A Bard`s Memory of Empire

The 27th Year of The Ilfirian Empire

November 21
Sugar and Spice Chocolate Wrestling

It was a sunny day in November, the day Sugar and Spice had been planning for a long time, where pits of chocolate were set up near their store…some held bitter sweet chocolate and others held creamy milk chocolate. Sugar and Spice, worked hard to hold this event and much planning and detail went into the occasion.

People arrived in droves some in wagons, and others on horseback. They even asked the Emperor Stormbringer to be a judge.

There was a barrage of people attending and the first to arrive was Sakki who was brought in by carriage. The carriage driver was a bit abusive by giving her swat to the back of her head so she would notice Naidra, and she climbed out to make her way over.

Myra and Garret were the next to arrive, and then the Emperor himself who lead Laerel, Tehya, and Bennu, into the event, leaving them to their selected job and enjoyment while he went to confer with the judges.

Some arrived early to watch the chocolate pits being filled, and looked at the people coming in, such as Jonie, Saire`, and Phaing.

Pretty violet eyes watched the flash of silver dark wings in the crowd, and Saire went to sit with Myra and Garret. Garret's eyes narrowed, and shook his head noticing who was coming in, and mumbled. He didn't have anything better to do and was there with Myra who he wrapped warmly in his cloak with his dark wings behind him.

"Just another sorry excuse for people to go about groping each other... thought that was what the inn was for."

Myra smiled at Saire, ignoring Garret's testy mood for a few seconds and told her, "this event might make me all nice and gooey and give a reason for Garret to help me out later...I'm all in for it. It's been some time since they had one of these and I can never pass up the chance of chocolate."

She was always drinking hot cocoa and that she stashed chocolates about the keep for her delight as well. This was such a treat for her. Her finger tightened upon Garret and she peeked up at him.

"Quit being such sour puss." She pouted, and those violet eyes turned upon Adrienna as she spoke noticing the Emperor there.

"Well isn't that curious... he does make appearances from time to time."

Garret shook his head once more as Myra spoke, glancing to Saire surprised to see her.

"Yes... it's the chocolate that lured you here... not the chance to grope and be groped and call it all innocent fun."

He followed his Mistress' gaze then to Stormbringer, with a cold unimpressed stare.

"He even shows up to events like this? You think he would have something better to do running an empire."

Tehya carried paper and writing implements in a small bag. She walked near where the wrestling match would begin to take a seat towards the front. Her cloak was a multiple array of patchwork colors, soft wheaten blonde hair blew back from her face.

The snow against her boots sprayed up to only instantly melt, as she walked towards the stands to view the match. Today she was careful not to carry the journal itself in case things got rambunctious and messy. Those curious cornflower blue eyes noticed those she knew, and she waved a greeting. There was no need to sit down yet, she had a lot of pent up energy. Noticing Laerel she smiled and waved to her.

Laerel waved to Tehya and smiled, and then gently folded her hands wringing them nervously. She sat down and looked around, her eyes roamed over the crowd to find Stormbringer, and then a smile of relief showed on her face as she relaxed a bit.

On the farthest side of the stage Adrienna chose a high backed chair but didn't sit down right off seeing the Emperor who she gave a deep bow.

"Mine Lord StormBringer. Thank you for your attendance. We are about to start, if you would like to take a seat. Please, enjoy some of the finer sweet refreshments."

She gazed out over those gathering, seating herself while brushing back stray strands of cerulean and platinum laced tresses from her ashen features. The chocolate pits were enchanted and properly laced with potions to keep warm.

"We will be announcing the first round of contestants soon. Please ready yourself appropriately. And remember, strictly no fighting! Slapping, biting, punching, none of that. And NO magic! You fight fair. We'll be watching you!"

To the one side of the arena Neko waited and smiled and blowing Naidra a kiss.

The crowd kept growing in size which made Zaira frown because she couldn't really see over the crowd to see her friends. The announcement of no fighting didn't seem to set well either since it would make things more difficult. There were reactions to the no fighting announcement Phaing rolled her eyes, and then she noticed the Emperor Stormbringer. Seeing Laerel nearby and called over.

"Hi boss must be a high-class brand of chocolate we're getting smeared with today!"

Laerel laughed and gave a hug to Phaing.

"I hope it's good, as I will probably end up with my face in it most of the day, but it will be fun!"

Laeral giggled and looked around nervous once again finding the only comfort was to have Stormbringer nearby.

The air above had a soft current stirring as Valene landed just outside the fighting area. Her arms were crossed over her chest and she walked over to the group.

Alren caught sight of Valene landing. The man walked over to her with a surprised smile upon his face. "Please tell me I'm going to get to see you all messy tonight?"

Jonie noted the Emperor was there with not many guards, and worried that the lack of guards could lead to an assassination, but who knew what guards lurked and where.

Naidra smiled and nodded to the contestant as they started to file in. She placed drinks and refreshments on the table for the other judges making sure all was ready. Walking to the pit she checked the chocolate and looked for the towels that were stacked to the side a loan from the bath house.

Naidra called out the first two to wrestle.

"I need Laerel and Alren to the pit you're up first," she looked at the list again "Sakki and Myra on deck your next.

Stormbringer gave a reassuring smile to both Laeral and Tehya, before taking his appointed seat alongside the judges who actually knew what they were doing. At least it gave him a good view of what was due to occur.

Meanwhile others came in late such as Atis`Dai and Norva. The people in the audience seemed quite impressed by how many attended this event. The owners of Sugar and Spice put a lot of effort into the chocolate wrestling and for stocking their store.

Adrienna called out to Sakki and Myra.

"Please take your place in pit number two, to the right."

Neko moved to help Naidra with refreshments and such. He nodded to Phaing as he chuckled leaning into kiss her while she got on with her judging. For the time being Norva just watched from the distance.

With a pinch to Garret and kiss to his cheek Myra moved to the second pit wearing a corset and pair of pants that hugged every curve she had. She called out, "Ready!" as the slave climbed in with her.

The usual cuteness of Laerel came out when she made the remark of ‘don't kill me to Alren' as she climbed into the pit. Soft warm chocolate oozed between her toes, and it felt good on that cool November day.

Alren heard his name called out. "Well then, that didn't take long now did it?  He had seen Laeral before in the REB shop, and gave her a wave across the pit. He was average height for a human, and took off his robe to begin wearing only shorts underneath. He chuckled at Laeral's remark, "I couldn't do that you're too nice, now pinning you beneath me…that's a different story."

Just as he said that he grabbed her by the waist and brought her to the knees in the thick chocolate, but not before Laeral's arms reached out to grab him by the knees. She tried to keep her thoughts pure while she was in the chocolate and it was becoming harder. With one more attempt her arms reached out to try and hold him down to climb up on top of him and pin him.

Naidra thanked the Emperor for coming and made sure refreshments were served to him before checking on who was in the pits and ready to begin. There was going to be some tough competition Sakk and Myra were staring each other off, and she knew Myra's wings might add to the difficulty of bringing her down.

Poor Garret not even women doused in chocolate made him smile he sat there indifferent to the entire affair, and narrowed his eyes in annoyance. He did show good faith in at least to watch Myra no matter how he felt. Myra was naked maybe that was a good enough reason to keep watching her as she stepped into the ring of chocolate up to her knees.

While Adrienna took a break she walked over to Infernis and gave him a hug, to reassure him that it would only take a few minutes before she would come back after judging. She walked down the steps to the pits to watch the wrestling begin.

A bounce, a move, steps to side to side give Myra time to think of her first move. She lunged forward to grab the naked Sakk trying to grab her by the waist, and bring her down into the chocolate. And she did, with a great big splash of chocolate bringing Sakk down into the sweet mess.

Beyond the pits Atis`Dai, Zaira, and Valene leaned leisurely against the wall watching, each one didn't participate yet, but they were interested as most of the one's who did not enter.

She felt that smooth silky skin of the moriel as she tried to get leverage, to get a grip somehow as the two of them slithered and rubbed against each other. A laugh came from the torian as she went to grab Sakki and pin her down by her shoulders but failed miserable when she turned and squirmed, only to get a handful of breast.

The chocolate was tainted with lp9 and each push and rub into the sweet mess would tempt and they would feel a tingling and even a vibration against their most intimate places. That seemed to amuse Adrienna and she sent Infernis a flutter and a kiss and then went back to work at the pits.

Neko was up to no good sending a spell to Naidra to tug at her panties, and of course she was the hostess and watching the contestants. Lareal and Alren were well matched each holding their own but the other pit had Myra in the lead. There was evidence that Alren was quite turned on from pinning Laeral down, his hard erection was outlined in his shorts smeared with chocolate. Sakki was having the same reaction trying to rip the leathers off Myra. The chocolate was certainly doing its job, arousing each one in the pits.

Soft footprints were left in the snow as Tehya climbed up to one of the seats and balanced a book on her knee to begin writing. She cheered Laeral on from where she sat. Watchful eyes recorded each one participating. Unfortunately she didn't see who she wanted to push in… so for now she behaved and did her job as expected and her investigation of that very person was put on hold.

Garret still was indifferent and showed no enjoyment watching Myra, he just wanted it to be done with and scowled as his eyes roamed over the crowd. In the meantime Laeral was waited down in the pit slipping and sliding without being able to get up since she wore a gown to wrestle in, but even that didn't get Garret to smile.

Some things were secret, even the bard Tehya wasn't sure what the warm toast of glass hitting against a glass meant when Atis`Dai toasted Phaing. She could assume and write it in the journal. Her assumption was that Atis was amused by the writhing bodies in the pits.

A ripping sound was heard as Myra's corset was ripped from her body, her breasts were freed and bounced when she pushed Sakki down and straddled her in the chocolate. The warmth and sexual arousal played at Myra and she was determined to get through this without desire and passion getting in the way.

Round One Goes to Myra!

She would be called upon for the next round but for now she was asked to stand to the side. Poor Sakki; she knew she would be whipped for losing, and for not representing the Inn as she should.

Bennu came a bit late knowing that her master had given both her and Laeral permission to enter the event. The cheers from the contestants for the first winner met her ear, and she was wrapped in a cloak tied tightly around her. She searched the crowd for Stormbringer and Laeral. Eve came in shortly after with the hopes that Laeral would win.

Adrienna announced, Laeral wins the first round! Please stay, Laeral, and await your next round of wrestling! Thank you, Alren, for showing up. It was a good, close match."

Tehya sat and applauded for the winner. A small grin tipped those blue lips upwards, but she behaved herself for now waving to Bennu from her seat, and taking notes of what was going on. The two finally meeting brought a smile from the Emperor at the judges table.

Bennu saw Tehya waving, and had seen the woman a few times in the palace, but had yet to be properly introduced....today was as good a time as any. She excused herself and stepped around people until she reached Tehya's side, only then turning to see the pits...and Laerel within them!

The cat woman Zaira was next and called forward. She wore a short skirt and her heart thumped with anticipation. For fun or amusement, she took the game seriously. Adrienna heard Zaira called up and wished her luck. Her voice sounded forced and as she wished her luck and then looked away. There was something in her tone that seemed like it was forced. And to follow her Vorva was called snapping her to attention only to show off a smirk as she raised her head listening to her name called. The war lady moved herself to the correct pit. She didn't miss anyone there and her beautiful amethyst eyes looked over the crowd.

She brushed a few strands of hair from her cheek, smearing more chocolate as she went to stand after Naidra called out her win, watching the Moriel being carted off as she shivered slightly and those violet eyes were searching immediately upon the crowd for Garret. Finding him she was climbing out of the pit and moving for him, chocolate coating her still mostly clothed body, though that corset was not doing its job properly anymore.

The next two contestants were called to come to the pit by Adrienna.

"Would the next two contestants please take their place within the pit! Saira and Neko!"

Saire had a look of hesitation on her face maybe she was hoping for another opponent, but she smiled and got in the pit wearing only a cotton shirt and pants which hugged her frame nicely.

Neko certainly was dressed for the occasion only wearing a loincloth, and he wished Saira luck before getting into the pit.

Naidra held Laeral's hand up proclaiming her the winner of that round. Laerel smiled and waved to Stormbringer shivering with the cold once emerging from the warm chocolate pit. She made sure to move towards Bennu and Tehya to greet them.

The three sat together and Bennu was warm and friendly, making the bard Tehya feel welcome. She had heard had heard the girl's name spoke on master's lips, the servants as well, always willing to gossip.

"I'm Bennu" She returned, though it was likely Tehya already knew that. When laerel joined them...she might have offered the woman a hug...if it weren't for the chocolate. "Congratulations sister." She offered Laeral a smile and waited her turn.

A soft laugh came from Tehya's blue lips as Laeral approached covered in chocolate. It was one of her favorite treats, and glittering blue eyes had mischief in them. Her hand shot out to swipe some chocolate from Laeral's arm and she licked her finger off and smiled at Bennu.

"Pleased to meet you!"

Another approached them slowly, and the bard didn't' know her, but it seemed she knew Laeral very well. She looked a bit confused, but never the less applauded for Laeral and approached the three of them sitting there wearing a man's shirt and socks tied about her feet. She amused Tehya when she gave a rather large man blocking her path a shove.

Laerel giggled and offered her arm to Bennu as well, and then spotted Eve. "Sister!" she gasped, pulling her down between herself and Bennu before offering her arm for chocolate swipes. Bennu gave Eve a hug unmindful of the chocolate she would get on her.

"I have missed you sister!" she whispered to her.

