GW2 Fan Fiction: A Cartographer's Love
Dredgehaunt Cliffs, a mountainous region covered in snow and black smoke. The Dredge, mole like people, made their base there mining the various resources and attacking anyone who dared pass by. Gexxi was a cartographer who had wanted to create her own map of the region and compare it to previously created ones. Places changed constantly and Dredgehaunt Cliffs was no different. The surface would be easy to map, a simple trek around the area and she could have it memorized and painted upon paper without a problem, but there were so many underground passages that needed to be marked, so many areas that were dangerous that travelers needed to be wary of. As of today there were very few safe passages through the Cliffs. Her job was only made more difficult by fresh snow which had blanketed the region, coating the rocky mountains and the entrances to mines. Normally it would have been too dangerous even without the thick blanket of snow covering entrances and traps, but she had herself a good friend and protector. Gaxx had been with her ever since he was kicked out of his Krewe, they had established a good business relationship with one another and she was always relieved to have his hammer to protect her. The two Asura had often even shared the same tent, the same bed, but...mostly for protections sake, Gexxi had no real feelings for him; they were business associates after all and nothing else. Standing upon a hill near Wyrmblood Lake she packed her equipment and readied to begin moving again, she would succeed in her mission, she was confident of it.
Trotting along they made their way around the mountain. Gexxi had already mapped it and planned on heading to the center of the Dredehuant Cliffs where a larger mountain was located named Dosteov Sky Peak. This would be the final location she needed to complete her map of the area. She knew that there were many tunnels within the mountain as well that would need to be jotted down, but first she would climb the mountain with the help of her assistant. It had been a long, grueling week attempting to travel the region during this type of weather and she wasn't going to give up now, even with the constant nagging of her guardian. Gaxx had been a tremendous help in securing areas to allow her to work, but his constant complaints were a bit tiring. She preferred to work without much interruption or company. Really if it were up to her she would be working alone, but Gaxx was...to her Gaxx was a very welcome companion and one that didn't get in her way too often, although he did try to keep her out of what he assumed was too much trouble. Either way she was the leader and she would decide where they went, no matter how many times he warned her against it, and even though sometimes he was right.
Gaxx had his hammer out and in hand, he was prepared for the worst to happen, and in fact expected it. Gexxi had often gotten him into many, many troublesome situations, but this was perhaps her current record for the most dangerous location to explore. Not only was it dangerous, but the weather was terrible. They could have come another time, another time when it was snowing much less, but she had insisted on dragging their feet through the snow. Gaxx himself personally hated snow, never liked the stuff; he preferred a much more warm and inviting environment, still, he had no choice but to follow his friend and boss. She had the money, and at the same time even if she didn't pay him, he'd perhaps follow her to the ends of the mists.
Already he had fought several dredge. The mole like creatures had taken offense to their traveling around their territory and seemed to have taken a liking to occasionally sending a few of their combatants their way. Now, he had no trouble with bashing a few skulls in, but it was getting maddening the amount of times they had encountered a group of dredge with a vendetta, at least this mountain would be the final stop on their journey or rather, the mountain and then the inside of the mountain would be their last stop.
The trek up the mountain was a frightening one indeed. It was made more so by the fact that snow blanketed many of the already treacherous paths, making their footing very difficult. He thought of complaining, of telling her to forget the mountain and just go through the tunnels instead, but he knew she cared too much about precision. Still, without proper gear the mountain could prove fatal. He could see that she was hesitating now, scrunching up her face in disappointment as she looked up. There were no clear paths up the mountain and with the snow they could barely see any footholds.
At a certain point they couldn't reach any higher. He could see that Gexxi was unsatisfied with this, but they had to turn away. Upon seeing her turn Gaxx scratched at the back of his head letting his hammer rest upon the ground, "We'll get this part another time Gexxi, let's just be satisfied with the mountain itself. Besides, there can't be any minor details up there that you missed, well probably not. Regardless, how about we go home and acquire something warm to drink?"
Gexxi scoffed. Of course he was for turning away, he was always pulling her away from her work for safeties sake, although, that was what she hired him for. Sighing, her ears flopping just a bit she nodded her head before taking a step in his direction. Suddenly her foot sunk through the snow, she blinked looking beneath herself. Tugging her foot from the snow proved a bit too difficult for some reason and when Gaxx approached her foot sunk in deeper. Squeaking at this new event she reached to grab on to Gaxx's outstretched arm but it was too late. Beneath them rock and snow alike caved in and they were swallowed into the dark tunnels below, their cries falling upon deaf ears, swallowed by the wind.
