The building was some twenty stories high. The ground floor was taken up by shops, above that were eight floors of offices with expensive apartments above that up. The way the balconies were arranged told me that there were only a few apartments on each floor. I walked up the stairs, past a rent-a-cop and entered the building. Ahead of me was a shopping passage, to my left was a closed door (that I assumed to be the entrance to the apartments) and a guard booth with another rent-a-cop. To my right was a reception area with a bank of elevators at the far wall. I turned to the receptionist whose eyes widened when she saw me. She raised a hand to her cover her mouth, \"Hey, you...\" For a moment I feared that she might actually call one of the guards to have me escorted from the premises, but then she checked herself. I pawed her the card I had been given and said, \"My name is Lisa. I have an appointment.\" \"Good afternoon, Miss.\" She flashed me a somewhat strained smile and put the card in a reader. She studied the screen for a moment and said somewhat grudgingly, \"Yes, you are expected. Elevator two please.\" She gave me a strange smile, \"Have a pleasant time.\" \"Ummm... thank you.\" I turned to the bank of elevators and headed for the open one. The door closed behind me and I rode up to the sixth floor. \"Now why does the floor number not surprise me?\" The door opened, I took a few steps forward and I faced another receptionist. \"Miss Lisa?\" \"Yes.\" \"Door 605, please.\" She waved to her left. \"Thank you.\" I headed to the indicated door and pressed the buzzer. The door clicked open and I entered. The small room contained only a bench, a low table with a few old magazines and a small desk with a computer screen. A waiting room, like you would find at a doctor's office. I waited for a few moments, when nothing happened, I checked the other door but found it locked. Since there was nothing else to do and I didn't have any idea how long I would have to wait, I sat down, wondering if I should look at one of the magazines. After a minute or so I picked one of them up and started leafing through it without paying any real attention to it. It was just something to keep my paws occupied.\n\nAfter about five nerve-wracking minutes the door opened. The wait had been just long enough for me to stop watching the door from the corner of my eye and actually turn my attention to the magazine. I was so startled by the sudden noise that I sent the magazine flying across the room. \"Miss Lisa?\" The woman asked. She had pale skin and her black hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She wore a black dress and high heels. My first impression was that she looked like a dominatrix in civilian clothing. She looked at the magazine on the floor, then back at me and grinned, \"Nervous?\" \"Yes. Ummm... to both questions.\" Her grin turned decidedly feral at my answer, she obviously enjoyed my discomfort, \"Are you ready?\" \"Yes.\" I stood up and held out my paw. I was a little surprised when she shook her head and explained, \"I'm not supposed to touch you.\" They way she looked me up and down left no doubt that she regretted that. I blushed furiously at her appraisal. \"Once you enter the next room, you will be our slave until we release you again. Do you know what that entails?\" \"Yes.\" \"All right, follow me, then.\" She turned around and walked back into the next room. I followed quickly. When the door clicked shut behind me, it sounded like a clap of thunder.\n\nThe room I found myself in looked much like an examination room in a hospital. There was a hospital bed, a desk and a few drawers and closets. \"First, your name is 'Jane' while you are here and you address me as 'Madam'. Understood?\" \"Yes...\" After a moment I added \"Madam.\" \"Good.\" She pointed at a dresser \"Jane, take off your clothes, everything and put it in there. No, leave the heels, but take off everything else.\" It felt strange and humiliating to be addressed by a name that was not my own. Well, I already had some experience since I had been renamed 'Lisa' recently, but for some reason this was different. After a moment I forced myself to say \"Yes, Madam.\" and walked over to where she had pointed. One look at her confirmed my suspicion that she would not give me any privacy and that I would have to undress right in front of her. I know I should have been much more used to this by now, but for some reason the way she looked at me made me embarrassed my greatly. Blushing furiously, I put my purse into the dresser and grabbed the hem of my dress. I had to take a few deep breaths to steady my nerves before I could make myself pull it up and over my head. I put it on a hanger. Her eyes seemed to grow an inch as she took in my now almost nude body. It took even more effort to pull my panties down. The scent of my sex hit me and I put the soaked panties away as quickly as possible. \"Is that all? No jewelry or anything?\" \"No, Madam.\" After a moment I remembered the rubber bands on my nipples and I blushed even more furiously than before. \"Just these.\" She considered me for a very long moment before she spoke, \"They look really good on you. It's a shame, really, but you'll have to take them off Jane.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" The rubber bands were very tight and my fingertips were slick which made them quite difficult to remove. I finally had to use my claws to get them off. My arousal increased considerably while I fumbled around with my already very sensitive breasts. That her eyes were glued to my breasts didn't help any, but I didn't dare to turn around. \"Close the dresser and give me the key.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" I closed the dresser and dropped the key into her outstretched hand. I took a step back and waited for her next command.\n\nShe took her time, looking me up and down and mumbled, \"Pity. You're so pretty and I'm not allowed to touch you.\" I blushed furiously at that. Finally she pointed at the table across the room. \"In this box you will find a few things to put on. Do so.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" I crossed the room and opened the box. Inside were several leather items and a small box on top. I took the various things and spread them on the table. Nothing I saw filled me with a lot of confidence about the things that were in store for me, but there was nothing that looked terribly dangerous either. There was a leather harness. It consisted of a leather and steel collar with a D-ring on one side and a small cuff opposite it. The cuff was just the right size for my tail; a leather strap that would run down my back connected it to a belt with two handcuffs and another smaller cuff for my tail. Two more straps connected the belt to two belt-like straps that would go around my thighs. Then there was a leather harness that looked very much like a dog muzzle, it was obviously for my head, complete with a penis-shaped gag and a blindfold. I did not relish the idea of putting all that on, it would leave me completely helpless if I did, but since I had decided to come here, I had to. Suddenly I was glad I had looked through the catalog of that mail-order shop for bondage gear. Knowing what all the items were for made them much less intimidating than thery would have been otherwise. There were also two cuffs for my ankles, connected by a short chain. The last item in the box was a meter-long leash.\n\n\"Open the small box first.\" I did. It contained three bright green rings made of a rubber-like material. \"Put one of the rings on your left thumb and the two others on your index and middle fingers.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" I did so. \"This is your emergency signal. Don't use unless you really have to. To activate it, push your thumb between your index and middle finger so that the rings touch. Let's test it.\" She held up a small device. When I arranged my fingers in the way she had said, a bright red lamp lit up on the device. She did touch me then, to help me adjust the rings so that the alarm would activate properly but not give a signal if I just balled my paw into a fist. When she was satisfied, she stepped back and said, \"Ok. Remember that. You may not be able to speak, so this may be your only reliable way to inform your master if you have problems. If you use it without a very good reason, he will consider you to have given up on the challenge. Understood?\" \"Yes, Madam.\" I hoped that I would not have to use this. \"Good. Now, Jane, put on the harness. Start with the collar. Leave the hand-cuffs for now.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" I answered and picked up the harness. The collar was open in the front, so I held the harness behind my back. I shook my head so my headfur fell over my face, then I settled the collar around my neck. It closed with a loud 'click'. A short tug confirmed that it was securely locked. The collar fit my neck snugly, not too tight but not loose either. Whoever my master for the day was, he knew my size. The wide leather restricted the movement of my head somewhat. \"That must have been why they took all those measurements during my examination.\" I reached behind me and pulled the belt around my waist. It rode rather high up, about level with my bellybutton. Like the collar it locked when I pressed the ends together and it fit me perfectly. Tight enough that it wouldn't shift easily, but not too unpleasant. The two straps around my thighs followed. \"Your tail next. Turn around so I can see what you are doing.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" \"Use one hand to pull your tail up.\" I did as she had commanded and snapped the cuff closed around it. Then I repeated the procedure with the cuff attached to the collar. I could wave the tip of my tail behind my head, but otherwise it was held completely immobile. The woman behind me giggled, \"That looks really cute, Jane. Your tail waving about like that.\" I blushed at that. \"The ankle cuffs come next. \"Yes, Madam.\" I picked them up from the table. When I began to kneel, she commanded, \"Don't bend your knees, Jane.\" Gritting my teeth, I obeyed. My back was still turned to her and when I bent down I realized that she would get a really good view of my privates. I blushed when I looked at her between my legs and saw the appreciative look on her face. I blushed even harder when she licked her lips. I cuffed my legs and stood up again as quickly as I could. \"The muzzle harness next.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" It took me a few moments to figure out which strap went where. \"Put the gag into your mouth and tighten the straps.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" My last words, at least for a while. I did as she had commanded. The gag filled my mouth almost completely, unpleasant but not too bad. It tasted of leather. I started drooling almost instantly. \"Attach the leash to your collar.\" I nodded and clipped the leash to the D-ring. \"Now the blindfold.\" A few deep breaths calmed my nerves enough to let me obey. The padded leather fit right over my eyes and my world descended into darkness. I could not see any light, not even a little bit. After a bit of fumbling I locked the blindfold in place. \"Now your paws. I'll help you with the second one.\" I closed one of the handcuffs around my left paw. A moment later the second one clicked shut around my right paw. I was completely helpless.\n\nThe woman took a step back. I could feel her eyes on my backside; they made me cringe and blush. If I wasn't already nude, I'd have said that she was undressing me with her eyes. \"Pretty.\" A minute or so later she commanded, \"Turn around.\" I did, very carefully, I didn't want to trip. Her soft whistle made me blush even more. My face burned and the fur on my muzzle stood on end. She sighed sadly, \"I'd really like to have some fun with you, my little Mousie... too bad my boss told me not to. I heard a step in front of me, and then there was a soft rustling. Suddenly I felt her breath on my sex. I shivered. \"You like that, don't you?\" I cringed in embarrassment as I realized that my sex was wet and hot, that tying myself up had turned me on even more than I had already been. She smacked her lips. \"You smell good.\" It took all my willpower to stand still. She moved her mouth up and down my sex, blowing air at it. She didn't touch me, but her lips could not have been more than a centimeter or two from my increasingly wet sex. What she was doing turned me on more and more. I nearly jumped out of my fur when her cell phone rang suddenly. I stumbled and only managed to keep upright because her hands steadied me. She stood up, there was more rustling, then she cursed softly, \"Shit. My boyfriend! I forgot to tell him I have to work late today!\" Her voice was low, I wasn't sure if she had just talked to herself or to me. \" Don't move!\" That command was obviously meant for me, her next words were directed at the phone (so I assumed, at least) \"Hello Andy.\" Steps, then the door opened. \"I'm sorry...\" Her voice was cut off when the door closed behind her. Suddenly I was alone. Completely alone and totally helpless. My feet suddenly felt very wobbly in the high heels I wore. I started panting in sudden fear. After a while I managed to calm myself down a bit. \"Stay calm! She'll be back in a minute. No need to worry.\" I waited and waited. I wondered what kept her, I didn't have any means of keeping time, but it seemed that she had been away for way too long now. Minutes passed, and I waited. There was nothing else I could do. I didn't dare to move; she had not told me to and in any case I was afraid that I'd trip and hurt myself. As much as I tried to keep calm, my nerves slowly started to get the better of me. I was starting to panic, alternating between trying to remember how to use the safety signal (and wondering if it would really work) and trying to keep myself from giving in and tripping it. Suddenly I heard Tammy's voice \"Remember, they will put you through all kinds of strange and sometimes unpleasant experiences. They will be testing your limits, but you will be perfectly safe. Always remember that.\" It couldn't have been her, of course, I was alone in the room, but it felt much more real than just a memory. Then I had an insight that calmed me considerably: Suddenly I was sure that the call had not been an accident, but that they had planned it. Probably to see if I freaked out if they put me in this situation. I remembered a similar 'coincidence' in one of the bondage stories I had read. She was probably just on the other side of the door, ready to help me if I really got into trouble. I tried to remember if there had been a security camera in this room. I didn't remember any, but then I had not looked for it. \"What was that!?!* \\_\" I had felt a breeze blow over my exposed sex. It felt as if someone who knelt in front of me had expelled his breath. \"\\_I'm alone, ain't I?\" I wondered, I had not heard anybody enter and there had not been anybody else in the room. I held my breath to listen, but all I could hear was the hammering of my own heart and the rushing of my blood. I blushed in embarrassment; I wanted to run, but I didn't dare to move. After a while air was blown over my sex again. And again and again. In a totally unpredictable pattern. Three breaths in quick succession; then a long pause; then a much shorter pause. It almost never came when I expected it. After a minute I realized that I was getting more and more turned on. I was panting, my sex felt hot and I could smell the musk of my arousal. The fur on my thighs began to feel cool when the breath blew over it and I realized that my juices must be dripping down the inside of my thighs. I cringed in shame.\n\nI was heartily glad when the door finally opened and the woman came back in. I wondered if I would ever learn her name. \"I'm sorry, Jane. That took a bit longer than I thought it would. You know how males are on the phone... I hope you didn't get bored too badly.\" She took the leash. Then she sniffed loudly and said (the grin in her voice was unmistakable), \"You had fun, didn't you? Naughty girl...\" I blushed at that, I could feel every hair on my muzzle stand on end. Suddenly I was glad for the blindfold; glad that I didn't have to look her in the eye. \"Let's go.\" I did my best to follow the light tug on the leash. Walking was difficult, I couldn't see anything and I had to take really small steps because of the short chain between my ankles. After only a few steps I realized that my hips would be moving rather sexily. As far as I could tell, we walked out of the rooms and back into the corridor. She held the doors for me. Out in the corridor (or so I assumed at least) we turned left and I realized that the receptionist there would see me as well once we walked around the corner. I stopped in shock, but a tug on the leash forced me to continue. I cringed when we turned another corner and a few steps later I heard an appreciative whistle and the cheerful voice of the receptionist, \"Nice catch, Shelly. What a piece of cheesecake!\" She giggled at her joke. \"Yes. Too bad the boss won't even let me touch her. Ah, well...\" Then I cringed when I heard one of the elevator doors open and I wondered if I was to be paraded in front of everybody who worked here. \"Nice.\" \"A male!\" My blush deepened, making me wonder if the fur on my muzzle would spontaneously catch flame and I took an involuntary step back. A sharp tug on the leash reminded me to stand still. \"Hi, Shelly!\" I could feel his gaze travel up and down my nude body, \"I knew we had a rat problem, but such a big one... The boss will be happy that you caught her.\" \"I hope so. I certainly hope I get a reward...\" \"And knowing you, I can just guess what you'll ask for... a piece of rat pie?\" Shelly, now I had a name for my keeper, laughed at that, \"How did you guess?\" \"Well, if you ever tried to keep your desires a secret, then you didn't do a very good job of it... Say, do you have a minute?\" \"Sure, Stan. I must not keep the boss waiting too long, but I guess I can spare a minute.\" \"Great! Say, could I... feel her up a little?\" She left the question hanging for a very long moment \"Please say no!\" before she answered, \"Sorry, but no touching. Feel free to look...\" I had to stand still for a minute or more while Stan walked around me. There was no way I could hide any of my normally private parts from his view. My blush deepened; then it got even hotter when I realized that my cunt was at least as hot as my muzzle. And that it probably drooled as much as my mouth did, which was quite a bit. \"Hmmm... she smells good. Do you know which perfume she's using?\" \"We'd have to ask, but I think its 'Eau de Femme'.\" \"Aha... My favorite.\" My ears would have grown even redder at that if that had been possible. I was greatly relieved when Shelly finally announced, \"Sorry, Stan, we mustn't keep the boss waiting any longer. Come, Jane.\" We walked forward a few steps, and then we waited again. I could feel Stan's eyes and those of the receptionist on my bare back, on my ass, my tailhole. Without my tail to cover at least that bit, I felt more naked than ever. Then one of the elevator doors opened and I followed Shelly inside. I breathed a sigh of relief when the door closed behind me. I was glad the male had not touched me, and yet... a small part of me was disappointed.\n\n\\#####\n\n\" Eeep!\" Shelly was on me the moment the elevator's door closed. Her right hand reached for my crotch and at least two of her fingers slipped into me while her left hand grabbed my breast. I squeaked in surprise and shock and jumped back only to crash into the wall. I almost lost my footing but Shelly's hands steadied me. She scolded me, \"Hold still!\" bent down and began to lick and suck my breasts. My ears must have started smoking. I wanted nothing but to get away, but I forced myself to relax. It wasn't as if I had any say in the matter, tied up and gagged as I was, and I reminded myself that it couldn't be more than a few moments before the elevator door would open once more. Once I got over the worst of my shock I had to admit that as much as it embarrassed me to admit, Shelly did know what she was doing. Her fingers seemed to drawn directly to all the right spots. Electric shivers ran up and down my spine. I had been quite aroused already and in moments I began to pant and muffled squeaks of pleasure tried to force their way around the gag. It can't have been more than a few moments even if it seemed to take much longer, but when the elevator finally stopped and the door opened, I was close to cumming. As best as I can tell, the elevator ride had taken much longer than it should have, given that the building we were in had only 20 stories. Shelly pinched my clit one last time, almost \" Almost!\" taking me over the edge and removed her hand from my dripping sex, letting her fingers linger for an endlessly teasing moment. I groaned in frustration and Shelly giggled. I couldn't see her, of course, but that slurping noise could only be one thing \"Yummy! Yummy!\" I blushed harder. Shelly led away and the elevator closed behind us. We walked a few meters before she stopped me again, \"Let me make sure you look all right.\" Shelly walked around me, while her hands roamed all over my body, feeling me up as much as checking the restraints and smoothing down my fur. For some weird reason the prohibition against touching me seemed to have been lifted the moment we stepped into the elevator. Or maybe we were finally in an area that didn't have a security camera and she felt safe to do what she wanted rather than what she had been told to do. After what seemed like an eternity, she declared \"Fantastic! You look good enough to eat, my little mousie!\" She giggled \"Maybe when my boss is done with you...\" There was a hint of a promise in what she had left unsaid. I was not sure if I was more scared or eager to find out. In any event, I didn't have time to think about it. Shelly grabbed the leash and pulled me forward. She opened a door and I followed her into the room beyond.\n\nWe walked a few meters into the room, which, as far as I could tell, seemed to be quite spacious, and stopped. A male voice somewhere in front of us asked \"Yes, Shelly?\" I shivered and blushed; I could feel his eyes roam over my nude body. My very exposed and aroused body. The heat in my sex almost matched that of my cheeks. I didn't recognize the male's voice and yet, I did. Somewhere deep in my bones I felt that I had heard his voice before, but I could not put my finger on it. \"Jane is here to... see you, Sir.\" The amusement in Shelly's voice was impossible to miss as was the barely suppressed giggle. I guess she really liked her own joke. \"Thank you, Shelly.\" The dismissal was clear, as was a note of unyielding will. I shivered once more as I realized that even if I was not tied up and helpless, suddenly knew that I would do whatever he commanded me to do. \"Thank you, Sir.\" Shelly turned and walked away, closing the door as she left the room.\n\nEnd of Episode 22\n\n---\n\nI wrote a part of this chapter a long time ago. At that point I had planned for this chapter to be chapter 8 and Lydia did not yet have any experience with bondage at this point. The setting was similar, but her reactions were slightly different. I rewrote this a little, but I kept as much as possible. Anyway, here is the first version of the sequence:\n\nCatfood - Episode 8 - Tryout day\n\nI checked the address once more. It was the correct one, a building some twenty stories high. Some shops and office space in the lower floors, expensive apartments higher up. I walked up the stairs, past a rent-a-cop and entered the foyer. I walked to the receptionist, pawed her the card I had been given and said \"Lydia Catbait. I have an appointment.\" \"Good afternoon, Miss.\" She flashed me a smile and put the card in a reader. She studied the screen for a moment and said \"You are expected. Elevator two please.\" She gave me a strange smile \"Have a pleasant time.\" \"Ummm... thank you.\" I turned to the bank of elevators and headed for the open door. \"Why did she make that comment? Did she know why I am here or did she just say it like that?\" The door closed and I rode up to the sixth floor. \"Now why does the floor number not surprise me?\" The door opened, I took a few steps forward and I faced another receptionist. \"Miss Lydia Catbait?\" \"Yes.\" \"Door 605.\" She waved to her left. \"Thank you.\" I headed to the indicated door and pressed the buzzer. The door clicked open and I entered. The small room contained only a bench, a low table with a few old magazines and a small desk with a computer screen. A waiting room. I sat down, wondering if I should look at one of the magazines. I picked one up and started leafing through it without paying any real attention to it. It was just something to keep my paws occupied.\n\nAfter about five nerve-wracking minutes the door opened. I was so startled, I sent the magazine flying across the room. \"Miss Catbait?\" The woman asked. She had pale skin, her black hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She wore a black dress and high heels. She looked at the magazine on the floor, then back at me and asked \"Nervous?\" \"Yes. Ummm... to both questions.\" She grinned, obviously enjoying my discomfort \"Are you ready?\" \"Yes.\" I stood up and held out my paw. I was a little surprised when she shook her head and explained \"I'm not supposed to touch you.\" They way she looked me up and down left no doubt that she regretted that. I blushed furiously at her appraisal. \"Once you enter the next room, you will be our slave until we release you again. Do you know what that entails?\" \"Yes.\" \"All right, follow me, then.\" She turned around and walked back into the next room. I followed quickly. When the door clicked shut behind me, it sounded like a clap of thunder.\n\nThe room looked a bit like an examination room in a hospital. There was a hospital bed, a desk and a few drawers and closets. \"First, your name is Jane and you address me as 'Madam'. Understood?\" \"Yes...\" After a moment I added \"Madam.\" \"Good.\" She pointed at a dresser \"Jane, take off your clothes, shoes, everything and put it in there.\" It felt strange and humiliating to be addressed by a name that was not mine. After a moment I forced myself to say \"Yes, Madam.\" and walked over there. One look at her confirmed my suspicion that she would not give me any privacy, that I would have to undress right in front of her. Blushing furiously, I put my purse into the dresser and started to unbutton my blouse. I took it off and put it on a hanger. My skirt followed, then my bra. It took a bit of effort to pull my panties down and put them away. Then I turned to face the woman. \"Is that all? No jewelry or anything?\" \"Yes, Madam.\" \"Close it and give me the key.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" I closed the dresser and dropped the key into her outstretched hand. I took a step back and waited for her next command. She took her time, looking me up and down and mumbled \"Pity. You're so pretty and I'm not allowed to touch you.\" I blushed furiously at that. Finally she pointed at the table across the room. \"In the box you will find a few things to put on. Do so.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" I walked there and opened the box. Inside were several leather items and a small box on top. I took the various things and spread them on the table. Nothing I saw filled me with confidence. There was a leather harness.

I did not relish the idea of putting all that on, it would leave me completely helpless if I did, but since I had decided to come here, I had to. I was glad I had found that mail-order shop for bondage gear. Knowing what all the parts were took away the edge of my fear. There were also two cuffs for my ankles, connected by a short chain. The last item in the box was a meter-long leash. \"Open the small box first.\" I did. It contained three bright green rings made of a rubber-like material. \"Put one of the rings on your left thumb and the two others on your index and middle fingers.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" I did so. \"This is your emergency signal. Don't use unless you really have to. To activate it, push your thumb between your index and middle finger so that the rings touch.\" She held up a small device. When I tried it, a bright red lamp lit up on the device.

Now, Jane, put on the harness, starting with the collar. Leave the hand-cuffs for now.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" I said and picked up the harness.

A short tug confirmed that it was locked. The collar fit my neck snugly, not too tight but not loose at all. The wide leather restricted the movement of my head somewhat.

The woman behind me giggled \"That looks really cute, Jane. Your tail waving about like that.\" I blushed at that. \"The ankle cuffs come next. \"Yes, Madam.\" I picked them up from the table. When I began to kneel, she commanded \"Don't bend your knees, Jane.\" Gritting my teeth, I obeyed. My back was still turned to her and when I bent like that she would get a really good view of my privates. I blushed when I looked at her between my legs and saw the appreciative look on her face. I blushed even harder when she licked her lips. I cuffed my legs and stood up again as quickly as I could. \"The muzzle harness next.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" It took me a few moments to figure out which strap went where.\" \"Put the gag into your mouth and tighten the straps.\" \"Yes, Madam.\" My last words, at least for a while. I did as she had commanded. The gag filled my mouth almost completely, unpleasant but not too bad. It tasted of leather. I started drooling almost instantly. \"Attach the leash to your collar.\" I nodded and clipped the leash to the D-ring. \"Now the blindfold.\" A few deep breaths calmed my nerves enough to let me obey. The padded leather fit right over my eyes and my world descended into darkness. I could not see any light, not even a little bit. After a bit of fumbling I locked the blindfold in place. \"Now your paws. I'll help you with the second one.\" I closed one of the handcuffs around my left paw. A moment later the second one clicked shut around my right paw. I was completely helpless.\n\nThe woman took a step back. I could feel her eyes on my backside, they made me cringe and blush. If I wasn't already nude, I'd have said that she was undressing me with her eyes. \"Pretty.\" A minute or so later she commanded \"Turn around.\" I did, very carefully, I didn't want to trip. Her soft whistle made me blush even more. My face burned and the fur on my muzzle stood on end. She sighed sadly \"I'd really like to have some fun with you, Mousie... too bad my boss told me not to. A step in front of me, then soft rustling. Suddenly I felt her breath on my sex. \"You like that, don't you?\" I cringed in embarrassment as I realized that my sex was damp, that tying myself up had somehow excited me. Excited me a lot more than I thought possible. She smacked her lips \"You smell good.\" It took all my willpower to stand still. She moved her mouth up and down my sex, blowing air at it. She didn't touch me, but her lips could not have been more than a centimeter or two from my increasingly wet sex. What she was doing excited me more and more. I nearly jumped out of my fur when her cell phone rang. I stumbled and only managed to keep upright because her hands steadied me. She stood up, there was more rustling, then she cursed softly \"Shit. My boyfriend! I forgot to tell him I have to work late today!\" Her voice was low, I wasn't sure if she had just talked to herself or to me. \"Don't move!\" That was obviously meant for me, her next words were directed at the phone (so I assumed, at least) \"Hello Andy.\" Steps, then the door opened \"I'm sorry...\" The door closed behind her. Suddenly I was alone. Completely alone and helpless. I started panting in sudden fear. After a while I managed to calm myself down a bit. \"Stay calm! She'll be back in a minute. No need to worry.\" I waited and waited. I wondered what kept her, I didn't have any means of keeping time, but it seemed that she had been away for way too long now. Minutes passed, I waited. There was nothing else I could do. I didn't dare to move, she had not told me to and in any case I was afraid that I'd trip and hurt myself. As much as I tried to keep calm, my nerves slowly started to get the better of me. I was starting to panic, alternating between trying to remember how to use the safety signal (and wondering if it would really work) and trying to keep myself from giving in and tripping it. Suddenly I heard Tammy's voice \"Remember, they will put you through all kinds of strange and sometimes unpleasant experiences. They will be testing your limits, but you will be perfectly safe. Always remember that.\" It couldn't have been her, of course, I was alone in the room, but it felt much more real than just a memory. Then I had an insight that calmed me considerably: Suddenly I was sure that the call had not been an accident, but that they had planned it. Probably to see if I freaked in such a situation. I remembered a similar 'coincidence' in one of the bondage stories I had read. She was probably just on the other side of the door, ready to help me if I really got into trouble, I tried to remember if there had been a security camera in this room. I didn't remember any, but then I had not looked for it. \"What was that!!!\" I had felt a breeze blow over my exposed sex. It felt as if someone who knelt in front of me had expelled his breath. \"I'm alone, ain't I?\" I wondered, I had not heard anybody enter and there had not been anybody else in the room. I held my breath to listen, but all I could hear was the hammering of my own heart and the rushing of my blood. I blushed in embarrassment, I wanted to run, but I didn't dare to move. After a while it came again. And again. In a totally unpredictable pattern. Three breaths in quick succession, then a long pause, then a much shorter pause. It almost never came when I expected it. After a minute I realized that I was getting more and more turned on. I was panting, my sex felt hot and I could smell the musk of my arousal. The fur on my thighs began to feel cool when the breath blew over it and I realized that my juices must be dripping down the inside of my thighs. I cringed in shame.\n\nI was heartily glad when the door opened and the woman came in. I wondered if I would ever learn her name. \"I'm sorry, Jane. That took a bit longer than I thought. You know how males are on the phone... I hope you didn't get bored too badly.\" She took the leash. Then she sniffed loudly and said (the grin in her voice was unmistakable) \"You had fun, didn't you? Naughty girl...\" I blushed at that, I could feel every hair on my muzzle stand on end. Suddenly I was glad for the blindfold, that I didn't have to look at her face. \"Let's go.\" I did my best to follow the light tug on the leash. Walking was difficult, I couldn't see anything and I had to take really small steps because of the short chain between my ankles. After only a few steps I realized that my hips would be moving rather sexily. As far as I could tell, we walked out of the rooms and back into the corridor. She held the doors for me. Out in the corridor (or so I assumed at least) we turned left and I realized that the receptionist there would see me as well. I stopped in shock, but a tug on the leash forced me to continue. I cringed when we turned another corner and a few steps later I heard an appreciative whistle and the cheerful voice of the receptionist \"Nice catch, Shelly. What a piece of cheesecake!\" She giggled at her joke. \"Yes. Too bad the boss won't let me touch her. Ah, well...\" Then I cringed when I heard one of the elevator doors open and I wondered if I was to be paraded in front of everybody who worked here. \"Nice.\" \"A male!\" I blushed some more, wondering if the fur on my muzzle would spontaneously catch flame and took an involuntary step back. A sharp tug on the leash reminded me to stand still. \"Hi, Shelly!\" I could feel his gaze travel up and down my nude body \"I knew we had a rat problem, but such a big one... The boss will be happy that you caught her.\" \"I hope so. I certainly hope I get a reward...\" \"And I can just guess what you'll ask for... A piece of rat pie?\" Shelly, now I had a name for my keeper, laughed at that \"How did you guess?\" \"Well, I do know you... Say, do you have a minute?\" \"Sure, Stan. We must not keep the boss waiting too long, but I guess I can spare a minute.\" \"Great! Say, could I... feel her up a little?\" She left the question hanging for a very long moment \"Please say no!\" before she said \"Sorry, but no touching. Feel free to look...\" I had to stand still for a minute or more while he walked around me. There was no way I could hide any of my normally private parts from their view. I blushed, then I blushed even more when I realized that my cunt was at least as hot as my muzzle. And that it probably drooled as much as my mouth did, which was quite a bit. \"Hmmm... she smells good. Do you know which perfume she's using?\" \"We'd have to ask, but I think it's 'Eau de Femme'.\" \"Aha... My favorite.\" My ears would have grown even more red at that if that had been possible. I was greatly relieved when Shelly announced \"Sorry, Stan, we mustn't keep the boss waiting any longer. Come, Jane.\" We walked forward a few steps, then we waited again. I could feel Stan's eyes and those of the receptionist on my bare back, on my ass, my tailhole. Without my tail to cover at least that bit, I felt more naked than ever. Then one of the elevator doors opened and I followed Shelly inside. I breathed a sigh of relief when the door closed behind me. I was glad the male had not touched me, and yet... a small part of me was disappointed.\n\nEnd of Episode 8*" } ]

Irritably the demonic fox shot out his paw, silenceing the morning alarm. Slowly he stretched out with a yawn letting his cramped muscles get some blood flowing in them instead of hitting the snooze as usual. A second yawn followed his first when he cracked his eyes, only to see twin emeralds peering back at him.\n\n\"Good morning Hun.\" A seductive voice purred at him. Smiling he wrapped his arms around the white tigress next to him, pulling her close.\n\n\"Good morning to you too.\" He replied running his fingers through her long hair. \"Where you watching me sleep again?\" He asked. Blushing she nodded before nuzzling under his chin. \"I can't be that interesting when I'm asleep.\" But she chose to ignore his statement. She had worked the night shift yet again for that old croc that was her boss. Against his better judgement he questioned her on her night. \"And how was work?\"\n\n\"It was fine.\" Was all she said. They had called each other three times that night. Her boss didn't come in until she was just about to leave, so he didn't know what she was hiding, but he was going to find out. Ten minutes passed before he could get her to talk about it, and when she did it was like a damn burst. When she had finished ranting, the two of them were sitting up, his mismatched wings spread out behind him. He always felt better after a good rant, and hoped that she would to. She then smiled, the one she only let him see... \"Thank you.... for listening.\"\n\nNodding he hugged her close, happy to have helped in his small way. \"Any time Hun.\" They sat like that holding each other a while talking about work and what they had done while apart. At least until his second alarm clock, the one across the room went off. Groaning he got out of bed and crossed the carpeted floor silencing this alarm like the first. Turning around he saw his kittens eyes where roaming, so he decided to tease her a little. \"Naughty girl, looking at me like that... what would your mother think?\" He chuckled, covering himself up with his paws.\n\nShe grinned at him slyly, voice thick with sarcasm. \"If your going to walk around nude, how can you expect me not to look?\" She asked purring at him.\n\nRemoving his paws he walked back to the bed, watching her.. watch him. Sitting on the well worn comforter he kissed her tenderly, savoring those soft, sweet lips against his. Reluctantly he broke thier kiss whispering in her ear, \"Thank you for a wonderful start to my morning.\"\n\nHer cheeks colored as she looked away droping her voice below his. \"I... I'm nothing special...\"\n\nSurpressing a growl he cupped her chin and forced her to look up at him again. \"You are to me.... more then anything...\" He wasn't sure, but as she leaned forward to kiss him, he thought he saw her eyes watering.\n\nAs the pulled away she trailed her nail down his chest. He smiled nipping at her fingers lightly not noticing her tail snake out from under the sheets. Turning just a little, she ran it under his nose. \"Your going to be late.\" She teased.\n\nNostrals flaring, he shivered taking in her scent. Pulling her closer once more, he nipped at her neck, dragging his fangs. \"You know what that does to me.\"\n\nShe gave him a look of total innocence scooting away slightly. Had he not known her as well as he did... or seen her eyes lower to his lap for just an instance to see his 'reaction' he might have believed it to. He stood up, getting out of bed only to hear her wolf whistle at him. He stuck out his tounge and blew her a kiss before bending over to put on his pants. He nearly yelped in surprise when she pinched his butt almost falling over. They laughed as he got ready, kissing once more as he departed for work.\n\nOnce he was gone she sighed curling up in the bed, growing lonely already. With a sigh she pulled his pillow against her chest, breathing in his lingering scent. For a while she stared at her arm, looking from one stripe to another trying to sleep. it wasn't until she felt hot air on the back of her neck she realized she wasn't alone. Letting go of the pillow, she spun around to see her silvery fox grinning at with eyes full of mischief. He had already removed his shirt and shoe's, so he pulled back the sheets and got back into bed with her. Almost reflexively she attached to him, clinging in spite of herself her voice breaking a little, \" Arn't you... supposed to be... at work?\" She asked hesitently.\n\nHe nodded slowly running a paw along her cheek. \"I called in sick.\"\n\nFor a second her heart skipped a beat. \"You know you shouldn't do that.\" She said, but she couldn't fully surpress her squeel. He nodded again as she nuzzles into him, pawing at his chest lightly. They both knew he didn't care about things like 'should', he did what he wanted, and only what he wanted. So even if she had chastened him, she smiled in the knowledge he wanted to be with her more then anything else. Holding her close his paw ran along her back, scratching and rubbing her gently. Purring deeply, she pawed at his chest, kneeding it softly. Then she noticed something else... being this close she realized how well he had been controling himself, but pressed against him, she couldn't but help notice how... awake... he was. She blushed deeply deciding to make the morning... interesting.\n\nFully relaxed he didn't notice her soft kneeding was getting lower until she closed her paw around his manhood. Shivering he looked down at her trying not to pant. \"you.. don't have to.\"\n\nShe smiles sweetly and kissed his cheek and looked back at him. \"I know.\"\n\nGroaning slightly as she squeezed him, he lay back on the pillows. He knew better then to argue with her about this, not that he really wanted to. Rubbing his shaft gently, she kissed at his chest inching lower. By the time she came to his throbbing member, it was already leaking for her. Eyes on him, her tounge flicked out and as he shuddered, she cleaned him off. Then with an agonizing slowness she took him into her mouth, sucking at him, milking his cock. His throaty groans made her wet with longing.\n\nHardly able to speak... hell think, he pulled back the blankets so he could at least see all of her. His mind tried to form some kind of thought but before he could put it to words, she swallowed him. All thinking vanished as she took him into her throat, gaging slightly as he head bobbed, paws rubbing his balls.\n\nIt was a few minutes later he realized she was next to him licking his cum from her lips. Before he could say anything he heard her swallow loudly, a 'mmmmm' sound escaping her parted lips. Dtill dazed he held her as she curled into his arms. Closing her eyes she rested her head on his chest purring contently. For a while he rubbed her back again, but only until he noticed his paws had found thier way to her rear. Cupping her smooth behind he squeezed her close. His kitten blushed as she felt his length against her belly. \"You.... dont have...\", But he cut her off, sliencing her with a kiss. His tounge then pushed into her mouth and they tasted each other. Reaching over the side of the bed he made her eyes go wide. As he clipped his leash on her collar, she realized just how much he had been holding back.\n\nSlipping his paw between her legs he began to rub her moist slit. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head as he touched her. Instinctively she took ahold of his cock once more, but a tug at her neck stopped her. His tounge circled around her ear as he whispered. \"No my sweet Sati..... its my turn to play with you.\"\n\nWhimpering loudly she released him giving herself over to his total and absolute control. He took his time then rubbing her clit. Rolling her over he began to kiss at her breasts. using his free paw he cupped one of those beautiful breasts, kneeding and squeezing it as his teeth closed on a nipple. She cried out squirming under his attentions as he drank some of her delicious milk.\n\nTaking his time he enjoyed every inch of his love, kissing and licking, sucking and gently biting until she was left breathless and covered in a thin layer of sweat. Lowering himself he pushed her legs open wide and pressed his muzzle to her heat. Rolling out his long tounge he licked her, and with out warning her body spasmed drenching his face in her love juices.\n\nWithout pause he continued to lick at her, tasting her sweet nectar. Then directing her to hold herself open he slid his tounge inside. She sreamed out as his tounge snaked inside of her, wiggling as deep as it could. Bucking she rode his face squeezing her breasts as she came again for him.\n\nOnce she regained her sences she pleaded with him, voice filled with a desperate need. \"Please... take me...\" She whimpers loudly when he didn't move. Rolling over she stuck her rear in the air lifting her tail. \"Please... I want... I... need you inside me...\" Still he did not move. Crying out she tried to rub her ass against him beging for him. Finally she droped her voice so low, he had to strain to hear her. \"Please.... please my love.... my Master... please make me yours all over again...\"\n\nHe grined widely as he tugged lightly on her leash moving into position behind her. Taking ahold of himself he rubbed his tip against her dripping petals. Pressing himself against her he gave her just a moments notice as he slamed himself deep inside her.\"OH GOD YES!\" She cried out, pushing back against him hard. Squeeling loudly her pussy tightened around him as he began to ram into her.\n\nIn shear extasy they made sweet, fierce love. Barely able to speak as she squeeled he was able to make out two words that escaped her lips. \"All...... please....\" He was going to give it all to her anyway, but he loved to hear her beg for it. Taking ahold of her bucking hips, her pulled her back hard. And with a savage thrust forward, he forced his swollen knot inside her spasming pussy. Almost unable to breath she cried out, shuddering at having his full length inside of her once more. Riding her hard, he pressed himself onto her back draging his fangs across her soft neck.\n\nTime slowed to a stop around them then. And for one beautiful moment their two souls touched, becoming one. She screams shook the walls as he bit down on her neck, spraying his hot seed deep inside her. Convulsing she rocked against him, caoting his cock and balls with her honey, locked together in a shared orgasm. Wave after wave of blissful pleasure washed over them as the collapsed together onto the bed as he held her tight.\n\nShard reached for her collar but she put her paw around his still breathless and panting heavily. \"Please... leave it on... just for a... little longer... Sir...\"\n\nHe nodded proud to have one such as her.... someone he could both own and love without reserve. Someone he knew loved him back. He knew he didn't need to say it.... but he did anyway as he began to rub her belly. \"I love you Hun.\"\n\nShe turned her head to look at him. With a smile she purred in that same seductive voice from when he just woke up. \"I love you to... daddy.\"\n\nHe blushed as his paw ran across her belly, and for a moment... he thought he felt it kick." } ]

It read 3:24 A.M. He shook his head and growled.He thought to himself,\"Fuck!! I should really kick these habits of mine they will get me trouble one day.\" He then reached in between his matress and boxsprings and pulled a metal tin with an image of a tiger jumping through a wall of fire on top of it. He took off the top and a strong scent wafted out of the tin and almost immedialty filled the room. He sighed again and pulled out a little baggie and a pack of papers. He chuckled to himself remembering his earlier thought and of how his parents had died from the same exact habit except worse. He began to fill the paper with a very potent form of marijuana and then rolled it up into a joint. He then rolled over with a yawn and opened his side stand drawer pulling out a lighter and lit the joint taking a puff from it and smiling. He had tried to kick that habit for about 4 months then the need just became worse and he had started up again.\n\nWhen he was done he laid back in bed feeling light-headed and rather good.He sighed and looked at the digital clock beside his bed again and it read 4:30 A.M.. He sighed, got up standing on the floor and looked around his room. He saw the same thing he saw everyday, skateboarding trophies, posters up on the wall, a couch across the room, a T.V. and a game console which he hardly ever used anymore. He grabbed his stereo remote and turned it on and suddenly a really loud heavy metal music came blaring out of the speakers. He screamed at the sudden change in sound and turned it down a little bit.He then stood up and walked out of his room and down into the bathroom.He stood infront of the full body mirror attached to the door and sighed. He was a tiger morph with the basic coloring pattern, orange stripes against black fur,(or is it the other way around) standing about 5 ft 4 in. and of a build that would basically tell you that he hadn't done much work in his life except what he needed to do.He laughed thinking of something then turned on the shower. He walked back into his room and turned up the stereo pretty sure that the soundproof fabric he had stuck inside his walls would drown out the music from his neighbors.\n\nTiger stepped into the shower and sighed as the hot water drenched his fur and made his muscles relax.He then growled to himself as he felt an old injury make itself known.He dropped to one knee from the sudden pain but then shoved it to the back of his mind and continued to get on with his shower. He finished his shower and stepped out of the stall sitting down on the edge of the tub and began drying himself off with a towel. He didn't dry completely though because when he ran the towel over his sheath he felt the sudden urge to paw himself off. He sighed and placed the towel on the floor and placed his right paw on his sheath and began to move his paw up and down across it. He growled lightly to himself, (still hearing the music blare from his stereo) enjoying the feel once again of a daily activity.He continued to growl as his cock began to slowly grow and poke from it's sheath. He stopped midway through and wrapped the towel around himself hoping his brother wouldn't walk out of his room and stop him in the hall or something. He made his way back into his room and layed back on the bed removing the towel to reveal to himself his still stiff 10 inch cock, wanting attention, leaking pre from the top.He smiled to himself and slowly ran a fuzzy finger down from the tip to the base and back up again, then collecting some pre from the tip and spreading it across his cock to use as lube. He sighed and wrapped his hand around his cock and began to pump on it slowly at first then speeding up.\n\nHe layed back on the bed slowly getting lost in a world of ecastacy due to the drug still working it's magic on his mind.He growled as he began to feel the usual sensation akin to an explosion inside his groin area. He growled as he continued to pump away at his meat After a few more minutes he felt it hit him.He sat up and almost fell foward off his bed from the feeling. He placed his paw infront of his tip and caught the white sticky strands of cum on his paw. He sighed and laid back on the bed slowly coming down from the heights of pleasure. He brought his hand up to his muzzel wondering what his juice tasted like he slowly licked at what was spread across his hand. He found he liked the taste and proceeded to lick his hand clean. After he was done he laid back in bed thinking to himself wondering how other males tasted he decided he would call up a well known gay friend and find out for himself tommorrow.\n\n\\\\\\Hoped you liked it...this was may first story like I said earlier that I have wrote in over 3 years.So if it sucked tell me if you liked it tell me.I'm not afraid of peoples thought's.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*" } ]

Experiencing any problems with his new arm and leg?\"\n\n\"Not a single one. In fact he says both work better than his original limbs.\" Kaitlynn smiled and kissed the lapin on the cheek. \"We both owe you our eternal gratitude for your help, me especially for all the prosthetic organs you created to replace the ones I lost.\"\n\nLimly smiled and blushed. \"Well it seemed the least I could do for you two after all that you went through.\" She raised an eyebrow as a thought came to her. \"But seriously how the schmed did you know where to find me?\"\n\n\"A computer savvy friend of mine was hired by your guys to test out the security of this place's mainframe. Happened to come across your name on the duty roster while he was snooping around.\" Kaitlynn looked at her lapin friend quizzically. \"Though I can't quite comprehend what could possibly motivate you to move house and come back planetside so unexpectedly.\"\n\n\"Well, the press has been hounding me like rabid dogs, 'scuse the phrase, for the last month and some, so I figured the only way I was ever gonna get enough peace to finish this stage of my project was if I temporarily transferred to another lab.\" Limly rolled her eyes and sighed. \"So what brings you out at a time like this?\"\n\n\"Boss gave me the night off, thought it was high time we hook up and have a go at rekindling the embers of our friendship.\"\n\nThe vixen looked over at her pink lapin friend and ran a paw down her lopped ears. \"After all, things are last beginning to look up for me again, and you know how I hate just leaving relationships at a loose end.\"\n\n\"Don't I ever.\" Limly smiled and wrapped her paw around Kaitlynn's waist. \"I've missed you a lot too.\"\n\n\"Then what say you direct us to somewhere intimate so I can fill you in on what you've been missing?\" Kaitlynn playfully slapped her on the back. \"Come on, I'll drive us!\"\n\nAt that the bunny abruptly stopped and folded her wings around herself in a rather defensive manner.\n\n\"Erm, no offence Kaitlynn but do you really have to? I still haven't forgotten the last time I let you get me on a slider bike.\" Limly shivered. \"I tell you, the whole time I felt like at any moment we were going to do a live re-enactment of the end of Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell.'\"\n\nKaitlynn just looked back and grinned.\n\n\"Well you needn't worry, I've got myself a new set of wheels now.\" She said as she closed her eyes and contacted somebody via her cerebral link.\n\n\\\\Alright No. 7, we're ready to go.\\\\\n\nLimly suddenly became aware of a steady thumping coming somewhere from the left while Kaitlynn's grin became decidedly slyer.\n\n\"Or perhaps I should say feet.\"\n\nThe pink lapin looked at her friend in puzzlement until she heard a slight 'thud' and turned around to catch sight of something quite large leaping off the roof of the lab complex and sailing majestically through the air to land in front of them with surprisingly little sound.\n\nOn instinct Limly initially took a step back, only to stop dead when she got a good look at the thing and found it to be an eight metre long, quadruped mekanik, modelled in the likeness of a non-anthro panther. The body and head were painted a sleek shade of black while the legs and the tail had been left as their default silver colour, save for the two front knee joints which were emblazoned with a large neon green 7.\n\nThe robot shook its head in a rather feline-like manner and stood waiting patiently as Kaitlynn turned back to Limly and placed her paws on her hips. \"So, having second thoughts yet?\"\n\nLimly just stood there with her eyes as big as dinner plates and her jaw hanging open in shocked surprise.\n\n\"Oh by Deus....is...is that one of the M.C.A.T.S.?\"\n\nAs a response, the massive mek turned around and regarded the lapin with the red optical bar running across its face.\n\n* Yep, Miniature Cyber-organic Assault and Transport Sentry number 7, at your service! - It said in a high-pitched, feminine toned voice.\n\nLimly took another step back as the M.C.A.T. spread its front paws out and bowed politely to her while a smaller manipulator claw folded out from the left leg as if to shake paws. - Pleasure to make your acquaintance! Miss Kaitlynn's never allowed us meet any of her friends before.-\n\n\"Aside from darling Lim here, I'm afraid there aren't that many left to meet.\" Kaitlynn admitted sadly while Limly grabbed hold of the mek's claw and began examining it like an extremely dedicated Star Trek fan might scrutinise an authentic phaser prop that was on auction.\n\n\"Deus above!! These things are meant to be the military's latest breakthrough in AI enabled, all purpose patrol crafts. I didn't even know they'd been given the go ahead to start mass-producing them yet!!\"\n\n\"Technically they haven't. This one comes from the proto-type group we're currently giving a test run.\" Kaitlynn reached up and patted her metallic steed's side as Limly continued to feel over the leg.\n\n\"So is this really a genuine tek-shell like they've been claiming?\"\n\nKaitlynn walked over and pressed a small panel on 7's leg, causing it to flip open and reveal an interior that bulged with muscle and sinew interwoven into the metallic components.\n\n\"Oh wow, just like I'd imagined it to be!\" Limly brought her hands up to her muzzle which was etched all over with the delight of a true geek at last being allowed to get a glimpse of her newest fixation.\n\n\"It's a near perfect synchronisation of organic parts and cybernetic neurone wiring. Gives 'em a much higher level of sentience than your average mekanik, and makes 'em a damn sight easier to handle and work with.\"\n\n* I do my own parallel parking too. - The M.C.A.T. stated proudly while Limly continued to gaze over its sleek, agile body in utter amazement.\n\n\"Wow, this is just so incredible! I never thought I'd get a chance to see one of these things for real!\" The lapin said at last. \"How the schmed did you get you paws on this, Kaitlynn?\"\n\nThe white vulpine leaned against her feline mek and half-smiled at the lapin. \"Easy, Dralion and I joined the Cyber-Trackers.\" She looked up at the behemoth that was regarding the both of them in a playful manner. \"Without a doubt the best decision I ever made in my life.\"\n\nLimly turned to look at her friend and the gap between her jaw and the ground decreased a little more. \"C-Cyber-Trackers? That Network sponsored, bounty hunter organisation? You're with them now?\"\n\nKaitlynn tapped No. 7's side and the mek duly responded by opening up its mid-section to reveal an interior large enough for two operators to sit back to back.\n\n\"Lim, we've seriously got a lot to talk about. Know any place quiet and intimate that stays open late?\"\n\nLimly blinked at the realisation that, after being shown this magnificent piece of vehicular robotic perfection, she was now being offered the opportunity to ride around in it.\n\n\"Uh...yeah, yeah I know a great spot.\"\n\nKaitlynn grinned devilishly. \"Well then hop in and hold on tight. This kitty may not be that comfortable to sit in, but she handles like a dream on the road!\"\n\n---\n\n* 12: 47 p.m.-\n\n\"...and so as I'm helping to march this thug out to where the C.S.F. can meet up with us and take him off our paws, he starts blubbing and pleading and begging us not to send him back to the cages, so my boss just looks up at him and says 'Well maybe you should think about buying the whole basket next time.'\"\n\n\"Oh please,\" Limly got out before doubling over in laughter as the two sat in a quaint little restaurant enjoying their catch up time.\n\n\"Wow Kaitlynn, I gotta say it's wonderful to see you've been able to pick yourself up again and continue on with your life as normal.\" The lapin said after she'd calmed down.\n\n\"Yeah, I guess that's mainly due to having finally found my dream profession. Thanks to the unusually high demand for our services, plus the fact that our assignments are usually spaced far enough apart that I can hold down another part-time job, I'm hauling in up to twice as I did in the marines and seeing a damn sight more action than I ever did previously. I get free board as part of the benefits package and my colleagues are a much nicer bunch overall.\"\n\n\"And the fact that your superiors and co-ordinators are mekaniks doesn't bother you?\" Limly asked.\n\nKaitlynn pondered for a moment and puffed on her cigar.\n\n\"Well, yeah I guess having robots for bosses was kinda weird at first.\" The vixen propped her head on her paw. \"But you have to remember, these are the Network's little Soul Harbourer meks we're talking about. They're practically like us in terms of sentience and intelligence, even more so than the M.C.A.T.S.\"\n\nShe glanced out the window at No. 7 who was lying down in its parking spot, tail swaying slowly in contentment.\n\n\"They make absolute sure everyone gets along with each other, they listen to us when we have something to say and they treat us far more fairly than my marine commanders ever did.\" Kaitlynn licked her lips and blushed. \"In fact if I had to be honest, at times it's almost like having a family again.\"\n\nLimly hung on the arctic vixen's every word with rapt attention, a surprisingly warm feeling settling in her innards as she listened to her.\n\n\"Wow, that's a very touching sentiment, and here I was thinking you'd be drawn to that kind of job because it entails that you still get to blow up everything and drive around recklessly like you always do.\" She chortled.\n\nKaitlynn looked at her and chuckled. \"Yeah, that's a plus. We also get to -\"\n\n\"Look I'm telling you Ricky, it's better we just admit defeat. There's no way we're can pull this off!!\"\n\nBoth vixen and lapin went silent as the rather frustrated voice sounded out. Twisting her neck around to look behind her, Kaitlynn caught sight of a well built badger dressed in a waist length black suit jacket and pants with a blue open collar shirt on underneath stepping past the maitre'd and headed for the bar as an equally toned panther wearing a stylish gold trimmed coil suit under a hip length grey coat followed behind him.\n\n\"Mike, I simply can't understand what the problem here is. It's not breaching any laws, it guarunteed to attract the masses and it'll be perfect for wh-\"\n\nThe black feline found himself being cut off mid-word by the badger whipping around and clamping his muzzle shut with his paw.\n\n\"Yeah okay I know it has advantages, but somehow I get the feeling going through them one by one in a public area ain't that great of an idea!\" The badger said in a more hushed voice. His feline companion's eyes looked mildly surprised but soon closed as he nodded.\n\n\"Right sorry, got a little carried away there.\" Ricky said in a muffled voice. \"You think you could let go now? Or am I gonna have to lick your pads?\"\n\nHe smiled playfully. \"I just had my weekly tongue cleaning so you know it's gonna feel smooth.\"\n\nMike looked back at his friend and then relaxed.\n\n\"Don't tempt me okay? Just try to keep your voice down. No need to tell the whole world.\" He went up to one of the terminals at the bar and accessed the menu.\n\n\"I don't see what you're so het up about, it's not like anyone really cares what we have to say most of the time.\"\n\n\"Even so, I'd prefer not to run the risk that some life devoid gossip columnist might try to tap us in here. Though, considering our present situation any attention might help.\" He selected one of the drinks on the holo-display and rubbed his eyes as his order appeared moments later, floating down on a small tray through the gravity tube that connected the bar to the kitchen above it before being slid in front of him.\n\n\"Look, I know you must've put a lot of thought into it but let's face facts here, we need a minimum of ten more morphs to ensure a fair test of the equipment and we simply don't have that many acquaintances around these parts to spare.\"\n\n\"Then what about that friend of yours that lives nearby? You said he's good at organising big groups.\"\n\n\"Not by tomorrow night. He needs at least two days notice for anything amounting to over six participants.\"\n\nThe feline sighed and ordered a drink for himself. \"Well, it was a good idea anyway.\" He picked it up off the counter and sipped. \"I'd have even been willing to pay them top solarium too.\"\n\nThe two drank in silence while Kaitlynn watched them with intrigue.\n\n\"Well now, doesn't that sound like a cry for help?\"\n\nLimly looked past her friend and cocked an eyebrow. \"Perhaps, but I hardly think it's any matter of ours.\"\n\nKaitlynn grinned. \"Limly, if there's one thing I've had drilled into my head continuously since becoming a Tracker, it's that where there's a possibility of earning some moolah, it's always advisable that I make it a matter of mine.\"\n\nShe turned momentarily to pull out a solari chip and swipe it over the booth's terminal to pay for their meal before getting up and walking over to the two while Limly sighed and followed.\n\n\"Hey there boys, mind if my friend and I join in on this conversation?\" She asked while plopping down on the stool next to the feline and badger.\n\n\"Huh?\" Ricky turned around to regard this new arrival.\n\n\"And, who might you be?\" Michael asked in confusion.\n\n\"Just a couple of free spirited gals having a night on the town, who heard there might be a prospect of some mischief abound.\" The vixen leaned on the bar and struck a sly smile. \"Name's Kaitlynn Vernora.\"\n\n\"Nice to make your acquaintance, I guess.\" Michael said, still rather confused. \"And your bunny friend is?\"\n\nKaitlynn quickly turned to Limly.\n\n\\\\Mind if I tell them?\\\\ She sent over the cerebral link.\n\n\\\\Why not? After all the media attention I've had focused on me, I doubt it's gonna make that much of a difference.\\\\ Limly sent back.\n\nThe vixen turned back to the badger. \"She's known as Limly Sivitrii round most parts.\" She leaned back and continued to smile. \"So what, may I ask, has gotten you two in such a tiff that you're broadcasting it out to the entire establishment?\"\n\nRicky's gaze turned decidedly sheepish as Michael regarded him in contempt. Skillfully he reached into his jacket and pulled out a holo-brochure.\n\n\"Rick please, don't start again!\"\n\n\"I keep telling you, if you don't like it you're more than welcome to enact revenge on me if you so desire.\" He smirked before turning back to the females. \"Well ladies, it may interest you to know that you are speaking to two of the official product testers for 'Omni-poly Services' , offering the latest in sensual experience products suited to anyone's particular kinks or likings.\"\n\nHe handed it to Kaitlynn while gauging her for a reaction. \"How was that? Too obviously indicative of my lack of seniority?\"\n\n\"I wouldn't advise that you handle your own advertising.\" Kaitlynn said as she studied the brochure. \"So, your company jumped on the all purpose sexual products bandwagon, and you guys are the lucky sods who get to give the stuff a test run huh?\"\n\n\"It's a job that has its perks.\" Michael shrugged. \"However, unlike those other companies who prefer to cover their hides in the generalised section of the market by producing stuff that sort of does everything but not really, we deal only in specialised fields.\"\n\n\"How so?\" Limly asked.\n\nAs a response Ricky leaned in closer as if revealing an important secret. \"Our products are all geared exclusively for orgies.\"\n\n\"No schmed huh?\" Kaitlynn removed the stogie from her lips and whistled a thin stream of smoke as she examined a variety of publicity shots. \"Looks pretty impressive. So why all the frustrated whingeing?\"\n\n\"We need to have a report back on how well our goods work to our bossess in two days time so they can close a deal with some potential distributors. But unfortunately our new line is designed to be able to suit parties of around 15 morphs or more, the largest we've ever done, and it took a while for us to get the test items shipped in.\" The panther ran a paw through his head fur. \"Hence we're now fighting a deadline and strapped for members of the public who are willing to do a trial run, so you can kind of see the reason for our...anguish.\"\n\nKaitlynn nodded slowly and drummed her claws on the counter top while Limly was trying to get a look over her shoulder at the brochure.\n\n\"I see.\" The vixen said at last. \"And did I perchance hear a mention of there being monetary compensation for those who volunteer?\"\n\n\"Well of course, what else is there that can provide enough incentive for this kind of thing?\" Ricky took another swig from his drink. \"We pay 500 solaris per participant, though I trust you'll forgive us if we refuse to negotiate for more.\"\n\nKaitlynn looked up and dropped the brochure on the counter as the slyness of her grin went up tenfold. \"Well then boys, perhaps it is fortunate we ran into each other.\"\n\n\\\\Kaitlynn, what in Helgon are you doing?\\\\ Limly sent in shock.\n\n\\\\Just trust me.\\\\ The arctic vixen assured. \"I don't know if we can find 15 friends by tomorrow,\"\n\n\"Oh we don't need that many for the trial, 12 oughta be enough.\"\n\nKaitlynn got off the stool and leaned against the bar. \"Then what say we do business then? Give us a time and place to direct the congregation, and we'll be happy to give your wares a thorough try out.\"\n\nBadger and panther looked at each other in shocked silence.\n\n\"What do you think?\" Ricky leaned in and whispered.\n\n\"I think we're in no position to argue right now, it's a quick fix and frankly we're running out of time to get this deal done.\" Michael said as he set his drink down and pulled out a transparent card which had his business details laser imprinted on it.\n\n\"The directions are encoded in that. Show up at around 9:00 tomorrow.\" He handed it to the vixen.\n\n\"And may we just say how eternally grateful we are to both of you for showing up when you did.\" Ricky raised his glass. \"Cheers!\"\n\nHe downed it in one big gulp.\n\n\"Happy to be of help.\" Kaitlynn tossed her cigar butt into a nearby ashtray and casually walked back towards the entrance while Limly turned to look back at the two males before groaning and following after her friend.\n\n\"Ha, ha, see it does pay to speak in louder tones sometimes.\" Ricky smirked.\n\n\"I guess, though don't expect me to apologise in public.\" Michael said defiantly.\n\n\"I'll settle for you paying for another drink then.\" The panther smiled before closing his eyes in discomfort. \"Oogh, must remember from now on it's not a good idea to down a frozen daiquri in one go though.\"\n\n---\n\n* Outside -\n\n\"Okay Kaitlynn, I really have been meaning to ask. Were you dropped on your head as a kit?\" Limly said in disbelief as they walked back to the M.C.A.T.\n\n\"Probably. At least I can't think of any other explanation for my rather reckless and somewhat suicidal approach to life.\" Kaitlynn grinned again. \"I thought that's what you liked the most about me.\"\n\n\"But still, agreeing to engage in sexual activities with two morphs you've only just met?\"\n\n\"It's how I met Dralion, and you if I remember.\" Kaitlynn turned back to the lapin and placed her hands on her shoulders. \"And if it's my safety you're worried about, don't be. After last time I've made absolute sure to train myself in how to survive whatever I might encounter in this lifetime.\"\n\nLimly nodded in agreement \"I've never had any doubt about that.\"\n\nShe crossed her arms over her exceptionally large bosom and folded her wings against her back. \"I just hope you're not expecting me to join in this little get together.\"\n\n\"Would be nice of you if you did, but you know I'd never force you to do anything like that.\" The vixen reached out to stroke over the soft white feathers of her friend's wings. \"Though I have to admit, having a few of you would've been nice to add some diversity to the entourage.\"\n\n\"Excuse me?\"\n\nKaitlynn walked up to the M.C.A.T. who was staring at her with an almost organic sense of excitement.\n\n* Welcome back, Miss Kaitlynn! I trust you both had a pleasant meal.-\n\n\"With Lim around, any meal is garunteed to be pleasant.\" Kaitlynn smiled back at her friend. \"Open your left cargo compartment and bring out our special supplies will ya?\"\n\n* Yes ma'am. - A large section of the M.C.A.T.S. hind quarters slid out and snapped open.\n\n\"Now what are you doing?\" Limly asked\n\n\"I was planning on just taking these back to store in our base for safe keeping, after I picked them up from the Network's research division. But I think they'll be very useful here.\" With a flourish, Kaitlynn stepped away as two large metal boxes, each about three feet long by two feet high, walked out of the compartment on thin insectoid legs. Both had holo-panel locks on them and were emblazoned with huge black and yellow signs that read CAUTION: LIVE ORGANISMS\n\n\"What are those?\" The lapin asked.\n\n\"The rest of my little group for tomorrow.\" Kaitlynn replied as she tinkered with the holo-panel on one of the boxes and disengaged the locks. With a woosh of air the top split open and the vixen reached in and pulled out an extremely bizarre, jelly fish like creature that made Limly's eyes nearly pop out of her skull.\n\n\"Recognize this?\" She held it out for the pink bunny to see.\n\n\"By Deus! That's a ment'hesesk organism! The ones they said the inhabitants of Pelthon use in their cloning process!\" Limly snatched it out of the vixen's paws and felt over the smooth, slightly spongey material of the dome, her previously reserved self now giving way to the overtly excited science geek she'd been acting like before.\n\n\"I've been petitioning like crazy for us to get some of these when they finally got permission to start shipping them planetside.\"\n\n\"Well, consider this an advanced glimpse at Neo-Terra's two newest life forms,\" The vixen opened up the other box and pulled out a large glass capsule that was filled with dozens of small gelatinous blobs slowly swirling around like a cloud of doped up flies. \"Her and her little friends here.\"\n\nLimly looked up and gaped. \"Wow, they even gave you some xaerotroth parasites too?\"\n\n\"Can't go about creating clones unless you have both components.\" Kaitlynn said while the ment'hesesk began to twitch as Limly's continuous caresses gradually roused it back to full wakefulness.\n\n\"Sorry, they have a tendency to slip into hibernation while in transit. Just let her go if she gets too frisky.\"\n\nLimly did so and the domed alien floated up from her paws and began using its fins to lazily swim through the air in a small figure eight.\n\n\"Cool, it does its own party tricks.\" Limly giggled before turning back to the vixen. \"So your plan here is what exactly? Just make a few dozen replicas of yourself and then give the two guys in there a literal extravaganza of arctic vixen action?\"\n\n\"Any copies I do create won't be around long enough to make use of the cash. And how many times am I gonna get the opportunity to earn 6,000 solaris, tax free, no obligation to split it with my colleagues, and all for a few hours work?\" Kaitlynn turned the capsule containing the xaerotroth parasites over in her paws as she contemplated. \"Though I'd be more than happy to split it with you, that is if you're willing to join me on the copying.\"\n\nLimly thought about the prospect. She still wasn't quite sure about her vixen friend's thought process but, then again, she had practically been going crazy with wanting to see what these newly imported miracle life forms could do, and to now be offered the opportunity to experience it first hand...\n\n\"Well...oh, what the heck, it's been far too long since I did something outrageous like this.\" The winged lapin said at last.\n\n* Wonderful, the world can always do with more cute bunnies! - No. 7 said happily.\n\nKaitlynn just nodded and patted her on the shoulder before reaching into the box containing the ment'hesesk and pulling out a data tablet.\n\n\"Okay, now to make this work we apparently just let these little buggers latch onto us, absorb a small amount of our DNA and then sprinkle them liberally on the dome heads.\" The vixen made a questioning face.\n\n\\Oh well, guess not everyone in the universe favours the hi-tech approach.\\ Limly thought as she watched the vixen open the capsule and catch several of the parasites in her paw. She sealed the capsule back up and then rolled up the sleeve of her coat before placing the gelatinous organisms over her arm.\n\n\"Ngh, ooh geez these little guys have teeth.\" She grimaced slightly as the xaerotroth momentarily glowed a bright orange and then dropped off.\n\n\"Lousy grip though.\"\n\nShe bent down and scooped them up off the ground before reaching up to grab the ment'hesesk out of the air and placing a few on the dome. Both vixen and lapin watched as the larger alien creature twitched and then absorbed the xaerotroth into the transparent covering of its membrane, the jelly like tissue folding over to envelop the tiny globules and suck them inside.\n\n\"Right, let's have one more of me.\" She placed the ment'hesesk back in the box and then brought out another one on which she spread the rest of the parasites over.\n\n\"Okay then Lim, let's do you now.\"\n\n\"Alright.\" Limly slipped off her coat and held her organic arm aloft so the vixen could place another handful on it.\n\n\"Hee hee hee, that kind of tickles.\" She said as the parasites bit down, glowed and dropped off. Moments later Kaitlynn was putting two more newly infested ment'hesesk back in the box.\n\n\"Right, I've got four more of these guys left.\" The vixen pondered and then grinned wickedly. \"And I think I know just who I'm going to use them on.\"\n\nShe snatched the capsule back up. \"No. 7, keep an eye on Lim for me. Be back in a moment.\"\n\n* Aye, aye ma'am - The huge M.C.A.T. replied, doing a little army salute with its manipulator claw.\n\nKaitlynn walked back into the restaurant. Twenty or so minutes passed and she then re-emerged.\n\n\"Geez, I've never seen anyone get so het up about a little nip. You'd think neither of them had ever had a bug bite before.\" She shook her head.\n\n\"Our friends surprised to see you again so soon?\"\n\n\"Somewhat, I pretended I wanted to confirm the time they'd specified while surreptitiously dumping the rest of these little things on their necks. Badger boy's still berating his kitty friend for pinching him in a public place.\" Kaitlynn snickered as she infested the rest of the ment'hesesk.\n\n\"Well, now that that's done, how long do those take to...develop?\" The winged lapin enquired.\n\n\"According to what current reports state, round about sixteen hours.\"\n\n\"Incredible.\" Limly said quietly as Kaitlynn closed the box and both retreated back into the cargo compartment.\n\n\"Well then Lim, shall we meet up at the same place tomorrow night? Or do you still want out of this?\"\n\n\"Are you nuts? I'm not passing up a chance to see these things in action with my own two eyes! Heck, if nothing else I should be able to grab some nice juicy stills to spruce up my work station.\"\n\n\"That's my winged wonder.\" The vixen climbed into the M.C.A.T. \"Any place I can drop you off before I head home myself?\"\n\n\"Back at the lab would be nice. I don't know if you noticed but I did have a rather expensive craft of my own parked there which I have no intention of leaving out all night.\"\n\n---\n\nAugust 16th\n\n* 5:09 a.m.-\n\nIn a dazzling display of light, a T-D gate materialised in the M.C.A.T.S. maintenance bay of the Cyber-Tracker's base of operations, located on the outskirts of Aureatore.\n\n* Yahoooo! - No. 7 exclaimed as it vaunted out of the gate and landed in the centre of the bay. - Those are so much fun! -\n\n\"Speak for yourself.\" Kaitlynn said as she got out looking a little green.\n\n\"I'm just glad you girls come equipped with experimental, site-to-site T-D generators. Be a very difficult process checking you onto an overnight flight as luggage.\"\n\nThe vixen held onto her stomach and groaned. \"Deus, they have got to come up with a better way to stabilise those portals. I can only be spun around so many times before I finally have to let hurl.\"\n\n* Have a pleasant night out otherwise, Kaity?-\n\nThe vixen smiled at the familiar voice.\n\n\"Best one I've had in a long time, boss.\"\n\nShe turned around to see the three foot tall, bipedal mekanik walking up behind her, clad in his normal garb of trench coat, ninja suit and gloves.\n\n* How did No. 7 fare? - Hacker lifted his oddly raptor shaped head up from the data tablet he was studying to regard his vixen Tracker.\n\n\"Top marks as usual. Thanks for letting me borrow her.\"\n\n* Well, she wasn't doing much good just sitting in the garage. Aside from joining in on the inane philosophical banter these M.C.A.T.S. seem to get up to in their spare time that's so irritating to listen to it makes a tropical skin disease look like a minor rash.-\n\nKaitlynn chuckled as she looked around the place and noticed several meks and maintenance personnel gathered around the other M.C.A.T.S. \"What'd I miss around here?\"\n\n* Got a new offer in from the Network. Seems a couple of black market nano-augmentation runners have broken parole and taken to their old habits again. We've got the location of where they're striking their next deal, so I'm going to take Slinger and stake out the place tonight.-\n\nKaitlynn looked down at her robot leader in disappointment. \"That's it? No scouring the depths of cyber space, or wild chases through different dimensions, or time travel, or frantic hunts across space or anything?\"\n\n* Afraid not dear girl. Rather a relief isn't it? To know that there are still some organiks in this world with the decency to have no concept of ingenuity.-\n\nKaitlynn rolled her eyes and sighed. \"Well seeing as how I'm obviously not going to be of much use for that, can I take tonight off too? And maybe borrow M.C.A.T.S. 7 and 9?\"\n\nHack regarded the vixen quizzically before shrugging.\n\n* I don't see why not. I'm only going to need Nos. 1 and 2 for this assignment, maybe with 8 acting as back up.-\n\nHe walked over to where the meerkat siblings were working on a M.C.A.T. that had a ocelot like body structure, emblazoned with the number 2, and was caked with mud. -How's it coming, Jenna?-\n\n\"Two of the shifters need replacing, right intake valve's clogged to the gills,\" The meerkat got up and banged the tool she was holding against the M.C.A.T.S.' chin. \"And I don't like that squishing sound the connector valves are making one bit.\"\n\nHack shook his head as he folded his hands behind his back. - Amazing isn't it, how an ultra-advanced combat mek, with armor designed to withstand direct contact with radioactive waste while being fired upon by 10 legions of enemy troops, can be almost crippled by a little pond scum and some mud.-\n\n* Well, at least mud helps the complexion, right? - No. 2 said sheepishly as another meerkat hosed the crusted filth off its face.\n\nHacker rolled his red robotic eyes and dragged his hand over his head. - Just from now on, try to take heed of your base series' instinctual phobias, and stay away from the backyard lake. At least until I can get a sanitation crew out here, okay ? -\n\nHe turned around and began walking away, all the while muttering to himself. - Why cats ? Why out of the millions of perfectly apt morph series on this world did they have to model them after bloody cats!?-\n\nKaitlynn sighed and left them to continue in their activities while she got the box containing the infested ment'hesesk out of No. 7 and left the bay to head to her room.\n\n\"So how is our dear long eared, winged friend doing?\" Enquired a muscular spinosaurus carrying several large crates as he passed the vixen.\n\n\"Attracting a little more attention than usual, but aside from that she's the same as she ever was, Dralion.\" Kaitlynn smiled up at the dinosaur. \"She's exceptionally pleased to hear you're not having any problems with your new parts.\"\n\nDralion turned his stoic gaze to his bionic right arm and flexed it slowly.\n\n\"She deserves all the credit. I doubt these would've synched so flawlessly with my body if she hadn't given them her special touch.\" He said as he lowered his gaze to his equally bionic left leg.\n\n\"Well I made sure she knew how grateful you are.\" Kaitlynn grinned knowingly before stifling a yawn. \"In fact I'm seeing her again tonight, as soon as I take care of something and get a few hours sleep. Any other messages you'd like me to relay to her?\"\n\n\"Only my best regards. Sleep well my vixen.\" He leaned over to kiss her gently on the forehead before continuing on down the hall.\n\nKaitlynn closed her eyes and sighed happily to herself as she walked up to a pair of blast doors and waited as they slid open to reveal a small hovering mek with skeletal, foot long fingers, hooked into a massive bank of computer terminals which it was eagerly typing on. Smiling wickedly, the vixen set her box down and slowly crept towards the mek like a shark moving towards its prey. Sensing it was still unaware of her presence, the vulpine grabbed hold of it, reared up to strike,\n\nAnd then planted a big wet kiss on its silver cranium.\n\n\"How ya doin, Scratch?\" She said in a low sultry voice.\n\nThe bot immediately ceased all activity before trepidly turning around to regard the vixen with severe apprehension in its red visored eyes.\n\n* Okay, judging from the speed and enthusiasm you put into that kiss, I'm guessing that I've either done something very nice and you're thanking me for it, or I've seriously screwed up big time and you're just tenderising the area where you're going to pound me. - Scratch nervously linked his fingers together as he waited for the vixen's response.\n\n\"Relax bud, this particular time it's the former. For inadvertently leading me back to Limly.\"\n\n* Oh, right. - The little mek sounded quite relieved. - Well I knew how much you were yearning to meet up with her again after your unfortunate... you know what, and when I stumbled upon the duty roster for that place, it just seemed like the logical thing to do.-\n\n\"That it was, just wanted to say thanks.\"\n\n* You're welcome. - Scratch nodded and turned back to his screens; glad it hadn't been anything bad but still cautiously glancing over his shoulder as the vixen walked out of the chamber.\n\nWith that done, Kaitlynn then went straight to her own room, smiling in anticipation at what promises the coming night would hold.\n\nAfter closing the door and having the base's A.I. computer dim the lights for her, Kaitlynn parked the box next to her couch and opened it to observe the ment'hesesk, finding they had all nearly tripled in size.\n\nGently she lifted one out to examine it, and noticed what looked to be an embryonic foetus developing inside the transparent dome. She examined it closer and found she could make out the slight outline of stubby but distinctly lapin ears.\n\n\\Congratulations girl, you got it pregnant!\\\n\nChuckling to herself, the vixen picked out all of the mutating aliens and placed them on the couch next to her so the foetuses inside could continue to grow and develop unhindered. Feeling another yawn coming on, Kaitlynn took a moment to strip out of her clothes before lying down on the bed and letting herself drift off into slumber, dreaming of her bunny friend.\n\n---\n\n* 9:01 p.m.-\n\n\\\\Geez Limly, let her go and try to relax. You're gonna rub the fur right off their bodies if you're not careful.\\\\ Kaitlynn sent, watching the exuberant bunny through the video link between M.C.A.T.S. 7 and 9 as they ambled up to the building Ricky's directions had lead them to and stopped.\n\n\\\\Sorry, it's just, Deus this so cool! I can't believe how perfect they turned out!\\\\\n\nBoth of the robot felines kneeled and opened up their crew compartments.\n\n\\\\I swear if I'd known your reaction was going to be like this I'd have insisted that you ride with me.\\\\ The vixen sent in response as she got out of No. 7 and watched in bemusement as her friend leapt down and helped her two new identical twins step out of No. 9.\n\n\"Oh this is so much fun, to be able to actually step back and admire myself from the standpoint of another person.\" Limly clasped her paws together as she drank in the sight of her clones.\n\n\"I am glad you approve of us so.\" The first Limly said softly as she bowed her head.\n\n\"Of course I approve, you both look even cuter and more adorable than the image that greets me in the mirror each day.\" She lowered her paws and sighed happily \"Just think of all the new things I can learn about myself from this.\"\n\n\"Such as?\" Kaitlynn was curious.\n\n\"Well to start off with, I should never be seen dead wearing your wardrobe.\" The winged lapin giggled. Both of her clones were dressed in two more of the vixen's biker outfits which clashed heavily with the modest light blue coat and dress with dark blue shirt that the original was wearing.\n\n\"Well what choice did I have? Would've looked an odd sight loading eight nude morphs into the M.C.A.T.S. Just thankful Dralion was willing to spare some of his clothes too.\"\n\nShe stepped aside as the other clones got out.\n\n\"Besides, considering what we're about to do I highly doubt much of that gear's going to stay on for long.\"\n\nUpon hearing that, Limly looked up at the blank, slightly run down building in front of them and shivered.\n\n\"Are you sure this is going to be okay, Kaitlynn? I mean this is a sector of town I usually make sure to stay way the hell away from.\" She wrapped her paws around her two replicas and held them closely to her. \"And on top of that, I've got two more of me to look after so I've extra cause to be nervous.\"\n\nKaitlynn just smiled and patted her friends shoulder. \"Trust me, it'll be okay. My cerebral modem's tuned to the Trackers' HQ computer if I need to call for help, and I made sure my bosses knew I was going to be out tonight.\"\n\nShe looked up at the building and then at the M.C.A.T.S. \"Further more, if those guys dare try anything threatening towards us,\"\n\nShe walked out in front of the two. \"7, 9, if you please.\"\n\n* Yes ma'am! - The two responded. In a flourish a massive plasma cannon sprung out of No. 7's left shoulder while an equally intimidating mini-gun took up position on the right. The cyber-feline then whipped its tail around to show the tip had folded out into a menacing looking claw that sparked and sizzled as if highly charged with electricity.\n\n\"As you can see, they'll have more than adequate cause to regret any attempts on us.\" Kaitlynn stated proudly.\n\n* Got that right! Just say the word and we'll be happy to crash the party for ya!- No. 9 responded, turning its even larger sized body (almost three times the size of No. 7) around to show off its surface-to-air missile launcher, plasma cannon, chain gun and fusion emitter.\n\nLimly observed the M.C.A.T.S.'s arsenals and took a deep breath.\n\n\"I should've guessed you'd come prepared as usual.\" She turned to the clone on her left and stroked over her wings. \"I just don't want anything bad to happen to any of us, that's all.\"\n\nKaitlynn regarded her friend in puzzlement. \"If I may ask Lim, why the sudden concern? Most other morphs usually don't get this attached to copies of themselves.\"\n\nLimly looked away, as if in embarrassment. \"Well, cause of this.\"\n\nShe held up the first clone's left paw which, unlike her own, was completely organic.\n\n\"I never thought I'd ever get to see myself as a complete morphson again, and even if they are just genetic replicants I don't want any version of me who still has all her normal limbs attached to come to any harm.\" The bunny explained as she dipped her head slightly. \"Just because I've been physically reduced doesn't mean the same should happen to them.\"\n\nKaitlynn stared at her friend for a slient moment before walking over to pick her up and give her a hug so tight and loving it would have done a mother bear proud.\n\n\"Oh, come on Limly, you know even with your cybernetic components I've always thought you're the most perfect little bunny I've ever encountered.\"\n\nLimly felt her head being tilted upwards before her mouth was engaged in a very loving kiss.\n\n\"And don't split any hairs on how they're going to be treated. Even after we have to give them back to the pelthonians I know for a fact they'll be well looked after.\"\n\nLimly 'mmphed' softly into another kiss before breaking off and smiling.\n\n\"Alright, alright, I'll trust you on this one.\" The lapin took hold of her two clone's paws and walked inside the building while Kaitlynn lead the other clones after them.\n\n---\n\n* Meanwhile -\n\nHacker cracked the joints on his fingers as M.C.A.T.S. 1 and 2 finished scaling up the side of the building and stood poised and ready on the roof overlooking the opposite side of the street.\n\n\\>All right, good work, Slinger, I don't think anyone saw us. \\<\n\nThe little robot placed his hands on the holographic interface panels and activated the video transfer between the two cyber-felines. \\>Now we have to play at the waiting game. \\<\n\nA display screen materialised in front of him, showing the aforementioned horned mek loading up his Pulseblaster pistols, the same perverse sense of pleasure crossing his eyes at the sound as they powered up.\n\n\\>Ne vous inquiétez pas, mon droogie. Till a duexieme jugement from the Deus comes, shalt I endeavour, attendre for those who have wronged. \\< The bot sent with the ritualistic twirl of his weapons around in his hands before holstering them.\n\n\\>As I've always expected of you. \\< Hacker tapped the panel and the screen showing Slinger shifted over to his right to make room for another one showing Scratch at his usual position. \\>All coming through fine on your end, Scratch? \\<\n\n\\>Like a bell, Hack. \\<\n\nHacker nodded in satisfaction. - \\Right then, we just sit tight until these chaps decide to show their faces.\\-\n\nThe mek folded his arms under his head and waited. After a while he began humming a tune as he glanced around the interior of No. 1. Then, when he tired of that, he shifted position so his right arm was now supporting his head while he drummed his fingers on the console in front of him.\n\nA little while later he decided to check the watch on his wrist comp and discovered, to his amazement, that around fifteen seconds had passed.\n\n* \\I trust they aren't going to be too long.\\-\n\n---\n\n\"Well hello there, good to see you again.\" Ricky exclaimed as Limly and Kaitlynn walked into the testing area. \"Welcome to our humble abode.\"\n\nBunny and vixen glanced around the area. Several large and intimidating machines were situated in different areas of the room, all surrounded by a plethora of pillows and blankets.\n\n\"Looks quite cozy.\" Limly commented as Mike entered from a side room.\n\n\"Okay, we already have your names down, now we just need the names of all your friends who've agrees to participate to submit to the Network and then we can get started.\"\n\nMike looked up from his data tablet and cocked an eyebrow when he saw the two girls appeared to be alone. \"Uh...wait didn't you say you'd have a group with you tonight?\"\n\nKaitlynn struck a mischievous smile and nodded. \"Oh there are quite a few more of us here. Just wanted to give you two a moment to prepare before the unveiling.\" She turned around and clapped her paws. \"Okay everyone, you can come in.\"\n\nThe expressions that passed over the panther and badger's faces thereafter could at best be described in the following order:\n\nFirst confusion when Kaitlynn's two clones entered.\n\nThen bewildered surprise when Limly's came in.\n\nFollowed by shock upon seeing two perfect copies of Mike enter.\n\nAnd then aghast when they were succeeded by Ricky's replicas.\n\n\"I don't think you're going to have much use for their names though, seeing as they don't yet have any.\" Kaitlynn smirked at the two morphs who were still so shocked they didn't even notice the beep of a camera capturing a still.\n\n\\\\See, wasn't it a better idea to reveal them slowly to these guys?\\\\\n\n\\\\I'll say.\\\\ Limly snickered as she looked at the picture she'd taken. \\\\Those expressions are priceless.\\\\\n\n\"H-how...what?\" Was all Mike could manage while Ricky just gaped as their copies walked up and presented themselves.\n\n\"Really doesn't bear explaining. I happen to know a few friends who can work wonders with tiny amounts of DNA, and just thought it'd be a better solution for this type of thing.\"\n\nKaitlynn moved over and patted the shoulder of one of her clones. \"I think you'll find these are a lot more willing to follow instructions and participate with each other. And unlike normal morphs, you needn't worry about any of that legal horse schmed, they're exempt from it.\"\n\nRick grabbed his colleague by the shoulder and turned the two of them around.\n\n\"Okay, I freely admit this is not what I was expecting.\" He glanced over his shoulder and just shook his head in disbelief \"What do you think? Should we go ahead or send them packing?\"\n\nMike turned briefly to count how many individuals the clones added up to.\n\n\"Well, she did deliver as she promised, and Network reports have been rather strongly in favour of those...things,\"\n\nThe badger thought a bit longer and finally shrugged. \"I guess we can't complain, specially at this late stage of the game.\"\n\nRicky looked a tad unsure but nodded before turning around again.\n\n\"Okay, while this is a little off the beaten track it shouldn't present a problem.\" He glanced over his two clones and propped his head on his paw. \"However, I really must ask that we come up with some way of distinguishing between everyone here.\"\n\n\"Then how about we use our first initials followed by a number? You know so mine would be L1 and L2, yours would be R1 and R2 and so on.\" Limly suggested. \"I know it's kind of idiotic in its simplicity, but I can't think of anything else right at the moment.\"\n\nShe smiled and showed off her pretty buck teeth.\n\n\"Works for me.\" Mike responded.\n\n\"No protests here either.\" Ricky said as he walked over to a huge transparent dodecahedron which was lined with fake fur on the inside.\n\n\"Right let's start off with something simple here. This is your average run-of-the-mill anti-gravity simulator with a few added modifications.\" He emphasised the statement by pressing on one of the faces, causing it to bulge inward.\n\n\"Highly flexible plastocile walls, feels like bouncing into a soft fuzzy film and comes equipped with a static charged coating on the inside that adheres to the fur on your body so you can lie comfortably on it with being bounced back off.\" The panther turned back to the other morphs. \"It's designed for a maximum of 12 morphs, but I don't think we need to test this thing to the limits tonight.\"\n\n\"Indeed,\" Mike followed up. \"Let's go with two males and, uh, three females, that oughta be sufficient.\"\n\n\"Liking this already.\" Kaitlynn smiled seductively as she slipped off her jacket. \"Might be worth mentioning though, these sweet guys and girls need some one to start them up first and then lead them on.\" She turned to her two clones. \"Go ahead and lose the clothing now.\"\n\nBoth nodded and began getting undressed while the white vulpine looked at her lapin friend. \"Feel like joining us?\"\n\n\"I'll just observe for right now if that's alright.\"\n\n\"Mind if I borrow one of yours then?\"\n\nLimly blushed and giggled as she pointed to one of her replicas. \"L1, do as they're doing. If nothing else, it'll get you out of that ridiculous outfit.\"\n\n\"As you wish.\" L1again bowed her head as she slipped off her leather vest and unfolded her wings.\n\nLimly felt a strange but intriguing sense of lust wash over her as she watched her twin pull her blue tank top over her head, letting her large D-cup sized breasts swing free. The cyborg lapin swallowed as L1 then pulled off her pants and then let the panties underneath drop to the ground. She stood there meekly, her wings curved slightly around her curvaceous pink body while her paws were crossed over her front.\n\nLimly just kept staring in amazement as she approached her now nude duplicate and lightly touched her shoulder. The pink fur felt just as soft as her own, but there was also a distinct 'lightness' to it too, the sensation most common to plush toys which have just been bought and not had a chance to be washed or weathered by the elements. A kind of 'newness' feel.\n\nExcited by this, Limly wrapped her arm around L1's shoulders and gently ran the back of her fingers over her cheek as the clone looked up at her. \"Does my appearance still please you?\"\n\n\"To no end.\" Limly replied, giving the clone a warm reassuring smile before hugging her tightly.\n\n\"I know mine certainly do.\"\n\nBoth bunnies turned to see Kaitlynn stoking over the fur of her replica's tummy, bringing a low murr of satisfaction from her.\n\n\"Deus, they got you both down flawlessly, right to the last hair.\" the vixen stated as she traced a claw up K1's stomach and taking a right to circle the swell of her breast before she lightly kissed her on her black streaked muzzle. \"I've just gotta see you in action.\"\n\nShe led the clone to the anit-grav chamber, slowly disposing of her own clothing each step of the way.\n\n\"Wow, never thought they'd be this...direct.\" Ricky said quietly to himself as the vixen revealed first her lithe, athletic torso, blighted somewhat by a hideously long scar that ran down through the valley of her breasts then coiled serpent like around her abs. Kaitlynn then slipped her pants off to reveal two equally well sculpted legs before calmly tossing away her undergarments and undoing her hair.\n\nAs the panther now followed her with an almost trance like gaze, the arctic vixen ran her paws through her hair and then turned to face him.\n\n\"You know, it'd be appreciated if you contributed something to this too.\" She said while striking a pose that, while slightly intimidating, showed off her gorgeous figure in its entirety.\n\n\"Huh....oh what?\" Ricky at last managed to snap back to alertness. \"Sorry, um okay R1 you do the same as the girls.\"\n\n\"You too M1.\" Michael stated at his copy.\n\nSoon two fit and trim males were joining Kaitlynn and her females in the chamber.\n\n\"Right, now let's add these for comfort.\" Ricky tossed a couple of pillows in and closed the door.\n\n\"And we're off!\" He flipped a switch on the side of the machine and soon all five morphs found themselves floating weightlessly around inside.\n\n\\Let's start partying!\\ Kaitlynn thought as she pulled K1 over to her and wrapped her in a warm embrace. Smiling she reached up to trace over the clone vixen's lips, feeling them flutter slightly in first time nervousness.\n\n\"Just relax; I only want you to enjoy yourself.\" She looked out at the others floating around her. \"That goes for all of you.\"\n\nK1 nodded but didn't say anything as Kaitlynn then leaned in and pressed her lips against hers. K1 shivered slightly at the feel but as the vixen held her closer to her in her black furred arms she felt herself start to relax. As Kaitlynn pressed herself even further into the kiss, K1 allowed her lips to part, her body telling her to let the vixen have further access into her mouth which she was more than content to comply with. Once her lips had sufficiently drifted away from each other, K1 was rewarded with the strange new sensation of a moist tongue being slid into her muzzle, her own tongue lifting up to feel along the underside before snaking up to run over the surface as Kaitlynn's tongue slipped over the roof of her mouth and then explored over the tips of her fangs.\n\n\\Oooh, neat she even has the same technique as me! Wonder what else she's inherited.\\\n\nKaitlynn kept the kiss going as she leaned back and began kicking her feet to propel them closer to where L1 was watching with rapt attention. Untangling her left arm, she reached down and pulled the pink lapin clone up before breaking the kiss.\n\nAs K1 gasped with the sudden rush of air back into her lungs, Kaitlynn drew the bunny closer to her and smiled.\n\n\"Liked watching that?\"\n\nL1 looked at K1 and noted how much more at ease she now seemed.\n\n\"Care to try it for yourself?\"\n\nL1 turned back to the vixen and nodded meekly.\n\nKaitlynn never stopped smiling as she gave the clone bunny the exact same treatment as she had her own replica, finding the lapin mouth to be just as warm and playful as the numerous times she'd kissed her friend in the past, with just a hint of first time innocence which made it all the more enticing.\n\nFeeling both were ready for something a little stronger, Kaitlynn wrapped her arm around L1 and began shifting her body around slightly so her nipples rubbed against her's, prompting a strangled murr from the bunny clone while her paw slid down K1's back, slowly letting the fur run through her fingers as they cupped over her nicely toned ass before moving down lower until she could extend one nimble digit to reach under her tail and stroke over the tip of her sex which set the vulpine clone off moaning slightly too.\n\nThis continued for about another minute or so as the three morphs twirled slowly through the reduced-G environment, things getting more and more heated until Kaitlynn's head bumped into M1's chest.\n\n\"Oh yeah, almost forgot.\" She let go of her friends and guided their paws to trace over the two's chests. \"Okay, let's see what you can do here.\"\n\nShe demonstrated with her own paws and watched as a mixture of curiosity and excitement slowly set into the two replicated morph's faces as they followed her lead and then slowed their caresses over the morph's bodies to a more teasing speed, some unknown force telling them to take their time and just enjoy being able to feel and play with two well-filled out morph clones.\n\nM1 had a beefy but nicely balanced build, the kind normally found on those who've become serious about body building but haven't yet put in enough time to really get really huge. R1, on the other hand, was lean and streamlined, more like a runner or dedicated swimmer.\n\nNot that the difference really mattered much at the moment. To the three females the combination of soft fur and developed muscles felt perfect, and the males were clearly showing some added 'excitement' from all the attention they were receiving.\n\n\"Getting a feel for what's involved here girls?\"\n\n\"A little,\" L1 sighed as she caressed the contours of the feline's abs.\n\n\"I would like some more 'guidance' though.\" She looked wantingly at the vixen.\n\n\\\\If I didn't know better Limly, I'd say they've also inherited some of your darling quirks of innocent desire.\\\\ Kaitlynn sent.\n\n\\\\I hope so, might make for more fun later on.\\\\ Limly sent back as her gaze fell on L2 who was watching intently as if making mental notes on what to do when it came to be her turn.\n\nIn the chamber, K1's paw had now been guided down to the badger's sheath and begun stroking it, followed by Kaitlynn doing the same with her clone on the badger.\n\n\"The trick to getting a male excited is to keep your thumb and forefinger on either side of the sheath and squeezing gently while you stroke. Helps to ease the meat out when the skin surrounding it gets too tight.\" She smiled. \"But then as you're another version of me you probably already knew that.\"\n\n\"I still like to be reminded.\" K1 responded as she gently ran her paw up and down on the badger's sheath, smiling in satisfaction as the head eventually popped out followed by the first two inches as she toyed with the ballsac. M1 groaned slightly and then sighed in contentment as he felt his tool being lovingly fondled and stroked by the two lovely white vulpines. It didn't take long before the double ministrations had M1 standing erect at his full 7½ inches.\n\n\\Well it's a little less than what I'm used to. Katlynn admitted. But then that just means there's less chance of gagging.\\\n\nShe smirked when she saw K1 leaning in to lap tenderly at the badger shaft. She looked over to notice L1 had opted for the mammary approach, gently rubbing R1's slightly larger shaft between her soft pink globes as her tongue lowered itself to explore over the barbed head.\n\n\\\\Yes she's definitely gotten some of your better quirks.\\\\ the vixen sent to Limly.\n\n\\\\Glad to see it. I've always loved doing that.\\\\ She stole another quick glance at her other clone before turning back to watch the proceedings with renewed intrigue. To be honest, even though she was still harbouring some reserve about this whole thing, Limly was finding it immensely fascinating watching herself pleasuring another morph. Being able to see from a third person perspective how she made use of her tongue on the feline's barbs, seeing the look of satisfaction that her face was settling into at the knowledge that she was bringing pleasure to someone else, it was not only making her wet but also causing her to realise just how appreciative she was of her body. Limly sighed inwardly and hugged herself as she again looked over at L2, seeing she was also getting turned on by the ordeal but still patiently waiting until she was needed.\n\n\\\\Tell him to hump her tits a bit, that feels even better.\\\\ Limly sent back.\n\nKaitlynn turned and gave the bunny a knowing wink as she swam over to R1 and whispered something in his ear. R1 looked back in surprise but then nodded and raised his hips slightly so his cock began bumping against L1's mouth. Taking the hint, the clone bunny opened her maw wide enough so her buck teeth wouldn't get in the way and let the feline shaft slide into the depths of her warm muzzle. Her tongue pulled back to lick over the pole that was now being rhythmically thrust into her mouth, finding the taste to be quite enjoyable as R1 moaned a little louder at the feeling.\n\nSeeing she was doing fine, Kaitlynn tenderly grabbed her rear and pushed them into one of the plastocile faces so they wouldn't start drifing away as she rolled over to where her own clone now had taken the badger's cock in her mouth and was lightly bobing her head up and down, producing a series of low grunts and groans from her partner. For a while she just hovered there and watched, feeling her own treasure getting decidedly more slick at the enthusiasm K1 was putting in to pleasuring the badger while reaching down to stroke over the folds of her own sex.\n\n\"Here, why not let me take of that for you.\" Kaitlynn said before swimming over to embrace her replica around the waist and just hold her as she let the cock fall out of her mouth and went to just stroking it while she turned her head around to be met with a loving kiss.\n\n\"Mmmm, such a good, pretty little vixen. Just like I always wished myself to be.\" Kaitlynn reached down and continued the slow sensual rubs across K1's lips, bringing about another surprised moan from the clone as her other paw raked up through her stomach fur and then to the swell of her nice medium sized breasts. K1 sighed in appreciation before having her muzzle guided back to the badger's shaft while Kaitlynn lightly nipped and licked at the back of her neck, prompting the clone vixen to shiver in anticipation. Seeing this was having the desired effect, Kaitlynn then began to move along K1's back, laying down a line of gentle butterfly kisses as she used her feet to propel herself downward, eventually bringing her muzzle on level with her duplicate's love box which she began lapping at with surprising ferocity, like a dog that was enjoying its first drink after a long time out in the desert.\n\n\"Well, you gotta admit, this is a rather interesting insight into how we may have turned out if our personalities were different.\" Mike said as he pulled up a stool.\n\n\"Yeah, who'd have thought you could actually stay quiet long enough for someone to do something nice for you without hearing directions being shouted continuously at them.\"\n\n\"Hey, I know what I like to have done to me and I think it's only right that I voice so as to ensure satisfaction for both parties. Besides I'm still surprised that any incarnation of you could possibly be submissive.\" He gestured to R1 who had now pulled L1 up into a slowly rotating 69. \"She has so got you wrapped around her fingers.\"\n\n\"So it would appear.\" Ricky said as he took a step closer to watch the orgy unfolding. \"What I'd give to be in her place right now.\" He said quietly.\n\n\"Oh please, do you mind? I don't need that image in my head right now.\" Mike said in exasperation.\n\n---\n\n* Elsewhere -\n\n\\>Dear me, these chaps certainly are taking their time. \\< Hacker sent as he checked his watch for what seemed like the fiftieth time. \\>If I'd known we'd be waiting for this long I'd have brought my guitar. \\<\n\n\\>Hack, you've been there all of 15 minutes and my sources said the deal isn't set to go down until 22:00 at the earliest. \\< Scratch sent back. \\>I know I'm usually not one for suggesting how to run our operations but it might be a good idea to just chill for a while. \\<\n\nHack glanced over at the image of his long fingered friend and leaned back. \\>Perhaps, guess I'm still kind of on edge. After those kitá narashiì media freaks made such mince meat out of the disaster that was our last assignment, I just want this one to go down smoothly and quietly.\\<\n\nHe looked over the console in front of him. \\>I can't believe with all the features and abilities they gave these felines, the one thing they forgot is a radio. \\<\n\n\\>Well, according to these maps and schedules I pulled up of the area you're in, it looks like there's a street side mek vendor about to pass by the corner near you.\\<\n\nHacker sat up as the images materialised in front of him.\n\n\\>Est-ce que thou would wish pour moi to go forth et obtenir but two measures of the ever reliable boisson known as coffee? \\< Sling sent.\n\n\\>Great idea, I'll take a mocha with about. oooh, eight sugars. \\<\n\n\\>Mais naturellement, mon droogie. \\<\n\nSlinger left his M.C.A.T. and headed down the stairs to street level while Hack crossed his legs on the seat and tried to meditate for a while.\n\nPresently he heard a tapping sound and instructed No. 1 to open up so Slinger could hand him one of the steaming cups.\n\n* Thanks Sling. - He unscrewed the top and took a sniff, finding it to be something decidedly different than what he was expecting. - Wait a tic, what is this?-\n\n* Vanille française. -\n\n* French Vanilla?-\n\n* All it had that had been fraîchement brassé. Tis just as high on le facteur de douceur. -\n\nHacker looked down at the coffee and then up at his horned, gun packing effendi.\n\n* Sling come on, our own kits won't touch this stuff with a ten foot pole, do you honestly expect me to be any different? I like my coffee strong, sweet and creamy, with just a hint of chocolate and maybe a little cinnamon on top. Not this new-age malarkey!-\n\nSlinger stared calmly back at his leader, waiting patiently for him until he'd finished his rather punchy statement.\n\n* Alone to well then, buvez-le I but shall.-\n\nHe reached out to take the cup off him but Hacker held it back.\n\n* Hold on there, I didn't say anything about not drinking it. -\n\nHe added a straw and began sipping at the steaming beverage through the small intake valve located on the underside of his head .\n\n* Actually it's not that bad; I think I can just about keep it down.-\n\n* Whatever yea wishes, mon frè re.-\n\nSlinger popped a cigar in his valve and turned to move back to his M.C.A.T.\n\n---\n\n* Back at the testing area...-\n\nL1 and R1 spun slowly towards the floor of the chamber as they continued to pleasure each other's more intimate regions. On the opposite side Kaitlynn had moved up to help ease her genetic twin onto the shaft of the badger, watching with a hint of relish as it slid slowly but effortlessly in.\n\n\"Oooohhhhg.\" The white vulpine clone groaned as she felt the oddly pleasing experience of being penetrated for the first time without all the associated pain that came with losing her virginity.\n\nWishing to experience it more, K1 grind her hips against M1's loving the feeling of the hard length filling and resisting against her contracting sex. As their more animalistic instincts began to take over, the badger grabbed her hips and began to lift her back off while K1 wrapped her arms around his neck to prevent drifting away in the zero-g environment as the two began to fuck.\n\nKaitlynn released the clone and swam away to observe the situation. She wasn't going to be able to do much more with that couple. Glancing over to the others she saw L1 had now also shifted to allow her panther lover to enter her depths while she grabbed a pillow and used her wings to propel the two of them away and onto another of the faces lower down, one where she could lie down comfortably while R1 took the reins.\n\nSeeing that she was also pretty much going to be a third wheel there too, the arctic vixen pondered as she looked back at her now heavily enraptured duplicate and came up with an idea. Turning herself around she swam to where she could get a look out on the intently watching individuals outside.\n\n\\\\Limly, I'm kinda getting phased out here. Tell K2 to come in here to join me.\\\\\n\n\\\\Okay.\\\\ The pink bunny walked over and gently whispered something in the other Kaitlynn clone's ear. K2 nodded and calmly went to open the door of the zero-g chamber and step inside.\n\n\"Hey wait a minute, what do you think you're doing?\" Michael asked.\n\nLimly just turned and smiled sweetly at the panther. \"Your plan on how to do this was a little flawed. We're making the necessary amendments.\"\n\nThe badger looked back with a mixture of confusion and scepticism as he turned to watch Kaitlynn now embracing and giving some extensive tongue action to her second clone before moving down to lick over her heavily aroused nipples as their black tipped tails curled around each other, much to Limly's increasing interest and amusement.\n\n\\Well, if nothing else, this should provide a fascinating insight into what constitutes as incest and what counts as masturbation.\\\n\nThe lapin pondered as a wayward paw reached down to slip under her dress and run along her increasingly soaked panties.\n\n\\\\Kaitlynn, if you don't mind my asking, what does that feel like? I mean kissing and fondling someone who's basically a less experienced version of you?\\\\\n\nKaitlynn lifted her head from her suckling and gazed at her friend in a 'know-but-won't-tell' way.\n\n\\\\You have the means, why don't you find out for yourself?\\\\\n\nShe winked before going back to suck on K2's tits, relishing each and ever moan that came from the clone showing she was enjoying herself.\n\n\\Oooh, perhaps I could probably do with some more 'research' on the subject.\\\n\nShe groaned to herself as her eyes again found their way to L2 who was now kneeling on the floor with both paws thrust between her legs, looking like she was enjoying the visual display but at the same time yearning to want to join in.\n\nFinally deciding she'd watched for long enough, Limly walked over to embrace her clone and give her a gentle kiss.\n\n\"I think you've spent enough time on the sidelines, let's get you in on the action.\"\n\nShe helped her stand up and walk over to the comfortable lay out of pillows and blankets that surrounded a machine shaped like some oversized, silver plated burrow bush.\n\nTenderly she lay L2 down before beginning to dispense with her own garments, watching a glimmer of excitement cross the lapin's eyes as she unzipped and dispensed with the coat she was wearing then pulled off her shirt to expose her own magnificent pair of breasts.\n\nA small coo emanated from the lapin's lips as her twin began to pant excitedly at the sight and then reached up to fondle them.\n\n\\Oooh, Deus her paws are warm!\\\n\nLimly sighed softly, relishing the long forgotten sensation of having two flesh and bone paws feel and carress her pink furred globes. Marvelling at the sight of L2's innocent but wondering face as she ran her thumbs in small circles over the nipples, Limly reached down to slide her paws under the waist band of her skirt and let it glide slowly down her thighs, being joined soon after by her panties.\n\nNow as bare and exposed as her genetic twin, Limly gently placed her paws over L2's and held them in place as she climbed on top of the clone bunny and lay down.\n\nFor a while the two morphs just stayed as they were, eyes slowly scanning over the other's body, marvelling at how flawlessly identical they were (save for the absence of Limly's bionic appendages), until the bunny on top sat up and unfolded her wings. Gentle she used the tips to lightly glide over L2's arms, starting at her paws and then lightly tracing up her arm, up along her shoulders and then down over her breasts. L2 giggled slightly at the feeling of the white feathers grazing her sensitive nubs before they proceeded downwards to follow the outline of her hips and the top of her legs before moving inwards to stroke along the dampness of her slit, all of which made the clone bunny squirm and tense her own wings with the tiny pin pricks of pleasure that the massage produced.\n\n\"You are so cute.\" Limly stated happily as she withdrew the wings and leaned down so she could hug and kiss her again. \"And you smell so divine.\"\n\n\"I...I smell the same as you smell.\" L2 replied in between pleasurful sighs.\n\n\"Uh, okay then, I smell divine.\"\n\nLim stopped as she thought about the statement.\n\n\"But then it was a compliment directed at you as an individual, and not as a representation of me, so technically I shouldn't have tried to correct myself. But then again we are essentially the same morph, and possess the same qualities, so in that regard my latter statement would still be correct as...damn this whole thing is really messing with my head!\"\n\nLimly sighed and held her cranium.\n\n\"May I suggest you not think about it and just enjoy what's happening?\" L2 said as she leaned up to give each of Lim's nipples a delicious lick.\n\nThe pink bunny looked down at her clone and then smiled.\n\n\"So you've also got some of my common sense too huh?\" She sighed and then moaned softly as L2 took the nub in her mouth and bit down very gently with her buck teeth before opening her mouth to encompass the areola and suck on that too. Sighing Limly took the bunny's lop ears in her paws and stroked them lovingly as a long bolt of pleasure moved up her spine from the milking of her tit.\n\nMoaning a bit more loudly, Lim moved her bionic paw to run through L2's hair, gazing down in fascination as the replicated lapin switched to the other tit and began to love that one with equal tenderness and care. As much as she still found the whole concept of what she was doing to be a trifle bizarre, Limly did have to admit she was nonetheless enjoying getting to indulge in intimate activities with herself. L2 clearly had all the knowledge of what Limly liked to have done to her and where she liked to be touched. And if the lapin's own caresses were anything to go by, she also had the same sensitive areas and pleasure zones, a fact that was immediately confirmed when one of Limly's wandering fingers trailed down to brush over the base of L2's cute little tail, producing a muffled squeak of pleasure.\n\n\\So she has the same ticklish spot as me down there too. Cool!\\\n\nNow mapping out the areas where she could bring the most pleasure to her cloned self, Limly brought her bionic hand up and extended a small electrified needle out of her index finger.\n\n\"I normally only use this for when I have to do maintenance on my assistants, or if I lose my security cards and have to start picking locks.\" She giggled. \"But on a low voltage it should feel quite nice.\"\n\nShe began to expertly trace a series of circles and crosses over L2's left nipple, watching in bemusement as the cloned bunny gasped and then mmmphed at the feeling of her tender flesh being assaulted by small currents of electricity. Glad that it was having the desired effect, Limly then reached up and dragged the needle across the bone parts of L2's wings, pausing to hold it on the joints as they were more sensitive.\n\n\"Ooohh, that's good.\" L2 groaned, taking her mouth off of Limly's well sucked tits so she could bury her face in between the huge inviting mounds.\n\nNodding, Limly then ran it down her spine before tracing it over her hips to her stomach. There she held it for a second before finally letting it head down in between the replicant's legs and over the now drenched folds of her pussy.\n\n\"Ngh...oooogghhh...dayyyusss!\" L2 almost screamed as she felt electricity now being sent over her wet lips, the feeling being akin to having millions of microscopic mouths nibbling constantly on the slick flesh.\n\nLimly chuckled and continued to trace lightly over the folds until she heard a clumping sound and looked up to see Ricky standing over them.\n\n\"Sorry to interrupt ladies, but I may know of a way to make things even better for you.\" He rolled up his sleeve, revealing a remote control cuff of some kind grafted onto his arm which he aimed at the silver burrow bush and selected ACTIVATE.\n\nWith a flurry the bush seemed to expand outward and then split apart, revealing that it was in fact a mass of writhing bio-mechanical tentacles, several huge ones forming a ring on the outside, followed by ones of decreasing size but increasing length on each successive inner ring.\n\n\"Though, I doubt it needs much explaining.\" Ricky shrugged\n\n\"Oh wow!\" Limly said, which she then followed up with a small squeak of surprise as two of the largest tentacles wrapped around her and L2 and lifted them up into the air.\n\n\"This is our company's latest foray in multi-purpose tentacle drones.\" Ricky explained. \"Each set is equipped to give you sexual gratification in a different manner.\"\n\n\"So I see.\" Limly gasped when two of the medium sized tentacles gently wrapped around her legs and pulled them apart so another of the larger ones could rub itself against her soaked pussy. \"I was...nn gah...wondering when...ooogh... the Network would finally make this stuff available c-commercially.\"\n\nLimly grit her teeth and tried not to moan too loudly at the conflicting sensations of a cold metallic part of the tentacle rubbing across her folds followed by a warm organic component and then back again. As she continued to gasp and murr at the combined feeling produced she noticed L2 was being lifted higher so that her own twat was on level with Limly's face.\n\n\"I like the way it thinks.\" The pink bunny smirked before leaning in to lap at her clone lover's sex.\n\n\"Still though, just having it cater to two morphs doesn't really constitute a fair test.\" The panther looked behind him at Michael who was still watching the action inside the zero-g chamber and R2 and M2 who were doing the same.\n\n\"What the heck, everyone else is doing it, might as well join in.\" He walked over to the remaining clone of himself and patted him on the shoulder. \"Right I think I finally found some use for you, ditch the clothing and come over here.\"\n\nR2 nodded and began to undress as Michael looked on aghast. \"Rick, you, you can't really be thinking of...\"\n\n\"Oh come on, it's not like you haven't been thinking about it too.\" Ricky started shedding his own clothes, making sure to be provocatively slow and playful just annoy his badger counterpart as he leaned in to whisper.\n\n\"Besides, be thankful those bunnies finally gave me an excuse to introduce the Eroto-Octopod into the action. Now all we have to do is let your guy have a whirl on it too and we've done our bit.\" He grinned and stroked Mike's muzzle with his tail before stripping out of his boxers and taking hold of R2 to walk off paw in paw.\n\n\"But how am I supposed to...oh for the love of the Deus!!\"\n\nMike groaned in realisation at what he'd now been landed to do. Groaning he ran both paws over his black and white hair as he looked over at his cloned self, noticing for the first time how well the black tank top and jeans M2 was wearing complimented his fairly muscular physique.\n\n\\Well, now that I think about it...\\\n\n---\n\n* 9:32 p.m.-\n\n\\>Okay, it's a video game, three words...\\<\n\n\\>Of the tout entourant platform HV2, it is but non. \\<\n\n\\>Right, right. First word is...ummm....looks like something writhing and...\\<\n\n* Ooh! Ooh! Is it Metal Gear Solid???- M.C.A.T.S. Nos. 1 and 2 both shouted out excitedly.\n\n* What?? Oh come on, that's nothing like Metal Gear Solid!!- Hacker said in indignation.\n\n* Oh, sorry I got mixed up with the hand gestures there. - No. 2 said.\n\n* Yeah, the whole snake thing you were doing made me think you were...-\n\n* Snake? What snake? - Hacker interrupted his cyber feline. - Dear girl, I believe I'd know if I were miming a snake! -\n\n\\>Well, your arms were moving in a decidedly serpent like manner, Hack.\\< Scratch cut in over the cerebral link. \\>And seeing as the M.C.A.T.S.' s current AI development level is still only at 41.623% of what we operate at, it's highly conceivable that they may find such a specific gesture to be misleading, thus resulting in the confusion and their subsequent incorrect...\\<\n\n\\>Yes, yes, yes alright. Let's just forget about charades and try to think of something else so our time here isn't so dull.\\<\n\n\\>Well I could see what's being broadcast on the Network. \\< Scratch suggested. \\>Or maybe we could sing a few songs or something. \\<\n\n* Yay! Let's do the ones everybody sings at football stadiums! - No.1 exclaimed.\n\nHacker momentarily viewed the console in front of him with horror before leaning back in his chair and stared up at the ceiling. -\\Then again, there's a lot to be said for dull.\\-\n\n---\n\n* Meanwhile...-\n\nRicky was making headway into his own escapade, having decided to take the initiative and engage R2 in quite a passionate kiss as several more of the largest tentacles picked them up and brought them to join the two bunnies dangling over the centre of the mek. Ricky was a little surprised to find his mouth tasted so sanitary, given that he wasn't one for spending an excessive amount of time on dental hygiene, but he just put it down to the fact that the clones were 'new' and therefore hadn't had any time to be exposed to the elements of the planet as the kiss deepened, producing a noticeable spark of excitement for both morph as they were slowly wound together in the tentacles.\n\n\"G-glad to...oaggh...have you with us.\" Limly got out, writhing and moaning as a smaller tentacle equipped with an organically grown tongue continued to lick over her love box while she continued to do the same to her clone's.\n\n\"Well, it seemed unfair to not give you two ladies some company.\" Ricky smiled, murring lightly to himself as R2 started feeling over his chest, the smooth kitty pads feeling oh so good against his fur as they circled over the nipples in curiosity before slowly gliding down over his developing abs like two snails that were enjoying feeling the contours of the land sliding under their soft underbellys.\n\n\"Like what you see?\" The feline asked.\n\nAs a response the clone panther nodded his head before leaning down to lick through the black fur. \"I am very grateful to have been generated from such a fine specimen of your series.\"\n\n\"Glad to finally hear a respectful comment on that matter.\" Rick grinned; silently wondering in astonishment at how this thing could possibly know how big a turn on it was for him to be licked.\n\n\\Because he's a copy of you, remember?\\\n\nRick nodded and smiled at being caught out by such an obvious answer. Deciding it was better to just enjoy the experience without worrying about it, the feline let himself surrender to the gentle caresses of his counterpart, mewling in contentment as R2's tongue eventually found its way down his body and onto the now rock hard length of his shaft. Gasping slightly, Rick squirmed against the bond of the tentacles supporting him above his clone. Despite his relatively easy going approach to the challenge, Rick had actually had relatively few males as sexual partners, and as far as he could remember none of them had been felines. Therefore it had come as a bit of a surprise when he felt the rough panther tongue of his duplicate running over his meat, producing a sensation that, while still relatively nice, was marred somewhat by the wierdness of it.\n\n\"Ergh, go a little slower R2, we're not racing anybody here.\"\n\n\"Pity, I was almost going to suggest that same thing.\"\n\nRick looked down to see Mike approaching them with M2 in tow.\n\n\"Finally decided to join us?\" The panther smirked.\n\n\"Not like I had much of a choice.\" The badger stated before emitting a small sigh as the two of them were also picked up by the tentacles.\n\nWell, this certainly is turning out to be a hit. Limly mused, groaning more intensely when two of the thinnest tentacles snaked up her outstretched legs and then in between them so they could gently pull the folds of her treasure open, thus allowing the tongue tentacle to proceed in deeper with its oral assault. \\\\How are you...oof...doing Kaitlynn?\\\\\n\n\\\\Getting...oh Deus...close, and ahhhh loving every minute of it!!\\\\ The arctic vixen managed to get out in between her own tongue attack on the lips of her clone while she rigorously fingered her in the depths of her chambers. A cacophony of yips, growls and moans reverberated around the interior as the two couples around her got closer and closer to their own finale, both vixen and bunny bouncing madly on the shafts of their lovers as if tied to them with elastic.\n\nDetermined to make sure she and her partner were the first to peak, Kaitlynn leaned down to grab ahold of K1's tail and slowly coax it up to 'scrub' over the dripping wet folds of her pussy, being sure the black bristles of the tip scratched against her clit and helping to add to the torrential waves of pleasurable euphoria that were coursing through the clone vulpine's body. Sensing she was nearing the point of no return, Kaitlynn decided to try her last tactic.\n\nDeftly she parted K2's petals a little further and then added her other two fingers, slowly stoking in a 'come hither' like gesture that allowed her to inch the rest of her paw in while curling her fingers around until K2 found her womb filled up with a pleasantly sized fist.\n\nKnew she'd have the same liking as me for this. Kaitlynn smirked happily as she moved her fist around, gently trying to make sure she didn't accidentally hurt her clone while she used her strong, prehensile tongue to keep flicking at her clit.\n\nThe move worked, with a world record setting \"YIP!!\" followed by a deafening scream, K2 went flying off the edge into orgasmic heaven, thrashing around like an eel and sending the two of them twirling like crazy into one of the plastocile faces before going limp with the bliss of final release.\n\nSmiling triumphantly, Kaitlynn eased her paw out and licked it clean. \\Let it never be said I don't know how to get the jump on someb-\\\n\nHer thoughts were interrupted when she felt a somewhat tired but still eager tongue recommence with its lapping of her love box as a pair of paws slowly reached up to grab her ass.\n\nSurprised she lifted her head to gaze in amazment behind her to see K2 was still trying to pleasure her.\n\n\"Ooogh, durable little thing aren't you?\" She mused.\n\n\"I just want to make you feel as good.\" The clone vixen panted as she eased two fingers into the tight pucker of Kaitlynn's ass.\n\n\"Eraaaggh, well that's a...ngah!...great way to go about it!\" The vulpine grabbed her twin's legs and grit her teeth, knowing that after all the licking, fingering and teasing she wasn't going to last much longer herself.\n\nThings finally came to a head when K2 gently began to open Kaitlynn's tight anal ring open and then lifted her weary head slightly so she could let her tongue slip into the hole, the feeling of a warm slick mouth muscle in her rear passageway proving enough to do the vixen in too.\n\nKaitlynn's scream of peaking proved to be almost louder than her clone counterpart. Her frantic clawing and squeezing of her legs certainly proved to be superior as she sent a cloud of juicy globules out over K2's face which she was all too happy to lap up.\n\nSated at last, Kaitlynn let go of her genetic sister and pushed herself off enough so she could turn around and embrace her again.\n\n\"Well, you most certainly have to be the most interesting partner I've had in a long time.\" She said licking over her black streaked muzzle.\n\n\"I...(pant)...am glad you found me to be so.\" K2 got out. \"I sensed...(pant)...that you might enjoy having that area pleasured...(pant)...as it's the same area where I felt a twinge of want when you were doing the same to me.\"\n\nKaitlynn had to laugh at that.\n\n\"That's the problem with being so open to this sort of thing, eventually it gets to the point where everybody knows more about my body than I do.\" She said as something wet and strong smelling splattered against her muzzle. Surprised, she licked it off and found it to have a exceptionally distinct taste, one that could only indicate...\n\nStill smiling knowingly, Kaitlynn turned and noticed her other clone as well as Limly's, Michael's and Rick's were also floating lazily around in obvious post-coital glow, all panting and licking at each other as small globs of an unmistakable white substance floated around with them.\n\n\\Figures, I do it first and everyone just has to join in.\\ The vixen laughed again before laying her head back down on her duplicate's chest and nuzzling the sweat covered fur.\n\nMeanwhile, in the grip of the tentacled mek, Limly was beginning to feel the onset of her climax as her sex was relentlessly tickled and lapped at by the tongue tentacle while her head remained trapped between the legs of L2.\n\nOpposite her, the two panthers and badgers had been formed into a rather lewd four way chain with each other's head positioned in the next one's groin.\n\nIt was turning out to be quite an enjoyable position for all four as the remaining outer tentacles were doing an excellent job of supporting them via splitting their ends open into a flower like design so that each could lean safely and comfortably either on their backs or their chests while they sucked each other off.\n\nMuffled groans and moans were coming from all sides as each morph slid their mouths up and down on the shaft in front of them, a shared feeling of pleasant satisfaction radiating through their bodies.\n\nDeus how I've missed being able to do this! Ricky thought as he bobbed his maw on the shaft of the feline in front of him, feeling just a little sad that it was R2 and not Michael as it had been many times before.\n\nMichael on the other hand was finding the experience to be somewhat new and surprisingly nice. He'd never given much thought towards being in the position of the one doing the sucking, preferring instead to take the dominant role most of the time. Yet as he hung there, gently lapping and letting the cock of his genetic replicant slide into his muzzle, he had to admit he was getting a fair deal of pleasure from doing so. M2's cock tasted as smooth as he'd imagined his own to be, and the slightly salty taste he got every so often when he licked the clone's balls mingled nicely with the small jets of precum that were splashing onto his tongue.\n\nJust one thing still bothered him though...\n\n\"Rick, hey Rick!\" He said quietly, trying to talk around the cock in his mouth while being somewhat blinded by the pleasure coming from R2's tender mouth.\n\n\"Yeah?\" Ricky's response came back as equally muffled.\n\n\"Just to confirm, we're not going to be subjected to the same treatment as these things are right?\"\n\nRicky just sighed, producing a low mewl of approval from R2 as the slight vibrating sensations added another twang of pleasure to what the clone feline was already experiencing.\n\n\"Yes you worry wart, I made sure to not calibrate the two tentacles we're being supported by.\" He held up the control cuff to confirm his statements.\n\n\"But what if one of the other one's joins in?\"\n\n\"I'll be sure to switch off it's alternate function too, now stop worrying and get back to sucking. It's not nice to leave yourself hanging like that.\"\n\nMike raised an eyebrow in confusion, until he looked back up and noticed M2 looking down on him with a wanting, somewhat pleading expression, as if silently begging him to continue.\n\nSubmissiveness does not become me. Mike thought as he licked up some more precum that had dribbled down the clone's shaft before going back to work on sucking it.\n\nSeeing all was well, Rick looked over to the two bunnies and noticed how close they seemed to be getting to climax.\n\nSnickering to himself, the feline entered another command on the cuff with the result that two tentacles equipped with octopus like suction pads slithered upwards and clamped over both lapin's breasts. With their sensitive mammaries now being suckled strongly, Limly and L2 were soon hitting an all new range of octaves with their panting and moaning as one mammoth bolt of pleasure after another surged through their bodies, eventually culminating in both convulsing and screaming out almost at the same time as two no doubt substantially powerful orgasms ripped through them, ravaging their bodies and sending an impressively long stream of juices spewing out of their pussies as several grappler tentacles reached down to grab hold of their white feathered wings and prevent them from flailing around too much.\n\nChuckling again, Rick watched as Limly and L2 were then gently lowered back down onto the pillows, basking in the after glow as they embraced and smothered each other with kisses.\n\n\\Okay, now that they've been sated, let's take things up a notch here.\\\n\nRick entered another command and soon found himself mewling more intensely as a hollowed out tentacle moved up and slipped over his as yet untouched shaft (he being on the bottom end of the chain). While not quite as gentle or innovative as a real morph, it felt good enough to the panther as he resumed suckling on his clone. The chain continued as the sexual ecstasy each morph felt continued to pile on. R2 was demonstrating a rather intrinsic technique of wrapping his rough tongue around Michael's shaft and then slowly pulling it back into his mouth, something which the badger guessed must have been something Rick had been planning to try on him at some point. He found it to be quite nice as he tried his own technique of flicking the tip of his tongue up and down against the sensitive head of M2's penis, marvelling at the effect it produced as more approving moans emanated out from above. Intrigued he reached up to run a paw down the fairly well toned abs of his duplicate, noting that while not as buff as he'd like still seemed to indicate that he'd made a remarkable amount of progress in improving himself over the past few years.\n\nEventually, however, all pondering on the subject ceased to matter as Mike soon felt a tightening in his balls and sensed he was getting close to finishing up, no doubt so too was his clone based on all the moaning he was hearing.\n\nBelow him, Rick was beginning to feel the same way. Wanting to make sure his climax was as earth shattering as possible he typed in one final command and grunted as a smaller tentacle with a self-lubing phallic shaped head gently rubbed across his butt cheeks before pushing itself in and pistoning in and out.\n\nRick's jaw tightened, though he made sure to not bite down too hard on R2's shaft as he felt himself teeter on the brink before finally toppling over into spoogey bliss. As he murred and growled around the clone panther's cock, R2 also felt himself slip and tumble past the point of no return, leading to Mike following suite as the clone panther sucked more vigorously on his pole while speeded on by the throes of orgasmic euphoria. The chain at last concluded with M2 flooding the badger's mouth with his first ever serving of creamy goodness, leaving Mike to gag and spit somewhat do to being caught rather off guard as the four were also lowered down back onto the pillows.\n\nFor a while nobody said anything, all being too tired and worn out from the orgy to think of anything to say.\n\n\"Well...(pant)...I have to say...(pant)...that was most enjoyable.\" Limly finally got out as she disentangled from her clone and lay next to her. \"Certainly...(pant)...the most exertive.\"\n\n\"Glad to hear it.\" Rick said as he extracted himself from the pile of male morphs and switched off the tentacle machine. \"Course we'd appreciate if you could fill out a little survey report but that can wait until after you've had a few minutes to rest.\"\n\n\"That...(pant)...I could do with.\" She leaned over to kiss L2 again. \"Damn...(pant)...I've forgotten what an energetic...(pant)...little bunny I am.\"\n\nShe tried to contact Kaitlynn over the cerebral link but only got a low hum in response, the sign of a brain in the blissful peace of slumber. Sighing happily she draped her wings over the two like a blanket and wrapped an arm around her clone. Both of their eyes slipped closed soon after.\n\n---\n\n* 10:00 p.m.-\n\n\"Rick, yo Ricky.\" Mike's whispered voice emanated out amidst the silence of the room.\n\n\"Yeah, right here.\" The panther cautiously moved the sleeping body of R2 aside and sat up.\n\n\"I don't think our guests are going to be waking up any time soon. Get your pants back on and break out the wares. It's time to complete our business for the night.\"\n\nRicky checked the time on his control cuff and nodded. \"So it is.\" He carefully made his way over to his clothes and began to get dressed again. \"Well?\"\n\n\"Well what?\" The badger asked as he pulled his shirt back on.\n\n\"Can you now admit this was a good idea?\"\n\nMichael looked around at the numerous sprawled bodies and then at the ones still lazily floating around in the zero-g chamber. Sighing he tugged his coat on and rolled his eyes.\n\n\"Okay you win this once, but next time we need to plan this a little further ahead so we don't have to rely on the slim chance of some broad overhearing us and volunteering.\" He leaned down and gently stroked over Limly's body, a satisfied smile coming over his face when she didn't respond.\n\n\"Excellent, those bio-electric siphoning devices really have proven their worth. My compliments to the C.S.F. for coming up with the idea.\" He chuckled.\n\n\"And for making it so easy to pull the plans off the Network and have our own built for half the price.\" Ricky mused as he tip toed back to the tentacle mek and entered another command. \"Made it that much easier for us to slip a few into the organic components of this thing as well as in the chamber, have them drain the energy off our little test group here,\"\n\nAll the tentacle rings went limp and flopped onto the ground like some exotic silver flower wilting and dying.\n\n\"And then transfer the power to our latest batch of nano-augmentations so they'll be nice, charged up and ready to be sold.\"\n\nA box, hooked up to many charging nodes, each of which was connected to one of the tentacles, rose up. Inside were numerous capsules filled with a cloudy blue substance that surged with electricity.\n\nMike nodded as he nudged M2 with his foot and got no response.\n\n\"I still can't believe this worked. I mean you'd think the Network computers would pay a little more closer attention to two morphs who've been paroled and landed some cushy jobs at a company like this.\" He shook his head in disbelief.\n\n\"Their fault is our gain. We play this straight tonight and tomorrow those 'debt collectors' that were hounding us will be getting a very nice hefty deposit that should more than cover any 'late payment' or 'compound' charges. \" Rick mused as he ran a scanner over the nano-augmentation meks suspended in the liquid. \"Perfect, all are at full power and ready to go.\"\n\n\"Great, how long will these guys be out?\" Mike asked as he nudged over the body of M2.\n\n\"Long enough for us to do our business and get out of here.\" The feline checked over the still sleeping body of R2.\n\n\"Gotta admit though, that whole cloning thing was pretty original.\" Ricky gently felt over his shoulder. \"And I guess if I had to be honest, it was kind of cool getting to do that to myself.\"\n\n\"Whatever, I'm just glad it didn't take much to subdue them.\" He leaned down and ran a paw over the black stripes on his clone's face. \"I mean the caressing and sucking off was fine, but I draw the line at letting myself be mounted, genetic copy or not.\"\n\n\"Oh darn.\" Ricky mused sadly as he hefted up the augmentation capsules and headed for the building's rear entrance. \"And I was kinda hoping tonight would provide the foundations for a reconciliation.\"\n\n\"Face it Rick, now is just too soon for me to be worrying about that.\" Mike groaned as he followed the panther out. \"Still though, '500 solaris for participating'? That was a rather cruel touch.\"\n\n\"I'd like to see you come up with something better on the spot.\"\n\n---\n\n* 10:04 p.m.-\n\n\\>Right, he's landed on 50,000, and he's selecting 'k' ,of which there is one.\\< Scratch narrated as he scratched his silver head at what was happening on the program he was watching.\n\n\\>Hmm, now she's landed on 15,000 and is opting to buy a clue.

The guys we've been waiting for! -\n\nAt the sight of Ricky and Michael sneaking out of the back door and into the alley with their wares, Hack suddenly became a lot more active.\n\n* Great chank, so it is! - He grabbed his pair of chainsaw enabled wakizashi swords that were lying behind him and strapped them to his back as he leapt out of No.1 and shot his coat sleeves, causing his elegant RX-79 Plas-pistols to come sliding out of their wrist holsters into his hands.\n\n\\-Thank the Deus! I was getting ready to dish out our first rent payment for this space.-\n\n* Le temps est venu then, mon droogie. - Sling stated as he tossed his cigar away and hovered towards his leader, a plasma rifle slung over his shoulder and Pulse-blasters at the ready. - Run in the cutter, shall we? -\n\n * Damn right! Nos. 1 and 2, split up and block off the alley! Slinger, you take position and cover the other side in case anyone else shows up. If we take these guys down before they buyers get here they'll most likely just assume they've been stood up and go home. Got that?-\n\n* Yes sir! - M.C.A.T.S. 1 and 2 cried in unison before rearing up and taking off down opposite sides of the building, the feline speed and agility they'd been programmed with showing through in spades as the two massive meks gracefully leapt from fire escape to window sill to balcony and so on with hardly any sound.\n\n\\>Scratch, contact the C.S.F. branch for this area and inform them we have some property they may want to come and claim.\\<\n\n\\>All over it Hack, they'll be there in about five minutes.\\<\n\n* Right then, tally ho! - Hacker said leaping off the roof and doing a series of somersaults down to the ground below as Slinger followed suite...\n\n---\n\n* Back Inside...-\n\nGradually Limly began to stir after her light doze, a content smile creeping across her face as she awakened to the sight of the still sleeping form of L2, noting how angelic she looked with her wings splayed out over the pillows and her face set in a look of purest blissful innocence.\n\nNo wonder everybody says I'm such a pleasant sight in the morning. The lapin chuckled as she sat up and tried to smooth out her hair. It'd gotten rather dishevelled during the orgy but she could live with it until she got home and took a shower.\n\n\"Okay you guys, I think I'm ready to deliver your first glowing report of customer satisfa-\".\n\nLimly looked around and stopped when she noticed the collection of males next to her was now two fewer than it had been before.\n\n\"Rick? Mike? Uh, hello?\"\n\nShe sat up and took a closer look at the panther and the badger. Though it was rather hard to determine, her gut instinct told her they were the clones.\n\n\\\\Lim? Limly, you there?\\\\ Kaitlynn's voice reverberated through the lapin's brain.\n\n\\\\Yeah I am, but strangely it appears our hosts aren't. How are you feeling?\\\\\n\n\\\\Surprisingly more drained than I normally do after just one go. And I've found something that's made me think we've been had here.\\\\\n\nLimly turned to the zero-g chamber and walked over to see her arctic vixen friend scrubbing at the face she'd been leaning against with a decidedly less friendly expression now taking residence on her features.\n\n\\\\What do you mean?\\\\\n\n\\\\Let me out and I'll show you.\\\\\n\nThe lapin tinkered with the holo-panel on the outside and switched off the anti-gravity field, leaving the occupants to crash to a most undignified halt on the floor.\n\n\"Oogh.\" Kaitlynn groaned as she got up.\n\n\"So what's the matter?\" Limly asked as she opened the door.\n\n\"These,\" Kaitlynn held her paw out to reveal what appeared to be a small white smudge on the black fur. Limly brought it closer to her face to examine it but couldn't quite see what the vixen was getting at.\n\n\"Kaitlynn, I don't understand, what's going on here?\"\n\n\"You got a nano-scanner, or something that can detect metal installed on that bionic paw of yours?\"\n\nLimly nodded and activated a device on her index finger. A small beam of blue light came out of the digit which she focused on the smudge while it took a reading, determining it to in fact be composed of several thousand microscopic meks.\n\n\"Nanites!\" Limly exclaimed as Kaitlynn nodded. \"But, why?\"\n\n\"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling they weren't meant as a part of the experience.\" She leaned down and gently shook K1, watching with disdain as the clone arctic vixen groggily attempted to wake up.\n\n\"Hmmm,\" Kaitlynn walked out and around to the back of the chamber. Searching it over she managed to uncover a tiny micro transponder attached to the bottom. \"Aha! Thought so!\"\n\n\"What is it, Kaitlynn?\" Limly asked.\n\n\"Something our dear 'hosts' neglected to mention.\" Kaitlynn hurried over to the trail of her clothing and began searching through it.\n\n\"Those are bio-electric siphoning devices, tiny little non-sentient machines designed to adhere to a surface of some kind and slowly drain the bio-electric energy off anything living that comes in contact with it.\"\n\nThe vixen grimaced.\n\n\"Those bastard Vereor troops tried the same technique on me and Dralion when we were their prisoners. They'd torture us through the day then had those things smeared over the mattress and walls of our cells so we'd wake up feeling even worse than we did the previous night.\"\n\nLimly went wide eyed and cringed. \"Deus, that sounds awful.\"\n\n\"I suspect that tentacle thing is also covered in them.\" Kaitlynn said, now more in puzzlement as she checked her coat. \"Hey, are you missing anything? All my stuff is still here.\"\n\nLimly rushed over to her clothes and checked through them. \"Nope, everything's accounted for.\"\n\nThe arctic vixen cocked an eyebrow and scratched her head. \"So they knock us out but don't attempt to swindle or kidnap us. Okay I gotta admit, this is a new one on me.\"\n\n\"Maybe they didn't intend for us to come to so soon after.\" Limly mused.\n\n\"Sounds most likely.\" Kaitlynn responded before smiling at her friend.\n\n\"Obviously didn't anticipate those organic self-charging batteries fitted to all the replacement organs you made for me. Must've given me the extra boost I needed to compensate for the drain.\" She said while gently stroking the lapin's white hair, causing her to blush. \"Looks like I again owe you one.\"\n\n\"Well after seeing how well they worked on my new legs, and the rest of my body, it seemed likely that you'd find them to be of great help too.\" She smiled back, just before a distant sound of plasma beams searing through the air reverberated from outside, followed by some shouting and a small explosion.\n\n\"What was that?\" Both lapin and vixen whirled around in alarm as more plasma fire echoed out followed by more shouting.\n\n\"Sounds like it's coming from the rear of the building.\" Limly said.\n\n\"Get dressed Lim, and see what you can do to rouse our friends.\" Kaitlynn ordered as she slipped her panties back on while sending out a mental command.\n\n\\\\7, 9, move to the rear of the building and see what's going on. The last thing I need tonight is to get involved in a shoot out.\\\\ The vixen groaned as she tugged her shirt over her torso and then pulled her biker jacket on over it. With that done she stepped back into the chamber to help get K1 and the other clones up and help them dress as whatever scuffle was happening outside continued.\n\n\\Please Deus, don't let this happen now! Not with Lim still in the vicinity!\\\n\nPresently, after about another five minutes or so, the firing ceased, to be replaced by the wailing of sirens and the whooshing sound of a craft setting down on the ground nearby.\n\n\"Well whatever that was about, it sounds like the C.S.F. put a stop to it.\" Limly said in relief.\n\n\"Indeed, though I think they may have made a little more haste.\" She said as she contacted their M.C.A.T.S. \\\\So what happened out there 7?\\\\\n\n\\>Miss Kaitlynn, you have to come see this! Hacker and Slinger are out here and have just had Mr. Rick and Mr. Michael arrested!\\< The robotic feline sent back.\n\n\"What!?\" Kaitlynn ran across the room and practicall ripped the rear door off to be greeted with the sight of two C.S.F. agents, a ring tailed lemur and a rhino, leading a rather dishevelled and slightly scorched Rick and Mike into their D-wagon.\n\n\"You know you would never have taken us alive if these guys hadn't shown up!\" Mike said with an underlying hint of disdain.\n\n* Who says we wanted to? Given all the heart ache you've been causing lately there are probably a lot of morphs who'd pay double to see you dead.- Hacker replied as the rhino slammed the craft door shut on the unfortunate morphs.\n\n\"Good work as always guys, the Network computers had a inkling those two wouldn't take long to go back to their old ways.\" He gave the two bots a slight smile.\n\n* Good thing they had us to call upon then, to find and corner them discreetly.- Hacker said before handing the box of augmentation capsules back to the lemur.\n\n * Here, I believe you'll have far more use for these than we will. -\n\nThe agent took the box and looked over its contents with surprise.\n\n\"Hmm, guess we should've suspected as much. Thanks again.\"\n\n* Do have fun with the incarceration! And be sure to send any more experimental hardware you might have that needs testing our way - Hack patted the side of M.C.A.T.- 01 as he waved the craft off.\n\n* Just as long as you don't expect to ever get it back.- He said under his breath as a suitably shocked Kaitlynn stepped out of the building.\n\n\"Boss?\"\n\n* Huh?- Hacker turned around to regard his vixen tracker in surprise as Limly came out from behind with the clones in tow. - Kaity?-\n\n* Hacker!!- Nos. 7 and 9 bounded out as they came running up to the group along with 1 and 2. - What a pleasant surprise this is! -\n\n\\-7? 9? What the?-\n\n\"What's going on here? What was all the shooting about? Why did I just see Rick and Mike being led away?\" Kaitlynn began questioning before the little mek silenced her.\n\n* First my questions, then yours. First, what are YOU doing here? Second, how do you know the names of those two? Third, why pray do my sensors indicate that there are in fact three of you here? And fourth,-\n\nHe craned his neck to look behind at the pink winged lapin.\n\n\\-Who the daemon is that drop dead gorgeous bunny with you??- He said with a rather eagerly interested expression in his red visored eyes.\n\nKaitlynn exhaled and grinned as she recognised the regular signs that occurred whenever her robot leader saw any babe with long ears and bucked teeth.\n\n\"Well, we encountered them by chance at a restauarant last night. They claimed they were recruiting morphs to do some test runs on some new merchandise their company was producing that was suited to orgies. With some promise of monetary compensation of course.\" Kaitlynn grumbled at the realisation as Hacker nodded.\n\n* Okay, so far this is sounding exactly like something you'd normally be apt to doing, so please continue.- The little robot said.\n\n* So she used the ment'hesesk and xaerotroth organisms I was carrying to create a few extra copies of her, Miss Limly and Mr. Rick and Mr. Mike,- No. 7 continued\n\n\"And as you just heard my name is Limly, Limly Sivitrii.\" The pink bunny giggled as she presented herself to the mek.\n\n\"She's a long time friend of mine.\" Kaitlynn shrugged. \"One of the fortunate ones.\" She added with a hint of sadness, while Hacker looked on at the clones in bemusement.\n\n* I was wondering what happened to those specimens I sent you to retrieve from the Network labs for safekeeping. Oh well, it's what they were supposed to be used for any way. -\n\nHis bemused expression grew as he approached the lapin - So you're the Limly Sivitrii who helped patch this girl and her significant other back together after we rescued them from the Vereor, huh?. -\n\n\"Yep that's me.\" She said, picking the bot up and giving him a nice big hug, with the unexpected result that, due to his rather miniscule stature, Hack ended up with his head in between her ample breasts.\n\n\"It's such an honour to finally meet you.\"\n\nThe only sound she got as a response was the clattering of Hacker's pistols being dropped on the ground in shock.\n\n\\\\Sorry, she get's rather affectionate about these things.\\\\ The vixen giggled.\n\nHacker slowly swivelled his eyes around to look behind at her.\n\n\\>Does it look like I'm complaining?\\< He sent as he was lowered back down.\n\n* Well it's a pleasure to finally run into you too. I've been meaning to send a thank you along the way to you for bringing Kaity and Dralion back up to full strength. They've both proven to be exceptionally trustworthy and able additions to our organisation.-\n\n* True horror show avec a PPK-80 plasma cannon dear Kaitlynn is too.- Slinger nodded.\n\n\"Yeah, well I'll be sure to make liberal use of mine if I ever see those scuzzpucks again!.\"\n\nThe arctic vulpine huffed and ran a hand through her hair.\n\n\"Stiff me for 6,000 solaris and try to drain me and my friends dry for their damn augmentation running scheme will they?\"\n\n* You just can't trust anybody these days.- Hacker mused. - Though if it'll make you feel any better, we did just make 80,000 solaris from the capture of those two. And seeing as how you did inadvertently keep them in the designated spot and thus ensure our side of the operation went smoothly and as planned...-\n\nKaitlynn looked down in surprise at her boss before snatching him up and kissing him on the head. \"Is it any wonder I stay with this guy?\"\n\n\"Indeed.\" Limly mused before turning to the clones. \"So what happens to to you all now?\"\n\n\"We must go back to Pelthon as soon as possible and aid it inhabitants in maintaining the population levels of the planet.\" L2 explained.\n\nAt that Limly looked rather crestfallen.\n\n\"Oh, too bad. If nothing else I actually had a great time tonight getting to know myself better.\" She smiled \"Literally and figuratively speaking of course.\"\n\nHacker contemplated the group in front of him.\n\n* Well, I don't know about that. Limly. The night is still fairly young,-\n\nHe narrowed his eyes almost as if trying to look sly. - And the pelthonians won't have another transport back to their home world ready until tomorrow.-\n\nLimly's eyes lit up in realisation. \"Wow, really?\"\n\nThe little mek nodded. - I should probably take them back to base for their own safety though. Care to come with us? Meet the rest of Kaity's new family perhaps?-\n\nThe response he got was another big bear hug and another kiss on his silver head.\n\n\"I'd love to, Hacker.\" Limly said excitedly. \"Any chance to have another session with these two!\"\n\nShe stood and embraced her genetic twins.\n\n\"We would most certainly welcome the extra experience.\" L1 answered\n\n\"And I'm sure Dralion will welcome any opportunity to take me off his hands for another night.\" Kaitlynn snickered as No. 9 knelt down and opened up so the clones could be loaded into it.\n\n* \\Well, seems tonight turned out to be worth the wait.\\- Hack thought to himself as he climbed back into his own M.C.A.T.\n\n* Right then No. 1, let's have a nice big T-D gate so we can get the action started shall we?-\n\n* Coming right up! - The robotic feline said as it revved up its generators. -Though I still say that looked like a snake. -\n\nHacker suddenly snapped out of his good mood as he looked down at the interface controls in front of him.\n\n* No...it...didn't! - He said in aggravation as all four M.C.A.T.S leapt through the portal and vanished from the premises.\n\n---\n\nI can't conceive the words to sing a song about you there's never enough to go around\n\ncan't give ample of myself to get ecstatic she always needs some more of me so she has cloned me - clone me\n\nI will never be all alone it does no good to be out on your own now i am two faced and remote\n\nyou enjoy the presence of another man resembling me as the best he can I'm not the same as i used to be\n\nafter she cloned me after she cloned me after she cloned me after she cloned me\n\npush a button inside of me see what comes out so baby yeah it all comes out so naturally and if you don't like all that you see you should live in sodomy - in sodomy - in sodomy\n\nafter she cloned me\n\nFlipp - Clone Me\n\n---\n\nFINIS\n\n---" } ]

I am Alin Raven, son of Tarin Raven, the great high mage of Arca and Alhilia Raven. Growing up for me was normal, I'd go out to play in the woods, I'd come home dirty and I'd get a lecture about how I should keep my fur clean. After a few years, my mother began to teach me how to use the pan pipes, a simplistic yet beautiful instrument. She taught me just the basics of Bardic Music, like aiding in plant growth and making smaller, less intelligent creatures dance for me. I grew fond of those pipes and after learning them I'd go out to the woods and simply play. As I played it seemed the nature around me danced in wonderment and excitement to my tunes! I continued hoping that it'd never end, but unfortunately, it wouldn't last long.\n\nI remember the night the incident happened. My mother was tucking me into bed and suddenly, there was a bang at the door and voices all around the downstairs. My mother would tell me to stay in bed whilst she saw what had happened. She flung the door open and I would never believe my eyes. A Dark figure stood over the bloodied body of my father.\n\nI Couldn't see the man infront of him, all I heard was my father yelling to my mother, \"Take Alin.... Take Alin and run!\" as he levitated one if his rings to my mother's gentle paws.\n\nI still remember his last words... \"Alin... Must survive..\" and with that, the figure burried his sword into my father's heart, silencing him forever. My mother acting quickly, closed the door and locked it, then barracading it with my dresser. She then chanted something in a low sort of hum that I couldn't understand as she placed the ring on my finger, as it shrank to fit my size. Just as she finished the door started to give in to whatever was wanting enterence.\n\nWith that, my mother took a small bag, the very bag she carried her pan pipes, saying, \"Follow the path that leads down to the river in which I showed you how to make the Rats Dance, I will meet you there later... now Run Alin... Run as fast as your little legs can carry you!\" I jumped onto the roof of the porch and then gently jumped down from there without a scratch. From there I ran into the woods like instructed until I heard a loud BANG just behind me. I stopped to find that my mother had been thrown through the door with such force, it slammed against the outter wall of the house. As she lay upon the ground lifeless, I noticed one thing amiss about her, a Dagger that was stuck in her breast, burried in her heart. In fear I ran farther, I saw her dead body, but I refused to believe it, I knew she would keep her promise...\n\nFor three days I waited for her. Three long and grueling days. That was when I came to realization that she wasn't coming, I was left all alone. I tried to take the ring off and cast it into the river, cursing it for reminding me of my parents, but it would not budge. I had no other choice but to open the bag, with tears filling my eyes I looked what was inside. Not only were my mother's pan pipes inside, but a small piece of bread. Having not eaten in three days, I found myself peckish and ate the bread hastily, as a starving child would. I washed the bread down with water from the river, and found myself having no choice but to play. I wet my lips gently and began to play what I felt in my heart. Alone, scared, forgotten, I was merely a boy on his own in a world that's unforgiving and unrelenting. As I played, nature around me seemed to felt my sorrow, the trees began to droop in sadness, the wolf would howl at the feeling of abandonment. After I finished playing, there was a strange clapping coming from behind me. There stood a young half man-half goat thing I've never seen before.\n\n\"Do not be afraid my child\" it said to me gently. \"I heard your tune from afar and I came to admire it, as I feel your pain...\" he would say.\n\n\"Who... who are you?\" I would ask hesitantly.\n\n\"Oh a thousand pardons\" he said, \"I am Pan and I am here to help my boy. For your music has touched my heart and my soul, as well as the heart and soul of this forest.\" and with that, he placed a photograph within my bag, but I couldn't see what he put into it.\n\nI trained with Pan for 15 years of life, learning to play music, learning to defend myself, he even taught me how to harness bits of power from the ring my mother gave me. Upon the day I turned 20 I finally finished my training. Pan told me this and kissed my forhead, which turned my head fur into a wonderous shade of red, that wasn't there before. I then found myself in a familiar town, but unfortunately, I had no outer wearings, so I had to hide away into the alleyway and find some clothing. After finding some old pants no one wore with a huge hole in them, which I quickly patched up by using some of my magic to summon the necissary materials.\n\nFrom there, I wondered the streets, hearing of the latest of the king's decrees, against something called \"Tail Raising.\" I at the time had no idea what it had meant, but I was curious. I had also heard of a refuge from such things known as the \"Tail Underground\" I found myself at it's front doorstep and made my way in. I made my way to the bar and asked for the owner of it.\n\n\"What would you have of the owner?\" the tender asked.\n\n\"I wish to find a job, I need a place to stay and food to eat after all.\"\n\nWith that, we made a bet, I bet the tender that I would make the entire tavern literally throw money at the tender for a drink. He accepted and showed me where the stage was. I looked and found only one single patron within the bar. I though I was done for, but I began playing anyhow. I used the magic from the ring to aid in my playing and sure enough, the Camel would stand up and pay out his tab, but also left some extra as a tip. It was at that point that he revealed himself to me as Ian Soulfox and as the owner of the Tail Underground. He set me up within the dressing room with a place to stay and would feed me as long as I performed for everyone in the tavern.\n\nThe young bear smiled as the focus finally shifted off of him, \"and that's how it's been for seven years since... I've lived here with Ian and now... I've met you Hiei.\"\n\nThe young rabbit, dressed in his Kimono, blushed as they sat at the piano and ran his paws gently over the Keys, \"My, that is a long and interesting story Alin...\" he said.\n\nAlin Nodded softly, \"Indeed... I've a long life ahead of me too.\"\n\nHiei then looked over to the bear and blinked, \"But there's one thing I wanna know... That picture... what was it of?\"\n\nThe bear scratched his chin and looked back to Hiei, \"You mean the one Pan gave me?\" he asked. The young rabbit smiled and nodded with glee, hoping to learn what was on it. \"Alright...\" he said gently and went for his pouch, \"I'll show you.\" He pulled out the photograph as Hiei looked at it. It was a picture of Alin and his family in a happier day when they were still alive.\n\nHiei blinked a bit, \"Are those... your parents?\" he asked.\n\nAlin nodded softly and replaced the picture, \"And to this day... I've still no idea how he got his hands on it either...\" The two of them then sat there, in a quiet silence, just enjoying each other's company, but there was still one more story yet to be told..." } ]

It could have been something more had I had time to really work on it, but there's more important porn to be written at the moment.\n\nEnjoy if you can!\n\n\\\\\\\n\n5/17\n\nIt's dark and quiet up here in the attic, and that's where I stay. It's the only place left where I can be alone, though I know it's not where God wants me to be. Soon enough, that will change.\n\nHow late it is, though, I'm not sure. The moon gave up its vigil an hour or so ago, sinking behind the houses across my exurban street. Just starlight remains, shining its weak bluish self in through the one small window in the attic. Enough so I can see what not to run into or trip over. Enough so I can see the barrel of the Ruger LC9 clutched in my left paw. Safety on, of course. In my right paw is my Bible, though over the past few weeks I've opened it less and less. Since God gave me Sight, I've needed its reassuring words only sparingly.\n\nToday is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Today is the last. The rock will not hide them, the dead tree gives no shelter. Star Wormwood has blazed, and all the unbelievers will fall. And I will help. God has called me with the Sight, after all.\n\nI let out a little bark of laughter, as much of a bark as a weasel can muster. I mustn't wake the others; they need to go in their sleep. Especially Jared. He can't know it was me, though he might find out once he gets to heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father.\n\nYou need to move, my son. Go out, and serve the Lord your God.\n\n\"Alright then,\" I murmur into the near-darkness. \"Your will be done.\"\n\nI make my way back down to my bedroom, skipping the stairs I know will creak under my weight, the Bible cradled under my arm so I can use the banister. The trappings of childhood still adorn the walls and shelves: posters of bands long forgotten, stuffed animals won at fairs or received at Christmas, drawers of knickknacks and useless detritus that do nothing more than bring back memories of a time without Sight. A blind, dumb time, ignorant of the true nature of people and hopeful of a bright future. If I had known the day of reckoning was to come so soon, I might have made better use of my time. Today, I can make up for that.\n\nI fill my pockets with the usual--keys, wallet, cell phone--and shoulder my holster before putting on my jacket. Even this late in spring, it's still refreshingly cool, and I don't want to be uncomfortable while carrying out God's business. It's a small part, but one I will gladly play. Anything I can do to help him along on this last day. I turn off the desk lamp as I leave my bedroom for the last time. I can't take any of it with me, and the Sight is all I need anyway. It will carry me through.\n\nThe Bible stays on the banister at the top of the stairs while I enter my parents' bedroom. My father lies flat on his back, muzzle pointed toward the ceiling and snoring softly. My mother is turned away from him on her side, the sheet pulled back exposing part of her shoulder and the silk nightie she wears to bed.\n\nI have seen how she wants me...the Sight has exposed her desire, though she hides it well. Dad no longer pleases her, because he is satisfied by the Asian women on the Internet and his trysts on Craigslist. He is doubtlessly carrying a disease, and Mom knows this. Yet I can give them credit for keeping the marriage together for Jared's sake. They hide their indiscretions so well! It's hard to believe they can sleep soundly, having the desires they do. What strong consciences.\n\nI pad across the room and stand over my father. A sinner in pride; haughty he is, even in sleep. His chest rises and falls gently with his breath. I reach down between his legs and feel the turgid flesh there. Yes, dreaming of some Japanese Geisha whore or a Vietnamese brothel, back when he was in the service. You never thought it would catch up with you, did you?\n\nMy own flesh reacts, feeling my father's arousal in my fingers. I don't mind anymore; there is no question where I'm headed, and I've accepted the fact. Dad doesn't even stir, and that's good. Before I can ponder the question of pulling the sheet back and satisfying the curiosity I've had since childhood, God lifts my right arm and pulls my index finger back.\n\nThe sound is instant and deafening in this placid room. The gun flashes and recoils, sending a needle of pain up my arm to my shoulder, and I know that if I am to get through this day I will have to prepare for that. The scents of ozone and burning gunpowder hit my nose, followed by blood.\n\nDad has sprouted a hole in his left cheek. At least, I think it's a hole, because it's gushing blood down the side of his face and into the bedclothes. His muzzle has opened slightly, but no breath escapes. He's free. That was easy. God told me it would be. The me of a few weeks ago might have cried. I'm happy for him, down in hell already so he doesn't have to suffer up on this mortal plane.\n\nSomehow, Mom hasn't woken up. I suppose it's something like any loud noise while you're asleep: some people will come awake instantly while it's too quick for others to notice. But Mom stirs, mumbling, reaching for her husband. She lays her arm over Dad's still chest while I cross to her side of the bed. She can't know. She can't suffer. I put the gun to the side of her head, but she turns again, forcing the gun down.\n\n\"H-honey?\" she mumbles through sleep, rubbing her eyes. My erection is renewed. I take her arm and twist it around, pressing her paw to my fly. It throbs against her fingers, and I wonder what she would have done if I'd let her give into her fantasy. \"What are you doing?\" She says it slowly, drunkenly. Even with her dead husband next to her, she can still play dumb.\n\n\"I can't play with you, Mom,\" I say, watching her eyes widen. \"It wouldn't make any difference. Dad's waiting for you.\"\n\n\"Wha-?\" She doesn't have time to focus on the Ruger as I press it to her right eye and fire. The paw on my crotch grips me tight for a split second, and it is marvelous. Her head cocks backward, the impact flinging her back onto the pillows. A grotesque rose of blood, bone and brain appears on the wall behind her, dripping slowly down behind the headboard. Her remaining eye stares at the ceiling. She is free.\n\nI drop her arm and undo my pants, taking my cock into my paw. It is wholly inappropriate to have to operate with such a distraction, so I take a minute to deal with it. After the release, my mind is clear and I take the gun back from the bed after wiping my seed onto the bed. It's Jared's turn.\n\nMiraculously, he's slept through the whole scene, but it's not surprising because his room is at the end of the hall, a good distance from the master bedroom. He sleeps amid his own childhood trappings, different from my own but still just as valuable. There are also hand-me-downs from my room: the Angry Beavers pajamas he's wearing, for instance. If he only knew how many times I soiled them with my nocturnal emissions, I wonder what he would think. Perhaps he's doing the same. There's no helping it, I suppose. It won't matter soon, anyway.\n\nI look down at him. He's a silent sleeper; not even his whiskers twitch. I try hard to See him, but nothing comes, and I'm grateful. So far, he's been the only one I haven't been able to See. He's destined for great things after today, but not on this earth. I am honored to send him on his way. God can come for the rest, but I want Jared to be the first.\n\nBending down to kiss his forehead, I smell the sweet smell of boyhood sweat. I forgot what that smelled like. Innocence and Irish Spring. He shakes his head slowly, licks his lips, and is still.\n\n\"Go with God, little brother.\" I aim the pistol.\n\n\"Hmm, love you, Jared,\" he says. He knows. That same flash-bang, but this time I close my eyes. I want to remember him as he was before his ascension. I wait until I can smell blood, then pull down the covers to expose his wrist. I hear the soft sound of flowing liquid, and presently the scent of urine joins the blood; his bladder has let go.* Accidents don't matter to God, I think. It's not even you pissing anymore. The lack of a pulse confirms that his soul has been released, and I am filled with a feeling of such power that it almost makes me cry.\n\nBut not now. There is much work to do. Four bullets left in this clip, and more in the car.\n\nThe sky is just beginning to lighten in the east as I close the front door to my house for the last time. Pressing the button to unlock my car, I wonder how long it will take for someone to realize anything is amiss. It's a Saturday. No work, no school. There might be phone calls, but no one will notice until Monday, by which time everyone on earth will be in the same boat. But not my family, and especially not Jared. He will be with the Lord, and the rest will be left to toil aimlessly for five months until the destruction is complete. I doubt I will make it that far.\n\nI pop the trunk and reach inside, feeling around for the zipper I can't see because the little light bulb is broken. My claws scrape along the nylon of my duffel until I hear jingling, and from there it's an easy task to unzip the bag and view its righteous contents: a sniper rifle with a silencer and magazine after magazine filled with .308 rounds and others with 9mm slugs for my pistol. I don't know what kind of rifle it is; the man out of whose trunk I bought it only said it was a deal and not to care. All the information has been filed off. I just care if it fires.\n\nThe duffel goes in the back seat, but I take three 9mm magazines and set them on the passenger seat next to me. That's twenty-one people, plus four in my gun, before I have to reach back. I turn the car on and silence the radio before fastening the seat belt, Safety First. Then I pull out into the night.\n\nI realize I've forgotten the Bible in the house, but I can't go back there now. If I go back, I might start thinking about things. \"You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.\" Revelation 2:3. I know Revelation well.\n\nStreetlights paint yellow stripes across my lap. I keep under the limit and under control. Anyone out driving at this time sticks out like a sore thumb, and I want the police to concentrate on the drunks and the bums and the whores instead of me, the Sighted, on my mission. I put my signal on and turn onto the freeway ramp, gaining speed.\n\nNow that the trees have given way to open sky, I can see the first bits of morning creeping up past the horizon. Only now do I look at the clock in the car; it's 5:15am. The world is beginning to wake up for its last day of normal, sinful life.\n\nI didn't ask for the Sight. Those given gifts from God rarely ask for them. Last year, in college, he began to change things in my head. It started as migraines, such a common terrestrial sign of trouble. I was worried, for a while, but Tylenol went a long way. So did Percocet, but once I started depending on the pills I had to throw them away. My head wasn't clear. That was right before my own personal revelation.\n\nI was playing Halo 2 instead of doing homework. And then I noticed a black spot in the corner of my vision, growing fast. I had no time to pause the game before my jaw clenched shut and the right side of my body went numb, then jerked. Sometime during the seizure I fell on the floor, biting my tongue. I know that much because I woke up that way, my muzzle filled with the taste of blood. But I had been shown Everything, and suddenly none of it mattered.\n\nThere were so many colors, too many to even imagine, some of them not of this world. They were God's colors, meant for only him (and me) to see. He told me I was to receive a gift of Sight, and that I would know what to do with it. And, for one split second, I knew the sin of every human who had ever existed. My soul felt like it was on fire, being torn apart by the sorrow and suffering of so many billions of beings...and then it was gone.\n\nThe next day, I bought the pistol. I arranged for the purchase of the rifle soon after. I knew what God's plan was for me.\n\nA horn jerks me back from my reverie. I turn the wheel, but not fast enough to avoid clipping the bumper of the little Miata I seem to have run up on. It swerves, but I pay it no mind until I remember that he could get my plates if I try to speed away. He might already have them. I slow down, and he slows with me, and we both pull onto the empty shoulder of the freeway.\n\nHis door opens before the Miata comes to a stop. He lifts himself out of the seat, and I am filled with a dread I haven't yet felt. I See him. I See his newsboy cap and silk vest and crisply pressed pants and then I see the sodomy he committed just an hour or so ago. This fox, this gay faggot fox, his tail pressed against his back while a fat otter fills him up with seed. Seed, meant for a woman, that will die in his sinful body instead of replenishing God's earth with children.\n\n\"Are you crazy?\" the faggot fox yells at me. His lisp is poisonous.\n\n\"Crazy like a fox,\" I reply through my window. My soul is screaming; I want away. But my paw searches the passenger seat and finds the cool metal of the Ruger. The power flows through my arm and quiets the storm in my head.\n\n\"What? Shut the fuck up and come see what you did to my car.\"\n\n\"No.\"\n\n\"No?\"\n\nI look up at him, my expression still. I can almost feel an otter cock, slimy with fluid, worming its way under my tail. My erection is back, Satan's power radiating from this fox so much, it's a wonder he doesn't have horns.\n\n\"Do you believe in God?\" I pull the gun into the light as I ask the question, and the fox's eyes go wide. He starts to back away.\n\n\"Fine, fine, I'm going...\" His voice is high, like a woman's like a faggot's, and I can't stand it. He reaches for the handle of his door, but he's already been chosen. He'd be gone by the end of the day anyway. I'm giving him a head start.\n\nIt's easier for me to get out of my Probe than for him to squeeze his slinky form back into his roadster, and I'm pointing the barrel in through the window before he can get his paw on the gearshift. He starts to say something, probably \"No,\" but his face disappears in the flashes. Four bullets and one empty clip later, there is no face left. Part of his upper muzzle is still attached, but the rest sits in the passenger seat beside him. One ear sits in his lap, overrun by a torrent of blood; his left eye just kind of flew somewhere. He slides slowly to one side, stopped by the armrest.\n\nI let the empty clip slide down and onto the shoulder, its hard clank\n\nAbort. This story is going NOWHERE. Have a fragment, people!" } ]

She lay upon the bed, the blankets still strewn around her. Atop the four-poster, nestled in masses of red and black satin sheets lay a slender, scaly form. The female stretched again, sunlight shimmering upon the smooth, dark grey scales. Upon the expanse of dark grey, stretched a batch of thick, jet black stripes. The only splash of real color was a blaze of red upon either side of her muzzle. In fact, those two red patches were the only things she shared with a regular velociraptors coloring.\n\nFinally, she sat, running her claws through the masses of onyx tresses cascading down her back. Opening her eyes, she winced at the sunlight. She wasn't a day person. Not at all. Turning her head to the side, she shielded her yellow gaze from the gaze of the sun before sliding to the edge of the bed. Once her feet were upon the ground, she rose, her long, muscular tail swaying behind her as she stretched one last time, the killing claw on her right foot twitching a bit.\n\nSauntering into the bathroom, she completed her morning ritual: Use the bathroom, take a long, hot shower, then brush and floss her mouth full of sharp, pearly whites. Sliding into a short white bathrobe, she made her way to the kitchen, and her coffee which was already brewing. Gods bless appliances with timers!\n\nAs she reached for the fridge to fetch the creamer, she saw a note upon the door and a grin instantly formed. Removing it from beneath the magnet, she read:\n\nDanielle, my love, I've been called in to work and they tell me that it'll be a long day. Double shift. Don't wait up for me, and don't bother making anything for dinner. I'll catch something on the way home. I love you.\n\n\\-Jeff\n\nSighing lightly, she tacked the note to the fridge once more and retrieved the creamer. Later, seated on the sofa with her coffee, she settled back against the plush pillows and turned on the television, flicking through loads of channels before eventually giving up. It was her day off. She couldn't just sit here and do nothing.\n\nDraining her mug of coffee, she made her way back to the bedroom where she slid into a pair of curve hugging jeans (who needed panties?) and a frame forming black t-shirt. Drying her hair, she left it down, those soft ringlets falling down her back and over her shoulders. Snatching up her bag, she hopped into her car, making her way to a nearby park.\n\nOk, so she wasn't going to get anything big accomplished today... but at least it was better than sitting at home by herself, right? Taking a blanket out of the trunk, she made her way out onto one of the many hills nestled into the horse shoe opening of the forest around her. Spreading the blanket upon the sun warmed grass; she sprawled upon it on her stomach, opening her book.\n\nAfter reading for a time, the words began to blur and she was forced to re-read entire pages. Grumbling, she closed the book, using one finger as a bookmark. Crossing her arms, she placed her cheek upon the top one before closing her eyes. She would just nap for a few moments, rest her eyes, and then be on her way. Or so she thought.\n\nWhat seemed like moments later, she woke, yellow eyes wide open. The sky was dark and flecked with stars. Groaning, she stretched, digging her claws into the blanket and effectively losing her page which caused her to huff upon noticing it. A shadow blocked out the light of the moon and her top lip instantly curled, a growl threatening to pour free. \"I figured you'd be here.\" The moment the voice met her ears she lowered her lip and then curled her neck around to look over her shoulder. He stood behind her with his hands in the pockets of his semi tight girl jeans (which she loved, by the way). Rolling onto her back, she looked up at him, her tail tip lashing back and forth. Jeff continued to stand in her moonlight, staring down at her.\n\n\"Sorry, love. You must be hungry. Let's go do dinner.\" She made to rise and he motioned her to stay still. \"I am hungry.\" Slowly he knelt before her, crawling forward until he was between her legs. Their lips met and Danielle growled low in her throat. One hand moved up and rested on the back of his head as their tongues danced, flitting from one mouth to the other.\n\nJeff broke the kiss and turned his head a bit, his cheek sliding against hers. \"Jeff...\" She purred into his ear. 'Please...\" His hands instantly moved to her pants and he unbuttoned them, sliding the zipper down. Danielle raised her rump so that he could slide her jeans down her hips. Since she'd decided to forego the wearing of panties he had easy access so he slid one clawed fingertip inside of her, causing her to gasp. Pumping it within her hot confines a few times, he retracted the finger then brought it to his lips where he licked it clean.\n\nDanielle watched him all the while, her eyes opened to paper thin slits. When he leaned down to kiss her, she met him halfway, instantly tasting her sweet juices on his lips. Again he was the one to break the kiss. Down between her legs he went, pulling her jeans off and tossing them aside. This wasn't one of her favorite things, but he enjoyed it, so she would allow it. From where she was, she could see him lick his lips before lowering his muzzle.\n\nThe instant his tongue drifted over her flesh, she sighed. Spreading her legs wider, she prepared herself for what was to come. His hands gripped her hips and held her in place, his tongue still just running teasingly along the crease between her mound and thigh. Gradually, he swung his tongue inward, sending it over one smooth lip, then the next. Not once did he touch anything deeper than her nether lips.\n\nAlready her yellow eyes were shut and she writhed every now and again. She wasn't a fan of this treatment, but that didn't mean that it didn't affect her. He was quite good at it. A soft breeze had begun to blow, sending her ebony tresses to one side. The breeze also cooled her flesh and she shuddered. Jeff looked at her through the tops of his eyes and smiled.\n\nWithout warning, he thrust his long, lizard-like tongue into her body, his hands still holding her hips in place. She called out and arched her back a bit, eyes closed; brow furrowed. To him, she tasted of sweet, wild things like a piece of fruit plucked from some foreign field. Never would he get enough of this taste. She was a crisp, ripe apple...and her juices were all his. He drank of her for a time, then retracted his tongue and gently flicked the tip of it over Danielle's sensitive clit. She clenched her teeth and fought a moan, but failed.\n\nGradually, he began to move faster, flicking that strong, pink muscle over her soft nub of flesh. Though he held her hips, she fought his hold, her body wanting to ride his tongue as she was pulled to the edge of release. Jeff could tell that she was almost ready. He could tell simply from the heat rising from her body. Again he slid his tongue within her body, and then pulled out and up, flicking his tongue against the underside of her clit.\n\nAfter doing this just a few times, Danielle's body was wracked with shudders and she found release. Her juices flowed and Jeff lapped them up greedily. Danielle opened her eyes after a few long moments and tried to steady her breathing. Her eyes found his and she couldn't help but laugh at the satisfied smirk on his face. She beckoned him up to her with a finger and, when he moved up, she claimed his lips, tasting herself on his tongue once more.\n\nAfter a few minutes of such kisses, Danielle pulled back. Running one hand over his cheek, she smiled, then spoke breathily. \"Sating your hunger has left me with a want to fill my stomach, Love.\" Jeff laughed softly and pulled his striped, rust colored body off of hers. Once out from beneath him, she pulled her shirt over her head and tossed it upon her crumpled jeans before helping him remove his clothing. Naked at last, Jeff piled their clothes behind his head so that he could watch his lady at work.\n\nSettling herself between his legs, Danielle smiled up at him and nipped the inside of his left thigh. Being a velociraptor, she was blessed with a mouth full of razor sharp teeth. If done wrong, she could remove slices of his flesh before he even knew it. Lucky for him, she was an expert.\n\nLowering herself between his thighs, her tongue snaked from her mouth and curled around the protruding tip of him. The length of him was still sheathed, but not for long. Already, inch by inch of his cock was sliding out to greet her. Growling softly, she took the head of his shaft into her mouth while her tongue wrapped around his length. Jeff groaned, one hand moving down to wrap its fingers in her hair. He obviously wanted more, but he wouldn't get it just yet. She toyed with him, merely sucking upon the tip of him, but never doing any more than that. Danielle watched him through the tops of her yellow eyes, cracking a smile when he opened his eyes to stare back at her.\n\n\"I love you.\" He whispered. He would be rewarded for his words. Taking a breath, she used her tongue to pull him into her maw, the length of muscle curling around him. Jeff gasped and clenched his eyes before hissing long and low. His hisses heated her insides and he knew it. Growling softly, she began to slowly move her head back and forth, sliding him in and out of her mouth.\n\nWhen he slid out of her hot maw, his wet cock met the gentle breeze and cooled him, causing him breath to come in ragged gasps. Danielle noted the change in breathing and repositioned herself so that she was held over him, her ebony tresses shielding his wet shaft from the wind. This new position also allowed her to open her throat up for him. As she moved faster over him, she took his head down her throat, her lips touching his abdomen.\n\nJeff moaned aloud and started panting as he neared his orgasm. Within her mouth, his shaft had become very hard, warning her of his nearing release. One hand moved up to grasp his balls which were rolled about and scratched lightly.\n\nJeff felt his balls draw up and called out his lady's name as he sent rivers of hot raptor cum jetting down Danielle's throat. Not one drop was wasted and she drew upon him like a straw until he was completely finished.\n\nGasping for air, Jeff dropped his head back, trying to settle himself. From between his legs, a soft chortle sounded as his lover gloated over her skills. Crawling up his side, she lay down beside him, arms behind her head, tail wrapped around his. Purring softly, she looked over at him out of the corner of one eye. \"Now that dinner is over with...\" \"Dessert,\" he hissed, his tail curling tighter about hers.\n\nThey'd hardly noticed, but the moon was now hidden by a mass of clouds. A bolt of lightning and a crash of thunder brought them to their senses. Danielle huffed and rolled to her knees to collect their clothing. They were going to get rained on. Just as she reached for her shirt, she was grabbed by a pair of strong hands and held in place. She could feel the tip of Jeffs cock pressed against her opening and barely had time to prepare herself before he drew back and slammed against her, sheathing a portion of his shaft within her. Clenching her teeth, Danielle dug her claws into the ground, holding on for the barrage of thrusts that she knew would come.\n\nBehind her, Jeff hissed as he pumped himself inch by inch into her tight insides. Drawing back a pussy-slicked shaft, he pressed forward, sliding ever deeper until her body consumed his. The sheer heat of her insides caused him to moan aloud.\n\nDanielle had dropped her head forward, a moan sliding free every now and again. He filled her to perfection. So much so, that she had tears in her eyes; or was that the rain that had begun to fall? The drops of liquid fell from the sky, landing upon her bare, striped back. Then, all at once, she felt no rain upon her back, just a warm expanse of flesh. Jeff had rested his front across her back, shielding her from the increasing downpour.\n\nHe continued his thrusts within her, slower, then faster, then slower again. His long, deep thrusts forced Danielle to either bite her bottom lip or moan aloud. His quick, shallow jabs pulled hisses and whines from her. The varied paces kept her body guessing and he knew it. He also knew that it drove her mad.\n\nDanielle had begun pushing back against him and pulling him forward by tightening her inner hand around his cock. Jeff moaned against the back of her neck, which he placed a bite upon, and then drew his body away. Now the fun would begin. Gripping her hips once more, he pulled all the way out of her body, leaving her empty.\n\nThe rain beat down upon them both. It was a stinging rain. Still lightning struck and thunder crashed. The trees around them whipped back and forth in the storm. Every intelligent creature was inside. Everyone... but the lust filled raptors.\n\nJeff let Danielle become accustomed to not having him within her. He let her body adjust. Just when she was about to ask him about the hold up, he plunged himself completely within her time and again. She screamed but he wouldn't hear it due to the thunder. He would only feel her body tense beneath him and see her fling her head back, sending her jet black hair flying over her stripes.\n\nAgain and again he nestled himself inside of her with those long, sure strokes, his energy waning. He was drawing near his peak, his thrusts becoming erratic. She too, was near. Her inner muscles began to pulse over him and her entire body began to prickle.\n\nTaking note of a shudder tearing through her, Jeff dug his claws into her hips and took one hard stroke to his left. That was all it took. Danielle locked her muscles around him and he let fly, spurting what seemed like a gallon of cum within her, filling her to the brim.\n\nThe heat of his cum was Danielles breaking point. The sensation of her throbbing hip wounds and the liquid magma within her caused her body to buck beneath his. She screamed out his name along with the thunder, her voice cracking near the end. Her body convulsed and she dropped her front half to the ground, burying her muzzle in her crossed arms.\n\nJeff dropped forward as well, one arm around her waist, the other hand upon the ground. Together they stayed like that until the stars in their eyes vanished. Jeff pulled himself from her after a time and brought Danielle to her feet with him. They were both a bit shaky, so they held onto one another as they picked up their things.\n\nThere was no way that they'd be able to slip into their soaked jeans, so they covered themselves with the soaked blanket and made it back to the car in the downpour. Once inside, they tossed their clothes and the blanket into the back along with Danielles poor, ruined book.\n\nThey just sat there in silence for a few minutes, reliving their sexual encounter. Then Danielle smiled. The smile grew to a giggle and the giggle grew to an all out laugh. Jeff smiled and looked at her questioningly. His lady just shook her head and leaned over, kissing him fully and soundly before drawing back, eyes never leaving his face. \"I love you more than words could ever describe.\" She spoke softly. Jeff smiled and cupped her cheek in one palm. \"You are everything to me, my love.\" Turning her face, she kissed his palm. \"Let's go home.\"\n\nAnd so they did, but not to sleep. Rays of sun show through the window. Only then did they sleep, nestled happily in each others loving arms." } ]

The original, PG-13 expurgated version is still available there, in case pornography makes your eyes melt or something\n\nBy and large, I hate airports. They're always loud and crowded, the security people always manage to select me for their random pat-downs, the food is always atrocious--and the price of a newspaper is enough to make a man weep. And yet here I was. I don't choose to travel by plane, but I'd been lead to believe I didn't have a whole lot of choice--it's hard to take a train across the ocean.\n\nIt was raining in Storelvsby when I boarded the plane for Assuli. I had with me only what I could throw together in the six hours I'd been given--a suitcase full of clothes and my journals, a notebook, a toothbrush. I had no idea what I was heading into.\n\n\\\n\nFourth-period history (\"Civilisations of the East Tropics\") had been a bear. The short essay I had assigned not twenty-four hours before had apparently slipped my students minds, and this made them upset. I'd run myself out of chalk, which made me upset, and to top it off I remembered as I began my lecture that I had an administrative meeting that afternoon. I hate administrative meetings, too. Compounding everything was that it was July, and while I hold that school should never be held in the summer, we were \"experimenting\" with a new concept. A pilot; doubtless they wanted to make sure that it would fail on a small scale before widening their scope to watch it fail on a large one.\n\nWhen the bell rang to end class the students folded their binders and began to gather their belongings, evidently unaware that I was still talking. I gave up. I could almost see the knowledge draining from their heads--quite disheartening. In my second year of teaching history I'd already lost almost all of the blind idealistic enthusiasm I had started with. That's life for you.\n\nI slipped my own papers into my briefcase and prepared to go to lunch. As soon as my hand touched the handle of the door I felt it turn beneath my fingers, and the door swung open. I stood face-to-face with an imposing man in a black suit with the seal of the Defence Division printed on his breast.\n\n\\\n\n\"Mr. Cameron?\"\n\nI nodded dumbly.\n\nThe suited figure was dark, with rugged features--an Alsatian, maybe. His face was covered with a deep brown fur that matched the colour of his eyes so well they seemed to disappear. One hand grasped a black leather briefcase; he motioned with the other towards my desk. \"You'll kindly sit down, will you not?\" He had an authoritative voice-- harsh and incontestable. Once more I nodded.\n\nMy desk has two chairs--one for me, and one for the student assistant who frequently helps me out. This chair I shoved towards the man and indicated that he might sit. He did. I still hadn't said anything.\n\n\"Mr. Cameron, my name is Joshua Rivers. I work for your country's government.\" Feeling still dumbstruck, although increasingly alarmed, I merely nodded a third time, and shook the hand he offered. \"Specifically I'm in charge of the surveys the Union Geological Service conducts,\" he continued. \"I've come seeking your help, sir.\"\n\nI looked at him curiously. \"Um,\" I managed to say. \"With what, exactly?\"\n\n\"You're Richard Cameron, aren't you?\" I nodded. \"You have some background in eastern archaeology, I understand.\"\n\nIt struck me that he was joking. I have a master's degree in archaeology, it's true, but there was a reason I was teaching Western Civ to ingrates at a public high school and I guarantee you it wasn't because of the fame I'd garnered in my little corner of academia. I laughed as genially as possible, under the circumstances. \"Who put you up to this, Mr. Rivers?\"\n\nHe frowned. \"I assure you I'm quite serious, sir.\" He reached down for the attaché case he had brought and pulled out a blue folder, also marked with Defence's seal. \"You might want to look at this.\"\n\nThe folder was labelled as being 'Top Secret.' Some fine print I scanned with growing unease informed me of frightening penalties for redistributing it, allowing it to fall into the hands of 'unauthorised personnel,' or--if I was myself unauthorised--even daring to crack the folder open. I looked up at him, and he gave me permission with a nod of his head.\n\nI opened the folder. On the right side was a brief site report. It looked incomplete and I guessed that it was either preliminary or being written by amateurs, maybe both. I riffled through the pages, caught mentions of hieroglyphs, plant remains, and 'bizarre artefacts,' whatever those were. The left side of the folder contained a letter, addressed to me. I noticed that the title of the letter-writer was 'General' and started to gain some appreciation of the magnitude of what was going on.\n\nThe letter was a cover for some more documents, in a small type I had to squint to read. \"That's your contract,\" the man with the deep voice told me. \"It outlines your pay, and the terms of your service.\"\n\nI set the folder on my desk. \"Look, Mr. Rivers. I'm flattered. But I'm not an archaeologist. I was* one, yeah, but I did a piss-poor job of it and I'm out of the profession, ok? I don't know what kind of use I can be to you.\"\n\n\"Mr. Cameron, sir, I don't know who you are. I don't know what you've done and haven't done. General McPherson specifically tapped you for this. He thinks you're valuable. I don't even know what your profession is, but the General does and that's good enough for me.\"\n\nI looked at my desk, marred only by this blue folder, this sudden intrusion into my life. I thought hard about what I was being shown. A chance to work on a real site--sure, run by the government, but you can't always afford to be elitist. Not three years before I would've leapt at the chance I was being offered. It was still a bit compelling...\n\nOn the other hand it meant reopening a chapter of my life I had closed quite deliberately. I wasn't sure I wanted to go back--really you have so few big choices in your life, it isn't easy to want to undo the biggest one. I read the cover letter. It gave no clue as to what the site was but, sure enough, the General said I was valuable. I tapped my finger against the table.\n\n\"When do you need me to leave by?\"\n\n\\\n\nThe plane ride over the Eastern Sea was torturous. We hit turbulence, near as I can tell, while we were still sitting at the gate; and where my quailing stomach and inner ears were concerned it didn't stop until long after we were safely on the ground again. The pilot cheerily informed us as the plane pushed back from the airport that the temperature in Storelvsby was a balmy sixty-three degrees, overcast and lightly drizzling, with a chance for thunderstorms. The city needn't have worried; those storms gave up quickly and decided to follow my flight instead.\n\nIn comparison the weather at Midbar Ramady was a balmy eighty-eight degrees (understandable; it was only ten in the morning), and the clouds had left on vacation. The sky was that horrid shade of blue that looks so beautiful in the postcards, although when people start being able to get heatstroke from postcards I'm sure it will fall out of favour. I worked at a little site near the ancient city of Babylon for a few summers and had concluded that I had no great desire to return to the area. And yet here I was, still vaguely airsick and not a bit disoriented.\n\nThe airport at Midbar Ramady was gorgeous in that style of Eastern architecture that also looks beautiful in postcards. The buildings were a dazzling white, and where they were not white they were gilded. There were fountains in the terminal where I had been sent to meet my party; the temperature was pleasant everywhere, and leafy potted plants clustered about the pools of water like refugees. The lovely strains of Die Fledermaus* played softly over speakers, underscoring the atmosphere with a hint of North-Western culture. Indeed overall the effect was of a subdued pretension: ethnic, yet cosmopolitan; refined, while still reassuringly garish--I could see the harsh glow of neon signs through the palm trees in the terminal.\n\nOf course, the city of Midbar Ramady is a tourist spot. Airports tend to be little oases where tourists can experience the 'culture' of their destinations without ever being too far from an interpreter and a soft drink. I know of some people who have travelled the world--these are their words, mind you--never leaving the safety of the airport without a tour guide.\n\nI don't know that I agree with this method; I figure regardless of these peoples' mileage they still aren't doing much they couldn't be experiencing at a public library or a movie theatre. Live a little, I say. Foreign cultures are generally interesting, when they don't want to eat you or take your head as a trophy, and I assure you the doctors will be able to treat what you pick up from the water--antibiotics really are marvellous things. Tour guides, then, I don't care for.\n\n\"Mr. Cameron!\" Somebody shouted my name as I took in the sights of the airport. \"Mr. Richard Cameron!\"\n\nThe shouter was a casually attired fellow; he wore shorts and a shirt with sleeves that only barely counted. I admit to being taken aback--I'd been expecting another Joshua Rivers type. The man spoke with a Union accent, but his manner of dress suggested to me that he wasn't a newcomer to the area either: only people who don't know better wear double-breasted black suits when they travel to the east. People who don't know better and businessmen, I suppose; in the interests of not offending people I won't make the obvious comment.\n\n\"That's me,\" I told him, and he shook my hand warmly.\n\n\"Carl Grahmann,\" he said to me. \"I'm your pilot today.\" He looked young--my age or maybe a few years less--and it was tough not to like him. Despite my apprehensions about flying, and about my location, my day was beginning to look up. I grinned.\n\n\"Glad to hear it.\"\n\n\\\n\nMy fur started sucking up heat the moment we stepped outside of the air-conditioned terminal. There's something about that pure, unfiltered light you find out in Assuli that makes you half-wonder if the sun has a personal vendetta against you. I felt uncomfortable--and I was dressed not much differently than Carl was.\n\nThe windows inside Midbar Ramady's airport were heavily tinted, as behoves windows in the eastern summer. Walking outside, on the tarmac of the airport, that shield was gone. Everything radiated heat; it came in waves off the ground, the buildings, the planes parked outside. There was only a light wind, and it blew hot--a phenomenon I must confess I find quite distasteful. The air I breathed tasted of the temperature, and left arid, sandy heat lingering on my tongue.\n\nI stopped for a moment to put on my sunglasses. Carl must've seen the look on my face, for he said, \"it's a bit warm, isn't it?\"\n\nI growled a few choice words under my breath. Carl clapped my back in the manner of a person who does not understand the mechanisms of deference our culture generally promotes. \"You ever been out here before?\"\n\nI nodded. \"I'm an archaeologist,\" I said--and God, I realised, those words hadn't left my mouth for nearly four years. An eternity when you're only twenty-seven. \"I worked out at Jarmo for awhile, and then at Babylon.\" He whistled appreciatively.\n\n\"Pretty cool,\" he said. After having given up on our nation's youth I was pleased to find someone telling me that. And one of the neat things about Eastern archaeology is that when somebody tells you that it's 'pretty cool,' you know they aren't talking about the weather.\n\nGrahmann's plane was a small, high-winged little thing--I'd had to get over my fear of them when I was travelling to remote sites and they weren't really anything new, although I still would not describe myself as a fan of them, noisy dangerous uncomfortable beasts that they are. It had two engines, which I appreciated; the most charismatic pilot I'd ever endured had told me that this was a good thing because, in her words, 'if you screw up and one falls off you aren't completely dead.'\n\nThe paint was peeling in a few places, but the airplane seemed relatively fit. As we walked around it and Carl ran through the checks on his pre-flight notepad I noticed that while the plane itself looked civilian, the tail was neatly stencilled, 'Union of Free States' and both of the doors had the seal of the Union Army. Grahmann saw me looking at the seal, and I asked him whether he was in the military.\n\n\"Nah,\" he told me. \"I'm just a contractor. The only guy they have out here. Pays good, though,\" he said, meditatively. \"All right. Looks like the fuel's topped off and we aren't missing too many pieces.\" With this reassurance, he then opened the door. \"Hop right in.\"\n\nI threw my only bag over the seat and clambered up into the cabin. It was painfully apparent that the plane had sat out in the morning sun for several hours--I won't say it was hot enough to fry an egg because it wasn't; it would've vaporised instead. But I resisted the urge to clamber back out* of the cabin--instead I shut the door, and took my seat.\n\nCarl didn't tell me what the weather was like at Midbar Ramady, nor what it was like at my destination. He didn't tell me what our cruising altitude was going to be or that I should make sure my seatbelt was fastened. That's one thing I sort of appreciate when I'm flying with bush pilots, they tend to be pragmatic.\n\nThere was a headset in front of me and I put it on as Carl flipped switches and turned dials on the instrument panel. The engines coughed, reluctantly fired a few times, then caught and began to hum reassuringly. Carl gave me a thumbs-up. He conversed briefly with the air traffic controllers, then the plane jerked forwards and began to taxi.\n\n\\\n\nI haven't felt thrilled by the feeling of inertia as an airplane takes off since I was much younger. Even so I admit to feeling my spirits lift along with the little plane as we rolled down the runway and then up, and off, into a sky becoming yet more offensively azure. Cool air began to blow from vents on the panel in front of me and I relished it. I relished the sights outside of my plexiglass cage too, honestly. It's been awhile since I was out in the East, but it's sort of captivating. I wished I had a camera. I don't quite love it like some archaeologists, but for all I've said it does have a warm place in my heart, and that's only half because of the lingering temperature.\n\nWe had been airborne for maybe half an hour when the plane shuddered in such a way that I knew in an instant it wasn't just turbulence. I looked about nervously. I had just completed my second brief check when I noticed thick blue smoke pouring from the engine nacelle on my side of the plane. I did a double-take, blinked, found that the smoke was still there.\n\n\"Carl!\" I shouted. \"Carl, the engine's on fire!\" He turned at me and cocked his head, a puzzled look on his face. My microphone was off. I flipped it on and shouted again. \"Carl!\" He winced. I toned my voice down a notch and told him, in still-excited tones, about the engine.\n\n\"Oh, yeah, that,\" he said. \"That's normal.\"\n\n\"That's normal?\" I refrained from swearing at him.\n\n\"Oh, yeah,\" he reassured me. \"Happens all the time.\" He didn't show much concern as he fiddled with something on the control panel. I glanced back at the engine, and saw that the smoke was thinning. \"See, nothing to worry about.\" Carl laughed, a noise that was mostly lost in the static of the headset and the roar of the engines.\n\nI decided then that I did indeed hate small planes.\n\nIn five minutes the engine had stopped smoking entirely and I could again see the scenery spread below us. You have to admit it's breathtaking, even when you're as jaded as I am. We were crossing a vast stretch of desert but from where we were I could see the little features etched into the earth below. Underground water and rivers that ran dry in the summer were framed in what passes for verdure in the Assuli Expanse. Still-flowing rivers were clusters of activity, little dots that moved around, came together, split apart. You couldn't tell what they were--probably people, but maybe wildlife. Boats left lazy wakes in the slow-moving current.\n\nEverything below was still filtered through the heavy heat of the desert midday. Trees and stretches of road wavered surreally. The sand seemed to glow a white heat. Sun glinted off the roofs of houses and the ripples of the water below. I was taking this all in when I caught a few more glints sparkling below.\n\nI dismissed it, but Carl didn't. The airplane dropped quickly; my stomach didn't. Over my headset I heard Carl talking to whoever was on the radio channel--I hadn't been paying proper attention, so I wasn't sure. I caught the words \"taking fire\" and something about artillery and forgot about the dizzying fall to concentrate on my own mortality.\n\nThe plane snapped out of its descent abruptly and at a significantly lower altitude. Carl looked at me, and for the first time betrayed an emotion that wasn't cheer.\n\n\"What the hell?\" I asked him before he could say anything.\n\n\"Oh... nothing.\" His voice crackled in my ears. I wish the damned headphones didn't make it so tough to read the feeling in a man's voice.\n\n\"Nothing?\" I asked, gesturing to the ground, which we were just barely skimming over. Details were much clearer now; individual cars easy to pick out on the road. Much, much too close for comfort.\n\n\"Well,\" Carl admitted. \"Sometimes people don't like us.\"\n\n\"Artillery?\"\n\nHe shrugged. \"Sometimes people with guns don't like us, too.\"\n\nI groaned inwardly. You see, of all the pleasurable things I've experienced in my life being shot at had not--up until that point--been one. \"How long until we land?\"\n\n\"A little bit soon,\" he said, and I realised I didn't want him to clarify any more.\n\n\\\n\n\"A little bit soon\" is a technical term that means, \"about forty minutes.\" I watched the time pass on my wristwatch and feared for my life through agonising every second of it. I don't know if we were shot at again, since Carl didn't tell me. But the aircraft suddenly pitched, floating up into the sky with an ease people who fly exclusively on commercial jets just don't understand and which almost mitigates my feelings towards light aviation. Carl scanned the land below him. \"Ah, there we go,\" he told me. \"That's our destination, right over there.\" He pointed to some dots and what I guessed was an improvised airstrip. I nodded gratefully.\n\nThe landing was much smoother than the flight had been. The little plane came to a stop at the end of the dirt field and swung its nose towards a cluster of tents. Carl killed the engines and as someone came out to the airplane he indicated that I should disembark. I did so quickly--I hadn't many belongings. As I opened the door I shook his hand, left in it a fifty-dollar note for a tip. He winked and gave me a salute; whereupon I swung myself out of the cabin and landed softly on the ground below.\n\nI could hear Carl talking with someone on the other side of the airplane; as for me I was lost. The scenery was unfamiliar. It wasn't featureless, as the uneducated sometimes describe deserts as being. It was full of features--I just didn't know any of them. Not that I could've expected to, from the ground. As I took it in, I heard the plane start again behind me. I turned, and watched it taxi briefly; then I heard the throttles open wide and it gained speed quickly, lifted off, and rapidly grew smaller. I followed it intently.\n\nWhen I could no longer see the airplane I returned my eyes to my surroundings and again began to take stock. I turned and found that I was not alone.\n\nStanding next to me was a man dressed in the desert fatigues of the Union Army, wearing a sand-coloured helmet. He was himself not spectacularly unique--a dusky sort of brown that could be any one of a dozen ethnicities; although intriguingly it seemed to discriminate itself into little blocks of colour like his uniform. Not nearly so varied, though.\n\n\"Richard Cameron, I'm Captain Mike Ellis.\" I shook his hand, told him I was happy to meet him although in fairness I didn't really care about him any more than I did anyone else. I keep telling myself that someday I'll say what I really mean when engaging in small talk but that would probably make me even less popular than I am now.\n\nWell... actually to tell the truth I was interested in seeing him; entirely because of the uniform he wore. None of the papers I'd pored endlessly over on the plane had mentioned who was running the operation--certainly not that it was Union Army. I suppose I might've guessed, but they're not known for a keen interest in archaeology--it'd figured it was maybe State, or the Foreign Service. So that was a little curious, if he himself was not. At that time.\n\nCaptain Ellis nodded his head towards the tents, made an encompassing gesture with a wave of his hand. \"Welcome to Tell Nahar Kibeera, Mr. Cameron.\"\n\n\\\n\nWhat I imagined was the site at Tell Nahar Kibeera consisted of about twenty-five people, myself included. There were a few tents, some boxes scattered here and there, and an open-top four-wheel drive vehicle. Everything was the same light-brown camouflage, and as I looked at it more and more I could discern little patterns--we archaeologists are good at finding things like that. The site seemed less random to me. It was organised. It was military.\n\nCaptain Ellis took my bag and pointed me towards a tent near the parked car. \"You'll want to go there, sir. Colonel Jameson is waiting for you.\"\n\nColonel James Jameson--what a name, really--was* in fact waiting for me. Literally, in that he was sitting behind a folding table in the tent and seemed to be anticipating my presence; but also figuratively, in that talking to him was really, looking back on it, the kind of right of passage Greek mythic figures endure, a feat to be performed just after snaring the Cretan bull and just before chasing the mares of Diomedes. You only think I'm exaggerating.\n\nJameson--whom I heard almost-exclusively called \"The Colonel,\"--was a frightening man. He was jet black, a pure sort of darkness that masked his features and seemed to obscure the objects around him. He was a black that your vision seemed less to perceive than to fall into. His short fur would have been glossy were light not so afraid to come near it. He was wearing a beret, also black and nearly indistinguishable from the rest of his head as a result; later I would see him without it and his large, sharply-pointed ears were of course black as well.\n\nIn short he was a shadow of a man. When he opened his mouth, though--or worse, smiled--his teeth were a glittering, flawless white. It was the closest to a contrast his body offered; even his eyes were so dark as to be nearly black, and one was never certain whether he even had them open. I suspect the opposite, in fact--that he never closed them--but the one was as likely as the other. Jameson was dressed in the same sort of fatigues as Captain Ellis, but a change of clothes and he would have fit perfectly on a pharaoh's tomb, weighing the souls of the dead on some ancient frieze.\n\nThe Colonel spoke and it was like music. A fugue, I should say, but deep and rich nonetheless. It was melodic and powerful, the only sort of voice a man of Jameson's nature can have. It resonated in every part of your body and seemed significant even when it was not, as when he first greeted me.\n\n\"Good afternoon, Mr. Cameron,\" he said--'said' is the best word I can use for it, but it's entirely inadequate. English doesn't have the words to describe his speech. When he was in one of his moods--as he was when I first met him--one did not hear his words nearly so much as one felt them.\n\n\"My name is Colonel James Jameson, and this is Nahar Kibeera.\" Listening to the words roll from his tongue I suddenly knew precisely what people who are spoken to by God must hear. Mind you, Jameson is not God. He's not the devil, either--I think I'm fairly confident on that count. He's sort of like a walking nightmare, except you're awake and you don't always notice until afterwards the depths of the character Jameson is. Oh, and unlike in your nightmares you're perfectly able to scream; I know this well. But it matters just as little.\n\nI was entranced by his voice, but I managed to collect my thoughts enough to say, \"hello, Mr. Jameson\"--it's poor form to address people by rank when you're a civilian, I've been told--and offer him a hand he either didn't notice or couldn't be bothered by. Probably the latter, since when I withdrew it he spoke again.\n\n\"Welcome to the site, Mr. Cameron. We're pleased to have you hear.\" He spoke slowly, deliberately, so that you could absorb his words. \"You're the last one to arrive, you know.\" I marvelled at the way he didn't seem to move at all when he spoke.\n\n\"What is this site?\" I asked him.\n\nHe made a sound that was suspiciously like laughter, although I hesitate to call it such. \"That's what we're counting on you to tell us, Mr. Cameron.\"\n\n\"You can't tell me anything?\"\n\n\"Of course I can. Your tent is out with the other living quarters, I trust you'll be able to find it. They are only temporary, as we will leave tomorrow.\" I'm writing these words now, and they seem so very simple--but I can feel his voice in my head even so, and they still sound quite profound even though I know they aren't. The impressions one is left by men such as Jameson are deep.\n\nHe said nothing more, and I gathered, from the heavy silence he somehow brought around him like a cloak, that I was to be done talking too. I bowed a little, then ducked out of the tent and back into the open.\n\nI had been so mesmerised by the Colonel that I failed to take note of the heat for the few minutes I had experienced him, so for all I know he frightened away that as well. Outside, however, it was still bright and I thought I could feel each individual ray of light pummel my body. I trudged towards the collection of tents; it seemed to take much longer than it actually did but when I arrived I realised that the Colonel had been right; my tent was easy to find. It had my bag in front of it, which was as sure a marker as you could wish for. I discovered that in perhaps the five or ten minutes that had passed since I had handed it to Ellis it was already painful to touch. I grimaced as I braved the searing heat and tossed the beaten suitcase into my tent.\n\nI sat down cross-legged in the open fabric door for a few minutes, collecting my thoughts. I was starting to get a headache from the reflected sunlight that my sunglasses were apparently incapable of coping with. It made me a little upset, and I fished in the side pocket of my suitcase for some aspirin tablets. Six years of college taught me well that you can never go far without those things.\n\nEventually I decided that it was important to acquaint myself with my surroundings and my comrades--the letters I'd read way back in Storelvsby implied I wasn't the lone civilian on the project, but Rivers hadn't elaborated and I'd entirely forgotten to ask the Colonel. I stood and felt the pain in my skull suddenly become amplified. I almost sat back down but decided not to; instead I shook my head a few times to clear it, then closed the flaps on my tent and set out.\n\n\\\n\nAt about two in the afternoon on a July day in the Assuli Expanse it becomes kind of difficult to think straight, which I personally feel is quite understandable. It also becomes difficult to see properly, not only because of mirages and the horrible pain of the sunshine but because there's this sort of vibe, an aura about the desert that has this effect. I know I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I don't know how people who live in the desert permanently cope with it. Personally I'd resort to drink, but the civilisations of Assuli haven't all collapsed so I presume there's some better way I haven't learned yet.\n\nWhen I saw the woman sitting on a crate outside of one of the myriad tents, then, she looked a little fuzzy, and I accepted this. Of course as I drew closer she didn't markedly clarify, which I found troubling until I got close enough to see that it was only half-illusion--the mild wind was ruffling her fur just enough to blur her outlines. It compounded my headache.\n\n\"Richard Cameron,\" I said to the figure when I got close enough that it was obvious I was directing the comment at her. \"I'm the new guy here.\"\n\n\"Naomi Kennard,\" she said in reply. She spoke with obvious inflexion, one of those rich Northland accents soaked thoroughly in dignity and culture. \"Nice to meet you.\" Her voice was attractive and drew ones ear almost as readily as Jameson's, though for different reasons.\n\nKennard was a collie, a striking creature with that gorgeous coat of deep red and soft white--long, thick fur that as I focused on I realised was entirely unsuited for Assulian archaeology. She extended a hand, which I shook warmly--she had a cultured handshake too, it was amazing--and I noticed as we exchanged this greeting that her other hand held a stranglehold on a bottle of water, half-full. A number of empty bottles were standing upright at her feet like faithful guardians of the crate she sat on.\n\n\"Water, huh?\"\n\nShe let her head roll back loosely, gave a sigh tinged with the sort of resigned antipathy for her present environment I knew very, very well. Then she looked at me. \"Good Lord yes, water. You want some?\"\n\nI gave a little laugh. \"If you've got water to spare I'll marry you on the spot.\"\n\nNaomi grinned and twisted her body back into the tent with a remarkably easy athleticism. She returned with a bottle that I noticed appreciatively was cold. I commented on this; she told me that the Union Army had provided her with a cooler as well as water to put in it. \"That's one thing they're nice about,\" she declared firmly.\n\nI nodded, and took a drink. Being myself no stranger to the desert I understood, of course, why she grasped her bottle with the same desperate need as an alcoholic. And her thick coat exacerbated the problem of the heat, it was obvious. She wasn't extensively clothed--not much more than I was--so I could see a fair amount of her fur. From the way it looked matted in places I guessed she'd poured water on herself at some time in the recent past--although the fact that she was using water in bottles, not kegs, told me she hadn't made a habit of it.\n\nThe collie motioned to a crate some yards from her tent and suggested that I could sit there if I desired; an offer I took her up on gladly. I felt less and less like standing. I dragged the crate--it was surprisingly light, probably empty, but I didn't have the energy or desire to lift it up--so that it faced her and sat down. The two of us were quiet for a minute, lost in our thought and our water.\n\nNaomi sighed. \"I hate this place,\" she told me.\n\nI nodded in sympathy. \"I understand, believe me.\" She rewarded me with a weary smile.\n\n\"Why would anyone live* here?\" she asked. I shrugged, said I wasn't sure. She drained her bottle of water in one long draught. \"Well, neither am I.\"\n\nI took another sip. \"You know,\" I told her, \"I left my tent looking to find the other archaeologists here. But you seem like a nice person, and you've got water, so I think I may not leave, if that's all right...\"\n\nShe laughed--a pleasant, easy laugh. \"I know what you mean. You're welcome to stay.\"\n\nI thanked her. \"Who else is here, anyway?\" I asked.\n\nNaomi thought about the question for a minute. \"I don't know. I just got here this morning. When I had the inclination I didn't have the time to find people, and since I've had the time I really haven't felt like moving.\" I said I understood.\n\n\"It's strange though,\" she said. \"I don't know about you but I'm drawing a pretty good paycheque for this.\" I nodded--I was too, much more than I was receiving as a teacher. \"So it's not like money is an object to whoever's funding this but I don't remember offhand that any names struck me as being very big in their field--no offence, Mr. Cameron.\"\n\n\"None taken,\" I said. \"And call me Richard.\"\n\n\"All right. But it's a pretty standard Eastern site from the report I got, and yet the real big names in Eastern archaeology aren't on the list. White, Arterrand, Henriksen, Sharon...\" She thought. \"And I know Sharon is on sabbatical now, and he's worked for Defence before.\"\n\nI considered this. \"Maybe he just couldn't make it. I had a very small window of opportunity, I know, and I almost didn't take them up on it,\" I recalled.\n\n\"Yeah, me too,\" Naomi agreed. \"Really it's quite strange all 'round.\"\n\n\"I have to admit I don't disagree,\" I said with a sigh. Really, any trip where the Union government sends you on an archaeological expedition on six hours notice and you get shot at on the way in is quite strange, although I didn't use those exact words with Kennard. In fact the whole set-up was bizarre, from the clandestine way I'd been taken to the site to the apparent inexperience of the work they've hired. And the more I thought about it, the more strange it had become.\n\n\"You were asking who's here...\" she began. \"I've met one person before, Dr. Blackman... it's sort of odd, I guess, he's a Mariner anthropologist, works out in the islands. I can't imagine what he's doing at an Eastern site.\" I shrugged. \"We met when I was doing my graduate work with Dr. Ron Deckard,\" she explained.\n\n\"You worked with Deckard?\" I asked, a bit incredulous.\n\nShe laughed, a little guiltily. \"Well, it's not something I advertise.\" I chuckled along with her. \"If you can keep a secret,\" she said, \"I still keep in touch with him. He's not the fool everyone thinks he is.\"\n\nI nodded. Then I stopped in mid-movement, and something clicked. \"Oh, my God...\" I breathed.\n\n\"What's wrong?\" Naomi asked, a sudden, worried expression on her face.\n\n\"I have to talk to Jameson,\" I said, and stood up, the heat and my headache forgotten. Because I suddenly knew what they had found, and what I, a reserved, nameless schoolteacher, was doing in the godforsaken desert, half a world from my home.\n\n\\\n\nDr. Ronald Deckard was my second-favourite archaeologist when I was in high school and college, and the one I most admired. He was an outspoken man who worked in the always-controversial field of physical anthropology. Deckard, however, was more unique than most physical anthropologists, and he had the misfortune of being an iconoclast, and irredeemably unorthodox--of course, that was why I identified with him.\n\nYou know the depictions on many ancient sites--cave paintings and hieroglyphs and the like--show creatures that aren't really like us, and have no counterpart on our world. They're bipedal, as we are, but quite hairless, with longer limbs and a very flat face. They show up everywhere, from the Assuli Expanse to sites near my hometown, and what they're supposed to be has been a question facing historians and anthropologists for time immemorial.\n\nThey become less common in art and the literature we have starting at around five thousand years ago, and they fade from the collective memory of civilisation quite rapidly, all things considered. Because they're found exclusively in very old sites we call them the 'progenitor archetype,' and in common parlance they're known as the 'Ancients.' But we've never found any fossils, really, and the consensus has been that they were an invention of the primitive mind. Indeed, analysis of the myths where they figure prominently has become a popular field of study.\n\nNot everyone was in agreement that they were simply an invention, however. A few people, clerics and the like, viewed and still view them as gods or near-gods. Some of the crazier folks insist that we were visited by aliens long, long ago and that they're responsible for the rise of our own civilisations. Nobody believes that.\n\nOn the vaguely more logical end, Dr. Deckard made a name for himself about ten years ago arguing very passionately that the Ancients were in fact a real species, closely related to ours; that they went extinct around five thousand years ago; that they may* in fact, have had an important--if not critical--role in the shaping of our prehistoric cultures. He pointed out that the progenitor archetype is universal, found in all civilisations within that time frame, with almost no variation.\n\nHe had no real answer for some of the important questions--such as why we'd not found any fossils, any evidence that could be documented and catalogued--save that we hadn't looked hard enough. He said he believed that a site containing precisely what we were looking for might be waiting for discovery, lurking somewhere beneath the sea or under the desert or buried in a jungle, far from our prying eyes.\n\nWhat he said made sense to me. But it went against every major theory and the convictions of all the respected archaeologists, for whom regarding the Ancients as simply a myth was a much easier answer. Deckard was ridiculed and disgraced. He lost his teaching position and has largely retired from archaeology--when last I heard of him he was a little-known author living in a small town in the mountains. He had accumulated a small following, but when Deckard was forced into premature obscurity they quickly dispersed, and his name became a black mark on one's curriculum vitae; Kennard knew this, as did I.\n\nUnlike her and Dr. Blackman, I never worked with Deckard. But I was a strong adherent to his beliefs and he was very important to me as a graduate student. For the brief period of time that it was acceptable to challenge the mainstream beliefs in archaeology I extensively studied prehistoric sites on the east coast, worked with leading underwater archaeologists on then-promising submarine sites that have now been forgotten.\n\nI became convinced that the evidence lurking beneath the waves pointed to a completely different species of bipeds cohabiting with us early in our history. Most persuasive--to me--was what appeared to be a shipwreck in the Karelian Sea, well preserved in the cold waters. Clay vessels in the ship's hold depicted Ancients almost indistinguishable from those found anywhere else in the world, which was not that unusual--but they showed none of us, and the wood at the site was a full five hundred years earlier than the first recorded naval excursions in our archaeological records.\n\nThe result of my studies was a book I titled Mysteries of the Ancient Fisherpeople. I felt that it lent important and credible evidence to the Deckard Hypothesis. In general it was well-received; it did well on the lists the newspapers print, I even had a few television interviews.\n\nAnd I was blacklisted by the archaeological community. As a doctoral student in a field most people passed over, I was left suddenly stranded, found that no one in power would listen to me and I had no recourse. The cold reaction of my fellow scientists was disheartening in a way I'd failed to appreciate beforehand, and the fact that my book was liked by the public made no difference at all. When Deckard was disgraced, so was I. Partly because I was hopelessly disillusioned and partly because it was impossible for me to continue, I quit the profession, got my teacher's certificate, and went to work in East Kavettia's capital, Storelvsby.\n\nNow I was in the Assuli Expanse and I knew beyond a doubt why. They'd found something, something that threatened to radically upset the precious stability of the anthropological world and, I guessed based on the speed at which I was moved, possibly the rest of us mortals as well. They were pulling people like Kennard, people like Blackman--people like me. Obscure scientists with diverse fields of study linked by only one common thread: an affiliation with the dead-and-buried Deckard Hypothesis.\n\n\\\n\nI strode into Jameson's tent. \"All right.\" I said--almost angrily--any fear temporarily gone from my mind. \"What the hell have you found out there?\"\n\nHe had been writing something in a binder that he closed slowly and deliberately before raising his head to--I presume--look at me. \"What did you say?\" he asked me. His voice had changed from before--it was still commanding, but it lacked the flowing musical quality he'd had when I'd talked earlier.\n\n\"Your site. What have you got out there? How old is it?\" I didn't ask politely--I demanded answers.\n\nHe stared at me and did not move. \"I've already told you that we don't know,\" he said.\n\n\"No, that's bullshit.\" I said by way of reply. \"If you don't know exactly what the hell's out there you've got a damn good idea. How much of the goddamn site report I was given back home was a lie?\" I harshly articulated my profanities.\n\nColonel Jameson betrayed no emotion. \"Mr. Cameron, I assure you...\"\n\nI cut him off. \"I don't want to hear your assurances. I want to hear you tell me what's going on.\"\n\nFor the first time, he raised his voice. \"Mr. Cameron,\" he said loudly, his voice clipped. \"You will learn what we know in good time.\"\n\n\"That's not good enough,\" I said. My voice was firm, although the Colonel's tone of voice was beginning to chip away at my courage.\n\n\"Yes, Mr. Cameron, I assure you it is.\" I opened my mouth to say something but he didn't allow this--went so far as to raise a hand to still me. \"Now Mr. Cameron, I'd love to continue this conversation with you but I'm sorry to say that if you open your muzzle one more time I will remove* it.\" Although I couldn't see his eyes, exactly, I felt them on me. I swallowed nervously and found that my throat had gone dry. \"If you have any problems with this operation, you will direct your queries to Captain Ellis. He will put up with you; I will not. And now, Mr. Cameron, you are going to leave.\"\n\nAnd without another word, I did.\n\n\\\n\nEllis was a little kinder. I approached him as he stood bent over the parked truck, apparently looking for something in its bed. When he heard my footfalls he looked up. \"Mr. Cameron!\" he said. \"Can I help you?\"\n\nI tried to think of what to say. After leaving Jameson's tent I felt drained, and a little bit weak. I gathered my thoughts quickly. \"Yes, I think you can.\"\n\nHe may have noticed my agitation, because his head tilted curiously. \"What's going on?\"\n\n\"Mr. Ellis, I've just had a conversation with your commander.\"\n\nHe smiled thinly. \"I gather it went well?\"\n\n\"He threatened to remove my muzzle.\" Captain Ellis raised his eyebrows.\n\nI explained to him what had happened, and he nodded. \"The Colonel is like that. He doesn't take kindly to people making demands of him.\" I had gained a very powerful appreciation of this fact, and I said as much to Ellis.\n\n\"But perhaps you can understand why I might be seeking you out?\"\n\nEllis sighed. \"Care to walk a little?\"\n\nHe handed me a canteen from the back of the truck and we began to walk slowly. I explained to him again what I suspected, and the reasons for that suspicion. I told him that I knew roughly what the government had found; I asked for more information.\n\n\"This is confidential,\" Ellis began--it's my belief that this isn't a good way to start a conversation, but I suppose you have to put up with certain things when you work for the government. \"Do you understand?\" I nodded. He sighed heavily again. \"All right, Mr. Cameron. You've guessed mostly right. We've found something that's clearly not supposed to be here. We don't know exactly what it is, of course, but we've got our suspicions, like you do. That's the honest truth. Cameron, you know that you wouldn't get called to just any site, not with your reputation. The Colonel happens to have read your book. You're his idea.\"\n\n\"How secret is all of this?\"\n\nEllis shrugged. \"Secret enough. We don't know what's at the site, but there's no reason to draw undue attention to it either.\" He stopped walking. \"Mr. Cameron, I know that you think full disclosure of things like this is very important. You may be thinking that you're going to tell people what you know.\" I didn't answer him. \"What Jameson probably didn't tell you, because he's got a bit of respect, is this, sir: you're in our employ. You do what we tell you to. If you don't, we'll shut you up, sir--one way or the other.\" He said these words quietly, though of course the implicit threat on my life reverberated in my head.\n\n\"I understand,\" I told him, and he nodded slowly.\n\n\"I suppose that's good enough.\"\n\n\"So the site report was a lie?\" I asked, as we started walking again.\n\n\"Yes, entirely a fabrication. We made up something we thought was plausible, but tried to leave it as vague as possible. We hoped it would be interesting to all the people we... wanted to come along. We toyed with sending, ah, tailored site reports but figured it wouldn't be worth it if you all started talking to each other. You'd ask too many questions.\"\n\n\"Like me.\" I said.\n\nCaptain Ellis shrugged at me. \"I guess.\"\n\nI nodded, changed the subject. \"Who all is here?\"\n\n\"As you said a few minutes ago, not many big names. Yourself, for instance.\" I didn't respond to the thinly-veiled insult. \"But everyone is acquainted in some capacity with the fairly controversial theories of Dr. Ronald Deckard, as you also guessed. You, for instance, are a published author who claimed that Ancients were sailing fishing vessels in the Karelian Sea. Marcus Blackman and Naomi Kennard both worked with Deckard when he was excavating in the Talhac Desert. Significantly, they both harbour lingering support for Deckard's theories, unlike most of his other associates. Dr. Marit Johansen has worked on the ancient Assulian pyramids and co-wrote three papers with Deckard. She escaped the fallout because within her narrow field of study she is highly respected. She has also continued to quietly defend Dr. Deckard's hypothesis, as you may or may not be aware.\"\n\nI was not, although I for one knew very well who Dr. Johansen was. I idolised her as a young undergraduate student; once drove nearly twenty hours straight to hear her give a talk on her work. It fascinated me, and I couldn't believe she was at the very same site as I was--it was like a dream come true; although it didn't really surprise me that she was a Deckard supporter, and if the government was expecting the site to be Assulian she was probably a good choice.\n\n\"Anyone else?\" I asked Ellis.\n\n\"Dr. Peter Clark,\" he said. \"He's quite talented with radiocarbon dating, I hear.\"\n\n\"He is,\" I confirmed. \"He's very well-known, highly respected. I'm surprised you got him, actually.\"\n\nMy walking companion looked at me and shrugged. \"He's a contract worker. We offered a good contract.\"\n\nI nodded.\n\n\"That's it, though. Just you five.\" It struck me that on the totem pole of the civilian team, I stood on the bottom--though I suppose that was to be expected. I looked up and discovered that we had come full circle and were standing back at the truck. \"Mr. Cameron, what I've said is still classified. You'll be briefed tomorrow morning--you're not to say anything to anyone until that time. Is that clear?\" I said it was. I started to walk off, but he said something else. \"Richard. We don't know what's down there yet, but whatever it is, it's metal--and if the early reports are to be believed, it's clicking hot.\" Our eyes met. I nodded thoughtfully, and then we parted ways.\n\n\\\n\nI found Dr. Johansen by accident, at what passed for the site's mess--a tent with a cooler and a box of vacuum-sealed meals. She was sitting on a crate, poking curiously at her food with a plastic fork. I sat across from her, and she looked up at me. \"I don't know what this is,\" she said. \"But I think it's the same stuff they put in flak jackets.\"\n\n\"Nah,\" I reassured her. \"Flak jackets taste better.\"\n\nShe smiled. \"It's not that bad, actually. They're self-heating if you don't quite feel warm enough.\"\n\n\"That's not much of a problem at the moment,\" I noted.\n\nShe shook her head. \"No, but I found that they're pretty unpalatable when you don't cook 'em.\"\n\n\"Oh.\" I was suddenly struck by a question. \"What is that, anyway?\"\n\nShe prodded it again. \"Gumbo.\"\n\nI cocked my head and stared at the blob she worried with her fork. \"Right,\" I said, a little hesitantly.\n\n\"I don't know that I want to eat it,\" she said. \"But I don't want to dispose of it anywhere else, because some innocent creature might stumble upon it.\" I nodded. She pulled a lighter from her pocket. \"I'd try incinerating it but curiously enough it doesn't burn.\"\n\nI laughed. \"I admit I'm intrigued,\" I said. \"Let me see if I can find one of those things.\" It was easy enough; there weren't many flavours and the chicken gumbo seemed especially unpopular. I took a packet and a bottle of water and sat back down.\n\n\"I'm Marit Johansen, by the way,\" she said as I did so.\n\nI nodded earnestly. \"I know. My name's Richard Cameron... I'm a pretty big fan of yours.\" She furrowed her brow and raised a quizzical eyebrow. \"You probably don't remember but about ten years ago I had you sign a poster of a book of yours. You were at a conference; gave a speech at Cliff Auditorium.\"\n\nHer expression changed, and she covered her mouth with a hand that didn't well disguise her recognition of me. \"I remember you,\" she said, laughing. \"You had blown the cover of some book up three or four times and turned it into a poster... you said that you were my biggest fan and had hitchhiked to see me.\"\n\n\"All true,\" I confessed. \"It was a good book.\"\n\n\"You were a little scary,\" she admitted. \"I guess you stuck in my head though.\"\n\nI grinned. \"I have that effect on people.\"\n\n\"So what have you been up to since then--I mean, other than stalking me?\"\n\nI hesitated a bit. \"I, uh, published a book and then went to teach history at a public high school.\"\n\nShe nodded, took a bite of her food. \"What book?\"\n\n\"It's not very well-known,\" I said. \"Just a little bit on some underwater studies I did up in Karelia.\"\n\n\"What was it called?\" She was persistent.\n\nI sighed. \"It was called Mysteries of the Ancient--\"\n\nShe finished the title. \"Fisherpeople.\" She looked askance at me and with some effort I held her gaze. \"You wrote that, huh?\"\n\n\"Guilty as charged,\" I said.\n\n\"It was pretty good,\" Johansen told me. \"I liked it. I didn't resize the cover and have you sign it or anything but it was credible work. And it made the Sentinel's best-seller list.\"\n\nI shrugged my shoulders. \"It was too close to what Deckard was saying. I think I'm the only one here who doesn't have a doctorate in their field--I couldn't finish after my book was published. My advisor apologised, but... he didn't really mean it. You might be surprised how difficult the community at large can make your life.\"\n\n\"Not at all. You may be the only one here at this site, but you're not the only one out in the wide world by far,\" she said. \"A lot of people got dropped from their studies, their jobs... it's a shame,\" Johansen sympathised. \"People passed Deckard over too quickly, I think. A lot of people got burned when they took him down.\"\n\n\"Yeah,\" I agreed. \"I seem to have been one of them.\"\n\n\"I'm sorry.\"\n\nI shrugged again. \"There's not much you can do. I don't think archaeology was for me anyway.\"\n\n\"You're here, though?\"\n\n\"Teaching history isn't for me either.\" And it wasn't, as I've explained. It's unsatisfactory work--maybe one student in fifteen actually cares; the rest act like caged animals. The classroom's like a prison for a lot of the students--hell, it's like one for me. There's too much apathy when you're standing in front of your class and too much random nonsense to deal with when you're not. I wouldn't wish the profession on anyone.\n\nThere was a bit of silence. I read the instructions on my gumbo--be wary of food that comes with instructions--and followed the directions. Some kind of compartment in the bottom of the square plastic cup was a chemical heater; you were supposed to press down in the centre. I did and was rewarded with an instantaneous heat I could feel through my fingertips. The instructions also said to stir the food; this was a fruitless task, I discovered, since the stuff didn't really separate enough to be stirred, but I pushed it around until steam began to rise from it.\n\n\"Neat,\" I commented.\n\n\"It's amazing what they can do these days.\"\n\nThe gumbo wasn't bad, surprisingly--tasteless, but warm and not wholly disagreeable. Johansen finished her own meal, and when she was done she cleared her throat.\n\n\"What do you suppose is out there?\" she asked.\n\nI looked up from my gumbo. \"I don't know.\"\n\n\"Neither do I,\" she said. \"But I bet it's something important.\"\n\n\"You think?\" I said, around a bite of food.\n\n\"They've got guys with guns, and the plane I came out in was flown by a man in uniform,\" she told me. \"They've got a pretty good amount of firepower for just any old dig.\"\n\nI nodded. \"True enough.\"\n\n\"You know,\" she said. \"I bet they've found something they think they can use somehow. Maybe a crashed Gaarderriken plane they want to recover, or something.\"\n\n\"That takes archaeologists?\"\n\n\"Maybe they wanted people who know how to handle sensitive sites,\" she suggested.\n\n\"Maybe.\"\n\nJohansen continued. \"Anyway I bet they're looking for an object of military utility. Maybe a weapon.\" She nodded, apparently pleased with herself for coming to this conclusion. I stared at her. \"Well it makes sense,\" she said, almost defensively.\n\nAnd although I didn't say it to her, it did make sense. But then I thought about Ellis's parting words, and in the heat of the desert evening I suddenly felt very, very cold.\n\n\\\n\nNaomi Kennard was still sitting outside her tent when I went looking for her after eating. The sun was beginning to get quite low in the sky and the oppressive, spiteful heat was fading away, bit by bit. Fortunately out in the Expanse it gets much cooler at night--one of the things that makes living there bearable, if only slightly.\n\n\"How did your meeting with Jameson go?\" she asked as I approached.\n\n\"He threatened to break my nose.\"\n\nShe laughed, although I had not really intended the statement to be humorous. \"He didn't, though?\"\n\nI pretended to feel for my muzzle carefully. \"No, I suppose not.\" This time we laughed together.\n\n\"What did you have to talk to him about?\"\n\nI frowned. \"Nothing, really.\" I cast about for an excuse. \"I wanted to know who was on the team with us.\"\n\n\"Oh, yeah?\" she asked, curious. \"Who's here?\"\n\nI explained and she nodded periodically as I listed the names. She was as enthused as I by Peter Clark's presence, and she too recognised Marit Johansen. She said again that with the exception of Clark nobody was really outstanding in their field and I nodded, agreeing. For obvious reasons I didn't explain to her the reality of the situation, and for her part she was content to not care much. The conversation drifted.\n\n\"So where are you from?\" I asked eventually.\n\n\"Northland,\" she said. \"Well, specifically the Transnarrows.\" I'd guessed she was from Northland by her accent, of course--it's quite unmistakable. The Transnarrows was a Northland colony that bordered the Union; it expanded across a number of straits and navigable rivers, hence the name. \"I mean, I was born in the Transnarrows but I grew up in Lancaster and I've spent the last decade in Audleyshire.\"\n\n\"Really?\" I said. \"You work with henges, then?\"\n\nShe shook her head. \"No, no, not anymore. The big sites in the north are all burials, not monuments.\" I nodded. \"I leave the megaliths to people who care about them more.\" The big stone structures were charismatic and popular among tourists, but it was understandable that a dedicated student of Northland archaeology would look beyond them.\n\n\"How are the burials?\"\n\nHer eyes lit up the way folks' eyes tend to when you engage them on subjects they're passionate about. \"Fascinating!\" she cried, and I smiled at her enthusiasm. \"I'm working full time with Jim Reed at the moment, on a site in far, far north Audleyshire. It's quite old.\"\n\n\"Yeah?\"\n\n\"At least four thousand years. There's exceptional evidence of quite valuable grave goods... it looks like whoever was there was of some importance. More interesting, though, is there's no ochre to be found at all. Completely unlike other Northland sites. We've looked... it's quite puzzling.\"\n\n\"You think they just didn't have any on hand?\"\n\n\"No, I think that's doubtful. I think it was conscious choice personally. You know what they used instead?\" she asked. I shook my head. \"Charcoal. We've found it very, very precisely outlined--we're positive the fellow was anointed with it before they interred him.\" It struck me that he probably would've looked very much like Colonel Jameson, then, although I didn't say this. \"Actually that's even better, because we've been able to get pretty solid dates off it.\" I nodded.\n\n\"Four thousand years.\"\n\n\"Or maybe even a little bit more,\" she confirmed.\n\n\"If they hold that could change our theories of global settlement patterns,\" I pointed out.\n\nNaomi grinned. \"Don't I know it? It's very exciting.\"\n\nI understood this feeling, although I hadn't experienced it myself for some years. \"Good luck,\" I said.\n\n\"Thanks.\" She stared at the ground and then, seeming to find a new topic written there, looked up at me. \"So what about you, what do you do?\"\n\nTwice in one night. I hated answering this question, although it was a matter of course that it would be asked by the anthropologists at Nahar Kibeera. \"I'm an instructor,\" I said, as nonchalantly as possible.\n\n\"Where at?\"\n\nAnd then came the reason why* I hated answering. \"Oh,\" I said. \"A public high school in Storelvsby.\"\n\n\"Really.\" It wasn't a question, more a statement of curiosity.\n\n\"Sure, sure. It keeps me busy.\"\n\n\"Do you enjoy your work?\"\n\nI shook my head. \"No, not at all. It saps my will to live,\" I said. She looked concerned. \"The thing is, Naomi, I'm the only civilian here who's not some professional or working on some site that's gonna tell us more about the ancient world than we ever knew before or... or...\" I couldn't think of anything to finish my statement.\n\n\"There's nothing wrong with that.\"\n\n\"No, there isn't,\" I said. I was, however, losing the battle to pretend that I didn't care. \"Makes me the odd man out, though. I listen to Johansen talking about working on the Pyramids, and you with your burial mound...\" I laughed a dispirited laugh. \"I teach freshmen about Ancient Rome. I stand up at a chalkboard and talk at them while they pass notes to each other and ignore me. I grade papers written by people who think Khufu was made from soybeans.\" I sighed. \"One kid last year kept turning papers in that were half burnt. I don't even want to know why. I have to say it's not very rewarding, I think.\"\n\nNaomi looked sympathetic. \"You've got a good reason for thinking that I suppose.\" I shrugged. \"So why are you a teacher? I mean... you'll excuse me but you don't sound like an amateur.\"\n\n\"I'm not, not exactly.\" I related briefly my life story, and she understood exactly what I meant. She said the same thing Johansen had, that it was a shame what had happened to Deckard, that many of his adherents had been unfairly disgraced.\n\n\"And you know,\" she said. \"I worked with him closely.\" She shook her head. \"There but for the grace of God...\"\n\nAnd we talked until the sun had sunk below the horizon.\n\nDAY TWO\n\n\"Last Monday, July fourteenth, an EC-7 reconnaissance aircraft disappeared off Siedal Bluff radar screens,\" Captain Ellis told us at our briefing the following morning. The sun was still very low and it was cool enough to be pleasant as we sat outside Colonel Jameson's tent and listened attentively. Ellis had set up a projector and was casting still images onto the side of the tent.\n\n\"The aircraft had departed Bellomont Aerodrome at zero seven hundred hours with a crew of eleven, on a mission of general reconnaissance over the Naffis Sea, especially foreign shipping departing from ports in north Assuli. By sixteen hundred, with no response from the flight, a squadron of search aircraft was dispatched from that airbase, and found no trace of the EC-7, or her crew.\" Ellis displayed a familiar map--the Naffis Sea, with the République to its north and Assuli on its south. He drew out the airplane's flight path with an outstretched finger.\n\n\"We obtained permission from the Assuli to conduct a search and rescue operation, as specified under the 1969 treaty. Air resources from Bellomont and a carrier group in the Eastern Sea cooperated in the search. The EC-7 carries... delicate material, and it is the policy of the Union government to undertake all necessary measures to recover it. Hence the expense.\"\n\n\"Wednesday afternoon the crew of a Northland R-4 running a magnetometer sweep of the Assuli desert watched their readouts go off the charts. They came around for another pass, and found...\" Ellis fished for a slide, clicked it into place. \"This.\" The photograph showed what appeared to be a large sandy mound, seen from some distance up.\n\n\"The hill describes an area of approximately fifty acres, completely covered over, and somewhat resembles a sand dune. It rises to around two hundred feet in elevation, or around eighty feet taller than the ground around it. It should be obvious that the discovery does not represent an EC-7,\" Ellis said, and there were some quiet chuckles. \"Nonetheless, since we were in the area it seemed prudent to investigate.\"\n\nAnother photograph, this one taken from ground level. \"A joint Union-Northland science team arrived the following morning, and were able to complete a preliminary sonar scan of the area we are now calling Tell Nahar Kibeera. They determined that it was once a canyon which collapsed in on itself at some point in the past. The sonar also indicates that the hill is much more hollow than one might have expected, a consequence of the walls falling into each other as an arch.\" He pantomimed this with his hands. \"We were told that there are high quantities of steel and other metal alloys in these walls, the implication being of course that they are artificial.\" Murmurs ran through Ellis's audience. \"Sand has shifted to cover a... sort of entrance to this cavern, to a depth of just over thirty feet.\"\n\nEllis stopped talking and looked at the audience for a second. He seemed to be thinking about what to say. Then he gave up, and directed a nod towards Colonel Jameson, who had been standing some feet away but now moved to take Ellis's place.\n\n\"Information on this site has gone straight to the top,\" Jameson said, in his richest, most beautiful voice. \"I was ordered specifically by General McPherson himself to organise a small expedition to complete an initial analysis of the site. I hope you all appreciate the extremely delicate conditions we are currently operating under. With the current geopolitical climate, we are running on borrowed time. We located our EC-7 on the third day of the search, but Assuli doesn't know that yet. We've got maybe a week before they start asking questions, and I hope you're up to the task.\"\n\nA week was nothing. A week gave you just about enough time to dig a latrine pit. There was of course no way that any practical, substantial archaeology could be done in a week--Jameson had to have known that. I knew that; judging from the reaction his orders got the rest of the group knew that. The Colonel ignored all of this.\n\n\"By the time we reach the site this afternoon we hope to have finished an entrance to the cavern. We'll be clearing as much sand off the mound as possible, to expose the bare rock underneath. That'll take time of course, and as our crews are working on that we'll be engaging in a preliminary overview of the site.\n\n\"Your assignment is going to be to conduct as thorough a survey as you can. I can't say how long we'll have, but don't plan on one of your decade-long excavations, because you just don't have the time. We don't know what's down there, what we're going to find. Maybe it'll be nothing, and you'll all be back home the day after tomorrow. Or maybe it won't be nothing.\" He paused dramatically. \"Do your best, that's what I hear you're good at.\"\n\n\\\n\nAs we gathered together our possessions for yet another move I could hear the distant thumping of rotorblades and in a few minutes a helicopter appeared. It landed quickly, and the engines didn't even shut off. As Jameson commanded his men and the civilian scientists aboard, I felt strangely exhilarated--it's not every day you can pretend like you're preparing for some dangerous mission from an action movie. The Union troops were even outfitted in full military regalia--so it was all very atmospheric.\n\nAs we stepped inside the vehicle I noticed immediately that all of the windows had been taped over and there was no way of seeing the outside world. I nudged Naomi, gestured to the windows. \"They don't want us to know where we're going.\" She cocked her head, then nodded.\n\n\"High stakes,\" she said, \"if they can't afford to let us know that.\"\n\nThe helicopter lifted off perhaps only five minutes after it landed. Since I couldn't see outside I began to feel myself grow increasingly uncomfortable--the pilot was as far as I know very capable but there was still movement, and it still wreaked havoc on my body. I don't like to think of myself as being very sensitive--everyone of course wants to see themselves as a macho man--but motion-sickness can overcome the strongest souls. That's what I tell myself.\n\nDr. Clark, a well-dressed fox--I'd seen his picture before in more than one journal; he looked very professional--was sitting next to me in the helicopter. He had sat down, then without a word rested his head against the metal of the helicopter's fuselage and closed his eyes. Twenty minutes into the flight he sat up and said something under his breath.\n\n\"What's that?\" I asked.\n\nHe looked at me. \"We're going in circles,\" he said softly.\n\n\"We are?\"\n\nHe nodded, quite slowly. \"I'm sure of it. Can't you feel it in your ears?\" I shook my head. \"Well it's there. We're not turning fast but we've been going in circles for at least ten minutes now, maybe fifteen. Just a little bit of a bank and a little bit of tail rotor.\"\n\n\"Maybe they're just making a wide turn,\" I suggested.\n\nHe thought. \"No, I think we've been doing this for too long. They don't need to turn so gently we don't notice it.\" As if to punctuate his words the helicopter dipped and adopted a pronounced list. It straightened out quickly, and Peter shook his head. \"They figure if we knew about the direction and the travelling time we could estimate where the site actually was. The desert's so big that if we're off by more than ten or twenty minutes you could spend a year searching and not find it again.\" I nodded. \"And maybe they're trying to throw us off anyway.\"\n\n\"Must be pretty important.\"\n\n\"Archaeology meets national security,\" Clark said, and laughed. \"Maybe.\"\n\n\\\n\nBy my wristwatch the helicopter flight took a little over an hour and a half--if Clark were to be believed, around forty minutes was taken up in circling. The landing was as abrupt as the takeoff--the aircraft dropped quickly; there was a thump as it hit the ground, and then the ramp dropped open and we disembarked quickly. The helicopter was on-site no more than two or three minutes.\n\nWhen the sandstorm its rotors created dissipated I was able to see the real Nahar Kibeera site. The hill was prominent, and clustered a short distance away were a handful of trailers and two armoured vehicles that looked very military. They both had turrets. Some trucks had also been parked near the trailers, and a small number of tents had been erected. It looked vaguely more serious than the improvised base Carl had flown me into.\n\n\"All right,\" Captain Ellis said. \"Two trailers have been set aside as civilian barracks, the third is our makeshift laboratory. Get yourselves set up and we'll see if we can't move out to the site by this afternoon.\"\n\nWe worked quickly. Clark had instruments he needed to unpack and set up, and I helped him with these. I had nothing but my notepad and my suitcase, which I set inside the trailer and thought no more of. By mid-morning we were gathered around a truck, waiting instructions.\n\nThere were fifteen of us. Colonel Jameson and Captain Ellis were accompanied by eight soldiers; and then there were the five civilian scientists. It was not a particularly large project. I've worked on much bigger sites--and ones where nobody carried rifles.\n\nThe five of us talked between ourselves for a few minutes, made final preparations. A handful of Union soldiers stood near us, mostly looking confused. Jameson appeared from behind one of the armoured personnel carriers. \"How are we doing?\" he asked, fairly pleasantly for him.\n\n\"Pretty good,\" Clark said. \"What happens now?\"\n\nJameson ignored him--we were evidently not the object of his questioning--and spoke to the soldiers. \"Morris, I want you to work with Ellis and Primachenko setting up a perimeter. Tell the Lieutenant we need an uplink and I'd like a second opinion on the defensibility of this damn place.\" One of the men nodded and left. \"Andrews, set up the M-8s. Don't arm them yet, that's ok.\" A second man gave a brief salute and started off. \"Taylor, Handley, assist him.\"\n\nThe Union presence having been dispersed, the Colonel turned to us. \"All right, folks, apologies for that. We're just getting the last bit of the camp set up. We should move out within the hour.\"\n\nI was beginning to wonder about the operation. \"You need a perimeter?\"\n\n\"Yes,\" the Colonel told me. \"It's standard operating procedure. You don't want to be left without a perimeter, just in case.\"\n\n\"What are M-8s?\" Naomi asked.\n\nThe Colonel sighed. \"Fifty-calibre machine guns. We can set them up quickly, it gives the camp some degree of protection.\"\n\n\"Against what?\"\n\n\"Look, Dr. Kennard. It's just not worth taking risks. This is the way things work. I'm going by the book, and I'd appreciate you allowing me to do my work.\" He looked us over. \"This is a military site, we follow military protocol, use military equipment, draw military funding. That's why we've got APCs--ah, armoured personnel carriers--instead of Land Rovers. It's why I'm here. We'll try not to be too intrusive. Now, ah, Dr. Clark--how's your laboratory?\"\n\nClark shrugged. \"It's pretty good considering you managed to get it inside a trailer. Not quite what I'm used to, but I can't see any ways that it'd be inadequate.\"\n\nJameson nodded. \"Excellent. All right. Keep yourselves busy,\" he said, and left.\n\n\"He didn't answer my question, did he?\" Naomi asked us. I shook my head.\n\n\"Well, in a roundabout way,\" Marit Johansen replied. \"He didn't say who he thought was likely to attack if that's what you mean?\"\n\n\"Is anyone?\"\n\n\"They're rather worried about security,\" Johansen said. \"I think the Colonel has made that pretty clear.\"\n\n\"Why?\" Clark asked.\n\nAnd none of us had an answer--or if we had one, nobody said anything. I for one suspected highly that the Union was worried about interference from the Assuli, who were not our allies. The newspaper I'd read on the plane coming across the Eastern Sea talked about the rising tensions between the Gaarderrike People's Republic and the Union of Free States, spoke of military exercises being carried out in theoretically neutral waters and suggested that a dangerous game of brinksmanship was starting. I didn't know what to think of that--I'm not a political scientist.\n\nThis conflict was all over the news, however--impossible to avoid, really--and one didn't have to know about politics to understand that reasonable men could suggest the world was in a time of trial. Well, who knows? But the Assuli were Gaarderriken allies, not ours, and if the notion that they were simply pawns to the People's Republic hadn't crossed my mind extensively, it almost certainly found a home in the military brain of James Jameson.\n\n\\\n\nAbout thirty minutes after Jameson left, we were shepherded onto a five-ton truck for the trip to the Nahar Kibeera site itself. Myself and the four other scientists were joined by the Colonel, Ellis, and three soldiers, one of whom was wearing the insignia of the Union Medical Corps.\n\nThe site itself was not far away, but we were bringing fairly heavy equipment and Jameson had suggested that it made sense to drive rather than walk. It took only ten minutes travelling the sandy Assuli Expanse to reach the mound of earth; still, I was grateful that I didn't have to walk the same distance.\n\nAn excavation of sorts had been attempted earlier--a corridor had been cut into the sand and the desert was being held back through plastic barricades. Metallic boxes were scattered about the site; Dr. Clark tapped me on the shoulder and gestured to them. \"Deep-scanning gear,\" he said, and I nodded by way of reply. Ellis had explained that the site was being extensively mapped without any of us being present at all, and the Union sonar was undoubtedly only a part of this. Technology was beginning to replace the traditional archaeologist in some of their fieldwork--I minded this only a little, and only out of a sense of nostalgia.\n\n\"Considering what we started with, we've made good progress,\" Ellis told us as the truck rumbled to a halt. \"We've got maybe another four feet of sand to clear, and that'll go quick today. We're also getting pretty good results from our sonar.\" At this he indicated the boxes as well. \"So we're going in well-prepared.\"\n\nPeter Clark wanted to know what they knew of the internal structure, and by way of reply Ellis shoved towards him a computer, one of the new lap-held ones. I caught a glimpse of some wire-frame illustrations--probably interpreted from the sonar. \"This looks almost like there's a solid structure down there,\" the fox mused. \"I wouldn't be surprised if you're looking at an enclosed complex of some kind.\"\n\n\"That's our guess,\" Ellis said. \"We're trying to clear out most of the sand that's covered this cavern. We'll start with that as soon as we know what's actually inside.\"\n\nMarcus Blackman interjected. \"So when you're done you hope to have exposed all of the old compound?\"\n\n\"That's the plan. It all appears to be fairly loose--just drifts, in places. We don't know what the old cavern was--maybe a caldera, some old mountain was excavated or something. But it's clearing nicely.\"\n\n\"What precautions are being taken against irreparably damaging the context of the site, then?\"\n\n\"Dr. Blackman, we're doing what we can, I assure you.\"\n\nBlackman seemed to be on the verge of replying, but bit his lip and said nothing.\n\n\\\n\nThe little pathway that had been excavated down into what we were being told was a cavern was clearly defined and it sunk a good twenty or twenty-five feet into the desert sand, with improvised cofferdams having been erected all around. Two men were already on site, working with machines to blow the sand away yet further and expose the underlying rock. I would've thought that this would be something like trying to clear the Eastern Sea with a bucket brigade, but they were making quite good progress.\n\nAs we stood around watching them, Ellis passed out masks for us to wear. \"It's not so important now,\" he said, \"but it's been suggested that we take precautions once we're actually inside the cavern. We don't know what's down there in terms of, ah, pathogens.\"\n\nIt was a reasonable precaution, even if the respirators themselves--which had masks that fit rather tightly over one's muzzle--were somewhat uncomfortable, so we accepted them without demur. And presently--it seemed like only ten minutes and may have been less--one of the two soldiers working on the corridor stepped back, and quietly said something to the Colonel. He nodded.\n\n\"All right,\" he told us. \"Check your respirators.\" We did. \"Let's go,\" he said, and he led the way down the hallway of sand.\n\nAt the end of this long stretch was something that looked depressingly black. There was no light whatsoever coming from within, and the bright midday sun only served to illuminate more sand from within what I assumed was the cavern. It was, in a word, foreboding--I'm used to working on sites where the sun touches everything you do. Jameson switched on a powerful torch and shone it into the blackness ahead of us.\n\n\"Huh,\" he said. \"You can't see anything down there.\" He turned around. \"Lieutenant, you're quite certain there's a cavern?\"\n\nA heavily accented voice from behind me replied. \"Yes sir, the sonar is very much in agreement. The cavern extends for at least two hundred metres beyond this point.\"\n\n\"How much is that in feet?\" Jameson asked.\n\n\"About two hundred and twenty yards,\" Peter Clark said. \"Say, six hundred and fifty feet.\"\n\nThe Colonel shone the light down into the blackness again. \"Well, if you say so.\" Then he ducked under a low entrance and was inside the cavern. We couldn't see him, but then, the blackness was oddly fitting for Jameson anyway.\n\n\"All right,\" he said, his voice booming. It echoed so much he was almost hard to hear. \"Come on in, it's quite nice in here.\"\n\nOne by one, we did. I like to think I was very brave, although really I had little choice but to enter the cavern. And I wanted to see what was on the other side.\n\n\\\n\nThere was not much. The walls were rock, although I thought I could see little gleaming bits of metal in the swinging arcs of our lamplights. They were close to being featureless, and they stretched far up over us so that a torch's glow was pallid and lifeless by the time it touched them.\n\nWe walked softly, listening to the crunching sound of our footfalls, and cast our lights about mostly randomly. Suddenly I heard someone shout, \"hey! Look at this!\" and there was a small commotion near what as far as I could tell was a small boulder. \"Is that a body?\" Ellis wanted to know. Nobody answered for long enough that I suspected that was exactly what it was, and ran towards the source of the noises.\n\n\"My God!\" I heard Kennard cry as I reached what had quickly become a tight circle around the object.\n\nThere was a jumble of voices all running together.\n\n\"Very linear--\"\n\n\"--post-cranial looks identical to ours--\"\n\n\"--but the head--\"\n\n\"--it's completely* unprognathic--\"\n\n\"--look at the shape of the--\"\n\n\"--incredibly gracile, no signs of--\"\n\n\"--what the hell is going on?\" This last was from the Colonel, and everyone stopped talking. \"What is this thing?\"\n\n\"It's a dead body, sir.\" This came from Ellis.\n\n\"It's more than just a dead body,\" Naomi countered.\n\n\"What is it then?\" Jameson asked.\n\n\"Revolutionary,\" Dr. Johansen breathed.\n\n\"What does that mean?\"\n\n\"It's fascinating,\" Peter Clark said.\n\n\"God damn it, will somebody tell me what's going on?\" the Colonel thundered.\n\nWe were all quiet. Dr. Clark spoke first. \"The skeleton probably isn't much newer than the site, which I'd guess is a couple thousand years old at least. The post-crani... ah, the part of the body below the skull... is very much like ours. But the head looks completely different.\"\n\n\"It's one of your Ancients?\" Jameson asked.\n\n\"Well...\"\n\n\"If it's not,\" I said. \"It's as close to one as we've ever seen before. And it doesn't look like anything you'll find on Earth today.\"\n\nJameson nodded. \"What do we do with it?\"\n\n\"Probably people are going to want it documented extensively. This one discovery alone will revolutionise physical anthropology.\"\n\nJameson nodded again. \"Ok. Leave this alone. Ellis, mark the site. Everyone else, don't disturb it until we can get more people here.\" It was a prudent suggestion. \"All right, back to the survey,\" Jameson ordered. I had barely managed to take a single step, though, when the Colonel stopped me. \"Cameron.\"\n\n\"Yes?\" There was suddenly no one around, and I became acutely aware of how much I disliked being so alone with him.\n\n\"We're coming up on the interior structure the sonar appears to have detected. What do you suppose we can expect to find inside it?\"\n\n\"I'm not sure. Judging from that skeleton, we're not dealing with anything I've ever seen before. It might just be a simple old castle, or... or there might be killer robots lurking there, for instance.\"\n\n\"How likely are the robots?\"\n\nI stared into the darkness ahead as though I could see deeper into the cavern. \"I would say probably not very likely--but I could be wrong.\"\n\n\"We'll hope that you're not. Ellis told you about the radiation. Outside, it's only just noticeably above the local background, but they tell me there might well be something glowing inside...\" For the first time, his voice trailed off rather than ending decisively.\n\nI nodded. \"There might. We'll just have to see.\"\n\n\\\n\nThe outside wall of \"the interior structure\" was smooth, grey, and unbroken. We five scientists, plus Jameson, Ellis and two other Union soldiers, walked slowly down its length until abruptly we came upon what was unmistakably a great door, tall and made of some type of metal. It looked very strong, and as our torches revealed this edifice, inscribed here and there with alien symbols, my heart caught and a thrill ran through me. It was in a word indescribable--the flickering, for the first time in four years, of passion.\n\n\"The structure's integrity seems to have held,\" one of the soldiers said--Primachenko, I think, the one who had spoken before. \"I'd imagine the rest of the complex is similarly preserved.\"\n\n\"That's good,\" Jameson said. \"Now... how do we open it?\" Marcus Blackman--a rather dour person, in general--rapped at the door and pretended to listen for a reply. There was a bit of nervous laughter, of which the Colonel did not take part. \"All right, that doesn't work. Primachenko, we have plastique back at the base camp, right?\"\n\nJohansen responded before the Lieutenant could. \"Sir, I have to say that's a rather poor idea.\"\n\nI nodded. \"She's right--blowing that door up could be very dangerous...\"\n\nThe Colonel looked--turned his head, at least--towards the door, then back to us. \"This thing has stood intact for thousands upon thousands of years. Used carefully, explosives aren't going to do it much harm. It's very solid.\"\n\n\"Maybe,\" Marit admitted, \"but what about what's behind it? We could be doing grave damage to God alone knows what... I don't think that's a risk you should be willing to take.\"\n\n\"Or we could be damaging nothing at all. Either way we're stalled here. We can't just stand around forever.\"\n\n\"There are practical concerns, too,\" Captain Ellis pointed out. \"Even if we didn't take out a support or something like that, the explosion could collapse the excavation up there... we'd be trapped, and nowhere to go.\"\n\nThis, evidently, dissuaded the Colonel. \"All right, then we're back at square one.\"\n\n\"Sir. I've got a laser welder back at the truck,\" Primachenko suggested. \"I think we could probably use that to cut a hole.\"\n\nJameson nodded and dispatched Primachenko and his companion--Harkins--to fetch the necessary equipment. They were gone only fifteen minutes--then, in a flurry of sparks and white heat, a portal melted its way into the compound. Angular shapes caught torchlight as we cast about from the outside; when the metal had cooled, Jameson motioned us in with a wave of his hand. If I had found the door alone thrilling, I was completely unprepared for what we found.\n\n\\\n\nIt did not look old. Most sites that I've worked on are eroded, dusty, worn and faded from hundreds of years of use--and many more of neglect. This, though... this was almost clean. It was not, I should say, eerie--just surprising. In two- or three-feet wide circles of light we examined what lay inside, I--and everyone else, no doubt--trying to figure out what we had found.\n\nThere were buildings--this, I didn't doubt. They looked very normal, with doors and even windows. They had been clearly planned, lying in straight rows and columns, grouped here and there in neat clusters. They looked rather modern, masonry and metal as opposed to adobe or wattle. Because of the concrete shell that surrounded everything I rather doubted it was a village, but it did look rather townlike.\n\nI tried to imagine what it would've looked like a thousand or more years ago, when the strange apparitions whose skeletons lay outside bustled back and forth, gossiped, went about their daily lives. Could they have known that we curious souls would be peering from our present into theirs? Would they have imagined our prying eyes? It was indeed a mystery--we did not even appear to be dealing with our own species, after all, and who knows what the Ancients thought?\n\nIt was Ellis who found the \"car\"--it looked, at least, something like one, down to the wheels, plastic-looking objects that were evidently not pneumatic and had not deflated during their long slumber. There were more of them, scattered about--all built on the exact same pattern, which looked something like a dune buggy. There were seats on the inside, but no steering wheel--in fact no controls were visible at all. This too was a mystery--and not one I could even begin to consider in the short time we spent there before moving on.\n\nPresently we came across another cluster of four presumably-mobile objects, in a bit of a clearing. These, shaped something like a large flattened teardrop, had no wheels and sat heavily upon the ground. They appeared to have windows, of a sort, and looked conventional enough that when Jameson suggested that they were flying machines, nobody disagreed, although as to how they functioned we were mute.\n\nLieutenant Primachenko provided us with our first clue. He was holding an unwieldy box and a wand which he waved over the closest teardrop. Fiddling with a switch on the box, he waved the wand and then tilted the box, which had a dial on the top, towards Jameson, who shrugged. \"Thirteen millirems per hour, sir,\" Primachenko explained. I noticed Clark look rather warily at the object and take a step back.\n\n\"Is that bad?\" the Colonel asked.\n\nThe Lieutenant examined the box again. \"I don't believe so, sir.\"\n\n\"How about we try again with a 'yes,' or maybe a 'no'?\" Jameson's voice was dangerously calm\n\n\"Radiation is not my specialty, sir, I... I can't say.\"\n\n\"It's a great deal higher than normal,\" Peter interjected. \"But I wouldn't think it's particularly dangerous.\"\n\nIgnoring the chagrined Lieutenant, Jameson now turned to the fox. \"Are we going to start glowing, Dr. Clark?\"\n\nTo me, Peter looked suddenly absurd in his blazer and tie, facing the dark form of the Colonel, but he shook his head nonchalantly. \"That wouldn't happen in any case, but... I'd guess the reason Primachenko has the Geiger counter is because you picked up radiation from the outside, am I right?\" There was no response that I could see, but as Clark proceeded he evidently had discerned one. \"This is almost certainly what's causing it. I'm not a physicist, per se, but... I'd guess this isn't too dangerous unless you make your permanent home here.\"\n\n\"Well we won't be staying long. We should give it a wide berth, then?\"\n\n\"That might be prudent,\" Clark agreed, and I realised we had been edging away from the craft as the two spoke. Hearing Clark's explanation was reassuring, although as a child of the 1960s radiation scares the living hell out of me.\n\n\"All right, then. Keep clear of these things unless you don't have a choice. Let's split up--this place isn't too big.\" With hand movements he split us into groups. \"Dr. Johansen, Dr. Kennard, why don't you go that way? Dr. Blackman and Clark, how about this area?\" I began to get a sinking feeling at this point, which was confirmed when he dispatched Primachenko, Ellis, and Harkins in yet a third way and left me with him. Why exactly he had taken a fancy to me--instead of Clark, who was more intelligent, or Kennard, who was more personable (and lovely besides)--I had no clue, but I rather wished that he hadn't. To no avail.\n\nI followed him down one of the causeways, walking slowly, taking as much in as I could. It was a few minutes before the Colonel broke the silence. \"So what do you think, Mr. Cameron?\"\n\n\"It's certainly interesting. Very different from any other site I've worked on.\"\n\n\"No robots, though, just the radioactive flying saucers.\"\n\nI shook my head, which I don't suppose he saw. \"No, no robots. All the same I guess I'm surprised by how modern this all looks.\"\n\n\"Our level of technology?\"\n\nI thought a little about this. There was nothing outright that would seem to prove they were more advanced than we, and I told him this. \"Still, I can't shake the feeling that these folks were a little further along. Not by much, necessarily--or maybe by centuries. We can't just assume they'd develop like us.\"\n\n\"Even though we shared a planet.\"\n\n\"Even though. I was reading an article in the newspaper about what people think life will be like in the year 2000. It's different now than what we thought even twenty years ago, so our perceptions of the future change a lot.\"\n\n\"But we won't have things like those airplanes in fourteen years.\"\n\n\"Probably not,\" I agreed. \"If that's what they are, of course. I mean, that's your first guess, and mine too, but we can't know what these people were thinking, all these years ago. Maybe they're just altars, or tractors, or something we don't even have an equivalent of and can't imagine.\"\n\n\"I would think,\" he observed, \"that the hardest task of an archaeologist like yourself would be doing just that.\" And this was true--in part at least. In my thoughts I stopped and turned the thought over. \"Like myself\"--was I one, then?\n\n\\\n\nFrom further discussion as we crisscrossed the Nahar Kibeera site, I began to get a grip on Jameson's interest in archaeology, and other things that he spoke not quite at length, but certainly more than in passing, about. He was, if frightening, an intelligent soul and, while not truly liking* him any more, I began to nurture a respect for the Colonel that I still have, long after the fact. Among other anecdotes one that has stuck in my mind illustrating his perception and wisdom was a scene that took place about an hour later, after we had all regrouped at the entrance and he asked for preliminary results.\n\nNaomi--who, I noted subconsciously, had drifted from Johansen to stand happily close to me--spoke first. \"I'd say it's rather too early to make any rash judgments. We just don't know enough at the moment--but of course, that's the nature of history. It's a process.\"\n\nI perceived Jameson's nod, and then shortly thereafter was shaken from the distraction of Kennard's voice by his own. \"Certainly. For now we see as through a glass, darkly; but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.\"\n\n\"One Corinthians,\" Clark said then, either a response or a completely unhelpful explanation.\n\nJameson nodded to him, offering also a rather cryptic, \"thirteen twelve.\"\n\nI looked from one to the other. \"What's that, now?\" Clark combined what he and Jameson had said, and I shrugged. \"All right...\"\n\nThe Colonel, who never actually lost his temper, did favour me with an exasperated sigh. \"It is from a little-known book called the Bible, Mr. Cameron--a tome your familiarity with which you might, for my sake, consider increasing.\" He was, of course, chastising me, and his words were rather harsh--but for all that I don't think he was truly very angry. Disappointed, perhaps.\n\nAnd while at first I was surprised that a man like Jameson would've read the Bible, in retrospect it made perfect sense. So, too, did his providing me with a slightly worn King James edition several days later--he was a riddle, Jameson, wrapped in an enigma, wearing a cloak of absolute darkness.\n\n\\\n\nAfter we returned to base camp, the Colonel disappeared, with his men, leaving the civilians to fend for ourselves. We made our way to the mess--this time staged out of a trailer, but offering no more palatable fare--and ate a fairly quick dinner. Perhaps half an hour of discussion--less spirited than you might've guessed, considering what we had stumbled across--occurred between us after this before Johansen and Marcus Blackman announced their intentions to begin drawing up a site map and retired for the night. No sooner had they left then Clark--still wearing a tie, although his jacket had gone away at some point--intimated that he should begin work on radiocarbon analysis of the body we had found (technically what he said was, \"well, I've got a skeleton to be dating--imagine, we haven't even kissed yet and I'm putting him through a spectrometer!\") and departed as well.\n\nNaomi looked in the direction he had gone, then to me. \"Well, we're rather popular.\"\n\n\"Evidently,\" I said. \"Still--if I had to be alone with only one other person here, I think it'd be hard to come up with someone I'd rather spend time with.\"\n\nAt this she laughed, face crinkling into the glow of a smile. Absolutely wonderful. \"I see.\" I shrugged. \"Well I would be remiss, I suppose, if I didn't echo the sentiment.\" Then it was my turn to smile. Even if you are, like me, a dour and cynical man, there is something contagious about the emotion of happiness--especially around certain people. My feelings--which I hope are obvious enough--for Kennard aside, she was one of them anyway, and we did nothing but smile for a few seconds before she straightened her face. \"Now.\" She gestured to the looming tell. \"What is that?\"\n\nI shook my head and whistled. \"Ya got me. A town of some sort is my guess--a settlement, at least. What those... vehicles are, what it all was for, I haven't a clue. What do you say?\"\n\n\"Well... we didn't see anything that stood out as a monument, or a temple... no town centre. It's hard to say, of course--who knows what kind of strange organisation they might've used. But, whether it's Buckingham Palace or a junkyard, I will say one thing... \" she tapped at my shoulder with an outstretched finger. \"This is fascinating, indescribable!\"\n\nI nodded. \"I've kind of given up on archaeology, as I said to you, but there's just something about this place. It's like I'm a junior in college all over again.\"\n\n\"It feels like the first time,\" Naomi said, and I thought about the Foreigner song that had come out the year I started college, when I was still throwing myself into anthropology like a fanatic. Had it been that long? I supposed so.\n\n\"It feels like the very first time,\" I countered, almost singing, with a laugh.\n\nShe didn't get the reference or didn't care. \"Well, I think you're right. Everything's new again. I think you're right, though, I... I remember the first site I was on. I grew up in the Northland, but it was actually a Columbian village, in the eastern Transnarrows. Mind you, I'm not very keen on North Columbian archaeology--no offence.\"\n\n\"None taken. I did all my work in the Middle East and Karelia. Oh, and just a little Mesocolumbian stuff--I don't know a thing about the Hadenosanee or the Wendat or...\" even those two names I pulled from my memory with difficulty, and I gave up--North Columbia lacks the charismatic civilisations of the Yucatan.\n\nShe understood. \"Well, neither did I. It was an old Wendat village, anyway, that the tribe had asked us to examine. The great thing about archaeology is how it makes you realise that you're not alone, you're part of something much larger--that was the first time I really realised that, looking at these hearths that had been abandoned four hundred years earlier. It's like that now, though.\"\n\n\"It's like that now,\" I agreed.\n\n\"What was your first time?\"\n\n\"Jarmo, it's a site out this way. I was a sophomore and I got accepted into a field school out of Gleneden. Fantastic site, excellent preservation in a little tell maybe half a mile outside of the city proper. Six weeks out in the summer heat, though--I swore I'd never come back. But then the summer after that I was at Babylon... then I promised* to never come back. Then I showed up here.\"\n\nShe grinned, then ran her fingers through the luxuriant fur of her neck and chest. \"You think you've got it bad? I don't understand how you people live south of the fiftieth parallel.\" She gave a rueful laugh. \"Crazy Yanks.\"\n\nAt this point there was the sound of drums. From a speaker somewhere a shouting man entreated us to \"come on, feel the noise.\" Naomi's ears twitched and I gave her a look of pity. \"Not a fan of heavy metal?\"\n\nShe made a face. \"I was raised on classical music. This is neither classical--nor music.\"\n\nI laughed. \"I'm sorry. I don't care for it much either.\" The song stopped abruptly, then started again. \"Actually, I didn't even know we had a turntable. But... you'd think they could put it to better use.\"\n\nNaomi shrugged, looking towards the source of the noise--but not, evidently, feeling it. \"It's not a turntable, by the way. It's a 'compact disc' player.\"\n\n\"Oh,\" I said. \"I've never really had much experience with those.\"\n\n\"There's one in the department where I work. It's actually really interesting--they're much smaller than a record, you know. More fragile, I'd think. I don't know what they're made of... one of the chaps I work with, though, was telling me... so a record's got these little, you know, pits it reads.\" I nodded. \"Well they've got these on compact discs too, now... imagine you blow up one of these things to the size of Wembley stadium--how large do you suppose your little pit is?\"\n\nI shrugged. \"Bottle-cap.\"\n\nShe shook her head. \"Smaller.\"\n\n\"Fingernail.\" I raised my index finger to indicate my own--somewhat short, from biting, I admit.\n\n\"Smaller,\" she prodded.\n\n\"Ant.\"\n\nAnother shake. \"The size of a flea, maybe a little bit larger.\"\n\nI scoffed. \"That's absurd. You're lying to me.\"\n\nHer eyes widened. \"I would never do that! Now, this is technology for you. Don't be such a sore loser,\" she admonished.\n\nShe had, I suddenly discovered, been moving progressively closer to me, and when she cautioned me against being a sore loser my mind, I admit, was elsewhere. \"That's fascinating,\" I said.\n\n\"And did you know...\" she said, and proceeded to tell me a vast quantity of things that I did not, in fact, know. By the time she finally allowed that she had probably, at least, be retiring to the trailer she shared with Johansen it was quite dark outside. I nodded and bid her goodnight, followed her departure with my eyes, and thoughts. I whistled a swing tune happily to myself as I walked back to the trailer I was billeted in, almost dancing. Then I happened to steal a glance upwards at the heavens, stopped whistling, and hastened to the trailer with sudden purpose.\n\n\\\n\nMaybe five minutes later--I doubt it was even that--I knocked softly on the door of Naomi's trailer. It opened and her head poked out. \"Oh! Hello there!\"\n\n\"Hello,\" I said back, and beckoned her to come out. Presently she did, wearing a nightgown against the deepening chill of the Expanse's night.\n\n\"What's this now?\"\n\n\"I want to show you something. Close your eyes...\" she did, commenting that it was hard for me to show her something with her eyes shut--this was true--and allowed me to lead her up and to the far side of a shallow dune that was just enough to dampen the lights from the base camp. \"Careful now. All right...\" I positioned her gently. \"Now lay down... there's a blanket at your feet, so you won't get sand anywhere\"--not that it was possible to avoid this problem, of course, in the desert.\n\n\"What's going on?\" she asked again, as she first sat down, and then lay flat on her back.\n\n\"One second...\" I sat down next to her. \"Now... open your eyes.\"\n\nA gasp, and then stunned silence--precisely what I had been expecting, considering that this was--as I had hoped--her first glimpse of the night sky above Assuli. \"My good Lord...\" she breathed. \"Is it always like this?\"\n\n\"Not quite always, but mostly. Hell of a lot better than it is in Storelvsby--probably Britannia too, I'd guess.\"\n\n\"I've never seen anything like it, if that's what you mean.\" Her head moved in a wide circle, taking everything in. \"There's no light at all besides the stars... I bet if you gave me a pair of opera glasses I could follow a football match on Mars... my God in heaven...\"\n\n\"Well... Mars is a bit far...\"\n\nShe shook her head. \"It's close enough. Now what are you doing sitting up like that--you're blocking my view.\" I laughed quietly and obliged her by reclining. \"That's better.\" She turned her attention back to the heavens. \"They... they look like little jewels.\"\n\n\"Well they are,\" I pointed out. \"There, for instance...\" I pointed. \"Those are the seven stones of the necklace of King Atekadde's bride... he gave it to her upon their marriage as a sign of the covenant between their families, who had warred before that for hundreds of years. When she died, an old woman, he cast them up into the night sky so that no one else would ever wear them, and we would always have a sign of the everlasting peace between the clans.\" I was, all of a sudden, immensely grateful that the university had made me take a comparative mythologies course. \"And that there is the heart of the very first man, a great warrior and hero of his people. We were cast from stone, you see, and when he was at last defeated the god Parrakahina plucked his heart out and set it above us so we'd never forget we are forged from the ground and are destined for the stars.\"\n\nIt wasn't especially cold, and I doubted Naomi was bothered at all by the temperature, but she snuggled up against me nonetheless. \"I see.\"\n\n\"And... hmm. Not a jewel, but that's Seddhik, the faithful. She brings the rains and allows the crops to flourish. Over there is quiet little Tembel, her mate, the lazy one. He only shows up for a few weeks out of every year, and then goes back to sleep. And that--\" a flash across the sky interrupted me.\n\n\"Ooh...\" Naomi said--kind of a word, but not really. \"A shooting star! Did you make a wish, Richard?\"\n\n\"I did.\"\n\nShe lay her head half on my chest. \"You mustn't tell anyone, now, or else it won't come true.\"\n\n\"Then I assure you--no one will ever hear it.\"\n\nNow I can't say, precisely, that I was allowed to spend the rest of the night like that, talking with her, because* I hadn't revealed my wish. Maybe even if I had told her midnight would've found us in an embrace, her explaining a Celtic myth, me listening raptly. Maybe--but I figured, why tempt fate?\n\nDAY THREE\n\nWhen we all arrived on-site the second day we discovered that a great quantity of sand had been cleared from the canyon leading to the concrete structure itself, and sunlight streamed down upon us as we walked back into Nahar Kibeera. Johansen passed around photocopies of the site map she and Blackman had completed the night before. Naomi turned hers sideways, then upside down. \"Have you any thoughts of what this is?\"\n\n\"Actually... Marcus and I were thinking it almost looks like a military installation--something heavily regimented, at least.\"\n\n\"How do you figure?\" Jameson boomed.\n\nNaomi tilted her map so that he could see it. \"Well... I don't know what they were thinking, but you've got... barracks here, maybe a headquarters building of some sort there...\"\n\n\"Guard post over there, next to the gate we came through,\" Blackman offered.\n\n\"Right,\" Johansen said.\n\nI could see (feel? Something) Jameson's eyes move across us. \"All right, I'll take that. Good work, people.\"\n\n\"The problem,\" Marit proposed, \"is that we can't read any of this. I don't know whether this is related to any kind of ancient scripts--it's a pity we don't have a linguist with us.\"\n\n\"We'll make do with what we have,\" Jameson said. \"And a little bit of ingenuity. For instance... here, Dr. Johansen, take a look at our aircraft here...\" he indicated one of them, which we were standing perhaps fifty feet from, and led us over to it. \"There are symbols all up and down here.\"\n\n\"Yes,\" Johansen said. \"It's hard to say what they mean.\"\n\nHe shook his head. \"Not really. This one here says 'Warning,' and this one says 'Danger.' And... this one says 'Don't stand in front of this, you dumb fuck.'\"\n\nI saw Johansen's face catch suddenly. \"I... I doubt that, sir.\"\n\n\"You doubt it?\" There was never much emotion in the Colonel's voice, but I gathered that now he wished to appear as though he had been slighted.\n\n\"I do. At best that's probably rather... ah, simplistic, I'd say.\"\n\nThe dark man nodded. \"On the other hand, of course, you wouldn't want to dismiss all parallels as simplification, would you? Of course not--how else would you even begin to understand the past?\" He let that sink in, neither expecting nor receiving an answer. He finally began again. \"No matter, I'm just a simple warrior. Now that we've assessed the basic situation here, and ensured your security, we're stepping out. It's your job, now.\" He looked us over again. \"Mr. Cameron, why don't you take over? I'd like a report at the end of the day.\"\n\nI blinked as though stepping into sunlight. \"Me, sir?\"\n\n\"That's right. I'm putting my men at your disposal, in case you need them. Otherwise, we'll be back at the entrance overseeing the sand removal. Good day,\" he finished, brooking no disagreement, and left, taking the two soldiers who had accompanied us with him.\n\nMarcus stared at me, his head cocked. \"Right, then. So what's the plan--oberarchaeologist?\"\n\nI shrugged, defensive. \"I don't know. I don't know what the Colonel's up to, I mean, I have no clue why he...\"\n\nBlackman raised an eyebrow. \"Doubtless it's because of your extensive experience leading excavations. I hear there's some very important work coming out of PS 24.\"\n\n\"Come off it,\" Naomi said--a little too hastily.\n\n\"Oh what's your deal with the good professor?\" Now Blackman faced her. I happened to catch Clark's eye; an amused smile crossed his face and he winked at me before shrugging sympathetically.\n\n\"Marcus,\" I began, and was largely cut off by Kennard angrily asking what, specifically, in the hell was Blackman suggesting?\n\n\"I'm sure you can guess,\" he replied, almost sneering.\n\n\"Marcus!\" I shouted, which got both his attention and the collie's, before she could spring for his throat. \"Can we be calm?\" I tried to imagine how the Colonel would've handled the situation. \"Every moment we spend arguing is another moment that we're not getting any work done here. We don't have an eternity... I'd think we're going to have to make the best of what we've got. Including me, Dr. Blackman.\"\n\nHe looked at me warily before deflating. \"Right. I'm just... confused, is all. By why he would appoint you--when Johansen and I both have experience leading these kind of projects.\"\n\n\"Not as confused as I am,\" I confessed.\n\n\"To be fair,\" Johansen said--speaking for the first time since her almost-argument with the Colonel. \"Nobody really has any experience with this kind of project--myself included. He's really as qualified as anyone else.\" I tried to make sure I would remember to thank her for the vote of confidence. \"And he's right, at any rate. The longer we take here, the less we have elsewhere.\"\n\nA sigh from Blackman, and nothing at all from Naomi, who was still glaring at him. I decided to make do, as I'd proposed, with what I had. \"Ok, so who has any suggestions?\"\n\n\"Let's get a record of the site down,\" Blackman said. \"Do we have a darkroom?\"\n\nClark shook his head. \"No, that was one of the things I asked Jameson about yesterday.\"\n\n\"Polaroids, then,\" Blackman said. \"I have a couple of cameras and some film...\" Better than I--who just had a 35 millimetre. So that was a start. This I said aloud:\n\n\"That's a start. Fortunately it doesn't look like there's a lot of cover, so documenting context should be fairly easy. And it's a bit large, but I'd say the roads going through here give us a workable grid system.\"\n\n\"So let's split up. Two groups, say, a camera with each... canvas the site, inventory what's here. Get a handle on where we should head from there.\" As he finished he was reaching into his pack, and retrieved a pair of old Polaroid cameras, a few packs of film. \"With a group of two and one of three... let's start at opposite ends, lawnmowing pattern... we'll meet up in the middle?\" He was effectively usurping control from me, I gathered, although realistically I didn't mind--he was more experienced. It made him happy, too.\n\n\"Two groups of two,\" Clark said. \"Especially if you want to do a photosurvey and you've only got two cameras, I'd like to head back to camp and get back to my date. Dating,\" he corrected. \"It needs some oversight.\"\n\nThe surveying was tedious--made slightly less so by my partner, but tedious nonetheless. Structure by structure, metre by metre, we made our way through the Nahar Kibeera site, accumulating page after page of data, taking photographs until the camera's battery died. For being as boring as it was, the job was strangely fulfilling. I hadn't done anything of the sort for better than four years, had told myself throughout that I didn't mind this. I think I might've been lying.\n\n\\\n\nBlackman and Johansen evidently had more to do than we, so we met them quite a bit further than halfway. That was fine, of course; I was a bit dismayed, though, to find that it was already well into the evening and we were quickly losing the sunlight. There was nothing else that could be done; we walked back through the canyon--now nearly completely clear of loose sand--and met up with Jameson, who appeared to be poring over a map.\n\nAt our approach, he looked up. \"Ah! The intrepid crew returns. How does the work go?\"\n\n\"Fairly well, sir,\" I said. \"We've got the site surveyed and we'll compile that tonight... Johansen and I both discovered that you can get into the buildings--they're unlocked. I'd say we'll begin a door-to-door search tomorrow.\"\n\n\"Splendid. Why don't you all get to that, then, when we're back at camp.\" He seemed--for him--positively cheerful. I was too, if tired. But as we disembarked after the brief truck ride, the Colonel said perhaps the one thing that could kill my mood: \"Mr. Cameron, I'd like to talk to you. Mind taking a walk?\"\n\nI neither swore, nor sighed, nor let my shoulders droop--just said \"sure,\" and we set off.\n\n\"So how do you feel about the burden of command?\" he asked.\n\nI had to think about that for a few moments--partly because I wasn't sure, partly because I was thinking about how Jameson in the twilight was much, much worse than Jameson in the day--because at least then you knew where he was. \"It's not as bad as it could be. I've got... competent subordinates.\"\n\nHe... well, in my journal it's written \"laughed (?!!!?!),\" though to give him the benefit of the doubt that's what I'll say he was doing and won't qualify it. Depending on my mood, I may explain a little about the Colonel's 'laughter' later. \"Those are hard to come by. Trust me, I know.\"\n\n\"Now... sir, a question of my own...\"\n\n\"Of course.\" It was, strangely, a situation where he might almost have seemed fatherly, except the idea of Jameson being a father is enough to give me nightmares.\n\n\"Why me, sir?\"\n\nA sigh, perceived next to me. \"Well... you'd like the truth, I presume?\"\n\n\"If possible.\"\n\n\"Then it's cliché and not a little stupid, but you remind me a lot of myself at your age. I feel an affinity, you might say.\"\n\nI stopped dead for a second and almost tripped--neither sure then nor now of his sincerity. \"I... remind you of you, huh?\"\n\n\"You do. You're a cynical intellectual. You think you're smart, and you resent the way, as you see it, you've been condemned because of blind fortune, not your actual failings.\" He didn't bother to ask if he was right--he was, and I guess he knew that. \"I was that way too. Fresh out of college--oh yes, Mr. Cameron, I went to college.\"\n\n\"What did you study? Archaeology?\" I guessed.\n\n\"No. Molecular biology, actually.\" Although I couldn't see him, he found some way to make out the expression on my face. \"You should understand it was fairly soon after Watson and Crick--everyone was thinking genetics was the way of the future, so I was going to be a scientist. Unfortunately for that aspiration, Lyndon Johnson had other plans.\"\n\n\"I'm sorry to hear that.\"\n\n\"Don't be! The military provides a wonderful experience. That war was easily the best seven years of my life. I had a lot of fun.\" Because of the way he spoke, it was difficult to tell whether or not he was being sarcastic--though, given who he was, I rather suspected he was not. It made me wonder what kind of circumstances would produce a fellow like the Colonel. Rather boldly, I asked:\n\n\"Best years of your life? I hope you don't my saying that that sounds... rather bizarre.\"\n\n\"I do* mind your saying that, Mr. Cameron! I do. Fortunately, there is nothing I can do about it. What else is there, though, to life? I had a very interesting childhood.\"\n\n\"Sir, you just described the New Italian Campaign as the best years of your life. I'll grant that I had hippie parents, but I spent my entire childhood dreading Indochina. What...\" I shook my head and Jameson came to an abrupt halt.\n\n\"Stop.\" I did. Stars dropped out of sight as Jameson's shadow moved--he was raising his muzzle to the skies, looking at something. Then the stars reappeared and I felt eyes on me. \"Mr. Cameron, let me tell you something. A story! I do like a story. Won't you sit, Mr. Cameron?\" Somewhat awkwardly, I did, crossing my legs one over the other. The silhouette sat silently down opposite me. \"You're wondering--because you're curious, not just because you can see how it might affect you... you are wondering what on earth--or Hell--could produce a man such as I--are ye not?\" (I swear to God he said \"ye.\")\n\n\"Well...\"\n\n\"Good enough!\" With more animation than I'd ever seen before in his voice--not emotion, just movement--he began with a flourish. \"I came from a large family, I'd say--I had four sisters and a brother, you see. My mother was a policeman, as was my father, and they had a very martial order of things. It's important to imbue children with discipline, which is what they did. Now: my father is a very black man, Mr. Cameron. You don't think it's possible of course but he makes me look like a neon sign all aglow. My other siblings were more... normally coloured. Brown and grey and tan and so on. And so forth. So I had that special favour, but! My brother Michael was my father's right-hand man. He turned to him for every decision--consulted him for every plan. They were as one.\n\n\"In his junior year of high school, when I was still but twelve, he fell into a crowd of men the likes of whom did not agree very well with the hierarchy of the Jameson home life. He began to hang out with strange crowds, and to talk back at home, and to listen to very loud music and stay out late at night. What do you think of all this, Mr. Cameron?\"\n\n\"It sounds like... normal teenage growth, sir. Typical rebellion.\" I had read Margaret Mead and felt rather assured of this--Jameson disagreed.\n\n\"Wrong! It was a breakdown at the most grave level! Now... one day my father happened to spy him on a seedy corner dealing from the pockets of his jacket a street substance, taking in return to those self-same pockets money of the deepest green. Drug dealing, in short, Mr. Cameron. A most abominable sin. The next day was a Saturday and my father called us all out back to the yard. He had us stand in our line and then he split my brother away and asked him to his face if he had been doing this horrible thing, to which my brother lied and said that he had not.\n\n\"Then my father drew his sidearm, levelled it at my brother's head and asked again--receiving this time the truth, and grinning fearfully as he told my brother that honesty fitted him well. Then quoth the father, \"hath ye made thy peace with God, my son?\" To which my brother began to plead most pityingly for his life assuring my father that he had reformed and all these things and my father now fairly bellowed the question. So my brother said that no, he had not--whereupon my father said in a roar that he had expected more of the boy--and pulled the trigger.\"\n\nI waited here for the denouement, the recognition that this had been an elaborate bluff of some kind. No, for Jameson's next words were: \"there was nothing but silence in the great world as my brother fell dead on the ground, enriching it then with what passed for the brains in his skull. Nothing but silence--dead quiet. Not even any birds, Mr. Cameron. Then suddenly the second youngest, who was seven then and whose name was Caroline... she began to cry. We all--myself too--thought that she was next, and my father slowly swung about to face her... then he turned the safety back on, holstered the gun, and hugged the little girl tightly until her tears ceased. And my oldest sister became the new second in command.\"\n\nI could do almost nothing but sit, stunned. \"What. What. What did you do?\"\n\n\"Oh well that is an interesting story,\" Jameson said, as though what he had just related was not. \"That evening my father gathered us into the living room all in a row and said that we must understand what had happened--that he was now retiring to the upstairs and that it was all our decision. The phone was right there waiting for the police to be dialled. This terrible burden lay upon our shoulders as we heard him tread up the flight, leaving us in parting this: that he would be roused only by the word of Christina, my sister, or by sirens, and then the door closed. Christina looked at me, and I at her... then we gathered the shovels and dug the burial pit for my poor, foolish sibling.\"\n\n\"That's horrible,\" I managed. \"I can't believe you'd be forced to--\"\n\n\"--We were forced by no man, Mr. Cameron. The choice was ours--I hold to it. If one lets discipline fall by the wayside, it's but a short march to barbarism. We were well-served by our father--I hope one day to have a family as understanding as were we.\"\n\nI shivered--against the cold, no doubt. \"Have you ever read anything by a man named Joseph Conrad, sir?\"\n\n\"Who?\"\n\n\"Ah, an author. Never mind. I was just thinking about something.\" Mostly, I was attempting to figure out how sane Jameson actually was--whereas before I had considered him odd and frightening, I looked to have to face him being quite mad as well.\n\n\"Of course. Well, Mr. Cameron, sit upon my words and think, then. Every bit of the story I told you was true, including my commentary on discipline. Don't shoot Dr. Blackman, now...\" he chuckled conspiratorially at this. \"But watch out. And keep up the good work.\"\n\nThen he stood and left, leaving me alone--and, for all that, not really wanting to move.\n\n\\\n\nComing back to the site was a fairly sizable shock; I was still trying to figure out what to make of the Colonel when Naomi bounced up, gave me a hug, and asked jokingly how my conversation with Jameson had gone. I could only shake my head, but that evidently was satisfactory.\n\nThere was something else she cared more about: \"Peter says he has preliminary dates on the skeleton.\"\n\n\"Yeah?\"\n\n\"He says seven thousand years, plus or minus a few hundred...\"\n\nI nodded. \"That's a couple hundred years later than the Karelia dates, but within the margins. Interesting.\"\n\nWe had made our way back to the mess by this time, which was--as custom, evidently--deserted. We sat down and the collie laid her head upon my shoulder. \"You don't sound very excited.\"\n\nI had to think about that a bit. I guess I didn't--the day, for one, had left me drained; secondly, I was beginning to have doubts about the whole deal. \"What's the context like? There isn't any, and... Christ, how much of what we found inside is datable? Nothing.\"\n\n\"That's true,\" she agreed. \"For the moment. Still, you've got to admit this... confirms everything that Deckard ever said. It'll be completely revolutionary.\"\n\nI coughed. \"No, no, no. I staked pretty much everything once, Naomi--on something I couldn't prove definitively. I thought I could, of course. My mistake. When this gets published, they'll eat us alive. Not the least* of which because it sounds exactly like something Ron would've latched on to!\"\n\n\"Richard...\"\n\n\"No. I mean... what have we got here? Some stuff we can't explain and we can't date, and some kind of deformed skeletal freak-show. That's it. We've got nothing. I signed onto this, and I'm going to get shut down again.\" My voice was rising in intensity. \"We have to be very careful about this. You... you have to keep that degree of scepticism.\"\n\n\"Richard.\" This time she was more firm. Naomi sighed and turned to look me in the eyes. \"I understand that you're coming from a different position than the rest of us--that's very understandable, of course. But... you can't let your fears about what's going to happen get in the way of objectivity... and that's what you're letting happen. I had a professor once, Dr. Frank Henriksen, when I was studying here. Hell of a man, and he told me once when I was just... questioning everything he said about the site we were working on... he said, \"Kennard, scepticism has to be used like a flashlight--for illumination, not for keeping what you don't want to see hidden.\" Richard, there are great things in that site. There are great things, believe it or not, in you too. Scepticism or not.\"\n\nI sighed too, now, and finally let myself give up. \"Maybe.\" I swallowed. \"Thank you,\" I said, and hugged her tightly. She didn't say anything, but I could feel her smile.\n\nDAY FOUR\n\nJameson held us up outside the main entrance with a hand outstretched. \"My children. I have news for you.\" Murmurs ran through the group and then Jameson smiled, bright white cutting across the jet of his mouth in an alien, unnatural way. \"This site is now being run as a military operation. Under orders from General McPherson, no less. We are going to analyse objects of potential military utility first and foremost before we get around to cataloguing crucifixes and ploughs and soccer balls and whatever else you find.\" A moment of silence, during which Johansen's words echoed over and over in my head.\n\n\"Sir,\" I pointed out. \"We know so little about this that it's going to be very difficult to try to determine what is of 'military utility.'\"\n\n\"You will try, Mr. Cameron. I have great faith in your ability to succeed.\"\n\n\"Thanks,\" I said, not entirely meaning this.\n\nHe laughed--this was not a sound that put one at ease, far from it, and I don't know why he insisted on using it as though it did. \"Now that we have that resolved, one more note. You all have a fair degree of autonomy--Mr. Cameron has suggested that we should begin entering structures today, and that is then what ye shall do, but... beyond this, I want every action you take run by either myself or Captain Ellis first. Is that clear? Good, I believed it would be. Have fun, boys and girls.\"\n\n\\\n\nThe first building we stepped into was neatly-arranged, with things stacked here and there and all about, and not a one was identifiable as anything in particular. We had chosen it at random, a small building perhaps fifteen feet on a side, and now Naomi and I stood facing each other, and I shrugged. She looked at a pile of square plates and picked one up. \"This is a ceremonial object,\" she said solemnly. I laughed--there is an old joke in archaeology that if you find something you can't identify, it was something of religious significance.\n\nA stack of cylinders lay on the floor and I nodded at them. \"So are these...\" I pronounced, mystically.\n\n\"And this,\" Naomi said, pointing to something that was about the size and shape of a loaf of bread. \"We're standing in a temple, you know.\"\n\n\"A temple of military utility?\"\n\nShe giggled and set the square plate back down. \"No doubt. What the hell do we do with this, Richard? We've got, what, a week?\"\n\n\"I have great faith in our ability to succeed,\" I said, and picked up a cylinder. There was something etched into it--writing, probably, that I stared at as though I would presently be able to understand what was inscribed therein. And failed to be able to do so.\n\nThe next three buildings we tried yielded entirely the same results--more religious artefacts and more temples, which lead Naomi to begin referring to the site as 'Vatican City.' For all the joking, though, this was a serious and ever-present problem. Imagine if someone ten thousand years from now were to enter your house--what can you name whose function would be immediately obvious? A vacuum cleaner? A throw rug? Mirrors could be symbolic portals to some other world; knives either implements of cooking or war. Jameson was writing in one of his binders when we approached him.\n\n\"Sir,\" I said, and he closed what we was working on to look at me. \"We've got a bit of a problem here. There's no way at all to know what's useful or what's not, here, I mean... nearly every building has a long... pole thing... propped up against the wall. What's that about? We don't know. Is it a weapon? A tool?\" I shrugged, exasperated.\n\n\"You can at least do your best,\" Jameson suggested. \"Surely some things must suggest themselves as being important.\"\n\n\"Everything's important equally,\" Kennard said. \"We can't tell the difference between any objects that are functionally differently here, so they might as well be the same. And even so... of course in an archaeological sense everything is important here, too.\"\n\n\"The archaeological sense, as you put it, doesn't apply here.\" He looked back down at his binder.\n\n\"I beg to differ. Not to harp on a point, but this has the potential to be by far the most significant site in our history. Even if you are looking for something practical, you can't dismiss the archaeological relevance.\"\n\nHe peered up at her and set his muzzle on folded hands. \"Dr. Kennard. While I respect your opinion, of course, you seem to be missing something. This site, and everything that happens here, is being overseen and funded by the Defence Division. I understand that you consider this of archaeological importance, but James Smithson didn't fly you halfway around the world here, and National Geographic isn't paying for your food and your equipment. This is a military site, with a military goal. Unfortunately, any archaeological benefit at this point is ancillary.\"\n\n\"Good God, you've got to be kidding me.\" She seemed to rethink her rashness and backed away a bit. \"I mean--sir--I understand what you're saying, but why in the hell would ask for archaeologists when a team of military engineers could have stripped down to parts in no time, flat?\"\n\nHe shrugged. \"I don't make the decisions, Dr. Kennard. I chose you--all of you--because I am aware of your work and hold it in high regard. I don't mean to make you slaves to a military-archaeological complex, of course, but you are not living in a vacuum. Science doesn't live apart from the real world--do either of you read the newspapers, by the way?\"\n\n\"I do,\" I said, and Naomi made some gesture or other next to me that he took similarly.\n\n\"Last week I was back in the Union, in my office, preparing to come out here, and someone tossed a story on my desk. The gist of the article is that the politburo, the Gaarderrike Soviet, is becoming unstable, and looking to the outside to rectify the internal problems of the People's Republic. Do you know what that means? They have a larger army than all of the rest of the continent added together. Who's going to stop them? The Karelians?\"\n\n\"I'm not sure I see the relevance,\" the collie said quietly.\n\n\"Then you're a fool. The evidence is all out there, Dr. Kennard. The world is going to hell in a very large hand-basket if it doesn't tear itself apart first. An old sergeant of mine once said, \"we are the keepers of the light; we are the guardians of freedom; we do not sleep.\" I* do not sleep. When it comes to it, you two, iron--cold iron--is master of it all. I will not be headed off at the pass by the Communists. I don't know Russian, Kennard, and I don't intend to learn.\" He set the binder down, hard, and stared at us. \"We are on a precipice of fate, my friends, the eve of destruction. I am the catcher in the rye. That is my agenda. I know how important this site is to you scientists, but it's more important to me. If either of you have a problem with that, I can charter you a plane right the hell out of this desert by nightfall. Just say the word.\"\n\nSilence. \"We'll do what we can, sir,\" I said, finally.\n\nHe grinned and I almost had to shut my eyes. \"I knew you would.\"\n\n\\\n\nThe day's big development came that afternoon. We were to meet at four--\"sixteen hundred\"--at the main gate, and when we did Johansen was practically glowing. Next to her was the engineer, who looked rather pleased with himself. I would almost have worried, were the two of them not so happy with whatever had happened.\n\n\"Reports?\" Jameson said, and there was very little at all from myself and Kennard, or Clark and Blackman.\n\n\"We think we've finally identified something,\" said Johansen, and deferred to the burly fellow standing beside her.\n\n\"I believe we have found the power centre of this site. Looking at it, it's rather complex, but... there are some essential similarities. I think I can find a way to reactive some of the old grid.\"\n\nCaptain Ellis's head canted so quickly I was afraid his neck was going to break. \"Jesus Christ, Lieutenant, you've got to be kidding us. This place is what, seven thousand years old?\"\n\n\"What's the likelihood you'd be able to succeed?\" asked Jameson.\n\nPrimachenko grinned. \"I did a preliminary test on one of the buildings. I don't have enough voltage in my gear here to start this up, but the circuits at least are... they seem to be still intact. I'd give it better than even odds.\"\n\nJameson glanced at Ellis. \"Now this* is what we're looking for.\" The Captain nodded.\n\n\"Well... to be fair,\" Johansen offered, \"and not to just be a wet blanket, but I don't know that this is such a wise course of action. I agree that it's possible, but God only knows what you're going to wind up turning on.\"\n\nNaomi nodded. \"We ought to do what we can to leave this site fairly undisturbed.\"\n\n\"Your concerns are noted,\" Ellis said. \"But I don't think we ought to pass up this opportunity.\"\n\n\"I don't either,\" the Colonel agreed, and looked at me expectantly.\n\nAttempting to steer away from scepticism, I spoke. \"It's not just disturbing the context of the site. I agree that it's exciting, but it could also be very dangerous. What if you wind up creating shorts somewhere you can't even see that start fires, or... hell, this place might have some kind of defence system that's been dormant for seven millennia. Wind up killing us all.\"\n\n\"Reasonable point. Can you guarantee that won't happen, Lieutenant?\"\n\nPrimachenko's enthusiasm wasn't dampened much. \"I can't guarantee it, Colonel, but I think I can make it pretty unlikely.\"\n\n\"Good enough. Take what you need and get to work. Report back to me periodically, so that we know how things are going.\" Primachenko saluted and sprinted back towards camp. \"The rest of you, back to work, I'd think. We've got plenty of daylight left.\" Except for me, whom of course he wished to discuss something with, everyone dispersed.\n\n\"Sir,\" I said, before he could even ask my opinion. \"This is what we might call rather rash, don't you think?\"\n\n\"It's a Jameson hallmark,\" he confirmed. \"The road to where I am today has been paved with risk-taking.\"\n\nI threw my hands up. \"But you're not just talking about any old risk, sir. These people had nuclear-powered aircraft of some kind and you want to just pump a couple zillion volts into a power system that's been unused for seven thousand years. For all you know, it was abandoned because the power system was unstable!\"\n\n\"I rather doubt that, don't you?\"\n\nSighing, I agreed that it was unlikely. \"But it definitely begs the question of why exactly you'd do that. Are you trying to prove something, or are you just insane, I mean...\"\n\n\"Insane?\" I started to backpedal, but he would have none of it. \"Insane! Are you an idiot, Cameron, or just a good actor? I told you about my childhood; now, I think it was a good one but I can certainly see how that might've done something to a young lad. I served seven years in New Italy and lost more men under me than I can count; came back to find out it was all for nothing. Then the only woman I've ever loved died in my arms. Figuratively. Mostly.\"\n\n\"Figuratively, sir? Mostly?\"\n\nHe shrugged. \"Well, not in my arms. Close to them. Automobile accident, you see. A hit, actually, if you can believe that; I have enemies in high places. The worst part of it, of course, was that she regained consciousness for a few minutes and was fairly self-aware--that's a rarity in the case of trauma like that, I learned very well in Indochina. Mixed blessing.\"\n\nI closed the jaw that had fallen open and tried to decide whether he was telling the truth. I don't believe Jameson is the sort to lie, though. \"I'm sorry, sir.\"\n\nHe looked at me peculiarly. \"Don't be. It was an important experience; everyone should have it happen to them at least once. Builds character. Of course...\" It seemed to me that he caught his breath then and almost seemed--for a fleeting moment--human. \"I tend to think that once was more than enough for me. As to your question, yes, I'd say that could drive a man a little mad. At least, I'm completely off my rocker, you know. But I like to think that I have it where it counts--here.\"\n\nI smiled disarmingly, unnerved. \"I think, more and more, we should start calling you 'Kurtz,'\" I said, trying to lighten the mood.\n\nThe reference flew over his head, but he shrugged. \"If you see fit, Mr. Cameron. For the time being, though: yes I'm crazy, yes I'm dangerous, but I'm also in control, and that's the most important thing.\"\n\n\\\n\n\"He's a lunatic,\" I said to Naomi that evening as we sat on the steps of a trailer. \"I don't even know what to make of him.\" I set my head on my hands and she patted me on the shoulder.\n\n\"Neither does anyone else, I assure you.\"\n\nI looked up. \"The man is decidedly off-balance, but... stable, is the thing, I think. And brilliant--God, you should listen to him sometime.\"\n\nShe nodded, laughing. \"I would--if I ever got the chance. You monopolise him.\"\n\n\"Not by choice.\"\n\n\"Even so. I can't get a word in edgewise, what with you both chatting it up like a sewing circle. Why, just yesterday I wanted to have a word with him--\"\n\n\"--No you didn't. You're lying again.\"\n\nTaking umbrage, the collie stared at me severely. \"Are you contesting my victimisation?\"\n\n\"Yeah, damn straight I am. You want to do something about it? Make my day.\"\n\nShe put her hands on her hips. \"Well,\" she huffed. \"Then I think I shall have to... to... ah, all right, you've called my bluff.\" Naomi sighed, and then sank into me so abruptly she nearly knocked me over. \"I hope you're happy. Punk.\"\n\n\"More than you can possibly imagine.\"\n\n\"Mm.\" She lifted herself away for a second. \"What do you think about the site, now?\"\n\nI grinned. \"It's developing nicely.\"\n\n\"Context? Dating?\" She gave me a wry smile.\n\n\"Screw it.\"\n\n\"That's the spirit.\" She kissed me lightly. \"We'll make a Howard Carter out of you in no time.\"\n\nThe hell of it was that Naomi had a way of making me not care very much about the context of the site or the insanity of its director. We set Howard Carter and James Jameson and everything else aside and spent another night amongst the stars instead. This features rather heavily in my thoughts, so perhaps it might be best to accord it a few lines.\n\n\\\n\nAs intriguing as the stars were--very much so, of course--Naomi proved herself highly successful at distracting me from them, and after perhaps thirty minutes we were both looking at each other rather than up. We talked, then, about things more related to ourselves than the heavens, although the relevant chain of events was set up when she, in the process of finishing a story about her university years, happened to notice that I was shivering and asked if something was wrong.\n\n\"Not especially,\" I said. \"I'm cold, is all.\"\n\n\"Mm,\" she returned. Then nothing at all else was said and I presumed the matter dropped until, in one fluid motion, she threw an arm over me in such a way that her nightgown now covered the both of us. A combination of the newfound insulation, residual body warmth--for she was very warm--and the fact that she now pressed herself to me with redoubled vigour handily solved the problem of my own temperature. \"Better?\"\n\n\"Much,\" I said. Naomi pressed her muzzle into my chest and began to return to her story, although she didn't get more than a few words before something caught my attention. \"You, ah... you're not wearing any clothes besides the, uh, the...\"\n\nShe looked up at me, head cocked, and then licked my nose. \"I am not. Is this a problem?\"\n\n\"Er... no,\" I stammered. \"Not a bit.\"\n\nThat got a nod. \"Oh good. You have still retained yours, after all. It's not as improper as all that.\"\n\n\"True enough.\"\n\n\"Not...\" she seemed to think about this, although in retrospect she probably had done all her thinking some time previously. \"Not, I think, that the gods would mind all that much if it were to become so. Improper, that is.\"\n\n\"Now just what are you suggesting?\"\n\nHer teeth caught glints of the little light we had available to us as she grinned. \"As much a fan as we seem to be of them, there is so much to be said for not wearing clothes.\" My own attire was a simple button-down shirt and nothing underneath; given our location, it was already half-unbuttoned, and Naomi played idly with the fur on my chest through this opening.\n\n\"Be that as it may,\" I said, attempting to mount a counterattack. \"Uh... the, ah, we like clothes because the desert tends to get rather cold at night and, ah--\"\n\nShe abandoned my chest and kissed me briefly, cutting this protest off. \"Surely in all of our resourcefulness we can find a way around this problem,\" she offered, nearly purring. Her eyes were locked on mine, although in some distant universe I felt the remaining buttons of my shirt unfastening.\n\nI did not object; that would have been folly. Not only was I entirely unopposed to what now seemed to be happening, I suspected further attempts to forestall it would not really make any difference to the collie, who could evidently be rather headstrong and did not appear to hold my objections in particularly high regard. As though what she was doing was really only a side point, she returned to telling me about college and spoke much more clearly about this than I was capable of, under the circumstances I was being subjected to.\n\nPresently, she stopped whatever tale she had been spinning and switched gears. \"Aha, you see what I mean about the clothes? Are you cold, Richard?\"\n\nIt was at this point that I noticed that, in the course of her storytelling, I had lost all of the garments I had begun the evening with. This caught me off guard, but I gamely answered her question. \"A little, yes. I seem to be rather nude, though.\"\n\n\"That might explain it.\" Naomi pressed herself against me tightly enough that I almost thought I could feel her heartbeat. \"The question being, then, 'what do we do now?'\"\n\n\"Um. I'm not sure.\" My breathing was growing unsteady, which I think to some degree vindicated her.\n\n\"Your indecisiveness,\" she said, \"will be the death of you.\"\n\n\"It will?\"\n\n\"It will certainly be something.\" Having said this, she then levered herself to a position above me, propped up on her elbows. \"I would give you a choice in what, but you don't seem very keen on making those.\" Then she grinned again and kissed me. This, in contrast to our previous ones, lasted no small time; we explored each other leisurely through this embrace, and when it ended we were both out of breath.\n\n\"How,\" I panted. \"How far do you, ah, want to take this?\"\n\nShe shrugged, in doing so losing her balance and crushing herself against me. I believe this was unintentional, but it brought her muzzle up against my ear. \"I had not,\" she whispered, \"planned an end point.\"\n\nI swallowed. \"Are you, ah, are you worried about, uh, about getting...\"\n\n\"Pregnant? No, I'm on the pill, there. Hideous diseases, maybe. We may have to trust each other.\" She was back on her elbows again; our eyes--she had, I was suddenly aware, lovely eyes--saying perhaps more than our voices ever could. \"If you do, that is. Trust me.\"\n\nThis time it was I who kissed her, in answer. I played with her red, flowing hair as our tongues met; and as this happened I perceived her shifting her position atop me. It did not take her long at all to find where she wanted to be--where, actually, I wanted to be as well, and as I felt myself touch her I shivered, breaking our kiss. She took the opportunity to speak, cautioning me to be quiet--and then it happened.\n\nNaomi shuddered a bit too, now, although there was no great resistance to the act. She lowered herself against me until there was nowhere further to go; this being done we rested for a second or a million, before--with reluctance, I divined--she pulled herself away.\n\nIt was she who set the pace of our lovemaking, slow, almost dreamy; more sensuous than I might have expected, given the fervour with which she threw herself into the setting up of the whole event. She kept to her word about being quiet, with some difficulty--as did I, but there was no mistaking the timbre of our breathing.\n\nShe managed to match parry for thrust for some time, although being somewhat lost in the moment I can't say how long this was. It was rather too soon, however, that her movements began to weaken; her breaths came harder, and at shorter intervals. And I, as well, could maintain my own actions--half-restrained plunges of increasing desperation--only with intense concentration.\n\nOf a sudden, she collapsed atop me with a yelp that was only partly muffled, and that because the latter part ended up somewhere in my neck. I had nowhere left to go, nor any capacity for restraint and, with the same cascading inevitability of the Niagara cataract, I gave myself up to her in a maelstrom of emotion.\n\nThere was dead silence--even our rapid breathing now faded to background noise. Perfect still dropped upon us like the curtains at the end of some fantastic opera, before the wild applause, when the audience is still attempting to grasp what they have been allowed to experience. Naomi's paw errantly caressed my cheek, and then, in a reverential whisper, she said this: \"I love you.\"\n\nIt was wonderfully unnecessary, but I felt buoyed by it, and more so when I was allowed to return the phrase; and beneath the words lurked an ocean of feeling--shared as one by two people, then and forever.\n\nDAY FIVE\n\nIn four days I had: boldly re-entered the field I had consciously left, and with a bang, befriended (apparently) a madman, met in person the woman I'd admired since high school, been given control of the most revolutionary archaeological site in modern times, and fallen head over heels in love with someone whom I could no longer take a breath without thinking about. It served to reason, therefore, that Day Five (\"thumb day,\" Naomi called it, since she counted it there), would be the most interesting yet.\n\nOf course I could not have foreseen this.\n\nNaomi and I had been working in a building that was otherwise nondescript when we came across a stack of hermetically-sealed cases. Entirely by accident she managed to find the levers that opened it, and gasped in shock. I looked at the contents and blinked in surprise.\n\n\"This is a gun,\" Naomi said.\n\nIt was. My breathing grew inexplicably rapid. \"Well... it could be...\"\n\n\"No, no,\" she shook her head. \"No, it is.\"\n\n\"Suppose that's an object of military utility?\"\n\nShe looked at me, and then back to the stack of cases. \"Hell. We're in a bloody armoury. Your friend Kurtz is going to go through the roof. Look at this, it's still wrapped in whatever this... plastic stuff is.\" She snapped the lid closed as though that was likely to make the offending object disappear.\n\n\"We have to report this,\" I said. When in doubt, said a law school friend of mine once, state the obvious.\n\n\"I know, I know. I wouldn't do anything else--I don't even think that's a bad thing. But I wish I knew what the Colonel was going to make of it.\"\n\nSo did I. She gently took the case and we left the building like it was cursed\n\n\\\n\nFinding something that could be adapted to the purpose of killing was not out of the question, of course--despite the unfamiliarity of the technology. That it had arrived in such blatant form was unsettling, to say the least; and I, like Naomi, had no idea what was going to be done with it.\n\nWe approached the Colonel with some trepidation only to discover that he was already engaged with the engineer, and the remainder of the team had gathered around him. He nodded to us as we approached. \"Glad you could make it. Lieutenant Primachenko here is evidently going to have something of a demonstration.\"\n\nA generator had been wheeled in from the outside, and now the Lieutenant turned it on; over its purring he explained what he had done, at length--a great deal of technical information I didn't understand at the time and had no way of recording. Presently, though, he finished, and took a pair of wires up from the ground, looking up at Jameson. The Colonel dipped his head and touched two fingers to his temple. Primachenko said a quick prayer, then connected the leads.\n\nNothing happened--we are talking about something that had lain dead through the lives of all our great civilisations. This was no surprise, then; he shrugged apologetically and we all let out the embarrassingly-hopeful breaths we had drawn, and were joking a little about the experiment when our quarter of the complex suddenly turned as bright as noon on the outside.\n\nThe light had no apparent source--that is, there was no bulb or tube or sun that could be perceived. We were all simply standing in light that had not existed before. Nobody spoke, though we frantically looked at each other, trying to find what had happened, until suddenly something clicked. I found myself staring at Primachenko at the same time as everyone else--and he as bewildered as any. The soldier turned the humming generator off, and the light died.\n\n\"Son of a bitch.\" He looked at the generator, then around at us. \"Son of a bitch!\" He grinned broadly.\n\n\"It's no 'one small step,' but it'll do,\" Clark said. \"Amazing. What do you suppose they used?\"\n\n\"Son of a bitch!\" Primachenko scratched his head. \"I don't know, I don't know... did we do that?\"\n\n\"Turn the generator back on.\"\n\nHe saluted the Colonel. \"Yes, sir.\" With a comforting rumble, the light returned. Primachenko made an encompassing gesture that pointed out the glow that suffused our area. \"We did do that. Ten thousand years these things have been turned off--we have the switch!\"\n\n\"Seven thousand,\" Jameson corrected. \"But I'd say that's still good for a prize. Excellent work, Lieutenant. I'd like you to see what else you can do.\" He looked at the rest of us. \"Now, I'm a pretty good mood; how's the rest of the work coming?\"\n\n\"Slow,\" Blackman said. \"And we'd have to work pretty hard to beat this.\" He nodded to the ceiling.\n\n\"You would.\"\n\n\"I'd like you to take a look at this,\" Kennard said softly, and set the crate on top of the generator, flipping it open.\n\nI could hear Jameson draw sudden breath. \"And this might just do it. Where'd you find this?\" I indicated the building we'd been working in. \"What are your thoughts, Dr. Kennard, Mr. Cameron?\"\n\nWe looked at each other. \"I'd say it looks like a weapon, sir,\" Naomi said. \"And fairly conventional, at that.\"\n\n\"I'd agree with her, sir. I told you we can't always tell what's of utility and what's not, but... we could just be forcing our biases on that thing, but...\"\n\n\"It's got a trigger,\" Jameson said, interrupting me.\n\n\"Yes, sir,\" I admitted.\n\nIt was poor fortune that we had discovered the armoury when we had, because now Jameson looked at Kennard and I, and lifted the thing out of its package. \"What do you suppose the odds are,\" he asked, gesturing towards the generator, \"that it still works?\"\n\n\"Possibly fairly good, sir, but... it's really not... for us...\" I trailed off as it became clear that he was examining it much more closely than I'd hoped he might--and with the attitude of a soldier and* a genius. It was a bad combination.\n\n\"It doesn't have a magazine,\" he decided. \"No place to put one. You think it's one of those laser guns, Cameron?\" I shrugged, hopelessly, and he grinned. \"Got a place here where it looks like something might go... Primachenko, what do the connexions look like for the circuits you've been working with?\"\n\nThe lieutenant leaned over the weapon--I was done pretending it was anything else, at least. \"Like those, sir. I don't know what they might've used for power, but something like a battery would go there when it was being used...\" he anticipated the follow-up. \"I think I can probably adapt the generator, if you give me a few moments.\" Before I--or anyone--could say anything, the Colonel had removed the wrapping from the weapon and handed it to Primachenko.\n\nBy then it was too late, but we--Johansen, Kennard, and I--tried anyway. And were, of course, summarily ignored--though everyone saw this coming. Jameson was convinced that the device could be reactivated, and further that it posed no risk--\"no more than any other,\" as he put it, \"and I've plenty of experience.\" We had expended all our arguments against the Jameson Wall when Primachenko handed him back the thing, connected now through a heavy box to the generator.\n\n\"Kurtz,\" I said. \"Don't do this, sir.\"\n\nJameson shrugged at me. \"We must all live a little, Mr. Cameron, lest our lives be unspeakably bland.\" Then, pointing towards the cavern wall, he pulled what was evidently the trigger. \"And nothing happens anyway.\"\n\n\"That might not be a bad thing, sir. For all you know this fires... nuclear-tipped death missiles or something.\" He was fiddling with something on the device. \"These people were much more advanced than we are, sir, you have no way to know what you're doing...\"\n\nHe pulled the trigger again. I thought the light above us grew dimmer for an instant, and now loose debris was slipping down the side of the cavern, leaving behind a sizeable nick in the rock wall. Jameson looked at us, at me, oblivious to my horror, and nodded softly. \"Just because you get more advanced,\" he said, \"doesn't mean you lose sight of the old ways.\"\n\nWhen he pulled the trigger again, the generator sparked and everything went dead, but it had been--he told me afterwards--a \"highly successful test.\"\n\n\\\n\nWe were back to work in \"the armoury,\" then, cataloguing. Something hung in the air oppressively.\n\n\"What have we unleashed?\" Naomi finally asked.\n\n\"Inevitability,\" I said. \"There was nothing we could do.\"\n\nShe grabbed a crate and thumped it down, hard, symbolically. \"You know our discovery will be used to kill people, right? Here we are in the middle of the greatest site since Olduvai Gorge, finding new ways to visit destruction on people we've never met.\" The collie was on the verge of tears, I perceived, and I put an arm around her. For a moment I thought she would push me away, but then we collapsed on each other. \"I hate him,\" she said, shakily.\n\n\"That's understandable.\"\n\n\"God damn it.\" She bit down on her thumb. \"God damn it, Richard, I didn't ask for this. How the hell do you tell when some... suited gorilla asks you to come out here, where're they saying 'oh yes, and we want your help killing people'?\"\n\n\"This is the curse of science,\" I said, softly. \"And discovery. We do what we can, is all...\"\n\n\"What does that mean? They're going to take all this, and they're going to test it, and then they're going to deploy it, and then every time I turn on the radio to catch the evening news I'm going to be reminded how I help to slaughter some faceless enemy in some nameless war for some meaningless reason and... what are we going to do about that?\"\n\n\"Not be able to live with ourselves,\" I said. \"Probably. You couldn't have foreseen this.\"\n\n\"I couldn't have. It's people like your Kurtz out there that remind me why the newspaper keeps track of the doomsday clock.\" She blinked wetness out of her eye.\n\n\"No,\" I said quietly. \"He knows what he's about.\" I realised that this was true only as I said it. \"We're in good enough hands, rashness and insanity or no. There are better people to be worried about.\"\n\nShe looked at me and sighed heavily, shaking her head. \"I'd like children, someday, Richard. But not here, not with his God-damned 'old ways' and his lights and his perimeters.\"\n\n\"They're not his, though,\" I said, wonderingly. \"Not more so than they're ours. If there's a solution for it all, it lies with us, not with pointing fingers...\" I hugged Naomi, who said nothing by way of reply. \"You said two days ago that there were still great things left at this site. And in me. I'd like to think that there are--yes? In all of us.\"\n\nThe collie looked around us, at the stacks of crates, each incubating Death. She managed a smile. \"I thought you were supposed to be the cynical pessimist.\"\n\n\"Oh, it's just like you to say something like that,\" I said. \"I should've figured. And pessimism is shit,\" I said, dourly. \"It never works out.\" There was still sadness, still regret--but the smile widened anyway. A good sign. \"It's not all lost yet, Naomi,\" I said, more seriously. \"Things'll turn around, I promise.\"\n\nKennard was quiet, so silence settled in and shielded us in our own thoughts. \"If I ever doubt for a moment that I love you, Richard,\" she finally said, \"you'll remind me of this moment, ok?\"\n\n\"All right.\"\n\n\"You promise?\"\n\n\"I do.\"\n\nAnd we went back to work in Nagaina's nest, writing here and there in a ledger. Suddenly Naomi sat back and tossed her notepad on the floor. \"We're such damned fools,\" she said, and inwardly I sighed.\n\n\"Naomi...\"\n\nShe shook her head, sending fur askew. \"That's not what I mean. Quite, at least. Think a bit, Richard, what reason've we got for being here? These people looking from the air for their crashed aeroplane, they've got a metal mound out in the middle of the desert that happens to be radioactive. Would your* first thought be, 'oh let's get some Deckardian archaeologists out here!'?\"\n\n\"Well... no,\" I said, thinking about it. \"I'd have gotten some military technicians out here.\"\n\n\"So they must have something else. An artefact--a piece of pottery, maybe, something.\"\n\n\"I bet you're right.\"\n\nShe sighed. \"And nobody saw that. We could've guessed from the first day we started here what they were going to have us doing.\"\n\nThat hit home. \"We could've.\"\n\n\"Bloody hell,\" she said, and looked at her notebook with distaste. After that--once it had all become our fault again--it was hard to get back to work.\n\n\\\n\nWe cornered Jameson as we returned that evening--I was growing much more bold than I ought to have been, you see. He looked at us both and asked if there was anything he could do.\n\n\"Perhaps,\" Naomi said, and explained her line of reasoning. His facial expressions had been changing throughout such that when she finished he was smiling broadly.\n\n\"Well done. Now you see the value of a good mind. Don't screw anything up in this thing you've got going, Mr. Cameron; it'd be a shame to lose her.\" I flinched and wondered how much anyone else suspected; was not gladdened at all by the follow-up: \"It's fairly obvious, by the way, you two. But not a problem. Anyway, Dr. Kennard, you have hit the nail right on its proverbial forehead. The first ground team to come out here found a skeleton.\"\n\n\"So this thing in the cave didn't faze you.\"\n\nHe shook his head. \"Not at all, Mr. Cameron. It was a relief when the dates came up about the same, of course. Now... the real* reason why we came down here was something else. Something we found in the skeleton's hand. Hold on...\" he disappeared for a moment around the side of the truck, and returned cradling something. \"This.\" A small disk, about the size and shape of a good skipping rock. \"This marks only the third of it's kind we've found. The other two are in the hands of the Union government, of course. They're very finely milled, and from dissection we know that they appear to contain circuitry we can't even hope to understand.\"\n\n\"What do they do?\"\n\n\"That we didn't know, Dr. Kennard--that's what you folks were for. We'd never found one in such rich... surroundings. With Lieutenant Primachenko's newfound understanding of their technology, however, we've been able to activate it.\"\n\n\"And?\"\n\nHe shrugged. \"It glows, children. Bit of an anticlimax, I admit. If the power is removed, it stops glowing. Would make a nice bauble, though.\"\n\n\"So in terms of running a kajillion volts through alien technology you don't have a prayer of understanding...\" I said.\n\n\"Yes, we're three for three. Two of them we have a working grasp on, now! The beauty of it all is--\" then someone tapped him on the shoulder and handed him a piece of paper. He stopped in mid-sentence and when he spoke again his voice had changed--was deeper, less personal. \"This conversation ends now. I shall see you all again shortly.\" And without even an opportunity to bid him farewell, Jameson was gone.\n\n\\\n\n'Why,' we learned less than ten minutes later when he assembled everyone--he and nine other soldiers, the five scientists--in front of one of the armoured personnel carriers. He looked uncharacteristically... grim, I suppose the word is. Ordinarily he was powerful, but impassive. Now he was set.\n\n\"Good evening, puppeteers. I'm afraid I have some very good news for you.\" He nodded to himself. \"I've just received word from our fathers across the Naffis Sea, and it looks we may be getting some company.\"\n\nI shot Naomi a somewhat worried glance and was met by one equally so in return. \"Friendly company, sir?\"\n\n\"How well do you fancy the colour red?\" The Colonel looked at us each in turn and then folded his hands in front of his muscular stomach. \"Satellites have detected a Gaarderriken battle group moving south from their installations in the north-west, and for the code-wranglers amongst you I've been forwarded a note regarding recent SIGINT activity. There is more, all of it classified; suffice it to say to you all that it appears that some kind of operation has been launched. As you are aware, our activities here are, technically speaking, in breach of the 1969 treaty between the Union and Assuli; given the recent pledge of support to the Assulian government by the Gaarderrike Soviet, this has the potential to be an explosive situation.\" Something that was trying to be a grin crossed his face. \"Quite literally.\"\n\n\"What have they got, sir?\" Captain Ellis did not sound as frightened as I would've, asking the same question.\n\n\"Only one ship capable of supporting activities against us, a helicopter carrier of the type they find so attractive... Unfortunately, they will be in a position to engage us close to two hours before NEST reinforcements can arrive. The République has pledged her assistance to our predicament, so a joint Tourainean-Union task force is being assembled, but we appear to be rather short on time...\"\n\n\"What's the plan?\"\n\n\"Well, we have, as I see it, two choices--presuming they are* planning to join our little party. That, we won't know until tomorrow. Either way, we can either surrender ourselves, our equipment, and the site to them--or we can stand and fight. Of course, this is not a democracy, so the decision has been made for you.\" This decision was obvious even before he explained it. My heart was beating faster and faster and, even with death at least a night away, my mouth was dry as he explained that he was ordering defences to be set up within the cavern itself. I wondered what was going to happen to me, personally, in all this, and then he asked a final question:\n\n\"Can any of you civilian-types shoot?\"\n\n\\\n\nClark evidently was a hunter. I had never fired a gun in my life; neither had anyone else. Jameson cursorily dispatched Ellis to explain the basics and then withdrew, taking three of his men with him to work on fortifying our positions. Without saying anything, Captain Ellis assigned to each of us an \"M19A1 .223 calibre gas-operated assault rifle,\" which was not only lighter than I had thought such a fearsome thing would be--I guessed ten pounds--but also possessing fewer moving parts.\n\nBasic training was cursory. I think Ellis was impatient, and wanted to get back to the Colonel, but he showed us first how to load and eject a magazine, how to charge the weapon, how to manipulate a selector lever on the side. Then, admonishing us not to \"do anything stupid,\" he was off, leaving five academics standing around, rather incongruously holding automatic weapons. Only Clark seemed to be at home with this--and he, still wearing a vest and tie, looked more out of place with the gun than anyone else.\n\n\"Correct me if I'm wrong,\" Johansen finally said, \"but did we all just get assault rifles?\"\n\n\"We did,\" Marcus Blackman confirmed, examining his closely. \"I myself am trying to figure out why... er... are any of us soldiers?\"\n\nNo. \"This is very much not what I signed up for,\" Kennard declared, and set the gun back on the truck it had emerged from.\n\n\"Me either,\" Blackman agreed--though he kept his.\n\n\"Come now, who didn't see something like this happening?\" Clark played with the charging handle, and only saw our bewildered expressions when he looked back up. \"Oh, don't give me that. What do you think they had rifles to spare for, door prizes? Didn't any of you notice that? For shame.\"\n\nBlackman's gaze flicked from the fox to his gun, and then back. \"This is ridiculous.\"\n\n\"Oh, live a little. Didn't you see Raiders of the Lost Ark? Great movie, that. You kind of look like Harrison Ford, actually, Cameron.\"\n\n\"I'd never thought about it,\" I said. \"At the moment, I'm a little more focused on the whole, 'we all die tomorrow morning' thing.\"\n\n\"Nah. We're the good guys, Richard.\"\n\n\"With no experience at all in killing people.\"\n\n\"Or dying, either,\" Peter Clark returned. \"So the playing field's even.\" He sighed and gave the handle an authoritative snick! \"Look, we're all scared shitless, but that doesn't help, right? We can't do anything about this, so we might as well stick together, do what we can. Just like in the movies.\"\n\n\"We are going to be attacked by trained fucking soldiers,\" Blackman hissed. \"What the hell are we going to do--lecture them to death? Christ, Peter, are you retarded* or something?\"\n\nThe fox held up a finger. \"Pragmatic. What's your solution?\"\n\nTheir eyes locked until finally Blackman threw down his weapon--far less carefully than Naomi had disposed of hers--and stomped off. In parting, he declared that, \"I hate you, Clark. Just remember that.\"\n\n\"I could be less cheery,\" Peter admitted to no-one in particular. \"But that wouldn't change anything, so why be an asshole about it? That's my thinking, anyway.\" His interest slipped back to the handle. Marit Johansen left to find Marcus, and the fox now looked at us. \"What can you do?\"\n\n\"I really don't want to die,\" Kennard said, offhandedly, as though this had just occurred to her. \"I don't recall telling anyone that I did, when I came out here.\"\n\n\"You didn't. You, Cameron?\" I shook my head. \"Nah, me either. The thing is, I don't intend to, so, it doesn't matter.\"\n\n\"What do you suppose the odds are we make it out tomorrow?\"\n\nClark looked at me closely and cocked his head. \"Odds are for mathematicians, not soldiers. Tell you what, though... I bet you fifty bucks you'll be alive to pay me back when we get back to Midbar. You too, Kennard.\" He waggled his eyebrows. The bet was completely foolish, obviously, but I took heart in it somehow.\n\n\"You're on.\" I shook his hand. \"Fifty bucks is a small price to pay for living through a firefight, I figure.\" Naomi seemed to agree, and took him up as well. \"If you lose, though, you pay me back when we get to hell, yeah?\" The bravado was reassuring.\n\n\"Swear to God,\" Clark said. \"Lucifer, whatever. Now... we've got a long night ahead of us. I'm pretty sure I can guess how you two will be spending it, but, uh, I've got some things I should be attending to myself. I'll see you tomorrow.\" With this he was off, jauntily carrying his rifle.\n\nFutilely Naomi and I spent the night under the stars again. We said almost nothing, just held each-other close. I scanned the sky for shooting stars and found none--not a single thing upon which to make a wish. As it grew colder we huddled together, lost in our thoughts--both hoping, I think, that if we simply didn't talk about the next day, it wouldn't have to happen.\n\nDAY SIX\n\nBreakfast was eaten in funereal solemnity as we awaited our fates--I know now how condemned prisoners feel. Even the soldiers, normally talkative amongst themselves, said nothing, and I realised that we were all in the same boat--they were far too young to have seen Indochina, had never fought before. This camaraderie was not comforting in the slightest.\n\nThe death sentence came from Jameson at about a quarter of nine--though you would not have known this by the cheery air with which he approached the cluster of doomed men. We looked at him all at once, as though to a friar, looking for salvation. He stood above us and let the silence grow more dense before finally shrugging. \"Three Gaarderriken helicopters have departed a ship off the coast, headed for our position. Their ETA is forty-five minutes.\"\n\n\"Sixty men?\"\n\n\"Maybe a few more, but yes. Needless to say, regardless of what you may think I have absolute faith in us. That said, this laager is going to be our only hope. The compound itself is just too risky to fight in. We hold the cavern, or we don't hold. I will have nothing but the former--that's an order, and if you are frightened of the Soviets, you had damned well better be more frightened of me.\" It was a hell of a pep talk.\n\n\"Absolute faith in us or not,\" Blackman spoke up, \"how the hell are we going to survive this?\"\n\n\"By offering me the same faith in return\"--he didn't speak in reply to Blackman, but to us all. It was cold comfort. \"I know the odds as well as you do--on paper. What you don't know is that I am immortal. I've gone forty years without dying for a very good reason. And where I am immortal, my men are immortal. And where my men are immortal, little things like bullets don't matter to them. All you need to do is believe me.\"\n\nHe found no reassurance that we did in the silence that followed, and finally he nodded his head, as though finally understanding something. He turned to the man at his side. \"Captain Ellis, you're a believer, are you not?\"\n\n\"Sir--yes, sir.\" There wasn't a moment's hesitation, and I felt sudden awe at the courage behind this conviction.\n\nJameson drew a revolver from his jacket. It wasn't a gun I'd seen before, on him, but I recognised the type from westerns. He snapped the chamber open and handed the weapon muzzle-end to the Captain. \"Remove the round from a chamber, Ellis.\" Without saying a word, the man did, clicked the revolver closed again, and handed it back. Jameson then, with great deliberation, spun the cylinders around and they blurred, frantic, until at last they slowed to a halt; now he raised the gun and levelled it at Ellis's forehead. I thought I saw the Captain swallow nervously, but he said nothing. \"What are your odds?\"\n\n\"Five in six that I lose my head, sir.\" Dead calm in this.\n\nJameson seemed to nod, although he also seemed to not move at all. I don't know which he did--and it is possible that he did both. \"Do you trust me, Mike?\"\n\nAgain there was no pause, and the Captain said very simply: \"yes, sir. To the ends of the Earth and back again.\" I was entranced, by this point, and with crystal clarity I could see as Jameson's finger squeezed closed on the trigger, and the click of the firing mechanism as it found an empty chamber was the loudest sound I have ever heard.\n\nThe Colonel looked at all of us, now stern and compassionate, horrific and a bulwark. \"This is all I ask. And if any one of you still thinks that you are mere mortals, speak now.\"\n\nYou can laugh now, I guess, or mock us all. But it wasn't fear that kept us silent to a man--even Blackman. We knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he had been telling us the truth.\n\n\\\n\nThe APCs had been placed, with the trailers and the truck, in a semi-circle--this was Jameson's laager. The fourteen of us took positions in whatever places seemed most strategic to our untrained minds. At one point the Colonel suggested that the laager, as our fortress, needed a name, and asked for suggestions. He did it with such disturbing cheer that someone whispered an oath under their breath--whereupon he grinned, and Fort \"Fuck You\" was christened.\n\nHe wound up maybe fifteen feet from me and I watched as he took from one of the pockets of his uniform a small radio. Something about the shape bothered me, and I felt compelled to ask what he was doing.\n\n\"That's none of your concern, Mr. Cameron.\"\n\nI edged closer. It was distinctly familiar--from a movie, I thought, and then something clicked. \"That's a detonator, isn't it?\"\n\n\"Shut the fuck up and take your position,\" he said, dangerously.\n\n\"Sir. What the hell are you planning?\" He glared at me and said nothing. \"Colonel, this is something that one might conceivably* think was important--what have you got going?\" He sighed in exasperation and his gaze almost physically hurt, but he turned the radio to me so that I could see it in profile.\n\n\"Three hundred kilos of plastique, all we had. Construction explosives--shaped charges. Primachenko and I set them up last night. If our position becomes untenable, my orders are to level this cavern. Destroy the site, and everyone in it.\"\n\n\"Jesus Christ. Sir, that's not a good idea.\" For this I had no support save for self-preservation, and I was unable to get him to turn the detonator off. I couldn't even think of a good argument when I heard, muffled through the cavern walls, the sound of helicopters. After the longest minute in the history of the universe, a dark shape flitted across our narrow field of vision.\n\n\"Those aren't Union,\" I heard Ellis shout, and Jameson nodded. I struggled to control my breathing.\n\nI could hear him chanting something softly from where I lay. I turned an ear to try to understand the words: \"Immortal glory of our forefathers, remain faithful. Would that we die as you did.\"\n\n\"The Bible again, sir?\"\n\n\"Charles Gounod.\" He stared at me, looking for something. \"Do your damnedest, Cameron.\" I swallowed and nodded.\n\n\"Union soldiers,\" boomed a loudspeaker from above--the voice of God would be similar in location and tone, I imagine, though less accented. \"Surrender your arms and come out into the open!\"\n\nJameson stood and faced us. \"Ellis, are we at war with the Gaarderriken?\" he roared.\n\n\"Sir, no sir!\" Ellis shouted back.\n\n\"Then...\" here he half turned, and raised his rifle towards the helicopter, which was drifting into our field of view. \"Don't kill any of the miserable bastards unless it's an unfortunate accident! Safeties off!\" He fired a short burst at the helicopter, which reared back abruptly, like a stallion.\n\nThere was dead silence for a minute or two. Then a low hiss, and smoke began to fill the entrance of the cavern. Coughing, the turrets of the APCs rained fire into the opening. Presently the smoke dispersed. Silence again. I imagined that I could see the heaps of a few bodies, and was horrified that that almost comforted me--but it was hard to tell.\n\nThen dirt behind me began to spray and sparks cascaded from the trailer I was using as cover. Underneath the din of the APC cannons I could hear return fire. Through the narrow slit I had allotted myself I saw a figure rise distantly and pulled the trigger of my rifle. The figure collapsed--something I didn't really perceive until later. I was operating entirely on reflex.\n\nOne of the APCs stopped firing--out of ammunition, it seemed. I watched the two soldiers bail out of it and sprint back towards us. One of them joined me behind the trailer; the other tripped and fell on his face--only after he landed did I notice that the right side of his skull was missing. I blocked that part of my field of vision as best as possible.\n\nThe other APC went silent maybe only five minutes later; its crew gained the safety of our works without incident, which I was consciously grateful for--unconsciously I had pointed my weapon and caused two more shadows to collapse. Dimly I heard Jameson order a fallback and then we were running towards the second line of defence they had prepared.\n\nAs we did I saw Clark stumble and go down, motionless. The Colonel's dark form was then slinking over a field of sand being constantly pockmarked, as though in a downpour. Several, I saw from the corner of my eye, came within inches of his body, but then he and Clark were both behind the truck, in relative safety. I didn't have to cross the open space to reach them and I crawled close to discover that Clark still appeared to be breathing, and Jameson curtly told me that he would be fine.\n\nI stuck close to the Colonel even so, trying to keep an eye on the detonator, which he had laying next to him at all times. Time passed or did not--I wasn't sure; you couldn't have gotten a straight answer from me on the subject. I had no idea of what direction the battle was heading in.\n\nI was focused on a couple of a moving shapes some distance ahead when there was a deep percussive whoom! from behind me. Instinctively I knew that Jameson had fired the plastique and I squeezed my eyes shut tightly against the coming death. When, seven or eight heartbeats later, I was still alive, I opened them again to discover the battle still raging. Grenade.\n\nLike a snake Ellis was now amongst us, and he called to the Colonel calmly. \"We can't hold this, sir.\"\n\nJameson punctuated his reply with bullets. \"I know that.\"\n\n\"We're going--\" then there was another explosion, and Ellis went down. Jameson looked at the Captain almost in shock, and then grabbed for the detonator. He flipped something on it and his finger hovered above a square button on its face. He looked over at me and our eyes locked. In that instant I tried to send every telepathic message I knew how, communicated great tomes of meaning through the bullet-travelled gulf between us. As the microseconds drifted lazily by and his finger came closer to our destruction I redoubled my efforts. Time stopped entirely. \"Kurtz,\" I said. \"Don't.\" You said you had absolute faith...\n\nSomething changed in Jameson's face, hard as it was to read. He flipped the switch back on the detonator, and called back to us. \"Fall back to the complex!\" I breathed a sigh of relief. Somehow I found the strength to haul Clark back with me--I had every intention of giving him my money, in that instant. Miraculously we reached the grey wall intact and then were inside.\n\nThe engineer had cut another hole in it to fit the generator through and there was disturbingly ample room through which we could draw fire. The battle intensified; my ears began to ring with the constant unmuffled chatter of our weapons and the ricochets of theirs.\n\nI was not so deaf that I could not hear a distinctly female cry of pain from behind me, though; the terror of what this signified was even worse than that I felt of my own impending death. But I could not turn to look--there was always more fire from in front of me, always yet another swiftly moving rider bent on killing us. I don't actually know what happened--I was suddenly off the ground, and back against a solid wall. Our meeting was not happy, and the world fell to immediate, solid black.\n\n\\\\\\\n\n\"Mr. Cameron?\"\n\nI nodded dumbly. There was an unfamiliar soldier in front of me. Unintentionally I thought back to Storelvsby--when another mysterious man had said the same greeting to me. My home seemed a long way away; a long time ago. He pulled me to my feet and shook my hand.\n\n\"I'm Jean-Paul, monsieur. The cavalry has arrived. Are you all right?\"\n\nI wasn't, exactly--I ached everywhere, in parts of my body I didn't even know existed. But I nodded. \"I think so, sir.\" He nodded and moved off.\n\nThe activity seemed to be clustered near the mouth of the cavern; I discerned vehicles there, and little lumps of people. I limped towards it unsteadily. As I drew near someone approached--Blackman. He was dirty and dishevelled, and he looked disturbed. For a reason that I didn't recall then a moment of terror flashed through me.\n\n\"Are you ok, Richard?\"\n\n\"Yeah, mostly. You?\"\n\nHe shut his eyes tightly, then opened them and nodded briskly. \"Um, yeah. I seem to have been the only one of us who got through without being injured at all--not a scrape.\"\n\n\"That's something.\" I didn't want the answer, I knew, but I asked the question. \"How did we fare?\" He began to shake and I--unsteady as I was--had to stabilise him.\n\nHe took an uneven breath. \"Not so well, Richard. Um... four of the soldiers are dead. They already took Ellis and the engineer, the Russian guy, out in a helicopter--they're in critical condition.\" Blackman's teeth started to chatter and I pitied him. \"Clark got shot in the chest. He, uh, he wants to see you when you have the chance.\" His voice broke and he had to take a pause before he continued with the worst of it. \"We, uh, we lost Johansen. She didn't even... didn't even have a chance,\" he managed.\n\n\"Christ. Oh, Jesus, I'm sorry.\"\n\nThe clatter of his teeth was louder than his words. \"There was nothing you could do.\" He was on the verge of outright tears and there did not seem to be a way to hold him together. Without saying anything else we walked back to the triage centre that had been set up and he sat down in the truck, shivering.\n\nJameson was conversing with a pair of neatly-uniformed soldiers--based on Blackman's testimony I gathered that he had been wounded, but it was impossible to tell this. I looked amongst the neat rows of our injured--and theirs, apparently. Red hair caught my attention.\n\nNaomi had been hastily bandaged; here and there dark blood showed through. I thought she was asleep (well, no, at first I thought worse) but her eyes fluttered open as I stood there, and with some effort--it hurt like a bastard--I sat down next to her. She smiled at me and I brushed her hair with my paw. \"How are you doing?\" I asked, softly.\n\n\"Based on your expression, a hell of a lot better than I look.\"\n\nI nodded. \"What happened?\"\n\n\"Damned if I know. I woke up here, honestly. Some friendly guy with a beautiful Gallic accent shot me full of something very* nice. How about on your end, Richard? You look like you've been through a war.\"\n\nI smiled weakly. \"I'm in your boat, but without the morphine.\" Naomi laughed quietly--and the sound was almost enough to drive me to tears. I realised at once how worried I had been, how relieved I had become. I bent down and kissed her on the forehead.\n\nShe grew more solemn. \"Did you hear about--\" I nodded, and so did she. \"A damn shame. You see Clark?\" I shook my head and the smile returned. \"He's babbling about some philosophical bullshit to everyone who'll listen to him.\" The collie sighed, suddenly drained.\n\n\"What's wrong?\"\n\n\"I'm tired. I think it's whatever they gave me. Though... admittedly, I've had a stressful morning.\"\n\n\"I'll let you sleep then. I should find Clark.\" With that I kissed her again, and hugged her as best I could. Then, torturously, I stood up and hobbled back through the camp.\n\n\"Richard!\" Clark almost clapped me on the shoulder, perceived my condition, and stopped in mid-swing. \"What did I tell you? You owe me fifty bucks, you coyote bastard.\"\n\nI laughed in spite of myself, through--because of, too--the tension. \"Midbar.\"\n\nHe nodded enthusiastically and produced a small leather-bound book. I thought at first it was a Bible, but he explained that it was his journal. \"I write everything in here,\" he said. Then he turned it around and I gasped. The pages had been shredded in a neat circle. He grinned. \"Saved my life! I can't believe it. My God, I almost didn't get a chance to collect on our wager, I mean... but! Oh, get this.\" He opened it and read aloud: I find myself wondering what became of these people here. What was their fate? I think we shan't ever know. He turned the book back around and indicated the bullet hole, which had stopped on that page, revealing only a single word of this passage, which he now repeated. \"'Fate,' Richard. It's enough to make one get religion.\"\n\n\\\n\nKennard's wounds were, it turned out, not as bad as they appeared (if not truly superficial); we boarded the last helicopter with everyone else who was capable of walking. She sat down and as I entered Jameson tapped me on the shoulder and pulled me aside.\n\n\"I have to destroy the site, you know, Richard.\" I sighed. \"I know you rather it not work out that way--I would too. But... we're not going to have a chance to excavate it, and I can't let this fall into the hands of the Gaarderrike.\"\n\n\"That tell has the potential for enormous* benefits to... to humanity, not just archaeology. You can't...\" I said weakly.\n\n\"I know. But the political situation is too unstable, here, Richard. This must be our gift to our children. This is the sacrifice today makes for tomorrow.\"\n\nI looked at him. Fighting back tears, I nodded. \"I understand.\" And I entered the helicopter. I sat next to my lover and started to say what Jameson had told me. Kennard already knew. The ebony man sat across from us, looking noble while at the same time... almost humble. The helicopter began to grow lighter, and then we were up, climbing slowly, inching skyward. I thought maybe I would look back at the tell but I didn't, watched as Jameson fingered the detonator. It was he who looked at it, reverently, and then thumbed the button down.\n\nHe could see things that I could not, behind me, but his eyes fell on mine. He set the detonator away, and leaned forward with an expression on his face that I could not read then, and cannot now. And he spoke--four words only.\n\n\"The horror!\" Jameson whispered to me, in a cry that was no more than a breath. \"The horror!\"\n\nEPILOGUE\n\nI was only bruised, fortunately--even Clark, it turned out, had suffered broken bones. We spent a week in Midbar Ramady recovering, after the funerals; after grieving Naomi and I spent much of the time planning our future--such as it would be, what with her an ocean away. That hurt more than my battered body did. There were vacations here and there--for her more than for me, since work in the north was sporadic, and her university did not have her teaching year-round as the high school did. When I hugged her for the last time and bid her farewell as she boarded the plane for Britannia, I kept myself together; as she disappeared I began to weep, and would not stop for nearly an hour, despite Clark's best efforts. It was a stressful time.\n\nBut I was reinvigorated by it all. Clark worked in Rennsylsmark and we took separate planes home, so I was alone when I reached Storelvsby, having had plenty of time to think. I decided that I was going to turn things around--it's cliché that recognising the transience of life reinforces its importance, and honestly that wasn't all of it. I started to have second thoughts about my distaste for archaeology. I started to have second thoughts about my distaste for teaching. I had millions of thoughts about Naomi Kennard, though they were all happily the same.\n\nFirst-period history (the simply-titled \"Ancient Rome\") was not a very exciting class. I didn't care much about Rome; the students didn't care much about anything, so near as I could tell. But that was ok. I burst through the door, eliciting a few shrieks, and then I grinned broadly at my charges, and in a deep voice opened the class:\n\n\"Good morning, puppeteers!\"\n\nMy impression wasn't half-bad, if I do say so myself.\n\n\\\n\nIn my office--the little partition of one I have, rather--there are, hanging on the walls, only two things. The first is a calendar; the second is the framed letter I received from my advisor suggesting that the programme I was enrolled in wasn't working out. I kept that around in case I ever started to have any self-esteem, see. In early August I received something else that was a worthy candidate.\n\nRichard, it began, and a few breathless paragraphs later said this: I've been speaking with people in my department who pull some weight in the University. We're not officially accepting anyone, here, but I have it on good authority that, if you say the word, we'd suddenly be looking for a new student. Decorum suggests I shouldn't be your advisor, but Jim Reed volunteered without even skipping a beat. But only, love--only if you say the word.\n\nI placed a hasty phone call without even reading the rest of my mail that day. I still hadn't read it when I started packing my bags.\n\n\\\n\nI'm not sure what I'm going to do. I hope life in the Northland will be satisfactory--though I have at least one ally there who can guarantee victory against all odds, so I'm not too concerned. She's expressed more hope than I might've dared for my future--and damned if that hope's not contagious. Whatever comes my way, though... I'll make it work.\n\nThe week I spent in the Assuli Expanse has changed me deeply, fundamentally--permanently. Even without the journals I'm always writing I could recall the whole thing from memory, I think. Setting down there, in the cluster of tents. Jameson--God, everything about him. Naomi, drinking water like it was going out of style. That first skip in my heart as we entered the site itself and I realised what I'd been missing. The gut-wrenching horror of those last few hours.\n\nI wouldn't say it was all positive, but I don't regret signing on--the first decision in five years I haven't regretted. It's given me a new lease on life, a new future. Not everyone has these chances, unfortunately--but I've been given mine, and I won't let anything take it away, no matter the odds. Odds are for mathematicians, anyway.\n\nThey're announcing my flight now, so it's time to end this, I think. Fold the whole story back inside--and tell it, maybe, once or twice. It's not a bad one. And there's the boarding call again--and you know what?\n\nAirports ain't so bad after all." } ]