Eve's dark eyes lit up and she is grabbed and hugged between two of her favorite people... shivering as the snow dusted her dark hair with white dots. "Girl happy Pretty Elf Laerel sister win cover man sweet stuff. She smiled at them both...rubbing her cheek against the much cleaner Bennu.

"Girl miss Bennu sister! So long...Mountain away."

"She looked at Tehya..."Miss mark on paper new sister?"

A soft smirk was on Tehya's blue lips when Eve asked her about missing the mark. She shook her head no still licking a bit of chocolate from her finger. Having plans to stir up some trouble kind of fizzled out so far, so she shook her head no.

"I found my mark."

 She laughed and twirled the quill in her hand and began to write in the journal.

The sweet scent of tobacco drifted up into the air as Zeph watched from his seat, and quiet tones of conversations filtered to Valene who had a pretty smirk on her face. Sometimes smirks are not so pretty, but hers definitely was, seen and then not seen from the smoke billowing from Zeph's pipe.

Valene smirked as she watched him, shaking her head, "meh… maybe its cuz I'm waiting to see if I'm going to be taking you to a temple or not." she winked and looked over the group, "do you wanna watch?"  She asked quietly.

Saire and Zaira were coiled around each other trying to use their momentum to send one down into the chocolate. Phaing and Atis were in the other pit and slipping here and there into a chocolate mess.

Besides the physical struggle Phaing made sure to unleash enough comments to take Atris off guard.

"I can be just as slippery as you can. And when I beat someone, I make sure they know it, you follow?" The transition from playful to deadly serious happened in the blink of an eye.

Naidra turned to see the beautiful Adrienna coming her way the red wine coat barely covering the sexy number underneath. She purred as that finger ran down her cheek followed by that hot feel of her tongue. A soft moan distracted her for a moment before she turned with a heated gaze at the contestants again.

"I bet you would taste just divine in all that chocolate," she said to Adrienna.

The Bell Rings!

The war lady Vorva heard the bell and lost her balance in the slippery chocolate that coated her legs and down she and Zaira fell in the gooey mess, rolling and tumbling in the pit being covered in chocolate. Words from the other two opponents went back and forth, dares came from Atis, and he told the dark elf in a quiet voice.

"You can give it your best try dark elf, and we'll see how well that serves you. When I'm done with you, you'll remember my name, and how easily it happened."

There was always someone who fought dirty and from where Tehya sat she had to laugh seeing her lean over the pit and take a handful of chocolate to put down the back of Atis's shorts.

A loud rip was heard as Zaria countered attacked the cat woman beneath her and yanked her to the side tossing her beneath her, the cry of ripped fabric only tormented Neko on more for the chocolate was doing its job, enticing him to feel every taint of the chocolate's complexity.

Quietly Bennu smiled at Eve such sweet shivers didn't go unattended, and she pulled her cloak tight about her shoulders the soft fur warm against her neck. Underneath she wore only a short skirt with a wide band around her breasts. She huddled against Tehya to keep warm, and oddly Tehya kept quiet enjoying the company and warmth herself.

Laerel whispered, "I suppose with Miss Adrienna" and she nodded toward Benn, pointing Adrienna out as she hugged Eve for warmth. She smiled, nodding to Bennu quietly.

Saire's body pulsed with glee at the tingle of the chocolate against her skin, her breath came in pants, and she kept herself above Neko. She saw her chance to pin the struggling man beneath her, and went for it, her mind swamped by delicious invocations of her Moriel blood. She had to fight not to twist the arm a bit too tight -- against the rules, she knew, which kept her hand steady as

Rei moved through the gates, an air of steel confidence about him and an expression as cold as the frozen north. He stepped quietly to wait in the stands while the current match went underway, wearing nothing save a pair of dark cloth pants, leaving the rest of his toned body sculpted and bare against the nipping cold. Not far from him Winn declined passing vendors with a raised palm, only lingering in the periphery. The shadow of her cowl was long-reaching and shrouded all but the point of her chin.

Stormbringer wasn't doing too much that he felt was useful so he moved across to sit with his slaves and Tehya, knowing he had a good enough view of what was happening if he needed to help out.

When Bennu gave her cloak away Tehya couldn't be selfish to the point of watching Bennu sitting there cold. Her hand reached up to remove her pin and she fastened it to her tunic beneath opening her cloak enough to tuck around Bennu's shoulders to keep warm. There was a soft scribble quill on paper where she jotted down the name of Christine Daae wanting to investigate the ownership of the Sugar and Spice shop.

Laeral was sitting with them and offered her arm for Stormbringer to take a sneak taste of the chocolate telling him she won. Stormbringer grinned but didn't take up the offer, though he thought there could be some interesting after effects later on at the palace and that he might need some of it then just to keep up if Bennu and Tehya were also trying it out

Eve was a bit confused of Tehya's status and asked Laeral a question while Stormbringer took his seat.

"Miss marks on paper, new sister or new mountain?"

Laerel whispered softly, "She is..." and she stopped for a minute before whispering, "She is a sister... but not officially" and she shook her head, "Does that make sense, sister?" she asked softly, trying to explain Tehya's role in the palace.

Tehya interjected when Eve asked Laeral, and she chuckled for a moment hearing Laeral explain. She gave a light shrug to her shoulders as she looked over to Stormbringer and smiled. There was that same teasing smile playing on her lips, and for now she only whispered to Eve, "Imperial Palace Bard!" She wiggled forward a bit showing her the pin with glittering emeralds. Sitting back she began to write again those sensitive elven ears listening, as she wrote.

Eve nodded, Tamryn had told her about others in such a manner...as had Viktor...so it was not difficult to make that leap. A sister… but not one with a necklace about her neck. Her hands fidgeted. She would then nod.

"Nice meet you, Imperial Palace Bard Sister." said with a shy smile. And then Bennu being called up drew her attention away.

Bennu smiled brightly at the barbarian as he joined them. She hadn't tried the chocolate yet, but had a suspicion about it just by the way Laerel was acting. Her warmth spell was around her, keeping the chill from her, but she leaned in against Tehya in thanks for her shared cloak.

"Wish me luck." She said as she hurried over to the pits.

Laerel smiled, "good luck sister" she called out, and then snuggled with Eve under the cloak. She blinked for a minute, and then looked at Stormbringer.

"Tura… this is my other sister, Eve." and she smiled, moving so he could get a good look at the girl.

Stormbringer couldn't help feeling that being Emperor had its advantages, surrounded by three of the most attractive girls present. He gave a pleasant smile to Eve but kept most of his attention on the matches taking place in case he was needed to help decide the results

It began to be harder and harder for Naidra to concentrate the chocolate splashed on her body was taking its toll, but the next winners were soon to be announced.  She smiled seeing Saire pinned by Neko into the chocolate and proclaimed a winner. Holding Saire's arm up to the crowd she made the announcement.

"We have a winner, Saire!"

There was a lot more wrestling between Vorva and Zaira, some dirty moves and some very unique fighting maneuvers when Vorva latched onto Zaira's legs and rolled on top of her using her body weight to keep her pinned. She wiggled against her and laughed.

"I hope ye're at least enjoyin' yerself…the chocolate is quite…warm."

Adrienna winced lightly as Zaira maneuvered to let Vorzheva fall face first into the warmth of the sweet chocolate and occasionally gave a glance to the maids scurrying around to deliver drinks and refreshments.

Splash!

There was something up her sleeve when she nodded and the maids tossed the liquid contents to the spectators watching, that was also spiked with the ‘sweetness of arousal.'

Ryushi heard his named called and made his way to the pit, stripping his clothes off until he was completely nude. Meanwhile others such as Alren and Valene were in the midst of a passionate embrace, but who wouldn't be with sweet bliss thrown at them from the maids.

The one man Tehya hoped would be splashed miserably with the chocolate was Rei, and she watched him standing far enough back to be missed. What a shame. He looked on in total silence with a feeling of being superior of anyone there expression on his face. She tapped the paper with the end of the quill.

Even the greatest of plans come to a bad end. She didn't see the person she planned to investigate, and a careful look was given to the Emperor while in thought. It was best to get back to work and put her mischief aside, but a delightful thought of someone being covered in chocolate passed through her mind. With a lick to her blue lips she settled down to get back to work, but not before she lifted the quill to Bennu for good luck.

Bennu joined Ryushi at the pits, he was her opponent, but there was a growing blush on her cheeks to see him stripping naked. She looked back into the stands at Stormbringer, biting her lip as she waited for the match to start.

"Hello" She murmured softly to Ryushi, friendly competitor...the girl smaller than him.

Stormbringer caught Bennu's attention and gave her a reassuring smile.

Laerel nodded to Eve, and smiled.

"I do hope sister Bennu wins!"

She giggled, glancing to Tehya with a smile, and offered her another swipe of the chocolate from her sleeve.

Zeph nodded, "Oh I know, it's not something that is for everyone. But there are a great many people that have come out to watch. And that is another good thing."

They are passing out chocolates to eat, so that is a good thing as well.

"Well, that is for you." He smiled a bit as he glanced about a moment, only to have his gaze drifting from Zinnia to the ones that were covered in chocolate.

Zinnia glanced to Zeph, "Do you know many of the people here?" She was curious since she wasn't good at meeting new people.

Zeph nodded and he glanced around. "I do know a few that are here." He motioned over to a few that were around, noting that there were quite a few that he didn't recognize. "Even the Emperor came out to see the event." He gave a gesture over to the man he was talking about. It had been many years since he had talked or even seen the man. But that was due to Zeph's silent retreat.

Garret's bad mood was erased with Myra's lips against his neck and he embraced her wrapping his arms around her waist. The chocolate was taking its effect and her breath was warm against his lips. She nipped at his earlobe and he found her irresistible to ignore just when a splash of chocolate hit him too making him growl in anger. The growl was soon hushed by Myra's lips and insistent touching.

Naidra found she was more engrossed in Neko than the pits as passion surged through her body and they remained to the side as Adrienna gave a pat to Vorva's rump before guiding Zaira from the pit

Ryushi smiled at Bennu as she walked up, "Hello, sorry but all I have is nice clothing." He sighed and relaxed in the warm chocolate waiting for the match to begin. He couldn't help but feel the effects of the spiked chocolate that had touched his skin. He smiled brightly back at Bennu.

Alren and Valene were also captured by the chocolates magic, his heated breath flowed down her neck and he drew his palms tightly up her sides, fingers splayed as they surged up the contours of Valene's body. A thin smile was upon his lips and he responded. "I'm never trouble dear. I'm harmless as a kitten," he said nipping along her throat as hands found their way to the Chirots firm ass and squeezed.

Bennu sunk into the chocolate, the effects of the potion upon her. "It's all right." She murmured, unafraid of ruining the short skirt and tight top. The girl still wore a set of black cuffs on her wrists that matched the collar around her throat.

Bennu heard the call to start, only to take a deep breath since she wasn't much of a fighter, and only up that day as a lark. The man might not be expecting her to fling herself into his chest...but she did, her knee might have 'accidently' collided with his groin.

Stormbringer grinned slightly as he watched Bennu, knowing there's more to the girl than her innocent face showed the world. He stroked the back of Laerel's neck, knowing how unsettled she must be, not wanting to distract her too much from being able to compete again in the next round.

Tehya cheered Bennu on, the kick to the groin was a bit dirty, but she liked her spunk. In fact she liked it so much she stopped writing and watched instead, later she would record the outcome through the mirror. The magical mirror was a good thing for the Sylvan what her distractions missed she could later see in the mirror the Emperor gave her.

Winn gave a silent exchange to Bennu and the pale human man in the ring with Phaing.  Her second glove disassembled and pulled off along with her scarves, making her way to a vender to exchange coin for a chalice of wine.

A loud oof sound came from the breathless Ryushi felt Bennu's knee connect to his groin. He doubled over on her leg and slid down into the chocolate muck with a loud slurp. He coughed and started to push himself back up leaving his back exposed to her.

Bennu had the advantage, being collared to a warlord for a time and it must have rubbed off in some small way, for when Ryushi exposed his back to her she threw herself onto him again, hardly a massive weight for the man to bare, but the chocolate was slick, and it might make him lose his footing.

Adrienna watched Ryushi and Bennu, and one manicured brow quirked as she warned them.

"Watch that knee to the groin, it looked like an accident. I won't tolerate a second accident."

Ryushi buckled forward falling to into the muck. It was slick and even a body as small as hers made him loose his footing and slide face first into the muck once again. He rolled over on his stomach and pushed himself back up.

Bennu nearly slipped when Ryushi went down into the chocolate, both of them getting covered. When he rolled over, she remained on top of him, finding herself all but straddling the man as she pushed him down into the chocolate. There was a smear of chocolate across her face, but a look of surprise in her eyes as she found herself on top of the man.

"Oh...goodness," she murmured, slipping herself and sitting on top of him.

Ryushi felt her get the better of him and relaxed into the chocolate, "Good job, that was fun!" He leaned up pressing his face into her neck his tongue slid out to lick a spot of chocolate from it. He dropped back down into the chocolate grinning up at Bennu.

Laerel giggled and stood up cheering. "Yay Bennu!" and she clapped, before blushing lightly and sitting back down to clear her throat and smiled sheepishly at Stormbringer, hoping she wouldn't be punished for such an outburst.

Tehya stood up and cheered for Bennu, and then looked over to the Laeral and the Emperor, maybe her enthusiasm was -too- much so she sat back down placing the book and paper on her lap.

