[Nivalis Silverfrost]
A nervous gulp ran down Aster's throat as his golden eyes darted around the dimly lit cave chamber, trying to spot where that ugly, terrifying creature was. It seemed to have vanished into the shadows without a trace. "Do you see it anywhere?!" he asked in a half-whisper, half-scream, his heart pounding so loudly against his ribcage that even Nivalis, standing close by, could hear it over their labored breaths.
The flickering flame above Aster's bandaged hand provided just enough light to reveal their rocky surroundings, casting elongated shadows that danced along the walls. Silvia stood right behind her brother, equally terrified as she peeked from behind him, not wanting to leave his side even for a moment.
Back then, on the ground, it was quite a mess when all three of them freaked out in panic after Aster's scream; they were tangled up in cloaks and limbs, making it harder than needed. In a rush to get up and away from whatever that creature was, Silvia pulled Aster's cloak with her as it was draped over her back when she sat on him earlier, leaving the boy completely naked, safe for his boots.
Now, the cold air caressed his hairless balls and throbbing shaft, entirely forgotten by him in that moment of fear and panic. But not by his mother, Nivalis, her blue gaze lingering a bit longer on those parts of her son. For her, it was an equally terrifying monster to deal with. 'Hard? In a moment like this? Seriously?' she thought in disbelief, shaking her head slightly before forcing herself to look around the rocky chamber again. The place was empty, just as they had found it, nothing moving in sight.
'Must be from having Silvia sitting on top... Damn it. From his own sister,' the woman sighed heavily, mentally noting that she needed to be even more careful with those two in the future. Who could have guessed that despite being wounded, weak, with a fever, and under a lot of stress, Aster's libido was still as high as ever? If she were to show him to some priest, she wouldn't be surprised to hear that he was kissed by the gods themselves or something... because the amount of trouble his little boyhood brought them was nothing short of divine.
— "I-I can't see it," Nivalis whispered back, ignoring, for now, his little problem as they had more pressing matters to deal with. She looked around warily instead, gripping the dagger so tightly in her fist that her knuckles turned white; its tip pointed toward where she thought the creature could be hiding, ready to stab should something crawl towards. Then, a sudden realization hit her like a wave... that creature looked like it could be poisonous. "Did you get bitten? Did anyone get bitten?!" Nivalis asked worriedly, blue eyes going from Aster to Silvia and back again, their pale faces illuminated by the flickering flame hovering above her son's hand.
Thankfully, they both shook their heads 'no,' with Silvia even lifting the hem of her two cloaks to reveal her pale legs, showing her mother that she was unharmed. "It was just crawling on top of the cloth, not biting me or anything..." she mumbled before pulling it all down, shivering at the memory. "What the heck was that?" Silvia added in a whisper, continuing to look around nervously for any signs of movement between the rocks. Above her palm, a small icicle floated, ready to be launched at a moment's notice.
Visibly relieved that none got hurt, Nivalis let out a quiet sigh before shaking her head slowly, "I have no idea... Never seen any creature like that. I think it's afraid of light... or loud noises, perhaps both," she whispered as she moved closer to her children, to help Aster to get back into his cloak. "We need to go. Put as much distance between us and this place as possible. In case something heard us," she muttered, removing one cloak from her daughter's trembling body only to put it over Aster's slender shoulders.
His little shaft prevented the hem of his garment from reaching below his waist; it got caught by that stubborn thing, so Nivalis had to adjust it a bit. A barely noticeable bulge remained visible between Aster's thighs after she tied the knot around his neck. "There we go. Now, we really should start moving. We were way too loud," she muttered with a grunt of effort as she grabbed him by his waist and lifted the boy into her arms, ignoring his quiet complaints of 'I can walk myself' or something along those lines. The sooner they put as much distance between themselves and this place in case that creature had any friends lurking nearby, the better.
Nivalis pressed Aster's skinny body against her chest, one hand holding him by his butt while another gripped a dagger, ready to stab anything should it dare to jump at them from the darkness. "Just hold onto me tightly, okay? Focus on the light," she whispered in his ear, giving him a light squeeze on his tender behind. He pouted a bit but obeyed her wordlessly.
