We went back inside the hut they originally put us in and I checked on the girl. She was still unconscious but was breathing so I sat on the ground cross-legged and the girls sat in a circle with me. I was still holding my right side and I closed my eyes, trying to use the same process to heal my side that I used on my shoulder. I was able to do it, but it was much more difficult, especially with Jaz’s sarcastic mouth spouting something that made me want to laugh every few moments.

Once it was healed I pulled my shirt off and looked over the wound to find a ragged scar. I held up my Metalica T-shirt to find several holes in it and the whole thing sopping wet with blood, only about half of it was mine. I sighed and dropped it in the dust, I'd loved that shirt.

“Scott!” Becca said with exasperation, “fucking start talking already”.

I tried, and failed, to wipe my hands off on my pants but they got soaked too. I started from the beginning when we were in that hellscape and encountered the Statue of Azgollan all the way up untill I had Destroyer in my hand. “That's all I know guys.”

And Jaz decided to sum it up in her special way, “So we piss off an interdimensional cult, get sent to a hellscape and find a demon that gives you powers to fight that cult. He then sends us here so you can find his special weapon and we just happen to show up when this Tomalin guy has a grave robbing expedition underway. They all think I’m a witch because they vote republican and have been using slaves to try and get through the traps in the temple. Now he has your extra special metal dildo of death and we have no way to get it back, no way to get home and no idea what to do or where to go from here.”

“You forgot, we don’t have any money and we don’t even know how close the nearest town is,” I added for her. Jaz just threw her arms up dramatically.

Haley spoke up with her soft voice before anyone else could yell at me, “that Tomalin guy would probably have had his own tent and since he just ran off, he probably left everything in it.”

“You’re right.” I said and she blushed at the praise, “great idea”. I stood up and made for the door, “Haley, you stay here and watch over her” I said, pointing toward the girl on the ground. “Jaz, Becca, why don’t you two see if you can find any money on any of the bodies.” The two girls followed me from the hut and I made for the direction we first saw Tomalin appear.

“Great, we get to root around in disgusting flesh chunks.” I heard Jaz say behind me.

It didn’t take long to locate Tomalin’s setup. He was using the last hut in the row as his own personal office and bedroom. I tried not to touch much because my hands were still a mess and I got lucky. He had a map sitting on his desk but it was curled up on both sides. I could only see enough of it down the center to be able to tell that it was a map. There were a couple chests against one wall and a smaller chest under the desk, almost hidden.

I left the hut and looked around. The trees on this side of the temple ran down a hill and as I looked over I could see the last of the day’s sunlight reflecting off a body of water at the base of the hill. I made my way back to Becca and Jaz as they rooted around in the pockets of some of the dead men. “There’s a lake or something at the bottom of the hill over there.” I said, pointing. “I think I should go down there and take a bath to scrubb some of this blood off before I touch any of the papers he had in the office.”

The sisters looked at each other for a moment before looking back at me with wide eyes. “I’m going with you” they said at the same time. “Haley too,” Jaz added.

“I’ll be okay” I said with a chuckle

“No Scott, you don’t get it.” Becca said with a glance at Jaz.

Jaz continued for her, “We’re not worried about you. We just saw you straight up murder fifteen assholes and chase off the rest. We’re not worried about you. We’re worried about us.”

“And to be totally honest, I would kill for a shower right now.” Becca said with a crooked smile. They looked at each other again. “So yeah, we’re going with you.”

I just shrugged as Jaz went and came back with Haley. There was no way I would win this and they were right, I needed to protect them. "What about the girl?" I asked all three.

"She's still unconscious." Haley said. "I tried to wake her up but I wasn't able to. I think they drugged her."

As I thought about her I came to a realization. "She's probably some kind of kidnapped noble." Confused faces stared back at me. "Well think about it, you can bet the men that were here would have treated her differently if she was a slave. They would have raped her for one, and they would not have drugged her to do that."

