Reprieve of her Radiant Depths

Kagero could feel his body floating in the dark abyss that was his goddess' bowels, the soft flesh throbbing and rubbing against his naked skin. All around his form, rippled satin walls compressed around him to hold his body in place while a steady heartbeat of a drum pulsed in his ear. While the flesh constricted around him, he found that he could barely tell which way was up and which way was down, all he knew for certain was that he was being hugged as tightly as he ever had been before.

The tightness of the walls that held him in place also kept his arms folded up on his chest, with his member firm and wedged tight between two soft folds as it poked out from his torso. That felt good, but his mind was fading fast into a dreamlike state and he was unable to concentrate on his arousal. To him, the world was just a cloud around him, keeping him both cozy and damp from head to toes.

As his mind drifted in and out of lucidity, he found himself bombarded by wisps of images and sensations that seemed alien to him, only to then be pulled from those hallucinations by the sensation of muscles squeezing his ankles. If not for the fluid that was being sucked into his lungs with every breath, he could have relaxed more, treat Ceylon's bowels like a tight sleeping bag of slick flesh; instead, he was finding that just breathing was laborious and exhausting.

In one last-ditch effort to resist his fatigue, he extended both of his arms out straight, pushing deep into the pillows of flesh that surrounded him, only to have the walls clench and resist, forcing him to relax with his arms folded on his chest. That was what made him realize that he wasn't really fit or strong enough to resist the rhythmic pulsations around him.

Eventually, he felt his mass shift within the tunnel of inner flesh as the muscles clenched him and waved their way up his body. Suddenly, he felt a bend in the intestine wrap around his head, forcing him to twist and curl his neck followed by the rest of his body. Each and every lump of inward facing velvet-smooth flesh pressed against him, undulating in waves to 'swallow' him through the twisting, winding passage of Ceylon's large intestine.

Kagero felt a little awkward trying to map out his passage amidst his fading mind, preferring to simply refer to his goddess' innards as his temporary home, but he couldn't help himself from focusing on every bit of her that touched him. He even noticed when the guts around him grew tighter, the texture changing from silken and smooth to rippled and wrinkled.

He was about to nuzzle into the walls when he got an image flashing through his mind, one of snowy trees skimming by underneath him, with the light mist of a waterfall billowing up around his body. This flash lasted only a split second, but it was crystal clear, as if he were falling sideways.

Another slow inhalation filled his lungs with the fluid that was being secreted by Ceylon's bowels, and he was able to once again concentrate on slipping his hands upwards in a diving motion, eager to slide a little deeper into her. Ahead of him, he felt another tight bend, but his body's motion stretched it out and flattened it, while the tube simply moved around him, at least until yet another flash erupted in his mind, this one lasting longer.

More trees, a cabin, and a lake whipped by underneath him, but this time everything was so much farther away, and a whipping sound could be heard whooshing in his ears. The view alternated between looking down at the ground far below him and forward as his beak sliced through the mist and clouds of the night.

Beak? That couldn't be right, Kagero had no beak! He had only a nose, like any other human! As he tried to concentrate on his proboscis that protruded from his face, the vision went away again, leaving him in dead dark silence with only the gurgle of a nearby belly and the steady throbbing of a heartbeat surrounding him.

Frustrated, he pulled his arms back down and curled up in the fetal position, knees up to his chest and arms squeezed tight to his neck; he was trying to return to that vision, but instead he just found himself unable to stay awake another moment. His adrenaline from the sudden change in perspective had died down, and he just wanted to sleep as that flesh shifted and twitched in waves around him, pushing him backwards tot he more roomy area so he could sleep more comfortably.

His dreams were quite different from what he would normally have encountered, as a mix of memories from his time in the snow with Ceylon and a series of weird non-sequitur 'scenes' that had him in a litany of peculiar settings, each broken up by another elongated power nap, where his mind shut itself off and he nuzzled up into the soft pillows that cradled him.

The first of the many scenes was one of him standing tall at eye height to Palusa -strange since she was far taller than he - and she seemed to be in awe at his presence. He couldn't hear a word she said, but she seemed to be so happy to see him. This scene ended quickly, to follow with another period of him being in darkness, smothered by a moist blanket and wrapped up tight like a person-burrito.

Once again, he was treated to another image soon thereafter, as he was standing tall on a cliff, overlooking a vast city in the distance below him with wind whipping his feathers and chilling his beak. Again, a beak parted his vision, and he had a very hard time ignoring it. This scene was immediately followed up with another, but this one of the shallow slope of a mountain's foothills rushing by underneath him, getting farther and farther away. This vision ended with a sudden switch to black, like he'd fallen into the ground or hit a tree.

More sudden darkness, more cuddly nap time, then more random scenes followed in quick succession, including a conversation with a dragon, overlooking a valley, squatting next to a gently trickling stream, and finally one of a massive, wide-mouthed waterfall crashing down below him into a great lake with a valley cradled by two mountain ranges on either side.

This last vision seemed to remain in his mind's eye for an extended period of time, as he watched the mountains and valley rush into him, filling his vision even as the river and waterfall crashed around him. The angle of sight glanced up to show a lodge carved into the side of the tallest mountain, about halfway up its slope between the valley and peak. From it, a twisting, winding series of steps down into a small village in the foothills surrounded by blue-tinged trees.

As he watched, his vessel flew its way closer and closer to this mountain lodge, eventually coming to land daintily on an outstretched portion of the deck that was extended far away from the rest of the lodge and high above the slope of the mountain. Nearby, he could see a waterfall crashing down nearby behind the lodge, filling a pool that subsequently trickled into an actual stream.

That was when everything went dark again, and he felt the light contractions and tension building in the flesh around him as legs and abdominal walls contracted, squeezing him in place and lightly pushing him backwards, feet first as he slid through the winding guts.

