Zephy sat on her throne looking over the camp, many of the normal things continued to happen. Some women were sharpening their spears, some were preparing food for supper and some were giggling and running with other women, showing their affection. It was simply another day in the camp, like watching the same thing happen over and over again.

And it truly bored Zephy.

She wanted to do something different but ‘what?’ was the question.

Lately, there was little that interested Zephy, she could make love to some of the other women, but they simply didn’t satisfy her. She could go out hunting but there weren’t any animals that could give her a good challenge. She would go out into the world and adventure but she really didn’t want to, because of the cruelty of men she found no interest in going back out there to that disgusting world. She would need a good reason to which she didn’t have.

There was of course one last thing she could do, the creature in the ruin. Some of the tribeswomen had found a cave a few days ago and they had asked Zephy if they could move further into it. She had agreed, mainly because while the camp wasn’t overcrowded yet, she wouldn’t mind some extra room just in case. It also interested Zephy to find a new place so she allowed it, but soon her actions came at a cost. One day after they started to explore the ruin did they suddenly emerge from it with a horror story to tell.

They had lost one of their own and just managed to make it out, but they barely caught a glimpse of the creature, they said it was enormous with a pair of horns.

While Zephy wanted to go and kill the creature but the others had gotten a hold of her and told her it would be suicide. After her anger had cooled she told the group not to tell the others, they didn’t need a huge panic of their hands so everyone had kept quiet.

Zephy didn’t want to leave it like that but she had little choice, she could go down there but as she knew little about the ruin and the creature so it was unlikely she’d have any advantage against such a beast.

Zephy sighed, the more she thought about it, the more it irritated her.

Zephy felt a hand on her shoulder which made her turn look to see a young girl, roughly in her early twenties, looking down at the Zephy.

“Elder Zephyra! Me and the girls are going down to the Sacred Springs, we… were wondering if.. you’d like to join us?”

Zephy wrapped her fingers around to young girls hand and placed a kiss on her knuckles which made the girl blush.

“I would love to, but I need to think of a few things. So go ahead.”

The girls face was red as an apple as she turned and ran to the other girls. While Zephy did like all women, younger, older, fit, and skinny and so on, she didn’t find herself wishing to bed any of them as of late.

Sighing again, Zephy closed her eyes and nodded off.

……………

Zephy awoke with a start, unsure of how much time had passed, but judging from the height of the sun in the sky, it was likely just an hour or so.

She blinked a few times and through her blurry vision she could see three figures slowly walking towards her.

She could tell the one on her right was one of her tribeswomen; the one on her left looked to be an elf… but the one in the middle held her attention the most.

The figure looked similar… very similar; a figure that spoke to Zephy, from a long time ago. Zephy’s eyes widen as she focused more on the figure. It was like seeing a ghost, the hair was let down, reaching her shoulders, the body was strong, the height was good, the bust was… amazing.

But the closer the woman came to Zephy she almost lost her composure, the woman looked like…

“Gwenore…?” The question came out of Zephy lips in a quiet whisper, as if she was silently praying.

‘Was this what they mean when a ghost comes back to haunt you…?’

Zephy didn’t know but she wished it to be so. She could feel tears stinging her eyes and her heart beat harder and faster in her chest with every step the woman took towards her.

Zephy knew it couldn’t be her but it still didn’t stop her from becoming excited.

Swallowing hard, she sat up in her chair and looked down at the ground just so she could wipe her face from the tears that threatened to fall and looked back up at her to see more features.

The woman had sun-kissed skin, her arms and stomach was well toned, her face sharp, but perhaps the most interesting thing Zephy noticed was the woman’s eyes.

‘Hazel and blue eyes?’

The woman’s multicolored eyes truly made her an exotic beauty.

…And Zephy wanted her.

“My, my. What have we here?”

Zephy grinned as her eyes glanced at both the human woman and the Elven woman. Rest her elbows on her knees, looked at the human woman with deep interest.

“Well now. Who might these lovely women be?” Zephy briefly glanced at her tribeswoman, Elstra, who she had taught everything she knew.

Elstra responded. “I found them by the springs. It seems they wished to bath there.”

