Stranded (Closed)

At the sudden face to face, Lynnira was about ready to pounce on the priest and not in a good way. However, I know this is not exactly a good time for such a confrontation for my new queen. Before she can react, I give a gentle tug on her tail. She scowls a little at the action, glancing back at me. I give a slight shake of my head for a moment before Zetta tells the Priest to lead us back upstairs.

I put my arm around the demoness once more, holding her close to keep her in keep as the priest began to explain the history of the cult. It was a colorful and interesting history in my opinion. Though I did get addressed to answer questions, I simply smiled and let Zetta do the talking. I did believe the cult might have it's uses for my plans, either in getting home or seeing if I could truly be elavated to godhood. That would be a fun thought, but there were probably pitfalls as well.

I also had to keep Lynnira under control or she would end up ruining my plans. Her eyes did have a fire in them as she was quite willing and ready to roast every cultist she could find. That would prove useful later, but not now. Lynnira continued to frown and shook her head when she was asked about a drink or any questions. I chuckled for a moment.

"No, I have no further questions for the time being. Go ahead and fetch the drinks. We'll be in our room."

The priest gave a quick nod before running off. I led the two ladies back to the room where I sat down on the bed. Lynnira was still upset for the time being, leaning against the wall. I gave a smile for a moment.

"Now now my queen. I know you probably want to kill this cult, but they may be useful to us. As the priest mentioned, there are other cults around and you can probably unleash your wrath on them. After all, we don't wish any competition for godhood. Right my ladies?"
 
Zetta

Food and drinks were brought into Jacob’s private chamber. Everything tastes good, and I was surprised by the drinks. There were three urn-like containers, each with a different alcoholic drink. I tried all three, one was a Dark Ale Sip, basically a more powerful ale. Another was called a Glowing Septar Cognac, it was clearly an after dinner drinks, but was good. Finally, there was aged Qosomo red wine.

The food and drink seemed to calm Queen Lynnira down. I was not sure if it was the right time, but I decided I needed to tell her something.

"I need to thank you Queen Lynnira for showing mercy to High Priest Merk. Your act showed everyone your greatness and your compassion. Small act of kindness such as that will increase our power and influence.” I told the Queen.

She glared at me, but then her eyes softened a little. “He and all his cult members may still die. Just not right now” She explained.

I tilted my head then nodded in understanding.

“How does the food and drink taste? I’ll bet you haven’t tasted food in a while” I remarked.

“I had forgotten what a pleasurable sensation, taste is!” Queen Lynnira answered. I could tell She was being quite genuine with her answer.

“You think that is good. You need to enjoy some of the other senses. Like viewing a beautiful sunset over the jungle, or smelling a field of flowers, or maybe a warm bubble bath.” I suggested,

Queen Lynnira nodded, "There is one physical pleasure I’d like to try tonight” She answered in a lusty tone of voice. Her eyes looking over to Jacob. I was surprised Queen Lynnira was thinking like that little slut! But I guess she was pretty horny being trapped in the temple for 1000’s of years.

“I will leave at once” I said to Queen Lynnira. However, as I got up to leave, she shook her head “no”.

“Stay… I wish to bed you too” She replied with a naughty grin. For whatever reason, she was lit up with joy. I quickly cleaned up the dinner plates. Then I helped Queen Lynnira her out of her shoes and blouse.

“Wow” I moaned turned on by the queen’s amazing body.

Jacob and Lynnira then turned on me. The two people did not stop until I was naked. As we took Jacob’s clothing off. Lynnira appreciated his impressive hard-on. She went over to Jacob and kissed him. I was pleased Jacob and her were getting along so well. Lynnira pulled me over too and soon we were all kissing. As I kissed the both of them, I slid my finger down Lynnira’s belly and then into her little bit of heaven.

Lynnira looked surprised as Jacob started to toy with her breasts. She gasped as she felt my fingers touch her private area. She closed her eyes and spread her legs slightly to facilitate my further explorations.
 
I smiled and licked my lips as I watched Zetta begin to explore Lynnira with her fingers. My fingers ran gently over the demoness's breasts, tweaking and pinching the taut nubs. The queen reached out on hand, wrapping her fingers lightly against my shaft as she began to slowly stroke me.

"It's been so long since I was touched like this."

Her other hand reached out and wrapped gently around Zetta's head as she stroked along her clit and over her wet folds. Her hips jerk into the air from the sensative spot, moaning loudly. I leaned down and captured my queen's mouth with mine in a passionate kiss as Zetta licked lightly along the demoness's folds to taste her. I groan into Lynnira's mouth as she gives a teasing squeeze to my shaft as she slowly speeds up her stoking.

