Cedric walked silently down the Library corridors. It was empty at night, and he looked around, the books in his bag tending to fall out. In the other hand, he held his cane. It was strictly forbidden to take books from the Library, but who needed rules when the fate of the whole world was at stake.

He walked out into the main hallway; the Exarchy's seat was empty for some reason. The path was open, but Cedric moved the other way. He walked around the Exarchy table and approached a big notch in the wall. There used to be a door.

A torch illuminated the downward slope, the steps leading far underground.

"I'm sure the creature came from here." There were noticeable dents and claw marks on the walls.

"Are you lost?" A voice from behind made him stir. It was the new Exarchy Cindy.

"Me? No, no, I just..."

"Just trying to find out Library secrets?" Cindy said calmly.

Cedric moved to leave the castle. "Good night."

"That girl that was with you that night was my sister, Prince Cedric." Exarchy took a place at her desk.

He did not answer, only hurried towards the exit.

Seraphina brushed her hair, staring mesmerized in the candlelight. Elowen's tent was more cramped than Cedric's, but she felt safe here.

"What am I even thinking? Safe from who? From my own son?" She covered face with her hands, holding back tears. "Why did I do this? How could I? I pleasured my own son."

She hadn't forgotten Cedric's words. When he was about to release his seed he said. "I'll do it for my Mum."

She pulled her dress down, running a finger over a tiny wound close to the nipple, the mark of his lustful touch. The wound hadn't quite healed yet.

Seraphina smiled, remembering how small he'd been after birth, and how he'd touched her breast to get to the milk. She was so happy.

And now he's a grown man with desires and needs.

"Mum?" Cedric stepped cautiously inside.

Seraphina covered her boobs and wiped her damp eyes. "Yes, sweetheart? Did you want something?"

"Can I come inside? I didn't see you in the library today."

"Sorry, I just needed some time alone," she said, brushing her hair.

"Are you planning to sleep with Elowen again tonight?" He sat down beside her on the bed. "Do you want to talk about what happened between us?"

"I don't... No, actually. I guess we should talk. "She set the comb aside and turned in her chair to face him.

"Let me guess," he sighed. "You changed your mind about getting married?"

Seraphina took his hand. "I just can't understand why this is necessary. How does our marriage stop the Eclipse? Did you think about it? I know you want to be a hero, dear, and play the husband role. I'm so proud of you for that. But, you know, I'm your Mother. I'm not supposed to be your wife. And your father..."

"You love Dad too much," Cedric interrupted her.

"No, I mean... But, well, yes. I won't follow the prophecy unless I really have to. I mean, you wouldn't want to marry your Mum and be my husband either, right? Why am I even trying to persuade you here, huh?"

"Yeah, yeah, right. You're my Mum. It's awful to be married to own mother." He stood up and his hand slipped from her hold. "When are you going back to my tent though?"

"I'm okay here for now. Elowen needs me now. She's lonely and... Are you sure you're not mad at me for my refusal, dear?"

He hid his hands behind the back, clenching his fist. "Of course not, Mum. I love you more than anything and I respect your decision. Good night." He hurried out of the tent.

"I love you... too." She said but he was already out. "Well, that was kind of awkward. Did I say something wrong?"

Cedric punched a grass. She was still too loyal to Dad and too in love with him. This is another problem that stands in a way of their potential relationship.

"I can't just erase 20 and more years of their marriage life together. Maybe it's just time to accept that it's over. She's his wife, not mine. She's my Mum."

He was about to enter his tent when he noticed Elowen sitting nearby. His sister with a cute giggle was silently playing with a caterpillar on her fingers. Elowen playing with a caterpillar?

That was weird.

But despite her seeming cheerfulness, her eyes were watery and there was a fresh cut under her left eyelid.

"Maybe I should go over and ask her what's wrong? Yeah, right. She'd call me a mama's boy again and just run away. Like she always does. I don't care."

Cedric sat with his back to the tent's entrance, leafing through stolen books by candlelight. He spread some books in front of him so that if someone entered the tent, they could only see the prince's back.

The other half of the stack he hid under the bed.

He flipped through 'Spirits and Kings.' Seraphina cried when she discovered that one of the pages had been torn out. Now, he wanted to cry too.

She chose his father over him and meanwhile, he had no idea what the spirits wanted.

Cedric started reading about one of his ancestors, Anthragon, 8th descendant, a great lover of women. Cedric's heart hammered harder.

"I would trade all the girls in the world just for my mother."

His heart beat frantically now as he recalled her gentle touch in the forest, and Mum's big lush bosom. Damn, she's so good. It still felt unreal.

Until a couple of months ago, he hadn't even thought about the fact that his mother was also a woman, and a very stunning one. He was disgusted when he looked at her ass the day before they escaped the castle.

And now Seraphina occupied all his thoughts.

He angrily slammed another book shut, tossing it aside.

"None of this matters if the world ends. What did the spirit mean when it said about deals with mother and sister? There is no prophecy about my sister. There is nothing! I am not smart enough for your riddles! Why didn't it just say where to look for answers on how to stop the Eclipse!"

Flipping through another large tome he suddenly stopped on a page. It was a page with the Eclipsian Dynasty family tree.

The tree started straight from the great Alaric, founder of Empire, and ended with Cedric and his sister. The ink on his name still seemed fresh, not dried out.

His attention was drawn back to the dark stains on some of the names. They were perhaps even fresher than the ink with his and Elowen's name. Ink made it impossible to make out one of his ancestors.

The 18 descendants were separated by dark lines--four black lines that divided them into groups of six each.

First line. 1 descendant.

Second line. 6 descendant.

Third line. 12 descendant.

Fourth line. 18 descendant.

He closed the book in anger. "I'm tired." Thoughts about his mother stirred his male gut, so he drifted off to sleep.

Soldiers were training, campfires flickered, and sentries were roaming the valley. Another new day was beginning at Lord Blunder's camp. Another day waiting for the unknown.

Cedric met this morning outside his big tent, leaning on a cane. He looked tired, with dark bags under his eyes. As he observed, Seraphina walked towards the forest. "She didn't even say good morning. Now, she often goes to the forest instead of the library. I guess she's too afraid of me."

He couldn't take his eyes off two beautiful and firm curves of her ass. The halves moved in rhythm with her fast and confident strides. Fatigue prevented him from realizing that someone might notice his gaze.

"I should just let it go. She'll never let me..." But before he could finish the thought, Eligh slapped his shoulder with a stick.

"Keep your eyes up, soldier. Did you left your sword in the tent again?"

Cedric was catching his breath after training. His sore shoulder throbbed. A white raven circled above.

"I don't understand what you want from me."

"Me?" Eligh loomed over him. "I want you to stop thinking too much. Your problem is that you think when you're in a fight. Just let it flow and let your body fight. See you tomorrow, kiddo."

"Whatever." Cedric sighed and unintentionally eavesdropped on a conversation. Elowen stood outside Blunder's tent, but Riley blocked her.

"I want to see the Lord. He should know that I can be useful. Let me inside! Don't I have any rights in this awful camp?" she protested.

"Blunder has asked not to be disturbed, Princess. He can only see the prince, queen, and the generals."

"Oh, yes, I've noticed how often our mother visits his tent. They must be close, don't you think? Or maybe you're a little jealous of me and Lord?"

"Jealous?

"Your cold stare might impress other girls, but it doesn't impress me. I'm sorry, dear, but you're not my type." Elowen took a step forward, and suddenly Riley grabbed her hood and threw Elowen into the dirt.

Elowen fell painfully, staining her face and clothes. Her hair covered her face as she tried to hide her tears.

"No one wants you in this camp, princess," Riley said, placing his hands behind his back.

"Hey!!!" Cedric stood up and moved to the scene, raising his fist directly toward Riley's face. Strange, he'd never done that before. The sudden anger forced him to act. His fist clenched in pain, and Riley jerked back a little, blood spurting from his lip. He didn't speak but unsheathed his sword, aiming it at Cedric.

The prince did the same, raising his moon sword.

"Touch my sister again - I'll kill you."

Riley, with a bloody lip and an angry look, did something Cedric didn't expect. He actually attacked, swinging his sword. The prince parried the first blow, stepping back. Riley continued the onslaught of sharp attacks, he moved skillfully.

Cedric wasn't a match. He fought back, trying to save his life. Cedric counterattacked, shoving Riley in the chest. He barely steadied himself and flung his dagger straight at Cedric. The prince recoiled, but part of the blade grazed his cheek, leaving a tiny cut. Blood rushed, and he wiped the cheek, preparing for another attack.

"Enough!" Eligh appeared just in time, knocking the sword out of Riley's hands and grabbing him by his suit. "You could have killed him!"

"So what? You can't tell me what to do, old man." Riley shoved Eligh aside.

"Perhaps I should tell Lord Blunder that you're not loyal to our mission. You're not loyal to the prince."

"You have no idea how loyal I am..." Riley went inside the tent.

Cedric returned his sword to its scabbard and walked over to his sister. She was still lying in the dirt unable to gather strength to get up.

"It's okay, Elowen." He reached out to help his sister. Cedric wrapped his arm around her cute slender waist and gently lifted her, wiping away the tears that streaked her beautiful face. Using a handkerchief, he wiped her cheeks.

"Cedric," she whispered. His sister looked so vulnerable at that moment. He brushed the dirty curls away from her cute face. He wanted so badly to comfort her, to make her feel better, and to keep her safe. "I'm here for you. Let's go, I'll walk you to your tent. Everything will be okay."

"Don't... I... Just leave me alone," she pushed at his chest. "Don't fucking touch me! I hate you, Cedric. I'm a nobody here and it's all because of you! I just want to die."

She sobbed, covered in mud, and hurried back to her tent.

Cedric wiped the blood from his cheek as Eligh approached.

