A Vow Fulfilled in Moonlight: The Lunar Princess Learns the Language of Touch

The air in Ranni's Rise was thin and cold, tasting of starlight and ancient stone. Outside, the spectral fog of Liurnia clung to the earth, but here, at the very peak of the spire, the night was achingly clear. A single, colossal moon, its face scarred with forgotten battles, bathed the chamber in a silver, ethereal light. It was the light of her Dark Path, the future she had chosen, and the future to which he had bound his very soul. He, her Tarnished, her consort eternal, sat on the floor by the grace-like warmth of a flickering hearth, watching her.

Ranni stood by the vast, arching window, a silhouette against the cosmos. Her doll's body, a vessel of porcelain and wood crafted by a master long dead, was still and perfect. Yet, he could feel the weight of her true spirit within it, a presence as vast and profound as the night sky itself. Her wide-brimmed hat cast a deep shadow over her face, leaving only the soft, blue glow of her single visible eye to illuminate her features. Her long, white hair, a cascade of spun moonlight, spilled over her shoulders and down her back, a stark, beautiful contrast to her dark robes.

For what felt like an eternity, they existed in this shared silence. The echoes of their journey—of Blaidd's howl, Iji's wisdom, Seluvis's treachery—had finally faded, leaving only this quiet sanctum. He had offered her the Dark Moon Ring, a promise of fealty and far more. He had knelt and accepted his role as her consort. But the words, as momentous as they were, felt like mere precursors to a truth that was only now beginning to unfold between them. A truth that had no place in the Golden Order's rigid doctrines or the prophecy of a Two-Fingered god.

Slowly, Ranni turned from the window. The subtle creak of the joints in her doll body was the only sound that broke the stillness. She glided across the stone floor, her four arms held in a posture of regal contemplation. She stopped before him, her glowing eye fixing him with an intensity that pierced deeper than any blade. He felt a familiar mix of awe and reverence, but tonight, it was laced with something new, something fragile and uncertain. He saw it in the faint tremor of her two main hands, which rested clasped before her.

“My Lord Consort,” she spoke, her voice a soft, echoing melody that seemed to resonate with the very stones of the tower. “Thou hast pledged thyself to my side, to walk a path of shadow and starlight. A journey far from the warmth of the Erdtree's grace.”

He looked up at her, meeting her gaze without hesitation. “It is the only path I desire, my Lady. The only grace I seek is yours.” He reached out, his calloused, battle-worn hand moving with a slow, deliberate tenderness, and gently took one of her porcelain hands in his. It was cool to the touch, smooth and unyielding, like polished marble. Yet, he felt a faint vibration, a resonance from the spirit within. He brought her hand to his lips and pressed a soft kiss to the back of it, his eyes never leaving hers.

He saw a flicker in her glowing eye, a subtle widening that spoke of surprise. Physical affection was a language her current form was not built to understand, a forgotten memory from a life of flesh and blood she had cast aside. He did not release her hand. Instead, he intertwined his fingers with hers, the warmth of his skin a stark contrast to the chill of the porcelain. He felt a subtle pressure in return, a hesitant closing of her fingers around his. It was a minuscule gesture, but it felt as significant as felling a demigod.

“This body,” she whispered, her gaze dropping to their joined hands. “It was made for secrets, for subterfuge. It knows not the warmth of touch. It is but a vessel, cold and distant.”

“It is your vessel,” he replied, his voice a low, sincere murmur. “And it is beautiful. Through it, I see you, Ranni. And I desire to be close to you, in every way that a consort can.” He slowly rose to his knees, bringing himself closer to her level. He reached up with his free hand, his fingers gently tracing the painted curve of her doll's cheek. The surface was smooth, but beneath his touch, he imagined the spirit, the real Ranni, feeling a ghost of the sensation.

He watched as her second pair of arms, which had been resting at her sides, slowly rose. The smaller, more delicate hands reached out, hovering in the air between them for a moment before one of them came to rest on his shoulder. The other gently touched his chest, right over his heart. The touch was feather-light, inquisitive. He could feel her exploring the texture of his tunic, the solid muscle beneath, the steady, rhythmic beat of his heart. A heart that now hammered against his ribs for her.

The atmosphere in the room thickened, charged with a new, unspoken energy. The silence was no longer merely peaceful; it was heavy with anticipation. He leaned in, his forehead coming to rest gently against hers. He closed his eyes, focusing on the sheer proximity of her, the faint scent of moonlit flowers and ancient dust that clung to her robes. He felt her spectral form, a presence just beyond the veil of the physical, pressing against his own spirit.

“Show me,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “Show me this language of which you speak. This warmth. I wish to… learn it. With thee.”

