  Skill points - 24

  Seems I got some levels in poison resistance, probably from whatever Kayalett injected into me st night and it also seemed my two priestesses gave me a few skill points while I was... Distracted.

  My distraction in question rolled her spider abdomen around to free herself from the cocoon she'd decided to trap me in after our night together. It was cozy in a 'had my face buried in her chest' kind of way.

  Once Kayalett was free she pulled on some webbing that held me and I fell unceremoniously into her awaiting arms.

  "Good morning husband I pray you slept well."

  Dam she somehow manages to get that morning beauty look really easily.

  "Like a baby."

  "I'm gd. And thank you for st night." There was some hesitation in her voice so I freed myself from her grasp and gave her a kiss.

  "It was wonderful for me as well don't worry."

  Kayalett returned my kiss and gave my ass a squeeze. "Oh before I forget."

  She opened her storage and pulled out a small bottle with a milky liquid that reminded me of a thin smoothie. Kayalett then drank the potion with a wince. "Silver silk that tastes like crap."

  "What was that for?" I asked.

  "Centaur tradition says I need to get Araths permission before I can get pregnant, and let's just say that I might be very fertile right now so best not to chance anything."

  Oh so it's like a morning after potion.

  "Makes sense." I was still naked but wasn't particurly bothered. "Shall we go tell the others?"

  Kayalett brightened and furiously nodded. So with that we left the room and I gave a silent prayer for whoever had to clean up after us. I hope they can use the leftover silk for something.

  In the main room Willow was still in the middle where I'd left her st night but was awake and groaning through a hangover. Arath noticed our entrance instantly and was by my side very quickly with the nervous energy of someone who wanted to ask something without being to forward.

  "Kayalett can you heal Willow over there?" Arath asked her eyes not leaving me.

  "Of course head mare." The arachnid replied dipping off with a bow.

  That just left me with my red centaur.

  "Soooooo." Arath started while giving me some clothes that were very simir to what I'd seen the fairies wearing, by that I mean they were serviceable but I wouldn't want to actually use them as my dungeon raiding clothes. "How'd it go?"

  "It was great." I answered giving my mare a big hug that seemed to make her melt before pulling the pants up so I was at least somewhat decent.

  "That's good." Arath sighed pulling me back into another hug. "Very good."

  Deciding to tease her just a little bit I brought her head down so I could whisper into her ear. "Well my little mare, Kayalett mentioned something really interesting." I let her stay for a second enjoying the way her body stiffened. "Something that made her drink a potion this morning."

  That had a reaction as Arath pulled herself up straight. I stayed where I was and was greated by her chest that unfortunately was covered by a very scratchy shirt.

  "Is it true?" She all but demanded towards Kayalett who was just helping Willow stand.

  The brown centaur looked a little green but was at least getting her hooves under her. Kayalett waited until Willow was standing without her assistance before turning back to her head mare.

  "It is correct Arath. Lazarus is not affected by the curse."

  Letting go of me Arath proceed to do a little dance in a circle that I found absolutely adorable before straightening up like it had never happened.

  Willow took a few steps on her unsteady hooves as Kayaletts hands glowed a soft green from her back. Evidently her hangover was leaving her as the mare soon had a look of happiness on par with Araths.

  "This is great news Arath. Not that I expect it would have been hard for him to remove it anyway if it did effect him but your herd can now grow and more importantly we can be mothers."

  Arath brought Willow into a big hug smothering the smaller mare into her chest like she had for me.

  "Yes we can Willow."

  Ah. I now feel a little bad. Didn't think the girls felt this strongly about children. That might be something we could fit into our lives I hope. Just need to mentally prepare to be a father.

  Kayalett stayed quiet just watching the other two. She looked like she wanted to ask something but didn't want to bring down the mood. Before I could ask her Arath excitedly picked me up and pced me on her back.

  "Seveneth has invited us to breakfast and I was waiting for you two to wake up before we left. Well that and I needed Kayalett to heal Willow." She made a dash to the door but stopped just as she made contact with the handle. "This doesn't leave the four of us agreed?"

  ""Agreed."" The other two replied.

  All three gave me pointed looks.

  "Understood. At least until one of you guys show signs." I said running a hand along Araths horse back.

  Letting out a snort Arath opened the door and took off at a trot that was quickly followed by Willow and Kayalett, the two centaurs didn't go full sprint so the arachnid could keep up but I could tell they wanted to burn some of the extra energy they had this morning after the news.

  Once a tree that was easily bigger than any of the others came into view Kayalett broke off to head in it's direction while Arath and Willow aimed in the opposite direction. It wasn't till Arath grabbed my hands and positioned them securely around her midriff that I understood what they wanted.

  Well that and my centaur riding skill went mad trying to tell me how to position my legs to be more comfortable for both myself and Arath. A position that I could feel pulling on the muscles inside my thighs.

