ariel2.zip Ariel Witch By Ariel Witch Ariel the witch lived in a small but spacious cottage far out in the green forests, far from civilization, her only companions the wild birds and other forest creatures and her Familiar, Screech, an old black tom cat. The winds were howling around the cottage one day, a summer thunderstorm in progress. The shriek of the storm began to arouse the witch, as the intensity of the weather began to arouse her desires. She stood before her mirror, nude, pulling her long blond hair back and admiring her sensual grace. Her nipples were hard and she slowly ran her fingers lazily across them, feeling her juices begin to flow. She ran one hand down her body, slowly moving her legs apart and darted a finger inside. "That's it!" she sighed, and began looking for her spell-book, intent on conjuring up a bed mate for the afternoon. The only spell she could find called for a male animal, which would be turned into a virile man for her pleasure. "Come here, Screech," Ariel whispered, "That's a good kitty!" The old tomcat hopped upon the bed, purring loudly. Ariel incanted the necessary words and in a swirl of multi-colored mists the cat was transformed into a large, good-looking man with piercing green eyes. Ariel felt her desire increase as the man motioned for her to join him on the bed. Quickly, she slipped out of her robes and lay beside him. He kissed her deeply, his hands moving over her body, teasing her, his tongue darting flames into her mouth. Ariel moaned, a low, throaty sound, and slid beneath him. His mouth darted to her moistness and his tongue and lips rapidly brought her to the brink.... "Now, NOW!" she screamed, clutching at him, "Fuck me now!" The man smiled, a lazy feline smile, as he watched the writhing witch beneath him. Gently stroking her face, he asked; "Now, aren't you sorry you had me fixed?" Succubus By Ariel Witch He lay sleeping deeply, on his back, one hand across his eyes, the other flung across the bed, oblivious to the silent swirl of multi- colored mists in a dark corner of the bedroom, unaware that a female form was taking shape. Ariel quietly approached the bed, her eyes dark with desire as she watched him sleep. His cock was hard, and it twitched and quivered. She smiled, knowing what was in his dreams. Silently, she slid onto the bed and began tracing low, slow kisses across his stomach, feeling the muscles tense beneath her lips. Slowly she sucked the head of his pulsing cock into her mouth, swirling her tongue around it. He moaned softly. Inch by inch, she slowly took him into her hot, wet mouth until her lips were wrapped around the root, and then began feasting, long, slow, deep sucks, her tongue lavishing his hot hard meat. She could feel his cock swell to completely fill her mouth an d she quickly moved away. Stripping off her robes, she straddled him and slowly eased herself onto him, until he was buried deep inside her. Her inner muscles began to milk him, and she began to ride his cock, her own desires now fully ignited. Faster she moved, as his hips began to match her movements in the ancient rhythms. Suddenly, she threw her head back and moaned quietly, her cunt convulsing around him, triggering his own orgasm, and he filled her with spurt after spurt. Slowly she released him and sucked his cock clean of their combined juices. Slowly she dressed, a warm smile on her lips as again she watched him sleep. A gentle kiss on his brow.... Once again, his room was empty, his sleep now filled with dreams...... Office Girl By Ariel Witch I have come to your office looking for a job. Your secretary has shown me to your private office and closed the door behind her. You rise to shake my hand, and I try to be subtle as my eyes move over you. You offer me a seat in a large chair opposite your desk, and I sit, crossing my legs. "So what are your qualifications?" you ask, and I notice that you are staring at where my skirt has ridden up, revealing a glimpse of creamy white thigh above my dark stockings. I begin to tell you of my job experience, but you are not listening. Your green eyes are roaming over my body. "Are you wearing anything under that skirt?" you ask. I blush, and murmur "No,sir." "Uncross your legs and spread your legs apart," you order me. The authority in your rough voice starts my juices flowing. As I slowly part my legs, my skirt rises up, allowing you a full view of my moist pussy lips. I can feel the juices oozing down the crack of my ass. "Mmmmmmm, nice," you say, moving in front of me and kneeling. You push my legs apart further, opening my hot wet cunt to your inspection. You grab my hips, and pull me forward in the chair, then use your fingers to part my cunt lips, revealing my hard throbbing clit, slowly you suck it into your mouth, flicking it with your tongue as your fingers creep towards my cunt. My legs begin to tremble as you lick and suck at me. You slide two long fingers into my pusyy, slowly, as my cunt tries to suck them in deeper. You slip your fingers into, slowly, just up to the first knuckle, teasing, slipping in and out. My thighs are trembling and you can feel my clit pulsing beneath your slowly moving tongue. My juices are flowing faster and we can hear the sucking noises as my cunt grips your fingers. Suddenly, you dart your stiffened tongue into my cunt and out again, giving my clit a fast flick, then back into my cunt, a little deeper this time, lapping at my juices. Your thumb begins to lightly stroke my clit as you dart your tongue in and out of my cunt. My moans are getting louder now, and I try to force my cunt onto your probing tongue. You can tell that I am very close to coming. "Not yet," you say, rising and pulling me to my feet. My legs are trembling so that I can barely stand, and my juices are dripping down my thighs. My clit is throbbing and swollen. I move my hand down, wanting to stroke my clit, wanting to come, needing to come, but your large hand stops mine. "Not until I say so," you tell me and lead me towards your desk. You tell me to sit on the very edge and I do. You push my skirt up and force me back down on the desk, my ass at the very edge. "Make yourself come, " you say, "I want to watch you." As you watch me, you unzip your pants, and slip them off. Your cock is hard, with a glistening pearl of pre-cum oozing from the slit. It looks delicious and I lick my lips as I watch you begin to slowly stroke it. My hand is moving faster now, plunging in and out of my cunt, feeling the pressure building. "Don't come yet!" you tell me, still stroking your cock. "Rub your clit, but very slowly..." I slowly begin massaging my engorged clit, rubbing my juices over it. My cunt is aching, I want to feel your cock in me now. "Now slip one finger into your cunt, not all the way, just a little...." Your hand begins to move a little faster now, your cock seeming to get even harder. You move closer so that your cockhead is right in front of my mouth. I lick the slit, tasting you, and start to slowly suck you into my hot wet mouth, my finger moving in my cunt, slowly, churning up all the hot flowing juices. Holding your cock, and still stroking it, you begin to feed it to me, and I eagerly suck it in, inch by rock hard inch, until my lips are wrapped around the root and the head is deep in my throat. You begin to fuck my mouth, slowly at first, and I caress your balls with my other hand, feeling them begin to tense, feeling your cock begin to throb and pulse in my mouth. My fingers are moving rapidly now, wanting to come as you come in my mouth...... You slowly pull your glistening cock from my hungry mouth and move my fingers from my pussy. You lock your elbows under my knees, my legs across your shoulders and push your cock towards my dripping cunt. Holding it with one hand, you rub the head of it along my juicy slit up to my clit, teasing me, then back down where you rub my juices around