The Joining


The raid on the Shallow Plains Clan was in full motion as
Kani of the Bending River Clan raised her battle staff high and
knocked out the young male slave she had captured running away during
the attack. She heard a distant signal and knew the raid was over and
that the time to get back to their home had come. She laid him with
all the others
that had been captured and joined her companions sitting between
Aurria and
Iomine.
Their leader Merrissa stood in front of them and looked down
at the newest group of Bending River females to come of age. "You
have succeeded daughters of the river in capturing your prize and now
I can call you my daughters no longer. From this night forth I must
call you my sisters. For you are now no longer children. Now get up
and get ready for tonight." With those words the young women all
gathered up and retreated to their perspective
shelters .
Kani was greeted by her mother Lecastra who embraced her and
gave her a kiss on the forehead. Without words she gathered her
daughter and took her to the river where she bathed Kani just like
when she was a babe. She scrubbed her skin with sand until it was as
soft as a flower petal and lathered her hair till it shone bright
brown with its reddish highlights. Taking a dry cloth she dried her
bringing her back to their shelter then helping her dress in her
soft cloth shift.

This was the only kindness Kani had ever gotten from
her mother as she had always been very serious and upright in the
upbringing of her only child leaving the day-to-day handling of her
child to her one slave, Kani's "father" Hector. Lecastra
removed a special dagger from a chest she had under her sleeping
area.
Taking it and its accompanying sheath she attached it to Kani's belt
. There were no words from her
mother but Kani understood and accepted her mother's love.

Both women went outside where the rest of the clan had
congregated. Mothers left their daughters in a group and left for a
cave where they would meditate and chant weaving their spells to
protect and help their daughters. Only the Clan leader stayed behind
dressed in a cloth shift like the rest of them, with a wreath of
flowers around her head instead of her usual gold circlet. She
motioned the young women to form a circle around a large bush of
flowers and Merrissa stood in the middle.

"I want you to look around this circle and see your sisters.
These will be the shoulders, hands, and minds that will support you,
help you, and comfort you for the rest of your lives". Kani saw
Aurria, , Iomine, who were her two best friends, but she also saw
Garmiel the women whom she had clashed with for most of her
childhood. Two pairs of eyes for a moment linked and both knew that
they had settled all past grudges and that they welcomed one another
with love and commitment. During the raid Garmiel had defended Kani
when she had made a mistake instead of leaving her to take the fall.
The two gave each other kind smiles.
"Now sisters take your flower and place it in your Chosen's
hair" .
There would be no conflict as the chants from their mothers circled
the air and cleared each women's mind

