Into the Caverns Part Four: Miraculous Restoration

Hey Guys! So, last part of this storyline here. I expect to be a bit more active here, because I won't be going out much. BUT, I still have a lot to work on. So, except me to be reasonable. 

Speaking of reasonable, I feel obligated to ask everyone, to stay level headed and reasonable in these trying times. You don't need to overstock yourselves up. At least not yet. I know not everyone is doing this, but if you are, I ask you to please stop and be think it through. Be reasonable and leave something for your fellow citizens as well. I'm working at a supermarket right now, and it's absurd how chaotic it is. And if not for them, for the workers themselves. Panic-buying puts a strain on everyone else, and it's not that bad right now. I know and understand the worry, but don't panic. We'll all get through this together, just be safe and smart. And most importantly, kind. No one's feeling comfortable now, so we need to do our best to be understanding and helpful. In times like these, we need to help each other and lend a hand, whenever we can. These are the moments that matter. 

/Rant Over

Now, in regards to what's coming next. I WILL publish the next TWO parts of Camp Hardwood together, whenever I publish them (soon. I promise you.), and then after that, I'll probably introduce a new story-line, and then figure it out after that. I'm still working on the ending of the Camp, and it's taking awhile, because the last day is very long and there's a lot I want to do. I'm working at it, and it's coming. Everything else is mostly settled in, I just have to work on the last day, and I didn't want to publish anything more until I finished that. But, things have changed, and I want to give you guys something to pull you along. This isn't a dead blog. 

So, end of update. I hope you guys are all okay and feeling reasonable. Stay healthy and aware. And kind. 

Enjoy yourselves ;)

Part One: Cedric and Thomas

Part Two: Abysmal Voyage into the Deep

Part Three: Juicing the Magic Makers

Cedric was standing in front of The Elder's, breathing out slowly and surprisingly recovering well from the ball-abuse he's received. The Elders were impressed and curious as they watched the young, fit warrior as he stood with one hand holding his sack, and the other over his stomach. The Elders waited, as Cedric boiled in his thoughts and distress. 

Cedric did not have the time to be in disbelief anymore. The reality of what has been said was too groundbreaking. They talked about his seed, or his semen, as they called it. It was disturbing to think the thought of being drained by these demons. Cedric could not help but shiver as he thought of all the generations that must’ve felt the cold wraith of these demons. All the pain that must’ve been caused, all the pools of semen that stain the floors of these caves. The unborn youth that were wasted, shot into the very floor he stood on. All in the name of more power. All to rush the growth of magical Seguarium in these deep, dark Caverns. 

It sickened Cedric to think about, and it filled him with a combination of fear and hostility. These demons are twisted and need to be stopped.

“Fight, Male!”

Cedric looked up, and saw the Guardian standing in front of him. The Guardian was still, staring forward, and Cedric knew that this was it. He had no more time to waste. 

Cedric yelled out, and went to attack The Guardian before the inarguable more powerful Guardian was able to strike first. Cedric kicked The Guardian in its lower leg in an attempt to catch The Guardian off balance. The Guardian’s leg shifted slightly, but stood true. It was too sturdy. Cedric didn’t waste any time, despite the disappointing result. He swung his leg and tried to kick The Guardian once more, but was caught. The Guardian grabbed Cedric by his ankle, and Cedric instantly realized that this was not good.

The exact instant in which Cedric realized his mistake, he was punished for his mistake. With surprising swiftness, but expected devastation, The Guardian’s bony foot slammed into Cedric’s crotch and flattened the two swollen orbs between his legs. The echo of the smack was musical to the ears of all Eldritches in the area. This was the first time since before their slumber took place, that they were able to hear this comforting noise. The noise of nature being used to further their community. The noise of a human male being one step closer towards fertilizing their farms.

The instant Cedric felt the kick connect directly with his supple testicles, Cedric lost all power within him to commit further. Effortlessly, Cedric collapsed to the ground and brought both of his hands to his abused orbs. His testicles once again became his entire world, incapable of any thoughts other than those surrounding his screaming testicles. Cedric’s eyes were glazed, his mouth wide open in confused panic, and his body squirmed naturally, like a bug.

The Elder’s and Guardian heard low, groveling whimpers vibrate from Cedric’s lips. Some of them sounded like “My balls… my balls…”, other’s sounded like “Maker please…” and other’s were dry heaves, that sounded as dire as Cedric’s own eyes looked. The Elder’s appreciated this reaction and noted how genuine and distressed it is. They know that they get the best batches of fertilizer when the Male is abused, much like how this one is. They were very hopeful and enthralled. There is nothing as easy to appreciate as a human in such an entertaining, and provoking state. 

The Elders also knew that it would take any male many more minutes before the Male would be able to stand up after a strike like that one. Most males wouldn’t be able to get up by the hours end. They expected much more time to appreciate the performance the Male had no choice but to put forward.

But, they were proven wrong. Within a couple minutes of Cedric’s initial collapse, they could see him regain his senses. His expressions indicated that this Male’s recovery was insanely ahead of schedule, and The Elder’s grew in amazement. Cedric was able to get onto his knees and regulate his breathing. His recovery shorted before he was fully capable again. However, considering his very swollen testicles received a direct kick by arguably the strongest force in nature. He was in very good shape, a couple minutes removed from impact.