my puckered asshole. Back up again and you slowly slip the head between my cunt lips. I try to thrust my hips upward, wanting every inch of you in me, but you have my legs pinned and I can't. You feel my cunt trying to suck you in, grasping at you greedily, but you don't move. "Please fuck me!" I moan, my hands rubbing at my clit. "I want to come!" You slap my hand away. "No, not yet!" you tell me. "I want you to beg me to fuck you," you say, pushing your cock in a little further. Then you pull it back out so once again the head is nestled between my cunt lips. I am writhing on the desk now, wanting to feel your cock all the way in me, filling me to the hilt. "Beg for it, or I'll stop!" you say, slamming it in in one long hard stroke and then pulling it almost all the way out again. "Oh yes!" I scream, "Please, please fuck me now! I want all of your cock in me! Fuck me, fuck me!" Your hot mouth covers mine, drowning out my moans, as you shove your cock all the way into my cunt and begin fucking me hard. Your tongue is raping my mouth as your cock plunges in and out of my cunt, filling it. My cunt grips your cock even tighter as I start to come, my screams filling your mouth. You feel my cunt pulsing around your cock as my juices stream out. You withdraw your cock from my cunt and stand up. "But YOU didn't come," I protest. "Oh, I will, I will, you'll see," you smile and I wonder what you are going to do to me now. Your cock is slick with my juices and throbs as I watch you walk to your coat closet. Reaching in, you pull a handful of ties from the closet and return to your desk. "Roll onto your stomach," you tell me, and I do so, my belly against the desk, feet on the floor. You begin to bind my wrists to the desk and my ankles to the desk legs, tightly, so that I can't move. I can feel my come puddled beneath my belly and still some oozes from my cunt. "Do you want more?" you ask me, slipping one finger into my cunt and stroking slowly. "Yes...." I moan, pushing myself onto your plunging finger. You slip your finger from my cunt and began massaging my asshole, smearing it with my juices and gently slipping your finger inside. Your other hand is softly stroking my clit, feeling it grow hard again. With your other hand, you rub your lubricated cockhead against the tight ring of my ass, forcing it inside, very slowly, stretching my cherry asshole to allow full entry for your hard cock. You push in another inch, then another, as my tight asshole contracts around your dick. It feels so good! Further in you slip, until your entire cock is buried deep. "Do you like it?" you ask me, and I answer you with a moan. Your fingers are moving faster on my clit now, every now and then sliding into my cunt to smear the juice over my clit. "Beg me to fuck your ass," you tell me. "If you don't beg, I won't come, and neither will you." Your fingers are rubbing my clit harder and I know I am close to the edge. "Rape my ass with your cock!" I moan, "Fuck me deep with it!" My moans seem to send you over the edge, for you begin fucking my ass in hard deep strokes, spreading my cheeks to allow you full entry, your balls slamming against my cunt. Your breathing intensifies with your plunges. "Rub your clit!" you say, "Rub it and come with me!" Your cock seems to grow even harder inside me and I begin to finger my clit in time with your rapid plunges, deeper and deeper you push, faster and faster, until I feel as if you are going to rip me in two. Suddenly your cock swells inside of me just as I start to come, and you shoot stream after stream of hot pulsating come deep into my ass. "Yes! Ahhhhhhhh YES!" you scream, your cock buried deep inside me, and I explode at that instant also, in a loud shriek of orgasmic pleasure. I feel your come dripping from my ass, there is so much of it, as you slowly withdraw your cock from me and untie me. When I turn to face you, you are dressed again. You gently pull my skirt down over my aching pussy and give me a long, deep kiss. "You're hired," you tell me."You can start tomorrow, and be prepared to take lots of DICK-tation !" Her Mortal Subject by Ariel Witch Ariel was soaking in the hot tub in the Wizard's room, relaxing after a long day of tormenting mortals in The Land. She was tired, and bored with dropping zombies and rats all over for mortals to stumble across. She was in need of a new and amusing diversion. She began looking over the mortals from her lofty vantage point above the forests and mountains, wondering if there was some unwitting fool she could hit with her potent Finger of Death, terminating their existence. Suddenly, she heard someone singing... she glanced around. How DARE a mortal sing in MY domain!" she thought, looking for the doomed perpetrator. There! There he was, in the main bedroom of the cottage! Cloaked in invisibility, Ariel transported herself to the main bedroom. Sprawled across the unmade bed lay a young and handsome mortal, bearded and clad in the garments of a wanderer. Ariel studied him closely, walking around the bed, wondering how any mortal could be so happy, and son unaware of her mighty presence. She tapped her foot impatiently... was he blind? Then she remembered her invisibility and incanted the proper spell. "Hello, oh wondrous witch!" the mortal smiled at her, as she took form in front of him. "Who might YOU be, mortal?" she asked, her voice cold, her eyes glaring down at him. He rose, towering over here, and enfolded her in a warm hug. "I am Kalthanas," he told her, "And you must be the fair Ariel!" Ariel disengaged herself from his embrace and gave him a steely stare. "hmmm," she thought, "The mortal has spunk! Maybe he needs to be taught a lesson in respect." Ariel quickly transported herself to the Royal Bedroom and explained her plans to the Dwarf Queen. The tiny lady chortled with glee on hearing what Ariel had in mind and gladly relinquished her chambers to the witch, closing the door behind her. Ariel closed her eyes, and uttered the spell of summoning. In a flash, Kalthanas was before her, but to her astonishment, showed no surprise or fear. He coolly looked around the room, taking in the small but ornate furnishings. "Nice place you have here," he told her, "But a bit small for a witch as magnificent as yourself." Ariel stamped one foot in exasperation. "Rise, mortal!" she exclaimed. "I do believe you need to be taught a lesson!" The young man smiled. "A lesson? Hmmmm.... you may find that I am quite a fast learner.!" he told her. Ariel stamped a foot in exasperation. THIS mortal was not making it easy! Kalthanas bowed low. "What is your wish, M'Lady?" "Undress me, mortal, and the lesson will begin." Kalthanas approached her and slowly removed her robes, laying them gently across the bed. Then he stepped back, his eyes raking over her, taking in her lovely form. Ariel felt a blush creep from her cheeks to her breasts. "Do you like what you see, mortal?" she asked him. She could feel herself becoming excited beneath his steady green gaze. Kalthanas smiled, a slow, lazy smile. "Indeed, I do, M'Lady," he told her. "Now what is your desire?" Ariel stretched across the bed and parted her legs slightly, giving him a glimpse of her dark, moist tunnel. "Pleasure me with your mouth," she told him, "That is, if you know HOW to pleasure a woman that way." Still smiling, Kal slid onto the bed, and moved Ariel's legs farther apart. He slid his hands beneath her buttocks and lifted her cunt to his face. He breathed in the heady aroma of her passion and lightly flicked her swollen clit with the tip of his tongue, feeling her cheeks clench in his hands. Ariel moaned softly, her juices beginning to flow copiously as his mouth moved over her. He slid his stiff tongue into her juicy cunt, lapping at her, savoring the sweet honey of her desire. He began licking her in low, slow licks, moving his tongue from cunt to ass and back to her throbbing