Chapter 44: The Twilight Dungeon (3)
Michi felt a moment's regret at blowing off the lights too soon. Knowing that what she was doing couldn't happen again, deep down, she wanted to enjoy everything for the night and in her act of impatience, she had simply made the room descend into the darkness with only the sensation of her innards leaving her grasping at the imaginary sight of the 'trouble' she had 'invited in.'
"Haaah~" She exhaled loudly as her fingers subconsciously traced her entrance and she instantly felt a bit of thick shaft still left unhosted. Her warm palm gently pushed against the flat of Nik's crotch while she adjusted on him.
Although Nik's vision, too, wasn't amazing to the point of being supernatural in the dark, he had already begun to adapt to the darkness. His gaze lingered on Michi's body, feeling a little pity that a woman of her caliber was somewhat motivated to find pleasure in lower rungs of the hierarchy but it would be even more pitiful if Nik let his thoughts get distracted from Michi.
His hands had already gotten a good feel of Michi's body. From her waist to her butt and her breasts to her abdomen, his fingers had traced all and as Michi continued to marvel at the sensation of being completely stuffed, and not with negative emotions that she had been until recently, Nik held Michi's hands that lingered over his crotch before gently pulling her into a hug.
What could he do? Nik liked cuddles and it was quite cold and Michi was hogging the blanket by keeping it on her back. The act was similar to a single stone shooting two targets.
Feeling Nik's arms wrap around her tightly, Michi could only bite her lower lip as she was moved a bit lower onto him, made to fully accept whatever Nik had to offer.
"You... can still leave..." Michi mumbled in a show of hypocritical righteousness. Why hypocritical? Well, unlike her words, Michi's nails scratched on his chest and her lips continued to blow against the edge of his jaw hotly. As if hinting against the act itself, Michi tightened around Nik. They had yet to start moving and Nik already felt the intentions of being sucked dry by Michi and the most dangerous part Nik realized was that Michi was 'normal' physically compared to others. What... are the differences he could experience if he stuck it in someone who can breathe fire or whip water? As for air? It was already hinted that Aang was the only Airbender remaining and Nik had no such tendencies.
"Really? I can?" Nik grunted his inquiry with his hug tightening, "If I did, who's going to do this?"
With a mischievous tone taking turn, Nik jerked his waist up slightly.
"Nhaaa!" Michi yelped. Her complicated emotions melted away in an instant and she snorted a chuckle, "Fine, fine, stay! But if he suddenly returns--"
"I'm still going to stay here and let him know why a woman like you shouldn't be ignored," Nik wasn't stingy with compliments at all and a blush crept up Michi's cheeks while her neck felt warm. Under the blanket, their whispers were wholly hushed and Nik finally revealed the problem that needed to be tended soon.
"Michi... if you're not going to move, let me... or else, all the hardwood is going to turn soft again," Nik stated his worries clearly. It's easy to get hard again but he would rather not be that inefficient.
His words caused Michi's breathing to get quicker and rough. She couldn't easily admit to a few things and wanted to drive past the pound town was one of them. However, she didn't need to say anything. Still, on top of Nik, her hands on his chest and her body being hugged by him, she had quite a bit of freedom under her waist. Though oozing with juices, the lack of constant attention from her better half and simply the size of the penis she was dealing with made it harder for Michi to move skillfully. But she tried nonetheless. Her hips pulled up with knees digging into the mattress and she felt her innards stuck onto Nik. As she moved, the sensation of the thick curvature fully pressing against her walls made her whimper in delight while Nik was given his answer.
They could move.
Not willing to keep an already patient waiting further, he bucked up to Michi's rhythm. If she moved up, he would only follow up as she reached the peak and readied to bring her hips down.
"Mmmgh!"
Michi's moans followed soon. Her body was now completely warm in Nik's hands and her head buried into his chest leaving behind loose strands of her dark hair that tickled his chin and neck.
"Ahh~ S-slow," Michi groaned while slamming her hips down. Though sweet, Michi kept on making Nik feel speechless at the difference in her actions and words.
'Trained to say something and do something else from childhood?' Nik speculated yet his brows were knitted and his concentration pulled by the tight and noble hole already being accustomed to his size as Michi's movements grew rougher.