"For two, Tomalin kept her out here in a hut and didn't try to send her into the temple. And three, she is wearing dirty, but quality made clothes. He probably had the idea of ransoming her. Either way we'll have to wait for her to wake up." Before I could stall anymore Becca and Jaz each looped in arm with mine and started dragging me down the hill with Haley following closely behind.

We came to a stop in front of a small lake, no more than three hundred yards across. The water was clear and small plants like lily pads grew along the edge of the water. Frogs croaked and I saw a dragonfly hovering just above the water before it flew off. The moon and a few stars were reflecting off the water even though it wasn't fully dark yet. It was beautiful and the ambience of the entire place was a little bit magical.

Then my arms were released and I looked to my left just in time to see Becca unzip her shorts, revealing pink panties beneath. I snapped my head up and forward and the realization of what was about to happen hit me. I kept my eyes focused on the water and reached to remove my shirt, only to remember I wasn't wearing one. I forced myself to ignore the sounds of clothing being removed around me as I unbuttoned my jeans. I pushed them down and they dropped to my knees. Before I could step out of my shoes Jaz came around and stood in front of me; she was completely naked. My eyes snapped to hers before I let them start roaming over her body and I swallowed hard.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

“It’s ok, Scott,” Jaz said softly. “You can look.” Instead I looked back to Haley who was still wearing her underwear, but she was no help because all she gave me was a smile and a wink. Then Jaz took my right hand and put it on her left boob. It was at that moment, my control broke. My other hand came up and before I knew it I was massaging her breasts while she looked on with a smile. “It’s okay Scott. I know it’s been a long time since you've touched em.”

Her skin was proclin white and her breasts were impossibly soft. Both filled my hands to overflowing. Her nipples were small bright cherry red bumps that grew as I dragged a fingernail gently across them. I adjusted how I was holding her breasts and bent forward. I ran a finger around one nipple before putting it in my mouth and suckinging lightly. I was thoroughly entranced, completely forgetting about where we were or the others around us.

“Nut Check!” Jaz yelled, before slapping me in the balls with the back of one hand.

Everything went white and I gasped in pain. “Aaahaah!” I fell to the ground holding my balls with both hands and screaming in pain. “Ahhh, fuck.” I sucked in a breath while I rolled around a bit. Then I heard laughing. “Fuck you Jaz. Ahh, god damned it.” I hissed in pain and tried to use my powers to subdue the pain.

“Hey, I said you could touch, I didn’t say you could do anything more than that.” Jaz said from the water and I looked at the lake. All three girls were neck deep in the water and watching me roll around in pain.

‘Everything has a cost,' I thought to myself. I’d been rock hard while I held her boobs but now I was a limp noodle so I took the opportunity to strip and get into the water. All three watched me intently as I stripped and walked into the water. I really couldn’t say much about the smiling scrutiny or I knew these three would jump on me as a hypocrite in a heartbeat; and besides, I didn’t have anything to hide.

Once in the water I reached down and grabbed a handful of the dirt from under the water and rubbed it into my skin anywhere I saw blood. All three girls were neck deep so they were at least twenty feet away from me. I was halfway between them and the shore and the water only covered me to my waist. I looked up when I heard a laugh to find all three staring at me in amusement while they whispered back and forth. I just sighed and ignored them.

I knew that the only reason Jaz let me feel her up was to distract me so the others could get in the water without me getting a look at them. I was also fully aware that these three trusted me implicitly or they would not have been in the water with me now, even like this. Jaz has been my best friend for twenty-ish years now and I have always treated Becca and Haley with respect. I knew nothing more would come of this, not today at least. Jaz was not only with Haley, but she had declared herself a lesbian a few years ago. Becca had a boyfriend back home and any decision to terminate that would be purely on her.

I scooped up another handful of dirt and worked at a dark patch of skin on the back of my right hand. The water dripped from my hands and the ripples made me think of my powers. While wielding Destroyer I had felt like a god. The power had been intoxicating. Even though I’d been hurt, the strength had eclipsed that while I had been engaged in the fight. No, while I was angry. When I was angry I hadn’t felt the pain. The avatar's words about using my emotions to guide the power came back to me. He’d said to let my anger define my intentions.