“Well now Elstra, you know that it’s fine if a woman bathes there. We are only interested in keeping men out of it.”

Zephy could see Elstra face grow slightly red through her bone helmet as she lowered her gaze.

“Yes, well…”

Zephy’s gaze returned to the woman with the multi-colored eyes and could feel a brim of excitement.

Clapping her hands together she quickly shook off the uncomfortable mood that seemed to settle around them.

“It’s quite fine Elstra. I’m not upset by this. In fact, I’m quite pleased.”

The multi-colored eyed woman frowned at her statement, as if trying to figure Zephy out.

“I apologize if our first impression was bad. We only wish to keep men away from here. We have no interest in this world that men seemed to have dominated.” Zephy got up from her seat. “My name is Zephyra. You may simply call me Zephy.”

The woman paused for a moment, clearly still unable to trust Zephy completely. This was something that Zephy was hoping to avoid, she hoped to woman wouldn’t try to sneak away. Of course she still had many things she wanted to ask the woman, and DO to the woman. Zephy quickly tried to think of a way to convince the woman to stay. Just as she was thinking of a way, the woman gave her name.

“Teela, and this is Sarya.”

“Teela is it?” Zephy smiled; relieved at the fact she gave it.

‘Teela…. Such an interesting name….’

“Well the Teela, Welcome to our camp. If you do not mind me asking; what brings an elf and a human across our path?”

Zephy could see that Teela was still hesitant. She only hoped that it wouldn’t persist for long.

“Well I’m here to help Sarya.” Teela turned to the elf, Sarya, and let her finish.

“I am simply traveling with Teela to help people in need. I have Manipulation magic which I am hoping to use to assist people with. I am able to control earth elements such as soil so I hope I could perhaps bless soils to allow crops to grow better.”

Zephy tilted her head and took in the information while tapping her chin.

‘So they are adventuring while helping people? Hmmm…. I wonder how such a thing came to be, did they agree on this or perhaps Teela wishes to accompany the elf, either way, it does make sense she is following her…’

Zephy had long spotted a ring that hugged Teela’s finger, it was clearly a wedding band but with a design on her hand, Zephy had heard of such things used by the elfs, the strange markings, but never seen it for herself. Zephy regained her train of thought and decided to use a recent problem to her advantage.

“I see… well we would certainly have use of such a thing. In this area our soil is lacking in quality so we can only look to the wilds for fruits, all which have lacking taste and quantity. So the only thing we can count on is hunting for animals to feed ourselves”

Teela tilted her head, thinking about something.

“However that is not the most pressing matter at the moment.” Zephy said.

‘Well… let’s see if she’ll bite.’

Teela frowned. “It’s not? Then what is?”

Zephy sighed. “It has to do with our new discovery. We have been exploring an ancient cave that we thought lead to some ancient dwelling. However when we reached farther in we… discovered something”

Zephy was trying to think of a way to keep her words true, yet to a point to where she wouldn’t scare Teela away.

“What do you mean by ‘something’?” Teela asked.

“What I mean is that we have encountered some kind of… monster. We have lost two of our kind and the ones who made it out only described it as a monster.”

Zephy began to pace back and forth. She remembered what the description the tribeswomen gave. It was suppose to be a monstrous humanoid creature that stood roughly seven to eight feet tall. 

“If that kind of monster were to find the door leading to our camp…” Zephy trailed off to let both, Teela’s and Sarya imaginations fill in the blanks.

Zephy turned to them. “But now that you’re here I was hoping you’d be able to help us. We were getting ready to go down the cave and hunt down this creature. I would be most grateful if you could join us, Teela”

Teela looked unsure, in fact, she looked ready to turn around and take off. Zephy watched as both Sarya and Teela looked at each other, one of her own tribeswomen leaned over and whispered in her ear.

“Elder Zephyra, I was unaware that you had planned to go down to the cave. Should I prepare some of our warriors?”

“Yes, please do.”

Zephy had been held back by the notion that the creature in the cave could very well best her, but now that a new person had come, a person that had a striking resemblance to Gwenore, her long lost lover and teacher. It was as if she had come back to her in the form of a younger, yet, kinder woman. If was as if destiny had called for her to prove her worth once again and she felt the overwhelming need to answer.

