“You will see,” was all he said.He powered up the hovercraft and then they shot into the sky.Below, all throughout the mountain city, Luxirians had gathered to see them off and their cheers and cries heralded them as they raced across air.
SIXTEEN
Just as the suns sank below the horizon, she saw them.Six giant, carved pillars of mountain rock depicting Luxirians, or what she at least thought were Luxirians, three male and three female.They stood in a circle, facing one another, like the Luxirian version of Stonehenge.
The pillars looked more…primal.The males were bare-chested, dressed in nothing but loin cloths, their hair braided down to their backs.Most of the horns were chipped off, or eroded with time, but some of the intricate details still remained, like stone piercings through the males’ nipples, or the band around one Luxirian woman’s upper thigh.She was was completely nude, her breasts heavy and full, and she held some sort of weapon at her side.
They were beautiful ruins.She could see no signs of a settlement or city, but Kate figured that that had been long gone and only these pillars remained, a reminder of the Luxirians’ past.
She knew that this was the rah-vrax-tour even before Vaxa had started a slow descent.They had arrived.
It was notably chillier as he landed the hovercraft just outside of the circle and she shivered in her gauzy shift dress, her nipples pebbling tight against Vaxa’s arm.
“The Fates,” he rumbled in her ear, gesturing up at the pillars that towered over the both of them.She craned her neck up high and marveled at the skill, the manpower that was required to create them.A light wind whistled through the circle but the air was silent.It was so peaceful that Kate held her breath.
“Are you ready,luxiva?” Vaxa murmured.“The power of the Fates is strong once we step inside.It is intense at first, but you will adapt.”
She smiled at him, a little confused, but nodded her head.As they exited the hovercraft, she peered around the pillar that obstructed most of their view and saw that there was a domed tent-like structure directly in the middle of the circle.
“Oh,” she murmured.“Is that…”
“Yes.It was prepared for our arrival,” he said, his eyes briefly straying down to her breasts, to her nipples pebbling through the dress.Typical male.
She swallowed, her arousal beginning to dampen her inner thighs.Kate walked with him, side-by-side, to the edge of the circle.
He began to speak.It was in Luxirian and she couldn’t understand a single word, but she knew that he was addressing the Fates.His language flowed from him, so beautiful and natural that tears pricked the corners of her eyes.She didn’t understand what he was doing, what he was saying…but she felt his words deep inside her.
Then he took her hand…and they crossed the threshold together.
Something happened.
Kate gasped, her mind whirring in disbelief.
A strange energy was building up within her.She began to panic as she felt it rise and rise.It was like it was seeking an outlet from her body, shooting to the tips of her fingertips and prickling her skin until the hairs on her arms stood on end.She clenched her fists, trying to contain it.
“Vaxa,” she gasped, squirming towards him.It didn’t feel unpleasant, but she didn’t feel in control of her own body.It was unnerving.
His teeth were gritted when he replied, “Hold onto it,luxiva.It will pass.”
“W-what’s happening?”
“The Fates are looking within us,” he said, not like she understood what that even meant.“They are determining if our purpose is pure, whether our matehood is to be blessed.”
Vaxa forced her to keep moving and every step felt like a shock.This was impossible, this energy.She looked up to the sky, at the faces of all the ‘Fates.’She could see every single one of them clearly and they returned her gaze.She could feel their consciousness, feel their touch.
Impossible.
And yet, it felt real.
“H-how will we know?” she asked him.“Whether…whether…”
“You will know.”
And then, after a few more breathless moments, she felt it.
What started off like a warm flutter in her belly began to grow, spreading through her entire body.Her lips parted, her lids fluttered, and soft, waves of pleasure made her grasp more strongly onto Vaxa’s thickly muscled arm.A soft moan tumbled from her lips and her clit began to throb and pulse between her thighs.
“V-vaxa…”