clit. Ariel began to writhe beneath his touch. He started to lick faster, sucking and nibbling on her clit as Ariel bucked her hips, thrusting her cunt into his face. With a loud moan, she let go a flood of juices, which he eagerly devoured, lapping up every drop. Kalthanas arose and quickly removed his own clothing. His cock was erect, a glistening pearl on it's tip. It bobbed and swayed as he approached the bed, moving it within inches of her mouth. "I am sure that a fair-minded witch such as yourself wouldn't mind returning the favor just granted," he told her. Ariel licked her lips. She had not seen such a magnificent wand on a mortal in many a day. She took it by the thick base and began feeding it into her hot wet mouth, pausing to lick the pre- cum from the swollen head. Inch by inch she took it, until it was wholly buried in her mouth, savoring the taste of him, loving how his hot meat throbbed in her throat. Grabbing his ass, she pulled him towards her, sucking deeper and faster, wanting him to fill her mouth with his cream...... Kalthanas seemed to know what the witch wanted and he slid from her mouth, his cock glistening from her efforts. He moved between her legs, the tip of his cock at the entrance to her pulsing cunt. He slowly moved the head inside her cunt lips and held it there, feeling her cunt trying to suck it inside her. "Nay, M'Lady," he told her. "First you must tell me how much you want it." Ariel twisted beneath him. This was NOT going as she had planned. This mere mortal had HER begging HIM to fuck her! "Fuck me, mortal, do it now! Plunge that magnificent cock into my cunt!" With one swift lunge, Kalthanas buried his cock deep inside her. He placed her legs over his shoulders and pushed deeper, getting every hot hard inch inside her steaming pussy. He began to fuck her in long steady strokes, pulling his cock almost all the way out each time then plunging it all the way in. He could feel her cunt gripping him tightly, trying to milk him and knew that he was close to cuming. Ariel met his every thrust with one off her own. He could feel his orgasm nearing and he began to move faster, harder... he felt the contractions of her cunt around him and the sudden rush of juices from her as he began to spurt hot streams of cum into her eager cunt. "Oh yes, oh yes, she screamed. "I'm cuming, I'm cuming!" Her hips thrashed beneath him, her cunt sucking his cock of every drop of cum. He fell across her, his cock still throbbing inside her. Slowly he withdrew it and offered it to her lips. "Clean it, M'lady," he ordered her, and Ariel sucked their combined juices from his flaccid but still large cock. Kalthanas began to dress, and Ariel watched him. "I had intended to make you my slave," she told him, "But instead I am your slave for life." "I know," he smiled gently. "You may look forward to many more of these encounters." He kissed her hand and slipped from the chambers. Ariel lay back and closed her eyes, already dreaming of the next time. "A Difference In Opinion" by Kalthanas T. Mortal Where was the dragon? Kalthanas smelled the acrid fumes in the air and hurried his pace, all the while trying to stay silent, else he was dragon chow. He saw a large shadow behind him. It was too late! The dragoon had found him and was even now bearing down on him for the kill.... Waking with a start in a sweat-drenched bed, Kalthanas sat up, his heart pounding and his forehead throbbing. The usually unmade bed was even more unmade because of his somnambalistic struggles. A nightmare, he told himself, only a nightmare. He w as about to settle himself back in when he heard an intake of breath. Squinting into the shadows, he caught the outline of a witch in a red robe with day-glo astrological signs sewn into the fabric. Sighing, he sat back and said "I thought I smelled sulfur, Ariel." She giggled and approached his bed. Grinning, she said, "You would do well not to taunt me, mortal." and stepped out of her robe. His pulse quickened as her bare form was revealed in the moonlight in all its splendor. "Come to me, wench." he said with a smile. "I'll teach you to call me by my proper title, mortal." she was saying as she crawled across the bed towards him. Pulling aside the sheets from his still-sweaty form, she saw the stiffening rod she so longed for. Purring, she said softly, "Some day...." "...but not tonight," he finished for her, flashing another mischievious grin. She crawled over his body, pausing here to caress a thigh, there to lick his belly. At last she stopped, on all fours, suspended above him. They kissed, deeply, his tongue and hers caught in a fiery embrace. His agile fingers stroked her breasts twirling around the distended nipples. They broke, breathless. Turning, she reversed her position above him and wiggled her hips invitingly, offering her dripping snatch to his face. "Come, Master," she said with a sarcastic tinge to the word 'master', "Tame your horny witch yet again, else she will slip from under your power." "My slave you are," he said lovingly, "and slave you shall remain. But," with a tone of reluctance in his voice, "I am also your slave." With that, he plunged his expert tongue deep into her, causing her to gasp. His tongue danced and whirled wi thin her, doing things no other being could approach. Slowly, then quickly, he caressed her swollen clitoris, her juices falling on his face in a comparative torrent. Moaning, Ariel started to occupy herself with the wand that had so enchanted her. Licking its entire length, she stroked his balls and ran her fingers through his pubic hair. Long, slow licks that made his cock bob in anticipation. Slowly, she took him into her mouth. First, the head, which she swirled with her tongue, and pressed itsopening at the tip. Engulfing his penis inch by slow inch, Ariel showed her expertise, if not mercy. Kalthanas paused in his meal,mmmming in respones to Ariel's ministrations, then plunged back in with a will, sucking up her juices like a starving man. Finally, she reached the end of his towering member. Her mouth full, she started in on the long strokes that started Kalthanas aquiver. He laid flat, feeling her moistmouth caressing his long shaft. When he started moaning softly, she stopped, and licked off the single drop of cum that she had brought up. He again licked her dripping cunt, teasing her clitoris. He stopped and got to his knees on thjhe bed. He stroked her back and thighs, cupping her ass in his hands and slipping a finger in her pussy. "Mmmmmm," she said, or something close to that. Cupping one breast in one hand and guiding his cock into her from behind with the other, Kalthanas fucked her, plunging the long shaft deep into her dripping cunt. Ariel arched her head back and her toongue lolled out of her mouth, a noise halfw ay between a grunt and a moan escaping her lips. She increased the movement of her hips in response to his, her hands clenching the satin sheets tightly. "Yes," she gasped, "oh, Kal, yes!" and she came, bucking her hips wildly, her head and long blond hair thrown back almost viciously in her org asm. They slowed, and she disengaged from Kalthanas, pushing him back on the pillowcase. Again, she started on his rock-hard shaft. Slowly licking it of her juices, she took her time kissing it and running her hands up and down his hairy chest. She looked him deep in his half-closed green eyes and then plunged down on him, taking him fully in her mouth. Shaking, he was on the edge of coming after a couple of minutes of this, and she stopped. She pulled herself up to the bed and straddl ed him, her hand holding his cock at the entrance to her sopping slit, slowly running its head back and forth along her pussylips. She centered the head of his penis in her cunt. Kissing him deeply, she descended on him, feeling him fill heryet again . Moving slowly, she started a rhythm he was quick to pick up, his hands