I wasted absolutely no time.

I\'ve wanted to do things with Artoria for a long time now, but I also hadn\'t wanted to pressure her. She had her own baggage that she\'s been working through since we met, and I didn\'t want to make her uncomfortable just because of my own horniness.

So, whatever she was ready to do at this point, I was more than happy to oblige.

My beautiful knight who was oftentimes completely oblivious to her own appeal.

I stood up as Artoria slide off her seat, moving down infront of me, on her knees. She looked up expectantly as I started to undo my belt.

My member sprung free from the confines of my pants. I almost ripped them off in my excitement.

Artoria\'s eyes widened as my manhood stood erect in front of her face.

"It\'s big, isn\'t it?" Yasaka said, sliding right down next to Artoria.

Two of my girls on their knees, for my own benefit.

"Will it fit....?" Artoria said in a hushed voice.

"Oh, it will, trust me." Yasaka giggled, taking her hand and giving me a little brush. "All your cute, tight, holes will stretch right around him and you\'ll love every moment of it. But that\'s for the future, you wanted help pleasuring him like this, yes?"

Artoria nodded nervously. "I wish to help relieve him."

"Good, we\'ve talked about how to go about it. Would you like me to show you or do you want to take the reins?"

"I-I will do it." She swallowed, her dainty hand slowly reaching up to grip me.

Yasaka let go, giving Artoria freedom to do as she pleased. "No need to be shy, do you feel how hard he is? That\'s all because of you."

Artoria slowly ran her hand up and down my length, getting more used to the idea, her hesitation slowly dying down as she got more comfortable. "Then....I shall proceed...." Her face was still flustered beyond measure. She looked up and met my eyes before slowly moving her head. Her tongue stuck out as she made contact with my tip.

I know she wasn\'t doing it on purpose, but the teasing was excruciating, to the point where I tensed up when her tongue started moving around my cock.

Clearly inexperienced about it, but still it had its own charm. The awkward movements of hers only made the act all the more endearing. The fact that she was willing to do this for me, my innocent and sometimes na?ve Artoria was doing something so lewd, made it all the more special.

My head passed her lips, and her tongue made sure to inspect every part that was inside her mouth.

"While the tip is his most sensitive spot, and where you should focus the most, you need to give the remainder of his cock attention as well." Yasaka stated.

Artoria slid her head backwards, her lips popping off. Her eyes locked with mine again, her head turned sideways, and her tongue began making its way down my length. Her hand also began moving, massaging my tip as she made sure to lap up every part of me.

"There you go, he\'s nice and wet now." Yasaka\'s hand took hold of my shaft, moving it up and down. Artoria moved back to suck on my tip. "Now you need to pump him nice and firmly while you try and suck out everything he has to give."

"Like this...?" She mumbled through my head as she slowly bobbed back and forward. Her tongue swirled around the tip of my cock. Her hand firmly took hold again, mimicking Yasaka\'s actions.

"There you go, but not too hard." Yasaka nodded, the combined effort of them both working down my full length.

I could feel my toes curl up. Their continuous ministrations were really setting me over the edge. Add in the fact that Yasaka was sitting there teaching Artoria how to properly handle my cock, it really was too much to handle.

"Oh my, get ready." Yasaka let go, lining herself up besides Artoria.

"W-what do I do?" The King of Knights let go with her mouth.

"Don\'t stop, pump him hard and quick and present your face. Give him a good reason to finish for you."

Artoria looked up at me again, those pleading eyes of hers, both her hands firmly around my full length, hastily moving up and down. "I-I desire your seed, Wilhelm." Her mouth was even slightly ajar, waiting for me.

I couldn\'t hold back from that if even I wanted to.

With a groan, the first rope of cum landed across her face. She let out a squeak of surprise, closing her eyes. However, she didn\'t stop, even if it became a little awkward, she continued to milk me for everything I had.

Each jerk of hers, more of my seed landed up on her face, and some landed in her mouth.

