Sorry, only one chapter this week, too. I got sick and ended up worse than I expected, just yesterday they injected me with something to recover, I'll try to resume my normal rhythm next week.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was naked, riding Elise around the camp, planning our next target while talking about certain topics.
"Are you sure about this? I already told you how I am and we don't need to get to that" I asked Elise now that we talked about ourselves.
"I know it's weird and I'm not sure if I'd ever like it but I'm also curious what it would be like. You've shown me a whole new world, even though it goes against many things that are right... I want to see it, I want us to let's try it. I've never had a mate and would like to know how it would be"(Elise)
"Even if that mate is me"(Red)
"Yes, I trust you more than anyone I've ever met, you're a good male in many ways despite not being a unicorn, and with you I feel like everything is new, I think we can try... but I'm still with the idea of not having babies, and mating with you still makes me a bit nervous, I'd like to wait for that if possible"(Elise)
"hahaha, don't worry, I won't pressure you, it makes me a little uncomfortable too. Your aesthetic, although beautiful, is nothing similar to what I'm used to, and it's not that I wouldn't do it if you wanted... but I also need time to get used to the idea" (Red)
"We're the same then"(Elise)
"And the children's ones too, I don't want to have children so soon, and I don't think it's possible for us anyway"(Red)
"Fine" she said with a small movement of emotion, seeing that we hit it off.
"… Could you stop moving like that, you tickle my balls"(Red)
"ohh... In this way?" She said mockingly, moving more pronouncedly.
"Hey, don't provoke the beast because you'll make me take back my previous words"(Red)
"Seriously... Weren't you too young for that?" She continued to tease. After we set the record straight and the initial embarrassment passed, the awkwardness disappeared, and these things seemed even funny.
"Humm... you asked for it" I said as I took out a polished branch from my inventory that I had prepared for some rituals and gave her a hard smack on the butt that made her scream.
We went on like this for a while, with her jumping from one side to the other and me continuously spanking her butt, until we ended up lying on the ground, tired. She was sobbing from her sore bottom and ended up biting me on her shoulder, showing her anger...but I bit her too because those jumps hurt significant parts too.
...
We had decided to learn from each other about the characteristics of our own species in case things continue to develop in that direction, and all I can say about that is that it was...funny.
I heard about the customs between pairs from her, we even went together with his pack to talk to the other unicorns. It was as expected, when they saw me ride her, the stampede came towards me, but we managed to calm them down, anyway, I never got off Elise at any time.
They didn't like us and said a lot of things to us, but we were firm, without being too abusive. We try to at least be accepted at the minimum, but they still complained that Elise ran away with me. In the end, we had to flee the place, but we didn't give up, this was proof for the future.
On the other hand, Elise curiously asked about some of the shallower sexual activities that humans often use. I pulled out some of the magazines I hadn't been able to give Myrtle yet and showed them to her. Her expressions, or rather the feelings that our connection conveyed, were very humorous. She didn't understand how we could do so many things in something as simple as reproducing.
She wanted to try some simple things to see if she could adapt, so we went with something easy, and what we got was... Elise with a rope tying her body together, that if it were to be more humanoid it would look more erotic. She complained that the rope was uncomfortable and she didn't understand if she was doing it right. To complete it I managed to suspend her in the air, without her reaching the ground, and the image only became funnier and her confusion greater.
...
In the middle of the forest, we were taking a break to eat something. We had just left the periphery of the acromantula's territory after killing some and keeping their bodies in my inventory to get some items and sell the rest to the trader.
"I think we should go to the centaur camp"(Red)
"Now?"(Elise)
"Yes, we have put it off for too long, but now I think I am strong enough that we can escape if they do not receive us well. It would be good to see how it goes, besides having a good relationship with them can make many things easier for us here in the forest and increase our range"(Red)
"Okay" (Elise)
We finished eating and headed to the centaur camp, but halfway there Elise suddenly stopped and I activated my [Life sense] to detect some beings that were approaching us.
We heard heavy footsteps along with the barking of a dog and we got into an attack position while I took out a sword that I bought from the merchant, it was light but sharp and had helped us a lot. The other party also seemed to notice us and stopped not far away, letting both sides see each other.
Elise and I saw a big, bearded man with a crossbow on his back, accompanied by a black dog that seemed to want to run and hide. It was clear that it was Hagrid. The half-giant was giving one of his usual patrols and he had been able to notice the distinctive shine of the unicorns, so he approached to see it.
On the other hand, Hagrid had seen a most unusual scene. There was a unicorn just as he had expected, but on it was a naked boy with red eyes and long, messy hair of the same color. This image was strange enough to stun him long enough for me and Elise let's get out of the place before he had time to catch up.
Hagrid was very confused, he could not associate any species with my appearance that get along with unicorns, the other option is that be like him, a semi-human, but that made it weirder since by my appearance it should still be a child in his opinion. Something came to his mind that his arachnid friend had told him, about his children being hunted, and he managed to relate we us, but by the time he realized we had already disappeared.
...
We ran away from the place, as I didn't want to associate with anyone at my current age. I hoped this hadn't given us away, and I was glad we were away from our camp. From now on we had to be more careful and our need to communicate with the centaurs was greater.
We followed the agreed path and arrived at the territory of the centaurs, we were somewhat tense upon arrival, it would not necessarily be like the previous time. We weren't stopped by the patrols until we were pretty close to their camp and got the same look as Hagrid.
The town was alerted and more and more centaurs came out of their houses, by the time we knew we had a semicircle of centaurs in front of us who looked at us with astonishment, doubt, and caution.
