A herm dragon and hir caretaker learn a lot about each other in more ways than one.

Amplifier Saga--Chapters 1 and 2

By: Lucien Quinn AKA Zmeydros AKA Alexi Tishen

Note1: Amplifier Saga was written when I was experimenting with quick switches in POV. I've been told that it turned out well, but since writing this I've moved to more gradual shifts in POV. Please comment if you like/dislike this style so I can decide whether I want to do more stories this way.

Note2: I spell magic "magick" because the magick system in this story/universe is very different from most systems of magic I've come across. If it annoys you, I apologize.

----Chapter 1: Damaged Goods----

A soft voice can be heard, but shi can't make out what it says. When shi opens her eyes shi can only see a blurry indigo shape. Moments later shi hears the voice more clearly as she sees a mouth move. It sounds like a question. Hir muzzle refuses to form a reply. What happened to hir?

Hir memories are just faint impressions. Someone casting a spell in front of hir, the feeling of hir own magickal energy as shi tries to cast a spell of hir own while resisting the spells that are being cast on hir, then a feeling of intense pain as a huge electrical discharge detonates the air just above the skin of hir torso, shi stops being able to resist magick due to the pain and gets pummeled by all the spells shi was resisting... Everything starts to twist out of focus and goes dark. Now shi's lying on something soft watching a blurry indigo shape.

How long has shi been unconscious? Why can't shi see clearly? Where are the people that were attacking hir? Shi tries to make a fist in frustration, but shi can't even feel hir hand. Again shi tries to speak, but hir mouth won't budge. A wave of exhaustion hits hir and shi tries to hold onto consciousness for just a moment longer. Will shi wake up again if shi lets sleep take hir?

"Can you hear me?" The blank stare on the patient's face causes Kurswain to frown. She has asked this question four times already. For a brief moment she saw her patient's eyes and mouth move, only to have hir face become blank and motionless once again. She grabs her patient's hand to try and reach hir, but shi doesn't seem to notice. The nerves that connect hir arm to hir spine must still be too damaged for hir to feel Kurswain's touch.

For three days now she has been healing the wounds, but this patient is still at death's door. If she could just get this patient to stay conscious long enough to feed hir. Feeding unconscious patients is one of Kurswain's least favorite things to do and a patient that remains unconscious loses muscle tone and coordination. The longer a patient is unconscious, the longer they take to rehabilitate.

Even though her patient was disfigured by the blast that nearly killed hir, Kurswain can tell that shi was beautiful. The pert breast that is still intact is large without being unmanageable; the patient's face is a short-nosed draconic one with perky, almost dog-like ears. The scales that cover hir skin are iridescent; they look green from one angle and blue from another.

The patient's eyes close.

It's clear that her patient is a hermaphrodite because there's a slit above hir vagina. A hint of arousal flickers in Kurswain's mind when she remembers the first time she saw her patient's penis poke its head out of that slit during a sponge bath. Kurswain has had sex with both women and men--sometimes at the same time--but she has never had sex with a herm before... She has always thought that it was unnatural in some way, especially because almost all the herms that exist are people that have used transformation magic on themselves.

This herm is different from any she's encountered, however. Kurswain can sense that hir form is the result of very powerful transformation magic, but this time it doesn't feel unnatural to her and she can't sense any seams between transformed and untransformed tissue. It's as if her patient is some new species that she never came across before; the individual that sculpted the herm before her is probably the most talented transformation user she has ever come across. The amount of magical energy contained in her patient's form is greater than the amount of energy a group of expert dragon mages could produce. When she first started healing this patient she almost became overwhelmed by the power she felt.

A tinge of annoyance is felt by Kurswain over the fact that she has to watch her patient constantly. Why did she choose the night shift? It has been days since she has walked through the streets of Ahalmihiel at night and looked up at the illusionary night sky that she feels is even more beautiful than the real one. A sigh escapes her lips as she sits back down and begins to proofread her father's most recent manuscript.

* * * * *

Dhalvel adjusts his shirt again. He loves mornings, but he hates seeing such damaged patients. What in the world happened to hir? Shi is very hard to heal and by the time he leaves for home he is usually tired out. He's not like Kurswain--she heals patients even faster than he does, but she never seems tired. It would be nice to be as skilled as her... Why is this patient not being cared for at the hospital? Shi looks enough like a dragon and shi appears to be normal even though shi's a hermaphrodite.

Now that he thinks about it, he does sense a lot of magick coming from hir. That might be the reason she's being quarantined. Powerful patients could have powerful enemies or intimidate the medical staff with their overpowering auras. He's an ideal choice for powerful patients because he's used to being around powerful wielders of magick. His sister is one of the most powerful mages in Alhalmihiel, after all.

Kalliel opens hir eyes. Shi feels the presence of a young male dragon, but shi can't make him out. If shi was not so damaged, shi could probably sense his magickal prowess and specialization.

"Can you hear me?" Dhalvel hopes that his healing of hir head and face is enough to allow hir to communicate.

