The Evil of Love Chapter 11
A strong human man, a cunning and perverted male lucario, and a thieving giggling female weavile all search for something in a land where men use shields and swords to protect their lives. They search for treasure, but end up with something more.
This chapter is more focused on the aftermath of the night after a certain event, it is also sort of like Taleen's chapter. Hope you all enjoy it!
The next morning, Rulf slowly awoke. He opened his eyes, only to find he was the only one in the room. He shook his head as he remembered everything he did last night. Letting another man touch him like that, and even touching him back, that was something he never thought he would do. He guessed he was just lost in the moment, but part of him knew it was because he wanted to at least try it. Besides, Sarkis was a little feminine looking, although he felt a little guilty for doing what he did. He knew his mother and father would definitely not approve. He was always taught that he should never do things like that with another man, and yet, it felt so good. For once, he was glad he was far away from them. He wouldn't have to explain himself to them. Sarkis was not the only person on his mind. Taleen, she was so beautiful. He wanted to bed her from the moment he saw her, but now they had went there, how would she treat him? Would she regret what happened last night? Would she try and ignore him? Or, would she want to do it again? He guessed he would soon find out, after he has taken a bath. Right now, he smelled of sex.
"Did it hurt you the first time too?" Taleen asked as she remained seated on a bench, just outside their mansion. She wore her usual fur boots, shorts and vest. Her butt still hurt quite a bit after taking his knot. It was uncomfortable, but bearable.
"Ohh yes it did! I was so nervous, poor guy could hardly get it inside me," Sarkis replied with a smile. He sat besides the weavile, dressed him his robes. "But I quickly grew to love it, once he managed to get it all inside me anyway. How was it for you?"
"You're not exactly small, so it hurt at first, but the pain definitely faded once you two got going! You know what really surprised me though? Rulf! He always seems uptight, and then he just goes and sucks your dick!"
The lucario chuckled. "Once people are out of their clothes and in the bedroom, you often see a side to them that you would never expect. In my experience, some of the quietest and religious people are often the most deviant. People do things you would never expect them to once their horny enough."
"You would know! Hey, now you've got no gold at all, how are you going to pay for your wine and prostitutes?"
"I'll just ask Rulf nicely for some gold. Maybe he will ask me for a sexual favour in return, if I am lucky," he replied with a smile.
Taleen quickly turned her head, noticing someone approaching them. She could tell whoever it was, it wasn't Rulf. "Who's that?"
Sarkis looked over, not really recognizing the gallade's face. "How should I know?"
"At this point, I thought you would recognize the face of every guy in this town! You've slept with nearly all of them!" Taleen deviously exclaimed.
"I have not slept with nearly all of them, not yet," Sarkis casually responded as the gallade came closer and closer to them. "Do you have business here?"
The gallade stopped a short distance away from the two of them. He wore a dark green cloak, with the hood down. His shirt was black, as were his trousers. His belt buckle had a few sapphires inserted into it, giving away that this man had quite a bit of gold. "Y-yes. I, uh, I am looking for people to help me with quite a large problem that has gotten out of control. I heard the people that live here are some sort of demon hunters?"
"We do a bit of everything," Sarkis replied as he looked into the gallade's eyes. He thought they were very pretty shade of blue.
"I would like..." The gallade was unsure how to word his request, so he just went with the simple version. "I will be blunt. My entire home has been overrun by demons. Even the guards are too scared to go near it. Everyone I have sent has not came back. I am getting desperate, and I heard a few stories about you, so, how much would it be to buy you all? There are three of you, right?"
Taleen could feel this gallade's nervousness. "Yep, there's three of us! Rulf is still asleep, I think."
Sarkis didn't like the sound of this. If the guards were too afraid to go near his place, then why should they risk their skin for him? "How much are you planning on paying us?"
"I can pay each of you ten gold bars. You will have to clear the place out first though, I can't get to my gold if the creatures are still lurking in there," the gallade explained. "I will be staying at the Bloody Rose. If all three of you are interested, meet me there tomorrow. I will leave you to think it over."