Before he as able to fully comprehend what was happening, he felt the shock of cold air on his soaking wet feet as a tight ring of flesh slid over his ankles and up his calves. He could hear a guttural whoosh and gurgle as the walls around him loosened and opened up, filling in the space between he and his gryphon's bowels with cold air that coaxed a wave of goosebumps and raised hairs all over him from head to toe before he was dumped into a tub of warm water.

Instantly, he woke up while flailing his arms about and gasping for air, the water washing off the thin slime from his body with ease and carrying it into the stream that trickled over the side of the pool. He blinked and opened his mouth, adjusting to the midday sun as his pupils constricted. Though disoriented, he was able to splash his face off to clear the lubricant from his body.

All around him, the clear water steamed lightly, the coziness of the heat urging him to crouch down so that only his head was above the water's surface. He coughed, clearing his lungs of the last of the fluids from inside as a tiny little globule bounced and bobbed in the water towards the waterfall. As he looked up, an image of Ceylon's backside came into focus amidst the billowing steam, her black velvet rump hole and pussy lips soaking wet while her cherry pink vaginal slit sliced through the ebony vulva.

Kagero's lips watered as he imagined pushing himself up out of the water to massage and caress that plump flesh, returning to her depths once more. Sadly, he was too comfortable in the hot water to want to go out, even if it did mean being back within his new mother. His mouth opened to speak, when he saw Ceylon peeking at him over her shoulder, smiling back at him.

“I hope you had a safe flight." She cooed at him with a gaped-beak smile. “And I hope the transition from one warm and cozy place to another wasn't too jarring."

“N-no it was good, m-" A fuzzy feeling tickled his throat as he went to speak, which he felt the need to cough up and clear away before he continued. The few seconds of extra time allowed him to rethink his words. “It was heavenly, my goddess."

Ceylon turned and repositioned herself to be laying flat on her belly next to the pool on the deck that partially wrapped around it, front talons drooping into the pool. “I'm glad to hear that, my dear. Though I have virtually limitless power, I've still not found a way to release my babies without also putting them through some temporarily unpleasant situation like accidentally inhaling water or being exposed to cold air."

Kagero nodded enthusiastically. “Yes, I appreciate that you are trying and, and, and...." He paused, finding himself unable to contain his excitement despite trying his best to keep within the warmth of the water. Eventually, he composed himself and changed the subject. “I, uh, am curious mama, where are we, exactly? Is this...is this your home? Am I really in the Cradle of Dalon?"

“Yes, my dear. You are. This is my home, my sacred grounds." She glanced out over the valley, urging Kagero to look with her. “Everything in this valley is sacred, the property of myself and the eleven others who live here. Those in the terrestrial lands are not welcome, usually, and you will be heavily monitored during your stay, not by me but by the others. I trust you, I know that you are respectful of myself and the rest of us, but that doesn't mean Keran or Satsierra will trust you as I do."

“Mmhmm!" Kagero acknowledged, not in the least but offended or bothered by the fact that the residents of this hallowed ground would be keeping a close eye on him. All that mattered to him was that he was welcome here, and that he was with his goddess. “You can trust me, mama. I would never do anything to hurt you or disappoint you."

“I know that, and I trust you would never lie. Anyway, as it stands right now, the intention is to have you here for a full week, and you'll have access to anything you wish to do while you're here, including meeting the rest of us. I'm not one to presume any particular desires on your behalf, but I imagine that such a vacation and reward would include at least some intimacy, so just make sure you talk to me before initiating anything with the others. Except maybe Talba; she'll probably love to have you for a fun time." She giggled a bit, smiling as her tail swished out behind her. “If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Leera and myself are both here in the lodge, so don't be shy."

He gulped heavily, nodding with enthusiasm but held back by a bit of bashfulness. This was so surreal to him, finally being accepted into the land of the gods he'd been revering for so long. His entire life was dedicated to learning about the divines, all twelve of them, and that personal quest had taken him to ruins and temples all over the world, hidden in jungles and buried under solidified magma or frozen in perpetually iced lakes and rivers. This was something else.

There were so many questions to ask, so many things to clarify, and so many things he wanted to do, but his mind got distracted for a fraction of a second as his belly rumbled. “I could use something to eat, if that's okay with you?"

Ceylon nodded slowly with a smile, her fluffy body expanding as her feathers stood on end. “That I can do for you, anything you want in particular? My fridge is not particularly well stocked at the moment, but I can do my best." She got up on all fours as her tail maw reached out to grab at the handle for a nearby bag to gently place it next to the warm-water pool. “And this is your clothes and a towel, I managed to also get some of your belongings from that gryphoness mare that you had with you at the cabin. She seemed excited to meet me."

“P-palusa? You spoke with her?" He blushed lightly, his memories returning to that brief period while he was inside Ceylon to recall that quick scene at the cottage with Palusa, looking at him with reverence. That's when it struck him what had happened during his little naps. “Wait, I saw you speak with her, how did-"

He was cut off by Ceylon's gentle purr and nudge as she leaned over from the deck to rake her beak through his hair and beard, preening him. “You saw that, did you? I figured you might be attuned enough with me to see through my eyes." She winked at him with her steely blue eyes and turned, leaving him with questions but no answers.

Kagero raised a hand to speak up to her, eager to ask questions about what that meant and what it could mean to him, but was easily transfixed by the image of the gryphon goddess walking away, hips swaying and tail raised up to show him the soaking black flesh of her pussy and rump, a perfect view to wake both he and his loins from their state of shrivilege.

Instead, he sat there in the warm water, head poking out above the side of the pool to get a proper look at the world around him. Once Ceylon had disappeared into the lodge that was apparently her home, Kagero was able to get another extended look down into the valley, barely able to make out the details of the Cradle of Dalon. If nothing else, he'd love to keep this memory for later, as it would potentially be a great boon for his research.

Or just a nice memory of time spent with his goddess. It didn't matter.

