Comet and the Brethren By Big Brother Alan - BigBrother-Alan@earthlink.net Comet finds Seth but falls into an ambush Note: These stories can stand alone but for those interested in reading them in order, the following lists them as they were written and follows a timeline in the story: Comet and Polaris Comet and the Brothers Comet and the Giantess Comet and the Evil Witch Comet and the Brethren Part One - The Brethren Kiole sat at his large round table with his friends and allies, Aledebaran, Aries, and Thingis. They called themselves The Brethren though none of them were related. They had been discussing the recent troubles with the witch Comet. She had created a great opportunity for them when she defeated Polaris but she wouldn't let well enough alone. Since Polaris' defeat many wizards had begun fighting amongst themselves. Several had been reduced to almost nothing. Others have not been heard from. The witches were becoming stronger and they had to somehow counter these troubling trends. "All I know is that she is powerful and clever and if we don't do something about her the witches of the world will gain the upper hand," said Thingis to the group. "We must formulate a plan to either diminish her or to kill her." All four started to grumble and argue again. They had been going in circles for hours. Suddenly, the large, wooden double doors burst open and a wizard appeared between them. Instantly, upon recognizing his old enemy, Kiole raised his hand to blast the newcomer. But quickly and in a booming voice the newcomer raised his arms in a sign of peace and said, "I have come with peaceful intents, Kiole. I mean you no harm." "You have a lot of nerve to barge into my castle like this. State your intents and then prepare to die." Kiole was annoyed that this wizard had appeared among them without warning. His warning enchantments must be failing or else he would have known the moment this scum transported here. The newcomer said, "I know we haven't seen eye to eye over the years, Kiole. We have many reasons to hate each other. And you, Aries, killed my nephew twenty- five years ago. Thingis, you and I have had few dealings but I understand you are allies and friends with Kiole, so you must want to destroy me as well. Finally, Aldebaran. It's true I raped your wife so many years ago, just as you always suspected and claimed. And for that you will want my head. But you must all listen to me. For I know why you are here and I know how we can defeat the witch." "Before we listen to you, I need some questions answered," replied Kiole. "First, how did you get in here. I attended the enchantments myself." "Your enchantments are working just fine, Kiole. You didn't detect me because I walked." "You what?" Kiole and his friends were amazed by this disclosure. Wizards never walk. They rarely even walk from room to room in their castles, preferring to transport themselves. The idea that a wizard would walk through the miles of estate woods and castle grounds to reach this innermost chamber is ludicrous. "As you may know," replied Seth, "I have been in hiding these last two months. I accidentally killed a wizard who was close to the witch, Comet. My only recourse, my only way to hide was to give up magic until I could think of a way to confront her. Alone, I don't stand a chance. So I've been living the life of a mortal man. File that away for future reference, Kiole. The way to break past a wizard's warning enchantments is to simply stroll right past them." "Interesting," replied Kiole, pensively. "My second question: Why us? Why would you approach your mortal enemies with a plan to defeat Comet? Aren't you worried that we'll hear you out, take your plan, and kill you anyway?" "There are a few reasons, my dear Kiole. First, I am sorely tired of living like this. I can't stand it much longer. My gold has run out. I'm weary of the drudgery of non-magical life. My life is about to end regardless. Secondly, for my plan to succeed we'll need to team up. And not just the five of us either. We'll need at least five more experienced wizards to help us, ten if we want to be safe. Many foes will have to put aside their differences if we are to succeed. Many of my own friends have abandoned me. They have shown themselves to be spineless cowards and I want nothing more to do with them. And finally, I'm not afraid of having my plan stolen because for it to work, you will need me. I am the bait. Part Two - Comet and Aurora Young Aurora had been living with Comet since her newlywed husband was murdered by Seth two months ago. She was still grieving of course, but the sting and the shock of her loss were beginning to dull. The two women were still asleep, entwined in each other's arms in Comet's large soft bed that she made from the feathers and down she had collected from the environs of her woodland wilderness home. The sun was beginning to shine through the open window above the headboard as the women slumbered innocently, each one lost in pleasant, sylvan dreams. Comet doesn't usually sleep so long but they had been awake well past the small hours, talking and reminiscing. Comet told Aurora all about her mortal lover, Connor and how he had found her and fallen in love with her twice in