Oleksandr and Thekkur, having pushed the memory of the girl to the back of their minds for now, continue to make light-hearted banter as they travel for days, the journey ahead both exciting and unpredictable. As the sky fades to a deep indigo, the men begin to search for a place to set up camp for the night. They travel through the forest for days, and after a long day, they find a small clearing in the forest, a safe and secluded spot nestled deep in the trees, drawn there by the sound of a peaceful, bubbling hot spring close by, and the scent of sulfur. They set up their camp and make a small fire, the flickering orange light casting moving patterns on the foliage around them.

As they approach the spring, steam rises from the water and wafts through the air, like an oasis in the middle of the forest. The brothers share a glance, the thought of a warm, soothing bath after a long week of walking too tempting to resist. They approach the hot spring, the steam making their muscles relax in anticipation. They strip off their armor and clothing, the cool air sending a chill across their bare skin. Oleksandr slowly enters the hot spring, the steaming water immediately enveloping him in warmth and comfort, the heat loosening his sore muscles, and he lets out a sigh of pleasure as the heat from the spring soaks into him. He leans against the smooth rocks around the edge of the spring, and that's when his relaxation is broken by Thekkur violently leaping into the hot spring, causing a splash of water to soak his head. Oleksandr lets out an annoyed growl as he sputters and shakes his head, wiping the water away from his eyes.

"Hey, you asshole!" Thekkur emerges from the water, shaking his hair out like a wet dog.

"Haha! Wow, this is great." Oleksandr glares at his brother, still annoyed by the unexpected splash. But he can't deny that the hot spring does feel great. The warm water soothes his muscles and rejuvenates his body, the night sounds of the forest and the bubbling water calming his mind.

"Yeah, it's not half bad," he mutters, a hint of grudging agreement in his tone. As they enjoy the relaxing warmth of the hot spring, a small ripple of movement catches their eye. They glance down into the water, seeing a hint of shadow moving under the bubbles. The brothers exchange a wary look, their senses on high alert. As the shadowy figures under the water begin to take shape, the brothers' eyes widen in disbelief. Emerging from beneath the bubbles are four figures that look like women, but their bodies are like living liquid, their skin and hair flowing like a river, blending in with the water surrounding them.

Their appearance is both beautiful and eerie, a stark contrast to the natural surroundings of the forest. Oleksandr and Thekkur are frozen in shock for a moment, unsure of what to make of the watery figures before them. They watch as the figures move through the water with an almost hypnotic grace, their bodies undulating like the current of a stream. They have never seen anything like this before, and a sense of both awe and caution washes over them. As the men watch, the figures continue to materialize and transform before their eyes, becoming more solid and flesh-like with each passing second. Their bodies still hold a hint of transparency, but their physical form is more defined now. Their hair, long and flowing. is a deep blue, like the depths of the ocean, and their skin is fair and unblemished. Their giggles and laughs sound playful and mischievous, like the high-pitched voices of girls. They swim over, surrounding the brothers, their faces coy and friendly.

"Who... are you..?" One girl asks, her eyes large and pretty, her voice soft yet it holds a slight ripple to it, like dribbling water. They are surrounded by the nymphs, their fluid bodies encircling them like a whirlpool. The girls are beautiful, their faces youthful and innocent, their eyes large and captivating. The voice of the one who spoke is like that of a babbling stream, her words slightly distorted by the flowing water which makes up her form.

Oleksandr composes himself, his mind still reeling and cautious at the sight of the watery women before him.

"We are.. travelers," he says, his voice steady. "We... stumbled upon this spring by accident."

"Travelers..." They repeat, looking them over, "from where?" Oleksandr looks at the nymphs, noting the curious and almost childish tone to their questions. They seem innocent and carefree, like girls playing in a stream, yet he can't help but feel a twinge of trepidation. He is about to answer when Thekkur speaks up instead, his eyes roving over the nymphs with a mix of surprise and intrigue.

"We come from a place called... Siberia." He says, deciding to keep their origins vague.

"Siberia..? I've never heard of that!" One girl says with a giggle. Oleksandr and Thekkur are slightly taken aback by the nymphs' apparent lack of knowledge of the world outside their hot spring. They seem strangely naive and unworldly, as if they've never left their watery home. Oleksandr, still wary, tries to keep his tone light and friendly.