In the distance and across the valley, nestled between the foothills of the opposing mountain range, he could see an ebony-stone castle with red shingles and what looked like gold. Around it, a dozen open plains with farmed goods and farm animals. At least, that was what he thought he saw, given the distance between his location and it, which could have been thirty kilometers or more!

Then, closer to him and poking out of the blue-tinged forest came a massive tree that stood, maybe, 250 meters out above the rest of the bush, with an elaborate building cleverly incorporated between the branches. Again, it was so far away he was having a difficult time making out the subtle details of the building, but it was clearly the most elaborate tree fort he'd ever seen, with multiple levels, dozens of rooms each with their own porches, and a complicated series of walkways and pathways connecting each one.

In the middle of the valley, surrounded by plains and forests, was a massive lake that shimmered in the midday sun, with a dozen tiny rivers feeding into it and two rivers feeding from it that intertwined, branched out, and eventually formed a delta before each of the dozens of tributaries cascaded over the cliff that poured into Lake Saff'Rald.

At least, that's what he seemed to remember based off his knowledge of the holy land. Kagero had spent many years studying this region, and he was pretty confident he knew exactly where he was and what direction he was facing. This allowed him to orient himself just in time to see Ceylon come out from her home with a silver platter hovering out on front of her with a well-sliced roast on it.

“Here, I didn't know what you liked so I quickly cooked you up something nice." She winked and let the hovering platter gently situate itself next to the pool. On it, Kagero got a better view of the vegetables and onions and peppers and other bits that were also there. A veritable feast.

Of course, this fully cooked meal did bring up questions in Kagero's mind. Far as he could tell, he'd only been waiting for her a few minutes yet she'd cooked up a meal for him that would – should – have taken at least an hour. He wanted to question how that could be, but he ended up dismissing his own queries, eager to attribute it to some sort of hypnosis or goddess magic. Either way, he was happy to focus on the food itself instead of distracting himself with the details of its preparation. It smelled good, it looked good, and he trusted Ceylon, so he wasn't going to prod farther. “Th-thank you, mama." He complimented her, before reaching out and grabbing the first slice from the roast and biting it.

Tasted good, too.

“You're very welcome. Please do eat as much as you'd like, I have some quick cleaning to do in the kitchen, and you are free to go ahead and get dressed at your own will. I don't expect you to, but you can go nude as well. I bet it'd be a little cold, though." She winked and leaned back on her haunches, raising a leg to lick at her plump rump hole, cleaning the leaking opening of the lubrication that Kagero's passing had left there. After a few well-controlled licks, she got back up and shook off, returning to her lodge home.

He kept chewing on the succulent beef as he felt his member grow firm beneath the warm water's surface, the image of Ceylon washing herself an arousing one. He wanted to get up, to dry off and join her, but he was feeling the slightest bit embarrassed and shy, not wanting to let her see that he'd grown excited in her presence. Plus, the water was warm and the air cold.

Once she was gone, Kagero did hop out of the warm water to quickly grab at his towel, hoping to dry himself off. His member was stiff and throbbing, with bits of water dripping off the end of it as he patted his skin down. Once dry, he found that the light breeze was chilling him to the bone, so he grabbed the pile of clothes next to the pool and reluctantly hopped into his shorts and underwear. He stood tall, bare chested with a grin on his face as he got a good look over the valley, the moist earthy smell of spring tickling his nostrils.

This was the life.

“Long time no see." A voice hissed from in the lodge.

Kagero jumped and turned to see that it was Leera, gently slithering her way towards him over the wood patio. The girth of her body flattened against the deck, pushing furniture to the side. This time he was somewhat surprised to see that her scales had changed color, from the green, red, and blue that he knew her as to a more earthy brown and yellow. “Oh, hi!" He smiled at her, his memories of their last encounter bubbling up in the back of his mind.

She slid up next to him and raised her head to be at his height, looking out over the valley with him. Her skull was about as big as his entire torso, which made Kagero's mind automatically drift to thoughts of being her meal. “It's quite pretty, isn't it? The valley, I mean. Untouched by the hands of the terrestrial agens. We've kept it this way for hundreds of years and will continue to protect this land for hundreds more, so be respectful."

Her words were stern, which made Kagero feel a little self-conscious. Had he done something wrong to make her confidence in him waver? No, she was just being protective of this land.

“I promise I will be respectful of this place. The, uh, Valley of the Gods, we call it."

“I know what you call it, dear. We titled it nearly a millenia ago. Anyway, just enjoy yourself, but please be respectful. I know I don't have to tell you what it would mean to fail this." She leaned in for a gentle nudge at his hand before sliding past him, the many bumps of her scales tickling his fingertips as she curled up under the deck, presumably returning to her hiding spot. Ceylon had said that Leera preferred the solitude of being alone in her den.

Kagero nodded and took in another deep breath before smiling and looking out over the valley again, happy to just relax and absorb the view as thoroughly as he could. That didn't last long, as Ceylon returned from the lodge to join him, standing tall above his form and looking out over the valley. She glanced sidelong down at him gently nodding.

“So, are you ready?" She asked, lightly preening her feathers as she spoke.

“Ready for what?" Kagero scratched his head, confused.

Ceylon pushed her wing out to lightly tease him. “To go meet some of the others. Your time is limited here, and I want you to meet as many of us as you can. Think of it as a gift from us to our devout follower."

“Oh, Th-thank you, Ceylon." He blushed and fidgeted a bit, hiding his face from his Goddess. “B-but I wasn't planning on going out, not yet. I wanted to spend some time here with you. I don't know how long you will bless me with your presence here, but I want to spend as much time with you as I can."

