It seemed that my worry was unfounded, as Aethisia proceeded to make short work of the Geri Pack, leaving their corpses littered around the sandy arena before making her way back to the tunnel she entered from, Rhefia exiting a moment later.
"Alternating matches between our two Gauntlet Challengers! Aethisia is four for four right now, but can Rhefia continue on beside the other Deerkin? Let's find out! Her opponent for this match is an experienced guard inside our very own city~! Please give it up for Mikaela Gertua~!"
Rhefia stood confidently in the center, a short metal spear resting on her shoulder as she stared at the other tunnel, where a large, hulking Boarkin strode in.
Leaning forwards, Sari stared at Rhefia for a few moments before asking "Is Rhefia a veteran of some kind? Or is she just that arrogant? Her posture is all kinds of confusing..."
Pursing her lips, the Catkin observed Rhefia some more before turning her attention to her opponent, the Boarkin Mikaela, and said "Oh, well this'll be a swift fight... if Rhefia isn't just showboating on empty arrogance."
Camara glanced over at Sari, her brow raised as she asked "Have you gotten the feeling from my Dama that she's weak? That's surprising."
Glancing towards my eldest daughter, Sari chuckled as she shrugged, her black ears twitching slightly as the crowd began to cheer.
"It's... odd, the way she acts. Sometimes she seems rather normal, other times she acts arrogant and self assured. Few people manage something like that, and they've only ever been really strong or really weak. But..."
Gesturing back towards the arena, Sari gave a wry smile as Rhefia raised her spear and lanced it forwards, using the shaft to redirect the woman's staff before landing a shallow cut on the Boarkin's cheek.
Resting the blade on Mikaela's neck, Rhefia gave the Boarkin an arrogant smirk, which made her opponent drop her weapon and raise her hands, shaking her head incredulously.
"It seems she's amongst the former. Maybe I will have some trouble replacing her as the 'head' of the family... Hmm..."
I glanced at Sari, who was grinning at me, and I flinched slightly as she rubbed the back of my hand.
"So, Astra... would you like for me to be on top of the family? Be its protector? Besides that, I think that I'll manage continue being on top of you as well..."
Blushing slightly, I coughed as I looked back towards the arena, only to jump as Sari's hand fell onto my thigh next.
"I would prefer an answer, Astra... or do you want a reminder of what I did to you last night~? I can be much... rougher, if you would prefer. Treat you not as a person, but as a toy?"
Her voice was teasing, and I blushed harder as she squeezed my thigh, her fingers sinking into my flesh and sending shivers up my spine.
Camara glanced at me, but seeing that I hadn't made a move to do anything to Sari - nor had I said anything - she looked back towards her sister as she exited the tunnel once more, looking slightly annoyed at her smirking Dama as they moved past one another.
"W-Well, what another great showing by Challenger Rhefia! I guess the better question is, will Aethisia manage to match Rhefia going forwards? It almost seems blasphemous to say, but I think Rhefia's going to win it all! Place those bets quickly now everyone! Before the odds change to something of lesser value~!"
Yiksa chuckled at the woman's slight manipulation, while Sari continued to play with my thighs, enjoying the soft flesh under her fingers as she ate her sausage and sourdough bread with her free hand.
Her obvious want for my body was arousing - as I found most things relating to her arousing - and I felt myself rubbing my knees together as I grew wet under her touch.
As if sensing that, Rhefia glared up at the crowd before going completely into the tunnel, staring at Sari before looking towards me, and I felt my heart jump at her stare.
Oh, she was going to make me remember who 'owned' my body tonight...
That was for sure.
Turning away, Rhefia disappeared into the tunnel while Aethisia retook the 'stage', staring at the Elf who stepped out opposite her.
"Aethisia's fifth match is against the Elven Ranger Jilliana, a dead shot with a bow and lethal with her twin daggers! Will she manage against the experienced Ranger Jilliana, or will she fall short?"
The crowd surged with answers, shouting out their opinions all while the two combatants stared at one another, observing the other.
"Well, let's find out! Aethisia, Jilliana..! BEGIN!"
Swinging her wings down, the Harpy grinned as she watched the two surged forwards, charging at the other as quickly as they could.
Jilliana was slightly faster, her deep brown hair billowing behind her as she raised her two long, jagged daggers, preparing to slice into Aethisia.
However, while Jilliana may have been faster, Aethisia seemed to have anticipated whatever Jilliana was attempting, raising her sword and blocking a swift strike sent towards her chest.
A flurry of sparks showered the two women, and Jilliana leapt back as Aethisia slashed out, retaliating.
"Not bad... good instincts, and she seems to have a good grasp of her own body... She's a talented girl, Astra. Hopefully ours is as well."
Sari's fingers snaked towards my inner thigh, and I moaned softly before glancing towards her, my face flushing as I saw her smirk.
Kalia glanced over at me and smiled softly, saying "Mama, if you don't mind dealing with Dama's... hmm, I guess 'revenge' works... tonight, then do continue~!"
The two Dark Elves grinned at me, their eyes gleaming with amusement as Yiksa added "Because she will be hyper focused on you tonight, you do know that right~? Think you can satiate her hunger on your own~?"
I shuddered at her words, which made Kalia smirk at me, my youngest daughters pink eyes glowing as she said "Though, maybe we'll help you... after she's wrung you out and enjoyed herself for a little bit..."