……………

Zephy, Teela and the five hunters that she had managed to muster were walking in the caves watching their surroundings. Zephy could see that Teela was very nervous by the fact she was in unexplored territories. Well… at least that had ended when they started to walk further down and they all could see drawing and such on the walls, the Teela started to show some interest.

Zephy, however, wasn’t really interested in such thing. Ancient history never really caught her attention she had never really liked to delve into it.

As they continued, Zephy was taking a few ‘peeks’ at Teela’s frame.  Her body… was definitely something that Zephy could appreciate. Zephy was especially interested in Teela’s rear, which had the right size for Zephy.

In fact, everything about Teela seemed to be right on for Zephy, and she was already fantasizing about how she would be in bed.

She was also thinking for a way to get her into bed.

Suddenly Zephy could spot some blood and she was pulled out of her fantasy as she knew exactly where they were.

“We are here, where the other had fallen.”

Zephy moved pass Teela and examined some dried blood on the floor. Her tribeswomen had said that the warrior who had fallen was Lynnie.

She was a young girl who was filled with spirit and heart. She had come from a house hold that had no desire for women. Her father had only wanted sons to rule his estate and when her mother had given birth to her, he wasn’t pleased. He, however, did receive a son later in her life and while she had a harsh upbringing, it only got harder as the son had grown into adulthood. Eventually, she had to escape the place, she had never told Zephy why she suddenly left the place or what made her suddenly want to but she never pressed for answers.

When Lynnie had found the village, she was deeply disturbed by how the village had allowed, or rather encouraged, lesbianism, but after a few years, she had become accepting of it.

….and even curious of it….

She had come so far in just a few short years.

When Lynnie had come down here, she was hoping to do it to help the village as they had helped her in her time of need.

It seems like the monster had bested her, which was what the hunters that came down here told her but she didn’t believe if until she moved towards found the blood stain.

It was impossible to say that it was, indeed her, but she was the only one who hadn’t come back from their exploring party.

It was rare to lose a hunter, and Zephy knew that it was a result of her own stupidity. She had wanted to send a party to find her but the whole affair had spooked the camp, even went she had a few hunters gathered they looked hesitant.

“Alas…. Dear Lynnie, you had helped more then I could even hope for… goodbye.”

As Zephy stood up, she could feel a bitter rage boil in her stomach.

“Come on! Let’s keep moving.”

Teela and the other tribeswomen seemed to be in agreement as they followed Zephy’s lead. If had been a long time since she had lead her people to fight and it sent a sense of familiarity through her.

With their eyes of their surrounds, they moved with caution.  Zephy was at the ready as she tried her best to keep her ears open, listening for any sound that she could decipher.

Suddenly, a loud roar sounded out and echoed through the halls.

Zephy feet suddenly felt heavy, as if her feet turned to rocks.

“W-What was that?” One of the tribeswomen stammered in fear. It was a fear that suddenly blanketed them all.

“Hold steady…” Zephy tried her best to sound confident and strong but even she was unnerved by the roar and the shaking of the ground. It rumbled with unspoken promise of a horrifying thing to come.

Zephy focused her eyes ad could see in a door stood a silhouette about 8 to 9 feet tall.

One of the tribeswomen dropped her torch and Zephy could hear the sounds of everyone scattering. Zephy however, stood her ground.

The beast slowly walked to her, snorting as if amused by her bravery. Not wasting another chance, she grabbed her battle ax and charged the beast head on, her fear was now gone and only replaced with a need for vengeance.

The monster roared and swung its arm wildly across, Zephy slid under the attack and returned the favor by bring her ax down of the beasts knee, making it stumble. She took the opportunity to stand up and get behind it, jumping on the creature. Its thick, dirty hair surrounded Zephy’s fingers as she pulled herself up to its shoulders. Zephy paused for a moment as she seen something sticking out of the beasts back: a spear head.

Zephy pulled the spear head out and stabbed the creature in the back of the throat with it.

Roaring and flaying its back, it threw Zephy into the nearby wall before running down the hall and out of sight.

