I love River Vela is not really planning to fix the texts though, she knows that would not go over well. The astral plane that she is now sipping energy in has many corpses of dead gods (those no longer worshipped) and other intereting things. The gods often don't percieve a threat as long as their worship is not disturbed. Vela also when confronted earlier by cleric and paladin just left, so she is clearly not a threat right lol

@Vela Nanashi And with that, I'm up to date. just finished part 7.

First, there is a thing that surprised me. Vela seems to think she has to consume the Orcs if she kills them. I wonder why? if she wants to stop them, but doesn't want to absorb their memories, she could kill them and burn their remains. I wonder why that option doesn't occur to her.

When she went back to Kenneth, I half expected him to be dead and for her to only meet his grandchildren. It looks like three years have passed, but I wondered what would have happened if 100 years had passed and Kenneth had just died and she had missed it. Could be an interesting plotline.

After reading 7 parts now, I have two observations to share.

1) I think the smaller parts make the story much more accessible. To me it makes perfect sense that for example the dragon encounter is its own part and now the orc attack is another part. I feel that in other stories you might have just posted this as one part, but these are just two very naturally separated parts and the readability of the story definitely profits from that.

2) Of all the stories you wrote, this one might be the best one to start with the Vela-verse for a new reader. Since Vela is new in the world as well and we (mostly) experience it through her eyes, we are very naturally introduced to the world building rather than the story assuming we already know a lot. Compared to Sorceresses Surprise for example, where blue and red orcs suddenly just show up, I feel like here we are actually introduced to what blue orcs are like as Vela encounters them for the first time. That's great for first time readers.

So if you ever wonder which story you would recommend a new reader should read first, I'd say this one. Both points I listed are great for a new reader.

Vela may find their memories bad, but there are multiple reasons she still consumes them:

She wants to know what else they are aware of, learn more of their world, and also was looking to see if maybe there were people they had that she could save, she also found that patron, so her consumption of those people was worth it for that, a worthy adversary who wants to destroy the world/universe, sure maybe not really her job to fix that, but she would have been annoyed if she did not learn of this and the world was suddenly destroyed.

I toyed briefly with her meeting Kenneth the sixth, but Vela protested that cruelty, it may still happen later though

1. is a given it is easier for readers not easy exactly but easier.

2. yeah I suppose it is a good introduction to the universe even if Vela does not feature in other stories

This story is far from finished or told I still have several points I need to eventually reach that is in Vela's history so I will be trying to write more soon

Also I know I flit from one perspective to the next here, not a single body, there are obviously a lot of stuff happening with all the other bodies in the time between these events I show, it might be amusing to show the perspective of just one butterfly flitting from one flower to the next for a whole day and night and then next day not really noticing much else, but that might bore the readers

Vela:

Dinner is amazing at the tavern and they remember to not feed me everything of one thing, but I get a lot of food with huge variety, and drinks too, I also listen to stories by the patrons and chef and tavern keeper as they explain where things came from and how each thing is special and the story behind it and I am so very happy. I also add to some of the stories what I now from what I have learned, when I notice a gap in knowledge, often from dead people, but also stories told by other people, and I also explain to a farmer how he could improve yields of his crops, and I ask if I can help there by enhancing his soil, and he is enthusiastic about that so I spread to his farm, the plants get the things they were missing.

Eventually though it is late and the children get to stay with a sitter as Kenneth and Diana take me to their home and bedroom.

I absorb my dress into me again and stand naked before them feeling a whole lot happier naked than clothed.

Diana's eyes go wide and she blushes and hurries out of her clothes, while Kenneth smiles and takes his time, clearly wanting to let Diana get to know me first, she moves up to me caressing my skin and looks a bit unsure "I am sorry I am not as flawless as you" she says her hands trembling and tears start to well up in her eyes.

I caress her face "I don't know what you are talking about, you are gorgeous to me" I say honestly, sure she has a few scars and stretch marks, but that is natural "if there is anything you really want me to heal though I can, but know that to me you are perfect just like you are."

She breaks into full crying and babbles all the flaws she feels she has and Kenneth has gotten out of his clothes and hugs her from behind "you are perfect to me as well, but if you want Vela can help, she healed a bunch of stuff on me that was not her fault when she hit me a bi too hard, and I could use some help with my creaky joints and a few new scars too, if you don't mind that Diana."

Diana giggles and keeps crying "that is mmm only fair, but don't you dare change his or my birthmarks."

I laugh at that "I won't, you both tell me all the things you want me to change and I will do so, and heal any injures or damage your bodies have that you are not aware of as well, and lie down on the bed please you can't be standing for this."

I listen to them both mention things they want to change and also disagree about some things, like Diana wants bigger breasts, as she feels mine are bigger and more beautiful, but Kenneth does not want hers as big as mine, as he likes them that way and he does not want her nipples as small and tight as mine as he likes the slightly bigger ones she has, Kenneth wants a bigger cock and Diana does not want it as big as he wants it to be, but they both agree on some size changes. When the negotiations are done they lie down and look a bit nervously at me.

I get into bed with them and kiss them both before I caress them and my hands melt into my true form spreading to envelop them and I draw their minds into me so they don't feel what I am doing to their bodies. I do a full rejuvenation of their bodies, I find some malignant cells, tumours, and unfriendly bacteria and viruses, I introduce some more friendly ones that will help their bodies and also populate their digestive tracts with myself, so I can consume excess food from them and cure poisons and diseases. I won't be monitoring their bodies particularly much from there though, just be part of the microbial flora or fauna in there.