"Go, find your mother. Blunder is calling an emergency council again to discuss something important. Get some fresh air," the old man said, patting him on the back.

"Who does he think he is?" Cedric waved his cane in the air. "No one dares to treat my sister like that. Even if she calls me an idiot, even if she calls me a mama's boy and... and... other insults!"

He pictured her scared face again and heard her softly say his name.

"I love Elowen anyway."

Suddenly, he heard splashing and moved closer, hiding behind a random tree.

Seraphina dipped into the river. Water always helped her calm down and regain herself. Her dress, necklace and underwear were left lying in the grass. She wiped her breasts with water, squeezing nipples.

"Mmmm... Arik. It's been so long." She ran her hand between her legs but then pulled it out in disappointment. "I haven't felt you inside in months, because of your damned Eclipse, Arik, I think I'm starting to molest our own son. And also talking to myself. What's wrong with me?"

She shook her wet hair, rubbing her eyes. Her hands glided over her wet, incredible mother's body.

Cedric swallowed, watching her. "She's so stunning. I would also steal her from this godforsaken place if I was Dad."

He made a clumsy mistake, and his cane accidentally stepped on a twig.

Seraphina covered her boobs and looked straight in his direction.

"CEDRIC!?"

"I'm sorry, Mum. I'm so sorry!" He turned away, blushing. "You were gone for a long time, and I... I got worried. Blunder is gathering everyone in his tent again. I'd better go back to the camp."

"Wait," Seraphina rolled her eyes. "Since you're already here, hand me my clothes and help me get up."

He awkwardly approached. The water was just below ground level. Without looking at her, he extended his hand. She took it, and he helped her up.

But Cedric didn't release her from his arms; his hands rested on Mum's waist as she stood up. His fingers held onto her soft, tender skin. He lowered his gaze -- her boobs were right in front of him. Hard drenched pink nipples were just a few inches down.

"Cedric, let me go," she looked at him wearily.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. Just another second. Wow. Mum, you are so beatif..." He didn't want to let her go, but he had to when she grabbed his hand and tightly squeezed his index finger, almost breaking it.

"Ughhhh, Mum!!!"

"Do you remember I mentioned that I can do a thing or two as well? The priestesses taught us a bit of fighting, and your father also taught me to stand up for myself. Now, move." She lightly pushed his chest, and he had to step back, wincing as he rubbed his finger.

She lifted her clothes and put on underwear, necklace, then draped a dress over wet body.

"It's okay, I forgive you. I'm not mad at you for taking glances, hiding behind a tree without my consent... Men. Your dad liked to peek, too. You probably inherited it from him."

"Oh gosh, is she talking about Dad again?" He picked up his walking cane from the ground. Finger's still sore.

She continued, "That's how we met actually. I used to go to the river, and one day he was peeking at me. Can you imagine? At first, I was mad, but he was so charming. I couldn't resist; men were rare here. That same evening, after we met, we spent night together, and that's when we realized that I can't stay here. We wanted to be together forever, until one of us dies." She touched her belly. "Sorry, you probably don't want to hear that. I miss your Dad so much."

Сedric rolled his eyes, his cheeks were still flashed.

"But still. Don't you ever spy on me again! Never!"

She sounded so much like Elowen now.

"Your father was lucky with me, but another girl is unlikely to appreciate it. Let's go."

His gaze constantly wanted to fall on Mum's stunning legs. It was so hard to look in a different direction. Cedric sat alongside his mother on council meeting at Blunder's tent.

"New Exarchy doesn't seem too happy about us being here," said Blunder.

"Why should she be? We are jeopardizing her people and the virginity of her sisters," said Seraphina.

"We are here protecting her valley! She should be happy we are here keep her ass safe," said tough General Rosco.

"Yes, protecting the valley from the danger we brought here," Seraphina now looked angry and Cedric placed his hand on her leg. Her skin felt incredibly soft. She gave him a slightly disapproving look from the corner of her eye but didn't say anything. She just gently took his hand off her leg.

"Let's talk about why I called you here today. The King."

"The King?" Seraphina almost jumped from her chair.

"King Arik sent an army here. Colonel Tilidus leading them."

"Tilidus? But Tilidus is at war with Solarion. The king is sending him only when he wants someone dead!" Rosco stood up from his chair.

"That is why I have gathered you here."

"Is the king going to war against us? But, my lord, didn't you say he wouldn't? I don't want to fight Tilidus' troops," one of the young captains asked.

"Me neither."

"Arik would never send his men against you for war, Lord Blunder," interjected Seraphina. "I know my husband. You and your domain are part of his Eclipsian Empire. He would never... Cedric, tell them."

"Maybe we wouldn't have to run away from home if he was the way you think he is, Mum," said Cedric.

Blunder stared pensively into the void. "I didn't know it could come to this. I've considered Arik my friend for so many years, and now he's sending Tilidus."

"Lord Blunder, I understand my husband better than anyone here. I believe his army is headed for negotiations or...or... something else. He would never..."

"For negotiations? Just listen to yourself, Queen. Maybe your son is right. Maybe you were mistaken in him, just like I was. The desire to control the power of the Eclipse has blinded our King. I would like to believe your words, but there's too much responsibility lying on my shoulders. We'll wait until you and Cedric finish your search. You lead this council, Prince."

"Me? Am I now the head of the council, among other things?" Cedric looked at all captains and generals gathered here. Bald Conrad still hadn't returned and was absent today.

He locked eyes with Seraphina. She looked so stunning.

"I guess you expect me to act older than I am, but I'm still not a hero or the chosen one you think I am. You're expecting miracles from me, but I know nothing. I don't have time for a council, I'm busy with my search."

"I don't think anyone else can step in for you, Prince."

"Well, actually there's someone who can."

He smiled as he sat in front of his books, remembering their faces -- how they freaked out when he appointed Elowen as the new head of the council. He really didn't have time for councils, with the Cosmic Eclipse approaching.

He looked at his family tree again. Four lines. Near each line was a black round. What does it mean?

"That's the Eclipses. That's what it means. It's happened four times. And now it's gonna happen on my watch. The fourth black line is the upcoming Cosmic Eclipse. But if the last Eclipse happened under the 12th descendant, over a hundred years ago, why don't we have any records of that day?"

He turned the sheet. Weird, but he didn't do that before. There was an inscription in gold letters.

"18th and 19th. When the night meets the dawn - one will stand, one will fall"

"Right. Another riddle," he said.

Someone suddenly entered the tent. Cedric jerked, hiding the books under the bed. "Who's there?"

"Are you jerking off?" asked Elowen. "Disgusting."

"No, no. I didn't. Look!" He stood up, showing her his hands. "My pants are on."

"Whatever. I don't care. I just hope you weren't thinking about our Mum!"

"I told you. I wasn't jerking off!"

She gave him a slight smile; her cut was almost gone, but she still hid it behind her hair. Elowen nervously played with her fingers.

"Don't you want to tell me where you got that cut from?" He tried to brush dark locks of hair away, but she pushed his hand away.

"Do not dare touch me!!!"

"Alright, alright. Sorry."

"I fell, okay?" She sighed. "Fine, I didn't fall. I came back to the library a few days ago. You know, to help you and Mum with your search, but they told me my visits were over. I had exceeded my limit or some bullshit like that. And, well, you know me. I got angry and then I... got hit. One of them just hit me in the face. That's it. That's the story. But don't you dare to tell anyone! It's our secret. My public version is that I wounded while fighting the evil Cult."

"Why didn't you tell us anything?"

"It doesn't matter! Got it!? Forget about it."

"It's the first time you ever shared a secret with me." He grinned.

"Don't make me regret it, Mama's boy. Now, tell me something important. Why did you do that, Cedric?"

"Why did I do what? Gosh, I told you! I wasn't jerki..."

"Shut up. I'm not talking about that, you idiot! Why did you appoint me as the head of the council?"

"Oh," he hesitated. "Because... you're smart. Smarter than me. You said that you wanted a chance to prove yourself? Well, here it is. Now you are not nobody, right? Show them that you're worth something. You've earned it."

He lowered his eyes, and when he raised them again, Elowen was standing so close. She hugged him. Her hair smelled so pleasant and soft. She cried into his shoulder, hugging him tightly.

"Thank you," she whispered. "For everything."

He paused, placing his hand on her head. It felt unexpectedly good to hug her.

"I love you, El."

"No, you don't."

He could bet she was smiling.

"Prince?" a guard suddenly entered.

Elowen's eyes widened; she pushed Cedric away and stood beside.

"Uh... Yes?" Cedric asked, watching as Elowen wiped away her tears.

"I didn't mean to interrupt, but she wants to see you."

"She? Now? Who?"

"Exarchy. It seems she's not happy."

He stepped out, making sure to grab his moon-sword. Before leaving, he took the page with the Dynasty tree and concealed it in his clothing.

"I'll find Mum," Elowen vanished, but Cedric paid no attention to it.

In the center of the camp, the priestesses and warriors of the Library gathered, with Exarchy standing in the middle.

Blunder's soldiers gathered to watch the scene.

"I don't understand, Exarchy. You can't do this!" Blunder protested.

"No, I can. Prince Cedric," Cindy addressed the prince upon noticing him.

"What's happening here?"

"The Exarchy demands that we leave the valley because you stole the books. Tell her that's not true, Cedric."

"Lies are the last thing I want to hear today. Cedric of the Eclipsian Dynasty, we are banishing you and your people from our valley. You abused our hospitality and violated our sacred rules. You stole our books."

"Screw your books! The world is going to perish in a couple of months, and you're concerned about these stupid rules! You are not banishing us because of the books. Am I right?"

A brief pause hung in the air. A white crow flew over the crowd, and Riley, standing behind Blunder, kept a tense gaze on it.

