Enjoy!The Earth Mother's Blessing
A Fire Emblem: Echoes QS Fan Fiction

NOTE: This story is non-canon to the events of the game, though the setting is somewhat similar.
It was time for the weekly offering.
Celica, priestess for the Earth Mother Mila of the country of Zofia, slowly walked into the temple, carrying a large sack of food from the harvest in her arms. ('Dragons need to eat, too,' as the bishop says,) the redhead recalled with a slight smile. Mila always seemed to enjoy seeing Celica when she made the offering, seeing as she was one of the most devoted of the Earth Mother's faithful.
And yet...
Celica's smile faded as she recalled her childhood friend, Alm... They had been inseparable as kids, reading stories and playing in the fields together until she'd been forced to leave and take up residence in a remote priory off shore... when they had met again nearly a decade later, the redhead was despondent to learn that Alm had chosen the path of the sword, becoming an accomplished Knight of Zofia, completely dedicated to his position, just as Celica was dedicated to hers... Their brief conversations were cordial enough, but it was all too clear that an invisible wall of sorts had come between them, due to their wildly differing paths in life...
Realizing she had reached the inner chamber, Celica put those thoughts out of her mind as she entered the sanctum, where the Earth Mother herself was waiting... unlike most rooms, the floor of the inner sanctum was bare soil, not tile, where patches of wild grass grew here and there, befitting of one so named... Mila sat in a nondescript chair at the far end of the room, her face framed by green hair, which was short in the front, but long in the back... so long, in fact, that it shaped into the form of wings, hanging unnaturally off the floor... Though she otherwise looked human in appearance, her large pointed ears and horn growing from her upper forehead, not to mention the long, scaly tail poking out from under her dress, made her true draconic nature apparent.
"Earth Mother," Celica greeted, kneeling. "I bring the offering from this week's harvest." Setting the sack on the ground, she untied it, revealing grain and vegetables. "Is this acceptable to you?"
"I accept the food, with thanks," Mila nodded.
"It is only due to your blessing, Lady Mila," Celica acknowledged. She stood, keeping her head bowed, and clasping her hands in prayer, before turning to leave...
"Hold, Celica."
The redhead immediately halted. Slowly turning back to the dragon goddess, she hesitantly ventured, "Is there something else you require of me?"
"Come here," Mila gently ordered. Celica began to walk forward, avoiding the food offering, wondering what it could be that the Earth Mother wanted... her mind briefly recalled one of her fellow priestesses, who had been in the sanctum with Mila for far longer than usual... when she had finally emerged, she had been distraught, crying that she had defiled herself, tendering her resignation from the priesthood within the day. The bishop could only guess that she had done something which had greatly displeased the Earth Mother... (Surely I have committed no such transgression?) Celica couldn't help but wonder...
Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet yielded, the redhead gasping as she sank to her knees into the moist earth which rippled around her... "Wh... what...?" Looking up at her goddess, she pleaded, "Lady Mila, what is the meaning of this?"
"I wish for you to prostrate yourself for me," the Earth Mother responded. "To give yourself to the earth..."
"P-prostrate myself?!" Celica gasped. She had never heard such a request before...!
"Did I stutter, Celica?" The dragon maiden raised an eyebrow. "Remove your clothing. Do not be ashamed, for you have nothing on your body which I have not seen before..." The redhead's eyes went wide at this, but she dared not disobey. Sighing heavily, she slowly removed her chest guard and set it down, before methodically disrobing... soon, she stood completely nude before the Earth Mother, her clothing being carried away by the rippling earth, out of her reach... Celica then gasped as she felt herself begin to sink again, the liquid soil rising up her thighs, her hips...
The priestess gasped, leaning forward as the mud began to flow between her legs, causing her to shiver, her nipples swiftly becoming hard and pronounced... she tried to brace herself against the ground, only for her hands to sink past her slender wrists in the quick-mud, which now swirled around her waist... (Is this... what happened to the other priestess?) she couldn't help but wonder, as her body quaked with pleasure... Straightening up, she pushed her right hand into the mud, to try and block the earth from flowing into her vagina...
But as soon as her hand made contact, it caused a wave of sensation to surge though her body, making her shiver, the quicksand taking her in further as a result... Against her will, her hand started to rub down there, causing more waves of pleasure to course through her, the earth now counting her ribs... Lifting her head, Celica saw Mila, who was now standing, watching her sink... lifting up her free arm, she reached out to her for help. "Earth Mother...!"
"You're doing just fine, Celica," the dragoness said with a slight smile. The redhead saw that her goddess' nipples were poking against her modest dress, her tail swishing back and forth, indicating that she was enjoying the show...
Drawing in a deep, shaky breath, Celica resigned herself to her fate, scooping up a handful of earth with her free arm, then gently massaging it into her breast, causing herself to moan and quake in delight... the quicksand was now fondling her bosom, gently pinching her hard nipples in it's moist grip, causing the trapped woman to cry out from the stimulation...
