I stared blankly at my feet not really thinking about anything as I mindlessly followed the tall brown boots belonging to an undead who pigged back with us for an unimaginable amount of health potions. Like, my own village had half a vial of that miracle water for the chief's use only! It is one of these things you just don't sell ever to anyone and use them only in the most dire situations. I never thought I would see more than two potions beside each other in my life and then an undead elf travelling with a strange human girl at the brink of death, paid Shiro and me to lead them into Nishimine with twenty health potions which the girl pulled out, out of nothing. Shiro only took sixteen vials since none of us planned on gathering anything more than minstrel roots on our journey.
Shiro shared with me four of these invaluable potions, I couldn't really complain about it since she was the one who knew the route through these tunnels and that was what Iris was paying for. We could have probably thrown something out and stuffed the remaining four potions into our backpacks but even I felt a little bit sad for the undead with a stone mask for a face which cracked with a worried expression whenever the human girl winced from pain. Another reason why I didn't hold anything against Shiro keeping most of the potions for herself was that I wouldn't have accepted the undead offer back then.
I was still uncertain how to feel about the two strangers. Iris smelled like death although not as much as the undead I had previously encountered and it was quite clear that she was some sort of undead who was once an elf. The girl on the other hand was shrouded in mystery. Her body gave off a faint floral and earthy scent without any hint of death lingering above her, although the earthy smell could be coming from the tunnel itself. Her body was ice-cold to the touch and black slime-like blood leaked through her bandages causing rock-like plates to appear around her arms as her blood dried up. Shiro and I discussed who the girl might be and I'm pretty certain that Kia is a necromancer who had created or dominated Iris but Shiro told me after ensuring that the roar of the stream blocked their words from being heard that the girl might have a disease called Blackroot which she saw somewhere in the north-west where people are also very pale. From what she told me the disease sounded similar to what the pale girl was experiencing although not entirely the same. She also explained that other races such as humans and elves have a thing called relationships which she explained was sort of like our mating season but instead of lasting three moons, the relationship lasts an entire lifetime and even beyond and limits the amount of mates they can have to one.
Fuck that! I sometimes want to claw out my crotch from the constant heat which becomes an unbearable pain if I don't relieve myself. Do other races shag like Usagi all day every day? How do they have enough time to do literally anything? Also, the two are females of two different races which are not that pretty, what would be the point of them even joining in that torturous thing? From what I heard elves are particularly ugly from the intelligent races because they are completely hairless little twinks with no muscles or tails with their only saving grace is their height. Iris did have some muscles and she was half a head taller than Shiro and me but my heart wasn't convinced to see her as passable to look at, even if she was stronger than Shiro there was something about showing off your power which was undeniably hot, unlike the undead elf who kinda hid her power. Kia on the other was smaller than any of us and appeared to have no hair except the ones on her head but that strange sentiment I felt toward her prohibited me from calling her ugly. Although if she grew a pair of ears and a tail maybe I would...

"Nakatei?"
"Y-" I felt my ass hit the stone floor as I bounced off Shiro who suddenly stopped. "Why did you stop?"
"Because I wanted to," Her crimson eyes looked down at me before giving me an annoyed look leaving me sitting on the ground confused about what I did wrong. "We stopped to rest."
"Oh." Before Shiro stopped talking I felt my feet begin to hurt from our non-stop walking.
"You can go if you feel like you need it." Shiro held out her hand.
"I don't think I n-" Before I could finish I felt my body flaring up causing me to pant uncontrollably. "Never mind."
I took the hand offered to me before jogging away from the group. It took me a while to distance myself enough to make sure the elf wouldn't hear me.
"That was close." I leaned heavily on the wall and slumped onto the ground as I almost rip my clothes off my body.
Although my hand left many things to desire I felt the heat subside as I made myself reach climax alongside all my strength leaving me a panting mess.
"Oh, no," I looked down and saw that I haven't pulled my pants fully down. "I don't have a spare." I touched my pants with my other hand and felt their fabric which was completely soaked and slowly dripping with my juices.
"What do I do now?" I said aloud as I experimentally slipped my pants up. Not only was it very visible that they were wet but also I couldn't bare with the uncomfortable feeling of wet fabric touching my inner thighs. "It would have been so much easier without the two. I could bare Shiro laughing at me but at least she understands that is my first time unlike the-"
Before I could finish speaking to myself I felt my crotch being set on fire once more. It wasn't a slow and tingling sensation slowly driving me insane but it was a sharp and painful call of nature as my hips began to quiver.
"I already made a mess..." Feeling exhausted but unable to resist my body's hunger I slipped my right hand in my pants and touched myself.
I felt my head jerk backwards and hit the stone wall as my body was shocked by my finger going inside me. I opened my eyes and saw that I was surrounded by pitch darkness
"Huh? Did I knock myself out?" I looked around me and saw nothing but an endless night staring back at me.
"No, my child." I snapped my body around and saw a tall humanoid shape quickly approaching me, the thing appeared to be made from a swirling night sky with dozens of stars twinkling in its form.
"Who are y-" I tried to move away but the thing grabbed my head.
In an instant, I felt my system going haywire as my shaman class began to glow swiftly becoming too bright to look at and drowning me in its light. Once more my mind felt like being chucked by something as the light disappeared, replaced with the endless void from before.
What is happening to me?!
I felt like curling into a ball and waiting for whatever was torturing me to get bored but I found my body unresponsive, forced to stare at one point in the void. Seemingly birthed from nothing, colourful dust began to dance in the windless void. A vision of a pool surrounded by stone spikes coming out of the cave's ceiling and floor appeared in front of my eyes before being scattered into a plum of dust. The cloud swirled around me before reforming into another vision.
A black-furred cat with blue and golden eyes was lying lifeless underneath a leaf belonging to a flower with blue and black petals. My body moved to grab the cat causing the plant to wrap its leaf tightly around the cat's body. As I pulled on the cat's neck the dust making the plant scattered into the air before creating the image of the pool once more. My arm lowered the black cat into the pool causing the water inside to turn black. The cat slipped from my grip and jumped out of the pool, full of energy.

"Visit me, young shaman but only you and another can come." An ethereal voice sounded inside my head once more before I felt my mind being released from the spirit's clutches.