That I am marrying Tia or that I chose you to be my best mare?\" Lunar stood wearing his knightly attire which consisted of a red vestment, gold silk shoulder guards and star laidend sash that cut across his chest.\n\nStarlight looked up to the stallion. \"Both really. I mean it was not something that I expected.\" Lunar chuckled softly and looked to the earth pony before he spoke.\n\n\"You are my best friend Starlight, next to Tia and Luna. When I knew the wedding was approaching I had only one pony in mind to ask, you.\"\n\nThe two of them stood at the alter, Luna stood beside them because it was by Celestia's request that she preside over the ceremony. Across from them stood Twilight and her friends, all dressed in their finest attire. Even though the stallion had been awaiting this moment, Luna could see that he was nervous.\n\n\"Be at peace dear brother. We know thou is nervous but thou should not be. T'is a wonderful thing that will take place here this day.\" Luna then nuzzled into the stallion's neck to which he returned it with one of his own.\n\n\"I know Luna.

But the fact that it is happening still makes me wonder if this is a dream.\"\n\nLuna smiled to her soon to be brother. \"T'is no dream Lunar.\"\n\nThe stallion nodded as the music changed and the doors to the hall opened. Three filles, Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle bounced along and dropping flowers as they went. After they came down the aisle, everypony waited until Celestia turned the corner and started to make her way up the aisle. She was in a pure white gown which covered her flank, around her midsection was also in white but seemingly stitched into the fabric were roses. Lunar knew just whom to thank for this. Upon the princess's head she wore a silk veil circled with roses. Lunar was awestruck. He could not begin to put into words just how beautiful she looked, even with a swollen belly.\n\nShe slowly made her way till she was standing beside him and smiled. Luna looked between the two and nodded her head. \"Fillies and Gentlecolts. We are gathered here today to witness the union of two ponies whom care for each other deeply. They have faced many dangers together and fought against death itself. We are proud to be the one to preside over this ceremony.\"\n\nBoth Celestia and Lunar turned to face one another before Luna spoke again. \"Dearest sister dos't thou take this stallion to be thy husband through good times and bad? Through all the years of thy life even until the next?\"\n\nCelestia nodded. \"I do.\"\n\n\"Lunar dos't thou take thy sister to be thy wife through good times and bad? Through all the years of thy life even until the next?\"\n\nLunar nodded. \"I do.\"\n\n\"The rings please.\" Using her magic to carry the rings, Twilight walked up the shallow incline. Luna then took them from her using her own magic and slowly slide one onto their horns. \"Then by the power vested upon us as the princess of Equestria. We now pronounce thee mare and stallion, King and Queen. Thou may kiss thy bride.\" Lunar wasted no time in doing so. He quickly pressed his lips to those of his wife and queen as the crowd of ponies that lined the hall cheered.\n\nTia and Lunar walked side by side down the aisle till they exited the hall and those outside cheered. Using her magic, Celestia tossed her bouquet of roses into the crowd and they both watched as fillies tried frantically to catch it.\n----------\n\nNight had fallen and the reception after the wedding started to kick off. The crowd parted as both Lunar and Celestia made their way to the center of the dance floor. Both smiled to the other.\n\n\"Our first dance as husband and wife.\"\n\nCelestia moved forward and placed a gentle kiss upon the stallion's lips then broke it only to look into his deep purple eyes. \"It will not be our last.\"\n\nThe two took their cue from the music and began their dance of love. Their steps and body language just shouted of how much they cared for each other. Celestia leaned her head against her husband as they danced. \"Oh Lunar, I could not be happier.\"\n\nLunar chuckled softly. \"Nor I my dearest. Nor I.\"\n\nThe song lasted a while before a pink pony hopped up on stage and shouted. \"Let's get this party started!!\" The tempo and soon the atmosphere of the room changed and every pony started to dance. Lunar and Celestia had also joined in on the fun. Haze and Misty stood off to one side just watching the room before Haze took Misty by her hoof and dragged her on to the dance floor.\n\nLuna stood alone before a field of magic surrounded her and brought her into the center of the room where Lunar and Celestia stood. \"I could not have done this without you little sister. If you did not push me to be better then what I was I shudder to think what might have happened.\"\n\n\"Big brother you know this as well as Tia and we do. You are whom you are. Even if we had done nothing, you would have fought just as hard regardless so please you need not thank us. Besides, we...\" She was silenced when he wrapped her with his wing and held her close. The heat from his body warming her to her core.\n\nCelestia smiled deeply and stared at her sister and her new husband. \"Care for a picture your majesties?\"\n\n\"Hmm? Oh yes, by all means.\"\n\nThe young mare stood before the three of them and looked into her view finder before taking the shot. It was moment forever cemented in time and would remain so for as long as they remembered it." } ]

Friends for a long time, they recently discovered their intense love for each other and began a lifelong relationship.\n\nWalking out of the theatre, Melissa grabs Kevin's arm and smiles at him. They walk slowly towards the parking lot, laughing with each other, gazing at each other, grabbing the occasional kiss when the other people around them aren't looking. As they near the car, Melissa begins eyeing the bulge in Kevin's tight jeans. She knows he isn't wearing underwear, she had watched him dress before they left for the movie. A quick brush of her hand down his firm abs and over his thick sheath gets a quick reaction from him. She can hear his quick intake of breath as they look at each other and exchange mischievous smiles. They reach their car, parked in the far end of the parking lot, near an empty lot.\n\nThey climb into the car and Melissa immediately turns towards Kevin, and leaning over the gearshift, she begins to unbutton the fly on his jeans. She looks up at him, their eyes meet and the passion flies between them like lightning. She quickens her fingers on the buttons until the jeans are loosened. She glances down at his large balls resting loosely in the thick brown skin. Her hand makes its way down his sheath onto his sac, which she gently massages, feeling the warmth of his testicles permeating her skin. Kevin reaches his hand and brushes her cheek. He then slowly moves his hand down her slender body, gently caressing her smaller but perfectly formed breast, she sighs a little and their glances meet again. They feel each other's love, souls, meeting. Although they are different, their bodies fit together well, just as their souls. His hand continues down her body until it reaches the button on her jeans. He quickly undoes it and moves onto the zipper. He slowly pulls the fly open to reveal the dark patch of fluffy hair barely concealing her already moist lips. She widens her legs enough to allow his hand to reach down and slowly massage her lips, making his way in between them and finding her clit. He gently rubs over her small clit, with each movement he draws quivers and a moan from Melissa, whose eyes are gently closed and muzzle is partially opened.\n\nShe begins to massage his balls with a little more motion, as the wide pink head of his cock starts to make it's way from it's sheath. With her other hand she strokes his dark red mane, running her fingers tenderly through it drawing a relaxed moan from Kevin. He leans over and kisses her with a gentle passion as she presses her hips forward, forcing his middle finger inside her warm moist hole. He knows exactly what to do. His knowledgeable finger slowly rubs the inner wall of her pussy, teasing her as it brushes over her spot occasionally, and with each encounter she shakes and nods her head back. She lets out a moan and begins to work her hand up from his balls to find his now unsheathed and quickly growing cock waiting for her. She runs her hand over it, drawing quick breaths from Kevin, and continues up his abdomen, feeling his short but silky fur that covers his entire body except his sheath and sac. She moves her hand back down to his cock and caresses his enlarging head. Not even fully erect yet, Kevin's pink and black dappled equine penis has reached a length of 17 inches, and there is plenty more to come. She begins to rub the head of his dick, watching as his entire body relaxes, and as his cock quickly grows to it's full 38 inches. His precum is dripping from the tip as she uses both hands to encircle his incredibly thick member and rub up and down his shaft slowly. The pace of his fingers quickens inside her and she arches her back as Kevin focuses completely on her spot. The motion on his cock stops as he rubs quicker and harder on the wall of her pussy. She begins to moan louder and louder as her breathing grows heavier, suddenly she snaps her head forward and pulls down hard on his cock. Kevin lets out a gasp as his body is wracked with pleasure; she repeats this, each time getting the same reaction. She slowly pulls his hand away from her now dripping pussy and leans over to place his throbbing cock in her mouth. She licks and sucks the head, and takes over half the cock into her muzzle, then moves her tongue down the full length of his enormous dick. Kevin throws his head back and lets out a small whinny. The scent in the car is intoxicating, each of them breathing it in and becoming more and more aroused. Kevin, his cock now soaked with saliva and pre, gently pushes her head away and replaces his hand, this time a bit more aggressively. He looks into her eyes and smiles, and then thrusts two fingers into her hole, rubbing and pushing against her inner wall. Melissa lets out a loud whinny as she arches her back and rolls her eyes with pleasure. Kevin continues to finger her until she quietly says \"I..ww...want you....soo...much\"\n\n\"I want you, I want to be deep inside you...\" replies Kevin.\n\n\"Take me, now!\"\n\nThey both glance into the back of the station wagon, where the seats have already been laid flat (this isn't the first time they have done this in the car). Melissa climbs into the back first, slipping between the two front seats. She pulls her pants off as Kevin follows her into the back and quickly pulls his pants off as well. After removing his own shirt he tenderly pulls hers off and undoes her bra, revealing her firm mounds and erect nipples. She lies on her back with her knees bent and opens her legs, showing Kevin her glistening pussy, and he lets out a whinny as her scent reaches his enlarged nostrils. He moves over to her and kneels before her. She looks up at him and admires his body. The moon casting shadows, making his toned arms and chiseled torso look godly. Slowly he reaches his cock towards her and lightly brushes her lips. They watch each other as he leans closer and softly kisses her muzzle. He slowly and gently pushes his large head past the barrier of her wet lips.\n\nIt easily slips in and they moan simultaneously as they feel each other's genital warmth. Kevin continues to push his giant shaft into her pussy, feeling the insides stretch and adjust to fit him in. She whinnies as she feels inch after inch of hot horse cock penetrate her, sliding through her lips and deep into her cunt. Kevin stops for a second and she lets out a frustrated breath, which is stifled by a quick thrust deeper into her body, throwing waves of pleasure up her spine and through every inch of her skin. He continues to thrust into her, although only half of his 38 inch cock is inside her, they like start off slow.\n\nShe pulls him down towards her, pressing her body against his muscular form, forcing his cock deeper into her. As 10 more inches slip into her she whinnies loudly and begins breathing even harder. The sudden motion surprises Kevin who moans her name loudly. Each and every thrust brings his cock deeper and deeper into her pussy, drenching her senses with pleasure. They move their hips together rhythmically quicker and quicker, sweat dripping from their foreheads and just about everywhere else. Even if there were anybody around, they wouldn't be able to see the couple through the layer of steam on the windows. Every thrust of his powerful stallionhood draws a load moan from Melissa's open muzzle. Every nerve is on fire as they connect deeper and deeper. Melissa's entire body begins to shake as she lets out a load whinny accompanied by Kevin's name as she climaxes. She continues to moan loudly for minutes as the orgasm wracks her entire body. Kevin continues thrusting, quicker at first then slowing his thrusts, moving more deliberately, elongating her amazing orgasm. Melissa opens her eyes and stares at him with a loving gaze.\n\nKevin leans down to her muzzle for another, longer kiss. His thrusts quickening again as he nears his climax. He begins to whinny loudly as his cum begins to move up his enormous shaft and his tail flags. The heat of his seed sends pleasure through his entire body. Melissa moans loudly again as she feels his powerful stream of cum shoot deep into her pussy, sending her into another mind-bending climax. The muscles of her cunt clench back against his spasming member, getting a loud moan out of his muzzle. His cock continues pumping his load into her, as the hot white goo begins squirt out around his throbbing cock. The spasms finally begin to subside as his balls empty their contents into her pussy, and he collapses on her as they both revel in the intense left over feelings coursing through their bodies.\n\nThey lie against each other, feeling each other's deep breaths fall into unison. Kevin rolls off of her onto his back, and she lets out a gasp as he pulls his still semi-erect member out of her. She rolls onto her side and rests her head on his chest while she places her hand on his now penis and then slowly runs it up his stomach, savouring the sensation of his fur against her palm until it comes to rest, her arm lying across his chest. He reaches his arm over her and runs it down her back, feeling the same furry sensation and stops when he reaches the base of her tale, slowly massaging her lower back. They look into each other's eyes and simultaneously say \"I love you honey.\"\n\nThey lovingly smile at each other as Melissa closes her eyes, basking in the safety and comfort she feels lying in his powerful arms. Kevin tenderly kisses her forelock, lays his head back and watches her fall asleep on his chest, and smiles as he thinks about the last few hours. He whispers \"goodnight my love, tonight was a good night,\" and lets his eyelids droop shut, still feeling the sensations of their passion." } ]

If you do not wish to read about it or are a minor, then proceed no further. That is all.\n\nAuthor's Note: First time ever writing smut and I think it turned out decent. I didn't want my first explicit story to be without a plot but I had this running through my head last night and had to write it; however I left the ending open in case I wanted to continue with Max and Ian. Tell me what you think and enjoy!\n\n---\n\nMax's eyes fluttered open after the long nights rest. He scoured at the faint light bleeding through the thick curtains and slammed his eyes shut before opening them again. The day after school was over for the summer, Ian came over to Max's house to hang out. While there, Max's mom asked Ian if he wanted to go with them to Colorado for a week or two. Both the shepherd and the otter were excited about this, especially since they would be sharing a room separate from Max's parents. The long trip exhausted everyone, and as soon as Max and Ian entered their room, they plopped down on the bed and quickly fell asleep in each other's arms.\n\nMax slowly slipped his arm out from underneath the otter, stopping for a moment when Ian stirred a little in his sleep. He was almost free, when suddenly Ian pulled the shepherd on top of him, enfolding Max in his arms and kissing him. Max's eyes were wide with shock for a second after being caught off guard, but he slowly let himself sink into the embrace. Ian pulled away slowly from Max, eyes still locked together.\n\n\"You know, we didn't have the energy to do anything... 'fun' last night... how 'bout we fix that now?\" Ian said seductively, moving his paw between Max's legs and squeezing slightly at the growing bulge.\n\n\"But my par-RENTS are next door,\" replied Max, receiving yet another squeeze from the otter.\n\n\"Then we will just have to be quite now won't we?\" Ian replied, slowly pulling down the shepherd's shorts to reveal the tight, red boxer-briefs beneath. The bulge pulsed under Ian's ministrations, just waiting to break free from its cotton prison.\n\n\"Mhmm you even remembered to wear my favorite briefs, it's a shame they are going to have to come off!\" Max moaned a little as his canine member flopped free from its containment.\n\nMax's dominant streak kicked in and he pushed Ian's paws down by his head and kissed him as hard as he possibly could. He pulled back after a few moments, leaving him and Ian panting for breath, strands of spit passing between their lips. Releasing only one of the otter's paws, Max used his free hand to remove Ian's clothing.\n\nAfter his clothing was navigated around his rudder of a tail and finally flung across the room, Ian rolled Max over, pinning him to the bed and kissed him. Ian pulled on Max's bottom lip as he moved back, causing the shepherd to moan. Ian quickly leaned back into another kiss to stifle the shepherd. Ian pushed both of Max's paws above his head, and pinned them both together with his one paw. The otter then stroked down the shepherd's flank, across his stomach, and finally reached his cock. The otter pushed their cocks together and stroked them. Yet another kiss muffled the joined cries of pleasure.\n\nThe shepherd couldn't take it; he broke free from the otter's grasp and rolled on top of Ian... but this time there was no bed to keep them up. They fell to the floor and Ian's breath caught from the shock of a 175 pound shepherd landing on top of him.\n\n\"Are you OK Ian?\" Max asked, panicking slightly.\n\nIan chuckled at the cute look of concern that spread across Max's face, which quickly changed to a look of confusion at the chuckle. \"Don't stop, you silly mutt\" was the only response Ian gave.\n\nThat was all Max needed to continue. He opened the nightstand drawer and grabbed the traveling size bottle of lube. He popped open the cap, still a little clumsy from inexperience, and put some on his fingers. The otter lifted his legs off the ground and draped them over Max's shoulders. With his finger's lubed up, he placed one against Ian's pucker, slowly filling him. He stretched the otter out a little before adding a second finger. Ian moaned in ecstasy, pleasure filling every part of his body.\n\n\"Max, please, I can't take it anymore!\" was all he could reply through the ministrations of his shepherd.\n\nMax positioned himself in front of the otter, his tip pushing ever so slightly against the otter's ring. He pushed in slowly, giving Ian time to adjust to his size.\n\nIan moaned out, \"More!\" between gasps for breathe, but Max took his time because he did not wanting to hurt the otter. Ian's impatience showed when he thrust back on Max and shoved the rest of the shepherd's length inside of him. The otter's face contorted in pleasure, his tongue hanging out slightly, almost comically, to the side.\n\nThis action was all Max needed for him to know that his otter was ready. He pulled back, almost all the way out, before shoving his length back into Ian. They gasped in unison, both of their faces contorting in a way that only sex can reveal, once all the walls and shields of a person are lowered.\n\nMax thrust over and over, Ian moaning a little louder each time. Max leaned down and kissed Ian as he thrust inside of him. Taking one of his paws, Max started stroking Ian's shaft, which was nice and slippery from Ian's pre-cum. It was all the otter needed to be pushed over the edge. He cummed in Max's hand and on his own stomach fur. Max growled in pleasure as Ian's pulsing muscles gripped his cock. The shepherd could feel his knot growing quickly at the new sensation. He thrust a couple more times before finally pushing all the way into the otter, filling Ian with his seed. They released each other from their kiss, strands forming between their lips.\n\n\"Max, Ian, is everything alright in there?\" Max's mother asked through the door. \"We heard a loud noise and figured we should check up on you.\"\n\n\"We are fine mom,\" Max replied, somehow able to keep his voice from wavering after his climax. \"We were just wrestling.\"\n\n\"Alright, well hurry down to the lobby and eat some breakfast before it closes.\"\n\n\"OK mom, we will be down right after a couple of quick showers.\" Footsteps could be heard as Max's mom walked down the hall to the elevator.\n\n\"That was pretty close...\" Ian said, still gazing at Max's face.\n\nMax turned back to Ian and stared into his deep hazel eyes. \"I told you it would be too loud,\" Max replied.\n\n\"I think it was fine, after all they seemed to believe your wrestling story. Wrestling... using one of the oldest tricks in the book... how original,\" Ian stated, sticking his tongue out slightly at the shepherd.\n\n\"Come on,\" Max growled playfully, pulling his shrinking knot none too gently out of Ian at his snide comment. \"We need to shower quickly before they get more suspicious.\"" } ]

My car's at the school anyway.\" She winked at Sheila's boyfriend, a sexy Shepherd mix named Mitch. \"Not that I don't trust your driving, I swear!\"\n\nMitch chuckled and twirled his keys around his finger as Sheila snuggled close. \"See you at Jax's party? His dad's out of town and he's hosting the victory bash.\"\n\nPenny laughed. \"That's probably why he kicked so far tonight, so he wouldn't be stuck with all the chips!\" She wagged her tail at the invitation, though; even after a few weeks at the new school she still felt like the \"new girl\", and she looked forward to the party to help that feeling subside. She took a step towards the parking lot and waved to the pair. \"Yeah, see you there.\"\n\nShe turned and started for the, giving a little wiggle of anticipation that rustled her pompons; schools may change, but parties never do. Wonder if any Furs on the team are looking for a peppy Papillon to wear his jacket? She had her eye on a few. Maybe at the party she'd see if any of them had their eye on her, especially after seeing her moves during the halftime routine.\n\nHard on the heels of her speculation came a raucous cheer from behind her, and she grinned as the team came barreling out of the locker room, milling excitedly towards the bus. They traded high-fives, roars, barks and howls with the other students as they got closer, the mood around them heady with victory. Penny trotted around to the door of the bus before the crowd surged around her...too late. She felt the press of bodies behind her just as the door opened, and she jostled her way up the stairs as the rest of the team poured in with her. She turned to claim a \"neutral\" seat in the middle of the bus when she felt a pair of paws clamp down on her shoulders and steer her back into the aisle. A gruff voice growled in her ear.\n\n\"Where you going, new girl? C'mon, we wantcha to see something.\"\n\nShe twisted in his grip, trying to see who had a hold of her, but the tide of bodies swept her down the aisle until she found herself at the back of the bus. The paws released her, but when she turned too see who had grabbed her there was only the crowd of the team, and the eager grins on their faces made her heart start to gallop in her chest. Gamely, she tried to play it cool, even as she started to tuck between her legs. \"H-hey fellas...great show out--\"\n\nAnother fur grabbed her, wrapping a paw around her muzzle in a steely grip. That seemed to galvanize the others who surged forward to block the view from any eyes up front. The one holding her, a broad-shouldered Tiger, shoved her up against the back of the bus, his wild green eyes boring into hers. He pressed his body against her, and she whimpered as she felt the swell of his erection beneath his jeans. \"Time to break you in, new girl,\" he growled, \"See if that ass was just shakin' for show out there today.\"\n\nShe squealed around his clasping paw and slapped against his chest, which only prompted a laugh from the lusty Tiger whose name was Grash or Crash. His laughing growl turned sly as the bus rumbled to life and he leaned in close, his fangs glinting in the shadowed bus. \"Play nice, bitch, and maybe you'll enjoy it.\" He glanced back and growled, \"Hit it, Cap!\"\n\nA boom box was hefted from under the seat, and a few seconds later music blasted from the speakers as the bus started to move. The Tiger released her as the others pressed forward, her scream muffled quickly when someone shoved a dirty sweat sock into her muzzle. Laughter, nickers and growls mingled into a menacing rumble, echoed in her ears as half a dozen paws grabbed at her. She struggled as hard as she could, but her kicks and weak punches were no match for the burly athletes as first her little crop-top was hiked above her breasts, then her panties were torn from her kicking legs.\n\nShe tried to squirm away from the grasping paws, but they were everywhere, yanking her arms up to capture her wrists, squeezing and pinching at her breasts, stroking at her belly...then she cried into the balled-up sock as she saw Jax lean over her, felt his blunt finger slither between her legs. She heaved herself upward, trying to escape what she knew he'd discover, but the others held her fast to the lecherous probe as the stallion shoved his finger inside her.\n\nShe saw the surprise in his dark eyes, heard the shock in his voice. \"She's wet!\" His eyes met hers in lewd suspicion. \"Fuckin' soaked!\"\n\nShe turned her face away from the shame of her body's betraying arousal as he shoved another finger into her, twisting them inside her like an obscene corkscrew as she whimpered into her gag. She winced away from his leering voice, his hot breath in her ear. \"You're lovin' this, aren't you, puppy?\" He grabbed her breast with his other hand, rolling her nipple between his fingers as he slowly curled the fingers inside her up towards her belly. \"Yeah, you want it, don't you?\"\n\nAnd she came. Sobbed into the sweat sock as the beckoning fingers sent waves of sensation spangling along her nerves in time to the throbbing beat of the music that drowned out her shameful, ecstatic sounds. Her tail tucked desperately, trying to cover her clasping heat as her hips bucked against Jax's fingers.\n\nShe came back to herself to see Jax grinning above her. She turned her face away again, tears of shame stinging her eyes as he pulled his fingers out, knowing the slickness she felt on her thighs also coated his fingers. \"Christ...!\"\n\n\"Looks like someone wasn't kidding about Penny's victory dance,\" Another voice growled above her.\n\nPenny whipped her head back around, looking for the source of the crass words, and through her tears she saw Jax move back to let Braed, the leonine quarterback and team captain, step between her thighs. His pants were already open; his cock gleamed slickly against his belly. He smiled down at her and she struggled as he mauled one breast with his paw. \"Met up with some of your old teammates at a party last week, and they told us all about you.\" She squeezed her eyes shut as he licked the side of her face with his raspy feline tongue, tasting her tears. \"How they didn't mind losing because they still got to fuck you all the way home. Now it's our turn, slutpuppy.\"\n\n\"Do it, Cap.\" The others echoed Jax's urgings, some of them already stroking themselves in anticipation, their backs to the bus driver and coach.\n\nShe felt the tip of his cock pressed to her entrance, then his paw grasped her thigh. \"Time to dance, bitch.\" Penny whimpered into the gag as he leaned in close, cried out as his claws dug into her breast and thigh, and shrieked as he stabbed his cock into her, the force of it crushing her to the seat. His roar blended into the cheer of the others and her muffled sobs as he held himself in her, snarling his dominance. Then he started to thrust, hunching over her, the barbs on his cock scraping her cruelly with every jab of his hips.\n\n\"Do it....do it, do it, do it...!\" The chant rose from the rest of the team as the Lion pounded into her. She moaned into the sock, tears still trickling down her face. It didn't have to be like this... she thought crazily, I would have partied with any of these guys once we got to Jax's place! But even as she strained against the paws holding her down and the cock reaming her insides, a spark flared alight in the pit of her stomach like the light of an approaching freight train. She whipped her head to the side and screwed her eyes shut tighter, trying to stop what she knew was coming, was coming...the orgasm ripped through her, sent her bucking shamelessly into Braed's thrusting hips, her inner walls squeezing tightly around his cock, the ecstasy unmistakable, the degradation only begun as she heard the laugh of the others.\n\n\"Yeah, you love it, I knew it...\" Braed growled as he hunched harder, faster. \"Slutty bitch...nnnrrrgh...fuckyeah--!\" He rammed himself forward, and his fangs closed over her throat as his cock pulsed and jerked inside her, filling her with his seed. The others whooped and cheered, glorying in her violation and the Captain's savage claim. Braed pulled back slowly, growling around her throat as the barbs on his cock grabbed and pulled at her sensitive flesh until he was free. He released her with a toss of his head, and she moaned into her gag as he wiped himself off on her belly, matting her fur with the dregs of his cum and her own juices. \"Not bad,\" he drawled to the others. \"Nice and tight...\" She opened her eyes, trying to see through her tears who would be next. \"How 'bout you, J? You cool with sloppy seconds?\"\n\nPenny froze as she heard Jax's familiar nicker. \"Shit, she's gonna need all the lube she can get for me.\" She twitched her gaze down to the Stallion's groin, and when she saw the drooling flare of his head and thick stalk of a cock jutting from his open pants, she renewed her desperate struggles, screaming into the gag. She yanked her wrists free of Grash or Crash and twisted, almost got away before the rest of the team surged forward to block her, and she found herself grabbed once again, banged back against the seat to face the flashing eyes of Braed.\n\nHe roared in her face and wrapped his large paw around her throat. \"You stop these little games RIGHT now, bitch...we know you want it, YOU know you want it, or you wouldn't have juiced up for us.\" He shoved two fingers inside her and wiped the sticky mess across her muzzle and nose. \"Now are you gonna play nice and be a good little puppy, or are we gonna make you bleed!\" His claws pricked her throat, his fangs bared as she choked on her own arousal. He ripped the sock out of her mouth and released her; she fell to her knees on the floor of the bus, catching her breath and biting back fresh sobs of humiliation. Even as the tears fell, that spark inside her, the one that could only burn to a flame when the claws were sharp, the thrusts hard and merciless, answered for her. She thought of Sheila and Mitch, snuggled close outside the stadium, and wished one day that would be enough for her, the gentleness and love--\n\nClawed fingers snarled in her headfur and yanked her gaze back up, and she stared through a circle of hardening cocks at Braed's smug, sated smile. \"What's it gonna be, slutpuppy?\"\n\nShe lifted her muzzle and nuzzled up, licking the Lion's cock clean of her answer as the others laughed above her. \"Good puppy,\" he growled and stroked her ears softly before Jax lifted her back onto the seat, spreading her legs wide as he pressed his flaring head against her sopping folds.\n\nGrash she remembered as the Stallion pushed inside her, His name is Grash." } ]

The hour and racket it caused would certainly earn him an ear full from his neighbor later that day, but he would worry about that when it happened. The fennec led the vixen to the front door and unlocked it with the key he kept hidden in the light above the door. Mark had taken everything that was on him before he dumped him in the snow weeks ago. He closed the door behind him and locked it. The early morning hour didn't bother either one thanks to the sleep they got during the trip. They had found ways to entertain themselves, only adding to the vexation of the pilots, so they wouldn't be bored. Vera looked around the house, cutting on each light as she searched. Jim noticed it was much cleaner than when he left it. A note and paper bag on the small kitchen table explained why. Mark had sent someone ahead of them to clean the place up and return his things. His wallet, key ring, and communicator were all there in the bag. The panther had also given him a heads up as to what his boss was told. The husky had been informed that he had won a contest and was on vacation. A temporary replacement had been sent in to cover Jim's spot on the recovery team. His boss was expecting him to show up for work at ten that morning. He had six hours before he needed to be there. That should give him enough time to shower and set up a few rules for Vera to follow while he was away. He had a seat at the kitchen table as Vera entered the small room.\n\n\"What do you think?\"\n\nShe smiled happily and let her tail wag behind her.\n\n\"It already feels like home.\"\n\nHe smiled and motioned for her to have a seat at the table. Instead of pulling up a chair, Vera sat in his lap with a grin. After giving her a hug, he took a breath.\n\n\"I've got six hours before I have to go to work this morning.\"\n\nShe frowned at the mention of him having to go.\n\n\"I'll be back at nine tonight if I don't get any serious calls. It'll be the same thing every day except the last three of the week. I'm off for the weekend then.\"\n\nShe smiled again with a nod.\n\n\"I think I can survive that long.\"\n\nJim chuckled and licked her neck. She shivered and let her ears fall to the side.\n\n\"I hope so. I'd really miss you if you vanished.\"\n\nOnce the shiver ended, she looked at him with that sheepish grin from the cave.\n\n\"Do that again please, Master.\"\n\nHe smiled before shaking his head slightly.\n\n\"I need to discuss a few rules for you to follow while I'm at work. Don't break these... it's important.\"\n\nThe vixen nodded with a disappointed look on her face and waited for him to continue.\n\n\"First, I don't want you to leave the house unless it's an emergency. Don't let anyone in while I'm gone. Don't even answer the door. If someone tries to break in, unlikely it may be, I want you to defend yourself and call me when you can. I'll leave the number by the home comm system. I won't ask you to do any more than your share of the housework. You have access to the video screen in the living room and anything in the kitchen as long as you know what you're doing. You got me so far?\"\n\n\"Yes, Master.\" She smiled brightly, earning another lick from the fennec. This time, the girl let out a whimper in pleasure.\n\n\"Good girl. Now, while I'm here and there's a guest in the house, under no circumstances are you to call me master. That would end up with me doing a whole lot of explaining that I'd rather not have to do. In public, the same rule applies. In the event of a slip up, we could say you lost a bet or something.\"\n\nVera giggled and rested her head on his shoulder.\n\n\"Good idea.\"\n\n\"For now, I think those rules cover everything.\"\n\nJim's ears perked up at the sound of a wheeled car pulling into the driveway outside the house. The car was familiar sounding. It belonged to his best friend and team mate. Justin McNeil was a fennec like Jim, but his fur was much darker. It was an unusual chocolate color that clashed to an extent with his blue, green tinted eyes. Jim looked at Vera with a smile.\n\n\"Remember the rules, Vera.\"\n\nShe nodded and got out of his lap as someone knocked at the door.\n\n\"Yes, Jim.\"\n\nHe walked to the door and opened it to see Justin standing there in his uniform. He intended to stay till it was time to work it seemed.\n\n\"Jim! Holy shit! I heard a shuttle touch down by your place and had to see if you were back. We missed ya, man! How was your trip? Didja pick anyone up?\" The grin on his face went to a look of shock after the vixen in the back of the room giggled. He stared at Jim. \"No way... really?\"\n\nJim stood aside and let his friend enter. Vera stood with her hands clasped together in front of her exposed belly. A smile was on her face as she gave the man a nod.\n\n\"Good morning!\"\n\nThe chocolate fennec stared at her for a moment before snapping out of it.\n\n\"By the heavens, Jim. Did you have to have the hottest girl at the resort?\"\n\nBoth Jim and Vera blushed at his comment earning a laugh from Justin.\n\n\"Chill guys, just messing with you.\" He leaned against the wall with a grin. \"Are you going to introduce me to her, Sir?\"\n\nJim chuckled and nodded.\n\n\"Vera, this is my right hand man and fellow team mate, Justin. Justin, this girl is the current and permanent owner of my heart, Vera.\"\n\nJustin shook her hand with a smile.\n\n\"Pleased to meet you miss. You'll like the commander. He's a great guy.\"\n\nVera only grinned as she shook his hand.\n\n\"I know.\"\n\nThe three had a seat in the small living room to continue the conversation.\n\n\"So, Jim, tell me about the trip. Where did you go? They said you won big in some kind of contest.\"\n\nJim nodded and put an arm around Vera's shoulders. She rested her head against his shoulder while he spoke.\n\n\"I'm not sure.\" He chuckled. \"No one would tell me. It was some place in the mountains though. Froze the whole time until I met her. I didn't have to pay for anything the whole time I was there. Everything was covered. When I left, I was given a check I plan on cashing before I head home this evening.\"\n\n\"How big is the check? A few thousand?\"\n\nJim held out his hand. For a moment, the darker fennec just stared at it. He shook it slowly with a wrinkled brow.\n\n\"What was that about?\"\n\n\"You just shook the hand of a multimillionaire.\"\n\nJustin's eyes widened as his jaw hung open.\n\n\"No way. How much, dude. Seriously.\"\n\nJim removed the check from his pocket and read the line aloud.\n\n\"Pay to the order of Jim Stevens twenty five million credits.\" He turned the check around so the other fennec could see. His mouth hung open once again.\n\n\"I don't believe it! Are you still going to work search and rescue?\"\n\nHe nodded and put the check back in his pocket.\n\n\"Yeah. First thing I'm doing is stashing twenty million into savings. The other five, I'll put on my card and use carefully.\"\n\n\"Got any plans on how to spend it?\"\n\nJim nodded again and gave the vixen a gentle squeeze.\n\n\"She needs clothes. They lost hers on the way back to the space port.\"\n\nThe vixen looked up at him with bright eyes.\n\n\"You'll do that for me?\"\n\n\"Yeah. You live here now, right?\"\n\nJustin held both hands up to stop the conversation.\n\n\"Hold up a minute. Did you just say she lives here?\"\n\n\"Yeah.\"\n\nHe looked back and forth for a moment before an ear tilted to the side.\n\n\"Have you two...?\"\n\nJim and Vera looked at each other for a moment with grins on their faces. The chocolate fennec groaned.\n\n\"You guys have, haven't you?\"\n\nJim licked Vera's neck sending a shiver down her spine. Her ears fell to the sides as a quiet moan left her mouth. Jim looked at his friend as the vixen grinned and returned the gesture. Justin faked a retch and held up a hand.\n\n\"Stop... I've seen enough.\"\n\nBoth Jim and Vera laughed at his reaction.\n\n\"After getting her clothes, I'm going to have a new home built on some land nearby if there's enough there. I'll fix up my truck and live comfortably on the rest.\"\n\nJustin shook his head with a grin.\n\n\"You go away for a month and a half and come back stinking rich with a vixen that could make the night sky jealous. You lucky bastard.\"\n\nThe two men shared a laugh. The sun had risen just enough to let light in through the blinds on the window. Odd shapes from the small holes were cast on the wall and floor of the room.\n\n\"Kidding aside, you must have had a blast.\"\n\n\"Yeah. It wasn't at first though. Meeting her made all the difference.\"\n\nVera smiled as Justin stood and stretched. His gaze fell on the collar around the vixen's neck before shifting back to Jim.\n\n\"I better let you get settled in before work. I'll see you when you head in.\" He waved at the pair before stepping out the door. \"Bye guys, and try not to wear yourself out before work Jim.\"\n\nHe pulled the door shut behind him and soon drove off to leave his friend to prepare for the day ahead. Vera moved to lay her head in Jim's lap as soon as she felt the coast was clear. She looked up at him with a smile and relaxed when he rubbed her ears.\n\n\"Hope he didn't bug you too much. He does that sometimes.\"\n\nVera giggled and tilted her head back to stretch a little.\n\n\"No. He seems like a good person. Have you known him a while, Master?\"\n\n\"Yeah.\" He started to rub the girl's belly. \"He lives about a block away from here. He helped me move in four years ago and we've been friends since. He stops by sometimes on the weekends to hang out and try to get me to find a girlfriend. He says someone in my line of work shouldn't be single. Guess he can stop trying to play match maker, huh?\"\n\nVera laughed and nodded.\n\n\"If he stops by while you're gone, can I let him in?\"\n\n\"Yes, but be careful. He likes to ask a lot of questions. I'm expecting quite a few when I get to work.\" He glanced at the clock to find he had an hour and a half left to get ready. \"Speaking of, I need to shower and get my uniform on.\"\n\nVera stood and and reached out to help him up. He didn't need it, but he wouldn't refuse the offer.\n\n\"Are you hungry? I could have breakfast ready for you when you get out.\"\n\nTook her hand and stood with her help before heading slowly toward the bedroom. The only door to the bathroom was through there.\n\n\"A small breakfast would be fine. Can you manage that?\"\n\nWith a nod and a cheery smile, Vera started for the kitchen.\n\n\"As soon as I get used to the stove and appliances, I shouldn't have any trouble.\"\n\n\"I'll be out in half an hour.\"\n\nAs he thought, Jim was swarmed with questions as soon as he walked through the front door. Justin had told everyone all about Vera and what he knew of his trip. Jim explained the winnings he got from the contest and discovered the location of the land he had been given. It was a good sized bit of high value real estate just a quarter mile from their base of operations. His plans for the future were kept quiet for the time being. Once they were satisfied with the answers they got, they split off to get to work leaving Jim to his duties. Jim now sat in a break room waiting for a call to come in. He was thankful it had been a quiet day so far, but that didn't keep boredom from setting in and making him lose focus. He was about to drift off for a nap when Justin walked into the room and sat in front of him. He chuckled at Jim and started to open a bag of chips he got from the small cafe a few doors away.\n\n\"Falling asleep?\"\n\nJim sat up and stretched with a yawn.\n\n\"Unfortunately.\"\n\n\"Can't have that, man. People are depending on us.\"\n\nThe lighter fennec shot the other a strange look.\n\n\"Did someone disconnect the phone or something? I've never seen a day this quiet.\"\n\nJustin nodded and pulled some chips from the bag.\n\n\"It's down right creepy if you ask me. I'm not going to complain about the lack of work though. Just means people are being careful today. Something just feels wrong. Usually we get a call about a missing kid that walked to the store behind their parent's back or someone getting their car stuck in the dunes.\"\n\n\"Yeah. I know what you mean. Was there some kind of demonstration scheduled for today that we forgot about?\"\n\nJustin shrugged as the phone rang in the other room. Both men stood to listen to the call as the husky activated the screen.\n\n\"Qustoba Search and Rescue. How can we help you today, sir?\"\n\nThe man on the screen was using a wrist mounted comm device. His hair was ruffled from a helmet and there was a little dirt on his face.\n\n\"I'm, uh... lost somewhere in the western plain. My quad's out of fuel and none of my friends are answering.\"\n\n\"Do you have a GPS locator on your comm device?\"\n\nThe man nodded before looking over his shoulder.\n\n\"I think so. I don't know if it works though. The main screen was damaged a little while ago when I fell on it after a bad jump.\"\n\n\"We've got your signal, sir. Stay with your vehicle and someone will be with you shortly.\"\n\nThe sound of wind kicking up was picked up by the microphone in the device. The man put his helmet on and covered the space on the bottom with his other hand.\n\n\"Could you guys hurry? I hate to rush you, but a storm's on the way.\"\n\n\"No problem. We'll have a man out there shortly.\" He turned to look at the two foxes behind him. \"You guys want this one?\"\n\nJim nodded.\n\n\"I'll go get the truck.\"\n\nThe husky smiled as he walked out the door.\n\n\"It's good to have you back, Jim.\"\n\nThe fennec froze in the doorway before looking at the husky with a grin.\n\n\"It's good to be back.\"" } ]

That hefty stud stick deep in his throat, even though it was now only semi hard. The big Mule having blown his load sometime ago... the young Lion's mouth had proven remarkably talented. The old mule ruffled that thick mane with one big three fingered hand. As Dave sat back and let that long floppy black equine hose slip out of his throat.\n\n\"Ummmm that was good Doc.\" Dave moaned, smiling and licking his lip's as he smiled standing up easily.\n\n\"I get to try it next time.\" Jeremy snickered, as he watched the Mule draw that huge organ back up.\n\n\"Yes... of course you can.\" Dr. Palmer assured easily as he zipped his trousers and continued his examination. \"I can see you've both been taking you hormone treatments...\" \"Good muscle tone... so I can see no reason that you can't return to the active roster.\" \"I'll let Coach Murphy know you can start practicing again today... and should be fine to play in the game on Saturday.\" The big Mule paused as he though things over for a long moment and then grunted gruffly. \"If you have any trouble in the locker roo... with your teammates...\" \"Just tell the Coach or me... and we'll have a word with whoever it is.\" The Doctor and Coach had already warned the jocks on the team about bothering Doberman and Lion of course.\n\n\"Oh don't worry about us Doc...\" Jeremy called as he opened the office door, and strolled out.\n\n\"Yeah... we'll be just fine now...\" Dave the big golden Lion assured as he followed his best buddy out into the hallway.\n\n\"Oh I'm more worry about your teammates.\" The big Mule smirked under his breath, fondling his drained male hood gently. As he watched the two totally emasculated jocks stroll away, they're firm tight ass's swaying sexily. The white straps of their jock strap making a sexy contrast on the sleek and shiny fur. The big Mule snickered wondering why they had bothered to wear the under garments. Most likely just because the jock straps made those firm round ass's look so good.\n\n\\\\\\\n\nThe practice had gone very well, either Dave nor Jeremy had lost a step or a move. In fact Coach Murphy reflected, they seemed to play better without the hefty junk that had hung between their legs. 'Maybe I should have them do that to a couple of the other guys.' The huge older Tiger smirked, as he watched the brightly uniformed young jock stud's come prancing back into the locker room. He had noticed, that each of them had gotten more butt pats that the rest of the team put together. It seemed their teammates who had all heard, even though he and Dr. Palmer had worked to keep the boy's conditions a secret. So of course, now everyone on the team knew that the Lion and Doberman were cock and ball-less. And those previously innocent ass pats, had became more and more blatant and fondles and gropes. Clearly the young jocks were curious, and just as clearly Dave and Jeremy were less than modest. The way they strutted around, and allowed the other boy's to touch them through their uniforms. The big feline sensed, that things were going to happen once they all got in the locker room. So the big Tiger left his office door open, so that he could hear if things got to out of control. He'd step in and calm them down, rescue the pair of hapless neuters so they're parents wouldn't complain to the school broad.\n\n\\\\\\\n\nDave tossed his helmet into the locker, and then stripped off his jersey. Before working his shoulder pads over his shaggy mane, his tawny golden fur matted down to his sleek strong male body. \"That was a good Practice buddy.\" Jeremy grunted to his pal, as they both worked off their tight uniform pants. It was only as they stripped down to they're loose flat jock straps, that the noise and friend banter in the room suddenly went silent. The two sexless young jock's looked around curiously at their teammates, who were all suddenly watching them silently. Dave and Jeremy shared sly knowing smiles, as the other naked young jocks starred at them intensely. Turning away from their watchers, both of them bent over at the waist. As they slowly worked their loose fitting jock straps down their long sexy anthropomorphic legs. The room full of sweaty musky jocks starred open mouthed, as Dave and Jeremy did their teasing strip. When a loud raucous voice suddenly broke the silence, as the big roan equine licked his thick lip's.\n\n\"Oh yeah baby take it off.\" Cameron whinnied in lustful encouragement, as he fondled his huge equine cock. That broke the awkward silence, and all the others began to laugh and clap. Calling their own lewd encouragements, or perverse comments as most of them openly fondled themselves.\n\n\"Show us what ya got...\" Tony the big hefty Bear called with a nervous snickered, and then grunted as Rory the big Bull slugged him in the arm. Before calling out in a loud bellow that made the whole room burst into laughter.\n\n\"Show us what ya don't got anymore!\" Even Dave and Jeremy were laughing at that, as they stepped out of their jock straps. And then turned around to display the bright pink scars, where their heavy male jewels had once hung. Above that their limp sheath's gaped open, revealing the hot red tunnel inside.\n\n\"Whoa...\" The room full of horny young jocks moaned, as they saw what the Lion and Doberman had between they're legs.\n\n\"Daammmnnnn.\" Cameron moaned as he trotted up closer to get a better look, this action prompting the others to close in as well.\n\n\"Can... can I touch your scar?\" Tony the Bear asked excitedly as he pressed up against Jeremy, the tall black and tan Doberman smiling softly.\n\n\"Sure Tony... your more than welcomed to touch me anywhere.\" Jeremy answered, as suddenly a the paws of a dozen different guys where groping between his legs. Making the tall Doberman giggle wildly, as all those smooth fingers rubbed softly over his scarred flesh. \"Ohoooo...\" And then he moaned as someone slipped a finger into his empty sheath hole, glancing down he couldn't tell whose finger... fingers it was. Not that it mattered, those questing fingers felt damn good inside of him. \"Ummm hey guys...\" The sleek sexy Doberman moaned as he glanced over at Dave, the big Lion had both his paws around Cameron's long marbled stud stick. And was guiding it into his empty sheath hole, as the big roan stallion looked down at him gloatingly.\n\n\"So your the little sluts we're all going to bang for my birthday huh.\" The big stallion snorted, as the Lion's hot wet hole swallowed his big blunt cock head. Until the two of them were pressed muzzle to muzzle, the sexy golden feline craning his neck up. And suddenly Cameron's eye's shot open wide, as those soft fuzzy feline lip's pressed against his own. The big horny equine jock was startled, as his teammate kissed him gently. But quickly melted into that kiss, treating it like any other challenge. The big jock stud kissed back more aggressively, as if the kiss were a competition that he was playing to win. Even as Vince big black and white paint stallion, moved up to work his thick black stud stick up Dave's tight tail hole. The handsome golden Lion's mouth opening, as he moaned in surprise and pain. And then Cameron's long slick equine tongue was in his mouth, and the handsome feline was suckling on it. As the two big stallion's bounced him back and forth between them while they snorted in lust.\n\n\"Ummm... hey don't... don't hog all the stallion's.\" Jeremy moaned over at Dave, as Tony the chubby brown Bear pulled him onto that fat Ursine cock. And then even as he said that, Rory shoved a couple of feet of bovine cock up his tail hole. And the tall slender Doberman collapsed into the Bull's arm's, as he was treated just like his feline best friend. Rory sat back on the bench, bouncing him up and down on that hard cock. While Tony leaned over hammering that tight sheath hole savagely, even as Jerry the Wolf grasp the Doberman's muzzle. And introduced that handsome black and tan muzzle... to his huge red lupine rocket. As Jeremy glanced over and saw that true to what he'd been saying, Dave now had a third equine humping his muzzle like it was a slutty mare's sex. \"Ummmm...\" Jeremy moaned around that huge lupine boner, as Jerry rolled his hips humping franticly against that handsome black and tan muzzle. As Jeremy looked up at Tony as the heft Bear leaned over him, that short brown muzzle screwed up in a look of lustful concentration. And a suddenly delight racing through him as he realized this was exactly the position he'd been in his dream. On his back with a big horny male, thrusting deeply and lustfully into the hole between his leg's. His whole body quivered in delight as this naughty realization, and he moaned out the corner of his mouth. \"Ohoooo yeah rut me... rut my sheath hole!\"\n\n\\\\\\*\n\nCoach Murphy licked his soft furry feline lip's, as he watched the action through a slit in his office blinds. Things had obviously gotten out of hand, yet Jeremy and Dave were clearly enjoying it. Both of them had three cocks in them, and had for the past half hour. When one young jock stud would finish and pull his dripping cock out of one of their holes. He was quickly replaced by another horny young stud, the big older Tiger's huge paw slipped down into his stretchy sports shorts. To stroke over his long thick erection, as he watched the hot and heavy action. Everyone on the team took at less one go... some came back over and over again. Tony the young Ursine had fucked both of them twice, and was now standing there watching. And fondling himself, trying to get it up for yet another go. While Cameron the big red equine had Jeremy pinned down, and was brutally raping the Doberman's sloppy sheath hole. Even as the tall sleek black and tan canine howled in delight, while Denny a handsome red Stag was giving his tailhole the same treatment. Most of the other young jock studs had wandered off to the showers, to get cleaned up now that their lusts had been sated. As the Coach watched things slowly wind down, he couldn't help thinking about those slimy cum filled holes. Sure he was married, and had a couple of cub's older than these boys. But was finding the idea of what was happening highly erotic, true he'd played around with some guys in college. But then he'd married and settled down like a good jock stud... hoping to bang out the next generation. And all he'd managed was to father a gaggle of girls, true they were all good athletes... for females.\n\nNow here was this highly erotic spectacle, of hard young male bodies rutting and plunging. His big leathery paw rubbed up and down along his barbed organ again. As he watched Tony trying to get off once again, this time the fat brown Bear was having both Dave and Jeremy taking turns suckling on his semi hard cock. As Cameron at last staggered off to the showers, and Denny the red Stag was just exploding into Dave's sexy golden ass.\n\n\"Damn yer a better rut than Minnie!\" Denny moaned, as he sagged back onto the bench, even as Dave looked around at him and smiled.\n\n\"Anytime you want some more...\" Denny's muzzle brightened and he nodded quickly at the pair of them.\n\n\"May... maybe we could make this a regular thing.\" The red Stag half moaned, half pleaded as he climbed exasperatedly to his hooves.\n\n\"That IS what Jeremy and I were hoping for.\" The big golden Lion snickered, as he watched the Dobermans muzzle slide up and down Tony's weak erection.\n\n\"Yeah.\" Jeremy panted, as he pulled his suckling mouth off that semi hard ursine cock, and pasted it over to Dave. \"Where's the fun of having all those hot holes... if nobodies going to enjoy them.\" The sleek sexy young canine flashed the red Stag a leering grin, as he retreated towards the showers. \"Feel free to bring your friends...\" Jeremy called, as he went back to trying to tease another load out of Tony's weakly pulsing cock. While Dave took a few deep breath's, and watched his best friend eagerly work on pleasuring their Bruin teammate's cock.\n\n\"Uhumm Uhumm... Fuc...fuck I'm almost...\" Tony moaned as he tried to orgasm again, but his tight Ursine ball's were empty. But only a watery spurt of clear prostate juice escaped, as he slammed his crotch against Jeremy's wet black nose.\n\n\"Ammmm... thank you.\" The smiling Doberman moaned, as Tony's limp cock slithered out of his mouth. Leaving Jeremy panting for breath as he sat back on the locker room bench, clearly exhausted by what had happened to him. But just as clearly happy with everything he'd done, and had been done inside of him. Wearily he stood up and staggered over to his best friend and fellow cum slut, wrapping the handsome young Lion up in a tight embrace. \"Well was that as much fun for you as it was for me?\"\n\n\"Well... let's just say I don't think I'll be missing anything I use to have to tug on.\" Dave purred licking his lip's as he rubbed his flat sticky crotch against Jeremy's. \"Not when I've got all these other ones... slamming up my tail hole and down my throat.\"\n\n\"Hahaha... and up your sheath slit don't forget that one... I'm starting to think I like it better in there.\"\n\nDave's bright emerald green eye's glazed over, and his muzzle got that far away look.\n\n\"Yeah there is just something about having a guy on top of you, watching his muzzle as he ruts hard into you.\" The handsome golden Lion shivered wildly for a second, as he saw Cameron atop him rutting that hole between his leg's. The big equines expressive lip's curled up in a sneering grin, as he pounded away lustfully. Oddly it fulfilled a desire within the big Lion a secret desire for sexual passivity.\n\n\"Ummm Hummm.\" The sleek Doberman agreed, as the two of them shivered and rubbed their bodies together. Just then the door to Coach Murphy's office swung open, and the big Tiger motioned for them to come in.\n\nFIN" } ]

Her hand came up behind Ginny's head to hold it in place. After the initial shock of Luna kissing her, Ginny settled into the kiss, putting her paws on Luna's waist. Ginny could feel Luna's tongue at her lips, and parted them. Luna quickly slipped her tongue in between her friend's lips, and explored every part available to her.\n\nMeanwhile, Hermione watched the two girls passionately kissing. She felt a twinge of jealousy, so she stood up and moved closer to Ginny's bed. Both girls were constantly moaning into the kiss, and Hermione could hear Ginny start to purr. Luna and Ginny broke the kiss and saw Hermione standing next to the bed. \"There's plenty of room for you, Hermione,\" said Luna. She patted a spot behind her, beckoning Hermione to join them. The older girl moved in behind Luna, while the two younger girls began kissing again.\n\nDeciding she should do something, Hermione wrapped her arms around Luna, rubbing her cheek against the blond hair. Luna's hair was incredibly soft, softer than Hermione's own fur. She continued to rub her face through Luna's hair, while Luna and Ginny continued making out.\n\nAfter a long five minutes, Ginny and Luna broke apart, both breathing heavily. Luna looked behind her and smiled. Hermione shyly smiled back, and began rubbing her paws over Luna's back. Luna closed her eyes and began humming, her own hands moving towards Ginny. Ginny watched Luna as her hands began unbuttoning her pajama top. After the last button was undone, Ginny shrugged off the annoying garment and undid her own training bra. She felt the cool air hit her developing breasts, and watched Luna's eyes widen as the ginger cats' nipples hardened. Luna brought her hands back to Ginny's chest and began massaging her tender breasts.\n\nHermione had sneakily undone Luna's training bra without removing her shirt. She slipped a paw up the back of the shirt and moved it to Luna's chest. Luna gasped as she felt rough paw pads on her breast, but moaned when Hermione began squeezing. This caused Luna to squeeze Ginny's breast, resulting in Ginny purring even louder. After a few more minutes of squeezing breasts, the girls began undressing each other completely.\n\nGinny had pulled Luna's pajama bottoms off and tossed them in the corner of the room. Hermione had taken off her own shirt and bra and threw them with the rest of the clothing. Luna slowly dragged Hermione's pajama pants down to her ankles, while Ginny began working on Luna's panties. Luna finally succeeded in removing Hermione's pants, and turned around to face Ginny. She placed her hands on the waistband and began pulling down. Her ass was in the air facing Hermione, who couldn't help herself and smacked Luna's delectable bottom. Luna gave a tiny yelp and turned her head toward Hermione. She winked and went back to stripping Ginny of her panties. Hermione began removing Luna's panties, occasionally smacking her ass. Luna had successfully removed Ginny's panties and stared at the hybrid girl in awe. She could see the fur around Ginny's slit matted down with wetness. Hermione had removed Luna's panties and her own before admiring Luna's pale ass. She squeezed Luna's ass twice.\n\nThe girls couldn't take the waiting anymore. Ginny moved up so that her head was against the headboard; Luna straddled Ginny's stomach, facing her feet; Hermione straddled Ginny's face, facing Luna's exposed pussy. Luna was the first to do something. Her tongue came out and flicked across Ginny's exposed slit. She heard a moan as Ginny began licking Hermione's wet pussy. Hermione then began licking Luna's bald pussy. Each girl was moaning, but Hermione and Ginny were purring as well. The purring had another effect: extra vibrations were sent through the respective girls' pussies.\n\nHermione began grinding her pussy into Ginny's face, trying to get her tongue deeper. Ginny began thrusting toward Luna's tongue, which had successfully entered Ginny's pussy. Luna began rocking back and forth in time with the other two. Soon, all three girls felt their climax approaching and let out one loud moan. Hermione's cum dripped into Ginny's waiting mouth; Ginny's cum poured into Luna's waiting mouth; Luna's cum dripped into Hermione's waiting mouth. After what felt like an eternity, the girls collapsed on top of each other, exhausted and breathing heavily. Too tired to move, they fell asleep in the position they ended their escapade in.\n\n\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\n\nThe next morning, Hermione was the first to wake up. The first thing she saw was a pale ass in her face. She inhaled deeply and smelled Luna's scent from the night before. She tried moving, but stopped, thinking it would be impossible not to wake the sleeping second years. She felt a warm rush of air on her exposed pussy, and realized she had her ass and pussy shoved into Ginny's face. The rush of air was a steady rhythm, and Hermione knew that Ginny was still fast asleep.\n\nLuna, however, had woken up at the small movement by Hermione. She felt something against her ass and wiggled it a few times. A short intake of breath came from behind her, so she turned around to see Hermione. Luna smiled, winked, and slowly removed herself from the bed. Hermione carefully followed suit, trying her best not to wake Ginny. After successfully climbing out of the bed, Hermione headed toward the bathroom. She felt someone grab her arm and saw Luna. Luna shook her head, nodding toward Ginny.\n\nNot understanding what Luna wanted, she again tried heading into the bathroom. She got halfway across the bathroom before Luna tackled her to the floor. Pinned, Hermione tried desperately to free herself, but could not. She felt Luna sitting just above her ass, feeling naked skin against her fur. \"Luna, what are you doing,\" whispered Hermione.\n\n\"I don't want Ginny feeling left out. It would be unfair for her if the two of us showered without her.\" Hermione had no idea Luna had this much planned for them.\n\n\"Luna, what makes you think Ginny will want to shower with anyone?\" There was silence. \"Luna? I know you're still there, I can feel you sitting on me.\" She tried looking around but couldn't move that far. She went back to her original position and noticed a pair of furry, orange legs.\n\n\"Well, it looks like Miss Granger will have to be punished for her selfishness. What do you think, Luna?\"\n\n\"Oh, I totally agree, Ginny. We need to teach her a lesson in respect. Would you like me to start the lesson, or would you?\"\n\n\"Oh, I think you can start. Just give me a second.\" Ginny moved back to her bed and retrieved her wand from underneath the mattress. She pointed it at Hermione and said \"Petrificus Totalus.\" Hermione stiffened as the Full-Body Bind hit her. Luna stood up and looked down at Hermione.\n\n\"Thank you, Ginny. That will make this lesson a lot easier to teach.\" Luna moved in front of Hermione so she could see her new teacher. \"Because you were unable to respect one of your lovers, you shall be punished. We will give you a choice. Blink once for the first choice, and blink twice for the second. Your first choice of punishment is to be tickled until you promise to never, ever disrespect one of your lovers again. Your second choice is to be spanked until your bottom is redder than Ginny's fur. So, what is your choice?\"" } ]

I'm sick, and it was a writing exercise, to me. Apparently I write well enough for furs even when I'm unwell, and Jenayre and Vac were very well received, so...\n\nFor the record, yes, I'm still sick, yes I'm still mostly out of it, and yes, I still don't think I'm writing up to my normal personal standards. This is, like the previous story, unedited, untampered, pretty darn raw writing. I'd push myself to make it better, but... well, then I'd have to push myself.

You know you want to. Vac'll follow you into the woods and suck your dick if you do\\. And if you're female... well... that's... your problem? \\hides\\\n\n Fae\n\nExtended Training\n\n\"I simply do not understand,\" Jenayre muttered, shaking his head slowly. \"Animus is a fine warrior, to be sure. Perhaps he is even one of the most skilled amongst us. But he is so... so...\" The young fox threw up his arms in exasperation and growled quietly. \"I do not understand!\"\n\nThe vulpine sat still where he had been for the past hour, resting against a tree trunk at the edge of his tribe's current camp. His loincloth, long since discarded, rested with one of its fellows off to the side, leaving Jenayre completely unclothed. His red fur rippled in the cool breeze of the summer night as he grumbled.\n\nBeside him sat a slightly older example of his tribe and his friend, Vac. Slightly taller and a couple seasons older than Jenayre, Vac's black hair reached further down his back than the younger fox's, waving in the gentle wind as he chuckled. \"There is little that can be understood about females, my friend,\" he responded gently, one paw softly petting Jenayre's leg.\n\nThose words only seemed to add fuel to the fire. \"But there must be some reason beyond simply his skill as a warrior!\" he protested, one of his own paws absently petting back at Vac's. \"You are close to approaching the time of your own final challenge; you must know what drives them so!\" As he spoke, Jenayre's eyes lit up and he turned quickly to face the older vulpine. \"You can teach me! You can tell me what I must do, so that-\"\n\n\"No,\" Vac gently interrupted, still smiling. \"It is not something that can be taught, Jenayre. Here.\" Slowly Vac sat up, turning slightly to more fully face Jenayre. \"What is it that separates Creation from darkness? Life, as we, from demons?\"\n\nJenayre shuddered softly at that one word, 'demon'. A warrior in training, he knew that one day it would be his duty to defend home and family from the darkness spilling out of the underworld far to the east, deep within the Borderlands. That he knew it was his future did not make him any more willing to know a demon's wrath firsthand. \"The Second Gift of the Gods? Magic?\"\n\nRolling his eyes, Vac lightly swatted Jenayre's arm. \"You think too practically.\" Reaching forward, Vac lightly touched his paw against Jenayre's chest. \"It is heart. It is spirit. It is the soul, Jenayre, which separates us. And love is something born purely from spirit, from heart. For a being with no heart, or no knowledge of true spirit, love is but a shadow of base lust, of darker desires.\"\n\nFrowning, Jenayre looked down at the paw on his chest. \"Then this is why only the warriors that have proven themselves as adults of the Tashik are given the right to take a mate,\" he said slowly. \"They have shown they possess true spirit and can fully appreciate love.\" Jenayre paused for a moment, blushing brightly as he thought back an hour before. \"Then... then what we did... was that...\"\n\n\"Bad?\" Vac snorted and chuckled, dropping his paw away from Jenayre's chest and resuming the gentle stroking of the younger fox's thigh. \"No. It is unhealthy for a warrior to be so consumed by thoughts... regardless which end of his body they are spawned from. More than that, it is unsafe. Tashik must be firm of mind and strong of body. And while we must too be strong of mind... being firm of body is more appropriate for a candle-lit bed than the eternal night of the demonic Borderlands. A distraction in battle, any distraction in battle, can be fatal. You know well how deadly the demons are to the children of the Gods.\"\n\nBlushing a little brighter under his fur, Jenayre gave a soft nod. \"But what does this have to do with Kitaya, and why she would never consider me as a mate?\"\n\nVac leaned back against the tree trunk and closed his eyes, smiling softly. \"Because Animus has proven himself, Jenayre. Because he has shown her he has heart. Because he has shown her that he has spirit, and that he will fight and die to defend her, if it comes to that.\"\n\n\"But I would do that as well!\" protested Jenayre. \"She simply does not see it because she is too busy chasing that empty-headed loaf of a Tashik. If she were open to the thought, if she knew how I felt... if-\"\n\n\"If this, and if that, and if the other.\" Vac shook his head and sighed. \"Jenayre, this is the way of the Tashik. This is how we exist. You are not the only one to be burned by the flames of love. I have, myself, and I would never wish it on anyone, least of all on any friend of mine, as you are.\" Slowly Vac hung his head, closing his eyes. \"This will not be the first time you will chase someone you cannot have, Jenayre, nor will it be the last.\"\n\nOnce again Vac lifted his head, smiling softly over at Jenayre. \"We are yet young, my friend, and we will find those whom we are fated to be with. Kitaya is not your destiny. She may not be Animus' destiny, either, but you must accept that she is not yours.\"\n\nSighing quietly, Jenayre shook his head. \"If that is the case, then what am I to do?\" he asked. \"I feel this strongly, Vac. It would not be so obvious to you if it were not something that had consumed my heart fully.\"\n\nSmiling a little wider, Vac gave a slow nod. \"I know. And I know this of you, Jenayre; as long as I have known you, you have been passionate in everything you have done. I suspect that there will always be someone you will be chasing after. Unless...\"\n\nJenayre's ears perked up, tail stiffening in the breeze as he jerked his head up towards Vac. \"Unless...? Does this mean that you know of a way that I may have her?\"\n\nLaughing quietly as he rolled his eyes again, Vac shook his head. \"No, my friend, I do not. Nor would I tell you, if I knew of such a way. Tearing her from the one who keeps her heart would be wrong of me, and of you.\" Grinning now, Vac met Jenayre's gaze and released a soft murr. \"No... I think you merely need something else with which to vent your spare energy upon. Fantasies that can be enacted, and not cause you anguish.\"\n\nCocking his head to the side and flattening one ear back, Jenayre frowned slightly as he regarded his friend's coy expression. \"I do not understand,\" he said slowly, \"Unless you refer to what we did earlier. You... your muzzle...\"\n\nVac simply laughed again and shook his head. \"No, though I would be happy to indulge you if you have such a request again. No, my friend... I think you are feeling a great need to mate. Not to simply release yourself. To mount and to mate and to breed and to seed... and I believe I may be of some assistance to you there, as well.\"\n\nNow, Jenayre felt his blush spreading fully across both cheeks, flesh burning under his fur even as his sheath twitched in the cool air. \"Y-you could? But... we... I cannot, Vac...\"\n\n\"And why, my friend, might that be?\" Vac asked. His smile became predatory, as if on the hunt as he slowly rolled himself forward and onto his paws and knees, slipping steadily closer to Jenayre.\n\nEven as he watched his friend approaching him, Jenayre couldn't help but hear a soft squeak slip from between his lips, his sheath continuing to respond to something his rational mind could not comprehend. \"B-because... you... you are male, too... I... I d-do not know how we could...\"\n\nOne paw slowly slipped down alongside Jenayre's waist, the other caressing the younger vulpine's side as Vac pulled himself closer. \"I would not expect you to know yet,\" he replied slowly, that dangerous-looking grin showing off every sharp tooth in his muzzle. \"But I assure you, my friend... with your blessing, you soon will...\"\n\nJenayre could only softly nod, his glance dropping down as he felt Vac's hand slipping up and over his waist. He blushed brighter still under his fur as he saw the tip of his vulpine length quickly starting to slip free, a shiver running up his spine as the night's breeze caught his shaft. A single fingertip stroked gently over his tip, drawing a fresh shiver of pleasure through him as his back arched slightly, pressing his body up and against his friend's paw. \"M-my blessing...?\"\n\nHis fingers slowly trailing back and forth over Jenayre's tip, Vac smirked as he leaned in and over his friend's chest, nosing gently into his chin. \"Of course with your blessing, Jenayre,\" he responded softly, crawling up and over the younger fox's legs, gradually straddling them. \"I would never force this on anyone, least of all one whom I hold such care for.\"\n\nAnother whimper escaped Jenayre's lips, his growing shaft throbbing harder as Vac's paw lightly wrapped around it. His hips jumped slightly as Vac gave his malehood a gentle but firm squeeze, a soft moan parting his lips. \"Th-then I am glad... mrrrf... how are your paws so s-soft...? I am very, very glad for you to show me...\"\n\n\"And I, my friend, am glad to show you.\" Vac smiled as he leaned in slowly, licking gently over Jenayre's chin as his free hand slipped around the younger fox's waist. He lowered himself against his friend's body, each warm and soft against the other as slowly, so slowly, Vac touched his lips against Jenayre's.\n\nThis time, it was more than Jenayre's hips that twitched. His whole body shook as his eyes widened, freezing up completely in a mixture of pleasure and confusion. That soon melted away as his eyes closed, a quiet murr vibrating his lips against Vac's as he leaned up into the kiss, his arms reaching up to wrap around the older fox and draw him tighter against himself.\n\nVac leaned gently into the kiss, making no move to deepen it even as his paw started to slowly pump up and down around Jenayre's firm shaft. Echoes of earlier in the night flooded Vac's mind, even as the taste of Jenayre's lips mixed with the still-strong taste of the younger vulpine's seed on his tongue. His own sheath swelling as he softly murred back against his friend, Vac gently squeezed Jenayre against himself, embracing him tightly in the warm night.\n\nIf time slowed down for Jenayre the first time he felt Vac's paw or tongue touching his malehood, then an eternity passed in the seconds their lips touched. The world around them froze, and the young fox became aware intimately of every inch of Vac's body touching his own, every fur, every fingertip, his pawpads, his bellyfur rubbing against the underside of his shaft, even the brushing of his friend's tail against his leg. All of it in perfect, visceral detail.\n\nSomething awakened in Jenayre, a raw need that he'd never truly felt before. Suddenly his shaft throbbed insistently, his body shaking as his arms tightened around Vac, drawing his friend tighter still against himself. A spurt of pre shot up and across Vac's chest and belly as Jenayre pressed hard up into the kiss, completely driven by this new passion burning through his veins.\n\nJenayre began to push forward, meeting the kiss with growing need. His fingertips began to press more firmly into Vac's back as he ground his body against that of his friend, groaning softly with pleasure into the kiss as he felt the older vulpine's shaft rubbing firmly against his own. His hips bucked slightly, teasing his malehood further along Vac's even as he felt the other fox's body draw back from his own.\n\nJenayre moved with him, his back leaving the trunk of the tree he'd leaned against as he held the kiss eagerly. He lay slowly atop Vac as his friend's back came to rest against the grass, his paws slowly roaming over the warm body beneath him. Every thud of Vac's heart was felt against Jenayre's chest, and every twitch of his hips could be felt by the younger fox's paws as they drifted over his waist.\n\nFinally eternity faded away and time returned to Jenayre's mind. Blushing brightly under his cheeks as his awareness came back to him, he started to gently draw back from the kiss, lifting his body off Vac's slightly. \"I... I am s-sorry,\" he stammered, looking down at Vac's face, the older fox's eyes still closed, both vulpines softly panting. \"I do not... I do not know what came over me...\"\n\nFor a long moment Vac gave no response, before his smile slowly widened and one eye cracked open. \"That... my young friend, was you showing just how you need this,\" he replied softly, smile only growing wider still. Vac's gaze drifted down over Jenayre's body as he opened both eyes. \"And it seems as though your need has settled on a target.\"\n\nLooking confused, Jenayre slowly looked down over himself, following Vac's gaze. His blush burned brighter than he'd ever felt it before as he realized that his hips had moved again without his knowledge, pumping his shaft slowly back and forth against one of Vac's thighs. His tip left a slick trail of pre in Vac's fur as it moved, matting the fur slightly and slickening his malehood as he moved. \"Gods... I am sorry, Vac-\"\n\n\"Jenayre.\" Vac's voice was firm but gentle as he tilted the younger vulpine's chin up, his smile warm and friendly. \"You cannot offend me with your actions when I brought this on. I invited this, and I gladly follow through for, and with, you.\" Slowly his paw slipped up from Jenayre's chin, cupping his friend's cheek as he leaned in for a short, gentle nuzzle, his eyes never leaving Jenayre's. \"If you would allow me, it would be my pleasure to be as a mate for you, for tonight.\"\n\nStill brightly blushing even as he nodded, Jenayre leaned into Vac's paw and closed his eyes. \"I still do not know what to do,\" he said slowly. \"I do not know how it... would work. If you will help me, if you will be patient with me... then I would be honoured to be with you tonight, as well.\"\n\nVac simply nodded, nosing softly against Jenayre's cheek as he murred softly. His other paw stroked gently down over the other fox's side and slipped over Jenayre's hips, fingers trailing lightly down along his friend's malehood. \"Do not fear, my friend. I promise, I will take very good care of you.\"\n\nShivering softly, Jenayre nodded again and pressed his body tight against Vac once again. His shaft throbbed at the older Tashik's touch, a soft moan escaping his lips as he felt Vac's paw fully encircle his length. Once again his shaft pulsed in his friend's grasp, as fresh pre began to dribble from his tip and across Vac's fingers.\n\nDropping his paw slowly from Jenayre's cheek, Vac gently wrapped his arm around the younger fox's middle, stroking and rubbing over the small of his back and the base of his tail. He lay back further, spreading his legs around Jenayre with a smile, tail splayed out beneath him. Fingers gently tugging at Jenayre's shaft even as they rubbed back and forth over the sensitive flesh, Vac began to guide Jenayre's tip down towards his rump.\n\nJenayre's eyes opened and widened as he felt his tip pressing up and against Vac's warm entrance, his eyes almost trying to flick down for a moment as if to try and see, to try and understand. He groaned quietly once more as he felt Vac slowly rubbing his shaft back and forth over that tight ring of muscle, slowly slickening it with his pre even as the older vulpine started to grind back against him.\n\nAlmost immediately Jenayre felt that same intense need surge through him once again, his hips trembling as he fought to drive them forward. His body screamed at his restraint, all but begging him to be allowed to push in hard and deep, to claim the vulpine beneath him as his, to mate and to rut. He still resisted though a whimper escaped his lips as his back arched, grinding back against Vac's backside just that much more insistently.\n\nThe older vulpine must have felt the same need, squeezing Jenayre tightly but holding him still as he started to push backwards. His own shaft standing tall in the night air, Vac groaned quietly as he felt that familiar, insistent pressure against his tailhole, eased by Jenayre's slick pre spread over his tip.\n\nIn his life, Jenayre had felt many, many things... but nothing at all prepared him for the moment he felt his shaft slowly moving forward and into Vac. The feel of that tight ring gradually giving way as the older fox pushed himself back against Jenayre's length, of one inch and then another and then another being enveloped in snug, tight warmth... every single second was overwhelming to the inexperienced fox.\n\nFor his part, Vac simply worked himself back, eyes closed as he savoured the feel of his friend's shaft sinking slowly deeper and deeper inside him, stretching himself out around Jenayre's malehood. His back arched as he raised his hips pressing back harder until finally, with a sigh of content, he felt Jenayre's shaking hips pressed tightly up against his backside, every last inch buried deep inside. \"Mmrrrf... how does it feel?\" Vac asked, his voice shaking a little as he squeezed gently down around Jenayre's hilted shaft.\n\nThe only response from Jenayre was a deep, low, quiet moan of pleasure. The young fox had nothing to say, no words that could describe it. It was not a female beneath him, his body knew this as well as his mind did, but at the same time, it didn't matter in the slightest. Mating need, breeding instincts filled his mind, and he let his lower body speak for him, his hips pressing firmly against Jenayre's rump and grinding hard into it, drawing a gasped moan of surprise from the fox beneath him.\n\nJenayre wasted no time, and his body would not allow him to even if his mind wanted him to. He drew back slowly, a couple of inches of his malehood pulling back from the tight embrace of Vac's body before pressing forward again, experimentally rocking his hips back and forth. Pleasure seemed to explode from his shaft as he moved, far more intense than he would have thought possible, even for his first attempt at such an act.\n\nHis hips quickly settled into a rhythm of their own accord. While Jenayre reigned in his urge to simply grab Vac's shoulders and rut him like a female in heat begging for it, he instead allowed his hips to smoothly pump back and forth, shaft throbbing needfully within his friend. He groaned quietly as he squeezes his eyes shut, concentrating solely on the feelings emanating from his malehood.\n\nVac wrapped his legs around Jenayre's waist as he leaned back against the grass, laying his head down and closing his own eyes. He wrapped one hand around his own length, grasping it tightly and milking a dribble of his pre over his fingers even as he worked his inner muscles down around Jenayre's shaft, squeezing it tighter as he pressed himself back into his friend's thrusts.\n\nMoaning louder still, Jenayre blushed brightly as he felt, as with earlier that night, his ability to hold himself back starting to slip. He bit his lower lip as he moaned again, squeezing his eyes closed tighter as he fought to hold himself back, if only to feel that delicious pleasure for longer, completely unwilling to spill his seed too soon.\n\nAs if sensing Jenayre's troubles, Vac opened his eyes and regarded the younger fox, a grin spreading across his face even as he watched Jenayre's internal struggle playing about on his face. Struck with a sudden idea that only spread his grin even wider, Vac, reached down and under himself with both paws, suddenly grasping Jenayre's rapidly inflating knot. One hand cradled behind it, squeezing tightly while the other grasped the front, just to keep it from popping forward when the inevitable thrusts came.\n\nThose thrusts came almost instantly. Jenayre released an almost choked-off cry of pleasure as his hips lunged forward, his instincts driving him to stuff that thick knot deep within the female beneath him, to tie himself to his mate. He felt his control shred completely as his body shook, his head tilting back and muzzle opening in a wordless, soundless cry of pleasure. His shaft throbbed hard inside Vac, the older fox's moans oddly dampened upon reaching Jenayre's ears, drowned out by the pure sensation of his shaft erupting deep within the fox beneath him.\n\nVac squirmed beneath him, squeezing tightly around Jenayre's shaft, milking it for every drop as he felt the younger vulpine unloading himself up and inside himself. His own moans and cries were much quieter than Jenayre's, the older fox's shaft throbbing firmly but not even close yet to his own climax, content for the moment to drain his friend inside him.\n\nWhen Jenayre finally regained control of his body he slumped forward slightly, panting heavily. His eyes opened up after a moment, his knot still grinding up against Vac's restraining paws as he looked down at his friend's face. \"Wh... why did you... did you do that?\" he asked breathlessly.\n\n\"Because it was going to happen anyway,\" Vac replied quietly with a knowing smile. \"I was the same way my first time. The male I was with, he did to me what I did to you just now... and I was almost upset with him, until he asked me something.\"\n\nLooking confused, Jenayre licked his lips and cocked his head to the side. \"What... what did he ask?\"\n\nLeaning forward now to lick warmly over Jenayre's lips, Vac slowly winked. \"You still want to mate, don't you? You want to do it again, yes?\"\n\nNow looking even more confused, Jenayre thought about that for a moment. His shaft, still hard as stone, throbbed warmly within Vac's rump, caressed by the light squeezes of his friend's inner muscles. And even as he thought he knew it was true, that he did want to go again, that his body was not done mating yet that night.\n\nVac chuckled, easily recognising the expression written across Jenayre's face. \"Exactly... if it happens so fast, one is never enough, not for you, not for me, not for any Tashik I have ever mated with.\" He murred softly as he winked again. \"And you have now seeded me... rather thoroughly, from the feel of it. Where you needed to be gentle earlier... well, suffice to say my friend that, when you're ready, you can let yourself go completely.\"\n\nAt even the thought of that Jenayre's shaft pulsed, throbbing hard inside Vac's seed-slickened insides. He felt it again, if not as strong as before but just as alluring, that need to mate building up once more inside him. He murred softly as he ground himself once more against Vac's restraining paws, feeling his sensitive knot come alive with tingles of electric pleasure. \"When I... I mean next time, can I...\"\n\nChuckling quietly once again, Vac nodded. \"Yes, Jenayre,\" he answered the unfinished question, smiling as he slowly removed his paws from the younger vulpine's knot, resting them instead on Jenayre's hips. \"Yes, you most certainly may tie me. I know of other males in the tribe who are certainly not fond of being tied, but you are fortunate enough to have one of those who enjoy it, tonight.\"\n\nJenayre needed no more words to be spoken. He knew all he needed to know, and his body was beginning to once more burn with his need. He grinned back down at Vac, leaning in over him and planting a soft kiss on the older fox's chest as he pressed his hips forward once again, moving forward until he felt his still-swollen knot bump against Vac's still tight tailhole.\n\nFor a moment he remained there, grinding and pushing his knot experimentally up against that tight ring of muscle, feeling it resist that girth at first and gradually start to relax against it. He felt it starting to stretch out, to yield to the pressure his hips were exerting, and with a quiet murr he drew back and away from it again.\n\nHe started much as he had before, his hips rocking gently back and forth, his hips lightly touching Vac's rump with every slow thrust. His friend's tight passage felt hotter around his shaft than before, if it were even possible, as if the slickness of his spurted seed had imparted some of the heat of his own body to Vac. Those snug inner muscles still squeezed down around Jenayre's shaft as he pressed inwards, just as tight as they had been when he first pressed inside Vac, though a part of Jenayre knew to savour the feeling. After all, it would not be quite so snug once he started in earnest.\n\nSqueezing tightly at Vac's sides, Jenayre withdrew his malehood almost all the way out, leaving only his tip still inside his friend's backside. With a deep moan of pleasure and need he pushed himself in hard back to the hilt, stuffing every last inch back within Vac's hot tailhole, feeling every inch of his shaft rubbed by his inner walls. Again he drew his hips back, and again he drove himself in hard, just as Vac had invited him to.\n\nBeneath Jenayre, Vac released a soft gasp as he felt his friend's shaft pushing into him. While he'd told Jenayre he could, Vac had not been certain that the younger fox would take advantage of the invitation. As he felt that tapered tip grind against his prostate as it was buried deep inside him though, the older vulpine released a grateful moan, and as he wrapped a paw quickly around his own malehood he silently begged for Jenayre to take his time, and to take him harder.\n\nThe former was all but guaranteed as Jenayre started a smooth, hard rhythm with his hips, not pushing himself too hard just yet, but letting his instincts start to take over. He revelled in the feeling, of letting himself go, of feeling his need to mate finally being sated for the first time since he'd first felt it, three seasons earlier. He felt freedom as his body shook with pleasure, shaft pulsing hard and spurting little shots of pre against Vac's inner walls, driving himself a little harder with every thrust. And at the same time, the inevitable need to release his seed was building up far, far more slowly, just as Vac had promised him, giving him plenty of time to enjoy the act itself.\n\nHis hips bucked as he gradually relinquished his control. He ceased to be Tashik and became as a feral beast, with the simple need to mate at the forefront of his mind, and everything else fading deep into the background. His hips rolled as he pumped himself into Vac's rump again and again, driving himself harder and harder down into his friend's tight confines, spreading his inner walls around his malehood, shaft throbbing with every beat of his heart.\n\nJenayre's legs spread out slightly further, drawing Vac's own legs with them as he pulled the older fox closer, drawing him up as Jenayre drove his shaft down into him. Vac moaned deeply as he felt himself pulled into place for Jenayre to take him harder, obligingly spreading his legs wider around Jenayre's waist, offering his body up to be taken by his young friend. His paw started to rapidly work up and down his own malehood in time with Jenayre's thrusts, knot beginning to swell at the base of his length.\n\nIt wouldn't have mattered in the slightest to Jenayre at that time if Vac was doing anything to help him. He was locked purely in his pleasure, in the fulfilment of mating, truly mating, for the first time in his life. His body all but burned with delight as his malehood was squeezed and caressed by his friend's inner walls, as he felt himself sheathed completely and fully within the body of another. His hips rocked and pumped and pounded absent of his mind, working to fulfil the most basic bodily function, eagerly working to bring Jenayre greater pleasure, enticing the young fox to spill yet more of his seed.\n\nVac could do nothing but help Jenayre, rapidly becoming drunk on his own pleasure as his friend rode him against the ground. His chest and stomach soaked with pre and sweat, fur matted and messy, nostrils filled with nothing but the scent of rutting male and need, pure and overwhelming need. He bucked himself back against Jenayre's thrusts, squeezing down around the thick length pistoning back and forth within him, eagerly grasping it with his muscles each time it was pushed up and inside him, relaxing slightly as Jenayre drew it back for another thrust.\n\nTheir two bodies worked back and forth against each other as Jenayre dug his fingers into Vac's side, moaning loudly as he tightly squeezed his friend, pulling him up and into every sharp buck of his hips. Unlike earlier in the night there were no fantasies in his head. No males, no females. No Vac, no Kitaya, no one. There was nothing but fulfilment, the divine, nerve-igniting pleasure of mating for the first time, sensations and feelings and sounds and scents that filled his mind, drove him onwards, coaxed him with every second towards his climax.\n\nHe lost track of time. He lost track of the world around him. He even lost track of Vac beneath him. Jenayre's body itself seemed to fade from his awareness, working by itself as his mind became detached, completely consumed by the feelings. His body shook and trembled, he heard Vac's cries and pants and moans of pleasure, he felt his friend squeezing tightly around his malehood. The scent of their shared musk, of their seed and sweat and need touched everything, saturating the air in spite of the soft breeze at that point all but forgotten by both vulpines.\n\nReality snapped back into place as Jenayre felt his need exploding deep inside him. Suddenly the urge to seed Vac anew erupted, flooding his mind and body both with intense pleasure. Jenayre's hips slammed back and forth faster and harder than before as he fought to bring himself right to the edge. His knot rammed again and again and again against Vac's tailhole, stretching it a little more every time it was so harshly pushed against, Jenayre's knot desperately working to pop inside.\n\nWhen it happened, it was like the entire world exploded. Vac's fingers had simulated a tie when he'd brought Jenayre to orgasm earlier, but to actually feel it, for real... for his knot to suddenly be trapped within the body of another, to feel them squeezing down so, so tightly around it, for them to be writhing in pleasure around his shaft... In a single heartbeat, Jenayre's world whited out completely, and all he could feel was his malehood pulsing hard, knot throbbing firmly against Vac's tightly stretched inner walls, and his fluids desperately rushing up and along his length.\n\nJenayre screamed out his pleasure, arching his back and throwing his head back. He roared as his tip erupted deep inside Vac, a flood of his seed, hot and thick and more voluminous than anything he'd shot in his life spilling out and into his friend. Where he dared to think that his malehood, knot and all had filled Vac completely, his orgasm totally shattered that thought. Jet after heated jet shot deep inside the older fox, Vac shaking under Jenayre as he rapidly worked his paw over his own slickened shaft, Vac's tip erupting just as hard and spurting its own thick shots up and into Jenayre's chestfur.\n\nThe word 'intense' could hardly describe the electric feelings alighting every one of Jenayre's nerves in those moments. Every twitch, every pulse, every spurt of his malehood sent a new, more powerful wave of ardent pleasure through his veins. Every squeeze, every jerk, every groan of Vac beneath him only added to his pleasure, driving him onward. He rode out his orgasm as his impassioned cries faded to deep moans of fulfilled pleasure, hips grinding firmly up against the older vulpine's rump, eager to keep every last throbbing inch of his spurting shaft buried inside.\n\nWhen finally the pleasure lifted from Jenayre's mind like a veil, the world returned to his sight and almost all strength left his body. He slumped back hard against the trunk of the tree behind him, groaning quietly in the afterglow of his pleasure. He panted heavily as he slowly opened one eye, looking down at Vac beneath him, a bright blush tinting his cheeks beneath his fur once again at the sight.\n\nVac, it seemed, was out cold. One of the fox's paws was still tightly wrapped around his shaft, and Jenayre could see the trail of where it had spurt his friend's climax up and onto himself. It only caused Jenayre to blush brighter when he saw the thicker, more voluminous mess soaked all through Vac's chest and neckfur; at some point, it seemed, he'd brought Vac to an earlier climax without even knowing it. The expression on the unconscious fox's face was one of calmed bliss, obviously locked in his own afterglow, despite his lack of consciousness.\n\nJenayre settled himself back against the trunk of the tree and closed his eye once again, a soft, quiet murr escaping his lips. His body shivered as the breeze picked up for a moment, lifting the scent of their deeds right up to the young Tashik's nostrils, filling them with the evidence of their mating. The scent sent a shiver up Jenayre's spine as he murred deeper, smiling wide as he leaned back into the tree.\n\nFor the first time, Jenayre felt his needs sated, felt the desire to mate not still lingering in his mind. It almost felt as if he was free of a burden, no longer trapped with the same thoughts circling his mind. Not that he'd ever thought of such a thing as what had just happened as a way that would finally satisfy him.\n\nOf course, however, his mind swiftly turned to the next time he could find some time alone with Vac... and what, perhaps, the older fox could then teach him...\n\nThere you go!

He looked across the room, letting his eyes fall upon his fox friend. The fox put a finger to his head and closed his eyes to think. Kenta leaned back in his blue chair and put his legs up in his chair and put his arm around them.\n\n\"We, well, we could go to the beach?\" the fox replied. Kenta looked at him,\"Sure, but you'll have to ask my mom.\" he said happily. The fox grinned happy too. \"Sure thing.\" he replied, getting off the couch. He walked into the kitchen, Kenta following right behind him.\n\n\"Kenta's mom was washing dishes. \"Ms. Kirue, can Kenta come with me to the beach this weekend?\" the fox said nicely. There had been times when they went together, so of course she said yes. \"But under three conditions first.\" she announced.\n\n\"One, you have to stay together, no wondering off by yourself Kenta!\" she said. She still treated him like a pup, but he didn't mind. \"Two, you must be in bed by eleven.\" The two furs shook their heads in complience. \"And finally, Kenta, you have to wash these dishes for me.\" Kenta gave a soft sigh, and began to wash the dishes. \"Kenta, can you talk with me for a few minuts?\" she asked. The fox answered a \"yes\" and follwoed her into another room.\n\n\"Ok, I'll go ahead and tell you.\" she said. \"I suppose he forgot, but tomorrow is his birthday and I wanted you to get him something from the two of us. He will be sixteen, so, could you Jake?\" Jake shook his head yes and shouted to Kenta he'd pick him up in the mourning and left.\n\n\"Kenta hurried throught the dishes and went to pack. He grabbed a gym bag and put in some clothes, trunks, an unblown up ball, money, and some other necessary things. Kenta's mom told him to go to bed and he took off his shirt and climed in. He layed in bed for hours, to excited to sleep. He stayed like that untill tiredness crept onto him, and he fell asleep.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\n\n\"Hey, sleepy head, time to wake up.\" Jake said to the sleeping wolf. He began to tickle his sleeping friends grey and black feet. The youth woke up laughing tiredly. \"Please, stop, I'm ticklish there. Jake looked at his laughing captive. \"Only if you hurry and get dressed so we can go.\" Jake said, leaveing his friends foot alone.\"Ok!\" Kenta replied, leaping up and hugging Jake. [He's older but still acts like a pup, silly thing]Jake thought to himself.\n\n\"Mnn, Kenta, your chocking me.\" Jake lied. He didn't want to stay like that for long, it already seemed yiffy. Kenta let go. \"Oh, sorry.\" he said, blushing a little.\n\nKenta rushed, putting on his shirt, new pants, grabbing his bag and running out the door. \"Ok, lets go.\" Kenta exclaimed, makeing Jake jump up from running past him. Jake grabbed his own bag and ran after him. They both yelled a \"Goodbye\" to Kenta's mom.\n\nThey finally met up with each other, Kenta too tired to run any further. They walked quickly until they finally reached the train station. \"Two please\" Jake said to the ticket seller. They each took one, and borded the train. A rather large bear came by and clipped everyones tickets, and then the train began to move.\n\n\"Um, Jake.\" Kenta wispred to Jake. Jake looked down at the wolf, his eyes sleepy. \"What is it?\" Jake asked. The wolf looked up at him. \"Could I rest my head on your shoulders for awile, I didn't get much sleep.\" the wolf said tiredly. Jake smiled, \"Ok course you can, you didn't have to ask.\" Kenta smiled back, then put his head on Jakes shoulders, and slowly began to fall asleep.\n\nThey sat like that for awile. Jake looked down at his sleeping friend. The sun was gleaming throught the window, and on to Kenta. Jake blushed a little, glad the young wolf couldn't see it. Jake set his head onto Kenta's, and drifted to sleep aswell.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\n\nThe two furs had awaken around the same time, and got off the train. It took them almost right to the sand. They climed out and went into a tent to change. They both took off their shirts. Their eyes met, and quickly looked away. They took off their underclothes, and put on swimming trunks. They picked up their bags and found a spot. Jake put two blankets down to mark their spot. Kenta blew up the ball and they both ran for the ocean.\n\nKenta threw the ball up and hit it towards Jake. They continued to do this until it went for Jake and he dived and it it and it knocked Kenta in the head and he feel. Jake came running throught the water, and ended up getting slashed. \"Hey, want to get some ice cream?\" Jake asked Kenta. Kenta shook his yes and they bought some. They spent the rest of the day eating ice cream and playing in the water, and building sand castles. Before they left, Kenta buried Jake in the sand and almost left him.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\n\n\"You were going to leave me wern't you.\" Jake said, rubbing Kenta's head. Kenta ran foreward, \"Maybe\" he said as he ran for the room Jake rented. It was late, the moon was already glowing in the sky. They went in and got into their bed clothes and climed into bed. Jake blushed a little. The bed was small, and he could feel Kenta's warmth. All of a sudden, Kenta gave Jake a tight, and close hug. \"Thanks for the best birthday!\" Kenta said, hugging Jake tighter.\n\n\"There is, one last thing, if you want it.\" Jake said, looking at the wolf. Kenta grinned back, they didn't even need to say it. They pushed the covers off, and slipped out off their clothes. \"There wasn't much point in putting them on anyway.\" Jake anounced. He looked over at Kenta, he had a big grin on his muzzle. \"Guess not.\" the wolf replied.\n\nThey moved close, their muzzle's, very close now. Jake moved his mouth to Kenta's muzzle. They held it there for awile. Tounges in each others mouths, until they pulled away reluctently.\n\nKenta moved on top of Jake. He began lick Jake's niples until they stood hard. Kenta gave a little giggle as he nuzzled Jake's chest fur. He moved his hand down Jake's packed stomach. He touched Jake's soft cock. He fondled it in his hand. Jake gave a soft sigh. Kenta moved off Jake and let Jake administer to him. Jake moved between Kenta's legs.\n\nHe began to lick the outside of Kenta's cock. Kenta gave a slight moan. Jake laughted at this, and took it into his mouth. He began to lick the underneath part of the cock. Kenta could feel his length come out from his sheath. Jake began to lick it in a faster motion. Kenta began to lift his rump into the air as he could feel it comeing.\n\nKenta thrust in deeper into Jake's throat as he poured fresh, slick cum down. Jake began to suck on the cock, makeing more come out. He continued to suck until Kenta fell back on to the bed. Jake flipped Kenta on his stomach. Kenta raised his rump in to the air again.\n\nJake gripped Kenta's warm, furry rump. He stucked his thick, hard cock slowly into Kenta. He took it slow, as to not hurt his friend to much, him being a virgin and all.\n\nWhen he was finally in, he began to thrust. He thrusted, long, and deep. He began to hear Kenta moan with every thrust. He began to thrust faster as he continued. He gripped Kenta's rump tightly as he came close. He lean over Kenta's back, and wispered into his air.\n\n\"Here come's your birthday present from me and your mom.\" Jake said as he began to cum inside. He thrust hard, he made Kenta yell out a long moan as the climax came.\n\nWhen he finally slipped out off Kenta, he layed beside him. They cuddled until they fell asleep in each others arms.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\n\nThey had finally gotten back home two days later. Kenta's mom asked, \"How was your birthday present?\" Kenta and Jake both looked at each other. Kenta smiled happily and said, \"It was the best I've ever gotten, I'll never be the same!\"\n\n---\n\nWell that's it, I thought it was pretty good.

It did not know what pain was. It had no recollection of what sensation the word 'pain' was related to. It simply knew that to inflict it upon others was desirable... No... not 'desirable'... that implied it wanted* something... but it could not want... for it was hollow...

She was an ursine... Brown fur covered her entire body and her form was hugged by a long, sea foam green dress. Sparkling, emerald green eyes shone even in the lack of light in the darkness.\n\nIt watched as the girl bent down towards it and smiled benignly.\n\n\"How can you exist in this dump?\" she asked, waving at the abject emptiness around her. \"Put some more life into it, won't you?\" The girl stood up, closing her paws into fists and pumping them into the air. \"Come on! Live some! There's a whole world outside of these walls!\"\n\nWalls...? What walls...?\n\nThe inky blackness peeled away from where they stood and suddenly, it was standing within a courtyard of some sort... High, metal walls rose all around the rectangular plot of land. There were featureless figures moving in odd angles across the field... They were hitting other figures... They all seemed to look like generic, white splotches shaped like men or women. None of them wore clothes... then again, none of them had any defining genitals.\n\nBeyond the walls... there was nothing but more darkness... While there was light... it wasn't clear where the light came from.\n\nWhat was this place...?\n\n\"You should know,\" the girl giggled. \"You trained here for most of your life...\"\n\nThat it did...\n\nIt... it was known as the Emerald Crown... rather... a training yard in the Emerald Crown...\n\nSo those figures... they were training...?\n\nThe ursine girl smiled at her. \"Doing drills, that's right. You should remember all their moves.\"\n\nOf course it did... It used those techniques to defeat the opponents Belford sent against it... An overhand throw... A sliding kick... double cross-slash... Defensive techniques said to double up both offense and defence...\n\nYes... it remembered all those attacks.\n\n\"Remember what your father always said about them?\"\n\nIt had no father.\n\nThe girl sighed and rubbed the bridge of her muzzle just where it met her eyebrows. \"Ah... Right... Too soon. Well... Do you remember what a very important person once said about those attacks? About being like the earth?\"\n\nYes... yes it did recall that memory.\n\nA man told it once... \"Fight like the earth. Be like a rock. Strong and firm, you absorb the strength of your opponent, draw strength from the earth that supports you and push back against your foe, forcing them back. The earth never strikes first. The earth defends.\"\n\n\"Don't suppose you remember who told you that, do you?\" the girl asked.\n\nIt's... father...?\n\nThe girl grinned brightly. \"That's right!\" she exclaimed, clapping her paws together. \"You remember what he looks like?\"\n\nIt... It did not...\n\n\"Come on, it's not that hard.\" She poked its nose. \"Think hard on his words. Listen to his voice. Picture his muzzle moving... and it should be easy from there!\"\n\nIt did... It ran its father's words over and over again in its head...\n\nFight like the earth...\n\nBe like a rock...\n\nIt could imagine a pair of lips slowly twisting and turning with every syllable pronounced... It was slightly greyed around the edges... but most of the fur was brown...\n\nStrong and firm... you absorb the strength of your opponent, draw strength from the earth that supports you... and push back\\_against your foe... forcing them back...\\_\n\nLike a painting being dynamically drawn right before its eyes, the muzzle slowly expanded to encompass a cold, stern face... an ursine face... A strong, muscular build followed afterwards... The familiar face of... of...\n\n\"You know him,\" the girl urged. \"Come on! He's your dad!\"\n\n...\n\nConway Earthsire...\n\nHis name was Conway Earthsire...\n\nThe girl let out a squeal of delight. \"That's right!\" She swept her arms out wide. \"And you remember what happened here on that day?\"\n\nIt did...\n\nIt was training under her father's watchful gaze... The training was painful... and tiresome... Pain... It now recalled what pain was... Some part of it realised that it was inflicting such pain onto others... Was it right...? What was right...? Did it have a recollection of what was right?\n\n\"Focus!\" the girl snapped, clicking her fingers in front of its face. \"What happened here?\"\n\nIt... It turned its gaze away from the field despite its father's orders...\n\n... and on the wall... Yes... On the wall...\n\nPoking his head out from over the wall... was a small, white-furred ursine... with black splotches all over his features. At first... it recalled thinking the little boy was a Dalmatian... but its sharp eyes realised it was a bear...\n\nIt waved at the odd young ursine.\n\nIts father's eyes blazed suddenly as he caught the gaze of the boy. \"Intruders! Men! Seize them!\"\n\nThe scene was absorbed back into the darkness...\n\n... and it realised that was a memory...\n\n\\_Its\\_memory...\n\nWhat had happened to the rest of its memories...?\n\n\"Gee... I don't know...\" the girl mused, somehow surviving the recall of the darkness. She clicked her fingers with a grin. \"Let's go find out... Hmmm... Let's go with this memory! The day you and Sooty first met!\"\n\nSooty...? Who was this 'Sooty'?\n\n\"You'll see,\" she giggled in an almost taunting voice.\n\nThe darkness vanished... and suddenly it was standing alone in a heavily lavished room that looked befitting a princess... There were rich, silk tapestries flowing from the walls and a four-poster bed with all its draping lined with gold. Thick, fluffy rugs that looked terribly expensive covered the hard, marble floors. Exotic paintings of faraway lands big enough to fit entire walls hung around the room, barely fitting a quarter of each wall.\n\nOddly enough... there were no windows.\n\nA creak made it turn towards one of its walls... where one of the wooden panels slid open...\n\nThat same spotted boy poked his head out and broke into a grin at it.\n\n\"Hi there!\"\n\nHello...\n\nThe boy stood up. He was dressed in grubby, dirty overalls that looked like they were covered in some sort of black substance... soot? His paws looked heavily callused with the leathery pads big, developed and thick. His body was quite lean as well, building towards a strong physique.\n\n\"My name Is Luke!\" the boy announced proudly, sticking out his paw at it. \"You must be a -\"\n\n\"Ah-ah-ah!\" the girl exclaimed, covering the boy's muzzle. \"We can't tell her her name! She has to figure it out for herself!\"\n\nLuke frowned and pulled the girl's paws away from his lips. \"But you just told her she was a girl!\"\n\nThe girl slapped her forehead. \"D'oh!\"\n\nIt stared on impassively as the two turned back towards her.\n\n\"Do you remember me?\" Luke asked.\n\nIt shook its head.\n\n\"Awww...\" the little boy looked really disappointed... Then his face brightened. \"Oh! I know! Maybe this'll let you remember!\"\n\nSuddenly the scene changed in a blur of colours and flashes.\n\nIt was suddenly standing in the middle of a flat, grassy plane. It was the middle of the night and the silvery moon shone high above them. The boy, Luke, turned to it with a big smile on his face.\n\n\"Remember this place?\"\n\nIt did not.\n\nLuke grabbed its wrist and pulled it through the grassy fields. Their movement disturbed the slumbering fireflies. A storm of the dancing bugs erupted from the tall grass, sweeping around them and dancing between each of them in mesmerising patterns. The small, glowing bugs swarmed around it and Luke, illuminating his face.\n\nA strange sensation filled it...\n\n... admiration...\n\n... a sense of appreciation for beauty...\n\nAs opposed to the darkness it had been wallowing in for what seemed like forever... this miracle of nature... it was breathtaking...\n\n\"Do you remember now?\" Luke asked, turning his head over his shoulder even if they didn't stop running.\n\nIt shook its head.\n\nIt had no recollection of an event like this...\n\nLuke stopped running and crossed his arms against his chest, looking utterly disappointed. \"Awww... but this was such a great moment for you and me... I remember looking back at you and seeing this look of joy on your face. It was like you had never seen this before... I asked you what was wrong and you don't me this was the first time you'd been out here.\" Luke grinned. \"Then I made fun of you because this place is right outside Gaesham and you'd never been there.\" He pointed at the left side of his face. \"Then you punched me.\"\n\nIt did not remember any of that...\n\nLuke frowned again. \"Hmm... This is tricky... She's not remembering much...\"\n\nThe girl stepped in and stared at it with her eyes narrowed and a small smile on her muzzle. \"Maybe... maybe not... Don't you see, Luke? She's not recalling the events... but she's making new memories... I think that's what's more important.\"\n\n\"So?\" the young ursine asked. \"What should we do?\"\n\nRubbing her chin, the girl said, \"We should keep going... Who knows? She might remember something and remember what it means to be mortal again.\"\n\nLuke grinned. \"How about we go to when we met a second time!?\"\n\nThe girl clicked her fingers with a grin and the scene changed back to the world of the courtyard... Once again, countless people were doing drills around here... but the white shapes had started to form small, defining features. He could see one of them was a wolf... or at least a canine... Others were feline, equine... Their bodies were still completely white and featureless... but they were coming to shape...\n\n\"You are not performing as well as you should be today,\" Conway stated, his eyes narrowed and a frown creasing his muzzle. \"Focus, girl! Focus!\"\n\nStrangely... it did focus... but it was not focusing on the drills...\n\nIts eyes were drawn to the far wall where Luke peeked over bashfully, watching it... It felt an odd sense of... pride fill it... Like it was determined to impress Luke... So it began to do the drills it remembered so well... Yes... It knew these drills... but it was not doing them for its father's sake... it was doing it for Luke...\n\nReinvigorated, it fought harder and harder...\n\nFighting for something...\n\nWhat was that thing?\n\n\"Great!\" the girl exclaimed, clapping her paws together. \"We're making progress!\"\n\nLuke jumped down from the wall and hurried towards her. \"Yay! What should we do next!?\"\n\nA paw landed on its shoulder and it turned to look at Conway who was smiling down at her gently. \"Why don't you give me some time with my daughter?\" he asked gently. \"I have a lot to answer for...\"\n\nDid Conway do something to it in the past...?\n\n\"Don't take too long!\" the girl said, winking at the grizzled old bear. \"We'll be preparing the next scene!\"\n\n\"I won't take long.\"\n\nThe girl and Luke vanished as the scene around them crumbled and they were left in the eternal blackness again... Only it and Conway remained. However, amidst the darkness, there was a small, ornately shaped, metal table and two seats. Conway pulled one of the seats and offered it. Not knowing what else to do, it simply sat down on the offered seat as Conway sat opposite to it.\n\nThe table was suddenly populated by some odd biscuits on a crystal plate and a tea set... They looked like chocolate covered biscuits of some sort...\n\n\"Would you like some?\" Conway asked, presenting the plate to her.\n\nIt shook its head.\n\nIt had no desire for anything so it was impossible to 'like' anything...\n\n\"Have a try,\" Conway insisted. \"They were your favourite.\"\n\nIt found it impossible to have a favourite of anything... Again, it was empty... hollow. How could it have anything...? Anything it gained with be forgotten and erased the second later... However, it had no desire to resist Conway either. That was impossible as well.\n\nSo it simply picked up a biscuit and bit into it.\n\nIt was surprised...\n\nIt was more than simply a rectangular biscuit covered by chocolate... It was actually two biscuits connected by a creamy, mint centre and smothered in light, milk chocolate. The bitter-sweet taste of the chocolate was complemented by the sharp flavour of the mint. It was like one moment, it was floating in a warm ocean before a bolt of lightning struck the waters...\n\nIt was... beautiful...?\n\nOf the two adjectives it could muster... it only knew beauty and surprise...\n\n... perhaps there was another word to describe it...\n\n\"Delicious?\" Conway offered.\n\nWhat did... 'Delicious' mean...?\n\nConway smiled at it lovingly. \"It means something is appealing to your tastes.\"\n\nIndeed... The biscuit was... delicious...\n\n\"How about some tea?\" Conway offered, pouring some of the reddish tea into a crystal cup for it. \"They go very well with the biscuits.\"\n\nIt tried the combination...\n\nA scene was painted in its head...\n\nThe calm, blue ocean... warm... The delicate touch of the milk chocolate...\n\n... a sharp bolt of lightning that heralded a storm... the sharp contrast of the mint...\n\n... then eye of a storm as the tea... the warming embrace of the tea...\n\n... and finally, the amalgamation of all three... A beautiful harmony of flavours... The tea tasted... flowery... It reminded it of roses but still held a bitter tang that formed a brilliant bridge between the chocolate and the mint...\n\nSuddenly... it was a beautiful painting of beauty and calmness... mixed with sharpness and ferocity...\n\nIt was... beautiful...\n\n\"Would you say it was perfect?\" Conway asked.\n\n...\n\nWhat was... 'perfect'...?\n\n\"It means that something has reached the peak of its development. That it is a prime example of its kind.\"\n\nYes... Then it was perfect.\n\nThe taste... it was completely and utterly perfect.\n\nConway gently took away its cup of tea and produced... It looked like a mug of melted chocolate with a floating, white pillow on top of it and fluffy, cloud-like mound with odd contours dusted with bits of chocolate...\n\n\"This is hot chocolate,\" Conway explained with a chuckle. \"That is a marshmallow...\" He pointed at the white pillow-like object. \"And that is whipped cream.\" He indicated the mound. \"Try it with the biscuit.\"\n\nThat it did...\n\nSuddenly, it was a whole different story...\n\nThere was a... sweetness in the concoction that turned the duet of bitter-sweet and mint into a triad of bitter, sweet and mint. There was a definition of the three... and the trinity of flavours were more defined now. In its mind, it picture the three flavours dancing in perfect tandem with one another... There was no one-after-the-other sequence of events...\n\n... it was a balance of all three.\n\nPerfect...\n\n\"But wasn't the other combination perfect too?\" Conway asked.\n\nIt was... but that was incorrect.\n\nThis was perfect...\n\nBut then again... How could it be sure...?\n\nWhat if there was another combination that would surpass this one...?\n\nWould that be perfect too?\n\nConway smiled at it and reached over, grasping its paw gently... A paw... It had a paw...\n\nSlowly, its eyes were drawn from the connection that it shared with Conway... and noticed that it possessed brown fur... and an ursine build. Its body was distinctly female... and it... no... she was quite well built. Muscular and lead but not losing any of its femineity...\n\n\"You're learning, my girl,\" Conway said proudly. \"I know this may not mean much to you now... but know that I am always very proud of you. I may not have been able to express it then... but even if my body and mind could not comprehend it... you always held my heart... my soul... and my love. I only wanted you to be strong... I was stupid to believe you weren't strong enough on your own... But now... I see that you never needed my help.\"\n\nConway bent over and kissed her forehead. \"I love you, Rose.\"\n\nRose...\n\nThat was her name...\n\nRose...\n\nYes... Rose... Earthsire...\n\nBut... no... That did not feel right...\n\nShe had another name...\n\nWhat was it...?\n\n\"Rocky!\"\n\n\"Hey, Rocky!\"\n\n\"Over here, Rocky!\"\n\n\"Yo! Rocky!\"\n\nShe spun around...\n\nStanding in front of her... arrayed in front of her... were a host of people that she knew she recognised... but couldn't quite put a name too... There was a bronze dragon... a little pudgy but who looked incredibly proud. A big, muscular wolf that looked quite... feral... Yet, he held a bright, child-like innocence to him. A tall, athletic vixen with a broad, easy grin leaned on the big wolf, her eyes filled with mirth and wisdom at the same time. There was a young doe who looked quite pretty and bashful but whose eyes were sharp and calculating. A cougar with an easy smile but whose face and posture held constant worry... A brown wolf with silvery hair that had an easy stance but looked like he was trying to puff out his chest a little in the presence of the last individual...\n\n... a cocky, black-furred wolf with golden hair and piercing sapphire-blue eyes.\n\nRose... Rocky... She stepped up to the last wolf... regarding it... She knew she should remember him... His name was on the periphery of her vision...\n\nWhat was it...?\n\nIt was on the tip of her tongue...\n\n\"Got milk?\"\n\nSMACK!\n\nShe slapped him...\n\n... but she was grinning...\n\nShe was happy...\n\nBecause she remembered...\n\nShe remembered him!\n\nJacob Reaper!\n\nHow could she forget him and his cocky attitude!?\n\nRelief washed over her and she immediately threw her arms around Jacob, hugging him tightly and feeling tears well up in her eyes. The crowd around her cheered and each and everyone one of them huddled around her, laughing and patting her back.\n\n\\_\"So you remember now?\"\\_Jacob asked with a grin.\n\n\"How could I forget?\" Rocky laughed, pulling away and grinning. \"But hey, if I ever forget again, be sure to remind me, okay?\"\n\n\"Yes ma'am.\"\n\nRocky raised her fist to punish him for that... but... You know what...\n\nIt wasn't necessary...\n\nShe didn't have to punish him...\n\n... there was no need...\n\nWhy?\n\nBecause I remembered everything...\n\nI remembered who I was... I knew who I was...\n\nI was Rocky Groundwater... formerly Rose Earthsire... and the Elemental Lord of Earth.\n\nI lowered my paw and looked past Jacob.\n\nStanding a few feet away was Norton Manx...\n\nThere were two other people I needed to address before I was ready to step out of my shell...\n\nI patted the memory of Jacob on the shoulder and pulled away from the group.\n\nStanding in front of Norton... I bowed my head. \"I'm sorry...\"\n\nNorton smiled gently at me... and placed a paw on my shoulder. \"There's no need... It was my fault as well... I was too focused on redeeming myself that I never saw what was ahead of me. I just kept on making up for the past... I never thought about what I could do to rebuild the future... You actually freed me, Rocky.\"\n\nI locked gazes with him. \"How...?\"\n\nHe smiled at me. \"I made a deal with the renegade over there,\" he pointed at Jacob. \"When I was satisfied with what I had done... He would break my Seal... He would free my son who lay trapped in my Seal...\" The mole looked up at the blackened sky. \"I got to see him, you know... One last time...\"\n\nMy heart broke...\n\nNorton's Seal was his son...?\n\nThen again... Jacob freed him...\n\nBut wait... if he's here...?\n\nNorton winked at me. \"Yeah... When Belford took the second Seal in my, the Seal blocking your present memories, I had fused somewhat with that Seal. This me...\" He patted his chest. \"Is a fragment of who I am... Just a bit of my soul. Enough that I can be here to help you. Same thing with Conway over there...\"\n\nI glanced to where Norton pointed. Conway... my father, stood amongst the crowd.\n\n\"We're all here... a part of your soul.\"\n\n\"But Jacob and the others...?\"\n\nNorton shrugged. \"I'm not sure what it is... It might be something about their Brand or just a fragment of your memory of them. But I know they aren't the same as Conway and I. They aren't fragments given to you because of the Seals. They're something... more.\" He smiled at me again and took my paw, gently guiding me back towards the crowd. \"But now... I think there's one last person you need to talk to...\"\n\nThe gathered memories all pulled to the sides...\n\nStanding at the back of the group... were two people...\n\nTwo ursines...\n\nOne girl... and one boy...\n\nI smiled at the girl and headed over to her.\n\n\"I guess you're staying as you, huh?\" the girl asked.\n\nI nodded slowly. \"I'm sorry... But I am me... You are part of me... part of my past... but who I am now... It's not going to just change because I suddenly remembered you.\"\n\nShe grinned at me and winked. \"Good! Because if you said otherwise, I'd totally beat you to a pulp!\"\n\nThat made me laugh. I remembered what it was like to be Rose Earthsire... That carefree attitude I had developed as I had snuck out with Luke... All those times after training when I had free time, I would spend with Luke. Flirting the law and disobeying my father filled me with such... thrill that I developed a carelessness that became me.\n\nLuke and I made such a great pair...\n\nIt's little wonder I fell in love with him...\n\nRose began to fade from view, grinning broadly. \"Hey!\" she cried. \"When you get the chance, don't forget to smack Jacob for calling you a girl!\"\n\nI laughed and waved at her vanishing appearance. \"I won't forget.\"\n\nAs the last vestiges of her vanished into myself... I turned to the little boy.\n\nHe smiled up at me and held out his paw. \"Wanna watch something?\"\n\nI took his paw and smiled. \"Sure.\"\n\nThe instant our fingers touched, we were suddenly back in Soot's lounge room. I was sitting down and watching the final episode of Starboy. I felt tears running down my face as I watched Black die at Malice's paws. It always touched me... and I always thought that the love the two shared... it was too precious to just die like that.\n\nAn arm wrapped around my shoulder and I turned to a fully grown Luke smiling at me, his fur as fluffy and as dirty as ever. He leaned over... and kissed me. The touch of his lips against mine... it sent shivers down my spine and my tears flowed freely.\n\nAs he pulled away, he grinned and wiped the tear away from my cheek. \"Girls don't cry.\"\n\nI smiled back and just held him in my arms...\n\nBAM!\n\nThe door suddenly sprang open... and Soot's father came rushing inside. \"Sooty! Rose! Get out of here now!\"\n\nNo... Not this memory...\n\nAnything but this memory...!\n\nLuke stood up, his big, muscular form never ceasing to impress me. He had such big arms too. Comes from working at the mines.\n\n\"Dad! What's wrong!?\"\n\n\"Conway found out!\"\n\nMy heart plummeted and I instantly grabbed Luke's paw. \"Come on! We've got to get out of here!\"\n\n\"But, my dad -!\"\n\n\"Get out of here you two!\" Luke's father shouted. \"I'll hold them off as long as I can!\"\n\nI pulled him out of the small house... and took him through the streets of Graesham... I could see his tears as he left his father... As we pulled far enough away from the house that it was hidden from view by the other houses -\n\nBOOOM!\n\n... his home exploded into flames.\n\n\"Dad!\" he cried.\n\nHe fell to his knees... and knowing that we couldn't stop but I couldn't just leave him... I knelt in front of him, cupping his muzzle in my paws.\n\n\"Don't let his sacrifice be in vain, Sooty,\" I said gently. \"We've got to get out of here...\"\n\nHe took my paws in his, holding them tightly. \"Okay... But... you gotta promise me one thing...\"\n\n\"Anything...\" The answer was instinctive... but I meant every letter of it.\n\nHe suddenly grinned up at me. \"Our first kid, even if it's a girl, we name it after him.\"\n\nI had to laugh at that... We always had plans of getting married and having kids. The constant debate between us would always be what our kids would be called. Now... he had one up on me.\n\nI pulled him to his feet. \"Deal.\"\n\n\"Stop right there!\"\n\nWe spun... and a horde of MODD soldiers blocked us.\n\nMost of them... I recognised... They were people I had trained with for so long... I didn't want to kill them... but... I had to escape... I had to escape with Luke.\n\n\"I'm sorry...\" I whispered...\n\nThe rest was a blur...\n\nThere was blood... rocks cleaving through the earth and a desperate flight through the streets of Graesham. Tears were flowing freely from my eyes as Luke slowly began pulling me instead of me pulling him... I was weakening... and slowly... ever so slowly... I felt myself slipping out of reality...\n\n... and back into the darkness of the world inside my memory...\n\n\"Come on, Rose!\"\n\nJust like back then... I closed my eyes... recalled how we had gotten to this position...\n\n... I couldn't believe I had forgotten...\n\nStrangely... in our desperate flight from my father... That was the time I felt most loved by Luke...\n\n\"Rose! No!\"\n\nI laughed softly...\n\n\"Rose...?\" he asked... Such beautiful eyes...\n\nSmiling... I rubbed his cheek with my thumb... Those stains on his fur... I often wondered what it would be like to see him with clean fur for once... but I realised... He wouldn't be my Sooty otherwise...\n\n\"You're so beautiful... Never change, Luke...\"\n\n\"I won't. Because you'll be right there to tell me when I am changing. Right? Right!?\"\n\nSee that there? That's love...\n\n... And with that love in my heart... I got up slowly...\n\n\"Help me up...\"\n\nI remembered thinking about the odds of the two of us coming together... and then again, I remembered the odds of Black and Malice actually becoming a couple. At the start of the adventure, it seemed so improbably. Hell, there were even some bits of conjecture in the forums that the two were gay because there were hints that they had some romantic affections for one another.\n\nBut in the end...\n\n... they did end up together...\n\n\"Rose, come on,\" Luke urged, tugging at my paw. \"We have to keep moving!\"\n\nI smiled at him... and he read my mind.\n\n\"No...\" he said, shaking his head slowly. \"No! Rose, you already used up enough of your power to help us escape! You can't! You'll die!\"\n\n\"Probably. But you'll live, Sooty.\"\n\nHe clenched my paw in his, tears forming in his eyes. \"No... Please no... I... I...\"\n\n\"Yes?\"\n\nHe looked so desperate... and I felt so loved...\n\nThat was what drove me that day to make sure he would live...\n\n\"Rose... I can't go on without you... I... I need you... I...\"\n\nI smiled again and quickly caught him in an embrace. Our hearts pounded against our chests like they were yearning to burst out of our flesh and come together as one.\n\nI angled my muzzle towards his round ears and whispered... \"I love you.\"\n\nI felt his heart stop for a second... I smiled and gently pushed him away... Quickly gathering my strength, I summoned the earth from the ground around our feet and encased him in a large, capsule of rock. I left a large enough hole that I could see his face. He pleaded me to stop, calling out my name but I barely heard him.\n\nWho would have guessed he would turn out to be my lieutenant as Rocky Groundwater...?\n\nFate is funny like that...\n\nBut you know what...?\n\nLove brought us together... and love would bring us together again...\n\nMy legs were starting to give way and my paws were feeling numb. A chill ran through me. All I could hear was pounding of my own heart in my ears. I summoned my remaining strength for a third time and threw a punch at Luke's capsule. The bullet of rock shot into the distant horizon... Hopefully towards the nearest settlement... or at least close enough that he'll be able to make his way there.\n\nI smiled as the little, black speck vanished into the distance...\n\nAt least he would be safe... My last gift to him...\n\n\"Rose! Rose Earthsire!\"\n\nI turned slowly at the sound of my own name. MODD had caught up with me, forming an impenetrable barricade in front of me. I knew that I had no hope of outrunning them. Nor could I overpower them. I saw my father standing at the forefront of the army... a proud, brown-furred bear...\n\nI took a deep breath... Luke's scent still lingered in the air. I smiled... and lifted my muzzle to the sky, spreading my arms wide. My heart felt so light... Luke had my heart... and when I sent him away to be free, he took it with him.\n\nNow... All that was left was to ensure that no one followed him.\n\nI poured the last vestiges of my power into my Seal... and once I was on the brink of unconsciousness, I filled my Seal with what remained of my conscious self. Everything that I was... I put into my Seal...\n\n\"Rose! No!\"\n\nI closed my eyes... and smiled as Rose Earthsire faded from existence...\n\n... darkness enclosed me again...\n\n...\n\nI love you Luke... Now... and forever...\n\n...\n\n...\n\nBack in the darkness...\n\nI sat in the inky blackness... waiting...\n\nTears were flowing from my eyes, down my cheeks...\n\nI had done all I could...\n\nI knew who I was now... I knew who I loved...\n\n... but... I couldn't break out of this prison...\n\nThis powerful mental prison that Belford put me in...\n\nI just... I just needed the key...\n\nSomething...\n\nAnything...\n\nPlease... someone... help me...\n\nThen... like the gods had finally decided to listen to me...\n\nA small speck of light appeared in the darkness...\n\nI found the strength in my body... and I pulled myself to my feet. I reached for the light...\n\n... and found my fingers brushing against familiar, soft, fluffy fur...\n\nI blinked...\n\nA tear rolled off my muzzle...\n\n...\n\n... and landed directly on Soot's cheek...\n\nHe lay beneath me, a gentle smile on his features and his eyes filled with happiness.\n\nI hovered above him... the landscape around us was devastated... There were large spires of rock and shards of crystal scattered everywhere... Jacob along with Joanna, Taylor and Rex stood a few feet away, looking dumbstruck and both saddened...\n\nWhy were they sad...?\n\nI was back in my body... right...?\n\nA gentle paw pressed against my cheek... and I looked down, knocking another tear onto Soot's fur...\n\nI watched in awe as my tear actually washed away the black soot on his fur!\n\nAmazing... my tears could wash away the soot...\n\n...\n\n\"Just like the ending of Starboy, huh?\"\n\nI locked gazes with Luke... Soot...\n\nThe end of...?\n\nThen I saw it...\n\nEarthborn... sticking out of his chest...\n\n\\_Earthborn...\\_in my grasp...\n\n...\n\nNo... No!\n\nThis couldn't be happening!\n\nNo!\n\n\"Luke!\" I pleaded, seizing the back of his head with my free paw. \"No! You can't die! Luke! Please!\"\n\nHe smiled at me, slowly closing his eyes. \"I... I love you... Rocky...\"\n\nNo!\n\nI threw back my head and let out a pained cry...\n\nAll that love I had for him... everything...\n\nIt just all shattered...\n\nI... How could... How could I go on...?\n\nHe was my hope... my future...?\n\n\"How pitiful.\"\n\nThat voice!\n\nBelford stood at the lip of a crater that had formed at some point in the past.\n\n\"You were to be the key to my success,\" Belford sighed, shaking his head sadly. \"People would have flocked to us after learning you had obtained perfection and transcended these mortal coils... Sad that you would fight perfection and prefer to return to a meaningless life of pain and suffering.\"\n\nAll my pain... all my loss... it turned to anger and hatred...\n\nThis man... this monster had... he was...\n\nHe was to blame!\n\nBelford!\n\n\"No matter...\" Belford said, shaking his head and lifting his arms wide. \"I have what I want from you. Your participation allowed for countless souls to give themselves to me. I am now strong enough to spread my perfection across the whole world! Those unwilling to join will have their memories robbed of them and they will be part of a universal, perfect body! We shall be god!\"\n\nI gently rested Luke on the ground. I stood up, leaving one half of Earthborn in Luke as I spun towards Belford. I sensed Jacob and his team rise up beside me...\n\n...\n\n\"Then prepare for the apocalypse, 'god'.\"" } ]

A race party.\n\nFor the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.\n\nAudrey had been in the countryside for a full week, now, and ... this was her first social gathering with her rural neighbors. She was meeting many of them for the first time. The only one she really knew was Peregrine, and he was shyly avoiding her. Lingering near the tablecloth-covered card table (with all the bowls of chips and homemade foods on it).\n\nThey were holding this party outside. In the open area of the barn, and ... in the grass. In the shade of the sycamore in the lawn. Two separate radios were set up. One in the barn and one on the card table. Both of them broadcasting the race (which had yet to start with). They had a good half an hour before the green flag flew, but ...\n\n... everyone had already gathered.\n\nThe sun was out. It was in the lower 80's. Good weather, this, for a race. And a lot better than the Pole Day weather a few weeks ago (but, then, the weather was ALWAYS miserable for Pole Day).\n\nAudrey, a paper plate in one paw, began to drift around the food table.\n\n\"That's square corn,\" Adelaide said, nodding at the yellow dish. \"Corn casserole.\"\n\n\"Ah ... thought it might be,\" Audrey replied, and spooned some onto her plate. Smiling. \"You make that one, then?\"\n\n\"Field did.\"\n\n\"Field? Your mate?\"\n\n\"He likes to cook,\" she said.\n\nThe skunk nodded. \"Well, everything looks great. All you furs are ... very kind,\" Audrey said, \"to invite me.\"\n\nAdelaide put some pretzels on her own plate. \"Don't mention it.\" A smile. \"I was gonna make a bug dish, but ... \"\n\n\"A bug dish?\"\n\n\"With insects. Bugs. Cause, you know, bats ... well, we eat bugs.\"\n\n\"I guess you do, don't you,\" Audrey realized.\n\n\"Uh-huh. I try to slip them into Field's food. He needs the protein. But he ALWAYS catches me doing it.\" A giggle. \"His nose is too good. Better than mine. But ... sometimes, I slip them past his senses.\"\n\nAudrey could only giggle. \"Hmm ... well, you didn't slip any bugs into the corn casserole, did you?\"\n\n\"No,\" said the pink-furred bat, shaking her head. \"No, it's safe for non-bats.\" A toothy grin.\n\n\"You know,\" Audrey remarked, moving to another side of the table. Scooping some watermelon and cantaloupe balls onto her plate (which was getting to be rather full). \"I've never actually met a bat.\"\n\n\"Well, we're rare. Only one point six percent of the furry population, so ... \"\n\n\"What kind of bat are you? Like ... are there different kinds of bats? Like, I know there are different kinds of mice. Most of the mice around here seem to be field and deer mice.\"\n\n\"I'm an Indiana bat. Actual species. We're ... somewhat endangered, I guess you could say.\"\n\n\"Sorry to hear that,\" was Audrey's reply.\n\n\"It's okay. As long as there are still bats. But ... I don't know. I fell for a mouse.\" A pause. \"Mice and bats are genetically close enough, you know ... we can reproduce.\"\n\n\"Oh?\" The skunk raised her brow.\n\n\"Too young for that, though. Neither of us could handle it.\"\n\n\"Well, I'm sure you'll make a good mother someday. You seem to be very ... nurturing,\" Audrey said, smiling. Her plate now full.\n\nAdelaide's plate was only half-filled. \"It's in our nature,\" she said, of her own species. \"Sometimes, a fault. Sometimes, we can be over-zealous in our ... protective instincts.\" A sheepish shrug. \"I've been known to bare my fangs and ... pin a few furs to the wall,\" she confessed, \"for simply looking at Field the wrong way. I don't know.\" A breath. \"We each have our unique abilities and our unique ... flaws,\" she whispered. \"In the end, it all evens out. We're all on equal footing.\"\n\nAudrey nodded. \"That's probably true,\" she whispered. Knowing that she, even with all her money and resources, and even being a skunk ... was no better (or better off) than all these rural furs (most of whom were mice and squirrels). But, then, she was no worse off, either. They were all alive, and ... \" ... it's nice,\" Audrey said. \"All of this. Thank you again,\" she told Adelaide.\n\n\"Well, again, you're welcome, and ... find a place to sit. Got straw bales set about to sit on. Overly rustic, maybe, but ... I don't have any lawn chairs, truth be told.\" A giggle. \"So, it'll have to do. And the race will start soon.\"\n\n\"I've never really paid much attention to racing.\"\n\n\"Oh, you should. You're a Hoosier, aren't you?\"\n\nA nod.\n\n\"Well, it's in your blood. Your heritage. Something we all share, racing. Especially THIS race, so ... \" The pink-furred bat looked around. And saw Peregrine sitting alone under the sycamore. \"You might wanna go talk to him,\" she whispered.\n\n\"What?\"\n\n\"Talk to Peregrine. He's lonely,\" Adelaide whispered, looking back to the bat.\n\n\"Alright.\"\n\n\"And he likes you, too, you know,\" Adelaide said.\n\nAudrey blinked. \"Well, how did you know I ... \"\n\nThe bat tilted her head a bit. Squinted with a bit of an enigmatic smile. \"Telepathic.\"\n\n\"Oh.\"\n\n\"Don't worry. I don't read thoughts. I just ... sense things. Emotions. Feelings. Attractions.\" A pause. \"I can read thoughts, but ... that's a line I don't cross unless I'm invited.\" Her eyes darted to Field. The mouse. Her mate. \"He's given me so many invitations they must be flowing out my ears. I'm gonna go be with him. Enjoy the party,\" Adelaide said, smiling, nodding, and padding off.\n\nAudrey watched her go. And then looked around at some of the other furs.\n\nThere was Chester. And his mate Juneau. A mouse and a squirrel.\n\nAnd there was Wren and his mate Rella. Both of them were squirrels.\n\nAnd a few others that Audrey hadn't been introduced to yet. Didn't know their names. But the majority of furs here were mice. And then squirrels. There was a chipmunk. And Audrey was a bat. And she, of course, was a skunk, so ... and Aria was here, too. Audrey's staff had been invited. Aria, the rabbit, had come. And was chatting with a shy mouse. But, then, ALL mice were shy.\n\nMost of the furs farmed. And, on top of that, worked part-time jobs in the nearest small town. Which was seven miles to the north-east. From talking with Adelaide, Audrey had found out that the bat had a part-time job at the library in town, for instance.\n\nAudrey, standing in the sunlight, reached for a can of soda. Grabbing a vanilla-flavored cola. And she padded through the light and into the shade of the sycamore.\n\nPeregrine looked up, his grey fur seeming more shadowed ... being that he was sitting in the shade.\n\n\"May I join you?\" Audrey asked delicately.\n\nPeregrine gave a shy smile and nodded. \"Um ... sure,\" he said. They hadn't really talked or spent any time together since that storm last weekend. Not because neither had wanted to. But, maybe, they'd both been a little apprehensive. Or ... well, who knew. Regardless, there was a bit of a tension in the air between them. Not the bad kind. But the baited breath kind.\n\nAudrey lowered to her knees. And set her plate and soda can down. Her angular ears cocked and hearing the other furs chattering. And hearing the sounds of the radio.\n\n\"I've been to the race before,\" Peregrine said. Poking at some steamed carrots.\n\n\"Yeah?\"\n\nA quiet nod.\n\n\"Well ... what's it like?\"\n\n\"Well, it's hard to say, really, if ... you've never been,\" was the mouse's response. He chew-chewed on a piece of carrot.\n\n\"Oh.\" Audrey picked up her soda. And after a small pause, she opened it. With that familiar click-fizz sound. And she took a tiny sip. \"Well, I was telling Adelaide that I don't know much about racing. Maybe you could teach me.\"\n\nA shy smile. The mouse looking to the grass. \"Nothing much to teach, really. It's ... just watch and listen, and you'll pick it up fairly quickly, I'm sure. Just like any other sport.\" A pause. \"Not that auto racing is LIKE any other sport. I'm just saying that ... if you can follow one sport, you can follow ... \" He went quiet. What was he trying to say again? Shut up, Perry. Shut up.\n\nThe skunk nodded. Taking another sip of her drink. And setting it down between her thighs (so it wouldn't topple over and spill).\n\n\"I'm glad that the weather's good today,\" the grey-furred mouse commented.\n\n\"Mm.\" Audrey nodded and swallowed some of the corn casserole. \"It's beautiful. Yeah.\" She closed her eyes and breathed deeply through the nose. And opened her eyes and gave the mouse a warm, happy smile.\n\nIt was contagious. For he smiled back, unable to help himself.\n\n\"You have dimples,\" she realized, nodding slightly. Smiling. \"Mm ... that's cute, you know? I mean, if you don't mind me saying ... \"\n\nPeregrine put a paw to his own cheek, in a self-conscious manner. \"Um ... \"\n\n\"Why are you sitting here all alone?\" Audrey asked.\n\nThe mouse lowered his paw from his cheek. Back to his fork. \"I'm not alone,\" he said quietly, staring at his food.\n\n\"Well, before I came over, I mean ... you were by yourself. In the shade here.\"\n\n\"I just never know what to say.\"\n\n\"Well, Peregrine, most prey are ... shy, you know. I mean, most of the rest of the furs here are mice and such. So ... \"\n\n\"I know, but ... the way they look at me,\" he whispered.\n\n\"What do you mean?\" she asked. Confused.\n\n\"They feel sorry for me.\"\n\nThe skunk was quiet.\n\n\"Cause of how I lost ... \" He hesitated. \"Cause of how I lost Bell-Bell ... and all. And I don't know.\" He poked at an unsugared, sliced strawberry. And brought it to his muzzle. \"They all tried to help me after, and I ... shut them out. It's not the same,\" Peregrine whispered. And he put the strawberry in his mouth. And chew-chewed.\n\nAudrey took another sip of her soda, her paw-pad wet from the condensation on the aluminum can. \"They all seem to like you. They all seem to care about you.\"\n\n\"They do,\" Peregrine whispered. And he closed his eyes. \"But I don't deserve it,\" he whispered.\n\n\"That's not true,\" Audrey whispered back.\n\nThe mouse opened his eyes. Briefly looked to her. And then looked away. \"They're getting ready to sing Back Home Again.\"\n\n\"What?\"\n\n\"On the radio. At the track. The race,\" he reminded.\n\n\"Oh.\"\n\n\"Should go into the barn so we can hear the radio better. The one out here,\" he said, nodding to the radio on the card table, \"is in the sun, and the breeze carries the sound in the opposite direction from where we are.\"\n\nAudrey nodded quietly. \"Alright.\"\n\nThe mouse got up, and ... hesitated. And then extended a paw to her.\n\nShe smiled gently and took it.\n\nHe helped her up, and then twitched a bit, and took his plate and soda can and scurry-walked back to the others.\n\nAudrey lingered beneath the branches of the sycamore. Lingered in the shade. And then took her own can and plate and followed him.\n\nAnd she wasn't wearing a watch, so she had no idea what time it was, but it couldn't have been that much after noon. And she felt this lazy, sunny tug at her heart. The kind of pull that slowed a soul. And she took a deep breath.\n\nWere all race days like this?\n\nShe guessed, in the back of her mind, that, yes, they were." } ]

I dont' like it, and will probably rewrite it. But here it is anyways, rushed. And there is actual yiff this part.\n\nContinued right where the last one left off \\~\\~\\~\\~\n\nI sighed, dried off, and curled up in my bed, stark naked and still semi-erect. I decided to sleep, thinking that perhaps sleep would be what would work to cool down my overheated body and my tired head. I knew that when my wife came home, she would curl up in bed against me, and we'd end up having sex, and it would be the same old thing between us. Sex with a sigh, she used to call it. We'd go to sleep, her wrapped in my arms, me awake and full of turmoil. Nothing ever changed, it seemed.\n\nExcept that now, I had these new emotions coursing through me. These new feelings of being...different. Strange. Maybe I was starting to understand what was missing. Or maybe I just...needed to have my head examined. At that time, I didnt' know what to think.\n\nMy wife didn't come home that night. She called me, and said that she had some work she needed to finish, and she'd be home in a few days. I understood that. Her work often took her away for days on end, quite suddenly. I never questioned this. I never wondered why a real estate agent would need to be away for days like that. Maybe I didn't want to know. Either way, she called that fateful night, and she said that I would be alone for a few days.\n\nI fell into a fitful sleep, curled around a pillow, tears on my face. There was nothing I could do, I thought, about the emotions coursing through me.\n\nI woke up to screams in the house, and doors slamming. I could hear my daughter crying downstairs, and the soft voice of that young wolf, Greg, trying to calm her. I jumped up, swiftly pulling on my pants, thinking that something aweful must have happend, and I ran downstairs as quick as I could.\n\nMy immediate assumption was that something had happened like rape. Afterall, I knew that Prom was the time when most young wolves lost their virginity. I wasn't such a prude that i didn't think my little girl would never experiment at all. So I assumed that perhaps something like that had happened.\n\nWhat I found was vastly different. I found my daughter sitting on the couch, crying, and her boyfriend standing against hte wall, looking quite lost and scared. Though I could see nothing was seriously wrong. She did not look hurt, and she didn't seem to be truly very upset. She was just...crying. I walked over to her, and laid a hand on her shoulder.\n\n\"What's wrong darling? Did something happen at the prom?\"\n\nShe looked up at me, tears in her eyes, her makeup smeared on her fur.\n\n\"Daddy...I have to tell you something... I didn't know until tonight, and Greg and I thought that we could fix it, but we can't, and i just can't live like this anymore.\"\n\nI looked down at her, meeting her tear-filled eyes with calm understanding adult eyes, knowing that my little girl needed her daddy to listen. I slowly sat down beside her, and wrapped an arm around her.\n\n\"Just tell me what it is. I promise not to get mad.\"\n\nShe sighed loudly, then started crying again. Amidst her sobs, she spoke.\n\n\"Daddy...I'm...a...lesbian. Greg and I only went out tonight because I was going to have sex with him to try and get rid of that, but it just didn't work, and I'm sure now. I'm a lesbian daddy! I don't want to be!\"\n\nI looked down at her, then pulled her into a hug. I stroked her head gently, making soft noises of reassurance at her.\n\n\"It's okay, love. It's okay. Maybe you're just confused. Maybe we can figure out what to do.\"\n\nShe shook her head and curled up against my chest.\n\n\"No, daddy. I really know I am now. Tonight Greg and I wanted to know for sure. I've had suspicions for some time...but I just didn't know. We were going to try to have sex, but...we just couldn't do it. I felt nothing dad! NOTHING! No pleasure at all. It was just...mechanical, like eating, or drinking, nothing there. I felt only friendship for him. Nothing of love, nothing of lust, nothing that any of the other girls describe. Gods, why am I cursed like this?\"\n\nI held her close, rocking her, shushing her softly.\n\n\"It's okay, darling. It really is. Just as long as you're happy, I'm happy. We'll get used to this eventually. I'll support you, I swear. I could never get angry or upset about you being like this. I just couldn't do it. I'll support you, dearest.\"\n\nI knew that the only reason I was being so supportive was because I knew that there was something different about me. That I was not straight either. I knew that my daughter was going through the same things I was. I felt then...maybe this was my fault. Maybe i had the bad genes in me. Maybe it just...ran in the family. Maybe it was true...and this time, the apple wasn't falling far from the tree.\n\nI sighed softly, then smiled down at her, and kissed the top of her head, hugging her gently.\n\n\"Don't worry, love. Just...be happy. I suggest you go to bed, and think more about this tommorrow. I'll let your friend out. Just go to sleep, darling, and we'll talk mroe in the morning. This isn't something that we should try to discuss when you're so tired and overwrought. Go wash the makeup from your face, and go to sleep. We'll talk about this in the morning.\"\n\nShe stood, hugged me one last time, then went up the stairs to her room, silently. I knew she was still crying, but all I could do was sit there with a look of pain on my face. When I heard her door close, I let my body sag, and rested my head in my hands, and sighed..\n\nI spoke then, my voice muffled by my paws. A tinge of anger was in my voice, and I knew it. But it wasn't truly directed at him. It was directed at me, at the perversion I could feel in me even then. Even then I felt like I should stand up and wrap my arms around that beautiful young male wolf that stood against the wall, so silent and still. Even then, I wanted to simply stand up and take him to me, and remember the tenderness of youth through the touch of his body.\n\n\"So, proud of turning my daughter into a lesbian?\" I lifted my head as I spoke, then I quirked an eyebrow at him. He smiled over at me, quirked an eyebrow back and walked towards me.\n\n\"Not as proud as I'm going to be, if my hunch is correct, sir.\"\n\nI looked up at him, my eyes wide. That's when he made a move. He was already close enough to me, but he bent over and quite deliberately kissed me on the muzzle. He jumped back again, silent, a smirk on his face, standing against the wall, his arms folded, his body relaxed. I sat there, silent. I reached up a paw, and touched my mouth, where he had kissed me. I looked down at my paw, where just the faintest tinge of his saliva glistened, then I looked back up at him, and spoke softly.\n\n\"Why?\"\n\nHe smiled at me, his eyes shining with mischief, his body pose cocky and assured.\n\n\"Because, sir, I saw how you looked at me when you saw me earlier tonight. I coudl smell that you were aroused. And I know I'm not straight. I'm pure bisexual sir, and while your daughter is quite beautiful, I'm afraid I just don't have a chance with her. She knew about my...tendencies...which is why we were dating to begin with.\"\n\nI looked down at my paws.\n\n\"But why did you kiss me?\"\n\nHe shook his head.\n\n\" I don't know. Maybe I wanted to kiss someone older. Maybe I wanted to see what you really thought. Maybe I wanted to see if you would act with revulsion. Maybe I'm just a horny young male who was planning on getting laid tonight, and is thus quite frustrated. I really don't know. I'm young. We do random, impulsive things. I'm sure you remember being young once.\"\n\nI shook my head, my blood pounding from that single kiss, my body throbbing. I sat there, suddenly feeling very old, and very tired. I didn't understand. I didn't want to. It hurt to think about the things running through my head. I wanted to reach out and pull that young wolf to me, pull him into my lap and set my tongue and paws to every inch of his young furred body. I wanted to so bad, it hurt. I whined softly, and buried my head in my paws.\n\nI spoke softly then.\n\n\"The door is over there. You can let yourself out, I'm sure.\"\n\nI simply sat there. Waiting to hear the door open and close. Knowing that if I dared to look up, I'd be unable to control myself. I just kept telling myself, \"you're a 40 year old wolf. You're MARRIED. You have CHILDREN! Don't throw that all away because you have perverted urges running through your blood.\"\n\nI didn't hear the door close. Instead, I felt a weight sit down on the couch beside me. I froze then, sitting there, shaking with sobs I wasn't about to let out. I just sat there, hoping I was imagining things, hoping if I never opened my eyes, he would just go away, and leave me alone.\n\nNo such luck.\n\nThat weight moved on the couch, making the springs squeak a little, then I felt it. He had moved over until he was sitting right beside me. His leg touching my leg, his shoulder touching mine. His fur touching my fur through the thin fabric of our pants, his lean muscles just barely touching my body. I sobbed then, a broken, soft sob, and lifted my head.\n\nTo find brilliant gold eyes staring into mine, soft understanding eyes that shone with a beautiful inner light. I felt at that moment like I looked into the eyes of an angel. Of course, an angel would not smell of lust like that young wolf did...but for that moment, I fell into those eyes, and felt a peace settle over me. This wolf and I were going to do something bad, something shameful, something that would make me wake up feeling like the lowest shit in the world, but at the time, I knew it would feel so good. I knew it would feel good, and that's all that mattered then. Caution? The knowledge that my life would change forever? At that moment, my brain knew nothing of that. I knew only that I was going to do this, and nothing would stop me. Nothing would stop up. I could see the silent acceptance in his eyes as well.\n\nHe spoke softly then, reaching out a paw to lay it on my knee.\n\n\"We both know what we want. We both know what we're feeling. I can smell how much you desire me. And I know myself well enough to know, I want you. I'm no virgin to my own sexuality, sir, and I think that we should explore this together. At the very least, let me take care of that problem.\"\n\nHe moved his hand from my knee and stroked it lightly down my sheath, just barely whisping over the cloth that covered it.\n\nI shiver, whimpering softly from his delicate feathery touch, tears falling down my cheeks. Shivering, I touched his paw..\n\n\"But...this is wrong. Men don't do this! This is just WRONG!\"\n\nEvery emotion in me was conflicted. Half of my brain screamed about how young he was, about how men didnt' do these things together, how everything was wrong wrong wrong, while the other half of my dream wanted to relax and take this young wolf to me, wanted to feel and touch and taste and be ALIVE with the wonder that was his furry body.\n\nIn the end, I gave up. I gave in. I had already accepted it after all. I shut down the rational part of my brain, thinking...\"What could one night hurt? What could one encounter?\"\n\nI sighed softly, and wiped the tears from my eyes with my paw. I spoke softly to him then, leaning over to kiss his muzzle gently, whispering against his mouth, the soft fur of his muzzle tickling my jaw.\n\n\"Alright. I want to know.\"\n\nHe smiled, and stroked my shoulder with a paw, his fingers like brands of fire on my skin.\n\n\"In my car then. We wouldn't want to wake your daughter.Let her sleep. I'd hate to traumatize her anymore than I already have.\"\n\nSo I went. We stood, he grabbed my paw and held it tight to him, keeping me from bolting, and we walked outside, to climb into the back of his car like two horny teenagers. He went first, and sat against the far side, facing me as I crawled into there with him. I could see him smiling softly as I moved into his car, his eyes glowing with a tender light. I sat there, waiting, not sure what to do, what to think. After all...I had never even thought about these things before, and here I was, full of lust, full of desire, full of want for this lovely wolf that smiled at me so appealingly. I folded my paws in my lap, and looked at him, wondering how to begin this alien interlude.\n\nI didn't have to begin. He moved first.\n\nHe moved quickly, straddling me, his paws on my shoulders, his muzzle pressed against mine as he kissed me, his tongue lapping hungrily against my lips. My eyes shot wide at his boldness, and I jumped at his sudden motion, then relaxed as he pushed me back down, his paws forceful on my shoulders, his mouth hungry and demanding against mine. I didn't struggle then. I just relaxed my body, relaxed against him, and let him do as he pleased. He knew more than I. Even with 20 years on him, I knew...this young fur knew what he was doing, and he would do best, leading the way through this.\n\nI opened my mouth then, and let his tongue in. I knew how this worked. I'd kissed my wife at least a hundred times, our young tongues exploring each other's mouths. But this was different. This young wolf took firm control, worming his tongue into my mouth, licking my tongue, curling our tongues together. I moaned softly at the taste of his tender young mouth against mine. It's true what they say, that the younger they are, the sweeter they are. He kissed me for a long time, his tongue curling and uncurling around mine, like a serpent rolling through my mouth.\n\nWhen he stopped, I sat there, gasping for air, looking up at him. I could see the smirk on his face as he licked our saliva from his lips, slowly, sensually, deliberately trying to entrance me. I knew I was already spellbound. He spoke softly then.\n\n\"Perhaps...we might be more comfortable with less clothing?\"\n\nI was only wearing my pajama pants, but he was in a tux after all. My pants were hastily discarded, falling down my legs in a rush of fabric. Then, I smiled at him, staring into his soft, beautiful eyes. For the first time, I made a move.\n\n\"Let me help.\"\n\nI reached up my paws, and started to undo the buttons on his jacket. He chuckled softly, and stayed still, letting me remove each button from it's hole. One by one, I removed them, moving all the way down his shirt.\n\nUntil I reached his pants. Three buttons there. Three shiny black buttons that seemed to me to be locks on something I shouldn't open. I looked at him, hesitation in my eyes. He smiled at me, and spoke softly, leaning over to lick the base of my ear.\n\n\"Open them.\"\n\nHis voice was husky, full of lust, so close to my ear that I shivered. And reaching down again....I undid the buttons on his pants.\n\nHe wore no underwear.\n\nHe slipped from his unbuttoned clothing like a flower unfurling its petals, his body exposed in all its glory to me. I sat there, staring at his lean, hard curves. Pondering. His face, lean and rugged, masculine. The fur of his face still soft with youth. His neck, so graceful, slender and softly furred, striped with deep deep obsidian against the jet black of the rest of his fur. His shoulders, wide and muscular. Idly, I mused in my head. /My wife has small shoulders. But their necks are so much alike. So soft. So delicate./ I wanted to bite him then, wanted to softly bite against his beautiful neck and claim him. But I stilled the urge, and continued to look at him. His long, delicate arms, muscular, broad hands. /The hands of a football player/ I thought. My wife had small hands, delicate fine boned hands with long nails. His claws were long too. Long black and filed to sharp tips. /A boy who knows how to care for his hands/. My eyes roved down his chest. Fine, soft fur over well-built muscles, abs that rippled when he moved. And his nipples, hard pink nubs that begged for me to reach out and touch them. I refrained at that moment, instead chosing to continue staring down his body.\n\nHe stood so still as I looked at him in the moonlight, as we sat in that car together.\n\nI looked down. Down at his thin waist that curved so deliciously. My wife had wide hips. Wide, pup-bearing hips. To see this young wolf's slender waist made my pulse pound. I looked behind. Such an adorable ass, firm muscles and a long, well-groomed tail. So beautiful, I felt. So much like a woman, but so much like a man. I sighed softly, and finally...finally turned my eyes to what I knew waited below his waist. What I knew was echoed in my own lap.\n\nHis sheathed member. It was standing out, his pink flesh standing rigid from his black sheath, glistening in the night light, throbbing and hard. It was nearly identical to my own, in size, in shape, in everything. I looked at it for a long moment, then looked down at my own. Both throbbing. Both hard and filling the air with the smell of pheromones and sex. I looked up at him then. Both of us naked. Both of us aroused.\n\nAll thoughts in my head of this being wrong at all had long since vanished. I wanted only to feel this wolf now. Even if i kept thinking of my wife, I knew...gradually, this wolf was dominating all thoughts in my head.\n\nHe smiled at me, and licked my face.\n\n\"So...shall we? Our clothing gone, our desire bared...shall we dance then?\"\n\nHis eyes glowed with a wicked light, and I looked at him, then whispered softly.\n\n\"Show me...\"\n\nHe pushed me then, shoving me back, so that I laid across the seats, and he knelt over me. I stared up at him. Just..stared, wide-eyed.\n\nI had never been dominated in anything. In the schoolyard, we played often at dominating each other, making each other roll, simply asserting dominance and submission. It's in our blood afterall. I had always won, as a child, because of my large size and aggressive manner. My wife had rolled willingly to me, submitting her throat to me the first date we ever had.\n\nYet here I was. Laying on my back, with a beautiful wolf straddling me. Completely letting him dominate. Giving myself over to him.\n\nI was a bitch. I was his bitch. I knew this, in some secluded thoughtful part of my brain.\n\nBut I didn't care. I had long since passed the point of caring. Wolf pheromones do amazing things to a wolf. In such a small space as that car, I was overcome. I was throbbing with desire, with fire in my veins and in my groin.\n\nI was his. And I was loving it.\n\nHe wasn't slow and completely gentle that first time. He was inept, fumbling, a young boy. I was reminded that night, of the nights in the back of my car, when my wife and I had had sex, wild sex that only teenagers in lust can have. But my thoughts of her were again...quickly pushed back.\n\nHe started at my neck. Biting against me, with that soft, husky teenage growl that I have come to adore now. His teeth against my skin made me shiver. I remember that. The first bite of passion always makes me shiver, from the bite to the tip of my toes. All the way through me. He nibbled on me, like I was some great food, his teeth just marking the skin under my fur, his saliva leaving trails of wet fur down my body.\n\nI won't share all that he did, to make me pant and moan against him. Needless to say, that young wolf proved just how not young he was. He proved, once and for all, that he knew more then that I could possibly have guessed. He drove me to heights I had NEVER felt with my wife.\n\nI thought I was going to burst, with all of his teasing, his moving so seductively down my body.\n\nUntil his tongue hit my hard member. When he licked me there, I thought I was going to die, the pleasure was so extreme. I was so much his, I just moaned and writhed against him, not caring whatsoever what he did.\n\nHe spoke huskily, his breath hot and arousing against my member.\n\n\"Turn over, lover. Turn over for me, and raise your tail to me.\"\n\nI had made my wife do this for me. On our wedding night. When we had made formal vows to be mates for life, I had asked this of her, to kneel, and raise her tail. Not for puppy-making, that mating was. That was for pleasure. For control. For my dominance. And here...a young pup was asking that of me.\n\nI shivered against him, and looked up at him, seeing him clearly, those soft gold eyes and that jet black fur pressed against me. And I turned over, and raised my tail to him. I raised my tail, because I loved him then. I raised my tail because I felt for him something my wife had never woken with me. I felt...trust. I trusted him not to hurt me, to bring me pleasure, and to please himself. I felt for him something old and primal. Lust did not rule me. My desire to please him ruled me.\n\nHe didn't hesitate. I knew the old dance, I had danced it with my wife after all. His throbbing member against my tailhole, against that tiny pucker that should only open out, not in. Him pushing, and the great pain it caused me, for him to push against me, the fluid that glistened from the tip of his member the only lubrication.\n\nHe was young. We've learned to use lube quite well since those fumblings.\n\nEventually, he was in me. Buried in me, all the way to his furry balls, which rested tightly against my ass. He straddled me, his hands covering mine, his face buried in my neck, holding me down. And I stayed down, that night. I let him take me, that child. I let him hump against my backside, his hands coming up to cradle my own member, to hold me against him. I felt safe then. Safe, complete, warm. I felt...alive.\n\nWhen he burst in me, I howled to the moon. I howled for the passion that streamed through me as his knot held him tightly inside of me. I howled as I burst against his hands, my seed streaming over his wonderful paws. And I stayed like that, kneeling before him, his knot sending gentle waves of pleasure through me. I panted for the great love I felt at that moment, washing through me, burying itself in my memories.\n\nI knew, that night, that nothing would ever compare again. I would never be able to go back to my wife, and be happy. Sex with my wife would always be...what it had already become. An act devoid of true love. Here I was, with a young wolf buried in my ass, and all I could think of was that I felt no shame, I felt nothing of sorrow or regret. Only that vast feeling of pride and love, happiness and joy. I was finally...released. For the first time in my life, I felt as if I had done something right. I felt as if I had done something that I could truly be proud of. Having sex with that young wolf was the first time in my life I felt good about myself, and my partner.\n\nThere would be no crying in my pillow that night." } ]

Adri\n\nSeline's Doctor Appointment\n\nCopyright of The Lady Adrianna 2011\n\nSeline stepped into the quiet, nicely decorated office. Glancing around, she noted with pleasure the one other girl waiting and she smiled. Nodding to the collie, she made her way to the desk to check in. \"Hi, I'm here for my four fifteen,\" she said sweetly, leaning over the counter to smile at the girl almost hidden behind the chest high counter. The squirrel looked up and met her smile with one of her own.\n\n\"Hi Seline. She's running a little behind. Just one more appointment before yours,\" the squirrel girl explained, making a notation in one of the books before her. \"It was a rush squeeze in with one of our pregnant girls. First time carrying and mistook gas for labor pains,\" she added, chuckling to herself. Tossing her honey brown hair out of her eyes, she winked up at the leopardess. \"Aren't you glad you don't have to worry about that? Maybe I should switch sides too.\"\n\n\"Abby, if you did, I'd help you over, you know that. But I don't mind waiting. Never have. Dr. Kent has always been worth it.\" Seline found herself blushing slightly beneath her fur even as she winked at the squirrel. The both know that she was one of Dr. Kent's special clients. Few got those last appointments of the day. And those that did usually left completely satisfied. The squirrel chuckled and winked right back.\n\n\"Maybe one day I'll have to see about assisting Dr. Kent in your appointment. See if it's worth giving up cock,\" she teases, eyes running over the leopard thoughtfully. Abby had been harboring those niggling little thoughts of curiosity the past few months. But who could blame her as she watched those special women leaving with a satisfied and utterly spent look time and time again. It had been a long time since her boyfriend had left her feeling like that. But teasing a sexy leopard and actually joining in were two different things. She was at heart a timid little thing. So she wasn't too surprised when Seline laughed softly and turned to head to her seat, long flexible tail already curling towards her back.\n\nSeline settled into a comfortable seat, eyes once again flicking towards the collie waiting. The girl had probably overheard her conversation with the receptionist. But after long practice, she had gotten good at hinting, but never enough to say just what the doctor did that was worth the wait. After all, she could just be talking about her skills as a doctor, since Elaine Kent was one of the best Ob/Gyns in the city. So she just smiled at the curious shy glances from the quiet girl. The feline's hazel eyes flicked down to where the girl's swelling belly was cradled by delicate paws. Her smile widened and she mouthed a congratulations to the girl, making her blush with pride, two multicolored paws stroking her belly happily. After a moment of admiring the glow of oncoming motherhood surrounding the girl, Seline bowed her head to a magazine, idly flipping through it.\n\nIn this manner she spent the next half hour, hearing the door open and one person come out. She didn't even glance up, instead tracking the progress of the previous appointment audibly. A murmur of farewell to Abby, soft footfalls to the door. The creak of the door opening and closing again and the rush of cooler air swirling around the office. Then, the nurse coming and calling the collie back. Gauging by the size of the collie's belly, she was probably about mid term. Which meant her appointment would, hopefully, be quick. A measurement of weight and belly. Listening to the heartbeats. Answering any questions then a farewell and set up of an appointment two weeks from then.\n\nSure enough, the girl returned not long later. She stopped at the counter, chatting with Abby while she set up her new appointment, a flush of excitement on her face. Seline watched this time, admiring that happy look and gave a soft jealous sigh as she knew it would probably never be something she enjoyed. The only problem with liking girls. No pregnancies, no babies, no fulfilling that maternal instinct. But, she got the pluses that canceled it all out. So, she smiled and settled in to wait a little longer. The collie left. Then a few of the nurses did. Soon, all that was left was her, Abby, one or two nurses and the doctor. Just how she liked it. When she was finally called, she was dripping with anticipation.\n\nFollowing the nurse back to the inner sanctum of the office, she hummed softly to herself. She allowed her weight and blood pressure to be taken, satisfied with both results. She chatted with the tabby, making small talk with the girl, despite the bright blush that stained the girls cheeks. Everyone left in the office knew about their employers last appointments. Some of them had probably enjoyed the vixen's skills for themselves. But they all pretended it didn't happen. And that was exactly how both patients and doctor preferred it. After all, it was against the rules for Dr. Kent to be romantic with her patients during their appointments. Against the ethical code and all that stuffy crap. Seline chuckled at her lack of proper mental phrasing. But hell, it was her mind after all. She shook her head some as she followed the tabby back to the room, nodding at the instructions to strip and put the paper gown on. As soon as the door was closed, she did just that before she took her place up on the table, humming merrily to herself.\n\nA knock at the door five minutes later had her ears perking and a glint of excitement on her features. When the door opened a moment later, she was grinning hungrily. A tall slender vixen slipped in, closing the door behind her and locking it quietly as she ran bright green eyes over the nearly nude feline waiting for her. \"Hi Seline. Here for a checkup?\" she asked, not bothering to glance at the chart in her paw. She didn't wait for Seline's answer before she was across the room and gathering the leopardess close for a hungry kiss. Muzzles meeting and melding, tongues slipping out to tease each other as soft paws ran over each others curves. A soft purr from her patient and lover had the vixen pulling back. \"You really should let me take you out to dinner sometime Sel...you take too long between visits,\" Elaine murmured, nibbling at the feline's jawline.\n\n\"Ah, but then you'd be playing favorites and you know that it's not fair to the others. Besides, you aren't supposed to date your patients, remember?\" Seline cooed back, wrapping arms and legs around the shorter more curvy female, tugging her even closer. \"Now, kiss me again and forget about dinner.\" The vixen grinned at that demand and pushed the feline back onto the half bed, shaking her head.\n\n\"First, lets do your exam,\" Elaine said, trying to look professional as she pulled the foot stirrups out of their hiding place. Seline laughed and settled her foot paws into place and then spread her legs slowly, both arms crossed under her head casually. Slowly, the vixen pushed the paper gown up and out of the way, revealing the puffy slick sex that begged for attention, barely biting back a groan. \"That's an awful lot of discharge Miss Tolson. Are you sure you're just here for a regular checkup?\" Elaine asked, a finger sliding through the arousal swollen folds, causing the feline's hips to arch. At the younger woman's nod, she grinned and pushed a finger into the tight silken depths, enjoying the feel of those walls clenching around her finger \"We'll have to clean that up then so I can get a better look to make sure,\" she said before pulling her stool close and settling on it. Licking her way up a golden thigh, she curled her finger some, finding that rough upper wall and eliciting a moan of approval from her patient. Then, her tongue was lapping at the source of those sweet juices, cleaning away the cream only to coax more out with her busy finger.\n\nSeline's fingers curled into fists in her hair, her eyes half closed as she watched her lover work, hips arching and dancing up with each lick, little mewls of pleasure falling openly from her parted muzzle. She clenched around Elaine's finger, milking it some as she rode quickly towards her first orgasm, concentrating on the long missed tongue sliding over her slick sex, moving with a skill few others had. After the years she had been coming for her checkups, the vixen knew her body. Probably better then Seline herself did. So it wasn't long before her body was grinding up against that tongue and a long low cry of bliss filled the room. She came hard on the finger and tongue, drenching the slender muzzle with her fragrant cream. And still the vixen kept licking, actually cleaning now, every drop of that release licked away until she was twitching and over sensitive.\n\n\"There, much better,\" Elaine murmured as she settled back. She licked her muzzle then finger clean as she let the feline recover, chuckling at the look of bliss on her pretty face. \"How long has it been Sel?\"\n\n\"Long time. My last visit I think,\" Seline admitted, her cheeks darkening with her blush.\n\n\"Damn girl. This weekend, you are coming to dinner with me. And I'm not taking no for an answer,\" the vixen insisted as she reached for her tools. She did still have a job to do, now that the initial need had been relieved. \"And maybe then I'll get to enjoy that tongue of yours myself.\" She winked up at the younger woman, watching the blush deepen even more before she started the exam, moving with quick practiced ease. And to her credit, Seline only winced a few times from the discomfort, staying as still as she could during the entire thing. Finally, she set the swabs aside to send to the lab and put the tools to be washed. \"Now, have you been doing your breast exams?\" she asked, parting the paper gown to reveal one perfect firm breast, her fingers sliding over it, pressing firmly as she did the dual job of exam and exploring the beautiful orb. She tried to remain as professional as possibly, even as the coral nipple hardened to a crinkled nub of need and that purr grew deeper and louder.\n\n\"Dammit, hurry up Elaine. You know I do my exams. And I'm too young to be a viable candidate anyway,\" Seline murmured as she squirmed on the uncomfortable table, legs still held in the stirrups. But the vixen took her time, chuckling down at her as she felt the need returning. It was times like this that Seline wished that the vixen didn't have her self imposed rule of no tasting her. She wanted to explore the vixen as thoroughly as she was explored. To make the older woman squirm and moan. But through all the years of visits and play, it had always been Seline naked and cumming. Elaine had remained dressed throughout. If it wasn't for the scent of an aroused vulpine tickling her nose, she would doubt whether the doctor got any enjoyment out of her hobby. But that scent was there, stronger then ever. Pushing Seline to retaliate finally with, \"How long has it been for you?\"\n\n\"Other then my own paw, a long time,\" her doctor admitted openly, finally brushing her thumb over a hard nipple, signaling the end of the exam. \"Ever since Amanda and I split four months ago,\" she added, eliciting a small sound of dismay from the leopardess beneath her. \"It's alright. We were done almost a year ago. More just staying together for the comfort of the body, you know?\" she assured before distracting Seline by drawing the nipple she had been toying with into her mouth. The start of that condolences she knew were coming were turned into a husky moan of pleasure instead, paws tangling in her hair to tug her even closer.\n\n\"Then take off those clothes and let me give you some comfort,\" Seline tried to persuade, mouth watering at the possibility of being able to taste the vixen finally. But, Elaine chuckled around her nipple and shook her head, teeth capturing the nipple gently to tug it back and forth. Whining softly in protest to the denial, she squirmed. But she hadn't expected any different. Maybe she would go to dinner this weekend. If they were quiet, who would know? But rational thought soon fled at the feel of those knowing fingers pushing inside her again, a soft thumb rubbing lightly over her clit. Crying out huskily, she arched her back, pushing up closer to that paw and mouth, losing herself in the pleasure once again.\n\nElaine took her time, working the feline up slowly this time. Or as slowly as she could with the needy girl. She knew exactly how far to push the beauty beneath her then when to stop to let her cool down, ears perking to enjoy the whimpers of need at each cool down period. Through it all, she used just her fingers, her muzzle never leaving the beautiful swells of those breasts. Finally, she pulled back some and surveyed her work, the lovely pink sex of the feline dripping with need, clit visibly throbbing with how close she was to orgasm. The breasts she had been essentially worshiping heaving with each breath, the hazel eyes glazed with need and arousal. \"Kitty is ready now I think,\" she coos as she took her seat again, paws sliding up those toned thighs, pushing them farther apart in the stirrups.\n\nThe outer folds of the feline spread with her thighs, revealing the pink tender depths to the vixen's hungry gaze, the entrance to her sex so tiny and small. Elaine marveled slightly at the size that sex could stretch to, having used the speculum to test the girl's limits before. When used right, that tool most women hated could push a needy girl into the throes of an extreme orgasm. But for now, Elaine had another tool in mind to stretch that opening open again. Mainly, her muzzle. So she leaned close, breathing in the delicious scent as her long slender muzzle nuzzled the pink flesh, tongue sliding over it to taste. And as Seline jerked in reaction, she started to push her muzzle in, spreading the needy sex open around it, her tongue flicking out to taste the inner flesh hungrily. Soon, all she could smell was the aroused leopard. Her tongue pushing even deeper into those furnace like depths, squeezed almost painfully from time to time as Seline fought off an orgasm, not wanting to cum just yet. It was a contest between them, to see how long Seline could last now.\n\nSeline's slender fingers curled around the edge of the table, eyes open and watching as the older woman pushed her muzzle deep, the long fingered paws curling around her hips to keep her steady. Green eyes met hazel as the tongue deep with in her curling and tickling against that sweet spot inside her needy sex, making her gasp and bite her tongue to counteract the pleasure that almost pushed her over. The knowing glint in those emerald eyes letting her know that Elaine had felt the answering convulsion around her muzzle. \"N..Not gonna cum that easily,\" she hissed, enjoying the feel of the muzzle spreading in a grin, the eyes crinkling.\n\nElaine pulled from the feline, licking her muzzle some as she laughed. \"I would be disappointed if you did. Now, relax and let me enjoy myself,\" she ordered, before her muzzle was pushed deep into that sex again, now moving back and forth as her tongue slid over the sensitive walls. Seline's head dropped back, harsh ragged breaths the only sound now as she reveled in the experienced muzzle working her, the tongue teasing her deeper then any other had before. And the soft puffs of air as the vixen breathed only added to the pleasure, making her twitch each time, one paw finally moving to curl in Elaine's short hair, tugging her even closer. Seline rode the muzzle now, clenching around it to increase her pleasure, not caring about the contest as she just reveled in the pleasure she was given. She always broke quickly under Elaine's loving care. But she didn't expect any less with the vixen's skill. So, with little shame, she exploded again into a climax, dragging the vixen close to her core, not bothering to muffle her cries of pleasure as she relished each wave of pleasure that fell over her trembling body.\n\nElaine pushed even deeper into the clenching folds, murring approval as she licked and lapped. She did so love the fresh clean taste of the female beneath her, that hint of sweetness that drew her back for more. Finally though, she had to pull back, lungs burning for more then the small hints of fresh air she had been able to get through the sides of her muzzle. Panting softly, she looked down at the sated leopard, a smile curving her lips. \"That is quite a beautiful sight,\" she says softly, licking herself clean as much as she could before reaching for a couple of paper towels to help finish the job.\n\nSeline blushed lightly, giving a breathless laugh as she finally closed her legs. Tugging the small paper gown over herself again, she grinned back. \"You aren't half bad yourself Elaine. Are you sure I can't return the favor today?\" she asks, her head tilting as she slowly recovered from the mind blowing orgasm. At the shake of the orange and black head, she pouted, but not for long. \"So dinner then. Where shall I meet you?\" she conceded, her blush darkening. She moved to her clothes, pulling the gown off and starting to dress as she waited for the answer.\n\n\"Oh...how about that little Italian place over on fourth street,\" the vixen replied, still working to clean the cum from her muzzle, giving her patient time to make herself decent. Finally, she glances over her shoulder and grinned at Seline, who was in the process of reaching for her shoes. The golden beauty slipped them on before answering, brow furrowed in thought.\n\n\"Don't think I've been there. It's a little out of the way for me usually. But, I do enjoy Italian food,\" she finally admits. \"I'll find it, don't worry. What time?\" She reached into her purse to pull her hairbrush out and start to smooth her red curls back into submission. The vixen watched her before turning back to the small sink to wash her tools\n\n\"How does eight sound. A late dinner then back to my place for..coffee,\" she answered, causing another blush to darken Seline's golden cheeks. At the leopard's nod, she grinned and winked. \"You look so lovely when you blush like that Seline.\" Her words only causing the blush to darken and spread.\n\n\"And you enjoy making me blush. So win win for you,\" the feline teased back as she finished getting herself back together. Moving over to stand by the older woman, she waited, long tail flicking and curling lazily. And as soon as the last tool was cleaned and put away, she tugged her into the final kiss of the visit, eyes drifting closed as a rumbling purr started in her chest. \"Saturday, eight o'clock,\" she agrees afterward, nuzzling the orange fur of her lover lightly. Elaine grinned and wrapped the taller girl up in a hug, head tilted back for those nuzzles. After a few minutes though, they had to part, knowing that the time they had together was short and already gone. Even though there wasn't any other patients waiting, they did have to head out and keep things looking normal.\n\n\"Shall we make you another appointment right now? Or see how Saturday goes?\" Elaine asked, brushing a lock of auburn hair off Seline's forehead. As those hazel eyes widened and then a smile flashed over the feline's face, she added, \"Lets wait. After all, you're right. I can't date my patients.\" Seline's blush returned as she nodded, looking pleased. But nothing else was said. Instead the two headed out, heading towards the reception desk where they parted, Elaine going behind it to join the squirrel while Seline leaned over it.\n\n\"I'll call next week to make my appointment. Got to see about my schedule first. As it was, I had to leave Justin in a lurch at work, I feel horrible about it,\" Seline found herself explaining for Abby's sake. Though she did honestly feel bad, the glow of post orgasm made it hard for her to dwell on it for long. Elaine winked behind the large fluffy tail of her receptionist, then turned to finish some of her paperwork that needed doing.\n\n\"Sure, no problem Sel. I hope you had a good visit,\" Abby chirped, her bubbly personality made even more so by the knowing grin that curved her small muzzle.\n\n\"More so then you know Abs..but I'll catch you later. Got to head home and get some laundry done,\" the leopard assured before she turned to head out. The entire ride home had her squirming slightly, remembering the vixen's talented touch and skilled persuasion of that date she'd been pushing for for at least six months. And despite her reservations to it, she couldn't help but look forward to it. If only for the chance to finally see the vixen naked and to be able to taste her.\n\nEmbroiled in these delicious thoughts, she arrived home, did her laundry as mentioned, ate a light dinner, then headed to her bed. She was determined though to not touch herself, despite the returning ache between her legs at the images she had been torturing herself with. She wanted to save that pleasure for Elaine on Saturday. So she fell asleep, needy and wet, coaxing her dreams to heated swirls of orange fur and a vixen's tongue. And was that a purple stallion holding her so tenderly?" } ]

(Don't worry, I feel obliged to put a yiff scene in each chapter, so expect plenty more 'fun' bits [two in this one :-]).)\n\nBTW White Heaven is pronounced white Haven. Not heaven as in that place with all the clouds.\n\nPS. Does anyone know any good dragon names? Something with an 'I' and a 'y' in it please. (I'm completely out of ideas for names.)\n\nWhite heaven was at once a very strange place, but oddly beautiful.\n\nIt was made mainly of red rock, with peculiar arches and oddly slanting walls, and really odd doors, which made it feel as if you were walking through a ruin. The outer walls towered over you at all times. Unlike the inner architect, these walls looked imposing, as if they would never fall. They had to be over twenty metres tall, made out of some kind of red brick. A much deeper hue than the rock used on the buildings.\n\nThe inner castle was huge, with thousands of rooms, secret passageways, huge, spiralling towers, which all were at a slight slant, adding to the air of strangeness, and giant, sweeping halls that seemed to be there just to fill space.\n\nThe whole area was a heaven for mythical animals. The first day he had been there, Hyran had passed a Pegasus and a Unicorn, whose daughter was trailing behind them, looking strange but beautiful at the same with her pearly white horn and snowy wings sprouting from her black body. He had even seen dinosaurs walking about matter-of-factly, but only the raptor species. There were lycanthropes, gryphons, griffins, and many others besides. Find a creature in a book or fairytale, and it was here.\n\n\"What the hell is this place?\" he asked Amethyst as he returned from his first exploration of the area.\n\n\"White heaven.\" Amethyst replied, as he flopped down next to her and pulled her closer, snuggling up to her warmth.\n\n\"I know that, but what is this place. Half these creatures are only in books and stories.\" He told her.\n\n\"All myth has roots in fact.\" She had replied.\n\n\"Like big dragons?\" He asked, a slight smile on his face.\n\n\"No. Big dragons are not myths.\" She said.\n\n\"You said that there are no big dragons, don't tell me you lied.\" He said.\n\n\"I didn't. There are no big dragons, there are just little ones pretending.\" She said, with the air of a person saying that one plus one equals two.\n\n\"Little ones pretending. You're having me on.\" He said, staring at her with mock-suspicion.\n\nHe was suddenly holding a towering, seven-metre-tall dragon in his arms.\n\nHe yelped with shock and leapt from the bed, drawing his sword in a reflexive movement.\n\n\"Put that little thing away.\" She said, as she returned to her normal size.\n\n\"How much other magic haven't you told me about?\" He asked, as he sheathed his sword and lay back down with her. She purred and snuggled up to him, her paws kneading at his chest lightly.\n\n\"Why are you carrying a sword?\" She asked, completely ignoring his question.\n\n\"Because there're great big monsters walking around outside the building. But stop being evasive, what other magic do you have?\" He asked again.\n\n\"A bit.\" She said reluctantly.\n\n\"Do I have to torture you for information again?\" He asked.\n\n\"Oh, yes please!\" She said eagerly, licking at his neck.\n\nHe slid his hand down her belly, and hen on to the soft lips of her sex, already moist and warm from her being close to him.\n\nHe began to gently rub them, making sure that his fingers brushed against her clitoris every now and again.\n\nAs he was rubbing, Amethyst began to tell him about all the different magic that dragons could use, telling him a single branch of magic for every five rubs or so.\n\n\"Well, we have water, fire, air, earth, thunder, lightning, ice, poison, dark, holy, divine, shape, form, matter, and a couple other bits of magic I don't know about.\" She said.\n\nHyran had stopped his rubbing and was staring at her with his mouth hanging open.\n\n\"I don't bite you know.\" She said sweetly, motioning between her back legs with her nose.\n\nHe picked his jaw up off the floor and continued rubbing.\n\n\"That's a lot of magic.\" He said weakly.\n\n\"Well, I am a dragon.\" She said, rolling fully on to her back and spreading her legs as far as they would go, cooing softly as he continued rubbing her.\n\n\"You know, I didn't notice that you're a dragon.\" He said teasingly.\n\n\"You must have been too blinded by my beauty.\" She conceded.\n\n\"I must have been.\" He said, leaning in and kissing her. \"But what's being a dragon got to do with magic?\" He asked.\n\n\"Dragons were the first magic users, silly, so we get all branches of magic in an undiluted, pure form.\" She said.\n\nHyran, his curiosity sated for a while, removed his hand. He brought his wet fingers up to face and suckled at one of them for a second, loving the taste of her juices.\n\nAmethyst reached up and lapped his hand clean for him, and then kissed him, the taste of her own juices strong in her mouth. She dragged him down onto the bed with her.\n\nHyran ran a hand down her side, returning it to her pussy and rubbing gently as he stripped with his other hand.\n\nVery soon he was naked. Amethyst rolled him on to his back, careful not to hurt his injured shoulder. She straddled him and kissed him again, her tongue meshing with his as she started to rub her whole body over his.\n\nShe found his erection with her pussy and began to gently rub her soft lips against it.\n\nHyran moaned into her mouth as she started to purr with pleasure. She moaned as she pressed downwards, impaling herself on his erection.\n\nShe began to rock back and forth slowly, savouring the act. She kissed him again, and then began to nuzzle his neck, leaning in as close as she could, while still rocking back and forth. Hyran kissed her neck and moved with her motions, complimenting her style.\n\nAmethyst rolled off him and laid down on her back, spreading her legs wide and revealing her wet and swollen pussy to him.\n\nHe took a second to admire her. She looked so magnificent with her legs spread like that, her lips just slightly reddened, her breathing hard, her golden scales shining as she stared at him lustfully, her beauty completely indescribable to someone who hadn't seen it with their own eyes, and he wondered how he could be so lucky so as to meet this beautiful, radiant creature.\n\nBut he couldn't wait any longer, so he got down between her legs and kissed her as he thrust into her.\n\nHe began to pump into her, gently at first, but then harder, needing to feel her orgasming around him. He was soon pumping smoothly into her, listening to the little sounds she made as he took her.\n\nShe spread her wings slightly, and then rolled him over so that she was on top again.\n\nShe let her wings droop as she started to move furiously, her pussy already convulsing on him.\n\nHe felt himself getting closer, and began to pump up into her, kissing her with furious passion as her juices began to run down his legs.\n\nHe thrust up into her convulsing pussy, his erection going as deep inside her body as physically possible as they came together.\n\nShe gave a cry of pure pleasure, slightly muffled because she had buried her head into his neck as they both came, his erection spilling thick spurts of cum deep inside her body as her pussy convulsed around him, massaging his member, suckling his cum from his cock eagerly as he kissed her.\n\nThey collapsed onto the bed together, in a tangle of wings and limbs, completely exhausted, exchanging kisses and whispered sweet nothings into each other's ears with complete contentment.\n\n\\* \\* \\*\n\nHyran awoke, and just stared at Amethyst at she slept. She looked so peaceful and cute, not a huge, malevolent killer like most of the tales of dragons said. He wondered how the knights could have gotten it so wrong.\n\nAmethyst opened her eyes and leaned in for a kiss, licking his face happily.\n\n\"What are we doing here?\" Hyran asked.\n\n\"Well, last time I checked I was kissing you.\" She said in that matter-of-fact way that dragons had of explaining things. Hyran had learnt, from being around Amethyst, that dragons didn't really look to the future, mainly focusing on the here and now. A good example was asking any dragon what they were doing, and they would say 'talking to you.'\n\n\"What are we doing in white heaven?\" He elaborated.\n\n\"Lying down.\" She answered. Most dragons were evasive. Not because they wanted to be, but because they took most questions very literally.\n\n\"Why are we in white heaven?\" He asked, starting to lose his temper.\n\n\"Why didn't you ask that in the first place? Silly human.\" She said, licking his neck again. \"We're here because this is basically the only place that the Halivante can't get to.\"\n\n\"Why can't they get here?\"\n\nShe sighed; in the way that Hyran had come to know signalled the start of a long explanation.\n\n\"The Halivante were created by the corrupting influence of the fires of hell, right?\" She asked, and Hyran nodded. \"White heaven was once a refuge for the demi-gods. This place was a refuge from the tides of good or evil that engulfed the land during the war of tides.\"\n\n\"War of tides?\" Hyran asked, completely confused.\n\n\"The great wars between good and evil.\" She explained. \"The gods took a very active interest in the triumph of their alignment. When a side started to lose, they would come here, where they were protected from the magic's of the other side.\"\n\n\"But why didn't one side just turn this place into a fortress. This is just confusing.\" Hyran said.\n\n\"Stop thinking about it, or you'll just go loony, silly human.\" She said fondly. \"This place was created when good and evil declared war on each other. They both created it so that, if a side was losing, they could retreat here and go unmolested by the forces of evil or good that ran rampant through the world.\"\n\nHyran had a lot of questions now.\n\n\"The good and evil declared war on each other? Haven't they always been enemies? You know, complete opposites?\" He asked.\n\n\"No, silly. Good and evil can coexist. One can't live without the other. Think of it as light and dark. Where there is light, there is always darkness, and darkness can be banished by the light.\"\n\n\"So good is light and evil is dark?\" He asked.\n\n\"Common misconception. Good is more like darkness than anything. It can be obliterated by light, but can also be stronger than the light. Think of midday. Midday is the triumph of evil, but the good, or shadow, is always there somewhere. Then, at midnight, it is the triumph of good, but there is always light on the other side of the world. Yin and Yang, light and dark, good and evil, they all mean the same thing.\" She explained.\n\n\"But, why don't the good guys just kill all the bad ones?\" He asked.\n\n\"Because that would destroy the world.\" She said simply.\n\n\"Why would it destroy the world?\"\n\n\"Silly human,\" She said again, in that very cute way she had of saying it. \"What would happen if there was no darkness in the world?\" She asked.\n\n\"Well, its impossible.\" He said.\n\n\"Exactly!\" She said, thoroughly pleased that he had grasped the point so quickly. \"Darkness is a by-product of light, so, to destroy the dark, you have to destroy the light too. But there is an exception. Evil can completely engulf the world, like darkness. Because there is no light where darkness doesn't shine, there isn't really a problem for them to take over the whole world. In this way, the evil is more like darkness.\"\n\n\"But why help the other side by building this place?\" He asked. \"Why not just imprison a few of the other side and then kill the rest?\"\n\n\"There has only been one fight between immortals, and it nearly destroyed the world. This way is easier. Its impossible to keep a demi-god imprisoned against their will.\"\n\n\"So they created this place so that they could be imprisoned, but not against their will?\" Hyran asked.\n\n\"You humans are much smarter than anyone gives you credit for. Yes, that's why they created this place. It stops them from fighting and destroying the world.\" She said.\n\n\"But what's that got to do with the Halivante?\" He asked.\n\n\"The Halivante were created from the fires of hell, the very essence of evil itself. Since the tides of evil are winning at the moment, White heaven is a refuge for any creature aligned with good.\"\n\n\"So the Halivante can't get in here until evil starts losing?\" He asked.\n\n\"Yes.\" She stated.\n\n\"So dragons are all good-aligned?\" He asked.\n\n\"No.\" She said, exasperated. \"How can you humans be so smart and yet so naive at the same time?! Every race has good and bad. Everything isn't black and white. There are hundreds shades of grey in between.\" She said.\n\n\"How can you tell a bad dragon from a good one?\" He asked, suddenly fearful of meeting an evil dragon, and it being exactly what the knights said they fought.\n\n\"Evil creatures are twisted by inner corruption, and their appearance reflects this. Every creature reacts differently. Dragons turn into red eyed, black dragons that look evil. Dogs do the same, and start breathing fire all the time. Unicorns turn black and breathe fire as well.\" She said.\n\n\"So, if it's black and breathing fire, fuck off in the other direction real quick?\" He asked.\n\n\"You humans have a way of eloquently summing things up in such a crude way.\" She said, looking sideways at him.\n\n\"Yes we do, but we have other redeeming features.\" He said.\n\n\"Like what?\" She asked, in a tone that said that she doubted it.\n\n\"Oh, we have huge cocks for one.\" He said, rubbing her neck.\n\n\"Yes, I have to agree there.\" She said, leaning into his caresses.\n\n\"And we have nice, long fingers with opposable thumbs. Very good for manipulating things.\" He said, kissing her neck.\n\n\"Oh yesss...\" She hissed, \"Very good at manipulating things.\" She said as his hand slipped lower and began to caress the moist lips of her sex.\n\n\"Please don't tease me.\" She begged.\n\nHyran stopped, looking at her questioningly.\n\n\"Just take me please?\" She pleaded, standing up and positioning herself so that her tail was hanging over the edge of the bed.\n\n\"As my dragon commands.\" He said, smiling at her and taking his clothes off, stepping up behind her and caressing her warm lips again.\n\nHe rubbed her until there was a steady flow of juices running down her legs and dripping onto the bed.\n\nHe sat down under her tail, finding that she was at the perfect height. He pressed his mouth against her lips, licking across them with little flicking strokes, making her moan and bite down on a pillow to stop from squealing with pleasure.\n\nHe ran his tongue from her clit right to the bottom, delving his tongue between her lips, making her moan around her mouthful of pillow as she started to come.\n\nHe dove into her pussy with his tongue, working it around and holding her open with his fingers as he continued with the attack. He felt her start to orgasm, and resisted the urge to lick harder, and stopped.\n\nAmethyst gave a little cry of displeasure.\n\nHyran corrected the problem by standing up and pressing his hard cock against her soft, moist lips.\n\nHe slid the head between her folds while he ran his hands up and down her back.\n\n\"Just take me please!?\" She squealed, finally losing control from the pleasure coursing through her body.\n\nHyran ran his hands up to her neck, and grasped her sides, pulling her back towards him as he thrust.\n\nHe moaned as he felt her pussy tighten around him.\n\nAmethyst squealed and began to rock back and forth, finally getting the pleasure she needed. She pressed back against him, feeling every movement of his cock inside her body.\n\nHyran started to pump harder, and Amethyst began to thrust back at him, his cock shiny with her juices.\n\nHyran could feel his orgasm welling up from inside him, and he knew from experience that amethyst was so close to cumming as well, when he heard someone enter the building.\n\nBut he just couldn't stop.\n\nHe thrust up into her body, wrapping his arms around Amethyst from behind and lifting her up on his cock as he came. He thrust hard into her, rocking her body back and forth with his last few strokes.\n\nAmethyst gave a squeal of pleasure and opened her wings, rocking back against him as hard as she could, feeling her pussy convulse around his thrusting cock as warm cum spurted into her belly.\n\nHyran thrust a few more times, and then they both collapsed onto the bed. Hyran turned towards the opening of the building, and saw Trouble standing there, breathing hard from the arousal that had awakened inside of her at the sight of Hyran taking Amethyst.\n\n\"I wish I had of arrived earlier.\" She stated as she stared at them breathlessly, somehow resisting the urge to find something to rub herself against.\n\n\"I'm done.\" Amethyst said contentedly. \"But, if you can get him hard again, you can have a go.\" She said, settling herself off to a side of the bed out of the way so she could watch.\n\nTrouble immediately leapt up onto the bed with Hyran, pouncing on him, and holding him down as she started to rub her wet lips across his cock.\n\nShe moved down his body, and wrapped her tongue around his cock and began squeezing and sucking hard.\n\nHyran moaned as he started to get hard in her mouth. She was much more aggressive than Amethyst, and the change of style was exciting him.\n\nTrouble cooed around his cock as she felt it harden, and then let go of him.\n\n\"My turn now.\" She stated, rolling onto her back and getting comfortable on the bed with her back legs spread wide.\n\nHyran took her tail between his knees, and began to kiss down her belly, making sure that he didn't place any kisses on her pussy just yet.\n\nHe kissed all around her thighs and along the sides of her lips, driving the red dragon crazy with lust.\n\nHe saw her pussy start to twitch with need, and he pressed his mouth against it, flicking his tongue up and down it with deep strokes.\n\nTrouble rolled over, pinned him again, and then turned around, waving her raised tail over his face.\n\nHyran reached up and began to lick her again, his hands running up and down her back and between her wings as she teased his erection.\n\n\"Make me cum and I'll give you what you want.\" She purred, running a single claw up the length of his cock, causing it to twitch and become, if possible, even harder.\n\nHyran began licking with abandon, trying to make her cum quickly so he could fuck this beautiful creature.\n\n\"Oh yesss...just like that...\" She purred as he pressed his tongue deep inside her and began to lap at her as deep as he could.\n\nShe took his cock into her mouth and began to suck gently as she started to come.\n\nHyran gave dove his tongue into her body and moved it around as much as he could, feeling the red dragons pussy start to convulse with orgasm.\n\nHe licked at the outside of her pussy furiously as her juices started to run freely across a neck and face already wet with Amethyst's juices.\n\nTrouble gave a great cry of pleasure around his cock and thrust her pussy against his face as she came, spilling her juice all over him.\n\nShe turned around and lay on top of him, feeling the head of his cock pressing insistently against her very wet pussy. Hyran rolled her over, sensing that she didn't have the energy to stay on top, but knowing that she still wanted more pleasure. Trouble began to lap the mingled juices off his neck and face as he started to take her.\n\nHyran gently pressed his cock against her lips, letting the head slip between them and into her body.\n\nTrouble gave a cry of pleasure and jerked her body downwards, feeling the length of his cock enter her hot little body.\n\nHyran placed his hands on her sides as he started to move, pumping steadily in and out of her slick pussy.\n\nTrouble moaned and bit into his uninjured shoulder, not breaking the skin, but applying enough pressure for him to feel a pricking sensation across that area.\n\nHe continued to pump into her, his cock once again shiny with juices, sliding easily in and out of the dragon's pussy. Hyran began to pick up the pace, not moving hard enough to rock trouble up and down like he did with Amethyst, but only just as hard as he needed to go to bring them both to orgasm in a timely fashion.\n\nHe could feel trouble nearing her orgasm, and speeded up, thrusting into her furiously, wanting to cum with her. Trouble moaned and came, biting down on his shoulder, almost breaking the skin.\n\nHyran kept thrusting into her convulsing pussy, gasping at the feeling of it, nearing his own orgasm.\n\nHe thrust up as hard as he could, a moan escaping his throat as he pulled Trouble tight against him and came, flooding her womb with strong, milky spurt of seed. Hyran kept pumping, making sure each thrust went all the way into her, until he fell to the bed next to the two dragons, totally exhausted.\n\nTrouble, already tired from a long trip, fell asleep immediately.\n\n\"That was quite a show.\" Amethyst said, snuggling up to him, settling down for a long sleep.\n\nHyran pulled her closer and fell asleep with her slow breathing in his ears." } ]

The best way to do that is to tell you my name, and were I'm from, So here goes. My name is Zack, and I live in a place called Dartin it's a small town, near some big cities. Hmm, I should also tell you what I look like. Well I'm a fox, with white fur, my tail has a black tip, I have green eyes, and this is my story.\"\n\n\"On night I was walking home when I came across a wolf on the side of the road. He was hurt pretty badly. It seemed as thou he had been mugged or some thing like that. so I picked him up and carried him home with me.\"\n\n\"At the time I was living in an old apartment. When we finely got home, I took off his close because they were wet from the storm.\"\n\n\"Oh wait a minute I forgot to tell you about the storm didn't I. well it was a bad one. One of the worst in many years. That's way I was walking home, my car spun off the road.\"\n\n\"Now back to what I was saying. I took of his close and carried him to the bath room, and gently laid him in the tub as not to hurt him any more. Then I filled to tube with warm water. After that I went to my room to change my close which were also wet. Then I went back in to the bathroom to check on my wolf friend. When I got there, he was starting to faze back to conciseness, and that's when it all started.\n\n\"Were am I ?! Ahhh! My head hurts so much did I fall or some thing? How the hell are you?\"\n\n\"Well to answer your question. Your at my apartment, I found you on the side of the road, and my names Zack nice to meat you. In addition, I think you were mugged or some thing.\" Walking over to the medicine cabinet and grabbing a bottle. \"Here is some aspirin for your head ace.\"\n\n\"After that, we talked while as he cleaned him self off. It was strange he didn't mind me being there while he was in the tube. Also his name is Tom and he's a dark black wolf with deep blue eyes and a vary nice voice. Umm were the hell did that come from. Dam can't get a head in the story. so after he got out of the tub, I got him some of my close and we sat on the couch and drank coffee for a while and talked about different thing until out of no were he kissed me.\n\n\"what was that for?\"\n\n\"I just waned to show my thanks for saving me.\n\n\"Okay, can I show my thanks for being able to be thanked be you?\"\n\n\"I didn't let him answer I pulled him in close and gave him a long and deep kiss. Before I knew it, his tongue was in my mouth and I did the same. As we sat there making out I was asking my self what was I doing I just met this person and yet I'm making out with them right now. Thou I didn't think about it to much, I was loving it and it made me so happy to be holding and kissing some one. After a while, I broke off the kiss and we sat there in silence for a few minutes before he said.\"\n\n\"Zack I think I love you, but I just met you and I have a feeling to do some thing right now but I don't know why.\"\n\n\"Tom I think I love you to, and it has to be fate that brought us to gather. I think I want that to.\"\n\n\"After I said that, I got up and walked slowly towards my room only turning around once to signal him to follow me. As he walked in, I was looking for my new bottle of KY jelly in the dresser. When I found it and turned around, he was standing right in front of me with his shirt off. He looked so amazing I almost dropped the bottle. He walked a few steps toward me, and took and threw the bottle on the bed. He then took off my shirt and we kissed for a while holding each other close. the feel of his fur on mine was unimaginable. I was so happy I didn't even notices the bulge in my pants, but Tom did and he was dead set on taking care of that little problem. He slowly bent down and unbutton my pants. Then he slowly unzipped them. I did the same to him. Thinking of what I was going to do with my little wolf. We then took off each others pants and boxers. I then laid him on the bed with me above him. I then held him there for what seemed like a eternity. The feel of his body and to mine. The feel of my member along next to mine. he then looked me in the eye and said.\"\n\n\"Take me please I want you so bad its unbearable.\"\n\n\"Well if you want me that bad than that's what you'll get.\"\n\nI then turned him over so I was facing his back. I then moved his tail out of the way and took the bottle and poured some on my now throbbing member. It felt cold but I know it would soon be wormed by my wolf. I rubbed the lube on I felt so happy that I almost came all over his back. Then I took a deep breath and said \"I love you.\" I then slowly moved my member towards his ass hole. when I felt the tip start pushing agents the side of his but cheeks I spared them apart and move my member in to him. as it stared going in to him he slightly grunted and moaned. So I went a faster, and when I was all the way in him I propped him up on his knees to make it easier. I then stared puling out of him, and he moaned with joy. I was so happy to be pleasing my wolf, and was going to be even happier when he was in me. So as I was going in and out he looked at me and so softly said \"could you go faster I want to feel you more.\" I couldn't of been happier to oblige. As I started got faster and faster he stared moaning louder and louder I was starting to sweat as I felt my self get ready to cum. when I did I made sure to push as far in as I could so that he would feel me cumming inside him. After I collapsed onto him and we laid there for only god know how long. It felt good just being in side him laying there. then he said.\n\n\"Zack that was amassing and now it my turn.\"\n\n\"Okay. I'm ready when ever you are Tom.\"\n\n\"Right after I said that he spun me over and laid me on the bed under him he pulled me over to the end of the bed. he then put on some lobe and push him self in to me hard and fast. It hurt but still felt good, then he stared pushing in and out just as hard. All I could do was grunt and moan in Paine and enjoyment. when he came in me the first time I thought he was done but I was wrong. he kept ramming me until after 5 hours and what a five hours it was. after a while I got a boner again and he started masturbating me. it felt so good to have some one else do it. before I knew it I was Cumming all over my stomach and chest. then almost simultaneous he came it me for the seconded time there was little place for it to go so it stared coming out the rim of my ass and over on to my tail and on to the bed. The feel of his cum on my tail felt so good I wondered what it would feel like all over me. I said this to him and he let me know first by Cumming on my chest then my face. As we laid there out of breath holding each other tightly we kissed and he got some of his cum on his face. So I licked it off for him, and he smiled and stared to suck my dick. I was very tired but it felt to good to make him stop so I let him do what he waned. He slowly move down my shaft than back up licking the tip then he moved back down. Then went back up, I couldn't contain my self any longer it felt so good. I was about to cum when he tried to deep throat me, and I came down his throat. He was surprised but he like it, and sucked on me until there was no more cum to be had. We then laid there for a little while before I got up and walk towards the shower and signal for him to come with me. we were both covered in cum, and smelt like sex. So we took a hour long shower. After I went back to my room and changed the sheets on the bed and then we laid down and went to sleep keeping each other warm during the stormy night.\"\n\nThe end\n\nWell I was board so I went thro this old story and tried to fix it, but it still kind of sucks. Well that's my point of view. If you like it than that's awesome. I wonder if it will be excepted." } ]

I'm a teen. A male teen. Oh, and I'm a wolf. I've just lived my life like any other fur around, growing up and dealing with most problems in school and so-forth. But lately I've been dealing with the sexual experiences of life. I guess it's because of the more-than-usual hormones of a teen, or whatever it is teens get. But for me lately, it's been a bit difficult. You see, I just don't find much...uh, interest in girls. Never have. Ever. I know why of course. I know why. I tried to tell myself that I was being stupid, I mean, how would a person know that? How? How would a person know if he was gay or not? But eventually as I \"pondered\" this dilemma, it became quite clear that I did have a reason to believe I was gay. And it had something to do with my best friend, a flaming red fox named Spencer. As time pass I began to accept and explore this new idea, feeling a bit more, I don't know... \"Free\" I guess. I kept it to myself of course. This most definitely is NOT something you tell anybody. Or at least something I wouldn't tell anybody. So it was that I went to bed one night, without a single idea of what tomorrow has in store for me. \\* \\* \\* [Clock...Toy car?...Fur-brush? No...Pens? No...c'mon, button, button, button...Aha!] My fingers numbly pressed the snooze button. It was about to blow my head off with it's damned BEEP-ing! As I sat up in bed I could still feel the alarm off in my head somewhere. \\Yawn\\ \"Aw jeez. Morning already?...Great.\" I was questioning no one in particular and had to resist the urge to collapse back into bed. Stifling a yawn with one hand, my other brushed back my headfur. I was about to get up, but with a groan of disappointment abandoned the idea. \"Idiot. Yes, that's what I am. A complete idiot...\" I had \"somehow\" set the alarm the night before. That was no biggie. Except for the small fact that I had NO SCHOOL TODAY! This time I allowed myself to collapse back in bed. After about fifteen minutes of trying to sleep--and failing horribly, I turned my head, shifting my gaze from the ceiling to my PC. \"Well....now that I'm up...might as well...\" I struggled myself up and lazily sauntered to the computer, I had decided to check my mail. I lazily fell into the chair booting up my PC before yawning again. A few more yawns, and a couple clicks-on-the-mouse later and I was at Yahoo. I had only one letter and sighed, disappointed, but before I could get away the addressee of the letter caught my eye [[email protected]](https://www.sofurry.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection)\n\n\"Mm-hmm...\" Right upon sighting his e-mail address, my laziness and boredom quickly evaporated. I felt more...peppy. I quickly clicked my way to the letter, eager to know what he'd written me for.\n\nHey 'nite, did you hear about the Matrix Reloaded comin' out? I was planning to see it today, sooooooooo...wanna come? Call me when you read this, ok? By the way, I beat that game Windwaker. The ending was ok. I'll tell you about it later, gotta go! -Spencer\n\nI wanted to call him right then and there. But I knew how to control myself. You see, me and Spence were friends. Just friends. I say that with just a bit of disappointment. Spencer didn't know about my... unsure feelings of sexuality. But if anyone were to ever know, I'd probably want it to be him. You see, I have--sometimes I get, um...you know, feelings for him. He doesn't know that I get them though. When I first began getting them I was scared. Very scared of them. But I've gotten used to them, accepted them too. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Yeah, I considered telling Spencer about this, but dismissed the idea immediately. I would have to be completely stupid to tell him that. I'd have to be nuts! I mean, what are the chances of him accepting that? Right then and there, what are the chances? What if he gets so disgusted by me that he just breaks our friendship? I...I don't think I could live with that. Without him. I waited, I couldn't call him that early, so I waited. I did my duties as usual, brushing my teeth, combing my fur, then thinking that I might see Spencer today...I did it all again. Putting down my furbrush at last, I looked in the mirror. I wasn't too bad a sight. I had light grey fur like most wolves, but rare to my species my entire body had a type of almost-unnoticeably blue tinge to it. Hence the name Midnite. As in Midnight blue. I wasn't too tall for a 16 yr old, about 5'3'' or so. I sighed contentedly to myself, drumming my fingers on the sink. My whole body, fur-and-all were done perfectly, from my ears down to my smoothly combed tail. \"Ok, enough prep-time.\" I walked-ran to the phone and pushed in his number letting the phone ring about 3 times before he answered. \"Hello? Who's speaking?\" I smiled Inwardly to myself with the air of finding out he just survived a massive train crash. \"Hey Spence, I called about the movie. What did you have planned?\" \"Oh yeah,\" He chuckled to himself. \"The e-mail I sent. Well I'm planning on seeing the Matrix. Uh, Part two I mean.\" \"Today?\" I asked swiftly, just a hint of hope in my voice. \"--unless you have another time in mind...\" \"No, today is good. As a matter of fact, in about an hour. We could go to that mall with the theatre on the third floor, buy the tickets, and then just walk around the mall before the movie starts.\" I giggled a bit. \"You mean, go MALL SHOPPING? Us GUYS? \"Midnite! You know they have an arcade at the mall. It's not like were shopping anyway.\" \"Ok,\" I got serious again. \"What time?\" I checked the clock out of the corner of my eye--12:19pm. \"Like I said, an hour from now, at, uh...one. We'll buy the tickets, and then hang at the arcade until the movie's playing. \"perfect.\" I said a little giddily. \"meet you in the southeast entrance at one then.\" \\* \\* \\* 1:03pm. My digital watch was always a minute or two ahead. I was standing at the top of a staircase. They had it here at the southeast entrance as a shortcut to the 2nd floor. There was an expensive restaurant off to the side of the staircase to which I was looking down at. Well not at the restaurant, but at the tables off to the side of it. It was one of those fancy restaurants with the tables placed conveniently outside, complete with an umbrella for shade. I was busy thinking about how rich those furs must be to eat there when I saw Spencer. Even from a distance he was just as handsome...[why am I thinking that?] The fox was walking toward the staircase in the opposite direction of the restaurant, his red fur easily distinguishable from a distance. He was as normal as any other fox, just more cute. He had the Black wrists and paws, black furred ankles and foot-paws, and from what I heard of foxes...supposedly a black fox-cock too. He was wearing a light blue almost skin-tight tee-shirt with really short sleeved. For some reason I liked it when he wore those. He had a darker blue color of jeans. I myself had a green shirt, and black jeans. He finally spotted me and came up the stairs two-at-a-time. \"Ah, whats-up 'Nite? Been waitin' long?\" He came to rest with his arm on the handle bar. I had a sudden urge to kiss him \"hello\" but stopped myself just in time.[No...can't do that...] I had been a bit pre-occupied gazing at his beautiful green eyes with my blue ones when I realized he was talking. \"Huh? Oh, um yeah. I mean, no. Not too long, only ten minutes or so.\" I was suddenly aware of my fur and haw ruffled my tail must be from the wind. I was also concerned of whether my breath was alright. \"Well, c'mon lets go. Man, I've been dying to watch this movie...\" We made our way through the mall talking about what to expect from the movie. Well , he was talking mostly, I just watched him, drinking him in with my eyes when all-too-soon we were there at the ticket line. \"Oh my god! Look at that line!\" Spencer pointed to the ticket line. I wrenched my eyes away from him and looked. There were about 20-30 furs and humans there. And even more were coming! \"Come on! Let's hurry! They might have the Matrix sold out...\" In his rush to make it to the line before a group of about ten other furs, he grabbed my hand to pull me alongside him. Time slowed for a moment. Almost all of my attention had gone to my hand held firmly in his. [he's holding my hand? Yes. He's holding my hand. My hand. He's holding it.] I stumbled to keep up as we made it to the line. I was sadly expecting him to toss aside my hand now that we were here. But he didn't. A minute passed. Two. That's when he blinked suddenly, looking at me first, then his hand, he quickly let go. I could have sworn I saw him blush redder than his fur! \"Oh, um, s-sorry, I wasn't paying attention...\" he attempted a weak laugh. I noticed his nervousness, his hesitation, but I was busy disputing with myself on whether I imagined it or not when he snapped his fingers in front of my muzzle. \"Helloooo, 'Nite, you need to buy your ticket!\" I looked up and blinked stupidly at the female hare behind the counter. \"Six dollars matinee ticket to see The Matrix Reloaded. Heard me sweety?\" The rabbit looked at me as though I was slightly nuts. \"Oh, yeah...here you go.\" I gave her some wrinkled up bills from my pocket smiling. \"Sorry...\" I took my ticket and walked away. \"Well,\" said Spencer turning to face me once we were clear of the ticket line. \"it doesn't start for another forty-five minutes. Wanna check out the arcade?\" \"Sure. Um...let's go.\" I couldn't get it out my head. Why did he hesitate? \\* \\* \\* It was about thirty minutes later and we were heading back to the theatre, I having convinced him that we should go fifteen minutes early so we could get some good seats. We gave our tickets to the ticket-fur--an otter, and walked in. Obviously a couple movies must've just finished because it was amazingly crowded with a mass of furs, humans, and etc. We both weaved our way through the traffic of furs, him leading the way, although I couldn't see him to well. He flashed in and out of sight every once in a while. But then a clearing opened and we went to walk against the wall. As long as we stood against the wall (him still leading) we walked at a good pace. My eyes shifted almost unconsciously to his butt. He had slightly tight jeans and his red, white-tipped tail held out evenly. I had a sudden desire to know how his tail fur would taste... I was so busy having my eyes thoroughly explore his cute little butt, that I didn't shift my gaze in time--he had turned his head. I guess he was checking to see if I was still behind him, but whatever the reason, he stopped walking for the smallest of a second, his head turned sideways. I watched him nervously, his flaming red muzzle beautifully distinguished. But like I said, only for a split second it lasted. Then he turned away and kept walking as though nothing had happened. [Did he...smirk?] I had cold pin-pricks in the back of my neck and my face and muzzle felt unbelievably hot, but I too kept walking as though nothing had happened. \"Almost there!\" he called back to me. [Is it me or is he holding his tail higher now?] Why did he...? [No. Not possible.] \"Here we are. Theatre twelve.\" Spencer stopped in front of a set of grey double doors. We walked in, passed a group of humans up the mini-steps and set in the middle row, not too high, not too low. We sat side by side and not a second later the lights dimmed to semi-darkness and the previews began to play. \"Uh-oh! I forgot the popcorn!\" Spencer said and began to get up. I put up a restraining paw to stop him. \"No...\" he brushed aside my paw. \"I'll buy them now while the previews are playing. Don't worry.\" And with that he ran out of the theatre only to return a few minutes later burdened with a big popcorn and two sodas. He sat down with a sigh and the movie started. \\* \\* \\* It was the middle of the movie when things were getting really good that I wanted popcorn. I reached out my hand blindly toward him to grab the popcorn but I was so into the movie I tipped it over spilling half its contents onto Spencer's lap. \"Jeez, sorry! I'll get it...\" I began to pick up the half full carton of popcorn, and placing it aside, I began to absent-mindedly brush his lap roughly with my paw. Too late I realized that I had been rubbing him down directly on his sheathe. I left my hand there, paralyzed and through my misted mind I noticed a bulge growing right where my paw was. All I can say is that I was beyond confusion. I had absolutely NO idea what was going on at that moment in time. But slowly understanding dawned on me. I looked up at him in the semi-darkness and saw that he too was paralyzed, his mouth hanging open slightly. After what seemed like hours with our eyes locked together... I guess I had made the mistake this time. I sometimes think about whether I would want to take this moment back, but I can't. As we stared at each other, I felt something happen. Thought something happened. I moved in to kiss him, I don't know why, I wasn't thinking clearly, but I moved in just the same, all of my thoughts void of fear as my lips moved only a millimeter away from his...but that was as far as I was gonna get. \"Nite, w-what are you doing?\" I plummeted back into reality just to back away, fear stuck on my face in an almost comic expression. [What have I done...] I lost it then. I completely broke. I jumped up as though bitten by a deadly bug and rushed out the row and out the theatre all together. I thrust through the double doors only to collapse my back against the wall panting heavily. [What happened?] I asked myself. [What in the world did I just do?] My heart felt suddenly burdened and as though physically affected I slid down onto the ground and wrapped my arms around my legs felling myself on the verge of tears. I felt like I had done the worst mistake ever. I couldn't stop the torrent of negative thoughts...[What if Spencer doesn't want to be my friend anymore...what if I lose Spencer?] I felt like the world fall from under me. I felt so miserable, so utterly miserable. I was so lost in my despair I hadn't noticed that Spencer had followed me out the theatre and stood staring at me, biting his lip. \"Spence...\" I jerked out of my self-pity, brushing the tears out of my eyes and looked at him. \"I'm-I'm so...sorry. I don't know w-what happened, I-I was just...and-and the popcorn, and the-the...\" I stood mumbling to myself trying to convince myself more than explain to him that it was an accident, a horrible accident. \"No...It's ok 'Nite. Don't worry about it, it's alright with me. Really. It's ok...\" He kneeled aside of me and slung a comforting paw over my shoulder--something I would have noticed, hadn't I been so down. I was so stressed, it was just too much. I stuffed my face in his chest and cried. It was as though my body cried of its own accord, I watched myself as though a spectator of my own body. Even though I was crying the thing I noticed more than anything was that he hugged me. He hugged me. Just like that. And I cried in his shoulder, feeling his warmth, smelling his fur. Being so close felt so...so right. Eventually I stopped and we left, his arm slung over my shoulder. I was so busy trying to understand the situation, to cope that I barely noticed the scoffs and mutters of disgruntled strangers as we walked by, two guys, so close together. By the time we reached my house we hadn't said a word to each other. \"'Nite?\" he said sweetly, looking deep into my eyes. His eyes were so penetrating, so full of love and comfort. \"Get some rest, ok?\" I nodded slowly and before I could do anything, he pecked me on the cheek. \"Bye 'Nite...\" He looked at me, my shocked reaction. Then he bit his lip as though he'd done something he'd been trying to do for years, smiled, turned, and walked away. \\* \\* \\* That night I thought about Spencer. I thought about what he meant by telling me to \"think things over\"...as though...as though it was a matter of coming to a decision of some kind, Maybe that is what it was. Just this morning I would have swore that I'd never be that close to Spencer. Never. Never in all my life. And right before I drifted off I felt that 'peppy' feeling, and at that moment I realized that maybe tomorrow wasn't so bad. As a matter of fact... I was looking forward to it.\n\nEnd Note: This is a story about me, it's based on some real life experiences I've had, however Spencer is only existent in this story, I had worked on this some time before the Meet Blue series and was a little scared on whether this story was good enough. But thanks to a good friend who read it, and also clued me in on how to make better paragraphing for the future J, I've decided to post it. Continuing this story over the Meet Blue is still a hard decision to make, so if you have an opinion, let me know at [[email protected]](https://www.sofurry.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection) .

