- After a lengthy and not altogether boring apprenticeship, I chose to
- travel the Great Route, as most of you did when first you could stand and
- answer to the name "minstrel", in order to see something of what the world
- had to offer for such a talented young man as myself. I had travelled this
- route from Padya to Sintiria to Amia to Militilva and back to Padya again
- for some two years (or was it perhaps three?) before settling down, for as
- long as my interest might last, in the highlands of southern Tierma, running
- messages and gossip up and down the foothills of the Zannick Mountains. I
- had been there not three months before word came to my ears (ever attuned
- are they to such news) of a certain young nymph who lived near Sil, and what
- I heard was more than enough to thoroughly whet my appetite for some
- firsthand knowledge. The next time I passed through Sil, after a period of waiting which
- narrowly escaped exceeding the limits of my patience, I discovered, with
- very little difficulty, where I could find the maid for whom I sought. She
- lived in a little inn built of stone, halfway up a hill to the west of Sil,
- which was kept by her father, her sister, and herself. When first my eyes
- bathed in her vision (ah, with what cruelness that moment ended!), I
- resolved to spend the night there, and not without companionship, if her
- young heart, or at least her passion, could be swayed. Her name was Iana. Her sister's name was Wana, and they were twins,
- but not, I regretted most painfully, of even remotely equal beauty. Their
- feet, which they wore naked in the warmer seasons, seemed never to have
- known shoes; to cramp such lovely, graceful feet in clogs or boots would
- have seemed a sacrilege. Their legs were slender and well muscled and, like
- their feet, slightly browned by the sun. When presented with a view of
- their backs, I could perceive, beneath each skirt, generous swells that
- suggested pumpkins. When they turned about, my eyes wandered among four
- small mountain peaks which I longed to climb and explore. But above their
- shoulders, fate had dealt its cards most unfairly. Iana's face was pretty,
- although not extraordinarily so, with small ears, brown eyes which sparkled
- when the light struck them, and light brown hair that hung, as straight as
- water falls, down to her shoulders. But Wana's face was ugly, with large,
- misshapen ears, grey lifeless eyes that seemed to have been filled with mud
- from a river bank, and thin, stringy hair cut in a mockery of her sister's.
- I must confess that I might have passed the night with Wana, out of
- compassion for the unfortunate maiden (for surely, I thought, she must be a
- maiden), were it not for the availability of far more comely game. To cut straight to the heart of the situation, and spare you the
- lengthy conversation with which I swayed the fair Iana to my will, she
- agreed to receive me in her room when the moon had set. Ah, the impatience
- with which I watched that fat crescent descend behind the hills! When there
- was but a sliver left to view, it seemed to hang their for hours, mocking
- me, before the last silvery tip disappeared. At last I made my way to the
- door beyond which lay the subject of my desire. As I pushed it open slowly,
- the light from my candle cast an ever-widening wedge of light on the
- foot-smoothed wooden floor, an arrow which pierced the shadows and pointed
- the way to my delight. As it touched the foot of the bed, before it could
- illuminate what lay therein, she called in a whisper, "Put out the candle,
- and come to me." Hesitating nary an instant, I did as she bade me, closing
- the heavy oaken door behind me. There was a window next to the bed, but
- with the moon gone the stars cast only enough light to reveal the dark
- shadows of the bed and something moving upon it. Letting my robe flow
- silently off my back onto the floor, I felt my way beneath the heavy blanket
- which shielded Iana's body from the evening's chill. When her naked body pressed against mine, her skin felt like the
- smoothest silk compared with the coarseness of the blanket. Her hot breath
- tickled in my ear as her mouth sought my own. My tongue bathed her lips,
- then ran along her teeth, then slipped between them to find her tongue
- which, far from being reticent, fought gently with mine, now forcing its way
- into my mouth, now withdrawing. My hand, while this oral battle was being
- waged which could only end with both of us the victor, had run its course
- from her shoulder down to her breast, a swell of flesh so soft and yielding
- that it felt almost liquid, then on to her hip and down her leg to her
- slightly bent knee, then up the inside of the same leg, proceeding ever more
- slowly. As I felt the warmth from the junction of her thighs waft against
- my hand, her leg retreated from my fingers, widening the path to the capital
- of her passion. At last I felt the tickle of little curly hairs, and I
- moved my palm onto her mossy hill, feeling it move with each breath she
- drew. My longest finger pressed downward, and the base of that hill split
- apart to admit it. Her heated burrow hungrily accepted my finger and bathed
- it with a sticky balm; she sighed against my teeth as her arms reached out
- to pull me on top of her. Rather than deny a lady's request, albeit
- unspoken, I withdrew my hand and replaced it with my own loins. Her hand
- moved down to grasp my chief contribution to our mutual pleasure, and
- stroked the throbbing shaft for a few precious moments before guiding it to
- the humid cave which my fingers had so recently and so reluctantly abandoned. So wet was she, and so yielding, that I nearly buried myself altogether
- on the first stroke, and then did so completely on the second. Iana let a
- moan escape her lips, and I must confess that I returned in kind. Her
- cavern was rather loose around me (and I must tell you in all candor, if not
- modesty, that I am not undersized in that respect), but on the third sweet
- thrust her nether mouth closed tightly about me, and had it teeth, I swear
- she would have made a eunuch of me! I cannot adequately describe the
- ecstasy I shared with her that night, her sheath grasping now so delicately
- that we seemed barely to touch, now so tight that I even reached down with
- my hand to prove to myself that it was indeed the larger of her two crevices
- into which I bore. I caused her to expire twice before I could put off my
- own crisis no longer. When she felt the end approaching, she pushed
- urgently on my shoulders and whispered, "Here love, in my mouth." With much
- reluctance, and more than a little frustration, I withdrew, upon which she
- pushed me upright with a strength that surprised me and, like a striking
- snake, snapped her head down and swallowed my enraged organ before the first
- drop could be lost. I thrust my hips against her head, unable to control my
- orgasm, ignoring in my lust the danger of choking the poor girl. But she
- gulped it all down, right to the roots, her tongue stroking the entire
- length of it, and she gripped my buttocks fiercely as I pumped my milk down
- her throat. Then slowly, a finger's breadth at a time, she drew her head
- away, coaxing out the last drops that remained. My flesh passed her lips at
- last with a faint pop and she lay back, pulling me down atop her panting
- chest. Before I grew limp I slid back into the softness of her womanhood,
- and there I fell asleep as her inner hand squeezed and released, squeezed
- and released. When I awoke, Iana was gone. Disappointed at not finding her beside
- me, and at not having a second chance to make love with her, I arose and
- dressed, and then went to find her. But alas, the wind of fate turned ill,
- for she and her sister had left at dawn to attend to some business of their
- father's in Sil, and I left without bidding Iana farewell. That would be
- the end of my tale, had I not met up with another minstrel who left the inn
- at the same time as I. His path paralleled mine for a while, and we
- exchanged stories of our entertainments of the previous night. By chance I
- told my tale first, the one which I have just related to you. More than
- once my fellow traveller seemed as if he would interrupt me, and his face
- wrinkled first in confusion and later in amusement, but never spoke until I
- had finished my tale and he commenced his own. Now, my friends, imagine, if
- you can, my consternation upon hearing that my companion, too, had kept a
- rendezvous with Iana that same night, right at moonset.
