The time has come for Celeste and Lirin to celebrate their first birthday together in a decade and a half. Everything was gathered and ready. Two tents, blankets, and plenty of booze. If they wanted food, all they truly had to do was hunt. Larka wouldn't have to worry, as the twins were some of the best hunters from their group. Lirin met up with them at the house and they set out. It was planned to travel south through the desert, the rain forest, and Bohar Plains, then into the mountains to explore the ancense ruins. This was not only to help Celeste establish routes back home, but also just a nice long journey together and a destination to explore. Larka had some dark memories of the place, but that did not deter Celeste. She promised not to near the catacombs.

For the most part, the whole journey was uneventful, and the animals enjoyed themselves, chasing squirrels and other small rodents. The small party had to replenish their booze supplies in Adeluna before making the trek up the mountains toward the ruins. Many a night had passed with stories of the past sixteen years between the twins, how the couple met, their exploits together. There was just one small detail missing to make it exactly as the camp fires from home. Celeste and Lirin both seemed to have it on their minds, yet they refused to bring to light how much each had missed those times.

They made it up to the ruins, and Lirin looked out with satisfaction. The view was gorgeous up here. Celeste deposited her pack, turned to Larka and pulled her in a deep kiss, taking advantage of the fact that Lirin was looking in a different direction. Lirin turned toward them and chuckled softly. "Dusk approaches. Should we set up camp, then explore for a bit before the sun sleeps for the night?" Both the women agreed and assisted Lirin in setting up the two tents in an abandoned camp site, put fresh logs in the stone circle, but did not light it. There were two logs on either side of the fire pit for benches. Reika and Kyu were sniffing vigorously around the camp.

So much had happened in her life in such a short time!  She found her wife, and then found out that her wife has a twin sister, and that she already slept with that sister not too long before finding out that it was her sister in law.  She had been killed but then brought back by a Goddess, fought in a war against in the desert against an old god, and, top everything off, along with her wife, adopted a little five year old girl named Akira.  Larka's life was looking great at the moment, as far as she was concerned, and this was going to be a pleasant night as well.

Despite just adopting Akira, Celeste and Larka had agreed to set out with Lirin for a camping trip to the Ancient Ruins for over night, to celebrate the twins' birthday!  Tents, blankets, and booze.  Larka was woried about the booze not wanting to fall back into old habits, but Celeste was okay with it tonight and Larka knew that Celeste would support her afterwards as well.  So, one last night of drinking and then she'd get back to trying to be a responsible person, more so now that she had a little one to take care of.  Speaking, Akira was with Rowan and his daughter until Larka and Celeste came back for her.  It had been hard parting ways so soon, but it was only for one night they had promised before setting off.

Along the way they caught up with everything that had happened to them all, how Celeste and Larka met, what they had done together, Larka had offered up more of her own past to Lirin as well.  Kyu and Reika were tagging along running around and sniffing everything they could as they arrived at the place they had decided to camp out for the night.  Larka had been here before and it hadn't been the most fun fighting the undead thing and its zombies, but at least she had made a friend out of it.  She was suddenly pulled into a kiss with Celeste and smiled as she returned it.  She heard Lirin chuckle and speak and Larka agreed, helping as best she could set up the tents and got a fresh fire ready to go.  She knew that Celeste and Lirin could hunt food enough to make up for what they hadn't brought, most of the booze was in Larka's endless bag since she didn't feel the weight of it while it was in the bag.

"This place is beautiful, despite the history of the place, and what happened with me here that one day, damned undead."  Larka commented, blinked and looked to Lirin.  "Uh, present company excluded, of course."  She smiled catching herself, Lirin had survived her past by becoming a vampire, which Larka sometimes forgot, since she didn't act like most vampires Larka had known.  "So, do we head inside and look around or do you two want to hunt first?"  She asked them both once the camp was finished and ready.

Celeste did not want to admit it. She was getting rather fatigued by the time they made it up to the ruins. Training every day with Larka was nice, running every morning was invigorating. Yet, Celeste still had quite a ways to go before she was still completely back to her peak. While there was a mild curiosity to explore, there was a strong desire to sit and rest. Hiding it the best she could, Celeste assisted with setting camp. No matter how hard she attempted, it still showed with the growing lack of dexterity in her fingers.

