Chapter 5: Cast Your True Wish into the Holy Spring
With one more mountain between her and the elven forest, Rem pulled the wagon to a halt.
"I really didn't think that I'd be returning here this soon."
With her home she thought she had left for good now before her, the elf didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Nevertheless, that was something she could think about later. For now, she needed to put all of her focus into the hunters she might soon face.
The first time she had sneaked out, she had managed to do so quite easily thanks to the celebrations that had been happening at the same time. However, as far as Rem knew, no such opportunity would be given to her again any time soon, and even if it was, the limited time Alferez had left meant that she wouldn't be able to wait for that long.
And sneaking in wasn't even the only thing she needed to worry about. What would she do once she was inside the village? Would anyone offer her assistance? Of course not. You see, the majority of the people living there knew about Rem's past. Not only that, the whole cat curse had been the elders' idea in the first place. Once they learned that she was helping the human princess, she could be sure that every last elf in the entire village would be coming after her.
"What can I even do at this point...?" Rem sighed with his hands grasping the reins. No matter how you spun it, things weren't looking good for her.
"The spring of a god is located behind the tree of origin. That's in the heart of the village..."
Was there really a route that would take her there without anyone seeing her? Rem had spent a large part of her life all by herself, and as such, knew all the places where no one else ever went to. She thought back to the layout of the village, but no matter which route she took, it seemed that she'd always need to pass by at least some houses.
"Meow... Meow~..."
The mumbling of the sleeping girl echoed from within the wagon. Soon after leaving the manor, she had become unable to speak any actual words. The progress of the curse was clearly accelerating.
The past couple of nights had been the most scared Rem had ever felt in her life. She had waited for sunrise anxiously, wondering if this would be the day the girl would no longer turn back. Thankfully she always did, and even if with her tail and ears she wasn't exactly what you'd call fully human, the elf still always felt like a heavy stone had been lifted from her heart. Unfortunately, her physical appearance wasn't the only thing that was changing. Her intelligence was dropping as well. She had lost her ability to speak, and with no one to talk to, Rem no longer had neither the courage nor the strength to pass another night.
"If I just walked in acting all innocent, would that work? If worst comes to worst, I can force myself through..."
That really was her only option. There was no way that she could just stand still. For the girl's sake, as well as for her own. Still unable to clear her mind of doubt, Rem shook the reins while making sure that the horse wasn't walking too fast to wake up the girl sleeping in the back.
However, only a few steps later, a figure appeared among the trees.
"Wait. A plan that reckless is never going to work."
That person was Amita. She stood before the wagon, blocking its path. With the horse once again standing in place, Rem stared down at her aunt from the driver's seat. The plan being reckless wasn't something she needed to be told. No, she was well aware. And yet, as it was her only option, no force in the world could cause her to turn back.
"I will take Alferez to the spring, no matter what it takes."
Rem had no time to waste. Even so, Amita stood where she was, not budging an inch. Just like her niece, she wasn't planning to give up either. Something was off, however. Something about the way the woman was acting felt strange. Firstly, she hadn't drawn her sword, and secondly, the expression on her face showed clear signs of distress.
"What reason do you have to go this far to save the princess? You didn't even know her before you left the village. She might as well be a complete stranger."
There was no strength to her words. She was neither trying to force Rem, nor persuade her. No, it seemed like she just genuinely didn't understand why the girl cared so much about Alferez.
"Didn't I tell you already? I love Al."
Amita shook her head in silence.
"You're both girls. Not only that, but twin sisters as well. She isn't someone you're allowed to love."
Did she really think that Rem wasn't aware? That those facts didn't trouble her? The girl was a little offended, but suppressed her urge to lash back, and instead chose to answer honestly.
"Yes, that is true. And you're right, Aunt, I didn't know about Al before I met her. You can tell me that she's my sister all you want, but it just doesn't feel that way. Like I said... I love her."
"That's not what I meant!" Amita yelled and took a step forward, angry that Rem had taken her statement about the princess being a stranger to her to mean the exact opposite of what she had intended. The girl stuck out her palm, as if telling the woman to stay put, and asked her a question of her own.
"It's your feelings that I don't understand. If Al is my sister, then wouldn't that basically make her your niece? How can you just sit back and watch while she suffers in the hands of the curse?"
"..."
Amita's lips were pursed. She gave Rem no answer. Her silence, however, told the girl that on the inside, she was lost. Holding back her urge to get going, Rem waited patiently for the woman's reply, and soon enough, she yelled it out.
"That girl, she... she... stole my sister from me!"
By her sister she meant Rem's mother. But, what did she mean by Alferez stealing her? Rem would've understood if she had said that Alferez's mother stole her, but this?
"Rem... You think that the spring of a god is a place that grants any wish, don't you?"
"I-It isn't?" she asked and tilted her head, confused. The conversation was heading for a tangent, and while Rem normally wouldn't have allowed such a thing, she was far too confused to even notice.
"No, it's not quite so convenient. Long ago, the spring was but the location for a temple used to pray for a good harvest. However, people soon began offering sacrifices and using it for all sorts of prayers, and as their thoughts cumulated over hundreds and thousands of years, the spring itself eventually gained mystical powers."
