Keema's Adventure: Spriggans
#10 of A Voluptuous Lizard's Adventures in Skyrim
Keema and Athis get a request from Danica to restore the gildergreen to it's former glory. With Athis feeling uneasy towards the sanctuary with his religious beliefs, she sets out on her own inside the sanctuary and has a nasty encounter with spriggans, can she endure their torment long enough for Athis to provide assistance?
Keema had managed to return the sword after unlocking the chest from Hajvarr's chest, and returned the sword to Amren.
Amren was, needless to say, grateful about it, and told her he'd pay her back one day, at least after his wife had calmed down a bit for him to make more money with his mercenary work.
So now here she was, at the companions mead hall the next day, and her task was a similar to her previous task: retrieve a blade called nettlebane from a hagraven.
"Wait, so you're saying that you want this knife? This ancient blade that existed hundreds of years ago, to be nabbed off a hagraven?" Keema asked Danica Pure Spring.
"Yes, but this isn't any ordinary blade, it's something that was particularly made to harm the natural world" Danica explained.
"... And what does a priest's interests align with such a thing?" Keema asked her.
"It was made to be used to sacrifice spriggans and more effectively harvest their sap and taproots" Danica explained to her.
"By the gods, don't tell me you intend to harvest them too?" Athis, who was listening nearby, approached them both and asked her.
"Yes, but for a completely different purpose, trust me on this, it's to repair the gildergreen located here in whiterun. Less and less worshippers come here because of it, and a dead tree isn't inspiring when you come all the way to worship right underneath it. It's disrespectful to the pilgrims. Nettlebane is located near whiterun, follow the road east of it and you'll find a coven of witches and a hagraven. I'd go for it myself but I'm a priest, not a battlemage" Danica told them.
"And this knife, it's going to help in the repairing of the tree? Didn't you just say earlier that it's made to 'harm' the natural world?" Athis asked Danica.
"Look, I'll explain further when you two get the knife, I'll have a sum of gold waiting when you two return. I'd love to explain more but I have my duties as a priest to attend to and I can't leave the temple unattended for too long" Danica said as she returned to the temple of Kynareth.
Keema didn't know what to make of it, to her almost all weapons are made to harm the natural world logically, weapons and magic were almost always used to kill others so what would make this weapon any different?
She shrugged it off and got ready to leave, equipping a bandolier with healing potions and poisons attached to it, with her blade on the side of her hips, she got ready to set out for her journey near helgen to get the dagger.
"Mind if I be your shield brother today? I'm curious what this nettlebane looks like" Athis insisted.
"Sure, maybe I'll even let you keep it if it's as good as she says it is" Keema said, agreeing to let him accompany her on the journey.
"Heh, maybe it'll be even better than my swords, things can barely cut through heavy armor" Athis said as they left jorvaskrr to retrieve the blade.
...
At they passed through helgen, Athis had some questions in mind for her.
"Say, Keema, this is where the dragon attack happened right?" Athis asked her.
Keema affirmed his suspicions.
"Yes it is, look there in the courtyard, you could see them" Keema pointed at something.
Athis looked around and saw what she was pointing at, it was a charred corpse laying on the ground, and it looked like it would crumble if they so much as touched it.
"So this is what a dragon can do, and I thought my flame cloak was one of the best fire spells... Guess not. Seems you're more capable than I thought you'd be considering you survived the attack" Athis said as they passed through Helgen.
"It's not a big deal, I had help in the first place remember" Keema said modestly.
"Well it would have to be a huge coincidence that not only did you survive the first dragon attack in hundreds of years but you also became the dragonborn, it's too much of a coincidence if you ask me" Athis said.
"Whatever the case is, don't get your head too high up the clouds, we still have a job to do" Keema reminded him.
"Funny, you're starting to sound like the old man" Athis chuckled.
As they walked up the road, they noticed to the left was an entrance in the forest that lead to a witch coven, and based on the spriggran parts strung up near the trees and skulls impaled on wooden pikes, they were close.
The two nodded and began sneaking.
Seeing the coven of witches, Athis looked cautiously at them.
"Magic wielding s'wits..." Athis muttered.
"Ready?" Keema asked him.
Athis nodded and they both charged at the witches.
The wtiches were taken by surprise and were quickly dealt with by the both of them, with Keema using her poisons to halt their magicka regeneration and Athis being naturally resistant to their fire spells, they were no match.
The hagraven though, wasn't going to give up easily.