He could feel the wet of her saliva on his chest, or was it sweat dripping down her face and onto his chest? Michi would have to look up for Nik to conclude things--
*Pah*
*Pah*
*Pah*
As if coming to a silent and tacit understanding, the two didn't intend to give their partner any time of respite as their movements grew rougher. With each slap of the crotches, Michi's juices would gush out. A thin trail of it already traced down Nik's thighs and onto the sheets. That was the most worrisome thing time being... the fear of cleaning up and hiding traces. But with fear, for Michi, came a bout of incomparable lust. Fully expecting this to be a one-time deal, Michi wanted to vent out completely, and much to her pleasure, Nik didn't seem like the kind to have his own desires forced upon others... surely, he seemed to be a man with an interesting history regardless of his status to act so kindly but it wasn't her place to pry it open.
The more she would know, the more entangled things would become and that wasn't what Michi wanted.
'But...'
Michi traced Nik's chest and her other arm was bent into her own breasts, nuzzling comfortingly, 'Is it so bad... to have nights like this if Ukano doesn't want to--'
Her thoughts came to a startling end.
Daze took her eyes and she seemed to be living a strange scene.
It was dark, like tonight. But it was incomparably cold. Fear suddenly emerged in Michi's being as she wasn't in her room. Nik wasn't warmly hugging her but her iron clutches held her limbs to a rocky chair and on a ring of earth revolved a white lamp.
"Honey! Those children deserve better!" Michi teared up and sadness bloomed in her chest when she faced her husband yet he looked so unfamiliar.
"Sigh-- I expected better from--"
"Aaaahhhhh!"
Michi shrieked and surprised Nik greatly. One of her hands had already clawed into his chest as Michi looked up with tears streaming down her face.
"Are you alright? Don't answer that, it was a stupid question," Nik's lips twitched. His skills... did they drop at an all-time low?

"Okay... that should be where the children are kept," Suki whispered as she and Katara had their backs lined up against a wall. The orphanage was a simple formation of rooms underground but the two were simply scouting things out. The two girls had their hair and lower halves of the face completely covered up with scarves and Katara even wore a small leather pouch filled with water in case of emergencies.
"Hey, take a look at that..." Katara poked Suki's shoulder and then pointed in the other direction. It was a dead-end wall but Suki couldn't help but frown seeing that.
"A hidden passage?" Katara and Suki hid themselves as the wall continued to move until it revealed a narrow passage leading into a staircase winding further down. From it, the duo was surprised to find a familiar figure stepping out.
It was Kai.
His figure was the very description of a man in a daze and his clothes seemed quite ruffled up.
Behind him walked one of the waitresses that accompanied Nik in serving the food to the mayor and his family.
"I hope Lord Kai felt satisfied," the woman used one of the most... monotonous voice Suki and Katara had ever heard. It was robotic yet the term wasn't really known in this world.
"I was satisfied. Thank Father-in-law in my stead," Kai, too, replied in a similar monotonous voice.
The woman and the man began to walk together but they did not converse at all. Instead, they seemed to be without any will by themselves, and by the time they left, the wall had closed itself up. Once they were gone, Katara and Suki looked at each other.
"Thoughts?" Katara inquired.
"Definitely weird..." Suki pursed her lips, "What do you think... were the services she meant?"
Katara and Suki exchanged knowing looks and nodded silently before they carefully walked towards the shut entrance.
"How do we get it to open?" Suki mumbled when a curious voice replied, "I can try to use the air currents to slip through the cracks of the wall but it will create a loud noise as the wall moves."
"Sigh, Aang, we're trying to be silent. If it causes a loud..." Katara closed her mouth and blinked in surprise. She looked towards Suki and they both shared another glance and raised their guards up. Slowly, they turned back to see a curious Aang gazing at the wall behind the duo and eagerly waiting for their responses.
"Aang?" Suki questioned.
"Yeah?" Aang smiled and tilted his head.
"How..." Suki rubbed her head with a deep sigh as Aang innocently pointed out, "I could smell Katara."
"I don't smell!" Katara instantly hissed with a furious expression as Aang flinched back with fear before he hurriedly shook his head, "I meant that my room was nearby and the smell of the sea is clear for the time being..." he pouted a bit and Katara still gazed at the boy suspiciously.
"Alright, we learn new things every day. So what if you smell," Suki shook her head and Katara gazed at the woman with an annoyed expression. Before Katara could retort, Suki continued, "Aang, what are you doing here? And did they do anything weird to you?"
"I just found out that Katara was here and wanted to find out if I can help. Don't worry, I don't leave any noise while walking stealthily... and... well, aside from everyone forgetting that they have families in the surrounding coastal villages... nothing strange happened to me," the boy assured as Katara gripped the hem of her scarf.
"We can't risk ourselves getting discovered... let's try to find a trigger around here," Suki finally shook her head. In Sokka's absence, Suki was the natural leader of the group and was cautious, too, when the situation demanded as such.