"You are right. I'm banishing you not because of the books. I'm banishing you because you brought death and war to my home. Our valley has become a graveyard for many of our sisters and mothers. And you're responsible for that. You, Cedric from the Eclipsian Dynasty. Get out. NOW! All of you, get out!"

She turned around and, accompanied by her guards, hurried away from the camp.

"So what now?" asked Riley.

"It seems we lost," Blunder glared at Cedric as if it was his fault. "We're leaving."

"But the Eclipse..."

"Don't pretend you care about our mission, Riley," said Blunder. "You never have."

"Cedric!" Elowen, out of breath, ran up. "Mum. She's gone! Her tent is empty."

"Are you sure she's here?" Elowen scanned trees, peering into the forest. It was getting dark, and it became chilly.

"She often goes to the river to think. I guess being with me is too uncomfortable for her after what happened between us in the woods."

"And what exactly happened between you two in the woods?" Elowen asked in surprise.

"Oh... It doesn't matter. Do you remember what happened between us in the woods?"

"I'm trying to forget it like a bad dream."

"I actually enjoyed it," Cedric smiled, and Elowen hit him painfully on the wounded shoulder.

"Ouch!" He winced.

"I'm not our Mommy. I won't encourage your flattery and courtship, got it?"

"I was serious."

He rubbed his shoulder and walked ahead, approaching the water. The moonlight shimmered on the surface, and the forest was so quiet. But there was no sign of Seraphina.

"Did you really hear my words when you were out, Cedric?" She asked.

"Yes. I heard you." He took her hand. She probably wanted to pull away, shout the usual "don't touch me," but she didn't. Her cheeks turned red. She looked very beautiful in the silvery moonlight.

She reached out, touching the scar on his cheek from the dagger's blade.

"Thanks for standing up for me today. Maybe I'm starting to understand why Mum can't resist you."

He leaned in and kissed her, embracing her waist. Strangely, her lips felt so warm and tasty.

She pulled away and lightly hit his chest. "Idiot! What are you doing? I told you -- I'm not like our Mum!"

"Sorry. You're just so beautiful." His cheeks turned crimson too. They stood there like a pair of awkward teenagers.

"Do you smell that?"

"What? If that's some kind of new insult..."

"Stop whining. Look." She pointed toward the sky, where thick dark smoke was rising. It was visible even in the night sky.

"That's Tilidus," Cedric said. "King's people are already here. They arrived faster than Blunder expected. Did the keepers of the Library let them into the valley?"

At that moment, something heavy struck him on the head. He dropped to one knee, everything swirling before his eyes. He tried to reach for his sword.

"Cedric! Help!"

He heard Elowen's distant cry.

"No, Elowen!" Cedric swung the moon-sword through the air. The blade hit someone standing nearby. He heard a female scream, but it wasn't Elowen. It was the one he hit.

Blood was streaming from the back of his head. Cedric swung the blade again.

"Leave him," another woman's voice said. He stepped back and almost fell. He was blinded for a couple of minutes, but pretended to be ready for a fight. Another step, and he almost fell into the water when someone grabbed him by the coat and pulled.

He wanted to attack, but the unknown person stopped the sword. "You're bleeding." It was Riley. "How long have you been standing here? What happened?"

Cedric rubbed his eyes. "Did I lost track of time? Gosh, my head. They... they took them."

"They?" Riley tightened grip on his hilt.

"Library."

He quickly climbed the steps with a small group of soldiers. Blunder let only a few people go for that mission. Lion's army was about to meet Tilidus' troops.

Riley walked alongside Cedric.

"Are you scared?" Riley asked. "Your knees are trembling."

"I'm just not over the shock yet," Cedric said, horror in his eyes as he looked at the building getting closer. "What awaits me there? Can I save Elowen and Mum? It's one thing to fight in training, and another to take someone's life in a real duel. No one is ever ready. That's what Eligh said".

Riley smiled, reading his mind. "Uncertainty is part of the journey, prince."

Cedric heard a familiar caw. The white crow flew in, perching on the shoulder of the white-haired guard. Riley gently stroked it, and the bird, cawing, flew away again.

"Are you.... Are you a spirit?" Cedric asked.

"No, probably not. But I'm somehow connected to them and this place. Blunder found me here, in the valley, when I was a child."

Cedric didn't have time to ask more. They reached the very top. There were no guards. Riley went ahead and swiftly opened the door. Torchlight illuminated the vestibule, and the Exarch's table was empty. A green cloak lay not far away on the ground.

"Elowen," Cedric rushed forward to pick it up. The soldiers entered. "There's a tunnel in the wall. They must be there; it leads downward."

"Stay with us. If you run ahead alone, you'll die," Riley stepped forward, holding his sword ready.

Following the wind, a white crow slowly flew into the hall, inspecting the vestibule. It flew to the Exarch's table, settling on the edge.

At that moment, as if the crow was what they had been waiting for, the door slammed shut. The torches went out.

"It's a trap!"

"Of course, it's a trap." Riley whispered.

They were surrounded. Fighting blindly was foolish, but their enemies didn't care. They captured the crow in a sack. Blunder's men were being killed one by one. Someone grabbed Cedric by the hand and took away moon-sword.

"Weapons are not toys for children. Don't you know that, prince?"

He was just lightly pushed, surrounded by several women. He tried to break free, but he couldn't. His hands were tied. They descended further, dragging someone else nearby, and a bag with a crow hung from someone's belt.

"Where is my sister? Where is my mother?"

"You'll find out soon."

They walked for a long time, descending deep into the mountains until he finally saw light at the end of the descending tunnel. The light got closer, and one of the priestesses awaited them with a torch.

"Are the others dead?" she asked.

No one answered; probably just nodded.

The priestess opened the door, letting them in. Cedric found himself in a vast underground space. It resembled a dungeon prison. When his eyes adjusted to the dim light, he noticed people. But not women--men. Men and boys were scattered in the cells. They stayed still, just staring into nothing, breathing and making incoherent noises.

Cedric and Riley passed the cells, entering a room with chairs and wooden platforms with chains and leather straps.

"What is this place?"

"It's where the future is born." Supreme Exarchy Cindy closed the doors behind them. "All of our knowledge and prophecies come from the spirits. Did you know that, Prince?"

She approached, picking up the bag with the crow. Riley silently observed, his entire face covered in blood.

"Exarchy said that some priestesses have the gift of communicating with spirits," said Cedric.

"She lied. Spirits don't like to reveal secrets unless you force them to. The Library has been using our men since its foundation. We use their bodies as vessels and try to trap spirits inside them. For some reason, men from our bloodline are perfect vessels. Sadly, most men and boys die, but sometimes we manage to trap a spirit."

She took Riley's face, squeezing his cheeks.

"We underestimated your power, and you escaped. But now you are here again. How convenient."

"You experimented on me? Used me as a vessel?" Riley's white eyes filled with anger.

"Yes, and it's still inside you. Kukuwaya managed to escape once he got trapped inside your child's body. It didn't know how to leave you so it erased your memory. I guess that's what happened."

"That's why I hated every second of being here."

Exarchy inspected the bag with the crow. "And now we finally have Corvus. Can you hear me, Faithwinder? We've captured your last servant! What will you do now?" Cindy shouted, looking at the ceiling.

Cedric glanced at Riley, noticing him trying to retrieve the hidden dagger and cut the bound hands.

"Where are my mother and sister?" asked Cedric.

"They will be here very soon. Because of your presence in our valley, we lost some of our women. But fortunately, we now have the last descendant of Leronce and her daughter."

The door to the room opened, Seraphina and Elowen were dragged inside. His sister was unconscious. Their hands were also tied.

"Cedric." Seraphina looked at her son. Her face showed signs of a fight -- bruises, scratches, and dried blood. It was clear she had tried to resist, and as a result, she had been punished.

"You dared to harm her? I'll kill you for that," Cedric tried to break free but received a blow to the face.

"We'll use your mother and sister as incubators to give birth to new descendants of the library founders. I'll take away your family just as you took away mine. I was on my own and I had to take on all this responsibility..."

"Don't tell me about responsibility." His face still burned with pain after the blow. "I know what it's like when it suddenly falls on your shoulders."

She stared into his eyes for a couple of seconds and turned away.

"I didn't know about what's going on here, Cedric. I promise..."

Cindy hit Seraphina in the face.

"Be silent. I have big plans for you two. All that's left is to find a perfect vessel for Corvus. Then all the spirits of Faithwinder will finally be ours."

Cedric slowly shifted his gaze to the bound Riley. His restraints were almost torn, but for some reason, he wasn't moving. His already pale face grew even paler; it seemed like he was listening to something or someone inside.

He suddenly looked at the Cedric.

"Prince. Tell Blunder that I have always been... loyal to our mission. And to him." A tear rolled down his pale face. Riley tore the rope and, with a swift motion, slashed his own throat with the dagger's blade.

A sharp, blinding light illuminated the room. The bag with the raven slipped from Cindy's hands, and Corvus was freed. When the light faded, and the lifeless Riley lay on the ground, two birds intertwined in the air--a raven and an owl. The owl flew towards Elowen, while the raven, cawing loudly, headed straight for Cedric.

"No." Cedric covered his face, bracing for the inevitable collision.

But nothing happened. He opened his eyes, the light wind rubbing his hair, the bindings were gone.

"What... happened?" He looked around. He stood on a high hill, and below was a large city with a red castle in its center. He felt certain that the answer to how to stop the Eclipse was somewhere there.

"You completed the task."

Cedric heard a voice behind. He turned around. Faithwinder looked at him (though it didn't have eyes), with a raven on its shoulder. "Thank you. It was all Corvus's idea. He just needed to get inside. And for you -- to bring Kukuwaya, I mean, Riley, inside with you."

"So, you just used me?"

