Chapter 179
-Opal’s Eidolon bodies-
There is a lot of loud croaking, and I realize Amber probably can’t understand what they’re saying. So I tell her “They’re just excited to finally be back to the lake wife. Apparently someone at the head of the group spotted the walls.” It seems we finally made it with the group of frogmen kids. She responds “They’re very loud, but I guess I can understand their excitement. That means we should be really close to home too once we drop them off.” I nod, knowing that Amber is excited to do other stuff with her second body.
She’s been spending a lot of time with Marble’s friends during the days, but hasn’t managed to get a decent special class yet. With two bodies getting her points, the tries should come quicker for her. She was a bit sad that she didn’t have any good skills for tracking. I offered to let her ride on one of the larger hounds as we search the area for hidden camps and dens, but she wanted to be useful and not just ride along. The only reason my hellbitch body is useful is because I can smell slightly better than the hounds in the pack. Sapphire said it would be useful at least, but all I’ve found is some bad smelling water and rocks.
I’m not traveling with the pack, since that would be a waste of time. Instead Sapphire gives me areas to search for the day, and I return at night. That way I can help her reward the hounds for working hard during the day. If more people were immune to the hound addiction it would be easier on us, but Cindy is worried there might be lingering effects to addiction even after the magical stuff is cleared out by my milk. I would invite Amber to help out with the hounds, but we don’t bring them into the Citadel, so she wouldn’t get the double free points from them.
We continued walking while the frogmen kids are being noisy and I can finally see the walls past the trees. They don’t look like the fancy walls of my Citadel, but there weren’t any walls at all last time I was here. It’s probably an improvement. I hope they got better houses, I remember all they had were those little huts before. Oh, they’re all jumping over the wall now. I don’t see a gate so I guess it makes sense. With how low it is, even Amber should be able to make it over fine. She doesn’t have any jumping skills like I do, but she’s 9th tier and Players seem to be able to jump a little higher each tier.
My little body and my wife stand outside the walls, while my tiny body rides in her breasts. “Do we just jump over too?” She asks, and I answer “Probably.” I can hear lots of happy croaking from the other side and it’s not like they could accidentally hurt us if we surprised them by showing up. I jump up onto the wall first with my older Eidolon body. What I see on the other side is surprising.
“Oh wow, it’s beautiful. Do they all live in the lake?” Amber asks and I shake my head, pointing to the small huts. There are more of them now, but this place is almost exactly like how I left it last time. More frogmen, more huts and a wall. I guess they don’t really care about changing it. They probably haven’t tried a fluffy bed before. I know I wouldn’t mind living here if my family came along, but everyone else would complain and add stuff to make it better. I do prefer Opal’s Home by a lot though. It’s more comfortable. Maybe it’s because when you snuggle on a bed, bodies kind of move towards you on their own, so everyone gets more cozy.
I hear a really loud croak, and the other croaks die down followed by a large frogman saying “To all of the returned children! We will have your adult ceremony tonight with those freshly grown. It is good to see you all alive and ready to spread our color once more. Whether your instincts tell you to go or stay, you will be an adult before the light of dawn tomorrow. For now, go to the lake for food and try not to make your celebrations too loud. Noise can draw more of the dead ones.” Is this frogman some sort of authority then? I can tell he has Firm, but it seems to be less rare in the frogmen now and I can see quite a few with the skill. Probably.
The only frogman with the skill before was Chief, so I’m using how he looked as a basis and I could be wrong. I don’t see where my frogman daughter went. I’ll just have to talk to the big loud frog then. I can’t tell from his facial expressions, but his hand hovering over his sword probably means he’s wary of us. As Amber follows me up to him, I smile and say “Hi, we found these kids enslaved and decided to return them here. Do you know where Chief is?” He answers while eyeing us “I am Chief, but perhaps you mean my father. What business do you have here. The children are already returned.”
Well, I wasn’t planning on staying long, but I answer “I just wanted to visit with my son and his siblings a bit. If you know where Chair or Guard are I could probably just ask them instead.” He gives me another look and says “You look small to be the Great White Mother, but I can take you to my mate, and she can sort you out.” I smile and do a little wiggle, to which the frogman’s eyes widen. “You are very skilled at the seduction shake for someone so small. Sadly I must turn down your offer as my mate has bared me from mating with others. Come.” He says, and I’m a bit confused since I just wiggled.
After a short walk I spot the guard stand I put up next to lake so long ago. On top is a familiar frogman, so I run up to her and give her a little hug. Guard pushes me off and I let her, wiggling a lot. She says “Why are you trying to seduce me small human? I am a female and cannot get you pregnant.” I answer “Sweetie it’s me Opal. This is just a different body than you saw me with last.” I then strip off my clothes and wiggle at her again. I hear from behind me “You cannot seduce my wife small human without fighting me first.” It sounds like an angry croak, but my frogman daughter croaks silencing him.