“Impossible…”

“Have humans evolved since our slumber?”

“No, that’s impossible. We haven’t slumbered anywhere near long enough to expect such advanced adaptations.”

“He was crippled before! How is he not now?”

Cedric heard none of these remarks, as they were not spoken aloud. But, he could sense amazement as he recovered on his knees. Even Cedric himself was impressed with his own recovery. He almost couldn’t believe it, despite it being very real. He wondered if he’s been abused so much, that he’s grown used to it.

“Rise, Male. Continue your battle.”

Cedric slowly rose, but still had to fight against the very present sense of agony in his lower body as he stretched out. Cedric kept a closed fist over his dangling manhood, and the other clenched forward, ready to duel with the unmoving Guardian.

The Elder’s watched in fascination as the Male specimen swayed with far more grace than what nature has led them to believe is possible so soon after a perfect shot at his babymakers. Cedric was very much composed and learned his lesson. Cedric has gained confidence in his recovery capabilities but knows that he has no intentions to leave his vulnerability open for such an immediately devastating attack.

Cedric waited for The Guardian to strike this time, not willing to make a mistake. The Guardian pushed its inner hand out towards Cedric’s face, but Cedric dodged out of the way and took a step back. Cedric felt his stomach dive, despite dodging the attack. Being so close to such an abomination is terrifying, and Cedric could not forget how vile they are. Simply being close enough to see it’s bony ligaments fly through the air, is far too close for comfort. But, Cedric knows he has to stay true and fight back.

Cedric dodged another swipe from the monster and grew some confidence. Another attack was thrown, this one a kick from the demon, but Cedric backed up just in time. Cedric rushed in and kicked low again, making contact with The Eldritch’s sturdy yet remarkably bony leg, then backed up. Cedric stayed swaying, a fist still over his crotch, and the other ready to swing as he continued to study The Eldritch’s composition. The hooded demon’s eyes grew dark blue, and Cedric’s body tensed.

“This will be a long battle, if you continue like this, Male.”

Cedric smirked and felt himself loosen up. He felt confident that he was getting under The Guardian’s skin, and soon he’ll be able to do more. The Guardian went for a high strike once more, but Cedric dodged and went in for an attack. It was a quick one, but it was important. Cedric pushed in and had his open palm smack the side of The Eldritch’s face, creating an echo in the room. The room was quiet except for the echo, and Cedric backed up with a stronger smirk on his face. The Guardian and Elder’s could see that Cedric’s bravado was filling up inside him now.

“How about that? Want more of that, or back to leg kicks?” Cedric joked, and could’ve sworn he heard a reaction to his side. He turned up towards the rafters, but saw nothing there. That distraction was all The Guardian needed.

The Guardian went for a low kick of it’s own, and it’s lanky tree trunk of a leg, slammed into Cedric’s. The kick buckled the young man, and he almost fell to the knee. As Cedric cursed under his breath, he tried to back up, but saw a strike rushing through him at the same time. Cedric couldn’t dodge it, and the strike thundered into his chest. Cedric fell back with force, and was stunned as he hit the floor.

Cedric looked up as he saw The Guardian slam his leg towards his lower half, and instantly knew what was coming. Cedric tried to pull his body back, in fear of his testicles getting slammed between The Eldritch’s bony foot and the cold, stone floor. Thankfully, Cedric’s testicles did not pancake under the pressure, and he was saved just in time. Cedric wasted no time, despite the terrifyingly close disaster. Cedric flipped his legs over, and was able to have both legs on either side of The Guardian. With all the power in him, Cedric pulled with one foot and pushed with the other on The Guardian’s foot, hoping to cause the beast to fall over. Cedric instantly realized it was futile and abandoned this attempt. 

Cedric flipped over, lying on his back and tried to get up. But The Guardian did not dally, and stayed on the attack. The Guardian put his foot on the Male’s ankle, not letting Cedric rise. Cedric cried and whined at the pressure and situation, but did not give in. As The Guardian bent over to grab a hold of the Male, Cedric grabbed a hold of The Eldritch first. 

Cedric grabbed onto it’s rags, and pushed his foot into it’s midsection once more. Cedric tried to flip the Eldritch over, and did so with surprising ease. The Guardian did not expect this and was flipped onto it’s back, slamming into the floor with a thud. Cedric took this opportunity to rise up and recalibrate. Cedric saw the Eldritch on the floor, and rose his foot and aimed it straight down onto The Eldritch’s head.

The Guardian’s head stayed true, but Cedric felt that this attack was more successful than the previous ones, and did it once more. This time, the stomp created some sense of give under it’s soles, and Cedric felt invigorated. He lifted his foot once more and went to stomp, but The Guardian caught it. The Guardian grabbed onto Cedric’s big toe, and the second smallest one on the other side, and pulled them apart with sadistic power. Cedric screamed out and tried to pull back, but The Guardian held onto his injured foot.

Cedric struggled, but was no match for The Guardian’s strength. The Guardian pulled his foot in further, causing Cedric to almost split at the legs, but he put his hands to the floor first, to avoid the scenario. However, he was left wide open, and he had no chance.