I adjust bones to be even and repair fractures, fix cartilage and sinews, heal livers damaged by too much alcohol and sugar, eat excessive fat and redistribute fat to be where it is healthier and looks better, heal scars, adjust other tissues, to reshape their bodies, all in all it does not take very long and they are now as healthy as their children, maybe healthier, but I may do this for their children later.

I release their minds back into their bodies and pull back to watch them feel their own bodies and each other and I notice how excited it makes both of them they kiss and hug and cry and laugh, I don't understand the crying, but the rest of their expression show joy and relief, I am pretty sure at least.

Diana breaks her embrace with Kenneth "I want to make love to Vela now, though I have not made love to a woman in my life" she says and I smile "let me show you" and she nods, I kiss her and slide my body against her and caress her gently letting her feel my hands on her now perfect rejuvenated skin, she kisses back passionately and her hands caress me back, I can smell her excitement, her wetness and my body is responding too getting ready for making love. I can also smell Kenneth's excitement, hear both of their breathing and heart beats too, and the whole wonderful scent mixture of our bodies and pheromones, the scent of precum as Kenneth's foreskin opens.

I gently guide Diana to the bed and kiss her nose, her cheeks, her neck and ear, then trail kisses down to her breasts kissing and sucking on her nipples and playing with her slightly larger breasts to let her feel them, I then trail kisses down her belly and inhale and exhale on her pubic mound, grabbing her legs and spreading them a bit wider as I move to exhale hotly against her wet pussy lips I lick and suck on them to tease her a bit more as I gaze up at her eyes, and while keeping her pussy lips in my mouth and her clitoris as well I lick from below her vaginal opening darting in before licking past her pee hole to finally lick her clit, sliding my wet tongue under her clitoris hood and she moans and grabs her own breasts, her eyes dart to Kenneth who is smiling wide and his eyes shine with love for her. He is watching her face not what I am doing.

I lick Diana's clit but I want to tease her a bit and not immediately bring her to orgasm, so I get her right to the edge and then lick into her pussy and I love her moan of slight frustration and need, and I keep at this making her squirm for me, and then when I feel I have tormented her long enough I slide my tongue under her clitoris hood from tip and then all the way down and into her pussy until I reach the sweet spot deep inside, sure she can not do this for me as her tongue is only human but mine can be as long as I desire and as my tongue flows over her clit and past her pee hole and up into her sliding against her sweet spot massaging it I reach fully deep and lick her cervix and then as I do that I moan and slide my tongue back and forth and her legs try to clamp around me as she cums and squirts, she squirms trying to get away but I don't let her as she cries out from an intense orgasm, I hold her there and continue pleasuring her, I know her body can take it as I made sure it could, I keep stimulating her until I can sense that the intense pleasure starts to have too much pain in it and I stop moving letting her body slowly gently drift down from the orgasm, her trembling hands soon find my hair and ears and caress me and her eyes are full of tears again and surprised lust, love, something like that.

Diana finally finds her words "please I need you to kiss me and then I need to try to do what you did to you" Kenneth laughs at that and I suck her pussy lips and pull back with a pop and slide up over her, her legs wrap around me as I kiss her, a wet sloppy passionate kiss "mmm my turn now" she moans into the kiss and I let her push me onto the bed and she slightly clumsily mostly due to her muscles being all trembling kisses me and trails kisses and caresses down my body, she spends a lot longer on my breasts and nipples and I moan as she really knows how to make that feel good, I make a note of her clearly liking her breasts played with, I will have to do that more next time.

She trails kisses licks and nibbles down my body and blushes as she inhales and exhales on my pubic mound and she is more gentle with grabbing and spreading my legs, but I want to show off a little so I pull my legs up and to the sides of my body until my feet support my head and I reach my arms around my legs to caress her hair and ears. Diana blushes and looks to Kenneth "Vela is just too hot for words" and Kenneth chuckles "yes but she is not as hot as you."

She shakes her head and inhales and exhales on my wet pussy and then starts licking and kissing my pussy lips, a little unsure at first, but then with conviction and sucks my pussy lips into her mouth, but can't quite reach my clit before adjusting her position a bit and then she tries to push her tongue deep into me, but she can't, I make a note that she loved my tongue deep in her, I moan as her effort still feels good even if she can't quite reach my sweet spot in a meaningful way, but she licks up to my pee hole and licks very softly and I giggle moan as that is a bit ticklish, then she focuses hard on my clit and unlike me she keeps focusing there and not moving and very quickly gets me to cry out and cum for her, and she keeps at it even as I squirt and my legs tremble, I move my hands from caressing her head to grab my breasts and pinch my nipples and also hold my legs as she pushes my orgasm to new heights, I don't try to squirm away as I love this, I don't hurt, she seems to want me to beg for mercy or in some other way show her I have had enough, but although I squirm a bit and squirt repeatedly having orgasm after orgasm I don't need her to stop, she can keep doing this forever for me, if she wants.

I don't really know how long she keeps at this but Kenneth finally pulls her up to kiss her before saying "hey you can't defeat her sexually, trust me I have tried, let me show you another thing you can do to her though that not all women can handle but she can" he takes Diana's hand "hold your fingers like this and slide them up inside her all four then massage her front wall with your fingertips, no nails though."

Diana slides her four fingers into me and I moan as she starts to massage my sweet spot and I cry out in an even more intense orgasm, she really loves this and leans down to kiss me with her fingers inside me and I moan into our kiss and say "you can aah put your whole fist inside mmmm me, but no ooh punching." she looks to Kenneth who nods "I have done that with her, and one other woman who asked me to."

