“Jack, if you are done being obstinate, I have yet to drink of the Goddess,” I said. I wanted to stay all day and caress Jack, tease him, fuck him, but this was neither the time or place. I don’t know why, but I still felt responsible to the kingdom; my kingdom.
“Seriously, I almost die, and you want to sip that shit?” Jack asked incredulously. I couldn’t help but smile, as severe as he was in training and a fight, he had a penchant for the dramatic.
“Maybe you should think about that next time before running in to recklessly save my life,” I said, my words a warning for him not to interfere. Jack didn’t reply, but his look told me he was not happy with the situation either.
“Mother, I am ready to drink of the Goddess and learn,” I said as politely as possible.
“Disrobe, Daughter of the Moon,” the Oracle said, and I obeyed. “We all come into this world naked, and so in the same way we visit the Goddess.”
“Yes, Mother,” I replied. I stripped my clothes off and handed them to Jack, who tossed them into a pile. “You can fold them.”
“I could,” was all Jack said in reply, but he did not fold them up. I could tell today was going to be a grumpy day for Jack. Standing in front of the altar naked, I waited for further instructions. The Oracle walked to the wall and from a niche removed a jewel encrusted silver chalice.
“Drink,” she instructed handing me the vessel. I looked at the cup to see the void within fill with the luminescent fluid of the moon.
“If we are Daughters of the Moon, then why do we not do this at night?” I asked curiously.
“It is always night in the Temple of the Goddess,” the Oracle answered and with a wave of her hand the ceiling illuminated to show another arc of moons. One moon, full and brilliant, illuminated, shining brightly down upon us.
I drank with the intention of draining the entire cup, but as I swallowed the bright light, more fluid continued to pour into my mouth. I gulped more and more, but the juice continued to flow. The luminescent drink tasted of power, the wind and clouds. The warmth of a full moon flooded me. I felt more alive than ever before.
“Nokomis, try as you might no one can drink in all the power of the Goddess,” the Oracle warned, but I defied her words of wisdom and continued to drink. The liquid filled my stomach to its capacity, and I could feel my skin glowing.
“Listen to her,” Jack warned, but I was in ecstasy and ignored his words. Tipping the cup back, I let the juice flow out into my mouth. When I could no longer swallow the waters of the Goddess’s power, they overflowed my lips and bathed me.
“Let her go,” I heard the Oracle say in the distance and knew without seeing that she had stopped Jack from interfering.
I continued to take from the chalice and felt light as if I was riding upon a beam of moonlight. The cup poured all of its contents into me, and I felt the chalice itself dissolve into liquid silver and coat my lips and body.Lightning struck from above, and I devoured its energy as well. I soaked in all the life of the night and continued to rise into the light of the moon.
“Welcome daughter,” my Mother called to me, and she enfolded me within her radiant arms.
“Mother,” I cried in joy, “I have missed you so much.”
“And I have missed you for so long. Welcome home my sweet, hold me and know that I love you,” she spoke, and I felt at peace.
“Come, daughter,” another voice, masculine and terrible, spoke, but I was unafraid. The Voidman, dark and unending, embraced me as well. I remained for an eternity in the embrace of my mother and father and was at peace. Then I remembered something of my human presence and a small part of me was alone.
“Mother, Father I love you so much, but I must return,” I said and knew that they had already known my words were true.
“His love for you is strong, Nokomis. He has drank of your mother, and in my rage, I sought to destroy him. Your mother saved him for your sake. Now, for his sake bring him into the light Nokomis,” the Voidman’s words fell upon me, and I felt fear for Jack.
“I will bring him and my kingdom into the night,” I promised.
“Nokomis, do not forget the day. Neither of us can live without the day and without the evening, the day would burn into non-existence. We are cosmic forces of balance, restore the balance.” Mother’s words were soft and caressed me, yet filled me with purpose. I sank back to earth and fell into my body.
“Jack,” I whispered, “You angered the Voidman when you stole the essence of my mother, but you have also been forgiven.”
“Nokomis,” Jack whispered, and in his eyes, I saw myself changed. I also saw his love and his need for me. I stepped back and lifted myself onto the altar. The Oracle wavered and disappeared.
“Jack, come to me,” I said seductively and enticed him.
“Here in this place?” Jack asked surprised.
“Yes, here in this place Jack. Do you not want to consummate our love?” I asked and spread before him.
“Consummate? As in marriage?” Jack asked curiously, and I nodded.
“That is the only way you can ever have me again,” I whispered. I looked into his eyes and knew he loved me.