Cedric realized that he left himself open, and instantly felt his delicate globes get crushed once more. The Guardian’s closed fist slammed up into Cedric’s bony pelvis, crushing his already tender nuts again. Cedric crumbled, and fell to a knee as he felt this pain take over his system. The Guardian slammed a fist into Cedric’s stomach, forcing the rest of the wind out of the young man, and forcing Cedric onto his back. Cedric’s face was red and held his hands over abdomen as the pain found new heights. Cedric couldn’t breath and couldn’t move.

Then, Cedric felt his body forced onto his back, and his legs and arms spread on the floor. Cedric didn’t understand what was happening, but then felt his flaccid cock raise off and be held straight up. His balls then began to stretch to their maximum, and this contact irritated Cedric even further. He was stirred from his weary state, and panic began to run him over.

“No! Please, no, please!

“Guardian. Stomp on the Specimen’s testicles. But, do not rupture them. We need his semen.”

The Guardian rose and positioned himself in front of Cedric’s prone, crippled and completely vulnerable body. Cedric shook his head in absolute terror as he saw The Guardian approach his body. Cedric looked down and saw his dick standing straight, and his balls being pulled down in their sack. They had nowhere to go.

“No, no! Please, no, I beg you! My sack, it’ll burst! I can’t take it, by the Maker, please!” Cedric begged, with his eyes already full. Cedric knew it was hopeless.

The Guardian stopped right in front of Cedric’s testicles, lied flat out, right in front. Those two perfectly shaped eggs lied helplessly and The Guardian knew what had to happen. He had to flatten the eggs, but make sure that they’re not totally cracked under the pressure. The Guardian looked forward to this, and the Male’s pleading only made The Guardian know that what will come will be even more fulfilling. There’s nothing like quelling the angst of a Male, by stomping down on their own manliness.

The Guardian lifted its leg with prideful determination, and slammed the heel of its foot, piercing through Cedric’s big, dense but painfully malleable ball as it was stretched to the maximum in its red sack. The Guardian’s heel dug in deep, made direct contact with the hard center of Cedric’s left testicle, and slammed it right into the ground. The rest of Cedric’s testicle bulged up, almost trying to hug over The Guardian’s cold foot.

Cedric screamed out a terribly guttural and tortured scream, as his body tensed in total agony. The Elder’s struggled to restrain this burst of energy, but did nothing to stop his animalistic scream. They watched him writhe under the constraints and gag on his back. The Elder’s realized what was coming next, and let him go. Cedric was able to curl over and vomit on over the floor. The Elder’s did not want Cedric to choke on his own vomit.

Cedric, barely conscious, rested his head next to his own vomit and continued to barely exist through the incomprehensible pain. There was nothing he could do but let it all happen. Take in the disgusting smell of his own bile, live with the agony that his testicles were pulsating throughout his taut, beautiful body. And pray to the Maker that He’ll let him die right then and there, and save him from this experience. No human deserves to feel such hopeless agony. It’s revolting, traumatic and completely debilitating. 

Everyone watched Cedric’s hopeless frame on the floor, noting every instance of movement or sound that came from his powerful, but pathetically ravaged body. The pain the young man was experiencing was putrid and ripe, and all of The Eldritches were appreciating the situation they were in. The Elders knew that the moment was very close.

However, once more, it became clear that Cedric was not to be sidelined from this debilitating assault. Although the assault was obviously more intense, it feels as if Cedric almost recovered faster this time. He rolled away from his vomit, got to his knees and his breathing was growing softer and more confident. Awe filled the room once more.

“That… was cheating.”

“Silence, Male!”

The Elder’s lifted Cedric once more, and sprawled him out as they brought him closer to them. The Elder’s looked over his perfect body and searched for any human abnormalities. They turned him around, flipped him over, touched and investigated every inch of his frame, and even inside him too. Cedric reacted fiercely at this, but he had no control. The Elder’s ignored his curses and continued to search for something that explains this.

“Fade off!? Why are you-”

“What is your secret, Male?”

“Secret!? What secret!?”

“The one that allows you to recover so quickly! Never, in our history, has a man recovered as quickly as you.”

“You haven’t seen a man like me before!” Cedric spat out, mostly unsure what to say. He didn’t know how this was happening either, but he wasn’t going to tell The Elder’s that.

“Apparently so…”

“This means we must extract from him at once. Perhaps his semen is special too.”

“Yes, you are right.”

With that, Cedric felt his balls get pulled to the bottom of his sack, and his cock was held firmly. Cedric squirmed and grunted painfully, but there was nothing he could do except grimace like it means something.

Then, Cedric felt his meat getting rubbed, and he began to understand what was happening. Cedric started to struggle in the telekinetic grip of The Elder’s.

“What are you doing!? Stop it, you scum!”

“We are doing what we told you had to happen, Male. Be quiet.”

“Quiet!? I’m not going to be quiet as you AHHH BLAST ME! MAH BAAALLLSS!!! AHHH!”

Cedric cried out, as The Elder’s twisted his nuts mercilessly. Cedric's eyes rolled as he tried to shake in terror.

“MMmmmm… stop, please! I’m sorry!”

With that, Cedric’s nuts were released, and a sigh of relief came out of the constrained young man. His penis was still being pleasured, and it left Cedric feeling confused, and of course, abused. Cedric wanted this to stop. 