Zephy groaned as she rubbed her throbbing back, standing up. As she regained her composure, she looked down at the spear head she got from the creatures back.

Lynnie.

On the spear head were a few beads covered in blood. It was common for her tribeswomen to decorate their spears with things they wanted to so they could distinguish them differently.

Zephy sighed and she put the spear head away and picked up her battle ax, she then went looking for the others.

……………..

Without much effort, Zephy had found the other tribeswomen, who were still shaking with fear.

“Elder Zephyra? W-We are sorry… we were… just…”

Zephy held up her hand to stop them. “It’s fine, but right now we need to find Teela as soon as possible.”

It seemed like her presence was enough to calm them as they agreed and started to follow her. After sometime, Zephy was getting more agitated.

“Teela!?” No answer.

“E-Elder Zephyra! You shouldn’t shout! That creature will hear you!”

Zephy knew that, but she couldn’t sit by. She needed to do whatever she could to find Teela.

“TEELA!? TEELA!? ARE YOU HERE!?”

Zephy waited, and got an answer.

“I’M RIGHT OVER HERE!”

Everyone turned and seen Teela walked towards them with a very large object in her hand, she was practically dragging it.

“Is that…?”

Teela threw the object in front of Zephy for all of them to see. It was a bulls head, which looked to be far larger then even her own torso. Its tongue lulled out and its eyes were rolled back. it was truly one of the most hideous creature that Zephy had ever seen.

‘Just what the hell is that…?’

Zephy looked back up at Teela.

“You… defeated it by yourself?”

Teela nodded. “Yeah, this is the monster that has stalked these halls.” Teela kicked it towards Zephy. “Here, take it.”

Zephy could hear some of the tribeswomen behind her mutter. “She’s giving her a trophy? She just came here and she’s already asking Elder Zephyra’s hand in marriage?”

Indeed, that’s what it seemed like. Teela had only arrived to help them out and yet, right now, she was already giving Zephy a trophy that was unlike any she could have hoped to receive. Zephy had hoped to perhaps bed Teela but this… this was more then she could have hoped for.

Zephy could feel heat rise in her cheeks.

 It was clear that Teela was unaware of their traditions worked… but Zephy wouldn’t allow such an opportunity to pass by.

“You’re… giving this to me?” Zephy had to make sure.

Teela nodded. “Yes, here. Take it.”

Zephy picked up the head and nodded at Teela.

“Alright company! It’s time we return and give the good news to the others.” Zephy’s tribeswomen cheered at her words and they departed.

…………………….

Zephy had arranged a huge feast to take place for the news, with many partaking and cheering. Zephy however, wasn’t with them at the moment. There was one thing that she needed to do before. She headed to a small hut away from the party, opening the door, she peered inside.

Sitting at a table with a small cup of tea, a little old woman looked glanced up at Zephy and smiled.

“Well… Elder Zephyra, what brings you here?”

“I’m here for two things…”

Zephy pulled out the spear head and placed it in the old woman’s hand. She looked it over for a moment before sighing sadly.

“Lynnie….” She looked up at Zephy. “It’s never easy to accept when we lose someone…”

Zephy placed a hand on the old woman’s shoulder. “Yes, but that’s the world we grew up in Marla… the only thing we can do is mourn them.”

Marla sighed and shook her head. She slowly stood up and moved to a large open wall where more spear heads hung. There were more the Zephy cared to count. Marla placed the spear head on the wall and turned around.

“Is that all you came for…?”

Zephy shook her head and she pulled out a horn that she cut off the beast from the ruins. She handed it to Marla. Marla took it and looked at Zephy with an arched brow.

“Is this for a wedding bracelet?”

Zephy nodded.

“Well… I never thought I’d see the day you’d accept someone’s marriage proposal. At least not before you grew old…” Marla smirked.

Zephy cringed inwardly. “I’m not that old… I’m only twenty-seven…”

Marla chuckled. “Well then… I’m guessing it’s the new girl who came in?”

Zephy nodded. “Yes, I need it done quickly too…”

Marla nodded and moved to the back, after a few minutes later she came back out with a wedding bracelet.