"Yes, but I cannot see you." It's very frustrating that the blurry shapes in front of hir still refuse to resolve. Shi tries to repair hir sight on hir own, but finds she is too weak to use her stored energy to do anything useful.

Dhalvel shakes his head. He feels hir magickal energies surging as shi tries to fix hir eyes. Hir magick is very disorganized. It probably has something to to with the gaping wound in hir torso... How did shi live though that? He frowns--he should've noticed that hir corneas have burns. "Let me see if I can fix your eyes."

The orange blur begins to resolve into a short-but-attractive male anthro dragon with his hands clasped together in concentration. His white hair is in a ponytail. Hair is so fragile--shi prefers the feather-like scales shi fashioned on the top of hir head when shi created this form. They don't set on fire when shi blocks a fireball. It's not clear to hir what particular aspect of this male shi finds attractive, but it probably has something to do with his toned physique and beautiful green eyes. He looks a bit tired.

"I can see you now and I must say that you're quite handsome and your eyes are beautiful. Thank you for my si--" Shi becomes distracted by the fact that shi can only see the curve of one of hir breasts beneath the sheet. Shi reaches to lift the sheet off of hir torso.

He reaches out with this hand and stops hir from moving the sheet. "Listen to me before you lift that sheet. The damage to your body is extensive. We aren't sure we can rebuild you exactly the way you were." He removes his hand.

"I'm prepared. I remember the explosion that almost killed me and you don't need to worry about rebuilding me all the way. I'll be able to do it myself eventually, because I created this form." Shi lifts the sheet and is not surprised to see that half of hir torso looks like charcoal. "I'm beginning to feel tired again. I may go unconscious soon, but I need to tell you something. Focus on repairing my brain and nervous system. Then I will access the dimensional pocket that I bound to the earring in my left ear... Is my left ear still attached?"

Dhalvel nods.

It's becoming difficult for hir to keep hir eyes open. "Good. In that pocket I have a crystal that contains a transformation spell that will restore my form over the course of a couple... days. I'll need someone to transfer the energy the crystal needs... Do you know any gifted mages... that might..."

"Yes, your night caretaker could probably do it. You--" Dhalvel sees hir eyes shut.

* * * * *

An hour later Dhalvel hears the door open. Getting out of the chair, he addresses Kurswain. "Shi told me to--"

"Shi spoke?" Kurswain's tail jerks in surprise.

"Yes, and shi told me that shi can get a stored item that can help repair hir out of hir dimensional pocket if we heal hir nervous system. You'll need to help hir do something with the item after shi retrieves it."

Kurswain's glad that the patient has a spell like that. "I'm not sure I can assist hir, but I will try. I'll see how far I can get tonight on the repairs to hir nervous system."

* * * * *

A frown is on Kurwain's face. It's clear to her that the damage to the nervous system can not be fully repaired in any small amount of time. There are parts of it that are completely severed. It's like this patient was at ground zero when a bomb went off. This patient is going to have to be rehabilitated, but Kurswain may be able to repair enough of it that her patient will be able to access hir dimensional pocket.

Kalliel opens hir eyes. Hir mind feels much clearer and shi can see a beautiful dragoness in front of hir. This dragon's snout is cute and her iridescent indigo scales shimmer in the light from the lamp. She has caring purple eyes that are big and full of life. A tight yellow blouse shows off her round average-sized breasts while her shoulder-length black hair and long pointy ears frame her face wonderfully. "Thank you. I can feel my limbs and I can feel pain in parts that I couldn't feel before."

The attention from the herm causes Kurswain to feel a bit flushed. "I am sorry that you're in more pain."

"Pain and I are very well acquainted. I don't feel able to move yet. Let me try and access my dimensional pocket." Kalliel closes her eyes and concentrates. Pain erupts in her mind and she falls unconscious.

Kurswain shakes her head.

* * * * *

Two days passed since the last time the patient was conscious. Kurswain is getting worried. All the damage to her patient's nervous system that she can repair is repaired.

She grabs hold of her patient's hand. "Please wake up. I've done all I can." Kurswain smiles when she sees one of the patient's ears angle toward her voice. "Hello, can you hear me?"

Kalliel opens hir eyes and waits a moment for hir mind to clear. "I can. What is your name? My name is Kalliel."

"I'm Kurswain. Do you feel like you can try opening your dimensional pocket again? You're in much better condition than before."

"Can I have some water first?" Kalliel smiles.

"Sure. Here you are." Kurswain takes the glass of water that is next to the bed and helps Kalliel drink.

The cold water feels marvelous as it pours down hir dry throat. When the glass is empty, hir caretaker sets it aside. Kalliel smiles at Kurswain. "I'm going to try it again now. I do feel much better." Shi closes hir eyes and centers hirself. Kalliel feels a tinge of pain, but the pocket opens. Shi retrieves the crystal and a mixture of dead organic matter that shi puts on the floor next to Kurswain. "Here is the crystal."

Kurswain grabs the crystal out of Kalliel's hand. Sensing that this crystal is a very powerful magickal item, she feels nervous about using it. She knows that the organic matter beside her is going to be used as stock material to repair Kalliel, but it still seems odd to have a pile of dead plants and other stuff sitting on her floor. "Okay, what do I do?"