Then, he felt a familiar pressure on his sore testicles, and it caused him to grunt. But, the touch showed itself to not be hostile. It tried to massage Cedric’s testicles, but they were still so sore, any contact caused him further distress. But, it didn’t stop The Elders. 

Moreso, Cedric felt a pressure focus in, up the dark hole between his legs. Cedric spasamed and shook, but the pressure continued. Frighteningly, the pressure began to do something pleasant, and Cedric's whined distresses, melted into flutters of ecstasy. 

And with Cedric’s cock continuing to receive attention, it began to grow. Cedric had no way to stop it. 

“Please, stop! This is really uncomfortable!”

“Male. We said be quiet.”

Cedric whimpered and shook his head as the polarizing feelings that are coming from his lower half, made the stud intensely worked up. He felt like he was going to explode and he had to do something.

“Please! Is there anything else I can-”

“Male, if you speak one more time. We will rip your testicles off, and take what we need from the inside. Do you understand?”

Cedric shrieked and shook at the idea of it. He clenched his mouth and eyes shut, and tried to fight the feelings inside him, but there was nothing he could do. Nature was taking its course. His genitals were getting pleasured, an embarrassing pleasure point was being fondled and despite Cedric’s own opinions on the matter, his opinions did not affect the goodness he was feeling. Cedric wished so dearly that he could fight this, that he could control his manhood and not let this happen. But, he was helpless.

Cedric fought as long as he could, but The Elder’s knew exactly what to do, and Cedric was helpless to the nature of his being. Cedric knew what was coming next, and he yelled out in anger and ecstasy.

“Fade! Daaammiiittt!”

Cedric felt his body spasming, and The Elder’s could feel it under their telekinetic fingers. The Elder’s prepared for this, and when the moment came, they squeezed down on Cedric’s testicles like they were fruits to dejuice. Cedric’s scream bellowed out as the potentially breathtaking orgasm was ruined by his sensitive globes getting crushed. His cock was twitching with a swarm that built up from the inside. 

The Elder’s waited for the semen to come out, so they could catch it and use it for their purposes. They continued to wait, and soon realized that nothing was coming out.

“What!? I thought he achieved orgasm? Where is it?”

“Did we squeeze too early? Perhaps we ruined it.”

With that, The Elder’s let go of Cedric’s balls. The pain was unbearable and he was dry heaving. However, his cock was still twitching.

“Let’s not make that mistake again.”

With that, The Elder’s attempted to bring Cedric to orgasm once again. They were more careful and delicate this time with Cedric’s genitals, but not for the comfort of Cedric. Cedric was far too exhausted and defeated to be able to do anything. The pain in his balls was terrible, and his dick felt very sore and swollen.

Soon, The Elder’s knew for certain that his orgasm was on it’s way.

“Do not squeeze until we know for certain that it’s coming out.”

Cedric began to rumble about, and yelled out as his dick twitched as the orgasm ensued. But, once more, nothing came out. Cedric screamed out in pain this time, feeling something hold in his natural juices. It was painful and frustrating.

“Fuck! My cock, it hurts!”

“How is this!?” An Elder said, audibly frustrated.

The Elder’s stood in awe, unsure what to do in this situation. The pain was still rising up in Cedric, hurting more and more with each second. His hard cock was begging for release, but it couldn’t do so. His balls began stinging even more too, and Cedric yelled out tensely. If Cedric had anymore tears to shed, he would’ve been doing so by now.

“We need to get his semen. We must either beat it out of him, or surgically remove it.”

“No! Don’t, please! I need my balls!”

“Male, we do not take pleasure in this. We need your samples, but they’re not coming out.”

“Please! WaAAAHHHHIIIYYYEEEHHAA!”

Cedric’s pent up cock suddenly burst out as a volcano and spurted its substance carelessly and viciously over the room. The Elder’s scrambled to catch it and they were able to get the geyser under control. Cedric’s sticky substance was being held in the air, like a connected stream of webs that grew longer and longer by the moment. At the same time, Cedric’s testicles began to compress once more, and Cedric’s scream broke out, then breathlessly died as his throat was able to scream no more. Cedric’s eyes rolled back, and he passed out. Still breathing, but unconscious. His semen continued to stream out.

“Marvelous!” An Elder cried out in awe and approval.

“This might be the most we’ve ever gotten from one orgasm.”

"It might be best to consider it several, actually. Perhaps."

Soon, the geyser died down, and Cedric’s cock instantly went flaccid and limp. His balls became uncompressed, and he was dropped to the floor carelessly. Cedric plopped lifelessly, and remained unconscious.

“We investigate this immediately. And wake the Male up, he must be awake for this.”

Cedric’s lifeless body was pushed around like a ragdoll for a few moments. His arms were raised and flailed, his legs, the same. It almost looked like this incredibly well built man was absolutely nothing but a child, but that is most obviously not the case. He was far too matured and sculpted to be confused for anything less than a perfectly primed male. 

Cedric was pulled around until he began to stir. Then, he was left alone. A loud groan left his body, and he pulled his hands to his testicles and let out a silent scream as his eyes opened. His mouth was wide and he began to rock around in a nightmare that he was just mercilessly pulled right back into.

“Disappointingly… there appears to be nothing unique about his semen.”

“Impossible! No Male has ever reacted like this before.”

