"Celestia, there's so much we have to show you. It's beautiful outside the gates of the school. It's like nothing we've seen before," Caio cheered as we made our way towards the entrance gate.
"It's that amazing? Isn't it just like any other forest?" I asked, trying not to get distracted by the various shifters on their way to their next classes. We were still in our uniforms as we headed to the entrance gate and we were already catching a lot more attention than I expected.
It could have been our uniforms or the fact Caio and Cairus were both holding my hands and giving off defensive glares when anyone so much as thought of approaching us. I couldn't help but feel a little special and adored their protectiveness, especially when some of the shifters were seven feet tall and a little too scary looking to say hello to.
"Trust us, it's going to blow your mind," Cairus emphasized.
"Okay, can't wait to see it." I felt excited.
We reached the gate and a giant, who had to be at least 8’5”, looked down at us. I frowned, staring up at the man who looked like an Egyptian god.
"Hellsin. We're going to show Celestia around," Caio called out to the giant.
"We'll make sure we stay within the bordered areas!" Cairus added.
Hellsin stared down at me, looking deep in thought. He was a black man with gold jewelry and wore an outfit I'd seen a few professors wear. He knelt down and I stood my ground, even though my heart was hammering out of my chest. It wasn't that he was scary looking. It was quite the opposite, and he was a magnificent sight to behold. His long black hair was in cornrows and the bottom ends were in beads. His gold jewelry looked wondrous against his very black skin.
"Ah. Orlando's child. A pleasure to meet you, Celestia Rainbow, Gold Recruit." He bowed his head in greeting. A few of the shifters who were trying to pass stopped to stare at me, wondering who I could possibly be for this giant to bow his head to me.
I slipped my hands out of the twins’ holds. "Oh. You don't need to bow. I'm just, uh... a unicorn shifter. Minding her own business. No need for such formalities." I squeaked, feeling even more embarrassed.
Hellsin chuckled. "You are like your mother. She did the same thing when she visited here once. Go enjoy Aslan's immense beauty, blessed child." He rose up to his full height with a soft expression.
Mom came here before? Blessed child? Hmm. There has to be more to this whole blessed thing. I knew about our blessed lines and some other terms using the word, but his comment reminded me of the dream I had with Orion, where he called me his “Blessed Love.”
"Thank you, Hellsin...uh, is it okay for me to refer you as such?" I questioned.
He grinned, nodding his head. “You may do so. Orlando must be blessed to have such a respectable woman for a daughter. Now go enjoy the vast wildlife of Aslan and stay far from the barrier walls. Gates will close at eight in the evening so make sure you are back if you have business on school grounds," Hellsin reminded.
"Okay!" Caio and Cairus said together.
"Thank you, Hellsin. See you later." I nodded my head to him and his smile widened as he watched us walk away. Cairus and Caio both grasped my hands once more, with Cairus on my left and Caio on my right as we walked down the path leading to the forest.
"He's an interesting fella." I was still trying to wrap around the info he'd unintentionally given me. Mom knew that Dad was a headmaster here but didn't tell me...
"He looked super intimidating when we met him, but once he knew we were tiger shifters, he was super chill," Caio mentioned.
"He also said it's the first time he's seen twins with different shifter breeds. He was very intrigued," Cairus added.
"I've always been curious about that." I had been unsure how they were twins but opposite breeds.
"I think that conversation would be too impure for you, Cutie Pie." Caio grinned.
"Very impure. It would make our Dearest blush," Cairus teased. I groaned, doing exactly what they just said, my cheeks growing red from their taunting. They both laughed while I slid my hands out of theirs to cross them over my chest, stopping in my tracks.
We were already far out from the school grounds and there were no more shifters around.
"Aww, don't be like that, Celestia." Caio still had an amused smile on his face. His mismatched gold and amber eyes twinkled as the sun's rays shone down upon us. He moved to stand behind me and slid his arms around my hips while resting his head on my shoulder.
I gulped, a little stunned by the dominant move. "Don't be mad. We can tell you if you really want,” he whispered in my ear, his hot breath tickling my flesh. Cairus grinned, walking up to us. His arms wrapped just above Caio's and his grin widened when my eyes lifted to meet his gold-blue ones.