"Siberia is a vast and icy land, far to the east. Have... you never heard of it before..?" The girls shake their heads no. One girl swims around on her back, while another pulls herself out of the pool to sit on the edge, brushing her long blue hair out with her fingers.

Another girl comes up to Oleksandr and snuggles closer to him, looking up at him.

"You're both handsome... Are you twins?" Oleksandr is surprised and a bit taken aback by the nymphs' familiarity, especially the girl who has snuggled up to him. He can feel the softness of her thin body as she snuggles closer to him in the water, her hair floating like a cascade of ocean waves. He looks at the girl, her face young and curious, her green eyes gazing at him with a sort of innocent, naïve wonder. He wraps his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him. He glances at Thekkur, a slightly amused smirk on his face.

"Yes," he says with a small chuckle. "We are twins." The other three girls approach, sitting on either side of the two men. "We are all sisters too..." The brothers find themselves in the middle of the four nymphs, each one snuggling close to them and leaning against their strong, muscular frames. Their skin is smooth and cool, like the surface of a mountain stream, and their bodies are lean and supple, moving with a graceful, fluid motion. They seem to take a liking to them, looking up at the men with a sort of innocent adoration.

"Well," he says with a small smile, "It seems we have something in common then."

"Tell me, Siberian..." One girl muses, leaning close to Thekkur. "Have you ever kissed the water before..?" Thekkur is a bit taken aback by the girl's forwardness, but he isn't completely immune to the nymphs' charms. Her soft, girlish voice and the coy look in her eyes are strangely appealing, and he can't help but chuckle with amusement at her question. He leans closer to her, his voice slightly playful.

"Kissed the water?" He asks back. "How does one kiss water exactly?" She wraps her arms around his shoulders, pulling herself up to him.

"Like this..." She says with a sigh, kissing him deeply. Thekkur is caught off guard by the girl's sudden kiss, her soft, cool lips pressing against his own. He is struck by the sensation of her touch, the refreshing feeling of her skin against his like the gentle caress of a river, a relaxing contrast to the hot water. He finds himself melting into her kiss, her lips tasting like spring water, her presence and the moment seeming to wash away his usual stoicism.

The two girls next to Oleksandr giggle and one kisses him on the cheek. He's surprised by the peck, but he doesn't pull away. The girl's lips feel soft and cool, like a gentle breeze on a hot day, and her laughter sounds like the rippling of a fountain. He can feel the heat of the hot spring and the smoothness of the girl's body up against his own, and it takes an effort to keep his usual discipline and caution. As some time passes, the brothers find themselves surrounded by the girls, their lips on their faces, their small, lean bodies pressing up against them in the hot spring. The sounds of their laughter and giggling fill the air, like the music of a babbling brook. The brothers find themselves getting lost in the moment, the usual restraint and discipline slipping away as the nymphs' charms bewitch them.

"Tell us, Siberians," one girl asks in a sensual voice. "What are your names?" Oleksandr regains his composure slightly, though the effects of the nymphs' seduction are still strong on him. He looks at the girls, their soft, childlike faces gazing up at him, their eyes full of innocent curiosity and adoration.

"My name is Oleksandr," he says, his voice a bit rougher than usual. "And my brother's name is Thekkur." He glances over at Thekkur, who's too distracted with his tongue down a nymph's throat.

"Oleksandr...and Thekkur... those are beautiful names." One girl says with a smile. Another girl speaks. "Tell us, Oleksandr and Thekkur... Do you like us?" They look at the nymphs, their soft, youthful faces and supple bodies pressing against them more intimately than before. The brothers feel a mixture of desire and confusion, their usual discipline and reservation almost completely dissolved by the nymphs' otherworldly charms.

"Yes," Oleksandr responds with a smile, his voice slightly huskier than normal. "We... like you very much."

"We like you too..." One girl says, reaching up to play with his hair. "We never see anyone in our pool, let alone such... handsome and strong men." Oleksandr glances at Thekkur, a silent exchange passing between the two brothers. They can both feel the potent allure of the nymphs, their strange beauty and innocence drawing them in. They feel their usual defenses slowly being eroded by the girls' presence and the sensation of their supple skin against their own.

