Submerge into the New Year (M)

[Black Clay Lord]

A little New Year's styled quicksand story I came up with while doing my Quickmas project.

Hope it brings comfort as 2024 opens its maw & starts to swallow us into its depths.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's 11PM. 1 hour left until Midnight. The night is New Year's Eve. The current year is about to be locked into the history books & the new year is about to roll out its red carpet. Many are preparing fireworks to launch, others are having parties to celebrate. Metis & Sansanna however, are having the idea to go out to sink deep into quicksand to have a celebration in their own way. Yes, they're going down for the new year instead of up.

Why would they sink down during the night of the last year? Well, there are crazier ideas... Regardless, Metis & Sansanna picked out their clothes to have their sink in, with Metis going for an insulated sports bra & booty shorts to shield her from the cold outside. Sansanna however, had chosen a very beautiful, and quicksand friendly ballgown. Yet Metis can barely hide her distaste for Sansanna's choice of clothing, as evident by her deadpan stare.

"Sheesh, how can you wear those frilly wind vulnerable things?" Asked Metis, as if scornful. "How can you stand to wear all that in the dead of winter?" Sansanna asks back. "Hey! I'm on almost every predator's menu!" Exclaimed Metis, her fists clenched and her teeth bared. "Snakes want my ass & tits, like-likes want to slurp my body, slime blobs...!" But Metis stopped, regaining her composure. "Are you finished?" Asked Sansanna.

"Yes..." Metis says. "Good, because I've proposed a location for us to sink in." Sansanna responds. "What do you say we head for the Giant's Harbor?" She then asks. "The Giant's Harbor?" Metis asks back. "Isn't that home to Olympus's Supreme Naval Force?" She then ponders. "Yes," Sansanna answers. "We however, will not be going to the Navy Base." She then adds. "The natural area is our destination then." Metis says. Sansanna nodded.

"Now let's go & sink before the clock hits midnight." She then says. With that, Metis & Sansanna step out the door of the former's room, then step out the front door, heading south to the aptly named Giant's Harbor. The harbor is so named because of its immense landscape, appearing similar to a large grassy plain, melded together with the marsh of lands when at the halfway mark en-route to the sea which the harbor borders naturally.

About 3/4s of the harbor is natural grass & marshland with the marsh meeting an estuary as the freshwater of the marsh meets the salty seas. The rest of it was transformed to be the Military base for Olympus's Supreme Naval Force, yet the base itself is made to collaborate with the nature of the area perfectly. Even so, it is also named due to the fact that giants like Gigas & Magnataur gather whenever they want to test their strength against one another.

In keeping with the giant aspect, the animals that live around the natural area are typically no smaller than a rhinoceros. Aside from rhinos, bison, moose, wildebeest hippopotamus, cape buffalo, even elephants roam the harbor's natural fields with hippos being majorly found in the waters, but where there are grazers, there are also predators; which consist of lions, wolves, tigers, even bears. Saltwater crocodiles live here, too, living in the estuary.

Although the grasslands of the Giant's Harbor is known to have plenty of quicksand pits to sink in thanks to the constant fighting between giants, it is actually the marshland of the harbor that is the real quicksand spot. They say the quicksand there is bottomless, but some of it goes down for 40 meters deep. So it often feels like there's no bottom, but really it just takes an extremely long time to touch the bottom of the quicksand itself. It's that deep & thick.

And there was also the fact that there was a very good view of the skies here, day & night. As such, this is all part of why Sansanna decided that she & Metis sink & enjoy the New Year's fireworks set to fly later on. It was a 20 minute trek from the house to the harbor, but a trek that was worth it. The vast majority of predators were not active at this time. Now it was just a matter of finding a suitable spot to sink in to descend into the new year. Literally.

Metis is observing for lions & wolves since they're the most likely beasts to be about in such an open area. But she spots none of them at the moment. She & Sansanna are safe. Such predators would be further away from the quicksand spots anyway. Though Metis had one small complaint about quicksanding at night. "How the heck are you supposed to find quicksand in the dark?" She asks, almost annoyed at the situation she & Sansanna are in currently.

"You just have to follow your feet," Sansanna said. "They will know the way." Metis shrugged. "Whatever rocks your boat I guess..." She said. The sisters trekked the harbor's grassland for at least 10 minutes, when Metis started to feel impatient. "We've been searching for 10 minutes without a sign," She says. "I say we just quit & watch the fireworks from our home's balcony." Sansanna was fixing to agree, when the sound of sloshing rang in her ears.