"See, Mommy Dearest decided to be adventurous and wanted to experiment if she could get pregnant from both our dads,” he whispered, leaning in till his forehead pressed against mine.
"So they tried a number of interesting positions where both our dads could give it a go at the same time." Caio waggled his eyebrows.
"And voila. We are the result of that night of adventure," Cairus concluded. I was left speechless as my mind tried to figure out how the hell that kind of thing could even work.
Caio chuckled. "I think we gave her too much information."
"Maybe. Dearest, you still with us?" Cairus asked, moving one of his arms from my waist to wave it in front of my face.
"But...but...you can't...how? That's like...how they did time it perfectly? I mean...OMG this is horrible," I whined, putting my hands to my face in an effort to rid my mind of that image. I wasn’t visualising how his parents did what they did, but instead my thoughts were filled with a vivid image of me between the twins, trying to figure out who would be front and which would be back. Dirty-minded Celestia! Ah, dammit. I need to do research on this. Can double pentra- Wait, NO! I shouldn't even be thinking about this right now.
"I think we've done enough teasing for today," Caio hummed. I thought he'd move away but then soft lips pressed against my neck. I froze at the heated touch and noticed Cairus’ smile just before he lowered his lips to the other side of my neck, pressing a cool kiss opposite of where his brother was.
Hot and cold. I closed my eyes and tried to focusing on breathing, living in the moment as if time had stalled. They both moved back at the same time and I opened my eyes as Caio slipped away to stand next to Cairus, who wore a wide smile.
"Ya. No more teasing. I think that's as red as her face can go," Cairus declared playfully.
I mumbled something along the lines of “I hate you guys,” and walked past them. They knew I didn't mean it, both of them chuckling as they caught up with my fast strides. They still slipped their hands in mine and I allowed it, truthfully loving the warmth each twin's hand gave me.
Even though I was acting upset, my heart wouldn't stop pounding loudly and I hoped the throbbing ache between my legs would calm soon.
I need to get laid. Would be nice to have two of them though. Two is better than one, right? Ugh, I haven't even done it in one hole and here I am daydreaming about two. Shows. Yes, I'll just try to find time to return to my weekly shows of pleasurable solo entertainment. Maybe then I'll make it through this school year without jumping one of my men.
"Cutie Pie, wait. We can't go on foot from here out," Caio warned.
"Hmm? Why not?" I asked, unsure why we couldn't continue.
"There's a cliff up ahead and it's too steep for us to walk on foot from here on out," Cairus stressed, using his free hand to point ahead. I had to narrow my eyes to spot where the road ended. I saw trees in the distance, but no bridge or any other path as I glanced from around.
"Oh. Are we going to shift?" I asked. I didn't mind having to shift but I really didn't want to ask Father for a new uniform if I ripped this one. Caio and Cairus exchanged glances, grinning as they each let go of my hand. I gawked at them as began removing their vests and slowly unbuttoned their shirts. I had to keep looking back and forth to try to give each twin the attention their chiseled body deserved. The buzzing feeling from their hot and cold kisses returned, turning me on. AKLSDKSKN OMG!
"Guys! You can't strip!" I pleaded, though my voice was doing a poor job at emphasizing how important it was, instead sounding breathy and uncertain. Of course my eyes and mind weren't complaining, clearly taking note of every lined detail for later purposes when I finally got some alone time with myself, but the more intellectual side of me knew I couldn't possibly let them strip out here. I wouldn't mind getting a glimpse of those 7-inch...I NEED TO STOP THIS!
"Dearest, if we shift with our clothes on, we’ll ruin them." Cairus looked very amused as he began to unbutton his gold pants.
"Exactly," Caio agreed, sliding his gold dress pants down his hips and letting them fall to the grassy ground. I took a long look at them in just their underwear before I snapped out of my daze, quickly turning around.
"Sorry," I squeaked, realizing they had seen me totally check them out for much longer than I should have.
"Cutie Pie, if you want to watch us strip, just say the word," Caio hummed and I wished I had a fan to help lower the damn temperature around us, or was it just me?
"Wait? Don't I have to shift too?" I looked over my shoulder and froze. I watched stunned as they removed their boxers, giving me a very good view of 7A AND 7B, my new nicknames for Caio's and Cairus' cocks, which both looked extra glorious in the sunlight, and was a much better view than I managed to get back during the exam in Omako forest.
