Mortal Longings ((Full))

[Dreaming_Drifter]

Iona

Iona reluctantly pulled back and sat up when she heard the others return, helping Mari into a sitting position before turning to listen to Persephone. She gasped in disbelief when she heard that they were both to be immortal goddesses and smiled a bit nervously at Mari's mother's barely-veiled threat. "Don't worry, I plan to," she said softly, wrapping an arm around Mari's waist. "So... Aphrodite's palace is yours now, huh?" she questioned meaningfully, smiling at Mari.

Iona

Iona sighed in frustration at the thought of the men who had tried on several occasions to take advantage of both of them. "If only there was a way we could follow in the footsteps of Artemis, Athena, and Hestia.... Become maiden goddesses forever and therefore be untouchable by mortal or god. But I don't think we'd be allowed to do that, since we're together." Iona looked hesitantly at the two older gods, her father and Mari's mother, for confirmation.

Iona

Iona stared at Leirivious until he wandered off, her jaw slightly dropped in disbelief. She glanced at Mari and raised her eyebrows. "Did you um... Did you know your three-headed puppy could talk? News to me..."

 

[Dreaming_Drifter]

Iona smiled at Mari and reached over to run a hand over her hair, squeaking in surprise and drawing back when she realized that her clothing had changed too. She looked down at her hair and was relieved to see that it was still black and long. But her nice, simple clothes were replaced by things she never would have been brave enough to pick out on her own. She could even tell that she was wearing makeup for the first time in her life. Her signature dagger was still strapped to her thigh, along with a whole other host of concealed weapons she hadn't had a use for before now. She blushed when she saw Mari looking at her and struggled to adjust the loose top so that it covered her chest better. "You look great, Mari... Wish I could say I thought the same of my new wardrobe..."

Iona squirmed and blushed, closing her hands around Mari's wrists. "Nnn... A-Agreed... I vote we go celebrate our new forms in your new palace, though, rather than out here where anyone can see." Iona was glad too that they didn't have to be maidens, but truth be told she was terrified of what Ares, Poseidon, Zeus, and other wicked hearted gods might try. Both she and Mari looked more seductive now, even if their personalities hadn't changed, and she was sure that would up their lust compulsions.

Iona smiled and nodded. "My father's throne wasn't very comfy looking either.... I prefer your style, Mari." She blushed and wrapped her arms around her lover, kissing her back gently. Her heart was pounding as if it would come out of her chest; she didn't know that she'd ever felt so nervous or excited in her life.

Eris

Eris giggled to herself as she finished placing the fabricated evidence around the goddess of love's palace. Her long black hair shifted as if blown about by a heavy wind, even though she was indoors. 'Soon, very soon there shall be chaos... And fighting, lovely bloody battles... And crying, yes, I shall make the innocent one weep... Lord Ares will be so pleased with me, and her tears will taste so sweet...' Eris was intoxicated with the task before her.

Ares, her master, had ordered her to make it seem like the new protection goddess was being unfaithful to the goddess of love. Then, while the two were divided, Eris would ravish Iona and Ares would ravish Mari. Eris had seen both goddesses a few times during their first few months as immortals, and liked what she saw, especially in Iona. The girl was shy, blushed easily, and looked so soft and breakable...

Eris giggled again in a rather unstable tone and hid herself away in a closet, waiting for Iona to come home so she could put her plan in motion.

Iona

Iona sighed softly to herself as she entered her and Mari's palace after a long day of politics. Being a new goddess had its perks, such as immortality, but it was days like this that made it seem like so much more trouble than it was worth. Thankfully, the thought of Mari coming home soon cheered her up.

She got a bottle of water out of the refrigerator and took a few sips before walking to the bedroom she and her lover shared, sitting on the bed with a small smile. Within a few seconds, though, Iona began to feel a bit dizzy. She frowned and put a hand to her forehead. No fever... But still she felt dizzy and her thoughts were growing dim... 'Could I be getting sick?'

Eris

Eris watched gleefully as her plot unfolded exactly as she'd planned. She waited until Iona was shaking to step out of the closet and stand before the girl. "You know," she said casually, taking the bottle of water from the girl and screwing the cap on as she set it aside. "Those 'do not consume if seal is broken' warnings are there for a reason, Iona... You would do well to heed such things."

Eris pushed the now-weak girl over, tugging off her sweater. "Hmm.... We need to make this look convincing... Just a moment, dear." Eris took the weakly protesting girl's tight jeans off with a jerk and retraced her steps to the entrance of the palace, dropping the sweater near the entrance and the pants a bit closer to the bedroom. She took off her own top and dropped it right in front of the door before re-entering the bedroom and closing the door behind her.

"There, now, that should make your little Mari nice and curious. How careless of us to leave our clothes where she could see them... But of course, you and I were so wrapped up in passion we were robbed of our senses..." Eris crooned almost gently as she laid down on top of the whimpering girl. "Don't worry, pet, I've taken care of everything... You just need to lay there and look pretty." She gripped Iona's chin in her hand and kissed her forcefully, pressing their bodies together.