"All you need to do is to give the crystal enough energy to start working. I'll go unconscious when the process starts because the damage is so severe."

"Anything you want to talk about before you go unconscious?" Kurswain readys herself to use the crystal.

"I'd rather talk when I'm not having trouble staying conscious."

Kurswain takes some energy from the lamp in the room, amplifies it and then puts it into the crystal. After a few minutes her temples start sweating. After ten minutes her hands are shaking. Just when she thinks she can't keep this up any longer and she starts taking energy she has stored in one of her dimensional pockets, the crystal stops accepting energy.

Kalliel's body goes limp and begins to glow softly. Kurswain pulls back the sheet to watch the crystal work its magick. The tissue is being reconstructed right in front of her eyes. Burn marks start to lighten in color and soften in texture. Gaping holes in Kalliel's flesh start to fill in as the tissue on the edges grows toward the center. A rib starts to grow back as it is covered with flesh. Once the flesh on Kalliel's chest is mostly back together, hir other breast starts to rise from hir chest as it's constructed from the bottom up. The sight gives Kurswain goosebumps.

After watching the process for about an hour, she starts to feel sleepy and goes to bed.

* * * * *

Kalliel awakens to Dhalvel's humming. Hir body feels much better; there's much less pain. The damage to hir torso is mostly fixed and shi can move all of hir limbs, but there's still a lot of internal damage. Shi frowns when shi senses that the crystal is burnt out. Hir damage was beyond what hir crystal could repair.

"Good afternoon, Kalliel. I was hoping that you'd wake up now that your crystal has stopped working. Do you have another one?" Dhalvel rolls the worn-out crystal in his hands.

"I do. I'll retrieve it now and I guess I will have to wait for Kurswain to come back." Shi opens hir dimensional pocket and pulls out another crystal. "Can you do something for me?"

"Sure, what do you need?" He smiles at hir.

"I need some supplies. This crystal is not fully complete and I think Kurswain may be able to help me finish it." Kalliel hopes this will work.

"Sure, just give me a list and I'll go get them."

----Chapter 2: Sensual Healing----

Kurswain opens the door and walks into the room. "Why are you still naked and where's Dhalvel?" Kalliel is lying on a small comfortable love-seat next to the bookshelf--hir long powerful tail is dangling off the love-seat and lying on the floor. Now that hir skin is no longer scorched, shi is even more attractive. Hir ample breasts are perky, hir eyes are a beautiful shade of orange, the iridescent scales on hir toned body glisten brightly, and the purple inner labia of hir puffy vagina look even more inviting. Inviting? Yes, inviting... It's been a long time since Kurswain has played with the female sex of another. A slight warmth builds in her as she realizes once again that Kalliel has a male organ as well. One of the most stunning dragons in existence is lying nude in front of her and she can't help but feel a bit turned on.

Kalliel's been reading for a couple hours in the nude. Shi sets a book on advanced restorative magick down on the end-table next to the love-seat. "When I woke up I knew I was healed enough to be left unsupervised. I sent Dhalvel to get some things. After he got back I paid him and let him go home early. I'm naked because I don't wear clothes unless they serve a purpose."

"That's a very practical reason for being naked. I assume your unabashed way of life also has something to do with the fact that you're not shy about the way you look." It's refreshing to see someone who is so free spirited, Kurswain thinks as she walks over to the love-seat.

"A fair assessment." Kalliel sits up and motions for Kurswain to join hir on the love-seat. It's clear to Kalliel that Kurswain isn't uncomfortable with hir nakedness, which is very good since shi likes spending most of hir time in the nude. "How much do you know about item creation?"

Kurswain sits down right next to Kalliel and curls her tail around her own waist. She can feel the warmth of Kalliel's thigh through her slacks. "A moderate amount. One of my ex-boyfriends was very interested in it."

"Good." Shi tilts hir head in interest. "Was he cute?"

"Oh, he was very handsome. His wittiness was the main thing that attracted me to him, though. He played word games with me all the time... If only he'd been a better match."

The warmth of Kurswain's body causes Kalliel to lean toward her. "So why is he an ex-boyfriend? That is, if you don't mind telling me of course."

"I don't mind. He was very particular about a lot of things. Where I put my hairbrush, what color combinations I wore, the amount of dirty jokes I made--and the real killer for our relationship was--how we had sex. I got tired of always having sex in the same two positions and never being able to perform oral sex or receive it. He thought it was dirty to have sex in ways that didn't fit his criteria of being proper." Kurswain relaxes as she feels Kalliel's body press against her. "Sorry if that was TMI, I'm assuming that you're open when it comes to sex."

"Not TMI, sex is one of my favorite subjects." Kalliel winks. "I don't understand people that are particular in that way, but I'm obviously much more kinky than the average person." Shi points at hir crotch.

A wave of heat washes over Kurswain as she thinks about Kalliel's penis. "Heh, I bet you are. The thing that I regret is that it took me four years to realize that he and I were incompatible. When I got out of that relationship I had a fling every other day with people I met in my classes at the university."