I tried to say something but couldn't, completely embarrassed. Cairus walked up to me and placed his hands on my shoulders. "Take a breath, Dearest. I know our nakedness makes you freeze up since you’re not used to it, but this is a natural thing. Now breathe,” he instructed calmly. I took a deep breath, looking down to stare at my feet as I tried to calm my racing heart.
"It's a natural reaction for her. She wasn't raised where stripping naked to shift is considered normal," Caio pointed out.
I could hear his approaching footsteps but got distracted, sighing in relief when Cairus started giving me a really nice massage. Well, who would have thought? Here I was in the middle of the forest with two naked brothers and one of them was giving me a nice massage. What a swell way to spend the afternoon.
"Back on topic, you're not shifting. You're banned, remember?" Caio pointed out.
"And your majestic beauty would be too beautiful for this forest. We'd just stare at you all afternoon and eventually call it a night," Cairus added.
"You guys are so sweet to me." I smiled at their comments.
"Of course,” they said in unison. Cairus finished loosening the knots in my once tense shoulders and I listened as they began to back away.
"We're going to shift, Celestia. You'll ride with Caio and on the way back with me. If you feel tired, make sure you say so," Cairus instructed.
"Okay. And your clothes?" I asked, noticing Caio had folded both sets of clothes and they sat neatly on the grass to my left.
"Can you hold onto them? Like maybe make a bag out of vines or something?" Caio suggested.
"This is when Finn would come in handy," Cairus commented with a frown.
"He'd come in handy with a lot of things, if you know what I mean." Caio laughed and I did know what he was referring to, which made my cheeks grow red once again.
I need to get used to them and their sex-related topics. Girls aren't any better either though. I could already imagine all the sex-related puns Arielle would want to use just to tease me.
"Cutie Pie, we're going to shift," Caio warned.
"Okay! Um, good luck?" I was unsure what else to say to give them a boost. It wasn't like shifting was hard. It was second nature, but for me it was really draining and was the reason I didn't like shifting often.
"Thanks, Dearest." Cairus chuckled. I decided to distract myself by shuffling sideways to grab their clothes. I took a calming breath.
"Vinelasha," I requested. My soft voice sounded almost like a hymn as I cast the spell, asking nature to create the image that was in my mind. The breeze blew past me and I could hear the sound of crinkling leaves and movement at my feet. When the sound quieted and the magic faded, I opened my eyes to see the vine backpack I'd imagined in my hands. It was big enough to hold their clothes but not so hefty it felt weird on my back. I slipped my arms through the vined hoops which magically adjusted to fit nice and securely on my back.
I felt something brush my legs and I looked down to see Cairus, his bright blue and gold eyes meeting mine. I smiled, kneeling down to wrap my arms around him. "Is it weird for me to say I've missed you in this form?" I whispered into his ear. He purred, moving his head closer to lick my cheek, which made me want to laugh.
Caio came up to my other side, sitting patiently next to me as he waited for me to give Cairus a long hug before his turn. Cairus pulled away after a moment and Caio approached, his gold and amber eyes meeting mine. He pressed his forehead to mine and I smiled.
"I missed your form too," I whispered, wanting to make sure he knew that I cared about him just as much as his brother. It was only thanks to them that I'd survived the Rhinroy attack back in Omako forest. I pulled my head back and opened my arms, encouraging him to come forward so I could hug him. Cairus walked over to where Caio had been on my right side. He sat down on all fours and rested his head beside to my knees.
I spent a few minutes just sitting with them while petting their soft fur, enjoying both Caio's Siberian appearance and Cairus' snow tiger. The warm breeze blew by, carrying along multi-colored leaves. It wasn't fall yet, but the different colored leaves gave off that impression.
Cairus stood up, stretching out before turning to look at Caio and I. "Grr?"
"Yes, I'm ready." I assumed that was what he must be asking. I stood up and then Caio rose and stretched, before he lowering himself so I could climb on top of him.
"Are you sure you can carry me, Caio?" I didn't think of myself as heavy but I didn't know if he could carry me for such a long distance.
"Grr,” he replied with a huff, staying in place. Cairus walked over to me and used his head to nudge my leg, ushering for me to get on Caio's back.
