Jack, an unassuming holiday traveler, does a dirty deed in a dirty place.

The darkness of the cave was absolute and I couldn't even tell if my eyes were open or closed.&nbsp;&nbsp;I had never experienced such a complete sensory loss before and not even being blindfolded could compare to it.&nbsp;&nbsp;At least when you wear a blindfold you know you can take it off.&nbsp;&nbsp;I had lost my only source of light and the helplessness of that knowledge was beyond my capacity to bear.&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;Not that it mattered since my luggage was gone anyway.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

I 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course that wasn't going to do me any good.&nbsp;&nbsp;I wasn't going to hear my way out of this cave and I certainly couldn't defend myself by sound alone.&nbsp;&nbsp;The creeping sensation that unseen things were all around me was maddening.&nbsp;&nbsp;I jammed the useless piece of technology into my pocket before grasping the hilt of another useless thing.&nbsp;&nbsp;I ripped Zoe out of her sheath with a ring of steel.

 

"--n't put me back to sleep!" the sword finished her earlier objection before making an observation:&nbsp;&nbsp;"Oh...&nbsp;&nbsp;Why is it so dark?"

 

I held her blade out in front of me in a feeble attempt to ward off any danger.&nbsp;&nbsp;"I lost my light!&nbsp;&nbsp;I can't see anything!"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Well, find it!" she insisted.&nbsp;&nbsp;"This is really scary!"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"It won't work!"&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Whoa!&nbsp;&nbsp;What are you doing?&nbsp;&nbsp;You're going to-- OW!" she cried out as her blade smashed against a stalagmite.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Ow!&nbsp;&nbsp;Stop that!"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

I 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"I don't know what to do!" I whimpered.&nbsp;&nbsp;"I don't want to die here!"&nbsp;&nbsp;I reached forward and felt the stone pillar, finding some small comfort in its solid existence.&nbsp;&nbsp;Something I could hang onto in the dark.&nbsp;&nbsp;I leaned my back against it and sunk to the wet floor, feeling like breaking down and weeping like a little girl.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"We just need some light," Zoe offered.

 

"I don't have any damn light!"

 

"I can make light."

 

"You can?"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Yeah... um... it's just there's sort of a whole thing to it," Zoe admitted with an unsure voice.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

I shook her in front of me impatiently.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Then make light!" I insisted.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Wait, wait!&nbsp;&nbsp;I can't just do it when I want to!"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"What?&nbsp;&nbsp;Why not?"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Because that's not how it works.&nbsp;&nbsp;I need someone to help me."&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"What do I have to do?" I asked feeling around her hilt.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Is it a switch or something?"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"No, it's nothing like that... it's just..."&nbsp;&nbsp;Zoe sighed.&nbsp;&nbsp;"I just met you and this is all happening too fast!"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"What are you talking about?" I demanded.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Just tell me what to do!"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Okay!&nbsp;&nbsp;Okay!&nbsp;&nbsp;You need to..." her voice dropped to a shy whisper, "... stroke my pommel."&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Your what?"

 

"My... bottom."

 

I turned her, put a hand on the butt of her hilt and rubbed it vigorously.&nbsp;&nbsp;"What?&nbsp;&nbsp;Like this?"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Eeek!&nbsp;&nbsp;N-not so rough!" she warned shrilly.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Do it gently!"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

I eased up and slowed down.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Yeah... yeah, that's better. Just use your fingertips."&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

I started polishing her smooth pommel, running my fingers over it, but there was no sign of any light.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Nothing is happening."&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"It takes a b-bit," she said with a small gasp.&nbsp;&nbsp;"K-keep going."&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

I continued and noticed Zoe was growing warm.&nbsp;&nbsp;Something was starting to happen, but still no light.&nbsp;&nbsp;She buzzed lightly in my hand and uttered a groan.

 

"Are you okay?" I asked.

 

"I-I'm good.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's good," she replied shakily.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Just that your hands are so soft and I haven't done this in such a long time.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe... change it up a bit?&nbsp;&nbsp;Try tracing your finger around the tip."