"Is that so?" Says Thekkur, his voice low and breathless as his hands roam their bodies. "Then... we are honored to be the ones to save you from your loneliness."

"Tell us... Do you like being inside us..? Our pool, that is..." One giggles. They feel their cheeks flush slightly at the girl's somewhat suggestive words. They're used to the attention of women, but the nymphs' youthfulness and playfulness are a novel experience for them. Oleksandr speaks first.

"Yes," he says, his voice also breathless. "We... like being in your pool very much." The two girls swim around Oleksandr and Thekkur, their bodies moving with an almost effortless grace, like the ripple of water flowing in a brook. The other two girls stay close, their small, cool hands caressing the brothers' arms and chests, their eyes gazing up at them with a mixture of innocence and desire.

"Tell us brothers... What is it that you desire?" Oleksandr and Thekkur feel the effects of the nymphs' charms growing stronger with each passing moment. They gaze at the girls, their soft, youthful bodies pressed up intimately against them in the hot spring, and a mixture of desire and lust begins to burn within them. They find themself struggling to think clearly. Thekkur speaks up first, his voice slightly hoarse.

"We... desire you. All four of you." The girls giggle in response. "Oh? Us?" They nod, their eyes burning with desire and fascination. They reach out towards the girls, their hands trailing over their smooth, translucent skin, their lust and need growing stronger by the second.

"Yes," Oleksandr says, his voice thick. "All of you."

"Well, then...we are here to fulfill your desires.." The brothers barely need any more encouragement from the girls. The allure of the nymphs have taken hold of them, and their usual restraint completely lost. They pull the girls towards them, their hands moving over their cool watery flesh, their lips meeting the girls' in passionate, desperate kisses. The girls press closer, the group intertwined in a tangle of limbs and flowing blue hair. The brothers find themselves lost in a literal sea of pleasure, their bodies responding to the nymphs' touch and presence with a fierce, primal need. They kiss and touch the girls, their hands roaming over their smooth flesh, their lips exploring every inch of the nymphs' being. Oleksandr and Thekkur are lost in the moment with the nymphs, the sensations and experiences overwhelming and unlike anything they have ever known.

The girls are a blur of limbs and movement, their bodies as fluid and inviting as the water that makes up their home. Time seems to blur and lose meaning as the brothers make love to the nymphs, losing themselves in a dream-like, surreal haze of ecstasy and pleasure. Oleksandr and Thekkur feel as if they have lost all sense of time and reality. Their minds and bodies are consumed by the overwhelming sensation of the nymphs, the girls' bodies and presence seemingly both real and ethereal at the same time. They move with a liquid grace through the hot spring, their bodies flowing around the brothers like a waterfall of love. Every touch and caress seems to send ripples of pleasure through their bodies, the water only amplifying the intensity of the experience. The night stretches on, the hours passing without the brothers even realizing it. They are lost in a world of pleasure and sensation, their bodies intertwined with the nymphs as they explore and embrace each other. The hot spring water seems to pulse with an almost magical energy, the surrounding forest bathed in a strange, otherworldly glow like a dreamscape.

As the first light of dawn begins to appear in the sky, Oleksandr and Thekkur find themselves coming back to their senses. They look around, the dream-like haze of the night slowly dissipating, replaced by a sense of disoriented wonder and exhaustion. The nymphs are still with them, giggling and playing in the water, their youthful, carefree spirits untouched by the hours that have passed. Oleksandr and Thekkur can still feel the lingering effects of the nymphs' charms, their usual discipline and restraint replaced by a sense of dazed, dreamy contentment. They lean back, catching their breath in the warm waters of the hot spring, the early morning sun beginning to cast a pale, golden light over the surroundings. One girl speaks, floating between the brothers.

"Tell me, Oleksandr, and Thekkur. What else is it that you desire?" Oleksandr and Thekkur look at the nymph, their minds still somewhat dazed from the debauchery they have just experienced. They take a moment before answering, trying to gather their thoughts. Oleksandr speaks first.

"We... desire many things. To continue on our journey, to explore the world, and to... well, perhaps to see you again." Thekkur nods in agreement, his voice a bit weary but still laced with a hint of a smile. He looks at the girls, their small, lean bodies swirling around in the water like cute little fish.