Sarkis watched the gallade leave. He noticed that he seemed hasty in taking his leave. "Soooo, that guy probably shouldn't have told us he has already sent people ahead of us. Even though I am desperate for gold right now, not sure if it is worth risking my life again. What do you think?"
"I think you will change your mind by tomorrow! I think you could live without the gold, but we both need a little adventure in our lives! Besides, what can be worse than what we have already faced?" Taleen happily replied.
Sarkis knew she was right there, life was boring without adventure. They had already killed a lich, and survived a massive battle together. Maybe this would be easy gold for them, but it could also be very dangerous. However, if his friends were up for it, then so was he. "A lot of things can be worse than what we've already faced, but I am willing to take risks! Do you think Rulf will agree to come along with us?"
Taleen nodded. "He's a fighter! I think he'll watch our backs!"
"Maybe in more than one way," Sarkis added with a chuckle.
"If you two end up fucking each other, tell me! Because I want to watch," she told him with a devious giggle.
"I think when I took your virginity with Rulf, we created a sexual monster," he replied whilst grinning. "Now that Rulf tried out a few things with me, maybe it will be easier to convince him to go a little further. He said he had no regrets after all."
"He did?"
"Yeah, right after you passed out," he said with a chuckle.
Whilst the weavile and the lucario talked, Rulf grabbed some trousers and a shirt, putting them on his clean body. His mind was still on everything that happened last night, on everything that he did, and wanted to do. It made him wonder, has some part of him always wanted to try things with other men? Where he grew up, he was always told it was wrong. He was always told that real men never did that sort of stuff, and yet, a part of him liked touching Sarkis like that. He never thought he would touch his friend like that, and yet, he found himself wondering what it would be like to go even further with him. He didn't think he was gay, because he did absolutely love being inside Taleen. There was only one conclusion he could come to, he liked both. Rulf could already imagine Sarkis smiling, knowing that he had finally gave the lucario what he wanted. He got into bed with him, and now he was questioning his own sexuality. Maybe a walk would help clear his mind for a moment.
A few minutes later, Rulf walked outside, breathing in the fresh air. He then continued on, walking forwards until he saw a couple of familiar faces. "What are you two doing out here?" he asked as he approached them both. He noticed something, they both looked very happy. He knew Taleen must have no regrets either.
Sarkis looked back over to him. "Just admiring nature, and talking dirty with my devious little friend here."
"Hey Rulf! So, you wanna fuck again tonight? Only in my pussy or mouth this time, my ass still hurts from last night," she told him. She wouldn't mind trying anal again, but she felt like she needed to give her backside some time to recover.
Rulf was a little surprised by her words. He couldn't blame her for wanting to jump right back into it again. He remembered his first time, he wanted to keep doing it again and again too. "I'd be crazy not to go again," he replied. He wondered if they would have anymore surprises in store. He assumed Sarkis was gonna be in on the action too, so he knew pretty much anything could happen.
Sarkis was glad he was up for a little more fun tonight. "Before I forget, I should tell you something. Some guy is offering us a lot of gold just to take care of a few monsters cluttering up his home."
"How much gold?" Rulf inquired. Although he was still very rich, more gold was always useful.
"Ten gold bars, each!" Sarkis replied. He then thoroughly enjoyed the surprised expression that spread across Rulf's face.
"Ten gold bars?! That can't be right... How many monsters did he say there were in his home?"
"He didn't give a specific number, but we could always have a look and see if we want to go through with the job." Sarkis knew something seemed a little off with this offer, but he always was into taking risks.
"You two talk it over, I'm heading to the Bloody Rose!" Taleen chipped in before almost skipping away.
Rulf chuckled a little as he watched the weavile head towards the inn. She looked very happy today.
"We'll meet you there in a few hours!" Sarkis hollered over to her. He had plans for today, but he didn't want to miss out on a chance to earn a load of gold.