Stormbringer took a moment to look around the room, noting Zeph's presence and gave him a nod of recognition and a tight smile. Good fighters were always needed by the Empire and he was pleased this one had chosen to return. Then his attention went back to Bennu who seemed to be doing well, giving both Laerel and Tehya a friendly swat on the rear to let them know he didn't mind them showing their enthusiasm.

The swat to her ass was playful enough and she smiled, at least she was allowed to be herself. Her cloak was wrapped about her now, and she watched Bennu standing up covered in chocolate. Tehya quickly pinned her cloak at the neck, there was no way she would share her favorite cloak with the messy chocolate.

Eve's fingers pressed more of those pebbles into a larger rock, working the stone as if it were clay…though her fingers were talented at the molding. She began to make a form out of it as she watched the match.

"Girl never see Bennu sister fight."

Bennu blushed again as Ryushi licked her neck. She looked to the stands, smiling brightly to hear the cheers for her.

"Congratulations Sir." She murmured, waving her hand to Ryushi and she slipped away in a hurry. The white of her skirt and top were mostly chocolate now, though it did well enough to keep her important parts covered.

Naidra watched Bennu pin Ryushi for the last time and grinned.

"Our winner of this round is Bennu" she was already very covered in chocolate herself as she stepped into the pit and pulled Bennu's arm up announcing her as the winner. She helped her out of the pit telling Ryushi to help himself to the refreshments.

Stormbringer gave Bennu a big smile when she looked his way, approving of the way both his slaves have shown their worth in this event so far, and wondered if they might both go to the final.

Bennu smiled her thanks to Atis; the boy didn't recall her, though she did him. He knew her when the Moriel woman had collared her. The slave girl remained standing there, her gaze darted occasionally to her sisters in the stand, smiling to see Eve still there, and then over to her master shivering as the chocolate started to take effect. The wisp of motion at her side turned her gaze back to the slender creature, Winn, a small study of her as well, appreciating, admiring, though her gaze would lower away when and if the woman caught her staring.

Laerel looked to Stormbringer and grinned, taking the swat as approval, so long as it didn't get too far out of hand. She smiled and looked at Eve, watching her quietly. She was always fascinated with the way her sister could mold things out of rock, wishing she could do something so beautiful.

Zeph let his gaze drift around the ones that were gathered only to catch sight of Stormbringer and see the nod and smile. A bow of his head was given to the Emperor as he in turn would have a smile crease over his lips, giving respect to the man that was well due him.

Atis`Dai didn't wait for any retort by Phaing, he heard his name called instead, and took a deep breath, feeling his chest lift with an intake of air. His eyes closed before he bounced forward, jumping into the chocolate filled pit. He only wore shorts, and gave a quick glance over to Bennu and Ryushi laughing. His opponent Phaing wore nothing more than a skirt and halter top, with her hair pulled back into a ponytail.

"Ready to get beaten?"

Naidra waited for everyone to get into place and pulled out her little bell and rang it again.

"Let the matches begin!"

Naidra stayed pressed against her love rubbing her lush ass over his chocolate covered body, only her thin shorts kept them separated from flesh against flesh. She delighted in teasing him.

Atis`Dai's overconfidence made him sloppy for her first attack, having expected her to say something back first, only to have him hit and sent down into the pit. Chocolate squirted up around him, splattering all over the human's pale flesh, leaving droplets to smear over the flat of his stomach, finding the narrow lines of abs, before he even knew what happened. Growling under his breath, he tried to turn things around and reached for Phaing to pull her away from his legs below him in a swift twisting motion.

But not before Phaing tried to get his shorts down to keep his long legs tangled. She will ignore it if Atis did the same to her... shame is something Phaing didn't understand anyway. She never stopped moving, and her grunts and shouts were not quiet.

 He didn't expect her to drag his pants off him and blinked in surprise. He gave an exaggerated shake of his hips and mocked her.

"Outsmarted, me my dear girl?"

Zeph grinned, "Ah well, I think every time that I have seen him he dresses like that. But it's not about how you dress." He smiled; then let his gaze drift to those that were about to start their matches. He shifted a bit upon the chair as he found it a bit more comfortable spot to sit. "Who are you looking at to win?" Curious if she had a natural talent about such things.

Phaing cursed wildly, her face flushed and her body smeared with rich chocolate. She darted in, side-stepped, and tried to grab one of his arms (before they got too slick) and pin it behind him.

He waited for her and studied her, before Atis seen her come for him only to skitter aside and let her run past, his arm reached out to grab hers and pin it behind her back against her spine. His lips pressed to the curve of her ear, to whisper softly.

"I don't think so but nice try anyway."

Phaing squirmed and struggled trying to slip free and she almost looked double jointed being so flexible as he tried to grip her arm and stop her movements.

Atis knew Phaing was good. No matter what he thought of her behavior towards him, it was a fact that the girl had skills, and despite his grip on her she managed to move, shift, and draw herself out of it nearly as fast as he could retake his hold. At one point she moved so swiftly that he had nearly no chance to keep up, until that one opening showed itself, where he grabbed hold of her, then kicked her feet out below her pressing her down into the chocolate, his own frame above her, pinning her just long enough for the battle to be over. Panting softly into her ear a quiet whisper was given only meant for her.

 "Got to give this to you… you've made me work damn hard for it."

Naidra moved from one pit to the other calling out the newest winner.

"Atis is our winner" she called stepping into the ring and pulling up Atis's arm waving it in the air.

"If our winners will step to the side we will be calling round two soon. Phaing help yourself to the refreshments."

Out of the corner of Winn's eye she returned her attention to Atis the crowds whispered, and there were murmurs of congratulations mixed with the sweet smells embracing the area. Her lips were wet with sweet wine and she licked her lips, becoming distracted seeing Adrienna, admiring her from afar.

Naidra called out to the crowd.

"Will our last two come forward Rei and Mari."

A defeat and dig was given to Atris, Phaing just couldn't resist.

"Wow, are you this good in bed, too? Hey, no hard feelings, okay? I knew you were gonna kick my butt, just had to make it fun." She winked.

Rei briefly caught the glance made towards his person from that familiar silver-winged however he could not be there. He would not. And now, it didn't matter. He turned away without the slightest hint of an emotion on a face like that of a statue. He stepped forward, wings spread a bit and pushing off. He glided down from his place at the back of the stands, descending over the crowd.

Tehya wasn't glad to see Rei-Kai, he wasn't a person she met on good terms with, but the bard wanted to see what he was going to do to write in the journal. A frown came to her lips and she looked both ways hoping her mood wasn't noticed. The appearance of Rei put Tehya in a mood. She remembered their meeting in the Inn long ago. The pressure of her quill on the paper was a bit -too- firm. Her lips moved and she might have been sending him a silent message. The message may have been fail miserably, and she drew a picture on the side of her paper of him flailing in the chocolate hoping he got the message.

Clever blue eyes looked down to her paper, as if she didn't just send a hateful message. She heard the Emperor and Eve talking which made her delicate elven ears flicker. For now it was best to pretend to be an observer writing, rather than trying to make someone disoriented with her anger. She put on an innocent smile, and looked up to watch Rei's reaction to her message.

Stormbringer looked quizzically at Tehya as her moods changed so rapidly and he gave her leg a squeeze high up on her thigh.

"Write your journal girl."

Rei-Kai went straight into action as the naked Erreka attempted to rise after he'd thrown her back, quickly sifting through the chocolate muck. His entire form dripped with the substance as swiftly aimed to grapple and flip the girl onto her backside, then slide her along the liquid sweetness under his form, between his legs to set himself upon her midsection.

Bennu didn't stare at Rei's backside, her eyes instead fastened upon his wings, the color reminding her of another she had known, fondly. She didn't see Laerel slip out, and her glance finally went to Eve beside Stormbringer, chewing her lip seeing the girl speaking to him. She was an odd creature if one didn't understand her, but the barbarian was a kind man when he wanted to be...and knew the girl was once a sister...she smiled knowing he would tolerate her for now.

Rei-Kai's attempts of pinning Erreka reminded her of something she had heard the elven guards talk about, best defense was a strong offense? Well it was the only thing she could think of so she decided to dash forward, slightly stumbling in chocolate and slid into his legs hoping to take him off his feet.

He really wasn't expecting anything substantial from the nymph in this, and perhaps a little something sparked in his mind a bit belatedly, turning his attention away briefly before he saw Erreka moving at his legs. He was a bit slow to react to that. Was that because he didn't see her as an opponent or because someone was messing with him? Either way he nearly dropped right down into the chocolate, sending up a nice splatter of it.

"My turn."

He said that in a low chilling tone as the nature spirit tried to pin him down only for the larger Torian to bring his heel up to press against Erreka's abdomen, hands grasping at her wrists and tilting back to kick and launch her briefly through the air over him to land in the chocolate pool, perhaps long enough for him to get back to his feet and continue his assault.

He wouldn't choke her he was trying to get her to submit to him, as a beast would submit once it had you by the throat. Hand slipping away he'd quickly shifted up and flipped Erreka onto her stomach, his hands moved to pull her legs back as he sat on her back, setting into another submission hold. Given their sheer physical difference, it seemed almost inevitable that he'd be the victor.

Erreka attempted to scramble on top of the man, amazed that she had actually done something effective in her attack. Chocolate was splattered across her face and body making it a little harder to see, but she knew enough to know that she had to hold him down, somehow.

Tehya smiled over to the Emperor.

"He failed what a shame."

The look of innocence washed over her face and she began writing once again, the twinkle in her eye only showed she enjoyed the fact. There was no loud cheering Rei-Ka could be a dangerous person, she learned that long ago. Pure delight made her quill flow over the paper as she noted him losing this round.

Eve looked up from her making...having finished it, blowing off the dust…to find that Laerel had gone, for now...and she was alone with Tehya and Stormbringer, both of whom she didn't know. She once shared the same owner as Laeral and Bennu, and curled Bennu's cloak giving The Emperor a shy look.

"Sir Emperor of Storms… give something to Bennu sister for girl?"

She had the musical dialect of Valencia...Rei made her nervous...she remembered him as well, her first experience with magic, and while it wasn't unpleasant, it had been startling to her, and she hadn't really liked magic since.

Stormbringer accepted the carving, marveling at the quality of the work and smiled at the girl.

"I'll make sure she gets it, and you may visit your sisters any time your owner allows it of course"

Just as he took the statue in hand a splash of chocolate flew by and hit Tehya in the cheek. Her hand came up to wipe it away afraid the splatter would hit the papers she was writing. Her nipples became firm and she wiggled in the seat staving off the feelings of arousal. Stormbringer once again reminded her to get back to the journal.

Her hand picked up the quill reluctantly especially after feeling the squeeze to her thigh. His hand felt warm, not that she was cold anymore. Shaking her head just to try and clear it, soft strands of blonde settled back upon her cloak. She nodded, not really capable of answering; if she had something else might have come from her lips.

There was more than wrestling in chocolate going on!

In the midst of matches there were bodies against bodies and Adrienna was certainly keeping herself busy with Zaira. Naidra could hardly keep her thoughts off sex while hosting the event while cuddling with Neko.

Zaira couldn't sustain herself when she murmured a soft whisper from her reverie.

"Your ideas always seem to start, and end with me being naked."

The tone in her voice wasn't a complaint and any notion of resistance or hesitation at being utterly tugged along with the fire mage's passions were burned away within moments of nails raking across her back, causing her to tense and arch, to press against the offered breasts of the Moriel. More devastating than any touch, the sweet things whispered into her ear caused her body to writhe and ache with need - uncaring at the tattered remains of her dress falling to the ground and leaving her stark bare against Adrienna.

Neko's tail swayed behind him as he suddenly pulled back to Naidra. He sighed and pulled back and whispered in her ear. "Focus on the matches you will have me when it ends." he said as he moved back to sit someplace.

Adrienna counted where it was needed. One, two, three and the winners were announced by Naidra. However, slightly removed from the wrestling for the moment…or to the nakedness of the other, Zaira, would be greatly awarded. The Moriel dipped her fingers to places that were intimate. Stroking, rubbing, and pinching warm breath flaring into her only to push the girl closer and swiveling her hips to grind against her shoulder, along finely dusted hair upon that creamy flesh. Her teeth clamped to her shoulder giving her the pain she knew the girl craved.

Adrienna couldn't help the epic purr of a moan at the bite delivered to her own throat from Zaira. She shivered and squirmed against the woman. Lush breath in her throat, and the slow exhalation, before she gave a jump as Neko used a spell to tug her panties down, exposing the fleshiness of her behind, whereas the front was still concealed by the catgirl. She growled and hissed, and with a scowl she let go of Zaira. That temper flared momentarily as she grabbed for her panties and yanked them up again. Magic was at work, somewhere, somehow.

Coward! Bitch. I'll flesh you out!"

That threat of it there. Her gazed swept over all looking for the person responsible.

Vorva ears perked hearing the threat and her hand moved out to pull Zaira close feeling protective over her.

"I'll keep ye as warm as mine skin allows Zaira…at least until my turn again in the Chocolate."

Oh Neko wouldn't admit he was the one who cast the spell on Adrienna's panties, but instead traced his had up her back with a smirk.

"Having some troubles?" he asked as he noticed her yell out.

