Silver by SupMario

Chapter 5

When I awoke the next morning, I reflected on the events of the
previous evening and my sleeping lover, lying beside me, sleeping
soundly.  The sun shone through the bay window and shown down upon me,
prompting me to get out of bed and start the day.

I shook Raven gently and she slowly opened her eyes and smiled up at
me.  "Mmm, good morning, Silver.  I love you."  She rose up into a
sitting position and we kissed, sending shivers down my spine. 

"Now I get to show you the shower.  I think you'll like it.  Let's go
to the bathroom and we'll shower together.  "

I dug through my closet until I'd found two robes and we put them on,
then headed for the bathroom.  It was occupied of course.  We waited a
few minutes and Diane stepped out, staring at us oddly, and then
headed back to her room.  We went in the bathroom and took turns
taking care of business and then we both stepped into the shower
stall.

I turned on the water and adjusted the temperature, and Raven loved
it.  "It's just like standing underneath a waterfall!  We both took
bars of soap and scrubbed each other down, paying extra attention to
all the right spots, until we were both squeaky clean and horny as
hell.  I got behind her and entered her from behind and she braced
herself against the shower wall as we rutted against one another,
letting out the sexual energy our bathing had produced.

When we finished, we toweled off and slipped our robes back on and
headed downstairs to breakfast.  Mom, Diane and Arianna were all three
eating in the dining room and Raven and I made our greetings and sat
down opposite them and began eating.

"So lovebirds, how are you two feeling this morning?"  Arianna asked
playfully.

Much to their amusement, Raven and I both blushed at the same time.
"We're feeling just great.   So are you staying long?"

Arianna drained her glass of orange juice before answering me.  "Well,
I don't see why not.  A few days won't hurt my studies too much."

Later that morning, Mom went off to paint and so the four of us
decided to go to the lake and take a swim.  It was a perfect day for
it, and Diane wanted to hear more about Raven and Arianna's world.

As we walked through the forest, I whistled tunelessly, the three
girls talking and giggling with each other, oblivious to anything or
anyone around them.  We arrived at the clearing near the lake and we
all sat down to rest and enjoy the view.

Diane glanced over at Arianna and asked: "Arianna, we know about Paul,
but what about me?  Is my other half in your world?  Have you ever met
her?"  Diane looked down at her lap, seemingly flustered at her
question.

Arianna looked at Diane seriously, and then gave her a sweet smile.
It was neat having a sister.

"Yes, I've met your other half before.  We are cousins, remember.  I
don't see your family that much, though.  I spend most of my time with
my studies, becoming a wizard isn't easy you know."  Arianna leaned
back and looked over at me, grinning at me.  I smiled back, Raven
resting her head on my shoulder, simply enjoying the afternoon.

Arianna looked over at me and grinned.  "Why don't I take all of you
over to our world for a visit?  Paul you and Diane could meet Silver's
family.  Diane would get to meet her other half, and then we could
maybe do a little sight-seeing.  What do you say?  With the time
difference between our worlds, we could spend several weeks over there
and still be back here before nightfall."

I grinned at Diane and we nodded to each other.  We got up and held
hands, and I made to use my ring, but Arianna stopped me.  "I'll
handle this."  She made a small sign with her hands, mumbled
something, and suddenly we were standing in a small forest clearing.

Arianna looked around and shrugged.  "Oops, way off target."  She
giggled to herself, then gestured again and we were in Grevlok's study
again.  He wasn't there, however.

"Well here we are.  Weird that Grevlok isn't here.  He's always
reading this time of day.  Well, follow me, everyone."  Raven and I
had seen this before, but we were still awed by the place.  Grevlok
had taken the stone tower and turned it into a beautiful place.
Statues, paintings, and all sorts of things were littered about the
place, giving it a festive, if strange, atmosphere.  Diane was loving
every bit of it.  