“And I am happy to indulge you, my dear." Ceylon assured him as she gave a gentle bow followed by a light trill and purr. “But I do know that the king and queen will be returning to the terrestrial world first thing in the morning, and if you wish to see them on this visit, you really should go now. If you're certain you don't want to take a quick visit to the castle, then I can keep you here if-"

Kagero nervously interrupted. “Oh, I guess, uh, if that's the case, I would hate to miss out on an opportunity to acquaint myself with them. I-if you think it's best to go see them now, I will happily go with you." He nodded and glanced back over to his clothes, debating on if he wanted to remain nude or get warm. A light chilly breeze convinced him it would likely be better to cover up, at least this time. “When are we leaving?"

Ceylon shuffled from side to side and crouched down onto her belly, wings spread and body as flat to the deck as she could go. “As soon as you're dressed, if you'd like. Whenever you're ready."

He nodded. “Okay. Okay. Sounds like a lot of fun. What are the plans?"

“That's up to you, dear. Now, hop on and let's get a move on. Wanna catch them before sundown. I bet we can stay in the castle overnight so you don't have to come all the way back up here on my back again."

As he walked by, Kagero tried his best to get a look under Ceylon's tail, where he could see the glistening flesh of her pussy and rump hole both. Unfortunately, the angle was a bit too steep, so he saw only the faintest slit between her tail and rump cheek before sidling up next to her to prepare to mount. “Are you sure it wouldn't be easier – and warmer – for me to ride in you instead of on you?"

She chirped and trilled a bit with a gape-grin smile. “Well, for you I'm sure it would. Problem is, I need a day or so to replenish the fluids within me that allow such a thing. If I was to stuff you somewhere right now, it might not be all that safe and I have no intention of harming you, okay?"

Kagero gulped and nodded, not wanting to think about what that might entail. “O-okay, then. Yeah, that makes sense." He nodded and leaned over to bury his hands in the feathers of her scruff, getting a good grip before hopping on and straddling her back with his legs curled up under her wings. He immediately came to realize that Ceylon was incredibly warm, especially under those wings. “Is this good, Mama?"

“Yes. Now hold on!" She stood up and hopped forth from the deck, spreading her wings and diving down past the slope of the mountain beneath her. Kagero was barely able to hold on, but quickly grasped at her feathers and fur to hug her neck as the gryphon's many muscles and limbs pushed her forth over the valley.

The wind whipped his hair and coaxed tears from the corner of his eyes, so he had to close them and nuzzle into the gryphon's plumage in order to protect himself from the elements. This lasted for what seemed like hours but was really about twenty five minutes as Ceylon flapped and glided high in the air over the valley, eventually coming to rest in the courtyard of the black-stoned castle on the other side of the Cradle.

Kagero tentatively pushed himself up and away from Ceylon's back, blinking gently to clear his eye while glancing around to get a proper look at his surroundings.

The castle that surrounded them was virtually identical to the one in Arrenthen, with the same layout, same vegetation in the courtyard, same colored bricks, and the same overall look and feel. Only difference was that this castle was empty and wasn't surrounded by a seven meter tall wall meant to keep out attackers. No servants, no royal guardsmen, no nobles, and no commoners milling about to find things to do. Just empty.

“Echo!" He called out, only to have his voice get swallowed up in the mountains that surrounded the castle.

A second later, the twin red-wood doors swung open from the front of the castle, revealing an utterly massive (and naked) Queen Talba and King Vaulix both standing in the doorway under the arches. Behind them, the sun shone in through the stained glass window that depicted them embracing with a massive blue tree behind them. Kagero was familiar with both of the gods, as Talba was a three-and-a-half meter tall wingless hippogryph with fur and feathers both of peach, gold, brown, and cream colors, while Vaulix was a mostly green and yellow cockatrice with wings that had hints of black and a half dozen other colors, a full head and shoulders shorter than Talba.

Both kept a boastful and bombastic pose to show off before Talba hopped down from the steps to meet up with Ceylon and Kagero. “Well hello there my friend! Is this the Kagero I've heard so much about?" Talba chirped as she leaned in and gave him a gentle rub on the cheek. “You didn't tell me he was so dashing!"

Kagero blushed and slid down off Ceylon to partially hide in her plumage; he didn't like the idea of being bashful or cute, but this was an actual goddess calling him cute, one he'd never met before, and the situation left him mute and nervous. The thought that words would get around regarding him made his knees weak and his heart melt, two instincts he had to hold back as he peeked out from behind to see the queen-goddess smiling down at him. Behind her, Vaulix lightly padded his way down with his wings tightly folded on his back.

“I also wasn't expecting him to be so cutely nervous. I thought you said that you'd spent a few days with him in the past?" Talba asked Ceylon, laughing a bit at the situation.

Ceylon extended her wing to wrap around Kagero, holding him tight to her side. “I have. He's fine, just kind of shy is all. His reverence manifests in ways I find odd, but it's also sort of endearing."

Vaulix stepped up next to Talba, taking her hand and giving it a squeeze as he smiled at Kagero. “Now now, Talba, you know who you are. Don't act so surprised when one of our worshipers is nervous around us. I'm sure if he even knows a tenth of our history he has every reason to be tentative with us." He leaned in close to Kagero, extending his talon. “Come on, mate. We're just normal people like you, no need to be starstruck."

There was an awkward moment of hesitation before Kagero extended his hand, like a child giving trust to a distant relative. “Okay, but I want you to know that this is all quite surreal to me. I'm not sure if I should bow to you or kiss your feet or avert my eyes, my Lord."

Ceylon pulled her wing from around Kagero before stepping aside to join with Talba and Vaulix. “You will find that, as long as you're here in the Cradle of Dalon, you can just be yourself. For the duration of your stay, you are welcome and in equal company. I know that, down there, we have to maintain an air of divinity and regality, but up here we're just normal people like you or your friend Palusa."

Talba elbowed Ceylon in the shoulder. “Who's Palusa? Name sounds familiar."

“Palusa's a friend of Kagero's, looks an awful lot like me. I think that's why our human friend here gravitated towards her."