Six hours later...
Taleen had been waiting for Rulf and Sarkis, but she quickly got bored and decided to do what she does best. She very carefully climbed in through a window like the expert thief she was. She was extremely silent, but she didn't linger in one place for too long. She took a quick look around the hotel room, noticing it was quite spacious and very clean. Whoever was renting out this room probably had a load of gold on them, she just had to find it. She searched the living room first, and found nothing. She searched the bedroom too, but came up empty handed again. She did however take a moment to take a look through a nearby chest full of clothes. She pulled a brown leather vest, it was quite small so she decided to try it on. It still felt big on her, but it was clear that whoever was renting out this room wasn't that much bigger than she was. She took off the vest and threw it in a nearby bed. It was then that she heard something, water splashing. It was coming from nearby, so she immediately decided to go check it out. She found a door that was open just a little, making it easy for her to take a peek inside.
A red haired dwarf was in the room. The floor in this room wasn't wooden, it was made up of granite. In the middle of the room was a large marble bath, which the dwarf was currently bathing in. She was completely naked, and staring at a nearby candle at the edge of her bath. Her reddish-hazel eyes were completely transfixed on the flame as it fluttered ever so slightly. Her pale face was still wet after having washed her face a little. She had a few freckles on her face, and more than a few scars on her body. A droplet of water dripped from her cute nose, making a tiny splash. Her right arm was covered in the most prominent scars. The scars started at her finger tips and reached all the way up to her shoulder, and some of her right breast. The scars were extremely strange, almost like a tattoo of some kind of strange plant. The scars at her fingers were like roots which them formed a single long stem. All of them met up at her wrist. The stem wrapped around her arm and multiple pink branches sprouted from it, covering even more of her pale flesh in scars. It carried on all the way up to her shoulder where the stem stopped, but the branches managed to scar even more of her flesh up.
Taleen's eyes were quickly drawn to a heavy looking coin purse nearby. Unfortunately, it was right behind the dwarf's back. On the bright side, the dwarf's back was facing her. Her eyes went wide as she weighed up the pros and cons, but as always, she gave into her kleptomania. There were no shadows to hide in, nothing to hide behind either. She needed to time this perfectly, and needed to be extremely silent. She licked her lips before going in.
The dwarf closed her eyes and tried to relax, but she found herself thinking back to some truly terrible times. Even with all the gold she had amassed over the years, it didn't help her sleep any better. It couldn't erase her memories. Out of nowhere, she felt a wave of dread washing over herself. She felt as if she was being watched, she felt as if someone was staring right at the back of her head. It wasn't an unfamiliar feeling to her, she often felt like she was being watched, but this time was different. She heard a faint metallic click behind herself which caused her to immediately stand up and spin around.
Taleen gasped as she was grabbed by the wrist. She had no idea how the dwarf knew she was there seeing as the sound of the coins moving around in the purse was inaudible even to her. "How did you..."
"You?!" the dwarf yelled at her. "You thieving cunt. Don't even think of fighting..."
Taleen felt her heart sinking a little. She had been found out before, but never physically caught. Although she felt stupid for attempting stealing from her, she couldn't help but be impressed. "How did you know I was behind you?"
"Does it matter? Put my fucking gold down, and I might let you escape with your hand intact!"
The weavile quickly complied, dropping the coin purse back down on the floor. "Have we met before?" she inquired. The dwarf seemed to know her, but she sure didn't recognize the dwarf.
"At that tower, with the undead. I was the one in the mask... Have you stolen anything else from me? Don't lie, or I'll drown you in this fucking bath water..."
Taleen immediately remembered her from the tower. She had no idea this dwarf was the very same one she had met before. "I wore your vest, but that's it..."
"You wore my vest?" she said as a puzzled look quickly spread across her face. She could see that this weavile wasn't about to attack, so she decided to let go of her wrist. She brought her forearm up to her chest, covering her breasts. "Your clothes look fine, don't know why you're wearing mine."