 

I could feel the row of decorative nodules around her pommel and ran a finger over them.&nbsp;&nbsp;A sharp jolt ran through her.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Oh, gods, yes!" she responded breathily.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Just like that, master!"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Wait... are you getting off on this?" I suddenly realized as I pulled my fingers away.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"_Nuu!_&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't stop!" she demanded with a gasping voice.&nbsp;&nbsp;"I was almost there!"&nbsp;&nbsp;There was a dim purple glow that flickered through her blade before disappearing.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"This is crazy!"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"You wanted light!&nbsp;&nbsp;Y-you have to rub me!" she begged frantically.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Please don't stop now, Master Jake!&nbsp;&nbsp;I was so close!"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"It's Jack," I grumbled.

 

"Master Jack, that's what I said!" she whined.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Please finish!&nbsp;&nbsp;I need to light so badly right now!"

 

Well, she did start to glow, so that was promising.&nbsp;&nbsp;If this would get me out of this cave I guess I didn't have much choice.&nbsp;&nbsp;I reluctantly put my fingers back onto her pommel and she gasped.&nbsp;&nbsp;Her hilt grew hotter and her blade started to gleam a dim purple as I rubbed.

 

"Is that it?" I asked her.&nbsp;&nbsp;A cell phone screen was easily brighter.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"I can m-make way more," she assured with a moan.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Do it faster!"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

I stepped up my pace and her hilt hummed in response.&nbsp;&nbsp;She also started muttering quiet "Oh, gods.&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, gods", which didn't make the whole experience any less awkward.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, she was starting to get a little brighter.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Harder!&nbsp;&nbsp;Rub it all over!" she coaxed me, which I obliged.&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Suck on it!" she suddenly insisted.

 

"What?&nbsp;&nbsp;No!"

 

"Then lick it!"

 

"Stop making this weird!"

 

She whimpered like a puppy.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Ooh, but I'm sooo close!"&nbsp;&nbsp;Her glow shimmered erratically and my hand was starting to get tired, but I rubbed for all I was worth.&nbsp;&nbsp;She didn't appear to mind the rough handling anymore, in fact, she encouraged it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Repeating "Harder!" in rapid succession.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

Then she fell silent.&nbsp;&nbsp;The gasping and muttering stopped.&nbsp;&nbsp;The glow fell down to barely a flicker and I sensed I had done something wrong.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just as I was about to stop rubbing, Zoe screamed an intense wail of bliss.

 

"_AAAWWW!&nbsp;&nbsp;AAAGH!_"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Christ on a stick!" I cried out as I held Zoe away from myself and winced.&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;The entire cavern was abruptly flooded with light, not even allowing for shadows to exist.&nbsp;&nbsp;I put up my hand to shield myself from the light. As my eyes adjusted I saw that there were creatures all around.&nbsp;&nbsp;Several axolotl-pedes had been attempting to sneak up on me in the dark and had very nearly managed to.&nbsp;&nbsp;They were far more shocked by Zoe's light than I was.&nbsp;&nbsp;They shrieked and stumbled over each other, slamming into walls and crashing into stalagmites in their haste to flee.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

'Aaww!&nbsp;&nbsp;Ahh!&nbsp;&nbsp;Ahh!" Zoe continued her--what I guess was a lightgasm--and wailed uncontrollably.&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;Large, dark, bat-like monsters that were very disturbed by the noise and light.&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;The blind bats started to drop from the roof of the cave and unfolded twin sets of membrane covered wings as they took flight.&nbsp;&nbsp;Wings with brightly colored spots like those of a moth or butterfly.&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;They screeched and shrilled but fortunately they weren't interested in attacking.&nbsp;&nbsp;After a few moments they synchronized their flight with each other and it was like looking up through a huge school of swirling fish.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then, as if on cue, they all quickly and efficiently filed out through one of the many passageways.