"No. We observed how you took care of your family, your sister, and your mother. We were trying to understand if you're truly worthy. You proved your love for your family. You are good brother and son. The library has caused spirits to suffer for many centuries. Their desire to know the secrets of the universe and the future led them to the fate of butchers. How many men, their brothers and sons, perished? They brought back evil that had been hidden for many million years and should've stayed hidden. The Ancient One..."

The raven suddenly cawed.

"Yes, yes. I got distracted, you're right, Corvus." Faithwinder stroked the raven. "We waited for a long time. Alone, spirits are weak, but when there are many of us, there is nothing more powerful. And now, with the strength of my two faithful servants, Corvus and Kukuwaya, in the enemy's lair, I can destroy the Library and free all my spirits. Your friend had no future, Cedric. Don't pity Riley as his sacrifice will never be forgotten."

Corvus flew up.

"You saved your sister and mother; you saved the spirits. We are in your eternal debt. The answers you seek are in the Red Castle. In my gratitude Corvus and Kukuwaya will follow you. They are spirits of love, two parts of one whole. They'll take care of you and, please, take care of them."

Everything flashed before Cedric's eyes. "Wait. I still have questions!"

But Faithwinder was already gone.

It hit him like a splash of cold water, while warm air filled his lungs. Dungeon's walls rumbled and shook.

"What's happening?" asked one of the priestesses.

"Spirits..." said Exarchy.

Cedric tore the rope, breaking free. His hand reached out, grabbing his moon-sword from the priestess standing nearby. He attacked as Eligh had taught him, he wounded the first one, then the second, clearing his way forward.

Debris fell around them, almost blocking the entrance. Cedric picked up the dagger that had fallen from Riley's hands and plunged it straight into Cindy's heart. "That's for hurting my family."

She emitted a strange squeal, going limp in his arms.

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

"Me too." Cedric sharply pulled out the knife, letting the body fall.

Everyone in the room hurried to the exit. Cedric quickly looked one more time at where Riley's body was, but the white-haired soldier was already under a heap of rocks.

"Cedric! Help me!" Seraphina tried to pull the unconscious Elowen away from falling stones. He approached, cutting the ropes on his mother's hands. Cedric lifted Elowen, and they headed out of the room. Bright light, like after Riley's death, illuminated the corridors of the dark dungeon. Spirits were releasing, destroying the foundation of the Library.

Most of the priestesses had already climbed the unblocked slopes. The vast chamber, filled with emaciated men dressed in rags, was still crowded. They weren't spirits, but rather victims of unsuccessful experiments. Empty shells.

"We must set them free!" He put Elowen down to find the key.

"Cedric! What are you doing! Are you out of your mind? We need to go. Come to your senses. We won't make it in time," Seraphina urged towards the exit.

"I can't abandon these people to die." He spotted a key near one of the bodies (his eyes immediately noticed the metallic glint of keys on the floor). As he reached for it, someone closer to the bars snatched it away.

"Don't. Leave us." The old man behind bars hid the keys. "I know you want to help, kid, but there's no future for us. Most here have long been dead inside."

"But I..."

"Go. Save yourself, kid."

"Eligh!" Seraphina shouted, but before Cedric could turn around, someone grabbed him by the neck and pulled along. It was Eligh.

"The exit is in the other direction. Prince."

"But we can't leave them!"

"You've done all you could." Along with Eligh, there were several soldiers, all looking tired after battle.

"What is this place?" asked one of them.

"Doesn't matter now. Let's go. Run you fools." The old man lifted Elowen's body.

Eligh carried the princess, and Cedric helped Seraphina. She attempted to hide it, but it looked like that when she was captured, she had been hit too hard on the head. She continued to lean on him, her boobs gently touching his chest.

"I'm so sorry, dear. Forgive me, Cedric," she whispered.

"There's nothing to be sorry for." He held her one boob and adjusted his grip on her body, continuing to climb up. "What's happening, Eligh?"

The upstairs seemed endless.

"Tilidus attacked. That's what."

"Impossible," Seraphina almost stumbled. "Arik would never..."

"Your husband has gone mad, Queen. It's time to admit it."

Another handful of the king's soldiers gathered at vestibule, when they finally reached the top. Captian Conrad was among them.

"We need to leave the library before it collapses with us," Conrad said.

"We can't leave. There are books here!" said Seraphina.

"Forget about your books. They're already beyond saving," Eligh rushed towards the exit, and the soldiers hurried after him.

Cedric had to literally drag his Mum away when the building began to collapse. The knowledge accumulated here for centuries was now buried under a pile of stones. They miraculously saved themselves when the collapsing library only took a part of the stairs with it.

"The Library..." Seraphina fell to her knees in horror. She watched as the accumulated knowledge, gathered in one place for centuries by her ancestors turned into dust and ruins.

"You can't do anything now, Mum."

"I'm sorry, but there's no time for grief. Don't mourn scraps of paper, Queen." Eligh approached, handing Conrad Elowen's body. "You need to leave. Conrad will guide you through the secret passage."

Cedric only now noticed that the valley and the camp were once again engulfed in flames.

It was madness.

"What about you?" Cedric looked into the old man's eyes. "Will you come with us?"

"We must find Blunder. We have to save our lord." He drew his sword and placed a hand on the prince's shoulder. "I've taught you everything I knew, Cedric. Our training has come to an end."

"Don't say it. I... I'm not ready yet, Eligh."

"No one is ever ready. Go, do what you must. Save the world."

Eligh gave orders to Blunder's people and hurried down the stairs. Only Conrad stayed behind. Cedric looked back at the soldiers, thoughts swirling in his head.

"Come on. There's another way down here." Conrad rushed down and suddenly veered off, carrying Elowen's body down a steep hill.

"Mum?" Cedric turned around. Seraphina sat there, shocked, still on her knees.

"Arik would never... He would never," she whispered.

"It's time for us to leave." He helped her stand and followed Conrad.

The path through the forest was tough.

"We almost there. Cedric, give me a hand here." Conrad handed him Elowen's body.

They kept walking through the valley, and it was hard to ignore the sounds of battle. The fight between Blunder and the king's soldiers kept going.

Sometimes Seraphina would cover her ears, unable to listen any longer.

"You're Conrad. Right? I remember you from the council," Cedric said.

Conrad silently continued walking forward, scanning the forest with his keen eyes for enemies.

"Do you know anything about the Red Castle?"

"Are you talking about Solarion's Red Castle?" Conrad replied.

"Does it belong to Solarion?"

"The Red Castle is the capital of Solarion. King Malachin lives there."

Cedric decided to keep quiet about the unpleasant fact that he now needed to go there.

"Cedric?" Elowen finally half-opened her eyes, touching his cheek with her hand.

"Finally. My hands were getting stiff, sissy. You didn't last long as the head of the council, did you?"

"What are you talking about. Ugh, my head."

"Over here!" Conrad pointed to the opening between two rocks. Dead Blunder's people, the watchmen, were here.

When they left the valley, they walked for a long time, until dawn. Elowen could walk on her own now, but Cedric still supported her.

"I heard everything... Everything that happened. I don't know how, but. It's so strange inside," she touched her chest.

"It's Kukuwaya."

"Who?"

"Doesn't matter."

The night was coming to an end, but they kept going.

"I left all my things at the camp" Seraphina almost stumbled, but Cedric helped her. "So many books, so much knowledge."

She pressed her head into his shoulder, seemingly unable to take another step. His arms stung from fatigue, but he lifted Mum up and carried her anyway. She was slightly heavier Elowen.

"We're almost there. The village is close. Put on your hoods and follow me. No one should recognize you," Conrad said.

They reached the village soon. Right in the middle was a big statue of King Arik. Cedric looked at his father's face carved in stone under the morning sun and then went with everyone into the house that Conrad rented. He noticed that Seraphina didn't even glance at the statue.

"We'll be safe here. At least for now."

No one responded. Seraphina lit the fireplace, silently watching the dance of the flames. And Elowen went straight to bed.

"Thank you, Conrad," said Cedric.

"I'll keep an eye on the house. Rest, and watch over your mother and sister, Prince. I'm sure they're going through a tough time right now." Conrad left, leaving them alone.

Cedric didn't want t rest. "I need to ask you, Mum. Did you really know nothing about what was happening in the library all these centuries?"

"Not now, Cedric, Please."

"Swear to me that you knew nothing."

"I swear!"

He sighed and sat down beside her, helping her tend to her wounds. Gently, he wiped away the blood on her cheek and lips.

"Your Dad was always so gentle, respectful. He wouldn't harm a fly... But to send his people against Lord Blunder. How wrong I was."

"I've said it before. We wouldn't have escaped from the castle if he were the same man you fell in love with. Maybe it's time to admit that he has changed? Maybe he... no longer loves you? And us?"

She remained silent for some time, contemplatively gazing into the fire. "Maybe you're right. Maybe I was so blinded by my love to him."

She burst into tears, loudly and terribly. Cedric sat beside her and hugged his dear Mother. He ran his hands along her back, pressing her head to his chest.

"But I still have you, Cedric. My dear son."

He hugged her tighter, feeling a sudden surge of strength. "Her loyalty to Dad is fading," he smiled, feeling the beating of her heart. Or was it his heart pounding wildly? It was now difficult to tell.

Elowen peacefully slept. Her hair fell on her face. She was so beautiful. Cedric entered the room to make sure she was okay. He touched her cheek, then her chest, trying to feel the beats of her heart.

"Corvus and Kukuwaya," he whispered.

"What are you doing, Mama's boy?" Elowen suddenly opened her eyes.

He quickly withdrew his hand, frightened. "I...uh...nothing."

"Do you want to touch my boobs?"

"What? No, no! I don't..."

As he answered, she took his hand and guided it to her breast. He loved the sensation, he didn't resist, just enthusiastically swam with the current. Elowen's breasts were smaller than Seraphina's, but attractive and beautiful in their own way. Her nipple was amusingly hard and small.