She then motioned for Silvia to grab onto her arm, which the girl did immediately with those tiny fingers digging into her soft skin. "Okay... Let's go," the girl said in a shaky voice, grabbing that tiny icicle with the sleeve of her cloak so it wouldn't melt in her hand. Her eyes darted to the ground every few seconds, watching for any signs of that horrible thing beneath their feet.
Silence fell between them as they hurried away from their small cave, following the right wall again. Aster's body bounced up and down against Nivalis' chest with every step she made, feeling that angry erection of his rubbing against her abdomen, not even softening a little despite all this danger and fear surrounding them. The little shaft felt as hard as steel between their bodies while they moved through the darkness.
Nivalis, however, couldn't care less about it now; her thoughts were only about getting her sweet angels somewhere safer. But between these rocky walls, she doubted there was such a place.
...
It was difficult to tell how long they kept moving through those tunnels, passing dark stone walls, each looking the same as the one before. Nivalis' and her daughter's boots shuffled against the uneven ground beneath them, the only sounds in their ears besides heavy breaths and heartbeats. Even the slightest noise echoed loudly between all those narrow spaces. A tiny pebble beneath their feet sounded like a rumble of thunder.
Their ankles hurt from all this walking, their muscles screaming for rest. It truly felt like a few more hours had passed, but honestly, who knew? Time seemed to lose all meaning here, deep underground, where no sunlight could reach. How much Nivalis wished to see that warm, golden ray again...
Honestly, it was hard to believe they were still alive after all they'd been through—goblins, hunger, strange plant creatures, humans, and now this cave... way too much for a small family of three to handle. Yet, somehow, they were still kicking. ''Why is the world so cruel? What did I do to deserve it?' Nivalis couldn't help but wonder in frustration.
As time dragged on without even a hint of an exit, Nivalis found it increasingly difficult to simply put one foot in front of the other, let alone carry her son in her arms. Words couldn't describe how badly she wanted to rest, how tired and worn out she felt down into her very bones. The only thing that gave her strength was Aster's sweet, weary eyes looking up at her, dizziness written all over his reddened face, illuminated only by the faint flickering flame above his bandaged palm.
Silvia was no better off, trembling like a leaf in the wind. The cold air caressed her pale skin beneath that thin cloak, and the mana swirling within her chest did little to stop the shivering. Puffs of white mist escaped her pink lips as she trudged behind her mother, struggling to keep pace. Her underdeveloped body was just too weak and small for such long treks. Despite how much Silvia wished otherwise, she hadn't grown a bit since discovering her affinity.
They desperately needed rest... but how could they relax in a place like this? Aster's light was probably the only thing that kept them from being eaten by whatever lurked here. The long shadows more and more made Nivalis feel as though unseen eyes watched her every step, making her skin crawl beneath those torn clothes.
"Let's stop here. I'll keep watch while you both sleep," Aster suggested quietly, looking up at his mother's tired face from his place against her chest. "I'll be fine..." he added, offering a weak but genuine smile to reassure her while still having his little shaft poking into her belly with every step she made, covered with a thin cloak. Up and down, up and down, it went along the soft skin of her abdomen, his foreskin sliding back and forth over that swollen tip... but Nivalis somehow simply got used to the feeling. Or maybe she was just too tired to care.
The boy's words caught his mother by surprise; she furrowed her brows in response right before she stepped over some rocks, trying not to trip on her shaky legs. Nivalis opened her mouth but soon closed it back, as she couldn't come up with any better idea herself. She felt awful even considering asking him to stay awake alone to guard them while they slept. But continuing to wander through these dark tunnels in their state was simply not an option, she knew. They needed rest, desperately so.
Before Nivalis could respond, though, Silvia spoke up in a hesitant whisper. "How about we crawl in there, and I'll create an ice barrier to protect us?" The girl pointed toward a hole in the rocks ahead, hidden between the stones. Though quite small, it seemed just large enough for all three of them to squeeze inside if they tried hard enough.
"This way, we won't need any light and can sleep without worries. If anything tries to scratch at it, we'll hear it," she added with a small, hopeful smile.
Aster raised his flame higher into the air, illuminating that tiny hole in the stone wall. "Good idea," he mumbled thoughtfully, glancing over at his mother to hear what she had to say about it. They could actually get some well-needed rest if she agrees to it instead of continuing to look for an exit. He wouldn't need to stay awake alone the whole time, even though he was ready to do so. A little break sounded heavenly right now.