"Okay," I replied, still a bit hesitant but figured I'd give it a shot. It wasn't every day you got to ride a tiger through the forest. I made sure I was securely on his back and when I relaxed, he rose with ease. I wondered how I'd be able to stay in place if we went too fast, but Cairus was already ahead of me, striding over to my left side. He lifted his left paw to tap on my thigh. He then walked around and did the same thing with my right thigh.
In seconds, crystalline ropes formed around my thighs, one wrapping beneath Caio's belly and the other securely around my waist, holding me in place. I smirked, touching the cool see-through glittering rope. It felt like ice, but was stronger than vines.
"That's so cool," I whispered, looking at Cairus, who sat back on his haunches, his mismatched eyes filled with pride. I giggled, reaching out for him to come get a good head rub. He moved towards my hand and I did exactly that, until Caio began to whine, sounding impatient and hitting his paws lightly on the ground in protest.
Cairus moved to stand next to him and huffed. Caio stared at his brother and gave him a little headbutt. I laughed at the two of them.
"I'll give you a head rub when we get there, Caio," I reassured him. He looked back and Cairus followed his gaze to both stare at me. Their eyes called to me, giving me the impression they wanted to know if they could move.
"Yes! I'm ready. I have your clothes. Let's explore!" I cheered.
"ROAR!" Their loud response echoed through the forest. Cairus charged forward first, straight towards the cliff. Wait a fucking minute?!
Caio rushed to follow and I gripped his body tightly as we approached the cliff.
"Wait, we’re going over the cliff?!" I exclaimed, unsure what was about to happen.
I definitely didn't strap onto Caio just to jump off a cliff and die so there must have been some magic juju about to happen, or that's what I prayed for. I couldn't look as Cairus jumped off first. I closed my eyes, knowing in seconds Caio would leap off the cliff as well.
When I didn't feel the sudden dropping sensation of us falling, I slowly opened my eyes. "We're flying?"
I looked at Cairus, who was ahead of us. His four paws were lit up in white and blue flames while mini circular whirlpools of air rested beneath his paws, clearly helping support his movement as he ran through the air.
I leaned slightly to my left and saw Caio's paws looked similar, but with yellow and orange flames and similar wind whirlpools supporting our combined weight. They ran through the sky at full speed, as easily as if they were walking on land, their movement not in the least bit hindered. I smiled widely and looked out at the vast forest life, noticing the different types of birds that flew by us as we began to dip towards a large circular opening in the forest, created by the surrounding wildlife.
"Roar!" Cairus called out and my instincts told me he wanted me to hang on tight. I grabbed onto Caio, leaning my body forward so I could wrap my arm around his neck as we entered the circular opening before we dipped forward.
Rings of various flowers, leaves, and vines rushed past us quickly, starting with red and then orange, yellow to green, and I realized each ring represented a color from the rainbow.
When we passed through the purple ring, I lifted my head and my eyes grew wide with awe. The forest went from beautiful to absolutely spectacular. A multitude of colors, ranging from red to purple and even a few pink and white trees filled the new forest. I looked to the vibrant blue sky which had different colored clouds. Animals I'd never seen before flew past, some looking like oversized hummingbirds and dragonflies, while others I had at least heard of to put a name to them. We began to approach a beautiful lake with a large waterfall. The water was perfectly clear and the mist of water surrounding it let out sparkles of glitter.
If you ever imagined what an enchanted forest would look like if it were based on all the colors of the rainbow, this place would be a perfect embodiment of that.
"Wow..." I whispered in awe. Caio roared and began to descend. Cairus followed his lead and we came to land in the water right next to a smaller waterfall. Pure white fish shot out of the water, their scales shifting color from the flicker of light that shone through the trees, then back to white when they hit the water.
"This place is beautiful." I spoke in a quiet voice, looking down to see the crystal-like vines melting into water. I moved off Caio, thanking him for the ride. He shook his body to remove the specks of water that clung to his fur before sitting down. Cairus walked over to his brother, settling next to him while they both watched me carefully.
I realized they were waiting for me to give them back their clothes, so I pulled off the backpack and gave it to Caio. They both got up and walked into the forest. I turned back to stare at the serene scenery as I waited for them to change.