"Sounds fun. What were you studying?" Kalliel leans even more on Kurswain.

Kurswain unconsciously puts her arm around Kalliel. "I was studying basic teleportation magick." She realizes where her arm is, but decides not to move it. Something about Kalliel entices her. It probably has something to do with the sensual nature of Kalliel's demeanor.

Once Kurswain's arm is behind hir, Kalliel decides to lay hir head on Kurswain's shoulder. It feels marvelous to be this close to someone again. "Was your focus on travel or fighting?"

"Fighting. Most people don't think about fighting as a use for teleportation magick, but you're not most people. Anyway, the abridged version of my life story is that I wanted to leave this city at a young age so I began training to become a field surgeon." Kurswain smiles when one of the feathery scales on Kalliel's head tickles her jaw. "One of the requirements for being a field surgeon is to be able to hold your own in a fight. I had no idea what offensive magick I wanted to learn until I saw a demonstration at school where a small female dragon used teleportation magick to defeat six opponents, and I knew that was the way I wanted to fight. I studied hard to become a field surgeon and did very well in self defense. When I was almost ready to leave the city my parents convinced me not to go and I got a job as a consultant for the Hospital. I still want to leave the city someday."

This piques Kalliel's interest. Kurswain could be very useful. "I am actually glad that you stayed here. The whole world has gone mad in the last decade."

"I've heard stories of battles where entire cities have been destroyed. My boss told me that you were injured in one of those battles and that you were trying to stop the destruction." Kurswain brushes her snout against the feather-like scales on Kalliel's head. They're so soft.

A flash of memory plays through Kalliel's mind. Shi's flying toward a group of mages; some of them are holding hands and some of them are standing guard. They're all looking at hir as shi tries to diffuse the extremely destructive lightning spell that the mages holding hands are casting. Then a blast hits hir so hard that shi gets the wind knocked out of hir and shi's falling from the sky. The guards start pummeling hir with spells as shi falls and shi is unable to fight back because hir senses have been destroyed by the blast. Shi tenses up for a moment before shi lets the memory go. "Your boss is correct--I promise to tell you about my past and what has happened to the world in the next couple days, but right now I need you to help me finish this crystal." Kalliel lifts hir head off of Kurswain's shoulder and pulls the unfinished crystal out of hir dimensional pocket.

"So that's why you were asking me if I know about item creation." Kurswain can sense layers upon layers of magickal pathways within the crystal.

"Have you ever used magick cooperatively?" Kalliel repositions hir tail so that it's in hir lap.

Kurswain remembers that she doesn't really like cooperative casting--it may have something to do with the last partner she had. He would always let her do all the work. "It was required material for my field surgeon training, but I'm out of practice."

"I'm sure you'll do fine. The level of magick we're about to attempt is very high and I recommend that we have two points of contact between our bodies when we are attempting to finish the crystal. Is this ok with you? I don't want to make you uncomfortable." Kalliel smiles warmly at Kurswain.

"I only used one point of contact in class... I don't mind--I find your presence calming." And extremely enticing... Kurswain tries to get her mind out of the gutter and mostly succeeds. She takes one of Kalliel's hands. "What will be the second point?"

"The other point of contact will be our tails. I find that intertwined tails provide an ample amount of contact." Kalliel moves hir tail toward Kurswain.

Kurswain intertwines her tail with Kalliel's--it feels very intimate in a way that she likes. She can feel Kalliel's power and hir calm presence. It feels like energy is flowing into Kurswain, making her stronger. Another sensation becomes apparent; she feels her power flowing into Kalliel. An image of the crystal surfaces in her mind--the complexity and elegance of its design leaves her speechless.

"Now that I've guided your mind into the inner workings of the crystal I want you to become familiar with it. I'll guide you and tell you what each part does. This will take a long time. I'm not going to talk to you over our connection because we'll need every bit of bandwidth we have to work on this crystal." Kalliel takes a moment to relish in the closeness shi is sharing with Kurswain. Shi can feel that Kurswain is powerful, mature, and graceful in her use of magick.

A couple hours pass. Kurswain adjusts her seating postion so she is leaning on Kalliel. "I think I'm ready to start working on the crystal."

Kalliel plays with Kurswain's hair, using hir free hand. "First you need to take the organic matter and put it into the appropriate dimensional pocket."

Kurswain closes her eyes for a moment, it feels nice to have someone touch her hair. Normally Kurswain wouldn't get this close to someone this fast, but she feels comfortable around Kalliel because shi is so calm and stable. Being around hir is like being around the monks at the monastery--a feeling of serenity and peace fills her. "I'll do as you ask, but I'm curious about something."

"Go on." Kalliel smiles at the serene expression on Kurswain's face.

Kurswain squeezes Kalliel's hand. "Why do I feel so calm around you?"

