I was the first to awake just before sunrise came. I found myself in a completely different position than the one I had fallen asleep in. I was now sprawled on top of Elaina, my head resting cuddled against her chest. Glancing upwards past Elaina's chin, I could see that she was still sleeping, her face much cuter compared to when she was awake.
While it was quite comfortable in the sleeping bag, and, I will admit, pleasant and relaxing to sleep snuggled up to Elaina, my body was quite hot from sleeping in the bag. I decided it would be best to climb out, to cool off and get dressed before Elaina awoke.
As I squirmed over Elaina's body, a sudden grasp of my waist made me squeak in surprise. Glancing up, my gaze met with a pair of bright green eyes and a little smirk.
"Where do you think you're going?" Elaina asked, her breath brushing against m sensitive ear.
"It's almost sunrise, we have—"
She interrupted me with a kiss, as she pulled my face into hers.
I pushed my hands into her chest, trying to resist but only ending up groping her boobs. "Elaina…someone might hear."
"But I can't resist you, Kitty." Her voice was like honey.
One hand moved to my breast, slipping beneath my bra as it played with the fleshy mound. She kissed me again and I surrendered to Elaina's advances. I had to admit I was turned on as well. And I just couldn't resist my horny girlfriend.
Her teasing hands began roaming over my slim body as her warm body pressed against mine in the sleeping bag. When a hand slid in between my thighs, I parted them without hesitation giving her free access to my nether region. My panties were already damp from the foreplay.
"Mnnnh!"
I moaned into her lips when she began rubbing my pussy through the thin silk, her other hand now snaking down my back to give my butt a squeeze.
When she pulled my panties aside to touch me directly, I couldn't help but let out a gasp. She smiled at my expression as her fingers found my clit, as I tried to hold back a second moan.
I closed my eyes as I felt the first finger enter me, still trying my best not to let out a sound. It would be far too embarrassing if we were overheard.
But when a second joined the first, I couldn't help but gasp.
Soon, my hips were moving up and down against her slender hand as I fucked myself with her fingers. Her [Dexterous Fingers] skill was not for nothing.
"Good Kitty. Ride my hand." She gave my butt a slap.
My face flushed red from embarrassment and excitement, as I began to bounce my butt up and down in the sleeping bag, eager to get her fingers as deep inside me as possible.
Soon my skin had a soft sheen of sweat, my mouth covered by Elaina's other hand to prevent my moans, as I brought myself to a climax.
"Cum for me, baby," she whispered into my ear.
I lay down over her, whimpering into Elaina's one hand, the fingers on her other hand buried deep in my tight pussy. After just a few seconds, I reach my climax. My whole body stiffens and my back arches, as my vagina convulsed around her now thrusting fingers. Her hand blocks most of my loud moaning as I cum on top of her. My body trembled from the orgasm for another half minute as the naughty elf continued to pleasure me with her fingers.
I closed my eyes and rested my head against her chest, as the pleasure fled and exhaustion took its place. Though I was not as tired as I usually was. My endurance had been increasing a little at least.
As I tried to relax, I am held tight in the elf's embrace until I manage to catch my breath. When I managed a weak smile, she pulled my head in close and gave me a doting kiss on the tip of my nose.
Suddenly, Elaina pulled her recently fucked hand, now drenched in my juices, out of my panties and up to her face and gave it a lick.
"Mmm, delicious." She smirked at my exhausted state. "Would you like a taste?"
She didn't give me time to respond as she stuffed the two fingers into my mouth. I blushed a little when I realized I automatically started sucking them.
"Alright, now it's my turn."
I bit her fingers.

I flipped through another page of the book I was re-reading as I sat on the wagon. The tier 2 spell I was trying to learn was named Light Arrow. It was aptly named, as the spell simply involved conjuring and projecting an arrow made of light. While it was slightly less powerful than a real arrow, it could be used quickly and easily.
The problem I was having was that while I could create the arrow rather easily, projecting it was much more difficult. The handbook itself offered no tips to my frustration no matter how many times I looked the spell description and instructions over. But I was slowly getting there with plenty of time to spend on the spell. I had nothing else to do after all.