"Come here." She grabbed him by his clothes and pulled closer, kissing him on the lips. He did the same. His sister tasted like strawberries. Her lips were driving him crazy. Her mouth felt like the most warm and tender place in the world.

"What are you doing... Elowen? You should be recovering."

"What a fucking crybaby you are, brother. I almost died today. Just shut up and enjoy it."

She kissed him again and pulled close, and Cedric didn't resist. Elowen pulled down her dress, exposing her breasts and firm young ass.

She guided his hands to her ass cheeks, it felt like an electric shock hit him.

"I'll be honest. I don't know why, but I liked what we did back then in the woods too. I almost died and I want to repay you for saving me... Take off your pants."

"No, Elowen. That...that must be the spirit talking in you." He jerked away, but she didn't let him go.

"Shut up, idiot. What spirit? You've done so much for me already. Let me just repay you. I remember our kiss. I'm not stupid and I understand everything. If you going to fuck our Mom you have to more experienced. To satisfy such a woman."

"I'm not going to fuck our Mom!" He jerked away and sat on the bed next to her. Elowen lay on her stomach, seductively playing with boobs and nipples.

"I was so afraid of losing you and Mom today." He brushed away her dark locks, tracing his fingers along her skin. She looked at him, and he looked at her.

"You are beautiful."

"Could you come up with anything smarter?" She smirked. Cedric climbed onto her, grabbing her and putting on her back. "That's better."

Elowen bit her lip when he took off his pants. His pink tip peeked out, but he didn't proceed any further. "This is my... first time."

"Mine too." She grabbed his ass and guided him straight into her. His cock collided with the pink insides of Elowen's vagina and against his will went inside. "Ughhh, Elowen."

He closed his eyes, squeezing her breasts. She was insanely tight, and he just collapsed onto her chest.

"Unbelievable."

"I might not have much experience, but it feels like we should do more than just lie still when making love. Are you tired?"

"Just relax and let me savor the moment."

"I want to savor the moment too!"

He pulled his cock out and entered again, slamming into her. The sensations were too incredible to describe. He took her neck and kissed her again.

Cedric kissed her harshly, clumsily, breathing heavily. Elowen mooed with each thrust of her brother's hips. They covered themselves with the blanket.

"Gotta not wake...Mom." He said between kisses.

Making love was so much better than imagining or thinking about it.

"Ughh, Elowen."

"Can you shut up, please?"

His cock went in and out perfectly; he moved his hips sharply and vigorously. He pounded her with slaps. He penetrated so deep that he seemed to touch her very belly. Thrust after thrust. "Oooooghhh, gosh, yeah." Her insides were juicy and soft. Her pussy was getting wetter with is second. He was wrong. The most warm and tender place in the world was her pussy and not her mouth.

Elowen dug her claws into his back, scratching at it.

"Ohhhh, yes. Cedric. Yes. Faster, faster."

He had no intention of stopping. He just got more comfortable in his position and continued to thrust into her in precipitous thrusts. He felt like the air was escaping from his chest, as if he might faint soon.

"Are you close? Finish... But not inside." She bit her lip and covered her eyes, enjoying her brother inside her. "Thank you for taking care of me, Cedric. Ooooghhh, yeah, Enjoy it."

He was just on the verge. Her tight vagina was driving him crazy, there was no way he could last much longer.

She squealed, twitching. Her vaginal walls squeezed his cock and he barely had time to pull it out.

"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yes, Elowen!" He guided it to her breasts. The back of his head felt like it had been hit with a stick. The white liquid flew right out onto her red boobs, her face and stomach. "Ooooghhh, so good."

She watched rapturously as her body became covered in his sticky clots of cum, the insides of his balls. "Oh, yeah."

His lungs filled with warm air, a pleasant chill of bliss and pleasure traveled down the back of his neck and head. He finally shook the last drops from the tip and collapsed beside Elowen.

"Madness...What have we done."

She lay down beside him, covering him with the blanket in a motherly way. "We lost our virginity. Sleep. We're both very tired."

He wanted to sleep badly, but kept his eyes open.

"I'm so, so sorry. Cedric. You did so much for me and I...let you down." She lay back and a tear rolled down the bridge of her eye, falling onto the pillow.

"You have nothing to apologies for."

She didn't answer and they both drifted into sleep.

He woke up alone, it was still night. "El?"

Her side was empty. He got up, put on his trousers, and went back to Seraphina's bed, lying down next to his mother.

"Who's that?" she half-turned, when Cedric put his hands on her waist and boobs, hugging her from behind.

"It's me, Mum. It's okay." He snuggled up behind her. Just like that first night in the tent. Cedric pressed his cock against her big tight ass. She felt it through her sleepy state and for some reason she smiled.

He smiled along with her..

"Goodnight my husband." She kissed him in the lips. This time she used her tongue. It was an incredible sensation -- a real kiss, full of love and passion. And she was the one who initiated it. He finally tasted her. Their tongues entwined in a frantic kiss, saliva stirred and dripping down her chin on bed. He seemed maddened by the kiss, but suddenly Seraphina ended it.

She rested her head on his arm and fell soundly asleep.

"Love you, Mum." He whispered to her ear and drifted to sleep.

"Incredible," a young general in dark gray armor with the eclipse symbol engraved on his chest observed the ruins of the Library.

"For centuries this place has been a repository of knowledge and prophecies. But you, Lord Blunder, destroyed it only in a month of your stay."

"Why... Why did you attack? Why? Why did Arik do that?" Blunder, wounded and battered, sat kneeling beside the slain body of General Rosco.

"You will call him only as the King in my presence. We weren't going to attack. Our great king is at war with Solarion. Why would he waste energy, time and resources on a handful of unfaithful dumb soldiers. If the queen and prince want to play heroes, so be it. At least they won't distract him from more important matters. But the letters that have been coming to him..."

"Letters?" Blunder looked at Tilidus through a blackened eye. "I don't understand."

"The princess reported everything happening here to the king--about the terrible abuses against her and her brother, about you holding them here by force, but worst of all, Lord Blunder. She informed the king about your audacity in courting the queen behind his back."

"It's a lie! I would never..."

"Silence! No one dares to steal the wife of the Eclipse Dynasty's king. You attempted to become her lover. For this, your people are sentenced to death, and you, Lord Blunder, lose all status and will be executed. Personally by the king."

The bright morning sun made him squint. He woke up feeling pressure on his chest. Seraphina was lying on top of him. Her breasts were resting right against his chest and he could feel her nipples through the tender and transparent nightgown.

Her hand was resting on his groin, one of her finger right on Cedric's cock. He looked at Seraphina's sleepy face - the wounds healed a little overnight.

"I won't let anyone harm you again, Mom." He moved closer, kissing her cheek and then gently moving to Seraphina's lips.

"Mmm... Cedric? Don't," she mumbled through the sleep, waking up and turning away, resting the head on the other half of his chest.

"It's time to get up. You're going to strangle me, Mum... Ughh." He licked his lips to savour Seraphina's taste.

"What? Oh, sorry." She removed her hand from his groin and pulled herself, sitting up on the bed and wiping the sleepy eyes. Her dress fallen off, exposing the pale back. He could see half of her boob and round firm butt.

"Go wake up your sister." She slipped her dress over the shoulders, fixing he hair. "I'll make something to eat."

He got up and walked to Elowen's room door. For a moment, he hesitated, recalling what happened yesterday.

"Elowen, get up," Cedric opened the door, but the room was empty. His sister's few belongings were gone. "Elowen!?"

"Elowen left," Conrad slowly closed the door to the hut, covering the only half-open window.

"What do you mean she left? Where's my daughter?" Seraphina asked.

"She left early in the morning, packed her things, and headed back towards the valley. Your daughter made her choice."

"No, no. This can't be! She wouldn't do that. Did you let her go?"

"Could I stop Arik's daughter? She'll meet the king's people and return to her father. And there's nothing you can do about it."

"But, but... Tilidus!"

"Milady. Tilidus is a dreadful man, but he would never harm the princess. He's too loyal to the king."

Seraphina sat down in a chair feeling numb, lost. She closed her eyes in silent inner pain and horror.

No one mentioned Elowen for the rest of the day. It was like she had never been with them at all. But Seraphina still occasionally opened the door to her room, hoping to find someone there.

During breakfast and lunch, Conrad watched the prince expectantly, never taking the eyes off him.

"If you have something to say, spit it out," said Cedric.

"I just want to know what now?" He finally asked. "What's our next step, prince?"

Seraphina answered for her son. "We'll return to Arik, just like Elowen did. Our mission failed. There's nothing we can do."

"Return to the king?" exclaimed Conrad. "After what happened? I left my home and family not to abandon everything now. My brothers in arms are dead, Blunder is captured. No, milady. That's not happening."

"The library is destroyed, Conrad. What now? There's nowhere else we can go!"

"The Red Castle," Cedric finally spoke up. "We need to go to the Red Castle."

Conrad sighed. "I got it that you didn't ask about the Red Castle for no reason."

"The Red Castle?" Seraphina repeated in horror. "The Red Castle of Solarion? But that's the lair of the enemy. Malachin and the inhabitants of those lands are insane, they're fanatics. Cedric, we can't go there."

"Answers are there. Faithwinder said so."

"Who's Faithwinder? Maybe he just wants to harm you. Malachin will kill you once you set foot on his land. You're the son of his biggest enemy!"

"Do you think you know better than me? You didn't know what was going on in the Library all these years, and you were wrong about Dad. Please, don't try to teach me, Mom. You can go back to Dad if you want! Alone!"