The hagraven, realizing it's followers were slaughtered, started hurling fireballs at the two companions.
Keema and Athis ducked, knowing that the hagraven had hit them and how powerful their magics were.
"Take cover behind me!" Athis told Keema.
Keema charged right behind Athis, who charged two fireballs from the hagraven and closed the gap between them.
The hagraven got staggered by both of their attacks, with Keema slashing away with her whiterun sword and Athis dual wielding his skyforge steel swords, the hagraven crumbled in a bloody heap before them.
"Huff... That's that..." Keema said, taking a drink of a healing potion from her bandolier.
"Now lets see what we have here..." Athis said, and started rummaging into the hagraven's ragged clothes.
"Disgusting..." Keema muttered as she looked at the hagraven.
Who would willingly subject themselves to such a depraved and gross looking form?
Athis managed to get a knife so old that it looked ancient based on its appearance alone.
"Found it!" Athis said as he held the knife in the sun.
The blade was engraved with an ancient language they couldn't recognize, had it not been, they would have mistook it as an ebony dagger.
"How do we know this is the one?" Keema asked him.
Athis looked at the dead hagraven on a brazier, it looked like it was about to be harvested had they not interrupted earlier.
"Only one way to find out" Athis said as he started to carve the spriggan open.
The dagger pried the spriggan open like it was butter, opening up to reveal sap ooz out like blood and a taproot for a heart.
"... Yes, that confirms it" Keema said.
"Now let's find out how this nettlebane can save the tree the gildergreen in whiterun" Athis said as they both left to return to Danica.
As they returned to whiterun and entered the temple, they saw Danica talking to someone.
"What is it... what has happened to the Gildergreen? I have traveled long here to worship beneath its branches." The man told her.
The man looked like a pilgrim based on his appearance.
"It was taken by a lightning strike. Wish I had time to deal with it, but it's hard enough with all these wounded from the war." Danica informed him.
"Please, don't just let it stay like this. It's disgraceful." The pilgrim argued.
"I really don't have time to deal with you right now. Please just let me get back to my work." Danica said as she began healing a wounded soldier.
"But this is supposed to be your work..." The pilgrim said in a defeated manner.
As Danica was healing the wounded soldier, Keema and Athis stepped in, with Athis holding nettlebane in his hand.
"We've succeeded, I assume you can repair the gildergreen with this?" Athis said, hand stretched to give Danica the blade, making it face towards him of course.
"Oh! I... Didn't expect you two to succeed actually..." Danica said in astonishment of the dagger being retrieved.
Keema didn't know if she should feel like she should be offended or act indifferent towards her statement.
"Uh... Of course I'm glad you two succeeded, this is your first half of the payment" Danica said as she gave them the gold, 500 septims for both of them.
"... Aren't you gonna take it?" Athis asked her.
"Now... I actually don't want to take it. It's purpose is to actually take the sap from the gildergreen, not this one, but the eldergleam. You wouldn't be able to get to it without nettlebane since not only can you not harm the tree using any other metal, but you also have to use it on it's roots. Their... gigantic to say the least, but if you slash at it with nettlebane, they say that it lifts them up to open a path for you, more out of fear than respect" Danica informed them.
"For a priestess, this doesn't seem right. Aren't you worshippers of the nine supposed to hold aedric sanctuaries and monuments in high regard?" Athis asked her.
"It's my duty as a priestess, and if the eldergleam here dies, the pilgrims might take it as an ill omen, and I can't afford the faith of the worship of Kynareth to disappear along with the tree. Please, this is the last step, you're not going to destroy the tree, I merely ask for a bit of sap and I can restore it to its former glory. I promise, just a bit of sap can make it last a hundred or so more years" Danica insisted.
"... Fine, we'll take the job, but this is the last time, anymore setbacks and it's someone else's problem" Keema told her.
"Splendid, the eldergleam sanctuary is located in a cave to the east, near the hot springs of skyrim, in a cave by the mountain. It's just north of riften and south of windhelm, here, I'll mark it on your map" Danica said before using some coal to mark the spot on Keema's map.
Athis felt uneasy about all this, but decided to follow Keema for now.
"We'll be back fast, the journey will be a ways off than we expected Athis. Can you keep up?" Keema asked him.
"Hah! I would be a disgrace to my ancestors if I didn't, lead the way" Athis said as they then traveled to the eldergleam sanctuary.
...
It was a long walk, but they had made it, they were now in front of the entrance to eldergleam sanctuary... But Athis wouldn't enter.