"Are you enjoying yourself, Celica?" Mila asked rhetorically. "How does it feel, to make love to the very earth itself?"
There was one other person she would rather have made love to, his smiling face appearing in her mind's eye... "Alm," she gasped out. "Oh, Alm... Alm..." Just thinking about him caused her pleasure to soar higher and higher, her hips bucking hard against her submerged hand, her other hand pinching her nipple, almost to the point of pain... the soft, sucking mud rubbing against her nude body with it's unique texture as she continued her self-stimulation...
And then, she was there, at the height of ecstasy, her eyes popping open as she screamed aloud, her bloodstream being set aflame, burning throughout her whole body from head to toe, her bucking and thrashing causing her to sink down deeper and deeper into the liquid earth...
By the time her orgasm had subsided, her head was tilted back, her chin dipping into the mud, her curly red hair spreading over the surface, her eyes closed and mouth wide open, gasping for air as she came down from her high... Stars were still flashing in her vision as her eyes blinked open, just barely able to make out the hem of Mila's dress, which then vanished into the ground... it took Celica a moment to realize what was happening- the dragoness was now sinking into the mire herself. "Earth Mother... what...?"
"What am I doing?" Mila finished for her. "I thought it obvious... I'm joining you." She made her way out to Celica, bending over to push her hands into the mud, hooking them under the woman's armpits and pulling up...
The priestess couldn't help but sigh in relief as her shoulders, then her chest emerged from the quick-mud... Soon, she and Mila were mired at the same depth, the earth fondling both their bosoms, Mila's dress becoming irreversibly stained by the dark brown muck... Looking at the dragoness' face, Celica's breath caught in her throat- she had never been in such close proximity to the Earth Mother, never mind making direct physical contact... and then Mila pulled her in closer, until their bodies pressed together, before pushing her arms deeper into the mud, to wrap around Celica's waist, as her tail gently coiled beneath the redhead's buttocks for additional support... Fortunately Celica had managed to remove the one hand from between her legs, and now she followed her goddess' lead, wrapping her own arms around Mila's waist, wondering what she might do next.
"Ah, dear Celica," the greenette sighed with a smile. "You always were my favorite..." Her eyes then shut as she moved in closer... Celica then became aware of moistness on her lips, before realization dawned on her.
(She's kissing me... she's kissing me!) The Earth Mother then slid her tongue in, slightly longer and narrower than a human's, removing any doubt as to what she was doing... Celica quaked with pleasure at this, which Mila could feel, causing her to moan in delight... her moans then increased in volume as her priestess responded with her own tongue, closing her eyes as she settled into the french kiss...
They remained like this for a while, gently dueling with their tongues as they slowly rocked back and forth in their muddy encasement, uncaring about anything else... and then Mila began to move, shifting her hips against Celica's, causing the redhead to quiver as an intense wave of sensation surged through her... her body then bucked against Mila, causing a similar wave of pleasure, before the Earth Mother responded in kind... Their embrace tightened, their moans increasing in volume as they began to make love in earnest, sending thick ripples over the surface of the earth...
Mila and Celica abruptly broke off their kiss due to need for air, as they continued to thrust against each other, gasping and moaning, stars flashing in their vision... Celica then became aware of the mud filling her cleavage, then massaging her shoulders... "Mila, we're sinking...!"
"Be not afraid...!" The Earth Mother gasped out, "No harm... shall befall you...!" She then threw her head back and screamed ferally, as her body finally succumbed to orgasm... Celica was not far behind, throwing her own head back, feeling the earth soaking into her hair as she also screamed in ecstasy... The mire rippled and heaved around their upturned faces, but did not consume them, even as they continued to buck against each other uncontrollably...
...by the time Celica came back to herself, she was aware that her mouth and lips were uncomfortably dry, the quick-mud having clogged her ears, muffling all sound, save her own rapid heartbeat... her vision slowly refocused, seeing the ceiling of the inner sanctum... then she became aware of another body embracing hers.
(Mila...) Celica realized. (Dear gods... then it wasn't a dream. We really...) An aftershock of pleasure coursed through her body at the thought of what they had just done. Once she had caught her breath, the priestess tilted her head forward, which caused her mouth to sink beneath the surface, quickly filling with mud... which was actually somewhat relieving, as it remoistened her lips, alleviating her discomfort somewhat... She then saw Mila had done the same thing, now sunk nose-deep in the earth, her eyes closed, as if she was asleep... Celica reluctantly swallowed a small amount of mud to sate her thirst, before pressing her lips against Mila's under the surface...
It did the trick, as the dragoness slowly roused from her lethargy, eyes slowly opening, locking with Celica's red orbs... Smiling through the kiss, she invoked her power to make the quick-mud bear them up, slowly rising until their bosoms had again emerged into open air, though still covered in a thin layer of muck... The two then separated, mud dripping out their mouths, which remerged with the larger mass below...