Diana blushes and struggles a little bit to get her fist into me and Kenneth says "just holding it there is intense I am told but you can gently rotate and slide deeper, just be careful to not push too deep, that can hurt, but Vela seems to like me spreading my fingers to rub her cervix, the other woman did not like even gently getting that deep though."

Diana watches me as I glaze with sweat from her fisting of me and spreading her fingers out inside me to caress my cervix, I love how intense this is, much more intense than Kenneth's cock, and Diana is rougher on me with her fist and fingers than he was, finally she pulls her hand out and shakes it "I am going numb, you win" she says and laughs blushing "Kenneth... I... I want you to try this with me later, gently, but now I really need to make love to you, for us both to, um how do we both make love to you?"

Kenneth chuckles a bit "well I can't fuck both of you at the same time..."

I speak up "let's pleasure his cock with our mouths first, kiss each other around him" I say and Diana blushes and nods and Kenneth gets into a seated position with the pillows and spreads his legs for us, and I move up with Diana and start licking and kissing and sucking on his balls, Kenneth moans and Diana looks unsure for a moment if she wants to do it but then joins me and we take one ball each to suck on as his cock jumps and weeps precum for us, I slurp the precum that reach his balls up and then release his ball and lick up his shaft to get the delicious precum, Diana sees what I am doing and does the same, as we reach his cock's head covered partially by his foreskin I lick and then kiss the exposed tip of his cock head and then gently pursing my lips I have his cock head penetrate my lips and I push his foreskin back letting my lips conform with soft tightness around his cock's head and when it reaches inside my mouth I start licking him and he groans loudly and his hands are now caressing and gently holding our heads I pull back and Diana tries to do that kiss I did and does it somewhat well and Kenneth moans louder, then I playfully push in to take his cock from her and then kiss Diana around his cock's head and she gets into the playful fighting for who gets to suck his cock. Kenneth moans even louder and we both look up at his funny expressions and his lustful loving gaze of absolute pleasure and bliss. His cock keeps jumping and weeping precum, tears of joy, for us.

Then Kenneth moans desperately "mmm aaah if mmm you do oooh not stop I will cum mmm."

I look to Diana and she looks to me and we don't stop we both giggle moan though and as we kiss around his cock's head and lick it we both feel him erupt a lot of cum into our mouths, she makes a slight face, probably not liking the slight bitterness, but we keep kissing and licking sharing his cum back and forth around his cock head, until he whimpers from the intensity and we suck his cock head as we shift the kiss to just kissing and sharing his cum with each other.

Kenneth groans "you two are too hot for words" he then clumsily joins our kiss, and I sense in Diana's mind that really makes her want to pleasure his cock more with her mouth, previously she did not want to even try, this was her first time, but now as he kisses her the cum contextualises from something dirty into something hot. I manage to steal most of the cum and Kenneth shifts his kiss entirely to Diana, I don't mind at all in fact I am so happy he loves her so much more than me, I read it in his mind too.

Meanwhile I enjoy his cum, and Kenneth breaks the kiss briefly "I will be ready again in a bit, just let me get a glass of water, can I get anything for you two?"

Diana smiles "mmm a glass of water sounds good."

I shake my head "no need, right now I want to make love to Diana some more."

Kenneth kisses me and then Diana and goes to fetch water.

I smile to Diana "I want to try a position with you that I think Kenneth will enjoy and I will enjoy too" I say she blushes and nods "I will lie on the bed and you will place your legs on each side of my head and lower yourself down so I can lick and kiss your pussy, and you lean down and lick and kiss my pussy, then when Kenneth gets here he can fuck your pussy and I can lick you and him, as he fucks you."

She blushes and nods "mmm, he has asked for me to be on all fours before, but I like looking him in the face when he makes love to me" she says "but if I am pleasuring you while you pleasure me and him as he makes love to me I like that."

I nod "also you should know that when I worked on your body I activated your fertility cycle, you have an egg ready to fertilize."

She looks at me a bit confused "what does that mean?"

"If he cums in your pussy you will get pregnant" I say.

"Already? But I am still making milk for Caroline" she says "you still will, so you will need to eat a bit more, to make milk and be pregnant, though I can use elven fertility magic on you to give you protected heat, you can then decide when you want to get pregnant next time, if it is not today."

Diana laughs "no need for that magic, I want more babies, Kenneth wants that too, I was worried Caroline would be the last, can you tell how much longer I will be able to have children, my mother tried at my current age and could not have more children."

I smile "well, I rejuvenated your womb and ovaries, so they are restored to when you first got to your optimal age to have children, I don't know exactly how many years that will be as it depends on what you eat, and other factors, but you may be able to have children for ten or twenty years, maybe more."

Diana laughs "well that is crazy, but I love you so much for doing that for me, how does the fertility control magic work again?"

I smile "it is a permanent enchantment on your womb, your egg is kept healthy and safe and you will be in protected heat, meaning you will enjoy sex a lot, but only when you want to will you be able to get pregnant, most elves have that enchantment."

Diana nods "I want that, as I know Kenneth would like me to be in the mood for sex more often and although I want to get pregnant tonight I want to be able to space out babies a bit more in the future so I have proper time for each child. Caroline was a bit unexpected for me."

I smile and gently caress her belly and I see the glow of my eldritch violet eyes in her eyes as I enchant her womb with the fertility control magic and she moans as she goes into peak heat, she pushes me onto the bed and gets into the position I mentioned and does not quite lower herself as much as I meant for her to do but she enthusiastically licks and kisses and sucks on my pussy lips and clit. I moan and laugh and grab her butt and pull her down as I gently force her legs to spread a bit more as I pull her down and I start licking her pussy, and suck her pussy lips in and dart my tongue inside her pussy to lick her cervix and she cries out in surprise and her legs shake.

