Netori: Stealing The Hero's Party!

The Hero's party had assumed that they could easily move on from Athenia, but turns out there was a reason why nobody could, not unless they had the galls to smash horrors like toothpicks. Coming to the very same realization, Raven felt for once, powerless, like no matter how much he raced his mind, however good his plans were, there were some things in the world that you can never be prepared for.

Wandering deeper and deeper away from the camp, he kept searching for Mino with only one eye. His fae vision helped him see through the dark, but having lost an eye, he was sluggish with every movement. At first, he'd attempted to race through the forest, but bumping into trees from near his blind spot he decided just to walk.

"Mino?" Finally coming to a clearing, he looked around and found the Minotaur girl sitting at a riverbank. Her knees folded close to her chest, she mindlessly gazed into the water with a pile of fish resting right beside her.

Carefully walking up close without making any noise, Raven gently reached for her shoulder. Feeling a familiar warmth, and then the scent, she turned her head to him and just stared at his face for a while.

"Your eye…" Reaching for the eyepatch made of conjured magic, Mino tried to lift it but Raven grabbed her hand midway through.

"Forget that, just come with me to camp," Raven tried to pull her up on her feet, but instead Mino pulled him over her body. Laying on top of each other, with their eyes holding a stare, Mino wrapped her hands around Raven and quickly pulled him into a kiss.

With the river humming beside them, Mino kept their lips locked for a while. Her fingers dug into Raven's back, quivering and afraid, not for herself, but how she could've lost him today just because she was too afraid to face her fears. Pulling back finally, she looked him in the eye and whispered.

"I'm useless, I don't wanna fight–" Overwhelmed with emotions, she took a brief pause and gulped them down. "I might lose myself again, like I did with that kid. By the time I regained consciousness, all that was left were my bloody hands."

Had it been any other day, perhaps Raven would've simply shrugged her off, even motivated her somehow to continue fighting, but feeling somewhat defeated himself, he couldn't fault her for thinking this way. However, there was one thing she was missing and Raven decided to fill her in.

"If we don't fight, everything and everyone we love and cherish," caressing her cheeks, a gentle smile crept up his face. "They'll be consumed by the darkness and forgotten like they never existed."

"Your goddess, why doesn't she help?" She asked, not knowing that Raven had had the same question himself.

An omnipotent god, who's given birth to countless others, why would she make her people suffer? What was the point of having the forces of evil? Why did she ever allow it to happen? The torture of the weak by the wealthy, the demise of hope in the hopeful, the death of the lifegiving, why? Why did she ever allow it to happen? The answer, while simple, went against her teachings.

"Because she's not omnipotent or kind," answered Raven, realizing that his faith had finally been shattered.

"But that's all the more reason for us to get stronger, so we don't have to rely on the mercy of a lying goddess," and with those words, he locked their tongues once more. Trying to forget the tragedies of the day, the duo began seeking solace in each other's warmth.

At first, it was just through the lips but then their hands began to crawl. Feeling a flutter inside her belly, Mino flipped them both into the water. Watching Raven pinned under her arms, she nuzzled up to his chest for a moment before slowly undoing his buttons with her teeth. One after the other undoing them all, she reached over to his bottom which she quickly pulled off with her hands.

"You're all I have now, so I'll do as you say," she whispered looking up at Raven with her fingers wrapping around his dick.

Drowning her worry in the comfort of her master, she let the memories of the past wash away with the river. Brushing her cheeks against his warmth, she kissed his shaft on the side. Then slowly pumping her hands up and down, she brought her lips to the very top. Opening her mouth, she let her saliva drip down his tip and used it as a way to lube her pumping hands.

Their minds slowly consumed by the moment, the feeling of now, Mino took off all her clothes as well and moved her body over Raven's. Spreading her legs right above his head, she felt herself dripping right over his face. Yet too consumed by the warmth in her hand, she began stroking him faster and faster before bringing her lips down on his length.

Moving his hands over her body ass, Raven squeezed her cheeks tight and raised his head to reach her pussy. Sticking out his tongue while she also invited his cock into her mouth, he licked her on the clit and ran his tongue across her dripping slit.

"Mhnm~ Ah!" Feeling a euphoric tingling on her folds, Mino gasped as his tongue played around with her clit. However, quickly lowering her head back on his cock, she tried matching his rhythmic licks with her wet slobbering on Raven's thick cock.

Spreading her folds while feeling himself deep in Mino's mouth, Raven dug his tongue inside her pussy and readied her folds by lubing it up with a mix of her juices and his saliva. Twisting and turning around each corner, he could taste her juices dripping down his chin, all the while his cock was throbbing deep inside Mino's mouth-pussy.

Too drunk on the sensation of being explored with a tongue, Mino's body laid heavy on Raven's with his cock still deep inside her mouth.

'What am…where are we?' Her mind blissfully numbed by getting her pussy eaten, Mino's head was free of the guilt from the horrific incident, and even though it was bound to be temporary, this was exactly what she needed, a reminder as to why life's worth living.
