Duality

Talyn happily suckled at Lyra's breast, while Taen watched Meena gently bandage the wound on Merla's shoulder. She frowned as she watched the wound bleed, and not stop.

"Merla, you can heal broken bones, and cuts. Why isn't your shoulder healing?" Taen asked. Merla sighed a bit, and looked at her sister. Talyn grinned around her mother's nipple, and continued to drain her breast.

"Talyn is mad at me." Merla said simply. Taen looked at her new daughter, and back to Merla. "It's hard to explain, momma." She rolled her eyes. "Momma was real upset during the first few years of Talyn's life, and mostly at me."

"Oh." Taen's face cleared. "That is true, but Lyra was to blame for a lot of it." Lyra looked at her wife with her mouth open in protest.

"Don't give me that look!" Taen said firmly. "You were unstable ever since she died, and your emotions took a long time to recover. If our goddesses hadn't sent Merla back to us, you would have gotten even worse." Talyn looked up at Taen cautiously. She didn't quite understand the words that were just spoken, but something told her that it wasn't a good thing.

Her sister died? Is that why her mother was so upset?

Lyra closed her eyes, the pain of those years still inside her, but when she opened them, she could only see the innocence of her newborn baby girl.

"There are many things you don't know, Talyn." She said softly. "You're still just a baby, and when it's time, we will tell you everything. Just don't be mad at your sister. She loves you like no one else could." Merla stood up.

"Don't worry, momma. I don't blame her. She only knows how you feel, and what she hears. I am just glad she was born strong, and healthy." Merla turned away, and didn't see Talyn try to reach out. She was still a newborn, so she stopped herself from reaching out too far in case someone saw her do it. It was an instinct in which she wanted her sister to come back, but that instinct made her feel confusion too. She was angry at her sister, but wanted her back? That made her feel unsure as well as confused.

Merla walked out of the room, with Meena not far behind her. Only Meena saw Merla touch her neck, pull at something, and crush it between her palms.

She didn't destroy Talyn's manna. Instead, she flattened and cooled the emotional intent left behind. Once it was cool, she dropped it onto the living wood floor of the house, and let the tree absorb it for energy.

If left intact, it might burn the wood, or poison it. For Merla, it was a child's attempt to let out her frustrations, and nothing to worry about.

Even so, it still made her a bit sad to think that her sister didn't love her as much as she loved Talyn.

Meena quietly cradled Merla in her arms, and did not break the silence. She knew this girl's moods, one of which was a melancholy that she couldn't yet figure out. It was if the girl had two different spirits, or souls, within her that competed for time at the surface of her consciousness.

Meena's quiet speculations were spot on, even if she didn't know the reason why. Just as this melancholy woke up, it went to sleep, and the girl's more bold nature took hold again.

"I can't believe I have to wait twelve more cycles to take you as my mate." Merla said with a soft growl. Meena chuckled softly.

"And I have to wait to be taken. For now, we are sisters, and you are too young to enjoy those things." Meena sucked in her breath as Merla touched her smooth belly, and lightly caressed her skin.

"Sisters. There are many things that sisters can do while they grow up." Merla said in a small voice. "Maybe not yet as that would taint our future, and stain your manna. But in the future? Yeah. Lots of things we can do together." Meena blushed a little as that small hand caressed her belly, staying just a bit below her belly button, but above the slight dip below her hips.

"My mate will carry our babies in the future." Meena blushed even brighter. "Your belly will be bigger than momma's too. You will be so beautiful, Meena." Her voice began to vibrate with manna as her emotions became excited. Meena felt the warmth of her affections through her manna that flowed from her hand and into her middle.

"I have put you in a spot that will make you hated for the next ten cycles, but envied for thousands of cycles in the generations ahead." Meena felt that warmth invade her senses, which sent her reeling from the impact of Merla's affection, and pure warm manna.

Unlike other orcs, Merla's manna had a color that would change with her mood. Meena felt her manna, felt the warmth and affection from Merla, and noted that it felt like her manna was blue. However, as her fingers caressed her skin, that manna turned slightly red, and the color of their lusts.

Meena's consciousness was pulled inside Merla's mental space, while Fayeth and Faylen entered in behind her. Merla smiled a bit as she watched her mates take Meena into their embrace.

Back on Earth, when Merla matured as a human, the two goddesses visited her dreams every night. The first night was a night of fear, and uncertainty. The second was a night of cautious probing of intentions.

Merla took only three nights to indulge her own lusts, and boldly pounced on the ample chested goddesses without knowing they were alive, and real. For five years, the goddesses visited, and strengthened her spirit until she was strong enough to come back.

What had appeared to be a random choice, was their only choice. Merla did not belong to Earth. She belonged to Duality, the twin goddesses of light and dark, each with conflicting and contrary personalities that defied their spiritual alignment.

As such, Merla developed that same duality, with a prim and proper personality on the surface, but buried her bold and ravenous lust that only wished to devour.

Meena's consciousness felt a flicker of fear as she was embraced by her goddesses. Not because of their presence. That fear was felt when Merla's warm affection turned into ravenous lust as her dormant personality woke up for a brief minute or so.

'Do not be fearful, little orc.' Fayeth said softly.

'My sister is right, little orc. Do not fear her. This side of her will only wake up occasionally, and the only ones to see it have been the two of us.' Faylen said with a moan as she entered Meena firmly. 'This means that her chosen mate can also awaken her. Among those down below, only you can do this to her.'

As the intensity of Merla's lust went back to sleep, Meena murmured and moaned, and enjoyed the attention of the twin goddesses that no other mortal could endure. She began to feel a sense of satisfaction, her own love for Merla growing stronger.

It was a strong boost to her ego to know that she was the only orc who could make Merla's dormant side wake up.

"What's wrong?" Taen asked Lyra as she held Talyn to her breast, but realized that the girl did not want to be fed.

"She's fussy. She won't sleep, and won't settle down." Lyra said quietly. "Our kind are not like humans. We don't have this kind of trouble." She looked up at her wife with a question in her eyes. Taen sighed.

"I'll go call my sister. Lixiss should be able to figure out why she's so upset."