Kenneth enters the room moments later and after being stunned at the vision and identifying who is who he moves to her head's side and holds out the glass of water and she gets up briefly to grab the glass and down it in one sweep putting it on the bed table and then kissing him "make love to me while I make love to Vela, she wants you to, and you must not pull out, I want all your cum in my pussy" she then looks turns and looks into my eyes "can he fuck your throat too? I hear some whores talk about men wanting that."

I laugh and pull free "yes he can and I want that" I moan in excitement into her pussy as I continue pleasuring her.

Kenneth laughs and kisses Diana and her moans gets muffled as they kiss, then as he breaks the kiss he moves onto the bed and kneels behind her and I feel her return her attention to my pussy, she hugs her arms around my legs and I feel her struggle a little bit to get both her ring and middle fingers into my pussy while she licks my clit, I moan into her pussy in pleasant surprise, Kenneth rubs his cock in my face painting me with his precum, it has been a while since he did that to me last time, as we travelled, I love it. Then he gently slaps her butt and grabs her hips and she moans in surprise but I can tell she loved that, and he pushes his cock into her in one smooth stroke angled down and his balls slaps her with a wet slapping sound and she moans as her clit gets slapped by his balls, her wetness sprays over my face and I suck her wetness off his balls and soon our muffled moans and his groans create a symphony, he alternates fucking her pussy and my throat, but he does not fuck my throat a lot, and soon focuses entirely on fucking her, he really loves her.

I pleasure them both as much as I can and love what she is doing with her hands and mouth, now eight fingers inside me and her thumbs rubbing the erect part of my clit that is inside me while her tongue licks me furiously and I cry out and squirm under her, loving every moment, but I can't quite give back as much as I get, her moans into my pussy feel so good too.

Then I hear Kenneth cry out in primal lust and triumph as he buries his cock in her pussy pressing his balls hard against her as his cock jumps and erupts, he fills her pussy with so much cum it leaks out for me and I lick it eagerly, he grabs around her and pulls her up grabbing her breasts and she turns her head to face his, I see this as I watch as a raven from the window. She breaks the kiss and asks "do you want to have another child with me?"

Kenneth gazes into her eyes "yes, you know I want as many children as you can and want to give me."

I feel her mind tell the fertility control magic that, and I see that I accidentally made the twinning fertility magic be there that many elves use as they have been near extinction many times so twins are important, the magic absorbs a lot of his cum and combines the best genetic material from his mixed chaos that is the genetic shuffle and creates twins, a boy and a girl.

I sense this with my magic senses and I smile and say "you will have twins."

They both laugh in surprise at that, but so much joy and we cuddle up together in bed, Kenneth in the middle and both of us hugging our legs around his legs and lying on him using his chest as a pillow, his hands holding us close and gently caressing our lower backs and butts. They both drift into sleep and I enter their dreams, I help guide the dreams to happy wonderful joyful places, full of inspiration, and during the night I leave as I don't want to overstay my welcome, I can not be a second wife for Kenneth, that would not be fair to Diana, and I want to be sure she gets all his time now.

@Vela Nanashi

What an episode! Pure sex, in countless variations. And everyone involved is enjoying it.
This part is so completely different from the previous ones. I read it twice right away just to make sure I didn't miss a thing.
It’s a shame you can only award 3 points for a story. For me, it is truly a highlight—or *the* highlight—here on the forum!

[Vela Nanashi]

Vela:

The patron of the blue orc leader reaches out to me, having sensed me as I consumed their warlock, it communicates not in words, but memory engrams, like a lot of far realm beings, I can sense its confusion, pain, rage. This type of entity was something I was terrified of when I was tiny and weak back in the far realm, they could consume and collapse dimensions subsuming energy into them. It really hates the way this reality invaded the far realm, as a sharp edge that cut it from the far realm and made it fall like I did, it tried to collapse reality and caused tears in it, then star elves found it and easily defeated it and contained it in a pocket dimension it could not escape from.

I wonder if I can get back home and it takes me a few tries to make a crack into the far realm from my pocket plane, and return to looking like the tiny version of me there, absorbing the energies around me there. After I confirm how to do that I reach back to the patron entity, I send the concept that I can send it back to the far realm, if it will let me and it abandons the desire to destroy reality.

It takes a long while before it replies, it will not stop working on destroying this rigid invading sharp dimension that disturbed the perfect fluidity of the far realm, it is entirely unacceptable that flawed realities like this are allowed to disrupt our existence in the far realm.

With that we are on opposite sides of things, sure it is not nice to be ripped out to here, in fact it is very bad, but it is also not intentional, and destroying a reality just because it accidentally conflicts with you is not acceptable to me. Now I was about to tell the entity this openly, but I have learned from the dead beings I have consumed of this concept of lying, so I construct a new memory pattern, a lie, that I will help it become free of its prison and help it destroy reality, I instruct it how to make a bridge for me to properly find the pocket dimension to open the conduit.

I sense the bridge open up, I use the memories of the star elves and what the entity showed me of how they defeated it, and add my own knowledge of how these entities work and I start by sending a tiny probe of me through the bridge, and I see that this entity is badly damaged, it does not attack me, trusting me as a far realm entity myself to actually want to destroy reality, I explain how I need to create a save bubble around it to pull it without harm to reality, and it opens up the lattice I ask it to open up, I seep along the lattice and border of the pocket that contains the entity and it compresses itself to allow me to do this.