"Athis? What's wrong?" Keema asked him.
"Yeah uh... You know since I'm a dunmer and... I don't actually worship the nine divines, you know, I only worship boethiah and... You know what I mean" Athis said, not feeling too comfortable about telling her about his religious beliefs.
"I see... Your cultural beliefs are preventing you from entering?" Keema asked him.
"Yes, this place isn't too welcoming for someone who worships daedric princes and all that, I hope you understand" Athis said as he handed her nettlebane, which she took.
Keema understood, she had some friends in blackmarsh who were dunmer, and they taught her that either you worshipped aedra as a dunmer outside of morrowind, or you followed the three daedric pantheons in morrowind.
"Don't worry, I got this, I'll be right out the moment I enter. How hard could it be?" Keema said.
"Many thanks... But if you don't come back for too long, I'm coming in there to see if you really do need help. I may be held back by my beliefs but I'd rather it not be the cause of the death of a shield sister" Athis said as he turned around to guard the entrance.
Keema nodded and left for the sanctuary.
As she entered a long tunnel that had a few turns, she was greeted by a beautiful sight of flora that had grown undisturbed in time, along with a huge tree that had sunlight beaming out from a hole in the ceiling of the cave, which she assumed was the gildregreen.
She walked up to a bridge and was greeted by a pilgrim.
"Hello there, friend. Have you come to enjoy the sights and sounds of this beautiful sanctuary, as I have? Truly remarkable, isn't it?" The nord asked her as he sat down on the grass.
She nodded awkwardly and made her way further.
A female nord greeted her on the way before she could approach the roots.
"Welcome to Eldergleam Sanctuary friend, just a small glimpse of what beauty Kynareth has to offer. Wonderful place, isn't it?" The nord asked her.
"Yes... Is that the eldergleam?" Keema asked her, pointing up at the tree.
"Yes, my friend. Though no one has been able to get close to her for as long as I can remember" The nord told her.
"Why not?" Keema asked her.
"As you can see, Eldergleam's roots are large and stretch far, blocking any path to her trunk. Though, believe it or not, there are rumors of a weapon that even Eldergleam herself would lift her roots for, more out of fear than respect." The nord explained to her.
"You mean this?" Keema asked her and showed her nettlebane.
The nord looked shock and then fearful.
"The rumors were true... I beg of you, don't harm the tree! Nothing good can come of it" The nord said, begging her to stop.
"It'll only be a bit of sap, I'm not going to destroy the tree" Keema said, trying to reason with her.
"You don't know what you're dealing with. There will be consequences if you harm that tree. Leave this place, you're not welcome here anymore." The nord said as she fearfully ran away from her.
Keema sighed, she shouldn't have showed her nettlebane in the first place, but it had to be done to repair the gildergreen.
She went up the steps and proceeded to slash at the tree roots, which was true to Danica said, it lifted itself up to let her in. She continued to do so and managed to get to the base of the tree.
"There, now I just have to get a bit of sap, and I can get back to whiterun" Keema said, and as she was about to carve a hole into the tree, two hands shot out and grabbed her wrists, making her drop nettlebane in surprise as she tried to push away by planting her foot on the tree but before she could, another set of hands grabbed her feet.
Three more spriggans came out of the surrounding trees and held her in a provocative position, forcing her with her ass sticking out and bent over while her hands were placed upon the tree.
They stripped her down to her bare body to make sure that she didn't have any tricks up her sleeve, suspicious of the intruder that dared to harm the eldergleam.
One of them even kicked nettlebane onto the steps, far away from her reach.
"P-Please! I just need a bit of sap!" She pleaded to all the spriggans.
This seemed to anger the spriggans who were trying to protect the tree and decided to dish out their own brand of punishment on her in retaliation for her attempted defilement.
Three spriggans (Excluding the ones holding her feet and wrists) grew vines out of their wrists and before she knew it, they were now holding vine-like whips.
The three spriggans started to whip her ass over and over, making her cry out in pain, before moaning as she felt a warm and tingling sensation with each whipping she got.
"Ah! W-Wait- AH! S-Stop! I was just- Uwah!" She tried to beg them to stop but she could barely get a word in before they would whip her hard again.
The three whipped her in a synchronized fashion, three whips at the same time each time they cracked their vines on her ass.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Stop! Ah! H-Hah! Hah! Hah... Hah... hah...~" Her moans of pain turned into moans of pleasure as her juices dripped on the grass.
The spriggans hissed at the sight, how dare this amphibian pour her juices just as a nord pisses on the grass.