Katie was a bitch, she took any chance she could to humiliate Sarah for her obesity, and she truly made her life miserable. She was also everything Sarah was not, skinny, busty, tan, beautiful, popular, and of course, a cheerleader. She was the girl all the guys lusted after.\nToday however, was a new day, it was the high school's final pep rally before summer, and for Sarah and Katie, their last of senior year, and high school in general. Sarah wanted to ensure it would go out with a bang, as a day nobody could forget. As the gym filled with students, taking their seats in the stands, the cheerleaders prepared for their cheers, stretching on the floor. Katie bent over, stretching out her lower back, and providing the audience with a great view of her moderately sized posterior, poking out in tight green panties, from underneath her white skirt. Guy's already seated simply gazed, slack jawed and drooling. Sarah was disgusted, \"Let's see how much she likes showing off her ass after tonight\" she said under her breath. The rally began the usual way, with speeches, and useless games performed by the school's meat head jocks. Then of course came the chants for each class. The cheerleaders would separate into four groups and do a cheer for a different grade. Katie was part of the senior's cheer group, and as the head cheerleader, was also at the top of the hand stand. The cheer's progressed down the line, and soon enough it was time for the senior cheer. Katie was launched into the air, standing atop the other cheerleaders hands she began to shout, \"Give me an R!\" the seniors roared back, \"R!\" Sarah decided she didn't want to wait, it was time for her to take revenge. She began to whisper something inaudible under her breath.\nKatie started again, \"Give me an.. an A\" she began to look worried. She felt something in her chest, a strong growing pressure. \"A!\" the crowd responded. \"Give.. me.. a.. V\" Katie was starting to panic. Her tits slowly started pushing out her white cotton sweater. After growing a few inches, reaching E cups the audience began to take notice (as that's where most of the guy's attention was anyway). \"Look at Katie's Tits!\"\n\"Her boobs are blowing up!\"\n\"Holy shit, the silicon must be leaking!\" (which of course made no sense)\nThey were approaching the size of regulation size soccer balls, and fast. Katie started again, \"Give me a, a... uh.\" She was horrified as she stared down at her chest, \"the saline must have had some sort of reaction!\" she thought to herself. Her breasts continued to swell, quickly reaching basketball size. Rips and pops could be heard throughout the gym as the stitching in her sweater started to give under the pressure. \"She going to burst right out of that top!\"\n\"Not if she pops first!\"\n\"Show us your tits!\"\nEchoed the student body. The pain was terrible, she could literally feel her skin stretching to accommodate the new amount of mass, which apparently was a lot of weight as well. The girls holding up Katie collapsed under the growing pressure, and dropped her to the floor. Lying on her back, she was momentarily pinned by her ever expanding orbs, which now looked to be the size of the overblown beach balls. \"It's the twin peaks!\" someone yelled.\n\"Those volcanoes look ready to blow!\" screamed another.\nEveryone thought it was some kind of joke. The high school students, didn't realize the danger Katie was facing. Sarah giggled watching Katie struggle to her feet as everyone gawked in awe, or yelled some type of derogatory joke. Katie didn't know what to do, her added bulk made it difficult if not impossible to move. She looked down at herself and screamed, \"somebody help! My tits are killing me! They feel like they're about to explode!\"\nPOP!! The top button of her sweater burst, flying into the audience.\nPOP!!POP!!POP!! The rest of the buttons followed in succession. Her breasts, which had now expanded to the diameter of spare tire, exploded forth, stretching her sports bra to the limit. The swelling slowed, coming to a stop. Her breasts shined, looking extremely tight, almost as if they were ready to burst at any second, or that the slightest poke or prod might pop them. She tried to cover them as best she could with her arms, but her effort was vain, as they were far to large to hide from anyone at this point.\n\"HELP!!! SOMEONE DO SOMETHING BEFORE I EXPLODE!\" Katie roared. \"They're so big\"\n\"Those tits look ready to rupture!\"\n\"Stick her with a pin!\"\n\"I can see my reflection in those things!\"\nThe crowd was relentless.\nThere she stood, with what appeared to be two nigh bursting breasts each the size of mini hot air balloons strapped to her chest and surrounded by students who were of no help, and only felt the need to watch and make jokes. The faculty was also of no help, all outside smoking, waiting for the damn pep rally to finish, they didn't want to be any part of the \"school spirit.\"\nAs if her situation wasn't bad enough, Sarah wasn't near finished, Katie had tormented her for ages, and she was getting what was coming to her. Katie gasped. Her hands shot to her rear, which slowly began to push outwards as her ass began to fill with whatever was inflating her. She tried to push back into the burgeoning flesh, as if to stop it from pumping up, but it was no use. \"Look! Look! Her butt's blowing up now too!\" Someone shouted. Each buttock looked to be the size of a volley ball, and were both growing fast, and filling with immense pressure, quickly pushing up the back of skirt, and drawing it skin tight in the front. \"Help please, my butt is filling with something! Please, someone! Its so tight!\" Katie was near tears, she was so humiliated and at the same time terrified for her life. What if she didn't stop inflating, would she explode?\nRIIIPPP!\nKatie's panties floated to the floor, not able to cover her exponentially inflating ass cheeks. A tear started to roll down her face as the boys in the stands began to howl! As her butt slightly jiggled from the loss of undergarments. \"Show us that fat ass!\"\n\"Baby's got back!\"\n\"Those things would make a great set of bongos!\"\nHer buttocks were each the size of basketballs now, distended about a foot and half behind her and like her breasts also looked as if they might burst, taking on a sheen of their own. Her rotund rump looked like a shelf big enough to rest a six pack of beer. The only thing covering it was her now skin tight skirt. Her butt's growth also slowed to a stop. There was a silence. For the first time since the inflation started. Everybody was waiting for something to happen next.\n\"WHY ISNT ANYONE DOING ANYTHING!!!!\" Katie screamed. Jennifer, one of the other cheerleaders cautiously approached Katie. She didn't know how to help her or what to do. But she felt that she should do something now that the swelling had ended. \"God Katie, you're all tit's and ass, you look ready to pop...\" she said. \"I know, I think it's the implants, I think it was a chemical reaction to something I ate I guess, please get help! I feel like I'm literally about to explode! My tits and ass feel so tight, I can feel the skin actually stretching\" Katie explained, out of breath. Jen didn't respond, she still seemed to be in shock... She stuck out her hand, approaching Katie's left orb. She slapped it, a resounding thump echoed throughout the gymnasium. Katie yelped, her left breast was sent into a jiggling frenzy, shaking her entire body and even rippling through her ass. Jen burst into laughter, \"ahhahaah, that's what you get you silicone slut!\" Jen had walked in on her boyfriend cheating on her with Katie the month before, and probably hated her almost as much as Sarah now. Heck, nobody in the entire school liked her, she had essentially burned every bridge she had ever made, and most of the guys were enjoying this too much to stop it. As the jiggling came to a stop Jen reached out both her arms this time. \"Stop! Stop\" Katie screamed, terrified of what Jen might do next... She placed each hand on either side of Katie's right breast, who let out a soft gasp, she looked Katie in the eye and squeezed as hard as she could. Katie's scream of pain filled the gym has her breast dangerously bulged under the added pressure, looking as though it was seconds away for exploding. Jen let go and turned to her classmates letting the breast return to natural form and bounce relentlessly, Katie let out a sigh of relief, \"Yup! Her big plastic tits have made her what she always wanted, a real life blow up doll!!\" The gym filled with laughter of the students.\nNext she put her hands around Katie's still slim waist and in one swift motion turned her so that her now ample rump was now facing the crowd. \"Her butt is just as fake as her tits!\" Jen yelled reaching out to give them a hard pinch. Katie began to full on cry now. Then something happened. Sarah grinned.\nKatie's eyes grew wide, she could feel a new pressure building, it felt as if it was consuming her entire body. \"Oh my god!\" she yelled, her tears stopping, as everything began to inflate at the most rapid pace yet. Her tits ballooned out even farther, her ass swelled out to the size of inflated exercise balls and her stomach began to swell, and fast. In moments she looked 6 months pregnant, than 9 months, then 3 months overdue. Her stomach began to round out her entire body. She was turning into a giant ball! \"Help me! Help me! I'm blowing up everywhere!\" Jen slowly backed away, no longer sure what to do.\n\"Shes blowing up like a ballon!\"\n\"She going to pop!\"\n\"She's turning into a giant zeppelin!\"\nThe students wouldn't let up.\nSNAP! Her sports bra exploded off her enormous breasts letting them bounce freely. Her Skirt split down the side and flew off her ass. She swelled and swelled, before long Katie sat in the middle of the gym, a giant ball with two enormous breasts. Only divits remained where her hands and feet were (they had sunk into the blimp she had become). Her beautiful face remained perfectly unaffected, resting atop her newly inflated form, almost being smother by her dangerously large orbs which were her tits. \"Holy shit, shes so fat!\"\n\"Hit the deck before she blows!\"\n\"Shes filling with silicone!!\"\n\"This is just like that willy wonka movie, can we can juice silicon though?\"\nKatie looked around panicked. \"WHY ARE YOU ALL JUST SITTING THERE, HELP ME BEFORE I BURST!\" All seemed hopeless when out of nowhere, Sarah stood up and came out of the stands, holding something in her hand which appeared to be a giant belt. Katie glared at her, \"Don't come near me!\" fearing she would try to pop her. \"I'm here to help you..\" Sarah said softly. \"Someone in the audience said something about juicing you, I figure maybe we can squeeze you?\" \"GET AWAY FROM ME!\" Katie Screamed, \"YOU'LL TRY TO POP ME FOR SURE!\"\n\"I guess that's just a chance I'm willing to take\" Sarah said as she began to wrap the belt around Katie's waist. \"No! No! No! Someone get her off of me!\"\nThe crowd simply watched in awe, as if it were some type of bad horror/comedy. Sarah buckled the belt and snapped her fingers. Katie's eyes went wide, \"What the!?\"\nThe belt began to constrict. Growing tighter and tighter around Katie's waist. Flesh began to bulge around either side of the belt, giving Katie a very cartoonish hourglass figure.\n\"OOOOOOOOOH MY GODDDDDDDDDD!\" Katie screamed. Trying to flail her little hands.\nThe tightening picked up, squeezing Katie, and displacing whatever she had filled with, into her already mammoth breasts. \"GET THIS BELT OFF MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I'M GOING TO EXPLOOOOOOOOOODE\"\nThe belt constricted even more. Sending a final rush of whatever was filling straight to her tits.\nBANG!!!BANG!!! BANG!!\nKatie's breasts exploded, followed by the rest of her. Sarah smiled and began slowly walking to the exit, trying not to step on any silicone on the way out. \"What the fuck..\" was the only whisper heard from the audience.\n" } ]

She scrambled up, shaking her head to regain hearing. It was a stupid instinct, seeing it probably only made the situation worse. She was very relieved to hear her half-prick ears flap against her head. She looked around moaning softly, pain shooting through her back. Everything was different. There were trees, many, many trees. Bushes. A soft dirt ground. And the most discomforting - no other military personell to be seen. Noelle crawled over to Alan. Fear rose, seeing him lie there so motionless. Her paws shook as she reached for his throat, checking his pulse. He was alive. His pulse was racing. Suddenly, Alan started to growl. Noelle flinched, drawing her paw back. Alan shot up, baring his teeth. Noelle scrambled back, frightened. Alan's face softened when he realized who was fondling his neck. He pulled himself over to her and locked her in his arms. \"Thank God you are alive,\" he mumbled. She nuzzled into his chest. \"I thought you were the gonner.\" Alan subconsciously stroked over her head. \"Where are we?\" Noelle turned her head once more to see if she hadn't been mistaken the first time. \"It looks like we're in a middle - European forest.\" \"That can't be. We were in the middle east. We were blown up.\" Alan paused. \"Oh my God, we were blown up...\" His eyes frantically searched Noelle's. \"Don't be silly. We're not dead.\" He shivered. \"Are you sure?\" Noelle cocked her head in disbelief. \"Try to get up. Tell me, are you in pain?\" Alan started getting up. He felt like a rusty, creaky machine, starting up again after a long period of not operating. He groaned. \"Oh my God, I am....fucked.\" He glanced over to Noelle, clenching is teeth. She had a 'told-ya-so' expression on her furry, blue face. \"This place seems off to me. Listen.\" Alan perked his ears. \"I don't hear anything.\" \"Exactly. In a forest like this, there should be a lot of noise. Birds. Insects. Other creepy crawlies. Maybe some deer.\" He gave her a questioning look. \"Hey, my dad is a wolf. I'm programmed to notice these things.\" Alan sniffed the air. \"It doesn't smell like a forest either. It smells clean.\" A growl started to rumble deep in his throat. \"Maybe we're just exhausted from the explosion. Maybe we can't hear or smell like we should. Maybe we should sleep.\" \"I'm not sure we should. I think it'd be more productive to see where we are.\" Alan sighed and nodded. He knew it wouldn't be of much use to argue with her. He stuck out his paw for her to grab. She took hold of it and he heaved. Noelle didn't get up. \"Y'know, this isn't really the best time to be joking around.\" The growl in his chest was starting to rise. Noelle flattened her ears. \"I'm sorry, my legs must have fallen asleep. Let me try again.\" Alan pulled again and Noelle struggled. \"What's wrong?\" A tear rolled down Noelle's snout. \"I can't feel my legs.\" Panic rose in both of their throats. \"Are you sure?\" Noelle's paws shook. She reached down to touch them. She nodded. Alan bent down and pet over her legs too. He looked up to Noelle. More tears rolled down her snout. He knelt down next to her and took her paws into his. \"Don't cry, Noelle. I'll carry you.\" She hugged his neck, burying her face in his fluffy crown of fur. He picked her up, gently cradling her in his arms. He looked up at her, tears streaking her muzzle and cheeks.\"Thank you, Alan.\" He smiled softly at her, giving her nose a slight touch with his. He started off, heading east. The sun was rising, they were sure of that. The features of the forest didn't differ much. It was all the same. There were many birch trees. Noelle was too exhausted to notice any wildlife, Alan was too concentrated on his thoughts to think of his surroundings. The travelled two miles, hoping to come to a clearing. There was nothing in sight, besides the many, many trees... They started to worry. Alan let Noelle slide back to the ground. Their eyes met for a brief moment, letting both of their lips quiver into a smile. \"Y'know,\" Noelle started, \"I'm hungry.\" Alan frowned. \"I don't know what we're going to do. I'm thirsty too.\" Noelle turned her head slightly to the side, staring out into the forest. It was useless to try to determine how far anything would be. \"Maybe we should just rest for the rest of the day. We'll see what we can do tomorrow.\" Alan sat down across from her. He fidgeted with his paws. He couldn't bare keeping his thoughts in him much longer. His voice trembled. \"I wonder how Celeste is doing.\" Noelle grimaced. She also wondered how Timothy was. If he didn't know where she was...or if he did know something happened to her, he'd be devastated. She heaved a sigh. \"She's probably worried. Very worried.\" Alan peered over to her, very uneasy with himself. \"Mhm.\" \"You don't think so?\" \"I do.\" Alan looked down at his paws. It was involountary and a mistake. Noelle lowered her gaze. \"What's wrong Alan?\" \"It's...I don't know. I don't think she'll wait.\" Noelle raised her brows. \"You don't trust her?\" \"I do.\" Alan flattened his ears. A growl was building deep in his chest. \"Why don't you trust her?\" Noelle asked softly. Alan snarled. \"I just told you that I do.\" \"You know very well that's not the truth. You know very well that I can feel that that's not the truth.\" Alan started to show his teeth. Noelle lifted her lips just enough to show her fangs. \"Don't get primitive here. Tell me what happened.\" Alan shivered. Noelle had a wonderful aura about her. Once she showed any sign of aggression, it seemed that the aura would crush anyone who got in her way. Very authorative. \"I'm sorry.\" He mumbled. \"It was about a month ago. She went off with a dog. A Hova.\" Noelle jolted. Timothy was a Hova. \"I don't know who it was, I don't know his name. Nothing.\" Noelle wagged her tail. Her excitement levels were rising. \"That's horrible, Alan. I can understand why you are so worried all the time. If it bothers you so much, why don't you just leave her?\" Noelle expected him to explode, to say she was a horrible person. To pounce at her with his raving maw. \"She's pregnant.\" A simple yet very compelling sentence. \"What?\" She was taken aback. It was surprising. \"Isn't that just another reason to say adieu?\" \"Its mine.\" Noelle's tail wagged a bit faster. \"Staying with the mother just for the sake of the child. How noble.\" Alan sniffed and looked her in the eye. \"Do you find this amusing?\" \"Not really. Why?\" \"Why are you wagging your tail?\" Alan looked at her in spite. \"Dogs don't always wag their tails because they are happy. They generally wag when the are excited.\" \"And you told me not to be primitive.\" Alan grinned. Noelle flattened her ears and looked away. \"I can't help it.\" Alan chuckled, relieved to have changed the subject. He enjoyed going back to simple things like teasing his soul. \"Well, your domestication is only half way done. Maybe I should give you some extra lessons in being a civilized anthromorph.\" Noelle gasped sharply. \"You are telling me I am wild? You are a fox! At least I'm half civilized.\" Her tail thumped fast rhythems on the soft ground. \"I didn't say you were wild. I've never seen your wild side.\" Alan smirked. She let out a soft growl and smiled. \"No. No you haven't.\" Alan laughed. It broke off suddenly with him thumping to the ground. Something brown whizzed by Noelle's head, just brushing her fur. All of Noelle's primitive senses kicked in. She lifted her nose, perked her ears and stiffened. \"That was a deer,\" she whispered." } ]

Er hatte ihm gerade die angebliche Wahrheit erzählt und das überforderte den alten Fuchs ein wenig. Plötzlich spürte Toka wie die Arme seines Vaters sich fester um ihn legten. Er sah zu ihm auf und blickte in ein unbeschreibliches Gesicht. So viel Trauer und Angst aber gleichzeitig auch Freude hatte er noch nie so bei seinem Vater gesehen.\n\n„Es tut mir leid Papa. Deswegen wollte ich es dir nicht erzählen, aber ich konnte die Schmerzen nicht mehr aushalten.\", erwiderte Toka nun auf den Blick seines Vater, der ein paar Mal tief durchatmete, sich erst innerlich etwas beruhigen musste und dann aber antwortete: „Schon okay Tokala. Ich denke, ich kann damit halbwegs umgehen, aber deiner Mutter sagen wir das auf keinen Fall. Sie würde das nicht verkraften. Es tut mir unendlich leid. Ich kann es gar nicht beschreiben wie es mir gerade geht. Einerseits wäre ich wohl vor Angst um dich gestorben, wenn ich es gewusst hätte, dass du im Wakanda-Wald gelandet bist. Dazu wäre ich aber auch ziemlich wütend darüber, dass ihr überhaupt in diese Richtung gelaufen seid und ehrlich gesagt, würde ich dich dafür jetzt gerne erwürgen. Andererseits war ich aber auch noch nie so froh darüber dich nackt auf meinem Schoß sitzen zu haben, als jetzt gerade in diesem Moment.\", erklärte der alte Fuchs und lachte dabei kurz auf.\n\nNatürlich wollte er das zum Schluss etwas scherzhaft rüberbringen, doch Toka war im Moment nicht nach lachen zumute, denn sein Gewissen machte im gerade die Hölle heiß. „Ich weiß nicht was Moki gerade seinen Eltern erzählt, ob er sie belügt oder nicht. Keine Ahnung, aber sollten sie dich fragen und scheinbar die Wahrheit nicht kennen - ach was rede ich da. Du weißt eher was das Beste ist als ich.\", murmelte Toka leicht grinsend vor sich hin.\n\n„Ja ich weiß schon was du sagen willst und ich denke mal ich entscheide es, wenn sie mich fragen. Ich kann das jetzt nicht sagen wie ich reagieren werde, aber jetzt mal was anderes - tut dein Hintern sehr weh? Ich meine, wenn die euch mit Holzlatten geschlagen haben, dann muss er doch höllisch wehtun oder?\", fragte der alte Fuchs besorgt.\n\nToka erhob sich vom Schoß seines Vaters, der ihn daraufhin verwundert anschaute. Der junge Fuchs beugte sich leicht nach vorn, legte dabei den Schweif zur Seite und streckte seinem Vater damit seinen Hintern praktisch unter die Nase. „Sieh es dir selbst an.\", antwortete er auf den fragenden Blick des alten Fuchses.\n\nSein Vater strich vorsichtig mit seiner Hand durch das Pofell seines Sohnes und betrachtete dabei die Haut darunter. „Oh mein Gott.\", stammelte er, denn das Fleisch unter dem Fell war in ein tiefes Rot gefärbt und kräftiger als das Rot ihres Felles. „Wir gehen heute noch auf jeden Fall zu einem Arzt Tokala.\", sprach der alte Fuchs mit einem bestimmenden Ton und erhob sich dabei vom Stuhl. „Wie bitte?\", konterte der nur geschockt. „Ja und da gibt's keine Diskussion. Zieh dich an. Wir fahren sofort los.\", bekräftigte sein Vater und verließ daraufhin das Zimmer, noch bevor Toka irgendwie reagieren konnte.\n\nDer alte Fuchs lief die Treppe runter in die Küche und sah auch schon die Augen seiner Frau. Die hatte natürlich das Jaulen ihres Sohnes gehört und auch Tiko verkroch sich aus Angst vor seinem Vater hinter seiner Mutter. „Keine Sorge Schatz, es ist alles geklärt. Ich fahr mit Toka schnell zum Arzt. Er hat sich bei ihrem kleinen Ausflug eine Verletzung zugezogen, die meiner Meinung nach ärztlich begutachtet werden sollte. Ich denke aber es ist nicht weiter schlimm.\", erklärte er, worauf die Füchsin erleichtert aufatmete.\n\nAls der Vater jedoch Tiko sah, wie der sich versuchte hinter den Beinen seiner Mutter zu verstecken, lächelte er ihn an und sprach im fröhlichen Ton: „Na na - du wirst doch keine Angst vor mir haben Tikola? Dein Bruder hat sich nur etwas wehgetan. Er ist bald wieder okay. Na komm her Krümel. Ich tu dir doch nichts.\" Daraufhin rannte der kleine Fuchs lächelnd in die Arme seines Vaters und dieser nahm ihn kurz auf den Arm. Nach zwei drei Küssen und etwas Schmusen setzte der alte Fuchs seinen Sohn wieder ab, worauf dieser fröhlich ins Wohnzimmer lief.\n\n„Ist wirklich alles okay? Du hast ihm doch nicht den Po versohlt und fährst deswegen jetzt mit ihm zum Arzt oder?\", erkundigte sich die Füchsin leise etwas besorgt, sodass Tiko es nicht hörte. „Ich war tatsächlich soweit, dass ich es tun wollte und dreimal habe ich sogar auf seinen Hintern eingeschlagen, aber dann konnte ich es nicht mehr und wir haben es anders geklärt. Die Wunde, wegen der ich mit ihm zum Arzt fahre, befindet sich an seinem Po ja, aber ich habe sie nicht verursacht, dass musst du mir bitte glauben. Du kennst mich nun schon so lange und du weißt - ich könnte die Beiden niemals wirklich verletzen, egal wie wütend ich auch bin. Dafür bin ich zum Glück einfach zu schwach und ich bitte dich mir zu vertrauen Schatz.\", erwiderte der alte Fuchs und seine Frau nickte ihm natürlich lächelnd zu.\n\nKurz darauf kam Toka auch schon die Treppe runter. Er hatte ein weißes T-Shirt angezogen und trug nur eine lockere kurze Hose. Der alte Fuchs schnappte sich seine Schlüssel und sein Portmonee und beide verließen sie das Haus. Gerade als Toka vorn auf der Beifahrerseite einsteigen wollte, sprach sein Vater jedoch: „Nein Toka du steigst hinten ein und legst dich mit dem Bauch auf die Rückbank.\" „Wieso das denn?\", fragte der junge Fuchs verwundert nach, worauf der alte Fuchs erklärte: „Weil ich nicht will, dass du dich hinsetzt. Wenn wir das Ok vom Arzt haben, dann ja, aber bis dahin wird dein Hintern geschont. Also ab nach hinten.\"\n\nGenervt stieg Toka hinten ein und legte sich auf die Rückbank. Sein Vater fuhr los und auch im Wartezimmer des Arztes, musste Toka stehend warten. Es dauerte aber nicht lange und sie kamen dran. Die beiden Füchse gingen ins Behandlungszimmer und kurze Zeit später kam auch schon der Arzt. Ein etwas älterer Dachs im weißen Kittel reichte ihnen die Hand und begrüßte sie: „Guten Tag die Herren. Doktor Palan mein Name. Was kann ich denn für sie tun?\"\n\nWährend sich Toka's Vater auf den Stuhl vor den Schreitisch setzte, nahm der Dachs dahinter Platz, nur Toka selbst blieb natürlich stehen. „Ja also der Grund warum wir sie um Hilfe bitten, ist sehr peinlich für meinen Sohn und daher übernehme ich kurz das Schildern der Geschehnisse für ihn. Mein Sohn hatte sich vor den Sommerferien in seiner Schule mit einigen anderen Schülern gestritten und die haben ihm heute Vormittag aufgelauert und ihn überwältigt.\n\nNachdem ihm ein Schüler einen Socken in sein Maul gestopft hatte, wurde er zusätzlich mit einem Gürtel daran gehindert diesen wieder auszuspucken. Dadurch unfähig um Hilfe zu rufen, zogen sie ihm anschließend die Hose aus und brachten ihn zu einem Tisch. Auf diesen Tisch legten sie seinen Oberkörper und hielten sowohl Arme als auch Beine fest. Ein weiterer Schüler hielt seinen Schweif hoch, während ein anderer mit einer Holzlatte auf seinen Po einschlug. Mein Sohn weiß nicht wie lange sie ihn auf diese Art misshandelt haben, allerdings habe ich mir seinen Po angesehen und habe ihn daraufhin nun hier zu ihnen gebracht.\", erläuterte der alte Fuchs kühl.\n\nToka hielt sich nur die Hand vor die Augen, jedoch nicht weil er sich schämte, sondern weil er nun wusste, dass er sein Talent zum Lügen ganz sicherlich nicht von seinem Vater geerbt hatte. Diese Lüge hätte nämlich nicht mal die leichtgläubigste Lehrerin an seiner Schule geglaubt, so unglaubwürdig hatte der alte Fuchs sie gerade erzählt.\n\nDer Dachs sah ihn kurz mit erstauntem Blick an und atmete einmal tief durch. Er ließ sich in seinem Stuhl zurückfallen und überlegte einen Moment, erst danach sprach er: „Also - ich muss sie als erstes darüber informieren, dass ich gesetzlich dazu verpflichtet bin das dem Jugendamt zu melden und zwar aus zwei Gründen: 1. Sollte all das wahr sein, ist auf jeden Fall der Staatsanwalt dafür zuständig, da es sich um schwere Misshandlung und Körperverletzung handelt und diese Schüler rechtskräftig von einem Richter verurteilt und bestraft werden müssen. 2. Könnte all das eine Lüge sein, um eine Misshandlung durch ein oder beide Elternteile zu vertuschen. In diesem Falle wären auch hier die Staatsanwaltschaft und dazu noch der gesetzliche Vertreter des Jugendamtes dafür zuständig. In jedem Fall aber würde es eine ausführliche Untersuchung des Ganzen geben, bei dem alle Aussagen, alle Beweise und alle Vorwürfe genauestens von der Polizei geprüft würden.\n\nSoviel dazu - nun sage ich ihnen, warum ich die Meldung vielleicht nicht mache. Ich weiß nicht ob es eine Lüge ist, aber ich vermute es. Ich weiß nicht, ob es Misshandlung durch das andere Elternteil ist oder nicht, aber ich glaube es nicht und daher sehe ich keinen Grund für die Meldung. Allerdings muss ich dazu meinen Bericht fälschen und falsche Angaben machen. Das könnte mich meine Zulassung und meine Praxis kosten, zudem mich sogar vielleicht ins Gefängnis bringen. Ich möchte daher nun von ihnen wissen, warum ich es nicht melden sollte?\"\n\nDer alte Fuchs sah den Arzt kurz an und erwiderte: „Okay. Ich glaube sie sind ein ehrlicher Bürger und meinten das jetzt nicht als Anspielung auf eine Bestechung. Aus diesem Grund frage ich daher nun sie: Was wollen sie?\" Der Arzt sah den Fuchs mit ernstem Blick an und antwortete direkt: „Ich möchte alleine mit ihrem Sohn sprechen und die Untersuchung durchführen.\" Nach einer kleine Weile des Schweigens warf Toka ein: „Geh raus Papa.\" Dieser sah seinen Sohn erstaunt an, nickte aber und erwiderte dabei: „Okay mein Sohn. Ich warte im Auto auf dich.\"\n\nNachdem der alte Fuchs die Tür hinter sich geschlossen hatte, sprach der Arzt: „Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass du mir nicht erzählst was wirklich passiert ist. Lieg ich da richtig?\" Toka sah den Arzt an und erklärte: „Mein Vater hat gelogen, aber weder er noch meine Mutter haben mich misshandelt. Ich weiß sie machen sich nur sorgen um mich und müssen sich ans Gesetzt halten, aber in diesem Falle wäre eine Ausnahme das Richtige. Darauf gebe ich ihnen mein Wort.\"\n\nDer Dachs überlegte kurz, erhob sich aus seinem Stuhl und sprach dabei: „Na schön. Du bist alt genug und scheinst auch die nötige geistige Reife zu besitzen, um das korrekt beurteilen zu können. Ich vertraue dir daher und werde die Meldung nicht machen, allerdings werde ich mir jetzt deinen Po ganz genau ansehen und untersuchen und du wirst das über dich ergehen lassen müssen, denn das wird stellenweise etwas wehtun. Eigentlich reicht in solchen Fällen ein Blick und etwas Abtasten, doch in deinem Fall gehe ich kein weiteres Risiko ein, das verstehst du doch sicher?\"\n\nToka erwiderte nickend: „Ich verstehe es. Tun sie was sie tun müssen. Sie haben meine Erlaubnis.\" Der Dachs nickte zufrieden und zog sich einen kleinen Drehstuhl mit Rollen heran. Nachdem er diesen vor der Liege platziert hatte, sprach er: „Bitte zieh deine Hose aus und beug dich über die Liege. Ich bin gleich soweit.\" Toka folgte der Anweisung und zog sich die Hose aus. Nachdem er diese auf die Liege gelegt hatte, beugte er seinen Oberkörper nach vorn und stützte sich auf der Liege ab.\n\nDer Dachs suchte noch einige Dinge zusammen und legte diese auf ein Tablett. Ein weiterer Stuhl diente kurzerhand als Ablage für das Tablett und diesen stellte er neben seinem Stuhl bereit. Toka sah neugierig auf das Tablett und entdeckte allerlei verschiedener Instrumente. „Was hat dieser Arzt mit meinem Hintern alles vor?\", dachte sich der Fuchs und richtete seinen Blick dabei wieder nach vorn. Wenige Minuten später kam der Dachs auch schon zu ihm und setzte sich hinter ihm auf den kleinen Stuhl. „Ich fang jetzt an. Wenn du Angst bekommst oder dir etwas zu schmerzhaft ist, dann sag es bitte.\", sprach der Arzt, worauf Toka nur nickte.\n\nKurz darauf fuhr der Dachs mit seinen Händen vorsichtig durch Toka's Pofell, wie es der Vater getan hatte und sah sich erst mal die Farbe der Haut unter dem Fell an. Erstaunt über das kräftige Rot, erwiderte der Dachs: „Ich weiß nicht wer es getan hat und warum, aber dein Po ist mehr als gründlich durchgeprügelt worden. Ich bin jetzt seit über 40 Jahren Arzt und habe leider viel zu oft Kinder mit wunden Pos bei mir, aber deiner stellt echt alles in den Schatten. Das muss unvorstellbar scherzhaft gewesen sein und ich hoffe, wer auch immer dir das angetan hat, der schmort für alle Ewigkeiten in der Hölle.\"\n\nToka verkniff sich eine Antwort darauf und der Dachs fing mit der Untersuchung an. Als erstes tastete er sehr genau seine Pobacken ab, was Toka schon etwas wehtat. Immer wieder schüttelte der Arzt den Kopf, denn das Fleisch, das er da abtastete war so weich wie Götterspeise. Danach nahm er eine Luppe mit einem Licht dran und sah sich die Haut unter dem Fell nochmal genauer an. „Es war wirklich eine Holzlatte, das steht schon mal fest. Du hast unzählige feine Holzsplitter in deinem Po.\", sprach der Dachs und durchstreifte weiter das Fell des Fuchses.\n\nNachdem er auch das erledigt hatte, zog der Arzt vorsichtig Toka's Pobacken auseinander und sah sich das Loch an. Er sah was er befürchtet hatte und fragte den Fuchs mit ernstem Ton: „Ich erwarte von dir jetzt eine ehrliche Antwort ohne Ausflüchte. Stammen diese Einrisse in deinem Anus von erzwungener Penetration?\" Toka überlegte nicht lange und antwortete amüsiert: „Nein tut mir leid. Die stammen von dem Penis meines Freundes und dieser drang ganz und gar nicht erzwungen in mich ein.\" Der Dachs starrte natürlich den Fuchs etwas überrascht an, aber er erkannte dadurch zumindest nicht, dass das eine Lüge gewesen war. Die Einrisse stammten nämlich von Orendos Ranke, aber das sollte der Arzt natürlich nicht erfahren. Ohne ein weiteres Wort fuhr der Dachs mit seiner Untersuchung fort.\n\nNach etwa einer halben Stunde war alles erledigt und Toka hatte es überstanden. „Okay die Untersuchung ist beendet, bleib aber noch kurz liegen. Ich möchte noch etwas in deinen Po einreiben.\", erklärte der Arzt und erhob sich dabei von seinem Stuhl. Er holte eine längliche weiße Schachtel aus einer Schublade seines Schrankes und setzte sich damit wieder hinter Toka auf den Stuhl. Er nahm die große Tube aus der Schachtel, öffnete sie und gab etwas von der Salbe auf seine Hand.\n\nNachdem er den kleinen Haufen der Salbe auf seine beiden Handflächen verteilt hatte, rieb er sie vorsichtig auf Toka's Pobacken. Der junge Fuchs sah verwundert nach hinten, worauf der Dachs erklärte: „Die Salbe, die ich dir grade einmassiere, wird dir gut tun. Sie ist kühlend, schmerzlindert, antiseptisch und beschleunigt natürlich die Heilung. Ich gebe dir die ganze Tube mit. Du kannst sie dreimal täglich in deinen Po einmassieren, dann sollte er in etwa zwei Wochen wieder der Alte sein. Ich bitte dich aber in einer Woche zur Kontrolle bei mir vorbei zu schauen. Die Schwester vorn am Empfang gibt dir einen Termin.\" Toka spürte die Salbe wirken. Es kühlte sein brennendes Fleisch und linderte bereits deutlich den Schmerz. Er lächelte kurz und sprach: „Vielen Dank.\" „Bitte schön.\", erwiderte der Dachs ebenfalls lächelnd und ging zum Waschbecken.\n\nNachdem er seine Hände gründlich gereinigt und desinfiziert hatte, setzte er sich kurz an seinen Schreibtisch und schrieb einige Dinge auf ein Blatt. Toka zog sich gerade die Hose hoch, da sprach der Arzt: „Okay. Du hast eine Erkältung. Diese Rezepte hier löst du bitte ein und deponierst die Medikamente in eurer Hausapotheke. Die könnt ihr bei der nächsten Erkältung in eurer Familie aufbrauchen.\n\nDie Salbe gebe ich dir wie gesagt so mit. Dreimal täglich gründlich und ausgiebig in den Po einmassieren. Lass das am Besten von jemandem machen. Baden ist vorerst tabu und duschen nur mit lauwarmem Wasser. Keine eigenen Shampoos verwenden, die könnten deine wunde Haut unter dem Fell reizen und sehr unangenehm brennen. Ich gebe dir ein spezielles Shampoo mit. Das Hinsetzen ist auf weiteres auch verboten. Dein Po ist wirklich sehr empfindlich jetzt und braucht soviel Schonung wie möglich. Das gilt natürlich auch für den Analverkehr und alles andere was diese Körperregion betrifft und deinen Po damit belastet. Wenn du dich an alles hältst, ist er in spätestens zwei Wochen wieder fit. Wenn nicht, könnte es sich leicht auf drei bis vier Wochen verlängern.\"\n\n„Ich werde mich an alles halten, danke nochmal.\", erwiderte Toka daraufhin und nahm die Salbe, die Rezepte und das Shampoo entgegen. „Bitte schön. Gib diesen Brief hier bitte deinem Vater. Dort sind Anweisungen wegen der Krankenkasse drin und bitte verspreche mir, dass du auf dich aufpasst und mich um Hilfe bittest, wenn du sie brauchst. Ich bin gerne für dich da und sag deinem Vater bitte, dass er mit dir auf jeden Fall zu einem Psychiater gehen soll. Auch wenn du dich hier sehr cool und unbefangen präsentierst. Eine solche Misshandlung erzeugt mehr seelischen Schaden, als sie es körperlich je könnte.\", sagte der Dachs plötzlich und reichte dem Fuchs dabei einen Umschlag.\n\nToka nahm den Umschlag an und antwortete: „Ja versprochen. Wir sehn uns in einer Woche zur Kontrolle.\" Daraufhin öffnete der Arzt ihm nickend die Tür und Toka verließ das Behandlungszimmer. Nachdem er sich auch den Termin geholt hatte, begab sich der Fuchs zum Auto und stieg vorne ein. Vorsichtig setzte er sich hin, worauf sein Vater fragte: „Du darfst also sitzen? Ist alles okay? Was hat er gesagt?\"\n\nToka nickte und reichte seinem Vater den Brief. „Ja alles okay. Ich hab eine Erkältung. Die Rezepte hier sind für unsere Hausapotheke und das ganze Zeug hier ist für mich. In dem Brief steht angeblich irgendwas für die Krankenkasse.\", erklärte der junge Fuchs, worauf sein Vater neugierig den Umschlag öffnete, den Zettel heraus holte und dabei noch einen Überweisungsschein im Umschlag sah.\n\nVerwundert las sich der alte Fuchs den Zettel durch und fing kurz daraufhin an zu lachen. Als ihn sein Sohn erstaunt ansah, gab er ihm den Zettel und Toka traute seinen Augen nicht. Es stand dort nichts für die Krankenkasse. Es waren alle seine Verbote aufgelistet, ein paar Anweisungen dazu und die Empfehlung zum Psychiater zu gehen war auch drauf.\n\nZudem stand ganz unten mit einem zwinkernden Smiley dahinter: Sorry kleiner Fuchs, aber ich traue der Jungend von heute nicht, was das Weiterleiten von Verboten und Anweisungen an die Eltern angeht. ;-)\n\nToka sah erstaunt zu seinem Vater, worauf der nur grinsend auf die Rückbank deutete. Genervt stieg der junge Fuchs wieder aus und legte sich erneut auf die Rückbank. Daraufhin fuhren sie los und zuhause gönnte sich Toka erst einmal was zu essen.\n\n(c) Meister-Fuchs (Micki the Fox)" } ]

I thought that's all it was. But I'd be lying if I said that I didn't feel a little bit jealous of what my mom was doing. First, I believe an introduction is needed. I am Justin, I'm an 18 year old husky with what my friends call an impressive build, and I stand at around 6'4\". Oh, and I'm only 10 years younger than my mom, and I hate calling her mom, so I call her by her first name, Maddie.\n\nI suppose I should explain. At age 9, Maddie got herself pregnant, and age 10 she gave birth to me.\n\nMy brother Calvin, is a 14 year old husky, with a small build, and is about 5'8\". Calvin and I have never met our dad. From what Maddie tells us, his name is Marcus, and he gives us money so that we can have better lives. Neither Calvin, nor I have seen a penny of this money.\n\nI'm not even sure that Marcus is both of our fathers. Maddie sells her \"services\" on the street corner.\n\nSo let's see. Did I leave anything out? I'm 18, Maddie is a prostitute, and Calvin was born when I was 4. I don't think I left anything out. Oh! How it all began... I almost forgot to tell you that.\n\nIt was one winter, back when Calvin still called her \"mommy\".\n\nIt was too cold to go outside and work, but Maddie was still feeling heated. With nobody else to help her release, she went after Calvin. Calvin was only 8. They were both in the kitchen; I was watching them through the small crack between the hinges of the door. Calvin was standing in front of Maddie, who was sitting in a chair by the table. \"Calvin, pull down your pants.\"\n\n\"But I don't want to mommy.\"\n\n\"Calvin, just pull down your pants.\" Her voice barked.\n\nCalvin was always afraid of Maddie yelling at him. So he undid the button, but Maddie couldn't wait anymore, he was moving too slow. She swatted his hand aside, and pulled down the zipper herself.\n\n\"Mommy?\"\n\nShe stripped Calvin of his jeans, and pulled off his shirt. He stood there, his thin frame only in his tight briefs, very cold, and very scared. His tail slowly retreated between his legs as Maddie put her hand on his package, and slid her hand underneath where she fingered his balls.\n\nI watched and waited, oblivious to the low growl that was coming from deep in my chest, and sounding out through my gritted teeth. But there was nothing I could do, Maddie had locked the door. I could only watch, as my little brother was sexed by Maddie, and this wasn't the first time.\n\nCalvin never called her \"mommy\" again.\n\nI wasn't used to this feeling, was it me being protective over my little brother? But deep down, I had another feeling, jealousy. After that day, I had a dream that was very much the same, but instead of saying \"Mommy\", Calvin was whimpering my name as I pulled him towards me. This doesn't make me any better than Maddie. It is now six years later. I have finally realized what I felt those years ago. I still have trouble dealing with the fact that I am emotionally, biologically, and sexually attracted to my kid brother, but I know that I love him.\n\nMaddie is still selling herself, but now she has discovered alcohol. The liquid poison gets to her head, and shows her true feelings, her rage, her hatred, her, I don't know. It's just that, it makes her more aggressive, more abusive. I can't think of a time when she's not drunk. She walks out of her bedroom each day, with a half empty bottle already in her hand. The woman is messed up.\n\nTo avoid being abused, Calvin and I have taken up on many school activities to keep us out of the house, and away from that drunken bitch at home. I am in football, a weight training class, and baseball in the spring. Calvin on the other hand has decided to take up wrestling, marching band, swimming in the spring semester, and a few other activities that I don't even know about. Not to mention all the clubs he belongs to. The environmental club and the anime club being the only two I know about. On top of these activities, Calvin is also part of a band with a couple of friends. I know that in the band he is the lead singer, the lead guitarist, and occasionally the bassist if he needs to be. He's in more activities than me, because he hates going home more than I do. After all, he has more reason to be scared.\n\nIt's horrible, going to a home where there is no hope. It's like a twisted demented version of Cinderella. We work for Maddie, do the chores and meaningless tasks for her, and if we do it wrong, if one detail is forgotten, we're beaten. But most of the time, we are just beaten for no reason.\n\nBecause he's smaller than Maddie, Calvin is abused more than me. I'm not saying that I'm not abused at all, it's just that, I can defend myself for the most part... Maddie has a tendency to use things laying around the house when she abuses me. Everything from old pipes in the garage, to the empty beers bottles under her bed. Luckily, she has never used anything around the house to abuse Calvin, or, I should say, we are lucky that she has not done it yet.\n\nMost of my friends don't know about what goes on in my home. This is why nobody ever comes over to hang out. Most of my friends think I'm just being studious or something. It's probably best that way." } ]

Amanda looked up and she saw a large object hovering on top of her. Suddenly, a bright bluish light came out from the bottom of the object and shone down on her. The next thing she knew, the light and the object in the sky above her disappeared in a blink of an eye. She was once again all alone on the deserted road. Amanda looked at her wristwatch, it was 11 o'clock. Amanda gasped when she realized that two hours have passed without her knowing.\n\nWhen Amanda got home, she felt disoriented and decided to freshen herself up with a warm shower. Amanda immediately went to the bathroom and began to undress. As Amanda stripped off her clothes, she saw her panties were stained with a brownish patch. Amanda also found a sticky gelatinous substance covering her vagina. Alarmed and puzzled by how the substance got there, Amanda quickly washed it off.\n\nThat night, Amanda had a strange dream. Amanda dreamed that she was alone inside a large room with white walls. The air around her was freezing cold and Amanda soon realized that she wasn't wearing any clothes. Looking down, Amanda could see that she was floating about two inches above the floor.\n\nFloating in front of Amanda was a five-foot-high, three-foot-wide, chrome-colored block. There was nothing else to see in the room but the floating block.\n\nSuddenly, Amanda started to move forward towards the block in front of her. Amanda was turned around so that her back was facing the block. Amanda's body shivered as the skin on her back touched the icy cold surface of the block. The moment her body touched the block, the block dipped down slightly, then tilted up and it scooped Amanda onto it.\n\nAs Amanda lay supine on the block, a white-colored material appeared on top of her, floated down and covered her like a sheet from her chest to her thighs. And then, bit by bit, the material began to mold itself to Amanda's body. She had no idea what the material was but it seemed almost to be alive as it continued constricting about her form.\n\nAt that moment, four strange beings appeared inside the room and gathered around the block. Amanda became terrified when she saw the strange beings as they looked down at her. The beings had large, bulbous heads, black eyes with no pupils, gray skin and a skinny body. Amanda tried to get away but she found herself unable to move her body. The only thing she could move was her eyes and her head. One of the beings took..... injected into her.\n\nTwo of the beings went over to the end of the block where Amanda's legs were and began to spread them open, bending them at the knees. As two of the beings held her legs open, another being went between her legs. Amanda lifted her head to take a look but she couldn't see what the being was doing because the white material was blocking her view. However, Amanda could feel the being smearing a gelatinous substance over her vagina. Amanda then felt the being spread her vaginal lips open with its fingers and inserted something cold and metallic into her vagina. Amanda shivered when the instrument entered her vagina. As soon as the tip of the object touches her cervix, the instrument stopped and it began to open, dilating her vagina.\n\nSuddenly, the four beings looked up and Amanda saw a hole appeared on the ceiling above her and a chrome-colored orb that was about the size of a basketball came out of the hole. The orb descended towards Amanda and hovered above her head. Amanda could see her reflection on the orb as it hovered above her face. The orb then slowly floated over to her neck to her abdomen and finally stopped between her spread legs. Suddenly, a small hole appeared on the orb and a long, thin, hollow rod slowly came out of the hole. The thin rod continues to extend towards her vagina and Amanda struggled helplessly as it made contact with the instrument that was sticking out of her vagina. The tip of the rod entered her vagina through the instrument that held her vagina open and Amanda could feel the rod as it went deeper and deeper, pushing past her cervix and into her womb and stopped. A few seconds later, the orb began to glow with a blue light and Amanda felt fluid entering her womb as it spurted out of the rod.\n\nAmanda woke up abruptly, panting and sweating. She looked around and felt relieved when she realized she was in her bedroom.\n\n\"A dream?\" said Amanda to herself.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\nThree months later....\n\nAmanda nervously looked at the result of the home pregnancy test kit. She gasped loudly in shock when she saw the result. She was pregnant. Home pregnancy test accuracy is not 100 % and Amanda's first thought was denial but she soon accepted it. During the last two months, Amanda had showed signs of pregnancy; her menses were absent for the last two months and she had been putting on weight.\n\nAmanda still finds it impossible because she had always used contraceptives and always insisted that her boyfriend, Jim, wear condoms whenever they had sex. But like the home pregnancy test, using contraceptives doesn't guarantee that it will prevent pregnancy. Amanda faced a dilemma. She was still single and only working a part-time job as a waitress in a diner. Her first thought was to terminate the pregnancy. However, the moment she thought about having an abortion, a strong inner maternal instinct came to life instantly making her wanted to protect her baby at all costs. In the end, Amanda decided to continue with the pregnancy.....\n\nCHAPTER ONE\n\nSeveral years later.....\n\n7-year-old Alicia Kerner was playing in the field behind her grandmother's house when she saw a woman came out of the forest. The woman had blonde hair, blue eyes and wore a white robe. The woman stared at Alicia for a moment. She then raised her hand and beckoned for Alicia to come over to her. For a moment, Alicia hesitated; her mother had always told her not to talk or follow strangers. But when Alicia stared at the woman's hypnotic blue eyes, she became mesmerized and immediately trusted the woman even though she was a stranger. Alicia stood up and began walking towards the woman. However, before Alicia could get any closer to the woman, the woman turned around and walked back into the forest. Alicia was somehow compelled to follow the woman. She followed the woman into the forest as the woman went deeper and deeper into the forest. Alicia followed the woman until they arrived at a clearing in the forest. The woman stood still at the center of the clearing while Alicia slowly walked towards her. Suddenly, Alicia heard a soft humming sound above her. Alicia looked up and gasped at what she saw. Hovering above them was a large object that looks like a spacecraft. The spacecraft was oval-shaped and was silver in color.\n\n\"What is that?\" Alicia asked the woman that was standing in front of her.\n\nSuddenly, as Alicia watched, the woman's appearance blurred and she slowly morphed into a tall, horrible creature. The creature had a large, bald, bulbous head and gray skin. Its eyes were completely black and shaped like almond seeds. It had slits for nostrils and mouth.\n\nAlicia was about to turn around and flee from the gray-skinned creature that was standing in front of her when suddenly, a blue light came out of the spacecraft that was above them and shone down at them. Alicia suddenly became paralyzed and unable to move her body but she was able to move her eyes and head a little. The gray creature in front of Alicia went over to her and Alicia could see that the creature was much taller than her. The gray creature reached out and took her hand. Alicia felt the ground disappeared underneath her feet and soon realizes that she was floating in the air, heading towards the object above her. With a blink of an eye, Alicia found herself in a strange place which she soon realized that she was inside the object and the gray creature was still holding onto her hand. The place was a large, cylinder-shaped room and the floors and walls were made out of a shiny, smooth metallic material.\n\n\"Where are we?\" Alicia asked and she realized that she could still speak despite being unable to move her body.\n\nThe gray creature ignored her question and moved forward, pulling Alicia along with it. Alicia could see that she and the gray creature were floating about 2 inches off the floor. Alicia examined her surroundings as she and the gray creature entered a corridor. As Alicia and the gray creature floated down the corridor, she was surprised by how clean the place was; everything was shining and smooth as if they were polished regularly. Alicia and the gray creature moved down the corridor until they arrived at a room.\n\nInside the room were four more gray creatures. Alicia noticed that these gray creatures were shorter than the one that was holding her hand. Also inside the room was a metallic table with another smaller table beside it which had several strange-looking instruments arranged on top of it.\n\nThe Tall Gray pulled Alicia into the room and upon entering it; the four Small Grays went over to her and proceeded to remove her clothes. Two of them removed her shirt and headband while another two pulled off her skirt and shoes. Unable to move, Alicia couldn't resist them as they undress her.\n\n\"No, please don't,\" Alicia pleaded as the Small Grays continue to undress her, removing her undergarments.\n\nNaked, Alicia was floated about 1 meter into the air and her body was rotated from vertical to horizontal. Alicia was then floated over to the table and was slowly lowered onto it. Alicia shivered when her back touched the cold, metallic surface of the table.\n\nAs she lay down on the table, the four Small Grays gathered around the table that Alicia lay on and began to perform a physical examination on her. The physical examinations reminded Alicia of the same physical examinations that were previously performed on her by a doctor.\n\nThe Small Grays started the examinations on her head. One of the Small Grays placed its hands on Alicia's temples and carefully rolls her head from side to side. Next, they examined her ears and eyes. Taking some instruments from the small table, one Small Gray examined Alicia's ears with an instrument that resembled an otoscope while another Small Gray examined her eyes with a light-emitting device similar to an ophthalmoscope. A Small Gray opened Alicia's mouth and used a light-emitting instrument to look inside. They took samples of her hair, pulling several strands of Alicia's blonde hair painfully out of her scalp. During the examination, the Tall Gray stood and watched while the Small Grays worked on Alicia.\n\nAfter the head examination was completed, the Small Grays lifted Alicia up into a sitting position on the table. The Small Grays had to hold on onto Alicia so that she doesn't fall to one side because she is still paralyzed and her muscle tone is nonexistent. Once she is in this position, the Small Grays began to examine her back and vertebrae. They touched and pressed on each individual vertebra from the neck to her coccyx. After they have examined Alicia's vertebrae and back, the Small Grays put her back into a lying position on the table and began to examine her abdomen. They palpated her stomach area and examined her ribs. They then touched and palpated her underdeveloped breasts. Alicia winced as she felt a powerful and painful squeezing around her nipples.\n\n\"Please stop\", Alicia begged. \"You're hurting me\".\n\nWe must do this, said a voice in her head. It is important that we do this.\n\nBefore Alicia could say anything else, the squeezing sensations on her nipples stopped and the Small Grays now concentrated on her legs. They carefully observe and touched the soles of Alicia's feet. They touched her ankles and twist her foot from side to side. The Small Grays then examined Alicia's knees, bending her leg a few times as if they are observing the action of the joints.\n\nWhile they were palpating her thighs, one of the Small Grays used an instrument to make a small, almost painless incision on Alicia's right calf. While the incision was being made, no blood came out of the wound. A scar formed almost instantly at the site. Alicia was aware of what the Small Gray was doing to her.\n\n\"What are you doing?\" Alicia asked worriedly.\n\nWe are marking you, said the voice in her head. For future observations.\n\n\"What do you mean by that?\" Alicia demanded, realizing the voice was coming from the Small Gray.\n\nThe Small Gray did not answer her. Instead, they began to spread her legs open, bending them at the knees. Two Small Grays held Alicia's legs open while another Small Gray reached under the table which she lay on and pulled out a lamp with a flexible neck. Alicia tried to resist but she couldn't move a muscle. The Small Gray positioned the lamp between Alicia's legs and the lamp was switched on. A bright light shone from the lamp onto Alicia's hairless, prepubescent vagina.\n\nThe Small Gray then began examining her vagina. Using two of its long fingers, the Gray spread open her labia and examined the internal structures of Alicia's vagina with its finger. The Gray rubbed the walls of her vaginal tract but her hymen stopped him from going further into her. The examination of her vagina frightened Alicia but she somehow found the whole procedure pleasurable and she hated herself for feeling that way.\n\n\"You shouldn't do that,\" Alicia said, her face blushing.\n\nDon't be afraid, said the voice in Alicia's head. It will be over soon.\n\nThe Small Gray pulled out its fingers from Alicia's vagina and took a long instrument that has a bright light emitted on its tip and pointed it between Alicia's legs. Alicia jerked when the instrument went into her. Alicia felt something tear and gave way and pain surged in her vagina. The pain was so intense that she couldn't even scream. The instrument continued to make its way through her vaginal tract as the pain slowly subsided.\n\n\"I hate you!\" Alicia shouted. \"Once I get home, I'll tell my mom.\"\n\nYou will not remember this, said the voice in her head calmly.\n\n\"I will remember!\" Alicia shouted.\n\nNo, you won't, said the voice.\n\nBefore Alicia could say anything else, the instrument was removed and her legs were put back together. Alicia was then moved into a prone position on the table. Alicia felt hands pressing on the cheeks of her buttocks, separating them to reveal her anus. Alicia jerked and gasped when she felt an instrument, which she couldn't see what it was, being inserted into her anus. Alicia was forced to endure the humiliating procedure as the instrument continued probing her rectum. Awhile later, the instrument was then removed and Alicia was put back into a supine position on the table.\n\nAt that moment, the Tall Gray went over to the table where Alicia's head was. It bent down slightly so that it was staring at Alicia's face and placed its cold hands on her shoulders. Alicia wanted to turn her head to look away from those huge, ugly, black eyes but she couldn't. Alicia could do nothing else except to continue staring directly into the Tall Gray's eyes. Alicia soon became overwhelmed by the Tall Gray's eyes and she felt herself being consumed by them.\n\nSuddenly, Alicia had flashes of old, childhood memories. Alicia realized that the Tall Gray has entered her mind like a metal probe and began sifting through her memories. Angered by the intrusion, Alicia tried desperately to fight the Tall Gray and evict it from her mind.\n\n\"Get out of my head!\" Alicia demanded as the Tall Gray continued to probe her mind.\n\nPlease do not fight me, said the voice in her head calmly.\n\n\"I don't want you in here,\" said Alicia. \"Get out!\"\n\nThe Tall Gray did not answer her and continued with its task. Alicia felt completely powerless as the Tall Being continued to extract information from her. Finally, after about five minutes of mental probing, the Tall Gray withdrew from Alicia's mind but it continues to stare into Alicia's eyes. As the Tall Gray continued to stare into Alicia's eyes, Alicia suddenly felt a rush of pleasurable emotions and feelings in her body.\n\nAt first, Alicia tried to resist those feelings but her will was no match for the Tall Gray's mental power. No matter how much she tried, the pleasurable feelings only got stronger and stronger. Unable to resist anymore, Alicia surrendered to the Tall Gray and allowed the strong, pleasurable feelings consume her. The feelings spread to every part of her body. Alicia felt all her fear and anger towards the Tall Gray vanished and were replaced by sudden love and devotion to the Tall Gray. The feelings slowly changed Alicia's perception of the Tall Gray. Alicia began to feel that the Tall Gray was not an enemy but a friend and she wishes to cooperate and allow him to do anything he wants to her.\n\nThe feelings soon began to turn erotic which is something that Alicia had never experienced before. Being only 7 years old, Alicia never knew what sexual pleasure is and Alicia initially tried to resist the feelings. But the intense sexual pleasure and the uncontrollable demand of her body finally forced Alicia to embrace the feelings.\n\nA soft gasp came out of Alicia's mouth as she experienced her first prepubescent orgasm. Her body trembled and she began breathing rapidly as her orgasm spreads all over her body. Normally, an orgasm would only last about less than a minute but this one lasted more than that. Unknown to Alicia, the Tall Gray is controlling the duration of her orgasm to let her experience a long, uninterrupted orgasm that no human could experience naturally. Alicia's orgasm finally ceased after about three minutes. As Alicia lay down on the table basking in the warm, post-orgasmic afterglow of her orgasm, she heard the voice in her head saying, Feels good doesn't it?\n\nAlicia responded by nodding her head weakly. A few minutes later, Alicia began to float off the table and she was placed on the floor on her feet. Suddenly, Alicia was able to move her body again and the Tall Gray handed her a folded piece of cloth which she unfolded to reveal a white gown. Alicia immediately put on the gown to cover her nudity. She was then led out of the room by the Tall Gray and into the corridor. The Tall Gray stopped at a wall and with a wave of its hand; an opening appeared on the wall. The Tall Gray gestured for Alicia to enter first. She entered a large room that was about the size of a classroom. Inside this room, there was another Tall Gray and a group of about ten to twelve children that were either younger or older than Alicia. All the children wore the same white gown that she was wearing.\n\nThe Tall Gray that was inside the room gestured for Alicia and the other children to stand in a circle around it. Once the children had gathered into a circle around the Tall Gray, the Tall Gray then held out a metallic orb which was about the size of a basketball. The Tall Gray went over to one boy and handed the orb to him. Alicia saw the Tall Gray giving silent instructions to the boy and then stepped back, watching the boy closely. Matt watched and waited as the boy stared at the orb he was holding. A few seconds later, the orb began to levitate and it floated upwards from the boy's hand. However, after about five seconds later, the orb dropped onto the floor with a dull thud. The Tall Gray bent down and picked up the orb from the floor. It then went over to the girl was standing beside the boy.\n\nEach of the children was given a chance to try to levitate the orb. Some could make it float and keep it in the air for a few seconds while others can do it only for a few minutes. There are also those that couldn't make the orb levitate at all. Soon, it was Alicia's turn.\n\nConcentrate your thoughts on the orb and it will follow your commands, said a female voice inside Alicia's head.\n\nAlicia concentrated on the orb and it immediately floated upwards. Unlike the other children, Alicia could somehow move the orb while it was floating in the air and she made it do complex moves which the other children couldn't do. The other children stared at Alicia enviously and some showed signs of resentment as she made the orb do more dazzling maneuvers in the air. After awhile, the Tall Gray reached out and took the orb from the air.\n\nYou have done well, said the same female voice in Alicia's head. But the others are feeling envious of your abilities so we must stop.\n\nAfter all the children were tested with the orb, several Small Grays entered the room. The Small Grays took Alicia out of the room and back into the corridor. Alicia was taken into a room that has a large table in the centre of the room. The two Small Grays that escorted Alicia removed her gown and helped her to get onto the large table. For a few minutes, Alicia lay down on the cold, metallic table and then a Tall Gray entered the room. The Tall Gray went over to the table that Alicia lay on and stared into her eyes.\n\nNow we are going to give you something, said the voice, which Alicia now knew belongs to the Tall Gray, as a Small Gray handed a large, circular glass container to the Tall Gray.\n\nAlicia could see that inside the container are several tiny chrome-colored balls that were about the size of a BB pellet.\n\nThis are for you, said the Tall Gray as it handed the container back to the Small Gray while another Small Gray handed a long, thin metallic needle-like probe that resembled needles that were used for knitting to the Tall Gray. The Tall Gray took and pointed the probe at Alicia's face and Alicia could see that one of the tiny balls was attached to the end of the probe.\n\nThis will hurt a little, said the Tall Gray. Just relax and be still.\n\nThe Tall Gray placed one hand on Alicia's forehead and she began to feel relaxed. The Tall Gray then removed its hand from her forehead and inserted the probe into Alicia's left nostril and continued to push into her nasal cavity. Alicia could hear the faint sound of bone cracking as the probe broke through her nasal cavity and entered what Alicia felt was her brain. Alicia felt extreme pain but the Tall Gray placed its hand on Alicia's forehead again and the pain mysteriously disappeared. The probe was then removed and Alicia could see blood on the tip of the probe and the tiny ball was gone.\n\nAlicia was then turned around so that she was lying face down on the table. Alicia could feel the probe as it pierced through her skin, her thoracic vertebrae and all the way into her spinal cord. Alicia felt a sharp, stabbing pain as the probe went in. The probe was then removed and Alicia felt it as it was used to pierce through her lumbar vertebrae. After the probe was removed from Alicia's lumbar vertebrae, Alicia was positioned back into a supine position on the table. The Tall Gray handed the probe back to the Small Gray and took another probe that has a sharp end and a long hose connected to it. Alicia felt the Tall Gray's ice-cold hand on her stomach and she lifted her head to see the Tall Gray pointing the probe at her navel.\n\n\"No, please don't,\" Alicia pleaded.\n\nDon't worry, said the Tall Gray. It won't hurt.\n\nBefore Alicia could say anything else, the Tall Gray inserted the probe's sharp end into her navel. Alicia felt pain as the probe went through her navel and straight into her abdominal cavity. Like before, the Tall Gray placed its hand on Alicia's forehead and the pain subsided. Alicia felt air was being pumped into her abdomen and her abdomen began to expand like a balloon. With one hand holding the probe in place, the Tall Gray took the same probe with one of the tiny balls on its end and inserted it into her abdomen, just above her navel. Alicia felt the probe as it painlessly entered through her abdomen and headed straight for her groin area, towards one of her ovaries. The probe was then removed and the ball on its end was gone.\n\nThis will monitor your sexual organs and will inform us when you are able to procreate, said the Tall Gray.\n\nAlicia felt her stomach began to deflate and the Tall Gray removed the instrument from her navel. The Tall Gray handed the instrument back to the Small Gray and it went over to where Alicia's head was. It bent over and stared directly into Alicia's eyes. Suddenly, Alicia began to feel sleepy. Not able to stay awake any longer, Alicia closed her eyes and fell asleep.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\nWhen Alicia opened her eyes, she found herself back at the field behind her grandmother's house, fully dressed in her clothes. When she looked down at her legs, she saw a scar on her right calf that she knew was never there before. She tried to recall what had happened earlier that gave her that scar but her memory was blank and she couldn't remember anything.\n\nCHAPTER TWO\n\nSeven years later, Alicia is now fourteen years old and is sleeping inside her bedroom with her younger sister, Karla. Karla was three years younger than Alicia and she was the daughter of her mother and her husband, Bob. Alicia knows that her real father must have been her mother's ex-boyfriend, Jim, whom she met before Bob.\n\nSuddenly, Alicia was woken up by a bright blue light that was shining from outside her bedroom window. Alicia wanted to get out of bed to see what the light was outside but found out that she couldn't move. With a blink of an eye, several strange creatures appeared inside the bedroom. The creatures were identical to each other. They had large, bald, bulbous heads and gray skin. Their large eyes were black and shaped like almond seeds. They had slits for nostrils and mouths. Alicia was absolutely terrified of the gray creature but at the same time felt some familiarity as if she had met the creatures somewhere before. Alicia opened her mouth to scream for help as two of the gray creatures went over and gathered around Alicia's bed but nothing came out of her mouth.\n\nAlicia managed to turn her head to see three gray creatures gathered around Alicia's sleeping sister, Karla. Suddenly, Karla began to levitate from her bed and the gray creatures around her levitated with her. They floated towards the light that was coming from the bedroom window and went through the windows like ghosts.\n\nAlicia felt her body moving and realized that she too started to float in the air with the two gray creatures floating around her. Alicia and the two gray creatures floated towards the bedroom windows and they went through them as if the windows weren't there. Once outside of the house, she saw where the blue light was coming from. It was coming from a large object that was hovering in the night sky. The object resembled a spacecraft and Alicia and the two gray creatures were now floating towards it. Alicia suddenly felt a soothing vibration around her body. The soothing vibrations made Alicia feel sleepy but Alicia fought the urge to fall asleep. A short while later, Alicia gave up and fell asleep.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\nWhen Alicia regained consciousness, she found herself inside a room, lying down on something hard and metallic. Alicia slowly got up into sitting position on the table and began to look around. The room had metallic walls that were shining and smooth as if they had been polished. Alicia also realized that her pajamas were gone and she was wearing a white, semi-transparent gown. Alicia got off the table that she was lying on. She shivered when her bare feet touched the icy-cold floor. She slowly walked out of the room through a doorway and into a corridor. She then slowly walked down the corridor until she came to a room that had strange symbols carved on the doorway. Alicia carefully peeked to see what was inside the room.\n\nInside the room, there were three gray creatures, two Small Grays and one Tall Gray, gathered around a table. On the table was a teenage girl and when Alicia saw her face, she realized that it was Karla. Karla was naked and she was restrained on the table by plastic-like straps that were tied around her wrists and belly. Her legs were spread wide open and placed into stirrups that were almost similar to the ones that gynecologists use to examine women. Beside the table which Karla lay on was another smaller table that had various instruments on it. Alicia watched as the Grays around Karla began to do examinations on her sister.\n\nOne of the Small Grays used a long, thin, metallic rod that has a tiny ball on its end and inserted it into Karla's right nostril. The Small Gray pushed the probe deeper and deeper and Alicia could see Karla squeezed her eyes shut in pain. The probe was then removed and Alicia saw the ball at the end of the probe was missing. Meanwhile, the Tall Gray went over to where Karla's head was and bent over to stare into her eyes as a Small Gray took an instrument that resembled a vaginal speculum and went between Karla's legs. The Small Gray used its long fingers to spread open Karla's labia and proceeded to insert the speculum into Karla's vagina. Karla's body jerked when the speculum entered her but she did not stop staring into the Tall Gray's eyes.\n\nSuddenly, Karla squeezed her hand into a fist and she opened her mouth as if she was howling in pain but no sound came out. Alicia was about to go over to her sister's aid when she suddenly felt a cold hand touched her on the shoulder. She turned around and saw a Tall Gray standing behind her, its black almond-shaped eyes staring straight into Alicia's. The moment Alicia and the Tall Gray lock eyes with each other, Alicia suddenly became paralyzed again. Alicia then began to float about two inches off the floor. The Tall Gray followed Alicia as she was floated into the room where Karla was. The Grays that were working on Karla stopped whatever they were doing the moment Alicia was floated into the room. Alicia was floated over to a bench that was inside the room and was made to sit on it. Unable to move, Alicia was forced to watch helplessly as the Grays continue to probe the inside of Karla's vagina.\n\n\"Let her go!\" Alicia demanded.\n\nThe Grays ignored her and continued with whatever they were doing to her. A few minutes later, Karla was freed from her restraints and she floated off examination table. Karla was then floated over to the bench where Alicia was sitting and she sat down beside her.\n\nIt is your turn, said a voice in Alicia's head.\n\nAlicia's body suddenly stood up from the bench and two Small Grays went over and took off Alicia's gown, leaving her naked. She was floated over to the now vacant examination table. Alicia stared at the table as she floated towards it. Fear gripped her when she saw the stirrups that were waiting for her legs to be placed and secured in them by the plastic straps. Alicia's body was tilted into a horizontal position and was floated above the table. Alicia slowly descended onto the table and she shivered when her back touched the cold metallic surface of the table. As the Tall and Small Grays gathered around the table, Alicia knew that they were going to do exactly what they did to Karla to her. Alicia managed to turn her head to see Karla sitting on the bench staring at her as the Grays begin their examination.\n\nAlicia was given a physical examination which they started with her head, examining her eyes, ears, mouth and nose. They then examined her breasts, palpating and squeezing them, and were followed by her ribs, abdomen, thighs, legs and feet. They then sat her up on the table and examined her back and vertebrae. Alicia was then laid on her belly and the Grays used an instrument, which Alicia couldn't see, to examine her rectum. Alicia protested when they were doing the rectal examination but her protests were ignored. The rectal examination was humiliating but Alicia could not do anything to stop it. After the rectal examination was completed, Alicia was laid on her back once more. One of the Tall Grays went over to where Alicia's head was and bent over to stare into Alicia's eyes. As they locked eyes with each other, Alicia felt a mental probe entered her mind and began to sift through her memories. After sifting through her memories, the Tall Gray took a long, thin probe with a sharp tip and inserted it into Alicia's left nostril. The probe was then withdrawn from her nose and she saw a tiny ball at the tip of the probe. The Tall Gray took another similar probe that also had a tiny ball on its end and inserted it into Alicia's right nostril. The probe was then taken out and Alicia saw that the tiny ball at the tip of the probe had disappeared. After that, the Small Grays began to tie her wrists and belly down onto the table with the same plastic straps which they had previously used on Karla. They then spread Alicia's legs apart, bending them at the knees, and placed them in the stirrups. Her legs were then secured to the stirrups with similar plastic straps.\n\nA Tall Gray that was at Alicia's head bent over and its black eyes stared directly into Alicia's eyes again. Alicia suddenly felt emotions erupted within her that made her became sexually aroused. At first she tried extremely hard to suppress the emotions but she couldn't stop her body from responding. Her breathing became short and rapid while her vagina moistened and her nipples harden as the emotions continued unabated. Alicia felt long slender fingers touched her between her legs and spread her labia. Alicia jerked when she felt something cold and metallic entered her vagina and continued forward. She instinctively wanted to look down between her legs but she found herself unable to take her eyes off the Tall Gray's. The emotions continue to rage in Alicia and she finally stopped trying to fight it. Less than a minute later, Alicia's body shivered as her orgasm hits her. Less than a minute later, Alicia's orgasm finally ceased and the Tall Gray took its eyes away from Alicia's.\n\nAs she basked in the warm post-orgasmic afterglow, she felt something long and flexible penetrated her cervix and went all the way to her left ovary. She felt a cramping sensation. The instrument was then withdrawn from Alicia and she lifted her head to see a long, thin, transparent rod was slowly pulled out of her vagina. The Tall Gray that was holding the rod pointed its end into a small, glass container that a Small Gray was holding. Alicia could see some liquid with several tiny balls being aspirated out of the rod and into the container. From what she had learned from school, she knew those tiny balls were her ova. Alicia felt outrage that the Grays were taking something from her without permission.\n\n\"You have no right to do this!\" Alicia said angrily.\n\nIt is our right, said the voice in her head.\n\n\"What do you mean it is your right?!\" Alicia demanded. \"You have absolutely no right to take my ova.\"\n\nYes, we can do this and you will let us do this, said the voice and the conversation ended.\n\nThe Small Gray then left the room with the container. Meanwhile, the Tall Gray stared into Alicia's eyes again and this time she became sleepy. Alicia tried to fight the urge to sleep but she was soon overwhelmed by the feeling and slowly fell asleep. Just before Alicia succumbed to unconsciousness, she heard soft whisper:\n\nSoon it will be time...\n\nWhen Alicia woke up, she was back in her bedroom lying on her bed. Like before she had no memory of what had happened to her. However, when Alicia undressed to have a shower, she realized her panties had disappeared. This puzzled Alicia because she doesn't remember taking off her panties last night. What was most troubling was that Alicia also found some yellowish discharge oozing out of her vagina.\n\nCHAPTER THREE\n\nThree years later...\n\nAlicia was inside the bedroom with her boyfriend, Matt. After making sure that the door was locked and the curtains closed, Alicia began to undress in front of Matt as he sat on her bed. She removed her shirt and jeans and then her bra and finally her panties. Albert then got up and began to undress too. Alicia lay down on the bed and watched as her boyfriend undress in front of her. After taking off his clothes, Matt got into bed with Alicia and they embraced each other. Matt begins by stroking Alicia's breasts to stimulate her and Alicia's body responded immediately; she felt her nipples contract and wetness between her legs. Matt then proceeded to kiss her on the neck and slowly moved up to kiss her lips. As they kissed each other on the lips, Matt's erected penis found its way into Alicia's vagina and it slipped easily into her moistened vagina. This puzzled Alicia briefly because there was no pain during the penetration. Alicia was certain this was the first time she was making love but she quickly ignored it as Matt began thrusting in and out of her. Matt's penis rubbing of her vagina walls sent ripples of pleasure all over her.\n\nAs she and Matt were locked together in the haze of pleasure, Alicia heard a soft humming sound coming from outside the bedroom. At first she assumed it was just a passing vehicle but then suddenly a blue light shone through the bedroom window. At that moment, Matt stopped thrusting into Alicia and lay limp on top of Alicia.\n\n\"I can't move,\" Matt said.\n\nAlicia also found out she was unable to move as well. The only thing she could move was her eyes and head. Suddenly, as Alicia turned her head to look at her left, several strange gray creatures appeared inside the room.\n\nIt is time, said a soft voice inside Alicia's head.\n\nThere was a flash of light and Alicia and Matt found themselves standing naked in a strange place with the gray creatures around them. Alicia noticed that the gray creatures were floating in the air about two inches off the floor. When Alicia looked down she saw that she too was floating in the air. Two of the gray creatures went over to Alicia and Matt. Alicia wanted to turn and run but her legs were unresponsive. One of the gray creatures reached out and took Matt's hands while the other took Alicia's. Alicia and Matt were taken into separate rooms by the gray creatures. Alicia was taken into a large, cylinder-shaped room and had a round, metallic table in the center.\n\n\"What are we doing here?\" Alicia asked, absolutely terrified by what was happening to her.\n\nSuddenly, a teenage boy appeared at the doorway of the room. The boy had blonde hair and larger-than-normal blue eyes. Like Alicia, the boy was naked. When Alicia stared into the boy's blue eyes, she felt peace washes over her and all fear disappeared. As she and the boy locked eyes with each other, Alicia immediately felt a sudden love for him which she couldn't explain and she felt that everything was alright now and that she is safe from harm. Under the spell of the boy's enchanting eyes, Alicia began to walk forward, ignoring the icy-cold metallic floor that she was walking on, towards the boy. Alicia and the boy stared at each other for awhile and then the boy reached out and touched Alicia on the breast with the palm of his hand without taking his eyes of Alicia's. Alicia instantly felt herself become sexually excited as the boy stroked her breast and gently squeezed them repeatedly. Unable to control her desires, she opened her arms and embraced the boy. She kissed his face and neck with uninhibited delight and the boy responded by kissing her on the forehead, cheeks and finally her lips. Together, Alicia and the boy went over to the table that was inside the room and they climbed onto it. Once on the table, Alicia and the boy lay down, the boy on top of Alicia, and embraced each other again and they began to make love to each other. Alicia gasped as she felt the boy inserted his penis into her and began to thrust in and out of her repeatedly.\n\nAt the corner of Alicia's eye, she could see the gray creature staring at them as she and the by make love but she didn't care. Less than a minute later, Alicia let out a loud moan as her orgasm took her, she felt hot liquid spurted out of the boy's penis as her body shivered uncontrollably. When her orgasm finally ceased, Alicia lay down panting while the boy withdrew from her. As she stared into the boy's eyes one more time, Alicia felt a wave of sleepiness and her vision melted to black.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\nMeanwhile, Matt was inside another room, lying on a table with three Small Grays and a Tall Gray around him. After performing a physical examination on him, the Tall Gray took an instrument that resembled a test tube with a long hose connected to it. The Tall Gray used its long fingers to lift Matt's penis, holding it upright and then placed the tube over it. For a few seconds, there was nothing, just the sensation of his penis being encased by the tube. Suddenly, Matt felt some kind of rubbing sensation around his penis which slowly built up in intensity. The rubbing sensation soon became a pleasurable sensation and Matt recognized it as the same feeling that he felt whenever he masturbated. For a while, he tried extremely hard to suppress the erotic feelings that were building up in his body. Unable to suppress the pleasure any longer, he finally let it go. His seed spurted out of him, sending shockwaves of the intense pleasure of orgasm throughout his body as he ejaculated his semen into the tube. There was some suction and the white liquid was sucked into the hose that was connected to the tube.\n\nThe tube was then removed and Matt's penis fell limply between his legs. Matt was exhausted and he felt hot and sweaty as he basked in the post-orgasmic afterglow on the table. Suddenly, Matt felt himself floating off the table and he was put into a standing position on the floor. Matt was then floated out of the room, escorted by a Tall Gray, and was taken into another room. Inside this room was a young girl that was slightly younger than Matt. Like Matt, she was naked and Matt found her attractive. When Matt stared into the girl's blue eyes, he suddenly felt sexually aroused. The girl continued to lock eyes with Matt as she went over to him. Unable to resist her, Matt embraced the girl tightly and sealed her lips with a kiss. Matt doesn't know how long they were locked together but when they were finally separated from the kiss, Matt and the girl went over to the table that was inside the room....\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\nWhen Alicia opened her eyes she found herself sitting in what appears to be a chair. Except her head and eyes, she was still unable to move. Suddenly, an image appeared in front of her like a television screen. The image shows what appears to be a war taking place in a country which she doesn't know. She saw buildings being bombed and people getting shot and killed. The image then faded and was replaced by an image showing natural disasters occurring. She saw cities being torn apart by earthquakes, tornadoes, floods and other natural disasters.\n\nYour species are on the brink of extinction, said a voice in Alicia's head.\n\nAlicia looked around but she saw no one was around her.\n\n\"What do you mean by that?\" Alicia asked.\n\nYou have seen it for yourself, said the voice. Despite your advance technology, your species are still vulnerable to your planet's natural disasters. Your species are also killing themselves with wars and genocide.\n\n\"But what does that got to do with me?\" Alicia asked. \"I can't do anything about these things.\"\n\nYou can't, said the voice. But your child will.\n\n\"What?!\" Alicia said, shocked.\n\nYou are impregnated with a special child that will grow to lead the way for your species to prevent their extinction, said the voice.\n\nAlicia remembered the lovemaking she had with the boy.\n\n\"Why me?\" Alicia asked.\n\nYou were created by us specifically to become the vessel to carry this special child, said the voice. Just like how your mother was chosen before you to carry you.\n\n\"No! I don't want this!\" Alicia protested. \"I'll abort this baby that I'm carrying!\"\n\nYou won't remember this, said the voice calmly.\n\n\"I will remember this and I will have an abortion,\" Alicia insisted.\n\nYou will not remember it, the voice assured. We have done this many times before.\n\nSuddenly, Alicia had a flashback of forgotten memories. She remembered the time when they first took her at the age of 7 and then at the age of 14. She also vaguely remembered that she had also been abducted many times before between the age of 7 and 14 and maybe more after that. Before Alicia could remember anything else, she felt a wave of sleepiness and she tried extremely hard to stay awake. It wasn't long before she closed her eyes and drifted away to sleep.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\nWhen Alicia and Matt woke up, they found themselves together in each other's arms on the bed. Like many times before, Alicia had no memories of what had occurred to her.\n\nEPILOGUE\n\nMonths later...\n\n\"Push, Alicia!\" shouted the midwife. \"Push!\"\n\nAlicia took in a deep breath and she pushed. The cramping subsided and she loosened her grip on Matt's hand. Everyone was here for this moment; her mother, Amanda, stepfather, Bob, and sister, Karla. Each of them giving support to her as much as they could.\n\n\"One more push and it will be over,\" said the midwife.\n\nAs soon as she said that, the cramping came again. Alicia took in a deep breath and pushed with all her might. Alicia heard the faint cry of a newborn baby taking its first breath of life.\n\n\"You have a baby boy,\" said the midwife as she handed the crying baby to its mother.\n\nStrangely, the baby stopped crying when Alicia held her. Mesmerized, Alicia cradled the baby as she stared into its blue eyes.\n\nEND" } ]

It was almost midnight. The last customer came by shortly after dinner. That's what I get for working late shift at a fill up station, he thought. He picked up a magazine and started reading. Halfway through the first article the bell rang, signifying a customer. He looked up. Stepping out of a beat up chevy was probably the tallest woman he had ever seen, taller even then him. She had flowing blonde hair that came down to her petite waist, and her short mini-skirt revealed almost all of her shapely legs. The thought of a Norse valkyrie flashed through his mind. He watched her sway as she approached the door. Her nipples protruded from her pert breasts visibly beneath her tank top. She opened the door and walked in.\n\"Excuse me. I seem to have a flat. Can you help me?\" She cooed.\n\"There's an air hose around the side, by the bathroom,\" Charles replied, still staring at her petite breasts.\nShe turned around and walked out the door, heading toward the bathroom. Charles sighed, then did a double take. She had walked to the bathroom, leaving her car in front of the station. He looked at her car. All the wheels seemed fine. Charles moved over to the side window to take a better look. He couldn't see anything but the air hose was on. He knew he wasn't supposed to leave the store, but curiosity got the better of him. He opened the front door, and walked around to where the female was. She was standing there, facing away from him, the air hose under her tank top.\n\"Excuse me?\" He asked.\nShe spun around, and his jaw dropped. Her petite chest was now about the size of cantaloupes, stretching her tank top, and they were still growing. He just stood in awe as her breasts expanded larger, and larger. She grinned and licked her lips seductively.\n\"Almost full,\" she exclaimed gleefully, as the fabric was stretched to near breaking point.\nCharles just stood there in amazement. Finally she pulled the air hose out, causing her to jump, and her breasts to bounce wildly.\n\"Whoops, a little too much,\" she giggled.\n\"How?\" Was all Charles could manage to say.\n\"Thanks a lot. You're a life saver,\" she said, pulling out a five dollar bill and handing it to him.\nHe watched as she bounded back to her car. She glanced back, and waved, causing her body to quiver. Charles sighed as she got in to the car and drove off. He walked back inside, and sat down. He pulled out his wallet to put the bill in it, and then did a double take. Written on the bill was a name, and a phone number. He sighed. Sometimes it's good to work the night shift, he thought.\n" } ]

The white band room was about the same size as the huge two-story lunch room, except it had large windows in the back which allowed sunlight to filter in at the right spots. The band room was part of a very large band department which took up half of the first floor. The band department was in the back of the school. A hallway separated it from the 4 story, two level auditorium. Dontae opened the wide door to the band room.\n\nMs. Allen was standing in front of the room writing something down on the board. There were lots of furs running around doing various tasks. Dontae just stood looking from the doorway until a somewhat short Jack Russell Terrier with a silver trumpet in his paw instructed him to help set up the chairs around the room. Dontae sat down his stuff and did as he was told.\n\nDontae, along with all of the new recruits, arranged the plastic blue chairs in several rows facing the black chalkboard that Ms. Allen was writing on. She stopped writing and looked at her watch and blew her whistle. Everyone stopped what they were doing.\n\n\"Take a seat near the front, everybody.\" Ms. Allen, the black wolf band director yelled. She had on a pair of black designer jeans, a white shirt and a black jean jacket as if she were a high school student herself. Her black headfur was pulled to the back into a short pony tail tied with a rubber band. She wore a whistle around her neck like the head coach. Everyone did as they were told. Ms. Allen then picked up her white conductor's baton.\n\n\"Welcome everyone to the first day of Franklin Tech Band Camp. . .\" she said. The old wolf made a long speech about how vigorous band practice would be. She mentioned the ground rules, \"Everyone must know the music! The five little marches that were passed out to you were to test your memory, but I'll talk about that more later. I will issue new music out EVERYDAY during this summer band camp. If you do not learn the music in time you WILL be punished in several different ways. It could range from doing a hundred push ups to 'getting motivated' by your section leader or leaders. . .\" All of the seniors and section leaders cheered at this, which made the new recruits a bit uneasy. Ms. Allen continued her speech.\n\n\"From now on, all new recruits will be called 'Rookies'. I want all the Rookies to come in tomorrow morning wearing w white tee shirt with a LARGE 'R' written in black on the front of it. If you do not have the white shirt by tomorrow, you WILL be punished and you will receive one from us, and it won't be a new one. Probably just some white shirt left in the instrument room from last year. . .\" she paused a little and cleared her throat, \"Ok, as for band room rules, there will be no eating or drinking allowed in this room or in the recital hall or in any of the practice rooms. Hats, scarves, etc are not allowed anywhere in the school. Gum is DEFINITELY not allowed by percussionist. If I see any percussionist chewing gum I will personally correct them. Other than those rules, the rest is pretty much common sense, you should know how to behave, but if your not sure, there is a list of all the rules posed on the wall to your left.\" She said sarcastically with a laugh. \"Now I want all of the section leaders to stand up and come up to the front and introduce themselves.\" Eight furs stood up and came to the front. \"These here will help you with anything you need because I won't be bothered with any freshmen. Only come to me if the building is on fire or something is directly effecting me.\" Ms Allen said. The upperclassmen laughed a little. Ms. Allen took a sip of water from a water bottle. \"Go ahead, introduce yourselves!\" She yelled with a sarcastic smile. That was one thing Dontae noticed, she always smiled.\n\nThe first was a male hyena. He was kind of thin and short and wore a green hoodie and sagging black jeans.\n\n\"Hi, I'm Carlos Westwood, and I'm the baritone section leader.\"\n\nThe next was a male lion. His mane was tied to the back of his head in a ponytail which made a huge puffball of orangish fur. He was tall and had hazel colored eyes. He was perfectly toned and was tall. His tail swished left and right as he spoke.\n\n\"I'm Marcellas Winn, the mellaphone section leader.\" he also had on a green hoodie and sagging black jeans. He had his paws in the front pocket.\n\nThe next fur was part of the same clique as the other two furs with green hoodie and the black jeans. He was a grey wolf with uncharacteristically short fur. He was thin and very tall, maybe 7 foot 3 inches.\n\n\"I'm Andre Lewis, the Tuba and sousaphone section leader.\"\n\nA girl was next. She was a siamese cat wearing a tight fitting pink shirt and white pants with some sexy tall, knee- high pink boots. She had her headfur in hundreds of thin braids called Zillions. It was a very expensive style. Her hair alone maybe cost 300 bucks.\n\n\"My name is Marcy Young. I'm the Piccolo and flute section leader.\"She said in a sweet, high-pitched voice.\n\nThe next girl was a black fox. She was a thick woman with voluptuous hips and thighs. She had on tight blue jeans and red car racing jacket and leather gloves.\n\n\"Hi. I'm Natoyia Simmons, the saxophone section leader.\" She said with a smile on her muzzle. All of the upperclassmen must have known her since there was a slight agitation in the crowd.\n\nA male Coyote that had brown fur all over except for his black paws and his ears, wearing freshly pressed black slacks, white shirt and straight tie was next. Of all the other guys up there, he was the only one who wasn't trying to look like a gangster. He was also the most physically fit of all of them in front of the seated crowd. His teeth were unbelievably white, his brown fur was perfectly pressed, and his black colored ears erect. He had a child-like positiveness about him, bouncy and playful, yet serious about what he does.\n\n\"Hello everyone!\" he said with a pause. Every responded with a 'Hi' or a 'hello'. He continued, \"For everyone who doesn't know me, my name is Desmond Wright, the trombone section leader. I am here to help everyone out with anything you might need to know. My assistant section leader, Troy, can also help you out.\" he said signaling for Troy, the tiger from the recruitment booth, to stand up. He stood up and waved to everyone. \"Myself and Ms. Allen are the founders of the Franklin Technical High School Marching Band.\" Everyone hollered and cheered, clapped and hooted. A fur or two yelled, \"You go Ms. Allen! WOOT, WOOT!!!\" Desmond smiled, along with Ms. Allen, who was also clapping and raising her paws.\n\nNext was a thin female Lynx. She had on tight jeans and red tee-shirt with her picture on the front with the caption \"Up 2 No Good\" at the top in large letters. She also had on a loose fitting black jean jacket.\n\n\"Hi, my name is Laura Kilough (pronounced 'kilo'). I'm the Clarinet section leader.\" She said with an attitude. None of the upperclassmen seemed too offended by her attitude, that was just how she was.\n\nLast but not least was the short Jack Russell's Terrier that instructed Dontae earlier.\n\n\"Hi, I'm John Madison, the trumpet section leader.\" he said with a somewhat serious face. Ms. Allen started to clap and everyone else followed her lead.\n\n\"Ok, I want everyone to get into groups by what instrument you play and follow your section leader out to the practice rooms. We will meet up in the main band room in 2 and a half hours, then at noon you will have lunch and when you come back we will have full band for the last two hours.\" Ms. Allen said.\n\nEveryone got up out of their seats and got their things that were piled up near the door. Dontae got his trumpet and his music got into the trumpet group. There was a lot of them. They were the largest group. Many of them were rookies, but about one third of them were upperclassmen who were already in marching band and knew all of the music and even performed already.\n\nJohn, the terrier, led them out of the main band room and into the band room next door to it. It was slightly smaller and was painted the same color orange as the lunch room and the entire band department except for the main band room. This smaller room was for the orchestra and other stringed- instrument bands. In Ms. Allen's opinion, they were all inferior to her symphonic and other brass and wind bands.\n\nJohn, along with a female Rottweiler, told everybody to take out their instruments and stand in a single file line facing the chalk board. While everyone did that, John and the female Rottweiler sat by the grand piano in front of the room. John sat his silver trumpet on the top while his friend had hers in her paw. All of the four band rooms had a grand piano. They talked a bit amongst themselves while John played a beautiful tune on the piano. The female rottweiler fiddled a bit with her silver trumpet's valves. Everyone else was standing in a line that went from one end of the room to the other. John stood up.\n\n\"I want everyone to know that of the eight section leaders, I am the most intense. I WILL NOT take any BS from anyone, so if you have a problem with authority, put your music on the piano and leave now without saying anything.\" he paused for a minute. No one left. \"Good!\" he said enthusiastically. He had a smile on his muzzle.\n\n\"I want everyone to stand in attention. Standing in attention is one of the main keys to being in a marching band! If you don't know how to stand in attention, my assistant section leader, Tamara, will demonstrate.\" The Female Rottweiler stood directly in the center of the front of the room and yelled,\n\n\"Ok, to stand in attention, you have your back straight, your trumpet in your LEFT paw down at waist level, eyes staring DIRECTLY ahead, legs TOGETHER, feet at a 45 degree angle, and your tail should be in the EXACT position as your section leaders.\" Tamara yelled. She stood in attention for exactly 4 counts. \"Now, I want everyone to do what I just and DON'T MOVE until I say so!\"\n\nEveryone stood perfectly straight up the way she demonstrated. it was harder than it seemed. A few furs waved or wobbled a bit and got yelled at. Tamara and John walked up and down the line correcting anyone who wasn't perfectly straight or was in the wrong position. The line was perfectly uniform. John then stood where Tamara did and stood facing away from the line so everyone could see his tail. He moved his tail straight out, pointing back to the line. Tamara made sure everyone did the same.\n\n\"This is called the ready position. When ms. Allen says 'ready position' or blows her whistle 3 times, ALL trumpet players must look exactly like this!\" he said. Then he moved his tail down so that a perfect 45 degree angle was formed with is legs and his tail. \"After Ms. Allen blows the whistle one more time, your tail should be exactly like this! You got me?\" he said as he relaxed and turned around. The two section leaders walked up and down the line again.\n\n\"I want you all to hold this position until I say 'rest mode'. When I say 'rest mode', I want everybody to open their legs to a 45 degree angle, put their trumpet out in front of them, then down, then to their chest, then down sideways where the trumpet is at crotch level. Then Tilt you head down! Do you understand?\" John said as Tamara demonstrated as he was talking. No one said a word. \"If one person move from the ready position, everyone will be punished. Now hold the ready position for exactly 15 minutes, Tamara, watch the clock.\"\n\nShe stared at the clock for a few seconds then said, \"BEGIN\". No one moved an inch. A minute passed by then another two. In the fourth minute, a fox made a mistake and moved out of line. John yelled \"STOP!! Everyone get down on the floor, 25 push-ups.\"\n\nEveryone moaned and did as they were told. \"Hurry up, we don't have all day!\" John snapped. He pushed down a few of the girls who thought they were too pretty to do physical exercise. \"And no girl push-ups either!\" he yelled. John went back to the front of the room after everyone was in the down position for push ups. \"Marching band is all about homogenous behavior. You must all do EVERYTHING alike. When one of your mates does a push up wrong, we will all start over again from one. We will do then at my count. 1 . . . 2. . . ready . . . GO! UP . . . down. That's one. UP . . . DOWN. That's 2. . .\" he went all the way up to 25. Tamara watched everyone as they did their push ups. They only started over twice. The second time they started over they were on number 22.\n\n\"EVERYONE IN READY POSITION!\" John yelled. Everyone quickly hurried to the line and got into position. This time they did it for the entire 15 minutes without fault, which was extremely hard since Tamara was trying to make people laugh on purpose. She would stand behind John and mock him and make faces as he lectured to the group about the importance of conformity in Marching Band. No one laughed, they knew the consequences.\n\n\"Now, time for everyone to introduce themselves AND their family, but these people you see in here in this band room now are now your brothers and sister and your trumpet is you mama and I am your daddy. So when you introduce yourself, say your full name, your brother or sister's name before you, your mother's name and you father's name.\" Starting on this end.\" he said pointing to the left. Everything went by flawlessly. There were no dumb furs here at this school, but there were some fools, who shall be seen later.\n\n\"Good, good! This has to be one of the smartest groups of rookies in years!\" Tamara said.\n\n\"Well, it's time for a little test. . . YOU!\" John snapped, \"You have 5 seconds to introduce your fifth brother! . . . 1 . . .2 . . . 3. . . \" The little fox was caught off guard with the question. He stumbled in his words and looked down the line. The number 5 brother was more than 6 places away from him he noticed as he stepped out of attention to look. Tamara sighed as John said '5'.\n\n\"Now look what you did! You stepped out of attention when no one told you to. So . . .\" John said with his back facing the little fox in line, \"Not only did you stepped out of line, you failed to answer the question!\" John turned around and snapped, \"The correct answer was 'James Tak, brother of Daisy Weathers (the sister before him, number 4), son of a trumpet and The Great John Madison!\" he said it within 3 seconds and paused for about 2 seconds after he said it. \"Now everyone will do 50 pushups!\" He said with a smile. Everyone moaned or smacked their lips.\n\n\"Why do we all have to do push-ups?\" A little smart mouthed wolf said.\n\n\"Because if were marching and this little boy here,\" John said pointing to the little fox, \"was to step out of his position, it could cost the entire band an award, now I want you all to do 100 push ups before you leave today, but now,\" John said enthusiastically, \" But now, I want everyone to be calm, stand up and get ready to play some music. Take out the five marches, no, leave the marches alone. I want everyone to play it from memory. This time, If anyone doesn't know it, they will owe me an additional 25 push ups and if you don't know any of the music, don't show up tomorrow.\"\n\nEveryone stood up relived. It was finally time for playing some music. They had wasted over an hour already. Tamara and John picked up their trumpet and arranged everyone into a semi-circle around them.\n\n\"If you know the music, I want to go deaf. Play as loud as you possibly can because if I can point out a person who doesn't know it, I will punish them. So just do your brother's and sisters a favor and play as loud as you can. We will start off with a warm up then go directly into 'The Purple Carnival'\".\n\nThe warm-up music was passed out and the swarm of trumpets played. It wasn't the most beautiful of sounds that came from the bell of the rookies trumpets. Many of them were no good at all. The warm up was called, \"E Flat Warm up\". After the short warm up, John instructed everyone to play the B flat concert scale, which was a scale that ANY musician should know. He had them play it in whole notes and then at different rhythmic patterns. After that it was some long tones, just a few notes played as long as possible. After the warm up, came the hard stuff, the five marches.\n\n\"Now, I may be a strict section leader but I am fair. We will first play it without the music to hear how much you all know, then we will play it with the music so everyone will know it at a performance level.\" John said. The first march was \"The Purple Carnival\" by Harry Alfred. John took it at a slow and easy pace. No too many furs knew it and there were plenty of gaps of pure silence or unsteady notes being played. John and Tamara then demonstrated how the piece should have sounded. John played the first trumpet part and Tamara played the second trumpet part. They demonstrated it flawlessly. Then he divided the group up into three smaller groups so they can get individual attention to see what everyone's strengths and weaknesses were. John had a group, Tamara had a group, and Tony, an eleventh grader who was to be section leader after John and Tamara left, had his own group.\n\nDontae was in Tamara's group. He was in a small group of about 7 trumpet players. They stood in a part of the fairly large band room. Dontae was nervous, but the other four male furs sure wasn't. Tamara dime piece and they made sure she knew it. She made everyone in her group stand in a perfect line and to take out the music. She made Dontae get a few music stands from the middle of the room. He did so without a word.\n\nThey practiced extensively on the music. Tamara went down the line with each of the rookies and made them play a certain part of the song until they got it right, which at times took a while. When everybody got it right, they played through the entire march with the music, then without it. Tamara took them through all five of the marches before it was time to go to Ms. Allen in the Main Band room.\n\nJohn led everyone back into the main band room. Ms. Allen made yet another speech and dismissed everyone to lunch. The upperclassmen gave their orders to the new rookies. Since none of the rookies had cars they had to do a lot of walking. John gave his order to Dontae. He wanted a dollar bag of chips and Pepsi from the store and he gave Dontae a dollar for going.\n\nDontae, along with all of the other rookies left to go to the store and have some rest. The trumpet rookies stayed together and so did all of the other sections. They had a hour break for lunch and the store was only 2 blocks away. It was a hot day. They decided to talk amongst themselves.\n\n\"So, what did you all think of John and Tamara?\" De Varin, a Labrador, asked as they walked to the store.\n\n\"John needs to chill. I almost went off on him when were in groups. I was given the first trumpet part on all five of the marches and I knew them by memory, but he wanted me to learn the fourth trumpet part just because I'm a freshman. Fuck him! He just mad because I got chops.\" David, a fox with pure red fur said with disgust. The truth was, he could play almost as good as John. Given the right amount of time, he could easily challenge him for his chair. Someone laughed.\n\n\"Yeah right, Dave. You were a nobody last year in middle school. Last time I checked, you were sitting way back in 6th chair.\"\n\n\"I could still play better than you, Charlie. You only had first chair because your father was the band director.\" David said. Everyone laughed.\n\n\"Well, If you want, you can challenge me after practice. Whoever knows the five marches better is the better fur.\" Charlie said. David agreed.\n\n\"Well while you two are having a dick measuring contest, I will getting Tamara's number.\" Ronald, an arrogant Golden lab said while running a comb through his beautiful golden head fur.\n\nDe Varin, David, and Ronald argued and talked all the way to the store about music and who could get into Tamara's pants by the end of Summer Band Camp. They went to the same middle school, The infamous Cranbrook Academy. They were one of the few middle school that had a marching band. Their marching band was known to have outplayed a few high school bands. There were a lot of Cranbrook students here in the group, but these three were their own gang. They constantly competed and measured each other's skills. They all had chops and even though David sat in the 6th chair, he was as better than the best of them. 7 of the 9 section leaders graduated from the Cranbrook Academy.\n\nDontae walked in near silence to the store with the group. He had his hands in his pockets and was looking down at the ground as he walked. Someone walked up to him from another group of Rookies.\n\n\"Hi. What school are you from?\" The male jackal asked Dontae.\n\n\"I went to Taft. You?\"\n\n\"I went to Cranbrook.\" He said. \"By the way, my names Christopher.\"\n\n\"I'm Dontae.\"\n\n\"It's pretty hard here in marching band, but I'm used to it. I was the saxophone section leader. Natoyia is pretty tough. I already had to do 50 push ups. Who's your section leader?\"\n\n\"I have John. He's no joke. We have to do 100 push ups before we leave today. I used to be the trumpet section leader at my school, but we didn't have a marching band, just a concert band.\"\n\n\"Well, my advice is to do ANYTHING the upperclassmen say. That's how you move up in the marching band world. They will tell you to do a few stupid things, but do it with a smile on your muzzle. Just get cool with the upperclassmen and they will let you do anything you want. Just practice with them and learn the music, be like their student. They'll love you for it.\" Christopher said with a smile.\n\nDontae nodded as they walked into the small liquor store. This neighborhood was one of the worst in the city. There were crack-heads on the corner, run-down slum buildings, and a high density of liquor stores.\n\nThe one that the large group of rookies went to was too small to fit everybody in there, so the sections broke off and went to one of the other three stores in that three block radius of the school. Dontae brought Johns chips and his Pepsi and himself an orange pop. When they left the store, Dontae noticed that the football team was having practice in the field next to the school. He saw Todd, Dontae's tiger master, instructing the new football recruits to do push-ups. He stared at him for a while then Christopher broke his gaze.\n\n\"Come on! We have to hurry up. I'm sure John wouldn't want to be kept waiting.\" He said.\n\nWhen they got back to the band room, Dontae gave John his stuff and drank his orange pop over with all of the other trumpet rookies. John said nothing to him and walked away to the group of other upperclassmen and section leaders.\n\nAfter lunch there was Full Band in the main band room for the last two hours. All of the rookies had to set up chairs and make sure the floor was clean. The chairs were in several rows in a semi-circle facing the black board and Ms. Allen. There was a music stand for every other chair. She came into the band room from the music library, which was a room between the main band room and the orchestra band room. She came out with the scores to all five marches in her paws. She put them down on a music stand in front of the band room. She blew her whistle and everyone sat down in a designated area.\n\n\"Welcome, everyone, to Full Band. This is where the entire band comes together and practice the music and the dance routines. If you are late, you will 25 push-ups for every minute you were late. If anyone does not know the music, they will have to do push-ups through the entire song. And if more than half of a section does not know the music, everyone in the band room including section leaders will have to do 100 push-ups. Now, I want everyone to take out the music. Today will be one of the very few days we will have the music out during full band.\" Ms. Allen said. She raised her baton. \"In Storm and Sunshine.\" She waited for about ten second then gave the speed of the march and then started conducting. Everyone started playing.\n\nIt was extremely intense for Dontae. Every fur played the music as loud as they possible could. Dontae's ears could barely handle it, but he looked at the music and played the music. For marching band, a soft Pianissimo was played at a mezzo forte. A Fortissimo was played at the top of their lungs. After about ten measures into the march, Ms. Allen stopped the music. She then instructed for the flutes and clarinets to play louder and for the tubas to tongue harder and with more force. She then told the piccolos to tune up and the trumpets to play quieter since there was so many of them. After that, she started over from the beginning.\n\nDontae sat next to John and Tamara and could hear how loud and high they were playing. In fact, Dontae could see all nine of the section leaders and their assistants. They all put forth 200% even though this was just the first day of practice. Every solo was played a beautifully as possible. The baritone section leader, Carlos Westland, took in huge breaths of air and put so much force into his tonguing the notes thundered out of his silver marching baritone. he was one of the loudest players in the band. He may have been skinny and somewhat scrawny, but he could blow the loudest. Some section leaders took certain parts of the march up an octave. Dontae could barely keep up. Desmond Wright, the trombone section leader and co-founder of the band, was the only trombonist Dontae ever heard play his trombone as if it were a trumpet. He moved the trombone slide with such dexterity and tongued so precisely, he seem like a coyote possessed. They were like . . . like music Gods in Dontae's eyes, all of the section leaders. They took such pride in what they did.\n\nDontae was held spellbound by the way the section leaders played. There was something about having full control over an instrument that just turned Dontae on. Even though everyone played as loud as they could, he could still pick out the very delicate flute part and could hear Marcellas Winn's, the french horn/ mellophone section leader, fast paced mellophone runs. If the whole band went silent for a minute and just allowed the nine section leaders to play, it would be just as loud because they cared so much about their skill. They were Dontae's eight music Gods: John, Carlos, Marcellas, Marcy, Natoyia, Andrew, Desmond and Laura.\n\nMs. Allen went through all five marches with a fine tooth comb, making sure it was balance just right. Then she told all of the rookies to stack the chairs and put them in the back of the band room along with the music stands. Ms. Allen blew the whistle three short times and everyone stood in attention.\n\n\"The Purple Carnival!\" Ms. Allen called out, then after less than 2 seconds she started conducting.\n\nEveryone who didn't start when she started had to drop down a do push-ups through the entire song. Before long, more than half of the new rookies were on the ground doing push-ups. When the song was over, ms. Allen yelled \"100 push-ups after practice. 'In Storm And Sunshine'!\". Everyone stood up and when she started conducting everyone started on time and almost every fur knew the song.\n\n\"Barnum and Baily's Favorite\" was the next march she called. It was one of the hardest marches for trumpet and baritone players. When the song was done and she saw a third of the band on the ground doing push-ups, she yelled \"200 after practice!\" then she went on to the next song. She did that for the rest of the marches then stopped. Everyone had to do 200 push-ups, including section leaders. Ms. Allen counted them out slowly. She thenh called for all of the upperclassmen to play the franklin Tech Alma Mater. Ms. Allen directed this with much care and passion. The Alma Mater was to be played after each and every practice. It was a slow and sweet song. It wasn't to be played as loud as the other songs were. The rookies were instructed to stand in attention and just listen. The Eight Music Gods of Dontae played the Alma mater with as much care as Ms. Allen did conducting it. Dontae's ears were perked up and he closed his eyes and just let the music carry him. After that practice was over, but she called a meeting with John and Tamara off to the side. John told all of the trumpet rookies to meet him in the other band room in five minutes.\n\nEveryone did as they were told. John and Tamara came into the band room and told everyone to get into attention.\n\n\"Ms. Allen and I had a meeting a few minutes ago and basically, we agreed that the trumpet section is too large. Now at this time I will take volunteers who would like to go transferred over to either the Baritone section or the mellophone section. Step forward if you would like to.\" John said. A few furs stepped forward but not many. Just then Carlos and Marcellas came into the room along with two other furs.\n\n\"So you got the news, eh?\" Carlos said.\n\n\"Yeah, I'm dividing them up now.\" John said. One of the furs that came in with the two section leaders then spoke.\n\n\"Man, you have a big ass section! You should let us pick who we want in our section.\" he said. He was also a wold like Carlos and a senior. His name was Kevin and was the baritone assistant section leader. Kevin was as thin as Carlos was and had on the same green hoodie and jeans.\n\n\"Yeah, we should be able to pick. You would probably just give us your crappy rookies.\" Marcellas said. The fur behind him was a mellophone rookie.\n\n\"Alright. Ms. Allen said you can have five each from my section.\" John said. Carlos, Kevin, and Marcellas walked up and down the line of trumpet rookies.\n\n\"Who is this?\" John asked Marcellas, referring to the rookie that was with him. Marcellas only turned his perky ears over to john direction and without turning to face him said,\n\n\"That's Aiden. He's my only mellophone rookie.\" Marcellas said. John laughed a little.\n\n\"I guess not too many furs know what a mellophone is.\" Tamara said. \"Come here boy. Show everyone what a mellophone is.\" she continued.\n\nAiden raised the horn up in the air and showed everyone what a mellophone was. It looked like a trumpet with a much bigger bell and a little extra loop of tubing on the first valve. Aiden was a short dark orange and black fox a with a LOT of head fur. He smiled wide like a little kid. His face and muzzle was somewhat rounded.\n\n\"So can he play?\" John asked.\n\n\"Hell yeah! He may be the only mellophone rookie but I bet he could beat the best of yours. He's, dare I say it, as good as Desmond was when he first started in ninth grade.\" Marcellas said without looking back. He and Carlos were still looking for the best picks.\n\n\"Play something!\" John said with authority to the short, 5 foot nothing fox. He put the horn up to his lips and john stopped him as he saw what kind of mouthpiece he uses. He took the horn from the little fox's paws and walked over to Tamara. \"Oh my God! He uses a Jet Tone mouthpiece!?!?!\"\n\n\"Yeah, he's just that good.\" Marcellas said as he turned around now that he noticed John really had his eye on his only rookie. A Jet Tone mouthpiece is a mouthpiece that allow a brass player to play unusually high notes easier. John handed the horn back to Aiden, but he snatched it back and gave him a dirty look as if he was nobody to him.\n\n\"Just play!\" John said. Aiden put the mellophone back up to his lips and played the beginning of the french horn part to 'The Purple carnival\". The mellophones usually played the french horn parts. He played until he got to a trumpet solo part and paused for a second, then went on to play John's trumpet solo which he had only heard once during full band then he went on to play so one the flutes hard runs (a run is a series of 16th notes, trills, revolutions and other frills that are not part of the melody). Aiden basically made his own solo arrangement from the march flawlessly. John was shocked. Aiden smiled at the end and took a bow. John said nothing.\n\nCarlos and Marcellas walked around the line one more time then stood back in front with John, Tamara and Aiden.\n\n\"Ok, we have our choices.\" Carlos said rubbing his paws together greedily.\n\n\"I want the wolf, the Dane, the ferret, that female wolf, and that fox.\" Marcellas said pointing to various furs in line.\n\n\"Ok, ok. I want the fox, that Corgi, the wolf on the end, the vixen, and . . . that wold over there.\" Carlos said referring to Dontae. The ten chosen furs stepped forward and were instructed to put their trumpets back in the instrument room and to pick up a baritone or a mellophone. They followed their new section leaders out of the orchestra band room and into the instrument room.\n\nDontae followed Carols to the baritone section of the instrument room. There were only two marching baritones and Carlos and Kevin were using them. The rookies had to use a concert baritone. A marching baritone looked like a massive trumpet. The bell points outward like a trumpet does, the valves are in the center facing up, it was easy to carry, compact, and just looked cool. A concert baritone was the complete opposite. It looked like miniature tuba. The bell faced straight up, the valves were at an angle, it was difficult to march with since it was designed to sit on your knee. Carlos issued them out. On the mellophone side was the same problem. There were only about 2 mellophones and everyone else had to get a french horn.\n\nDontae followed the rest of the trumpet- baritone converts into one of the large practice rooms on the other side of the band room. Carlos passed out the baritone part to the five marches and since they converted from one instrument to another, they had a lot more time to learn it. Dontae said hello to his new brothers and sisters.\n\nDontae was getting ready to leave when he saw Todd standing in the doorway.\n\n\"I thought you might need a ride home.\" Todd said dangling a pair of keys. He had on his football gear. Dontae smiled uneasily. Todd and Dontae walked down the hallway out of the band department. Dontae had to carry the large baritone case. He followed the tiger into the bathroom on the third floor. Todd closed the door and locked it. The tiger had a grin on his short feline muzzle. He leaned against the tiled wall of the dirty bathroom. Dontae just stood still near the door. Everything was quiet. Dontae swished his bushy tail back and forth then laid it down against his right leg.\n\n\"So, Dontae, How was your first day of band camp?\" Todd asked with his sly smile on his muzzle. His head was cocked to the left slightly and his arms crossed, but looked relaxed.\n\n\"It was alright. Kinda hard though.\" Dontae responded.\n\n\"It's time for you to do something for me, Dontae.\" Todd said. Dontae felt a little bit uncomfortable. He put down the baritone case, took off his shirt and walked up to Todd and got down to his knees. Dontae unzipped the tiger's jeans and his hard feline cock bobbed out. It was less than an inch away from Dontae's muzzle. He sniffed in the strong sent of Todd's arousal. The tiger smelled like sweat and dirt from football practice, pure animalistic essence. Dontae slid Todd's 7 inch member into his muzzle and began to bob up and down the tiger's slick cock. Todd moaned in pleasure. He knew it was Dontae's first time doing this, but he had watched him do it to him for a while now.\n\n\"This isn't what I was talking about when I said it's time for you to do something for me.\" Todd said. Dontae took the Tiger's cock out of his mouth. He was enjoying having the thick meat in his muzzle.\n\n\"But I didn't say stop.\" Todd continued. With a smile, Dontae put the cock back into his muzzle and sucked on his cock like a popsicle. Todd purred for a few moments and ran his paws though Dontae's head fur.\n\n\"So today, you have a pretty good idea who the section leaders are?\" Todd said. Dontae nodded with the cock in his muzzle. \"Do you know John Madison, the trumpet section leader?\" Todd asked. Dontae nodded again. \"I want you to find out as much about him as possible. What's his favorite food, who is parent's are, what size pants do he wear, how frequently he goes to the bathroom, everything. You understand? I want a report back at the end of every week during summer band camp.\" Todd said, his paws still going through Dontae's head fur as he bobbed on his cock.\n\nDontae nodded again and started to massage Todd's full balls. He took the tiger's cock out of his mouth and started sucking his balls. Todd's cock spurted a few jets of pre as he took it out of his muzzle. His face fur was slick and sticky because of the sheer volume of pre cum that came out of the tip of his feline cock. Dontae put it back into his muzzle and began to suck as hard as he could, applying much pressure with his canine tongue on his pink shaft.\n\nTodd began to tense up. He pulled back from the wolf making sure that his cock was completely out of his muzzle. Todd held the wolf's head back, grabbed his feline cock and began stroking it. He came all over Dontae's chest fur. Jet after jet of hot tiger cum landed on the wolf's chest. Dontae felt deprived. He wanted Todd's cum in his muzzle.\n\n\"You don't get to taste me until after I get what I want.\" Todd said as he squeezed out the last few drops of cum on to Dontae's chest. The wolf's grey fur was white and dripping with his cum. Todd smiled then wiped the cum off the tip of his cock into his hand and ran it through Dontae's head fur. Todd looked down at the wolf's hard member pressing against the fabric of his jeans. A small wet spot was on his jeans. It was just pre cum.\n\n\"You can take care of that when you get home.\" Todd said. He zipped up his jeans and went over to the sink to wash his hands. \"Remember what I said. Get as much information about John as you can and at the end of the week if I like your report, I'll let you taste every drop.\" he said as he walked out of the bathroom. Dontae was still on his knees covered in the tiger's cum. He got up and wiped his chest clean with his paws and licked it clean. It was cold and wasn't as good but he used the tiger's cum as lube as he stroked his own member standing by the sink. Dontae stroked his wolf cock vigorously and fast. He came hard on the sink. His cum ran down white tile under the sink top. He licked his paws clean and left his cum on the sink. No one would care in the dirty mens bathroom. There was piss on the floor and old used condoms in the stalls. Dontae grabbed his big baritone case and left our of the bathroom.\n\nHe went home and took a long shower. His parents were not home, it was only a little after 3pm. They usually got home at around 6 or 7. Dontae thought about how he was going to get the information about his ex-section leader, John Madison. \"But why is Todd trying to pay so much attention to John?\" Dontae thought during his shower. He just shook the thought and started thinking about the reward.\n\n\\* \\* \\*\n\nThank you for reading another of my stories ^.^ If you have any comments, criticism, or concerns that you want me to read directly, just emali me at me NEW email adress:\n\n[[email protected]](https://www.sofurry.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection)\n\nAlso if you want your personal character to appear in this series or another one of my stories, just send me a description and I'll get right back at ya." } ]

Once again she had been passed over for a much needed promotion. The one they had promoted this time was a rival who had stolen her last assignment and lied about how he had come up the idea himself. Nikon sighed, still growling a little at the incident.\n\nNikon's employer, Janet Wyathe, peeked into Nikon's cubicle at this moment. She had heard the minimal growling. \"What are you doing, Ms. Procyos?\"\n\nNikon glanced up suddenly! \"Um... planning my next assignment, Ms. Wyathe. An informant... er... told me about a new species...\" Nikon's mind was racing. Then, she saw the article in an old newspaper about mages. \"In... um... the orient...\" Nikon then hurriedly darted her eyes around the cubicle for something to call the new species. That's when she saw her little 3-inch tall Miles \"Tails\" Prower figurine. \"Oddly enough... they call it... a kitsune... My informant claims that it has multiple tails. I'm not sure if I believe this, ma'am, but it is worth checking into. If it's a scam, we can help put a stop to it. But if it's real... It's the story of a lifetime, Ms. Wyathe.\"\n\nJanet hummed. \"Sounds like a wild goose chase, but I've been watching you, Ms. Procyos. You often succeed where others fail and you try hard to complete every assignment. Against my better judgement, in this case... I'm going to give you clearance to pursue this story...\"\n\nNikon's heart jumped as she smiled.\n\nJanet continued, \"...under the condition that you get yourself a mage to help protect you when you're in the orient.\"\n\nNikon blinked her eyes! \"A mage? Why?\"\n\nJanet grinned. \"If kitsune are real, then you'll need a mage's protection. If it's a scam, then no harm done. That's the condition. No mage, no assignment. I'll look forward toward hearing about your progress, Ms. Procyos.\"\n\nNikon erf'ed, as Janet Wyathe left the cubicle, returning toward the main offices. Nikon sighed, thinking, (Oh man... what have I done? I could lose my job if I can't get a mage to help me. Who can I get?)\n\nFortunately, it didn't take Nikon long to figure out who to pay a visit to. There was a mage living quite close to Seattle, though the government was constantly keeping tabs on his activities. He was well known and highly controversial. Though his lifestyle was nearly unknown to the general public, although there were the rumors of strange creatures being associated with his mystic citadel. Nikon was soon arriving in the parking circle in front of the magical estate. Upon getting out of her car, Nikon got a glimpse of creatures in the nearby woods that seemed to uphold the rumors of how unusual this place truly was. \"Was that a unicorn?\"\n\nNikon made her way up to the front door and rang the doorbell. She only had to wait a few moments before the door opened to reveal a ratman wearing a dark kimono and purple headband.\n\nThe ratman said, \"Can I help you?\"\n\nNikon wasn't expecting that, as she stepped back without meaning to. \"Um... Is Valerian Mouse here, or are you... him?\"\n\nThe ratman smiled. \"You flatter me. Were I Master Mouse-san, I would not be living here. I am his apprentice, Ryu Shou from San Francisco. I am a wererat learning magic under Master Mouse-san. Please, come in. I will escort you to where Master Mouse-san is studying.\"\n\nNikon blinked her eyes, but nodded her head, following Ryu into the citadel.\n\nRyu led Nikon into the unusual home, and down a hallway, turning to the left into a vast study. Ryu cleared his throat politely, saying, \"Valerian? There is someone to see you.\" Ryu then turned to Nikon, saying, \"I need to return to my studies.\" Ryu departed, leaving Nikon to face the mage alone.\n\nValerian Mouse merely looked over his study desk at Nikon.\n\nShe appears to be about 25 years old, having dark brown shoulder length hair and dark eyes. Her skin is a light tan. Nikon currently wore a khaki colored vest over a white blouse, tight blue jeans, and rugged climbing boots. Around her neck, draped down one shoulder, she carried a complete camera set, as well as video equipment.\n\n\"Hello. I am Valerian Mouse. And you are...?\"\n\nNikon replied, \"I am Nikon Procyos with the National Geographic Explorer. I need your help in a matter of unusual circumstance. I received a report from an informant in the Orient about a new species of animal that has been seen briefly, but never photographed. And I was assigned to go document it's existence and photograph it. This is not normally cause for someone like me to seek out a mage's assistance, but in this case, the new species is being called a kitsune.\"\n\nValerian arched an eye. Of course he was interested, but the Orient was outside his operating sphere of influence. Valerian leveled his gaze on Nikon and replied, \"No.\"\n\nNikon asked, \"What do you mean 'No'? Do you realize what you are passing up?\"\n\nValerian merely gazed at her unanswering.\n\nNikon was getting frustrated. \"Will you at least tell me why you won't help me?\"\n\nValerian tilted his head, while getting up. He walked over to a shelf in the room, picking up an archaic oriental sculpturette. \"Do you know what this is?\"\n\nNikon got up, walking over to look closely at the figurine. She examined it closely, then looked at Valerian. \"This is ancient. It should be in a museum, not idly sitting on your shelf.\"\n\nValerian smirked, placing it back on the shelf. Then he again leveled a gaze at Nikon. \"Your ignorance about this real magical relic is the exact reason I won't help you. You are asking me to throw caution to the wind and escort you deep into Chinese and Indian territories, chasing after a, well, legend, at best. Just so you can take the picture of a lifetime. You do not realize what you are dealing with. Give up this silly notion and go home.\"\n\nNikon placed her hands on her hips. \"I am not one to take 'No' for an answer.\"\n\nValerian smiled. \"If you were so easily dissuaded, I would be greatly disappointed. However, be that as it may, the answer is still no.\"\n\nNikon didn't move.\n\nValerian, still smiling, walked around her, saying, \"You may visit as long as you like, but as far as I am concerned, this meeting is over.\" He made to leave the study.\n\nNikon was hot on his heels. \"If you think you can ditch Nikon Procyos so easily, you are sadly mistaken. I will dog your steps throughout your citadel until you give in. I will follow you to the ends of the Earth.\"\n\nValerian was mentally laughing, but didn't stop walking. \"You are free to do as you like.\"\n\nNikon followed Valerian closely through the halls of the citadel.\n\nNow, as many of you may remember, the Mystic Citadel was an embassy for the strange, the magical, the mythical, and the supernatural.\n\nValerian turned left into the grand library. Within, a japanese teenager was sitting at a table, researching several old tomes and studying a map of the night skies.\n\nValerian said, \"Hello Kwy-saugi Raeyu. How goes your research?\"\n\nRaeyu lifted his head out of the book he held, and replied, \"The research is going very well. I would not have thought that a mortal would have such a fine collection of ancient tomes.\" He looked at Nikon. \"And who is your 'shadow'?\"\n\nValerian smiled. \"Raeyu, this is Nikon Procyos. She's a photographer for National Geographic Explorer. She's wanting me to make a trip to the Orient to track down a...\" He paused for dramatic effect. \"...kitsune. So she can photograph it in it's natural environment.\"\n\nRaeyu smirked. \"You have to be kidding? A kitsune would rip you both to shreds before you could get your camera lifted. That is, if the kitsune didn't play with you first. Best to leave that species alone. It's better if you go photograph a unicorn. Safer too.\"\n\nNikon again placed her hands on her hips. \"I don't back away from an assignment that I've been asked to cover. I have faced grizzly bears, rattlesnakes, cougars, and even rhinos in Africa. I do not back down from a challenge. And this one is getting more interesting as we speak. You both have just verified that kitsune really exist. Now, I really want to go photograph one. And if you won't come with me, I'll go alone. If anything bad happened to me, it will be mostly your fault for not coming along to protect me, Mr. Mouse.\"\n\nRaeyu looked at Valerian carefully. \"Ms. Procyos. From what I have seen, it is usually not a good idea to threaten (nor blackmail) the western hemisphere's most powerful mage.\"\n\nValerian laughed! \"Thank you for the kind words, Raeyu, but I am not the most powerful mage: only the most famous one. Truly powerful mages never allow themselves to be solicited publicly, but I will cover that another day.\" He leveled his gaze at Nikon. \"I can see you're not going to go away until you've gotten what you want.\" He glanced straight up through the glass ceiling of the library, then returned his gaze to Nikon. He sighed, saying, \"When would you like to make the trip over there?\"\n\nNikon smiled triumphantly! \"How does Friday sound? I realize you may have preparations to make for such a trip. I will return on Friday. And you'd better be ready, or I will hunt you down like the elusive mage you are.\"\n\nValerian nodded his head. \"I will be ready. And so will my travelling companions. Do you think I'd make such a trip alone? We will be ready then.\"\n\nNikon Procyos smiled. \"I can see myself out.\" She left the library, heading out of the Citadel. She looked over her shoulder one time as she was getting into her car, again catching the glimpse of the unicorn. Then, she drove back into Seattle.\n\nFriday morning brought two large groups to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Nikon Procyos was waiting next to her camera crew of other men and women, and several pounds of filming equipment. The second group came walking out of the terminal. Valerian Mouse was walking in front, as the second group approached the first. Finally, both groups were gathered.\n\n\"Why did you bring so many people?\" Nikon annoyingly exclaimed. She looked over the gathered assortment of people one by one.\n\n\"I might ask you the same question, Ms. Procyos. Where we're going is dangerous.\" Valerian too looked over the filming group with a brief scan of his eyes.\n\nNikon replied, \"Did you think I could handle all this equipment myself? My group is a standard filming team. No more, no less. Why did you bring so many?\"\n\nValerian smirked. \"If you thought I, Valerian Mouse, could oversee this expedition by myself, you are sorely mistaken. Each of the people in my team are absolutely necessary. Kwy-saugi Raeyu you've met already. He is familiar with the area we're going to.\" (See F1.) Valerian turned to the rest of his team. \"Allow me to introduce the others. This is Mark Jolson, a United States government liaison for keeping track of my activities outside my citadel.\" (See F2.)\"And these two are my friends of long association, Felix Ocean and Andros Fox. This is a, well, vacation for them.\" (See F3.) He smiled knowingly to the two. They both smiled back. \"And the next couple are my friends from San Fransisco, Lou and Kara Foo-Ching. They are martial arts instructors and very good friends of mine. They too know parts of the area we are going to.\"\n\nLou Foo-Ching laughed! \"I am mainly going to make sure my wife remains loyal to me.\"\n\nKara Foo-Ching also laughed! \"Stop that! You'll embarrass me, then I will have to hurt you.\"\n\nValerian smiled, continuing to introduce the others in his group. \"And this is Vard Kingston and Paul Kanuck. They will be lugging a lot of the equipment for the trip.\" (See F4.)*\n\nVard and Paul were obviously Valerian's bodyguards. They didn't say anything as they smiled.\n\nNikon looked over the group again, then shook her head, turning to Valerian. \"And if I complain and say they can't come, you won't come either?\"\n\nThis time Valerian smiled triumphantly! \"Now you get the idea. Shall we load this plane and get going?\"\n\nNikon said, \"Very well, but remember: this is my assignment, so don't even dream of barking orders at me or my crew.\"\n\nValerian smiled. \"Very well, if anyone dies on your team, it is all your fault.\"\n\nNikon was about to ask what he meant, but Valerian was already helping people load the plane for the trip to the Orient. Nikon pondered quietly, (If he thinks he can scare me away, he has never dealt with me before. We'll see who has the last word on this trip.) Nikon, too, began loading her equipment on the plane. The entire loading took about 45 minutes, then both teams boarded the plane, and signaled the pilot to get underway.\n\nThe plane started it's engines, then rolled down the runway.\n\nFinally, as they took to the air, the photo expedition was on it's way.\n\nTheir first stop was in Peking, China to see the Great Wall, and gather information. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. It was while Nikon was reloading film in a camera, that she noticed Valerian off to one side chatting away with what seemed to a local chinese woman. Nikon was not able to make out anything the two said, but her curiosity got the better of her and she approached cautiously. She was almost close enough to actually hear the Mandran verbs and odd pronounciations, when both Valerian and the woman looked directly at Nikon.\n\nNikon spoke up. \"Hello. I am Nikon Procyos with National Geographic Explorer. And what is your name?\"\n\nThe Chinese woman merely looked to Valerian, smiled with a wink, then vanished with a single audible \"pop\". Nikon blinked her eyes suddenly, looking to Valerian. \"Who was that?!\"\n\nValerian said to Nikon, \"'That' was my business. Not yours. But you won't stop asking about her, so I'll tell you. She is Mhi-Shin-Sing, the local mage of this region. I had to acquire permission from her to 'be' here. I am in her territory. It is considered a protocol of etiquette. And yes, she can easily mop the ground with my body.\"\n\nNikon seemed surprised to learn this magical information. \"You mean you 'have' to ask permission from the local mages to be in their home regions?\"\n\nValerian replied, \"Absolutely. Otherwise, I am forbidden to use any magic at all. And the other mages have ways of cancelling out my powers. I would be worthless to you if I could not use my magic to save anyone.\"\n\nNikon asked, \"Did you tell her why we're here?\"\n\nValerian replied, \"Yes, I had to. I have to report everything I am doing in this part of the world to the other mages. I can not do anything that would endanger the other mage's positions.\" Valerian looked directly at Nikon again. \"Shall we continue our expedition?\"\n\nValerian walked past Nikon to where the others were, with Nikon following close behind.\n\nIn the next few days, the team treked across most of China. Nikon's \"story leads\" seemed to vanish without a trace. Within a week, the crew arrived in Shillong, India. They checked into a hotel, then Valerian made to head off by himself, but Nikon was quick to catch him.\n\n\"And where do you think you're going?\"\n\nValerian looked at Nikon once again. \"I have to go get permission to be in this country, of course. Just like last time. I don't need an escort.\"\n\nNikon snagged his arm. \"How do I know you're not going off to warn the kitsune that I'm trying to take their picture?\"\n\nValerian blinked his eyes. \"I seriously doubt Garanti-Khan is a kitsune, though he might be humored by the reference.\" He pulled his arm loose from Nikon's grasp. \"Garanti-Khan is the local mage of this region. He's what you might call a rakshasa.\"\n\nIt was Nikon's turn to blink her eyes. \"A rakshasa? And a mage? I'll be back at the hotel, but don't you even dream of leaving any of us behind. We WILL find a kitsune.\" Nikon headed back to the hotel, leaving Valerian standing there.\n\nValerian headed onwards to the mage's complex.\n\nThe next morning, both crews treked outward into the Indian jungle terrain. There was ample wildlife, old ruins, and native activities to keep the NGE crew occupied. The trip also proved dangerous, as well. One of the camera crew vanished overnight without a trace. Later, they found his footprints and hat near what appeared to be a track of mud.\n\n\"Quicksand.\" Valerian identified the quagmire properly. \"He probably came out here to 'relieve' himself and walked right in it. He panicked and sank before he knew what was happening.\"\n\nTwo days later, another camera man was swallowed whole by a giant boa constrictor. Although they were able to slay the snake, it was far too late to save the camera man. His body was crushed by the shear power of the serpent's coils. Nikon and the others gave him a proper burial, then insisted upon continuing onward.\n\nAnother few days passed, as the party emerged into a portion of the jungle dotted with old shrines and ancient ruins.\n\nValerian and Raeyu studied the ancient hieroglyphs for a short period of time, then turned to the teams.\n\n\"These writings are warnings. They depict a warning to all trespassers. It is a clear kitsune clan mark.\" Raeyu exclaimed. \"The writings continue to say that no humans are permitted beyond this point. It is very strict.\"\n\nNikon didn't seem impressed. \"I am not leaving without a verifiable photograph of a kitsune in its natural environment.\" She raised her voice. \"Do you hear me, kitsune. I am not leaving without the perfect picture that I have come for.\"\n\nValerian shook his head, sighing. \"Not one for tact, are you?\"\n\nRaeyu's eyes darted back and forth. \"We are being watched. Perhaps it is kitsune; perhaps something worse.\"\n\nValerian said, \"I think it is time to show the kitsune what we truly look like. I am sure they know some of us are not what we appear to be.\"\n\nRaeyu said, \"Are you sure about this?\"\n\nValerian replied, \"We have to show them that we mean no harm and that we bear no tricks. I think it is the right thing to do.\"\n\nRaeyu nodded his head. \"Very Well. Better step back. I'll need some room.\"\n\nEveryone moved back, watching as Kwy-saugi Raeyu stretched out his arms and legs, chanting an old oriental mantra. There was a rush of wind around Raeyu's body, as his aura glowed brightly. His eyes bulged with a golden glow, and suddenly, his other aura overlapped his former aura. His human form faded slowly, as his golden dragon body slowly created itself in place of the old. His neck grew long, and his arms and legs become covered in a golden array of scales. His old aura faded from view as he solidified the draconic metamorphosis. His tail was the last to solidify, finally revealing his full length and majestic form. Nikon and the camera crew were too stunned to raise their cameras.\n\nVard and Paul both smiled. \"Nice transformation. I guess its our turn now.\"\n\nFortunately, they did not need a lot of space. They just loosened their clothes, and initiated the were-gene within themselves.\n\nVard moo'ed loudly as large antlers emerged from his forehead, his face lengthened and darkened, becoming covered in dark fur. His feet became hooves, and his arms and legs become large and muscular. His small tail bulged in his pants. As a weremoose, he bellowed approval.\n\nPaul's body filled his clothes as if someone inflated a weather balloon under his clothes. His arms and legs became large and muscular, and his head flattened, his nose and face grew to a muzzle, and he growled fiercely as he became the friendly werebear.\n\nRaeyu smiled. \"I thought I smelled lycanthropes nearby, but I did not realize how close they were. My compliments on your ability to carry yourselves so well. My brothers will not believe me when I tell them about this adventure.\"\n\nPaul also smiled, growling, \"You are larger than I expected you to be, considering how skinny and frail your human form was.\"\n\nValerian waved a hand down the front of his body. His hiking clothes vanished, and in their place, he was now wearing his magely robes and opera cloak. He then raised his voice to the jungle. \"Kitsune clan members. I am Valerian Mouse, a mage from North America. May we have an audience with you under conditions of your own choosing? We have shed our illusions and show ourselves openly to you.\" Valerian waited for an answer.\n\nThe team silently waited as the silence dragged onwards.\n\nValerian looked to Raeyu, as if to wordlessly ask, \"Are they still there?\" Raeyu merely arched his neck and head, and sniffed the air. He looked directly into one section of the jungle. Valerian gazed that direction slowly.\n\nJust then, one of Nikon's camera crew stepped forward. He seemed to be entranced by something. His speech was slow, as he walked forward. \"Follow... me... to... the... meeting... place...\"\n\nNikon asked, \"What's going on?\"\n\nValerian answered her. \"Looks like you're getting your wish. They have agreed to meet with us, I think. In any case, we follow the guide they have chosen.\"\n\nBoth teams gathered their equipment and followed the entranced camera man past the warning glyphs, and deeper into the ruins and shrines. After what seemed like a mile of slow walking, both teams followed the entranced man into a dark doorway, and were immediately plunged into a mysterious inky blackness!\n\nNikon looked around herself slowly. She seemed to be floating a foot off the ground. The surroundings were southern California. (Why am I here?), she wondered to herself. Then, she was shocked as she saw herself getting off a bus, looking through a college planner guidebook.\n\nA voice seemed to ask, (How easy it would be to help that young soul on the path of enlightenment. Tough choices she must make. Why don't you go over to her and help her decide the path that will be easier for her.)\n\nNikon was very tempted to go over and do just that, but she resisted. (That young soul is my younger self. Sure, it would be easy to send myself down the easy path, but then I would not be here now. Changing the past towards an easy path will not grant me the knowledge of enlightenment that I have acquired to get to where I am now.)\n\nNikon smiled to herself, as she was surrounded by darkness once again.\n\nThe next time Nikon was able to see, each group member seemed to be awakening, as if they too were tested, just as she was. A few seemed angry; others sad. Valerian merely looked nonplussed.\n\n\"You have all passed my tests.\"\n\nStanding within the chamber was a young fox-headed male humanoid with two tails sticking out from his robes. \"Welcome to Clan Oki'nathi. I am Gomi Oki'nathi, the Welcomer at the Gates. In order to meet my elders, you must pass their tests. But for now, I ask you all to enjoy the hospitality of my home that the clan has provided for you.\"\n\nNikon smiled. \"You are a kitsune?\"\n\nGomi smiled back. \"I am.\"\n\nNikon grabbed her camera and said, \"I am Nikon Procyos with National Geographic Explorer. May I photograph you? It is my current mission to photograph kitsune in their natural environment.\"\n\nGomi stepped back, unsheathed his Katanas, and took a stance in front of the large clan symbol on the chamber's rear wall.\n\nNikon smiled, clicking the camera a few times. She then put it away, quite happy, sitting down to talk with Gomi some more.\n\nValerian sat with his friends to the side, enjoying the comforts and food. \"I do not think Nikon will be satisfied with a two-tailed kitsune. This is just a flavoring for her appetite. It will become much more difficult from this point forth. I will not blame anyone for not wanting to go onward. I myself have to proceed, because I am hired to protect Ms. Procyos from harm.\"\n\nFelix said, \"We are with you, Valerian.\" Andros also nodded his head in agreement. Paul, Vard, Raeyu, Mark, and the Foo-Chings also agreed to continue where ever Valerian led them.\n\nValerian blushed, humbly saying, \"I thank you all for this support.\"\n\nMark Jolson said, \"I am getting the feeling that this photographer will have to be unwillingly rescued before this journey is over.\"\n\nValerian looked over at Nikon and Gomi as they continued talking. He just shook his head, and went to lie down. Before long, the candle's light grew dim and the teams slept.\n\nThe next morning, both teams ate breakfast and packed up their gear. Nikon looked pretty excited as she talked to the assembled group. \"Who all is up for meeting the elders?\"\n\nValerian just glanced up from his food, saying, \"Didn't I tell all of you she'd want to continue onward?\"\n\nNikon glared at Valerian. \"What do you mean by that?\"\n\nValerian finished his meal, then said, \"I knew a two-tailed kitsune would not be enough for you, Nikon. I prewarned my team that you would not be satisfied.\"\n\nGomi, who had been ignoring the group up until now, now spoke up. \"Is this true? You plan on seeing the elders?\"\n\nNikon answered promptly, \"Absolutely. I would love to meet them, just as I met you, Gomi.\"\n\nGomi sort of blanched. \"I do not think that is a good idea.\"\n\nValerian said, \"In other words, you were given orders to present yourself to the visitors, entertain us to the best of your ability, and see us out of the clan area when the morning arose.\"\n\nGomi blinked his eyes! \"How... how did you know?\"\n\nValerian smiled. \"I am a mage. I've been in this sort of situation before.\" He looked to Nikon. \"In short terms, we are not welcome here. They showed us hospitality, within reason, and would prefer we leave. Post haste.\"\n\nNikon placed both hands on her hips. \"You already know what I think. We go onward. I won't leave without the perfect picture.\"\n\nRaeyu spoke up at this moment. \"Gomi. As an ambassador of the dragons, is it possible for me, alone, to go see and speak to the elders, to explain our situation?\"\n\nGomi thought to himself before replying. \"Perhaps it would be alright. But only you. Because you're a dragon. The rest have to stay here until the matter is cleared with the elders.\"\n\nRaeyu looked to Valerian and Nikon. \"This is a delicate matter of both etiquette and protocol. They will listen to me because of my status as a dragon. They may not act upon such a meeting, but they will hear me out. Promise me that neither of you will cause unnecessary problems while I am gone.\"\n\nValerian readily made the promise.\n\nRaeyu glared at Nikon.\n\nNikon said, \"Oh, okay. I promise. But I won't leave without that one perfect picture.\"\n\nRaeyu looked to Gomi. \"Lead the way, hon Gomi Oki'nathi.\"\n\nGomi and Raeyu headed outside of the shrine building and were gone from sight. Nikon grumbled, reseating herself. Valerian stifled a chuckle and looked for more food.\n\nMost of the day passed and the night was settling in when Gomi and Raeyu returned. Gomi resumed his position without a word, while Raeyu gathered the group together.\n\n\"Here's the deal. The elders have agreed to meet with us. Under one condition.\"\n\nValerian asked, \"What's the condition?\"\n\nRaeyu frowned, \"No weapons, no surprises, and above all else, no magic.\"\n\nValerian cringed at that. \"That hurts.\"\n\nNikon asked, \"What do they mean by 'no surprises'? You 'did' explain why I want to meet with them, didn't you?\"\n\nRaeyu said, \"I told them why you were here. They are being cautious. And Valerian, they have a special request for you.\"\n\nValerian sighed, then said, \"This should be rich. What do they require of me?\"\n\nRaeyu said, \"One of the clan was captured by ruthless poachers. They want you to go rescue him. While you are gone, they will meet with Nikon. Otherwise, they will refuse to meet at all.\"\n\nValerian exclaimed, \"Oh great. So I am to go save one of their people. Who wants to come with me?\"\n\nRaeyu quickly spoke up. \"Um, Valerian. They said you have to go alone.\"\n\nValerian blinked his eyes! \"Alone? That IS an unusual request. Very well. That way my friends will not be in any danger that I would be in. Did they say where these poachers are camped?\"\n\n\"They said to give you this map.\" Raeyu handed Valerian a set of folded papers. \"The other paper is a description of the captured kitsune. You have three days to return with the kitsune. If you are not back by then, the team will suffer. Those are the conditions.\"\n\nValerian and Nikon both blinked their eyes!\n\nNikon growled, \"You mean we are their prisoners until Valerian gets back?\"\n\nRaeyu said, \"Honored guests for the next three days. Then, we will be tortured trespassers. May I again remind you all: we are not welcome here.\"\n\nNikon looked to Valerian. \"Can you do it?\"\n\nValerian replied, \"I hope so. I don't have much choice.\"\n\nValerian shifted his black cloak, pulling his hood over his head. He looked at Nikon. \"Duty calls, as usual. Go meet with your subjects. Rescuing people falls under the title of preserving the reputation of the local mages in the country I happen to be visiting.\" He turned to Raeyu, whispering something, then headed out without another word.\n\nNikon watched him go, then looked at Raeyu. \"What did he say?\"\n\nRaeyu replied, \"Simple stuff. He asked me to look after the rest of you.\" Raeyu then gathered everyone, packed up the gear, and everyone followed Gomi deeper into the Clan Oki'nathi village.\n\nSoon, Nikon and the others were standing before the celestial court of the Oki'nathi Elders. Both male and female kitsune, sporting multiple tails, from three to eight tails. Styles of clothing varied according to the number of tails that a kitsune had. Gender alone tended not to dictate better council positions over others of the court, and after a few preliminary introductions, Nikon herself was presented to the eight-tailed council lord elder.\n\nThe kitsune lord spoke with a heavy accent, \"You are the one who seeks to present proof of our existence to the world?\"\n\nNikon straightened up, replying, \"I am Nikon Procyos with the National Geographic Explorer and I was given an assignment to document and photograph kitsunes in their natural environment. I mean no ill-will or harm to your clan and only seek to succeed in my assigned task.\"\n\nThe kitsune lord tilted his head a bit, then said, \"You may call me Kwan'ti Oki'nathi. Your request is not unheard of, but on the border of impossibility. If you reveal to the world of our existence, our clan will become endangered by any hunters who read your article. You, yourself, wish us no ill-health, but the after effect of your assignment will cause us great grief. How can you succeed if our own livelyhood is endangered by your being here?\"\n\nNikon replied with a predecided answer, \"I can omit the location of where the clan was located. It would not be the truth, but your clan's home location would remain safe.\"\n\nKwan'ti leaned forward a bit and whispered. \"If you can pass eight more challenges decided by our kind, our clan will grant you your request and allow you to photgraph and document our clan. Should you fail, you and your group will never be seen again. Do you agree to this?\"\n\nNikon blinked at this, glancing over her shoulder at Raeyu. He almost non-existantly nodded his head. Nikon turned to Kwan'ti and replied, \"I will take your challenges.\"\n\nSoon, Nikon and Kwan'ti were standing in a clearing. A large circle of red hot coals were positioned in the middle of the clearing. A five-tailed kitsune was on the other side near a table covered in foods and drinks. Kwan'ti instructed Nikon to remove her shoes and socks.\n\nNikon did so.\n\nKwan'ti gave Nikon a large platter, then explained, \"You will carry this platter to the other side. The other kitsune will place something on the tray. You then carry it back to me. If it is food, it must remain on the tray. If it is a drink, you cannot spill a drop. Do you understand?\"\n\nNikon nodded her head.\n\nKwan'ti also nodded his head, and said, \"Begin.\"\n\nNikon took a deep breath and headed across the coals. It was immediately painful and she felt the heat upon her as it blistered her feet. She got to the other side, where the other kitsune placed an unbroken egg on the platter. Nikon growled silently, but turned carefully, bringing the egg back to Kwan'ti.\n\nHe nodded his head, \"Again.\"\n\nNikon headed back across, and this time, a tall glass of fruit drink was placed on the platter. She turned carefully, and again, cautiously brought it back to Kwan'ti.\n\nHe took it, then said, \"Again.\"\n\nNikon mentally growled, but went back across again. Once across, the lithe kitsune placed herself on the platter. Nikon almost complained, but didn't give any of the kitsune that pleasure. She carefully recrossed the coals again, and let the kitsune off the platter carefully.\n\nKwan'ti nodded his head. \"Good. We are done for today. One of our healers will see to your blistered feet. Tomorrow, you will have another challenge.\"\n\nThe three re-entered the village.\n\nSometime later, Nikon was lying in bed; her feet wrapped in bandages.\n\nKara Foo-Ching brought Nikon some food and drink. \"Why are you doing this? This assignment cannot be so important that you are willing to risk bodily harm to yourself to succeed.\"\n\nNikon sat up and drank some of the fruit drink. \"I will not back down from these challenges. Especially, seeing as how the reward is the willing cooperation of the kitsune for my assignment. I must persevere no matter what. Besides, if Valerian gets back in time with the other kitsune, they will most likely become more open to giving me what I desire.\"\n\nKara smiled. \"Mouse-san is a good man. He will succeed on his end, but he would be greatly disappointed if those he traveled with backed out on an agreed set of challenges. If you are hoping his return will help your bargaining position, you are sadly mistaken. He will readily side with the kitsune and ask that you complete what you agreed to complete.\"\n\nNikon sighed. \"You know him well, do you?\"\n\nKara said, \"My husband and I have known him and his parents for several years. He always does as he says he will do. What he does now is a matter of honor and for the betterment of the mages that he is a member of.\"\n\nNikon ate some food, and drank the rest of her drink. \"So, I'm stuck with what I agreed to.\"\n\nKara replied, \"I am afraid so. You gave your word.\"\n\nNikon lay back and closed her eyes.\n\nThe night passed.\n\nThe next morning proved to be a very wet morning. The downpour of rain was torrentual. Fortunately, Nikon's challenge for this day took place inside a dry room of the temple.\n\nKwan'ti said, \"Before you are nine puzzle boxes. They are lined up in the order from very easy to extremely challenging. You must solve each one. When you are finished, you return to this door and pull on this rope. If you have not completed every puzzle when you pull the rope, you lose. Are you prepared?\"\n\nNikon nodded her head, and Kwan'ti had some kitsune lay out a bedroll and blankets. He then said, \"We will return when you pull the rope.\" The kitsune all left the chamber as Nikon began to concentrate on the first puzzle. She turned her head sharply when she saw the stone door being pushed into place, sealing her within the temple room. At first she panicked and almost rushed the door. She was very tempted to pull the rope, but she stopped herself. (That is what they want me to do.) Nikon returned to the first puzzle box and seated herself quietly. She concentrated again on solving the boxes.\n\nSeveral days passed while Nikon was in the room solving the puzzle boxes. She was very exhausted, working on the last puzzle box.\n\nOutside the temple, Valerian had returned with the kitsune scout. The young kitsune uninjured, while Valerian, having sustained many injuries (one from the kitsune he went to rescue), painfully knelt before the kitsune elders.\n\nThe younger kitsune told his story of how the mage came to his rescue and of how he had attacked the mage, mistaking Valerian for one of the poachers.\n\nKwan'ti walked over to Valerian, kneeling to inspect the arm bitten savagely by the younger kitsune's sharp fangs. Kwan'ti helped Valerian to the healer's home, where Valerian was taken care of.\n\nValerian was told by Kara of how Nikon had agreed to accept eight other challenges for the reward of gaining her pictures and story. Valerian merely nodded his head, then drifted off to sleep, having succumb to the herbal mixture that the healer had given him.\n\nKara returned to everyone else, explaining, \"Valerian is being treated for his injuries. Bear with me, but I have a suggestion. We do not tell Nikon that Valerian has returned and allow her to keep her word to do these challenges, although we do give her encouragement so she will want to continue. Do we agree on this?\"\n\nRaeyu said, \"I must agree with this plan of action. Should Nikon learn that Valerian has returned, she would most likely try to weasel herself out of the rest of the challenges. And so long as Nikon continues to do the challenges, we will remain as unmolested guests.\"\n\nThey all agreed to keep quiet, convincing the remaining camera crew to keep quiet as well.\n\nNikon yawned tiredly as she finally solved the last puzzle. She smiled, triumphantly having beaten the extremely challenging puzzle box. She gazed around the chamber and double checked all of her work. Then, she headed slowly over to the rope, pulling it firmly. A few moments later, the stone door slid open, and Kwan'ti (who by now had been informed of the plan to keep Nikon from knowing that Valerian had returned) entered to examine all of the puzzle boxes.\n\nNikon followed him around slowly, watching him examine each solved puzzle box.\n\nKwan'ti looked to Nikon, and said, \"Impressive. Every puzzle box is solved. Tomorrow is another day with another challenge. Return to your friends, get cleaned up, have a meal, and get some rest.\"\n\nNikon smiled triumphantly as she emerged from the room, heading back to the guest quarters. She got into the guest room, where everyone gave her encouragement. Then, Nikon headed to the bathing chamber. After taking a long quiet bath, she redressed herself and joined the others for a meal. She told them about the puzzle boxes and the intricate tricks invented to thwart her attempts to solve them. Then, they all attended a kitsune theater.\n\nNikon finally yawned, heading off to bed. She was asleep very quickly, and slept the rest of the day and night.\n\nKwan'ti led Nikon to another chamber during the mid-afternoon of the next day. There was a huge pool of deep water here. Another male three-tailed kitsune stood next to the pool with a table with three golden rings upon it. Each ring was a different size. 1/2 inch circle, 2 inch circle, and an 8 inch circle. Each ring had a little weight equalling an amount of ounces equal to their circle size. Kwan'ti nodded to the other kitsune, who respectively bowed back, picking up all three rings and tossing them into separate spots of the pool.\n\nKwan'ti said, \"Today's challenge is simple. Retrieve the rings.\"\n\nNikon blinked her eyes. \"That's it? What's the catch?\"\n\nKwan'ti said, \"You'll get wet.\" Kwan'ti and the other kitsune left the chamber.\n\nNikon blinked her eyes again. (This just seems too easy.) She undressed and dove into the pool. She quickly spotted the largest ring, retrieving it. She returned to the surface, placing the ring with her clothes. She dove back in and searched for the next ring. She luckily found the smallest ring next. She brought it back to the surface, placing it with her clothes. She smiled. (That would've been a hard one to find. That kitsune tossed the last one in that direction.) Nikon dove back in a third time, finally locating the last ring. When she grabbed for it, she barely avoided being bitten by a water snake. She quickly grabbed the ring and thrusted herself back to the surface quickly. She was out of the water as fast as possible.\n\n(Geez! So, THAT was the challenge. Well, I guess I was lucky to not get bitten.)\n\nNikon dried off, redressed, picking up all three rings. She then took them to Kwan'ti.\n\nKwan'ti accepted the rings. \"Well done. Go get some rest. Tomorrow is another day with another challenge.\"\n\nNikon returned to her room and lay back on the bed. She thought about the challenges, then fell asleep. Another night passes quietly.\n\nThe next morning, after a filling breakfast, Nikon was led up to a nearby mountain top.\n\nKwan'ti smiled. \"You can always refuse to do this.\"\n\nNikon placed her hands on her hips. \"What is the next challenge?\"\n\nKwan'ti and the three-tailed kitsune from the day before lifted a crude hang-glider and Nikon was strapped into it.\n\nNikon looked puzzled, but complied.\n\nKwan'ti said, \"Today you fly. Go from here to the other mountain top. Take this pouch to the kitsune that await on that mountain. They will give you a pouch to return. You bring it back here. That is your challenge for today.\"\n\nNikon tested the wind and checked the hang-glider. She nodded her head, then leaped off the cliff. It took her a few moments to get the glider to do as she liked, but she eventually made it to the other mountain top. When she arrived, she saw another clan of kitsune gathered there.\n\nTheir clan elder, Chaen'fri Johng'li, received the pouch, handing it off to another kitsune elder. Then, he handed Nikon another pouch; this one a bit heavier. Nikon nodded politely, and with a smile, she leapt into the air again. The return trip proved a bit more difficult, as the wind was now against her. But after much fighting, Nikon prevailed against the weather and landed back on the Oki'nathi mountain.\n\nNikon handed the larger pouch to Kwan'ti and released a sigh of relief.\n\nKwan'ti opened the pouch, then closed it. He smiled to Nikon. \"Well done.\"\n\nTogether, they returned to the village.\n\nNikon returned to the guest room and collapsed on her bed. \"Is it really worth it to do all these things?\"\n\nAndros Fox and Mark Jolson were standing in the doorway.\n\nMark said, \"Giving up so soon? You conquered over half the challenges. Only four more to go.\"\n\nNikon looked up and smiled a bit. \"I have conquered darkness, fire, wisdom, water, and today, air. Only four more to go. What will be next?\"\n\nAndros said, \"Well, it sounds like their testing you with the known elements. I would assume that you will have to succeed against light, earth, mental strength, and the unknown in order to pass their challenges.\"\n\nNikon blinked her eyes. \"How would you know that?\"\n\nMark said, \"They have not been secret about it. Ask and you shall receive.\"\n\nNikon nodded her head again and lay back on her bed.\n\nAndros and Mark headed off to do other things.\n\nLater that night, Nikon joined everyone for a meal, then returned to her room and slept deeply.\n\nAfter breakfast the next day, Nikon was blindfolded, given a tapping stick and positioned just inside the entrance of a chamber.\n\nKwan'ti instructed her. \"You are in the Intestines of Gaea. You must go from here to the other side of the chamber. You must never remove the blindfold, or you will lose and be punished by being blinded in reality. Understand?\"\n\nNikon nodded her head, as she heard the stone door close behind her. Almost at the same time, she heard another door open on the other side of the 'intestines'. Nikon begins tapping her way around, much like a blind begger on the streets of Cairo. She, however, had a huge advantage to pulling off this challenge. She knew the secret of looking down her nose, and did so to see the earthen ground of the corridors of this testing area. Not only did she see the ground, but she saw the bones of the others who came this way before her. For effect, she continued to tap with her stick as she made her way through the 'intestines'. After encountering many dead ends, Nikon eventually rounded the last corner, exiting the chamber, walking directly into Kwan'ti.\n\nHe stopped Nikon and removed her blindfold.\n\nNikon blinked a few times as the brilliant light of this chamber stung her eyes.\n\nKwan'ti said, \"Find the next exit. That is your challenge.\"\n\nHe released Nikon, and she suddenly was nearly blinded by the brilliant light of the chamber. Nikon stumbled around aimlessly for several hours. Then, she located the other exit, opening the door, sliding through.\n\nKwan'ti was awaiting her there. He firmly closed the door, then led Nikon back to her room. He helped her to her bed, saying, \"Tomorrow is another day with another challenge.\" He left the room.\n\nNikon lay there with her eyes closed tight resting her feet and trying to regain enough ability to see properly. After two hours, she awakened and joined the others for another filling meal. Everyone seemed quite impressed with how far Nikon has progressed these past few days.\n\nAnother performance of the kitsune theater entertained everyone, then Nikon headed back to bed, once again. She lay down again and fell asleep immediately.\n\nNikon was awakened suddenly. She was immobile, as if magically held in place, not being able to see, yet her voice was fully functional. \"What the?\"\n\nA kitsune voice asked, \"Name yourself.\"\n\nNikon tried to struggle vainly. \"What's going on?\"\n\nThe kitsune voice reasked, \"Name yourself.\"\n\nNikon thought to herself. (This must be the next challenge.) She answered, \"I am Nikon Procyos with the National Geographic Explorer.\"\n\nThe kitsune voice asked, \"Your purpose.\"\n\nNikon answered, \"I was given an assignment to document and photograph kitsunes in their natural environment.\"\n\nThe kitsune voice asked, \"Why did you ask the mage to accompany you?\"\n\nNikon answered, \"He was referred to me as the best possible protection against anyone or anything pertaining to the supernatural.\"\n\nThe kitsune voice asked, \"Did you not create this assignment yourself as a ploy to force your employer to give you authority to document something for which there was no pliable truth to before?\"\n\nNikon gulped. She thought to herself. (How did they know that?) It was true that she had lied to create this assignment and created vague facts that would fool most laymen in the field. Feeling very ashamed suddenly, she answered, \"Yes. I made up this assignment so I could gain a promotion, a pay increase, with NGE.\"\n\nThe kitsune voice asked, \"How will you atone for the deaths of the two photgraphers who died on this bogus assignment?\"\n\nNikon remembered the two men who were no longer with them. She felt crestfallen and answered, \"I will turn myself over to the authorities upon my return to the United States. My actions forced people to accompany us who did not deserve to die. I am solely to blame.\"\n\nThe kitsune voice said, \"Return to sleep. When the morning arrives, you will begin your last challenge.\"\n\nNikon immediately passed out.\n\nUpon awakening the next morning in a very startled motion, she saw Valerian standing there with Kwan'ti. Kwan'ti showed no emotion at all, but Valerian looked very upset.\n\n\"You lied to me.\" Valerian stated, matter of factly.\n\nNikon blinked her eyes. \"What do you mean?\"\n\nValerian folded his arms over his chest. \"Kwan'ti asked me to aid him in that last challenge. My job was to magically immobilize you so you couldn't move, but allowing you to answer questions easily. I heard every word you said. You deliberately used me and my people for your own selfish gains. What do you have to say?\"\n\nNikon blinked her eyes again. \"Valerian, I...\" She stopped and realized that Valerian had heard everything, and there was no way to cover up anything further. \"You are right. I lied and I used you. My apologizing will not heal hurt feelings.\"\n\nValerian unfolded his arms, \"If Kwan'ti hadn't told me what the final challenge was, I'd kill you myself.\" He looked to Kwan'ti. \"She's all yours. I'll be in my chambers. Call me if you need me to do anything else.\" Valerian headed off without another word.\n\nNikon looked up at Kwan'ti. \"Why should I bother completing the challenges? You know that the assignment is a false one.\"\n\nKwan'ti said, \"You may have lied to get here, but after your arrival, you have not lied once. There is one challenge left. If you succeed, you will redeem yourself, not only in your own eyes, but in your heart, as well. If you fail, no one will know what happened to you. You are here, and must enter the last challenge. The challenge of the unknown.\"\n\nNikon blinked her eyes! \"The unknown?\"\n\nKwan'ti nodded his head. \"As Valerian said, if this last challenge wasn't so dangerous, he'd kill you himself. You must enter the challenge. The reward will be what you have asked for. What you do with the reward is your business. But you will be redeemed.\"\n\nNikon nodded her head, sighing. \"Very well. What must I do?\"\n\nKwan'ti led Nikon to a chamber with an open roof. All around the upper balconies, Nikon saw other kitsune and the people of the groups she had arrived with. In the center of the chamber stood a tall, wide black-surfaced mirror. Nikon was pushed into the chamber and the barred door closed behind her.\n\nKwan'ti said, \"You must defeat the unknown monster you encounter in this arena. If you fail, you will never be seen again. Good luck.\"\n\nNikon walked around the arena, then slowly approached the mirror in the center of the chamber. When she approached the mirror, the reflection she sees was not what she expected to see. It was a monstrous beast with a camera in one paw and a Katana in the other paw. The beast appeared to be a tanuki in appearance, but of the worst possible combinations.\n\nAs Nikon stared at the reflection, it snarled back at her. \"I am Nikon Procyos. I will backstab and intimidate you to get what I want. Let me destroy your culture by taking your picture and smearing it in the faces of the world. Friendship means nothing to me, as long as I come out on top. I am the real Nikon.\"\n\nIn the next instant, Nikon found herself inside the mirror facing the beast. It laughed evilly and swung the Katana at her. Nikon dodged the blow, kicking at the beast's leg. As she connected, it felt as if she has stabbed herself in the leg, right where she had kicked the beast. The beast howled in pleasure. Nikon dropped back holding her leg. She blinked her eyes and thought, (This beast said she was the real me. If I lose, I will be nothing but a faded reflection in a mirror. I know what to do now.)\n\nThe beast swung the Katana at Nikon again. This time, Nikon stood in place with her eyes closed and allowed the blade to fully strike her. She heard the dying howl of the beast, and the sound of the mirror shattering.\n\nNikon opened her eyes, seeing the broken mirror, a Katana, and a camera. She reached over and picked up the Katana. \"I do not deserve this assignment.\" She placed the Katana's blade point to her chest and pushed it in deeply.\n\nAbout a week later, Nikon awoke on a bed. She looked around at the empty room, listening to the surrounding festive sounds. A seven-tailed kitsune female entered, laying out some kimono robes and sandles. Nikon looked at her and asked, \"What is happening?\"\n\nThe kitsune lady replied, \"The clan elders have decided to honor your request.\"\n\nNikon sighed. \"Why? I am dispicable.\" She looked herself over. \"How come I'm not dead?\"\n\nThe kitsune lady smiled. \"You are not dead because you never died. You've been asleep ever since Gomi gave you the entrance test to enter our village.\"\n\nNikon blinked her eyes! \"Asleep! Then it was all a dream?\"\n\nThe kitsune lady again smiled. \"The world of kitsune is one of dreams and illusions. Who are we, the shadows of the past, to question what is real and what is not real.\" She pointed to the kimono, \"Put this on. The elders wish to see you and your friends.\"\n\nNikon got up, dressing herself in the kimono and sandals. Then, she and the kitsune attended the courtly gathering. It was indeed very festive. Nikon was afraid to ask anyone about the events of the last few weeks. When she saw Valerian conversing with a nine-tailed kitsune mage, she did not interupt. Instead, she enjoyed herself.\n\nOver the next few days, Nikon photographed the kitsune people in their everyday life. She interviewed them using tape recorders and video cameras.\n\nAt the end of the week, both groups bid a fond farewell to the Oki'nathi Clan. The groups were escorted back to the edge of the city they had started in. Valerian checked in with the local mage again, dropping off important documents.\n\nMuch later, after a few days of sight-seeing in Calcutta, India, both groups were heading home aboard the private jet.\n\nNikon was very quiet, remembering everything that had happened to her.\n\nValerian came over and sat next to her, his arm in a sling. \"Thousand dollars for your thoughts.\"\n\nNikon looked up at Valerian. \"I am surprised you are talking to me.\"\n\nValerian looked around, then whispered, \"Regardless of what you remember, just remember this: the world we just visited is one of dreams and illusions. Don't be surprised if you discover an assignment you didn't think to pursue before.\" Valerian smiled, indicating his arm. \"This injury never happened. If you're smart, you will agree that a lot of this trip never happened.\"\n\nNikon blinked her eyes! \"If this trip didn't happen, then how did you get injured?\"\n\nValerian smiled. \"Poachers wounded me and you broke the story. You alerted the local authorities to the evil men who were hunting endangered species in the Orient.\"\n\nNikon turned her head, watching the ocean pass by as the private jet rocketed back to Seattle. When they arrived, Nikon was surprised to see the two men she thought dead, alive and awaiting the passengers at the airport. Again, she did not question. The two groups then separated.\n\nBefore Valerian could get away, Nikon caught up with him and asked, \"What will you do next?\"\n\nValerian smiled, \"I think I'll go join a carnival for a while.\"\n\nWhen Nikon returned to the National Geographic offices, she was surprised to learn that all of the photos and video tapes, contained shots and imagery of the poacher's operations. All the recorded tapes had interviews with public authorities of India and China. Both men who supposedly died swore they had never accompanied the group to the Orient. Nikon was given her promotion and a pay raise. But she did not seem happy to receive it.\n\nSome days later, Nikon received a large brown parcel from India. Within the envelope, there was a small painting of herself and Gomi Oki'nathi standing in front of a swirling pool with three golden rings floating above the waters. The enclosed letter read: \"Nikon, thank you for a wonderful time. I hope we can see each other again. Signed, Gomi Oki'nathi\"\n\nNikon smiled as she placed the small painting deep inside her safe. As she was locking the safe, she said to the air itself, \"The world of kitsune is one of dreams and illusions. Who are we, the shadows of the past, to question what is real and what is not real.\"\n\nBack at the Mystic Citadel, Andros was conducting a room to room search.\n\nRaeyu noticed the activity and asked, \"What in the world are you doing?\"\n\nAndros replied, \"I am looking for Valerian, of course. Felix and I are planning something and I wanted to break the news to Valerian. Except I can't find him.\"\n\nRaeyu nodded his head and patted Andros' shoulder. \"Valerian was invited by a traveling carnival to host a Tent of Mystery in Kentucky. He won't be back for a few weeks. He is using the time to allow his injured arm to heal. What were you going to tell him? Perhaps if you told me, I could rate what his reaction to the news might be.\"\n\nAndros sighed, then looked Raeyu square in the eye and said, \"Felix and I are planning on moving out of the Mystic Citadel. We think it's time we found our own way in the world. We were both considering attending college at the University of Florida, where the other furries are being allowed.\"\n\nRaeyu then frowned. \"I see. I can honestly say that if you and your friend simply sneak away while Valerian is gone, he will think that you hate him. You both have been his friends for a very long time. And I highly suggest that you tell him in a reserved manner the next time you are all together. You do remember how he feels about you both, I hope.\"\n\nAndros nodded his muzzle in reply. \"Yes, I do remember. But he seems to like Felix more than me as of late, and because Felix and I are mated, I find that I am easily jealous of Valerian's actions. I know I shouldn't be. But this is how I feel.\"\n\nRaeyu hummed. \"Perhaps your plan is for the best, then. But I know for a fact that Valerian's biggest fear is that you and Felix will decide that you don't like your new furry forms and will want out of it. And if you are both no longer here... getting changed into anything else would be very difficult indeed. But if you truly feel that you must both move onwards with your lives, then perhaps now is the time to make the plans for doing it. You both will be missed, of course.\"\n\nAndros sighed again. \"I just hope what Felix and I are planning is a good idea. I don't want Valerian to be worried sick about us after we are gone.\"\n\nRaeyu gave the wolf furry a gentle hug. \"Stay true to your heart and don't worry so much about Valerian. I will be here for him. As will the others who are in the citadel. And perhaps newer people who have yet to arrive.\"\n\nAndros then smiled. \"I am glad you will be here for him. I know you're a dragon, Raeyu, but perhaps you are one of the few people who I would trust to keep Valerian sane in our absence.\"\n\nRaeyu grinned at that point. \"We are dragons, you know. Or am I simply an illusion?\" He winked with a laugh.\n\nSan Francisco, California. The China Town district.\n\nNikon smiled as she walked into the Foo-Ching Martial Arts Studio and looked around. She didn't have her camera with her, for a change, but she wasn't there to take pictures.\n\nKara Foo-Ching noticed Nikon entering and walked over with a smile of her own. \"Nikon. Welcome to China Town. This is pleasant surprise. What brings you to our humble home today?\"\n\nNikon shook Kara's hand, then said, \"I would like to take some martial arts lessons... um... Kitsu style, if possible.\"\n\nKara nodded her head. \"I know what you are implying, Nikon. They impressed you, didn't they?\"\n\nNikon arched an eye. \"Valerian told me that a lot of the trip didn't happen. Why are you still acknowledging that it did?\"\n\nKara led Nikon into the Foo-Ching's personal quarters and seated them both at the kitchen table. \"In a world of illusions and mirrors, there is a public life and a private life, Nikon. Publicly, you never met any kitsune. You defeated a group of ruthless poachers. Privately, however, you met the clan, took their tests, succeeded, and yes, fell in love with Gomi Oki'nathi. And yes, I could tell that he had turned your eye, Nikon. I am a married woman, you know. I know that look.\"\n\nAt that moment, Lou emerged from the pantry and hugged Kara gently. \"And I am glad she does know that look. She keeps me in line, you know.\" He winked, then turned to work on a meal.\n\nNikon chuckled. \"Yes, Gomi is special. I do love him. He sent me a framed picture of us in front of the golden ring pool. He said that he had a wonderful time. And he wanted to see me again someday.\"\n\nKara nodded her head. \"And you want to be ready. So you came to me to ask for martial arts lessons. I think we can get you set up. I don't have any current classes to attend to for a good long while and it is always nice to have another female around the studio.\"\n\nNikon started to pull out her purse, but Kara stopped her and shook her head with a smile. Nikon then asked, \"I can pay for the lessons, Kara. Don't you want it?\"\n\nLou grinned over his shoulder. \"You are a friend, Nikon. And we are doing very well, currently. We cannot take your money. We are simply happy knowing that you are a very good friend who cares about a very special kitsune.\"\n\nKara giggled. \"Lou is right, Nikon. I know we don't look like it, but like Valerian, we are independently wealthy. We choose to live the way we live. It is yet another illusion that we present to the world. The public Foo-Chings and the private Foo-Chings. We all have two sides, Nikon, as you, yourself, have two sides. For Gomi's sake, simply accept what life is giving you and continue with your plans.\"\n\nNikon smiled. \"Thank you, Kara. I won't forget.\"\n\nKara then stood up with a grin. \"Now, shall we get you started in those martial arts lessons?\"\n\nNikon also stood up. \"Ok, but take it easy on me at first. I don't want to break any mirrors.\" She winked.\n\n\\\\End of Episode Five - Illusions & Mirrors\n\nStay tuned for Episode Six - S'taur Gazing\\\\\n\nFootnotes: (F1) Dragon from Episode 4, To Dream of Dragons.

She stood next to my bed, dressed in nothing but a bathing suit.\n\"You fell asleep, silly,\" she whispered, pushing the hair out of my eyes. I got up, threw some jeans and a shirt on, and the two of us tiptoed out of the dark barracks. We crept through the cabin of sleeping guys until we came to the screen door. We carefully opened and shut the screen door and rushed off down the trail, feeling the cool night air on our bodies.\nWe ran to the activity field, and ran all the way to the airbag. The airbag was one of the coolest things in the camp. It was right next to the lake, so when somebody jumped on it, the other person flew into the water. It was a highly subscribed activity, and often people came at nights to use it. But we were here for something different.\nWe sat down panting on the cool grass under the dock, and watched the fireflies buzz over the lake, holding each other tight.\n\"I had a dream,\" I said, running my hand through her hair, \"and it was so awesome.\"\n\"Hmm?\" Amy said, looking at me. \"What was it about?\"\nI told her. She had been so big, like a blimp, bloated like a cow, and she was on her back and unable to get up. Her belly had been the size of a golf cart, and her boobs like giant beach balls. I was there, rubbing her all over, while she moaned and shook her boobs for me.\n\"Then you came,\" I said, \"and woke me up.\"\nShe looked at me, smiling. \"You know, we can have a change of plans.\" I looked at her, and she got up and walked over to the airbag. \"You fill it up, and then you can pump me up to your heart's content.\"\n\"That sounds awesome,\" I said, feeling a stirring in my loins. She noticed, and said, \"I bet it will make it even better.\"\n\"Oh, yeah,\" I agreed, and walked over to the airbag and found the pump. It was deflated, so we had to wait for it to blow up. Amy came over to me and gave me a hug. She was a short girl, and her blond hair gleamed in the moonlight. \"I can't wait to be your big sexy toy,\" she said, accenting her words with some lavish lip sucking. I looked down at her, into her big green eyes, but then looked down further to see her boobs. They were round and firm, and packed tightly into the top. She noticed, and smiled, and said, \"Perv!\" Then Amy stepped back, hands squishing her boobs inside her shirt. \"Oh, god, this is gonna be so hot!\"\nWhen the airbag was filled, Amy strutted over to the airbag and found where the pump was. She poked the airbag, and satisfied with how full it was, unplugged the tube from the pump and stuck it in her mouth. Immediately, the bag deflated some, trying to find equilibrium with it's new outlet. She sucked down the air, and I stuck my hands into my underwear. Her eyes squinted seductively as her body ballooned, swelling immensely.\nWhen she reached equilibrium, she took out the hose and plugged it. She stood, and I had to make a mental effort to not start masturbating there. Her big boobs now strained the bikini top, her voluminous breasts twice the size they were before. Her belly stuck out from her body like a little half-moon, the little bit of sexy pudge at the base of her stomach disappeared into her swollen mass.\n\"Oooo,\" Amy exclaimed, massaging her big breast and round tummy. \"I'm gonna be enormous with all that air in me.\" Then she put the hose back in her mouth and rubbed the half-deflated bag of air. I walked over to the airbag and looked at Amy, who smiled back at me, and pressed down lightly on the airbag. The air squeezed out of it and into her, and I stood agape as her tummy and breasts expanded and swelled. Her eyes fluttered as the influx of air caused her to get bigger and bigger with a tiny stretching sound.\nWhen the airbag was empty, she burped and smiled at me. Her breasts were as big as cantelopes, and I could imagine they were just about as juicy. Her belly was about the size of an exercise ball, and now was hard to the touch like a snare drum. Her butt had also gotten bigger, too, her butt cheeks having grown to the size of frisbees, and were plump and stiff. I looked at her glorious beauty, and I walked toward her as if in a dream. I laid my head on her air-filled stomach, hearing the creaking sounds inside of her great belly. I walked behind her and knelt, staring longingly at her beautiful rear. I leaned forward and licked the enormous cheek, then using my hands to try to move the two stiff blobs toward each other, and then just poking them like one might poke jello, dying as she giggled. I stood and reached around her, and took hold of her breasts, pulling down the bikini top to reveal her beauty. They were two big orbs of air, and I squeezed the udder-sized jugs, feeling the squishing of her milk. Amy leaned back, her generous cleavage becoming more evident and kissed my neck, and leaned down for a true French kiss. When we separated, I started the pump again and the two of us sat down, and I laid my head on her big boobs.\n\"How does it feel?\" I asked, licking the soft fleshy ball.\n\"Ohhhh,\" Amy moaned, \"it feels wonderful. I can feel pressure inside of me, and I feel as big as a house. My tummy is so big! I wish I could stay this way forever.\" I helped her up and we went back over to the airbag, which had reinflated. Amy put the tube in her mouth, and I laid down on the airbag, and she puffed like a hot-air balloon. I felt a tingling sensation in my body, and I shook, unable to control the pure ecstasy I felt.\nEventually, the bag ran out of air, and I lay on the ground, shaking in rapture. Amy walked over to me, and sat down on me, and I felt as though I'd died and went to heaven. Her soft ass was like a big smooth pillow, and I could feel the warmth of her expanded skin on my body. Her belly was pressing against my face, and I licked it vigorously, feeling the tight creaking pressure inside of her on my tongue. Her belly was so big and wide that I could not reach her boobs.\n\"I can't reach your boobs,\" I said, rubbing her side as supplement.\n\"I can fix that,\" Amy said, and she stood. I stared at the immense underside of her growth, rubbing it with my hand, slowly edging toward her soft groin. Amy giggled, but then lay down on top of me, and I knew one thing for sure: I had died, I was in heaven, and angels in heaven were crazy sexy girls with enormous bellies and breasts who loved me. Her big belly was tight like a full balloon, but it squished out over me. Her naked breasts hung down in my face, and I licked around her big areola's and nipples, sucking on the teat. Amy squeezed her boob, and I felt her milk squirt into my mouth. I patted her big side, and I shook, and I felt something hot run down my pants.\n\"Oh crap,\" I said, embarassed. Amy laughed, and squeexed enormous tits against my head, smothering me. I licked as fast as I could, rubbing her distended side as it bulged out over me. She giggled, taking my hand and using it to massage her bloated tummy.\nI looked at her, peeking out from her swollen breasts, and whispered, voice shaking, \"Is this a dream?\"\nShe looked at me, smiling with the face of a goddess, and said, \"Yes. This is the best kind of dream.\" She leaned in close to my face, and I could feel the heat from her breath on my ear, as she added, \"The kind of dream we can share.\"\nThen I passed out.\n" } ]

Name ONE human girl in the Sonic series!\n\nAlec: Maria Robotnik, Princess Elise III, Helen from Sonic X, Princess Sara Freedom... May I go on?\n\nMario: ....\n\nAlec: That's what I thought. Moving on!\n\nTaiga: \\runs back on-stage\\ Sorry for the wait. ^^\"\n\nKira: \\whispers to Alec\\ What are we going to do? We were going to interview Mario and Luigi, but what about Peach and Bowser?\n\nAlec: \\Starts thinking\\\n\nKira: Well...?\n\nAlec: \\looks at Bowser\\ Hey Koopa, ever wanted to get with a lioness?\n\nKira: What?!\n\nTaiga: Hey wait a minute!\n\nAlec: \\looks at Taiga\\ Don't you want to get with Peach one last time for the memories?\n\nAll four of them: .........\n\n\\all four of them quickly walk off-stage\\\n\nAlec: .... \\sighs\\ Furries.\n\nMario: Does that happen a lot?\n\nAlec: Only on Saturdays. Anyway, let's get this over with. So Mario, tell me when you got started.\n\nMario: Well I guess it all started back when--\n\nLuigi: Hold on. I still say that I should get the next question. I am not just a damn standby. I'm not a stunt double. I am an actual Mario bother! Otherwise, I wouldn't still be here. So I still say that--\n\nAlec & Mario: Shut up!\n\nLuigi: Make me!\n\nAlec: \\smirks wide\\\n\nLuigi: .... I'll be good now.\n\nAlec: Good boy. Now then Mario, what were you saying?\n\nMario: Well, as you should know, my original name was \"Mr. Video\", and I was to be used in all kinds of video games that Miyamoto developed.\n\nAlec: And it says that you used to also be known as \"Jumpman\" when you debuted in the arcade game Donkey Kong.\n\nMario: It was a VERY dull and uncreative day.\n\nAlec: Welcome to Japan?\n\nAll: ... \\bursts out laughing\\\n\nAlec: Okay, anyway, it says that you were a carpenter that mistreated an ape--\n\nMario: That is a lie!\n\nAlec: .... And because of it, the ape, known as Donkey Kong, thus became your main enemy.\n\nMario: Another lie! He became my enemy because he stole Lady!\n\nAlec: \\stands out of his seat and points at Mario with his other paw slammed on the table\\ OBJECTION!!!\n\nMario: On what grounds!?\n\nAlec: What evidence do you have that you aren't the one that abused and beaten DK!?\n\nMario: Simple! I was a carpenter back then! What would I need an ape for!?\n\nAlec: You'd be surprised how useful a little ape is... with four hands and a tail!\n\nMario: Urk!\n\nAlec: So admit it! You abused DK and turned him into the bad guy!\n\nLuigi: \\suddenly runs between the middle of them while wearing a green attorney suit instead of his normal clothing\\ HOLD IT!!!\n\nAlec: Wait what?\n\nLuigi: My brother would never abuse DK!\n\nAlec: And what evidence do you have on such a thing!?\n\nTaiga: Hold on! \\runs into the room while wearing the clothes of a judge and holding a gavel\\ Okay! The judge is here! \\stands behind a counter\\ You may continue with your claim!\n\nAlec: Wait... what?!\n\nLuigi: \\places a briefcase on the table in front of them\\ If you recall the case OF Mario's rocketing career, there was a meeting that day to go through some interesting details. The meeting being on--\n\nAlec: OBJECTION!!! That meeting has no connection to the case whatsoever, you are merely talking about how his career took forth!\n\nLuigi: I will prove to you and everyone here, if you let me finish, that Mario is innocent of violence and abuse against DK and that DK is the bad guy in this!\n\nAlec: Everyone...? Anyway, Your Honor, I object to this! He's claiming that he hasn't hit DK at all!\n\nTaiga: \\rubs his chin lightly and thinks\\ Hmm... objection denied. Let the defendant speak.\n\nAlec: Say what?!\n\nLuigi: Thank you, Your Honor.\n\nAlec: \\looks to the side and notices the large crowd of people watching intensely\\ Wait a minute... when did this happen?\n\nLuigi: \\opens his briefcase and pulls out some papers as he shuffles them\\ Now like I was saying, the meeting, being on 1981, was about the making of the first game. It would be based off a comic strip from the popular 1930's character, Popeye. However, it didn't come to be. So Nintendo quickly decided that it would be best to take up the opportunity to create new characters that could then be marketed and used in later games. It would be settled that Mario, who was originally known as Jumpman, would be Popeye, DK would be Bluto, and Lady, who was later known as Pauline, would become Olive Oyl.\n\nAlec: But you forgot one little thing.\n\nLuigi: G-Gaah!?\n\nRandom audience of people: \\gasps and starts talking amongst each other\\\n\nTaiga: \\bangs gravel on the desk\\ Order! Order in the court!\n\nAlec: They made Bluto become the ape, yes! But Mario's and your creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, said something that proves one of my claims! If I remember correctly, he said, \"Nothing that would be too evil or repulsive\"!\n\nLuigi: That doesn't prove anything!\n\nAlec: There was more to it than that! It was also put in his interview that Bluto would become an ape, AND the PET of the main character! Am I wrong!?\n\nAudience: \\gasps\\\n\nLuigi: O-Objection! This was not put in the interview!\n\nAlec: Oh I might add that it was.\n\nLuigi: Well don't forget this! The idea was considered a love triangle. So where does the abuse fit in!?\n\nAlec: EEK! Uh... (D-Damn it. Where DOES abuse fit in that?)\n\nKira: \\is standing besides Alec\\ Don't forget Al!\n\nAlec: Hey! When did you get here!?\n\nKira: There's still one good piece of evidence IN that love triangle.\n\nAlec: Huh? Really?\n\nKira: Think outside the box and use what Luigi is saying against him.\n\nAlec: \\nods\\ I'll try.\n\nTaiga: \\bangs gravel on desk\\ Order! Order please! Okay Alec, please finish your accusation of said defendant. How does this love triangle prove that Mario was the one that abused DK?\n\nAlec: Heh heh heh\\~\n\nLuigi: \\gulps\\ W-W-What's so funny?\n\nAlec: The idea isn't how, but why and when. Like for instance, why would an ape fall in love for a human?\n\nLuigi: Remember King Kong?\n\nAlec: I mean besides that jackass.\n\nTaiga: Get to the point.\n\nAlec: \\rubs the back of his neck\\ Heh... sorry Your Honor. Anyway, the idea is he didn't at first. \\slams his paws onto the desk\\ It was out of revenge! The idea was that DK would get revenge on Mario by stealing his girlfriend! Thus, the plot for Donkey Kong was inspired! It became a love triangle AFTER he realized how much he liked Pauline!\n\nLuigi: OBJECTION!!! I object to these horrid lies!\n\nTaiga: Overruled!\n\nAlec: You just can't accept what's in front of you! And to add, why would an ape even BOTHER falling in love with a human!?\n\nLuigi: OBJECTION!!! There have been many times when random wild animals come into contact with humans!\n\nAlec: Yes. That is true. But never fell in love with them. And also, this happened in the middle of a CITY! That ape would have gotten chased away the second it reached the borderline! Let alone the middle of the city with how big he is!\n\nLuigi: G-Gaah!\n\nTaiga: Wait, so that means...?\n\nAlec: That's right! He needed a way inside without striking attention! In order words, he needed an owner! And he HAD an owner, Mario Mario!\n\nAudience: \\mumbles to each other loudly\\\n\nTaiga: \\bangs the gravel onto the desk\\ Order! I need order!\n\nLuigi: HOLD IT!!! That doesn't prove at all if it was Mario!\n\nTaiga: That is true. This doesn't prove that Mario is the owner of DK.\n\nAlec: No. \\holds up a piece of paper\\ But this does! Its papers proving to the court that he is, in fact, the owner! He bought DK from the black market!\n\nLuigi: Wait, say wha!?\n\nAlec: So not only is his name here, but so are his fingerprints! \\looks at Mario\\ Nice screw-up with not wearing gloves.\n\nMario: Grrrr!\n\nLuigi: Well, what about abusing DK?! Yes, Donkey Kong did escape and did kidnap Mario's girlfriend, Lady! But that doesn't prove at all about the abuse!? Why would Mario need a reason TO abuse DK!\n\nAlec: A-Ack! A r-r-reason!?\n\nLuigi: And you don't have one!\n\nAlec: There has to be a reason! After all, it's not just Donkey Kong! It's Yoshi and Bowser as well!\n\nLuigi: OBJECTION!!! Your Honor, now he is just spitting wild claims! Now he's bringing other characters into this! Bowser wasn't brought into the series until 1985 and Yoshi didn't make an appearance either until 1990!\n\nTaiga: That is true. Okay Alec, what do you say to this?\n\nAlec: \\growls sharply\\ (I have to think of something. I have to prove him guilty.)\n\nLuigi: \\smiles\\ (It looks like the Defense has won. Now I have to up and end this and everyone will see just how amazing and important I am to the Mario series. Heck, I'll even surpass Sonic, Samus, and even Link.)\n\nKira: Come on Alec, you have to think of something. Out of everything he uses or things in his past, you have to think of something before the verdict is called! Hurry or Mario will get away scot-free!\n\nAlec: (Darn it... he... he might not have a motive. I'm going to lose. Unless... wait a minute!)\n\nTaiga: Well then, if the prosecutor as nothing to say, then I declare the defendant--\n\nAlec: OBJECTION!!! I have the answer!\n\nTaiga and Luigi: R-R-Really?!\n\nAlec: It's been right in front of us the entire time!\n\nKira: I knew you could do it, Alec! Go ahead and let them have it!\n\nLuigi: No! Judge, do something!\n\nTaiga: \\shakes his head\\ Objection Sustained. Alec, please continue.\n\nAlec: \\thumbs up to Kira\\ Alright.... \\looks over at the Mario Bros. and slams his paws down onto the table\\ I'm willing to settle a deal. If I can say as to why Mario wanted or needed to mistreat and hit Yoshi and DK, then you must give in. Understand?\n\nMario: We would never--\n\nLuigi: Deal!\n\nMario: W-What?!\n\nLuigi: Trust me brother, there's no way at this point that he can do anything to us.\n\nAlec: \\smirks\\ During all those times, Mario was high.\n\nLuigi: Gah!\n\nAlec: It's bad enough that Mario eats mushrooms, but which kinds does he eat!?\n\nLuigi: Uh... Uh... well....\n\nAlec: With DK, young Donkey Kong was mistreated while he was a pet during Mario's career as a carpenter! With Yoshi, he hits Yoshi over the head while forcing him to eat enemies and different objects! But can you deny that at certain times in these events, he ate or was eating a mushroom!?\n\nLuigi: Well... O-Objection?\n\nTaiga: Denied.\n\nAlec: So from this point of view, \\slams his paws onto the desk\\ Mario didn't need a motive since he was Under The Influence!\n\nLuigi: Under The Influence!?\n\nAlec: That's right! Mario was doing drugs while abusing both DK and Yoshi!\n\nLuigi: .... \\gulps\\\n\nAlec: Well? Am I right?\n\nLuigi: Uh... \\looks at Mario\\\n\nMario: \\looks back at Luigi\\ Don't look at me like that! Do something! Anything! My career is on the line!\n\nLuigi: W-Well what about Bowser!?\n\nAlec: Yeah, Bowser doesn't even exist in this case. That was a complete mistake on my part.\n\nLuigi: Prove it!\n\nAlec: \\holds up a paper with Bowser's handwriting on it\\ We forced him to cough up everything he knows, and then sign this contact saying he had nothing to do with this case.\n\nLuigi: What?! When?!\n\nAlec: He's right outside the building dude with Peach. Seriously.\n\nLuigi: .... Dang it.\n\nTaiga: Is there anything else the Defense would like to say to court?\n\nAlec: \\eye twitches\\ (I didn't realize this was a courtroom.)\n\nLuigi: The Defense... the Defense... \\sighs\\ The Defense rests.\n\nMario: Say what!?\n\nTaiga: Well then, this court--\n\nAlec: Not a court!\n\nTaiga: \\growls\\ This... television network studio....\n\nAlec: Better.\n\nTaiga: \\huffs\\ Has found the defendant, Mr. Mario Mario, on the counts of drugs, animal abuse, and just plain existing altogether... GUILTY!!\n\nAudience: \\cheers and throws confetti around in the room\\\n\nAlec: (Now that I think about it, when were we allowed to have a live studio audience?)\n\nTaiga: The court--\n\nAlec: \\glares\\\n\nTaiga: I mean, the studio network, herby condemns Mario to 30 years of jail time without parole and 10 years of Community Service with a fine of 2 million--\n\nAlec: 4 million!\n\nTaiga: FIVE million dollars. \\bangs gravel on the desk\\ With that, the court is adjourned.\n\nMario: What do you mean no bail! I'm Mario you fucktard!\n\nTaiga: And. And I'm the guy who couldn't, shouldn't, wouldn't, and just don't plain give a shit.\n\nMario: \\whispers to Luigi\\ No wonder that Total Drama Guy gets more fans than you. What's his name... Tyler?\n\nLuigi: Who's Tyler?\n\nMario: Exactly!\n\nTaiga: Can someone escort the defendant out of here?\n\nRandom police guy: \\grabs Mario and drags him off stage\\\n\nMario: I will get my revenge! Do you hear me, Alec! I will get my revenge! \\is dragged off-stage\\\n\nAlec: .... Is he serious?\n\nKira: Do you care?\n\nAlec: Not really.\n\nKira: Okay then, who wants ice cream!?\n\nEveryone on-stage: I do! I do!\n\n---\n\nMe: We... just ripped of... Phoenix Wright.... \\groans\\\n\nDaichi: What's your problem?\n\nLuna: Yeah, it shouldn't be that big of a problem. Consider it a fan-fiction like the rest of your pointless crap.\n\nMe: \\rubs my temples\\ Just... do the copyrights!\n\nLuna: \\scoffs\\ Right. \\picks up the clipboard\\ Alec the wolf, Taiga the dragon, and Kira the lioness all belong to Thrillseeker who is also known as Kunai994.\n\nMe: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, and the mentioned Donkey Kong and Yoshi are all owned and belongs to Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo®, and the Mario franchise.\n\nDaichi: All of the jokes, gags, sick puns, and dumb ideas were all thought up right off the bat.

Friday-to-Friday had come and gone and nobody was any the wiser. For Mark, it was a week of quiet misery. Not only was his big brother Charlie leaving them again in just over a week, he was also having to deal with the heartbreak of losing a love. Being that it was a secret relationship, there were few who knew that they had broken up or had even been together. Out of the two whom knew of their little secret, only one had seemingly become aware of its disintegration.\n\nCharlie hadn't said a word, but he was all too astute not to realise what had happened. He didn't even have to speak to Mark to know how he was feeling. He could see it in his body language; he wasn't full of energy like he usually was. The other thing was that he hadn't received a single phone call or visit from Mist, nor had he gone to see her. He could only imagine how that poor girl felt. However, the really frustrating thing was that he had no idea why they would break up. There were many reasons couples would split up, he'd been through most of them himself already, but it just didn't seem to make any sense. It didn't take a mastermind to understand how in love with each other they were and they shared something special together. It was a mystery he hoped he might solve before his time was up.\n\nIt was early Saturday afternoon and life as normal continued on. Charlie and Liz were in the kitchen preparing lunch for the family; a mixture of tasty looking sandwiches placed neatly on a specifically large plate. It was a tradition long held by the family to all eat meals together whenever possible. Of course it was not entirely compulsory and those whom had other things to do where excused. Though, those who saw no purpose in eating together and chose to eat alone lost some of their credibility. Fortunately, that was very rarely the case in this family as they all enjoyed each other's company equally. The only periods that were considered true 'family time,' were Saturday lunch times and Sunday evening's. Only in special cases could one hope to get away with missing 'family time.'\n\nDerek was doing his usual thing, which was to read the paper in the lounge, safely tucked away from noise, for now at least. Hazel had found herself a nice spot on the grass out in the back garden to soak up some sun and read a book in peace. Their garden was quite large. A wooden fence stretched along the right side, while the bottom and left side was covered by evergreens. Two-dozen steppingstones imbedded in the ground made a neat looking path to the bottom of the garden where a shed and an old oak tree stood, both as lifeless as the other. A paved patio area was positioned right next to the French double doors and covered around a quarter of the garden.\n\nHazel would sit cross-legged in the middle of the grass for a few hours sometimes, whiling away time as if it were a commodity. She liked the feel of grass under her feet, it tickled between her toes, yet was smooth at the same time. A gentle cooling wind blew, although it could not undo the searing heat of the summer's sun, it was still a pleasant breeze. An ear flicked, batting away a bee that had gotten close enough to become irritating. She had drifted into a daydream like state, even though she was still reading and taking in much of what she read. She did it often, finding that she would become a character in the book, usually the one she most admired.\n\n\"Hazel,\" Liz called at a modest level, poking her head outside into the backyard.\n\nHazel's ears perked up immediately, breaking her out of her little fantasy world to turn towards the sound. It was like she had been asleep and had just been woken up as her eyelids flickered. Reality hit her and her senses reactivated, bringing back to life the world that was around her. As she was facing away from the doors, she had to swivel her upper body around and look over her shoulder.\n\n\"Hey mum,\" she answered cheerily, flashing her mother a smile.\n\n\"Lunch is nearly ready,\" Liz said, returning the warm smile she received.\n\n\"Okay, I'll be inside in a bit then,\" she gleefully responded.\n\n\"You do remember Auntie Josephine will be coming round later today?\" Liz asked, knowing her daughter wouldn't forget, but she liked to make sure.\n\n\"Of course, who do you think I am, Mark,\" she giggled to some extent, which was quickly joined by her mother.\n\n\"Speaking of Mark, do you think you could go wake him up, please?\" She requested pleasantly, holding a paw above her brow to block out the blinding sunlight.\n\n\"Is he still not up yet?\" Hazel asked with an apt amount of surprise.\n\nLiz shook her head lightly; her expression was now meek and gloomy, conveying her feelings for the situation. She turned and went back inside the house, returning to get everything ready for lunch.\n\nHazel's once happy smile had faded and was replaced by dismal concern for her little brother. She hadn't seen him this depressed for at least five years. Something had crushed his spirit, but for the life of her she could not figure out what. It made her sad to see him in such a way and try as she might, she could not seem to get a rise out of him. He hadn't even been in 'the mood' this past week, which left her with a burning desire that couldn't be filled without him.\n\nLooking down she sighed into her book; silently wishing life could be more like the fictional world she held in her paws. Picking up her bookmark and sliding it in between the pages, she closed it and smoothed the hardback cover. Things always ended happily ever after in the stories she read. She thought it a shame that reality wasn't the same.\n\nWith a heaving puff she raised herself off of the grass, stretching out her arms on tiptoes as if reaching for the sky itself. She relaxed again, rolling her shoulders before setting off back inside the house. She walked into the dinning room through the French double doors and continued on towards the staircase. She could easily see both her brother and mother working away and chatting through the open plan archway connecting the dining area and the kitchen. She took the relative short cut, which meant she didn't have to go through the kitchen. The only true door to the dining room led straight out into the hallway. When she added it up, it was probably about the same distance if she went through the kitchen, because the first step was a single metre from the kitchen doorway.\n\nA quick climb up the stairs later, she was on the landing and padding softly towards her room. She didn't like having to wake him when he was depressed; he was safe in his dreams, although lately that hadn't been the case. However, there was a limit to how much time he could spend sleeping. He should just think himself lucky it was her waking him up. In his present circumstances she would be gentle and sympathetic, but nevertheless forceful. On a normal day Mark would probably get a glass of water over the head for being so lazy.\n\nShe silently opened up the door and slipped in, trying not to make any sound so she could delay her duty and give him a couple of extra seconds rest. She approached the lump in the sheets on the rickety camp bed. The curtains were still closed, yet enough sunlight was piercing through the material to comfortably light up the whole room. A loud creak made her body tightened as she winced helplessly. That one accursed squeaky floorboard in her room and she had to step on it. Lifting her weight from her right foot, she stepped away and began her voyage once more. When she reached him she noticed that not one part of his body was showing from under the sheets. He was visibly on his side and she could see where his paw had collected up the sheet to pull over his head. It must have been too light for him because it certainly wasn't cold.\n\nShe crouched down beside him, sitting on her heels. She watched the bulge in the quilt slowly move up and down as he breathed peacefully. Hazel sighed once more, before extending a paw and placing it on what she hoped was his arm. She smoothed him under the duvet, seeking to wake him as serenely as possible.\n\n\"Mark,\" she whispered calmly.\n\nThere was no response, not even the tiniest of movements were made. She decided to up her game, one way or another he was going to be woken up. She gradually peeled back the sheet from his face, uncovering his features down to his neck. Fortunately, he wasn't gripping tightly onto the quilt or otherwise it may have been a task excavating him. He looked so tranquil when he was sleeping. His expression was hassle-free with no signs of stress or worry. She brushed her paw lovingly through his tuft of brown hair. His head moved slightly as the smallest of smiles crept across his muzzle.\n\n\"Mark,\" she called softly, only louder this time.\n\nMark's expression changed quickly. His eyebrows dipped towards his nose and his muzzle scrunched up somewhat. He made an odd murmuring sound as if displaying his displeasure vocally. A heavier breath escaped him as his senses began to rouse, but he did not wake. It seemed he was very determined to stay in wonderland, instead of facing real life.\n\n\"Come on little fox, it's time to get up,\" she stated more firmly, yet she kept a soothing tone.\n\nMark's unconscious mind was absolutely adamant that it did not want to be woken up. Hazel hummed to herself, both in compassion and thought. He really didn't want to get up. She thought about giving him a really pleasant awakening since nobody was about, but his disposition lately told her not to force him into anything. She wasn't even sure if he'd enjoy it or just tell her to go away. Instead, she lowered her head and licked his check a few times. Mark stirred a lot now, instinctively reacting to the wetness lashing against his face. Her tactful tender tactics were paying off as he flopped over so that he was lying on his back.\n\nMark's eyes began to delicately blink open as his awareness awoke from its slumber. The low lighting didn't impose on his waking as he promptly came to his senses. At first only blurred images could be made out, although clear ones replaced them when his eyes fully opened. That was a sight he would never get tired of waking up to, his sister's beautiful smiling face looking adoringly down on him. It made him smile, if only for a second, before memories of pain returned. His smile hurriedly disappeared as he remembered what he had woken up to. His eyes lowered and broke contact with his sister's.\n\nHazel easily recognised this and her own grin evaporated into thin air as well. Sleep, rest and time could cure most things and Mark had had plenty of each the past week. Emotional hurt could be compared to a laceration of the skin, depending on how deep the cut had gone determines how much time is needed for it to heal. Sadly some cuts leave scars and never truly go away. It was because of this, Hazel chalked Mark's misery up to Charlie leaving soon. There wasn't anyway around it, Mark was going to have to cope with it as best he could. But he didn't have to deal with it alone. She was always going to be there for him like she always had been. Little did she know, the wound went deeper than what she thought.\n\n\"Mark, what's wrong?\" She questioned with concern in her voice.\n\n\"Nothing,\" he mumbled his reply.\n\n\"You've been pretty down recently, there has to be something wrong?\" She continued to enquire.\n\n\"I said I'm fine,\" he answered meekly, keeping his tone low and barely audible.\n\nHazel didn't know what was the most saddening part of all this, the fact that her little brother was so depressed or the fact that he wouldn't tell her the problem. She stayed watching him in complete silence, never letting her eyes fall from his.\n\n\"You best get up Mark, lunch is nearly ready,\" she announced, before standing up. She walked away from him, leaving him to his own devices if he didn't want to talk. She would get it out of him eventually; it wasn't good for him to keep everything all bottled up like that.\n\nJust before she exited the room, she remembered something she needed to remind him of. She turned to find him looking at her once more. \"Auntie Josephine is coming around today, thought I'd just jog your memory,\" she said with a weak smile.\n\n\"I know thanks,\" Mark replied, attempting a pitiful grin of sorts.\n\nHe looked on as his sister left the room, making everything seem even more miserable. He listened to fading footsteps and creaking floorboards from the landing, then, nothing. Deafening silence gripped the young fox in its cold clutches. He felt so alone in his struggles, although he knew his family was there for him. Hazel was a ray of sunshine in the blackness of his days, but even she couldn't bring him through this one. This was something only he could sort out himself, for better or for worse.\n\nMark yawned widely, his muzzle opening as far as it would go before slamming shut. He sat up with a squeal of protest coming from the camp bed. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes using the backs if his paws. It took him a few seconds to get his bearings, carefully scanning the room to become familiar with it again. A hefty sigh broke free of his mouth as he decided it best to get a move on. The tedious things like showering could come later. He was simply clad in a pair of navy boxers and needed to address that certain detail.\n\nHe slid his legs over the metallic edge of the camp bed and lifted himself to his feet. He had dumped his clothes on the floor the night previous and figured there was no point putting clean clothes on with a dirty body. He picked up the remarkably creased black t-shirt and similarly tattered pair of jeans. It was the same old boring procedure of applying clothing that he went thought sometimes two or three times a day. In no time at all, Mark was making his way downstairs and trying to locate the rest of his family.\n\n\"Oh, good afternoon sunshine, don't need to ask how you slept,\" Liz chuckled with a grin. She was crossing over to the lounge from the kitchen with a large plate in her paws, when she saw her son and stopped. The plate she was transporting had an arrangement of sandwiches atop it. She didn't wait for any response and continued on walking, knowing they would have plenty of time to talk in a minute.\n\n\"Just in time Marky, we were beginning to worry you'd gone nocturnal on us,\" Charlie said chirpy as ever. He too was carrying a plate of sandwiches.\n\n\"Not yet anyway,\" Mark added, trying to make it sound as if it were a joke.\n\n\"Come on scruff, time to eat, you must be hungry by now,\" Charlie affirmed encouragingly.\n\n\"Well, you know me,\" Mark rejoined, putting on a mask of happiness.\n\nHe followed his brother into the living room where everybody had gathered. He was a bit anxious about going in because he knew he would be somewhat a pariah as he had only just gotten up. He entered the room close behind Charlie, almost as if he were trying to hide. He watched as his older brother placed the plate of sandwiches on the coffee table next to the other one that Liz had brought in. They did look tasty and a low growl from his stomach told him how hungry he was.\n\n\"Good afternoon son,\" Derek peeked up from his paper to say.\n\n\"Morn... afternoon dad,\" he said, quickly correcting himself.\n\nHe took a seat in between Hazel and Charlie on the three seated sofa. He did not sit back and relax; instead he stayed perched on the edge of the sofa. He looked hungrily at the food displayed on the table and licked his lips ever so slightly. It had been a long time since he had last eaten, considering that it was lunchtime and he had skipped breakfast whilst sleeping. Nobody else was eating. Liz, Charlie and Hazel were watching the television while Derek was reading. Lost in his mind he naturally jumped a little when Hazel lent forward to grab a plate and a sandwich of her choice. Taking that as a sign he could eat something he followed his sister's example and grabbed some food. It struck him as odd that he waited for validation to eat something. He simply shook his head and paid his crazy mind no more attention. There was so much going on up there lately that nothing seemed to make sense anymore. For now, he was just content to be munching on a ham sandwich.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\nDeep in thought the time was ticking away, seconds turned to minutes then hours. Before Mark knew it, it was three O'clock and Aunt Josephine would be arriving soon. It definitely wasn't a bad thing; they all loved her because she was so nice. In fact, everybody always said they could see a little bit of her personality in Charlie. They were both infallibly cheerful almost all the time and had a very sunny disposition. Being that she was his father's sister, they seemed to be like opposites. One was happy and showed it, but the other could be happy or sad and it would be difficult to tell the difference. Derek took a very relaxed approach to family life, only getting involved if the situation required his firm paw. Derek's sister took a much more engaged attitude with her children as Mark had seen personally when he went to visit. There was only one rule in her house, Josephine's rule. Although instead of punishment, she used encouragement, which was where she differed from other parents.\n\nMark's thoughts were interrupted when he heard the ring of the doorbell. For the first time in quite a while, he managed to smile for real. This was a welcome change in his life right now; maybe it was what he needed to recover or at least gather the bravery to act upon the decision he made a week ago.\n\nHe threw his control pad beside himself and got up off of the foot of his old bed. He switched off both his gamestation and television before heading towards the door. He walked briskly down the landing and in the direction of the stairs. He was directly at the top of the staircase when he saw everybody had gathered in the hallway. Derek was standing idly in the doorway to the kitchen. Charlie had elected to stand across the hall near the lounge doorway. Hazel and Liz were in the centre, practically directly in front of the door. Mark raced down the stairway, watching his mother open the door.\n\n\"HAZEL!\" Came a high-pitched squeal as soon as the door was opened. A small blurry fuzz of greyish fur flew towards Hazel at record speeds. She hardly had enough time to prepare to be pounced before the haze of grey leapt at her. She fell backwards like a freshly cut tree, narrowly escaping a nasty head injury.\n\n\"Hazel! Hazel! Hazel!\" The excitable ball of fluff squeaked rapidly. Hazel was stunned from the fall and didn't reply as the world around her froze for a minute. She felt wet licks on her cheeks that instantly brought her round.\n\n\"Okay, okay, it's nice to see you too Josh!\" Hazel laughed out her reply as a small pink tongue tickled her face repeatedly.\n\n\"Dear god Joshua! Get off of your cousin this instant!\" A hard but unusually kind voice called.\n\n\"Yes mamma,\" the child said apologetically, his stout triangular ears drooping behind his head. The small grey wolfox climbed carefully off of his cousin he had ambushed in the excitement. He paced back towards his mother who was now standing just inside the hallway. The little wolfox boy was ten years old and very much so looked his age. His adolescent facial features showed this well and his size didn't help matters. He was a head shorter than Mark, which made him less than four feet. His fur was a perfect mix of white and black, combining to cover his whole body in a monotone of grey. Being a wolfox, he had traits of both his father and mother. His mother, Josephine, was an arctic vixen with pure snowy white fur. His father was a wolf with black as night fur and so Joshua was born a crossbreed. His ears, muzzle and tail were all wolf like in appearance, whereas the rest of him has more from his mother's side.\n\n\"I'm so sorry about Josh, he's been hyper ever since I told him we were coming here today,\" Josephine said in a slightly tired voice. It wasn't very often she came to visit, mainly because she lived far away. She was only one year her brothers senior, making her forty-seven. As siblings they were not dissimilar in the looks department, although the obvious difference of them being male and female made them different. She was rounder than Derek, not overweight, but she certainly had more meat on the bone. She still looked young, although she did not try to pass herself off as thirty-seven, she could have quite easily.\n\n\"Really, I don't mind, I think I should be used to it from him by now. I just wish somebody would have told me he would be coming so I could prepare myself,\" Hazel giggled merrily whilst standing back up. She looked knowingly over at her mother who was poorly concealing a laugh behind her paw. Hazel rolled her eyes at her. She found it funny, but would have liked at least some kind of notification from those who knew.\n\n\"Well come here and give your Auntie a big hug you two,\" she said emphatically to both Hazel and Mark, who had been watching his sister get mauled in great amusement. Almost immediately the two of them dashed over to the artic vixen and hugged her warmly. Josephine bent down to bring herself to their height and returned the embrace with enthusiasm, wrapping her arms around her two nephews.\n\n\"It's so good to see you again Auntie Joe,\" Hazel mumbled happily into Joe's side.\n\n\"Ditto,\" Mark added his piece, smiling to himself.\n\n\"I would come over more often if I didn't live so far and for one other reason,\" she spoke sweetly to the beloved ones in her arms. Josephine gave a dark glance over at her brother. It was no more than a second of eye contact, yet it was enough to make Derek shift uncomfortably where he rested.\n\nThe three-way cuddle was broken when all of the participants simultaneously decided to end it. Josephine stood back up, placing her paws on her nephew's shoulders and released a heavy breath. It was a pleasure to be in the company of them once again.\n\n\"You have not changed a bit little madam,\" she spoke joyfully to Hazel. She then looked over at Mark and gave him a thoughtful examination.\n\n\"You have changed...\" she said as if stuck within her own mind, like she was drawing her own conclusions. \"You've grown up into a big, strong and dare I say, handsome young man,\" she smiled cordially, patting the blushing young fox between his ears. What she said was true, but it was not the whole truth. She could sense that something else had changed, something deeper than external looks. She let it go for now, it wasn't her place to pry. Anyway, something else more pertinent was on her mind. She looked about herself and instantly locked eyes with a grinning blue fox stood not five feet away.\n\n\"Well bless my soul... Elizabeth said you had come home, but I would never have believed it until I saw you with my own two eyes...\" she announced with the lightest of gasps imaginable.\n\n\"Hello Auntie, long time no see,\" Charlie spoke up, still grinning cheekily.\n\n\"Well don't just stand there, child!\" Josephine called ecstatically.\n\nWithin a few brisk steps Charlie had taken his Aunt into his arms, being that he was taller than her now. He held her close, placing his muzzle on her shoulder and nuzzling ever so slightly against her neck. Both had their eyes closed as they basked in the long overdue reunion.\n\n\"You were the only one who understood...\" Charlie whispered at a level only audible to her.\n\n\"I know dearest... I know...\" she whispered back, a solemn look on her face.\n\nThey stayed like that a bit longer, each showing their appreciation for one another. The three children of this particular gathering, Mark, Hazel and Josh, all looked on in quiet fascination. Charlie had never spoken of Josephine before, but it seemed obvious that they were pretty close. Only the two parents knew of what was between them, though they never spoke of it. Derek suppressed a snide scowl through darkened eyes, not allowing anyone to see how he truly felt. Liz was nearly in tears; she knew how much Josephine meant to Charlie and it broke her heart to think about it. A few brave deep breaths corrected her disposition, if only on the outside.\n\nAfter a time, the blue fox and snowy white vixen parted, leaving the hallway in deathly silence. Josephine had said her greetings to practically everyone; including Liz whom she had hugged while Josh was affectionately pawing Hazel. The only fur she had not paid attention to was her own brother; with the exception of the few fleeting glances she gave him. It was an odd moment when the two locked eyes permanently. Neither one of them could look away, not even for a second. An eerie pause besmirched the high spirits and loving emotions that had once existed not one minute ago.\n\n\"Hello brother,\" Josephine chose to break the mood with a simple greeting.\n\n\"Sis,\" Derek merely replied, giving her the slightest of nods.\n\nJosephine smiled a little. To some this would have seemed odd at such a point of anguish, but it meant more between brother and sister than met the eye. As Josephine had been with her brother for many years when they were teens, like most siblings, she knew him well. It was because of this she understood the nature of Derek. He was indeed a proud fox, who always had a sense of nobility and to receive that seemingly harsh welcome was all Josephine needed to know that she was accepted. The past was never behind them and Charlie only served as a constant reminder. She hoped that one day all would be forgiven and forgotten and they could carry on as normal, but it appeared that forgiveness and forgetfulness were not traits Derek had.\n\n\"Lets have a sit down and a nice cup of tea, yeah?\" Liz perked up, stepping out of the background and into the limelight.\n\n\"Oh I'm dying for a cuppa,\" Josephine grinned earnestly in return.\n\nA short dispute about who was going to make the tea later, with Josephine finally backing down after Liz's 'you've been on the road for hours,' argument, winning out. Derek, Josephine, Mark, Hazel and Joshua, who followed closely behind his cousins, filed orderly into the living room. Liz and Charlie went into the kitchen to prepare cups of tea for those who would be having some. With a loud rumble the electric kettle was boiling in no time and four distinctly different cups of tea were made. With one mug in each paw, the two crossed over to the lounge and passed out respective cups full of hot light brown liquid to the adults.\n\nHaving only six seats and seven furs was no problem, especially when the little wolfox among them had no objections to sitting on his cousin Hazel's lap. Hazel didn't mind either, she thought it was cute, kind of like a young Mark. She still thought Mark was cute, but he'd never sit on her lap like a child would. She phased out for a bit, simply staring intently at her brother who was smiling. God did she ever miss that smile; she thought she'd never see it again. With her own satisfied grin, her ears flicked actively as sounds of conversation finally hit home.\n\n\"I'm afraid Emily couldn't make it, she's still on her gap year, last we heard she was doing volunteer work in Africa, but I'm not going to pester her with phone calls, probably the last time she'll get to have that much fun anyway. From her letters she sounds like she's having a great time anyway,\" Josephine regaled the gathering by telling them of her 18-year-old daughter.\n\n\"Nice to get away from education though, I'm right in saying she's going to university when she comes back?\" Liz asked curiously.\n\n\"Yes she is, going to study psychiatry... my little sweetheart is growing up,\" she answered reminiscently. \"But at least I still have this little monkey!\" She called out, leaning forward and scooping up her grey fuzzy son into her arms. Joshua giggled freely, beaming broadly in the clutches of his loving parent. After a few moments, he settled down and noticed everyone looking at him. He went quiet and blushed heavily, seeing that all eyes were literally on him. He took special note of the blue fox he couldn't remember ever seeing before. He found it very odd when he hugged his mum like that, especially when she had never even mentioned him.\n\n\"Mamma, who's Charlie?\" He looked up to his mother, tilting his head skywards and whispering quietly, when ordinary conversation had continued.\n\n\"He's both my nephew and your eldest cousin,\" Josephine replied in a soft voice.\n\n\"Do I know him?\" He questioned quizzically, cocking his head and gazing at the blue fox.\n\n\"Yes you do, but I think you may have been too young to remember him, it's been five long years since even I've seen him...\" she drifted off slightly, but kept her composure.\n\nJosh didn't quite understand, yet his adolescent mind did not allow him to question further and he accepted things the way they were. Another feature of his young brain was that it got bored very quickly and all the adult conversation became rapidly arduous.\n\n\"I want to play with Hazel and Mark,\" Josh stated in his diminutive voice, still speaking lowly to only his mother.\n\n\"Well I'm sure if you ask them nicely, they'll say yes,\" his mother grinned sweetly with a light-hearted chuckle.\n\nJoshua climbed carefully off of his mothers lap, sliding himself stealthily to the floor. Unnoticed, he padded his way back over to Hazel and stood before her. She was not looking his way at first and was engrossed in a conversation with Mark who was sat beside her. He looked at them as if worried and confused at the same time. He looked back over to Josephine, but she was in a three-way discussion of her own with Liz and Charlie. His naturally low childish patience ran out pretty quickly. Barely a few seconds had passed and his bored mind made him act so that he could quench his thirst for entertainment. He gripped onto Hazel's light blue jeans leg and gave it a gentle tug. She didn't seem to notice. His brow furrowed in slight frustration at the feeling of being unintentionally ignored. He tugged a bit harder, the fabric visibly stretching over her knee. He caught Hazel's attention this time and she turned her head to see Joshua's face.\n\n\"What's wrong sweetie?\" She asked pleasantly, a warm smile spread over her muzzle.\n\n\"I want to play,\" he simply stated, having nothing else to add except his request.\n\nHazel grinned widely and giggled faintly at how cute he was. She placed a paw behind his ear and rubbed his head fur softly. He tilted his head into her strokes, a serene look covering his expression. Both his ears folded back somewhat, obviously enjoying the attention.\n\n\"Of course cousin,\" she answered him whole-heartedly. She stopped scratching his head and he smiled excitedly at her response. \"What do you want to do?\" She questioned.\n\n\"Um...\" Joshua's voice faded reflectively. The young wolfox hadn't actually put a lot of thought into it. He wanted to do something that wasn't boring, obviously. Though he didn't know what there was that they could do. Quite a few thoughts sprung to mind, but he was not sure what Hazel and Mark would think of any of them. Hazel noticed he had drawn a blank and was struggling. A great thought jumped to mind instantly and she knew her little cousin was bound to love it.\n\n\"How about we go to the park?\" She asked with a due amount of mirth.\n\n\"YEAH!\" He shrieked childishly, almost jumping on the spot.\n\n\"That sounds like fun,\" Mark added, joining in to give his approval, having been listening to them talking.\n\n\"Well, what are we waiting for?\" The cliché rhetorical question arose from Hazel. She stood up, pressing her paws against the cushy sofa to provide extra force. Mark was close to follow, rising from his comfortable seating position.\n\n\"And where do you think you three are going?\" Liz asked, acting as if she were annoyed with them.\n\n\"The park!\" Josh barked in excitement. His expression was of pure glee and his wolfish tail wagged energetically from side to side.\n\n\"Hmmm... I don't know about that,\" Liz commented teasingly. \"I think you best ask your mother,\" she said, looking over at Josephine and winking subtly. She grinned in return. Joshua's appearance dampened a bit for fear that his mother might say no because of his unruly act previously bestowed upon Hazel. He walked carefully up to her in that way children do when they're being crafty and trying to sweeten you up for something. His tail had ceased waving to and fro, stopping and hanging limply.\n\n\"Muuuuuum?\" He began his juvenile guile technique with a classic manoeuvre.\n\n\"Yes dear?\" She asked, playing the fool and forcing back a laugh, trying desperately to look her pleading son in the eyes.\n\n\"Can me and my cousins go to the park, pleeeeease?\" He beseeched her sweetly, his big puppy eyes gleaming.\n\n\"Of course you can sweetheart, just don't have too much sugar while you're out or otherwise you won't get any sleep tonight, okay?\" She made sure to add sternly.\n\n\"Yes mamma,\" he beamed a cheery smile. His tail resumed its active wagging, threatening to knock over a cup and spill the tea within all over the carpet.\n\n\"And be back before dinner,\" Liz added as the three of them were about to exit the room.\n\nHazel and Mark nodded their reply; Josh was too far gone to even notice. He scampered towards his shoes and tugged them on. He didn't undo his laces when he took them off so it was a quick procedure putting them back on. He waited eagerly; fidgeting on the spot by the door while his cousins collected their own shoes. He was almost bouncing by the time they got to him and opened up the door.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\nIt was a quicker trip to the park than it usually was, although that was only because of little Joshua's keenness. The two siblings had to jog to keep up with Josh's running. He seemed to want to stay at least a few paces ahead of them at all times as if they were in a race. He would shout back at them taunts about being slow and not being able to catch up with him. Of course, the two foxes could easily catch the kit up, but they knew that's not what he actually wanted.\n\nThere were barely any cars on the road as it was the weekend. What also made a difference was the summer's shining sun that was withering the un-watered plants and because of this, most people were walking anyway. There weren't many roads to cross on the way to the park and no cars to speak of. However, Mark and Hazel still caught up immediately with young Joshua to make absolutely sure he was safe when crossing the road. Much to his displeasure and whining, but all was well when they got to the other side because he simply started running again. They had been to the park quite a number of times and it had become quite the tradition whenever Josh came round to go there. Consequently, Josh knew the way from memory and could probably make the journey wearing a blindfold.\n\nJosh arrived at the entrance ahead of his cousins and let out a squeal of elation. He already had everything he wanted to do mapped out perfectly in his mind. As well as knowing how to get there, he also knew where everything inside was. He turned to the foxes and beamed at them.\n\n\"HA! I beat you slowpokes!\" He laughed teasingly.\n\n\"That you did. I could swear you get faster every time we see each other,\" Hazel grinned, praising the wolfox.\n\n\"Too fast for me Josh,\" Mark commented happily, looking over at Hazel and winking.\n\nThey watched as Josh's tail wagged furiously, proud of his victory over his older cousins. Mark's worries seemed to melt away when he was in the company of this excitable kit. He was unsure of the specific quality Joshua had that made him so cheerful, but he liked it. He supposed Josh reminded him of himself when he was that age: a ball of energetic fluff that needed constant action and entertainment to function.\n\n\"Race you to the lake!\" He challenged, sprinting off right away.\n\nThe siblings stood still for a moment, then they looked at each other and both smiled. A silent contest was agreed in an instant as if psychically transferred. Hazel smirked at her brother, finding it quite amusing that he would be challenging her to a foot race. Mark's simper of a smile told the whole story that he was not going to back down. Almost simultaneously they rocketed from their position, dust from the dry beaten path kicking up from under their feet as they took flight.\n\nThe lake was far more than a stone's throw away and would take at least a few minutes to reach, if they were walking that is. The orange foxes were neck and neck to begin with, one would ever so slightly gain the lead, only to lose it when they had to slow down or the other sped up. They roared past Joshua, who was nearly spun around by the ferocity of the runners. He only saw clouds of dust after they had passed him and he was a bit bemused as to what had just happened. Taking little to no notice of Josh, which could have been considered irresponsible, Mark and Hazel raced onwards.\n\nMark wasn't the most athletic of foxes and his sister did have the advantage of longer legs, so naturally Hazel began to climb into first place. Try as he might, Mark just couldn't seem to recover the distance between them, which was creeping ever further in Hazel's favour. He muscles started to ache and a stitch formed in his stomach. Pain burned within him and he was forced to slow down and clutch onto his side. But he hadn't given up yet; he had too much adrenaline coursing through him to do that. In a last desperate effort to regain pole position, he picked up the pace and ran as fast as he could. His legs thumped hard against the dirt track and the lake soon came within sight.\n\nHazel glanced off to her side and noticed Mark was no longer level pegging. She grinned in a predetermined triumphant gesture. If she hadn't been so secure in her victory and had bothered to look back behind herself, she may have seen Mark closing the gap. Alas, she was contempt that conquest was already hers and slowed down from full speed.\n\nMark seized his chance and summed up all his will power and endurance to give it one last push. The lake was now a mere thirty metres away, but within the space of three seconds he had caught up with his sister. He nimbly ran past her, his head down and mind focused. He wasn't even that bothered about winning, nor did he see it as a true competition. The only reasonable conclusion he could come to was that he had too much energy from being incredibly lazy lately. The energy burning activity he had, as of late, become accustomed to had ceased due to his own mood.\n\nMark did the smart thing, or so he thought, and looked back behind himself to see that he sister had skidded to a halt. Feeling a warm glow of satisfaction that he had won he turned back to look where he was going so he could stop. It was only then that he realised how close he was to the lake. A sharp twinge in his chest told him to stop, which sent a message to his brain to do just that. He threw out a leg in front of himself and dug his foot into the ground. Mud and grass were torn from the soil as the fox urgently tried to stop himself before the water did. With literal inches of earth left to spare, he came to an abrupt end. He gasped for air out of need and shock. His eyes were wide at how close he had come to an early and very cold bath. Just the thought of plunging in there was enough to make him shiver, even on a scalding hot day that lake was an unwelcoming kind of cold. He weakly brought himself to his feet once more, his muscles tender from the race.\n\nHe stared out at the vast lake, watching it shimmer and glisten under the influence of the sun. When he turned around he was greeted by the positively evil grin of his malevolent sister. He looked at her curiously with a rising amount of panic. Her chest was heaving breathlessly and her mouth was open slightly to suck in air. He quickly looked back at the inch of ground between him and waters edge. His eyes went wider still as he suddenly achieved the ability to see into the future. Before he could even utter a word of protest, a familiar paw was placed on his chest. A gentle shove was all it took to tip Mark's balance. He flailed, frantically trying to recuperate his stability, but with no success. As inevitable as taxes, Mark fell backwards into the lake. Time seemed to slow as the clear blue liquid rippled outwards when he made contact. A powerful tidal wave was created in a circle around his body, flowing away from him. The sound of a loud splash and spray of water was all that was left of him as he was swallowed up.\n\nHazel had stepped up to the edge and was now laughing uncontrollably, coughing from her already copious lack of oxygen. She bent over and placed her paws on her knees. A mixture of splutters and sniggers escaped her concurrently. The hoarse sound of her breathing became even more apparent when her brother resurfaced. He gasped immediately for air, splashing around himself to stay afloat. He was a strong swimmer, but when he's confused, shocked and in need of air, things become a bit more difficult.\n\nThe lake was quite deep, although it was not uncommon for people to go swimming in it, as long as they knew what they were doing. Mark gathered his composure and almost effortlessly began to paddle with his feet and arms. He stayed afloat, albeit he was rather breathless. He looked over at his vulpine sister with a less than impressed glare. She merely continued to laugh, examining the drowned rat of a fox.\n\n\"Don't you just wish you had a video camera sometimes,\" she managed to say between cackles.\n\nMark had to admit, it was funny. He wasn't really angry with her at all, but he definitely was not going to let her get away with it. He noticed Josh had finally caught up with them and was stood just behind Hazel. He looked very puzzled as to why his cousin was in the lake and was about to say something. Mark quickly put a single finger to his lips in the universal sign for 'keep quiet.' Josh nodded carefully, still bewildered and quite cautious. Hazel was starting to cool down from her giggle fit, though she was still unaware that somebody was behind her. Having Josh's full attention, he grins mischievously at him. He elevates his paws out of the water and makes a pushing motion in front of himself. Josh mimics Mark's maniacal grin and nods again.\n\nHazel now takes note that her brother was making signals in her direction, but not at her. A few more splutters and coughs later, she is fully alert once more. She raises an eyebrow quizzically at Mark's curious actions. She turns around to see her little cousin standing directly behind her. She jumps at his sudden appearance.\n\n\"Whoa Josh! You frightened the life out of me!\" She joked humorously. Hazel then took note of the smirk he was wearing on his wolfish muzzle. She twigged. \"Josh... Josh NO - \" She pleaded sternly before being cut off. The wolfox shoved her only gently, yet it was enough to topple her over. Just like her brother before her, she fell into the lake backwards.\n\nA splash and a spray of water sealed her fate. She felt the cold sting cling to her body as her clothes were instantly soaked through. She kicked her legs and pumped her arms underneath the surface, trying to get her head above water. Hazel re-emerged moments later. For a split second all sound had disappeared as her ears were still blocked. When she was able to hear again, she only heard the merry laughter of the two boys. A deep gasping breath brought the much-needed oxygen to her lungs. Kicking only with her legs she stayed buoyant. She wiped the water from her face and brushed aside clumps of wet blonde hair to clear her vision.\n\nMark had swum back over to the embankment and had latched back onto solid ground. Just looking at Hazel was enough to bring fits of hilarity. She didn't look particularly happy; though Mark could tell that she was just mock pouting. Having been with her for so many years he knew when she was actually angry or just messing around.\n\nJosh had to sit on the grass to hold his sides from all the laughing. To nobody's surprise, Josh enjoyed doing that. It wasn't everyday he was allowed to be naughty like that and the image of Hazel tumbling into the lake was very amusing.\n\n\"What goes around comes around sis,\" Mark chirped cockily from the waters edge.\n\n\"Men,\" she huffed miserably, but she was noticeably just playing around.\n\nMark had had enough of the ice like lake and decided to get out. He placed his paws on the ground and pushed himself free of the chilly embrace. One leg after the other was pulled out and each of his foot paws were placed back on terra firma. His clothes clung to him like a wetsuit, moulding perfectly around his figure. His fur was flat against his body and it made him look as if he had just been on a crash diet. He looked down at himself and sighed with a smile. There weren't many park users today, so he figured he might as well take his t-shirt off. It was a struggle, but with determination and a few seconds of looking like a headless moron, he finally managed to get it up his upper body and over his head. He threw it to the grass and let the sun start drying it.\n\nHe didn't regret wearing jeans because he hated shorts and soggy jeans were better than dry shorts any day, although they were pretty uncomfortable right now. Only his sister, whom had seen him naked many times anyway, and his ten-year-old cousin were in the immediate vicinity. 'It's no big deal, so Josh will see me in my underwear, he's only ten for crying out loud, what difference is it going to make to him?' Mark thought to himself. He came to the conclusion that Josh wouldn't even notice as at his age there wasn't a lot for him to see through black cotton fabric. Besides, even with Hazel looking so sexy with wet hair and fur, the cold water had pretty much killed his sex drive and made getting an erection almost impossible.\n\nWith that in mind he removed his shoes, which were fully irrigated and took off his socks, throwing them on the grass to dry with his t-shirt. He then proceeded to strip off his trousers, pulling them down to his ankles then kicking them off. They too joined the pile of his clothes on the ground, each new addition making a wet plop. He sat down a little way away from the lakes edge and lay down with his back against the soft green grass. He sprawled out his limbs to get an even amount of sunlight on them. The baking hot sun got straight to work drying his sopping wet fur. He rested his head in the paws and smiled contently, feeling the warmth flow over him.\n\nNeither Josh nor Hazel had been paying any attention to Mark. Hazel swam up to the embankment where Josh still was sat with an inane grin on his muzzle. She clung onto the ground and paddled with her feet to stay floating. She looked at Josh strictly, darkening her eyes as if she were angry with him. Of course, being only a child, young Joshua thought she was being serious. His ears flattened against his head and he adverted his gaze from his older cousin. His expression was solemn and his little paws were squeezing on each other like somebody trying the wring out a towel.\n\nHazel had every right to pick the wolfox up and throw him in that lake as well. The only thing that stopped her was Josh's inability to swim yet. She knew he had had lessons, but she also knew that he nearly drowned two year previous. He was terrified of water for a while after the incident and wouldn't go near even a small pond. Luckily for him, he had a kind and devoted mother that slowly introduced him to the idea of swimming again. Still, he wasn't very good at it and an experience like being thrown or even forcefully lowered into a lake could be too traumatic. This was why she was giving him a hard time, not matter how fake, a bit of payback never went amiss.\n\n\"And what do you have to say for yourself?\" She asked in her most unimpressed and motherly tone. She felt guilty and cruel for doing this to him, nevertheless it was for his own good.\n\n\"Sorry,\" he mumbled meekly.\n\n\"Thank you.\" She commended him. \"You're just lucky I don't dunk you in this lake and see how you like looking like a drowned rat,\" she smiled humorously. Josh giggled childishly, grinning now that he saw Hazel wasn't angry with him.\n\n\"But it doesn't stop me from doing this!\" She yelled in exhilaration. Josh had not time at all to react as Hazel cupped some of the clear shinning liquid and threw it over him. He squealed as the water made contact with his body and made a little silly laugh as more was sent his way. He flipped over onto all fours and tried desperately to scrabble away. Hazel simple stretched her arm and caught a hold of his ankle. Josh shrieked gaily as a firm grip was applied to his ankle and any chance of his escape was halted. It didn't stop him from trying though. Sadly his lean frame and practically non-existent muscles didn't get him further than Hazel would allow. When he grew tired, Hazel seized her moment and dragged him towards her. He cried out for mercy, yet his cries fell on death foxy ears.\n\n\"Nu uh, you're my prey little wolfox and you are not escaping because I'm feeling hungry,\" she grinned evilly as the small child wrestled against her grasp.\n\n\"Mark help! Hazel's going to eat me!\" He screamed helplessly, fully immersed in this fantasy world of hers.\n\nThe teen fox had been watching from the sidelines in great amusement. It was not uncommon for all three of them to play like this. Being three of them, one always had to be on their own and it was usually Hazel as she was the oldest. Sometimes he would be on his own in their play fights, but he didn't mind at all. Mark recollected one time when they both ganged up on poor Joshua and tickle tortured him. He could have felt a bit silly doing this kind of thing now that he was a teenager, yet the thought never even occurred to him. Seconds after Josh's initial cry for help, Mark was up on his furry feet and running to the rescue. He got there just in the nick of time as Hazel was about to chow down on wolfox.\n\n\"Let my cousin go now sea hag or suffer the consequences,\" Mark demanded in his hero voice.\n\n\"How are you going to make me?\" Hazel questioned him with a smirk.\n\n\"Hurry Mark, please!\" Josh pleaded again, still trying the claw his way forwards.\n\nMark mimicked Hazel's expression as he had the perfect idea already selected. He lowered himself to his sister's level and sat slightly back on his haunches. He gave a fleeting glance in Josh's direction to make sure he was not looking. Then he quickly leaned in and kissed Hazel on the lips. It wasn't a nippy peck either. Their mouths were in contact for a good five seconds before he broke away. Hazel was more in shock than anything else and not simply because he did that in public with their little cousin only arms length away. They hadn't kissed properly in a week. A full seven days had passed and Mark had not even displayed a remote amount of interest in her. She was frozen solid, her face fixed with a stunned look. Her grip on Josh's ankle loosened just enough for him to slip free and escape.\n\n\"That's how,\" Mark whispered, a certain amount of allure in his voice.\n\n\"Yay, I'm free!\" The excitable kit called out.\n\n\"You know it Josh,\" Mark said as he stood to face him.\n\nHazel was left in a daze of confusion and lust. She could feel a burning desire rise within her body that threatened to boil the very water she resided in. She longed for his touch, to be held by him, to kiss him, to have him and make love with him. The vixen licked her lips a little. His taste still dwelled on them. She couldn't help drifting off into a daydream fantasy world where only she and her brother were allowed. Her paw moved elegantly to her inner thighs and stroked at the drenched jeans separating her from pleasure. She hummed at the glowing white-hot embers that sparked new yearnings of satisfaction. What really didn't help was Mark's current appearance. His young teenage figure was accentuated by his wet fur and tight boxer shorts. She new what lay beneath those confinements. She knew every inch of him under there intimately. It was only her conscious mind that kept her from sliding that paw underneath her trousers and panties and pawing off right then and there. She had to overcome her youthful urges and subdue her desire, for now at least.\n\nWith a deep breath to centre herself and a heavy sigh of disappointment, she raised herself out of the lake. Taking her clothes off wasn't even a viable option for Hazel. She did have two something's she needed to hide and exposing herself in front of Joshua may be a bit too much. She would have to make do with cold clingy clothes for a while. Hazel rolled over onto the grass while the other two played around, doing whatever it was that they wanted to do.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*\n\nAn hour flew by easily for everyone involved. Hazel had joined in the games about fifteen minutes after she had exited the lake. It was not easy to wear Josh out. He had been running around chasing and being chased in various different games and still wasn't out of energy. Mark and Hazel could have called it a day, but they had plenty of get-up-and-go left, they were enjoying it immensely as well anyway. Hazel's clothes had mostly dried out; they still felt wet in some places, yet she couldn't complain. Having been laid of the grass and spread out for the sun, Mark's clothes were bone dry again. As a result, he was now wearing them.\n\n\"Lets go to the play area,\" Josh suggested actively.\n\n\"Okay, but on one condition?\" Hazel asked motherly.\n\n\"What?\" Josh questioned inquisitive of what the condition was.\n\n\"I get to push you on the swing set,\" she smiled warmly.\n\n\"Deal!\" Josh's face lit up like a light bulb.\n\nHazel held out her left paw for her cousin to take. He grinned coyly and grasped onto her. Hazel then felt something wrap around her right paw. She looked over to her right and saw Mark standing beside her. She stared at his smiling face quizzically then looked down to see he had taken her paw in his. She made a timid grin because of his public display of affection. It wasn't like him to be so open in the community. In fact, she wasn't even sure if she really wanted to be taking it so casual. However, she couldn't help but think that any passer-bys that see them holding paws will simply think they are doing it because of Joshua. Anyway, people aren't that watchful, as long as they didn't know the two foxes were brother and sister then they could just be boyfriend and girlfriend. Hazel squeezed her brother's paw affectionately, telling him in her own way that she liked what he was doing.\n\nIn a long chain the three furs advanced onwards further into the park. The play area was the other side of the park further east. Having been there enough times they knew all the shortcuts to everywhere by cutting through the various wooded areas. Whichever way you went in this park was the scenic route. It didn't matter if you stuck to the path or cut through the forests. Each way would provide just as much visual stimulation as the other.\n\nAfter a trek through a woodland area the trio found their way to the play area of the park. It was the largest in town and was usually well populated by children and teens alike. Grass fields surrounded the area and surrounding the fields were trees. There were several dirt paths into the region extending from all sides, although somebody could get to it through the trees like the furry threesome have. The play area perimeter was made up of a hip level metal fence. Inside this barrier were an assortment of climbing frames, jungle Jims, slides and swings all with the singular purpose to amuse park patrons. Even within the boundaries of the initial fence, the play area was split up into three sections. When walking in from the main gate all the climbing frames and assorted apparatus were directly in the centre in the main area. Off to each side were two smaller sections, each with a swing set containing four swings.\n\n\"Come on you guys!\" Josh called to his cousins, running and swinging open the gate.\n\n\"Alright we're coming already,\" Hazel yelled back smiling. She looked around the playground, surveying the area. To her surprise she found that there weren't many people or furs using the premises. There was a mother and small child on a climbing frame and a family of four sat down eating at one of the picnic tables. She then spied two familiar looking furs using the swings in the west boundary as seats. One was a male black wolf and the other was a female cat that was a distinctly greyish colour.\n\n\"Hey, isn't that Jimmy and Mist?\" Hazel pointed out to her brother.\n\nMark looked where she was pointing and narrowed his eyes, as they were a fair distance away. They were indeed Jimmy the wolf and Mist the cat. Mark gulped at the mere sight of them. He hadn't seen or heard from Mist for a week now, which was to be expected. He was glad Jimmy was there with her because he knew he'd be a good source of comfort, but in saying that it also meant that he knew the full story. He gulped harder this time and silently regretted coming to the park today.\n\n\"Well?\" Hazel asked, prodding him with a finger because he seemed to have drifted off.\n\n\"Uh... yeah,\" he replied meekly. And just when he thought things were on the up.\n\n\"Go on, I know how much you want to go over and say hello. Don't worry, I can look after Josh by myself, go say hi to your friends,\" Hazel told Mark with a nudge in their direction.\n\nShe really didn't have a clue did she? Going over and saying a simply hello to his 'friends' shouldn't have been as harrowing as it was to Mark. He had purposefully avoided all contact with them for this past week. Not just because he was depressed and didn't feel much like going outside, but also because he didn't want to have to face up to them nor did he want to face up to the decision he made a while back. Another nudge was sent his way from his sister and he knew as fact he couldn't say he didn't want to because then Hazel would know for sure something was up. He seemed to have gotten away with not seeing Mist after many days of visiting and being visited by her. If Hazel knew there was something going on then, she was hiding it pretty well. Maybe it was because his sister trusted him, which only made the sting more painful.\n\nA reluctant step in their direction was the first of many he would soon be taking. He looked on in agony as each footstep only brought him closer to impending damnation. A magnetic force repelled him away from them, as they became a clearer picture. Mist was sat limply on a swing, gripping the chains at her sides loosely with her paws. Her head was hung slightly lower than usual and her expression was none to pleasing. The black wolf Jimmy was on the swing next to her in a similar sort of position. He was looking over at her and although Mark could not hear what he was saying, Jimmy was obviously speaking to her. Neither of them looked happy and that was a task in itself for those two. Jimmy was rarely sad and Mist was usually a generally cheerful fur, it wasn't often she would become upset with anything.\n\nMark felt his guts twist into a tight knot and he felt quite like throwing up. He was sheer metres away before he was noticed. Jimmy looked over at him and Mark froze on the spot. He was truly unsure of what kind of reception he would be receiving, although he did have a fair idea. He attempted a weak smile at his friend, but received none in return. Jimmy looked away from him and over to Mist again, who was still staring at the ground. Mark's expression faded rapidly and a look of solemn regret marred his muzzle. He stepped closer to them, the awkward feeling beginning to rise even higher.\n\n\"Please leave Mark...\" Mist said lowly to the bark chippings that covered the ground.\n\n\"I just want to talk,\" he murmured pitifully.\n\n\"You've said everything you needed to say to me last week... just leave me alone,\" Mist spoke softly, still not looking up at him.\n\nMark stepped closer once more wanting to try and fix this. Jimmy rose immediately from his seating position and glared at the orange furred fox. Mark's ears flattened completely against his head now and his tail tucked slightly in between his legs when he looked over at Jimmy. This was hurting even more than he thought it would. Mark's heart ached and his stomach threatened to expel the sandwiches he had eaten for lunch. It wasn't merely the thought that he had converted friends into enemies that made him feel so bad. It was also the thought of the pain and suffering he had caused Mist.\n\n\"I-I'm sorry Mist... I-I really am... it's just... I never wanted to hurt you...\" Mark tried to sum up all his courage to stop himself from curling into a ball and crying.\n\n\"Leave...\" Mist said with a low growl.\n\n\"It's complicated Mist... I just didn't to want see you hurt...\" he persisted in his diminutive tone.\n\n\"What the fuck do you think you have done then Mark?!\" Mist abruptly thrust up from the swing and looked he former lover right in the eyes whilst shouting at him.\n\nMark could see her eyes were bloodshot and glistening with tears, but also the burning flames of rage. Those were not the eyes he remembered... so full of sadness and anger. Her bared white fangs and aggressive stance complemented her rage well. She looked just about ready to rip him to shreds. He had done this to her... he had broken her heart into a thousand pieces as carelessly as if it were nothing more than sand slipping through his fingers. He hardly recognised her in this state... this was not the beautiful girl he had fallen in love. He had tainted her soul and drained the good out of her like some kind of emotional vampire.\n\n\"I-I... I didn't mean to...\" he replied faintly, his lips quivering.\n\n\"You didn't mean to? So it wasn't your intention to rip my heart out with your bare paws? It wasn't your intention to tell me you love me then kill the part of me that cared? It wasn't your intention to destroy my happiness?\" She asked angrily, a growl concealed behind her teeth.\n\nHow could Mark answer those questions? Of course it never was his intention to do any of those things, but it doesn't change the simple fact that he did do them. Tears now began to well up in his eyes and slowly trickle down his cheeks.\n\n\"I loved you Mark... more than you could ever know...\" Mist finally uttered through a choked throat. She turned her back on him and placed her head in her paws, running off towards the gate.\n\n\"Mist wait!\" Mark called. He tried to run after her, but found himself being held back. He swivelled his head round to see Jimmy holding onto his shoulders.\n\n\"She said leave her alone Mark,\" he said simply.\n\n\"Jimmy please,\" he pleaded with him desperately.\n\nHe just shook his head and held onto his shoulders more firmly. Mark could feel fury in his grip and silently thanked Jimmy for not having a go at him; god knows he deserved it. Mark had to watch as Mist slowly disappeared into the distance, still running and more than likely still crying. He couldn't keep looking; he couldn't stand here and do nothing. His mind was made up.\n\n\"Forgive me my friend...\" Mark whispered to Jimmy behind him. In one simple thrust he sent his back crashing into the wolf's stomach. Jimmy's grasp loosened as he craned forward and held onto his abdomen, groaning in pain. Mark seized his chance and darted from the spot, kicking up bark as he did. He crashed through the small gate and ran as fast as he could down the path Mist had traversed. He already had a good idea where she would be heading.\n\nJimmy stood back up from his hunched position, one arm still cradling his belly. He sighed, as there was little point in chasing after him. He knew all to well that even if he did manage to catch up with him and stop him, Mark would find a way to escape. Sure he was angry at the fox for breaking the heart of a good friend, but he believed everything Mark said when he was talking to Mist. He had known Mark for years and he knew very well that he truly did not mean it. He was too kind to hurt anyone willingly.\n\n\"Hey Jimmy,\" came a call disrupting the wolf from his thoughts.\n\nHis ears flicked actively in the direction of the feminine voice. He twisted his body around to face the vixen walking towards him. He easily identified her as Hazel and also recognized the young wolfox in tow as well. She had a quizzical look on her face whilst Josh had a more baffled expression.\n\n\"Oh, hey Hazel, sup Josh,\" he gave a small wave to the small greyish fur.\n\n\"What's up with Mark and Mist?\" She asked curiously.\n\n---\n\nEnd of Part 1" } ]

You can stop the launch.\" Kazuki Takahashi said.\n\n\" So where are the card keys?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"Obata should have them. Listen you need three card keys in all. I think they are holding him just below us on the second basement floor.\" Kazuki Takahashi said and then handed me a card. \" Here, take my I.D card. It'll open any level three-security door. It's called a P.A.N. (Personal area network) card. It works together with your body's own electrical field.\n\n\" Personal area network huh?\" Lazz asked as he took the card.\n\n\" It transmits data using the salts in your body as the transmission medium. As you approach the door's security devices, they'll read the data stored on the card, and the doors will open automatically.\" Kazuki Takahashi said.\n\n\"Ok let's get you out of here.\" Lazz said as he put away his drawing and walked to the ventilation shaft he came from.\n\n\"Wait, do the D.E.O. plan to give in to the terrorist's demands and what about the pentagon!?\" Kazuki Takahashi asked, but then he suddenly grabbed his chest in pain and screamed. Shortly there after, he fell to the ground and died.\n\nLazz saw this and jumped into the ventilation shaft quickly. He placed the vent back over the opening and watched as griffin soldiers engulfed the room. They were all wondering what had just happened and so was Lazz. Then they all ran out of the room and carried the body with them. Lazz didn't know what they were up to, but he had no further use in him anyway, he had gotten all the information that he needed and was ready to move on with his mission.\n\nOPENING:\n\nI guess I'm just trying to thank you? Revealing only little bits of honesty. As days go by we run away, by blaming someone else. For starters, I'm sorry...goodbye! I want to hold you even when you're gone. Please tell me what love and friendship mean! Someday you will present the key to my heart. I want to hold you even when you're gone. Please tell me what love and friendship mean! The door to my heart is shut. Waiting for you. That's good enough for me. Believing in tomorrow!\n\nDragon Storm\n\nCHAPTER 12: Quicksilver's Silver Shadow!\n\nLazz just watched as the Darpa Chief was taken away by the genome griffin soldiers. Lazz began to ponder what was going on. He knew that this was going to be a dangerous mission, but this was nothing that his commanding officer told him about. Sure some of the things that Quicksilver told him were true, but the other half was never explained or even mentioned. Lazz crawled through the ventilation shafts narrow passageways and found his way out. He popped out of the shafts again and this time he found an elevator and walked inside. He took the elevator down to where the Darpa chief said they were keeping the president of dragon's tech. As the elevator moved slowly down ward, Lazz used his codec to call HQ (Head Quarters).\n\n\"Kilala the chief! What happened!?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"I...I don't know! It looked like a heart attack, but...\" Kilala said.\n\n\"A heart attack? No.\" Quicksilver said.\n\n\"Quicksilver, are you hiding something from me?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\" Absolutely not Lazz. You've got to understand. This op is security level red. You need the highest security clearance to get access to the complete file.\" Quicksilver stated.\n\n\" You want me to believe that you're in charge of this op, but you don't even have complete access to the file.!?\" Lazz said.\n\n\" I told you the Secretary of Defense is in operational control. I'm just here as your support....\" Quicksilver said.\n\n\"I don't remember you saying anything like that.\" Lazz said.\n\n\"..........................................\" Quicksilver said nothing.\n\n\"Quicksilver...\" Lazz said.\n\n\" Lazz. We don't have time to debate. Get out of there and find the president of Dragon's tech.\" Quicksilver said.\n\n\"Be careful Lazz. There seems to be strong psychometric interference somewhere from above you.\" Kilala said.\n\n\"........ok. I will.\" Lazz said.\n\nWith that said Lazz watched as the elevator doors opened and he walked out. He was now in the second floor basement. It was dimly lit and there were more griffin soldiers. Lazz noticed that some of them were asleep while the others watched the area. They must have been taking turns. Lazz also saw that there was a small armory storage room. Lazz Used a chaff grenade to jam anything he might not have saw and then took off his gear and used his G.O.N. to hide. As the griffin soldiers approached the gear that Lazz took off, Lazz blasted a mint-green fireball that hit all of them and he watched, as they burned alive. Being this far underground no one could here them scream as they burned to death. And with the chaff grenade he threw none of their equipment was functional either. Lazz grabbed his gear and proceeded on ward.\n\nWhen Lazz entered the next room he was in shock. There in front of him was the president of Dragon's tech Takeshi Obata. He was tied up while standing in the middle of C-4 placed everywhere around him. There were four metal pillars in the room and wire was coming from each one. He looked to be unconscious at the moment. However just then he regained consciousness and started to panic. Lazz looked around the room in confusion and returned his gaze back to him.\n\n\" I hope I am not too late. You're the Dragon's tech president Takeshi Obata aren't you? The real one I hope!\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"ughghuun\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Don't worry, I'm here to save you.\" Lazz said and reached for his KM 2000 combat knife and approached the wire.\n\n\"Noooooo...... don't touch it.\" Takeshi Obata said and pointed at a C-4 with his tail.\n\n\"C-4?\" Lazz questioned.\n\n\"Right. Touch that wire and the C-4 will blow up along with the real Takeshi Obata!\"\n\nJust then a voice came from behind one of the metal pillars and it echoed in the room. Suddenly a bullet shot was made and Lazz reacted by jumping back, thus avoiding the shot. The way the room and the metal pillars were all set up there was no way for anyone to shot a bullet directly. There were four metal pillars near each corner of the small room, and one giant metal pillar in the center of the room. That center pillar is where the president of Dragon's tech was tied. With the metal pillars and the many, many wires connecting them all together, there was no way a direct bullet could be shot unless you knew how to ricochet the bullet off the wall. Lazz knew whom the voice belonged to now.\n\n\"Wild Horn!\" Lazz said.\n\n\"I've been waiting for you Lazz!\" Wild Horn said and blew the tip of his revolver handgun to blow off the smoke and hid behind one of the metal pillars.\n\n\"You're a tricky one Wild Horn, you nearly got me killed last I encountered you. That was some plan.\" Lazz said.\n\n\"Yes. It's true I did plan this all out...\n\n(Flashback: An earlier event, before Rio and Lazz's arrival)\n\n\"If I know Quicksilver as good as I think I do then he will be sending our old friend Lazz to ruin our plans.\" Rock Lizard stated.\n\n\"What will you have us do boss?\" War Wolf said.\n\n\"...................\" Rock Lizard said nothing.\n\n\"Sir please allow me, I have a plan that can kill Lazz. All I require is Tiger Wanghu and Thunder Pegasus. With the three of us working together we can beat Him.\" Wild Horn said.\n\n\"...... Very well. Thunder Pegasus, Tiger Wanghu follow Wild Horn's plan. General Andal place your griffin soldiers where you see fit. May do as your father instructs you to do. Cross Wing stay near here and snipe anything that looks unusual. War Wolf come with me. Everyone move out!\n\n\"May come, we must prepare for the enemy. Don't be afraid to give orders to your fellow griffins.\" General Andal said.\n\n\"I...I... understand.... Father.....thank you.\" May said.\n\n\" See you losers later.\" Cross Wing said and flew away.\n\nWar Wolf and Rock Lizard walked elsewhere while Wild Horn, Tiger Wanghu, and Thunder Pegasus walked another way.\n\n(Griffin strong hold side gate)\n\n\"Alright, Tiger Wanghu wait here for Lazz in the event Thunder Pegasus doesn't hold true to his role.\" Wild Horn said.\n\n\"Ok, but what do I do?\" Tiger Wanghu asked.\n\n\"Kill Lazz however you see fit.\" Wild Horn said.\n\n\"Tell me what I should do Wild Horn. I will prove to you I can fulfill my role in your plan.\" Thunder Pegasus said.\n\n\"Follow me.\" Wild Horn said.\n\n(Griffin Stronghold building A, In front of the large spinning platform room.)\n\n\"Ok What now?\" Thunder Pegasus asked.\n\n\"Use your G.O.N. to cast a illuision on your aura and make it seem as though you are the president of Dragon's Tech, I will then presume to question you about things to make it seem like you are the real Takeshi Obata.\" Wild Horn explained.\n\n\"I see. Alright this should work.\" Thunder Pegasus said.\n\n\"Don't reveal your self until you run away and catch Lazz off guard ok?\" Wild Horn said.\n\n\"No problem!\" Thunder Pegasus said.\n\n(Flash forward: Griffin stronghold, second basement floor)\n\n\"And so here you are. Right where I expected you to be.\" Wild Horn stated.\n\n\"Surely me bringing Rio put a dent in those plans in someway.\" Lazz said.\n\n\"I will admit he did. However you won't have to worry about him anymore.\" Wild Horn said.\n\n\" So here we are again, the way you wanted it to go the first time around. I assume since I killed Thunder Pegasus that this is the real President of Dragon's Tech?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\" Yes. Now will we see the dragon live up to the legend. Rock Lizard told me all about your impressive victories back when you were in BLACKFANG.\" Wild Horn said.\n\n\"I am not a hero, if that is what you're getting at.\" Lazz said.\n\n\"Hmph. This is the greatest handgun ever made. The colt single action army. Six bullets, more then enough to kill anything that moves.\" Wild Horn said as he reloaded and put his handgun back in its holster.\n\n\"Is that so... \" Lazz said.\n\n\"DRAW!!\" Wild Horn shouted.\n\nJust then Wild Horn drew his revolver and shot one bullet at the wall and it bounced off and headed for Lazz, then Wild Horn toke cover behind one of the metal pillars. Lazz saw a spark of light hit the wall and dived to the ground.\n\n\"Great. He really did think this through. He's got me trapped. I can't use any of my weapons since they will cause an explosion and kill everyone in this room. While he on the other hand can take cover from behind the metal pillar and ricochet the bullets at me off the walls. My fire won't help me either, and if I let Takeshi Obata die then I will fail my mission. Alright, I have an idea, but it will take some time.\" Lazz thought.\n\n\"You can't dodge them all your not Rio!\" Wild Horn said.\n\nSuddenly, Wild Horn shot again at Lazz by ricocheting it off the wall. Lazz saw another flash of light and rolled over to avoid it, then he toke cover behind a metal pillar. Just then another shot was made, but Lazz could not react fast enough and got hit on the right arm.\n\n\"AAHHHHHHHHGGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!\" Lazz screamed.\n\nJust then Lazz fell to the ground on one knee in pain and toke his KM2000 and plied the bullet out and kept it, then he used the knife to slice off one of his talons, just enough to miss the vain and with that the small talon fell off and Lazz picked it up. After that he heard another shot and jumped into the air, then Wild Horn shot once more and Lazz used his tail to grab a hold of the metal pillars chain linked like structure and pulled himself to the ground quickly and made a mad dash at Wild Horn. As Lazz approached Wild Horn he shot his last bullet at Lazz and started to reload. Lazz deliberately took the bullet to the stomach and exhaled a mint-green fireball at Wild Horn and he evaded it. Lazz wanted him to evade however, now Lazz trapped Wild Horn. Lazz sliced at Wild Horn, however Wild Horn dodged and finished reloading his revolver. Wild Horn pointed the revolver at Lazz and attempted to shoot at point blank, however Lazz grabbed his revolver by the handle and they both struggled for it. The handgun went off twice before Lazz finally over powered Wild Horn and took the revolver. Just then Wild Horn pulled out his second handgun and fired two bullets at Lazz and hit him. Lazz ran away and toke cover behind a metal pillar and Wild Horn did the same.\n\nIf he thinks he can play my game and match my moves he won't last for long. As it stands Lazz has my first revolver handgun that only has four bullets left and I have my second revolver that also has four shots left. However... Something is wrong. I have shot him enough times to kill him... so why is he still alive?\" Wild Horn thought to himself.\n\n\"If you are wondering how I am still alive... It's because I have this.\" Lazz shouted as he took off the griffin uniform and revealed his bulletproof vest.\n\nWild Horn turned his head around the metal pillar to see Lazz and saw he his bulletproof vest. It must have protected him from all the shots so far. Just then he seen Lazz quickly point up his revolver and fire a shot at him. Wild Horn quickly turned his face behind the pillar to dodge the bullet.\n\n\"That was a dirty trick Lazz.\" Wild Horn shouted.\n\nJust then, Wild Horn fired off two more shots that crossed each other and ricocheted off the wall. Lazz Dived on the ground again and shot one bullet at Wild Horn. Wild Horn took cover and the bullet hit the metal pillar, then Wild Horn shot at the ceiling and the bullet ricocheted straight down at Lazz on the ground. Lazz backed away, but he let go of the revolver he was holding in order to do so, Lazz then took cover again. Wild Horn dashed out to grab the gun on the ground and fired his last bullet in his revolver at Lazz. Lazz jumped up and kicked off the metal pillar and ran to the next pillar and took cover.\n\n\"Your pretty good Lazz! I have never had this much fun before!!\" Wild Horn shouted.\n\nLazz was now bleeding heavily from his bullet wound on his right arm. His crimson red blood ran down his arm and dripped off of his knuckles. Wild Horn put his empty revolver away and pointed the one he picked up at the wall behind Lazz. Wild Horn shot a bullet at that wall and Lazz hoped right out of the way, then Wild Horn shot again and hit Lazz's left leg. Lazz dropped to the floor in pain and watched as Wild Horn took aim and pressed the trigger for his last shot. Suddenly, Wild Horn's revolver blew up in his hand.\n\n\"AGAHAHGHGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!\" Wild Horn screamed.\n\nWild Horn fell to the ground and screamed more. He didn't know what was going on. When he looked up Lazz was in front of him struggling to stand on an injured leg and his right arm drooped down motionless covered in blood. As he held his KM2000 combat knife out toward Wild Horn with his left hand.\n\n\"It's... over...Wild Horn\" Lazz said out of breath and in pain.\n\n\"What.... What happened?! I.. don't get it!!\" Wild Horn screamed at Lazz.\n\n\"It's simple really. When I took your revolver earlier I reloaded it for you.\" Lazz said.\n\n\"That doesn't make any sense at all!!!!!!\" Wild Horn shouted.\n\nLazz watched as Wild Horn screamed at the top of his lungs and bleed massively on the floor. He noticed that he was missing one of his golden horns on top of his head. He figured that Rio must have done that to him. That explains why he was keeping his distance.\n\n\"Well?!\" Wild Horn said.\n\n\"Look inside your revolver if you want to know.\" Lazz said.\n\nWild Horn did just that. When he looked inside the chamber, he found a small jagged talon.\n\n\"What's this?\" Wild Horn asked.\n\n\"It's my talon I inserted into the chamber earlier when I reloaded your revolver for you. I never said what I reloaded the gun with.\" Lazz said firmly.\n\nWild Horn stood up and dropped the handgun.\n\n\"Good move.... Lazz. I never would have thought of a backfire.\" Wild Horn said.\n\nLazz approached Wild Horn and tried to slice him, but Wild Horn used his first revolver to block it and kicked Lazz to the ground and dashed out of the room and escaped quickly.\n\n\"Damn him!\" Lazz said and then plied out the bullet in his leg with his knife and used his fire breath to close his wounds shut.\n\nLazz then untied the president of Dragon's Tech and struggled him over to the wall. Lazz then pulled out some first aid he had in his backpack and started to treat himself.\n\n\"Can you talk?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"Who are you?\" Takeshi Obata asked.\n\n\" I'm not one of them. The Darpa chief told me he gave them his denotation code. What about yours?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"Oh, I get it your working for the pentagon.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Answer my question!\" Lazz demanded.\n\n\" What about your code?! There's no time!\" Lazz said as he proceeded to treat himself.\n\n\" I... talked.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"What! Now the terrorists have both codes and can launch anytime!\" Lazz said.\n\n\" It's not like I didn't fight. I managed to resist War Wolf's mind probe.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\" He couldn't read you?! How did you do that?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"Surgical implants in my brain.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Surgical implants?\" Lazz questioned.\n\n\" Kind of like a psychic insulation. Everyone who knows these top-secret codes has it.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Even the Darpa chief?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"Of coarse.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\" But the Darpa chief said War Wolf got his code by reading his mind.\" Lazz said.\n\n\"................... I don't know.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\" In that case, how did they get your code?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\" I never had any training on how to resist torture.... \" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\" What happened to your arm?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"He broke it.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\" Well your more then even with him now, since his blew up.\" Lazz said.\n\n\" Very funny. So the Darpa chief.... Is he ok?\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Dead.\" Lazz stated.\n\n\" What?!\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Anyway they have both codes now.\" Lazz said as he finished up with his treatments.\n\n\" Those guys are insane. They wouldn't hesitate to launch.... \" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\" I agree, but what do they really want?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\" Who knows, they are most likely like us in the Dragon's industry.... Always looking forward to the next war.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Anyway, do you still have the card key?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\" Card keys?\" Takeshi Obata asked.\n\n\"To override the detonation code! I heard you had them....\" Lazz said.\n\n\" No, not anymore.... \" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\" What!? Who dose then? Not the terrorists!? \" Lazz panicked.\n\n\" No. That griffin.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\" Griffin? Who? \" Lazz asked.\n\n\" That female griffin that can heal others using her G.O.N.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"All the griffin soldiers I've seen have been male.\" Lazz said as he put away his first aid supplies and took out his sketching supplies and began to use shading to make his picture better.\n\n\" She said that she was new here and she is the daughter of the griffin general Andal.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\" A female griffin that's new here?\" Lazz said.\n\n\"I gave her the card key.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Ok. Where is she now?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"I don't know... try calling her using codec.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Ok... fine. What frequency was she at?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\" Oh it's.... oh sorry .... I forgot. \" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Damn it! Ok, but tell me if this doesn't work, is there some other way to prevent the nuclear launch?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"You need to find Carl kurotsuchi, one of my employees.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Who's that?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\" He is the team leader of the Pseudo-chimera \"Adult\" Project. A genius at engineering, but a little of an oddball. If there is anyone who can figure out how to stop Pseudo-chimera Adult's nuclear launch.... It's him.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"What if he can't come up with anything?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\" You'll have to destroy it! Carl Kurotsuchi knows how to destroy it!\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Where is this Kurotsuchi guy anyway?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"Well.... He is probably being held somewhere in the..... Nuclear warhead storage building. \" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"I understand, but why all the nuclear weapons? I thought that the Nuclear Age ended with the turn of the millennium.\" Lazz stated.\n\n\" Oh, you're wrong. The threat of nuclear war isn't gone..... In fact it's greater then it's ever been! The amount of spent nuclear fuel and plutonium is increasing even today. Listen have you ever seen a warehouse full of nuclear material?\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"No.\" Lazz replied and proceeded to shade his picture.\n\n\"Drum and drums of nuclear waste stacked to the ceiling high. As far as you can see.... Because there is still no real way to dispose of the stuff.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"So they just close the lid and try to pretend it will go away?\" Lazz implied.\n\n\"Essentially, yes. And they are not even doing a good job of storing it. Many of the drums are corroded, with nuclear waste seeping out of them.\" Takeshi Obata explained.\n\n\"Unbelievable!! \" Lazz remarked as he put his hands on his face in shock.\n\n\" Not only that, but several pounds of M.U.F are reported every year.\" Takeshi Obata exclaimed.\n\n\"MUF?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"Yes. It stands for \"martial unaccounted for\". It proves that there's a large and .... Well-organized nuclear black market in nuclear materials. Furthermore, since the end of the cold War. Russian nuclear engineers, in particular, are out of work with nowhere to turn. In other words there is plenty of available nuclear martial and scientists.... For making a bomb. We live in a age where any small country can have a nuclear weapons program.\" Takeshi Obata explained.\n\n\"What about the other superpowers?\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"Russia and china still maintain a significant nuclear presence, complete nuclear disarmament is an impossibility. To maintain our own policy of deterrence, we need a weapon of overwhelming power!\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\" You mean Pseudo-chimera Adult right?\" Lazz implied.\n\n\"Yes. You know our industry has suffered greatly as a result of the cuts military budgets.... Due to this so-called \"peace\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"I remember hearing a lot about mergers and takeovers among the big weapons makers.\" Lazz said as he continued on his drawing.\n\n\" Yes. And after my company lost their bid to produce the air force's next line of fighter jet, the Pseudo-chimera Adult system was our last ace in the hole. That's why we pushed to have Adult Pseudo-chimera developed as a black project.\" Takeshi Obata said.\n\n\"Black Project?\" Lazz asked and stopped again, not believing what he was hearing.\n\n\"Yes. Secret projects paid for by the pentagon's black budget. You can avoid a lot of red tape and get a great lead-time on your weapons production, and no one can bother you. Not even those bleeding heart liberals on the military oversight committee. \" Takeshi Obata explained.\n\n\"Bribes.\" Lazz stated.\n\n\" I prefer to think of it as good business.... I....I....Uahgahaaghg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\" Takeshi screamed and passed away instantly.\n\n\"Hey snap out of it!!!\" Lazz yelled and put away his drawing and checked his pulse to find he had died.\n\n\"This is Lazz!! Come in!!\" Lazz yelled into his codec.\n\n\"Yes Lazz....\" Quicksilver said.\n\n\"Are you listening? Now he's dead too!!\" Lazz stated.\n\n\"I have no idea!\" Quicksilver said in an uncertain voice.\n\n\" Don't lie to me!!\" Lazz demanded.\n\n\" It looked like another heart attack, but...\" Kilala said.\n\n\"Some kind of poison!?\" Lazz implied.\n\n\"Well there are a lot of drugs that can cause heart attacks in large doses such as potassium chloride or dioxides.... But.... We won't be able to tell without doing an autopsy.\" Kilala said.\n\n\"DAMN!!\" Lazz yelled.\n\n\" Lazz! I want you to find May! She is the female griffin Takeshi Obata told you about. When you do I want you two to work together to destroy Project Pseudo-chimera Adult!\" Quicksilver said.\n\n\"What!? Can I trust her?!\" Lazz asked.\n\n\"More then you can trust me.\" Quicksilver said.\n\n\".....................\" Lazz had nothing to say to Quicksilver.\n\n\"Lazz! There's a lot of electrical interference from there.\" Eubanks stated.\n\n\"Lazz! Get a hold of yourself.... You have to believe in me if you want to get out of there alive!!\" Quicksilver said in a firm voice.\n\nLazz shut off his codec and stood there. He had mixed feelings about everything that was happening. He thought to himself about the deaths of the Darpa chief, Rio, and the Dragon's Tech president. He was all alone now and Quicksilver gave him an order to work together with the enemy. The way Lazz was looking at it, he had already failed in his mission.... So what was the point in going on any further?\n\nTo be continued......................\n\nAuthor's comment:\n\nWhat will Lazz do now? Or has he given up completely?