Amita went on to tell that this had happened around when she was born. As news of the spring's power spread, elves, especially the young ones, had rushed to the village's centre to make a wish. There were wishes for love, wishes for recovery from an illness, wishes for revenge, and countless more. And yet, none knew the dangers.
"All those who used the strength of the spring faced disaster. Those who had recovered from an illness were gravely wounded, those who had sought revenge now found themselves as targets of it. Married, but unable to bear children... It was then that everyone realised it."
"Realised what?"
Rem felt like she knew already, but decided to ask just in case. Her aunt replied, and her answer was exactly what she had expected.
"To receive the spring of a god's strength... something needs to be given in return."
Whether or not the wish became true, that always stayed the same. The spring was eventually sealed off, becoming a legend only known to some. Or at least, that's how it should have been.
"Elves live for far longer than the other races, and as such, the past isn't quite so easily forgotten. Due to this, the job of guarding the spring could only be given to someone who didn't know the truth, even if that someone happened to be a girl born from sin."
It wasn't the tree that Rem had been made to guard, but the spring. That was the true secret of the village. She had always wondered why a duty so important had been left to someone like her, but that being the reason made her even more confused.
"Wait, then..."
If wishes as simple as those relating to love or sickness needed compensation, then what would happened if you asked for something so opposite to the natural order of things as two women bearing a child?
"...My sister lost the longevity elves are known for. Similar thing happened to the princess's mother; she fell terribly ill and passed away", Amita stated, glaring up at Rem. Chills ran through the girl's body. She had had a bad feeling about what was about to happen. Rather, she already knew, but had just been scared to confirm it. Even so, this wasn't something that she could run away from. She forced herself to face the truth.
As we were born... we took the lives of our mothers?
As those words formed in Rem's mind, her body froze. The world before her turned dark, and her chest felt cold, as if she had been made to swallow a rock. Was she really better off knowing this? Though she still felt as proud as ever about her mothers, the weight of another person's life wasn't something she was ready to carry on her back.
"Seems that you understand. Yes, that is why I hate humans, they stole my sister from me. I have no reason to help the princess!"
Not quite. Half of the responsibility laid on Rem's mother. Obviously her aunt understood this as well. In fact, it seemed that even she understood the grudge she held to be ultimately unjustified. Her lips were pursed tight, and her cheeks were tense, as if trying to suppress her anger. It was quite rare for elves to show that much emotion. So, what was it that caused the woman to feel this way?
After thinking about it for a moment, Rem realised the answer. It wasn't the humans that Amita hated. No, the cause for her rage was something far more simple.
"Aunt... You're sad, aren't you?"
She had lost her beloved sister. That was all there was to it. Even if she knew that it didn't make sense, she still needed someone to hate.
Her niece having seen through her, Amita's frustration became far more visible. She bit her lip hard, to the point that Rem was worried she might start bleeding. There was no telling how she might react if she were to be pushed any further than this. Rem didn't care, however. She jumped down off the wagon and walked up to her.
She might be the taboo child, she might carry the weight of her mother's death on her back, but right now, there was only one thought in her mind.
"Aunt. I still want to save her. That's how much she matters to me."
Amita's eyebrows rose up, and you could almost see the anger seeping out from her body.
"How many times do I need to explain it before you understand? Are you really planning to repeat the same mistake as your mother!?"
The angrier the woman became, however, the calmer Rem felt herself getting.
"I don't care that Al's my sister or a human. I just don't want to lose someone who I love. You should understand that feeling, Aunt."
"What do you mean?"
The woman's eyebrows rose up even higher. She was clearly furious. Even so, Rem wasn't afraid. Not even slightly.
"I mean, you loved your sister... my mother... so much that you needed someone to hate."
"Right..."
Amita's head drooped, as if the strings of tension holding it up had suddenly been cut. Sobs could be heard coming from behind her hands, now covering her face.
"Are you... going to steal another family member from me?"
Those weren't words Rem had been expecting. They might have lived together, but the girl had never gotten the sense that her aunt accepted her as part of her family.
"Aunt... Do you hate me? For taking your sister from you?"
"Well, I can't deny that I sometimes do feel that way."
Right, of course you would, Rem thought. Just then, Amita closed her eyes and silently shook her head. There was a look of deep sadness on her face, as well as resignation.
"No... No. There's no way that I could ever fully hate you. After all, you're the daughter of my sister. It was scary watching you grow up. Day by day you resembled her more. Honestly, I had a hunch that it would come down to this one day. And now, it has..."
Her aunt, usually calm and collected, was now grieving before her. Rem couldn't help but to feel shocked. Little had she known what kind of pain the woman had been carrying inside her. What was happening right now was a repeat of her past sorrow.
Neither of the two had any blood relatives besides each other. Was it really worth it helping a human girl if it meant causing sorrow to someone like her? Feeling the pain of guilt in her heart, Rem questioned her own actions.
However, she wouldn't have to wait long for the answer to appear. Nothing Amita had said had caused any sort of hesitation in her desire to save Alferez.
"There's no knowing what sort of an effect removing the curse might have. She—my sister—probably didn't think that her longevity would be taken from her either."
Was that really so?
Though it was nothing more than a simple hunch, Rem did have a feeling that her mother had known the price she'd have to pay from the start. She really did. After all, she was about to do the same herself. Though the girl was certainly afraid of losing something, her desire to save Alferez by giving something in exchange was far stronger, and she immediately began thinking about what might be valuable enough.
