Bab 723: Work In Progress (4)

As Annie turned back to marking the piece of wood we were about to carve, I couldn't help but mull over her story as questions began to pop into my mind, questions that I just needed to ask these more knowledgable, lustful futanari.

"So... this was a more 'jovial' tale of hers, which makes me wonder what else had to happen for her to have tales that weren't about celebration and merrymaking? And then you said us mortals actually discovered wine on our own through accidental ingenuity, so..."

Annie chuckled at that, though it was Cici who answered me, the Bullkin grinning as she said "For the second question, the difference between what we stumbled upon and what she showed us is as vast as the difference between a lake and the ocean. Sure, a lake is pretty big, it can go pretty deep, but the ocean just makes the lake look like a puddle in comparison.

What we made wasn't even 'wine'. It was just flavored water with a tiny kick to it that made people feel a little bit better when they drank it. What Temenatra gave us was the wine of today; strong, flavorful, warm and absolutely akin to sex on the tongue compared to that bland watery shit."

The Nymph laughed at that before adding "And the difference was also that she guided us to it on more than one occasion. Those 'accidents' tended to come after people prayed or when they met an unnamed Goddess who wanted to speak with them. All of that is unconfirmed though, and I would like to believe that we were able to stumble upon it ourselves..."

I nodded at that, understanding the hope that we mortals were capable of doing things like inventing wine of our own accord, but at the same time... there was a Goddess for everything, so to assume that we weren't aided by one would be hubris, at least to me.

"As for the less upbeat tales... well, what happens when you consume too much wine? Let alone good quality wine for the first time ever? You get drunk, and when you get drunk... things can happen. Temenatra is the Goddess of Wine, after all, so she knew what would happen, and to her all that matters is that there is wine to go around and people are drinking it...

Though that's how we got the Goddess of Drunkenness, Inebria; apparently Temenatra visited some Orcs who were celebrating a conquest over another tribe, gave them wine, drank with them and then was overpowered by them and raped over and over again. She gave birth dozens of times that month, to mortals and to Goddesses.

Another time she seduced a tribe of peace loving Nymphs into becoming her own followers who spread the wonders of wine around the world, and by doing so she turned them all into sex craving sluts that would go around fucking whoever they could while drinking the wine they received. Temenatra also raped many of those Nymphs in her own drunken stupor, sprouting a new race of Nymphs who have some... special qualities."

Cici's smile was laid back despite what she was telling me, and Annie just chuckled again and added "Those Nymphs were able to grow and harvest only grapes, but the grapes they grew were far sweeter, juicier, and larger than normal, and they also... were far more demented than the rest of us.

Some Nymphs are part of nature, others live with it... and by that I mean some Nymphs have wooden 'skin' or vines for hair, flowers sprouting from their hair, or other defects like roots for legs or talons made from poisonous bark.

The ones she sired were all demented as hell, addicted to getting drunk and incapable of holding back their desires. They were rapists and killers who would do so with a smile on their face and laughter in their hearts. They're still around today too... thankfully they're much more tame than before, though they tend to fuck anything that moves and has a hole."

Annie clicked her tongue at that before clapping her hands and saying "Enough of that though! Temenatra is a wonderful bundle of good and bad all in one, and you can't really blame her since she's neutral to the core. Wine isn't evil, drunkenness isn't evil; people, individuals are evil, and they make the decisions, even if they're inebriated!"

I nodded again, though I couldn't help but wonder if there was a way to control the sort of inebriation that wine could bring... though again, I suppose that fell onto the individual, didn't it..?

"So, what we want to do here Camara, is start from the bottom. We want to make the base of this statue first, figure out what sort of area we're working with, before we move on towards the top section, which is going to be a LOT~ of carving away until we get the shape we want.

Now, for the base, I think it'd be better to make it look like a chunk of the earth has been lifted out of the ground, right? So... from here we do a mixture of stone and gravel..."

Annie crouched down and resumed marking the wood, and my eyes landed on her ass for a moment before I crouched down beside her, joining her in this thought exercise as I said "And from here up we do a mixture of gravel and dirt, right? Slightly smoother and less detailed... perfect for an engraving, right?"

"Ooh, I like how you think Camara! Yeah, we could do the store name here, or maybe we could go hyper focused detail and do a passage out of a book about Temenatra... that could be cool and eye catching..."

"Yeah, I could do the detailing and you can work on the statue itself. You were always better with bodies than I was, Annie. Leave the base and wine bottle to me, and the lake too..."

That made the Nymph nod, and for a moment it seemed like we were about to start working, only for her to say "Hey, come give me a blowjob while she gets everything started; I'll suck you off too~! I just need~ to fuck that pretty mouth of yours sooner rather than later..."

I was a tad disappointed that she was so lustful, but at the same time, as soon as she stood up and grabbed me I didn't resist, following behind her and even being a little confident in myself as I moved beside her and took ahold of her ass, deciding that this... was going to be worth it.

If I wasn't going to be allowed to 'learn' right away, I was going to have some really good fun with this futanari, that's for damn sure... but damnit I wanted to learn too!