Basically, this is naughty. It's a fairy tale, yes, but some rather unorthodox things will no doubt happen to our plucky heroine before this document is through, not the least of which will be some explicit descriptions of female mammary glands blowing up like balloons. If the thought of that makes you shudder, turn back now. If you're sick like me and think that's awesome, read at your own risk.\nOnce upon a time there was a man who liked breasts. But unlike you, this man was a lonely widower who fell desperately in bed with the proudest, haughtiest and bustiest woman in all the town. Naturally, the first two stemmed from the last one. They were wed and she, in turn, brought with her two daughters from her previous marriage who were exactly like her in all things, right down to the D-cups.\nThe husband was, for his part, not without baggage. By his earlier marriage, he fathered a daughter, a girl who possessed all the golden qualities of her late mother, who was, despite what the bathroom wall said, a woman of unparalleled beauty, goodness and sweetness of temper--the best creature in the world. But, alas, the man foolishly married his first wife for love and not for her body; his daughter, therefore, was sweet, kind, beautiful and flat as Kansas.\nAlmost immediately after the ink dried on the pre-nup, the new wife began to show her darker side. For although the stepmother had a rack you could dry dishes on, she was incredibly jealous of the young pretty girl, who embodied all the qualities that she herself lacked. She also realized that, by contrast, this polite maiden was making her own girls look like the crass hussies they truly were. So, naturally, she did what any fairy-tale stepmother would do: She sentenced the girl to hard labor, forcing her to clean the dishes, tend to the animals, hand-squeeze fresh orange juice every day at the crack of dawn and fill out complicated insurance forms--not to mention waiting on her new family members hand and foot. Furthermore, the poor girl was banished to a straw bed in the attic while her stepsisters enjoyed lush bedrooms with down comforters, stocked wardrobes, full-length looking-glasses, exciting undergarments and their own private phones. She dared not tell her father of the mistreatments, as he was a slave to his bosomy fetish, and therefore henpecked and powerless against his new wife anyway.\nWhen the girl's chores were done, she would spend her scant free time warming herself by the fire, poking at the cinders and idly playing with the fireplace bellows. For this, the stepsisters cruelly (but cleverly) dubbed her Cindairella.\nNow, it happened that the King's son gave a ball, and invited all persons of quality to it. Our young ladies were also invited, for they had these great dresses that let them show off their best assets. They spent forever choosing their gowns, petticoats, corsets and, especially, their bustiers. This caused no end of trouble to Cindairella, because they made her iron the linen and pleat the ruffles and sew the WonderBras. Even though the stepsisters went on and on and made Cindairella's life a living hell, she gave them honest advice and tried her best to help, because, as we've said, she was sweet and good and, when all was said and done, a kindhearted pushover. \"Cindy, would you like to go to the ball?\" the eldest asked as the poor girl tended to her hair. \"Oh, of course, but I wouldn't think there's any chance in the world for me to go.\" \"You're right--there isn't,\" the stepsister responded. \"But we'd all have a good laugh trying to see you fill out one of our dresses.\" With that, she heaved her bosom so that it jiggled and wiggled magnificently, only amplified by the tight corset. If Cindairella had any sense at all, she would have lodged a hairpin into her stepsister's cerebral cortex, but this isn't that kind of story. Instead, she made her stepsisters exterior beauty equal their inner ugliness and hoped that a passing carriage might trample them into bloody pulps on their way to the ball.\nTwo days of starving themselves and preening about the looking glass had paid off; the time to leave for the ball had come, and the stepsisters looked spectacular. As they went to court, Cindairella followed them with her eyes as long as she could, and when she had lost sight of them, she fell a crying.\nHer godmother--oh, did we mention she's got a godmother?--her godmother, who saw her all in tears, asked her what was the matter. \"I wish I could...I wish I could...\" was all she managed to stammer before she fell a crying again. Her godmother--oh, did we mention her godmother was a fairy, too?--her godmother, who was a fairy, said to her, \"You wish you could go to the ball? Spit it out, dearie.\" \"Y-yes,\" said Cindairella, with a great sob that almost made her fall a crying again, but it turned out that it was less a fall and more of a stumble. \"Well,\" said her godmother--oh, did we mention that her godmother has enormous breasts? I mean, we're talking massive mammaries, the size of varying sports equipment--\"Well,\" she said, \"be a good girl and stop being a victim, and we'll see what we can arrange. Beer?\" The fairy godmother thrust a glass-encased malt beverage in Cindairella's direction, which the girl politely declined. \"More for me,\" the older woman laughed, opening the bottle with her teeth.\nThen she took Cindy into her chamber and said to her, \"Go into the garden and bring me a pompion.\" Cindairella ran to the garden but realized she had no fucking idea what a pompion was, so she headed to the fireplace instead and brought back the bellows--it was, after all, the only thing that brought her pleasure, and the only item in the house she was allowed to touch without prior permission anyway. When she returned, her godmother--who, with breasts so huge, could more appropriately be called a dairy godmother--saw the bellows and realized that Cindairella didn't know what a pompion was either. \"I said a pompion, not a pump--but whatever, we'll improvise,\" she muttered. Taking a few gulps from her beer for courage, she struck the bellows with her wand.\nA golden, magical sparkle--or was it a sparkly, golden magic?--encircled the object, and the bellows were overcome with gilt. The godmother grabbed the handles of the bellows and started pumping forcefully. Within moments an object began to emerge from the tip; as she continued to pump, the object swelled larger and larger, slowly taking the shape of a beautiful rounded carriage. It sparkled like a white pearlized party balloon--which, of course, it was. \"These inflated spheroid transports are much easier to create than the vegetable variety I used to use,\" she mused, as Cindairella looked on in awe.\nRealizing that there were no horses to draw the carriage, the fairy quickly pumped out a few long, sausage-style balloons and, a few twists and squeaks later, had created six horses to draw the carriage. \"Balloon animals, of course!\" beamed the godmother, and with a whiff from the bellows, brought them all to animated life. \"This carriage will do the job,\" she announced, \"but I would ditch the stiletto heels if I were you.\" Upon mentioning this, the now-airy godmother realized that Cindy wore no footwear at all and looked a shambles (not to be confused with a crying). With a wave of her wand, the godmother transformed Cindairella's tattered rags to a glistening gown, bedeck'd with rubies and sapphires. On her feet were sensible flats. \"I tried the 'glass slippers' bit once,\" her godmother explained, \"but believe me--one jitterbug and you'd be picking shards outta your feet for days,\"\nThe secular fairy, opening a Foster's, then said to Cindairella, \"Well, you've got the dress, the transport, safe shoes...you're equipped. Are we cool?\" \"Oh yes,\" said she, \"but for one exceedingly small equipage problem...\" Her voice trailed off as she glanced downward, for as her stepsisters had predicted, her breasts could not possibly fill the bust of the gown created for her. \"Fear not,\" the godmother smiled. \"You'll like this.\"\nThe godmother waved her wand and Cindairella's petticoats lifted as if by a strong and very determined breeze. The bellows then sprang to life, flying as if a bird, swooping beneath the layers and burrowing between Cindy's legs. As Cindy's face reflected her shock, the bellows began to work themselves back and forth, as they had so many times before. The feeling Cindairella was not accustomed to, however, was the sense of movement within her body, the feeling that she was herself a changing shape. As she glanced down, her breasts began to grow, pumping larger and larger with the air from the bellows, causing Cindairella to gasp just slightly and shudder quite noticeably. A tingle filled her body as the air filled her bosom. Larger she grew, surprised to see her own body inflating like a balloon, her chest growing larger with each moment. After some minutes, the bellows stopped their magic and Cindairella had been transformed into a busty hussy in waiting. The dress fit perfectly, and her breasts were perfectly enormous. She looked damned good.\nBeing thus dress'd out she got into her coach. But her godmother, above all things, commanded her not to stay beyond twelve o'clock at night, telling her at the same time, that if she stay'd at the ball one moment longer, her coach would deflate and her horses would revert to the hastily-created balloon animals they truly were. Furthermore, her godmother said--slowly, pointedly, and with the melodramatic flair usually reserved for old gypsy ladies in B movies and BE stories--\"Your dress will no longer fit. Trust me on this one.\" Cindairella looked at the godmother sideways, not getting the comment's meaning, then shrugged it off. She promised her godmother she would not fail of leaving the ball before midnight, and then departed not a little joyful at her good fortune(s).\nThe King's son, who was informed that a great Princess, whom they did not know, was come, ran out to receive her. His dark, wavy hair and rugged good looks made him the object of all female desire, but it was clear when Cindairella came to the carriage door that his own desires had suddenly been fulfilled. He gave her his shaky hand as she alighted out of the lightened coach, and led her into the hall where the company was. There was a great silence; they left off dancing, and the violins ceased to play, so attentive was every body to contemplate the, er, extraordinary beauties of this unknown person: there was heard nothing but a confused noise of \"Ha! How buxom she is,\" \"Ha! How bouncy she is\" and, said one small voice in the back, \"Ha! What a freak of nature.\" The King himself, as old as he was, could not help droo...uh, looking at her, and telling the Queen in a low voice, that it was a long time since that he had seen so beautiful and lovely a creature. The Queen didn't take shit from nobody, and promptly smack'd him with great force. All the ladies were busied in considering Cindairella's clothes--mainly, in how they could possibly fit over those colossal breasts--that they might have some made the next day after the same pattern, supposing they might get such fine materials, and as able hands to make them. Oh, and money to get them a few thousand CC's of saline implanted in themselves, too. But, hey, it was a nice thought and they enjoyed it.\nThe King's son, now sporting a haughty grin a mile wide, showed her to the most honourable place--in the ballroom, pervert, in the ballroom--and afterwards took her out to dance with him. She danced with so much gracefulness, bosom quivering and heaving with every swoop, dip and turn of the Macarena, that those in attendance all the more and more admired her. A fine collation was served up, of which the young Prince ate nothing, so much was he taken up in looking upon her. She went and set herself down by her sisters, and, having pretty much already had her revenge without a single word, showed them a thousand civilities. She gave them some of the oranges and lemons that the Prince had presented her with, thinking that they were hardly without the share of acid on their tongues already. Cindairella's generosity very much surprised them, for they did not know her in her inflated state. While she stood and gloated, basking in her moment of secret, fulfilling, overfilling triumph, Cindairella heard the clock strike twelve. Her eyes opened wide when she remembered her godmother's warning--she was on the verge of lateness, and had to escape before her ride deflated and...her dress no longer fit? \"If I get home, I won't have to worry,\" she thought, then immediately made a courtesy to the company and took off like a bat outta hell. But the dashing young Prince was not about to let such a good thing dash away, and he grabbed Cindairella's arm as she tried to flee. It was then that all in the room turned their eyes to the couple, and the sight they saw would be the talk of the realm the day following. Cindairella winced, and not because the Prince's hold was too firm. He saw her clutch to her chest and heard from within her a faint noise. Was it...a hissing? As he watched, now transfixed and unaware of his vice-like grip, Cindairella began to expand, her chest filling with magical air, pulling her dress tighter. As she felt herself inflating, Cindairella struggled, causing her bosom to quiver more and strain against the fabric. Stitches began to creak under the pressure, and Cindairella started to panic, for she truly did not know the outcome. Finally she broke free of the Prince's grasp and tore out of the hall like a bad cliché, leaving a room full of partygoers gasping in awe, and one Prince gasping with a severe case of blue balls.\nAs soon as she came home, Cindairella went to find her godmother to find out what had happened to her. \"I told you not to be late,\" scoffed the well-endowed fairy. \"You're lucky you got out of there when you did, or else...\" \"Or else what?\" asked Cindairella quite tenaciously. \"Or else,\" said the godmother, eyeing the young girl's ample bustline, \"well, let's just say that stitches weren't the only things that could have popped.\" With a wave of her wand, the fairy godmother chang'd Cindairella's gown back to her standard-issue rags, and watched the girl's dismay as her bosom hastily deflat'd.\nAt that moment her two sisters knock'd at the door; Cindairella went and opened it. \"You have stay'd a long while at the ball,\" said she, rubbing her eyes and stretching herself as if she'd just been awaken'd. \"If thou hadst been at the ball,\" said one of her sisters, \"thou would'st not have been tired with it. There came thither the most beautiful princess, the most beautiful that ever was seen--and wow, what a set of maracas! She showed us a thousand civilities, and gave us oranges and lemons. But you shoulda seen her melons.\" \"She left swiftly,\" added the other, \"and as she literally ran out of the Prince's arms, I swore I saw her chest...grow?\" Cindairella seem'd indifferent; she asked them the name of the princess, but they told her they did not know it, and that the King's son was very uneasy on her account, and would give all the world to know who and where she was. At this Cindairella smiled, and said, \"She must then be very beautiful indeed. Lord how happy have you been, could not I see her?\" The sisters looked at each other quizzically, and Cindairella joined them, suddenly having no idea what her sentence was supposed to mean.\nThe next day the two sisters were at the ball, and so was Cindairella, but dressed more richly than she was at first. Her godmother had whipped her up an even more stellar gown and inflated her bosom to match its fit. The King's son was always by her, ogling at every opportunity and trying to confirm what he thought he'd seen the night before through double-edged comments. But Cindairella only apologized for leaving so abruptly and managed to dodge the question. As the evening wore on, Cindairella once again lost track of time, despite the godmother's warning a few hours earlier not to \"fuck around with the deadline.\" The clock struck twelve once again, and Cindairella felt the oddly familiar sense of pressure begin to build in her chest. Scrambling like a caged animal suddenly set free, Cindairella broke for the door, only to be intercepted by the Prince. His strong hand thrust out to intercept her, snatching her by the arm once again. \"Your highness, I must go!\" she protested, trying to angle her body away from him so he would not see her breasts as they began to swell. \"Why? Is there an emergency? Let me offer my assistance!\" But Cindairella only struggled harder, finally wriggling free just as a line of stitches popped in very loud sequence. She darted down the front steps, only to find that her carriage, as she'd feared, had degenerated into a pile of balloons which were now being lifted by the cool evening breeze. The swirling air only reminded her of her own inflating plight; she felt the pressure increase and saw her breasts as they inflated ever larger, perfectly spherical, her nipples beginning to poke above the neckline of her rapidly degenerating dress. Seeing no other option, Cindairella fled clumsily across the field toward her cottage, bouncing and heaving.\nThe Prince, who had been delayed by the sisters eager for his attention, finally arrived at the top of the stairs and stopped short, watching her shadowy form scramble away in the darkness. He then looked at the hand he'd with which he'd caught the mysterious girl and pondered, as storybook Princes so often do. This time, he knew what he had seen--a girl whose breasts grew before his eyes when he grabbed her by the arm. \"This hand,\" he mused, \"this hand has always brought me pleasure, but now...now I think it to be magic!\"\nCindairella once again found herself in a panic, dodging tree trunks and small animals, trying to keep to the forest's path using only moonlight and her own sense of direction. Most of her senses were a bit overwhelm'd at the moment anyway, as she could still feel her chest expanding--slower now, and more so as she got further from the palace.\n\"What, last night's warning shot wasn't enough?\" said a voice, and Cindairella turned suddenly, almost tripping and falling atop her inflated assets. It was her fairy godmother, perched upon a nearby branch, swigging from a 40-ounce. \"You do a girl a favor, and how does she thank you? By almost blowing your cover--not to mention her top!\" As she hopped down from the tree limb and landed with an unsteady foot, Cindairella could tell her godmother had been imbibing spirits for a good portion of the eve. \"Don't you see? I give you what you want, then everybody finds out who helped you, and I'll have a bunch of freeloaders lined up at my door.\" As the fairy mother circled the girl as if she was a prospective meal, Cindairella suddenly became acutely aware that her inflation had not ceased altogether, and her breasts had now exceeded the previous night's dimensions. She had never felt such pressure! \"Please, you must help me,\" she cried, fearing that she had little time left. \"It was an honest accident, I simply forgot...but I have not stopped this growing since I fled!\"\n\"Yeah, yeah, help this, help that,\" snapped the surly godmother. \"Who's looking out for Edna, huh?\" The bosomy matron pounded her chest violently and took a swig from her malt liquor, just as Cindairella's dress tore with an audible ripping noise. \"Oh, that's just great...ruin everything.\" With a wave of the fairy woman's hand, Cindairella's growth finally ceased, leaving her with barely enough clothing over her chest for it to be called clothing at all. \"What'd you do with the carriage?\" barked the godmother. Cindairella did not answer, not knowing exactly how to deal with a drunken fairy. \"Oh, hell with it,\" snarled the woman, leading the overinflated Cindairella away by the wrist. \"It's time we both got home.\"\nCindairella just barely returned to the cottage with enough time to return to normal size, get properly disheveled and feign sleepiness when her sisters barged through the door. Cindairella asked them how the evening went, and cautiously asked if the beautiful princess had return'd. \"Yeah, she return'd all right, but she repeat'd the same stunt twice in a row, right down to the growth trick,\" said one sister, a sour look covering her face. \"Quite unexpectedly, bitch bolts out the door, and the Prince did charge after her like the sex-starved scalawag he is.\" \"Once, perhaps,\" chimed in the other, her demeanor no less irritable, \"but abandoning your date twice like that--and when that date is royalty!--well, princess or not, she is clearly just rude.\" Cindairella held her tongue from responding, giving a nervous glance down to her once-ample bosom. \"After she fled,\" added the first sister, \"the Prince spent most of the night grabbing people by the arm, as if a special reaction he expect'd. When there were no unusual results, he just sat there, looking at his hand--which is probably what he's using as we speak.\" The sisters tittered, then threw some lemons and oranges out the window as a symbolic gesture.\nTwo days passed, and the King's son caused it to be proclaim'd by sound of trumpet that he intended to marry the mystery princess as soon as he could locate her, and would be visiting each cottage in his quest to find the girl. He made no mention of his hand's special powers, but his plans were to firmly grasp each girl by the arm and watch what happened. For most of the court and kingdom, nothing did--although he'd caused a few bruises, and had earned a few odd looks for grabbing the arm of a prepubescent boy, who promptly kicked His Lordship in the royal jewels.\nThe Prince grew weary of the endless grabbing and releasing, grabbing and releasing--I could be doing this at home, with a magazine, he mused--but finally found himself at the small cottage where Cindairella lived. The evil sisters had seen the mysterious princess' swollen reaction both nights, and both had corseted themselves up for the Prince's arrival. Cindairella, meanwhile, was ordered to stay in the corner, out of immediate view. As the King's son grasped each of their arms in turn, they inhal'd greatly and thrust out their chests, but could not puff themselves up in a manner that satisfied the horny inheritor. \"I fear it is hopeless,\" he said, turning to open the cottage door. Cindairella, realizing that this was her last chance for any interaction with the Prince at all, sprang from her chair to open the door for him, but was late in her attempt. The Prince's outstretched hand landed on her arm instead of the door's handle.\nAt that moment, the room was filled with a hissing sound, and Cindairella felt within her the sensation she'd felt each night at the ball. The room's gazes were drawn to her chest, as her tattered rags rustled with movement. She felt--and everyone saw--her breasts begin to inflate, steadily, solidly, forcing the fabric forward. Cindairella gasped, as did the Prince. \"It's you! You're the one! You're the princess!\" he exclaimed, as the evil sisters and stepmother (you remember her) looked at each other with alarm. \"There isn't another maiden in the kingdom who can be thusly satisfied by my magic fingers!\"\nThe Prince tightened his grasp on Cindairella's arm, causing her to yelp and swell. Larger her bosom grew, rapidly inflating and exceeding the confines of her shoddy attire. The haphazardly-sewn rags began to break their bonds, causing pink flesh to show behind the tatters. As the stitches burst, Cindairella continued swelling bigger and bigger, her hands clutching at the sides of her chest. The pressure within her mounted, and she began moaning, unable to articulate the feeling of being pumped with the magical air. One of the Prince's attendants wiped a small amount of drool away from the royal chin, and the sisters began looking for safe cover, fearing that Cindairella might soon pop! Truth to be known, Cindairella fear'd the same, as she felt her skin stop stretching but the pressure continue to mount.\nJust then the fairy godmother appeared, looking disheveled and quite hung over, but sober at the very least. \"What's all this then?\" she demanded, taking stock of the situation. Hmm, she thought, evil sisters cowering, nobility drooling, the dim bulb looking like a 13-year-old's wet dream--this was my cue, all right. \"Okay, looks like we're at the end of the story. Girls, you pay attention now--this is the happy-ass ending for everyone but you. You two get to feel like jerks for treating Cindy here like dirt when she's about to marry into money.\" The sisters poked their heads up from the chairs they'd sought shelter behind and gave the godmother that confused-dog look, cocking their heads to one side. \"Princey, you take Cindairella back to the castle with you and marry her, okay?\" \"Ab..absolutely!\" he replied, a lecherous grin spreading across his face. \"Cindy, you go with him and live happily ever after. It's that simple.\"\n\"But I...I'm...going....to...BURST!\" Cindairella stammered, her breasts taut, and her stomach just beginning to bulge. Her chest was now quivering with the pressure, having stretched as much as her body would allow, yet the sensations building within her would not stop! \"Oh,\" replied the fairy, as this simply hadn't presented itself as a problem in her mind. \"Here ya go.\" She gave a lopsided wave of her magic wand, and the hissing stopped. A few strategic stitches held Cindairella's tattered clothing together; her ballooned breasts had stretched them to the absolute limit. \"But...how am I to go on like this?\" whined Cindairella. \"I can't even fit out the door!\" \"Not my problem,\" replied the fairy godmother, shaking her head. \"I've already put too much time into your case as it is. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm late for a menage a trois with the Brothers Grimm.\" She vanished in a puff of pink smoke, which the sisters inhaled and promptly chok'd upon.\nAnd they all lived hornily ever after. Except the sisters, who just died.\n" } ]

Timothy climbed down the trunk of the tree, and when his feet touch the ground, he walked into a nearby bush, which had lots of berries. \"Ah, This bush will keep me satisfied for a while!\" he said, excited to see the bush full of berries. He picked many berries, enough to make Timothy look at the flowing river for hours.\n\nAs soon as he was done picking the berries, he walked back, his arms full of berries, when he saw, looking to the left, a sad Pokemon. \"Aw, poor her, I wish I could make her feel better.\" He said. Timothy dropped his berries to the ground and walked over to the Pokemon. The Pokemon was yellow, had big ears with some black at the end, but at the end of the left ear, was three \"spikes\". \"No one likes me back home... Maybe here would be fine...\" the Pokemon said as he or she stopped. Timothy walked up to the Pokemon, trying to make her better. \"Hey, what's wrong?\" he says to the Pokemon as she sniffled. \"Well, no other Pichu back at Sinnoh wouldn't like me, so I went to Unova to find someone here. But who are you?\" The Pokemon replied. \"Oh, that's sad of you\" he told her. \"But allow me to introduce myself, I'm Timothy the Emolga. What about you?\". \"My name? It's Pichu...and I'm a special kind of Pichu...\" she introduced to Timothy\n\n\"Like, what kind of special?\" Timothy questioned \"I have a spiky ear, that's what makes me special.\" Pichu replied. \"I'm sometimes refered to 'Spiky-Eared Pichu'\" \"Awesome, for a name like that, you're a little cute...\" \"Why... thank you!\" Timothy and the Spiky-eared Pichu (we will just refer to her as \"Pichu\" now) continued to talk and compliment to each other for another 5 minutes. \"Now tell me, why are you down in the dumps?\" Timothy told Pichu\n\nPichu starts to tell her story: Back at her home region, Pichu looked for her kind because she needed a mate for the first time in her life. Like in this situation, Pichu picked a berry from a nearby shrub and tried to give the berry to another Pichu. \"Would you be my mate?\" she told the Pichu. \"Hmm... Let me think...Just remove those spikes from your ear, and we'll talk.\" He replied. When Pichu (Spiky eared) heard this, she was surprised. \"Now hold on a sec! I can't remove my spikes! They're special to me!\" she ranted out. Then the other Pichu slapped her in the face. Pichu wiped her face where the other Pichu slapped her.. \"Well, if you don't remove those spikes...then I guess I can't mate with you...\" he says to Pichu as he walks away with another female. There was a tear running down her face, crying because of that. Her spikes would be the reason. She tried tying them together, she tried gluing them together, but nothing worked. So when she saw a boat to Unova, she ran over to the boat, hopping on to it before it left, looking for any other Pokemon to mate with her.\n\n\"So I went to Unova to find other Pokemon, and that's what happen\" Pichu said as she finished her story.\n\n\"That's so sad of you....But you've come to the right place! I'll be your first mate!\" Timothy said. Pichu didn't reply but she quickly rushed over and hugged Timothy. \"Uh, Wow, that was quick...\" he said. \"Oh, I'm so glad you said yes!\" Pichu replied happliy. Timothy didn't say anything, but Pichu pulled him in before their lips touch each other, then she pushed her tongue inside Timothy. For a moment, he widen his eyes and thought to push her away, but then he let his instincts take over and began moving his tougue along with Pichu's, trading saliva between the two Pokemon as they moaned.\n\nAs Timothy and Pichu thrashes their tounges, there was a little trail of saliva running down both of their faces before Pichu pushed away for a little bit, looking back to back from each other's eyes. A strand of saliva connected between the mouths of the two Pokemon before it broke, then Pichu pulled Timothy in for another kiss, their tounges moving around each other while moaning. As they kissed, Pichu pushed Timothy to the ground and the tongue kissing became a little more intense, and as it became more intense, the little trail of saliva grew bigger. Eventually after five minutes of french kissing, Timothy pushed Pichu away from her.\n\n\"That was romantic...\" he said as he wiped his mouth, wiping away the mix of his and Pichu's saliva. \"I know... But why near the path where humans go through?\" she said, talking about the issue on their privacy as she also wiped her mouth. \"Come with me!\" Pichu held one of Timothy's hand, taking him into a dense part of the forest and into a nearby rock. \"There we go! Now where were we?\" Pichu said. Looking at her again, she opened Timothy's legs, revealing a member for her to suck on. \"Oh, Timothy! Your thing...it's so big!\". Timothy didn't say anything but watch as Pichu took the cock into her mouth and started to move her head up and down while wrapping the Emolga's member with her warm tounge.\n\n\"Pichu....This is great...\" Timothy said as pleasure ran up his spine. Of course, Pichu only moaned as her mouth was sucking on his member and couldn't talk while she does this. As Pichu continued to bob her head on the cock, she could feel pre-cum coming out of it, she quickly sucked it up, but Timothy decided to help Pichu, pushing his cock inside her mouth a little deeper, but she gagged on it a little bit. \"Pichu...relax...\" Timothy said as he placed a hand behind her head. She responded by relaxing her throat, as what Timothy expected. This makes it easier for Pichu to suck on Timothy's member and easier for Timothy to get more pleasure.\n\n\"Pichu....I'm gonna cum....\" He moaned. Pichu only replied with moaning also before she winked at Timothy, her winking set off Timothy, causing him to scream in orgasm. His penis shooting his load into Pichu's warm mouth, some dripped off her mouth, but the rest, she gulped it down.As the Emolga member slowed down spurting out cum, Pichu removed his penis out of her mouth, letting the remaining white goo to leak on to the base, then licking up the remains of the Emolga cum. \"Tastes good....but not enough to satisfy me.\" she said. \"You've been satisfied, now it's my turn.\" Pichu lied down on the grass, and using her hands, opened up her wet waiting cunt. \"You want a taste?\" Pichu asked Timothy. The Emolga thought about it for a second, \"Sure!\" he replied.\n\nHe walked over to Pichu, placing his face over Pichu's pussy. Then, Timothy started to run his tounge up Pichu's cunt, her hips made a jerk with each lick. \"Oh Timothy, this feels amazing...\"she moaned to Timothy. He responded with harder licks, and pushing his tounge inside Pichu. The rich taste of Pichu's wet cunt covered Timothy's tongue as he continued to wildly lap at her cunt, finding more of her juices to taste. When Timothy decided to stop lapping for him to talk to Pichu, she became a little sad about Timothy stopping. \"Aww, why did you stop?\" she whined to the Emolga. \"No, I'm just saying, your pussy tastes sweet.\" He replied before he buries his face again into her sweet tasting cunt.\n\nTimothy once again lapped wildly at Pichu's pussy, this time at her most sensitive parts, making sure she reaches orgasm quickly and swiftly, and to make sure he gets the taste of Pichu's juice as much as he can. Her body was filled with pleasure as her hips violently jerked against Timothy's face. The Emolga decided to push his tongue inside of her wet cunt, in order to make her cum even faster and stronger. \"Timothy...I feel something weird....Let's stop\" She moaned as her whole body shook, about to reach her climax. But Timothy ignored her, and another minute by the Emolga's fast tongue reflexes against her pussy, and Pichu felt the most amazing feeling in her life, screaming into the forest at the same time. \"Aahhh! Timothy! There's something coming out!\" she screamed as she cummed against Timothy's face. He licked almost all of her sweet juices until Timothy couldn't handle it and decided to step away from Pichu, letting the remaining cum fall to the floor.\n\n\"Wow, that was awesome...\" Pichu panted after her strong orgasm. \"I know, for a small Pokemon, you sure cum a lot, but I need more than just licking your juices...\" Pichu replied with a questioned look on her face. \"What is it?\" she spoke. \"I want to be with you a little more... So lie down and spread those legs for me.\" Timothy said as his penis once again came out of it's sheath. Pichu became a little nervous when Timothy commanded her to do what he said. \"O-ok...\" her voice stuttered. As what Timothy said, Pichu lied on her stomach and spread her legs out, revealing a wet cunt. Immediately, she know what she was going to experience in the next 5 minutes. \"Timothy, this is my first time with another Pokemon, so please be careful...\" she told the Emolga. \"Ok, I'll make sure I'll be gentle.\"he replied seductively with a eerie grin on his face.\n\nTimothy ran to the Spiky-eared Pokemon, held her legs tightly, and slowly thrusted his way inside of Pichu, just like he promised. Immediately, Timothy felt an intense wave of pleasure going through his body as Pichu's small pussy contracted around Timothy's penis. \"Oh Pichu! You're so tight for a first timer!\" he moaned. As it was her first time in sex, Pichu felt not only pleasure, but also pain, and in response, she screamed.\n\n\"Timothy...It hurts!\" she shouted in both pain and pleasure. \"Are you all right?\" The Emolga reassured Pichu. \"Y-Yeah... But it hurts too much for me!\" \"Don't worry...you'll get used to it....\"\n\nPichu did not realize that a thin membrane broke when Timothy thrusted into her, which caused her pain. And because of that, a little drop of blood would appear and drop to the ground every time Timothy made a thurst into her. After a few thrusts from the Emolga, Pichu became used to the pain and the bleeding stopped. \"Timothy, this feels so good! I want more!\" she screamed in pleasure. Timothy agreed, and sped up a little, pleasuring the little yellow Pokemon even more, along with Timothy. And as he sped up, Pichu's cunt contracted even more, completely engulfing the Emolga cock and rewarded Timothy with a rush of intense pleasure.\n\nFeeling like seconds turned to minutes, Timothy could feel his cock growing inside of the small Pichu cunt. \"Pichu! I couldn't hold my load for much longer!\" he told to Pichu, about to reach his orgasm. As he thrusted into Pichu, his head was reminding him those times in the past. In all his months since the season began many, many months ago, he hopefully this will be his best and final mating with a Pokemon before he takes a break and returns on March. He has had sex with many Pokemon, including a Snivy from famous Pokemon trainer Ash Ketchum, and now is about to fill a Pichu with his seed. Returning to the real world, Timothy grabbed on to Pichu's hips as hard as he can for before thrusting one final time.\n\n\"I'm cumming into you, Pichu! Take all my seed!\" he screamed as his penis shot his load into Pichu. \"Aah! Your seed is warm! But I'm cumming too!\" she replied screaming as her cunt sprayed her cum, covering the cock with her juices. The two electric types felt intense waves of pleasure as their orgasm went on. Pichu's pussy repeatedly milked the Emolga's cock to make sure that she gets every last drop inside her womb. Eventually, Timothy pulled away from her now filled pussy, both Pokemon dropping to the ground, panting as their orgasm settle.\n\n\"Wow, Timothy, that felt awesome!\" Pichu said. Timothy replied, \"I know, you must feel really satisfied since this was your first time.\".\n\n\"Oh yeah, I feel great! But what about you?\" \"Yeah, me too, I'm really satisfied...\"\n\nAfter their sex, they washed off at the nearby stream before both Pokemon climbed up to Timothy's tree. Looking at the sunset, Timothy and Pichu held hands for the first time in their whole lives. As Timothy ate one berry, he tried to give an Oran Berry to Pichu. \"You want a berry? Because you're looking hungry, Pichu.\" He told to Pichu, offering the berry. \"Sure, I would!\" she said, taking the berry out of Timothy's hands. She took a bite of the Oran Berry before she asked the Emolga. \"And Timothy?\" she asked. \"What is it?\" he replied.\n\n\"Thanks for giving me what sex feels like...I really needed that.\" Then Pichu gave a kiss on Timothy's cheek. \"No Prob!\" he replied. And thus, this concludes our story." } ]

A country that bans Tail Raising to a severe degree... The night was quiet and all inside the tavern were celebrating, for the Tail Underground, as it's name applies, is the only safe place for tail raisers to be. Suddenly, the peace is shattered by the quick swinging of the door to slam against the wall. All patrons turn to look as a young blue dragon stood dressed in ornate oriental armor holding up a young fox dressed in beautiful red silken garbs his Brown hair flowing down to his lower back. \"Help!\" he screamed as he dragged the young fox through the tavern, the fox's arm over the dragons shoulders, \"Please help... we've traveled from across the desert to the east... my master... he's... he's collapsed in exhaustion, somebody help please!\" The young arctic fox from behind the bar sprung into action, practically jumping over the bar to grab the fox's other arm and lead the two upstairs, \"Quickly, to my room...\" The two quickly lead the young fox up to the first room on the right, the tender's room, and lays the fox upon the bed gently. The Rest of the tavern, curious as to the scene all followed the three and watched them as the young dragon knelt next to the fox, praying to the gods he would be ok.\n\nThe Young Arctic Fox genly lays his paw over the dragon's shoulder and smiled, \"he will be fine, let us return downstairs young dragon...\" With that the young dragon left his master and went back downstairs back to the tavern. Everyone else slowly began returning back to their business. \"So,\" said the young arctic fox, \"what brings you to this lowly kingdom of Arca dragon?\" The young dragon looked up to the fox at the bar and sighed, \"I do appologize for the rude interuption, I am Feng from the Kingdom of Han-ma, my master who is upstairs, is Prince Xing, the soon to be emperor of Han-Ma... the only problem is we are at war to find who will be the next emperor of Han-Ma...\" The Young fox looked at Feng with a concerned look, \"I'm so sorry to hear that, I do hope your war goes ok...\" Feng nodded softly, \"That is why the prince and I came here... to ask of this country for aid in our war...\" The young fox nodded, \"dunno about that... Arca can be quite stubborn, but he's always interested in learning about new countries... so you never know...\" the young fox said sliding a stein of ale to the young dragon. The Dragon shook his head gently, \"I've no money to pay... er... I never caught your name...\" he said as he pushed the Stein back. \"Ian...\" said the young Fox, pushing it back, \"Sir Ian if you please... and... it's on the house...\" The young Dragon bowed his head gently, \"you are most gracious in our time of need, I know not of how I can repay you...\" Ian smiled gently and looked to the young dragon, \"don't you worry about payment, you were in need, and it is my duty to help...\"\n\nIan then went back to his work of cleaning his glasses on the bar, \"So tell me... what is Han-Ma like?\" The Dragon smile, reminicing about his homeland the six years before the war began, \"Han-Ma is a beautiful place, crystal clear lakes, wonderfully warm climate, beatiful sceanary, and the city structures are quite the marvel!\" Ian smiled gently, \"I see, sounds beautiful, how about your Prince? what are his views on running the country?\" he asked out of curiousity. \"The Prince?!\" asked the young dragon, blinked a bit, finding it quite strange to be asked, as though he were being interogated. He blushed slightly and smiled, \"Prince Xing is the most magnificent leader so far... he cares for his people, he loves them like any father would love their children... he creates plans that won't kill anyone...\" Ian smiled, \"I see... and what side is he on?\" Feng looked to Ian, \"He stands on the side of Ying, with the other fox of Xun, I am a Dragon of Shang, also on the side of Yin, our enemies are of the Yang coalition, they include the Tigers of Ping and the Wolves of Xiaou... The Phoenix of Ming on the other hand... remain neutral...\" Ian looked to the young dragon and smiled softly, \"You have a sence of pride working for you master... almost a love for it...\" The dragon became rigid and looked at him sternly, \"My service to the my lord, Prince Xing, is professional an nothing more Sir Ian...\" Ian looked to the dragon, smiling, almost knowing the truth, \"Are you sure about that... I sence a hint of love behind your words...\" The Dragon quickly looked away, his blue scales turning red in embarrassment, \"I... I... yes... yes I love him Sir Ian... I... I would give my life for that man...\" Ian looked at him calmly and smiled, finally knowing the truth, \"I see... well then Feng, tell me, what's the young Prince's stance on... Tail Raising?\" he asked. The dragon looked at him confused, \"Tail Raising?! what do you mean by that?\" Ian looked to him, \"Homosexuality...\" he calmly said. Feng nodded, \"ah, Prince Xing isn't a 'tail raiser' as you'd call it... but he does take men and women...\" Ian smiled gently and looked past the young dragon, \"so... how do YOU feel about the young prince...\" Feng blushed at the question, and then looked over to him, \"Prince Xing is a wonderful man... he's charming... handsome... I... I can't think of what I'd do if I were to fail him in my duty to protect him... I... I'd have no choice but to commit Hara-Kiri, just to see his smile again...\" Ian smiled softly, \"that's a little overboard but...\"\n\nAt this point Feng finally realized that Ian's attention was diverted and slowly turned to see the young prince standing at the bottom of the stairwell. Feng in utter shock knelt down in front of the young prince, \"P... Prince Xing... I had no idea you were awake... I...\" The young prince gently silenced the dragon, allowing him to gently stand up and smiled, \"you've no worries, I'm fine now my dear guard... and I am touched to know that you have feelings for me young Feng...\" The young dragon blushed and looked up, \"Thank you sir, it is an honor to serve.\" With that, the young prince looked to Ian and smiled, \"How much will it be for a room?\" he asked softly. Ian waved them upstairs and smiled, \"on the house...\" With that, the prince and his guard slowly disappeared up the stairs just as Ping, the panda bellhop came around down after attending to a guest, watching the two go upstairs, he stared in utter amazment at the young fox he passed as he pointed, \"IAN!!!! tha... th th th th th th...\" he stuttered, but Ian nodded, not seeming surprised, \"I know Ting...

Her face buried deep inside the much larger cougar's crotch, with her muzzle completely enveloped by the cat's vaginal lips, she rubbed her tongue against a particular spot within the inner walls, rasping it to stimulate the gathering of nerves there. She didn't allow herself to think about what she was doing anymore. That she was forced to eat out another animal. Or that in this case the animal was her own son. Instead she just focused on the task at hand. The task to bring the cougar to orgasm however she could. The sooner she accomplished that, the sooner it would be over... at least until the next time.\n\nAs her tongue lapped and rubbed against the cougar's sensitive g-spot, she simultaneously kneaded the cat's clitoral head with her paws and messaged the sensitive flesh tightly encircling her muzzle with her rough pads. She had done this so many times now that she know how to most stimulate and bring about climax the fastest. It was all too practical approach. But effective. She stood on the cougar's tail, allowing her to dig her feet into its sensitive underside with her claws as she continued her other work. The cougar lay on her back allowing for this positioning, as they both had learned this was the most effective to get the job done. After all, that had had plenty of practice at it. What had once took a hour for fox to bring cougar to climax, she could now do in just twenty minutes.\n\nThe fox was used to the taste of her son's juices. In fact, she was accustomed to the taste of all the animals, once human, that were cursed to stay on the grounds for the witch's sadistic amusement. Unlike her son and most the other animals, the witch didn't keep her around for reproduction. After only one litter of cubs, which had long since grown up and wondered off, she was given a very specific role. Perhaps it was the cruel irony of her small size, or being the head of the family, but she was essentially forced into the role of resident whore. Her task was quite simple, as dictated by the witch's instructions. Every day between sunrise and sunset, no exception, she was required to use her body to bring each individual animal on the grounds to orgasm at least three times a day, including herself. The exception was the cougar, whom she was required to service 6 times. This was only the second time of the day. The other exceptions was the blue-jay, her wife\n\nShe had long ago given up trying to resist the witch's commands. Not only was it impossible, but failure to reach her daily quota resulted in punishment, which was already built into her instructions. Any animal she failed to meet the minimum during the day, she had to continue eating out continuously throughout the night without rest. All the animals knew this, had experienced this humiliation, and so were more than willing to position themselves for her during their encounters. Perhaps some of them even looked forward to her services. After all, it was at least better than being raped by a male, or the witch herself.\n\nCertainly the goat looked forward to her attentions. The goat with the painfully swollen udders, always leaking with milk. Not only did she have to service the goat's loins like the others, but she had to milk the goat routinely, the only effective technique being to suckle on them directly. It seemed her mouth was constantly filled with either the juices of another creature's sex, or with milk. In fact, she wasn't allowed to drink water. Nor was she allowed to eat. All her nutrients were entirely taken in during her daily \"activities\". Whatever fluid she helped extract, she had to consume. The exception was her own sexual juices, which she had to share with her son.\n\nShe was quite efficient at her tasks, and it was rare for her to fail any given day. Every so often she was forced to watch as witch ravaged the female cougar in her much larger male form. That was pretty much a daily occurrence, regardless of how pregnant or weaned the cubs were.\n\nAside from the she stuck to her tasks, moving from animal to animal using her muzzle, paws, feet, sometimes even her tail, to stimulate them to orgasm. And when they did, she cleaned them up afterwards, lapping up all of their juices, cleaning their matted groins. She could identify every animal here on taste alone, even when they mixed together in her own fur. The goats, the deer, the rodents, the cats, the wolf, the other animals... they all had distinct smells, distinct tastes. And they all and their own ways to most efficiently arouse and put over the edge, although all of them involved burying her muzzle deep into their sexes. Once done with one, she would lap up the aftermath, then move on to the next. She couldn't forget to service herself either. Unfortunately this always took the longest and was perhaps the task she hated the most. She had to do so with her family watching, and she had to \"share\" the fruits with her son... which literally meant having the cougar clean off her muzzle and lick her out afterwards.\n\nEvery so often the witch would introduce something new to the day. For example, when she was forced to feed the blue jay their son's own cum with her mouth, rather than swallowing it herself. Or the time she had to insert so many bird's eggs into the cat's vagina one at a time, so that she could \"share her mother's experience\". Almost always the special torments were designed as family activities.\n\nBut otherwise, the usual day had all become routine. A routine that had gone on for more days than she could remember. But she was quite good at it now. When she had a good day, her reward was a moment's reprieve in the evening. If not spending the entire night with her head between someone's legs, she was allowed to sleep. She could spend the time with her family. And she could lie with the poor blue bird as she laid her never-ending clutch of eggs.\n\nEvery night she would hope to see her other son again. It had been weeks since she saw the otter that used to secretly visit at night quite regularly. Perhaps she had found a way to find help. Or so she hoped.\n\nThat was about the only hope she had left in this horrible life.\n\nFor now, she just had to focus on the task at hand. The cougar lying beneath her let out a breathy moan, signaling she was near. The fox dug her hind legs into the cats' tail base rocking them back and forth. She rubbed at the sensitive inner vaginal lips pressed so tightly around her muzzle, as her tongue went to overdrive to work the sensitive inner walls deep inside.\n\nAs the walls around her tongue began to contract, the cougar let out a roar as the first heavy squirt of vaginal juices flooded the fox's waiting muzzle." } ]

He moved forward towards the bathroom, keeping his eyes glued to the mirror. He didn't realize it, but he was tiptoeing. Sneaking up on her as though she had magically changed into something that would kill him if she heard him. And yet, he was still moving towards her? He put his hand on the door and shoved it open, looking at her wide eyed and ready.\n\nNow, he kind of half expected this to be like a horror movie, where when you look, you see she is normal. And look in the mirror, and see the other stuff. So he wasn't really prepared when he saw the wings and horns still there. She grinned, seeing the look of shock on his face. He had not been expecting that. And she liked it.\n\n\"Whats the matter baby?\" she asked taking a sexy pose, keeping her wings relaxed. \"Don't like what you see?\" Then licked her lips seductively. Flint didn't know what to do! Who would?\n\n\"Celine.... Where the hell did those come from?\" \"Heh heh...... You just said the answer.\" She replied turning her back to him. The bat wings made her look so exotic. They dark purple on the back, and the softer skin in the front was pink. There were horns coming out the top part. Her horns were not too long. maybe thre inches and pitch black. It didn't take Flint long to add two and two.\n\n\"Your a demon.\" He said regaining a bit of his posture. Somehow, realizing the fact helped him to recover. Though it should have startled him into fleeing from the house. But it was her dark aura that attracted him to her in the first place.\n\n\"To be more specific, I am a succubi.\" Now the alarmed part of him came back. She realized this and didn't want to scare him off altogether. He could be useful. \"Don't worry I haven't sucked out your soul or anything. Nor do I plan to.\" She said sliding up onto the counter with a sly grin. \"I have better plans for you.\" Flint was somewhat excited. Such a powerful creature had plans for him? Even if it was evil, it made him feel good to hear she wanted his help. But the question still remained.\n\n\"For what?\" It was a good question really. And would probably change how he felt about his help being wanted.\n\n\"Angels baby. I want your help getting me some angels.\" He hadn't thought about that. If this demon was here, then surely there were angels!\n\n\"Angels? But you can't steal their souls because thats all they are.\" At least, thats what he thought. He wondered just how much he really knew about angels or demons. It was probabbly mostly wrong. It would be interesting to learn the truth about them.\n\n\"No, you can't steal their souls.\" She said leaning back a little bit, then sliding her paws down her abbs then, then under her panties. She had lost the skirt by now. She started to rub herself and moaned. \"But they can be tainted....\"\n\n\"Taint them? Then what? You enslave them?\" The thought of enslaving creatures of such purity and goodness should have enraged him, but instead, he found his bulge in his pants starting to grow. And she took note of it.\n\n\"Not quite. You see, when you taint an angel, they become a demon as well. Demons get differnt jobs. Some are torturers, some are fighters, and some, are seducers.\" She winked at him \"Can you guess which I am. It was a rhetorical question so he simply asked\n\n\"I see. How do you taint an angel?\" And she was more then happy to respond.\n\n\"Well, there are several ways to do it. The torturers can do there thing until they are so agonized that they willingly become a demon. Or, you can do it my way. Simply 'convince' them to become a demon. Pleasure, is a force that will make people do things they wouldn't normally do. Like convince an angel to join our ranks. Though we wont give them an option. We will simple 'drink' the purity out of them. Untill there is nothing but darkness.\" He was curious now and loving how it sounded.\n\n\"How do you plan to 'drink' their purity out?\" She grinned and reached down, grabbing her panties and slipping them slowly down her slender legs. He felt himself get pulled by some invisible force. He fell to his knees with a grimace. Nothing like falling to your knees on a tile floor. But he didn't have time to think about that because her paw was on the back of his head and his face was shoved into he snatch. This time was different though. He had eaten her out before, but this was different. She smelled different. Like lavender.\n\n\"Drink up baby...\" she whispered in a moan. He opened his mouth obediantly and he could feel his maw become filled with a rather delicous liquid. It tasted like red wine. he allowed her delicous juices to flow more and he swalled a deep gulp of his, releasing a hot breath onto her soaked lips before looking up at her \"That was delicous....what is it?\" he asked.\n\n\"Its pure darkness.\" she said moaned and shifting her hips forward a bit pleadingly. \"Its the opposite of purity, which is what the angels have. Theirs smells like roses and taste like milk and honey, also, notice the color.\" she said pointing to her crotch. He looked down and instead of clear love juices, he saw a trickle of silver liquids. \"Angels are golden.\" The answer was obvious now.\n\n\"Were going to drink all of their purity from them.\" He said still looking at her pussy.\n\n\"Thats right.\" she said with a dark grin.\n\n\"What happens if I drink all your darkness?\" He asked staring at her pussy.\n\n\"Then I become a silly little boring angel. We wouldn't want that.\" she asked grinding her pussy into his face \"Now would we?\"\n\nHe grabbed her hips and started to suck on her more. Wanting to taste more of her delicous darkness. She arched into him a little, keeping her paw on his head. He took several gulp fulls before she pulled his face away slowly \"Save it for the angels.\" she said reaching down and grabbing his bulge. \"You have other things to worry about at the moment...\" He needed no direction from that point.\n\nHe stood up and undid his pants. Releasing his thick warm length for the second time that day. He grabbed her legs just under her knees and pried them open. She resisted a little, just to make it more fun. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. Shooting his tongue out and parting her lips. She reached up and placed her paws on his shoulders sliding her tongue out and playing with his. He leaned forward and pressed the head of his cock against her lips. Now that all of her illusions were gone, he could feel how tight she actually was. She moaned as he forced his length into her roughly. It was all so perfect. As a succubi was designed to be. The perfect sex partner.\n\nShe arched her back and he quickly moved from her lips to her breasts. Grabbing her bra with his powerful paws and ripping it off. This ravaging only made her more excited though. She started to buck and grind her hips against his pumping cock. His maw came down and engulfed her breasts hungrily. Running his hot tongue over her bare breasts. Flicking the nipple as he passed by it. She arched her body against him and her paws moved from his shoulders to his head. Running her hands through his fur and gripping him tightly.\n\nHe moved his other hand out from her leg and she released his head, grabbing both of her own legs and holding them open for him as wide as she could. Which was an impressive amount. He reached around and grabbed her ass, Now pumping her for all he was worth. She was so tight though that it was hard to pick up speed. He looked down and saw her silver juices coating his cock. Surely this had to be the darkest deed anyone could do. Other then taint an angel. He could feel the juices having a powerful effect on him. It was tantelizing his cock. Doubling the pleasure which was overwhelming him. He moved forward and pressed his lips against hers forcefully and the both moaned and and grunted with pleasure.\n\nSuddenly, she felt his cock pulse. Instinctively, he slowly started to pull out of her, but she had other plans. She moved her hands down to his ass and grappled him against her, tightening her thigh muscles to clamp her pussy around his cock, holding him oh \"o-oh shi-\" was all he got out before she felt his white hot seed fire into her. \"o-o-ohhhhh yeesss!\" she moaned feeling the mortals seed fire inside her, filling every crevice inside her. And for so long too. Even though he had done it three times in twelve hours, this seemed to please him the best. He filled her for a solid thirty seconds. Once he was done, he slowly slid out of her, breathing hard. She was too. He felt bad that he had not got her to cum this time, but knew why. She had left her mortal form for her succubi form. But he knew he would get her eventually. Perhaps in her sleep? who knows. She slid off the counter seductively and said \"well, now that thats out of he way, how about that shower?\"\n\n((Well I hope this one was a little bit better then my last!

Unnoticed by either man, he pushed his knees apart as his belly started to grow.\n\"You're swelling up.

Malcolm had only just finished Pikachu's renovated suit yesterday, and this was Pikachu's first day in his new suit. It looked almost identical to his previous suit, but with plenty of non-cosmetic differences. For starters, the tail of the suit had been reinforced with a harder, stiffer material inside. After seeing how useful being able to hit the balls was to Pikachu, Malcolm decided to make sure should the need to use it arise, Pikachu's tail could stand up to just about anything. He could also potentially use it to hit other pokemon with now as well. Extra-sensitive sound amplifying microphones had been put in the ears of Pikachu's suit; Malcolm added the controls to the microphones to his existing remote for the suit. When they were off, Pikachu could hear normally, but once Malcolm turned them on, they greatly amplified sound. The foam surrounding Pikachu's body inside the suit was also of a new type. The new foam was lighter, but much stronger, than the original foam Malcolm had used. This reduced the shock of impact Pikachu would normally feel all over his entire body. The new foam was also sculpted differently; while Pikachu looked very much like a pikachu in his old suit, this new suit made him look even better. The differences were small at best, but they were there.\n\nAnother new addition to the suit were small foam-filled feet, mainly for cushioning as Pikachu ran and walked. In addition to the foam, though, his feet and front paws now also had springs built in. They were kept locked in a coiled up position, but upon release through Malcolm's remote, Pikachu got an initial burst of height; it was enough to jump clear over Malcolm's head if Pikachu jumped as the springs were released. Once the springs were released, Pikachu also gained an extra bounce to his movements, giving him even more of an edge in his agility. The final new addition in Pikachu's new suit was an upgrade to the TENS unit built into his costume. Besides being hooked up to Pikachu as a disciplinary device, the TENS unit now had hook-ups in his paws. Via controls on Malcolm's remote, Pikachu could now deliver anywhere from a mild to a very nasty shock to anything -- or anyone -- he was touching. With all these new abilities, in addition to their continued training to make the best of them, Pikachu was now a formidable battle opponent.\n\nThe remaining month before the tournament was spent doing extra-hard training to perfect Pikachu's battle reflexes and to perfect the use of his new abilities. To avoid exhaustion and burnout, Malcolm and Pikachu took the final week before the tournament to relax and rest to keep their strength and morale up. In that final week, Malcolm received many e-mail messages from trainers who had become fans of his and Pikachu's from all over, asking him if he and Pikachu planned to attend and compete in this year's tournament. Malcolm didn't want to seem rude, so he responded to all of the messages he received, assuring them he would. In addition to new trainers, Malcolm received e-mail from friends of his as well. One of the messages was from Paul and Charmander. They both wished Malcolm and Pikachu the best of luck in the tournament, but Paul made sure to add in a bit of friendly rivalry, teasing that Malcolm and Pikachu didn't stand a chance to beat them! Another message was from his friend who got him interested in the idea of training pokemon in the first place. He told Malcolm how impressed with his progress he was, and he hoped to see Malcolm bring back a victory from his first tournament. Malcolm even received a message from Scyther, who told Malcolm (in his usual long-winded fashion) that he would be at the tournament, and he was looking forward to seeing how far Malcolm and Pikachu had progressed. Scyther said he would also be at the tournament -- watching it, since he couldn't participate -- and said he had a present for Malcolm, which he would give to Malcolm when he saw him.\n\nThe first day of the tournament finally rolled around, and Malcolm and Pikachu flew out to the location where the tournament was being held. (Pikachu had to ride in the cargo hold in an animal carrier, to both his annoyance and pleasure.) During the flight, Malcolm looked over the brochure he had printed out for the tournament. It was being held at a league-owned complex, made up of a huge hotel with an attached convention center. Since they were privately owned by the league, heavily restricted attendance could be assured. Upon arriving at the airport, Malcolm and Pikachu took a taxi to the center. There was a huge commotion outside as many trainers and their pokemon and even more fans arrived, crowding into the reception area. Malcolm put Pikachu into his leash and harness, and after grabbing his luggage led Pikachu in through the bustling crowd outside.\n\nAs they walked in, Malcolm was dumbfounded. The entry lobby was gigantic, probably the size of a football stadium. Further entrance was barred by a large registration desk, and Malcolm and Pikachu went over to register. After paying the necessary fees and filling out the paperwork, Malcolm and Pikachu were not only officially registered for both the pokemon show and battle competitions, but were also given a room to stay in at the hotel. With their registration complete, they could walk further in and get a better look around. The lobby definitely had a convention feel to it, Malcolm thought to himself. League officials had set up booths, selling official DVD copies of past years' matches and providing order forms to pre-order copies of this year's. Trainers and fans alike had set up booths to sell posters, buttons, pins, and other assorted memorabilia to commemorate the event -- and make some extra money, of course. Some trainers were even selling \"personal training\" videos with their pokemon -- they were basically porn, of course, which reminded Malcolm why the restricted attendance was such a good thing.\n\nAfter checking a schedule he picked up from the registration desk, Malcolm realized with a start that the pokemon show would be starting in about an hour. He decided that dropping off the luggage in the room first would be a good plan of action, so he and Pikachu headed over to the elevators leading to the hotel rooms. Malcolm checked his room key -- he and Pikachu were in room 2840 on the 28th floor -- and took the elevator up to their floor. Malcolm opened the door to their room, and his eyes widened at the sight. It wasn't just a hotel room, it was a three room palatial suite with all the amenities he could have ever hoped for. The suite consisted of a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen -- all fully stocked -- plus a balcony overseeing the pool. Being in a bit of a rush for time, though, his enjoyment of the room would have to wait. After dropping the luggage off, Malcolm and Pikachu headed back down to the convention floor.\n\nThe pokemon show was being held in a large conference hall off the main lobby. As he and Pikachu entered, the doorman stopped him. He looked at them for a moment, then smiled. \"You must be Malcolm and Pikachu, right?\" Malcolm nodded, holding up his admission badge so the doorman could see. \"That's right.\" \"Good, good. Here, take these.\" The doorman reached in a large box next to him, pulling out a small stack of index cards and a marker, handing them to Malcolm. \"Thank you, but... what are they for?\" Malcolm asked, confused. The doorman just grinned. \"Trust me, you'll be needing them. Most trainers here do. See, they're for autographs. Say, uh... could you start out with one for me? I'm a huge fan of yours,\" he admitted. Malcolm laughed, happily signing one for the doorman. \"Thank you so much. Oh! I guess you'll be wanting to know which booth you'll be in. Let's see,\" the doorman said as he picked up a clipboard next to him, looking it over. \"Ah. You two will be in booth 46. Just head right down this row here, when you get to the cross-aisle just go right, and you'll see it. Good luck!\" Malcolm nodded, and he and Pikachu set off down the aisles. It didn't take long, however, before the fans walking around the show realized who it was. \"Hey, aren't you Malcolm?\" one fan asked. \"You are! Hey, can I have an autograph?\" \"Malcolm and Pikachu?\" another fan echoed. \"Oh, wow! Can I have one, too?\" The other trainers around chuckled as they looked at the flabbergasted Malcolm -- they had all already gotten the same treatment earlier, and it was always amusing to them to watch another trainer get mobbed by rabid fans.\n\nBy the time Malcolm was done handing out autographs, he was down to about three cards left, and the judges had already started to walk around, observing the pokemon. Wasting no more time, he practically ran (which startled Pikachu slightly, as he ran to keep up) down the aisles, quickly finding their booth. Malcolm lifted Pikachu up onto the table, and he pulled two inflatable balls out of his pocket. He had specifically made sure to check the rules to make sure pokemon were allowed to interact with props. They were, and Malcolm had seen some other pokemon on the way playing with various things. Malcolm blew the balls up. They were brightly colored and they looked like beach balls, but they were much smaller -- about the size of a dodge ball. He put them on the table next to Pikachu. \"All right, Pikachu, do your stuff!\" Once Pikachu had the balls set up where he wanted them, he climbed up onto one ball, beginning to bound back and forth between them with great agility. As luck would have it, the two judges -- one male, and one female -- happened to be walking by behind Malcolm at that very moment. Malcolm was busy watching Pikachu. \"Great job, Pikachu, keep it up!\"\n\n\"Yes, please do,\" the male judge said, startling Malcolm. He spun around to face the judges, startled. \"Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't even notice you walk up,\" Malcolm apologized. \"That's all right, really. Your Pikachu is quite the acrobat,\" the female judge commented with a grin. Malcolm just chuckled. The judges observed Pikachu a bit more closely, and after jotting some notes down on their clipboards, they walked off down the aisle to judge more pokemon. Malcolm grinned, leaning down to whisper to Pikachu. \"You know, buddy, I think we're going to do pretty well in this competition!\"\n\nAbout an hour and a half later, the two judges from earlier approached a microphone on a stage at the front of the hall. As they walked up, most of the noise in the hall quieted down. \"We now have a list of the winning pokemon!\" the male judge announced. This was met with applause from the hall. As it quieted down, he resumed. \"If you are called for an award, please come up to the stage with your pokemon to accept the award.\" A Japanese trainer and his Umbreon won four of the quadruped awards; the other awards for quadruped pokemon went to various other pokemon. Malcolm was only half paying attention until they got to the bipedal pokemon awards. Once they did, he started to listen a bit more closely. The female judge had by this point picked up the presentation. \"The best non-furred costume construction with the most accurate representation of a pokemon goes to... trainer Malcolm and his Pikachu!\" The crowd applauded, and Malcolm was thrilled as he and Pikachu headed up to the stage to receive their award. As he and Pikachu walked up on stage, shaking the judges' hands, the female judge took the microphone again. \"Malcolm and Pikachu have received the first place award for best display of agility in a bipedal pokemon as well. Give them a hand!\" The audience continued applauding, and the male judge handed Malcolm an envelope with his prize in it. Malcolm thanked the judges, waved at the audience, and he and Pikachu went back to their booth. Once they got there, they were giddy with excitement. Malcolm peeked in the envelope, finding a small assortment of point and item cards within. \"A pretty good prize,\" Malcolm thought!\n\nMalcolm and Pikachu were too excited to really pay much attention to the remainder of the award ceremony. Once the final award had been given out, a good number of the trainers and their pokemon began to head for the doors. \"Don't forget,\" the judges announced over the noise, \"that battles won't be starting until tomorrow! We suggest you trainers and your pokemon take your pokemon out into the main hall; there will be photo shoots, interviews, and other assorted events taking place, and it is a great chance for you and your pokemon to meet your fans!\" Malcolm and Pikachu decided to wait by their booth for the crowd to disperse a bit before they thought about making their way out. It took about twenty minutes, but the crowd finally died down a bit, and Malcolm and Pikachu headed towards the door.\n\nOn their way out, a voice stopped Malcolm. \"Your name is Malcolm, is it?\" Malcolm turned around to find a somewhat old man standing behind him. Malcolm nodded. \"That's right, sir. What can I do for you?\" \"I don't know if you remember or not, but I sent you an e-mail some time ago. I was the one who recommended the foam feet for cushioning for your Pikachu.\" Malcolm thought for a moment, and did recall that message. \"Oh, right! I remember your mail; didn't you say that you used to be a trainer once, too?\" The old man smiled. \"That I did. I'm surprised you actually remember my message. I'm sure you get more than enough fan mail to keep you busy.\" Malcolm laughed. \"I do get quite a few messages. But let me thank you first! As you can see, your suggestion was very helpful,\" Malcolm said as he pointed at Pikachu, whose new suit did indeed have the foam-filled feet the older trainer suggested. \"Good, good, I'm so glad I could be of help. You see, long ago when I was a trainer, I too had a Pikachu. We were never that good, but we enjoyed what we did. But about two years after I started training, my Pikachu wanted to quit. He couldn't handle the battles and tournaments and pressure anymore, so I was forced to cut my training career short.\" Malcolm nodded. \"I'm sorry to hear that,\" Malcolm said consolingly. The old trainer nodded. \"Oh, that's all far in the past now. I became a fan of yours and Pikachu's after I watched your very first battle. You two remind me of me and my Pikachu so much back when we first started battling. That's why I want you to have these, Malcolm.\" The trainer reached in his pocket, and pulled out a small stack of point, field, and item cards, handing them to Malcolm. Malcolm's eyes widened. \"Oh, I couldn't take these!\" \"I insist,\" the man said, placing them in Malcolm's hand. \"They'll do me no good collecting dust in my desk drawer, and I see great potential in you and Pikachu. You two have a wonderful bond, and a strong dedication to do well. Take them, and win this tournament not only for yourselves, but for me and your other fans!\" Malcolm nodded; he had only to look at Pikachu to tell he, too, was as inspired as he was to do well now. \"I can't thank you enough!\" Malcolm said. The man grinned. \"You can thank me by winning this tournament. Now run along, I'm sure you've other fans waiting for you.\" Malcolm nodded, and after thanking the man one last time, he and Pikachu headed out into the main hall.\n\nBy that time, the excitement and the crowds had simmered down slightly from what they were earlier. It was still crowded, but no longer chaotic. Malcolm now finally had a chance to relax. Thanks to the mobs of fans and his anticipation of the pokemon show, Malcolm didn't have much of a chance to get a good look at any of the other trainers or their pokemon earlier. Now, however, Malcolm could take the time to lean against a wall and observe some of the other trainers and their pokemon as they walked around the lobby as well. Pikachu stood next to him obediently, happy to get a little break from having to perform.\n\nA trainer and his Zangoose were the first to walk by. Zangoose was a bipedal pokemon, much the same as Pikachu, and appeared to have mostly the same body structure. The biggest difference was that, unlike Pikachu's yellow rubber costume, Zangoose's was a furry costume. It was all pure white fur, except for patches of red fur on his front paws, a zigzag stripe which started in the middle of his chest and continued down around and ended on his right side, and his left ear, which continued down his face into another zigzag stripe which continued up and around his left eye. (The eyes of Zangoose's suit, like Pikachu's, were opaque. They were mainly there to keep the pokemon looking how they were supposed to look.) Zangoose's suit's fur looked somewhat stiff, though. Zangoose had large claws on all four of his paws, but they were made from soft foam, making them quite safe. The biggest thing Pikachu's suit had over Zangoose's, however, was the face. Pikachu's facial prosthetic allowed him to speak and convey emotion and facial expressions very well. Zangoose's face, however, seemed to be sculpted into the suit, giving him a permanent angry-looking scowl.\n\nThe next trainer to walk by led a Flareon on a leash behind him. Like Zangoose, Flareon's suit was also made of fur, but this trainer worked much harder on Flareon's suit than Zangoose's trainer did on his... and it showed. Flareon was a quadruped, and the first one Malcolm had really seen up close. As far as Malcolm could tell, Flareon's back legs were wrapped inside the suit much the same way Pikachu's were, forcing Flareon to walk on his knees as his feet. Malcolm guessed his arms were wrapped up in a similar manner, rendering Flareon's elbows as his front paws. The way the suit was padded, however, made both sets of limbs look like an animal's legs, and large soft looking furry feet padded Flareon's steps. The majority of the fur on Flareon's body was dark red and short; but Flareon's huge, fluffy tail, a large tuft of fur surrounding his neck, and a smaller tuft of fur on his head were made with long, cream colored fur. Malcolm was halfway tempted to run over and ask if he could give the Flareon a hug, but he decided against it as the trainer continued walking.\n\nA Torkoal and his trainer were the next ones to pass by. Torkoal was another quadruped pokemon, but his suit looked like it was made out of rubber, like Pikachu's. Torkoal's body was mostly bright orange, with some grey rings around his long neck and in the middle of each of his four legs. Torkoal's most defining feature, though, was his shell. He looked like a giant turtle, his four legs and his head emerging from holes in the shell. The shell looked like dark grey solid rock, with small indentations which softly glowed with a dark red light. A tiny bit of steam shot out of Torkoal's nostrils as he walked, and a slightly larger amount erupted from small holes in the shell. Malcolm was momentarily impressed that Torkoal was able to carry such a heavy rock shell on his back, but as they approached Malcolm could see more clearly that it was made of foam. It was a very hard foam, though, and was meticulously sculpted and painted to resemble rock. Malcolm had to admit, it worked!\n\nThe next pokemon to walk by was none other than Scyther! Malcolm called him over. \"Hey, Scyther!\" Scyther looked, and smiled upon seeing Malcolm. Scyther came over, standing next to Malcolm and Pikachu. \"How are you doing?\" \"Scytherrrrr...\" Scyther answered. Malcolm sighed. It slipped his mind that Scyther wasn't allowed to talk in public. \"That's right, I forgot. Say, how would you like to come up to my room and talk for a while?\" Scyther nodded happily. \"Scy!\" Malcolm led Scyther and Pikachu to the elevators, and the three got in, now alone in the elevator. Once the doors closed, Scyther reached into his costume's front pocket, pulling out a small set of cards. \"Here, Malcolm,\" Scyther said as he handed the cards to him. \"Here's that present I promised you last week! I picked up your pending point cards from the league for you, and I also threw in a couple of cards of my own for you, too!\" Malcolm smiled -- he was making out like a bandit today as far as cards and point cards were going! \"Thank you so much, Scyther! You shouldn't have, really!\" \"No, no, it's my pleasure, really,\" Scyther said with a grin.\n\nThe elevator arrived on Malcolm's floor, and the three headed to Malcolm's room. As they walked in, Scyther stopped for a moment. \"Er, Malcolm... could I possibly ask you of a favor?\" \"Of course, Scyther, anything! You've done so much for me, what can I give you in return?\" Scyther hesitated a moment, then (had Malcolm been able to see his face under the suit) blushed. \"I haven't had the chance to go all day, and... well, could I use your bathroom?\" he asked, a bit embarrassed. Malcolm just laughed. \"Of course, by all means! It's right in there,\" Malcolm said, nodding towards the bathroom. Before Scyther could go, however, Pikachu ran over to Scyther, latching onto his leg. Scyther stopped and looked down at Pikachu, looking back up at Malcolm, confused. \"What's this about, Pikachu?\" Scyther asked. Malcolm chuckled. \"I think he wants to go with you,\" Malcolm guessed. A happy \"Pika!\" confirmed his guess. Pikachu had taken a liking to Scyther ever since their first battle. \"If that's all right with you, of course,\" Malcolm added as an afterthought. Scyther shrugged. \"Sure, that would be fine. Besides, after seeing some of those suits today, I could use a bit more than just going to the bathroom,\" he said with a grin. Malcolm chuckled; with that, Scyther and Pikachu went into the bathroom to go about their business...\n\nScyther and Pikachu went into the bathroom, and Scyther closed the door behind them. Scyther giggled giddily.\n\n\"Let me just use the bathroom quickly, and then if you want, we can do some other things,\" he said to Pikachu. Pikachu shook his head, pulling on Scyther's leg. \"What, what is it?\" he asked. Pikachu responded by looking up at Scyther, holding his mouth open, using his paw to point at it. Scyther looked confused for a moment, then realized what Pikachu wanted him to do. Scyther grinned, pushing Pikachu over backwards onto his rump. Pikachu landed with a start, and Scyther quickly straddled Pikachu, kneeling down slightly to pin Pikachu to the floor. With that, Scyther took hold of his cock as best he could with his blades and aimed it at Pikachu's face, piss beginning to stream out. Scyther wasn't kidding -- he hadn't gone all day, and he really did have to go. Urine gushed out, into Pikachu's mouth and all over his face and head; Pikachu grinned happily, trying to swallow as much as he could, but the majority of it ended up dripping down his face and body and onto the floor. The stream finally began to slow, and Scyther sighed, relieved.\n\nPikachu, however, wasn't done there. He sat up as much as he could -- it was enough to allow him to get his muzzle onto Scyther's cock. Scyther was taken slightly by surprise, and Pikachu began to use his tongue, playing with it. It didn't take long for Scyther to get hard, and Pikachu closed his muzzle around Scyther's cock, sucking on it softly as he continued playing with it with his tongue. Scyther moaned softly, and moved closer to Pikachu's muzzle. Pikachu reached up, using his paws to fondle Scyther's exposed balls, and before long Scyther dripped pre into Pikachu's mouth, his body tensing as he erupted in an orgasm shortly thereafter. Pikachu swallowed it down obediently, then nuzzled Scyther's belly, grinning with a soft, happy \"Pika!\" Scyther just giggled, and knocked Pikachu over on his back. Scyther decided to return the favor -- since he didn't have any hands or paws to use, he used the tips of his blades to softly and carefully tickle Pikachu. Pikachu began to giggle, and Scyther grinned, leaning down to take Pikachu's own (already hard) cock into his own muzzle. Pikachu whined with a soft \"pikaaa...\" as Scyther returned the favor, licking and sucking on Pikachu's cock. Ordinarily, Pikachu would have to hold back as long as he could for battle training, but it felt good to him to be able to let go for once, exploding into Scyther's muzzle. Pikachu laid back, panting softly, and Scyther just grinned, Pika-seed still dripping from his muzzle. \"That was great, Pikachu! But I think maybe we should get cleaned up.\" \"Pika,\" Pikachu agreed as he sat up, and the two began to get cleaned up.\n\nWhile Scyther and Pikachu were busy in the bathroom, Malcolm dug his laptop out from his luggage, turning it on and connecting to the wireless internet in the room. Malcolm had set his start page some time back to Pikachu's standings page; he was surprised to find as it loaded that the page had already been updated with the information on Pikachu's win in the pokemon show earlier. Malcolm idly began to look through some of the other standings pages to waste time, not really looking for anything in particular. He chuckled as he came across Charmander's page, and Malcolm was about to begin looking for Scyther's when Scyther and Pikachu, who were by now all finished and cleaned up, came out of the bathroom. Pikachu bounded around the room, exploring, and Scyther walked over to see what Malcolm was looking at. \"What's that, Malcolm?\" Scyther asked. \"Hmm? Oh, the pokemon standings pages. I was just looking up a few things. I'm impressed how quickly they updated Pikachu's page after the pokemon show!\" Malcolm said. Scyther nodded. \"Oh, the league is very good at updating the pokemon standings almost immediately after any kind of league-sanctioned event. The standings pages are one of the best ways you can get up-to-date, accurate information on other trainers and pokemon, you know.\" \"So I see,\" Malcolm said as he finished scrolling through the list. \"Say, Scyther, I didn't see your page in here. Where is it?\"\n\n\"Oh, I don't have a standings page,\" Scyther explained. \"See, me and the other random operative pokemon only have a minor mention on the league page detailing random battles. About all of the information they give for us are our win and loss stats.\" \"Well, that's not very fair,\" Malcolm said sympathetically. Scyther just shrugged, nonchalantly. \"It's all right. Nobody at the league really gives me and the other random operatives much thought since we're not allowed to take part in official tournament competitions due to unfair advantages.\" Scyther noticed the saddened look on Malcolm's face, and smiled. \"I don't mind, though, I really don't,\" Scyther added in an attempt to make Malcolm feel better about it. \"It just makes me happy doing what I do! Although I do sometimes wish I had a trainer of my own. But that's just the way it is, I guess. Anyway, thanks for the use of your bathroom... and of Pikachu, too,\" he added with a chuckle. \"I'm going to head back down to the lobby now. I've been getting lots of comments on my suit, and I just love the attention,\" he said with a grin. \"All right, Scyther, it was great seeing you.\" As Scyther walked to the door, Malcolm thought for a moment. Scyther was just about to open the door, when Malcolm called out to him. \"Hey, Scyther!\" Scyther turned around to look at Malcolm. \"Yes?\" \"Listen... if you get lonely or just want somebody to talk to... if you need anything at all, Scyther, feel free to come up here with us.\" Scyther smiled in gratitude. \"Thank you, Malcolm. I really appreciate it.\" Malcolm nodded, and with that, Scyther was off.\n\nPikachu was still busy exploring the room, and Malcolm took the opportunity to take all the new cards he received today out of his pocket, spreading them out on his bed and sorting them. Once he was done inventorying them, he found he had a total of 31 points, a Playground 1 field card, some weather cards (Rain, Wind, Drought, and Sunshine), some item cards (a Fan and two Balls 1 cards), and an Oil Slick 3 hazard card. \"Not a bad day's haul,\" Malcolm thought amusedly to himself. He squared up the stack and stuck it back in his pocket once more, looking forward to being able to use them tomorrow and battle with Pikachu for their very first tournament victory!\n\n[Mar 22 2005]" } ]