"I just wanted to see if it fits! It was a little big on me," Taleen replied.
"Don't you have enough money to pay for your own clothes?" the dwarf inquired, guessing she must be pretty desperate to attempt to steal from her.
"I do, but I just can't stop stealing. Some people are addicted to sex, others really like booze, I really love thieving," she honestly said. She then took a few steps back, just in case the dwarf changed her mind and decided she wanted to hand her over to the guards.
"You should stop, it'll get you killed," the dwarf responded. She didn't really understand why anyone would steal for fun. When she was a kid, she used to do it to survive.
"You're the first person to really catch me. I'm Taleen, what's your name?"
"Usually thieves run when they've been caught," the dwarf said as she grabbed her coin purse and set it down further away from the weavile. She then decided to sit back down in the bath, but she kept her eyes on the strange thieving woman at all times. "My name is Hilda..."
"Sooo, you're not going to turn me in?" Taleen curiously asked.
Hilda smirked as she looked back at Taleen. "No, but try to steal from me again and I'll leave some scars on that pretty face of yours."
The weavile's expression turned to one of surprise. "You think I am pretty?" she replied with a faint smile, feeling a little flattered.
"Yes, but don't go thinking that's an open invitation to steal all my shit and wear all my clothes," the dwarf firmly replied to her.
"I get it, I get it. I steal, you attack," Taleen replied as she took a few steps towards the dwarf.
Hilda looked right at the weavile, noticing her eyes looking all over her body. "What? Like something you see?"
"Just looking at your scars, how did you get them?!" Taleen moved a little closer and knelt down, her face practically inches away from the dwarf's arm. She looked at the unusual patterns scarred into her skin, wondering what could've possibly made it.
"I...I'd rather not talk about it..." Hilda soon cast her gaze elsewhere, looking towards a nearby burning candle. Her eyes locked onto that flickering flame again.
"Oh, alright then." She wasn't about to pry into this woman's past if she didn't want to talk about it. Besides, Taleen wasn't entirely sure what this woman was capable of, and she didn't feel like getting on her bad side. She then swiftly decided to change topics. "Sooo...you're a lesbian, right? Or maybe you're bi?"
Hilda sharply turned her head in the weavile's direction, now wondering of that question had something to do with why she was still here. "Yeah, I'm lesbian... What are you?"
Taleen smiled playfully as she took off her boots and decided to dip her legs into the dwarf's bath. "I'm straight! I mean, I have been a little curious, but isn't everybody at least a little? I'm just not a big fan of the thought of rubbing myself against another woman like a horny dog, no offense."
A faint chuckle escaped the dwarf's lips. "There's more to it than just rubbing cunts together. There are lots of ways women can get each other off, and because we know what a woman likes, it makes it all the more pleasurable for our partners... Although it has been a long while since I have done it."
She could hear the disappointment in Hilda's voice with that last sentence. "How long has it been?"
"Hmmm, about twenty years, give or take."
Taleen's eyes shot wide open, not believing what she had just heard. The dwarf looked as if she was in her late twenties so she wondered how could that possibly be right. "Twenty years?! How old are you?!"
Hilda smiled just a little at that response. "Older than you think, but not too old..." She didn't want to speak too much on this subject. In fact, she wanted to just forget what led to her looking so youthful after all this time because what happened was far from pretty. "I don't know how many years I have left in me, but I plan to enjoy what time I have left in my own way..." After everything the dwarf had been through, she felt like she deserved a break. She always did find herself drawn back to danger though.
"Killing undead is enjoyable for you?" Taleen asked. She had to admit, it was exciting compared to just sitting around all day.
"Killing whatever raises the undead is the best part," she replied. She remembered how that necromancer died so pitifully. She believed it was a fitting end to an evil person. She then looked to Taleen's body. "How's your stomach?"
"Healed up nicely! I have a scar, but still, better than being dead."