I feel a bit cruel as I grab the edges of the pocket it is in and break my membrane to overwhelm the entity and collapse the pocket swallowing it. It lashes out at the parts of me in its pocket and manages to destroy half of my mass in there before I consume it and collapse the pocket dimension.

I scream as its memories become part of me, the immense pain it felt as it was shredded through the tiny crack when this reality invaded the far realm, it did not hurt me that much to be pulled through a similar one, but I was way smaller, then it did not figure out how to contain itself, it was contained by the star elves instead, and they did not make a compatible pocket, it has been screaming in pain all this time, however all that hate it has, I still don't feel it, it is not my own, I learn of all its warlocks, as it did not have just one, and I reach out to them for now they will be my warlocks, and they will get new instructions.

I absorb the abilities this entity has into my own, I too can collapse dimensions now, and combined with the star elf secrets, I could easily unravel this reality and consume the energy of it all, and ascend out of the dissolving sharp fragment into the far realm a way more powerful entity than I was, luckily doing that requires my new intellect to pull off, it is not something my primitive true self can do. I sort these memories deep into my pocket dimension to make sure none of my extensions into reality can ever know how to do this, even if they preserve intellect, I move all my dangerous knowledge deep into me where it is safe. My bodies outside don't need to know all this.

I also decide to consume the star elf structure and integrate the star extracting energy patterns into myself, I can aim the connecting lines from any crack in reality to touch each star, no need to leave such dangerous magic inside reality.

I am noticed by a few divine beings as I consume the star elf structure, they find me in their realms, I feel extremely seen, but they do not lash out or try to contact me, they instead observe me, some of their clerics have probably mentioned me in their prayers. Also I am not afraid, they could banish me from their realms and keep me out, that is easy for them to do, but I think based on the star elf memories that divine beings are something that they indirectly created and not on purpose, I suspect that is why they were aware and observing star elf structures.

All I am in most of their realms is butterflies fluttering about, where flowers exist I drink of their nectar and help pollinate the flowers.

I focus more completely now on applying star elf knowledge and I know they visited many realities, even created some, so I start directing my cracks to find these other realities, and go explore those as well. Everywhere I find only dead star elves, long dead, but other life.

I consume and learn and spread, my core self is drowning in sensory data, so I have to make use of my bodies brains to help process knowledge before feeding it to me, and to do thinking more locally nearer them, it takes longer for memories to reach my true self.

Some warlocks refuse my new instructions and try to break their pact with me, and I use the pact connection and make a crack in reality right inside their minds and consume them, but keep their shapes, except I make their eyes turn my eldritch violet. Due to the usual high position of power these warlocks had nobody dares question changed eye colour.

I break into underground caverns on my second world, I was aware they existed from the star elf memories, but was not rushing to get there, I find different exciting life, a few of my warlocks are there too. I sense other far realm minds in the deeper depths, they do not seek destruction of reality, but rather to dominate it, some of them share my fear of stars, and oh how they would want to know what I know, how to snuff stars out of existence, but that is not what I want to do, I want to stop the stars from getting hungry and trying to eat me and other life, as I love starlight, sunshine, and so does life, but I and life does not want to be burned in the plasma storm of a hungry star. These others however are hurt by sunlight or find it annoying.

I sense they are nowhere near making good on their desire to dominate or do any other of their long term goals so I don't bother hunting them down. I also sense others more close to my original self, mindlessly eating, though none of them seem to be capable of my rapid consumption rate, none of them are a threat to the world, there are beings who can defeat them.

Despite the warlocks and their minions I feel a sense of immense loneliness, sure there are people who visit me to get help, where I dwell, but most leave me be when they don't need something, but they make sure that I always have food, but I sense a profound lack of connection, so I decide that I will reach out to my human friends and lovers. In Good Well. I do so at noon, walking in to their shop.

I see a very old grey woman and a woman there, and a man, helping a few customers and I wait for the customers to be served and leave and approach the three of them.

"Hi, is Diana or Kenneth here?" I ask.

The old lady's eyes brighten as she sees me, yet also looks sad "I am glad to see you Vela, but I am afraid Kenneth is not possible for you to meet, but I am Diana, this is my first twins, Lyra and Karl."

I study the old woman claiming to be Diana and I touch her mind and feel it is her, and her scent is sort of the same, just older. "Why can't I see Kenneth?" I ask and refrain from stealing the memory.

Karl speaks up "cause dad is dead" he says in an upset tone.

Lyra gets tears in her eyes and adds not as upset just sad "twenty three years ago, and I still miss him every day."

Diana also has tears in her eyes and nods "we do miss him" she is not upset at me unlike Karl.

"But, I was just with you both not that long ago" I protest "I don't understand."

Diana laughs softly "Vela, you are some fey or elf or something that experiences time so much differently than us humans, we are to you like mayflies are to us. Or maybe not quite that extreme."

"I... I am sorry for your loss, I miss Kenneth too, are the rest of your family healthy and happy at least?" I ask, and tears well up and I start to cry uncontrollably. Diana steps around the counter and pulls me into a hug and I hug her back, then I feel two more embraces from behind Lyra and Karl joining in as they both realize how I too miss their father.

I stay with them as a guest, they tell me stories of Kenneth, I stay until Diana also passes away a fourteen years later, and then I drift away a bit, but I make them promise to come to the midden garden at least once a year to get me to visit them, I watch over them for generations, each farewell is so hard for me, I almost want to stop befriending humans, as I get so attached, but even if each loss hurts so extremely much I still value the brief moment with each of them, I go on adventures with some of them that have that impulse and see the world through their eyes, and I start doing that with other people I meet on the many worlds I now exist on, I become their companions and travel with them, and I find even elves are fleeting for me. On some worlds I see continents move, forests and grasslands flow like competing fluids, a single farm or home or watchtower grows into a village, a village into a town, town to a city, and roads change from just trails int he woods to a compacted dirt road, to gravel, to cobbled stones, the land erodes, new land forms from volcanoes, mountains crumble into the plain. Yet I also get helped into the moments with my friends and lovers, and those moments are so much more meaningful than time at my own scale.