 

Zoe's light started to lose its intensity, and so did her cries of ecstasy.&nbsp;&nbsp;She gasped and sputtered, humming softly in my hand and had grown quite hot.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Ohhh, masterrr," she purred.&nbsp;&nbsp;"That was amazing!"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

I stood up and brushed myself off.&nbsp;&nbsp;Rather pointless since what had been dripping on me the whole time and soaked through all my clothes was _not_ water.&nbsp;&nbsp;All the more reason to leave this place.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"You have magic hands," Zoe cooed.

 

"Can we please not talk about that?" I grumbled as I raised her up.&nbsp;&nbsp;Her light had fallen to the intensity of a lantern and appeared to stabilize.&nbsp;&nbsp;I looked around and to my delight, spotted my luggage.&nbsp;&nbsp;I rushed over to recover it.&nbsp;&nbsp;It had a gaping hole melted in it, but was still mostly intact.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

Zoe managed to compose herself.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Okay.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm good."&nbsp;&nbsp;She gave a quivering sigh.&nbsp;&nbsp;"So what should we do now?"

 

"Well, the salamander things ran that way."&nbsp;&nbsp;I motioned in one direction.&nbsp;&nbsp;"But the bats all went out that direction." I pointed to the passageway.&nbsp;&nbsp;"I assume they would want to leave the cave, so I guess that would be the way out."&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"That makes sense," Zoe agreed.

 

I 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;The wet, smelly path was the right path.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

After 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps the bats just lived in the cave and only flew around inside it?&nbsp;&nbsp;That might explain why I've never seen any of these animals before.&nbsp;&nbsp;They simply haven't been discovered living in an underground cave system.&nbsp;&nbsp;I supposed if I did find my way out I might become famous for this discovery.&nbsp;&nbsp;Heck, I even took some pictures of one of these creatures.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe I'll be celebrated by the Nature Channel as a famous explorer.&nbsp;&nbsp;Plus I got a talking sword that orgasms light.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm sure that must be interesting to someone.&nbsp;&nbsp;But all that was a matter for another time.&nbsp;&nbsp;I was tired, sore, and getting anxious about the thought of being stuck underground forever, when I sensed something.

 

"Do you feel that?" I asked.

 

"Yeah!&nbsp;&nbsp;I think I do!" Zoe said excitedly.

 

"Smells like fresh air!" I started walking faster.&nbsp;&nbsp;Before long a light appeared ahead.&nbsp;&nbsp;I rounded a corner and there was sunlight.&nbsp;&nbsp;Beautiful sunlight illuminating an exit.&nbsp;&nbsp;I felt like crying.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

I squinted my eyes as I stepped out into the daylight, feeling a huge wave of relief.&nbsp;&nbsp;Which didn't last long since it was sweltering even compared to inside the cave.&nbsp;&nbsp;The cave opened on the side of a mountain, below me was a lush, forest that had a strangely purple/pink hue.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the distance beyond there was an ocean that appeared orange with faint peaks of blue mountains beyond.&nbsp;&nbsp;Being in the dark so long must have really screwed with my eyes if I couldn't see color correctly.&nbsp;&nbsp;To the left and right were tall mountain ranges that appeared to stretch on forever.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

Where was I, exactly?&nbsp;&nbsp;There was no way this was the Rockies, too close to the ocean.&nbsp;&nbsp;Europe?&nbsp;&nbsp;No, that forest looked tropical. Perhaps someplace in South America?&nbsp;&nbsp;Peru?&nbsp;&nbsp;That didn't seem right either.&nbsp;&nbsp;It couldn't be Hawaii, the mountain range was too vast.

 

"Ooh!&nbsp;&nbsp;That's a pretty planet!" Zoe exclaimed.

 

"What planet?"&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

"Up there."&nbsp;&nbsp;

 

For a moment I could only gape stupidly.&nbsp;&nbsp;Above me was a large object that dominated the sky.&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;Glancing around there was another much smaller planet, then another.&nbsp;&nbsp;A blue one and a gray one.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then I noticed a dark spot in the sky that appeared to glow blackness.

 

I swallowed a hard lump in my throat. "Zoe... where the hell am I?"&nbsp;
