Night had
fallen upon the town of Grand Dane, leaving the streets dark and quiet.
However, things could not have been more alive in the town's largest
building, for a great celebration was taking place. Ornate candles lit the
room as if it were daylight, and almost everyone in town was there talking,
drinking, laughing and dancing to their heart's content. The leader of the
town, Lord Bowe, mingled with everyone from his closest aids to complete
strangers who were invited simply because they lived in his district.
Bowe, a bearded young man drank and laughed heartily with his friends,
while his eyes periodically wandered to his beautiful wife, Chrissa, a maiden
whose golden locks shimmered like pure sunshine and whose smile illuminated like
the moon. She danced in the center of the immense ballroom, smiling
politely ass he exchanged partners every few moments, flashing her perfect smile
at every young man who counted their blessings to view such an intimate glimpse
of her.
The laughter was suddenly replaced with screams as the hall's
entrance burst open and two guards were thrown to the floor like dolls. A
massive creature roared into the hall, his cry echoing throughout. Guards
rushed with their swords and spears drawn, but the monster simply lashed out
with his long arms and massive fists, knocking the guards against a wall or
sending them sliding across the floor.
"We must get you to safety
Lord Bowe!"
"I will not leave without Chrissa!" Bowe vehemently
insisted.
"We will bring her as well, but please move and you will meet
up with her outside!"
The creature quickly made his way deeper into the
great hall, the guards and party guests were nothing more than simple barricades
to him, rather than any real form of resistance. He ran into the two
guards that were sent to retrieve Bowe's wife, they shouted at Chrissa to escape
but they were quickly struck down by the creature during their momentary focus
away from him. Frozen with terror in the center of the dance floor,
Chrissa stared at the creature with her green eyes widened. The creature
swung and knocked her to the floor with the back of his hand.
"Where is
Chrissa?!" demanded Bowe.
Tears flowed down Chrissa's cheeks as she was
pressed against a marble pillar, her body stripped violently of her all
clothing. The creature tore off the last scraps of fabric and almost
gloated. His massive cock rose to hardness and he savouringly licked his
long tongue across Chrissa's creamy back.
"Chrissa!" Bowe screamed as his
guards carried him away, his wife's screams echoing through the empty
hall.
***
Five nights later
Lord Bowe sat
despondently at his desk, oblivious to the pile of papers that awaited his
attention. The sun shined brightly through the large window behind him,
but his mood was a complete contrast. His wife's screams still echoed
through his brain, and the sight of her nude, ravaged body haunted his
nightmares. He found no solace in his work as he had hoped, the papers may
as well have been written in a foreign tongue, for he could not comprehend them
with his mind so distracted.
"Sir?" a voice asked. The sudden sound
startled Bowe and it took him a moment to recognize the voice as his
assistant.
"Yes?" he replied.
"There is someone to see you sir,
she says it is about the creature who, attacked Chrissa," the assistant
explained carefully, knowing Bowe's emotional state.
Bowe paused,
contemplating if he was prepared to even think about the night's events again.
His instincts however, goaded him into at least seeing the visitor.
"Let her in then," he finally agreed.
The door to his office opened
and a beautiful young woman in a long, dark blue cloak entered. Her auburn
locks flowed gracefully behind her while her icy blue eyes shimmered in the
bright sunlight. Bowe was taken aback by the woman's presence, but the
gentleman inside of him stopped him from gawking at her beauty.
"Good day
Lord Bowe, my name is Karyn."
"Karyn? I have heard of some of your
exploits, some lands have declared you a goddess," said Bowe.
"I am no
goddess," insisted Karyn, "I am just a mortal, but I am committed to enforcing
righteousness. I understand that your village was recently attacked by a
creature known as Grendel," said Karyn.
"Yes, and it baffles me
immensely," replied Bowe. "Grendel was supposed to be a myth, from an
ancient poem, not a real creature."
"Myths are almost always based in
some part on reality," said Karyn. "Clearly the poem was more than just a
poem, but a historical record."
"How did you even know of the situation?