"There you go, don\'t stop. Even if no more\'s coming out, make sure he feels good until the end." Yasaka cooed, continuing to guide her.

I felt myself relax, letting out a content sigh.

Artoria\'s firm grip on my member finally released. Her face was dripping now, an erotic look counteracted by the sheer innocence she was exhibiting. Her tongue snaked out, licking around her mouth as she visibly swallowed everything that made its way inside.

"Did I please you?" She asked, her embarrassment still evident despite the lewd act.

"You did wonderfully." I reassured her. I didn\'t want to coax or lead her before, letting her do what she wanted or what she set up and planned with Yasaka, but that wouldn\'t stop me from praising reassuring her however.

Seeing her smile while she was still covered in my....I couldn\'t help but twitch even after finishing.

She looked back down to see me still erect. "You are still..."

"Our man is someone who can go many times." Yasaka giggled, a finger of hers dabbing across Artoria\'s cheek before she put it into her mouth. "Do you want to stop here, or do you want to keep going?"

".....I will make sure he is fully relieved." She said with a resolute tone.

"Aren\'t you daring?" Yasaka chuckled, her hands moving up from underneath Artoria\'s arms. "How about we give him something to keep him nice and hard?" Her hands pawed at the first of Artoria\'s buttons.

Artoria didn\'t resist in the slightest, nor did she even seem unnerved as Yasaka began undoing the buttons of her blouse. Pulling it down past her shoulders, her bare skin was exposed, with nothing but a cute blue bra to cover her.

"They are not very big...but I hope they are adequate for your enjoyment." Artoria mumbled, undoing her bra herself. Her actions were stiff, but she didn\'t hesitate to unclip her bra and dropped it to the side.

She said that, yet I felt myself twitch uncontrollably in excitement.

It was my first time seeing her bare chest.

"Oh sweetie, you have nothing to be ashamed of." Yasaka reassured her. "Look at him, look how hard he\'s throbbing again. He\'s staying that way because of you still, these cute things are doing that to him." She sneaked a little squeeze of Artoria\'s breast, making the Knight squeak out with an adorable noise.

She wasn\'t wrong. Her boobs, while modest in size, were very beautiful. I had to resist the urge to immediately start playing with them. Her pink, erect, nipples were so very enticing.

"We have plenty of time. I\'ll teach you every trick I know~" Yasaka grinned coyly.

By the intrigued look in Artoria\'s eyes, I was in for a very enjoyable evening.

[****]

Lew Ended. Scene changed.

[****]

With a flick of my hand, I created a portal to a very special location. I stretched my back, having just got out of bed and a very good rest.

"I have returned." I declared with a decadent flair.

".....are you going to make a fool of yourself every time you come?" Izzy looked at me.

"Yes." I smiled.

"Dork." She rolled her eyes, throwing a piece of popcorn at me.

I, of course, plopped myself down right next to her, and took a handful out of the bowl she had in her lap. "What are we watching?"

"This inane adaptation about the Monkey. Complete foolishness and a ridiculous plot. However, I can\'t stop watching it."

"Oh dear god, is this \'Drag So-Ball\'?"

"Mmm. Is something wrong?"

"Yes, this is an abomination compared to the one from my home." I scoffed. "Its real name is Dragon Ball, and it is a wonderful Anime, and I will find the creator of this abomination and throw him into the sun!"

Izzy blinked, continuing to munch on some popcorn. "So bring it next time, we can watch it."

"Huh....that sounds like fun."

"...it\'s a date."

"Hmm?"

"Nothing." She cleared her throat. "So did you need something or just come to waste your time?"

"First, it\'s never wasting my time if it\'s with you." I replied, earning a little eye roll from her, however the little smile that followed was always nice. "Second, I did want to ask you something."

"Ask away."

"It was about that whole Hades thing. I find myself with some free time, so I figured I should take care of it. I sent a message to everyone about what happened, and they all agreed that it wasn\'t something I should put off. Yasaka especially didn\'t want Hades to get annoyed and come knocking, forcing the Shinto Gods into dealing with him and intervening."