Seraphina fell silent, shamefully lowering her head. Conrad finished his meal and stood up. "So it's decided. I will head to the northern border at Astoria Prime. It's not far, just a day's journey from here. I know a man who will help us cross the empire's border unnoticed. You know where that is." Conrad glanced at Seraphina and she barely nodded. "You should depart in four days. By then, I'll have everything we need for our trip prepared. While I'm away, be cautious around the locals. No one should know who you are."

He dressed in his armor, put on his cloak, and fastened his belt with a sword. Then, he left, closing the door gently. Seraphina and Cedric were now alone.

"Don't fret over Elowen," Cedric said.

"I don't. Never raise your voice at me again. I'll go swim up in the lake. I saw one nearby," Seraphina said as she got up to clear the table.

He felt oddly thrilled at the thought of finally being alone with his Mother.

Seraphina walked through the empty streets and straight through the forest to the lake.

Arik's statue, standing in the very center of the village, seemed to watch her until she disappeared behind the trees.

Finally, Seraphina found herself alone for the first time since their escape and allowed herself to cry. Her Cedric could have been one of those kept in the Library's dungeons. How could all those women let it happen? All these men used as vessels were their brothers and sons. Could she ever harm Cedric even for the greater good?

Her thoughts unconsciously returned to the last months of her pregnancy.

"I'm sure it's a boy," she ran her hand over her belly under the dress, standing in the middle of the king's chamber.

Her husband, his head not yet covered with a multitude of gray hairs, pensively looked at some papers and maps in front of him, where figures were arranged - red and blue.

"Arik?!"

"Huh? Oh, yes, of course. The child. The 18th descendant," he said strangely, then glanced at her belly, almost with undisguised hatred. Fire gleamed in his eyes.

"All you ever do is think about your kingdoms and throne. He's not just another descendant, he's our son."

"I'm just exhausted," he said, standing up and walking towards her. "We've been battling Solarion for as long as I can remember. These people fight like beasts. But the end of the Eternal War is close, I can sense it. This new king, Malachin, may cause problems, but he's weak. I'll defeat him and become the descendant who finally vanquished Solarion. I'll be the first ruler of a united Eclipsian Empire. The whole Elradia will be conquered."

"Even if you can't do it, I believe Cedric can. Maybe he'll be the first ruler of a united Empire?"

"Cedric?" He looked surprised, and she kissed him.

"You don't mind? I like this name."

"Sure, let it be Cedric. Cedric, Savior of the Eclipse Dynasty," he smiled faintly.

Seraphina sat by the warm spring, gently touching her empty belly. She looked into the forest, lost in thought.

"The kingdom and the throne were always his main focus. I was too blinded to see it. Ughhh." She trembled all over, sinking down and feeling a pleasant sensation between the legs. "Warm water affects me too much."

She bit her lip, reaching a hand down between thighs. Touching her reddened cheeks she suddenly pulled her hand away. "No. I shouldn't. Control yourself, Seraphina."

Cedric stared into the fire, wrapped in a warm blanket. So many people died because of him, because of their belief in him. Like Conrad, they all left their homes for their mission, but he had not lived up to their expectations.

Riley is dead. And Blunder is probably dead too.

"So many lies. I'm not who they think I am."

He gazed into the fire, sweat dripping down his forehead, and in the tongues of flame, he saw fields of vines and dried blood. New life is resurgent. The future, new era. And on the throne of the ruler of the United Eclipsian Empire sits the 20th descendant. A woman.

"What are you trying to show me?" Cedric whispered and pulled out from his clothes the only thing left to him from the library. A sheet with the family tree.

He ran his fingers over the spot where his ancestor's name should have been and turned the sheet, where in golden symbols gleamed the inscription.

"18th and 19th. When the night meets the dawn - one will stand, one will fall"

"I'm the 18th descendant. Will I really have to fight my potential son or maybe daughter?" He scratched the head, imagining his pregnant wife.

She's standing with her back to him, looking out over the kingdom, her hand resting on her big belly.

Then she turns to him.

And it's Seraphina.

His on Mother pregnant with his child.

The door suddenly slammed shut, and he nearly fell off the chair.

"Mom?"

"I'm back," Seraphina pulled back her hood and threw away the cloak. She was slightly wet, and her nipples showed through the dress. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing." But before he could hide the sheet, she grabbed it. "Hey!"

"Did you take this from the library? You're just like your father. Hmmm, is this our family tree? I remember when the priestess came to the castle to write down your names. It's written with sun ink." She handed him the sheet.

"Sun ink?"

"It shines in the sun."

His eyes ran over the sheet, over the name of the sixth descendant - Thaloran. Cedric turned away, tucking the sheet back into his clothing. He pictured her pregnant again, and suddenly, his cheeks turned red. "So, uhm, has anyone seen you?"

"No. I didn't run into anyone. People here seem too intimidated by something. Or someone. I think so."

She took off her wet dress. Cedric saw her delicate white back and turned away.

"We have four days to spend somehow, Mom."

"You should keep training even though Eligh is gone." She put on another dress and adjusted her beautiful wet brown hair.

"Yes, I know. But we could..ugh... you know... Talk?"

"Talk?" She turned to face him.

"You could tell me about Dad. Why did he come to the Library when you met? Did he also steal something from the Library?"

"I don't want to talk about your father."

"Then we can talk about you. About us."

She looked at him closely.

"Fine, let's talk about your Dad. Arik arrived two decades ago for research purposes. He wanted to know someting about the Dynasty and its 20th descendant. He claimed to have been granted permission to take the prophecy with him, but I suspect he simply stole it. I never actually asked him what he was doing there when we met. And he never wanted to talk about it."

"Right. The prophecy you've been silent about. The 20th descendant. the 18th and 19th Starborne's descendants have to prove Eclipsian Sovereigns' right to the throne. And the 20th descendant...?"

"It's already late, Cedric. I think it's time for you to go to bed. You can take Elowen's room if you want."

"No. I want to sleep with you."

"Fine."

"The power of the Second Eclipse? I do not need the power of the Gods. My grandgrandfather, fool Alaric, thought he could conquer Eldaria in just a couple of hours of the Eclipse. He was mistaken. After all these years Solarion still resists!"

"But, Thaloran, your Majesty..."

"Silence! Let the power of the Eclipse flow through my veins. Slowly. Its power will be not as great and powerful, but it will last for a longer time. And this power will be passed on to my children, and their children's children. Erase all mentions of the second Eclipse from all chronicles. Our enemies must not know about it."

Cedric woke up and the voices in his head stopped.

He heard noises in the night and felt the bed shaking. Seraphina was quietly groaning.

She turned to the wall, her right shoulder twitching.

He remained still, not showing any sign of being awake, just waiting. Suddenly, she groaned a little louder, her body twitching and jerking. Acting almost as if he was dreaming, he put his arm around her, hugging Mom. Seraphina twitched again, kissing his hand that ended up near her face.

"My... boy... Ohhhh." She exhaled, wrapping her arm around his hand.

She was breathing hard, and he noticed the smell of her sweat and something else. They stayed like that for a few minutes, with him looking at the back of her head, feeling the scent of her luscious hair.

Finally, he leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "You know I'm the only man worthy of you now. Father betrayed you."

He slipped his hand under her nightgown, touching her bare stomach and trying to reach higher, towards boobs.

"Don't, Cedric. Please," she closed her eyes, barely breathing, unable to stop her son's hand.

"Why not? We're supposed to be together by prophecy. There's nothing wrong with this."

When his hands were so close to her boobs, Seraphina finally spoke clearly. "NO!"

Her hand painfully squeezed Cedric's wrist, forcing him to remove his hand. "NO, because I am your mother! The prophecy lies. Now, sleep!"

He sighed quietly and turned his face to the other side.

The next day they hardly talked. Cedric pondered his dreams and what lay ahead, while Seraphina dwelled on Arik.

Later in the evening, she served dinner. "I know I'm not the best cook. Usually, the chefs at the castle or in the camp handled this. But it's better than nothing.'"

"Sorry for yesterday, Mom. I don't know what got into me."

"It's okay. No hard feelings, dear."

They awkwardly remained silent as the evening gradually darkened outside the window.

"If you don't want to discuss father, or us, then let's talk about our destination. Tell me something about Solarion and the Eternal War. When we were home, you always tried to shield Elowen and me from the war and news from the North."

She looked at him wearily, rolling her eyes.

"I don't want to talk about the war, Cedric. I just can tell you that the Eternal war ruined your father. His desire to be the first to defeat Solarion always brought out his worst sides."

"Then maybe you could just tell me something about the 20th descendant?" He looked into her face, hoping to finally hear something, perhaps answers to his visions.

But Seraphina's face remained impassive; she silently consumed her food, staring into space.

"No. I don't want to talk about it."

He slammed his hand on the table. It was a sudden flash of anger, similar to when he attacked Riley trying to protect his sister. "I know you're sad about Dad, but life goes on! Maybe enough with the whining, and it's time to pull yourself together and start doing something? How am I supposed to do anything if I know nothing!"

"Do not you dare raise your voice at me, boy," she clenched the handle of the knife in her hand.

"I'm not a boy anymore. Now I'm in charge here, not you. You lost the last shreds of my respect when you first refused our prophecy because of your love for Arik, and then when it turned out you knew nothing about what was happening in your own home, in the Library!"

"Library was never my home..." Seraphina said, almost crying. The knife slipped from her hand. "It was you."

"You're to blame for those people's deaths. You couldn't protect me and Elowen. You were lucky that I saved you."

She pushed the table forward with a crash and stood up. Seraphina hurried to the exit, slamming the front door behind her.

Cedric returned to the leftover food, his anger surging, his veins pulsing on the head. His face flushed with blood, making it hard to think clearly.

After the anger subsided a little, he clasped his face. Feeling hopeless, anxious, and horrified, he wanted to cry but held back the tears.