“It does have significantly more sperm than most. He is very fertile, but nothing more.”

“We must conduct more tests.”

The Elder’s waited quietly as Cedric continued to writhe on the floor. They waited for him to recover like he did before, but he did not. For the next few minutes, Cedric rolled on the floor, crying painfully with no tears able to come out. It was sad to watch, but frustrating for The Elders. Why was he not recovering again?

“What is the matter with you, Male. Why are you not recovering!?”

“Elders! I bring news of the boy.”

The Elder’s turned their attention to the returning Guardian and the one who was brought with.

“Guardian, we are currently attending to this specimen.”

“Yes. I apologize Elders. But, we did not find the boy. He has disappeared.”

“Disappeared? Do you think that he may have left the Caverns?”

“Unlikely, sir. We came across the one who was supposed to be on duty in the hall. The Guardian was disintegrated in a freshly made puddle of ash. The boy may have done it sir.”

“The boy? How can that be?”

“The boy did it to The Guardian I was stationed with. He controls magic.”

“Magic? The boy is a mage!?”

“I believe so.”

“And you left him unattended?”

Silence responded before The Guardian did. The Guardian bent his head in shame.

“This is a grave mistake, Elders. My sincerest apologies.”

Tension ate at the room, waiting for a response from The Elders. Suddenly, the guilty Guardian burst into flames. The Guardian beside backed away and watched as his comrade melted into an ashy puddle.

Cedric was on his feet at this point. No one noticed his recovery. But he was paying attention to the conversation, and he knew that they were talking about his brother, Thomas. Cedric stayed quiet, and hoped that they would soon return to him, instead of Thomas.

“The missing boy is a mage. Is it possible that he’s the cause for these abnormalities?”

“It is likely. Be quiet and do not give anything away.”

Silence stuck in the room, and Cedric slowly was able to read the tension and understand that his brother is the focus. He felt a gentle breeze caress his neck from behind, and somehow, he knew it felt familiar. There was no other explanation for what happened here.

Thomas is hiding in the room with him. Cedric knows Thomas can cast an invisibility spell, and can sustain it for a massive amount of time. How Thomas was able to heal his pain, or hold in his orgasm, Cedric had no idea, but it did not matter. Cedric had to smile and look around. He thought about where his brother might be, and his eyes caught onto the rafters. That’s exactly where his little brother would be hiding. It’s where no one else is, and it has a perfect vantage point.

Cedric slowly backed up, towards the rafters, hoping no one would notice. He could not tell if The Elder’s were looking at him or not, but they didn’t stop him nonetheless.

Cedric was careful not to be too obvious, not wanting to give his brother’s potential position away. Then, he felt a very apparent gust of wind rub on his shoulder. Cedric knew then, that Thomas was ready.

“Now!”

Cedric ducked and covered his head looking down. The Elder’s and Guardian looked towards him in confusion. Then, suddenly, a sea of flame spawned and rushed towards them, engulfing them all with the fury of a brother scorned.

The flurry was complemented with a cacophony of dire Eldritch screams. The flames and screeches continued for several moments, until Thomas had no more power left within him. Then, it stopped. The screams and flames continued to roar, devouring the room and all, except for the two brothers.

Soon, the screams in the room ceased, and Cedric began to look up. He saw all of the flames burning where The Elder’s used to be. He slowly walked towards the heat, in absolute awe at the carnage that just spawned out of nowhere.

Then, he heard a thump behind him, and jumped in freight. He turned, ready to fight, but saw no reason to attack.

“Thomas!”

Cedric jumped to Thomas, and Thomas laughed, dropping what was in his hands as his brother’s sweating, naked body jumped into him thoughtlessly. Cedric picked Thomas up, shook him around in absolute joy. Cedric would’ve been crying tears of joy, if he had any tears left in him.

“Thomas, by the Maker what the in the void was that!? You just-”

“Not yet! There’s still all of the other’s to deal with. Look!”

With that, Cedric turned and saw Eldritch’s looking into the room from the community outside. Cedric swallowed in fear, and cowered behind his brother.

Thomas laughed, and pointed to the ground.

“Cedric, your weapon.”

Cedric looked to his brother’s finger, and saw his sword on the ground. Cedric audibly cheered as he picked it up. A part of his body has returned to him, it felt. Cedric felt complete again.

Cedric turned back to Thomas, and saw Thomas crushing a Seguariam. Cedric laughed and nodded his head.

“That’s how you did all of that, huh?”

“Naturally! An entire room of Seguarium! It’s like they’re asking me to disintegrate them with my magic.”

“That’s all I ask of you, brother.” Cedric said, grabbing onto the sword as the remaining Eldritch’s trudged their way towards the two brothers’.

Suddenly, Cedric’s sword grew flames and caused Cedric to jump back in fear.

“Sweet Maker, tell me next time! You could burn my hair right off with this.”

“Sorry! Just excited, is all.”

Cedric laughed at his brother's sudden calmness. Cedric was also surprised at how happy he felt, despite what transpired not more than a handful of minutes ago. 

Together, the brothers turned back to The Eldritches. They were getting closer.

“Shall we, brother?” Cedric asked.

“Of course. Allow me to initiate. Don’t worry, I’ll leave something for you to do.”