  "Are you ready my love?" Arath asked, turning her human half around to look at me.

  "Always." I replied giving her an affectionate squeeze but keeping my hands secured to her body.

  With that my two mares started off at a trot that turned into a gallop before bursting out into a full sprint. I was lucky I'd held on tight as I had because without a saddle riding a horse when they were in a dead sprint is bloody hard.

  The girls on the other hand let out cheers and shouts as they ran through the forest jumping over roots and ducking under low branches that poked into their path without slowing down. They both seemed to be having a silent race as they ran trying to pass the other over and over. Arath had the definite advantage being the bigger of the two but she was also way faster when she actually tried. Being nice she did let Willow catch up when she noticed this different in speed.

  Centaur riding 7 acquired.

  Dam I'm going to have to do this more often especially if it makes the girls this happy.

  "Comfortable my lord?" Willow called out as they slowed down to a trot just at the edge of the vilges outskirts.

  "Yeah. I think that's the first time I've ever ridden either of you guys as you've gone for a run. Well except for that fight yesterday."

  Willow blushed at that and began to fiddle with the tips of her hair.

  Oh yeah that was the first time I'd ridden on her back.

  "Sorry about suddenly jumping on your back then. Forgot to ask you in the confusion." I apologized scratching the back of my neck.

  "No no no you are my husband you don't need permission. I was just going to ask if it's all right with you and our head mare if you could ride me on our return?" Willows voice got quieter and quieter as she reached the the end of her sentence.

  Arath was almost to quick to respond. "Of course he can ride you back."

  My brown mare brightened at the answer.

  "It will be good for both of you my love. I can't be too possessive of you." Arath whispered to me.

  Throwing my leg over her back I dismounted my red head giving her a light sp on her rump. "You definitely showed your willingness to share st night."

  She gave me a mock gre but rolled her eyes after I returned her with a look of innocence. Willow giggled behind her hand at our interaction but quickly because very shy as I approached her.

  "Now Arath likes it a little rough." I stopped for a second just for the innuendo to sink in. Arath scoffed while Willow took a second to understand but when she did I couldn't tell which one of them was a brighter shad of red. "But how would you like to be ridden?"

  Willow smiled softly as she got down on her knees. "Softly my husband, and preferably alone. Although I don't mind Arath joining us."

  Well of all my girls I least expected Willow to rise to my jokes.

  "Okay." I stumbled over my next words trying to recover from my surprise.

  Willow y a hand on her back with the silent question of if I was getting on. I shook my head and took the offered opportunity.

  Unlike Arath, Willow was a little softer along her back due to the added padding from being a home body most of her life. Something I hadn't noticed when I'd jumped on quickly during our fight.

  "Where would you like me to hold?" I asked once I was on her back.

  Willow kept her gaze on Arath as she stood a few steps away watching the two of us. She seemed to be waiting for permission for something as I was adjusting to be more comfortable. Once she realized Arath wasn't going to stop us she turned around to look at me.

  "Ummm the same as you do for Arath I don't ummm I've never done this before."

  "Here." Arath interrupted coming closer and forcing Willow to her feet. "Get him to hold right here." She leaned behind Willow and directed my arms to loop just beneath ber chest. "We'll start off slow so you can get use to his weight just make sure he doesn't fall off."

  Willow nodded holding her hands over my own like she was afraid I wouldn't be able to maintain my position even though I'd come here on Araths back.

  My head mare nodded and then set a pace of a slow jog that Willow could easily keep up with for our return. Willow wouldn't remove her hands for the entire way back and would look back to make sure I was still there every minute or so. Not like she couldn't feel my weight on her equine half but still I wasn't going to say anything.

  Centaur riding 8 acquired.

  The return did however take significantly longer because of this pace but I didn't mind. The skill increase was a nice bonus but I had a feeling this was some type of centaur family bonding to go for a run together, or in our case go for a run with me on their back. I wonder if I could get some speed skills and actually keep up with them myself? Something to think about ter my pn was still to use my current points to get Arath to being a Primordial Padin and maybe the others if it turns out to be beneficial.

  All too quickly the tree we left Kayalett at came back into view, signaling the end of our stroll. Both girls seemed contempt for the moment and not bursting with energy like they had been when they found out they could be mothers in the future so I chalked it up as a win.

  Willow didn't seem to want me to get off as we approached the door so I didn't say anything. What I did notice was a bit of shouting from inside. All three of us gave each other inquisitive looks when we heard it but made our way in regardless.

  What we found inside had me completely on edge as Kayalett was invisible hidden in one corner of the room while Feru and Seveneth stood in the middle in a heated argument.

  "You don't understand Seveneth! He's a god. A fledgling god but one nonetheless!" Feru yelled hovering just a bit higher that the Amazonian Paragon.

  Well. Not how I expected this to go.