Nivalis nodded a moment later after carefully considering it. "I agree. It's probably the safest way to sleep for us," she said, gently stroking her daughter's soft cheek, her fingers brushing against the girl's pointy ear briefly. "Good thinking, sweetie," Nivalis added with an appreciative look at Silvia, making those golden eyes sparkle happily.
After quickly checking that it was empty and safe, they all crawled into the tight gap one by one through a small crack until they found themselves in a tiny pocket, pressed tightly against each other between the sharp rocks. No matter how much they tried to shift their position, there was no comfortable spot, something always digging painfully into their backs or shoulders. "Everyone okay?" Nivalis asked quietly after a few moments of discomfort.
"Yeah..." Aster mumbled in response, feeling how his mother's soft breasts pressed against his face, her ragged tunic barely covering them. Silvia hummed behind him, her chest rising and heavily falling as she focused on casting the spell, her hands above her head, pressed against the cold rock.
A few quiet moments later, a layer of ice started to form along the crack's edges, the crystals growing right before their eyes, slowly but surely sealing them inside this rocky tomb. The cold surface reflected their faint light from within, creating an odd mirror-like effect. Their dirty faces looked tiredly back at them from the other side, distorted by tiny cracks here and there.
Nivalis couldn't help but touch her bruised cheekbone; the swelling was still quite noticeable. Her busted lower lip stung as she licked it. "Good job, my sweet. I wasn't even thinking about it," she whispered, noticing tiny holes between rock and ice that allowed air to enter so they wouldn't suffocate, a little detail that could've cost them everything.
A gentle kiss landed on the crown of the girl's head in praise. The girl beamed up proudly at that simple gesture, happy that her ice affinity, for once, brought some good into their lives instead of only trouble. "You're welcome," she replied sweetly before nuzzling against Aster's back.
Aster's golden eyes darted from the icy wall to the small flame dancing above his bandaged hand, no larger than a mere ember. With a weary sigh, he shut his eyes and let the magic fade into nothingness. Instantly, darkness enveloped their little cave, where only their soft breathing echoed within that tiny pocket between the rocks.
For the first time since they got here, Nivalis felt her heart begin to calm down somewhat, no longer pounding wildly against her ribcage. 'The day was such a mess,' she thought tiredly, trembling from all the coldness radiating off the rocky walls.
The ice barrier above their heads made it twice as cold inside their tiny den, causing both girls to curl tightly around Aster for warmth. Even though Nivalis was worried about his fever getting only worse, right now, she found herself glad that her little boy's body radiated heat like a small oven. The strong smell of his sweaty, hairless skin filled her nostrils, but it didn't bother her even a bit. It was her precious baby boy, after all.
A loud growling of her stomach interrupted the silence between them. "Mom?" Aster whispered hesitantly into the dark. "Have you eaten anything... before all this happened?" he asked, receiving no reply for a long while. When Nivalis finally answered, it was not what he wished to hear.
— "I... no, I haven't," she whispered reluctantly, taking a deep breath. She should have eaten something before going fishing today but did not, wanting instead to get more work done. Now she could feel it, the gnawing emptiness in her guts. "Don't worry, honey. I'm fine," Nivalis added reassuringly, gently caressing his messy silver hair with her hand. "Have you two eaten the fish I cooked?"
Silvia's voice joined in before Aster could answer, "Yeah, we ate it all. The whole thing. I made sure he ate plenty." With that, she slipped her hands under his cloak, pressing her palms against the softness of his belly, causing him to gasp softly in surprise at how cold her fingers felt.
"That's good," Nivalis murmured back, releasing a quiet, sad sigh before closing her eyes. Once again, her stomach loudly protested the lack of food in it, but she didn't pay any attention to it. "Now let's get undressed and put our clothing under ourselves so it doesn't hurt so much..." she added, shifting uncomfortably as rocks beneath poked her pale skin painfully. Hums of agreement could be heard from both children, followed by rustling fabric.