I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, unable to contain how happy I was to be standing here. The unicorn part of me felt the peacefulness that flowed through this forest, and the fresh air hadn't been tainted by pollution like some places in Versa.
It was like entering a holy place made for the purest of shifters and I felt right at home. I continued my slow inhales and exhales as if I was meditating, taking in my surroundings. The sounds of the birds chirping in the distances and the buzzing of the little insects that flew past me. The soft sound of the flowing waterfall and the gentle waves lapping along the riverbank. The multiple scents of flowers and wildlife began to tickle my nose and I struggled to hold back the magic within me that begged to be let free.
Nature was one of my strong points and being in such a state of calm made it really hard to not let go and allow my magic to do more. I wanted to preserve such beauty, a part of me thinking it might one day disappear if I didn't do my duty to protect it.
I couldn't fight the urge any longer, allowing my magic to flow through me. Then, I opened my mouth and began to sing. I had no idea what I was singing, but that didn't matter to me. The words were foreign to my ears, almost as if I was speaking a language not of this world. Regardless of my inability to understand the words that left my mouth, the sound was indescribably beautiful and only made me happier.
It felt like I was singing a song of peace, telling the world to fight for tranquility not because it had to, but because such beauty deserved to be preserved. I continued singing, the magic flowing like a faucet that didn't want to be shut off. I felt the presence of animals crowding around me, but I didn't stop until I could barely stand.
When I finally opened my eyes, I blinked, noticing the various animals around me. Bunnies, deer, bears, foxes, and more. All of the animals came in pairs. I didn't understand it, but they all bowed their head at once as if acknowledging what I had just done. I just wished I knew what exactly I had done to get a mass of animals to come and bow to me.
"Celestia?" I heard Caio’s soft voice call my name. I turned my head slightly as he slowly approached wearing his gold dress pants, but his chest was still bare. His eyes were glowing, which was different. I noticed Cairus was still in his shifter form, eyeing me from afar. It was hard to focus just on him since he was sitting patiently next to two large lions, one male, and one female.
Caio reached me, placing his hands on my shoulders as if to make sure I could stand. Then his hands wrapped around my waist, embracing me from behind.
"What...did I just do?" I whispered, feeling rather exhausted when I had only recently felt like an energetic unicorn, ready to save the world and explore.
"Um...to be honest, I have no clue, but I'm having a real hard time being close to you right now,” he confessed.
"Why?"
"Because I feel I should be bowing down to you like the rest of them and thanking you for coming here,” he admitted. I shifted my gaze slightly and saw the struggle in his eyes, which were still glowing gently.
"What can I do to um...stop it?" I questioned.
"Maybe tell them 'thank you' and dismiss them? Let your magic take a bit of control, but try to keep conscious long enough to dismiss them,” Caio suggested.
I slowly nodded, closing my eyes and letting my magic take over once again, but tried not to lose all control.
"Thy children of land, sea, air, and soil be blessed and protect these sacred walls. Never allow the darkness to take such precious beauty away. Thank you for your warm welcome and be free to go off and enjoy the wonders of today once more."
I opened my eyes and saw the animals bow one final time, before scurrying back into the wild. The birds and animals with wings returned to the skies while the dolphins and other sea animals swam back into the water.
I felt exhausted but a good tired and Caio sighed in relief. I looked back to see his eyes had returned to normal. I turned to see Cairus watching the two lions return to the forest before his body was immersed in light and he shifted back to his human form. Of course, my tired eyes wouldn't dare miss such a lovely scene of Cairus, his naked glory in our current surroundings kinda reminding me of the dimension's story of Adam and Eve.
He quickly pulled his pants on and strode over to us as Caio scooped me up and walked over to a large rock platform where he lowered me to sit.
"That was interesting," Cairus commented.
"Unexpected," Caio added.
"I don't know what I did. I just...the moment I took in how peaceful it is, my body just thrummed to life and deep down I felt this urge to protect it? Like...maybe something bad was going to happen here and I just needed to do something to prevent it from coming to pass," I confessed.