Our kiss is soon broke before Lynnira's soft tongue finds my tip, swirling over it slowly before she takes the tip in and mms as she suckles gently.

"Your mouth feels wonderful my queen."
 
Zetta

Lynnira pushed my head down further between her legs, moaning as she felt my tongue enter her delicate moist folds pulsing with desire. She had wanted sex with both of us and she had told us it had been a long time. I just did not realize that she would get so excited so quickly.

My simple licks and Jacob’s kisses had already gotten her very excited. Her nipples were hard as Jacob happily admired her amazing breasts. Then he licked her, and kneed her bouncy and plump breasts. They were so astounding her breasts could please a man or a woman. Jacob squeezed them gently and ran his thumb over her pink nipples, earning another moan from his Queen.

"MMMMM," the Queen moaned as she reached over and rubbed Jacob’s crotch. This only caused Jacob to flick his tongue over one of her nipples faster, making her shiver. He could see how much she ached for his touch and his cock grew harder at the thought of pounding into her. He sucked on one breast while massaging the other, watching Lynnira’s expression as her excitement grew. Lynnira freed Jacob huge cock and when she saw it she gasped.

Lynnira was clearly excited by its size and flush with joy. Her rosy lips curved into a smile as she moaned, arching her back as she fed Jacob her breast, and me her pussy. She loved what both of us were doing. As Jacob moved to suck and lick her other breast, I added two fingers, which I pushed into her pussy as my tongue focused on her clit. Lynnira was cooing

Jacob and I reached a good rhythm between licking and sucking. Her body responded in shivers and quivers. My tongue licked her faster as Jacob’s hands roamed over her body, her nipples, even down to her pussy. Exposing her clit for my licking tongue. I attacked her sensitive clit. The constant stimulation pushed her over the edge. She felt herself coming, a steady rise that soon over whelmed her into bliss. The tremendous wave of pleasure hit her sex as her pussy moistened, pussy juice dripping from it. Her pussy was begging to be conquered.

Jacob’s huge cock pulsed with anticipation, blood of excitement and arousal flooding through his veins. His cock knew how to conquer pussy’s and was ready for action. Jacob also wanted to fuck her, make love to her, explored her, and please her. I knew it was time to remove my mouth from her pussy… so Jacob could have his way with her.
 
"Take me my king. Make me yours."

Lynnira licked her lips in anticipation as she gazed at my thick, large cock, speading her legs wide. I looked down at her offered pussy, her wet lips quivering with anticipation.

"With pleasure my queen."

I moved closer to her, resting my tip against her hot folds for a moment before taking a deep breathe. I moaned as I pushed into her, groaning as I felt her warm passage encompass my shaft so very tightly. However, since she hadn't had sex in such a long time, she felt like a tight vice around my shaft, my hands grabbing on her waist tightly. Her legs wrapped around my waist as she eagerly pulled my into her, squeezing around my cock at the same time.

"Fuck...so damn tight Lynnira...God..."

The demoness grinned wicked and nodded, biting her bottom lip as she arched upward. She reached up with one hand to grasp Zetta's left breast, squeezing with the pleasure. Zetta wrapped one hand over Lynnira's as the demoness played with her breast and nipple. I groan as my full length finally sinks into my queen, the shiver of pleasure going up my spine from her tightness. I feel like I could burst any moment, but I try and hold out for the time being.

I soon began to thrust in and out of my queen at a slow pace, trying to help loosen her up as she rocks back against me as well. I reach out to Zetta as well, Sliding two fingers into her and rubbing her clit with my thumb. She panted and moaned as her hips buck against my hand before having to lean over Lynnira and hold herself up with her free hand. I groan louder as I pick up the pace while my Queen takes advantage of Zetta's position and suckling and nibbling on the breast dangling over her head.
 
Zetta

Jacob pulled his huge cock out of Lynnira and bent over and licked her wet pussy lips. He wanted to make sure Lynnira’s pussy was lubricated. Her pussy was soaking wet. He pried open her lips. Licked her again, working his way up to Lynnira's asshole, spitting on it and working a finger in, she moaned loudly.

"Stop fucking around," Lynnira said, "get that cock back in."

Jacob obliged, standing up and ramming himself in hard, as Lynnira squealed.

"I want to see you cum, up close," I said I got under her pussy and just looked as Lynnira cunt was stretched by Jacob’s cock. Her cunt was dripping with her own juices, her inner thighs glistening from the wetness. I inserted two fingers into her ass, pushing in deep, as Lynnira gasped. Jacob pumped himself in and out fast. He built up a steady rhythm and Lynnira started to moan loudly.