Adrienna was slightly pissed off, and on top of that, horny as hell. She would move, briskly, to join Naidra at the judging table. She too, would take up a glass, but it lacked the wine. Instead fruit juice, alcohol would simply tip the Moriel over too quickly. She nodded briefly to the Emperor Stormbringer and gave a smile to Naidra. It was time to put the coat back on. At least if her panties were removed again, the coat would conceal most of her private places. So she pulled her crimsoned coat on again, buttoning it at the front.

Soft steps guided Copper to the wrestling pits and the scent of chocolate caught her attention. The kitten made her way towards the pits and peered at the chocolate covered wrestlers. Coppery brown ears twitched as she heard her name, making her way towards the pit that would be her own place of wrestling, a bit of a nervous flutter furling and tightening in the kitten's belly. She glanced about, looking to see who her competition would be, who this Garret was, fingers drumming lightly over the toggles holding the woolen cloak to her form. Slipping it free, simple trousers and tunic were worn beneath.

Garret and Myra didn't stop for a second once and couldn't resist the temptation the tainted chocolate caused. Myra remained curled up close to Garret and invited Rei to join them if he wanted. Garret glanced over at Saire, watching her chocolate coated form, unable to help him up before Myra's shifted her attention to him. He glanced back, seeing Rei there and narrowed his eyes a bit, another friend of hers he did not like. Their first meeting had been far less than friendly, but he was never one to really dwell on such things, his arm tightened around her a little more, and a black feathered wing moving around her to help ward off the chill in the air.

Garret narrowed his eyes as his name was called, glancing towards Myra then as his arm and wing both fell away from her. He shook a little, not wanting to leave her and yet not wanting to participate either. Yet the idea of some contact, another body against his own, something had him moving forward as he glanced towards the woman he would be up against. He gave a small nod to the kitten he would be fighting, Copper.

Myra bit down on her lower lip as she moved to rest beside Saire, and her gaze never left that which was hers. His cloak she brought around her form to keep her warm without his body next to her, and she smiled gently as it smelled like him.

"Sometimes...I wonder why he puts up with me." She spoke softly to Saire as she leaned against her body.

Copper gave a courteous nod to the Torian and slipped her boots off before stepping in the molten chocolate.

Zeph watched from his seat with his arm wrapped around Zinnia's waist and pulled her onto his lap.

Garret wasn't prepared for this, boots left behind, leaving him barefoot in a simple shirt and pants and he tried to get some footing in the muck crouching forward to grab Copper, and then sidestep her.

He struggled with the kitten as she dropped into the pit, splashing him with chocolate and covering whatever might have previously remained clean. He was splattered completely now, almost impossible to find more than an inch or two of pale skin that wasn't smeared with Myra's gaze never left him even as she felt Saire's arm snake around her and pull her in a little bit closer.

Copper mewled softly, and attempted to flee for the moment failing as she felt the grip of the Torian. Strong despite his slender almost skinny appearance, she could feel the twist of her body squirming and wriggling was her next exertion, and attempts to break that slickened sucking grip covered in chocolate. Lips parted in effort of panting for breath, bits of the chocolate would coat her lips and melt upon her tongue, sliding the lithe muscle across her lips in effort to clean the lush tiers. Eyes darted behind her towards the male, giving a grunt and curling her fingers into the muck, trying to gain some sort of footing with her hands, trying to crawl free of his grasp and keep from being pinned to her back.

Garret lifted a hand from her waist then as he had her crawling, reached for an arm beneath her shoulder and tried to lift and roll her over. He was close, almost finished with the ridiculous game, and yet all the while he struggled to keep his body against hers without realizing it, their every movement caused them to rub together as he continued to shift his weight around her.

She was little and exasperated as she felt the final pin, her form repositioned and pinned by the still larger Torian. The friction of flesh against flesh made her lips curl into a grin.

Garret noticed the playfulness of the kitten, but such behavior was not matched in him. He slowly got up when the kitten had been pinned and the match declared over, carefully finding a footing before offering his hand down to help the woman. He said nothing, did not even give her a smile, only a small respectful nod as he helped her to her feet if she allowed him before turning and moving from the pit.

Her playfulness had been brief, merely a release of frustrations, even ending before he had stood. Hand was taken briefly, but quickly released as she moved out of the pit so the next round could take place. She quickly gathered boots and cloak quietly making her way in the direction of the baths to rinse off the layers of chocolate now drying upon that sun-kissed flesh.

Naidra watched the groups as she moved back to the table to take a drink of the wine. Garret was in the lead the other two still just getting started. She spotted Neko and Adrienna and smiled. Hearing Phaing she offered her a grin as well. She sent the workers over to refill drinks and offer a bite to eat to those there.

"So when are you gonna wrestle Winn? It's fun, even if you get tumbled.  How's that house we built you holding up, eh?"

With Phaing beside her naked, a bright blush came to her cheeks; and she turned to face her. Not because Phaing was unlovely to look at, but because she was a modest creature at heart.

"I dislike wrestling, and the house burnt down while I was travelling and doesn't exist any longer she murmured with bundled fists shivering under her chest.

Atis`dai chuckled at Phaing, "Why, you don't like the attention? You seemed like you had a good time in the pit, and believe me, their eyes *were* upon you there, too."

He took Winn's hand in his

Adrienna finished recording the winners of round one, up to time. She would release the quill and lean back against the high back of her chair. Still close to the pits, she was able to watch and calculate. The wrestlers were getting bolder, sneakier. Up till now, everything was going smoothly. She controlled her temper and kept the lust building inside her at bay.

Neko`Nightstalker moved about behind Tehya and drew a line of the tainted chocolate over the bard's bare skin. He moved on and moved behind Adri and whispered in her ear. "Need some help?" He wasn't touching her yet.

Tehya felt the smear of chocolate coating her cheek and felt herself forget about work and something stirred inside her. She fought every instinct to react to it, and instead felt a warm flush rushed through her body. Sitting back she tried to concentrate, and those bad feelings she just previously sent to Rei-Kai backfired on her miserably.

Again the warning touch to her upper thigh by the Emperor's hand and she began trying to concentrate and think of something else.

Eve kept her smile…though the light in her eyes faded a little..."Mountain is away...but allow Girl visit before go…when Bennu sister with Sir Red of Fist Mountain. Is good Bennu have new mountain...Sir Emperor of Storms good strong Mountain." She looked down again at the matches...and then at Tehya...before she would start to slip away, thinking that she likely was interrupting now…his hand on the others leg. Such touches usually meant more were coming.

Stormbringer accepted the carving, marveling at the quality of the work and smiled at the girl. "I'll make sure she gets it. And you may visit your sisters any time your owner allows it of course." He turned his attention back to the pits and she could take her leave if she wanted to.

Bennu shivered subtly though her spell was still in place, it wasn't the cold of the air that caused it, but the chocolate still mostly covering her. The slave girl took a deep breath, calming herself. The barbarian had taken great care to help her relearn her control, and as her arousal started to burn, she pushed it back. She hadn't moved from her spot, so Atis would find her standing as she had been before, hands clasped together before her. She caught his glance though only returned the look with a quick smile, looking back to the Torian, clapping at his victory.

Two others occupied themselves, Zeph shifted a bit, leaning forward his chest resting against Zinnia's back, only to lower his head down to let his chin rest against her shoulder. His arms moved to curl around her a bit more. He let his gaze trail over the ones that were wrestling and those that were there to simply watch the event.

Atis`dai the raven haired thief fell silent, moving a little bit away from Phaing and Winn as they talked, reaching up to play with the seashell connected to the black leather band around his neck, softly stroking it, idly, maybe even distractingly, while his brow tensed as he followed the other fights. He listened to the conversation between the girls, maybe in hopes to learn more about places to ‘visit' and make some coin, while gathering information about his potential next opponents. A lost glance would catch Bennu again, again trying to remember where he had met her before, because he was sure he had seen that face at least a few times, but things moved fast in Nanthalion, especially if you needed to work hard to keep alive every day.

Naidra kept her eyes on the final match wondering who would take it. She pulled out her quill and wrote the lineup for the next round and realized they will be uneven she pulls out a bag she had prepared for this very thing. She attached it to her belt and walked back to the pits brushing by Neko on her way and

The Final Round!

Myra. Laeral, Rei-Kai, Atis, and Bennu came up to wrestle in the final round. The wrestling ensued and Rei was proclaimed winner in his pit.

Tehya couldn't hold her tongue anymore and as she watched Rei fighting and called out, "boo Rei-Kai!"

Quickly she looked down since she was just told to continue writing which she did, but she heard people congratulating him which made that resentment rear its ugly head again.

Bennu saw the look in Atis's eyes, dawning within them. The catling started to announce the next round...as fate would have it...she was paired with Atis. That didn't mean Winn wasn't admiring her, and the look she gave her was rather see-through. She got ready for the next match wearing a short skirt and top, which was already wet with chocolate, giving a backward glance to master and Tehya. She smiled at Laeral who also was getting ready for her second match.

Atis`dai began to pace a little, moving left and right, and nearly feeling sorry for having to do what he was about to. Naturally, he would follow her gaze towards the Emperor as well as Tehya, and a short swallow later, he grabbed all courage he had and pounced towards the girl, just trying to pin her down with doing the least possible harm to her. The chocolate, he was sure, would catch her fall easily enough, and yet, he also felt the eyes upon his back, leaving him with a quiet shiver just as he catapulted himself forward at Bennu.

Stormbringer watched the events about to start with both his slaves having done well, his attention moving from one to the other

Tehya had to laugh at the sneaky Phaing who put her arm around Winn to ask her a question, but she couldn't resist jeering at Rei once again. Phaing asked all innocent, and dropped her arm, running a thumbnail down Winn's spine.

"I'm in the mood for some refreshments, and not that candy mud down there." She snapped her fingers, and took a flask of honey mead out of her pocket. "Want some?"

Atis heard the jeers from some of those in the crowd, but paid it no mind as he flicked off some of that goop from his form, scraping it from his arms as he moved from the pit. He didn't need to be caked in this, though it would be a useless effort given he'd be fighting again in this gunk and with a quick motion he took Bennu down.

Myra and Laeral fought it out and in the beginning Myra lost her footing and fell to one knee, but defeat didn't come easily she got back up and began to fight again. Laeral bucked up against Myra, trying to turn gooiness to her advantage. She grunted with the effort to try and take her opponent down into the mud and pin her.

In the meantime Neko placed a hand on Adri's shoulder before moving to check other things. He moved about spreading potion over those that were not yet infected. Starting with Winn he played the chocolate over her bare skin.

Eve stiffened when Bennu was taken down...fingers white in the material…though surely it wasn't possible to be hurt in the sweet stuff, and even if it was, she would be healed, right? And a look over at Laerel showed that she was doing well with hers...at least from what she could tell, but it wasn't as if she had training in such things, all she knew was from watching Tamryn.

Tehya smirked seeing she may have caught Rei's attention and continued noting the winners and writing the reactions of those who lost. It was time to watch Laeral and she stopped work, and sat there. The feeling she got from the chocolate subsided, and she fidgeted with her pin finding it cold just like it was outside.

Both Laeral and Myra were very good in their maneuvers – Adrienna was momentarily distracted with that touch from Neko, but she merely nodded at the man before returning attention to the pits. She was almost sure she knew who would be the winners. Alas, fates could be twisted around so readily and quickly. Glancing towards Atis and Bennu, she chuckled heartily if anything; the duo had some spunk in them. It was a good match to watch.

Garret watched as Myra began to fall, already looking overwhelmed as the match. Magic was her strong point, not this, and he knew it was only a matter of time and luck. As Myra finally fell and was pinned he could only shake his head, disappointed but not surprised.

Bennu was able to pull her wrists out of his hold, the cuffs slick with the chocolate, and she smiled up at him as he apologized for wrestling her. "I'm trying to win to sir."

She murmured, thrusting her hips up, trying to toss the man off of her, using the slippery chocolate to help her roll over and reverse their positions in the pit.

"My master is watching....there is no shame in submitting." The slave girl was covered in the liquid, and smiled sweetly to him.

Atis`dai lost his grip on the girl, having underestimated how slippery the chocolate could be and each of them tumbled and turned over each other.

Her hand slipped from Atis and she plunged back into the warmth of the chocolate. His hand on her hip made her tumble beneath him. He was stronger and quicker, trained in some fighting for sure.

"Not yet sir." She retorted softly, squirming still, doing her best to free herself.

"Oh no." he would denied her with words, if by actions and his hands were constantly falling off of her, so much that he started to question his skills, and despite his best of attempts, she seemed to want to actually try and win this duel between the two of them.

"Very well." He pressed out, and would try to surprise her with a sudden kiss, which was supposed to take her off guard for long enough that he could restraint her at last, and win the match.

Bennu squirmed under him, flat on her back, a position she was more than familiar with, and his attempt to kiss her only gained him a mouth full of chocolate as she twisted her head, her hand coming up out of the chocolate, bringing with it a hand full of the liquid...which she smeared into his face and hair as she slipped out from under him.

He lifted his head, and he blinked, his features smeared with some of the chocolate, dripping, and he was having an actually hard time even seeing something. He wiped hand over his eyes to try and free his vision again, then grumble softly under his breath, and, copying her action, tried to dunk her head instead into the sweet liquid.

"You, my dear, fight with unfair means! I can too!"

Tehya stood up, not ready to rescue anyone, but seeing better standing. Her eyes were riveted on Bennu, and she left her writing materials on the seat for now covered with her scarf to protect it from the snow falling.