"How could I have said such things to her? She is my Mother."

Seraphina only returned at night when he was trying to sleep. He pretended to be asleep, and she lay down beside him, hugging Cedric as he hug her yesterday.

"Forgive me for condemning you to this fate. Forgive me for everything."

He turned to meet her face and wiped a tear from her cheek. "It's not your fault. I'm sorry for shouting. I realized the importance of our mission too late. And people got hurt. I love you, Mom..."

Cedric kissed her tear-stained lips. It felt like by acknowledging their faults they grew even closer. Or so it seemed to him.

"I love you, Cedric. I'm sorry I can't marry you. And I'm sorry we can't fulfill the prophecy. It was doomed from the moment I became the mother of the 18th descendant."

Cedric stayed quiet, gently caressing her lips once more. His mother looked so beautiful.

He woke up early in the morning. It was the final day. Today, they were going to the border. Outside the window, he could hear birds singing, and sunlight was streaming into the room.

He slowly turned his head, noticing a figure through the morning light. Seraphina stood with her back to him, leaning over her bag in search of something. Perhaps this noise awakened him. Apparently, she didn't have time to change and she just returned from the morning swim. Drops were still dripping from Seraphina's body.

His jaw dropped a little when he noticed her dress was pulled up, exposing her bare pussy.

Cedric stiffened at the sight. He had no control over his body and acted as if on instinct. He quietly threw off the bedspread and stood up, coming closer behind.

"Where is that damn paper?" she whispered. Only now did he realize that she was searching not her own bag, but his.

He pulled down his underwear and at Seraphina's next phrase "where is it god damn it?" he entered his birthplace with a sharp slap against her ass.

'Ughhhhhhhhh!!!" He entered all the way in, fully, and only his balls remained outside her vagina. A wave of incredible pleasure swept through the body. It was an incredible sensation.

"Agghhhh... Cedric?!" Seraphina tried to wriggle out, but he grabbed her waist and held her bent over.

Her wet dress felt cold, but her insides were insanely warm and cuddly. Her sticky, slick, sweet insides clung tightly to the cock. He couldn't pinpoint the sensations for a few seconds, it was both strange to be inside her and euphoric to the point of madness at the same time.

"Ohhh, Mom!!!!"

He tried to go in even deeper, but there was just nowhere else to go, so licking the edge of his mouth Cedric moved his hips backwards.

"Ohhhhhh, unbelievable," he groaned and shuddered one more time as a wave of insane euphoria struck his head.

"No, Cedric. Don't! Mmmm." Seraphina tried to suppress a moan, still bent over. "You shouldn't... We can't!"

At that moment he entered her again with a sharp thrust as if making one last thrust before ejaculating, plunging as deep into her vagina as he could. He didn't hear her, he couldn't hear her. He was drowning in his rapture, fumbling with the waistband of her dress, pulling it even higher.

"Ohhhh, I can't believe I'm finally inside you." He lifted his head, taking a deep breath.

"Don't, Cedric." She tried to wriggle out again, but he pulled her down again. "No, Cedric."

He bit his lip, he was torn with excitement, so he withdrew again, about to take another thrust and delve into her, plunge into the mad pleasure of love.

But that was the end of it.

"I said No!" she pushed him away with a sharp thrust, his cock full of her juice slipping out of the vagina. Seraphina straightened up and turned around to punch him in the face.

It was a surprisingly strong punch, stronger than Elowen's blow in the forest. Everything went blurry before the eyes, and he nearly fell. Strangely, the pain seemed to heighten the pleasure.

Seraphina struck again. This time the blow was stronger, but he stood his ground once more. Blood trickled from his lips; her nail scratched his cheek. She wanted to strike again, but this time he grew tired of being hit in the face, so Cedric intercepted the wrist.

"Have you completely lost your mind? What have you done? How could you do this? You penetrated me!" She swung her other hand, but he intercepted it too.

"Stop hitting me. I'm sorry, okay? Is that what you want to hear? I'm sorry!"

She kneed him in the stomach. Looks like she wasn't kidding. She knew how to fight.

It was the most painful blow of the morning. He bent over in front of her, falling to his knees and releasing the grip. It felt like some organ was definitely hit.

"Ugh." Something fell in front of his face. It was a bucket.

"Go get water from the well. I don't want to see you right now. I'll think about what you've done and about the trouble you've caused! I just can't believe it! Gods give me strenghts!" Seraphina held back from hitting him again, grabbed some things, and went into another room, slamming the door behind her.

"Well, it could've been worse. She could've killed me."

He stepped out of the hut, rubbing his eyes. Sheet with the family tree was still with him. Was she looking for it?

"Did it really happen? I entered it, and it was so incredibly good."

The statue of his father seemed to gaze at him from all directions, towering over the entire village.

Standing by the well and observing the statue of his father, he heard a voice from behind.

"Dear, would you help an old lady fetch some water?" An old lady extended a bucket towards him.

Cedric considered refusing -- he didn't like carrying heavy weights. And to do it for someone other than himself? But he nodded anyway; besides, his body had grown slightly stronger.

At that moment, the old woman's lips twisted and uttered some sounds. He could swear they sounded like words, but he couldn't make them out.

"What... what did you say?"

She smiled, as if mocking him. "I said thank you. Gishikarta. Don't you speak Solarion? I knew right away you're not from here. You argue a lot with your girlfriend, don't you?"

She looked at blood on his lips and cheek.

"There's only one language. Elradian."

"Oh no, son. There are many languages. There were many until the conquerors from the Eclipsian Dynasty came. Many in Gshaan still speak solarion."

Only now did he notice a small tattoo on the old woman's pale face. "You're Solarion. And this is Gshaan -- the last of the conquered by Eclipse Empire cities of Solarion."

"And you shouldn't be here, son." The old woman smiled through yellow teeth. "Don't linger here for long. I don't know why you came here or for how long, but life in Gshaan is dreadful. It's better to leave while you can. You're young, you have nothing to do in this awful place. Our town has known no peace since the times when we were captured. One day Solarion will free us, and we will live in peace."

"Solarion? But aren't you thriving under the Eclipse Empire?"

"Huh! Does it seem like we're thriving? Our town is impoverished, we're kept in fear, and they levy too much tribute from us. The king's people only care about the statue. Do you think he's here for any other reason than trying to scare us?"

Cedric glanced again at the statue and the cold expression of his father's stone face. At that moment, the old woman's lips uttered sounds again.

"Excuse me?"

"Let the Dynasty of Eclipse and all its damned lineage be cursed. Murderers."

"You're insane. All Solarions are insane. That's it. You just don't know what you are talking about."

She suddenly laughed, loudly and kindly. "I didn't expect any other reaction from a child of the empire."

He grabbed his bucket and hurried back to his hut.

"Crazy old lady."

The sun was setting, casting darkness.

"I'm so sorry, Mom." Cedric packed his bag to leave.

Seraphina sat beside him, gazing out of the window in the opposite direction.

"Let's talk about it later. For now, I don't want to discuss it."

They waited until the patrol in black empire armor passed by (weird, there were no patrols on other days while they were in the town) and then left the hut.

He walked behind, the bag with his stuff was so damn heavy, but he kept going; Seraphina's ass was making him follow her. He couldn't take his eyes off it. Even in a cloak, hood, and with a bag, he would easly recognize his Mom by the look of her two rear sexy bulges.

"We will go through forests, the main road is too dangerous," she said.

They were about to leave Gshaan when Cedric suddenly halted. Moonlight illuminated his father's statue whose face was pointing directly at him, prompting him to turn around.

Before him stretched out a large cemetery, brimming with graves, both old and new.

An inscription outside the cemetery read.

"For those who refused to live under the Eternal Eclipse."

Seraphina grabbed his hand and urged him forward.

"We can't stop! They might spot us," she whispered urgently.

He nodded, and they left the town.

Seraphina and Cedric navigated through the forest. Cedric fondly recalled the hikes with Blunder and his people. Now, they traveled alone.

"Should we make a camp?" he asked.

"No, we'll travel at night. It's safer. By morning, we'll reach our destination," she replied, leading the way, skirting hills and carefully maneuvering through trees and bushes.

"I want to put today behind us. I mean, uhm, what happened between us there," Seraphina said suddenly, her tone serious as she half-turned her head. "Let's forget THAT ever happened and never speak of it again. Never. And by never I mean NEVER! Never, Cedric. This horrible, horrible incident should be forgotten."

"Okay, if that's what you want..."

"No." She abruptly halted, and Cedric almost bumped into her in the dark. "It's not that I just want this, but it's what's necessary! You've made a terrible mistake, Cedric. It's your fault! It's repulsive even to discuss it! But you were correct, life goes on. We need to find a way to move forward. The best option is to put it behind us completely."

Her brown eyes seemed to glow in the darkness. She turned and continued walking straight ahead.

He sighed sadly, recalling her pregnant body from his imagination. "I had my shot and I lost it. I shouldn't think about my pregnant Mom. It's just not right."

They walked all night. It was like their journey would never end.

"I'm exhausted," Seraphina said as dawn neared. Her face glowed softly in the forest light, and they could hear water nearby. Vanilla morning light illuminated their surroundings.

He caught her just as Seraphina almost fell from exhaustion. "Mom?"

"Yes, sorry, dear. Let's set up camp here."

They found a spacious spot among the trees and set up small tents. His mother kept getting distracted, gazing at the sky and listening to the water.

"Today the light is just like when you were born, Cedric. I always recognized it and remembered it for life. It's a sign from the Gods, they watch and approve of what we're doing."

"Uh-huh," Cedric nodded weakly. "You better eat, you're hungry."

He handed her some food and she sat down entranced. She didn't look particularly tired. His Mom stayed silent, seemingly too preoccupied by the light from the morning sun.

"Mom, do we kill anyone who disagrees or doesn't want to join our empire?"