Hilda wasn't about to admit it, but she was beginning to enjoy this weavile's company. It was her happy energetic personality she liked, she could tell that she wasn't going to try anything else. "You know there is plenty of room in here for two... Don't worry, I'm not trying to seduce you."
Taleen usually wouldn't get naked in front of strange people, but she made an exception for her. Besides, she didn't have anything Hilda hadn't seen before. She tossed aside her clothing and sat on the opposite side of the circular tub. The water was still very warm which made it easier for her to relax. "Mmm, how long are you staying in Fordin for?"
"A few days, maybe more. It depends if anyone wants to hire us around here. We're always moving around but we take long breaks in the winter to rest and recover," Hilda explained.
Both women talked for a good half an hour before taking their conversation into the bedroom. Neither women bothered to get dressed seeing as they had both seen everything already. Hilda sat down on the bed with a glass of wine in her hand. She had poured one out for her guest too, which Taleen eagerly accepted. As the two of them became more and more intoxicated, they both began to open up to each other a lot. The conversation shifted from fighting styles, and onto other more lewd topics.
"You did two guys, at once?"
"Yep!"
"... What was it like?" Hilda asked, wondering if the weavile actually enjoyed it.
"It was a lot better than I thought it would be. The only down side was that my ass was pretty sore afterwards!" she exclaimed with a happy smile on her face. "So, what's the wildest thing you've ever done in bed?"
Hilda hadn't really thought about it before, but she hadn't done anything really wild when it came to sex. She had done a lot of crazy stuff, but none of it sex related. "I...I haven't really done anything that wild in bed..."
"Well, what did you do in bed?" Taleen asked, curious to know what type of lover Hilda was. She guessed Hilda was the dominating type, but she didn't really know her well enough to make a good guess.
Hilda smiled a little, thinking back to some of the few happy memories she had. "I kissed a lot... I liked to taste her, finger her, I loved overwhelming her and finger fucking her right through her orgasm... Nothing made me wetter than her shrieking out for me..." Her smile quickly faded as she thought about what happened to her former lover. "... I have only ever had two women... Both of them were better people than I am... I have no idea what they saw in me..."
"Maybe they were attracted to your strength?" Taleen thought aloud.
Hilda shrugged. "I don't know...could be that..." She brought the half filled wine glass up to her lips, drinking it all up in one gulp before laying on her back. She stared up to the ceiling, sighing. "Those guys you told me about...are you in love with them?"
Talent shook her head as she lay next to the dwarf. "No... I don't think so. They're like best friends to me, really, really close best friends..."
"How would you feel if you couldn't remember their faces?" Hilda asked. It had been so long since Hilda had opened up to anyone in this way, and yet here she was with a thief, wanting to just let out all her thoughts and feelings. She had been bottling it up for so long, but she didn't think she could keep bottling it up.
"I don't know... Why are you asking?" the drunk weavile curiously asked.
"Because I am finding it harder and harder to remember her face... I've seen so much horrible shit, so much of it I will never, ever forget. Instead, I'm forgetting her face... My memory of her is all I have left of her. If I don't have that, then I really have nothing..."
Taleen sat up, looking down to the dwarf. "You really loved her, didn't you?"
Hilda didn't reply, not with words anyway. Her eyes filled with tears she tried to fight back, she bit down slightly on her own quivering lower lip, and she tried to ignore the pain of something ripping deep within her gut. She had felt immense physical pain before, but by far the worst kind of anguish was in the mind.
Taleen knew that look. She had seen it in her sister's eyes before, she couldn't bare that look. She knew what she had to do. She lay next to the dwarf and pulled her into a warm embrace, hugging her. This was not a side that many saw to her, it was very rare she did this.
Hilda was confused for a second, but after a brief moment had passed, she wrapped her arms around the weavile and tried to fight back those tears. For some reason, just having someone holding her like this made it far easier for her to deal with. Normally, she had to deal with this stuff on her own. She never mentioned what was on her mind to any of her people, she felt like she should be able to deal with it alone. Having someone to hold helped a lot, even if that someone was a thief.