His heart swelled at her words, a mix of profound love and burgeoning lust. This was Ranni, the witch, the Empyrean, asking him for guidance in the most intimate of realms. He slowly pulled back, his eyes opening to find her single blue eye staring into his with a raw, captivating vulnerability. He guided her to sit before the fire, the warm light dancing across her porcelain features, making the painted blush on her cheeks seem to deepen. He sat before her, their knees almost touching, and took both of her primary hands in his.

“It begins with trust,” he said softly, his thumbs stroking the back of her hands. “And with this…” He leaned in again, and this time, his lips met hers. The sensation was strange and wonderful. Her lips were cool, unyielding porcelain, but he kissed her as if she were flesh and blood. He was gentle at first, then more insistent, parting his own lips slightly, trying to convey all his pent-up adoration and desire through that single point of contact. He felt her entire doll body go rigid with surprise, then, miraculously, a subtle yielding. He felt her shift, ever so slightly, into the kiss. One of her smaller hands moved from his chest to the back of his neck, her delicate fingers tangling in the hair at his nape, a silent encouragement to continue.

When he finally pulled away, he was breathless. Her glowing eye was wide, shimmering with an emotion he couldn't quite name. “A… curious sensation,” she murmured, her voice a little unsteady. “A current, a warmth… it spreads from that single point.”

“There is more,” he promised, his voice thick with need. His gaze drifted downwards, and a bold idea took root. He looked back at her, a silent question in his eyes. She seemed to understand, for she gave a slow, deliberate nod. Her consent was a fire in his veins. He shifted, moving to kneel directly before her as she sat. His hands, trembling slightly, went to the clasps of his own trousers. The rustle of fabric was loud in the quiet room. He freed himself, his erection springing forth, hard and flushed in the firelight, a stark, living thing in this chamber of spirits and secrets.

Ranni’s eye widened further, her gaze fixed on him. There was no fear or revulsion, only a profound, scholarly curiosity mixed with a dawning awe. Her four hands twitched, as if unsure of their purpose. He saw the hesitation and reached out, taking one of her primary hands—the same one he had kissed—and guided it towards his length. He gently wrapped her cool, slender fingers around his shaft. The contrast was electric. His burning hot flesh against the cold, smooth porcelain of her hand. He let out a sharp, involuntary hiss of pleasure.

“Is this… correct?” she asked, her voice a hushed whisper. Her fingers were still, simply holding him, as if examining a strange artifact.

“Perfectly,” he rasped, his eyes closing. “Now… move. As you feel.” He guided her hand, showing her the motion, a slow, deliberate slide up and down his length. He felt the perfect, unyielding smoothness of her fingers, a sensation unlike anything he had ever known. There was no friction of skin, only a sleek, cool pressure that drove him wild. He watched her face, her single eye intensely focused on her task, on the effect she was having on him. A drop of pre-cum beaded at his tip, glistening in the firelight.

Ranni saw it, and her other primary hand joined the first. Now, two hands were wrapped around him, one above the other, moving in a steady, hypnotic rhythm. The motion was still slightly mechanical, as if she were solving a puzzle, but the intensity of her focus was incredibly arousing. Her long, white hair cascaded over her shoulders, some strands brushing against his thighs as she leaned into her work. Then, her smaller, secondary hands came into play. One gently cupped his balls, the cool porcelain a shocking, exquisite pleasure against his sensitive skin. The other hand began to trace patterns on his inner thigh, its touch light and teasing, sending shivers up his spine.

“Your heart… it beats so rapidly,” she observed, her voice still quiet but laced with a new tone of discovery. “Your skin is hot to the touch. This is the warmth you spoke of.”

“Yes,” he gasped, his head thrown back. “This is… desire, Ranni. My desire… for you.” The sight of her—the Lunar Princess, the demigod he served—kneeling before him, her four hands devoted entirely to his pleasure, was an image that would be burned into his soul for eternity. He could feel her learning, adapting. Her rhythm became less rigid, more fluid. She began to vary the pressure, her thumbs stroking the sensitive underside of his shaft, her grip tightening at the base on each downstroke. The sounds of his pleasure—low groans and sharp breaths—filled the chamber, a raw, living counterpoint to the ancient silence.

He was getting close, his hips beginning to buck involuntarily. He reached down, his hands finding purchase on her delicate shoulders. “Ranni…” he warned, his voice strained. She seemed to understand. Her pace quickened, her four hands working in perfect, devastating concert. The main two pumped his shaft with increasing speed, while the smaller two teased and tormented, one squeezing his balls gently while the other’s fingers danced perilously close to his asshole. It was too much. A tidal wave of pleasure crashed over him, and he cried out her name as his release burst forth, hot and thick, spilling over her pristine porcelain hands and onto the dark fabric of her robes.