“Oh. Yeah that makes sense." Talba acknowledged. She then turned and waved Kagero to follow her as she disappeared into the castle. “Anyway, I'm hungry, we've got a feast ready for you if you so chose to join us. Oh and don't be so nervous, we're your friends here."

Vaulix added to her statement. “Yeah, the nervous cute thing is fine, but we've got limited time before we depart, and I'm sure you want to ask a lot of questions about how we got here, what we're doing, and various other stuff. Don't hold back, and no question is too taboo. Worst thing we can do is not answer." He turned and followed Talba, leaving Kagero and Ceylon at the front gates of the castle.

“G-gosh, they're both much nicer than I would have expected." Kagero admitted, still trying to hide a blush. “Why are they being so kind to little old me?"

“There are many reasons for that, Kagero. Many of which I'd be happy to explain to you over dinner; I know you had a bit of roast up at the lodge, but I'm very hungry and I could use a belly full of-"

“Me!" Kagero cheered with a broad smile.

In response, Ceylon shook her head and rolled her eyes. “No, dear. Real food. Stuff I can digest for energy. Told you I'd never do that. Anyway, come on and lets go get some real food, Vaulix has learned a lot about cooking in his many lives, almost as much as me."

Kagero had to hide a blush as he followed Ceylon into the castle, keeping as close to the gryphon goddess as he could. “Well, okay. Just, please make sure they don't get angry at me, give me a warning or something if I'm asking something I shouldn't."

“Won't be a problem, hun. Talba is remarkably open about virtually everything, and would have no shame in answering questions." The two of them made their way in past the thrones, up to the balcony on the right and down a hallway that led to the queen's chambers. Kagero knew this was where they were because there was a royal bed with a canopy draped by gold-linens as well as ,a series of dressers and mirrors along the walls.

There, Talba was waiting for them next to a six-person table adorned with a full meal's worth of steaming and delicious foods. Vaulix was already sitting, munching on some vegetables. The table was quite tall, considering both Talba and Vaulix towered twice as tall as Kagero, and Ceylon was equally as big but quadruped.

The nearest chair had little steps leading up to it, which gave Kagero the height and vantage point needed to sit at the table properly, sharing space with the three Gods. “So I guess this is it, isn't it?" He joked. “Who's eating me?"

“Heh, cute." Talba chuckled as she sat down opposite him. As she pulled in her chair, she leaned in over the dozen cloches and smiled at Kagero, her vibrant green eyes piercing the light of the room. “Ceylon told me you were into that kind of stuff, and much as I'd love to play with my food, we've just got the basics here." She winked as each of the cloche domes were plucked by an invisible force, revealing a banquet of various foods on the tables.

Piles of steak, chicken, and shrimp each had their own platter, while there were bowls of broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms, rice, noodles, sauces, and various other tasty treats all steaming in billowing clouds before him.

“We didn't know for sure what you wanted, so we intend to let you pick and chose between a veritable buffet of food. Plus, we need to fill our bellies before we depart for the Terrestrial world, so whatever you don't eat, we will. Eat up!" Vaulix explained, as he stabbed his fork into one of the massive steaks, tiny bits of juice spreading out from the piece of meat on the plate.

Kagero didn't know what he wanted either, so he politely asked Ceylon to grab him a bit of everything, that way he could taste it all and eat what he could. Given the discrepancy between his size and the size of the table – which was made for giants compared to him – he couldn't exactly reach over and grab what he wanted. Had he just got up and walked over to the food he wanted, he would have felt that to be very rude.

Once he had his plate, he smiled and glanced around the room, catching the gaze of Vaulix, Talba, and Ceylon in sequence before composing his thoughts. He had many questions for the Dalonian Gods, but his mind was quickly and abruptly distracted as he got to thinking about just what Talba and Vaulix looked like between the legs, and what it would be like to smother his face in there, eventually diving in and curling up in one of them. Is that what Ceylon was pushing for when she said to ask for anything?

If so, Kagero was sure to find himself quite excited before the end of the meal. Instead, he composed himself, took a bite, and decided to convey as much confidence as he could while probing their minds to find out more about his work. As an archaeologist, it was an immensely rare and valuable treat to be blessed with the presence of the beings responsible for his life's work, yet he just couldn't keep his mind off imagining what each of their wombs felt like. What was the texture like? How did they differ? Would Vaulix be colder than Talba or Ceylon since they were part reptile?

Part of him felt a little guilty, but that didn't stop him from enjoying his meal and indulging his curiosities. Naturally, he asked dozens of questions over the course of his filling meal, asking about their history, what the did in their time between lives, how many lives each of them had lived, and how they were 'reborn' every time. That answer was quite interesting to Kagero.

Talba was the one to explain it. “Well, we have our magic that allows us to alter our shape and form at will, which we can thank Ceylon for." She started by extending her talon to the gryphon goddess that had brought Kagero. “It wasn't until the second era was coming to a close that we realized that we would need to find a way to integrate into society."

Valux poked in between bites of poultry. “At first we just reverted ourselves to a prepubescent age and interjected our lives into some hapless family, masquerading as homeless children or animals looking for a home, but that didn't work very long. We each got, what, two attempted lives out of that. Didn't work. Our next option – the one I still feel bad about today – was to simply morph into the likeness of an existing person's child after absorbing their memories thanks to Valencia's telepathic abilities." He held his head low and sighed.

“What did you do with the people you were replacing?" Asked Kagero, despite knowing the answer.

Talba grabbed Vaulix's hand and gave it a squeeze. “We had to kill them. Once we'd taken over their lives, there was no reason or way we could risk having them alive. We had ascended to be revered as gods, so at that time we weren't exactly too worried about the life of agens below us."

