In a time long forgotten to the mists of time in the land of Eyeon, a young man by the name of Richart made his way to Karin Kingdom. He had just turned seventeen years of age, Richart was short in stature with straight blonde hair hanging over a chiseled face. Darting amber eyes were set rooted within their sockets and surveyed all they saw. A fire had left a mark stretching from just under the left eyebrow, first running towards thin lips and ending on his left cheek. This was a painful reminder of when his village was destroyed by a dragon known as Dalbinth Destroyer of Life.
Richart escaped with only the clothes on his back. His long sleeved, hide jacket covered him to well below his groin and was bound at the bottom right side. The deep V-neck revealed part of the relatively simple shirt worn below it and was worn with a wide leather belt, which was held together by an intricate knot. The leather belt was a functional addition, but did have some decorative value. The sleeves of his jacket were wide and reached down to just above his hands, they were decorated with a single thread lining from top to bottom. His pants were simple and a little wide and reached down to his soft leather boots. The boots had been made from a very rare leather, but were otherwise quite simple.
After three arduous days of walking through the Ancient Maple Grove Forest, Richart saw the village of Iyesgarth in the distance. He knew that Misty Mountain and The Misty Hollows Cave, home to Dalbinth the dragon were within reach. With an extra bounce in his step and a broad smile on his face, Richart soon found himself at the entrance to the village.
Richart's amber eyes widened in shock at the sight before him. Walking past what was left of the once massive Maplewood gate, he saw the scorched and smoldering bodies of men. Further along there were bodies of women and even children. There were few structures which remained standing and those were heavily damaged.
Weapons laid strewn all about, most had never been drawn from their sheaths and arrows remained in their cases. The air which would normally be rich in the scents and sounds of hard work had been replaced by the heavy and thick scent of smoke. Hell had descended upon this village and the surrounding area.
There was an old man with gray, curly hair framing his round face and glittering green eyes set a-symmetrically within their sockets. His large beard gorgeously complimented his eyes. He stood tallest among the others.
"Welcome to what is left of Iyesgarth stranger, my name is Briehalt."
Briehalt was wearing a fairly short sleeved, furred jacket which covered him to well below the waist and was barely buttoned up slightly off-center. There was a wide, round neckline which revealed part of the rather simple shirt worn below it and was worn with a long cloth belt, which was held together by a big belt buckle. The cloth belt was a functional addition, but had some decorative value. The sleeves of his jacket were quite narrow and reached down to his wrists, they had been decorated with two decorative bands almost at the edges. His pants were simple and a little wide. They reached down to his furred shoes. The shoes had been made from a fairly rare fur, but were otherwise quite simple.
"Hello, my name is Richart. What happened here?"
"Yesterday we were attacked by a dragon. After he destroyed our church, the creature took the stone of life known as the Valee Stone. We need the stone, it is of great importance to us. The longer it is away, the greater the hardships will become. None of the remaining men are able to go after the dragon, as they are needed here to rebuild before winter comes."
"Did you see this dragon? What did the creature look like?"
"Let me take you over to the Knights Tavern, it is one of a handful of buildings that remains intact. Besides, it looks as if you could do with some food and drink."
From the outside the tavern looked snug, peaceful and beautiful. Softwood and tree trunks made up most of the building's outer structure. It was difficult to see through the small, stained glass windows. As they entered the tavern through the old, hard wooden door, they were welcomed by a somber atmosphere.
It was lovely inside as it was on the outside, the stone pillars supported the upper floor. The bartender was swamped in work, but still managed to welcome us with a smile. When she is finished, the bartender walked over and introduced herself.
"Hello Briehalt, and who might this young man be?"
"Richart, this is Grisel. She is the owner of this fine establishment."
Grisel was a young widow at the age of thirty. Her short hair had been pulled back tight in a ponytail, revealing a strong, anguished face. Grisel's bulging black eyes were set, concealed within their sockets. There was an old tattoo that resembled a bear paw which was prominently featured just above the right side of her right eyebrow. It left an aching memory of a former life.
