{A Few Days Later}
"A-Arisa, come on! We need… we need to keep moving!"
Despite her protests, Arisa's tongue continued making broad strokes over Liri's clit. At the same time, her right hand kept Liri's cock occupied, all while Liri struggled to contain her moans, pressing her back harder and harder into the bark of the tree behind her.
"Just a second," Arisa responded. "I have been craving a taste for a while now~"
It hadn't been too long since they left Arisa's tribe. Now, on the way to Diosia, ever since they went past *the line* just before leaving, Arisa had been more lustful than ever.
Liri, of course, didn't mind too much, as she felt the same way. But she worried that if they kept this up the two of them might just never get to the elven town.
"You truly are delicious, you know that?"
It was embarrassing being praised like this, but Liri's pussy grew wetter with every minor compliment she received. It almost made Liri wonder if she'd received so little kindness in her previous life that it made it so that she grew a praise kink.
That was almost sad to think about, honestly.
[Ohhh… Why is she so good at this!?]
With birds chirping in the background and the midday sun kissing Liri's skin, the feeling of having this goddess of a woman between her legs, licking away at her, felt even more satisfactory. Like the fact that it was such a beautiful day was spurring Arisa to move that tongue of hers even faster.
Before long, Arisa took her mouth off Liri's pussy and instead covered her cock with it. Wrapping her lips around the tip, Liri's toes curls until, finally…
"I-I'm gonna…!"
She tried to issue the other woman a warning, but, well, she was a bit late.
"Mm!"
Arisa's eyes widened as Liri came into her mouth. She coughed once and then sunk deeper, swallowing more of Liri's modest length.
The explosion of satisfaction Liri felt came in waves, pushing once, twice, and then a third time before she finally settled down.
Liri heard Arisa gulping down what had just been pumped into her throat, a sound so lewd it caused her dick to pulsate one more time.
When the drasen was done, she pulled her lips off with a "pop", smiling back at Liri with a closed mouth as she swallowed the last of it.
"This taste is so interesting," Arisa began to say.
"You mean my… cum?"
"Indeed," Arisa nodded. "It is better. Much better, actually. I fear I could get addicted to it," she stated with a giggle.
[I might get addicted to this too… I can barely think straight.]
"W-We should keep going."
"Did you not enjoy it?" Arisa asked, tilting her head. "I could have sworn my skills were decent, but…"
"N-No! I did, I did, it's just… I'm eager to see Diosia."
"Ah, I understand. But," Arisa reached up and caressed Liri's cheek. "It is okay to take things slowly. We have time."
"Do we?" Liri asked as she stood up and dusted some dirt off her butt. "I mean," she inhaled, trying to catch her breath, "what if more people die while we're… doing this."
"Liri," Arisa reached over, looking down into Liri's eyes as she held onto the ven's shoulders. "You said so yourself that in your current state, you cannot fight back against this threat. If that does happen, unfortunately, there is not much you or I could do about it right now. Of course, we will work on that but, for now, just take things easy."
Her words worked to steady Liri's racing mind. The ven nodded slowly, prompting Arisa to smile a little. She bent over and kissed Liri's forehead.
"Now, you had said you wanted to head somewhere first?"
"Oh, uhm, right," Liri responded, pointing to the west. "I think there's a Mother Tree nearby. One of… my magic told me so."
"A Mother Tree?" Arisa asked, confused.
[Ah, right. I haven't explained this to her yet.]
Now that the mood had completely shifted, Liri's tone grew firmer.
"What humanity is doing goes beyond just killing ven and drasen," Liri said. "Although, obviously, that's the worst part. There are these things called Mother Trees that, uhm, essentially supply the world with energy."
"The world? In its entirety?" Arisa asked, shocked.
"Yeah, the earth. Nature." Liri responded as she walked ahead. She rolled up the piece of the map she'd ripped off that they were using to make it to Diosia and she passed it to Arisa. "They're… They're special. Very special. It was my kind's duty to look after them, but, ever since humans started doing all of this, we've had a hard time with that. I decided I wanted to help with it so, yeah. I want to reach as many Mother Trees as I can, while I learn about humanity."
Arisa took her words in as Liri turned back toward the front.
Then, suddenly, the ven felt the woman's arms snake around her chest.
She inhaled sharply as Arisa hugged her.
"I am truly glad to have met someone like you. You may keep denying that you are an angel, but you certainly do not have me fooled."
"I'm not…" Liri protested in futility. "A-Anyway, yeah, it should be right over here…"
Liri followed the Mother Tree's call using her Mantra. It did not take too long before they reached it. The scene before them was something Liri had seen before, but she still felt sad upon taking it in. Dead trees, vegetation that had been fully drained of its energy, and an overall oppressive atmosphere.
"What happened here?" Arisa asked, looking around. "It all looks… burnt."
"Like I said. We're not the only things humans want to kill."
Having said that, Liri walked forward, drawing closer to the Mother Tree ahead.
Liri steadied herself, closing her eyes as she remembered the words for the Mantra "Activation".
"Orma no candor, mes narin no canbel, ist tora conaitra."
Liri placed her hands on the Mother Tree while Arisa stood a few feet away from her.
Placing her forehead against it, Liri felt the siphoning of energy beginning. The divine energy inside of her shifted, moving up from Liri's core, through her arms, and injecting itself into the tree.
The area around her grew brighter and brighter until Arisa said:
"L-Liri!"
The ven was too focused, however. The process continued for a while before she could finally say it was done.
She felt drained as she stepped away, taking her hands off the tree. But, the feeling she got from seeing the area around her having regained its splendor was what made it all feel so worth it.
"Hahh…" Liri let out a satisfied sigh. "There! That's what…"
As she turned toward Arisa, she found the drasen looking back at her with an expression Liri had never encountered before.
She had no experience with it.
She'd seen others receiving this look, at Elmira, on Earth, but she'd never been the subject of it.
Love. It was so clear to see that Liri was shaken by it. Chills went up her back as Arisa giggled.
[She wasn't lying about that "love at first sight" stuff, huh? I thought she was just attracted to me. Physically, and all. But...]
"That was incredible!"
"Yeah…" Liri responded, inhaling deeply. "Um… I'm done."
"I see." Arisa looked around, inspecting their surroundings. "I will be honest, if I had known you were going to do this, I probably would have held off on what I did until we got here."
That comment made Liri snort. She was happy to hear it, though, as it eased up some of the tension in her heart that she felt when she saw Arisa giving her that look.
"L-Let's keep going."
"Right. Lead the way, my angel~"