What brought you to journey to our village?" asked Bowe.
"I have
heard of your plight, for words of tragedy move great distances," explained
Karyn. "I have trained for much of my life to fight such monsters as
Grendel, and I assure you he will not ravage your village nor defile anymore of
your women again."
"I cannot ask you to even attempt to stop Grendel,"
insisted Lord Bowe.
"You need not ask, I will do it because it is right,"
countered Karyn.
"I do not doubt the nobility of your motives, but I
question if you are qualified to do so," explained Lord Bowe.
"My master
has trained me for much of my life to fight monsters, and I have defeated many
in the past," reiterated Karyn.
"It is just that..." Lord Bowe paused, it
was clear he was nervous about continuing.
"You presume that because of
my gender I am incapable of defeating the creature?" Karyn suggested with a hint
of sarcasm in her voice.
"It is not that, I mean nothing but the deepest
respect for you Karyn, it is just that this creature, well, let us just say that
your gender may be a disadvantage against such a beast, he seems to enjoy the
defilement of, women."
Choosing not to question him further after sensing
the strain in his voice, Karyn shifted the topic slightly. "This was the
first time he had ever come to your village?"
"Yes, we had heard reports
of a creature killing livestock and destroying some houses in the countryside,
but we foolishly paid them little attention. They were always just
ramblings of a frightened sheepherd or farmer, no one had even seen the
creature clearly, until now," admitted Bowe.
"And, I have heard that your
wife..." Karyn began carefully.
"Was ravaged by Grendel, yes," Bowe
interrupted with a blurt, as if hoping to get the words quickly out of his
mouth.
Karyn paused before continuing. "May I see her?"
"I
do not think that would be appropriate," replied Bowe, his voice cracking with
emotion. "Chrissa is in a very fragile state right now."
"You seem
hesitant to speak of this creature, I think it would be best if I learned all I
could about it before confronting it," explained Karyn.
"Then I will tell
you what little I can," said Chrissa, who appeared suddenly in the
doorway.
"No Chrissa, you must rest!" insisted Bowe, who ran to his
wife's side.
"Bowe, I love you so much, but I cannot be hidden away
despite what happened," said Chrissa, her voice stern yet still soft.
"It
is not as though I wish to isolate you my love, but rather I want you to make a
full recovery from your ordeal," said Bowe.
"I appreciate that, I admit
that I have needed much, time to myself, but at this moment I would like to at
least hear what this brave woman has to say to us," said Chrissa.
"Thank
you my lady," said Karyn, "I have heard of what happened to you and I wish to
end this abomination's reign of terror."
"You mean, you wish to kill the
creature?" asked Chrissa, the shock evident in her voice.
"Yes," replied
Karyn, who noticed Chrissa was visibly shaken.
"It is just that, the
creature is so strong, and I do not know if any man, or woman could ever fell
it," explained Chrissa.
"Every creature has a weak point," said Karyn,
"it is only a matter of luring it out and finding it."
***
The
Great Hall of Bowe -a few nights later
The great hall
appeared little more than a ghost of its former self, tables were still knocked
over and weapons from fallen soldiers still remained. Only the bodies of
fallen comrades were taken out, nobody wanted to remain in the hall any longer
than necessary. Karyn waited patiently, kneeling on the floor with her
eyes closed in a meditative stance. She had told Lord Bowe to try and
spread the word of another grand gathering at the hall in the hopes that Grendel
will return. Night had fallen and the air had grown cold, everyone in town
was ordered to remain locked in their houses, even Bowe's soldiers were ordered
to keep away from the hall. Despite Bowe's reservations, Karyn was
persistent in her demands.
Suddenly the doors of the great hall flung
open, the hinges straining to remain intact after the might force applied.
Karyn opened her eyes and focused upon the creature who appeared before
her, his large yellow eyes piercing the darkness to gaze upon the beautiful
warrior.
"Grendel," growled Karyn as she studied her
opponent.