cupping her breasts. They still kissed, passionately, as the rhythm quickened. He finally came, the swiftness of the rhythm almost a blur, and they both collapsed exhausted on the poor bed, its unmade covers made evn more in disarray by their actions. They lay next to each other, the setting moon casting shadows on the wall as their pulses slowed and blood cooled. She ran her fingers through his hair and whispered, "Master..." He smiled at her and whispered back, "My master." The Suprise by Ariel Witch The office party had dragged on too long as I slipped the note into your pocket before I left. It reads "Hurry to my apartment, I have a surprise for you!" You quickly say your goodbyes and headed for my place. I open the door quickly to your knock and you enter. The only light comes from several scented candles placed around the room and you notice that the bedroom door is closed. "Care for a drink?" I ask you. I am wearing a black satin robe, tied loosely at the waist, and you wonder what I have on underneath it. You also wonder what the surprise is. "No, I had enough at the party." you say. "I know you're wondering what the surprise I mentioned is..." I say, untying the sash on the robe and letting it fall to the floor. I slip out of the gown and I am wearing a black lace corset, and a garter belt with black seamed stockings. The corset barely covers my breasts and you see two hard nipples staring at you invitingly. You reach out for me, but I avoid your hands. I run my fingers over my nipples, caressing them, feeling them grow even harder, feeling my cunt grow warmer and wetter. "This is not the surprise, Walt. I think you will like THAT even more!" I knock lightly on the bedroom door and it opens from the inside. "This is my friend, Hilda..." I tell you, as a tall dark haired woman enters. She is dressed as I am, only her outfit is red and her green eyes flash in the candlelight. "Well, Ariel, " she says, in a low husky voice, "I must say I admire your taste in men."" "Shall we all go into the bedroom?" I ask. "Let's help him get rid of his clothes, first," Hilda says, moving to you and unloosening your tie. "Oh yes, good idea!" I say, giggling and together the two of us have you undressed in no time. Each of us taking one of your arms, we head towards the bedroom and now you can see a large round bed covered in black satin sheets. "This is going to be fun," I say, with an evil smile...as we walk into the bedroom, your mind is whirling with thoughts of what awaits you at the hands of these two sensuous women. "Lie down on the bed, Walt," Hilda orders you and you crawl into the middle of the large, comfortable bed and lie on your back, seeing your reflection in the mirrored ceiling. I stare at your erect cock, licking my lips. As one, Hilda and I join you on the bed, she to press her mouth to yours and I to kiss and tongue your cock. As I work my mouth along the shaft, I caress your balls with my hands. Hilda is enjoying a tongue dance with you and her mouth is drowning out your moans. I move one hand to her sopping cunt and slide a finger in, getting it wet with her juices. I then move that wet finger to your asshole, smearing the juices around it and as I plunge my mouth down on your cock, I dart the finger into your asshole. When I do, you thrust your hips upwards, shoving every inch of your cock into my mouth. "Mmmmmm, what a wicked tongue you have..." Hilda purrs, and she turns to straddle your face, her dripping pussy inches from your mouth. At the same time, I straddle your hips, and, holding your cock in one hand, I center it at my own steaming cunt, and slowly lower myself onto it. Hilda and I are facing each other now, and as I ride your cock, she is riding your tongue, both of us moaning in delight. I reach forward and begin to stroke her breasts and she does the same to me, rolling my hard nipples between her fingers. I lean forward to kiss her, and as our mouths meet and tongues intertwine, my cunt clamps down around your cock and I cum, letting loose a flood of juices that drip down onto your thighs. Hilda cums too, filling your mouth with her hot honey, and my mouth with her hot moans. She climbs off of you and walks over to my dresser, where she removes my favorite dildo from one of the drawers. She stands by the bed, watching as I continue to ride your hard cock, wanting to cum again, wanting you to cum too. She slowly slides the dildo into her sopping snatch, and plunges it rapidly in and out several times. Then she climbs onto the bed behind me, and pushes me forward so that I am on my hands and knees, your cock still in me. She places the head of the dildo against my tight asshole, smearing the juices on it, slowly working the head of the dildo into me. You are watching this on the mirrored ceiling, not quite believing what you are seeing. The further in that Hilda pushes the dildo, the tighter my cunt grips your cock, and the faster I ride. Each stroke is a long one, so that just your cockhead is in me at the end of each one, then a fast plunge down to the base. As Hilda continues to move the dildo in a little deeper with each stroke, her other hand has moved to your asshole, where one long finger begins its slow journey into your anal tunnel. Finally, the entire dildo is in my ass, and she begins moving it in rhythm with my cock ride, as her finger keeps pace in your ass. You can feel the dildo against your cock as i ride you. The combination of sensations is too much, and I cum with a loud scream just as you erupt in hot jets inside me. "Yes! YES! YYYYEEEEEESSS SSSSS!" I scream, shaking and quivering with the intensity of this orgasm. As I feel you start to slip out of me, I feel Hilda slip the dildo from my cunt. She hands it to me, and then buries her face between my legs, licking up our juices. As you watch her voraciously eating me, your cock begins to harden again. I plunge the dildo in and out of Hilda's cunt as her tongue laps at my cunt. She notices that your cock is hard again and with a wicked smile she says "Think you are up to ass fucking me?" and gets on her hands and knees in front of you. You kneel behind her, and place your cockhead against her puckered hole. "Don't be gentle, " she tells you, "I want you to rape my ass with your cock!" With that, you roughly shove your cock in to the hilt, burying it deep. You spread her luscious cheeks apart, so that you can push in further. "Yes!" she moans, "Fuck my ass now!" As you begin thrusting in and out, I move beneath her and tongue her swollen clit. I watch your balls slap against her pussy with each thrust and it excites me so much, that I begin fucking myself with the dildo, keeping time with your plunges into her ass and my tongue strokes on her clit. As I feel myeslf getting closer, I begin to tongue fuck her, tasting her juices, feeling her cunt contract around my stiff tongue. You are the first to cum, filling her ass with your pulsing streams, and I follow shortly, my cunt clamping onto the dildo tightly. "Don't stop!" Hilda moans, and I don't know if she means you or me, so I continue darting my tongue in and out of her, licking at her clit, as you continue to fuck her ass. "Oh God, I'M CUMMING!" she screams and her hot honey covers my face. I do my best to lap it all up, but there is too much. You slip out of her and fall onto the bed, exhausted. Hilda collapses next to me with a contented sigh. "Mmmmm," is all I can manage. "Let's all shower," Hilda says, and I look at her, the evil glint in her eye matching mine. The shower stall is huge and there is planty of room for the three of us. I turn on the water and adjust the temperature and the spray so that it is a hot, pulsating stream. As I bend over to adjust the faucets, you approach me from behind, grabbing my hips and grinding your groin against me. Hilda presses her warm full breasts to your back and reaches around to give your semi-erect cock