GahlByrn had wasted no time in unleashing his foul hounds upon the border villages. Agrok and Tensaih both found themselves with little time to recover or rest from their ordeal before they were called into the defense of their homelands. Kertesk had been lost before the defense forces could arrive, only a small handful had managed to escape the carnage. The Legion was showing their presence in the war with every fiber of their beings, giving fierce opposition to the Titanian defenders when they arrived.\n\nAgrok herself found a tough opponent in a drake who moved as quick as she did, meeting every strike with a block and countering in much the same style as she had learned from Saltriss. She had to focus, she was a different species with different physical traits she could use. The drake would not let up his attack for even a moment's thought, slashing at the gryphoness with expert talons. Agrok dodged and blocked with every bit as much speed and skill, but she just could not find an advantage in her own style. Thankfully the drake couldn't either, this fight was likely to be won by who found an ally first if something didn't break the stalemate.\n\nIf only Grenz were close at hand, his raw strength would be greatly beneficial in over powering this foe while he was trying to evade her speed. That was it, she couldn't beat the drake fighting like herself, but what if she fought like Grenz? She was slightly larger and stronger than her opponent, but was she enough to make the broadwing's power style work? There was only one way to find out. The drake made another quick lunge slash at her neck. Agrok shifted her left shoulder back as she deflected the strike down to meet her harness instead as she countered by stepping into her opponent and striking with all her weight behind a wing. The gryphoness broke her style and followed through, stepping past the drake to push her strength against his balance. It worked, the drake gave a coughing grunt as the breath was forced from his lungs under the vicious blow and the power of the follow through carried him off his feet to sprawl out and scramble desperately to right himself. His limbs flailed without strength as he gasped to recover his breathing as well, leaving him helpless for just a brief moment.\n\n\"Follow through, your opponent is down, don't let them recover, press the attack,\" Malehk's voice rang in the back of her head as Agrok pounced on her helpless prey.\n\nThe gryphoness sank her hind claws into the ankles of her downed opponent to cripple his feet while her foreclaws pinned his arms. She stared down into the eyes of the blue tipped drake with a fury born of one who had seen her people slain. He struggled, knowing there would be no mercy from this female who held him down. Agrok wasted no time, leaning in with a snake like strike of her beak to sink the sharp hook into the drake's neck. Blood sprayed and splattered when she made that initial penetration, but that was not the end of her merciless fatal strike. She jerked her head back with all her might, tearing the throat from her victim and spitting it back to the ground next to it's owner. He gurgled and gave a pathetic cough beneath her as he bled all over the ground, trying to howl in agony and anguish at his inevitable death.\n\nAgrok left him to die and charged to her next fight, a pair that seemed odd in an armored warrior with an ax and a robbed man behind him with a dagger on his belt as the only weapon. The gryphoness readied herself as the man with the wicked two handed ax charged. She waited until she seen the right moment, that point in time where he was committed but not yet readied to strike. As soon as she seen that moment, Agrok lunged and pounced on the armored foe with all her might. The speed of her counter strike caught the brute off guard as all four of her claws struck his chest and shoved to drive him back over his own center of gravity. He fell hard on his back with a loud crunching thud as his armor ground stones into the dirt and made it impossible to hold onto his ax She was quick to scoop up the weapon and give an over head chop down onto the man's neck where the shear weight of the weapon pulled it through his under mail and his neck to decapitate the fallen fighter. With the armor down, she turned her attention to the lightly armed man in the robe. Something about him made her rather leery of him, he had to be hiding something to be so lightly armed and yet so confident.\n\nAgrok stalked closer, letting the breeze give cadence to her steps as it lightly waved his black hair. His cold brown eyes held her with a look that almost seemed amused by her approaching him.\n\nAgrok sprang and made an attempt to gut the human with a lunging slash of her right foreclaw, but she found herself reeling in pain as she limped back from the bright blue explosion of energy that reacted to her talons touching the unseen shielding. A mage, and he was prepared to deal with physical combatants by the looks of it. The scent of ozone and charred leather and feathers told her that she had just been struck with some sort o lightning based counter attack by his shielding Her harness was already growing back over the burned portions to cover the nasty electrical burn on her shoulder. Agrok was in trouble now and she knew it, she had nothing to deal with that shield and now she was hobbled by her injury. She had no hope of simply dodging his arcane attacks and wearing down his energy reserves with her shoulder so badly burned and tingling as her nerves tried to recover from the shock.\n\n\"Stupid birdy, trying to strike the great Kain with mere talons. It's a wonder you were able to lay a filthy claw on GahlByrn, perhaps he will reward me for your head,\" the human spat as he hurled a bolt of energy that froze the air around it.\n\nAgrok jumped to her left to keep from landing on her bad forelimb as she dodged the frost bolt, thankful for the slowing effect of the harness Kahlah had crafted for her. Kain had taken a page right out of Malehk's combat book and laid into her with a whip of fire from his right hand. The gryphoness darted and ducked around each attack until she was forced to roll out of the last move, a maneuver that brought her weight over the burned patch on her shoulder and gripped her in an screech of agony. Her eyes opened just in time to see a yellow bolt of energy not more than half a wing from her face. It never struck her as a blue bolt of cold inducing spell struck it and canceled both spells in a burst of mingled blue and yellow light.\n\n\"I would say something about my need to hold back for the sake of fair play, but I don't believe you were going to give my dear friend the same courtesy. So you think you are strong because you can shield yourself against mundane fighters? Let's see how strong you really are, come now and face the power of a Vyrekai,\" Tensaih growled from behind the wounded gryphoness.\n\nThe man known as Kain stared at her for a moment with disbelief before he laid in with a desperate volley of various arcane attacks, fireballs, lightning bolts, more of those yellow balls of energy, ice bolts, all flying in a frenzied assault as he tried in vain to overcome the more powerful mage. Contrary to his own defenses, Tensaih was shielded against arcane attacks of every kind he could muster. Agrok watched as the spells crashed against her shields with no effect what so ever. A Legion footman rushed at Tensaih from behind and Agrok cried out and tried to struggle to her feet to meet him, but she would never make it. A huge black shape slammed down on the human from above and it was only when his huge foreclaw closed like a slow merciless vice over the helmet clad skull did Agrok realize that it was Grenz. The enemy combatant screamed as the massive male broadwing slowly crushed his skull in his own helmet.\n\nThe huge male tossed the corpse aside and moved to help Agrok steady herself, \"We have to get you off this battlefield, Tailflicker.\"\n\n\"No, there's still a fight to be won and an enemy to push back, I wont leave this field until they are gone,\" she replied with a hard shake of her head.\n\nGrenz gave a little growl of frustration as he pulled her close to his chest and began to unbuckle her harness, \"Fine, but let's at least get some painslayer on that so it's bearable while you fight. The second this battle is in the bag you are off to see Rio, even if I have to haul you off myself. Do you understand me?\"\n\n\"Fine, I give you my word, when they are down for the final blow, I will have Tensaih gate me out,\" Agrok grudgingly agreed to her rival's terms.\n\nTensaih twitched an ear at the conversation behind her, \"I will hold you to that hun, so don't get comfortable out here. As for you, Mister journeyman, I sense a rather fatal flaw in your defenses.\"\n\nKain had fallen to a kneeling position, one hand on his knee as he gasped for breath, \"It wouldn't be that I am facing a mage several ranks above me would it?\"\n\n\"No, but that certainly isn't helping,\" Tensaih replied with a dangerously sweet tone just before the ground sent a small pillar of stone up to strike the human in the chin and knock him flat on his back, \"You mages of the Soul Legion sure have a habit of not guarding against the ground and below. Some one with geomantic spells could just dance all over your structures and your personal beings, as is the case here.\"\n\nThe man started to try and stand again as Agrok and Grenz took up defensive positions on either side of Tensaih, keeping her safe form physical attack while she dealt with the lesser mage. Tensaih was quick to act, bringing a great claw of dirt and stone to grasp around the dome of his shield and squeeze slowly. The lightning shield crackled and sparked as it lashed at the lifeless claw that was squeezing hard on the barrier. Agrok was shocked to see the boundaries of the energies in the shield, as well as seeing that boundary shrink as her dragoness friend slowly crushed it with the very earth beneath her foe's feet.\n\n\"Let's see how strong this barrier really is,\" the silver female spat as her enchanted earthen claw continued to squeeze with unimaginable might.\n\nKain began to breath heavier and heavier as panic began to set in with the growing brightness of his shield as it was compressed. The mage tried desperately to reinforce his shield, but the Vyrekai was relentless in her disembodied grip. It wasn't long before the shield started to show cracks in the woven energies, much like a slowly shattering dome of glass. Finally the energies burst apart as the shield imploded, the shards of stray energy dissolving back into the unseen flows of magic and other energies all around every living thing. Kain screamed as the claw came down on him, gripping him tight in the slowly increasing pressure. His joints began to pop one by one as his limbs were compressed into his body with a cruel slow pace.\n\n\"Please, you must have some code of honor that demands mercy,\" Kain gurgled is pathetic plea\n\nTensaih's eyes grew wide for a moment before they set in an angry scowl, \"Mercy? You were delighting in the pain of my only friend You were going to put her through as painful struggle as you could before you finally killed her, why would I show you mercy? Friends are as close to family as I can get because of people like you, I wont let you take all that I have again.\"\n\nThe human screamed as best he could as the air was slowly squeezed from his lungs. Agrok couldn't stand it any longer, she turned and lunged with a full force strike. Tensaih gasped in shock as her fisted foreclaw struck the silver dead in her jaw and shattered her concentration. The claw fell to loose dirt and stoned around the severely injured human as the dragoness fell to her side with a furious gryphoness standing over her.\n\n\"I will not watch you become one of them in the name of vengeance, do you hear me Tensaih,\" Agrok hissed in the face of the fallen dragoness, \"I will not watch you destroy your own heart by trying to hurt others as much as you have been hurt. That is not the kindhearted mage that saved my life at the cost of her own hardship This certainly is not the actions of the female that helped me tend to Ronin this past week.\"\n\nTensaih stared up at her for a moment before tears started to fall from her eyes, \"Oh god, you're right. Please, I'm sorry Agrok, I..\"\n\n\"Hush now, was he the last of their arcane forces here,\" she demanded.\n\nThe silver female gave a nod.\n\nKain tried to crawl away in the confusion, but Grenz was not so distracted as the ladies, \"Hello there, did I mention that Agrok is like my baby sister?\"\n\n\"Mercy, she demanded mercy,\" the human wailed as a huge foreclaw gripped his head and hauled him up to stare into the great amber eyes of the broadwing.\n\nGrenz gave a savage grin, \"There are many forms of mercy.\"\n\nThat would be the last sound that the human would hear as the massive gryphon whipped his foreclaw back and snapped it back to his chest to snap his neck like a twig.\n\nAgrok stroked Tensaih's swollen cheek with a tender foreclaw, \"Grenz, do you think the commanders have everything in hand here?\"\n\n\"If Tensaih just took out their last magic wielder, we have that advantage over them now. We should be fine without you two, I'll let Krinzehl know we had a pair of debilitating injuries,\" he replied as he tossed the mage's body aside like a discarded bit of leather.\n\nThe dragoness shook her head, \"My cheek is not debilitating, I can easily cast with this throbbing.\"\n\n\"Tensaih, my love, I am not talking about your cheek,\" Grenz countered, \"I'm talking about your heart and mind. We can't have you going all war whacky on us, that would be a tactical nightmare and it would wreak havoc on Agrok.\"\n\nAgrok reached down to try and help Tensaih up before she hissed in pain at her shoulder. Grenz gently shouldered her aside and picked the dragoness up in his foreclaws as though she were as light as a small child.\n\n\"Thank you Grenz, we are going to see Rio, and we are also going to talk with her. No protesting, this needs to be addressed,\" the gryphoness declared.\n\nTensaih nodded as Grenz set her down gently before him, \"Yes hun, and please don't get the wrong idea about me Grenz. You are handsome and all, but I could never..\"\n\n\"Oh stop it, it's not a real declaration, it's a teasing nick name,\" he gave her a pat on the shoulder, \"Now off with you, I have more Legion to kill.\"\n\nAgrok rubbed tenderly at her shoulder through her harness, \"Can you get us back safely, Tensaih?\"\n\n\"Yes, but a quick parting gift before we go,\" the silver placed a hand on Grenz' harness for a moment, \"There, it is a quick selection, but that should protect you from fire, natural or arcane in origin, and lightning.\"\n\nGrenz gave a nod, \"Thanks, now get going, those guys over there told me they want to see what I can do. Surely you heard them say, 'Please tear us to shreds Grenz!'\"\n\n\"Clear as day, my dear feathered knight,\" Tensaih opened her gate before she turned her eyes back on Agrok, \"If he enjoys this too much do I get to see you hit him?\"\n\nThe gryphoness smiled gently as her new friend began to sound more like herself, \"No, we pretty much keep him around to hit stuff, it's all he's good for.\"\n\n\"Shut up and leave already,\" Grenz huffed and turned to stalk his new prey.\n\nAgrok giggled at his mock irritation and turned to step through the gate with a nod of her head to motion Tensaih to follow, \"Come on, we need to get you and I back in one working piece so we can get to saving his butt.\"\n\n\"Let us hope he will be fine, I kind of like him,\" the dragoness admitted, \"He could make an interesting friend. I am uncertain about his teasing though.\"\n\nThe wounded warrior shook her head and made her way slowly toward Rio's large primitive medical structure, \"His teasing is a good sign. Grenz is an odd fellow, his emotional armor is heavier than that of our heavy infantry. To let you in close enough to risk teasing you is a sign that he is willing to extend a tendril of trust to you. teasing you means you might tease back and he is trusting you to see and respect the line between teasing and true personal attack.\"\n\n\"But why would he call me his love,\" Tensaih asked as she walked beside the gryphoness, her wings notably sagging and her head held lower than normal.\n\nAgrok was not sure if that was a posture of shame or dejection among dragons or if Tensaih was just tired from her bout of arcane combat, \"Well, he knows what happened to you and even in your short time here, you have shown discomfort under the eye of a male. So he is likely testing the waters to see if you are strong or if you need a bit of sheltering. At least that is what I can guess,\"\n\n\"He would shelter me? How would he do that,\" the silver female cocked a glistening brow.\n\nThe gryphoness winced as she found a low spot in the grass and jarred her shoulder a bit, \"I am uncertain, I know he protects me a bit from being taken advantage of or being brow beaten out of my confidence in my own skills and abilities. If he has decided to keep you safe as well, we should likely discuss your preferences with him. Grenz is a lot more tender and caring than he seems, understanding too.\"\n\n\"Are you to say he would likely keep other males from sniffing about my tail and looking for a way beneath,\" Tensaih inquired as they neared the entrance of Rio's makeshift clinic.\n\nAgrok paused at the door and shrugged before she pulled the door flat back, \"I can't say, all I do know is that he would never let anyone disrespect you in earnest, whether or not he has decided to protect you or let you stand on your own strength. We will discuss this later tonight after we address the larger problems that took you off the battlefield today.\"\n\n\"What's this now? Did some one get hurt,\" Rio asked as she extracted herself from the small knot of humans and taperwinged females who were her designated nurses.\n\nAgrok limped into the leather walled building and nodded to her stepmother, \"Yes, I ran afoul of a mage shielded against physical attacks and Tensaih is in need of tending as well.\"\n\n\"Tensaih was injured,\" the drake looked shocked, \"What on earth injured a Vyrekai out there?\"\n\nThe gryphoness laid her ears back sheepishly, \"I do believe that was my doing, but it is not physical injuries she needs tended.\"\n\n\"I, I lost my head out there and Agrok snapped me out of it,\" the silver female admitted as her snout angled down toward the floor with a shamed expression.\n\nRio gave a nod and waved at her nurses, \"Off with the lot of you, I can handle Agrok on my own and I think it's best a counseling session take place between trusted ears only.\"\n\n\"Yes master Rio, we shall continue preparations for incoming wounded then,\" a faded brown gryphoness with a white cloth draped over the base of her neck spoke up.\n\nThe drake gave a nod, \"Yes Jilian, you are a true healing student, you take command of the preparations in my stead. You'll need to be able to do this for yourself when you're done learning the arts.\"\n\nAgrok cocked a brow, she had not heard of Rio teaching gifted healing to others in their ranks. The drake reached out and grasped the straps and buckles of the finely tooled harness to begin loosening it so she could get a look at her stepdaughter's injuries. Tensaih settled herself down nearby and seemed to turn a darker eye inward at her own self. Agrok did not like what she was seeing.\n\n\"There we have it,\" Rio announced as she loosened and freed the last strap, \"Let's peal this off and see what you did to yourself. My dear dragoness, if you don't start talking I am going to have to declare you mentally unfit for service on account of emotional instability.\"\n\nTensaih looked up at the drake for a moment as if she had just woken up to find her near by, \"What is there to talk about? I lost it, I was slowly and cruelly killing a foe who couldn't begin to fight back, just like those savages who's ranks he came from.\"\n\n\"There's more to this than that, you may want to start with what set you off to feel so blood thirsty toward this particular being. I've seen you around Ronin and I know that you are not just heartless; Oh my word! Agrok, this is horrid,\" Rio gasped as the harness was pulled away from the partially charred flesh of Agrok's shoulder, \"I'm glad you were bright enough to come back home with this rather than trying to finish the battle. I don't even need to scry this to tell you that it would have been near certain to have hobbled you for life.\"\n\nThe gryphoness laid her ears back, \"I was going to fight on it, Grenz is the one who forced the painslayer on me to at least numb it. I came back because I had to stop Tensaih.\"\n\n\"Well you can thank him for sparing you the scars,\" the drake replied with a bit of a snap, \"You need to be more careful sweetheart, one or two large victories doesn't make you invincible. Now hold still while I patch this back up. Thank the pantheons of all the realms for the healing properties of painslayer.\"\n\nAgrok nodded sheepishly as Rio set to work on her shoulder, pouring her energies into the wounded section to force the live portions to separate from the dead flesh and skin and regrow quite rapidly. The throbbing intensified for only a second's time as the injury healed to a more sore stage and past that to the stages that the pain began to fade. She noticed Tensaih watching with a strange expression, somewhere between frustration and self loathing.\n\nThe drake did not look away from her work as her attention shifted back to Tensaih, \"You should be happy that some one cares so much for you that they would set their own pride aside to make sure you are well. Such a thing is rare and what ever had you set off like you were, you should always remember this personal sacrifice Agrok made for you.\"\n\n\"That is part of the problem,\" Tensaih swallowed hard as she braced herself to reveal her secret once more.\n\nAgrok placed a foreclaw on her hand and nodded, \"It's okay, Rio is a good soul. She can be trusted not to judge you.\"\n\n\"This is a bit big then, I promise to look at this from a professional angle if it is something I may not agree with. The patient's well being above my own views, always,\" the drake smiled warmly as she carefully guided Agrok's muscles to regrow in the right shape.\n\nThe silver female gave a soft sigh, \"Very well, I am what the humans call a lesbian. Agrok is aware of the fact that I am attracted to her, but she also knows I am content to have such a wonderful friend. The fact that she was hurt by an arcane force she could not fight back against set off old pains of losing my entire species to the Legion's Nine Powers. I got nearly all my taste of vengeance in that great battle by slaying seven of them and badly wounding GahlByrn's soul. But I was not there for most of the battle, I was summoned late by the humans from my place of exile. Agrok got hurt because I was late to return back to her to deal with that last mage and it just made everything flood back through my heart like a wall of magma burning with the need to show them the pain they cause in a way they could understand.\"\n\n\"This is a rather tricky situation indeed, and you do need to get this under control,\" Rio nodded gently as a new layer of surface skin grew over Agrok's former wound, \"There you go sweetheart, you are patched up at least. I can't force feathers to grow, but I was able to nudge at the signals for your body to prepare to molt. It should only be a week or so with that bald patch. I'll see about having you a vest made to keep you from losing body heat and to pad your harness until then. As for what I want to do with Tensaih, I'm going to talk to Malehk and Reyfis to have you taken off active duty for a few days to recover from this little episode. After that, it is my professional opinion that you should face this demon head on in a manner that will let you also remedy your fear of losing Agrok to another mage. I'm going to see about having you paired together as a single unit.\"\n\nTensaih nodded gently, \"I think I can deal with that much better than I have dealt with this first battle. I do refuse to remain idle during my leave, I will instead focus all my attention on constructing the national shielding that Tahkra has requested.\"\n\n\"That is acceptable, so long as you aren't out in the field without a dire emergency that requires a Vyrekai mage,\" Rio nodded in acceptance of Tensaih's terms, \"This is also not over, you and I will talk in private later tonight. I sense that there is more to this that you can't or simply are not ready to discuss even with Agrok. You will talk to me and I will remain confidential about what you say, but you will tell me everything, are we clear on this?\"\n\nSilver lips pulled back in a thin tight smile, \"I never question the orders of my healer, especially when it's my best friend's step mother.\"\n\n\"Good, now I want you two to help my nurses get supplies in order, we have wounded on their way and you have eaten enough of my time for now,\" the violet tipped female grasped Tensaih's hand and placed it on one of Agrok's harness straps, \"Don't get too cozy as you dress back up. That report was only two minutes before you arrived, so any second now.\"\n\nAgrok gave a nod, \"Of course, even if I agreed to an intimate arrangement with Tensaih, I would never put such interests in any priority to potentially harm others like that.\"\n\n\"I have to agree with you on that one,\" Tensaih lifted the harness and tucked it neatly beneath one of the raised beds, \"I do not think that will be necessary to handle wounded troops from our own side.\"\n\nThe gryphoness gave a wry grin, \"You just want to see me working naked, you wicked wicked thing you.\"\n\n\"Agrok, focus. As friendly as that may be with Grenz, it may not be best for Tensaih right in this moment, nor do we have time for it,\" Rio gave her a soft tap on the beak with the tip of her tail, \"Get this place and yourselves ready, I wont ask you again.\"\n\n\"Yes ma'am,\" both gryphon and dragon replied quickly and sprang into action to gather medical supplies and surgical tools.\n\n\\* \\* \\\n\nGrenz was starting to think he had made a mistake in his selection of prey while he was flying solo in the current battle. The heavy fighters were easy enough, all he had to do was avoid their swings and knock them down. He had not accounted for the light infantry that was with them, much quicker and more agile in their leather armor than the lumbering plate wrapped juggernauts. It was these fellows that were putting the heavy footed broadwing through the courses, if he could get a hold of one he would demolish the poor sap. He was going to have to rethink his tactics and that had him sorely wishing that Agrok was at his side again. Her speed and agility would have made quick work of the slippery little buggers and he wasn't sure his heavy muscular body could follow her agile fighting style to throw them off. Tensaih would have even been a blessing as her frost breath would have at least made enough ice to trip them up. A narrow miss with a well placed hand scythe seemed to cut the cloud over the gryphon's mind, he had the answer already; Tensaih. She had crafted some sort of weapon for him to try out prior to the battle, what had she said though?\n\nRed, fire, incendiary, yellow... what the hell was yellow?\n\nHe struck at an opening with a powerful foreclaw strike, only to fall into the trap. Another of the light fighters darted in toward his stretched flank and attempted to pierce his flesh with a thin bladed rapier. That was not the only trap set as Grenz had anticipated the trap to begin with. His own strike was not a committed one, and he easily turned his strike into a backhanded slash that caught the human in the ribcage where his talons easily punctured the leather armor. The wicked curved claws of the massive broadwing glided through the flesh along the bones, tearing and ripping with ease as they shredded skin, muscle, and lungs until he reached the sternum where he griped tightly.\n\nGrenz had a new gruesome weapon, but the heavy fighters had managed to close in during the maneuver. The closest, a short stocky figure so heavily armored that Grenz could not make out hair or even skin color, took a swing with his sword. The gryphon blocked with his lifeless flesh shield and the leather armor did the trick, however it was severely damaged by the blow. He couldn't block such a swing with the corpse again. The light infantryman that had returned was another story, his hand scythes were easily deflected with the body of his own partner. The second block gave Grenz momentum, and an idea. He followed through with the swing to jerk the scythes from the lighter fighter's hands and sent the corpse crashing into the heavy fighter, toppling the man and making an overturned turtle of him. The gryphon moved quickly and snatched up the hand scythes, ripping them free with a shower of gore as his strength forced them through the flesh of his shield. He slammed one down onto the throat of the heavy fighter, hoping to pierce his mail beneath. The gryphon heard a solid thunk instead of the sharp chink and gurgling he should have. A gorget, the bastard went as far as to add a gorget to his armor somehow.\n\nNo wonder his chest plate looked too big, well no big deal. There's always one place that can't be armored.\n\nGrenz raised the second hand scythe an brought it down with a mighty swing directly into the visor of the helmet only to be rewarded by the short lived screech of pain and terror along with the wet shlink of the blade sinking into an eye socket. One heavy and one light down, the count was one gryphon still against one more heavy and four more light fighters. A roar pierced the sky and brought all eyes up for a brief moment as a smaller breed of some sort short furred dragon winged over the battle field with a splash of some sickly green liquid. Screams of pain and the acrid smell of potent bile told Grenz that the beast was spitting a highly corrosive acid onto their troops. The mages probably expended most of their energies by that time, so there was only one being on the field with a chance at stopping the beast. He left his opponents behind as he leaped to the air to pursue a beast more than four times even his great size. The gryphon had no idea how he was going to beat the thing, but he was the only one with any kind of chance at fighting it.\n\nThe white furred beast landed on a pack of footmen and raked at the humans with terrible claws and snapping jaws. Grenz eyes went wide at the destruction that was laid out upon his comrades, and at the same time he was inspired at a risky method of dispatching the small wyrm. Anatomy lessons from Saltriss echoed in his head as he was taught to fight drakes and similar draconic creatures, there was a thick loop of bone in the cheek where the jaw muscles connected to the lower jaw. He had to hit it just right if this was to work. The broadwing took a deep breath as he took aim and tucked his wings to launch into a power dive right at the most likely place where the next bite would come. Another gryphon joined the fray and leaped onto the thing's back to try and claw at the base of it's neck. The dragon bucked and tried to curl around to snap at the other gryphon. Grenz couldn't back out of his dive anymore, he swore under his breath as he knew he was going to die under the jaws of the furry serpent. Just when hope was gone, the dragon threw the other gryphon form it;s back and reared it;s head back to ready an acid attack. The attack would never land where it was intended, for his head had reared right in line for Grenz to make his strike, grassing the beast by that boney cheek and clinging tight with his powerful foreclaw. The momentum wrenched his forelimb quite badly, but he held on even as he felt the limb leave the shoulder socket. His speed and force began to transfer into a swing beneath the dragon's neck, with his firm grip on the cheek ring it's head twisted with that same swing. Grenz felt himself stop too soon and landed on the side of the beast's neck. He refused to give up and grasped tight to the monster's neck to pull with every ounce of strength in a tug of war that would leave the loser dead. He pressed his attack through the blinding pain in his left shoulder as he puled until at long last there was a loud wet crack beneath him.\n\nGrenz had wrenched victory right out of the Legion's hands with his bare foreclaws, but he was injured and spent after that battle of strength and will. He hit the ground hard next to the other gryphon as he scrambled away. The heroic broadwing was not so able bodied or lucky as the gryphon he had saved, as the body of the dragon slumped on top of him to cause several more crushing bone fractures. With their ace in the hole laying dead on the ground, the Legion had spent far too much in resources to justify the village they had come to raze and began to retreat.\n\nThe pain was so intense that Grenz could not make any sounds or sights out clearly. He knew the other gryphon was trying desperately to free him form beneath the body of the dragon. Others were joining the effort, but the pain forced his eyes closed and brought a ringing in his ears that dulled all the sounds around him. The weight of the dragon was finally lifted or rolled off his back just before dozens of hands and foreclaws grasped him and started to lift him up off the ground and igniting every damaged portion of his body in blinding pain.\n\nHe could just make out the familiar voice of Saltriss as he felt soft feathers against strong muscle take the weight under his belly, \"Sorry lad, but we have to get you out of here if you're to live through your stupid move.\"\n\n\"Sh.. should have thrown Tensaih's balls at it,\" he managed to croak out before he slipped into unconsciousness\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nRaizehl was hard at work weaving a new basket for Abigail's toys, mostly to keep herself occupied while the hurried counter offensive took place with some of the few people she knew. They didn't really need the basket, but it was something to keep her mind off the heat of battle and the bottomless gullet of the war that was surely growing fat on the lives it would swallow that day. Abigail herself had thankfully taken to a sound nap that kept her from noticing that some of her favorite grown ups were missing. The elder female gave a soft sigh, being a mother at her age would have been difficult enough with her mate, but she was finding it quite overwhelming on her own. She was too old to start a new relationship, especially with a child in tow. Her only saving grace was the many friends of Agrok and Tahkra who adored the gryphlet and generously offered to aid in watching her from time to time so Raizehl could rest or conduct chores she couldn't with an energetic little ball of fluff and adorable mischief dashing about.\n\nAbigail started to stir and squirm restlessly in her sleep. It was but a moment before she was thrashing in her now troubled sleep right before her mother's eyes. Suddenly the gryphlet sprang to her feet with a terrified and heart wrenching cry. She sniffed and whined at her favorite comfort item, a single wing feather from Agrok's rival and soul brother, Grenz. Abigail turned a sad and questioning look on her and pipped a pathetic little plea of inquiry.\n\n\"I'm sorry sweetheart, Grenz went to go fight the bad people and make them leave,\" Raizehl cooed softly to her tiny daughter.\n\nThat answer did not seem to satisfy the gryphlet as she responded by darting over to the door of their dwelling and sniffing about the flap.\n\n\"Oh Abigail, come away from there,\" Raizehl called as she started to stand.\n\nHer daughter was not listening as something was driving her, some force that the gryphoness could not understand. The gryphlet slipped out of the dwelling with a calling keen, like a lost gryphlet searching for it's parents. Raizehl struggled to gain ground on the sprinting gryphlet as she made her way to the gathering dwelling that she had first met Grenz in. The gryphoness thought she had her cornered as she came upon the Abigail nosing about the most common laying spot for the huge male.\n\n\"Abigail you stop right this instant,\" she pounced on her daughter and grasped her in a foreclaw.\n\nShe gasped as the gryphlet squirmed and bit her foreclaw with all her might in an attempt to escape. Raizehl cried out in pained surprise and dropped her daughter in the shock. Abigail darted off the instant her tiny paws hit the ground, heading toward the outer edge of the village. The elder female shook off the pain of her bleeding foreclaw and charged after her daughter, already showing signs of being winded as her age began to show. She caught sight of her again as neared the dwelling Jirri shared with Grenz. Thankfully the priestess had just come out of her dwelling to catch the interest of the gryphlet as she sniffed at the forepaws of the black feathered female.\n\n\"Abigail? What are you doing way over here,\" Jirri asked the gryphlet softly as Raizehl used the pause to close the distance.\n\n\"Jirri, help! Something has Abigail all wound up and she wont stop dashing about, please grab her,\" the elder mother pleaded as the gryphlet let out a frustrated little trill at the priestess.\n\nBefore Jirri could manage an attempt at grabbing her, Abigail slipped inside her dwelling and began to search and sniff about. Raizehl felt some relief that she was inside a dwelling again where she could be cornered and some embarrassment that she had invaded that dwelling in such a manner.\n\n\"Raizehl, be calm please. There has to be a reason she is doing this and that reason should help us calm the child,\" Jirri placed a forepaw on Raizehl's shoulder to calm her friend, \"She is inside the home of good friends, she is safe in there.\"\n\nThe elder female gave a gentle nod, \"Right, but what could she possibly be doing? She woke from a fitful dream and started dashing about like mad. She bit me when I caught her.\"\n\n\"Let's remain calm and observe her behavior to see if we can discern what she is looking for,\" Jirri suggested gently as she pulled the door flap aside to offer entry, \"I have a theory, but I need to see more of her actions to be sure.\"\n\nRaizehl tried hard to calm herself as she stepped into the dwelling to find Abigail sniffing at one of the rugs in the greeting chamber, \"What do you think she is looking for?\"\n\n\"Not what,\" the priestess corrected gently as she stepped inside as well to sit and watch the gryphlet, \"It's who.\"\n\nAbigail cheeped at the two elder females for a moment before she sniffed at the rug again and began to sniff her way through the chamber until she nosed past the flap leading into the sleeping chamber. Both the adults followed along quietly, finding the gryphlet sniffing at one specific side of the sleeping mat where she let out the most pathetic little frustrated whine and flopped down for a moment.\n\n\"I am almost certain now,\" Jirri said softly, \"That's the side Grenz sleeps on, and that was his rug in the greeting chamber, she is looking for him.\"\n\nRaizehl laid her ears back firmly, \"But why would she be looking for Grenz?\"\n\n\"She has taken quite a shine to him over any other male, she has likely imprinted him as her father in the absence of Muktuh,\" the priestess explained her suspicions.\n\nAbigail's ears perked and her head came up off her tiny foreclaws as she began to sniff at the air again. She gave a sharp cheeping squeal before she exploded into a full run and scampered out of the chamber and the dwelling altogether. Raizehl gasped and turned to pursue her daughter with Jirri close behind. The gryphlet was running at full trot with her nose to the air, following some scent the two elder females had not picked up. Her little legs carried her like a shot from a crossbow as she homed in on what ever it was she was following on the wind. Raizehl gave a bit of a gasp as the gryphlet darted into the entrance of Rio's make shift hospital. All the other people about the entrance had been too busy to take notice of the tiny body streaking by. The two adult females were a bit harder to ignore as they pushed their way through after the gryphlet. Jirri politely asked for forgiveness and excuse for their hurried press through the people rushing about their work.\n\n\"Abigail? Oh no, Jirri I've lost sight of her! Abigail? Abigail,\" Raizehl called out frantically as she searched about desperately for her daughter.\n\nAn excited and triumphant squeal caught her ear as Jirri caught up to her. The frantic mother pushed her way quickly toward the source of the sound only to find her daughter circling and pacing about one of the larger sturdy tables meant for gryphons where Rio herself was working on a large black and iron gray lump of feathers. Abigail stood up against one of the table legs and tried to jump up, only to fall flat on her back. She looked about for a moment before she found a way to get higher, climbing a lower table nearby and crouching for a jump.\n\n\"Abigail, no,\" Raizehl whispered in a bit of a hiss as she reached for her daughter.\n\nJirri grabbed her foreclaw and shook her head at her friend as the gryphlet made her attempt at leaping the space between tables. She made it, but only just, her tiny foreclaws grasping the edge as her hind quarters swung and kicked about frantically, knocking over the tray of medical tools that had been standing next to the table where the drake had been working on the great broadwinged male.\n\n\"Oh? What's this now,\" Rio blinked away the haze of a deep healing trance that had been broken by the crashing of her tools on the floor, \"What are you doing here Abigail?\"\n\nThe gryphlet gave a little chirp as she managed to haul herself up and sniffed at Grenz' neck and cheek. She gave his cheek a few soft licks before climbing over his powerful forelimb and curling against his neck with a little sympathetic whimper. The drake smiled and stroked the little one's back and wings as she absorbed the heart warming scene before the three of them.\n\n\"You have good timing Abigail, I was just about to break trance for the day and I see you have brought just the lady I wanted to see as well,\" Rio smiled at Jirri, \"Your brave bird has taken a dragon to the back it seems, as Sal taught him how to kill them but not how to land the body safely. He had some internal bleed and several fractured bones. I've patched most of that up, but his shoulder is a concern, it seems he has wrenched it from the socket and done a real number on the tendons and muscles. I will have him walking tomorrow morning, but he's not going to be fighting fit for at least a week.\"\n\nThe priestess nodded gently and smiled warmly as she stroked Grenz' neck, \"Thank you so very much Rio. He is a brave soul, but often reckless about it, but he does give every ounce of his strength to help and protect others. But I believe there is another big concern for Raizehl that needs addressing since Grenz is now fine.\"\n\n\"What do you mean,\" the elder gryphoness asked as she settled as close as she could to her daughter.\n\n\"Abigail has chosen her papa, and she is quite strongly attached if she came here in defiance of you, before either of us knew that Grenz was hurt. I know you wish for her to always know that Muktuh was her daddy, but I am sure he would understand if you let Grenz fill the gap of the father figure for Abigail. She has already imprinted him as such, and I am sure that Grenz wont mind being the male influence in her life,\" Jirri stated her case to her older friend.\n\nRio look to them both and nodded her goodbye, \"I'll leave you two to discuss this, I do have quite a few patients after this latest battle. Hopefully we can make sure there are much fewer letters for the generals to write.\"\n\nRaizehl didn't move as the drake collected her tools and left them by the fallen warrior, her eyes stayed locked on some unseen point beyond the floor. She fought inside herself with the idea of letting another male step up as a sort of foster father to Abigail. Part of her felt as though that would betray her fallen mate, but she also needed to raise their daughter to be as happy and healthy as possible to honor his memory as well. It was a rather difficult scale to balance and the single mother was finding it impossible to address with everything else she had on her plate with raising Abigail.\n\n\"Jirri.. I.. I just can't,\" she started to reply but lost her voice in her own tears as the pressures of being a single mother and the grief of losing her mate the way she had came crashing down on her heart.\n\nThe priestess held her friend as she finally broke under all the pressure, weeping against the black feathered shoulder that had cared for so many others with the love of the Consorts.\n\nOne of Rio's nurses arrived just then to check on the large male, only to find himself being warned off by a furious gryphlet hissing and slashing at him in an impressive threat display for her tiny size. The human attempted to sneak around her several times, nearly catching a nasty bite at every attempt.\n\nHe finally heaved a sigh and looked at the two females, \"Would you please get your child under control before I am forced to sedate her?\"\n\nA deep rumbling growl cut off any response anyone would have had, \"Abigail, enough,\" Grenz gave the stern yet gentle order that calmed and cowed the gryphlet instantly, \"She is not a stupid animal, there's something about you that she doesn't want near her injured papa Seeing your behavior, I don't blame her. Since healer Rio was just here with me, what ever you were going to do can't be that important so feel free to leave. But before you go, you make sure it is well known that if anyone, for any reason, ever lays an aggressive hand or talon on my Abigail they will be losing that limb and more.\"\n\n\"B-but healer Rio sent me to check your vitals to make sure she hadn't worn you out too much with her healing,\" the brown haired human sputtered in protest.\n\nGrenz gripped the table, expressing his strength even while he was injured, by digging his talons into the wood and causing it to crack and splinter, \"You go back out there and let her know this task will not prove instrumental to your dreams of a long and healthy life.\"\n\nAbigail gave a smug little chirup to the human as Grenz burned a hole in him with his angry gaze, forcing the man to leave to face the wrath of the angry drake as opposed to facing the massive aggressive broadwing.\n\nThe gryphlet purred her little head off when Grenz reached his beak down to tenderly nuzzle her cheek, \"Thanks squirt, but I think I can handle getting myself into trouble all too well on my own.\"\n\nRaizehl couldn't believe what she was seeing, Jirri was right in her theory of Abigail's imprinting the huge male as a father figure. That only made her inner battle all the more fierce as a guilt joined in with her twin feelings of betrayal.\n\n\"Abigail will stay with me tonight, she seems to need it, and frankly, so do I,\" Grenz spoke to the two females before he turned his eyes to them, \"You two can get to work on bringing Raizehl and Abby's stuff to our dwelling to move them in. Muktuh was rumored to be a good soul deep down and fought hard to protect his people and his daughter, I wont dishonor his memory by letting his mate fail their daughter with confused and mixed emotions. The greatest honor is ensuring his legacy grows and carries on with Abigail, strong and healthy as her father was in life. She WILL know him through story and shared memories from her mother, but she will not live with need of a papa of her own. Are we all in the same point of understanding?\"\n\nRaizehl bristled a bit at his harsh and brash words, who was he to tell her what would happen with her and her daughter's lives? This male was simply barging in to take the place of her mate and.. and..\n\nHer heart stopped in her throat, he wasn't taking over, he was doing what a close friend of brother would have done; this strange male to her was taking care of the fallen chief's family. He wasn't challenging anything she would have done out of a desire to take control, he was protecting Abigail from her indecision. The more he thought about it, he was giving up far more than they would have been by having them in his home with his mate and himself still early in their union, and still not having consummated their bonding at all. This young warrior was not ready to produce children of his own, but he was taking up the mantle of a father for the young gryphlet who lost her own father just before she was born.\n\nRaizehl was flooded with such a rush of mingled and confusing emotions that she couldn't tell what she felt, all she could do his stare blankly at the injured male with tears falling from her eyes to roll down and soak into her feathered cheeks. There was just too much happening too close together for her to cope with. A huge foreclaw fell gently on her shoulder and something inside her almost expected to see Muktuh when she looked up.\n\nHer mate was not who she seen, instead it was the living form of Grenz, \"Hey, we're doing this to help. You've been through a lot and we don't want to see it all crush your spirit. Abigail needs her mother in one stable piece to help her grow and develop into a lady of equal strength and beauty. For now, she can look to Papa Grenz and Aunty Jirri to help her with what she needs until you recover enough to take the bulk of her care. Okay? You just come and recover from everything that has happened and we'll make sure Abigail is just as healthy and strong in mind and body as sh can be right before your eyes.\"\n\nRaizehl finally gave in to the offered help and nodded gently as she finally made a decision. She would do everything she could for Abigail, even if that meant letting another male stand up and act as her father. Grenz was a good male and in a lot of ways, he reminded her of Muktuh, stubborn, head strong, smart, quiet, focused, and loving. The seemingly gruff and irritable male was actually showed a lot of care for people in general when it really mattered. Only those who knew him in a close level or were close to his close friends ever seen enough of him to witness enough of those moments to see the real heart beneath his shell. The elder female was finding herself within that circle of close friends to see this warrior for the big softhearted bird he really was and it was that soft heart that made her trust him enough to allow his terms to hold.\n\n\"She will need to eat again before she beds down for the night,\" Raizehl finally replied as Jirri held her.\n\nGrenz gave a gentle nod, \"That is fine. I will let her have her fill of my own meal, she can't possibly eat that much anyhow, can you squirt?\"\n\nAbigail gave a dismissive little 'harrumph' as she lay with her head held high and turning to identify every noise in the hospital structure. She was busy keeping watch over her wounded papa to be bothered with such worries as sharing food. It warmed Raizehl's heart to see her daughter so deeply bonded with a strong father figure that she acted to protect him while he was down.\n\n\"Thank you love,\" Jirri finally entered the conversation as she curled a wing around Raizehl, \"I do believe we can manage to take care of the move and getting our new roommate settled in and comfortable.\"\n\nHe gave a nod and settled his head down next to Abigail as the two females made their way out of the hospital structure. Raizehl couldn't help but think about how unusual the massive broadwing was, and she would have to be dead to not realize he was a handsome fellow. If she had met him earlier in her own life, he might have made a good match, but he was her best friend's mate and quite young for her. Grenz did make for a fitting savior and capable stand in for Abigail's slain father and for that, Raizehl had a feeling she would always be grateful\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nDinner was a rather quiet gathering that evening as everyone had their own private thoughts to dwell on and Rio was no different. The battle was won for the Titanian defenders, but it came at a heavy cost in terms of wounded and no mere handful of dead. The village of Kertesk had been turned from a major defeat into a narrow victory, leaving the ruins of the once large village in the hands of the defenders. So many wounded came in that Rio herself was afraid she would not have seen the end of them by the next evening's end. More disturbing were the ones who would never fight again, either by her inability to save them from their wounds, or the impossibility of repairing the damage to their bodily functions, such as mobility or, in one case, sight. The drake was not finished with her medical duties however, there was one last patient to see. Tensaih, the silver scaled beauty Agrok had brought home, was still rather damaged in her heart and it was effecting her mind. Such a situation was very dangerous when that mind controlled the knowledge and experience of a Vyrekai class mage who was rumored to have defeated GahlByrn. The heart was something she wasn't sure how to heal, granted she was fairly good at counseling, this was a bigger problem that she knew she would need a more focused professional to fix.\n\n\"Tensaih,\" Rio finally spoke into the silence, catching all the eyes in the room, \"I was going to ask Jirri to sit with us when we talk and see if she can add any insight of wisdom from the consorts to help heal what may have wounded your heart. I hope that is not too uncomfortable for you?\"\n\nThe dragoness looked down at her plate for a moment before she looked back up to answer, \"I do not believe it will be too large a burden, a priestess is a safe person to talk to about anything. If I can not discuss the matters in her presence, then this problem has poisoned my heart far beyond repair.\"\n\n\"I would be honored to aid the lady who saved Agrok's life,\" Jirri smiled her same serene smile that seemed to have been etched into her beak by her profession, \"One must remember, no one is beyond help if they open their hearts to another, be it the gods, or a kind soul willing to listen.\"\n\nReyfis cleared his throat gently, \"I will assist Raizehl with little Abigail's things to bury myself while you ladies talk, so our dwelling will be open to you.\"\n\n\"Thank you love,\" Rio smiled at her mate and kissed his cheek, \"I believe I myself am finished with my meal. I will await your arrival at my home.\"\n\nThe violet tipped healer stood and walked slowly from the new gathering hut toward the old, that now properly housed herself and Reyfis. she didn't make it far from the structure, only just out of hearing range, when Agrok came rushing up to her.\n\n\"Rio, wait up,\" the gryphoness called out to her.\n\nShe stopped and waited for her step daughter to catch up, \"Yes sweetheart, what is it?\"\n\n\"Please be gentle with Tensaih,\" Agrok asked softly with real concern in her eyes, \"I mean help her, but please be gentle. I know she is a bit fragile and I don't want to see her hurt any more than she already has been.\"\n\nThe drake looked the younger gryphoness over for a moment with narrowed eyes, \"You love her don't you? No, it is certain, but how is the question. I see the problem in that situation at least. Fear not, I will do my best to keep her safe from herself and from anything in my heart that would cause her harm.\"\n\n\"Thank you Rio,\" Agrok smiled and threw herself at her step mother for a tight hug.\n\nShe could not resist the urge to hold her right back, \"Oh stop it you, you already know that I would never hurt anyone intentionally. Especially not some one you care about.\"\n\n\"I still thank you Rio, especially for being understanding about her preferences,\" Agrok leaned back to smile at her.\n\nRio shook her head gently, \"Sweetheart, I would be the greatest hypocrite to walk the realms if I found fault with her preferences. I am not too different myself you know.\"\n\n\"But, you are with my father as his mate, how could you be the same as Tensaih,\" the gryphoness asked with a bit of shock in her eyes.\n\nThe healer shook her head and poked her step daughter's beak, \"I said not too different, not that I was the same. You see, I am bisexual, meaning that I have a desire for both males and females, so I understand her hungers quite a bit.\"\n\n\"Bisexual, I have never heard that term before,\" Agrok admitted her ignorance of the term with no shame, proving her comfort and trust of the drake as her step mother, \"I know bi is meaning something about two or both.\"\n\nRio smiled at her, \"Yes, there are similar terms for those like Tensaih who desire the same sex, and for those who desire strictly the opposite sex. Those would be homosexuals and heterosexuals. Yes, those are in order dear.\"\n\n\"Wait, so with what you and Kahlah were like when you freaked out over being with my father,\" Agrok started to ask around the real question.\n\nThe drake touched her cheek, \"Things with myself and Kahlah are rather complicated, but at one time, yes we did, but just once. She and I are more like sisters currently and she herself decided that she did not have a taste for females.\"\n\n\"I see, well I should let you go prepare for Tensaih,\" Agrok replied with a gentle nuzzle to her cheek, \"You've given me more to apply to the problem I have with Tensaih.\"\n\nRio smiled gently, \"It may be bad of me to say this, but I hope you can come to some arrangement to be paired. You two are simply beautiful together.\"\n\n\"Rio, you are* bad,\" the gryphoness gave her a gentle wing tap before she started on her way back to her own home.\n\nRio shook her head and laughed softly to herself, she shouldn't have been thinking about that at all with Tensaih coming for counseling She needed a mind that was free of personal agenda outside of seeing her patient recover from her emotional scars. Although Jirri could have easily acted as a buffer against anything that Rio might have been thinking right at that moment. Time would tell, she had to get to her dwelling and get set up first and then she had to wait for Tensaih and Jirri to arrive. No one was about to see her, so the drake gave a nimble leap into the air for her wings to carry her into the sky with a powerful down stroke. She only c,imbed just high enough to make a quick glide to the dwelling she and Reyfis shared. A nimble landing at the door brought her eyes up to see the stars, strangely familiar and yet so alien and unknown to her. It was the curse of those who traveled the realms to see other worlds, to never know the stars overhead.\n\nRio's mind wandered to the gryphon's deities, would they have approved of her and Reyfis? Could they have really accepted her as a fine daughter to match with their strong and proud son? Perhaps she would ask Jirri before the night was through, first she had a heart sick dragoness to heal and that normally started with tea. She had a fine blend that Krinzehl had given her as a peace offering after her jealous stance over Reltuh. It was a marvelous blend of mint and caramel flavors that came from a single plant that grew in the inner plains. It was called jemgiri and it had a slightly medicinal soothing effect at least as strong as the weaker drugs she had seen applied in her trade. It was a perfect choice for such an evening of in depth talk about embarrassing and just plain painful subjects.\n\nRio entered her dwelling and quickly set her small copper brazier to heat a small pot of water as she made a quick search for the fine tea. It didn't take long for her to locate the small leather pouch and measure out the proper amount for her straining container. The aroma of the dried leaves hit her nose with a pleasant swirl of sweet and earthy scents that only grew stronger when it was submerged in the heating water. The very smell of the tea was starting to bring a calm and soothing feeling over her as she settled what cushions she had for her guests. The stage was set, now she just needed her patient and co-counselor to arrive. Rio found herself with one of those rare moments in which she had nothing else to do, so she reached under her sleeping mat and pulled out an old book she had been trying to read since before she ever arrived on Eldarohnd. A strange tale of a brave little child knight who sought to protect his family from an invading band of pirates. She did not get far into her reading before there was a soft tap against the door support of her dwelling.\n\n\"Rio, are you here,\" Jirri's voice called softly from the other side.\n\nThe drake called out her reply, \"Yes I am, please do come in. I have a tea heating already.\"\n\n\"That is good,\" Jirri pulled the door flap back to reveal that she was not alone, \"I have brought a troubled young dragoness with me. Perhaps we can do something about lifting the weight on her heart and healing old wounds.\"\n\nRio nodded gently as she stood and motioned for them to enter, \"Yes, that is the goal here tonight, please do come in so we may begin. We have some ground to cover and some deep dark places to explore.\"\n\n\"Yes, of course,\" Tensaih nodded, though her silver ears were folded tightly back against her head as she entered the dwelling.\n\nJirri followed quietly into the soft light within the dwelling before she shut out the night, \"Tensaih, it would make me more comfortable delving into such personal things about you if you could somehow sound proof this dwelling so I know that no prying ears can wiggle their way in.\"\n\n\"Of course priestess Jirri,\" she replied as the sounds of the night disappeared without so much as a ripple in Tensaih's energies that the drake could sense.\n\nThis unnerved Rio more than anything, even the most skilled mages she had ever been around showed some energy feedback when blending as many spells as it took to create the silence bubble that Tensaih had just created. The ease with which she could cast was a testament to her power as well, and that power was in the hands of a heart sick dragoness with an unpredictable trigger. They needed to work hard and fast at healing that heart and restoring Tensaih to a stable state that would allow her to be a force of good that even GahlByrn himself would tremble at the mere mention of. That wasn't even taking into account what a stable Tensaih could mean for Agrok, especially if the two worked together along side a tough bird like Grenz.\n\n\"I still can't believe the awesome power you hold, even by the standards of the greats amongst the Vyrekai,\" Rio started the conversation with that observation, \"Surely the path to such power was instrumental in your current state of heart ache.\"\n\nTensaih nodded gently, \"It was, when my father exiled me for being a tailnuzzler-\"\n\n\"No Tensaih, not a tailnuzzler, that's a dirty word to the gryphons. You are a homosexual, or a lesbian, not a tailnuzzler,\" Jirri stunned them both with her interruption and knowledge of the terminology.\n\nThe dragoness gave a nod, \"Right, when he exiled me for being a homosexual, I had nothing but magic to turn to for any kind of comfort or companionship. I learned every arcane secret my people had ever recorded, and even developed new spells and variants of existing spells. I knew my power had grown but I would never know how much so until that horrid day.\"\n\n\"Yes, please go on, I have not heard of this day you speak of,\" Jirri urged gently as Rio found a cup to pour the dragoness some of the soothing tea.\n\nTensaih took the cup with a nod of thanks before she took a deep breath to continue on, \"The Legion had fallen upon my world and the dragon clans all agreed to stomp the invaders flat with a show of force from all the clans at once. This would prove to be a grievous mistake as the nine generals of the Legion all showed and made easy work of all the Ketzialan defenders. I was summoned late by the humans to join the battle, and when I arrived it was just my father left at the ruthless talons of GahlByrn. He was slain, and I had little choice but to make a stand. I defeated the nine, killing seven of them, and severely wounding GahlByrn himself. My new spells and my raw power was too much for them. I can no longer go home as I have locked the realm to a key that not even I can perform. All this time I have had nothing but vengeance and the hope to one day see the Legion fall.\"\n\n\"That is a bit of a dark companion to hold on to,\" Rio observed as she poured herself a cup of the strangely yellow green tea, \"You have never had any other friends or allies to find any companionship with? No lovers, even fleeting or passing flings?\"\n\nThe silver female shook her head, \"Never, I never trusted anyone enough to reveal myself. The risk was always too high to really be known at all. Being exploded for my body or my power would have only pushed me farther over that edge I seem to be looking over and made a monster of me. I have helped others and even walked amongst the dragons of Skanshial and Alderon, blending in with other ice dragons as just another silver scaled wyrm. I do believe it was Kahlah who has known my unseen aide in the past, having smashed arcane defenses of those besieging her and her comrades at that outpost. But when I found Agrok and her family, I witnessed a beautiful creature with such grace and courage in her heart. As I watched, I learned that she was proud to wear that heart on her shoulder for all to see. I could not help but wish to know her first hand, to be known by such a beautiful heart within such a beautiful lady. She only became more beautiful when she took to her combat training like she was born for it, she gave me hope that maybe, just maybe, I had found a potential ally who had a chance of stopping the Legion dead in their tracks. If I could help these strong and proud gryphons to face the Legion, then the defeat could be a shattering blow that would crumble the foundation of GahlByrn's foul dogs. Then she faced that fiend herself, knowingly giving up her life to protect her people by diving in the path of GahlByrn's wishes right before his eyes. I couldn't let her be lost like that so I sacrificed myself to his custody, knowing full well it was only a matter of time before he took what he did.\"\n\nRio wrapped an arm and wing around the heart sick mage as she curled in on herself and started to shudder with silent tears. Jirri settled herself closer to their patient to offer the soft warmth of her presence as well as that of the Great Mother. Neither of the counseling pair said a word for the longest of time, simply staying close to the wounded female and offering a sheltering presence.\n\nJirri finally cooed softly into her ear, \"It was a most bold and selfless sacrifice you made for the life of another and the hope of a fledgling nation. Arsiel herself could not ask such a harsh fate of her daughters for the good of so many, and you gave it freely. That was such a beautiful act of heroism, we can only hope to deliver the absolution of all this that you deserve and bring that beast to justice once and for all. I know we, nor the Consorts can ever repay you for the price you paid, but we will always stand at your side and support you from this day forth. The Daughters of Arsiel shall know the name of Tensaih Shieldra and what she gave for our people. Never will you find a cold shoulder amongst our sisterhood.\"\n\n\"Thank you, priestess,\" Tensaih replied at last, \"But my actions were not completely selfless, I have fallen quite firmly in love with Agrok during my time scrying her and her sister. I couldn't let her go, because she was my only chance to ever feel happy again. Even if we only ever became friends, I could be content just to know and be held in any good regard by such a heart. Then that bastard of a hedge wizard used the most focused magics that he could to specifically kill mundane fighters with no enchanted weapons or arcane protections. He wanted to hurt the friend I longed for all those decades. He was Legion too, an extension of GahlByrn's will, I could not bring myself to show any mercy. I had to show him the deepest fears I could subject him to, inflict as much pain as possible to return all that he caused. I was out of my own control and I forced Agrok to attack me to save my own soul. A downfall of which I am most ashamed and disgusted with myself for. I do not think your goddess would approve of such a beast trying to seduce her strongest daughter to nest with a female.\"\n\nJirri shook her head gently, \"While the Consorts do not condone homosexuality, they do not condemn it either. It is their wish that every last gryphon live happy with some one to love, even if that union does not produce a child like they would prefer. You are not so bad off to the eyes of the Consorts, and certainly not in the eyes of Arsiel, the Great Mother. You are a strong female to have overcome what you have and that is something Arsiel respects quite firmly.\"\n\n\"But what about my loosing control when the Legion hurts my loved ones,\" Tensaih asked with a troubled look in her eyes.\n\nRio smiled at the silver female, \"We are here to help you with that, and I think working directly with Agrok will help that quite a bit. You'll be there when she needs you and it will be your job to make sure she's okay. That will hopefully ease the fearful reactions of over protecting her in more ways than one. You'll be in place to protect her and you will get to see first hand just how well Agrok can handle herself.\"\n\n\"That does sound like a most effective solution to this problem,\" Tensaih admitted, \"But what about our commanding officer, are you so certain he will go along with it, or that he will wish to separate us so that I may not know when Agrok is in trouble?\"\n\nThe drake gave a toothy grin, \"You let me deal with your commanding officer, you'll be partnered before this night is over. Even if I have to pull rank on him.\"\n\n\"You hold higher rank as the chief healer,\" the mage asked with a tilt of her head.\n\nRio laughed softly, \"Oh heavens no, I out rank Reyfis as his mate.\"\n\n\"I had forgotten just who was our commanding officer in the midst of all this,\" Tensaih blushed softly under her scales.\n\nJirri smiled and raised herself back to her feet, \"It has been a tough day for everyone, it is understandable if a small detail slips through the cracks here and there. I do believe we have been up a bit late though, rest is something we will all need quite a bit to recharge after the exhausting day the Legion has put us through.\"\n\n\"Agreed,\" Rio stood and gave her patient a pat on the shoulder, \"Sleep, a heavy dose, healer's orders.\"\n\nThe dragoness gave a huge smile, \"Far be it for me to disobey my healers.\"\n\n\"Now if only the rest of the fighting forces could behave so well,\" the drake groaned as she thought of the headstrong behavior of most of her patients, \"At any rate, off with you and give Agrok a big hug and a kiss for me.\"\n\nTensaih blushed softly again as she nodded and slipped out the door into the night, \"They've kissed before I see.\"\n\n\"So it would seem,\" Rio turned her eyes back to Jirri with a bit of a smile, \"What do you think, shall we meddle a bit in this one and help dear Agrok become more, shall we say, comfortable with other females?\"\n\nJirri thought for a moment and nodded, \"This notion feels right, it is the will of Arsiel that Agrok bring Tensaih into the Great Mother's nest as her mate. I can only hope they are not going to see a subtle nudge as a reason to pull away from one another.\"\n\n\"We will watch them closely then and make sure we are not driving them apart,\" the healer smiled at her feathered friend, \"Now I have to figure out how to prepare Reyfis for his daughter the lesbian.\"\n\nJirri shook her head, \"Don't. From what I have seen of them, Reyfis will adjust much easier if he sees things growing between Tensaih and Agrok rather than bracing for it. Now I do believe he would be accepting of them either way, but he will step up himself and make sure Tensaih feels welcome as his daughter in law much more strongly than if he is waiting for something he has a chance to see the down sides of.\"\n\n\"You know what, you are right, but he does also have a right to know,\" Rio countered.\n\nThe priestess smiled warmly, \"Then we wont keep it from him, rather we will send him to talk to Agrok and Tensaih about what may or may not be happening. It is a matter of privacy after all.\"\n\n\"Sneaky, but technically true,\" the drake admitted, \"So we have an idea of what we will do about Agrok and Tensaih, but what about you and Grenz?\"\n\nJirri cocked a brow with elegant grace, \"What ever do you mean?\"\n\n\"I was in the same structure when he spoke up to Raizehl,\" Rio replied flatly, \"You realize that taking her into your home like that and having him act as Abigail's father figure essentially puts him in the role of her mate.\"\n\nThe priestess smiled to herself and nodded, \"Yes I do.\"\n\n\"And you are perfectly fine with that,\" the drake asked dryly.\n\nJirri opened her eyes once again and looked Rio dead in the eyes, \"Why would I be concerned? He is playing the part of her mate, but it is my feather on his ear, I love and trust him to no end. If he wishes to raise Abigail with Raizehl, then so be it; I get to watch her grow and learn before my eyes, as well as being a part of her life as well.\"\n\n\"I understand you trust Grenz and I have seen no evidence of underhanded behavior on his part, but what is she starts to feel he is her mate and starts to want certain things more as time goes on? He is a very attractive male after all, and she is certainly not beyond her fertility,\" the drake pointed out the obvious concerns she herself was having.\n\nThe priestess reached out a forepaw and rest it on Rio's shoulder, \"Raizehl has been my friend since I was a fledgeling, we are sisters in heart and soul. If she is so very much in need that she would consider some one so much younger than herself as Grenz, then I am glad to share what I have with her. She would never try to take him away, she cares too much for me to do that. Besides, many of my duties to the Consorts will keep me busy at some rather inopportune moments. I would rather she take care of him if he is in need than to know he suffered discomfort while he waited for me to be free and of good strength to tend to him.\"\n\n\"That is both beautiful and strange to me,\" the drake admitted with a shake of her head, \"I could never bring myself to share Reyfis with anyone, not even Kahlah.\"\n\nJirri smiled, \"Well that is a matter of difference in personal feelings and upbringing. I was groomed for priesthood before I could fly, always taught that what I own is gifted to me only through the grace of the Great Consorts and should be shared with those I know and love as though it were theirs as well.\"\n\n\"So if you share everything you have, what about.. you know,\" Rio gave a wiggle of her hips for emphasis.\n\nThe priestess almost burst into giggles, \"Oh dear not any more! Not that anyone had the gumption to ask, but I would have if that was truly what I felt they needed. Now it is no longer mine to give, it belongs solely to Grenz and I do not believe he is keen on sharing. To be honest, I am glad of that for I have a very understandable reason to refuse.\"\n\n\"Well, I'm glad that your lovely bird gives you that protection,\" the drake gave a bit of a smile, \"I am even more glad to hear that everything can only be well between you three in that house. Speaking of which, you should get over there and free my mate from his ill suited job as a mover so that I may tend to the inevitable strains and pulls he will be trying to cover up.\"\n\nJirri finally gave in to her giggles, \"Oh stop, Raizehl does not have that many things and certainly not any furniture large enough to ruffle a well fit male like Reyfis. Never the less, we part here my friend as I go to return your mate to you so we may move on with our wicked plans of sweet tender unions. Besides, I must commune with Arsiel about a particular subject.\"\n\n\"What subject is that, if I may ask,\" Rio cocked a scaly brow at the priestess as she stood to leave.\n\nJirri looked back over her shoulder with a smile, \"I must speak with the Great Mother about you.\"\n\nBefore she could respond the gryphoness disappeared into the night, leaving her to think about a great many things.\n\n\\* \\* \\\n\nMorning, it was different now, not the same hopeless dawning of a new day of exile and sneaking about in an endless stalk of the Soul Legion. The warm feathered body pressed against her side was a very welcome presence as she became more aware of the sensations around her. Agrok had found a security blanket in Tensaih and the dragoness had found she had the same effect on her in return. Neither of them complained about nightmares of their torture and abuse at the hands of the Legion. Tensaih refused to indulge in the warmth and lovely feel of the gryphon's sleek form when they curled up together each night, it was not for her personal pleasure in holding her so tight and she would not take advantage of being able to do so. Instead she just lay there and let her feathered friend rest, making sure to keep her own warm form against the odd bald spot that her injuries had given her. The accommodations that Rio had suggested seemed to point to an all too easily lost body heat through the uninsulated patch of skin.\n\nAgrok began to stir and yawned with a wide gape of her beak, \"Good morning silly dragoness. You don't have to wait for me to wake up to start your day hun.\"\n\n\"I did not wish to wake you, and your bald spot was against my chest,\" Tensaih explained, \"I figured you would appreciate the warmth if I stayed put.\"\n\nThe gryphoness smiled and gave her a soft nuzzle, \"I do, thank you Tensaih. I do believe there will be some sort of debriefing or general meeting with our wing regarding the attack and defense of Kertesk. Would you like something for breakfast?\"\n\n\"Oh just some coffee if you have any around,\" she replied as she extracted herself from the warm tangle of scales and feathers that was their snuggled mass.\n\nAgrok blinked for a moment, \"Coffee? What in the blazing pits is that?\"\n\n\"Hmm? Oh, you must not have it on this world. It is a bean that is usually ground and boiled to make a stimulating and rather bitter drink. If you don't have it here I can make do with tea,\" Tensaih found herself remembering she was not on her own world as a rather home like feeling had started to settle in her heart.\n\nThe gryphoness stretched her lean and well toned form before she shook herself and stepped out of the nest of bedding, \"I do believe I have some tea. Oh my, it is quite late in the morning. I hope Kahlah has already collected Ronin for her studies today.\"\n\nTensaih let her energies extend into the house to search and scry for the human girl, she did find fresh traces of Kahlah's arcane presence to indicate precisely what Agrok had suggested, \"I have residual traces that mark Kahlah's recent presence, so you are likely correct that she has taken the girl to her tutors.\"\n\n\"Oh thank goodness,\" the gryphoness heaved a sigh of relief, \"I would hate to see her get behind because I did something silly like sleeping in.\"\n\nShe smiled at her beloved friend and collected her harness to offer it to her, \"Well shall we get started with our own day of responsibilities then to make up for Ronin's missed morning?\"\n\n\"Okay, you win,\" Agrok conceded with a playful gryphon smile, \"Help me into my harness?\"\n\nTensaih turned the harness around and held it up, \"Very well, but mind you, I have never dressed a gryphon before so don't fault me for broken feathers.\"\n\n\"Oh I trust you are more than bright enough to figure out how to put a harness on with the feather grain,\" the gryphoness replied as she turned and slipped a forelimb into the harness before she raised the other to shrug into the leather chest guard\n\nTensaih used a hand to gently push a few feathers down flat beneath the harness before she reached for the buckles and straps, \"You never know, I am bright in arcane physics and spell casting. This is something that requires physical action, very much not the basic spell casting.\"\n\n\"Are you trying to make a joke now? Because I just hear a lot of self abusing excuses,\" Agrok grinned at her as she pulled the first strap through it's buckle and tightened it down.\n\nThe dragoness gave a snort as she buckled down the strap, \"I think you secretly enjoy this, making me work for you and put my hands all over your sides and chest. Such a bad gryphoness you are to take advantage of a poor dragoness like me.\"\n\n\"Oh you are loving this, don't act like you aren't,\" the gryphoness gave a little poke to her nose, \"Besides, you have gentle hands that make your touch rather pleasant as opposed to some big strong male that would rather display his strength by crushing me in his grip. You know I couldn't take advantage of you eve if I wanted to, I simply do not know how. I supposed I could get creative with a little rubbing in some strategic places, or possibly pretend I'm a male and use my tongue, but can such an interaction between bed mates really only involve foreplay?\"\n\nTensaih felt her hands shaking and shuffled her feet a bit as she felt a familiar warmth below her belly, \"Agrok, can you please stop talking like that?\"\n\n\"Like what,\" the warrior asked with a tilt of her head.\n\nThe mage heaved a soft sigh, \"All obliviously seductive about a rather pleasant topic such as that was, it does have an effect on me. Even more so while I am touching you and trying to put your harness on for you.\"\n\n\"I thought you were all about that sort of thing, unless you are a virgin,\" Agrok asked as she couldn't seem to understand the dragon's discomfort.\n\nTensaih shook her head gently, \"I am very much not a virgin, but think about the situation on the whole. I am indeed very attracted to you hun, you know that, and you are talking about things you could do to me in an intimate engagement. I have those thoughts in my head and my hands on you, the object of my arousal when I dare not make such an advance. It is maddening and awkward as a young male helping me while I instruct you on just how to tend to my body. The poor fellow wouldn't be able to hide his interests and be rather uncomfortable and embarrassed\"\n\n\"Oh, I'm so sorry Tensaih,\" Agrok laid her ears flat and leaned her head in to give her a soft nuzzle on the cheek, \"I just didn't think about that at all, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable or tease you so.\"\n\nTensaih smiled at her, \"It's okay hun, I can't be cross with you when you look so cute as you try to make things up to me.\"\n\n\"Well, I still need to find a way to find out more about how it's done, otherwise I am trying to weigh and measure something blindly,\" the warrior sighed as she looked over her harness and moved a bit to test the fit, \"Oh hun, if the feathers are laid right could you tighten the straps a bit more? It needs to fit like my own skin.\"\n\nThe silver female gave a nod and grasped the straps to unhook and tighten them even more, \"Sure, and I will write something up for you when I have more spare time so you can have a better idea of how things are done. Really it would be an experiment for me as well, as I have never been with a gryphon before.\"\n\n\"Well I'm sure that tail of yours would come in handy,\" Agrok grinned playfully as she nudged the dragon's tail with her foreclaw.\n\nTensaih shook her head, \"No the tail does not* come in handy. I may feel soft when you hug me, but these scales are as hard as your talons and they can lift when rubbed in reverse. You wouldn't want them lifting as they are being forced into some delicate places now would you?\"\n\n\"I can't say that I would enjoy such an event,\" the gryphon laid her ears flat against her skull, \"Well you got my harness right, so we should get moving so we can have that debriefing done and get on to our next assignments\"\n\nThe mage gave a nod and turned toward the door, \"Yes, that is a wise decision. I know I need to put more work into the nation wide wards that Tahkra has asked for.\"\n\n\"I thought shielding and warding spells were fairly easy to cast, at least that is what Kahlah says,\" Agrok cocked a brow as she mentioned what she had heard.\n\nTensaih shook her head gently, \"it is not that these spells are difficult to cast as far as their base creation, it is the sheer magnitude of the area being shielded that is making this task a tremendous feat of arcane skill and power for one mage, even a Vyrekai, to perform. That doesn't even take into account that I am making several different shields and weaving them together to help them protect against different effects as well as guarding one another from being dispelled or tampered with.\"\n\n\"That does sound like a rather tall order that my sister has asked placed before you to fill. I'm sorry that Tahkra has placed this burden upon you dear,\" the gryphoness laid her ears back against her head.\n\nThe mage shook her head once again as they began to descend the stairs, \"I understand her request, especially since she is a young queen who is setting all the standards for every leader to follow in her footsteps. A great asset has fallen into her paws and she wishes to best apply this resource to protect her people from the threat that has decimated some of the most powerful nations your world had to offer. This task may be tremendous, but it is a necessary burden.\"\n\nAgrok fell silent as they descended the stairs, making Tensaih wonder if she were upset with her acceptance of of the task before her. Tensaih found herself hoping that she had not caused a point of friction between the warrior and her sister. The pair would need one another in the days to come for certain. The legion was going to test every fiber of Titania's strength and try to break them all. Every quiet step they took toward the front door made her increasingly uneasy as her fears ate at the edge of her heart.\n\nOnce Tensaih's hand touched the door knob she could no longer stand the silence and turned to face her friend, \"Agrok.. why are you smiling like that?\"\n\n\"After all that's happened you still think of the greater good of those who can't defend themselves against the arcane,\" Agrok had a strange little twinkle in her lovely eyes, \"You don't want me to talk about things that make you warm in the belly, but you go and show such a wonderful heart like that? You keep being perfect and you are going to have to deal with some teasing and flirting more and more as I grow ever more fond of you. By the Consorts, if you were male there would have been nothing wrong with me to stop me from locking you away with me for weeks.\"\n\nTensaih felt her heart racing as Agrok stepped closer and rubbed her cheek against the mage's scaly cheek, \"Agrok..\"\n\n\"Hush, don't say anything is wrong with you,\" the gryphoness touched a talon to her lips, \"It's me that has a problem, else I would have been yours already. Just let me deal with this personal issue, please hun? I don't want you to thunk you are anything less than beautiful in heart, mind, and body.\"\n\nShe could only nod to that as the talon stayed on her lips, she wasn't sure what would happen next in that moment or in their strange relationship. All she knew was that something was there and that neither one would let go of the other for anything.\n\n\\* \\* \\\n\nGrenz grumbled to himself as he lay trapped in his pile of pillows and cushions, \"I'm a warrior, I need a good sleeping mat not this frilly pile of comfortable clothy poofs.\"\n\n\"You are an injured bird and being comfortable will help you heal more comfortably and just a bit faster,\" Jirri countered as she donned her traditional adornments of her station as the village priestess, \"Besides, you have a mate who is not a warrior that does enjoy being comfortable from time to time. Or do you not wish to sleep together any longer?\"\n\nHe gave a snort, \"Fine, I'll put up with it, but only for you and maybe Abby here. Maybe I can turn you into a tom boy so I'm not completely surrounded by girls.\"\n\nThe gryphlet gave a trilling chirp before she pounced his foreclaw once more. Even as hurt as he was, Grenz could not resist playing with the sweet little one that had captured his heart. He bit back the pain as he grabbed at her forequarters with his foreclaw and waved it about to keep her moving and trying to grab and bite at his digits. He had heard the humans about the village observe that gryphlet behavior was something of a combination of kitten and puppy antics with more than twice the energy. Grenz was uncertain exactly how accurate that was, because he had seen neither a kitten nor a puppy in his life as gryphons rarely kept any kind of pet.\n\nHis priestess smiled warmly as she watched the two at play, \"It is comforting to know that you will make a fine father for our own children.\"\n\n\"That is something I look forward to,\" he rumbled softly with a deep purr as they both reached their necks out to rub cheeks, \"I'm sorry you are having to wait sweetheart, just something doesn't feel quite right yet.\"\n\nJirri shook her head with a loving smile, \"It is no worry love, I know you will be worth the wait when you find that balance at last. But this does remind me that I must speak to you of something else along those lines.\"\n\n\"What is on your mind,\" he asked with a hint of caution to his voice.\n\nThe priestess gave a deep sigh and closed her eyes, \"It is one thing to feel it and to talk about it with Rio, it is quite another to face my own mate and say it, but I must let you know that I am aware that Raizehl is alone and that you will be in a rather close and potentially tender position. I just wanted to let you know that I am perfectly fine with anything that may happen, so long as you stay by my side as my mate. She is a close friend and I am not so jealous that I would not share with her what I have if she were in need, and that includes you.\"\n\n\"I, really don't know what to say,\" Grenz felt his nares burn a bit, more so at the dumbfounded and rather blank tone to his voice than the strange revelation from his own priestess, \"I never really thought about her like that, I suppose she is still rather lovely in a mature sort of way, but I don't know. It's a weird concept to be absolutely honest. I suppose it is comforting to know if anything does come up.\"\n\nShe smiled and settled in at his right side to rest against him, \"You are so absurdly adorable when you are at a loss for words. I do caution you though, I have only one thing I am adamantly jealous on.\"\n\n\"What is this one bad thing I must not do so as not to offend my beautiful priestess,\" he smiled as Abigail settled between their forelimbs to snuggle with both the adults.\n\nJirri leaned down to give the gryphlet a light preening to her neck before she gave her reply, \"It is considered unacceptable if Raizehl finds out just what kind of lover you are before I do. Under no circumstances is she to have you before I do.\"\n\n\"I see, well it is easy enough for me to not let anything happen,\" Grenz replied with a flick of his ear, \"But what if she gets a wild hair someplace and asks Agrok about me? I can't really stop that from happening.\"\n\nShe gave a snort, \"Well, that we can't do anything about. As long as she doesn't get a wild Grenz somewhere, then you are fine.\"\n\n\"Alright, well I think I will be ready for you long before I start to think of her in any such way as that. Even if I am not, she certainly wont steal your sacred rights as my mate,\" he leaned his head against hers to nuzzle her cheek to cheek.\n\nJirri was about to say something when Raizehl herself poked her head into the family chamber, \"Grenz, you have a visitor. I believe he wants to discuss some sort of business transaction or some official decision on a kill you made. I am not certain, he was talking fast and making ti a point to twist his words together so I couldn't gather his meanings. You know the type, so I'll be taking Abigail now since you have had her to yourself for most the morning now.\"\n\n\"A swindler, perhaps it's best you take her away now, as much as I hate to let her go,\" the huge male growled with irritation and pain as he wedged himself up to a sitting position to make sure this silver tongued fiend would not forget the power and stature of the warrior he was about to address.\n\nThe eldest female gave a nod and scooped up Abigail to carry her off, \"You may come in and see him now.\"\n\n\"My my, such security here,\" the voice was male, and as irritating as Grenz could have ever imagined, \"I thought the sacred den was open and obligated to welcome anyone.\"\n\nHe wanted to throw the snooty human out right then and there, but he decided to give the man a chance. When the human did emerge into the family room, he was a bit short and kind of round in the middle, a real rolly polly fellow with pale skin stained by the elements of his craft. His belt bore the tools of his trade, but they told Grenz very little about him, certainly not as much as the stains and the scent upon him. He smelled of leather, and of fresh skins with a tell tale hint of decaying flesh that easily marked him as a leather smith and tanner. The shining bald spot on top of the man's head fascinated the gryphon as he stared closely at it with his incredibly strong eyes.\n\nJirri fluttered her wings in irritation, \"You were welcomed into the Sacred Den, but you have passed that into our private home. This place you are not free to simply enter because the Sacred Den rests before it.\"\n\nThe man looked offended that she had spoken to him and was about to say something before the snap of a rather large beak cut him off, \"You are on a bad start swindler, don't get yourself killed before you have a chance to talk. I value the word of my mate far more than I value your life, let's keep that strait before you get disrespectful.\"\n\n\"My apologies,\" the human bowed, \"I am Benjamen Greg-\"\n\nGrenz shook his head, \"I don't wish to know you, on with the business\"\n\n\"Be at ease love, it is only a polite formality,\" Jirri scolded him with a nuzzle to his neck.\n\nBenjamen pulled his lips into a tight line and nodded, \"Very well, it is regarding the dragon you killed, every one of rank is saying that it is yours since you made the kill. I was wondering if perhaps we could arrange to-\"\n\n\"Hell no,\" Grenz snapped with a sharp clack of his beak to drive the point home, \"I wont even let you say it, that dragon is to be burned with the proper respects.\"\n\nThe man looked shocked and angry, \"You pompous fool! The leather from that beast would be thick and strong, not to mention how velvety that hide is. Many could benefit from the goods I would make from it.\"\n\n\"You come to my home, insult my mate and her practice by claiming she is not treating the Sacred Den properly, you call me a fool, and demand the right to butcher the remains of a once intelligent and sentient being,\" the massive broadwing roared with his fury at the tiny human before him, \"You get the hell out of my home and don't ever come to this side of the damned village, no, this side of the plains* ever again on pain of death by my very claws. We are not the Soul Legion, we will not butcher our fallen enemies for their parts. We are better than that and we will stand tall and proud above that sort of behavior as we put an end to them.\"\n\nBenjamen glared at the gryphon as he backed away rather quickly, \"This isn't over, those resources will not be lost to some bleeding heart sentiment. The beast knew it was doing wrong to begin with, it should be treated as the animal it was acting like.\"\n\nGrenz stood quickly, suppressing the urge to keen in utter agony as he pulled several of his damaged joints back out with the quick action. Benjamen's eyes seemed to expand to the size of Grenz' own massive eyes as the presumably injured broadwing began to pursue with a rather angry expression and murderous intent in every line of his powerful form. A dark pattern spread over the human's legs as he wet himself in terror while he scrambled to escape the powerful warrior giving chase. As soon as he was only a bit of brown and white clothing and flailing limbs exiting the private portion of the dwelling, Grenz stopped his pursuit and collapsed under the intense pain he had re-ignited in himself.\n\nJirri gasped and rushed for the door with a shout, \"Raizehl, Grenz just hurt himself again, I need to fetch a healer quickly!\"\n\nThe elder gryphoness rushed out of the sleeping chambers with Abigail pouncing after her tail, \"Go, I'll tend to him. Abby go lay down, poppa Grenz needs mommy's help.\"\n\nHe felt so stupid, to let his anger get the better of him like that, but he refused to let the people on the plains act like the savage beasts they were fighting, that would have nulled every sacrifice he had witnessed up to that point. Grenz just couldn't let that happen, and he would endure the pain and indignity of having to explain to his healers just what he did to himself.\n\nRaizehl stood over him and curled a forelimb around his chest, \"I'm sorry Grenz, this is going to hurt, but we need to get you back on your bed.\"\n\n\"Consider it my idiot tax,\" he winced as the female began to drag him back to the pile of cushions and pillows.\n\nShe shook her head as she struggled to move his heavy bulk, \"I suppose I should take heart in knowing that Abigail will know what her father was like, you two share so many traits. Yes, the thick skull is on that list.\"\n\n\"I don't believe we are anything alike, I for one would never have wanted to be in charge,\" Grenz gave a bit of a snort before he hissed in pain.\n\nRaizehl was quiet for a moment as she pulled him up over the pillows and resettled him in to make sure the padding was beneath him before Abigail settled between his forelimbs, \"I suppose that is a difference, and I don't believe a life long friend would be around to manipulate you into some costly mistakes either.\"\n\n\"I wasn't going to bring that up, it would have been disrespectful,\" he looked up at the elder female.\n\nRaizehl stared back at him with watery eyes, \"It's the truth though and Abigail will need to learn from her father's mistakes. I wont let her live on lies and carefully crafted truths.\"\n\nHe had no words for that, it was the sacrifice of her own pain for the sake of Abigail. It was her right as a mother to do such a thing to herself for the sake of her daughter and it only made watching her do it even harder to do because she was right. Grenz felt his heart crack when the water in her eyes escaped to become tears.\n\n\"Hey now, if you're going to go and do that you need to lay down here with me so I can comfort you. As much as I prefer to look like a hard ass, I just can't stand to watch a lady cry,\" he reached up to her.\n\nRaizehl stared at him for a moment before she finally moved forward and turned around to settle down against his right side. He wrapped the offered forelimb around her shoulders and held her tight against his side, despite the pain it caused him. She buried her head into his neck as she shuddered with her tears. Grenz made soft soothing purrs deep in his throat to help ease her pain in the warmth of a caring soul by her side. He added a bit of a physical touch by laying his beak over hers in a comforting protective posture. Abigail made a soft churr and snuggled against her mother to try and help comfort her.\n\nThey all three just laid there like that for the longest of times until Jirri returned with Rio, \"Raizehl? We're back, is he stable?\"\n\nThe drake was the first to push through the curtain that served as the door between the family room and the Sacred Den portion of the dwelling, \"I certainly hope you didn't do more damage than you started with,\" The drake blinked as her eyes registered what she was seeing, \"As you lay here and silently snuggle your roommate. You should be in agonizing pain right now.\"\n\n\"I can address my own pain later, right now a lovely lady is being wracked by a most undeserved wound upon her heart. As my father once told me, some things are more important than our own pain,\" Grenz replied without ever moving his head away from Raizehl.\n\n\"He is about to pass out and wants to look tough as well as show that he really does care about how she is feeling,\" Jirri translated for the healer.\n\nRio nodded gently as she moved to his side to begin scanning and working on his damaged joints and tendons, \"Okay, got that down. I think I can work around you so don't you worry yourself about this big handsome softy Raizehl.\"\n\n\"Hey now, no one can ever know about this,\" He huffed, \"I spent years building my reputation as a grumpy hard ass, thank you very much!\"\n\nRaizehl lifted her head slowly and looked him strait in the eyes for a moment before she gave his beak a tender little lick, \"Do not fret, I shall not let anyone speak ill of you for any reason. Especially not to Abigail, she will know what a wonderful person her poppa is and just how tough he can still be.\"\n\nGrenz could only smile at her in reply as he felt the cold iron that remained around his heart melt away. Between Agrok, Jirri, Abigail, and now these kind words from this lovely elder female who was the mother of his heart bound child, there was just none of the old coldness left to guard against his true heart being seen. Unfortunately for him it also let all the pain he was in strike his nerves and sucker punch his consciousness, leaving him in the dark oblivion of forced sleep.\n\n\\* \\* \\\n\n\"The fates be damned right to hell,\" Reyfis spat and slapped the written orders down on his command table.\n\nTensaih did not flinch or shrink away from the frustrated male as he shook his head and tried to sort out the massive tangled mess the recent attack had made of things, \"You can see it is in the hand of your own mate. Certainly you recognize the signature of the master healer.\"\n\n\"I recognize it,\" he snapped before he shook his head and tried to fight off the stress he was feeling, \"I'm sorry Tensaih, you don't deserve that. I am definitely down one of my top fighters and now I am to pair my other two together when one is to be on psych leave until she gets herself under control. That leaves me nothing but my average troops, granted they are the elites of this army, but next to you three they offer very little to one another's morale or fighting spirit.\"\n\nAgrok placed a foreclaw on his, \"Surely there is another who is every bit as good as we are, Grenz and I really aren't that much better than the others if you check our training course times against the others.\"\n\n\"Those times were taken in your presence,\" Reyfis replied bitterly as he turned his eyes up to those beautiful blue eyes that had always brought a bit of light to his heart in even the darkest of moments, \"Every one of them performs about five to ten seconds faster when you or Grenz are present. They all fight twice as hard when you two are at the head of the battle, the soldiers at least believe in your skill and rally behind you. I just can't afford to be without the champions they put their hopes into, I can't grant this leave. I do have a bit of a compromise that might help ween the boys a bit. I'm putting you on direct orders to work on the National Shields, Tensaih. Agrok, you are to make sure any supplies she may need during her work are provided. If we have another attack, you have less than a minute to respond to the call to duty. Is this all understood?\"\n\nTensaih cocked a brow at him quizzically, \"But I am working on the shields even as we talk now, what am I to do while I work on them for my orders?\"\n\n\"Rest to help keep your strength returning more quickly, I would recommend you pretend you are on leave, but don't forget that you are really on call,\" Reyfis replied flatly, \"Asreigh, how is that shoulder holding up?\"\n\nAgrok stiffened as she stood at attention for her father, who was her commanding officer in that moment, \"It's mostly okay, just a mild sore stiffness, sir.\"\n\n\"Good, I have some errands I need run, then you are to soak that shoulder in the springs nightly. When Rio gives the okay for Tensaih to return to full active duty, I want you both ready to tear through the Legion's lines singlehandedly and get a second round with that overgrown gecko at their head. Is that understood?\"\n\nBoth females snapped to and nodded, \"Yes sir!\"\n\n\"Agrok, you will find the satchel with the orders that need distributing on the table by the door, they are all labeled,\" Reyfis started to raise a foreclaw to dismiss them before he paused, \"Oh yes, I almost forgot. Rio and Kahlah has requested your assistance at the cook fire this evening, they both wish a little bonding time with you.\"\n\nAgrok tilted her head, \"Were you talking to me or Tensaih?\"\n\n\"Yes,\" the elder gryphon smiled at his daughter and her friend, \"Now off with you, I want you all done by lunch time.\"\n\nTensaih laid her glistening ears back, \"That is a physical impossibility sir.\"\n\n\"Agrok needs to be done by lunch, you take the time you need to get your task done right,\" They both started to speak but he cut them off with a wave of a foreclaw, \"Dismissed!\"\n\nBoth females stiffened and stood a bit taller in as close to a salute as they could manage, Agrok because she was a gryphon and Tensaih because she just didn't know any salutes. They both turned and exited the command structure to carry out their orders, Agrok only pausing to take the satchel with the orders for the other commanders in the Queens Own Talons. Reyfis just sighed and stared down at his pile of reports and casualty lists. The war reminded them that they were not in for simple glorious victories, anything they had would be paid for and bought time and again with the blood of their fighting men and gryphons. He couldn't help but wonder how many families would be shattered as they tried to push back these alien invaders. There was also the question no one wanted to ask just yet; if GahlByrn was not defeated before the Legion was pushed off their world, would they join the larger effort beyond their world to end the Legion once and for all?\n\n\"Reyfis, you look frazzled and fried. Perhaps you should take an hour or two to visit with friends amongst the civilians to calm your nerves,\" General Lumere offered as he stretched at his own table that had been given the task of desk, like the others in the command structure.\n\nThe lieutenant gave a nod, \"Perhaps you are right, I've not taken a moment to speak to Raizehl or any of the Kenjaya survivors since they arrived, at least not alone.\"\n\n\"Boy you sure do look through the most abysmal events for hope,\" the general gave a shake of his head, \"How about some good news for a change hey? Those poor girls that held out so long as the last Dremdal, they seem to be very grateful for the boys from Hencaney and the word in the census department is that a good number of those ladies carry the bright future of the Dremdal blood lines in their bellies already. Hakarah and Rastak have even officially traded primaries. and announced her pregnancy.\"\n\nReyfis blinked for a moment, \"When did Tahkra organize a census department?\"\n\n\"I think you're missing the point, dreary buzzard,\" Lumere scowled at him, \"Life is fighting and clawing back from the brink. The Dremdal were about as far gone as it can get with no breeding males amongst them.\"\n\nReyfis shook his head, \"They have been absorbed by another tribe, they have not really bounced back. They only melded into their neighbors blood lines\n\n\"Isn't that the point of coming together to form the one great tribe that creates this nation and that banner you have been trying to defend,\" Lumere scoffed at him, \"So what if they simply became one with the Hencaney, they survived to add their blood to the greater pool of the greater unified people of Titania. No matter what other blood flows with it, Dremdal blood will still flow through gryphon veins and life is fighting and clawing to continue on. Are you going to do the same or are you going to sink into frustration and dispair because we had one hard fight? Every last soldier in our ranks knew they would see a fair number of their friends and even some family fall when we engaged this foe, but we had no choice. Every last one of us fighting men, women, and gryphons knew we had to do this if we ever wanted to live and know what it means to be a free and unified people. People died, wake up Reyfis, it will happen again and again simply because this is war. We have been challenged by one of the most powerful forces the realms has ever seen, we have to fight back or we will disappear\"\n\nHe shook his head fiercely, \"I haven't lost my will to fight Lumere, this is the wrong lecture.\"\n\n\"Is it,\" the general cocked a brow at his colleague, \"You have forgotten our post, you can't get frustrated and you can't afford to back down because some of the boys got hurt or killed. They did it because they had to, and we do it because we have to, never forget that Reyfis. Your people need you, just like they need every talon and sword swinger. Go, now, and take heart in those you care about, I can't make it an order. I'm pretty sure I can kick your ass if I have to though.\"\n\nReyfis gave Lumere a hard stare, \"We'll have to place a wager on that another time, I've a friend to visit.\"\n\n\"I look forward to it! I do have to inspect a new weapon one of the young smiths is raving about, shall we depart together like the old friends we are not,\" the general gave him a grin, touching back on the very first time they had met as rivals in a tribal border skirmish.\n\nReyfis grinned back, \"Oh indeed we shall, ladies first?\"\n\n\"I know, that's why I'm waiting for you,\" Lumere shot back with a chuckle.\n\nReyfis shook his head as he left his 'desk' to exit the near empty room of the command structure. Lumere was good at what he did, but if he had to work closely with him it was going to be one long war. The aging warrior could only hope that the entire Soul Legion would fall on their own swords that very evening. It was a pipe dream, but he had to hold on to some hope to be able to avoid his old rival.\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nCarly sat nervously in the saddle of the horse she was allowed to ride on the journey to Titania, right alongside her Bizshra. The huge man had been quiet for most of the trip with no orders or requests for the young servant girl. The scouts and escorts had said they were entering the Ghostlands. She wasn't sure what was supposed to be out there, but she could feel a heavy sense of wrong as though an important piece of the life of the territory was missing.\n\n\"You feel it don't you? That nagging feeling that something that should be here is missing,\" the booming voice of Necrotai almost made her start as he spoke suddenly and directly to her.\n\nCarly found it hard to find her voice, \"Yes Lord Bizshra, like something should be all over this place and it's just gone. Maybe someday my mother will tell me about these lands.\"\n\n\"She will not, but you must know and remember these lands with shame in your heart for our people's hatred,\" his voice was string and firm, yet somehow felt as though a deep sadness lay at it's root as they came over a hill to the burned remains of a village with the bones of the lost gryphons bleaching in the sun, \"These people, though many will call them blasphemous beasts, they did nothing to deserve this. Of a clan several hundred strong, a mere handful survived here. Halt! Men, volunteers to bury the dead with respect. We do not move on until these souls are given a proper resting place.\"\n\nAs the horses came to a halt and several of the dozen or so men pulled away to tend to the remains within the village, Carly felt a sadness grip her heart, \"Our people did this to them? But why, Lord Bizshra?\"\n\n\"Hate, many of our people have learned it so deep to the bone that they tell lies that they believe to be true, much like your mother has told you. The things that have been spread are mostly rooted in ignorance and twisted by those who want to hate so badly that they will believe anything that gives the smallest justification for their animosity,\" Necrotai watched the regular troops and his Blackguard work to give an appropriate grave to the slain gryphons.\n\nOne of the Blackguard who stayed behind shook his head with disgust, \"To think I would have been one of those who took twisted pleasure in doing this. Look on with pride in our people little one, such great warriors that they had to ambush females and children while their warriors were away patrolling the borders. I hate to say it, but I am thankful for the opportunity the Soul Legion's invasion has given me. To see these birds as they really are, people just like us with a different shape. Fighting along side of them has been a great honor indeed.\"\n\n\"Listen well Carly, this man speaks great words of wisdom,\" the Bizshra gave the armored man a clap on the shoulder next to the handle of the heavy war ax that replaced the traditional custom sword every other member of the Guard carried.\n\nShe remembered her place and scrambled to find the water skin, \"I'm so sorry Lord Bizshra, do you wish anything to drink?\"\n\n\"You are not my servant,\" Necrotai replied grimly as his nostrils flared with a twinge of anger when the men burying the gryphons tenderly laid the small broken bodies of slain gryphlets into their graves.\n\nEven the young girl could see the look of grief in the faces of the men as they handled the children, even those who seemed unaffected by the bodies of the adults. There was a code amongst the real fighting men of Grasolahn, even Carly knew it. Every child was sacred and innocent, even those of the most hated races. To see so many that had been cut down with no hope of escape or mercy from their assailants was something that churned the stomachs of every last one of them.\n\n\"Make no mistake , Carly, this is the current pride of the people of Grasolahn. Drink it in and taste the bile on your tongue,\" Necrotai spat on the ground, \"let this rot in your gut and ask if this is really what you want to rest in your heart. This is the greatest driving force of the nobility of our lands, and the commoners alike. You really must ask if this is the kind of Grasolahn you want, if this is what you want our legacy to be.\"\n\nIce shot through her veins at his words as she realized just how horrid her people were turning out to be, \"But, why must I decide if this is what I want our people to be? They already are like this and I'm just a servant girl, no one like me can ever change things.\"\n\n\"Don't sell any member of society so short, every person can effect those around them and even set change into motion for their people as a whole. But you, Carly, are more capable of doing so than any person in Grasolahn. You are no longer a servant, not since you started on this trip. The moment you climbed into the saddle, you were on the journey to learn how to hold the reins of your birthright,\" he didn't look at her, instead he looked int he direction of their destination and the gryphons on patrol in the skies as they came into human view.\n\nShe watched the great avians rapidly approach with a calm eye that had come from dealing with their king and learning how peaceful they truly were, \"My birthright? But I am a peasant girl born to a peasant mother in the servant class, I don't even know who my father is my lord.\"\n\n\"I know who your father is, and you hold a great responsibility in that very name and bloodline,\" he replied quickly, \"It is why you travel with me to foster with the queen and king of Titania, so you may learn to best handle these responsibilities and how it should be with a competent leader that cares for and guides their people with love and respect rather than fear and a heartless agenda.\"\n\nCarly felt her heart catch in her throat, she had a father of high position, and her days as a servant were over and a new life of study and responsibility was about to begin, \"Lord Bizshra, may I please know who my father is? Surely he is not one who could do something like this.\"\n\n\"No, he could never do something like this to anyone, I know that for certain and I hope that you will learn well of true courage and strength so you do not repeat these mistakes. I want my daughter to lead like I was only able to lay foundations for. That is why I am bringing you to learn how to be a kind yet firm leader from Tahkra, how to be strong and steadfast in honor and convictions like Agrok, and a deeper history and lore of truth about our new neighboring nation from Jirri. Hopefully you will be loved by your people so that they will listen when you speak the truths of our former enemies to them so they may lose their hatred in time. If those who want to hate too strongly try to force the rest with muscle and steel to hate our neighbors, you will hopefully have the strength, courage, and love for the whole of our people to strike them down and protect the rest of our people and the world from their short sighted fury.\"\n\nCarly did not have time to reply as the black and brown broadwing landed lightly a short distance away to trot up to them, \"Hail Bizshra Necrotai, we were informed of your journey. I'm glad we could spot your travel company and offer escort through the Ghostlands, it is an honor to meet you sir.\"\n\n\"Thank you good sir, but I must ask something of you that may decide whether or not we are venturing further into your lands,\" the Bizshra gave a nod of greeting to the gryphon pair.\n\nThe black and brown avian nodded gently as his gray partner landed a moment later to join them, \"What ever answers I, Crousel, or my partner Tilt can provide, we will be happy to share.\"\n\n\"Tilt,\" Necrotai eyed the second gryphon for a moment.\n\nThe gray gryphon sighed softly, \"I had a reaction when I was younger, to every sound I would tilt my head back and forth. My parents being rather lacking of creativity named me Tilt.\"\n\n\"To hell with the screwy name, after seeing you handle those Legion dogs, Tilt is a name of strength and pride in my book,\" the ax baring Guardsmen clapped a fist on his breastplate.\n\nTilt nodded his thanks, \"I appreciate the sentiment, as I recall you put that ax of yours to good use on a fine number of them yourself. I have heard you men of the Blackguard have no names, so I think i shall call you by your weapon, Ax\"\n\n\"Sounds like a fine replacement to me, We should have a drink sometime and trade stories of battle we are seeing on our different fronts,\" the newly dubbed Ax replied.\n\nTilt grinned, \"If you have not come for me on the next blood moon, I will seek you on the sapphire eye.\"\n\n\"Ax, report to me if you are to leave for Titania on the blood moon, if you have not I will arrange passage for your new comrade on the sapphire eye,\" Necrotai replied with a casual tone, the closest the girl had heard to a happy tone from the grim Bizshra.\n\nCarly couldn't hold back her question as she toyed with the terms in her head, \"Lord Bizshra? May I ask what the terms bloodmoon and sapphire eye mean? I would not ask, but I think it may be important if I am to be what you think I will be.\"\n\n\"Child, there is no bad question to ask, all knowledge is strength and power of the mind,\" he replied with an almost gentle tone, \"The bloodmoon is when the red moon of Askilt is in full while the blue moon of Keprah is in new phase, and the sapphire eye is the exact opposite.\"\n\nCarly felt herself blush a bit, \"Thank you, lord Bizshra.\"\n\n\"You are most welcome, now then, back to that request,\" Necrotai turned his attention back to Crousel, \"Are either of you strong enough to carry a child?\"\n\nCrousel nodded gently as he realized what the Bizshra was asking, \"I feel confident I can handle the lass, and I know Tilt could catch her if anything went wrong, is time truly of the essence to warrant such a rush?\"\n\n\"I have Legion forces moving in on Tihkmahl,\" he replied with a grim nod, \"If I leave strait away from here, I should just beat them to the place we are to try and throw them back from.\"\n\nThe gryphon gave a nod, \"Shall I alert the king and have our forces on alert in case you need assistance?\"\n\n\"Nay, what is coming is manageable, we have reserves enough to back ourselves up and my scouts are watching closely for other movements. From what I can see, they are trying to pull our alliance to my borders and hit Randulan while their troops are diverted. If we all stay put we should have them without opening up a weak point,\" the Bizshra gladly shared his intelligence with his allies who could pass on the information much more quickly, even Carly knew that.\n\nThe girl felt a nervous ball twisting and grinding in her belly as she thought about flying on the back of a gryphon warrior. It was both exciting and frightening at the same time. No one else had ever done it that she had ever heard of and she was not certain anyone else ever would. Her eyes looked over the powerful frame of the broadwing who had volunteered himself as her winged steed for the rest of the trip. He looked plenty strong to her, but his harness didn't even come close to any kind of saddle. As far as she could tell, there was nothing to hold her onto the gryphon or anything for her to really hold on to.\n\nCrousel stepped up beside her horse and held his wings up a bit, \"Climb on over little lady, just tuck your legs behind my shoulders right under my wings.\"\n\n\"But how do I stay on while you fly? I don't see any reins or anything,\" Carly asked sheepishly as she carefully removed her feet from the stirrups of her horse's saddle to transfer herself onto the gryphon's strong back.\n\nCrousel gave a moment of thought before he replied, \"That should be simple enough, just grip as tight as you can with your legs and hold tight with your hands to my neck rough. Make sure you get a hold of several feathers in each hand and don't worry about hurting me any, I'm a warrior I can handle a lot more than anything you would do by hanging on. The most important thing is to not inconvenience Tilt by making him dive after you and haul you back up to my back.\"\n\n\"Okay, I'll try to hold on as tight as I can,\" the girl gave a soft sigh as she settle herself as she was instructed with a tight grip around his ribs with her legs.\n\nNecrotai approached her on his horse to remain relatively at her height, \"Carly, I know tradition has kept me from being a real father to you, but is there anything I can do for you before we part ways once again?\"\n\n\"Um, maybe I could have,\" she swallowed hard against her nervousness as it had not escaped her mind that she was talking to the Bizshra of Grasolahn, \"Maybe a hug from my father?\"\n\nNecrotai unbuckled his gauntlets and removed them before he leaned over to wrap his arms around the girl in a tight embrace. His armor was warm with the heat of his body, but it was still hard and emotionless. Carly did find those tendrils of warmth in the two great hands that were not clad in armor as she held tight to the man who had sired her. She knew she would never get to know him as a girl should know her father, but in that moment she at least had a father and got to know who and what he was.\n\nHe pulled away slowly as he looked down at her with a bit of a softer look in his eyes, \"My daughter, I pray that your life is happier than mine was and that you can make a difference in our people to break the cycle of hate and violence. May Hynegaht and the Consorts watch over you.\"\n\nCarly fought hard to contain her tears as for that one fleeting moment, Necrotai was her father more than he was her Bizshra, \"May the gods keep our Bizshra strong for many years to come.\"\n\nHe gave a nod and reined his war horse to turn about before he spurred the beast to send his steed into a gallop toward his next battlefield with the Blackguard close behind. The girl's eyes followed them for a long while before she turned them back to the pair of gryphons she had been left with. It was strange how a month ago she would have been frightened and wetting herself to be near one gryphon, and now she was astride one great broadwing feeling safer than she had ever felt in her entire life.\n\n\"A far greater man than we would have expected before this foul Legion fell upon us. All he wants is for his people to finally be at ease with the world around them so they may know peace,\" Crousel shook his head gently, \"Well, Carly is it? Are you ready to make the first flight on gryphon back in our people's history?\"\n\nShe gave a nervous nod, \"I think so, should I lean on your neck?\"\n\n\"That would be great, it will help reduce drag by a tremendous amount. And remember to hold on as tight as you can, I'm a tough bird,\" her steed replied.\n\nCarly gave a nod of her head as she leaned onto his neck and clenched fist fulls of his neck feathers to pull herself as tight against him as she could, \"Okay, I think I'm ready.\"\n\n\"Alright then, hold on girl, the take off will be the hardest part,\" Crousel cautioned before he crouched to ready himself for the initial leap.\n\nCarly could feel the powerful muscles along his back and shoulders bunching up and quivering like powerful springs being forced down and held. She could almost feel the raw power of the great bird building beneath her before his legs gave their powerful push in an explosion of strength and upward thrust powered by raw muscle. His upward leap had raised them more than twice his full height off the ground before the huge broad feathered wings snapped open to flap in powerful strokes against the air around them as he fought for lift. He seemed rather labored in his attempt to climb with the weight of both his own body and that of the human girl astride his shoulders. Carly began to worry that she was too heavy for the powerful gryphon beneath her, but they were rising steadily until he reached a decent height to begin gliding on his massive wings. She wasn't sure what it was, but the gryphon seemed to be looking for something as they swept over the land at what felt like a lazy pace with no more than thirty times her height between themselves and the ground. All at once they started to climb with what seemed like no effort on the part of Crousel, although he had started to slowly circle one spot in the air.\n\n\"How are we going higher,\" Carly shouted her question over the rush of wind.\n\nCrousel tilted his head a bit to both hear and speak to her more clearly, \"It's a column of warm air, called a thermal, it's a whole lot lighter than the cooler air and provides lift to help us raptors climb.\"\n\n\"So how did you know it was here,\" she asked, tempting a peak over the side of his neck to see how high they had climbed.\n\nThe girl stifled a gasp as she could not longer guess how high they were by her own height. The plains of Titania rolled out beneath them as the gryphon circled, she could just barely see her father's party riding off in the distance as a black speck against the green grasses as they neared the shimmering snake that was the river between them and Grasolahn.\n\nThe gryphon nodded up at the clouds, \"See those clouds, the ones that look like a big pile? Those are called cumulus clouds by our weather sages, they are made by thermals. Once we get close beneath them, there are feathers along the fur line of my belly that are sensitive to hot and cold that let me feel when the air temperature changes. Anything else you would like to know?\"\n\n\"Um.. what's a weather sage,\" Carly started to feel as though she were getting annoying to the great bird with her questions.\n\nCrousel smiled as he leveled off to soar over the plains at such a great height that the air was beginning to grow a little cold, \"A weather sage is one with mage gift that is so very weak they can barely cast the simplest of spells. They use their arcane senses to read the changes in the arcane flows to predict weather changes and patterns. Real important stuff for those of us who.. fly..\"\n\nThe girl felt her heart run cold with the jolt of ice that struck her body when she spotted what had made the gryphon trail off. It was another of the ruined villages, but this one was larger than the others. Crousel seemed to avoid the sight as he stroked his wings slowly to pick up a little speed that made the plains roll beneath them more quickly than her horse had carried her.\n\n\"The former pride of Grasolahn,\" Tilt spat into the winds.\n\nCrousel shot his partner a hard glance, \"That's enough, our guest doesn't need to hear things like that.\"\n\n\"No, he's half right,\" Carly felt tears of shame pressing at her eyelids, \"This was the pride of the people, and it is also our shame. I have a lot to learn if I am to keep the changes that my father has worked so hard to make. That is why I am here in the first place.\"\n\nCrousel turned his head to let a single brown eye stare at her, \"How old did you say you were?\"\n\n\"No one asked until now, but I am ten years past,\" she replied.\n\nTilt moved closer above them to look down at her, \"You carry a heavy burden for one three times your age, to take this on at such an early age is almost madness.\"\n\n\"A Bizshra must be strong from cradle to grave, to know this monumental task whilst I learn is truly for the best. I can consider a plan of action in which to complete or at least continue the task of my father before me,\" Carly explained.\n\nTilt shook his head, \"It seems you have done a lot of growing up in such a short time, but you're still a little human girl and you are still doing something no other human has ever done.\"\n\n\"What do you mean,\" the girl asked with a curious glance up at the gryphon above her.\n\nHe grinned down at her, \"You are flying you silly girl, take in the freedom of the wind moving over your body and the glorious view of the world. We are leaving the ghost lands now and will soon be over Hencaney lands. You have time before your real lessons begin, enjoy being a little girl astride a gryphon! If anything should happen, I am close enough to catch you long before your fall becomes dangerous.\"\n\nCarly nodded gently before she carefully loosened her grip on Crousel's neck feathers and slowly moved her arms back like a pair of gliding wings. The rush of the wind over her body gave her the most glorious sensation of freedom and safety as she closed her eyes to relish the sensations of flying. The girl tilted her right arm down, only to feel the broadwing beneath her slip to the right. She changed to holding her left arm down and caused the gryphon to slip to the left. His movements were so smooth, she could almost believe that her arms were controlling his movements, but she could feel Crousel's muscles adjusting beneath her. Carly still felt as though she were the queen of the skies, rushing over the landscape faster than any horse, free of any obstacle or challenge the terrain could have put before her.\n\nThe clouds themselves were not far above them and they caught the eye of the young heiress, \"Crousel, have you been to the clouds, do you know what they are made of?\"\n\n\"Yes I have been as high as the clouds and even higher,\" the gryphon replied with a bit of a grin, \"We could show you what the clouds are made of, first hand.\"\n\nCarly felt her heart pounding with both fear of the unknown and the excitement of a new adventure of discovery, \"Could you please?\"\n\nThe gryphon nodded and angled his flight to point his beak at an angle toward the cloud cover above. He beat his wings to fight gravity, climbing a bit easier than they had near the ground. It was almost as if the pull of the world was slipping at that great height , but Carly was observant enough to realize what was going on. The gryphon had turned his forward momentum to climbing, so each wing beat was only striving to help maintain that momentum rather than trying to generate it in the first place. With each passing moment the clouds came closer and closer to the trio and seeming to lose their solid look until they were all surrounded in a thick fog. Carly felt the air growing rather cold as they climbed, forcing her to press to the warm insulating feathers of the gryphon beneath her for warmth.\n\nIt felt like an hour before they started to pull through the top of the cloud and once they broke through her heart stopped in her chest. The view was something that no human on her world, or in her time could have ever imagined. Great plains of the purest white rolled out in every direction with great valleys and towering crags composed of the very same vapors they had just traveled through. She could almost believe that they had invaded the plane of the gods themselves on mortal wings. Carly began to shiver as the cold was forcing the heat out of her body, even with the help of Crousel's heavy body heat beneath her. She was about to say something when a jolt lanced through her body, causing every muscle to stiffen. Tilt keened in alarm and dived below his comrade in case she slipped from his back. The girl could not move, her body was limp against the alarmed gryphon's neck and shoulders. Crousel was working hard to keep his course while keeping steady so she wouldn't fall from his back.\n\n\"A noble and valiant effort in protecting this girl my sons. Stay your course and you will reach your destination. I will not let the cold take the child in my kingdom, nor will I allow her to leave my kingdom whilst I hold her spirit in my audience,\"* the strange disembodied voice echoed in all their minds as the gryphons realized precisely who they had heard, which seemed to shake them more than the presence of the mental voice in the first place.\n\nCarly felt massive talons closing around her limp body with an incredible power that seemed so restrained and gentle as they began to lift her from Crousel's back. No, they were not lifting her from his back, she could see her own body laying limp and comatose on the gryphon. Those massive talons had lifted her very soul from the back of the gryphon. Once the separation had been made, the girl was shocked to realize that she could see the talons around her, gleaming black against the yellow scaled skin of an enormous white feathered eagle beyond her scope of comprehension. The titanic bird turned eyes on her that were not amber, nor the warm browns of any ordinary eagle, but rater a true luminescent gold. The look in those eyes held an ancient intelligence and wisdom far beyond any mortal being, but even beyond that there was a deep rooted love and compassion for every living thing that made that divine figure feel safe. It was absolutely clear, Carly had found herself in the talons of a god. She was uncertain which god this was as she had not really been allowed to learn much about religion under her mother's iron fist.\n\n\"Skardesh, lord of the skies and mate to Arsiel, the great mother of the forests,\" he spoke into her mind once again to answer the question she had not yet voiced, \"We are going home.\"\n\nShe had not had a chance to even think her next question before the kind deity answered it for her. Skardesh spread his mighty wings wide and gave one powerful thrust that drove them into the heavens at such speed that day turned to night with the heights they reached over the world and the entire space around them became something else altogether. It was as though they had suddenly flew through the floor of a great forest, though she could still see all of Eldarohnd beneath them. Tress of all kinds surrounded them, evergreens, broad leafed maple trees, and even the exotic trees of the fabled jungles of the second continent of their world. The giant leaves of the more exotic trees fascinated Carly as they flew by, rooted to a very odd bit of soil that she could see her world through and yet she could still see it like any other fertile loamy earth.\n\n\"That is so we can watch the world we were set to balance and protect, dear child,\" a new voice caressed her mind with such sweet loving tones and a decidedly female quality, \"Please do forgive Skardesh for his lack of subtlety and explanation. He is the one who answers the warriors amongst our children after all.\"\n\nCarly couldn't hold back a giggle at the small teasing jibe from the yet unseen goddess to her consort. Skardesh began to slow his flight, pulling his wings up as a most wondrous nest came into sight. The outer basket of the nest was woven of entire trees that were still rooted to the soil when they were twisted into the titanic bowl with clouds and the winking specs of stars glittering throughout the living surface. As they came over the edge, Carly could see that the trees had all grown their canopy of leaves on the inside to give it a soft interior that was further softened by a layer of large white feathers that could only have come from the Sky Lord himself and the silvery white fur of his mate. The goddess herself, or at least Carly assumed it was the goddess, lay on her right side with her hind legs casually stretched out to reveal the pads of her paws to the human girl as the great sky lord settled onto his empty foot in the nest with such grace and sturdy balance that only a deity could have matched. The great cougar goddess of the forests turned her head to bring her closed eyes to face the mortal in her consort's talons. Most of the lithe, feline form was that wondrously silvery white shade that was almost luminescent without the radiant power of the goddess, all but the markings along the sides of her muzzle, her nose, the outer rim of her ears, and those pads on her paws. All of these places were colored in the most beautiful shade of blue that Carly could never have imagined, nor had she ever seen in nature. The girl could only wonder what the eyes behind those closed lids looked like, part of her knew that Arsiel could see her even with her eyes closed with little effort.\n\n\"And your assumption would be correct, child. Skardesh, beloved, please do release our guest so she may feel more welcome than merely being allowed to view our home from afar,\" the goddess' sweet voice echoed in her mind.\n\n\"That likely means she would like a closer look at the adorable young mortal,\" Skardesh lowered the girl to the soft lining of the nest and released his talons from beneath her belly when she had her feet beneath her, \"But we are not here for pleasantries, there are matters of the greatest importance that we must speak to you about, young Carly, Daughter of Necrotai.\"\n\nThe girl lowered herself to her hands and knees to press her forehead against the floor of the nest in the deepest of bows, \"What ever you would ask of me, Great Mother, and mighty Sky Lord.\"\n\n\"First I would demand you get up, I do not allow my own daughters to grovel before either of us and I wont have a child that is not my own doing so. We let our children follow us by the love in their hearts, not the fear,\" Arsiel was quick, yet gentle in her correction of the gesture that would normally have irritated the goddess.\n\n\"I demand the same of my sons. They are strong and should have the courage to look anyone in the eye, myself included. Yes, we are aware that you have not yet been exposed to much of any of the paths we deities have placed before the mortal races,\" Skardesh added as he moved to settle next to his consort.\n\nCarly stood slowly, a jolt of ice running down her spine as she fought hard for the courage to look up and stare the two deities in the eyes, \"You likely have already read it from my mind, but it is rude for me to not say that I am sorry for my foolishness. It is little, but it is all I have to offer. I am ready to hear what you would ask of me, oh Great Consorts.\"\n\n\"We ask nothing of you, we intend to warn you of events that will unfold if the Soul Legion is beaten here on Eldarohnd,\" Arsiel replied with a gentle purr to help sooth the girl's nerves.\n\n\"There will be frightening events that may lead you to believe that you have failed your people, but it may just be the opposite of what it seems,\" Skardesh added, \"You will become the Bizshra after your father and you will spread the opening of eyes to the misplaced prejudism of man. But you will not succeed in conquering your own people with this movement. You must spread this word as far and wide across your nation as you can, if you do not have enough loyal followers willing to believe in your learned truths, or at the very least willing to fight for their Bizshra, your people that you leave behind will grow bold. Tahkra is a kind queen, but she will show no hesitation in eradicating an invading army from Grasolahn once she hears of your departure. Lacking an army, what remains of the traitorous members of your nation will be easy prey for the displaced predators of their own kind. You must gain a strong enough front to beat them down enough that they do not feel so bold as to challenge our children so foolishly.\"\n\nCarly listened to the sky lord explain the fated outcome of an inevitable civil war for her people with a heavy heart, \"But how can I do this? How do I gain the hearts of so many of my people when they are full of hate for your children? How do I show them what I know of the gryphons?\"\n\n\"You learn from our children. Jirri the priestess will teach you the history, culture, and our guiding word. Tahkra is young to her post and in years, but she is wise beyond her years, you will learn from her just what it takes to lead people in a manner that you will guide them while they love you for your care and guidance. Agrok, the warrior of heart and body, she will teach you to fight both your physical foes and your inner demons. All three of our brightest daughters will teach you one thing that will be most important above all things; how to have the strength of heart and will to do what it is you have to in order to lead and protect the faithful, the true Grasolahn,\" Arsiel replied as her eyes opened to hold the child in her gaze, revealing the stunning sky-blue orbs of the goddess.\n\nCarly felt herself starting to tremble as her eyes watered and her knees started to buckle, \"But my father couldn't do it with all his strength and courage, how am I supposed to do it? I'm just a little girl, this is just.. I'm scared.\"\n\nArsiel stood and slowly walked toward the girl, every step she took made the goddess seem smaller until she was only as tall as the child when she reached her. Carly looked the goddess in the eyes for a moment before one strong paw reached up to her back and pulled her to the silky furred chest. She could not hold back her frightened tears any longer as she buried her face in the warm furry shoulder of the Great Mother and cried. A warm loving purr battered against the tides of her own fear as the tender care of the goddess washed over her.\n\n\"Your father has made changes in the hearts of a number of your people, you are not taking a task that has not been started and you will not be the one to finish it either. This is larger than a few generations can achieve, you simply need to play your part in this young Carly. We cannot interfere more than we are now, but you will never be alone. Your father made a prayer to three of us here in the pantheon of Eldarohnd, and we will make sure that it is answered. We are uncertain of Hynegaht's cooperation, so we have stepped in to ensure the future of the Bizshra's,\" Skardesh explained with a new soothing tone to his voice.\n\nCarly lifted her tear stained eyes from the shoulder of the goddess to look up at her and her consort in turn, \"So it is certain that the three nations will beat the Legion?\"\n\n\"That outcome is beyond the hands of the fates and the gods of any realm. GahlByrn has shaken free of his destiny and turned himself into something even we should be wary of,\" Arsiel answered with a sad tone.\n\nThe girl stiffened a bit at that, \"But if the gods themselves can't stop him, how are we mortals supposed to stop them? We are not gods, we can't muster that kind of strength.\"\n\n\"You mortals are far stronger than even your dreams can imagine, it is why we normally do not even involve ourselves this much with our priestesses,\" Skardesh cut off her spiral of doubt with a stern tone, \"When left to your own devices, you show so much more power in your simple ways than even we gods can inflict upon the realms. Even the most lowly of you can instantly climb to the top of a hierarchy, just like you did. You can topple the fates to march on and shape history how you see fit, and you can stand stronger than any force we can muster, when you stand shoulder to shoulder, hand in foreclaw. What you have now is the most powerful force Eldarohnd can ever know, even if we gods were to march together against the Soul Legion.\"\n\nCarly felt a warmth in her chest she had never felt before, something that thrilled and excited her as much as it frightened her, \"You are so confident in us, how can we possibly let you down? But Great Consorts, you are doing all this for me, and yet I do not follow your paths. What price will you exact for this aide?\"\n\n\"We ask nothing,\" Arsiel purred softly and gave her cheek a tender motherly lick, \"We do everything we do out of love and honor. We help because it is right, and I have welcomed you into my nest because I wish to welcome you as my own daughter, even if it is not our path you wish to take. You have impressed me young Carly, daughter of Necrotai. I give you the gift of my love, to shelter you from the storm of your enemies rage.\"\n\nCarly couldn't place the feeling about herself, but she knew something was different. Arsiel wrapped her forelegs around her and held her tight to her soft chest as that feeling got stronger, as if she could feel the love of the Great Mother wrapping around her. She couldn't help but embrace that divine warmth with heart and arms alike.\n\nSkardesh stepped forward and wrapped both his goddess and the girl in his great white wings, \"My wings will always protect you from the fury of those who would hate you or cause you harm.\"\n\nCarly felt a weigh on her left arm, but she could not yet open her eyes that she had only just realized she had closed. Her heart pounded in her chest at the absolute divine honor she was given to be embraced by both the Great Consorts. Tears of pure joy fell from her eyes as she was overcome by their loving warmth and power. The girl felt another weight tug at her shoulder as if a pack had been slung over her back.\n\n\"We do have a small task for you, simply to deliver the third gift to our greatest daughter of beak and talon. Agrok will need an appropriate weapon to meet the challenges ahead. We will not forge it, but what we have given you to deliver in our name will aide those who will,\" Arsiel gave her one last loving lick before her head started to swim once more, \"Never forget, you are never alone. We love you, and we will always be with you.\"\n\nA blinding light filled her vision, even with her eyes closed against it, Carly could not escape the brilliance. The soft fur against her chest seemed to change in texture to feel much more like feathers and the air grew colder. The sound of wind filled her ears once more as she took one gasping breath and began to breath heavily as though she had awaken from a very intense dream. It did not take her long to realize she was astride Crousel's shoulders once more, making her question of her whole encounter with the Great Consorts had truly been a dream.\n\n\"Carly! Are you okay,\" Crousel called back to her as her stirring caught his attention.\n\nTilt must have been close, the girl could feel the turbulence of his wings as he called out his thoughts, \"She looks fine, but where did that armor and satchel come from?\"\n\n\"What are you talking about Tilt, she doesn't feel any heavier,\" Crousel countered as the girl slowly picked herself up to look at her hands.\n\nThey were indeed wrapped in a shining armor that resembled large feline paws that rested over her hands. She noticed the shield on her left arm next, a pair of great silver wings spread his together to form the triangular shape of her protective plate. The light of day was fading around the trio, which caught Carly's attention next.\n\n\"How long was I gone,\" she asked, uncertain if the gryphons had been aware of her departure from her body at the talons of their great Sky Lord.\n\nCrousel heaved a sigh of relief, \"You have been out for hours, I thought I heard a powerful voice in my head so I stayed the course. We are almost to the village of New Beginnings, if you look you can see the fires in the distance.\"\n\nCarly strained herself to see the dim glow of the central fires and nodded gently to herself, \"We must make haste Crousel, we now bare a gift from the Consorts to Agrok Asreigh.\"\n\n\"That's where that stuff came from,\" Tilt faltered in his flight with shock, bringing him into her field of vision briefly before he corrected himself, \"Beat those wings Crow, we dare not delay or risk losing a gift from the Consorts.\"\n\nCrousel shook his head, \"I wont risk my passenger, you power on ahead and let them know we are coming, I'll get Carly there before the sun sinks out of sight.\"\n\n\"Right, you two keep plodding on, I'll rouse the natives and have food and drink ready for you,\" Tilt didn't wait for a reply before he tucked his wings in a shallow dive to trade height for speed before he began to beat his wings hard and pull ahead of the pair.\n\nCarly felt her heart pounding, she was making more of a fuss than she really wanted to, but Skardesh and Arsiel had warned her that she would make so much more of a commotion in the years to come. The girl figured she had better get used to it while it wasn't dangerous, she had a long future to prepare for after all.\n\n\\* \\* \\\n\nTensaih laid herself back against Agrok's soft feathered side to rest her head on the wing of her dear friend while Reyfis Asreigh showed his newly crafted weapons to his daughters and his son in-law. The gryphoness stared at her for a moment with a feigned look of annoyance; a look that was made entirely ineffective by the soft purring she could here rumbling in the lean form beneath her head.\n\n\"So I challenged the ranks of GahlByrn, held the bastard under my own talons, and now I am destined to be a mere pillow,\" Agrok huffed playfully and gave Tensaih a light bop on her nose with the tufted tip of her tail.\n\nThe dragoness waved away the protest, \"This is penance for your bad behavior this morning. I will have to think of something else, you are enjoying this too much.\"\n\n\"Behave you two, or I wont let you have your little sleep overs anymore,\" Tahkra chided while Malehk held Reyfis' heavy bladed weapon in his foreclaw to test the balance.\n\nTensaih eyed the weapon with interest, the steel blade resembled a cross between a talon and a hand scythe with a heavy thickness that gave it some weight to each swing. Such weight would be difficult to a human to wield, but the large broadwinged gryphons that made up the Titanian fighting gryphons would have little trouble with the odd weapons. The razor sharp edge was along the inside curve of the blade, allowing the twin set to be used in a rather effective scissoring action that would likely snap a spear shaft, or even a sword with ease. The handles were hand carved to fit the owner's specific foreclaw's grip and at the very back was what caught the dragon's eye. They had a half hook that allowed them to be drawn and quickly twirled into the wielder's grip. Such an easily accessible weapon could easily be given some sort of spell breaking enchantments to solve the her own fears for Agrok's safety.\n\n\"Tahk, you are such an old maid already! Being in charge has really muddled that mind of yours in such a short time,\" Agrok tisked at her sister as she gladly seized the bait to fall into sisterly banter, \"Making Tensaih and I sound like a pair of youthful fledgelings, honestly! Have you forgotten who it was that got us both grounded for a month before we could even fly?\"\n\nTahkra huffed right back, the platinum tiara on her crest glinting in the light with happy little sparkles, \"I recall some one not listening to my plan that got us caught. Besides, if you want this job, you can have it and all the headaches that come along with it. I'll just drag Malehk off and make good use of him with my new found free time.\"\n\n\"Oh no, you leave being queen behind, the king will have to take the new one, so Malehk will be mine with the tiara,\" Agrok countered with a bit of a smug tilt of her head to bring her beak up a bit.\n\nMalehk blinked and stared at the two sisters with a blank expression that Tensaih considered the only smart one to wear, \"Um..\"\n\n\"The hell he will, you get your claws on something else,\" Tahkra shot back.\n\nThe two stared at each other with such a tense expression that Tensaih and the others in the room began to wonder of the spat was real or just sisterly games. It became crystal clear when both Agrok and Tahkra burst into laughter. The dragoness caught herself letting out a sigh of relief.\n\nAgrok smiled at her sister and queen, \"It's okay Tahk, you can keep the crown and Malehk, he wouldn't mesh up with me very well in a long term situation. I wouldn't mind borrowing him every now and then though, grrowl.\"\n\n\"I'll tell you what, you bring me something equal in trade and I'll swap with you for one night. But you will need something damned good to trade for my fine mate.\"\n\nTensaih felt sorry for Malehk as his ears were flat against his skull under the awkward conversation while Agrok gave her reply, \"Well, you said equal trade, I don't have any males but I do have this amazingly gorgeous dragoness. She might be of greater value though, even if you don't fancy a female lover. I don't want to get screwed by the deal before I get my rental to my place.\"\n\n\"She looks fine from here, but I'll be the judge on how well she stacks up to my handsome male,\" Tahkra replied as she stood and moved closer to Tensaih, who was blushing madly as she came to be inspected with eye and gentle forepaw, \"Hmm, yes I see it now, gorgeous form, soft yet well toned for a scholar type, and obviously intelligent if she knows such high magics as we have heard her describe. You would be losing out on this deal, except that I wouldn't be able to make any further use of her than what I already am.\"\n\nMalehk shook his head gently, \"You two are absolutely awful.\"\n\n\"Well, with a smart beak like that on him, I think I'll stick with Tensaih,\" Agrok gave a little bit of a playful huff, \"At least she is nice enough to be a good sport about a little silly banter.\"\n\nThe dragoness cleared her throat gently, \"Or perhaps I'm just a bit too embarrassed by your suggestions to speak up against them.\"\n\n\"I'm sorry hun, I would never trade you like that,\" the warrior curled her head back to nuzzle her scaly cheek softly.\n\nTensaih enjoyed the caress for a moment before she stood up and made her way over to stand next to gryphon king, \"Who's to say I wouldn't prefer to go with Malehk anyway? I may not be able to treat him to the feminine delights that either of you can, but I am fairly confident he can perform like a lady for me and would be quite good for a warm embrace. He seems to treat me better than a trading token as well. We'll leave the two evil sisters to each other and have a good, if a little odd, union.\"\n\n\"Yeah, who says I need sex to be happily mated,\" Malehk took on a stern tone as he reached a foreclaw up to her hip and pulled her to his side.\n\nTensaih leaned her head a bit close to his, \"Raise your foreclaw please, I'm not comfortable with it that low.\"\n\n\"Oh, sorry about that. I'm not used to holding some one with a waist,\" his nares darkened a bit as he raised his foreclaw to her ribs.\n\nThe dragoness gave a little giggle as she draped her own arm over the back of his neck, \"It's quite alright, you didn't touch anything personal.\"\n\n\"You people do realize the father of half the people in this room is still sitting right here,\" Reyfis finally spoke up with a shake of his head.\n\nTahkra was about to speak when a lovely blue-gray feathered female gryphon pushed through the door flap of the queen's dwelling, \"Queen Asreigh, courier Azreal with news of your fosterling's impending arrival. She is astride the warrior Crousel as we speak. His partner Tilt reports that they bring tidings and a physical gift from the Consorts for warrior Agrok.\"\n\n\"A gift from the Consorts,\" Tahkra's eyes went wide at that bit of news, though she recovered quickly, \"Where is Tilt now?\"\n\nAzreal looked her queen in the eyes with respect, \"He and his partner have flown long and hard, he was in need of food, rest, and drink.\"\n\n\"Thank you for that information, but that does not answer my question, courier. Where is he being given his meal and drink,\" Tahkra replied with a firm demand.\n\nThere was a flash of defiance in the other young female's eyes before Tensaih stepped forward, \"Tahkra is a kind ruler, which is why I will strip the information she wants from your mind with the most painful spells I can manage for such a task. She may not have the heart to call you to task for this affront, but I do. Now out with it, where is warrior Tilt?\"\n\n\"Tensaih,\" Tahkra snapped, \"I thank you for your assistance, but I will request your services in such matters if I need them. Understood?\"\n\nThe dragoness gave a nod, \"Yes queen Asreigh.\"\n\n\"Tilt is at my dwelling,\" Azreal finally spoke up, \"Only because I have company over, else he would have been with the healers.\"\n\nTahkra gave a nod as she reached for her basket that held a stack of paper and a writing stick to begin scrawling out a short letter, \"That is all I wished to know, Crousel can fill us in on what happened when he arrives. Take this letter to Tilt and return here for your next assignment immediately after.\"\n\n\"Yes my queen,\" Azreal took the letter and slipped it into a thin compartment on the chest of her harness that Tensaih had not noticed before.\n\nIt was a clever design, simple a second layer of leather over the base of the harness that could be pulled slightly with a talon to allow a piece of parchment to slip inside and stay safely put. That extra layer of leather was adorned the image of Titania's banner. The courier moved with no signs of being hindered by her small cargo or a bulky carrying device.\n\nTahkra gave a gentle nod of dismissal to the courier before she turned her attention back to her guests, \"I trust a bit of time assisting Tensaih with the border shields will calm her disposition a bit. Which reminds me, would you be a dear and send a message to Jirri to inform her that we shall need her services?\"\n\n\"Of course, that would be no trouble at all,\" Tensaih replied with a smile as she started sending her message.\n\nThe young queen turned her attention back to her father and his newly crafted weapons, \"These, gryphon scythes, can they be crafted and distributed with a fair bit of ease?\"\n\n\"They are still an experimental design, but once we are certain they are of sensible combat use Master Smith Albre will begin teaching his fellow smiths and apprentices how to craft them. The wood smiths have already started spreading the handle design methods, as that has more than just a single application,\" Reyfis replied with a bit of a smile.\n\nTahkra nodded as she gave the floor a thoughtful stare, \"I want you working with Saltriss to come up with an art for using them and teaching their use to others right away. If these are to be a gryphon tool, we gryphons need to know how to use them.\"\n\n\"Very well, I will speak with him tonight so we can both consider their use in the field and how to teach that,\" Tensaih watched as Tahkra's own father showed her the respect of her station.\n\nThe young queen shook her head, \"You will see if Wood smith Alexander is awake and propose my idea of wooden practice scythes for our current crop of fledgling warriors. I want this mastered as quickly as possible, and I mean as absolutely possible. This could very well spare us some casualties and I would be no kind of ruler if I didn't do all I could to reduce the loss of my people's lives.\"\n\n\"Yes my queen,\" Reyfis dipped his head in a bow before he looked up and grinned at his eldest daughter, \"But I will not depart until my girls give me a proper goodnight.\"\n\nBoth Tahkra and Agrok smiled as they moved like fleeting shadows to nuzzle the cheeks of their father who nuzzled them each in return. Tensaih was simply amazed as each member of the family shifted so seamlessly between the roles of political and family hierarchy. It was not something she had seen with her own father, he was always the clan patriarch at every moment he lived. To see Tahkra act as a daughter to Reyfis was something that just amazed the dragon. As she watched the warm exchange between father and daughters, a warm sensation spreading down her cheek caught Tensaih off guard with emotions she didn't even know she was at war with. A new thought and question crossed her sharp mind, one she needed to know the answer to. Did her father act as the patriarch, or was his sentence an attempt to protect her from others? As much as she needed to answer that question, she knew there was no way to ever get that answer.\n\nReyfis smiled and turned away from his daughters to head out on his errands when Tahkra caught Tensaih off guard, \"Tensaih, I would like for you to take a walk with me. Just you and I so we can talk, Malehk can receive our guests if they arrive before we return.\"\n\n\"Of course, I can oblige such a simple request,\" the dragoness wiped her eyes quickly, \"Where is it we are to walk to?\"\n\nTahkra smiled at her and stepped toward the door, \"Just around, this is mostly about the talk than the walk. We have some personal matters to discuss.\"\n\nTensaih gave a gentle nod and followed the young queen out into the night air. Tahkra did not speak as she lead the dragoness through the center circle of the growing village that had become far more than a mere training village. So many refugees had come to live amongst the young warriors in training that the village had become more of a small town with stone buildings beginning to pop up all around the leather dwellings. Wooden structures housed the workshops of many craftsmen of various types. All of this was not just showing up in New Beginnings, it was happening all over the plains. Tensaih wasn't sure if she felt good about the humanizing of the gryphon's villages, all she was certain about was that Tahkra was leading her to the outer edges of the village.\n\n\"Shouldn't you have a warrior or two to be on guard for you,\" she asked gently as they came within sight of the open plains beyond the village.\n\nTahkra shook her head gently, \"You are a Vyrekai, you are for more potent than an entire regiment of mundane guards. I trust I will be safe in your presence.\"\n\n\"You are correct on both counts, forgive my poor advice,\" Tensaih replied as they stepped beyond the buildings to the long grass of the plains.\n\nThe two females fell into silence again as the queen lead the mage over a few small hills to a little bit of a clearing in the grass with a nice view of the village and the plains all around them. Tahkra sat in silence for a long moment, her eyes fixed on the twin moons. Tensaih noticed an eerie similarity to the hill that she had watched the queen and Agrok sit with their new lovers on the day the Legion arrived and changed everything. She couldn't help but feel that the past was a factor in the choice of location for the impending conversation.\n\n\"I'm not comfortable with it,\" the gryphoness spoke at last with her eyes locked on the moons, \"The very idea of a same sex relationship just feels wrong to me, but that is likely because I am not likely to ever be in such a relationship. I know enough of how I feel to realize that what feels wrong is that I just wouldn't be doing it.\"\n\nTensaih let out a long sigh, \"At least you are kind in your honesty in refusing to accept me. I will say that it is very wise of you to realize where you find things to feel wrong.\"\n\n\"Don't take my words wrong, being comfortable with something and accepting it can be different things,\" Tahkra countered, \"I respect your courage and perseverance in keeping true to yourself, even in the face of such terrible consequences. I am not comfortable with your preferences, but I am very comfortable with you as a person. The one thing you do that I do not necessarily see eye to eye with you on doesn't hurt anyone. You and I could easily be the best of friends as things stand now.\"\n\nThe dragoness looked back toward the village, \"So you can't bring yourself to be comfortable with the idea, but you accept it. That is a very hard concept to understand, especially when your own beloved sister is trying to decide if she could enjoy being like myself at least somewhat. What would happen if she did decide she wanted to try things and loved it?\"\n\n\"I would throw the biggest party I could manage without wasting resources,\" Tahkra grinned and turned her eyes back to the dragon, \"I know Agrok better than anyone else ever could, and I see something that makes me like you more than anything else about you. You make Agrok happy and make her smile in a way I have only seen once before in her entire life. That smile only crossed her face when she was with Kenten and now she shows that same deep running joy when she is around you. Whether she realizes it or not, I can see it in her Tensaih. It leaves me with a request for you, on a personal level, female to female, not queen to subordinate.\"\n\nThe dragoness stared back at the sister of her friend and companion, \"What ever you may ask, I will do my best to fulfill if it is at all possible.\"\n\n\"Pursue her Tensaih. You already have her heart, now draw her in to your side,\" Tahkra grasped her arm, \"I see it in her eyes and in the way she is so relaxed around you. The happiest she will ever be is with you and I want that for her more than anything. Agrok has done so much for me and gave so much to try and do her best for our people, she deserves a happy ending.\"\n\nTensaih pulled away from her grip and stared at her with a hard gaze, \"I will not chase her. What you want for her is a huge change in the norm for her and such a thing must be felt inside on her own terms, not by being pressured into it. Believe me Tahkra, I wish she was like me, I would have done everything I could to try and be allowed at her side until the days of my life ended. If she takes me now, she must do so because she feels a need to have me in such a way.\"\n\n\"I understand your reasoning,\" Tahkra nodded softly with a sad and hopeful look in her eyes, \"I just wish there was some way to make her more at ease with the idea so she would at least try it. I know she would just click into place and never leave.\"\n\nThe dragoness gave a wry grin, \"Mmm..I hope she does just that, but why are you talking of such things with me now? Between the both of you, I'm going to have to find some sort of release eventually with all your teasing talk.\"\n\n\"Oh stop it you silly girl,\" Tahkra giggled and gave her shoulder a light push.\n\nTensaih only shifted lanes of banter at that urging, \"You two are so mean to me, maybe I will take Malehk, I have enough arcane knowledge to make him female for play time. I bet he would adore such a thing, I might even be able to bring myself to let him play as a male on rare occasions when I feel bad about him being female for me so many times.\"\n\n\"He would enjoy that far too much,\" Tahkra replied dryly, \"Why is it that everyone wants my mate all of a sudden? I could kind of understand Agrok, he is handsome and we are all close, but the lesbian dragon? Now things are just getting out of hand.\"\n\nThe dragoness grinned wickedly and gave the young queen a tender kiss on the cheek, \"Maybe you will have to spend plenty of time with him and remind him just how good he has it behind closed doors. You know, so we evil temptresses don't whisk him away to bizarre relationships and bedroom games.\"\n\n\"Okay, now I know for certain you and he are in league together on this,\" Tahkra accused the mage, \"But what could you possibly be getting out of all this?\"\n\nTensaih smiled sweetly, \"Why isn't it obvious? What male wouldn't be over joyed to have three females performing for him?\"\n\n\"That would be what he gets, that doesn't explain what you get,\" Tahkra countered.\n\nShe reached out and caressed the soft feathered cheek, \"I get both sisters, and I get to watch him in action. You see, I keep you busy trying to keep him firmly interested in your tail while I seduce Agrok and work on you and her as well to draw you both in to one another with myself. Of course you have a mate, so it just wouldn't be fair to leave him out, so he gets both sisters too and maybe a light taste of me.\"\n\n\"But you said yourself that you can't stand a male,\" the young queen narrowed her eyes suspiciously.\n\nTensaih laughed lightly, \"He wouldn't get to come in, but I can stand to perform some services for a male in the midst of such interactions as I described.\"\n\n\"I certainly hope you are joking about all of this,\" Tahkra stared at her with a flat expression, \"Although, it might be interesting. Too bad it would be too weird for Ronin to ever find out about such things, and then the political backlash against me and Malehk. Certainly not worth the odd curiosity of it all.\"\n\nThe dragoness let out a singing trill of laughter, \"Which is why I only jest about such things. I see you got curious instead of uncomfortable though, so we know your mind can change about my tastes.\"\n\n\"To be honest, I would do it in a heartbeat if I thought it would get Agrok into it for you,\" Tahkra replied, \"If Malehk were to okay such an exchange of course.\"\n\nTensaih let her smile fade into a more serious expression, \"All of this bonding banter aside, I do appreciate your approval of my interests in Agrok. It puts me more at ease with anything that might become of us to know that at least part of her family is happy with the possibilities that I desire.\"\n\n\"Well, I would rather have a new brother since I've never had one, but this isn't about what I want,\" Tahkra let her beak part in a real smile that tinted her pale amber eyes with a warmth that brought the truth of her words through, \"This is about you and Agrok, and what would make you happy. If that is what brings the most joy and completes you both, then I am happy to have a second sister.\"\n\nThe dragoness shook her head gently, \"Are you sure you would want that for her? Being like me, even partially, comes with a lot of social backlash in so very many cultures. People here are likely to be quite unpleasant towards the both of us and push for our exile or execution.\"\n\n\"I don't care what it takes, I would fight beak and talon to see my little sister that happy again,\" the young queen held her with a determined gaze, \"Even if it cost me the tiara, I would rather lose my place as queen than set a precedence of hate and intolerance for our people. Let them see that the first queen fought for the right to love who your heart desires to the very end of her reign.\"\n\nTensaih couldn't help herself, she needed to embrace the gryphoness before her, \"You have a strong and beautiful heart Tahkra, Agrok is so lucky to have a sister like you.\"\n\n\"Well I think I would be lucky to have a sister like you,\" Tahkra smiled as she returned that embrace, \"Despite our difference in tastes, you are a pleasant person to know and work with.\"\n\nThe dragoness pulled back from the warm embrace to look back at the village once more, \"Speaking of work, we should head back, Crousel is sure to have arrived by now. I'm fairly certain that you will want to greet your pupil before she retires for the evening.\"\n\n\"Yes, I would indeed prefer that, and I would like you to look over these gifts yourself,\" the gryphoness replied softly as she made her first steps toward the village that was their home, \"If they did come from the Consorts themselves, or they came from a trickster of a mage, I figure you would be able to tell far better than anyone else.\"\n\nTensaih nodded gently and followed along side the queen, \"You are correct, I can indeed detect the presence of divine or arcane energies. I may not be able to tell you exactly what properties a divine enchantment might have, the gods of Ketzial never gifted any of their people with such items.\"\n\n\"The funny thing is, neither have the Consorts,\" Tahkra replied with a flip of her wings in a sort of shrug, \"This is the first time they've spoken directly to anyone or gifted any sort of artifacts. What ever their message was, it was vastly more important than any other message they have had to give before.\"\n\nThe dragoness gave a nod as the pair came to the first small structures on the outer edge of the village, \"Yes, it is difficult to tell if this bodes well for us or if we have a dark omen on our hands. With the gods reaching out to us, things can go either way.\"\n\n\"You are quite right, which is why it is important for us to hear their message and witness their gifts,\" the queen replied with a nod of agreement.\n\nThere wasn't much else to say as they passed through the stone structures that had sprouted during the rise of the gryphon nation. They were few in number, but that count was growing every day and not just in their former training village. The masons spread through out the plains to begin building the sturdy homes for the people of Titania, both gryphon and human alike. There was another project that a decent sized team of masons and a few of the less combat oriented mages were working on in secret. They felt it was something important that the people would find strength and a real sense of nationality in rather than being left to feel like a collection of refugees hiding from the foe that had destroyed their homes. Tensaih had heard about it from Kahlah, who had distributed the mages to the cause after Tahkra reluctantly gave in to their requests. The project was handled by several of the nobles and kept expressly under the queen's radar. Tensaih had her suspicions as to where the project was being built, her scrying of the plains for the construction of her shield found a large collection of concealment spells toward the center of the plains.\n\nA white and gray gryphoness stepped out of one of the leather dwelling a bit away and waved to the pair before she hurried over to them. Tensaih's blood ran hot in her veins as anger boiled in her heart at the sight of that particular female. She knew Krintahl by reputation and description and she knew what part she played in breaking Agrok's heart. Tahkra seemed no more pleased to see her than the dragon was.\n\n\"Tahkra, Lady Tensaih, please wait,\" she called out as she cut the pair off, \"I need to talk to you about Agrok.\"\n\nA lethal glare would have cleaved the poor girl in half if the young queen had physical force to her gaze, \"I have business to conduct at home, I've not the time to waste on you.\"\n\n\"But, I've done nothing to you, why are you so angry,\" Krintahl asked with her ears back in a pathetic posture.\n\nTahkra refused to even look at her as she headed toward her dwelling, \"Harming my family is far worse than anything you would or could ever do to me. Be glad I am the queen and must adhere to protocols of respectability and professional diplomacy, else you would learn just how hot my rage burns, bitch.\"\n\nKrintahl stared after the queen in utter shock, \"What have I done to deserve such hatred? At least you are civil toward me, maybe there is some hope-\"\n\n\"Shut your beak you imbecile,\" Tensaih snapped at the gryphoness, \"I am civil because Agrok has asked it, but make no mistake that I am not your friend. I will never be your friend or your ally, I just can't stand you.\"\n\n\"What have I done to you,\" Krintahl demanded, her privileged treatment showing through in her haughty body language, \"Every one hates me and I have done nothing to any of you people to deserve this.\"\n\nA deep growl rattled in the depths of the mage's chest, \"You have hurt some one we care about quite dearly with your selfish disrespect of an existing relationship. You moved in on that fellow that Agrok was so close to and came on so strong that he was caught up in the moment, overcome by such intense interest during a short spot of shaky times.\"\n\n\"She was treating him like dirt, I showed him warmth and love when he was so very lonely with her at his side,\" Krintahl snapped right back, \"That frigged little slut drew him in then stomped on his heart for her own amusement.\"\n\nTensaih felt her energy flowing through her as all her anger centers were punched quite firmly by the female before her, \"That bastard knew she was going through some hard times and she needed space to address her own heart on her own terms. Instead of giving her that personal time as a supportive lover would have, he ran right to the first whore with a little bit of a shake to her tail. Just like every filthy male I have ever known.\"\n\nKrintahl gave bit of a cry and pounced on the dragoness, bringing her down on her back. Tensaih was quick enough to grab her wrists before the gryphoness could get a hold of her. The two females struggled against one another in a display that would have seemed rather pathetic to a real fighter, but neither one of them was any sort of physical combatant. The dragoness could have easily ended the fight in an instant with any number of nonlethal spells, but such a petty squabble was not worth bringing her arcane might to bare against her opponent. Tensaih finally managed to get her feet under the belly of her foe and gave a mighty shove to throw her off before she rolled quickly onto her hands and feet to stand on all fours. Krintahl gave a grunt as she hit the ground and sprawled on her side for a moment while the dragoness removed a specific enchantment from herself. Tensaih's body grew rapidly, expanding to her full draconic size to tower more than fifty feet above the gryphoness. Angry sapphire eyes glared down at the offending female as the dragoness pinned her to the ground with one massive silver hand.\n\nTensaih drive her huge talons into the ground around her prey, \"Do not think I am helpless without my magic, I am still a dragon of Ketzial and I am still capable of defending myself. Now you are going to listen while I tell you what I know for a fact. You never waited to see what her side of the story was, nor did you delve into his story beyond the portions you wanted to hear. You pursued him at the first sign of weakness in his relationship and his loyalty to Agrok. I know this for a fact because I watched you. Did you really think that you could have made it out of Legion territory with more than fifty civilians and not be found, even with the help of the other scouts? I trapped two patrols in a fold in this realm until you passed, then I dropped them on an uninhabitable world to die of the harsh conditions. You camped in the grove that I was using as a hiding place, where the druidic spirits were helping me to scry on the events unfolding on this planet while I was not yet a player in them. No matter how you try and justify the act, you stole Agrok's lover the night she decided to offer him a real mate-ship and you did it with no concern for anyone's feelings but your own. You are a selfish home wrecker and I want nothing to do with your kind. I may desire Agrok's heart, but I didn't want her to be available like that. I wanted her to be happy, even if it was with him.\"\n\n\"I..I..I didn't mean to hurt anyone,\" tears rolled down Krintahl's feathered cheeks as she stared up at the angry dragoness, \"He just seemed so handsome and sad, I never thought there could have been any reason to justify how she made him feel.. I never realized.. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I wish I could take it all back.\"\n\nTensaih let a heavy sigh escape her throat before she released her captive and replaced the size enchantment back on herself, \"Well, you can't and you can't repair the damage you did this evening. Agrok may want me to be civil, but you crossed the line when you attacked me. If I see you anywhere near my beloved gryphoness or our family, I will tear your heart out with my fangs while I hold your soul captive so you can enjoy every moment of your body dying. She may not return my feelings, but it does not change the fact that I love her and I will protect the ones I love to the most savage extremes. I have lost too much to let some naive brat tear their hearts apart.\"\n\nThere were no more words between the two females as Tensaih turned to walk away only to find a small group had gathered to watch the squabble, \"Go home, all of you. There's nothing to be said here, just leave this whole thing be.\"\n\nShe had hoped it would die there but her hopes were dashed against the stone shores of people and their nature as the crowd began to whisper quietly amongst themselves, \"Looks like that girl picked the wrong lady to mess with.\"\n\nIt was the only phrase she was able to pick out amongst the hushed jumble of words as human and gryphon alike began their gossip. Tensaih was thankful for her metallic scales as she felt her cheeks burning with a blush underneath them. She was not proud of how the exchange took place, but neither would she apologize for the way she had handled it. The record needed to be set strait with Krintahl and it was best that her temper flared with the dragoness who had a quick and easy way to subdue her rather than her blowing up at some warrior that was more likely to cause her real harm. Tensaih decided she would not tell Agrok and Tahkra about the incident until they were away from the child from Grasolahn. Such ugly matters were best kept away from diplomatic eyes and the eyes of children.\n\nTensaih shook the whole thing off as she neared the dwelling that Tahkra shared with Malehk, she would need a clear mind for what Tahkra would ask of her. When she pulled the door flap aside she found that general Carpenter had joined the lot as they examined a suit of armor that had been spread out over a sleeping mat. It was small enough to fit a child and the whole suit was stylized to take on the appearance of a humanoid cougar, from the paw shaped gauntlets and greaves, to the helmet that was simply a cougar's head with an over sized, open mouth in place of a visor.\n\n\"It looks more like silver than steel, but it seems to be much harder,\" Carpenter observed as he brushed a leather gloved hand over the helmet as though he were petting the large cat.\n\nWith out warning, the human drew his great sword and gave a mighty swing that brought the blade crashing down onto the chest plate to bounce off in a shower of sparks. The armor didn't even show signs of the tiniest scratch after the strike had blunted a portion of the blade against it.\n\n\"By the gods, it damaged my blade, but there's not even a scratch,\" Carpenter gasped as Malehk and moved in to examine the armor and blade as well.\n\nTensaih rolled her eyes and placed a hand on the general's wrists, \"If you boys are done playing with your toys, I could have easily told you that the armor is carrying powerful divine enchantments. The only one of which I can identify is making that armor nearly indestructible.\"\n\n\"Huh, well I wish I would have known that before you let me bash my blade against it,\" Carpenter grumbled as he examined the flat spot on his blade.\n\nAgrok shook her head at the human, \"She didn't let you do it, you took it upon yourself to test it out before anyone had a chance to ask Tensaih anything about the armor. Don't you dare try to pin blame on her for your own blunder.\"\n\n\"Agrok, enough,\" Tahkra cut her sister off with a commanding tone, \"Tensaih, what can you tell us about the armor and shield?\"\n\nThe dragoness gave a small nod of obedience to her new queen before she turned her arcane senses upon the items for a long moment, \"I can tell you they were created by two beings, the enchantments on the armor have a more feminine ring to them. They embrace and shelter the wearer of the armor like a mothers loving wings. Very subtle and gentle, while the enchantments on the shield have a more brash and masculine feel to them. Like the angry father, they radiate with a display to show they are here to destroy that which would hurt the sheltered wielder. The armor only shows that it is highly resistant to physical strikes, perhaps even magic. The shield is designed to break momentum of the attacks it blocks without transferring that force into the wielder of the shield, although it is only a small percentage of transfer. Spells blocked by the shield will shatter rather than completing their effect cycle.\"\n\n\"It seems you have a powerful gift, Carly, please show Tensaih the gift the Consorts gave to Agrok,\" Tahkra turned to the girl that Tensaih had overlooked beside the queen.\n\nThe former servant girl stepped forward and reached into a red leather satchel that stood out like a sore thumb against her gray padded shirt. The leather surface was covered in symbols of cougars and eagles that Tensaih took for holy symbols as she sensed divine energy residue on the item. Carly pulled her hand out of that satchel to reveal a large lump of metal that was very similar to the armor plates she had been wearing. Tensaih let her senses extend into the metal to feel out the weave of the heavy divine energies to try and determine what they were intended to do.\n\n\"My, the Consorts are a clever pair,\" she spoke more to herself than the others in the room, \"This metal is a blank, divine in origin and charging, but very receptive to arcane enchantments. The energies in the metal are woven in strait strands along all the points that one would lay in an enchantment, meaning that they would bend and weave with the arcane energies, making a divine copy of the same enchantments. I believe the Consorts intended you to have some sort of weapon to be enchanted with properties that some clever mage could think of.\"\n\nAgrok stepped forward to examine the metal herself, \"A weapon, or some sort of armor? These are just lumps of metal without instructions hun.\"\n\n\"There's not nearly enough metal there to create any real useful bits of armor,\" Malehk pointed out.\n\nTensaih smiled warmly at Carly, \"What did the Consorts say about this gift, sweetheart?\"\n\n\"They said that Agrok would need a weapon to meet the challenges that lay ahead because the outcome could not be seen or fated,\" the human girl spoke up with confidence in what she had to say, even if she seemed nervous around the people in the dwelling.\n\nThe dragoness gave the girl a warm smile, \"Thank you, I do believe that is all we needed to know about these lumps of metal.\"\n\nThere was a gentle tapping at one of the supports around the door flap announcing the arrival of yet another guest. Carpenter stepped over to the flap to draw it back and reveal the new arrival.\n\n\"It is an awful hour to be scampering about the village on a vague summons,\" Jirri huffed lightly as she stepped into the queen's dwelling, making things quite crowded, \"I have a convalescing mate to tend to, as well as a new child in the home that requires assistance to her mother in caring for her.\"\n\nTahkra nodded to acknowledge her complaint, but made no move to apologize, \"We need you to assess the tale of our young delegate here to determine if she was indeed brought before the Consorts, or if some other god has played a cruel trick upon her. The first evidence we have are the items they gave her.\"\n\n\"Very well, it is my duty to protect the image and sanctity of the Great Consorts,\" the priestess seemed to calm down considerably at the news of what she was summoned to do, her eyes examined the armor and shield for a moment, \"I will wrap you in my love to keep you warm and safe from the world. My wings will protect you from harm. The consorts have never made items before, but these gifts make perfect sense to their most basic promises.\"\n\nCarly seemed to harden in her stance and expression, \"I know it was the Great Consorts, I was held in the warm embrace of the Great Mother herself.\"\n\n\"What do you mean? Our greatest ancestors have never been directly seen by mortal eyes since the first gryphons left their nest,\" Jirri replied with a gentle tone, careful not to sound as though she were accusing the child of lying, \"I think you had better tell me all that had happened to I may accurately discern what this encounter means for the people of Eldarohnd.\"\n\nThe girl looked up at Tahkra who nodded gently to her with a touch of her forepaw upon her shoulder. Carly took a deep breath and gave a full recount of her encounter with the holiest of figures to the gryphons of Titania and their message to the young Bizshra in training. The tale started with her flight astride Crousel and ended with her return to his back. Tensaih found herself quite impressed with the deep loving nature of the Consorts even as they kept themselves mostly unseen and unheard. Most deities of such direct concern for their flock would have been more overbearing and aggressively strict in their guidance. The Great Consorts, on the other hand, were loving and trusting of their children to let them stand on their own four feet and face the world as it came to them.\n\nJirri nodded gently to herself as she listened to the child's tale, \"This is indeed quite accurate to the teachings of our greatest ancestors. I do believe you have been given the greatest honor any being on our world could ever have received. This news is both heartening and disturbing all the same, the fate of the Legion's final chapter is in our claws. But this will not be anything but the hardest fight this world has ever seen, and even our champions need the aide of the gods to have a fighting chance. Agrok, the burden upon your shoulders is great. The Consorts have declared you the greatest hope for this world to survive and have chosen to arm you for that which you will face. Are you ready for such a heavy burden?\"\n\nAgrok looked around at everyone for a moment with a look that seemed to falter under such pressure until Tensaih grasped her shoulder, \"She is ready, because she is never to be alone. I will stand by her, and so will Grenz. The three of us together will not fail the people of Titania.\"\n\n\"She's right, we will stand together and we will fight them until the last breath leaves our chests,\" Agrok looked her right in the eyes, something warm was alight deep in those blue pools, \"No matter what it takes, we will not rest until the Legion is beaten and GahlByrn faces judgment for his sins.\"\n\nJirri reached out a forepaw and turned Agrok's beak to face her, \"You have a double task to ensure the future of our people. This girl must be taught the ways of strength and courage of heart, as well as the strength and skill of body for her harsh future. You must make sure she is ready for what will come.\"\n\n\"Her first lesson is to never back down when she knows her cause is righteous, no matter how tough the challenge may be,\" determined blue eyes locked onto the warm brown eyes of the young heir, \"It is far less to ask one person to fight hard and sacrifice of themselves for the whole than it is to ask the whole to be sacrificed for the individual.\"\n\nCarly nodded gently at the gryphoness as she seemed to wilt a bit under the heat of Agrok's determination, \"Y-yes ma'am.\"\n\n\"Tahkra, Agrok,\" Tensaih spoke up to both the leading females, \"The hour is late for such a little one, she needs food and drink then I believe sleep is in order. We should be getting home as well to take our evening meal as I am expending quite a bit of strength on this shielding for the nation.\"\n\nTahkra gave a gentle nod, \"Agreed, Carpenter, if you would be so kind as to fetch one of those in charge of food for us and have them deliver a meal for two gryphons and a human child?\"\n\n\"Yes my queen,\" the human general gave a salute in the form of grasping his chest over his heart and bowing slightly, \"Shall I send for a sleeping mat for your young pupil?\"\n\nTahkra looked the girl over for a moment before she turned her eyes to Malehk with a twinge of pleading to them, causing the male to nod in answer to the unasked question, \"No, she will not sleep on a mere mat while she is here. This girl has lived the life of a lowly servant for years, it is time to start learning what comfort is so she may seek that for her people. Carly will share our small nest of pillows until a proper bed can be constructed for her.\"\n\n\"Yes my queen,\" Carpenter nodded before he slipped out the door into the night air.\n\nThe young queen smiled warmly at the child, who was wide eyed and confused by the decree of her hostess, \"Carly, give Agrok and Tensaih a hug so they can be on their way for the evening.\"\n\n\"W-what,\" the girl blinked at the gryphoness as though she had gone mad, \"But, isn't that something family does? I am not family, I am just a poor girl who has a big responsibility ahead of her.\"\n\nTahkra's pale amber eyes seemed to glow with amusement, \"This is one of your lessons that you will learn more of as you stay here. Love can make you stronger than anything out there, and the most basic source of love is one's own family. Since you lack your own blood-lines amongst our people, I will bring you into my own family as though you came from my own womb. I do not wish to replace your standing family by any means, I simply intend to make you feel as though you are a part of ours. As strange a family as that is.\"\n\nThe expression on the girl's face spoke entire tomes worth of her lack of experience with a closely bonded and loving family. Tensaih could not help but feel a bit sorry for the girl, even she had experience with a loving family in her childhood. The girl was still uncertain about making contact with the two non-human females. Tensaih made the first move in an attempt to calm the child's nervousness, stepping forward and kneeling to wrap her scaly arms around the girl. Carly hesitated for a moment before she wrapped her arms around the elder female's ribs.\n\n\"See? We're not so scary are we,\" Tensaih asked with a rather warm and motherly smile, \"Next is Agrok and we'll be off to our rest.\"\n\nThe girl nodded and blushed softly as she detached herself from the dragoness and stepped to the gryphoness to wrap her arms around her soft feathered body, \"Oh! You're to warm and soft!\"\n\n\"Hmm..yes, the feathers and fur do make me rather soft and warm to the touch. You are a bit soft to hug on too, I would have thought you would have been tougher with your start as a servant,\" Agrok replied as she wrapped a single forelimb around the girl in a sort of gryphon hug.\n\nCarly looked down as she backed away from the gryphoness, \"I was never allowed to play, so my work only made me dirty and tired.\"\n\n\"Well kiddo, you have much to learn, but the days of toiling away with no hope a future are over,\" Agrok smiled with a sparkle in her lovely blue eyes, \"I think you might get along real well with Ronin, my adopted daughter.\"\n\nTahkra smiled and rested a forepaw on Carly's shoulder, \"We shall look into this tomorrow, dear sister, tonight has been a big night for our guest and I do believe a good night's rest is in order before we fully change her life.\"\n\n\"Agreed, I shall see you in the morning Tahk, I want to get that material to Albre to see if he can make something more dangerous than my talons,\" Agrok replied with a nuzzle to the queen's cheek.\n\nTensaih dipped her head in a bow, \"I am nearing completion of the shielding for Titania. I think it will only be a day or two more before I am prepared to raise it.\"\n\n\"Excellent, now off to bed, both of you,\" Tahkra demanded in a playful dismissal.\n\nTensaih could not help but laugh softly to herself as Tahkra proved once again to merely be a person, living under her mantle with dignity and grace while never sacrificing the things that made her Tahkra. The dragoness fell into step along side Agrok as they left the dwelling together, walking quietly into the night air. Tensaih was pleased to see that the crowd from her tiff with Krintahl had dispersed, she really did not wish to burden Agrok with the details of that encounter. There was just too much for the both of them to worry about for that to be added to the pile. The gryphoness was oddly quiet as they walked toward the stone house they shared, with the exception of a soft purr. That purr was so soft that Tensaih was not certain she was hearing it for a moment, until they neared the wooden door of their home.\n\n\"Well, here we are again,\" Agrok smiled as her foreclaw grasped the handle to open the door.\n\nTensaih ignored the odd statement, but she did make a mental note of the out of place comment in her own mind, \"Yes, we are indeed home again. Do you think Ronin will be back soon?\"\n\n\"Hmm, maybe not,\" Agrok replied with a strange little smile as she seemed to flow to the stairs, \"Kahlah has decided to have a long day of study with her, it could very well mean a sleep over.\"\n\nThe dragoness nodded quietly to herself as she seemed compelled to follow her companion up those steps and down their hall. Their hall, it was strange that she was starting to feel a shared ownership of the dwelling in such a short time. Something about living the way she was, with the people she was around, it just felt so right to be there. Agrok ducked into the room they shared, her tail sliding around the door frame slowly, making the dragoness feel a little warm inside. Tensaih felt the pull toward the lovely gryphoness tug even harder at her like a leash or a powerful magnet forcing her toward that slim, athletic figure. This made her heart pound in her chest, she knew this feeling and it was something she wished to hold in control, to hide and fight so she did not make any unwanted advances.\n\nEven as she tried to fight the growing warmth inside, Tensaih could not fight the draw of that compulsion to follow the gryphoness into the bedroom. She was there, sitting next to the pile of pillows and cushions that was their bed. The tufted tip of her tail twitched back and forth, betraying some sort of agitation about the gryphoness. Those odd blue eyes locked onto her with a look she had never seen before, an almost hungry gaze that excited her.\n\n\"Would you do me the favor of laying on your back in our little nest,\" Agrok asked sweetly with a warm little grin.\n\nTensaih felt her heart in her throat at that request. Could this really be the moment she had longed for and dreamed about every time she closed her eyes? The dragoness nearly trembled with anticipation and no small amount of fear. She was afraid that she was reading the moment wrong and what would happen if she acted on it; but in the same vein, if this was what she assumed it to be, she could not afford to pull away and risk losing her one chance to come closer to the avenging angel she so desired. It was only a moment's pause before she decided there was no choice but to act and moved to the soft collection of cushions and pillows that was their bed and comply with Agrok's request.\n\nTensaih laid herself back and looked down her belly at the inviting smile of her closest friend, \"Is this satisfactory?\"\n\n\"Most satisfactory,\" Agrok purred as she slowly stepped over her, straddling the dragoness as she settled gently onto her.\n\nTensaih felt as though her heart were going to burst from her chest as she felt the heat of the gryphon's body against hers, \"Agrok, what are you doing? This is highly unusual and possibly inappropriate.\"\n\n\"Hun, just relax and enjoy the warmth,\" the gryphoness cooed softly as a foreclaw caressed her scaly cheek, \"You were amazing tonight, and every other moment we have been near to one another, and I just want to feel closer to you right now.\"\n\nThe dragoness felt her chest heaving with her deep breathing as she looked up into those blue eyes to meet a stare she did recognize, \"So this is it then? Your heart and mind are made up?\"\n\n\"I am still a tiny bit uncertain, but I am quite certain that I hold you strongly in my heart and I know that I find you so beautiful in form. The attraction is there hun, but I am uncertain if I can proceed to fully embrace everything it would mean and everything it involves,\" Agrok admitted, her body radiating warmth in the right places to bring undeniable truth to her words, \"I want to try to proceed, but I do not want to work you up and disappoint you.\"\n\nTensaih felt a great tension in her heart, they may have been on the edge of completing one another, or they could have been at the crossroads that would decide for certain that they were to be apart, \"I can easily survive a little sexual frustration, love, we will take this nice and slow so you may stop at the first moment of discomfort with engaging with a female,\" she hummed softly as she finally let herself enjoy the form of her closest companion, silver hands caressing along the sifting coat of the gryphoness, \"I say with a female, because I already trust your words and know that there is nothing wrong with me beyond that.\"\n\nAgrok did not reply, she didn't have to, the dragoness knew how she felt already and made the first intimate touch. Her hand glided back through feathers and fur until she found the hips of her potential lover, caressing over those strong hind legs near the gryphon's rump. The warrior responded with a tender nuzzle and very soft licks to her scaly neck, so soft were the licks that they were merely the slightest touch of her tongue. Tensaih gasped at the wonderfully warm feeling of those licks, knowing her body was also warming up to put her into her physically receptive state. A blush burned under her metallic scales when Agrok sat back, pressing their bodies together at a rather key point, revealing both their physical states to one another. The gryphoness burned dark red at her nares as she looked down into the sapphire eyes of the dragoness, her foreclaws caressing over her smooth scaled chest. Tensaih decided to make her next bold move of intimate affection, leaning her head in to the bald patch on the gryphon's shoulder. Scaly lips placed a soft kiss against the hot skin there, drawing a humming purr from her lover. The dragoness pressed the tender attack, gently rolling her hips against the body of the gryphon while she continued to kiss, gently lick, and suckle against the bald skin of the healed injury.\n\nAgrok surprised her by rocking back against her as they began to stimulate one another with those motions, drawing even greater warmth and desire from both females. Tensaih pulled her head back when she felt the gryphoness leaning her head down, reading her signals so perfectly that it felt as though they were meant to be in such an embrace. She let her mouth open slightly as they both turned their heads in counter angle to one another so that beak and maw slid over one another to form a seal that entrapped their tongues together. The kiss was joined as each caressed the others tongue, the balance of domination within their mouths shifting back and forth as they took turns surrendering to one another while their bodies writhed together. Tensaih relished the kiss and decided it was time to attempt another step toward a full intimate encounter with her lover, yes she was now her lover for this encounter at the very least. A silver hand caressed under the gryphon's chest and slowly slid down her belly, seeking that final step she knew would bring them to the point at which neither would return from.\n\nAgrok pulled back and grasped her hand gently, \"I-I can't. I want to so badly, but I just can't take this last step yet. I'm just afraid Tensaih, afraid of what will become of us if we do.\"\n\n\"You mean you are afraid to take that step and become like me, because of what others will think,\" Tensaih caressed her cheek tenderly as she posed her question with a very gentle tone.\n\nAgrok's eyes sparkled with tears as she turned her head away with shame, \"Yes, I am afraid of what everyone will do to us if I step across this line. It's ridiculous, that I can stare down and attack GahlByrn with no fear, but I wither under the thought of what others will do about me embracing the female next to my heart. I never cared what people think about anything else, I just can't figure out why I care what others would think about this.\"\n\n\"Hun, this is actually normal when you discover these kinds of attractions inside yourself. It's a very scary thought to make those steps and admit to yourself and others just what you feel,\" the dragoness pulled her lover down to her to hold her in a tight embrace, \"Don't feel guilty about stopping us, if you are not ready to make that step, it is not the time to do so. Even though I did not find release with you, I found something much better.\"\n\nAgrok pressed her cheek against Tensaih's, \"What was that?\"\n\n\"Hope, I know that you want this with me, and I know that your heart yearns for mine. To have your heart is far better than having your body,\" she folded her leathery wings around the warm feathered form of the gryphoness, \"We should just rest for the night, just like this. The morning will let us face a new day together, just like the past week.\"\n\nAgrok purred softly and snuggled into her, \"I think I would like that.\"\n\nIt had been a rather eventful day, both negative and positive, but Tensaih had to admit that it was a good day over all, with a most wonderful finish. Hopefully the perfect ending to a day was not far on the horizon.\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nThe morning sun was unusually warm as it smiled down on Tahkra from it's low set in the western sky. Grave news was never good to carry, even on such a cheerful morning as fate had seen fit to mock her with. She needed to see her finest warriors and see to it that her troops were rallied, for her scouts had discovered a grim reality tot he attacks on Randulan and Grasolahn. Carly had to jog along side her to keep pace with the queen's fast walking in her urgent focused state of mind. She had a brief moment of doubt in bringing her along, but she decided it was best for her to see a queen dealing with a crisis with the grim future the girl had to prepare for.\n\nTahkra did not even pause when she reached the door of her sister's home, she pounded quickly at the wooden surface, \"Agrok! Tensaih! Open up, it's Tahkra and I have important business!\"\n\nTensaih opened the door and motioned the queen inside, \"Come on in, Agrok isn't awake yet.\"\n\n\"Thank you, but we will need to wake her up, the scouts have discovered something quite awful and we will need our fighting forces active as soon as possible,\" Tahkra rattle on quickly before a thought struck her, \"Didn't Krinzehl send a request for your presence at that project the masons were working on?\"\n\nThe dragoness smiled warmly as she lead her up the stairs, \"I am over an hour late, but it is important that Agrok does not believe I have just run off on her. I will be on my way as soon as I hear this news and give her a proper good bye.\"\n\n\"That is not an appropriate habit,\" Tahkra pointed out with a bit of an annoyed tone to her voice.\n\nTensaih shrugged as they came to the door of the room she shared with Agrok, \"If this were a military summons, my response would have been immediate, this is merely a project by civilians that has little to no relevance to the war efforts. So they can wait while I take care of things at home.\"\n\n\"I see your point, but it is still a bit rude,\" the queen shook her head gently as she opened the door to her sister's sleeping chambers, \"You'll have to at least inform them of the delay next time. I will hear of this you know.\"\n\n\"And you will simply tell them as I will, I am working on something huge for the defense of this entire nation against the power of the other Vyrekai on the other side of this war,\" the dragon shrugged the notions off casually as they approached Agrok in her nest.\n\nTahkra noted that she had taken preference for the nest rather than the human bed since her break from Altair, she had to wonder if the two changes where related, \"Agrok, Aggy, wake up you lazy lump of feathers!\"\n\nThe queen tossed a pillow at her sleeping sister who groaned with irritation, \"You may be the queen, but you're still my sister, and I will still put your tail on your beak.\"\n\n\"Shut up and get up, this is important,\" Tahkra shot back, \"And I have Carly with me, watch your behavior.\"\n\nThe queen turned and left the room to guide the Grasolahn heir back out to the living room with a gentle wing. The human girl looked rather confused about the entire situation, on one hand the queen was acting serious about the situation, even as she engaged in mild banter with her sister. Tahkra couldn't not afford to worry about that at the moment, she had a crisis to face for her people. She could only hope the girl was tougher than she looked, this was going to be one hell of a scramble to turn some good out of the coming encounter.\n\nTensaih arrived just behind them, much to Tahkra's surprise, \"How late did you two stay up last night?\"\n\n\"Agrok was not up very late at all, I was up quite late though,\" the dragoness explained, \"Most Vyrekai are chronic insomniacs, mostly because all the energy we usually hold acts somewhat like nervous energy at times and it does help sustain us as well.\"\n\nTahkra shook her head gently, \"That is rather unfortunate for you. I know I enjoy a good night's rest more than most things.\"\n\n\"Yes, sleep is precious and quite coveted. If you do find me asleep, hell would be a preferable place to be than in the position of the one waking me,\" Tensaih flipped her wings to make them shimmer in the low light of the candle they kept in the social table.\n\nAgrok finally arrived on the stairs, her eyes quite glazed with her sleepy state of fresh consciousness, \"Some could say the same about me most of the time.\"\n\n\"This is business,\" Tahkra snapped back with a tone of command, \"The scouts have discovered that the attacks on Grasolahn and Randulan, while more than token and quite spirited, were merely a distraction. We are the real target.\"\n\nAgrok nodded gently at her sister's words, \"Then it is to arms for us. Are the generals already working on a way to counter this coming attack?\"\n\n\"Malehk is with them now, I came to rouse you and Tensaih,\" Tahkra replied with a bit of urgency, \"Grenz is down and I have to ask you to take on a new role in this particular engagement. We need you out there, but we need a field commander for his squad.\"\n\nTensaih nodded gently, \"So I will cancel this meeting of mine with the masons and accompany Agrok to assist her with the logistics of command.\"\n\n\"No, you will keep your meeting,\" the queen rejected the dragoness' notion, \"We need to keep the people calm and we need to prove to our mage corps that they can handle this without huddling behind our very own Vyrekai. They need to believe in their own talents and abilities, we can't just rely on you to win every battle.\"\n\nTensaih nodded gently, \"So I will remain on call then?\"\n\n\"Of course, be ready to drop what you are doing at a moments notice and if you can see a way a lesser mage can handle what looks to be a problem we can't figure out, point them to it and tell them how. I want you to be an inspiring figure to our mages, not the pillar they hide behind,\" Tahkra finished her commands.\n\nThe dragoness gave a gentle nod, \"Very well, I shall keep a third eye on the battle to stay informed on what is going on so I may make these decisions before I am asked. It would be best to have n instant reply when the call comes, if it comes.\"\n\n\"Tahk, she will need to be briefed on the battle plan so she knows what is a ruse and what is a true fold in our lines,\" Agrok spoke up with her rather valid point.\n\nTensaih smiled gently as she proved her prowess in the art of preparation, \"I already had that covered sweetheart. I am going to silently eavesdrop through your communicator insignia so I can hear the plans.\"\n\n\"A most splendid idea, excellent work Tensaih,\" Tahkra made it a point to praise her top mage for her clever idea, \"Now get going, you have masons to meet with and Agrok has been ordered to report directly to her lieutenant.\"\n\nTensaih had a bit of a worried look in her eyes as she embraced Agrok and kissed her cheek softly, \"You be careful out there without me. I don't want any bad news to come home to.\"\n\n\"I'll do my best, but I can't promise for certain that I wont meet my fate. This is war and all I can do is my best to come home with my troops,\" the warrior replied and shocked Tahkra with a gentle lick to her companion's cheek.\n\nThe queen let them have their moment before she spoke once more, \"Vyrekai Tensaih, how close are you to completing the national shields?\"\n\n\"I am close enough that we need to figure out where to center the hub of the spell,\" the dragoness replied.\n\nTahkra nodded gently, \"I will leave that up to you, it is your spell and you know magic's very nature far better than any being on this planet. If you find a good place to centralize the hub, you have my backing and blessing in it's placement. In the mean time, I will have Krinzehl research the land and seeking a good position for such a spell so that we may discuss it with the nobility if you do not declare a place yourself before then.\"\n\n\"Yes my queen,\" Tensaih dipped her head respectfully before she turned to make her exit.\n\nAgrok watched her leave the house before she turned her attention back to Tahkra and her fosterling, \"So what are we to do with Carly and Ronin in this time? Your activity now suggests to me that you will be taking a more active role in this situation.\"\n\n\"Grenz is not combat fit, but he, Jirri, and Raizehl are more than capable of taking in the girls while we fight for our people,\" the queen replied with a firm nod to the human child who seemed a bit jittery under the tense situation around her.\n\nThe warrior nodded gently, \"I will leave you to let Ronin know she will be staying another day and maybe night with them. I have to carry out my orders quickly, if an assault force is on their way, time is of the essence.\"\n\n\"That should be no burden on me, get going so we have a home left for you to come back to,\" Tahkra replied with a nod as both females turned as one to head for the door.\n\nCarly jumped up from the couch quickly when she realized that the queen was leaving to tag along. The girl was quiet, yet Tahkra knew she was paying close attention to everything going on around her as the gryphoness handled her business as quickly and quietly as possible. It was a bit unnerving to have such a silent shadow watching her every move and hanging on every word she spoke.\n\nThe moment Agrok was out of sight the girl finally spoke, \"Queen Asreigh? You let your sister talk to you like that and tell you what to do, but you give commands to her and she follows them too. Are you not the one in command or is she the one who commands you?\"\n\n\"You may call me Tahkra, the formalities are for underlings or formal situations,\" the young queen replied absently as she considered her next moves, \"Agrok speaks with the liberty of being my younger sister behind closed doors, in a public setting she speaks to me with the proper respect of my position. What seems like her ordering me around, is just how it looks when we work together to get things done. I trust her judgment and her ideas, and she trusts mine in return because we have been the best of friends and partners in everything since we were little fuzz balls.\"\n\nCarly drank in every word as she rushed along with her, \"So you do that even in front of other people?\"\n\n\"No, only people we know, or people who are used to seeing us working together as sisters,\" she shifted her eyes for a glance at the Grasolahn heir, \"Just because I am the queen, does not mean that I know the best possible way to do every last thing. I cannot afford to be so arrogant at the risk of others very lives or way of life. As a ruler I must maintain my place of power, yet be humble enough to listen to the word of those who may know more of a situation or subject than I.\"\n\nThe girl seemed to think that over for a moment, \"It is best to listen and think over facts than to trust your power to make you right.\"\n\n\"Yes, and it is important to let those who have brought that information to feel their proper importance to the decisions we may make as a ruling figure. It builds trust and confidence in you when the people see you are taking all the facts and not just stealing credit for everything,\" Tahkra allowed herself a gentle smile as she finished off her very first lesson, both to Carly and to herself.\n\nThe girl thought to herself for a moment before she spoke up once more, \"So the decision is ours to make and we take credit for that, but we do not let it be missed that others supplied the knowledge that was considered in reaching that decision?\"\n\n\"How old are you again,\" the queen turned a critical eye upon the girl, \"You seem far too smart for a simple servant girl.\"\n\nCarly blushed a bit, \"Bizshra Nec-.. my father, started having tutors see me when he separated from my mother. I also got to talk with Priestess Jirri when we last made a visit to your village. She is very kind and wise.\"\n\n\"Yes, a gentle caring nature is the way of the Great Mother, which is the path set for for a priestess of Arsiel. Teaching and tending to those who are most in need of such care is her task and her gifts to her blessed daughters,\" Tahkra explained as they neared the dwelling that Grenz and Jirri shared with Raizehl and her daughter.\n\nThe girl seemed to grow more curious with every bit of information as she pressed the subject, \"What about Skardesh? Are there male priests who follow his path and perform the sacred duties he puts forth for them?\"\n\n\"No, well, yes and no,\" the queen felt herself beginning to stumble in explaining the finer points of her people's faith to a girl who had met their gods, \"Males are warriors, and in being warriors they defend their homes and families. That is the path of Skardesh, and thus every warrior carries out his sacred duties.\"\n\nCarly paused as Tahkra raised a forepaw to tap gently on the support around the door. She knew she was beginning to step out of her knowledge and needed the aide of the resident priestess to help answer this new line of questions for the curious youngster. There was a long silence before the door opened to unleash a streak of downy feathers strait into the human girl's legs. Carly was quick to react however, and scooped up the gryphlet before she even knew what she had in her arms. Abigail stared at the new face for a moment before she gave a curious little 'pip'. The look on the girl's face betrayed how quickly her heart melted as she stared at the adorable little ball of fuzz and mischief.\n\n\"Oh thank goodness you were here to catch her,\" Raizehl breathed her sigh of relief as she opened the door fully for them, \"She was so calm, then she just bolted for the opening like an arrow!\"\n\nCarly smiled and hugged the squirming gryphlet tight, \"Oh she is just so cute! What's her name?\"\n\n\"Her name is Abigail and she is no small handful of trouble,\" the elder gryphoness smiled at the girl holding her daughter, \"She seems content with you, I'll let you keep a hold of her for now. What brings you to our home, Tahkra?\"\n\nThe queen nodded to her old tutor, \"The war is coming to our door once more and we need you three to keep an eye on Ronin and Carly while we deal with this latest crisis.\"\n\n\"That should not be too big a favor to ask,\" Raizehl smiled at the human girl as she cradled Abigail on her back and scratched gently at her chest and belly while the gryphlet purred her tiny head right off, \"It seems the girl will be handy with the little one, quite a blessing rather than a burden.\"\n\nTahkra gave a gentle nod, \"Thank you dear mentor, I must get back to the command structures to begin sending my couriers about and coordinating a quiet evacuation with Hakarah and Malehk.\"\n\n\"Excuse me, Queen Asreigh,\" Carly spoke up with a respectful tone, quite well practiced from her days as an underling, \"If I am supposed to be learning from you, should I not see how you handle such a situation to learn what you do and how you handle yourself?\"\n\nThe elder gryphoness turned an eye on the young queen, \"The child is quite perceptive and quite correct sweetheart. This would be a prime opportunity to learn how a real leader commands her people in the face of an imminent attack.\"\n\n\"I really do not have time to tend to a child right now, there is so very much to do and no time to do it in. The enemy is on the march and we have nothing in their way as of yet. I have not yet had a chance to break the night's fast for either of us yet and I doubt I will have time to see to lunch either,\" Tahkra protested.\n\nRaizehl looked between the two and smiled, \"I will send Ronin to collect Carly when she returns from the hot springs with Grenz and Jirri. I'll send her back with food for you after she has eaten with us and I will do the same for lunch. I am certain that this girl is bright enough to know when to stay out from under foot and when it is okay to speak and question what she sees.\"\n\n\"Very well, but I may send her off to see Agrok for a time as part of her combined tutoring,\" the queen huffed a bit at her elder, \"She will need to see a warrior prepare to head off to face her foes.\"\n\nThe elder female smiled warmly, \"But of course, how else will she learn the true strength of a warrior's heart? Now run along and get your business sorted out, Titania needs you.\"\n\n\"Right, let Abigail go and we'll get on our way,\" Tahkra nodded at her pupil and waited for her to set the gryphlet down for her mother to scoop her up, \"Thank you Raizehl, you have no idea how much this all means to us.\"\n\nThe elder female waved off her thanks, \"It is the least we can do while you protect our homes and our families. I should be thanking you.\"\n\nThey both nodded to one another before the queen turned and lead her young charge back toward the command structures of their village. The morning was quiet, which was quite ominous to her with the crisis at hand. The mood felt very much like the calm before a great storm that would cause terrible destruction. She could only hope that the coming tide could be stopped and turned back on it's self before it consumed any more of her people. Tahkra began to doubt the former chief's choice in her as the queen of Titania as she could feel her strength beginning to falter under the weight of possible casualties. She was not a warrior at heart like Agrok or Malehk, who could accept the fact that some of their comrades may never come home. Tahkra was barely even a diplomat, such a harsh reality tore at her heart like a rabid beast. She fought to endure it, for her people and her family, for she alone was placed in the seat of the queen and charged with making decisions that trade some lives to save many more.\n\nCarly was quiet as they walked, though she kept looking up at the queen of the allied nation. Something in her eyes told Tahkra that she had picked up on her distressed state despite her efforts to keep her outward appearance calm and composed. She needed Malehk at her side, for his comfort and support, but that was impossible with their split duties. He had to coordinate the defensive actions of their armies while she was left to see to the well being of the people while their warriors were off to battle. She had to find strength somehow and overcome the feelings of doubt and regret as she was about to send some of their soldiers to die at the hands of their enemies in order to save those who could not fight back.\n\nAs they neared the leather walled structure of the command building, a familiar voice called out to them from their right, \"Tahkra! Azreal came to me this morning with news of an attack, what's going on?\"\n\n\"The legion is on the march, our neighbors have only been lightly hit to draw attention, we are the real target and our scouts have confirmed a large troop movement heading strait for Tehngati,\" the queen replied quickly, \"We will need to see to an evacuation as our troops set up a defense to push back the Legion.\"\n\nHakarah ground her beak for a moment, \"We don't have any one place that can take in that many refugees, even on a temporary basis. Tehngati is one of our largest villages.\"\n\n\"We have no choice but to move them and then decide where they can go after,\" Tahkra flipped her wings and a shrug as Carly hung onto every word intently, \"Bring them directly south to Karpelta and we'll split them up from there by choice to the surrounding villages by groups of what they can take and who wants to go where. I want to have supplies brought in from the more central villages to help handle the refugees until we clear the Legion's push.\"\n\nThe elder noble female nodded her head for a moment, \"I believe Gepstun Is due to contribute something to the war efforts, they can at least offer a temporary hearth for displaced people whether they like this or not. Artrial of Shelington has requested a way to help as they had no warriors to offer, they would be glad to offer aide in this manner. I have a few others in mind of we can't fully split them up amongst those places.\"\n\n\"Very good, I will draw up an order of evacuation for Azreal to carry on to Tehngati,\" Tahkra nodded gently.\n\nHakarah tilted her head at her queen, \"Why Azreal? Certainly Danriahl would be more suitable to such an urgent mission.\"\n\n\"Azreal is far swifter than Danriahl,\" she explained, \"I want Azreal to prove her loyalty and sense of duty to me anyhow. Her defiant streak bothers me, even though she has followed orders up until now. She's damned good at this courier business and you know it as well as I, we just need to know that she can be counted on without question to perform the duties of her station. When the time comes to open the real function of my couriers, I need to know she can handle that weight of responsibility with a stern face of loyal honesty.\"\n\nThe former chief gave a nod to that, \"I see your reasoning behind that, but are you absolutely certain that you want Azreal as a royal courier and not just a standard courier? Ever since the fall of the Kenjaya, she hasn't been the most pleasant girl to work with. There's a hell of a lot of anger in her and she is just letting it burn up everyone around her, including us.\"\n\n\"Perhaps a show of power is in order to impress upon her the importance of the people giving her orders. I will brief her on the messages to be carried and where they go, but I want her and her mysterious guest brought in by my talons. I want to know who it is she feels she can hide from her queen,\" Tahkra huffed a bit as she drew back the door flap of the leather command structure to let Carly and her fellow gryphoness in before her, \"I will discuss the real functions of my couriers with her at that time.\"\n\nHakarah nodded to her young queen, \"As you wish, Tahkra, I trust your judgment, I just hope you get through instead of igniting her anger any further.\"\n\n\"I hope so too,\" Tahkra replied with a small shake of her head as she slipped into the command structure to begin the work of protecting her people.\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nAgrok surveyed her temporary troops for a moment, a mere squad of twelve talons, six gryphons and six humans. They all stared back at her with a firm disciplined silence, every last one of them trying to make an assessment of their temporary commander. This made Agrok even more nervous, for she was a doer of deeds not a leader of men and gryphons. She knew she had to say something to them, the tense silence was getting to be too much for her.\n\n\"Good morning,\" Agrok started slow with the standard pleasantry, \"As you all may know, your commander is down with injuries and I am to step in to take his place for this engagement. What you may not know is that the Legion is shoving a large force down our throats to try and make us a non-issue in this war from the word go. This is both good, and bad for us. It's good because it means they are worried about us, they see us as a real threat that needs to be taken off the board before we get to really dig in a fight. This is bad for the same reasons, for that means we will take heavy advances and always be on the defensive as they send everything they have to keep us down and bring a greater threat to our people and our families. We need to make this counter strike nice and hard to push them back with enough ferocity to take the wind from their wings.\"\n\nA rather large broadwing, not much smaller than Grenz, stepped forward and cleared his throat, \"With all do respect, ma'am, we don't need a pep talk. We know the gravity of the situation and we are eager to put their tails on their beaks. But I do believe I speak for the rest of the squad when I ask, why are we under the command of a female?\"\n\n\"Because I out rank you and Grenz is down with his injuries so they needed a stand in,\" Agrok replied in a tone that was quite firm in the facts of the matter, \"Any other questions?\"\n\nThe slate gray male held her with a hard stare, his amber eyes boring into her with a touch of anger, \"Why are we under the command of a female and not a real warrior? Combat is male's work.\"\n\n\"Because I have given my dues, I have completed my training and proven myself in the field along side Grenz. I have held GahlByrn under my talons and sent him back to spread the image of a gryphon holding the Soul Legion at her mercy. I have earned the respect of the generals, and that of our enemies turned allies. I have been decreed by the Consorts to be the greatest hope in this conflict as well,\" Agrok held the challenging male with angry blue eyes, \"What, pray tell, have you done that gives you a greater measure and position than I have to question the decision of Lieutenant Reyfis and King Malehk?\"\n\nThe big male only growled and stared back at her, his body rigid as he had no real argument while he tried to stand his ground.\n\n\"Name and rank soldier,\" she demanded as she returned his glaring stare with no sign of give in her position while the rest of the men and gryphons watched.\n\nThere was a long silence before the big male finally opened his beak to answer, \"Terek, operative of The Queens Own Talons.\"\n\n\"Well Terek, a female is in charge of your unit while your commander is down, those are the facts of life. If you don't like it, you are free to go and file an official protest with Malehk; in the mean time, that is quite enough of that smart beak of yours. We all need to work together to survive the coming trials, can we agree on that,\" Agrok knew she had him in a trap, there was no way to argue her point without resorting to some variant of 'just because'.\n\nTerek stood firm for a moment before he gave a nod, \"You are correct, ma'am. I would like to go on record to say that I feel it is unwise to put a female in charge of a combat unit, but given the changes in our society and the current situation, I have no choice but to give you a chance. I would like to respectfully request that my outburst be forgiven.\"\n\n\"Get back in line and behave in a professional manner and I'll think about it. For now, the only order I can give is to ready your gear and say your goodbyes while I find out what it is we'll be doing out there, aside from the obvious of killing Legion.,\" she replied with a flick of her ear, \"Go and remind yourselves of what you fight for and return here in one hour, I will call if I need you before then. Dismissed.\"\n\nEvery one of her borrowed unit tensed up at a tension before they turned and broke formation to head toward their homes. Agrok did not find comfort in knowing they all had some one to go see before they left to fight. It was hard enough to know that her orders may require a loss of life, it was even worse to think that there would be families to inform of the potential losses if she screwed up.\n\nA male voice cleared it's throat to interrupt her line of thought, \"Ma'am, I think I would like to accompany you to the briefing. If I go home my lady will keep me occupied for more than the allotted hour.\"\n\n\"Very well Terek, come along then,\" she felt a twinge of annoyance as he seemed to be keeping his eye on her, \"Best to make sure the new female commander isn't screwing this up.\"\n\nThe gray male fell in line next to her as she made her way toward the command structure where the generals and lieutenants were going over the possible defensive strategies, \"Quite the contrary, what I said and did wasn't right or fair and to make it worse for myself I ran my big stupid beak in front of everyone. So if I screw up my orders, it will seem as though I did it on purpose to sabotage you. I assure you that I would never do such a thing ma'am, which is why I am going to hear these orders myself to make sure I know what is going on.\"\n\n\"What's the matter? You don't trust a female to properly receive and distribute orders,\" Agrok asked with a quirk of her brow.\n\nTerek shook his head, \"No, despite my previous statements, I'm smarter than that. If I go and hear these orders myself, no one can argue if I speak up on your behalf about them.\"\n\n\"This is a rather odd turn of behavior. You have completely turned around on me,\" she observed as they neared the command structure.\n\nThe large male gave a snort, \"It's common with me, I have a bad habit of letting my father's prejudices speak through me before my own brain takes over and sets things right. It really annoys me that I fall into the habits he hammered into me, especially when I find myself in speaking to an attractive female.\"\n\n\"Lost one or two to a roving beak I take it,\" Agrok found herself feeling a little bad for the handsome fellow, she herself knew what it was like to want to be something different than habit and tradition almost forced her to be.\n\nTerek gave a bitter laugh, \"Scores, I'm fairly certain three quarters of the plains are convinced I'm a chauvinist to a questionable degree. It's a lonely existence under this irrational fear of disappointing my father.\"\n\n\"You know, I kind of like this side of you, it fits your appearance so much better than your previous behavior,\" the small female smiled at her subordinate, \"Come talk to me when I'm not in command, I'll let you have a second chance at making a first impression.\"\n\nHe blinked at her for a moment as he stopped dead in his tracks, \"Did you just ask me out?\"\n\n\"Hell no, a commanding officer who wished to keep her position in the military would never do such a thing,\" Agrok replied sternly before she shook her head to continue in a more gentle tone, \"Besides, I have something that is up in the air that I will not jeopardize with competition for my attentions. I must know if it is right before I begin looking. Not that I wouldn't have otherwise.\"\n\nShe gave the male a smile before she slipped into the command structure to press into the gathered men and gryphons and find her father. She had already decided she liked the gray feathered fellow. He wasn't bad looking and he was mortal enough to make mistakes while being smart and humble enough to admit them. Perhaps he would have great potential for some lady if he were to overcome the pull of his father's undesirable conditioning. Not that she herself was looking, but her mind could come up with a few lovely choices for Terek.\n\nLook at yourself girl, ready to try and help some one you don't even know deal with their problems so you can play match maker. There is a battle to be fought, Agrok, get your head back in the game,* she scolded herself as Terek entered the structure behind her and made it a point to stay close while they searched for her father.\n\nThey found him near the map table, nearly shoulder to shoulder with with Tarse and Fredrick as they discussed the reported movements of the Legion forces as they advanced toward the plains.\n\n\"We have to hit them before they make the plains, we need to take ground from them to strengthen the positions of our existing settlements,\" Tarse tapped the map for emphasis before Agrok could even get a look at where the enemy was coming from.\n\nFredrick shook his head, \"We can't make effective use of our gryphon troops in that brush cover, it'll only serve to hide their archers from you. We need to defend now and offend when we have the advantage, old Rexten is a cagey fellow by what our scouts report thus far. We don't even know where he is right this moment.\"\n\nTerek seemed to be listening intently as he examined the maps along side Agrok while Malehk spoke up, \"Fredrick is right, however, we cannot afford to sit back and play defender in this war. We have to start taking an offensive role against this threat or they will simply wait out our resources while they resupply and bolster their damaged numbers from off world. I have discussed this at length with Saltriss, the legion is best dealt with when they are on the defensive. They are conquerors, not defenders.\"\n\n\"They chose this road just for that,\" Terek spoke softly to himself as he examined the map and the places that they would have to engage the Legion at.\n\nLumere tilted his ear toward the faint sound of his voice and brought his eyes to follow, \"You see something lad? Out with it.\"\n\n\"Oh, I was just saying to myself that they chose this path because of the limitations to the gryphon troops,\" Terek flattened his ears as the weight of the generals and king's eyes fell upon him, \"We will either have to open ourselves up to heavy casualties and losses amongst our gryphon forces, defend with only human troops, or let them onto the plains to use our forces to best effect against them. However, if we let them onto the plains, they can easily slip small groups off in the confusion of battle and do real harm to our families while we fight the primary group.\"\n\nMalehk examined the map and shook his head, \"He's right, they are in complete control of this engagement, and all they have left us are decisions that will bring a heavy toll.\"\n\n\"Maybe not, sir,\" Terek nodded at the scene on the map, a single town that used to trade with the gryphons on the plains, set in the v of a fork in the road that lead to the plains through the forest in question, \"The general is there, I know it. Everything we know about the Legion and their commanders is that they are cowardly with the facade of real strength and courage. That town is perfect for that, he is close and yet far enough away that he can make his escape on two different paths. That would make it only a fifty fifty chance of chasing him down the right path.\"\n\nTarse slapped a foreclaw on the table, \"You can't expect us to go on a gut feeling boy, we need evidence that he is there before we can plan an assault.\"\n\n\"No, he's right, that is the perfect place to command his forces from,\" Malehk countered his general right away, \"He can send messengers in either direction from there to bring supplies or reinforcements from either of the two closest towns. It would make no sense to slow a messenger down by making them route through the town to head beyond it. I think I have an idea now.\"\n\nAgrok allowed herself a little bit of a grin as Malehk made use of Terek's observations. The gray feathered male did not seem to show any signs of being smug, he just seemed to be listening intently to what was being said. It was a good sign for a soldier like Terek to share information so freely and yet have no inflated sense of pride as his commanding officers made use of his information for a larger decision.\n\n\"Reyfis, I want three of your squads and any unattached infiltrators you have to head north of our primary forces, behind the Legion's advancing forces. They are to take that town and hold it. We will separate our forces into three parts; the standard human soldiers will hold the Legion back on the road in the forest while we split our gryphon forces in two. Half our gryphon troops will head north after the infiltration squads take the town and hold it, make sure they get a message back to the main forces that there is trouble at their command post. The other half of our gryphon forces will carry heavy caltrops and the crystalline devices that Tensaih has had our mages making over the enemy and drop them from above arrow range. I expect them to send a force back to try and defend their general, so when they send that initial message, I want to make sure they only see the infiltration force. My plan is to have a strong front ready and waiting to ambush the defense forces they split off. If they have any tactical sense, they should be expecting our advance forces to try and hit them from behind and attempt to guard their rear. That hit isn't going to come.\"\n\nAgrok and Terek both held on to every word as their king explained his plan, watching every tap on the map and every gesture he made while he spoke, \"What I intend is to let them weaken their forward defenses to devote that diverted force as a rear defense. Once those defensive units are split up we will pull back, hard, and reform while our magic resources are set against their defensive lines to smash them down. If we manage to do so, we can meet their footmen with a wall of shields and pikes that should just batter them down while our mages and gryphons dust them off. During the entire course of the battle, I want our mages working to take out any archers or opposing mages so that our gryphon units can consider closing and taking part in the ground fight directly.\"\n\nTarse stared at the map for a moment and shook his head, \"So our plan is to give them what they wanted, a split up defense force.\"\n\n\"I don't believe they will be expecting things to work like this,\" Fredrick rubbed his chin gently, \"I know I would be expecting a rear attack after seeing us use it several times to good effect. I think we can strengthen this a bit and add more plausibility to our ruse with the town. Once the secondary force splits off, our winged forces should focus their drops on them and let them think we're worried about how many are heading back. Let them think we have less back there than we really do.\"\n\nKahlah cleared her throat gently to call attention to herself, \"I believe myself and a small handful of mages can afford to give the gryphons a better chance at hitting their marks without being blasted from the skies by the mages the Legion is likely to have amongst them. We can blur our bird to their eyes and even provide blurred illusions as well to keep their aim from being too true for our liking. We cannot forget, however, that the Legion does have access to flying troops of their own; drakes, harpies, and even dragons fill their ranks.\"\n\n\"Duly noted,\" Malehk nodded gently, \"I want you keeping an eye on the skies, Kahlah, if you see something coming that is not ours; I want you to close up the battlefield with a wall of wind that is too strong to fly through. Archers and mages are to pick off what they can until our boys on the wing can shift their focus away to deal with them. Fighting in the air is something we gryphons know how to do quite well.\"\n\n\"I shall have them on the watch while we work. I am curious, what will our local Vyrekai be doing during this engagement,\" Kahlah asked respectfully.\n\nThe gryphon king cleared his throat gently, \"Her presence was requested in the central portion of our nation by the civilian branch. Queen Asreigh has made it clear that she would like to engage this one without her help so that we do not become addicted to having that power at every battle and instead learn to handle these things without her. Tensaih will be keeping a third eye on the battle to ensure that she can be present if that level of power is needed. We want to learn to do without, but we wont let ourselves be defeated by that wish.\"\n\n\"Understood, I shall keep myself in communication with her to ensure that a distress call can go out quickly if we need a Vyrekai,\" Kahlah replied with a nod, \"I will set to work on a cloaked gating device that will allow the Queens Own Talons to slip their footmen into range of their target.\"\n\nMalehk gave the drake a nod of dismissal, \"Reyfis, take your commanders and put together a plan of attack to take that town. I want that general's head separated from his shoulders early in this battle.\"\n\n\"Yes my lord,\" Agrok's father and commanding officer turned to her and Terek, \"Come along you two, we need to get this thing put together.\"\n\nAgrok and Terek both tensed and straitened their postures before they replied, \"Yes sir!\"\n\nThe elder male lead them toward the door with an unreadable expression and a beak that was silent until they had exited the command structure, \"So who is this with you?\"\n\n\"Terek Windtalon sir,\" the male replied.\n\nReyfis nodded gently as he guided the pair toward the dwelling he shared with Rio, \"Are you the one Grenz finally selected to be second in command?\"\n\n\"Not to my knowledge sir, we haven't even heard that he was measuring us up for such a position,\" Terek flattened his ears against his head.\n\nAgrok cleared her throat, \"Thank you for volunteering as such, Terek. You should do well in your new responsibilities, seeing as you have been the only one with the balls to question anything or to speak up for your unit's well being. You also have direct knowledge of the primary battle plan.\"\n\n\"Sounds like a good temp to me. With any luck, Grenz will have a good performance record to factor in to his decision. Now then, I was thinking of having Kahlah create a gating device that can get our foot troops in.\"\n\nAgrok cocked a brow at her father, \"Assuming she can make one?\"\n\n\"Um, right,\" the elder male blushed a bit, \"I keep forgetting that mages do have limitations, especially with those as powerful as Tensaih and Kahlah. If she can't make such a device, we'll need to borrow a mage capable of gating in our boys without wings. I know we need to take the town, but I have a specific assignment for your squad. That general needs to die before he sends home for reinforcements. If any message gets out, it only gets out to the troops at our gates. Is that clear?\"\n\nBoth Agrok and Terek nodded their heads in unison and replied, \"Yes sir.\"\n\n\"It wont be easy, he has likely surrounded himself with some sort of elite guard,\" Reyfis continued, \"So be on your talon's tips with this one. You wont simply smash these men down as you have the regular troops in the past.\"\n\nThe younger male gave a bit of a snort, \"Good, we need a real fight to prove the medal of our own elites and of the queen's chosen champion.\"\n\n\"Don't be so quick to send your comrades or even yourself into injury or death, son,\" the elder male countered the eager reply of the younger male.\n\nTerek shook his head, \"I want an enemy that can actually fight back, that way it's a fight. I feel like a bloody murderer when I fight some poor sap who never stood a chance.\"\n\n\"I understand the sentiment, but I would rather you come home feeling like a brute than on a cart with your comrades corpses around your own,\" Reyfis replied, \"Enough of this line of talk, we have battle plans to discuss and a town to capture.\"\n\nAgrok gave nod as they came within view of her father's dwelling, \"Right, let us see what we can do about winning this thing.\"\n\nWin the battle, fight the war, march on toward the outcome, it would be their existence for some time. She could only hope that defeat would be few and far between.\n\n\\* \\* \\\n\nTensaih stared at the results of the hidden project in awe of just what the masons and the non-combat mages had achieved in such a short time. The project was simply massive and though Tahkra would have forbidden it if she had been asked directly, this was indeed a symbol of Titania as a whole that the people would need in the coming days of war and bloodshed. The efforts of the masons and mages would bring a feeling of real solidarity and sovereignty to the people and make them feel like a real nation fighting for their homes rather than a collection of refugee camps, fighting to stay hidden. The dragoness was rather pleased to see that a fair number of stone homes and even shops had sprung up around the project as the people who were living near the site had already began to embrace the structure for what it was.\n\n\"Glorious isn't it? It makes me so proud to have played such a role in it's creation,\" a small, lean built taper wing gryphoness padded up beside her. The female's feathers were a soft gray with an attractively odd peppering of cream in her crest and neck rough that set off her light brown eyes very well.\n\nTensaih gave a gentle nod as she smiled at the gryphoness, \"Yes, this is indeed a grand undertaking to have been a part of. May I ask your name and what it is that you need my assistance with?\"\n\n\"Oh, sorry! My name is Gracie and I am the mage responsible for unearthing the materials and setting the floating island structures adrift. You see, those are what I need help with. I am very good with geomantic spells, but I am terrible at sustained enchantments. I simply have no idea how to keep the enchantments in place for those structures to stay aloft through the ages,\" her nares darkened around her falcon like beak as she admitted her short comings.\n\nThe Vyrekai thought for a long moment, \"The problem is quite simple, we could make them self sustaining, but I think I have a better solution. I am going to tie the national shield into those very enchantments and have a rather large 'pull cord' that will refresh and essentially remake all the spells when a mage 'pulls' that energy cord tight again. Even with neglect, it should hold things together for a good five hundred years or so before things actually begin to weaken on a grand enough scale to be noticed. I am curious about one thing; where on Eldarohnd did you find this much alabaster and marble to construct such a large structure without opening a single quarry?\"\n\n\"All over beneath Eldarohnd's surface,\" Gracie replied with a prideful grin that betrayed her pleasure in herself, even as she tried to flip her wings to shrug off the achievement, \"I said before that I am quite proficient in geomantic magics. I mined up all the stones needed by shifting the soils and stones around them to draw them to the surface here while rebuilding the substructure in a manner that would continue to hold the overlaying surface and any structures above as if the stones I wanted were not missing.\"\n\nTensaih was utterly amazed by the statement, \"That is absolutely astounding! Even for a Vyrekai that would have been a monumental task of balance and finesse. Please, tell me how far away did these stones come from?\"\n\n\"Well, mostly right below us, but some of them, well, we have a second continent that no one that I have ever heard of has been to or even dreamed of. Did I do something wrong,\" the gryphon seemed to be hopeful that the higher ranked mage was pleased with her work.\n\nThis behavior tugged at Tensaih's mind and made her wonder what rank the girl really held, \"You have done so very well here Gracie, but you need not seek my praise to know that you have. Who taught you how to use magic?\"\n\n\"Oh, that was my grandmother, on my father's side. She was considered a witch amongst her tribe because almost none of them ever had magic,\" her tone told the dragoness much about what kind of teacher she was.\n\nThe gryphoness spoke as if she were telling a superior what was ordered of her, but her body language and reluctant tone showed hints that she would rather not speak of her grandmother in the light of such an achievement. The subservient behavior mixed with that reluctance spoke of a tyrannical instructor who was never pleased with her lack of skill in other schools of magic while she showed near limitless skill in one of the most underrated schools of magic. The girl had the potential to be very useful to the people of Titania in ways she likely never imagined.\n\nTensaih took a risk and voiced her feelings on the previous instructor, \"You have done such amazing things, despite such poor teachings. This is an even greater triumph for you than anyone can possibly know. I think I might like to correct her mistakes and help you hone these skills of yours, properly. A geomantic caster is invaluable to a nation, especially one that is trying to build it's infrastructure from undeveloped plains, such as these. Of course, my wishes are only an offer, you are free to refuse-\"\n\n\"Oh no! I would never refuse to learn from such a great mage,\" Gracie was so quick to respond that she nearly rushed with her words, right into Tensaih, \"Oh, sorry! It's just.. you are a mage of the likes that our world has never been able to produce, in skill, power, and knowledge. If anyone can make me more than an apprentice, it's you.\"\n\nThe dragon gave a snort, \"First lesson, you are no apprentice. An apprentice could never have performed such large scale casting as all this, while also keeping the earth beneath our feet stable enough to hold it's own weight. Now then, if you would be willing to assist me, it would make this task quite a bit easier as I blend the spells and make the recharging trigger. I would also like to know where you live.\"\n\n\"Oh, you want me to work with you? I-I'm not sure I am good enough for that,\" Gracie began to fold in on herself as she took a step back from the silver female.\n\nTensaih caught her forelimb with her tail as she began her alterations to the shield spell as she prepared to put it in place, \"Nonsense, you know your own spells better than anyone else ever could. All you need to do is mesh them in the best way they can to the offered places amongst my own spells as I open them up to you. Very simple and quite a bit less stressful on myself as I perform the larger portion of this communal operation.\"\n\n\"O-okay, I think I can handle that,\" the gryphoness blushed deeply as she started to work with her own spells to mesh them with Tensaih's offerings, \"To answer your other request, I live here, for now. I will likely have to travel again to find somewhere else that I will be useful once we finish this casting. It will simply be the end of the project.\"\n\nThe dragoness smiled a bit to herself as she worked, \"This casting will take a long while to complete, but when it's done and you have finished your checks of the structure, you will come home with me and stay with us. I hope you don't mind children, Agrok has a little girl she has adopted.\"\n\n\"Oh, I m quite alright with children,\" Gracie parted her beak in a smile, \"I just don't know much about caring for them.\"\n\nTensaih felt a twinge of mischief shock through her, \"Well now, it looks like we will teach you more than just magic then. It will be good practice for when you finally accept the advances of a handsome fellow.\"\n\n\"Oh, that could simply never happen,\" the gryphoness withdrew her head back on her neck as her nares turned so red that the senior mage thought they had discovered a new shade of purple, \"Who could ever want some one with such useless skills and homely looks as I have?\"\n\nTensaih took a deep breath as they continued to mesh the many thousands of strands of energy together, \"Look, it's not widely known about me thus far, but I would want some one who looks as lovely as you. You are second to only one other gryphoness I have met. Please do not take my statement wrong, I am not trying to court you. I am simply stating that you are an attractive young lady and if I were not in the midst of something with potential, I would be interested.\"\n\n\"I-wel-thank you,\" the younger female dipped her head and nearly lost her grasp on the spell strands she was handling, \"Oh! Sorry. S-so females can like other females?\"\n\nThe dragon sighed softly, she knew she had opened this can of worms herself, \"Well, yes, but it is something that is somewhat rare amongst both our kinds. It is also something that a great many look down upon when a male or female loves one of their own sex as a mate.\"\n\n\"I see, well, I know I like males with how some of those warriors make my heart just pound in my chest..\" Gracie dipped her head and looked shyly away.\n\nTensaih suppressed a light laugh and cleared her throat instead, \"Yes well, we live in a training village. There is no shortage of strapping young male gryphons that would be thrilled to have the attentions of a lovely lady all to themselves. Be that as it may, you need to focus so we can get this done, such a task as this is quite large and will occupy the greater part of our day.\"\n\n\"Oh! Sorry, focus,\" the younger mage turned her attention to the task of twining the stray strands of their spells together with a rather pleased little grin on her beak.\n\nTensaih felt rather warm inside to work with such an adoring young mage, mostly because she just liked the girl. She could easily see her becoming like the little sister she had never had, but such things could wait until the tasks at hand were completed. There was a long lived and ever hungry enemy breathing down their necks and they needed some sort of shelter against the fiends. it was only too pleasant that she could let such a likable young aspiring mage be a part of building those defenses that would protect them all.\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nThe air surrounding the quiet little town was disturbingly quiet and still, peaceful. To watch the tranquil scene would make it so very easy to forget that the people who lived there before had died at the hands of the current occupants, along with the name of their little backwoods home. A white hot ember burned in Agrok Asreigh's heart as she thought of all the innocent lives that were wiped out, just to give the Soul Legion an outpost on a crossroad that lead to the plains. Woodsmen, women, children, none of them were spared, and it was amongst their remains that she and her nine gryphon warriors held position and waited to hear word from the primary front before she would signal her two other squads and make their move upon the command position within the town. It was a grim and rather grotesque hiding place, but they needed to strike from the least likely place. At the very least they were spared the horrid fate of the people in the village she had found with Grenz on their first mission together.\n\nShe watched the sentries patrolling with a hard determined stare, they would suffer first. After they were dead, swift and brutal justice would be brought upon the men waiting to support them, and at last to their vile commander. The gryphoness spared a look back at their borrowed mage, a male taperwing not much older than she was. The poor lad was not used to combat or the horrors that the Legion was capable of. Being surrounded by their victims left his nares so very pale. She felt bad for him and fought the urge to break position and comfort him. If he were going to fight the Legion with the rest of them, he had to learn to fight first and mourn later. They had to be the instruments of justice for the fallen people of their world and bring the Legion to it's knees.\n\nAgrok's ear twitched as she began to hear sounds of battle and orders being issued distantly before Carpenter's disembodied voice sounded in her ears, \"We've engaged the enemy, begin your assault Talons.\"\n\n\"Right, we're engaging now,\"* she replied before she traced a talon along her insignia to switch the connection of the communications to the other commanders in their small attack force, \"The battle has begun, make your strikes at the first opportunity and infiltrate. We're going to get our ground troops in while you have the Legion engaged. Road guards, no messages escape down those rear roads, only the forward, at all costs.\"\n\nThere was no reply, there wouldn't have been one as all those listening were giving silent orders and creeping into positions to make surgical strikes on the sentries to gain deeper access to the town. Sharp blue eyes kept a close count on the number of men patrolling the streets between the small wooden buildings. As the numbers began to drop, the men that were still alive began to look nervous with hands resting firmly on their weapons at all times.\n\nOne of them passed within hearing range of the gryphons hiding amongst the dead, \"Something isn't right at all, I should alert the captain.\"\n\nTime was up, they had to move right that moment, the alarm was going to be sounded, so Agrok stood up right in front of the human and said a single word, \"Terek.\"\n\nThe sentry tried to draw his broad sword, but the large male was already upon him to pin his arms to his sides with a pair of powerful foreclaws. The man had drawn a breath to scream in alarm and panic, but the gryphon slammed the smooth curve of his beak into the man's face, crushing his nose and shattering his teeth with a spray of blood. Like a spring loaded machine, Terek darted his head forward a second time, opening his beak to sink the sharp hook through the side of the human's neck and tear his throat out, preventing any further vocalization and starting the process of the man's death.\n\nAgrok looked back at the mage and nodded, \"What are you waiting for? Get our boys in here so we can take this town. Terek, get me a bird in contact with the other assault groups. Gerlen, Kisp, you two cover Herlen while he works the gating device. The rest of you come with me, we have Legion to kill.\"\n\nThe two large broadwings each gave a nod as they took defensive positions around the tan feathered mage as he began to cast the trigger and cloaking spells about the device Kahlah had made for them. Terek appointed one of the smaller and more swift warriors to make contact with the other assault groups before he fell in line with Agrok. The remaining warriors all stalked into the small roads between the structures and began to systematically burst into the houses and attack any soldiers they found within. Most of what they found were empty houses or sleeping men who were resting for night duty. They had to eliminate the threat these men posed as reinforcements to the day guard as they worked to secure the town. The work was going quickly until the alarm was finally raised, forcing the female to call her warriors into a more defensive group to make their advance.\n\nIt was a frightening sight to see so many large gryphons moving so silently through the streets as they sought the men who had conquered the town they now defended. Agrok and her warriors had the advantage over the human soldiers by the grace of their sharper senses. The earlier detection allowed them to easily outflank their opponents and turn each of their dozen or so encounters into minors distractions for the Titanian soldiers. Terek was one of the few to have already been outfitted with the new gryphon scythes that the master smith and master carpenter had developed. Agrok was quite impressed with the performance of the weapons against the swords and spears of the Legion troops as the heavy blades made short work of the wood and even steel when they struck from either side simultaneously. What weapons he didn't break were struck with such force by the massive strength of the broadwing that the owners rarely maintained a grip on their own weapons or kept their footing. The more Agrok seen the weapons at work, the more she liked their design and functionality. Terek dispelled her only concerns with them by sheathing and drawing them with such speed and ease that he never really slowed down in his movements. They were there the instant they reached a fight, and they returned to his sides the moment the engagement was over.\n\n\"You're going to have to teach me how to use those things, I do believe I am going to have to have a pair made for myself,\" she suggested as she wiped her talons on the shirt of her latest victim.\n\nTerek gave a bit of a snort, \"I would be happy to, but I wouldn't want to make anyone jealous now.\"\n\n\"My prospect is very secure in their position, thank you. I am serious about learning those weapons though, I have some material that the smiths will be working with when this is all done, we'll have to discuss some training sessions,\" Agrok shrugged off his teasing protest.\n\nHer second started to grin before he lurched suddenly to his left to avoid the swing of an ax, \"We have to survive first!\"\n\nAgrok was quick to react and pinned the weapon under a foreclaw while she swiped at the neck of the offending opponent. His throat tore from his neck with a crimson shower of blood and flesh while the man gurgled a cry of pain and fear. She let the dying body drop where it stood and faced the rest of his comrades as Terek engaged another who was wielding twin maces. The gryphoness found herself tangled with a spear wielding human who kept her well at bay with quick jabs and thrusts, forcing her to dodge his long weapon at a distance. The heavy weapons clashed near by as the heavy maces gave Terek's opponent an edge in facing the gryphon and forcing him to give a real weapons battle. She knew she had to break free and help him, his weapons were simply too new for him to have the experience needed to win such a fight. Agrok pressed toward her opponent, even as he thrust his spear madly at her, ducking an attack and finding an opening to parry and grasp the shaft of his weapon to finally use her body's size and strength against the lighter human. One strong tug jerked the man into her forelimbs, allowing her to wrap one around his head to twist his neck until it broke with a wet snap. She did not check her kill, dead or paralyzed he was out of the fight for good and that was all that mattered.\n\nJust before Agrok could make a move on the mace wielding human, Terek fell for a feigned swing with the human's left. The more experienced mace wielder used the force of the gryphon's block to spin to his right and bring the right mace hard into his side. Terek's quick reactions were all that spared his life as he managed to turn his body so the heavy blow struck his battle harness. The strike shook the large male's frame to his very core, even with the heavy leather absorbing most of the impact. Agrok could not tell if anything had been broken, but she was certain that he was definitely hurt enough to tip the scales too far in his opponent's favor. The others around them were too engaged in their own battles to assist in dealing with the situation, which left her no other option. Agrok exploded in a full reckless pounce with her foreclaws outstretched at the man's neck. There was a rather large chance she could find herself under a lethal blow from those wicked maces, but if she had not acted she was for sure to watch another die. She could not live with that sacrifice and fate seemed fit to reward her for her selfless assault. The mace wielding Legion soldier was too focused on his victory on the armed gryphon that had been so devastating before that he did not see the commanding gryphoness charge at him. His eyes snapped up just in time to give her the perfect angle for wrapping her talons around the back of his neck to tear into his flesh only half a second before her hind paws struck his chest and gave a mighty kick. The shredding of flesh and cartilage in his neck and the force of the kick mingled together for the gruesome result of completely tearing his head from his shoulders to hang from a strand of his own flesh that pealed to a point beneath his chain mail.\n\nTerek coughed as he regained his breath, still reeling from the massive impact, \"Damn, I guess hell really hath no fury next to that of an angry female.\"\n\nAgrok was about to say something when she heard three distinct 'thwangs' toward the center of the town. Archers, and they had sent arrows at the pair while Terek was still unable to dodge or cover. For the second time that day she risked her own body to protect one of her comrades, covering him with her spread wings and waiting for the painful impacts to come. All she could do was pray they did not strike anything vital when they struck, but that stinging impact never came. A new sound filled her ears before she opened her eyes to see the three 'thunks' had been the arrows striking a shield. When her eyes focused on the human carrying it, she realized he was in polished steel plate with a violet tabard that proudly displayed the banner of Titania. Her foot troops had arrived just in time as she had realized they were right at the edge of the general's secured command post.\n\n\"Ma'am, you can quit lovin' on that baggy bunch of feathers, I got your tails covered against the pin shooters,\" the shield-man spared them a glance from behind his helmet, \"The sot might start to think he's good enough to attract a girl if you keep it up.\"\n\nAgrok blushed and quickly extracted herself from her protective embrace on Terek as he chuckled, \"Well, if I had known that getting beat up would make a pretty girl throw herself at me, I'd have thrown quite a few fights.\"\n\n\"Tcha, it would be the only way you could get some attention, quit bothering the lady with your failure and let her lead this thing. She could do much better than you, flea bag,\" the human scolded.\n\nAgrok cleared her throat, fighting hard to soften her blush at the compliments mixed into their banter, \"Enough, we have a job to do. Terek, that was a harsh blow, are you well enough to fight on or are you weakened by it?\"\n\n\"I'm certainly sore, a little stiff, but otherwise okay,\" he replied as he rolled his shoulder to test the muscles in his side, \"I feel up to killing more of these Legion scum.\"\n\nShe nodded gently as she scanned the square ahead for any signs of where the general himself might be, \"Good, I need every able body I have at hand for this. We've reached the heart of the town, now we've got the tougher fighters on hand. Where is my messenger?\"\n\n\"Here ma'am,\" the male that answered was a rare sight indeed, a hawk based broadwing of gray and burgundy markings on his wings, \"Commander Telmar has two wounded and one dead, while commander Jahkra has two wounded, including himself.\"\n\nAgrok shook her head at the report before she touched her insignia to issue her orders, \"Alright birds and men alike, listen up. Telmar, you and your squad are going to come in on that north road and begin sweeping the streets. Jahkra, your recklessness has been noted and you are done for now, your second is to lead your squad down the south road and eliminate any Legion you find. Both of you, we have no room for prisoners in this little counter strike, so surrenders are to be treated as an attack, as much as it makes me sick to have to say that. Has anyone seen a messenger leaving for the forward forces yet?\"\n\n\"Yes ma'am, one left not five minutes ago,\" an unfamiliar voice spoke over the arcane communicator line.\n\nA brow slid up over a rather blue eye, \"Who is this now?\"\n\n\"Veleran, Jahkra's second,\" the unseen male replied quickly.\n\nAgrok brushed aside the fact that he forgot to address her properly, \"Excellent news, Aeyaron, beat wings over to Lieutenant Asreigh and inform him that we are working on the town square and that their runner is already out to summon help from the front, so we will need to close in and assemble asap.\"\n\n\"Yes ma'am, right away,\" the hawk based male hurled himself into the air and began to wing his way toward the forest where Agrok's father was waiting with nearly an entire wing of gryphons that were not deployed in the fight on the front.\n\nThe gryphoness turned her eyes back on the men that now joined her gryphons, \"Where's Herlen? I need my mage here and now.\"\n\n\"Here ma'am,\" the taperwinged gryphon bobbed his head nervously as he looked ahead at the Legion's gathered forces.\n\nAgrok gave him a nod, \"Right then, you will be my archer since we lack any at all. Anything that looks like a bow in the hands of the enemy should draw a lethal spell from you like a magnet draws metal.\"\n\n\"B-but I'm no combat mage! I'm just good enough to use the device Kahlah sent for you,\" Herlen stared at her with wide eyes as he started to shuffle backwards and give the strong impression that he was only moments away from wetting himself.\n\nShe had no time for such a major tactical disaster and reacted by grasping the panicking male by the back of his neck and pressing the curve of her beak to his, \"Listen well boy, piss yourself already and get the fledgling crap out of your system. Today you become a man and fight for your nation, and don't give me that crock of shit that you aren't a combat mage. If you made it far enough to use such a device as Kahlah supplied, then you know at least some spell that can turn a mundane archer into a pile of deadafied flesh. Now find your balls or I will bite them off myself and put them in your carry sack so you will always know where they are. Am I clear?\"\n\n\"C-crystal, ma'am,\" the small male swallowed hard as his hind paws shuffled and his tail tip twitched with distress.\n\nTerek blinked at her as she let go of the mage and turned her back on him to return to the front of the squad with an irritated flick of both tail and wings, \"Deadafied?\"\n\n\"Yes, deadafied, made into a dead thing, no longer living, dead,\" Agrok huffed a little, her mood quite a bit foul, \"Is there a problem with my terminology?\"\n\nThe big male shook his head, \"No ma'am, just never heard that one before. I may have to borrow that if we make it home today. So what's our plan?\"\n\n\"The others are likely waiting for their humans to reach them, so we'll spearhead this advance and take the brunt while the others flank the enemy, of course this means you and those blade breaking scythes of yours are up front with the shield-men to be our shield of meat and bone,\" she replied casually.\n\nTerek raised a brow, \"So what will the rest of you be doing while I'm busy avoiding anything that will take my head off?\"\n\n\"The rest of us will be dishing out some damage to anything we can reach that you shield-men hold back,\" Agrok began to advance toward the enemy positions in the square, \"Move that butt, we need to stare at it while you break up their formations, not the other way around.\"\n\nThe wounded male just shook his head, \"Just make sure you deal that damage every second you can, there is no handy gifted healers to put me back together if something goes wrong. Besides, I'm hurt.\"\n\n\"You said you were okay, we don't have time for you to be a fussy fledgeling,\" she fired right back, \"March soldier.\"\n\nThere were no more words, each member of the unit fell into their established roles as they marched toward the Legion's defensive positions. The enemy looked nervous as they stood their ground, obviously not expecting such a well balanced and well organized foe to be so far behind their own attack forces. The archers on the rooftops took aim at the advancing troops while Herlen breathed hard and fast as he thought over his spells. Agrok smacked his beak with the tip of her tail.\n\n\"Quit over thinking your attack and make one already,\" she barked her command as the bow strings buzzed and launched their missiles at the advancing Titanian forces.\n\nThe timid mage cried out as the gryphoness snatched an arrow from it's path, directly at his throat. He panicked and launched a fireball at the trio of archers, engulfing the men and incinerating them quickly. There was also the unfortunate side effect of setting the building ablaze as well.\n\nAgrok growled as the shield-men kicked aside the other two arrows that had bounced off their shields, \"Put that damned fire out and use something more sensible next time, we want to take the town not raze it. The rest of you, advance, we are here to kill Legion, not parade about the square.\"\n\nTerek gave a grim nod and began to advance quickly toward the first knot of resistance to their advance with the rest of the shield-men close on his flanks. In all their ranks had swelled by eight shield bearers and two swordsmen with the arrival of the human troops. The wall of wood and steel that crashed into the Legion's own shield-men was more than they expected with the large armed broadwing at their center. Terek made a vicious strike at his opponent's shield, easily bowling the much lighter human over with his full forced swing. He quickly turned his weapons in an arch that caught the sides of the shields that the Legion troops beside his initial target were using against his brothers in arms. The Titanian soldiers both spun with fluid motion and grace as they kept their shields relatively in position to guard their backs as they turns the move into a thrust of their swords into the vital organs of their former opponents. The Legion's defensive line began to crumble in seconds as the freed men were able to force their way into the growing hole and flank the defenders on either side while Terek engaged the regular fighters behind them.\n\nAgrok slipped through the hole with a few of her gryphons to assault the men on the other side, dodging a high swing with a duck and catching the swordsman's ankle in a foreclaw as she stood back up to topple the man over onto his back. Before he could recover from his fall she was on him, sliding his own dagger from it's sheath and driving it into his heart. More archers appeared on the roof tops while they were tangled with the foot troops. Agrok felt a ball of ice in her gut as they took aim at her, having realized that she was in command. Her current foe was fast, slashing with a twin set of wicked daggers like an unrelenting viper trying to sink poisoned fangs into her flesh and leaving her no room to dodge the archer's lethal aim. Her opponent made a quick attempt at a backhanded slash with his left hand that the gryphoness dodged with ease, though she seemed to be open for him as he deftly twirled the blade in his fingers to shift it into position for an attempted lunge at her heart through her side. He seemed to forget that he was fighting a winged creature, or he assumed she would not risk damaging the limbs, what ever was the case his move gave Agrok a prime opening. She struck with her left wing, smashing the leading edge right into her foe's forearm and forced his hand nice and hard against his chest. The impact sank the long fang shaped steel deep into his chest and let his crimson life pour from the wound like a cut wine skin.\n\nThe man fell just in time for her to see the arrow leave the archer's bow, streaking through the air in a direct path for her heart. The wing strike left her at an odd angle with no hope to dodge or deflect the deadly missile. The end of her life was no more than two feet from her when she seen what looked like a ripple in the air streak back along the arrow's path, shattering the deadly shaft and spraying the debris away from her before that ripple struck the archer and punched a large hole right through his chest and the top of his gut with an explosion of flesh and gore.\n\nHerlen stared wide eyed at her, looking past her at the tumbling body of the archer, \"I-I.. what have I done?\"\n\n\"Your job and your duty to your nation and your brothers and sister in arms. If it bothers you to tear another being apart like that, use something that kills with less dramatic effect like an ice spell or steal the breath from their lungs or something,\" Agrok turned to pat the traumatized mage on his shoulder when she noticed the puddle forming beneath him, \"Don't worry, I will make it a point to leave that part out of my report and so will the rest of the boys.\"\n\nKisp, the large golden tan feathered broadwing gave the mage a clap on his shoulder, \"A fine kill, a little messier that needed, but that will sure teach those pricks to shoot at our little lady now wont it?\"\n\n\"W-why was this one so hard when the fireball was so easy,\" Herlen's eyes watered as he was literally on the edge of tears.\n\nThe larger male shook his head, \"It's the eyes and the effect, you could see it this time. Don't be ashamed of what you did here, it's normal to feel repulsed in making your first personal kill like that. If you did not use that precise spell though, our fine commander here would have given her life for her people. Remember that you traded his life for hers and it will help make this easier to stomach, hell I threw up after my first kill. Come lad, we have more to do and not a lot of time to do so. Their lives for the lives of our people, think of the females and the gryphlets that are safer for your actions here, they need you and so do we. I'll watch your back out here.\"\n\nThe taperwing nodded slowly as he moved along next to the larger male to seek out their next targets. Agrok took note that the archers had disappeared from the roof tops after that grim display of magic. She let her troops push back the Legion while she assessed the battlefield to see if she needed to make any changes to the current melee. Her sharp eyes scanned the positions of the Legion troops to see that they were all converging on the attacking unit while their defensive efforts were being focused on her gryphons and men. Beyond them she could see the other two units moving quickly toward the rear flanks of the Legion units. Agrok turned her attention back on the men before her, choosing carefully until she found the perfect opening to pounce an unsuspecting foe and drive the hook of her beak through his back beneath his spine before she ripped her head back with all her might. There was a sickening wet 'thunk' as a section of her victim's spine pulled free in her beak to leave the rest of him convulsing on the ground. A quick glance to her right showed her a fine pair of magic and talon working together to wreak true havoc on the Legion before them as Herlen fell into a fighting rhythm with Kisp. The gryphoness allowed herself a small sigh of relief as performing the task of dancing spell around talon seemed to be keeping the distraught mage focused on other things than his previous gruesome act.\n\nA sharp cry of pain told Agrok that one of her birds had been wounded, driving her to act to protect the wounded warrior. She found herself facing a pair of fighters that brought too good a balance for her liking. The duo consisted of a rather strong built human with a heavy two handed sword of some type and some kind of humanoid cat creature with bladed claws strapped over it's hands. The cat moved too quickly and too often for her to tell if the black spots on it's light brown hide were markings or warpaint. All she knew was that she had to watch every move she made as the fast attacks of the cat were meant to either drive her into one of the heavy swings of it's partner or wound her so the human could catch her with a powerful slash. It felt like an eternity of dodge and evade at high speed, sapping the strength from her body rather quickly under the dual onslaught. Just when Agrok was sure the pair would wear her down and slay her at their leisure, the human's sword struck steel and froze in mid swing much to the shocked dismay of the man wielding it.\n\n\"Don't leave me out of this fun little dance,\" Terek grinned as he shoved the burly man back, \"I got the muscle man, you handle the pussy.\"\n\nAgrok found herself on much better ground against the cat as she was finally able to focus on it, \"I would make a joke on that but it would probably feed some rumors I haven't heard yet.\"\n\nThe feline tried to press a flurry of slashing strikes, but she was fast enough to match each strike with a block and parry. It was in that moment that Agrok realized the most important factor in her current battle, the cat was not as fast as she was. Terek's engagement had apparently broken up the duo's entire fighting strategy. Without the heavy swordsman creating a lethal distraction, the cat seemed lost on how to address the foe at hand. Agrok was not so handicapped as to only be able to fight in one way and turned the tables on the feline with an advancing flurry of her own slashing talons and snapping beak. Terek seemed to be fairing just as well as the heavy armed human seemed puzzled as to how to handle a foe he could not overpower. The huge broadwing firmly blocked each of the slow, powerful swings of that massive blade with the heavy curved blades of his own gryphon scythes. Terek's powerful frame simply tensed on each impact and held strong. He easily had his foe beaten once he decided how to make that last lethal move.\n\nIt didn't take long for the large male gryphon to make his move, catching the flat of the heavy sword in the curve of his left scythe and rove it down with all his might as his right scythe cleaved upward to catch and snap the sword with the immense force of his scissoring strike. The heavy armored human cried out in shock as his beloved weapon was suddenly only a quarter the length is once was. Unfortunately for the Legion soldier, Terek was not done. His upward swing was intentionally arched to scrape the tip against the human's visor and cause a distraction while the gryphon lurched back with his left foreclaw and bring it back with a dreadfully powerful strike against the lower left of his foe's breastplate. The heavy scythe blade made for a perfect spike, causing the tip to pierce the armor under such a powerful impact and gouge deep into the human's belly. He shoved his foe off his scythe and released a heavy plume of crimson to wash over the man's armor as he stumbled back and sank to his knees as the life flowed rapidly from the wound.\n\nThe cat let out a feral scream as she tore herself away from Agrok and hurled herself at Terek in a grief stricken rage. The gryphoness was quick to react and caught the creature by the tail to swing it back with all her might and send it sprawling onto it's back with herself between it and the male. The feline was not finished, scrambling to it's feet again with blind rage written all over it's face as it flung it's self at the gryphoness with a hissing growl. Agrok scooped up the broken blade of the human's sword and raised it quickly for the cat to impale it's own throat on the sharp point in it's reckless attack. The impact forced the sharp edges of the blade along Agrok's foreclaw and into her flesh beneath the scales. The cuts were not very deep, but they did send a sharp stinging pain through her foreclaw and forcing her to hobble back from the mortally wounded creature.\n\nThe Legion soldiers seemed to pull back for a moment as a distant cry of alarm went up to announce the arrival of at least one of the other Talons squads on the flank of their opposing forces. Agrok took the moment of advantage to hobble to her downed bird and check on him.\n\n\"Jerohd, are you still alive,\" she asked as she examined the wounds on the still lump of feathers.\n\nThe gryphoness was pleased to feel the warmth in his body before he gasped a breath and replied, \"Yeah, still alive and not enjoying it at the moment.\"\n\n\"How bad is it, can you tell,\" Agrok asked gently as she tried to trace the blood to it's source.\n\nThe wounded male groaned softly as her foreclaws touched smaller wounds and bruises, \"I dodged that cat but the bastard human got a good stab in my chest, feels like he missed all my vitals. This is pretty bad though, very deep, I'm sorry to let you down on your first command but I believe I am out of this fight.\"\n\n\"Don't worry about it, you fought well and I am proud to have had you along for my first chance at being the alpha. My father is on his way with the regular troops as we speak, they have field healers along that will patch this up enough that they should be able to get you off the field to that well deserved rest,\" she replied as she searched her harness packs for the small jar of painslayer salve to apply to her fallen soldier.\n\nJerohd lay quietly as she worked on his wounds with the salve, keeping them from getting dirty and infected as well as allowing the natural painkillers in the extract sooth his pain to manageable levels. The brush of his feathers on her own wounded foreclaw reminded her that she needed to get herself dressed before she continued to fight. The injured male reached up and grasped her foreclaw in a tight, yet gentle vice of a foreclaw as he reached for the remains of the salve to spread it on her cuts.\n\n\"You are not going to patch me up and forget about yourself, go on and get that wrapped up so you can lead the boys to victory,\" Jerohd gave her a gentle nod before he lay his head back down and waited for the fight to end.\n\nAgrok smiled warmly to the wounded male before she turned away toward Terek and the two fighters, \"Thank you, Jerohd, I think those Legion warriors should have some sort of cloth I can- TEREK! What the hell are you doing!\"\n\nShe could not see well, but her angle did allow her to see his back with a foreclaw holding the body of the feline with it's rump suspended by the tail as he worked on pulling it's trousers down, \"Oh, I was simply curious, never seen one of these things before and I wanted to know if you fought a male or female.\"\n\n\"Terek.. we don't have time for this, nor is this really the way to go about such an investigation,\" she sighed and moved back toward the fighting, \"Well?\"\n\nThe male cocked an ear tuft in her direction, \"Well what?\"\n\n\"You already exposed the damned thing, you might as well share your findings,\" she huffed a bit as she used the pause as an excuse to take stock of her unit, finding the pleasant state of only having one wounded gryphon to that point.\n\nTerek chuckled softly, \"You will be pleased to know that you have eliminated the only competition for meanest female on this battlefield. Hmm.. she seems to have a heavy scent of the human about her.\"\n\n\"Terek, put that down and get back in the fight, that's an order,\" Agrok snapped with a shake of her head, \"You're getting a little too interested in that corpse and it's starting to disturb me.\"\n\nHe shrugged and tossed the feline corpse aside, \"Alright, let's get back to killing Legion. It's a pity though, that thing was kind of cute.\"\n\n\"Just about any female is cute from that angle,\" she shook her head and winced as she stepped on her wounded foreclaw.\n\nTerek tilted his head a moment before he began to open a pocket built into his battle harness, \"Come here, we'll get that wrapped up quickly so you can do this without infection ruining your victory.\"\n\n\"Thanks,\" Agrok watched quietly for a moment as her second in command wrapped a clean cloth about her foreclaw, \"Terek, I'm sorry I snapped like that. You just really surprised me and shocked me with that strange behavior, I really wasn't expecting to see that.\"\n\nHe shook his head as he tied off her makeshift bandage, \"No, it was weird to do, let alone to turn around and see like that. I just get intensely curious from time to time and everything seemed to be under control.\"\n\n\"Thanks for the glove, now if you promise to survive this, I promise to never mention this little cat incident,\" she smiled before she turned and charged back toward the fighting, \"Come on boy, there's more work to do!\"\n\nTerek huffed a bit as he charged toward the enemy, \"I am not some sort of canine!\"\n\nAgrok did not bother to give any kind of retort as she was already engaged with a fellow swinging and jabbing a poleaxe at her. The big male himself found a Legion soldier with a shield and spear combination that was proving problematic for his comrades. The ability to parry that spear opened it's wielder to attack with only the hoplon to protect his body from the gryphon's powerful strikes. The Legion soldier found himself overpowered by the big broadwing as Terek hammered at that shield, sending the spear-man stumbling with every strike until he forced him to the ground. Once he had his opponent down, Terek caught the edge of the shield and shoved it aside for a quick slashing strike at his victim's chest. The heavy blade made quick work of the leather armor and bone beneath under the gryphon's strength.\n\nAgrok dodged the slow attacks with a nimble grace as she looked for the right moment to close the distance on her opponent. A prime opportunity presented it's self in a lunge with too much force behind it, which she dodged with ease only to shoulder the shaft of the weapon and force the owner to readjust his footing. The gryphoness lunged at her opponent with flashing claws that tore his light armor and flesh with ease, quickly reducing him to a bloody mess on the ground. Agrok was quick to make use of his fallen weapon, snatching it up and making a hard swing at the back of the nearest Legion soldier that was engage with another of her gryphons. The second fighter was caught off guard and cried out in pained surprise as the heavy head of the poleaxe sank into his back and severed his spine. The blade of her borrowed weapon lodged firmly in the body of her prey, making it more effort to retrieve than to leave it behind.\n\n\"Thanks for the assist,\" the tan feathered male nodded his thanks before his eyes widened, \"Commander, your right!\"\n\nThe warning gave her just enough time to see the sword swinging at her with just enough time to raise the shaft of the poleaxe to block the deadly strike. The gryphon she had helped just a moment before launched himself at the swordsman, catching his head with a shattering strike of his massive foreclaw. Although the talons sank deep into his neck and face, Agrok was certain that the force of the blow was what killed the human.\n\nShe gave a nod of thanks to the other warrior, \"Now we're even, let's finish this up and catch our breaths before the larger force gets here.\"\n\n\"Right, looks like it's mostly a small knot under that statue in the square. They seem to be holed up pretty good,\" the male nodded toward the square just ahead.\n\nAgrok scanned the situation ahead with her eyes. Sure enough, there was a small wall surrounding the statue of some old warrior that was giving the Legion troops a good defensive advantage. Her blue eyes locked on the huge pillar of carved and shaped stone towering over the men. An idea formed in her head as she looked about her troops.\n\n\"Herlen? Where is Herlen? If you're alive I need you front and center,\" she called out over the sounds of fighting.\n\nThe tapper winged male scrambled quickly to stand before her, looking for more secure than eh had previously, \"Yes Ma'am!\"\n\n\"The largest remaining opposition is under that statue there, I want you to bring it down on their heads,\" Agrok ordered with a nod of her beak toward the knot of resistance.\n\nHerlen nodded and set to work, even as he made his reply, \"I have just the thing ma'am.\"\n\nNot a moment after he replied, Herlen's spell took hold on the base of the statue, turning the half facing the Legion troops into sand and toppling the heavy stone statue onto the fighters below. Those who avoided the crashing stone work were quickly picked off by the Titanian soldiers waiting for them at the end of their wild scramble.\n\nThe scent of blood was heavy in the air as Agrok surveyed her battlefield to take stock of her unit. She could see a few that suffered minor wounds, and only the one bird who would be out of the fight. There was only one task left to perform, they had to find and kill the general. Her eyes turned immediately to the town hall, it did make perfect sense to run things out of a building already meant to run the town.\n\n\"Terek, get the unit back in order and assemble the other squads. Kisp, Herlen, you two are to come with me, I believe I might know where our final target is,\" Agrok issued her orders as she started her rushed walk to the town hall building.\n\nThe three males all gave a nod and answered together, \"Yes ma'am.\"\n\nHerlen and Kisp both rushed to keep up with their substitute commander, \"So we did it, we really did it.\"\n\n\"This was not that difficult a mission, nor is it over yet Herlen,\" she replied sternly, \"Even a simple assignment can go so very wrong. We wont rest or congratulate ourselves until the general is dead and the legion forces are thrown back.\"\n\nThe small mage laid his ears back and ducked his head a bit, \"Oh, right, sorry ma'am.\"\n\nAgrok did not bother to try and restore his confidence, there was no time, they had reached the doors. She carefully raised a foreclaw to check the door handle, finding it to be locked.\n\n\"Well, that is a good sign that we are on the right trail,\" she announced, \"Herlen, get me a scry on this door and the room beyond, I don't want any surprises.\"\n\nKisp gave a huff and shouldered her aside, \"Pardon me ma'am, but we have little time before any kind of response from the Soul Legion. Best to just let me throw my weight around.\"\n\nAgrok backed up quickly as the large male took a step back, \"Kisp, wait, we don't know what's-\"\n\nThe warrior lunged his shoulder at the heavy door to try and break it down as she spoke. The crashing and splintering of wood cut her words short as the door crashed outward along with the body of her comrade with only the quick glimpse of a large flash of metal as the only clue. Kisp rolled down the steps and began to convulse with the head injury.\n\nAgrok turned her eyes back on the door to see a large, muscular minotaur heft a massive war maul up to his shoulder, \"Aww, I broke your little birdy.\"\n\nHerlen rushed to his fallen friend's side in a panic, trying to revive him desperately as Agrok stared darkly at the black furred beast.\n\n\"Herlen, stay back and keep everyone else back. I'll take care of this,\" she ordered at the grinning beast.\n\nThe minotaur shifted his massive hammer to the ready in his hands, \"So the little girly bird wants to fight eh? Don't expect me to go easy on you, I really am curious if you taste like chicken?\"\n\nAgrok did not rise to his bait, she kept her focus and concentration tight on her task as she made her first lunge to draw out an attack from her foe. The general reacted as she had expected, taking a swing with that massive hammer. The gryphoness leaped backward to avoid the strike and made her real attempt to strike in the wake of that hammer, but her opponent was not so easily taken. The minotaur made a quick reversal of his swing with a grin. She quickly rolled under the high swing to land herself in a low crouch when she hit her feet again. The minotaur raised his maul and tried to bring it down on the gryphoness with an overhead smash. Agrok quickly countered the move by leaping backwards, a move that most other gryphons were not quite agile enough to perform. The head of that massive hammer smashed into the stone steps of the town hall. The gryphoness made a quick hop onto the head of the hammer before she launched herself at the head of the minotaur, grasping his horns with her foreclaws to flip herself down along his back so she could use the momentum to throw him over her and dislodge the maul from his hands in the process.\n\nThe general impacted the steps head first, stunning him for a moment. That moment was all it took for Agrok to scoop up the lost maul while the minotaur was struggling to regain his feet. A vicious upward swing caught the humanoid bovine square in the muzzle, caving in his snout and throwing him back against the ground. The gryphoness was quick to adjust her stance for a second blow, this one coming overhand to crash into the general's chest with a sickening wet cracking of ribs and a spray of blood from his mouth as the heavy strike burst his lungs. Agrok tossed the maul aside as she panted heavily with the efforts of the long battle taking their toll on her.\n\n\"Herlen, how is Kisp, is he,\" she began to ask as she turned to face the mage only to find that many more of their forces had come to watch the battle between their lead commander and the minotaur general.\n\nThe mage looked up the steps at her with a rather distressed look in his eyes, \"He has a pulse, but his convulsions haven't stopped, nor has he shown any signs of consciousness.\"\n\n\"Do what you can for him, I'll report in with the news of the town's capture,\" the gryphoness turned her eyes away from the sad sight of the mage tending his fallen friend and touched her badge to open the link to her father, \"Agrok Asreigh reporting in, we have dead and wounded, but we have taken the town and eliminated the Legion general. Requesting that the field healers be ready to tend to our boys and birds as soon as they arrive-\"\n\nAgrok found her words cut short as a large foreclaw crashed into the left side of her face , her assailant having come from behind with the sneak attack. There were angry shouts of surprise as more than one large body rushed to cut off her attacker. Once the stars cleared from her head and returned her vision, Agrok could see Terek standing firm and facing another broadwing.\n\n\"Just what the hell do you think you're doing,\" he snapped at the other male.\n\nCommander Jahkra glared at her as if Terek were not even here, \"You bitch! I was fine to keep fighting and leading my squad, but you decided to humiliate me by putting me in time out like some kind of child! Get up, so I can tear you apart properly.\"\n\n\"Terek, back down, I can handle this,\" Agrok growled as she hauled herself back to her feet to glare at the offending commander, \"Are you done, Jahkra? Perhaps you would like a moment to piss all over everything so we know it's yours?\"\n\nThe commander growled as he held the smaller female with a hard stare, \"what the hell are you talking about?\"\n\n\"I'm talking about your macho bullshit, I made a command decision based on the stats brought to me by my own bird. No one asked you to agree with it, simply to do it. Would it have made a difference if I were a male? Would you have had the balls to walk up here and sucker punch Terek if he were the one in command?\"\n\nJahkra just glared at her as everyone else around started to grin at one another and whisper teasing little jibes to one another about the offending commander.\n\n\"I didn't think so, let me make this perfectly clear,\" Agrok stalked forward with absolute venom in her voice, \"The only reason I haven't stomped your face in or removed your pride and shoved it up your own tail is this I am busy getting this place ready for the pending Legion attack. I suggest you see what your second has for you to do for just that event.\"\n\nJahkra gave a snort, \"So you're going to tell daddy on me now? We all know that is why you got this position in this operation.\"\n\n\"She got this position for her close work with the absent commander and exceptional field performance, otherwise I would have liked to apply her talents elsewhere. As fir telling on you, her com was already open with me when you pulled this stunt as she was giving her report, idiot. I wont be handling this myself for obvious conflict of interest, but I will place the matter in the hands of our fine generals to review and act accordingly,\" Reyfis spat over the communicator.\n\nAgrok shook her head gently, \"Jahkra, get out of my face and go see what Veleran wants you to do. He's in charge now until some one higher ranking overrides my orders. The rest of you, if you have field aide supplies on you, assist the wounded, the more severe the higher priority. I have to take stock of our surroundings and begin the planning of our defenses until the rest of the defense group arrives.\"\n\nAll the soldiers that were present all gave the customary \"Yes ma'am!\", but several seemed reluctant. Far more than she would have expected seemed to be fine with her orders and where they came from, she was earning the respect of her fellow warriors as both a warrior and a leader. She found that she liked that respect in place of an admiring gaze if she could not attract such looks. Part of her felt guilty at those thoughts, for there was one who already looked upon her with such an adoring eye and she was beginning to feel a bit beholden to her. Time would tell the outcome of that situation, just as time would tell the outcome of the battle at hand. Agrok could only hope she was strong enough to see both to an acceptable conclusion.\n\n\\* \\* \\\n\nChaos, that was the only way Kahlah could describe the primary front, even more so than a standard battle would have brought. They had under estimated the arcane strength that the Soul Legion had amassed at their borders and the limited arcane resources of the Titanian lines were stretched to their limit just to poorly defend their troops against it. The scouts had been pulled back only hours before the defense forces arrived, but in that time the enemy had gated in so many mages that they overwhelmed the Titanian defenders with ease. She found herself pounding against shields and squashing numerous minor mages, each one a trivial threat on their own, but they came in swarms. Their gryphon forces were kept on the ground by dozens upon dozens of wind barriers, making them entirely ineffective in the current battle. The Titanian archers had really saved the day and given them a fighting chance with bold hit and run strikes on the mage and archer nests that brought them within striking distance of the enemy.\n\n\"I'm calling in the scouts to help those archers neutralize more of their ranged forces, can you mages hold out until they get here to put that pressure on them,\" General Carpenter shouted over the roar of the battlefield.\n\nKahlah felt her physical strength fade for a moment before she found her strength once more, \"I think we can, we really have no other choice.\"\n\nCarpenter nodded and hefted his great-sword to his shoulder as he tapped the Titanian crest on his breast plate and began to issue his orders to the scouts that were watching their tails from Legion reinforcements. This was a desperate move and Kahlah knew it would leave them blind, but they had to do something to turn the tide of the battle. The drake mage worked feverishly to unravel and trace the source of each wind barrier to try and thin out the numbers of mages casting them so they could get their birds in the air and working on the ground troops. The number of barriers was dropping too slow to give any hope of bringing them all down in time to make a difference.\n\nA frantic stream of orders brought her attention back to the fighting lines before her as a key position began to weaken under a hard push by the Legion. Kahlah had no other choice but to abandon her task to add her arcane might to the fighting men in that section. She quickly cast a rather complex spell, mostly to keep the lesser mages on the other side from being able to read and counter it. A large green ball of what appeared to be fire roared to life over the heads of the Soul Legion's troops before the ball exploded into a shower of small embers that dissolved armor and flesh on contact, proving them to be a corrosive form of energy rather than fire. The acid burst covered a rather large area, killing enough of the enemy to buy time for Tarse to reinforce the weakened position before they Legion forces could recover. Kahlah staggered for a moment as her strength nearly failed on her, panting in exhaustion. If she was so very drained already, she could not imagine how drained the lesser mages in their ranks must have been in such a desperate battle. They needed reinforcements for their mages, that much was absolutely certain.\n\n\"What are you fools doing? I sent enough of you to easily overwhelm the opposition, and yet they still defy you,\" a deep voice thundered over the sounds of battle with the kind of volume that could only have been achieved by a very large creature, \"Must I do everything myself?\"\n\nKahlah felt her heart drop into the tip of her tail as she spotted the dark green and blue scaled sky dragon standing behind the Legion troops. She knew him too well as the surviving twin of the pair that had taken Rio's mother. A Vyrekai had joined the battle on the enemy's behalf and she was in no shape to face another adept, let alone a stringer opponent. The time had come to call for help from their own Vyrekai.\n\n\"Tensaih,\"* she screamed through her arcane channels, making no move to hide her desperation.\n\nThe calm voice of the silver female replied, \"I see him, and I am already starting to raise the shields, I have something here to help the rest of your mages as well, just hold out for a few more seconds my friend.\"\n\n\"I wish I could say okay, but I think this one remembers me and we are all simply exhausted,\" the drake could scarcely conceal the panic in her mental voice.\n\nTensaih was quick to respond with a grim tone to her words, \"I will aim my new weapon before the shield raises then.\"\n\nThe odd opalescent eyes of the opposing Vyrekai widened for a moment as he took in the battlefield with more than just his eyes, \"I feel you out there, the little mage that slipped through my talons..it has taken me over a century, but I have learned your name! Kahlah, did you like what my brother and I did to that female who tried to protect you? You wont get to enjoy such honors today.\"\n\n\"Please hurry, I am too drained to fight him,\" she could feel herself trembling with a fear she had not known since she was a child as she waited for her distant ally to protect them from the monster from her past.\n\n\\* \\* \\\n\nTensaih frowned deeply as she scanned the battlefield and evaluated the strength of the Vyrekai who had arrived, \"Kahlah is in trouble, one of GahlByrn's overlords has arrived. Not only that, they seem to have brought a whole lot more lesser mages than we anticipated.\"\n\n\"You'll be able to handle the situation from here,\" Gracie asked with no small amount of concern in her eyes.\n\nThe dragoness shook her shimmering head, \"I am in the midst of raising the national shield, I cannot make so many attacks at once while performing such an energy intensive task. You, on the other hand, have no other tasks to perform. If you attack from below, you can catch the Legion mages by surprise as they are unaware that we know the weakness in their shielding.\"\n\n\"What can I do? I'm barely an apprentice and we are miles away from the battlefield,\" the gryphoness began to protest.\n\nTensaih shook her head at the protests while she fed her own power into the shields to force them to raise and manifest as a barrier about the nation's borders in a cascading chain reaction, \"You can already scry and cast at such great distances if you can find and draw forth the living stone from the depths of the earth with as much precision as you claim. The process is no different, just side ways instead of down. Trust me when I say you can do this, it's not about power, it's about tactical opening and well placed strikes. You are most skilled at geomancy, and the Legion mages make dome like shields instead of spheres that leave their feet exposed to the earth. The earth that you are so very skilled at manipulating. I wont tell you how, but I will tell you that you need to strike as many as possible with the initial strike to have as large an effect as possible for our poor tired mages.\"\n\nGracie laid her ears back a moment as she started to shrink in on herself with the pressure and gravity of the situation, Tensaih pulled her back out with a few words of encouragement, \"Heroes aren't always the biggest, the strongest, or the most powerful, often times they are just regular people who stand up and use what skills they have at the right moment. This moment was made for you, Gracie, prove what you and all other geomancers can do.\"\n\nThe gryphoness seemed torn for a moment before her eyes glazed with a nervous expression as she was obviously trying to scry the battlefield from their position before her face took on a hard look of determination, \"Would it be okay if I killed all their mages?\"\n\n\"So long as you get that Vyrekai, he would be the sky dragon at the back of their forces,\" Tensaih pointed out.\n\nGracie nodded grimly, \"I can try, but I am not sure I can sneak by him to land an attack. What a kill that would be!\"\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nZarethek growled to himself as he watched the soldiers he had sent to assist General Rexten disappear from his own sight down the road. The worthless minotaur had gotten himself in the middle ground again, too close for safety and too far for cover. The pathetic fool would probably be dead by the time those troops reached him. No matter, he was not the true commander of that particular army to begin with. The brutish oaf would have lead them all to their graves with no effect on their enemies if he had let him pretend to be in charge. The dragon felt no guilt in hoping that the stupid cow really was dead when the reinforcements arrived. He was even tempted to do it himself and blame it on the Titanian forces.\n\nZarethek would have to wait for such delights however, he had the scent of another who had eluded him so long ago, before he had taken his own brother's soul for the power he gained from it. Sharp amber eyes scanned the back of the Titanian forces before him, seeking the flash of white scales that would mark the presence of his prey. A fireball struck his shields with no more force than a journeyman could have produced, such a pitiful attempt at attacking him. It was distracting, none the less, so Zarethek retaliated with a proper fireball that shattered the shields and consumed the body of the young gryphon mage that had made the attempt. A much more powerful bolt of electricity struck his shields and made them quiver under the power of the strike. He traced the spell back to it's source to find the determined violet eyes of a red tipped drake glaring at him from across the battlefield. Kahlah had stepped up to face him for the sake of her underlings, such a foolishly noble act. If she wanted to challenge him, he would be glad to show her exactly how foolish she was being.\n\n\"So be it, fool, I will gladly accept this challenge,\" Zarethek bellowed over the sounds of fighting below as he unleashed an intense pillar of fire in a horizontal arch toward the drake, \"It makes finding you so much easier!\"\n\nKahlah gave a sharp crying growl of effort as she forced all her might into her shields to weather the harsh attack. The dragon grinned to himself as it looked as though his spell was about to crumble her shields. That grin quickly turned to an angry snarl as the drake's real counter was revealed. She had hidden her own attack down the center of his pillar of flame, gutting it with a similar pillar of frost that squelched the flames and slammed into his own shields. The shields of the Vyrekai were for stronger than those of the drake, leaving him free to just laugh at her attempt to reach him. Zarethek unleashed a bright white ball of energy that shined violet around the edges. The sphere raced toward the drake as she braced her shields to take the impact of the spell .\n\nThe dragon kept his face perfectly strait until the ball split into four separate balls of energy that spun to either side of her and shot out a small beam of energy each to strike along the flanks of the lithe drake. Kahlah cried out as the energy struck her with a rather physical force that burned her scales and drove her to the ground. The adept was not finished by that spell however, and she struck back with a similar beam of forceful energy from her outstretched palm. Zarethek almost roared with laughter as he fortified his shields to prove the futility of her efforts against him.\n\n\"Guess again winged basilisk,\" Kahlah gasped out against the pain as her hidden spells struck their true target, reshaping his shields into something he could not identify before the beam struck them and turned them into an arcane hammer head that struck him square in the chest.\n\nThe impact drove the breath from his lungs and sent him sprawling on his back in an inglorious heap. The drake crumbled under her exhaustion, unable to even maintain her shields any longer. Zarethek gasped for a moment as he tried to regain his breath and his footing, unleashing a bellowing roar of pure rage once he recovered his stance and his breath. He simply could not wrap his mind around the fact that a mere adept had altered his shields into her own attack. She had made a fool of him on the battlefield and that was simply unforgivable. Kahlah had to die by his spells, in a display that would prove his power and wrath were not to be challenged. Crystal blue eyes scanned the battlefield once more as Zarethek searched for his opponent. The Vyrekai felt a sadistic glee well up in his chest when he spotted the crumpled form of the drake mage right where she had stood to attack him in the first place. The dragon did not hesitate or hold anything back as he unleashed a brutal storm of spells at his unconscious target. Bolts and balls of fire, ice, lightning, and even raw arcane energy raced toward the motionless form of the adept who dared to challenge him.\n\nJust before his spells struck their target, a flash of enchanted steel struck the first fire bolt and cleaved through it as though it were a physical object, sending harmless sparks of dissipating energy everywhere. With lightning speed and expert skill, Saltriss swung his legendary blade to cleave, block, and parry every last spell as if they were enemy blades being aimed at his fallen mate. Once the last spell shattered into countless sparks of energy, the drake warrior stood firm in a ready stance with his blade, The Eye of the Drake, held firmly in his hands. The razor sharp edge of that enchanted steel pointed toward Zarethek while the tip pointed at the ground. The dragon was thankful that he had the pair pinned on the other side of the battlefield. A warrior like Saltriss with such a blade would have been quite the nasty foe to tangle with, especially for a sky dragon like him. His thin scales would provide little to no protection against the sword's edge and he lacked the awesome size of earth, fire, or ice dragons to overcome his lack of fighting skill. Granted, he did tower over the drakes, but not by enough to make a real impact on the lethal effects of The Eye. One good shot on the belly or the neck and he was finished.\n\nZarethek knew he would never get a spell past the skills of his new foe, but he had a trick under his wing. The Vyrekai unleashed a large amorphous blob of energy to streak toward the solid form of the drake warrior. Saltriss' eyes widened as he realized just what spell was heading for him. The drake steeled himself and dug in to face his fate, for the spell would burst into a blob of necrotic venom upon contact with any surface or energy. The choice was to let hit strike his mate, or to face it and be consumed himself. Zarethek grinned to himself as the lesser being chose to die for his beloved, even though he would finish her off the moment her mate was out of his way.\n\nThe dragon watched with glee until a sudden shimmering wave passed between him and the drakes, drawing a startled query from his throat, \"What was that?\"\n\nThe answer was painfully clear when his spell struck the space the shimmer had passed through and exploded in a shower venom that reacted to the obvious shielding shimmering under it by disintegrating. Several cries rang out over the sounds of the fighting below his position as something seemed to be killing his mage forces all at once. Instinct took hold of the frightened sky dragon and forced him to leap into the air with a mighty thrust of his massive wings. He had not gotten a single wing beat above the ground when the answer to what had slain his mages became horrifyingly clear to him. A thin lance of stone and dirt darted from the ground and plunged into his belly with such great speed that he could not even think of a reaction. A pain filled roar exploded from his jaws just before the lance it's self exploded into thousands more inside his body. The lance snapped under his weight and as he fell to the ground, dying, Zarethek witnessed stone and clay bodies rising from the earth it's self to aid the Titanian defenders. Geomancy, why had no one ever thought about geomancy as a weapon before? What a fool he had been, what fools they had all been. A bitter grin curled his lips; at least he did not have to worry about it any longer, his life was finished. The pain had already vanished and was replaced by the quickly closing blanket of blackness that blocked his vision for eternity.\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nMalehk watched the odd shimmering display as the strange spell struck the unseen barrier that could only have been the shielding that Tahkra had requested from Tensaih. He wasn't sure what else she had done, but it seemed that what ever it was had eliminated their swarms of arcane competition in one fell swoop. The gryphon king raised his head high to test the wind with his sensitive crest feathers. It had stopped completely to match the calm sunny weather around the battlefield. New movement caught his sharp eyes and pulled his attention to the odd sight. There was some sort of stone creature in a crude shape of a human attacking the Soul Legion's troops. Malehk's eyes began to dart around amongst the troops to see if there were any more of these odd creatures or if that was the sole individual. Much to his surprise, the golems were everywhere, mostly mixed in with the Titanian soldiers where they were in direct contact with the Legion. They weren't just stone either, several clay, sand, and even a quartz golem were mixed in the earthen swarm as they used club like arms, spiked bodies and even limbs shaped like blades to beat back the Legion troops.\n\nMalehk looked at his gryphon generals who sat beside him at the head of the gryphon troops waiting for a break in the wind barrier, \"Tarse, Lumere, get the birds ready fly once our boys have pulled back,\" he touched his golden crest upon his harness, \"Fredrick, Carpenter, those golems appear to be a gift from a friend. Pull the men back and let them carry the line for a moment while our bids deliver their gifts to the Legion. The Consorts know those boys earned a breather and a chance to help their wounded. Kahlah, I need a situation report on our mages, are they in any shape to finish this fight?\"\n\n\"Kahlah is down,\"* Saltriss replied over the arcane communicator with a touch of worry in his voice, \"We need to get her off the field and in the hands of a strong healer immediately or she wont make it. She drained herself completely in the fight with that dragon.\"\n\nMalehk shook his head in irritation and sorrow, \"Krinzehl, we have an emergency out here on the field, Kahlah is down, completely drained her reserves. Sal says she needs a healer right away and I need some one with an understanding of magic to assess and lead our mages, providing they have anything left to fight with.\"\n\n\"Right, I'm on my way to Rio's compound now while I scan our spell flingers. Saltriss, if you're still on the line, keep her warm as best you can until I get this gate up. I'm going to put it up right on Rio's toes and swap places with you,\" Krinzehl replied quickly, her voice echoing the bounce of her hurried steps.\n\nMalehk let out a sigh of relief as he shifted the focus of his communication line while he watched the troop movements from his position on a small hill at the rear of their forces, \"What ever you did to those mages pulled our tails out of the fire, Tensaih. Thanks again for saving our people.\"\n\n\"With all do respect, Lord Malehk, I didn't lift a proverbial finger to help you,\" Tensaih replied with a sly coolness to her mental tone, \"I do admit to raising the national shield, but that only solved an individual problem. The mages and the golems were the work of a very underrated and very talented young lady whom I have had the pleasure to meet on my little trip.\"\n\nThe gryphon king shook his head as he knew that Tensaih was involved, even if she didn't do the casting, \"You'll have to introduce this lady to myself and Tahkra so she can be given proper recognition for her part in today's events. That does remind me, what is the project we have heard only hushed mentions of?\"\n\nMalehk watched the troops moving about on his orders and on the finer tuned commands of the generals and lieutenants beneath him. The first wings of gryphons took to the air with their heavy metal cargo beneath them. The different golems were holding the line quite well, so well that he decided to hold off on calling the men back to the fray until they had a bit of a rest to recuperate while the constructs wore down the Soul Legion's troops.\n\n\"Carpenter, Fredrick, issue rations and water to the men. I want them rested and ready to fight before they charge back in, the golems are doing a fine job of holding things for now,\" he issued his new orders while he waited for Tensaih's reply.\n\nMalehk sensed a bit of mischief in her voice when the dragoness finally did reply just before his generals did, \"Sorry, I had to tack some things down, I can't say what the project is, but I will say that the people wanted it, needed it, and Tahkra will be angry.\"\n\n\"Orders are trickling through the ranks as we speak, Lord Malehk,\" Fredrick chimed in with his report, oblivious to the other conversations taking place over the same arcane lines of communication.\n\nKrinzehl spoke up almost as soon as Fredrick finished, \"Malehk, we got Kahlah off the field. She's pretty well drained, but it looks like she will pull through with some down time. Most of these kids are almost at that point, if you can manage without mages I would advise putting them away for now.\"\n\n\"I think we can manage now, Tensaih's companion has dealt with the Legion's mages. Good work Fredrick, have some one see to the mages, they fought to their limits today and need a bit of help recovering,\" Malehk gave a sigh and shook his head gently, \"I wish everyone could wait their turn rather than talking all at once, it gets difficult to keep track of.\"\n\nTarse chuckled softly, \"Welcome to command, pup.\"\n\nThe young king shook his head and flipped his wings irritably. Sharp eyes watched the events unfolding below as the first sets of caltrops rained down upon the Legion troops to deliver a crushing or piercing death to many of the men and strange creatures forced together by their formations. Malehk cocked a brow with interest as he spotted a few of the golems slamming their arms down onto the caltrops and using them as weapons on their limbs to deal even greater damage to their enemies. The Soul Legion was beginning to slowly defeat the golem army by shear numbers, but their own numbers were draining quickly under the construct's assault and the deadly rain the gryphons brought down upon them. The balance of power had shifted so quickly in the battle that it left Malehk with a sobering thought; if they could turn the tides of a battle in an instant, so could the Soul Legion. He would have to meet with the nobility, his generals, and their allies to discuss back up plans to keep civilians safe in the event their defenders were to ever fail against their mighty foe.\n\n\"I hope our boys and birds are doing well up at the town,\" Lumere mused absently.\n\nMalehk found himself hoping the same, with the current battle well in their control, he had little else to do but worry about his family out there beyond the enemy lines.\n\n\\* \\* \\\n\nAgrok's talons ached as she raked them through another throat, the tugging felt like fire as the flesh of her victim resisted her lethal strike. The stinging pain of the cut in her palm did not help either as the battle dragged on. The battle must have been going terrible for their comrades if the Soul Legion had spared so many men to retake the town. Reyfis and his men were not quite prepared for such a large advance, but they were well dug in and it didn't take much adjusting to have them ready to take the strong push. Agrok lead her more offensive squad in the task of pushing back the invading Legion reinforcements. Terek had joined her on the list of lightly wounded with a bolt from a hand crossbow in his left shoulder that had him moving with a mild limp. A bright flash of lightning reminded her that Herlen had stepped up to replace Kisp, even though his own duties had been fulfilled. The young mage felt the best way to honor his fallen friend, was to see his mission completed.\n\nSomething had snapped in Herlen that had awakened his fighting spirit, making him a frightening sight to behold as he seemed to feed off every Legion soldier he killed, gaining momentum with every spell that struck his targets. Even he was showing signs of tiring as they pushed hard against the Soul Legion's attempt to retake the town, although her squad was pushing hard enough to take ground from the Soul Legion, Agrok's squad was getting tired and that was dangerous for them. They were beginning to make small mistakes, and while most were easily corrected, every mistake in a battle could easily lead to a lethal miss-hap. Agrok was finding herself distracted with the thoughts of safety for her birds and men, she didn't like that at all. She was not cut out to be a squad leader, and she knew that only too well. Her conscience was too easily burdened by the well being of her troops that she was fighting hesitation in commanding them to risk their lives. The gryphoness had not lead her borrowed unit into any kind of ruin, but the weight of Kisp's grievous injuries dragged her heart down like the anchor of a great ship.\n\nA new opponent stepped up to replace her last foe, this one lashed at her with a pair of heavy braided leather whips. Agrok found herself desperately trying to dodge the quick and surprisingly maneuverable weapons as she was quite out of her element against such attacks. The gryphoness kept her wits about her and used her opponents unrelenting assault to learn his weapons limits and applications, she simply kept her feet light and held her distance to make sure she had enough time to dodge any incoming attacks. Her opponent worked hard to keep his assault up against her, sweat dripped down his well structured face and off the tips of his blond hair. His blue eyes held firm to hers rather than picking out targets and giving away his strikes. Agrok could have easily called this man a handsome human, but his charming appearance would not sway her* into any distraction. They would do nothing to save his life either as the gryphoness realized that she was entering the state of awareness that Saltriss referred to as, 'The warrior's temporal zone'. It was a state of senses and awareness that was so focused that they all sharpened and made time and the entire world seem to slow down around her while her conscious thoughts speed up to take in the sensory input. It was in this state that the whip's weakness was revealed to her, the attack was a two motion attack. First the arm brought the lash to the target, then it jerked back to send a shock of kinetic energy down the lash, giving the impact in it's tight area. Agrok knew exactly how to deal with this assault and finish off her opponent, but her timing would have to be perfect.\n\nThe human lashed with the whip in his right hand once again, forcing Agrok to make her move and strike with lightning speed. One strong foreclaw grasped the lash tightly at about the half way mark, preventing the backlash and rendering the attack harmless. She jerked the shocked man toward her and smashed the curve of her beak directly into his nose and mouth, breaking teeth and bone with the force of her strike. The man stumbled back and threw his hands up to his ruined face, opening himself up for Agrok's talons to spill the contents of his belly onto the ground.\n\nTerek caught her as she began to sway on her feet, her quick and energetic fighting style took it's toll on her as exhaustion began to set in. The battle was taking longer than expected and the Titanian defenders were far worse off than their opponents, who had arrived at a leisurely pace while the defenders had been trying to build up defensible positions at a feverish pace. Agrok needed to assess the situation, which meant a higher vantage point to survey the battle zone from. The gryphoness stood up and grasped the low roof of a storage shed at what must have been some one's home. Without a word, Terek scooped his foreclaws under her hind paws and hoisted her up onto the roof. Sharp blue eyes scanned the area around them, bringing mixed news of the state of the battle. Many of the Soul Legion's men were trying to turn and run as their numbers dwindled, but one man drove them back to the fight with spells of pain that left their bodies undamaged. The black robed mage seemed to be the commander of the small regiment that had been sent to retake the town.\n\n\"Terek, get Herlen up here,\" Agrok called down to her second in command.\n\nThe mage pulled himself over the edge of the roof to join her not ten seconds later, \"Yes ma'am?\"\n\n\"That mage there is leading these men, can you do something about him, or is he beyond your abilities,\" the gryphoness kept her eyes on the enemy spell caster.\n\nHerlen eyed the opposing mage for a long moment, obviously using more than his eyes to examine the robed human, \"Not likely, he outranks me, I can't even make sense of the weave of his shielding.\"\n\nAgrok frowned at the commanding mage, \"There's got to be some way to get through his shields, he is breathing after all. Herlen! I have an idea!\"\n\n\"If it will get me that kill, I'm all ears,\"the young mage had a bit of an eager glint to his eyes.\n\nThe commander nodded her head gently, \"It just might, if your aim is true, and if you can pull off the spell combinations.\"\n\n\"What did you have in mind,\" Herlen crouched a bit closer than she felt herself comfortable with, but the gryphoness held her tongue on the matter as it would destroy the entire plan if the enemy found out in any way.\n\nAgrok spoke rather softly as she detailed her thoughts, \"Well, he has to breath, which means air is passing through that shield unchallenged. I was thinking, if you could somehow wrap another spell around your wind lance, it may just pass through as the other spell is stopped by the shield. It will be a hard kill to watch, but we need to do this to break their resolve.\"\n\n\"Don't worry about me, just buy me a moment without these savages putting arrows through me while I cast this,\" the mage had an oddly dark and sinister expression on his face as he began to prepare his spells.\n\nShe decided she would ask Grenz and Krinzehl to keep an eye on him just in case that darker side of him began to spiral out of control. Agrok didn't have time to deal with the situation on the personal level right that moment, she had a battle to win with her comrades. The gryphoness edged to the side of the building and pointed to one of her shield men before she motioned for him to come up with her to protect Herlen. Terek and Aeyaron both helped the heavily armored human up onto the roof before Terek handed the man his shield.\n\n\"Keep Herlen protected while he casts this spell cocktail,\" Agrok ordered her shield man into position before she leaned over the edge of the roof to look down at the remaining men and birds, \"Terek, you lead the ground efforts and keep the tides back, if anything looks like it can throw, shoot, or cast anything up here at us, I want it ..\"\n\nTerek cocked a sly brow, \"Deadafied ma'am?\"\n\n\"Annihilated, I want it to be less than a memory in less than a second. We only have one shot at this, we need to get it right,\" she replied quickly before darting to the far side of the building to slash the face of a Legion soldier who had tried to climb the building, \"Back to work boys and fledglings! Terek, don't just hold ground, take every inch from them and give nothing in return; not even their lives!\"\n\nTerek gave a nod and turned back to the rest of the unit, \"You heard the commander, let's get to work on these bastards!\"\n\nEvery man and gryphon under her command followed her second without question, they knew their lives were in his claws and his plans had to work to keep those lives burning hot against the shadows their foes were bringing upon them. Agrok put her trust in them as she worked to fend off the new wave of Legion troops trying to climb up the side of the building while they jabbed at her with spears and swords. There had to be at least a dozen men trying to take down the small gryphoness and reach her mage who was busy concentrating on the task that was difficult for one of his level. Agrok darted and dodged frantically as she also tried to deliver quick slashes to any opening she could find in the wall of leather, wood, and steal. There were a few near misses in which her harness absorbed the impact of a slash that would have cut into her flight muscles in her chest. She found an opening that was unexpected as her foreclaws wrapped around the shaft of a pike with an iron grip that no human could ever hope to match. The small gryphon lunged backward, pulling the man up with his weapon and knocking him into his comrades, sending blades and spears waving and falling in hand to cause a few minor to serious injuries and giving her a weapon of her own.\n\nThe sounds of arrows bouncing off the shield of her chosen man, she was pretty sure it was Burke, told her that the archers identified a mage in a casting roost. Agrok could not spare a glance for them, she had her claws full while Terek and the others clawed and hacked their way through the lines to try and push back their newest wave of assailants. Agrok jabbed madly at the men who were trying to get at her and the mage behind her. The stand off seemed to change momentum as the Legion troops were now trying madly to avoid the awkward jabs of her pike, which found flesh on a few occasions and even once sinking into an eye socket to leave the hapless man dead almost instantly with the damage to his brain. The efforts were soon thwarted as the rest of their unit began to chew through the left flank of the group trying to get at Agrok and her two comrades on the roof. One brave soul managed to get high enough to jam a dagger into the roof and tried to haul himself up, but the gryphoness was quick to strike. She snapped with her beak to latch onto his wrist and bite down with all her might. That powerful, sharp edged beak sank into his flesh with ease and snapped the bones in his arm to sever his hand and send him sprawling on his back just as the first footman reached his position to finish him off.\n\n\"Okay, I think I got it, but this is going to drain me completely. Once I cast this, you're on your own,\" Herlen announced as he reared up in preparation to launch the spells.\n\nAgrok spat the portion of her victim's arm from her beak, \"That's fine, just get that bastard and break their backs! Then you can lay down and rest.\"\n\nHerlen nodded before he reached back like he was winding up a pitch and hurled a massive lance of blue white frost energy directly at the commanding mage. The more powerful caster read the spell heading toward him and gave a snort of distaste for what he felt was a weak attack. Terek and the rest of the Queens Own Talons kept a tight discipline and fought on through their foes, paying little attention to the spell other than to identify it as one cast by their own mages. The Legion troops were much less disciplined and turned their heads up to watch in awe as the bizarre spell flew toward their commander. There was almost no time for the Legion mage to register the lethal mistake of his arrogance in his own power as the massive frost lance struck his shields with no effect at all. The wind lance worked exactly as Agrok had hoped, with the spell pushing the air toward the target rather than integrating with the particles and carrying them. The deadly super sonic rush of air slammed right through the shields of the opposing mage and smashed his face to the back of his skull in an instant, sending crimson and gray gore flying in every direction. The arrogant fool had no time to even register his mistake as he fell with his collapsed face looking like some sort of human shaped balloon that had been deflated.\n\nThe gryphoness spared a glance at her young mage as he began to slowly wink to his belly, a small grin at the back of his beak, \"I got him, I got that bastard. I hope that gets you guys through this, keeps you safe from him.\"\n\n\"You did good, Herlen, you stopped their mage. Rest now, we'll finish this fight,\" Agrok smiled partly to herself and partly to the mage who had gone through so much growth in only a single day which caused her to add the last word as a badge of honor, \"Your job is done, soldier.\"\n\nThe small taper winged male lay his head on his forepaws, \"Thank you ma'am, glad I could make a difference.\"\n\n\"Burke, by the Consorts I hope that was right, let's join the boys and finish this,\" the gryphoness hopped nimbly off the roof to help the shield man back down as the arrows had stopped coming.\n\n\"Do not fret, they are already breaking and starting to loose men into the woods. Those that have already run are finding the scouts and gryphons that have made it this far already. The day is won, it's just clean up now,\" Tensaih's voice caressed her mind with a tender, sweet tone.\n\nAgrok smiled unconsciously as she concentrated for the lovely dragoness to feel her thoughts, \"Thank you, sweetheart. I am so tired and sore right now, it is unbelievable.\"\n\n\"I'll tell you what, I'll ask Hakarah to watch Ronin so we can have a nice long soak in the hot springs together. I'll help you wash up and try my hand at massaging your muscles. Does that sound good,\" she knew the offer was half teasing and yet fully intended to be honored as Tensaih made it.\n\nAgrok was thankful that Burke was human and would not notice the subtle changes in her body heat or the locations as she blushed softly and her heart beat a touch faster, \"I have some loose ends to tie up before I am finished at home, but I think I would like that. Wait for me in the top tier.\"\n\nIt had been a long day of changes for her already, most of which had earned her the respect of some rather influential warriors as both a commander and a peer. Finishing the day the way she intended seemed like the best thing to do that evening. All she had to do was survive the final stretch of fighting and all she had to face was a broken and crumbling enemy. It had been a long day indeed, but now it was coming to a rapid close.\n\n\\* \\* \\\n\nRio slumped back in her chair, too exhausted to put forth a professional face even as the friends of her patient waited expectantly for news of his condition. She felt bad about her tired state, and not just because Agrok was among those awaiting news on the injured warrior by the name of Kisp. The fighting men and birds had all seen him take the horrid strike that had very nearly damaged him beyond her ability to repair. She knew her body language appeared as if she had little care about the poor lad, which was quite far from the truth. her news was grim and she had to deliver it while she was in such a state, which made her feel even more tired and drained as guilt sapped what little strength she had left.\n\nThe drake finally let out a long sigh and struggled to her feet, finding that the gathered soldiers were quick to aide her, \"Thank you, and I must apologize for the way I seem to be acting. There has just been so many wounded today that all of us healers are simply wiped clean of every ounce of energy we have.\"\n\n\"Ma'am, we were out there fighting, we know how tough it was and what we were sending back to you fine folks who have had a hell of a battle against death and injury yourselves. We understand more than any others how tired you must be,\" Terek spoke up before anyone had a chance to make any sort of comment.\n\nRio looked around at the haggard faces of the warriors around her and gave another heavy sigh, \"I wish I could tell you good things about Kisp, but all I have is that he is alive. His life is effectively over, I did all I could but there was just so much neurological damage that it was a stretch for me to restore his head and control of his diaphragm so he can breath. He will never fight, fly, or even walk again. Kisp will need a permanent caretaker just to continue existing from each day to the next until his eventual demise by old age or depression.\"\n\n\"I'll do it, Kisp was the closet thing I ever had to a friend, I can't thank him enough for that. It's only right that I repay that with taking care of him for as long as he wants to continue living,\" a young taper wing stepped forward with watery eyes.\n\nHe couldn't have been a year past reaching maturity for a gryphon and he did not wear the military insignia of those around him. Rio suspected that he was a mage that had been thrust into the mix at the last second for some specific task. The healer felt her heart break for the young lad as he stepped up to take care of his fallen friend. It was just too much, she had to do more somehow and that would require a request for research from her peers back on Skanshial.\n\nRio looked around at them all once more and rested a hand on the young mage's shoulder, \"I normally don't like to give slim chances of hope like this, but there is some experimental research going on with a device that fuses arcane and healing energies to make an exoskeleton that works like a sort of external nervous system. It's still being worked on, but I am confident that we can at least get something out of it if I work with Tensaih on the project to give Kisp some sort of life. But it is a bit of a long shot for me to even get the research materials I need to even begin working on it. It's an unlikely long shot, but it is at least some hope to hold on to.\"\n\n\"Thank you, it means a lot that you are trying to do this. But, can I stay with him so he is not alone tonight,\" the mage asked softly.\n\nRio nodded gently and looked to her nurses who were lurking just outside of attention range, sending them off with a simple look to gather bedding for the heart broken mage, \"Yes, I think that would be quite acceptable. I will arrange to have a meal brought to you as soon as my staff is available.\"\n\nThe mage simply nodded as his comrades all gave him pats and ruffles of his crest along with encouraging words. Agrok herself gave the lad a tight embrace as she whispered softly in his ear before she left without any further instructions to her men and birds.\n\nOne of the humans clapped the taper wing on the shoulder, \"I have some books that made it out when we made our initial retreat from the Legion. I can bring them by to help you pass the time while you wait.\"\n\n\"I learned to read, but I have never had a book to practice the art with, I would enjoy the privilege of doing so,\" the lad seemed to perk up ever so slightly at the gesture.\n\nA hawk based broadwing nodded to him before he left, \"You wont be shouldering all this alone, Herlen. We will all pitch in to take care of Kisp when we have time, you are our brothers and we wont abandon either of you.\"\n\n\"All of you go now, I know you have things you all need to do,\" Rio announced with a gentle tone, \"I can help Herlen settle in for the night, and I am certain your words of encouragement will sustain him through the night. I cannot have you reassuring him all night long, I have to get rest myself and my other patients need to rest and recover. Go and rest up so you can see them both in the morning.\"\n\nThe remaining men and birds all nodded and gave a collective, \"Yes Ma'am,\" before they filed out of the waiting portion of the healing structure.\n\nRio gave an inaudible sight o herself as she lead Herlen back to the patient's recovery wing. It was a heart wrenching scene, but she knew she would have to become jaded to such things as the war was only going to intensify on Eldarohnd. The Legion found a much tougher opponent than they had expected, and they would fight back just as hard. The drake knew that a great deal more would face such fates before the conflict was over, but that was the nature of warfare.\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nCarly felt a cold ball in the pit of her stomach as she followed along side the noble gryphoness to leave the dwelling she shared with Tahkra and Malehk. This was not how she envisioned a people who had been victorious in defending their homes. There was no celebration, no songs and praises of the glories of their heroes. The people of Titania that ran the armies and healed the wounded were quite tired and solemn in their mood. This was so very different than what she had always seen, the men back home had always been so pleased and excited over victory. The people always showered them with praise and admiration for their strength in battle. Now she was seeing the things that the people didn't seem to know about, what they kept from the children if they did know. War was not something glorious and exciting to behold, it was a terrible and painful experience for those who had to deal with it directly. The people of Titania had won the day, but only just. Many soldiers were injured and more than anyone would like were killed in the great battles of the day. Tahkra read over the numbers with visible pain in her heart before she asked her friend Hakarah to look after her and Ronin for the evening. Carly realized something she had never understood until that moment; Tahkra loved her land and her people, and she had sent them to die in defense of that land.\n\nThe gravity of such a decision had never even entered into the girl's imagination. She believed all the stories and the songs she had heard as she grew. They never talked about the pain and the guilt of a ruler who cared about their people when they had to send their soldiers off to war. The queen had been a solid pillar of iron for the people when she announced victory, not happy but not emotional either. They would never guess that she wept quietly the moment she was done issuing orders and was alone in her dwelling with Carly and Malehk. The young Bizshra to be learned a very important lesson; it was important to be the solid pillar of strength and confidence the people needed, but it was also important to be a mortal being with a heart and soul when one leads a nation.\n\n\"Hakarah? How come we have to stay with you tonight? Why can't I stay with momma and Tensaih,\" Ronin asked with a bit of a complaining tone that Carly found irritating, even if it came from her newest and only friend.\n\nThe noble female only smiled warmly to the two human girls as they walked along side her, \"Agrok has had a very long and stressful battle today and needs to rest before she can look into making sure you are well cared for. She has also seen things today that will shake her heart and mind, no matter how strong and tough she is.\"\n\n\"How come Tensaih gets to stay with her,\" Ronin gave a little pout as she protested the situation, \"Tensaih could have watched me while momma rested and healed up.\"\n\nCarly shook her head gently, \"Tensaih lives with you, there would be no where for you two to go. Besides, I think Tensaih might be Agrok's safe person.\"\n\n\"Safe person,\" Ronin asked with a sudden change in expression as her curiosity took control of her emotional state.\n\nThe young Bizshra in training struggled to find the words to explain her conclusion to her friend who had not had the time to observe the things she had, \"It's kind of like that favorite toy or blanket you want to hold close when you are scared. When people that others look up to like Tahkra or Agrok are scared or shaken by what they see, they have to be strong when everyone else sees them. When they get to be alone, they need some one who is like that favorite toy or blanket to help them feel safe and stay strong so they can do their job.\"\n\n\"That is quite the observation, young lady. You seem to be learning rather quickly, that bodes well for your people,\" Hakarah smiled warmly at her, almost motherly in her expression.\n\nCarly was surprised by the praise for her words, \"T-thank you, but how did you know why I was here?\"\n\n\"You should have observed that Tahkra and I have become quite good friends since we met during that time of uniting the tribes. Now that my tribe is not dying out and Rastak runs our province, I have time to speak with our young queen who was thrust into her position, much like I was,\" the pregnant gryphoness replied gently.\n\nThe girl looked down at the gown she was wearing in place of her armor, \"I should have noticed, I guess I got distracted by everything else I was trying to learn. I have to learn so much in so little time.\"\n\n\"Carly, Tahkra and I understand your position far better than you think. We're here for you sweetheart,\" Hakarah leaned her head down to give Carly's cheek a soft nuzzle, \"We all have a whole lot to learn, and we would do best if we were to stick together.\"\n\nCarly released the royal blue fabric and smiled up at the female of noble rank, \"I think I would like that a whole lot. Things are already getting a little frightening to face.\"\n\n\"What about me,\" Ronin cut back into the conversation, \"I'm your friend and I want to help too, you have a big pile of stuff to learn and I want to help you do it.\"\n\nHakarah gave a soft chuckle at the energetic red head, \"Well of course you will be helping, every ruler needs a good friend they can trust who has no political ties to influence them. You will also teach Carly how to have fun and just enjoy life in it's more simple pleasantries.\"\n\nRonin seemed pleased with that response and continued to skip along with her friend and the elder gryphoness. Carly found herself sinking quietly into deep thought, something she had never done before she discovered her lineage and her destiny upon the throne of Grasolahn. The people in charge of Titania seemed to be the exact opposite of what she was used to seeing in people of power. These people barely knew her, and yet they cared so much for her already. Was this caring nature what her father wanted her to learn the most, and could it be the key to the true core of her people surviving the darker future ahead under her rule? Only time would tell; for now her immediate future was to attend a sleep over with her younger friend and a very kind gryphoness.\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nHot water surrounded Agrok's sore body, flooding the spaces between her feathers as the water proofing oils began to break down under the heat. All the soreness and stiffness of her joins and muscles began to melt away as well, allowing the weary gryphoness to finally relax after her long hard battle. A gentle chime and ripple of the waters told her that Tensaih had arrived and joined her in the hot pool of water. Agrok's heart began to pound in her chest, for she knew what she wanted to do and just why she had chosen the top most pool of the hot springs.\n\n\"I hope you are not sleeping here in the waters, it is a very dangerous habit and I would have to scold you for it,\" Tensaih called out softly as she waded over to the weary warrior.\n\nAgrok smiled and opened her eyes slowly to look at her lovely companion, \"Now don't promise to punish me if you aren't going to follow through.\"\n\n\"No teasing now, you know it's not fair,\" Tensaih scolded as she slipped up along side the gryphoness, \"Now where are you the most sore hun?\"\n\nAgrok rested her chin on the side of the pool, \"My shoulders and back mostly, I did a lot of shoving and slashing out there today, and that does not count the leaping and darting back and forth.\"\n\n\"Poor thing, running yourself ragged to deal with the scum of the multiverse,\" the dragoness cooed softly as she began to rub at the stiff muscles in her companion's shoulders.\n\nThe gryphoness sighed as those magic fingers worked out the tension and soothed her muscles, \"I'm more concerned about the bird that failed to follow my orders and lost his ability to ever walk or fly again today. I know it wasn't my fault, but I can't shake this feeling of responsibility for what happened. I was in command at the time and he was under my control up until the moment he stepped to his own impatience.\"\n\n\"It sounds like he was not in your command in the moment he was injured hun, you can't be held responsible for others mistakes. If that was your only loss, you did a fine job as a commander,\" Tensaih whispered softly in her ear, making her words feel just as soothing as her caressing hands felt to her muscles.\n\n\"Hmm.. I know, but I still feel bad for him. I just feel like there should have been more I could or can do. My heart just wont let me ignore it and move on. I just.. care to much,\" Agrok let out a long slow sigh as she couldn't help but lean into the warm, smooth scales of her companion.\n\nTensaih shifted and wrapped her arms around her to hold her close, \"Well, that is a good thing, it means you have a heart and I like that about you. Just like you would be completely understanding if I had overstepped my bounds as a guest in your home and invited a young mage to come stay with us so I can teach her and undo the damage of her abusive grandmother.\"\n\n\"Tensaih, if you really did that, it's fine by me,\" Agrok took a deep breath as she prepared to take a most bold plunge into her heart, \"I trust your judgment with who you bring into our home, it is your home too. You are only a small step from being my mate, what is mine is as good as yours and I know you would never let anyone close if you felt they could hurt Ronin.\"\n\nThe dragoness stared at her in a bit of shock, \"Agrok, you mean.. you feel that way,\" she turned her head away as she closed her eyes, \"That step is not a small one hun, and once you take it, you can never take it back.\"\n\n\"You treat me well, you respect my feelings and protect my heart before you seek your own desires, you love and care for Ronin and you get along well with my family. What better match could I ask for,\" Agrok asked as she shifted to rest belly to belly with the dragoness, straddling her as she raised herself to look down into her eyes, \"I don't care that you are female, I love the person in this body and I can't stand to ignore it any longer. I almost died out there, if Terek had not shown up when he did, I would have fallen to a vicious team of warriors. I could never face eternity if I never told you how I felt because I was afraid of everyone else. Tensaih, I need to be true to myself, and to you. Please, take me in your wing and take me over that step. I want to be on the other side with you.\"\n\nThe mage stared up at her, sapphire eyes darting back and forth from her own eyes and to drink in the revealed form of her body as the wet feathers no longer hid her true frame, \"Are you sure of this Agrok? I would much rather be a friend for life than have you regret this and not be able to be around me any longer.\"\n\n\"I am more sure of this than anything else in my life. I am going to try to make love to you, but I am uncertain of what to do. So I am quite sure this would be more pleasant if you stop making excuses to back away from your fears surrounding it and just teach me how this goes between females,\" the gryphoness did not give her lover a chance to protest by locking her beak with the dragon's muzzle so that her tongue could invade and draw her into a passionate kiss.\n\nTensaih did not resist her pull and simply dived eagerly into the kiss as they began to stroke and caress over one another's bodies. The dragoness pulled Agrok tight to her as their tongues danced and embraced one another in an ever stroking and coiling knot of passion and desire. Once more Tensaih's hands slowly stroked and caressed their way down along her form while she wrapped her forelimb's around the dragon's neck. They were coming so very close to that line like they had in their previous embrace in their nest. Agrok's heart pounded with both anticipation and fear for what it would mean to take a female as her mate. The dragoness' hands reached her thighs and caressed for a moment right at the edge of the line, teetering right at the edge. That was the last moment that Agrok could have stopped her, but she wouldn't do that this time. She needed it to happen, she needed the beautiful dragoness beneath her to be hers and to have her in return. The gryphon broke from the kiss and leaned her head back in a delighted gasp as Tensaih finally moved her hands and took her over that line into her world with such wondrous sensations of love and pleasure. Things would never be the same for them, in some ways they would be harder, but Agrok knew that over all things would be so much better for her and the dragoness as they embraced as true lovers.\n\n\\ \\* \\*\n\nThe air as nice and cool as the sun gave off it's last orange and crimson light over the horizon. Grenz felt relaxed as he walked with Jirri down the trail to the hot springs for his nightly soak for his joint injuries. The broadwing felt a bit of the mood that nature was setting, giving his mate a glance and a smile.\n\n\"What was that about,\" she smiled back at him while pressing close to his side.\n\nGrenz leaned his head over to rub his cheek against his mate's cheek, \"Nothing, just appreciating the gorgeous female who so graciously accepted me as her mate. I wish I knew what felt so incomplete to hold me back from giving you everything I can.\"\n\n\"Do not fret love, I am quite content to have you at my side to share the warmth of your heart for the time being,\" Jirri purred softly as they slowly ground down the distance to the springs.\n\nHe grinned playfully at her, \"Well, if you don't want to make use of me, I suppose I better look into whether or not there are 'personal aides' for gryphons.\"\n\n\"Oh I want it, I fully intend to drink deep of your passionate skills,\" the priestess had an odd sparkle in her eye, \"So deeply that you will need to return to Rio to heal your injuries when I cannot use you any longer, then I will finish when your body is repaired.\"\n\nGrenz blinked at his normally quiet and well mannered mate, \"I don't think it would be possible to love you more than I do right now. I am also finding that mysterious emotional block weakening under such a glorious offer.\"\n\n\"Did you hear that,\" Jirri's ears perked up as she looked off toward the brush and trees that held the hot springs within.\n\nThe big male tilted his head at her and gave a grin that slowly faded as he seen her posture, \"I would say I most certainly heard your offer, but I am sensing that it is another sound that you are referring to.\"\n\nThey both stood in silence and listened close for a long moment to try and catch the sound over the soft rustle of the trees in the soft breeze. It came once more and this time Grenz heard it as well, the unmistakable sound of a soft moan. He recognized the voice as well as the pitch and tone from personal experience. It was definitely Agrok's voice, and he had no doubt that she was in the midst of an amorous encounter. Grenz couldn't figure out who she would have had an interest in to take to the top spring, he had seen no signs of interest toward any one. The only person he knew that she had even spent any real time with was Tensaih. The thought was odd to him, but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. The whole notion was strange to him, but he still felt a massive bubble of joy welling up in his heart as it settled in his mind. Tensaih was a very nice and very lovely lady, who would take wonderful care of Agrok.\n\n\"I figured out what it was holding me back and I feel terrible about it,\" Grenz finally broke the silence between Jirri and himself.\n\nHis mate tilted her head a bit, \"Why do you feel bad about it, love?\"\n\n\"I needed to know Agrok had some one and that she was happy. You see, I used to take care of her needs before she met Altair, but that fell through about the time we met. I feel terrible that I have made my mate wait while I ensured another female was settled in with a mate in case I needed to take care of her,\" he laid his ears tight against his head as he lowered that same head below that of his mate.\n\nJirri reached a gentle forepaw beneath his beak and raised his head into a gentle kiss, \"You loved her as much as one can love some one who they cannot have as a mate, she is family to you and you wanted to keep her safe. Why on earth would I be upset about that? It is that very same loving heart that has brought me to settle in and take to your side as your mate. If you were not such a warm soul, you never would have caught my eye.\"\n\n\"You just keep growing more beautiful by every passing day, I really don't deserve such an angel,\" Grenz smiled at the elder priestess who was most definitely aging quite well, \"I do hope you plan to follow through with your offer, since I can't enjoy a good soak right now.\"\n\nJirri wrapped her forelimbs around his neck and pressed against his chest with a rather seductive look on her face, \"I love you, and I am patient enough to wait as long as I need, but if that wait is over, this is quite over due.\"\n\n\"Grenz! Grenz, where is Agrok,\" a new voice shattered the moment with a very loud and agitated tone.\n\nThe injured male turned an angry gaze upon the intruding male, \"She is up in the springs with Tensaih. What do you need Altair?\"\n\nAltair stormed up to the couple with anger burning clearly in his eyes, \"Good, she has it coming too.\"\n\nGrenz stepped quickly to cut the smaller male off and made a barrier of his own body, \"You are not going up there. Now if you have a complaint about Agrok you can leave it with me and go home or take it up with Lieutenant Asreigh or General Tarse.\"\n\n\"Get out of the way Grenz,\" Altair growled while Jirri backed away nervously, \"Tensaih roughed up my mate, and I WILL have retribution.\"\n\nGrenz held the scout with a hard stare as if he were cowing a stubborn recruit, \"You cheated on Agrok with and left her for that so called mate of yours, of course no one is going to be friendly with her. But I've read the reports, your mate started the altercation that Tensaih finished. I will tell you again, you can have Agrok kick your stupid ass all over the plains tomorrow but you are not going up there tonight.\"\n\nAltair gave an angry growl as he charged the larger male, attempting to rake his talons through his throat. Grenz was still quick enough to deflect the talons, even with his injuries. He gave a heavy shove and sent the scout tumbling back to catch his footing once more. Altair lunged again, this time he made a feint to draw Grenz out and struck at his wing joint to sick his talons in deep. Grenz gave a mighty swing of his foreclaw, managing to remember to spare his foe by closing his foreclaw. The heavy strike smashed into the scout's chest with a frightening amount of force and shifted the center of his chest to the right of his body. The commander's eyes flew wide open as he realized what he had just done and gave another merciful blow to his opponent's skull before the pain could strike him. Both males sank to the ground as Jirri rushed to the heap.\n\n\"Jirri, get a healer quickly. I just broke his keel,\" Grenz gasped against the pain in his wing joint.\n\nA broken keel bone was a very serious injury that could lead to death by virtue of bone shards getting into the heart and lungs, and Jirri knew this. Without a single protest, she took to the air and made a hard flight toward the healer's compound. As he watched her go, Grenz could only wonder what consequences the altercation would have for both him and Altiar." } ]

As soon as that thought entered my mind, however, a frown creased my face, as I pondered what was still to come. 'The aftermath...' I thought, my frown turning into a grimace, 'and it's always far worse than the battle that preceded it...' As it turned out, my fears were correct: our victory was a pyrrhic one; the thípi village of Clan Tawkami lay in ruin, many of our finest warriors and beloved animal friends had been either critically wounded or killed, and even some of the modern buildings of the Homestead had been damaged, despite the protection afforded to them by their powerful psionic energy shields.\n\nEven worse, during the chaos and confusion of battle - despite the evacuations which had successfully taken place - several of my Clan's females had been dragged underground by 'They who could not see', including Lompor's mate, Maena, and my beloved friend, Txe'lan, whom had ventured outside to help with said evacuations! All was not lost, however; many of my people yet lived, and so did many more of our beloved animals, including the 'core' of the menagerie. Immediately following the battle, the Dragon Weyr redeployed its army of Probes, whom swiftly began shifting the wounded through Warp Gates to the Clinic. There, the Clan's healers - whom were much disgruntled, as the Dragon Weyr had actually sealed them in there, rather than allowing them to fight - immediately began to assist the Autodoc with their treatment.\n\nThis served to buoy the spirits of my people, but the Na'vi of Clan Tawkami were even more heartened when - after the wounded had been dealt with - the powerful little Probes of the Dragon Weyr swiftly began to repair and set to right not only their thípi village, but also any of their possessions that had been smashed or lost and any parts of the Homestead that had been damaged during the battle. The actions of the army of Probes were met with suspicion, however, when they first analyzed - and then sent back through Warp Gates to the great Nexus - the clearly dead bodies of nearly all our fallen warriors and animal friends! This did not sit well with Tsa'hik San'eya, at all; in fact she was utterly incensed at the Dragon Weyr's actions!\n\n\"For what reason has Txra'kon We'er not allowed the Great Mother to take them? Why has it done this blasphemous thing?\"\\_she said, her teeth bared in a snarl as she paced in front of me, whilst I sat before her on the Great Fleece Pile, roughly four nights after the battle. \\_\"They should be allowed to rest with Eywa!\" Rising to stand before her, I raised my hands in a placating gesture as I softly intoned, \"Lu Mawey, ma tsmuken, lu mawey. I am sure that Txra'kon We'er has a reason for its actions...\" I was merely stalling, however, because, truthfully, I was wondering at its actions myself. Why had the Dragon Weyr commanded its Probes to retrieve the majority of our dead, and left only those whom were too \"damaged\" to be taken by Eywa?\n\nIn curiosity, I sent a query to the mighty fortress via our psychic bond... but, to my surprise and chagrin, I was rebuffed as a feeling of dismissal filled my thoughts; something that usually only happened when the great Nexus was extremely busy. Clearly, it was. 'But what is it doing that could be so important?' I wondered. Oh, how I wished my beloved friend, Txe'lan, were here at this moment, for she had a way with the Dragon Weyr that I did not possess, and she could have, perhaps, persuaded the überfortress to reveal to me whatever it was that kept it so occupied. But, alas, she was not here, and so, I had to search elsewhere for an explanation. Said explanation came to me roughly several days later when the little girl, Sìlpey - Daughter of Tìrol and Taw - came tearing into the Weyrheart and stopped before us, panting, and out of breath!\n\nAfter taking a moment to get her breath back, little Sìlpey bowed respectfully before San'eya and I and then, she began speaking so fast that we could barely keep up with her! What she told us was utterly incredible. After roaming through the deeper parts of the Dragon Weyr to explore, simply because she was bored and looking for something to do, the canny little girl had somehow ended up in Txe'lan's sanctum, deep within the great construct's crystalline Computer Core. \"I felt like I had journeyed to a Na'rìng Aymokriyä,\" she said excitedly. \"It was so beautiful! I... I made Tsaheylu with Txra'kon We'er there, and he asked me how I was. I told him I was fine... and then - he told me to tell you that... that he is sorry for being so quiet...\" She lapsed into silence then, and gazed at the floor, shuffling her feet in nervousness. \"And why is he being so quiet, ma Olo' 'Ite,\" I prodded, gently.\n\nFor a moment, Sìlpey did not reply; she just remained there silently, her head lowered. Then, finally, she raised her head to gaze at us with a mixture of awe and wonder, as she answered, \"He told me that he took all our dead animals and people to his nawm fngap toktor. Txra'kon We'er said... he said that, if they were not too badly hurt, he could use the fngap toktor to return them to life!\" In that instant, an epiphany struck me as I cottoned on to what she was talking about. 'Of course!' I thought, my own excitement rising. 'A Code White Resuscitation! I completely forgot about that. In simple terms - as long as the brain isn't damaged and the body is relatively intact - the Autodoc is able to revive and restore a person to health, roughly seventy three hours beyond what is considered to be death!'\n\nSensing my rising excitement, Tsa'hik San'eya leaned towards me, her golden-eyed gaze hawk-like. \"What is it, ma Olo'eyktan?\" she asked. Although I wasn't as good as Txe'lan when it came to explaining things such as this to the Na'vi - in a voice thick with the unbridled excitement I was feeling - I did my best to explain to the Tsa'hik of Eywa the incredible miracle that the Dragon Weyr was working, even as we spoke. San'eya, however, did not react well to what I had to say; on the contrary, her golden eyes widened as the expression on her face twisted into one of mixed incredulity and horror. As I looked on, she staggered away from me and then - clutching her hair with her hands - she began to hyperventilate! \"B-But... but... Eywa!\" she said as she struggled to breathe.\n\n\"Txra'kon We'er... They ... should... be... with... Eywa!\" My excitement swiftly becoming great alarm, I moved towards the Tsa'hik to attempt to reason with her and calm her down but even as she gasped for breath, her strength was still great; she viciously shoved me away and I fell to the floor, the impact stealing the breath from my lungs! \"You... blasphemer!\" she snarled, regaining a semblance of control. \"How dare* you allow Txra'kon We'er to take them! Those Children of Eywa - both animal and Na'vi - who fought and died, did so with honor ; they deserve to be at peace with Eywa! What you speak of... What you allow Txra'kon We'er to do... This 'revival of the dead'... It is not natural!\"* Still struggling to return air to my lungs, as I laid there on the Great Fleece Pile I could do nothing to quell San'eya's rage or even defend myself, as she swiftly stalked towards me, intent on striking me again.\n\nFortunately, however, I did not need to do anything. As she saw Tsa'hik San'eya drawing close to me with fist raised to strike, Sìlpey - who had merely been observing everything up until this point - screamed out, \"Do not* hurt our Olo'eyktan!\"* and then barreled into the enraged Tsa'hik, knocking her to the Weyrheart's carpeted floor! As the Tsa'hik lay there, stunned by what had just occurred, Sìlpey stood before me in a protective stance and began to berate the incapacitated Elder! \"You stupid, stupid* skxawng!\"* she snapped. \"What is 'not natural' is that the Warriors and animal friends of our Clan that died did so when they were not ready* to die! Tell me, Tsa'hik\"* she continued, spitting the title as though it were a curse, \"if they who fell should be with Eywa... then why did the Great Mother not immediately embrace them when they fell?\"\n\nHaving regained my breath, as I gingerly sat up, I stared at Sìlpey in wonder. 'Holy shit,' I thought to myself, in private realization, 'she's right! During the entire course of that battle, not once did I see Eywa's vines embrace any of the Clan's warriors, at all! She sure did a good job at 'removing' the corpses of the enemy, though!' Banishing the thought, I returned my attention to Sìlpey as she continued to speak to San'eya. \"Why - instead of claiming them - did she allow the Px'ro'pxs of Txra'kon We'er to take them?\" When the Tsa'hik did not answer - because she couldn't answer - Sìlpey answered the question herself. \"Because\" she answered, \"Eywa knew that they were not yet ready* to join with her!\n\nEywa knew this - for the Great Mother knows all - and that is why she allowed Txra'kon We'er to take them! You are a stupid skxawng for hurting Olo'eyktan Txa'vit, and for not Seeing Sa'nok Eywa... or Sempul Txra'kon We'er! You are just like Ema'zu!\"\\_As that final word left little Sìlpey's mouth, furious with rage, \\_Tsa'hik* San'eya struggled to her feet - perhaps to berate the 'impudent' child for her brazen audacity - but as she stood, suddenly, she doubled over in pain, clutching at the center of her chest! That, dear readers, was when everything just stopped as the Dragon Weyr - upon detecting this symptom of impending heart attack - immediately shifted Tsa'hik San'eya to the Clinic." } ]

With any luck they'll be able to massage that stick out, but I wouldn't hold out hope.\"\n\nExilo gave a low growl, tail moving in a sign of displeasure.\n\n\"Oh don't be such a puppy. Honestly. It's just a massage parlor. It's nice. I like to go every so often to treat myself good. I'll fix you up with someone nice, I promise. I know all them.\"\n\nExilo growled again, but said nothing.\n\nPae was walking a bit ahead of him. Though he could, rather easily, over take her, he let her stroll along. She looked back at him, her tail rising and the very tip tracing down his chest. \"Trust me, you'll love it.\"\n\n\"Trust...and Pae? Two words that go together like...hot coals and testicles.\"\n\n\"Oh come on.\" She fell back and took his hand gently, before pulling him so he would walk a bit faster.\n\nThe massage parlor was a two story building in the heart of town. It was huge, though most of its size due to the fact that it stretched backwards a fairway. There was a strong, clean smell of mint and beeswax inside, as well as an assortment of perfumes. The lights were dimmed, instead almost all the light in the lobby came from the dozens upon dozens of candles that lined the room. He shook his head.\n\n\"Hello Pae,\" the hostess said. \"Glad to have you back. The usual?\"\n\nThe she wolf smiled. \"The usual.\"\n\n\"And for your friend?\" the hostess asked, looking to Exilo. \"He looks tense.\"\n\nPae walked around the larger wolf and when at his blind side, gave his tail a slap with an open palm that made him jump. \"He needs the works. Someone special.\"\n\nThe hostess gave a wide grin and a cute little twitch of the nose. \"I see.\"\n\nPae must have known where to go, because without another word she walked out of the lobby and down the dim hallway. That too was barely lit with more than a row of candles. But for Exilo, the hostess, a short, slightly chubby rabbit with nice hips and wearing a kimono, called someone out of the back. Out of a different hallway than Pae took, a very slender coyote came walking in. She was tall, nearly Exilo's height, but so sleek and slender. Long, long legs were perfectly toned and stretched up to meet between the sweet oblivion of that special area. Above that, a perfect stomach, toned and with just enough muscle showing through the soft, tawny fur. Her chest may have been a bit small, in the sense she wasn't huge and buxom, but on her they were perfect. Perfect little spheres. And there (relatively) small size only made her seem all the more slight. He spent a while on her body, then moved up to her face. Her green eyes; the lips that curled up in a kind, shy smile and showed off the pearly white canine fangs, perfectly straight and just the right size; her cute squeezable little ears; her nuzzly nose.\n\nShe didn't wear much. She had what was probably best described as a thong, but on her chest, barely had anything. Only a strap of cloth, curled around her breasts and covering the nipple. Well, not quite. He could see the top and bottom edge.\n\nHe had to admit, if she was the one to take care of him, this wouldn't be too bad.\n\nThe coyote gave that innocent smile again, gently turning her head and heading down the hallway that she had come from. \"You follow her, sir,\" the hostess said. Exilo shook his head, and walked after, eyes barely able to avert from her gorgeous back side. That her tail kept wagging back and forth was a bit annoying, it kept obscuring his view.\n\n\"I'm Exilo,\" he said, and cleared his throat incase that didn't get her attention.\n\n\"Thalassa,\" the coyote said, just looking over her shoulder at him long enough for the words to leave her muzzle.\n\nThe parlor was quite deep, he kept passing rooms, and was growing impatient from all the waiting. Anyone seemed perfectly fine. She led him into a room with only a bed and several candles. A regular mattress, not the type usually seen, which he found odd for a moment. The smell of burning oxygen was starting to give him a headache, and the low dim of the candles didn't help matters. \"So I lay down or what?\"\n\n\"First you take your clothes off sir,\" she said, before stepping out of the room. He frowned, a bit sad to see her go, but he assumed she would be back soon enough. If not, maybe someone even better. He started with his vest, and folded it neatly, before setting several candles aside to clear a spot on the table for it. Then his T-shirt, and finally his jeans. He was unsure about his briefs. If this wasn't what he thought it was, it would be very embarrassing. He decided briefs on for now, he could always take them off later.\n\nHe sat down on the bed, a bit nervous. His tail lay dormant behind him, occasionally thumping the bed but mostly he kept himself under control. But he was excited. Butterflies in his belly, burning in his groin. Every muscle was tense and ready.\n\nWhen the door opened, he was full of expectation, imaging what new outfit the coyote had changed in to. Or if some other concubine had come to give him a massage. That expectation turned to horror as a very tall, very scaly lizard came walking into the room, bending his head as he stepped through the doorway and then rising to his full straight height. Maybe two or three inches taller than Exilo, but that there was someone taller at all he didn't like. The lizard had a white underbelly, white scales stretching from under his jaw, down his chest and to between the inside of his legs. On his back where burnt orange scales. Around his nose and eyes were small spikes, though Exilo couldn't tell if they were an artificial aesthetic, like Pae's piercings, or natural. \"On your belly,\" he said\n\n\"What?\" Exilo said quickly.\n\n\"On your belly. You want the works, right?\"\n\nExilo stared a bit dumbly at him. \"No, this is a mistake. What happened to the coyote?\"\n\n\"Thalassa? She just shows the guests to their room. Don't worry big guy, you're in good claws.\" He smiled wide with cracked lips, showing his palms to the wolf. Exilo growled at the thought of Pae, and the good laugh she would be having right about now, as he rolled over and lay down flat, folding his arms under his chin.\n\nExilo tried to breathe steady as the lizard's hands moved up his shoulders, the thumbs just going under the blades and pushing in, massaging tenderly. He shivered and tensed a moment, unsure about the feeling, but then relaxed, muscle by muscle. It felt rather nice. \"The name is Izak by the way,\" the lizard said.\n\n\"Exilo,\" he murmured.\n\n\"Exilo? That's an odd name. I'm going to call you Exi.\"\n\n\"Of course you are,\" Exilo said. He tensed, arching is back and pushing up, nearly howling as the claws on the thumb dug under his fur and touched just the right spot. Izak seemed to know what to do, and placed a very gentle for claw on Exilo's nape, easing him back into the pillow. Exilo rested his head and drooled slightly. He shifted around, trying to get more comfortable, and finally lay still. \"That...does feel good, I must say.\"\n\nIzak chuckled. Using his thumbs and index fingers, keeping the claw sheathed, he very carefully massaged Exilo's neck, then traced a nail down the spine and to the base of his hips, then back up. His fingers went their separate ways, going down the respective shoulders. His index fingers curled around, under his arms and ribs, holding him nicely. Then back to rubbing with his thumbs.\n\nHis left claw went on rubbing the shoulder and neck very carefully, while his right's index claw traced Exilo's spine through the thick fur. This time, he didn't stop at the hips. Upon reaching the elastic waist band of the wolf's underwear, a finger slipped inside and carefully tugged the pants down. Exilo felt it, and stifled a confused growl. He would have protested, but Izak had such a gentle grip on his neck, just the right pressure points, he couldn't remember how to move, and simply continued drooling. The claw playing with the briefs, the elastic band hooked under Exilo's flanks, exposing the soft furry rump. His claw traced through the thick fur, and finally moved to the underside of his tail, then over the tended skin.\n\n\"What are you...\"\n\nWords were cut short as the claw suddenly jabbed into his vent, sinking into the warm, tender flesh. He choked on a howl, instead burying his face in the mattress. \"You did order the works, didn't you?\" Izak asked slyly.\n\nExilo grumbled and shivered lowly, and moaned sadly when the finger pulled out. He tried to get up, but the grip on his neck kept him as mush. Again, the finger traced around the base of his tail, reaching the underside, then followed the path down between the flanks. His other hand worked expertly, rubbing the spine, claws occasionally poking out and working through the fur.\n\nThe pressure left Exilo's rump, and the grip on his neck gently rolled him over onto his back. Exilo growled, gritting his teeth and looked to the lizard, as the lizard very slowly pulled out of his clothes. He was bare chest to begin with, but had worn a set of leather chaps up till now. Then came off the gloves. Palm gloves, the fingers cut off so those devious claws could do their work. For what little clothing, it seemed to take an eternity.\n\nExilo chewed on his lip. That massage had done more for him that he would like to admit. He could feel his heat slowly pushing out from between his legs, he groped nervously for a blanket to try and cover it. The lizard was certainly attractive, that wasn't a problem, but he wasn't even sure that Izak was his real name.\n\nThe lizard was big, in all parts of his anatomy. The quivering pink jutted out from the white underbelly like a crane. Exilo's own heat poked the fabric barrier of his briefs and ached for relief from the prison. Izak must have sensed that, and reached down again, his long fingers taking hold of the briefs at either hip. With a tender tug, he pulled them down. Exilo lifted slightly off the bed, and let his briefs be pulled down to his knees. Lifting his legs, the briefs were removed fully, and Izak dropped them with his own clothes in a messy pile on the floor.\n\nIzak crawled onto the bed and settled between Exilo's legs, using his thick, strong arms for support. Slowly, he bent his head. Exilo closed his eyes. His heat seemed to be taking its sweet ass time to come out, but when Izak exhaled through his nosed and tickled the skin, it shot out the rest of the way. Izak pulled his head back on his long neck, steadily breathing on the quivering flesh, and then he gently flicked out his tongue and tasted the very tip.\n\nAgain, Exilo choked on a howl. He gritted his teeth, poking holes in the matress. How he hated teasing. He was burning and aching, and Izak seemed content to simply drag his tongue over only the tip. He arched and made low whines, eyes wet. Finally, with a growl, he reached forward and took Izak's head around the sides. His grip strong, he slowly pushed Izak towards his heat, then thrust. His penis broke through the loosely closed muzzle and into the warm mouth, the scaly lips brushing against his tender flesh and giving a pleasure that was indescribable. By some grace of god, he didn't cut himself on the lizard's sharp teeth, only the gentle scratches of the lips.\n\nIzak recognized the burning need, but wasn't quite ready to give it his all just yet. Gently, he brought his hands up to fondle Exilo's testicles. His tongue worked very carefully. It wrapped around Exilo's heat, curling and rubbing the full length. Still curled, the very tip of his tongue moved up and brushed Exilo's tip, tasting the first spurts of his excitement.\n\nExilo started to hump. Still holding Izak's head, he thrust in and out, holding and grinding into his mouth. In and out, in and out. Slow at first, but quickly gaining momentum, striving to move deeper. Again, Izak seemed to take the sign, and adjusted his position. His tongue retracted and instead just worked the bottom of the shaft, or licked at the furry balls, tensing and massaging them. His teeth very carefully dragged on the top, sending stout shivers up and down Exilo's spine and causing the wolf to lose his grip. Izak pushed up and then slowly worked to swallow the entire shaft, which wasn't hard, given his size. Exilo panted and closed his eyes, tears swelling, as he felt his penis move deeper and deeper into the warm cavern.\n\nHe finally got out that howl. Long and loud and filling. Powerful and deep. He spent his lungs, took a breath, and howled again. Preparing for his third, his erection felt ready to burst, and with one last thrust into Izak's mouth, he finally felt a gentle massaging spurt. It was like fire draining out of him. Burning passion draining out of him. The fire in his belly started to wane. Oh to hold this moment forever. The warm taste. And just like that it was over. Exilo lay back, completely spent, tongue dangling out of his mouth and panting.\n\nIzak swallowed the wolf's emission with a smile and a suck. Pulling up, he crawled up higher and hovered just a bit on top of Exilo. His long muzzle moved to the canine's and pressed. His tongue slipped out and rubbed against Exilo's lips before sliding inside. Exilo lifted his arms and wrapped around Izak's body gently, holding him close and pressing himself deeper, holding it, groaning and grumbling in an overwhelming bliss. The release of the pressure, and now the taste, rubbing his tongue against Izak's teeth and cheeks. He lost himself like that, at least until he felt a poking on his thigh. He was confused a moment, and pulled back, only to see Izak's still throbbing and desperate erection protruding out in the open.\n\nIzak sighed. \"I hope you enjoyed yourself. Tell your friends about us.\" He pushed up to leave, but Exilo kept his arms wrapped around him.\n\n\"On your back,\" he whispered.\n\n\"Sir, that's not how it goes.\"\n\n\"Why not?\"\n\n\"Because, you're the one paying for the service, sir.\"\n\n\"Well I don't think I'm done yet.\"\n\n\"But sir.\"\n\n\"The customer is always right.\"\n\nIzak was visibly nervous and hesitant, odd considering he had swallowed a perfect stranger, but he did indeed sit down on the bed. Exilo slide into his lap, before pushing him back, reversing their positions.\n\nExilo wasn't one for foreplay or to tease. The most he did was give the pink erection a little sniff, as if momentarily unsure of what to do. Then, gently, he gave it a little kiss. That certainly silenced any of Izak's resistance, but not his sounds, as he gave a low growl and snarl, then lay breathless on the bed. Exilo had long deduced this was Pae's idea of a joke. The joke was on her, he supposed, as he nuzzled the very tip, and gave it a long lick up the shaft's underside. Reaching the tip, he gathered it up into his jaws and started the licks and soft nuzzles. He breathed heavy, gradually swallowing, and huffing into Izak's groin.\n\n\"Sir...you really...\" Izak groaned, tilting back and shuddering.\n\nThe taste was what Exilo never got over. A taste that could not easily be put into words. A taste of pleasure. Not sweet, or creamy, or something that was pleasurable to taste. His tongue explored, wrapping around the hot organ and curling, or the tip retracted and explored. The taste, he loved the taste.\n\nThen the taste changed to something more salty. Again, it was pleasure, but somehow different. Pleasure, but salty. It didn't matter. He was enjoying this just as much as Izak.\n\nExilo pulled off. He crawled up, and then slowly backed away, offering his tail hole to Izak, who thrust suddenly up between the furry flanks he had spent so long prior massaging. Exilo yapped at the sudden bulk pounding him. The warm thickness sliding in. He pushed down fully and felt it, as his own erection started to grow. He groped a paw for it, finding his heat and starting to stroke. Still slick with the lizard's spit, even his rough paw could move so well with proper lubrication. This must have been how Pae felt the first time. That painful pounding that wouldn't stop. Maybe this was her plan all along. But he could take it. He braced himself with each thrust, groaning loudly, his hand working feverishly, until he suddenly shot warm cream. It splashed in a beautiful arc, finally hitting Izak's muzzle.\n\nA moment later, the pain became stronger than the pleasure. Izak's throbbing erection seemed to grow bigger with each spurt of warm cream that oozed inside him. He panted, closing his eyes and bracing himself, taking it all. Like weathering a storm, it slowly stopped, and he took some pleasure in the warm bulk that was between his legs. Even when he stood and slide off the heat, the warm cream stayed with him and made him shiver and moan.\n\n\"Did you have a good time?\" Pae asked, when Exilo finally came back into the lobby some time later.\n\n\"As a matter a fact...\"" } ]

And fyi, I think it is VERY underated in terms of how often it's been done. Not to mention I'm a big aquaphile. I'm not sure what you'll think, but I'll leave you to be the judge.\n\nMHuman x FDewgong\n\nIt was a warm, breezy morning at Undella Bay in Eastern Unova. The waters were bright and sparkling, making them inviting for most of the residents of the nearby Undella Town. The beaches were lined up with families, tourists, and locals alike. There were many typical activties also occuring that one would expect, including swimming, sun bathing, and even a few daring surfers trying to catch a wave.\n\nHowever, there were also a few of those who were out on the waters themselves. While most of these few were either fishing or partying, there was one craft in partciular who had neither of those in mind.\n\nDriving on the bridge of a small motorboat was a young man in his early twenties. He was fairly tall along with an average build. His skin was quite tan from numerous hours working in the sun's rays. His hair was almost completely buzzed off, and his green eyes were covered by a pair of sunglasses. The only clothing he bore was a white tank top and a pair of red swimming trunks.\n\nHis name was Aaron Fisher, one of Undella's locals who did numerous jobs in order to get by. However, he was best known for his diving work, having made a few big discoveries during his travels. It was on this day that he'd be doing just that, taking another stab of searching the famous Abyssmal Ruins for any hidden valuables.\n\nAfter arrving at his destination coordinates, which was notable by the darker shades of blue on the surface, Aaron stopped his boat and quickly weighed anchor. He then headed over to the side and took out a lone Poke Ball. \"Alright,\" he said. \"I've made you wait far too long!\" Aaron then tossed the ball up, the capsule releasing his partner from within.\n\n\"Dewgong!\" the Pokemon said as it wasted no time in diving in, hitting the water with a large splash and spraying Aaron from head to time. Aaron chuckled and shook the water off before it surfaced again, diving in and out of the water several times happily after spending so much time out of the water.\n\nAaron coulnd't help but smile and watch. Marina was his diving partner, as well as one of the few Pokemon in his possession. She always wore a water lily next to her horn, and her voice was also a little more high pitched than others of her species. She had also been his first Pokemon, after he'd been willing to adopt her when he was 12. Marina had been a little Seel at the time, having washed up on the beach after getting separated from her family. Unfortunately, her herd had already moved on by the time that she had been returned to full health.\n\nHowever, Aaron was more than happy to take her in, having always wanted a Seel in the first place. He was a big fan of Water-types, already loving the water period, and he and Marina had quickly hit it off to say the least.\n\nNow these days, Aaron and Marina were the best of friends, and he always took her to swim whenever he went out onto the water, whether it be for business or pleasure.\n\n\"Dewgong! Gong Gong!\" Marina exclaimed from the waters, her fins and tail slapping against the water. Aaron could tell she was extra eager to dive.\n\nAaron laughed. \"Alright, girl! Just hold on, let me get my stuff ready.\"\n\n\"Gooong!\" Marina chided, urging him to go faster and get in the water with her. She dived under, swimming laps around the boat to try and pass the time.\n\n\"Geez...,\" Aaron mumbled before taking a seat on the deck. He then began his routine of putting on his diving gear. First he grabbed his mask and slowly put it over his face, making sure it was secure. Next, he took his two blue diving fins and secured them over his bare feet. Next, he tied onto himself a small belt that contained several useful gadgets, including a waterproof flashlight and knife. Finally, Aaron grabbed his most important tool, his rebreather. It was a little bit better equipped than the standard issue rebreather, able to last much longer and withstand better water pressures.\n\nAaron then stretched out his limbs to make sure his was limber enough before leaning over the side and letting himself fall in with much smaller splash and resurfacing.\n\nMarina immediately swam up next to him and nuzzled him affectionately. \"Dewgong...,\" she cooed as she rubbed up against him.\n\nAaron chuckled as he hugged her back. \"Good to see you too, girl. You ready to dive!\"\n\nMarina nodded eagerly. \"Gong gong!\" She then turned away from her partner, motioning for him to grab onto her. Aaron nodded and did, wrapping his arms around her neck snuggly and firmly. Once they were ready, he then slipped his rebreather into his mouth before Marina took the plunge.\n\nSlowly, but surely Marina carried Aaron underneath the surface. Aaron relaxed his body, slowly kicking while letting Marina's strong tail do most of the work, though he knew she didn't mind. It was calm and quiet around them as they slowly descended, several different species of Water-types around them.\n\nIt was during this time that Aaron felt most at peace. He always had felt this way ever since he was a boy just learning how to swim. Everything about being underwater seemed to feel right to him, from the sights and sounds to the feel of near weightlessness. If it were up to him, he could stay down there forever and not have a care in the world. Having Marina swimming with him made the experience even better, being the magneficent sea creature that she was.\n\nAfter decending to about 25 feet, Aaron and Marina arrived at their destination, which was one of the smaller chambers of the Abyssmal Ruins. They were said to hold the lost treasures of an ancient king. The only problem was that there were several passages within them that seemed to lead multiple dead ends. It was a risky proposition even with rebreathers, as it was very easy to get lost within.\n\nAaron and Marina had tried to search these ruins multiple times with no luck. Sure, they'd found a few useful items here and there, but nothing worth the effort. Today, Aaron had picked out a smaller chamber that they had managed to find an entry way to the previous day, having waited until now to explore it.\n\nAaron tapped Marina on the shoulder, getting her attention as he pointed to the doorway. Marina nodded. \"Gong, gong,\" she replied with a few bubbles before taking them both inside. Aaron quickly flicked on his flashlight as they slowly swam through the small chamber. As he expected, Aaron found several different paths for them to take. However, he'd despised a way around this some time ago. Before he and Marina would take a path, he'd simply chip away at the stone walls with his knife to so they wouldn't get lost.\n\nFor an hour or two, Marina helped Aaron search through all the various tunnels they encountered to no avail once more. She hated to see him get down like this, but she knew he didn't mind too much as long as she was with him. Soon, after the seventh dead end, Aaron was about to give up before he decided to try one last path, having just enough battery left in his flashlight in order to do so.\n\nAaron and Marina took the path before finding yet another dead end. However, under this dead end was something that made their eyes bulge out in surprise. There was a stone sculpture of the head of a beautiful women. Around her neck was a necklace, which held a large sapphire gem in the middle of it.\n\nAaron gasped and took off his breather momentarily, yelling out in happiness over this discovery. This artifact was sure to get him a good price anywhere that he took it. To celebrate, he quickly kissed Marina on the cheek before reaching down to take it. However, once he grabbed it, the earth around them began to quake. Aaron threw in his breather and gasped sharply. He hadn't wanted to believe in the rumors of traps at the local ruins. Not good.\n\n\"Dewgong!\" Marina cried out in horror, recognizing the predicament as well. She quickly grabbed Aaron and wrapped around him with her fins. Aaron held on tight as she swam was fast as she could through the maze before looking back and gasping, finding a rather large torrent of water coming straight for them.\n\nMarina screamed and pulled Aaron close to her, realizing she couldn't outswim the torrent in time. The two twisted and tumbled through the chamber, lucky to be missed by falling rubble. After what seemed like an eternity, the two then felt themselves shot up out of the entryway roughly.\n\nAaron groaned, having felt the wind get knocked out of him. Marina shook her head and noticed his weariness, immediately setting herself upright and hustling back to the surface to get him fresh air. With her powerful tail, it only took seconds for them break the water's edge.\n\n\"Dewgong, dewgong gong?\" Marina asked worriedly, hoping he was ok.\n\nAaron took out his rebreather and panted heavily. He looked at her and smiled. \"It's alright girl...I'm ok.\"\n\n\"Gong...,\" Marina sighed in relief.\n\n\"That was way too close. Thanks again, Marina. I don't know about you, but I don't think we'll look through that one anymore.\"\n\n\"Dew dew,\" Marina agreed.\n\nAaron then smirked. \"Besides...,\" he said, pulling his hand up out of the water and revealing the necklace, which he'd somehow managed to hold on to. \"...I think we found what we were looking for after all.\"\n\n\"Dewgong!\" Marina cheered happily, quickly wrapping her flippers around his neck and nuzzling him, glad to see he was happy.\n\nAaron sighed and happily returned the favor. The two treaded water together for several moments, enjoying the moment before pulling back.\n\n\"Well...ready to head back?\" Aaron asked.\n\nMarina paused, before grinning widely. She then curled her tail around Aaron's waist and hooking between his legs. \"Gong...dewgong?\" she asked pleadingly. She grinded against his body, her soft fur feeling good against his skin.\n\nAaron tilted his head and stroked her cheek. \"I don't see why not...what better way to celebrate?\"\n\n\"Dewgong!\" Marina cheered before hugging him again. She then pulled back and gave him a short, but tender kiss on the lips. Aaron smiled and kissed her back before they pulled away from each other momentarily before he took one of her flipper's in his hand and took the dive with her beneath the waves once more.\n\nAs they descended, Aaron couldn't help but recall how their relationship had grown recently. It had all began when Aaron had gone through puberty, and his hormones had began to kick in. He'd already loved the mythical mermaids, but their sex appeal made him love them even more. He could spend hours reading stories about them, but only the ones with any potential lovers.\n\nEventually, when Marina had become a Dewgong, Aaron couldn't help but come to find her beautiful and sexy over time. It was true that Dewgongs did resemble mermaids after all. Aaron had been ashamed of himself at first, and he did his best not to think of Marina like that to protect their friendship. However, it was during one of their times where an unexpected erection had given those feelings away.\n\nAs for Marina, she actually had developed feelings for Aaron over time as well. He was her best friend, and her favorite person to swim with whenever they went out to sea. In fact, she had been in heat not too long ago, and hadn't found a worthy male Pokemon in her eye to be with. It was only when she'd spotted his full maleness for the first time did she let her curiousity and desires overcome her doubts.\n\nEver since their first intercourse together, Marina and Aaron's bond had grown even stronger than ever. They still treated on another like friends, but there was no doubt they loved the benefits that came with mating together.\n\nBy now, Marina had led Aaron to nice, secluded spot at about fifteen feet below the surface. There were several soft rocks and coral dotting the area around, making it a sight to behold. To their luck, there were also no Pokemon around as well, though they would've continued even if there were any.\n\nAaron slowly sank himself down and rested against a larger rock. Marina quickly swam and layed her flippers down on top of him, her weight able to keep him in place. Marina smiled and nuzzled along his neck before motioning to his breather. Aaron nodded, taking a deep breath from it before removing it. Marina then quickly put her lips in it's place around his mouth, kissing him passionatley. Aaron moaned out, wrapping around her as he kissed her back eagerly. Marina was careful not to brush her fangs against his lips or tongue, but by now it had become second nature. It was too bad she couldn't give him air, otherwise they could keep this up for hours.\n\nAaron then grunted, tapping her on the shoulder. Marina pulled back reluctantly, letting him put his rebreather back in his mouth. However, she grinned before laying over him once more. She then flexed her tail before reaching down with it grinding it against Aaron's groin, making him grunt softly from the erotic contact. Marina grinned as she felt him harden beneath his trunks, leaning in and nuzzling him again.\n\nWhile he couldn't talk with the rebreather on, Aaron still was able to communicate his appreciativeness to his partner, continuing to stroke and pet her as much as possible. He groaned louder, feeling his trunks become too tight to keep on. Marina giggled and lifted herself off of him momentarily, allowing him to reach down and lift his own legs up to untie the knot in order to slide off his trunks. His member sprang forward, the cool water surrounding his length.\n\nMarina licked her lips and positioned herself on Aaron's legs, facing his erection. \"Dew...gong?\" she asked with a bubbly voice, opening her mouth wide to indicate her intention. Aaron gasped and immediately nodded his approval.\n\n\"Gong!\" Marina cheered to herself. She then leaned down and slowly toyed with Aaron's length, softly stroking it with her soft flippers. Aaron hummed against the rebreather as his length throbbed in her touch, the erotic feel adding further to his arousal. Marina then licked her lips again before slowly leaning down and licking along Aaron's shaft, making his moan out bubbles with each lick. He looked down and stroked her head and horn, encouraging her to continue.\n\nMarina squealed happily as she did so, having learned from their previous sessions where he liked to be touched and how hard. Her tail swayed back and forth while she licked harder and harder, Aaron's moans of pleasure fueling her on. Eventually, she pulled off before slowly sinking her mouth onto Aaron's length, making him gasp loudly. He took her head in his hands and held her there, her tongue licking along his underside as she sucked on him hard. There was no doubt that Marina could outduel any girl he knew when it came to giving pleasure like this.\n\nEventually, Marina winked and suddenly sprayed water around Aaron's shaft while it remained in her mouth while sucking, creating an almost unbearable effect. It was enough to bring him over the edge. Aaron quickly spit out his rebreather, throwing his head back and screaming through the water as his climax hit him hard. Several shots of warm seed shot into Marina's mouth, making her moan as she easily took it all in.\n\nAaron quickly regained his breather and shoved it back into his mouth, panting as he recovered from the intense orgasm. Marina smiled widely, swimming up and letting him hold her close for several minutes to show his appreciation. However, he knew full well they were far from over.\n\nMarina then giggled again before swimming a few yards away from where he was. Aaron tilted his head, curious to what she would do next. He wouldn't have to wait long...\n\nMarina giggled and narrowed her eyes. She smiled and nodded before she then began to move her body around in a kind of circular motion. While her top side went one way, her lower body and tail twisted the other direction. The most promient thing she did was shoot out her hips as often as possible, a small pink colored slit appearing in her snow white fur, growing a deeper shade with every second.\n\nAaron could only stare at her, mesmermized by her dance for him. This was her way of telling him what she wanted...and that was for him to take her right there and then. He wasn't ashamed to admit that he'd climaxed the first time he ever saw her do this for him, and was feeling himself throb and ache as she danced for him once more.\n\nMarina suddenly stopped before shooting down and laying on top of him once more. She then arched her back, raising her tail high as she positioned her slit over the head of his member. After they both nodded their readiness, Marina then took his head within her, her slick walls taking him easily. She cooed as she slowly slid down his shaft before hilting all the way.\n\nAaron closed his eyes tight and wrapped his arms around Marina, grunting in pure ecstasy. Marina's sex felt amazing around his length, her walls rippling around him like they were the ocean's waves. It was almost a perfect fit for him. Marina moaned with him, his thick length spreading her good and wide.\n\nThey remained still for several minutes, not even needing to move as they held each other close, their sexes locked together. Aaron wished he could stay like this forever, but knew the best was yet to come for sure.\n\nFinally, Marina began to raise her hips and lower hips back down against Aaron's groin. \"Gong...gong...gonnngg!\" Marina moaned with each push, Aaron's member hitting the back of her wet vagina each time. Aaron just layed back for the moment, more than content to let her go at her pace. He took of his rebreather again, leaning up and kissing Marina again. She moaned as they tongue wrestled again, a long stream of bubbles issuing from their mouths. All they needed was each other in that moment, oblivious to the underwater world around them.\n\nAaron managed to hold out for a good minute and a half before putting his breather in again. Marina was panting by now, her tail raised higher and higher as her pleasure rose. Being a Water-Type, she was extra sensitive down below, meaning she could easily finish with Aaron when the time came.\n\nAaron then grunted, raising up his knees and placing his hands on Marina's hips firmly. Marina gasped as he suddenly started to thrust back up into her. \"Gooong! Gooong!\" she cried, her cries of pleasure reverberating through the water around them. He had managed to hit her deepest and most precious spots, spiking her pleasure immensely.\n\nAaron moaned loud, as he focused more on powerful thrusting due to the water slowing him down. He loved the feeling of his entire length disappearing into her with each thrust, drawing him closer and closer to another climax.\n\nAnd come it would after a couple more minutes of powerful underwater love making. Aaron couldn't hold on any longer, forcing Marina down on him as he thrust as deep as he could into her. With a roar that forced out his breather, Aaron let loose more of his warm seed deep within her yearning sex, filling it easily. The warm shot in her body made Marina go over the edge as well, making her rear back and spasm uncontrollably on top of him. Her vagina clenched around him, milking his length for all that he could offer as her womb was filled.\n\nAaron felt himself drained as he fell back against the sandy bottom, his mind nearly going numb as the afterglow hit him hard. He then gurgled and grabbed his rebreather. Marina panted on top of him, having nuzzled against him. The two lay together like that for several minutes before Marina lifted herself off of him. She then helped him back to the surface and to his boat. Using what little strength he could must, Aaron then pulled himself onto his watercraft.\n\nMarina then leaped up onto the boat, knocking him over again. They both laughed before sitting up again.\n\n\"Wow...that was incredible...,\" Aaron panted. \"You're amazing, Marina.\"\n\n\"Dew...dew gong,\" she replied, saying she felt the same.\n\n\"Hmm...here,\" Aaron said as he took the necklace from his trunks, which he'd retrieved before they'd resurfaced. To Marina's suprise, he then wrapped it around her neck and left it there.\n\n\"Gong...?\" she asked, looking down at it.\n\n\"You know...that looks so great you,\" Aaron replied. \"Maybe we don't have to sell it so soon.\"\n\n\"Gong gong,\" Marina replied, nodding in agreement.\n\n\"Besides,\" Aaron said as he wrapped his arm around her, staring out at the late afternoon horizon. \"I've got all I need right here.\" Marina cooed and rested against him, licking his neck affectionately.\n\nAaron chuckled as he closed his eyes. \"Yep...thanks for being my little mermaid.\"" } ]

Bimma showed me the room at the back of the house with no ceiling and explained that this was where most people slept in their houses. I must have looked confused again as I saw no stairs going up. Bimma laughed again at my confusion, gave me a quick hug and kiss goodnight and suddenly began to inflate. My eyes widened in understanding as she drifted up into the room above to sleep surrounded by air. As I got myself settled into the hammock I actually began to wish that whatever change was coming over me would happen soon, for until it did there was a part of Bimma's life that I couldn't share. I fell asleep again thinking of my cousin Loona and Bimma's assertion that she would like it here. I slept late the next morning, and on my wandering into the kitchen Urshi assured me that it was just one night I had slept this time. She told me the change was probably close to complete by then or I would still be sleeping the days away. \"So when or how does it start that one inflates?\" I asked as she poured me tea. \"It is often different for everyone,\" she replied. \"Children as they come into their teen years will try to make it happen, but it happens when it does. Often it is a startling event that triggers it.\" \"I see,\" I said, \"Where is Bimma?\" \"Bimma is still sleeping. She has been awake early most days of late keeping an eye on you.\" \"Urshi, were you eavesdropping on Bimma and I last night?\" Urshi looked a little embarrassed, and then looked down at her huge boobs. \"Well I did look out the door at one point and saw you and Bimma together there,\" she replied evasively. \"I see, and at what point did you happen to look out at us?\" I asked then with a smile. Now Urshi looked me full in the face and returned my smile. \"At a point that convinced me that my daughter indeed cares much about you, and that you care much about her.\" \"So what do you think Kubar will think about that?\" \"I think you will have to speak directly with him about that,\" she answered. \"But it may help you to know that I don't think my husband wants to see his last daughter married off to a place where we may not see her often any more than I do.\" \"Bimma told me about her sisters yesterday, and that travel to those places did not happen so often.\" \"You have to understand Steven, the mode of travel we have adapted to is dependent on the weather conditions, more specifically the winds. It is Kubar's task as the shaman to determine the weather and winds. Fortunately this ability is something that the shamans have learned to do well over time. The winds change with the seasons, and sometimes the seasonal winds don't always agree with the goods we would transport to specific places. This time of year transport to Lagoon, South, and Sky villages are easier. Sometimes goods have to be sent somewhere by using another village as a middle point because of the winds. We are able to move large amounts of goods at times our way, and trying to move such amounts of goods would be almost impossible by ground because of the very irregular nature of the terrain in between villages. It just so happens that my other daughters are in villages that can only be traveled to directly from here at specific times of the year.\" I said nothing then, only sat and sipped my tea until Bimma came in rubbing her eyes. \"Your turn to sleep late,\" I said to her with a smile. Bimma looked at my half empty cup and looked suspiciously at me and her mother for a moment, and I knew she was wondering what her mother and I had been talking about. Then she poured herself some tea and sat down next to me. \"The men from Sky village should be coming today,\" she said. \"That may prove to be an interesting meeting,\" I responded. Urshi provided us with breakfast and I told Bimma that I wanted to look at my portable lab, and maybe get it set up somewhere. \"The communal building is still keeping your boat and its contents safely, so maybe we can set it up there. What does it involve?\" She asked. \"Not too much, just a place where it can be set up and not disturbed,\" I answered. \"Then let us look into it,\" she said after a moment, and got up with our dishes and brought them to the sink area of the kitchen. \"You and Steven go on now,\" said Urshi, \"I will take care of this.\" And with that, Urshi shooed us out of the house. \"So what were you and mother talking about while I slept?\" Bimma asked as we walked across the village center to the building where my remaining possessions were. \"She was explaining to me about the way things are done here between villages, the moving of goods, and the communication that happens as a result. She also talked about how it is often difficult to see your sisters at some times of the year because of the weather and where they are now.\" Bimma nodded, but said nothing as we entered the hut where my boat and other items lay. \"She also implied to me that I should not be afraid to talk to your father about wanting to marry you.\" Bimma turned suddenly and exclaimed: \"You asked her about that!?\" \"Actually no, but I did see her watching us when we were talking outside last night, so I asked what she thought, and she seemed happy that we care for each other, and told me that I should talk to your father about how much I care about you.\" She grabbed me then and pulled me into an embrace. \"Do you really want me to be your wife Steven? Tell the truth!\" I returned the embrace and looked her in the eyes. \"Yes Bimma, I think I want you to be with me as long as we live. I was not offering empty promises last night.\" She squeaked her happiness to me as she pulled me into another long passionate kiss. I could feel her against me, and I felt her pushing into me. I reached out to wrap my arms around her and suddenly realized that my arms were being spread apart. Her tits were expanding into my chest, and her belly was pushing into me. I couldn't touch my fingers together as they slid along her back as Bimma inflated. Her arms were still wrapped behind my neck and held me in that position to return the kiss which seemed to go on and on. I felt her ballooning tits spreading around me then, and I stopped trying to hug her and began lightly rubbing her nipples feeling them become hard as I did. My own anatomy was responding down lower as Bimma pulled me closer and rocked backward to pull me on top of her as she fell onto her back. She continued the kiss and made little squeaky noises as my hands continued to rub her still ballooning breasts. Finally Bimma ended the kiss and looked up at me with a big smile on her now very round face. \"I think you need as much incentive as I can give to be very convincing when you talk to my father about becoming my husband,\" she whispered. I shifted a bit where I lay on her now even larger belly and partially wedged in her now very deep cleavage, and looked into her eyes and smiled back at her. \"I didn't think I needed any more incentive,\" I whispered back, \"but it certainly didn't hurt any.\" Remembering where we were, and its communal nature, I slid off of her then, and took her arm to help her to her feet. At this moment her legs had absorbed into her body down to her knees, and I regretfully gave a lick and a kiss to the nipple nearest me. Bimma shivered at that, and after a moment began to deflate herself. \"Why did you inflate just then?\" I asked. \"Well it isn't always a voluntary thing,\" she replied with a giggle. \"If something sudden and frightening happens the adrenaline rush can have us airborne in seconds, but other things can trigger it too.\" \"Obviously,\" I said. I walked over to what remained of my boat and untied the straps that had secured the portable lab unit. Bimma dragged a table over from one side of the room, and went around pulling back all the drapes that covered the windows and doors flooding the large single room with light. I looked around and saw things I had missed previously. There were shelves stocked with many boxes, and bins arranged along the back and side walls, as well as piles of sacks containing who knew what. \"What is in all these boxes and sacks?\" I asked Bimma. \"This is one of the community storage buildings,\" she answered, pushing the table over against a wall near a window so light would hit it. \"Many things are stored here, some seed stock in the boxes, grain from last harvest, candles, and many other items. There are several buildings like this in the village. Everyone stores goods in them.\" I heard a rustling noise behind me and turned to see two cats moving around one of the piles of grain sacks. Bimma scooped out a bowl of water from the small barrel by the wall and brought it over to set on the floor by them. \"The cats live in and around the village. It is everyone's duty to care for them when we can as they guard many of our stores against pests,\" she explained. I nodded at this and proceeded to begin moving the large container box to the table. Bimma came over to assist me and we moved it onto the table and opened it. The analysis unit seemed none the worse as I looked it over, but the battery was almost drained, and the computer booted up long enough to tell me it needed a full recharge. I sighed. I should have expected that. \"Bimma, Jeremy said there are solar panels here. Are there any here in West village?\" I asked. \"I think so, but you should probably talk to Numassa about it, he would be the one that would know where such things are used here.\" As if on cue Numassa, Kubar, and Jeremy came through the door accompanied by two men I had never seen before. \"Steven Flinton, I would like to introduce you to James Linton, medical doctor, and Michael Granger, biologist,\" said Jeremy. I shook hands with the two newcomers, suddenly feeling self-conscious as the only person in the room not three times normal size. James Linton seemed to notice my quick glance around the circle of everyone present and laughed. \"I know just how you feel,\" he said. \"Even though I have been here 15 years now, I still remember being the smallest person in South village until my body adjusted itself to life here.\" \"So you are an American too then?\" I asked. \"I guess that since I never gave up my citizenship that I effectively am still an American,\" he answered, \"but I doubt I will ever spend much of my life there ever again, if at all. I am quite happy here Mr. Flinton.\" \"Could we dispense with the Mr. Flinton?\" I asked. \"Steven will do just fine.\" \"Very well,\" said Michael Granger then, \"then I am Michael, and this is James, and if you are wondering about my accent, I am originally from New Zealand, but like James, am not planning a return to my birth country anytime soon.\" James eyes fell on my analysis unit then. He looked it over closely and shook his head after a minute. \"I must say that the state of the art has improved quite a lot since my time around such equipment. How detailed a blood analysis can it provide?\" \"It can do full spectrum blood analysis, as well as cellular biochemical breakdowns and even DNA analysis,\" I replied. James and Michael exchanged a long look and seemed to barely contain their excitement. \"Truly? It can do DNA analysis?\" asked Michael. \"Absolutely it can, except for one minor problem right now in the form of batteries that need a recharge,\" I answered. \"I had just told Steven that you would know if solar panels might be available to make his lab work again,\" Bimma told Numassa. \"I will need to go and speak with Kwon and see if this can be arranged,\" said Numassa after a moment. \"I shall probably have to promise him some of that strong drink that comes from South village, but it may be worth it.\" With that Numassa turned and left the hut. \"Even if we do get something set up today, it is likely that we will need at least 24 hours before the lab is ready to use, maybe a bit longer since it will probably want to be calibrated,\" I told everyone. \"Maybe we should go to my house then,\" said Kubar. \"Perhaps James and Michael will tell you of their theories about our uniqueness.\" With that he turned and led the way out of the hut across the village central area to his home. As we walked I noticed that as usual I was being looked at a lot by the other villagers walking about, but now for the first time I noticed that it was mostly the women that were looking at me. Up till now I was often so focused on Bimma that I had not really paid that much attention, I knew I was the different one here. As this thought went through my mind Bimma firmly took my hand and seemed to take a defiant sort of stare toward anyone looking at us. I suppressed a smile about that. We settled around Kubar's table, and Urshi brought in tea for everyone. \"So Steven,\" began Michael, \"how long have you been here now?\" I looked at Jeremy and Kubar, but it was Bimma who answered: \"It has been several days past three weeks since his arrival to the island.\" \"Most of which I have spent sleeping and eating,\" I followed up with. \"Are you now waking after only one night's sleep?\" asked James. \"Yes, but even so, I am sleeping longer than I usually do, and very deeply too.\" \"That is the way of the change. Probably you will continue this pattern for a few more weeks, and don't be surprised if you still sleep an extra day or two yet before it is complete,\" said James. \"How will I know when the change is complete?\" I asked. \"When something happens to make you suddenly start looking like the rest of us,\" chuckled Jeremy. While I was sorting that out in my head Numassa came in with another person I had never seen before. He was older, but how much I couldn't be sure as I had not yet seen any obviously elderly people here, and unlike everyone else I had seen here he we not inflated to a size that made him look to be four or five hundred pounds. It was obvious that he had some pressure in him, but he wasn't much larger than I was. \"This is Kwon,\" said Numassa by way of introduction. \"He agrees to help you to recharge your lab unit, but he is curious about its workings and asks that you show him how it works when you are doing your research.\" \"I think we can do that,\" I agreed. \"Kwon, I am Steven.\" I held out my hand to him and he shook it. \"I am very interested to see this technology,\" he said. \"Most of those that have the newer technology are in South and Lagoon villages, but I am sure they have nothing like what you brought.\" \"Or anyone that would know how to use it,\" put in Kubar proudly. \"That is certain,\" said Michael with a grin. That said we returned to the communal hut where Kwon had left a large solar panel and a boxlike device that proved to be an adjustable inverter. Just what the doctor ordered, I thought. Kwon positioned the solar panel in an open area to get as much sunlight as possible, and ran a wire into the open window space to the inverter on the table, and I carefully made the connections to the lab unit and adjusted the power correctly. \"If we get good sunlight for the rest of the day, and tomorrow, it should be recharged by tomorrow afternoon,\" I told them. \"Good, I shall see you tomorrow then,\" said Kwon, and turned and left without another word. \"Unusual fellow there,\" remarked Michael. \"Indeed,\" said Kubar, \"but he has made such things as this his business to know about, so he is very handy to have around at times.\" With that we returned to Kubar's table. This time Kubar poured out cups of the fermented drink that I was now getting used to and toasted our honored guests from Sky village. \"So,\" I said then, \"what are your thoughts about the unusual nature of the people here? And how do you think I am going to be able to assist you in your understanding?\" Michael looked around the table and smiled. \"Do you realize Kubar, that right now there are more immigrants than natives at your table?\" Kubar laughed at that. \"I also realize that it is the appreciation the immigrants have for this place that makes the natives stay right here.\" \"Well that is quite true indeed,\" said James then. He looked at me and said: \"Michael arrived here 17 years ago, I have been here 15, and Jeremy 12. In Sky village are some histories kept, and the history of this place and its uniqueness can actually be tracked back over 1000 years. Only people that find themselves here by accident and are essentially helpless are given the opportunity to become part of the culture. This seems to be a long established tradition, although the nature of things here, and the efforts to maintain traditions do seem to discourage anyone from wanting to come and stay. When ships come to South and Lagoon villages, the crews are treated politely, but staying here is discouraged. Obviously we cannot hide our natures once someone is brought into the culture, and according to the traditions the occasional new blood is regarded favorably. Naturally having some people with specific skills arriving have brought some innovation and improvements to the quality of life here.\" \"So you are saying that even the limited contact has to some extent prevented any stagnation here,\" I said. \"Indeed it has,\" said Michael, \"and once arrivals come to appreciate things here, they are often the fiercest defenders of maintaining the traditions as they are. But, with new understandings come new questions. In the beginning when James and I first met, we were afraid of discussing our thoughts about this inflation anomaly with anyone but each other. It took a lot of time and careful listening to what others thought before we shared the ideas we had about how things were the way they are here.\" \"So now you feel comfortable with discussing it out loud?\" I asked. \"Well there are certainly some people that are so grounded in the old ways that they would disapprove of even questioning the nature of this 'gift of the gods'\" put in Kubar. \"But I can speak for all of the shamans when I say that we are curious about what the nature of this gift really is. No one here would ever want to lose their ability to be as we are, but the knowledge that we are different in this way does pluck at one's curiosity.\" \"So,\" I said, looking at James and Michael, \"just what are your thoughts on it, and how can I help?\" James hesitated a moment, looking me straight in the eye. I got the idea he was afraid I was going to laugh when he proposed his theory, but he spoke steadily as he sketched out his thoughts: \"The natives here have described what new arrivals go through as the 'sleep of change' long back in the histories,\" he began. \"It seems to be an appropriate choice of words, wouldn't you say?\" \"I am really not sure, as other than the vast amount of sleeping I have done, I have not noticed any particular changes,\" I answered. \"According to the histories, no one has ever gone past six weeks here before the obvious nature of the change has manifested,\" said Michael, \"and often it is a very stimulating event that causes it for the first time. If something happens to produce an adrenaline rush, you might inflate hugely before you even realized what was happening. Since according to the religious dogma this change was brought about by the sea and fire gods to protect their children here from the anger of the earth gods. The histories speak of sudden earthquakes here, and given the volcanic nature of the island that is not hard to believe. What better protection from an earthquake than being able to be airborne almost instantly?\" \"What about children though?\" I asked. \"We believe that is why women can inflate to a very large size much more rapidly than men can. It is not that women can become bigger than men, but they can get there faster. In the interest of saving children that would be the sort of adaptation nature would favor.\" Michael went on. \"Alright,\" I said, \"your point is well taken. But how did this peculiar variation on the species take place?\" \"When you came here, at what point did you notice that your sleeping patterns had become prolonged?\" asked James. I thought about it a minute. \"Almost immediately. I remember falling asleep that first evening, and sleeping round the clock into the morning of the day after.\" \"What did you eat when you first got here?\" asked Michael. \"Well, the only things I arrived with were my soaked duffel bag, the portable lab unit, and the damaged boat I washed up tied to, so the only food was fruit trees I found in the jungle.\" \"Just so,\" said Michael, \"and this was what you continued to eat while you were on the beach.\" \"Well, until Jeremy showed up and we ate dried fish in addition to the fruit and his skin full of alcoholic drink.\" \"Our theory Steven,\" said James now, \"is that everyone here, either from birth, or from the time they start consuming the local fruits and vegetables, become inoculated with a unique virus that essentially rewrites their DNA and causes a body wide change to result in our becoming what we now are.\" I sat there and let that sink in. It was well known that viruses effectively co-opt a cells reproductive system to make more copies of itself, and it was also known that by their very nature a virus was capable of modifying the DNA helix. Certain disease processes had been traced to just such viral activity, most of such activities were far from benign. \"OK,\" I said then, \"I will admit that what you are suggesting is possible, and as a working hypothesis I am willing to go with it. I can see how my lab and skills could at least prove or disprove your theory, but I need to hear more of your thoughts. How, for example, do people expand to such sizes? They grow taller as they inflate from what I have noticed. And how is it that people can inflate at will with lighter than air gas with no external source? I can accept a deflation at will, but also what is the gas people inflate with?\" \"From what we have been able to study, the gas is largely hydrogen, but there is helium as well,\" said James. \"We postulate that somehow the body is capable of removing and storing the helium from respirations in some form; from what we have been able to discover, the body releases the hydrogen first when we deflate, which is why when releasing the residual gas by the respiratory system we get the squeaky helium voice. But for the rapid inflation we believe that some organ, possibly the liver, is adapted to somehow break down water in the body for a quick infusion of hydrogen in the tissues. Again, there is much we can't be sure of. Even if we had the proper equipment to do a post mortem study, we had no way of analyzing the tissue samples. As for the size increase, we do know that all of your connective tissues and skin have been modified to a lighter form which is extremely flexible, stretchy, and resilient. Even your bones will take on a similar quality, and even though your size may not seem to have changed, I can guarantee you have probably lost as much as 20 percent of your weight.\" To illustrate his point, James put his forearm against the table edge and bent his arm toward the table with his other hand. His arm bent in the mid area of the bones down to meet the table top. I stared at this, and couldn't help myself. I put my own arm in a similar position and applied pressure with my other hand. It was a bit uncomfortable, but my arm bent similarly as James' arm had down to the table top. \"You will also notice that your skin has become extremely elastic as well,\" said Michael pulling on the skin of his arm and stretching it out an impossible distance from the extremity. He released it and it snapped back to become normal arm covering once again. Still in a state of mild shock, I repeated his action on my own arm with a similar result. \"Any pain?\" asked James. \"A mild discomfort for both of them, but no pain,\" I replied. \"Your change is not yet complete then. But, it hasn't been a full month for you, and that is our thought of the span of time for completion. You see this seems to be a full structural adjustment of the body. Bone and skin are affected, and we suspect all of your connective tissues as well which accounts for how people become taller as they enlarge. The connective tissues that bind the bones together quite literally stretch with everything else.\" I thought this over and realized that their theory fit together pretty well. What else could account for all of it? I asked myself. Still, it seemed that they had given it all quite a lot of thought, and until I got the lab up and running there seemed to be nothing else for it but to consider their ideas and come up with any more questions I was as yet unsatisfied about. \"Oh yes Steven, one other thing,\" said Michael then. \"You may have heard that people have left this island and returned to the world outside.\" \"Yes, I was told that, and I was also told that every one of them opted to return here.\" \"That is true,\" he went on, \"but the interesting part is their reports about their ability once they left here. It seems that within a week of leaving they are no longer able to inflate themselves at will. They are still able to inflate with air by breathing technique, but to float themselves they actually need an external source of lighter than air gas.\" Now that was interesting! I thought about this for a bit before I ventured a thought on it. \"That would seem to validate the idea that the native food here has much to do with it.\" \"We think the same,\" said James. Before anything more could be said Urshi walked over to the table and announced that dinner was ready. Dinner consisted of bowls of another form of fish stew served with the nutty bread that I was growing quite fond of. We exchanged more thoughts over dinner, but the main gist of what they came here to talk to me about had been laid out quite plainly already. I continued to think about it as I ate. After dinner we drank more of the stronger liquor that Kubar poured out for us, and I excused myself to go check on the lab units charging state. Bimma rose and followed me out. She took my hand as we walked across the common area. \"Are you troubled by what you have learned Steven?\" she asked. \"No, not really troubled,\" I answered slowly. \"But things here defy what I have spent a good part of my life learning, and such serious alterations in the ways of nature always make one have questions that the answers to often cause one to have to unlearn things, and that is often hard.\" She squeezed my hand then and said: \"I hope you find the answers you are looking for, but I hope much more that you are able to accept what you find, and be happy here.\" \"It doesn't matter what I find really, I plan on staying and trying to make you happy,\" I told her. \"After all, a spoiled brat like you needs lots of attention.\" That got a laugh out of her, and we went in the hut together. The batteries seemed to be partially charged, and would resume charging when the sun came up, so we returned to the house of Kubar. The men were gone then, and I was told they were to be guests of Numassa as honored visitors from Sky village. Kubar then poured more liquor and handed me a cup, he then motioned that I should join him as he walked out the front door, so I followed. We sat on the bench in front of Kubar's house and sipped at our cups. After a moment Kubar spoke: \"My daughter seems to care very much for you.\" \"Yes, and I care very much for her,\" I responded. \"My wife tells me that you and she have had several talks,\" he went on. \"Urshi has explained many things to me that are not immediately apparent to a newcomer as myself. In truth I am very grateful for what she has told me as while things are often not as they appear in many situations, if I am to make a life here it is helpful to appreciate things that may affect me.\" I answered truthfully. \"So you think you will be able to be happy here without so many of the things of the world outside that you are used to?\" he asked then. \"I have met three others that came from the outside world and were also used to the technology of it, but they have adjusted to life here quite happily I have noticed. And, I think I know what has played a large part in their happiness here.\" I asserted. Kubar took a long drink from his cup and turned to look at me. \"Really? So please tell me what you think has been so important in their happiness here?\" \"The fact that they met women that made them feel complete in their lives here.\" I said simply taking a long drink from my own cup. \"So do you think maybe you have met such a woman?\" he asked looking straight at me. \"If you are going where I think you are going, then yes Kubar, I want to marry Bimma.\" There seemed no better way to this than to state it as flatly as that. Kubar stared at me for a long moment before he raised his cup and took another long drink. \"Bimma is my youngest daughter,\" he said after a long moment. \"I had to allow the others to marry to places where we do not see them often.\" \"Yes, Urshi and Bimma told me this.\" \"If I allow you to marry Bimma it may cause some problems.\" \"What kind of problems?\" I asked, perplexed by this. \"The chiefs and shamans of the villages often seek to marry their children to each other to improve ties with other villages. When such weddings take place it is a big affair, and people of high station come from the other villages to attend. Often this is when our children meet the children of others that may make for improved ties through marriage. I am at least very happy that my elder daughters did make up their own minds about who they wanted to marry, and I believe that they are as happy as they can be, but the choices of the children of some of us are often limited.\" \"Yes, Bimma told me this very thing,\" I responded. Kubar grunted at that, and took another drink. \"Bimma is a very stubborn and willful young woman.\" He told me then. \"But she is also very kind and caring, and has no patience for arrogance. For this reason she has refused to marry either of the two young men that have been seeking her attentions. One is the son of the chief of South village, and the other is the son of the shaman of Lagoon village. Each thinks that eventually she will come around to accept their interests.\" \"I would think that there must be other women that they might take an interest in if she is clear that she is not interested,\" I replied after some thought. \"As my wife has told you there is politics involved in this, and these arrogant young men would never consider marrying outside of their perceived station of status.\" \"Are there no other women of status that they might take an interest in?\" I asked. \"Have you noticed other women here since you arrived?\" \"Well no, not really, Bimma has kept my attention since I woke up here.\" \"Exactly,\" laughed Kubar. \"You are not blind Steven. My youngest daughter is one of the most beautiful women in the West village, and it is not a father's pride that makes me say that. Her mother is also a great beauty, and Bimma resembles her closely. Had you noticed that?\" I nodded at this, but said nothing. \"These young men feel that they need a wife that befits their status, and they both desire Bimma very much for that reason.\" Kubar lapsed into silence and sipped at his cup. It occurred to me as I looked at my own cup that these were larger containers than they first appeared, and I was feeling a nice buzz in my head by now. After a few minutes of silence I couldn't stand it anymore. \"Kubar, I very much want to marry Bimma, and I really don't care about the possessive and self-righteous attitudes of some spoiled brats from far away villages.\" I said defiantly. Suddenly I heard Kubar start to chuckle. He got himself under control after a minute and took another sip from his cup. \"Now that is an attitude I can appreciate,\" he said. \"I think you and I will get along just fine.\" He clapped me hard on the shoulder and we clinked our cups together and finished our liquor. We sat there a bit longer, and I waited to see if he had more to say. \"I have to be truthful with you here,\" he said then. \"I really don't want to see my last daughter go to another village where I may not see her often again. Your presence here, and the fact that you and Bimma have gotten on so well together has worked in a way favorable to me and my wife. We would like to be part of the lives of some of our grandchildren. As a new arrival you do have a certain status though you may not realize it. Newcomers bring knowledge that is often of great benefit to us, and listening to the discussion today tells me that this may well be so. If such knowledge were to benefit the entire island then there would not be cause for ill will for allowing Bimma to marry you.\" \"I hope then that I don't disappoint anybody,\" I answered. Kubar rose then and looked me straight in the eye as he said to me: \"Most of all, don't disappoint Bimma.\" He turned then and went into the house. I sat there and replayed what had just happened in my head, and enjoyed the buzz in there as well. I don't know how long I sat there looking up at the star filled sky, but a large shadow came from the house and sat down next to me as I was picking out constellations in the southern sky. \"So what did you and father talk about?\" Bimma asked anxiously. \"Some arrogant young men in South and Lagoon village that want to marry you,\" I answered still looking up at the sky. She looked down at her boobs then. \"So he explained about making good ties to other villages then?\" \"Yes he did, and he also explained that he wanted very much for he and Urshi to be part of the lives of at least some of their grandchildren, and that the happiness of his youngest daughter was more important to him than the politics between here and Lagoon or South village.\" Bimma's look was incredulous as she stared at me. I gave up looking at the stars and smiled at her. \"He said too that he thought he and I would get along well when you and I get married.\" At this I stood up and took Bimma's hand and pulled her up to me and we exchanged the best kiss yet. X I slept very well that night, and awoke feeling quite happy with life. On reflection I could not remember feeling so good about my circumstances in a long time, if ever. I grabbed a towel and some soap, and after a brief stop at the privy along the way went to the area which seemed to be a communal area for bathing. At my approach there were a couple there that had obviously just finished as they were re-inflating themselves on the shore. They smiled at me and waved shyly as I approached, but otherwise minded their own business. I threw my towel and native skirt over one of the crudely constructed racks for that purpose and waded in. \"So you decided to come for a bath without me?\" I heard Bimma's voice behind me. \"I didn't know you were awake yet, the house seemed pretty quiet.\" I answered, turning to face her. Bimma was smiling as she was rapidly losing what I had come to think of her normal size and slipping out of her skirt. I was still surprised at the amazing capacity for these garments to stretch and accommodate anyone, as I was told that one size fit all. As she continued to grow smaller Bimma waded in and splashed up to me to give me a hug. Since we were in over our waists, no one could see my involuntary reaction to her close presence. She giggled and rubbed more up against me, then turned her back to me, so I proceeded to soap up her back and shoulders, slowly moving around to make her slippery with soap all over. \"Mmmmmmmmmm it has been so long since anyone has washed me,\" she said then as she began soaping my back. \"Really?\" I answered. \"How long?\" \"Since my sister, Quona, was married off. We came here with Trina and Ayesha to prepare for the wedding.\" I didn't know what to say to that, and didn't really want her to feel sad, so we finished washing up and headed back to the house, Bimma returning to her normal size as we walked. We went and checked on the lab, and I was happy to see that it had continued to recharge with the coming of the sun. A few more hours and it would be ready to go I thought. We then walked back to the house and joined Urshi for tea and some breakfast. Urshi seemed unusually happy that morning, and was very solicitous of both myself and Bimma, and the breakfast she served us had a great many options I had not seen before including some sort of eggs, and a type of fish I had not had before, and a variety of other items. I didn't question, I just enjoyed it. \"So, you and Kubar had a talk last night, did you?\" said Urshi then. It was not really a question I realized. \"Yes, we did,\" I responded simply. \"And, I guess I should thank you Urshi, since what I had to say was made easier for me by some of the things you have told me in our conversations.\" Urshi responded with just a smile at that, and left the room to talk to a neighbor that had knocked on the front door frame. \"She seems happy,\" I remarked. \"I wonder if Kubar told her all the details of our talk.\" \"You can be sure of that,\" answered Bimma. \"There are no secrets between my Mother and Father. She is also very good at divining what is not said. Mother is very shrewd, and we learned as children that it was very hard to have secrets from her. Of course she is happy since after your talk with Father, others were made happy as well.\" \"Are you happy Bimma?\" I asked with smile. The smile she returned was radiant. \"Of course I am happy Steven, and I think you are equally as happy. So that is two of us made happy by your talk with my father, and of course mother is happy since she likes you, and now she can be sure that at least one of her daughters will not leave West village, and she will be able to be a part of some of her grandchildren's lives, and though he will not admit it plainly, my Father is happy about the same thing.\" \"So how do we proceed on this from here? What are the customs involved?\" I asked then. \"That is up to my Father,\" she said. \"When a father agrees that one of his daughters is to be married, then it is up to him to make an announcement. This matters not who it is in the village, this is custom. Usually a formal dinner party of sorts is given, and the father of the daughter makes the formal announcement of the upcoming wedding, and toasts the bride and groom, and the families involved. In our case it will be a little less complicated since you have no family to get involved in it all.\" I thought of Loona then, and thought again of Bimma's assertion that she would fit in here. It might have been nice if it could be arranged for her to come here, but that process would surely delay things far too long. Bimma seemed to read my thoughts. \"Perhaps one day we can arrange for your cousin to come here,\" she said. \"Nice thought,\" I answered. \"So your father must make the decision about when he will make the announcement? He does this without consulting us or anyone else?\" \"Make no mistake about it Steven, Mother will offer some strong opinions to my Father about it, but ultimately yes, the decision will be his as to when to go forward. Knowing how things have been with my sisters, he may wait until he has thought about it, but I don't think it will be too long. In the meantime, we must not discuss it outside the house, that is also custom.\" \"What does he need to think about to affect his decision?\" I asked curiously. \"Did he not talk about the aspects that Mother and I warned you about?\" \"You mean the politics?\" I responded. \"Yes, the politics,\" she answered, \"I am not concerned as once Father has made up his mind, I know that I shall be your wife, but it may cause some hard feelings with the men that have been seeking my attentions now for two years. For a time I hoped that one of them might grow up and show more maturity, but that has not been the case, and I have truly not wanted to leave West village either; neither South nor Lagoon village would suit me, having to deflate and stay that way for days at a time even for the rare occasions of ship visits would not be at all pleasant, I prefer myself round and fat, and so I have continually declined interest in them. Father may feel the need to find a way to carefully explain that I am to be married to someone else, and he may want to sort that out in his mind before he makes the formal declaration.\" That said, Bimma refocused on her breakfast which she seemed to be enjoying immensely. Shortly thereafter Urshi showed in Jeremy, James, and Michael, who sat down to have tea with us. \"So where do we begin?\" asked Michael. \"First we go and see if the lab is going to insist I do a full calibration, or if it will let us get by with the fast one. After that, we each swab the insides of our cheeks for a tissue sample, and I start looking for commonalities and anomalies between us. Fortunately for us, I had done a full spectrum DNA profile on myself before I ever left, and it is stored in the computer. So we can see if there are changes in my profile.\" The men nodded their understanding of this, and we went over to the building to find the lab almost fully recharged. Fortunately the computer only required a fast calibration, and after 10 minutes I scraped the inside of my cheek with a wooden swab, and placed it on an analysis slide and into the machine. While it began gathering the data, I prepared slides from the men and Bimma. \"This full spectrum breakdown is going to take a while I am afraid. This is a great little machine, but it does need time to do what it does, so this may take a few hours apiece for the full analysis. We are looking at a few days at least I think.\" The men nodded at this. \"We have waited a long time for an opportunity like this,\" said James. \"In truth, neither Michael or I ever would have believed that something like your arrival would ever happen, so I think we can be patient.\" From there the men began to question me closely on my training and the changes in the world of medicine and biology since they had come here. The conversation went far afield and sometimes grew very technical. Bimma and Jeremy sat quietly during this listening, but seldom interrupting. By the mid-afternoon, the lab had gathered all the data from the slides and now faced the daunting task of doing the analysis on all five of us. I let it continue to run, and knew I would have to shut it down and restart it in the morning. We talked a bit longer before the men returned to the house of Numassa, and Jeremy home to Shara. Bimma and I went home then too. By now we held hands whenever we were together, it just seemed natural, but I was noticing that we were often taken notice of by other villagers passing by, particularly the women. \"Am I really such a novelty because of the way I came here?\" I asked Bimma. \"Women like the unusual and the exotic just like men do,\" answered Bimma with a smile, \"and too, every woman wants to have healthy children, and the introduction of new blood is seen as a good thing. This is actually another reason why marriages to other villages are often encouraged. It is known that marriages too closely in families for long can cause sickly children, and having a healthy family is seen as a good thing here.\" \"So are you looking forward to being a mother?\" I asked her then. \"Of course I want to be a mother! I want nothing more than to present you with children, and my parents with grandchildren. I have been told that being pregnant is such a wonderful state of being that I want very much to experience it.\" \"Well that attitude is pretty universal anywhere it the world it seems,\" I responded. \"For us it means barely touching the ground for the time of the pregnancy,\" she said then. \"What do you mean by that?\" \"When my sister Quona was pregnant the first time I went to stay with her until the baby was born. It was she who told me of the wonderful feelings. During her time she could not help but be inflated more than is usual. In fact it becomes very difficult to lose all the gas for bathing, her body just kept trying to re-inflate as soon as she would get to where she could wade into the water. It made for very short bathing times,\" she laughed. \"And, it is the only time when we do not lose our gas when we sleep.\" \"You lose the gas when you sleep?\" I asked curiously. \"Oh yes,\" she answered. \"When you inflate yourself to drift up near the ceiling of the sleeping room it is the most wonderful feeling, you will see. But while we sleep the gas seeps out of us and we slowly come down. You have not seen it yet, but the floor of the sleeping room is covered with soft mats for us to settle on when we come down while sleeping. But a pregnant woman does not descend while asleep, she stays in the air until she awakens. I remember sharing the room with Quona, and I would always awaken looking up at her in the morning. I remember thinking that is wasn't fair. It is a sign of good fortune when you awaken and have not descended to the floor.\" By now we were again sitting on the bench in front of her house and I reached over to rub her back. Urshi came out of the house then to regard us for a moment with her shrewd look and then sat next to me. I had a brief visual of someone taking a picture of me sitting between these two very beautiful, but enormously fat women, and the kind of jerks that would think it funny to spread a picture like it all over the internet. But after a moment, I realized I wouldn't have cared, I was the one that was really in the best spot in life. On impulse I reached around and gave Urshi a hug. She reacted with some surprise, but smiled shyly. \"Thought it seemed like a good idea to let my future mother in law know I cared about her too,\" I said with a smile. Urshi actually blushed and looked down at her huge breasts as Bimma giggled. At dinner that evening, which was just the four of us, the atmosphere was quite happy. Urshi and Kubar were both more talkative than usual, and shared the telling of some funny stories that could have happened nowhere else but this island. I had to admit to myself then that I had never felt so good about life, nor in better company since I had left the house I shared with my cousin. As Kubar was pouring out the cups of after dinner drink that seemed to be the norm here, there was a knock on the door frame. Bincy stood there for a moment, and Urshi motioned her to come in. As usual Bincy was much larger than anyone typically was. She looked like she was ready to float off at any minute as she waddled in, I noticed that her partially inflated legs vanished at the knee level and she came close to filling the wide doorway as she entered. \"Good evening everybody,\" Bincy chirped happily. \"I just got back from East village.\" Bimma looked surprised at that. \"East village? At this time of year?\" Kubar nodded. \"Today was a day of unusual winds,\" he said. \"How long was the flight?\" \"Much longer than usual,\" Bincy replied happily. \"Because the winds were fickle for a time, we passed right over Deep Valley village, and that one is almost impossible this time of year. I thought we were going to be aloft until tomorrow, but the winds picked up and changed direction in time to get us home just a short while ago. I have mail for you Kubar.\" Urshi poured out a cup of liquor for Bincy as she handed Kubar a leather pouch. She sat on an empty bench and sipped her cup as Kubar opened the pouch. Several packets of paper where there, all sealed with wax. Kubar handed one to Bimma, and one to Urshi. \"From Trina,\" he said by way of explanation. Bimma squealed happily as she broke her letter open and began to read. \"Trina said to tell you how much she loves and misses you all,\" said Bincy then. \"I miss her a lot too, so I was really happy when we got to take the transport from Lagoon to East village. Trina and I were best friends.\" \"Bincy when are you going to settle down and have a baby?\" Urshi asked her. \"I can't help it Urshi, I just love flying so much,\" came back Bincy. \"Yuri does too, but maybe not as much as me.\" \"Bincy, no one I know loves being a balloon more than you,\" said Bimma absently still reading her letter from her sister. \"Thank you Bimma, that is the nicest thing I have heard all day!\" With that Bincy finished her drink and wished them all a good evening as she left. I sat there then sipping my drink while everyone read their mail. Then on an impulse I got up and went over to check on the lab, as I wanted to shut it down before sundown. I was happy that with the solar panels help it still had more than half a charge in the batteries. Kwon was there then looking at the computer display. I explained to him what the machine was doing, and showed him the display where we could look at the DNA profiles, and explained that this could give clues to what made people and the plants here so much different than the rest of the world. He listened with interest and nodded when I started explaining about chemical structures and the properties that could be very different from very similar compounds. He let me lecture him for a time, then excused himself and strolled off. By now the light was growing dim, so I shut the lab down and went back to the house. It was dark by now and the stars were out. The view of the sky was so much better here with the clear air and the lack of so much lighting that I was used to from city life. Bimma was still at the table happily re-reading the letter from her sister, and had a pad next to her where she had started to draft a reply. I came up behind her and started to rub her back. She was soft, yet very firm, like you would expect a partially inflated balloon to feel, and she made noises of contentment as I massaged her. \"That feels so nice,\" she said finally. \"No one has rubbed my back since I was a child.\" \"Perhaps you should get used to it,\" I suggested. \"But I should probably be careful, I don't want your parents to walk in and offend their sensibilities.\" Bimma laughed at that. \"Steven, I am a grown woman, and while my Father may pretend that isn't so, my Mother certainly is aware of it! She made sure we all knew the facts of life long before we needed to do first hand research as it were.\" \"So where are your parents now?\" I asked. \"They need to have a talk with Numassa about the local politics,\" she answered. \"The local politics? Could that possibly have anything to do with you and me?\" \"Some if it probably will. Since my father has made the decision that we can marry, Numassa needs to be informed. Again because of the connections between villages, it is important that the chief be aware of what is going on with those that often serve as liaisons to the other villages. Also, one of the letters Father got had to do with a wedding that will be happening soon, and he and Mother, along with Numassa and Lisha must attend\" \"So where is the wedding, and do you have to go also?\" I asked. \"The wedding is at Sky village,\" she answered, \"and I have told Father that I really don't want to go. Father will make some excuse for me, but he knows that I don't want to see either of my two former suitors, and that I would rather stay with you. As yet, it wouldn't be appropriate for you to attend, and you are not ready to fly yet anyway. I know at least two of my sisters will be there with their husbands, so our family will be well represented. Really there is no one special at Sky village that I want to see, although I would like to see my sisters again, but they will be here for our wedding.\" She finished with a smile. \"So are you telling Trina of our impending marriage?\" I asked. \"Of course, she is my sister. She will know not to share the information before Father makes it public, but I have not heard from Ayesha or Quona in a while, so I am always happy to write back when I get a letter from them. This is news that sisters would always share, we all were the first to know when Ayesha agreed to marry. We talked so late in the night that Mother had to keep yelling up into the sleeping room for us to be quiet. Try telling that to four excited girls!\" I laughed at that and rubbed Bimma's back some more as she wrote to her sister. After a moment I remembered something. \"Your Mother said that news of my arrival was known all over the island within a week.\" Bimma nodded as she wrote. \"Probably less than that. There were two transport crews here on the day the word came to us that you were there on that beach. Even though they left here before we had made arrangements to bring you in, they surely carried word of a new arrival away with them. Since then news of your progress since coming here has also surely been talked about by other transport crews coming and going. Gossip is a major part of the communications here, as I have been told is quite common among cultures like ours. Secrets are only kept within families. Depending on how your research goes, and once James and Michael return to Sky village with news of what has been learned, you may well receive invitations to visit other villages and talk of your findings. This would not be uncommon, although I have no memory of it happening here, I have heard stories.\" I thought about this as I continued to rub Bimma's wide fat back. Kubar and Urshi returned shortly after that. \"We shall be leaving in four days,\" Kubar told us. \"How far will your work have progressed by then?\" \"I think I will have some significant findings by then,\" I replied, still rubbing Bimma's back. \"When is the wedding?\" \"The wedding is not for over a week, but the winds won't be favorable until then, and are likely not to be favorable for travel to Sky village for days after, so we must travel when the gods favor us,\" Kubar finished with a smile, showing no disapproval at my attention to Bimma. \"How long does it take to get to Sky village?\" I asked then. \"With favorable winds and flying freely, as opposed to being part of a transport, the trip can be as little as one hour, but that is with strong winds. Such flights are not always pleasant. If I am right, we will have gentle winds in four days and the trip should take a few hours.\" \"What is the farthest distance between villages?\" I asked curiously. \"From here it is probably to East village. That becomes reasonable only during late in the low rainy season and high summer season when more winds blow out of the west. You were lucky the night we brought you here in that the storm came in from the west and thus made your transport easy, but most often the winds blow west to east at the seasons I told you. Even with favorable winds, it can take most of a day to get to East village, since as you may have heard Bincy say, the winds can be fickle in some places over this island. For this reason Deep Valley village can be a difficult trip because near there is where the winds are most fickle. You will learn much about it all when you have fully become a native I expect.\" Kubar finished with a chuckle. Bimma walked me to the room that had become mine and gave me a kiss goodnight, and went off to float into the sleeping room. I was obviously still being affected by the change as the last thing I remembered was pulling the blanket over me, and the sound of distant thunder. I awoke much later in the night to the sound of a powerful storm going on outside. The low eaves of the awning like projections over my window opening kept the rain out, but the wind blew chill into my room. I got up and took another blanket off the shelf and turned to go back to my hammock when Bimma came in the room, wrapped in a blanket just as a flash of lightning lit up the room and a rolling peal of thunder seemed to make the house shake. \"Are you alright Steven?\" she asked. \"I'm fine, the storm woke me up and it is chilly in here, so I was getting another blanket,\" I replied. \"Can I stay here with you?\" she asked. \"This wind in the sleeping room is making it cold and uncomfortable.\" I took her hand and led her over to the hammock and we snuggled under the blankets. Another flash of lightning and peal of thunder and she shivered. \"Not a good night for balloons to be out,\" I whispered to her and wrapped my arms around her. \"I hate storms like this,\" she said, and shivered again. With that she snuggled in closer to me and fell asleep, and I dozed off thinking how comfortable it was to have her so close. When I awoke again the rain was still pouring down, and the wind still bent the trees outside. It was early morning and Bimma was still lying comfortably with me under the blankets, and as she had told me happened, she felt smaller than the night before. I lay there and thought about all that had happened in the last almost a month. It would make a great fantasy tale I thought, except it was real. It was real. Add the fact that I was to be married to Bimma, and it made it even harder to believe. I felt like I had hit the lifetime lottery, and with that thought I dozed off yet again with Bimma in my arms. When we both finally woke up again it was still raining, but the wind had calmed and there was no further thunder and lightning. Bimma shifted in my arms under the blanket. \"So this is what it is like to wake up with my husband,\" she said sleepily. \"I think I could get to like this.\" \"Hope no one walks in on us,\" I remarked. \"They won't,\" she assured me. \"Since there is so little privacy here in so many ways, some courtesies are observed within a house. And so what if they did? We have done nothing for them to be concerned about.\" \"That is true, isn't it?\" I said then. \"Guess we missed our opportunity.\" She giggled at that. \"We will have all the time in the world, soon enough.\" With that she swung out of the hammock to stand and look down at herself. \"This will not do at all,\" she said then, and proceeded to inflate back to what I thought of as her normal size. \"How do you know how big to get?\" I asked, genuinely curious. \"You just get a feel for where you are comfortable,\" she answered. \"I'm not sure when that happens, but I have known what feels right for me now for years. Of course it is different for everyone. You have noticed I am sure how much larger Bincy likes to be than most people.\" I nodded and smiled at this. Bincy was obviously one of those people that liked being different I told Bimma. She laughed at this. \"Yes, Bincy and my sister Trina were best friends, and Bincy has always been the way she is now. The building where your lab is was reconstructed years ago because of a boy that said he could get bigger faster than Bincy, which was foolish because women can always get big faster than men, but Bincy took him seriously and they both inflated themselves to where they knocked the walls out of the building and it collapsed.\" \"They were inside the building?\" I asked incredulously. \"Oh yes, but you must remember how young adults can be, and that was the kind of challenge Bincy could not back down from. She was inflating almost before the last word of the challenge came out. The idea that they might get big enough to knock down the building never entered either of their minds. Bincy and the boy were disciplined seriously of course.\" \"What happened to the boy, and what sort of discipline was it?\" I asked curiously. \"His name is Yuri, and he is now her husband,\" Bimma answered with a laugh. At that I had to laugh. \"Love is a very strange thing sometimes,\" I said, and gave Bimma a long kiss. \"As for the discipline, they were made to drink a special herbal tea that makes you return to normal size and keeps you from inflating. It can take months to wear off. Bincy was absolutely miserable,\" finished Bimma. For the first time since I had been staying in the house Kubar was actually at the table when Bimma and I came out to the kitchen area. He looked up briefly and nodded to us and went back to writing something on a pad in front of him. Urshi brought tea to us as we sat down and joined us. \"Bimma has told me that you wish to write a letter to a relative to tell them you are alive and safe,\" Kubar said then. \"Yes, that is so,\" I answered. \"My cousin, who is my closest relative would surely be worried if she learned that I may have been lost at sea.\" \"If you write a letter, and can address it properly, it may be that I can see to it that it finds its way to the next visiting ship, and from there to the mail of the outside world,\" he responded. \"I don't think I will get much done with the lab today, but I may see if there is enough power to continue the analysis we started, but that does not need any supervision. So I can take the time to write the letter,\" I replied. Urshi brought us food then and we had a quiet breakfast. I went over to the building where the lab was, and was happy to discover that even though it was cloudy and raining, some power was being made by the solar panel, so I restarted the lab unit and it went back to work on the different tissue studies. It gave me an estimated time of completion for that afternoon, so I went back to the house and sat by Bimma at the table and began a letter to my cousin. While I wrote I thought about what Bimma had said about her thought that my cousin would be happy here. I realized as I thought about it that I had told Bimma everything about Laura, or Loona, and she was probably right. Loona had had a fetish for balloons and an inflation fantasy since we were kids. It was actually funny I thought, that her cousin was about to become a real human balloon while she was pretending it. But as I wrote, I decided not to go into that part of my new life. Some things need to be eased into I thought, and some things just have to be experienced. So I told Loona the truth about getting caught in the storm, and getting blown off course to an island that was not part of the program. I told her that I had found that this place was more interesting for me, and that the native people were wonderful, and I had decided to stay here. I hesitated then for a time, but decided that I needed to be honest with my only family member I was close to. So I told her about meeting Bimma, and told her she was the most beautiful woman I had ever known, and that I was going to marry her. I said she shouldn't worry about me, but it was important that she know what had happened, and that meeting and marrying Bimma was why I really wanted to stay where I was. I re-read what I had written carefully. It seemed to say everything I needed it to. \"Very nice letter Steven,\" said Bimma from over my shoulder. \"From Jeremy you can get an envelope, which you will need to send it to the mail outside.\" \"I was told that there was some sort of trading involved to compensate for the sending of the letters,\" I said. \"That is true,\" said Urshi, \"but Jeremy and Shara will also be going to the wedding as it involves one of her sisters that is getting married. The villagers of South and Lagoon villages have certain agreements with the captains of the rare ships that come which enable trading with them. Since the father of Shara is the shaman of South village, he will be able to see that your letter is sent properly. Though it seems a small thing, it is such connections that enable this thing that is very important to you.\" I nodded at this and asked Bimma if she would take me to where Jeremy and Shara lived. Bimma led me out into the rain which had slowed to a drizzle by then, but the trees we walked under kept most of the rain off. It had warmed since last night's chilly winds, and so was not unpleasant. It was not a long walk, and as usual, Bimma took my hand as we walked to the tidy structure where Jeremy and Shara lived. Bimma knocked on the door frame, and a young boy pulled back the drape and looked up at us. \"Bimma!\" he exclaimed happily. He turned into the house then, \"Mom, Bimma is here with someone!\" A moment later Shara was there, pulling back the drape and ushering us inside. Their home was smaller than Kubar's, but very neat. Jeremy and a small girl sat at the table near the cozy warmth of the kitchen stove. Jeremy looked up as we came in. \"Steven, Bimma, welcome! Please sit down,\" he invited. So we sat, and I explained why we were there. Jeremy went to an area further back in the house and returned with two envelopes, one normal looking, and the other larger and of heavier material. He explained that such mails were better sent within heavier envelopes. He then instructed me to write to Loona with instructions on how to send mail back via the captain of whatever ship the mail might find its way back on. \"It is a tedious way to communicate I will admit,\" said Jeremy, \"but as I have told you, very few ships stop here, and then only when they are in the right lanes. But over time the chiefs and others of South and Lagoon villages have formed some working relationships with the few ships that do come.\" \"What about compensation for the service?\" I asked. \"I shall take care of that,\" put in Shara then. \"I shall see my father at the wedding of my sister Neery, and he will take care of it.\" \"So you need nothing more from me?\" I asked. \"Let us just say Steven, that your credit is good with us,\" said Jeremy with a smile. The boy and the girl sat at the table looking at us quietly when suddenly the girl piped up: \"Are you the new person that got here like my Dad?\" \"Yes, that would be me.\" I answered, \"and what is your name?\" \"I'm Sheila, and this is my brother Thomas,\" she replied. \"I see,\" I answered, \"I am Steven, and you know Bimma.\" \"Is Bimma your girlfriend?\" she asked then. Bimma blushed at that, but I told her: \"Yes Sheila, Bimma is my girlfriend.\" \"You are so lucky,\" said Thomas then. \"Yes, I think you are right about that Thomas.\" I said with a smile. \"Enough children, you have chores to do, and then there is school,\" said Shara to them then. \"How does education work here?\" I asked curiously. \"At younger ages like for Sheila and Thomas there is a communal hut where they are taught the basics of reading and writing and basic math skills,\" said Shara. \"And as they progress they are encouraged to think about what interests them. We try to get an idea of inherent skills as they grow, and often we encourage them to pursue the things they find they are good at. At that point we have members of the community that provide more specialized education for them.\" By now I had finished the instructions Jeremy told me to provide and placed the letter in the envelope and addressed it. At his direction, I placed this in the larger envelope and wrote the same address on it. \"The captain of the ship it goes out on will write the details of the ship on the back so it can be addressed for a return letter,\" Jeremy explained. \"But I am going to tell you once again that responses can take months.\" \"I can appreciate that, but if it gets through at all in a reasonable time, I will be happy,\" I answered. \"How are things progressing in the analysis?\" asked Jeremy, changing the subject. \"When last I checked the machine is still doing the DNA spectrum profiles, fortunately it seems that even on a cloudy day the solar panel makes some juice, so I restarted it this morning. It may be done by this afternoon sometime.\" I answered. \"That would be good,\" replied Jeremy. \"That way James and Michael can have some solid information to take back to Sky with them when we leave to go to the wedding.\" \"Are you going Bimma?\" Shara asked then. Bimma shook her head. \"Between my parents and two of my sisters I think my family will be well represented,\" she answered. \"Bentar will be very disappointed you know,\" Shara said. \"Shara, you know quite well that I really do not care for Bentar. He is arrogant and very full of himself. The only thing that he is impressed with is himself, and the fact that he is the heir apparent to become the next chief of South village. The last time we met at a celebration he was like an octopus, only more slimy.\" Bimma replied with some disgust. Shara laughed at that. \"Yes, I can see that. My sister tells me that he has gotten no better, and she is happy to be marrying to Sky village.\" \"I think Neery will be happy to be away from South village,\" said Bimma then, \"and please do tell her that I wish her all the best and that I am sorry to not attend.\" \"I will do so Bimma,\" Shara promised. We left then, and returned to the house of Kubar. James, Michael and Numassa sat at the table with Kubar with mugs of tea in front of them. Bimma and I sat down as Urshi joined us with more tea. \"So, anything to report yet?\" asked James. \"It appears that the final analysis' will be completed this afternoon,\" I replied. \"Then we will have some comparison work to do, but I think many questions will get answered today.\" \"Excellent, you have no idea how much this means to us,\" said Michael excitedly. \"Unanswered questions can be maddening.\" XI That afternoon, as the rain continued to fall, we gathered around my lab unit and watched as the analysis patterns for everyone appeared on the screen. I carefully applied filters to remove non-relevant data, and the patterns became more simplified. Differences also became more obvious. The most obviously different pattern belonged to my profile that had been done before I had ever left America. Further inspection allowed us to identify the specific area of the DNA chain that was modified as again, my original pattern compared with my recent one showed the differences, most of which were the same in everyone else's profile. \"It appears you are right about one thing gentlemen,\" I said then. \"The DNA of everyone here has been altered quite dramatically in a few areas. Since the genome is still far from being accurately sequenced, it is anyone's guess about how many areas of our anatomy and physiology have been affected. My guess would be that in addition to the obvious changes that you have pointed out, there are probably some much more subtle effects besides, like the shift in some organs functions to allow gas to absorb and be released through the respiratory system, and the function of being able to liberate hydrogen and helium from water and whatever other means in the body it is stored.\" James and Michael were both smiling broadly. \"We knew it was a plausible theory, but to have it confirmed like this is like winning a Nobel prize,\" said James. \"What are you doing now?\" he asked, seeing me making adjustments to the display. I didn't answer right away, only stared at the screen for a long moment. \"Once again you seem to have been correct,\" I told them. \"I also added a couple of tissue samples from a few local fruits, such as those I ate when I first got here, and there is a specific RNA chain that is quite consistent with a virus. It is present in all of the samples.\" \"So then,\" said James slowly, \"once the virus is in your system, it appears that it moves very rapidly. It certainly doesn't hurt that every time you eat, you ingest more of it, and since it promotes the change it does, naturally your body calls for more and more food. Once it gets started it appears that it is a one way trip. Once changed, you are changed forever, just like we thought.\" \"Are you saying you would actually want to change back?\" asked Bimma incredulously. \"I? No!\" answered James, \"but you have to understand Bimma, that when such ideas as this are examined, all questions you can think of to do with it must be asked, even if you may not like the answers.\" \"Such as,\" put in Michael, \"can a person be given a vaccine against the virus?\" \"Possibly,\" I answered, \"but I really don't have any interest in investigating that; and besides, what purpose would that serve? Only to allow someone coming here to eat native food without the virus affecting them? I suspect that people from the ships have eaten the fruit from here on occasions, but never got the full effect because they did not have the reinforcement of eating it steadily for a period of days. It might be interesting to see if I can calculate just how much you have to ingest to ensure the change. I suspect that if you got enough in you, the change could be propagated if enough normal food was about to eat.\" \"So gentlemen,\" I said then, \"are you satisfied for the moment?\" \"Absolutely,\" they responded together. \"But,\" went on Michael, \"you do know we will probably come up with more questions that will require your help in answering?\" At this I smiled. \"I certainly hope so Michael, as I would hate for my skills, or even my desire to learn start to atrophy. But I have a few questions for you.\" \"Please, ask away,\" said Michael. \"In my time here, I have seen some people enlarge to some hugely impressive size, has anyone ever popped?\" I asked. \"Interesting that every new arrival asks this question,\" said James then. \"But I can tell you that no one here has ever heard of such a thing happening, nor did we ever find anything even remotely alluding to it in the histories. We can tell you that in our own investigations of ourselves that our skin doesn't exactly take on the qualities of a balloon in a way in which you are familiar. What seems to be the case is that while your skin does become rubbery and resilient, the multi-cellular nature of your skin seems to become more homogenous, and when you are inflated, each cell becomes a tiny balloon in itself. This forms the outer layer of your skin which when inflated becomes quite thick with gas, then the inflation effect seems to become more internal. Which is why, even if you should somehow become cut or wounded while inflated, only tiny amounts of gas escape from the localized area along with blood of course.\" \"Very interesting,\" I said, \"as the getting wounded question was what I was going to ask next. I also have heard that there are a number of things that can affect the ability both internal and external.\" James laughed out loud at that. \"Oh yes,\" he said after a moment. \"The most obvious being an adrenaline rush; can have you in the air very quickly. Pregnant women have all sorts of things affected by the condition, and go about in a state of imminent floating for the duration, like any normal person, hormones and the things that stimulate them can affect us. There are even certain local herbs that can affect it, in either a positive or negative way.\" \"I think when we have time again I would like to possibly start to do some cataloging of such things, as well as the different effects under certain circumstances,\" I said then. \"Actually,\" put in Michael, \"there already are some such catalogs, at least as far as local herbs and the like. The shamans have made quite a study of such things since the founding of this place.\" I looked at Bimma, and she nodded at this. \"My Father would be able to tell you much,\" she said. \"A project for later, doing an analysis of the different herbal properties of plants unique to this island could prove very useful,\" I said very thoughtfully. \"Indeed it would, and we offer our collaborative assistance,\" said James. \"But for now we are very happy that you have verified our theory of modified DNA as the cause of the unusual adaptation of the people here. We must be leaving for Sky village as soon as the winds are right for travel, but please accept our deepest appreciations for your work.\" \"Very happy to help,\" I said as we shook hands all around. I then printed copies of all the profile analysis' for them to take with them. We returned then to Kubar's house, and he insisted we all have a drink and tell him all the details of our findings. When we were finishing with my mentioning the possibility of doing an analysis of the local plants and herbs, he looked surprised. \"Now that is something that I had not thought of, and it may well be much more important than your explanation for why we are different. After we return from the wedding we shall discuss this at length.\" James, Michael, and Jeremy excused themselves then, as Urshi began to prepare for the evening meal. Bimma appeared to be very happy as she bounced up to help her Mother with dinner. By then the skies had cleared, and a warm breeze was blowing through the house. \"It seems that the winds are shifting sooner than I expected,\" Kubar said then to Bimma and me. \"We are likely going to leave tomorrow afternoon if conditions appear right. Bimma will keep an eye on you,\" he said with a smile. Bimma giggled at that as she put dinner on the table and sat down next to me. Not long after dinner I was tired, so I excused myself and went to the room that had become mine. I was asleep quickly, but awoke later to find Bimma climbing into the hammock beside me.\n\"I was trying not to wake you,\" she whispered. \"Kind of hard with a hammock,\" I laughed as I slid over to make more room for my fat girlfriend. She pulled a blanket over us and snuggled in, and I gave a lick and a kiss to the nipple of the enormous breast I found in my face. Bimma giggled at that. \"There will be plenty of time for getting to know each other much better after tomorrow,\" she whispered, and kissed me. The morning came with clear skies and warm breezes coming from the west. As we came into the kitchen/dining area Urshi greeted us happily and even gave me a kiss on the cheek. She poured tea for us and fussed about the kitchen making breakfast. \"Your Mother seems awfully happy this morning,\" I whispered to Bimma. \"Mother loves weddings, and she has not traveled in a while so she is probably looking forward to just getting away for a bit,\" Bimma told me. Urshi was putting another breakfast with many choices on the table when Kubar came in rubbing his eyes. \"We shall leave early this afternoon,\" he told us as he sat down and helped himself to some breakfast. \"I will be ready,\" Urshi told him. After breakfast I went over to the lab and saw to it that it was still recharging. I rechecked some of the things I had gone through quickly the day before, and once satisfied I went for a walk around a bit. By now being the only normal sized person in a community of human balloons didn't really seem to bother me much. Of course at some point I was going to become like them I reminded myself. I wondered what it would feel like when it happened. By now I had wandered into the clearing where Bimma had demonstrated her ability to me. I was looking up at the netting above when I saw a large shadow rising up from the area where we had seen the transport land before. It was another transport, and as I watched the round shadows above grew larger and larger, and it gained altitude. At a point where I suspected it cleared the tree line the wind began to move it in an eastward direction, and it was out of sight from where I stood in minutes. Even though I knew this was common here, it still had a surreal quality to it. As I turned to head back down the path three young girls were coming up toward the clearing. They appeared to be teenagers and were laughing and giggling as they approached. They smiled and greeted me. I smiled back and introduced myself as Steven and told them I was the new arrival. \"We know who you are,\" said one. \"We see you with Bimma all the time.\" She then introduced herself as Lissy, and her friends were Lora, and Zena. \"Pleased to meet you,\" I said then, noticing that as young girls they were not nearly so large as I was used to seeing people be here. \"So what are you girls up to?\" I asked then. \"This place is for fun and practice,\" said Zena, \"so once school was done we decided to come up here.\" \"Practice?\" I asked, confused. \"We have to work at getting big,\" said Lora then by way of explanation. As she said this Lissy closed her eyes and appeared to concentrate, and slowly started to expand. In a minute she had boobs that any exotic dancer would envy, and after a minute more she was the size of a sumo wrestler, and still she inflated. Lora and Zena had stepped away and began concentrating themselves, and in a space of two minutes all of them were drifting lazily away from the ground laughing and giggling. Even as they rose up to be stopped by the net above they continued to inflate themselves. I smiled up at them and waved as I turned and went down the path back to the village. So now I understood what this area was made for I thought as I walked. Bimma met me partway down the path with a disapproving look on her face. \"So where have you been?\" she scolded me. \"I have been looking for you!\" \"Just went for a walk,\" I told her, \"and I don't think you have to worry about me getting too much unwanted attention, unless you are concerned about teenage girls. In fact, they just gave me a learning experience.\" \"What do you mean?\" she asked suspiciously. \"I just watched as they explained about this area up there being for fun and practice. I had wondered just what it was for, and they explained to me about having to learn how to put the ability into practice and use it.\" \"I would have explained all of that to you,\" she answered back. \"Yes, but sometimes it is better to find out on your own,\" I returned. \"Please don't worry so much Bimma, there is no one I am going to find more interesting here than you.\" That seemed to mollify her, and she took my hand and led me back to the village telling me: \"Mother and Father are getting ready to leave, so we must walk with them to see them off.\" On our arrival back at the house we found Kubar and Urshi placing things in what appeared to be knapsack like affairs, but with some elaborate straps made of the same material that the native skirt like garments were made of. I presumed these were to allow for carrying things while flying. On the heels of this thought, another occurred to me that I had been meaning to ask. \"Kubar,\" I said then, \"do you have some sort of razor I can use? I am tired of this scruffy beard I have been growing.\" Kubar regarded me for a moment and then smiled. \"You won't need a razor soon enough,\" he told me. \"What do you mean?\" I asked. \"Steven,\" he said then, \"since your arrival here, have you seen anyone with a beard, or any facial hair at all?\" I shook my head mutely. \"Another aspect of our uniqueness is that we have no body hair except on our heads and our eyebrows,\" he explained to me. \"By the time the change has fully manifested in you, all your body hair will have fallen out too.\" I stared at him a moment, and unconsciously my hand reached down the front of my skirt to feel around down there. What I felt told me that I was as clean down there as if I had been waxed. I looked down and my legs, while tan, were equally devoid of any hair, an inspection of my armpits proved the same to be true. The look on my face must again have been priceless as Bimma and Urshi erupted in gales of laughter at my self-inspection. An instant later Kubar joined them, and after a bit I had to laugh as well. I briefly wondered how many other oddities would show themselves to do with this. Kubar and Urshi finished with what items they were putting in what I was thinking of as their travel bags and Bimma again took my hand as we walked across the village to the path leading to the clearing and then on up to where flights seemed to begin and end. As we cut across the clearing I looked up to see Lissy, Lora, and Zena still up there, larger now than before. They waved to us as we walked through and I heard one yelling to the others: \"My boobs are bigger than yours!...............\" Urshi shook her head and looked down at her own massive boobs, \"children,\" she said, and I had to laugh. We arrived at the open area with its view of the village from one side and the vast open expanse of the island looking east to find Numassa with Lisha, and James and Michael already there. Like Kubar and Urshi, they also had travel bags with them. \"Good to see you one last time,\" said James, coming up and shaking my hand. \"We are just waiting on Jeremy and Shara.\" Within minutes Jeremy and Shara waddled up. They all then pulled the straps of their baggage over and around them in a way I could see wouldn't allow them to come off once they had inflated. Then as pairs, they attached tether lines to each other, Kubar and Urshi, James and Michael, Numassa and Lisha, and Jeremy and Shara. This I watched with interest, and it made some sense to me, but I was curious about one thing, so I asked Bimma: \"Why do they attach in pairs? Wouldn't it make more sense to bind everyone together?\" \"If the winds become fickle, it would be easier to entangle everyone if they were all tied together,\" she explained. \"As pairs it is much easier to avoid this problem.\" I was thinking about this as all the travelers began to enlarge and become rounder. I noticed that even the men became massively busty as they grew larger and larger. As I was told would happen, the women all became well inflated faster, and all had left the ground before the men. But after a moment more, all of them were airborne. They inflated themselves yet more, and rose higher into the sky. As they approached the level of the trees canopy, they began to move eastward. Higher still they rose and the winds effect became more pronounced as they moved away from the village faster now. They seemed to reach both a cruising altitude and speed and we watched as they grew smaller in the distance. Bimma took my hand then and we turned and went back down the path. \"Did you want to go to the wedding?\" I asked as we walked, \"tell the truth.\" \"I would have liked to see my sisters,\" she answered, \"but no, the wedding held not a lot of appeal for me. I would have seen a lot of people I knew, yes, but really I want much more to be here with you. Now it is just us here. What do you think of that?\" I answered without any hesitation: \"I think that is what I have wanted since I knew I wanted you to be my wife.\" So we walked slowly back to the village still holding hands. I kept looking up at the sky as we walked, although I knew those just departed were long out of view. I began to wonder about some things then. \"What are you thinking about Steven?\" Bimma asked. \"I was trying to imagine what it is like to just be able to rise up in the air and go where the winds take you.\" I answered slowly. \"The view from up there looking down as the land passes beneath you must be an incredible thing. I am also trying to imagine what it is like to just be floating like you do when you get inflated to where you leave the ground. In a way it is scary to me, the idea of just drifting upward like that with nothing supporting you.\" \"Yes, it is a bit scary when you do leave the ground for the first time,\" she told me, \"but that is why we created those places with the high nets so you can get over your early shock and fear. Even though we know it will happen to us from seeing it happen as children, and of course we look forward to that time when we inflate the first time, the thrill of your first drifting in the air is still unnerving to say the least.\" \"Tell me about your first time,\" I asked. \"I was 15, almost 16 when I inflated the first time,\" she said. \"For girls it usually happens at a slightly younger age. The first time you inflate it is a very strange feeling through your whole body, even though you know it is going to happen, and of course friends that it happened to first tell you what it felt like, but still that doesn't prepare you adequately. The first time you inflate is like your body adjusting to it, and I have never heard of anyone leaving the ground in their early inflations, almost like your body has to get stretched out a bit. Quona and I were up in the sleeping room, and she was playing by working at inflating different parts of herself, which takes a lot of practice by the way, and I was looking on all envious as it hadn't happened to me yet. So she was blowing up her belly and boobs in front of the mirror to see what she might look like when she got pregnant someday. So I was sulking on the other side of the sleeping room, which I had to climb up to by the way, and because my back was turned, I didn't see Trina come floating up into the sleeping room. Just so you know, Trina was always the one among us that would play practical jokes and pranks. She apparently sized up the situation and decided that I needed a good scare, so she shrieked as loud as she could, which actually brought neighbors over to see what happened. For me it was a sudden chill down my back and suddenly I was laying on my back with my legs blowing up under me and my boobs and belly thrusting out in front of me, my ass pushed me up from the floor, and I just lay there not realizing for a moment what had really happened. My sisters where laughing so hard at me as I was trying to make sense of what was going on. When I got to my senses and after some effort actually righted myself I was very angry at first, but then they came over and hugged me, and told me how happy they were that it had finally happened for me, so I was able to forgive them quickly. I was actually happy now that I finally had inflated, and they encouraged me to get bigger. I didn't actually float that day, but I did, with their encouragement, work at inflating different parts of myself, and enjoying the feeling. They were very happy for me, and after I got over the initial shock, I was quite happy myself.\" \"That night Mother made a little celebration for me, like she had done for my sisters when it had happened to them. It is like your passage into adulthood here. That is when Father took down the ladder to the sleeping room as an incentive to get me to learn to float of course. Since he told us he was doing that the next day Trina and Quona took me to that practice area to work at it. As I worked at getting bigger and bigger they would shout down to me from the net how lovely the view was from up there, but I was still a little scared by the idea. So Quona came down and kept encouraging me to get a little bigger each time, but it seemed like I couldn't quite get there until she started boasting that her boobs and ass were so much bigger than mine, and I was always going to be the littlest balloon in the family because I was the youngest. That set me off enough that I must have concentrated really hard at that moment and I suddenly felt myself stretch what felt like an impossible amount, but suddenly I was rising very quickly, not the slow drift upwards that you have seen, I really ballooned in a big way and rose straight up with Trina cheering me on from above me. I hit the net hard enough to stretch it upward, and then Quona came up and joined us. They both told me how proud they were of me then, and we just drifted around up there the rest of the day while I practiced getting smaller, and then bigger again.\" As she was telling me this I was trying to imagine it as it happened. The story had an amusing quality to it, and the only thing missing for my imagination was not being able to put faces on either of Bimma's sisters. I told her this, and that I would like very much to meet her sisters. \"Actually it is interesting,\" she said then, \"both Ayesha and myself more closely resemble Mother, while Trina and Quona seem to favor my Father. Of course when we are inflated we all resemble Mother,\" she finished with a laugh. \"How does your Father know about the weather and the winds?\" I asked then. \"It is part of the art of the shaman to know such things,\" she answered. \"I know that till now you have mostly seen the side of my Father that has to deal with relations between people, and of course he has told you of some of the politics he must deal with, but his knowledge of the herbs and plants native to here is quite vast, as with any of the village shamans. They do share such knowledge you know. The predicting of weather and winds is an art as well, he must spend time each day aloft to feel the patterns of the winds and weather. It is an ability that you are born with somewhat, but it also has to be practiced to master it.\" \"So from what I have been able to gather so far, the position of village chief is passed by heredity,\" I said then. Bimma nodded at this as we walked. \"If the chief has no sons, then the shaman and elder members of the village convene and select the best possible available men of the village as potential husbands for the oldest unmarried daughter of the chief in the event of his death. If he is old but still healthy, he himself may select a husband for his daughter, with the approval of the shaman and the elders, and he will become the next chief if the man and the daughter agree to marry. The shaman of the village however, is not a hereditary role. The shaman must identify those that have the gift of being able to read the winds and weather, and must be bright enough to appreciate the knowledge of the nature of this island and its plants and herbs as well. To that end he must select some apprentices and train them. This is something he does not speak about to anyone but them, so I have no knowledge of how this works, but I know that my Father has several apprentices. At a time when he becomes either too old, or desiring to pass along his position, Father will name his successor. Of course he and Mother, as well as his daughters will still be accorded the status of the position that he performed for his life.\" \"Can you read the winds Bimma?\" I asked then. \"Yes, I have inherited the gift,\" she answered slowly, \"and at least one of my sisters as well, but the office of shaman is held by a man in our culture. Many women here have knowledge and gifts, but we share them in a more humble fashion. While my Father has great knowledge of the herbs and plants, most healing is administered by women at his direction. Women here exert their influence quietly, but we do have some profound effects, and we are not a culture where a woman's life is dictated by the men. We do have choices about many things. Such as: I made clear that I did not wish to be married to either of the two men that were quite insistent with both me and my Father.\" \"Your Father loves you very much,\" I said then. Bimma laughed. \"Yes he does, and I am very lucky to have such wonderful parents as I do. He could have pressured me and my sisters to marry the men he felt were the best choices, but Father has never let politics stand in the way of our happiness, and if he did I think Mother would not be so interested in being such a good wife to him.\" \"Urshi is a very good woman I think,\" I said. \"Yes, Mother is a very good woman, and a very good wife, just like I will be,\" she replied with a smile. \"I am absolutely certain of that,\" I said with a smile, and then I put my arms around her and gave her a long kiss. She returned the kiss even though by now we were in the central area of the village. I really didn't care though, I wanted my fat fiancé to know that I was not concerned about any secrecy about how I felt. When we ended the kiss she looked around to see who might have been about before looking back up at me. \"So, not concerned about proprieties now?\" she asked with an impish smile. \"Not really, I wanted you to know that I am happy and don't care who knows that it is you I am happy to be with, and I don't care who can see it,\" I answered. \"Well then, we should go home. It will be dinner time soon, and I can make us an early dinner.\" We stopped on the way to check on my lab unit, which I had running a second analysis to double check on what I had already learned. It seemed that the results were consistent with what we had thought, and I was well on my way to being a human balloon. I still wasn't sure how I felt about that, but I was feeling better than I had in years. Of course, I thought, Bimma probably has a lot to do with that. With that we walked back to her parent's home. I restarted the fire in the small stove in the kitchen area while Bimma went out to the family garden and brought in vegetables for dinner. I came over to help her, and told her that in my world men would often help out with the cooking, but she would have none of it. \"Leave me to this Steven,\" she told me. \"I want to do this and know what it feels like to be a good wife. Go pour yourself a drink and relax. You have made a lot of people happy lately, so you should just let me take care of this.\" So I went over to the large dining table, sat down, and did what I was told while Bimma busied herself in the kitchen. The dinner Bimma prepared was as good as I had had so far in the house of Kubar, so I naturally remarked on how much I was enjoying it, and that her cooking was as good as her Mothers. \"Of course Steven,\" she replied. \"From whom do you think I learned to cook?\" Following our dinner we sat at the table and talked more. I told her more about my life and my growing up, and she told me about growing up here with her sisters. Sharing ourselves this way just seemed to be an easy thing just then, and I suddenly found myself nodding into my cup. \"I think that it is time for you to sleep again Steven,\" I heard Bimma telling me. \"Very soon this feeling of being so tired will pass, but it must run its course.\" Thinking at that moment that I had anticipated a more enjoyable evening than just passing out I raised my head to argue, but my vision at that moment would not focus, and I realized that she was right. I let her lead me to my room and had a final memory of a long kiss goodnight before I was asleep again." } ]

She blinks her emerald eyes against sleep, looking around the confines of the room at the same time. Where was she? She didn't know, and she began to panic. She wasn't sure what type of position she was in either; it felt like she was lying down on a very firm mattress, but was still comfortable. She couldn't tell, though, for she felt bonds on her wrists and ankles, chaining her to something. There was a collar around her neck too, holding her head straight so she couldn't look around her too well. She was naked and spread-eagle, her arms together and held up to whatever was above her, her tail also chained up through a hole in the mattress, leaving her ass exposed completely.\n\nShe squirms a bit in her confines, and felt something in her vagina; a vibrator, large, but not turned on. She also felt something in her pucker, a very well lubricated nub, shaped like a cock, she could tell. She whines and whimpers, struggling furtively against her bonds. She stops abruptly when she feels something cold touch her large breasts, over her nipples; milking tubes she and her sister had used on the cows they had at the farm at home. She yips in fear, struggling in vain now. The fox stops again when she hears a door open behind her, her ears perking at the sound.\n\n\"Morning, Emerald. I hope you're comfortable,\" said the person who had come in. It was Zair! Gasping in disbelief, Emerald tries to turn her head to look at her captor and her lover.\n\n\"Zair!? Did you do this to me? Let me out!!\" she cries, fear creeping into her shapely body as she was completely exposed and bound. She knew that he was a huge fan of bondage, but he had said he would never do this to her!\n\n\"Yes, it's me hun, and yes, I did do this to you,\" he says calmly, walking around to her front to face her so she could look at the black fox. He was only wearing a pair of tight khaki jeans, and Emerald could see a bulge growing in his pants; she whines at him. \"And I'm not letting you out.\"\n\nShe stares at him, her emerald colored eyes wide in shock and fear. \"How... How dare you! Let me go!! When Sapphire hears about this--\" she begins frantically.\n\n\"Sapphire already knows, and she said I had permission to do this to you,\" he interrupts her, grinning. The fox then realized that she was hanging, not lying on a bed. Her wrists were attached to the ceiling, and the structure she was spread-eagle on was in the center of the room, leaving him perfect access on all sides of her. The collar about her neck was attached to the corners of the room, and completely immobile. She whimpers.\n\n\"But... But Zair... What... what are you going to do to me?\" she whispers, shaking in her binds as she stares at him. He grins more, but doesn't respond, turning and walking towards a control panel on the wall. Glancing back at her, his paw wraps around a large rubber ball with a tube running from it to the control, and squeezes it--hard. She gasps and moans, her eyes closing as she feels the nub in her asshole inflate large, stretching her to lengths she had never been stretched. Zair grins.\n\n\"That is what I'm going to do to you. Right now, Em, you are my sex slave, and I can do anything I want to. And believe me, I want to do plenty,\" he says, turning back to watch her struggle again, grinning ear to ear. \"Now now, Em. Slaves who struggle get punished...\" He taunts, picking up something near the controls; a large wooden paddle. He struts over to her and she yips.\n\n\"No! Not that!! Zair!! Stop it!!! NO!!!\" she cries, tears coming to her eyes as he delivers the first sound smack to her butt cheeks, square in the middle, making the inflated nub dig deeper into her. He grins, watching her shapely rump jiggle with the blow.\n\nReaching around her, his paw toys with the still turned off dildo in her pussy as he delivers whack after whack to her rear. She begins to cry in pain and pleasure, and struggles in vain to escape this horrible punishment. Zair's grin fades into rage.\n\n\"Emerald! Stop struggling!!\" he commands and bites hard onto the scruff of her neck. She stopped immediately, resisting whimpers as he bites her. He releases, delivering one more sound cuff to her bruising rear with the paddle before moving back over to the controls. The beautiful fox watches, full of fear as his paw reaches for the ball again, and he gives multiple hard squeezes to it. She yips and moans loudly.\n\nZair, his grin replaced, turns to a dial on the panel and spins it several times. Emerald yips again and again as the vibrator in her pussy turns on to its highest setting, a loud humming coming from within her depths. Whimpering, she tries to pull her arms from the bonds, but without success still! She began to feel a deep pulsating between her legs, but it wasn't enough to come, and she wanted to, she really wanted to.\n\nSeveral minutes later, after letting the dildo do its work to arouse her, but not letting her orgasm, Zair turns it off and releases the ball he had been squeezing rapidly then entire time, and looks back at her. The fox was panting and moaning, her eyes pleading at him to stop this torture, her pussy winking with her arousal. He turns, grinning widely, and walks towards her. With her legs spread apart like they were, he drops to his knees and licks her crotch slowly, allowing his licks to be teasing, pulling in and pushing her g-spot, which he had discovered months prior, before drawing out. She moans loudly again, shifting in her bonds; she really needed to come.\n\nLicking his lips, he stood up a few minutes later and plants a firm, deep kiss on her lips, snaking his tongue forward and making her accept it. She moans and he draws back, not letting her come just yet. Turning, he walks behind her, grabbing her hips with his paws and stroking her ass. He did this for several minutes before whispering in her ear.\n\n\"I'm gonna make you come, Em. Fast and hard. You'll be beggin' me for more when I'm done with you, beggin' me,\" he whispers, and bites her ear gently for a moment, running his tongue over her ear to torment her further. Sliding his paws to his pants, he drops them and kicks them away, revealing his absolutely massive erection. He pulls out the nub in her pucker, and her eyes widen, knowing what was coming next.\n\nBut before she felt his member in her virgin anus, she felt him shoving something large and round inside of her mouth and fastening around her head; a ball gag. Moaning, muffled, he grabs her hips and positions himself. In one, fast motion, he shoves hard into her, grinning even more at the muffled yip. It took only a few minutes of him thrusting powerfully into her for the orgasm in her pussy to come out, and she sighs with pleasure as she finally releases the load.\n\nDropping to his knees, he drinks her cum greedily, his paws massaging her still stinging rump from the paddle he had used. Standing, panting, Zair removes the ball gag, and she pants heavily, before returning the nub to her rear. Moving over to the panel, he turns the dial to the second lowest setting, slowly arousing her once more, and gives the ball a few hard squeezes, before looking over at her.\n\n\"I can tell you liked that, Em. Well I'm not done with you, not by a long shot,\" he taunts softly, and she whimpers, but she had liked his torture so far, though she would never admit it, and was dying for more. He grins and moves over to the door. \"I'll be back in a few minutes, hun, don't you go anywhere.\" He laughs and smacks her rump before exiting the room.\n\nEmerald, left alone in her confines with the soft humming of the vibrator in her cunt, drops her head in defeat. She couldn't escape, she knew that, and he might not let her go. He liked what he was doing to her, liked seeing her squirm and pleasuring her mercilessly. Her thoughts were interrupted as he returns, slamming the door behind him.\n\n\"I've got a few more toys for you, Em. I thought you would like them...\" he trails off purposely and shoves a tube into her mouth. She moans and whimpers, looking at him pleadingly in a confused manner. He grins and holds a rope out in front of her. Reaching down, she saw what he was planning to do. He released one of her legs, holding it tightly in place, and slides the rope onto it, then repeats the process to the other leg; a crotch rope.\n\nBringing the rope up, he tightens it to the point where she was having a little problem breathing, and a big problem with how much this aroused her. Returning to the panel, he turns the dildo to the highest setting again, and squeezes the ball rapidly, the last squeeze lingering in her tight pucker. She moans loudly through the tube. Zair moves back over to his captive, and begins tickling her, prodding her breasts and sex and the most ticklish places on her body.\n\nShe whimpers, struggling, trying to get away from his skilled paws, but it only made matters worse; the crotch rope tightened every time she moved. Several minutes later, Zair draws back after one final teasing tickle to her pussy, which got her so close, but he denied her again, he moves behind her. There was another panel there, attached to a large, metal milking machine, which was attached to her breasts, which would lead the milk to her mouth and make her drink it.\n\nTurning in onto a setting that wouldn't get her to come just yet, the machine begins milking the helpless vixen's large firm orbs. She yelps in pleasure and pain, not used to the experience, and begins to drink her own warm milk. Watching her for a moment, Zair felt himself getting hard again, and turns, immediately pawing off. He couldn't take her this time.\n\nThen, when his member was limp once more, he moves over and attaches another rope about her waist, but this one had a large cup that took the space over her clit and pussy. Emerald watches him; he would pay for doing this to her. After a while, he turns off the milker and takes the tubes off her breasts and out of her mouth. She had drinken a lot of the sweet nectar from her breasts; she had to urinate badly.\n\nShe does so then, the urine flowing into the cup beneath her. Zair grins, what he was going to do to her next falling slowly into place. He moves his paws to the helpless fox's breasts and begins kneading them. He does this for a few minutes, and then bends down, clamps his jaws over the nipple of her right breast, and sucks hard.\n\nIt took only a few minutes of this sucking for her to send her load into the cup with her pee. She moans as she was allowed to release. The cup was half-full with her fluids, and she had a bad feeling of what was coming next. Zair, grinning ver broadly now, adjusts her head ande collar so it was tilted up and she couldn't move it once more. Returning to the pile of things he had brought in, he grabs a funnell and sticks it in her muzzle, attaching it around her head.\n\nShe whimpers and struggles violently, only to be aroused once more by the tight crotch rope and the dildo she had nearly forgotten about. The male fox takes the cup off from around her waist, and pours it's contents down her throat. She gags upon tasting the urine, glad he had allowed her to sweeten it some with her cum.\n\nAfter he had left her finish every last drop, he removes the cup and funnell and walks away from her. Emerald hang panting, wanting desperately to be released, and wanting desperately to be taken by Zair himself instead of the toys he was using on her.\n\n\"Zair... Please... How much longer is this going to go on?\" she whimpers quietly to him. He turns and looks at her, still grinning, and runs his paw through his black hair.\n\n\"You're gonna come for me two more times before I take you for real, Em, then I'll release you,\" he tells her. She whines at this news, but says nothing more, wondering how he could make her come three more times. The black fox staggers over to her and undoes her leg again, taking off the crotch rope and removing the humming dildo and the nub from her ass.\n\nHe pushes the contraption she had been attached to away, leaving her hanging by her forepaws in the middle of the room. He moves away from her, admiring his pretty captive, and then picks up a new toy. A very wide spreader bar, for someone with much longer legs than the vixen had. Attaching it to her ankles, she hangs now with a huge gap between her legs, almost wide enough to hurt her.\n\nSmiling to himself, Zair takes off the collar so she was swinging about the room with her legs like that and returns to the pile. Walking back over to her, the fox holds her steady and puts the nipple clamps he had picked up on her, before giving her a good push and watching her swing about again.\n\nAs she swings about, he plans his next scheme to make her come, and grins when he finds it. Picking up something from the sex toy pile, he stops her and brings something to her pussy. It was a feather! He begins tickling her most sensitive parts, grinning as she yips and begs.\n\n\"Stop it!! Zair!! No!!\" she cries struggling in the air where she hangs, his free paw caressing her taut ass. He begins licking her neck and the top of her chest delicately, enjoying the delicious taste of her body in his mouth. She moans, and it doesn't take long for her to come a third time, the floor slick with their combined fluids from multiple loads. His erection was huge now, and he runs it along her sex lips for a moment before drawing back, refusing to let himself give into temptation.\n\nWatching her squirm with exhaustion, her returns the feather to the pile and returns to the hanging fox. Dropping to his knees, he begins to lick her very damp pussy, waiting for her to come a forth time so he could drink the endth of her sweet hunny. His paws ran over her legs and ass and she moans loudly, occasionally yipping when he enters her with his tongue.\n\nSeveral minutes later, after her round, large firm orbs were heaving with her breasts, she heaves a large load onto his licking tongue. Drinking up the cum dripping from her pussy, he licks his lips, his cock the largest it had ever been. He stands and grabs her hips. Zair knew that this beautiful female was still aroused, he could smell her heat through all the other scents in the room.\n\nShoving himself into her, she cries out in pleasure, rocking her hips as best she could in her confines, trying to take all of him inside of her exhausted body. He allows her it, shoving hard and pushing his knot into her cunt. He pushes his muzzle to hers, his tongue stroking boldly between her lips, and she moans loudly, letting out an occasional muffled yip of pleasure.\n\nIt took only minutes for her to come the first time, and only a few more for her to come a second. This second was the one that broke him, and he spews all of his load into her, the largest load he had ever given her. The load lasted at least a minute before finally coming to a halt, sliding his limp member from her.\n\n\"That...was...incredible...Em...\" he says breathlessly, but she could only nod in agreement, her shining white fur matted horribly with sweat, her pussy dripping with both of their fluids. Zair falls to the floor in exhaustion, looking up at his still beautiful captive, watching her emerald eyes close, her maw open as she tries to recover herself. A while later, he stands once more and kisses her cheek, before turning towards the door.\n\n\"Wait, Zair,\" she whispers, \"You said you'd let me go...\" He turns back and grins at her.\n\n\"I lied. After that incredible sex we just had, I can't find it in myself to let you go. You're mine, hun, and I'm not letting you go for a long time. I'll be back tomorrow for another round, and we'll see how much you need to have some cum inside you,\" he taunts and she whimpers. Picking up the vibrator, he slides it back into her and then turns it to its lowest setting. \"That should make you good and ready for and early morning round. Night, Em.\" With that, he leaves the room.\n\nWhining and whimpering as she begins to be aroused once more, Emerald attempts to go asleep, exhausted to a point where she would be dead on her feet, if she were on her feet." } ]

He held himself there, pressing his belly on the ground as he listened for the sound of anyone who might be coming by, but there was nothing. He looked up, peaking between the wooden beams and into the wide open field. He could just make out the barn in the distance. The only light was on the farm house which was safely away from the barn. No one would see him; it was perfect.\n\nWith a smile he squeezed though the small gap under the fence, it was a tight fit, but with a little work he was able to push his way through. Keeping himself low he started running across the field, his bag bouncing off his hip with each step he took. He had been planning this little adventure for months, scouting out all the farms in the area until he found one isolated enough to suit his needs. True, everyone seemed to be a bit worried about the place, but he didn't care, it kept away the prying eyes.\n\nThe young man moved through the field, making sure to step around any mess that might have been in his way.