It would have been a lie to say that she wasn't scared and anxious. The power that dwelt in the spring could take any offering, not just the one that she wanted to give it. Rem expected her heart to start racing, and yet, much to her surprise, it stayed perfectly calm.
"...Aunt, thank you. Just hearing you say that is plenty for me", she said and smiled quietly. As she did, Amita closed her eyes, showing that she had at last given up.
"I suppose there's nothing I can say to change your mind... You really do resemble your mother. Though usually reasonable, once you've made your mind about something, you will never give up."
"Sorry..."
Amita lifted her palm, rejecting Rem's apology. With her hand still extended, she then pointed towards a certain section of the elven forest.
"On the back side of the village, on the outer edge of a rock surface surrounded by trees, there is a countless number of ivies coming down from the tree of origin. If you use them, you should be able to reach the spring directly."
"Aunt..."
"However! Climbing them while carrying that girl on your back is no easy task for a half-elf like you. As you know, the tree is guarded. Think the rest through by yourself."
Was that all the support Amita could offer her? At the same time, even going that far must have been really tough for her. It didn't mean that she had forgiven Rem, of course; she simply understood her niece's resolve and sympathized with her feelings. Nevertheless, this was far more than Rem could ever have asked for. She bowed silently to the woman, now trying her best to avoid eye contact, before hopping onto the wagon. The sound of her thudding against it was enough to wake Alferez up.
"Meow~?"
Having likely just woken up from a dream, the girl seemed even more confused than normal. She looked around the wagon, puzzled, with her ears and tail standing up. However, she seemed to calm down as soon as she saw Rem, and an innocent smile formed on her face.
"...Let's go, Al. I'll turn you back to normal."
Climbing the wall surrounding the village with Alferez on her back had been difficult to say the least.
Rem had been able to view the outside world from the branches of the tree of origin, which had led her to believe that the walls weren't all that high. That couldn't have been further from the truth, however; the steep, vertical cliff face offered her no breathing room. All she had to support herself were ivies that could snap any second, as well as tiny footholds on which she could barely fit the tip of her toes.
"It's been nothing but climbing ever since I left the village... I guess that's one thing humans and elves have in common; neither can feel safe without tall walls surrounding them..."
Of course, the height wasn't the only thing giving Rem trouble. She was carrying Alferez on her back, and every few seconds the girl's hot breath hit the back of her neck.
"Ah... Meow... Ahn... Meow..."
"Hey, Al. Don't go in heat right now, it's dangerous!"
The princess was fixed on the elf's back with a leather belt in the same way that you'd carry a baby. The problem was, she didn't seem to like it. Rem could feel her stiffened nipples rubbing against her skin. Considering how sensitive Alferez's breasts were, and the fact that she couldn't get away, this must have been perpetual, sexual torture for her.
"Just a little more, try to endure it..."
"Ah... Haa... Hnnh..."
Though it was impossible to tell whether that was a reply to Rem's statement or just senseless moans, it was clear that the girl too was fighting as hard as she could to contain herself. With all of her strength, she gripped tight onto the elf's clothes around her shoulders. Though her mental state had regressed and she had forgotten how to speak, it seemed that she still understood that this was a situation that she'd just have to endure.
Encouraged by the princess's fighting spirit, Rem soon reached the giant branches hanging over the wall and climbed onto one. There she took a quick break, just enough to catch her breath, before jumping down, hidden behind the massive leaves.
"Guards..."
Well, a guard. There only seemed to be one at the moment, a young, bored-looking elf leaning onto his spear. Rem recognized him as the man who had previously made fun of her for being a half-elf. Considering that he was stationed here, he too must have been unaware of the secret. In a way, Rem couldn't help but to sympathize with him. However, right now, he was but an obstacle to her. She pulled her bow from her hip, lined it up, and fired. Without any sound, the arrow soared through the air and hit the man directly in his shoulder. Before he could comprehend what had just happened, he collapsed on the grass below him.
"That was an arrow coated with a sleeping drug Aunt Amita gave me. Don't worry, I'll have someone come look after you later."
It didn't seem that there was anyone else around. Rem hopped down from the tree and landed on familiar ground.
"Hmm, it should be around here..."
In the gap between tree and rock, there grew a bush of tall grass. She pushed the plants aside, exposing what looked like a stone monument the size of her body hidden behind them. Yes, this must have been the sealed door. There were magical-looking runes and figures scribbled on it, but the years of rain and wind had rendered them unreadable. A single, long crack also ran through its surface. Seeing how frail the whole thing was, Rem decided to give kicking it a shot.
"Take that!"
Just as she had expected, the top half of the monument wobbled from the impact. What she hadn't foreseen, however, was the whole thing collapsing on her.
"Whoa!" Rem screamed and quickly jumped to the side. She really had thought that it'd fall the opposite way. A few moments later, the stone monument crashed against the ground, splitting into two equally sized parts.
"I should have been more careful... I'm going to get punished for this, aren't I?" the girl muttered to herself before taking a look at the crevice that had been revealed. There were stairs made of stone there, leading down into darkness. Furthermore, judging by the way its walls were shaped, the cave seemed to have formed naturally. This was it. The path to the spring had been opened.
Rem hid the entrance with some grass just in case. Looking back to it, however, there wasn't really any point; once anyone saw the broken monument they'd realise that someone had broken in.