“Once the second era had come to a close and we'd fully disappeared from public view, opting to let our legends fade into myth, we opted to just not live normal lives." Ceylon interjected. “We spent much of our time up here, keeping up the massive enchantments that made exploration in the Cradle of Dalon so difficult. However, Life gets boring after a decade living with the same twelve people, even if we did have virtually limitless power to experiment with our magic."

“That's when Ceylon here got the idea to emulate being reborn for real." Talba continued. “The plan was to find expectant mothers, cast a spell on them, use magics to revert our bodies to infancy, and then use a spell on the mother's womb to allow one of us inside her safely. In order to create that alteration, Ceylon combined Leera's natural digestive cycle with the fluids associated with childbirth and egg-rearing into one synthetic slime that would eventually allow for safe and comfortable unbirthing. That's what we call it, and I guess now you guys use it as a fetish down in Klyneth."

“At first it was meant simply for the rebirth process since we needed to have a way to make new lives for ourselves without taking the life of another, but it quickly became something we did to each other for fun, too." Vaulix said with a grin. “I usually stick to the more traditional pleasantries in life, but I admit I love fooling around with a tiny Talba in me somewhere. Or, if I'm feeling adventurous, maybe I curl up in Talba, to be reborn in an egg!"

Kagero paused, and had stopped eating his meal entirely. He was simply smiling at the king and queen, now fully imagining Vaulix's cloaca and Talba's slit. Of course, there was some will to hold off, and to not let this conversation veer off into lewd territory since he wanted to convey the idea that he wasn't just here as an eternally horny human looking for physical affection and comfort from the divine beings that were hosting him, but he couldn't help it.

As he struggled internally, Ceylon grabbed a towel from the table and wiped her beak clean of some of the sauce that had come with her meal. There was a wide smile on her beak as though she were setting Kagero up for a prank that he'd expertly fallen for. “Well, dinner was lovely Vaulix, so thank you. I'll just head out for a bit, and I'll see you in an hour or so?" She bowed and backed out of the room, leaving Kagero with the two others.

He gulped heavily, still not sure what to say.

“What a cutie." Talba said to Vaulix, raising one ear and grinning. Her bright green eye started to glow, the pupil widening to pierce a hole through Kagero.

“Indeed he is." Agreed Vaulix as he looked back at Talba. “His thoughts are quite lewd, yet he's tried so very hard to keep them to himself. Admirable, really."

Talba turned to look at Kagero as her massive foot talon crept up the front of his chair, two toes squeezing his member through his shorts. “Now that Ceylon is gone, we can drop the pretense. We know why you're here, Kagero. There's no need to play coy or hide yourself." Her claws tugged at his belt, urging him to do something about it. “Ceylon informed us you'd be coming to visit, and she told us all about your affections, so why don't you get naked and let us have some fun with you?"

“If you say so." He said in a monotone voice, mind racing at a million miles an hour. This was almost too much too fast for him; sure, he wanted exactly what they were offering, but he hadn't prepared for this, not yet. Kagero's intentions went as far as having a pleasant conversation with two eternal beings over a nice meal, anything else was a mere fantasy in his mind. Of course, every second he spent in the Cradle of Dalon was a fantasy come true, so it would be easy to anticipate having his mind blown time after time. “What do you want me to do?"

Talba stood tall, pushing her seat back away from the table. “Whatever makes you happiest, Kagero." She stepped around the table to lean next to him, pulling his chair back to expose the erection-shaped bulge in his shorts. As she looked down, she licked her beak and used one finger to deftly undo his belt, followed by some magic that pulled his shorts down to expose his naked form. She also eased his button-up khaki shirt off his upper torso, leaving him completely naked sans his boots.

“I-I just want to please my goddesses, how can I do that?" He asked, trying to cross his legs and cover up his erection.

“Well, follow my lead." She said, glancing over to Vaulix and chirping before leaning in to pluck Kagero from his chair. With only a few powerful actions, she was able to sling him over her shoulder and take the few steps needed to rest him down on her bed, her fluffy chest hovering over him as he flopped onto his back and she leaned over him using her hands to keep herself up.

During the trip over, Kagero had felt his member get caressed by Talba's fluffy chest, her feathers tickling and caressing his length as beads of precum gummed her up. This didn't bother him much, since the sensation of her velvety blanket smothering him gave him a good idea of what was in store. As he lay on her bed, staring up into Talba's glistening emerald eyes, he reached out to caress her beak and was denied when she stood up straight.

“No need to be cuddly, darling." She kindly chastised. “I have a much better idea for you. Come on." She crawled up onto the bed next to him followed by Vaulix, with the two of them each curling up on the bed next to each other and an open space between them. Vaulix's wings fluttered and Talba patted the bed, urging Kagero to join them. “Come join us, will you?"

“Yes, my queen." He obeyed, rolling over onto all fours so he could crawl over the bedsheets to lay down between them. “Like this?"

Talba wrapped her hand around his hip and pulled him onto her as he flopped onto her back, planting him over her hips with his legs straddling hers. Given their difference in size, Kagero found the stance a little wide for him, so he squirmed and tried to get a better feel before settling on one place. “More like this, Kagero. It's been so very long since I was with a human, think you could do me that honor?"

By this point, Kagero's heart was fluttering like a hummingbird, his adrenaline surging through his body to make every square inch on his body tingle in delight. “You mean, like, me in you?"

She giggled. “Part of you, anyway." Her hips pushed up into him as she kept him in place with her powerful hands around her waist. “Doesn't need to be all of you, but I'd love to see what it feels like. Please, do indulge me."

Though he had been a little overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events once Ceylon had left the room, Kagero had finally worked up the courage and confidence to act with assurance. He gave up on his bashful gulping and shaking, and instead slid his way backwards over Talba's legs to squat in between her knees, eyes staring into hers the whole time. “I'd be happy to indulge you, my queen." He courted her, as he forced her legs apart.

