an unassuming holiday traveler, does a dirty deed in a dirty place.","content":"The darkness of the cave was absolute and I couldn't even tell if my eyes were open or closed.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I had never experienced such a complete sensory loss before and not even being blindfolded could compare to it.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;At least when you wear a blindfold you know you can take it off.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I had lost my only source of light and the helplessness of that knowledge was beyond my capacity to bear.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;For a few moments I frantically attempted to get the phone to switch back on, but it would only make a tone as the screen attempted to boot but only flickered before shutting back down.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;It had gotten wet and sticking it into a bag of rice wasn't an option since I didn't have the foresight to pack any for my trip.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Not that it mattered since my luggage was gone anyway.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nI stood frozen in place, my breath came in ragged, terrified bursts as I tried to hold it in order to hear but continuously failing and making it worse.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Of course that wasn't going to do me any good.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I wasn't going to hear my way out of this cave and I certainly couldn't defend myself by sound alone.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;The creeping sensation that unseen things were all around me was maddening.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I jammed the useless piece of technology into my pocket before grasping the hilt of another useless thing.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I ripped Zoe out of her sheath with a ring of steel.\n\n \n\n\"--n't put me back to sleep!\" the sword finished her earlier objection before making an observation:\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Oh...\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Why is it so dark?\"\n\n \n\nI held her blade out in front of me in a feeble attempt to ward off any danger.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"I lost my light!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I can't see anything!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Well, find it!\" she insisted.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"This is really scary!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"It won't work!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I waved her around, trying to attack what my mind was convinced was about to sink its teeth--or whatever unpleasant thing it eats with--into me.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Whoa!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;What are you doing?\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;You're going to-- OW!\" she cried out as her blade smashed against a stalagmite.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Ow!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Stop that!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nI managed to stop myself from giving into the panic and lashing out wildly, hoping to God that what I had hit really was a stalagmite and not another one of those snail monstrosities.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"I don't know what to do!\" I whimpered.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"I don't want to die here!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I reached forward and felt the stone pillar, finding some small comfort in its solid existence.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Something I could hang onto in the dark.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I leaned my back against it and sunk to the wet floor, feeling like breaking down and weeping like a little girl.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"We just need some light,\" Zoe offered.\n\n \n\n\"I don't have any damn light!\"\n\n \n\n\"I can make light.\"\n\n \n\n\"You can?\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Yeah... um... it's just there's sort of a whole thing to it,\" Zoe admitted with an unsure voice.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nI shook her in front of me impatiently.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Then make light!\" I insisted.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Wait, wait!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I can't just do it when I want to!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"What?\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Why not?\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Because that's not how it works.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I need someone to help me.\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"What do I have to do?\" I asked feeling around her hilt.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Is it a switch or something?\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"No, it's nothing like that... it's just...\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Zoe sighed.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"I just met you and this is all happening too fast!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"What are you talking about?\" I demanded.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Just tell me what to do!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Okay!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Okay!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;You need to...\" her voice dropped to a shy whisper, \"... stroke my pommel.\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Your what?\"\n\n \n\n\"My... bottom.\"\n\n \n\nI turned her, put a hand on the butt of her hilt and rubbed it vigorously.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"What?\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Like this?\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Eeek!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;N-not so rough!\" she warned shrilly.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Do it gently!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nI eased up and slowed down.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Yeah... yeah, that's better. Just use your fingertips.\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nI started polishing her smooth pommel, running my fingers over it, but there was no sign of any light.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Nothing is happening.\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"It takes a b-bit,\" she said with a small gasp.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"K-keep going.\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nI continued and noticed Zoe was growing warm.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Something was starting to happen, but still no light.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;She buzzed lightly in my hand and uttered a groan.\n\n \n\n\"Are you okay?\" I asked.\n\n \n\n\"I-I'm good.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;It's good,\" she replied shakily.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Just that your hands are so soft and I haven't done this in such a long time.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Maybe... change it up a bit?