With Alferez on her back, she descended the stairs. As mentioned previously, the cave was dark, and she couldn't even see where she was stepping. Not only that, it just kept going and going. The girl had counted up to fifty stairs already, but there were still plenty left. However, after going for a hundred or so more, something happened. Her surroundings lit up with dim, azure light.
"Wow..." Rem gasped in amazement, having reached the end of what must have been at least two hundred stairs. The view before her was so incredibly beautiful that it was hard to believe that this place had been sealed away for hundreds of years, with the only exception being when her mother entered it.
The cavern was massive, so much so that you likely could have fit Alferez's mansion here in its entirety. In the middle of it lay the mysterious spring, filled to the brim with azure, sparkling water.
"Is this... the spring of a god...?"
There was white, fine sand beneath Rem's feet, and against the front wall stood an imposing, stone shrine, perhaps made from the the large boulders sticking out from the spring.
Just standing there, in a place of complete silence and tranquillity, was enough to make the elf's knees shake. Her body was frozen still. The spring shouldn't have been anything more to her than just some water gushing from underground, and yet, Rem felt afraid and powerless, as if she really had been dragged before a god.
"Mmh... Mmhh..."
The girl on her back, however, cared little about things such as divinity. Though she had managed to endure it this far, she no longer could.
"It's fine, Al. ...There we go."
Whatever sort of god might reside in the spring, Rem had only one request from them: cure Alferez. With that in mind, she untied the string holding the girl to her back, dropped her on the ground, and began undressing herself.
"Meow!"
Alferez did so too, but was having quite a bit of trouble due to her ears and tail. Seeing the girl struggle, Rem got on her knees and helped her. She took off all of her clothes, and at last, her panties. The cat princess, now able to move her body freely, let out a howl of joy and pounced on the elf.
"Meooow!"
"Ahn! Hey, calm down... Hyaah!"
With the full weight of the over-excited girl's soft body now on her, Rem fell back-first into the spring, and as the splash of water rained on the two, Alferez pressed her lips on the elf's.
"Ahn... Meow... Mmhh, mmmmhh!"
"Ahhn! Why are you acting so—? Ahh, mmh, mmhh!"
The pleasure she felt as the girl sucked her lips and tongue caused Rem to shake, and so did the touch of cold water against her sweaty body. The two girls rolled around in the shallow lake, constantly changing who was on the top as they fought for each other's lips.
"Ah... Ha... Aah..."
Rem, now sitting straight, lifted Alferez up as well and kissed her while tickling her chin. As she did, the girl's body shook from pleasure. Her cat ears stood up, and her wet tail hit the surface of the water repeatedly, as if unable to stay still. Rem got on her knees and kissed her from above, while Alferez wrapped her arms around the elf's neck and, as if dangling in the air, pushed forth her tongue, which the other girl immediately sucked up. The princess wasn't the only one shivering in ecstasy; Rem was too.
"Haa... Ahh... Your tongue... feels incredible... Ahh!"
"Meow... Meoow... Meooow!"
As Rem opened her half-closed eyes, she saw Alferez smiling before her, her eyes overflowing with lust. She then closed them again, tilted her neck slightly, and pushed her lips onto the girl's.
"Haa... Aaahh..."
Having lost all of her strength to the pleasure, Rem lowered her butt on the bottom of the spring. She then crossed her knees with Alferez's and embraced her. Their bodies pressed together, and their stiffened nipples rubbed each other's breasts, sending jolts of sweet pleasure all over their bodies from their chests.
"Ahn... Aaahhhn..."
With her body shivering, Rem glanced over at the shrine on the opposite shore of the spring.
God. If you're there, then please watch. See how much Al and I care about each other. And then... hear my wish!
She prayed like she really meant it. After she was done, Rem sat down on the edge of the spring, lifted up her knees, and opened her legs. Then, holding down the embarrassment pounding in her chest, she spread her privates open with both hands. A large amount of honey gushed out, alluring her beloved. In an instant, Alferez's nose picked up the sweet scent, and—just like Rem had hoped—her ears shot up. Her nostrils twitching, she brought her face up close to the elf's now-open slit.
"Hyah!"
A lick of the girl's coarse tongue against Rem's sensitive walls caused a violent throb, as if she had been dropped in ice water, to shoot up her body. The shock was intense, and her stiffened legs tried to close reflexly. However, Alferez's shoulders blocked them. She continued licking the elf rapidly, focusing not only on her walls, but flicking her clitoris as wall.
"Hii! Ah... Yes! More! Haa... Aah... Ahh!"
Rem's bottom lifted up from where she was sitting. Her backed arched, leaving her hardened nipples to point up towards the ceiling, as if they were being stretched by invisible strings. Much in the same way, her toes were fully tensed up too. The pleasure was intense, and Rem had to use all the strength she had to fight the desire to escape. She gripped the girl's head with both hands, the saliva of whom was mixing together with her own honey and turning her crotch into a wet mess.
"Ah! Ahh! Al... Al!"
Feeling her climax coming, the elf stroked Alferez's hair while yelling out her name. As if to answer those calls, the girl lifted up her head. There was thick honey all over her lips, which she quickly and eagerly licked up. After that, she placed her hands on Rem's cheeks, pulled her close, and—with a smile on her face—kissed her.