"I'm going to cum, fuck, fuck, fuck, I'm cumming," screamed Lynnira.

She started bucking against Jacob’s cock, it took me by surprise, her trembling and her cunt tightening, squeezing his cock. He started to cum too, "oh fuck," Jacob said, "I'm cumming." He pulled out fast, and squirted hot streams of cum over her tummy and tits.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, that's it," Lynnira screamed. Her body stiffened and tensed; her cunt was an inch from my face. Juices squirted from her pussy hitting me in the face, I opened my mouth and drank in her cum.
 
I panted softly as I stood there for a moment, my cum covered cock slowly softening. Lynnira mmed as she reached down, rubbing my spent cum over her smooth skin. She soon picked up a bit on her fingers and mmed as she licked them off seductively as she looked at Zetta and I. She moaned as Zetta continued to lick at her leaking pussy. She groaned as she reached down with a hand and pressed it on the back of Zetta's head, pushing her face into her crotch.

"Yes...that's it..."

Lynnira panted as she arched her back, grinding back against Zetta's mouth. My queen reached out for my soft cock, using her fingers to coax me back to full arousal. I moaned as I enjoyed the sweet touch that I had missed. It wasn't long before Lynnira came once more, screaming out her pleasure as her demonic juices fed Zetta's thirst.

Lynnira panted softly as she let Zetta up to breathe, but her fingers curled into the younger female's hair as her other hand release my cock.

"Don't move dear. I want to see him fuck your sweet little pussy."

I chuckle for a moment before I move behind Zetta, pausing for a moment before I drive slow and deep into her. Zetta moans as I begin to thrust deeply, hard and fast into her.

"Fuuckk Jacob....so big..."

I laugh for a moment before I continue to plow into her, my hands on her waist for support. It isn't long before I hit my peak, driving hard into her as I release my load into her this time.

I pant softly as I pull from her, my cock softening once more. I open my mouth to say something, but a knock at the door interrupts my thoughts. Mark's voice can be heard.

"Perhaps M'lord would like to see the sunset for a bit? There is a wonderful view balcony near the top of the temple."
 
Zetta

Normally, watching a sunset was not something I was into. But after the sex, it sounded good. We climbed the stairs to near the top of the temple. The balcony was a perfect spot to catch the sunset. As we all got comfortable, I thought about my life. It was so much better now with Jacob in it. I did not want him to leave. Then I wondered why Jacob wanted to leave this life.

The situation he was in, was like a fantasy. He was very powerful, super rich, and had two woman to choose from. Actual he had lots of women to choose from if he wanted to. I glanced over to him and we exchanged a smile. Our eyes connecting, he seemed happy.

I did not want to disturb the sunset, so I waited. The sunset was wonderful. The enormous fireball dipped below the jungle horizon. And soon it produced a rainbow of reds, yellows and oranges in the small clouds in the sky. It felt right, and peaceful. The darkness came slowly, but we all waited and remained silent. We could hear the night birds, frogs, other jungle creatures beginning their foraging in the absence of light.

"That was a beautiful sunset...wasn't it?" I asked Jacob. He nodded.

“Hey, Jacob, what are your thoughts about staying here for a while? You are rich and powerful and can live a life of dreams. Have you thought about your future?” I asked him.
 
The sunset was much different that what I had normally watched in my whole life. There was just something about it that I couldn't place a finger on why that was so. I stood in silence, a smile on my face as the three of us enjoyed the sinking sun. Lynnira pressed against me on my right side, an arm wrapped around my waist as she rested her chin on my shoulder.

Zetta's question did rouse me from my little spacing out, blinking for a moment. I smile for a moment before I shift around to lean back against the railing of the balcony. I rest a hand on the demoness's hip as she pulls back a little, intrigued at what my answer was going to be. She placed a hand lightly on my chest as she spoke.

"Yes mi'lord. Why would you want to leave your beautiful queen all alone? That would no be right."

I sigh for a moment and reach over, taking one of Zetta's hand in my free one.

"It is a very tempting offer to take and a big decision for me. This is all wonderful, but I don't know. Is it really right for me to stay?"

Lynnira grinned softly as she reached down and rubbed over my soft cock and gave my sac a teasing squeeze, making me moan for a moment.

"I know this is perfect for me my king."

I chuckle softly for a moment before giving both of them a kiss on the forehead.

"Let me mull it over and sleep on it my sweet ladies."
 
Zetta

I was too tired to do much that evening, so I grabbed a spare room and got some much-needed rest. In the morning I woke up before sunrise. I got dressed in my adventure gear and went to find High Priest Merk. He was still asleep, but another senior priest, Rafe, was there.