The idea had burnt into his mind, filling most of his evening hours and fuelling his regular masturbation, and now it was finally going to come true!\n\nHe ran up to the wall of the barn, pressing his back firmly against it. He could just hear the sound of the horses through the wall, in the silence of the night it seemed to be loudest sound in the world. He held his breath, letting his racing heart slow down as he composed himself. When he was ready, Alan moved slowly around the barn, making sure to keep it between him and the farm house, until he found a small door in the back. It was closed with a simple wooden latch that only took a moment to pull open. He slipped inside the dark barn, closing the door behind him.\n\nHe could hear the horses shuffling around in their stalls, not quite sure what to make of this stranger among them, but there was no light to see by. He reached into the small bag and pulled out a camping lamp, flicking the light on. He kept it dialed down to the dimmest of settings, sending thin blue light over everything and casting sharp shadows on the wooden walls.\n\nThe barn was like any other barn, one side was lined with a dozen stalls, the other filled with tack and equipment. Most of the stalls were occupied by large horses, each one looking at him with their dark eyes. He suspected they were waiting for him to bring them food, but that wasn't his plan, not tonight.\n\nSlowly Alan walked along the stalls, looking over the horses as he went. They were all Percherons, large draft horses that towered over him. The majority of them where light grey, which looked bluish in the light of the lamp, but one of them was dark black. The only color on the horse was a white streak across the forehead, covering one eye. He leaned over the stall, looking back along the horse's flanks, smiling when he saw that it was not just male, but fully intact.\n\n\"Well, aren't you a beautiful stallion,\" he whispered, reaching out to stroke his hand along the side of his muzzle. He had never touched a horse before and was surprised at how course his fur was. The horse nickered and nuzzled at his hand, his ears flicking back into his short cut mane. He skittered slightly in the stall, almost like he knew what was coming.\n\nAlan leaned forward and pressed his forehead against the horses snout, looking into his black eyes for a few moments, then slowly leaned back and kissed him right on the white streak. \"We are going to have fun together.\"\n\nTaking a step back he smiled at the horse then set the lamp down on the dirt floor. Quickly the young man worked off his clothing: kicking away his shoes, throwing his shirt to the ground which was followed by his pants. It left him in just his socks and briefs, his shaft tenting out the white fabric. Picking up his small bag he pulled out a thin blanket and tucked it under his arm, then picking up the lamp he moved to the stall door. The stallion had been watching every move he made with a curious eye, his head cocked slightly to one side and his tail swaying. Carefully Alan pulled open the latch on the stall door, bracing his foot against it just in case the stallion tried to force it open, but the horse was too well trained for that. He let the door drift back just enough that he could squeeze through it and close it behind him.\n\nHe moved up to the stallion, stroking his hand along the animal's flank, feeling the muscles twitching under his touch. He bent down, setting the lamp on the ground by the stall door and spreading the blanket out under the horse's legs, being careful of the stallion's large hooves.\n\nThe horse seemed to have a good idea what was going to happen, his shaft began sliding free of his sheath, dropping until it dangling almost to the ground. The skin was mostly grey, but the fat head was pitch black and wider then Alan had expected.\n\nHe smiled as he took it all in. The shaft was almost two feet long and as thick as his arm. It was everything he imagined a real horse's cock would be like. The pictures hadn't done them justice. It was an amazing sight, hanging in front of him, swaying as the horse shifted from side to side. Slowly he sat down on the blanket and reached out with shaking hands to touch the shaft.\n\n\"Amazing,\" Alan said as he stroked his hands along the length of the member, feeling it starting to twitch and swell in response. Leaning in he kissed it, tasting the flesh. It was salty and heavy with the equine's bitter musk. It filled his mouth and his nose, making his head swim.\n\nThe young man kissed again at the shaft, starting to lick at it as it began to rise, growing larger with each passing moment and starting to sway with the animal's pulse. Alan had to shift himself again as it rose higher, finally slapping at the stallion's wide belly.\n\nLicking his lips, he leaned back under the horse, smiling at the huge penis. Lifting his ass he pushed his briefs down his legs and threw them to the back of the stall, his own penis rock hard. He was big himself, a good seven and a half inches, but under such a powerful male he felt like he had nothing at all.\n\nAlan leaned up, kissing the thick head of the cock. He stroked his hands along the length of it, feeling the tight skin under his fingers. He started to lick around the rough skin of the head, teasing his tongue into the slit, tasting the first few drops of the stallion's pre. It sent a shiver down his body, making him smile around the head.\n\nHe continued to lick at the fat head, running his hands up the length of it and squeezing at the shaft. Above him the horse whickered in pleasure, his front hooves pawing at the ground as his tail swept from side to side. The big male seemed to be enjoying himself, lowering his head down to look at the man that was so busy pleasing him.\n\nThe young man reached back to stroke at the horse's sheath, letting his hands play further back to rub and tease at the heavy balls, feeling the large orbs roll in the leather skin of his scrotum. They were covered with a thin layer of fur that was rough against his hands. Above him the stallion let out a low whinny, his tail flicking faster as he played with the large balls. The head was pulsing in pleasure, the salty precum flowing faster, starting to dribble down over the skin of Alan's face.\n\n\"God, you're so huge,\" he said, kissing the shaft again, lapping his tongue over the round head before moving on. Slowly he started to lick around the underside of the head, tasting the strong musk held next to the skin. He took a few moments to lick all around the base of the flared head before starting to lick and kiss his way down the length of the hard cock.\n\nHe started to tease his hands along the shaft as he worked down the length of it. Squeezing the width of it now and then, feeling the wonderful stallionhood twitch and buck in return. He could hear it slapping at the equine's firm belly, the wonderful sound filling the barn, being matched by the sound of the man's soft moans.\n\nFinally he reached the base of the shaft, allowing him to lick at the skin of the sheath before moving back to kiss each one of the huge balls. They were massive, bigger than his fists and held tightly in the wonderful sack. They swayed as his huge lover moved, hitting his face and nose and making him laugh in joy.\n\nMoving to the other side of the stallion, he started to lick and kiss his way back up the length of the powerful rod, squeezing at it with one hand as the other moved down to grab his own cock. He started to jack himself off, his precum running down his shaft and providing more than enough lubrication for his hand.\n\nAlan slowed as he reached the halfway point of the massive cock, teasing the flesh as he stroked his cock. He started to focus on licking up and down over the shaft, making sure to cover as much of it as he could. He continued to tease the shaft with his free hand, working along the length with long slow strokes, squeezing as he went along.\n\nThe stallion seemed to be enjoying the attention, letting out a soft whinny every few moments as his tail swept from side to side. His rear hooves were dancing over the floor, but he was careful to keep them away from the man under him. The large animal was leaking a heavy flow of pre that dripped off the head of the shaft to rain down on the skin of the young man's back.\n\nFinally he returned to the head of the stallion's shaft. The tip had flared even more, the end looking rather rounded against the wide slit of his urethra, he licked happily at it, tasting the thick bitter precum one last time before he started to really lick and tease at the head, trying to get it into his mouth. He pulled his hand free of his own shaft so he could grab the stallion's cock with both hands, starting to quickly stroke along it.\n\nAbove him the stallion started to whimper even more, pawing his front hooves at the ground as his shaft twitched in excitement. The flow of the pre started to slow down, even as the slit of his urethra pulsed in anticipation. Alan leaned in and French kissed the huge cock, exploring inside of it for a few moments before pulling away and squeezed the hard shaft.\n\nAs if on cue the stallion let out a long cry and reared up a foot in the air. He came back down, his front hooves slamming to the floor as he came. The hot equine seed rushed down the thick shaft to explode out over the human's face, soaking him with hot thick cum in a moment.\n\nAlan gasped out in surprised as the first blast sprayed over him. He opened his mouth wide, catching the second huge load as it exploded out from the flared head of the cock. It flooded his mouth like he was trying to drink from a fire hose; bitter and thick on his tongue as well as saltier then he had expected, but it was still everything he had imagined. He gulped down the mouth full just in time for the stallions third and final jet of cum to spray over his face.\n\nHe leaned back between the stallion's front legs, panting in excitement as he licked the seed from his face, still staring at the huge shaft as swayed in front of him. A thick rope of cum ran down from the head of the shaft to connect with his face. Panting happily, he gathered up some of the cum in his hand and grabbed at his own shaft. His squeezed his own cock hard and started to jack at it, his hand moving quickly. It only took a few strokes before the pleasure crashed down over him and he came as well, adding his own small contribute to the mess in the stall.\n\nWith a laugh he leaned back against the stall door, panting and looking up at his wonderful equine lover. \"You are amazing,\" he gasped out.\n\nThere were many thing he had expected in reply to that, maybe a whiny or a happy nicker, or even having the horse lean down and start to lick his face clean like in his fantashis. What he didn't expect was the sound of someone clapping, a long slow clap that echoed throughout the barn and sent a shot of fear down his spine.\n\nSlowly he leaned his head up, looking past the stallion's neck, finding someone looking down at him. He couldn't quite see the person in the dim light of the lamp, leaving him with only a vague outline of a face, the only thing that stood out was the eyes as they reflected the blue light.\n\nAlan gulped, reaching out for the lamp, suddenly aware of all the cum soaking into his skin. \"Ah... hello.\"\n\nWithout a word the face vanished behind the door of the stall, a moment later he heard the latch lift and the door swung open, sending him falling back to the dirty ground. He laid there, feeling stunned as he looked at the tall man that was standing over him.\n\n\"Get out of there,\" the man ordered, his voice was deep, resonating through the wood of the barn. All the horses whinnied softly as he spoke, hooves starting to clop on the ground.\n\nThe young man nodded as he crabbed walked back out of the stall, not taking his eyes off the man. As soon as he was out of the way, the man reached down and picked up the lamp before slammed the door of the stall. He slowly leaned down, turning the light up brighter, filling the whole barn with the blue glow.\n\nAlan lifted a hand, blocking his eyes from the light, his eyes aching from the sudden change.\n\n\"It seems like you and Night Star had a good time,\" the man said, the light glowing off his pale skin, his eyes bright in response. He was a hard looking man, his full face filled with lines around the eyes and lips. His hair was cut short and hung over his forehead, dark in the light.\n\nThe young man looked up at the farmer, frozen in place for a few moments before forcing himself to nod just slightly. \"Yes--yes sir,\" he said, desperate to say anything.\n\n\"Of course your good time has caused me quite a bit of inconvenience. Night Star is my prize breeder, and I was saving him for an important client. This presents me with a great deal of problems, starting with what I am going to do with you.\"\n\n\"With me?\" Alan asked, finding himself looking into the farmer's eyes, unable to really turn away. There was something about the man, strong and very powerful. He was muscular, his chest tight under his shirt and coveralls, and his arms were thick and heavy. Alan got the feeling that the farmer could break him without even trying.\n\nThe farmer nodded. \"Yes, with you. You have deprived me of great deal of property and that leaves you with very few choices, in fact you have exactly two. I can call the local police and they can take you away, still covered in my horse's semen, or you stay here and do everything I tell you until you repay me for every cent you cost me, ten times over. Do you understand?\"\n\nAlan gulped again, not quite sure how to respond. \"I... Can I think about it?\"\n\n\"You may,\" he replied, the paused for a few seconds. \"Times up.\"\n\nThe last thing he wanted to do was to be arrested looking like this. The media would jump on it in a moment and he would become a laughing stock. If the choice was that or spending some time working on the man's farm.... Well, he would be willing to work, more so if it allowed him to be around the wonderful horses.\n\nHe took a moment to compose himself then nodded. \"Alright, I'll work for you.\"\n\nSlowly the farmer stood back up, chuckling deeply as an amused look passing over his hard face. \"Oh, don't believe that it will be easy work. You have a great deal to repay, and I intend to make you work to repay every single drop of it.\"\n\n\"Okay,\" he said, finding himself shivering under the man's intense gaze. There was something about what the man said, something heavy hanging in the air that made him suddenly start to regret agreeing to do the job. That was silly, he hadn't even seen what he would be doing, it was too soon to be getting second thoughts. He forced down his worry and sat up on his knees.\n\nThe farmer smiled a bit more. \"Stay right there. Do not move a single inch,\" he said, then turned away from Alan, walking across the barn to where all the equipment was stored. He moved his large body easily through the stacked up equipment, starting to sort through the straps and tack hanging from the wall. He found what he was looking for and turned back around, his eyes glowing in the bright blue light; it made them look almost red.\n\nWalking back he smiled down at the young man and held out the strap. \"Lift your chin.\"\n\nWithout a word he did as he was told.\n\nWith a flick of his wrist he snapped the later strap out like a whip, making Alan jump in place. Taking an end in each hand he draped it down over the back of the young man's head, the pulled it around his neck. As the farmer closed the band he realized that it wasn't a strap but a collar! It sank heavily down against his shoulders, hanging from his neck, very loose but not so much that it would let him pull it off over his head.\n\nAlan looked back at the farmer, stunned by this turn of events, not even protesting when he pulled a padlock off a nail on the wall and closed it though the collar, locking it firmly in place.\n\nHe finally found his tongue. \"What?\" he stuttered out.\n\nThe farmer shook his head.\"No, no talking. Now come with me,\" he said and stared walking out of the bar, leaving the young man still sitting on the floor. He reached the door then turned back to look at Alan, his eyes narrowing. \"Do you wish to be leashed as well?\"\n\nAfter a few moments of no answer, the farmer pulled a long leather leash off the wall and stalked back to the young man. Without a word he clipped it to the collar and started walking forward again. The slack in the leash vanished after a few moments, but he didn't stop, instead he pulled the young man to the ground.\n\nAlan landed hard on the compacted dirt floor of the barn, reminding him that he was still naked other than his socks. Stones dug into his skin, making him yelp out as the farmer pulled on the leash, dragging him hard over the ground without any sign of real exertion. He scrambled to pull himself up onto his feet, barely making it up after being pulled along for a few feet. He struggled at the end of the leash for a few more feet before moving up closer to the farmer, keeping some slack on the lead as they stepped out of the barn.\n\nThe night was cold against his bare skin, the semen starting to dry, through a layer of dirt now clung to it, making him feel sticky. It grew darker as they walked away from the barn and the single lamp. A part of him expected to be dragged off to the farm house, but they went in a different direction, moving farther back through the fields. Clouds had rolled in over the night sky, blotting out what little light there was and making it hard to see where he was going. He stumbled a few times over rocks and dirt but still managed to keep on his feet. In this distance he could start making out the outline of a new building, blotting out the few stars on the horizon.\n\nThe walk was ever longer then he had expected, the building growing larger with each step they took. While it was as tall as the barn, the building was much wider, stretching out in each direction. It was hard to see exactly how larger it was in the darkness, but as they got closer to the walls it seemed to dominate everything around them. He shivered as they approached, the building imposing in the darkness, the chill of the night air doing nothing to make him feel better. Strangely he was also finding himself starting to get horny again, his cock beginning to rise upwards as he walked.\n\nWithout breaking stride, the big man vanished into the black shadow of the barn, stopping somewhere inside of it. Alan stopped as well, but only for a moment as a tug on the leashed told him to keep moving forward. Slowly he stepped into the darkness, nearly pitch black under the starless sky. Only a hint of light came over the top of the slanted roof, but it illuminated nothing. He had to put his hands out as he walked, finally knowing when to stop when they pressed against the hard wood of the wall.\n\nHe stood in the darkness, hearing the farmer pulling some keys out of his overalls then unlocking what he assumed was a door. He pulled the door open, the wall in front of them rolling easily to the side. There was the sound of animals coming from inside; it was an odd sound, unlike anything he had ever heard before. There were odd chirping sounds and low growls, like the kind large feline would make.\n\nA flash of fear rushed over him as he turned to look at where he thought the farmer was. \"You're not going to feed me to something, are you?\"\n\nThe big man laughed and grabbed at the clip of the leash. \"What reason would I have to do something such as that? If I feed you to my pets you would never repay me,\" he said, pulling the leash off the collar. Even in the darkness they were in, he could see the man's eyes glowing just slightly.\n\n\"Oh,\" Alan managed to say, not quite sure what was going to happen next, even so he was still surprised as the farmer reached out and grabbed his shoulder. His thick fingers squeezed into the skin of the young man's shoulder, holding on tightly before he was thrown into the building.\n\nHe went flying through the dark air, sailing into the building and falling rapidly towards the ground. He covered his face with his arms, letting out a cry as he fell. The floor was lower than he expected, at least five feet between the inside of the building and outside. It gave him just enough time to have a flash of worry before he finally landed in something soft. It was thick and wet, squishing around him as he sank down into it. It flowed around his body, squeezing up around his arms and legs as well as his still rock hard shaft.\n\nHe laid there, stunned, for a few moments before finally lifted himself up about of... whatever it was. Twisting around he looked back at the door, just seeing the outline of the farmer above him.\n\n\"I hope you enjoy your first night,\" he said, then slid the door closed, blocking out the small fraction of light that was in the building.\n\nAlan sat there, not sure what had just happened or what he was going to do. The muck he was in felt like mud. It pulled at his skin, sucking at him every time he tried to move. It was a few inches deep and thick enough to stick to everything. He struggled up to his knees, trying to decide what he was going to do to get out of this mess. He hadn't counted on the farmer wanting a slave instead of an employee. Reaching up he started feeling at the collar, trying to see if there was any way to get it off. The thick leather was loose around his neck, but not so loose that he could pull it up over his head. The pad look was run though a pair of thick grommets... there was no way he could simply pull it off.\n\nThe only way he really could get the collar free was to cut it off, but he had no idea how to even scratch at the thick leather. Maybe if he covered his face with mud it would be enough to allow the collar to pull free--much like using butter to get off an errant ring--except that the mud wasn't slick, it was sticky.\n\nLetting out a sigh, he slumped back down into the mud. It was pulling at his legs and covering his skin where he landed; it was even covering his shaft, which was still rock hard even after all that had happened.\n\nA moment later he felt something nosing at his back. He froze, suddenly remembering that he wasn't alone in the barn. As his mind turned away from his problem he started to notice their presence, the sound of the large animals moving around him, the mud squelching under their feet. He could also smell them, but it wasn't like the horses, it was a deeper smell but oddly sweet, like honey. It wasn't an unpleasant smell even if it was mixed with the smell of dirt and meat... why meat?\n\nHe closed his eyes, not that it mattered in the pitch black barn, feeling another of the large animals nuzzling over his chest while the first one was rubbing its snout against his ass. The scent was getting stronger, rolling off the animal in front of him. It filled his nose, making it twitched as the smell pressed up to wrap around his mind. It made his low grade arousal flair, lust flooding through him and making his cock jump.\n\nThe animal nosing against his front picked up on this and lowered its head down to nose at his cock, hot breath rolling over the mud covered shaft. A moment later he felt the animal's tongue flick out and wrap around his length, teasing along it and cleaning the mud away.\n\nAlan let out a moan, the tongue being very skillful for an animal but felt weird. Thin and long, twitching around with a great deal of skill and even wrapping all the way around his cock. Finally the animal sucked his shaft into its mouth, starting to give him a blowjob. The one on his back starting to lick around the base of his spine and the top of his ass, teasing at his skin.\n\n\"Well trained,\" he murmured, his voice echoing around the barn. He reached out to stroke the animal's head, touch a thick mane. It was full heavy hair, and even though it as covered in mud he could still feel the individual strands. He teased his hands down through the hair to the top of the animal's head, feeling the rough texture of its skin.\n\nThe young man had no idea what sort of animal it was, and any worry he had felt was erased from his mind as the creature pressed its snout down to his crotch, the tongue flicking out to wrap around his balls, giving them a squeeze and making him whimper in pleasure. It was probably the best blow job he had ever gotten.\n\nAnother of the big animals moved up to his side, rubbing a flank against him. The animals skin pulling at the small hairs on his arm, but not in an unpleasant way. Soon a fourth animal was at this other side, pinning him in the middle of the herd.\n\nThe one on his cock, apparently the leader of the group, starting to work its head faster, bobbing quickly along his length, the thin tongue starting to move between his cock and his balls, teasing them both. The creature let out an odd sound, something like a feline purr but it was more powerful than that, making the air vibrate around him.\n\nAlan let out his own whimper, feeling the two animals at his side moving around and starting to lick at his shoulders. One went down, working along his arm while the other worked up to start licking at his neck and face, the thin tongue exploring at his ear and cheek. It was such a different and wonderful feeling, being loved by this group of large animals. He had no idea what they were, but they made him feel very good. His cock was twitching in excitement as the beast sucked eagerly at him. He wasn't going to last much longer, but he wanted to, it felt to go to just let it go so soon.\n\nWithout a thought he turned his head towards the one licking at his face. The creature seemed to understand, pressing its snout to his lips and kissing him firmly, the thin flexible tongue slipping into his mount to tease at his own tongue. He eagerly returned the kiss, feeling the creature starting to join the first with a purr.\n\nThe young man whimpered softly, feeling his climaxing starting to rush forward, so fast that he couldn't stop it no matter how hard he tried. Closing his eyes tightly he broke the kiss, letting out a moan as he came. His load blasted out of his shaft to flood into the animal's muzzle, thicker and stronger than before, making his whole body shake with the orgasm.\n\nEven as he came, his pleasure still grew, rushing through his whole body, filling him until it felt like he was about to burst. When it almost seemed like he couldn't take it anymore it finally started to ebb away, rolling down off his body and making him fall against one of the big animals. Its gently lowered him down into the thick mud, allowing him to sink into it a few inches. The group seemed to disperse, but one of them them dropped down at his side, pressing its flank up against his leg.\n\nAlan didn't bother to move after that, just basking in the glow of the wonderful experience, not really sure what to make of all of it. He was overwhelmed by everything that had happened, and even after the orgasm he could still feel the lust pressing gently down over his body. It just didn't seem to want to go away, but it also felt too good to worry about.\n\nAfter a while he opened his eyes, looking up into the darkness of the barn, but it wasn't pitch black anymore. There must have been some light coming in from somewhere as he could make out the beams of the roof, but very faintly. Turning his head he saw the creature at his side. It was big, bigger than the horses and seemed to have longer limbs. He could just make out the forms of other animals laying in the mud, but that was all. He still had no idea what they were, and the question was still on his mind as he drifted off into a deep sleep.?\n\n\\* \\* \\\n\nAlan's dreamed of the finest lovers throughout the night, men and woman dressed in long silk clothing that did nothing to hide their fine bodies. They teased him with their hands and lips, stroking over his body, tickling over his chest, stroking his legs and rubbing his shaft. They were covering him, keeping him rock hard and on the edge of bursting, but the release never came.\n\nFinally he was stirred awake by the feeling of something or someone licking over his face. It broke into his dreams and pulled him up to the surface. He slowly opened his eyes, the memories of the night before coming back to him. As did the weight of the collar around his neck.\n\nHe sat up with a gasp, pushing whatever it was away from him while he rubbed the dirt and grime from his face. His morning wood had decided to put in an appearance thanks to the erotic dreams, but he put it off for the time being. The last thing he wanted to do was jack off in front of whatever animal he had been penned with.\n\nSunlight was pouring in through the cracks in the roof, casting everything in the barn with a mix of a light and shadows that gave everything a sharp edge. The barn was large and seemed to be filled with the single pen that went from wall to wall. The was a long chain link fence along one end, separating the pen from a walkway and a wall of tools, as well as a large closed door.\n\nHe pulled himself to his feet, and started to work his way through the thick mud in the pen, feeling it suck at his feet with each step he took. He was covered from head to toe in the mud, along with the remains of the horse cum from the night before. That thought brought a smile to his lips, remembering the feeling of the stallion's big cock and its wonderful taste.\n\nWithout really thinking, he reached down to grab at his shaft, starting to gently stroke it with each step he took towards the fence. Spending the night with the stallion had made up for everything else that had happened. He was a magnificent creature, and part of him hoped he could find a way to play with him again.\n\nAlan squeezed at the base of his shaft, feeling the skin pulling tight down the length of it. It felt strange, bigger then he remember. He took a glance down over his mud covered body, not seeing any changes to his shaft no matter what it felt like.\n\nHe came up to the fence, forcing himself to pull his hand free from his penis. He looked down the length of the fence, finding a gate near the far side of the barn. He quickly started to head in that direction, or at least as quickly as he could in the thick mud. He could hear the sound of the animals moving around behind him, but he ignored them for the moment, he had other things to worry about. When he finally reached the gate, he was surprised to see that was it was locked with a pair of heavy duty padlocks, each one of which had been marred by a number of long scrapes. He gave both locks a quick tug, finding that they were both securely closed.\n\nAlan looked back down the length of the fence, searching for any sign of another gate, but he didn't find one. That left him no choice but to try and climb over it. He pressed his fingers up to the links, grabbing them tightly as he pressed his toes against the fence. The thick mud made his feet slick, but not so much that he couldn't pull himself up.\n\nHis erection was the biggest pain, jutting out firmly from his crotch and pressing up against the cold metal of the fence. Each time he moved it tried to slide between the links, but that hardly the sort of thing he wanted to be fucking.\n\nThe young man was nearly half way up the fence when he felt something wrap tightly around his ankle. It almost felt like a hand, but that simply wasn't possible, he would have heard if the farmer had returned. He twisted his leg, trying to break free, but the grip squeezed even tighter. Then without warning it yanked back, pulling him off the fence. He let out a yelp as he tumbled backwards, landing with a wet slap in the mud. It flowed around him, conforming to the shape of his body as he sank down into it, his skin tingling from the force of the impact. He laid there for a few moments, staring up at the ceiling, not sure what had just happened.\n\nIt took him a few moments to compose himself, breathing deeply as he felt the mud sliding around him. There was also the sound of something moving around next to him. He craned his head around, gasping when he finally saw what he was sharing the pen with. It was nothing like he had expected, and didn't look like any animal he had ever seen before. It was, for lack of a better word, a dragon!\n\nThe animal was just standing there on all fours, looking at him with a quizzical cock of his head. It was a strange creature; the front paws seemed more like hands, with thick stubby fingers and a thumb. There was also the matter of the long blue mane that ran down the top of its neck, the color contrasting with the red of the scales. Thick feathering covered both the paws and large feet, though the hair was covered in mud. Even strange was the fact that the creature had a pair of two very human looking breasts. They hung from the dragon's chest, hanging large and low, with long fat nipples that were darker than the normal scales. Just behind them he could see a second pair of equally sized breasts, filing out the animal's chest.\n\nThe dragoness seemed to be enjoying the attention, slowly starting to turn around in place, wings unfurling from her back as her long tail dragged through the mud. She flicked her tail up, showing off her ass, thick nether lips and large clit. At the same time it also reviled something else. Hanging under the sex, dangling low between the animal's hind legs, was a pair of massive balls. Lowering his head he looked up under the balls, and could see what had to be the shape of a cock pressing up against her belly and between her lower breasts.\n\n\"What are you?\" he asked, starting to lift himself up with his hands, never taking his eyes off the hermaphrodite dragoness. Shi turned her head back, licking hir lips as shi finished spinning around, hir tail slapping at the mud.. Slowly shi walked up to him, pressing hir muzzle up to his face, nipping at him before running her thin tongue across his eyes.\n\nAlan sputtered and pushed the dragoness away, not quite sure what was going on. He was trapped in the pen with this big animal and had no way to get out. Shi looked at him again, licking hir lips and taking a step forward. Shi fanned heir wings out wide and wiggled hir ass slightly, then with a cry leapt at him!\n\nLifting up his hands, he tried to cover himself as the dragoness crashed into him, slamming him back into the mud and knocking the breath out of him. The weight of hir body was pressing him in deeper, the large breasts smashed against his chest, the feeling of the massive shaft rubbing at the top of his belly. He could feel the heat of hir body as well as the slight coarseness of hir scales. There was also an earthy and earthly smell, a mix of the mud and hir own musk.\n\nThe dragoness twisted hirself and lifted up hir ass, then brought it back down, right on his still hard cock. There was no resistance as he slid up into hir large pussy, the thick lips teasing along his length even though he hardly touched both inner walls. It was a slick and warm passage and felt wonderful on his shaft. Hir juices were running freely, already soaking his crotch as shi started to ride him.\n\nHe twisted under hir, trying to get free. On any normally day, he would love to fuck such a wonderful pussy as this, but this wasn't a normal day, and he had no control! He clawed at hir arm's, trying to get free as the dragoness slammed hirself down against him, starting to let out little squeal with each impact. He could feel his shaft twitching, his own excitement growing as the pleasure of the sex starting to burn into his mind. It filled him, making him growl in pleasure, and eventually he found himself starting to thrust back into the hot folds.\n\nThe dragoness let out a snort of pleasure, craning hir head down to lick at his face as shi rode him harder, hir tail smacking into the ground with each trust. The young man started to lick hir in return, the lust washing over his mind, blurring away everything but the fantastic sex!\n\nAlan started to lick back, thrusting into hir as hard as he could, gasping a little bit as he began feeling his balls starting to pull up close to him. Closing his eyes he let out a soft cry and shoved himself up as hard as he could, thrusting into hir as he finally came. Shi let out a howl, clenching hirself tight around him as shi came as well, hot juices gushing down over his crotch. A moment after that hir shaft, penned between their bodies erupted with hot cum. It sprayed out between them to cover them both.\n\nHe dropped back into the mud, panting, his eyes half closed. The dragoness leaned down, starting to nuzzle at the collar around his neck, chittering softly. It was a very nice sound, one that brought a smile to his tired lips. After a few more moments shi pulled hirself free of him, slipping off his cock with a wet slurping sound. Shi cocked hir head to the side, looking at him for a moment before walking away, hir mud covered tail swaying as shi walked.\n\n\"You seem to be finding a great deal of pleasure in my animals,\" a familiar voice said from across the pen.\n\nAlan rolled over lifted himself up by his arms, discovering the farmer standing just behind the chain link fence, a smirk on his face. He was still wearing the overalls, contrasting with his heavily tanned skin. It was the only clothing he had on. In the daylight he was even more impressive, towering against the fence but somehow unmoving, like he was carved from stone.\n\n\"I--\" he said, starting to protest that it wasn't exactly his idea.\n\nThe farmer shook his head. \"You have no reason to explain yourself, such things are expected of you now. That is why I brought you here.\"\n\nAlan pulled himself up into a sitting position, looking closely at the farmer. His skin was starting to itch in places from the drying mud. \"I don't understand.\"\n\n\"You are not expected to understand. You are to stay in this cage with your new lovers. You will stay there until I allow you to leave. Do you understand?\"\n\nHe nodded, starting to blush as he realized he was nude in front of the strange man. He started to move his hands down to cover his crotch, but instead he found himself folding them behind his back. That bothered him, but he couldn't quite make himself move them into place. \"Can I at least have a shower then?\"\n\n\"Pets do not shower. You are going to stay there until I tell you otherwise. It will be your home until you have repaid me for my lost property.\"\n\nHe blushed, reaching up to rub at the collar again, then scratched at the itching skin on the small of his neck. \"Okay... but how about some food?\"\n\nThe farmer let out a deep chuckle that echoed though the barn. \"You will have to ask them,\" he said, motioning back with his hand.\n\nSlowly Alan turned back around, gulping when he saw all the other occupants of the pen. It wasn't just the one hermaphrodite dragoness, but six, and they were all standing in a semi-circle behind him. Their hair and scales were a were a mix of different colors and shades. Blue, red, orange, white, brown... and one who's scales were violet. They were watching him with bright eyes and swaying tails and three of them were also wearing a thick collar. He looked them over, not quite sure what to make of it. They were all the same mix of male and female, though the sizes of their breasts and dicks varied from one to the other. Some had horns and some didn't have the feathering around their feet. Even without the rainbow colors they were unique creatures.\n\nHe climbed back up to his feet, all them following him with their eyes. The one at the end--the one with violet scales and a short cut white main-- took a step forward, fanning her wings out and letting out a sharp chirp.\n\nAlan just stood there, not quite sure what to do.\n\n\"Shi is saying hello,\" the farmer explained.\n\n\"Shi is?\"\n\nThe farmer chuckled deeply, the sound once again echoing through the barn. \"Don't keep hir waiting.\"\n\nHe rubbed his arm as he looked at the violet dragoness. Shi lifted up hir head to expose the large collar around hir neck. Shi then cocked hir head to the side, hir eyes focusing on him.\n\n\"Um... hello?\" he said.\n\nShi chirped in response and fanned out her wings out before snapping them closed against her back. It wasn't clear what shi had meant by that, but that seemed to be a signal to the other dragoness as they broke apart, heading through the thick mud towards the far side of the pen. On the very back of the wall he could see a long steel troth with one end protruding out of the fence. It took him a moment to realize that it was meant for food.\n\nThe dragons gathered around the troth as the farmer approached from the other side of the fence. He was carrying a massive bag over his shoulders, acting like it weighed almost nothing at all. When he reached the troth he ripped open the top of it--this made all the dragons start to chirp in excitement. It was full of some kind of pellet like food that rolled down the troth as the bag was emptied into it. It filled it quickly, some of the food overflowing the sides and spilling out into the mud.\n\nAll six of the dragons dived down into the feast, forcing themselves together so they all had room to eat. Their tails were held up high, swaying from side to side as the ate like the food was going to vanish in a moment.\n\nStanding there, Alan heard his stomach starting to growl in protest as he watched the feast. He finally walked up to them, trying to join them at the troth, but every time he got near one of the dragons, shi spread out her wings until there were touching hir neighbor, blocking his way.\n\nAfter a few tries, the young man let out a long sigh and turned his attention towards the violet dragon. \"May I have some of the food?\"\n\nShi lifted up her head from the troth, licking up the crumbs of food from hir lips as shi turned to face him. Hir eyes narrowed for a few moments before slowly nodding hir head, licking her lips a bit more as shi flicked out hir wings then tucked them against hir side.\n\n\"Thank you,\" he said, moving towards the troth, but as soon as he got close hir wings snapped out to block his way once more. A tittering sound ran through all of the dragonesses, apparently they were just teasing him. \"But... I thought you were going to let me eat?\" the words sounding rather dumb to his ears.\n\nWith a rolling laugh, the violet dragon worked hir way free of the troth, the others quickly closing in to fill the extra space. Shi walked towards him, hir eyes bright as shi fanned out hir wings. Alan took a few steps back, not quite sure what shi was going to do. The very last thing he had expected was for hir to let out a snort, then drop down onto hir side in the mud. Without taking hir eyes of off him, shi lifted up hir forelegs to expose hir large breasts.\n\nHe looked at the foursome of out of place mammaries, not quite sure what to make of what he was seeing. The fat nipples were hard, standing out as dark purple against the violet scales. On a normal day he would find it quite fetching, but today wasn't a normal day.\n\nShi gave him a look and shifted a bit, arching hir back and thrusting her chest out at him. The big breasts rippled and small drops of milk appeared on the tip of each nipple. Even then it took him a moment to really understand that shi wanted him to nurse. That was something he had fantasized about in the past, but it was more than he was willing to do at the moment. He took another step back, holding up his hands. \"No... I would rather have the food.\"\n\nA sharp look of annoyance crossed over hir face. Shi watched him for a few more moments before letting out a snort and dropping hir foreleg back down. Giving him one last disgusted look shi climbed back to hir feet and returned to the food troth, forcing hir way back in and returning to her meal.\n\nAlan moved to the back of pen, sitting down in the thick mud and watching them as they ate. Their tails were swaying high in the air, hips rubbing against each other with every move they made. It seemed like they were all sexually eager, their exposed slits dripping in eagerness, the fluids rolling down over their balls. It was such a strange look, but somehow it seemed right on them. He couldn't help but watch them as they ate together, it was a hypnotic site and soon he was finding himself getting horny again, his shaft slowly rising to the occasion.\n\nThis wasn't the time or the place for this, but that didn't seem to be bothering his libido. He pressed his hand over his face, trying to block out the view, but it did nothing to lesson his arousal. He could still hear the sounds of them moving about, the squelching of the mud as they shifted from side to side, the fanning of their wings. There was also their smell, it filled the whole barn, a mix of scents, both male and female, combined with the wet smell of the mud and an underlying scent of dried sex. It went right to his cock.\n\nHe hadn't felt this hot in a very long time, it was almost overwhelming, pressing into his mind, filling it with images of the dragon's bodies. Their mix of genders, of human and animal, mammal and reptile, it was a fantastic combination of so many wonderful things. It was almost too much for him.\n\nTaking a deep breath, he slowly allowed his hand to drop away from his face only to find that his companions had wondered away from the food troth. Seeing that it was free he pulled himself back upright and ran through the mud as fast as he could, hoping to find some food left behind, but only discovered that the troth was empty, the metal shining after having been licked clean. Even the few pieces that had fallen in the mud had been gobbled up. There was simply nothing left for him to eat.\n\nAlan let out a long sigh and dropped back down into the mud, his stomach starting to grumble in anger. This was turning out to be a very odd day. Even worse, he had no idea how long the farmer was going to keep him there, or and even what was he wanted of him. He had no idea how any of this was paying back his time with the stallion. It just made him ever more confused.\n\nLeaning back against the cold metal of the troth, he looked up at the large rafters that crossed along the ceiling. Heavy lights were hanging from them, along with what looked like a number of security cameras. They were tracking from side to side, not focusing on anything directly, but making sure there was coverage of the full pen.\n\nHe slumped back down, pulling his knees up to his chest and looking out over the dragons as they milled about. They seemed a bit lethargic after their meal, laying down in the mud, though the violet one was nuzzling at the side of the brown dragon, then started to groom hir dark grey hair. The brown dragon returned the motion, teasing at the other's collar as their tails wrapped together.\n\nThey looked happy together, as did every one of the dragons. They didn't seem to care much about the mess of the mud, or how it hung to their sheaths and breasts. The orange one didn't seem to mind at all, playing with hir breasts as shi lounged on hir back in the mud. The leather collar around hir neck standing out against her scales.\n\nAlan rested his chin on his knees, watching them as they lounged and played. Their whole world might have been the pen and the barn, but they simply didn't care. He wished he could feel the same way. As his belly started to growl he found himself wishing he had forced his way to the troth in time to get something to eat.\n\nAs he sulked the white dragon came up to him, sniffing at him for a few moments and then licking across his face. Her scales were dirty with the mud, it smeared across hir form and filled in the small gaps between each scale. Hir blond mane was matted down to the side of hir neck, large chunks of mud dangling from the stands. It looked like shi had been rolling in the mud.\n\nHe snorted and pushed hir away, not in the mood at the moment. That didn't seem to stop her, shi moved back to lick at him again, nuzzling hir neck along his head, the collar around hir neck pulling at his hair. He pushed hir away again, his stomach still protesting the lack of food.\n\nThe dragoness gave him a long look, slowly nodding hir head before moving around him, rubbing hir body across his chest. Hir tail flicked up to tease across the bottom on his chin, the muddy tip smacking against his nose. Shi look a few more steps away then dropped down on hir side in the mud, lifting up hir legs to show off hir breasts. A pair of them this time. The nipples were large, jutting out a few inches, each one as thick as a finger and easy to see under the thick mud. With a smirk shi reached down and pushed a paw over hir breasts, cleaning some of the mud off of it.\n\nAlan blushed as he looked over hir, rubbing the dry mud flaking off the skin of his arm. It was clear what shi was offering, but he wasn't sure that he wanted it. On the other hand his belly was protesting angrly about the lack of anything to eat.\n\nThe dragoness smirked and patted the side of hir breasts with one paw, the flicked hir tail up, motioning for him to come closer.\n\nHe simply stared at hir for a few more moments, then almost unbidden he found himself moving forward. He told himself that he just wanted a closer look at hir breasts, but he knew it was simply a lie to comfort himself. He was hungry, and this was the only way he was going to be able to eat.\n\nSlowly he moved closer, until he was only a few inches away from hir. He could see the layer of mud that outline the shape of the breasts. It showed each and every scale and bump on her areolas, making them stand out clearly. Small drops of milk were starting to form on the tips of each nipples, clinging tightly to the off white flesh.\n\nPressing his tongue out, he lapped up a drop of milk. The dragoness responded by letting out a soft chitter of pleasure, hir tail trashing in the mud. The taste was interesting, strong on his tongue, but not quite enough that he could tell what it was, other then it tasted unlike any milk he had ever tried before.\n\nWith his growling stomach pushing him on, he leaned in and licked at the nipple again before slowly sliding it into his mouth. The teat was warm on his lips, the skin firm with an unfamiliar taste mixed with the flavor of the mud a hint of the milk. It wasn't an all together unpleasant taste.\n\nAlan wasn't sure exactly what to do, so starting by sucking a bit on the tit. The dragoness chittered again in response, hir foreleg dropping down over his back, holding him gently in place. A second later he was rewarded with another small taste of the milk. It was only a trickle, but it was enough that he could taste the sweetness of it, like it had sugar mixed with the cream.\n\nHe sucked again and more milk filled his mouth, heavier than before. It danced over his tongue, the flavor even stronger. It was a wonderful taste, warm and thick on his tongue. He swallowed it down and continued to suckle. The milk started to flow regularly after that, keeping his mouth full. With each gulp his belly started to relax, then tightness fading away to be replaced with the warmth of the dragon's milk.\n\nThe white dragoness started to purr, stroking hir claws down his back as he nursed. Almost like shi was encouraging him to keep drinking until he had his fill. It didn't seem like that would be any time soon as he pressed a bit closer to hir, reaching out to start to stroke over hir breasts. Hir tail flicked up to tease between his legs, the muddy hair on the tip teasing at his penis. His shaft rose up unbidden, swelling hard against the nimble tail.\n\nHe continued to drink from the fat tit, starting to kneed at hir breasts and humping gently at hir tail. It felt so good to be like this, nursing at the sweet milk. He was starting to taste hints of other flavors, vanilla and maybe something that could have been coco. He kept drinking, trying to find more of the flavor, chasing down the small hints of flavor. He didn't notice once his belly had stopped protesting, and even when he was sated. It was too good to stop drinking.\n\nThe dragoness growled happily, teasing over his back while stroking along his hard shaft. Shi seemed to be enjoying it as much as he was, hir own shaft starting to rise up out of hir sheath and press against his belly. It was a very pleasant feeling as the thin shaft was teased against him and rubbed along his own hard member.\n\nAlan wiggled a bit against hir body and hard shaft, humping back against it. It wasn't as nice as the horse's cock, but there was something about it that felt good and right. He let out a soft whimper as the tit he was drinking from gave up its last few drops of milk, only to have the white dragoness gently grasp his head and move him to hir other breast. He latched onto it, starting to suckle as another fresh bust of milk filled his mouth. He stroked a hand over hir belly, unconsciously kneading at hir dirty scales. Hir belly was soft, giving easily under his fingers as they ran over the slightly rough texture, exposing her scales from under the mud.\n\nIt return shi pawed at his back, hir shaft pinned firmly between them. With a pleased grunt shi started to thrust against him, precum leaking from the pointed head of hir cock. He barely felt it, lost in the warmth of hir sweet milk. He closed his eyes, pressing his face in as he nursed, his cock pressing up against hir shaft.\n\nThe white dragoness humped faster, starting to pick up speed as shi worked hir shaft between their bodies. He pressed tight to hir, rubbing at hir belly, humping his belly against hir shaft, feeling it starting to twitch in excitement. Alan moaned around the fat nipple, still drinking well past the point that he was full. His belly was tight with the milk, but there was still room for more. A small part of him wondered how that could be, but the rest of him was just too focused on nursing and humping at hir shaft.\n\nLifting up one paw, the dragoness grabbed the back of his head, pressing him down against hir breast as shi started to really fuck against his body. Shi teased hir fingers through his hair, pulling at it as shi worked against him, a low chitterling filling hir body as shi smacked hir tail against the muddy ground.\n\nHir long cock started to twitch in excitement, the precum spurting out against him before shi let out a cry and started to cum. Hot jets of dragon seed sprayed out between them, soaking over his skin as he drank down the last few gulps of hir milk. His tight belly squished against hir cumming cock, making him moan out around the fat tit before he climaxed as well, his own cum quickly being added to the mess between them.\n\nHe collapsed down against hir body, gasping out in pleasure as he felt hir legs wrapping around him, holding him close to hir hot body. He let the nipple slip free of his lips, then letting out a heavy belch he started to nuzzle at hir neck. Soon after he fell into sleep, still resting on top of hir messy scales.\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nAlan lifted his head up, the sleep still heavy in his eyes. The light had nearly faded, leaving him laying in the near darkness on the white dragoness who was churring softly under him, one leg still draped over his back. He slipped out from under the leg, sliding off of her and into the mud. it was still thick and wet, with no signs of drying even after a full day.\n\nHe looked around, feeling a bit slow and heavy, the dried cum thick on his belly, making it itch. He could see the dragons sprawled out in the mud, almost all of them asleep. Only the violet one was awake, hir head lifting up from hir paws, looking at him with narrowed eyes. He looked back at hir for a few moments before she snorted and turned hir head to the side, ignoring him again.\n\nSlowly he pulled himself up to his feet and started to walk across the mud. It sucked and pulled at his feet, making him sway and wobble with each step he took. After a few feet he tried to take another step and found his foot not wanting to come free. He tumbled forward, landing face first into the thick mud, feeling it squish under his chest and flood into his mouth.\n\nHe lifted his head, spitting out the mud and trying to clear it off of his tongue. It had a deep taste, not like he had expected. It tasted like dirt, that was to be expected, but there was more to it. There was hints of the dragons, their cum and milk as well other things. It wasn't really an unpleasant taste, but not one that he relished.\n\nLifting himself up onto his hands and knees, he started crawling across the mud, finding it eashir going. There was a small water troth in the front of the cage against the fence, and he needed a drink. The dim light made it hard to navigate, so he had to take his time. Even so he nearly put his hand down on the blue dragoness; stopping when he was just touching hir brown mane, which was the same shade as the mud. Quickly he moved to the side, trying not to disturber hir, but shi still lifted up hir head and snorted at him as he went past.\n\nAlan moved on, finally reaching the smaller troth. He started to reach into the water but stopped when he saw the mud caking his hands. It was the drinking water, he didn't want to get it dirty. He tried wiping his hands off on his legs, then hips, but it did nothing to get them cleaner. Finally he tried wiping them off on the fence, which worked free the majority of the thick mud, but not all of it.\n\nIt was going to have to be enough for now. Cupping his hands together and lifting the water to his lips. It was warm, but it helped wash out his mouth. He took in a long drink, and then another. It was a nice, even if it would have been better cold.\n\nShaking of his hands he turned back around, only to find the blue dragoness behind him. Shi gave him a nasty look, hir eyes growing in the dim light and then pushed past him to shove hir snout into the water troth. He decide just to ignore hir, turning around and crawling away. He scanned over the pen, trying to find a place he could curl up for the night. He was glad that the barn was warm on his skin, it made it at least pleasant to be nude.\n\nHe scratched at his arm, pulling off some of the dry mud, feeling it tugging at his skin before it came free. It was still making his skin itch in places and always in places he couldn't easily reach, like at the very center of his back. He was debating finding himself something to rub his back up against to relieve it.\n\nA moment later he felt a paw pressing on his ass, shoving it down towards the mud. The last thing he had expected was for one of the dragoness to help him with the itch. Turning his head back he saw the blue dragoness looking at him, but with a predatory look on hir face.\n\nThere was a shoot of fear through his body as hir paw pressed down firmly on his back. Hir other paw flashing out and grabbing at his shoulder, squeezing it hard, the tips of the claws digging into his skin. He tried to twist away, but hir grip was to strong. Shi pulled hir paw from his ass and grabbed his other shoulder, holding him in place as shi moved hir body above him. Shi didn't show much care for him as hir weight dropped down onto his back, forcing him to gasp, his arms buckling as he nearly fell back down into the mud.\n\nShi snorted out, hir tail flicking back to slide up between his legs, forcing them apart while at the same time rubbing her scales along his balls. With one hind paw, shi forced his legs ever further apart and started to grind against his back. He could feel hir scales rub at his back, thankfully helping the itch. Hir small (compared to the other dragoness) breasts teased at his skin, hir nipples rock hard.\n\nIt wasn't just hir tits that were hard as he started to feel hir shaft dropping down to rub against his ass, the head exploring over his butt and already leaking precum. It was slick against his ass, helping to wash off some of the mud. It kept exploring around as shi grunted over him, pressing up between the cheeks of his rear.\n\n\"No, no-no-no,\" Alan said, trying to squirm out from under hir as the hard cock teased around, the fat head searching for his ass. There was no way he could take any of the dragons, not with the sizes he had seen on them. They had to know that, but it seemed like this one just didn't care.\n\nHe could feel the head of hir shaft rubbing along his crack, getting closer and closer to his asshole. It wasn't like he hadn't been fucked before; he was a fan of cocks in every way, but never anything like this, this was just too much! He squirmed under hir, trying to get free, trying to discourage hir, but all that he achieved was making hir starting to chirp in pleasure.\n\nAlan kept trying to pull away, but shi just held him in place, hir shaft getting closer and closer, the head of it brushing over his tight hole. Desperate for any sort of help he called out, but no one came to his aid. Finally he grabbed a handful of mud and threw it across the pen. His aim was straight and true, and it arched through the air and hit the violet dragon on hir side.\n\nShi lifted hir head up and turned to look at the human and dragoness. Shi studied them for a moment, then with an amused look shi stood up and started to stalk across the mud. His feeling of relief was short lived as shi moved up to where the white dragoness was sleeping and nuzzled hir awake. Lifting hir head, the white dragoness looked at the violet one then over to where Alan was. They both turned their attention the him, then with a smirk the violet dragoness moved to mouth hir partner, both of them watching as the blue dragoness tried to rape him.\n\nThe dragoness above him decided shi liked the audience, let out a chirp, and stroked a claw down his arm until it reached the mud, then grabbing a pawful shi smashed it into his mouth, preventing any more protests. Holding hir paw there, shi let out a low chirping and squeezed his shoulder with hir other paw. Shi was starting to wiggle hir hips, teasing the fat head of hir cock along the crack of his ass, dribbling a slick trail of precum in its wake.\n\nHe struggled under hir, trying to break free but with no luck. All it seemed to do was to make the dragoness even hotter, hir cock probing and exploring at his rear end, searching for his anus. Shi was getting closer by the moment and there was nothing he could do to stop it. He looked at the other dragoness, begging for help, but it wasn't coming.\n\nHir tail flicked up to rub along the inside of his legs as shi finally found hir goal, the tip of her fat cock head pressing against his hole. Shi held it in place for a moment, then slowly started to grind hir hips around, teasing the head against him, the precum making everything feel slick. Then without any more warning then a soft chirp shi thrust the head into him. It went in feeling larger than anything he had ever taken before. It pulled him tight, like he had a whole arm being forced into him, yet it wasn't stopping, more of hir fat cock head working its way inside of him. Just when it felt like he was going to be split in half the pleasure eased as the head popped fully into his ass.\n\nHe clawed at the ground, crying out into the mouthful of mud. It was huge, bigger then what he imagined a fist would feel like. He had never been this filled before, and it was only just the head of hir shaft, and shi was as big as any of the other dragons in the pen.\n\nSnorting happily, the dragoness started to wiggle hir hips again, working the head of hir shaft around just inside his ass. Slowly shi teased it around, letting the precum flow freely into him. Taking the paw away from his face, shi grabbed his shoulder, squeezing gently at them, then started to press hirself deeper. The thick member pressed inside of him, slowly make its way into his body, the head sliding along his colon and deep into his bowels. Shi seemed to be taking her time, teasing him as shi did so.\n\nAlan snorted and spat out as much of the mud as he could, but it was still thick and heavy in his mouth. He looked at the violet dragoness, trying to beg for help, but this just seemed to make hir fuck the other dragoness even harder. Finally he couldn't watching them anymore, instead he was more focused on the shaft that was slowly splitting him. The blue dragoness had started with short thrusts into him, each one pushing hie shaft in a little deeper, forcing it in, inch by girthy inch.\n\nIt was so tight he could feel the veins along the length of it, rubbing against his insides and starting to tease at his prostate. He had never thought he could take anything like this, and yet there was more of it pressing into him every few moments. It felt good, it felt very good, and he couldn't help himself; his own erection coming unbidden, rising up to rub at his mud covered belly.\n\nThis didn't escape her notice, and hir tail flicked up between his legs to start to tease at him, stroking the blunt tip along the underside of his shaft then down along his balls, hir scales teasing at the soft skin. It made him groan and squirm under hir, which just seemed to increase hir lust. Shi pressed hirself in deeper, sinking the thick shaft in until it could go no deeper, less than half hir massive length forced inside of him. The dragoness let out a snort at this, then squeezed his shoulders harder, slipping back until the fat head was pulling at his ass and then trust back into him, shoving him forward against hir paws.\n\nThrowing his head back, he let out a low cry that echoed through the barn. It wasn't a cry of pain, but of pleasure, no matter how tight he was, the huge cock felt good inside of him, his own shaft twitching in excitement. Above him the dragoness snorted again and thrust into him a second time, hir head teasing as deep as it could go, making him feel like it was pressing right into his belly.\n\nShi squeezed him one more time, hir tail teasing along the length of his shaft, stroking it with a gentle touch as shi started to pick up speed, getting comfortable with his tight ass. Shi fanned out hir wings, flapping them down with each thrust of hir powerful length, starting to slide a bit easier as he finally started to loosen up, precum squishing around hir cock as shi took him.\n\nHir cries were growing louder, starting to fill the barn, it had woken all the other dragons, and they had decided to watch the show. They weren't idle, the violet dragoness was still fucking the white, and the brown dragoness was being double penetrated by the red and the orange, their own cries of pleasure joining in. Alan didn't care about the audience at the moment, it was just feeling far too good. He closed his eyes, finding himself starting to thrust back against the thick shaft, feeling it try to press deeper into him.\n\nThe dragoness seemed to sense this, teasing his shaft more with hir tail while lowering hir head down to lick over his face, teasing it along his cheeks and chin before shi slipped into his mouth to explore over it. After a few moments he started to return hir odd kiss, whimpering with each thrust shi made into him, starting to feel hir heavy balls swaying up against his own sack.\n\n\"Harder,\" he finally whimpered out from round hir tongue, thrusting himself back against hir. Shi was happy to do just that, bracing hir hind paws in the mud and slamming hard into him. His whole body was rocking under hir, thrusting forward and skidding a bit in the mud. Shi didn't let up, working hard against him with each and every slam of hir cock inside of his body.\n\nThen without warning something firm and wide pressed up against his ass. It stretched at it, but couldn't quite make it in and prevented hir from fucking him any harder. With each thrust is pushing hard at his ass, hir balls slapping against him, making him whimper.\n\nFinally he pulled a hand free from the mud and reached back, grabbing at hir cock, feeling it slide through his fingers as shi pulled out until just the head was locked inside. Shi then thrust back into him, slamming him forward as her long shaft sank into his body. He grabbed at the heavy base of the shaft, feeling a thick wall of flesh around it, pulsing with the beating of hir heart.\n\nAlan felt a jolt run through his body as he realized what he was feeling. It was a knot! That meant that he was taking every inch of hir length into his body, and that had to have been well over a foot and a half of dragon cock! He had no idea how it was even possible!\n\nHe squeezed as the knot, feeling it swell under his fingers. It was big, very big, and with how hard it was to get the head in, he doubted shi could fit the knot inside his ass... though he somehow knew shi was going to try. Shi pulled back, hir shaft sliding against his hand before slamming back into him, shoving him even further along the mud, getting closer to the draconic threeway. He whimpered and clenched himself around hir girth, starting to stroke the length as shi pounded into him.\n\nThe dragoness started to kiss him again, pressing hir mouth firmly against his lips as shi pounded into him. He kissed hir back, enjoying the taste of hir muzzle as he pressed his tongue against hir's. He continued working and teasing his hand along hir pounding shaft, squeezing against the knot as he felt hir heavy balls start pull tight to hir body.\n\nShi dug hir claws against his shoulders, breaking off their kiss as shi slammed into him as hard as shi could. Throwing hir head back shi let out a cry as shi finally came. Hot dragon seed flooded into his ass, filling him in a moment and making him gasp out. The fit was so tight he could feet it pumping down the length of hir shaft, the twitch cock rubbing up against his prostate. After a few moments it was simply too much for him, and letting out a high pitched cry of his own he came as well, his cum shooting hard from his shaft to cover hir tail.\n\nFanning out hir wings, the dragoness let go of his shoulders and wrapped hir arms around his body, pulling him in close as shi trust against him, crying out a second time as another heavy load of cum exploded inside of him. It filled him like nothing before, making his belly swell out with the heavy seed and gasp out in pleasure.\n\nWith a moan, Alan fell down against hir arms, panting as the waves of pleasure broke against him and washed away his worries and cares. It felt so good to be held under this powerful animal, speared by hir massive shaft, and taking hir whether he wanted it or not. It was almost the sort of life he could get used to... almost.\n\nSlowly the dragoness lowered him down to the muddy floor, holding him down as shi slowly pulled hir shaft out of him. He found himself turning his head back to watch, gasping at just how much of hir shaft he had taken. It was even bigger then he had thought at first, and even as it was getting soft it was still a sight to behold. Hir fat head pulled out of him with a wet pop, cum flooding out after it. It soaked over his legs and into the mud.\n\nShi didn't seem to care. The dragoness just gave him a quick lick across the face and sauntered off across the pen.\n\nAfter a few moments of thought he decided that he wasn't going to find a better place for the night then right there. Putting his head down on his arms he curled up in the mud and cum, letting himself drift off to sleep, a deep rumbling echoing through his body.\n\n\\ \\* \\*\n\nA sound like thunder ran through the barn, echoing over the walls and forcing Alan awake. He lifted his head up from the mud, blinking his eyes as he searched for the source of the sound. Around him the dragoness were all moving towards the back wall of the pen, rushing over each other in the process.\n\nRubbing his hands across his face, he pulled himself up to his feet, his body feeling sticky with the cum and his ass aching. Each step he took felt very odd, cum still dribbling down his dirty legs. He had to take his time as he walked, bowlegged beyond belief.\n\nHe approached the dragonesses, surprised to see that a section of the wall was slowly sliding upwards. Tracing it up the wall he saw that it was basically a large garage door, and on the other side he could see sunlight and grass. As soon as there was enough room the orange dragoness pressed hirself to the ground and squirmed out under the door, the blue one following a few moments later. The rest of them waited until the door as a bit higher before heading outside, the violet dragoness hanging back in the pen, turning hir head back to look at Alan.\n\nThe young man walked up to the dragoness, looking between hir and the outdoors just on the other side of the wall. \"Am... am I allowed outside?\" he asked.\n\nShi cocked hir head to the side, fanning out hir wings to block off the open doorway for a few moments looking intently at him. Then, with a chitterling laugh, shi tucked hir wings back to hir side and walked out the open door.\n\nAlan decided that was permission enough, he stepped down carefully out of the mud of the pen and onto the thick grass. As his eyes adjusted to the light he saw that they weren't really outside, but in a large pen, fenced in on all four sides as well as across the top. It was big enough for the dragoness to stretch their wings, but not enough to let them actually fly.\n\nThe farmer was standing just outside the fence, a smirk on his face as he looked over the young man. \"I see someone has been busy.\"\n\nA blush crossed over his face as he clenched his ass, trying to keep the last of the cum from dripping out, but his legs were already covered with it. He just turned away from the large man, trying not to make it obvious. \"It wasn't exactly my idea,\" he finally said, his voice a bit raspy.\n\n\"I'm not surprised, Blue Beam is very aggressive when shi wants something, but it looks like you wanted it too,\" he said with a smirk, bending down to pick up something from the ground next to the fence.\n\nHis blush grew brighter as he looked down at his belly, the dried cum clearly visible for everyone to see. Even worse, as he thought back about every that had happened, he felt himself starting to get hard again. He dropped his hand to cover it, which didn't do much as it rose right out from behind his hands and bounced in front of him. He was surprised at how big he looked, in fact he looked down right huge compared to what he should be.\n\nOutside the pen the farmer stood up, holding the end of a fire hose. \"You had better brace yourself girls,\" he said with a smile, then turned on the water. It blasted through the links of the fence, spraying over all six of the dragons and Alan. While the herms were braced for the impact the force of it blasted him off his feet, sending him sprawling back on the grass.\n\nThe farmer passed the water across the pen, pointed it at each dragoness in turn. They all stood in the high powered stream, shifting their bodies to get the majority of the mud off. All but the white dragoness, shi seemed to hold back as far as shi could until all the others had been washed clean. Finally shi moved forward and let herself be washed off, though from the look on hir muzzle it was under protest. As the mud slide off, it reviled the bright highlights of hir blond mane which flashed in the sunlight. Shi shook the water off, then moved to the back corner to pout.\n\n\"You had better brace yourself, it's your turn now,\" he said, starting to move the stream of water towards Alan. He did as he was told, standing up and bracing himself as best as he could. The water hit him on the side of his legs first, nearly knocking them out from under him and washing the mud away from his skin.\n\nThe farmer worked the water up along Alan's body, making sure to hit the worst parts of mud with an extra blast, washing it all away. He closed his eyes as the water rose up to blast over his face, soaking his hair down to the scalp. Turning around he allowed the water to work back down from his head and along his back, jumping as it hint a tender spot in the center of his back. He took some extra time to focus on his abused ass, getting it well clean before working on down the young man's legs.\n\n\"There you are, nice and clean. Take some time to dry off and I'll tidy up your pen. And we will not have any horsing around this time. I do not want to attract any extra attention.\"\n\nAlan turned back around, looking down at the farmer. \"What about food?\"\n\nThe man smirked a bit and crossed his arms over his chest. \"Well, I'll be feeding them when I let you all back in the pen, where you get your food is up to them.\"\n\nLetting out a sigh, he nodded his head and pressed it against the fence as the farmer walked away. What was he supposed to do while he waited to maybe get some food, just stand around on the soft grass? He turned back around to look at the dragoness, only to find that all six of them were laying down on their backs in the grass, their breasts jutting high up in the air. They were all close together, each one touch the other wing their wings and tails.\n\nWith a shake of his head he decide that he might as well join them. Finding an open spot he laid down on the grass, finding it rather soft on his back, though the heavy collar around his neck was digging into his shoulders. He had almost forgotten that it was ever there.\n\nClosing his eyes, he relaxed in the sunlight, feeling it dry off his skin as he felt a tail flick down to rub along his leg. He scratched at his skin, finding that it was still itching. In fact it felt rather strange, like he was still covered in dried mud. After about ten minutes he opened his eyes and lifted his head, looking down at his belly. The mud had dried down a white color, but it didn't look right. It wasn't dry and dusty like he would expect, instead it was smooth and shiny.\n\nHe stroked his fingers over the dried mud, finding that it wasn't just flaking off and was perfectly smooth. Finally he tried to peal it off of his skin, but as he grabbed at the mud and pulled he felt a sharp jolt of pain run through his body, enough that it made him cry out. He took his hand away for a moment, then rubbed at his belly, reeling that it was tender where he had pulled. The dragoness looked up at his sharp cry, the three collard ones letting out a chitterling laugh that harmonized with each other.\n\nAlan frowned, looking down at his belly, rubbing at the dried mud again. Slowly he pulled himself up to his feet, swaying a bit as he reached around to rub at his back, feeling the same slick dried mud over his ass and the small of his back, but this time it was rough... and there was something odd right at the base of his spine.\n\nThe dragonesses started to talk with their chitterling voices, nudging at each other and looking over at the young man. Finally the violet dragoness let out a sigh and pulled hirself up to hir feet and walked over to the man. Shi snorted and pressed hir side against his legs and chest, looking up at him with narrow eyes.\n\n\"What? I don't understand,\" he protested.\n\nShi rolled hir eyes and shook hir head, then lifting up hir tail shi smacked it down against his hand, forcing it down onto hir back.\n\nLetting out his own sigh he rested his hand on hir scales, feeling them moving under his touch. They were warm and slick, much like the dried mud. In fact it felt almost exactly like the mud on his back. With his other hand, he touched his belly, feeling the mud moving under his fingers, flexing as his breathed, warm under his touch. On the other hand the dried mud on his back felt different, in fact it felt closer to hir scales... in fact it felt exactly like hir scales. Letting out a gasp he twisted his head around, looking at his back. It wasn't mud, it was scales. He had scales!\n\nWith a yelp he leaped back from the violet dragon and started to paw at the scales on his back, feeling where they ended and his skin began. The edge was flat, one easily turning into the other. Turning his attention to his belly he looked at it again. It wasn't like the scales but it was more slick and leathery, the color starting to darken around the sides of his belly while getting rougher. \"What's happening to me?\" he asked, looking at the dragons, as if they could answer.\n\nBut answer they did, the orange dragoness and the white dragoness both got up stood next to the violet one. Each one of them lifted up their heads, showing up the heavy collar that sat around the base of their neck. Each collar was identical to the other, thick leather with some simple metal pieces.\n\nReaching up, he felt the collar around his own neck, feeling the leather and the small metal pieces. It was exactly the same as all theirs.\n\n\"You... you were people once?\"\n\nAll three of them nodded their heads, the violet one smirking a bit.\n\n\"And them?\" he asked, looking to the other dragoness.\n\nThe blue dragoness lifted up hir head and let out a long snort of distaste before shi returned to sunning hirself. The remaining two dragoness's didn't even bother to move, though the brown one let out a soft chirp. It seemed pretty clear that they simply didn't care for the idea. Alan look at the three dragons in front of him, looking at the smirks across their faces. The violet dragoness lifted up hir head, moving until shi was eye to eye with him, then licked him gently across the face. Shi let out a soft chirp and then back away a bit. The three looked at each other then back to him, like they were expecting him to say something.\n\nHe found himself stumbling back from the dragoness, not taking his eyes off of them until he backed up against the fence. He pressed himself against it, feeling the links rubbing at the tender spots on his back. It couldn't be possible, could it? Could the farmer be somehow be turning him into a dragon? How was that even possible? It just... it seemed too fantastic, even if he was looking at six of them.\n\n\"I commend you,\" the farmer said from behind him.\n\nAlan spun around, glaring down at the farmer through the links of the fence. \"I'm not... I'm not going to become one of your animals,\" he sputtered out.\n\nThe farmer just ignored him. \"The majority of my girls don't understand what is happening to them until the really enjoyable parts.\"\n\nHe ground his teeth, staring hard down at the farmer before feeling a chill running down his back. He was taller than the famer, by a good six inches, yet when he was caught by the farmer Alan had been the short one. He had grown at least two feet taller! He looked back down at himself, lifting up one foot to look at it. His toe nails were turning black.\n\n\"Don't concern yourself, it is very pleasant. I don't want any of my girls to feel discomfort,\" the farmer replied, looking back at the dragons, a small smile on his face as well as what cloud be mistaken for pride.\n\n\"Is that what you told those three when you changed them?\" he snapped, pointing at the other collar dragons.\n\nThe smile on his face turned into a full smirk. \"My dear girl, I've changed far more than those three. My dragons are a precious commodity, each and everyone a special order... except for you. I am making you for my own purposes. I am sure you will not mind in the end.\"\n\nAlan wrapped his fingers through the links of the fence, letting out a low growl that came from somewhere deep inside of his body. \"And this is how you want me to repay you, to be something you can sell?!\"\n\n\"Oh no, this is just the vehicle for your repayment. That will come later. Very well my girls, the pen has been cleaned and the food is in the troth. Back inside!\"\n\nThe dragons all nodded and started back towards the door, returning into the mud covered pen. The violet dragoness once again stayed behind, hir eyes on Alan as he stood in place. Shi started to nose at him, trying to push him along, but he wasn't willing to budge, glaring at the farmer.\n\n\"Aurora, if you would?\" he asked.\n\nThe violet dragoness nodded hir head then looked back up at Alan. Shi let out a rather sharp chirp and lifted herself up onto hir haunches, hir four breasts shaking against hir chest. Shi gave him an intent look, but when he didn't move hir tail swept around and hit him across the back of the knees and knocked him off of his feet. He let out a yelp as he fell back while shi jumped forward, wrapping hir forelegs around him and pinning him to hir chest.\n\n\"Good girl,\" the farmer said.\n\nShi chirped at the praise, then holding him against hir soft breasts drug him out of the grassy enclosure and back into the pen. As soon as they crossed the threshold the door rumbled and started to sink closed behind him to shut with a heavy thud that echoed through the barn.\n\nThe violet dragoness, Aurora, let him go, dropping him back down to the mud. He landed with a on his belly, his limbs sliding out from under him. He laid there, trying to understand everything he had just been told. His head was still spinning from it all, making him dizzy as the smell of the mud filled his nose.\n\nWhat did the farmer want with him? How would he be able to repay anything as one of the dragonesses? He was just confused by everything, how could the farmer change any of them? It sounded like magic, but there wasn't any such thing! Then again, he had accepted the dragoness without even a second thought.\n\nFinally he pulled himself up out of the mud, wiping it off his face. Looking around he saw that the other dragons had moved to the food troth, pressing in to receive their meal. The only holdout was the white dragoness. Shi was on hir back, flipping and rolling around in the mud, making sure to cover every inch of hirself with it.\n\nHe stood upright, flexing his toes in the mud, feeling it squish deeply between them. He lifted one up and took a closer look, surprised to see that his toes nails had grown in the short time he had been outside. The tips of each one were starting to turn into claws. Alan carefully put his foot back down, taking a step forward only for the mud to pull at his feet. He found himself falling yet again into the mud. Something that was becoming far too common in his opinion. He pulled himself up onto his hands and knees, starting to crawl across the mud, heading for the troth. He wanted some solid food, if they would actually let him eat.\n\nOnce again, as he neared the troth, the dragoness moved to block his way. He didn't bother to protest, he just sat down in the mud and put his head in his hands. What was he supposed to do? The dragons wouldn't let him get out of the pen, in fact they seemed more interested in watching him change... which was quite possibly the case. But he had agreed to this, even though he hadn't known what he was getting into. He had let the farmer put the collar on him and to be thrown into the pen, all to avoid the embarrassment of being caught with a horse. Maybe that embarrassment was preferable to becoming one of these herd animals.\n\nReaching down, he pushed the mud off his belly, looking at the smooth scales that were growing over him. His nipples were starting to grow darker as the new flesh wrapped around them. They had grown lager as well, standing out promptly on his chest. He stroked his fingers over them, feeling a jolt of pleasure rush through his body, making him gasp as his shaft twitch in excitement and his nipples got hard.\n\nThere was something else as well, feelings like he had never had before. He looked closer at his chest, past large nipples. He could see areas on his white belly that were still pink. There were small points that looked like small version of his nipples. With a shaking had he reached down to touch them, sending another jolt of pleasure rushing through his body, spurring his shaft into swelling out a bit more. At the same time there was a new feeling, deep inside of him, down between his legs.\n\nA huge weight started to form in the center of his gut as he looked back at the dragonesses watching their tails swaying as they ate, reveling a line of mixed sexes stacked between their legs. What he saw reminded him again of what he already knew. Every single one of the dragoness were a hermaphrodite.\n\nWith a quavering hand he slowly reached down, sliding it between his legs. He slipped his fingers up under his balls, touching the skin between it and his ass. It was no longer smooth flesh, instead he could feel the slick scales already forming, as well as what could only be the developing folds of a female sex...\n\nTo Be Continued...\n\n\\-=-=-=-=-=-\n\nThis story was written and copyright 2012 by Theo Winters, reposting and archiving are allowed as long as this copyright notice and the author's name are not removed.

A week ago my pregnant friend stuffed a hose in me and made me swell up like a balloon.\n\"That's impossible though - that's not even remotely, humanly possible. Am I turning into a cartoon?\" I give a slight puff on my thumb and I can feel my chest swell a bit with air.\nA smug look comes across my face as I get the urge to puff more and increase my breasts. I know that if I were to walk around with larger breasts, my friends would think I gotten a boob job or something.\nI roll out of bed and stretch, \"Good thing I set up that doctor's appointment. It's time to see if I'm crazy or I'm a balloon.\"\nI slip out of my pajamas and into a white button up blouse and tan capri pants. Slipping on my favorite white sneakers and grabbing my keys as I head out to the local clinic. One thing I distinctly remember about this particular clinic is the boring waiting room. After several minutes of flipping through dull magazines, a nurse enters.\n\"Sims. Ms. Sims,\" a blonde nurse with little blue scrubs calls out.\nI stand and follow the nurse to a small patient room. She smiles to me and shuts the door behind her as she leaves me in the room alone.\n\"I've gotta be crazy...I wonder if the doctor will lock me up,\" I frown, looking down at my body with a whimper. Another puff of air makes my breasts plump slightly, confirming the reality of my inflation.\n\"Ms. Sims, how are you doing today?\" the doctor says as he enters with a clipboard in his hands. Although, he isn't my usually doctor he should do. He's an older man in his fortys. He has slight gray just behind his ears that offsets his thick brown hair. His face looks long and serious but his smile is convincing. He sets his clipboard on the counter and gives me a friendly look.\n\"I've been better Doc.\"\n\"Please, call me Dr. Johnson. So what brings you to see me?\" he smiles at me.\nI feel myself blush instantly from that question. Who wouldn't when you're about to tell a man with such intelligence in the medical field that I can do something no one else can.\n\"Well Doc, I can inflate...\" My voice trails off to a mumble.\nHe raises his eyebrow at me, \"You mean you feel bloated or have some swelling?\"\n\"No, I mean I can blow up like a balloon,\" I say, not wanting to explain fully.\nHe flips through my chart and reads for a moment. \"It's normal for a woman your age to have cases of swelling from time to time.\"\n\"You don't understand. I can inflate like a balloon, last week I filled up with water.\"\nHe just kind of blinks at me as if his mind has shut off, \"You filled up with water?\"\n\"Yes! I can expand like a human balloon. Let me show you,\" I look around the room and spot an oxygen mask, \"Here, hand me that mask.\" He hesitates a moment before handing the mask to me.\n\"When I put this on, turn the air on so I can inhale faster and show you.\" I say before pulling it on, and watching him turn it on as I start inflating I take in as much oxygen as I can and I start to feel my chest expand. Dr. Johnson examines my chest as I take in more and more air. My top is pulling tighter and cleavage is forming. He obviously has never seen anything like this and seems to want to touch my chest.\n\"May I?\" he asks as he gestures to feel my chest.\nI nod to him and help him unbutton my shirt, showing my white, overflowing B cup bra to the world. He gently feels the density of my chest.\n\"This is amazing, can more than just your breasts inflate?\"\n\"My stomach can inflate too, Doc.\"\nI continue to inhale more oxygen and my belly starts to puff up. I unbutton my blouse lower and expose my stomach to him.\nHe makes a very concerned look and rubs my skin, \"Your skin is different than I've ever seen. It's extremely flexable and seems to strech far more than normal. It looks as if all your skin is this way and that it can hold an extreme amount of content and pressure.\"\nHe pushes his hands firmly into my belly as I start to look like I had a big meal with matching double D sized boobs that overflow my bra.\nI give a polite cough, \"Doc, you can turn the air off now.\"\nHe blushes as he gives me a small smile, \"Oh, I'm sorry Ms. Sims.\"\nThe doctor reaches over and turns the valve all the way off, \"It's is remarkable, I have to document this. Just wait right here, Ms. Sims.\"\nHe scurries out the door and I relax with the mask still on.\n\"Look at you, Nebby. I guess you aren't crazy, you're just a big balloon,\" I think to myself as I pat my large belly.\nI reach inside my blouse and take off my bra to stop it from cutting into my tits anymore. I put it beside me and button up my blouse again to try and cover myself. Another female nurse enters the room, but she's different from the first nurse. She's a brunette and has a very smug look on her face. Something about her seems weird as she stands before me in her green scrubs.\n\"Sorry to intrude but Dr. Johnson say I should prep you before he starts his documentation.\"\n\"Prep me?\" I ask the nurse.\n\"Sure!\" she says loudly as she reaches out and grabs me tightly by the neck.\nIt surprises me and I try to remove her hand only to feel something happen with the mask on my face. The same creaking sound of the oxygen turning on can be heard. She cranks the oxygen up pretty high and I feel my face inflate. The mere force of the air makes me unable to stop it. It holds my mouth open so I can't talk and freely pushes into my nose and mouth. With her hand firmly around my neck it can't enter my body and my cheeks began to puff up, tightening the straps of the mask against my face. She releases her hand from my neck and laughs as the oxygen starts to enter the rest of me. Her reaction to my situation is joy. She loves me blowing up, although I still don't know how big I can get. I don't need some stupid nurse blowing me up for her own enjoyment. My stomach seems to take most of this inflation and pulls the middle of my blouse tighter, stretching the shirt so that you can see my skin in between the buttons.\n\"Jeez, Ms. Sims you are looking very bloated today,\" she taunts me as she tickles my skin from between the buttons.\nI try to lean forward to grab her but leaning forward is gone now, as my breasts join in on the expansion. My chest is pulling on my blouse just like my belly, when with a pop, a button bursts off of my blouse near my stomach.\n\"Aww, poor Ms. Sims. Did your mother not give you clothes that you could grow into?\" I blush as she leans close enough to me to grab handfuls of my boobs. \"At least you were smart enough to wear something that can leave room for growth. Those capris however, looks like they just might burst off.\"\nMore creaking is heard as she increases the pressure of oxygen getting pumped into me.\nAs I panic at the increased flow, I begin to wonder, \"Why did she say that? It's not like my legs inflate.\"\nI feel myself begin to rise a bit as my butt cheeks start to puff up. I grab them with my hands and feel them expanding.\n\"No fucking way!\" I think.\n\"Doctor Johnson told me that only your breasts and stomach could inflate. Somehow I believed your whole body could. I should really let you fill all the way out so the doctor can record it,\" she says while two more buttons fly off my blouse.\nI hold my now beach ball like stomach and growl at her. I despise that she's using me as her play thing. Like a child wanting a balloon much bigger and better than everyone else's. My thighs pull the fabric of my pants really tight and my calves inflate freely. Angrily, I watch her take my socks and shoes off and play with my feet.\n\"This one went to the doctor,\" she says, pinching my big toe, \"this one should have stayed at home. This one got a mask stuck on it's face. This one got inflated real big. And this one...\" I feel her pinch my little toe. She leans up to me and shoves my bloated belly back, making me lay on the bed. Still holding my smallest toe she says, \"This one's going to explode!\"\nWith her free hand she breaks the oxygen valve on the wall so it blow full force and it can't be stopped. It blows down the hose and into my mask with immense pressure. Making my cheeks and throat balloon up to contain it. The nurse releases my toe and steps back to admire her work. The air pushes into me so hard, I feel every inch of my body quiver as it is forced to expand. Waving my arms doesn't do much, I doubt she can see them from where she stands. With beach ball like tits and a stomach that is 4 feet in diameter, I don't blame her. My ass surges out and rips my pants to shreds, my thighs, calves, and feet join in with the growth. My body straightens out as my arms go out to my sides and my legs are pushed out straight. Laying flat on the bed as I balloon up so fast, the nurse walks around me, running a finger along my thigh, then my side, then my boob.\n\"My my. Ms. Sims, you look big and healthy. I'd love to stick around and watch the finale, but I got other patients to check on,\" she says the whole time with a smile. She doesn't even care if I explode or not. \"Ciao, Nebby,\" she says with a wave.\nI'm dumbstruck by a massive sense of deja-vu. I don't focus on it long as even if she's gone, I'm still inflating like there's no tomorrow. All I can do is nervously look around my mask and see my cleavage stretch out as my breasts get to a size the world has never seen before. My thighs and sides of my round stomach hang off the bed and continue to swell bigger. My fingers and toes puff up and grow very tight, even my lips have puffed up inside the mask so full force of the air can't enter. It all blows into my nose and it doesn't seem to be slowing.\n\"Oh my God!\" I hear a voice from my side.\nI can't see who it is from my girth. I wiggle my puffy fingers and toes to get his attention and stop this expansion.\n\"Ms. Sims, what are you doing?\" I hear and feel hands on my body pushing on my belly and thighs.\nIt sounds like the doctor but it's hard to hear over the sound of my body hissing. He shuffles things around in the drawer of the counter and finds a large part of scissors. Cutting the hose stops the tremendous flow of air into me. The doctor grabs the part of the hose still attached to my mask.\n\"Can you release the air, Ms. Sims?\" he asks looking nervously at my stomach that is 6 feet in diameter.\nI'm surprised he isn't laughing at me as well, I'm so big and round.

Now she had what appeared to be a pair of volleyballs grafted to her chest, straining her pyjama top.\n\"What the..\" She gasped, leaping out of bed and sending her breasts jiggling back and forth. Barely able to keep calm, she stood before her mirror, noticing that her hips and bottom were also much curvier than before.\n\"What is this..\" She touched her breasts, noting that despite their size, they were unnaturally light.She reached for her phone and dialed up the number for her GP.\n\"We're sorry, but the line is busy..\"\n\"Shit!\"\nShe was about to get dressed when suddenly..\"ACHOOO!\"\nThe sneeze was quickly followed by the sound of fabric ripping and a faint hissing. She opened her eyes to see her breasts and hips had increased in size by several inches, bursting her clothes open.She was now officially freaked out.\nDeciding to see her doctor personally, she pulled on several different clothes, trying to find something that fit. She reluctantly settled on a baggy sweater which was not so baggy as it clung to her boobs, the hem pulled up to expose her slim midriff, and some tracksuit bottoms she could only just stretch around her arse. She carefully stepped outside her apartment, trying not to send her bosom wobbling wildly with each step. She hadn't gone far when she heard footsteps approaching.\n\"Nina!\" It was her neighbour Milly, a cute, slim, bubbley blond. Except she wasn't so bubbley, or slim at that moment. She appeared to have become nine months pregnant overnight, her round belly peeking out of her open blouse.\n\"Jesus, what happened to you?\" Nina moved to comfort the crying girl.\n\"I don't know!\" Milly wailed, prodding her gut. \"I just woke up and... this was here!\"\n\"It happened to me too.\" Nina replied.\n\"What's happen...

Now!\"\nIt took some time to squeeze Milly into the back of her compact, but soon they were driving into town. But when they reached the local hospital, they were greeted with an incredible sight.\nA long queue made of dozens of people stood outside the hospital's entrance, waiting to get in. Every single person was a woman, and every one was as gravid as they were, their clothing barely holding their breasts and bellies in.\" Jesus, no wonder I couldn't get him on the phone.\" Nina spoke.\n\"What the hell is going on?\" Milly spoke softly.\n\"Beats me...\" Nina spotted a Starbucks across the road. \"Let's get a drink, see if someone knows anything.\"\nInside they found several patrons, both round and unaffected, watching the news on a mounted TV. The pretty newscaster spoke calmly and professionally.\n\"..And our main story, reports are coming in of a strange illness affecting towns in the northern areas.

She shook her head, moaning slightly as she recalled the events of the past hours - knocked unconscious, transported to the setting of a fantasy epic, made a friend, lost a friend, knocked out again, got stabbed in the leg, killed four people, and escaped through a forbidding forest to...this?\n\nArchet is what Amdir called it. And it was Middle-Earth prior to the destruction of the Ring of Power. But what was the actual date? More significantly for her, when would the moon next be full? She'd have to be cautious about that last question, Celandine and Amdir seemed very open-minded. Others probably wouldn't be.\n\nShe made her way downstairs to be greeted, unfortunately, by Mundo. \"Good Morning, or rather afternoon isn't it? Were you intending to sleep the entire day, girl?\"\n\n\"No, but try to understand that I've had as stressful a day as you did. Where are Celandine and Amdir?\"\n\nHe shrugged impatiently. \"They're outside, wanting to see you. Gracious, would you look at this place? This is nothing like home! And they say I must stay here till those Blackwold fellows are dealt with. Outrageous, I tell you! But...but you go talk to that Amdir fellow.\"\n\n\"'Kay...thanks.\" Lord above, she thought. A land ofHobbits and she should meet that one.\n\nHeather found the two just outside the pub, with Celandine tending Amdir's wounds. Amdir caught sight of her, and Heather saw the young man for the first time in full daylight.\n\nHe's gorgeous, she squealed inwardly to herself.\n\n\"Ah, Heather. It is good to see you whole and hale. You proved yourself quite the heroine, leading the hobbits and me here to Archet last evening. I must confess that I do not recall much of the journey.\"\n\nHeather knelt down to see the wound that Amdir had suffered. It looked pretty bad, with a diamond shaped puncture and laceration that oozed semidried blood and fluid. The surrounding flesh had taken on a grayish pallor. Heather rolled up her trouser leg and saw that her own injury, while somewhat painful, looked comparatively healthy. Amdir's shoulder looked like it would shortly develop blood poisoning or something worse.\n\n\"Do you have antibiotics here? Any penicillin or the like?\" Amdir shook his head, raising his healthy hand. \"Nay, do not concern yourself with my injuries; though they appear grave, I have taken worse. My only fear is that the blade may have been poisoned, but young Celandine is seeing to my needs.\"\n\n\"There is a task you could do, Heather, that requires immediate attention. Captain Brackenbrook, the founder of the garrison here in Archet, suffers my presence only because of my injuries. Few in Breeland trust Rangers.\"\n\n\"As I had mentioned to you before, I came to Archet to learn what connection there was between the Blackwolds and the Nazgûl. Here I met Jon Brackenbrook, the son of Captain Brackenbrook. I learned from him the location of the Blackwold camp and of Celandine and Mundo's capture.\" Amdir sighed heavily, but whether from pain or disappointment, Heather couldn't tell.\n\n\"Jon and his father had a falling out recently. Jon believed that Calder Cob, a member of his father's regiment, was in league with the Blackwolds. Before you and I met, I witnessed Cob and Éogan discussing a raid on the town. Jon's suspicions are correct, and his father must be warned. Heather, Captain Brackenbrook would not heed a warning from me, his distrust of Rangers clouds his senses. You, however, he may very well listen to. Please, just let him know what I know. He should be in his office.\"\n\n\"Of course, Amdir; I'll do whatever I can.\" Heather stood up to leave, snapping her fingers as she did so. \"Just one thing though...the date, what is it?\" Amdir thought for a few moments. \"The date, yes...it's the first of September.\"\n\nSeptember first, she thought as she hurried up to the garrison. But the moon, would it be full tonight? The thoughts nagged at her as she introduced herself to the Captain.\n\n\"Pleased to meet you Miss...?\"\n\n\"Peters, Heather Peters. Captain Brackenbrook, if I'm not mistaken?\"\n\n\"Indeed Miss Peters. You're obviously new to this area, did you come in recently?\"\n\nHeather nodded. \"My voice gives me away, I'm sure. I came in with others just as dawn was...dawning.\" A cloud of recognition crossed the Captain's face.\n\n\"Ah, I understand. You're the one who brought the Ranger in.\" He snorted in exasperation. \"If your intention is to inform me that one of my best men is a traitor, we have nothing more to discuss. Calder Cob has already apprehended three brigands, including their leader within the past week, so enough of this 'traitor' nonsense.\"\n\nHis face softened in response to Heather's downcast expression. \"If you would like to assist us though, I suggest getting in touch with Dirk Mudbrick. There have been a number of wolves savaging the farmer's sheep recently, and someone handy with a bow is always welcomed. As for the Ranger, please do tell him to mind his own business!\"\n\nAmdir was not in the least bit surprised by this rejection.\n\n\"Brackenbrook is a good man, but he is firmly set in his ways. Cob has done his job well, too well. We'll need to find a way to expose his treachery.\" Amdir looked at Heather thoughtfully. \"So Brackenbrook wanted you to do some wolf extermination, did he? I must say, you have proven that you have some skill with that bow. Have you had any training with them before?\"\n\nHeather shook her head no. She and her mother were both very handy with .38 revolvers and nine-millimeter pistols, but she'd never tried archery. Heather thought back to the previous hours, the fact that she wasn't dead herself she simply attributed to the grace of Providence. Amdir immediately realized that he'd put this young girl in danger, albeit necessarily.\n\n\"Hmmm, well. While the wolves of this part of the Chetwood aren't as fierce as elsewhere, they can still be quite dangerous to the inexperienced hunter.\" He thought a moment. \"Darren Mills is well respected, and he's always willing to help the aspiring archer. If I remember correctly, there is a bit of a market in the alley behind us, you can probably find him there.\n\nAs Amdir had indicated, there was a small marketplace in the alley, mostly weapons and armour with a few odds and ends whose purposes she couldn't fathom. Heather found Mills easily enough; he was in the process of refletching several lethal-looking arrows.\n\n\"Thought you'd have a go at hunting, eh? If so, you've certainly picked the right time for it. I take it that you're not ignorant of the hassles that the local highwaymen have been giving us as of lately?\"\n\nHeather chuckled. \"Not exactly; Amdir tells me that you're the one to see about learning to hunt properly.\" Darren bowed modestly. \"It's not just about archery of course, but we would start you off with your bow and arrows. To be a proper hunter, ye see, you need to be a master marksman. The idea is to finish off your target before it reaches you. The less you need to use your blades, the better a hunter you'll be. Even so, it's a foolish hunter who doesn't learn to wield a sword, so that will be a significant part of your training too.\n\nHeather nodded. \"I don't want to sound pushy or anything, but when can we get started? Amdir's in a bad way I'm afraid, and it kinda seems that I don't have much time to get good.\"\n\n\"We can work on your archery right away, like I said, it's the key skill in this job. Follow me, lass.\"\n\nThe lass followed as asked, onto the archery range several guardsmen were using. Heather rolled her eyes as she noted the lackadaisical mood exhibited by the guards. Rather than the full extension, several of the guards were drawing the string back as little as two-thirds, certainly a dangerous habit to be developing.\n\n\"Note what these men are doing...and don't take after them,\" Darren whispered. \"A full extension, Heather, the angle determines where it goes.\"\n\nShe lined up in front of one of the targets about thirty yards away, her heart beating nervously. \"I just want to get an idea of your current skill. First thing Heather, I want twenty shots aimed at your own leisure. Full extension now...good...\"\n\nBull's-eye.\n\nWhen she had loosed her twentieth arrow, Mills struggled to retain his composure. Of the twenty arrows, all but four had landed squarely in the bull's-eye, of the sixteen; six had been damaged by later arrows hitting them.\n\n\"An excellent grouping for a beginner, Heather, but you need to be able to do the same thing under combat conditions. This next group, I want twenty arrows in two minutes. Now, you have...thirty arrows in your quiver. When I say go, you reach back, grab the arrow by the fletching with your two string fingers, and as you nock the arrow, you are pulling back. Full extension...full extension, loose the arrow...and start again, understand?\"\n\n\"Yep...\"\n\n\"And...begin! One...two...three...four...\" Heather relaxed, letting her muscles perform, letting her instincts aim and release. Two minutes later, there were eleven arrows in the bull's-eye, four of them damaged.\n\nDarren let out a low whistle. He'd have been impressed if she'd gotten six in the bull's-eye, but to almost double that. No question that she had a talent for the bow. \"Heather,\" he said, \"if you'd been practicing for a month, that would have been respectable. You keep this up; you could be one of the great ones.\"\n\n\"So should I be able to handle the wolves in the area?\"\n\n\"Oh most definitely. Of course, the difference is that wolves and other foes won't stand still for long when you are shooting at them. You'll want to make that first arrow count.\"\n\nHeather nodded and returned to Amdir and Celandine. \"We saw you training, Heather, you definitely have some innate talent as a Hunter. I'd even say that you could be a Ranger with some training, save that you aren't Dúnadan. If you feel up to it, seek out Dirk Mudbrick.\" Heather of course agreed to do so, but as she turned to leave, she was stopped by Celandine.\n\n\"Heather, dear, I must ask a favor of you as well. Amdir's would is not healing properly. I need you to seek out the herb known as Athelas or Kingsfoil, it will help his arm to mend. It can be found among the ruins in the area most likely.\"\n\nHeather examined the wound a bit more closely. She had been in the Girl Scouts up till the time she started high school. She could recognize septicemia, but the wound showed none of the red streaks associated with blood poisoning.\n\nWhich was not to say that it looked good. She remembered enough from the movie to know what could happen.\n\n\"This'll sound strange coming from me, Celandine, but Amdir requires Elvish medicine. A Nazgûl blade, I don't know what kind of time he has, but the sooner we get him to Riverdale, the better his chances.\"\n\n\"Riverdale, child? I think you mean RIVENdell, or Imladris as the fair folk call it.\"\n\nSo she liked Archie comics, sheesh, she thought. \"How far is it from here?\"\n\n\"He's in no condition to travel, Heather, but the kingsfoil may buy him some time. Please hurry!\"\n\nOf course she scooted away like a scalded cat, stopping to see Dirk who needed some wolves killed.\n\nThe ruins, as it turned out were known as Bronwe's folly, a failed attempt by an old Cardolan lord to hold back Angmar in the Second Age. Heather was ignorant of this as she made her way to the crumbling edifice. Several wolves, wary and grey, looked upon her as she approached. One caught Heather's eye. She hesitated momentarily then nocked two arrows, breathed once, and loosed. A moment later the grey wolf fell, arrows striking home in its neck and heart. Not wanting to waste anything, she took out her dagger to get the meat and hide.\n\nThe two companion wolves, feeling threatened now by this intruder bounded towards Heather. She fended one off with her dagger, fished out an arrow and jabbed it into the nose of the other. As the wolf yelped in surprise, she nocked the arrow and shot it directly into the brain of the wolf. The remaining wolf, wounded and angry, charged at his momentarily disarmed foe and leapt. Instinctively Heather dove for the deep green flowered turf, but the wolf struck a glancing blow. She withdrew her dagger as the wolf landed and turned back towards her.\n\nThe two circled. Heather withdrew an arrow from her quiver, but didn't dare try to pick up the bow. Thinking of what a fool she'd look like if the wolf picked it up and ran off with it, she moved closer to it, then kneeled slowly to retrieve it.\n\nIn a flash, she had the bow and was nocking an arrow and the wolf darted towards her. She fired an arrow just as the wolf's teeth sank into her left buttock. Both yelped, but Heather finished off her quarry with her dagger. She finished skinning the wolves, and even tasted an exploratory strip of wolf meat.\n\nAs Celandine had said, the Kingsfoil was there in profusion and she collected more than enough asëa aranion leaves for the healing draught or poultice. Since it was on the way, she decided to speak to Dirk Mudbrick first.\n\n\"Nice work Heather, though there is more to be done. The reason I'm here in the first place...guarding sheep...is that the captain had me reassigned after I told him we should listen to Jon a bit more. Since then, I've been guarding sheep - and seeing more than a few brigands making their way through the woods, I'm certain they are doing their best to get a good look at us.\"\n\nDirk regarded her thoughtfully. \"Heather, as soon as you are able, I want you to capture one of those spies, see if you can get anything out of him - and just return what you find to me.\"\n\n\"You want him alive, right?\"\n\n\"Alive if at all possible, but please don't hesitate to kill them if they threaten you.\"\n\n\"...All right, but let me see to Amdir first, please.\"\n\nAmdir was resting peacefully when Heather returned to Celandine's side. She watched, fascinated, as the hobbit mashed the leaves into a thick poultice. Heather cleaned the wound with soap and water, and Celandine coated the freshly cleaned would with the athelas poultice. Heather had to admit that the new bandages looked smart on Amdir's muscular shoulder.\n\n\"There's nothing to do now but wait,\" said Celandine. \"We'll see to getting him to the Elves after he wakes. Have you learned anything else?\"\n\n\"Just that Dirk, the watchman who tends the sheep, has seen some Blackwolds snooping about the village. He suggested that I track one down and see about loosening his tongue.\"\n\nCelandine's eyes narrowed with concern. \"Do you think that's wise? No offence of course, but your time as a hunter can be measured in mere hours.\"\n\nHeather agreed, but with Amdir incapacitated, Dirk watching the sheep, and the rest of the watch being skeptical, the burden fell on her. Excusing herself, she made her way to the wilds around Archet.\n\nShe had thought that she had seen a figure crouched in some bushes when she had been gathering the Kingsfoil. Not wanting to come up on him directly, she circled around, hoping that he might still be there. As she came back around to that position, she spotted him moving between bushes, apparently to get into a better position. She readied two arrows and approached him. As she drew closer, he just happened to turn and see her. Heather was somewhat surprised that his reaction was to whip out a dagger and hurl it at her; she avoided it easily - sailing past her by about two feet. Her two arrows pierced both his chest and belly; he screamed and collapsed, moaning painfully.\n\n\"You idiot,\" she said angrily to the wounded man as she approached him, securing her bow and drawing her dagger. \"Couldn't you tell I had the advantage?\"\n\n\"A girl?\"\n\n\"Yeah, I'm a girl who had a readied bow pointed directly at you! Put your hands out by your side, and cross your legs.\" He painfully complied moaning as he did so, and she searched him while standing on his right arm with the tip of her dagger resting pointedly on his throat. His sword was taken immediately, and a greenish vial was found in his breast pocket, along with some papers.\n\nThe man gasped and jolted, her dagger drew a trickle of blood.\n\n\"Are you...\" Heather saw the man's eyes staring at her, sightless. She sighed and closed them, and stepped away from his body, regarding the papers.\n\n\"They burned the camp to ashes to take those halflings, so we will burn down the village to take them back. The Nazgûl will have their Baggins yet, and none to soon.\n\nIt is as I hoped. We will open a fine pass through their east wall, set Archet alight and fetch the halfling amidst the turmoil. We are also to take the Dúnadan alive. He will soon fall under the Shadow of the Iron Crown.\n\nInform Calder Cob to make ready for our attack. I will arrive there soon. Then we shall have our day!\"\n\nEógan\"\n\nIf this isn't a trick, thought Heather, this is some pretty convincing evidence. Obviously codes and ciphers hadn't come into their own on this world.\n\nShe regarded the young man lying dead from her arrows. She would have been amazed if he was older than her by more than a year or two. So stupid, she thought, wondering of the fate of souls in this realm. She removed the man's coat, and covered him with it, then made her way back to Dirk.\n\nHe was thrilled to read what she found. \"Have you read this, Heather? It was just like Jonny said! Calder, in league with the Blackwolds! Jon warned us, but his father paid him no mind.\"\n\n\"I'll leave it to you to notify the Captain, if this doesn't convince him nothing will.\"\n\nHeather was more than a little surprised at how quickly Brackenbrook was convinced. He turned her away at first, but took the papers she had uncovered at her insistence. His eyes widened and he moaned as he read.\n\n\"Jon was right, Heather. I've been a fool. He'd warned me about Calder Cob, but he's always been an able and trustworthy man...and now it seems that he's been driving me towards training rather than confronting the brigands.\"\n\nBrackenbrook paced around nervously, muttering to himself. \"How much information to the brigands have, how much time to we have to prepare. I must get word to my son. But first...\" He turned to his aide. \"Please inform Cob that I wish to see him.\" Regarding Heather he said, \"You stay here, milady. I want you to see this,\" and handed her the Blackwold orders.\n\nLess than ten minutes later, Cob entered the room. \"You wanted to see me Captain?\"\n\n\"Yes I did, Calder. Has any more progress been made with the Blackwolds?\"\n\n\"We know that there has been an increase of spies and traffic in and out of the Blackwold roost.\"\n\n\"Yes, there has been. In fact,\" he indicated Heather, who smiled smarmily and waved, \"this young lady actually killed a spy down by the south pond. What was it that you found, Miss Peters?\"\n\n\"Just this.\" She handed the orders to Calder.\n\nCalder Cob read the orders and his eyes widened. Brackenbrook nodded to two of his guards who went to Cob's side.\n\n\"You're under arrest, Cob.\"\n\nCob was thunderstruck. \"Captain, you can't possibly think that...\"\n\n\"Take him away; I expect he'll hanging by his neck by the end of next week.\"\n\nCob was furious. \"You actually trust this, this girl more than one of your best soldiers?\"\n\n\"No, I trust her more than you, I'm only sorry that I hadn't listened to my son. Besides, if you're innocent, I'm sure you'll manage to convince the magistrate in Bree.\"\n\nCob was led away by the jailor Ned Pruner, cursing bitterly.\n\nBrackenbrook patted Heather on the shoulder. \"Well done, young lady. Now then, down the road that you may have seen curving north along the hillside about a league is the hunting lodge. My son is most likely there. Inform him that I have seen the truth in what he says, and that Archet will require all the assistance it can muster.\" He turned to an aide. \"Find the Ranger and bring him inside, give him whatever care he requires.\"\n\nHeather remembered the road, and she jogged along to the hunting lodge. Jon Brackenbrook was please to see her, happier still at her news.\n\n\"Now that my father has seen the truth, we need to prepare the town. We'd been expecting a move we don't know what the timetable is. Heather, if you're up to it, sneak into the Blackwold roost tonight. See if you can cause some kind of diversion - that should give us time to prepare.\"\n\nHeather was taken aback. Not twenty-four hours ago, she was trying to escape the Blackwolds, but to go back to them?\n\n\"And what if they move tonight?\"\n\n\"They may. That's why we need you to give them pause. In fact if you are successful, they may be angry enough to attack tomorrow night when we are at our most prepared.\"\n\nSo it was on that logic that Heather found herself approaching the Blackwolds roost, an ancient burned-out husk of a building, under the waxing moon.\n\nIt's almost full, she thought to herself. She had done the math earlier. If tonight was the night of September 1st, it meant that in four days, the moon would be full.\n\nShe spied a Blackwold huddled behind a bush in the darkening twilight. An arrow to the back of the neck silenced him.\n\nWhat bugged her was that she had no idea how long she'd been unconscious before she was found by Caldo. For all she knew, she had already turned eighteen.\n\nHeather preferred to avoid a frontal attack, but the back way seemed just as heavily guarded. She had, somewhat foolishly, agreed to retrieve the satchel of one of the guards outside the lodge. Ann Granger had a farm that the Blackwolds had chased her off of, but in her flight, she had left it behind, if Heather could just please find it and return it.\n\nFine, thought Heather, they want me to create a diversion...I'll divert them.\n\nTwo guards stood outside by the front gate. Heather approached from the northwest, picking off Blackwolds silently. Create a diversion, thought Heather, but try to do it in a way that reduces their numbers without the whole place freaking out. About a hundred yards from the gate, behind a good-sized birch tree, Heather assessed the situation. There were three guards, seemingly oblivious to the reduction in allies, two swordsmen and one with a bow.\n\nIt would be an uphill assault, but at least she could take one out if she was lucky, and neutralize another for a time. Staying close to the ground, she crawled to the bush nearest to the old fortress. She quietly set a bear trap, and prepared her bow for action. She released.\n\nThe bowman screamed as Heather's arrow plunged into the woman's face.\n\n\"ALARM!!!! ALLLARM!!!\" screamed both of the swordsmen, who then charged towards Heather. Heather fumbled a bit as she nocked two arrows and loosed. One arrow missed entirely, but the other struck one swordsman in the chest just as he was stepping into the trap. She secured her bow and drew the sword that she had found on the spy.\n\n\"Not used to your enemy coming up to you directly,\" snarled the remaining swordsman.\n\n\"Uh, nope!\" Heather blocked his firm stroke, but it was soon obvious that she was overpowered and inexperienced and purely on the defensive. \"Oh God, gemme outta this one!\" The Blackwold swordsman brought a vicious slash crossing down on her, but rather than attempting to parry the strike, she ducked and rolled - picking up her bow and back into a standing position. She ran...but rather than making good her escape, she ran towards the uncovered gate, nocking an arrow as she did so. Even though the alarm was sounded, the Blackwolds seemed positively lethargic - except of course for the particular Blackwold that was trying to kill her and was now charging through the gate at her.\n\nHeather fired an arrow and it caught him in the shoulder of his sword-arm. She took out her own sword and the pursuing Blackwold's own momentum plunged it deep into his belly. The sword grated on bone as Heather withdrew it. The man screamed in agony.\n\nThat scream got their attention. Heather realized that there were now at least fifty Blackwolds now extremely interested in and highly annoyed at her. She also spied a satchel on a table with old weapons and miscellaneous bric-a-brac. Heather darted towards the table, grabbed the satchel, hoping that it was the right one and turned around towards the exit.\n\nIt was a good thing that Heather had always enjoyed running. To the frustration of the Blackwolds, she disappeared into the night.\n\nExhausted from the day's exertions, she returned to the inn. She'd return the satchel to Ann tomorrow, but for now, she thought it would feel so wonderful to sink underneath those heavy covers, following a warm bath and a shave.\n\nThe innkeeper was happy to warm up the bathwater for her and secure soap. Razors were not to be had in Archet. \"I'm not sure how it works in your part of the world, young miss, but even when our men shave, it's typically on a weekly basis or for special occasions.\"\n\nHeather swallowed hard; thick black hair hadn't been limited to her head since her ninth birthday. Having a Black Irish father and Sicilian mother might be very inconvenient, her legs and armpits already felt scratchy. At least the bath proved to be warm and fresh. She checked the wounds she'd received over the day: the wound she had gotten last night seemed to be closing up nicely, and the skin was a healthy looking pink. It still stung a bit when washed. The wolf bite seemed to be just a nip, a few shallow scratches on her rump. Heather let herself sink into the deliciously warm water. By the time she got out, her hands and feet resembled raisins. She dried herself off, and slipped under the blankets, asleep before her head sank into the pillow.\n\nIt seemed like just a moment later that the sun was shining in her face again. The Blackwolds, she mused as she got dressed, must have held back, the town did appear to be standing.\n\nHeather's primary concern was Amdir's condition. Grabbing a chunk of bread, she headed over to the barracks.\n\n\"He sleeps now, but that Kingsfoil helped considerably.\" Heather wasn't so sure. Amdir seemed somewhat more pale than before. She reiterated her concern, and her suggestion to seek out the elves. \"As soon as he is ready, we should move him to Rivendell.\"\n\nCelandine agreed, but countered that Ered Luin to the west might be the safer and somewhat closer alternative. \"If we head east, we would have to cross the Lonelands and Trollshaws, that's quite dangerous territory.\" She couldn't argue with that reasoning, given her lack of geography.\n\n\"You may have to wait on that,\" said Captain Brackenbrook. \"Before he slept, he stated that it was his intention to fight in defense of Archet, and a Ranger would be a great boon. I prefer that we wait till he awakens at least.\"\n\nHeather didn't think this was necessarily the best course of action, but she thought it prudent to hold her tongue. \"If you think that is the best idea, I need to return some property to one of your guards out by the hunter's lodge.\"\n\n\"If you are heading outside the gate I need to ask yet another favor of you, Heather. We are trying to bring everybody in the area within the gates. Cal Sprigley, you may have passed by his farm yesterday, refuses to come in with his family. You have an...intelligent face, he may listen to you. If he doesn't, just see what holds him back.\"\n\nFinding the Captain's request quite reasonable; she departed for the Sprigley farm. The morning was red and somewhat cloudy. Suspecting that it would be raining before evening, she hurried south to the Sprigley's, and found the farm tucked along the valley wall. She approached the most senior farmhand and asked to see Cal Sprigley. He regarded her with a friendly but guarded expression.\n\n\"I assume you're here with a message from Thistlewool or Brackenbrook, but if you are, I assure you that it is our intention to stay. There is a more immediate problem right now.\"\n\nWhy am I not surprised, thought Heather.\n\n\"There is a rather aggressive boar we know as Old Bloodtusk...\"\n\n\"And you were in the mood for some bacon?\"\n\n\"That would be a pleasant bonus, come to think of it. How long have you been using that sword?\"\n\n\"Just since yesterday, I had to take it from a young Blackwold who thought that a swordfight against a girl with an arrow pointed at his chest was the way to go.\"\n\nCalshook his head at this, and with Heather's approval he withdrew her sword from its scabbard. \"Considering the condition of the blade, I wouldn't be surprised if he was seen as expendable. But it should be sufficient for my task. Bring home the bacon, and I will give you one of my older swords. I did a bit of smithy work when I was younger,\" he explained.\n\nBloodtusk was to be found near the Blackwold's roost, and as she got closer, a few arrows were exchanged, one of Heather's to paralyzing effect.\n\n\"NO!! I CAN'T MOVE!!! NO!! OH GOD, HELP ME PLEASE!!!\"\n\nSeeing the man lying prostrate in the mud by the lake shore shook Heather badly. That in the course of the day she had ended the lives of thirteen men and one woman was disturbing enough, but another man's life may now have been altered forever because of her.\n\n\"Stay there!\" she called to him. Old Bloodtusk had been spotted, and she quickly killed the animal with a single arrow and ran over to the sobbing Blackwold.\n\n\"Stay still...stay still,\" she ordered. Her arrow had probably pierced his stomach and the steel tip jutted out of his back right next to his spine. \"In case you aren't aware, you are now my prisoner,\" she said wryly. \"I'm gonna take you over to the hunter's lodge. She examined the wound. He was probably dead anyway, she thought. \"Are you in pain?\"\n\n\"My stomach!\"\n\nYes, most likely dead. \"That's good, that means there's a good chance that the paralysis is temporary. But for now we're going for a swim. I can't support you, but the water can.\" She took a vial of the Athelas and poured it down his throat. \"That should keep you stable. What's your name, hon?\"\n\n\"W-william.\"\n\nThey began to swim, with Heather supporting William's head as they swam the long path to the Hunting lodge. They spoke little to preserve their strength, and after two hours they were being assisted by Ann Granger and a dwarven hunter named Atli.\n\n\"He's...a Blackwold prisoner, but he's injured...can't walk,\" gasped Heather. \"But I think that's just temporary if you can save his life...stomach wound.\" The hunters shook their heads grimly.\n\n\"Will, if you can give these guys some information that would help, now is the time to give it,\" she whispered furiously.\n\nIt was relayed by William that the Blackwolds intended to attack under a clear moonlit night. \"But I'm just a striker, they may change it.\" If they had, it wasn't clear on that night, for the afternoon and evening were stormy and Heather found herself stuck in the lodge. September the third was similar, rain and wind all day and all night.\n\nOn the fourth, Heather got up feeling sticky and unwashed. Jon greeted her with the sober announcement that William had died over the night. He squeezed her arm gently.\n\n\"You did well to look after him, Heather, his information has probably saved lives, and he died doing the right thing. We will see that he is buried with full honors.\"\n\nIt was still raining as she left the lodge, but Heather didn't care. The cold water was the closest thing she'd had since her bath two days ago. She walked around to the Sprigley's.\n\n\"Oh so you do want your sword? Of course we found the remains of Old Bloodtusk. Quite a bit of weather we've been having, eh?\" He handed her a sword. \"This...should fit a young lady your size quite well.\"\n\nShe took the weapon. She had assumed, shortly after her arrival, that the swords would weigh about ten, maybe twenty, pounds, and would be unwieldy for someone of her diminutive stature, but three or four pounds was the norm. Cal Sprigley's sword was well-balanced, beautiful and expertly honed.\n\n\"I don't suppose I can convince you to come back to the town with me, could I?\"\n\n\"Not on your life, little one, but we do appreciate your concern. Though if there is a raid, we'll be ready for them.\"\n\nHeather took the long way back to the hunting lodge, honing her skill with the sword and bow on the way. Jon had assured her that there was good coin to be made with the pelts and meat, so she made sure not to waste anything. She was thinking, as she approached the hunting lodge with darkness falling, that she really should learn how to tan the hides she acquired, when she suddenly sensed that something was amiss...and caught the acrid odor of smoke on her nose. She darted into the lodge.\n\nSomething was amiss. \"Heather, go talk to Jon now,\" ordered one of the hunters.\n\n\"Heather, glad you're here,\" said Brackenbrook curtly. \"It's happening now, they are moving against Archet.\"\n\n\"How are...\"\n\n\"Quiet, we are going to counterattack through the east gate. I hope you aren't afraid of spiders, 'cause that route is packed with them. The Blackwolds have launched a delayed two-pronged attack; the first was a suicide attack to fire the town. The main force is through the front gate, but if they can breach the East gate and link their forces, my father won't be able to hold them. The bulk of our archers will hold off the secondary force, but I need you to remove the Blackwold guards along the way so we can do the linking up.\"\n\nJon took her by the arm, pointing up the hill. \"They left that upper pass unguarded. Take that route, wide around the lake so you aren't seen, and you'll have the high ground against the guards. GO!\"\n\nHeather went. She had taken the low route earlier to kill some spiders at Atli's behest, and it seemed that the Blackwolds were having more problems with them. She fired arrows as she came up towards the top of the berm, and three Blackwolds fell. Smoke was getting thicker and she noted the horrid red glow over the town.\n\nDespite herself, she chuckled on hearing the screams of Blackwolds fighting off the spiders. Sure, just let the venom do the fighting for me, she thought, but a few arrows ensured that there would be no recovery. Ignoring the spiders herself, she made her way to the interior east gate of Archet.\n\nShe arrived just in time to see Calder Cob thrust his sword deep into the belly of jailor Ned Pruner.\n\n\"All right boys,\" shouted Cob. \"Poor Ned is done for!!\" He rounded on Heather. \"Time to get my vengeance on you, wench!!\"\n\nIt must be because I'm only four foot ten and ninety pounds, she thought, but can't they realize that the arrows don't care who is pulling the bowstring? Calder Cob must have obtained some armor somehow, because the arrow hitting his chest didn't penetrate significantly, but the arrow to his sword arm certainly did.\n\n\"Good thing, I fight left-handed, eh, Heather?\"\n\nOh snap.\n\n\"Screw it, I'm better with the bow,\" she muttered to herself as she jabbed the arrow towards his face, bloodying his cheek. He thrust with his sword and Heather jumped, evading it while nocking the arrow, and releasing it into his left knee.\"\n\n\"AUUUUGHHHHHH!!!\"\n\n\"Bet that hurt, didn't it?\" She took her own sword and slashed at Cob viciously. Her blade struck home across his throat cutting down to the back of Cob's neck, he choked and was gone before hitting the ground.\n\nNed Pruner was on the ground, moaning. \"Amdir, Heather, go to Amdir, he's close by...save the hobbits.\"\n\nShe ran through the gate as soon as Ned's wife opened it. Two Blackwolds charged at her, but were quickly neutralized, she ran to Amdir's side. He stood upon seeing her, clutching his left shoulder.\n\n\"Heather, you've proven to be a boon companion these past days. We must save the hobbits from Eógan. Draw some water from that well to extinguish the flames, and we will fight him together.\"\n\nShe did as she was told, sweating furiously in the fierce heat.\n\n\"Come now.\"\n\nShe thought she heard Jon Brackenbrook scream in anguish as they ran into the town square. Indeed, she saw the figure of Captain Brackenbrook keel over. Amdir withdrew his sword.\n\n\"You shall pay for your crimes, villain!\"\n\n\"Then,\" said Eógan, \"come Dúnadan, end this.\"\n\nAmdir approached Eógan, and then, to Heather's horror, fell to his knees, screaming.\n\n\"AMDIR!!\"\n\n\"The Nazgûl's blade has sapped your will, Dúnadan. Otto, take our friend away.\" \"You,\" he said to Amdir, \"deal with the whelps,\" pointing to the Archet villagers fighting.\n\n\"Yes...\" said Amdir dully.\n\n\"Amdir, no!!\" It was Celandine screaming.\n\nHeather fired at Otto, and pierced the back of his skull, he fell in a heap. She dodged an arrow fired at her from the burning hulk of the Badger Inn, and returned fire, piercing the woman in the stomach.\n\n\"Enough,\" muttered Eógan. \"I shall deal with you myself!\" He'd drawn a vicious-looking blade. Eógan had led the attack, but it was soon apparent that Heather's swordsmanship had grown superior in the short time that she was there. She parried a downward slash, forcing Eógan's sword to the ground, and thrust her own sword into his side.\n\nEógan collapsed with a groan, and Heather rushed to the side of the Hobbits.\n\n\"Are you two all right?\"\n\n\"Oh thank goodness, Heather,\" said Mungo. That...that Eógan fellow, he kept asking me questions, as if I knew about some great treasure or something. I kept on telling him I knew nothing, but he didn't believe me! He said that I was the halfling who had gone off with the dwarves, but those are Mad Baggins' tales. I didn't have anything to do with those stories!\"\n\n\"'Mad Baggins,' you mean Bilbo?\"\n\n\"Eógan moves!\"\n\nHeather whipped around to see Eógan staggering up. Forgetting her bow, anger surged through her.\n\n\"So this Baggins...was telling the truth. He is...useless...to us.\" Eógan gasped in pain. \"It is no matter, we have the Dúnadan...\" With that declaration, Eógan staggered through the flames to join the retreating Blackwolds.\n\nHeather started after him, but was held back by Celandine's surprisingly strong hand.\n\n\"Pay him no mind, Heather. His time will come soon enough. But you have saved our lives; we are both deeply indebted to you. Mundo and I shall be returning to the Shire, you should probably see to Amdir...I fear what will become of him. When this is over, please visit us in the Shire.\"\n\nHeather shook Mundo's hand and hugged Celandine. Then, as she joined Jon Brackenbrook to extinguish the flames burning the village, she noticed the full moon shining high and harmlessly above her.\n\nShe smiled." } ]

The only ones who were there were Raon, Jarek and Inoa, who at the time seemed to be busy blaming the two of them for something. The lynx did not look capable of paying the slightest attention to her words, and from the large coppery wolf's look of boredom, he supposed that Jarek wasn't either.\n\nHe stood a few yards behind them looking on with interest, knowing that if he approached any closer to Inoa she would drag him into the discussion. But, rather, she only noticed Raon and Jarek, who remained together enduring the relentless barrage of arguments and reasons that the black hare gave them to fulfill the mission that was expected of them. At that time, he was even able to imagine the invisible bond that existed between them two, a connection that Mother Kara had planned years ago. But the Human looked weary and Loki knew that even at the risk of receiving Inoa's fury, he should not be a spectator and had to get them out of there at any cost.\n\nHe did not have the opportunity to do so, however, before Inoa turned to him with an accusing look.\n\n\\-You! -she exclaimed, with some disdain that, basically, the lynx knew he didn't feel -. How did you dare to give these two a choice?\n\nRaon and Jarek, sensing Loki's presence, sent him a pleading look, looking for any kind of help. The lynx smiled gently and shrugged, as he approached the group slowly.\n\n\\-But how can you take it so calmly? -the hare rebuked him, dumbfounded -. We are talking about the future of the two races! Everything we have been fighting for all this time! The last wish of Mother Kara! And your only response when these... these... inept ones say they do not want to do it, is to shrug your shoulders?\n\n\\-I've said it before and I'll say it again, Inoa -Loki replied, quietly -. It must be their choice if they finally accept the mission.\n\n\\-And the fate of the world is subject to their will? -Inoa asked, shaking her head in disbelief, what made his ears to sway slightly -. I hate to tell you this Loki, but I think that things are already bad enough and while it may please you to let them choose, we don't have the option to let this opportunity pass.\n\nLoki gave her a long look. Then he noticed that Jarek and Raon were still there, watching the discussion with interest, and sighed.\n\n\\-I think we need to talk about this alone -he ventured to say, even knowing that it was not the complete truth -. You two can go on to the feast, if you want.\n\nJarek's face lit up and Raon smiled as well, understanding what the young lynx desired. However, Inoa did not seem to be satisfied.\n\n\\-Oh, no. No, no, no! You will not let them go like that. These two young people have to learn...!\n\n\\-These two boys are just that: young -Loki interrupted her with patience, while making a gesture with a concealed paw towards the camp, that only Jarek and Raon could see -. If you are going to start forcing them to accept their fate so eagerly, they will be frightened and will not want to face it. Don't you understand?\n\n\\-No, I do not understand -Inoa replied, while directing a glance at the two links, on their way to camp without missing a beat. Then again she turned her gaze to Loki, with a flash of curiosity -. When I was told you were chosen to carry out the mission, I thought you were the right one, Loki. But now... watching this... I do not know what to think. I would say that they chose someone too soft.\n\nLoki frowned, somewhat annoyed.\n\n\\-Look, Inoa, it's so easy -he tried to explain, and knew that this would be the last time he would -. If you do not give them time to digest the situation, they will refuse and flatly deny that they are the links. They are young, and they're tired of running away and want a break. Let them at least enjoy this night.\n\nIn silence, he could not avoid thinking that, well, now that he knew of Raon's feelings toward the wolf, he wanted to give him some chance to communicate them... or, at least, to have some fun with him, knowing that the journey that was awaiting them was too dangerous and hard to afford it. But not telling her all the reasons why he wanted to give the Human and the wolf that little respite was not lying. He was just hiding part of the truth.\n\n\\-We are also young, and we know our responsibilities -Inoa reminded him, wryly -. You're not much older than them.\n\n\\-Five years and, if I'm here, it is because I have chosen it -Loki answered, gently -. There is no comparison. And... I do not want to talk about it anymore, truthfully -he paused -. Do you happen to know... where Rukj is?\n\n\\-He was in the camp, helping prepare the fires -said the hare, a little surprised by the question -. Why...?\n\n\\-There's something I need to talk to him about -Loki said quickly.\n\n\\-About the Human and his mission?\n\n\\-No.\n\nHe refused to give any more details, so deliberately ignored the confused look the black hare gave him, practically pretending she did not exist. She seemed to get the message across, because after a few seconds in which she was trying to figure out what were the intentions of the lynx, she frowned and her face grew upset and indignant.\n\n\\-I don't know what you're up to, Loki -the hare warned at last, as she backed a step -. But to allow them so much freedom... Anyway. I hope you know what you are doing.\n\nLoki nodded in silence.\n\nInoa gave him one last look as she tried to analyze him, before turning around and heading with a proud step towards the camp, not far from there. Loki was left alone again, while inwardly trying to apologize to Inoa.\n\nHe had known her for several years, actually, and understood her concerns. In fact, when both were part of the Order and they had been instructed by their masters, it might have been said that they had got on... well. Actually, Loki could never have been able to speak with such certainty to someone he had not known for quite some time, for the simple fact that his shyness would have prevented it. Sometimes he wished simply that he could more easily allow himself to trust someone.\n\nBetter that than to feel a prisoner of his own shame.\n\nBut that night he was willing to do anything to escape from his shyness and whatever it took, he would not allow it to keep him quiet any longer.\n\nNo. That night he would be himself for once and he would risk saying what he really felt.\n\nEven if he had to bury his shame to do it.\n\nHe had to repeat those words more than once when he had launched his plan and informed Rukj that he had something important to talk about with him.\n\nAlthough he tried to reassure himself countless times and having taking several deep breaths to try to calm the wild beating of his heart, the palms of his paws were sweating and he was unable to keep from trembling slightly. As he walked into the outskirts of the camp, followed closely by Rukj, he was slowly picking the words to say, what phrase to start with for that uncomfortable conversation... but, for some reason, a fog seemed to have possessed his mind and was confusing everything he was thinking about.\n\nIt was frustrating; his thoughts were so confused and chaotic, before he was even able to sort them out they escaped through his fingers and disappeared. All the security that had been accumulated during the conversation with Raon had vanished as if it had never existed, and now... Now he did not know exactly what to do, or say. Moreover, knowing that he had already told Rukj he had something important to talk to him about and that, like it or not, wolf's amber eyes were now fixed on his neck, just did not help him to stay calm . There was no turning back now.\n\nHe could only go forward, like it or not.\n\nAfter a few minutes walking, they both finally reached the lake in which Loki had previously held such an intimate conversation with Raon. If the lynx was doing what he proposed, that would be the second intimate conversation the waters of that lake would witness tonight.\n\n\\-What happens now, Loki? -asked the black wolf, without wasting any more time than necessary -. Is there anything about the Chain that you have not told me?\n\nLoki blinked a few times, surprised by the question, but finally shook his head slowly and let out a long sigh, trying to calm down. He was able to perceive the question in the brightness of Rukj's eyes and, for some reason, that did nothing but make him more nervous. For a few seconds he would have liked to be more direct like the wolf, and not have so much difficulty speaking.\n\n\\-No ... -he replied. His voice trembled and he had to clear his throat -. It's not that... I...\n\nRukj moved a little closer, somewhat worried about the doubts that appeared in the lynx's voice, who, because of this, could not help but get even more nervous and turn his back, lowering his gaze to the ground.\n\n\\-I have something to tell you, Rukj -Loki said quietly, as he gathered his paws and tried to calm down.\n\nFor some reason, he could not stop shaking and was able to feel every beat of his heart in his head, while a cold sweat had already soaked his forehead, dampening his fur. Why... why the hell was he not able to relax a little, for a change?\n\n\\-Is there a problem? -the wolf asked, from behind him.\n\n\\-No -the lynx answered quickly, looking away toward the lake -. It's that... I... -the sentence died on his lips, while searching for the words to continue with -... I should have told you this long ago.\n\n\\-What do you mean? -Rukj asked, approaching a few steps -. Loki, are you okay?\n\nAt that time, the black wolf set one of his huge paws on the lynx's shoulder, who let out a gasp as he turned his head toward him, increasingly nervous. Trying to contain his excitement and to stop from making a fool of himself, Loki turned to him slowly, wringing his paws still not knowing exactly what to do with them or where to hide. The wolf's eyes glowed with a deep curiosity and, above all, with a growing concern.\n\n\\<\\<It's easy\\>\\> said one part of his mind, trying to soothe him. \\<\\<Just tell him. Once you do, everything will be easier\\>\\>. \\<\\< ...But what if he gets scared? \\>\\> desperately asked the other half of his conscience, still trembling with terror at that possibility \\<\\< ... What if he does not feel the same, does not like that I feel so... and it drives him away from me forever? \\>\\> That possibility made his heart shrink.\n\nIt was a difficult war.\n\nThe rewards were high, but the price to pay if it failed was not far behind. Should he take a risk and jump into the battle without a second thought... or else would it be better to stay safely hidden behind a facade made of lies?\n\n\\-What has happened is that... -he began, trying to follow the directions of the first half of his mind, one that still had hope -. From the first day I met you... well... you've been someone very important to me -those words sent a shiver running down his spine -. I'll always be grateful to you for helping me in Frostmoon, when I was lost and no one to turn to. Even when you faced the Guard when they wanted to accuse me of being your accomplice -helplessly, he blushed slightly under his fur having remembering all those moments -. And, if not for you, I'd still be prostrate at Ronod's feet, in that dungeon, languishing from the cold... or probably dead.\n\nRukj cocked his head.\n\n\\-I could not have left you there. If I helped you was because it was right -said the wolf, not knowing exactly where the young lynx was going.\n\n\\-Yes -Loki sighed, looking up and fixing it in the eyes of the wolf -. But that's not all... I... -he bit his lower lip, until he finally knew it was time to jump into the battlefield -. I like you, Rukj. I really like you.\n\nThe last word that escaped his lips was barely a whisper, but still the message was perfectly audible. The lynx looked down, completely embarrassed, feeling like the blush was returning again. \\<\\<Idiot\\>\\> he told himself, cursing his own shyness. \\<\\<Idiot, idiot, idiot\\>\\>.\n\nBut, on the other hand... he had done it. He had told him and the hardest part was over. Although, at that time, he would have preferred that the earth would swallow him, he could not help thinking that, after all this time carrying it in silence, taking that load off had been a relief.\n\n\\-What do you mean... you like me? -Rukj repeated, as if to make sure he had heard right, as he gently removed his paw from the lynx's shoulder.\n\n\\-Yes -said Loki, with a faint voice -. From the first day we met I've been watching you and... well... I could not go on any longer without telling you.\n\nAfter saying those words he felt even more embarrassed and completely unable to raise his head, a prisoner of his own shyness. However, he was able to notice that Rukj was still looking at his neck, while his own gaze was lost on the floor between his feet. Loki could almost imagine his eyes, still full of curiosity; he watched in absolute silence over the lynx who had confessed his feelings... or, perhaps, he was managing contain some of the tenderness in his look which the young lynx had ever dreamed of. In the worst case, Rukj was watching in disbelief and even some pained expression... but, actually, and in spite of the fact that he would have liked to known more of what the wolf was thinking at that moment, Loki knew he would never be able to look up to find out the truth.\n\nA few tense seconds ensued, wrapped in an almost respectful silence. Loki, paws pressing hard against his stomach and his head down, waiting for the Rukj's verdict like someone expecting the blow of a guillotine... At that time the only thing that could be heard apart from the tense silence was breathing of the lynx and not far away, the faint sounds of the feast that was being celebrated in the camp.\n\nUntil, finally, the silence came to an end, and without knowing why, Loki flinched as if he feared it would hurt him.\n\n\\-Loki -Rukj began, with a hint of insecurity in his voice -. I... I am very sorry. I'm afraid that I do not feel the same.\n\nIt was as if, for a few seconds, the world had been frozen.\n\nJarek stretched his legs, while sitting on the floor, and his eyes quickly analyzed all those who were around the campfire, laughing, shouting and dancing as if that was the happiest day of their lives. Somewhat nervous, he suppressed a shudder when he saw that one of the lynxes that traveled in caravan performed a dangerous stunt too close to the fire, it could have ended with him in the middle of the burning flames. He looked away towards the ground, uncomfortable, and tried to think clearly while his ears still echoed with, sound and rhythm like the beating of his heart, the sound of happiness from all that people.\n\nWhat were they actually celebrating? That the Human had come to the caravan? Or simply to have someone new traveling with them again, no matter who it was? \\<\\<Perhaps\\>\\> thought the wolf in silence, as he raised his eyes again and let them rest on fire, not without some nervousness \\<\\<, not even they know what is being celebrated. Perhaps the only important thing is the celebration itself. \\>\\>\n\nIn silence, he tried to go over the words he had heard inside the tent, the legend that Loki had spoken about, the mission that he and Raon had to fulfill. His first reaction upon hearing those words had been similar to that of young Human, for a moment, he had not believed his ears and had seriously doubted that he and Raon would be able to perform such a feat. Ending the War that had for so long ravaged the world? Erase in a single stroke all of the hatred that exists between Humans and Beasts? Get that they reconciled as old friends that, at some point, had started with a stupid unjustified dispute? None of that seemed remotely possible for a young wolf just fifteen and a Human who must also be around the same age. Much less, knowing that, at the time, they were little more than public enemies and any of their movements had to be performed with the greatest of stealth if they were to avoid being quietly dismembered or worse in a city square.\n\nBut even so, Jarek was hoping he could do something. He had spent too much time suffering because of war, because of the hatred between races, and could not help but wish, from the bottom of his heart, that it was already all over. He had known since the day he was born, that it was impossible for anyone else to be able to understand someone like he understood it, but he still had a dream that one day it would all be over and he could again walk the streets of Frostmoon without fearing that someone would point a finger and shout his name as the traitor who had allowed a Human to stay in his home. Nothing would have made him happier than to see the world united again: Humans and Beasts finally able to live together in harmony without cruelly killing each other.\n\nThat was the basis of his desire to fight, to try to change things for the better. The other reason he was willing to take the risk had a name, and at that time, was just a few inches from him.\n\nSilently, he turned his head and watched Raon for a while and could not help but smile slightly as he found the Human's eyes closed and head resting against his shoulder, about to fall asleep completely. Taking care not to startle him, Jarek reached out with a paw to gently shake him and wake him up.\n\nRaon quickly opened his eyes and let out a soft snort of surprise, which caused the wolf's smile to grow wider.\n\n\\-What? -he asked the Human, still with his paw on his shoulder -. You could not take any more, huh?\n\nRaon took a few seconds to understand the words and still half awake, put his hand to his head, trying to stretch a bit.\n\n\\-No ... -he finally said quietly, -. Sorry, I know I said I would be at the feast with you, but I was very sleepy...\n\nJarek cocked his head and continued watching, fascinated, as the Human rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. He could not help thinking that, at that time, the appearance of the young Human was touching.\n\n\\-Shall we go to the tent now? -he offered, letting out a soft laugh -. Otherwise, I'll just watch you fall asleep here.\n\n\\-Yes, please -said Raon, giving him a look of deep gratitude.\n\nThe wolf nodded and both rose to head back, after a few seconds, towards the canvas tent that Rukj had helped them assemble that same night. The passage of the Human was at first slow and a little unsure, but became stronger and faster when the cool night breeze woke him up a bit.\n\n\\-Perhaps I should have invited you to a dance so you would not have been so bored -Jarek said, as they walked -. You would have kept awake.\n\n\\-A dance? Really? -Raon asked, with a tone that was sarcasm cut through his sleep -. Next to the fire?\n\n\\-Hmm... no, you're right, it may not have been such a good idea -Jarek admitted, unable to avoid smiling, despite himself. When had Raon started to be able to make him laugh? -. It would have been worth it just to see if you could dance.\n\n\\-It cannot be much more difficult than hunting... -Raon replied, but did not seem very confident. A gust of wind lifted his hair from his face and made him shiver.\n\n\\-Are you cold? -Jarek asked quickly, somewhat concerned.\n\nRaon opened his mouth to answer, but before saying anything, he remained thoughtful and paused with a long look, as if trying to analyze the words that had just come out of the mouth of the wolf, trying to find some hidden meaning. For a few seconds, Jarek felt a little uncomfortable with the situation, and even regretting having said those words.\n\nMaybe... maybe it sounded a little forced...\n\n\\-The truth is that I am -Raon replied finally, while he wrapped up a little more with his fur coat -. I would like... I would like, if you see that I am cold tonight... anyway... -he struggled to find the words -... please, keep me warm.\n\n\\-Of course -said the wolf, pushing him gently by the arm, which made the Human let out a soft laugh -. I could not leave you to freeze to death. Let alone, without having seen you dance yet.\n\n\\-I don't think you will... -Raon murmured, softly, as the two finally reached their destination and stopped at the entrance of the tent.\n\nJarek struggled for a few seconds with the straps that held the entrance closed, unable to undo the knots, and Raon had to move closer to help a little. After a few minutes in which both remained unusually silent, the Human managed to open the door all the way and they entered the canvas tent, being careful not to touch anything that could blow away the work Rukj had done.\n\nWithout wasting a single second and led by fatigue, Raon dropped onto the pallet installed inside the tent and was covered with a blanket that, much to his chagrin, was not thick enough to protect someone from the cold that had no fur. He sighed in dismay, while resigned to accept that, after all, the tent was not intended for sheltering Human members.\n\nHe had no time to think twice before something warm laid down against him and passed an arm around his waist, bringing additional warmth. At that time, Raon was thankful he had his back to Jarek, because otherwise, the wolf would have noticed the blush that had flooded his cheeks as his felt the comforting presence of the lupine body against his back.\n\n\\-Just in case -the wolf said, quietly.\n\nHis breath tickled his ear and, unavoidably, Raon could not help feeling a little nervous. At the end of the day, not even he knew exactly where did begin and end the barriers that marked what he felt towards Jarek and, although he had not worried before, now he was afraid to do anything that might scare his friend.\n\n\\-Goodnight -whispered the wolf, to no response.\n\n\\-Night -replied Raon, still thoughtful, while biting his lower lip.\n\nHe would have to tell him someday, at least, if he did not intend to blush every night the wolf offered to sleep against him to share his body heat, or didn't remain mute every time they exchanged a miserable look. Jarek had the right to know and, moreover, there was always the possibility that what Raon felt was something they shared...\n\n\\<\\<Tomorrow. \\>\\> he told himself, trying to instill confidence \\<\\<I'll tell him tomorrow\\>\\>.\n\nLoki put a hand to his chest, trying to hold back the sobs and swallowing his tears while, along the shore of the lake, he attempted to stop crying without success. How could he have dared to do something like that...? How could he have been so ridiculous, to be humiliated before Rukj, to throw away the little respect the wolf might have had for him? Loki had been able to sense the fear in the words of the wolf, when he had replied that he did not feel the same, it was not a fear that Rukj would want to reveal, but the lynx felt as if it was a straight punch to his face. How... how had he dared... to open up to him like that?\n\nHe never should have gathered the courage to say it.\n\nIn silence, the lynx looked up and stared at the image that was reflected back from the lake: something resembling a tangle of fur, wrapped on itself like a ball, knees directly attached to his muzzle and arms closed tightly around him, shaking nonstop while trying to calm down. His two blue eyes sparkled amid the darkness, illuminated by the reflection of the moonlight on the water, and seemed to be damp and even a little swollen after all the tears.\n\nHe felt sorry for himself and for the first time since he had begun to cry, he was ashamed to be the cause of that image. Luckily for him, Rukj had been gone for a while now and was no longer there to witness it, but... was he not already ridiculous enough? \\<\\<He does not love you, Loki\\>\\> he thought to himself again, while containing a moan \\<\\<You told him how you feel about him for nothing... and now... now he will never be able to look at you the same way again\\>\\>.\n\nSilently he pressed against his legs a little tighter to give him some warmth, while he was remembering the exact moment the black wolf had uttered the words that had sealed his fate. He knew they had not been the last thing he had said.\n\nCould it be that Rukj, after having accidentally shattered his heart without knowing it, had tried to encourage him? Perhaps he would have given him a pat on the back, trying to make him feel better, or maybe the wolf was worried and had asked if he was okay. Maybe Loki had responded laughing, hiding the bitterness that was poisoning him inside, or perhaps he might have remained silent, staring, still as a statue, unable to accept that he was such absolute failure.\n\nHe had said it for nothing.\n\nLoki had never imagined it hurt so much not to be corresponded: although he knew that Rukj did not resent him for what he had said, and the fact that now he knew the lynx was attracted to him likely did not change anything, it was hard to know he was the only one who felt that way. He had been dreaming for so long with the possibility of embracing the arms of the black wolf, to share with him their most intimate moments, to open all his doors to him...\n\n...but it wasn't more than that.\n\nA dream. A stupid, painful and cruel dream.\n\nAnd it was reality what dictated the rules of the world Loki lived in, so, even if he wanted to, he could never change what Rukj felt, or rather, what he did not.\n\n\\<\\<He is not to blame\\>\\> he repeated for the umpteenth time. \\<\\<He could not lie... If he felt nothing he could never have said yes... \\>\\>\n\nThis thought led him back to let out a sob of anguish, and new tears came to his eyes as if his body needed urgently pour them out. With a broken heart full of grief and shame, Loki buried his head between his legs and closed his eyes, trying to forget everything, trying to stop suffering, trying to stop feeling, so that everything would be infinitely easier...\n\nIt was hard to tell how long he was so completely lost from reality, with tears still making matted grooves along the fur of his face. It was as if, for an indefinite time, darkness had enveloped him in a frigid and empty hug that brought icy chills, but that also was slightly comforting. It was so sad to know that nothing but the darkness could embrace him, but at that moment, when his thoughts wandered adrift and his soul hardly worried about recalling them... he did not care. He drifted from back and forth, like a puppet, and for a few seconds almost had the pleasant certainty that his heart had stopped beating, that the earth would swallow him up and that he would never again draw a breath...\n\n\\-You should not be here, missing out on the feast, especially considering it is in your honor.\n\nThose words, from someone behind him, jarred him back to reality.\n\nConfused, the lynx raised his head and turned towards the voice that had spoken from behind him, blinking a few times for his eyes to adjust again to the light. Illuminated by the distant glow of the campfire and the splendor of the moon and the stars, Loki recognized the imposing silhouette of Ailec, who watched him with a hesitant and worried expression. The son of the caravan leader carried a bundle of wood on his shoulder and discovered the unmistakable traces of tears on the lynx's face, cocked his head curiously.\n\n\\-I ... -Loki said quietly, his voice hoarse.\n\n\\-What is it? -asked the bull, dropping the wood to the ground and going a few steps -. Hey. Hey, hey! -he exclaimed, seeing the tears running from Loki's eyes -. What happened? Has someone done anything to you?\n\n\\-No... -Loki replied, with an effort, as he turned his head away to the lake to hide his tears from the eyes of the bull.\n\nThis time he did not know why he was crying.\n\nPerhaps it was simply from the shame that someone would feel if seen in that state, or perhaps that the words of the bull made him recall what had happened earlier... Regardless of the reason, he could not stop crying, and felt more and more miserable for every tear that fell...\n\n\\-What is wrong? -asked the bull, while he sat cross-legged beside him and ran an inquisitive look, still worried. -. What happened to you?\n\nLoki didn't feel like answering.\n\nIn any case, what would he have been able to do? To tell the bull that he had declared his love to Rukj on the same night and that as the wolf had not reciprocated his feelings he had started crying like a stupid pup? It was enough that he had already been humiliated... Loki did not want to go through the same thing again just to overcome his shyness only to later be hurt by not receiving anything in return.\n\nIt would have been too painful.\n\n\\-Very well, if you don't want me tell... -continued Ailec, not looking away from him while putting one of his hooves on the shoulder of the lynx to try to comfort him -... I guess, I can at least try to make you feel better. Would you come with me to the feast? It wouldn't harm me to have some company.\n\nLoki was tempted to laugh at such an absurd proposition.\n\n\\-With this face? -he asked, while he passed a paw over his face to clean away the tears. - Everyone will stare at me...\n\n\\-Oh, don't worry - the bull tried to reassure him, still trying to infuse him with some confidence with the hoof on his shoulder. - Look... when I feel like crying I always drink something. You know, something strong. Maybe that will not work for you, but we could try. What do you think? I promise to be at your side the whole time, until you are feeling better.\n\nLoki's raised his gaze and looked into Ailec's eyes, who watched him with anticipation.\n\nThere was something about the eyes of the bull that made him feel better, something that made him recover some confidence in himself again... He would not have known how to say what it was or why he felt this way, but the truth was that it made him feel warm again inside, as if someone was worried about him again and lit a flame which, so far, had remained quenched in the depths of his consciousness.\n\nFor a few seconds, he was tempted to accept the invitation and try to forget everything so he might try to enjoy a bit of the night. He had already cried enough and, on the other hand, he had to admit that Ailec's company was welcome and would help him try to forget the pain another had left when he went away...\n\nAfter all... what was the use of continuing to cry and wallowing in his self-pity, when couldn't find any way to get out of it?\n\nFinally, he decided.\n\n\\-Okay... I'll go -he whispered, clearing his voice and trying to sound a little clearer. - Thank you -he added, heartfelt, while he turned with a look of thanks to the son of the caravan leader.\n\nHe smiled and squatted down next to the lynx.\n\n\\-You don't have to thank me, cub.\n\nLoki trembled, not so much from the tender treatment that the bull seemed to have suddenly adopted toward him, but from the last word he had said and the feelings aroused in him.\n\n\\-Please, no... don't call me cub -he asked, his eyes falling to stare at the ground.\n\n\\-Oh, alright -Ailec responded, somewhat surprised -. Well, then you don't have to thank me... kitten -he repeated, winking an eye." } ]

So, if you're under 18, don't read this story, it might warp your precious little brains and I don't want your parents emailing me to complain cuz I don't have that much money for paying off angry parents. Finally, Friday had arrived. Duffin was so glad to finally be off for the weekend and almost cheered. Tonight was the night of the big date. He'd been planning it for weeks. The guy was absolutely perfect. It also helped that he happened to be a wolf, Duff's favorite. He began his car, which sputtered to lie after a few turns of the key. That car is going to be the death of me one of these days...\\_The fox thought as he drove home. It only took about fifteen minutes to make it home in the traffic. Granted, he only lived about five miles from home, so in retrospect, that commute sucked. The fox pulled into the parking garage of his apartment building and made his way up to his apartment. He flopped onto his couch and tugged off his shirt. He had a few hours before he really needed to get ready, so he decided to get a quick shower. Duffin walked into the small bathroom. It really only had a toilet, sink, stand-in shower, and about three square feet of open floor. It was small. Nevertheless, he undid his pants and pushes them down, leaving him quite naked as he turned on the water and waited for it to warm up. He gazed over himself in the mirror, looking for any spots that required particular attention. He examined in his blue fur and along his tail before going into the shower. He groaned as the hot water splashed onto his body and soaked into his fur, \"Oh yeah...that's the stuff...\" he said softly, loving showers. The fox began to wash himself as well as he could in the tiny shower and cleaned his muzzle with his body wash. After a bit of cleaning, he simply stood under the shower, reveling in the wonderful water, just wishing that he could stay in the water forever. He knew that he had to get ready or his date, though. He got out of the car and grumbled at the cold air before wrapping a large beach towel around his body, rubbing himself down to dry his fur. After his normal grooming routine, he went out to grab some clothing. Now, at work, Duffin looked like a regular Joe. Sure, people still assumed he was a slut because he was a fox, but they assumed that he was slutty with females. Out of work, if you had to describe him in one word, that word would be \"Fag!\" When he dresses up, there is no doubt in anyone's mind what team he bats for. And that would be the team with the bats. He particularly liked being on a team that has exceptionally large bats. Anyway, he got dressed, wearing his tightest pair of low-rise jeans and a fairly tight white wife-beater. Hmming softly, the fox searched in his closet until he found what he was looking for. It was a button-up short sleeve blue shirt. But, it is probably the gayest shirt that anyone will ever see. It almost looked like it was made out of velvet. He admired himself in the mirror for a moment and smiled softly. He looked to the clock and realized that it was about time to go. He grabbed his cell phone and keys and headed for the door. One of his neighbors, an attractive bunny, was just getting home and Duffin noticed him giving him the once over. The fox decided he'd have to ask his lupine neighbor for a cup of sugar sometime soon. But, for now, he was off! Making his way into the garage, he goes into his car, inserted his key and turned it. Nothing. He tried again. Again nothing. \"Oh fuck!\" He exclaimed as he smacked his steering wheel, \"Stupid fucking car!\" He jabbed the key back into the keyhole and hear the tell-tale sputtering before the engine suddenly caught and started. He sighed softly and pulled the car into reverse and backed out of the garage. \\_Whew, close one...I really need to get this car in for a tune-up. He thought as he began his journey to his date's house. He reached over and put on some music. The second he touched the power button, the engine in the car cut off. He gasped and, being on the highway, panicked as he tried to make his way over to the shoulder in the moderate traffic. He did make it after a few tense moments and rested for a second. \"Well, fuck you too, car! God damn it!\" He grumbled. He tried the engine a couple times, but knew it was hopeless. He was going to need to call a mechanic. But, first, he knew he wouldn't be able to make his date and called him up, profusely apologizing. The wolf seemed to understand and said they could reschedule. Little did the fox know that the wolf was just about to call him to cancel because the wolf had picked up a guy from the gym. Well...he probably wouldn't have told him that part. The blue fox called the closest tow truck company and they arrived in about twenty minutes. The driver was a gruff looking bear, a pretty big guy. A once over the fox and Duffin knew from his face that he was a bit weirded out. Fuck 'em he usually thought. \"You the guy that called us?\" The bear asked. Duffin nodded a bit and shrugged, \"I don't know what happened. I turned on the radio and it just died.\" The bear looked under the hood and hmmed some, scratching his chubby belly and Duffin found out that the myth about mechanics and plumbers was true. They never pulled their pants up and he could clearly see his butt, \"Well, it could be a few things. Can't fix it here. I'll hafta take it back to the shop. Get in the truck, I'll be right there.\" Duffin nodded and made his way into the truck. He knew absolutely nothing about car repair or maintenance, so he just sat quietly in the car as the truck driver pulled the car onto the wide bed on the back of the truck. It took a few minutes and then the bear got into the car. The truck was started and drove off. Duffin could see the bear glancing over at him every once in awhile and the fox huffed, \"What?\" The bear grunted, \"It's just, I never seen a fag before.\" Sure, he should be offended, but the fox didn't get offended by much, \"And what makes you think I am?\" \"Well...you got all those tight clothes and...you kinda sound like a girl,\" the driver said a bit, looking at the road now. \"Oh yeah? Does that bother you?\" Duffin asked him, looking to the driver. He quickly responded and shook his head, \"Well, no, I just...never seen one before.\" \"Oh, I'm sure you have. I bet there a gay guy that works at your job,\" Duffin said, smirking. He loved telling that to straight guys. It always made them worry. The driver just shrugged though, \"Well, yeah, I mean, is gay, but he ain't no fag like you.\" Ah, so that how it is. The fox thought, \"Oh, right...I get what you mean now...\" \"I don't mean anything by it, just was curious,\" the bear said. The conversation stopped there and they soon reached the place anyway. Duffin hurried out of the truck and made his way into the main building, finding the guy behind the counter. Duffin saw, by the tag on his overalls, that his name was . Duffin grinned softly. \"Hey there...uh, my car broke down...\" The fox said, looking at the large wolf behind the counter. He had not so much a chubby build, but one of a guy who works on cars everyday. His fur was very greasy and some parts of the grey wolf's face were black with oil splatter. \"Oh, right. Uh, here, fill this stuff out and we'll see if we can find out what's wrong with your car,\" The wolf replied and handed Duffin a clipboard. He smiles professionally to Duffin and went back to looking over some paperwork. Pfft, he isn't gay...that bear probably just wishes...I know I do. He thought as I took the clipboard over and began to fill out the information on it while a soap opera played on the TV attached to the ceiling which was obligatory in all auto mechanic shops because female were usually the ones that went to an auto mechanic. After filling it out, he handed the clipboard back to Chad, who nodded as he looked it over, then told him to have a seat and that he would let the fox know when his car was looked over. After about fifteen minutes, came over and looked to Duffin, \"Well, we checked your car out and it looks like you need a new transmission. Gonna be about fifteen hundred dollars.\" Duffin gasped as he looked up at , swallowing, \"F-fifteen hundred? That's more than a make in a month! I-I can't afford that!\" hmmed a bit as he looked at the clipboard he held in his paw, rubbing his chin, \"Let's see...we have financing available you can try to get.\" Duffin sighed, \"Eighteen year old with a credit card. Need I say more?\" The wolf ahhhhed and nodded, \"I see...well, I'm sure we can figure something out. I'll just have the guys put in that new transmission.\" Before Duffin could complain, had gone into the back. Fuck, how am I going to pay for this? I guess I could ask Mom and Dad... He thought. After about an hour, came back in and was smiling softly. \"Alright, it's running perfectly.\" He said, wiping off his paws on a towel, looking almost like a surgeon that had just saved someone's life. Duffin stood up, \", I told you I couldn't pay for this...\" he said and swallows nervously. chuckled and opened his office door, \"Come on in and let us talk payment.\" Duffin followed the wolf into the office and heard the door close, looking back at , who was smirking. \"So...I was thinking. A certain tow truck driver was telling me you had a conversation about being gay. And seeing as we have the same orientation, we might come to an...agreement,\" the wolf said, sitting on the edge of his desk as he looked down at the gaily dressed fox. Duffin swallowed nervously and gave the wolf a full glance over. He certainly wasn't unattractive and looked very strong. He was even hotter with all of the grease on his fur, made it seem so dirty. He actually blushed slightly and nodded as he looked up to the wolf, \"Um...what sort of agreement?\" The wolf chuckled and reached a paw up to slowly pull the zipper of his overalls down past his belly and to the end right below his crotch. The wolf's sheath flopped into view as he tugged his balls out as well, letting the rest above the overalls, \"I think you know, foxy.\" Duffin swallowed and glanced around and saw all of the shades drawn over the windows, and then looked back to the thick wolf sheath. He could smell the wolf's musk from there, all of his scent having been trapped in those overalls. Duffin slowly slipped out of the chair and went to his knees before the large wolf, looking up to him. was simply leaning against his desk, his paws resting on the edge as he watched the blue fox. He slid a paw up the wolf's thigh and cupped his balls, drawing a groan from . He leaned forward and the scent was overpowering, filling him with lust more by the second. He slid his tongue out and lapped along the grey wolf sheath, groaning himself at the taste of it. \"Mmm...that's a good foxy...\" groaned softly, closing his eyes a little. Duffin began to kiss along that sheath and watched as a bit of red wolfmeat pushed from the tip of his musky sheath. He kissed down to those large balls and suckled one into his muzzle, causing another groan to come from the wolf's muzzle. The smell of musk and sweat was filling the smaller fox's muzzle as he licked and sucked at the wolf's nuts. One of his paws began to pull the sheath up and down over the wolf's cock as it grew and hardened. The wolf mmmed softly and pulled Duffin's muzzle from his balls and gripped the base of his hard 10 inch dick, \"Come on, foxy. Onto the main course.\" The wolf chuckled softly and Duffin looked at that big cock, swallowing a bit nervously, but a bit in hunger as well. He leaned forward, pressing his muzzle to that shaft as he licked all along his hard shaft, feeling it throb against his blue muzzle. Pre began to leak from the tip and onto the fox's face. The wolf grinned and watched as Duffin licked to the tip and quickly pushed his lips around that shaft, taking a few inches into his muzzle. \"Oh fuck...\" The wolf moaned out as he felt Duffin's hot muzzle wrap around his staff, pre shooting into his muzzle. He rested a paw on Duffin's head and pushed a bit, making the fox take even more wolfcock into his muzzle. Duffin groaned around the hot shaft, his tongue licking at whatever he could get. He swallowed down the pre the wolf offered as he slide his paws around to grasp the wolf's ass through his overalls. He felt the tip press against the back of his throat, about half of the wolf's dick shoved in his muzzle. \"Mmm...don't stop now, foxy...we're just gettin' started...\" The wolf said as his other paw slid down to grasp his head. He suddenly thrust forward, forcing his cock down the blue fox's throat, making Duffin gag a bit. He struggled slightly as the wolf took complete dominance over him. His throat rippled around the red meat of the wolf as he pulled out and thrust back in, more pre leaking into the fox's belly. groaned as both of his paws held the fox's head on his cock, thrusting a bit faster as Duffin sucked on him. His knot began to grow as he muzzle-fucked the fox. He pulled his cock out and slapped both sides of Duffin's face, smearing precum into his fur before shoved that fat wolfcock back into his throat. Duffin could only kneel on the floor and endure the wonderful cock spearing his throat open as his paws gripped the big wolf's butt, blushing as that meat is slapped against his face. \"Mmm...Bruce was right, you are a fag. Ready to jump on any guy that offers their dick you to muzzle,\" said, grinning down at Duffin, \"I bet you got a tight ass too, huh?\" Duffin gasped around the cock in his muzzle and blushed deeply, his head bobbing on that thick flesh as the knot now began to hit his nose with each firm thrust of the wolf's hips. He felt those large nuts slapping his chin as well as the wolf drove in his muzzle. \"Nng...that'll be for another time, fox...right now I'm gonna spunk your face and you're gonna love it...\" The wolf grunted and moaned as he kept fucking Duffin's muzzle. He suddenly growled and pulled his dick from Duffin's blue muzzle. He held onto his headfur with one paw as the other jerked himself off quickly. He groaned as hot streaks of pearly white wolfcum splattered along Duffin's muzzle, contrasting with his blue fur. After a few shots, he aimed his cock down, splattering Duffin's neck and chest with his cum. He didn't know what to say. Duffin just sat there, panting heavily as his face drooling cum and pre and gasped as his shirt was splattered with cum as well. The wolf grinned a bit and slapped Duffin with his cock again, smearing the cum into his fur. \"Mmm, yeah...the guys are gonna love you...\" the wolf said, chuckling. \"G-guys?\" Duffin said, still panting a bit. The wolf grinned and nodded, \"Oh yes. Fifteen hundred dollars is a love of money, foxy. Don't think you're done yet.\" Duffin gasped and swallowed as he realized he was going to paying quite a lot now.\n\nTO BE CONTINUED...

Yes, it's just a smut story. But, it's been awhile since I wrote anything with me in it, so here ya go!

He walked through the Soundproofed door, into the Seattle office of one Damien Knight, CEO of Ares Macrotechnology.\n\nThe office was remarkably spartan, with naught but a table, chairs, and an enormous throw-rug on the floor that seemed rather out of place. but the room was large, normally used for secret board meetings when the utmost of security was needed. Soundproofed walls, listening device jammers, the whole shebang was SOTA. the room was also on the top floor of the Seattle ares building, providing a breathtaking view over the city through the ceiling to floor window. A small getaway from the world at large, a priceless commodity in this day and age.\n\n\"So, Dunklezahn, what brings you here tonight?\" Damien asked. \"What a silly question to ask, Damien. You know what I want, already.\" \"Just trying to make conversation, Big guy. You only ever use that other Metaform of yours when you come to seduce me,\" Damien replied with a growing grin on his young face. \"But we're secure now, so take that thing off and let me see the real you..\"\n\n\\--\n\nOutside the Ares Building (9:17 PM)\n\n\"The damn drone can barely go up that high, guys, let me try and stabilize the feed.. There. Okay, there's some polarization on the window, let me try and compensate.. There's Dunklezahn.. Is that Knight? I think it is.. Wait a minute.. are they doing what I think they're doing?!\"\n\n---\n\nThe disguised great dragon grinned. \"As you Wish, My Knight.\"\n\nQuickly stripping his clothes, the human form of the dragon began to coalesce and fade, before expanding greatly to a 15 foot tall mass, quickly focusing to the dragon's true form. Towering above Knight, the dragon's Silvery-blue scales glistened in the dim moonlight, his Great body filling up the room.\n\nThe dragon's claws came to a rest upon the young man's shoulders. \"Come, My knight.. Feel me..\" He said, pulling the young man to him. The humans arms wrapped around the dragon's bulk, holding the dragon close to him as best he could, pressing himself to the brilliant blue scales. the dragon responded in hind, his wings wrapping around the human, caressing his back gently, before reaching his neck down to kiss the man deeply, knight responding in kind, his tongue slipping into the dragon's maw.\n\n\\--\n\nAn alley to the south of the Ares Building - 9:26 PM\n\nI.. Whoa, that's hot... \"Shut it, chummer! Have you any idea how much we can sell this for...? Keep rolling!\"\n\n\\--\n\nThe kiss lasted what seemed like an eternity, giving the dragon time to easily disrobe the human with his dexterous claws, Damien's entire suit splitting neatly in twain and falling to the floor, leaving the young CEO naked at the whims of the great dragon. the human whimpered gently, pressing himself to the dragon's midsection, already quite erect at the mere thought of coupling with his lover.\n\nThe dragon Purr-rumbled gently, his lust rising as he ground his groin against the humans torso. Damien began to gently caress the dragon's genital slit,rubbing and licking around, and eventually inside it as the pouch split, revealing the tip of his cobalt blue dragonhood. Gasping at the sight, the human immediately began to lick and suck upon the dragon's cockhead, moaning gently as he coaxed the ever expanding dragon cock out of hiding.\n\nPurring in pleasure, the Dragon quickly became erect at the ministrations of the young CEO, his deep blue cock growing to it's full five foot length, and over a foot wide. almost as tall as Damien himself. The human quickly wrapped his arms around the enormous, leathery cock, his own erection standing at an impressive 9 inches, rubbing up against the dragon's own.\n\nThey remained that way for a while, the human gently stroking the dragon's length, and rubbing against it with his own erection, with Dunklezahn responding in kind, sliding his cock along Damien's chest. The dragon's cock began to leak heavily, a steady stream of precum drenching the human as it oozed steadily out of the thick, blue cock.\n\nDunklezahn could not keep going like this for much longer, the slow, gentle caresses causing him to whimper in need, so he decided to take control. Lifting the human in his arms, he lay him down upon the rug on the floor, and lay down atop him, pressing his thick cock against the human, who grasped the thick cock as best he could, stroking it more thoroughly, as the dragon growled gently, placing his claws upon the young man's shoulders, and began to thrust hard and fast, pressing his cock against the man's torso and fucking his chest, using the human for his pleasure.\n\nKnight straddled the Dragonhood as best he could, moaning loudly, his own cock rubbing firmly against the dragon's own as he was humped mercilessly by his blue lover, Dunklezahn's cock throbbing heavily in his arms. The thrusting continued in earnest, primal lust sending them on a ride they would never forget, the thick blue cock sliding up and down the young man's chest repeatedly, before finally, the pleasure became too much.\n\nThe human tensed around Dunklezahn's length, his moans catching in his throat, before being let out in a long, drawn out howl of pleasure. \"Oh, gawd.. Dunklezaaaahhhnn!\" Squealed Damien, the humans cock pulsing against the dragon's length, spurting his seed, a paltry offering to the great dragon, but enough to spur him over the edge to his own. With a great roar that cracked the outside window, the Dragon came.\n\nThe dragon's orgasm was as powerful as it was loud, the huge cock suddenly expanding to twice it's thickness in the young humans arms and pulsing obscenely, huge gouts of thick, blue dragon cum spraying from him. Each spurt seemed stronger than the last, the young human bathed in the great dragon's blue seed. Enormous amounts of Dunklezahn's cum continued to pulse out of his cock, the dragon roaring and thrusting hard, prolonging the orgasm as far as he could, using his abilities to continue cumming as hard and as long as he possibly could, gallons upon gallons of the dragon's seed pumping out and bathing the young CEO.\n\nBoth males reveled in the orgasm, the Dragon and his Knight rubbing up against each other, blue dragon seed pooling all around them, wallowing in the dragon's potent essence.. But alas, all good things must end, and the dragon's orgasm died down over the last few minutes, before quieting to a steady ooze, then nothing as the dragon's enormous reserves finally petered out, the Human holding the dragoncock gently in the afterglow, exhausted.\n\n---\n\n11:48 PM\n\n\"...Did you guys Get all that? Good. Encrypt the vidfile, and send it to my Deck. I'll figure out what we're gonna do with this later.. come on guys, we've had enough fun. let's go home.\" The young troll grinned, wiping himself down of his seed, silently thanking the gods that the rest of the team couldn't see what he was doing, and went to meet them on the opposite side of the building.\n\n---\n\nEpilogue\n\n1st January, 2057, 12:00 AM\n\nThe afterglow was shattered by an incessant beeping coming from somewhere in the humans now soaked clothes pile. the man reluctantly disengaged from the dragon's softening cock, and fished his Cell out of his pants, deactivating the timer alarm. Smiling, he hugged the dragon gently, the great reptile's half lidded eyes watching the human intently, before leaning down and kissing him deeply and lovingly. \"Thank you, my Knight.. you know how much I appreciate my time with you.\" Said Dunklezahn, nuzzling the young male's chest gently. \"Well, just remember. this stays here. outside this room, we're just businessmen.. well.. buisness-creatures.\" Damien replied, giving the dragon one last hug, before moving to retrieve a new set of clothes from a closet nearby.\n\n\"Do you know what time it is?\" Asked Damien, quickly getting dressed, not minding the smell of dragon on him, for noone but him or another dragon would know what that smell was.. all his associates he would met until he got home would think it was a new cologne.. he reminded himself to recover a sample of Dunklezahn's seed for testing. \"No?\" the dragon replied, Quickly shifting back to his previous Slavic human form, and redressing himself.\n\n\"It's 12:03. Happy new year, Dunkie.\" \"Heh... you too, My Knight.. But I must leave you for now.. I have.. things to do.\" The Disguised dragon's blue eyes seemed troubled. \"What's wrong, Dunklezahn? If there's anything I can do..?\" Knight seemed genuinely worried for the Dragon. He had been shying away from the media as of late, and had even postponed his Talk show, Wyrm Talk, almost indefinatley.\n\n\"No, Damien. I just have some things to think about, that's all.\" The disguised dragon turned to leave, started, and turned back again. \"Will I ever see you again like this, Dunklezahn?\" \"I..Don't know. But just remember, what I do, I do for all.\" \"Knowing you, it had better be big.\" He kissed the disguised dragon one last time, to burn the memory of the night into his mind.\n\n\"Thanks for a wonderful night, Dunkie.\" The disguised dragon grinned, and slipped something into Knight's hand gently. \"What's this?\" Damien asked. \"A...Token of my esteem. But do not open it until the time is right.\" \"And when, pray tell, is that?\" he pondered, examining the small, plain envelope.\n\n'You'll know, My Knight.\" And with that, Dunklezahn turned and left with a small wave, his mind once again on other things as he headed out of the building and back to his hotel room.\n\nFor once, the rain had stopped." } ]

This is actually a story series I uploaded a while ago, but I never finished. I've had pretty much constant requests for me to finish it, and I promised that I was read them over and see if inspiration hit me. But, as I read, the many, many errors and rather bland writing stuck out to me and I was filled with SHAME!!! (I usually try to avoid re-reading my stories, because the same thing always happened) But, as I was reading, I was reminded of why it was a popular series, so I decided to do a semi-kind favor and revamp the story and polish it up a bit more with some of the better writing skills I have gotten since I wrote it. It might also get me to write a 4th chapter, but I make no promises. So, here you are, the new and improve House Guest.\n\nAs always, readers should be of age, have an open mind, and eat a diet free of trans fats. This is my story, with my characters, so please do not use them without my permission. Now, start reading and enjoy!\n\nThis is part two.\n\nHouse Guest - I Need and Adult\n\nI just froze, stuck looking up at the fox looking down on me from the door; I had no idea what to do. My paws shook as they tugged my pants as high as I could get them and I heard my mouth start to stutter nonsense words I wasn't telling it to say.\n\nMy heart pounded so loudly in my chest I could have sown Terri could hear it. I started to feel light headed and it seemed like I was looking at the situation from outside my body. Terri's face changed as he figured out what I was doing and, everything started getting fuzzy around my eyes. My body suddenly felt too heavy, and I felt my head fall back.\n\nI regained consciousness to see Terri's muzzle close to mine. The dark scene shifted more in focus as I blinked. The fox's bright brown eyes were strongly fixed on mine as I felt his paw against my cheek.\n\n\"You with me, Ed?\" he said.\n\nI feebly nodded my head as I felt the blood circulate back to my body and a sharp pain piercing the back of my skull.\n\n\"Good,\" Terri said, rubbing a paw through my head fur as he broke the gaze. \"You fainted on me.\"\n\nAs I felt Terri's paw rub my head I got a whiff of his perfume. It was a flowery scent that had worn off from the day and was just barely covering up the pleasant, warm, male smell that came from his fur. My eyes wandered down to his trimmed muscle hidden behind his sports bra and I noticed something red poking through my pants.\n\nI quickly shifted to hide my erection as Terri sat back up on his knees.\n\n\"So, Ed, what are you doing out here?\" he said in a rather serious tone.\n\n\"I...I... um...\" I said as I tried to hide my stiff cock without him noticing, if he hadn't already. \"I was just... going to the bathroom and...\" I paused. My mind couldn't think of a single thing to say.\n\n\"And...?\"\n\n\"Well... I tripped...\" It sounded a lot less stupid in my head.\n\n\"You tripped?\" He looked down at me holding my pants closed tightly. \"Uh huh...\" He looked back at my face. \"I think we need to talk.\"\n\nHe stood up and motioned for me to follow him. When he had turned around, I quickly zipped my fly and stood up just in time to see him look down at the cum I left by his door. He kept on walking through the door without a word.\n\nI looked back down the hall to my room and reluctantly followed Terri in, where he closed the door behind me. He pointed to the bed with a look of frustration on his face as he walked over to his closet and pulled out a peach colored, satin robe and slipped it on.\n\nI caught myself peeking at his body one last time before it was hidden behind the fabric. I felt a mixture of lust and shame that stewed deep inside my stomach. I sat down on the bed and looked down at my feet.\n\nTerri slowly walked over to me and sat down a few inches away.\n\n\"Ed... I know what you were really doing.\"\n\nI stayed silent.\n\n\"It's not ok to look in on people like that. But I remember what it's like to be your age, so I can forgive you.\"\n\nI felt a little relived, but the heavy sense of shame remained. There was a moment of silence before he turned to me. I looked up and he stared straight into my eyes. Those glistening brown eyes focused on my soul and I felt like I was naked and couldn't hide anything.\n\n\"Ed,\" Terri said without even blinking. \"Why were you looking at me through the crack in the door?\"\n\nSomething in me broke and I felt my eyes start to well up. I looked away and tried to make them stop but I could already feel the tears run down my cheek fur. My paws rushed to my eyes, trying to rub it all away but I just ended up feeling stupid for trying. I never cry and I couldn't figure out why all of a sudden I was Niagara Falls.\n\nI tried to talk but the tears stole my voice and all that came out was a screechy whine which only made me feel even more like an idiot. I quickly stood up, still trying to wipe the tears away, and I made an exit to the door, but Terri grabbed my elbow, stopping me.\n\nI covered my eyes tightly, trying to hide my uncontrollable emotions and I felt his arms wrap around me. I tried to wiggle from his grasp, but his arms only tightened around me more. I felt a paw gently pet my head fur and I pressed my muzzle against his shoulder, giving in.\n\nThe tears stopped. As I sniffled, Terri's paw gently rubbed my head and he whispered, \"It's alright, I forgive you,\" into my ear. I pulled my paws down from between us and gently wrapped them around his waist, pressing the side of my face into his neck. He was warm and his robe felt soft against my fur. I rubbed my cheek softly against him.\n\nWe stood there for what seemed like an hour. My overpowering feeling of being an idiot slowly melted away as his arms held me, making me feel secure and loved. My eyes ached as I closed them and sniffled one last time. His scent was strong in my nose.\n\nI felt him kiss my forehead. It seemed so natural in his arms. His warm lips left my fur, but I still had his soft shoulder to rest on. I opened my eyes and looked up. Behind a smile, his shining auburn eyes were looking back at me.\n\nI didn't even feel my neck muscles move the few inches, but I felt my lips press against his. I could feel his breath against my nose as I looked deeper into the gold lined spheres of his eyes. My tongue pushed forward and into his mouth. He pressed his against mine and they entwined.\n\nI felt my sheath pulse as one of my paws moved down his back. His silky robe slid easily under my paw pads as I moved lower and lower. I felt the fabric of his panties and kept on going. His muscular cheek filled my paw. A gave a soft squeeze. It was a perfect firmness and I felt my sheath pulse again.\n\nI realized that my tongue was pushed as far into his mouth as I could get it, but his tongue had disappeared. Then I noticed I didn't feel his arms around me anymore. I opened my eyes and saw those same eyes staring back at me, but they didn't have the same intensity as before. The love had been replaced with concern. I let go of his ass and pulled away.\n\nHe looked off trying to avoid eye contact with me. My paws slipped from his sides and we stood there in the middle of the room, slowly drowning in the awkwardness.\n\nMy heart beat got strong again as I replayed what I had just done in my head. Terri was still off looking at everything but me. I felt my erection poking against my pants and I gulped.\n\n\"Am... am I gay?\" I asked nervously.\n\nTerri looked back at me and stared for a while, not sure how to respond. Then he walked back over to the bed and patted next to him. I followed and sat down, making sure there was a fair distance between us.\n\n\"It's not as easy as that, Ed,\" Terri said. \"It's not a 'yes, no' kind of question. And it's not something that I could answer for you; you need to answer it on your own.\"\n\nI sat there thinking quietly to myself.\n\n\"If you think you are, then there is a good chance that you may in fact be gay. But if you're not sure, it may just be something you are curious about; that's a very common thing for boys your age. When I was in high school I was really confused, and I thought all sorts of things. But eventually I just sort of knew what I was, and it all made sense. You just have to fi....\"\n\n\"But, seeing you...\" I interrupted, \"and smelling you, and feeling you, and kissing you... I've never felt like that about any girl before. Not even close.\"\n\n\"Well, maybe you are gay.\" The words still made my heart skip a beat even though I knew their truth for a while. \"Or maybe you are still just curious and you want to experiment. Like I said, it's an answer you can only get from yourself.\"\n\n\"But all I want to do right now,\" I said, leaning closer to him and looking into his eyes \"is kiss you...\" I moved closer, as he leaned farther back. \"And touch you...\" I kept on moving closer, getting on my knees. He was now flat on his back, looking up at me with those big brown eyes. \"And...\" I was now practically straddling him as I shoved my muzzle on to his. Our tongues met and we closed our eyes, letting the feeling of our kiss take over.\n\nI moved a paw down and fumbled with the tie of his robe, quickly freeing his body and sliding the smooth fabric aside. I placed a paw on his warm stomach and ran my fingers through his soft fur. I heard him moan as I moved my paw down. I felt the rim of his underwear and I paused. My erection was straining harder against my pants then I had ever felt before as my paw moved and cupped his package. It was large and hot under the thin cloth. It filled my entire hand as it gently pulsed at my touch. I squeezed and it grew. He moaned into our kiss as I moved my paw against his increasing length.\n\nI slid our kiss down to his neck and worked my way down. His silky fur slid under my lips as I passed his collar bone. His chest was warm, and I could feel his heart beat as I moved down. I passed over his bra, and pressed against his firm stomach as I heard him say, \"You are really smooth for someone your age, but I really don't think we should do this.\" I tried to kiss him one more time, but was interrupted by his paw pulling his robe over himself.\n\nI sat up between his legs with my very obvious tent poking out.\n\n\"Why not?\" I asked, confused and sad.\n\n\"Well, other than the obvious age difference, there is the fact that I'm pretty sure your mother would kick me out if she found out, the fact that I don't know if you're really gay or just curious... and the fact that I don't put out on the first date.\"\n\nI stood there kneeling between his legs with my erection still pressing firmly against my pants, feeing confused and rejected. I slowly slipped my leg back over and stepped off the bed. I tried to hide my aroused state as my blushing cheeks shined red through my blonde fur.\n\n\"I'm sorry. I'm not really sure what happened there... Sorry...\" I said, feeling like a total ass and walking towards the door. With a final \"Sorry,\" I opened the door and quickly vanished off to my room.\n\nI ran to my door and closed it. I paused and stood leaning against the cold wood for a long time as my mind raced.\n\nWhat did I just do?\n\nI walked over to my bed and laid down. I tried to clear my mind, but I just kept replaying the whole thing over and over in my mind. I covered my head with a pillow, wanting sleep to take mercy on mine as the hours past. The glow of the clock on my knight stand taunted me as I tossed and turned in guilt and anger and confusion late into the night.\n\n\\\\\\\n\nAs the bright light of morning poured pitilessly through my window, I woke up with a jolt. I peeled my heavy eyelids open and groaned. I felt like complete crap. I could feel the bags under my eyes as I sat up in bed. I looked down and realized I had slept the night in my clothes. I frowned and looked over at my mirror. My head fur was all messed up and my shirt was wrinkly; I looked like crap too. I sighed and heaved over the side of the bed and stood up, catching my balance as I yawned.\n\nI walked over to my dresser and gathered some fresh clothes. I walked out of my room to the bathroom, walking faster as I passed Terri's closed door. I locked myself in the tiled sanctuary and looked at myself in the mirror again. The harsh lighting did not favor me. I turned around and turned on the shower and got undressed. I stepped in and let the water run down my fur. My body ached from the lack of sleep.\n\nI turned the hot water knob and turned it as far as it would go, watching the steam rise as the boiling water prickled my flesh. I scrubbed my face and sighed. I let the searing water pour over me for a few more minutes before shampooing my fur up. As I rubbed my chest and belly, I bumped against my sheath. It felt good and I slowly began lathering lower. My tip poked out and I wrapped my paw around it, moaning softly to myself as I squeezed. I let my cock grow into my paw as I gently pumped away; my sighs of pleasure mixing with the splash of the water against my body.\n\nI gave a tight squeeze and moaned again. The hot water poured down my back as I watched the pre start to ooze from my tip. I pictured Terri bent over, his orange back arching in front of me with his fluffy tail resting over it. I pressed my hard cock through my fist, pretending it was the tight hole between his cheeks. I pictured his large cock bobbing underneath him as I thrust into his ass. I moaned as he did to, shoving my cock deep inside of him. He felt so good and it didn't take long for the fantasy to get me off as I speedily humped away. The orgasm rocked my body as I moaned and shot my load onto the shower wall, wishing it has been inside of Terri instead.\n\nI stood back up feeling the hot water spill over me again with no doubt that I was gay. I sighed and rinsed off; Terri never leaving my mind. When I thought about him, the funny butterfly feeling still came back. I knew this was serious.\n\nI turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, grabbing a towel and drying off. As I ruffled it over my head and pulled it off, I looked at myself in the mirror. The shower had freshened me up a lot, and I looked down at my body. I was still pretty skinny, but I had some muscle under my fur. I flexed my arms, looking at the little lump of muscle, wondering what Terri would think of it. I stood back and looked at my full, nude body, posing and pretending the fox was standing right there. My eyes wandered down my scrawny little body again as my red tip poked out from my sheath. I looked over to the frosted glass window next to the toilet and felt a little embarrassed for working over the mirror so much, even though no one was watching. I put on the fresh set of clothes and smoothed out my head fur in the mirror so it would dry nicely.\n\nAfter one last quickly pose in the mirror, I opened the door and heard a little yelp. Terri must have just walked up to the door and was about to knock when I surprised him. I jumped a little and looked down. He had a pink thong on the stack of clothing he was holding, and he quickly covered it up in embarrassment. As the red from our blushes took over both our faces, I quickly walked on past and practically ran to my room.\n\nI waited until I could hear the bathroom door close. With the coast clear, I walked back out and down to the living room. I sat down on the couch and tried to drown out my thoughts with mindless television.\n\nMy mom walked in holding some grocery bags and set them on the counter in the kitchen.\n\n\"Hey hun, you want anything to eat? I just went to the store,\" she said, poking around inside of one of the bags.\n\n\"No, I'm good,\" I said, refusing to pull my attention away from the TV.\n\n\"What about Terri, do you know if he wants some breakfast?\"\n\n\"How would I know? It's not like I talk to him or anything,\" I barked.\n\n\"You don't have to get so defensive, mister crabby pants. I was just asking if you saw him and he had mentioned it.\"\n\n\"I'm not defensive, I just don't talk to the guy, so I wouldn't know,\" I said before realizing how stupid it sounded.\n\nMy mom just rolled her eyes and started unpacking the groceries.\n\nI returned to the non-judging television screen and slowly got lost in the show I was watching. Everything on my mind just disappeared, which is what I needed. I didn't even notice that Terri had sat down next to me until my mom walked over and asked him if he wanted breakfast.\n\nWhen he answered, I jumped a little in surprise. He gave me a funny look but I tried not to look at him.\n\n\"I'm sorry about last night...\" he leaned over and whispered to me.\n\nI just sat there staring at the TV.\n\n\"If you want to still talk about it,\" he said, attempting to put a paw on my knee but deciding it was a bad idea, \"you can come over tonight again.\"\n\nI pretended I wasn't listening, but really, I was working over every word, noise and move he was making in my mind. I wasn't even paying any attention to the TV as I stared with my glazed-over eyes in its direction.\n\nHe sighed, stood up and walking into the kitchen with my mom.\n\nThe rest of the day moved rather slowly and was, for the most part, completely uneventful. My mom and Terri went out for shopping and dinner or something, so I had the house to myself. The opportunity was wasted on me because I just sat in front of the TV with all the lights out, frying my brain cells and avoiding the thoughts in my head. But after the seventh episode in a reality show marathon about angry brides on their wedding day, I turned it off and walked upstairs to my room. As I passed Terri's door, I noticed it was open a crack. He must not be very good at closing his doors fully.\n\nI walked past, not thinking anymore of it, but as I reached my door, I turned around and walked back to his room. I gently pushed the door open and slid inside. It was dark in the cold room so I turned on the bedside lamp. I looked around, knowing I shouldn't be in there.\n\nI quickly moved to his desk and started searching delicately to not disturb anything. I wasn't sure what I was looking for, or even why I was doing it, but I just felt like there was something I needed to know.\n\nAs I searched through a drawer full of office supplies I spied a small wooden box sitting next to a vase, off to the corner of the desk. I closed the drawer and approached it cautiously. I lifted the lid and saw that it had a single necklace and an old picture in it. I picked up the photo and unfolded it.\n\nIt was Terri in a wide sunhat kissing a rather buff looking Labrador male with long hair. I turned it over and read the caption.\n\n'Aug. 12 Day at the beach with my sweetie pie'\n\nI picked up the necklace and looked at it. It was a chain with two rings on it. I took another look at the picture and saw that Terri was wearing one of the rings on his paw.\n\nI noticed another thin, yellowed piece of paper folded delicately at the bottom of the box. I picked it up and looked at it. It was an obituary for the lab in the picture. I read it, feeling my stomach and throat get tight as I did.\n\n'Evan Walker, age 24, passed away Sep. 19th after seven days with severe injuries from a car accident. Survived by loving husband, mother, father and sister. Funeral service to be held at noon in family home on Sep. 25th. Requested that only close friends and family attend.'\n\nI could feel my eyes well up again as I carefully put the things back in the box as I found it and closed the lid. I turned off the light and left the door ajar, leaving no trace that I had been there.\n\nI walked slowly back to my room and sat down on my bed and wiped a tear away. I laid back and thought about life and everything that can happen in it, feeling a world of emotion in a small amount of time.\n\nI heard Terri and my mom walk in laughing. I heard them climb up the stairs and say good night to each other as they parted ways.\n\nI waited in the dark of my room for a while until all the noise in the house stopped. I poked my head out from my door and saw the crack of light pouring from Terri's door. I stepped out and stood there silently, trying to figure out if I really wanted to continue. I took another step, still debating. I closed my eyes and took another step, and another, and another still, until I was practically there. I opened my eyes and committed to my plan by knocking on his door frame.\n\nI heard a faint \"Come in\" and I slowly pushed open the door. Terri was sitting at his desk in a pair of light green pajama pants and a gray sports bra. He was smiling as he watched me come in.\n\n\"Hi, Ed. How are you?\" he asked.\n\n\"I'm good. How about you?\"\n\n\"I'm just fine. Is there something you wanted to talk about?\" he said, turning to face me in his chair.\n\n\"Yeah...\"\n\n\"Well, do you want to sit on the bed?\"\n\n\"Sure,\" I said, moving towards the bed and sitting on its edge.\n\n\"No, no, no. Come, sit like this with me,\" he said, scooting onto the bed and sitting up against the head board.\n\nI followed and slid up next to him.\n\n\"So, what did you want to talk about?\" Terri said, smiling and flashing his brown eyes at me.\n\n\"I'm pretty sure I'm gay.\"\n\n\"Pretty sure?\" he said, lifting an eyebrow.\n\n\"I... know... I'm gay.\"\n\n\"Well, that is good that you've figured that out. Do you have any questions?\"\n\nI shook my head 'No'.\n\n\"Well, is there anyth...\"\n\n\"Can I kiss you again?\"\n\nTerri just looked at me before turning away and sighing.\n\n\"Ed... I can't...\"\n\n\"Why not? All you have to do is sit there,\" I said, leaning over to him again.\n\n\"Ed, no,\" he said, pushing me away gently. \"I just can't.\"\n\n\"But we did it before!\"\n\n\"I know. I wasn't thinking...\"\n\n\"So? Stop thinking again!\" I said, leaning closer still.\n\n\"ED! No,\" he said, standing up from the bed.\n\nThe guilty feeling returned as he looked at me with those eyes. There was a long silence as Terri turned around and rubbed his temples.\n\n\"Did you kiss me last night because I reminded you of Evan?\" I asked.\n\nIf it was possible, the night instantly got quieter as Terri froze. I knew I had made a mistake.\n\n\"...How.... how do you know about Evan?\"\n\n\"You didn't answer my question.\"\n\nTerri turned around and looked at me. His eyes looked watery as he sat down. A tear ran down his cheek and he nodded.\n\n\"He was the love of my life, and I only had him for three years before he was taken from me.\" He looked off into the distance as his voice got a little hoarse. \"I guess I did too many wicked things in my life to deserve him for longer than that. When he died I just kind of got lost.\" His paw trembled as he put it against his chest, looking at me. \"I didn't know what to do or where to go. So I ended up on the streets and I lost everything. Without him in my life, there didn't seem like there was any reason to continue, so I just let everything fall apart around me. I did a lot of things I wasn't proud of...\" He looked away from me, and cleared his throat as he choked back some more tears. His eyes met mine again, and his sadness echoed in them. \"Then I went to a shelter, and someone walked up to me and offered to take me in to their home. I didn't want to. I didn't think I deserved the kindness, but he convinced me to try it. After a while I started to see the rest of my life I had left behind, and I tried to pick up the pieces, but it was too late. So, I spent some time there, in that house, until I moved to another home, and another, trying to find the key to figuring out how to fix it all. And then I came here, to a new place, with new people.\"\n\nHis eyes flashed at me again, red with tears. \"And then you showed up and kissed me, just like he did.\" He looked away and clenched his fist. \"I closed my eyes and I was with him again. It was like the accident never happened, and he was back in my arms. But when I opened my eyes again I realized what I was doing and I couldn't go on.\"\n\nHe looked down at his paws as a tear dripped from his cheek. \"He lived for a week after the crash in a coma, and seeing him there, smashed and broken; his life dangling by a string, I would have given anything for him to be alright again. I didn't leave his side once. They had to force me to sleep because I refused to stop holding his paw. As long as I could feel a pulse in him, he was with me. But one night, they convinced me to take a nap, and I woke up to a screeching noise coming from a machine and the pulse was gone. I never got to say goodbye to him.\"\n\nTerri began balling and I scooted over and gave him a hug. His body heaved with his cries, and my paw gently moved along his arm. He wiped his eyes and sniffled as he continued.\n\n\"My last memory of him is him lying there perfectly still. The tubes and wires and stitches and bandages covering him,\" he said through his tears. \"The doctors told me I'd only have a few hours with him when he first came in. But he lasted a week; he wanted to survive. But when no one was looking, He took him from me like the coward He is.\"\n\nHe looked painfully up at the heavens, mouthing \"Why?\" but only giving a rough screech from his throat before he broke down, crying again. As he collapsed into his paws, I wrapped around him more, trying to comfort him.\n\n\"I miss his so much...\" I heard him whisper through his paws.\n\nI rubbed his back and tried to calm him as best as I could. I pulled him back and we laid down on the bed. He crawled up against me and I pet his head fur gently. His soft sobbing filled the room as we laid there. I closed my eyes and gave him a light squeeze. I felt a kiss on my muzzle, but I didn't say anything.\n\nHis warm body was pressed tight against mine as his crying slowly got fainter.\n\n\\\\\\\n\nI woke up the next morning with my arm wrapped around Terri's waste as we spooned. Unsure of what I should do, I tried to move, but Terri grabbed my arm and mumbled something in his sleep about me not leaving for work. I shifted a little more to see if I could slip free, but he only tightened his grip, bringing my paw to his mouth as he kissed it saying \"I love you Evan\" in a sleepy tone.\n\nI waited a little while as the fox snuggled into the pillow and tried pulling my hand free again. He let go and I quickly moved. I could hear him whimper a little as he searched for my missing paw. Feeling bad I petted his head. I saw a smile appear across his muzzle as he turned and wrapped an arm around me, pulling me close. He kissed me on the lips, giggling softly. As he tongue entered my mouth I felt my sheath pulse again, but my mind was debating if I should just wake him up.\n\nIt didn't matter much though, because his eyes opened and he jumped as he saw it was me. He scrambled, apologizing and standing up from the bed. I could see that there was a rather large lump hidden in his pajama pants.\n\nI stood up on my knees, looking at the fox cursing under his breath and looking towards the wall.\n\n\"Why are you sorry?\" I asked, moving a little closer to him.\n\n\"Because I shouldn't be doing that.\"\n\n\"Why not?\"\n\n\"I already told you why.\"\n\n\"You seemed to be enjoying it until you opened your eyes.\" I was now at the very edge of the bed. I reached out and wrapped my arms around his waist again. His paws moved to stop me, but they only pressed my paws against his stomach. \"You seemed so happy.\"\n\n\"I was. I was dreaming about him.\"\n\nI pressed my body against his and placed my muzzle on his shoulder, his soft voice humming in my ear.\n\n\"It was so nice to see him again. He's the only one I've had, and I can only see him in my sleep.\"\n\n\"How long has it been since you've been loved by someone?\"\n\n\"Since the accident... four years ago.\"\n\n\"Do you think Evan would like to know you've been alone so long?\"\n\n\"...No...\"\n\n\"Then why not?\"\n\nTerri turned to me and looked into my eyes.\n\n\"I can't...\"\n\n\"You can...\"\n\nI pressed my muzzle up against his. His arms wrapped around me as we kissed deeply. I pressed my hips against him and he moaned. His cock pulsed against mine. I felt a paw move to my chest, but it pushed me away.\n\n\"Not now...\" he said, separating from me.\n\n\"When?\"\n\n\"I don't know, just not now, not here.\"\n\nI stood there next to him looking into his eyes not knowing how to respond.\n\nHis eyes focused deep into mine. Then they broke away quickly.\n\n\"I need to do some thinking...\" he said, walking to the door.\n\nI followed him to the door. He put a paw on my shoulder.\n\n\"Ed...\" he looked back into my eyes. \"Thanks for last night. I haven't talked about him in a long time, and I really needed to.\" He gave me a soft kiss on the cheek before opening the door and letting me out.\n\nI watched him disappear behind the closing door and I walked down to the living room and sprawled out on the couch and sighed. There was a lot of thinking to do.\n\nTo be continued :3" } ]

He had no plans until the parent's arrivals, so he thought it best to get a little stroll in. He yawned as he looked at his wrist watch, noting the remaining time before the whole event began. He was about to head back to his classroom until a sudden tapping grabbed his attention.\n\nHis ears perked to the sudden sound as it rasped out again, like little fingers tapping from the inside of the nearby maintenance closet. The serval rolled his eyes as he walked over to the small room, the school's janitor notorious for his occasional forgetfulness. \"Ok get out of there!\" he said sternly as he walked in, about to grab whichever student had come in early to cause him trouble.\n\nAs stepped in, the fur on his back shot immediately up, the teacher gulping as a small white paw shut the door behind him, locking it. \"Mr. Thibault... I-I've been thinking about you...\" the marble fox whispered as he leaned against the serval's crotch, the young cub entirely naked, his clothing strewn about the shelves above him. \"I know, this... could get you in a lot of trouble,\" Aiden continued as he pulled the serval's jean zipper down, \"...but I promise...\" he slipped out the feline's hard cock, gasping as he saw just how big it was.\n\nHe sucked on the head tip for a moment, lathering it in saliva as the adult just moaned, still overwhelmed but clearly turned on, \"I promise I won't tell anyone,\" Aiden continued, \"...an-and you can do whatever you want with me!\"\n\nThe serval looked around anxiously as he tried to skim his memories, unable to recall rather the young fox was on Isaac's 'approved list' or not. After a few more sucks however, he gave up, holding the back of the cub's neck gently as he thrust into the warm muzzle, \"Ok kid,\" he groaned, pulling his shirt off, \"You got thirty minutes... make it count!\"\n\nAiden sighed lustfully as the serval's length slid down his muzzle, filling up a good amount of his throat. The marble fox cub couldn't have been happier, in his own form of heaven as he knelled down on his knees in the janitor's closet. He would work take turns between pushing his throat down over the shaft and letting it drop it to give it soft kisses, his lips literally worshiping that cock of the man he fancied.\n\nLance leaned back against one of the closet's shelves as he gasped and groaned, the cub showing such expertise despite his lack of experience. He didn't know how the boy had been practicing but the look in his eyes told him that the boy had prepared it precisely for him. \"Damn, that's good kid!\" the serval sighed as he reached down, his paw stroking the cub's hair.\n\nThe marble fox cooed softly in return, letting the teacher's cock bounce out over his forehead, spraying a few shots of pre onto his forehead as he sucked on the teacher's firm, somewhat musky balls. \"I've wanted this for a long time\" the fox spoke with a bashful chuckle, sliding his tongue up and down between the serval's balls and shaft.\n\n\"Heh, I can see that!\" Lance said as he scritched the fox's ears, \"Does that mean I don't have to limit my enjoyment?\" His eye raised a little curiously, fingers snaking under the cub's tail to prod at his pucker.\n\nThe fox smiled as he raised his feet a little, letting the serval's fingers slide in a little as he sucked the feline's cockhead, \"I'm all yours!\"\n\n\"Alright cutie,\" the teacher grinned as he pushed his fingers in deeper, wiggling them around, \"Let's get you stretched out!\" The cub grunted as he felt the slight invading sting in his rear, the lack of lube not too much of an issue yet. His saliva was already dripping to the floor under the pair, the marble fox still swallowing down the serval's length needily. \"Mmm, you're really good at that,\" Lance moaned as he thrust up into the student's mouth, \"Can't wait to get in here!\" As he spoke he kept sliding his fingers around in the tight warmth of the cub butt.\n\n\"L-Lance...\" the fox said, looking away slightly, \"C-can I kiss you?\"\n\nThe serval looked down at the boy as he looked so charming and unassuming, chuckling to himself as he lowered himself a little. \"Sure kid!\" he said as he pressed his lips to the fox's, their tongues meeting in a smooth, sensual slide as his fingers kept working their magic on the boy's backside.\n\nAiden's heart hammered in his chest as he rubbed his smaller tongue affectionately against the adult's larger one, their lips pressed against one another as he felt the dull, fullness in his rear, like he had practiced feeling so many times on his own. He leaned into the teacher, hugging him with both arms as the kissed continued, his breath staggered and panting as their embrace broke. \"Th-that was nice...\" Aiden blushed, crying out again as the serval attempted to sneak in a third finger. \"H-here,\" he stuttered as he reached behind one of the boxes on the nearby shelves, revealing a bottle of 'EZ-Glide', \"I brought this.\"\n\nLance grinned as he saw the little bottle of lube the cunning fox had brought with him, \"Eager is definitely an understatement with you huh?\" As he snatched the bottle from his companion, a thought occurred to him. \"Tell ya what, ummm...\"\n\n\"Aiden\" the fox giggled, realizing all this passion had occurred before they had even been on a first name basis.\n\n\"Lance,\" the serval offered before continuing, suddenly laying down on the closet floor, \"Sit up here!\" he offered as he patted his chest. The cub followed his instructions, carefully resting his legs on the adult's chest as he heard the cap to his lube bottle flick open and the squishing sound of some of its contents drain out. He let out a loud whining pant as three cool, slick digits probed into his rear, spreading him open good and wide as the serval's lips wrapped around the boy's modest cubhood.\n\nAiden whimpered and moaned as he felt the serval's tongue rub against his shaft, the adult easily fitting his entire length down his muzzle, even getting some of his little knot in. At the same time, the spreading tingles of his backside were no longer painful, instead just tickling, the deeper they got the better he felt. The young marble fox's body tensed up as a strong flutter filled his body, the teacher stopping just in time to allow the cub only a small cum shot, his young knot barely satisfied.\n\nHe groaned out as he swallowed the salty, youthful release, his fingers slipping out of the cub's rear. Just as the fox had begun to shake and shiver, Lance gripped his cock, pressing it against the boy's pucker, teasingly poking the tip in, \"So Aiden... how far do you want to take this?\"\n\nThe marble fox looked back at the teacher with almost a glare, the teasing tickle of his cockhead a cruel form of torture. A more dominant side seemed to well up in him as he was denied more of the desirable feline's manhood, and he leaned his smaller body back, pushing his tush down, until his prepped pucker swallowed a good half of the offered shaft. \"I'm taking this all the way Lance, don't think you're getting away with any less!\"\n\nThe serval was already panting himself, as he felt the intense tight warmth that gripped his cock, his hips bucking gently as he plunged more of himself into the eagerly accepting rump, \"God Aiden, y-you feel wonderful!\" He looked up, mesmerised as the cub had begun to ride his shaft, nearly every inch of him swallowed up by the bouncing pup, \"Ok Aiden, brace yourself!\"\n\nBefore the fox could contemplate the nature of the teacher's words he had raised the boy up a bit, his hips thrashing as he slammed his cock down deep, the head of his prick punching the fox's prostate. Aiden could barely breathe as the dull, tense feeling in his bowels overtook him, a pleasure unlike any he had ever felt causing his mind to go numb. \"H-harder Lance, t-ahh! Take me!\"\n\nThe serval grunted and groaned as he continually buried himself into the boy's backside, his thrusts growing faster and harder as his partner had begged for. He reached suddenly for the back of the boy's head, doing all the work to push their muzzles together, his tongue invading the boy's mouth as they shared a sloppy, feral kiss. Lance could feel Aiden's heart beating frantically as he kissed him, his cock still slamming into the boy's prostate.\n\nThe serval coaxed the boy to stand back up as their muzzles parted, his hard cock flopping out, leaving him a momentary view of the overly stretched hole. \"Lean on that shelf!\" the teacher commanded, the fox eagerly obeying, holding his rump out as he gripped the shelf beside him. The serval aimed his cock carefully back into place, hot-dogging the boy's tailcheeks a few times before finally sinking back into the warmth of his ass. Both males sighed out in unison as everything just felt right again, Lance's paws holding Aiden's hips as he bucked wildly into the cub's tight rear.\n\n\"Mmmf-harder!\" Aiden moaned out as the serval growled out behind him, his thrusts became wild lunges as he stopped holding back, realizing the young marble fox could easily stand all of what he had to offer.\n\nThe feeling engulfing his manhood and the appearance of the adorable pup in ecstasy was far too much for Lance and he soon groaned out, \"G-gonna cum, want me to pull out?\"\n\nAiden panted as he began to paw himself off, body tightening as he whimpered, \"F-fuck no!\" The serval couldn't help but laugh as he gave one final, heavy thud into the boy's backside, his spines gripping the canine's inner flesh tightly as the throbbing tip fired volleys of thick seed. Aiden winced as he felt the harsh stinging of the feline's barbs, able to push past it as he stroked out his own cumshot, catching it in his palm. It took several agonizing minutes until the serval's cock finally simmered down, releasing its hold on the young fox.\n\nAiden sort of staggered before falling back into the teacher's arm, Lance gently rubbing the boy's forehead as he whispered, \"Damn kid, I'm impressed!\" Aiden smiled weakly as he caught his breath, slowly getting back to his own two feet without support. As his orgasm subsided, he had become shy again, falling silent as he looked away with a slight blush. Lance had already begun to dress himself again, and was clearly muttering to himself as he looked at the time.\n\n\"I-I umm, guess you should get going to your parent/teacher thing...\" the marble fox said shyly.\n\n\"Yeah,\" the serval replied, patting the cub on the head as he turned to leave, \"Tell ya what though... why don't you stop by my classroom sometime?\"\n\nThe fox looked up with a rather cheerful smile as he seemed to bounce on the balls of his feet, \"Really, you mean it?!\"\n\nThe teacher laughed as he nodded his head, \"You make a very convincing first impression,\" as he left he gave the student one last parting statement, \"Oh, and next time, I'll pick the location... some place a little nicer for us.\"\n\nAs the door closed Aiden lay in a warm heap, his body and mind in triumphant afterglow. A grin remained on his muzzle as he rubbed his belly, slightly bloated as his rear ached rom the onslaught. All was well in Aiden's world as he let his body recover from the best experience of his life.\n\n...\n\nLater in the night, Chelsea and Kevin had reunited and were roaming the halls to find their favourite sheep. They had already roamed what seemed like half the school aimlessly with no signs of her. They decided to stop by the school's office, hoping Isaac was on a short break on the off chance he had seen her.\n\nThe pair entered the office quietly, in case there were still visitors inside, Chelsea taking the lead to knock on her father's office door. She was greeted with a tired but warm smile as her father looked down at her, \"Hey there sweetie, what brings you back here?\"\n\nChelsea couldn't help but smile at her father's warm tone, \"Just looking for Allie, have you seen her?\"\n\n\"Nope, sorry dear,\" the older bear said as he looked over to Kevin, \"Isn't bunny boy enough to keep you occupied though?\"\n\nChelsea blushed as her father made his vague sexual comment, \"Oh shut up dad!\"\n\nHe chuckled as he kept talking with his daughter, Kevin's attention however drifting as the vague insinuation brought up memories from just weeks ago.\n\n...\n\nKevin let out a low whimper as he lay against the carpeted floor of his principal's office, the gruff but passionate bear sliding his fingers along the inside of the rabbit's muzzle. His free paw had roamed down over the cub's erection, both males already having stripped down. \"I see my girls taught you well, didn't they?\" he asked as he removed his fingers from the rabbit's mouth, sliding them over the boy's pucker, before plunging the two digits in.\n\nKevin shook a little as he was continually felt up, the little sting from the bear's probing fingers causing him to grip the adult's arm in a supportive hug, \"Ahh, mhmm, th-they did!\"\n\nIsaac grinned triumphantly as he watched the boy melt into his embrace, the bear shifting a bit so his cock could lay over the rabbit's cheek, \"Have you ever wanted to suck a cock before Kevin?\"\n\nThe little white rabbit nodded enthusiastically as he looked over the sizable shaft, his tongue affectionately sliding into the bear's foreskin to drag along the inside of his length. \"It t-tastes really good Mr. Berkeley,\" Kevin said gently as he moved his muzzle down, fitting a couple inches of the hard cock into his mouth, \"I th-think I really do like boys too!\"\n\n\"Mmm,\" the principal groaned as he pushed a little more of his shaft down into the boy's throat, the rabbit's eyes looking up excitedly as he did his best to fight the odd gag reflex, \"You wanna be a good little cock sucker for your principal Kevin?\"\n\nHe could hear little gulps sound out under him as the rabbit swallowed down some of the bear's precum, the cub panting for breath when Isaac removed his shaft, a long line of saliva connecting his lips to the principal's cockhead. \"I wanna be a good cock slut for you!\" the rabbit groaned out obediently, using the words Chelsea had told him to. He remembered being curled up in her lap, pleasuring her orally as she explained all the ways to make her father happy.\n\nAll that information had been made useful now as he lay under his principal, the strong natured bear holding the cub's cheeks as he guided his length in and out of the rabbit's warm muzzle. Kevin sighed out in an anxious whisper as he was pushed back, Isaac burying his fingers deep inside the boy's rear. His young cock throbbed as a little bit of precum squirt out, the rabbit getting harder with each rough push into his backside. \"How does that feel Kevin?\" the bear asked in his deep, powerful voice.\n\n\"I-it feels really good!\" Kevin murmured out, squeaking suddenly as the bear's tongue trailed over his shaft, and up his chest to give his neck a little nip. \"Mr. B-Berkley...\" the bunny boy whimpered as the bear's tongue slide back down, his lips sucking on the cub's shaft for a moment.\n\n\"Please,\" his principal said as he got back up turning the other way to raise his rump up, \"Call me Isaac... you know what comes next, right Kevin?\"\n\nThe rabbit gulped as he nodded anxiously, already having been warned of this by Chelsea. \"Uh... Uh-huh...\" Kevin stuttered as he crawled up to the presented rump, his little nose sniffing at its musky scent. He wasn't totally taken aback by it, and his cock was still standing at attention.\n\nAfter a moment's hesitation, Isaac spread his cheeks apart, showing off his pucker as he growled, \"Well, what are you waiting for then?!\" The young rabbit let out the slightest little meep as he was rushed on by his principal, his lips slowly pressing against the warmth of the bear's backside. He let his tongue slowly slide against the ripple of flesh, allowing his taste buds time to adjust to the new flavour. He got used to it quite quickly and began to lap at a faster pace, finally working up enough courage to probe his tongue into the tender hole.\n\n\"Mmm that's nice!\" Isaac moaned out as he felt the smooth dampness of the rabbit's tongue plunge into him. Kevin kept pushing his tongue deeper into the bear's backside as he groaned out for him, a smooth \"There we go!\" escaping his lips. The rabbit sucked and slurped at the tight hole, circling his tongue around until it began to sink in deeper.\n\n\"Y'know I taught Chelsea how to do that,\" his principal murmured out, reaching back to push the rabbit's muzzle deeper, \"...and I like it nice and deep!\" Kevin pushed his tongue as far as it could go, forced to breathe through his nose as he pleased his principal. He reached his paws forward, stroking the bear's hard cock that lay over his chest. \"Mmm, that's nice!\" Isaac growled, reaching carefully to push his fingers back up the cub's tailhole. Kevin spread his legs to allow the invading paw easier access, Isaac's other paw reaching down to stroke his modest cubhood.\n\n\"Let's keep looking!\" Chelsea called out suddenly, Kevin jumping with a little twinge of shock as his friend snapped him back into reality. He nodded to Isaac with a little blush as the bear cub pulled his arm, the two shuffling off to continue their sheep hunt.\n\n...\n\nAs the night winded down, Isaac was in his office, a low comfortable murmur escaping his lips as he made out with the middle aged canine, his light coloured fur an almost pale purple, and his body firm, well taken care of, lined with masculine tattoos. Small sucks and slurps sounded out underneath as the canine's son Bradley held both their cocks, moving his muzzle back and forth between the two. Jason leaned into Isaac's ear whispering to him, \"Missed you stud, Bradley and I have been thinking of you quite a lot!\"\n\n\"Mmm, have you?\" he replied in a groan, pushing his muzzle against the canine's in a kiss, while at the same time Bradley worked his tongue into the bear's foreskin. Bradley sighed comfortably as he worked the shaft deeper into his muzzle, suckling tightly onto the musky shaft.\n\nJason let out a loving murmur as their kiss broke, fingers caressing the bear's back, \"Mmm, that was nice stud,\" his finger slid down suddenly, pressing gently against the bear's warm pucker, \"Mind if I put my tongue elsewhere?\"\n\nIsaac murred out as he stood a bit straighter, the younger cub still working his cock with his muzzle. \"Be my guest!\" he growled in a sultry tone, gripping Bradley's shoulders as the older canine knelled down on the floor behind the bear. He sniffed at the tight ring of flesh in front of him, groaning out as he sampled the clean yet musky details of his scent. His arms wrapped around the bear's waste as he buried himself face first, nestling into the furry cheeks.\n\nSlowly he began to slide his tongue around the tight flesh, pushing inward with expert precision. Isaac grunted as he felt the slick wetness sliding inside him, the canine clearly knowing what he was doing. \"God you have a nice ass!\" Jason moaned out in between licks, his lips pressing tightly against the bear's tight rear.\n\nAt the same time Bradley had swallowed down most of Isaac's shaft, gulping down precum and slurping at the shaft's surface, his eyes watering by the sheer size. \"I need to spend more time with you two!\" Isaac said, gently growling in pleasure as more salty pre slid out into the boy's mouth.\n\nJason was delicate and precise as he pushed his tongue up into the bear's ass, at the same time his son working his muzzle down almost too well on Isaac's cock. Isaac grunted as he gripped the wall, a menacing grin filling his face as he shot a partial load of cum down the pup's throat, \"Damn kiddo, almost made me blow it all!\"\n\nJason stopped quite suddenly as he withdrew from the bear's rear, panting and groaning as spurts of pre cum hit his legs, his knot thick and aching. \"Fuck, you're telling me, if I spend any more time on your backside I'm gonna blow!\" Jason sighed, wiping sweat from his forehead.\n\n\"Here daddy!\" Bradley called out to his father, stepping over to him and kneeling down, he sucked on the first few inches of his father's aching shaft, just enough so a small amount of his cum buildup could shoot down the boy's throat.\n\n\"Yeah, that's it kiddo, ease up the pressure!\" Jason moaned. As the two shared a little family time, Isaac stepped back over to his desk, grabbing a bottle of personal lubricant before returning.\n\nAs Bradley slurped down on his father's shaft the bear returned, already squirting a glob of lube onto his paws. The cub suddenly shuddered as the cool liquid made contact with his rear, Isaac gently slipping his fingers over the tight little tailhole. Bradley squeezed his father's legs with his paws, cuddling up to him for support as the bear's fingers slid in with a gentle little sting. \"Shhh, come on Bradley, be a good boy and relax your asshole for us\" his father whispered, petting his son's cheeks as he kept gulping down his hard length.\n\nIsaac growled out a deep moan as he finally slid two fingers deep into the boy's butt, the soft warm flesh hugging the smooth digits tightly. At the same time Isaac reached forward with his dry paw, squeezing the boy's balls gently as he saw Jason reached forward, stroking his son's cock. \"You like that Bradley?\" Isaac asked in a low hiss, his fingers thrusting hard against the boy's prostate.\n\n\"Yeah kiddo,\" Jason moaned as he watched his son suckle on his cocktip, pre spraying over his tongue, \"You want us to fuck you, don't you boy?!\"\n\nIsaac's paw left the cub's balls as he smacked his right butt cheek firmly, the cub whimpering a little before gasping as a third finger was slid into his pucker. He lifted his leg up as if to pee, letting all three fingers sink as deep as they could. The faster Isaac forced his fingers in, the more slobber would fall from the boy's lips onto his father's lap, the look on the cub's face one of true happiness as constant pre leaked from his smaller cock.\n\nJason laughed as he got up a bit, his cock dropping from his son's muzzle as he reached to pinch both the boy's nipples, he fell to his side in submission, tears welling up in his little eyes as his chubby stomach shook, the bear literally finger fucking him. Bradley cried out in a high yip as he was engulfed in somewhat painful stimulation, howling out \"Ahh, Please, f-fuck me, fuck me, fuck me!\"\n\nHe was quieted suddenly by his father's lips, Jason burying his tongue into his son's muzzle as Isaac slid his fingers back out, quickly opening the bottle again to lather his prick in lube. The incestual pair kept kissing, even as Isaac began to shove the first inch of his stiff prick into the overly inviting backside. Bradley fell back into a missionary position as the bear slid a good half of his length in, his young body stinging, shaking, and tingling all at once. He moaned out with a tone of lust and need as his father moved his lips away, the older canine turning to lift his tail up before kneeling back down in a squat, \"So proud of my little slut, eat daddy's ass!\"\n\nThe puppy murmured out an unheard response as his father's warm, somewhat musky rear hovered over him. Leaning up just a little so he could run his tongue along it. Its scent was clean but manly, each detail intimate and strong, lighting the puppy's passions ablaze. His little licks quickly became furious laps as slowly he edged his tongue up into his father's ass, sliding it around as it probed in and out.\n\nIn tandem with Jason's actions, Isaac had begun to slide in and out of the pup's tight ass, holding the boy by both legs as he buried himself in deep. He had been with Bradley multiple times and knew the cub's limits. Despite how deep and hard the bear was going, the cub experienced no pain or trauma, the silent rhythms of his body allowing the cock inside him as much as his body would tolerate.\n\nBradley smooched and slobbered at his father's pucker as he took pound after pound from the principal's prick, his own cock aching hard as he serviced the two older men. \"God you're so good at that!\" Jason moaned as his son sensually slid his tongue along his backside, the damp tickle keeping him hard and enticed.\n\nThe wonderful display and constant warm, tightness around his shaft pushed Isaac off the edge, his paws gripping the boy as he roared out, \"Get ready Bradley!\" The boy nodded as he continued giving his dad's rump gentle kisses, a squeak escaping him as Isaac slammed in, bursting a heavy load of cum inside him. Jason go to his feet as he heard Isaac's grunting, all the telltale signs of a cumshot easily audible. As he got up, his son gave his balls a quick lick, clearly sad his rim time was over.\n\nBradley flopped over onto his stomach panting, poetically posed in a doggy-style position as he reeled from the orgasmic twinges in his body. As his father crept towards him, he reached back with both paws, spreading his cheeks apart so his cum dripping tailhole was on display. Jason growled a deep murr as he gripped his hard cock, rubbing it against the pool of bear cum until it was slick and sticky, moaning as he pushed the tip into his son's abused hole, \"God I love sloppy seconds!\"\n\nBradley simply murmured inaudibly as he let his father slide into him, sighing out happily as he felt the canine's knot smack against his aching hole, the older canine thrusting wildly into his son. Jason grinned to Isaac as he rolled on over in his desk chair, sitting beside the pair as he enjoyed the show. Jason leaned over as he kept fucking his pup, giving the bear's balls a firm suck, \"Did my boy do a good job for you Mr. Berkley?\"\n\n\"He did!\" the bear smiled as he pet the dog's chin.\n\nThe canine's grin was wider as he confirmed how pleased the boy's principal was, his right leg raising up as he humped his son harder. His breath was tight and staggered as he hammered his cock wildly against his son's prostate, a gleam in his eyes as he growled out, \"Ready for daddy's knot?!\"\n\nThe pup cried out as his father thrust into him so relentlessly, the thick bulb of flesh pressing against his plump ass, \"I-I'm ready dad!\" He whimpered out again as his father nipped his ear, tongue sliding down the side of his face before he began to suck on the boy's neck. Isaac grumbled out an appreciated mumble as he watched the father take his son with such passion, the dynamic reminding him of himself with his own daughter.\n\nIt didn't take long for the older canine to deliver as promised, a few more smacks all it took to hammer his orgasm home, a few shots of cum joining the pool of bear seed just before the knot forced its way in. Bradley cried out as his pucker was stretched uncomfortably wide, a rough sting emanating from his rear as a dull fullness welled up in his gut. \"God you're tight boy!\" Jason spoke as he sucked on the pup's neck, awkwardly positioning his legs so he could face the bear, the dog's facing away from each other as Jason fully locked in.\n\nIsaac grinned as he looked down at the father in his afterglow, stepping over to scritch behind his ears. \"Mmm y'know Mr. Berkley,\" Jason said as he kissed the bear's finger, \"You should really take my ass sometime... I don't usually submit to anyone, but a fine specimen such as yourself...\"\n\n\"Shh!\" Isaac said as he reached his paws back, fingering the older canine's pucker as he pulled on his knot, causing Bradley to whine out uncomfortably until a loud pop and squishing sound of escaping cum told him that the boy was free. \"My wife will be back soon, and so will my daughter... now you two run along home and treat each other really good, then tomorrow I'll give you another treat Bradley,\" the boy nodded, \"...and next time you are free Mr. Oaks, I'll eat your son's ass while I tear yours in half!\"\n\nJason shivered as he took in the principal's words, the parent silently getting to his feet as he gather his clothes. Isaac looked away as he enjoyed the triumph of such a dominate stance, his ears flickering as he heard Jason whisper, the statement to his son a fitting end to the night, \"Be good and listen to your principal Bradley, he's a good man, if he ever needs you to do anything for him, you do it!\"\n\nBradley giggled as he kissed his father on the lips, \"As if you could stop me!\"" } ]

He had a job working customer service at a call center that he didn't utterly hate; he had an apartment and was saving up for a house. He had a queen size bed all to himself right now, but it was ready in case he got a wife. All in all, he really wasn't bad off. Heck, he even was free from illness and such as a general rule. Needless to say, this is why he was beyond the \"growing\" point of \"growing concerned\" over his recent issues and well into the \"concerned\" part.\n\nHe had been sleeping badly. Well, not precisely sleeping badly. He had been having odd dreams that woke him up, for lack of a better description. It was costing him sleep nightly. He couldn't call them BAD dreams, either, just odd.\n\nThe problem started slowly, just hazy visions at first, nothing really to wake him up. They caused interesting memories of themselves, but otherwise were fine. Then the dreams began to grow more vivid and more realistic. They were never really enough to wake him fully, just to make him toss and turn in fitfulness and thereby lose sleep.\n\nHis days at work were getting to feel much longer. His days in general weren't doing much better. The interruptions in his sleep had been costing him, making him more exhausted by the day. He felt as if he was seeing shadows of things on occasion. People - or something - moving out of the corner of his eye. But when he snapped up and looked, nothing there at all.\n\nHe had tried treating it with over the counter sleep aids, herbal remedies, and just about everything else he could do for himself, but to no avail. He went to bed just a bit earlier; 9 pm this eve, hoping to get some extra shuteye. But things went as always from recent times.\n\nHe heard a somewhat-female voice saying goodnight, though apparently not to him. After all, he was already asleep! Then weight on the bed, followed by a body lying beside him. A bit of a tug on the covers, and he woke up with a start. He felt the bed beside himself just briefly. Nothing there. The covers felt the same as when he had gone to bed. It was that damn dream again.\n\nHe sighed and relaxed again, working to get back to sleep. It was always similar. Voices in his apartment, people lying on his bed while he was asleep. Well, perhaps you could say they were people. Seemed to have a bit more body hair, or wore a fur coat. Hard to tell in a dream, though.\n\nHalfway back to sleep, he felt something brush against his cheek, startling him awake again. This time he sat up and looked around, but still found nothing. With a sigh, he laid back down to sleep. He was vaguely aware of voices as he was drifting off... \\~He reacted? How odd. Well, that does happen sometimes. Don't worry about it too much. Rest well.\\~\n\nThe next day went much like the previous few weeks. Feeling half-awake, half-dazed. He woke with a start when something brushed past his back suddenly, but of course there was nothing there. He would have to consider getting some professional help for this. He glanced sharply at a shadow moving in the corner of his vision... nothing. Yes, he would make an appointment tomorrow.\n\nThe homeward drive was so bad that it almost made him consider calling for a ride. He was seeing things that weren't there... hallucinations from tiredness? But he still felt the need to not hit them with his vehicle, which put him into some near scrapes with others. He managed to get home safely, but exhausted.\n\nFeeling far too tired to want to make dinner, he decided that he would end up calling in to work tomorrow. No, wait... today was Friday... No work tomorrow. Bah. Sleep. Sleep was good. He stripped off his clothes with a bit of difficulty, and did something that he had not done in ages: Fell asleep at 7 pm.\n\nHad he been more aware of things, and less zonked out, he would have found it interesting that though he went to bed sooner, the disturbance didn't start until around the same time as usual: around 10 pm. The voices again, though he could not make them out fully, other than that they didn't seem fully English in dialect, yet he could understand them well enough. Then the weight on his bed, and an obviously fur-covered hand stroked his forehead. Whatever it was in the dream got under covers with him and snuggled up against his side. Yes, definitely covered in fur.\n\nHe awoke with a start, immediately trying to think of a proper string of half-muttered half-obscenities in his drowsed state. He suddenly froze, fully awake, and very much aware of the warm, furred body pressed against his side, an arm draped across his. He leapt out of bed in a panic, stumbling over the blankets that were dragged with him and taking a spill. Hand on the windowsill, he hefted himself up and looked over at the bed. From the dim glow through the blinds, he saw something sitting up in his bed, two eyes glowing with reflected light. They eyes blinked out a few times as they looked at him, but the creature made no move.\n\nShielding himself somewhat with the blankets that he dragged off the bed, he backed away a little. \"Who are you? What are you? What are you doing in my bed dammit?!\" he demanded in a hissed voice.\n\nThis caught the creature's attention apparently, as it responded quite plainly and distinctly in a vaguely female-seeming voice: \"HOLY SHIT!!\" In a flash it was off his bed, running on four legs out his bedroom door, shouting something that he couldn't completely make out. His blood chilled as it was answered by at least two other voices, obviously from within his apartment.\n\nHe scrambled back over his bed, trying to find both a bathrobe and his aluminum flashlight. The latter would be good for both illuminating the situation as well as whacking things if need be. He managed to drag the robe over his shoulders at least as he heard voices approaching the bedroom door.\n\n\"Calm down, this doesn't help matters,\" murmured one.\n\n\"Okay, are you CERTAIN he saw you and not something else?\" asked another.\n\nHe aimed the light towards the door and hit the switch to illuminate a perfectly framed trio in the doorway. A trio of... Well... Animal people. Something that looked vaguely canine, maybe a coyote or something, was on one side of a red fox, and a wildcat-spotted feline was on the other side. They were definitely animals, right down to the shape of their legs and their complete lack of clothing, though the cat had a pouch tied to its waist.\n\n\"What the hell is going on?!\" he demanded, prompting all three of them to look up at him in sudden surprise, then look BEHIND themselves questingly, as if somebody else was standing there. \"You... you... fox thing... and cat! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!\" he demanded again, close to hysteria.\n\n\"Oh... crap,\" muttered the feline eloquently. \"Um, I'll go get help.\" With a spin, the cat dropped out of sight past the doorway.\n\nHe was about to shout again when the fox suddenly wailed, \"This is all my fault, isn't it, Farren? I screwed something up, didn't I?!\" She burst into what seemed like tears, dropping down to her haunches, whimpering and whining quite avidly.\n\nThe canine-like creature to her right... Well, he had decided the fox was a 'her' based on the \"voice\" and the lack of apparent male genetalia, though there were no breasts either... glanced at him briefly, then promptly went down to its own haunches beside her. \"No, no, come on, snap out of it. Selkine, listen to me, there is no way you could have done this. There's no way this could be your fault. Can't you see? He's as frightened and confused as you are. Come on, drag yourself together!\" He decided that this creature was potentially female also.\n\n\"DAMNIT, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!\" he shouted, for he was indeed quite along the line of panic. \"Somebody just give me some goddamn answers!\" His voice was edging on hysteria.\n\n\"Calm down,\" the canine said to him. \"You don't want to wake up your neighbors.\" She stood up and took a step towards him, holding out a hand. \"Just please, calm down, this panic won't do anybody any good.\"\n\n\"STAY AWAY!!\" he screamed, and threw the flashlight straight at her head. This was a move he had practiced quite a lot in fact. The impact power of four D-cell batteries in the aluminum frame was pretty substantial, and generally enough to keep any attacker at bay.\n\nHowever, in this case, things weren't quite what the flashlight expected. No canine skull was there for it to crack against, just straight through the creature as if she weren't there at all. Sadly, the doorframe was not as lucky and took quite a dent from the impact. The flashlight fell to the floor, rolling slightly on the carpet, leaving the canine backlit and Jack staring in shock. \"You're not real...\" he muttered, then suddenly bolted straight towards the canine, fist swinging hard at what he expected to be open air.\n\nThat point brought his second surprise. Her paw came up suddenly, palm open and fingers splayed, and his fist was caught and held in a vice-like grip. Not painfully tight, but not giving. He flailed with his other hand, and this wrist was also caught, then he was spun around and put into a lock hold.\n\n\"Really, you do need to calm down,\" murmured the canine in his ear, her body pressed close to his back as she rearranged her grip.\n\nThe voice of the cat returned, \"I'm back! Holy... What the hell happened? Never mind. I've got help, but the police are also here. This could get messy.\" He decided that the cat was also female, though the voice was much more husky. Either that, or they all just sounded female.\n\n\"Don't worry too much,\" said a new voice. \"I'll take care of things as best as I can. Use him to open his bedroom window. Quickly now.\" Huh... Yes, this voice was definitely male.\n\nHe felt himself being hustled by the canine, though not cruelly, to his bedroom window. The cat came along, and grabbed one of his hands from one side, while the canine grabbed the other, and placed them on the window. The next thing that helped confuse him was the fact he could no longer see his own hands, or arms, or anything else of himself for that matter.\n\n\"Lift, open the window!\" hissed the cat. Her fingers curled around his and hooked them under the window frame, pulling up on it with his fingertips. They slipped at first. \"Come on, cooperate, or there'll be more trouble, and not from us,\" she exclaimed, exasperated. He regained his grip and tugged the window up with their guidance. Outside he could see several police cars in the parking lot of the complex, lights flashing. Then he heard a loud banging at the door.\n\n\"Push the screen out,\" commanded the newest voice. \"I have a glamour ready.\"\n\nThe cat and canine moved his hands again, and he cooperated, placing his palms against the edges of the screen frame and pushing until it cracked and popped out. The noise immediately attracted the attention of several of the officers outside, and flashlights were quickly directed his way. Then he was shoved aside from behind, and a dark shape that he could really only half-see leaped out the window onto the rocks just outside, and took off to the right, away from the police, who shouted and promptly gave chase.\n\n\"Back over here,\" said the new voice, whose owner he had not yet seen. \"Near the light!\" He was aware of the heavy boots of police officers outside by the window as he was dragged back by the cat and canine. \"I'm very sorry to have to do this...\" said the voice, close to his ear. Then something hit him hard across the back of the head, and he nearly blacked out, being lowered to settle on the ground carefully by the two holding him just before lights came in the window, quickly followed by officers with drawn guns.\n\nHe moaned, dizzy as all get go, trying to get back to his feet and unable to see clearly. \"Over here!\" one of the officers shouted, moving to his side while two more went past into the rest of the apartment.\n\nHe, however, was just upset about the pain in his head. His vision was starting to clear up somewhat at least. He felt a warm hand suddenly cupping the back of his head where he had been conked, and the pain began to fade as a voice whispered in his ear, \"Now, pay attention. They cannot see us. They cannot touch us. At all. If you speak of us, you will be dragged off as insane. You need to tell them that somebody was in your house. You threw the flashlight at them and missed, then they grabbed it and whacked you before going out the window.\"\n\nHe blinked a few times... No pain anymore, but less sense in his mind than he would like. He wanted to scream and cry, but he felt strangely calm. He gave a glazed look at the officer beside him and his eyes widened for a moment as the spotted cat crouched down there too, halfway inside the officer. \"Don't worry,\" she murmured, \"You can do this.\"\n\n\"Are you alright? Are you the resident here?\" asked the officer. He nodded numbly and mumbled an affirmative, then something about somebody in his house. He groaned and winced, touching the back of the paw that was against his head as the pain returned for a split second.\n\n\"Stay still,\" the officer insisted. \"It looks like you got hit on the back of the head.\" The officer looked up at one of the other officers outside the window, \"Call in a 907N.\" The officer then returned his attention to him. \"Just lay down, we're getting help.\"\n\nHe lay down on his side, now really more confused than anything. His mind was fuddled from a lack of sleep as well as the recent events, so everything was quite a blur. He vaguely heard officers discussing the situation, snippets of conversation and radio calls. Apparently whoever had run had not been caught. They had let other officers in the front door as well. Soon paramedics were there and checking him out, then putting him on a gurney.\n\nAs he was being wheeled out, he heard his neighbor talking. \"Yeah, I know he hasn't been sleeping well. But I heard him shouting, and then a loud thump against the building. That's why I called you guys. Then some more shouting. Crap, is he gonna be okay?\" He was shortly out of range of that conversation.\n\nHe tried to bring some sense to his fuddled synapses as he saw the back end of an ambulance at the top of his somewhat blurred vision. However a furry face suddenly made its way into his line of sight. Gray, canine... a wolf. \"Rest now,\" the wolf murmured to him. He recognized the voice as the unidentified one giving orders in the apartment.\n\nJack opened his mouth to object and complain, but the wolf pressed his muzzle against Jack's lips and blew softly. Jack felt a lightheadedness creep over him before he could utter a thing, and felt himself beginning to drift to sleep as he was loaded into the ambulance. His head lolled to the right, and the last thing he saw was a paramedic sitting on the bench, and the faces of the cat and the fox looking at him. The ambulance began to move, and the faces didn't, left behind as if they were standing on the ground beneath it. But that was all he remembered before he fell asleep.\n\nRecommended Next Steps\n\nIf you enjoyed the story, please feel encouraged to comment below, fave the story, and vote on it.

