Well, Judi and I had sort of settled in with our routines with Mirax. Usually, on every other weekend, the two of us would warp reality and head to Xenon to spend the weekend with Mirax. It was quite a lot of fun. We would make love, and he and his guards would watch. I would sketch or paint, and Judi would explore the marketplace with Mirax. My duties as Princess of the Gnomes began taking more of my time. The gnomes seemed to get a great deal of pleasure from doing crazy things to my body, and I had absolutely no complaints. They usually left me giddy and shaking like a leaf after a session with their wide variety of toys. In addition, every so often I would go down to the lagoon and take care of Isstvor's sea creature. It seemed that Isstvor had sent about fifty earth women, over the centuries, to the lagoon. Only five had ever had sex with the creature; the rest managed to escape. And only two had ever enjoyed it. I was the most recent. But his huge and oddly shaped member drove me wild with pleasure. Judi had transported to Xenon a few weekends by herself. She had finally overcame her hang-ups, and got around to sampling the delights of the guards. She had told me that their bulge was no fraud. They guards were completely covered with reddish-brown fur, and the bulge was caused by a hood around their penises, not unlike a dog's hood. When the penis was erect and out of the hood, it was a bright pink, about eight or nine inches long, and human-shaped with a slight upward bend. Judi said it was about twice as thick as a human penis. Judi said the guards could stay hard for about one hour. When they climaxed, she said, it felt like a quart inside of you. Well, by this time, the only humans Judi and I were having sex with was each other, and that was only when Mirax was watching. Judi had the guards, and I had the gnomes and Isstvor's sea creature. One Friday night the two of us bounced to Xenon. Mirax was sitting in his favorite chair, and was quite concerned. He informed me that the gnomes wanted to see me as soon as possible. It was a matter of great urgency. Mkzpl had passed a message on to Mirax that there was a serious problem with Isstvor, and my services would be required to address it. Well, since this appeared to be important, and seemed to be my first chance to execute my Princess duties, I slipped on a thong and boots, packed my kit, and decided to head to the gnome compound. Judi came along, wearing a pretty white bikini and sandals. She had never seen the compound, and decided a walk through the forest would be fun. We set off right away. When we got to the compound, Mkzpl was delighted to see us, as were the rest of the gnomes. They had never seen Judi, and were absolutely entranced. They wanted to work her over with toys. I told them that Judi was not my slave; they had to ask her. She sort of smiled and said she would think about it. Mkzpl and I headed off to a hut for a meeting. Along the way, I got my butt and nipples pinched a few times. That was one of the duties of a gnome princess. I had to be available. For how often I got poked and pinched in the compound, I could never understand why they made me wear a thong. It never stopped any probing fingers. Mkzpl and I settled into a hut with a pitcher of tea for our meeting. It seems the gnomes had received a message from Myra. Isstvor's palace was turning cold; the sexual energy was leaving. Isstvor seemed to be losing his power. Myra had told Mkzpl, in the coded message, that she had not had sex with anything in a month, including masturbation. She could feel and undercurrent of negative energy, and, if the energy was not restored, Isstvor would die. This could seriously upset the balance of power in Xenon. A number of lesser demons would strive for Isstvor's place. None of them were really qualified, and their rule could destroy Xenon. And their numbers were large enough such that Mirax would not be able to hold them. I thought about this for a while. I was not sure what I could do; I had never been to Isstvor's palace. All of my dealings with him had been through a representative of the gnomes. Mkzpl told me I would probably have to look at Isstvor. That would give me power over him, as no one had ever seen him. Mkzpl told me I could take some of Mirax's guards with me, but the fewer I took, the easier it would be for me to operate. I suggested Judi; the two of us were always looking for some sort of adventure. Mkzpl smiled and told me that was acceptable if Judi was willing. Since we would both be representatives of the gnomes, we would both wear the gnome uniform. Mkzpl