Admittedly, the free time was all but forced on me. After, relaxing a bit, with the help of Artoria and to a lesser extent, Yasaka, I went home took a nap that ended up being over a day in length.

I guess I was really more strung up than I realized.

Everything important was being handled right now, so I couldn\'t really focus my efforts on anything important.

But I felt like doing something, and the way Izzy spoke, this wasn\'t going to be too strenuous. An unofficial meeting with Izzy at my back? I wouldn\'t be too on guard. That and I have a hard time not moving and sitting still when there\'s so much on my plate.

"That is probably wise. Hades would care little if he put you in an awkward position." Izzy nodded.

"....So he\'s one of those kinds of Gods then?"

"Yes and no. I get along with Hades by virtue of being a similar Death Deity, but I won\'t deny that he can be rather hard headed and rarely cares about the opinions of others. But he isn\'t.....unfair."

"That doesn\'t sound too bad. I know modern media likes to depict him as somewhat evil. But based on most texts I\'ve read, he seemed much more approachable than his brothers."

"Those are more accurate. Hades was never one to cause too many problems. He stayed within his domain and did his job." Izzy stated. "However, that does not mean you can take him lightly. He is extremely strong. I\'m not ashamed to say that I\'m no match for him. And he also has some very powerful subordinates. Thanatos himself answers his call. And even the Night listens to his commands. That\'s not mentioning all the minor Gods he has working for him."

.....that\'s scary to think about.

"And you\'re sure he isn\'t hostile."

"I\'m positive, he has no hostile intent, especially if he went through me to convey his request." Izzy replied, sitting up straight herself. "And you\'re in luck."

"About what?"

"If you want, we can get this sorted now." She took out her phone. "I spoke to him a few hours ago about something else, and he is currently available."

I blinked, mulling it over. "Sure, may as well. Is it okay to just drop in?"

"I will send a message before we go." She started messing with her phone, presumably to do just as she said.

I mean, why not?

"And you\'re okay just putting aside everything else and going with me?"

She put the bowl to the side, standing up. "It\'s no trouble. I will be here if you require assistance at any point in time."

It\'ll be interesting to see another Realm of the Dead. At this point, I\'d been to several. "Thanks, by the way. I appreciate you just abruptly doing this." Not that I anticipated our conversation going in this direction. I thought for sure it would probably take several days to set up a meeting or something.

Most Gods I\'ve met – outside of present company – were usually sticklers for proper decorum in things like this, even if they\'re the ones wanting to meet.

"It\'s no trouble." She reassured me. "Come, I shall open a pathway outside." She beckoned me outside.

"So you mentioned something about this before, can you just force your way into another Realm like yours?" I asked as she stepped down to the ground outside.

"I believe I mentioned before, you can sort of imagine all the Realms of the Dead as being....neighbors. It\'s not too difficult to intrude on another\'s \'home\', but I\'m going to be polite and knock first." She explained.

That familiar archway appeared, the same one she used to descend into Yomi itself.

"Okay, come along. I will lead you." She stated, a portal forming between the wooden pillars. I suppose some metaphysical acknowledgement happened? Because I saw no indication that both sides \'met\' and agreed to anything.

I shrugged, following right behind her through the portal.

Funnily enough, not much changed upon stepping through.

The sky was still bleak, if slightly different in colors. The ground was dead and barren. The air itself was heavy with the scent of death. However, I heard the movement of water and turned to see where Izzy was staring.

"Charon, it\'s been awhile."

I blinked at the person standing on a small boat amidst a black river.

"Lady Izanami." He greeted, his voice sounded wheezing. The man looked....like a mummy if I were to be honest. He had no visible eyes, just sunken sockets. And his skin looked almost completely dried out. "Lord Hades has given you permission, you need not take this path."