“This is my mother fool. Do you not see her perfect color?” She hisses and I hug her again. This time she doesn’t push me away, and instead pats my little head. I say “It’s good to see you sweetie, do you know where your bothers and sisters are while I’m here so I can say hi to them too?” she responds “It is emboldening to see your form once more as well mother. Even if you are smaller, I can tell you still have great power.” I wiggle more at her praise and notice Amber picking up my clothes. My frogman daughter continues “As for my brothers and sisters, Chair is my only brother who remains near the lake. The others have moved away, including my ex-mate, the one you knew as Chief. My sisters remain and should be preparing for the adulting ceremony for those who returned.”
I guess that means I won’t see Chief today. I remember Tina telling me the gossip about Guard getting a new mate since Chief wasn’t making enough spawn. Oh well, I can at least see my daughters and Chair. Tina already returned and is waiting for a ride to Barrier with Citrine, so she isn’t here either. I guess she didn’t build any obvious structures on her short return trip to fill Chair in on her extended vacation.
I see Guard looking at Amber and tell her “This is your sister Amber. She’s my wife, or what you would call my mate. Amber, this is Guard, one of my first daughters ever. She could have been the first, but it’s hard to tell with how many come out at once.” Amber waves and says “Hi big sis.” Guard then responds “I can see that she is much like you mother, and if she’s your mate she must be very strong. It is a great moment to meet you mate of mother and younger sister. If I may ask, does your race have females with penises?” Amber seems surprised and stammers a bit before chuckling and responding “No, but mom can get pregnant from women now so it’s not needed.”
“You must fight me if you wish to do such a thing with my mate.” The large frogman from before interrupts us. I turn and tell him “I can’t mate with other people using this body, so I wasn’t planning on it. I’ll remember if I decide to come down with a different body some time.” He seems content with my answer and my frogman daughter says “She would crush you to paste my mate. While it is tempting to try, I only wish to give birth to strong spawn myself. Can you get others pregnant as well mother?” I shake my head in the negative and she continues “Well there you have it. Chair will possibly be with my sisters preparing for the ceremony.”
She then gives us some directions and we head that way. She didn’t seem very interested in gossiping with us, but I guess she was probably busy keeping an eye out for the zombies. The guard stand is the only place around the lake tall enough for you to see over the walls. As we get to the slightly larger hut, I hear croaks from inside. It doesn’t have a door, so I walk in and see Chair having sex with one of his sisters. She’s the one who was with the enslaved frogmen kids. I can see my other daughters there too and wave to them. It would be rude to interrupt Chair’s sex.
“Did brother fuck me hard enough to cause head damage? Why do I see a small mom?” One of them notices me and asks. My other daughters turn and see me too, so I walk around the pair having sex and stand by them. “Hi sweeties, I know this body is small, but it’s me Opal. Guard said you would all be here, so I stopped by to say hi.” They all get up and surround me then, touching me all over. One of them says “Mom, you look different being so small. Can you teach me how to do that?” Another one says she wants to know too, but I have to inform them that It’s not teachable, I just have more than one body now.
After explaining and introducing them to Amber, Chair seems to finish with his sister. He notices me when pulling out, and immediately gets on his hands and knees. “Mother, why are you so small?” He asks and I explain to him. I of course sit on his back, since it would be rude not too. Amber joins me and comments “You really are very comfortable brother Chair.” He seems pleased with the compliment, and my daughters start to tell me what’s going on.
Apparently, for the adulting ceremony, Chair has sex with these 5 sisters once each. The more of them that get pregnant, the more luck the new adults will have in life. It seems interesting, but I wonder how much of a boost it gives? Is luck even a stat? Maybe it’s like Fertility and just doesn’t show up on my Status screen.
We end up staying to hear gossip for a couple hours while Chair has sex with the rest of them. He said he would rather be sat on, but when he suggested I sit on his back while he had sex, his sisters scolded him for being rude to them. I’m not sure I’d be able to anyway, since Citrine might consider it as me participating and I can’t ask her right now. I suppose if they hadn’t complained I could just sit on him with my tiny body, but I know he likes the weight, and my tiny body hardly weighs anything.
“I think you should bring Sapphire here some time wife.” Amber says as we leave the hut, having finished our chatting with Chair and my frogmen daughters. I nod and respond “She might have fun, but the frogmen are probably too clean and nice for her. I can always offer I guess.” I remember something and tell her “You should go in the lake with me. It’s really pretty down there.” She smiles and agrees so we change our course to the lake. There, she puts down my clothes and starts taking her own off. I have to help her a bit to get her shirt past her horns. She forgot she had them again and it snagged. My tiny body is going to keep watch of the clothes for us.
We end our trip with a walk on the bottom of the lake. She can hold her breath for a really long time, and just holds onto me to keep from floating. It really is peaceful down here, and watching the fish swim by brings back memories of when I was here last. I point out an (Opal Fish) and she chases it a bit, but gives up since she’s not a very good swimmer. I should have visited sooner just for that sight of my wife alone. Oh, this is probably one of those date things.
When she swims back to me, I give her a big kiss with my little body. Citrine said kisses are fine, and my wife looked so cute chasing the little fish. Today is turning out to be pretty great so far.