The vampire laughed, waving the comment off. "You two can explore or she can hunt. I think I'm going to rest a little while, enjoy the view." There was no use denying it farther. Lirin was already scrutinizing her, raising her eyebrow as if to say "Are you sure you're alright?". With an offhand comment of going to hunt for them, Lirin disappeared into the wind, quite literally. Celeste didn't want to think of how Lirin hunted, even if her sister assured her that Lirin needed less time to hunt since she found this chalice with overflowing blood.

Pulling Larka down, Celeste snuggled against her wife. "I'm fine." she assured, "Just a little tired… I wonder how Akira is doing." Surely, the child was well, but it was a distraction for Larka to worry about versus Celeste's fatigue after a long journey. "We should make a fire, have it ready for when Lirin gets back." Yet, she didn't want to move. Reluctantly, she did, and helped Larka build the fire, pulled out one of the bottles of mead, and began to drink from it.

She was staring into the fire, feeling glowy and warm, still unusually silent when Lirin finally came back. In her hands was a couple of plump rabbits, ready to be skinned and boned. "Rabbit stew?" Celeste giggled, remembering one night that Lirin and several of the other elves sat around a fire eating that dish. "Remember when Malik spiked the stew?" Lirin laughed. "Yes and you're well on the way of being drunk." "I've only had…" Celeste lifted the bottle to eye the contents in the fading light. "Half the bottle?" It was actually closer to three quarters.

"On an empty stomach, no doubt." Lirin began to prepare the rabbits for the meal, something she would probably partake in, even if she did not require it.

Lirin went off to hunt and Larka stayed close to Celeste, curious and a little worried like Lirin was, but Larka didn't want to upset her wife by bringing it up again. But Larka didn't need to as Celeste pulled her down to sit and spoke, saying she was fine, just a little tired. ”I'm sure she's fine, Rowan and his daughter looked after her, in a way, before, I trust them now. Besides, now that people in the city know she's our daughter, if anything happens they'll look after her until we get back if they can't find us right away, though I'm sure Angela can find us right away if needed.” Larka replied trying to ease Celeste's concerns over their adopted daughter.

Together the couple made a fire and soon had a nice warm glow going as they sat cuddled together. Celeste had brought out some mead, something that Larka couldn't stomach, one of the few drinks she couldn't handle, and she had drank some strong shit in her life. So she fell back on her old standby of rum from the bottle and they drank in silence, not needing to say anything, until Lirin came back with some rabbits.

Celeste's giggle made Larka smile as the sister's spoke of their past and spiked stew. Larka grinned at the drinking comment from Lirin and held up her own bottle along with Celeste. ”Same here.” She chuckled as Lirin started to prepare the rabbits for cooking.

After a moment Larka got up and helped, she got some water over the fire to boil and added some other fresh ingredients in they had gotten ready ahead of time. Leaving that to Lirin for now Larka reached into her endless bag and removed a wheel of cheese and some fresh-a-few-hours-ago buns and a small bit of butter. She had some knives and forks as well.

When the meal was ready Larka was hungry and the three sat close to the fire as they ate. Larka smiled and reached into her bag again and removed a bottle of red wine and three glasses. She set the glasses down and fiddled until she got the cork out, clamping the bottle between her thighs and pour all three glasses. With a smile she had one each to Celeste and Lirin before taking one up for herself. ”I know it's a little formal for what we had planned. But I wanted to say, how special this occasion truly is for us. For everything that we have all been through in our lives, what we have endured and lived through, in the end, for all of that, we are still here on this day together. I have my wife back, and you have each other again, and now we have a little girl of our own.”” A few years fell from her eyes. ”I couldn't ask for anything more in my life right now, I can't think of anything that would make it better than it already is. Lirin, I am happy that I have met you, and that you are back in Celeste's life and in mine as well.” She had looked to Lirin at that time but now looked to Celeste. ”Celeste, my lovely wife, to have you with me again, I am whole once more. I love you more than life itself, and I'll scream it to the heavens if I have to. You are my rock in life, the one that I always know will be there for me as I will be there for you, always. Akira is a blessing for us as well, we will do right by her, as best we can as mothers to her in this crazy and sometimes fucked up world. She will of course choose her own path, but it's all we can do to make sure she does what she believes is right for her and support and be there for her when she needs us, no matter how old we, or she, are.” Larka choked a little bit and giggled, giddy with the mood of the night and the drink. She held her glass out to toast unless one of them had something to add to what she had already said up to now.