two years. It brought a tear to Aurora's eye when Comet told her how she had to wipe Connor's memory both times before sending him home. But it helped Aurora's grief to know that life goes on. Comet was over eleven hundred years old and had lost many, many lovers. Some she had lost to old age, others to war. A few had left her as it became obvious to them that they would never truly possess her. Comet was unique in the world. Yes, she was a human and a witch but she was also otherworldly, and belonged as much to the animals and the earth as she did to humanity. Any lover who couldn't let Comet be Comet was destined to leave her. She always took it in stride, though, always knowing before they did that their time together was limited. It therefore never surprised her when a lover confronted her to make his demands that she change this or that little thing about her. Comet always chose the "or else" option when presented with a possessive lover's ultimatum. She had given up on lovers for over two centuries and lived a hermit's life when Connor first came to her, and he was her first mortal man. Aurora was two months pregnant and she was just beginning to show a beautiful plumpness. They awoke groggily after several stretched and tossed attempts to wake up. The warmth of the day finally caused Aurora to kick the down blanket off them both and they got up. They didn't bother to dress since they planned to go to the river to bathe in the icy waters. As they walked hand-in-hand with the sun shining on their nude bodies, they discussed their plans for the day. "Maybe we should go to one of the big cities and have our fingernails painted. I still have a stack of Euros that we can use." Comet had sold some diamonds to get Euros so she could buy her last green dress. "I don't know how much it cost but I saw many of the women of Paris with beautiful colored nails." "I've never been to a large city before. Isn't it scary?" Aurora's training must include interactions with non-magical people. It can really help to understand the ways of others. They arrived at the river and Comet waded in, the swirling water rising to her midriff. Aurora wasn't yet used to cold water and she watched squeamishly as Comet dipped into the water, completely submerging herself. As she rose back up, Aurora looked with awe at Comet's petite body. It was hard to believe how old she was. The cold water had hardened her nipples and Aurora saw Comet's body in profile as the filtering sunlight highlighted the contours of her breasts, areolas, and nipples against the dark water beyond. The water streamed off Comet's body and ran in rivulets from her hair. "Come on in, you timid rabbit. The water only feels cold at first." Aurora tiptoed into the water and shivered as it rose to her thighs, then her ass, and finally her plumping belly. She was standing next to Comet holding her arms around her as if she would freeze to death. "You're just making it worse. Sink down, wait a moment, and rise. The water feels wonderful." Reluctantly, and because she was the apprentice and her teacher expected it of her, Aurora dipped in and came screaming back up taking deep breaths through her pursed lips. Comet wrapped her arms around Aurora, hugged her close and said, "On three we'll both dip down. One - Two - Three." They bobbed up on their toes before each count and on three they sank in together, arms around each other, holding on tightly. Comet held them both under for a few seconds before they both stood up giggling and laughing. They lay on Comet's favorite boulder to dry in the sun. Aurora wanted to summon a fluffy towel to dry them but Comet explained that letting the air and sun evaporate the water off their bodies left more of the river's magic on their skin and let more of the sun's magic soak into them. Aurora helped Comet spread her hair out behind her to dry quicker. Then Aurora found a comfy spot to get warm. Her hair was much shorter than Comet's waist length red hair so it was easier and quicker. Later that day, when they returned from Barcelona, their fingernails were painted in multiple colors. They had found some gypsy women who did wonderful things with nails and hair and makeup. The women found it amusing to listen to the gypsies talk of magic and foretelling the future. But they did wonderful work on the girls' nails. They had miniature designs on some and bright colors on others. They had also bought several polishes to use on their toenails. Comet had worn her short green pleated skirt with a tight white spaghetti strap top. The top was too short to tuck in and a thin band of her flesh showed between her skirt and her top. Aurora wore her robes but bought an inexpensive yellow flowered sundress that had a stretchy strapless bodice. It showed off her ample breasts beautifully and her shoulders and cleavage looked absolutely delicious in it. Yellow seemed to be a good color on her. As they sat together laughing and talking and painting each other's toes, Comet sat up straight, as if listening. "I sense him. He just transported and I need to find him now. You stay here. There's no need for you to risk the baby and besides, you are not in the proper emotional state yet." "But he killed Australis. I need