We didn't want to make any sudden moves to avoid any misunderstandings, so we waited for them to speak first. A large centaur with several grays in his hair stepped forward, he seemed imposing with his size and body language, but he also gave off a certain sense of kindness and tranquility.
"Who is coming?" The current leader of the centaurs asked.
"Red and Elise... I am Red and she is Elise"
"Why do you come to our camp? If you wish to pass beyond this place, you can surround it by the eastern river"
"We come looking for you, particularly" When I said these words, most of the centaurs held their bows more firmly and the mothers put their children into their tents "Do not misunderstand, we come in peace, our camp is quite far to the northeast. We knew of you and we wanted to reach a pacific agreement to be able to go through these places without problems and maybe to some barters" (Red)
"Us..."
"I can have my partner as a guarantee that we are not malicious" I said while patting Elise "We don't look for problems with those who don't provoke us. The acromantulas for example, kept us in a very difficult situation for years and now we hunt them down"
There was a silence in the place, the murmurs of the centaurs were heard, but no one spoke too loudly. Their leader thought for a while, ignoring some of the words of the people around him.
"Okay" The great centaur agreed.
This surprised the centaurs a bit, and us that he agreed so quickly. We talk from a distance for a while longer before we turn around and go back.
We don't plan to do much more here today so as not to push too hard, next time we'll come with some things to trade. For the first time, it was fine.
...
During the following time, we came up to twice a week with some gifts and resources to barter. What we got was mainly some of his predictions, medicines, or knowledge.
From what we learned, they long ago predicted that 'order and chaos had settled in this forest' and now linked it to us. They found out about our activities and updated their mental map of the forest a bit by adding our camp. Being allies, we promised to help each other in case one of the sides was on the other's land.
Although not everyone liked us at first, we earned the people's appreciation. I may be on the evil side, but my age and closeness to Elise let them accept me, only they still wouldn't let the kids stay alone with me. Even with that, I have discovered that some seemed to have noticed that my relationship with Elise was closer than usual and the confusion about us was growing more, especially that of a young centauride.
We met a certain young centaur woman who made us curious, her name was Marrill and she was very intense. She wasn't afraid of anything and she didn't back away from us like the others at first. She couldn't understand how I and Elise got along, we were complete opposites, and when she found out that our relationship was more than it seemed she almost went crazy.
She was hoping it was just a front and that we hated each other, but she saw us in secret and found nothing to prove it. In a centaur training exercise, Elise and I participated demonstrating perfect coordination and how well we complemented each other, leaving her even more surprised.
In the end, we ended up getting along pretty well, it was very different from her future, but it was still pretty nice. Knowing that she liked herbology and healing, we collaborated with her by teaching her some things and giving her some exotic plants. She had a hard time accepting that we get along and, even more so, that we were almost a couple, but she took it as a lesson and since then she has asked about us in a more personal way, trying to understand and learn about us.
After gaining some favor from the camp, we started using [fast travel] to get back and forth more easily, which we used at one point when we had to leave as we heard that Hagrid had come to ask about us. We asked them to keep us a secret and we left. We would wait awhile before going back, and our trades would go through Marrill.
...
"I plan to go to a human city"(Red)
"A city?" she asked curiously.
"Yes, I want to see if I can find someone"(Red)
"Anyone you know?"(Elise)
"Not really, but I hope to do it if possible" (Red)
"Is she a girl?" (Elise)
"Yes" I answered, already feeling that the aura in her changed.
"Hmmm" she only grumbled and turned her head away so as not to look at me.
"Are you angry?" I stupidly asked, even though I already felt her emotions.
"Yes" (Elise)
"Why? Are you...jealous?"(Red)
"I don't want you to find another girl, if you find someone who you can mate with without complications you will leave me" she explained and I could feel clear sadness and worry.
"Silly girl, that won't happen" I said caressing her body until I reached her head to turn her towards me and see her sad eyes "I won't leave you. You knew that my repertoire of couples was great, I hoped that you had already made up your mind "
"I can't get used to it, I'm afraid you'll leave me, I'm not like them and you don't like me as much as they do for that reason. That you have someone else that I don't like, when a unicorn finds her mate he stays alone with her until her death" (Elise)
"You know well that I am not a unicorn, I don't even behave as humans usually do. I know it can be difficult for you, but you have to accept it if you want our relationship to work and avoid suffering in the future, you have to accept that I will have more females"(Red)
"But I don't like it, I don't feel like it's okay..."(Elise)
"We said we'd try to make this work, and this is a necessary part. You may not be my only mate like unicorns do, but I'll love you down properly if you let me. I'm not against being your mate, but you have to accept this..."(Red)
*Sniff*"I'll try, I want it to work, we're here... you can give me reasons, it always feels better when you convince me"(Elise)
"Well, let's see" I began to think "Let's say... I'm unique, there's no one else like me and if I don't want to stay alone I need to multiply, reproduce, with many females, the more the better. It's necessary, and I, as the only one man, I am obliged to that. If I only had one woman, the problem would not necessarily be solved, and if it is you, who does not want to have children yet, or maybe never, it would mean the end for my lineage... more women would solve that and you shouldn't feel pressured. We will be a big family, now you are part of my family, clan or pack and you should accept the others, because as it was with your pack before, now they will be part of your life... Is it better this way?"(Red)
"It makes sense, I think I can understand it... that's fine, thanks for consoling me"(Elise)
"Always" I said, then rubbed my head against hers and finished giving her a kiss on the cheek.