Grendel's stature was immense, almost filling the entire , door
frame even though his posture was hunched over. His arms hung just past
his knees, his mouth was filled with sharp teeth, and his jaw hung open like a
ravenous wolf, drool glistening down his chin and long tongue. His rough,
leather-like skin was a shade of green-grey, and from the pale candlelight in
the room, Karyn could see he was completely naked, and his cock stood
erect.
Karyn drew her sword and stood ready, her icy blue eyes narrowing
at Grendel as his lips curled into what looked like a twisted smile.
Growling, he rushed at Karyn, his body possessing incredible speed for a
creature his size. There was much distance for Grendel to cover before he
was above Karyn however, which gave the warrior enough time to
react.
Karyn's first swing of her sword connected, but also dictated the
flow of the battle, for her sword merely bounced off Grendel's tough skin,
chipping a few of his scales but doing little more damage than that.
Undeterred, Karyn ducked and wove around Grendel's meaty fist as it sailed
past her, slashing several more times at his seemingly impervious hide.
Each slash did nothing more than her first strike, the frustration inside
Karyn grew to a point where she became preoccupied with devising a new strategy.
During this lapse, as Karyn's latest blow connected, Grendel's forward
momentum caused a sudden shift in the direction of her sword, throwing Karyn
slightly off balance. Although Karyn managed to immediately regain her
footing, her split-second pause was enough for Grendel to knock Karyn to the
hard floor with a swing of his massive arm.
With his opponent down,
Grendel pounded Karyn into the ground, his fist connecting with her stomach
repeatedly until Karyn could barely breathe. Karyn attempted to roll out
of the way but Grendel's fist was too large and too fast, even a partial
connection with a single knuckle was like a strong man's full fisted punch.
Once Karyn had stopped even attempting to roll between punches, Grendel
paused and growled with satisfaction, his eyes fixated lustfully on
Karyn.
Her body weakened, Karyn could only watch and experience as
Grendel began removing her clothes, starting with her leather bustier.
With one swift motion of his arms the strings that held the garment
together snapped, leaving it a useless leather scrap that fell off her newly
exposed breasts. Grendel licked his lips with satisfaction and hunger upon
the sight of Karyn's mammaries, her nipples were erect and tempting. The
creature then ripped off Karyn's pants and boots, leaving her body in all its
naked beauty. His panting increased, warm drool fell off his tongue to
fall between Karyn's heaving breasts while his erection noticeably
grew.
Grendel grasped Karyn's sleek thighs and spread them apart as he
advanced on her, pointing his cock directly at her open sex. The creature
groaned hard, a monstrous cry of pleasure that echoed throughout the massive
hall as he entered Karyn, his massive cockhead parting the soft, tender lips of
her womanhood. A moan escaped Karyn's sensual mouth as Grendel began
pushing with his hips, rocking Karyn's nude body as his meat caressed the warm
insides of her vagina. Karyn distanced herself mentally from her body as
she had been trained to do, but despite Grendel's monstrous appearance, his
touch was deft and arousing; which, coupled with the beastial enthusiasm he
humped Karyn's vagina with, made his attentions difficult to ignore. Karyn
found herself involuntarily reacting to his touches, her legs wrapped around his
massive waist, locking her body against his and pushing his meat deeper inside
her belly. Grendel began humping faster, Karyn began panting faster, her
tits swaying with her body's gyrations, erect nipples bobbing and flicking
droplets of sweat into the air. Karyn closed her eyes with bliss and her
hands wandered to Grendel's massive wrists, gripping tightly to them as she
surrendered to her lust.
Soon, Karyn became more than willing to couple
with the massive beast; his thrusts were met in perfect time with thrusts of her
own. Moans of pain and resistance turned to moans of pleasure and
insistence. When she experienced her first climax with Grendel, her scream
came out as a pure release of ecstasy, and her following breathy moans coincided
with bursts of rapture as she felt Grendel pump his warm seed into her womb.
As Grendel pulled himself out, Karyn felt almost as if her insides
collapsed and a great void was left inside of her. She stared longingly at
Grendel's dripping member for a moment and quickly pounced, grasping it in her
hands and opening her mouth to swallow as much as she could. Karyn moaned
with satisfaction as she tasted his stiff meat, still wet with her vaginal honey
and his cum.