"Haa... Haaa..."
Moaning while returning the girl's kiss, Rem allowed her bottom to fall down from the rock she was sitting on. Her body bent backwards, causing her lower half to fall back into the water. She then squeezed Alferez's breasts from below, and the girl did the same to her.
"Ahh... Meow... Meow!"
The pleasure her breasts and lips caused her were too much for the princess, and before long, her moans began leaking out as well. The two girls kissed for a while, after which Alferez moved her lips over to Rem's ears and neck. She licked them with small movements, like a kitten, causing the ripples of pleasure to travel between the elf's legs as well and making even more of her honey to gush out.
If I'm this wet, then...
Though there was no denying that most of her trembling was caused by pleasure, there was also something else behind it. That something was nervousness, a sliver of anxiety in her mind otherwise burning bright with pure ecstasy. A voice telling her that what she was planning to do might not be enough to pay for her wish. That this was just the bare minimum.
Having entrusted her body to Alferez, now lying on top of her, Rem moved her right hand between her legs. Much like oil, her honey had retained its slipperiness even underwater, and with her fingers drenched in it, she pushed them into her wet hole.
"Hngh!"
While she had tried to do so quietly, the pain was simply too sharp for her to hold back her voice. A look of worry appeared on Alferez's face as she saw Rem clench her teeth.
Ouch... What the—? This hurts like hell!!
She shoved her fingers, fewer than usual, up her tight hole. Her insides fought back, but she simply wouldn't give up. Not longer after, she hit a stop. And yet, Rem knew that this wasn't the end.
"Meow?"
Alferez's cat ears drooped. She was clearly worried. As if to comfort her, Rem—covered in cold sweat—gave the girl a quick smile. She then took a deep breath and with one final push, forced her fingers all the way inside her.
"Stupid Rem, get a hold of yourself."
How long had she been passed out for? She opened her eyes to the sound of her cheeks being slapped softly, and noticed that her body from hips down was buried into the sand that formed the bottom of the spring. Had the sensations the elf had just experienced been an illusion caused by her sinking into the sand? In any case, it seemed that she had made it through alive. Rem went over her body, making sure that she was in one piece, but before she could finish, Alferez sat down on her chest. Clearly angry, she stared down on the elf's half-awake face.
"...Al?"
"You really are an idiot, you know? I can't believe that you'd give something as precious as your virginity to a freaking spring. I'm the one who was meant to have it."
"S-Sorry. It's just, I heard that a sacrifice was needed to make a wish, and..."
Being yelled at right after she had woken up, all Rem could do was apologize. However, as her mind began clearing up, she noticed something crucial.
"Al, you're able to speak!?"
"Yes, naturally. Who do you think I a— Hyaah!?"
Rem sprang up, causing the girl who had been sitting proudly on her chest to tumble over to the spring.
"Al! Your ears? Your tail!?"
"Gasp! Rem, calm down! I'm gonna drown!"
Though the spring wasn't deep, with Rem now on top of her furiously placing her hands all over her face and bottom, it was clear to see why Alferez was having so much trouble getting air into her lungs.
"They're gone... You've really turned back..."
Rem didn't know for how long she had been unconscious, and since she couldn't see the sun inside the cave, it wasn't clear to her if it was currently day or night. At any rate, Alferez being back in her human form meant that the curse had stopped progressing. The elf moved her eyes back and forth between where the princess's ears and tail had been, and for a moment, she was left staring at her, dumbfounded. Though Rem should obviously have felt happy, she also felt confused, unable to believe what she was seeing. That confusion quickly turned into tears, however, and she began wailing like a little child, feeling no shame whatsoever.
"Thank you, Rem. It seems that you went through a lot."
Alferez, having lifted herself up, embraced Rem and thanked her earnestly. Was this really it? Had the elf really succeeded? Somehow, it felt... too easy. The price she needed to pay should have been massive, and yet, it didn't seem to have been that way. Well, whatever. The elf decided to not think about that right now. After all, Alferez was back, and that was all that mattered.
"Al... Al!"
With tears gushing out from her eyes, Rem embraced the girl tight. She rubbed her face against her ample breasts, wanting to make sure that this was real and not a dream. As she did, the princess's hard nipples touched her cheeks, showing that they really were there.
"Yeah, these really are Al's boobs..."
"What do you mean by tha— Mhh!"
The wry smile on the girl's face quickly turned into something else. It was as if she was in pain. Rem, having a hunch of what was happening, glanced down. In the next instant, her eyes sprang up wide open.
"Al, this is—?"
The water surrounding Rem's hips was faintly red. That redness, as the elf quickly realized, was coming from between the pair of legs that lay spread on top of her. She didn't have to think, she already knew. This was Alferez's virginal blood. The sign that she had lost her virginity.
"Why did you—? If one of our virginity was too precious to be offered to the spring, then it was definitely yours. What happened to being aware of your role as a princess?! No, wait, how did you even know that the spring needs an offering in the first place?!"
Flustered, Rem gripped the girl's shoulders, but Alferez simply smiled nonchalantly.
"I know everything. That's why I gave away my first time. I know it might not have looked like it, but I heard everything you talked about with your aunt."
"N-No way..."
It was as if Rem had been let in on a secret. She really thought that Alferez hadn't been able to comprehend what she was hearing due the progression of the curse regressing her mental abilities.