I had already added two more tier 1 spells to my repertoire. The first was another [Light Magic] spell, Flash. It was similar to Elaina's use of [Light Magic] back in prison, involving the creation of a quick burst of light. The second spell I learnt was classified as [Plant Magic] and named Grow. It let me grow any plants instantly by injecting mana into them, although it was quite inefficient especially with my low-level [Plant Magic].
Unfortunately, it had been five days since the beginning of this trip and I had still not mastered any tier 2 spell. It wasn't like my talent was bad. In fact, my learning speed was above average, at least according to some of the books we had bought. Usually it would take a month or two for a beginner mage to learn a tier 2 spell, and that was with an instructor. And yet I still felt inadequate.
I glanced over at the source of my lack of confidence. Elaina sat with her hands supporting her chin as she continued to sulk. Elaina had easily mastered Light Arrow in half the time I had spent on it. She was supposed to be working on another spell, but instead she spent her time trying to seduce me into bed.
After the first morning of the trip, Elaina had continued with her advances, teasing me every night as we slept together. While she had brought me to orgasm a few times, I had refused to do the same.
While Elaina had tried masturbating, she had said it was not the same. A few times I actually felt sorry for her as she begged me to return the favor. But I wouldn't bend so easily. Punishing her gave me a little satisfaction.
Besides Elaina's frequent advances, the trip had been rather uneventful. We had been attacked by a band of goblins on the third day, but they had been quickly wiped out by the Crescent Moon Warriors. Well, quickly was sort of an understatement. The pack of fifty had been reduced to zero in less than a minute, and only five members of the mercenary team had moved to deal with the monsters. It was almost unfair how strong they were.
"Oh, it seems we have arrived." Marquis Williams suddenly stated at the front of the wagon.
"Arrived where?" Elaina asked.
The marquis spread his arms wide at the front of the of the wagon. "Welcome to the southern continent girls!"
It wasn't long before we left the mountain range behind us, heading south into the rocky wasteland. There was not a single landmark in sight outside of the large mountains behind us. The place seemed completely devoid of life.
"This barren stretch of land is the first reason the Revilon Empire tends to ignore the passes to the northern continent. Not only is it difficult to set up outposts in such a remote location, the wasteland is also teeming with powerful monsters. Most of the people who live up here are considered uncivilized at best in the other parts of the Revilon Empire," Marquis Williams explained. "The second reason is that Duke Lupis, the regional lord in the north, profits off trade from the north."
"So how long until we can leave this desert?" Elaina asked.
"Oh, we should reach the town of Ashur, a remote outpost, by the end of the day, which is located at the very border of the northern wasteland. That will be the end of our trip together."
That was a little disappointing. While I didn't particularly like the marquis, he had been more than helpful during the length of our trip. Not only had he let us ride in his wagon, he had also answered any questions Elaina had asked him. And he hadn't asked us any personal questions as well.
Although that might have just been because he wanted company during the week long trip and was scared we might stop talking with him.
What was worse was losing the protection of the Crescent Moon Warriors. Elaina and I right now were far too weak to travel anywhere without protection, even if we were now in the much safer southern continent.
While we had been ranking up quickly through our 'night' sessions, we were still only at the level of an ordinary teenager because we started at the very bottom. The fact was that we could not protect ourselves.
Our funds were also running low. Not dangerously low, but we had used up almost half of our total coin back in Red Peak. Sure, that was still a lot of money left but it was also all that we had. It's not like either Elaina or I had the skills necessary at the moment to make more money.
Elaina might be able to do something if she ranked up a little more with her magic, but I certainly didn't have much to go on at the moment. Unless I wanted to work as a prostitute.
We also had plenty of things to buy as well. The first was more hair dye. Preferably a permanent option. Elaina only bought a quick temporary hair dye in Red Peak because she liked my pink hair, but now that we knew that pink hair was a sign of royalty…well I didn't think the empress would forgive me for stealing the body of her darling son.
"So, where are you two ladies headed once we reach Ashur?"
"We haven't decided yet. We'll probably just stay in town for a while."