"Wait, I heard something." She says, following the sound. Metis followed Sansanna. The sound leads the sisters to the starting mouth of the estuary. But as Sansanna stepped forward to inspect the mouth of the area, her feet suddenly vanished into the ground. "Ooh, quicksand!" She exclaimed. "You found some already?" Asked Metis. As Sansanna nodded, Metis checked the quagmire that Sansanna is trapped in at this exact moment.

The quicksand was comprised of a very thick, and really salty mud. Which is to be expected since an estuary does comprise of fresh & saltwater. Metis also sees that the spot she & Sansanna are at is free of crocodiles, so neither were in danger of getting dragged out of the quicksand & end up as a crocodile's dinner. Metis soon stepped forward, getting caught in the quicksand herself, and standing next to her little sister. They then proceed to sink downward.

Right away, Metis & Sansanna take note of the thickness of the quicksand, almost comparing it to clay found within the anceint quarry even. In fact, it'll be 1 minute to midnight by the time Metis & Sansanna are chin deep. But, again, that's going to take a while. For the time being Metis & Sansanna sink in the quicksand slowly, the latter enjoying it more so. Yet Metis had noticed that she was in the path of Sansanna's spreading skirts.

In fact, Metis might not enjoy wearing dresses, but she seemed to like how they would splay out on the surface of quicksand & such. "Should I move so that you could be a quicksand flower?" Metis asked Sansanna. "Not necessary." Sansanna answers, revealing that her dress's skirt wasn't as big & poofy as she'd usually wear. The skirt only went to her knees, and while still poofy, wouldn't fully make for a really big display. So Metis never moved as a result.

Although it won't make for much of a nice splay out as a result, this did not matter to Sansanna, just as long as she can her skirts spread on the quicksand's surface to some degree. Nonetheless, the sisters look to the starry sky as the quicksand consumes them slowly, being pulled down each & every passing minute. It wasn't long before the two were at their knees, and Sansanna's skirt had started to spread out as the edges met the surface of the quicksand.

As Metis & Sansanna sink deeper still, the former could hear the howling of wolves. And to add to such a chorus, the roaring of lions. Farther north in the Great Plains, lions have their usual rivalry with hyenas. Down here however, there are no hyenas. So instead, lions have fierce rivalries with packs of wolves. But they were way out yonder, and Metis & Sansanna were in the quicksand of the marshy estuary, and neither would risk hunting near the estuary.

As a result, Metis & Sansanna were safe from those predators. And bears are most certainly hibernating, so there's no chance that they'll be seen at all until Spring rolls around. All this resulted in a peaceful descent in the quicksand for Metis & Sansanna, and their descent continued on without any sort of issue, too. Nonetheless, Sansanna saw fit to dock her breasts with Metis, much to the latter's flusteration. "W-What's gotten into you?!" Metis asks in shock.

"Oh, c'mon." Sansanna says. "This is fun, and you know it." She then adds, smirking as she pushes her breasts against Metis's still. "I'm 19, you're 18..." Metis started. "How can you have bigger breasts than me?" She then asked. Indeed, Metis was of the J-Cup family of breasts. Her sister Sansanna however, was of the K-Cup. It's definitely true that Metis & Sansanna are not the only busty girls in their family, but the breast envy is non-existent.

Nevertheless, Sansanna never did have an honest answer to Metis's question, but it didn't matter to Metis. She never did expect one anyway. What she does take note of is the quicksand being churned as she & Sansanna dock breasts with each other, loosening some of the thickness of the quicksand enough to make them descend a bit faster, but nowhere near enough to make it so they'll go under long before midnight hits. That wasn't possible.

At least, not right away in a matter of speaking. Nonetheless, Sansanna & Metis sank to their thighs, and only stopped docking each other once they felt the quicksand start to pull them down into its depths. "Whoa, we're churning the quicksand..." Metis said. "We'll be under before it's midnight..." "No we won't." Said Sansanna reassuringly. "This stuff's too thick to be churned to that level." She then adds, making Metis settle down some as the descent went on.

In minutes, the sister hit butt deep. Their thighs having been fully swallowed by the quicksand. Sansanna's skirt has splayed out nicely as well, despite Metis being in its path. But Sansanna just didn't care about that. All she cared about was going under the salt laced quicksand. Something Metis understood all too well. The only thing that stopped the docking was the fact that the quicksand pressed against their sweetspots in between their legs.