Grendel's long arms reached around to fondle Karyn's hanging
tits, squeezing her stiff nipples and milking the soft melons. Karyn
worked her tongue around Grendel's massive cock in her mouth, basting its entire
length with saliva while her cheeks grew taut with her sucking motions.
Grendel relished in the sound of her mouth working to pleasure him, his
hands left her bosom to grasp her auburn locks, bunching them between his
fingers as he pushed Karyn harder against himself. The creature knew when
to ease his hand, he knew how far Karyn could swallow his meat before choking,
before she could no longer properly pleasure him.
Grendel threw his head
back and growled, letting his cry echo throughout the massive hall as his cock
burst its warm load into Karyn's mouth. Karyn swallowed as much as she
could, desperately wanting to drink every drop, but it proved impossible.
She began to choke on some of his excess cum and soon her chin and breasts
were stained with white cream. Grendel's load proved to be extremely
large, he still had enough to splatter Karyn's face, breasts and hair with his
juices after withdrawing from her sucking lips, leaving a trail of saliva and
cum as they parted.
"I need you inside me again," begged Karyn as she
licked her lips clean of Grendel's semen.
Grendel slowly leaned back
until he laid almost flat on the ground, his cock jutting up like a spear.
Karyn squatted over Grendel and positioned his cock over her open vagina,
wincing as they touched wetly for a moment, lubricated by their own juices.
Karyn felt Grendel's strong hands push down on her shoulders and she let
herself fall down on top of him. She moaned as she felt him rush inside
her, her vagina lips caressing his every inch. Immediately Karyn began to
bounce with her hips, sliding up and down his cock, throwing her head back and
arching her spine as waves of pleasure spread through her body. Her hands
caressed her body wantonly, fondling her bouncing, sweat-soaked breasts as she
tossed her long auburn locks and rode her lover relentlessly, increasing the
tempo of her thrusts.
Karyn and Grendel kissed each other deeply on the
mouth, their tongues caressing despite their size difference. Karyn simply
opened her mouth as much as she could and let Grendel's tongue slide inside.
Their embrace grew fiercer and more passionate as their orgasms
approached, their sensual cries forming a duet of lustful release. Karyn
panted weakly as she climaxed first, arching her back, tossing her perspiration
soaked hair as her vagina clenched tightly around Grendel's meat buried inside
her. Grendel came shortly after, stiffening as his cock exploded inside
Karyn one more time. Karyn writhed on top of Grendel, ecstasy overwhelming
her senses as his warm seed gushed inside her, overflow dribbling down her
sleek, spread thighs.
Karyn collapsed onto Grendel, exhausted from her
powerful orgasm. She rested on Grendel's heaving, muscular chest, panting
desperately for air as the fever inside of her cooled down. She was
allowed a few moments peace before Grendel shifted beneath her and forced her
off, once again pulling himself out of the beautiful warrior to leave her in a
state of need. Lying on her stomach, Karyn was too weak to resist or even
do more than moan with protest. Grendel had felt so good inside of her,
although the feeling of his cock sliding out of her womanhood was enough to
elicit a small sensation of pleasure. Karyn was left to rest on the cold
floor of the hall, in a puddle of sweat and love juices, hers as well as her
lover's.
Grendel stood up and licked Karyn one last time from the swell
of her gleaming buttocks to her smooth, sensual shoulders before bounding down
the great hall and departing into the night.
A few moments of silence
passed, where Karyn's only movements were her exhausted, laboured breaths.
Even though she had just been brutally ravaged by the creature, the fact
that she had become willing to couple with him lingered.
"Karyn?!" a
concerned voice echoed suddenly, interrupting her thoughts. Karyn slowly
stood up, modestly covered her breasts and womanhood with her arms and did her
best to wipe the excess semen from her lips and thighs, hoping the darkness
would also work as a concealment.
"I am here," she responded, her voice
weakened from exhaustion and a throat coated with Grendel's
seed.