Well, he enjoyed his lot actually, living with his sister in a quiet place, but sometimes he just wanted to walk and walk and never look back. So he did.\n\nTall, but not too tall. Slim, but with a bit of a belly. All and all, he was somewhat average to the eye. Most of his fur was brown, red when in the right light but now on this overcast day, most definitely brown. The brown fur yielded to black at all four of his paws, just above the elbow or knee, his muzzle, and the ears. Still, he was average, save the scars on his face. Technically, one scar starting on the right side, and then spread in to two on the left half of his muzzle. He liked the scars. They made him interesting.\n\n\"And it will get there by two nights, right?\" Exilo asked, giving the letter to the messenger hawk.\n\n\"Yes sir!\" the hawk replied, moving a wing over his eye in a salute. \"I will be there ASAP. Come wind nor rain nor snow nor shine, nothing will stop me from delivering this letter. Come hell or high water, I will get this letter to its destination as soon as possible. That's what ASAP means. It means-\"\n\n\"Now, please,\" Exilo said.\n\n\"Yes sir!\" The bird flapped his wings, kicking up a gust from the sandy streets. Exilo growled, annoyed, and covered his eyes to block out the dusty assault. Stupid birds.\n\nHe had no real destination. Maybe he would go back to his homeland, meet other wolves, maybe some of his father's family; go back to where ever the hell his mother was from and see if she had any kin there. This city was just a place to rest since he was sick of camping and wanted a nice bed if just for one night. And after that bird, he wanted a bath. A nice warm bath instead of washing in the river, but business was first: he had promised to write to his sister every chance he got. And now with the letter in the air, he set off to restock on supplies. First stop: the tailor.\n\n\"Is this the biggest size you have?\" he asked. \"Anything that might fit me?\"\n\nThis land was cold and Exilo wanted a jacket, especially if he backtracked to the East and headed up North, he would definitely need something to keep him nice and toasty.\n\n\"Well,\" the she-wolf mused, scratching her chin and mentally taking in the male's measurements. The wolf was quite short, even for a female, but a nice size, so she clearly wasn't sickly. She had white fur and a black ring around her right eye, not quite touching her eye, but circling around it. Her right ear had three piercings, three silver rings that were aligned on the edge. Clothing was a black shirt with a small red â€˜X' in the middle of the chest, and her belly was uncovered so he had to smile and lick his lips. Sad to say, she had pants on: black shorts that went down to her knees and a silver chain for a belt. It was when she wagged her tail that he saw the silver tail ring, squeezing the bulky fur a bit before the tip. \"No.\"\n\nExilo sighed.\n\n\"But I could make you something up if you like, sir.\"\n\nThe male wolf reached into his vest pockets and fished out the few coins he still had to his name. \"How much would it cost?\"\n\nThe tailor nosed at the coins in his palm and shook her head. \"More than that.\"\n\nAnd he hadn't even bought his rations yet. \"Well, thanks anyway.\" Exilo turned to leave.\n\n\"Hey, big guy,\" the tailor called. \"Would you be interested in a job?\"\n\n\"No, thank you. There is no way I could do this work.\"\n\n\"I wouldn't expect you to do the tailoring. I just find myself in need of a second pair of paws.\" She cocked her head to the side, taking in his measurements again. \"I'm understaffed. I could use some aid. I can give you room and board and make up your clothes as payment. Even if you don't want a jacket, the things you have on look as if they are coming apart at the stitches.\"\n\nExilo looked down. His clothes were tattered. Scrapes and scratches on his pants and his shirt from a variety of fights he had been in littered his apparel. Some highwayman thought him easy prey or sometimes a street fighter for whatever money spectators would throw. Why was he still wearing his knuckle duster? He pulled it off his hand and dropped it back in his vest's pocket. The vest may have been old, tattered, and cut, but he would never ever part with it.\n\n\"It's a good deal, big man. And I could really use the help.\"\n\nIt was a good deal, and Exilo needed to conserve his remaining funds. He needed clothes and someplace to sleep. \"Is this going to end with me chopped into pieces and buried in your basement?\"\n\n\"No.\"\n\n\"Alright, I'll take it.\"\n\n\"Wonderful!\" the she wolf squealed. She took Exilo's paw and began dragging him along towards the back of the shop. Exilo kept having to duck under every door way or low hanging lantern. Yes, his size was definitely a problem now. The she-wolf seemed to pay no heed to his difficulties, and scurried along.\n\n\"I'm Exilo,\" he added, realizing he hadn't introduced himself formally.\n\n\"Pae,\" the she-wolf responded.\n\n\"Pae? That's an odd name.\"\n\n\"Yeah, cause we just got a million Exilos. Sounds Russian. I'll just call you Exi.\"\n\n\"My name is Exilo.\"\n\n\"And I'm going to call you Exi, Exi!\"\n\nExilo sighed. He was far too tired for this. \"Where's my room?\"\n\nPae huffed. \"Fine, you can stay here.\"\n\nExilo stepped past her, and inside. It was nice room actually; somehow he had been expecting a broom closet with a blanket. It had a desk, a chair, a bed, a lamp, and a window that looked out into the town. There was a notable covering of dust and the door hinges squealed from lack of use, but he didn't say anything. \"You're old employee's room?\" Exilo asked.\n\n\"Sorry for the dust.\"\n\nExilo shrugged. He had certainly slept in worse.\n\n\"I've been meaning to clean it up and rent it out. This way I get an apprentice. It's been long enough.\"\n\nExilo smiled, nodded, and watched Pae leave, taking special note of her tail as she turned and headed down the hall. The bed was a big, bigger than his sleeping mat actually. Soft down cushioned his rump and he yawned sleepily. Wow. He was more tired than he realized. He had down a lot of walking, a lot of sleeping on rocks. He really was tired, so tired, that he didn't even think of asking Pae where the bathroom was so he could wash his fur clean.\n\n\"You best be getting some sleep,\" the she-wolf said. \"Cause tomorrow, I'm putting you to work.\"\n\nExilo yawned again, slouching down and putting his head on his shoulder. \"Alright,\" he growled, closing his eyes.\n\n---\n\nWork wasn't the right word for what Exilo went through the next day. Torture was more like it. He had done a lot in his life, worked a lot of places, but this just wasn't work.\n\n\"For the last time, this is how you do stitches!\" Pae growled. Dexterous fingers looped through the fabric with expert precision. In, out, in, out, hypnotic in the speed. When done, she tied it off and pulled the excess thread a bit, snapping it cut with her teeth.\n\nExilo took a deep breath and turned to his own project. \"In, out, in, out,\" he muttered. He tried, in, out, in, out. He yelped suddenly, and lifted his thumb to better see the needle that had sunk nearly half way into the pad.\n\nPae growled again, plucking the needle out. \"You're such a baby.\" She poked her own thumb a dozen times with the needle, and each time the pad stayed firm. Taking her demonstration a step further, she pulled a lighter out of her pants pocket. Sparking it, she held her thumb over the dancing fire. \"Cool, huh?\"\n\n\"Kind of creepy, actually.\"\n\nExilo looked back to his work. He took another deep breath and pinched the fabric, pushing the needle through. He was much more careful this time, taking the needle and pulling it through, working a stitch out. He tried for the second stitch, and pricked his thumb, drawing blood in the black pad. \"Damn it!\" he roared, earning a bop on the nose from the rolled up newspaper Pae was holding.\n\n\"Keep working on it,\" she muttered. Exilo did, putting such focus on the project, he didn't even notice as Pae left, coming back a moment later with a step stool. Her trusty tape measure wrapped around his chest, on the pectorals. She scribbled the measurements on a scratch of parchment. \"Now your right arm. Now your left.\"\n\nExilo obeyed each of her commands, and smiled to himself when he managed to get the stitches straight three times before, again, pricking his finger. His thumb was really starting to hurt. Pae looked him over. With the measurements, she could do his shirt just fine. But not his pants. Not that he said he wanted pants, but...She grinned a sort of coy smile and lowered onto all fours, before very carefully slipping under the table.\n\nNow under him, kneeling at his chair, she placed a paw on his knee and carefully pulled the tape measure from his clawed toes all the way to his groin, pushing a thumb between his legs playfully. That earned a sudden shout. Exilo pushed off the table, the chair tipping over and he fell back, landing with a loud crash.\n\n\"Now, Exi, if you're going to be a tailor, you got to learn to ignore these distractions.\"\n\nExilo panted, and started at the white she-wolf, her tail wagging. She was still on all fours and under the table like a devious puppy. \"Stay the fuck away from my crotch!\"\n\nHe growled, reaching under the table and grabbing her by the nape. He yanked her out and set her down, before pulling the chair close and continuing his work. More than the job he was supposed to be doing, it was just frustrating he couldn't get this quickly, like he could other things. This and cooking...he hated cooking.\n\nThis cloth wouldn't be usable after he was through with it. Even if the stitches were straight and orderly, he was getting blood all over it: crimson thumb prints or just wiping his hand on it to keep his grip dry. Why was the practice cloth white, anyway? Well, red now, but still.\n\n\"Have a preference of color for the coat?\"\n\n\"Asparagus.\"\n\n\"What the fuck color is asparagus?\"\n\nExilo cocked his head, gesturing to his vest.\n\n\"That is a fuck ugly color. You're getting myrtle.\" Satisfied, Pae scribbled the order down, before again reaching over and plucking a needle out of Exilo's paw. \"Alright, that's enough for today. I need your hands intact for when we open.\"\n\nIt wasn't hard work, physically at least. Oh, what he would give for physical labor. He was built for that, he liked that. This was just torturous. But so was everything else the little deviant Pae put him through. People came in to pick up their orders, and he had to sift through the racks and racks of finished products to find said orders. People came in wanting their measurements taken, and some, little ones especially, just refused to hold still long enough for him to read the tape measurer and write the number down.\n\n\"How did you ever manage this all alone?\" Exilo asked, during one of the blessed down times where the shop was empty. It was strange. Everybody, EVERYBODY, seemed to come in at once, and then just as quickly they were gone. Why everyone couldn't come in at a steady pace was beyond him. No rhyme or reason even, like people on their lunch break. Just floods, and then nothing. Floods, then nothing.\n\nHe gave a moan, lying on the floor behind the counter. His paws were throbbing from the prior work, and his head was feeling several sizes too small. And, for whatever reason, Pae was sitting on his chest, cross legged and staring at him with a wide smile. There was only a bit of trouble with breathing. Mostly she was light and he could manage.\n\nPae shrugged. \"I just did. I didn't have a choice.\"\n\n\"I'm sorry I can't help more.\"\n\nThe she-wolf shook her head. \"You're doing plenty.\"\n\nHe watched her. Her ears, her tail, her chest. He liked the angle. She was pretty. Nice fur, nice body, certainly a nice chest and rump. Her earrings he could do without, but to each their own. He was taken off guard when she shifted onto her paws and knees and leaned forward, brushing her muzzle across his. On the second pass, her tongue came out, rough and hard, and brushed his lips. The bell above the door rang. Pae casually stood up and walked around the counter to greet the customers, leaving Exilo wondering what had just happened. The cool air of the room lapped at the saliva still on his snout and lips. He flicked out his own tongue and tasted her remnants. \"Exi, I do need your help,\" Pae summoned. He stood, leaning on the counter. There was work to do. Best not to think about it, at least until he had more time to really savor the memory.\n\nThe second day went like the first, only worse since his mind was so exhausted from the first day, but at least Pae didn't make any more moves on him. Was that a good thing or a bad thing? He wasn't sure.\n\nThe third day went like the second, only even more tiring since his mind was so exhausted from the first and second day, and Pae still didn't make any more moves on him. Well, this time, he made the move, and when she was reaching for something on a high shelf, he carefully moved behind her and took it down. She didn't seem repulsed by the sudden closeness. Her tail curled around his thigh and flanks a moment and she looked up, smiling, before slipping to the side and walking back to her work.\n\nOn the fourth day, he finally developed a short hand for taking measurements, and learned Pae's shorthand for giving receipts, which made finding orders much easier. Turns out there was some semblance of organization to the racks.\n\nOn the sixth day, he stabbed his thumb with a needle and didn't draw blood. Fire still hurt. He had learned that the hard way, when Pae grabbed his hand and put a lighter under him. Pae promised that the callus would grow in time.\n\nOn the seventh day, the shop was closed and Exilo spent the whole morning face down on the bed, head buried into the pillow, not sleeping but not able to move either. Only at night fall did he even try to get up. He managed to shift his head to the door to see Pae standing there.\n\n\"How long have you been there?\"\n\nShe grinned, and gave a nice little shrug of her petite shoulders, which made her chest heave very slightly.\n\n\"Is it normal to feel like you head is several sizes too small?\" Exilo asked.\n\n\"Something would be wrong if you didn't feel like an elephant was sitting on it,\" Pae smiled, walking over. She was smiling wide, at least until her nose quivered. She retracted, pinching her nose. \"You smell. Damn, when was the last time you took a bath?\"\n\n\"What year is this?\"\n\nPae whined, backing away. \"I'll draw you a bath, alright. Do me a favor: burn those clothes.\"\n\nHe hadn't taken a bath in so long. Brushing a hand past his ears, he found the bits of sand still clinging from the messenger hawk's take off a week ago. Exilo struggled to get up. His body wasn't tired, but his mind, it just refused to send out the messages out to his limbs. It took him a long time to peel his shirt off of his chest, and he sniffed it, before pushing it away. He did smell. He undid his belt and dropped it to the floor, stepping out of them. Then, in true canine fashion and now unrestricted by clothes, he bent over to all fours and stretched doggie style. It was at that moment that Pae came back into the room. Exilo's elevated tail was facing the door, in all its glory. He looked between his legs at Pae, who just stared back at the curve of his flanks, the sack of his furry sheath, the hanging testicles. \"And I thought I was forward,\" she managed to say, keeping a perfectly straight face before falling onto her back and laughing hysterically.\n\n\"Do closed doors not mean anything to you people?\" Exilo howled.\n\nThrough cackles, Pae managed: \"You didn't close the door. Please...\" She stopped, rolling onto her belly and pounding the floor. \"Please, put on the towel!\"Somehow, Pae managed to throw the towel to the ground in front of Exilo's feet.\n\nExilo huffed, wrapping the towel as best he could around his nether regions. It was still a bit small, but at least Pae stopped laughing out loud, only giggling and grinning every time he looked up at Exilo, who was blushing red under his fur. \"It could be worse. Some bears come in every now and then from the North, and they don't have such fine builds as you. Don't wear many clothes either. Yuck, that furry ass in a thong.\" Pae traced a paw over Exilo's stomach.\n\nPae brought Exilo to the bathroom, where a steaming bath was already drawn. Cracking up, she turned her back and allowed Exilo to take the towel off and climb into the bath. The tub was huge, so huge that Exilo could fully immerse himself without any problem, which felt absolutely heavenly.\n\nOH! That felt nice. Instantly he loosened as the water soaked deep into his fur. He growled lowly, sending a vibration through the water. He was so relaxed it took him a moment to realize not only had Pae stripped out of her clothes, but climbed into the bath, and that she was snuggling close, trying to wrap her arms around Exilo's torso and putting her ear on the wolf's left pectoral muscle.\n\nExilo opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out, save a long stifled growl that Pae took as invitation to come closer, shifting so she was resting heavily on Exilo's chest. He froze instantly. As she continued to nuzzle him. \"Is something wrong?\" Pae asked. Maybe she could sense Exilo's hesitance. He was stiff and rigged despite the warm water's comforting effect on him.\n\n\"No,\" Exilo said after a pause.\n\nPae backed away. She placed her paws on his chest and pushed up, settling on his hips and staring at him. \"Oh no. I'm so sorry. I thought...oh no. Oh, I'm so sorry.\" She stumbled out of the bath, slapping down on the floor wetly and slipping flat on her stomach. \"Oh no, this is so embarrassing. I'm so sorry. I thought you liked me. Oh jeez.\"\n\n\"I-I do,\" Exilo said quickly, climbing out of the tub himself. He slipped on the wet floor and hit the ground. Reaching for Pae, who was already moving, he just brushed her tail as she fled.\n\n\"I'm sorry. Oh no, I'm so sorry.\" She turned to apologize again, only to come face to chest with Exilo. \"I'm so sorry,\" she said, looking up. There was wetness in her eyes, not all of it from the bath.\n\nExilo brought Pae up to his arms, holding her in a wet embrace. \"I...do...like you. I-I think. I'm not sure. But...I...\"\n\n\"I went too fast. Damn it. It's just...I don't know what to do and I thought you liked me. And? Oh no.\" She buried her face in his chest.\n\n\"Really, it's not you.\" She was light. Easy to hold. His paw slipped down her back and over her tail, gently brushing her rump and getting a nice grip. He felt her tail wag, the silver band at the end glistening nicely in the light. He smiled softly and turned back to the bath. He swung one foot in, then squatted, slipping into the warm water, sitting up and still holding Pae close. She, in turn, clung a little closer to his wet chest. She was warm actually. Warmer than the water, and very pleasant.\n\nHe swallowed. \"There's really, really attraction. I mean. You're really beautiful. And...That kiss. It felt kind of...\"\n\nJust do it, Pae thought, slowly pressing her muzzle forward towards his. The briefest of licks, then she backed up, whimpering lowly.\n\nAgain, there was the taste of her lips on his. He flicked out his tongue, tasting what she had left. Slowly, almost as if frightened, he stretched his paw forward to touch her, and his claw brushed her shoulder. She recoiled in fear, but he got a firm grip and slowly pulled her near, and gave her his own lick on the lips. She didn't recoil or back away. She closed her eyes, and he did his, and they simply tasted each other, getting used to it.\n\nHe felt his heat begin to press out from between his legs. At first he didn't notice. He was so focused on Pae he barely felt anything. His paws explored her body, claws sifting through the white fur and finding her breast, giving it a little squeeze that earned him a soft moan. But when the certain heat between his legs rose to a painful ache he gave a slight groan, turning his head to the side and nibbling at her jaws at a better angle. He distracted her as his paw slowly moved down her spine and to the base of her tail, and gently pushed her down.\n\n\"Nnn!\" She shuddered as she felt him enter, forcing her body to try to relax. She attempted to move off him, but his paw remained firm, and she was trapped between it and his rising heat. \"S-stop.\" \"Just relax,\" he said slowly, the words dripping out of his mouth and into her ear. \"Rrr...rrr...\" More and more she could feel him fill her, a mixture of pain and pleasure, but the pain was making itself more known. She nudged her hips to the side, fresh tears pouring out of her eyes. \"Please, stop...\"\n\nShe was tight, she couldn't loosen. She whimpered and cried into his chest, not in pleasure. He had to stop, despite the ache that demanded action. He pressed his muzzle to hers, licking and nuzzling, suckling and kissing. It helped. She felt herself relax, and she closed her eyes and let him calm her with his softness of his tongue. His tongue explored, his snout explored, but his eyes were tight and his vision was dead. Only her scent and taste. That was all he could focus on. Nothing else and he just enjoyed her, not even bothering to thrust.\n\nPae started yipping happily, rubbing her fangs against his, her tongue tasting his, and now that he wasn't delving so intensely, that hot thickness between her legs became pleasurable. She pulled back. \"A-alright. I'm ready.\"\n\nShe licked and kissed along his muzzle, but if she whimpered or nipped hard it was a sign she needed to adjust. Still, it went well, with few interruption or breaks. And, finally, he was all the way in. He felt his hilt touch her flesh lips. He pulled away from her jaws and just held that, closing his eyes and feeling his erection pulse harder and harder. Her walls reacted, squeezing him gently in return. Pae felt each pulse. Each seemed stronger than the last. There was a boiling heat inside her. Not from him, he was hot and inside, but deeper in the pits of her stomach she felt a pressure that begged for release.\n\n\"Sorry,\" Exilo murmured as he pulled back, then pushed forward into the warm mass of she-wolf and felt a final release. His gush, his pressure built then drain out of him in massive spurts. Pae yelped loudly, squirming and howling as he climaxed inside her. She continued to shudder until he was merely trickling liquid, and dropped down, exhausted, onto him.\n\nFor a long time, neither moved. Neither had the strength. The week of work had been exhausting, but this was in a different league. Honestly, he simply didn't want to move and break the comfort of this position.\n\nSo it was up to Pae. Slowly she lifted her head from his chest and placed her paws on his shoulder. She pushed up, and slid off him, shivering as his shrinking girth rubbed against her walls. She rose fully, holding it a moment, and he leaned forward and nuzzled at her breast, then flicked his tongue out, rubbing against the black nipple, a sharp contrast to the snowy fur around.\n\n\"Exi,\" she uttered, putting a paw at his head and pushing him back. \"Stop that.\"\n\n\"Oh jeez, what did we just do?\" he asked. Animal instinct started to clear from his thoughts.\n\n\"Mated,\" she said simply.\n\n\"We've known each other for a week!\"\n\nPae stroked him, and bending her head, ran her tongue up the bridge of his black nose and to the start of his majority brown fur. \"I don't know about you...Exi.\" She forced a smile. \"But I really enjoyed it.\" She chewed on her lip. \"I...think I really like you.\"\n\nExilo stared. He smiled. \"We barely know each other.\"\n\n\"Well we got the sex out of the way. Everything can just go good from here on out.\"\n\nAgain, Exilo reached forward and took gentle hold of Pae, pulling her close to his chest. \"Good from here on out,\" he smiled, cuddling and nuzzling her all night." } ]

The sun rose, the winds blew clouds over the ocean, and everything was normal. But one thing was all across the news come midmorning. Every headline in every newspaper, across every language, said the same thing:\nASTEROID HEADED FOR PLANET\nSome top astronomers had discovered a new hunk of space rock the night prior, and while that alone might have led to a few scientific journals publishing the fact, there were two key features about this boulder that set it apart from all the other space junk hurtling through the cosmos. First, it was one of the largest asteroids ever seen, nearly the size of Texas. It was so large that it disrupted the gravitational pull of Pluto on its moon as it rocketed between the two, sending them spiraling off. The second fact was much more disturbing, though: It was on a collision course with Earth! Something needed to be done, or scientists predicted that the resulting impact when it struck would wipe out most of Europe instantly and kill off all life due to the damage to the environment mere years later. Worse still, while it was still three years until impact was set to occur, there was next to nothing anyone could do to stop it. As more and more scientific communities double- and triple-checked the numbers to show the claim was genuine, riots broke out in the streets and religious fanatics called to the population to repent before the end.\nThat was, of course, until an alienesque ship appeared in the sky above New York City. That just made things worse. However, the ship sent out a broadcast, one that appeared in every electronic device in every language.\n[People of Earth. We are what you would call aliens, a race known as the G'norgath. 'Protectors' would be the closest translation. We have seen your plight, and the Greater Galactic Community has decided you are advanced enough to warrant saving. In order to disrupt your incoming meteor, the gravitational force of an entire planet must be used to redirect it. By our calculations, the technology we have on hand can only do this if action is taken within one Earth month. We have a special device that can generate enough gas to match your Jupiter, but it needs a vessel so it does not escape into the vastness of space while it gains gravity. It is a daunting task to require, and we know no individual would want to condemn themselves to this fate, but...\nWe need a volunteer to become the newest planet of the solar system.]\nWhat followed was a stream of data backing up their claim, the exact specifications of the new 'planet' including size, internal pressure, orbit, and mass, and the blueprints for a communication device to contact the aliens when we were ready with a volunteer.\nMuch to the surprise of the government and the aliens, hundreds of thousands of people volunteered from around the globe. A scarce few did it 'to protect humanity' or 'for fame and glory', but the overwhelming majority did it because they had a fetish for being blown up like a balloon to ridiculous sizes. This led to a new problem, however. Instead of fighting to not get chosen, now there was a battle for the spot among the eight planets! Eventually the United Nations decided to hold an international raffle for those willing to give everything up to be the newest gas giant.\nIn the end, the tickets were drawn, and a young woman named Janet from Ohio was found to be the winner. A twenty five, spry little woman with long red hair and blue eyes, standing around five feet tall with thin proportions. \"Finally, I can be the size I've always dreamed of,\" she explained in an interview.\nStill, a victory was a victory, and she soon found herself on the alien craft hundreds of thousands of mines from Earth, just beyond the orbit of Saturn. She held a small pill in her hand.\n[Remeber, Janet. This is for the future of your species. There is no going back. We have reached the location and speed to put you in a proper orbit, so when you are ready take it and jump out.]\nJanet happily swallowed the pill, and took a running leap out of the ship's artificial gravity. As the beings had promised, the pill took effect near instantly. The first thing that she felt was the lack of the freezing temperatures associated with space, and she didn't feel hungry any longer. She also noticed, as an afterthought, that she was no longer breathing, her body seeming to sustain itself. And then, from inside her body, she heard the hissing start. It was quiet at first, growing louder and louder by the minute. Janet put a hand to her stomach as it bloated out, skin stretching to quickly make her look well beyond pregnant. Her arms, legs, and the rest of her torso followed suit, blimping out so fast that a normal human would have been torn in half!\nBut Janet was no longer a human. She was now the modified shell of a new planet, and she was proud of it. As she passed blimp size and zeroed in on surpassing an aircraft carrier, she heard the hissing continue to grow as her arms and legs disappeared completely into her spherical body. Skin stretching tighter and tighter, she at last became visible to Earth telescopes as she passed the size of Texas, finally growing larger than the meteor she was going to stop.\n\"I can't believe it,\" she thought. \"This feels so amazing, and I get to stay like this forever!\" Janet grinned as she grew larger and larger, her body swelling to such sizes even she could not comprehend how large she was getting. Past the size of America. Past the size of Earth itself! The impossibly large balloon grew bigger still, exerting her newfound gravitational pull as the gasses within her gravitated towards her core. It lessened the strain and pressure on her now micrometer-thick, invincible skin as she finally stopped growing, cementing Planet Janet as the largest planet in the solar system, 10% larger than Jupiter.\nThe world cheered their heroine as the meteor became caught in Janet's gravity and became her first of many moons, and Janet settled into her orbit with a slightly bloated smile on her face. Finally, she was the perfect size.\n" } ]

So if your too young or easily offended please go no further. Thank you for reading and please enjoy\n\nThe white rabbit silently watches the group of cubs as they chat quietly while setting up a picnic in the meadow. There are three of them: a cheetah girl, a pink fox boy, and a white boy mouse. None of them could have been over eight. Oddly enough, they don't seem to have sandwiches or normal picnic food. They brought cereal and milk on this picnic...\n\nOnce he sees the box, the rabbit launches himself from the bushes. He bowls through the gathered cubs, grabs the cereal box and makes a break for it. The white rabbit crows at his success. He sings aloud, \"Yay! I?m finally going to have Trix cereal! Lemony yellow, raspberry red, lime green, orangey orange, and grapity grape!\" He runs off, making for the trees on the other side of the clearing, while all 3 cubs chase him.\n\nAt the last minute the cheetah girl catches up to him, snatching the box away. \"Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids,\" she remarks before turning back to where her picnic basket is laid out. The boys both turn to follow her back, laughing at the funny rabbit. The two boy's laughs die out as a strong arm grabs them about the throat and hauls them back into the woods.\n\nThe white rabbit pushes the kids to the ground, making sure the girl hasn't noticed their disappearance. He grabs the roll of duct tape he had hidden earlier and quickly goes about gagging the little brats and binding their paws. \"You fucking little pukes. I can't believe you idiots thought I've been doing this just to get at your breakfast cereal. You brats aren't too bright, are you?\" He hauls them to their feet and marches them deeper into the woods.\n\nOnce they are out far enough for comfort, he pushes the mouse boy to the ground, winding the tape around his ankles and sitting him upright so he can't move. \"Now you're going to find out just which of your goodies I'm really after.\" He tears the gag from the fox's muzzle as he bends the boy over a stump.\n\nThe boy whines, tears streaming down his face. \"Please Mr. Rabbit. I'm sorry! We won't laugh at you anymore, I'll even get Shelly to give you the whole box. Just let me go.\"\n\nThe rabbit just laughs at him. \"Got a short memory, don't you bitch? I don't want your nasty cereal, but what I do want is named after a fruit.\" He walks up behind the boy and tugs down the pink fox's green shorts and underwear. \"Mmm, pink cherry popping good. Now scream for me you little maggot, cause I?m gonna fuck you; it's gonna hurt and ain't no one gonna make it stop.\" With that, he lines up his cock with the fox's virgin ass and pushes in with one hard stroke.\n\nThe boy bawls like a bee-stung cub as the rabbit stretches his ass wide open. The little pink fox starts to sob as the rabbit holds him down, then leveraging that fox ass up for a better thrust.\n\n\"Ohh yeah, god damn you little bastards are tight.\" The rabbit rocks forward slamming that big fat dick in to the hilt. He doesn't wait, he doesn't let the boy rest, he just thrusts home again and again, pounding the screaming boy's ass mercilessly. \"That's what you get for teasing a rabbit!\" He slams his fat dick into the boy one more time before he groans loudly, flooding that young ass with hot sticky juice. The man casually pulls himself free and wipes the still spurting sex off with the fox's young tail.\n\nThe big white rabbit turns his attention to the bound little mouse. \"Guess who's next?\" The grinning bunny stalks over to the mouse, tearing off the tape on his ankles and then pulling the boys jeans off those kicking legs. The rabbit pushes the lad down into the dirt, spreading his legs and positioning himself between them. He glances over his shoulder at where the fox is laying, glad for the audience.\n\nThe rabbit grabs one of the boy's kicking ankles and pins it under one armpit as he pushes forward, sliding his nice fat cock into that sweet tight mouse hole. He buries it all the way up to the hilt in one hard push. The mouse can't scream through his gag, and his sweet cries barely register to the hare's sensitive ears as he buggers the little boy hard and fast. The rabbit is lost in his own world, tongue lolling out, grunting loudly with each hard thrust. \"Ohh gods what sweet fucks you boys are.\" He leans down to lick away the tears streaming down the mouse's snow-white cheeks. \"I'm gonna bang your ass, you sweet little slut.\" With that the pace picks up even faster, with the rabbit jack-hammering his cock deeper and deeper into his prey. With a loud moan and a flurry of quick thrusts he cums hard, filling the previously innocent boy with his hot sticky seed.\n\nThe white rabbit climbs off the mouse and stands over him, letting the last few spurts rain down on his little frame. With a sigh he turns around and smiles. \"Well looks like it's your turn again bitch...\"" } ]

I love that he chose me, to entrust me with his canine troupe that he created, technically, by hand.\n\nThe only reason that he chose me in the first place was because he didn't feel like cleaning up after them. Which I can understand. Then again, it's not fun cleaning up after any animal. But it's a job that's got to be done, no matter what. It's just nature...sort of.\n\nAs I kept thinking about this, I heard my door crack open.\n\n\"Hey, Comrade, you awake?\" a voice asked. I could tell it was Exile immediately.\n\n\"Yes, Exile,\" I answered. \"What is it?\"\n\n\"I feel kinda lonely in my room. Can you...you know...sleep with me?\"\n\n\"It would be my pleasure.\" I smiled. I got out of bed and followed him to his room.\n\nWe got under his covers and curled up beside each other.\n\n\"I've been thinking about this...thing that we've been having recently,\" Exile whispered.\n\n\"And...?\" I urged.\n\n\"I think we might be, I don't know, rushing it a bit.\"\n\n\"Well, I don't know about\\_that\\_.\"\n\n\"C'mon, Jay. We've only been having sex for the past couple of months. Let's let things go slow. At least for now. Please?

But this is serious.\"\n\n\"I know, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to lighten the mood,\" I apologized.\n\n\"And I thank you for that. But seriously. Please,\" he begged.\n\n\"Alright, alright, I'll let us take a break for a while.\"\n\n\"Good. But for now, let's enjoy this beautiful night together.\"\n\nHe embraced me in his arms.\n\nI snuggled close to him, placing my right hand on his chest.\n\nExile nuzzled his muzzle against my hair and inhaled deeply. It still felt weird, but I was cool with it.\n\nI watched as Exile started to drift off to Slumberland. His eyes started to droop. They were becoming harder to hold up for him, I could tell. Soon, he crashed his head against his pillow and started to snore. It wasn't loud, but it was enough to notice.\n\nI stared at him for a while longer, enjoying the view of his beautiful face, watching a tiny bit of drool trying to run off his lower lip. I got to it in time.\n\nExile snorted for a second and then continued to sleep. Not long after, I started to drift off with him. I took one last look at him before I was out like a light.\n\nThe following morning, just like all the others when I sleep in Exile's room, he was gone, leaving me to sleep alone.\n\nI got up and went to the kitchen, to see if anyone was in there. They were not.\n\nI went to Professor Shepherd to see if he needed anything. He did not.\n\n\"What you could do, though,\" he suggested, \"is vacuum the floors a bit. They look like they need it. Bad.\"\n\n\"Where did the Rovers go?\" I asked.\n\n\"They went off on their assigned mission. They'll be back in a while. Now go,\" he insisted.\n\nI did as I was told and went to vacuum the rugs, waiting for the Road Rovers to return. It's so lonely here without them, I realized. It's just like living in a big mansion without any friends or family. Man that must suck.\n\nI was on the second to last rug when the Road Rovers finally returned. I never knew there were so many rugs! I better start doing this on a regular basis.\n\n\"Hey, guys, welcome back!\" I greeted.\n\n\"Hey, Jay,\" Hunter answered. He started to look around, bewildered. \"Say, did you do something to this place? It looks...nicer; like...I don't even know!\"\n\n\"I only vacuumed the rugs,\" I murmured.\n\n\"It still looks nice,\" he added.\n\nThe boys crashed on the couch, while Colleen went into the bathroom to fix her hair. They grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. They surfed through each channel, to see what was on, and if there was anything good. There was not.\n\n\"Why is there nothing good on this television? It's just this Oprah and Doctor Phil, whoever he is,\" Exile complained.\n\n\"Why don't we pop in a movie?\" I suggested.\n\n\"Like what?\" Hunter wondered.\n\n\"I don't know, maybe 'Judge Dredd'? That wasn't too bad of a movie.\"\n\nEveryone agreed. I searched for it, found it, and popped it in. It was about fifteen minutes in when I suggested to make popcorn. Everyone agreed, so I went to make some.\n\nAs it finished popping, I pulled out a giant bowl and poured it in. I brought it out and we all enjoyed the popcorn as well as the movie.\n\nA couple of times, me and Exile reached into the bowl at the same time and accidently touched hands. You know what I'm talking about. That cliché moment. I'm pretty sure you've seen it in many movies and TV shows. Same old, same old. Whatever. Let's continue with the story, shall we?\n\nIt was about an hour and a half, or something like that. It wasn't bad, but I've seen better.\n\nAfter the movie, I decided to go investigate the noise that I heard earlier in the day.\n\nI walked down the hall, inspecting the walls. I looked at the pictures, like I did last time. Nothing.\n\n\"Hello?\" I called.\n\nStill nothing.\n\nI walked down to the bathroom. I peered in through the doorway, seeing nothing but darkness.\n\nWeird, I thought. Well, since I'm in here already, mind as well take a hot shower.\n\nLike I said before, I shouldn't have done that in this kind of situation, but YOLO, right?\n\nAs I was taking my shower, I enjoyed the nice, hot water, letting it cascade down my body, letting it overtake me with its heat.\n\nI was finishing up my hair when I heard a thump!\n\nI stood there for a second. \"H-hello?\"\n\nNothing.\n\nI shook the thought out and continued my shower by lathering the rest of my body.\n\nThe sound came again.\n\n\"Okay, who's there? I know someone's in here!\"\n\nStill nothing.\n\nI got out of the shower, still soapy.\n\nI walked to the mirror and peered at it. As I gawked, I could've sworn\\_I saw a figure in the back corner. I turn around just to make sure. \\_It must be my mind playing tricks on me. It has to be. This doesn't happen in real life, does it?\n\nI look back at the mirror. What was that? I had to make sure. I stared at it again. I saw something else. I decided to not look behind me this time. I leaned my head in closer. Closer.\n\nMy head was now merely millimeters from the glass. I squint; wanting, begging to figure out what the mysterious figure was. All that I could make out was that it look almost blob-like. Just a little black mist. I couldn't identify it at all.\n\nSuddenly, little tiny red circles formed. Those must be his eyes. My heart skipped a beat. I was not expecting this.\n\nI was speechless. I stared at it with a gaping open mouth. I had never seen anything like this before in my entire life. I just wanted to get out of there - and fast.\n\nI pulled myself away and went back into the shower. I washed off the access soap, wrapped myself around, and left the room within a blink of an eye." } ]

His brown, Beagle fingers pressed firmly, yet gentle against the instrument. Whenever Alex played, his life became painless. Everything that has ever worried him would just fly out the window and the only thing he could hear or think about was his own music; his escape.\n\nAlthough his social life wasn't his top priority, he had people that he cared deeply about. He had some good friends and he kept his family closer than his own skin, but the one thing that even surpassed that connection, was the feelings he shared with his boyfriend. Adam was everything that Alex had to live for. Adam was his moon and his sun; he was his best friend and his lover. Just recently, Adam moved out of town and across the country, but Alex lost no feelings whatsoever; he still loved him unconditionally.\n\nNow here he was again, stroking the keys of his piano to forget about the awful feelings that he felt. He was forgetting all about how much he missed Adam and he was forgetting all about the hard times they were about to go through; he was focused on his music. The notes pressed on, from high to low, and Alex tilted his head with the melody. His eyes were closed and his mind was wide open. If anyone had been watching, they might've claimed to see the notes enter one of his ears and out the other. It was exactly what Alex was feeling.\n\nThe song neared its ending and Alex slowly lifted his foot off the pedal. The sounds faded into nothing and Alex opened his eyes; he found himself staring at the picture of Adam sitting on top of the instrument. The Jack Russell Terrier had a huge grin on his face and a peace sign on his hand. His eyes were glowing green and Alex could imagine them shine as he laughed. He was perfect in every way, but he wasn't there for him to hold.\n\n\"Adam,\" he whispered quietly, \"come home soon, my love.\"\n\nHe stood up slowly and turned around, facing the grand staircase of his living room. He was rich, there was no doubt about it, but it didn't affect Alex at all. He wasn't snobby and he wasn't stuck up; he was a heartfelt, loving kid that possessed more emotional strength than Hercules. It was a miraculous sight and he didn't take it for granted whatsoever.\n\nHe pressed up the stairs and continued towards his bedroom, stopping by his parent's room on the way. His hand reached forward towards the handle and with a slight flick of the wrist, he pushed his body into the large room.\n\nThere his dad laid, with his reading glasses on and his laptop sitting nicely on his lap. When Alex entered the room, he didn't so much as look up from his technology; he knew who was there without taking a second thought. \"Alex,\" his dad said quietly, still typing away.\n\n\"Yeah dad?\" Alex replied without taking a step away from the door.\n\n\"I haven't heard that one before, what's it called?\"\n\n\"I haven't named it yet, dad; I just started writing it last week.\" He lifted the glasses off of his eyes and looked Alex deep in his blue eyes. Alex stood still with his guard completely down; he was ready to take any criticism or praise that he had to offer.\n\n\"It's beautiful Alex, just watch out for the ending. I think you may be speeding it up a bit more than you think you are. Take time to listen to your tempo.\" Alex nodded and his dad lifted the glasses back up onto his eyes. He took the comment to consideration, but was too tired for another effort of understanding.\n\n\"Thanks dad, I'll work on it tomorrow. I'm headed to bed; you know where to find me.\" As Alex closed the door softly and proceeded towards his chamber, his dad said nothing. He was a simple man and didn't say or do much more than needed. He felt that we shouldn't waste life on the little, unimportant things and focus on making ourselves better as both a race and as individuals. In a way, we all felt the same.\n\nAlex reached his room and tossed his body on the soft, satin sheets that he picked out himself. They were black and white-once again, simple-but still held great power. He looked up at his blank ceiling as if it was a portal into his own mind, and began to think about his love. Normally they'd talk on the phone before Alex headed off for bed, but it was already 2:00 A.M. and he didn't want Adam to lose a second of his peaceful sleep. So he sat there, with his eyes closed tight, and slowly drifted off to sleep, thinking about nothing besides his one true love and the next time he'd see that gorgeous face again.\n\n\\\\\\\n\nVincent-or Vince as his friends chose to call him-took another glance at the time. Minutes were passing by so slowly and he couldn't wait until his time struck. The dark red swirls on his fur illuminated in the dark room and the hair on his head was shading the top half of his vision. He sat and watched patiently as the second hand counted on. He wanted this moment to come; he needed this moment to come.\n\nSimply looking at exteriors, one could easily claim that Vince was straight. He appeared rugged, cool, and acted just like every other Fox his age. He had no problem going out in public and making fun of every gay boy he passed. He gained of sense of superiority over them; he felt better than everyone else. Even the people he knew and loved were completely convinced that he liked girls, but deep down on the inside, he was just like those that he pretended to hate.\n\nHe had a secret that he shared with no one, but he didn't want to keep it that way. Although sometimes it benefited him greatly, he wanted to let go of the strings he kept himself attached to. The biggest fear that he had ever had was being alone, without even a single friend. All the people that knew and loved him accepted him as the gay-basher that he pretended to be. If he came out of the closet, he would be labeled as a hypocrite, a liar, and he would lose all the friends he worked so hard to achieve.\n\nIf lying to himself meant keeping his close friends, he was willing to take the risk.\n\nVince lifted his body up and out of his chair and unlocked the door to his bedroom. He proceeded through the frame and walked to the kitchen on the other side of his small, yet homey apartment. He reached his hand down and swung open the door to the refrigerator. After taking a glance at every item on all three shelves, he chose to grab the last can of Arizona Iced Tea. The door shut and he popped open the can with ease, taking a sip from the cold, metal container. He returned swiftly to his room, checking the time as he entered. 1:56 A.M., it was time to move, time to leave.\n\nThe handle to his door made a quiet ticking sound as he locked it once again. He walked over to the iHome that he kept next to his bed and flicked on the power button. He scrolled down to the bottom of his iPod's menus and clicked \"shuffle all\"; the speakers lit the room with a ambience of bass and keyboards: the perfect mix of electronic sounds. Vince approached the only window his room contained and quietly unlocked the hatches. He slid the glass cover all the way to the left and removed the filter-like cover that stood behind it.\n\nHe lifted one foot out onto the fire escape, followed by the other, and slowly dragged his legs to the corner farthest from his room. He hopped over the railing and climbed one hold at a time until he successfully reached the hard concrete floor below him. This wasn't even close to the first time that he snuck out of his apartment, but his adrenaline rushed as if it was. He was ready to begin the plan that he and his friends made out for tonight, with full awareness and complete focus. If only they knew his true goal, a victory that veered far from their expectations.\n\nHe spotted the car at the end of the alleyway, the car that had been scheduled to meet him here at 2:00 A.M. He quickly rushed over to the back seat of the vehicle and popped it open in seconds. The door shut tightly and he took a good look at the three kids that would accompany him on his mission tonight; they were three well known friends and all shared the same interest in bringing the gays to tears. Although they had no intent on harming anyone physically, the emotional pain they dished out was just as hard to bear and just as easy to gain ecstasy from.\n\n\"Hey Vince, you ready for this?\" one of the boys in the front asked. He was older, probably a senior, but Vincent had never took the time to ask for assurance.\n\n\"Yeah,\" he responded, \"Who are we seeing tonight?\" Even though they had already discussed plans at school, it seemed like the right thing to do was ask again for confirmation. It added more suspense and anticipation to the moment, just the way Vince liked it.\n\n\"Alex Morrison, the fag who you said sits behind you in Biology.\" Vince looked up into the kids eyes and nodded in agreement. Although he always told stories about the \"stupid\" and \"disgusting\" things that Alex would talk about, it was all a lie. Alex seemed like a very well-rounded kid, but Vince wasn't allowed to show his envy.\n\nDespite the fact that he had never spoken a single nice word to Alex, Vince had a bit of a crush on the boy. He wasn't able to act on it or talk about it with anyone, but sometimes he imagined himself sharing a nice romantic evening with Alex. Although there were quite a few gays to be examined at their school, Alex was one of the few that appealed to Vince's feelings. He was very down to earth and very mature for his age. He wasn't just another out-of-control freshman with sights set on partying; he was very contained and full of emotions, the kind of guy that Vincent always imagined he'd end up with.\n\nThe car eased on the gas as it approached the giant mansion. Vincent looked up at one of the top windows in the house. The light emitting from a TV or computer was flickering on the window; he knew was going to have to watch out for that one. He was told on the car ride over where exactly Alex's room was in comparison to the rest of the house; this room was not it. Someone else on the property was awake, and Vince was going to have to be careful and quiet if his plan was to be executed properly.\n\n\"The goal,\" the kid next to him had explained, \"is to scare the living shit out of him. I don't care how you do it or how intense you make the situation, just get the job done.\"\n\nVince listened, but already decided ahead of time to disobey orders. He had another plan in mind-one that included a lot more than scaring the kid to tears. He wanted something that he could benefit from secretly, something that he could use to his advantage. Tonight was the Vince's night to execute the trespassing while the other three stood guard; he was going to be alone with all eyes turned. Who wouldn't take that chance when they finally got it?\n\nHe shut the door quietly, yet firmly, and took a good look at his surroundings. The mansion was huge, and obviously guarded by some sort of security system. This was exactly why Vince carried a large hoody jacket to block his face.\n\nHe walked cautiously and hastily towards a tall lattice on the side of the house-the same kind you'd find in one of those old romantic flicks such as Grease. Just like he remembered from the cinemas, he put his right foot onto a concave patch and lifted his body up using his upper arm strength. As his elevation increased, he looked around more frequently for security cameras or setups. None were in sight.\n\nWhen Vincent finally reached the window he had been craving for, it began to seem too good to be true. He peered into the cracks between the blinds and let his eyes fall down on the sleeping body he had been looking for. Alex looked so peaceful, so innocent. Vince couldn't help but yearn for a closer look.\n\nHe pulled a Cub Scout-style pocket knife from his hoody and eyed his sights on the locks in the middle of the window. It took him less than two minutes, thanks to experience, to fully unlock the simple latches of the glass passage and slide the panel to the side. He quickly jumped inside of the room, taking one last look out to his friends to make sure that the scene was still clear. Luckily for him, the area seemed just as calm as it ever had and Vince was finally ready to make his move.\n\nThe breeze rolled softly through the newly obtained vent and Vincent enjoyed the tranquility it presented. He closed his eyes and felt the air pass across the surface of his skin; he could almost hear the wind calling out to him, caressing him and comforting him. Alex still laid peacefully in his king-sized cradle, snoring ever so slightly underneath his breath. Vincent approached his sleeping body with care, closely observing every curve and crevice that his figure created inside of the sheets.\n\nVincent grew within touching distance of the boy that he admired. He leaned his body closer and closer in, until finally he was where he needed to be to complete his personal ambition. His eyes closed leisurely and he pressed his lips against the warm skin of Alex's face. Although he only gained enough courage kiss the side of Alex's cheek, it was all that Vincent really needed. He had been hiding underneath this façade for so long, that being given just one moment to act on instinct was exactly what he needed to feel complete. The instant in time only lasted a few seconds, but it filled Vincent's heart. He looked down at Alex once more and was relieved to see that he was still sleeping soundly.\n\nHe ripped his head sharply to the left as he heard footsteps begin to approach his direction. The only thing he feared-being caught in the act-was approaching reality quickly. Vince darted back to the window and slid down the vines that surrounded the outside. He was in such a panic, such a hurry, that he completely failed to close the window or return his Cub Scout knife safely to his pocket. 'No big deal,' he thought, 'there's no way that they could trace the knife back to me.'\n\nIf only he knew the truth.\n\n[[http://www.sofurry.com/page/252645/user](http://www.sofurry.com/page/252645/user)]\n\nWhen Vincent returned to the vehicle, he dashed inside hastily and frenzied. The driver sensed his panic and darted off in a pinch, leaving behind a loud screeching noise from the tire-on-road friction. \"What happened?\" the boy from the passenger-side seat asked him loudly, \"why were you in such a hurry to get out?\"\n\n\"Someone was coming,\" Vince responded, watching the scenery pass by his window, \"Don't worry, I'll finish what I started next week. He'll never see it coming.\"\n\nThe boys exchanged smiles and high fives, but Vince continued to stare out his window. He couldn't explain the emotions that he was beginning to feel, but he coped with them the best he could. 'Was this love?' he asked himself, 'I don't think so, but I can't just give up now. I need to get closer to him. I need to figure out exactly what it is about him that makes me feel this way. If I can just make it through one more week, maybe I could come up with a plan to win him over. Maybe I'll be able to push aside this mask forever. I'm tired of living this lie.'\n\nThe vehicle pressed on against the night time sky and Vincent closed his eyes for a moment, just to take some time to relax. He quickly fell into a deep slumber and both he and Alex laid peacefully in sleep. They were so close to each other, yet so far away, and Vince prayed to receive one more chance to be alone with him. It might not be enough time to complete what he needed, but it was enough time to give him some hope; it gave him faith that someday in some way, he would escape the cage he held himself inside of. He would finally be able to be himself for the first time in his entire life; what more could he ever ask for?\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*\n\nPart 2: [http://www.sofurry.com/?pid=251187](http://www.sofurry.com/?pid=251187)" } ]

The 7 year old girl had a huge smile on her face today, it was the first sale mom and dad let her go out all on her own for! Of course, they expected her to stay in the nice safe little suburb area, not to strike out to the 'bad part' of town in hopes of getting even more sales. The girl was very much typical little girl, slightly plump, cheerful, and innocent to a fault. She had no idea why mom and dad had told her to stay away from this area of town.\n\nWhat could possibly go wrong?\n\nAmy smiled as she knocked on the large door, adjusting her cute little skirt a bit as she bounced from foot to foot \"Hellloooo\" she called out for \"Bunny Scout Cookies!\" she said happily as she holds up a pink box of 'Cream filled bunnies' to the window, her uniform crisp and clean over her plump little form.\n\nNot soon later, Sapphire came to open the door, the muscular ebony little girl drinking on a coke through a straw. Even though she could not be any older than 8, she was still more muscular than even most men Amy had seen during her young life. She was dressed in a tank top and small jeans as she looked up at Amy, before getting her bottle away. \"You're cute! How much are they?\" she asked, while tilting her head.\n\nAmy giggled as she smiled \"Five dollars for the bunny cookies, ten for the bunny buns\" she says cheerily, \"They're great after a workout\" she chirped innocently as she stood there, looking very tempting all tight in her uniform and alone, as if like an invitation for the young Humadrion.\n\nSapphire giggled a bit as she nodded. \"Oh that's nice price indeed but I think we have to go check out with my big sisters first, they handle the money situation in this situation. Can you come inside? They're in the gym probably, it won't take long and we'll probably buy lots?\" she'd ask, while stepping a bit away, eyeing along the girl's body a bit when she didn't look.\n\nAmy nodded happily as she skipped in, making her skirt pull up in the back, showing her plush rump clad in pink panty cloth as she did so; little gold stars were all over the underpants shining a bit as she walked, almost a run way light directing the girl to her ass.\n\nSapphire lead Amy to the gym section of the house, where 7 more women were doing work outs. They also were clad in similar outfit of tank top and jeans like the little girl. To call these 'ladies' developed would be understatement as their physique would make even biggest Austrian body builder blush in shame. The stench of fresh sweat was quite strong and they soon stopped their training, looking at Amy curiously. There was a woman, who looked like a slightly older version of Sapphire, two women who seemed like twins, a woman with completely white hair, one woman with only one eye, and the most beautiful of them all, Feralzen.\n\nAmy blushed shyly around all these strong women \"Uuh...I-I'm selling....B-bunny scout cookies\" she nervously said before continuing \"Uh...I got cream filled bunnies and glazed bunny buns....Five dollars for the first and ten for the other..\" she spoke meekly, looking at her feet as she did.\n\nFeralzen walked a bit closer, her obviously being the leader. Unlike the others, she wasn't incredibly muscular. Her boobs however were humongous, probably E cup or maybe small F. She had long gray hair that covered her face from time to time and she brushed it away with her hand. \"Hmm, nice... Sure, for five dollar, I think I could fill the bunny with cream and have fun with the bun...\" she'd murmur before slowly moving her hand down behind Amy's behind, before giving her a sudden small spank. \"It's a deal.\" she'd say as Sapphire slowly locked and closed the door, while the rest of the women began to get closer to the girl.\n\nAmy whimpered a bit, yelping loudly at the slap \"Uuh no...The...The cookies are filled already.... If you want both it... It's fifteen dollars\" she said timidly as she wiggled around in vain, trying to find a way out of the room as she was realizing something was not right \"I...I think I should go actually...\"\n\nSapphire soon got close to Amy as she unbuttoned and unbuckled before pulling down her pants down slowly, revealing her flaccid 11 inch long cock. \"Hey, don't go. You still haven't sucked my cock yet bitch. You do that, you can go.\" she'd giggle while rubbing along the sizeable length of the soft member. \"You like it?\" to Amy.\n\nAmy groaned as she shook her head \"No! T-that's gross! Girls don't have parts like that!\" she whined as she backed up into a wall \"I don't want to touch it! It's too big\" she said as frightened before making a bolt for the door, trying to open it.\n\nFeralzen however along with the most muscular woman, took hold of Amy and dragged her to middle of them as they all unzipped and unbuttoned their pants, revealing they all had massive cocks, each being bigger than Sapphire's. \"Heads up!\" one's voice yelled to Amy suddenly, as the big women began to suddenly urinate all over her, a filthy stream of their hot piss hitting the clothed girl.\n\nAmy screamed as she kicked and flailed in vain, trying to hit one of the massive urinating members, the poor girl's uniform ruined as it stick to her plump little form, making her look a bit like a little sausage tightly packed in now \"STOOOOP\" she screamed, actually, more like gurgled as the urine hit her mouth, making her gag and suddenly vomit all over the floor. The vomit was brownish hue and had half digested cookie parts; the girl was into her own cookie stock it seemed.\n\nThe women kept on urinating all over Amy for a while before Sapphire knelt a bit down, lifting the bunny girl's head up a bit to face her cock. \"That happened when you didn't do what you were told you little slut and tried to run. Do it again, and we'll do even worse things to you. Now, suck on my penis and clean it from the pee or I'll hurt you.\" she'd say as she rubbed her cock across the girl's face.\n\nAmy screamed in panic and shook her head, hands coming out to smack at the hefty member in her face \"NO! That's nasty I don't want a gross peepee in my mouth!\" she cried out loudly as she struggled in the strong girl's grip wildly.\n\nSapphire gasped as she slapped her cock few times against Amy's cheeks. \"Gross is it? Well bitch, you better start loving this dick and everyone else's gorgeous cocks in this room because they'll be in you soon. \"she'd say before she pushed her dick forcefully into her mouth.\"And don't you dare bite! I'll hurt you if you do that.\" she'd say while her cock began to harden and grow in Amy's mouth, the girl obviously getting aroused by being bossy.\n\nAmy gagged and wiggled, nibbling at the cock a bit, too panicked to really 'bite' but the intent was there as she gagged and gurgled, skin turning slightly green as it seemed she was near vomiting again.\n\nSapphire's cock grew to 14 inches long as she began to fuck Amy's mouth violently while giggling. Meanwhile, two more cocks come closer to Amy, the cocks' even as flaccid being over a foot in length. \"Stroke their dicks.\" the girl instructed as the women took hold of Amy's small hands, making them wrap around the big dicks.\n\nAmy sobbed as she stroked the girls clumsily, still nibbling pathetically on the thick member in her mouth, gagging and whining as she tries to say something, most likely along the lines of 'I'm going to puke!' as she was trapped by that massive member.\n\nFeralzen suddenly gets behind Amy, hiking her skirt up even higher to reveal those cute underpants before she pressed her face against them, planting her ass a kiss throughout the cloth. \"When was the last time you've taken a crap?\" she'd murmur while licking along the fabric, as Sapphire pulled her dick out for a moment, a trail of saliva leading to it.\n\nAmy gagged and sobs, some puke coming out onto Sapphire's feet as she tried to answer \"Mmghayesterdayaaah\" she spits out finally through her gagging and hacking, shaking sadly as she begins to sob loudly.\n\nFeralzen grins as she pushes her finger into Amy's ass through the fabric, but not breaking the panty itself as she pushed it in too. \"I asked when the last time you took a crap was!\" she'd ask again, this time, Sapphire would spit directly at the girl's face before laughing.\n\nAmy sobbed loudly \"I said yesterday!\" she said through sobs, snot, and tears flowing down her face pathetically as she struggled around in their grasp, \"Take your finger out! It's dirty there!\"\n\nFeralzen laughed as she pulled Amy's panties slowly down before giving a long lick to her ass before pushing her head further in, starting to lick on the ass. \"Mmhh....\" she murmured, enjoying it, especially since was as dirty as the girl had said. Meanwhile, Sapphire lifted her dick a bit as she presented her balls to her. \"Suck on these now.\"\n\nAmy scowled and shook her head, her little fist even going out to punch the presented balls in a fit of defiance! Meanwhile, her ass would be rather gritty and dirty, the girl not too good at wiping completely it seemed as she struggled \"STOP!\"\n\nSuddenly Amy was brought down to the floor hard, her now being on top of Feralzen who had her legs crossed across her body, the woman lying on her back on the floor while still licking along her ass. \"I warned you but you didn't listen.\" Sapphire said as all of the women began to squat, bringing their smelly rears closer to Amy as they began to shit all over her, runny diarrhea like feces pushing into her mouth, her face, into her nose, and all over her, some getting on Feralzen as well who didn't seem to mind at all...\"\n\nAmy screamed and gurgled, legs and arms flailing wildly as she cried loudly \"MMMMMMGHA\" she gagged horribly as she was smothered in shit, struggling wildly around \"MMMAAAAAAAMMMMAAA\" she cried sadly as she'd be forced to swallow down the waste.\n\nThe women continued to empty their bowels, at a fast rate while Feralzen sucked on Amy's ass, while her hand moved to rub on her pussy, trying eagerly to make the girl lose control as well. \"What do you think you little slut? This is going to be your dinner from now on...\" Sapphire cooed while farting up straight against Amy's nose, a foul and long fart.\n\nAmy gagged loudly as she struggled, gagging and sobbing loudly as she struggled her own thick, solid, turds coming out as Feralzen sucks her ass, sobbing loudly. \"NO! It's horrible!\"\n\nFeralzen starts eating out the logs Amy was making as the two women she had jerked off earlier come closer and jerk on their cocks at fast rate as they suddenly come, directly into Amy's eyes, and all over her face, covering it with their cum, before Sapphire pushed her dick deep into her mouth and down her throat as she herself cums too. \"Mmrghh!\"\n\nFeralzen soon climbed from underneath the Amy's ass as she stroked her own dick, it being 2'7 feet in length now. \"Look how excited you've made me... I'll make you into a woman tonight...\" she'd murmur as she'd slowly begin to push her dick into Amy's tight, virgin cunt.\n\nAmy gasped and shook her head \"Nooo!' she murmured weakly as she struggled in vain, sobbing as her tight walls were penetrated by that huge shaft, the head enough already to spread her lips wide and make her start to bleed.\n\nFeralzen then span Amy around so she's like on all fours as Sapphire presents her shit covered ass to the girl. \"Lick me clean.\" she'd say while pulling the girl's head into her rear as Feralzen begins to push more of her length in.\n\nAmy sobs as her virginity was taken by the older woman, submissively eating the younger girl's ass out with her soft pink tongue, hoping it would all be over soon.\n\nSapphire soon moved away as one of the muscular women, one with a completely white hair brought her penis close to Amy. It was massive as well, two feet in length. \"Talera's mute, but I think she wants you to lick and suck her dick. If you don't, she has ways to make you...\"\n\nAmy screamed harder as her pussy was beginning to get totally ripped by the large cock, struggling wildly as she tried to avoid sucking another cock \"MMMMGHA! NOOOOO!\"\n\nTalera pushed violently into Amy's mouth, the member so big it nearly dislocated the girl's jaw as two more big dicks come close to her face, them starting to rub all over her face, and her nose.\n\nAmy gagged and shook her head hard, trying to get free \"MMMMMMGAH' she drools in a panic as she 'speaks' trying to scream and get loose.\n\nTalera fucked into her mouth for few thrusts, before Amy's head was turned and the other woman began thrusting in her mouth. Her head was soon turned again, the third female having her fun with the girl. After few thrusts, the head was again turned and Talera took her turn with the head again. All during this, Feralzen begins fucking Amy deeper and harder with each thrust, her heavy balls slapping against the girl's thighs. Amy sobbed loudly as she was used as just a cock holder, going limp in their grasp, while beginning to sob quietly as she was continuously taken by force.\n\nSoon Feralzen began to moan as she starts pumping in and out faster as she began to blush. \"I'm going to come... I'll make you pregnant... Going to make you into mommy...\" she'd murmur as the cocks were taken out from Amy's mouth to let her speak out in response to that. However Amy was simply sobbing uncontrollably now, not evening seeming to have registered the comment, merely shaking her head and bawling like a baby as she did.\n\nFeralzen pushed her dick all the way into Amy's cunt as she began to come, like straight out of a volcano eruption as she shot load after load of extremely fertile cum into Amy's unprotected womb. \"Everyone! Ready!!\" she'd cry out as she pulled her dick out, all of the women began to jerk off fast, each coming all over the woman once again, totally drenching her in and out with the semen.\n\nFor a long time Amy sobbed, as she curled up into a ball, covered and stuffed with cum, shit, and piss, the girl was ruined by all accounts, as she sobbed \"O-Okay....C-Can I please go now?\" she'd whimper sadly as she looked up at the women.\n\nThe women looked at each other in confusion before Sapphire laughed and poked the woman's nose. \"You're silly! I just told you you'd be eating off our shit from now on as dinner, do you think we're some sort of delivery service and we'd come to your house to give it? No, you're going to spend the rest of your life with us. You'll never see the daylight again...\"\n\n\|" } ]

Oblivious to the shadows that fallowed close behind, swinging the bag of fast food he'd been sent to get, nothing on the list that Lin had given him was inside said bag, though no one back at the pad would mind too much. \"..I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away. Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh and I am cold, yes I'm cold, but not as cold as you are. I love the sound of you walking away...\" he sung aloud suddenly, unable to contain the music in his head any longer, and the mans gravely voice echoed in the ale and spooked the shadows. They scurried in every direction, like roaches, which in turn startled a cat sleeping on a trash can. 8-Ball glanced over his shoulder at the now fluffed up hissing cat and chuckled. He should have been looking where he was going but sadly he didn't see the purple, black whole that had just opened beneath him. \"aw, shiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTtttttttt.........\" He shouted as he fell, and faded out when the black whole closed behind him. Nothing remained but 8-Ball's sunglasses, witch glinted in the flickering street lamps. 8-Ball awakes in a haze, 'I want love' by Elton John was playing in the back ground and a white rabbit in a dominatrix getup standing beside him on the bed, that he was chained to. \"ooohhh look who's awake.\" he smiled evilly and tapped his whip on his furry thigh, \"I like it better when they squirm.\" 8-Ball shut his eyes and screamed in vain, a ball gag strapped tightly in his mouth. Just before the rabbit got 8-Ball out of his skivvies, the phone rang, and a red hart shaped light on it flashed. \"SHIT! it's the Queen, be quite!\" the small white rabbit hopped over him and answered the phone, \"Hello my Queen.....yes my Queen, I'll be right there!\" he hung up and quickly changed into street clothes and before slamming the door behind him he threatened 8-Ball, \"if your not here when I get back, you'll be sorry.\" the force of the door shutting caused a soot covered lizard, chimney sweep, pipe and a lot of soot to dislodge from inside the fireplace and tumble onto the hearth. As he coughed and hacked, he got to his feet and looked for his pipe, as he wondered over by the bed 8-Ball could tell he'd been smoking 'cause the lizard smelled heavily of weed. 8-Ball tried too ask for help, he shook the chains that bound his hands, the lizard looked up and blink then went slack jawed, \"whoa man that's not cool\" Bill, stuck his pipe in his pocket and took the gag out of 8-Ball's mouth. \"please, you gotta help me, that psycho bunny wants to sodomize me!!\" he struggled w/ the chains. Bill grabbed the keys from the side table and freed 8-Ball, \"OK man, your on your own from here on out, and if any one asked....you freed your self, I was never here...\" the lizard spoke softly and slipped back up into the chimney. 8-Ball was scared and couldn't find his clothes so he pulled his boxers back up and ran to the door, \"hey, that's my food....\" he muttered and grabbed the bag then tried to open the door. \"OWCH! Not so hard now young man.\" the door knob turned and the keyhole spoke, 8-Ball jumped back in shock. \"SHIT! don't do that! Why is this place like one bad trip.\" he had landed on his ass next to a small coffee table. The doorknob laughed and shook his head, \"its no use I'm locked , the White Rabbit has taken a likening to you.\" 8-Ball was pissed off now and got to his feet, took a track position , \"oh we'll just see about that, aint no door ever kept me out, or in!\" he lunged at the door and put his shoulder into it, smashing through the door and tumbling into a carrot patch. Where a dodo was scrounging for worms, he didn't look up at the half naked man that just burst from the White Rabbits house, just ate worms and pulled up carrots tossing them every witch way. \"...oooookay...\" 8-Ball stood and surveyed his surroundings, \"well this sure as shit aint HellsHome, but I've got to get home some how...\" he went left down a small path that ran adjacent to the rabbits secret sex layer, eating a few cheese burgers from the greasy bag. An hour passed and he'd gone at least 6 or 7 miles from his captives house, it was staring to get dark and cold, then suddenly the path dropped off a good 2-3 feet and he hit the ground w/ a thud, causing a dust cloud to billow out. \"...ooooooowwwwwchy!\" he exclaimed and clutched his shin, rocking back and forth he took deep breaths and let them out slow, a few streams of blood trickled down his leg. \"sonofabitch!\" he shouted when he saw a large pointy rock wedged between his right knee cap and where the femur meets the tibia and fibula. He looked around for something to make into a trinket, spotting a stream he army crawled towards it, leaving a trail of blood, that attracted all kinds of strange creatures. Some looked like office supplies others sex toys, the ones that looked like French ticklers swarmed his knee and pulled the rock from it before 8-Ball could shoo them away, \"OW! You little fuckers!\" he clutched his knee in pain as blood slowly gushed , the French ticklers swarmed again and begun biting at the wound, 8-Ball's screams echoed in the trees until something roared in a near by weeping willow, green cat eyes flashed and a white and gray striped panther sprung from the branch, landing in between 8-Ball and the creatures growling and swatting at them. The cat looked over \"get on my back\" he told 8-Ball and lowered his hind end, not questioning things any more 8-Ball climbed on and held tight to the felines neck, they sprung into the trees and headed back the way he'd just come from. \"NO, your not a friend of the rabbits are you?\" he shuddered at the thought of going back there. \"heh, hell no, that guys creepy, I'm from HellsHome, just like you.\" they were heading for a thick cloud of smoke rising from a small clearing in the woods. \"I'm taking you to the Mad Hatter , he went to med school before going into the family Hat business.\" the cat continued, \"I'm Ren-Ren by the way, and ill help you get home.\" 8-Ball was relived and sighed, \"8-Ball, you can call me E.B. though.\" he closed his eyes and passed out from loosening so much blood. They arrived at the Mad hatter's to find he and his lover, the March Hare in a domestic dispute over a broken teapot. \" DAMN IT WOMEN, HOW AM I AT FAULT FOR YOUR CLUMSINESS?!\" the Hatter shouted, wavering a dust pan full of broken pottery around and poking the Hare in the chest w/ the broom sick. The March Hare wept and crumpled to the floor, \" you're the one who left your boots in front of the stairs...\" his voice small and quivering. \"umm....Hatter, I kind of need a favor.\" Ren-Ren said after clearing his throat and adjusting the half dead man on his back. The Hatter huffed and motioned for the cat to fallow him as he stormed out the back door into the garden, leaving the sobbing Hare to clean up the mess. Inside the Hatters shed, witch doubled as a hydroponics grow room and a lab, 8-Ball was strapped down to a table when he came too, \"AHHHH! Shit no, not again!\" he squirmed as the Hatter was finishing up the stitches. \"hold still you silly man, or ill have to start over!\" the Hatter flicked E.B. in the nose w/ a bloody gloved hand. Ren-Ren had returned to his true form, being as he was a shape shifter, an anthro cat, w/ the same markings as his panther form and every other form he chooses. E.B. was confused for a moment but let it pass, the extra shot of morphine the Hatter had given him started to kick in and he just lay there in a dazes as the Hatter and Ren-Ren caught up, apparently they'd been Frat brothers in an other dimension then this or his own. 8-Ball found himself propped up in an over stuffed arm chair at a long dinning table covered w/ various sized, shaped and colored teapots, all of witch seemed to be full of something hot. He looked to his left, then his right, teapots as far as the eye could see. \"w-what?\" he blurted, unknowingly interrupting a conversation between the now lovey-dovey March Hare and Mad hatter. \"how rude, you silly, silly man\" the Hatter snapped and the two proceeded to move him to an other chair, a few feet to the left. \"you mustn't interrupt Eugene when he's talking\" the Hare uttered quietly into E.B.'s ear before pouring him some tea. \"Where's Ren-Ren?\" 8-Ball asked just above a whisper, \"he said he knew the way home....\" he groaned as the Hatter kicked him in the bad knee from the other side of the table. \"lets not talk of such things, now sit! Drink.\" the Hatter drank deeply from the cup in front of him, the Hare, after sitting, did the same. E.B. sighed and held his knee, took the tea cup and sipped it, the flavor was earthy and familiar. \" what is this?\" he asked looking over and between teapots at the two. \"THC tea, I grew the marijuana myself.\" the Hare boasted proudly sitting up in his chair. \"its nice, makes me feel good\" E.B. having never smoked pot before was getting a body high quickly, as he drank cup after cup. \"you shouldn't drink so much, you'll O.D. on the THC\" the Hare tended to the giddy man as Ren-Ren returned with a grin and a few red paint splotches on his fur. \"c'mon E.B. its time to go, iv created a diversion at the Queens castle, the portal back to HellsHome is inside some where.\" he scooped 8-Ball up and headed out, \"thanks guys, I owe you one.\" he smiled and left, leaving the Hatter and his lover alone again to start arguing over some trivial thing. As Ren-Ren padded down the path towards the Queen's place, 8-Ball unconscious in his furry arms, he begun to feel uneasy and looked over his shoulder to see a very pissed of rabbit. \"Excuse me but that belongs to me young man!\" the White Rabbit shouted and hopped faster closing the gap between them, \"oh crap!\" Ren-Ren exclaimed as he shot off, booking it towards the Castle and praying the portal stays open and hidden from the grads in the rose maze. The Rabbit, in hot pursuit of his sex-toy, blew a small flute and play a little tune, then up over the outer wall of rose bushes came the Queen's guards, \"SONOFABITCH! You cheeky little rabbit\" Ren-Ren cursed and hooked a hard left, tumbling down a grassy hill and crashing through Bill's roof. \"HEY MAN, THAT'S NOT COOL!\" Bill leaps from his lazy-boy and clung to the standing lamp in the corner as the two landed on the pool table. \"oh no, you guys have the guard after you too!\" Bill packed a few bongs and pipes then left, Ren-Ren saw him disappear over a hill then sat up and looked for 8-Ball. E.B. groaned and moved a bit, small cuts and scrapes covering him. \"E.B.! are you ok?\" Ren-Ren scrambled to his side, \"speak to me!\" Just as Ren-Ren rolled E.B. to his back the Rabbit jumped in the whole in the roof and kicked Ren-Ren in the face, landing on 8-Ball's chest. The Rabbit tied Ren-Ren up and strapped 8-Ball to Bill's bed, having set up his kinky-torture kit, and slapped him till he came too. \"OW, hey what the hell is wrong with you people?!\" E.B. shouted and thrashed about, ripping his stitches. \"I JUST WANT TO GO HOME!\" Poor 8-Ball's only other sex encounter was w/ his boss, Lin. He quivered in fear and anger, unable to comprehend nor deal with his predicament. The Rabbit whipped him and poured hot wax on his chest and stomach, all the while laughing and stroking his small pink cock. 8-Ball winced and bit his lip, praying silently that he would just wake up, that it was all a bad pot induced nightmare. The Rabbit removed E.B.'s boxers and was enraged that his new toy wasn't pert and ready for him, \"Damn you pussy whipped men are all the same!\" he shouted and back handed E.B., causing him to bleed slightly. \"if I can ride you, ill fuck you.\" the Rabbit stroked him self and spit on his cock before placing the tip against E.B.'s tight anis. \"ooooooohhhhh GAWD no please don't, c'mon man please, WAKE UP TRUBBEL YOU DUMB BASTARD!\" 8-Ball's cry awoke Ren-Ren, whom was tied up in the broom closet. He shifted into his house cat form and back to his anthro form, freeing himself from the ropes and crashing through the door, \"LEAVE HIM ALONE!\" he shouted and rushed the Rabbit, but he was too late the Rabbit had already penetrated E.B.'s anus several times, the two furs crashed to the floor where they fought before Ren-Ren grew tired of the rabbits weak attempts to kill him and shifted to his panther form, eating the rabbit in one bite, chewing before he swallowed. 8-Ball sobbed and sighed in relief as Ren-Ren untied him.\n\nCH.2 \"mushrooms and dank weed\"\n\nThe two HellsHome boys made there way thru the giant flower forest, 8-Ball in bad shape, mentally and physically. Ren-Ren's stomach was a little upset after eating such a sick rabbit. The air grew thick w/ the smell of ganja, haze turning to thick smoke the deeper they went into the forest. \"oooo I like this...\" 8-Ball looked down at his hand and giggled, \"why do they call them fingers, iv never seen them fing.....op! there they go\" he sunk to the ground, pulling Ren-Ren with him. \"E.B. pull yourself together, we've got to get out of here. Once the Queen finds out what I did, we're both gonna be headless.\" Ren-Ren struggled to get the other to his feet. \"your right fuzzy, I need to focus, fffffoooooccccuuuussss...heh\" 8-Ball staggered to his feet and limped onwards, holding his fury companions' arm tight, the smoke was thick like fog and the two where stoned out of their minds. \"hey eebha\" Ren-Ren giggles trying to say E.B. at they swaggered around and between treelike stems of giant flowers of all kinds. Finally they reached a clearing, the source of the smoke, in it was I huge toadstool and on it sat a large caterpillar with dreadlocks. He puffed on a wicked cool hookah, that sat in his lowest set of hands. \"What took you so long?\" the caterpillar asked in clouds of smoke. Ren-Ren set E.B. on a smaller mushroom and look a seat next to the caterpillar, \"that fucking white rabbit got in my way again,\" his stomach grumbled and he groaned. \"I hade to eat the sick little nympho.\" the caterpillar looked at him in shock. \"V....O....R...?\" big purple smoke letters puffed out of his mouth as he spoke. \"WHAT!? OH HELLZ NO! that's sick Seymour, I don't get off on that shit!\" Ren-Ren puffed up in defense to the accidental insult. \"So, do you want me to get you two home?\" Seymour asked, surrounding the feline in smoke. \"yes, he needs a real doctor.\" Ren-Ren coughed and got up, leaping down to 8-Ball and picking him up. \"lets go, now please.\" The caterpillar took one more hit before turning a reddish shade and sprouting huge tie die wings and lifting off, towards the rose maze. \"Wait up!\" Ren-Ren shouted as he shifted to his panther form and fallowed. Weaving in and out of enormous rose archways, the three quietly made their way to the interior of the maze. The portal sat in the corner of the center of a heart shaped clearing, where the Queen and several hundred card guards stood waiting for them. \"My Queen, sorry we're so late, but the fur ball ate Mr. White.\" Seymour bowed and took a seat in the chare to the Queen's right hand side. Ren-Ren snarled, \"YOU BACK STABBING SONOFAWHORE!\" 8-Ball fell to the ground as the feline lunged at the caterpillar, the guards grabbed him. \"why Seymour, why? What did I ever do to you?\" Ren-Ren's eyes welled up and he stopped struggling, \"your mother would be so disappointed in you, rest her soul.\" Seymour averted his eyes. \"Kill him, I want his pelt to keep me warm in winter.\" the Queen spoke elegantly and waved her hand, in a heart beat one of the Ace's pulled a dagger and slit Ren-Ren's throat. \"NOOOOOOOOO!\" 8-Ball's horse gruff voice startled the others, their shock grew as this half dead man's body begun to glow a deep red, \"UUUURRRRRAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!\" E.B. screamed as large demon wings sprout from his back, horns and fangs emerge as well, he got up onto his good leg and opened his wings. eyes glowing red as he rubbed his hands together then pulled them apart quickly, forming a black electric mass. \"you people are so fucked up, you don't deserve to exist any longer.\" he moved his hands around the black mass and it grew until it was the size of a basketball, the guards rushed him, disintegrating in the red glow that 8-Ball was emitting. \"Heh, weak. For a Queen you sure are dumb.\" he laughed before tossing the mass into the Queens lap, he scooped Ren-Ren's lifeless house cat form up and leaps into the portal as the mass exploded, obliterating that dimension. The two where thrown into an ale toppling over trash cans, 8-Ball groaned as his demon half faded and he sat in trash, sobbing over Ren-Ren and petting his fur. \"I'm sorry Ren-Ren, I killed them all for you.\" he leaned over and kissed the cats forehead, closing his eyes and wishing he could make it better. \"thank you Trubble.\" Ren-Ren lifter his paw and touched the bald mans cheek. \"good thing I'm immortal, huh?\" 8-Ball flicked the cats ear and let him go, \"you suck.\" E.B. sighed and flopped onto his stomach as the cat walked off \"I think you're home is just at the end of the ale, see ya round.\" Ren-Ren disappeared into the shadows as 8-Ball started to crawl home. 8-Ball finally hobbled back to the pad, the sun rising, his knee bleeding and a fucked up fast-food bag. \"LIN!\" he shouted as he collapsed at the front door, in nothing but his boxers Lin looked down at him her arms crossed and her eyebrow raised. \"oi what the hell happened to my food?\". she said not sounding as if she cared what happened to him. \"I....I..\" he looked up at her w/ a quivering lip \"..I got sodomized by a rabbit\" a tear fell down his cheek as her held up the bag She grabbed the bag and started eating the burger. \"ya well lay off the drugs\" she said turning away. \"......but, I don't do drugs...\" he twitched . \"Go get dressed I need beer\" Lin started to laugh and waved him off. He crawled into the kitchen and got her a beer, before going to his room to get dressed, leaving blood here and there. \"And clean this mess up your dirtying my house!\" she said sitting at the kitchen table, 8-Ball couldn't hear her, he was passed out on his bed from losing so much blood. A few minutes later she went to the doorway of his room. \"Trubble did ya hear me- holy shit\" she said going to his side and checking his pulse. E.B. didn't move, but groaned as the blood finally started dripping onto the floor from his knee, Lin started to panic, \"just hold on\" she said running to the kitchen to call 911.\" 8-Ball twitched and groaned again, she held his hand till the ambulance came and she went with him to the hospital. He came to, for a moment, in the ambulance and shouted, \"NO YOU CAN KEEP YOUR RABBIT WHOLE TO YOUR SELF!\" then passed out again. Everyone looked at him weird and one guy asked Lin what happened to him. \"I have no idea. he went for burgers.\"\n\n\\~Fin\\~\n\n8-Ball & Ren-Ren (c) Reno420\n\nLin & HellsHome (c) Desi E." } ]

But despite my usual bravado, I was bit nervous. And nervousness gives the faintest air of uncertainty to even the simplest of tasks. One way or another the chianti would wind up opened, so it shouldn't have cause me any anxiety. I should have been concerned about the glasses, and I was, but I was also concerned about everything else because of them. I shook my head as I chuckled to myself. Knowing the perils of the human condition did almost nothing to alleviate them. I finally freed the cork.\nIt was a relief when the doorbell rang about half an hour later. A good chianti needs to breathe. The problem with being well prepared was that it left me plenty of time to sit and do nothing but be just a little bit anxious about nothing, really. If I'd been running late, I would have had something to focus on right up until Holly's arrival. I opened the door.\n\"Hello, Holly,\" I smiled. \"Right on time.\"\n\"Of course,\" she chirped cheerily as she entered. \"I finally get to meet you face to face.\"\n\"Feels like I've already met you, though.\" As I took her coat I looked her over. She was dressed casually. She wore a white cotton top, unbuttoned enough to show just a bit of cleavage, over simple navy blue stretch pants. Her long black braids fell about her shoulders and spilled down her back. I had told her, only half joking, that she should wear something she didn't mind losing this evening. While her attire was fairly plain it gave just enough emphasis to her delicious curves, her shirt clinging just enough to show off her ample bosom, her pants fitting snugly but not tight around her hips. I dragged my mind back before it wandered too far afield.\n\"Like what you see?\" she asked, a mischievous glint in her eye. Apparently I'd already wandered far enough for her to notice.\n\"Yes,\" I said flatly. \"Care for a drink?\"\n\"I'd love one.\"\nDid she really believe? I wondered. She wanted to, I knew that for sure. But when I told her what I'd planned to do to her if we ever met, she was a bit incredulous. Making a game out of it seemed to lighten things up. I'd made a wager with her. If I won, I had her to myself to do as I pleased for the evening. If she won, she had me. And I could tell by the way she was looking at me that neither one of us could wind up being a loser tonight.\nI guided her into the living room. \"Have a seat.\" The wine and glasses were waiting on the table. I poured for both of us and handed her a glass. \"A toast?\"\nShe cocked an eyebrow at me. \"Do you really think it'll be this easy? There's something in the wine, isn't there?\"\nI shook my head. \"Of course not. You saw me pour it, whatever's in your glass is in mine too. See?\" I took a gulp of the wine. It was good enough that it really shouldn't be gulped, but I was trying to make a point. \"Do you want to wait and see if anything happens to me?\"\n\"Maybe you thought ahead and took the antidote, hmm?\"\nI sighed. \"Holly dear, I promise you I didn't put anything in the wine.\"\nShe pursed her lips, pondering my face. She relented. \"Ok. But remember, you don't have much time.\"\n\"I know.\" I had until midnight to get her, and she'd been quite shocked when I told her to be at my apartment at eleven o' clock. I raised my glass. \"Here's to a magical evening.\"\n\"Clever.\" The glasses chimed softly as we touched them together, and we drank.\nI settled back into the couch. \"So,\" I said, \"tell me about your trip.\"\n\"Cocky, aren't we? You've got less than an hour.\"\n\"More time than I'll need,\" I smirked. \"How was your flight?\"\nShe rolled her eyes. \"Long, bumpy and boring. I distracted myself by thinking about what you might have planned.\" She smiled again. \"So what do you have planned?\"\n\"All in good time, honey.\" I refilled our glasses. We talked more, Holly telling me about her excruciating flight, myself rambling on far too much about the toils of my job. We laughed and shared and drank, the wine starting to settle in on our already restless minds. The conversation ran far afield and though the couch had plenty of room for the both of us we found ourselves sitting closer together. Though there was no one else there to hear our words, we'd lean in close and lower our voices to share our naughtier exploits.\nMidnight was only a few minutes away when I opened the third bottle. I saw the color of intoxication rising in Holly's cheeks, and she suppressed a hiccup as I refilled her glass. \"You're almost out of time,\" she whispered, glancing at the clock. She held her own well against the wine, but the slightest of slurs was creeping into her words.\n\"Funny, I was just thinking the same about you,\" I said, topping off my own glass.\n\"So I was thinking,\" she said as she slid in towards me, her leg gently pressing against mine, \"that if you had any tricks to pull, you'd probably pull them now, since you only have a few minutes and I might be drunk enough for you to get something past me.\"\nI brought my face close to hers. \"You know that won't stop me from trying\"\nShe set her hand on my knee, her voice dropping to a whisper. \"I know. I'll just have to find a way to make you forget about your plan.\"\n\"So what are you going to do with me if I do forget, and you win?\"\n\"I'll think of something.\"\nI barely had to move to bring my lips to hers. Slowly, gently, we kissed. I pulled her body to mine, relishing every touch, every scent. I nuzzled up against her silky neck and breathed into her ear, \"There's something I need to tell you.\"\n\"What darling?\" she sighed.\n\"Ssssssssssss...\" I softly hissed into her ear. Smiling, I released her.\nHolly looked quizzically into my smug expression. The wine had dulled her just a little bit, but after a few seconds she heard that the hissing hadn't died out. Her face went blank, her jaw dropping. It was soft, barely audible, but it was still there. Realizing I was silent, she looked around for the source. The sound faded, but I knew the instant I saw the flash of shock in her eyes that she felt it, the slow pressure building in her chest.\n\"Wha--how?\" Her hands flew up to grab her own breasts, confirming what she already knew was true but was still beyond belief. Her breasts were swelling.\n\"With a minute to spare even,\" I murmured. \"Tsk tsk, I guess you shouldn't have had all that wine.\"\n\"But you--\" Words failed her as she turned her attention back to her inflating bust.\n\"Yes, I had the wine too. I said there wasn't anything in it, and there wasn't. It's a trick I saw in a movie.\" She stared back at me expectantly. \"The wine's just fine. The glass, on the other hand, is quite special.\"\n\"What are you going to do to me?\"\nI smiled, letting her question hang in the air for a moment. I could almost hear her heart racing. \"A deal's a deal, sweetie. I'll do whatever I want. And right now, I just want to watch.\" And I did.\nHer breasts filled, lifting and rounding as they strained against her top. With each heaving breath they rose, then fell, but not quite down to where they'd been a moment before. More and more of her midriff came into view as her burgeoning bosom lifted her shirt. Gaps appeared between her buttons, offering tantalizing peeks at her deliciously swelling flesh. Her breasts approached the size of volleyballs, and she pressed her hands down into them. I don't know if she was trying to squeeze the air out of herself, or if she was just checking to see if this was really happening. She gasped as her fingers sank into her pillowy front. Eyes wide as saucers, she looked to me for help.\n\"How do you stop this?\"\n\"I can't,\" I replied shrugging.\nHer voice rose almost to a squeak. \"What you mean you ca-- aaaaaahhhhh!\" She arched her back as the pressure inside her redoubled, causing her chest to surge forward. She tried to cover herself, but she could no longer reach around her expansive bust.. And though she'd lost sight of her lower body, I'm sure she could feel her legs and buttocks starting to plump up as surely as I could see it. Her hips stretched wider, as though they were envious of her torso and didn't want to miss out on the fun. The swelling crept steadily down the length of her shapely legs, their entire length bloating with gas all the way down to her ankles. \"No -- too -- much...\" she gasped.\n\"Don't worry, that's just your clothes getting tight. The spell makes them a bit more stretchy, but there's only so much they can take.\" I was beaming at my handiwork.\n\"Make it stop...I'll burst,\" she begged.\nBy now her shirt had crept up quite a bit, exposing the bottoms of her breasts. I reached over and gently squeezed one of her fleshy mounds. \"You've still got plenty of stretch left in you. I don't know about those pants, though.\" I looked down at her legs, which were being pushed apart by her growing thighs. \"Besides, my dear Holly,\" I murmured as I slipped an arm around her slender waist, \"do you really think I'd I have you come halfway around the world just to pop you in my living room?\"\n\"Unnnhhh...\" Was the only response I got. She was still inflating, the gaps between her buttons were wide enough to stick a hand through, and all over her clothes were stretched thin enough that the tone of her skin was starting to show through.\n\"Shhh...\" I whispered into her ear. \"Stay calm. It's all right.\" I stood up from the couch. There wouldn't be enough room for two much longer anyway. Leaning over her expanding bulk I pressed a soft kiss to her trembling lips. Her face stiffened at my touch, then softened as her mouth melted into mine. \"Don't worry. Those clothes feel tight now, but they won't be a problem for much longer.\"\nAs though they heard my words, the buttons on her blouse began to give. One by one, they snapped off, flying across the room, bouncing off the far wall. With each popped, Holly gasped, more and more of her bosom heaving out into the open air. The last button gave way, leaving her top in tatters. The color rose in her cheeks as she stared breathlessly at me. We gazed into each others eyes, silent. The only sounds that met our ears was the soft hissing of the gas rising within her, now causing her belly to swell and the slow ripping of the seams in her pants.\nMy grin grew wider as her arms began to straighten of their own accord. They were filling now, and as much as Holly tried she could no longer bend them. With a loud rending of cloth, her pants split up the sides, falling into a ruined pile about her fattening legs. Her entire body was swelling faster now, the huge balloon of her belly dominating her figure. \"How big will I get?\" she gasped. Surely she could feel she was inflating faster.\n\"Bigger.\" Her arms and legs stuck out stiffly from her body. She was all bulges and swells now, plump, stubby limbs protruding from a steadily expanding globe that was gradually absorbing them. Her breasts, large taut orbs a short while ago, were being stretched out into hemispheres across her widening chest.\n\"How much bigger?\" she sked, the faintest hint of a hopeful smile sneaking onto her face.\n\"Much.\" I ran my hand across the tightening skin of her belly. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back, moaning softly. I carefully rolled her off of the couch into the middle of the room. And still, she swelled.\nI saw her lick her lips as she took in the sensations of it all. What must it be like, feeling your body pushed out from within, filling with pressure, stretching, straining to be bigger? I suppose I should try it myself sometime, but then I'd miss most of the view.\nAt it's peak, the curve of her body rose higher than my head, and was still rising. The last of her arms disappeared into her torso, leaving just a pair of dainty looking hands protruding. Her body looked like a huge-flesh-toned balloon. I pressed my fingers into her, and they sank in only a few inches before the pressure inside her matched my efforts.\n\"I feel -- so -- full,\" she moaned.\n\"That's because you are,\" I smirked. \"You'll know when it's done.\"\n\"How?\" Then her eyes snapped open wide. Her cheeks were puffing up.\n\"Your timing is impeccable.\" Her hands began to fill as well, slender fingers plumping up like overstuffed sausages. Her face grew rounder, even her lips taking in air and swelling to a luscious fullness. Her palms bulged out, each hand becoming grapefruit-sized ball with five little nubs poking out. All across her entire body, the pressure was mounting. Holly's skin was pulled out shiny and strained, and she found herself squinting over her swollen cheeks.\nThe fear showed only her eyes, as the rest of her was completely immobile. We both heard it, the soft groaning of overtaxed rubber emanating from her. The sound grew louder, her entire body quiver as she tried to struggle to somehow fight it. She stared intently at me, her breath coming in ragged, terrified gasps. \"Make it stop, I'm gonna explode!\" she squeaked.\n\"Sssh.\" I touched my finger to invitingly plump lips. She was quiet. \"Listen.\" The hissing had stopped. She heaved a sigh of relief. \"To think, you didn't believe in magic.\"\n\"Okay, okay, I'm a believer now,\" she said, her words slightly impeded by her inflated lips. \"So now what you going to do with me?\"\nI pressed my body up against hers, reaching my arms about as best I was able, rubbing my entire self against her. I murmured into her ear, \"Whatever I want.\"\n" } ]

However I decided that I will upload it as otherwise I will never feel that I am 'done'.\n\n---\n\n\"So what should the first training be?\" Lisa asked. \"She needs to learn to last longer.\" Kara sighed, \"I want her to knot me and for me to climax before she finishes.\" \"Wow...didn't expect you to have a thing for your cousins cock.\" May laughed as she was pushed by Kara, \"Hey I'm not disagreeing, I would enjoy being able to ride the kitten for hours at a time.\" \"Okay, though I wish you both would focus abit more on...well...her vagina. I mean its odd seeing my two girlfriends, who until this moment had been railing on guys, suddenly being crazy for cock.\" Lisa's words making May and Kara look at each other, then toward Reia, who was currently eating cereal and watching cartoons. \"Your right.\" Kara sighed. \"Crazy idea, lets see what she wants to do.\" May stated. \"What?\" \"Look she's a young kitten fox, she's possibly confused. If we just start fucking her like crazy...well I don't particularly want to find out we turned the fairly innocent girl into a sex fiend.\" \"And what do you purpose we do? Take her out on the town, play games.\" \"Actually...yes. I say we 'date' her, make her understand that every things not all sex sex sex. I mean Kara has her license so she can drive us to town. Don't tell me you two forgot what we used to do before we became the sex fiends we are today.\" Kara and Lisa looked at one another before sighing, \"Fine, but your paying for it.\"\n\nMay shrugged before walking over and sitting next to Reia. \"Hey, did you want to go do some things in town?\" \"Things?\" \"Yea, I was thinking we could take you on dates, show you what true girlfriends do together. What fun th...\" May was muffled by a pounce from Reia, rapid kisses and happy meows coming from Reia, \"Yay\\~\" She giggled, ignoring the giggles coming from Lisa and Kara who were starting to wonder if May's plan would even work...cause the girl was rock hard and moist.\n\nAfter a quick bath, the four dressed then went down the stairs until they arrived at Kara's parents. Knocking on the door Kara smiled as her dad answered the door. \"Hi daddy, can we borrow the car? We want to go to the city today.\" Kara's father was a bright orange fox, he wasn't nocturnal like Kara's mother but he did prefer night time, one of the effects of marrying a raccoon, so he also looked tired and fairly annoyed at being woken up. \"Thank you daddy.\" Kara giggled as she took the keys and ran over to the garage. There was three vehicles, a sports car which belonged to Kara's mother, an old military jeep her father 'saved' from a junkyard and restored, and an old metal car that her father also restored. The car looked like a junker, rusty, metal, all the paint had been long since stripped away by the elements. However under the hood, the undercarriage, and the interior itself was completely restored, infact the only thing that wasn't restored on the vehicle was the body. One good thing about this old car was that it was wide enough that the four girls could all sit up front, which was good cause none of the girls could agree who was sitting in back.\n\nMay adjusted herself and sat Reia in her lap, which confused the girl who had gotten comfortable sitting between May and Kara. A light 'eep' escaped from Reias lips when her shorts were removed and top was tugged up over her head. May cupped Reias small breasts, massaging them, her middle and ring fingers trapping the girls nipples as she massaged and teased. The girl moaning out allowing herself to be kissed repeatedly from behind. Lisa then reached down and started to trace up and down Reia's slit, occasionally slipping down to tease May's who decided to wear one of Lisa's skirts but no panties. \"Ahhh...are y...you sure...we sh...should...\" \"Don't worry Reia, no one will notice.\" Kara stated as she wrapped one hand around Reia's member and started to stroke. Kara, May and Lisa thinking, 'and if anyone does notice, we won't care.'\n\n\"Fffuahh...\" Reia panted, she was finding it extremely difficult to keep her eyes open when her body was being faced with all this pleasure. Kara was jerking her off, she could feel her pre coating her cousins hand. May was targeting her breasts, she was almost positive she could feel her milk though she wasn't completely sure. Lisa was laying down some, one hand with two fingers in her slit, thumb rubbing her clit, an electrical feeling passing through the fingers and into her filling her up. She could feel another hand under her doing the same to May, which was also driving her crazy cause it was making May breath extra heavy against her neck. May gave a loud purr when Reia came, her seed shooting up and hitting the ceiling, one extremely long strand connecting her member to the ceiling, another burst separating it and connecting the strand to the radio. Reia giving a weak squeal as she sprayed again hitting the windshield then dashboard. Then the young girl whined before screaming out as she had a vaginal orgasm also. Relaxing Reia started to give light moans, heavily purring as the three continued their assault.\n\n\"We should really clean this up.\" May stated, petting Reia who was laying on both her and Lisa's lap, though that was only because she was holding the girl in a curled position else she accidentally disturb Kara. \"Yea, before it drys and my dad gets...more than a little suspicious.\" Kara giggled as she stopped by a fast food place, ordered some food for them all and asked for extra napkins. The guy who gave her their food spending more than just a little bit looking at the sleeping naked Reia. \"Ah-hem. Food please.\" \"Here, clean everything up, I'll make sure to clean everything again later to get rid of stains and such.\" Kara handed May some napkins as she drove off. Though when she stopped for gas she also picked up some condoms.\n\n\"So where would you like to go first?\" Kara asked as Reia woke up. \"Arcade.\" Reia yipped happily, however quickly became confused when she was sat up. \"Hi?\" May giggled and kissed Reia, \"Hi. I'm going to put something on you, I want you to wear it all day.\" May held out the condom, already removed from its wrapping. \"Kay...what is it?\" \"Let me show you.\" Slowly May opened the condom up and started to guide Reia's length into it, a light purring coming from Reia as her member was being touched and caressed, though a few a few moments it disappeared. \"I don't like this, it dulls what I feel.\" \"Please wear it. It will stop any more messes from happening.\" Crossing her arms Reia mumbled to herself before starting to giggle as she was tickled, \"Wear it for us.\"\n\n\"Hmm...so this is an arcade...\" Lisa looked around, lots of arcade cabinets, a dance machine, some fake bikes and cars. \"Yea, its a place where you have non-sexual fun. Play lots of games. Interact with people in non sexual ways.\" May laughed as she ran past, Reia quickly following, both making it to a car game and getting into the car to play. \"Sounds boring.\" Lisa looked toward Kara before feeling herself pulled along. \"There is some sexual things we can do here.\" Kara stated as she climbed onto one of the bikes then patted the seat in front of her. \"For instance, I can finger you while you drive this bike.\"\n\n\"Yay\\~ I win!\" Reia giggled and danced, \"You lost.\" She skipped off toward one of the gun arcade games and started to shoot at zombies. The arcade had a fair number of people within, so May was sticking fairly close to Reia, however she couldn't help but shake her head when she noticed that Kara was pulling Lisa toward the back room. \"You both just can't stop for five minutes.\" She sighed.\n\n\"May?!\" May nearly hit the ceiling when she heard the young squeal then felt arms around her waist. Reia had also turned around when she heard the squeal, but was now standing there, a blush steadily growing on her cheeks. \"You have got to be shitting me.\" May grumbled seeing Reia's blush visible even over her fur. \"Hey, mommy said not to say things like that.\" Patting the girl on her head May looked down toward the purple kitten locked on her waist. \"Yea mom says a lot of things. What are you doing here?\" \"Buying stuff with my birthday money. What are you doing here?\" \"Playing games with a friend.\" The kitten looked toward Reia before giggling, \"She's broken, I think I see drool. Whats her name?\" \"Reia.\"\n\nReia was snapped out of her stupor when the purple kitten bounced in front of her and hugged her, \"Hello Reia. My name is Alissaria, but I prefer Lix. Do you want to be my friend?\" Slowly Reia's arms went around Lix and she squeezed some, she thought about saying, 'Yes, I would love to be your friend.' however the words that came out was closer to, \"Yuhguffuah.\" \"Your friend is funny. I'm going to go buy stuff before daddy realizes I'm not next to him. Bye Reia.\" As soon as her little sister was out of sight May slapped Reia in the back of the head, \"You do NOT have a crush on my little sister. I can't have you coming over to my house and wanting to plow her, she's not even old enough to be thinking about that stuff.\" \"Coming over your house?\" Reia glared at May rubbing the back of her head, \"Besides your sister is very cute...\" May slapped her on the back of the head again before going off to find Lisa and Kara, which wasn't hard as they were the ones being thrown out of the back room. \"Lets go, my sis and apparently father is here. Reia has a crush on Lix and I'm getting a headache from the annoyance of it.\" \"To be fair your sister is twelve so she...\" \"She's not old enough for sex Lisa, lets go.\" \"Um wheres Reia?\"\n\n\"Hi...\" Reia giggled as she made the purple kitten yelp and trip over a display case holding a bunch of CDs. \"You okay?\" Lix whined as she stood up before giggling when she saw Reia. \"Hi weird girl.\" \"Yea...is the offer of being a friend still on the table?\" \"Yup.\" Lix hummed as she picked up a CD and skipped over to the cashier. Reia followed Lix as the girl paid then skipped out of the shop.\n\nLix looked like a small May, except there was a few rather cute differences. May was flat purple, well except her dyed hair and her white chest, Lix however had several dashes of brown dark spots that made her look like a leopard. She had bright green eyes, and a V shaped cut in her left ear. She stood about an inch shorter than Reia, was constantly smiling, and was currently wearing a rather cute dress with a kitten trying to climb up the back, looking like the kitten was standing on Lix' tail. The tail itself was bent in two places, sharp bends which if it wasn't wagging constantly would probably make it resemble a Z.\n\n\"So, how do you know sis?\" \"I'm a cousin of her friend.\" Lix looked toward Reia before giggling, \"You keep blushing, why?\" Rubbing her cheeks Reia gave a weak smile before saying, \"Um...do you know what boyfriends and girlfriends are?\" \"Sure, mommy and daddy says boyfriends are people I shouldn't get until I'm twenty five.\" \"And girlfriends?\" Lix shook her head, \"Girlfriends are friends who are girls.\" \"Um...not really. I mean 'girlfriends'. Um...like dating.\" Lix stopped and looked toward Reia, staring at her before smiling, \"Like mommy and daddy things? Marrying, having a home, being a mommy and daddy.\" \"Yes...except what you do before that, get to know one another, hang out, kiss...\" \"Kiss\\~\" Lix hummed and swooned some before kissing Reia then giggling as she skipped into a toy store, Reia quickly following.\n\nReia watched as Lix picked out various stuffed animals and toys, some of which she wound up leaving on the floor after being bored with them. The pair started to giggle as they began to play with some of the toys and stuffed animals. \"Alissaria!\" A loud voice boomed from the entrance of the store. \"How many times do I have to tell you to stay by my side?\" \"Hi daddy, I was just playing with my girlfriend. Reia, this is my daddy.\" Reia retracted away as the tall imposing leopard looked toward her, he was tall enough to easily reach the top shelf and, in the young kittens mind, had the musculature to pick it up. \"Come, we are late for picking your mother up.\" He took Lix' arm and started to take her out, paying for her toys before leaving.\n\n\"Cute.\" Kara sighed as she entered the store. Reia hugged her cousin, \"Yes she is.\" \"Reia...\" \"Hmm?\" \"We should probably go.\" \"Why?\" \"Because I think your perverted imagination has caused you to fill that condom, I can feel it in your shorts.\" Reia shifted her legs some before giving a weak, \"Oh.\" She could feel the full balloon against her legs." } ]

At the time that the memory had been created, his interest had been piqued by the chance to see an old flame. He hadn't seen Suzie since they were teenagers. Now that he had graduated medical school and had start his surgical practice, her possibly coming back into his life was a pleasant surprise. Those old-school feelings of his first girl-crush bubbled up when she had somehow found his phone number and called him. That had led them to the infamously disastrous dinner date, where Michael had almost lost Suzie again.\nThe event had ended up being a catalyst to a great relationship. That was what his mind wanted to relive.\nThey sat across the table from each other, reminiscing about their teenaged love of many years ago, and filling in the blanks to each other as to the direction life had taken them gone since those days of yesteryear. Suzie told him about her schooling in fashion design, which had brought her back to their hometown for this chance meeting, and Michael telling her about medical school and the recent opening of him plastic surgery practice. She joked with him about his teenaged fascination with breasts, and how this new career would let him play with and alter as many of them as he wanted. She reminded him of the day he had taken her to the local fair, when afterwards teenaged Suzie had stuffed helium balloons into her shirt and admitted that she eventually wanted boobs the size of those balloons. They had roll-played with each other, imagining her real breasts blowing up like balloons until they had become so big that the helium inside them had caused her to float, and how Michael had to catch her before she flew away. It was then that his fascination with breasts had added the word 'inflatable' to his vernacular, and the obsession had led to the discovery of his 'special power'.\nHe could make women's breasts inflate with the power of his mind, and he used that power as part of his body-sculpting medical practice. Suzie didn't believe him at first, daring him to make her breasts 'blow up' in an effort to expose him as a fraud. But when her chest began to rise and expand, she became an instant believer. Though the demonstration of his power was very convincing, it took a bad turn and went comically, embarrassingly wrong. It was the single time since his college days that his control of the power had slipped, and Michael watched helplessly as Suzie's boobs inflated out of control in the middle of the restaurant, bursting out of her blouse as onlookers watched. When they tried to escape, she had blown up so big that her breasts, like twin blimps, had pulled her off the ground and she floated to the ceiling. Later, Michael had succeeded in pulling her down and getting her over to his medical clinic and was able to deflate her back to her original size. Most girls would have panicked and run from such an event. Suzie laughed it off and stuck around, and now, a year later, they were married and sharing a home. The memory centered on the conversation they were having during that dinner, just before the inflation started. \"Do you ever think about that day, after the fair...\", Suzie had asked. \"When you stuck those balloons under your shirt and pretended that they were your real breasts, and then you made me think I was inflating them?\" Michael finished for her. \"You could say that I have thought about that day a little too often.\" \"It must have left quite an impression,\" Suzie commented coyly. \"You might say the experience influenced me to go down the career path I have chosen,\" Michael explained. \"You helped me discover a potential within me that since then I have tried to shape into something I can use in my career field.\" \"I influenced you,\" she queried, chortling. \"By putting balloons in my shirt? And because of that, you will be able to turn other women's boobs into giant beach balls as a plastic surgeon?\" \"In a way, yes,\" he answered calmly. Michael noticed the couple at the next table looking skeptically over at them, and chose to ignore the probing stares. \"But, do you remember what you told me, how you described why your breasts were inflating that day?\" Suzie thought for a moment. \"Yes,\" she said stoically, \"I told you that you had some strange, mystical power that caused women's breasts to inflate like helium balloons. Why do you ask?\" \"Because it came true.\" \"What came true?\" she repeated, cocking an eyebrow. Michael lowered his voice. \"It is some kind of mental discipline, like telepathy or telekinesis. If I concentrate hard enough, I can make your breasts grow.\" Suzie dropped her napkin. This was not the kind of date she had planned for. \"Are you messing with me? Because if you are, I am not impressed.\" Michael leaned a little closer. \"Think about it. Breast augmentation without silicon or sutures. The potential money I can make is astounding. I just need the schooling to get the license to do the work.\" Suzie looked away; making sure that the intrusive couple next to them was not hearing this incredible work of fiction. Then she decided to play along. \"So, you are telling me that all you have to do is think real hard about a certain woman's breasts, and they blow up like a pair of balloons.\" \"Yes,\" he answered, a look of seriousness in his eyes. She leaned toward him. \"Could you inflate me?\" Suzie asked softly, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. \"As you can see, I didn't exactly grow up to match the size of those balloons I stuffed into my shirt that day. I could use the help.\" \"What, right here?\" he questioned. \"Right now?\" \"Why not?\" Suzie countered, wanting to see just how far his charade would go. \"Or doesn't your secret power work in public places?\" Michael hesitated. \"If that is what it would take for you to believe me, I'll do it.\" Suzie's taunting grin spread even wider. \"Go ahead, make my day.\"It was at this point, though, that the true memory ended, and the nightmare began. Michael began concentrating, willing his power into action. Suzie gasped, feeling her breasts expand inside her shirt, just as he had predicted. But they were blowing up much faster this time. \"Whoa, slow it down, Mister Goodyear. You've convinced me. Now make it stop before my blimps bust out of my blouse,\" she demanded, discreetly. Too late, her top button snapped and went flying across the dining room. \"I said 'make it stop'!\" she said more loudly. Several people around them turned to look as the next set of straining buttons popped in succession, breast flesh pushing through the widening gap and up under her chin. Michael, still in his self-induced trance, was oblivious to what she was saying. And neither one of them heard the startled gasps and expressions of surprise as the range of his power began to widen and spread to neighboring tables. Starting with the couples sitting closest to them, every woman in the room started to inflate. By this time, Suzie's bra clasps had given up the fight and had exploded across the table into Michael's face. Her shirt hung in tatters as her breasts began to float upward, obscuring her vision. \"Hey, Doctor Frankenstein, wake up!\" she yelled, flinging a spoon at him, striking the dazed man in the forehead and breaking his concentration. \"Look what you've done to me!\" she screamed. \"And look around and see what the lack of control of you power has done to everyone else.\"Michael, feeling like he was just waking from a dream, could do nothing but watch as Suzie expanded more. His body felt like lead, heavy and unmovable as he tried in vain to reach for her as she floated out of her seat, dragged skyward by her boob balloons. Then he looked to her left and saw that several other women were experiencing the same effect, with their breasts inflating under their fancy formal gowns and cocktail dresses. The air was filled with the sound of the steady hissing of inflating balloons and ripping fabric, while the men sat immobile, helplessly watching their women floating upward toward the high ceiling and away from them. The women screamed and kicked their startled rage as they slowly ascended, while Michael could only watch in stunned horror at the spectacle he created. They bumped into each other, bouncing in all directions as the women settled among the florescent ceiling lights with a sound not unlike a clutch of balloons fighting for space at the end of a single tether. Suzie, though, had not risen to the heights like the others. She seemed to be suspended in the air, half-way between the floor and the ceiling, slowly rotating like a balloon on a string. Her helium tits pointing straight up, she had to turn her head sideways in order to face him. \"Michael!\" she called to him \"Babe! He looked up at her. \"When it is convenient, would you mind getting yourself under control and deflating all of us?!\" she exclaimed. \"I'm sure we would all like to be on the ground in the next day or two!\"Michael's eyelids became heavy, his reaction slow. \"But I can't,\" he mumbled. \"I don't have control of my power.\"Suzie glared, the other women begging for help above her. \"Listen, mister. You have better wake up right now and get control of yourself, and get us down!\"Instead, Michael closed his eyes, and slumping, laid his head on the table. \"Maybe later,\" he said, his speech slurring. \"I'm too tired right now.\"Angrily, Suzie flailed her arms and legs in the air. \"Babe!\" she screamed, trying to keep his attention. \"Wake up!\"Babe...Wake up...Wake up...Michael sat up with a gasp. He was back in his bedroom at home, the afternoon sun streaming in through the window in the far wall. He shook his head to clear the cobwebs of sleep from it, and dwelled on the imagery of the bazaar dream he had just awakened from. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, and he and Suzie had laid down for a short nap less than an hour before. He turned and noticed that Suzie was no longer in bed with him. He stretched and yawned, rubbing the sleep from his eyes before rising from the bed, going to look for his wife.That was when he bumped his head into a pair of dangling feet. His eyes followed the feet up the long legs to where they met at a pair of black lace panties that covered a shapely, recognizable ass. Gazing up further, he could see two arms protruding from either side of two massive domes of tit flesh that were topped by overstretched nipples that were brushing the bedroom ceiling. Suzie's face was hidden behind her helium-filled mounds, but he could hear her voice just fine. Exasperated, she spoke with a forced calm between clenched teeth. \"When it is convenient, would you mind getting yourself under control and deflating me?\" she said, hands grasping the rounded sides of her weather balloon-sized breasts. \"This is getting a little old. This is the second time this week, and the fourth time in a month that I have woken up being tits-up on the ceiling.\"Flushing, he rasped \"I'm am SO sorry!\" as he grabbed her ankles and tried to pull her down. Suzie was too buoyant, pinned to the ceiling by her flesh balloons, his weight unable to pull her from the height. \"Give me a minute,\" he mumbled, settling to the side of the bed, and, concentrating, issued a mental command. There was an audible release of pressure, like a tire loosing air, and Suzie slowly began to shrink and descend. When she was able to touch the carpeted floor, she maneuvered herself over next to her husband, her still slightly inflated boobs bobbing up and down as she moved. She put a reassuring hand on his, placing the other arm across the top of her bloated tits and pushing them down so she could talk without the floating obstructions in her way. \"You were dreaming about our first time again, weren't you?\" \"Yes,\" Michael answered, abashed.\"Then you need to extent your control into your dreams, apparently,\" she sighed. \"Every time you dream about that, I end up waking up and finding myself floating under a pair of skin blimps. Honestly, my nipples are sore from rubbing the ceiling tiles!\"Michael hung his head. \"Alright, I'll see what I can do,\" he said, humbled.Suzie snuggled up close to him. \"I'll tell you what. You can blow me up again later. I love the feel of these helium hooters getting bigger and bigger, but I prefer to be awake for it.\" She leaned in and whispered seductively in his ear. \"And maybe we can figure out how you can ride your balloon girl and have a little floating fun...\"That sent a tremble of excitement through him. Michael had always wanted to try sex in zero gravity, and that would be the closest to it. \"Deal,\" he whispered back, placing a hand on an inflated mammary and gently squeezing.\n" } ]

He searched for a long time trying to escape the darkness until he turned to see a small light as he ran towards it. He hoped it would be the way out of this dark land but it was not to be so as Rachel the girl who had \"helped\" him in the bathroom that night stood in his way. She then began to growl as she grew to an enormous size as her eyes glowed red and fire began to pour from her mouth.\n\n\"Your my slave now....my pet.....my toy\" she said as she reached her giant hand towards him when Silver began to run the other way just to be grabbed by her and brought up to her face.\n\n\"Give yourself to me and be free forever my cutie pie!\" she had said before she threw Silver into her mouth of flame as he tried to scream but couldn't. In a giant gasp he awoke to find himself back in the room in which he first woke into this new world. But he wasn't alone because beside the bed was Emma wrapped up in the arms of her sister Victoria as they seemed to be there for a while as he brought his hand up to his forehead as he again gasped and looked at his right arm. Silver found that his arm showed no form of ever changing into what he had seen that night. He then sighed as he felt his stomach as he was very hungry because the fact was that he really didn't get to eat all that much.\n\nSilver carefully got out of the bed as not to wake the girls as he slowly began to walk out of the room but he stopped and looked at Victoria then continued to go to the kitchen as he looked around then found the fridge when he opened it and began to look around when he found a bottle of water which he drank with much thirst but he was hungry most of all. He smiled when he found some sandwich meat and then raised his head to see some bread on the counter.\n\nHe grabbed the meat and walked over to the counter and removed two slices of bread and then set them down and made his sandwich. He put everything away and took a bite of his sandwich, which brought him much ease. As he walked back to the room he stopped to see a picture on the wall as he stopped to look at it. The picture was of Victoria and her family that made Silver feel very sad and empty. He began to think about if he even had parents out there looking for him or any kind of family as he felt a hole inside him until Victoria came out of the room.\n\n\"Silver whats the matter?\" she asked as she got closer to him noticing he was looking at their family picture and then she began to understand.\n\n\"Well...I just...I don't know if I have any family...I might be all alone and I would never know..I just can't remember and it's starting to eat me up\" he said as he sighed only to have his ears twitch when Victoria placed her hand on his shoulder.\n\n\"Silver its as my mother says we help all in need and the best medicine is to have people who care...so what I'm saying is that we will be your family until you regain your memory\" she said with a soft but re-enforcing smile. Silver smiled as she then removed her hand and lead him back to the room as he sat back down in the bed and finished his sandwich as he looked to her and watched as she took Emma to her room to sleep. He began to think about many things until Victoria came back.\n\n\"Victoria uhh what happened last night?\" he asked as she looked to him with a look like she didn't even know herself.\n\n\"Well you saved us Silver if not for you that gang would've kidnapped and raped us until we were no good to them anymore...but you did scare us a little when you killed that man and went kinda crazy and knocked yourself out\" she said not knowing what else to say as he nodded.\n\n\"Well at least everyone is alright...but now I'm scared of what I am\" he said as Victoria looked away for a second and then smiled\n\n\"Don't worry you did save us and we all thank you for it so to thank you me and Lana want to take you to lunch in an hour so go get a shower in the bathroom and then I'll get some clothes for you\" she said as she jumped up and left the room when Silver looked over to the bathroom and then decided he really needed a bath. He got up and walked to the bathroom and walked in he then took off his clothes and put them in the hamper when he started the shower. Silver examined himself as though it was the first time looking at himself until he started to undo the bandages on his head to reveal a half healed wound on the back of his neck and on the side of his head where they cut into his head to remove the bullet. Silver smiled slightly and walked into the shower and to him if felt so good he moaned some in the pleasure he got from the warm water running over his body when he reached over and grabbed the shampoo and began to wash.\n\nHe finished a few minutes later as he felt so refreshed as he got out of the shower he then walked out and looked around for Victoria to make sure she didn't see him as he exited. He saw his clothes and like that way they looked because they were really nice blue jeans and a shirt with the Japanese symbol of strength on it as he slipped it on with a smile and finished dressing. He walked out and looked for Victoria as he was ready to go but Victoria had been taking a while. Silver decided to go see if everything was alright as he opened the door to Victoria's room.\n\n\"Hello...Victoria I'm done getting dressed and I'm ready to go\" he said to find that she wasn't there. He began to panic some as he began to think until he gasped and ran to Emma's room. He pushed opened the door to find she was gone but a not with blood on it was laying on the bed as he picked it up and read it.\n\n\"Were going to get revenge on you for what you have done...if you want the girls back alive come alone to the warehouse in the industrial district and I heard you have a strange power your going to need it because after we get done with you, your going to die and then we will let your girlfriend and her sister leave alive\" he dropped the note and looked outside the window and then grabbed his head as he didn't even know how to use that power it was just by accident.\n\nTwo hours later he arrive out of breath from running all the way as two guards stepped out with metal bats. Silver watched them as he came closer but they didn't attack they just let him pass into the dare warehouse. Only one light could be seen in the middle of the room as Victoria was tied up hanging from a rope in the roof.\n\n\"Victoria!!\" Silver yelled as several men blocked his way hitting him in the head with a metal object as he gripped his head to see one wolf standing beside Victoria.\n\n\"Well you came...what a fool but you came just in time to watch me deflower your girlfriend here\" he said as he ripped her shirt down the middle to show her bra as Victoria screamed only to be gagged and her shorts removed as the wolf laughed as she squirmed.\n\n\"You bastard let her go she didn't do anything....And where's Emma?!?\" Silver said with anger to his words as the wolf just laughed.\n\n\"Oh you mean the other girl...the little one well I tried to decide if I should just let the guys mess her up on the inside or just to leave her to cry and piss her pants\" he laughed loud as the others began to laugh with him. The wolf had pulled a knife from his back pocket and pulled Victoria's panties out just to cut them off.\n\n\"Aww man she has bush and a lot of it...I guess I'll have my old bitch make her the way I want her as I take care of you\" he said when he snapped his finger and a Doberman walked from the shadows with a razor blade. She then bent down as rubbed her finger across Victoria's clit making her shake as she roughly slid the razor cutting her hair and her skin which made her begin to cry.\n\n\"Victoria I'll save you I swear!\" he said only to find a fist hit his face sending him falling backward only to catch himself. The wolf that had been next to Victoria trying to have his way with her found himself in front of Silver.\n\n\"Are you kidding me...This piece of shit kill my brother and beat all our men its just not possible\" he said becoming very angry then following his anger with another punch to Silver's face making his nose bleed. Silver fell to the ground as he became very dizzy as he saw that the Doberman had finished shaving poor Victoria. The wolf sent another punch to Silver's face smashing into his cheek as it instantly began to bruise.\n\n\"Come on use that power that killed my brother why don't you!\" Another punch hit Silver as this one cut open the side of his face making the blood splatter on fur.\n\nSilver began to think \"I don't even know how to use it...but I have to save Victoria. She said were family and family doesn't let each other die!\" he then became silent as the wolf spit on him.\n\n\"Just kill him he's not fun...I'll just have fun with his girlfriend\" he turned towards Victoria as the Doberman cut her once more right above her clit to make it painful as her blood dripped down onto the ground as she was shaking. The other men raised their bats and pipes as they sent them towards Silver's head all at once trying to kill him as time stood still. Silver began to think about how he had down it before how he made his arm metal and saved the girls he was scared about doing it again but he had to as he let out a scream and raised his hand to block his head.\n\nIn a moment his arm was like the night before made of pure metal as Silver threw all the bats and pipes off him. Silver stood slowly as the other guys backed away at what they had just seen. The wolf stopped and turned around and was amazed at what he saw. Silver began to hyperventilate as he grinded his teeth and ran forward towards the wolf. But he was blocked off by all the other men who had started to bombard him with their weapons again. He couldn't block them all as he got hit from all sides but he got a few punches in sending a few men to the opposite side of the room. Silver was aching all over from getting attack as he needed more power in order to save Victoria as the wolf leader just laughed. Silver became enraged as he began to see the leader laughing as he was so serious.\n\nSilver disappeared behind several guys hammering him to the ground but then they all stopped and stepped away as Silver's normal flesh not longer was there but replaced by the full-mechanized suit Red Runner. The leader gasped as Silver rose and began to growl.\n\n\"You wanted me to get angry...now you have it and your turning out to be a pussy about IT\" Silver screamed as he punched a man sending him flying past the wolf as her froze. The other men began to fight against Silver but to no avail as he plowed right through them to the leader still frozen. Silver looked at him then grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air.\n\n\"I think I owe you some bruises for the hits you gave me...and for taking people against their will!\" he said as he lifted his arm and punched the leader five times within the second knocking him out immediately.\n\n\"What a pussy only five punches\" he said as he threw him to the group of men as they caught him.\n\n\"Tell him if he ever wakes up if he does something like this again I will kill him and that will be the end of your gang\" The men listened and nodded as they were all very scared. They carried off their leader and all they're wounded as Silver walked over to Victoria who was wide eyed at what she had just seem.\n\n\"It's me Victoria...its Silver...don't ask how because I don't know either but all I know is that this power I can control will be used to fight against people like them\" he said as he pulled the rope clean off from the roof and returned to normal as he took off his shirt and gave it to Victoria as he went into the back. Seconds later he returned with Emma in his arms out cold.\n\n\"Lets go Victoria...and I know its embarrassing but are you alright..down there\" he asked as Victoria blushed slightly and nodded. Silver then began to walk by Victoria as they made their way home.\n\n\"I don't remember much but I do know this...the power I have is not something for me to fear...but all my enemies to...and I swear to protect my new family....and you..... Victoria..\"\n\n(There's number three everyone hope you like it!)" } ]

The first was a forward he hated doing, and the second just made no sense so he deleted them both. (and now what most have been waiting for)...His name is Robert Hoodspaw. Robert is a 5'8\" black and white husky, with a fuzzy tail. He's a young and stupid, but a little emo. His passion was to skateboard... but he was never good at it.\n\n(A week later :D)\n\nHe was driving his Chevy Nova which was blacked out, with an 18' sub with 15' speakers.His mother didn't let him blast his music on the way to Foxtrot U. which pissed him off.\n\n\"So have you talked to Lucas lately?\" his mother asked.\n\n\"No mom.\"said Robert.\n\nLucas was Robert's ex of a couple years. They were still close to this day, even after the break up.\n\n\"Haves you texted him lately?\" asked his mother.\n\n\"Yea, i did earlier.\" replied Robert.\n\n\"Ok.\" answered his mother.\n\nThey drove for eight hours till they finally got into Massachusetts. They walked up to the dorm house o.o thingy(you know what i mean). He had dorm B7. They walked up to the second floor and walked down the hall looking at the doors on each side. The even dorms were on the right, as were the odd on the left. They stopped on front of the door that read \"B7\" on it. There was a stapled piece of paper on the door. It has his name on it as well as his roommates.\n\nThey walked in carrying his clothes and computer, with everything else they had brought. The room was about 20\" by 20\" with two single bed and 2 desks along with lamps on each.He looked down at the Racoon sitting on one of the beds.\n\n\"Hi!\" said his mother.\n\n\"hey.\" he said.\n\n\"This is Robert, and I'm his mother\" (haha awkward turtle o.o inside joke)\n\nRobert just stayed quiet, until his roommate got up and held out his hand to him. Robert shook it smiling.\n\n\"Sup? I'm Daniel\" said the Raccoon.\n\n\"Hey...eh as you heard, I'm Robert\" said the husky.\n\n\" yea, its good bro\" said Daniel\n\nHis mother hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek then she walked out to his fathers car. His father drove behind them so that he could keep his car on campus. he has left his clothes in the clothes hamper he brought them in. Then he pulled out his laptop and put it on the desk. the boys sat a while talking about his Nova.\n\n(A couple of months later)\n\nHe wakes up without that annoying alarm clock buzzing in his ears. He was wondering why it wasn't going off. Then he looked at the clock in a puzzled way. It said that the time was 11:47 am. His class started at 11:30 and it took him a few seconds to realize it....\n\n\"Shit!\"\n\nHe knew he was late for his \"Ancient Egyptian History\" class which he hated in the first place. So he ran to his clothes and changed his shirt and put on a new pair of pants. Then he sprayed his body with his Axe and ran out the door, closing it on the way out. He got half way down the flight of stairs figureing out that he forgot his book. He ran back up a few stairs and seen Daniel blocking his path.\n\n\"Hey bro, forget something?\" Daniel asked holding his history book.\n\n\"Thanks dude.\" Robert said.\n\n\"No problem. Now get your ass to class!\" said Daniel\n\nRobert noded and ran back down the stairs to his car. Opened the drivers side door and sat in. He peeled out of the parking lot and pulled out his Marlboro's putting one to his lips and lighting it with his zippo.\n\nHe tried to slip into his class without making any noise(which never works xD), but Mr. Fontanna knew he walked in.\n\n\"Your late...again Mr. Hoodspaw.\" said his teacher.\n\n\"Yea, sorry sir.\" said Robert being a smart ass.\n\n\"No problem.\" said his teacher with a grin. \"Were on page 374, get to it before i decide to mark your grade down for this tardy.\"\n\n(after class)\n\nRobert was sitting on the hood of the Nova smoking a cigg when he seen this cute fox getting called a fag and having things thrown at him by some prick jocks. Robert gets in his car and hits a drag on his smoke. He drives over in front of the jocks squealing his tires from the sudden stop. he gets out of his car taking another drag of his smoke.

Then he hit the Doberman in the face and gripped his throat bending his back over his hood and taking the smoke in his other hand and shoving it in the Dobemans right eye. He screamed in pain as Robert twisted the cherry in the eye socket of the Doberman.\n\n\"Ahhggrrr...STOP!!! Please!!\" yelled the Doberman.\n\nRobert gripped the poor helpless dog by his throat and threw him on the ground. The pittbulls watched in amazement then ran at the husky. Robert quickly reached in his back seat and grabbed a wooden bat. The one pit threw a punch and hit Robert in the jaw busting his lip. Robert swung the bat right after and his the other pit in the ribs. Around this time their coach had ran up.\n\n\"Stop it right now or your ass's are off the fucking team.\" barked their coach.\n\nThey helped the doberman up and walked back to their practice.

They got out and walked over to the shore line. Robert kicked a rock . Then Blake kicked a rock hitting him in the leg as he giggled.\n\n\"Haha, you thought that was funny?\" said Robert\n\n\"Yea a lil\" replied the fox.\n\n\"Mhm...you wanna do somethin? asked Robert\n\n\"like what?\" asked Blake wagging his tail\n\n\"Do you see that platform about 40 yards out?\" asked Robert as he was taking off his shirt.\n\n\"Yea?\" Blake asked as he watched the husky undress.\n\n\"I bet I can beat you there.\" Robert said as he dropped his pants.\n\n\"Dought it!\" Blake said as he hurried to take his shirt off.\n\nReally now?

Blake got there first but hesitated to get onto it.\n\n\"shit...laugh it up cause you beat a smoker.\" yelled Robert about ten feet away from the platform.\n\nRobert finished swimming to the platform and got up on it. Then gave Blake a weird look.\n\n\"What are you doing?\" asked Robert while breathing deeply trying to catch his breath.\n\n\"Nothing....\"replied Blake as he lifted himself onto the platform. He sat a couple of feet away from Robert looking away from him blushing.\n\nRobert scooted close to the fox and looked at the stars. He then layed back. Blake looked over at the fur over his cock and blushed.\n\n\"Hey!\" said the husky grabbing Blake\"s shoulders and pulling him down beside him.\n\nBlake blushed and layed on the husky's damp chest fur.Robert licked the fox's headfur, and Blake looked up at the k-9. Robert slowly moved closer to the fox's lips and softly kissed them. Blake blushed brightly then closed his eyes kissing the husky slowly slipping his tongue in his maw. Their kiss was broke off by a spot light. it was a cop.\n\n\"Shit! Pigs! uhh... i forgot to menchin....we passed a couple of private property signs back there...\n\n\"What the fuck Robert?!\n\n\"Eh...\" he said shrugging \" but staying here yelling about it wont get our ass's out of here.\"\n\nThe two boys jumped into the lake and headed for shore. The cop sped up to try to block them off at the shore line.The two boys ran out of the watch and grabbed their clothes running towards the car. They jumped in and Robert started up the car then shifted it into reverse. He went the way they came in. The cops headlights were coming towards then he flashed the blue and red lights as Robert picked up speed.\n\n\"Robert, what the hell are you doing?! yelled Blake.\n\n\"Trust me...\" Robert said\n\n\".......\"(tha fox)\n\nBefore the cop hit them he turned quickly into a ditch to avoid any collision. At the same time Robert swerved the other way and shifted up just barely missing the read end on the cruiser. The cop tried to pull out after Robert passed him but he had ripped his front axel as he hit the ditch.\n\nThey drove to Blake's dorm and he parked. Blake got out of the car and slammed the door behind him. Robert got out and ran after him.\n\n\"Wait!\" said Robert running after him.\n\n\"What? I'm supposed to trust you when you almost got arrested or worse almost killed us?\" said Blake\n\n\"But we didn't...and you enjoyed yourself\" Robert said poking Blake's chest and belly.\n\n\"...I guess\" Blake said cracking a smile.\n\nThe husky slowly leaned forward, as the fox started to blush, and the boys kissed deeply under the full moon. :3" } ]

This time he did move but fall on his side off the sofa, knocked out on the ground.\n\nThe red Digimon with gold eyes slowly woke up, a groan coming from his lips as he say that Rena, who was now wearing a black shirt, Link was upside down to the Digimon, and Saira beside Rena.\n\n\"Are you alright?\" asked Link as he groaned sitting up.\n\n\"Saira...she...then...baby...?\"\n\n\"Wait what?\" Link turned to Saira with a upraised brow as she giggled softly.\n\n\"Gotcha,\" Guilmon shot his head over to her as she giggled. \"I told you I was gonna get you!\" Rena at once with Link burst into laughter as Guilmon gave the old confused look he use to give all the time.\n\n\"Wait what?!\" he almost screamed as Saira hugged him softly.\n\n\"I was only kidding,\" she admitted. \"I'm not with child. At least, not yet I hope.\" Guilmon gulped as Link laughed.\n\n\"Speaking of which,\" he held Rena with a arm. \"Guess we're having another Digimon and human around here soon.\"\n\n\"What do you...?\" Guilmon looked over at Rena then to her belly. \"You mean...?\" she nodded as Guilmon again fell back, he fainted again.\n\n\"This just in!\" Saira had flipped to the news as Guilmon laid still knocked out on her lap, Link and Rena had left some time ago to look for some things they would need for their soon to be baby. A man that seemed to have a bad case of a comb over, using his bread to go over his head was speaking. \"It seemed a Digimon had escaped from the Digital world prison. We envies' that any and all Tamer that are free to please come out to stop this monster. It seemed that this Digimon was the head leader of a kidnapping group that were of most female human, selling them or renting them as sex slaves!\" Saira heart stopped. She remembered when Link came home eight years ago that he told them that her grandmother was used as a sex slave, so this Digimon that was out, was the head of such a group. \"Sources tell us that the Digimon seems only to be after one human for reason we do not know, anyone who knows this man,\" he then showed a picture of the human on the screen. \"Please tell him that a threat is at large and to come to the Knight base for protection!\" Saira gasped causing Guilmon to wake up as he turned to the TV.\n\n\"Saira?\" he asked looking at her. \"Why is Link picture on the screen?\"\n\n\"Oh, what about this Link?\" Link looked over to see that Rena held up a light blue pair of PJ's that had 'momma boy' on the front.\n\n\"How do you know if it's a boy?\" asked Link raising a brow. Rena thought for a moment then nodded her head.\n\n\"True point there.\" She brought the clothing back down as the two looked around more. They were inside a mall, the baby shop, looking at everything they could for their coming child, as the Tamer Digivice started to glow slightly. Looking down Link saw it glow brighter and brighter as he heard the sound of scream and crashing. Both turning their heads to the front of the store, they saw a large yellow or orange lion Digimon throwing Humans and Digimon alike to the side, wearing black pants and a large blade in hand, he cut a human in the chest, making him cry out as he bled out; the human Digimon soon next as it was only turned to data.\n\n\"my god!\" cried Rena as Link dropped whatever he was holding.\n\n\"Rena,\" he cried. \"get everyone out of here, I'll take care of ugly here!\"\n\n\"What are you nuts?!\" she screamed. \"You can't fight something like that!\"\n\n\"I know,\" he cried. \"But I can at least stall him; I'm not risking my wife and child to be killed!\" Rena gasped. This was the first time he ever called her wife, it was always 'love' or 'mate' or her name. \"I'll be fine,\" he gave her a wink. \"Don't worry.\" She slowly backed away and nodded, before running and kissing his cheek.\n\n\"Be careful,\" she told him as he nodded and started to run toward the front of the store and out to the middle.\n\nThe Leomon growled throwing another Human to the wall beside him, she was not the one he wanted, but made a note to look for her for his soon to be back in business. He was about to turn around when a trashcan was thrown at his head, causing him to growl and turn around. He smirked when he saw the very human, Link, standing there looking at him.\n\n\"Ah, there you are Link,\" answered the orange lion as Link backed away.\n\n\"You know my name?\" questioned the human as Lemon laughed.\n\n\"Why of course I do,\" he answered. \"How else do you think I got your mother to do what I wanted her to do?\" his body tensed, his eyes narrowed, and Leomon saw it. \"Yes that's right,\" he growled. \"I am the one that took your dear little mother away from you, and also brought the killing blow to that damn Wargreymon!\" the human breathing started to increase as Rena moved everyone outside, she gave one last look before looking to go to him but he turned to her.\n\n\"Go!\" he roared in a voice she never heard, backing away, she ran leaving only the Digimon and human alone.\n\n\"Hrm, do you plan on fighting me alone human?\" he brought his blade out from his sheath and held it in one paw while flipping it. \"That's very brave of you!\"\n\n\"What do you want you bastard?!\"\n\n\"Right to the point? I like that, very well.\" He grinned looking at Link. \"It is true that I am the leader of one of the sex group, the other one is owned by a dear friend of mine, who does only males.\" He grinned moving closer to Brandon who backed away. \"She told me that if I give her you, she would make a clone of herself to give to me, and let me tell you, she knows many moves I have let to have done on me!\" Link growled lightly more as Lemon smirked. \"You do look like your mother too, even more when I told my brother MadLeomon to kill her because she was getting too old.\"\n\n\"AGH!\" Link screamed as he ran toward the Digimon, bringing his foot up to kick him, but Leomon was faster, punching him with a fist Link screamed as he was thrown to the ground and rolled as he spat blood out. The Digimon only laughed as he went closer to the human, who slowly stood up wiping the blood from his face glaring hard.\n\n\"She was so good too when she was willing you know,\" Leomon grinned as Link huffed and puffed. \"I did just about everything to her as well; I almost killed her when I shoved my dick down her tiny neck.\"\n\n\"Bastard!\" he screamed but was cut short as Link was thrown into a wall, the marble breaking a bit as he cried out in pain. He felt himself slowly losing his light, his eyes slowly closing, until all he saw was white.\n\nWhen Link opened his eyes, it was all a blur, he didn't feel pain, in fact it felt nothing. Looking down he saw himself in white clothing and everything around him was white as well.\n\n\"What the fuck?\" he asked as he heard a chuckled.\n\n\"Such a dirty mouth Link,\" the human knew this voice, turning around, he came face to face with his old friend; Wargreymon. Wearing the armour he wore when he died, Wargreymon muzzle turned upward to a smile as Link backed away.\n\n\"W...what?\"\n\n\"I told you I wouldn't leave you my brother,\" he answered bringing his paw to his old Tamer shoulder. \"I never did leave you, when my Data flew up into the air; I brought some of myself, my mind; into you.\"\n\n\"But...why?\" Wargreymon again smiled then frowned.\n\n\"I knew something like this might happen, and I was not ready to see you gone, so I gave you some of my power; why else do you think you could fight the Digimon?\" Link took this all in looking at his old friend. \"You want to keep Rena and the others safe right?\" Link nodded as Wargreymon smiled. \"Then Link, this will be the last time we speak, take my power and use it for the betterment of our world, and avenge our mother!\"\n\nLeomon was moving closer, his paw about to grab Link limp body when he saw his eye shot open. A force of unknown pushed him back as he roared in surprised as the human body started to glow. Link screams of pain and anger turned into a roar as his green eyes turned red, the outside of his eye which were white were now black like Rena as his body started to expand. A pricing light shot tough the mall causing Leomon to cry out as well as everyone else outside as Rena covered her eyes.\n\n\"Link!\" she cried as she ran back in and gasp at what she saw. Standing where Link once was, was someone new. Black muscle filled skin was seen from this Digimon, looking almost like a Wargreymon, but his skin and armour black as night, and this Digimon had a blade, large as his body with the marking that read 'Vengeance' marked red, the blade also black itself. Lemon looked over in surprised as he held his blade as the Digimon turned to him, then to Rena. She took a step back as the Digimon looked back to Leomon.\n\n\"I told you to leave Rena.\" The voice sounded somewhat hollowed, but the voice was easy to know who it belonged to.\n\n\"l...Link?\" BlackWargreymon looked over for only a moment and nodded his head once, turning back to Leomon as he backed away.\n\n\"In...possible!\" he cried. Link moved closer to his foe as the lion roared and brought his blade on the Digimon/human head helm, once hit, the sword snapped into two as Leomon eyes grew wide. His claw griped the Leomon neck and lifted him high into the air, tightening around his throat as he wheezed and coughed. \"N...No please...\" he begged. \"Mercy...please!\"\n\n\"Mercy!\" Link screamed. \"You dear asked for mercy for everything you did? The people you stole from me and others!\" he gripped him harder. \"I will kill you bastard, and stuck your data into me!\"\n\n\"Link stop!\" the newly Digimon turned to Rena as she moved closer. The Knights were now outside watching as he growled holding him tightly. \"It's alright...its over...\"\n\n\"No!\" he cried shaking his head. \"Not until he's dead!\"\n\n\"Please don't do this...\" she begged. \"This won't bring your mother or Agumon back...let the Knights take him...please...don't lose yourself...\" Link looked to her, his eyes slowly returning to normal as he dropped the Digimon, before himself falling backward, slowly, his body returned to himself, eyes closed, knocked out, with nothing but a pair of pants on, and a mark on his chest; looking like a roaring dragon." } ]

The young fox had made the mistake of spilling his drink on a large lion in the tavern and had hauled ass when said lion demanded the right his body as payment.\n\nEli let out a gasp as he tripped over his own foot paws, whimpering as the muscled lion approached. Eli didn't notice the shadow growing around him. He whimpered as the lion flipped him onto his back and ripped his shorts off. He felt rough paws spread his ass cheeks and squirmed, earning a cuff to his head and a warning \"Hold still or I will make it hurt twice as bad bitch.\" Eli felt something slimly and hard press against his virgin hole. However, he heard a screech and felt his fur tousled as a great gust of wind blew over him, something orange flickering in his peripheral vision.\n\nThe pressure against his hole vanished and he heard a gurgle. He looked up, and gasped in shock and awe. A massive orange dragon, easily larger then a horse had pinned the lion against a tree. However, what was most shocking was an armor clad figure on the dragon's back. The armor was odd; the back piece was like a wave, curving out to the sides. The back of the helm was rounded; no projections for ears at all and Eli didn't see a tail either. When the dragon moved aside, he saw a long wooden spear sticking out of the dead lion, which was pinned off the ground to the tree.\n\nEli got a good look at the front of the armor. The helmet was shaped like a dragon skull, so it was impossible to tell the species of the being in the armor. The right arm was heavily reinforced, especially around the armpit. The left arm was flared and was capped with a mitten gauntlet. The chest plate was flared out to the sides, in the center was a symbol, namely of two red dragon wings. On the flyer's waist was a large dagger and a falchion, attached to the saddle was a long curved blade, along with an odd crossbow, it had a lever on the bottom of it, a drawstring quiver. One near the flyer's thigh was small and seemed to hold quarrels. On the left was an odd contraption, what looked like tiny metal pincers held long sharpened stakes.\n\nHowever, the oddest thing of all was the saddle itself. It lacked reins of any sort but the saddle horn was large. The saddle seemed to be attached to the dragon by loops and buckles around its belly, collar bone and tail. The rider sat in the saddle, the rider's legs were bent like the rider was kneeling and they were buckled in place. Along the top of each buckle was a long leather throng.\n\nThe rider's mount was also impressive, larger then a draft horse, the scaled beast was at least two feet over the fox's head. The head was large and contained ivory white curved teeth, serrated like a steak knife. The dragon's eyes were a brilliant orange and it lacked a pupil. The scales were large and shined in the light. The tail was short and flared out into a fan like projection.\n\nEli jumped back as the dragon swung its head toward him and spoke \"Who are you?\" Eli felt dizzy and all went black as he feinted.\n\nEli saw only small snatches and sensations, the feeling of being lifted, a sight of up close scales, the feeling of a jolt, a cool draft all over his body and warmth.\n\nEli woke with a start, he was in the bath house, a muscled tiger smirking as he slid the fox's towel away from his body. He blushed as he saw the feline kneel and pull the canine's sheath all the way down and started licking. Eli moaned as the rough sandpaper tongue rasped against his sensitive flesh. He gasped as the tiger wrapped his lips around the pink flesh and went down. Eli yipped as he felt the large feline canines close behind his knot and the rough tongue played with his length. He let out a loud \"YIFF!\" as he came.\n\nEli woke with a start and sighed, realizing it was just another wet dream. He froze as he looked about; he was in a stone room, a crackling fire to his left. The room was empty save for a plate of food and a wash basin with a cloth in it. His clothes were gone and he realized with horror he had just orgasmed onto whoever owned this bed's sheets!\n\nHe quietly got up and began to wash his loins off before his seed dried. He gently washed off his pink cock, unlike other fox's, his was pink not red. He admired his penis, he was quite proud of it. While his penis wasn't big or thick, it was beautiful, perfectly portioned and the veins seemed to flow naturally, and it tapered wonderfully to his knot. His tight scrotum held two nicely sized testes and while he would never admit to it, he did enjoy letting his tail rub against his tight pink hole.\n\nEli gently poked his head out of the door and saw his clothes hanging on a cloth's line. He gently and quietly walked over but jumped when he heard a derisive snort.\n\nThe dragon's annoyed voice spat \"My rider saves your life, brings you to our home and you repay him by masturbating all over yourself? Pathetic.\"\n\nEli growled and said \"I had a wet dream, alright?!\" Eli blushed at his outburst and sighed, great, pissing off a dragon, thought Eli, just how my day has been, nearly raped, kidnapped and now a pissed off dragon is most likely going to maul me after I admit to having a wet dream.\n\nThe dragon chuckled and Eli, having had a very long, rough day said \"Fuck you.\" The dragon growled and said \"I can kill you with one bite little fox.\" Eli whirled around and said \"GOOD! That would be the one thing that would go right for me today! I get disowned and thrown out of my home after telling my family I am gay, getting my underwear stolen at a bath house, spill the drink I spent my last coins with on some brutish lion, who then proceeds to nearly rape me, get kidnapped by a dragon and rider, get stripped naked, have a wet dream in this hole in the ground and now having a dragon bitch at me, so yes, fuck you, fuck your rider, I am putting my pants on and leaving and if you want to kill me, do so, otherwise, shut the fuck up!\"\n\nEli heard a chuckle and blushed, and knew the voice belong to the rider. It spoke \"Relax little fox, Ion here is just very protective of me, dragons don't like to share at all.\"\n\nIon huffed and the voice said \"Oh hush, you were pretty pissy when that dragon you see every week wanted to invite a friend of his to play with you and him.\"\n\nNow that one sentence totally threw Eli, had the rider meant play as in sex? No, of course not, couldn't be, only Eli liked males in that way, he was the only one who felt like that, a freak, an abomination, all those cruel words his father spat at him.\n\nEli said \"I apologize for what happened, I didn't mean to, you know.\" Eli felt his face grow hotter with each word. He said hurriedly \"I will just be going then!\" When he turned to get his pants, he froze as a voice spoke \"Wait! Please, stay for a bit, it is quite rare I have guests, even rarer that aren't dragons.\" Ion growled and was scolded \"Oh shut up! You get to chat and play around with your own kind, I get to sit and listen to y'all gossip!\"\n\nEli was surprised, y'all? He hadn't heard that one before. Eli watched as a form stood from the other side of the dragon, Eli guessed he must have been reclining against the wyrm and turned.\n\nEli gasped; he was face to face with a being straight out of myth. Its flesh was pale as snow, its long hair, tied with a leather throng, was the color of rusted copper, a sea green. The face was flat, no muzzle sticking out. The mouth was round and the lips red.\n\nThe eyes were striking; the pupil was deep amber and seemed to be windows into an enigmatic and alien mind. However, out of all the features, the one that blew Eli away was the man's fur, or lack of it. The male's body was furless, save for what was on his scalp. Instead, his body was sprinkled with a fine coating of black hairs, save for patches of fur under his arms and mass of black wiry fur on his pubic triangle.\n\nEli could not see the other's groin at all, it was hidden behind the dragon's flanks but from the other's body, it was clearly male. Eli said with clear shock \"Your...your...you're a Pernite!\"\n\nPernites, of the land called Pern, were more myth then fact. Eli couldn't believe the myths were true, furless beings with odd colored eyes who ride atop of dragons. Eli asked with a blush \"Is it true riders and dragons-\"He was cut off as the other male chuckled and said \"Some do, we just masturbate one another or perform oral on each other.\"\n\nEli turned crimson as a dirty image flashed in his mind but said nothing, lest he offend his host or worse, the very large dragon. He asked \"I am sorry; I didn't catch your name rider.\" The male smiled and said \"You may call me Ian.\"\n\nEli nodded and said \"Ian, I am curios, is Ion male or female?\" Ian chuckled and said \"It's alright, you see, all dragon reproductive organs are internal, and Ion here is male.\" Ion rolled over and Eli noticed the belly scales were different; they were a much lighter orange. He saw long, tight slit, with two large bumps astride it and tight red anus at the tail/spine junction.\n\nIan walked around to the front of Ion, and Eli was completely caught off guard, instead of a sheath, Ian had a long pale tube of flesh, with a mushroom shaped head that was a light red. There was also a ring of scar tissue under the head and the entire thing seemed crinkled. At the base was a set of rather large sized orbs, inside of a crinkled sack. Ian chuckled as he said \"It gets bigger, it's just cold out.\"\n\nIan smiled as he rubbed the slit, Ion letting out a low hum, which Ian explained \"Dragons thrum when happy, kinda like a cat's purr, the slit is sensitive to the touch.\" From the slit an arrow shaped head appeared, it was large, with a large hole on the tip and the ridge of the head covered the slit. Ian reached down and squeezed behind the head, earning a growl from Ion as more slid out. The rest of the flesh was the same neon orange coloring as the head. The length was thick and rather long, it was as long as Ian's arm. The shaft was covered in bumps and knobs, which made Eli, think of a large gnarled branch.\n\nThe flesh flopped onto the dragon's back leg, and Eli could see the root curved from inside the dragon. Eli listened as Ian explained \"The head swells at orgasm to lock Ion into place, much like your knot does. The reason for the bumps is rather simple yet igneous, a female dragon's cervix only opens when she orgasms, so, he who has the tool that causes the greatest pleasure, has a greater chance of getting the female with egg.\"\n\nEli nodded as he slowly watched the orange flesh slide back into the dragon. He blushed when he felt a stirring in his sheath, praying the dragon didn't smell his arousal. Sadly, the prayer didn't come true as Ion chuckled and said \"Mmm, seems we got a sodomite on our hands.\" Eli blinked and said \"Sodo what?\" Ian smiled as he said \"Sodomite, one who prefers to have sex with males.\" Eli's eyes shot open as he said \"WAIT! You mean there are others like me?!\"\n\nIon snorted and said \"You are looking at two of them!\" Ian smiled as he walked over as he said \"I have deal for you, as much as I enjoy Ion's companionship, I do like to chat and be with someone closer to my own kind. In exchange for helping me around the cave and being friend to us, I offer you a home and all the food you can eat.\"\n\nEli paused as he thought, he would get a chance to be with others who felt like he did toward males, but would he be required to be Ian's or worse, Ion's concubine? He sighed and looked at Ian as he said \"I have made a decision.\" And with a deep breath, gave his answer.\n\nFolks, this is what I have been working on, its long but I think its pretty good. If you want moar of this, simply say what you did or did not like about it or offer constructive criticism" } ]

He breathed in cold air heavy with the acrid scent of blood.\n\nWas he in danger, or perhaps laying on a battle field near the brink of death among the countless bodies of other soldiers?\n\nHis mind still swam about in a black void lacking any recollection of self identity or what he had recently done.\n\nThe next bit of sensory input that returned to him was touch. Where ever he was it was cold and he was lying sprawled out on his stomach with the chin of his muzzle resting on the icy ground. At least his head was facing up so he could have a look around before getting to his feet. All he had to do was remember how to see again.\n\nSomething jabbed him in the ribs and seemed to hurriedly skitter away as if fearing retribution. There was other movement about as well. Perhaps the presence of many others but he was still too discombobulated to make anything out clearly.\n\nHe felt another tap on his other side only this one pressed against the metal he was wearing. Was he wearing armor over his fur? It seemed to him to be very unnatural if he was.\n\nHe received several more of those annoying pokes before he finally decided he had had enough. The next one he felt he responded swiftly and snapped his hand at the offender. He latched onto what he imagined was an ankle and immediately his ears were filled with a terrified screech that caused his head to split with aching pain. But at least he wasn't getting poked at anymore, although he wasn't sure which was the lesser of two evils.\n\nHis captive scrambled about wildly without a prayer of escaping. Cerebus' hand was like a vice clamping down on the troublesome pest and there was no way a panicked individual was going to get free from him.\n\nCerebus? Was that his name? Strange how he suddenly remembered it.\n\nHis eyes snapped open and he rolled them to the side to get his first glance at what he held. It was a wolfen-kin, a thing similar to himself but with long guerilla like arms and born in the wild. They were cunning but lacked proper intelligence, which made them still part of the animal kingdom. Oddly, it was wearing tattered rags that may have been clothing at one point and its fur was all matted and greasy looking like it had done little to upkeep its appearance. The creature he held was malnourished, and by appearance was more akin to a rat than a lupine.\n\nSince the scavenger was fixated on trying to get away rather than attacking, the little fellow was virtually harmless so Cerebus took his time rising to his feet and finding his balance. He stood holding his arm straight out in front of him with the smaller wolfen-kin suspended upside down and unable to touch the ground. Finally he was able to get a good look at his surroundings, but what he saw was not at all to his liking.\n\nIt was a clear night sky with a waning moon nearing the end of its cycle and plenty of stars illuminating everything. His keen eyes allowed him to see what was around him as if it was midday. He was standing in a large clearing where the ground was sloped and a thin layer of snow coated the ground. The area should have been white, but instead it was soaked in the crimson color of blood. Scattered about here and there were a few human body parts, mostly arms and legs. Some of them were well toned with muscle and showed pieces of armor that resembled one another, which indicated to him they were soldiers of some type; militant men. But what he saw didn't add up. There was no where near enough to account for the massive amount of blood it would've taken to make this horrid scene.\n\nIn addition where were the missing body pieces? He saw no heads or torsos. Also why was he standing in the middle of this obvious massacre? Was he in someway responsible for it?\n\nThe next thing that caught his attention was movement in the trees just beyond the clearing. He turned his head in the direction he saw it and narrowed his eyes to focus. Sure enough it was humanoid in shape but the way it moved and the feral scent the air currents brought to him he could tell it was another wolfen-kin. This one, however, seemed larger and in better condition than the one he had dangling from its feet. It even looked as though it had a cloak draped around its shoulders, obscuring its true form.\n\nCerebus' eyes shifted to his left and right and more movement became apparent. Evidently he was surrounded by them. At least a hundred, if not more. They all appeared cautious; apparently waiting to see what he'd do with the one he'd caught.\n\nCerebus had no desire to harm such a defenseless creature that was utterly harmless, at least to him anyways. So, unceremoniously, he let the ragged wolfen-kin go and it dropped to the ground. To the things credit it landed on all fours and used its long arms to help it flee. He had no love for the deformed creatures, but like any other animal he wished it no ill.\n\nHe watched it as it ran for its life, disappearing into the shadowy foliage. The other figures continued to wait, holding their ground, still unsure if he was a deadly threat or not. This afforded Cerebus to assess himself properly and maybe by chance find some clues as to what had happened.\n\nHe was partially wearing a breastplate that covered only his upper torso, not his belly, and wrapped around his back. The shoulder and underarm strap were broken one side and a good chunk of the metal was missing with its edges curled outward as if an explosion from inside of him had ripped the piece off. A shred of chainmail hung from the one good side of the armor and there were dents and puncture marks where some recent battle had made the entire thing useless. He also had attached to one of his thighs and both shins a series of metal bands that were clamped along the outside and stacked above one another linked in some fashion he could quite discern.\n\nWhat ever the reason he had been wearing the armor before, he knew not, but it was little good now and the gear irritated his skin. It compacted all his black fur and in some places pinched or pulled hairs. Since the figures in the distance shifted about restlessly waiting to see what he'd do he figured he had time to remove the cumbersome gear.\n\nAs he was kneeling, removing the last shin guard, the wolfen surrounding him began to advance, closing in on him to form a circle with many wolfen-kin filling in any gaps among their ranks. Most of them wore cloaks or other patchwork materials draped around their shoulders. It made them look like a mound with steep sides and wolf heads mounted on top.\n\nThe fabrics concealed much about these unknown wolfen, but Cerebus could tell more than a few of them carried weapons. He took it as a good sign that none of them had drawn any yet, but that fact didn't do much to convince him they weren't friendly. The point remained how they greatly outnumbered him and had him surrounded.\n\nCerebus stood his ground, resisting the urge to take a defensive stance. He didn't want to inadvertently instigate a fight. It was difficult to remain calm so he did his best to let his arms hang loose at his sides and to be as observant as possible. With the exception of maybe two of the wolfen he was definitely taller by a solid head, two in most cases.\n\nWithout warning, from opposite directions three of the wolfens leaped at him aggressively. They were equally distant so if he faced one then the other two would flank him.\n\nIn order to counter their strategy Cerebus knew he had to take the initiative, choosing one of his opponents and attacking before all three converged on him at the same time. He rushed toward the smallest of them figuring he'd have the best chance at neutralizing it inside of the precious second he'd have before the others were upon him.\n\nHis opponents had weapons, but none of them were using any. That wasn't to say their natural claws were any less dangerous. They could just as easily slice him to ribbons as a sword could.\n\nCerebus sprinted to his target and dug his heel into the ground at the last possible instant, causing the wolfen to misjudge its strike. It slashed at him with razor talons trying to extend its reach in mid swing to compensate. Cerebus snatched its arm out of the air, twisted his hips and viciously yanked, pulling the wolfen off its feet and throwing it hard into one of the other attackers. Both went flying and sprawled out on the ground.\n\nBefore the two wolfens had time to collide Cerebus was already moving forward to meet the third. It was larger than the others, almost his size, and that was pretty big. The wolfen probably had a reputation to uphold in its pack so rather than balking at the speed in which the others were dispatched it turned its ferocity up a notch. A bad idea.\n\nIt snarled viciously as it charged, prepared to strike with its claws and quite possibly its teeth. It turned out to be all a show for his benefit. The wolfen tried to mislead Cerebus into thinking it would fight in a blind rage, but instead leaned forward planting a hand into the ground and pivoting, sending both feet in a powerful arc that would've knocked his head senseless.\n\nReacting faster than he could think, Cerebus leaned back narrowly dodging the toes with sharp talons, and slid forward, allowing gravity to pull himself down. His momentum carried him through and with both of his feet he plowed into the arm supporting the wolfens weight. There was a disturbing pop from its shoulder and elbow as both joints were dislocated and the large beast yelled out in pain, crumbling into a defenseless pile.\n\nThe other two wolfens were just now getting to their feet and reorient themselves back on Cerebus. He still had a second or two left which was plenty of time for him to finish off the larger one, but he hesitated, looking at the bigger picture. The other wolfen could've easily joined in the fight and have overwhelmed him, but instead they all remained on the sidelines, observing.\n\nThey were still testing him, trying to see what kind of wolfen he was, and so far their judgment seemed reserved. His actions and how he handled himself was what was going to determine if he lived through this encounter.\n\nHe still had a second left to dispatch the wolfen nearest him, but he had to do so without killing it. Otherwise such an aggressive action would demand immediate retribution and the entire pack would swarm over him.\n\nActing swiftly he rolled onto the things back and reached around its neck so that it could feel his razor claws press into its jugular, but not draw blood. With a growl he snapped at its ear, tearing the tip off, marking him in shame. Essentially, without using words, he told the beast it was defeated and its life now belonged to him. It whimpered in acknowledgement which was all the time Cerebus could afford. His other two opponents were approaching and he had to face them immediately.\n\nHe pushed off of the fallen wolfen, shoving painfully against its wounded arm and making it whine in agony. The other two came at him side by side and Cerebus launched himself straight at them. There was no elegance or coordinated attack. It was just a straight up feral attack; their ferocity versus his.\n\nWhen they collided Cerebus made sure he had his feet firmly planted and braced for their onslaught. He gave up any semblance of defense in favor of an all out attack and rammed both of his hands forward to dig his claws into their chests. The wolfens slashed at his arms and sides drawing blood, but the cuts were superficial and he'd heal from them in a matter of seconds. Their weight pressed into him and he bent his knees and elbows absorbing the inertia until like a coiled spring he was able to push back. Pushing with all of his muscles he exploded upward, leaping into the sky and taking his unwilling passengers with him. At the apex of the jump he angled them down so they would absorb the impact and fully extended his arms which would drive his full weight into them.\n\nThe three of them went a lot higher than Cerebus anticipated. He wondered if locking his elbows was going to lead to him dislocating his own joints. Unfortunately it was too late to retract. He was going to have to find out the hard way.\n\nThey crashed heavily into the ground, the impact sending red snow and little chunks of dirt flying into the air. Cerebus could feel their bodies compress under his hands, cracking ribs and driving all the air out of their lungs. The wolfen warriors were utterly stunned. It was more than obvious that he could easily finish them off. He rose slowly with one of his ears swiveling to check on the location of the other larger wolfen he had downed. Surprisingly it had stayed right where he had left it.\n\n\"Enough!\" a powerful voice shouted.\n\nIt was the voice of a leader. Cerebus twisted his hips to face the wolfen, but he still remained partially crouched, ready to fight if need be.\n\nThe pack leader walked fearlessly into the circle. He had the cleanest cloak of them all which he pushed over to one shoulder. A heavy leather vest hung open on his muscular frame and loose fitting pants that had the legs torn off just above the knees. He had short dark brown hair which made it easy to see his impressive physique as well as the multitude of scars. This wolfen was an experienced fighter. Even though he was more than a head shorter, Cerebus wasn't foolish enough to underestimate him.\n\nHe hovered over the recently defeated wolfen as he watched their leader walk over to the heap that marked the large wolfen which still laid where it had originally fell.\n\n\"You know what I must do, don't you?\" the pack leader asked of the wolfen where it whimpered pitifully, but his eyes remained unwavering on Cerebus. \"Assuming you live through this and don't bleed out, consider yourself banished. Do not return to the pack, or else I will kill you personally.\"\n\nWithout another word he lifted his foot and stomped down hard just in front of the creature's throat. He used the talons on his feet to tear out the jugular where moments before Cerebus had touched. Unceremoniously he dismissed the mortally wounded thing as though this was a common action and stepped over it continuing his advancement to meet the deadly wolfen who had defeated the largest among the pack.\n\nCerberus still braced himself, just in case the pack leader planned on fighting, but the wolfen held a pose as if he was indifferent to him. He stopped a few feet in front of Cerebus making an exaggerated assessment.\n\n\"The armor you wore suggests you're a city wolfen. A guard dog or an attack dog perhaps.\" The brown wolfen articulated its words clearly, a feat Cerebus had great difficulty in mastering, and his eyes reflected a sinister intelligence. The words he was choosing were derogatory and quite possibly bait to see if Cerebus had control over his anger.\n\nThe pack leader paused dramatically allowing ample time for the trespasser to respond, but Cerebus held his ground and continued staring straight back with his own eyes studying the potential threat.\n\n\"You're obviously quite intelligent, unlike most of the company I have to endure here. I can see it in your eyes. Oh yes. A lethal combination with the body you have.\" He began to slowly circle around, observing Cerebus and narrating what he thought. \"Your hair is thickest on the shins, forearms and chest which suggest you've been bred for the role of a warrior. The fine quality of your black fur also indicates you were well looked after likely for the sake of appearance because we all know a well groomed wolfen looks less fierce and offensive to humans. Did you belong to a noble family and they dressed their loyal hound to look all pretty? They must've trusted you a great deal because after all you haven't been declawed or had your canines pulled.\"\n\nThe offensive wolfen completed a circuit and was starting a second and the whole time Cerebus' kept still with his ears rotating to follow his steady movements. Rather than let his words anger him he kept his cool and looked for the slightest things that could help him figure out what he was doing here. Unfortunately, so far the only thing he was able to tell was that his presence here was unexpected and he was not known by any of the present wolfen.\n\n\"Hmmm...,\" he paused in thought. \"You're a city wolf with some established status due to the fact you wore armor, and expensive bits of metal at that. But you decidedly shed your shell in preference to stand before us in nothing other than your own fur I'd say you're not completely domesticated which means there might be hope for you yet. There's a strong hint of the wild inside you, isn't there?\"\n\n\"And what about this most impressive scene we find you in the midst of?\" He gave a sweeping gesture indicating the blood and human limbs littering the ground.\n\n\"Were you responsible for all this, or are you a survivor?\" He stopped off to Cerebus' left taking in the site and watching his body for subtle clues.\n\n\"Would you care to speak?\" he asked, giving him a moment to respond. \"No? Ahhh, but with a powerful muzzle like yours I suppose speech is not something that comes easily to you. You were better designed for biting and ripping a body apart. By the way thank you for having the decency to leave my warriors intact. A wise and calculated decision on your part I'm sure. Still though you could give me the simple courtesy of shaking or nodding your head. Yes?\"\n\nCerebus slowly nodded while shifting his stance so that he faced the pompous fellow.\n\n\"Finally, some participation. Now tell me are you responsible for this blood bath?\" he asked with sudden intensity.\n\nThe question was obviously important to him, but Cerebus had no answer. He simply did not know.\n\n\"Because if you are I'd certainly enjoy knowing how you did it.\" The wolfen stepped closer and the two of them stared down the length of their snouts meeting the steady, hard glare of the other. \"We really don't like humans here.\" His voice was a growl, a warning for Cerebus in case he felt otherwise.\n\n\"Well with that little matter being addressed I think we'll be vacating the area. I wouldn't want to make myself available for any potential repercussions. By the way,\" he asked over his shoulder as he began walking away, \"my name is Scythe, and I'm currently looking for a new champion. Know anyone who might be interested?\"\n\nThe wall of wolfens surrounding them parted for their leader as he approached and they all began following him in the same direction leaving Cerebus behind. After a few moments he was the only one left standing amidst the bloody carnage he had awoken in. The only thing different was the wolfen warrior left laying on the ground which was presumably dead.\n\nHe was alone and completely at a loss of what to do. There was no memory as to how he got there or why he was lying unconscious in the middle of a massacre. He was confused and lost and thought his best hope for any answers might be with Scythe, a concept he didn't like at all.\n\nThere was something about that wolfen Cerebus didn't trust. He was obviously intelligent in a callous, wicked sort of way and had the necessary physical strength to be the leader of such a large pack. But if he wanted answers he was going to have to deal with him. If he could at a minimum find out where he was and all of what was nearby then maybe it would help to jog loose his memory.\n\nBefore the pack got too far Cerebus leapt in pursuit and even though they were sprinting through the woods catching up with them was not difficult for him. He kept pace easily and maintained his distance. If he had wanted he could've done so with stealth, but to find answers then he had to be seen. All that was needed was an invitation.\n\nThe woods were dense in some places with oaks and pines. Here and there patches of snow on the ground lingered from the winter season and the higher altitude made it possible for it to last longer than any where else. After what seemed like an hour one of the wolfen broke off from the main group after conversing briefly with Scythe. It circled around perhaps in an attempt to sneak up on him, but Cerebus had seen the creature leave and had no trouble tracking its movements. When it drew near he waited expectantly and if the wolfen had any notion of attempting stealth it abandoned the notion.\n\nLike most of the others it wore a cloak too. While running the length of it was bunched up and carried, but when standing in one place for any length of time they let the material drop and settle around their shoulders to help trap their body warmth.\n\n\"Scythe wants you to join him,\" the beast said in a guttural voice.\n\n\"I... ex... set,\" Cerebus answered doing his best to imitate speech. His trouble wasn't due to lack of knowledge for he was actually very intelligent and well versed in language both the spoken and written word. When it came to speaking however, he was physically impeded because of the size of his jaws. He had severe trouble manipulating his lips to pronounce certain sounds and as a result had to improvise and talk slowly.\n\nThe wolfen displayed no awkward reaction to his speech impediment and simply headed off in the direction that would take them to Scythe.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\nCerebus sat in front of a fire pit with flames blazing as tall as he was. The wolfen shared their food with him as though he were a guest of honor, and Scythe poured attention on him telling him everything he knew about the surrounding lands and the nearby cities. Scythe didn't exactly give the information away freely. He was probing for the truth as much as Cerebus wanted to figure things out for himself. Unfortunately none of what Scythe told him revealed the slightest sense of familiarity. Anything he learned about himself was what the clever wolfen leader was able to piece together and there wasn't much at that.\n\nHe learned of the four nearest human settlements and judging by the few pieces of armor at the scene where they had met he was most likely from the farthest one, a place called Stone Hold. Animal humanoids like themselves generally stayed away from humans with a few exceptions here and there. Very rare was it that wolfen or any other animal kin made a life for themselves in cities unless they were meant to be slaves of one type or another.\n\nBy the end of the evening Cerebus still had more questions than answers, but some were better than none. Scythe offered to personally show him an available place where he could rest and consider his future.\n\n\"You know,\" he spoke as he led him along a path that hugged a steep cliff with many warrens carved out that the wolfens here claimed as their homes, \"I'm serious about my offer to you earlier.\"\n\n\"Hut... un?\" (What one?)\n\n\"I still require a champion. A second in command. A strong individual of intelligence and who watches my back. Someone loyal to me and who can also accept that I'm the leader. You'd make an ideal second.\"\n\n\"I... don like... hhhou... you... treated... the other... un.\" (I don't like how you treated the other one)\n\n\"Of course not, but what I did had to be done. Perhaps you don't fully understand especially if you were raised by humans. No matter. I'll explain. Goliath, that was his name, surrendered to you. He basically acknowledged you as being more dominant than me. I cannot allow such behavior if I'm to remain their leader.\n\n\"Worry not for his fate. The wound I gave him would not have killed him and once he's recovered, which he should have done so several hours ago, he'll set out on his own and eventually form a pack, although I'm sure it won't be as large as this one. Goliath was big, intimidating and had a loud bark, but he could never handle pain very well. Always had a low tolerance.\" Scythe shrugged the distant thought away treating it with little consequence.\n\n\"Fear not for yourself. You would not be treated so. I could teach you, reintegrate you to wolfen society, and after a year's time or more you could eventually form your own pack as well. I'd even be willing to let you take a few of my members, an unprecedented gesture I assure you, and something we'd have to agree on and orchestrate beforehand.\"\n\nCerebus just shook his head limiting the use of his voice. Scythe and the others claimed they didn't mind the way he talked and agreed he managed extremely well considering his physical features. He thought it was more like a handicap that they were willing to overlook because they respected brute force and his powerful jaw certainly reflected that.\n\n\"Very well,\" he sighed with a dramatic affect, \"if that's your decision. I suppose you'll be wanting to head for Stone Hold to find out what you can, but before you do you might want to consider another option. Staying.\n\n\"Very little good has ever come from humans interacting with our kind. What ever your past with them may be best left where it is and you can start fresh here.\"\n\n\"Hhhye... you... rrr... eely... ont... ee... to stay?\" (Why you really want me to stay?)\n\n\"Two reasons my friend.\" Scythe looked at him with a serious gaze, emphasizing how he felt. \"One: because you truly are a unique breed of wolfen. You're smart. When you fight you're not using blind instincts and you have skills. Probably learned them from the humans. Two: having someone like you at my side can make a big difference with minimizing our conflicts with humans. Too many of our kind die or become enslaved at their hands, and when we retaliate it only makes things worse. Whole packs get massacred. We need more wolfen like yourself to lead and protect and who know how to deal with humans.\"\n\n\"You... hear... how I... talk. I'n not a... d... lo... nat.\" (You hear how I talk. I'm not a diplomat.)\n\n\"Ha! How you speak, my friend isn't the issue. The point is that when you do others listen. Being heard is always more important and you don't waste your words. You choose them carefully and get straight to the point.\n\n\"I'll respect what ever you decide,\" Scythe said as he put a hand on top of Cerebus' shoulder in a brotherly fashion, \"but I think you should seriously consider staying.\" He was sincere with his offer, but there were undertones to it that bothered Cerebus and he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Not knowing caused him to be reserved and until he was able to unravel what Scythe truly had in mind he was unwilling to participate in his scheme.\n\n\"Here,\" he gestured to a natural opening along the face of the cliff, \"you can make yourself comfortable in this warren for the night. In the morning I can provide you with some provisions and equipment if you want in order to help you on your way. I also have a special gift for you waiting inside. Enjoy your evening.\"\n\nCerebus hesitated a moment, considering Scythe's words before he ducked his way through the entrance to the cavern. As soon as he stood up on the other side his nose was bombarded by an overwhelming musk. He immediately began to hone in on the source, but a grating sound vibrated the walls at the opening and he whipped his about only to realize too late that he had been sealed in by a large rock. He quickly threw his weight against the stone trying to push it out of the way, but it was no use. The space was too narrow and he had no way of getting proper leverage on the object to shift it. Accepting the fact he had been imprisoned he turned to explore his surroundings more carefully.\n\nThere was a large opening in the ceiling where the light of the stars and moon illuminated the place in a soft blue color. It looked as though it would be a difficult climb, but one he'd still be able to do. It didn't make a lot of sense to him to have the entrance sealed when he could leave through the giant hole above. Upon closer examination he saw that the walls higher up were slick with something slimy and he realized that a climb out might not be as easy as he initially thought.\n\nSomething shifted slightly low to the ground, near the far wall. It was a cinnamon brown body of fur laying on its side with knees and a fuzzy tail curled up to its chest. The creature looked as though it had a long head of hair that conformed to the curve of its back. Judging by the thin waist and wide hips he guessed it to be a female, but it didn't look anything like the wolfen he had seen.\n\nCerebus moved closer to get a better look and he heard the smallest of whimpers come from the prone figure. Like himself she wore no clothing but his fur was thicker and he didn't require it where as she was quite the opposite and the lack of covering made her seem naked. Her ears were pointy like his but smaller and stuck through the thick fur on top of her head that resembled hair like that of a human. Her ears were also flattened, clearly displaying her unhappiness, which he figured had something to do with the iron collar around her neck and the chain mounted to the wall a few feet away.\n\nThe air was also heavy with her scent and it was something that stirred a basic desire within his loins. Evidently the female was in heat and Scythe's intended gift became very clear.\n\nCerebus unwittingly growled his displeasure at what he saw, the mistreatment and disrespect of the female. Unfortunately she mistook his meaning and emitted a shaky cry while she desperately tried to curl herself up even smaller.\n\n\"Please, I don't want to do this,\" she begged with her eyes tightly closed.\n\n\"You don...t... hath... to,\" (You don't have to). He did his best to sound reassuring which was difficult with his deep voice.\n\nShe dared to turn her head and peek up at her cellmate, allowing Cerebus to get a better look at her face. He was slightly surprised when he recognized the decisively feline characteristics and fully understood that she wasn't wolfen, but a cat-like species known as rokosh.\n\nHe reached for the collar around her neck and she immediately turned away from him automatically fearing what he might do. Grabbing the latch he gave it two sharp twists with his bare hands which jostled her, but also served to break open the iron band. She cried out in a terrified yelp as he shook the collar and her along with it. After he released the broken metal he let her be while she continued to shake with soft sobbing noises and pulled herself into as small of ball as she could manage. He figured eventually she'd understand that he wasn't going to molest her like she probably thought.\n\nCerebus turned away from the feline and slowly paced the area, studying the walls and plotting the best route for climbing out of the pit. He wiped at his nose several times wishing he could do something about the rokosh's overwhelming scent. The place was too small and the room available easily became filled with her aroma, especially with no air current to help dilute it. He wasn't sure if inhaling such a concentrated amount was affecting his mind and wondered if controlling himself might become an issue.\n\nHe stopped his pacing and stared at her longer than he intended. She seemed to notice and she muffled her crying with short intakes of air. A few seconds later she began to uncurl her form and struggled just to get on her knees. Her arms shook as though they were severely fatigued and she could do no more than hold herself aloft on her elbows. She tried more than once to plant her hands on the ground and push up, but the effort required was clearly too much and she fell back down. Unfortunately he couldn't help but to notice how shapely and appealing her feminine figure was. That combined with the scent of her flavoring every breath he took was beginning to have a very physical affect on his own body and he could feel a deep, instinctual desire to mount her.\n\nCerebus shook his head and returned to walking around the room once more, not fully aware of how much heavier his breathing had become. It was impossible to get her out of his mind. The pose she held herself in with her tail raised high over her back inviting him to take advantage of her was too much. It made him feel as though he'd go mad and lose himself to his baser animal side.\n\n\"Uu...uhhhhh,\" she sighed with release and he could see her entire body quiver all the way to the tip of her tail. It created an involuntary response out of him making blood rush into his groin causing the beginnings of an erection that he did not want.\n\n\"Just take me... and be done with it,\" she struggled to get through what he thought was a continuation of her crying. It was hard to say for sure. It almost could've been taken as moaning.\n\n\"I don' ont too,\" he said, his heated emotions causing him to speak rapidly and with hardly a care to how he annunciated his words.\n\nThe rokosh seemed to comprehend him well enough and she surrendered herself to a more severe bout of tears. She twisted her head around to get a better look at him and he could see her watery eyes and tear streaked cheeks. Her face looked as though it were contorted in pain and the sight of his penis reacting to her pheromones, betraying him, caused her to squint her eyes tightly closed at the offence.\n\n\"Oh, God!\" she yelled in anguish. \"Did you come here only to torture me while you pleasure yourself?\"\n\nCerebus balked at the very idea and didn't know how to respond.\n\nThere was no way he could mate with her. She was an entirely different species. But what bothered him even more was the fact if he did act on his instincts he'd be taking advantage of her heat. It was something she had no control over and his actions would be little better than rape.\n\nShe didn't do a damn thing to make his moral dilemma any easier the way her rump was up in the air and her legs spread displaying herself completely. He stood frozen, wanting to accept her offering with lustful abandon, but also wanting to preserve his own conscious of right and wrong. There was no compromise between the two.\n\n\"A... ahhh... ...,\" she seemed to have trouble breathing and the air stayed trapped in her lungs while her body went through another episode of uncontrollable shaking. Not that he meant to focus on it, but he had a clear view of the private area between her legs and the way it puckered open and shut with apparent need. Her unbidden lust was capturing his will to resist and his penis began to rise in response, bobbing up and down as it hardened.\n\n\"...Eh!\" she squeaked suddenly as if she had reached a climax of sorts and panted trying to catch her breath. Fresh tears streamed down her face and Cerebus couldn't help but to feel sorry for the poor female.\n\n\"I can't stop the burning!\" she cried out in pain. \"It hurts too much! Please do something!\"\n\nHe had never known what a rokosh was like during their heat and the pitiful creature looked utterly miserable causing him to feel a distorted sense of sympathy and an urge to please her desperate need for sex. His mind was going insane with every passing second until finally he could tolerate no more.\n\nWithout thought as to what he was doing he grabbed his shaft, supporting it as he walked over and knelt down behind her. In response, she leaned forward dropping her shoulders to the ground so she could reach back with her hands to spread herself open even wider, anticipating his entry.\n\nSome distant part of his mind continued the hopeless struggle of denying what he was about to do. It was enough to at least keep him from shoving himself all the way in without regard if he hurt her or not. He lined the tip of himself up with her opening and gently pushed the mushroom head into the folds of her swollen flesh. Her body eagerly accepted his presence and with no restraint she rocked her hips back forcing him to penetrate faster than he intended.\n\nBefore her body had swallowed half his length she stopped in mid motion and sucked in air between clenched teeth. He could feel the tightness of her and could only imagine she wasn't as prepared to receive him despite her eagerness. He wanted to continue driving forward, but he did not relish the idea of adding to her pain. With great effort he forced himself to hold his position while she adjusted to his size.\n\nAfter several seconds she found a sense of renewed strength and managed to push herself up with her arms so she could be on all fours and have better control of how she moved. Slowly she rocked forward allowing him to slide out of her to the tip of his penis and then backwards again taking in a little more than she did before.\n\n\"Ohhh hh hh hh hh hh hh,\" she exhaled with a trill of ecstasy after each slow and deliberate plunge and as he withdrew she inhaled deeply, preparing herself for the next plunge.\n\nGradually she took more and more of him until her ass pressed firmly against his hips. After a couple more slow deep thrusts she felt comfortable increasing the pace and tried rocking herself faster.\n\nOnce she began hastening her efforts Cerebus quickly lost whatever restraint he had. Up until now he had given her control, but it was time to remind her that he was dominant. Bending over, he lunged for the back of her neck while wrapping an arm around her belly holding her against himself so he didn't slip out. With a vicious growl he placed his teeth on the slender flesh below her skull and slammed a fist heavily against the ground like a pillar to support his own weight.\n\n\"Oh God!\" she yelped when she felt the points of his teeth poke her skin. \"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Please don't kill me!\" she whimpered and ceased all movement.\n\nHe gave an abrupt short thrust jerking her body without warning causing her last word to sound more like a squeak. A second growl vibrated from within his throat, this one sounding more stern, and the rokosh fell silent with only her quivering lower lip indicating the fear she felt. Her musky scent combined with the dread that paralyzed her intoxicated his senses overriding any shred of decency.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\nThe dark beast bearing down on her jerked her body again reminding her both of his stiff member inside and her overwhelming need to breed. Her mind didn't know which to concentrate on, the fear of dying or her primal need for gratification. The two concepts made it impossible to maintain any coherent thought allowing her instincts to consume her entirely.\n\nHe repeated his movements several more times and with each violent vibration her focus went to what she felt between her legs. The motion was less thrusting and more like his body all of a sudden tensing, causing his penis to stiffen and flex against her vaginal walls. Every shocking pulse caused her to feel more aroused despite the reminder of the teeth scraping against her neck and she couldn't prevent herself from making tiny little moans.\n\nHe hadn't punctured her skin so it was possible she might still survive the experience. Death quickly became a distant worry and she lost herself to the more carnal desires of her darker side. Even the sensation of his jaws threatening to snap close, taking her life in an instant, added a thrilling risk and heightened her pleasure.\n\nAfter he was satisfied with her submissive state he released the death lock from her neck and went back to gripping her waist. However his entire demeanor had changed and he no longer seemed concerned for how she felt. He set his own rapid pace of pushing her away and pulling her back, driving into her greedily. The only thing he was concentrating on was reaching his own climax as he smacked his hips against her ass creating small ripples with each forceful impact. The speed in which he slid in and out of her caused a lot of friction and rubbing all her internal nerve endings in the extreme. More quickly than she imagined she felt a massive build up of heat and fell into an explosive orgasm well beyond her control.\n\nA very primal scream tore out of her throat as she bucked and kicked her legs with sporadic twitches and her back arched uncontrollably. Her arms buckled and her front half collapsed choking her impassioned scream short. There was barely enough time to throw her elbows forward, bracing herself so her head didn't smash into the ground. She continued to vocally express her raw emotions but her yell was broken in pieces with the forceful pounding that plowed her into the ground.\n\nHer angled body allowed him greater access and he pushed even deeper reaching a depth her fingers couldn't possibly achieve. Finally after suffering her condition for days she was getting what she so desperately needed. Although she had mixed feelings upon feeling him push so deeply into her. What she felt was an odd mix of pain and pleasure making her more desperately insane and bringing to question how much of it she could endure.\n\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\nCerebus had his way with the female. Her odor ignited his own instincts and he lost himself in the experience. He could feel her nether regions squeeze his shaft ever tighter making it nearly painful to continue, but he was too close to his own climax nothing was going to stop him. Her muscle spasms took over her entire body, disrupting his break neck rhythm.\n\nSpontaneously he dug his fingers into the thick fur on the back of her head and yanked her off the floor with one arm. She screamed again, but this time in response to the shocking pain interrupting her moment of pleasure. Both of her hands shot up to where he held her and she tried to lessen the weight by holding onto his wrist. This caused her back to arc away from him and her entire upper body hovered above the floor\n\nHe held her suspended like that while he continued to ram her from behind, causing them both to slide across the floor with each impact. The way she looked clinging desperately and shaking all over greatly added to his excitement and he could feel himself being pushed over the edge. It was inevitable. There was no withdrawing now. He was going to reach his climax any second and cum inside her.\n\nHer large breast stuck out and jiggled every time he collided into her, and suddenly, struck with the desire to hold and squeeze them, his other hand left her hip to grope the sensitive mounds of flesh. He reached around, grabbing her left breast, and pulled her all the way back to his chest, relieving the strain he was putting on her neck and arms. She was panting heavily and her chest heaved with exhaustion from the effort. Holding her there in that position he realized to his dissatisfaction left him half exposed and unable to bury himself as deeply as he had been.\n\nHe liked where she was and wasn't willing to let her drop to her previous position so he brought a leg forward between hers while remaining on one knee. In response she raised the leg his had shoved over and was barely able to keep his tip within her threshold. She did her best to hook her leg around him but he had pulled her too far upright to make it possible. His other hand slid past her hip and palmed her stomach flattening her against himself while at the same time he began rising to his feet.\n\nCarefully he lifted them off the floor and she instinctively reached for his shaft, holding it in place, ensuring he did not pull out. To maintain her grip on him she had to arch her back away bending slightly at her hips and she expressed her satisfaction with a sigh upon feeling the length of him slip back into her. He was clearly taller than she was and even with his feet flat against the ground and with his legs a little bent she still had to stand on the tips of her toes.\n\nSatisfied with their new pose Cerebus wasted no time, and got right back to pounding\n\nhis body against hers. In his eagerness he constantly made her feet slip loosing her ability to support herself and once again her hands flailed behind her searching for anything she could grab onto to keep herself from falling. Her left arm extended almost straight back coiling over his arm with the hand cupping her breast, and with her other she found purchase on his opposite forearm, unconsciously digging her claws into him and drawing blood.\n\nShe held on as tightly as she could, no longer concerned whether she was able to make contact with the ground. Her feet flapped around and her legs dangled uselessly to either side of him. His muscles began to grow tense and his thrusts more rigid until finally he shot his hips forward with a powerful driving force, leaning himself backwards while at the same time pulling her up. He grunted loudly making her do the same as all her weight bore down on him and he angled her in exact alignment with his erection.\n\nFor several seconds nothing happened and the two stayed that way as if they were statues displaying that hard to capture moment of perfect bliss. Then suddenly she felt the unexpected sensation of his knot forming, at the same time as his penis pulsed, firing hot liquid in a pressurized stream and triggering a second orgasm from her. She shouted in a high pitch giving voice to her pleasure and her eyes glazed seeing nothing beyond the emotion of fulfillment. Some of his milky fluids dripped out of her before his knot completely sealed the rushing tide that came pouring out of him.\n\nThe rokosh expected his expansion to stop once it had plugged her hole, but his knot continued to grow, filling her beyond her limit. The sounds she made quickly changed into screams as terror and pleasure played havoc on her mind. She spread her legs out as far as she could and held them stiff like a board, fearing if she didn't his knot might cause her to rupture. The hard rod jammed up inside her continued its pattern of flexing, dumping a seemingly endless amount of semen into her. Her belly grew unnaturally warm and glancing at her midsection she could see the area of her uterus swell with the presence of the bulge at the base of his penis.\n\nThe rokosh stared in disbelief praying the sexual ordeal would come to an end soon and it didn't grow any larger. Gradually his strength ebbed as the flow of his white fire lessened to a drip and he fell to his knees sucking in a gush of air like he had been holding his breath the entire time. She fell forward without grace, unable to summon the strength necessary to catch herself with her arms. Fortunately she was able to at least lift her head high enough so it wasn't the first thing to hit the ground and her chest cushioned her fall. It hurt less but it hurt all the same." } ]

I'm sorry for the slow update, internet has been down at home and is being monitored. Pronouns are again based on the current mindset; Krystal thinks of herself as a woman, so \"she\" and \"her\" are used. 'K? 'K.\n\n---\n\nThe next thing Krystal knew, she woke up in a small, well-lit gray room, with shadowy figures hovering over her. \"....be allright?\" \"I think so, I... fast enough...\" \"This is....though.\" Krystal moaned and returned to blissful unconciousness.\n\nKrystal ran out of Sally's flat, not even considering her nudity as she ran through the public building and through the streets to where she vaguely remembered her Arwing being. Her huge breasts and cock flailed wildy as she ran away from the scene, and she was vaguely aware of shouts..\n\n\"...think she's coming to,\" said a voice. It was familiar, wasn't it? Krystal groaned and clutched her head, trying to make her head stop spinning. \"Krystal? Krystal, can you hear me?\" That voice was definitely familiar. With an effort, she opened her eyes and looked groggily around before focusing on the figure directly in front of her. Fox stood at the foot of the bed looking anxiously at Krystal, and she could see someone else out of the corner of her eye.\n\n\"Fox..?,\" she muttered, before trying to sit up. \"Woah! Krystal, don't make any sudden moves!\" That voice was annoying. Slippy. So she must be in the Great Fox.. \"Yeah, it's me, love.,\" said Fox, kneeling down next to her. \"What's going on?,\" she wondered aloud, looking around, and fixed upon her bulging sheath. \"No, no!\" She closed her eyes, and knew it wasn't a dream, that it was real, and she'd just raped someone. Tears came freely and ran down her cheeks. She remembered now about raping Sally, about her new cock, about... Krystal, now herself, realized just what a horrible thing she'd done.\n\n\"Krystal! Don't blame yourself, it wasn't your fault!,\" cried Fox. \"I raped her! I raped,\" Krystal sobbed, \"I raped a girl! And it felt GOOD! Don't tell me that, Fox! I'm a monster!\" The blue herm rolled away from Fox, hiding her face and body from her love, horrified at the actions she'd taken. Fox gently took her cheek and turned her face towards him.\n\n\"Krystal, it's not your fault, trust me. Slippy told us that you had as much testosterone running through you as a teenager might in a few years. You were going through puberty, all at once.,\" Fox said, remembering his own youth. He could barely control himself, either! Let alone if Krystal had all of puberty crammed into her at once..\n\n\"It doesn't matter! It doesn't change that I raped her, Fox! I raped her!,\" she said, still sobbing. \"I hate this! I don't even know why this happened to me!\" Fox was silent, not knowing the cause of his vixen lovers' transformation either. Slippy's diagnostics had only shown huge levels of testosterone, but that was it. No drugs, nothing. He realized Slippy had quietly left, and mentally thanked the mechanic. Fox sighed and shifted around the bed, closer to Krystal. The Cerinian remained sobbing, curled up and in no mood to be reasonable.Fox sighed and knelt down, concerned that Krystal would never accept what had happened. She obviously was afraid of her new cock because of what had happened. While Fox had no idea what had caused it to appear, he didn't mind it at all- she was still his wife, with or without a cock twice his size. He laughed slightly in envy and bent over..\n\n\"Stop! Krystal McCloud, you're under arrest for rape and public nudity!,\" cried a policeman as she became aware of her followers. \"No, no....no!\" On instinct, Krystal swiveled around and nailed the man in the chest with a powerful kick, and fended off the other two cops with a quick flurry of blows. Her concious mind had again deserted her, shattered by the realization of her actions moments ago. However, her body suddenly screamed in agony as she fell to the ground, clutching her balls as the bloody policeman below her withdrew his foot. \"I'm...sorry sir...,\" she thought she heard as she blacked out.\n\nShe swam back into conciousness with pleasure coursing through her, and a warm feeling encompassing her dick as she spasmed in the bed. Choking back her tears in shock, she looked down the bed and saw Fox grinning around her huge cock while he played with her clit in his fingers. \"Fox, do...ahh!,\" she cried as another bolt of pleasure went through her. Gritting her teeth, she continued, \"Fox, I...I don't want this! I don't want to be a freak!\" Removing his warm lips from her for a moment, Fox replied, \"You're not a freak, Krystal. You're my wife. And you always will be. Besides... it's more fun this way.,\" he replied with a grin as he expertly sucked her off. She could feel the now-familiar pressure building as she groaned, before the floodgates burst loose and her balls pumped her cum into her husband's mouth. Spasming in the pleasure of the orgasm, she was vaguely aware of Fox continuing his blowjob as he choked down the constant flow.\n\nA few minutes later, they lay panting on the bed next to each other. \"Where did you... learn to do that, Fox?,\" the blue herm asked, curious as to how he'd given such a superior blowjob. It'd taken her months to learn how to do one properly, and here a guy had just given her the same right back. The cocky Fox laughed and replied, \"I'm very flexible.\" Giving that a moment of thought, Krystal's dick sprang to full attention once more as she forced out, \"That is so HOT,\" when she realized that Fox practiced on himself. Quickly turning around, she started her own ministrations on Fox's proud manhood, and soon felt him start on hers. \"First to cum loses!,\" cried the leader of Team Star Fox through a mouthful of herm-cock.\n\nSlippy, peering through a one-sided mirror, groaned and said, \"I guess sex really is the best medicine.\"\n\n---\n\nKrystal later retired to her room, a large and open area with one wall being a viewport to the stars, where she constantly meditated on her life. After being asked by Fox after their 'therapy' session, she had agreed to enter a deep meditative state and search for the cause of her recent transformation. After nearly an hour of trying to reach the appropriate state, though, she gave up.\n\n\"Damnit!,\" she cried in frustration. \"I'm just too horny to concentrate!\" The memory of Fox's lewd grin as he sucked her cock, him taking her as a woman afterwards, his comment about his sucking himself off as practice.. Krystal didn't know if she still had excess hormones running around her system, but she couldn't keep her mind off these, but she knew just the answer. Slowly stripping off her robe, the fox rummaged through her drawers before taking out another vibrator, and sighed as she sank to the floor. \"By the spirits, I feel like I'm a character in some cheap porn story..,\" she mused as she thought about how her recent experiences had been little but sex. At least she wasn't suffering from blue balls, though!, she thought as she giggled.\n\nSmoothly sliding the thick dildo into her pussy, she moaned as she worked it in, it's vibrations sending pleasure through her body anew. Moaning at the waves of pleasure, she grinned and twisted around, bending double until her dick bumped her lips. Opening wide, she slipped it in and managed to get nearly half of it in before it started to choke her. Working her tongue as she'd learned on Fox, the vixen shuddered in double bolts of pleasure as the vibrator and her lips did their work on her cunt and dick. Soon, Krystal could feel the familiar pleasure building as her cock throbbed in her mouth. Closing her eyes, she snaked her other hand around and rolled back on the floor without anything to support her. Reaching down, she fondled her balls, feeling them swelling and pulsing. Maybe... this isn't so bad.., she thought to herself as she came. Huge amounts of her spunk filled her mouth as she swallowed, tasting her own sweet juice for the first time. Her cock throbbed in her mouth, bumping painfully against her teeth as she shuddered in yet another orgasm. After another minute, it was over, the ground and her mouth soaked in cum as her cock popped out with a wet slurp. Krystal slumped against the ground, exhausted from the experience, and felt her mind drift..\n\n\"Finally, we meet.,\" chorused a multitude of voices from inside her soul.." } ]

Immediately he noticed that, for the first time in what felt like days, he could see light. He blinked, surprised. A long ray of light extended from a gaping hole in the cavernous chamber's ceiling, bathing Sylvester in the warm glow that only sunlight could provide. His eyes followed it almost all the way down to the water below, where, gradually, it dissipated. There he also spotted a couple of large, smashed rocks, which he guessed had once plugged the hole which light was now pouring through. The cave, apparently, was bigger than the cat had previously thought. He was being held at the center of the chamber, but the light only slightly illuminated anything beyond himself. He could vaguely see the outline of the cavern walls, but nothing more. Still, some light was better than\\_no\\_light. Sylvester certainly wasn't complaining. He raised a paw, accompanied by of one of the multliple tentacles coiled around his arm, to his mouth as he let out a long, sleepy yawn. He was thankful that the tentacles allowed him to move about freely, when he wasn't being screwed silly by them. He took advantage of this by stretching his back, like he normally would from a cat nap. The difference being of course that he was lying on a net of tentacles instead of a bed at home. Not that they were any less comfortable than his old bed. In fact, they seemed to support his weight perfectly, allowing him to shift in any position he wanted to, or having them move him around so as to make him as comfortable as possible. The moment he would start to get uncomfortable, his body would be guided to the most relaxing position possible. Not to mention the fact that they gave absolutely amazing massages, usually before or after their \"playtime\". It was almost as if they could read his mind, with how well they manipulated his body. Sylvester wouldn't be too surprised if that was the case. And speaking of reading his mind...\n\nSylvester felt his slithering companions shake and vibrate as he stretched and yawned, as if they too were waking up. His tail twitched with anticipation, though it too was being held by a tentacle. He knew what would be coming next...\n\nSure enough, the tentacles started to shift around, caressing first his legs, then working their way up past his groin, and to his chest. New ones rose up from the pool below, dripping wet with a mix of water, and they're own special slime. Sylvester's tentacle massage was about to begin. And, Sylvester thought with a smile and a swish of his tail, now being restricted entirely by the tentacles, after this comes the fun part. He was placed in his usual position: lying \"face down\", his arms and legs spread outward, each accompanied by a series of coiling, caressing tentacles. Two more sets of thick tentacles were wrapped around his upper body. One, just above his groin. The second, around his chest. Each adding their own individual touch to the relaxing and...arousing massage his body was receiving. Another tentacle began to coil around his neck, tilting his head upwards slightly. Eager, he opened his mouth wide. He knew what to expect. The first time he had experienced it, he had resisted. Now, with mouth open, drooling, he let a thick, oozing tentacle slide into his maw, and rest gently onto his tongue, which was already licking up and down the foreign appendage. He had gotten used to the taste of the slime. At first, he found it rather hard to swallow. But after probably drinking a few gallons of the stuff over time, he found that it wasn't all that bad. By now he could even detect a somewhat pleasant aftertaste in it. With the cat's mouth taken care of, the tentacles began working other areas of their pet's body. A few of them started rubbing dangerously close to Sylvester's cock, which had already grown half-hard. They danced sensuously up and down his inner thighs and groin, making him utter a soft, muffled moan. Another, slick with slime, began poking at his tail-hole. This was something that he had also resisted the first time, but now he relaxed his muscles, with help from the tentacles, and soon felt the familiar sensation of getting penetrated and filled, making his cock twitch with excitement, and grow harder. Sylvester let out a soft grunt that sounded almost plaintive, yet it wasn't escape that he was pining for, but for the tentacles to proceed, and play with other certain parts of him which were just begging to be touched. Of course, it would be a little while before he was granted such. His body would be rubbed and fucked till he would be humping the air out of the need to cum. Only then would be given what he desired. The whole experience was maddeningly pleasurable. Certainly, the tentacles were good at what they did.\n\nMinutes passed by as Sylvester grew hornier and hornier in the tentacles' grasp. He was now completely filled by the tentacle in his ass, and he knew that soon it would start to fuck him. Slowly at first, then ridiculously fast, like a piston. His eyes rolled from the growing pleasure, and his cock, now rock hard, began to leak pre. This was usually the part when- Again, as if reading his mind, the tentacles took their seductive massage up a notch. Stealthily sliding up his legs, a tentacle coiled around his balls, gripping them firmly, but not painfully. \"Mmmfghh...\", groaned Sylvester. He had gone through this whole sexual ritual a number of times already, but somehow it never got old. He never seemed to grow tired of the way the tentacles fucked him just how he liked it...how they tugged on his balls playfully...how they all massaged him in perfect unison, never letting up once. It was pure bliss...and he got to enjoy it daily. He gave his seed to the tentacles, assuming that's what they were feeding off of, or else just being their sex toy, and he got to experience the best sex of his life on a regular basis. Compared to just lounging about at home, napping all the time, he enjoyed being a sexual food source to this erotic creature much more. He moaned once more, even louder, as his balls were tugged ever so skillfully. He couldn't be happier.\n\nSuddenly, he felt himself being lifted backwards. Still licking the tentacle in his mouth, Sylvester had a surprised expression about his face. His body, tentacles and all, was being moved into a reclined position, facing the ceiling now, but remaining upright, as if relaxing on a chair. What's more, his arms were placed by his sides, and were kept there by more tentacles now wrapping around both his arms and his chest. His legs meanwhile were still spread open, allowing for easy access. Everything felt just as pleasurable as before, and it was nice to be in a different position than the other times, but....it was strange. He was always kept face down when getting yiffed, so his cum could more efficiently reach the pool below him. Like this, when he orgasmed, some of his cum would probably end up on him, a waste. It was certainly a curious change of events...something that he would keep his eyes on. Nonetheless, it was also something that he had no control over. All he could do was wait, which, actually, wasn't all that difficult, since it still involved getting fucked and massaged. Sylvester leaned back in his net of tentacles, toes curling from the pleasurable onslaught. Every now and then he would let out a muffled mewl, like that of a kitten. He couldn't help it one bit, though. With the tentacles induging his every desire, his body practically demanded a moan or two...or five. When the tentacles started to double their efforts, Sylvester figured that there wasn't any special reason he was in this new position after all. The tentacles were beginning to get serious in their yiffing. He knew that it wouldn't be all that long now before they started going into overdrive, and then....Sylvester eye's shone with a wanting lust. He knew what would come after that.\n\nThen, like a distant echo, Sylvester heard something. He recognized it instantly...even from way down here. The \"echo\" he heard was a cry for help, plaintive and panicked. Someone else has found his cave of tentacles, it seems." } ]

The sun was bright and shone in my eyes. As I stared at the warm rays of light coming in though the window I had a vague recollection of a very odd dream. I tried to remember what it was but the memory of it slipped from my mind like sand through fingers. It was warm and pleasant dream, odd but pleasant. I rolled over to the edge of the bed and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, apparently I had been drooling for quite some time. Sitting on the edge of my bed I slowly moved into conscious thought.\n\nI was in a medical research facility.\n\nThey were testing drugs on me.\n\nThere was a really attractive woman working here who had the hots for me.\n\nShe lived across the hall.\n\nI fell asleep in my clothes.\n\nThere was a giant wet spot on my crotch.\n\n\"What the hell?!\"\n\nI must have had wet dreams all night. I touched the spot, a thin string of cum connected my finger with my pants. I felt all warm and fuzzy inside. I felt great.\n\n\\Knock, knock\\\n\nI went to the door.\n\n\"Morning.\"\n\n\"Morning Viki.\"\n\n\"Wow, someone had a good night.\" She said staring at my pants.\n\nI looked down and tried to cover the spot unsuccessfully. I smiled more than a bit embarrassed and blushed.\n\n\"What time is it?\"\n\n\"9:30. Hungry? I brought you breakfast.\"\n\n\"Oh thanks. Come in.\"\n\n\"Sorry, I would but I have to get to work.\" She rolled in a cart from the hall; the smell of waffles and coffee followed it in.\n\n\"Thanks.\"\n\n\"Remember to stay in your room for the next few days. You've been feeling a bit lightheaded recently right?\"\n\n\"Yeah... OK I'll stay.\"\n\n\"Good boy. I'll check up on you at lunch.\"\n\nAfter a good breakfast of bacon, eggs, waffles and coffee I explored the apartment. It was a nice place. Spartan and plain but the furniture was nice, the floor was all tile, top of the line laptop on the desk, very nice bedroom. The outer wall was all glass providing a beautiful view of the communal garden. I suddenly realized that I was still wearing the spunk covered clothes from last night.\n\n\"Crud.\"\n\nI found the bathroom and peeled my sticky clothes off. Even the bottom of my shirt was soaked. I turned on the shower and jumped in when the water warmed. My skin felt really sensitive, I got a warm and tingly feeling as I lathered up.\n\n\"Hmm, is it my imagination or am I a bit fuzzier than usual?\" I asked myself as I examined my body.\n\nI rinsed and continued to rub my chest a bit; it felt really good. Finally I tore myself away from... myself and got out of the shower. Drying off real quick I searched for some clean clothing. In the bedroom I found a chest of drawers. The top was empty; the second had white and black tee shirts. I put on a white one, they were a bit tight but they showed off my chest so I saw no reason to gripe. The third one had some nice blue jeans and some dark tan khakis. I opened the fourth drawer, empty, the fifth drawer sex toys...\n\n\"Wait...\" I shut it without thinking.\n\nI reopened the fifth drawer and was quite embarrassed by what I saw, I couldn't imagine how I would have felt if someone caught me looking at them. There were dildos, butt plugs, beads, vibrators, lubes almost every type of sexual toy made and a few I have never seen of heard of, not to mention the size of some of them, wow. I closed it and quickly flushed red. As embarrassing as it was it I found it a bit exciting. I wrenched my gaze from the drawer.\n\n\"Well no underwear.\" I said to myself \"Oh well...\"\n\nI put the jeans on. The clothing felt great against my extra sensitive skin. Everywhere the clothes touched became very warm and tingly, the feeling would start again every time I moved due to the tightness of the shirt and pants... and the lack of underwear which felt a bit new to me. I was quite aroused from the sensation but fought the temptation to jerk off.\n\nKeeping my mind occupied on other things I grabbed my bag and began to unpack. I put up my books on the available shelving space. I put my journal on the desk next to the Apple Powerbook. My various odds and ends (cards, knives, handkerchiefs, notebooks) I put in the top empty drawer of the dresser along with the now empty bag. Unpacked and feeling more at home I sat down at the edge of the bed and wondered what I should do next.\n\nI was feeling usually frisky that day. I hooked up my iPod to the laptop and pumped some techno through the speakers. I found a jump rope in the linen closet and went a fair speed for about fifteen minutes before I even started breathing hard. After a solid hour of warming up I began to stretch out. I was a bit more limber that usual; I worked out for the next two hours. When I finished I felt great. Now that I thought about it I did have a bit more definition and my muscles felt a firmer.\n\nI took a quick shower and by that time I was rock hard, the exercise was absolutely invigorating. Hormones raced through my system, no doubt in greater quantities than ever before, I started to get light headed and every sensation was pure bliss. I relished lathering up my skin with the fragrant soap, the hot, steamy water cascading over my body, and the dull ache of both my well used body and throbbing penis. I turned off the water and spent a moment just letting the water drip off of my form.\n\nI've never been this hard. I thought\n\nI shuttered as I wrapped my smooth hand around the base of my shaft. A slight moan escaped my lips. I needed it. I need it bad...\n\n\\Knock, knock, knock\\\n\nStill shivering from the physical contact I grabbed the towel and wrapped it around my waist. I opened the door and again stood Viki in the hall with a tray.\n\n\"Lunch is served.\" She said cheerfully. \"Oh... I'm sorry, did I catch you in the shower?\"\n\n\"Yeah. It's OK though. Don't worry about it.\"\n\n\"Alright... I wasn't interrupting anything else was I?\"\n\nI put my free hand over my crotch and turned to the side a little hoping to conceal my erection and laughed nervously. \"No.\"\n\nShe smiled, no doubt fully knowing what I was doing before she came or trying to do rather. It suddenly occurred to me that this isn't the first time she may have cared for someone undergoing the same procedure.\n\n\"So, how's your first day going?\"\n\n\"Fine I guess.\"\n\n\"How are you feeling?\"\n\n\"Good actually, really good. I worked out a bit today. Whatever the doc gave me really pumped me up. I've never felt this fit before.\"\n\n\"Great. You need anything?\"\n\n\"No, I'm good.\"\n\n\"Nothing?...\" She asked suggestively.\n\n\"Umm heh. No, I'm good.\" I blushed a bit.\n\n\"OK then. I'll see you again for dinner.\" She gave me a wink and walked back down the hall.\n\nI was too horny to eat. I tried to clear my mind after Viki left but it was a futile battle. I went online to get my mind off of sex but to no avail (for obvious reasons). As I downloaded some music I began to feel my genitals tingling. Shrugging off the feeling I went back to looking up lyrics. Several songs later I knowticed my hand was rubbing my crotch. I told myself to stop. I used every bit of my mind to try and move my hand away... My hand had other plans. I made one more, feeble attempt at self-control then ran to the bathroom.\n\nTearing off my pants as I ran I stumbled and tripped. I hit the ground. Somehow, similarly to how a cat instinctively lands on it's feet, I feel into a roll without thinking of doing so. A quarter second later I was back on my feet, pants still around my ankles. I stood there dazed and confused for a moment. Apparently not only has that stuff helped my limberness and stamina but it must have also been rewiring my nervous system. Regaining my train of thought, such as it was, I stepped out of my jeans and into the bathroom. Out of habit I tried to push to door closed on my way in. It bounced of the frame and stood wide open. I didn't make an attempt to fix it.\n\nNo sooner had I entered than I began to jerk of furiously. With my left hand caressing every inch of my body I could reach, scratching, rubbing, fondling every inch of my hyper sensitive skin. My other hand pumped up and down my throbbing cock in hard fast stokes. My balls heavy with cum (and seemingly larger than normal) slapped against my inner thighs with each stroke. Moaning and panting loudly I increased my speed; my left hand moved to my rump and kneaded it hard, urging me to orgasm. Nothing entered my mind but bliss, my cock, my swelling nuts, and cum.\n\n\"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!\" A primal, guttural scream emerged from my throat.\n\nBurning hot streams of cum rocketed from my dick, shooting across the room and splattering against the wall with the first shot, the others coating the floor in spunk. Again and again I gushed seed from my over sensitive prick and closed my eyes tightly to live in the moment, to prolong it as long as possible.\n\nAfter the longest, most intense orgasm I had ever had I slumped to the floor on my butt. I felt a hot squish, I had sat in a puddle of cum. It was hot, very hot, far warmer than it should be, almost boiling. A stupid smile crept over my face as I bathed in the afterglow. I gave a breathless laugh and laid back on the floor. Every one of my nerves felt numb from overuse and stimulation. My entire back was covered in my ejaculate. I would have normally be quite disgusted by this but at that moment I was too happy and tired to care one bit.\n\n\"Ohhhhhh... Mmmmm... Yeah... heh heh heh...\"\n\nAfter catching my breath I jumped back into the shower and washed off all the sweat and spunk off. My skin was no less sensitive after a few moments to recover. The hot water, the soft towel, the cool air on my damp skin, the denim of my jeans, all exhilarating in and of themselves.\n\nFinishing I was ravenously hungry, I devoured the sandwiches and coffee on the tray. Still warm and tingling from the orgasm and now full and content thanks to the lunch I grabbed my copy of Crime and Punishment and laid down on the couch. I didn't get two pages into the next chapter before my eyes began to droop. Sleep took over.\n\nWell that's it for four. I'm pretty sure that tings will only get better and hotter (of course) as the story progresses. I have had a lot of fun with this and will no doubt finish this particular tale (piece of smut) in good time. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I hope to finish and put up Chapter five by end of April at the absolute latest, more likely Mid April.\n\nStay tuned next time. Same bunny time, same bunny channel...\n\n(Yeah... That was corny... Sue me... ... ... Please don't sue me...)" } ]

She gave it a tug and pulled out the cork stopper it was attached to. As the hot soapy water started its slow exit to the sewers beneath Mistport, she hoisted her wet body out of the large cedar basin and took one of the soft cotton towels to dry herself off. Hansen was attending to Karma, vigorously rubbing another towel through her waterlogged fur. The Rabbit stood with her arms out and big bunny feet spread while the Squirrel methodically worked her over from the top down. He started with her long ears. Then using both hands, he scrubbed her sunny blonde hair from drenched to merely damp. Hansen used lighter strokes on her brow, cute little muzzle, and over her fluffy cheeks; then gently patted her chin, neck, and shoulders dry before resuming the more vigorous strokes for her arms, breasts, and stomach. The Rabbit closed her eyes and smiled naughtily as the Squirrel worked on her lower half, buffing the cotton over her wide hips and thighs, down to the tops of her feet, and back up to gently swab the tender mound of her sex. Finally, Hansen padded around behind Karma and lovingly kneaded the towel all over her plush butt, pressing and kneading vigorously over every square inch of the Bunny's fur-clad, jiggly derriere, between her soft southern cheeks, and finishing with a brisk scrubbing over the top and underside of her teardrop-shaped tail.\n\nOnce Karma was dry, she took up a fresh towel and gave Hansen the same treatment. He squirmed a bit as she worked the cloth down his sides. \"Ticklish are you?\" Karma asked, reaching around to land a playful swat on his still wet bottom.\" He giggled, \"Just a little bit, love bunn,\" he admitted, \"Don't tell Master, please? Karma laughed with him, \"Don't worry, fuzzbutt. You're secret is safe with me. Besides, I don't think Frelic is into tickling anyway, not much at least.\" She continued working on getting the Squirrel's fur dried out. Naturally, when she worked on the treasure zone between his thighs, his cock emerged from its sheath again. She smiled naughtily, took the hard shaft in her hand, gently stroked it a few times, then leaned forward and ran her tongue along its length, top and underside. Hansen closed his eyes and gave a tortured moan as the tongue bath the Bunny gave his maleness caused him to sway back and forth, weak kneed. Clear lubricating fluid dripped from the tip of the pulsing shaft, which Karma lapped up. Before his loins could erupt with his seed, the Rabbit backed off, then had him turn around so she could finish drying him off. Thissle, finished grooming her mane, was watching the little drama taking place between the two. She smirked and laughed, \"Silly Rabbit. You are such a terrible tease. I swear, you are going to end up driving the poor Squirrel to insanity if you keep that up without letting him boink you soon.\" Karma stuck her tongue out at Thissle, then gave Hansen's rump a friendly squeeze followed by a stinging flick of the wet towel as she finished the rubdown. \"I just might do that,\" she said, \"Shaasta said he is a real pleasure to couple with. But, I don't want to tire him out before Frelic can use him first.\" Hiding his embarrassment, Hansen picked up a hard-bristled brush and started working it over Karma's soft pelt, using short firm strokes to smooth out her fur. While he did that, Thissle took her brush and worked on the Rabbit's silky hair, brushing out the damp tangles. \"So tell us, furball,\" Thissle said, \"How did you and Shaasta, of all people, manage to get yourselves captured by slavers?\"\n\nHansen gave her a sheepish grin, shrugged, and brushed smooth the gold and blue fur of Karma's rump, teasing it to chinchilla-like softness, \"I'm ashamed to admit; we were taken completely by surprise.\" \"No way!\" the girls exclaimed in unison. \"That simply doesn't happen,\" Karma insisted, \"A pair of highly skilled rangers, one of them an Elf no less, you never get ambushed.\" \"Yeah,\" Thissle chimed in, \"That simply defies every single law of reality on the books, and possibly even a few laws of surreality as well.\" She finished fixing the Rabbit's silky locks and idly ran the brush through her own mane a few more times, \"You and Shaasta are the best in your class, so attuned to your surroundings that you know the enemy is out there even before they know.\" \"So how could you possibly get caught with your armor down?\" Karma demanded. The Squirrel chuckled and gave her a playful smack on the ass with the back of the pelt brush as he finished grooming her. He handed the brush off to her and presented himself for his turn. \"That, dear ladies, pretty much says it all. We literally did get caught with our armor down.\" Karma worked the brush down his chest and nodded, \"I get your meaning, but let's hear it anyway.\" \"Yes, well,\" he continued, \"me and Shaasta had just finished a nice long afternoon double-boinking, first in her Elf form, and then in her hawk form.\"\n\nThissle smiled knowingly, her hands sliding up her inner thighs and over the moist slit of her smooth bare mound; the mental imagery of the Furling pressed against Shaasta's down-covered undertail, his hard shaft nested deep inside her hot treasure hole, sent an electric tingle through her body, \"Mmmm, a double-boinking. So, when Shaasta went to her hawk form, did you take her from behind, or did you have her spread eagle on her back?\" Hansen closed his eyes and let his thoughts fill with the sweet memories of that cool but hot afternoon that long month ago, while Karma firmly glided the pelt brush down his thighs; she then padded around behind him to groom the Squirrel's back half. \"Oh, I took her from behind, both rounds in fact. For the first boinking, she was all Elf; down on all fours, legs spread, and those irresistible, round, blushing flanks thrust invitingly up.\" His cock hardened once more, and both Karma and Thissle were quietly squirming as the Squirrel relayed the encounter in fine, graphic detail; a sweet stickiness forming between their legs. \"She was like a wild, fire-maned pony in season,\" Hansen recalled, \"and I rode her long and hard, bringing that girl to the summit of the Mink's Mountain twice before I allowed myself to fill her with my passion seed.\" Thissle was now openly probing herself, three dainty fingers buried deep inside her burning sex, \"Ooh!\" she moaned, \"Shaasta is one lucky Elf. Most other guys would be quite envious of your prowess and endurance, fuzzbutt,\" she complimented him. \"Not many can bring an Elf girl to climax twice before unloading into her.\" Hansen had to avert his gaze as the insides of his ears heated up. He really did bear an inner modesty that countered his outward brazen tendencies; talk of his sexploits was difficult for him unless receiving heavy encouragement such as that currently coming from the two heavily aroused ladies now interrogating him.\n\n\"Well I hate sounding like a sailor or some village pretty boy, spinning drunken yarns to compensate for certain shortcomings,\" he said, \"but I have had a number of steamy years with Shaasta to hone my skills and finely attune them specifically to her needs. In fact, if you ask her, she will vouch for me and admit that I had her begging for me to fill her with my seed. She was thrashing about like a wild filly by the time she reached the summit the second time and my hot juices flowed into her like flood waters from a shattered dam.\" \"Oh, I don't doubt a single word,\" Karma assured him. She gave his furry bottom an understanding squeeze, then went to work on making his tail bushy again. \"Shaasta has told us countless tales every time the two of you paid a visit to WraithHold during one of your adventures.\" \"You and Shaasta are hearth legends to the Halflings of Pinevale,\" Thissle informed him, \"Both the lads and lasses there see you two as heroes of sorts.\" \"Yeah, you have quite an impressive crowd of fans,\" Karma giggled. She finished his tail and brushed smooth the fur on his rump, then her ears dropped back alluringly, her tail twitched, and a suggestive glimmer flashed in her large, liquid eyes, \"And two of your biggest fans are right here in this room with you.\" She teasingly ran a fingertip around the rim of his tight little treasure hole before applying a firm smack to his ass with the paddle side of the brush, signaling that the grooming was complete.\n\nKarma padded over to a low bench and lay face down with her legs straddling the seat, ready for the next phase of their preparations for their evening out. Her legs spread, and her soft pillowlike bottom flirted temptingly in the air, Hansen wanted nothing more than to cover her body with his and give the Bunny's tight love channel and even tighter little butthole a much needed boinking. He could have freely taken her right then and there, and Karma would have gladly received him. After all, she was just as much Furling as he, and almost always willing and ready to drop everything at the flick of a tail for a quick fucking. But now was not the time. The three had a busy night ahead of them, he with his Master here at the Hightail, and they with Shaasta at Hot Summer Nights. There would be plenty of time later to slip his cock into these two sweet ladies. Thissle stepped over to a table and picked up a small basin filled with steaming, fragrant, soapy water, and a pair of thick, round shafts made of smoothly polished wood, measuring approximately twelve inches from end to end. Half the length of these were wrapped with a thick sponge. Hansen recognized these wands of course, and could not help but give a naughty smile while patting Karma's upturned bottom. \"Ah, a rectal scrub. Planning on a bit of tail diving or other uptail fun tonight?\" \"That's always a possibility,\" Thissle said, \"But this is mostly because we may be doing lap dances this evening; and well, that is normally where we prefer to receive our tips.\"\n\nThe Squirrel dipped the sponge end of one shaft into the water and pressed the tip against the waiting opening between the Bunny's southern cheeks. Hansen was intimately familiar with the procedure, having performed it on Shaasta's butt regularly over the years. Though nowhere near as effective as gehennite, a rectal scrub, if done right, provided a cleansing more than sufficient for a hot evening of uptail play. \"Okay now,\" he said, \"On the count of three. Ready?\" Karma nodded her head, her tight little hole clenching and relaxing in anticipation. \"One, two...\" he took a firm grip on the wooden shaft, and in one smooth motion, he impaled the Rabbit up the ass, causing her to give a sharp gasp despite her readiness as the sponge-wrapped rod filled her rear channel. \"Three.\" Hansen pumped the scrubber for several seconds inside Karma's butt, then rotated it left and right non-stop for a full minute, thoroughly swabbing her rectal wall with the hot soapy sponge. He gave it a few more pumps, working it in a little deeper, and with one final twist, pulled it back out, eliciting a sweet sigh from the Rabbit. He set the wet-sponged shaft aside, picked up the second scrubber, and looked over at Thissle. \"Thissle, do you need me to give you a scrubbing too?\" \"No,\" she replied. Thissle was busy preparing a perfume spritzer bottle, concocting a mix of cool water and a very powerful cinnamon-scented oil, \"I only need a deep cleansing after uptail play.\" \"Oh, that's right,\" Hansen said, \"I forgot that even in your Human form, you still retain that Dragon metabolism. I envy you Drakie types sometimes.\" He turned his attention back to Karma's ass and inserted the second sponge, without wetting it down, deep up inside her. The Bunny was of course thoroughly enjoying this. Her bottom was thrust up high, and a sweet sticky moisture coated her sex, matting down the fur of her mound as the Squirrel expertly worked the shaft in her bowels. Hansen used slow, meticulous strokes, taking his time as the sponge pistoning inside her soaked up the soapy dampness, leaving Karma's rectal wall clean and dry. Between gasps and moans, Karma whimpered for Hansen to finish his story, \"Okay, furball, you still haven't told us how you and Shaasta managed to get ambushed.\"\n\n\"Right, so anyway,\" he continued his little epic, \"there we were, coupled together out among the coastal pines, Shaasta on her hands and knees, and me draped over her wide ass. Other than our heavy breathing and contented moans as we basked in the warm afterglow of our shared bliss, the only other sounds were the chirping of songbirds and chittering of small forest creatures.\" He pulled the sponge-wrapped shaft from Karma's depths and slipped two fingers up her butt. \"Deciding it was time to continue our trek, as I wanted to cover as much ground as possible while we had plenty of daylight left, I extracted myself from Shaasta and started to gather up our gear. But that Elf brat had other ideas.\" He swabbed his fingers around Karma's rectal wall, then probed deeper; his thumb and third finger joined the first two and formed a fist inside of her. Her bottom clenched hard around his arm while Hansen pressed onward with his story. \"I was about to get dressed, when I heard Shaasta call my name. I turned around, and there she stood atop a large flat boulder, her arms spread and her eyes glowing a soft emerald green. She flashed an alluring smile my way, then a green aura matching her eyes shimmered around her body, and she transformed. When the emerald halo about her faded, Shaasta had fully shifted to her hawk form. Her large wings gracefully spread wide for balance, she perched daintily on that rock. She didn't waste any time. Despite not being able to speak while she was a bird, Shaasta's motions and mannerisms left no doubt in my mind what she wanted.\" He pulled his fist from the Bunny's butt, slipped his fingers into his mouth, and savored Karma's unique flavor as if sampling a fine wine. \"Perfect,\" was his assessment, \"clean enough for the deepest taildive.\" Karma giggled, then gasped and tensed up when Thissle knelt behind her and probed her tongue deep up her freshly cleaned rear chamber, the copper-haired girl's face buried between the plush hills of the Bunny's bottom to test Hansen's claim. Satisfied with the Squirrel's work, she pulled back, sat down on the bench beside Karma, and gave the Rabbit an approving slap on the rump, \"Delicious,\" she declared, \"You should be able to carry a buttload of coin under your tail by the time were are finished for the night, boink bunny.\"\n\nHansen nodded, \"Now, where was I? Oh yes, Shaasta had transformed and was now in her hawk form. Her body language more than made up for her inability to speak. She turned her ass end towards me, and with her wings spread, she leaned forward so that her front half was pressed against her rocky perch and her back half was flirted up in the air before me, tailfeathers fanned out and raised to expose the soft creamy white down of her bird butt with its tight little opening pulsing and flexing, awaiting fulfillment.\" Karma started to get up, but Thissle stopped her, pushing her back down on the bench, \"Not yet, Bunny,\" she said. She picked up the spritzer bottle she had prepared earlier and attached a long, round applicator tip, with a hole in the end as well as a number of smaller holes along the surface, to the flexible tube sticking out from the top. \"We're going to try out this cinnamon scent oil I bought at the apothecary today.\" She motioned for Hansen to resume the tale while she worked the Rabbit's tail. But the Squirrel was too distracted by what Thissle was doing to Karma to continue just yet. Thissle inserted the applicator up Karma's butt and squeezed the bulb on the spritzer, sending a spray of cinnamon oil and water into the warm depths beneath her tail. Karma gave a soft moan at first, as the solution coated her rectal wall, feeling pleasantly cool but with an underlying tingle that sent shivers through her body. But soon, the coolness gave way to a burning that filled her entire nether passage and turned her pleasured shivers to agonized writhings so intense that Thissle had to hold her down. She gave the Rabbit a second dose of the fiery potion, then pulled the tube from her butt and continued to hold her until the burn faded to a mildly stinging warmth. Thissle gently stroked Karma's rump, silently comforting her and inviting Hansen to taste again the Rabbit's tail. He knelt behind her as Thissle had done and pressed his muzzle between her cheeks. The strong aroma of cinnamon mingled with Karma's own natural scent filled the Squirrel's nose and renewed his arousal. His tongue entered the hot opening of the Bunny's ass and lapped at the spicy oil coating her inner flesh. \"All I can say is amazing!\" he declared, as he looked back up at Thissle and licked his chops, \"her taste was exquisite before you spritzed her. But now, her flavor is pure ambrosia. I bet Master would be quite pleased if you cinnamoned my butt.\" \"I know he will be quite pleased, fuzzbutt,\" Thissle replied, as she removed the used applicator from the spritzer and replaced it with a fresh one. She handed the perfume bottle to Hansen, helped Karma to her feet, and took her place on the bench; face down, perky breasts pressed against the wooden seat, feet on the floor, and ass in the air. \"Cinnamon is one of his favorite flavors. But before you get it, you have to finish the story of how you and Shaasta got caught with your armor down.\" Hansen buried his muzzle in Thissle's bottom and moistened her butthole with his tongue. Her natural scent was like the sweetness that permeates the air right before an electrical storm. He inserted the tube up her butt and gave the spritzer's bulb two squeezes, spraying the stinging cinnamon mist into Thissle's back passage just as she had done to Karma earlier. Unlike the Furling Rabbit, however; Thissle's moans and squirmings were of pure pleasure from beginning to end.\n\nThe Squirrel set the bottle aside, sampled a taste of Thissle's ass, then finally resumed his tale of tail. \"So there was Shaasta, looking every bit as hot in her bird form as she does in her Elven form, her beautiful feathered ass presented invitingly for stuffing. I knelt behind her and slipped my tongue into her hot, pulsing opening to get her properly slicked up, taking care to probe as deep as possible; I knew from extensive previous experience that this was going to be an unfathomably tight ride.\" \"That really got her squirming, and even moreso when I primed her by planting a good dozen open-handed swats under her tailfeathers. By the time my paw struck her down-covered ass that twelfth time, that feathered honey was more than ready, chirping and squawking frantically for me to take her.\" \"You know,\" Karma advised him, \"you really should keep a journal of your adventures. The way you tell them, you could easily make a fortune with your tales.\" Thissle sat up, the cinnamon perfume now properly absorbed into the inner flesh of her nether chamber. She agreed with Karma, \"She's right, y'know. In fact, not only could you be a best seller for your hot steamy epics, you could also do well writing text books and educational quarterlies for the Mink's Elite. That's something to think about, at least.\" Hansen smiled and blushed at the suggestions, \"I may do just that one of these days. But anyway, as I was saying, after I warmed her feathered butt with a spanking, Shaasta was primed and ready for stuffing. Not wanting to keep my squirming lovebird waiting any longer, I gently draped my body over hers, wrapped my arms around her, and pulled her close to me.\" He paused briefly and closed his eyes, nearly coming to an orgasm as he let his mind recall every last vivid detail of that moment in time.\n\n\"I slid my cock to the hilt up inside her, and rode her for at least a full thirty minutes or more. And I must say, as an Elf, Shaasta is one of the sweetest pleasures imaginable, and Master is indeed most fortunate to have her as his pet. But Shaasta the Elf pales in comparison to Shaasta the hawk.\" He reached down between his legs and gave his hard, pulsing shaft a firm squeeze. \"That girl has tremendous talent that puts the Order of the Mink's lads and lasses to shame. Her nesting chamber is incredible, so wonderfully hot and such a tight fit, I actually had to fight hard to keep from planting my seed in her the instant her treasure hole closed around my cock and I plumbed her ornithian depths. Over that half hour, we glided to the summit of the Mink's Mountain together three times. In fact, we not only went to the summit, we soared high above the peak each time; by the time we landed, her love chamber was full of Furling passion juices.\" Thissle smiled and was blushing at the graphic details Hansen was providing of his avian sexcapade with Shaasta, \"Yeah, I've heard bird boinking is an experience like no other. We've had Cloud Rangers from Aquillia visit Pinevale, and their tales of how they have to frequently service their mounts matches your experiences with Shaasta. And a few of them have told me that in my small Dragon form, I am a match for their feathered lovers.\" \"I will have to test that claim soon, you know,\" Hansen warned her, then went back to his story, \"Still fired up, Shaasta was writhing and squawking under me, wanting more. So I extracted my shaft from under her tailfeathers for a brief moment, then slipped it back into her treasure hole, thrusting even harder than before.\" \"Another half hour and another five trips above the summit, and we were both spent at last. I pulled out of her, sat down on the rock, and cuddled her on my lap for a few minutes. She was cooing like a dove and nuzzling her beak over my face and neck, gently preening me while I stroked my fingers through her feathers; down her breast and thighs, and her soft undertail.\" \"After we recovered, she leaped to the ground and became an Elf again. Still reeling a little from the after effects of our passion high, we were taking our time getting dressed. That was when I heard Shaasta shout out a pained cry. I quickly turned around to see what the problem was just in time to watch her crumple to the ground with a dart pierced deep in her rump. I rushed over to her, crying her name. But before I could reach her, I felt a sharp pain in my bottom, like the sting of a Sprite Dragon, then felt a deep, numbing heat spread out through my body from where the dart had struck me. The world swirled around me, and all went dark.\"\n\n\"Ooh,\" Karma said, \"tranq dart in the ass, that's the most effective way to take down an otherwise elusive prey like you and Shaasta.\" She patted him reassuringly on the shoulder, \"So don't feel too bad about it. Even if you had been fully alert, it would still have been difficult to avoid being taken down like that.\" Hansen shook his head and sighed, \"We could have easily avoided it,\" he argued, \"All we had to do was take Frelic's advice he gave us before we set out to heart, and avoided traveling along the Northwest Coast.\" Thissle gave him a comforting hug, \"Don't punish yourself over your decisions, fuzzbutt,\" she popped him on the ass with one hand, \"Leave that to us. And look on the bright side. Had you not been taken by slavers, you would not have become Frelic's pet. And from the way you have been behaving since Master brought you back from the Southern Rose, it looks to me as if you really do like this new life you have entered into.\" He smiled as Thissle guided him down onto the bench, and positioned him with his bottom thrust up, ready to receive the cinnamon oil, \"Yes, I suppose you are right,\" he agreed.\n\n\"I'm always right,\" Thissle reminded him. She replaced the applicator on the spritzer bottle and knelt behind him while Karma held his tail up out of the way so she could slip her tongue into his southern star. \"And I will admit,\" he continued, \"watching Master play with and discipline Delilah, and hearing the heated tales of when he served as Mistress Triniti's pet and lab assistant aboard the Bloodlust, and Shaasta's own stories of her years serving Triniti, made me fantasize about serving a stern but loving mistress myself. I always figured when the time came, I would offer myself to Shaasta. I never thought I would serve a master though. But when Frelic was probing and prodding us there at the shop, I realized that it didn't matter who was on the giving end of the paddle. I could serve as a pleasure girl to either a master or a mistress.\" \"And Frelic will thoroughly enjoy using your cute little bottom too, furball,\" Karma replied, \"Also, you may not be aware that in addition to his full Elf, full panther, and Furling Panther forms, during his service as cabin boy to Captain Sasslyn and lab assistant to Master Kairo on the Svelte Lady after his rescue from the Bloodlust, Frelic managed to perfect his shapeshifting ability to where he could also transform into a female Furling Panther as well.\" \"So if you please him well enough,\" Thissle cut in, finishing the thought for Karma, \"you may yet get a chance to serve a mistress occasionally after all.\" With that, she inserted the tube up his butt and squeezed the bulb three times, thoroughly coating his rectal wall with the cinnamon spray. \"Oh!\" he gasped, as the spicy mist burned inside him, \"that feels absolutely wonderful, even sweeter than the ginger roots Corporal Wheaton would stuff up our butts in his attempts to discipline us before he sold us to Master Varo.\" Thissle laughed and gave Hansen's bottom another slap, \"You really are an incurable pain slut,\" she removed the tube from his butt and replaced it with his rose from the pet shop. \"You and Delilah are really going to have fun playing together at WraithHold. Now, let's go present you to Master.\" Karma helped Hansen to his feet, clasped his collar around his neck, and planted an affectionate kiss on his muzzle. She then attached his leash to the collar and taking a firm hold on the other end, she followed Thissle back to the suite's outer lounge with the Furling Squirrel submissively in tow." } ]

The wood splintered into little piles by his hooves. A clap of thunder echoed in the distance. The stallion raised his head and peered across the tree line. His cabin sat on a tall hill in the middle of Elysian Forest. From here he could see the encroaching storm clouds.\n\n\"I've got to finish up,\" he grumbled as he swung the axe again. High above the horse a bead of water began to fall. His long brown mane blew in the wind as a pile of wood began to form next to him.

It was a place where he could be away from the past and be concerned with the future.\n\nThe door to the bedroom of the cabin slowly cracked open.

Aeron turned in his chair to see a thin female rabbit holding herself up in his doorway. She stepped forward, \"Is it raining already?\" pushing her face against the window. Aeron stood slowly and stepped behind her. His massive hands ran up her back and rested on her shoulders. His snout breathed heavy warm breaths into her ear. \"I'm happy you're here, Amy\" he whispered as she turned to face him. He was a head over her.

I wasn't sure what to think; had it just been a dream... or something more, like a vision? My mother knocked on my door, to make sure I was up, and I replied with an emotionless \"I'm up\" before I went to the shower.\n\nI took off my clothes from the previous day, and adjusted the water, then stepped into the spray. As I stood there, I couldn't help but let my mind wander. My thoughts instantly went to the boy I had seen in my dream last night, Ryu. He had been so calm and soothing, but there was a look in his eyes that showed so much more; they had shown the same feelings I had been having, and that he needed somebody too; I wanted so much to be that somebody. I continued to let my thoughts be consumed by the image of that one man, the one I wanted to be with forever. It wasn't long before I started to feel aroused by my thoughts, and my cock began to harden, poking slightly out of its furry sheathe. I let my mind completely give way to my desires, and began to paw myself off as I imagined Ryu sucking me off, and vice-versa. My heart raced as I continued to rub my hard shaft, my only thoughts being of Ryu and my inevitable release; a stream of pre-cum was flowing form the head of my cock by now, I was close.. so very close...\n\nI came, a long, loud mew of pleasure escaping my lips as my sticky kitty-seed splattered against the shower wall. I felt my knees go weak, and leaned against the wall for support, panting from my orgasm.\n\nWhen I had regained my composure, I washed myself up, and got dressed, stepping outside just in time to catch my bus. I stepped on, and took a seat behind the bus driver to avoid as much trouble as I could. I looked to my right, and saw another fur in the seat next to mine. I couldn't see his face, because he had a hood over his head, and he seemed to be asleep; at least I wasn't picking up any bad vibes from him. Maybe I could make friends with him later on\n\n---\n\nMy school day went on better than the last; virtually nobody even bothered me... That is, until 7th period again.\n\n\"Hey there kid,\" said the Doberman from yesterday, \"Learn your lesson?\"\n\n\"Yeah...\" I mumbled in reply.\n\n\"Then what was the lesson?\" said the Lioness from before\n\n\"Don't mess with you guys and that you run things here..\" I said reluctantly\n\n\"Good kitty. You deserve a treat..\" Said the black wolf, who, I learned was named Shadow, unzipping his pants, revealing his engorged wolf cock, \"Now enjoy it...\"\n\nI was pissed now! This worthless bastard of a fur thought I would actually degrade myself by sucking him off! I like guys, sure, but there was no fucking way I was going to even touch that wretched cock of his.\n\n\"Suck yourself off douche-bag..\" I said, flipping my bangs out of my face, \"I don't like worthless assholes like you..\"\n\nBad idea on my part.\n\n\"What did you say little kitty? You want to be punished? Well, if you insist..\" Shadow retorted, zipping up his pants, and grabbing me by the scruff of the neck, \"We're gonna teach you to accept your rewards bitch...\"\n\nAnd, once again, I was surrounded by the six biggest assholes and bullies in the whole of the school. I braced myself for an absolute pummeling.\n\n\"Leave him alone,\" I heard a voice say, it seemed so familiar, \"or your next destination is the cemetery!\"\n\n\"So the little freak has a friend... Well, this should be fun.. we'll kill two birds with one stone..\"\n\nIt was the hooded guy from this morning! He lunged at the Doberman, grabbing his head in mid air, roaring ,\"SHUT YOUR FACE!\" before slamming his face into the concrete shop floor. Then he jumped back to my location, his hood falling down to reveal his face.\n\n\"Told you I'd come... Kai-chan...\" It had been Ryu the entire time.. I knew there was a reason I wasn't skittish around him earlier that morning.\n\n\"So you did.\" I giggled nervously, blushing in embarrassment.\n\n\"Here, hold these,\" Ryu said, handing me his hoody and glasses, \"I'll teach these morons not to mess with us..\"\n\nWith that, he was off again, easily taking out all six of them with a quick series of jabs and kicks. He came back to me and wrapped his arms around me; I blushed an even darker red, this was all too much.\n\n\"For so long,\" Ryu began, \"I've always felt there was someone else like me out there.. someone who needed me. And that was you, Kai-chan.\"\n\nI froze for a moment in shock. He said he knew someone needed him... and he somehow knew me.. What the bloody hell was going on? I decided to ask.\n\n\"How did you find out about me Ryu? How did you know who I was?\"\n\n\"Like I said Kai, I've always felt there was someone like me out there, who needed me. So I got a witch friend of mine to cast a spell to find out exactly who that was. And the Ouija board spelled out your name. Then she gave me a pendant that let me enter your dreams, to let me see you for myself, and let you know I was coming..\" Ryu explained\n\n\"That's... weird... But I'm glad you did it,\" I giggled, tears of joy forming in my eyes, \"because I really needed someone like you.. all along.\"\n\n\"Come on, we're leaving...\" he said, taking my paw, and leading me towards the exit of the school.

It was up stairs and down the hall to the right across from Romilda's room. It was painted an odd shade of white that was blue tinted and had transparent white curtains that would flow freely with the wind. His bed had white sheets and covers and was made up properly. He sat there on his bed, a child of 14 years old. He was sipping a glass of orange juice while studying from his algebra book. His room seemed a bit sterile. It had clean cut lines, light colors, the sheets on his bed were starched and crisp. It smelled as though his entire room had just come out of the dryer. The walls were blank, no posters or pictures. There was a desk in front of him, opposite the door, but he preferred to sit on his bed.\n\nThe light filtered trough the curtains as the warm breeze from the spring air came in. It was about 5 o-clock when the phone rang downstairs in the living room. Apollo's ears perked up. His mother answered it. It was for Apollo. He ran downstairs to get the cordless phone and ran back upstairs. His bushy tail swished back and fourth as he ran. He was not allowed to have a phone in his room or a tv. He was allowed to have a radio though. His parents were kind of strict. His mother stressed cleanliness and his father stressed discipline. Together they made the perfect son and daughter, or so they thought.\n\n\"Hello?\" Apollo answered the phone. It was a friend from school, Nwoye. He was a Siberian Husky who was in 3 or 4 of Apollo's classes. They often hung out together, when Apollo was allowed. Nwoye asked if he could come over so they could study together. Apollo put him and hold and went downstairs to ask his father who was sitting in the livingroom watching the news.\n\nWith the phone in his paw, Apollo dashed down the stairs and into the living room. The living room had a lot more flavor to it than Apollo's room. It was a large and spacious room with a light golden color on three of the walls. On the fourth wall, the wall that the front door was on, was flat white and glossy gold checkerboard. In the large living room was a set of nice expensive hand made couches. They faced each other with a table in between. Two large chairs faced big screen tv against a wall with an entertainment center. There were splashed of color throughout the living room. Red flowers, a set of three paintings of a meadow with hills and a small primitive village, a marble statue, an antique Asian vase, and authentic Persian rug hanging on the wall. On another wall was a display case filled with various artifacts and nick- knacks from other countries.\n\nThe light in this room was immense. It filtered in from a wall almost all window that was in a space that divided the kitchen from the living room. Apollo and his sister were rarely allowed to be in the living room for fear of breaking something. His father was sitting at one of the chairs facing the tv. Apollo approached his father.\n\n\"Dad, could I have a friend over for a little while to study?\" he asked meekly. His father turned around, his strong muscles in his chest flexed. He looked his son up and down. Apollo's father had glasses which he peered over to see his son clearly.\n\n\"No.\" His father said simply then turned back around in the chair. Apollo sighed.\n\n\"But dad, we must study together for algebra and science!\" Apollo said in a slightly higher tone of voice. .\n\n\"Look son, If I ever hear you whine like that again, I'll beat you!\" His father said. Apollo was slightly shocked by his father's unkind words. He never threatened him for something as little as a slight change in tone. Apollo cleared his voice and said,\n\n\"Look father,\" Apollo said with a little more bass in his voice a lot more dominance, \"We must study at least twice a week.\"\n\n\"That a boy! You have to talk like that more often, but not to me of course. As your father I must teach you to be a man and I've been doing a damn great job of it so far. You just need to check your tone. A man never begs, he demands. Now look, son, if I let your little friend come over I bet not ever see anything lower than a 'A' on your report card!\" His father said seriously but had a slight smile on his lupine muzzle. Apollo smiled and went back up stairs. He told Nwoye to come over.\n\nNwoye came over with his book bag on. Apollo's father let him in ad guided him to Apollo's room. Nwoye had been there before but Apollo's father didn't trust anyone he didn't know to walk around in his house.\n\nNwoye and Apollo talked for a few minutes about the things happening in school that week then quickly started studying. They sat at Apollo's desk and did the long homework assignment together. The two had finished rather quickly and they decided to re-read the chapter to make sure they understood everything. With their muzzles buried in their algebra books, the studied in silence. It had started to get dark and Apollo's mother called them down for dinner.\n\nShe cooked a roast, baked potatoes, broccoli, home made rolls and for desert they had cherry pie. While at the table, Apollo's mother asked about how they were doing in school and when the next PTA meeting was going to be held. Romilda was 13 years old at the time. She just sat and ate in silence, watching the invited guess as he spoke about school and grades and other things of that sort.\n\nAfter dinner, the family went downstairs in the basement to play a few games of pool since they had recently bought a new pool table but Apollo and Nwoye went back up stairs to study their English. They continued in silence like they were before, Apollo at the desk and Nwoye sitting on the bed. After a while, Nwoye would peek up above his book at Apollo when he though he wasn't paying attention. He did it several times, looking at Apollo's face and muzzle and ears and teeth and chest and grey fur and paws and fine clothes.\n\n\"What?\" Apollo asked with a smirk on his muzzle.\n\n\"Nothing. . . nothing.\" Nwoye said shaking his head. \"It's just that the words seem to be blurring on the page. Could . . . could we share a book? Like you read one page and I'll read another?\"\n\nApollo thought nothing of it and agreed that it was a good idea. He stood up and went over to his bed with the crisp starched sheets where Nwoye was sitting. The room was lit by a small lamp over on the desk. Apollo picked up the book and began to read a page from the English book. Nwoye slowly moved closer to him as he was reading. He pretended that he was reading along as Apollo read but he wasn't. He was only admiring Apollo's blue eyes, thinking to himself,\n\n\"Apollo is a really unique guy. His fur is . . . strange, yet perfect. A reddish tented grey. . . he always smells like fresh linen and his fur is always so soft and so clean.\" he thought as he sniffed Apollo's fur lightly. Apollo's words started to fade away to the background. \"He is so nice and . . . and clean and neat. He is the only freshmen I know who wears pressed slacks, a crisp business shirt and tie everyday even though we don't have to wear uniforms at our school. He's like . . . a completely different breed of wolf! He's as sexy as a fox, but can be as dominate as a wolf. . . I want to touch him! But what will he think?\" Nwoye thought to himself.\n\n\"Hey Apollo.\" Nwoye said interrupting his reading. \"We have been friends for a long time now, right?\"\n\n\"Uh, yeah. Since like the beginning of middle school.\" Apollo said.\n\n\"And . . . I remember one day last year when you asked me, who did I like better: Laura or Tamara and I didn't respond . . . remember?\" Apollo nodded.\n\n\"Yeah, I remember that. It was the day they both asked you out when we graduated to high school, you lucky dog! . . . Why did you turn them both down? You would have had a date for that weekend. Instead, you decided to hang out with me.\" Apollo asked.\n\n\"Yeah. That's because . . .\" Nwoye trailed off at the end.\n\n\"Because of what?\"\n\n\"Because . . . because I liked you more, Apollo.\" Nwoye said softly. Apollo sat still for a moment. He didn't really know what to think. People don't really say things like that to him.\n\n\". . . you like me . . . more than them?\" Apollo asked softly to the husky on his bed. Nwoye had his head down almost in shame.\n\n\"I like you more than you even know. I want to be with you. Every since I first met you . . . I wanted to . . . kiss you.\" The husky said embarrassed. The fur on his face turned slightly red. Nwoye stood up and was about to go. \"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything.\" he walked slowly to the door.\n\n\". . . I couldn't think of anyone else I would want to kiss . . . but you. . . Nwoye.\" Apollo said. The husky stopped and turned around. Apollo stood up and walked closer to him. Nwoye wrapped his paws around Apollo's waist. Apollo wrapped his around Nwoye's. They pulled each other close until they were muzzle to muzzle, chest to chest. Apollo could feel Nwoye's fast heat beat against his chest. Nwoye's cock was hard since they first sat next to each other and so was Apollo's. They pressed their lips together and kissed. Their tongue dancing across each other sharing a breath. They held the kiss for as long as they could. Something scraped against the door and they parted quickly, but no one came in.\n\nNwoye ran his paws against Apollo's crisp pressed shirt and unbuttoned it while Apollo licked the husky's head fur. Apollo quickly too off his shirt, took off his belt and unzipped his pants instinctively. Even though he had never done this before, he knew what to do. He slid off the husky's shirt and Nwoye took off he jeans. They kissed each other deeply again, not knowing what was to come next. Apollo pressed his paws against the husky's soft fur. They finally broke the kiss and the husky looked down at the wolf's hard cock, his know was already starting to form.\n\nThe husky licked the side of Apollo's muzzle then down to his neck and then his chest. He then gently grabbed the wolf's ball sack and massaged it softly. Nwoye then got down on his knees and before Apollo could say anything, the put his cock into his muzzle and began sucking it while massaging his balls. The Husky's warm moist muzzle took Apollo by surprise. This was an entirely new sensation for him. The husky's tongue moved all over the wolf's cock. Small jets of pre cum sprayed out each time he reached the tip of his cock. Apollo put his paws on Nwoye's head as he bobbed up and down his length.\n\nApollo backed up a little and sat down on the bed. Nwoye never let his cock out of his muzzle. Apollo leaned back on the bed while the husky bobbed up and down while on his knees. The pleasure was intense. Nwoye swallowed every drop of his friend's pre cum as it squirted out from his tip. It tasted good to the dog.\n\nApollo moaned as Nwoye squeezed his knot hard as he could as he sucked on the opening at the tip of his cock. Nwoye's cock was dripping pre all over the front of Apollo's bed. He reached down and started stroking it fast and hard as he sucked on his best friends's cock. Apollo started to buck his hips, pushing his hard cock deep into the husky's throat.\n\n\"I'm . . . I'm . . .\"Apollo tied to say in between moans. \"I'm going to explode!\" The wolf finally said as his muscles tensed up and he shoved his 7 inch lupine cock into his friend's muzzle as deep as it could go and unloaded his seed down his throat. The first blast went down Nwoye's throat and caught him off guard. The second strong blast filled his muzzle and before he could swallow it, another load jetted out of the tip of his friend's cock and into his muzzle. It spilled out of his muzzle and down his chin to the floor. He never took the cock out of his paws. Another strong spray of cum spilled out and covered Nwoye's face in hot, sticky, white wolf cum, then another and another.\n\nNwoye swallowed the load in his muzzle and put the spurting cock back into his muzzle and caught the last few weak squirts and swallowed them quickly. Then, through all of the excitement, he erupted into a fountain of cum all over the side of Apollo's bed. It came out quickly and thickly and ran to the floor into a puddle by Apollo's feet. Apollo was exhausted, but he sat up anyway. After he licked up the last drops, Nwoye joined Apollo on the bed and they enjoyed another sweet kiss. Apollo licked his friend's muzzle clean of the load that he sprayed on him. It tasted good to both of the 14 year old boys. Apollo noticed that his feet were wet and looked down to see that it was in a puddle of Nwoye's sweet cum.\n\nNeither of the boys noticed it, but while Apollo climaxed, small things in the room began to shake and lift off the ground or table that it was on. Apollo's fur became a light orange and his eyes became orbs of crystal blue with no whites. As soon as he stopped cumming, he reverted back to his original frame.\n\nApollo leaned against the husky and they kissed again. Nwoye was still had a few drops of cum squirting out onto Apollo's balls and cock and bed. Apollo leaned down and sucked the tip of his friend's cock and go a few squirts of cum on his muzzle. He licked it off.\n\n\\* \\* \\\n\nThat night, Apollo's father drove Nwoye home. He didn't live too far. When they got home, Apollo's mother inspected his room to make sure that was clean. She immediately noticed the smell of cum and found out what Apollo and Nwoye had been doing. His little sister, Romilda was sent to the basement and Apollo got a sound beating that night.\n\nThe next day, Apollo's father apologized to him. His father was always striving to be the best father that he could . . . at the time. He fully accepted his son to be gay and allowed them to see each other, but if he ever got his room that dirty again his mother promised to break his arms off and beat him with them. She gave him the bleach and other cleaning solvents and put him on a 'Clean Punishment'.\n\nA 'Clean Punishment' was when Apollo or his sister had to do the chores of the house for a month by their mother's strict standards. She often wore white gloves and she would touch everything in the house to see if it had been cleaned good enough. She also gave Apollo the iron and the ironing board. Ironing was the hardest part of a \"Clean Punishment'. Apollo had to iron everything cloth in the house including curtains, sheets and bed spreads in everyone's room.\n\nTo Apollo, it was worth it all to find the love of his life and to be accepted for his discussion. He came up to his father as a man and said that night,\n\n\"Father, I love this man and I WILL spend my time with him weather you like it or not!\" His father was filled with both pride and anger, but was mostly proud that his son took a stand for something he belied in. . .\n\nThis was before the change. Before Apollo's parents started to . . . lose it.\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nThe last day of Apollo's 'Clean Punishment' was over. He went up to his room and sat down on his bed. He thought about his time with Nwoye and started to get hard. This time he noticed something as he body became warmer than usual, then he couldn't breathe! He fell to the floor, gasping for air, clinching the carpet on the floor. He was suddenly able to breathe again and stood up, but then it felt like he was hit with a ton of bricks to his chest. He fell back down and was out like a light.\n\nHis mother and father heard him fall to the ground. His little sister Romilda was over a friends house. They ran up to his room and were afraid to open the door. They heard unusual growling and rumbling like thunder. Apollo's father opened the door. Apollo was suspended in the air surrounded by a whirlwind of uncontrollable power. Everything in the room was revolving around Apollo who was still unconscious. His head was facing straight up and his arms pointing out. He had changed physically as well. His fur was turning a deep shade of orange and more fluffed out. His eyes had no whites to them, they were just crystal blue orbs in his head. His teeth became longer and sharper in his muzzle. His paws had sharper claws. The tips of his ears were the same color as his eyes.\n\nThe lights in the house started to dim. His parents suddenly became weak and Apollo's mother fell to the floor. His father used all the strength he had to push his way into the whirlwind. He was knocked back to the wall in the hallway. He got up and ran to his room a quickly came back with a book. He opened it and then looked at his son suspended in mid air, seemingly possessed by some devil.\n\n\". . . A Blue . . .\" Apollo's father said. He quickly turned to page in the book in his paws. He then recited a few lines: \"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [what Apollo's father said cannot be known at this chapter of the story]\n\nThere was a clap of thunder and suddenly Apollo fell to the floor, fully conscious. Everything that was revolving around him in a whirlwind fell to the ground. The lights came back on and Apollo's mother regained her strength. His parents ran over to him, but when Apollo saw his mother, there was another burst of energy. The fallen items in the room went back to their rightful place as though nothing had happened at all. Books went back onto the bookcase, the bed got back into order, the white curtains returned over the windows, his desk turned back over and everything was put back in place. Then everything went silent again . . .\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\n\"I swear I don't know what happened!\"\n\nApollo only said that he was thinking about Nwoye, which was true, but they didn't believe him.\n\n\"Just think son! Think back to yesterday! What did you do?\" His father said.\n\n\"I don't know!\" Apollo cried. His parents investigated him to end for months.\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nTwo Years Later . . .\n\n\"He did what we have tried to do for decades! He must know something we don't!\" Apollo's mother said.\n\n\"Of course he does! He's just not telling us!\" His father said.\n\n\"For all this time, we have asked him and he refused to tell us! Even Romilda won't tell us. According to the book, only one male and one female will be born of a fox and wolf on the same day, not as twins, and will be cursed to be Were. That means that she knows of the powers too. They must be working together for some reason to keep this knowledge away from us.\" Apollo's mother said.\n\n\"I hid all of the books from them, there is no way either of them could learn of their full potential. We know all there is to know about the were curse but the one thing we don't know is how to induce it's power ad Apollo did.\"\n\n\"We have only once choice, once and for all . . . you know what we have to do.\" Apollo's mother said.\n\n\"Are u sure you want to do that to your own son? That was our last resort to find out their secret.\"\n\n\"After all we have done to obtain this power, all of the experiments, all of the blood transfusions, all of the lost children . . .\" Apollo's mother had lost three children before they were born. Apollo and Romilda were the only two that survived and Apollo made it his duty to keep his little sister safe. \"I am ready . . . to do anything!\"\n\n\"This Saturday then.\" His father said.\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nThe Day Apollo Died\n\n\"Tell us what you did that day, Apollo!\" His father yelled. They were in the middle of the woods far away from the city. The sun had not risen yet.\n\n\"I tell you, I do not know!!!\" Apollo pleaded. His father hit him on the top of his head with the bolt rifle in his paws. He fell to the ground.\n\n\"Tell us! Tell us now or I swear to goodness, we will shoot you where you stand!\" His mother said. At this point the both of them were power hungry, jealous, and greedy. It had gotten the best of them over the last two years since Apollo's incident in his room. To come so close in their search for power and to be denied, they couldn't accept the fact their son was able to do in less than 5 years what they were trying to do for 40 years.\n\nIn truth, Apollo had no idea what was going on. He wasn't even conscious when it happened to him. After the first few months of his parent's constant questioning, he went to his uncle on his father's side. He gave him an old book and told him to never open it until he was 16 and 7 months and to bury it until then. He made him promise. Apollo's 16th birthday was 6 months ago. He knew nothing about what his parent's were talking about.\n\n\"I'm giving you one more chance son! Answer me! What did you do! I'm counting to 5!\" his mother said. His father had the bolt rifle to the back of his head. \"1 . . . 2 . . .\"\n\nApollo's mind went blank. He told them everything he knew. He just shook his head. \"This isn't happening!\" he thought to himself!\n\n\"3 . . . 4. . .\"\n\n\"I don't know, I don't know!\" Apollo yelled! Apollo's father looked to his wife, a fox. She shook her head and looked down.\n\n\". . . 5. . .\" Apollo's mind went blank. His survival instincts came in and he pushed his father out of the way and ran blindly through the dark woods. His paws were tied together. Apollo's father shot blindly into the darkness several times with the rifle. He heard something fall. He and his wife ran to the sound and since there was no light, they only felt the two holes in the chest and left him in the woods for dead. It was actually a deer in the wrong place and the wrong time. Apollo had gotten away, never to be seen again.\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\nThe day the world went crazy: Revisited\n\n\"I think mom's gone crazy, dad.\"\n\n\"No she's not crazy! Now stop saying things about your mother, you little brat!\"\n\n\". . . Mom told me to get out of the house.\"\n\n\"And yet you are still here!\" Romilda's father said angrily. He took off his belt and beat her with it. He then drug her upstair to her room and told her to pack her bags. Romilda was 14. Apollo had been gone for 2 weeks. She cried as she packed her bags . . .\n\n\\ \\* \\\n\n\"They told everyone you had died and that there was a small funeral with just mom and dad, no one else was invited. When they got back from the small burial, we packed our bags and moved to a different town that same day. . . what happened to you, Apollo? Why come I never saw you again?\" Romilda said.\n\nThe end of chapter 2\n\n\\\\\\\n\nThank you for reading chapter 2 of 'Time's Death' I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I had writing it!