We climbed a flight of stairs and walked into a large room filled with
tables filled with books and journals.  "This is my laboratory, where
I study and practice.  This way."  Before we could get a really good
look at the place, Arianna led us out another door into a small
bedroom, which was taken up almost exclusively with a huge king-sized
bed.  Off to one side of the bed was a small bookshelf stuffed with
heavy volumes that looked to me like a set of encyclopedias.  Arianna
made a sweeping gesture around the room with her hand.  "This is my
bedroom."

She led us out into the corridor and turned to face us.  "Now that
you've had a guided tour, let's try and find Grevlok.  I'd like to let
him know that I'm back.  Raven would you be so kind as to show Diane
the library, I'm sure she'll love it."  Raven looked at her, nodded,
and led Diane back down the steps.

"What was that all about?"  I asked.

"Something doesn't feel right.  Let's check the lab."

We walked further up the circular stairway which led further up into
the tower and came once more to a landing, a doorway beckoning us.  We
went inside and found the place wrecked.  The tables were upturned,
books were strewn about, chairs smashed.  The walls were scorched
black, looking like a tremendous fire had burned the place.  It looked
like all hell had broken loose in the place.

Arianna stood is shock for a few moments, then stiffened.  She closed
her eyes and seemed to be concentrating on something.  After a few
minutes like this, she relaxed a little and opened her eyes.

"Grevlok has been taken by someone.  It looked like a lich!  Oh, this
is bad.  If..."  She trailed off, lost in thought.  She jerked back to
reality after a second.  "We've got to get to Horkshire at once.  The
council of wizards must be informed.  We have work to do."

We left the lab and went down to the library where Diane was, indeed,
going ape over the large collection of books Grevlok had collected
over the years.  "Well kiddies, we've got a problem.  Grevlok has been
taken by some creature and I've got to goto the Council of Wizards and
inform them.  If you'd like, I could spell the three of you back to
Paul's world, but I have to get going."

Raven and Diane both got up and came over to us, looked at each other
and nodded their heads.

Raven looked at me then Arianna.  "I think we'd like to help if we
can, Arianna."

Arianna looked at me questioningly.  I nodded my head yes.  "Same
here."

Diane simply said "sure."

Arianna looked around at us and said: "Ok then, let's get moving."

We left the tower and found ourselves on a low hill overlooking a
great forest.  Is this whole world one big forest?  I  began to
wonder.  We set off heading east, following a well-used road.  We were
walking at a fairly brisk pace, but enjoying the wondrous countryside
around us.  We passed many creatures on our way, some friendlier than
others, but no one bothered us.

I quickened my pace and caught up with Arianna, who had been walking a
bit ahead of us, lost in thought when she wasn't mumbling to herself.
I walked up abreast of her and smiled at her.  "Hi, sis.  Not to
complain or anything, but why don't you just zap us there instantly?
Wouldn't that speed things up tremendously?"  I was indeed puzzled by
this.

Arianna smiled back, pleased I had called her sister, then frowned at
my question.  "The council of Wizards put up a magic barrier around
the city so no one can just waltz in and out like that in their city.
Too many important artifacts and such.  So we have to hoof it I'm
afraid.  We can't make it the whole way today.  We'll be about half
way there once we reach Ralache.  Its just a little farmer's village
really, but it has a rather nice inn that we can stay in tonight."

I nodded my head in agreement and we continued our trek.

After a few hours, the sun started going down and it became steadily
darker.  After another half hour, however, we arrived at the village.
Arianna hadn't been jesting, it was pretty small.  There was a big
stone structure on the side of the road that was most probably the
inn.  We headed right for it, and as we got closer, I could read the
sign that hung over the big oak door.  It read 'Griffon's Head Inn.'
We walked inside and the place was warm and friendly in appearance.  

In fact, this place was *really* friendly.  There were people huddled
in groups drinking, dancing and singing, looking like they were have a
blast.  We sat down at a table in the back of the place and the
barmaid soon came over to us and took our order.  We ordered some food
and wine and she left to get our wine.  "Well this place seems
friendly enough."  Diane said, looking around.

