Tanya was just starting to groggily wake up when Jen pushed her way through the door, closing it with the toe of her boot and bringing the tray of food to the bed. The younger sister stared blearily at her older sibling. "What time is it?" Tanya asked, rubbing a bit of the sleepiness out of her eyes. "It's about half past noon; you were asleep all morning." Jen set the tray down on her sister's blanket-covered lap, and grinned. "Eat up, sis -- we've got a busy day ahead of us." Tanya gave Jen a kiss on the cheek and thanked her for the breakfast, which she quickly ate. Afterwards, she got dressed in her usual attire, a rusty-red tunic and navy blue pants, brushing her long, back-length blue-black hair before handing the brush to her sister. Jen knew Tanya wanted her to brush her own hair, but she felt she'd always looked good with her hair (orangey-gold and just a little longer than shoulder-length) just a bit messy, so she simply put the brush away. Her sister frowned at her in a mock-disapproving sort of way, but hugged Jen anyway. Jen wore a deep violet tunic and purple tights, with knee-high, brown leather boots. She still had the map tucked safely away in her generous bosom, which was verging on the D-cup mark. Her sister, though three years younger, had ample cleavage of her own with large-ish C-cup breasts, but not quite as large as Jen's. After Tanya was dressed, the two set out for the market once more, getting the supplies they'd need for their journey to the temple in the marshlands. The marshlands had a nickname: `The Swamp of Lust' -- though no one knew now why it was called that, as everyone just avoided the marshlands altogether. The sisters bought food, some extra clothing, food, some sacks for holding the food, some sacks to hold treasure in (though they didn't need many -- just a few to replace the ones that had already worn out on them), and some flasks for water and other liquid. It was late afternoon when they finally arrived back at the inn, hauling everything they'd gotten up to their room and dumping all of it, minus some of the messier and more delicate food items, onto the bed. They had only a few gold pieces left after getting all of their supplies, but knew that if the map was real, it would all be worth it. They sorted the food and clothing into the different sacks, filling up the flasks at the bar and tossing the worn-out sacks away. They bought dinner and ate it in their room while they studied the map some more, making up some wild stories about why the temple was built and what was inside of it. Eventually, it grew late, so they decided to pack it in and get some rest before they set out the next morning. Neither sister got much sleep, however, as they were both too excited to fall asleep easily. It was mid-morning when Jen awoke, feeling something warm, wet, and cloth-covered rubbing against her thigh, near her knee. She cracked her eyes open a little, and saw her sister, breathing hard, face flushed a deep red and eyes shut tightly. Suddenly, she realized what was rubbing against her beneath the covers and blushed a bit, deciding it better to not move than to embarrass her sister. Jen closed her eyes again, feigning sleep as Tanya rubbed her crotch against the thigh between her legs for another minute or two before finally stopping, shivering in climax and making Jen's thigh even more wet. The older sister waited a few minutes, listening for her younger sibling's breathing to go back to normal, then started stirring. Tanya gave an embarrassed gasp, quickly retreating to her side of the bed as Jen `woke up'. Jen turned over onto her back and sat up, stretching as she pretended to be oblivious of the wet patch of skin just above her right knee. "'Morning, Jen." Tanya's face was still flushed a little red from earlier. "G'morning, sis -- ready to set out for the marsh castle?" Tanya smiled and nodded. "I'll go get us some breakfast then -- sit tight, kiddo, I'll be right back." Jen got out of bed and quickly dressed, running out the door and down the stairs to get breakfast. While she was gone, Tanya got dressed as well, changing into a fresh pair of panties. She'd just sat back on the bed when Jen re-entered with two food trays, setting one down on the bed for Tanya. While they ate, they discussed the map some more. "So, we're going south?" Jen nodded. "The safe-path that the map shows is at the south-most part of the Swamp. After we get there, we can start trekking northwest, to the castle, or temple, or whatever it is." They finished their breakfast, then gathered their things, and set off for the south-most entrance to the marshlands. After several days of traveling, they came upon the entrance. Jen studied the map for a moment, then looked ahead at the dark, shadowed tunnel of trees before them. "This looks to be it." "You're SURE we can't go on the much brighter and safer-looking path?" Tanya asked nervously. "Positive. According to the map, that one --" Jen pointed to the brighter entrance of the marshlands to the right of the one she was facing, "-- leads to `certain doom'. And we want to stay alive, remember?" Tanya grumbled, casting a last, longing look at her preferred route through the Swamp, but followed Jen into the deeply-shadowed, much smaller entrance anyway, ducking under the low-hanging branches. A couple of yards inside of the thickly-wooded tunnel, the ceiling of branches gradually rose until it was well above the sisters' heads, thinning out a bit as well as the path greatly widened out. The sunlight filtering down from high above made speckled patterns on the ground below. They traveled on for a time, following the twists and turns of the path. As it grew dark, they stopped, setting up camp at the side of the large path. Jen went to gather some of the deadwood at the edge of the path. A sweet-smelling fragrance wafted lightly through the trees. Meanwhile, Tanya set up a shelter -- it was barely a tent, but at least it would keep rain off of them. After clearing a patch of ground, they started a fire and roasted some of the food they'd brought on a pair of improvised spits. Later: "So, how far away from the temple are we, sis?" Tanya took a bite out of the well-done meat on the end of her stick. "About two days, judging from the distance we've traveled so far. Might be less if the road stays as barren as this, though." Jen, almost having finished eating her portion of food, took a swig from one of the flasks they'd brought with them. "If all goes well, we'll be able to get to the temple, loot it a bit, then return to town without incident." They both grinned at each other, then finished up their dinner, retiring to the tent to sleep for a while, each one eager to get started the next morning. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This story was written as an adult fantasy.
