while hiking, kiyota finds himself lost in the woods. then he realized that he is in a swamp...
The Swamp
Jadeviper hears a noise and rolls onto her front, peering over the edge of the rock. To one side she can see a stranger looking around him as he walks deeper into the swamp, to the other side she sees her clothes still lying by the lake, folded neatly in a pile.
Rolling onto her back she looks up at the trees overhead and considers the situation.
Orophin, in his usual way, floats in above the trees to survey the swamp once again. He is happy to see that his plan worked, in that his psychic message to Jadeviper's subconcious caused her swift return, with nice pastry treats.....yum!!!
'hmm, Laura looks abit brighter' he notices her aura has raised about 50% since earlier.
Orophin, now hungry from his exploits, decides to welcome Jadeviper back and inquire about her lovely buns. 😃
Jadeviper smiles up at Orophin as he floats down onto her rock. She sees no need in hiding her nakedness from an elf and busies herself in unpacking the basket, spreading out scones, jam and clotted cream.
Orophin, tries to look away but just cant help but gaze in awe of this heavenly body almost in rival of that of our goddess Laura. even elven folk cant compare.
He accepts the scone and tea, his body shivers too much from the sight that it causes the teacup to rather slightly but noticabely.
Ebarassed by his rather obvious behaviour, he tries to detract her now puzzeled attention by thanking her...."Thanks Jade, its good to see you"
alas even his voice betrays him, as it turns out to be high-pitched and shaky, epecialy with the utterance of those last two words.
Jadeviper noticing, smiles quite amused by this and then winks at him, which only makes him glow bright red on his face. 'damn it, i never knew brown skin could be this red' he thinks to himself quite annoyed with himself.
While Orophin attempts to drink his tea without spilling too much, Jadeviper stands and walks to the edge of the rock. Ignoring the stranger still wandering in the distance, she crouches, bending forward, and looks back over her shoulder at Orophin, making him choke on his tea. Then she jumps off the rock and runs down to the edge of the lake to gather up her clothes. Throwing her top over her head as she climbs back up to the rock, she steps into her skirt as she walks back over to Orophin. Smiling at his expression (huge relief tinted with slight disappointment) she drops gracefully into a cross-legged position, her long skirt spread out around her like a flower. Reaching forward, she takes a scone and begins spreading it with jam.
Orophin checks his pulse counter watch to see that the heart meter has gone down from "dangerous" to "normal".' phew!!' he exlcaims silently as he dabs his sweat drenched forehead but thanks the heavens for that view. 😉
He rests his back against a tree, then turns to looks at Jadeviper, and then looks across the pond to see Laura. He looks up at the cool blue sky, cloudless and bathed in pristine sunlight that in turn empahsizes the amazing beauty of these goddesses as he gazes at them once more.
Orophin closes his eyes, sips the last of his tea through a big but decreet smile and then thinks to himself contentedly 'We truly are blessed'. He drifts into a deep slumber that carries with it all the exertions of the days gone by.
Jadeviper clears away the tea things and pulls out a soft blanket to wrap around Orophin. Tucking in the edges, she lies down beside him and goes to sleep too.
And Laura, content finally, snuggles herself right next to the little elf.
The next morning Laura wakes up early and blushes realizing where she is. 'Elf or not, I should be more careful in my actions...' She gets up, prepares a tall glass Semi-Skimmed Milk for Orophin and the same for Jadeviper although she does not know exactly what she prefers drinking in the morning. For herself Laura puts a coffee pot to brew and goes out for a morning dip in the pond.
Jadeviper wakes, sits up and stretches. Looking down to the water, she smiles at Laura. Being careful not to wake Orophin, she slips silently off the rock to join Laura in the pool.
'Hi, so nice to see you' Laura greets her.
'Did you sleep well?' Jadeviper asks, stooping and cupping her hands into the cool water to splash herself down.
'Warm and cozy', Laura admits, blushing again and being glad that neither Jadeviper - nor god-forbit Orophin - knows where she actually spend the night. Just to change the subject she starts to splash water around and on Jadeviper and in no time at all the two swampettes are giggeling and fooling around in the water like little kids.
Jadeviper squeals as Laura splashes the water over her, and retaliates in kind, wondering in the back of her mind if this will wake Orophin, and what his reaction would be to the sight of Jadeviper and Laura standing waist-deep in the pool and splashing each other... well, if this doesn't wake him, she has an idea of something that might 😉
'What? You mean we throw the poor elf into the water?'
Jadeviper giggles "well, my idea did involve getting him wet, but it's a little easier to achieve!"
Jadeviper steps out of the pool and climbs up to where Orophin lies sleeping. Standing over him, she allows the water to drip from her hair and body onto him, making him begin to stir. Laura smiles and joins Jadeviper, wondering if the elf will appreciate waking to the vision of two wet and naked women standing over him...
Orophin feels what seems to be rain and then in his half slumber remembers where he layed to sleep. He opens his eyes, still abit blurry, he stretched his arm out and yawn quite refreshed.......'huh, whats this?' he wonders as he noticed his outstreched arms have hit something very soft and wet on either side of him. He brings his arm back to him, cleans the sleep from his eyes then looks up.
'argh!!' is what escaped his lips, althogh he wishes it was someting more dignifying that did cos' the sight that beheld him would stop even the marauding armies Orion dead in their tracks.