With that, Thomas lead the charge, and stood in front of his big brother. With his staff, helping him harness the magic within him, Thomas created a whirlwind of flame and fostered it, as it grew and grew. The Eldritches in front, stayed still, knowing that if they walk into it, they will burn and never reach the brothers.

Suddenly, a noise was heard and a pair of burning blue eyes lit up.

“Fall back!”

The Eldritch’s turned around in fear, but it was too late. Thomas sent the tsunami of flame forward, devouring the Eldritches completely, eliciting arpeggios of screams from the horde of Eldritches. The flame continued to flow forward even after Thomas blasted it away. Thomas fell to a knee in exhaustion, but pulled out another Seguarium to recharge.

“You’ve hardly left me anything to do brother.”

“Well… go find something before I do.”

Cedric laughed and sprinted forward, towards the burning piles of ashes. However, the floor was quite hot, and Cedric screamed out as his feet touched where the flames just were. He instantly hopped back and cried out, rubbing the bottoms of his feet in dire need of comfort.

“Ha! Apologies, allow me to adjust the temperature.” Thomas said, as he sent a gust of cold wind rush over the floor he just scorched. He held the spell for a healthy amount of time, then let it die. Thomas walked forward first just to make sure, and felt that it was okay. There was still heat, but it wasn’t burning.

“Let’s go. The remaining demons aren’t going to melt themselves.”

“Fade off! The floor is burning, and I’ve been through a lot.”

“I’ve cooled it off, come on! Do you want me to kill them all myself?”

“No, obviously not! Not after all they’ve done to me.”

“Then let’s go brother. Go get your revenge! And if you do it without me needing to bail you out, I won’t tell anyone that I had to save you.”

“Like they’d believe you, anyways.”

“A mage saving the day? Preposterous!”

Cedric laughed and picked back up his flaming sword. Carefully, he walked onto the floor, just to confirm its lack of heat. It seemed so, and Cedric was naturally relieved. Thomas watched his brother as he made his way forward. Thomas found great comfort in this scene, even with his brother being stark naked with a short sword in his hand.

Slowly, they made it to the door, and peeked around to see where the remaining Eldritches were. They were scattered, but there weren’t that many left. Not much more than 10, which did not feel like that much, considering there the thriving city that was buzzing no more than an hour ago.

“To the void with you, you blasted demons!” Cedric hollered as he ran to the closest Eldritch and attacked. The Eldritch stood no chance as the flaming blade sliced through, cutting the Eldritch in twain. Thomas stood by, and used his magic to slam the already dealt with Eldritch back against the wall, confirming that it won’t be able to fight back. The sliced wound was heated enough due to the flamed blade to continue to melt through the Eldritch. Only one healthy swipe of the empowered sword was enough to seal The Eldritch's fate. 

Thomas struggled to keep up with Cedric as rushed forward into two more, and swung it through both of their heads. Thomas slammed The Eldritches to the floor, collapsing them as Cedric turned around with a loud, explosive

“WOOOOOO!”

Cedric ran forward once more, this time taking on three Eldritches. Thomas wasted no time and realized that he had to aid in his brother’s bravado.

Cedric went to swipe the first one in half, and did so with effortless grace. The naked specimen carried his energy over and used it to stab into the other one. Cedric pulled it out quickly, then turned to the final Eldritch in his view. However, this time, it did not go as smoothly for Cedric.

The Eldritch knew the strike that was coming, and barely moved out of the way of the speedy, flaming attack. Cedric realized that he may have gotten too cocky as he missed this attack, and tried to reassess, but he could not do so in time. The Eldritch grabbed onto Cedric’s arm and lifted the powerful man into the air. Cedric cried out, but his sword was in the raised hand and had no control over it.

Suddenly, The Eldritch raised his knee and smashed it into Cedric’s testicles, smashing them between its bony knee cap and Cedric’s now bruised pelvis. Cedric’s eyes crossed and he hacked in frightened distress. His hands went wide open and his free one was pulled into his lower abdomen in fear. The other one let go of the sword, which luckily pierced through The Eldritch’s head. The Eldritch let go of Cedric and fell down in one swift motion. Cedric fell down with the demon, and curled up in agony, as his sensitive testicles were once again abused.

“My bollocks… always my bleeding bollocks… I’m about to throw up again.” Cedric sickly groaned, as he rolled away from the flaming ashes next to him. Cedric coughed and curled up further.

Thomas grimaced when he saw his brother’s folly. The pain was something that Thomas could feel, and knew that it was terrible. Although it was quite painful and unfortunate, Thomas couldn’t help but laugh as he saw his brother roll over, after knowing the Eldritch was defeated. He knows that he’ll be able to heal him later anyways.

“Hmmm… maybe he should stay like that for a bit. Maybe he’ll learn something.” Thomas laughed, as he turned towards the remaining Eldritches. They were closer than they were before, and Thomas had no time to waste. He looked at Cedric’s flaming sword and picked it up telekinetically. He held it out long ways, then swiped it across in a line in front of him, cutting several Eldritches in half within moments. Thomas lifted the sword up, and watched as the Eldritches fell over and melted into ash. Thomas smirked and looked around once more.

However, Thomas did not see the sole remaining Eldritch. By the time Thomas turned towards it, The Eldritch was already far too close for comfort.