As I watched the blood come off I realized that also extended into the way I was able to heal myself. I allowed the pain to focus my intentions to heal, and it did. Ripples radiated away from me and my thoughts followed them. While fighting the men I had harnessed every kinetic wave in my body, amplifying each wave to its maximum potential for each swing of the weapon; but, what if there was another way? I dropped the dirt from my palm and watched it splash into the water. The ripples moved across the water breaking and negating other ripples. I felt like I was on the cusp of understanding something critical and I couldn’t tear my eyes off the water.

I slapped my hands together as hard as I could and channeled the kinetic wave that impact created as it rippled through my body. I closed my eyes and just followed it, altering it here or there to make it bounce or split or join into a larger wave. I lost track of time as I did this and only snapped out of it when I heard “Scott, are you okay” come from one of the girls. I was so focused on the power I couldn’t even tell which one had spoken.

I opened my eyes and looked up to the three floating heads that bobbed on the water's surface. With an evil look on my face I lowered one hand to the surface of the water. The moment my finger touched the water a thunderous explosion shot away from the point of impact. The water around me cavitated enough that my knees were suddenly exposed to the air and a wave three feet high raced away from me in every direction. All three girls screamed as the wave engulfed them in only a second. But just as quickly it was gone and they were coughing up water.

The water had quickly collapsed back around me and I considered the wave I still had rebounding within my body. I crouched and leapt forward with my legs together and straight. I pulled a fraction of the wave off and shot it down my legs to propel me forward, then I repeated it, again and again and after only a few seconds I was moving forward through the water at crazy speeds. Legs straight and together, arms out to the side and chest puffed up with head back; I skimmed along the surface of the water faster than I could run on land. It was like I was skiing behind a boat, but with no boat. I looped back around until I was near the girls.

Then I leaned back and let my legs drop under me. With a lot of focused concentration I was able to raise myself from the surface of the water. I was standing on the water and the amount of kinetic energy I was pouring into it caused the water at my feet to boil. I released the wave I’d been harnessing and fell back into the water. Unfortunately, all of my energy went with it. I felt like I’d just run a ten-k marathon and I was exhausted, so much so that I was having trouble keeping my head above water. “Oh shit, help!” I called to the girls.

Just as I began to flounder I felt arms wrap around me from behind followed by two breasts pressing into my back as I was pulled to the surface. “Thank you” I managed while gasping for air. I managed to look over my shoulder and see enough to tell it was Becca who had saved me. She was swimming backwards, using her body to support mine until we were in the shallows.

“You’re just lucky I was a lifeguard for three summers.” She said once we were close enough to shore that we could stand. She let go and backed away but held onto one of my arms to make sure I was stable.

“Are you okay Scott?” Haley asked with wide eyes as she and Jaz floated over.

“Yeah, I’m okay, just a little wobbly.”

“That was crazy, the way you moved through the water like that, and you even stood on it.” Jaz said in shock.

“I was experimenting with the power. While I'm using it, I can control how much power I use and I can even create more. I didn’t know that before. I was just using everything into every hit when I fought those men. But I can do so much more with it. I wasn’t expecting it to take so much out of me. The entire time I held the power it was fine, I wasn’t tired at all. When I let it go and stopped focusing, that's when the exhaustion hit me.”

“Well next time you dunk us like that I’m kicking you in the balls, with my boots.” Jaz said through pink lips, and I realized she'd washed off her makeup and black lipstick.

“That’s fair I guess. Let’s get out of the water, I’m so tired I feel like I'm about to pass out.” I walked ahead of the girls and I could tell from the sound that we all emerged from the water together. I was rocking back and forth on my feet badly enough that I didn’t dare try to get dressed, I surely would have fallen over. I just grabbed my clothes and headed for the hill. The girls did the same and the last thing I remembered was stumbling through the door of a hut.