"Well, I wouldn't recommend staying there too long. A lot of unsavoury folk live up here in the north. And that's coming from me." He laughed a little. "If you don't know where you're going though, I would recommend the capital."
"The capital? Why would you recommend going there?""
"Because it's the largest city on the continent, twice as big as any other city in terms of population. Everything you could ever want or need is there. But the main reason I'm recommending the capital is because I can see that you're trying to learn magic. No better place for that than the Royal Academy. And since you were able to hire the Crescent Moon Warriors for this trip, you could probably afford it. The next term should be starting soon and many people are heading to the capital," the marquis explained.
"They teach magic at this academy?" I asked, jumping into the conversation for the first time.
"Of course. The highest ranked mages in Revilon teach there. But magic is hardly all they teach. The academy is mostly for nobles or rich merchants since the tuition rates are sky-high, although they do have plenty of scholarships for talented individuals. It is not just people from Revilon that go to the academy either. Folks from all over the south enrol there. While it costs a lot of money, the price is more than worth it as other schools just can't compete. It is one of the reasons the capital is so large."
"Is that the only place I can learn magic?" I wouldn't mind joining the Royal Academy but we hardly have the money for it.
The marquis laughed. "Hardly. There are other schools that teach magic but they are usually more specialized into specific magic types. Joining the army is also an option. They would teach you the basics but you'd be required to serve a certain number of years. Finally, you could also get an apprenticeship to a mage if you're skilled enough."
I thanked him for his advice. He had offered a lot of options. Still, for now I could continue learning magic by myself. There was no rush.

Time passed and we eventually arrived at the town of Ashur.
The town was even smaller than Red Peak from what I could see, and its short walls little more than a person's height tall were more like a tall fence, offering barely any protection. While the walls were nothing special, the knights in flashy red and gold armour standing outside were a sight to behold.
"Well, that's a little troublesome," Marquis William muttered up front.
"What? Is something wrong?" Elaina asked.
"A small town like this shouldn't have any knights. And those knights sure aren't from the surrounding region if they're dressed like that as only one knight order wears red. The royal knights." For the first time, the marquis almost seemed worried.
"What are they doing here?"
"Your guess is as good as mine. The royal knights almost never leave the capital. Only the royal family can order them around."
The red knights surrounded us just outside the gate. There were eight of them, all dressed in bright red and gold armour. None of them had helmets on and I noticed that most of them were fox beastkin with a scattered few that were other races.
The knight captain stared at the leader of the Crescent Moon Warriors with one hand gripped on his sword. "My apologies but we'll need to inspect each traveller coming in to the city."
The Crescent Moon leader scoffed. "I don't believe you have the authority to search just anyone. These are the lands of Duke Lupis. And you have no proof that we've committed any crime."
The knight captain pulled out a scroll and handed it over. After a few seconds of reading, the Crescent Moon leader's face twisted into a grimace.
"The knight commander is up north?"
"He is. Here to find someone important. We were instructed to find her and bring her back to the capital."
"Fine. You can take a look. It's not like we have anything illegal on board."
A few of the knights surrounded our wagon, forcing us to get off.
"Just do what they say. They're only looking for a certain person and won't bother us." The marquis whispered to us as he stepped down.
"Lift your hood please, miss." The knight, a male fox beastkin asked me as he stared down at me. My head didn't even reach his shoulders.
I did as he asked. It was a little too late to run away now.
The knight's eyes widened a little as I revealed my ears, before narrowing as she studied my hair.
"Captain Leonard, I have one here," he shouted at the knight captain.
"Alright, bring her to the commander. The rest of you are free to go in."
The fox knight returned her gaze to me. "Miss, I'd like you to come with me."
I stepped back a little. "Am I under arrest?"
"No, of course not. I just need you to meet someone for a minute. Don't worry, it's probably nothing. It's just that the person we're looking for is a cat beastkin."
Probably nothing? This can't be good but it's too late now to use the invisibility ring. Well, it wasn't like I had committed any crimes yet.
"Alright, but can I bring my companion?" I glanced over at Elaina who was looking at me worryingly.
The knight waved his hand. "That's fine."
And so, Elaina and I followed the knight as she escorted us into the city.