Arianna explained.  "Yes, the innkeeper knows me and Grevlok live near
here, so we get free food and drink and rooms because we've helped him
from time to time.  I expect he'll be out here with our drinks himself
in a few minutes, once Sherry tells him I'm here."  Diane and I gave
her questioning looks.  "Oh, she's the barmaid who just took our
order.  She's his wife.  He does the brewing and cooking and she does
the rest.  Their both great friends.   They knew Silver quite well,
too.  He and Grevlok sat down some spells on this place that keeps out
most of the worst types."

Just as Arianna had predicted, a large middle-aged muscular man came
out of the kitchen with a large serving tray full of food and drink.
He headed over to our table and set down the heavy load while greeting
Arianna merrily.

"Ah Arianna, greetings dear child!  It's good to see you.  And what's
this?  Silver returned at last!  Greetings old friend!!"  He sat
goblets down in front of each of us and poured the wine himself,
filling them happily.  He nodded to Raven.  "And greetings to you as
well, tigriss."  He smiled at Diane, "and you dear lady I haven't had
the pleasure.  I'm Olaf, owner of this fair tavern.  I am at your
service."  

He nodded at Arianna and me and then left for the kitchen, carrying
the serving tray back with him after serving our food.  I looked
across at Arianna and grinned.  "He seems friendly enough.  Odd that
he accepted me as Silver without a second glance.  That might come in
handy someday."

Arianna nodded, grinning back at me, raising her goblet for a toast.
"A toast to good friends!"  We proceeded to drink way too much and
next thing I knew, I was stumbling into a small room with Raven,
dropping onto the bed like a lead weight.  Sleep was the only thing on
my mind at that moment, but Raven had different ideas.  It seems the
alcohol affected her differently then it had me.  She attacked me with
a vengeance, tearing away my clothes and kissing me savagely.  She was
half-tiger again, embracing me with strong arms, her fingers ending in
sharp claws that dug into my flesh as she led me down, passionately
fucking me to oblivion.  I was beyond reasoning, beyond pain,
experiencing only the pleasure my groin was sending to my
alcohol-hazed brain.  At some point, I lost consciousness.  When next
I awoke, my head was aching terribly, but to my surprise my body ached
just as equally.  

I opened my eyes to find Arianna leaning on the bed, sobbing softly
into my chest.  "Arianna... what's going on?"  I tried to sit up but
my muscles weren't responding.  Arianna looked up at me, looking
amazed and relieved at the same time, as she blinked away tears.
"Your alive?  Of thank the goddess!!  We thought we'd lost you.  How
do you feel?"

I looked around me, as I tried to gather my wits.  I was no longer in
the small tavern room, that was for sure.  I was in some kind of large
chamber full of beds, weird statues and stain glass windows.  In
short, I had no earthly idea where I was. 

"Um, I ache all over and I can't move, other than that I'm fine, I
suppose."  I grinned a little, trying to reassure her.  "Where are
we?"

She looked down at me.  "We're in Horkshire, at the temple.  You've
been on the brink of death for over two weeks.  The priests did all
they could, but it was a close thing.  We thought we'd lost you last
night.  I'm so glad your all right.  I couldn't handle losing you
twice!"  She buried her head in my chest and sobbed again, and I
quickly tried to comfort her.  "Hey I'm okay.  Why can't I move by the
way?"

"Oh its just to keep you from thrashing about too much.  I'll have a
priest come take a look at you.  Don't go away."  She chuckled as she
hurriedly walked away.  Well at least I'd made her laugh.  Now I just
wish my head would stop pounding like a jackhammer.

After a indeterminable amount of time, a long-robed tall fellow came
over to the bed with Arianna not far behind.  He came over to me and
placed one hand on my forehead and the other he stretched toward the
ceiling.  He looked extremely strange and I was about to ask him what
he was doing when I felt the aches in my head and body slowly drain
away, leaving me tired, but feeling fine.  He took away his hand and
faced Arianna.  "He will be fine now.  He should sleep for a few more
hours, but after that he may leave.  Good day."  

