Crouching in the dark cave, huddled among the rocks and pebbles, she held herself still and quiet, hoping her pursuers had lost her trail. Her heart pounded in her chest, throbbing in her ears. Through the dark tunnels behind her she heard the sounds of the orc search party passing through the area. They seemed to pass, and it grew quiet around the frightened young woman. Slowly she rose to her feet. The cave was dark and still, silent but for the occasional hollow dripping of water. The darkness was thick, and even after weeks underground, her eyes could make out only the faint outlines of things. She stepped forward into the darkness. Small pebbles crunched beneath her tender feet. Stepping cautiously along the rocky ground, she made her way deeper into the cave, grabbing hold of the thin columns of rock that drooped from the cavern ceiling to the ground. The stone was cold and slimy and the going was slow and unsteady. Nonetheless, she pushed on, urged by the fear of being recaptured by the horrible orcs hunting her. Her toes slipped on the pebbles, which were growing colder and wetter. She felt water beneath her feet and stepped into ankle-deep water. A shallow lake lay ahead, stretching across the cavern floor. The stalagmites and columns grew sparse as she pushed her way through the knee-deep water. The water gradually got deeper and the bottom of her tattered blouse grew wet as the surface rose past her knees. Mina saw a cluster of tall stalagmites ahead began towards them, hoping to find land, or shallower water. As she pushed on, the thick water grew warmer upon her bare legs. The water surrounding the stony cluster writhed with dark, serpentine forms. Her fear was quickly overcome by a soft hissing that seemed to move through the air, calling out to her, urging her forward. She moved on as if entranced and as she neared the stalagmites she saw that the slithering beneath the surface was an immense mass of thick, vine-like seaweed. The warm water was growing deeper, its surface rising up her thighs, and her blouse clung to her skin. The calling whispered in her ears, spurring her on and pulling her closer to the writhing mass of plant life beneath the warm surface. Soft bunches of seaweed brushed by her legs and Mina looked down to see long, sinewy strands reaching out towards her. Tender whispers streamed through the air urging her towards the clusters of stone. She felt soft strands curl around her waist and sighed, her lower lip trembling as slimy leafage writhed about her bare legs in the warm water. A soft red glow emanated from the cluster of stalagmites. A wide, round rock sat in its center. Growing upon the rock was the heart of the enormous water plant. Water washed back and forth over the face of the rock, bubbling past the plant's heart. The voice called to her. The seaweed pulled Mina into the circle and stretched her body across the rock. She lay prone and trembling with desire as the plant's long, slimy appendages slid along her back, steam rising all around her from the hot water. Her cheek pressed down against the rock, Mina moaned with desire as soft clumps of leafage writhed along her back. She sighed deeply as long tendrils slid up onto the rock from all directions, slithering along her body and curling around her limbs. Entwined in slippery coils and spread upon the rock, she whined with lust as a thick, leafy mass of plant washed up the backs of her legs and up between them. Soft, slippery leafage slid along her inner- thighs and she gasped at the feel of it against her secret flower. It slid between her buttocks and up her lower back, snaking its way up her body. She felt a strong strand curl up around her shoulder and slip down beneath her front. She writhed in her slithering bonds and sighed with desire as it slid down between the front of her body and the rock. It crept under her breasts and glided down her stomach. She felt it slide beneath her belly and into the crevice between her thighs. Another tendril slid along her hip and down around her thigh, and the two plant appendages coiled around her upper thighs spreading them wide upon the rock. Mina moaned as slimy seaweed crept up behind her and slipped along her sex, pushing gently between her soft labia. Lubricating juices seeped from her body and her lustful groans echoed through the rock cluster as she felt soft plant sliding up into her. The lips between her thighs hugged the thick, leafy vines as they pushed into her, slithering inside her body. She lost track of herself among the writhing mass, leafy appendages penetrating all her orifices and massaging her insides. Gradually she climaxed, her body shuddering with pleasure, coming into the warm water and letting the plant smooth her out over the rock. Eventually she staggered to her feet and started walking awkwardly through the water, away from the circle of rocks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /~darkage_tales ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