"Anyway, it let my wish come true too, so no big deal."
"Not necessarily..."
Her face pale, Rem shook her head, prompting Alferez to pucker her lips.
"Why? I gave my first time for it, didn't I?"
"You did, but... That being enough is just something I came up with. I have no idea what we actually need to sacrifice."
The princess's soft hand touched Rem's quivering cheek. The elf lifted up her gaze slowly, before being greeted by Alferez's eyes, shining gently.
"Don't look so depressed. My virginity belongs to you. As such, it makes perfect sense for me to use it to save you, don't you agree? If anything, I feel proud."
"But... But..."
Rem hesitated, but Alferez quickly placed her hand on the elf's head.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not planning to give my life for you. No, because the spring won't be able to steal anything else from us!"
"Wh-What do you mean? Wait, come to think of it, what did you even wish for?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
A gentle smile appeared on the princess's face. She opened her arms wide, embraced Rem—even more confused than before—before whispering the answer slowly to her ear, as if she was talking to a child.
"I wished to be able to live happily with you, forever."
"Really? Something that simpl— Hyaah!?"
Still embracing her, Alferez leaned on the elf. As she was once again pushed onto the ground, Rem couldn't help but to feel a little sceptical. Would a wish that straightforward really be able to solve all of their problems?
"I thought it'd be best to keep it simple. Honestly, I'm a little shocked that no one has made a wish like that before. Besides, the virginity of a princess is like a treasure, once in a life time sort of thing. Receiving that alone ought to make the spring happy. If it dares to ask for something more, I'll make it pay!"
Alferez might have been lacking in strength and determination, but you could never say the same about her unwavering self-confidence. Having finished her proclamation, she gave Rem a carefree smile. It worked, and soon the elf's tensed-up cheeks relaxed.
"You're gonna make the spring pay?"
"Yep."
"What, are you greater than a god?"
"If I need to be in order to protect you, then betcha."
The princess really was back to her old self, for better and for worse. Rem wrapped her arms around the girl's neck and, feeling her heart telling her to do so, kissed her deeply.
"I know this is late, but... I love you too, Rem. I really do."
"'Too'? Al, what do you—?"
"Come on, try to pay attention. I told you that I heard your conversation with your aunt. Nevertheless, confessions of love are meant to be said directly to the person in question. So, go ahead, Rem. Say it."
Alferez pushed the elf down and drew close to her. The tips of their noses were now almost touching. This sudden intimacy was a little too much for Rem, and in an instant, her heart began racing.
"I..."
"I what?"
It was a difficult thing to say when asked to repeat. Feeling herself get choked up, the elf barely managed to mutter out the words.
"I love you..." she whimpered quietly, like a bug. A smile formed on Alferez's face. Still smiling, she hugged Rem tight and rubbed their cheeks together.
"Stop it, Al... Now, is it time that you make me happy?"
As payback for being forced to confess her love, Rem once again pressed her lips on the girl's. The surprise attack caused Alferez to let out a slight moan. She swiftly caught it with her tongue, however, and after taking a couple of seconds to prepare herself to launch an counter-attack, pushed her tongue into the elf's mouth and began moving it around.
"Ahhn!"
A shock of pleasure shot up Rem's spine. She hugged the girl tight, not even realising that she was doing so. The elf moaned as the numerous kisses calmed her down, until suddenly, Alferez let out a giggle.
"What's so funny?"
"No, I was just thinking how unbelievable this is. We met each other by pure chance, and now we're in love. Not only that, we're sisters who were separated at birth. What are the odds?"
Rem tilted her head, puzzled. Had it really been chance that they met each other? It could have been what their mothers had wished for, or perhaps, a part of the curse.
"Well, who cares about that."
Though she had been the one to bring the topic up in the first place, it was Alferez who discarded that line of thought. Not allowing herself to get sidetracked, she tilted her head sideways and pushed her lips against Rem's. Their tongues rubbing together felt incredible, and just like the girl, the elf too gave up on thinking.
"Aah... Al... Mhh... Mmmhh..."
"Ahhn... Haaa... Rem, your kisses are... just as intense as ever... Mhh... Mmmhhh... Mmhh..."
The wet sound of kissing echoed through the cave, and a moment later, the legs of the girls began twining around each other the same way as their tongues. Their thighs pressed into one another's crotch, rubbing up their slit.
"Hngh!"
However, as they had just lost their virginities, the slightest touch was enough to cause shivers of pain to shoot through their bodies. Tears ran down Rem's cheeks, which Alferez then licked up.
"Sorry, Al. I... Mh!"
The sudden pain had stopped the elf's leg on its tracks. She started to apologize, but before she could finish, her mouth was closed off by the princess's lips.
"There's nothing that you need to apologize for, Rem. If anything, I've been completely relying on you. As such, today... I'll make you feel real good."
"Al... Ah!"
The girl massaged Rem's breasts with her hands before taking her nipples, poking through the water's surface, into her mouth. She covered them in saliva and flicked them with her tongue—now back into a soft human one—and as she did, waves of joy spread from the elf's chest all over her body.
"Al, your mouth... is so warm... Ahn!"
Wanting to share this pleasure with the girl, Rem began moving her hands towards her. The princess prevented her from doing so, however, by tickling her armpits.