“Here you are. I guess you well be leaving with that girl, I doubt she will be staying so you need to go with her am I right?”

Zephy nodded once again. “Yes.”

After some more words, Zephy left the hut and headed back to the camp where the party was still going on. Zephy could see that Teela was still sitting in the same spot with Sarya, taking in much of the meat and drink. Some of the tribeswomen took note of Zephy ad she nodded to them. They immediately started to get closer to Sarya to distract her, asking her questions.

Zephy took the opportunity to approach Teela.

“Teela, I would like to speak with you in privately.”

Teela glanced at Zephy and nodded.

“Alright, if that’s what you want.”

Teela stood up and followed Zephy to her personal hut. Zephy had Teela entered her hut and sit down on the bed.

“I would like to talk with you but first I need to take a look at you”

Teela blinked in confusion. “Look at me? What do you mean look at me?”

“I want to see if there are any injuries on you” Zephy insisted.

Teela looked up at Zephy with some suspicion.  “I’m fine. I don’t nee-“

“You won’t allow me to help you at least a little? After all, we were separated and we thought we lost you…”  Zephy continued to pressure Teela.

Teela finally sighed in defeat and leaned back. “Alright, I guess I’ll allow it” 

Zephy smiled in relief and raised Teela’s arms to look around Teela’s stomach.

“So I’d like to ask you something; do you like the elf?” This was something that Zephy was curious abou, not their love but their relationship.

Teela paused in confusion.

“Well, yes of course” Zephy had only now noticed that there were strange markings on her hands as well, which seemed to be some sort of Elvish design.

“I see… I also noticed this” Zephy tapped the ring on Teela’s finger. “I wonder… is this…?”

“Yes it is.” Teela answered.

‘So… it is a wedding ring? Interesting….’

“Hmmm… I had heard that elves allow such a thing but I never knew” Teela was scowling as she looked to be deep in thought. Zephy figured that the time to pounce was know and pulled out a pair of iron cuffs, she quickly closed one of them around Teela’s wrist. *Click*

Zephy could feel Teela freeze up, her head leaned back to look up at her cuffed wrist with a look of confusion. Her expression turned to reliaztion and before she had a chance to say anything, Zephy picked her up and threw her on the bed and cuffed the other wrist around the bedpost.

“W-W-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?” Teela cried.

“Take a guess…” Zephy moved her hand to her fur bra and skirt and pulled the string that held it, letting it fall to the ground. Teela’s face turned white as she examined Zephy’s body.

“Do you like?” Zephy grinned.

Zephy didn’t waste a moment as she jumped onto Teela and started at her neck, kissing and nipping at it. She then moved to Teela’s mouth, but she turned her head away.

“So… you really do like her?” Zephy breathed. “Those lips of yours, they are for her, no? So it would be wrong of me to simply take without permission.”

Zephy started to pull at the buttons on Teela’s vest… “But… I still want something else” Teela watched with a stirring panic in her eyes as Zephy undid the buttons and unbuckled on her belt. Zephy knew she didn’t have much time before the elf made her way here to find out what they were doing so she pulled Teela’s pant down roughly and shoved her shirt up to expose her perfect set of breasts. 

Continuing o ‘work’ with speed, she latched her lips on the exposed beast and squeezed it. Teela reacted by thrusting her hips up.

“Ah… n-no… don’t… do that…” She panted, and their eyes met.

”Your moans are quite sexy” Zephy grinned.

Zephy played with one breast then the other and back again for a few moments before moving down between her legs. Her glorious hair was small and her moisture was creating a small wet spot on the fur blankets.

‘So… she has a submissive side…’  

“Do you want this?” Zephy asked rhetorically.

“Y-YES! JUST…” Teela cried and panted. Zephy could see that she was at her limit and ready to climax.

Without another word, Zephy buried her face between Teela’s legs and lapped at her moisture, Suckling and nipping at it. She looked over Teela’s hair to see her writhen and twist at the pleasure she got.

“Tastes like honey…” Zephy breathed, unsure if Teela heard her.

It seemed like Zephy was right before because within a few moments, Teela’s eyes rolled back as she climaxed and her body shook and trembled.

