By the time that we had finally managed to quell our lusts, both Anput and Jahi were in desperate need of a real rest, while Leone - who had come by to check on what was happening before being roped in and 'forced' to join - just sat by the side staring blankly at the ceiling of the tent whilst enjoying the idle pleasure of my mouth one last time.
Her strong, sharp flavor of cinnamon flooded my mouth as she grunted above me, the Vampire grabbing my head and pulling me deeper into her body before eventually releasing me when she was finished, not wanting to continue whatsoever... even when I tried to entice her as I climbed onto her lap.
Pouting, I looked around at the three women and let out a slight huff of displeasure at how each one was currently utterly drained and unable to continue, with Jahi tiredly glancing my way and muttering "How the hells are you still wanting more..? I feel like you've drained me over everything that I possibly could have for the next week..."
I just tilted my head at that, only to roll my eyes as Anput groaned and tried to stand up, my mate saying "I swear she isn't just a pure Dogkin... the bitch has to have some Succubus in her or something... fuck fuck fuck... Leone, did she tire you out completely, or can we get some non biased, actual healing..? Fuck... ow..."
Anput winced as she climbed onto one of the crates, rubbing at her hips and shaking her head as I pouted at her, the tanned Jackalkin adding "I am NOT asking you, because I have a sneaking suspicion that I know where you're healing spell will land, Kat..."
"Hmph... No fun."
"No fun? My love, you've managed to make us all orgasm more today than we have this entire week... No fun... What's no fun is having a feeling that I can't get it up tonight, so after we eat I'll have to just head straight to bed!"
That made my pout grow 'worse' as the idea of just going straight to sleep almost made me physcially recoil at how utterly mundane and boring that sounded, only for Leone to idly say "That doesn't sound half bad... maybe some meditation, some mana practice, normal Dual Cultivation... all of that could get us sufficiently tired and not be physically demanding? Or we could also push past it and spar some... either way, I think I want to turn in early tonight..."
To emphasize her point, the Vampire yawned and slowly stood up, her amazing body - both for its feminine grace and sex appeal as well as the way she was a shower and not a grower with her futa side - being put on full display as she stretched, letting out a soft moan as her muscles were allowed to lengthen and increase the blood flow throughout her body, healing herself naturally.
Though the red glow that radiated from her palms was what really healed us all, a warmth descending onto our slightly aching and 'damaged' bodies, repairing the various tears, aching and other smaller things that were 'wrong' with our bodies; our blood flowed quicker, the muscles were knitting back together... all of us surrendered to this wonderful warmth and allowed it to heal us back to the top, though the mental exhaustion remained.
Even with the mental exhaustion though, Anput got up and stretched as well before saying "I got a few things to show you all, so come on~! Was able to get some work done rather quickly... and I am going to be completely honest here; I think I might actually want to take a week or so off from doing like... anything at all when this is over. Put my head down in a forge and just make things..."
Rubbing at her jaw, the Jackalkin nodded a few times and added "Too many ideas floating around in my head, and I was thinking about that contract that the Marquess brought up, y'know? Unless the thing that Belian said is waiting for us back at the Empire is serious, I think we really should start putting some stock into our future, y'know? Get some stuff planned out, figure out what we need to do now and what can wait... Start networking, investing, creating, preserving... all that and then some."
"Hng... I really don't want to think about all that right now... too much detail and depth for the current me, yeah? So c'mon, let's go see what you made, then maybe I can convince a few of the Demons to spar me..."
Jahi rubbed her temples before walking towards the entrance of the tent, only to stop and look down at herself as she muttered "Oh right, clothes...", which made all of us roll our eyes at how absentminded the Demoness was... though considering all that happened, I felt a tad proud that I had managed to completely sap away her brain power over however long its been...
Yes, that made me rather proud, especially considering this was one of the first times that I had seen Jahi so out of it after sex, even more so than whenever we fulfilled our darker kinks together... and that might just be because I was determined to keep going in order to slake my boundless thirst for more...