"I spent years training to be a psychologist and if you want to be a psychologist you are required to visit a therapist regularly so that you are even-headed enough to help your patients. It turns out that the key to being mentally stable is to accept yourself for who you are and be at peace with the fact that you will change throughout your life. I know it's hard to believe that I wanted to be a psychologist. My motivation for pursuing it was my bipolar friend who could never hold a job. He never found a psychologist he could relate to and committed suicide when I was at a magick college. I dropped out of that college and studied psychology for a few years. It was one of the best decisions I ever made."

Kurswain twitches one of her long pointy ears. "Why did you go back to magick?"

"When I was training to become a psychologist I learned something that changed my life. I had always felt that I didn't want to be a human. That I wanted to be one of the many anthropomorphic races on this planet. What I learned was that it was perfectly natural to feel the way I did. Some men feel wrong being men and some women feel wrong being women. In psychology class we treated these feelings as if they were valid. People that feel wrong in their own skin are in pain and sometimes they need to change themselves to feel whole. I started to accept my anthro-trapped-in-a-human-body feeling and decided that I wanted to study transformation magick so that I could transcend my human form."

"Wow, I never thought about it that way. I can't even imagine you as a human. One of my fellow students at the university felt like he was born as the wrong gender. One day he introduced himself to me after he became fully female and I was surprised because I didn't even recognize him. I thought it was weird, but I still treated him... her with respect. Hearing you say this now caused me to remember how miserable he had been before he changed his gender. He was so much happier as a she." Kurswain looks into Kalliel's eyes. "When I first realized that you had used transformation magick to turn yourself into a herm I thought you were just being twisted, but now I can see that your form is an expression of who you are, and I feel that I understand in some small way why you chose to change yourself."

Kalliel kisses Kurswain on the cheek. "You're a very empathetic person. Thank you for trying to understand me instead of judging me."

"Heh, well I think my body accepted you for who you were before my mind did. Look at where my other hand is." Kurswain is amused with herself.

Kalliel smirks when she follows Kurswain's gaze. One of Kurswain's hands is on hir thigh. "I was too interested in our conversation to notice, but now that I'm paying attention I like how that feels. Unfortunately, we have work to do. Can you put the organic matter into the appropriate dimensional pocket now?"

"Oh, I completely forgot about what we were doing. Let me try." Kurswain feels Kalliel pulling her focus to the correct spot. Putting the organic matter into the dimensional pocket, Kurswain closes it gently. She has never attempted to make a magical item this complex before.

"Good, now put the water in my dimensional pocket into the item." Kalliel finds that she doesn't have to guide Kurswain much. Kurswain seems to know her way around the crystal already.

Kurswain puts the water into the pocket and shuts it.

"Next I need you to make a chamber that will store energy for this part of the crystal. Later we will make a main energy reservoir and connect it to all the little energy chambers."

"Why don't we just connect everything to the main reservoir? Do we even need little storage chambers scattered throughout the whole crystal?" Kurswain is sure that there's a reason, but she cannot imagine what it might be.

Kalliel smiles at Kurswain's observation. "In a magick item this complex the energy usage is very sporadic and things do not run smoothly unless you have places to store energy other than the main reservoir. Imagine connecting a thousand electric lamps to one huge battery. Then imagine that a thousand people are turning those lights on and off at random. The amount of light that each lamp puts out depends on how many other lamps are on at the same time it is on. In this arrangement the amount of energy going to each lamp is extremely chaotic. The little energy chambers stop this from happening because they provide energy when the light is switched on without drawing directly from the reservoir. With this arrangement the lights can be turned on and off without affecting the other lights."

"This reminds me of a physics class I took once. I think I understand what you're saying. Let me try to make the main reservoir first." Kurswain looks forward to learning more. She slowly builds the reservoir while Kalliel helps guide her casting.

"That's a good looking main reservoir." Kalliel squeezes Kurswain's hand.

A few hours pass and the two dragons switch positions many times. They hook their arms together, they lie in each other's laps, and they grab each other's tails. Maintaining contact becomes a fun activity that they both enjoy.

"Now you need to focus on creating a pathway for the energy to get from the reservoir to the tissue detox energy storage chamber." Kalliel is pleased with Kurswain's progress. Shi is now lying in Kurswain's lap.

Kurswain focuses on making the pathway.

Kalliel feels tired and shi can see that Kurswain is starting to fade as well. "Good. It's almost done--I never imagined that you would pick things up this fast. I knew you were skilled, but this amount of progress in one evening is impressive... I'm feeling pretty exhausted. I think we should go to bed and resume this tomorrow."

"I can feel you guiding my casting even in your injured state." Kissing Kalliel's cheek, Kurswain grabs a hold of Kalliel's tail and plays with it idly. When she sees that Kalliel doesn't seem to mind, she smiles to herself. Ever since she was little she's had a thing for tails, and once she gets to know someone well enough, she sometimes has an urge to feel their tail. It's a habit that's gotten her in trouble, but she just can't shake it. "You're a very good teacher and caster." She can't help feeling a bit amazed by Kalliel's magical prowess.

"Thank you for the compliment... I feel a bit sweaty, can you help me to the shower before you go to bed?" Kalliel gestures toward the bathroom. Shi can feel Kurswain playing with hir tail--it warms hir heart to see that Kurswain is so comfortable around hir. Shi starts to move the end of hir tail and Kurswain's ears perk up in interest.