Celica licked her lips, searching for words to say... "Lady Mila... why?"
"Hmmm... a simple question, yet difficult to answer." The Earth Mother closed her eyes as she pondered... "Celica, you know that I have always admired your devotion towards me..."
"Y-yes..."
"And yet... it almost seemed, at times, that there was something not quite right. Almost as if... you were trying to take your mind off of something else..." Mila's eyes then opened. "And now, I have my answer. You desire another, do you not?"
The priestess' eyes went wide with shock. "E-Earth Mother! H-how could you say such a thing?!"
"I heard you call his name, you know," Mila replied, "While you were prostrating yourself... Alm, was it?"
Shock and horror coursed through Celica as she realized that she had indeed done just that. "Oh gods... that's... that's what happened to the other priestess, isn't it? She desired another as well, and you called her out on it..."
"Her circumstances were... slightly different," the goddess explained. "She desired men in general, whereas you only desire one... I sank her into this very earth to make her prove her loyalty to me... Unfortunately, her thoughts of men over took her and she stimulated herself to ecstasy... just as you did."
"So that's why she said she'd defiled herself..." Celica reasoned. "And now, I have done the same... my thoughts of Alm betrayed me..." Tears began to roll down her cheeks. "I... am no longer worthy of serving you..."
Mila bit her lip lightly. "Tell me, dear Celica... how long have you desired him?"
"W-we were childhood friends..." the redhead explained. "We were inseparable, back in the day... even when I was forced to leave and go to the priory, Alm promised that we would meet again someday..." She sniffled. "But now, our paths have greatly diverged... I chose the path of prayer and worship, while he has chosen the path of the sword... Don't you see, Lady Mila? It can never be now, between us... No matter how I wish it..." She sobbed in despair.
"Oh, you poor, misguided child..." Mila sighed as she hugged Celica closer, letting the woman cry on her shoulder. "Can you not see? You may no longer be worthy to serve me... however, in another sense, you are now free."
"F... free?" Celica grunted.
"Yes. Free to leave here, to go and pursue him who you truly desire..." The dragoness pulled Celica back to look her in the eye. "Far be it from me, to deny you true happiness, with the one you have loved ever since childhood..."
Celica took a breath to calm herself. "Even if what you say is true, Earth Mother, I fear that he is too dedicated to his calling as a Knight of Zofia to know or understand my desire..."
Mila simply chuckled at this, as she released her embrace of Celica and moved away a short distance. "Silly girl... did you think that I had not already considered such a possibility? After all, I did not make love with you only for my own amusement... can you not feel it?"
The redhead blinked in confusion. "Feel what...?" Then, suddenly, she was aware of it- a soft, warm feeling that enveloped her body... at first, she had believed it to be the afterglow of her orgasm, but now, she realized it was something else entirely... she felt... light. No... powerful.
"Ah, now you sense it," The Earth Mother nodded. "I have given you my blessing, child... a small portion of my power to command the earth to do as you will. Try it. Extricate yourself from this quicksand..."
(Command the earth...?) Celica blinked, looking down at the surface of the mire which still fondled her bare breasts... Taking a breath to clear her mind, she focused on the mud, concentrating... then, she felt her bosom slowly pull clear of the quick-mud's embrace... then her stomach emerged... her hips, her knees... soon, she was standing atop the moist earth, which was now firm beneath her feet. Unfortunately, her legs were still weak having endured two orgasms, making her lose her balance and fall on her butt, causing mud to splatter everywhere, though it did not take her in again...
Mila instinctively turned her head away, a small glob of mud impacting her cheek. "Clearly, you still need some practice," she stated, though her tone was light and amused. "But now, you can use my power to make him understand that you will not take no for an answer..."
"...well, if there is no other recourse, than I shall do so," Celica agreed hesitantly. "I shall endeavor not to abuse this power you have blessed me with, Earth Mother..."
"I have faith that you will not," Mila smirked, "or I would not have entrusted you with such power to begin with. Now dress yourself, and be on your way..."
"Yes, of course," the redhead nodded as she retrieved her clothing, dressing quickly... she would still have to clean herself properly later, but at least for now, her modesty was hidden. "Farewell, Lady Mila... and thank you!" She turned and left, a light bounce in her step.
"Farewell, Celica..." the goddess sighed. She would miss her, regardless of the circumstances... then she spied the offering that had been left behind. (Oh, I should get that into storage before it spoils...) But as she shifted her position, she felt the soft earth massage and caress her submerged body, gently suckling on her bosom... (Then again, it can probably keep for a few minutes more...) With that, the dragon maiden leaned back and relaxed in her muddy encasement...
To be continued...
Alm's gonna have no idea what hit him...
Hope you liked it so far!
A lovely story so far... but what will the future hold? We can only watch and wait... 
Got a good start on the second part, but another non-QS story I'm writing is taking priority, so it might be another week or so... 
Glad you enjoyed the story, though.