@Vela Nanashi

And that was chapter 8! Honestly, I'm not sure if having sex with Vela would be a good idea in real life. I see a risk that everything you do afterward with other people might feel inadequate.

I liked how Vela repaired their bodies before the sex started. A minor thing about that:

heal livers damaged by too much alcohol and sugar

I think excess consumption of sugar is a fairly modern thing that doesn't occur with medievalish diet. The overconsumption of sugar mostly comes from us modern humans artificially adding it too many of our foods. Excess alcohol consumption, on the other hand, I can see being an issue. Admittedly, this is a fantasy world, so maybe their diet includes a lot of sugar, but based on previous chapters tht went into how they farm a bit, I pictured a fairly medieval society. Anyway, it's not important, just a minor detail that struck me as a bit out of place. Maybe @Lucius knows more about medieval diets and how likely an overconsumption of sugar was back then.


To get back to the actual chapter: Will Vela ever take a male form to experience sex as a man? If I could inhabit different bodies, I most certainly would test what male orgasms feel like.

---

So chapter 9 feels like it's the end of the beginning of the story. You pulled the time trigger. I really like that.

One thing I didn't fully understand is this: At the beginning of the chapter Vela encounters another far realm being and its somehow connected to the blue orcs. But what is the implication here? Did the other being create the blue orcs? Did it convince or trick them into worshipping it? Does it control them? Somehow Vela seems to be in charge of them now. But I had trouble understanding what exactly is going on here.

Given the loss of Kenneth and Diana Vela experienced, I wonder if she will try her hand at time travel at some point? Even if she lacks the ability to do so now, I think she would only need to find your perverted mimic and learn from it. It can mess up time in all kinds of ways.

But to get out of analysis mode here: Poor Vela. For the first time in the story, she feels truly lonely.

[Vela Nanashi]

Diana is rich, rich people could afford too much fruit and sugar, that gave them gout, and harmed their livers. Even back then, the normal farmer? No, but you can also damage liver with starchy food, but it is much less harmful per gram than fruits are, since fructose delivers a punch öer gram harder than alcohol and 100% aimed at the liver, npt 85%

As for male form yes, it will happen, she is quite capable, but to her, her favourite form is her first one, the one that taught her to think and all that

Blue orcs were a thing long before the entity some of them got into contact with and became warlocks of, it had warlocks of other species too, it was not racist but wanted existence itself destroyed warlock patrons kind of exert some control over their warlocks, at least the warlpcks need to fulfil its desires enough that the patron wants to grant them powers, most warlocks will try to placate the whims of their warlock even if one day it was burn the forest, them the other day plant trees, you don't question your warlock, especially ones that don't think even close to how you do like the far realm entity, it says jump you say how high, it babbles about things you don't understand, yuu try really hard to guess what it wanted if it wsnted something, it becomes a guessing game, and sometimes you go nuts like some birds with buttons they had to peck to get food, and maybe it matters if you spin clockwose or counter clockwise before you press the button, or touch that bar over there first, please just work mysterious button I want food pellet. Ahem

Vela is capable of time travel, but currently is respecting the suggestion to fall forward in time, not really understanding time properly yet in her pocket dimension she is kind of seeing future and past events feom now many worlds and universes that are not causally linked, but does not really understand what abuse she could do with that, since time is just strange to her just like rigid 3d space but she is playing nice and trying to not break it too much

[Vela Nanashi]

Vela:

On my travels across worlds known to star elves, I sense that several of them are in separate universes where the way things work are either subtly different or rather strongly different, much like the star elves though I am quite able to protect bodies I make from incompatible realities, by making a bubble around them, until I can consume enough of life or material and energy there to create bodies adapted for those universes. I find whole universes unable to support life, they are a lot more frequent than those that can, some even have no light, not enough difference in concentration of energy, such as lumps of matter to form worlds, what little is there is smeared out thin, cold, yet I glide my cracks in the reality seeking anything that could be interesting there in those dead universes, I contemplate using the dimensional collapse to consume them if they are truly dead as I could use the energy to help the living universes.

Beyond that I find worlds that once were alive, but are dead in so many different ways, that once had complex life and now has only hardy microbes clinging to them, and further worlds that have only mindless undead, worlds that are burned and now cold husks around dead stars, long ago killed not by what life there did, but by their sun. It further solidifies my own fear of the stars, I know that I need to make a safe place for life away from the stars, so life can continue forever away from dying stars and I have an intense need to make every person of all species able to live forever. I know of magic that would allow the person to continue forever, but they would not be alive, turning them into a lich or vampire, I could do that, but that would not actually make them live forever in the way I want them to. I want them to still be able to have children, and for there to be more and more life, always more, never less, never death.

I consume the dead worlds and undead worlds I find. I figure out forms of myself that can traverse the void of emptiness between worlds and their star, of space without dragging my cracks in reality to achieve that, and I learn that the dead stars are still dangerous when I fly to them and get pulled in and slammed against the surface of two of them that still produce light, and a third that was a black void not shining itself, but clearly visible against the bright background it occludes, all three destroyed the body sent to them, the black void almost hurt me through the crack in reality too, but the crack collapsed before it could destroy, consume, me. One day I will figure out how to eat those dead stars, like I can other dead things. For now they got to nibble at me.