Her modest dress flowed from top to bottom and had a V-neck, which lightly revealed the fancy dress worn below it. The velvety, corset of her dress covered her stomach where the continuous flow was broken up by a small cloth belt worn quite high around her waist. Below the cloth belt, the dress flowed down wide and hide the dress below. The front of the top dress was longer than the bottom dress and curved outwards, the back continued to flow a short length behind her and ended in a narrow tip. The sleeves were a little short and wide, their flow was broken up below the elbow where they changed color. They had been divided by large, stylish bands, these were the same fabric and color used to outline the sleeves, bottom and neckline of the dress
"Hello, Grisel."
"Hello, Richart."
Briehalt spoke... "Bring us your finest ale and some food, Grisel. Now to answer your question Richart. I indeed had a good look at the dragon and I tell you he is an immense creature. The fierce ebony eyes sit delicately within the creature's horned, narrow skull. Which gives the creature a frightening looking appearance.”
Another patron added that there were several small horns sitting atop its head and just above it's thick, pointy ears. A row of small crystal growths ran down the sides of each of its jaw lines. It's nose was flat and has two small, slitted nostrils and there were crystal growths on its chin.
Grisel returned with food and two mugs of ale. She went on to tell Richart that several huge teeth poked out from the side of its mouth. A broad neck ran down from its head and into a narrow body. The top was covered in wide scales and rows of armor plating ran down its spine. Its bottom was covered in narrow scales and was colored much darker than the rest of its body. Two slender limbs carried its body.
Briehalt went on to say that each limb had 6 digits, each of which ended in narrow talons seemingly made of bone. Enormous wings seemed to grow, starting from just above its shoulders and ended just past its shoulder blades. The wings were somewhat triangular, the skin of the wings seemed to glow as if made from fire itself and long tendril-like growths seemed to grow from many parts of the bottom sides of each wing. Its barbed tail ended in a single tendril and was covered in the same wide scales as its body.
Richart hung on every word as they spoke. When Briehalt was finished, Richart shouted... "That's him, that's Dalbinth Destroyer of Life!"
The patrons in the tavern became quiet and then a voice could be heard saying... "And what are you going to do, boy?"
"I am going to slay the dragon for burning down my village. The creature killed everyone, including my family."
A patron asks... "How old are you boy?"
"I am seventeen."
Another voice could be heard... "I see no weapons about you, are you going to use fists and stones?"
The patrons started laughing and just as Briehalt stood to say something, an imposing figure stood in the doorway. A hush fell over the tavern as the figure moved into the light, it was a woman who stood taller than any man in the tavern except for Briehalt. Her red shoulder length hair was tightly pulled back in a ponytail. Her chiseled, radiant face revealed dancing red eyes that sat seductively within their sockets. A scar reached from the bottom of the left cheek, running towards her right nostril and ending on her right cheekbone. It left a beautiful memory of her luck in skirmishes.
This woman was dressed in a very short sleeved, cloth jacket covering her to her knees and was barely buttoned up at the center. The jacket had a wide, rectangular neckline which revealed part of the simple shirt worn below it and was worn with a dark rope belt. The belt had been held together by a simple knot. The rope belt was slightly decorative, but was mostly there to hang things from. The sleeves of her jacket were quite narrow and reached down to just above her wrists, they were decorated with several thread linings at the sleeve ends. Her pants were simple and a loose fit and reach down to her bound cloth shoes. The shoes had been made from a pretty unusual cloth, but are otherwise a common type.
"I will make him the finest of all blades along with a bow and arrows."
The patrons returned to their eating, drinking and conversing as this woman walked toward Richart.
"Hello, I am Belana, the blacksmith and armorer."
"Hello, I am Richart. Y-you will do that for me?"
"Yes, under one condition."
"And pray tell, Belana, what would that be?" Briehalt said as he took a drink from his mug.