“Maker!” Thomas screamed as he tried to pull the sword down towards The Eldritch. However, The Eldritch struck first, knowing that it is the only remaining hope for their people. 

The Eldritch’s foot smacked into Thomas’s silk covered crotch at lightning speed and raised the young mage off his feet. Thomas cried out, sending the flying sword through the air, landing far off target. Thomas fell to his knees in a huff, and his eyes teared up as the pain got increasingly worse. His hands were covering his balls with shaking fear, but he knew he could not respite. Thomas tried to pull himself away, but he was too weak despite his best efforts. The Eldritch raised Thomas up by the robes and slammed him back first onto the floor. 

Thomas was jarred and lied, battered and disordered on the floor. The Eldritch wasted no further time, and slammed it’s heel down onto the mushy mound between Thomas’s legs. 

Thomas screamed out a shrill, piercing scream as he felt his left testicle get drilled into by an inhuman foot. The pressure was immense and it felt as if his nut was broken under the attack. His legs, arms and head all shot up as he felt the pain and fear explode even further. Then, The Eldritch increased the pressure and Thomas undeniably felt and heard something break, which sent him into hysterics. The Eldritch twisted its heel and Thomas began to choke as he fell back, flat on the ground. Grounded by the sheer weight of the agony that was just forced onto him. Thomas’s eyes rolled back as he hacked out hoarsely, incapable of further movements. The Eldritch was satisfied and pushed off Thomas’s crotch, allowing Thomas to weakly creep his hands to his broken balls.

When Thomas felt his balls, he knew something was wrong. One was regular sized, but the other was much more mushed up and it felt like another full force kick just to touch it. The pain shook his frame, literally, and he curled up, scared to touch himself any further. Thomas was seething on the floor, breathing harshly with tears flowing out. Thomas knows that this is not good, but was helpless against it. 

Cedric was curled up, and rolling gently as he tried to handle the agony he’s in. He did not feel the need to open his eyes, believing that his brother had this handled. He dealt with the rest of them with such ease.

But then, he heard his brother shrill scream and he had to open his eyes. He saw The Eldritch stepping down onto his brother’s crotch.

“No! Thomas!” Cedric cried out, as he tried to get up. The pain in his crotch stumbled him back to the floor for a moment. But he powered through and stood up. When he got up, he saw The Eldritch lumbering towards him.

With the purest form of fury, Cedric screamed and threw a powerful punch at the head of the oncoming Eldritch, who thought nothing of it when in flight. But when it connected, it sent the demon back a couple steps, dazing the demon for a moment. Cedric screamed again, and sent another punch at the demon, and followed it up with another, this one lower. The next one was higher, and Cedric’s onslaught rained down on The Eldritch.

However, The Eldritch was too powerful to be truly affected by simple rage-fueled punches from a human. The Eldritch shot its hand in, and grasped Cedric’s completely vulnerable testicles, once more showing to Cedric that his weakness is far too open.

Cedric yelped out and grabbed The Eldritch’s wrist, trying to pry it away, but The Eldritch only increased in pressure. Cedric screamed louder, trying to fight his way out in every conceivable fashion, using every part of his body. But it only exhausted the young man, and a simple twist of his cherries sent him down to his knees, just to be pulled back up by the monster who did not want to bend over.

“Foolish human. Your confidence is your downfall, once again. You’ve killed all of my people with ease, but I survive through your weakness.”

Cedric found it increasingly difficult to focus. The pain was getting worse and worse, his testicles have been through so much, and even with Thomas' help, they’re still in bad shape. The Eldritch twisted and collapsed its hand even further, and Cedric yelped out pathetically. Cedric had no more fight in him.

“You may have killed all of us, but I will be the one to break you.”

The Eldritch’s hand continued to collapse, and Cedric’s world tightened with his testicles. It became increasingly difficult to breath, and he knew that his balls won’t be able to take much more.

“Stop! My sack!”

“Shut up, Male!”

The Eldritch closed its hand even further, and Cedric’s vision went screaming white. There was nothing he could see, hear or feel, outside of his testicles getting collapsed on and the immeasurable pain that was torturing his body and head once again.

Suddenly, Cedric realized that he has dropped to the floor. He could not move or realize much other than the burning agony that felt inside and outside his body. He couldn't consider anything in his state, anyways. He simply, just lied there.

Thomas was barely able to pull his agony-ridden body over to his brother, but he did so painfully and slowly. Moving over the guilty puddle of ash that did this to the both of them, Thomas pulled on his brother’s body and lied his head on his chest.

“Cedric. Are you ok?” Thomas asked through pained breaths. Cedric didn’t stir, and Thomas grimaced. He pulled the other hand out of his crotch, and aimed them over his brother. He tried to heal him with whatever energy he had left. Slowly, Cedric began to stir. Thomas continued until he couldn’t, then fell completely onto Cedric.

“Thomas… what are you doing.” Cedric said, as he held onto Thomas. He looked around and then saw the single puddle of ash right next to Thomas. Then, the pain came back inside Cedric, and his memory followed in pursuit. But, before he could cup himself, he remembered the last of it.

“Thomas! Are you ok?”

Cedric lied his brother down on his back, and tried to figure out what to do. Thomas wasn’t stirring, and he looked deathly pale.