Gexxi's head was foggy. Sitting up she could feel her entire body crying out in agony. Opening her eyes she could barely see before her except for a few dim lights in the distance, most likely torches set up by dredge. Groaning she attempted to stand and found herself nearly crying out as she stood upon her left foot. Stumbling, leaning against the wall she let out a hissing breath. Her pack was gone along with her maps, but that wasn't the main problem now. Her ankle was most likely either sprained or worse. She could heal it, but she needed some light first. Hobbling over to the torchlight she took notice that there was a hammer laid upon the tunnel's floor. She blink suddenly remembering, Gaxx had fallen in with her. Where was he? Had he been crushed by stone? A sudden panic rose from the pit of her stomach into her throat. Her only protection had been stripped from her, and worse yet, her only companion. She had spent so long with him that it was perhaps impossible to think of a day without the nagging guardian next to her. Biting back tears she continued hobbling on into the torch light where she sat, breathing out. She had so much to tell him to, she hadn't even thanked him properly for the so many times he had saved her, and she hadn't told him how she truly felt. Gexxi cared for him, much more than she was willing to admit, and now she would never see these feelings through. Suddenly she heard footsteps coming towards her. Her ears perking she looked towards the source praying to the Great Alchemy that it would be Gaxx, but fate was much too cruel for that.
Dredge, three of them came from the darkness, snickering and cackling rifles pointed at her. They could see she was hurt so they immediately aimed their rifles elsewhere moving to circle her. Looking down at herself she closed her eyes. It seemed it was truly the end now, she would be dead at the hands of these Dredge. One of them spoke, the largest one clad in black plating, obviously the leader, "Look at this! A mouse in our maze." they all laughed like idiots, her ears twitching from both their stupidity and their high pitched voices, again the leader spoke, "Maybe this one's a priory girl...either way we've never had a mouse alone here before. We should have our fun with her! Make things nice and slow. No need to kill her quick right boys?"
Gexxi spat and looked at them with no fear in her eyes, "You want to use me for your sick fun? Go ahead and try, see how far you get without me biting something off!" She squeaked then as her head was thrust into the dirt, her coat torn off by surprisingly strong hands. If she wasn't so sore she would have at least tried to struggle, but she was so weak. Already they were peeling off the layers of her clothing, getting off her pants, her underwear, her body now exposed to the cool tunnel air. She could feel one of them getting closer, heard the clink of the dredge's armor plating being removed, falling to the floor. Closing her eyes she prepared for the worst.
She heard a loud crack and she opened her eyes. One of the dredge had cried out before she heard another crack and then another followed by the sound of bodies hitting the floor and another crack, one with a much more wet tone to it. Gexxi's eyes turned wet upon hearing a familiar voice call to her with such warmth and concern, "Gexxi...Gexxi, tell me I didn't get here too late."
Gexxi struggled to lift herself up, having to stumble against the wall again as she turned to see her protector Gaxx standing there with bloodied hammer in hand, his own clothing tattered most likely from the fall, "I'm fine...just a little shaken and my ankle is hurting...that's all...I'm glad you're ok." she said quietly
Gaxx let out a breath of relief. He had caught them just in time before they violated her. Retrieving what was left of her clothing he frowned. They couldn't make it out of the tunnels like this. His own body was sore from the fall and he found it difficult to move after exerting so much strength in dispatching the dredge, and even with healing magic Gexxi was going to need some time off of that leg before moving on. Closing his eyes he decided it was best that they camp near the torch light. Touching her shoulder he spoke softly, "We'll stay here for a bit...I'll move the bodies and we'll rest for a bit. At least until your leg gets better. I don't want that thing getting worse...and this time I'll be right here to protect you."
Gexxi didn't have the energy to argue. Instead she slumped down to the wall, her hands already working on using her elemental magic to begin the healing process. Gaxx in the meantime watched over her, checking around. It seemed as though they were in a new tunnel. It was mostly dirt and supports, no metal structures common to dredge mining facilities. They could probably find their way out easy enough, the dredge were never stupid with their building of tunnels, always with multiple exits in case of emergency. He noticed though Gexxi was uncharacteristically quiet. She hadn't even complained about the loss of her maps, or what took him so long. It seemed a bit odd, but he decided to remain quiet. At least until her heard her sobbing. Turning to her he knelt down to check on her, worry on his face, "G-Gexxi...what's wrong? I'm here I'm here!"