Which was seemingly actually boundless considering I was still craving more, but I sadly had to rein it in as we dressed and walked out into the camp, where a few of the Demons were lounging around chatting and meditating, and a couple of them raised their brows or smirked at us, which made Leone blush hard as the Vampire came to the realization that our tent wasn't soundproofed.
Approaching the forging area, Anput spun around and spread her arms wide, grinning at us all as she said "So I have two things to show to you; a prototype, and a completed product. Let's start with the prototype first. It was an idea that came to me to get the completed product fine tuned and perfected as much as I could, and here it is..."
Reaching for the cloth on one of the anvils, Anput pulled it away and revealed a...
"What... is it, exactly?"
Lifting it up, the Jackalkin proudly displayed... whatever it was... to us, showing off the fist sized, rounded pommel esque item that pulsed slightly with mana, the blue steel and gemstone laden thing not answering our question.
"It might already have an official name somewhere out in the world, but I call it a 'Channeler'. Attach it to a weapon, wear it around your neck, doesn't really matter. It's function is simple; it can become a medium for you and your mana, sort of like a pseudo wand or something. Funnel your mana in, charge it up, before using it to cast a spell. If you put it on a weapon, you can use it to forgo needing to use runes at all - just like a wand - but it can be placed on a two handed weapon and used to cast that way."
"It looks like a pommel for a sword, so is that where it would go?"
"Correct~! Put it on the bottom of the hilt, and cast a spell that way. Obviously not something complex, but imagine being able to catch someone off guard by resting your sword on your shoulder in a 'resting' position and firing off a bullet spell at them suddenly? Isn't that neat? Again, it's a prototype for now... no idea if it actually works as intended, or if it works at all, but hey, I learned something from it~!"
"And you used some more of the gemstones..."
The Jackalkin just ignored Jahi as she moved over to the other anvil, pulling away the cloth and revealing a foot long metal rod that was about a half inch thick on one end and slowly tapered into a flattened point on the other.
Blue metal was used just like with the prototype 'Channeler', and the same gemstone was used as well, but this time it was faceted into the thicker side of the wand, sparkling with power and a beautiful simplicity.
"This is the wand that I figured out how to make~! It actually... wasn't that hard, but it isn't completely finished yet. I kinda figured out what Belian was talking about when he said they were hard to make. There's two portions of its forging, right? The physical forging - making the wand itself and ensuring the materials are correct, properly forged and all that, but you also need to 'bind' the 'Core' to the rest of the wand; this gemstone needs to be... how to describe it..."
Tapping the wand against her jaw, Anput pursed her lips before just shrugging as she approached me, presenting the wand and continuing to inform us about something that looked rather simple, though we knew that it was anything but considering the mana that coursed through the metal wand, which was far more than normal weapons had - probably sitting easily at three times more than what our own blades had.
Obviously not Jahi's though, but still... it was close.
"The gemstone - this wands 'Core' - needs to be... wired into the rest of the metal to actually connect all the mana pathways properly and strengthen it some more. You can use it as is, but it wouldn't be efficient. So... yeah. I can't do that. You can. But, I did learn how to ensure everything else is done; the materials are properly attuned and combined, everything is working together except for the Core, it is durable... everything that I could do, I've done as good as I can at this moment, and I now think I could do it again without much issue. So when we get a break again, I can make a staff for you, Leone... if I had a Fire attuned gemstone or something else to act as the Core, anyways."
Taking the wand from my mate's hands, I nodded as I looked over the simple blue 'stick' that she had offered - not the most beautiful or intricate work she had made, but considering what it was made from and what it was meant to do, I could consider it amongst her best works so far.
"We just need a unattuned mana crystal and have Leone pour her mana into it to make it a Flame Crystal. It wouldn't be the highest quality Core though, so maybe she could get a wand as well to start..?"
"That would work, I guess..."
Flipping the wand around, I began to appraise the gemstone and take in the simplicity of its outside appearance, only to then extend my own mana into the cluster of raw Water Mana that rested within, a small frown tugging on my lips as I realize just how much work I would need to do to finish this wand properly...