“Thomas! You’re really scaring me, please!”

Thomas did not respond, and Cedric began to panic. His little brother might not be okay.  

“Fade!” Cedric held his head and tried to figure out something. He knew what the problem might be, and lifted Thomas’s robe. His brotherly hand searched eagerly for Thomas’s privates, and found it. When he did so, he found what he feared. One of his brother’s testicles did not feel very solid. It made Cedric gag in sickness.

Thomas began to stir gently, then he groaned in terrible pain, pushing his big brother’s hand away.

“Sorry! Thomas-”

“Ah! My damn bollock! It’s broken Cedric! It’s shattered! Oh my Maker, it huts so bad! Help me, please!”

“Can’t you fix it!? You healed me, right? Heal you too!”

Thomas grimaced and tried to heal it himself, but forgot he was out of mana. He instantly grew weak at the effort and fell flat on his back again, growing more pale.

“Thomas!”

“Ce…dric…”

“Will you stop doing that! Why are you-”

“My… pocket. Seg…uari...um.”

Cedric reached into his brother’s pocket, and found the blue, greasy plant substance.

“Okay! What do I do now!?”

“My hand…”

Thomas weakly opened his hand and Cedric put it in his hand, pushing it in with his palm. Slowly, the Seguarium began to disintegrate. Cedric could feel the plant disappear into his brother’s hand, as he pushed it down. Soon, the two brother’s palms touched and Cedric looked down.

“Can you try it now?”

Thomas nodded his head and tried to sit up. With the help of his brother, he sat up and aimed his hands at his weakened testicle.

“Please Maker, please work…” Cedric begged, unsure if it would.

Slowly, Thomas felt the pain evaporate, and felt his left testicle move in its sack. Thomas’s eyes grew wide and he cheered.

“It’s working!” Thomas cheered.

“WOOOO! I’m going to be an uncle!” Cedric yelled out hugging his brother with reckless abandon. Thomas fell back, but tried to hold the spell. He didn’t want to let it drop mid heal. He didn’t want to have to have a half broken testicle in his sack.

“Curse me, my fault. I got excited.” Cedric said as he realized his blunder. He sat back as Thomas laughed, glaring up at him.

“No worries Brother. We’ll both be home soon. Manhood and all!”

The two laughed, and helped each other up. With Thomas’s staff in his hand, the brother’s slowly went down the path back out and said little at first as they walked on.

“So… are we going to tell Mother and Father about this?” Thomas asked.

“No! Especially not them, and not Master Archaes either.”

“Why not? Isn’t this important?”

“Yes, obviously little brother. But-”

“Are you really still going to call me little brother? I just scorched an entire race of demons into extinction. I think I’m the big brother now.”

“Yeah, you’ll be the big brother when you get hair on your balls. I felt them earlier, they’re as smooth as they were when you were born.”

“Oh fade off!” Thomas let out, smacking Cedric's bicep with his staff. Cedric looked back and held a face with Thomas, who couldn't help but smirk and look down. 

“Remember to find your clothes before we leave, Cedric. If you go back to the village without any on, they’ll know something’s up.”

“Fair point, brother. You were always the smart one.”

“And you, the over-confident one.”

Thomas looked up at Cedric and shared a knowing smile.

“I won’t be so cocky anymore brother. This was a very humbling experience.”

“I’d hope so. I also wouldn’t have been surprised if you chose to entirely remove this entire day from your memory.”

“Oh, if I could I would. But… you can’t forget something like this, no matter how hard you try.”

“Of course… brother, do you think any of the… Elders… at home, remember these… Eldritches?”

“I… don’t know. I thought about that too. I’m also unsure if I can call them the Elders anymore, considering today. But, we should not say anything at all for now anyways. Maybe later, but… I don’t want to have to come back here for a long time.”

Thomas nodded and saw his brother’s undergarment a bit further down.

“There it is!” Cedric yelled as he ran towards his undergarment, and jumped into it with remarkable quickness. With it on, Cedric walked around and let out a very relieving sigh.

“I didn’t realize how naked I felt until just now. I feel so much better!”

“You look better too. I don’t want to see those things for the rest of my life!”

“Oh, don’t say that brother. I remember when you were much younger, and-”

“I refuse to hear about that again!”

“But-”

“Brother, so help me, if you say it, I will kick you in the bollocks.”

“Woah, woah! Calm down, demon. Don’t you think I’ve been through enough, today?”

“Then don’t push me, fool. I saved us all, don’t embarrass me.”

“In front of whom!? It’s just you and me!”

“And they’ll be no one to hear you beg for mercy, so be quiet Cedric!”

“Just because you saved the day, doesn’t mean-”

“Cedric.”

“Thomas?”

“Can we please walk to the village without any more talking. My head is starting to hurt.”

Cedric held his laugh and nodded. Then, he grimaced and stopped walking as he turned around for a moment. Thomas looked at him, and raised an eyebrow.

“I forgot my bleeding sword back there.”

Thomas hummed in agreement, looking back.

“Bah! To the void with it.” Cedric said as he faced back in the direction out of the Caverns. “If there’s a straggler in there, and I get kicked in the bollocks one more time, I’ll ask you to slice them off for me. You can carry on the family name, for all I care.”

Thomas laughed and turned back, following his brother out of the Caverns.