"Ugh, why does it always feel good down there...?" Asked Metis, her voice strained with groans. "Some things... Are best left unanswered..." Sansanna says. The fact that neither wore any proper panties only made things even more arousing for the sisters. Yet Sansanna seemed to embrace the feeling a little more than Metis did, and she had booty shorts on. Nevertheless, the quicksand kept on slowly pulling Metis & Sansanna down into its depths.

The quicksand swallowed their butts & both are now at the halfway mark in it. Metis felt the salt on its surface. More than Sansanna did, but she still felt bits of it on her skin. "I think the salt adds to the experience..." Metis says. "Yeah, and in a good way..." Sansanna says in agreement. As the two kept on sinking, more of the natural salt on the quicksand's surface was absorbed into the ground & added to the girls' enjoyable experience in their descent.

Sansanna noted that lights began to illuminate the sky above Thebes City, meaning that there's only 10 minutes left before things got underway for the big celebration to ring in the new year. "We're only halfway deep, and the lights are coming on." Sansanna said. "So what...?" Metis asks. "We've a... nice firework view..." She then said. "True..." Sansanna replies, her mind going back on the quicksand still sinking her & Metis down ever so slowly.

The quicksand however, was churned enough to swallow their midriffs without pause, and before long, Sansanna & Metis reach their big breasts, their other sweetspot in the quicksand. Yet here, a delay in the descent kicked in. Sansanna & Metis for the time being, started to float on the quicksand's surface rather than descend further at this time. "So now maybe we'll see midnight before going under..." Metis admits. "Seems so." Sansanna says.

Yet Metis was fine with that. In fact, she looked up at the starry sky once more, noting how clear it is, showing the stars in all their astrological majesty. This made Metis remember the time she relaxed & trained under such skies until she became fluent with the ever deadly PK Starstorm; something she was able to master effortlessly. Sansanna also knows this PSI power, but she has yet to reach the power that Metis has her share of the move at.

The quicksand soon begins to bubble, a sign of it loosening up so that Sansanna & Metis can continue downward into its depths. And not a moment too soon, as 5 minutes remained until the fireworks go off. Sansanna & Metis watch as their breasts are claimed by the quicksand, the two resume their slow descent into the depths. As the minutes continue to count down, so too do Sansanna & Metis keep on sinking downward. Soon, their breasts are under.

And it wasn't long before Sansanna & Metis are at their shoulders in the quicksand. In that time, 4 minutes had passed, and with 1 mere minute standing, it eventually turned into seconds. Sansanna & Metis however, did not stay shoulder deep for long as they too were swallowed, leaving them at their necks in merely 20 seconds. Metis & Sansanna soon glanced up at the sky, with only half a minute to go. In that time, the quicksand claimed their necks, too.

As they rest at chin deep, Sansanna & Metis both counted down the remaining 10 seconds of the year as they awaited the final pulls of the quicksand to take them down. And when they tilt their heads back, the clock finally struck midnight, and the sky was lit up with dozens upon dozens of fireworks. Metis & Sansanna then glanced at each other, smiling. "Happy New Year..." They say to each other, before the quicksand pulls them down more.

Finally, the quicksand rolled over their faces, swallowing them both whole & continuing to pull them down into its depths. Ordinarily, Sansanna & Metis would stay until they've at least hit the halfway mark. But this night, the quicksand was chilled to the point that it was almost cold. As a result, Sansanna & Metis swamp back up to the surface after sinking no deeper than 2 meters. The both managed to emerge from the quicksand & cling to the edge.

Sansanna grabbed her trusty staff that she had brought alongside her, jamming it into solid earth in front of her. Metis clung to Sansanna as she slowly worked herself & her older sister out of the thick grips of the quicksand. Neither were in the mood to go the whole 40 meters. Not at this time of the night, or season for that matter. Nonetheless, both made it out with little trouble, before teleporting back home & into the big bathroom in the house.

"Now I know why we rarely go quicksanding on Winter nights." Sansanna said. "At least we didn't get eaten by lions out there." Metis adds as she takes off her caked clothes & then gets into the hotspring bath to wash herself off. "That's a bonus indeed..." Said Sansanna as she too takes her clothes off to bathe. As they listen to the explosions of fireworks from the bathroom, Metis & Sansanna reflect how nice it was to sink into a new year.

The quicksand could've been warmer this is true, but to try out a new way to enter a new year, it was quite the experience. One that was worth trying again in the near future. For now though, this new year had to be gone through, and these two had high hopes for nothing but peace & prosperity for the new year that has come upon us all.