Nivalis quietly helped her son with the knot on his collar, as he couldn't do it himself because of the bandages covering his hands. With a quick tug, she undid it before Aster took off his cloak and stuffed it underneath their bodies. His boots were next; she gently pushed them off with her foot, feeling his toes curl against her ankles a moment later. "There you go," Nivalis whispered, patting his naked chest affectionately, feeling those protruding ribs move with each breath.
She then started to work on removing her ragged clothing, too. Unlike their petite frames, she had to struggle quite a bit more to slip out of it without accidentally elbowing someone in the face by mistake. Twisting and turning awkwardly, Nivalis could feel her son's stiff shaft poke into her hip as she moved around, reminding her of his little problem.
'Oh, dear gods,' she thought tiredly, realizing she would need to take care of it... again. She simply had no other choice. Not only did she not want him to feel any additional pain than he already was in, but also because she knew how distracting and uncomfortable it could get for him if left unattended. In a situation where his magic was vital to their survival? Her wants and whims do not matter one bit. Tonight, she will squeeze all the life out of her son's little balls...
However, she couldn't help but wonder how she would do that with Silvia so close. 'Maybe I could do it while she is asleep?' Nivalis asked herself mentally, her milky-pale breasts hanging right above Aster's face as she adjusted the fabric beneath them, making sure no cold stone would touch their skins. Once comfortable enough, or at least as much as they could be in there, Nivalis pulled both of her babies into a warm embrace against her chest, feeling their naked bodies relax in her soft hold.
Despite all the sharp rocks digging into them from all sides, it felt heavenly to finally relax a little bit. A gentle smile graced woman's lips as she released a long sigh of relief, happy that this day was finally over. "My poor darlings..." Nivalis cooed, gently running her fingers through their long silver hair, feeling the tangled strands beneath her fingertips.
Silvia's quiet voice reached Nivalis' long ears, making them twitch ever so slightly at the sudden sound in this deathly silence around them. "Should I do our mana thing to him? He's all red," she asked her mother, referring to their little trick of pushing mana into each other to help deal with the mana overuse. "...I was supposed to do it in the evening anyway, to help with the fewer," the girl added, placing her head on her little brother's. Their pointy ears of the exact same shape pressed together as she finished speaking.
After considering it for a moment, Nivalis hummed in approval. "Sure, sweetie... but only you to him, not the other way around. He needs to save his mana as much as possible," she replied, reaching into the darkness until her palm found her daughter's naked shoulder. "Would you be alright without it?"
Silvia touched her mother's hand briefly before replying, "Yeah, don't worry, Mom. It would be nice, but I'll be fine without it for some time." The chattering of her teeth could be heard amidst the silence that followed, making her words sound less convincing. However, there was nothing that Nivalis could do about it in their current situation. They desperately needed Aster to light the way out of this place and couldn't afford to spend so much of his mana on such things.
"Alright," Nivalis murmured back before helping her son roll over so he would face his sister instead. Just as he was about to pull the girl into his arms, though... "Wait, honey. One more thing," she suddenly interrupted him, slipping her hand between their naked bodies until it reached his little shaft, much to his surprise. Her soft hand got right against that throbbing hardness, cupping its whole length and delicate balls. The mother heavily sighed as she felt just how swollen he was down there; the heat of his little shaft almost burned her palm.
"Um... Mom?" Aster asked softly, glancing over his shoulder as he felt her warm hand on him. Her fingertips dug into the soft skin beneath that little boyhood, the sides of her palm covering him entirely while his tip poked against the base of her thumb. "W-what are you doing?"
— "I should've started doing it long ago. You two are getting older, sweetie. Some... ideas... might start appearing in your minds," Nivalis whispered to the boy, feeling his heartbeat with her palm. "We can't let any accidents happen between you two... understand? From now on, I want you to face me when you sleep. And during those mana things of yours, my hand will be there. Just like this," she tried to explain, gently squeezing her son's soft, hairless testicles, feeling two small nuts within them. "Okay?"
Taking a deep breath, Aster nodded his head even though she couldn't see it and whispered, "O-okay... I-I guess I understand." He shifted around awkwardly at the strange sensation of her warm hand holding him down there. One wrong movement could cause an incredible amount of pain, but he trusted his mother to be gentle.