Jack came to me and embraced me powerfully. Our lips locked and we met in a long kiss. My lips parted, and I allowed his tongue into my mouth. We held each other and kissed, our tongues taking turns to tease and pleasure the other. Jack climbed the altar and was over me.
I moaned in ecstasy and wrapped my fingers in his hair guiding him lower. I sucked in my breath as the shock of his lips came across my belly and then traveled lower. I wanted him so badly, but when he set fire to my loins with a kiss, the sensations almost made me flee. His hands gripped my butt and pushed his face deeper into my folds.
I rocked with pleasure as his tongue danced within me. He tasted the juices that emanated from my slit and lapped at my clit. I came violently and passionately. As Jack’s tongue pleasured me into another orgasm, I came a second time upon the altar.
“You are mine Nokomis, Daughter of the Moon and Voidman. You belong to no other,” Jack spoke, and his voice was empowered fulfilling an ancient prophecy that neither of us had known. With his words he penetrated into me, filling my deep need for him.
“I am yours,” I whispered in return “and no other’s.” Jack drove into me with slow, powerful thrusts. The desire for each other was granting our love making an incredible power, our lust driving us faster.
I gripped his shoulders as he thrust into me and I began to feel another orgasm build within me. I rolled us over and slid down onto his manhood. His hands groped my breast, his fingers teasing my nipples. I let my head fall back as moans of ecstasy enveloped us. I rode him faster and harder, desperately trying to fill the need building inside of me.
Jack swelled inside of me and the dam released. His seed filled me and with a cry, which rang throughout the Temple of the Moon, our love culminated. He rolled me over onto my back again and withdrew from me. I let out a cry of desperation. We disappeared from the altar and reappeared in his bed.
Neither of us questioned the traveling from there to here. Jack flipped me onto my stomach and then pulled my hips up and drove into me again. His empowered phallus was reaching into my depths and drawing pleasure from every particle of my being. I screamed into the pillow and tore at his sheets. We reappeared back at the altar and my nipples pressed against the smooth moonstone. We moved to his couch in the apartments of the thieves’ guild, then to his bed, and then his other. The shifts in traveling coming faster and faster. All the while he thrust into me.
We were in the training hall, then my room, the parlor, and the kitchen. Then the altar in front of all the parishioners, and they gasped in shock. Then we moved to the cushions and back to the altar. The power was building all the while. Every moment we had ever held lust for each other was traveled and when I could handle no more we were back at the altar in private. My orgasm came in rushes like nothing I had ever experienced, and Jack came again over and over. His seed filled me and then overflowed.
Finally, he collapsed upon my heaving breast and lay still. I had no energy to remove him, and I wouldn’t have if I did. We lay together blanketed by the warmth of the moon.
“Jack,” I whispered into the night “I love you.”
“I love you too, Nokomis,” Jack replied, “I think I always have.”
“Will you help me save the kingdom?” I asked, “my kingdom.”
“You know I will,” Jack answered, “Although I don’t think it will be as easy as slaying one cleric.”
“Neither do I,” I agreed. We lay there until our bodies grew sore from the exercise of our love making and not stretching. We both were sticky from our love making, and I wanted to bath.
“Jack, can you take us home?” I asked. I saw in Jack a moment of hesitation and then he closed his eyes, concentrating. The blackness of the void enveloped us and then we stepped back into the world. The room was dark but nothing compared to the darkness of the void. Jack moved from me and hopped off the bed and lit a candle. We were home.
“That will be a useful trick in the days to come,” Jack said cheerfully and playfully. I closed my eyes and tried to step into the void, but I met with an invisible force like a wall.
“Why can I not do it?’ I questioned Jack, He popped into existence at my side.
“Because I am of the void, and you the moon. Try something else.”
“Like what?” I asked and thought of when I drank from the chalice. I began to lift, leaving the bed behind. Hovering, I flew slowly from the bed to the door, then to the wash basin.
“Give you a broom, and you’re a proper witch,” Jack chuckled. I grimaced at his face, the candle throwing shadows against the wall. I focused on the light of the moon, and the room began to glow a bright blue.
“Maybe we should go back to the Temple and seek teachers,” I suggested, and Jack nodded.
“Right after a bath,” Jack said, and I could not agree more.
We returned to the Temple of the Moon to see the Oracle. She told us that the powers of the Moonlites are varied and include everything from healing, light, flying, searing beams, transformation, and a rare and unique ability called the Inner Tide. Voidmen have various skills tied to traveling between spaces, jumping between shadows, and summoning spirits who have left this plane of existence. Unfortunately, all the abilities we could or might have, would have to come naturally to us.