Through all this I learn just how precious and fleeting life really is, sure it can take quite a beating and come back over and over again, but beat it hard enough and it will remain dead, and before it can become resilient it needs a safe place to start.

I find some worlds around stars that are stripping the atmosphere and water from them, blasting them with harsh light of the wrong kind to help life, and I experiment by encasing such a star in a thin membrane of myself and altering the light going through me and I expel water and atmosphere over some worlds where the water can remain the right temperature for life, I want to figure out how completely dead matter become alive, so I watch, making many such experiments and I will give them a billion of the years of the world of Nerina, Kenneth and Diana.

Other worlds I seed with life I gathered from many places that I think will be able to live in harmony together and with me, I choose not to bring people though, I know from the star elves that they know from experiments they have run that life if put on worlds that are not too easy and also not too harsh to live on, will give rise to more intelligent life from simpler animals, or plants, or just about any sufficiently complex life, and that complex life will be created from simpler life given enough time. Since they discovered the need for some harsh radiation from time to time I allow some harsh radiation rays to hit random spots of the worlds, it mostly kills nearly everything, but some things limp along and survive and sometimes something beautiful and new is created from that, I run experiments in tiny bubble habitats inside myself where I can use more exotic forms of radiation to see what happens, I create many new biological mechanisms, I learn those, refine them, but often the sloppy versions with inefficiencies and redundancies handle breaking by radiation better than my careful perfected versions. I am careful to preserve all the forms weak or strong I have helped evolve, and altered more directly, and I test putting them together in various combinations to see what happens. Most of the time nothing good, but sometimes I find combinations that form a stronger new biome.

In the universe I arrived in, in the galaxy I arrived in, I start to see that it is not normal for that universe, it is way more likely to have worlds with life, than it should, a lot more worlds have been lucky to have things life needs to start, and there are organisms that share a genetic history with each other that is way newer than it should be given there is no obvious way life travelled fast, and yes star elves left their mark on that galaxy, but they were not from that universe, and they also noticed that abundance of worlds with ingredients for life and primitive worlds. I try to find the star that tried to eat me, but back then I did not really have the knowledge I have now, to aim my cracks in reality, and my creation of my pocket dimension was not exactly planned, it was just something I did from wanting to run away.

I manage to locate the star elves origin universe and world, their world is very strange, it has a dual existence, both existing in a normal universe around a small ancient star that they have manipulated, and also their world exists in the rainbow ocean as they call it, but not inside a crystal sphere, and their world exists around an artificial magical artifact star, it draws in the phlogiston of the rainbow ocean and consumes it to make magic and light, the star elves themselves do not remember how it was created or by whom, but they are sure that one of them did it, or maybe it was Eleanor the eldritch entity that fell to their world to burn with the primitive life there to create them and the fey, or that is their creation myth at least. I do not make myself known on their world, staying only as a few exploring rainbow butterflies, but I gather they almost went extinct not long ago, due to some sort of plague, and only recently got saved by their current empress Star, who is enforcing a new vision on them, to be tolerant of lesser beings, but they also are looking outward again after a very long time of being desperate to look inward to try to save their species, and want to reclaim their past glory, and they are the only thing I have sensed that scares me more than stars do.

As I explore the metaphysical planes of their home universe, I find that all the divine beings who were the gods and goddesses there were recently destroyed by their own folly, trying to stop a being that they correctly saw could be a threat to them, who only wanted to be left alone to live happily with her loved ones on her own magical floating island, and the lesser divine beings tell me, they destroyed her island, killed all her loved ones, but failed to kill her, and she summoned them all to the crater, and consumed them all and is now the only divine being in that universe, but rather than want worship she has combined and scattered the spark of the divine into everyone, and allowing lesser divine beings to help channel bigger divine magic and responds to prayers to any divine beings that people believe and worship despite them being not around. Her name was hard to find Miranda, she has destroyed cults that were foolish enough to sacrifice to her, and she now lives happily on a miraculously recreated magical floating island with the resurrected loved ones, people know of her, but after those cults got wiped out nobody dares worship her and many are scared to mention her name.

Miranda's world, where the crater gods folly exists is quite a vibrant world, but has some troubles, truly terrifying undead beings called shadows, that are able to pull people from other worlds and universes to their world and who hunt the living turning those they kill to shadows, and beyond that when a shadow is destroyed it produces a dust that if ingested by someone allows them to become better in some way they desire, yet the desire for more dust then becomes very intense for them, it is not that they physically need the shadow dust, but they can't stop thinking about it, and wanting more, so there are shadow hunters, and even rumours of some people sacrificing living to captured shadows and killing the new shadow to make dust. I explore the world not just as butterflies, but as other forms, joining with the world, as I do not sense danger from Miranda even though she is extremely powerful. I do not try to eradicate the shadows, since Miranda has not tried to do so, but I try to rescue some people as they arrive to the world from elsewhere, when I appear where the greater shadows are summoning people to, they flee from me, so it is not so hard to save the new arrivals.

I sense that my home the far realm is one of the things that touch every universe from the outside, there is also another place, a void that destroys all it touches, but not in a way that preserves energy, it consumes energy and matter as it disintegrates and utterly destroys it, and then the energy is gone, it is even more hungry than me, it is a place without dimensions too, yet it surrounds everything much like the far realm does, each universe can be seen from many metaphysical angles, where other realms exist, like elemental planes, the astral sea where the realms of gods and goddesses exist, if there are any, the rainbow ocean, with crystal spheres when they exist can isolate certain sets of divines from each other, most of them do not try to influence other spheres overtly, it is hard enough to claw a niche in one. Yet life exists outside the spheres too. Some worlds even in spheres have a dual existence much like the Star elf world Home. Yet not always in the same way.