"That I go with Richart."
The tavern went silent and a voice could be heard... "A twenty-two year old woman and a seventeen year old boy, they will not survive against Dalbinth."
Boisterous laughter filled the tavern and abruptly came to a halt as Briehalt stepped forward with fists clenched. "I see no man before me, who was willing to go kill the dragon and bring back the stone."
Not a sound is made as Briehalt invited Belana to join him and Richart. The three had drinks, food and talked about the journey. By the time they finished their meal, the other patrons had already gone back to clean up the debris outside.
The three new friends stepped out from the tavern, Belana returned to her shop and started on the sword for Richart. Briehalt and Richart joined the others, placing the last of the bodies on a cart.
A group of men approached…. "Hello Briehalt, and who is this young fellow?" one of them asked.
"This is Richart, he is going after the dragon and Belana is going with him. Richart, this is Father Reybal, he is our village priest "
Father Reybal, had silver curly hair that almost fully covered his craggy, warm face. He had big, round hazel eyes set dreadfully within their sockets and watched attentively over the villagers they have cared for over the years. A scar stretched from the bottom of the right cheekbone, running towards his left nostril and ending above his left eye. It left an aching memory of defended honor.
He was wearing a very long sleeved, cloth jacket which covered him to his knees and was barely buttoned up at the center. The rectangular neckline revealed part of the refined shirt worn below it and was worn with a long cloth belt, which was held together by an intricate knot. The cloth belt was mostly decorative. The sleeves of his jacket were narrow and reached down to his hands, they had been decorated with several thread linings from top to bottom. His pants were simple and narrow, reaching down to his hide boots. The boots were made from a fairly rare hide, but were otherwise a common design.
"Good to meet you, Richart, I will see you before you leave."
"It is nice to meet you, Father Reybal."
Father Reybal climbed up, took the reins in hand as the men stood alongside the cart. With a flick of the reins, they were off to the cemetery. Briehalt and Richart went off to help clear the debris as others erected temporary shelters. Groups of people were working in every part of the village. They were cleaning up and beginning to rebuild.
As the day came to an end, Richart and Briehalt made their way with others to the tavern. Waiting for them, already set on the tables were mugs of beer and plates of beef along with mutton. There was also pork, monks rhubarb and cabbage.
Grisel came to the table, "Richart, I have a room upstairs ready for you."
"Thank you Grisel, I-I do not know how I can repay you."
"Killing that dragon, Dalbinth and bringing back the stone will be payment enough."
Grisel filled our mugs with beer and then went off to the other tables.
“Briehalt, how will I recognize The Valee Stone?”
“It is the shape of an egg, pure white in color and when held upright it stands a foot high, Richart.”
“What is the importance of this stone?” Richart asked before taking a drink from his mug.
“You will see in due time, my friend, for now it is getting late and we all need to get some rest. There is still much to do.”
Grisel walked back over and asked if Briehalt and Richart would like more food and drink.
“No thank you, Grisel, it is time for us to get some rest.”
Briehalt excused himself and left. Richart excused himself and went up to his room. Exhausted and having consumed too much beer, Richart passed out as soon as he collapsed on the bed.
Sometime during the night, Richart was awakened by a feeling never experienced before. Before he could speak, a finger pressed against his lips. Richart raised himself up on his arms to see Belana had taken his rigid cock between her full lips. He watched as his cock disappeared into her mouth.
The sensation was too much to bear and Richart released his seed. Belana swallowed every delicious drop as they looked into each other’s eyes.
“This was your first time, Richart?”
"Y-yes Belana, I-I am so sorry.”
“Not to worry, being young, you will be ready for more very soon.”
Belana kissed her way up Richart’s strong, lean body. She stopped to kiss his navel. “Mmmm, I love innies.” Belana then sucked while her tongue swirled in his navel. At the same time, she reached down and wrapped her strong, yet gentle hand around Richart’s thick shaft.