“I want to explore the local jungle. I want to find out about its resources.” I explained.

Rafe was a human with chestnut colored hair with a calm, fresh, face. He had green eyes, and some tribal marks in the form of three stripes above and below his left eye. He was an average height, despite his light frame.

“My tribe lives near this temple. I will show you its resources. Follow me” He said as we headed out. As we walked outside the old walls of the temple, I ran across many natural resources that could support a base of operations. Food was plentiful. Plenty of animals, grazing lands could be made, fruits and vegetables could be grown. The rocky hill sides contained gold and iron ore, I was sure of that. But there might have been a few other useful elements in the rocks, but I'm not an expect in minerals. There was plenty of wood and a unique plant which produced rubber, a water proof sap.

“There is so much here” I told Rafe.

“Yes, wealth is everywhere” He agreed.

“But, is it possible to get it out of the jungle?” I asked him

He smiled and said “follow me”

He explained the jungle was vest with only tiny trading posts hacked from the vegetation along the river banks existed. As we got on top of the small hill, he pointed to a huge river headed back to civilization.

“The large river is very close to the temple.” I said excited.

“Yes, some clearing of the path from the giant vines and other plants and a means to trade is possible.” Rafe explained.

“Great, lets head back to the temple and I can join the others for breakfast” I said to him.
 
I awoke before Lynnira did, so I decided to go spend some time by myself on the balcony. Dressed in only a thin robe, I discovered the morning was slowly warming up. I sighed for a moment as I leaned against the railing to watch the sunrise.

I know I was set on returning my old life, but the ladies got me to thinking. As much as I wanted to go back, there wasn't really much of a life to go back to. Here, it was as if I had been given a new lease on life. It would be the adventure I had always been craving and then some.

"I've got nothing to lose out on....I'll do it!"

"Do what my king?"

I almost jump at the sound of Lynnira's voice from behind me. I smile as I turn to face her, holding a hand out to her. Her hand slips into mine as she pressed her nude body asked mine and kissed me lightly.

"I'll stay here. And build my empire."

Lynnira smiled for a moment before looking out over the jungle surrounding the temple. I turn and wave a hand over the expanse for a moment.

"This temple shall be the center of our empire. And I shall be it's ruler."

I smile for a moment before pulling Lynnira back to the room so that we can get dressed and address my new followers. I would also need them to get get things started in the right direction of building a new kingdom. Once dressed, we make our way to the main antechamber to get the ball rolling on things.

I made it to the room just as Jacob and Lynnira came out to head towards the antechamber. Since we were out of our private room, I used their formal titles.

“Lord Azarel and Queen Lynnira, good morning” I started “I have explored the surrounding jungle and found the land rich with resources. Food is plentiful. Crops can be grown, the rocky hill sides contained gold and iron ore, wood is abundant and a unique plant can produces a water proof sap called rubber.”

Jacob nodded at the good news.

“There is also a great trade route, the large river system through the jungle. What you lack is people. The group of priests is too small to hunt, work fields, dig the mines, and start up trade. You could add the slaves, which will help. But slaves run away, when not watched.” I explained.

“Lord Azarel, wishes to make this temple the center of his kingdom. He is planning on staying for a while and building it into an empire” Queen Lynnira said with a small knowing wink to me.

“That is good news.” I said with a smile “Empires can be built via different methods. Some are built largely through military conquest. Other with a combination of political alliances or political sabotage, religious conversion, or magic conversion. Lastly, some empires are made by offered the lower classes, like slaves, some level of citizenship in exchange for loyalty.” I explained.

Then I looked at Jacob “You’ll need to decide what kind of empire you wish, what kind of political control you want over your territory and people. And if you will achieve it by military, economic, magical, or cultural means.” I suggested to him.
 
As I stood listening to Zetta, I also took into account the number of followers I had. It looked like I had about 30 or so followers to my name. It was a modest number in my option and probably the most loyal as well. That would help get my plans rolling along. I gave a nod every now and then as Zetta explained things, good news overall.

"That is a wonderful start for us to be able to get things started via trade. I know you are probably wanting to know what I want to do right away, but any good empire wasn't built overnight. I believe my empire is going to have to be built via a mixture of those means, starting with the economic approach."

"My lord, you have plenty of -"

I place a finger on Lynnira's lips to silence her before she can finish her sentence bout the treasure we had found. While it would be a good base to start with, I don't want to be fully reliant on that for my flow of income.

"I have an idea that is a good start point to attracting people to us. Something that I am sure will be quite unique and a show of my power to create a base with."