"Nope. I told you, it's your turn to feel good today."
"But, I... Hii!?"
Before Rem could finish her sentence, Alferez pinned her right wrist on the ground and moved her tongue over to the elf's now-defenceless armpit, a part of her body that was rarely presented to others, and began licking it. As you could have expected, the embarrassment she felt was immense.
"No, stop! Don't lick me in weird places... Hey, this is seriously not okay... Noo... If you do that, then... Ahn! Aaahh!"
Getting her armpits tickled was simply too much for Rem to endure. And yet, no matter how much she tossed and turned, with the girl's full weight pinning her down, she couldn't get away. She tried pushing her off her using her hips, but that attempt failed too as Alferez launched her second attack against the elf's left side, this time with her fingers. Though the elf's sides were already sensitive under normal circumstances, being underwater had made them doubly so. She was getting tickled from both directions, and felt as if the very insides of her head were being stirred up.
"Ha! Ahn! Haa! N-Noo... I can't stop moaning..."
"Don't worry, your moans are really cute. Besides, there's no one else here besides me hearing them. Come, moan as hard as you please."
"N-No way... Aaahn!"
You could tell that the princess truly had recovered from how mean-spirited she was. She was clearly enjoying torturing the elf with her fingers and tongue, to the point that Rem found herself getting a little worried. Nevertheless, the unbearable throb soon washed over her entire body, causing her back and hips to begin jumping up and down. Her fingers and toes were clenching and then releasing in rapid succession.
"Please, I'm begging you... I'm... I'm going crazy!!"
Something really was going to happen to both her body and mind if this kept going. Hearing Rem scream like she was genuinely begging for her life let the girl know too that she had maybe overdone it a little bit. She decided to change the way she used her tongue. With fine movements, like those of a kitten, she drew spirals into the elf's armpit.
"Ah... Ahh... Huh?"
Just then, something sparked inside Rem. The princess's touch still tickled her like before. And yet, for some reason, she now wanted to be tickled. In contrast to how violent she had been just moments earlier, Alferez's tongue now moved slowly and delicately, sending sweet throbs all the way to the elf's core. Soon later, the girl's left hand, the one that had been playing with Rem's side, switched its place as well. It moved from her hips to her navel, then through her pubic hair before finally reaching her crotch, which the princess then caressed with her thin nails.
"Aaaahh..."
Rem's voice shook. Shivers of pure bliss travelled through her back to her neck, tickling her on their way.
"Does it feel good?" the girl asked quietly. It obviously did, and all Rem could give as an answer were repeated nods. Perhaps satisfied by her answer, Alferez moved her fingers away from the elf's groin over to her thigh, on which she began drawing circles. No matter where the girl touched her, it felt incredible, and before Rem realized, her legs had spread open on their own. As if this was what she had been waiting for all along, Alferez ran her fingers up the elf's inner thigh and began caressing her loosened up slit.
"Ah! Ahhn!"
She tickled Rem's lowers lips using multiple fingers, just like she had done with her side moments earlier. As she knew how sensitive the elf was down here, Alferez deliberately focused on touching only the exterior parts, allowing her to experience pleasure rather than pain. And what pleasure it was. Rem tossed and turned and moaned, not in agony this time, but in ecstasy. Seeing her in such a state, the princess couldn't help but to kiss her. The elf extended her arm as if welcoming her in, and as their lips touched, her slit shivered violently.
"Yes, more... Haa... Haaa... Ahh... It feels really good... Aaahhn!"
"Hmm, you want it that badly? Well then, how about this", Alferez said before pulling her lips away with a pop. Then, with a mysterious smile on her face, she lifted Rem's bottom from the water, submerging half of her own body to allow the elf's legs to rest on her shoulders. It was obvious what she was planning to do. Rem's chest swelled up with anticipation, and not long after, Alferez's tongue entered her slit.
"Aaahn!"
The way the princess used her tongue was much gentler than usual. It was as if she was trying to soothe her pain. One by one, she licked through all of Rem's folds. Though the spring had washed away most of her virginal blood, the elf's privates still throbbed painfully, but this really did make them feel better. Little by little, pleasure washed over her entire body, and, slowly but surely, she lifted herself up.
"Ah... Ahn... Aah... Your tongue... It... it feels incredible... Haa.. Ahhn..."
The way Alferez moved her tongue as she soothed Rem's slit was extremely simplistic, but at the same time, more than enough to cause the elf's chest to throb. She wanted more. Needed more. Pleasure mixed with pain, and soon enough, the throb reached her crotch.
"Noo... It feels too good... I'm... I'm...! Aaaahn!"
Rem's butt jumped up and down, creating splashes as it hit the water's surface. Even when some of that water landed on Alferez's face, the girl showed no signs of stopping. Rather, she only pushed her tongue deeper, now licking up the elf's insides as well.
"Hyaaahn!"
The pain she had felt was slowly fading away, and the saliva flowing into her body was likely to be thanked for it. Nevertheless, just like Rem, Alferez too had lost her virginity. There was no way that the elf could allow herself to be the only one getting soothed. With trembling fingers she stroked the girl's hair and lifted her head.
"Al... Turn your butt—"
"Mh..."
Though her sentence had been cut short, it was still more than enough for Alferez to understand what Rem had meant. The elf pulled herself out of the spring, lay down on the sand, and soon enough, the princess's pale, round bottom was placed on her face.