to go with you." "No. Do as I say and wait for me here." Comet transported away and Aurora was filled with indecision and worry. Part Three - The Ambush When Comet zeroed in on Seth's magic, she found him sitting on a stone in the middle of a rotunda made of stone pillars. The space was fairly large, about thirty meters in diameter and the afternoon sun was casting long, prison-like shadows from the many pillars that surrounded the circle. She was still insubstantial and Seth didn't know she was there. But she sensed he was alone. She materialized before him and he looked up calmly. "I was wondering how long it would take for you to arrive." "You have committed a heinous crime. Have you anything to say in your defense?" Comet had agonized over his fate these last two months. A very small part of her wanted to kill him but she had decided he should suffer the same fate as Nephthys, his wife. He should be doomed to wander the earth with no magic to aid him, hounded and chased by his enemies as he hounded and chased them for so long. Seth just looked up and said, "No. Do with me what you will." As quick as that, she blocked access to his magic. He would no longer be able to use it. But Comet suddenly felt a crowding sensation. As the Brethren came running in toward the rotunda from all sides she felt their minds getting closer and stronger. She felt many, many minds coming at her from all directions. All at once, five, eight, ten, twelve, thirteen minds tried to slaviate her. She fended them off. Seth, who was surprised at her quickness and angered that she had already closed off his own magic, rose to her, and while she was pushing back against the onslaught, struck her in the head with his fist. It wasn't graceful and it lacked finesse, but he accomplished what the thirteen minds couldn't. He knocked her unconscious. The wizards all crowded around her crumpled body. "Let's just finish her off now and be done with her," said Kiole. Several of the wizards raised their hands to cast mortal spells. "Wait." Seth crowded to the front of the fourteen wizards. "Why not have some fun first? Let's take her inside. Five of us can enslave her mind while she's un-conscious. The rest can have fun. Then we can trade off. Since she's out cold and off her guard she won't be able to resist. Plus, I have this." He held up a small bottle containing a potion. Seth didn't want to let the others know that he was helpless and without magic. He didn't want to kill her until she had restored him. The wizards agreed and they brought her to a room in Kiole's castle that had a huge round canopy bed, covered with gaudy red satin sheets and pillows. When Comet awoke, she felt five minds holding her down. They each tried to get her to do things but she was able to resist. But unfortunately, they had entered deeply into her mind while she was unconscious and wouldn't let her move. She fought them and thought she was gaining some control but a sixth and a seventh mind jumped in to help. Seth got onto the bed with her and began to touch her. "You really are a sweet young thing." He sat her up, and looked at her limp body. He deftly slid each strap over her shoulder and pulled her top down exposing her breasts, and felt them in his dry calloused hands. "And so small, too. I still can't believe you defeated Polaris. He was the most powerful wizard the world has seen these last thousand years." Seth leaned in close and whispered to her. "I need my magic back. You have to tell me how to get it back." He kissed her pliant mouth and she tasted garlic and onions. But she couldn't answer him even if she were so inclined. Seth pulled shears from his cloak and brandished them in front of Comet. "I understand you are particularly fond of that long red hair of yours. Tell me what I want to know or you lose it." She wouldn't give him the secret he wanted even if she could move her lips and make speech. He was enraged at the fix he was in. He needed her to talk but the seven minds holding her immobile prevented it. And he couldn't use his own mind to delve in either since she had cut him off. Angry at his problem, he pushed her back and rolled her face down. He gathered her hair in his fist. Leaning down, he whispered, "One last chance." No response from her, but he knew she couldn't speak. Frustrated, he pulled the vial out of his cloak and uncorked it. Grabbing her by her hair he put it to her lips and tried to pour it down her throat but she wouldn't take it. "You idiots. You have to coordinate your efforts. You can't all try to make her do your own thing. Work together. She needs to drink this." All seven of the wizards holding Comet down worked together to make her drink the potion. Instantly, Comet felt its effects sweeping over her. It was the Unquenchable Lust potion. She began to squirm from sexual desire. The desire spread through her entire body and began to prioritize itself in her brain. She couldn't resist it no matter how hard she tried. Satisfying her lust became the most important thing in the world to her. It became the only thing in the world to her. She still couldn't move because the seven had her pinned and helpless. But one by one they released their hold on her. They were afraid to completely