"Oh, I know. I usually pop in near his home, but I wanted to give Wilhelm the \'tour\' so to speak. And I was dropping in abruptly, I know how Hades likes to make an impression, so I figured the time it took would let him prepare, killing two birds, one stone."

The Man turned towards me. He had no eyes, yet I could tell he was looking into mine. "An interesting boy." The Ferryman of the dead decided. "Come along, I will give you your ride. Not often I\'m not escorting the dead."

"Come, Wilhelm. I believe you will enjoy seeing this." Izzy ushered me again.

And I was a little breathless. Besides being a rather....deathly place, it was also an amazing sight.

The River Styx was something I\'d never seen before, in either lifetime.

I stepped up to the boat, expecting it to sway within the water, yet it didn\'t move an inch. It was as if it was locked into place. I even tested it a little, rocking myself back and forth slightly.

"The Boat moves how the Ferryman commands." Izzy stated, noticing my efforts.

The Ferryman looked amused though.

"Does that mean it can fly?" I raised an eyebrow.

"....I believe that\'s the first time I\'ve been asked that question." Charon let out a strange bark of laughter, the boat shuddered it and lifted off the water about a foot, floating there for a moment before settling back down.

That\'s pretty neat.

"Oh." I blinked in realization. "Aren\'t I supposed to pay the toll?" I fiddled into my ring, taking out a Septim.

The Ferryman looked at it and shrugged, taking it happily. "Those invited by Lord Hades don\'t have to pay. But I appreciate it."

Oh well, no harm done.

The boat shoved off, and almost instantly, I could no longer see the shore, either one. Before, it looked like you could almost jump across, maybe with some enhanced strength. But after actually being inside it, It appeared as an ocean.

"Interesting, isn\'t it?" Izzy smiled.

"So the River is bigger once you go \'into\' it?"

"Indeed." Izzy replied. "How else is it supposed to house all those wayward souls?"

"What would happen if I tried to fly over it at the start?"

"Lord Hades would get upset." Charon grinned. "If he was in a particularly bad mood, you may be forced down into the River."

"Huh." I looked around again. "It\'s strangely beautiful."

"Death has its own charm." Charon agreed.

".....what does it taste like?"

Charon froze, staring back at me. ".....Its taste...?"

"Ignore him, he askes strange questions." Izzy facepalmed.

"I think it\'s a valid question." I crossed my arms with a huff. "It\'s a River, yes? So.....mystical water of some variety. What does it taste like?"

"Feel free to dunk your head inside and take a big gulp." Izzy snorted.

"I would not advise drinking it." Charon chuckled. "It is a part of the Realm of the Dead, it would not do well for a living creature to ingest such concentrated deathly power. Even if you are....unique."

"Would Hades be upset if I took some?" I was rather intrigued at this point.

"I...do not believe so?" Charon looked confused again. "Once more, I\'ve never had someone ask me a question like this. Already this has been an amusing trip." He smiled good naturedly. "Go ahead, if you desire. You paid the fare when you didn\'t need to, if Lord Hades is disgruntled, I will speak with him."

Good enough for me. I took out an empty vial and dunked it below the surface of the water, careful to not let any touch my skin. I was fairly sure I could resist the effects of mere a touch, but at the same time, I\'d rather not take any chances when we were about to talk to such an important figure.

Corking it shut, I happily put it away.

"Can\'t wait to brag about this to gramps." I couldn\'t help but grin.

Another interesting thing I\'d gotten. I wonder if I could add this to the Peach Wine I plan on making? Such a powerful \'life\' concept attached to the peach might offset the deathly nature of the water.

Interesting.

"We\'re here." Charon declared, the board abruptly jerked and was pushed up against the shore.

"Thank you, it\'s a pleasure as always, Charon." Izzy expressed her gratitude.

"The pleasure is always mine, Lady Izanami. And it was an.....interesting little ride." He turned towards me. "Be cautious, young man. A word of warning, Lord Hades will not be as open to such whimsical behavior as I am."