Before him, her plump peach-colored, glistening velvet vulva winked, exposing the deep red of her inner flesh, a warm sweet fragrance emanating from her loins. She was about as ready as she could be, so Kagero leaned down and gently kissed at her clitoris, which was the size of his fist. He gave it a gentle suckle and tug before closing his eyes and slipping his tongue in between her folds to taste her.

“See? That's what I'm talking about!" Talba purred at him as she parted her legs farther and rested her hands on her inner thighs. Her thumbs squeezed at either side of her clit, which folded out her lips and forced the meaty bulge of it to rub against Kagero's nose. “Get right in there!"

Off to the side, Vaulix was watching casually, one hand in between his legs to tease at his own slit. Kagero wasn't sure about Vaulix's gender since he sounded male and acted male, but apparently had a pussy between his legs, as well as no cock to be seen. Had there been cock, and had Vaulix been male, Kagero could not have enjoyed himself as he was, eagerly burrowing into Talba's folds with his lips pecking at hers.

His every kiss was met with a rolling wink of her clit pushing out against his nose, tiny little spurts of her lubricants getting forced out in tiny streams to dribble down his beard. She giggled a bit as she felt his soft facial hair brushing across her vulva, the excitement coaxing a powerful lurch of her spine that squished her pussy lips into Kagero's face, soaking him from forehead to chin.

Rather than act shocked or coy, he leaned back in and shook his head from side to side, rubbing against her silken equine flesh in an attempt to have her lips part and swallow his head. When that didn't happen, he pulled away and shuffled forward, pressing two fingers against her dripping cunny lips to part them amidst a guttural whooshing sound. She had relaxed her muscles, letting her walls expand in preparation for his body, which in turn inflated her depths wide enough to fit at least part of him.

After giving a gentle rub up against and around her clit, Kagero eased his fist into her, gasping gently as he felt her velvet lips gently sliding over the skin of his forearm. Within seconds, he felt her loose folds clamp down around him, squeezing and sucking him in deeper.

Kagero felt his job was to please her, and he could tell from her muscular contractions and copious lubrication that he was doing something right, so he shifted in position with his arm still elbow deep in her pussy to squeeze his fingers in against his forearm, further parting her lips and stretching her flesh to accommodate him. Like before, a deep guttural whoosh came as her walls relaxed and spread apart, sucking in air from around him as he leaned into her, second arm disappearing between her lush pink lips.

Though awkward, He was able to lean down even with his arms both elbow deep inside the queen and pressing down against her tail to suckle on her clit, pulling away with juicy pop sounds a few times before extending his tongue to prod at her opening. There, as he felt his teeth lightly scrape along the juicy flesh, a squirt of her natural lubricants splashed against the roof of his maw, a slimy mess which he eagerly swallowed.

In Kagero's mind, he knew that was actually the same fluid that would sustain him if he dove into her and curled up in the queen's womb, so he was happy to suck it all back and let it fill him, be it through his lungs or belly. His excitement was mounting and his member kept throbbing as it leaked his own gooey mess all over the bed, which in turn urged him to maybe change his pace a bit to keep the mess to a minimum.

Talba's walls clenched tight around both his fists with such intense force and power that he couldn't keep inside her even when pushing back against her contractions. His fists – clasped around each other in a double fist meant to emulate the girth of a stallion flare – burst from her depths in a spray of glorious mare ejaculate that splattered all down his chest. As the liquids trickled down over his belly, he couldn't help but give himself a gentle rub and use some of it to caress his own length, using the lubricant to pleasure himself.

She watched him as he gave himself a bit of a massage, so she curled a finger to urge him to come forward, like she had a plan for him. Maybe she was going to swallow him up now that he was covered in her juices and properly marinated. Maybe she wanted a kiss. Maybe she wanted to cuddle him against her chest.

As he crawled forward over her body, his member slid over her inner thigh and lightly prodded at her soft flesh, which urged her to stop him midway and press her fingers against the small of his back while raising her hips. The motion saw her vulva easily swallow his member right to the base, then get accentuated by an equine wink that squeezed him tight.

By the heat of her flesh and the force of her clench, Kagero found himself ready to burst already, if not for the fact that he was trying to hold back in an attempt to impress the queen, he might have already popped and dropped his load. He clenched his jaw and arched his back, grinding his hips against Talba's even as her loins constricted him, the massive swath of flesh soaking him from belly button to thighs as he slick walls grinded against his member.

In an attempt to please the queen before himself, Kagero shifted to pull out, hand already resting against her inner thighs and ready to pump into her. However, as he moved he felt her talon press against the small of his back, holding him in place with the force only an equine could muster. This kept his cock buried deep within her as he loins winked and squeezed at him in an attempt to coax as much out of him as possible.

“M-my queen, I-"

“Shhhh!" She commanded, pressing a finger to his lips. “Don't go ruining this with your protests. You want to please me, so do it. I want your seed, Kagero. I don't want you to waste the next two hours pumping away at me." She glanced over to Vaulix. “I'm sure if I wanted that, I'd find a way to get it."

Kagero grunted as he felt her cavernous walls squeeze him, the trained muscular waves peeling his skin back to caress the flesh of his knob as her hips gyrated. “But I...I'm better than that!" He protested. There were no words of dishonesty in his voice, as he never had any problems with finishing too soon even when with those he worshiped, yet Talba's pussy seemed so tight, so soft, and so perfectly in control of him that he was having a hard time not finishing within in the first few minutes! “I...would....never...dis...respect...you-" He grunted in between the shallow thrusts that he could do.

Talba cupped his cheeks in each of her hands and forced him to look up at her. When their eyes met, she grinned and winked at him. “I know you wouldn't, Kagero. But I am very hard to disappoint; centuries of life means I have experienced people from every side of the spectrum, and when time is a factor, I care a lot more about your pleasure than mine." She slowly gaped open her beak in a yawn. “And thanks to our empathetic abilities, your pleasure is my pleasure. The only way you could please me is to please yourself on my behalf. So, Kagero, that means the best and quickest way to make me happy is to release yourself to me."