a none too gentle squeeze, as if trying to urge it back to its full hardness. "I dunno," you say. "I may need to rest for a while." Hilda and I smile at each other, knowing there will be no rest for you until the two of us are fully sated. The water set to a comfortable temperature, I turn and kneel before you, kissing down your belly and thighs, teasing you, watching your cock quiver and bob as it slowly returns to its former erect state. As it grows, I begin to lick along the turgid shaft, sucking your balls into my mouth gently, then licking back up to the head of your cock, teasing the tip with my tongue. At the same time, Hilda kneels behind you and gently parts your ass cheeks with her hands. She slowly runs her wet tongue around your asshole, then suddenly darts her tongue into it, just a bit at first, wiggling it slightly, then she worms it in a bit further and begins to thrust it in and out rapidly. When her tongue penetrates you for the first time, your cock swells in my mouth and I quickly move away saying "Hilda! Not yet!" She rises to her feet and reaches for the large bar of soap and the loofah sponge. As one, she and I wash you and each other, hands and suds everywhere, slippery sounds permeating the entire room. When we are all squeaky clean and rinsed free, i hand around large warm fluffy towels and we dry each other. I take pains to gently pat your throbbing cock dry, not wanting to stimulate you any more for the moment. "Last one on the bed is the slave," Hilda calls, and we dash to the bedroom, leaving you behind, your eyes half closed and feeling slightly weak-kneed. "Oooo, our slave! He has to do excatly what we say!" I murmur. "lay down, Walt!" You lay down in the center of the bed, cock once again pointing at the ceiling, as you stare at the two clean, sensuaous bodies next to you. "What shall we do?" I ask Hilda, with a small evil smile. "I want to watch him stroke his cock, " she says. She looks at you with her smoldering green eyes. "Did you hear me, Walt?" she asks you, her voice thick. "Stroke it....NOW!" Your hand steals towards your cock a,d you start to stroke it slowly, running your plam over the head, and then stroking the precum all along the shaft of it. Hilda's tongue licks across her lips as we both stare at your hand moving on your cock. We kneel, one on each side of you, and reach across you to kiss each other deeply. My right hand steals into Hilda's cunt and her left slips into mine, and we begin to ffinger fuck each other. Her right hand moves to your cock as does my left, and she pushes your hand away as together we begin to stroke you in perfect unison with our plunging fingers. Hilda moves her mouth from mine to tell you "Tell us when you are going to come, Walt..." and she lowers her mouth to my swollen nipple, and begins to suck and nibble on it. Our hands increase their pace, both on each other and on your cock. You have begun to thrust your hips up with each stroke, and the three of us fill the air with moans and sighs. "I'm going to cum..." you tell us....."NOW!" Two hungry mouths dart down to your cock and Hilda is the first there. She takes your cockhead between her lips just as you shoot your first pulse. She swallows and quickly surrenders your cock to me, and I cover it with my mouth just in time for the second spurt. As I swallow and continue to suck, Hilda's tongue races along your shaft, feeling it throb with every spurt, and I suck and swallow every hot drop. As your cock shrinks in my still-sucking mouth, I slide it from my mouth and push Hilda back onto the bed next to you. I push her thighs apart and bury my face in her cunt, licking along her furred slit, flickering her clit with my tongue, savoring her sweet taste. "Come here, love," she tells me, "I want to eat you too," and i turn, straddling her face, and moving my cunt with reach of her tongue. She gently parts my cuntlips with her fingers and begins to lick and suck at my pussy. We are both close, so close that within seconds, we are both shaking in orgasmic delight, juices flowing, tongues lapping. "Yes! Yes!" I scream, "Oh God, YES YES!!" "I'm cumming! I'M CUMMING!" her scream answers mine, and as our orgasms die down, we fall apart. I nestle my head on her thigh, and she continues to stroke my thighs and legs. Even though our lovemaking has excited you intensely, your cock remains soft. You move so that you can reach both of our cunts with your hands, and slowly slip a finger into each of us, stroking, feeling the hot wetness of our tingling pussies. Your fingers move inside of us, churning up our juices, feeling our cunts grow hotter and even wetter. My head thrashes back and forth and my hips begin to thrust to meet your hand's movements in me. Suddenly I push your hand away and jump from the bed. I move to the dresser and take something from one of the drawers. With my back to the bed, you can see me fastening something about my waist. Hilda's eyes widen; she KNOWS what I am doing. I turn around to face the two of you and strapped to my crotch is a huge, thick dildo. I slowly walk back to the bed, legs slightly apart, smiling. I stroke the dildo lightly, as if it were a real cock and pull it forward to show that it is a double headed one and the other end of it has been swallowed by my hungry pussy. "Oh, lover...." purrs Hilda, a gleam in her eye. "Are you going to fuck me with that hot nasty thing?" I slide onto the bed and begin stroking Hilda's inner thighs. You have moved away so you can watch this. You have never seen a woman fuck another woman. I kneel above Hilda and holding the dildo in one hand, rubbing the head all around the entrance to her sopping slit, then move it up to her clit, teasing, rubbing. "Ohh, hon," she moans, "Don't tease, fuck me NOW!" I slid just the head of the dildo into her and the movement pushes the other end even deeper into my cunt. She bucks her hips upward, but I just slowly fuck her pussylips with the head of the dildo, moving slowly in and out. "Do you want me to fuck you?" I ask her, poised above her, the dickhead nestled just between her cuntlips. "Yes," she moans. "PLEASE! FUCK ME!" I push the dildo in slowly, feeling it slide all the way into her greedy cunt, and the other end fills me. I begin to move faster now, in long strokes, and as the dildo pushes into her cunt, it is slipping out of mine. "Oh, lover..." she moans, her eyes slitted with pleasure. "Take it off for a minute, I want to feel your hot cunt against mine, I want to feel our clits together." I reach behnind and unstrap the dildo and let it fall to the bed. Hilda holds her cunt lips apart revealing her red throbbing clit. It is hard and almost as big as as a fingertip. I move up, one hand spreading my lips and slower lower myself onto her. Your eyes widen as you watch the hot female flesh merge, watch our hips grind as we rub our clits together. "Oh, that's so wet, so hot," she murmurs. "Let me fuck you with my clit." I move upwards slightly, my cunt over clit, which has grown even harder and and we move together, her clit able to move into my cunt for half an inch. I can feel it throbbing in me as our hips move. It feels almost like a miniature cock in me. I am being fucked by my lover without a dildo, just by her hot, hard, throbbing clit and it feels fantastic. The closer I get to cumming though, the more my need to be filled completely, so I move away and strap the dildo back on, inserting the other end back into my cunt. As you watch me getting ready to again plunge it into Hilda's waiting cunt, you move closer to me. You have been stroking your cock while watching us and precum is flowing from it as it pulses in your hands. "Start fucking her," You tell me, "Because I am going to shove my cock up your ass when you do." I plunge the dildo hard and fast into Hilda, pushing her legs as wide as I can so I can go deep. You kneel behind me, rubbing the slippery