“Oh yes Belana, faster.”
“No my dear Richart, this time I want you inside me.”
Belana did not wait for Richart to respond. She straddled his hips and guided the large head along the wetness of her slit. Teasing Richart, she slowly slipped the head between her pink, puffy lips. Richart moaned out as he reached up and caressed Belana’s full breasts. Taking the stiff nubs between his fingers, he pinched them.
Richart pinched harder as Belana impaled herself on the biggest cock she had ever seen. Moving her hips, Belana slide up and down on the hardness in her pussy. Richart pushed his hips upward as Belana took his hands in hers, moving them from her breasts. Leaning forward, Belana moved his hands above his head as she laid on top of him. He thrust his hips faster and faster as Belana held still. Placing his hand on the back of her head, Richart pulled Belana to him. They kissed, with a passion unbeknownst to either of them until then. They moaned into each other's mouths as Belana squeezed his throbbing cock with her pussy.
Richart moaned out as he filled Belana with his warm, thick semen. Escaping from Belana's lips were moans of ecstasy as her pussy milked Richart’s cock dry. Belana laid on top of her lover, and Richart wrapped his arms around her. They gently kissed one another while they rested. When Richart's cock slipped from Belana's pussy, she kissed him on the cheek.
"I must go before the break of day, Richart. Go to sleep now, I will see you later."
Richart fell into a restless sleep, he dreamt of all that had happened the last several days.
***
Richart made his way downstairs where he found Grisel waiting on patrons and he took a seat at a table.
"Good morning, Richart. How did you sleep?"
The way Grisel said that, made Richart wonder if she knew. He was not sure himself if he had dreamt it or if it was real. Being intoxicated for the first time in his life had him unsure.
"Good morning Grisel, I slept alright."
"Here, have some bread and a mug of ale. Briehalt said to go see Belana at the blacksmiths and then go see him to help with the cleanup."
"Thank you, Grisel."
Richart quickly ate the bread and gulped down the ale. Walking out of the tavern, he walked with an extra bounce in his step. Entering the blacksmiths shop, Belana was nowhere in sight.
"Belana, are you here?" Richart shouted out as he looked around.
"Back here, Richart."
Approaching the back area, Richart saw Belana putting the finishing touches on his sword. He walked over, Richart saw a fairly long, wide, warped blade made of cystal. It was held by a grip wrapped in dull, black deerskin. The blade had a spiked, straight cross-guard, offering plenty of protection to the owner's hands and thus his or her life. The cross-guard had a decorative snake on each side, this weapon was clearly meant to be taken care of with dedication. A wide pommel had been engraved with the Belana's signature, her family's crest.
Belana walked toward Richart with sword in hand and a knowing smile on her face. She handed him the sword and kissed him on the cheek.
She whispered in Richart's ear, "Yes, last night was real." Belana ran her hand over his manhood.
Belana stepped back, reached for her sword and said, "Show me what you can do."
The clanging of swords resonated through the air. After several minutes, the sound came to an end.
"You handle a sword very well, Belana."
"As do you, Richart. Now let me show the bow I have made for you."
Belana handed Richart the longbow which had been made of great dragon bone. Its string were made from first-rate boar gut, it was a very rare material around that part of the world. The limbs were bare and would be decorated with paintings of his family crest along with important events in his life. The limbs ended in narrow points shaped like delicate ribbons. The handle was wrapped in soft silk and decorated with feathers. The sizable quiver had been made from woven leaves and was supposed to be worn around the archer's back. The outer side would be decorated with items, which would have a significant meaning to the Richart.
"This bow has the capability of firing arrows up to one hundred ninety-two meters while still retaining lethal power, Richart. The arrows are Type fifteen Devizes Swallowtail Broad heads. As you can see, they are long and barbed. They fly well, the long barbs give the maximum length of cutting edges and there is minimum weight and wind resistance. These arrows also cut a deep wound, which will be important when confronting Dalbinth."