Bennu ducked under the swing of his arm, missing the glob of chocolate he was about to clobber her with, instead she darted forward, pushing her shoulder into his belly, falling with him as they both toppled over. There was a massive splash of chocolate and when the wave subsided....the slave girl lay on top of the thief, the added potion affecting her more as she didn't make any attempt to remove herself from his covered form.

Eve applauded for Laerel...surprised when she left so suddenly...but obviously she had someplace she needed to be...and then watched Bennu's fight...Laerel won...maybe Bennu would as well!

Surprised Myra's gaze widened a bit as she pushed herself up, laurel darting off and a brow lofted slightly. A soft chuckle from her lips though as she thought about it. Win by default the girl almost had her and apparently she needed to rest some before the next match as it was true, her magic was a lot stronger then her own strength. Pulling herself out she made her way back to Saire and Garret.

Garret was surprised at that last minute turn though, Myra prevailed after all he had missed glancing around. Cold blue eyes moved from Saire to Myra, trying to discern what had happened though the other woman was already gone and the match over. As his mistress returned to his side he finally glanced down at her, seeing her fatigue, how worn she was, but there was something more there, something that had been building since the start of the event.

Phaing glanced over at Neko and smiled. "Maybe we better give Winn a break, eh?" -to Winn- "So, tell us about your lover... or why you keep giving His Nibs the eye, eh? Could it be that they are one in the same?"

Vorva was enjoying the wrestling ad stood off to the side watching. She was defined in muscle but yet had the sculptured body of a woman, with her work done; she cleaned off in aroused contentment.

Rei-Kai watched until the matches were finished, fighters leaving for some reason or another and others remaining to either become spectators or continue on to the next round, he scooped up a handful of chocolate from the pit and strolled across the area slowly. He didn't look directly at the female as he stepped closer, soon bringing his hand up to splatter and rub that chocolate goop into the woman's hair.

"Let's see how things go from here."

His tone didn't change, was he teasing Myra or something? Being playful? Maybe he just didn't like to smile with a big crowd gathered around. However once he did that he didn't stay and continued moving along to pick up his pants from where he'd flung them.

Myra's head lifted a moment as Rei came up and her violet eyes flickered over his naked from. She bit down on her lower lip and then let out a soft squeal as the chocolate coated her head and dripped down her neck and along her cheek though it already coated most of her body as it was and she was pressed in close to Garret. Her gaze followed Rei though, knowing him to be a far different person when she used to spend time with him.

Adrienna lifted one of her gloved hands, then both. The gloves peeled from ashen hued flesh, discarded, carelessly to the side. The heat was overwhelming, and the extra clothing sported agitation. Sharp tipped fingernails would soon crawl onto Winn's forearm, sliding along, before capturing wrist and then pulling the girl closer.

"Beautiful, isn't it? Lively flesh rippled painted with that decadent sweetness. She murmured words as she kept her gaze on the pits. Adrenaline knew someone was going to get the upper hand soon. Atis or Bennu? Time would tell. However, secretly, she vouched for the boy. Adrienna made an announcement Vorzheva and Saire, as well as Rei and Garret were to ready themselves, as they would soon step into the chocolate pits again.

Zeph blinked a moment as dozed off for a few moments. He straightened up he noticed that the dryad sitting with him had done the same. He gathered her into his arms and headed out in the direction of his home.

Garret heard his name called next as he turned his head to watch Rei being playful despite the cold appearance. He also noted the look Myra gave, never something that surprised him though, many received that sort of hungry gaze from her. As his match drew near he again left his cloak there with Myra, stepping forward towards one of the chocolate pits and waiting his turn, not happy with how things had turned out but if he was going to be pushed into this he might as well give it a shot.

Saire looked up hearing her name and the declaration of fight soon to be. She lifted upwards and answered the woman, Myra, at the quickly spoken words, in passing. The cold had just begin to toy along her skin, chocolate hardening upon dark curves, drawing density to cotton threads of the closely fitting -- all the closer from the excitement -- shirt and pants that hid from sight and not imagination flesh of the Dark Elven. She padded over to the empty pit, a bare hand dipping into the pit to test the temperature, her eyes widened as just the touch caused a light moan of want and desperate need to flush her form again. Her thighs rubbed against each other and she hastily straightened, full arousal teasing her senses. This fight would be much, much more difficult.

Stormbringer did his best to remain impassive but can't help a tinge of pride from his expression. Both his slaves showed their spirit and that made him proud for them, as well as proud that they had chosen to give themselves to him willingly.

Tehya leaned over and whispered in the Emperor's ear.

"I will write more from the magical mirror. Thank Bennu and Laeral for me."

She meant thank them for winning, and smiled, gathering her things to leave. Standing up she waved to Bennu, and turned to walk down the steps. Naidra was well occupied or she would have congratulated her on the success of her wrestling match. When getting to the bottom of the stands she winked at Jinx and began walking towards the palace. The warm fire from her room and magical mirror awaited her. When passing Rei-Kai she stuck her tongue out. A juvenile thing to do, but she meant it.

Funny thing about being the Imperial Bard and wearing the Emperor's pin, he had hold of her attention whenever he wanted it. As soon as she walked into the palace doors, the pin glowed and vibrated against her chest only to make her turn around and walk back to the wrestling event. She didn't scowl or protest because she knew when that pin beckoned her she better go back to him as quickly as possible.

Just as she walked back up to sit by the Emperor those cornflower blue eyes spotted Bennu again, and she didn't look at the Emperor since sometimes –she- had too much of a mind of her own, and knew he might have been displeased she left. Her papers were drawn out once again to write, but those eyes looking down her lips turned up in grin.

Stormbringer smiled as Tehya returned and gestured for her to sit closer to him.

Tehya moved closer and this time had warm wool gloves on, dyed a pale blue. She noticed the snowflakes falling in tiny sprinkles over her multi-colored cloak to only disappear moments afterwards. What luck; Rei was back in the match, and she watched with an amused expression.

When looking up she saw the thief yelp and Bennu dive under his grip. He felt her shouldering his midsection, taking him actually off of his feet and smashing him down into the chocolate. Suddenly the world went all gooey sweet and before he knew what had happened, he had… lost.

Staring upwards, his chin dropped a little, and he couldn't believe it. He had… lost. To a slave girl no less.

"Oh no." he whispered quietly, and then all tension rolled off of him as, with a heavy heart, he accepted it… "…well, damn…" maybe it was time to look for another profession. If even a collared one could take him down, a guard may do worse… "Well… congratulations…" he murmured softly.

Eve offered Bennu her cloak back to keep warm, but Bennu refused after casting clean on herself and walked back up to where Tehya and the Emperor Stormbringer sat. She reassured Eve she was alright, and warm having cast a warm spell on herself. That drug was still coursing through her blood and she felt a stab of need within her belly.

Stormbringer watched Bennu with a faint smile, recognizing the signs in her but not doing anything to distract her. After all, the need would be that more intense later on and he knew just how to benefit from it.

Where was the hostess? From when Tehya left and came back she was gone, and then she noticed Naidra working her mouth over Neko's cock pausing every so often to check on the match and letting her hands do the work for her. She looked like a kid in a candy store giggling for her treat truly affected by the drugs in the chocolate. A dangerous thing that chocolate, but it appeared Naidra had her mind in two places.

Jinx` looked to Neko, smirking, "Something gives me the idea something happened to this chocolate. Did Twerlinger donate anything to this event?" She attempted to give Naidra a light kiss before Neko interrupted her.

He tilted his head as he chuckled.

"You sure you want her to kiss you. It's going to be tainted with the ~chocolate~ and something extra," he said adding some sarcasm to the word. He looked to the match as he smiled. "Seems Rei-Kai won.  He advanced to the next round and called out the winner.

Jinx` swallowed hard and laughed at Neko's words before shaking her head. She was wondering when the best time to pass out the pins to those about.

Naidra worked up and down his cock her tongue tracing the veins just beneath the skin. She looked up at him and Jinx with a smile sparkling in her eyes. She worked her way to his tip and turned to see the match and smiled at the winner pulling off for a second to speak.

"Congrats Rei!"

She called, "rest while you wait for the next round." She turned and smiled at Jinx going back to her treat of Neko's thrusting her lips around him and sucking deep while her tongue played over his balls.

Neko almost pulled her back as he felt a lack of heat. A soft sigh as he felt her mouth back over him soon to feel the first of many releases spilling over her tongue. His hand on the back of her head made sure she knew she wasn't done yet.

Saire openly moaned, then, at the touch of firm skin upon the thin cloth keeping her chest from bearing to the world beyond. Despite herself she pressed into it, feeling the strong hand succeed, to some extent, and pressing her farther and knowing that it would be but a simple twist of powerful muscles to gain the advantage -- something that, if done, would be impossible to stop. So she acted in the first way her mind thought to: with attempts at distraction as both hands went to the human's chest, seeking pleasure points to tweak to try to carve out the sensibilities from the woman's mind so that the Moriel might press her down for a pin. It was a small hope, to be sure, but perhaps her only one.

She wouldn't let the man escape though, drawing him back and twisting within the much, his whole frame moving and working to flip around, twist and pull back, drawing the other Torian's leg into a figure four lock, intent on forcing his submission. In the end perhaps experience in battle worked more in his favor, even if he had lost much of his former ability. He was intent on becoming a force to be reckoned with once again.

Myra frowned as Rei pinned Garret, not sure exactly how to react to that one, glad for Rei-Kai disappointing for Garret but she was waiting for him at the edge of the pit knowing he would be a little disappointed in being beaten by somebody he did not like in the first place, but this was hardly the show of skills that should count in such things.

Garret thankfully was already covered in chocolate, slick enough that he was able to roll over and free himself, though not before losing the match. A small shrug was given, uncaring really, in truth glad it was over as he pushed himself to his feet. He was out of practice, not the fighter he had once been and even then he was one for a good pair of daggers and a strong bow. So he slowly stood and brushed himself off as best he could, a futile effort but he did so anyway before grabbing his boots and walking back over to stand beside Myra without a word.

The responses of the woman's body didn't need the help of another's at this point, as the strong hands of the mix-blooded woman grab a hold of the other as her breasts where toyed and played with. A growl rolled from her throat, as those once solid amethyst hues warred between dark drops of blood and the brilliant green of meadows. Hands would capture Seire's face, and her lips caught hold of the other's in a rather possessive light to shut the woman up, and just hold still for just one damn moment.

Rei-Kai released the man regardless as soon as the announcement was made, moving to stand up in the pool of chocolate, lightly shaking off his arms before moving to step out. Gaze turned towards Adrienna a moment as she nodded to him, giving a slight bow to her in turn before stepping out to scrape himself off a bit again. He'd need to hit the Baths later to get this all off or let a small of army of pixies and Fae go at him to get every bit clean.

"This is going to be a pain to get rid of." He said solemnly to himself and doesn't even look in the direction silver and dark winged pair. Inhuman eyes turned in Naidra's direction, only nodding as the woman was doing something he wasn't getting soon and hadn't gotten in a good while, and just proceeded to flick the globs of chocolate mess from his body.

Adrienna gave a nod to Neko, yet, only now realizing the pleasuring predicament the man was in. She would shake her head, smiling, turning away and watching the still going match. A little was given to Rei.

"Congratulations."

She said it loud enough for the man to be able to hear. She was pacing again, watching Vorva and Saire as they still went at it. The pushing pressings to chests held her attention, for now. Darting a caress of her tongue-tip over her kissable lips and her fur lined coat brushed the very grounds next to the pits as she walked around to observe. Her coat was fur lined and brushed the very grounds next to the pits as she rounded them once more.

Saire was surprised, to be sure, but not in an overtly angry manner at the suddenly rough response of the woman, her mind fluttering at the constant touching. Her hands faltered, but she was atop the woman still, still pinning her to the ground, and still struggling to shift her weight so that the Moriel pacing around them would be able to begin counting. With this powerful woman below her, she knew it was only a matter of time before the proper grip was made and she would be on her back and at the mercy of her combatant. But her tongue did dance across the other's lips, an eager sound coming from her lips with the chocolate swirling about, only increasing the desire and want of flesh upon flesh.

Adrienna called out Saire as the winner and smiled asking Vorzheva to come forward and give her a kiss when done.

Myra's fingers slid to Garret and found his hand as she linked her fingers with his own for the moment.

"Congrats Rei. "

She was leading Garret away none of his emotions showing was usual for him and her asher gaze slid over to check on Saire as well and tilted her head a bit while watching. She curled herself into Garret with his body coated in that chocolate and she went up on tiptoes to press her lips to his own while her body rubbed against his.

"You did well darling."

Vorva was under Saire and was tempted by the delicious moment, but it was the sound of Adrienna's voice, something more familiar then the warm body pressing into her own. Strong fingers squeezed against the other's arms, pulling her away from the WarLady's face as those amethyst hues opened to peer at the chocolate covered woman of some race she couldn't tell threw the chocolate. She moved muttering under her breath.

Adrienna swept her gaze back to the retreating Rei. His bow, at first, made her blink, twice! Then the almost inaudible mutter of words that she could only chuckle at it.

"Do not hinder yourself in removing it yourself. A tongue, or a few, might be more efficient."

Scoffing, lightly, she rolled her eyes before she would take the corner of the pit, swooping around it, bare, chocolate-crusted feet light and nimble upon the ground. She passed behind Rei-Kai, giving his rump a little pat as she did so. A fine thing, that ass as she would give it a once-over before moving on. The next round would be announced. She would halt, standing once more, lifting arms to cross them over ample bosom. Surely she could have some fun whilst waiting for the event to come to a closure?