head of your cock around my asshole. "If you're going to fuck my ass, then do it!" I tell you, and you slam it into me, shoving it roughly all the way into my, pulling my hips back so that it is buried deep. As you plunge your cock in and out of my cunt, my movements into Hilda's cunt coincide with yours. I am fucking her and being ass fucked by you in perfect unison. I lean forward and kiss Hilda, a long deep kiss, our tongues meeting, probing. She begins to tremble and I can feel the sudden heat from her pussy. "I'm cumming!" she screams, thrusting her cunt up to meet my deep plunge into her, which causes the dildo in my to ram me hard and deep, triggering my own climax. You begin to pump faster into my tight as, which makes the double-headed dildo continue to fuck the two of us, and we both quiver in yet another orgasm. You pull my ass cheeks apart as you fuck me, opening me so that you can plunge in even deeper, and I feel your cock suddenly swell and I push backwards so that you are fully in me as it holds and shoots your hot cum deep into my ass. I collapse onto Hilda, sucking one of her hard nipples into my mouth. Your cock still pulses in my ass as you collapse across my back. The three of us lay sandwiched until we get our breath back, then you slowly slide your cock from my ass. I slip the dildo out of hilda and unstrap it, then turn to you and lick your cock clean. Hilda rises from the bed and smiles a slow, lazy smile. "I'm going to shower," she tells us and closes the bathroom door behind her. "I guess my night of slavery is over, huh?" you say, reaching for your clothes. "Not quite," I smile, wickedly....."Not quite....." I lay back on the bed, and spread my legs wide, showing you my dripping cunt. "You haven't eaten me yet," I tell you. "I want you to eat me and suck up every drop of my cunt honey." As I tell you this, I contract my cunt muscles and you can see it pulsing as you approach it. Lowering your face to my pussy, you suck at the lips, running your tongue along the slit and fastening your mouth on my clit. You gently suck it, tongue flicking it lightly, then lick back down to my cunt. You push your tongue into my tight cunt, tasting the sweetness of my juices, and you lap them up as they start to flow faster. Your thumb begins to massage my clit in slow circles as your tongue darts in and out of me. With a loud moan I cum, my juices covering your face as they gush out of me. You lick me clean, which is almost impossible because every tongue stroke causes a fresh flow of wetness from me. I smile at you and say "You are hereby released from your night of slavery" "As you dress, you wonder... will you ever be released from the spell of these two, hot, magical women? The Fiery Stream Of Desire by: Ariel Witch Heedless, we plunge headlong into the fiery stream of desire. Then, our passions singed, we bathe our blistered souls in cool disdain. Snapshot by: Ariel Witch You fade in my memory like some ancient, yellowed photograph on which creases have muddied the faces and time erased their expressions. Perhaps those people were smiling when the obliging camera froze them into permanence, I can no longer tell. Perhaps once, you smiled also. I NEED YOU by: Ariel Witch I need you. Yes, it is an admission of weakness but I am not ashamed. A great many things have been motivated by need and a great many people, more noble than I, have gone down on their knees for less noble needs than my need of you. My want of you is another story. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN by: Ariel Witch Green eyes are everywhere, haunting me, taunting me, dark, deep green eyes that flatter in wanting me. EIGHT HOURS A DAY, FIVE DAYS A WEEK by: Ariel Witch Five o' clock. Time to gather my thoughts and hide them in my desk drawer and hurry home to you. You'll have coffee and a smile waiting. But after today I want only the warmth of your arms and the sanctuary of your eyes. SWEET DREAMS by: Ariel Witch You invade the bleak wastelands of my dreams, violating the privacy of my sleep. I welcome this strange invasion of my worlds as I welcome the strong sanctuary of your arms. Somehow I knew that tonight you would come for I have scented myself with the essence of wild roses, draped my body in a silken gown, and now await your lingering caress. My lips whisper your name and you come to me, dulling my senses with the sweet opium of your kiss. I open myself to you and you enter my very being, as together we dance the pagan love song choreographed by our desire and performed upon the stages of our passion. WISHFUL THINKING by: Ariel Witch I saw you walking along the sand and I longed to call out to you, and to have you answer... But you were absorbed in your own fantasies and I was left with mere pieces of mine. FASCINATION by: Ariel Witch Do you know, I could look at you, naked, for hours. Your perfection fascinates me. There is no single turn of flesh, no line or muscle that does not blend in perfect symmetry. You are the very god from whose image man was cast. NULL AND VOID by: Ariel Witch As one we circumnavigate this timeless void called love. LINES by: Ariel Witch You lean over me to reach your cigarettes on the nightstand, pausing to touch my cheek (an afterthought, really- -a cigarette is first in mind) In the flare of the match I see your face tenderly lined with years of living and loving. Perhaps someday I too will be written on your face and someone else will read it and know me. Anticipation by: Ariel Witch I have waited too long for this moment, yet I want it to be quick and savage. I am so hungry for you. I want to feel your warm, wet mouth crushed against mine, feel our tongues dart and probe. I want to love your velvet skin with my eager fingers, trace the line of silken fur from your chest to belly with my tongue, taste all your secret places, take your warmth into my mouth, caress you with my lips. I want you inside me now now so hard and fast faster faster want to feel you deep inside me, tear apart my very soul with your strength. I am so hungry for you. For JoAnn M. by: Ariel Witch Hands folded in repose, your flowing hair a gentle, golden frame for the silent serenity of your face. Your eyes closed lightly and a faint smile gracing your mouth. Looking somehow as if only asleep. My Pet by: Ariel Witch Young sweet lion, taut, the forbidding jungle rhythm forcing your walk. How I long to have you at my side, sleek, proud. Wild beast of paradise, lean, hungry, you stalk the outer edges of my dreams, bidding me enter your domain, daring me to cross the fringe of territorial balance, taunting me with the promise your tawny body holds. How I long to run with you, free... free in the night storms, free in my day dreams, free... Harvest by: Ariel Witch We have walked through the wheatfields of our lives. Like wheels on the wagon of time we have moved through the golden minuets until, like sheaves of wheat, they have ripened with age and now are dust. Had we known that our lifetime would so soon be gone, we might have been quicker to live. We have run through the wheatfields of our time. Frolic by: Ariel Witch All today I was child in the thought of you. I climbed a tree and read all the names carved on it. I watched a couple making lazy love in the bushes, and children racing through the dusty heaps of leaves. We could have had a picnic here, you and I, and spent hours climbing trees, carving our initials and making love in the dusty leaves. Nothing In My Eye by: Ariel Witch Last night when you were leaving me you asked why I was crying. I said it was only something in my eye. Perhaps if I had told the truth you would still be here. Story by Ariel Witch The Lady Ariel was growing impatient. The sun had risen high in the sky and still her maidservant, Winifred, had not yet appeared to draw the bath. Ariel stamped one fott in exasperation. Damn! Where WAS that girl? Didn't