His heart went like a race horse as he gazed at these two angels, n-n-naked with the morning sun making their wet bodies glisten like diamonds.....'what do i do? what do i say? his thought raced around his head.
be-beep-be-beep!!! his pulse meter watch chimed out in warning of his impending cardiac arrest.....'saved by the bell' he thought as the chime broke the very uncomfotable silence.
he stands up slowly, towering over them, looking at those cheeky grins, composes himself and says "morning ladies, i hope you left some water for me"......he mentally kicks himself for such a corny line.
He takes their hands and kisses them in turn and drinks the woderfully prepared coffee. "I have to run a few errands, i'll be back by lunchtime"...of course this was a half lie cos' the errands where not due untill later, it was just an excuse to leave before he drops dead of over-oxigenated blood....his watch was still beeping all the time, mind you.
He thanks them for the breakfast (what a breakfast 😉 ) then flies off......having a self cleaning anti-bacterial skin negates the need for bathing. 😃
With a sigh Jadeviper picks up her clothes and examines them. "These are far too dusty from travelling to wear, they need to be washed, and I'll just have to stay naked while they dry". Jadeviper hopes the other inhabitants of the swamp don't mind...
With a shrug, she heads back down to the pool to wash her clothes.
Jadeviper is stunned by the appearance of the beautiful dress and calls excitedly to Laura, who appears clutching her own. Suspecting the origin of the dresses, Jadeviper smiles and looks around, but doesn't see the elf. Turning to the case, she opens it to find exactly what she was looking for - a long flowing patchwork skirt the colour of autumn leaves and a gyspy-style white shirt with a lace-up front. Red Gucci dresses are wonderful, but not very practical for the swamp. Jadeviper folds the dress neatly and lays it in the case for a very special occasion - such as thanking Orophin for such a generous gift 😉
Laura is speechless and cannot take her eyes off the D&G dress. Simple, elegant, sexy - just how she wants her wardrobe. With a sigh she agrees with Jadeviper. White dresses with golden seams just aren't practical for the swampy duties. Laura folds away the dress and pulls out shorts and a top instead. Nothing fancy, but as they fit perfectly (like only magical items of clothing do) and bring out the shape of her body, she is not disagreeable to look at.
'Hey JV' she calls out to the other women who is concentrated in examining the contents of her suitcase. 'What should we do to thank our benefactor? And could we please wear these gorgeous things while doing it?'
Jadeviper thinks for a moment. "To be honest, I can't think of anything better than wearing the dresses for him, and perhaps a few other outfits we could get from these wonderful cases... outfits to tantalise his imagination perhaps?"
'Too bad we're on a G-rated swamp' Laura giggles, refusing to elaborate her thought.
Jadeviper raises an eyebrow at Laura and smiles evilly. "Indeed"
'We'll be needing something to eat too, won't we? I could go and pick some of the delicious fruit that grow in these areas. I will make sure they contain plenty of healthy vitamins' Laura says 'and loads of aphrodisiacs' she adds to herself.
'Do you think we could invite anyone else with such a short notice? Or do you think it would be more fun just between us?' Laura ponders.
"this place really need some sprucing up" acknowleging some of the murky parts of the swamp as he flew over "all i need is permision"....mosquito started this so its his final word.
"i wonder if the women like their gifts" he smiles to himself looping in the air happy with himself.
As he closes in on the girls, he hears a loud bang t...."what was that?"....he looks over to the direction, and sees a large plume of smoke rising from the edge of the swamp.
'oh shit!!! thats my house!!!'....a horrified look falls over his face as his mind starts to panic. He flies off with such ferocity that it shatters rows of trees in his path.
Down below Laura is picking fruit and collecting herbs when she suddendly hears a bang. Seconds later a swooshing sound in the trees which she cannot recognize. And then the smell of something burning. Laura starts to hurry back to the camp. 'The party can wait, I just hope everybody is safe' she thinks to herself.
When Laura reaches the camp, it's empty. Not even Jadeviper's suitcase is there anymore. Among the more or less frightening options Laura chooses to believe that Ewan has come and rescued Jadeviper. The smoke was getting thicker now and Laura decided to try and head to the opposite direction. She did not want to leave behind the suitcase (fortunately it could be transformed into a backpack) but fighting through the vegetation with the load made her journey very difficult. She was not worried for herself though, more than anything she was thinking of the swamp. Was this the end of the life they had shared there?
Fighting the raging inferno, Orophin tries to salvage what he could, for these item where as important as life itself.
He then realises through the panic cloud in his mind, that he can sort this out quickly. He flies over a nearby lake the spins round enough to cause a whirlwind which in turn siphons off some of the lake water.........bringing the water to the burning building, he realeses his grip and the fire is estinguished.
Orophin now settles down to earth, sits folornly on the smoke balackened floor, and just looks round to see the sad faces on the fromer inhabitants of this building. The house in question was an animal sanctuary for injured and infirmed creatures of the swamp. It was not created by magic but of the hardwork of its patients.
"What a waste!!!"....."I'm glad no one was seriously hurt, but its not gonna be easy to fix this"
He gets up, dusts himself off and turns around to the shock striken survivors......"This is not he end!!! We will fix this, we have worked too hard and nothing is gonna stop us".....he smiles as he sees their faces light-up and the determination in their eyes.
"Oh!!! I wonder if the girls are ok, that was a very powerful explosion". He hears some rustling in the trees some distance away...."Ahh!! sounds like Laura" he smiles then runs towards her direction.
It's not Laura. Jadeviper walks slowly into the building, looking at the damage with a look of shock on her face. Seeing Orophin on the floor, she looks him up and down, making sure he's not hurt. Satisfied, she puts her suitcase down, opens it and removes overalls and cleaning materials, and begins the slow job of clearing up.
