512 Familial 'Love' (3)

With her vision obstructed thanks to the sand, Aethisia simply swung her spear out in a crescent, slashing everything in front of her and trying to keep Inik away long enough to blink away the sand.

Sadly for my sister, Inik flapped her wings and jumped back out of the way, before launching herself back at Aethisia and bringing her sword down towards the Deerkin's shoulder, hoping to crack and potentially break her arm.

Still blinded, she was helpless to defend against that strike, and I watched in slight horror as that wooden blade cracked against her shoulder, the Deerkin letting out a cry of agony as she used her other arm to swing the spear again in hopes of pushing Inik back.

The Hawkkin took a glancing blow to the shin as she tried to once more leap away, but considering the trade off that she had just obtained, that smug smirk of hers felt validated in her mind as she watched Aethisia rub the sand from her eyes and grab at her shoulder, which looked a tad out of place.

"Keep going, or do you concede, Aethisia~? How you feeling, hm?"

Spinning her blade, Inik met Aethisia's wet gaze as the Deerkin took a few deep, yet strained breaths before letting out another cry as she pressed her shoulder back into place, making me flinch as I saw her usually serious and confident expression warp in a way that wasn't pleasant.

My heart felt conflicted as I stared at the two warriors in front of me, the love that had blossomed and began to bear fruit for the Hawkkin going to war with the long, deep rooted love I had for my sister, whom I never wanted to see hurt, and yet... here we were.

"Keep going..."

Her red eyes were far redder than normal as she glared at Inik, and I watched as she slowly brought her spear to bear and pointed it at the Hawkkin, who chuckled and shrugged her shoulders as she began to saunter over to Aethisia, spinning her blade some more.

With the Hawkkin displaying her overly cocky style that just oozed confidence and pride, Aethisia decided it was her job to knock her down a peg as she suddenly shot forwards and jabbed forwards, catching Inik off guard for a brief moment and forcing the Hawkkin to fight defensively.

"Ah."

I glanced at Mama beside me as she smiled softly, her red eyes filled with dark amusement as she watched the two fight, and as if she sensed my confusion before I could even voice it, she muttered "Take a look at the Weave, Kalia. I apologize, but Inik is about to lose badly."

Blinking, I switched my sight from normal to the enhanced, wondrous gift that Mama had gifted to me all those months ago, only to gasp as I saw the bundling of vibrant azure and purple threads that were sparking around Aethisia's body, slowly but surely winding their way into her skin and into her muscles, making her quicker and stronger than before.

All the while, the Hawkkin was filled with an average amount of mana, but none of it was flowing around or in her as fluidly as it did in my sister, and I noticed that Aethisia was beginning to easily earn herself that advantage as she sent a flurry of jabs straight at Inik, who was desperately dancing around the attacks trying to not get hit.

"It's what she deserves, honestly... Aethisia told me a bit about what she was saying about Kalia, and I can't really blame her, y'know? I don't really know you, so don't tell me about how much you enjoy making love to my sister... that's just weird."

Camara stroked the back of Melia's head and made sure the baby was facing away from the fight, not allowing her to see her Dama fighting against someone and especially not letting her see her get hurt; as soon as she stepped over to join us, Camara glanced at me and added "I know it's a part of her charm and appeal, but she needs to learn to keep some thoughts to herself..."

"I know that... but I mean..."

Inik batted Aethisia's spear to the side and tried to shoulder check her again, only to this time have her shin cracked as Aethisia swiftly pulled her spear back and swung it forwards, making the Hawkkin hiss as she tried to slash at the Deerkin.

"She said she was nearly six Springs old at this point, so... can I really be the one to-"

"Doesn't matter; you're her woman, her partner. She needs to understand that certain things can be said, and others can't. Remember that, Kalia. Aethisia can be... a handful sometimes, but I keep her in line as best I can."

Sari snickered as she briefly looked away from the fight, resting her hands on Mama's shoulders as she whispered "I bet you do, Ca~ mar~ ah~! I can't even begin to say how often I find the two of you hidden away, going at it like a bunch of animals~!"

Sister Camara blushed hard as she covered Melia's ears, which only egged Sari on as she added "And how often have I had the two of you come find me to help blow your loads~? Little Camara here loves~ when I caress her cock with my feet~! Loves~ being stepped on too..."

"Hey!"

Hissing at the Catkin, Camara's blush remained the same as she tried to make Mama and I not judge her kinks, though I was more fixated on the way Aethisia had stabbed her spear between Inik's legs and smacked her ankle, making the Hawkkin stumble.

Her momentum carried her forwards, into Aethisia, who had cocked back her left fist and punched forwards to clock Inik in the jaw, sending the Hawkkin stumbling backwards this time, before she was dropped to the sand when the second fist hit her temple.