she know that today was Fair e Day? It would not do for a Lady to arrive late! AAriel pulled her dressing gown around her and continued to pace the floor. There was a timid knock at the door. "Oh, do come in!" Ariel cried. "You are so late!Hurry and fill the bath!" Her back to the door, Lady Ariel dropped her gown to the floor and looked out the window to where tradesmen were busily setting up the stands to display their wares. She heard a loud intake of breath behind her and whirled around to find a tall, handsome youth staring at her nakedness, red-faced. "And who might you be?" she asked him. "I am William, Winifred's brother. She is ill and sent me in her stead." "And are you skilled in the arts of ministering to a Lady?" Ariel asked him. The youth was clad in thin home-spun trousers and tunic, his feet bare and dusty fromthe road. "Nay, M'Lady, but Winifred gave me instruction 'ere I left the house." "Very well, then, you may draw the bath." Ariel returned to the window. As she watched the Faire grounds being transformed, she could heard the splash of water filling the iron tub behind her. "The bath is ready, M'Lady," William said. Gracefully, Ariel moved to the tub, and slowly slid into the warm water, submersing her body completely, her head back against the rim of the tub, eyes closed. "Well done, William, " she said. "You may wash me now." When there was no response, she opened her eyes. William stood by the tub, his face again red, hands at his sides. "What is the matter? Have you never washed a woman before?" "Nay, M'Lady..." he whispered, eyes down. "I have never seen a woman undressed before." "Come, how old are you?" "Nineteen, M'Lady." "Nineteen and never seen a naked woman? I cannot believe that!" "'Tis true. I spend my time learning the art of swordsmanship. I have little time for anything else." Ariel had noticed the large bulge in the young man's trousers as he spoke. "I see, " she replied. "And it looks to me as though you have quite a fine sword, indeed!" She reached out one wet hand and softly placed it against the youth's erect cock, feeling the heat of his manhood through the thin material covering it. She could feel the tremor that passed through William's body as she touched him, causing a similiar shiver to course through her. Could it be possible? A virgin in the kingdom? The thought of having this delightful young man with the huge cock al l to herself started her juices flowing. She licked her lips as she smiled at him. "Today, William, you will learn all there is to the art of pleasing a woman. Would you like that?" "If it pleases M'Lady," he murmured. Ariel gently squeezed his throbbing cock. "I think THIS will please me very well indeed!" Ariel rose from the bath, the beads of water on her skin making her alabaster flesh shimmer in the sunlight. A drop of water perched upon one of her erect rosy nipples. She motioned for Willaim to move closer, and when he was next to the tub, she quickly tugged his tunic over his head, revealing his muscular and almost hairless chest. Her hands moved to the drawstring of his breeches, and slowly undid the knot there, loosening the tie and letting the trousers fall to the floor. Her eyes widened at the sight of his huge cock, sprouting from a nest of thick dark curly hair, and the heavy sacs beneath it. "Come into the tub with me," she invited him, "And let us wash each other." William slowly slid into the water, and Ariel sat facing him, the water covering both to mid-chest. His eyes were fastened to her firm breasts and the hard pink buds that tipped them. She saw his gaze and smiled. "Would you like to touch them?" she asked. William nodded. "Oh yes, M'Lady, very much!" Ariel took his hands and gently placed one on each breast. He remained motionless for a moment, feeling the heat of her skin against his wet palms. He began to softly knead her breasts, and his thumbs instinctively moved to gently circle the nipp les. A low moan escaped from Ariel's mouth. "Oh yes, William, that feels wonderful!" As his hands moved over her sensitive mounds, her hands moved to his cock and she began to wash him in soft strokes, her fingers tracing the length of his throbbing hardness. She could feel him trembling. "Are you going to come so soon?" she asked him. "I think soo, M'Lady," he moaned. Ariel darted her head beneath the water and took his cockhead into her mouth as her hands continued to pump his prick. In a moment he began spurting his thick cum between her avid lips and she swallowed hungrily until he was dry. She came up from the water and looked at William, whose eyes were half- tted with passion. "Did you like that?" she asked him. "I have never felt anything like it before," he confessed. "It was wonderful." "Come, let us wash each other and we can retire to my bed chambers, where I will teach you how to repay that favor. And then later on, you can slide that magnificent sword into my sheath." The lie By Ariel Witch It was a cloudless night. The full moon lit the trees surrounding the highway. My thoughts were not on the road before me, but on the man I had just left. Did I love Bob enough to marry him? Sorting out my feelings had never been easy for me, so my concentration was not on driving. One moment, the road ahead was clear, the next a man was standing about a hundred yards before me. He flung his arm up in front of his face as if to shield his eyes from my headlights. My foot move towards the brake, but it was too late. I felt the impact as the car hit him and the double shudder of the wheels running over his body. I didn't stop until I reached the safety of my apartment. I barely made it to the bathroom before I was violently ill. I stripped off my clothing, praying that a hot shower would wash the accident from my mind. It didn't, and I spent a fitful, sleepless night. The next day I called in sick to work, saying I had the flu. I scanned the morning papers but there was no mention of the accident. I chain-smoked and drank pots of hot, black coffee. I found the article on page three of the evening paper. It read: "Harold Evans, 23, was struck by an unidentified hit-and-run driver late last night on Highway 9. Police are seeking possible witnesses who may be able to identify the vehicle invo lved." Was he dead? The article didn't say and I wasn't about to call the police and ask. I returned to work the following day and was trying to catch up on unprocessed claims when someone approached my desk. I looked up to find a good-looking young man standing before me. "May I help you?" I asked pleasnatly, although I was annoyed at having my concentration broken. "I certainly hope so, Susan," the man said. "Who are you?" I aked, wondering how he knew my name. "I should think you'd recognize someone you'd struck with your car." "You're alive!" I yelped. "No. Actually, I'm dead. Quite dead." He paused, and glanced around the office where some of my co-workers had stopped to stare at my outburst. "please be aware that no one else can see me, only you, since you caused my all too early demise." "What do you want?" "That should be obvious, Susan. I want you to turn yourself in. It seems that I can't properly rest in the afterlife until someone confesses to my death." "I can't do that!" I hissed. "Is there a problem, Susan?" Mr. Armstrong, the office manager, was bending over my desk. "Are you still not feeling well?" "I'm fine," I answered. "I felt dizzy for a moment, but I'm all right now." "Then I suggest you return to your work since you're already a day behind!" Harold stood there, smiling, apparently pleased by my discomfort. "Turn yourself in, Susan. Until you do, you'll never be free of me. I'll be everywhere. Sometimes you'll see me, sometimes you won't, but i'll be there, nevertheless." My mouth hung open with my reply, but before I could manage a word, he was gone. "Everywhere, Susan...e v e r y w h e r e....." his icy