told me to run it past Judi. After a good night's rest, we would be teleported in the morning. Well, Mkzpl and I went outside to sit at a table and socialize. We nibbled on some tea and fruit. Mkzpl told me to take my creams and my egg, and to use it in Isstvor's palace. The issue was low sexual energy, and I could help jump-start it with the creams and egg. I looked about for Judi; there was no sign of her. It appeared she decided to take a chance with the gnomes' sex toys after all. Mkzpl and I were sipping some tea when Judi slowly walked out of a hut. She was quite naked, had a very dreamy look in her eyes, and appeared as if she had just awaked from a very satisfying nap. I giggled; Mkzpl smiled. She had been played with. One of the gnomes informed me that my Princess title was safe. Judi had passed out after about an hour and fifteen minutes. That was still quite a long time to take the gnomes' tools. Judi came over to the table, smiling, and wearing a pleasant glow all over. One of the gnomes brought her a cup, and she joined us in some tea. I asked her if she wanted to go to Isstvor's castle with me as my bodyguard; we had to rescue Myra and find out what was going on. Judi agreed. I think she would have agreed to anything with the way she felt at that moment. Mkzpl informed me that he would have a pair of boots and a thong fitted out for Judi. She would not get a necklace; that was for the Princess only. He also said the gnomes would make her some creams and an egg like mine. We should use them when we got to Isstvor's palace, as they would be needed. Judi had moved away from the table and just stood in the center of the compound. She stood tall and erect, head held high, a big smile on her face. She folded her arms over her breasts, slightly spread her legs, and stood on her toes. I noticed a ring hanging between her legs. She still had an egg or beads inside of her anus. Oh my! Well, Judi just stood there, a big smile on her face, looking very happy. And then I noticed a gnome with a remote in his hand and an evil smile on his face. I had been there before. He was still teasing her. The little gnome would punch the remote every now and then, and I could see Judi's butt cheeks and upper thighs twitch. He was having fun. Mkzpl smiled, and whispered, "Watch. You have been through this, and you will see why we love it so." The gnome continued his play as he moved closer to Judi's backside. She was obviously enjoying the sensations. The gnome worked the remote, keeping her twitching a bit and standing on her toes. And then he reached up, grabbed the ring, and gave a quick, sharp yank! Well, Judi must have jumped about six feet. Actually, it was more of a hop, but it was, to say the least, one big hop. I giggled; Mkzpl smiled. I asked Mkzpl if I jumped that far and he told me not quite, but very close. Well, Judi turned around to look at us, saw the little gnome holding the string of beads and grinning evilly, and blushed. And then she settled down and joined us at the table. She got control of her emotions, poured a mug of tea, and smiled at Mkzpl. "Okay, when to we leave for this guy's palace?" she asked. "Tomorrow morning, early," answered Mkzpl. "After a good night's rest. We will have equipment for you." Judi and I got our baths in the pool and had a lovely massage from the gnomes. Then we went off to our hut to sleep. Before nodding off, Judi told me how much she enjoyed the gnomes and their play. She was surprised at the fact that I had never passed out. She hoped they could play with her again. We talked a bit more, and then fell into a sound sleep. Mkzpl awoke us early. We were provided with a nice breakfast of fruit and tea. Mkzpl then gave us our equipment, consisting of creams and an egg for each one of us. He told us to use them once we got inside of Isstvor's palace and not before. They would be protection against whatever negative energy was running rampant in the palace. Both Judi and I were given our clothing. We had one pair of boots, black, which came just below the knee. We were given three thongs, a red, white, and black one. We were told to start with the black. The other two were for changes in case we were in Isstvor's palace for a few days. I was given my gnome jewelry to wear. We stepped into the blue sphere the gnomes had conjured, and off we went. When we stepped out of the sparkling blue sphere, we were in a cold, damp dungeon. The walls, floor, and ceiling were all damp, fitted stones. I looked at Judi, and asked, "Which way?" She shrugged. We figured up was better than down, so we headed up.Chapter 8