He left, and Arianna crossed over to the side of the bed and smiled
down at me.  "I know you have a billion questions right now, but try
to get some sleep.  Just say my name four times in a row when you wake
up, and I'll come get you.

I could hardly argue, as I was very tired and falling asleep already.
I slept for six hours and when I woke up I did what Arianna had
suggested and said her name four times.  I sat up in the bed and found
myself nude under the sheets.  Arianna showed up and brought with her
some clothes for me to wear.  "They belonged to Silver.  This was one
of his favorite outfits.  I'm sure it'll fit you perfectly."  She
turned around, giving me some privacy and I stared at the clothes she
had brought.  There was a blue shirt, black pants, black belt, silver
gloves, knee-high black leather boots, and a long silver cape.  I put
them on and indeed they fit like they had been custom made, which I
suppose, they had.

I cleared my throat and she turned around, and her eyes went wide.
"Wow, its uncanny.  You like just like him dressed like that.  Now
let's get out of here and get you some food.  I'm sure your starved."
I nodded my head as we walked down the corridor and out of the temple
altogether.  We were in a vast city filled with creatures and people
of all kinds.  We walked several minutes until we came to what looked
like a little tea shop and walked in.  It turned out to be another
tavern.  We ate a light meal while Arianna explained a bit more about
my illness.

"That night in the tavern all four of us had drank way too much and
apparently Raven took the alcohol rather badly and most of her senses
and inhibitions were dulled, leaving her animal side to deal with you.
It seems that even though she was really just intending to make love
with you, she accidentally hurt you rather badly.  In the morning when
she awoke, you were bleeding profusely, half-dead.  She came and got
us, then ran off, crying hysterically.  Luckily there was a traveling
priest staying in the inn that night that healed you enough so that we
could get you here and to the priests in the temple.  We almost lost
you."

I was shocked at first, then concerned.  "Where is Raven now?"

She frowned, looking away for a moment.  "We don't know, Paul.  She's
gone off somewhere.  I'm afraid she might think she killed you.  If
you want to see her again,"  and she put quite a bit of emphasis on
the 'if' part, "you'd better find her pretty quick."

I could see she blamed Raven for the whole thing.  "Arianna, it wasn't
her fault.  She must not have known what the wine would do to her.  If
it weren't for her lycanthropy nothing would have happened to me!!"

She looked at me, her face a mask of emotions.  "Oh I know that.  We
both know that.  But Raven probably doesn't see it that way.  Grevlok
and I tried to locate her, but we think only you will be able to find
her, since your in love with her.  Oh that's right, you wouldn't know
about Grevlok would you?  I went on an expedition to a dungeon with a
group sent by the council of wizards and we rescued him and killed the
lich.  It was rather exciting, I'll tell you more about it sometime."
She took a drink of her ale and sat quietly for a few minutes.

"What about Diane?  Where is she?"

"Oh she went home while you were recovering in the temple.  She'd had
enough of this world, I think.  Once I told her you'd be fine she had
send her home."

"Well what now?"  I was still thinking about Raven.  Would I ever see
her again?

"I suggest we go back to the tower and consult Grevlok.  He has
something in mind that might help you find Raven.  And besides, I need
to get back to my studies."

We walked to a large circular building and went inside.  A stout, old
fellow teleported us to Grevlok's tower after Arianna showed him some
kind of medallion.  She pointed towards the study and stormed off deep
into the tower.  I walked into the study and found Grevlok waiting for
me.  "Ah good to see your feeling well again, young man.  I can see
you have many questions for me.  Pull up a chair and I'll do my best
to answer them for you."  He smiled and put his book down, lighting
his pipe.  He began puffing on it as I sat down across from him, ready
to ask him about Raven and Arianna.