Aang and Katara nodded and the trio began to find anything remotely similar to a trigger yet the hallway was clean and empty. The only indication of the hidden passage was none other than the creases of the entrance that once seen couldn't be unseen.
Seeing that there was nothing else they could do, Suki and Katara bid Aang farewell but not before cautioning him to keep his bending and tattoos hidden as much as possible and not to be afraid to find help. From Aang, they also came to understand... that he didn't mind going to school. For Aang, it was quite a nice and refreshing change of pace to stay with children his age and study what they did. After all, this knowledge will only be helpful to the young Avatar.

"The Twilight Dungeon?" Nik warmly embraced the sobbing Michi as she gasped in the middle of her sniffles.
"Yes! *Hic* The Twilight Dungeon... I remember now. Ukano... why... why did he do that? What did he even do? I still can't remember it clearly... there was constantly shifting lamp and that man..."
Her body shivered while Nik grew silent.
'Hypnosis... or some form of mental suggestion but not done at a regular interval that caused her to break out of the triggers due to orgasmic reactions?' Nik knew very little of these concepts but the fact was that he knew. While his previous world was certainly backward and industrial, it was still advanced when compared to the current world of Avatar he found himself in. But the concept and application of hypnosis were still present here which was outstanding in itself.
"Do... you know why the mayor would have done something to you?" Nik inquired soothingly. His hand stroked Michi's back as she nodded. There was a strange expression on her face and she finally admitted.
"It... had something to do with children... but even I'm not sure anymore... but he stopped... taking his 'responsibilities' as the husband around this time, too... I... think I saw something in his office..." Michi looked at Nik with a hint of caution. For a moment, her shivering body wished to move back but this time Nik kept her close to his chest.
"Hey, relax. Take a deep breath... I don't understand what's going on but... I'm here."
Nik whispered as Michi couldn't help but struggle a little, "You should just leave. It's... let's forget what we did. If Ukano finds out, he may do something far terrible than what we can imagine."
Her tone was heartbreaking but her actions left Nik speechless again as her hands coiled past his pits and hugged his back tightly.
Chuckling wryly, Nik stated in a slightly stiff tone, "Oh, no, let me stay here." He shook his head while speaking and Michi couldn't help but smile somewhat.
However, when Michi felt that she would be left alone pondering what the fragments of her memories meant, Nik's sly tone took her by a pleasant surprise and his words gave her a completely different option as to what she could spend remaining night doing.
"Well, if us sleeping together could trigger your memory, Mistress, I propose we do it again. Harder, this time... maybe it will help..."
His hands leaning down towards her yet to have cooled down body only made Michi lean towards accepting the proposal. Still, she stated with a slightly angered tone.
"Don't call me that... by my name... use my name," She remarked again with a huff while Nik's face tilted and the warm breath from his lips tickled her ears as Nik exclaimed softly, "Fine, Michi, let's make this night ours to remember. I want you to cry out not because of some memories... but..."
Michi's pace of breathing quickened as she felt Nik's device poking up once again. Just the vigor by itself completely pleased her and his words only served to make her forget about her troubles momentarily, "I still haven't finished up even once. How cruel, Michi... don't you think that I have so much to offer?"
His other hand stroked her face before leaning down for a kiss. Her lips were a bit salty from the dried-out tears but he could feel Michi smiling now. After all, it only takes a hint of affection to please those who weren't offended to death by the little things and Michi was clearly a woman who would give her all once given the chance.
Even if Ukano did betray her expectations to the level of manipulating her memories, Michi could only place her thoughts at Nik in front of her but there was a small pang of sadness within her even now.
'Sadly... you're married... I'm, too...'
She closed her eyes, not letting her thoughts stay on this fact for long. The lines she had crossed allowed her to finally bypass these few moral dilemmas easier than before.

"Where is it?"
A burst of flames instantly lit up the night sky of the southern coast of the Earth Kingdom!
A giant battleship was left stranded in the middle of the sea and the spot that held the prison rig was now filled with calm waves of salty water.
On the bow of the ship stood a middle-aged man wearing well-crafted red armor with a golden emblem on his chest and his fingers now crackled with blazing flames. His astounded gaze failed to find anything remotely close to a prison rig and his expression turned dark.
"Send a message to Ukano, have him search the surroundings. Sweep the coastal waters and see if we pick up anything suspicious! A prison rig cannot disappear and this one was under the Phoenix King himself!"
The man passed down orders instantly, "Send a hawk out to have a small group of searching party reach us by the break of dawn!"
The orders were processed quickly and multiple hawks flew out of the battleship.