"Sure, but wouldn't you rather take a bath? You're still a bit unsteady." Kurswain reluctantly lets go of Kalliel's tail and stands up before offering her hand.

"I hate baths unless they are the public type that you can stand up in." Kalliel grabs her hand and gets up slowly. Hir legs feel very unsteady.

She holds Kalliel up and helps hir walk. Now that she's not concentrating on magick and conversation, the feeling of Kalliel's body against her feels more erotic and her crotch starts to feel warm. Curiosity about Kalliel's penis surfaces in her; she's never seen it fully erect. The rest of Kalliel's body is sculpted purposefully and elegantly, therefore hir penis must be something special. "Did it take a long time for you to create this form?"

"Yes. It took me twenty years to hone this form. I wanted one form that handled everything from fighting wars to making love. Though, there are some rare situations that call for a form slightly different than this one." Kalliel winces when she attempts to wrap hir tail around Kurswain.

"What gender were you before you started to transform yourself?" Kurswain guides Kalliel into the shower.

"I was a female... or was I a male? I haven't been back in that form for so long that I don't even remember what I looked like. I'm not even sure I remember what it's like to just have one set of genitalia. I try not to think about it because I feel that my true gender is hermaphrodite." Kalliel starts to adjust the water, but shi loses hir balance.

Kurswain catches hir. "I guess I'll have to be in the shower with you. Use the wall to stay steady while I get undressed."

Looking at the attractive dragon that's undressing in front of hir, Kalliel feels heat grow between hir legs. Hir penis starts to push out of its slit and shi bites hir lip to keep from moaning--the feeling of hir penis emerging is marvelous. Shi hasn't had sex in so long... It's been over a month, because shi was fighting constantly until the point at which shi got injured. Kurswain's breasts shake in an enticing way when she lets them out of her bra and Kalliel grins approvingly. When Kurswain undoes her pants and pulls down her orange panties, Kalliel holds hir breath. Kurswain's vagina is so inviting. It's plump and has big labia, like the petals of an exotic flower.

Once Kurswain has all of her clothing off, Kalliel's erection is at full attention. Shi knows shi won't get release tonight because every muscle in hir body hurts, but hat doesn't mean shi can't have some fun with Kurswain, however. She revels in the feeling of hir testicles emerging from hir slit. Hir penis feels wonderful in the cool air.

Kurswain stares at Kalliel's penis in awe. It's wonderful. It has eight ridges and tapers from the base to the tip. The size is also quite appealing--it looks bigger than any man she's been with. The warmth in Kurswain's crotch returns.

The subtle curves on Kurswain's toned body are pleasing to Kalliel. It looks like she'd be fun in bed and fun to spar with. Seeing that she has Kurswain's attention, Kalliel moves hir prehensile penis.

She brings her hand down to cover her crotch. "Y-you have a prehensile cock? That is v-very..." Words fail Kurswain. All she can think about is how good that penis would feel inside her. Normally she wouldn't have sex with a random stranger, let alone her own patient, but Kalliel's form and easy-going personality are very alluring.

"Sexy?" Kalliel is grinning widely while shi leans on the shower wall with one hand and fondles hir penis with the other. She loves the way it feels when she wraps hir ten-inch-long penis around hir hand. Shi tries to thrust into hir hand, but winces in pain when hir leg muscles start to spasm. It's hard enough to keep hirself upright.

A pang of sympathy wells up in Kurswain when she sees Kalliel attempt to play with hirself; she wishes that she could help. She shakes her head, she can't have sex with a patient. She doesn't know if there is a rule against it that applies to her, since she isn't technically a doctor; she's a gifted mage that does consulting work for the hospital. It's her duty to handle cases that require discretion or involve very powerful mages. If someone finds out that she has made love to this patient she may lose her job.

Kurswain walks toward Kalliel. "I don't think it would be a good idea for us to have sex or anything because I am not sure--"

"No problem, I'm too sore to do much anyway." Kalliel stops playing with hir penis.

This is the first time Kurswain's ever seen a prehensile penis. She knows that she's probably going to feel even more like having sex if she satisfies her curiosity, but this risk is worth the reward. "Well, I have to satisfy my curiosity or I'll be thinking about your penis for days. Mind if I touch it?"

Kalliel grins widely. Shi wants to see how far shi can get this dragoness to go. "Only if you kiss me first."

A kiss? Kalliel's certainly not timid; a quality that Kurswain values greatly. She leans in to kiss Kalliel, who starts to kiss her softly--just enough to entice her. When Kurswain tries to kiss Kalliel more deeply, shi resists and continues to barely brush Kurswain's lips. Just when Kurswain thinks the kiss is about to end she feels Kalliel's tail plunge into her wet folds.

When Kurswain gasps in pleasure Kalliel kisses her deeply. Shi's elated when Kurswain starts to return her kiss lustily. Kalliel loves the feeling of hir penis rubbing against Kurswain's abs and the feeling of having hir tail buried in Kurswain as they kiss, even though hir tail is sore. A short time later the kiss is over and Kalliel slowly removes hir tail from Kurswain.