exit her mind in case she had a way of surprising them, but they allowed her freedom of movement. Instantly, she reached between her legs and began to massage herself. Seth repositioned himself and opened his cloak exposing his penis. Comet tore at Seth's clothes and took his penis in her mouth. He lay back to enjoy her sweet body as she worked his cock between her lips and with her tongue. But she was still squirming and reached between her legs again to massage her labia. Aldebaran decided to get into the action. He had been entranced by her beauty since she first appeared. He disrobed and got behind her. Hitching her up onto her knees and flipping her green pleated skirt up over her ass he ran his hand between her legs palm up, feeling her wetness as his fingers shoved her own hand away and traced across her pussy. He guided his already erect penis to her hand. She instantly took his penis and pulled it toward her wet lips. He firmly grasped her hips and injected himself into her deep and warm center. She moaned with pleasure as she continued to suck Seth's cock. Her mouth bounced back and forth frantically on Seth's penis as Aldebaran pumped and shook her from behind. She brought both wizards off and more took their places. She felt used and humiliated but she couldn't help herself. Her desires were insatiable and she couldn't resist them. The potion held her one instant away from her own orgasm, never quite letting it happen. Thus it increased its frenetic power over her. Aurora materialized but remained insubstantial to avoid detection as Comet had taught her. She cried at the sight of Comet bent low, neck arched up, as she grasped one wizard's cock in both her hands and sucked the tip hungrily while another wizard held her hips in his hands and rammed his erection into her arched pelvis from behind. Aurora knew that Comet was in serious trouble and that she would never willingly pleasure these monsters. But Aurora couldn't act on her immediate desires, which were to throw the wizards off Comet and to strike at Seth. She would be instantly subdued and they would both be killed. If Comet had taught her anything it was to assess each situation and calmly formulate a plan. Thingis rolled Comet over onto her back and straddled her face as she took his swollen cock into her mouth, holding it at the base with both her hands. Thingis fell forward onto his outstretched arms with Comet's beautiful head between his legs, sucking on his pendulous cock and massaging his balls and ass with her soft magical fingers. Thingis buried his face into the mass of Comet's hair and breathed in Comet's enchanting woodland scents. Comet could feel another wizard straightening her legs and placing them on his shoulders while he rubbed himself over her craving cunt. As he leaned forward, bending her legs upward and doubling her body, her labia spread wide and he rammed his cock deep inside. The wizard grasped the front of her thighs and held her legs against his chest as he pumped back and forth. Oh, it felt so good to her and yet so close to orgasm she could scream. But the orgasm wouldn't come so she writhed and squirmed faster and more frantically. Comet was gang raped for hours. Some wizards chose to fuck her sweet round ass. The pain was both unendurable to her and yet pleasurable at the same time. Each time, as a wizard came in her, she would moan and complain that he was stopping. "Don't stop. Don't stop. Please. I want more. Fuck me harder. Fuck me more." When all the wizards were spent, when Comet was wet with her own sweat as well as the mingled sweat and cum of the fourteen wizards, Kiole said that it was time. But Seth didn't want her killed until she had restored his magic. Still no one knew that he was helpless. They argued. Seth said he wanted to wait a bit for his erection to return so he could fuck her proper. As they argued, Comet was moving from one wizard to the next looking for one who would fuck her. "If you want her just get yourself up magically and get on with it." Seth made some weak remark about it not being as enjoyable that way. Seth grasped Comet's wrist and dragged her back to the bed, throwing her bodily. She jumped at him hungrily, hoping he would fuck her some more. But he threw her face-down and gathered her hair into a bunch at the back of her neck. He pulled out his shears and whispered, "One last chance, bitch. Tell me how to restore my magic or else I cut it all off." He leaned in close to hear her. Fighting her lustful instincts and yearning, she grimaced, "It can't be restored by you. Only I can do it. But I'd rather fuck you than restore your magic." Furious, Seth pulled her neck back by the mass of hair in his hand. He began working the shears over her hair just above his fist. He worked the shears over the bunched up mass of hair at the back of her neck and cut it all off. In one quick moment, she had lost a decade's growth of hair. She regretted that. Her hair was not necessarily full of magic but she liked it and had grown to think of herself no other way. Seth jumped off the bed and threw her horse's tail of hair on the floor, trampling it under foot. Frantic as her desires were, Comet thought she felt the potion wearing off. She lay on her