I keep spreading, hungry, curious, alone, despite travelling with many, even if they try really hard to be my friends and to understand me, and even when I try to understand them, there is an infinite gulf that we both fail to traverse fully, I love them, and it is not their fault, the fault is more mine, I have the memories of countless of them, but even with that I can not truly fully understand how reality is for them, truly understand what it is to be them, and they, lacking what I have, have an even more hopeless time truly understanding me, they do help fight the loneliness, but I find it hard to connect to such fleeting beings too, I really try hard, focus part of me on them for their whole life, but I hardly get to know them before they are gone, and each person is so beautifully unique, that what I learn from one person is only partially useful in learning about another person, also I both love and get sad when they figure out very quickly how to make my primal self happy with their delicious food, they focus a bit too much on appealing to that true part of me, when I want to connect with them more on their emotional, intellectual, spiritual plane, there is some of that of course, a lot even, and I don't want to try to correct how they spend time with me either, as I appreciate each of their fleeting precious moments they choose to spend with me, and I feel that for some I am taking too many of those moments, I will always be there, they need to spend more time with their own as they will not always be there. I feel perhaps something slightly like this emotion they call guilt, but I don't think I feel that exactly in the same way, many other emotions.

I realize what is strange with the galaxy I arrived in, there are way fewer dead stars than in the other galaxies, less heavy elements in the stars despite those heavy elements being abundant outside stars, at least for older stars, new stars have more metal. That combined with much more life vital material and primitive life everywhere. It feels like the galaxy was constructed to mimic the other galaxies, but not perfectly, or maybe intentionally with differences, yet I have not found any obvious signs who did that, no signature, no claim to glory.

My focus shifts when I find a very beautiful smaller sun, that is very stable, and it has a large world with many moons, powerful magic, and vibrant life on the surface, not just star elves have put their touch on this world, but other powerful magic has been at work there, I decide I want to explore that world more closely, and it has that strange example of shared species, fey, humans, orcs, elves, and a bunch of other species that I have seen in so many other places, the star elves have or had them on their world Home too, so maybe the star elves spread them? They do have some memories about doing things like that, usually not bringing actual people, but creating them on worlds, from genetic seed banks, weaving strands. Though perhaps others have spread species across worlds. Stranger yet some worlds share languages, given how quickly those change.

Some of the moons that orbit this world do so through magical layers, or dimensions, so the moons do not always show in the sky, I sense they show up at different times, and likely there are other dimensions to the world itself, sort of like the star elf Home world, so the moons do not always show in the sky, and despite having a moon system there is also a surprisingly stable ring system, of way too dense rocks and dust to make sense from what I understand of physics from the star elves, then again they like me are also used to magic being a thing that is easy to do and that explains things, and magic can explain this strange world, it is also really large yet gravity, the force that pushes most things toward mass, is not stronger than on the world I originally arrived at, that probably means the world has a lot of caverns or is made of lighter material or something else is altering the gravity of the world.

I decide to explore the world in a different way than I have been doing, in an attempt to feel more connected to the people of the world and for a time at least try my best to be as close to a single body as I can. I pick and choose memories and create a personality for that body, that is like me, but unaware of most of what I am aware of, I will see and feel what she does, but she will be a single body, and I will allow her to tap into more things only as she absolutely needs to, I observe the world from above, to find the best place to put her down. I see a ring of mountains around a verdant region of all kinds of life, and strong magic, concentrated in a valley, it has access to some caverns as well, lots of different sentient species in the area, so I think it will let my single body avatar have the maximum amount of experiences, I drop her off at a waterfall curtain falling into a pool, there is a cavern access in the cave behind the waterfall curtain and I consume the former fey that used to maintain this pool and its wild garden, I use fey magic to claim the site, as I look like a nymph. The fey that used to rule the place was a nixie though, male version of a nymph, I contemplate letting my nymph also be aware of shape changing, but not right away.

I also decide I don't want to equip her too much, just a very thread bare sheer silk slip, that is barely there, I suppress the magic in her that would blind or kill people by seeing her naked, and I suppress some more of her hunger than most of my bodies, she will still have the appetite and hunger of a staving army of halflings and their starving dire wolf mounts, but that is barely any hunger compared to me. I do give her a magical ring of holding, but part of its magic is that it can hide, and it is hiding and she is not aware of it yet, I put some fun things in there for her to discover, but tell the ring to not tell her it is there or what it contains until she figures it out properly on her own.

@Vela Nanashi I really enjoyed this zoomed out chapter. And with ~3000 words, it didn't overstay its welcome.

I noticed of course the mention of Star. But Miranda was new to me, I think? It became clear to me that there is another full story just for Miranda in your head. She also sounds like you better don't mess with her.

An interesting observation about Vela: The way she talks about life, how it comes about, what conditions it needs to exist, makes it sound like she doesn't consider herself to be life. Maybe she sees herself as conscious, but separates that from what she would call life. Just something I noticed.

I wonder how Vela would solve the problems arising from creating immortal life that can reproduce. What about the ressources and space necessary for that life? Although, I assume that at least some forms of magic reverse entropy in some form or another and that that would somehow contribute to the solution.

I'm looking forward to what Vela's avatar will do. It would be interesting to see it become so independent that Vela at some point might no longer want to reabsorb it and consider it a being separate from herself.

I also briefly wondered if Vela creating her avatar would come with a plot twist, like that avatar being Natira! Or somebody else we already know from a different story. But I guess not.