I move to take my place on the dias in front of my gathered followers, Lynnira moving to kneel beside me. I look to her for a moment, since it is not something I asked of her to do. She simply grins up at me before looking away. I smirk and look out at my followers once more, hearing them whisper among themselves in awe and pointing.

"SILENCE!"

I yell for a moment, barely giving them time to comply. A few jump a little before quieting and kneeling down themselves to listen to me.

"I brought you here to tell you that we shall form a great empire. It is time to turn this world from it's ways of chaos and bring it under one rule, my rule. You each will spread the word of my power and greatness, bringing all to kneel. For too long the shadows have plagued this land and now is the time to banish them. It is time to show this world what power truly is. Now, make me proud."
 
Zetta

As I listened to Jacob’s speech, I was impressed by how well all the priests heeded his words. He was an inspiring leader. As the speech ended, the priests began to go to work. They started to gather their personal items and prepare for their trips. But I still did not fully understand Jacob’s plan. I decided to ask him.

"Lord Azarel” I said to get his attention. He turned to face me. “What is your idea. I’m not fully understanding?” I told him.

“The priests are going on a religious mission. A "missionary trip" to spread word of my existence to people everywhere. It is how we will get new converts. In my land, we’d even call the priests, missionaries, when making such a trip.” Jacob explained.

“Oh, missionaries. I like that term” I said. Then I asked “But why will the people come here? Will they get money? Power? Security? What?” I asked.

“They will get all of that. There a lot of work to be done and I can pay them, so they will get money. Money is power... but the smart ones will also be placed in charge, so they will gain additional power. And since they are with me, they get my protection. They will feel secure.” Jacob explained

“I’m understanding.” I said nodding my head. “Can I make one suggestion” I said, and quickly followed up with “With the priests leaving, we can no longer control the slaves. If you release the slaves and offer them some level of citizenship in exchange for loyalty. I think some of them will stay. Many nearby kingdoms have slaves. Your act will cause them problems. Slaves from around the area will come to your kingdom to be free. That might be another way to grow your empire.” I suggested.
 
I purse my lips for a few moments as I think of Zetta's idea. Releasing the slaves would help to boost the image of being a more open leader, but at the same time I would need some way to maintain underlying control. Without some benefit to make them stay, it would just be a loss of power before i even get started. Zetta's mentioning of a trade route did give me a bit of an idea to move things along. It would even go along with the other idea I had yet to mention to them.

I smile before reaching over and pulling Zetta closer and kissing her for a moment, chuckling at the surprise look for a moment.

"That is a wonderful idea of freeing the slaves. However, simply freeing them would mostly like go the way of running away without supervision. We will give a small amount of land to each one, which they have to build upon themselves. At the same time, they have to agree to work for us to expand the kingdom while getting paid for it as well."

I smirk a little for a moment.

"It probably sounds like they will be doing pretty much the same as before, but it's really no different than if they move away to some place else and get a house and job. And one more thing Zetta, I am making you my advisor. You will be my head advisor."
 
Zetta

After Jacob’s speech I moved in among the priests and answered any questions they had. “Lord Azarel wishes you to tell people of this promised land. Your trip is called a “mission” and you need to spread the word of his existence to people everywhere. Your new title is “Missionary”. As I explained their task I handed each of them a bag of gold coins. It was more money than many of them had ever seen. “Lord Azarel has caves full of gold coins. He is a generous ruler and pays well. People who do good work for him, are rewarded, those that don’t are punished. Lord Azarel is trusting you by offering you this money ahead of your mission. If you break his trust, runoff with this money. Lord Azarel wrath will be painful and horrible.” I explained.

“While you are away, Lord Azarel will free the slaves and provide each of them a small plot of land. They will earn a level of citizenship in exchange for loyalty. They will transform this valley into a paradise. The land is rich with resources. Food is plentiful. Crops can be grown, the rocky hill sides contained gold and iron ore.” I explained.

“Each slave will become a land owner? A lord?” One priest asked not believing what I had just explained.

“In a way yes, it would be a small plot of land. I think a better title would be landowner vice lord. But in this kingdom, the people that work hard will own their land. If lord Azarel needs people to help him, he will pay them. It is a fair system, where each party gains items of value in the exchange.” I explained.

“Can we become landowners too?” one the priests asked.

“After the completion of your mission, yes. But if you chose to continue your missionary work, Lord Azarel will pay you. Or if you chose to operate a shop, or become a craftsman, you can take your earnings and buy a shop for yourself. This kingdom offers its citizens freedom, but you must work hard.” I explained.

There was a buzz of excitement as the priests prepared to depart on their trips. I had not fully understood the power of Jacob’s ideas. But his ideas were more powerful than any magic spell I had seen. It was amazing to watch.
 