***
"Karyn, I can't even begin to apologize for what
happened," said Lord Bowe as he stood meekly in the doorway of his most
prestigious , guest room which he had insisted on giving Karyn despite her
reluctance to accept it.
"Do not concern yourself," explained Karyn as
she laid in bed, her body and hair were recently washed by Bowe's servants, and
a white sleeping shift given to Karyn adorned her frame. Even as they
spoke there were maids brushing Karyn's damp hair and tidying up the room,
ensuring it was fit for a queen.
"I can not help but concern myself, the
horror of being ravaged by such a creature, and we did nothing to assist you in
your time of need..."
"There was no time of need," interrupted Karyn, "I
told you to stay away from the great hall, the beast was mine to fight.
And I admit I did not succeed but I will not dwell upon my
defeat."
"Karyn, I admire your bravery and determination, but I sincerely
hope you do not rush blindly into battle. I know if will take time to
recover from such a horrible ordeal."
"Yes, a horrible ordeal," echoed
Karyn as the maid brushing her hair finished and politely left the room.
Soon the other maids left and even Bowe gave his goodnight to the auburn
warrior.
The last candle had been extinguished by the maid and the doors
were shut, leaving only the moonlight from some nearby windows to illuminate the
room. Karyn stared blankly at the large windows rather than sleep, her
mind seemed focused on them. Then she found her attention focused beyond
the windows, to the outside. Karyn slowly pulled herself out of bed and
walked casually to the window, opening it to let the cool night air inside.
The scent of rain wafted in, as did something else. A strange
sensation Karyn could not describe overcame her, it did not feel pleasurable nor
painful, but it tugged at her incessantly, as if coaxing her to go somewhere.
Her hands already opened the window all the way and reached outside, she
resisted for a moment but her right foot slipped out and she boosted herself
through the window and wandered into the forest.
As Karyn entered the
thick foliage, a torrent began pouring down upon her. The raindrops found
their way through the trees, but Karyn ignored their icy touch and continued to
dash through the woods, the rain soaking her hair and her shift, until the
garment clung to her every curve. Her breasts bounced inside her wet
clothes as she continued running, something guided her to a discrete location in
the woods, Karyn being oblivious as to its nature, but knowing it would satisfy
a deep hunger she felt inside of her.
Guided by this mysterious force,
Karyn found herself deep inside the forest, where a large slope of rock stood
before her. Inside the rock was a large cave entrance, which Karyn
observed to be carved by what looked like large tools that no man could ever
wield. Despite the darkness that greeted her inside, Karyn found herself
casually walking deeper into it. The cave was extremely deep, but as Karyn
went further inside and the moonlight ceased to illuminate her surroundings, it
was replaced with a soft orange flow. Karyn soon noticed that there were
crude torches carved into the walls, which revealed discarded human bones strewn
about. Their quantity only increased in volume as she continued. Yet
somehow, she felt no concern or hesitance to continue.
Sounds began to
echo through the cave, but they were distorted and faint. Karyn ran
towards them without fear, driven by curiosity and a growing feeling of desire.
Soon the groans became louder and more audible, but they only remained
familiar sounds rather than recognizable ones. Karyn turned a corner and
gasped at the sight that met her; the monstrous Grendel, and beneath him was
Chrissa, Bowe's beautiful wife.
Grendel was groaning, his body jerking as
he thrusted with his hips into Chrissa's warm vagina, the beautiful woman was
naked and on her hands and knees, moaning harshly with pleasure as she bucked in
time with Grendel. Her moans seemed almost as beastly as Grendel's, as
well as sounding almost like the desperate moans of a deprived lover. A
nearby fire lit the room with an orange hue, causing the lover's feverish bodies
to shimmer as they writhed as one.
Grendel held Chrissa's waist tightly,
groaning as he buried himself deep inside Chrissa's wet vagina, humping
her bobbing ass harder and harder until he could not contain himself any longer.