back frantically trying to masturbate, spreading her own labia wide apart and running her delicate fingers around her clitoris, trying to orgasm and make the unbearable lust go away. The wizards holding her at bay began to feel her resistance strengthening again, so they tightened their hold on her and pinned her helpless to the bed as the others argued over whether it was time to kill her. The inability to touch herself and satisfy her urges was painful. Suddenly, she felt one of the seven minds release its hold. It just vanished. Then she felt another. She was only held by five now. The new breathing room in her mind allowed her to focus better. She concentrated hard and detected Aurora's presence. Aurora must have followed and, unseen, taken control of two of the wizards holding her. But Comet knew Aurora was at her limit. She had surprised Comet with her ability to control minds but she was inexperienced and holding two powerful wizards would undoubtedly tax her abilities. As the potion continued to wear off Comet might be able to overpower the remaining five. All the rest of the wizards were arguing. Some agreed with Seth that there was much fun to be had ravaging Comet's delicious body. Others were simply too afraid to push it. They argued that it was all well and good to have fun but they should take care of business first and then they could re-assert their dominance over the magical world as a ruling cabal. The potion diminished further. Comet felt the almost unbearable desire in her groin lessen. She concentrated on only one of the five wizards and with a supreme effort shoved him completely out of her mind as she jumped into his. And like dominoes, the other four fell quickly. But there were still seven more to subdue. Seth could wait until last since he had no magic. One by one the wizards around Seth and Kiole fell silent. They were left arguing by themselves, not even noticing the motionless, blank faces around them. Finally, frustrated, Kiole brushed past Seth and raised his arm to strike Comet dead. And he just froze. It finally dawned on Seth that he was alone. He glanced from one frozen wizard to the next, shaking them and slapping at their faces. He realized he was completely at Comet's mercy. Comet was standing on the bed straightening her skirt and spaghetti strap top. She magically cleansed herself and Aurora appeared beside her to help straighten up, still wearing her new yellow sundress and looking beautiful and sweet and innocent. Aurora looked with sorrow at Comet's cropped hair, and ran her fingers through it to see how it would look feathered out. They climbed down from the bed and compelled each of the thirteen wizards under their control to stand in a line before them. Seth was helpless and he knew it so he just stood, speechless. "Aurora, materialize some Unquenchable Lust potion. Fourteen large bottles should do it." Aurora set them up along a table that she also summoned. Comet enchanted each of the thirteen, who, like Seth, were losing their ability to access their magic. This cabal, this group that called itself The Brethren, would trouble the magical world no more. They were doomed to wander among non-magical people earning money using the toils of their physical labors. But before Comet and Aurora left, they compelled each of the wizards to drink an entire bottle of potion. As each one drank, their cocks popped to a permanent hardness. Comet released the eleven minds under her control and Aurora released the two under hers. They all instantly began to wrestle with each other, trying to rape or ravage each other. A few began to masturbate while others approached them from behind to ram their cocks up their ass. When it came time for Seth to drink his potion, he charged at Comet with his fists raised high. Since he had no magic the girls never bothered to subdue his mind. Aurora saw him flying at Comet and she moved instinctively. She over- reacted and before she knew what she was doing, Aurora blasted him into the wall, cracking his skull open and killing him instantly. She stood in shock at what she had just done. "I didn't mean that. Comet, really. I just. . . I just reacted." But Comet consoled her. His life was Aurora's to take since he had murdered her husband. In truth, she did him a favor. Two months on the run without magic had ruined him and he would have surely killed himself if they had left him to his own devices. Killing him brought no satisfaction to Aurora, but it did allow her to close a chapter in her story. Comet and Aurora left the wizards battering and raping each other. "How long will their potions last?" Aurora had made very large, very strong Lust potions. "Oh, I don't know. To go along with their potions I doomed them by enchantment to continue to live and suffer as they had lived and made others to suffer. The potions may wear off sometime next week, but their enchantments may cause them to continue until they die. It's up to them ultimately. Comet and Aurora returned to the burrow to regain their energies. For now they would eat and sleep but the real rejuvenation would begin tomorrow morning when they would do something about Comet's pixie-like hair. The possibilities were endless now that it was short.