"How long has it been since you've actually drank?" Lirin knew she hit a sore subject by the momentary flash across Celeste's face, and instantly regretted it. "That bad, huh? Don't say anything. I understand." The meal cooked and being consumed, the girls watched Larka pulled out the wine. Celeste did not bother offering the single armed woman if she needed help, and Lirin assumed it had something to do with Larka's independence. By not offering, Celeste was acknowledging Larka's strength, or some sappy love stuff. Honestly, Lirin was kind of jealous of her sister for having found a love such as Larka.

Each twin accepted their glass with a returned smile and a whispered thanks. The vampire nodded her head low to the toast to her, and listened to Larka's words to Celeste. She was tearing up, proving to be more emotionally unstable than she had ever been. Poor Celeste still had a very long road to full recovery, and Lirin idly wondered if she would ever fully recover. At the end of it, Lirin smiled at the loving couple. "Larka, I am pleased to have met you, and I will always be grateful for the protection and love you have shown for her when I could not. While life-boons generally require you saving my life, I owe you such a boon for protecting that which has always made me whole. Celeste, lethalin… Congratulations on a life that we have dreamed of since we were young. A loving spouse, a wonderful child, and a honest set place in the world. We have both escaped the oppressive thumb of our family, and enjoy our freedom. Happy birthday, sister."

By now, Celeste was balling, barely able to keep the wine from spilling from her glass. Quickly, Lirin downed the wine and went to pull her sister in a tight hug. Larka was there as well, smothering the emotional elf with love and affection. "I brought you something. Would you like to see it?" Celeste sniffed and nodded. She retreated to her bags and pulled out a wrapped gift. Handing it to Celeste, she eagerly watched her sister. Systematically, the wife began unwrapping the gift, almost afraid to reveal any single part of it, rather wishing to see it as a whole without ripping the wrapping. Underneath all the wrap was a new quiver. The leather was supple, with metallic, and quite intricate designs of elvish ivy swirling all over. In the center were the elvish runes for each of the elements.

Magic hummed under her fingertips as her hand gingerly traced the ivy. "It's gorgeous. Ma seranas." From out of her pocket, Celeste pulled out her own gift for Lirin, neatly wrapped as well. Handing it to the vampire, she watched as Lirin unfolded the paper to reveal a pair of bats. The first hung upside-down from the necklace, the other held the clawed wings of the first, with a ruby in the center. "It's enchanted to create several bats to be your eyes and ears from a distance. See, I have an identical one as well." "It's perfect. Thank you, I'm sure it will come to use in the future."

They chatted for a spell, and drank plenty more. Celeste was completely drunk now, yet it was still unnoticeable in many ways. Unlike most, the twins never slurred their words until they were close to passing out from too much drink. Holding their head steady all the time was a different story, and more noticeable than if they had tried to walk. With their grace, they'd only stumble half as much as the average drunk. "Oh, Celeste, your lips are akin to cherry blossoms. So perfect, so supple." Lirin giggled. "If you like them so much, why don't you kiss them?"

And thus, they have traveled back in time with Larka. Carefree, drunk, and in each others arms, kissing each other ever so softly. Lirin moaned and pressed deeper, one hand reaching up to massage a breast, the other pulling Celeste closer. Yet, as most would disapprove of incest, Celeste had her fingers entwined in her sister's hair, and the other caressing as it roamed.

As she ended her little speech, Larka wiped some tears from her eyes and looked to Lirin as she started to speak now. Larka smiled at the words. ”Happy birthday, ma vhenan.” Larka added at the end of Lirin's speech, joining in the hug with Lirin around the balling Celeste. Larka stayed close as Lirin handed Celeste a present and she watched her wife open it to reveal the beautifully made quiver of leather and metal. ”Gorgeous indeed.” Larka chimed in with a smile. Next Celeste had her own present for Lirin, but it was one that Larka knew about already, and it wasn't because Celeste had told her about it, at least not directly. As it stood, Celeste did not know that Larka was the one replying to her journal entries for weeks now.

After the exchange of gifts they chatted idly for a while, all three getting rather drunk and Larka's years of experience in that regard allowed her to easily hold her own with the two elves. At some point though Lirin's words to her sister made Larka stop and raise a brow. However, Celeste's reply made Larka's eyes widen a little, the actions there after and Larka's jaw dropped to the ground.

She watched in fascination as the two kissed and their hands roamed, yet as Larka thought she shouldn't have been too surprised. Indeed Celeste had mentioned nights such as this when the twins were younger and out with the hunting parties, nights around campfires enjoying each others' company. Larka hadn't though, that they would be together such as this but was now before her own eyes.