\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Try tracing your finger around the tip.\"\n\n \n\nI could feel the row of decorative nodules around her pommel and ran a finger over them.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;A sharp jolt ran through her.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Oh, gods, yes!\" she responded breathily.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Just like that, master!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Wait... are you getting off on this?\" I suddenly realized as I pulled my fingers away.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"_Nuu!_\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Don't stop!\" she demanded with a gasping voice.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"I was almost there!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;There was a dim purple glow that flickered through her blade before disappearing.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"This is crazy!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"You wanted light!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Y-you have to rub me!\" she begged frantically.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Please don't stop now, Master Jake!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I was so close!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"It's Jack,\" I grumbled.\n\n \n\n\"Master Jack, that's what I said!\" she whined.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Please finish!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I need to light so badly right now!\"\n\n \n\nWell, she did start to glow, so that was promising.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;If this would get me out of this cave I guess I didn't have much choice.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I reluctantly put my fingers back onto her pommel and she gasped.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Her hilt grew hotter and her blade started to gleam a dim purple as I rubbed.\n\n \n\n\"Is that it?\" I asked her.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;A cell phone screen was easily brighter.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"I can m-make way more,\" she assured with a moan.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Do it faster!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nI stepped up my pace and her hilt hummed in response.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;She also started muttering quiet \"Oh, gods.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Oh, gods\", which didn't make the whole experience any less awkward.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;However, she was starting to get a little brighter.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Harder!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Rub it all over!\" she coaxed me, which I obliged.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Her light was beginning to reach out into the darkness and I could now dimly see my hand doing what I suspected was a very lewd act. Even though she claimed that she didn't breathe, she was panting quite convincingly.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Suck on it!\" she suddenly insisted.\n\n \n\n\"What?\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;No!\"\n\n \n\n\"Then lick it!\"\n\n \n\n\"Stop making this weird!\"\n\n \n\nShe whimpered like a puppy.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Ooh, but I'm sooo close!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Her glow shimmered erratically and my hand was starting to get tired, but I rubbed for all I was worth.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;She didn't appear to mind the rough handling anymore, in fact, she encouraged it.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Repeating \"Harder!\" in rapid succession.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nThen she fell silent.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;The gasping and muttering stopped.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;The glow fell down to barely a flicker and I sensed I had done something wrong.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Just as I was about to stop rubbing, Zoe screamed an intense wail of bliss.\n\n \n\n\"_AAAWWW!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;AAAGH!_\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Christ on a stick!\" I cried out as I held Zoe away from myself and winced.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Her blade had burst into an intense flair of purple brilliance, too bright even to look at and I could feel the heat of it on my face.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;The entire cavern was abruptly flooded with light, not even allowing for shadows to exist.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I put up my hand to shield myself from the light. As my eyes adjusted I saw that there were creatures all around.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Several axolotl-pedes had been attempting to sneak up on me in the dark and had very nearly managed to.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;They were far more shocked by Zoe's light than I was.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;They shrieked and stumbled over each other, slamming into walls and crashing into stalagmites in their haste to flee.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n'Aaww!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Ahh!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Ahh!\" Zoe continued her--what I guess was a lightgasm--and wailed uncontrollably.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;It echoed through the cave, and the much brighter light source easily extended to the ceiling far above me to reveal a swarming mass of hairy creatures.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Large, dark, bat-like monsters that were very disturbed by the noise and light.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Their faces looked down at me in agitation, faces that didn't have any eyes that I could see but possessed a very toothy mouth and multiple pairs of fanned ears.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;The blind bats started to drop from the roof of the cave and unfolded twin sets of membrane covered wings as they took flight.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Wings with brightly colored spots like those of a moth or butterfly.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;In seconds the cave was filled with the monsters fluttering about chaotically, and I dropped down to the ground flat on my back to avoid them.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;They screeched and shrilled but fortunately they weren't interested in attacking.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;After a few moments they synchronized their flight with each other and it was like looking up through a huge school of swirling fish.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Then, as if on cue, they all quickly and efficiently filed out through one of the many passageways.\n\n \n\nZoe's light started to lose its intensity, and so did her cries of ecstasy.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;She gasped and sputtered, humming softly in my hand and had grown quite hot.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Ohhh, masterrr,\" she purred.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"That was amazing!