The Goddess Returns

Chapter 9: The Voyage Continues

Deep inside a hollow mountain on a crescent-shaped island, two female voices rose in pleasure. A cry here, a moan there, and interspersed with this symphony of delight, a third voice joined in, a little deeper and with an odd harmonic to it, as though speaking into a glass jar.

Through the tunnels and caves of this artificial network inside the mountain, a vast cavern awaited, large enough for a hundred or more people to stand with plentiful elbow room. Around the cavern, formations of blue crystal gave the space a cool azure glow while high above, an opening to the air let bright white sunlight in to create an aqua-green atmosphere similar to the ocean shallows seen from below.

In the centre of the cavern stood a golden statue, several times the height of an average lady, holding its hands up before it, as though grasping a large bowl which had been removed. Below the statue: an altar made from pure slate.

And on the altar, the source of the pleasant sounds of enjoyment; two girls grinding harder and harder, bringing themselves and each other closer to their messy endgame, juices flowing so fast that they ran in rivulets along little grooves in the altar top, draining into a large, golden bowl just below.

Loitering at the edge of the altar top, the ghostly Sephila floated just before the bowl, her eyes lingering on the liquids rapidly filling it to the brim. If it wasn't for her current deficit in the realm of physicality, she would have been making quite the puddle herself.

With a final cry that resulted in Sephila's face lighting up, Levana let go, shuddering as orgasm after orgasm washed over her. At seeing her lover explode with pleasure, Sui also came, managing to keep her vocal indications under some measure of control through simple embarrassment; having a goddess witness them making love wasn't exactly the optimal way to enjoy herself.

A last moan of abject euphoria escaped Sui's lips, at which point she collapsed back on her arms and stared at the ceiling, wondering, not for the first time, if Sephila could perhaps allow them to turn the super orgasms—as she currently thought of them—off when they felt like it.

Her whole body was drained, literally and figuratively. Sephila's desire for girl juice meant the two of them could effectively wet themselves with their own lubricating liquids, a necessity for filling the Holy Vessel, but this also resulted in physical dehydration.

Flopping off the side of the altar, Sui did her best to keep her legs under control. They felt like jelly, as though she had just run a marathon from Akasar to Hourence and back. She leaned against the altar and glanced at the bowl. "Looks like you got the full amount this time, m-my lady," she panted.

Sephila beamed at her. "Quite so, young Sui! A most wonderful show, yes. Now... if one of you could perhaps lift the bowl up to my arms...?"

Levana, as the much taller girl there, slid off the altar and spent a moment steadying herself against it. The moment she felt her legs could carry her, she bowed to their goddess, grasped the bowl carefully in both hands, and walked to the statue.

"Steady, steady..." Sephila whispered as Levana lifted the bowl and slid it into the statue's waiting hands. "Aaah, here it coooooomes...!"

A flash of blue light filled the room and subsided as quickly as it had arrived, leaving the goddess wreathed in an azure glow. A few minutes slipped past, during which time Levana and Sui cleaned themselves and the altar, followed by watching with interest as the glow faded away to leave... a beautiful woman.

Sephila looked down at her newly reacquired corporeal form and nodded in satisfaction. "Perfect, thank you, both!" She twisted this way and that, stretching her arms out, or flexing her legs, or cupping her enormous breasts in both hands. "Ah, yes, this is more like it. Nothing beats having a physical body, with all the... pleasures associated with such."

Sui stared at Levana for a moment, then switched her gaze to their goddess, then back to Levana. Her girlfriend had what might be called an hourglass figure, and was pure perfection to Sui's eyes. But even Levana's bountiful assets couldn't match up to those of a goddess.

"Now," Sephila continued, her gaze coming to rest on her disciples. "How would the two of you like to help your goddess out?"

"We're too tired from the one we just had!" Sui snapped.

"No-no, I don't mean that sort of help, Sui," Sephila said, spreading her hands in what she hoped was a conciliatory way. "Now that I have physical form, travelling is a tad bit slower and more problematic, you see. And with my two lovely sapphies having their own vessel..."

"By vessel, you mean the ship, yes?" Levana said, giggling. Their goddess referred to her golden pot as a vessel for lady juice, so it was as well to be sure.

"That vessel, yes," Sephila confirmed with a happy head bob, her ocean blue hair moving around in a way that looked a lot like a lover's duvet if combined with the motion of the ocean. It appeared to be fairly normal hair, but the way it moved defied explanation.

"You want a lift with us, right?" Sui suggested. "We're heading to Hourence and can't afford any more detours, we're already more than a day late... and our cargo was destroyed anyway, so I don't suppose it actually matters any more." She heaved a sigh and shook her head.

"Have you forgotten my promise, young Sui?" Sephila said, waggling a finger back and forth. Grasping their hands in her own, she bounded outside into the humid air of the island, leading them across to the wrecked Carval. "Ready for one of those miracles, my lovely sapphies?"

They nodded, a little uncertainly in Sui's case.

With but the wave of a hand, Sephila repaired both the ship and their cargo.

Levana had once read an old story about a magical genie who helped a young prince reclaim his kingdom. Part of that story had involved the two of them setting up shop in an abandoned palace in the sands, and the genie had used some form of powerful magic to rewind time in order to repair it. Seeing Sephila doing essentially the exact same thing here made her wonder if maybe there was more truth to that story than she had originally believed.

After some ten minutes of sustained concentration, Sephila collapsed to the sand, panting harder than if she had just had an all-nighter with two beautiful girls. "There... all done..."

Helping her up, Levana provided a shoulder for their goddess to lean on while she got her breath back. She stared at the pristine hull of the Carval. "Thank you so much, my lady! She's in better shape than before the wreck."

Sui wandered around the shoreline, nodding a few times as she inspected her beloved vessel, which now floated happily in the water after its sojourn onto the sand. "There's something to be said for magic, huh?" she muttered. Glancing at Sephila, she bowed her head. "Th-Thank you, my lady, we appreciate it!"

"You are both most welcome," Sephila said, managing to stand upright without Levana's help on the second attempt. She took a deep breath of wonderful oxygen. "Aaah, I'd forgotten how sweet the air tasted."

"There are certainly advantages to having a physical body," Levana said with a quiet laugh. In addition to the sweetness of the air—not least because the wind was blowing scents of bananas and coconuts towards them from the jungle—her nose was filled with the aroma of spices. With any luck, they could still reach Hourence in time to deliver them. She stared at Sephila.

"Shall we?" said the goddess, catching Levana's eye. "You say you're a day late, yes? I think we can do something about that." She had a glint in her eye that was anything but reassuring.

Swimming out to the Carval, they climbed up the rope ladder and Levana took Sephila below decks to find her something suitable to wear; it wouldn't do to go turning up to the capital city with a buxom and wholly naked goddess in tow. Sui, meanwhile, started the generator and headed for the helm.

Once Sephila was appropriately attired, albeit in a dress that was definitely a little tight around the chest, to Levana's mild annoyance, they got underway. Their destination: the Capital of the Sands, Hourence, greatest and grandest of cities on the mighty continent of Lafaire.

With any luck, they wouldn't be shipwrecked on another island. One goddess was more than enough for now.
