Esszie seemed to think that was as good idea as any, though she did once again say that Izusa's best bet would be to stay here and be a part of her community.  But she said it without any real hope that the kitsune would change her mind.  She did however send Izusa back out with one other task.  She sent the kitsune out to the fields outside of the little town to find Tera and communicate the message that the blonde woman would be needed as Esszie's bedwarmer for the night after all, and also that she was to donate her copy of the tome of Pandora to the priestess as a gift in exchange for the pregnancy.  The blonde woman seemed pleased by the first bit and quite accepting of the second, stating it was a trade that she more than made out the better on.<br/><br/>Tera joined Esszie and Izusa for dinner in the naga's kitchen that night, and aftewards the trio sat and spoke of the surrounding wilderness for a while.  Then Esszie and Tera retired to the upstairs and Izusa settled on the couch under a soft blanket.  The sounds of naga futa fucking a human woman woke her up a few times but eventually some time in the night they too went to sleep.  Her dreams were vivid and deep, Esszie pumping gallons of futa cum into her, onto her, drowning her in lust.  Tera, belly swollen at nine months as she was ready to pop with the life that Izusa had granted her.  Dark shapes moving outside of the corners of her eyes, ever mysterious, but hungry, not for her flesh, but for her sex.  Through all of it, the desire, the lust.<br/><br/>She woke up in the morning with a wet and tingling sex and nipples so hard they ached, and a feeling of longing.  Almost as if her body missed the way it felt yesterday morning, sore, well fucked, and drenched in cum.  A feeling that only deepened as she heard Esszie and Tera coming down stairs.  The first looking pleased with herself, happy, and clean, the second an absolute wreck of bed hair, disheveled clothing thrown on hastily, and body splattered with wet and dry semen.  Tera smiled and said good morning before leaving the house and Esszie said she'd make Izusa a meal before the priestess had to leave.<br/><br/>Over breakfast, Izusa was given directions on the right path to follow that would lead her to Jamahrone, and Esszie said she could spare enough dried rations so that Izusa wouldn't have to worry about it as long s she didn't dwaddle on the road.  Izusa's departure from the little community an hour later was relatively without fanfare.  Esszie giving the kitsune a hug and waving as Izusa headed along the dirt path leading out of town with a relatively full back pack.  Once the small community was out of sight Iber decided to return and chat with Izusa about her experiences and encourage the kitsune to read more of the tome of pandora when she could.<br/><br/>from morning till nearly sundown Izusa walked, realizing how lonely she was.  How she'd always been around other people and the flighty and often invisible and missing fairy wasn't much for company the way other people were.  But she finally stopped when she found a hollow outcropping of rocks that would shelter her on three sides.  She built a fire and then relaxed taking off her boots and rubbing feet that were sore and blistered, unused to an entire day of walking.  Thankfully calling upon her goddess, her healing magic was able to soothe the pain and lessen the ache in her body, letting her drift off to sleep even though somewhere far in the distance she heard a wolf howling, or at least what she thought might be a wolf.  Her dreams were vague and faded when she awoke in the morning, light dew covering her hair and blanket.  The pre-dawn light was enough for her to break camp and continue on her path, questioning already the wisdom of setting out on a long path all alone.<br/><br/>Boredom and tedium were her greatest enemy and she had naught but her prayers and the book of Pandora, read with one hand while she walked, to alleviate the monotony.  That was until very late in the afternoon of the second day she spied a shape in the distance, along the same path as her but coming her way.  The area was lightly wooded so it wasn't so far away that she knew she hadn't likewise been spotted as she turned a bend in the road.  The large hulking figure looked like an ogre of some sort or massive man, it was unclear exactly.  But she had a choice to make, dash into the woods and hide or encounter the large man like shape that lumbered towards her.<br/><br/>