The Reaver watched for a few moments before coming up behind Celeste and wrapping her arm around her wife. Smiling to Lirin over Celeste's shoulder Larka started to place kisses on Celeste's neck while her hand explored Celeste's midsection. Her lips moved up to kiss and gently nibble on Celeste's ear as her hand roamed further down under Celeste's pants and between her legs and started to rub. ”Ar lath ma, vhenan” Larka whispered into Celeste's ear as she started to kiss at her neck again, fingers rubbing a little harder.

Larka coming up behind her was not surprising, in fact it was expected for Celeste. Lirin, in her drunken stupor merely smiled as she continued kissing her sister. The small moans coming from the warm twin were so damn sexy, the vampire could barely contain herself. Slowly, the shirt came off, exposing near flawless pale skin, warm and delicious in the moonlight. As Lirin descended upon Celeste's exposed nipples, she could feel her sister's heartbeat begin to accelerate under her fingers. Her back arched, pushing herself further into Larka's fingers, one hand moved to entwine in Larka's hair while the other remained in Lirin's own.

Gods, how long has it been since she was in between two women? Yes, she was still a recovering drug addict, and found some escape in alcohol which was rarely in their possession, but this was a different drug all together. Larka knew her weaknesses all too well, her fingers expertly finding them without effort, even under the strain of her clothing. Where they had not had sex for a long time, it seemed that Lirin had not lost her touch, yet mastered her own techniques as she massaged and licked at Celeste's breasts. The vampress paused long enough to take her own shirt off, followed by Celeste's pants.

Lirin took over for Larka's fingers, licking and sucking the tender quivering lips slowly, Celeste shifted so she was now kissing Larka, her own hand down the reaver's pants for a little payback. All the while, the moans were soft and delicate, Celeste's cheeks were pink, and she was figuratively drowning.

Larka was getting very aroused at this scene now that she was taking part in. Celeste's shirt was removed to expose her chest that Lirin went to pleasure, while Celeste arched her back to push her against Larka's seeking fingers while taking a hold of her wife's hair at the same time. Larka smiled as she continued kissing Celeste's neck, feeling the wetness of her wife on her fingers and knowing from that how much pleasure she was already having; and they had only just started.

Not too long after Lirin removed her shirt and then Celeste's pants were removed so Larka took her own shirt off as well now to join in the naked fun. Larka felt Lirin moved downwards in front of Celeste and grinned as the vampire used her tongue to take over for Larka's fingers. Larka brought her hand back up and licked Celeste's wet off her fingers until Celeste turned herself enough to start to kiss Larka who returned it with equal love and lust while Celeste's fingers went down her pants. Larka moaned slightly, to have her wife touch her again like that, she had dreamed almost nightly of it since Celeste's disappearance two years before.

Larka took a moment to get her own pants off before returning to place with Celeste, wrapping her arm around her wife to massage her breast while resuming the kissing with renewed vigour while moaning against Celeste's lips for what she was doing to Larka's womanhood. After a little while of enjoying her wife's lips and tongue Larka giggled, giddy and horny all rolled into one. She stopped the kissing for a moment and kissed Celeste's cheek before reaching down to tap Lirin on the head. ”My turn, I've missed that taste.” Larka spoke softly and shifted around to Celeste's front.

She gave a quick but lust filled kiss to Lirin, tasting both on the vampire's lips, before she placed her lips to Celeste's cunny and it took no time for Larka to remember all the spots where Celeste was most sensitive or liked some pressure on. Her eyes were looking up, always looking to Celeste, or a glance to Lirin, but the Reaver's eyes were all for Celeste. She only paused long enough with her lips and tongue to grin to Celeste. ”It's close enough to that time for me, I have the solution ready to mix in my bag. The choice is yours, ma vhenan, if I drink it or not.” Larka informed as she went back to what she had been doing before, licking and sucking at her wife. Larka's Reaver solution, all she had to do was mix the dragon's blood provided by Toya with the rest of the ingredients that were already mixed and she'd last all night easily with the vampire and elf before her. But Celeste knew what that stuff did to Larka, so Larka left it Celeste's choice to drink it or not, eventually Larka would have to anyway since it was what was keeping her alive. But she didn't need it now in this moment, she could wait a day or two before she needed to.