"Can I still hug him from behind when we sleep?" Silvia asked hesitantly, wrapping her arms around Aster's waist and pulling him closer to her bare body. Their nipples of the same color and size pressed against each other's, slightly rubbing as she shifted around a bit before settling down comfortably.
Nivalis closed her blue eyes at the thought. "Of course, my love. It should be fine," she replied after considering it momentarily. "You understand better than anyone why I do this, don't you?"
"Mhm... yeah," Silvia hummed quietly in agreement, resting her cheek on Aster's head. The boy hummed in confusion, unsure what she was referring to. "I'm starting now..." the girl added with a deep breath as she concentrated on the mana inside herself.
Soon enough, a quiet moan escaped Aster's mouth when his sister's mana rushed into his body through their touching chests. His hips began to wiggle around involuntarily at the overwhelming sensation of it, her cold reaching and caressing places so deep within him that it made his mind all fuzzy and hazy. His erection slowly rubbed itself against his mother's palm, the sensitive pink tip peeking out of the foreskin every other second, leaving wet, slimy trails on her soft skin.
All the meanwhile, Silvia's public bone, just as hairless as her brother's, rubbed against the back of Nivalis' hand. It only confirmed that her decision was correct; no matter how uncomfortable she felt, it was a much better alternative than having yet another little Silverfrost running around. 'Nope. Not happening,' Nivalis thought to herself while listening closely to Silvia's heavy breathing and Aster's quiet moans. 'I'd rather have my hand there all day and night than deal with that.'
Nivalis closed her eyes, trying to ignore the slick, slippery mess her son made on her palm as he rubbed against it like a dog in heat. A gentle slap against his soft little testicles was enough to put an end to his wiggling for about twenty seconds just before he started again to rub himself against her hand. "Is he always like this?" Nivalis asked in a whisper, giving another soft slap to those sensitive balls with her fingers, making her baby boy yelp ever so cutely.
A few seconds of silence followed as Silvia maintained focus on the spell. "Well... not like this, no," she answered quietly before panting directly into Aster's ear. "But a little bit, yeah. I've got used to it."
— "Dear heavens... you should have told me earlier," Nivalis muttered quietly back, sighing heavily when he again started to grind himself against her palm. She closed her tired blue eyes and relaxed slightly, gently squeezing those delicate balls in her hand to make him stop, feeling each nut grind against each other under her fingers.
She did so every time Aster tried to move his hips again, leaving him whimpering quietly from the sensation. Despite this, with each furious throb, his pink tip leaked more of that clear, slippery pre-cum that Nivalis thought that, at some point, he had peed himself a little by accident. It was just everywhere... her palm was soaking wet in it. Some even dripped down through her fingers onto his pale thigh.
After a while, Silvia finished her spell, leaving her little brother panting for air from all those overwhelming feelings coursing through his petite body. "Sorry, Mom... I don't know why I kept doing it," were Aster's first words once he regained control, suddenly feeling embarrassed. Her hand still held onto him down there, not moving away.
"You just liked her hand on your thing too much, didn't you?" Silvia teased him quietly, giggling against his shoulder. Her teeth biting at his pale skin lightly, leaving tiny red marks.
"I guess..." the boy replied shyly in a hushed whisper, earning himself a few delicate slaps against his testicles from his mother. She didn't like hearing such words from her children's mouths. "Ouch... Mom!" Aster protested in a hurt tone; each time, her fingers connected with his round little balls made him flinch and squirm involuntarily. There was not a single hair to protect him from those slaps.
Nivalis gently kissed the back of his head, a smirk dancing on her lips. "You've deserved those, sweetie," she whispered, her voice sounding softer than ever before asking, "Now... are we done?" She received hums of confirmation from them both. Removing her drenched hand from her son's little boyhood, Nivalis helped him roll back towards herself so his back faced Silvia instead. "Let's sleep then," she exhaled, feeling his shaft poking against her hip once more, throbbing into her skin... so desperately hard.
The girls wrapped their hands around him simultaneously while snuggling closer to his skinny frame, pressing their naked bodies against his pale skin. However, a few minutes later, Silvia broke the silence. "You're going to do the humping business right after I fall asleep, aren't you?" she asked in a hushed whisper, causing Nivalis to choke on her breath for a second there.
It was exactly what she had planned to do.