Kurswain hugs Kalliel, letting the afterglow from the kiss slowly wear off. The feeling of their breasts touching and Kalliel's penis against her tummy cause her loins to ache with need. Her ears droop--it's very unfortunate that she cannot have sex with Kalliel. She still hasn't satisfied her curiosity about the penis that's pinned between them though...

Letting go of Kalliel, she takes a step back. The penis in front of her is moving slowly toward her hands. When she moves a hand closer to it, it wraps itself around two of her fingers. It's slick with natural lubricant and she can feel Kalliel's heart beat as it throbs. The ridges feel interesting as the prehensile penis moves through her hands. It's surprisingly strong. Kurswain smiles when she hears Kalliel panting. Tending to her patient's needs is her job and right now it looks like her patient needs to release some tension. This could get her in a lot of trouble, but she isn't technically having sex with hir. She has to allow herself to bend the rules sometimes. She knows how much it sucks to be that horny and not be able to do anything about it.

It's clear to Kalliel that the indigo dragon is planning to give hir a hand job. The curious movements of Kurswain's hands have given way to more purposeful movements that are aimed at delivering pleasure. Kalliel cries out in pleasure when Kurswain strokes the head of hir penis with one hand while fondling hir balls with the other. Kalliels's weak legs are aching as they try to keep hir upright. "Let's--ooh--go over tooooh the bed so that I--aaah--don't have to stand."

Kurswain stops and offers her hand. "I guess you can tell that I decided to take you all the way."

"And I'm glad of it. You're good with your hands." Kalliel takes her hand, but shi stumbles as they leave the bathroom and has to put hir arm around Kurswain to keep hirself upright. When shi reaches the bed, Kurswain lays hir down softly. Shi rolls onto hir back and spreads hir legs for Kurswain with a big smile on hir face.

Getting on the bed, Kurswain kneels between Kalliel's legs. The herm's delicious-looking penis makes a "come hither" motion and she giggles. A mischievous smirk forms on Kurswain's snout as she plans her next course of action. "I'll tell you a secret. I'm good with my hands, but I'm even better with my mouth."

Before Kalliel even realizes what Kurswain just said she feels hir penis enter Kurswain's maw. "Ooooh Kurrrrrrswain."

The undulations of Kalliel's penis feel alien to Kurswain. She succeeds in controlling the mobile phallus to some degree when she wraps her tongue around it. Then she uses her hands to control the base of the penis because she doesn't even want to try and fit all of it in her mouth--it might be too much for her to handle. Deep throating a prehensile cock is a skill that probably takes a lot of practice... But it would be the type of practice that she'd look forward too.

Kalliel cries out in pleasure. Most people never even try to take hir penis into their mouth... Kurswain's skilled tongue has hir pulling at the sheets each time Kurswain thrusts onto hir shaft. Pressure is building at the base of hir spine and she's panting heavily. The pain from hir beat-up body is completely eclipsed by the sheer pleasure of this experience.

Kurswain begins to rhythmically constrict her tongue around Kalliel's penis and is rewarded when Kalliel squirts some pre into the back of her throat as shi cries out louder than before. The feeling of Kalliel's penis in her mouth is very erotic and the natural lubricant on it tastes a bit like raspberries. She smiles inwardly, thinking that this is another one of Kalliel's alterations. Now she wants to taste more of Kalliel's cum; she didn't quite catch the taste of Kalliel's pre before she swallowed it.

The rhythmic pulsations of Kurswain's tongue send jolts of pleasure up Kalliel's spine; shi can feel hir orgasm approaching quickly. Not wanting to compromise Kurswain's job, shi grabs a pillow and bites it to muffle hir cries of ecstasy.

Sensing that Kalliel is close to hir release, Kurswain suddenly thrusts the end of her tail into Kalliel. The muffled scream from Kalliel urges Kurswain on. The heat between Kurswain's legs is almost unbearable. She's extremely horny now. There are ridges of muscle inside of Kalliel's cunt that feel really good as she slides her tail in and out. Kurswain picks up the pace.

Being fucked by Kurswain's tail is causing Kalliel to feel waves of pleasure so strong that shi's growling and grinding at the end of each thrust. A dual orgasm is approaching and it's a big one. Shi tries to hang on a bit longer, to let the pleasure pool in hir for an even bigger climax.

How is Kalliel able to continue to hold onto hir seed? Kurswain isn't out of tricks yet. She concentrates on finding the most sensitive spot in Kalliel's cunt. A few seconds later she finds it, causing Kalliel to arch hir back and squirm. Moving her hand deftly under Kalliel's balls, she starts to rub Kalliel's clit. A loud moan and the clenching of Kalliel's passage tell Kurswain that her patient's climax is almost here. Carefully, she takes a little more of Kalliel's shaft into her maw each time she thrusts upon it. Kalliel cries out and starts to move hir entire body violently in time with Kurswain's ministrations, causing hir heavy breasts to swing wildly.