Gexxi grabbed on to his arm and put her face upon it so glad that was back, so glad that he wasn't dead. She thought she had lost him forever. That realization that she would have been left alone without him had caused her to think, what if she really had lost him? He was worth more than the gold she gave him to protect her, he was something truly precious to her that she could never replace and so she spoke softly, "...that's just it...you could have been dead all because of me. All because of my stupid mistake...Gaxx don't leave my side ever just...just...I don't know."
Gaxx could see she was emotional, his cheeks flushed just a bit at the sudden emotion brought upon by his own near death. Setting his hammer to the side and taking a seat next to her he took one hand of her's in his and gave it a soft kiss, "I promised to protect you and I will...let's get some rest Gexxi ok?"
Gexxi dried her eyes with her free arm and sniffled just a bit looking at him before speaking, her gaze avoiding his, "...we'll need to share body heat for this type of weather...so get your clothes off."
Gaxx blinked, what was she saying!? They were perfectly fine next to the torch on the wall in the middle of a cave. It would make things worse if anything else, but upon seeing her face again and how pathetic she looked he bit at his lower lip standing to strip. Once he was finished he helped her up to do the same. He couldn't believe he was doing this of all things. Sitting back down upon the floor he hugged her close to his body, his heart rate increasing, thumping hard against his chest. Her head was against his chest and she nestled in close, her lips brushing against his skin ever so slightly. Letting out a shaky breath he closed his eyes. Rest, rest would keep him from thinking anything bad, from thinking about her nude body pressed against his, lips against his chest, her soft curves against his-- before he could finish that thought she suddenly moved over his lap, his cock sitting pretty between her rear. Blushing from ear to ear he looked to her blinking, not sure what she was doing.
Gexxi only looked at him through half lidded eyes, breathing out slowly as her hand moved back to grip at his cock, stroking, marveling that it was already fully erect from just a little contact. Gaxx was always in control of himself, always polite around her, always sure to serve her, but something broke the thread holding back his lust, "My insides need your warmth Gaxx...please."
His hands shaking, Gaxx moved them to grab at the back of her head, thumbs rubbing against her ears, fingers running through messy dark brown hair as he pressed his lips firmly against hers his eyes shutting. For a moment they shared a kiss, a loving passionate kiss that seemed to last forever. Their lips pressed and moved against one another. Occasionally they broke away to breath gasping out before returning to the kiss, Gexxi's hands moving to feel over his chest, fingers twitching, curling against his skin, careful not to scratch to hard. Gaxx then parted her lips with his own as he deepened the kiss, tongue slowly moving past her lips, testing the waters as he pushed it against her own. Gexxi's cheeks only flushed as he did this, her own tongue slowly moving to touch and roll around his. Now their kiss was complete, tongues dancing with one another's, hands move across their bodies to feel their respective lover's form, grey skin upon grey skin.
Gexxi had begun grinding her heated slit against his firm member, her body moving out of instinct and passion alone rather than through her own control, her mouth still focused on that deepened kiss before suddenly they pulled away, string of spittle connecting their lips. Gaxx opened his eyes slowly, panting as he stared into Gexxi's eyes, his hands moving now to cup her cheeks. He wasn't done with their kiss, not yet. His lips connected with her's hungrily, capturing them, loving them, his tongue pushing against them so gently. Gexxi herself let out a muffled moan at this, her heart ablaze as she felt his passion pour into her through her mouth. Perhaps it had been due to their bottled emotions, but she could barely process what was going on, she just wanted to be near him and never leave ever again.
Once this kiss was done she began whining, her hips moving, grinding her already dripping slit against his hard cock. Gaxx could feel her warmth against his cock and he shivered. Though they were nude in a cave he felt so hot, too hot even, but he wanted more, he wanted more of her warmth and so he carefully grabbed on to her hips, lifting her just a bit with her help to poise his cock against her entrance, biting his lips as he began moving up against her.
Gexxi breathed out, her eyes shut tight, it would be her first time, her first time with any man and it would be the love of her life, the man of her dreams. She bit at her lower lip and whimpered as she lowered her hips, shaking just a bit as she felt that beautiful cock enter her, pressing further and further inside of her until she could feel it pulsing within her. She breathed out, a silly smile growing upon her lips. Despite what pain she felt she was warm, she was happy and most of all she was with her love. She rolled her hips just a bit trying to force more of that cock in, whining when no more would fit inside of her. Gasping out and gritting her teeth she forced herself lower, savoring the sound of him moaning as he pushed against her, letting her have what she wanted. Finally she was fully down on his cock, his balls twitching just a bit against her slit as she rolled her hips to stretch internally, to get adjusted to his member, letting her insides mold to his lovely cock.