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nI stood up and brushed myself off.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Rather pointless since what had been dripping on me the whole time and soaked through all my clothes was _not_ water.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;All the more reason to leave this place.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"You have magic hands,\" Zoe cooed.\n\n \n\n\"Can we please not talk about that?\" I grumbled as I raised her up.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Her light had fallen to the intensity of a lantern and appeared to stabilize.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I looked around and to my delight, spotted my luggage.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I rushed over to recover it.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;It had a gaping hole melted in it, but was still mostly intact.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nZoe managed to compose herself.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"Okay.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I'm good.\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;She gave a quivering sigh.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"So what should we do now?\"\n\n \n\n\"Well, the salamander things ran that way.\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I motioned in one direction.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"But the bats all went out that direction.\" I pointed to the passageway.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\"I assume they would want to leave the cave, so I guess that would be the way out.\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"That makes sense,\" Zoe agreed.\n\n \n\nI held her up in front of me as I dragged my luggage toward the passageway. The entrance to it had a uniform round shape and the passage maintained that uniformity like it had been carved rather than eroded. Similar to what those boring machines do to make underground tunnels. Was I under a city in an abandoned subway system? No, there were still cave formations in the passage. Stalactites take thousands of years to form, right? So it must be a natural cave that happens to be perfectly shaped for a bus to drive through. The going was treacherous since the floor was slick with a substance I didn't want to think too much about. There was an upward incline which caused me to slide backwards on occasion, but I took as a good sign that I was going to eventually reach the surface.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;The passage turned and branched multiple times, but it was easy to tell which way to go because of the obvious trail the bats left along the ground.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;The wet, smelly path was the right path.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nAfter at least three miles of walking and stopping once to \"relight\" Zoe when she began to fade, I started to worry that I was never actually going to find an exit.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Perhaps the bats just lived in the cave and only flew around inside it?\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;That might explain why I've never seen any of these animals before.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;They simply haven't been discovered living in an underground cave system.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I supposed if I did find my way out I might become famous for this discovery.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Heck, I even took some pictures of one of these creatures.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Maybe I'll be celebrated by the Nature Channel as a famous explorer.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Plus I got a talking sword that orgasms light.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I'm sure that must be interesting to someone.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;But all that was a matter for another time.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I was tired, sore, and getting anxious about the thought of being stuck underground forever, when I sensed something.\n\n \n\n\"Do you feel that?\" I asked.\n\n \n\n\"Yeah!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I think I do!\" Zoe said excitedly.\n\n \n\n\"Smells like fresh air!\" I started walking faster.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Before long a light appeared ahead.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I rounded a corner and there was sunlight.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Beautiful sunlight illuminating an exit.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I felt like crying.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nI squinted my eyes as I stepped out into the daylight, feeling a huge wave of relief.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Which didn't last long since it was sweltering even compared to inside the cave.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;The cave opened on the side of a mountain, below me was a lush, forest that had a strangely purple/pink hue.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;In the distance beyond there was an ocean that appeared orange with faint peaks of blue mountains beyond.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Being in the dark so long must have really screwed with my eyes if I couldn't see color correctly.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;To the left and right were tall mountain ranges that appeared to stretch on forever.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nWhere was I, exactly?\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;There was no way this was the Rockies, too close to the ocean.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Europe?\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;No, that forest looked tropical. Perhaps someplace in South America?\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Peru?\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;That didn't seem right either.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;It couldn't be Hawaii, the mountain range was too vast.\n\n \n\n\"Ooh!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;That's a pretty planet!\" Zoe exclaimed.\n\n \n\n\"What planet?\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\n\"Up there.\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n\nFor a moment I could only gape stupidly.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Above me was a large object that dominated the sky.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;A pink and yellow orb with a gossamer ring around it that reached from horizon to horizon. The giant planet dwarfed the sun right next to it. A sun that didn't seem to be the correct color.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Glancing around there was another much smaller planet, then another.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;A blue one and a gray one.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Then I noticed a dark spot in the sky that appeared to glow blackness.\n\n \n\nI swallowed a hard lump in my throat. \"Zoe... where the hell am I?\"\u0026nbsp;","series":{"name":"Jack's Incidental Holiday","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/2110031-jih-chapter-3-a-snail-s-pace.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/2111350-jih-chapter-5-probing-questions.json"}}