High Priest Merk waited till Zetta was finished speaking with the lower priests before stepping forward with the four remaining temple priests to address me. Looking over the other four, I took it to mean they had been given some higher rank that would allow them to oversee the other priests. Merk gave a bow for a moment.

"M'lord Azarel. Are you still wishing to have the ritual summoning chamber built? If we lose the slaves, then the work cannot continue as you like."

I smirked for a moment and shake my head.

"The slaves may lose their status as 'slaves', but that doesn't mean we are losing them. As Zetta explained, they are being freed, but given the chance to remain here and build up our glorious kingdom. Work will still be done, but it will be paid work for them. It may get done slower, but I expect it to get done. I will leave you to relay the news to our slaves that they are free and what they can do to remain here, if they like. I do expect some to leave, but i am sure a good amount will stay with the incentives I have offered. Now go and let them know."

Merk stood for a moment, as if he was trying to process my words. Seeming to be satisfied, he placed his hands in front of him and gave a bow to me before going to do as I requested. I then turn to the other four.

"With the change of regime, comes new responsibilities. I am going to need a good architect to help design the layout of our city, with this temple as it's center. I also need someone with military experience who can command my army. Plus someone who is good with numbers and money handling. What are your expertises?"
 
Zetta 4 month later

The sun was just rising as I looked out from the temple balcony. I sipped at a cup of coffee as Queen Lynnira, who was totally naked, joined me.

“It is quite something” I said to her, as I looked at the city below us.

“Lord Azarel’s vision is taking shape. It is truly amazing” She said

“I asked him, how he came up with the city’s design. He said he based it upon three elements, the nature topography of the land, functional locations of the buildings, and beauty.” I explained.

“It will be known as the most functional and beautiful city in the world!” The queen proclaimed.

“See how the roads form a grid, with the broader diagonal "grand avenues" leading to important site. The rectangular plazas and parks provide open space and beauty. He has provided running water to each house and business. Waste waters are taken away by a separate system.” I said as I pointed to the various construction sites. “All of this is possible because of his newly formulated cement and concrete. The use of gypsum and quicklime as binders make his concrete much harder.”

“I like how the hearts of the city are the marketplace, this temple, and the government building. Everything is strategically designed. The defensive structure and outer wall make the city difficult to attack. We have water and food inside the walls, so staving the city will be very difficult.” Lynnira pointed out.

“What about that giant statue of you on main avenue” I asked Lynnira

“Oh, that is nice too” The queen laughed.
 
I smile as I waited behind the two ladies, listening as they gossiped about how well things had turned out. I was pleased as well, finding things moving right along at helping to build a new kingdom. However, I felt the place was lacking something special.

"Yes, my dears, my city has been growing by leaps and bounds. But it's not got anything that makes it anything truly unique from other cities. It's missing softly."

I walk out to them as they look at me for a moment. Lynnira tilts her head a little with a questioning look.

"What do you mean by that my king?"

I move up to stand beside her as I point out towards an unoccupied area near the gate to the city. It was a place I had requested that nothing be built at.

"What I am saying is that that is nothing here that we can really help us to stand out. Yes, all the construction breakthroughs I introduce made the city a little more unique. However our city needs a special improvement to attract visitors and tourists that only we have. It's time I showed what I had planned before."

I smiled at them once more as I pull up my little inventory, searching for the right building I wanted to use. It takes a moment for me to find and place the rather large building. I lower my hand once it seems to magically appear.

"It's a hot springs resort. Feel free to name it what you like. We can take a little tour of the place in a little bit as I am sure you will love the place. It's like an inn, but on quite a bigger scale. It will truly make us stand out. It has about a hundred rooms, elegantly furnished with different size beds, several outdoor hot spring bathing areas, a workout gym, dining area, library, and a large indoor pool."

I knew they probably wouldn't understand most of what I was explaining to them, but it could be easily explained when we went on the tour of the place. I had no worries of anything being stolen from the building, as anything belonging to the resort would disappear as soon as it left the premises. It also had a never-ending supply of everything on the premises,except food, which would help to make it unique. The hot springs were also magically created to keep the hot springs at the perfect temperatures. Since I had control of the building, I could also change what was inside it as far as items for guests.

"We'll just need someone to oversee the place and keep things going. Maybe it can give you something to do Lynnira my sweet. You'll have to hire some staff to keep things going."

I winked playfully for a moment to her.
 
The Spa

Jacob idea of adding the spa to the city was brilliant. Lynnira’s eyes had sparkled in excitement at the different things she to do with such a building. In the end, she created a truly mystical and beautiful spa. The experience at the spa stirred and enchanted each guest’s soul in a different way.