I nodded towards him in thanks.

I knew how to act on such occasions.

With that, the Ferryman disappeared back into the river, presumably going back to where he came from.

"So, anything I should know?" I asked, getting more serious than before.

"I\'m sure I don\'t need to remind you, but don\'t act foolish infront of him. He takes his job and his position very seriously and expects others to do the same." Izzy replied. "Be warned, he despises Devils, so he may hold that aspect against you."

"Noted. Anything else?"

"Be careful with how you address his wife. She will for sure be at his side and he is very protective of her. Persephone enjoys acting flirty and getting a reaction out of men just so she can watch her husband get protective. I don\'t believe she\'ll try anything since I\'ll be at your side, but it\'s worth remembering."

"Got it." It\'s not like I would flirt with another persons wife. As I told Medea once upon a time I\'m no home wrecker.

It didn\'t take long at all for us to come upon a large....building. A castle maybe? Something to that effect.

Maybe \'Temple\' would be the right word since it\'s Greek styling.

However, once we got close to the gate, a massive shadow blotted out of the strained light source.

With a crash, a huge figure slammed down upon the ground infront of us. Three massive heads, lips pulled back in a snarl, teeth bared.

The Protector of the Gate of the Underworld stood before us.

Frankly, it was menacing. Was I scared? No. But I could recognize it for what it was.

A Divine Beast if I ever saw one.

Easily on the level of Níeh?ggr who appeared at the School. Though, that might just be while it remained in the Underworld.

"What a good boy." Izzy broke the atmosphere as she started rubbing one of the heads of the mighty Cerberus.

The Dog immediately melted in her hands as it flopped onto its belly.

"Oh yes, look at you. I heard someone had another litter of puppies." She started rubbing the belly of the massive Divine Beast.

One of the heads looked at me, it wasn\'t as.....on guard before. Hesitantly, I reached my hand out and it narrowed its eyed. I placed it on the Dog\'s head and began scratching.

It relaxed immediately, its massive tongue drooping out of its large maw.

"What a beautiful creature. And such soft fur." I couldn\'t help but push my entire body into him.

"Oh, he\'s just a big softy. Aren\'t you, huh? A big softy." Izzy giggled as the massive dog licked her. "Guardian of the Underworld my rear. Hades just wanted an excuse to have this big boy around without people saying things."

The Big Dog rolled onto its back, leg kicking out as Izzy scratched behind its ear.

How adorable.

"We\'re going to see Hades, alright?" She cooed. "Can we pass?"

The three head let out an ear shattering bark in acknowledgement.

"Come along, Wilhelm. The mighty protector has been placated; we can proceed." Izzy gave the Dog one last pat on the head.

I sort of felt bad because Cerberus whimpered once we finally left.

What an adorable dog. Basically just a big puppy.

Once we truly stepped through the gate, things changed.

"Zeus with Mount Olympus, Poseidon with Atlantis. This right here, is Hades\' seat of power. This is where he is strongest." Izzy stated as we walked further inside.

Braziers lit all around us, beckoning a path forwards.

They lit up the area, trailing until they met a large flight of steps, where a figure waited above us on a throne.

Lording over the entire Underworld, a silhouette in the shape of a Skeleton gazed down upon us, the flickering of flames revealing him in this desolate realm.

Hades.

At his side, however, was a woman, leaning against his throne. She gazed down at us with an amused look whereas Hades himself was completely indiscernible.

She was, frankly, absolutely stunning. Midnight black hair, a very curvy body, and a beautiful smile as she smirked down at us.

I could admit she was one of the most beautiful women I\'ve ever seen, my own girls not withstanding. But perhaps that was just due to her divine nature. Izzy could easily match her, but I was more....used, maybe inured, to Izzy at this point.

"Izanami." The God of the Underworld intoned, shaking the very space itself. "What kind of Abomination did you bring to my realm!?" He stated, looking right at me.