Jinx` smiled brightly at the fact there was only one male in the match. She nibbled her lip as she looked over those there and realized she did know the man. She had waited on him at the shop...he had the strange Chirot girl as a slave. She smiled and nodded her head towards Rei and then to the other women who were in the competition still. She noticed the collar of one who was the slave of the emperor. She smiled, thrilled with how the tournament had seemed to turn out

Eve shivered watching Rei-Kai who would be in the next round frightened the hell of him before she even knew the language...which was why…he had frightened her so badly. Really it was Tamryn's fault…but she couldn't blame her 2nd mountain...so it had fallen on Rei.

"Bennu sister Fight wing man next?" her dark eyes large...and she shivered again, though she wasn't actually shivering. She frowned.

"Bennu sister watch nipples! Wing Man like grab...send magic through! Make learn when no understand! Watch nipples fight wing man!" her little face dark as she tries to warn the woman that she cared about.

Naidra continued to suck on Neko working his flesh milking him for every drop. She knew she wasn't done but she did have a job to do. She pulled back and licked her lips. Standing she announced the third round.

"Rei and Bennu please come to pit number one, and Myra and Saire please come to pit two for round three." she rang her bell drawing their attentions. She waited patiently for the

Garret couldn't help but let his arm wrap around Myra once more, tighter than before, drawing her in as she moved close and leaning forward a bit into that kiss. Thoughts of her were filling his mind no matter how he fought them, his body craving what hers had to offer as his lips pressed against her own for a moment before he was straightening up again and gritting his teeth. He was getting weak again though the cause was not hard to figure out, and for once it was not Myra's fault... not directly anyway. She was still the reason he was there.

Saire's delighted laughter came from her lips, not seeking to resist the human from shoving her away -- but not seeking to leave the oh-so-delightful swirl of chocolate beneath. Her breath caught, though, as the two next matches were announced, and violet eyes turned to seek out the Torian it was announced she would be facing, her full efforts wanting only to push the thought of who it was away, to focus … but she could not, so her teeth bit down upon lower lip to stifle her excited moan. She did not leave the chocolate, not unless directed to do so, waiting for the winged woman to join her.

Neko waited for his love to come back. He used his spell that he had the entire day on the same target again. Adrienna's panties would be tugged down almost as if to try and keep her in place.

Rei-Kai barely waved to Myra as she dragged her pet off before looking back to Adrienna who seemed to catch up with him for some reason or another.

"Wouldn't mind, given whom they'd belong to." He said that only to look away before he felt her hand upon his backside, which was quite toned and well-muscled. He was a Torian who kept himself very in shape, in every way. He didn't show much of a reaction, and crouched low to scoop his hand into the pool, and rose up slowly and examined the chocolate pudding in his hand, almost studying it. Then, turned his gaze to the retreating Moriel, and launched that sticky sweet ball to splatter across the woman's delightful derriere.

Her feet cleaned off the snow, her hands slid the chocolate cream from her flesh as she was squeezed the stuff from her hair as she shivered with each step. She wondered why she'd felt the need for so many...sensitive piercings before moaning softly to no other but herself as she straightened. Amethyst hues were settling into a solid hue as they searched for a towel to clean her off with, and find the Dark Flame everyone knew as Adrienna. She hadn't forgotten the Darkling, more so for the fact she wished to give an update on the Feline she'd been entrusted with earlier.

Even to the bard writing in the journal those velvety words of Myra made her shiver, there was a sound of taunting and seduction, words she had heard from someone next to her and she knew that she may be doomed if she heard him speak like that to her again.

 Myra whimpered against Garret's lips, her violet eyes soft upon him as she reluctantly pulled away and bit down on her lower lip. She wanted to just drag him around the corner and use the shadows to hide them at the moment because she knew of his dislike for such displays in public. Hearing her name though had her pull back and that violet gaze shifted to Saire within the pit.

She was still dressed, slightly, that corset about spilled forth breasts as it was already torn and the leather pants hugged every curve of her body as it sat low on her hips. Moving up and within she let her gaze slide over Saire, already hot as the chocolate did such things to her thoughts and her body. She shuddered a moment and then stepped forwards slightly, waiting for them to start the fight she leaned in and drew Saire back up to her feet and let her fingers caress her cheek.

"Ready for this Saire, it will be the first time you get to feel my body against yours."

 She spoke gently as she started to circle her. "I know you wanted it for days now." Her breathe warm and lips brushed against her ear lightly.

Naidra watched as the contestants made it into place and rang her bell again starting the match. She moved back over to her love retaking her place on her knees and drew his attention back to her with the hot wet feel of her mouth.

Neko's tug on Adrienna's panties wasn't missed and the lace slid down her silken skin caressing along her rump and thighs to show off the curves she had and she growled loudly. The effects were bombarding her rather quickly faster than before and she squeezed her thighs together as she squirmed with heated delight. A soft -oh- escaped her luscious thickness of her lips. Neko used more magic to draw the panties into his hand as he purred loudly as Naidra sucked and licked him.

Turning, Adrei eyed Rei top to bottom then back up again.

"Come here!"

Decadence of ferociousness evident in her voice and as soon as Vorzy was close her lips pressed against the woman's in a wet hot kiss.

Bennu looked down at Eve, and took heed of her warning, smiling as she kissed her forehead again.

"I will be carful" She murmured and stood as her name was called. The slave girl didn't show the fear that her sister did, in truth there was a small bit of admiration in her gaze as she joined the Torian at the pit, her eyes lifted to look pass him, looking at his wings instead. She gave Rei a respectful nod of her head as she stepped into the pit, waiting for the match to begin.

Garret watched Saire and Myra, his mistress and a friend, or at least he thought the Moriel was a friend, such things with him were rarely understood. At the very least there were no hostilities, something he was rather surprised with as few people tended to actually like him. He never gave anyone reason to though as he looked on, still no sign of interest upon his calm features as he again went to brush off some of the chocolate from his form until there really wasn't much more he could do, covered in a thin layer of the sweet liquid.

More Wrestling Ensues!

Saire and Myra slid this way and that sending more chocolate splashes to those observing close enough not to escape it. Bennu and Rei faced off even after she was warned about Rei-Kai by Eve, and with that spirit she did her very best in the wrestling match.

Jinx` looking between the two pits, watching them with a huge smile. This all seems to be going terribly well. She licked her lips as she saw a fae traveling towards her and a few others holding packages. She took the note and packages and looked over them, realizing they were from the Viceroy. She nodded and read the note looking over the people present.

Vorzheva the WarLady couldn't resist Adrienna's lips against hers and her fingers pressed into the curve of the other's rear to lift her up and close, crashing her chest into the other's with no mercy. A hungry lover's embrace she offered the quivering Dark elf, as delicious moans teased the ears for the promises this night may find them.

Myra practically felt the heat off of Saire "My goodness girl… they got you all wound up and gave you nothing to play with."

She teased once again but kept a very close eye upon her, watching her every movement as she began to play with her. Oh the delights this was going to be to watch her struggle with need and arousal. She sidestepped quickly, rolling away out of that pounce and let the Moriel slide straight down into the chocolate before she was moving after her, coming to straddle her from behind. Her thighs pressed along her hips and she leaned over so that once again her lips were at her ear and then down along her throat.

"Does it frustrate you to watch others be able to touch, and you have to keep your hands to yourself? Perhaps you should work on that task I gave you."

Bennu had taken Eve's warning to heart perhaps. She had watched the man wrestle twice already, so she didn't wait to give him the chance to get ahead. She ran and threw herself bodily into the taller, stronger man. It had worked before.

Rei-Kai barely had been paying attention much to all else around as things got started and moved forward slowly through the pool of chocolate sweetness, a brow slightly raised at the girls gasp. It wasn't because of him, that's for sure and he did notice she was with the Emperor before. Should he go easy on her then? That thought passed as he watched the young female dash and run into his chest. He should really stop letting down his guard at the start since he found himself falling back into the pool from the woman's charge.

Saire`s body arched against the woman's, mind cursing the choice of wearing this instead of well, that she was in the midst of a pit with many eyes on her had fled from her mind, and to her there was only the warmth, herself, the Torian, and the chocolate-induced lust burning at her body.

She moaned out from her lips that tasted the sweet treat upon it, attempting to stand up and turn to face the Torian, the motion caused her to just slip and slump back into the pit helplessly. Oh she did have plans for the woman who had caught her in the forest, but finding her proved a different task of difficulty altogether. Her hands, unable to summon the strength to try to gain any advantage in the fight, moved backwards to leather-bound hips, her flamed body rubbed back against the woman's front.

Jinx found herself watching the Emperor's slave girl and the winged man wrestling, finding him incredibly sexy covered in chocolate. She swallowed hard as she pulled her cloak off, her body growing a bit warm at the moment as she tilts her head, watching them closely

Neko looked down to Naidra as he smiled. "Care to ride rather than taste it will give you a chance to watch the matches and me a better view."  He moved his hand to Jinx's thigh and asked, "Are you OK?"

Jinx` turned and looked to Neko blushing a little, 'Yeah yeah! Oh look at these!" she says, opening the bag at her side, pulling a silver cloak pin out of it. Engraved on the shiny silver top was, 'Vote for Naidra'. She grins as she passes one to Neko to also show Naidra, "I had them made before I had to go and they were on my doorstep when I got back before getting here!" she says,

Jinx smiled brightly before turning back to watch Rei-Kai.

Naidra climbed up on Neko's lap and pushed her panties to the side to lower down on him while he let his frisky hand move up Jinx's thigh as Naidra pushed herself down on him. He gave a soft sigh as he felt her sliding over him. The remnants of chocolate made him friskier as she settled down. A soft sigh as her tight walls only made his friskier.

Jinx` felt Neko's hand...The boy seemed to be insatiable...A girl sliding down on his manhood and he is feeling her up as well. She cannot help but smile. She shrugged. "I didn't have to but I wanted to! Got a good deal anyways!" she said with a bright smile before looking over the others. She moved closer to the pits to get a better look at Rei and Bennu wrestle, her eyes alight with delight at the sight.

Bennu gasped because of the drugged chocolate at first, but as she went crashing into Rei, that gush of air was forced from her lungs. His body was like solid rock, muscles and flesh. He was naked so there was 'no' place for her to grab him and get a hold that wasn't improper. There was no way to out wiegh him, but she had come this far...and she was already feeling the burn of within her. The Torian would feel her hand curl around his cock and gave a tug as she tried to un-foot him.

Tehya looked back and forth making sure not to boo this time, since Bennu was now wresting Rei-Kai and it would be inappropriate. Instead she watched without writing anything down, this surely could be done by memory. Seeing what Bennu did brought a smile to her face. Maybe it was in fun, or maybe she really disliked Rei from past meetings in the Inn, but the score and wrestling amused her. She snuck one hand onto the Emperors when Rei-Kai went down just to motion it delighted her.

Stormbringer grinned as he watches Bennu a little too reserved to cheer her on vocally, but did inside at least.

Rei-Kai had the distinct feeling there were some watching and raping him with their eyes while he was in the midst of trying to fend off the slender figure before him. Was he imagining that or was there something in this gunk affecting people? He didn't even think about it at first. And then the girl grabbed at that heavy, meaty length of his as if to uproot it.

He actually didn't realize that he had actually been maintaining that rather well in this cold. Maybe it was something in the chocolate. Either way, he gave a slight groan before his hands moved to grasp at the woman's wrists, wings extending a bit to push back against the muddy ground enough to grant some leverage to pull the girl and flip them over to reverse their positions, attempting to pin her arms above her head as he straddled her.

Laerel walked back toward the wrestling event and was motioned by the Emperor to sit beside him where, Tehya, and Eve were.

Naidra knew Bennu from her times at the SS and called out her encouragement.

"Go Bennu you can do it!"

She continued to bounce moans breaking up her calls of encouragement. She rolled her hips back and forth her own pleasure growing with every bounce

Laerel moved to Stormbringer's side and smiled up at him before looking toward Bennu. She smiled, watching her sister.

Tehya leaned over to whisper to Laeral, "She got him good." She didn't say where, that was likely visible enough for Laeral to see. Setting back and leaning close to stay warm next to the Emperor she watched to see if Rei-Kai would go down.

Laerel nodded and whispered softly, "Good!" She giggled and winked to Tehya before looking back to Bennu and Rei.

Garret watched as Myra wrestled Saire to the ground, though there was clearly more to it than that and he shook his head at the thought. It was confirmed, already aware of Saire fighting with some sort of feelings towards Myra but not Myra seemed to be having fun with the other as well. Pulling his cloak a little tighter around his form he found himself only growing warmer even without it, eyes moving from the two he had been watching only to return to them, helpless but to watch his mistress and the Moriel beneath her.

Jinx` eyed Bennu and Re-Kaii, nibbling her lip before coughing. She rubbed her tender, sore throat before looking back to Naidra, seeing her and Neko still going at it. She turned to look at the other judge, realizing she is a little distracted with a friend. She cannot help but laugh.

Bennu was suddenly flying through the air, flipped over Rei and planted on her back in the chocolate, she grunted out, startled at the move, her hands easily gathered and pinned over her head. The Torian straddled her, and she struggled to break his hold doing little good. She lifted her hips, thrusting up under him...and still she couldn't break his hold and the more she soaked in the chocolate, the less she wanted to.