I didn't know much about my own breed and even in the forest with Magnor, there had been only a few instances where I’d fallen into such a zoned out state attempting to heal a part of the forest. Magnor said it had something to do with unicorn's essence and its natural calling to spread light and goodness through the dimensions while protecting the sacred grounds that had yet to be tainted by human or shifter. Was that what I just did but at a larger scale? If so, why? What was the purpose of that?
Cairus walked up to me and slid his hand along my left cheek, tilting my head to meet his gaze. "Are you okay?" he asked with a stern voice.
I blinked in confusion at his tone. "I'm fine? Why?"
"Cairus repeated your name three times already, Cutie Pie," Caio pointed out.
"You did? Um...sorry. I was trying to figure out what just happened," I confessed.
Cairus sighed, letting go of me and began gently stroking my head. "Just relax. It must have been some type of reaction to this place. We actually didn't see this area on our first round," Cairus confessed, ruffling his blue locks.
"You didn't? I asked, feeling even more confused.
"Nope. To be honest, when I saw the first ring, something just compelled me to go through it," Caio confessed.
Cairus nodded. "Same. It was like I couldn't ignore it. I had to go through it."
"Was the ring there before during your first exploration?' I questioned.
Caio and Cairus exchanged glances, both of them shaking their heads. "Nope," they said in unison.
"That's...um weird," I confessed.
"Maybe we went through a dimension hole?" Caio suggested.
"Dimension hole?" I had never heard of such a thing.
"Some forests or even towns have dimension holes. It would be like a cave or a hole in a tree, or maybe even a door in a house that can lead you to a completely different dimension. Maybe the dimension was calling out to Celestia, which is why it pulled us through," Cairus considered.
"The forest kinda looks like it was made for Celestia. You know, rainbow," Caio complimented, gesturing around at our surroundings. I grinned before lifting my hand to ruffle my hair. It was kind of sad that I already felt like I needed another nap.
"Well, that was really fun, exciting, and weird at the same time, but I personally wouldn't mind taking a nap," Cairus yawned.
Caio nodded. "I agree. We haven't used our flying flame skill in months. Using it twice today kinda pooped me out." He yawned before running his hand through his ginger locks.
"You sure you're not just napping on my behalf?" I asked, feeling a little bad. I bet my exhaustion was written all over my face as I fought to keep my eyes open.
Caio and Cairus grinned. "Not at all," they spoke in unison with soft expressions, but I still thought they were doing mostly for my benefit.
"Thanks, guys," I whispered. I really did want to spend time with the both of them and felt bad for wanting to take a nap, but I was so exhausted and with my eyes getting heavier and heavier, I figured it wouldn't be long till I was fast asleep, whether I wanted to or not.
"I have the perfect spot though," Caio mentioned, coming over and picking me up with no visible effort. I didn't even lift my head which rested against his chest. I struggled to stay awake long enough to see where we were going.
Caio lowered me to sit at the base of a large tree. I had enough energy to look up to see the multicolored leaves which gave us enough shade from the sunlight but still allowed a few rays of light to pass through. It wasn't too far from the waterfall either, which helped keep the temperature nice and balanced.
I heard their footsteps and the sound of zippers, making me wonder if the guys were changing back into the rest of their uniform. I felt something brush my hand and I groggily opened my eyes to see Cairus laying in his animal form, his head on my lap and staring up at me. He yawned, his white sharp teeth making an appearance before he nudged my hand to pet him.
I smirked, lifting my hand to slowly stroke his head. Caio came out from the other side behind the tree, walking over to sit right next to me. Without hesitation, I lifted my other hand to pet his head before giving him the head rub he'd earned from earlier. I yawned again and moved so my head rested on Caio's warm body. Cairus walked over and I lifted my left arm to invite him to snuggle next to my left side. I lowered my hand to rest on his body and he relaxed while Caio yawned.
"Night, guys. Make sure we wake up before eight," I reminded. They both purred in response and I grinned.
I wondered if Sia would take over, unsure if she'd been making her early evening appearance like she used to. She hadn't been coming out as much as usual and it was bothering me. I glanced at the bracelets on my wrists before my gaze drifted to the markings Orion had given me.
I need to ask him about those too. There was so much going on and so many unanswered questions that needed to be solved, but that all could wait another day. This moment was too peaceful to miss out on a calming nap with my two tiger shifters.
I let the darkness take me, dreaming of how lovely it would be to have a threesome.