"Yes," he says, "we desire many things. But... Right now, we also desire rest. The night was quite tiring."

"Mmm.. we also rest at sunrise..." They notice how the girls' bodies are slowly starting to fade back into water-like transparency they first saw them with, their blue hair shifting back into flowing water. Oleksandr speaks up, his voice filled with wonder.

"Are... Are you leaving us so soon?"

"We only come out at night, my love..." Oleksandr feels disappointment and sadness at the words. He had grown fond of the nymphs, their charms and presence having a powerful effect on him. He looks at the girls, their bodies almost completely translucent now, their features becoming harder to distinguish in the rising sunlight.

"I... see," he says, his voice quiet. "So.. we must say goodbye then?"

The duo watches as one of the girls dives into the water, emerging a moment later with something clutched in her hand. As she approaches, they see that it's a pair of pearl dangly earrings, sparkling and shimmering in the morning light. They are both a bit surprised by the gesture, realizing it's a gift from the nymphs.

"Many years ago... Many, many years... a young girl lost them here." Oleksandr and Thekkur each take one of the earrings from the nymph, examining them closely. They are beautiful and delicate, crafted from lustrous gold and tear-shaped pearls. The story behind them adds an air of mystery and wonder to the gift.

"Be safe on your travels, sweet brothers..." Each girl gives the brothers a kiss, now completely transparent, made purely of flowing, living water. They both lean in, accepting the soft, loving kisses from the sweet nymphs, feeling a mixture of sadness and wonder as they watch the girls disappearing back into the depths of the hot spring, the eery, otherworldly, yet lovely women blending into the water and disappearing from sight.

The brothers pull themselves out of the spring, and they move through the cool morning air, feeling exhausted and drained after the night of passion with the nymphs. They lay down on the soft mossy grass, the feel of the cool, dewy ground a welcome comfort on their tired bodies. They lay there on their backs in silence for a moment, staring up at the morning sky, its pale blue hue slowly growing brighter as the sun continues to rise. Oleksandr glances over at his brother, the two of them lying next to each other. Thekkur looks worn out and weary, a mixture of exhaustion and contentment on his face. Oleksandr finds himself thinking back to the night with the nymphs, their charms and allure still fresh in his mind. He looks back up at the sky, his mind slowly becoming lost in thought. Thekkur too is lost in thought, his mind filled with the memories of the night. The memories of the nymphs and the pleasure they gave him are like a lingering dream, but he feels satisfied and at peace. He can feel the warmth of the sun on his skin and the cool, dewy grass beneath him, grounding him back to reality. The brothers lie there in silence for a while longer, the early morning sunlight growing stronger and the forest slowly awakening around them. Birds can be heard chirping in the trees, and small animals can be seen scurrying about in the foliage. The brothers drift off into a much needed sleep, needing to rest and recover from the night's events.

When they finally wake up, the sun is high in the sky, the daylight a stark contrast to the dim morning when they were last awake. The brothers stretch and yawn, feeling rested but a bit disoriented from the strange, dreamlike experience. They pack up their camp and prepare to continue on their journey, the memories of the sweet girls who possess the hot spring still fresh in their minds.

Thekkur stands at the edge of the hot spring, staring down into the now ordinary bubbling surface of the water. For a moment, he sees reflections of memories of the nymphs dancing in the ripples, their graceful, otherworldly figures seeming to move just beneath the surface of the water. This thought brings a wistful smile to Thekkur's face, a sense of nostalgia and wistfulness for the magical experience he just had. The brothers set out, continuing their journey into the forest. Despite the beauty and exoticism of the environment, there are no sounds of nymphs singing in the springs, no more magical encounters or events that break the monotony of the journey. They walk in silence, their minds still swirling with the events of the night before. But as the hours pass, they slowly lose their thoughts of the nymphs, their memories becoming more and more like a dream-like haze... The brothers walk for several more hours, the forest continuing to stretch endlessly into the distance. Birds and small animals can be heard in the trees, and the cool wind rustles the leaves and moss. They are weary and hot, the sun still high in the sky, but they continue on, the desire to find the black sea and complete their mission strong in their minds.