Though he kept lightly grinding, his hips squishing and sliding against her flesh, Kagero found himself slowing down to think about what that meant. Empathetic abilities? Did that mean that she could feel everything he felt? Was she in his head, prodding around to see what turned him n in order to give it to him?

Such concerns didn't matter. Even if she said she wanted him to finish quick, he really didn't feel right without giving her the proper attention a queen deserved. If she could feel his pleasure, she could feel how heavenly her pussy felt squeezing his member tight. If she got off as he got off, then she must have been on the verge of orgasm from the second he felt her warmth envelop him.

His intention was to hold off, pleasure her as deeply and as thoroughly as he could, then finish up before getting out the fist and tongue again, but was distracted as her beak opened above him, exposing the soft flesh of her throat and the long tendril-like tongue of hers as it caressed his chin. She leaned in close, wrapping her beak around either side of his face as her gullet pulsated and gulped at him, like she was trying to swallow him even as her tongue poked at his lips.

Kagero lost it. He couldn't hold on any longer. There was no way he could have held back with his member buried in the queen at one and and his head sliding down her throat at the other.

In one aggressive thrust, he pressed his hips as tight to hers as he could go, grinding lightly as he leaned into her open beak and curled his toes. He grabbed at her hips with his hands, forcing her thighs to lean against his in an attempt to get as much skin-on-fur contact s he could. HE could feel his own cock throbbing against her vaginal contractions, bits of his seed erupting into her depths with each ejaculation; this climax was met with a scrunch of his face as he felt her hot breath moistening his beard and cheeks.

However, just as he was leaning into her to nuzzle against the flesh of her open beak, she let go and leaned back with her head on the pillow and head resting between Kagero's shoulders. She sighed heavily and shifted in place to sink into her bed and sheets a bit. “That's more like it, Kagero." Her pussy winked again, spewing a bit of her hot vaginal lubricant out over his crotch area, soaking him from belly to thighs as she rolled over onto her side, pulling Kagero with her. “Now, since you're done, I think it's time for sleep. The King and I have quite a day ahead of us."

Her legs shifted and lightly pushed Kagero out from between her thighs, leaving him soaked from her ejaculate and a little weak from his own climax. He wanted to protest, to complain about her tricking him into an early finish, but her warm smile told him that she was happy with the result and that he shouldn't feel ashamed about that. Plus, she did feel really good to him, so there was no reason to be worried.

Vaulix leaned over and gave Kagero a bit of a tug and a caress to get the human to lay down between both King and queen, since it was time for sleep.

With Vaulix on his left and Talba on his right, Kagero was warm and cozy, with one hand on each straddling him from either side. He couldn't sleep at first, because his mind was too wired from his day so far and he didn't want his time with Talba and Vaulix to end, but the king and queen both fell into slumber within minutes and he didn't wish to wake them. In time, his racing mind slowed to a crawl and he was able to join his hosts in dreamland, with their bodies curled around him in the shape of a heart.

Upon waking the next morning, Kagero reached out to caress one of his hosts, only to find that the bed was empty next to him. When he opened his eyes and rubbed away the sleep-gunk from them, he came to realize that he was wholly and fully alone.

The dressers were neatly condensed and the room was impeccably clean, with the table cleared sans a single note that was folded up with the name 'Kagero' on it.

Groggy still, he rolled and hopped off the bed to go grab the note after hopping up onto a chair – The room's amenities were clearly designed for people twice his height, making a simple thing like getting around a task. On the note read:

“Kagero. Thank you for a good time last night. It's always nice to see someone so willing to offer themselves to us in the name of the skies above. I'm sure we'll see you again, but not for many years given our impending return to childhood in the near future. We wanted to wake you to say goodbye, but you were just so cute sitting there with the morning sun shining down on you and time was a factor. Just know that we will always appreciate your faith and the lengths you would go to prove your fealty. With divine love, Queen Talba and King Vaulix. P.S. That Palusa girl deserves your affection. Yeah, we know about her."

And that was it. Kagero folded the paper and hopped down off the chair, wondering what he was to do next. He saw his clothes were folded up neatly in the corner of the room, like they'd been cleaned and prepared for his waking.

Part of him wished to remain naked in all his glory, but there was the slightest draft in the room and he felt like he would be more comfortable with some coverage, so he hopped back into his khakis and boots before slipping out of the room.

Just outside was Ceylon, laying on her belly and snoring gently.

Kagero leaned in and lightly pressed at the gryphon's shoulder. “C-Ceylon, it's time to wake up." He said, trying his best to urge her awake without startling her.

She shook off a bit as her feathers expanded and inflated before yawning wide, giving Kagero a clear view of the red flesh of her gullet before closing up and blinking away her own sleep-gunk. “Good morning, dear."

“Good morning." He responded, then paused to add a bit more. “You actually sleep? Like, Gods need their rest? I mean, Vaulix and Talba slept, but I thought that was just a post sex thing."

“Nope. We all sleep like normal people, we just don't need as much of it and can eschew sleep for other forms of energy replenishment, but sleep is the easiest and requires the least amount of effort. So, we sleep. Anyway, I think it's time for us to get back to the lodge. Will you be flying on or in me?"

He blinked and smiled. “In, if that's okay with you." He was eager to return to the warmth of a womb after being denied full entrance to either Talba or Vaulix, plus he would never say no to an opportunity to be in Ceylon's womb.

“Alright then, go on in and we'll head back up the mountain." Ceylon offered as she turned around, lifting her tail and spreading her hind legs to give Kagero an up-close look at her juicy ebony vulva, her plump rump hole, and the glistening red flesh that sliced through. She glanced back over her shoulders with a grin, urging Kagero to go ahead, but only after he'd disrobed; he knew the rules.