 She had finally calmed down, and Zephy stood up to grin and look at her eyes.

“Was it that good?” She asked.

Before Teela had a chance to answer, the doors to Zephy’s hut burst open.

“Teela! What are you…?” The elf trailed off as she seen Teela lying on the bed, without a word she moved to her side and held her up.

“Teela?” She looked to Zephy “What is going on here!?” She demanded with an intense glare in her eyes.

“Well… we were consummating our love and finishing a final step” Zephy answered.

Even though Teela was still recuperating her their… moment, she still wore a confused face.

“What do you mean by ‘final step’?” The elf asked.

Zephy crossed her arms over her breasts.

“Well it’s simple. But I shall explain it. We have a tradition here, in order to appease each other we give them a trophy to impress. When Teela killed the monster in the caves she gave me the head as a trophy. She gave me a proposal.”

The slow realization came over Teela’s face.

“When she did this she; by our tradition, asked for my hand in marriage and I accepted” Zephy finished the explanation, which left a deafening quietness in the hut.

They looked to be thinking about what Zephy had just said. Of course, her explanation wasn’t… completely true. First; the woman needed to approach her and ask what would be a suitable trophy to please the woman and then the one who asked had to get it… but they didn’t need to know that.

 “I see…” The elf was quiet as she looked back at Teela.

‘Oh… I almost forgot…’

Zephy spoke again “I accept her proposal and so…” She move to Teela’s side and grabbed her hand. She turned away as she placed the final thing she needed to do: The Marriage Bracelet.

When the person returned with their trophy, it would be used to make the Marriage Bracelet.

 “This is our marking to prove our marriage” Zephy raised her hand to show a matching Marriage Bracelet.

Suddenly, the elf’s gaze turned back at Zephy to glare her down.

“Well I’ll have you know that we are married as well so I don’t think this sort of thing is possible!” 

Zephy arched a brow.

‘Well…. I guessed I should have expected that she wouldn’t be happy..’

 “I’m well aware of this. However you shouldn’t think of this some sort of breach. Love isn’t something that should be taken by one person alone”

Zephy moved closer to Sarya.

“Love is something that can be given to many people if ones heart is big enough. I believe that is why you married Teela is it not? Teela has showed all of us how big a heart she has and how much courage she wields with it”

Teela’s face redden slightly at Zephy’s words.

The elf looked back at Teela and then back at Zephy. “You’re right, it is the reason…” She stood up to meet Zephy on eye level.

For a moment, Zephy could see a spark of respect in her eyes.

“Very well… I’ll allow it. But I’m still unsure about how you will show your love to her.”

Teela looked to be un such shock that she couldn’t even form any words.

Zephy handed Sarya a key to unlock Teela’s cuffs and she sat up.

“S-Sarya… what do you mean you’re fine with this?” Her tone was one of disbelief.

The elf signed. “Well… I’m not completely fine with this but…” She trailed off to mutter “She is right to say you have a big heart so…” She raised her voice again “I’ll allow it”

Teela’s jaw slacked at the elf’s words.

“Well now that that’s finished it seems the feast is over so it is time for bed” Zephy cooed in satisfaction.

They all laid in Zephys bed, the elf unclothed herself and took one of Teela’s arms and spent some time giving Zephy a pouty look. But Zephy didn’t mind, she finally had a beautiful wife so the night would be spent in true satisfaction.

Zephy slowly drifted off to sleep, ready for the morning to come.

……………………………

They had woken up and when they left the hut, a loud cheer sounded out and Sarya and Teela faces burned with heat when they realized that Zephy’s Tribeswomen knew what happened. They wasted no time in giving them wedding gifts and loading it on the Wagon they had brought last night.

When Zephy had got onto the wagon, Teela had asked her if it was ok to leave her people because she was the leader. Zephy informed her that they were a free people and weren’t really tied down to a leadership. Plus, Zephy was only a guide.

As they finally made their way out of the camp, Zephy had taken one of Teela’s arms and hugged it, making sure that she pressed her breast on it.

Sarya had done the same thing with another pouty face.

It would be a long trip Zephy was sure, but it would be one that she would take full advantage of and enjoy it to the fullest.