Lynnira used her experience living in the shadow realm for thousands of years to produce a blend of elegance with serenity. Each guest room or suite was an abode of spirituality, solace and opulence. Part of the room was actual located in another plane of existence. It created a haven for those seeking bliss and peaceful retreat from their normal lives. The plane could be adjusted to each guest’s needs or desires.

Around the building was a walled off area, with gardens, fountains, and hot springs. Placed on higher ground, the spa provided views of the city and the stunning landscape of the jungle valley. Under Lynnira’s management, clothing was optional. She hired the most capable employees, but they were also stunning beautiful. Sex was a key tool to help harmonize the mind and tap into the potential of higher consciousness. The best healers were added, as well as, magic to enhance one’s appearance.

The name for the spa was difficult. Lynnira had wanted name it after her former lover, Alldite, the god of good feelings. But the god’s wife, had turned her into a demon for the affair, and forced her to marry the real Demon Lord Azarel. Any connection to that messy business might get her in trouble with the gods again. In the end, she decided on simply “The Spa of Good Feelings”. However, everyone soon called the Spa “Lynnira’s Tranquil Retreat”

When the spa opened, all the citizens of the city were allotted 1 day stay for free. The citizen experienced the pleasures of the spa and quickly the spa’s excellence spread like a wild fire to the surrounding kingdoms. The city became a mecca, for people seeking the spa’s healing abilities, beautification, and harmonizing one’s soul.
 
While everything was being built up, the priests had managed to get the summoning circle built and working. However, it didn't work out exactly as they had hoped. The performed summoning ritual didn't actually summon any demons or anything, but it did open up a portal to another world. A small exploration team was sent through to investigate the world which seemed to be in a state of perpetual darkness. Lynnira claimed it was the shadow plane, but things didn't seem to be the same as she thought. It seemed to be a plane of negative order, operated exactly opposite of their current world.

The changing of the ritual's words opened a different portal to a world that seemed to be a frozen wasteland. Further changing of the words didn't open any other portals, so Jacob had those two rituals kept.

Since a form of punishment system was needed, Jacob came up with what he thought was going to work. Those that performed lesser crimes, anything that didn't deal with bodily harm or death, were forced into joining the army for a set period of time. Offenders of the other types of crime were sent through the portal to the dark world to live and attempt to survive for the long sentences he had chosen. The most violent were sentenced to be exiled in the frozen world.

It was nearly a month later. after opening the spa, that Jacob was sitting in the main chamber of the temple on his throne. Lynnira and Zetta were sitting on their own little thrones to either side of him. The summoning circle laid out in the center of the main chamber, the open portal of the frozen wasteland shimmering in the air. Jacob pursed his lips as he watched the little trial of three men who had been caught shortly after murdering two families for their money. He had also setup the whole trial system as he had seen it on his world, trial by peers.

"I think it's time for a little vacation my sweet ladies. We've been stuck in this place for too long."

Mark was close enough to hear his lord, but he didn't say anything as he continued to watch the trial as well. The jury was just pronouncing the sentence, all three being sentenced to exile on the Ice world. A handful of the palace guards stepped forward, their spears lowered to force the men forward. Lynnira reached over and placed her hand on top of her king's.

"Are you sure we should leave now? We've barely started."

Jacob chuckled and nodded for a moment, lifting her hand and kissing the back of it for a moment.

"A few days away won't upset anything too much. We really should do a bit of meet and greet in the realm. Just the three of us. What do you think Zetta? Do you have any ideas of where we can go and visit?"
 
Zetta

"Well... The country of Algonia is vast, but the place is a shit hole. Also, I'm not welcome in that country." Zetta explained, but did not say why. "There is a large mountain range to the north, but I have no idea what is beyond it. Algonia claims those lands, but everyone knows the country’s border are those mountains. To the South is a large ocean, that is Algonia southern border. I do not know what is beyond the sea. To the East is a desert and a volcano, no countries. To the west is the country of Zorus. I think that might be a good choice." Zetta said and explained her thoughts.

"Algonia has strict laws, ruthless law enforcement, and a corrupt government. The people are hostile and the place has deteriorating infrastructure. In Zorus, the king actually care about his people and the hills are rich with minerals. The people of Zorus are friendly towards foreigners. They feel foreigners raise the country's well being. It has nice forests, waterfalls and good food.” She explained.

But if the trip is political, than maybe you want to go to the capital of Algonia. Their rulers will surely want to talk to you. By now, they might be raising an army to fight you." Zetta said.