Lirin looked up and smiled mischievously to Larka as she moved off of her sister, allowing the reaver to take her place. Immediately upon Larka lowering herself to Celeste's womanhood, the elf's hand shot out and held her wife's hair, throwing her head back. The vampire knew it made sense, as they were married, that Larka would elicit such reactions from the breathing twin. She decended upon the exposed breasts. "Mmm… drink it, drink it and fuck me." Celeste begged as she motioned to Lirin. Laying all the way back on the ground, the vampire was guided to practically sit upon Celeste's face.

Humming with pleasure, Lirin played with her own breasts, watching Larka as she retireved something from her bag. Even with the scent of sex saturating the air, blood was noted as one bottle was uncorked, and poured into the other. It smelled old and powerful, and Lirin attempted to tuck the information away for future inquiries. The results of Larka consuming the concotion was nearly instantaneous as she descended upon her wife once more. "Larka… I have an idea." Lirin stood, listening to the almost inaudible sound of disappointment as everything was ceasing, even if momentarily. Guiding the reaver to lay on her back, Celeste was encouraged to get into the sixty-nine position over her. While Larka went back to her attention between her wife's legs, Lirin began showering attention to the elf's ass, pressing her tongue into the tight little hole.

To this, Celeste was more than happy to share attention with Larka, tasting her wife for the first time in ages. If it wasn't for the extreme arousal, she'd probably start crying again. After some time, she couldn't stand it any more. "Fuck me, Larka." She repositioned herself until their vaginas were pressed together. Larka held her leg close as she did as commanded, Lirin taking the opportunity to play with both of their breasts and kissing them.

Larka smiled as her wife said to get the solution and drink it, Larka gave a parting kiss to her wife's lips before going to bag, watching Lirin sit on Celeste's face. She got the two bottles out and uncorked them pouring the rich blood into the other and corking it again long enough to shake it a bit to mix everything inside. The bottle became warm in her hands as she opened it and chugged down the black liquid inside and tossed the bottle to the fire to burn. Larka started to shake for a moment as the solution ran through her body before she got controlled and opened her eyes, red eyes like if she was in a fight and wounded with her powers activating. Only now she was in overload and needed to burn off the excess power, and the most fun way she knew how was fucking her wife silly for hours.

Larka went back between Celeste's legs again and started to lick, only to have Lirin speak up with an idea. While Larka was guided to lay on her back, she spoke softly a warning to Lirin. ”If you ever see that what I just drank at house, vampire or not, and blood based or not, it could still kill you.” She left it at that, she could explain more another time, but for now she was more happy having her wife lay on top of her. Larka smiled and went back to what she was doing before, licking and tonguing Celeste while Celeste started to do the same, making Larka moan quickly, she hadn't forgotten any of Larka's sensitive spots it seemed. Larka was much the same, if it wasn't for all the list she may have cried as well having Celeste making love to her again after so long. Larka's eyes smiled up to Lirin who was licking at Celeste's ass, much to Larka's enjoyment to watch, she didn't mind a little fingering there now and again herself. Larka reached out with her hand to massage one of Lirin's breasts as well.

Eventually Celeste changed things, and wife and wife soon had their vaginas pressed together and Larka started to thrust and used her hips to rub them together roughly. Moans of love and lust filled the air while Lirin, who would have a turn soon enough, massaged their breasts. The night was made for their love and it continued for some time.

---

Hours had passed, and the love making had come to end, but all three women were still awake, but tired. They had made a soft place to lay together with their blankets and were a tangled mess of legs and arms around each other, all smiling and sated. Larka's solution had tapered off back to her normal levels again. In the afterglow they just rested, perhaps a little would happen, but perhaps not as sleep was slowly coming to each of them.

In her dreamy state with a large smiled Larka spoke, softly still as not to ruin the mood, and still a little drunk on booze and lust, so she wasn't thinking on what she was saying. ”So, this is what you meant in your journal of those nights with the hunting parties when you were teens. Or with Ninal when you were drunk with Lirin.” She smiled and then after a second to think on what she had said, opened her eyes to look to Celeste, since that information wasn't something Larka should have known. It was contained within Celeste's journal.

”Um.” Larka started and then stopped, well, looked like the jig was up then. She used her foot to get hold of her bag and got a hold of it. She reached in and got out the book Celeste had seen her writing in a few times, but never had read. Larka tossed her bag out of the way and laid back down again with the elf and vampire before handing the book to her wife without a word.