whisper chilled my soul. That evening I stopped at the market to pick up a few things for dinner. "Not THAT tomato, Susan, it's not quite ripe." I froze at the sound of that voice. I truned but there was no one nearby. "Sometimes you'll see me, sometimes you won't...." Harold shared breakfast with me the next morning, although he, of course, did not eat. I saw him again at lunchtime in the mall across the street frerom my office. That evening he appeared in my living room, remarking on how comfortable my apart ment was. Bob had called several times since his proposal and I had been brusque each time. The phone rang then and I grabbed it, glaring at Harold. It was Bob and I invited him over. "He won't see me," Harold grinned," But YOU will. It should be amusing to watch you try to ignore me. Or perhaps I won't let you see me and I'll just watch the two of you make love." I called Bob back, saying I felt a headache coming on and wasn't up to company. The next few days were hell. True to his word, Harold was with me everywhere I went, day and night. I called in sick to work so often that I was finally fired. I was behind in my rent and my car was repossessed. All I had left was my sanity and I could feel my grip on it slowly loosening. "Harold!" I screamed. "Where are you????" "Right here, Susan," the icy voice purred in my ear. "You win, Harold. I can't take it anymore. I'm going to turn myself in." "Very good, Susan. As soon as you give your statement to the police, I'll leave you forever." At the police station door he said "I'll miss you, Susan. I've really grown quite fond of you. But now you'll go to your just punishment and I'll go to my eternal rest. Goodbye, Susan." The desk sergeant took my statement and I was held pending a trial. The jury found me guilty of manslaughter and I was sentenced to five years in prison. From the first day alone in my cell, my sense of freedom has been complete. I am begiining to relax now and no longer jump at the slightest sound, or wait to hear his horrid, icy whisper. "Hello, Susan.....Susan......I lied." The Witching Tree By Ariel Witch Deep in the Golden Forest, hidden from the eyes of those unfamiliar with the woods, near the edge of the clearing known as the Fairie Ring, stood a massive, gnarled Oak tree, its widely spread branches shading the entire glade, its twisted roots making the ground surrounding it almost unwalkable. The many birds of the forest chose to nest nearby in the delicate Ruby Trees or the graceful Willows, forsaking the leafy arms of the Oak for the beauty of the other trees. Seated in a circle in the clearing, the Fairie children listened as Queen Mab told them the oft-repeated story of how the mighty Oak came into being... "Many, many years ago, a brash young woodsman angered the Witch of the Woods, Leira, by destroying some of her oldest and most treasured trees," she told them. "And the Witch cast a powerful spell, thereby turning the woodsman into an ugly old O ak tree. She pointed to where the Oak stood, taller than the surrounding foliage, its trunk twisted, knotty and somehow, menacing. "There it stands, to this day, a reminder of the Witch's anger and vengeance. See how all the birds shun its branches? See how no grass nor flowers grown around its twisted roots? Its anger at being immobile can be felt in the very vibrations of the air around it." As she spoke, the branches of the Oak, heavy with masses of leaves, seemed to quiver in frustration. Wide-eyed, the Fairie children moved closer together, shivering. With a gay laugh, the Witch of the Woods came into the clearing, her arms wide. "Ariel! Ariel!" the children cried, running to the Witch and hugging at her legs. "Children! You'll make me fall!" she laughed, patting heads and chucking chins. "And you, Mab," she teasingly scolded, "Are still passing on that story woven by my Great-Grandmother." The Fairie Queen smiled, bent towards the Witch and whispered, " 'Tis a grand tale and keeps the wee ones in line, else I'd be chasing them hither and you through these woods." "I've always wondered why the forest creatures shun the Oak, " Ariel remarked. " 'Tis not an ugly tree. Surely its thick branches are sturdier and offer better protection from the weather than those of the Willow or the Ruby Tree." "Next to the other trees, the Oak IS ugly. Beasts are no different from humans in preferring beauty to utility." Mab clapped her hands together. "All right, children, time to gather mushrooms! Follow me and let's try and stay together, shall we? " She winked at Ariel, and with the children forming a scraggly line behind her, marched off into the surrounding forest. Ariel stood alone in the clearing, gazing at the Oak. "I don't believe that story for one moment," she said aloud, though she often wondered why there was only one Oak in the entire forest. Impulsively she went to the tree and encircled the huge trunk with her slender arms, pressing her cheek against the rough bark. She looked up, unable to see even the faintest glimpse of sunlight through the thick, leafy branches. She placed a gentle kiss against the wood, then turned and made her way bac k the way she had come. The weather was unseasonably warm for Fall and the Witch took advantage of it to swim daily in the Grassy Pond.The deep green lake grasses on the bottom tickled her feet and ankles as she swam. Several otters joined her in play and Ariel laughed at their frolicking. She became so absorbed in their antics that she did not notice the darkening sky until a bright bolt of lightning streaked across the black clouds. She scrambled from the water, hirriedly donning her gown. Too far from her cottage to attempt to seek shelter there, she made her way towards the Oak, but not before the raging thunderstorm broke with full force. Another lightning bolt split the heavens and Ariel shuddered, clutching the thick trunk of the Oak. Her eyes clenched tightly shut, she did not see the huge branches of the tree come down to gently encircle her trembling body, sheltering her completely from the vicious elements. As quickly as it had begun, the storm ended. The air assumed the wet promise of Springtime. Ariel slowly opened her eyes. The sun was shining once again and she felt its warmth upon her shoulders. She looked up into a clear azure sky. Wait! She HAD been underneath the branches of the Oak! She looked about in confusion. There were the Ruby Trees....there, the Willows....where was the Oak? As she looked about the clearing, she felt a gentle hand on her arm. Startled, she turned to find a woodsman standing by her side. He was tall and handsome, his green eyes the color of Grassy Pond, his arms muscular and tanned, his body hard wit h strength. "Thank you, M'Lady,"he said, bowing low and kissing her hand. "What did I do?" asked the bewildered Witch. "You were frightened and put your trust in the Oak. You sought shelter beneath his strong branches instead of those of the Willow or the Ruby Tree," "What has that to do with you?" He cupped her chin gently, so that she was forced to look into his eyes. "I was the Oak. I am Kalthanas, the woodsman your Great-Grandmother bewitched so many years ago. Your trust in me released me from her spell." "I don't understand," Ariel said, "How did that break the spell?" "You saw the inner strength the Oak had to offer instead of looking for outer beauty. You saw inside the Oak for hidden beauty....and found me." As he pressed his lips tenderly to hers, Ariel felt her heart begin to race as she realized the truth of the wodsman's words. They were married on the first day of Spring, at the site of where the Oak once stood. To this day, those who happen across the secluded clearing marvel not only at the beauty of the trees but at the large rock bearing the following inscription: "Be not afraid to look inside Nor fear what ye may find... For Beauty on the inside Is the most valued kind."