Slowly Kani and the rest bent over the pot, and she picked a
peach colored flower with red tips on its petals. Kani and Garmiel
walked up to one another and set their flowers in each other's
hair. After everyone had picked their Chosen the circle reconvened
with
Merrissa once again in the center. Each women had their Chosen beside
them and Kani observed that Aurria and Iomine had chosen each other.
"Take each other's hands now". Merrissa's voice rang soft
but clear .
The circle was linked finally. "Now is the time to open your
minds and bodies to each other. Do not be afraid. I will leave you
now but remember that these are your sisters and that you are
safe with them. Trust them like they will trust you". Merrissa went
around the circle of twenty women and kissed each of them on the
forehead and the circle broke for an instant to let her out. She
disappeared into the shadows.
The only sound that could be heard was the breathing of the
twenty young women as they silently stared at one another. Kani felt
Garmiel clutch her hand tighter as they waited for something to
happen. All Kani could hear was the winds around them pick. She felt
a chilly touch on her shoulder that made her shiver. She shared a
look with Aurria and she knew that she had felt it too.
The winds whipped their hair across their faces as whispered
voices rang in their ears. The voices flooded Kani's ears and she
struggled to keep her link with the others. She closed her eyes to
keep the dust raised out of her eyes. The minute her lids were shut
she began to receive a mélange of images in her mind. She was a
mother, a baby, she was old, she was a toddler, she was Lecastra, she
was Garmiel, she was her grandmother, she was the founder of their
clan, she was Kani, she was many, SHE WAS THE CLAN!
Her breathing grew hitched as the voices became guttural,
angry, violent, speaking so fast and in a tongue she did not
understand. She began to feel a heated sensation all over her body
that began to concentrate in between her thighs, making Kani roll her
hips. All around her she could hear the others start to breath
faster.
Her heartbeat increased and her body began to sweat from the
effort of keeping the link between them. She felt caresses all over
her body . One flicked against the pulse in her neck and Kani
groaned. She would shoot into the sky! Was this what the Joining
was ? Flying higher and higher until she burned into the Sun.
She wanted to scream but an invisble hand clamped her mouth
shut, "patience!". She was in pain now but still she clung onto
Garmiel. Her emotions grew to a fevered pitch until she felt a force
shove her harshly backwards. The Circle shattered leaving the
writhing, gasping young women huddled together. Kani hugged Garmiel
close to her body taking comfort in their shared body heat. The winds
had died down and the voices vanished into the night.
Kani brought Garmiel's face down to her's and gave her a deep
kiss not knowing where the impetus came from. Her tongue shyly
entered Garmiel's mouth, swirling around to touch tongues. The kiss
lasted a few more moments before both separated. Kani gave her
Chosen a slow smile. " Hello wife."
"Hello wife," replied Garmiel. The now joined couple came
together for another kiss. Movements all around them occurred as
other newly joined couples went off for the night together. Both
stood up and Kani led Garmiel to the river bank where there had been
built a small temporary shelter for the Joining. On the floor lay a
mattress stuffed with grasses and covered in a soft cloth.
The two stopped and stared at one another and soon started to
giggle. Kani cleared her throat and tentatively slid her hand onto
Garmiel's shoulder under her shift . She gently touched the soft
skin, her face flushing. "Is this alright, wife ?". She drew circles
around the base of her neck.
Garmile gave a soft sigh and nodded slowly . Her arm reached
forward and hooked around Kani's waist which brought them face to
face, chest to chest, and foot to foot. Kani's brown eyes met
Garmiels dark grey ones. "I don't know what I am supposed to do ? Do
you?," whispered Garmiel to Kani in a soft voice. Kani shook her head.
"I never did run away to play in the bush like Aurria and Iomine used
to. I…..I liked the kissing though." Again a red flush came over her
face. Garmiel grinned and slowly lowered her face for another kiss.
As their mouths touched their breasts rubbed together causing a
pleasant buzz to begin again in the pit of Kani's stomach. Touching
Garmiel's cheek she gently lowered her hand to her collarbone and
then finally to the upper slope of her breast. Kani felt Garmile
shiver as she finally lowered her fingers to the tip which poked out
from Garniel's shift.
Garmiel gave a soft moan as Kani rubbed her nipple, "Like
that ?", asked Kani. Garmiel nodded and placed her hand on Kani's
breast to mirror her movements. Now both girls felt little zaps of
sensation run through their bodies emanating from their nipples. The
two lay down on the bed and kissed with their hands trapped between
their bodies. Garmiel wanted to feel Kani's skin against her own
fully as she enjoyed the sensations of rubbing against Kani's soft
neck and shoulders. She began to lift her shift to take it off making
them both pause.
She lifted the shift over her head and tossed it to the side.
The cloth rustled as it hit the floor and soon Kani's shift and belt
joined that of her mate. Kani nestled naked at Garmiel's side. The
two's curious gazes flitted over each other's bodies. Garmiel was
more developed and muscular while Kani still had a few years before
her body would fully evolve into it's adult form.
Kani felt the deep restlessness she had felt while in the