He groaned as he released his load, soaking Chrissa's clenched cunt,
splattering her thighs with his excess seed. A visible smile formed on
Chrissa's face, she rested her face against the cave's dirt floor while her ass
remained upraised, Grendel's cock continuing to pour warm semen inside of
her.
Grendel pulled out of Chrissa suddenly and faced Karyn. The
auburn warrior panted as she stared at Grendel, her breasts heaving beneath the
shift, the material seemed to slip off her shoulders with every breath.
Grendel's grotesquely large mouth turned up in a smile, almost as if he
was expecting Karyn to find him. Yet there was a smugness in his grin
which suggested a sense of superiority, of victory.
Karyn slowly slipped
out of her shift, discarding it blindly over her shoulder, her wet, naked body
flowing in the light of the roaring fire. Karyn began breathing harder,
the heat against her skin seemed more intense, sweat began beading off her
curves, mixing with the rainwater as she slowly stepped up to Grendel, who
awaited her eagerly.
Closing her eyes and sighing with submission, Karyn
turned to fall back against Grendel, entering his strong embrace. Karyn
raised her arms to allow Grendel more access to her sensual body, his right hand
reached around to grope and fondle her luscious tits while his left wandered
between her open thighs to caress her throbbing womanhood. Grendel's
nostrils flared as he sniffed Karyn's hair, it still smelled freshly washed, and
her skin was like satin against his tough hide. Karyn writhed and moaned
as Grendel's attentions between her legs excited her clitoris, she could feel
his cock grow stiff and begin to slide between her buttocks.
Grendel
turned Karyn to face the nearest wall of his cave, Karyn pressed her hands
against the wall and spread her legs apart, tossing her hair as she turned to
give Grendel a sensual look. Grendel pressed his massive palms over
Karyn's as he positioned himself behind her and pushed his cock into her warm
vagina. Karyn moaned and leaned back into Grendel, flexing with her arms
and buttocks to push him deeper inside of her, trying to match Grendel's own
humping motions. Soon the two lovers were writhing smoothly, their bodies
joined and parting. Karyn leaned her head back, crying with ecstasy as
Grendel's hands wandered over her body, milking her bouncing breasts while her
body continued to buck against his. Karyn leaned her head back, allowing
Grendel's tongue to lick her face and neck before painting her breasts with his
saliva, relishing in the taste of her flushed skin.
Karyn moaned loudly
as she bounced desperately against Grendel, begging for the climax she desired.
It came so suddenly she could only weakly pant and arch her back, her
vagina clenched around Grendel's member buried deep inside her, squeezing it
like a vice as it pumped thick semen inside her tight belly. The overflow
washed over her labia and dribbled down her trembling thighs.
For a while
the two lovers remained mostly still, breathing together, still joined at their
hips, still one. Karyn simply leaned against the wall, pushing backwards
with her ass, perspiration soaked hair framing her flushed, panting face, her
breasts hanging and dripping beneath her while Grendel's member continued to
fill her with warmth. Suddenly Grendel held Karyn by her slender arms and
pushed her off, almost discarding her to the cold ground. Karyn moaned
weakly in protest, Grendel had felt so good inside of her, and now she faced the
familiar sensation of emptiness. Grendel ignored her and returned to
Chrissa, who awaited Grendel eagerly by reassuming her position on all fours,
spreading her thighs apart invitingly.
With her face turned away, Karyn
could only hear Chrissa's moan of pleasure as Grendel began humping her again.
Karyn rolled off her back, wincing as more love milk leaked from her
vagina as she shifted. She stared at the wanton display before her,
Grendel the wild beast fucking the beautiful Chrissa, her hair flailing wildly
and her body flexing to match his monstrous enthusiasm. Karyn felt so cold
and needful as she watched them, alone while a desire bloomed within
her.
Karyn crawled to the two lovers, kneeling in front of Chrissa as
Grendel forced her on her knees as he pounded into her from behind.
Overcome with an overpowering lust, Karyn leaned forward to kiss Chrissa
harshly on the mouth. Chrissa only moaned in reply, fully accepting Karyn
and returning her kiss with equal passion, their tongues caressing softly.
