Chapter 234: Never A Bad Opener {**}
A brief moment of silence passed as Evian eyed his talisman like he was wondering if Astrid's voice would come out of it and tell him she had been pulling his leg.
"How am I supposed to get this 'Holy Water'?" He eventually asked.
"Well, as far as I have heard, as Holy as it is, the holy water can be contained by any material but you should get something appropriate. We're talking about precious cargo here, after all…"
"That's not what I was talking about. This 'Holy Spring' is important to our Arcane Church is it not?" Evian asked with a frown.
"Very," Astrid said and Evian could hear her nod her head, "It holds more value to the Church than even their most Holy Artifacts of which they have many."
"And how am I supposed to get it?"
"You can't do it?" Astrid asked.
Evian's brows furrowed even harder than they already had and he spoke slowly,
"Maybe, Maybe not but that's really the point."
"Then what's the point?"
"The Arcane Church has wanted you for years. They still want you. Why not ask for the water as a price for you joining the Church?"
Evian had no doubt she would not find it hard to be appointed to an Office within the Church at which point the Holy Water, as she had already said, would be used in her appointment. As an Asset the Arcane Church had desired to have their hands on for years, it would not even be difficult for Astrid to become a Cardinal if she so wished so why would theft be her default move?
Astrid let out a sigh as though she was disappointed that Evian would ask such a shallow question,
"Because, Evian, the Church won't simply accept my word for it and I would have to swear a binding vow that would have me follow through with my promise."
"Would it be so bad to join the church?" Evian asked with a smirk that he knew Astrid would be able to detect and she replied to him with a shudder,
"The very thought of communing with those Spell-spouters. They would have me forgo the way of the Sword. The absolute travesty that would be to my… No… No, Please, Evian, do not let me even think of it."
"Alright then. So about the water…"
"Yes, yes, I need it. As much as I dislike the Arcanists and their ways, they do have incredible ways to foster the improvement of Spiritual Energy but I will not compromise my solid Martial foundations for them.
Which is where you come in."
Evian sighed and then slowly said,
"Fine, I'll try but I make no promises."
"Splendid. knowing you and your sneaky ways, I'll just consider the Water mine then," Astrid said and clapped her hands happily.
Evian rolled his eyes at what he saw as an obvious attempt to stoke his ego.
"I saw that," Astrid said, still sounding gleeful, "And to think I was going to have you only do reconnaissance because of your limited time at Sacrosanct.
Terrible thing those attacks but at least it gives you time to get me what I want.
If you do succeed, I can assure you, that you WILL be rewarded. Now hop to it. It can't be easy to come up with ways to get to the water so you might as well Get. To. It."
The communication cut off after that and Evian sent the Talisman back into his spatial ring while he let out a sigh at what he considered a complication but also a challenge majorly depending on how he looked at it. Experience more on m v|l -NovelFire.net
Anyway, he returned to what he had been in the midst of before the interruption. In his mind, Evian arrived at a space that was dense with darkness that only emboldened him, and with a small mental indication, he was transported to his Mental Valley.
There, within that Valley, Evian called forth his command of the space and created a Grimoire that gave off a suction force with the desire to absorb knowledge.
Evian then let out all the spells he knew and they were all represented by their Spell Circles which began to separate into individual symbols that the Grimoire absorbed with its suction causing them all to be imprinted on its pages to be perused at Evian's slightest request.
In the hours that passed after that, Evian tried to force seals of different Decadent levels to mix in hopes of covering for information his Compendium currently lacked.
There was obvious repulsion but there was also some attraction so it was a delicate balance that could and was always ruined by even the slightest repulsion which caused Evian to restart processes more often than not but through it all, Evian did not lose his smile because he truly believed he was on to something.
Alas, he had to eventually take a break. Pulling his Eldritch energy back into his body and erasing all feeling of it from an incoming Arcanist's senses.
The door to the bath opened and Aren walked in looking almost believed to find Evian soaking there as though she had expected he would already be gone and smiled with the memories of the night all too clear in her mind.
"Morning," Aren said as she waded into the water and swam the little distance between her and Evian to wrap her arms around his neck to pull his face closer while staring into his eyes.
"Thank you," she said earnestly.
"Gratitude?" Evian said with an eyebrow raised, "Never a bad choice for an opener."
Aren closed the distance between their faces then and pressed their lips together while pressing her body hard against his. Her breasts gleamed with the lubrication of the bath water as her nipples began to graze against Evian's muscular chest.
The sensations caused by her hard nipples grazing against the hard surface that was Evian's chest caused every part of Aren's body to tingle as she used her arms around Evian's body to lift herself and wrap her legs around his body with his hardening cock right beneath her ass and flexing occasionally to smack against the ample flesh of her backside.
Evian grabbed onto her body and did nothing particularly noteworthy besides the expert use of his tongue. At least at first.
His tongue licked at Aren's lips and she pulled it apart immediately to allow his tongue to make entry and enhance in a hearty battle with hers, manipulating it all about while it licked all about the insides of her mouth and only then did Evian begin moving his hands.
He rubbed all over Aren's body. Feeling the suppleness of the skin of her back even as he went to the small of it right before the arch of her ass that remained prominent despite her position of being wrapped around him.
Aren pulled her lips away from his. Her entire body craved the sensation that she had enjoyed all night long as she pushed her face into the side of his neck and suckled on the skin of it. His scent alone made the bath water smell even more heavenly and all of Aren's kisses and licks were just to be close to indulge in that sweet wonder.
Meanwhile, Evian's cock got harder by the second until Aren herself decided it was about time for it to return to where she believed it belonged.
"~Ahnn…~" Aren started with a groan on Evian's first entry but she muffled the sound by pressing her face once again into the side of his neck. As more inches made their way into her snatch, Aren pulled back and grabbed Evian's lips again.
Meanwhile, Evian kept his hands on her hips as he took more action. He thrust upward in jerks just to make his entry more impactful to which Aren always groaned with delight and no matter how full she felt, she desired more.
She gyrated in all manner of directions until every inch of Evian's cock was lodged deep inside and then the thrusts began with impactful smacks that disturbed the water body they were in with interesting water splashes that added to the atmosphere.

"~Yes! Yes! YESSSS!!!~"
With her mouth off Evian's, Aren let her moans out in breaths that caught in the back of her throat as her body began to spasm in a climax she had no hope of keeping away and when it struck with its mighty intensity, she found herself melting into Evian's arms with her body radiating joy when he held on to her and cradled her against his body with a gentleness that caused butterflies to flutter in her stomach.
The feeling remained even when Evian pulled himself free of her and turned them around until she was facing the rim of the bath. It remained when her hands were positioned against the rim and she gripped it almost on reflex.
It remained and got even more intense when Evian's hips entered her followed quickly by the rest of his mighty rod, smacking his groin against her ass and causing the flesh of it to tremble and transfer even more pleasure all over her body.
With a grin, Aren gripped the bath's rim even more tightly and got ready for the pounding of her lifetime.