One of them came up to her, dropped her vine whip, and jammed it's wooden fingers in her pussy.
She gasped in pleasure as she tried to wiggle her hips and get the fingers out of her cunt, causing the spriggan to get angrier.
The spriggan started to bury her arm into her, making Keema grit her teeth as her pussy took the whole forearm in, making her belly bulge a bit and her pussy sop with more juices.
"Stop... I-I can't take it..." Keema moaned as her pussy was pleasured by something so foreign and rough textured to her.
The spriggans didn't stop as she got fisted, she never took anything the size of someone's fist... Or as long as a forearm before, but she couldn't resist it as she came upon the fist.
The spriggan fisting her looked in disgust as she had defiled its fist, and pulled her entire forearm out, looking in disgust at the mess the argonian made.
In their minds, if she was gonna harvest the eldergleam, then they would harvest her in return.
They placed what looked to be a wooden bowl below her, and started to pinch her clit.
"A-Ah! N-No! Don't pinch that pa-a-artttt!!!" She screamed as her sensitive clit was pinched by the spriggans.
Not only that, but one of them began to tease the outside of her pussy, causing more juices to come out.
The other took two of her breasts and started to squeeze them with their hands, feeling up huge breasts and giving them a good squishing together.
"N-No... I only wanted to get the sap... I didn't know this... C-Could happen...!" Keema weakly moaned as her juices dripped down onto the bowl.
The spriggan teasing the outer rim of her pussy then started fingering her, making her already tired body even more aroused than it was before.
"Stop... I'm gonna... I'm gonna cum if you keep doing that!" Keema yelled, even knowing that they would ignore her pleas.
The spriggans fingered her even harder for that, with her breasts and clit being squeezed, she had no choice but let the inevitable happen, and she came in large amounts, cumming into the cup below her as she howled.
"Uwaaaaaaahhhh!!!" Keema yelled, as she squirted onto the cup, before falling limp... If only for the hands keeping her in place, she would have fallen though.
Keema thought it was finally over, she could go free, maybe even be allowed to collect some sap... Until she saw to her horror, the spriggans producing 5 more wooden cups to fill.
"N-Noooooooooo!!!" Keema yelled as the fingering, and the breast and clit pinching resumed, moaning like a slut.
Meanwhile...
Athis waited impatiently, it had been an hour since she had entered the sanctuary.
"That's it! I'm not gonna stand around to waste anymore time!" Athis said as he charged inside.
...
"N-No more... I can't cum anymore..." Keema begged uselessly as the spriggans didn't give her a break the whole time.
Her pussy was aching from cumming so many times already, and had filled up three cups, with two more cups still empty. She wasn't even sure that they'd even stop if she filled up all of them, or if they had more punishments in store for her.
"Get away from her you filthy tree huggers!" Athis said, charging in with nettlebane he managed to pick up from the steps earlier.
The spriggans were unprepared and were swiftly struck down by nettlebane in his hands. The ones holding Keema's hands and feet sprung into action, but were no match for Athis as well, and was slain as easily.
"Keema! I'm sorry I left you alone!" Athis said, apologizing to her.
Keema could only mutter something that she could manage in that time.
"The eldergleam.. Take it's sap quick..." Keema said exhaustedly.
"Right... I should be able to..." Athis said, carving a small hole into the tree with nettlebane before collecting the sap in an empty potion bottle.
Keema sighed, for a sacred sanctuary, this place had all manners of lewd guardians.
Keema got dressed although she felt tired.
"We have to get to whiterun" Keema told Athis.
"You should rest first" Athis told her.
"But-" Keema tried to argue, she was a companion after all, and she shouldn't show weakness as a warrior.
"It's fine, I'll keep an eye, I doubt those tree loving parasites will catch me offguard while holding this. See? This is why I don't like going to places deemed sacred by the nine divines, you see this place and they're still as dangerous as daedric realms.Just sleep Keema, I'll make sure you're safe" Athis assured her.
Comforted by the words of her shield brother, she slept soundly in the peaceful environment of eldergleam sanctuary.
"By the gods... Do you think that elf is there to defile the sanctuary?" The female nord asked the male nord.
"I don't know, but if they did, the spriggans would have come after us by now... Only time will tell" The female nord down below said as they relaxed.
Alright! The next chapter will be Olfrid Battleborn blackmailing her to fuck with him after he catches her in his house trying to find the imperial letter, if you all have any thoughts let me know