Chrissa thrust her chest forward while her body shook, making her breasts
bounce even more alluringly, inviting Karyn to suck them.
Grendel pulled
out, and instead of coming inside Chrissa, he chose to shower her and Karyn with
his load. The two women allowed his warm juices to splatter all over their
bodies and faces, not waiting for the creature to finish before beginning to
lick each other clean. Karyn leaned back as Chrissa began licking her
chest, painting her large breasts with saliva and cleaning them of Grendel's
cream. With white cream falling down her chin, Chrissa leaned forward to
once again kiss Karyn passionately on the lips, slipping her tongue inside the
auburn warrior's mouth to share the taste of Grendel's cock cream.
"He
called you did he not?" asked Chrissa with a soft whisper into Karyn's
ear.
"Yes, I could not hear it, but I could feel his desire, and my own,"
replied Karyn, her voice equally breathless.
"I do not know why I
surrendered so easily Karyn, such a beast yet he feels so good inside of me, I
know this is wrong but oh gods I cannot help myself," moaned Chrissa before
giving Karyn another voracious kiss, this time almost knocking the warrior to
the ground.
Upon Chrissa's admission, an idea suddenly formed in Karyn's
mind. She discretely pushed Chrissa aside, winking at her as a signal to
keep out of her way. Then, Karyn secretly grasped a splintered bone from
the floor, one of many that were strewn about, and spread her sultry legs for
Grendel, leaning back against the stone wall, licking and pursing her lips to
tempt him to take her again. She knew Grendel's skin was impervious to
bladed weapons from their previous encounter, but now, she knew of the one spot
on the monster that was just as soft and vulnerable as any other man's.
Grendel had no idea what attack was coming as he approached Karyn and
reached to indulge himself in her sensual flesh once
again.
***
Grand Dane - Bowe's manor the next
morning
"The monster was slain?!" Bowe gasped as he held Chrissa in
his arms, her naked body covered in a blanket.
"Yes, he died of massive
blood loss," explained Karyn as she clung to her dirty shift. Two of
Bowe's servants quickly rushed to Karyn's side to drape her body in a fleece
blanket to protect her from the morning cold.
"How? I thought you
said the creature's hide was impervious?" asked Bowe.
Karyn handed Bowe a
large sack that she had brought with her from Grendel's cave. Bowe took it
warily, for the sack was clearly bloodstained. He took a quick glimpse
inside and almost dropped with shock. Sitting inside was Grendel's severed
manhood.
"Grendel was clearly a male," explained Karyn. "And men
all have the same weaknesses."
"Yes, well," Bowe stuttered as he handed
the sack to a nearby aide, who accepted it hesitantly. "Karyn, I, as well
as my kingdom thanks you for your deed, you have..."
"I have done what I
promised to do, I accept your thanks and do not desire any sort of favours or
debts," interrupted Karyn.
"At the very least Karyn, let me share my
thanks with you," said Chrissa. "May I speak with her privately my
husband?"
"Yes, absolutely," said Bowe as he waved his aides to leave the
room. He joined them shortly after kissing his wife gently on the
lips.
Once everyone had left, Chrissa turned to Karyn and whispered to
her. "Does he know?"
"No, and he never will," replied
Karyn.
"I feel so horrible Karyn, I do not want him to think I would
think of the monster the next time we couple, because I will not, I assure you,"
insisted Chrissa.
"I need no convincing," said Karyn. "Your word is
good enough."
"I, I can not explain it Karyn, what happened to
us?"
"Perhaps Grendel had some sort of mild magical power, or perhaps his
scales emitted some sort of pheromone, or, perhaps it was something else.
As far as anyone else is concerned, we were both victims of Grendel's
ravages. However, between just us, we more than just victims, perhaps
closer to slaves."
"Karyn, I know how you felt when Grendel ravaged you,
just as I felt the same way. But I must know Karyn, a woman of your
integrity and strength, why did you simply allow it to happen? Why did you
wait so long before taking action?"
"Because," Karyn began, casting her
eyes downward as if confessing a great sin, "I enjoyed it."