"Lick it..."
Though Alferez had said that she would be the one making Rem feel good today, it seemed that she had reached her limit. She turned her face, now completely red, towards the elf and with a shrivelled voice, asked her to pleasure her. There they were, right before her face. The privates of her lover, oozing out thick honey and radiating such heat that you wouldn't believe that she just gotten out of the spring. The sight of them alone caused Rem's mouth to water. Unable to stop herself, she munched onto the princess's slit.
"Haaa...."
"Aaaahhn!"
A loud moan left Alferez's mouth. It might very well just have been her imagination, but Rem kinda felt like she tasted blood. If so, then this was the girl's first time, the one that she had wanted to make her own. Sadness and thoughts of what could have been filled the elf's mind, but she quickly pushed them away and, wanting to recover as much as she could, began stirring up the princess's insides with her tongue.
"Y-You're going too fast... Haa! Ah! Ahn! Aaahh!"
Alferez's butt rocked back and forth. She was right, Rem was going way too fast. The elf knew this as well. Nevertheless, the thick honey gushing on her lips had made her lose her calm completely. It was simply impossible for her to slow down. With her head shaking up and down, she licked out every inch of the girl's walls.
"Ah... Ahhn... No way... Haa... Ahh... Hnnnnghhh!!"
Her body shaking in pleasure, Alferez launched a counter-attack. She spread the elf's lower lips open with her fingers before rolling her tongue over the tissue surrounding her hole. As the girls tickled each other's slit, sweet nectar gushed out which they then proceeded to swallow, and with every gulp, they felt their heads grow hazier. The reason why they were doing this—to soothe the pain of having lost their virginity—had long left their mind, and at this point, all that the two could focus on was seeking mutual pleasure.
"Haa... Aaah... More... Give me more..."
"Me too... I want to drink more of... Rem's sweet honey..."
The animal-like moans of the two, as well as the obscene sound of nectar being slurped up, now filled the cave. The worry of someone walking in no longer existed in their heads. Wanting to make more love juice shoot out, Alferez and Rem both simultaneously sucked onto the other's clitoris.
"Hnnnnghh!"
Two similarly high-pitched screams echoed through the cave. The sudden yet sharp wave of pleasure had carried them both with it to climax. Their hips shook, and yet, neither Rem nor Alferez stopped touching the other girl. Rather, the orgasm turning their skin super sensitive had caused them to become even hornier.
"W-Wait! Al! If you touch me like that right now, then... Ahn! Haa! Hnngh!"
"You too, Rem! If you keep touching my... weak spots... Aaaahh!!"
Rem's lips travelled up Alferez's thigh, reaching her navel, then her nipple, and at last, the two embraced each other and began kissing passionately. A strand of saliva dripped out through the elf's lips and landed on the princess's jaw, which she then quickly licked up and returned to the mouth where it belonged. Their lower halves hadn't been forgotten either, and their thighs rubbed against each other's crotch. Every single rub caused a violent jolt of ecstasy to pierce through their heads, causing all thoughts that weren't related to the pursuit of pleasure to leave their minds.
"Aahn! Ahn! Aaah! Aaaaahhn!"
They couldn't even tell whether any particular moan tickling their ears belonged to them or to the other girl. Still kissing, the two girls lifted themselves up, and with their legs crossed and hands on each other's hips, pushed their crotches together.
"Aaaahh!"
In that instant, a wave of tremendous pleasure swept over them. Their hips began moving on their own, causing their bottoms to rock obscenely and their genitals to rub together.
"Ahn! This feels incredible! Noo, it's too good! I'm losing my mind!"
"Me... Me too! Haa! Aahh! Ahn! Hnngh!"
Their folds layered on top of each other, like lips kissing, and any remaining bits of sense left their minds. Rem's head arched, prompting Alferez to run her tongue along her jaw. As she did, the elf's fingers pinched her stiffened nipples.
"Haaa! Aaahh! It's coming... I'm... I'm going to cum again..."
"Rem, wait! I'm almost there too! Let's... cum together! Haa! Ahhn!"
All the pain had transformed into pleasure and now fully wrapped their bodies. With their breasts pressed together, the girls embraced and kissed each other using both of their pairs of lips.
"Haaaa... Aaah..."
It was impossible to tell what Rem wanted to say as all that came out of her mouth were incomprehensible moans. She moved her hips in a circle, and the pleasure resulting from her nipples and privates rubbing against Alferez's soon swallowed her body. The same happened to the princess.
"Cumming! I'm... I'm really cumming!"
"Me too, me too! No way! Noo! Cumming! Aaaaahh!!"
The girl had told her to wait, but her back was now arching instead. Convulsing wildly, she shook her hips again and again and again. Though it wasn't her intention, this up-and-down motion caused friction between their clitorises. The resulting shockwave forced Rem's body to jolt up.
"Ah! Ahh! No way... No way!!"
"Rem, don't move! I'm... I'm cumming again! Ahn! Aaaahh!"
The two girls had become sensitive all over, and touching them anywhere was now enough to cause throbs to shoot through them. Even so, their bodies, trembling from back-to-back orgasms, were no longer theirs to control; all they could do was cling onto each other. They were trapped in a river of pleasure and reached climax a countless number of times before eventually passing out.