Adjusting, leaning against her lover, she began to move her hips slowly, rocking them back and forth to grind against him, bouncing up and down just a bit upon that cock that she had so desired. Gaxx in the meantime was leaning in to bite at her shoulder, shivering just a bit as he did so, his loving nips moving up to her neck and eventually her ears, causing her to let out a cute little squeak. Whimpering she turned her head away, embarrassed even in this state to have someone toy with her ears, but his more dominant side had kicked in, he bit on to her ear gently and tugged causing her entire body to shiver, her back to arch as her ear was bitten. Moaning out she began moving her hips faster, the small pain she felt turning into pure pleasure as she worked to get both of themselves off. So badly did she want to feel his full warmth inside of her, it didn't matter to her if there was a risk, his cum was what she wanted, his cum was what she would get, and so she worked harder, rolling her hips and slamming down as she began bouncing faster.
Gaxx himself could barely contain himself, seeing now that she had begun to ride him so quickly, he began thrusting to her firmly, gripping on to her hips to pull and tug her every time she came down upon his cock, thrusting hard against her. He breathed out, groaning in sync with her moans, his claws digging in to her hips just a bit as he thrust in, his cock smearing pre inside of her as he thrust in. He could feel himself close, his body began to shake, he didn't want to ruin her life, to impregnate her without her consent and so he whined, "Gexxi, I should pull out, we--" he tried, but his lips were covered by hers, his hands were taken by hers and she held them, her fingers lacing around his, her toes curling as she rode her lover, lips locked with his.
Again and again she pushed down upon his cock, wanting him to let go of his worries for one moment and lose himself inside of her. Certainly he did. Soon enough his lips were confident against hers, his tongue returning to licking at her lips, begging for entrance into her mouth before finally receiving it, their tongues twisting and wrapping around one another. They only finally pulled their lips away when Gaxx began thrusting desperately inside of her, his cock twitching throbbing so much. She gasped and groaned out with each thrust and squealed as she felt her own climax mount, her eyes shutting tight as she whimpered and panted coming off of her orgasm, but she didn't have time to rest. Gaxx thrust in deep inside of her twice more before suddenly her insides began filling with thick warm substance. His seed painted her inner walls and she could feel the thick stuff going deeper and deeper inside of her. The risk of getting pregnant was there, so real, but she didn't care. She loved him, she loved his semen inside of her, and she would never forget this night. Her eyes shutting she laid her head against his chest, panting, sweating, sleep soon taking her. Gaxx breathed out heavily, his hand resting upon her back, his head on the wall of the tunnel, looking up at the ceiling, what a strange turn of events.
Waking up was sticky and silent. They both blushed and turned away from one another, scrambling for their clothing, albeit a bit slowly since both of their bodies were still quite sore, perhaps even more so from their night of fucking. Unable to tell what time it was, they clothed themselves and began walking, Gaxx offering Gexxi a ride upon his back. Without a word she took his offer, her eyes never looking towards him. They began their trek then outside of the tunnels and as Gaxx had predicted, there were many emergency routes, even some metal rungs leading to the surface. With one of those paths they had found an exit out into the snowy landscape. The sun burning both of their eyes. Both sighing in relief they began their trek to the nearest safe encampment. It would be a bit before they got there, but at least they were home free.
Gexxi was the first to break the silence, clearing he throat before speaking, "I...last night, was for simply warmth I hope you know. I...I appreciate it though, I appreciate it so much that I'll be paying you double...double to never leave my side you got it?"
Gaxx's cheeks flushed red upon remembering their night and he continued treading on responding quickly, "Certainly Gexxi. It was certainly a warm night between the two of us and that is all I'm sure. I ah...no need for double pay. I enjoy my job after all."
So here they were, the two of them not yet ready to admit their emotions after a passionate night, but still, Gexxi had learned she could never bear to live without her companion, and she would always remember that. Someday she would tell him without the need of danger involved, someday she would have him as her lover. She just hoped that she wouldn't need to ever see him go. Nothing would ever get in their way, especially if she had anything to say about it, especially not death. Death would take her before she would allow it to take Gaxx and leave her alone, or so she hoped.