He moved from his throne after the trials were finished, walking over to the large map that had been placed on the wall behind the thrones. He hmmed quietly, taking in everything that Zetta had told him. He chuckled a little for a moment as he tried to make sense of it all.

"If I am understanding how you've pointed things out, the northern mountain range should be Algonia's southern border, not the ocean here. That would mean the swampland I have claimed would belong to them and we would be in a bit of trouble."

He pointed the problem out with his finger for a moment before circling around the swampland.

"I think we would have already been invaded if the ocean here was supposed to be their southern border. When we return, I will dispatch cartographers to really map the swampland. I trust this map, but not really. In the meantime, I want to get a outpost setup here along the main northern road near the mountain range. If the cards are played right, this whole swampland will be mine."

He turned from the map before motioning to a servant. He wrote out his directions on a scrap of paper he had with him, telling the servant to get the instructions to his general about the outpost. Once he did that, he smiled to Zetta and his queen.

"Let's get ready and on our way to Zorus."
 
The Trip

Jacob, Lynnira, and myself rode west on some fine horses. The horse greatly increase the speed of the trip. This was a big help during the first part, where the swamp was the vilest, I have seen yet. The swamp was filled with black, decaying trees, slow moving rivers and murky, gloomy lakes. We made camp and the good news was the next morning, we started to journey up into the hills.

The landscape transformed quickly. It was gorgeous; terraced fields of green fields, clean blue rivers and dramatic mountain views. As we topped the hills, we entered an emerald forest. We made camp that night next to a small, hidden pond. The next morning, we enter Zorus formally as we exited the forest and crossed into more gorgeous farmlands.

The evening we made it to the town of Jurdeh. I knew nothing about this small town, locals told us it was famous for beautiful weather, beautiful people, excellent crossbows, and the best wine in the region.

We stopped at The Greasy Tusk. It was looked cheerful and beautiful on the outside. Softwood and marble stones made up most of the building's exterior. There were large windows looking over the small town’s streets.

After we tied up the horses in front of the place, we entered the tavern through a colorfully decorated, wooden door. It felt like they had come home for dinner, it was very cozy. The walls were packed with all sorts of travel memorabilia, most likely all collected by the owner. This we found out by asking the bartender. Above the bar were the HUGE tusks of dire boar.

I asked about the government and receive a long explanation. Apparently, various wealthy mercantile families appointed a ruler to run the country. The various merchant consortia ran various branches of the government. Many commoners typically made their living working in the fields, groves, or vineyards of these merchants' estates.

As we took our seats and waited for our food, I stated what was pretty obvious. “This is a pretty nice country. I can’t believe how friendly and beautiful the people are”

Lynnira smiled “I’d like to fuck some of them! In fact, I'd like to fuck most of them!”
 
I laughed for a moment at Lynnira's outburst of wanting to fuck everyone that she possibly could. After all, she had fucked other people while running the hotel. It did make me a little jealous that she would, but it was something we had agreed on. She was still my queen, but I wasn't always around to fulfill those needs.

"I have no doubt you would. Just remember, we're on a diplomatic mission so fucking every person isn't going to get us but trouble."

I had taken a few moments to look around while Zetta ordered our dinner and got information. It took me a few moments to spot the symbol I had seen when I first arrived in this world, an eye carved into the wall just above the antlers of the stuffed dire boar. I wondered if Zetta had noticed it as well, but I made no mention of sign that I had saw it. I had believed I had gotten rid of the cult, but it seems they were quite active in the north.

"While we're here, and in this country, I want you two to address me as Jacob. Not the other name."

"But m'lord..Why not-?"

I reached over and put a finger on Lynnira's lips to silence her from saying Azeral as I had taken. There were so many reasons that I couldn't explain to her now, that I couldn't explain to her just yet. I looked towards Zetta for a moment for her to back me up.

A large group of hoods figures were seated around a large wooden table somewhere in a darkened room. They were busy talking for a few moments when the figure at the head of the table raised his hand. Silence fell over the room as all head turned towards the figure.

"We need to discuss the preparations for attack. Brother Leroy, how are things coming on your end?"

One of the figures nodded their head for a moment before speaking.

"I have everything arranged to summon a powerful creature to start our path of chaos in the market place. All I need is your word."

"Good. Sister Seria, your task?"

Another figure on the opposite side of the first nodded as well.

"Yes. I am all prepared for the attack upon the royal throne."

The head figure stood up from the table as she finished. He clapped his hands together before bowing his head. The rest followed in suit. In one voice, they called out.

"Let chaos and destruction reign. All hail Azarel!"

Once done, the leader lifted his head.

"The time will come soon for our lord to rise. Go forth and make our lord proud."

With that, they all filed out.