Laerel gasped and stood up, ready to go to Bennu's aid when she saw her flying through the air. She looked at Stormbringer, her temper flaring at the sight of what she thought was her sister being hurt.

Stormbringer gave Laerel a hard stare warning her not to interfere since Bennu would be disqualified.

"Settle down girl," he told her. "It's not real combat."

Eve stood up to see him flying with Bennu, worried that he was going to take off entirely...but then he pins her and she stands there, curling her small fists into her master's shirt...her dark eyes staring at him. But she doesn't move, merely waiting at the bench by the refreshment table…trying to see what would happen...if he would win, or if Bennu would manage to free her.

Laerel sat back down and whispered, "I'm sorry, Tura" and she smiled lightly, though she avoided the match between Bennu and Rei, looking elsewhere so she would not be punished for her temper.

Tehya didn't get up seeing Bennu fly through the air, but did release with a sigh showing she was worried. Maybe her message to make him flounder made him fight even harder.

Rei started to feel more interested, her squirming was definitely getting other reactions than he liked to give while in the middle of such a contest. However he managed not to give into the sudden urges. He soon turned the girl onto her back, reaching down to pull the woman's leg up with other arm pressed across her chest to hold her down for the pin. He was feeling warmer than he should and needed to finish this up before other things started to happen that would not be good for certain viewers.

Tehya shrugged, "She did well Laeral no matter." Either way Bennu was a winner in Tehya's eyes just from that last move she did. She almost wished she had entered; it would have been fun to get even with Rei-Kai.

Bennu wasn't struggling so much as she was squirming under him...and even that squirming wasn't her trying to escape from him. He pulled her leg up and it hooked around his waist, his arm crossed her chest and her spine arched up to push her breasts into his arm. She was having trouble breathing as Rei-Kai was announced the winner and she couldn't have cared less. Her short skirt did nothing more than to block the press of his flesh against her, the girl quite naked under it.

Rei-Kai resisted the desires running through him and left her in the pit of chocolate. She looked startled he left her after she just blatantly rubbed against the Torian, and sat up trembling to scramble upon her feet to walk back to where the Emperor and her friends were.

Myra and Saire's wrestling was the last round to end the evening and there were blissful sounds coming from Saire, she was in the state of arousal, eyes opened, mouth gaped as a blissful sound escaped her throat. Her back arched, to press herself against that body, feeling the touch mingled with chocolate sliding between them, heightening each stroke and kiss. Perhaps she presses upwards enough to not be solidly pinned, but such was not a goal, her only want here to be at the whims of the Torian who held her down. One covered leg twined about that of the woman's, her hands moved up, between them to stroke at the flesh that they can find.

Myra chuckled and her lips pressed to her throat, her guard let down just a little bit as her tongue swirled over flesh, licking chocolate from her before her lips found her ear lobe and gave a soft tug as her teeth clamped down there lightly. She only gave a taste of what she could give as she did the task given to her. Or perhaps if she tried and it was a good enough effort as she knew Adrienna was a hard little birdie. Body rolled against her own, pressing tighter not to pin but to rub against her own, wishing for a mere second that her clothing was

Thoughts of a fight long gone found Saire's lips, her body thrust against the woman above her, needing the touch and embrace as much as she needed the breath in her lungs. There was a thought to squirm, to prolong this, that the woman would be gone as soon as the judge said so, but that voice was lost amongst the many moaning for the Torian. Her hands sought to tug the woman's corset off fully, though her efforts were only weak at best, her strength drained by that single nibble, all her thoughts focused entirely upon the pleasure the woman gave her.

Vorzheva with the lurch creature from her arms and not so warm against her skin, she shivered and pulled herself together spite how her body still ached. Teeth worried against her lips, while she used the towel to wipe off any more chocolate that may still linger upon her arms and legs; a dip in the hot spring was very much needed. She assured Adrienna there would be a later and kissed her cheek.

Adrienna closed her eyes, momentarily, as that brush of lips touched claw-marked cheek. It took all her resolve, all her strength, to not pull the girl closer once more. Swallowing, hard, before she would open almond shaped eyes again. A flare within those ruby jewels.

"Oh very soon… Vorzheva... very...very soon."

The promise was given as she watched the warrior retreat. A soft sigh spilled from her lips. She gazed at those still wrestling and paced up and down, an after effect of the tainted chocolate, keeping herself in control.

The ink in which spread across the woman's back told a story with its design, but appeared alive with each step the WarLady took in her retreat from the Dark elf that was oh so tempting. Fingers squeezed into her palms, eyes closing a brief moment only to loosen and her held breath to ease from parted lips. A single and last glance was offered the Fire Mage whom tended the pits, smiling spite their current conditions.

Naidra moaned watching as the matches came to an end she smiled not wanting to move this time she called out.

"Our winners for the third round are Rei and Myra....if you two would meet in pit one can commence." She called out and her nails dug into her thighs as she tried to keep her voice level and not give completely into the pleasure she was feeling.

Myra's corset was ripped down the center and she gave a soft gasp while pulling off Saira, When she heard the match had ended she chuckled with soft pants of breath in between, handing off Saire to Garret.

"Here darling... I fear she might not be able to use her legs just yet."

She chuckled though as soft little pants came from her. Those violet eyes found Garret's, and there was as look of lust for him before she was pulled her gaze away and tried to focus and pull her mind away from the pleasure of flesh. Her tongue swept across her chocolate lips as she heard who won the other match and who she would be against. A pause in her movements as her gaze shifted immediately to Garret before looking away almost guiltily.

Garret saw how things were turning out, far from surprised really. Myra had won her fight, Rei had won his, giving them each a chance he knew they both wanted. It had been clear quite some time ago, and given all the outside factors coming into play he knew what was going to happen. Dark wings extended out at his sides, though by now they were too heavy, the chocolate taking its toll there too as the muscles.

Adrienna took a deep breath. Things were concluding, coming to an end. And, alas, she couldn't -stand- anymore. She would move, towards her chair on that stage specially made up for the judges. Her legs crossed over the other one and her arms draped over the arms of the chair.

Rei-Kai found her bare beneath, however he would not succumb even to the now submissive girl who seemed almost too ready for him.

"Good match."

He said that a bit offhanded as he slowly released her to climb from the chocolate pit. He felt unusually hot, even with the cool air and chocolate dribbling down his naked form. He would proceed to the assigned pit for the last round, his startling length oozing with that chocolate syrup before he moved within to face his final opponent. Perhaps for the first time this evening, he looked towards the one he was to face and offered a small, faint little smile.

"Let's go out for dinner sometime after this, alright, Myra?"

Eve watched Bennu and blinked her cheeks suddenly turned a dark charcoal with a heated sort of flush...she definitely was not herself, and it slammed the little Oread's mind back to her own rather lonely current state. The way she moved bringing such things to mind…and for the first time since he's been gone, her mind turned to that stone toy that she had once made for her sisters…untouched since creation…the form of a Mountain no longer even living...dare she touch it? Distracted…she would start trying to make her way through the crowd.

Garret had barely been paying attention to Saire after that, distracted by his thoughts until the warmth of her body was felt against his own, and the bit of added weight. His head turned, glancing towards the woman just in time to watch her press her lips to his, unexpected to say the least. Yet there was something there in it, some hint of want from his own body expressed in the way his arm moved around her waist to help steady her there against him, inviting her closer.

 Her tongue swept along her lower lip once again as she watched Rei-Kai and then chuckled.

"You're paying."

But she did not say no, she still had a lot to learn about him since his return and it was a frustrating situation. Her gaze would slide over him and then chuckle as she pushed a few chocolate drenched curls behind her ear once again. She tried to push past the lust, the need her body wanted of touch and flesh but she knew that nee

Myra all to well, that magic use to be her specialty and she was trying to push through it all as she started to work towards Rei. She knew he'd never take the first move against her and so she was trying to keep her focus and at the same time knock him off his feet as her arms wrapped about his waist and she put all her weight and strength against him to take him down.

Stormbringer caught Bennu's eye and held it, smiling to show he wasn't annoyed with her but also gesturing for her to come and join them. He wouldn't want her alone at that moment, though if he spotted Eve he indicated she can come along too.

Tehya wrapped her cloak about her tighter, missing the summer rays. When Rei and Myra got up for the last round, she wasn't sure who to silently cheer for. He wasn't a dreaded enemy, not yet at least and she didn't know the other person. Some dirty fighting might amuse the Sylvan something like Bennu did inspired her to think about trying if there was another one.

Neko heard his mate's voice breaking. His own pleasure high and ready as he pulled back a hand and landed a swat on her ass kneading at her ass as he wiggled for her.

Naidra squeaked as she tried not to cry out again. He had her attention and almost all her attention pushing her to the brink of her orgasm and leaving her there to hover denied spilling over till he growled then she could hold back no longer. She came for him coating his body in her pleasure as she finally cried out a deep pleasure filled sound.

Neko`Nightstalker felt that clenching release. Her heat covering his thighs as he filled her, returning his release as he pulled her tight to his hips. He enjoyed her plush ass flat against his body. She felt his orgasm matching her own and rocked for a bit more before stilling her body when he pulled her closer. Naidra sighed softly, content that need finally filled so she could focus once more. She moved her hands over his and turned her eyes to the match though her vision was a bit out of focus. Blinking a few times she tried to clear the pleasure haze from her vision.

Saire snuggled close to Garret, it was easier to keep her balance with the man aiding in it. He did not seem so lost as she  and she was sane enough still to know that she was lost in this lust but that did not give her pause as she sought to press more firmly upon the man's lips, then, a hand snaking around his neck to draw him in even closer. She thought to thank Myra that she had dragged the Moriel out of the pit and directed her to someone she could trust. She couldn't say no to anyone who wanted to get close to her and this way at least she remained in some semblance of safety.

Adrienna swept her tongue across her lips once more leaving a glossy sheen behind. She grinned, approvingly at Myra's tactics. The bell having been sounded, signifying the last round to commence. A clean spell would then be cast upon herself, to remove the last traces of chocolate and the taint that it held. She still felt hot, however and fought the urges within her as she watched the last fight between Rei-Kai and Myra.

Rei-Kai moved with her, using Myra's weight and momentum to shift their positions even as she grabbed him around his waist to pull him down. He twisted his hands and grasped at her shoulders only to slide down to the chocolate pit to lurch the silver winged female into the pool of chocolate.

He watched the match begin, Garret's empty gaze observed the two before being drawn to Saire once more. He knew what was going on, even as he leaned into that kiss for a moment, wanting that just as she did but having enough strength left to finally lift his head a little and break the contact while still supporting her body.

"Calm down."

 As he spoke though his voice deepened, only so much strength there left Garret in him after fighting it all day and yet what he wanted was still out of reach.

Saire moved to be more in front of him, free hand running up her dress, slathering it with chocolate that was still warm, still fluid and lifted it up to press the hand up against the Torian's neck, stroking the flesh beneath a moment.

"Your Mistress will be along soon enough, Garret," her voice laced with the huskiness in her tone. She clasped his free wrist and moved it to her chest encouraging him to press his fingers into the barely-covered swells.

"She will not mind if I keep you ready for her, either," she added, her eyes demanding as they looked into his.

Stormbringer beckoned Bennu over to them, and she was feeling the effects of the drugs, the wine had only added to them. She was scrubbing at the chocolate with little success, so when she caught Stormbringer's gaze she was grateful, the man just seemed to -know- when she needed his guiding hand. The trio was like a beacon to her through the crowd, the slender slave girl slipped passed the people milling about, and accidently spreading the chocolate on more those she passed, even Eve was lost to her at that moment. Finally the little mage reached the Emperor and his girls, forgetting the chocolate still covering her she knelt at his feet leaning into his lap, her face gently nuzzling him.

Stormbringer stroked Bennu's hair, murmuring for one of the other girls to clean her off, letting her just rest there with her head against his thigh. "You and Laerel did very well," he reassured her.

"You may not have won but I'm proud of you both for showing that I don't collar doormats, but only girls who have spirit and who can continue to serve without losing any of it." Then he fell silent again for a moment, just letting Bennu feel his warmth.

Laerel smiled and whispered softly, "Thank you Tura" and she began to wipe the chocolate off Bennu before simply casting clean over her, letting the magic take the chocolate away. She looked to Eve and smiled, whispering.

"Are you alright, sister?"

Bennu nodded her head, and answered Stormbringer murmuring softly.

"Thank you Master, I enjoyed the wrestling, thank you for allowing us to join."

Though after Bennu finished speaking she continued to nod her head, and soon enough the barbarian would realize she was slowly inching her way closer to his groin. One small hand had slipped along his outer thigh, fingertips subtly started to invade the waistband of his pants. The spell cleaned her, but the potion within the chocolate was already well rooted and in effect.

Eve was indeed lost in the crowd, and started to panic when Bennu brushed past her, though not seeing her. She turned, and began to follow...rubbing at the chocolate on her arm, her dark eyes large. When they reached Laeral, Stormbringer and Tehya...and when Bennu kneeled, she just naturally kneeled too, though she didn't curl herself against him. He wasn't her mountain, after all.

Stormbringer saw Eve arrive from the corner of his eye and remembered what she had given him to hold, fishing it out of his pouch and handing it back to the odd little nymph. "You can give her this yourself now," he told her quietly.

Tehya simply said to both Bennu and Laerel, "Well done." She wasn't sure who the other woman was that sat down, but glanced over to Neko and laughed knowing he sure had fun that night. She had something up her sleeve with Sugar and Spice, maybe stocking the palace kitchen with treats for a visitor friend of hers.