Circle . She brought her hands against the undersides of Garmiel's
breasts and lowered her head to give a small lick at her nipples.
Garmiel's eyes flew open and she hugged Kani's head closer to her.
Kani ventured to open her mouth over a nipple and gently bit down.
Garmiel came up off the mattress with a strange noise but
Kani silenced her out cry with a quick kiss on the mouth and brought
her down again settling halfway on top of her. With her hands she
explored Garmiel's body going from her chest to her stomach and down
her smooth legs. Getting all the way to the toes of Garmiel's feet
Kani made her way back up and as she made her way mid thigh she
gently pried open Garmiel's thighs. Garmiel complied and Kani made
her way between then lightly brushing against the inner thighs.
Garmiel groaned at the image of Kani between her legs before
closing her eyes. She did not understand the feelings and sensations
she was experiencing but she trusted Kani and if she was making her
feel this way then it could not be wrong. She felt Kani's fingers
probe the area between her legs sliding them in the folds between her
legs. Her body gave another jerk and this time Kani positioned
herself between her legs lying fully on top of her.
Kani gently kissed Garmiel on the cheek feeling the girl's
excelerated heart beat against her chest.. "I want to touch you,"
Kani spoke huskily as she gave Garmiel another, "here," she touched
Garmiel's pubic bone, "and here." Kani let her fingers graze
Garmiel's clit . Garmiel's head smashed against the soft mattress as
her body could not support it.
"Where did you learn that ?," Garmiel spoke jaggedly. The way
Kani had gained control and manipulated her responses. Was too easy
and too quick. Kani gave her a reassuring smile.
"I spied on my mother with Merrissa," admitted Kani, "Relax it feels
good so enjoy it , wife." The title of wife made Garmiel smile and
she enveloped Kani closer to her . Kani's fingers had been softly
playing with Garniel's insides and rapidly began to gain in momentum.
Kani felt Garmiel grow slick and she felt a sweat break out on her
body.
She lowered her head once more to Garmiel's breasts and
suckled at them remembering how Merrissa had lavished such attention
on her mother. Garmiel felt her body tighten even more as she held
her hands in Kani's hair. Faster her fingers went and Garmiel groaned
louder. Kani took her other hand and pressed against Garmiel's pubic
bone again making her wife lose her breath for an instant. Just when
Garmiel felt she would start howling Kani stopped and backed away
from her wife.
Garmiel found her bearings and looked down to see that Kani
had made her way off the bed and was giving her a teasing look. "Why
did you stop ?"
"Did you like it ?", Kani advanced once again but this time she
slithered on all fours pausing to rest on top of their shifts.
Garmiel breathed shakily.
"Yes I did, please come back to bed wife." Kani shook her head
teasingly once more.
"Beg me for it Garmiel. I wanna hear you beg my wife," she whispered
softly . Garmile bowed her head reconciling her body's needs with her
pride.
"I beg you Kani. Come back to bed my wife." Kani slowly got up off
the floor and came on top of her again. Garmiel tried to lick Kani's
nipples but Kani stopped her. She shook her head.
"Right now is for you. Later will be for me." And she kissed Garmiel
on the neck and started her fingers going in and out of Garmiel.
Soon her face started to move closer between her legs and Kani had
her nose to Garmiel's clit rubbing it . She opened her mouth over
Garmiel and began to tongue her slit up and down.
Garmiel's hips bucked and Kani looked up to give Garmiel a
wicked look. Garmile could only watch Kani's chestnut head bury
itself once more between her thighs and start once again setting her
nerves on fire. Kani would hasten her speed until Garmiel felt she
was close to collapsing only to slow once more and Garmiel's head
would roll from the ache inside her.
Kani played this cat and mouse game until finally Garmiel
grew tired of it. She tightened her legs around Kani's head and
shoved it with her hands harder against her. Kani obeyed., Garmiel
moans became harsher as Kani did not let up but instead intensified
her assault on Garmiel's senses. Like in the Circle Garmiel felt the
waves all around her as she felt her body begin to spasm. She felt
herself lose her breath and still Kani did give up her hold on
Garmiel's insides.
Kani finally harshly gave Garmiel one final lick and suck
before getting up and looking at her wife. Garmiel's eyes were wide
with shock as she realized that the waves were not diminishing but
only intensifying. Her body writhed on its own accord across the
sweat stained mattress. Her eyes looked to Kani's for help but all
she saw was were eyes that were blank and openly predatory. Kani
kneeled over her wife and held her down for one last kiss. She
searched with her hands and encountered the dagger her mother had
given her that evening and she unsheathed it.
The metal glistened as it caught some stray moonbeams from
the full moon. Garmiel trapped in the Force lock and her own orgasm
could only weakly shake her head as the dagger descended in a smooth
arc and spread a line of scarlet red from one of her ears to the
other.
The blood spread across the mattress as Kani wiped the dagger
clean on the corner of the mattress. She never spared her wife a
second glance as she pulled on her shift and methodically put on her
belt. She left the hut and soon joined the nine women gathered
around a bonfire in the village.
She sat down and felt a silent kiss on her cheek and knew her
mother was with her. "Welcome Nightsister."