She looked up at him, a slight sadness reflected in her eyes. And tiredness. "You're an adult now, Cedric. I'll be honest. I'm not the one who has to answer that question. I'm sorry."

"At least, thank you for being honest." Cedric silently continued eating while Seraphina listened to the forest.

"I like this sound, water," she said, looking at him with a warm smile. "You know what I need right now to wash away my tiredness."

"Just be careful, Mom."

She picked up her things and walked off in the direction of the sounds.

He tried to eat, but he couldn't think of anything else but her nude sexy body. Cedric got a twitch at the mere memory of being inside her, how beautiful her pussy was. Her boobs were so firm and perfect when he touched them.

"This is wrong... I know I wanted it but... No, I shouldn't be thinking about this. I have more important stuff to do and think about. Enough!"

He ate, but he didn't see the food, he saw just his Mom. Her big voluminous breasts and nipples whose taste he couldn't forget, her firm tight ass and pussy, his birthplace.

He sat in silence, looking into nowhere. There was a fierce battle going on inside.

"What's wrong if I just watch?"

Seraphina splashed water on her face. It was a warm river which was rare here, on the cold north. A nearby small waterfall added to the pleasant surroundings, and from here, she could see the sky framed by pinkish clouds.

Her body relaxed, and her thoughts finally fell into place. "Nighttime walks like these aren't for me. I'm too old for this stuff. I'm a mother of two adult children. Gods, when did it happen? Seraphina, when did you become so grown-up?" She sat in the water up to her neck and suddenly recalled what happened in the hut.

"My son penetrated me. Gosh, how could I have let that happen!? Why did I even need that stupid family tree at that exact moment?! I should have dressed first. You're an idiot, Seraphina. Idiot!"

She lifted herself up, running a hand over her sunlit breasts.

"I better stop talking to myself."

Cedric rubbed his tired eyes and moved closer. He stood by the tree, watching the water run down his Seraphina's large breasts. Her fingers touched her wet face, she moved her hair aside, and then rinsed her buttocks with her palms.

He found it hard to breathe from that sight, all the blood rushing down. "She's so stunning."

She made sure no one was around (Cedric hid well) and slipped her hand between the legs, gently running her fingers between pink cheeks. "Mmmm, yeah. The water is too... ugh... warm."

Cedric stepped forward into the green clearing in front of the water, yawning and stretching. It wasn't until he sat down on the grass, stretching his legs out towards the water that Seraphina finally noticed him.

"CEDRIC!" she sat up to her neck in the river.

"I didn't hide behind a tree like I did the last time. Sorry. You made it clear that you don't like being watched from the sneaky side."

She looked puzzled, trying to find the right words. Only her head peeked out of the warm water.

"Can you just leave me alone while I'm here?"

"I don't want to be alone in the woods, Mom. I've seen you naked before, haven't I? And I'm sure you've seen me many times. You can wash up, we have nothing to be ashamed of. I want to look at your boobs."

"What? You-you..." shocked by his audacity, she could hardly find words. "Cedric!"

"What?"

"Do you want me to go out and punch you? You barely survived our last time. Do you want me to do it again?"

"You can try. Come on, Mom. Get out of the water."

"Let me guess. You will be watching me as I do it?"

He didn't answer.

"Alright," she stood up confidently, narrowing her eyes as she gazed at him. Seraphina emerged from the water with a queen's grace, moving towards Cedric. Her glistening wet body shone in the sunlight with a divine allure.

"Unbelievable. How could I have spent so many years peeping at silly maids and never noticed how beautiful my mother was."

She quirked an eyebrow as she walked over to her things, that were lying just beside him.

Water from her body dripped onto Cedric. She used a towel to dry her hair, boobs and nipples.

"Did you enjoy the show?"

He stood up and put his hands on her wet waist. "You're gorgeous, Mom."

"What are you doing, Cedric? Let me get dressed," she sighed. He didn't understand how, but her grip suddenly tightened around his finger.

"Cedric, let me go," she said, squeezing his finger tightly. It hurt a little, but then he remembered how sometimes pain in such things could slightly intensify pleasure. He kissed her wet lips and pushed her on the grass. "C-hmmm-edr-ic!"

Cedric suppressed a groan when something snapped. She broke his finger. But that didn't stop him. He pounced on her like a beast, unable to restrain himself.

"I'm tired of pretending, Mom."

"No! Cedric! Don't, honey! We shouldn't"

He pulled down his pants and strode in. He penetrated her, tip first, but nothing could stop him. He pushed all the way in and her sweet insides welcomed him gladly.

"Ughhhhh, Cedric! NOT AGAIN!"

It was beyond blissful. Her wet pink insides squeezed with the full force of her inner muscles. He was ready to finish right away. "Ughhhh. Mom. I know you've been hungry for a man for a long time. You need it too."

She grabbed him by the throat. "Don't...don't you dare move your hips, Cedric. Stop!"

His cock twitched inside her tight pussy, reaching all the way in. Cedric couldn't hear what she was saying anymore. He barely swallowed, his balls shuddering as they rested against her butt, and at that moment he pulled his cock out sharply and slammed with all his might against her.

She moaned, and her fingers cut the skin on Cedric's neck to the point of bleeding. Her son took a more comfortable position, getting his feet on the grass, and continued. He entered, thrust after thrust, his hands exploring her body, her belly, squeezing her breasts.

"Agghhhhhh, CEDRIC!!!" She trembled under his frantic strokes, her moans changing to screams with each powerful thrust.

It was madness, but such insanely good madness.

Her vagina engulfed his cock with each entry, greedily embracing and taking him into her abode. Every thrust, every entry was like the first time. "Yes, yes, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughhh, Mom. Yes!"

He squeezed her nipples. Seraphina no longer resisted. Her claws detached from his neck. She moaned, closing the eyes as if under a spell while her son's hips battered her body.

"Ughhh, fuuuck, yes. Mom. Take it..ghhh... Oooooohhh!!!!"

"How did I let it happen." She mumbled. "It's so good."

He took a more comfortable position stopping for a second and then immediately slamming into her again, rushing into her vagina with all his speed. The thrust even made his balls hit her ass painfully.

There was no rhythm. Just a pure animalistic insane fuck.

He slid in and out, tearing her surprisingly tight cunt from the inside out. His tip touched the end of her insides with each plunge, exactly where he had come from. It was a perfect pussy.

Her wet breasts shook with each powerful thrust, and a moan escaped his lungs. It was getting harder and harder to continue, his legs no longer obeying him. The euphoria too clouded his mind.

"Mmmmmmmmm, yes, oh Gods. Give me the strength to endure this." Seraphina closed her eyes, moaning with each thrust and resting her hands on his chest. It was her mind's last desperate attempt to fight back in any way.

Occasionally she opened her eyes, staring into Cedric's pleasure-crazed face. Her little Cedric was a true man now.

"Ughh, ughhh, Fuuuuck, Mom. I can't believe we are doing it." He grabbed her by the hair and pressed his forehead against hers. His fingers tightly gripped her brown locks. "I want you to look at me... Ohh...."

He stopped and entered sharply, then again and again, picking up the rhythm anew. His whole body shook with searing pleasure. Waves of euphoria washed over his head. Damn. What could be better than this? Fucking your own mother.

"You deserve it after everything that's happened."

He had to stop when the air in his lungs suddenly ran out. His cock twitched inside several times, releasing streams of whitish liquid, pre-cum. The embrace of her pinkish-red cheeks clenched his cock to the point of madness, squeezing the blood.

"Stop, Cedric. Please pull it out..." whispered Seraphina, lying on her back. Her chest heaving after each deep breath.

Sweat dripped down his face. He moved his hips backwards, it was so hard to pull his cock out of the grip of her insides.

Seraphina had no sooner rejoiced at the possible end to this insanity when Cedric, barely had his tip left her vagina, immediately entered again. And then again and again and again.

He fucked her even harder, even deeper than before.

"I want to do it inside. I'll do it inside," he squeezed her even harder by the hair, but she grabbed his face.

"No, Cedric. You must still have the rudiments of consciousness in you to undestand....ughh...you can't finish inside. Don't." She looked into his eyes and vigirously kissed him like he was her husband.

He savoured the kiss, pushing mouth inside her delicious mouth. His hips continued to work vigorously, ripping into mother's vagina.

"Yeah, I can't do it inside. It's too wrong"

He moved like crazy, he panted out, greedily gulping air between kisses, but he kept fucking her anyway.

He was so close. "I love you, Mom. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHH!"

"I know, Cedric. I know... Ohhhh, come on." She shook again.

Cedric almost choked when the final thrust ended it all. He entered in and the ground disappeared from his feet. "Ughhhh.....Mooooooom!!!!."

"Cedric!" Her eyes widened and she pushed into his chest.

His mind twitched and when the first drop entered her vagina, he pulled his cock out and exploded. Streams of white fluid spurted out onto her pubic hair and stomach. He held back a scream as he looked at her breasts and face. "Fuuuuuckk, ughhhhh!!!"

A sword struck his head, his breath caught. It felt so good, so unbelievably good. All his insides and muscles clenched as if from a blow. And then the wave gradually subsided and all that was left was love. Love for his mother.

Seraphina breathed a sigh of relief, lifting her arms and laying her head on top of clothes and bags. He kept finishing on her, her own son cumming all over her body. That's can't be happening. But it felt too good to think about the consequences of what they have done. The nature norms they have broken. Cedric kept cumming, guiding the cock at her while his face changed one expression after another. Finally he lay down next to her in the grass.

Seraphina was silent, unable to say anything. Cedric was right, she needed a man. And now her body was thanking her for that gift. But that man was her own son.

Although, strangely enough, her vagina was a little sore. That had never happened after all the times with Arik.

"I love you, Mom."