Laerel whispered softly, "We are fine." and she looked toward Stormbringer, silently asking him something that he knew she would ask. Unladylike

Stormbringer nodded to Laerel and just said "Your room!"

Laerel glanced to Eve, then whispered, "Sister, you can come and stay with us if you wish… until your own Mountain comes back?" she asked softly, then blushed a bit, "That is, if you would want to."

Rei's shoulders as if ready to bend her forward in half, or prepare to violate her. That thought crossed his mind, but he didn't indulge it as he tried to keep Myra on her back to pin her down. It was a most intriguing position though. Myra gave a yelp and pushed back up with her legs swept out from around him and then pushed up over one of his shoulder, leaving her bottom well exposed. She glared at him in that position, her shoulder blades pressed back against the chocolate and there was absolutely no way she was able to get out of it exactly. She trembled a moment, that chocolate was definitely getting to her as a moan slid from her lips and then she was trying to fight it.

"Rei-Kai off!"

She didn't want it to happen like this… not now... not until she had him figured out more or they got to talk more. She wasn't one for a quick hot fuck... though the idea at the moment was not too far off as she felt the weight of his body against her own and her dark lashes fluttered closed to hide those lusty violet eyes. Soft little pants came from her lips.

Stormbringer ran his fingernails up Tehya's back so she didn't feel left out. After all, she'll be a part of their little group fully before long, though she won't know it. His mind has already been working on some peripheral information he had received, and that he would learn more about in a few days, he hoped.

Tehya relaxed more feeling the touch to her back. She wasn't sure if she should leave or what and gathered her papers in her hand. He certainly was warm and she had no magic to cast upon herself. So instead of bolting off she waited with papers for the journal in hand to be dismissed. The cold sparkle on her pin caught her eye something was quite beautiful about that pin.

Stormbringer won't be giving Tehya permission to leave until they all headed back to the palace together. It was overdue for her to spend time alongside the other two girls who shared his time.

Eve took the stone...her smile was shy...as she started to hand it to Bennu...a little relief of her pinning Ryshiu in the first fight…complete with the surprise on her face....though also with the elegant curves that the girl saw in her human friend. When Laerel asked if she is alright...she blinked a little...and squirmed...looking at her arm. Then back into her sister's eyes as she answered Laerel in a soft tone.

"Mountain away." and she shivered again "Girl ok...Bennu sister ok?" the words soft, her dark eyes watching, and it was making her squirm more. She didn't have much of the chocolate on her..whatever was inside it surely didn't have much time to affect her, still, she was a nymph.

Neko shifted and smiled as he licked his lips. When he was finally settled he looked about seeing Tehya he nodded to her offering her a big lazy smile. Looking about again he saw Adrienna a spell and a whisper sent to her.

"I have something from off of you and if you want it just come by the SaS and ask for them.

"He sent to the spell for her to hear he pulled Naidra back and holding her close.

Garret tried to keep his eye on the match, on the two struggling in the chocolate during the final round. Saire would not have any of it though it seems, her hand moved to his neck to smear that warm, delicious liquid chocolate on his neck, causing him to inhale sharply and be further distracted. His hand then taken and guided to her chest, fingers curling around her breast before even realizing it, a natural reaction as the potion left him wanting. But he was stronger, and he kept telling himself he was, he had to be while his hand pushed at her a bit before sliding down to her side

Naidra watched the match come to an end and called out the winner.

"Rei takes first place!"

 She went on to tell the list of all those that placed and what they won. She still dint trust her legs to move just yet so would give out the prizes in a moment.

"If the winners will come into Sugar and Spice I will hand out the rewards there."

Adrienna congratulated the winners. She also told Rei-Kai that he has won an evening with her, should he wish it. Also, she would nod to Neko before slipping out and away.

Saire tried to stay in focus and purred out pressing herself into Garret's embrace insistently. Her mind was regaining some level of focus lost in the moaning and desire that had been her time next to Myra, enough to know that Myra had shoved her at her slave only temporarily. The Torian was as hot as she was, and would undoubtedly want her pet back soon, but. .. It made her snuggle all the closer.

Saire leaned against Garret wishing that she could steal him away for just one evening, knowing that she wouldn't try. Kisses planted to the man's neck, hand stroking the man's chest firmly allowed her to think of something other than what would happen in mere minutes when the contest was over and Myra was dragging her slave somewhere safe for them to... clean.

Bennu heard Eve's voice even asked if the girl would stay with them. She lifted her head from Stormbringer's lap, looking to Tehya. The barbarian had spoken fondly of her, wanted her to spend time with her. But right now it was a challenge to simply sit there. Her hand shifted from his waistband, and slid across the front of his pants, nothing subtle about it, her palm started to caress him through his trousers.

 Eve blinked at Laerel...and smiled hugging her. "Yes...but, have to go often, check castle, and cracked in Mountain's mountain.

"Girl keep watch and make sure no shake."

But she smiled and a bit of the sadness in her eyes leaks away..."Girl misses sisters." whispered softly, though with a glance at Bennu, she's really not sure that something isn't wrong with her. Then again that is how she would act if she wanted her Mountain inside her. It was painful to watch, making her insides hurt and ache...but she was very glad to see that Bennu had a good Mountain to want so much. She glanced at Laerel...giving her a soft smile, wondering why she was not curling up with her mountain too. Perhaps it was because of the crowd...which she understood as well…it certainly wanted to slip under the stones.

Rei-Kai might have been a better man than Tehya thought he helped Myra get to her feet and clean off a bit and whispered against her cheek without taking advantage of her.

"Be well! Go… He's waiting for you."

Laerel nodded and whispered, "of course... go and come as you wish, sister, my room is yours." and she smiled, hugging her gently.

Stormbringer tilted Bennu's chin up and forced her attention.

"I know you spent a long time in that stuff but remember the control I taught you save your arousal until I'm ready to use you, girl." He said that in a quiet voice so she'll know he isn't really cross with her

Tehya was uncertain even more as Bennu began caressing the Emperor, and being outspoken she wiggled in her seat becoming fidgety and wanting to say something. Never being around slave and Master… she had questions. She knew better to speak out of turn though, and moved a bit to turn and look at Rei-Kai and Myra. There was a glint in her cornflower blue eyes as she tried catching Rei's hoping he would remember her message of failure. Maybe it just amused her because there wasn't a resentful bone in her that evening.

Stormbringer gripped the back of Tehya's neck with his fingers, not hard but firmly enough.

"You stay where you are too, girl. Don't go walking out without asking. I'm keeping you all around this evening."

Bennu looked up at her master, his gentle words prompted her nod, slowly drawing her hand away from his cock. She left her head in his lap however, cheek turned to rest on his thigh, eyes turning to look at each of her sisters in turn. Tehya, Eve and Laeral, her hands folded to rest on her lap, pressing against her belly. She remained still, breathing slowly as her body burned.

Tehya held back a laugh; Stormbringer caught her by surprise and he had a tendency to read her body movements and mind sometimes. She hadn't got up to leave but she sure wanted to, that warm bedroom seemed very inviting to her. She just whispered, "Yes My'Lord." But inside her mind she was thinking I want out of here.

Stormbringer smiled as Bennu regained the control he had worked to achieve with her. "That's very good, little one," he told her. "And you won't have to wait too long, I promise you."

Garret closed his eyes, trying to gather his thoughts, part of him wanting to just drag Saire off as Myra and Rei-Kai fought. He heard the announcement of the winner though, and the instructions to head elsewhere, to the Sugar and Spice to get their prizes, among which he had won one. It was fortunate then, giving him something else to focus on as he turned to look around again, eyes opening upon Saire before moving over his surrounded again.

Garret shivered wanting to taste the chocolate upon Saire as well but he knew he could not, so much damage there to be done if he were to let himself. He did move his hand up along her back though, tracing along her spine and keeping her body close as he spoke.

"Damn this chocolate."

Laerel smiled and wrapped her arms around Eve, then took her cloak off, and places it on Eve's shoulders. She had a warm dress on, long sleeved... and it would be enough for her to keep warm. She wrapped her arms around Eve once more, smiling glad to have both sisters in one spot after a long while.

Saire giggled, shaking her head slightly, her nose flicked against his skin as he looked up at him.

"Oh, no, I think the Chocolate is quite wonderful. What I wouldn't give to be in your position tonight."

Saire could not really control herself, or control her words, at the least. She'd have to find something to do to get these chocolate-thoughts out of her head, but she had sense enough to the least, to not lick away any chocolate from the male Torian. She had heard -- and though it was distant -- Myra told her slave they were going to clean each other off, and despite her lust she held enough thought of the woman to give her all of that. She arched her back at that hand stroking down her back, her chest pressed all the more into the man she was next to.

Myra trembled against Rei-Kai for a moment and she heard him, felt that kiss to her eyes and they lifted upon him as he was moving off of her. She studied him quietly a moment before her hand raised to his cheek lightly, fingers touching him a moment before her head lifted and she brushed her lips against his a moment. She wanted more, or the chocolate had her wanting more, but she was also trying to be very careful before she was sliding away from him with his help and out of the pit.

Neko`Nightstalker rested with Naidra, he was content with his arms wrapped about her waist as he held that big lazy grin. His tail wrapped about Naidra as he kissed her shoulder.

"Good thing I didn't win. We would be here all night." he said as he purred.

Stormbringer looked around at the girls who surrounded him, Laerel, Bennu and Tehya. Each had come into his life unexpectedly but with some impact and it seemed fate has made it so. It was good to see them all together though, and hoped they would all come to share the same closeness he felt with each one individually.

"It seems that Laerel has someone who needs company tonight," he says after a while.

"But that leaves Tehya and Bennu and a hot bath with plenty of room for three. I think it's getting time we all headed home."

Naidra giggled with her love as she let him hold her a bit longer before slipping from his lap. She had to give out the prizes still. She leaned down to kiss him passionately. "

"I have to give out the prizes love I will be in the shop."

She told him as she pulled back from his lips fixing her clothes. She whispered softly and cast clean on herself so she looked pristine once more and the chocolate that covered her was gone. Once done she walked to the shop and went to the counter to pull out the vouchers .

Rei-Kai felt her lips on his in that brief instant left him a bit wanting, but he had to let her go. It was that simple. After that, even as 'affected' as he was from all of this, and he stalked over to take up his pants and tie them about his waist to grant some modesty. Sharp gaze turned towards Tehya who had been eyeballing him quite often during all this. He just shrugged to with an indifferent look before heading over to collect his winnings.

Tehya gathered her things, and took one last look back at the chocolate and got up from her seat. The cloak she wore didn't have a speck of chocolate on it and the multi-colored patches glistened with snow. Her hair sparkled with sparkling snowflakes in it, and she readied to leave. A quick wave was given to Naidra if …if she could catch her eye, before she followed off with the group.

Garret tilted his head a little looking down at Saire her words just further evidence of her weakness, one he feared he had in common with her.

"And were it not for this chocolate... I doubt you would be saying such a thing... out loud at least." Words were paused between breaths, trying to even out before seeing Myra approach. He guided Saire back to his side then, still letting her lean against him to steady herself and keeping an arm around her waist but freeing up room for Myra there.

"Shall we go get what we have won... Mistress?"

Laerel took Eve's hand and stood whispering, "Shall we go?" and she smiled, looking to Stormbringer and Bennu before nodding to Tehya with a grin. "I believe it will be an interesting night." and she smiled lightly.

Naidra waved back at Tehya and whispered a message sent her way.

"You will have to come back sometime and try out our new sweets" she sent the message on its way and went back to putting the vouchers and money in piles for the winners.

Tehya she laughed hearing that message, and had a bit of havoc planned for the baker in the palace. She was sure she bought the sweets from there already, but if Tehya stocked the kitchen with treats maybe it would bring a confession from the baker.

Bennu heard Stormbringer declaring it was time to leave and she quickly stood, collecting her cloak, the one Eve had left unneeded now. She pulled it around her, chasing away the cold, happy to see Eve would be with them. She looked to Tehya, smiling hearing she would be with them tonight as well.

"Can I ride with you master, on your horse?" She asked softly, pressing into his side when he stood.

Neko`Nightstalker stood and settled himself. He nodded and would follow her.

"Think you can clean me up so I can help you without the chocolate taking effect again?" he asked her.

Eve blinked...and shook her head...looking at Laerel...before kissing her cheek.

"No, no...important Laerel sister spend time with Mountain and sisters...girl ok, go home, see Laerel and Bennu sister…and Miss Imperial Bard sister tomorrow."

 She would then lean down and kiss Bennu's ankle....tugging Laerel's cloak around her as she smiled.

"Girl have scent...is good. Laerel sister scent go with girl...come tomorrow." Her cheeks flushed with that charcoal heat again.

Stormbringer put an arm around Bennu and another one around Tehya, knowing Laerel needed to look after her friend.

"I do believe it can carry three," he told them with a grin. It would be an interesting night, he was sure

Laerel shook her head, whispering, "My Tura doesn't need me." and she smiled, taking Eve's hand, "I have need to talk to my sister, and he does not mind" and she smiled nodding to her.

"We can go."

It was a long way back home for everyone, some in the midst of the chocolate spell, and some tired and lonely for the arms that led them to their homes.

Then there was that sneaky bard that went off to her room to write in the journal of the wonderful chocolate event she attended.

Tehya