He slumped forward, his body trembling, his forehead resting against her chest as he gasped for air. He felt her hands still on him, her fingers still wrapped around his softening cock. For a long moment, there was only the sound of his ragged breathing and the crackle of the fire. Then, he felt one of her smaller hands come up to stroke his hair, the gesture hesitant but filled with an unmistakable tenderness.

She looked down at the mess he had made on her hands. Her head tilted, a gesture of pure curiosity. She brought one of her coated hands up to her face, observing the milky fluid. “The very essence of thy vitality,” she mused, her tone one of academic fascination. “Given freely. To me.”

He lifted his head, his gaze meeting hers. A profound sense of intimacy settled between them, deeper than any vow. He had laid himself bare before her, and she had not only accepted him but had actively participated in his pleasure. He watched, mesmerized, as she did something entirely unexpected. She brought her fingertip, still slick with his seed, to her painted lips and touched it. There was no taste, no sensation for her in that way, but the symbolism of the act was staggering. It was an acceptance of his physicality, of his mortality, of the messy, carnal reality of his being.

He slowly sat back, a sense of awe washing over him. He felt a profound need to reciprocate, to give her a pleasure that went beyond the spiritual, even if her body was not designed for it. “Let me,” he whispered, his voice still hoarse. He gently took her hands and, with a piece of cloth from his pack, began to meticulously clean them, his touch reverent. Once she was clean, he met her gaze again, his own full of a burning intent.

“You have learned one part of this language,” he said, his voice low and steady. “There is another. Deeper. More… intimate. If you would allow it.”

She watched him, her glowing eye unblinking. The firelight played across her face, giving her an expression of deep contemplation. She had seen his release, felt the evidence of it on her hands. Now he was offering more. After a long moment, she gave another slow, deliberate nod. “I would learn all of this language. With thee, my consort.”

His heart leaped. He shifted his position, urging her to lie back on the thick, plush rug before the hearth. She did so, her doll body moving with an unnatural grace. She lay there, a pale figure against the dark wool, her four arms resting at her sides, a vision of otherworldly beauty. He moved over her, his body shielding her from the direct heat of the fire, casting them both in flickering shadow. He lowered his head, his lips tracing a path from her porcelain jaw down the smooth column of her neck. He couldn't feel her pulse, couldn't feel the warmth of blood, but he could feel the immense power of the spirit that lay within.

He kissed her again, a long, deep kiss that was all about possession and adoration. As he kissed her, his hands began to explore, unfastening the complex clasps of her dark robes. He pushed the heavy fabric aside, revealing the sculpted, pale form beneath. It was an artist's rendition of a female form, perfect in its curves and proportions, but sexless, smooth, and unbroken. It did not matter. His goal was not a physical congress her body couldn't accommodate, but an act of worship.

His lips moved lower, over her clavicle, down her sternum. He saw her four hands rise, as if to embrace him, her fingers flexing and unflexing. He positioned himself between her legs, his own desire already stirring anew, his semi-hard cock pressing against the smooth porcelain of her inner thigh. He looked up at her face. Her eye was wide, fixed on him, a silent participant in this unfolding drama. He lowered his head, his mouth closing over the featureless juncture between her legs. He laved the spot with his tongue, treating the smooth porcelain as if it were the most sensitive flesh. He tasted nothing but cool ceramic and the faint, dusty scent of her vessel, but in his mind, he was worshiping her true form, her spirit, her very essence.

He felt her entire body shudder. A small, sharp gasp, like the chime of a tiny bell, escaped her. Her four hands shot out, gripping his shoulders, his arms, his hair. The strength in the doll's body was surprising. It was an instinctive, primal reaction, a ghost of sensation rippling through her spiritual form and manifesting in the vessel. Encouraged, he continued his ministrations, his tongue tracing patterns, his lips applying gentle suction. He used his hands to hold her legs open, his thumbs stroking the insides of her porcelain thighs. He imagined her spirit, afire with a sensation it hadn't felt in an age, a pleasure she had sacrificed for her destiny.

He continued his worship, losing himself in the act, until he felt a change in the energy in the room. A soft, blue light began to emanate from her, a visible aura of her spiritual power responding to the intense physical stimulus. Her grip on him tightened, and a low, melodic hum vibrated through her doll body and into his own. It was her version of a moan, a sound of pure, esoteric pleasure. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard.

Finally, he moved back up, his face slick with his own saliva, and lay beside her. He gathered her into his arms, all four of hers wrapping around him in a strange, wonderful, and perfect embrace. He felt the blue aura surround them both, a cocoon of shared intimacy and starlight. They lay there for a long time, listening to the fire and the quiet hum of the cosmos outside the window. He had taught her the language of touch, and in doing so, had discovered a new vocabulary for love, one written not in flesh and blood, but in porcelain, spirit, and the endless, beautiful dark of the night sky.