Coordinating all of her motions, Kurswain waits patiently for her prize. She also increases the pace a bit more and Kalliel's balls start to slap against her chin. Almost all of Kalliel's shaft is now in Kurswain's mouth and Kurswain's tail is buried deep in hir pussy. Kurswain is so aroused that she feels like she might spontaneously burst into flames.

Moments later Kalliel starts to thrust uncontrollably into Kurswain's mouth and a giant orgasm washes over hir. She screams as she bites down on the pillow and hir entire body shakes. Shi feels like shi's floating above the bed, as if the pleasure shi's feeling has knocked hir out of reality. After so long without sharing sex with another, emptying hir thick seed into Kurswain's mouth feels amazing. Hir cunt squeezes the tail within hard as shi writhes in pleasure. It feels so good to be filled.

Kurswain tastes Kalliel's spunk as it is pumped into her maw. Giving oral sex to Kalliel is like eating raspberries and whipped cream; how delightful. Kalliel's cum doesn't taste exactly like whipped cream, but it's pretty close. She swallows all of it, which is difficult since there's a seemingly endless supply--how long did this dragon go without sex? When Kalliel finally stops delivering hir delicious cum, Kurswain releases Kalliel's penis from her mouth and licks her lips.

She takes her tail out of Kalliel's cunt, smiling at the small wet spot on the bed. Then she brings her tail to her muzzle and tastes Kalliel's juices. When she realizes that they taste almost exactly like kiwi fruit, she almost giggles. Nothing about Kalliel's form has been overlooked. Looking down at Kalliel, she can see that Kalliel looks extremely satisfied. The room is filled with a smell that's a light mixture of tangerines, cinnamon and draconic arousal. She never would have thought to put those smells together, but they are a very appealing mix.

"That was great. In a couple minutes I'll try to return the favor." Kalliel lies there staring blankly into the distance as shi basks in the afterglow.

Kurswain shakes her head. "You don't need to. I'd rather wait until you're fully healed and you're no longer my patient. I'm very horny right, but it'll pass."

This surprises Kalliel. The smell of Kurswain's arousal--a musky gingery smell--is thick and Kalliel can see desire in her eyes. "Are you sure? It's true that I'm a bit limited right now, but I can probably still get you off."

"I'm sure. That was a lot of fun and I feel pretty satisfied with myself. Let's get you cleaned up." Kurswain offers her hand to Kalliel.

Taking her hand, Kalliel gets out of bed. "You should be. That's some of the best oral sex I've had. Most people feel squeamish about having my cock in their mouth."

"Well, I'm more adventurous than most. I have to say that I never thought hermaphrodites could be this much fun. I used to think that I'd never be interested, but then I met you and saw this amazing body you built." Kurswain starts leading Kalliel to the shower.

Walking on hir shaky legs, Kalliel wraps hir tail around Kurswain's bare waist. "I'm honored by your compliments. I enjoy this body quite a bit and I'm glad that you do as well."

"I like the way your vagina could grip my tail and your penis was just amazing. You thought everything out when you made this form--I never imagined that giving someone oral sex would taste like raspberries and cream." Kurswain giggles.

A smirk appears on Kalliel's face. "I can change the taste at will--"

Kurswain stops in the doorway of the restroom and looks at Kalliel. "No way. That would require extremely delicate transformation magick. I didn't sense you using any magick after we stopped working on the item."

"My entire body is actually a magickal item and I can change many aspects of it at will." Kalliel pretends to adjust a control with hir hand.

Concentrating on Kalliel's body, Kurswain tries to sense its connections and energy conduits. Then an unfathomable truth becomes apparent to her. "I didn't even know that was possible. Does that mean that under normal circumstances your body will regenerate itself?"

"Yes, how'd you guess that?" Kalliel tilts hir head.

"When I reached out with my mind to examine your body I found structures that reminded me of the crystal we're working on... Does this mean that you're synthetic?" A strong feeling of touching the unknown is present in Kurswain.

"No, I'm not entirely synthetic. It's more like my body is built around a magickal item. My brain is mostly the way it was before I created this body. I've theorized that a synthetic sentient being could be produced through magick, but it would take me over eighty years of working with other mages to prove my theory."

Tilting her head, Kurswain puts up one of her ears. "Eighty years of research... Would that entity be a homunculus?"

Kalliel nods. "Yes, technically, but if I did it right, the person I created would be nearly indistinguishable from the rest of us."

"From what I've seen today, I bet you could create a homunculus like that. I've seen homunculi before, but they're always simple and I feel sorry for them. They seem more like a curiosity than a field of magick." Kurswain starts leading Kalliel to the shower again.

"I'm glad you believe in me. I may try it someday and I'll tell you why later. Now it's time for a shower with a beautiful dragon." Kalliel kisses Kurswain on the cheek and almost stumbles on hir shaky legs. "Hmm, I'll be glad when I'm fully repaired. It saddens me to stumble on legs that I built myself."

Kurswain chuckles. "I see what you mean. I hope we can finish your magickal item tomorrow."