Cuando sonó la campana que anunciaba que el receso de la mañana había comenzado, los cuatro se dirigieron hacia el salón de artes. -es una lastima que aquí no podamos tener una buena intimidad- dijo Paard -si es cierto pero almenos son novios- dijo Sebas -si, déjalo así amor, no importa ya tendremos intimidad en nuestras casas- le dice James -si tienes razón- responde Paard Los cuatro continuaron hablando de lo que Paard y James querían hacer. El receso terminó relativamente rápido y los cuatro se dirigieron a su salón. El resto de la jornada pasó rápidamente. -chao chicos- dijo Draco -hablamos mañana- respondió James Las dos parejas se separaron y cada una tomo un camino diferente. Sebas y Draco tomaron la ruta acostumbrada mientras Paard y James se dirigieron hacía casa de James, este quería decirles a sus padres la noticia esa misma noche cuando llegaran a casa pero Paard no estaba muy seguro. -amor estas seguro de que no se enojaran?- pregunto Paard -tranquilo, estoy seguro, además ellos ya sabían que me gustas- -ellos ya lo sabían?- -así es- -cuando se los dijiste?- -recuerdas esa vez que me salvaste la vida?- -claro como olvidarla, fue le día mas triste de mi vida- -pues cuando te fuiste me pidieron una explicación y bueno les dije todo le que pasaba y ellos al darse cuenta de lo que podía pasar me apoyaron desde el principio- -vaya eso es bastante conveniente- -y tu cuando se los dirás?- -pues mis padres se separaron hace ya casi tres años y yo vivo con mi madre no muy lejos del parque, y como las madres son más comprensivas que los padres se lo dije hace unos seis meses mas o menos- -que bueno, así podremos estar juntos en las dos casas sin temor a que alguna de las dos familias se lleve una sorpresa- Luego de unos minutos llegaron a la casa de James. Cuando estuvieron dentro lo primero que James hizo fue dirigirse a su cuarto y sacar la foto de cuando estaban pequeños, la coloco sobre la mesita de noche, y volvió con Paard. Mientras tanto Sebas ya se encontraba en la casa de Draco. -cariño, crees que les ira bien?- pregunta Draco -no te preocupes, se aman desde pequeños, les ira bastante bien- -pero me preocupa que alguno quede inconforme con el otro, hace mucho tiempo que no se hablaban y no se conocen tanto como antes, puede que hayan cambiado tanto que para a alguno de los dos el otro no sea lo que esperaba- -amor, ya deja de preocuparte, ambos esperaron este momento durante mucho tiempo, arreglaran sus defectos para que el otro no se vaya de su vida- -tienes razón debo dejar de preocuparme tanto- En la casa de James, este y Paard se encontraban abrazados en la cama de James. -amor- -si James?- -dime, ya somos novios o cuando lo seremos?- -pues para mi ya lo somos pero si tu quieres que sea formal será como tu quieras- -no así esta bien- dijo James mientras se acurrucaba en el musculoso pecho de Paard para unos momentos después quedarse dormido, Paard lo miro fijamente hasta que el sueño también comenzó a ganarle la batalla así que rodeo a James con sus patas, cuidando no hacerle daño en las alas, y lo abrazó fuertemente contra su pecho para sentir que estaba allí y que no se iría nunca más de su vida. A James lo despertó el ruido que hizo la puerta de la casa al abrirse, supuso que sus padres ya habían llegado, miro el reloj que había en la mesita de noche, las 6:47, luego miro a Paard, este seguía dormido, James lamió el cuello de Paard repetidas veces hasta que este se despertó. -amor que pasa?- -mis padres llegaron- -tus padres? Ya nos vieron?- -no tranquilo, no han entrado- -que bueno- -bien, ahora será mejor ir a decirles, entre más pronto mejor- Ambos se pararon y salieron del cuarto de James pero no vieron a nadie en la casa, cuando se dirigieron a la puerta de la casa, los padres de James estaban en el balconcito, su padre un grifo de plumas marrones y blancas y de nombre Ricardo abrazaba una leona de un pelaje rojo amarillento y se llamaba Mariana. -ah, papá, mamá- -si hijo- dijo su padre -como ya sabrán él es Paard- -si hijo lo sabemos- -pues él es mi... es mi...- -novio, ya lo sabemos hijo- dijo su padre -lo saben? Pero como?- -pensamos darte una sorpresa llegando mas temprano hoy y para darte un regalo, pero cuando llegamos vimos dos mochilas en la sala así que entramos a tu cuarto y los encontramos dormido y abrazados así que dedujimos que ya había pasado y decidimos no despertarlos- dijo su madre -gracias por dejarnos estar juntos- dijo Paard -no tienes que agradecernos nada, solo prométeme que nunca lo dejaras- dijo el padre de James -no se preocupe señor, no pienso hacerlo- -bien- -mamá que es eso de que me querían dar un regalo?- -ah, si esta sobre la mesa de la sala ve y ábrelo- James y Paard se dirigieron hacía la sala, tal como le había dicho su madre sobre la mesa se encontraba una pequeña caja envuelta en un papel marrón, James la cogió y la observo unos momentos luego la abrió lentamente, dentro había dos manojos de llaves y una tarjeta. James y Paard miraron las llaves durante unos segundos y luego salieron de nuevo. -mamá, para que son estas llaves?- -las que no tienen llavero son las llaves de tu auto y las otras son de nuestro nuevo apartamento- respondió su madre -auto?- -así es hijo, decidimos comprarte un auto para que puedas viajar con Paard tranquilamente y además pronto será tu cumpleaños así que ese es tu regalo- dijo su padre -el auto esta en el garaje del otro apartamento así que por ahora tendrás que seguir caminando- dijo su madre -cuando nos mudaremos?- -en dos semanas, viviremos en el penthouse del edificio de aves del paraíso- respondió su padre -y para que sirve la tarjeta?- -aún no le has dado la vuelta?- preguntó su madre -no- James tomó la tarjeta y le dio la vuelta, en esta estaban inscritos todos sus datos. -es una licencia que te permitirá conducir dentro y fuera de la ciudad durante el día aunque aun no tengas edad suficiente edad para conducir-dijo su padre James no terminaba de asimilar lo que le acababan de decir, tenía auto y lo podía conducir a sus quince años aunque dentro de tres semanas cumpliría los dieciséis y Paard cumpliría años en junio. James saltó sobre sus padres provocando que cayeran los tres. -gracias- -para que están los padres si no es para ayudar a sus hijos?- dijo su padre Paard ayudó a James a levantarse y luego ayudó a Mariana -gracias Paard-dijo Mariana -de nada- Todos entraron a la casa y se quedaron hablando durante horas. Cuando ya estaba bastante tarde Paard se despidió y se fue para su casa. Se demoró unos minutos en caminar de la casa de James hasta la suya aunque era porque en realidad iba corriendo de la felicidad. Paard pasó junto a un oscuro y angosto callejón sin siquiera fijarse en él, desde dentro una sombra lo observo pasar. -Paard? Hace tiempo no lo veía tan feliz, me pregunto que le pasara- Cuando Paard llegó a su casa abrió la puerta sigilosamente para no despertar a su madre. Al día siguiente a Paard lo despertó la alarma de su celular, se baño y vistió rápidamente, bajo y vio a su madre en la sala con expresión seria. -hola madre- -porque llegaste tan tarde ayer?- -estaba con James- -con James?- -si, anteayer en el colegio se me declaro- -se te declaro?- ahora la expresión de su madre era de sorpresa -si, así que me quede con él toda la tarde y por eso llegue tan tarde- -bien, pero la próxima vez avísame que llegaras tarde y tráelo alguna vez quisiera conocerlo- -claro pero debo irme- -chao hijo- -chao madre- Paard no demoro mucho en llegar al colegio ya que estaba caminando más de prisa de lo normal. Al llegar observo a James y a Sebas en la misma esquina de siempre. -hola chicos- -hola Paard- respondieron ambos -donde esta Draco?- -no se, no ha llegado- respondió Sebas Continuaron hablando hasta que el profesor llego. Sebas comenzaba a preocuparse pues Draco aun no llegaba. Las dos primeras horas pasaron rápidamente. En el receso el trío se dirigió hacia el salón de arte como ya era costumbre. Al llegar Sebas vio como Draco se dirigía volando hacia el salón. -cariño donde estabas?- -se me olvido decirte que tenía una cita medica y que no vendría para la dos primeras horas, te preocupaste?- -claro que si, no tenía ni idea de donde estabas, pensé que te habías enfermado o que te había pasado algo más- -pero estoy aquí que es lo importante no?- dijo Draco mientras se acercaba a Sebas -claro y no importa si yo me...- los labios de Draco cortaron la frase de Sebas el cual le devolvió el beso. -pareces mi madre cuando esta estresada- -lo siento pero me preocupe- -no yo soy el que se debe disculpar, ayer se me olvido decírtelo y estaba seguro de que esta seria tu reacción- El resto del receso se la pasaron hablando de las cosas que Sebas había pensado que le habían pasado a Draco. La jornada paso normalmente y las dos parejas se dividieron en el mismo lugar del día anterior. James se mudo a su nuevo apartamento y había estrenado su auto un mercedes-benz ocean drive plateado modelo 2007, como ahora vivía más lejos del colegio lo usaba casi todos los días. Los días pasaron y pronto llego el martes 29 de abril. Las dos primeras horas pasaron de manera normal y pronto llego el receso de la mañana. -adelántense iré al baño-dijo Paard -bien te esperamos aya- respondió James Paard se dirigió al baño y se lavo el rostro, desde que a su madre la habían atropellado se había estado quedando despierto hasta tarde cuidándola pero esto comenzaba a afectarle, en las clases se sentía pesado y no se concentraba bien. Sintió como la puerta del baño se abrió y volteó para ver quien era, en la puerta se encontraba su amigo Simón. -hola Paard- -hola- se dirigió hacia la puerta pero Simón lo detuvo- me dejas pasar debo irme- -te dejare pasar cuando me digas porque ya no te juntas con nosotros- -pues bien, ya sucedió- -que? Que sucedió?- -vamos, no te hagas el tonto- -ya eres novio de James?- -si- -felicidades, y dime desde hace cuanto son novios?- -pues desde el 8 abril- -bien, creo que ya te puedes ir- -oye que les dirás a los otros?- -aun no lo se pero supongo que puedo aplazarlo un poco mientras se me ocurre algo- -oye porque no vienes conmigo? Así podrás relacionarte mejor con Draco, Sebas y James- -suena bien- Ambos salieron del baño y se dirigieron hacia el salón de artes mientras Paard le contaba algunos detalles de su relación con James pero cuidándose de que nadie más los oyera. Al llegar al salón de artes Paard abre la puerta y lo deja entrar primero, cuando Paard entra nota caras de sorpresa en los otros tres, James estaba sentado en una de las sillas de la fila del frente mirando a Simón mientras que Draco y Sebas estaban sentados en dos pupitres que habían juntado, uno bastante cerca del otro. -hola chicos- dijo Paard -hola Paard-dijo Draco mientras se separaba un poco de Sebas -tranquilos, a Simón no le importa que seamos homosexuales- James se levanto y se dirigió hacia Simón -hola Simón- -hola James- -cariño estas seguro de que no le molesta?- -tranquilo James no me importa ni se lo diré a nadie- dijo Simón -y podríamos saber porque no te molesta?- pregunto Sebas -pues mi hermano mayor es bisexual y ha tenido más novios que novias así que ya estoy acostumbrado- -ah ya veo- dijo Draco -bien Paard, será mejor que me vaya para no levantar más sospechas en los otros, vendré de vez en cuando para ver como van, si me dejan claro- -si por mi no hay ningún problema- dijo Sebas -por mi tampoco- dijo Draco -claro- dijo James -bien me voy- dijo Simón y luego salió del salón -amor estas seguro de que no nos delatara?- preguntó James -tranquilo amor, él sabía que me gustabas desde antes, cuando me enteré de que su hermano era bi me comencé a acercar a él hasta que un día se lo dije y siguió hablando de lo que estábamos hablando como si no me hubiera oído así que se lo repetí y me pregunto que quería que él hiciera, era mi decisión y él la respetaba, es hetero pero no le molestan en nada los homo ni los bi- -bien si tu lo dices entonces te creo- dijo Draco, en esos momentos sonó la campana indicando que el receso de la mañana había terminado. Los cuatro se dirigieron hacia el salón de clases. Este día y el siguiente pasaron rápidamente pero el 1 de agosto paso de una manera muy lentamente para las dos parejas, Draco se había intoxicado así que ese día no fue a estudiar pero esta vez llamo a Sebas al celular para avisarle así que Sebas se paso toda la jornada con James pues el cansancio había logrado vencer a Paard y la noche anterior se había desmayado así que iba a estar todo el día en el hospital. Esa tarde cuando James llegó a su casa la noto vacía como era costumbre, se dirigió hacía su cuarto, dejo la mochila sobre el escritorio, se cambió de ropa, cogió las llaves de su auto y salió de nuevo. Unos minutos más tarde se dirigía hacía el hospital en el cual se encontraba Paard. Al llegar pregunto cual era cuarto en el cual se encontraba Paard le indicaron que era el 211. James se dirigió hacía el cuarto que le habían indicado, no tardo más de diez minutos en llegar. Al llegar abrió la puerta y vio a Paard acostado, arropado hasta el cuello y dormido así que decidió sentarse en una de las sillas que se encontraban al lado de la cama a esperara que Paard despertara. Los minutos pasaban y Paard no despertaba así que James decidió salir del hospital y dar una vuelta por los grandes jardines de este. El tiempo paso rápidamente y James no noto el paso de este, antes de que se diera cuenta ya eran las 5:30 de la tarde así que decidió regresar a la habitación de Paard. Cuando llego Paard ya estaba despierto. -hola amor- dijo James -hola cariño- -como estas?- -mejor- -que bien- James entro y se sentó en la misma silla de antes -porque no me dijiste lo que pasaba?- pregunto James -no quería preocuparte y pensé que podría con esto- -pues como puedes ver no pudiste, la próxima vez que pase una de estas cosas quiero que me lo cuentes para que te pueda ayudar- -pero no quiero incomodarte- -Paard, somos novios pocas cosas de las que tu hagas me pueden incomodar y ayudarte no es una de ellas- -gracias cariño- -de nada- Se quedaron callados durante unos minutos hasta que Paard rompió el silencio. -amor lo había olvidado sobre la mesa esta tu regalo de cumpleaños- -regalo? Pero estas en el hospital no es momento de eso- -claro que si, tu cumpleaños es una vez cada año- James miro la mesa que había al lado de la cama y vio una pequeña caja de color azul, la tomo y la abrió lentamente, cuando termino de abrirla contemplo una cadena de oro blanco con un pequeño ovalo, tomo la cadena por el ovalo y lo abrió, dentro había dos pequeños espacios para colocar dos fotos. -es para que coloques las fotos de quienes más amas- dijo Paard -es una lástima que no tenga una foto tuya de ese tamaño- -bien entonces si un espacio es para mi, para quien es el otro?- -para ti, el amor que siento por ti rebasa por mucho al que le tengo a cualquier otro, lo suficiente como para colocar dos fotos tuyas en vez de una tuya y otra de alguien más- se quedaron callados unos segundos y luego James continuó- pero sabes cual es el mejor regalo de cumpleaños que me han dado?- -cual?- -que tu estas aquí, conmigo- -James... yo...- -si corazón?- -yo... yo quería pedirte una cosa pero... mejor esperare- -dímelo Paard, no importa que sea haré lo que pueda para cumplirlo- -no, déjalo así, no importa demasiado además puedo esperar un poco- El resto del día paso de forma rápida. A las 7:00 de la noche una enfermera entró al cuarto y le aviso a James que ya se habían terminado las horas de visita. -descansa amor vendré mañana a visitarte- -no te preocupes, mañana me darán de alta y me podré ir a mi casa- -bien entonces te visitaré en tu casa- diciendo esto James salió del cuarto y la enfermera cerro la puerta dejando solos a Paard y a su conciencia. \"nunca se lo podré pedir, pero bueno no es bueno adelantar las cosas será mejor dejar que el tiempo haga lo suyo\" El día siguiente fue normal. A Paard le dieron de alta mas o menos a las 11:30 de la mañana, llego a su casa a las 12:24, a tiempo para hacer el almuerzo, aunque tuvo que discutir con su madre para ver cual de los dos haría el almuerzo termino ganando él así que decidió hacer unas pastas con champiñones y salsa napolitana como tanto le gustaban a su madre. James llego a eso de las 2:45, toco la puerta, espero unos minutos y luego Paard le abrió la puerta. -hola Paard- -hola cariño, pasa- James y Paard se la pasaron hablando toda la tarde. Mientras Sebas y Draco caminaban por el parque distraídamente mientras hablaban. -cariño- -si, Draco?- -tenemos un problema- -un problema? Que es?- -pues veras, como sabes mi mayor sueño es viajar a España- -si y eso porque es un problema?- -pues mis padres han estado yendo a España y hace poco me dijeron que...- en su voz se notaba un tono de tristeza -que te dijeron Draco?- -que en marzo del próximo año nos iremos a vivir a España- en ese momento Sebas paro en seco -a... a vivir?- -así es, ya todo esta arreglado- -no es cierto, Draco dime que... que es una mentira- Draco bajo la cabeza y respondió negativamente. Sebas no fue capaz de decir nada y solo fue corriendo a su casa. Corría distraídamente mientras sus lágrimas corrían por sus mejillas. Continuo corriendo durante mucho tiempo e inconcientemente llego a la casa de Draco. De allí se fue caminando a su casa mientras las lágrimas continuaban cayendo por sus mejillas. Iba mirando hacia el suelo mientras pensaba en el poco tiempo que había pasado junto Draco. Camino por la calle durante unos segundos antes de que unos fuertes y escamosos brazos lo rodearan y unas alas hicieran lo mismo. -Sebas porque...- -porque no es justo Draco, no podremos estar juntos ni siquiera un año, me demore mucho en encontrarte y comprenderte no quiero perderte tan pronto- dijo esto y bajo la cabeza. -Sebas yo...- -no digas nada, es tu sueño y no tengo porque arruinártelo por que te quedes conmigo- -pero yo quiero estar contigo a cada a momento de mi vida, ven vamos a mi casa aya podremos discutir mejor esto- Caminaron un poco y llegaron a la casa de Draco el cual saco del bolsillo de su pantalón el manojo de llaves y abrió la puerta, dejo que Sebas entrara primero y luego entro él cerrando, tras de si, la puerta. Mientras tanto en casa de Paard, él y James hablaban tranquilamente. -así que tu eres James, es un gusto conocerte- dijo la madre de Paard -el placer es mió- -hace tiempo que tenía ganas de conocerte pero mi hijo nunca te trajo- -con que tiempo eh? Él nunca me lo menciono- luego dirigió a Paard una mirada de reproche- pero eso ya no importa- -tienes razón- El resto de la tarde pasó rápidamente. -es una lastima que te tengas que marchar, la próxima quédate a dormir- -mamá- dijo Paard en tono de reproche -jajaja, si claro, la próxima vendré a dormir, nos vemos el lunes cariño- beso a Paard y luego se fue -es un chico simpático- dicho esto madre e hijo entraron en la casa En casa de Draco, este y Sebas estuvieron hablando toda tarde sobre lo que pasaría el próximo año. -entonces deberemos aprovechar al máximo el tiempo que nos queda juntos, seguro de que no quieres amor?- preguntó Sebas -por favor no insistas, ya te lo dije no me siento preparado- -bien, será cuando tu quieras cariño- -gracias amor- Sebas se levantó del sofá se inclino un poco y beso a Draco. -nos veremos el lunes amor- dijo esto y se dirigió hacía la puerta pero al llegar se le hizo extraño que Draco no se despidiera así que miro de reojo el sofá pero Draco ya no estaba allí, \"que extraño\" pensó Sebas y luego salio de la casa con dirección a la suya. En esos momentos Draco lo observaba desde la ventana de su habitación cuando estuvo seguro de que Sebas ya no regresaría se dirigió a su armario, rebusco entre un montón de ropa amontonada hasta que encontró una pequeña caja de color verde oscuro, la abrió y saco una foto y otra caja pero esta era de color azul cielo. En la foto se encontraba un tigre blanco bastante musculoso, de ojos verdes claros, al parecer de la misma edad que Draco y se encontraba semidesnudo, los boxers le marcaban mucho y su miembro se le podía ver fácilmente; Draco observo la foto durante unos minutos y luego abrió la pequeña caja de color azul, dentro había una pequeña cadena de oro con la que aquel tigre blanco le había pedido que fuera su novio, aun lo recordaba perfectamente, era una tarde de septiembre en la terraza de el segundo bloque cuando Draco aun estaba en el otro colegio. -Draco he... yo quisiera pedirte una cosa- -que es Camilo?- -pues yo... ah... yo...- -vamos dilo, no puede ser tan difícil o si?- -pues...- el silencio se apodero del lugar durante muchos minutos y la tensión entre ambos antropomorfos era tal que parecía que se podía cortar con una tijera. -sabes que Camilo? Si es tan difícil no lo digas ahora- -pero... pero yo te lo quiero decir ya- -pero como veras no eres capaz de decírmelo- -ah...- Camilo respiro profundo saco de uno se los bolsillos de su chaqueta una pequeña cajita de color azul cielo y luego respiro profundamente otra vez, poco a poco se fue arrodillando frente a Draco y luego le tomo la pata derecha- Draco... serías mi novio?- en su voz se notaba el temor y la ternura que se escucha en la voz de una madre cuando su hijo casi muere. -yo... pues... yo... no se que responder...- Camilo cerró la cajita y se paro de nuevo- entonces solo di no, lo entiendo pero quisiera pedirte que no se lo dijeras a nadie- luego se fue a paso lento hacía la puerta que conducía a las escaleras, Draco lo veía alejarse mientras en su interior se debatían el amor que sentía por Sebastián y las ganas de tener a alguien al lado, luego de unos segundos se convenció de que Sebas nunca podría corresponder su amor y que la oportunidad que tenía en frente no se repetiría así que se dirigió hacía Camilo con paso decido y rápido, lo tomo del hombro y de forma brusca le dio la vuelta, Camilo se esperaba de todo menos lo que paso, Draco junto sus labios con los de él y lo beso de la manera más tierna posible, Camilo pasó sus patas por detrás del cuello de Draco y este hizo lo mismo, al romper el beso Camilo tomo la pata derecha de Draco y le dio la pequeña cajita. -gracias por aceptarme Draco- -no, yo soy el que debería darte las gracias Camilo- luego de eso ambos iban a todas partes juntos pero Draco descubrió que aquel tigre blanco que había jurado amarlo por siempre solo lo quería para tener sexo, luego de esto Draco corto con Camilo y se salió de aquel colegio lo más pronto posible y ya sabía para cual se iba a ir. \"Sebas no se debe enterar nunca\" pensó pero aunque toda su vida había amado a Sebas aun sentía algo extraño cada vez que veía aquella foto \"será, será que aun lo amo?\" dijo una voz dentro de su cabeza \"no, yo jamás lo ame igual que él solo estuve allí para pasar el tiempo y llenar el vació de mi corazón\" si eso era pero entonces ¿porque sentía aquel sentimiento cada vez que tenía esa foto entre sus manos? En esos momentos Sebas se encontraba en su cuarto. \"Draco ha estado un poco raro estos días, seguro que es por el viaje a España\" trataba de convencerse de que era eso pero algo en su mente le decía que no era así que había otro motivo uno que Draco jamás le había contado \"será que tiene a alguien más y me esta engañando, no eso no es posible Draco no seria capaz de hace eso o ¿si?\" entre estos y otros pensamientos Sebas cayó ante el sueño. Pasaban las horas y Draco no podía dejar de mirar aquella foto \"no tiene caso darle más vueltas al asunto por donde lo mire apunta a lo mismo, aun lo quiero\" decía una voz dentro de su cabeza \"no, yo amo a Sebas no a Camilo\" decía otra \"estoy seguro?\" \"claro\" \"entonces porque siento esto cada vez que lo veo en esta foto?\" \"porque aunque no lo ame no puedo olvidar que me hizo pasar muchos de los mejores momentos de mi vida\" \"si se trata de eso porque no se lo acepte a Sebas?\" \"porque simplemente no estoy preparado\" \"no eso es una excusa, se que es porque aun lo recuerdo, porque aun lo quiero\" \"pero querer y amar son dos cosas diferentes\" \"pero como se que no amo a Camilo y quiero a Sebas\" \"no eso no es posible, toda mi vida ame a Sebas\" \"quizá siempre ame a Camilo y solo estaba obsesionado con Sebas porque fue el primero que llamó mi atención\" \"no eso no es posible... o ¿si?\" \"como me he dado cuenta ahora soy capaz de todo, antes no le habría negado la oportunidad a Sebas pero ahora no soy capaz de decirle que si\" En esos momentos entro el padre de Draco a decirle que se durmiera que estaba muy tarde, pero al entrar encontró a su hijo en medio de un mar de lágrimas con la foto de su exnovio en la garra derecha y en la izquierda la cadena de oro que este le dio. -Draco- -...- -Draco debes olvidarlo ya- cerro la puerta y se sentó al lado de su hijo -pero no puedo, lo he intentado cientos de veces pero no soy capaz- -pero ahora es diferente, ahora tienes a Sebas- -si pero ni siquiera él ha sido capaz de borrar esos momentos- -hijo sigue intentando, ahora que esta Sebas no puedes permitirte el lujo de estar todo el tiempo pensando en Camilo- -lo se, gracias- -de nada hijo, ahora duérmete, ya son las 3:00 am- antes de salir del cuarto le dio un último vistazo a su hijo: estaba guardando la foto y la caja con la cadena en la misma caja verde de siempre y luego colocó el montón de ropa encima. No era la primera vez que encontraba a Draco en las mismas, ya había pasado muchas veces pero al parecer su hijo no ha podido sacar a aquel tigre de su mente. Los días pasaban y a Sebas le parecía que Draco se comportaba cada vez más extraño: cada vez salían menos, no le daba el habitual beso de despedida, no hablaban casi, como si Draco ya estuviera cansado de él, Sebas ya comenzaba a sentir que se estaba quedando solo y que Draco tenia a alguien más a quien darle su amor. Las semanas pasaron rápidamente y pronto llego el viernes 20 de julio, \"vacaciones\" pensaban todos en el salón, menos Paard, Draco y Sebas, Paard pensaba en que le habría pasado a James que no había ido la última semana, Draco no se había podido quitar a Camilo de la cabeza desde el último sábado cuando lo vio en un centro comercial pero para su fortuna este no lo reconoció y Sebas solo pensaba en lo que haría en vacaciones, se iría el próximo domingo a una finca durante todas las vacaciones, al menos tendría tiempo para pensar sobre su relación con Draco y le daría tiempo a él para que hiciera lo mismo. La campana sonó y anunció el principio de las vacaciones de mitad de año, el trío salio del salón a lo último, cada uno ensimismado en sus propios pensamientos, apartados del resto del mundo. Sebas y Draco se despidieron de Paard en el mismo punto de siempre y como ya se había vuelto costumbre no se dijeron nada hasta que se tuvieron que separar en ese momento cada uno le dijo chao al otro de manera seca como si no quisieran decirle nada al otro o como si volvieran a ser enemigos.\n\n---\n\nHola de nuevo. Otra vez quiero agradecerles por gastar tiempo en mi historia pero esta vez quisiera pedir que dejaran sus comentarios bueno o malos no importa. Write you later." } ]

Surasshu antwortete das es ihm gut ginge, nur fühle er sich etwas leer, als hätte man ihm etwas wichtiges gestohlen.\"Hm, scheinbar warst du wirklich für einen gewissen Zeitraum unglaublich stark und selbstbewusst, aber das ist jetzt vorbei.\n\nWar denn da noch etwas mit deinem Schwert?\", meinte er noch. Surasshu überlegte und erzählte von der Begegnung mit dem Drachen in seinem Traum.\"Da war ein Drache in deinem Traum?\",\"Ja und er meinte das da jemand in diesem Schwert lebt, der schon seit vielen Jahren dort leben muss.\"Das interessierte Vorroth immer mehr.Er wollte mehr wissen doch Surasshu konnte sich an nicht mehr viel erinnern, außer das er unglaubliche Fähigkeiten hatte als das Schwert mit ihm „sprach\".\n\n\"Bertram meinte, du wärst seit dieser Sache bei dieser Mission nicht mehr ganz du selbst, stimmt das?\"Die Frage Vorroths lies Surasshu sich noch einmal an diesen Moment erinnern: wo er der blutenden Echse gegenüber stand, das Schwert in ihren Körper rammen wollte, es aber dann doch nicht tun konnte, weil sein Gewissen eindeutig Nein sagte.\n\nDer Wolf nickte und trank noch einen Schluck Tee.Dann machte er Surasshu einen Vorschlag: er solle ein paar Tage hier bleiben um wieder „Fuß\" zu fassen, quasi ein Neuanfang seiner selbst.Diesem Vorschlag stimmte Surasshu zu, was Vorrot bereits erwartete und ihn deshalb bat, sich bei Bertram, der im Garten auf ihn wartete gehen.Zu dem sollte er sich etwas „bequemeres\" anziehen.\n\n\"In deinem Zimmer müsste sich ein Kleiderschrank befinden, nimm dir dort einfach einen der Kimonos oder der Karateschläge, ganz wie es dir gefällt.\"Surasshu schaute das, was er gerade an hatte und konnte förmlich spüren, wie schwer es war.Ein leichter Kimono oder Karatenanzug wäre da vielleicht etwas praktischer.Er ging in sein Zimmer, warf einen Blick in den Kleiderschrank.\n\nEr überlegte nicht lange und nahm sich einen beige-grauen Kimono.Dabei stellte er fest, dass das Anziehen dieses Kleidungsstücks sehr viel Zeit benötigte, weshalb er sich nicht wundern würde, wenn Bertram gleich durch die Tür kommen würde und ihn fragt, warum er so lange brauchen würde.Doch als er in den Weg in den Garten dank eines Mädchens fand sah er, wie Bertram seelenruhig unter einem Baum saß.\n\nIm Garten gab es unzählige verschiedenen farbige Blumen, ein kleiner Bach plätscherte vor sich hin während sich auch andere Schüler dort befanden entweder um sich mit anderen zu unterhalten oder wie Bertram sich vollkommen zu entspannen.Er ging zu ihm, kniete sich vor ihn und fragte ihn was er da mache.\"Ich sitze hier nur ein wenig und erinnere mich an die alten Tage.\", antwortete er und stand auf.\n\n\"Wie es aussieht hat Vorroth dich gebeten, etwas hierzu bleiben hab ich Recht?\"Surasshu nickte nur und erzählte von seinem Gespräch mit dem Wolf.\"Nun, dann wollen wir gleich anfangen.\", meinte Bertram. Verwundert fragte Surasshu was er damit meinte.\"Na mit deinem Training.Das ist beste Art und Weise, wieder ins Reine mit sich selbst zu kommen.\", antwortete er und nahm Surasshu mit zu den anderen Schülern.Diese warteten bereits darauf, Surasshu als Neuling zu begrüßen.\n\nUnter diesen Schülern war auch Ban´vesu, der von Surasshus Teilnahme an ihrem Training wenig begeistert war.Das zeigte er dadurch, dass er Surasshu nicht wie die anderen begrüßte.\"Also Leute, dass hier ist Surasshu und er wird für ein paar Tage mit uns trainieren.\", stellte der Lehrmeister, ein weißer Tiger in einem braunen Kimono Surasshu vor. Surasshu setzte sich neben Bertram, der ebenfalls an dem Training teilnahm.Das Training begann damit, dass alle einen Holzblock bekamen den sie dann mit möglichst wenigen Schlägen zu Fall bringen sollten.\n\nSofort meldete Surasshu sich und fragte ob er anfangen durfte.Der Lehrer schaute ihn an, bemerkte seine Verletzung und fragte ihn, ob er sich da sicher sei.\"Das bin ich.Das ist doch bloß ein Kratzer.\", antwortete Surasshu. Erstaunt über seine Entschlossenheit, auch mit einem verletzten Arm zu kämpfen lies ihm der Lehrer den Vortritt.\n\nSurasshu stellte sich dem Block gegenüber, nahm sein Schwert in beiden Hände und versuchte dabei, den Schmerz so gut es ging zu ignorieren.\"Für einen Hieb muss es reichen.Ich schaff das!\", machte er sich im Gedanken Mut, holte aus und schlug zu.Der Schlag verlief von oben recht diagonal.Zuerst tat sich nichts, doch dann fiel der Block in zwei Teile.\n\nErstaunt darüber, dass Surasshu es trotz seiner Verletzung schaffte klopfte ihm der Lehrer auf die Schulter.\"Das war hervorragend, Surasshu. Ich bin beeindruckt!\", lobte er ihn.Auch die anderen in der klasse waren von dieser Vorstellung beeindruckt, außer natürlich Ban´vesu. Er saß da, schaute Surasshu an und dachte nur:\"Anfängerglück.\"\n\nSurasshu setzte sich wieder auf seinen Platz.Der Lehrer räumte die beiden Holzstücke weg und verkündete den heutigen Lehrplan:\"Heute machen wir wieder unseren Marsch zum Wasserfall!\"Alle in der Klasse machten nur ein jammerndes Geräusch, als sie diesen Vorschlag hörten.\"Schon wieder?Das ist langweilig!Ban wird doch eh wieder als erster da sein!\", jammerte ein rot-braunes Fuchsmädchen.\n\n\"Kein Wunder, er ist ja auch in den Wäldern augewachsen.\", stimmte ein Wolfsjunge ihr zu.\"Nur weil ich in den Wäldern aufgewachsen bin muss das nicht heißen das ich mich gut in ihnen auskenne.Wenn ihr einen etwas besseren Orientierungssinn hättet könntet ihr euch auch dort zurechtfinden.\", erwiderte Ban´vesu, stand auf und ging bereits vor.Der Lehrer seufzte nur und sagte den anderen, sie sollen sich auch auf den Weg machen.\"Ich komme dann später nach.\", rief er ihnen noch hinterher.\n\nDas Dojo verlassen schlugen alle Schüler verschiedene Richtungen ein, woraufhin sie Sekunden später im dichten Wald verschwanden.\"Keine Sorge, du wirst dich schon nicht verlaufen.Und wenn was ist, schrei einfach.\", beruhigte Bertram Surasshu, bevor er dann auch im Wald verschwand.Allein stand Surasshu da, schaute zu dem Wasserfall, der geschätzt drei Kilometer von ihm weg war und dachte sich nur:\"Wenn ich an mich glaube dann schaff ich das schon!\"\n\nAlso machte auch er sich auf den Weg und war auch schon im Wald.dort blieb erst einmal stehen und lies sich von der Szenerie förmlich „berühren\": das durch das Laub einfallende Sonnenlicht, der sanfte Nebel, das zwitschern der Vögel in den nur so verschiedensten Melodien und der Geruch von frischer Erde machte sich in seiner Nase breit.Was ihn jedoch störte waren die Schuhe.\n\n\"Wenn ich schon einmal hier bin dann kann ich die Gegend gleich mit allen Sinnen genießen.\", dachte er sich, zog seine Schuhe aus und ging weiter.Dabei war es ihm egal, als erster bei diesem Wasserfall zu sein, viel mehr kümmerte er sich darum, vollkommen abzuschalten und mal an nichts zu denken.Irgendwann fing er jedoch an, über seinen Clan nachzudenken, über die vielen Mitglieder, über Alice, Shadow, Hiita, Aussa, Nari, Rieder, Shiba, vor allem über die beiden Neulinge Sylvia und Khad.\n\nSie alle waren seine Freunde geworden, sie alle sind ein Teil seines Clans, sie alle sind zu einem Teil seines Lebens geworden.Und als er so barfuß über den Erdboden ging erinnerte er sich an das, was er zu Luso sagte, als er von dem Drachenherz hörte.\n\nEr sagte:\"Ich werde mir ein Drachenherz holen darauf kannst du wetten!\"Diese Worte hallten in seinem Gedächtnis wieder und brachten ihn zu lächeln.Dazu kam noch, dass er sich seit seiner Abreise von Zuhause vor gut einem halben Jahr deutlich weiterentwickelt hatte; er lernte viele verschiedene Leute kenne, bereiste einige beeindruckende Orte und Städte und ist sogar in einer dieser Städte Zuhause.\n\nAls er an dann am Ufer eines Flusses stand ging er hinein und bemerkte dabei die starke Strömung.Gerade so schaffte er aus dem Wasser und überlegte dann wie er rüberkommen könnte.Dann kam er auf die Idee.Er konzentrierte sich auf etwas kaltes; das Gebirge nördlich von Ilé. Er zog sein Schwert und schlug ins Wasser.Die Spitze traf das Wasser und fror einen Teil des Flusses, der dann zu einer eisigen Brücke wurde ein.Danach machte er eine Siegerpose, steckte sein Schwert weg und rannte über die eben geschaffene Brücke.\n\nAuf der anderen Seite angekommen fragte er sich, was Raio wohl gesagt hätte wenn er das gesehen hätte.\"Wahrscheinlich so was wie: gute Arbeit, kleiner oder du hast echt was drauf, Surasshu.\", dichtete er sich im Gedanken zusammen und ging weiter.Danach löste sich das Eis wieder auf und er ging weiter in Richtung Wasserfall.Und während er weiterging wurde aus dem Wasser aus von einem Tiger beobachtet.\n\nWährenddessen erreichten die ersten Schüler den Wasserfall, auch Bertram der sich wie die anderen wunderte, warum Ban´vesu noch nicht da war.\"Kann´s kaum glauben, wir sind vor Ban hier.\", meinte ein Mädchen kichernd. Bertram jedoch hatte ein merkwürdige Gefühl was Ban´vesu anging.Er wollte nicht glauben, dass er sich verlaufen hatte und rannte noch einmal zurück in den Wald.\n\nSurasshu wanderte durch den Wald und fand dann einen alten Holzstamm.Vor diesem blieb er stehen, fasste an sein Schwert und dachte sich, dass ein wenig Training bestimmt nicht schaden würde.\"Zum Wasserfall kann ich auch später.\", dachte er sich, zog sein Schwert und begann, von verschiedenen Seiten auf den Stamm einzuschlagen.Mit jedem Schlag fühlte sich sein Schwert leichter an, die Hiebe wurden immer stärker, präziser bis er den Stamm in zwei Teile schlug.\n\nDie Holzsplitter flogen an seinem Gesicht vorbei und er konnte förmlich spüren, wie die Stärke durch seinen Körper jagte.Er steckte sein Schwert und ballte dann die Fäuste.Sie waren warm, das Blut rauscht durch sie hindurch.\"Fühlt sich gut an.\", sagte er sich und schaute auf das, was er gerade getan hatte.Der Stamm, vorher eins, jetzt zwei Teile lösten bei ihm eine gewisse Befriedigung aus.\n\nDann ging er weiter, während ein Tiger hinter einem Baum hervorkam und ihn beobachtete.\"Ihr seid doch alle gleich.\", sagte er nur, sprang einen Baum hinauf und folgte über durch die Baumkronen.\n\nSo schnell er konnte rannte Bertram durch den Wald in der Hoffnung, Surasshu zu finden.\"Irgendwo muss er doch sein, verdammt.\", fluchte er hastig und rannte weiter.\n\nEin Ast knackte hinter Surasshu, er blieb stehen.Im selben Moment flog eine Wasserkugel auf ihn zu.Blitzschnell drehte er sich um, zog sein Schwert und teilte die Kugel.\"Wer ist da?!?\", fragte er laut als Ban´vesu von oben herab kam.\"Scheinbar hast du doch ein paar gute Reflexe, Drache.\", meinte er während er sanfte landete.\"Ban, was soll das?\", fragte er ihn.\n\n\"Was das soll?Nun ich hab dir doch gesagt, dass wir unseren Kampf noch zu Ende bringen werden.Und ich dachte mir: jetzt wäre der Ideale Zeitpunkt dafür.\", antwortete er und ging in Kampfhaltung.Ohne das er ihn noch zum Aufhalten überreden konnte griff der Tiger Surasshu an.Ihre Klingen trafen aufeinander, Ban´vesu drückte stärker als Surasshu zu, wodurch er etwas tiefer sank.\n\nKurz bevor sein Schwert zu tief ging sprang er weg und lehnte einen Kampf wie diesen ab.\"Du bist ein Clanführer, also musst du immer mit einem Kampf rechnen!\", meinte er jedoch nur und griff ihn erneut an.Erst von links, dann von rechts schlug er zu.Das Geräusch als ihre Klingen aufeinander trafen war laut und hallte im Wald wieder.Nicht im Stande zurück zu schlagen musste Surasshu eine Abwehrhaltung einnehmen, die Ban jedoch nicht lange aufhielt, da er seine nächsten Angriffe den zögernden Bewegungen Surasshus anpasste.\n\nZudem war sein Arm von seinem letzten Kampf mit ihm noch nicht wieder ganz in Ordnung, er konnte das Schwert gerade mal halten, es aber zum kämpfen gegen ein sich bewegendes Ziel zu verwenden schien ihm da unmöglich.Zudem spürte er den Schmerz mit jedem mal wenn ihre Klingen gegeneinander schlugen, weshalb er versuchte, ihm auszuweichen.\"Versuch nicht mir auszuweichen, Drache!\", schrie Ban´vesu und folgte seinen Ausweich-Bewegungen fast genau.\n\nSurassu zitterte vor Angst, konnte ihm jedoch noch gut ausweichen, bis er ihn am Bein verwundete.Er brach leicht zusammen, keuchte und musste sich auf seinem Schwert abstützen.\"Na, haben wir etwa ein kleines Wehwehchen?\", fragte Ban ihn hämisch.\"Ihr Drachen seid doch alle gleich: gegen schwache seid ihr stark aber wenn dann jemand kommt der stärker ist als ihr seit ihr wie ein kleines Kind.\"Surasshu richtete sich wieder auf und fragte ihn, was er gegen Drachen hat.\"Oh, ich hab nichts gegen sie, ich hasse sie!Sie sind der Grund warum ich Waise bin!\", schrie er.\n\nSurasshu hielt sein Schwert in der rechten Hand, hielt es in einer Schutzhaltung vor sich und fragte Ban´vesu dann, warum die Drachen ihn zu einem Waisen machten.\"Das hat dich nicht zu interessieren!\", schrie er und griff ihn wieder an.Lange konnte er ihn nicht abwehren, da sein linker Arm zu sehr schmerzte, als er das er mit ihm das Schwert halten könnte.\n\nSo konnte Ban ihm sein Schwert aus der Hand schlagen und Surasshu wehrlos machen.\"Hab ich dich.\", freute er sich, wollte gerade zuschlagen, als sein Katana sich mit eines anderen direkt vor Surasshu kreuzte.\"Katzenschritt.\", flüsterte die Person, die sich als Bertram entpuppte.Überrascht schauten die beiden ihn an.Im selben Moment entwaffnete er Ban´vesu und verpasste ihm eine Ohrfeige.Diese war so fest, dass er für einen Moment lang mit dem Kopf nach links dastand.\n\n\"Du bist eine Schande für alle Schüler dieses Dojos!\", sagte er zu ihm und steckte sein Katana weg.In diesem Moment verängstigte Bertrams Blick Surasshu; so hatte er ihn noch nie gesehen: voller Wut und Enttäuschung.\n\nDanach packte er ihn am Arm und ging mit ihm zurück zum Dojo. Auch Surasshu ging mit ihnen mit.Später am Abend saßen dann alle Schüler, Lehrer, Surasshu, Bertram, Ban´vesu und Vorroth in der Haupthalle versammelt.Die Lehrer und Vorroth saßen vor ihm, die Schüler hinter ihm.\"Ban´vesu, ich verbanne dich aus diesem Dojo.\", sagte Vorroth nach einer langen Verhandlung.\n\nStill stand er auf, verneigte sich vor den Lehrern und ging.Doch als er an Surasshu vorbeiging schaute er diesen nur an und meinte:\"Das nächste mal wenn wir uns treffen werde ich dich töten.\"Surasshu schaute ihn mutig an und antwortete:\"Ich werde bereit sein.\"Danach verlies er den Saal, wenig später dann das Dojo. Später dann saß Surasshu unter dem Baum, unter dem Bertram saß und dachte über das, was passiert war nach.Sein Arm und sein Bein waren verbunden worden, doch der Schmerz ging noch immer von ihnen aus.\n\n\"Warum hat er mich angegriffen, ich kannte ihn doch kaum.Und warum wollte er mich töten.Ich versteh das nicht.\", murmelte er leise vor sich hin als Vorroth vor ihm stand.Der Wolf schaute zu ihm herunter und fragte, ob er sich dazusetzen dürfte.Er nickte. Vorroth setzte sich zu ihm und entschuldigte sich Ban´vesu.\"Er war schon immer etwas rauer zu Drachen.\n\nAber das er so überreagiert hätte ich nie erwartet.Tut mir leid.\"\"Ich versteh nicht, warum ich ihn nicht überreden konnte, mich nicht anzugreifen.Ich weis, dass wenn ich diese andere Kraft noch in mir hätte das ich es dann geschafft hätte.\", meinte Surasshu traurig.Dann lief ihm eine Träne das Gesicht hinunter.\"Ich bin schwach.\"Ermutigend legte Vorroth seine Hand auf seine Schulter.\n\n\"Du bist nicht schwach, Surasshu. Du bist halt nur etwas, jung und brauchst daher noch etwas Training. Überleg doch mal, wer hat dir sieht du deinen Clan gegründet hast am meisten geholfen wenn du dir deiner Sache nicht sicher warst?\"\n\nSein Kopf hebte sich und er antwortete, das Luso ihn seit er ihn damals in diesem Waggon zu Beginn seiner Reise traf immer geholfen hatte, auch wenn er am Anfang skeptisch im Bezug auf Surasshus Ideen war.\"Er ist und wird auch immer dein Freund sein.Dieses Schwert oder was auch immer du da bei dir hast hat dir zwar Selbstbewusstsein, Stärker und Kräfte gegeben, aber das warst dann nicht mehr du.Was du ab diesem Moment warst war nicht der Surasshu, der den Clan Drachenherz gegründet hatte.\n\nIn den vergangen Monaten führtest du das Leben eines Fremden, der dann wieder verschwunden war und dich mit allen Aufgaben und Pflichten allein lies.Dein Freund Luso hat dir zwar wieder etwas auf die Beine geholfen, doch ich glaube, dass das nicht geholfen hat.Und ich glaube, dass der Aufenthalt hier nicht wirklich das richtige ist.Du solltest lieber zu dir nach Hause, in den Norden fahren um wieder ganz der alte zu werden.\", meinte Vorroth.\n\nAm nächsten morgen machte Surasshu sich auf den Weg nach Ilé.\"Sag den anderen nicht, dass ich in Ilé bin , Ok?Ich möchte dort etwas Zeit mit meinen Eltern verbringen und das möglichst allein.Außerdem möchte ich auch etwas mit meinem Vater trainieren um nicht einzurosten.\", erklärte er Bertram und verabschiedete sich dann von ihm.\"In einer oder zwei Wochen bin ich wieder daheim.\"\n\nZwei Tage später kam Surasshu wieder in seiner Heimat Ilé an, wohnte wieder bei seinen Eltern und lies es sich dort knapp zwei Wochen gut gehen.Weit weg von all den Aufgaben im Clan konnte er sich entspannen, mit seinem Vater etwas trainieren und arbeiten, sich in der eisigen Gegend um Ilé etwas umschauen, in seinem Zimmer sitzen und aus dem Fenster starren während die Lichter am Abend an gingen.\n\nIn diesen ganzen zwei Wochen fasste er sein Schwert kaum an, es lag eigentlich nur in der Ecke und staubte ein. Surasshu nahm es nur, wenn er damit trainieren wollte.Am Ende machte er sich dann wieder auf den Weg und spürte, dass er sich irgendwie etwas leichter fühlte; nicht in körperlicher Hinsicht, sondern seelisch.Als er dann am Bahnhof den Zug so anschaute schaute er zu den Frachtwaggons, sah das der hinterste noch offen war und rannte zu diesem.Er kletterte hinein, breitete seine Decke aus, legte sich auf sie und wartete darauf, dass der Zug losfuhr.\n\nAls er dann losfuhr schlief er auch gleich danach ein und erinnerte sich an seine erste Begegnung mit Luso und fragte sich, ob es Schicksal war das sie sich trafen.Lächelnd schlief er weiter und erinnerte sich an sein gesamtes bisheriges Abenteuer.\n\nIn CoralPort angekommen begrüßten ihn alle herzlichst und fragte ihn, was als nächstes ansteht.\"Wie, ihr habt nichts gemacht in diesen zwei Wochen?\", fragte er verwundert.\"Naja, wie haben ein paar Aufträge erledigt, sonst nichts.\", antwortete Raio.\"Wir haben dir ein paar gute Aufträge aufgehoben. Wynn und Rockwell würden die gerne mit dir erledigen.\", meinte Shadow zu ihm und zeigte sie ihm. Surasshu lächelte.\n\n\"Danke, Leute.\", sagte er nur leise.Dann weinte er langsam, was alle nicht verstehen konnten.\"Hey, warum weinst du denn?\", fragte Hiita aufgeregt.\"Hat Natsu dich etwa gepiesackt?\"\"Hey, er ist erst seit fünf Minuten wieder hier!Wie soll ich ihn da piesacken?\", verteidigte Natsu sich laut, woraufhin alle lachen mussten.\"Ach es ist einfach nur das ich froh bin, mit euch in einem Clan zu sein.\", meinte er schluchzend und rieb sich die Tränen aus dem Gesicht.\n\n„Clan Drachenherz, du bist jetzt mein neues Zuhause.\", dachte er sich als er zusammen mit den anderen feierte, zu Abend aß und sich dann ins Bett lag um dann wieder von neuen Abenteuern, die er und sein Clan wohl bald haben werden zu träumen.\n\nFortsetzung folgt....." } ]

He was too used to late nights and sleeping till 4. Things had changed then, because of Terry. Jist vowed to take care of Terry. This meant only one thing, the dreaded job. Hooking was all Jist had known, and his education was lacking. Despite these complications Jist was able to find a job as a file clerk.\n\nHe rolled out of bed at 7, careful not to wake Terry and headed for the bathroom. He blinked sleepily in the mirror and wiped his tired eyes. 'I gotta remember to get to bed earlier' he mumbled to himself as he scratched over his belly. In hopes of being more awake he decided to shower. He turned the shower on and stepped inside.\n\nWarm beads of water rained down over Jist's body, soaking down his fur and clinging it to his body. He moaned softly. He had always enjoyed showers. The feel of being enveloped in comfortable warmth. He grabbed a bottle of shampoo from the shelf built into the corner and began to lather himself.\n\n\"Damn\" he mumbled softly to himself \"I wish I could stay home with Terry all day, holding him, kissing along his neck, groping over his dick...\" His thoughts turned red and images flashed through his mind. Some memories, some only fantasies. Thoughts of Terry bent over the arm of the couch, Jist behind him, using his tongue to caress his love's sweet hole. Images of Terry on his stomach, ass raised into the air, propped up on a pillow, whimpering and begging to be filled with wolf meat. Jist's hand instinctively moved lower, giving his sheath a squeeze as it stirred, egging it on.\n\nHe growled low as the tip of his shaft peaked from his sheath but he used a digit to push it back down inside. He pinched the opening of his sheath closed and used his other paw to massage over it. Inside his dick strained as it continued to grow and harden. He reached his paw down to massage over his orbs. His cock throbbed against the furry sock as it strained to retain it's contents. Jist tightened the pinch on the sheath opening, the lining sliding along the tip of his wolf cock. He slipped the paw at his orbs slowly under him, spreading his legs some, reaching up, spreading his own cheeks as he searched for his tailhole. He circled the entrance with a finger, spreading soap there, before plunging a digit in. He began to slide his digit in and out of him. The digit was soon followed by a second and third each sliding in deeper and deeper. He massaged over his prostate and felt his inside with his digits till the ache in his sheath was more than he could bear. He released the sheath and his shaft spring free and bobbed in front of him. It throbbed and stretched in it's freedom, dribbling pre down it's length which were soon washed away by the water. He continued to pump his fingers in and out of his hole, brutally jabbing his sweet spot.\n\nJist leaned down a bit with cynoid flexibility till his shaft was right in front of his muzzle. He struggled to keep his balance in this position, spreading his legs a bit wider to help. He gave the tip of his shaft a lick, tasting his sticky pre. He'd always liked the taste of pre, his and otherwise. He stretched down a bit further, allowing him to slide the tip into his muzzle. He suckled the tip as he picked up the pace on his hole. With his free hand he began to stroke the length of his shaft he couldn't reach with his muzzle.\n\nAlready his knot had started to form and grew quickly to half it's full girth. His mind kept up a constant stream of enticement. Idea after idea of how what he could do to Terry. He swirled his tongue around the tip in his muzzle as he suckled. He sped the stroking of his dick up, not passing his knot now as it would slow him down. The digits inside him stopped and rested against his prostate. His knot inflated to almost his full size as his mind settled on his favorite image. Terry pressed against a brick wall, Jist behind him, holding his leg up, his ass arched out and full of wolf. Jist squeezed a bit tighter on his shaft and pushed down hard on his knot, gradually letting more and more throught till he had stroked over it. He then locked his digits behind the bulbous mass and stroked as fast as he could. He suckled hard on the tip and the digits inside his hole pressed down on his prostate. That was all he could stand. His orbs drew up as they pumped his hot seed up the shaft and out of the tip into his waiting mouth. With each shot of cum he pressed and stroked over his prostate. The force of his orgasm was so great that he almost fell over when it hit. After the first few streams of cum landed in his mouth he slide the tip out of his muzzle and stood up. His heart thumped fast and he felt dizzy. He slid the digits from his hole and reached for something to hold onto as he thought he would fall, finding only the soap shelves on the wall. In the process he managed to knock over all the bottles of shampoo which hit the ground with loud thud after thud.\n\n\\\\\\*\n\nTerry was awakened by the sound of things hitting the ground. He reached over for his mate but found no one there. Now he was a bit concerned . Perhaps the sound had been some accident. It'd be a perfect fit into his former life to have something terrible happen just as he found happiness.\n\nHe jumped out of bed and ran into the hall, where he found the bathroom door closed, steam seeping out from under it. He pushed it open and found Jist in the shower, His body arched back, as if in mid fall, one hand gripping the wall, the other locked firmly behind an inflated knot, a shot of cum spurting from the tip.\n\nHe chuckled to himself. My wolfy. \"Caught in the act!\" He said in a loud mock authoritative voice.\n\nJist snapped his head around, the surprise enough to make him lose his grip and landing in the tub with a loud thud and yip.\n\nTerry made his way to the tub, concerned that Jist might be hurt but unable to hold back a laugh. \"You okay?\"\n\nJist blushed bright red and nodded slowly \"yeah, my ass hurts a bit but I'm mostly embarrassed.\"\n\nTerry smirked and leaned down to kiss the wolf's muzzle. \"Well maybe next time I'll be invited to the show.\"" } ]

You walk lopsided away from the room you're in, looking behind you as 8 tentacles shoot out of the floor and start heading for you. You hobble as fast as you can and there's a brief second of utter darkness before the world bursts into light around you. Now you're outside in a grassy meadow, the laws of physics be damned. You're not quite sure what you're doing here but it's better than back there with those nasty looking tentacles, they looked like they'd do a right number on your tight little ass. You look around at the green, green glades. You would've guesses you were in Ireland but there wasn't a pub within 20 miles in any direction that you could see. Just a \"Tavern\". There's a forest to the left of you, a mountain just past the forest with a large cave entrance and a town straight ahead of you. You note the author is lazy and some of the buildings are on fire, so it's probably not a good time to visit.\n\nWhere would you like to go? To go through the forest and up to the mountain, go to section 3.1. To fuck with the author and confound his obvious dismissal of the town, go to section 3.2 to visit the burning town.\n\n3.1. You set off towards the forest, thinking you might be able to procure some edible food items somewhere inside the green depths. It's a pretty typical forest, densely packed wood land with thick green under growth. There's a beaten path that you assume was made by the townsfolk to get through the forest, and be able to find their way back out. It smells of all the wonderful things of nature, wet grass, bluebells and all those other forest floor dwelling plants that take up otherwise good home building land. After a few sharp pains to the foot paw you realize you are in fact totally barefooted, and completely naked. You don't remember ever being dressed actually... You begin to think of this with your nose in the air, looking at all the lovely dappled, green tinted light as it breaks through the canopy of leaves up above. You're totally unaware of the rustling coming from your sides, your mind discarding this new information as the usual background noise of the forest. However, that very same mind twigs that something might be wrong when you walk chin first into the chest of a very large centaur looking beast. It Snorts at you in an equine way through its blatantly human nostrils and begins to pad gently at the floor with one hoof. The gently sound of the moist path against the hard hoof makes you whine gently in fear. To attack the large, wild beast, go to section 3.1.1. To try and reason with it, go to 3.1.2. To get the fuck out of dodge, go to 3.1.3.\n\n3.1.1. You look for a solid looking object to beat the creature with and chance upon a rather sturdy looking branch. You run to it as fast as you can and grab it by the thin end whilst the sound of hooves charging grows slowly louder behind you. You waste no time in making a broad swing at the centaur, yelling out your favourite baseball or cricket related pun. You close your eyes for the impact, scared at the possibility of the centaur just charging on and ignoring your attack completely but, as luck would have it, there's a satisfying cracking sounded as the branch makes firm contact with the beast's muscled torso. You open one eye to survey the carnage but, to your chagrin, the crack was the branch, rotted from too many nights on the damp forest floor.\n\nDropping the weakened branch you put your hands up and slowly sink to your knees in front of the forest creature. It surveys you with a calm look on its undeniably human face... and then it smirks at you, letting out a deep laugh at your pitiful position. The beast lashes out with one fist and leaves you sprawled on the forest floor, yelping out in pain and grabbing your throbbing jaw. You start to drag yourself away from the beast as it draws itself over you and it finally dawns upon you why it knocked you belly down... The large, equine, member dangling between its hind legs was a bit of a clue too. As it starts to crouch down over you, large manhood pressing against your tailhole, you begin to whine and beg for mercy or lube, not wanting that huge member inside you while dry.\n\nThe centaur thinks this is hilarious and snorts out some form of laughter before pressing down, hard. Your tailhole doesn't offer as much resistance as you'd have liked, being pulled open almost instantly by the powerful thrust of the horse-man's cock. The finely tuned muscles in his lower body means he can work your ass like his cock was on a pneumatic ram and he takes advantage of this, quickly getting to work at violating your previously tight hole. You squeal and cry out for mercy as he begins to thrust in and out, slowly at first, but then faster and faster, each thrust delivering another few inches of equine shaft into your tailhole. And he was only half way there. The centaur was loving the feel of your tight ass stretching around and clamping down on his thick cock, moaning whenever possible to just rub in your face how you were being used like a common condom. Daring to look at your belly, you see a bulge smoothly travelling up and down the length of your soft furred stomach, where the horse cock's head has found home in your colon. You bite down on a tree root nearby to stifle your squeals as the centaur continues to rail into your ass, now finally slapping his sheath and crotch against your furry rear, his entire shaft buried in your tight ass and pumping you full of pre. It can't be long now, you think you can feel the horse cock twitch and pulsing in your ass as he takes you, an orgasm surely building in his loins.\n\nThe centaur lets loose a strange half-human whiney as it takes another deep lunge into your depths and it's cock bulges out in your rear, quickly starting to fill your ass full of it's thick seed. The nuts you could feel slapping against your ass earlier were massive, so this wasn't going to be finished soon. You patiently whine into the tree root in your mouth as the horse creature shudders above you, emptying gallons of cum into your rear before finally pulling free, still spurting some seed over your back and head in a few powerful blasts. It laughs out triumphantly and walks off, dripping cock slowly receding back into its sheath.\n\nYou remain on the floor for a while, breathing heavily, eyes watering slightly as you try and deal with the pain in your ass. Given some time you manage to stumble back onto your feet, wincing slightly as pain shoots across your body from your abused ring, the poor little muscle having some trouble closing back up.\n\nYou ramble through the undergrowth wearily now, terrified of what you might come across next. You know these creatures are out here for one thing, and one thing only. Your ass. Whoever was behind all this was so fucked, literally. You were gonna ram them so hard they bleed, like your colon probably should be doing now. You were gonna nail them to a table with a nail gun and then pump molten lead into their arse, then fuck them with the resulting lump of lead. You're gonna get distracted by this train of thought, but thankfully realise your surrounded on all sides by some harpy looking creatures.\n\nThey're all hiding in trees, rather ineffectively given their bright colouration, but you make special not that they aren't like the old greek harpies, these ones have distinctly avian features. You raise your arms and...\n\nScream a war cry (3.1.1.1)\n\nBreak down crying and beg for mercy (3.1.1.2)\n\nBend over and present for them, you know where this is going (3.1.1.3)\n\n3.1.1.1. You gather up all your remaining strength, bunch yourself up, and let out a mighty war cry to a Viking God of your choice. The avians screech and run away from the loud noise, their uncannily sensitive ears ringing from your ear splitting cry.\n\nYou look to the tree tops and not that almost every single one has gone. The ones that are left cant their head at you, and then find a large lump of stone in their face, you resorting to chucking stones to scare the little shits off.\n\nYou continue walking on your merry way.\n\n3.1.1.2. You fall to your knees and cry, whining out the word mercy now and then through your chocked up sobs. Some of the more proud harpies roll their eyes at your pathetic display while some have their hearts softened by the sight of a fully grown man begging for mercy. Most of the monsters leave as soon as possible, saving you some embarrassment and ass pain while a couple come down to chirrup at you and nudge at your tear stained cheeks, in an attempt to try empathy for a change. You shrug them off and they look taken aback, but soon leave too, leaving you to your pathetic crying.\n\nThe moment they're all gone you take a cautious look around before getting up and running away from that area of the woods as fast as possible, heading for the mountain.\n\n3.1.1.3. You whine softly as you slowly drop to your knees, and then your paws , getting into a good doggy position before lifting your tail and waiting for the first feathery onslaught. You can't imagine it'd be that bad though, they're women after all...\n\nOf course you think wrongly, they're past their breeding stage and have gone into the time were they lay their eggs or, in this case, make others lay their eggs for them.\n\nYou hear the sound of a feathered anthro take off behind you and begin to zip towards you at full pelt. The creature lands on top of you and wastes no time in sheathing it's ovipositor in your sweet ass. You squeal in surprise and pain, the entry not as painful as it could of been because the centaur's cum still drenches your insides. The ovipositor feels incredibly thick and worryingly full as it's forced up your rear, the eggs held within giving the \"cock\" at bumpy texture which makes you squirm gently in pleasure, each one hitting your prostate. The harpy holds the thing deep inside you as it begins to lay it's clutch in you, each one pushing through makes you moan gently and your shaft grow erect.\n\nThe moans of pleasure are quickly stifled though as another one descends from the forest canopy and lands in front of your open mouth, jaw held open as you moan. You're too slow in closing your mouth and now it's being used for a much better purpose, egg disposal. Whining loudly as this new ovipositor is rammed quickly down your throat and held there, it's owner squawking triumphantly as it begins to push eggs down your throat. The one in your rear has just about finished, shaking the last egg free from it's ovipositor it flies away and leaves your now gaping hole for the next parent to be. It doesn't take long for a replacement to fly in and your tailhole is quickly reopened with a new, filled ovipositor. You moan out as the new one is pushed into you and begins to fill you, each egg inevitably pushing against your pleasure gland. You moan loudly around the long pseudo-shaft in your maw as you suddenly shoot your hot load across the floor, squirming as much as the two avians will let you as your body is wracked with orgasmic pleasure.\n\nTwo of the avians in the canopy above suddenly tense up and fly straight for your ass as you climax, blissfully unaware of the creatures until they both bury ovipositors in you. The sudden stretch almost kills the orgasm there and then for you, leaving you squealing again as they both begin to lay their eggs in you. Your tailhole burns red hot with pain as you're filled, to be used as an incubator for the avians' young. You whine louder and louder as the amount of eggs in you begins to become unbearable, bulges appearing all over your belly where the eggs are hidden inside you, shifting ever so slightly with each new addition. The ones pumping into your stomach are obviously no ordinary egg, the acid in your stomach not even scathing the surface of the shells.\n\nAlthough there were many more waiting in the trees, they'd all gone now. There was something sacred about filling a holder before or just after they orgasm. Any later, and it just isn't the same. When the three are done laying in you they leave you too, filled with their eggs and totally immobile from the extra weight. You lay on the floor exhausted, eyes growing heavy from the pain and the fatigue... you slowly slip into a deep sleep.\n\n3.1.2. You hold your hands up in defence and quickly bark out something about not wanting to die or be raped. The centaur quirks a brow at you and tilts its head to one side, as if its expecting something in return for not claiming your dry, unlubed ass. You look around desperately for something offer in exchange for your safety but fail to find anything the centaur may want. It begins to approach you, its face contorted into a fine smirk, equine cock fully hard and bobbing between its leg with each step. It motions its human towards its shaft and looks at you expectantly.\n\nTo swallow your pride and swallow some cock, go to 3.1.2.1\n\nTo swallow your fear and make a break for it through the woods, go to 3.1.2.2\n\n3.1.2.1 You look at the beast with a last pleading look but it's mind has been made up; your muzzle was his and in return he'd leave your ass well enough alone. Gulping gently, you get down on your hands and knees under the horse-man and gently stroke the giant leathery cock that'd make any fur or man shameful of their own endowments. You're rewarded with a gentle, pleasure filled sigh from above and slight buck of those powerful hips. Both your paws find themselves wrapped around the cock, pumping the thick shaft firmly as pre begins to drool from the flared head. You tentatively lower your muzzle to the pre that leaks from the cock and lick it up, murring softly as the sweet taste fills your muzzle. Slipping your head under the centaur's shaft, you gently lick from the very base to the flared head, going incredibly slowly and covering every square inch of the underside of that enormous cock, the creature thrusting once more and giving out a distinctly human moan.\n\nHe's done with this teasing though starts to thrust a little harder, insisting you get your muzzle around it. You feel a finger push against your tailhole and take this is a warning, quickly slipping the entire flared head into your muzzle and starting to suck and lick on the sensitive flesh. You continue to pump the shaft with both paws while slowly fitting more and more of it into your muzzle, sucking and licking on every inch that enters your maw. The creature above moans out loudly, whinnying slightly in pleasure as it begins to thrust at your muzzle, trying to push his head much deeper than you want it to be. It hits the entrance of your throat, making you gag and choke slightly, and then quickly rams it's way in. Your head is nailed into one position as your throat is impaled on the cock, you whining slightly at the sudden stretch, your paws feverishly working the man-horse's shaft, hopign he'll cum before you run out of air.\n\nHis thrusting becomes more and more wild with each passing moment, throat sore from the intrusion and rapid fucking its receiving. The cock throbs and twitches and you can almost see the flesh visibly bulge out as the huge testicles begin to tense up. You close your eyes tightly and prepare for the oncoming rush of seed but nothing could prepare you for the amount, and the speed at which the horse cums. There's a rhythmic fattening and thinning to the massive cock in your throat as it empties into you, not bothering to fill you muzzle, just pumping directly into your stomach and it quickly starts to distend your belly, making it a little bigger than usual. The centaur whinnies triumphantly as it fucks your throat as fast as it can while it cums, making you squeal and whine, muffled around the cock in your muzzle. It pulls out while still cumming and fills your muzzle with centaur seed before coating your back and face in the thick white solution. The lack of air has left you fatigued and you collapse soon after your only support has been removed and begin to fall asleep, swallowing all the cum in your muzzle while some drips from nose. The last thing you see is the blurred outline of a centaur, reaching towards you.\n\n3.1.2.2 And 3.1.3. You hold up your paws like you're about to do some major magic trick, wiggling each digit and then making a runner for it, heading towards the densest trees you can find. You make it a few good yards before tripping up over a tree root and smashing yourself muzzle first into a thick bush of stinging nettles. You jump back with a yelp and get on knees and elbows, batting at your stung nose whilst whining and squealing pitifully. You hear the soft pad of hooves behind you and you know exactly what's about to happen.\n\nYou feel the thick flared head at your entrance and begin to cower when something glinting catches your eye in the stinging nettle bush you just face planted into. Just as the centaur pushes forward you make a grab for it and pull it out, a solid gold torc with a small blood red ruby set into it. Your movement has stopped the centaur from ripping you a new one, but its quickly taking its position again, now proper pissed at you and your wasn't going to get any favours. You quickly roll over and shove the torc up, showing it to the stunned beast. Alas it shoves forwards and buries its cock in your sheath momentarily, making you squeal out in pain, but you can't win all the time. It takes the torc from you and looks it over. Then it gives you a toothy grin and helps you up with one arm. You stumble to your feet and the big bugger swings you onto his back and looks at you expectantly. You point towards the mountain and it sets off immediately, galloping so fast you have to cling to its chest just to stop yourself from being thrown off.\n\n3.2. You walk into the town without any resistance and find yourself amongst lots of medieval style houses and buildings, all nicely burst into flames. The world around you glows amber and red with the fire light as legions of undead soldiers stampede around, stabbing screaming and running civilians.\n\nYou walk around a corner and come to face to face with one which sneers at you and stabs you in the face with a war hammer. Unsurprisingly, you die.\n\nGo back to 3, asshat.\n\nPick a conclusion that mostly fits with how you've done so far.\n\nBest ending, no rapes.\n\nYou arrive at the mountain on centaur back, slightly shaken up and motion sick. You drop off the back of the creature, stiff as freshly starched jeans, as land on the floor with a solid \"whump\" the centaur flashes you a smile and runs off into the woods again, proudly wearing his shiny new neck torc. You slowly stand up and check around for any more traps, creatures, plants with cocks. ANYTHING that might want to claim your body between your current position and the cave entrance. Happy that your privates will remain untouched you wander over to the entrance and hear the same eldritch sound as before. You steel yourself and push through, wondering what's waiting for you on the other side.\n\nSore ass ending. That horse cock was pretty massive.\n\nYou find yourself at the cave entrance, ass still sore from the stretching it received earlier. You rub it gingerly as you approach the cave entrance, the strange eldritch sounds spewing forth make you shudder but you're already in pain. What's the harm in pushing on? You disappear into the darkness as a long vine shoots towards your tailhole, missing you by a fraction of a second, and a group of sexy Amazon warriors stalk out of the trees, hot and horny and looking for a man who can do it right. Too bad you totally missed that one.\n\nClaimed ending. Centaurs are cheeky buggers.\n\nYou wake up directly outside the entrance of the cave you were looking for and \"yay\" gently to yourself, still groggy from sleep. You suddenly sit up straight as you realise your ass is wet and sore like something had... You watch the centaur trotting away, chuckling happily to itself as it's still dripping cock recedes into the thick sheath it would call home if it had sentience.\n\nYou look mildly unimpressed but you guess it's okay because your where you wanted to be and who's complaining about a little colon abuse, hey? Oh yeah, your colon. You get up uncomfortably and shamble to the cave, the eldritch noises taking a back seat to the pain in your ass.\n\nBird brained ending. You got raped with horse cock and filled with eggs and loved it.\n\nYou wake up surrounded by the harpies, tailhole still sparking with pain and rape. You look at your stomach and are pleased to see you weren't awake for most of the birth, a few eggs pushing forth from your tailhole as you finish your \"clutch\". You pant on the floor as the last one pops out and the avians begin to squawk and chirrup happily. One flies down and grabs you by the arms with its talons, dragging you away from the eggs and into the air. You can see the burning town and the whole forest from here, even the centaur who made a mockery of your ass earlier. You idly give him the finger, still a little weak from birthing the eggs for the harpies. You also take note that the avian who was pulling you along has departed and you're heading straight towards the cave entrance, fired off like some kind of bomb. You disappear inside the cave." } ]

She became conscious, but her mind was foggy and groggy and any other type of -oggy. She slipped in and out of a dream, but with every lapse over the line of here and there she forgot what she dreamt of. At last she opened an eye. Her head hurt. Her throat hurt a little too. It tasted like she had a piece of spinach in the back of her tonsils. She remembered flecks of her last dream; she was rushing somewhere but she couldn't think where or why. She looked at the big clock on her bedside table. It was nine-am, Monday morning, and the shape of the day was--Monday!? Lyza threw off her covers, fell out of bed with a tumble, banging her still-sore knee. She groaned, clutching it, but she fought the pain. She burst out of her room, crossing the hall into the bathroom and stubbed her toe on her stool. Again, fighting pain, she gripped her toothbrush and toothpaste, pooted a blob on the bristles and crammed it in her mouth. \"Mornin',\" came a voice from the doorway. She looked to her right to see Kval leaning against the threshold. \"How'd you sleep?\" \"M'la'hm'skla--\" \"That's good. What'd you dream about?\" She spat and leaned over, letting the stream of water pass over her lips. She caught some in her mouth and swished it around, spat it out. \"I don't have time!\" She muttered; \"I'm late!\" She slammed her toothbrush down and ran back into her room, leaving her brother in the hallway. \"You're late? You're late? Got a really important date?\" \"I gotta get dressed,\" she shouted from inside her room. \"No time to say hello? Goodbye? Just late, just late, just late?\" \"You're not helping you doo-doo-head! Don't think about coming in!\" \"I slept good, thanks for asking\" \"Glad to hear it.\" \"What are you late for?\" She growled. \"School you doofus! I overslept!\" \"You have to go to school today?\" He said toward the half-open door. \"Duh it's Mon-day,\" she replied with an inflection. She appeared at the threshold, dressed for the day except for the sour expression on her face. \"Ms. Hupp is gonna be so mad at me...\" \"Why?\" Kval asked dumbly. Her ears fell. \"Cuz I'm late for school!\" She shouted with a stomp of her foot. Her ears snapped back up. \"So are you! What the heck are you doing? Why didn't you wake me up?\" He shrugged. \"Cuz I don't have to go to school today.\" She raised a brow. \"Why? Senior skip day?\" He shrugged again, \"Well, see, in 1963 there was a man who had a dream that, for the most part, has come true today. His presence was so influential that his birthday was deemed a national holiday, which means no school.\" She shook her head, \"Wait wait...today's a holiday?\" He nodded. \"Yup.\" \"Why didn't you tell me earlier?\" She fussed. \"I tried to, but you were all like 'I'm laaaate\\~',\" his voice rose to make fun of his sister's. Her ears swiveled back and she scowled. \"You are such a fart-face!\" She snapped, and slammed the door. Kval flinched. \"Ouch my nose!\" He said, although it didn't actually make any contact. \"Good,\" she muttered, \"I hope you learned a lesson.\" \"Hey, c'mon now...\" He knocked at the door. \"I'm-a sor-reh, don't be mad...\" \"Go away!\" He tilted his mouth. Maybe he was a little bit too mean this morning. \"Okay,\" he said, a serious tone on his tongue, \"Maybe if you're not mad at me later I can take you out to get some breakfast or something?\" He waited a minute for a response and, when he didn't get one, sighed, tapped the floor with his toe a couple times, and went back into his room.\n\nFifteen minutes later, back in her pajamas and back in bed, Lyza rolled over unable to fall back asleep. She stared at the light reflecting off of her pink nose, sniffed in a bit of the sunshine and sneezed. \"Bless you,\" her brother's muffled shout came from through the wall. She sat up, getting used to the cold air akin to the way one gets used to cold pool-water at the turn of summer. She shoved her hands beneath her rear to keep them from freezing entirely. The house snapped and popped as it often did. She assumed the house was popping its joints just like hers sometimes did in the cold. Her throat was still sore. She hoped she wasn't going to get sick. She hated sore-throats most of all because it wasn't something you could stay home from school for and it was much more annoying than a headache. And the only thing that made it feel better was either grape-yuk or numb-yuk. She didn't like either, especially the numb-yuk. It always got on her tongue and then she couldn't speak right for a little while. Well...she spoke worse than she normally did, anyway. Adjusted to the cold she slipped her right foot out of the covers. Her feet felt sweaty in their socks, as they often did in the morning. She would have to change them; and so she slipped them off and let them drop to the floor. Again she was relieved that wood did not get as cold as tile. With a new pair of orange socks, she made her way back into the bathroom. Their floor was not usually very cold, but the toilet seat... Running her hands under warm water, she followed the routine of looking at her mark. She brushed her hair a little to get a few knots out, and then left the room to darkness. She paused in the hallway for a few moments, listening. Her brother's room was awfully quiet. Sometimes he played music when their parents weren't home, but maybe he wasn't now because he thought she was sleeping. Still...without the music it felt uneasily quiet. She stepped up to her brother's door, her footfalls muffled by orange-colored cotton. She pressed her ear against the light-colored wood. She half-expected her brother to be on the other side of the door right now, and in just a second he would start banging on it to scare her. He seemed to be in that kind of mood today, the fart-head. But as time passed by, nothing happened to her, and in fact she did hear something on the other side of the door. It was very soft, very feint, but she knew it was the sound of a page turning. She knocked. \"Who could that be?\" He asked, as if to himself. \"It's me,\" Lyza said with a croak, and then cleared her throat to say it again a little more clearly. \"Hello me, you can come in.\" Lyza opened the door just a little, enough to let her head in. Kval smiled at her, lying on his bed. A book sprouted from his torso. After there wasn't a word for a moment he finally said, \"Wassup?\" \"Nothing,\" she said softly, anxious of disturbing the room, \"You were just really quiet in here.\" \"I was being quiet so you could go back to sleep,\" he replied. Her ears bobbed. \"I don't think I can...I got so excited earlier...\" He sighed. \"Shoulda left a note,\" he muttered, closing the book and setting it on his chest. \"Left what note?\" He crossed his feet and patted the bed beside him. \"I didn't remember it was a holiday till last night after you went to bed,\" he explained as she came and sat on the bed beside him. \"I snuck into your room and turned your alarm off so you could sleep in. I should've left a note rather than being a fart-head.\" She slapped his arm gently. \"You weren't being a fart-head you were being nice,\" she grumbled guiltily. He rolled his eyes, \"Yeah, well...\" \"I'm sorry for yelling this morning. And for hurting your nose,\" she apologized, looking at it to make sure it wasn't broken or sore. Her brother only chuckled. She looked at the book beside her. \"Whatchya readin'?\" Silently he flipped the book over, as it was set down with the synopsis showing. Lyza saw a weird picture of a mouth with really bad teeth and flames. \"What's 'A Clockwork Orange'?\" She asked, reading the title. \"Aside from it being a book,\" he replied, \"Not really sure. Just a weird title.\" \"It looks scary,\" she said with a shiver. \"It kind of is,\" he concurred. \"Why're you reading it if it's scary?\" He smiled, \"My psychology teacher said I'd like it. And I do.\" \"Is it a psychology book?\" \"Kind of,\" he replied, \"It's a story that has some psycho-la-fo-lo-gic-aff-ab-al stuff in it,\" he replied, botching the word with quick syllables. Lyza squinted. \"Are you making fun of me?\" He shook his head, \"No, I'm not. Honest.\" She tilted her head, examining the creepy cover again. \"Whassit about?\" Kval smiled, but it sort of fell and came back after a few seconds. \"Well uh...it's about this kid. He's a pretty bad kid. He does lots of bad stuff and then he gets in trouble for it. These people take him and put him in a chair and make him look at bad things while listening to this music that he really-really likes. Then, when he's back home, he tries to listen to the music but he can't because it makes him feel terrible.\" Lyza shuddered. \"That sounds horrible. Why would you want to read something like that?\" Kval bit his lip. \"Well...um...psychology?\" \"What kind of bad things does the kid do?\" His sister asked. He bit his lip a little harder. \"Listen, maybe we should get some breakfast.\" He tossed the book aside and sat up. \"I was thinking maybe IHOP; you can get one of those smiley-face pancakes with chocolate and--\" He noticed the expression on her face. It was indigo. \"I'd rather just stay here,\" she said, straightening her left sock. The brother watched his sister's behavior. \"Are you sure? It'll be fun, and afterwords we can go anywhere you want.\" She shook her head. \"No...my--my knee still hurts a little. I think I just wanna be kinda lazy today.\" He tenderly rubbed her right leg, \"You need something to kill the pain?\" Why you wanna kill Spain? \"Nah...\" Lyza said airily, her eyes darting away. \"You sure? I think we've got some Tylenol for you. If we don't I can always run and--\" \"I don't want anything!\" She snapped. Kval blinked several times, his mouth hinged open to show his incisors. Slowly the tension slacked and he sighed. \"Guess...I can't do anything for you then,\" he said against the lump in his throat. His sister snuggled against him, hugging his arm and holding his hand which he had balled into a fish. She began to uncurl the fist one finger at a time, starting with the pinkie. When it was fully released he sighed, glancing over at her. She was looking at him from an odd angle, and her eyes darted away for a second before returning. She blinked a couple times, refreshing the glaze over the caramel, and quietly spoke against his bicep. \"Can you make smiley-face pancakes?\" At first he didn't move or anything, almost like he was in a trance and didn't hear her, but then suddenly his ears shifted weight. He looked further up at the ceiling, thinking for a moment, and then cupped her hand in his. \"If we've got mix, chocolate syrup, whipped cream and cherries...yeah, I think I can.\" He smiled. \"And if we don't I'll go get it.\" She giggled and hugged him, \"We don't need all that--\" He scooped her into his arms as he sat up, carrying her to the kitchen; \"Yes we do. If my little sister wants smiley-face pancakes, my little sister gets smiley-face pancakes.\"" } ]

The stairs had been a nightmare, and he was grateful the corridor was empty this late at night, because his gait caused him to lurch from side to side. The weight in the bulging bag was straining his arms, and if anyone were to give him more than a cursory look, they would see the shirt rucked up as the enormous cock and balls fed into the bag, and from behind, his trousers were at half mast.\n\nKurt fell to his knees in front of one door, and gasped in pain and exhaustion. The ram was athletic and well muscled, but the pain from his squashed balls coupled with the shock of the magic was too much for him. He needed help, and this was the only place he could think of. He gathered himself, and knocked on the door.\n\nThe door opened a crack, and a eye looked out. \"What? What do you want?\"\n\n\"Brian,\" Kurt whispered, \"I need your help. Please, man!\"\n\n\"My help? MY help? What does the all-powerful Kurt the perfect need MY help with?\"\n\n\"PLEASE! I'm sorry I said you were a freak, and trashed your bike!\"\n\n\"That was YOU?!\"\n\n\"Oh, shit.\"\n\n\"Why the hades would I help you?\"\n\n\"Because I'll get the guys to lay off you! I'll let you use my truck? No, I'll GIVE you my truck!\"\n\n\"Huh, you're really that desperate?\"\n\n\"I-I need help- and I know you will. Because you're a better person that I am.\"\n\nBrian closed his eyes. \"Flatterer.\"\n\nHe opened the door all the way and Kurt barged in. The room was dark and dingy, lit by a low powered bulb and the wall covered with posters, mostly black. Brian himself was also dressed in a black shirt and jeans, and the bunny's black hair was plastered flat over one eye.\n\n\"So what- what's in the bag?\"\n\nKurt winced, and screwed up his muzzle. \"It's- you do all that magic stuff, right?\"\n\nBrian sighed, and rubbed his forehead. \"Wicca is not about magic,\" he said, starting a well practiced, overused speech. \"Wicca is non-hierarchical belief system that worships nature rather than a personality, and just because we don't kneel down before a cross doesn't make us devil worshipers. We don't do magic, and no-one in our coven dances around naked, except Kevin, and he'd do it anyway.\"\n\nKurt looked confused. \"But-magic-\"\n\n\"There is no such thing as magic!\" Brian crossed his arms.\n\nKurt unzipped the bag. Free from its captivity, his cock flew out, and his balls landed with a slap on the floor. It had to be four feet long, and thick with it: a strange, almost hourglass shape, and the head of it seemed to taper more like a muzzle than any normal glans. His balls were grossly swollen, and more than a foot wide in the distended of his scrotum. He sighed with relief, the pain of the compression finally over. \"HOLY SHIT!\" yelled Brian, and leaped up on his chair.\n\n\"I did this with magic,\" Kurt told him.\n\n\"Well, I stand corrected,\" Brian replied from his perch. \"And you stand bow-legged.\"\n\n\"You don't know anything about magic at all?\" Kurt looked desperate.\n\n\"No- I mean, that's just plain impossible, no-one can do that- what happened?\"\n\nKurt lent against the wall. \"We were just messing around! Carol thought this would be fun, so, she... she did this spell from the book, and then, she, she turned into this.\"\n\nHe gestured at his groin. Brian gaped at him, boggling at the claim. \"No. That's not possible.\"\n\nKurt clenched his fist. \"You don't know any fucking magic?\"\n\n\"No! This... breaks all the rules of the universe as we know it!\"\n\nKurt screwed up his face, tears beginning to prickle behind his eyes. \"You can't do anything?\"\n\n\"Now I didn't say that. Let's start with basic logic.\" Brian cupped his lower jaw with his hand. \"There was a book, you say? Stands to reason, if the spell to do this is in there, there might be a counter spell in it too. Did you bring it?\"\n\n\"Um. No.\"\n\n\"Didn't you think it'd be handy?\"\n\n\"I was a bit pre-occupied!\"\n\n\"Okay, okay, fine. Give me your key and I'll go and get it.\"\n\nBrian held out his hand, and Kurt had to fiddle in his trouser pockets that had fallen round his ankles.\n\n\"Okay. Stay here, don't open the door, and don't get into trouble.\"\n\nBrian shut the door as he left. Kurt sighed, and dragged his massive tackle to the bed, where he could rest with his balls on the floor. His cock was still wet with cum, and slipped in his hands as he heaved it up level with his face. \"Don't worry, Carol. We'll get you back.\" His face crumpled, and he hugged with penis tighter. \"I'll get you back, I promise.\"\n\nThere was a sharp rap on the door. \"Brian?\" called a voice in clipped tones.\n\nKurt sat up, shocked. His penis slipped out of his hands and landed on the floor with a thump that made him wince.\n\n\"...Brian? Is somebody in there?\"\n\n\"NO!\" yelled Kurt, and then promptly slapped his head.\n\n\"You're not very convincing.\"\n\nKurt sighed. \"Sorry, sorry, but- Brian's busy. Helping me. Don't come in!\"\n\n\"Well, I need to see him. Brian?\"\n\nKurt looked around him, and spotted an excuse. \"He's in the loo!\"\n\n\"Well, I'm coming it to wait for him.\" The door handle began to turn.\n\nThe sports bag Kurt had hidden his genitals in was lying by the door.\n\nSarah stepped in. The grey cat was carrying a bundle of folders under one arm, and she glared sternly over the top of her glasses at Kurt. He grinned back, nervously.\n\n\"What are YOU doing here, of all people?\" she asked. \"And why are you hugging that bean bag?\"\n\n\"No reason.\"\n\nShe put the folders on Brian's desk, and perched on the edge. She was slightly overweight, and wearing a thick jumper and loose jeans that hid her curves. Men like Kurt would never normally give her a second look, and she couldn't help but wonder why he was even trying to be nice to her. \"So what are* you doing here?\"\n\nA bead of sweat rolled down Kurt's forehead. \"Brian's helping me with my coursework.\"\n\n\"And I suppose he's just getting a book or something?\"\n\n\"Uh-\"\n\n\"And he's not in the toilet, with the door half open, and no light on,\" she said, pointing to the unoccupied en-suite.\n\n\"Oh shit.\"\n\nShe stood and strode across the room, getting up in his face. \"What have you done with him?\"\n\nKurt lent back, clutching the bean bag. Seeing his grip, Sarah narrowed her eyes and laid a hand on the bag. Kurt tried to scrabble back, but couldn't move without loosing his grip. A tug of war ensued, Kurt desperately trying to conceal his modesty until Sarah dug her claws in and ripped the bag out of his hands. Sarah fell back onto her rear. Reflexively, she spread her legs to get out of the way of the- penis, she realised.\n\nThere was a stunned moment, as she stared at the head of it. She had never seen anything so... big.\n\n\"This is going to sound really weird, but that's my girlfriend.\"\n\nSarah looked up at him, boggling. She couldn't even begin to understand what was happening. The size of that thing blew her mind. Slowly, she reached out with one hand, and it was at that point Brian came back in.\n\n\"I got the book, and this is some pretty weird shit- oh for god's sake,\" he said as he saw the two of them. \"All I ask you to do is stay out of trouble, and I come back and find this.\"\n\nSarah turned to Brian, her eyes wide. She pointed and whispered, \"He's got a giant cock!\"\n\n\"I think we all know that now. You might as well help me with this. You-\" He pointed at Kurt- \"stay there, don't touch anything, and try to stay out of any more trouble.\"\n\nAbashed, Kurt pulled himself back onto the bed, while the the cat and the rabbit turned to examine the book.\n\nAfter a few minutes, Brian sat back, rubbing his eyes. \"It's no use, I can't understand a word of this. It's like it moves when you look at it.\"\n\n\"Hmm?\" Sarah looked up from her study. \"It's not like there's words... just meaning, intent.\"\n\nIn her slate grey eyes, gold flecks gleams for second before fading. \"It's not a language, it's a contextual symbolic formation. There's emotion, but it's... different.\"\n\nShe turned back to the book.\n\nBrian glanced at Kurt, and shrugged. \"O...kay, but can you use it? Can you turn an enormous penis into a girl?\"\n\n\"That's not how it works. It works because you know it works, there's no logic behind it, just the story...\"\n\n\"O-kay, can we know it will be done?\" Brian brushed the hair out of his eye. \"If that even makes sense.\"\n\nSarah stood and approached Kurt. \"The whole purpose of the spell, you see, is for sex. This spell... you couldn't do it for any other reason, could you? So that's what you have to do. Have sex.\"\n\nBrian and Kurt stared at her. \"Unless you happen to have an elephant with gigantism who enjoys being stretched hidden under your jumper, that's not really helpful, you know,\" Brian snarked.\n\nA dreamy smile came over her face. \"There is something that I can do. The book, there's a way I can make myself...stretchy...\"\n\n\"Woah, woah, woah.\" Brian grabbed her arms and spoke sternly. \"Messing with magic has turned one girl into a super sized shlong already tonight, I don't want you becoming into a rubber doll, too.\"\n\nSarah brushed him off. \"It's not a risk. I know what I'm doing.\"\n\n\"Brian's right. It's not worth the risk. I can't ask you to do this. And besides...\" Kurt sighed, and put his head in his hand. \"I don't think I could have sex with another woman.\"\n\nThe cat sat down, and rubbed his back. \"It's not like you'd be cheating, though. You're doing this for her. And she's right here.\"\n\nHer other hand slipped into his lap, and began to stroke the smooth pink skin at the base of his former girlfriend.\n\n\"I can't-\"\n\n\"I want it,\" she interrupted. \"Ever since I saw it, I wanted to get it inside me. I never knew I'd want something so incredible, so impossible, but I do, and if it can help...\"\n\nHer breath came fast and heavy. Kurt stared into her eyes, the lust and need evident in them. He sighed, and turned away. \"What do you need to do?\" he asked.\n\n\"You just get yourself ready,\" Sarah said, leaping to her feet and backing into Brian's en-suite bathroom. \"I'll prepare myself properly for you.\"\n\nBrian and Kurt shared glances as she shut the door. \"Do you think this will work?\" the ram asked.\n\n\"Maybe. I don't know. But I've never seen her like this... I thought she was totally asexual, you know? She's never shown any interest in anyone before.\"\n\n\"Oh. Well, it's not like you can find you're attracted to that kind of normally, can you-\" Realisation hit Kurt. \"Oh... did you want her to show interest in you?\"\n\nBrian laughed, a little bitterly. \"Not as if it makes much difference, is it? We're friends, and she's only interested in women who've been transmogrified into enormous phalluses.\"\n\n\"I'm sorry, man.\"\n\n\"Yeah, well.\"\n\nKurt turned away from Brian, and ran his hand down his cock. Every inch of it felt the same as his normal cock, but the sheer size of this new appendage meant the sensation was magnified to an overwhelming degree. His hands were heavy on the shaft, where girlfriend's torso had once curved to her waist, and the feel of his touch sent a warm satisfaction throughout his body.\n\n\"What the hell are you doing?\" Brian asked, looking slightly aghast at Kurt's actions.\n\n\"I'm trying to get hard, what does it look like?\" Kurt snapped, distracted from his task. \"I should be ready...\"\n\n\"Do you have to do that here?\"\n\n\"You want us to parade through the halls like this?\"\n\nBrian brushed his hair back over one eye. \"Fine. But you're cleaning up if there's any mess.\"\n\nKurt went back to stroking himself. The flesh of Carol's face had smoothed out, and become loose, her mouth and lips widening, enabling him to pull the whole thing back over the head of his penis, which tingled gently in the open air. With one finger, he carefully reached out and touched the skin, slick with natural lubricant. As he dragged his finger over it, the electric shock made him gasp, and his lover gasped with him, urethra flexing open and the scent of pre-cum filling the air.\n\nIt was then that Sarah chose to make her entrance, knocking the door to one side. She stood in the doorway with her hips swayed, one hand reaching up along the door frame, in imitation of a thousand sexy poses. Her lower lip, bitten between her sharp little teeth, betrayed her fears, but her eyes were filled with desire. Naked, her body was slightly overweight, with every curve she had full and rounded. Large breasts hung over her bulging stomach, which in turn hung over the folds between her legs. She had painted her short grey fur with some clear liquid, the lines of darker, matted fur running around her body, emphasising her size, the magic to expand her wrapping her body in fluid bonds.\n\n\"Are you ready?\" she asked.\n\nKurt gulped.\n\n\"Wait,\" Brian said, standing between the two of them. \"We need to make sure this is going to work, and not tear you apart.\"\n\nSarah laughed. \"It's fine! Look!\"\n\nShe reached between her legs with both hands, and grasped her lower lips. She pulled at them, and at the same time pushed her legs apart. Her hips spread, widening her stance, as her vagina split open, further and further, a hot dark tunnel to the core of her being. She glanced up at Brian, and said, \"Touch it.\"\n\n\"What, really?\"\n\n\"You wanted me to prove it worked.\"\n\nNervously, Brian reached out with his thin hands. His fingers passed the boundary of her labia, a few inches from touching on either side. When his hand was in up to the wrist, the tips of his fingers brushed the tapering flesh of her vagina. Deep within her depths, the feeling made her jump from the shock. Her hands slipped, and her walls slapped shut around his hand. \"Ah!\"\n\nBoth Sarah and Brian gasped. Pulses of pleasure wracked her body, a wonderful sensation of fullness that took her breath away. Brian, meanwhile, was panicking. \"Oh god! I'll pull it out-\"\n\n\"No!\" Sarah gasped. \"Deeper! I need it deeper in me!\"\n\n\"You're serious?\"\n\nShe nodded, her breaths coming in short spurts. Brian rolled up the sleeve of his shirt, and set a determined look on his face. He pushed further and further within the girl, who began to write around the impalement. Starbursts of pleasure erupted from her groin, impossible, unknowable pleasure coursing through her.\n\nUp to his elbow in vagina, the rabbit flexed his arm. Slowly, the flesh and fat of her stomach began to move aside, a lump appearing that gained definition as fingers rippled beneath her skin. His hand stuck out from her belly obscenely, impossibly. Trembling, she reached down and gently touched it, entwining her fingers with his, covered with her soft, sleek fur.\n\nBrian let go, as slid his hand out of her, slick with secretions. \"This is crazy,\" he muttered.\n\n\"But it'll work.\"\n\nShe stepped round Brian, to where Kurt perched on the edge of the bed. His enormous manhood was semi-turgid, not standing to attention, but full enough to show the full size of Carol's transformed torso. The cat knelt before the mighty organ, and took his foreskin into her hands. Running her hands beneath it, she teased at the vast expanse of sensitive flesh beneath, and Kurt shivered at the feeling.\n\nKurt watched as she began to kiss the tapered head of his cock, that should have been Carol's Her tongue reached inside the whole, and licked him in a way he'd never been touched before. Slowly, she pushed herself forward, her lips parting as they stretched around his red head. Her jaw dislocated, allowing her to fit more of him in her mouth, more nerves stimulated and Kurt's blood began to pulse and pound.\n\nThe fullness of glans in her mouth ballooned her cheeks out like a hamster, but Sarah didn't car one bit. The feel of her skin taught around the invader was so hot she was on the verge of cumming, even if she weren't touched herself. And as the thick, salty taste of pre-cum overwhelmed her senses, the blood flow to the penis increased, forcing it from her mouth until with a wet sounding 'SHLROP!' it flew from her maw and stood massive and proud. \"Lie back,\" she said.\n\nShe pushed Kurt on to his back, and stood on the bed, next to his towering erection. Maybe four feet from Kurt's groin to the gently rounded head and dripping with pre-cum and saliva, the organ was too high for Sarah to simply lower herself onto: holding it with both hands, she jumped up, and sat on the thing. Kurt moaned a her weight came down and her legs dangled, supported between her legs. She began to slip, guiding the tip of the penis with her hands to her gasping cunt. With agonizing slowness, she opened before the colossal organ, her legs moving further apart, hips widening, and belly swelling until finally her feet touched the bedspread.\n\nKurt gasped, trying not to move out of fear he would hurt her. He could feel her incredible warmth surrounding him, tight pressure all over the head of his cock. She had paused to get her breath back, her eyes closed, her hands rubbing the obscene bulge in her stomach. \"Are you alright?\" he asked.\n\nShe nodded, and began to bend her knees, letting her weight carry her down the length of the shaft. The bulge traveled easier now that the width of it was in her, the meat and organs moving easily to one side. Her body rippled as her ribs spread, pressure on her lungs making her gasps for air shorter and shallower as they were crushed by the massive presence within her. As her body distorted, her skin and soft grey fur stretched further, tightening over her whole body like it had never been before. Her loose, flabby stomach became rounded and taught, and her breasts seemed to shrink as they were pulled tighter and higher.\n\nFinally she stopped, the head of Kurt's penis resting jut beneath her throat. \"Kurt,\" she said, each breath too small to contain more than a word. \"Turn. Over. Fuck. Me.\"\n\nKurt could barely move. Sarah was so tight around him, every movement made him twitch. Slowly, he shifted, rolling around so that his colossal balls hung off the edge. Sarah lay on her back, but she was supported less by the bed and more by the hard cock within her, curving her upwards so that her head was off the bed. Her eye were open, but glazed, her breath coming in ragged gasps.\n\nThe ram took hold of the cat's legs and slowly began to pull himself out of her. Her chest cavity began to collapse back to its normal shape, and the extra air that gave her let her start to purr. She was unable to do anything but lay back and be impaled; her body so warped she could barely move. As she distorted and spread over the pole, her sensitivity had only increased, an she was so overwhelmed by the sensation her mind was pierced and spread by pleasure as her body was.\n\nKurt, meanwhile, was experiencing problems of his own. He could flex no more than a foot, unable to get far away without loosing his grip on the girl's wide hips, and each thrust came slowly with almost agonizing pleasure, the electric shocks that almost stopped him moving. He wanted to fuck her quickly, but his body betrayed him, forcing him to take his time, to enjoy every second.\n\nNevertheless, his slow thrusting was getting results. A slow build in his balls was beginning, an unstoppable growth that spread upwards, all the way to the tip of his penis buried so deep within her. It was almost painful. He pushed further, as hard as he could, and let the muscular pulses take over. The thrust didn't move his penis within her, but shook the girl, back and forth. She opened her eyes, and let out a scream of pleasure, that was cut to a gurgling moan as a spurt of cum shot from her mouth. Her body began to swell further as it filled with cum, more dribbling from her mouth, and Kurt tried to pull back.\n\nHe seemed stuck for a second, but then he suddenly slipped free, with the sensation of something moving out of him. And as he sprawled on the floor, he realised: he had his old cock back! And that meant... Two extra legs protruded from between Sarah's, writhing and kicking. Kurt lept to his feet, and hauled on them pulling Carol from Sarah's insides in a vile mockery of birth. She was covered in semen, which spurted out of the cat as her abused body shrank back to its old size.\n\nKurt wiped cum from his wolfess girlfriend's face, as she coughed and spluttered, her mouth still as filled with spunk as it was as a urethra. She took a few gasping breaths, and then looked up at Kurt. \"Oh god...all I was, was pleasure... I couldn't do anything but feel it... and when you came... I was an orgasm. Thank you. Thank you.\"\n\nKurt stroked her slick, dripping hair. \"Sh, sh. You're back now. Every thing's alright.\"\n\nCarol looked up. \"Can we do it again?\"\n\n\"WHAT?\"\n\nSarah sat up, wiping the cum from her mouth. \"Oh, wow, a second round already?\"\n\nCarol looked at her, eyes wide in surprise. \"What? What's she doing here?\"\n\nBrian laid a hand on her shoulder. \"Easy now-\"\n\nCarol screamed, twisted, and promptly fell off the bed." } ]

The panther looked almost stressed out, today being Sasha's graduation from basic. It was funny to Jake, somewhat. She was Jake's daughter, but he wasn't that stressed at all. Chris, her uncle through marriage, looked as if he was seeing his daughter graduate today. It was still a few minutes early to be leaving, but Chris was obviously ready to go. In the twelve years since Jeremy's death, Chris grew much closer to Jake and Sasha - to Sasha especially. She was actually the one that convinced him to remarry six years ago. Jake laughed in his head when he thought about all that happened with Chris. At first, the panther went through a long time of mourning for Jeremy. After he had begun to be able to live with it, he and Jake's old friend Jerry started to hit it off pretty well. Once Jerry broached the subject of dating seriously, Chris shied away, thinking that somehow that would mean he didn't care for Jeremy anymore. Despite Jake and Jerry talking to him about it, it ended up taking Sasha - a twelve year old at the time - to convince him that he could love them both. Once he caved in, though, he fell hard for Jerry. They were just about as in love as Chris and Jeremy were before. As much as the events weren't funny at the time of occurrence, it ended up being a kind of inside joke between the four to irritate Chris. The panther was quite easy to embarrass after all.\n\n\"Is Jerry ready yet?\" Jake asked.\n\n\"He's taking goddamn forever.\" Chris mumbled, irritated, before raising his voice so the bull in the other room could hear him. \"Hon? You ready yet?\"\n\n\"Damn it, Chris, we're still early!\" the low-pitched voice of the bull answered from the bedroom. \"The ceremony won't start any sooner if we get there early. You can get dressed faster now without having to wear a uniform anymore.\"\n\n\"Hah! Don't try that one on me, Jake's already ready and waiting. He's got a uniform, too.\"\n\nJake chuckled and shook his head at the bantering between the two. After Chris retired two years ago, he seemed to take on a more jovial demeanor. He laughed more, told more jokes, smiled more, and most of the time, bantered playfully with his new mate.\n\n\"Alright, alright. I'm coming.\" Jerry emerged from the hallway in his dress uniform, and walked to the panther, putting his arms around him. Jerry was actually of a size with Chris, unlike Jeremy, who was very noticeably smaller. \"You're way too excited about this.\" Jerry seized the panther's lips with a kiss before Chris could retort.\n\n\"Pfft. I'm just the right amount of excited. You two are too nonchalant.\" Chris said after the kiss, shifting his gaze between Jake and the bull.\n\n\"So are you two ready? Or am I going to have to watch you make out for an hour?\" Jake chuckled at the two.\n\n\"Hmm,\" Jerry replied, \"I could stand to make out for a bit.\"\n\n\"We're ready.\" Chris interjected, smiling at the bull. \"Making out can wait until after Sasha graduates.\"\n\nJake laughed, \"Alright well who's driving?\"\n\n\"I'll drive.\" Chris broke his embrace with the bull to go grab his keys hanging on the post next to the door. \"My car is parked behind yours anyway.\"\n\nJake picked the back seat when they got to the car, letting Chris and Jerry sit together. During the drive to the base, Jake saw that they were holding hands the whole time. He was glad that Chris found another mate. He was the kind of guy that seemed to need support from people he loved, and with Jeremy gone, Jake could only do so much. Jerry was a great guy too, and had already been a close friend to Jake. After the incident, Chris had moved in the guest room at Jake's house, and when the two got together, Jerry joined his new mate. Jake had expected Chris to move out and live with Jerry alone, like he did with Jeremy, but the panther wanted to stay close to Jake and Sasha. The fact that Jake already knew Jerry very well helped with them all living together. Jake sometimes wished he had found love again, but raising Sasha was a full time job, even with Chris and Jerry around to help. Now he always thought he was too old to start dating again, against the protests of Chris and Jerry. They had gotten together when Chris was the same age as Jake was now. When they pulled into the parking lot next to the parade deck, they were greeted by a young corporal acting as an usher. The fox saluted Jake and Jerry, who returned the salute.\n\n\"Good morning gentlemen. Are you friends or family?\" the young fox asked.\n\n\"Family.\" Jake responded, \"We should have some seats reserved, actually. Names are Jake Kearny, Chris Brightman, and Jerry Haldman.\"\n\nThe fox flipped through the papers on his clipboard to try to find the names. \"Ah, here you are, gentlemen. I will show you to your seats.\"\n\nThe three followed the fox to their seats, in the center of the review stand. They took their seats, Chris looking even more nervous and excited to see Sasha again than he did at the house. Jake would have been lying if he said he wasn't excited as well, but it seemed that Chris was taking it a little bit far. Jerry looked like he would have agreed with Jake.\n\n\"Honey, calm down.\" Jerry chuckled. \"At this rate, you're going to have a heart attack when they march out.\" Jake laughed when the bull said that.\n\nJake watched with pride when they marched the new soldiers out, looking in the sea of faces for his daughter. Once he saw her, he smiled. She had already found them and was looking right in their direction. Jake heard Chris gasp slightly and grab on to Jerry's hand. He must have just found her as well. Jake was overwhelmed with pride. His daughter had grown and chose to follow in her parents' footsteps. As much as Jake wanted her to go through to be an officer, he was proud nonetheless. She went in with an open contract, and he couldn't wait to hear what occupation she was assigned. He was starting to get nervous wondering what she got. Jake thought that maybe that's what was making Chris so nervous. He must have looked like Chris as he anxiously awaited the end of the ceremony. When the platoons were dismissed, Jake and Chris both jumped up and raced to Sasha, leaving Jerry behind laughing to himself and following a bit more slowly. Jerry cared for Sasha a lot, but was the least excitable of the bunch. When they got close to her, she stopped dead in her tracks. She raised her hand in a salute, smiling.\n\n\"Good morning gentlemen.\" She recited the proper greeting. Jake had almost wished he hadn't worn his uniform so he could bypass these formalities. He saluted back quickly, and before her arm went completely down, he grabbed her in a tight hug.\n\n\"I missed you, Sasha.\" He said as she returned the hug.\n\n\"We all did.\" Chris corrected, as Jake released his daughter only to have her pulled into another hug by the panther.\n\n\"I missed you too. Where's Uncle Jerry?\"\n\n\"Behind you.\" Jerry said, making Sasha whirl to give him a hug as well. \"How'd you like basic?\"\n\n\"It sucked, of course.\" She laughed. \"But I made it through just fine.\"\n\n\"Well we knew you would.\" Jake said smiling. \"How about we get out of here and get some lunch?\"\n\n\"Can we go visit Mom first?\"\n\nJake smiled, \"Of course, hon. I know she's just as proud of you as we are.\" They had always gone to the grave site about once a month since Callie and Jeremy died. Sasha had been in basic for over three months, and Jake was actually very glad that she wanted to go visit the graves. Even with losing her mother at six, she never stopped thinking about her.\n\nThey grabbed her gear from the room it was staged in and packed it in the car. They all got in, Jake and Sasha sitting in the back seat. She seemed filled with self pride. She had wanted to join the military since she was young, and she finally achieved her dream.\n\n\"So,\" Jake said as they drove to the grave site a few miles up the road, \"what occupation did they give you?\"\n\nSasha's smile faded and she bit her lip. \"Well, I kinda wanted to tell you later. Um, I got assigned infantry.\"\n\nJake's face darkened. Jerry turned around, facing Sasha, eyes wide. Chris grabbed Jerry's leg. The mood in the car changed drastically. Jake's fears of the open contract came true.\n\n\"Infantry?\"\n\n\"You knew it could happen, Dad. It's what they need me to do. Uncle Jerry's infantry and he's fine.\"\n\n\"And you see how much your Uncle Chris worries about him when he's gone.\"\n\n\"He worries when you're gone, too, Dad. I'll be able to handle myself. I can do it.\"\n\nJake gave up. As much as he wanted to, there was nothing he could do to change what she was assigned. They were hoping for her to get into intelligence, like her mother, but there were a large number of possibilities for them to assign her to.\n\n\"We're here.\" Chris said as they pulled over on the road nearest the two graves, effectively ending the conversation. They got out of the car, Jake and Sasha starting to walk toward the graves.\n\n\"You going to see Jeremy?\" Jerry asked Chris when they were out.\n\n\"Yeah.\" Chris said with a somber face. The pain of losing his first lover was still there, even after so long.\n\n\"I'll wait here for you; let you have some time alone.\" Jerry walked to Chris and gave him a light kiss. \"I love you.\"\n\n\"I love you too, Jerry. Thanks.\"\n\nJake and Sasha walked up to Callie's marker. There was no body buried under it. His wife's body was left at the rebel base during the rescue twelve years earlier. He wished Jerry hadn't pulled him off of her so soon. He wished he could have buried his wife. It wasn't Jerry's fault, though; he didn't know that she was his wife. He couldn't have known. He kneeled closer to the marker and brushed away the dead leaves that covered it.\n\n\"Hey hon. Sasha finally made it. She graduated basic. I wish you could have seen this, you'd have been so proud. Our daughter's all grown up now.\" Sasha put a hand on her father's shoulder. They both felt the loss, even if she didn't remember her mother much. Such things kept fresh in the mind.\n\n\"She is proud, Dad. I know she's watching us. I can feel it sometimes, like a guardian angel.\" She looked at the marker, seemingly studying the words she'd seen so many times before. \"I wanted to thank you, Mom. I know you've been watching over me since you died. I know it was you that helped me through basic when I thought I wasn't going to be able to do it sometimes. I know you're proud of me, and I know you love me. I feel all the words that you can't say to me. Pretty soon I won't be able to visit you more often, but I'll keep you in my heart, and ask that you continue to watch over me. I may need it soon.\"\n\nSasha reached up to take her cover off. She pulled an extra Federation insignia out of her pocket. She took the one off her cover, the one that had been given to her by the Drill Sergeants signifying her graduation. She replaced it with the new one, and put the bestowed insignia on top of the marker.\n\n\"Thank you.\" She said again before they both headed back to the car.\n\nChris lingered at Jeremy's grave next to them, watching Sasha place her insignia on the stone. He waited until they left before shifting his attentions to his lover's gravestone.\n\n\"I miss you, Jeremy. After twelve years, I still miss you. You'll be happy to know that Jake's been doing a good job watching me. Jerry's done his fair share as well, heh. I've slowly been getting better since you died. It still hurts a lot, but Jerry helps with that pain as well. I wanted to thank you for sending him again. I know that was you - no one else knew what a mate did for me. I've said it a thousand times here, and I'll say it a thousand more. I still love you, Jeremy. Like I said, I always will. I can't join you right now, but I will. One day, I will see you again.\"\n\nChris leaned down and kissed Jeremy's headstone, his eyes watering some. He had thanked Jeremy for bringing Jerry into his live ever since he met the bull. He knew that was Jeremy's work. Jeremy had been the rock to hold him up, and once he was gone, he sent in another rock for him. To Chris, Jerry wasn't better or worse than Jeremy, just different. He loved them both equally. Jerry's love helped him out of the depression that Jeremy's death caused. He was a perfect choice for Jeremy to send, and he was happy with the bull. Chris stared at the headstone a minute more before heading to the car.\n\n\\* \\* \\* \\\n\nSasha was escorted through the base at Cyrenia by a young Corporal. After the tearful goodbyes to her family, everything had gone by so fast it seemed a blur in her mind. She had been escorted throughout the base to go through the various check-in procedures. She had just checked into the armory to get issued a blaster and combat gear. She was headed to her last stop - checking into her new platoon. She was nervous. She had no clue what to expect when she got there. The wolf leading her took her to an open door and told her to wait outside while he went in and talked to the Lieutenant. After a moment he motioned for her to report in. Sasha marched in and stood at attention.\n\n\"Good morning, sir. Private Kearny reporting as ordered.\"\n\n\"Very well. Relax.\" The cougar in front of her held his hand out as she handed him the check-in paperwork. \"Have a seat.\" He motioned to the one chair in the office and she sat in it as the wolf left the room, closing the door. \"Welcome to 85th Brigade, Charlie Company, 1st Platoon.\"\n\n\"Thank you, sir.\" She replied, trying to hide her nervousness.\n\n\"You come from a very respectable family, Private Kearny. Brigadier General Kearny is your father, Retired General Brightman your uncle. You have quite the shoes to fill.\"\n\n\"Yes sir, I do.\" She said, half proud that her family is so esteemed here, and half nervous knowing that those were* big shoes to fill.\n\n\"With that, this platoon has quite the reputation. I'm actually being replaced as Platoon Commander today, so I won't give you my personal expectations. I'll leave that to the oncoming Lieutenant. I will, however, let you know what the unit will expect of you. You'll be expected to be in peak combat readiness at all times. You'll be expected to follow orders instantly. If hesitation happens, someone could die. We kill for a living here in 1st Platoon, and you'll be expected to kill the enemy without a thought. Do you think you can handle that?\"\n\n\"Yes sir.\"\n\n\"Alright. I will tell you that you'll be the only one in this platoon that hasn't seen combat yet, so the other soldiers might dog you about that. Just be prepared. We have some of the finest soldiers in the infantry, and they know it. I'll take you in there, just pick an open bunk and start stowing your gear. Make yourself comfortable and get familiar with the other soldiers in there. They're going to be your family while you're here, best get used to them.\"\n\n\"Yes, sir.\" Sasha followed the Lieutenant to the next door down the hallway. He opened it to a long room with bunks on each side. All but one were doubles. Male and female soldiers sat on the bunks, doing their own things. Some were even sleeping. Once the Lieutenant entered, the soldiers woke the sleeping ones and stood to hear what he had to say.\n\n\"Listen, up! This here is Private Kearny. She just got out of basic and was attached to us. Show her around and teach her the ropes around here. Give her any one of the empty bunks. I haven't assigned her to a squad, yet. I'm going to leave that up to the oncoming Platoon Commander. Carry on.\"\n\n\\* \\* \\* \\\n\nJeff watched as the Lieutenant left, leaving the female tiger behind. She looked nervous and unsure of what to do, so Jeff decided to introduce himself to her first. He walked up to her and held out his hand. She shifted her gear to her other arm and shook his hand.\n\n\"I'm Corporal Greenley. I'm the first squad leader. I'll show you to an open bunk.\"\n\n\"Thank you, Corporal.\" The tiger said as she followed the hyena to the double bunk next to his single.\n\n\"You'll be bunkmates with Jester here. By the way, we're not much on the 'yes, corporal; no corporal' shit here. We save that for the officers. We usually go by nicknames and call signs here. Most here call me Chuckles. Very original play on my species, huh?\" he laughed, making the tiger smile some. \"You'll get a nickname soon enough. Jester's called Jester cause, well, he jokes around a lot. He tends to bring up the spirits. You're next to me and Scotty here.\" He pointed at the single bunk next to hers.\n\n\"You have a single bunk?\" She asked, looking somewhat confused.\n\n\"Well Scotty and I are fiancés actually. Even though he split us in different squads, the Lieutenant at least lets us sleep together. His nickname is from some old sci-fi movie I'd never heard of. Don't really know how he got it. He stepped out for a cigarette a few minutes ago, but you'll get a chance to meet him. He's the handsome lion you'll see running around here causing trouble.\" He smiled. He noticed the tiger's eyes were drifting off behind him.\n\n\"Trouble, huh?\" Jeff spun around to see his mate was right behind him. The tiger let out a chuckle, covering her mouth quickly with her hand.\n\n\"How long have you been there?\" Jeff asked as the lion gave him a kiss on the cheek.\n\n\"Long enough.\" Scotty laughed. \"Who's the new chick?\"\n\n\"This is Private Kearny. We don't have a nickname for her yet.\"\n\nScotty reached over to shake the tiger's hand, \"Pleased to meet you. I'm Lance Corporal Bolden, A.K.A. Scotty. Are you, by any chance related to General Kearny?\"\n\nThe tiger nodded shyly, \"He's my father.\"\n\nJeff's eyes widened. \"Wow, so you know all the soldiers that pulled off the Sindraga rescue? That operation is pretty well-known around here.\"\n\n\"Not all of them. Just my father, mother, and uncles.\"\n\n\"Your uncles?\" Scotty asked curiously.\n\nSasha nodded. \"My uncle by blood was Jeremy Kearny. He was second in command of the troops at the time. He was married to General Chris Brightman, who was Commander of Troops then. My uncle Jeremy was killed during the rescue and after a while my Uncle Chris married the now Lieutenant Haldman, who was the Black Ops inside the base at Sindraga that helped break my father out.\"\n\n\"Wow, talk about a military family. We were never told that Lieutenant Haldman or General Brightman were related to you.\" Jeff said, \"Your mother died during the rescue, too, didn't she?\"\n\nSasha nodded.\n\n\"That sucks.\" Scotty said, simply.\n\n\"It was years ago. We still think about it a lot, but we make do.\" The tiger smiled. \"The Lieutenant told me I was going to be teased about not being to combat yet.\" She chuckled, \"You two have been pretty nice so far.\"\n\nJeff laughed, \"Well we're probably the friendliest ones here. As much of a stereotype as it is, we gay folks tend to be friendly. Though, I doubt you'll get much teasing due to your family history. You got some big family reputation to live up to.\"\n\nSasha smiled. \"Yeah, I've been getting that a lot recently.\"\n\n\"Hey, I'll show you around and introduce you to everyone. I'll make sure they don't start no shit.\" Scotty smiled, waving at her to follow.\n\n\"Great just leave me here.\" Jeff scoffed. Scotty walked back up to his mate and planted a firm kiss on his lips.\n\n\"You'll be alright. I'll be back to keep you company.\" Scotty replied in imitation of a mother talking to a baby. Jeff growled at him, but Scotty just laughed and walked off with the tigress.\n\n\\ \\* \\* \\\n\nSasha finished her rounds meeting everyone with Scotty. Everyone seemed to be pretty nice to her when Scotty told them about her family. They seemed to have a deep respect for what her father and uncles did, and sympathy to the deaths of her mother and Uncle Jeremy. She was one of three females in the platoon as well. It was mostly male-driven in the infantry, she knew. She also noticed the lack of sergeants and above in the enlisted ranks.\n\n\"Why are there so few sergeants and above here?\" She asked, mulling the possibilities around in her head.\n\n\"We used to have a lot, actually. Squad leaders used to be sergeants, and the platoon sergeant used to be a gunnery sergeant. About a year ago, we had a mission that ended in a lot of casualties. We lost the gunnery sergeant and three sergeants. The fourth sergeant was separated with PTSD. The one sergeant we have now got promoted a couple months ago. I guess we worked so well without them, that they never gave us anymore. It's either that, or a direct representation of the effects of the dwindling recruitment of infantry by the recruiting offices. You said yourself that you were an open contract. That's pretty much all we get nowadays.\" Scotty explained. Sasha could tell that the mentioning of the mission caused him a little grief. He looked at the ground the whole time while explaining it. Sasha reached over and touched his arm.\n\n\"I'm sorry, Scotty. They were good soldiers, weren't they?\"\n\nScotty chuckled, \"No, they were assholes. That's not the reason it hurts to talk about if that's what you're asking.\"\n\nSasha was confused. She didn't know what else could hurt someone like that more than the deaths. \"Then what happened?\"\n\n\"Well you'll find out soon enough anyway, so I might as well tell you now. The bastards almost took my hyena away from me. We were in pretty heavy, and Jeff took some shrapnel in the leg. It was severed clean off.\"\n\nSasha cringed at the thought. \"He's got a prosthesis?\"\n\nScotty nodded. \"Yeah, he almost bled out. Somehow the docs got to him in time. I thought he was gone for sure. They fitted him with some really advanced robotics for the leg, but told him that he would probably be kicked out of the military for it. That would have separated us, and he wouldn't have it. Jeff being Jeff, he trained with the new leg and eventually outperformed his old physical fitness scores. After showing them he could still stay combat efficient with the prosthesis, they decided not to kick him out. All that to stay here with me. I asked him to marry me shortly after that. Still, I hate thinking about the incident.\"\n\n\"I can see why.\" Sasha looked at the floor, not knowing what to say. \"Why do you call him Jeff? I thought everyone here used nicknames.\"\n\n\"Ah, well. He uses mine a lot. Hell, I answer to it more than Karl, which is my real name. I never liked his nickname. It's quite cheesy if you haven't noticed.\" He smirked at her.\n\nSasha chuckled, \"Yeah, it is.\"\n\n\"Let's get you unpacked. There's one more guy to meet, and he hasn't come back in yet. I'll help you with your gear.\"\n\nSasha followed Scotty back to her bunk. Jeff was lying on his back on the bunk that he and Scotty shared. He had his shirt off and a pair of gym shorts on, revealing the prosthesis. It was very advanced as Scotty had said, though it was glaringly out of place on his body. It made her feel a bit sad for him, even though he seemed perfectly happy with his life, and his mate.\n\n\"That took you long enough.\" Jeff smiled at the two.\n\n\"Well you know how things go. Everyone wants to ask questions about her family. I see you got comfy, there.\"\n\n\"You know me. Comfort first and foremost.\"\n\nScotty crawled on the bunk, straddling Jeff. \"You know I like it when you're comfy. Clothes look horrible on you.\" They both laughed and Scotty seized Jeff's mouth in a deep, passionate kiss that Sasha thought would never end.\n\n\"Am I gonna have to turn around now?\" She mused.\n\n\"Nah, you can watch if you want.\" Scotty said, his voice muffled, barely breaking off the kiss to talk.\n\nJeff broke off the kiss, leaving Scotty kissing down his neck and chest. \"Nah, we save that for the tents when we're out in the field. Or the showers when no one's around.\" He smiled, pushing a disappointed lion off of him.\n\n\"He never lets me have fun.\" Scotty pouted.\n\n\"You'll get your fun, sexy.\" Jeff laughed as he kissed the lion on the cheek. \"Anyway, look who just walked in.\"\n\nSasha looked toward the door to see a very handsome fox walking toward them. \"Is that Jester?\"\n\n\"Yep.\" Scotty nodded as he stood up, \"That's your bunkmate.\"\n\n\"Heyo Scotty, Chuckles!\" Jester smiled as he approached them, \"I almost thought I'd have to get a water hose on you two.\"\n\n\"Only if Scotty had his wish.\" Jeff smiled. \"I'd like you to meet your new bunkmate, Sasha Kearny.\"\n\nJester reached out a paw and shook Sasha's. \"Nice to meet you, there. Would this be the daughter of General Kearny?\"\n\n\"None other.\" Scotty chuckled, \"Though you're the first one to know their actual relation.\"\n\n\"Ah, you know me; I always look into the stuff they tell us here.\"\n\n\"I've heard a lot about you, Jester.\" Sasha grinned at the fox.\n\nJester scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. \"Well knowing these two, it ain't too flattering.\"\n\n\"Only that you joke around a lot, really. I just couldn't find anything else to say.\" Sasha laughed. The other three joined her.\n\n\"Phwew. These two are notorious for getting embarrassing things on a fellow. I think it's so they can have some collateral so the pathetic noises they make during sex doesn't get out in the open.\"\n\n\"Hey hey hey. At least we're getting laid.\" Scotty pointed out, grabbing the hyena close to him.\n\n\"Hey man, you can't make me jealous of you two. You should go show off to Hulk if you want to make someone jealous.\" Jester laughed.\n\nSasha remembered meeting Hulk. He was a massively built wolf, and was the only other gay male in the platoon. Despite his looks, he seemed a really endearing guy, and even though he never said anything about it, Sasha could tell that he really was jealous of Jeff and Scotty.\n\n\"Oh, before I forget,\" Jester said, \"I heard a nice little rumor about our oncoming lieutenant.\"\n\n\"Oh, really?\" Scotty said, keeping Jeff held close and running his hands through the fur on his mate's chest.\n\n\"Yeah, I heard he was prior enlisted - and get this - was Black Ops.\"\n\n\"Damn. That'd be nice.\" Jeff replied. \"It'd be great to have a competent lieutenant among us.\" He turned and saw Sasha's slightly confused face. \"Most of the lieutenants we get are fresh out of officer's training. They don't know squat about battle. Getting a prior enlisted is a huge breath of fresh air for us. Especially one as trained as a Black Ops.\"\n\nAlmost on cue, Sasha heard a familiar voice come from the front of the squad bay.\n\n\"1st Platoon! Gather 'round!\"\n\n\\ \\* \\* \\\n\nJeff gathered with the rest of the platoon around the large bull at the head of the squad bay. He was wearing his dress uniform; his numerous medals forming a large stack on his chest. He glanced quickly over at Sasha, who was staring wide-eyed at the bull. He wondered...\n\n\"My name is Lieutenant Haldman.\" The bull continued. Jaws dropped. This wasn't just any Black Ops soldier. This was the one that was involved in the famous Sindraga rescue. \"I can see from your faces that you've heard of me. It seems the Sindraga story is a popular one in the infantry battalions.\" He smiled. \"I'm going to be your new lieutenant for a while. Since you already know who I am, I'll skip my long introduction. Now, as far as the squads go, I'm going to change a few things. I've been briefed about all of you, even your nicknames, and feel that some slight tweaking would be beneficial to us all. As the ancient Greeks once believed, I also believe that the best person to cover your ass in combat is the one who thinks your ass is worth something. Therefore, I'm switching Hulk from first squad and replacing him with Scotty. That alright with you two?\"\n\n\"Yes, sir.\" Jeff replied, shocked. \"Very alright, sir.\"\n\nThe bull chuckled. \"I thought so. I noticed you, Scotty, and Jester talking to my niece over there. Seeing how she's bunked around first squad soldiers, I'm going to put her with first squad. That brings me to another point. Yes, I am related to Private Kearny, but don't get any ideas of special treatment. We're all* family in a platoon. If you see me doing her a favor, it'll probably only be because she knows she can approach me. If the rest of you do the same, I'll take care of all of you. I also know you mostly go by nicknames and call signs here. I used to be an enlisted man myself, and the 'Sir' shit grinds me sometimes. So when we're in the field, you may refer to me as my old call sign, Ghost. You can call me Ghost if I'm around in here as well. Believe it or not, officers get bored sitting in an office by themselves. Also, I like to try and get to know my soldiers, so you'll probably be seeing me in here a lot. As for my policies on training and whatnot, I'm going to stress training as much as my predecessor. You have a reputation of being one of the best infantry platoons there is. I'm going to strive to get rid of the 'one of' in front of that. A few things will have to happen to make that so. You'll have to become a family here. My predecessor said you were a pretty tight-knit group, but I want to continue that here. Without camaraderie, this platoon will fall apart. A lot of lieutenants say that we're not here to be your friends, only to lead. My take on that is if I'm not a friend of yours, you're going to be less likely to trust my decisions. I'm not going to take up any more time from you, so I'll leave you with some of my policies during a battle. Everyone fights, no one gives up. And, most importantly, no one is left behind. You should already know my thoughts on rescues. If there is a body left, it's coming home. I'm not going to make the same mistake I did with Private Kearny's mother. Take that to heart. No one is left behind.\"\n\nWith that, the bull left the squad bay. Ghost was a different kind of lieutenant. He basically cast aside everything about officers that enlisted hate. It was almost like having an enlisted soldier leading them. He looked over at his mate, who came toward him and embraced him.\n\n\"We're finally in the same squad, babe.\" Scotty said, smiling at him.\n\n\"I know. Lieutenant Haldman seems like a great lieutenant already.\" Jeff smiled back, shifting from the embrace to take the lion's hand and walk back to their bunk. Once they got to the bunk, they both laid down on it, Jeff holding his mate close as the lion's hands rubbed his bare chest. Sasha walked up with Jester a second later.\n\n\"So, Kearny, what are the chances of your uncle getting attached to us the same day you get here?\" Jeff asked.\n\n\"Well... I'd say they're pretty good. My father probably had a lot to do with it. He wasn't too thrilled that I was going into infantry.\"\n\n\"Ah, just tell 'im not to worry.\" Jester said, \"We'll take good care of ya here.\" He fuzzled Sasha's hair, causing her to shrink back and laugh.\n\nScotty lifted his head up from its place on Jeff's chest and looked at Sasha. \"Actually, your uncle might be the one thing this platoon needs. Our last lieutenant didn't know too much about combat, and that's the reason people got killed. And this.\" Scotty reached his arm over Jeff and touched his robotic leg. Jeff put his hand on Scotty's shoulder. Even though it was a horrible event for Jeff, his mate seemed to take it a lot harder. The memory always caused him pain. \"All I'm saying is your uncle has the knowledge to lead us, and I don't think he'll make a mistake like that. It could be the better for all of us, not just you.\"\n\n\\* \\* \\* \\\n\nSasha relaxed on the small bench outside the area where their tents were at. In the two weeks that she and her uncle were here, the bull kept his word about mingling with the rest of them. A lot of the platoon came to like him. It was kind of awkward at first, taking orders from her uncle like that, but she already started to get used to it. They were out on a field exercise, practicing squad drills and some combat marksmanship; the latter of which spawning her new nickname, Sniper. The rest of the platoon started trickling toward the bench. It was where they all just hung out after the day was done. She saw Jester walking toward her.\n\n\"Yo, Sniper!\" Jester called out. \"Good shootin' today.\"\n\n\"Thanks, Jester.\" She smiled back. \"Not too bad yourself.\"\n\n\"Heh, not quite as good as you. No wonder they assigned you to infantry, you had to have been the best shot in your platoon in basic.\"\n\n\"Yeah, I was alright I guess.\" She laughed.\n\n\"So modest.\" He chuckled back.\n\n\"Where's Scotty and Chuckles?\" She asked as Jester sat next to her on the bench.\n\n\"I think they decided to retire early. Chuckles seems to be getting pretty old after all,\" he laughed, \"and Scotty just follows him wherever. You'd think the two were attached at the hip.\"\n\nSasha laughed. \"How old is Chuckles?\"\n\n\"He's twenty-seven.\"\n\nSasha's eyes widened. \"Twenty-seven? He looks at most twenty-two!\"\n\n\"Yeah. Most people don't guess that old, since Scotty's only twenty himself. Seven years difference between the two.\"\n\n\"Damn, that's a pretty big gap. I wonder how Chuckles keeps up with someone so much younger than him.\" Sasha laughed.\n\n\"Ugh, believe me, their sex life is not something I want to think about. Even in joking.\" They both laughed.\n\n\"I need to see all the squad leaders as soon as possible!\" Her uncle's commanding voice shouted from behind her. She looked over at Jester.\n\n\"Should I go get Chuckles?\" She asked.\n\n\"Probably should.\" He nodded. \"He can sleep pretty hard. I doubt he heard that.\"\n\nSasha stood up and walked toward the tents. She wondered what her uncle had to say to the squad leaders. She hoped it was about getting out of the field. As much as the barracks were boring, she really didn't like having to go without showers for a few days. She came up to the tent that Chuckles shared with Scotty. There were no lights on inside, but the outside lights in the camp tended to be enough to see most everything when they were on.\n\n\"Chuckles?\" She called out. No answer. He must have been a heavy sleeper, like Jester said. The lights alone would have kept her awake. She grabbed the zipper to the tent and pulled down so she could try to shake him awake. Just when she did, the outside lights flooded the inside. She was not prepared to see what was inside. Chuckles was on his back, naked, his legs held up by Scotty on top of him. Like deer in headlights, all three of them froze. Quickly, Scotty came to, quickly leaning in closer to his mate, obviously trying to cover up what they were doing. Chuckles groaned in pain as his legs were pushed too close to his body. Sasha quickly covered her eyes.\n\n\"Ack, Christ, Scotty, I'm not that flexible.\" Chuckles groaned.\n\n\"Oh my God. I'm sorry!\" Sasha yelled, more embarrassed than she thought she could ever be.\n\nSasha heard Scotty chuckle, \"It's okay, Sniper. We were hoping you'd think we were asleep and leave.\"\n\n\"Umm... Well...\" Sasha kept her paw over her eyes, trying not to have to see that again. \"Uh... Ghost wants to talk to the squad leaders as soon as possible. Um... Do you want me to tell him that you'll be there... Uh... After...\"\n\n\"Haha, no.\" Chuckles replied. \"The moment's gone. Now if Scotty would kindly pull out of me...\"\n\n\"Oh God, don't say that!\" Sasha yelled, \"You're gonna make me sick!\"\n\nShe heard both of them laugh. \"I'll get dressed and see him, just tell him that.\"\n\n\"Okay... Um... Yeah, I'm gonna go now.\" Sasha said, feeling her face heat up from the embarrassment. She fumbled around for the zipper on the tent door. Once she found it, she pulled it up quickly, and turned to walk back toward the bench, shuddering.\n\n\"What's the matter, Sniper?\" Jester yelled to her as she neared the bench. \"You look like you just walked in on them fucking or something.\"\n\n\"I did.\" She stated simply. Jester laughed uncontrollably. Apparently some of the other soldiers heard, since she heard laughter sprouting up from around them.\n\n\"Oh God, that must have been horrible!\" Jester said, still laughing. He was getting a big kick out of this, much to the further embarrassment of Sasha.\n\n\"Who was the top?\" She heard her uncle chuckle from behind her.\n\n\"Oh, God!\" She whined, burying her face in her paws. Everyone around her laughed harder.\n\n\"Come on! Who?\" Her uncle laughed. All she wanted was to drown the mental image out of her head, but no one here would let her.\n\n\"Uh...\" She started, still embarrassed and disturbed by the sight. \"It was Scotty.\"\n\n\"I knew it!\" Her uncle shouted. They were all getting a kick out of her misery.\n\nJust then, Scotty and Chuckles walked up to the bench, all smiles. They were holding hands and dressed in gym shorts, undershirts, and shower shoes. They seemed to be getting a kick out of the whole thing as well.\n\n\"I hope you're happy, Sniper.\" Chuckles laughed. \"Not only did you ruin some perfectly good sex, but I think Scotty might have done some permanent damage to my hips by trying to cover me up.\" Everyone around her laughed. She would never live this down.\n\n\"Locking doors are a big convenience.\" Her uncle said. \"I couldn't count the times she's knocked on my door while me and her uncle were having a bit of fun.\" He laughed.\n\n\"Oh, God! I don't want to hear this!\" Sasha buried her face in her paws again, feeling her cheeks get hot. They were enjoying this way too much.\n\n\"I could hear some more about it.\" Hulk chuckled a bit. Her uncle looked over toward the huge wolf, who still was smaller than the bull.\n\n\"Hulk, you couldn't handle what I got. My mate's even bigger than me, and he can barely take it.\" Sasha buried her face deeper in her paws as the unwanted mental image of her uncles together invaded her thoughts. Though now, it seemed, they weren't laughing at her as much as Hulk. She looked up to see the wolf with a look on his face that spoke of both embarrassment and intrigue. As much as this conversation was disturbing her, she had to join in the laughs just for the look on Hulk's face.\n\n\"Anyway, all jokes aside, I need to talk to the squad leaders. I got some word for us.\" Her uncle said, walking a distance away from the group of soldiers; the squad leaders following behind.\n\nAfter a moment, the laughter died down and the side conversations started again. Scotty lit up a cigarette and sat by Sasha and Jester.\n\n\"Wonder what Ghost is passing to them.\" He mused, taking a puff of his cigarette.\n\n\"We'll probably find out soon.\" Jester said, \"Chuckles doesn't usually keep us in the dark about anything.\"\n\n\"I wouldn't know. I've never been in the same squad as him until now.\"\n\n\"Believe it or not, your mate leads well. Though, I hear you're the one leading things in the bedroom. Or tent as it were.\" Jester chuckled.\n\nScotty chuckled a bit as well, \"Yeah, well, I think he gets off on being dominated by a lesser rank. Not that I wouldn't switch for him, it's just never come to that.\"\n\n\"Woah, woah. No need to go that detailed, Scotty.\" Jester laughed. \"I think you've disturbed Sniper enough already tonight.\"\n\n\"That he has.\" Sasha nodded, provoking a laugh from Scotty. A couple minutes passed in silence as the three relaxed after a hard day of training. Shortly after, Sasha noticed the squad leaders heading back. Before she could ask what was passed, she saw her uncle motioning for her to come to him. She quickly headed over to the bull.\n\n\"Your father wants to hear from you. I know we've been pretty busy this week, but we'll be back in the barracks tomorrow. Here's a vid capture.\" Her uncle handed her the device. \"Make a message for him, and I'll see that it gets to him quickly. Now, I'm pretty sure your squad leader has some word to pass on to you.\" He fuzzled her hair some as he turned away to head back to the tent area. Sasha walked back over to the bench where Jeff was talking to the other members of the squad.\n\n\"What's going on Chuckles?\" She asked.\n\n\"Pack your stuff.\" He replied, \"We're heading back to the barracks tonight. We got a day to get ready. We've got a mission.\"\n\n\\ \\* \\* \\\n\nJake walked through the door to his house after a long day at work. He just got word that his daughter was going on her first mission today. No one could really tell him much about it, except that it was a very routine sweep. The only things he had heard about her since she left were the things Jerry had said to Chris about her in the captures that he sent to them. He was glad he was able to get Jerry in their platoon, otherwise he might not have heard anything about Sasha.\n\n\"Jake, that you?\" Chris' voice called out from the hallway.\n\n\"Yeah. What's up?\" He replied as the panther rounded the corner, holding a small viewer in his hand.\n\n\"This just got here. It's from Sasha.\"\n\nJake rushed to grab the viewer. \"Did you watch it yet?\"\n\n\"No, I was going to wait to watch it with you. Jerry sent me one as well. Though, you wouldn't want to see that.\" Chris chuckled.\n\nJake shook his head, \"You're right, I don't. Let's sit down and watch it.\"\n\nThe two sat down close so they could both get a good view of the small screen. Jake was so anxious to see how Sasha was doing, the split-second that the viewer took to read the disc inside seemed like forever. Soon enough, though, his daughter's face appeared on the screen. She looked a little unkempt, but healthy.\n\n\"Hey dad! Also, hey Uncle Chris, I know you're probably watching as well. Uncle Jerry told me that you wanted to hear from me. I'm sorry I never sent you a vid before. I was so busy getting settled in my new platoon that I never thought about going out and buying a capture. Uncle Jerry's letting me use his for the time being. Well, anyway. Everything's been going alright here. We just got out of the field and I haven't gotten a chance to shower yet, which is why I'm all dirty. Everyone's pretty much been nice to me since I got here; it seems my last name tends to carry a lot of clout in the infantry.\" Jake chuckled a bit to himself. He had also heard that the stories of the Sindraga rescue carried far. \"I've made a few friends along the way, as well. I got my new nickname now. Everyone's calling me 'Sniper'. They gave it to me while we were doing some combat marksmanship. I'm one of the best shots here.\" She smiled, proud of her nickname and the accomplishment it represented. \"That's really all we've been up to recently. So since I don't have too much else to say, I'll show you some of my fellow soldiers here.\"\n\nThe video shook as she picked up the capture, turning it to her left to focus in on a young male fox. Sasha's voice spoke in the background. \"This is Jester, my bunkmate.\" The fox turned to face the capture and waved frantically with a goofy smile on his face. \"You can see where he gets his nickname from.\" Sasha laughed in the background. Jake couldn't help but smile as well. The capture turned back to her face for a moment before turning to her right to show a single bunk with a male lion and male hyena cuddled up on it. \"These guys sleep next to me. The hyena is called Chuckles. He's my squad leader. The lion there is his fiancé, Scotty. They're really cool guys, but it's kinda hard to look at them now.\" The camera moved back to show her face. \"Let's just say that it's a bad idea to open a tent with an intimate couple in it.\" Laughter surrounded the capture, coming from all sides, making his daughter blush. Jake heard Chris roar with laughter, and found himself joining in. Sasha angrily turned to her right, \"Shh! It's not funny! I'm scarred for life now!\" Jake could tell she almost forgot about the capture when she continued, \"Not only did I walk in on you two, but Ghost just had* to put that mental image of him and my uncle together in my head!\" Jake could hear Jerry's unmistakable bellowing laughter somewhere farther off from the capture.\n\nChris put his paw on his forehead. \"Oh, that bull. He's going to ruin her.\"\n\nSasha turned back to the capture and obviously only then realized that she had just said all that in the recording. \"Sorry.\" She said with a shocked and embarrassed look on her face. \"Anyway, Uncle Chris, I thought you might want to know; there's a guy here that's trying to be your competition. He doesn't know that he doesn't stand a chance, though. Here, lemme see if I can get a shot of him.\" The camera turned around to show a largely built wolf on the other side of the squad bay. The wolf was shirtless, showing off his musculature, and also completely unaware he was on video. The capture turned back to Sasha's face. \"His name's Hulk, for obvious reasons, and he's always eyeing Uncle Jerry.\" Sasha chuckled. \"Though Uncle Jerry usually catches him and embarrasses the hell out of him. It's pretty funny actually. Anyway, I guess that's really all I have that's new around here. I'm doing well, so don't worry; even though I know you will. Oh, yeah. One more thing. At first I was kinda angry about you sending Uncle Jerry over here. I knew that you had something to do with that. But, now, it seems like he's a ton better than the last Lieutenant that we had here, and everyone here likes him. Not only because he's nice and everything, but he has a better knowledge of combat and a better leadership style. So I guess I should say thanks.\" She smiled. \"So, now that's all I have for ya. Send me a vid back! If you don't, I won't know what you want to hear about next. Anyway, love you both! Bye!\"\n\nWith that the vid ended. Jake was happy for her. She seemed to be in a pretty good platoon. She didn't say anything about the mission that they were having, but either she didn't know at the time, or she was doing the right thing and not talking about it on an unsecure medium. As much as he knew the protocol for discussing future movements, he wanted to know how she felt about going on her first mission. He hoped that she would talk about it some in her next vid. Chris put an arm around him and hugged him, probably knowing what he was thinking about.\n\n\"She's doing well, Jake. She'll continue to do well. I can tell by their faces that the friends around her won't let her do anything stupid on her first mission. Infantry always looks after their own.\"\n\nJake nodded and hugged the panther back. \"I know. I'm still worried about her, though.\"\n\n\"Of course you are.\" Chris chuckled slightly. \"You're her father; it's your job to worry.\"\n\n\\* \\* \\* \\\n\nJeff could tell that Sniper was nervous. She had a right to be, honestly; it was her first real mission. Lucky for her, it was a short and seemingly easy one. Satellites had noticed a small rebel communications outpost on Lintra, a small planet well outside the known rebel fleet positions. Their job was to clean up what the bombers left behind. The closer they got to their destination, the more the tension inside the drop ship grew. Most of the soldiers, Jeff included, were just getting anxious to get out there. Sniper, however, seemed to be getting a little scared and worried. He chuckled to himself, remembering how he reacted on his first mission. He was so scared he pissed himself. It was funny how after being in this job for so long can make you a little numb sometimes. Jeff leaned closer to Sniper.\n\n\"Don't worry Sniper, we got your back. Just shoot like I know you can, and you'll be fine.\" He smiled.\n\nShe chuckled nervously, \"Is it that obvious?\"\n\n\"A little. But everyone here knows what it's like on your first mission. We all feel that way at first.\" Jeff leaned back in his seat. He looked over to his mate sitting next to him, who just smiled at him. Jeff himself wasn't too afraid of dying. The only thing he was ever afraid of was his lion dying. He knew that Scotty felt the same way about him. They had been through this more times than he wanted to remember, but it still never lessened the chance of one of them getting killed. He grabbed on to the lion's paw and looked into his eyes.\n\n\"If anything happens...\"\n\n\"I love you.\" Scotty smiled back.\n\n\"I love you too.\" Jeff leaned in to kiss the lion. This was somewhat of a ritual for them before every mission.\n\n\"Alright,\" Ghost yelled from his seat in the drop ship. \"The bombers made their rounds. Let's go over it again. There is an underground bunker that probably won't be affected by the bombs. Our job is to go in and mop up any remaining rebel soldiers. The bunker is small, so we're going to toss in a small payload of C-4 and clean it out. The concussion alone should kill whoever is left inside by the time we get there. Hulk, that's you.\" The huge wolf nodded, with a grim expression on his face that seemed to only show up before and during a mission. \"The rest of us will make sure he gets there. Keep your dispersion. Remember what you learned in basic and you'll be fine.\" The bull looked at Sniper during his last words, obviously trying to give some kind of calming speech to her.\n\nThe drop ship shook, landing on the desert ground; one hundred yards from the outpost if all went according to plan. Everyone stood up at once and exited the drop ship quickly and spreading out. About a hundred yards in front of them, the charred remains of the outpost could be seen clearly. The few buildings were in shambles. One tall one seemed about ready to fall at any minute. Ghost motioned them to head on, and they did, slowly, until they reached the rubble of the outpost. It seemed quiet. Almost too quiet for Jeff. Just then, a flash of light flew past him, and he quickly turned to see Scotty falling to the ground. A hail of blaster fire went off from their ranks, shooting at where each of them thought the shot came from as they ducked behind the shambled buildings to either side of them. Jeff just froze. He saw Jester pick Scotty up and run him behind the building on the left as something hit Jeff hard in the chest, knocking him back behind the one on the right. He snapped to quickly and saw that Ghost had tackled him behind the building.\n\n\"Sniper! There's a real sniper in that tall building. He's covered up with rubble, but his head is visible on the right side of the hole, there. You're our best shot, get him!\"\n\nSniper was staring over to the other building at Scotty when Ghost shook her.\n\n\"Focus! You can get him!\"\n\nSniper shook her head quickly as if to snap back into reality and shifted over to the side of the building. She peeked out quickly to try to see the sniper in the tower. The rebel must not have seen her since there was no more fire coming from the tower. She peeked back out with her rifle this time and fired.\n\n\"I got him! Saw the gun falling!\"\n\n\"Good job, Sasha.\" Ghost said before motioning to the rest of the platoon to keep going. \"Chuckles, take Jester's place. You've got more first aid know-how. The rest of you, move fast!\"\n\nJeff ran to where Jester was hovering over his mate, pressing his hands down on his abdomen. He slid to a stop, falling to the ground in front of the lion.\n\n\"Ghost said for me to replace you. Go to the others.\"\n\n\"Shot through the belly. He's losing a lot of blood, but I think it'll be alright.\" Jester replied quickly before running off. Jeff quickly pressed both his hands down on the wound to keep pressure on it. He looked behind quickly and saw a small speeder closing in. They had made the call already. The medics were on their way.\n\n\"Hon? Can you hear me?\" Jeff looked into the lions face. Scotty winced and groaned at the pain, but nodded. \"You're gonna be alright, the medics are coming.\"\n\n\"Jeff,\" the lion groaned. \"I love you, Jeff.\" He roared and arched back at the pain.\n\n\"I love you to, but you're not dying. You hear me? You'll be alright.\" Jeff felt tears well up in his eyes as he tried to keep the bleeding to a minimum.\n\n\"I love you.\" The lion whispered, trying to gasp in the air.\n\n\"Hey, don't talk like that, you hear me? Karl David Bolden, you're not going to die!\" Jeff yelled as the speeder pulled up to them. A young fox and a wolf rushed to them with a stretcher.\n\n\"We got him from here!\" The wolf said as the two pulled Scotty on the stretcher.\n\n\"No, I'm going with him! He's my fiancé!\" Jeff yelled after them as they loaded him onto the speeder.\n\n\"No room! Join up with your platoon. Let us do our job.\" The wolf replied. Jeff just watched as they speeded off toward the drop ship, which had a small medical supply.\n\n\"Chuckles, Chuckles, this is Ghost, over.\" Ghost's voice came through the radio. Jeff picked it up and pressed the talk button.\n\n\"This is Chuckles. Go ahead, over.\"\n\n\"We're all done here, what's Scotty's condition, over.\" Jeff never heard the blast that would have taken out the bunker. He was so focused on his mate that he wasn't paying attention to anything else. He had never had that problem before. He wondered if it happened to Scotty when Jeff lost his leg.\n\n\"Medics took him back to the drop ship. Condition critical, over.\"\n\n\"Stay there. We're coming back. Over and out.\"\n\nJeff sat against the building. It was a routine sweep. The simplest of missions, really. They had done these hundreds of times. But this time, there had to be a rebel sniper, and he had to shoot his mate. It was the dumb luck of it that hit him the hardest. After so many times of heavy resistance, he gets shot when there was only one guy. Jeff buried his face in his arms and cried as he waited for the rest of them to reach him.\n\n\\ \\* \\* \\\n\n\"Jake.\" Chris said as Jake entered the house after work. \"This came in today.\" He lifted up a vid-disc. It was sent from Jerry, but Chris hadn't watched it yet, since Jerry had written 'for both of you' on a slip of paper that accompanied the disc. \"It's from Jerry, but he said that we both should watch it.\"\n\nThe tiger sat down next to Chris as he put the disc in the player. His husband's face showed up on the screen, as handsome as it always was, yet grim. \"Hey guys, I thought it was about time to tell you about our first mission. As you probably have heard, Jake, we had one soldier injured. All-in-all it was a very successful mission, but it's been pretty hard on Sasha, and even me for some reason. The guy that got injured got hit by sniper fire, and is in a coma right now. Sasha probably showed you him on her last vid. It was the lion who's mates with the hyena.\" Chris shook his head grimly. Ever since Jeremy died, he hated the idea of mates being torn apart like that, and he knew Jake felt the same. \"He was a really good friend of Sasha's, and it's been a bit rough for her, that happening to a friend on her first mission. Also, she's been dealing with the normal issues with taking another's life. It happens to everyone here, which I'm sure you both know. She was the one that took down the sniper.\" The bull smiled a bit. \"You both would have been proud of how she handled it then. She performed wonderfully. It was only when we got back and the adrenaline settled that she started taking it hard. She's been getting a lot of support from her rack mate, Jester, though. He's a great kid. He's with her all of the time trying to comfort her. I wouldn't be surprised if something developed there. To appeal a little bit more to Chris - I know you're wondering what made me take it badly - you know I don't like having soldiers injured, or killed, and this one doesn't look too great. Also, for me, they just remind me of us a little bit. They were pretty much inseparable, and very obviously in love. It hurts me personally to see that happen to a couple. I know through you and Jake how hard that is. It started me thinking about how I would feel if I lost you, and Christ that hurt like hell just thinking about it.\" Chris felt tears well up in his eyes as he remembered the incident twelve years ago. He truly felt sympathy for the young hyena. They were too young to be going through that, he thought. Jerry looked down from the capture and sniffled. Thinking about it really did hurt the bull. \"Well, I guess that's really all to say right now. I'll have Sasha send you a capture after things settle down some. It's just been really dreary around here. Everyone's worried about how Scotty will do, and how Chuckles is taking it. I love you very much, Chris. And you, too, Jake. Take care.\" With that the vid ended. It was an emotional subject for them all. Deaths happen in combat, and that's mostly unavoidable, but a couple being torn apart by it, that was all too much of a reminder to them about the Sindraga incident. They had all been through the same thing, and knew the pain involved. Chris wouldn't wish that on anyone.\n\nChris looked over at Jake, who also seemed to be tearing up remembering his wife. Chris set the capture down on the coffee table in front of the couch they were sitting on, and put a hand on the tiger's shoulder.\n\n\"She'll be alright. She's going to have to learn to deal with scars like these.\"\n\nJake nodded. \"I know. I just don't want her to have to go through what we did.\"\n\n\"I don't, either, Jake, but it's a fact of war. People die, and she's going to be right there witnessing it. She's strong. She'll make it through.\" Chris sighed. \"Sometimes, as much as I know he loves me, I forget how much Jerry hurts being without me. He's always so strong on the outside.\"\n\n\"You two have that in common. He'll be alright, too. Don't worry.\"\n\n\\ \\* \\* \\\n\nSasha opened the door to Scotty's room in the medical wing of the base to see Jeff with his head on the lion's shoulder crying. Scotty had been in a coma for a couple days, but the docs said he was starting to stabilize. None of that really mattered to the hyena, Sasha knew; he just wanted his lover to be awake and with him again. Jeff lifted his head to see who entered, the fur on his face matted from the tears. After recognizing Sasha, he turned back to look at the unconscious lion. Sasha silently walked to the chair next to the hyena and put her arm around him. Sasha had taken Scotty's injury hard - this being the first time she's ever really seen someone injured like that - and also the realization of killing someone for the first time was causing her some grief and, honestly, some nightmares. However, those things together amounted to nothing compared to how she saw Jeff take Scotty's injury. He hadn't left the lion's side since they returned. Sasha and Jester brought him food at the meal times, worried that Jeff would forget - or just not care - to eat if they didn't.\n\n\"He's been under too long.\" Jeff said weakly, still staring at the lion's face. Sasha gave the hyena's back a light rub to try to comfort him.\n\n\"He could still pull through.\"\n\n\"He can't die.\" Jeff's voice started to choke, \"He's all I have left.\"\n\n\"I know. All we can do now is wait.\" Sasha didn't really know what she could say to the hyena anymore. She was starting to repeat herself each visit. Jeff just continued to look at his mate. Sasha watched him for a minute, and spoke up again. \"Ghost ordered me to get you out of here for a few minutes.\" She lied, but she knew that if he stayed here he would drive himself nuts. \"Let's go get some food with Jester.\"\n\n\"I don't want to leave him. What if he wakes up?\" He finally looked at her.\n\n\"Then you can talk to him when we get back. It won't take long.\" She smiled comfortingly toward him.\n\n\"What if...\" His eyes trailed down, making the unsaid words obvious. Sasha thought for a second as to how to respond.\n\n\"Well if something bad starts happening, then the docs are going to push you out of the way to try to save him. Maybe that split second would be the deciding factor in it. Anyway, realistically, you staying here can't change whether he's going to wake up or not.\" She decided to say it bluntly. She knew that when someone is depressed, they sometimes need to hear the harsher truth. It seemed to work. She could almost see Jeff's mind working around it, and he nodded slightly in acquiescence.\n\n\"I guess you're right. I suppose it might do some good to get out of this room. It depresses me.\" He stood up with her. They both walked toward the door, but when Sasha opened it for him, he turned around and looked at the lion longingly. After a moment of staring at Scotty again, Jeff turned back around and walked through the door, fresh tears still forming in his eyes.\n\n\\ \\* \\* \\\n\nJester walked through the hallways with Sniper and Jeff after eating lunch with them. He was glad that they were able to get the hyena out of the room with Scotty. He had been taking it really rough. Sniper seemed to take it badly as well. Jester had spent the last few nights comforting Sniper, and although he couldn't really muster the courage to tell her, he had started some feelings of his own for her. He didn't think they were returned, so he never spoke up about them to her. He had never been that good in the female department, as much as he let on. He was content right now helping her out, and helping Jeff. He had been in the hyena's squad since his first day. He remembered when Scotty came in as well, soon after Jester. He remembered how they had fallen in love, and it saddened the fox to see his closest friends hurting like this. As much as he liked to joke around, he hadn't been in the mood to recently. At least the lunch went well. He wasn't sure if Sniper would be able to get him out, but she pulled through, and it seemed to help the hyena. The wet spots around his eyes dried up some, and he started to look his old self again.\n\nAs they rounded the corner and could see the window to Scotty's room, Jeff stopped dead in his tracks. Jester looked up through the window and saw what startled the hyena. Four doctors were standing around the lion's bed, one of them looking at his watch and talking to one with a clipboard. Jester knew exactly what was happening, and he knew Jeff did too.\n\n\"No!\" Jeff whispered under his breath before taking off in a sprint and bursting through the doors leaving Jester and Sniper trying to catch up to him.\n\nWhen they got to the room, Jeff was going insane. He had barreled through the room, knocking three of the unsuspecting doctors to the floor. He was in hysterics, yelling at the still lion's body.\n\n\"You're not dead! No!\" He trailed of incoherently, trying to find a way to save his mate. One of the doctors tried to pull him away, but the hyena spun around and punched the wolf, knocking him on the ground. \"He's not dead! Don't tell me that! He can't die!\"\n\nJester decided to do what he could to restrain Jeff. He tackled the hyena to the ground and pinned his arms down. Jeff was snarling viciously at him. \"He's dead, Jeff! He's dead! There's nothing we can do!\" Sasha joined Jester and squatted next to the hyena, her eyes full of tears. She put a hand on his shoulder, and he broke down, starting to sob uncontrollably.\n\n\"I'm sorry, Jeff.\" She said tearfully, \"He's gone.\"\n\nJester turned to the wolf that Jeff hit, \"Sorry about this, Doc.\"\n\nThe wolf looked back at him, \"Was he the fiancé?\"\n\nJeff nodded at the wolf, \"Yes he was.\"\n\n\"It's okay, then.\" The wolf nodded, \"I know how that feels.\" With that, the doctors filed out of the room to wait outside so they could calm the hyena.\n\nJester watched the wolf leave. These days, it seemed like everyone knew all too well how losing a loved one felt.\n\n\\ \\* \\* \\\n\nJerry waited as the chaplain finished his part of the memorial service. The whole time, Jerry watched Jeff to see how he was doing. He was a wreck. Every time the chaplain mentioned Scotty, he buried his face in his paws. It was too much for the kid. He was too young to go through something like this. Jerry wished he could go over to him and hug him, or give him some kind of comfort, but he knew that nothing he could do would comfort him. At least the hyena had his squad mates there. Sasha had her hand on his shoulder, giving what comfort she could. Jester was standing on the other side of him and would occasionally offer his hand for comfort as well. Every so often the fox would glance over at Sasha, giving Jerry a clear hint as to how he felt. He was just as worried for her as he was of the hyena. Jerry sighed as the chaplain finished speaking and it was his time to stand up and speak. He walked to the small podium they had set up in the graveyard, facing the head of the coffin.\n\n\"Today we have come not only to bury a great soldier. Today we bury a great friend. Today we bury a great lover. Scotty was all of these things. It is a great loss to all of us, some more than others.\" He looked at Jeff, who had already buried his face in his paws again. \"He was always friendly to everyone, never started any trouble, and always showed his devotion to his mate. I personally think of myself lucky to have known him. He was a great guy, and I will remember him fondly. The death of a friend is painful, and even though we are in an occupation that puts our lives in danger every day, it still hurts to see someone you knew lose their life. I remember every soldier that has lost their life while in my charge, and I will remember Scotty. I ask that each of you also remember him. Now, I have something for you, Jeff.\" Jerry used his real name, since 'Chuckles' seemed ill fit for the occasion. The hyena looked up at him when he heard his name. \"It's a letter from my husband to you. I have never lost a mate, so I don't pretend to know the pain you're going through. My husband, however, has. I told him about what happened, and he wrote this out for me to read to you. I know it hurts to hear all this today, but I ask that you pay attention to what he wrote, okay?\" The hyena nodded, and Jerry began to read the letter.\n\n\"Jeff, I have never met you, but I've been told a lot about you from my niece, and in one of the vids she sent us, I saw you and Scotty. I could see the love you both had for each other, and I know just how much it hurts to lose a mate like that. I lost my last husband, Sasha's blood uncle, after five years of marriage. I thought it was the end of the world for me, and I can imagine that that is what you feel like right now. I wrote this to you to give you some advice that I've learned over the years. Mourn him, but don't dwell on his death. If you dwell, the pain will never lessen. Remember his life. Remember only the good times. Remember how he stayed by your side when you lost your leg. Remember how he smiled, how he laughed. Remember the times you both laughed, like the time my niece walked in on you two. Yes, even I heard about that one.\" Jerry saw a weak smile show up on the hyena's face. Chris had always been good with his words. \"Always remember the things that made you smile, and the pain will lessen. It will never truly go away, but it becomes bearable. I believe that you will see him again in time, just like I believe I will see my late husband. In times like these, one of the greatest aids is your friends. Your platoon commander was one of the friends that helped me with Jeremy's death. You don't have to marry your friends like I did, but lean on them. I know my niece cares about you, being the first one to speak to her. Talk to your friends about how you feel, and they will help you. There's no point in keeping your emotions in. You won't seem weak to anyone for being emotional about this. If they truly are your friends, they'll understand how much it hurts. This is my advice, you can take it if you want. As one who also knows the pain of losing a mate, you have my sincere condolences. Signed: Chris Brightman, Retired General.\" As Jerry finished the letter, he felt a few tears forming in his own eyes. He could tell that Chris had poured his heart into writing this, and he knew that it was excellent advice for the hyena. \"Jeff, I know it can be hard, but try to take my husband's advice. He learned all of this the hard way. Nobody told him how to deal with it, and it took him six years to finally be able to bear it. He wrote this for you to help you so you wouldn't have to bear it like he did. No one can replace Scotty, but I'm sure he'd want you to live your life to its fullest. If you need someone to talk to, I know my niece will be there for you, and I will too. You have friends here, and we'll help you get through this together.\" Jerry looked at the hyena who just nodded at him, fresh tears streaming liberally from his eyes. Jerry folded the note and placed it back into his pocket. At that time, the bugler started to play taps. Every soldier stood and saluted as the casket was lowered into the grave. Jerry watched the hyena try to keep his salute as he sobbed. It was the start of a long road of recovery for the hyena.\n\n\\ \\* \\* \\\n\nSasha stood as she saw Jeff enter from the front hatch. It had been over a month since Scotty's funeral, and within those first days, the hyena broke down completely. He was essentially catatonic. Jerry had ordered him to go through some kind of grief counseling, Sasha wasn't sure of the specifics. All she knew was that the hyena had been gone for a month. She was glad he was back. She watched, almost tearfully, as the others approached him and gave him their welcomes. Sasha and Jester stood still by their racks near the end of the squad bay and waited for the hyena to make his way toward them. It seemed that was exactly what he intended to do, as well. Every greeting he gave seemed somewhat rushed, and he was heading straight toward the two. Once he passed the initial crowding he almost ran toward Sasha and Jester. Sasha opened her arms and the hyena plowed into her and embraced her tightly.\n\n\"We missed you Jeff.\" She said, trying to be as comforting as possible, not knowing just how much the grief counseling worked.\n\n\"I missed you guys too.\" He replied, breaking the embrace and looking into her eyes. \"It didn't feel right without you two. I'm-\" the husky paused, and looked away, down to the floor. \"I'm sorry I broke down like that. I mean, I know you two took it hard as well. I felt like I had abandoned you.\"\n\nSasha was shocked. \"What? You didn't abandon us. Yes, it did hurt us as well, but I can't even imagine how you felt. I'm sure I would have reacted worse than you. You can't always be the strong squad leader. We know you too well.\" She smirked.\n\nJeff let out a slight chuckle. \"Thanks. I did a lot of thinking over the month. I was kind of worried that you would think less of me for just shutting down.\"\n\nJester stepped in and put his paw on Jeff's shoulder. \"Hey, no one's perfect. The fact that you're still standing here and not being discharged right now is a testament to your strength. We're here for you as well. It's not just you for us. Besides, we had each other here.\"\n\nJeff raised an eyebrow at that. \"So, you two hook up yet or what?\"\n\nSasha felt her face heat up instantly as Jester seemed to gag and choke on nothing but air as Jeff just watched their reactions and laughed. At least he was able to laugh again.\n\n\"Wh-What're you talkin' about?\" Jester stammered, shock still fresh on his face.\n\n\"Oh my God, you two. Come on! I've known you had the hots for each other since you first met. A month without me must have sparked something.\"\n\n\"Get a hold of yourself, Jeff.\" Sasha smiled. \"I'm pretty damn sure that Jester would rather have his pick of the more pretty girls from home. At least your sense of humor's still intact. Jeez.\"\n\n\"Oh, come on, Sasha.\" Jeff replied as Jester stood there, obviously flustered. \"You ever see him be so gentle and kind to anyone besides us here? Karl and I knew him for a long time, that's why he's like that for me, but you? Right when he met you he's been a picture of a gentleman. Gentlemen aren't usually the kind of guys that sign up for infantry, if you haven't noticed.\"\n\nSasha turned to Jester. \"Is he telling the truth?\"\n\nJester turned to face her and stared at her for a moment. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Opening them up slowly, he began to explain. \"Well, yes. He is. I've liked you for a long time. I didn't really know what to say or do or anything. I'm not that used to dating anymore. Then, well, when Scotty died, we got a lot closer. I didn't want to say anything then, either, cause I didn't want you to think that I was taking advantage of you or anything. I guess I was just content with-\"\n\nSasha stopped him mid-sentence and pulled him into a kiss. It was strange. She had never been that overcome with emotion before. Honestly, she never felt that way before. In a subconscious way, she was hoping that he liked her, and she must have been blind to not be able to tell that he did. She broke the kiss, and the shock on his face seemed to match what she felt on her face as well. In that instant, she knew that she did, in fact, love him.\n\n\"Hah,\" Jeff chuckled, \"you two would never get anything done without me. Not even in your love lives.\"\n\n\"Wait a sec, Jeff.\" Sasha turned to the hyena. \"Why, after a month of being gone, do you suddenly play matchmaker in the first five minutes you've been back?\"\n\nThe hyena shrugged. \"Like I said, I did a lot of thinking. I basically figured that since something had ended for me, I might as well help with a beginning for someone else. I told myself that if you two hadn't already gotten together, I would help. I knew it would be easy. You two deserve to be happy. Karl made my life here easier, better. You two deserve that better life too. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to take a piss.\"\n\nSasha watched as the hyena walked away. She was still dumb-struck at everything that happened so quickly. She looked into Jester's eyes again, and as the urge took her once more, kissed him. Jeff sure was a crafty hyena, but a good one even so. A very* good one.\n\n\\* \\* \\* \\\n\nChris thumbed the small disc from Jerry. The disc came in earlier with the mail, and was addressed to both him and Jake, so per the usual, he waited on the couch for Jake to come home for work. It had been a few weeks since they had heard from Jerry or Sasha, and he was anxious to see them again, even if only on a small screen. He heard the door open and slam shut. Obviously another rough day at work for Jake.\n\n\"You alright Jake?\" Chris yelled from the couch.\n\n\"God, sometimes I wish I hadn't moved to Intel.\" Jake replied, rounding the corner into the living room. He stopped as he saw the vid disc in Chris' hand.\n\n\"What happened?\" Chris asked sitting up. It was rare to see Jake this flustered. It must have been something big.\n\n\"Later. Is that from Sasha?\" Jake pointed at the disc.\n\n\"Maybe, haven't watched it yet. Seems like Jerry's handwriting on the letter, but it's addressed to both of us. Sit, let's have a look.\" The tiger sat down next to Chris as he put the disc in the small vid player.\n\nOnce he hit play, Jerry's face appeared on the screen. \"Hey love. Hey Jake. Been a while since we've sent a disc, I know. Things have been a bit hectic though. Seems like something might be coming down soon.\" Chris heard Jake sigh heavily beside him, but continued to watch the vid. \"Well, the hyena came back a few weeks ago. He's been a bit rough around the edges, but most of the time he's covering it up pretty well. He's really leaning on Sasha, it seems. She'll probably tell you more about that, though. I had her make a recording on the same disc as mine, since I'm not putting anything too private on here.\" The bull chuckled. \"Anyway, Chris. I wanted to say that I really miss you. I've been doing a lot of thinking since Lance Corporal Bolden's death. Well, I saw what it did to Greenley. Honestly, it reminded me of you twelve years ago. I know I said that I wanted to stay in the fight and all, but all this got me to thinking. Next year, my current contract will be up. I want to be with you more. I know that me being gone is troublesome to you. Hell, it hurts me too. I don't want to be away anymore.\" Chris sat up and tried to fight back the tears that for some reason were welling up in his eyes. \"I still don't know if I want to stay in the military and get a garrison job out there, or just leave it all and become a civilian. All I know is I want to fall asleep with you again. I want to wake up with you. Like when we first got married. Leave just isn't enough for me anymore. I guess it's about time I made some sacrifices to be together. In hindsight, it seems I was a bit selfish on that part, and I'm extremely sorry. I don't want to force you to go through losing a loved one again. I've been lucky so far, but, well... Luck can only last so long. I can only hope that it lasts me long enough to see you once more. Well, that's really all I wanted to say.\" Jerry sighed, \"I love you very much, Chris. With all my heart.\"\n\nChris paused the video right after the bull's face blinked out. He wiped the tears from his eyes that persisted through all his efforts of holding them in. He was finally going to have his lover with him again. He would have given anything for this. He had always supported Jerry in going back in the infantry, but deep down, he had always rued the days he left. He knew Jerry saw that. Chris didn't want to impede the bull's career, or stand in the way of what he wanted to do. He was overjoyed to hear that Jerry finally felt the same. Chris looked back at Jake, patiently waiting for him to continue the vid.\n\n\"Oh, sorry. I just needed to collect myself, I guess.\" Chris apologized.\n\nJake put his arm around the panther. \"No problem Chris. It's great news. You need him back, I can tell. You're never much without your better half. Especially with you in retirement doing nothing.\"\n\nChris chuckled. He was right. Without anything to do really, Chris had usually just been watching Jerry's vids over and over. It was pathetic, honestly. Chris turned back to the vid player, and resumed the recording.\n\nAfter a couple seconds of blank screen, Sasha appeared. \"Hey dad, Uncle Chris. There's been a few recent developments since my last vid to ya. For one, Jeff came back. I was so happy to see him again. He seemed to be quite happy to be back, and feeling much better. I guess the counseling or whatever he went to worked. He still sometimes cries at night, but at least he's able to function. I know it'll take a long time for him to get over it all, and even then, he'll never fully get over it. But it sucks having to watch a good friend hurt like that. I guess that's how it was with you and Uncle Chris back then. I don't really remember too much when it first happened. Anyway, on a much lighter note, I now officially have a boyfriend.\" Jake shot up in his seat in shock, and Chris just had to laugh at the reaction. Jake could never get used to the idea of Sasha with boys. \"You actually met him before. Well, you didn't meet him per se, but I showed him to you on many a vid. It's Jester actually. I guess we started growing really close over the past while, and it actually took Jeff to get us to both realize that we had feelings for each other. Don't worry, dad, he really is a great guy. Jeff wouldn't let me date a jerk. Things seem to be getting busy around here, but you know, they won't tell us until we go. I don't even think a lot of the officers know, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I gotta sign off now. I promised Jeff and Jester that I'd go eat with them, and I think they already left. Love you both! Bye.\"\n\nWith that the vid ended. Chris looked over to Jake, who still seemed a little shocked.\n\n\"Hey, you knew this was bound to happen. Unless they're lesbians, they always hook up with a guy they work with.\" Chris chuckled. \"Anyway, as much as we've heard about this Jester, he seems like a nice enough guy. I for one trust Sasha's judgment of character.\"\n\nJake shook his head, but eventually nodded. \"Yeah, it was bound to happen, alright. Just blindsided me is all. I know she wouldn't make a stupid decision like dating the wrong guy.\"\n\nChris nodded. \"So, what happened today to get you all flustered?\"\n\nJake sighed. \"I really shouldn't be telling you this, but...\" Jake put his face in his paws, slightly muffling his voice. \"It's not official quite yet, but there is heavy talk about going back to Kaldraga.\"\n\nChris shot up from his seat on the couch, eyes wide. \"What!? Going back? What the fuck! It'll be another massacre!\"\n\n\"Don't tell me something I don't know. I argued the same point to just about everyone, but they're saying it'll be different this time. I don't know how, exactly, but they believe it. I swear, you'd think they'd learn from past mistakes.\"\n\n\"Kaldraga was the number one regret I ever had in my time as Commander of Troops. Hell, probably in my whole life. I've said this publicly many times. It's fucking crazy to just send them back there twelve years later. If anything has changed, they're more fortified over there, not less.\"\n\n\"I know, I know. There's nothing I can do about this one. General Krynoth is unshakeable on this. It may not be official, but I know it will be, and soon. Maybe... Maybe they won't send Sasha and Jerry.\"\n\nChris felt tears of rage forming as his mind processed it all. \"No. They'll send them. They'll send them for the same reason I sent you. They're one of the best ground units in the military. Krynoth... The fucking idiot. He'll send them to their deaths.\" Chris dropped to his knees. \"I can't lose Jerry. I won't make it through another husband.\" He started to cry. Over his own sobs he heard Jake sniff back tears as well. Jake was always stronger than he, but this seemed to be too much even for the tiger. \"Why? Why is this happening? Right after he said he wanted to leave it all and be with me. Why?\" It was the only thing Chris could think about. Losing another loved one. Something dropped deep in his gut, as if he had just heard that Jerry had already died. It was a mistake. He wished they would see that, but he knew that the decision was already made. He knew the lives of countless soldiers, including his husband and niece, had already been written off.\n\n\\ \\* \\* \\\n\n\"Shit.\" Jerry growled under his breath as he read the documents sent to him from Command. He had wondered why Chris seemed so upset in his last vid. He must have known. It seemed his luck had run out. He carefully scanned through the details of the mission ahead. It seemed suicidal, they didn't even send Black Ops soldiers to Kaldraga, and now they weren't just going to augment the coming fight, they were going to be among the first to get there. Jerry picked up the small vid capture sitting on his desk and thought about what he could say, if anything. Chris knew just as well as he did how likely it was that he was coming home from this one. There was nothing he could think of that could calm the panther's nerves this time. He wished he would have made the decision to be with Chris earlier. He wanted to see his panther one more time. To hold him, kiss him. Jerry choked back the tears that formed in his eyes as he pressed the record button on the capture. Looking directly into the lens, he paused for a moment to gather what to say.\n\n\"Whatever happens, I love you Chris.\" A few rogue tears found themselves running down his face as he thought about his older lover and what was to come of him. His life would be over, as far as he would see. Jerry knew there was no way he would be able to get over losing another lover. He hated that he waited so long to see this, and hated what he forced himself to do to his mate. He stared into the lens, and imagined that the lens was his lover's eye; imagined the panther sitting there in front of him. \"I love you.\"\n\nHe stopped the recording and removed the small disc from the capture. He slipped it into a small envelope and wrote Chris' name and address on the front. This was likely to be the last thing that Chris ever heard from him. After sealing the envelope, he wiped his eyes and tried to center himself. There was no way that he could face the platoon like this, they'd all give up hope, and then it really would be a suicide mission. All he could do now is try his hardest and get them to try their hardest. No matter what, though, he knew the death toll would be astronomical. He took a couple deep breaths and stood up from his desk to walk toward the door to the squad bay, pausing only to drop the envelope in the mail bin by his door. Pausing at the squad bay, he took another deep breath and walked in.\n\n\"Gather 'round!\" He yelled, ensuring everyone in the bay had heard him. He guessed the soldiers sensed the urgency in his voice; it took them less time to gather than it normally did. Conversations stopped, card games were abandoned. Maybe they sensed that something was about to happen, and were curious as to what it was. \"Is anyone missing? No? Alright.\"\n\n\"We've been given a mission. It's a big one this time.\" Jerry chuckled under his breath, \"actually that's an understatement. It's Kaldraga.\" Jerry watched the soldiers' faces as they paled, eyes widened. Everyone knew how dangerous it would be. It almost seemed to Jerry as if he had told each one of them that they were going to die, and soon. \"I'm going to give you a short overview of what's going to happen. None of this is to be spoken of outside this squad bay. We will be going with the first wave. They have some new kind of weapon that will knock out the orbital defenses in a small area of the planet. We'll be landing about three clicks from a small base there. The mission is to wipe out any enemy resistance, and secure a perimeter so that the Federation can have a foothold on the planet. Now, we will be going in among the first, but we will be receiving reinforcements and a heavy number of medevac ships the day after we land. So there you have it. We have one day and one night to clear out as much resistance as possible before the reinforcements arrive. Command wants at least a ninety percent secure status before those ships get there. We'll be arriving on some new drop ships that they claim have better stealth capability than we've ever had before, so the element of surprise should still be ours. Now, even though this is a small base, they are expecting extremely heavy resistance. I know we can succeed at this, we're the best they've got, but I'm not going to lie to you. Many of you will not be coming back from this. It would be foolish of me to think that we'd luck out and all come home. That being said, if you have anything that you want to say to your families, do it now. I will make sure that any mail gets to your families as quick as possible. We leave tomorrow, so prepare full combat gear. Don't skirt on anything, you'll need it all.\" With that he walked away, leaving the platoon still in shock. Some stood there, unsure what just happened, or still processing. Others started to run to their captures or letters to hurry and say what they needed to say to their loved ones. He felt his emotions turn to anger as he silently cursed the command for what they were doing to these kids. Most of them were in their early twenties, some still in their late teens. Command was sending most of them to their deaths, perhaps including his niece, and now he hated them for it.\n\n\\ \\* \\* \\\n\nSasha sat between Jeff and Jester on the drop ship heading toward Kaldraga. Everyone was nervous this time, even the seasoned ones. Her uncle didn't sugar coat anything, and everyone knew that there was a good chance they weren't coming home, but the bull made sure that even though they were staring at death in the eye, they would go out charging. Sasha was terrified herself. She had never had to face her mortality this way. She wondered if she would get to see her mother again, and her uncle Jeremy. Jester seemed to have similar thoughts going through his head, but when she looked at Jeff, he didn't seem scared at all. It was almost like he wanted to die, to see Scotty again. She knew that was foolish, he was sad, yes, but not suicidal. She glanced over to her uncle in the front of the cabin. He had been sitting there staring at a picture of her uncle Chris the whole ride. She had never seen him so sad. She could tell right then how much he really did love that panther. Most days, she just took it as a fact of life, like how most young children \"know\" that their parents love each other, but she could see it on his face now. She saw how much love was really there. All of his outward toughness seemed as if it had melted away, and all that was left was the tenderness that she knew as a child. She wondered if anyone else on the ship saw that, and if they did, what they were thinking about it. It had been two hours in hyperdrive already. They should be arriving soon. She hoped the weapon to knock out the orbital defenses and this new stealth technology worked. She didn't want to die. Not yet. Not after she found someone to love. She looked up to Jester and took his hand. He took hers as well. Holding her hand tight, he looked into his eyes. She could see what he felt through her eyes. He was scared. She never thought someone like Jester could get scared, but in his eyes it was as plain as day.\n\n\"Sniper, Jester.\" Jeff called from the other side of her. \"I want to give you two something.\" Sasha turned to face the hyena, and Jester leaned forward so he could see him as well. \"Remember that one picture we took a while back? Before Karl died?\" Sasha tried to remember, they had taken a lot of pictures of each other over the time she had been there. Quick friends indeed. \"Well, doesn't matter if you remember it, but I found it the other day and made copies for both of you.\" Jeff reached into his front pocket and pulled out three small wallet-sized photos. Keeping one for himself, he handed the other two to Sasha. She looked at them, and almost cried. It was the four of them: Sasha, Jester, Jeff, and Scotty, arms around each other. She didn't remember exactly when it was taken, but it was very soon after she arrived. Sasha handed the other to Jester, and when he looked at it, he let out a short chuckle in remembrance. \"I thought,\" Jeff continued, \"that it would be a good keepsake to have. You know, in case we don't all make it back. Something to remember each other by.\"\n\nSasha smiled at Jeff. \"Thank you. It's great. I'll keep it with me always.\" She was telling the truth. There was something about the picture that was calming, seeing the four of them together like that. Just by looking at it she could have sworn she felt Scotty somewhere, looking at them. Watching over them. It was a good feeling, and it helped to calm her down.\n\n\"Thanks, Jeff.\" Jester replied, staring at the picture. \"We'll see him again one day. One day we'll all be reunited.\" He paused for a moment before continuing. \"Maybe today.\"\n\nThe rest of the ride was spent in silence. Sasha didn't quite know how long it was until she felt the ship come out of hyperdrive. She spent the whole time staring at the picture that Jeff had given them. The distinct shaking of the ship seemed to signal everyone that they were close. Everyone seemed to look up from whatever they were doing, and the tension in the cabin was almost palpable. They started to feel the ship shake as it started to breach the Kaldraga atmosphere. The weapon for the orbital defenses must have worked, or they would already be dead. She gripped onto Jester's hand tight, and he responded in like, holding hers even tighter, it seemed.\n\n\"Sasha, I love you.\" Jester said. She looked at him, shocked. They had only been a couple for a couple weeks, it seemed so soon. However, when she looked in his eyes, she knew he meant it.\n\n\"I love you too.\" She replied, shocked at how natural and right it felt saying it to him. She cleared her throat and looked at her uncle. He had put the picture back in his pocket and was looking at her. He nodded slightly toward her. She knew it was his way of silently telling her he loved her as well, and saw in his eyes that he was going to try to get her back home. It felt good to have someone like him watching over her. She knew that if anyone could succeed in keeping her safe, it would be him. She put her own picture into her front pocket, and adjusted her gear in preparation for the landing. She saw her uncle stand up after they passed through the atmosphere.\n\n\"Alright, listen up! When we get off this boat, we'll be three clicks from the base. We need to cover that distance quickly. I've been told that this new stealth technology can hide the ship's entry in the atmosphere, but let's go ahead and assume that they know we're here. Once we get to the base, kill everything that moves. I don't give a damn if they look like a civilian. I'm not taking that risk. Keep your dispersion once we exit, and stay with your squads. Once the shit hits, I want everyone to work together and push through. SpecOps has a team that will be cutting the power to the area. Once night hits, we'll make a perimeter and take shifts in the fight. The rebels aren't known for fighting at night, so we should be able to pull that one off and get some rest for the second day. Remember - the reinforcements won't be here until midday tomorrow. So until then, we're on our own. No medevacs. Therefore, if you see one of your brothers or sisters take a hit out there, render first aid. If there's nothing you can do, give them some painkillers and push on. Alright, let's do this shit, and go out with a bang!\"\n\nAlmost on cue, the drop ship landed and the bay doors opened, letting in the sun that seemed blinding after hours on the ship. Everyone hurried to undo their harnesses and stand up. They filed out of the ship quickly and found themselves on an open field with the base barely visible in front of them. Sasha glanced back at the drop ship and was shocked to notice that she couldn't see it. This new stealth technology was amazing. She found herself wondering if the rebels saw them at all.\n\nThe field was probably the only conceivable place to land, but it seemed to Sasha like a death trap. The only warning they would have of the enemy would to have one of them killed. The other platoons filed out of the drop ship until the last of the soldiers were out. They then started their advance to the base. The pace was quite grueling to Sasha, it was more of a light jog than a walk, and with all the combat gear it felt like they were all-out sprinting. Nobody said a word as the base slowly came into better view. At that pace, three clicks went by quickly. Before she knew it, they were all crouched down in the tall grass that seemed to have grown forgotten by the maintainers. Lucky for them, it seemed. As they crept toward the back gate, she could hear laughing coming from the guardhouse. It was time to start.\n\nSasha watched her uncle as he motioned one of the soldiers to start the radio scramble. It would surely alert the rebels in the base, but they wouldn't be able to communicate outside, which was crucial. Only a few seconds passed after the soldier flipped the switch on the device until sirens began to go off around the base.\n\n\"Go, go, go!\" Her uncle yelled as they rushed through the gate and took positions of cover. Once she got past the gate Sasha noticed that this \"base\" was more like a small town. A hail of blaster fire commenced as she slammed herself against one of the low buildings. The guards started pouring out and they picked them off one by one. Flashes of light whizzed by her. She took one deep breath and popped her rifle out from behind the wall. There were so many of them! She opened fire. She watched as her and others' blaster fire thinned the numbers, but it wasn't enough. The rebels started taking cover behind the buildings as well. She reached on her vest and grabbed a grenade.\n\n\"Frag out!\" She yelled, pulling the pin and tossing it into one of the buildings holding the rebel troops. Returning back to her cover behind the building, she heard the explosion and noticed Jester standing right next to her.\n\n\"Nice toss, Sniper. Had to be four or five guys there.\" He smiled.\n\n\"Thanks, but that won't cut it.\" Sasha noticed her uncle waving at them to advance. \"Let's go!\" She ducked out from the wall and ran at the building up and across the street. Firing the whole time, she heard Jester keeping close behind her. He slammed against the wall next to her and panted.\n\n\"Alright, we need to get rid of these guys.\" He said, looking around. \"Hulk!\" he yelled looking at the position they were just at, where the huge wolf was crouching. \"Get that rocket in there, man!\"\n\n\"I don't got a good shot from here!\" The wolf yelled back.\n\n\"Well get your ass over here! Perfect line of sight here!\" Jester yelled back. Hulk stood up and ran toward them as Jester provided cover fire. Hulk was only a few feet away from them when Sasha heard the distinct THUNK!* of a grenade launcher. The explosion was deafening. Sasha didn't see where it hit, and she was dazed. The ringing in her ears was deafening. She saw Jester run out in the cloud of dust from the grenade. As her hearing slowly came back to her, she once again heard the heavy blaster fire around them. She saw Jester emerge from the cloud of dust, dragging Hulk behind him. Once he got behind the wall, he looked at the wolf.\n\n\"Hulk! Oh fucking Christ!\" He said as he looked over the wolf. The shrapnel from the blast made minced meat out of his left leg, and his neck was gushing. As Sasha's hearing continued to clear up, she started to be able to make out the sickening gurgling the wolf was making as he choked on his own blood. His head was moving wildly, eyes wide and full of pain. It was like a train wreck in front of her. She couldn't look away no matter how much she wanted to. She watched for the few short seconds it took for the wolf's breathing to stop and his eyes to glaze over. She watched as the gushing in his neck slowed as the blood flow in his body stopped.\n\n\"Sniper! Sniper!\" Jester reached over to shake Sasha, \"Sasha!\" She snapped away from the wolf's body and looked at the fox shaking her. \"He's dead. There's nothing we can do. Come on, we have to push forward.\"\n\n\"Hey guys!\" Another voice said, \"We're advancing on the sides. Shit, Hulk!\"\n\nSasha turned to see Jeff standing there, looking at the fallen wolf, then back at her.\n\n\"Come on, we're making progress on the side alleys. We should be able to flank the majority of them.\"\n\nJester stood up and helped Sasha to her feet. She couldn't stop looking back at Hulk's body. She thought she would be able to deal with the death more after Scotty, but Hulk's death was horrifying. She tried to calm herself, and get back to the task at hand as she followed Jester and Jeff. She noticed that during the incident with Hulk, they managed to make quite a bit of headway advancing on the alleys. She followed them as they emerged behind the initial rebel lines and opened fire, catching them off guard and killing them one by one.\n\nThe rest of the short time before nightfall was a blur to Sasha. It was like her body was doing everything without anything going to the brain to register. They had been on the ground for three hours before it started to get dark, but to Sasha, it felt more like twenty minutes. They had cleared out a good number of the rebel troops before they retreated into the buildings on the north side of the base. They were making progress, at least. Ghost ordered 1st platoon to take up positions in the buildings halfway between the front line of Federation troops and the back gate that they entered through. They would be the first ones to rest the night, assuming the rebels really didn't fight during the night. First squad was put in a small room with windows facing the north side. Once the three of them got in, Sasha collapsed against the wall. As the adrenaline lowered, she realized how sore and tired she was, but she couldn't sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Hulk dying.\n\n\"Hey, Sasha, you alright?\" Jeff asked, setting his gear down in the opposite corner.\n\n\"Yeah... No, I don't think I am. Every time I close my eyes, I see Hulk.\" Jester sat down next to her and put an arm around her shoulders.\n\n\"I know, Sasha, it's hard.\" The fox said in almost a whisper. \"It gets pretty gruesome out there. I remember when I first saw hard battle. There was this one chick, Raven, I think her name was. I watched her get hit by a mortar. Half of her body went one way, the other half went another. Took months for me to stop having the nightmares, but I can still see it now, like it was yesterday.\" He held her close to his body, and she could hear his heart beat. For some reason, she loved the sound. She was hearing life itself, amidst all the death of the day. There was still life. She reached her hand up and put it against her own breast, feeling her own heart beat. It was comforting.\n\n\"Michael-\" She cut herself off. No one ever used Jester's real name, not even her. She had no idea what came over her to use it.\n\n\"Yes?\" He asked, looking down at her. He didn't seem surprised at all by the use of his real name.\n\nSasha looked up at him, into his eyes. Then something rushed over her, and she pulled him into a deep kiss. She didn't know what was coming over her, but she felt that he was getting the same feeling. They stayed locked in the kiss as Sasha's body took over for her mind once more, and began undoing his clothes. Their breaths picked up through their noses as they undressed each other, each breath more labored and deep than the last.\n\nJeff looked away. He knew exactly what was happening. The first time he and Scotty went to combat as a couple, they made love as well. In combat, sex was life-affirming, therapeutic. It reminded you that you were, in fact, alive. He didn't mind that the fox and tiger were doing it right in front of him. He knew it would ultimately help Sasha, and he knew that she needed that. He stared out the windows on the far side of the room, looking to the black sky devoid of artificial light, and waited for the next day to come.\n\n\\* \\* \\* \\\n\nSasha woke to someone shaking her. Eyes adjusting to being awake again, she looked over and saw that it was Jeff hovering over her with a hand on her shoulder.\n\n\"Hey, time to wake up. Sun's coming up soon.\"\n\nShe sat up, only then realizing that she was only half dressed - if that. Startled she pulled uniform on quickly. She looked over at the fox next to her, who was also slowly coming back to consciousness. She remembered now what had happened the night before. She remembered how good it felt. It felt like much more than just sex, there was something else, but she couldn't place it. She felt her face heat up as she looked back to Jeff, who had resumed sitting on the opposite side. He just smiled and nodded toward her.\n\n\"It's alright. It happens much more than you think. Happened to me and Scotty our first mission together.\" He chuckled.\n\nJester sat up next to her and started to rush through putting his uniform on as well. Sasha looked at him and smiled. She was glad it happened, she no longer felt the fear and dread that she did earlier that night. She leaned toward the fox, and stopped his progress in getting dressed by claiming his mouth with a deep, passionate kiss. At first he seemed startled, but he eventually pressed his muzzle into hers, intensifying the kiss.\n\n\"Morning.\" Sasha smiled after they broke the kiss. Jester smiled back at her, full of warmth.\n\n\"Morning.\" He replied, his voice cracking like it always did before he was fully awake. The sound brought a chuckle to Sasha, she could definitely get used to waking up with him.\n\nSasha heard Jeff chuckling behind her, \"Get dressed, you two. Save the pillow talk for when you actually have* a pillow.\"\n\nJester must not have noticed that Jeff was in the room. His eyes went wide and a look of sheer embarrassment covered his face when he heard the hyena's voice. Sasha laughed while she finished getting all of her gear on.\n\n\"Alright, sun will be coming up in a few minutes. We're going to stay in here until Ghost gives the command to head back out. 2nd Platoon has a couple of scouts out observing the rebels, so just hang tight and keep alert.\" Jeff said once the two were done with their gear.\n\nSasha waited impatiently in the quiet room. She wasn't impatient for the action to begin, that could be delayed indefinitely for all she cared. She was impatient for the reinforcements to come, and to be able to get out of there. As much as the previous night's events served to calm her down quite a bit, once she was fully awake, the awareness of her surroundings sank in and with it, the sense of dread.\n\nIt seemed that the moment light began to creep over the horizon, the shots started. At first, it was somewhat distant, concentrated mostly in the buildings north of them, but more and more joined, adding to the sounds. They waited. Ghost had not yet given the command to leave the building, so the three posted near the windows, looking through the scopes on their blasters. The fighting seemed to be picking up rapidly, but none of them saw any rebel soldiers.\n\n\"Shit. MOVE!\" Jester called, pulling at Sasha's arm, dragging her away from the window. Jeff looked up and got up to follow when the rocket hit. The rocket hit slightly above the window, shattering the glass, and sent a tremor through the building that knocked Sasha to the floor. She grabbed a hold of Jester's arm again, who was still standing, and looked around for Jeff. Once the dust cleared, she saw the hyena. He was pinned under a giant slab of concrete from the ceiling, groaning. They rushed to him. The slab covered all the way from his feet to his ribs, and seemed more than two feet thick. Sasha could tell he was seriously injured by his labored breaths and groans.\n\n\"Sniper, help me get this off him!\" Jester yelled, moving to the hyena's right side. Sasha gripped the bottom of the slab opposite Jester. \"One, two, three!\" They both strained to lift the slab, but it didn't budge.\n\n\"Stop, stop.\" Jeff groaned. Sasha looked to see that he was coughing blood. She ran to him and wiped his mouth.\n\n\"We'll get you out of here, Jeff. We're going to get some help.\" She said, hovering over his head.\n\nThe hyena's head shook. \"No, no. It's-It's useless. I'm fucked, get the hell out of here.\" His voice was raspy through the blood filling his throat as he coughed up more and more. Sasha's eyes began to tear up as she tried to think of any way to help him. \"It's ok, Sasha. I'll... I'll get to see Scotty again.\"\n\n\"No! We'll get you out of here! You're not going to die!\" Sasha was sobbing. Jeff had been there with her this whole time, and now he was dying. It wasn't fair. Why was it always the ones she cared about?\n\n\"Go.\" Jeff repeated, barely in a whisper, \"Get the fuck out of-\" His voice stopped as Sasha heard his breath leave his body for the last time. She could barely see through her tears. She started to think once again that she wouldn't make it out of here, or maybe that she didn't want to any more.\n\n\"Come on, he's dead, Sasha. This building's a death trap, we need to get out now!\"\n\nSasha looked up at the fox, and saw that he too had been crying. Of course. Jeff had been his best friend for years. But the tears never blurred his judgment, and he was right. They needed to get out of the building. Sasha wiped the tears away and stood up, grabbing her blaster, and ran through the hall, down the stairs, and out of the building.\n\n\"Sniper! Jester!\" Sasha turned to see her uncle running toward them. \"Thank God, I didn't see that one coming.\" He panted catching his breath. \"Where's Chuckles?\"\n\nSasha froze. She couldn't muster the words. Jeff looked straight at the bull and shook his head.\n\n\"Goddamnit.\" The bull looked up at the building they came out of and sighed. \"Anyway, the reinforcements will be coming earlier than expected. They may even have some air support coming with them, but we'll see. We need to hold the lines we have now, and the heat is starting to pick up quick. I need you two to get there and send that heat back. Let's go!\"\n\nHer uncle took off, she and Jester followed close behind. They ran up behind the wall of what seemed like an unfinished building. The four sides were uneven in height, and at the highest parts, only came up to Sasha's waist. They ducked behind it, popping up to take their shots at the enemy ahead. They slowly made their way across the south side of the building toward the main street. Once at the corner, her uncle turned to them.\n\n\"We'll cross here, one by one. We'll meet up with 2nd Platoon behind that building.\" He pointed at the building across the street, where she could see three solders taking cover behind the wall. \"They need more soldiers on the alley there. I'll go first. Jester, cover fire.\"\n\nWith that, the bull stood up to run across as Jester stepped to the side of the corner, laying down a steady stream of fire. Sasha watched as her uncle ran across. She watched as the blaster fire flew past him, until he suddenly collapsed. His left leg buckled as a stream of light went through it, and while he fell she saw the light of blaster fire hit him in the chest. She froze as she watched a soldier come out from behind the building across the street and drag him back.\n\n\"Sniper, cover for me!\" Jester yelled as she was snapped back from her frozen state. She grabbed her rifle and took Jester's place as he stood up. As soon as he did, she heard the whizz of a close shot in her ear and heard the sound of ripping flesh as it bit into Jester's calf. The fox fell to the ground. Sasha ran over to him and grabbed his arm.\n\n\"Come on, get up, I can't lift you!\" She yelled. He lifted his good leg up and set his foot on the ground to try to push up. He kept his face forward, Sasha could tell that he was looking at something. All of the sudden, his eyes went wide. He looked at Sasha, and in that short instant, she saw a deep sadness. She looked toward the enemy lines as he shoved her, sending her careening over the unfinished wall, and she caught a glance of the rocket launcher pointed right at him. Falling over the wall, her right sleeve snagged at the shoulder, twisting her body as it hit the ground, and her right arm stuck over the unfinished wall. Time seemed to slow down as she heard the soft sound of the rocket in flight. It seemed like minutes before it was followed by a loud explosion. Minutes during which she couldn't move. She felt a sharp pain spread across her right arm, a pain more intense than she had ever felt. She screamed as the pain grew and grew. Her sight began to darken. Her head swam in pain and disorientation as the darkness spread, and her consciousness slipped.\n\n\\* \\* \\* \\\n\nChris shook with anxiety as the small shuttle began its landing at the forward base on Cyrenia. The day before, he and Jake received notice that Jerry and Sasha had been injured, and were admitted into the base hospital. They had to wait a full day before a shuttle was able to take them. Chris couldn't help but worry that something could have gone wrong, and one - or both - of them could have already passed. The shuttle ride was a grueling wait that seemed to last for days. Chris couldn't sit still. Jake, however, was a stone in his seat, and had been that way the entire trip. He knew he was just as worried, but the fear of the worst froze him. He did nothing but stare straight ahead. When the shuttle's doors opened, however, everything changed. Chris could hardly keep up with him as they quickly made their way through to the medical wing. Jake didn't slow until they reached the nurses' station.\n\n\"We're looking for two patients of yours.\" Jake said to the nurse at the desk. \"Lieutenant Jerry Haldman is one. I'm his brother-in-law, this is his husband. The other is my daughter, Private Sasha Kearny.\" The nurse grabbed a clipboard and flipped through the pages, scanning for the names.\n\n\"Please sign in here.\" She nodded at the clipboard on the top of the desk as she flipped through the pages. He and Jake quickly signed and wait. \"Ah, here they are. Lieutenant Haldman is in room 122. It's right down this hallway toward the end. Private Kearny is in room 140, which is just around the corner from there.\"\n\n\"Thank you.\" Jake said before the two took off again, rushing toward the rooms. \"Let's see Jerry first, he's the closest.\" Chris just nodded in acquiescence as they approached the room. They slowed, looking at each number until they saw number 122.\n\n\"Here.\" Chris said as he opened the door. The room was empty. He looked around. \"Where-\" The bathroom door was open, showing that it was empty, but the bed sheets looked used and rumpled.\n\n\"Sasha's room.\" Jake said. It would be just like Jerry to leave a hospital room, he was quite the stubborn bull. They hurried to the corner, and when they turned it, Chris saw him, sitting in a wheelchair, facing the glass wall to one of the ICU rooms.\n\n\"Jerry!\" Chris shouted and started to sprint toward the bull. Jerry turned his chair to face them, a wide grin on his face, and upon nearing him, Chris saw tears in his eyes. Chris rushed in and hugged him.\n\n\"Woah! Woah! Not too tight, now, hon.\" Jerry said as he returned the hug with one arm. His right arm was in a sling, and his left leg was in a full cast.\n\n\"What the hell happened to you?\" Chris asked, looking the bull over.\n\n\"Babe, it's nothing.\" He chuckled in response. \"Took two blaster hits. One went straight through my knee, the other in near the shoulder. It looks worse than it is. They just don't want me to move them much. It did hurt like hell, however. These painkillers they give us are delicious.\"\n\nChris felt tears starting to sting his eyes. \"I thought I'd never see you again. He said, putting his hand on the bull's shoulder.\"\n\nJerry's smile faded. \"Yeah. Honestly, I thought that too. I guess my luck hasn't run out quite yet, and I don't intend to push it anymore. They said that even with the reconstructive surgery on my knee, I'll never walk the same. The only way to be combat effective again is to amputate above the knee and get one of those robotic prosthetics. Luckily that's still an optional operation, and I opted against it. So you're stuck with me. Actually, speaking of which, Jake, I'm sure you'd like to know how Sasha's doing.\" He looked to Jake, who had been standing behind Chris.\n\n\"Yeah, how is she?\" He said, a little calmer now.\n\n\"She's... Heavily sedated. We can't go in there now, hence why the blinds are closed. They're running some tests.\" Jerry sighed and adjusted himself in the wheelchair before continuing. \"She took shrapnel and debris from a rocket explosion. It all hit her left arm. It had to be amputated.\" Chris saw Jakes face tighten and his eyes close as tears fought their way through. \"She'll be alright, though. She's even luckier than me to be alive. All because of Jester.\"\n\n\"The fox in the vids?\" Jake asked, his face showing curiosity now.\n\nJerry nodded, \"Yeah. I'm sure you heard, but they were an item. Right after I got hit both times, I got drug behind a wall. They were across the street, and trying to get to where I was. He got hit in the leg. She was trying to help him up and get him to safety when I guess he saw the launcher or something, and he shoved her over an unfinished building wall. The rocket went right for where they were. He took an almost direct hit from it. Barely anything left.\" Jerry was shaking his head and looking at the ground. Chris could tell that it was tough for the bull. He wished he could take that trouble away.\n\nChris swallowed the knot that had formed in his throat. \"Did anyone else make it out?\"\n\nJerry sighed once more. \"From the other platoons, they had a few come out. I'm not sure the numbers. But Sasha and I are the only 1st platoon soldiers that made it out. We lost a lot of good ones. A lot.\"\n\nChris jerked his head up when he heard the door to Sasha's room open. A petite female mouse stepped out, and looked instantly at Jerry.\n\n\"Lieutenant Haldman! You're not supposed to leave your room!\"\n\nJerry wheeled around to face her. \"Look, nurse. I've told you. That tiger you got in there is my niece. She's kinda missing an arm if you haven't noticed. I'm already patched up, and I've been shot before, I think I can handle it. That girl in there has never known injury that great. I'm not going to be leaving her.\"\n\nChris put a hand on Jerry's solder. \"I'll make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. I would, however, suggest giving up on this argument. He's stubborn as hell.\"\n\nThe mouse considered Chris for a moment. \"Are you the husband, then?\"\n\n\"Yes\"\n\n\"Alright, just make sure he doesn't move his arm or leg around too much.\"\n\n\"Move my leg? How the hell do you think I could manage that? I got a hundred pounds of plaster on the bitch, it ain't goin' anywhere.\" Chris shook his head. Jerry could be a real pain sometimes.\n\nThe mouse looked up at Jake, \"Are you the father?\"\n\nJake nodded, \"Yes, I am.\"\n\nI'm sure Lieutenant Haldman has filled you in on the extent of the injury. She's heavily sedated right now. She really freaked out when she realized she was missing an arm, which is quite understandable. You can go in now; she should be waking up soon. There is one thing I think you should know, and maybe you could tell her.\"\n\n\"What's that?\" Jake asked, looking somewhat confused.\n\n\"Well, there are a certain number of tests we do on females before we administer the heavy drugs. One of these tests displayed slightly elevated hormonal balances. Upon further testing, we found that she is pregnant.\"\n\nChris' eyes went wide, mirroring Jake's and Jerry's.\n\n\"What?\" Jake asked, bewildered. \"When could it have happened?\"\n\n\"Anywhere between two and four days.\"\n\n\"That night.\" Jerry whispered. He must have felt Chris and Jake's eyes, because he turned around to face them again. \"The first night after we got to Kaldraga. It had to be then. I was checking on everyone, they were sleeping together. In the low light, I couldn't be sure, but their clothes seemed quite disheveled.\" Jerry glanced between the two. \"It's actually not that uncommon. They say that around all that death, sex it quite therapeutic and makes you feel alive.\" Jerry wheeled his chair around and entered the room. Chris and Jake followed. Chris wondered what they were in for as they walked in the room.\n\nThe first thing Chris really noticed when he entered the room was all the medical equipment. I.V.s, heart monitors, countless other things tubed and wired to Sasha. It was a harrowing sight. Chris glanced over at Jake and saw the tiger's eyes tear up instantly at the sight. No parent should ever have to see their child like this. He saw how just the sight of her pained Jake, even though he was happy she was alive.\n\nChris stood next to Jerry on the left side of the bed. Jake moved to the right, on the side of her missing arm. Chris watched as his brother-in-law looked at Sasha, and saw sadness and pain in the tiger's eyes. Jake reached his hand up and put it on Sasha's head. The young tiger shifted and started to open her eyes. She looked around the room, finally focusing on Jake.\n\n\"Daddy?\" Her voice seemed tired and strained.\n\n\"I'm here, baby.\" He replied, almost choking on his tears.\n\n\"I'm sorry.\"\n\n\"No. No, honey. You're okay. It's not your fault. You're alive, that's all that matters.\" He strained a smile at her. The sight made Chris start to tear up as well. He reached out and took the bull's hand in his. Jerry looked over at him and squeezed his hand.\n\nSasha turned over to look at Chris, \"Uncle Chris.\" She smiled. She was starting to wake up more. \"Uncle Jerry did good.\" All Chris could do to keep himself from crying was smile back.\n\n\"You did more than good yourself, Sasha.\" Jerry responded, taking over for Chris. \"You were extremely brave. I couldn't have asked for more.\"\n\nSasha looked over at Jerry and smiled wider. Behind the sadness and pain, Chris could tell that she was proud of herself, and the compliment that his mate just paid her. \"Thank you. Um... I think I know the answer already, but... Jester?\"\n\nJerry looked into Sasha's eyes, his face giving away his sadness. He shook his head, \"I'm sorry, Sasha. He's gone.\"\n\nSasha just nodded her head, having already known. \"He saved me.\"\n\n\"Yes.\" Jerry said, \"He was the hero of the day.\"\n\n\"Actually,\" Jake interrupted, \"that brings me to another thing.\" Sasha looked at her father again. \"The nurse, she talked to us outside, and, well... It seems that you're pregnant.\"\n\nSasha's eyes went wide, and her intact arm went straight to her belly. \"Pregnant?\" She whispered. Tears started to show in her eyes as she rubbed her stomach.\n\n\"We think it happened that night with Jester.\" Jerry said. Sasha nodded.\n\n\"It's his, yes.\" She looked into Jakes eyes. \"Are you mad?\"\n\nJake was shocked at the question, \"No, no. It's your choice, after all. Like I said, I'm just happy you're alive.\" He smiled at her.\n\n\"I want to keep it.\" She said, without even being asked. \"Is that okay?\"\n\n\"Yes, Sasha.\" Jake replied, \"We'll even help you. I'd be proud to help raise the child of the man who saved my daughter's life.\"\n\nSasha smiled. \"I love you, daddy.\"\n\nJake sniffed back the tears, leaned in and kissed Sasha on the forehead. \"I love you too.\"\n\n\\ \\* \\* \\\n\nJerry settled in the hotel room bed next to Chris. The doctors had discharged him until they were able to give him the reconstructive surgery on his knee. The three got hotel rooms at a small hotel on the base while they waited for Sasha to get fitted for a military-grade prosthetic arm. She opted to get the prosthesis and continue with her military career, although she would probably be assigned an admin job or something of the sort now. The military had a strict policy on not sending single parents into combat.\n\nJerry lay on his back, not able to lie on either side. The cast was too uncomfortable to lie on and his shoulder still hurt like hell, but he wasn't about to show that to Chris. The panther worried enough as it was. It was already a bit embarrassing for Jerry to have to get the panther's help to undress himself, even though he knew Chris would do anything for him. Ever since they first met, Jerry had tried to be the strong one for the panther. He became the crutch for Chris to lean on as he dealt with Jeremy, and stayed in that role through Chris' retirement. It felt strangely odd to be the one that needed help now, but he was glad that the panther was there to give it.\n\nChris leaned over and rested his head on the bull's chest. Jerry put his good arm around him, holding him close. It felt good to be with Chris again. It was the one thing he always missed when he was away. He missed the feel of being with the one he loved.\n\n\"So, what's going to happen after the surgery?\" Chris asked, running his hand up and down his torso. Jerry could feel that the panther had missed being together as well.\n\n\"Well, I already put in for a medical separation. I know some people in our admin section, so it should get approved. After that, I guess I only have two choices, really. I can either get a job back home, or just sponge off your pension.\" Jerry chuckled.\n\n\"Heh, well, I think I make enough to care for both of us. I am on a General's pension.\" Chris laughed. \"Anyway, that way I won't have to be away from you when you go to work. It gets pretty lonely when Jake's out and I have nothing to do.\"\n\n\"Well, then, if you're offering, I guess I'll have to accept.\" Jerry leaned down and kissed the top of the panther's head. As much as he didn't want to take advantage of the panther, it would be nice to be able to spend that much time with him. Also, he knew that if he did* try to get a job, Chris would probably spend countless hours trying to convince him otherwise. It would be a battle that Jerry wouldn't have the strength or really the desire to fight. He would miss the camaraderie of being in the infantry, but he had seen way too many of his friends die already. He knew deep down that this would be the best choice for him, and the best choice for Chris.\n\nJerry thought back to the ride to Kaldraga. He had always loved Chris with all his heart, but something changed on that ship. He realized that he needed Chris' love as well. He couldn't even tear his eyes away from his husband's picture for hours after he realized it. He knew now that he needed Chris just as much as Chris needed him. There was no \"strong\" one anymore. Not after all this.\n\n\"Chris?\" Jerry looked down at the panther on his chest, who lifted his head to look Jerry straight in the eyes. \"I love you.\"\n\nThe panther smiled weakly, \"I love you too, Jerry.\"\n\nJerry pulled the panther's head in and kissed him. Chris pressed his muzzle into the bull's, intensified by Jerry's hand pressing on the back of Chris' head. The panther rolled over on top of Jerry, never breaking the kiss. Chris wrapped his hands around Jerry's horns and pulled him in even tighter. The bull wondered if this was somewhat like what Sasha and Jester had as he and the panther gave into complete abandon.\n\n\\* \\* \\* \\*\n\nSasha stood facing the marker for Jester's grave. Most of the soldiers were buried in graveyards designated by their families, but Jeff and Michael both rested in the military gravesite on Cyrenia next to Scotty. She knew that they would have probably chosen that spot anyway. The funerals took place while Sasha was in the hospital, but no matter what she or anyone argued, they wouldn't let her go. In hindsight, it was probably best for her. Even after two weeks in the hospital, it was still hard to take. If she went to the funerals, she would have probably gone hysterical. She had been released earlier in the day and she, her uncles, and her father decided to come pay their respects before they left for home. She was given convalescent leave to get used to the prosthetic arm, which even now she couldn't help but touch. It felt so strange and foreign to her.\n\nLooking at Jester's grave, she put her good hand over her belly. Somehow, it seemed that she could feel him there. It was like a big part of him was with the yet unborn child. It was a good feeling, the same feeling she got when she looked at the small picture of the four together. She knew that, wherever they were now, they were watching over her, along with her mother and late uncle. So many people had died in this war. So many people she knew. Though there seemed a glimmer of hope now. Thanks to all the soldiers with her in Kaldraga, the Federation gained a foothold on the planet. It was good to know that their tragic deaths were not in vain. She would cherish the memories she had of each one of them. They sacrificed themselves for something they believed worthy, and one sacrificed himself directly for her. Even though their relationship was short, she knew that she would always love Michael. She knew that his sacrifice was the single greatest act of love that anyone would ever show her, and she was happy to return that love by raising his child. His son, actually, according to the genetic tests done at the hospital. Their son.\n\nSasha turned to face her father and uncles, who were standing behind her. \"I think I know what I'm going to name him now.\" Their faces perked up, looking at her expectantly.\n\n\"Michael, after his father. Michael Jeremy Kearny.\" They looked shocked at the mention of her late uncle's name, but then her father's and Uncle Chris' faces turned to pride.\n\n\"It's a great name, Sasha.\" Her uncle Jerry said, still in his wheelchair. \"A great name.\"\n\nShe nodded and they started their walk back to the car. She thought she heard her father and uncle sniffle on the way there. She knew they would like the name. They all owed a lot to her Uncle Jeremy, just as she owed a lot to Jester. Now it was time to start again. She would be given a new job, a new child, a new life. They all would have a new life now. After such tragedy, one can never live the same again. She only hoped that the old saying was right, that out of every tragedy comes something good. She wanted to have a good life again.\n\nSo let it begin now.\n\n\\~Fin\\~" } ]

It was the least they could do for the men, the men that gave their sanity, their friends and their blood for the soil of another nation. Respect was the only thing the locals could give that wasn't rationed, the only thing that wasn't in short supply in those desperate times.\n\nIt was a surprisingly somber atmosphere for a bar, often lacking the chatter, the laughter, the boisterousness that filled the air at different times. After missions, there wasn't much to laugh about, only much to remember. Every pilot from the fighter jocks to the bomber pilots felt every loss, and knew with lurking fear that the odds of surviving the war were not in their favor. Every single one of them had a number, whether it was on the tip of a flak shell or painted across the tail of an enemy fighter. The only question was how many of them would be able to walk away from the war before their number found them.\n\nWilliam leant forward on one of his arms as the mission replayed in the back of his mind, as black puffs of shell bursts and brilliant trails of tracer fire ripped across his vision even then. Some fighter jock, a new guy he'd long since forgotten that had never been on an escort mission once asked him why the bomber pilots always seemed so tired when they could rest all the way through their mission. The memory made the horse's lips curve with a bitter smile, his head bowing, his eyes closing.\n\nIt was true that in some ways it was easier, the big planes were a lot more stable than any fighter was. He rarely had to worry about fuel either, with the huge wings that the massive birds had. But unlike a fighter, the bombers couldn't evade around the enemy fire. They couldn't turn, twist and roll through the skies like a dancer swirling across an endless stage. They had to fly right into the fire, to run the gauntlet and pray to God that they would be all right. A pilot of a fighter had their own fate in their hands, their own life, their own battles.\n\nThe bomber pilots couldn't do a damn thing to protect themselves, and not just because of the ungainly flight characteristics. If they maneuvered, not only did they risk breaking formation and colliding with other planes, but they also risked upsetting the delicate work of the plane's bombardier. The bomber pilot could only depend on his gunners to keep the dogs of war at bay, to hope that the escort fighters would harry the enemy away.\n\nAll it would take is a single well placed cannon shell in an unlucky place, one hit to a fuel store, one wayward shot into a bomb rack and the whole plane would disintegrate. He'd seen it before, entire planes, seventeen men and tons of metal gone in a flash of light and smoke. Without even noticing it he'd begun to sweat and a tremor had developed in his hand, causing the whiskey in his shot glass to ripple. He took his hat off and set it on the bar, lifting a shaky hand to brush his black mane off his sweaty brow.\n\n\"Hey buddy, you alright?\" William turned his head as his co-pilot set his hand down near his neck, the meaty paw of the white tiger giving his shoulder a firm squeeze. Even through the thick insulation of the bomber jacket he was wearing he could feel the warmth of his friend's touch, something that was echoed in the cat's toothy smile. Out of all the people he knew, Dan was the only person he ever really got close to.\n\nThe horse was a soft spoken kind of guy, someone that didn't often speak unless he had something he felt was worth saying. That along with his tall, burly frame and black fur often made him seem far more intimidating or distant than he was. After flying shoulder to shoulder with Dan for hours on end though, he had eventually opened up to the tiger. They talked about their lives back home, about what they loved, about what they missed the most. They talked about their wives and of their families. Dan had two daughters back home, eight and nine and a wife that was an elementary school teacher.\n\n\"I'll live.\" Just as William was a pillar for the rest of the crew in the plane, Dan had become one for him on the ground. He leaned back into the tiger's paw and his lips pulled at the corners of his muzzle, straining out a smile for the feline.\n\n\"Lets get the hell out of here. Theres a storm coming in and it looks like snow. I don't want to get caught out in it if it gets bad.\" Dan placed a bill on the bar for the tender and slid it across, then turned to walk for the door.\n\n\"I'll be right there.\" William murmured, waiting until Dan was out the door before he reached into his pocket. He took out an envelope and carefully slid it discretely across the bar to the aging Doberman that was tending to it. The gruff dog looked at the horse then down at the envelope, reaching out a paw to cautious place his palm on it as if worried it would burn him.\n\n\"You sure you don't need this, son?\" Sherman had owned and tended to the bar for longer than William had even been breathing, and he was hardly a young colt himself. Even though he'd been giving Sherman the money for weeks, he still asked every time.\n\n\"What would I do with it? The military feeds me, and you let me use that apartment you're not renting for free.\" William's voice stayed soft, his quiet words more befitting of a school boy than a thirty year old man that stood nearly six foot five.\n\n\"You could send some of it-\" Sherman paled when he realized what he said, the words leaving his muzzle before he even realized what he was saying.\n\n\"Home?\" William finished for him, his big blue eyes shimmering for only a moment in the flickering candlelight.\n\n\"I'm sorry Will, I didn't, I mean I wasn't-\" William lifted a hand across the bar and placed it on the dog's shoulder, his thick fingers squeezing where they came to rest. Sherman was a tough old man, one that time had treated well but he knew full well the horse could break him on the bar on a whim. Instead, William just patted his shoulder and looked him in the eyes.\n\n\"Just make sure the money gets to the sisters, for the children, you understand?\" Sherman's shoulders relaxed as the horse's hand slipped from his shoulder and he started to walk away, heading out the door to meet the waiting tiger by the stone stairs leading up to the street. He'd never seen William get angry, not when teased or provoked, not even when some rowdy drunks had hit him not too long ago. The only time he even raised his voice above a murmur was when someone had trouble hearing what he was saying.\n\nFor the life of him, Sherman couldn't tell if it was because of who William was or if he just didn't have the fire left in his soul to bring out the anger inside. Outside the tiger and the horse left the view of the window situated in the narrow door, walking side by side up the slippery stairs.\n\n---\n\nThere was a storm coming, and that William was sure of. The sky hanging above the built up roof tops of downtown was a drab, threatening shade of grey that promised snow. The wind was already there, cutting down the streets with the icy touch of a witch's old, bony fingers. Some people were hurrying off down the streets but the two of them, pilot and co-pilot just strolled along side by side. There was almost no one outside, no cars driving along the streets.\n\nNothing broke the peaceful silence that the calm before the storm brought, nothing but their boots on the sidewalk and the wind howling down the alleys. Neither of them dared disrupt the silence, the peace that could only be found at the side of your most trusted friend. There was no constant back and fourth of radio chatter, no throaty hum of mighty prop engines, no clattering of machine guns. If they both weren't so tired they would probably spend the next few hours just walking around like that, trying their very best to absorb the peace of the silenced city into their hearts.\n\nThey were both too fatigued though, too tired to stretch their legs and unwind their minds by wandering aimlessly. If it was a big storm they'd have plenty of downtime at least, sheltered from the war by the limitations of the very machinery that drove it forward. The men fighting on the ground would have no such luck. It was a short walk from the bar to the apartment that they shared, only a few blocks away and five flights of stairs off the street. Dan opened the door and put his arm around William's back, pulling the horse forward into the tiny apartment. There was only one bedroom, one bath, one cozy living room with a single dull red couch they could barely fit on together.\n\n\"Sit down on the couch.\" Dan told him, his hands curling on the inside of William's jacket to strip it off his shoulders. He hung it on a brass hook on the back of the door along with his own, then locked the door and walked to the fridge. He pulled out two beers and a half eaten sandwich on a plate, setting both on the coffee table in front of William. He wasn't hungry, he almost never was, but if he didn't eat Dan might start to worry about him. He picked up the sandwich and started to take small bites, washing it down with cheap beer to the approval of the tiger.\n\n\"I'm going to go pour a bath. Finish that before it goes bad.\" The six foot tall tiger took his hat off and tossed it on the table, his short, light blonde hair almost as pale as the white fur on his body. He walked off down a short hallway, the old wooden boards beneath his feet not creaking a single time due to his natural grace. Dan was shorter than William by about five inches, but the tiger was still muscular, an athlete that would have had a tough time in the cockpit of a fighter. He had been a gym teacher before the war in some small town, teaching at the same high school he set records in when he was younger. They were still all unbroken the last time he checked, it was something his wife would update him on whenever she wrote Dan a letter. Just as the last of the sandwich passed his lips, he heard the tiger call to him from the bathroom.\n\n\"Come on and get in here while the water's hot!\" William smiled and rose to his feet, his fingers popping open the buttons on his tan shirt uniform shirt one by one. He left it along with the matching pants on the floor, walking into the bathroom wearing only his dog tags and his wedding band. The tiger was already in the water, leant back against the rim of the huge claw-footed bathtub that was in the cramped bathroom. William couldn't even fathom how the thing even fit into the bathroom in the first place, but he was grateful for it. His eyes traced across the upper third of the tiger's chest and his arms, drifting downward to huge mounds of bubbles floating on top of the steamy water.\n\n\"A bubble bath?\" William strained and held in his chuckle, standing nude in the doorway as he looked at the tiger.\n\n\"Yeah. I like bubble baths. You should know since you've taken at least ten of them with me by now.\" Dan replied, drumming his fingers on the rim of the bathtub. \"Get in.\" William shook his head and closed his eyes with his hand on his forehead, feigning exasperation as he climbed into the tub with his back to the feline.\n\nThe water was hot and the tub was deep, swallowing the bodies of the two males with plenty of room to spare. As he laid back between Dan's legs and against his body, the tiger's arms lowered from the rim of the tub to dip beneath the horse's arms. His hands rested on his chest, pulling him close and holding him up with his head resting across Dan's collar bone. Dan was holding his head just above water in more ways than the tiger knew.\n\nBeneath the water he lifted one of his hands and rested it on Dan's, their wedding rings scrapping against one another as Will laced their fingers together. Dan's other hand began to wander down his chest, his fingertips tracing along the prominant ridges of muscle and the valleys between them. William just laid there with his eyes staring out across the tiger's black and white fur as the fingers drew across the thick sheath between his thighs, eliciting a tremor from his body.\n\nIt brought him back to the here and now, focusing in on the sensations of the moment instead of his haunting thoughts. The hand kept going until it was resting on his balls, rolling them back and forth between his fingers like a set of delicate plums. Even though he didn't touch Dan's in a lewd way or try to grind back against him, the tiger's dick was starting to grow firm against the sculpted ass that was resting against it.\n\nWilliam's dick was growing as well, sliding out of his sheath under the tender ministrations of the tiger's paw. The heat of the water that greeted his flesh made him draw in a sharp through his teeth, his body tensing for only a moment before going slack against Dan's once more. William let himself become lost in the tiger's arms as the hand gripped his dick beneath the water, his hand working it with all the care he placed into the controls of their plane.\n\nDan's hands weren't calloused, they were soft, softer than any man would have probably guessed after looking at the tiger. They had all the soothing touch of a woman's hand but all the size and strength of a male in his prime, a set of hands that could erase the worries from one's heart and set it racing in the same touch.\n\n\"I love you.\" Dan murmured, three words that the two only spoke to one another in private, far away from their families and their brothers in arms. William turned his head away from Dan's body and rose from the water, letting go of his hand as he stood on his knees. The water ran off his body and dripped from his long black tail though patches of bubbles still clung to him in patches. Less than half of his backside was still hidden by the bubbles still floating on the surface and the water itself along with his dick, offering a tantalizing view for the feline behind him.\n\nDan wasted little time in climbing up to his knees behind him, one of his arms draping around his waist as he drew close. Dan eased his dick between William's ass cheeks and up to his back door, murmuring something under his breath as he reached out and took William's hand back into his. The horse squeezed it and the rim of the tub where his other hand was resting, gasping aloud as Dan's length spread his flesh apart and pushed into his body.\n\nWilliam didn't reply, he didn't have to as the tiger's chest came to rest against his back. The warmth of their bodies pressed against one another said more than anything he could have, the warmth of his lover's body deep inside his own. They just lingered like that with Dan's teeth teasing through his mane, pricking at the sides of his neck. He could feel the tiger's deep purr reverberating throughout his body and see it rippling the water around his black thighs. Dan was gentle as his hips pulled back, his cock withdrawing from the horse's body with all the care that it had used when pressing into it.\n\nGentle thrusting soon became a slow but steady rocking, waves forming on the top of the bathwater as passions began to build. The two had to keep quiet due to the thin walls of the building and the fact that no one could mistake their voices for feminine ones, causing them to only grunt and whisper instead of moaning and yelling. The lapping of the water against their bodies and the tub itself was louder than they were, their mouths clenched shut.\n\nWilliam did his best to keep his ample muscles tight, resisting every push forward that Dan gave him. He pushed back against the tiger, his mind going blissfully blank of all things except the man behind him and the pleasure he was delivering. William couldn't tell whether he was shivering or if it was just the cat's purr carrying through into his body when he came, jerking against the cat's heavy frame as he shot his load into the water between his legs. All of his muscles seized up, his hand squeezing on the rim of the tub, his ass clenching the dick inside of it for all it was worth.\n\nThe tiger's breathing went desperate then died off entirely as he drew a breath and held it, his purring reaching a fever pitch as he lost himself inside of his stallion. The fingers laced in William's went as taut as the body pressing against his back as the tiger climaxed inside of him, filling him with a heat so deep inside that only Dan could put it there. It was painfully short, a fleeting flash of passion and bliss that came and went, leaving them panting for air against one another. Dan was the first to move, bringing William back to lay across him in the water much like they had been resting only minutes before. He turned his head and leant to one side, just enough space for him to place his lips against Dan's for a tired, slow, but loving kiss. His eyes found what he was looking for in the tiger's sky blue ones, a shelter, a far away place that no one else but they knew about.\n\n\"I love you.\" William whispered as the kiss ended, turning his head to lay it across Dan's chest. His eyes grew still as they came across the pair of hands resting on his black chest. Two hands twisted with one another, with two gold bands glinting out from between a mass of bubbles. Dan loved his wife just as much as William loved his, but in this land an ocean away, they only had one another and no one else. They trusted one another just as much as they trusted the loved ones they left behind, the ones that remained within their hearts even in the heat of battle a million miles from home.\n\nThere were only two secrets that William had, two things that he had never told Dan. The first was that his wife and son had died three months ago, lost not to the far flung war but to a tired truck driver. Their deaths had been instant, that was what the bereavement officer had told him the coroner reported. He was offered leave but he didn't want to see their graves or what was left of their bodies, nor did he want to go back to the house where their scents still lingered. The second was that his tour of duty had ended a month ago, but he re-upped for another. Dan had come to the war after William had, and if he hadn't signed up for another tour then they would have been separated.\n\nWilliam knew that was something he couldn't bring himself to do, he couldn't leave Dan or his crew in the hands of another pilot no matter how good they were. Dan and his crew were the only things he had left in his life, the only thing that remained for him to live for. The odds were against him and his crew surviving, but William didn't care whether he lived or died anymore. Just as long as Dan survived, just as long as one of them could go back to his family. If that couldn't happen, at the very least, he could die shoulder to shoulder with the man that he loved. William couldn't think of a better place to die than thousands of feet up in the air with Dan, surrounded by a sky so blue." } ]

Beep... Beep...\n\n My mind slowly came around, recollecting what had just happened not but an hour ago. I ran through the bits and pieces I had accumulated, trying to make distinguish reality from illusion. I had been in my water coloring class when yelling and screaming in the halls disrupted us. When our teacher went to open the door, a man charged in and demanded that we all get into a corner. It took us a moment to realize he had a gun, and only another short moment to see he wasn't mentally sturdy. After we all got onto the ground, he started rambling about his problems, about how bad his life was. I remembered standing up, trying to comfort him, but was met with the barrel of his gun and him telling me to sit back down. I thought I had started saying that maybe he didn't get anything back because whenever someone tried they would be met with resistance. That's when my body was thrown back, my ears met with a sharp bang, and pain surging from my chest through my entire body. I had slammed into the cabinets and felt warm liquids running down my front and back. Many people started to scream, but we were all quickly silenced when he fired his gun into the air. Then there was the faint sound of sirens as I remembered blacking out for the first time. I came to when the groundhog was creeping out into the hallway, then I saw Ierlex fly past the doorway. I kept falling beneath the waves on unconsciousness, breaking the surface only to be quickly submerged again in its suffocating grasp. Then, the sound of shattering glass brought me back from the depths. I my eyes wandered around the room, as if they had a mind of their own, until they settled on Ierlex, facedown in a sea of red glass. I thought that we were going to die, so I reached for him, finding the strength inside me to stretch out my arm, wanting to feel him one more time before we died, needing him to know that if we were going to die, we would die together. I tried to speak, to tell him a final time that I loved him, but I could only move my mouth, any sound that I wanted to make was silenced. He clawed his way over and took my hand, and told me he loved me too. Right then I could've died and been completely content, but when the groundhog didn't fire, I had to hang on and stay alive. I remembered my mind turning black once more just before I heard another gunshot. The next thing I knew I was being carried down a street and into a building. I struggled to stay conscious, but the darkness overtook me again as I was laid down.\n\n Then a thought occurred to me, was I dead? Stricken by fear I sat upright, but something felt off. It was like I was weightless and I felt nothing. I looked around the room and saw Ierlex sitting in a chair next to my hospital bed, seemingly unaware that I had sat up. I tried calling out to him, but got no response. I swung my legs over the bed and stood up, but when I looked back at the bed I was shocked. Lying there was my body, bandaged, hooked up to machines, and completely motionless. While my mind swirled with possible explanations a doctor came in, seemingly oblivious to me as well as he walked over to Ierlex.\n\n\"Well, we have good news and bad news. I'm going to start with the good news. When she arrived here we expected her to die within ten minutes, but she didn't. However, she is in a coma, and we don't believe she will live too much longer. Seeing as you have no health insurance, I would suggest pulling the plug on her.\" I was shocked at what he had said, but at least now I knew what was going on, almost. I saw Ierlex curl his paws into fists and lower his head. \"Nothing can make me kill her, nothing. She WILL live, because of our love. She WILL NOT die. I don't care if you take everything from me, even the clothes off my back, as long as she stays alive, you hear? I know she is still alive, but what you don't know, don't understand, is that she IS going to live, no matter what. Thank you for coming in, doc.\" The doctor took a moment to comprehend what Ierlex had said before walking out, bringing a paw to his head. I looked back at my love, his head buried in the bed sheets near my body's shoulder. I walked around the bed and placed my paw on his arm, but again I felt nothing, and he didn't react either. He sat up and took a deep breath.\n\n\"Alexis, if you can hear me in there, I want you to know that I will do every single thing possible to save you, and I won't leave your side, ever. Apart from one another we are lost, but I know that soon we will find each other again.\" I wasn't too sure if my spirit self was capable of crying, but if it was then I'm sure there were tears rolling down my face.\n\n\"Ierlex, I know you can't hear me, but I will do everything possible to stay alive, because I will never, ever leave you.\"\n\n---\n\n A few days passed by without much happening, with the exception of a doctor or two coming in to say that they didn't have any progress with me, but that my readings were still stable. Some days Ierlex would talk to me, but some days he wouldn't speak at all and just sat by my side, contemplating what was going on. I was growing tired of sitting in chairs or lying down, and because spirits don't sleep I've been awake the whole time without much to do.\n\n Sometimes a voice that wasn't mine would resonate in my head and ask if I wanted to leave this realm yet and pass on to the next world. Each time I would decline and get its voice out of my head. Sometimes, however, I didn't really know what to do. Was it better to stay like this, stay right beside my soul mate but completely unable to interact with him in the slightest, or to move to the next world...\n\n---\n\n It was nearing a week since I had been in the hospital, and Ierlex was still in the same chair, staying there for around twenty-three hours a day, leaving only briefly to eat or use the bathroom. Now he was sleeping uncomfortably in the chair when four men walked into the room.\n\n\"Excuse me, Ierlex?\" He jolted awake, surprised to be woken from his uneasy sleep.\n\n\"Oh, hello sirs. I guess I should've called to tell you I wasn't able to make it to my jobs. I'm sorry.\"\n\n\"What are you talking about?\" The one on the left said. \"We've heard about what you did at the collage, and we aren't surprised at what you're doing now in the slightest.\"\n\n\"We also know you don't have any health insurance.\"\n\n\"So we've all agreed to pay the medical bills for you, no matter how long this lasts.\"\n\n\"Really, but why?\"\n\n\"Why you ask? Because Ierlex, you are a hero, and because you have sacrificed so much for us, we just had to return the favor.\"\n\n\"Also, we pooled your Christmas bonus into one, and decided to give it too you early.\" Said the last one, holding a slip of paper out to Ierlex. He stood up and took the check, nearly falling back down when he saw what it was worth.\n\n\"Eight hundred thousand dollars?!? You can't be serious, can you?\" They chuckled at his reaction before responding.\n\n\"Not all of it came from us, we held fund drives for people to donate to you, the hero of our city, and hundreds of people came and gave money.\"\n\n\"I-I-I can't believe it, I mean, this helps me out so very much. How can I ever repay you guys?\"\n\n\"Don't worry Ierlex, you've already done more than enough. But we do have a favor to ask, well two actually. One, be sure to come by and visit if you leave in the near future. And two, go back and find your parents some time, I'm sure they are worried sick about you.\"\n\n\"Yea, my parents...\" He hung his head low and dropped his ears. He glanced back at my body, and then averted his eyes from looking at anything. \"It's not like I wanted to hurt them or anything, but I had my reasons for running. And now that I look back, it was only my family looking out for each other, only wanting to build a better life.\" The four men nodded and decided it was time to go, so they said a quick goodbye before heading out the door, ultimately leaving Ierlex to himself.\n\n He sat down next to the bed again, head still hung low.\n\n\"Alexis, I swear that when you come out of this, we'll go back and find your parents, then we'll track down mine and hope that they aren't too disappointed in me.\" A few small tears began forming in Ierlex's eyes as he laid his head on the sheets, adding to the small already absorbed puddle already there from earlier today. I walked over to him and kneeled down, wrapping my arms around him, knowing full well he wouldn't feel it. This was the definition of hell, being so damn close to the one you love, but at the same time so far away. I wanted so badly to be hugged by him again, talk with him, even just feel his gentle loving touch, but I couldn't because I was trapped just below the surface of water, and at the same time ten thousand miles deep.\n\n---\n\n Another day passed, the morning light flittering into the room as I watched Ierlex wake from his discontented sleep, a hopeful expression on his face, only to be crushed when he realized he was back in reality.\n\n\"I dreamed about you again,\" He said, looking at my face. \"That you weren't in a coma, and we were together again. That was the first night I didn't have a nightmare, so I thought that... That maybe I would wake up and you'd be...\" His fists clenched to the point of his claws drawing blood until he stood up and paced around the room in confusion and frustration. I started to say something, but then realized it would be a futile, wasted effort.\n\n\"Are you ready to move on yet?\"\n\n\"What? Who's there?\" I said, turning around. Leaning against the corner of the room was a crow, cloaked in black.\n\n\"I asked if you were ready to move on yet.\"\n\n\"Who are you?\"\n\n\"I have many names. Messenger of death, demon, fiend. The one that mortals have given me is the grim reaper, which is misleading.\"\n\n\"And why is that?\"\n\n\"Because, there is more than one of what I am. I am not THE grim reaper, I am simply A grim reaper.\"\n\n\"And so now your here to take me?\" I asked, taking a step back.\n\n\"No, I am here to offer passage to the next realm. It is your choice, to stay here, in this type of purgatory, or you can come with me and move on.\"\n\n\"Thanks but no thanks, I will be staying here until I, well, come out of the coma.\"\n\n\"Fine, but remember, you were shot and lost a lot of blood, I don't quite know if your body will be able to last much longer.\"\n\n I balled my fists in frustration. \"Shut up just shut up. I won't leave him.\"\n\n\"And why is that?\" He asked nonchalantly.\n\n\"Because I love him and won't ever leave him!\"\n\n\"Well, it seems like he's left you just now.\" He said, pointing to the empty chair.\n\n\"He, he'll be back.\"\n\n\"Yes, but for how long?\"\n\n I turned around, my spirit-self shaking in anger. \"He WILL be back.\" When he didn't respond I spun around, fists raised, but found the room empty, save for my incapacitated body.\n\n\"Hmm, I'm talking with spirit demons now. Great, just what I needed.\" I don't know why I still bother speaking out loud anymore, it's not like anyone can really hear me. Perhaps I do because that at least lets me know that I still exist and I'm not in a complete vegetated state. I walked around the room, humming incoherent tunes and breaking off melody randomly. Maybe I was going mad, but was I really me, or am I not myself? I am lying on a bed, but then again I'm standing over here. Is there two of me, or am I just half of my former self? He ha, what would happen if I was in fact two different me's and then I came back together? Would I have a bipolar disorder then?\n\n I started skipping around the room, laughing maniacally and spinning around in the air. Maybe being crazy isn't as bad as it's cracked up to be. Why was I really still here when I could move on like the crow man said? I stopped hopping around as footsteps drew closer from the hallway. I waited at the doorway, looking for who might be coming into the room.\n\nIerlex walked in, a dozen roses in hand, a vase with water in the other. He placed the vase on the table next to my bed and carefully lowered the flowers down into it.\n\n\"I went to deposit the check and stopped by the shop near the bank to get you these roses. I hope that you'll be able to smell them before they die, and if not then I promise I'll get more until you come out of this, all right?\" He sat down in his chair again, sitting in just as much solitude and loneliness as I was. How could have I forgotten so easily the reason why I couldn't leave, why I wouldn't leave.\n\n\"Oh god, Ierlex. I-I'm so sorry.\" I said, mostly just to myself. I had to stay strong, and I had to fight until either I came through the coma or until I was forcibly dragged away by ten thousand bulls from this realm. I sat down next to him, both of us in silence, and strangely enough both of us looking at my body. I swore, right then and there that I'd never go into another brief dip of insanity, for if the crow had come back then I might have accepted his offer.\n\n---\n\n The last few hours of the day passed in silence, and the rest of the week quite the same. No more visitors, no more crows, even the doctors only came in once every two or three days. Ierlex and I had a weird way of connecting with each other. During the days he would watch me, then during the nights I would watch him. I would spend the nights thinking of when we were together, when we left our old homes, when Geana's house burned down, when he was stabbed and I almost lost him; and then I would spend hours just looking at him, marveling at his unique fur, his black streaks, his unusual but alluring hair, his strong, loving arms, even the way he breathed while he slept entranced my gaze, only making me want to be reunited with him again that much more. Then, when day came around, I'm sure he would think the same things about me. Then when night came back we would once again switch. The nights during which he slept soundly were few and far between, the majority of them he would move around endlessly in his chair, tormented endlessly by nightmares, waking up dozens of times, always checking on me to make sure I was still alive before uneasily falling back in his own hellish prison.\n\n Last night, however, was one of the rare nights where he slept soundly. His eyes slowly opened, a smile on his face for the first time in a while. He stood up and walked over to the window and looked out into the rising sun, small flakes of snow lazily fluttering down, painting the ground a beautiful sparkling white.\n\n\"Alexis, it's snowing!\" He said excitedly at seeing snow for the first time. \"You should really come s... see it...\" His voice trailed off at the end, head lowering in sadness. He shuffled back to his chair and slumped down, almost feeling a type of guilt. A knock at the open door made his jump, the small smile returning to his face when he saw whom it was.\n\n\"Knock knock Ierlex!\"\n\n\"Reiken! What are you doing here?\"\n\n\"Want the long story or the short story?\" He said, walking over and sitting down next to Ierlex.\n\n\"Well, I've got all the time in the world right now sadly.\"\n\n\"Well, Melissa and I were just surfin the web about two days ago when we came across a link to the hero of a city in the north, so I decided to click on it. We read the story they had on it with the whole collage fiasco, then there was another link to the pictures that were taken. We clicked on it and lone behold, the first picture was of you carrying Alexis, sprinting down the street, covered in blood. The next day was the two weeks we had off for winter break, so we decided to try and head up here. Sadly for Melissa, her family already had plans, but I convinced my parents to let me get a train ticket up here. I told 'em I wanted to visit a friend of mine. So just twenty minutes ago the train arrived and I found my way here.\" I looked at Reiken curiously. He sure had grown since I'd seen him a while ago, and at least now he was wearing a shirt, but still only had shorts on in the cold weather.\n\n\"So, how is she?\" He asked Ierlex.\n\n\"She, she'll make it. The doctors don't think so, but I know that she'll be fine. There are times even I can almost feel her by me, and can almost hear her. Does that mean I'm driving myself crazy?\"\n\n\"I-I don't think so man. I mean, maybe her mind is still functioning fully and it's just her body that isn't fully recovered yet.\" Ierlex nodded, the both of them sitting quietly for a moment.\n\n\"Reiken, is it possible to miss someone so much when they are right next to you?\"\n\n\"Yea, I'd say so. Hey Ierlex?\"\n\n\"Yea?\"\n\n\"I really think you should come with me for some brunch, it would do you some good.\" Ierlex hesitated for a moment, not really wanting to leave me.\n\n\"It's all right Ierlex,\" I said. \"Go with him, it's ok.\" I could've sworn that he actually heard me, because he nodded and stood up.\n\n\"Ok, let's go.\"\n\n\"Well, I don't have much on me, so do you think you could cover this?\" Reiken said, heading towards the door.\n\n\"Don't worry, I've got over eight hundred thousand in the bank.\" I heard Reiken shout in disbelief as they walked down the hall, leaving me to me, myself and I.\n\n I walked around the room, simply trying to pass time, until I heard a rustling behind me. I turned around to see the cloaked crow once more.\n\n\"Ah, you again. I almost wanted you to show up again. It gives me someone to talk with.\"\n\n\"I'm not all to certain that it gives you someone to talk to, but more of something to talk to. Either way, I suppose I am still able to converse with you.\"\n\n\"So,\" I said, sitting down. \"How old are you, if you know what I mean.\"\n\n\"I have existed for many many ages, before recorded time even. There is the material world, the spiritual world, and between those there is the sub-terminal of lost souls. All three have existed since the beginning\n\nof time, and therefore beings like me have existed since the beginning as well.\"\n\n\"Well, do you gain anything from your job? Like a succubus, or a soul eater?\"\n\n\"No, I gain nothing from guiding a soul from here to there. I exist to do one job and one job only, and I do it without question, as do all other messengers.\"\n\n\"Do you normally talk with souls like this?\"\n\n\"No, most times I offer and they accept, unlike you, who continues delaying the inevitable. I still don't see why you decide to waste your time here, waiting for something that won't happen.\" I stood up defensively again, balling my fists.\n\n\"You know exactly why I'm staying, and I know that soon I'll be out of this prison.\" He brought a paw to his head, massaging his temples.\n\n\"Ahh, so very young, so very ignorant.\"\n\n\"What was that?\" I said, stepping towards him.\n\n\"You know so little, and think you understand what's going on here but you don't. I have seen this many times anon, and ultimately it ends as I see it.\"\n\n\"But this is different, this is\"\n\n\"This is love, correct?\" He interrupted. \"This is a battle of life and death, love plays no factor, and death is triumphing, but you fail to realize it.\"\n\n\"You're wrong!\" I said, swinging a fist at him. However, just before my paw got to him, he disintegrated into smoke, disappearing and leaving my fist to swing at the air. The smoke flew past me and fused back together. I turned around, swinging once more at the crow, and once more he turned into darkness, transforming back into a crow beside me.\n\n\"Anger is the second step. First is denial, then anger. I shall return when you reach the next step, and hopefully won't be so edgy then.\" With that he vanished into the shadows, leaving me in my anger.\n\n\"God damn, why doesn't he understand?\" I shouted, pacing back in forth. Doesn't he have feelings too? I stopped walking, thinking for a moment. He said he was always and only a messenger, so maybe he never had feelings, and doesn't understand love or hate, but only knows the definition, not its true meaning. I continued pacing around the room, my mind perplexed with possible ideas and theories.\n\n My pondering was cut short as I heard laughter down the hall. I waited near the bed, anxious to see who it was, even though I had a pretty good idea of who it might be. My assumption was correct as Ierlex and Reiken walked back into the room, smiling and laughing, arms friendly around each other shoulders.\n\n\"So then I was like, hey officer, you might not want to ticket me for parking illegally, and literally just then another car smashed into his, just because the cop car was hanging halfway into the street.\" They both laughed for a moment before Ierlex tried to compose himself.\n\n\"But dude, I don't think you have a drivers license yet, do you?\"\n\n\"Nope, but the cop didn't know that until I had driven my ass outta there real quick!\"\n\n\"You crazy bastard you.\" Ierlex said, lightly punching him in the arm. It made me happy to see Ierlex smile and laugh again, knowing that he could still find happiness with the state I am in. But I sure would do anything to be able to share his happiness and his smiles with him.\n\n\"So, it appears you've moved on to bargaining, have you not?\" I turned to look at the crow, not even really surprised that he was here.\n\n\"Can you read minds or something, because it's sorta creepin me out.\"\n\n\"There are things I need to know, and some things become apparent just because I know what to look for. I've had a lot of practice, trust me.\" The crow responded in a poised manner.\n\n\"Um, I'm, um. I'm sorry for what I did the last time you were here. I was just, I mean, it's that. I-I'm sorry.\"\n\n\"Fret not, it is only natural for one to become flustered and defensive when they have to accept the knowledge of a higher power; I took no offense to your actions.\"\n\n\"Ok, thanks. But one more thing... Do you have, feelings? I mean, can you feel love, or hate, or sadness or happiness?\"\n\n\"While I have no feelings of my own, me and others like me have a very strong understanding of your emotions. We cannot feel love, but we can sense it. We cannot feel hate, but we can sense it.\"\n\n\"Yes, now that makes it a lot more understandable. So, is what you can do a good thing or a bad thing?\"\n\n\"At times it is helpful, but during other times it is horrible, absolutely cruel. The wars you fight are so meaningless, and yet you still send each other to kill one another, your brothers and sisters. All I sense during these times is hate and pain. Sometimes I almost feel pity towards you all, but then I cannot feel, so it all is meaningless, just like the reasons why you start wars.\"\n\n\"Wow, that must be tough having to deal with that.\"\n\n\"It doesn't matter, for it has happened and it will happen, for some reason merciless, unreasonable killing is in your nature.\" I turned around to see if Reiken was still here, and found both Ierlex and him sitting in the chairs quietly. I looked over my shoulder and saw that the crow had disappeared again, so I went and sat on the end of the bed, losing myself in my thoughts once more.\n\n I felt sad, lonely even. I wasn't too sure if I was going to come out of this coma anymore. I looked at my body, sighing to myself. Screw life, why do I even want it back so badly? I don't even really care anymore, just fuck it, whatever.\n\n---\n\nMonths past, winter turned to spring, and February was in swing. I sat on the edge of the bed, looking at my beloved Ierlex, who was in his chair as usual. Even in his sleep he looked sad, and I was tired of him being unhappy.\n\n\"Now why are you moping around on a day like this?\" I stood up and turned to face the crow again.\n\n\"You know, sometimes I think he could almost be happy again if I just, died. He was smiling and laughing when he was hanging out with Reiken. As long as I'm stuck in this coma he will never be happy again, and I'm convinced I won't come out of it.\" He nodded in agreement.\n\n\"You know, my name is slightly skewed on its real meaning. I am not just the messenger of death, for that is only half of my job. I am a judge, per say, of life and death. For one cannot be touched by the light without casting a shadow. One cannot exist without the other, therefore death is only half of my job, and I'm convinced that you understand life and death, and that you, in my mind, have passed.\"\n\n\"What do you mean? I don't understand.\"\n\n\"You'll know when it happens, and it shall happen soon.\" With that he vanished. I looked behind me to see Ierlex was gone again. I sat back on the bed and tried to make sense of what the crow had said. I think I could handle death, but no more could I handle being so separated from Ierlex, keeping him from his happiness. Yes, I could accept death. I heard someone walking in the hall, approaching the door. I stood up and saw Ierlex walk in, a dozen roses in hand. He walked over to me, sitting down.\n\n\"Hey there Alexis. Today's Valentines Day, and I got you these roses. I was going to get you a box of chocolates, but then I remembered that...\" He laid his head on the bed, near my shoulder and started crying. \"God I miss you so much. I miss your touch, your laugh, everything about you. I love you so much.\"\n\n I looked at him, wanting to be with him but knew that it probably wasn't possible anymore. I felt, cold? Wait, spirits don't feel things like temperature or pressure. My body felt chilled as my vision grew lighter, until all I could see was a blinding white from all over; then it suddenly went black.\n\n I opened my eyes, looking up at the ceiling. I moved my fingers, my actual fingers, for the first time in a long time. To my right Ierlex was crying, his head on the bed and eyes shut tight. I leaned up and wrapped my arms around his chest, hugging him tight.\n\n\"A-Alexis?\" He said confused. His entire body froze in shock and went completely rigid.\n\n\"Oh Ierlex, I missed you so much.\" I began weeping, holding him tight. His muscles relaxed as he pulled me closer and started crying hard into my shoulder, me doing the same. I felt a tugging at my arm and a crash of equipment, but that was the last thing on my mind right now, all I cared about was that I was with Ierlex again.\n\n\"Oh my god Alexis I missed you so much.\"\n\n\"Me too Ierlex, I love you so much.\"\n\n\"What is the commotion?\" One of the doctors walked in after hearing the crash.\n\n\"Oh my god, is she, is she?\" He stuck his head into the hallway and shouted.\n\n\"Quick, come here, Alexis came out of her coma!\" Three sets of rushing footsteps came rushing into the room as I sat up on the edge of the bed, still hugging Ierlex. The four doctors looked in shock of what they thought was the impossible.\n\n\"Alexis, I thought I was going to lose you forever. I was so afraid that I wouldn't be with you again.\"\n\n\"Me too Ierlex. Me too.\" I stood up, taking the IV tube out of my arm and checked with the doctors if I could leave.\n\n\"Umm, I suppose you two could leave just after we do a few checks to make sure nothing is all too wrong with you.\" The lead doctor said, fumbling with the equipment on the ground.\n\n---\n\n We were done with all the checks within an hour and in the lobby, waiting the final word on if we could leave. I looked at the doctor in the hallway and he nodded, meaning we could go. We got up, hand in hand, wanting to share the rest of Valentines Day together. I looked back one last time before walking out the door and saw, in the corner, a crow, dressed in a white cloak. He nodded to me before vanishing into darkness, retuning to his domain.\n\n\"Thank you, wise crow.\" I whispered to myself quietly. I walked into the street, hugging Ierlex tightly as we were finally back together, happy as could be." } ]

The lights all lit up as the on air sign lit up. The show's host, a nice looking machamp in a tuxedo walked onto the set. \"Hello and welcome back to the next season of...\" He pointed up to a large sign above him with two of his four hands. \"The Late Night Vore Show.\" A fake audience screamed out as the sign lit up. \"Its good to be back, I've spent the past few months searching all over Kanto to find some of the tastiest recipes around, but as usual these are not just your normal recipes.\" He smiled.\n\nA pair of new figures walked up onto the stage now. The larger of the two, a very well built charizard had to duck his head down just a bit in order to get onto the stage. He smiled and kept constantly looking down to the other figure that hugged him as they walked onto the stage, his favorite pet. The gardevoir was more then happy to walk with him, just barely half his height, an even larger smile on her face as they walked up to the stage. Her body was nicely curved, her breasts nice and large, but not too big. The machamp smiled as he motioned them over. Neither one of the two guests were dressed, their bodies perfectly exposed, but they didn't mind, not even caring that they were very much aroused. The gardevoir was happily stroking her master's cock even as they walked up. \"Hello, my name is Dexter Jones.\" The charizard smiled as patted his pet gardevoir. \"And I'm is favorite pet Glacia.\" The gardevoir leaned up as best she could to kiss him, still stroking his cock, although a bit harder now. \"And tonight, I am going to be my masters dinner.\" She cheered lightly.\n\n\"Today, Dexter here has agreed to share with us one of his favorite pets, Glacia.\" The machamp stated. \"Tonight's recipe...\" He smiled and pointed to a chalk board behind him.\n\n\"Glazed and stuffed gardevoir.\" Dexter smiled and licked his lips, even bending over to lick Glacia's cheek getting a small giggle from her. \"The stuffing comes in two varieties. The first is a fresh mixed berry and yogurt parfait, the second, a wonderful oran berry milkshake.\" Glacia was the next to speak. \"And I shall be glazed in a thick and gooey, wonderfully sweet honey and brown sugar glaze, mixed with a few cheri berries for a much enjoyed spicy touch my master loves so much.\"\n\nThe machamp laughed and clapped both set of his hands. \"Well, don't let me stop you.\" The machamp laughed as he walked off to the side of the stage. \"You know the rules, you two are welcome to play as much as you want, but you only have 45 minutes to share your recipe giving a full demonstration on how to prepare your pet for consumption.\" The machamp reached out and pulled out a small box. \"And as promised, in return for sharing your recipe, we are providing you with one Dark Jewel.\" He held up the small stone and set it on the counter in front of Glacia. \"As you know, merely giving your consent after swallowing this jewel will allow any pet who has taken to be reborn every time they are eaten. Have fun you two.\" The machamp quickly walked off the set.\n\nGlacia smiled and quickly took the small purple stone and swallowed. \"I here by give my consent to my master Dexter Jones, willingly becoming his complete pet and meal to eat as often as he desires.\" She cheered turning around to kiss him.\n\n\"Well, we had better get started.\" Dexter smiled and hit a button. The island centerpiece of the kitchen opened up and a massive plate, more then large enough for Glacia to fit on rose up into position. Glacia was really stroking his cock hard now, eager to begin. \"To start off, you'll want to make sure you have some sort of dish large enough to hold you meal. This is a messy meal and even though I feel that's part of the fun, it's a pain to clean up at times.\" Dexter smiled and quickly picked Glacia up and placed her on the serving dish as she giggled being a bit ticklish.\n\nShe quickly leaned over to keep stroking his cock now as she looked at the fridge using her mind to get everything they would need from it right now while Dexter smiled and pulled out a few cooking utensils he would need. \"Before anything else, make sure to give your pet a complete wash down, make sure she is clean both on the outside.\" He playfully grabbed Glaica's breasts. \"And on the inside.\" He flipped her over and slid a finger into her ass getting a delightful moan from his pet.\n\n\"Now, one of the biggest things you'll need for this meal is of course a funnel to help push your stuffing into your pet.\" He laughed holding up a large funnel. \"And something to hold it in.\" He set down the funnel now and held up a small bottle in one hand, and a potato in the other. \"You have a few choices, either go with a nice flavored bonding syrup to seal your pet once stuffed, buy some edible toys large knots, or take a large potato and make a butt plug out if it.\" He laughed as Glacia quickly took to turning the potato into just that. \"I like a mix of the potato and bonding syrup.\"\n\nDexter laughed a bit when Glacia gave a playful needy whine \"Oh alright, We'll just have to start stuffing you.\" He smirked as he opened up the case of yogurt, a few bags of mixed sweet berries, and some thick berry syrup. He poured a few handfuls of the berries into a large mixing bowl with one hand, while his other hand was back at Glacia's ass again. \"Its often a good idea to play with your pet's ass for a bit.\" He was slowly sliding a single finger in and out of her ass right now as he took a spoon and scooped out a few spoonfuls of the berry syrup and put that into a bowl. \"In playing with your pet's ass like this, you help loosen it up some, make it easier to slide the funnel in.\" He stated as he had a good mix of berries and the berry syrup in the bowl, mixing them now as he slid a second finger into her ass. The camera quickly zoomed onto Glacia's ass as it fell right into the perfect view for a camera to capture. \"For the first stuffing mix, I'm making a real simple berry parfait, just go with the berries you like, and your choice yougurt. I like to add something like a thick strawberry sauce to help thicken the mix, but its mostly just what you want to do with it.\"\n\nDexter kept fingering her ass for a few minutes while he mixed the berries for the parfait filling. At last the mix was ready and he stopped fingering Glacia's ass getting a slightly disappointed whine from her. \"Now, the easist way to stuff your pets ass is like this.\" He nodded for Glacia to get on her back, her ass facing him. Dexter then set his tail up on the counter as she raised her back end up and then rested herself on his tail, her ass nicely raised and waiting for its filling. \"I know many of you don't have a tail like mine, so a good thick pillow often helps.\" He stated and pulled out the funnel.\n\n\"Master, please, fill me.\" Glacia smiled, reaching a hand up and spreading her sex wide for the camera's with one hand, reaching over to grab the funnel herself and force that into her ass with her other hand. Dexter just had to laugh again as he licked her ass come.\n\n\"If you want to be stuffed, then I'll have to stuff you.\" He smirked and first scooped up a large spoonful of the berries and slidding that into Glacia's ass.\n\nShe shivered some feeling the mix slid into her ass. \"Oh that's cold.\" She giggled a bit.\n\n\"I'll warm you up soon enough.\" He laughed as he now swapped out for a large spoonful of yogurt. He kept swapping back and forth, large spoonfuls of berries, then yogurt before he looked at her, her ass was nicely filled. \"Now if you many people, that's how you make a parfait.\" He smiled. \"But I like to mix my parfait's up so that I get a nice taste of the berries and yogurt with each mouthful.\" He stated. With that command, he lifted up Glacia's ass a bit and removed his tail before he lowered her down. \"And to do that, I like to have some real fun.\" Glacia smiled as she spread her legs very wide, just in time for him to ram his cock, nearly as wide as her arm, into her ass. She moaned out loudly, enjoying herself as she was pounded, the berries and yogurt mixing in her ass, feeling sliding deeper and deeper into her.\n\nWhile Dexter did this though, he took the rest of the berries that he didn't mix with the strawberry sauce and dumped them in a blender. Glacia did her part as well, although it was obvious from way all of the other ingredients for the milkshake flew over, bobbing up and down, far from a steady flight from the freezer and fridge that she was enjoying her masters cock pounding her ass like it was. Dexter took the rest of the ingredients before they wound up on the floor and mixed upt eh milkshake.\n\nAfter a good five minutes of abusing his pet's ass, he finally stopped and leaned over her. \"I always did enjoy making a pet into a meal, but be sure to take the time to let you pet have some fun as well.\" Dexter stated finally started pulling his cock out, his cock covered in the mixed berries and yogurt. \"Now make sure you have your chosen sealing method ready to go before you pull out entirely, you would hate to loose any of your parfait filling.\" He laughed as he opened up the bonding syrup and gave the potato butt plug a generous coating before finally pulling his cock out all the way slipping its replacement into Glacia's ass. \"Once you seal any part of your pet with bonding syrup, you'd better be ready to serve them up as a meal. Most bonding syrups taste wonderful, are filled with vitamins, but most importantly, they bond things up harder then rubber cement.\" He waited a few before trying to pull on the potato butt plug, but it was firmly stuff in her ass. Glacia enjoyed that pull though, moaning out happily. \"Now, its often a good idea to let your pet taste test the mix for you at this point.\" Dexter smiled as Glacia quickly rolled over and began to quickly clean his cock with her tongue.\n\nDexter gave a very content growl as his pet worked, even sucking him off once she had finished cleaning his cock of the parfait. \"How was it?\" He asked as she backed off, but kept stroking him.\n\n\"It was good, but I like my master's treat even more.\" She giggled as he patted her on the head.\n\n\"Its just like you to say that.\" He laughed a bit. \"Well, up next is the milkshake stuffing. You can buy instant, or you can everything you need like the list on your screen.\" He smiled. \"Make sure that which ever one you go with though, it's a thick mixture. I've found out the thicker mixtures stay chilled long.\" He smirked as he looked over the milkshake as he started to finger Glacia's pussy as she kept sucking on the head of his cock. \"Now, you still have two choices left as to where you fill her, I kinda like to divide up the batch and let her drink a good share of it, while filling her pussy as well.\" He smiled and turned her around. \"Of course, I also love that little extra bit of flavor, which is why I've had my pet work so eagerly on my cock the whole episode, even a bit before so that I could give her a second creamy filling.\" He laughed and Glacia's eyes seemed to light up.\n\n\"Master is going to fill me with his seed?\" She looked up at him very hopeful. \"Oh please, won't master treat me to his cum, I want to feel it deep inside me.\" She begged a bit.\n\n\"As you can see, she is all too willing. As I always say, a pleasured pet is a tasty pet.\" He grinned and laid her back, Glacia more then happy to spread her legs again, even pushing herself down to take the head of his cock. An overhead camera quickly zoomed onto the sight, easily seeing the fact that she was very tight over his cock. That didn't stop her though as she moaned out pulling him deeper.\n\n\"Now, while I have my last little bit of fun with my pet, I'm going to fill her up just a bit with the milkshake.\" He poured her a nice large glass which she took and began to drink slowly, enjoying its taste, but enjoying her master's cock a whole lot more. He began to roughly pound her, both of them close from all the fun before hand and Dexter was determined to see her cum first. Reaching down to lightly suck on her breasts, his mouth easily able to fit them both at the same time, his tongue dashing over both of her nipples, coiling lightly around one, then darting to the other.\n\nHe grinned as he felt her sex twitch and flew every which way over his cock, bumping against the very back of her pussy a few times even before he finally heard her scream out in his mind, her body shaking in pleasure as her already tight passage clamped even harder of his cock. He gave a few more hard thrusts before finally unloading his hot seed in her, his cock too large to let any out right now.\n\nHe let her calm down for a few before pulling out and taking the cup of milkshake from her, a little bit still left in. He merely dumped that into the rest of the mix waiting to be used. \"Clean me up one more then, then I'll glaze you.\" He kissed her before she hurried to do as he commanded.\n\nOnce his cock was clean again, he flipped her up like he did when he was stuffing her ass, but this time, she was using her hands to hold herself open as wide as she could. \"Master, please fill me the rest of the way.\" She playfully cheered.\n\n\"Oh all right.\" He grinned and took what was left of the milkshake and began to pour it into her pussy.\n\nShe shivered a lot. \"Oh master, that is really cold.\" She smiled and playfully stuck her tongue out at him. He grinned some more though and just kept pouring until she was full. \"Now, this is really way I like to use the bonding syrup.\" He applied another generous portion of the syrup to her skin, this time to her as pussy though and lightly closed her pussy for her, holding it in place for a few seconds.\n\n\"And just to make it all look fancy.\" HE wiped off the excess milkshake from her pussy, then spread her lips as best he could. \"I like to add just a bit of parsley.\" He smiled and held up some parsley leaves. \"Of course, I really recommend you leave this choice up to your pet.\" He smiled as he looked down to her and she nodded back. He gently slid the long stem of the parsley into her urethra, getting a bit of a small groan from her, but she still happily smiled for him.\n\n\"Now, for the finishing touch, the glaze.\" Dexter smiled as he pulled up two large buckets of glazing. \"Now for this, I've just got some basic store brand holiday glazing, like we said the beginning of the show, its just honey and brown sugar. I however, like to add something spicy to add a well balanced flavor, in this case, Cheri berries.\" He stated pulling out a small bag of said berry. \"Its easy to add, just throw them in a blender and puree them, before tossing the batch into your glazing.\" He smiled and did just as he directed. \"Once that's over, mix well and glaze.\" He smiled as Glacia quickly stood up and smiled. \"I like to let my pet play some while glazing herself.\" He smiled and handed her a large sponge. \"I find a large unused bath sponge is great for getting that even coating over your meal.\" He held up a bucket of the glazing and watched, with a very intent and hungry look as Glacia had her own ideas using her mind to pick up the second bucket of glazing and merely dumping that over her head.\n\nDexter, and even the rest of the crew had to lick their lips as the glaze dipped over her. Glacia merely used the sponge to play with herself, scrubbing it into her breasts and over her ass, but did need a bit of the second bucket to finish coating her thighs and calves. \"Is master hunger?\" She teased taking a small pose in front of him before laying back on the plate, lifting her legs to him.\n\n\"And that is how I enjoy preparing my dinner, a stuffed and glazed gardevoir.\" Dexter stated before he licked his lips again, before taking her legs. She moaned out a bit more as she rolled over so that the cameras could get a better view. Dexter easily took in her calves, then started on her thighs and like her promised, it was a messy meal with all that glazing, the towel he wore around his neck thoroughly soaked already. Deciding to just ditch the towel, he set it on the counter revealing his neck and how it was perfectly shaped around her legs. Just before he reached her hips, she slipped a hand over her crotch and as he swallowed again, her hips, and hand became perfecting visible in his neck. It was obvious that she was trying to play with herself some more and the cameras all focused in on that view as Dexter gave another swallow.\n\nHe easily took her stomach into his mouth, and then her breasts. She gasped and moaned out delighted with his tongue once again teasing her breasts before all that was left was just her head and an arm. \"My name is Glacia, a gardevoir who loves her master and has readily agreed to be his meal as often as he so desires.\" Glacia just barely managed the phrase, between her moans and gasps of pleasure before Dexter swallowed one more time, now only her one hand was out of his mouth. Most of Glacia's body was now visible in his neck, from her head down to her waist but with the next swallow her body quickly vanished as his stomach bulged, his pet now inside his stomach.\n\n\"And what a delightful meal she was folks.\" Dexter smiled wiping a large sum of glazing off his lips and chin. \"I personally highly recommend gardevoirs as pets for their playful moods and wonderful taste.\" Dexter bowed his head and the lights dimmed showing the machamp once again.\n\nThe machamp smiled. \"It has been a wonderful start of our second season and we still have plenty more recipes to come. If you really want a personal copy of tonight's recipe, you can look up online at the web address posted below.\" He smiled and bowed his head before looking back at the camera. \"And remember folks, only pets who have given their willing consent are open as meals and it is highly preferred that you have a Dark Jewel on hand to give them before eating them.\"" } ]

Where's the nearest fucking bathroom!!!\" he roars.\n\nHe runs around a corner leaping over a small squirrel girl playing with a hula hoop, dodges an elderly lizard man with a cane and rushes across a busy street and into a super market and runs to the restroom and locks the door to his stall. Little does he know that he accidentally runs into a women's bathroom.\n\nIn the store, in the female clothing department, a female tiger morph name Rasha was wearing a black mini skirt and black bra was talking to a lemur woman in a blue two piece outfit.\n\n\"Hey!\" the lemur girl picking out a pink thong and bra. \"This would look good on you Rasha.\"\n\nRasha stares at her and says \"That thong would be probably be too tight in my ass and that bra would barely fit these E cups!\"\n\n\"It will be good for tonight's show.\"\n\n\"Ok\" Rasha sighs as she grabs the outfit and stares at it. \"Hold it for me. I need to use the restroom.\"\n\nMeanwhile, Niner is in the bathroom sighing as he releases his bladder singing \"Oh I am the doggie man barking in here and there!!\"\n\nHe continues to sing as he finishes up and was about to zip up his pants when he decide to jack off. He pulls out a nude bunny girl picture out of his pocket and started to massage his sheath with his left hand.\n\n\"They where not kidding when they say a man's best friend is his dog and his hand! I [-]4v3 d4 p0w3r!\" he mutters to himself in leet as he pants and beat off faster as the pink tip of his penis started to poke out of his sheath until it was 8 inches long and a knot was forming a the base of it. He howls as he is finally reached his orgasm and sprays the stall door with his cum. He reaches for a roll of toilet tissue to clean up the mess. As he leaves the stall he notices a tampon dispenser on the wall.\n\n\"What is that doing in here!!!? It shouldn't be in here unless.....oh shit. I am in the women's bathroom!!!!\" he explains to himself as reality sinks in his head as the bathroom door slowly opens up. \"FUCK!!!!!\" he thinks to himself as he runs into a stall locking the door as Rasha enters the bathroom.\n\n\"The hell? Is anybody here?!\" she says as she walks into the bathroom. \"I knew I heard someone and why does it smell like sex in here?\" she said as she made her way towards the stall.\n\nNiner peeks through the cracks of the door as Rasha came closer to the stall he was in. \"Oh shit! Oh shit!!!\" he thinks to himself as the muscular tiger girl stops in front of the stall he was in.\n\n\"Alright! Who's in here??!\" Rasha growls as she bangs on the door \"Are you having sex in there!!!\"\n\nNiner panics when she said \"You got to the count of three to get out or I am kicking the door in!!!\"\n\nNiner looks around a finds a way to get out in one piece. Rasha finally kicks in the door and sees no one. \"Damn!! I must be going crazy.\" she replies as she pulled down her underwear and sat down on the toilet.\n\nLittle does she knows Niner was right above her gripping a corner of the stall with his limps slowly inching his way to the other stall. He leaps down in the stall and walks out towards the door. \"Man, she's hot!!\" he thinks to himself as he was about to open the door and steps on a soda can with a loud crunch. \"Son of a bitch!!!\" he says as the stall door is knocked open and Rasha rushes out and glares at Niner.\n\n\"You were peeking on me!!!!\" Rasha says as Niner whimpers and rushes out the door.\n\n\"Come here so I can neuter you!!!\"\n\nNiner runs down an aisle of can goods with Rasha hot on his tail. She tackles him into a can fruit tower and starts to pummel him with her fists. Niner punches her in her stomach as she was about to claw his face and throws her off. He stumbles to his feet as a male fox in store uniform walks up to him.\n\n\"Are you going to pay for that!\" the fox boy yells at Niner as he was trying to run until Rasha leaps to her feet and charges at him throwing a punch at him.\n\n\"Sorry about this buddy!\" Niner cries as he grabs the tod and places him in front of Rasha and taking the punch that sends the tod cart wheeling in the air crashing into a bread rack. \"Fuck!!She...is.... trying.... to..... kill.... me!\" Niner says in his best William Barkman's voice in Star Bark. \"Time to get the secret weapon!\"\n\nHe dashes off dodging the other customers while Rasha took the high road running on top the merchandise aisle hot on his tail.\n\n\"You can't escape me!!!\" Rasha roars as she throws a large detergent bottle at Niner. He dodges the projectile as it flew over his head and hits an elderly sheep woman up side her head knocking her out.\n\n\"You killed grandma!\" Niner yells as the other customers runs panicking and screaming.\n\n\"Hold still and I wouldn't have to worry about it you sick bastard!!!!\" Rasha yells as she throws a iron at Niner hitting him in his back. Niner yelps in pain as he turns to a beverage aisle looking for a certain energy drink.\n\n\"No...no...no...hah!! There's my Red Squirrel Energy Drink!\" he howls victorious as he grabs a 12 pack and runs as Rasha is hot on his tail when she hears the lemur girl calling her name.\n\n\"Rasha!!\"\n\n\"Damn!!! You lucky this time doggie!!!\" she yells as she stalks off. Niner let's out a breath of relief as he goes to the cashier and pays for the 12 pack and leaves the store.\n\nThe End.\n\nBah! I'm just fucking with you!! The fight's just getting started!!\n\nLater, that night Niner meets up with two of his friends outside a strip club called \"Nasty Vixen\". One was a male red squirrel morph wearing a blue fish net shirt and purple jeans with chains. His name was Jax. The other was a male raccoon wearing a neon blue shorts and shirts. His name was Rex.\n\n\"Hey! Niner! How did that tiger girl at the store treat you?\" Rex said jokingly\n\n\"Fuck!! 5[-]3 got 50m3 i55u335!\" Niner retorts.\n\n\"At least she was a hottie!\" Jax said.\n\n\"Yeah! 0n P.M.5!!!\"\n\n\"Stop with the leet talking and get rid of that 12 pack Red Squirrel Niner!!!\" Rex responds.\n\n\"N3v3r\"!!!!!\n\nThe trio enters the club and sees everyone having a good time. One corner, an orgy was going on with a blue lizard girl getting double penetrated by two ocelot males on a pink silk, king size bed . In another corner, a skunk girl was being anal fucked by a bull on a red heart shaped bed. Everyone was just having sex all over the place.\n\n\"84[-]!!! It's too crowded in here! Let's pay for three private rooms!\" Niner\n\nhowls.\n\nRex pays the nude panther girl. \"Which girls do you three want to mate with?\" the panther girl replies.\n\n\"Lemur! I heard they were real flexible in bed!\" Rex yells.\n\n\"Vixen!\" the squirrel boy says.\n\n\"Well, give me some feline. I want some pussy!!\" Niner snickers.\n\nThe trio went off to their individual rooms. Niner was sitting in a blue hazed room with silk covering the huge light blue bed. Niner grabs a wine bottle and glass from a stand by the bed. He pops the cork and pores some in a glass. A few seconds later, the door open and a dark female figure walks seductively towards the bed. Niner sniffs in her scent deeply.\n\n\"Hmmm...you smell nice.\" Niner says as his pants grew 3 sizes too small.\n\n\"Why thank you.\" the feline replies.\n\n\"Hehehehe. You make think about that cute tiger girl I ran into today.\"\n\n\"Oh. Really?\" she remarks as the tone in her voice changes.\n\n\"Yeah, I accidentally ran into the women's bathroom and from there everything went to hell when she walked in.\"\n\n\"Was she wearing a black bra and skirt?\" she growls.\n\n\"Yes, she was!!!How do you know?\" Niner says as he down a Red Squirrel drink.\n\n\"MAYBE BECAUSE IT WAS ME!!!!\"\n\nNiner sputters as he looked closely at the figure to see an angry Rasha glaring at him in a black thong and bra twitching her tail. \"OH SHIT!!!!!\" he yells as he grabs three more energy drinks and downs them one after another.\n\n\"That's right bitch boy and now I am going to get my revenge!!!!\" she roars as she lunges at Niner knocking him to his back straddling his torso punching him repeatly as her breasts slaps him in his face.\n\n\"Smite me again!! Smith me again!!!\" he yells as the energy drink slowly kick in.\n\nThis only make her infuriates her she grabs him and throws him into a wall. Then things went from crazy to insane.\n\n\"I [-]4v3 t[-]3 p0w3r!! Ph34r m3!!\" he says as he pushes Rasha backwards and kicks in her stomach cause her to buckle over and gasp. Rasha recover quickly and grabs Niner as he tries to dash pass her and slams his head through a wall. In the next room, the raccoon male was cuddling with a lemur girl on the bed when Niner head pops through the wall over their heads.\n\n\"The fuck Niner!!!?? What are you doing???!!!\" Rex yells as the lemur girls screams and runs out the room.\n\n\"Remember that girl I told you about?? Well she works here and now she's kicking my ass.\" Niner hollers.\n\nSudden he is forced through the wall and bounces off the bed as Rex turn around to stare at the hole in the wall and sees Rasha stepping through onto the bed.\n\n\"You pissed a tiger off!!!!????\" Rex yells.\n\n\"Yep.\"\n\nRex leaps out of the way as Rasha charges at Niner. Niner sees an unopen wine bottle on the floor picks it up and slams it on top of Rasha's skull as she got close stunning her. He then pushes her back and drops kick her through a wall into the main lobby upsetting several patrons.\n\n\"Wait. Don't run. This is only the beginning!!!\" he yells as he leaps through the hole into the lobby. He looks around not seeing her and decides to try the other rooms. He kicks in the first door to see Jax strapped down on the bed with a vixen dominatrix in a black outfit beating him on his ass with a whip.\n\n\"Niner! Get out!! I am busy here!!\n\n\"Yikes!!\" Niner replies as he closes the door. \"Now let's try door number 2!!!\" he yells as he kicks down the door to see two green lizards girls on the bed in a 69 position giving each other oral sex. \"5w33t!!!I got to come to this room later.\" he says as he closes the door and tries a third door. \"Third time the charm!!!\" he cries as he kick down the third door to see a tod being fudge packed by a black wolf. \"My eyes!!! My eyes!!!\" he cries as he runs out the room face first into Rasha's E cup breasts.\n\n\"Oh 5[-]it!!! 4mbu5[-]!!!\" he cries as she punches him in the face sending him sailing backwards into Rex who just happens to be in the area.\n\n\"Medic!!!\" Rex yells as Niner recovers and pick up a metal folding chair.\n\n\"I am going to do 3d10 damage to your face with the folding chair!!!\" Niner yells as he charges Rasha.\n\n\"YOU WON'T DARE!!!\" she yells and ended up being smacked on top of her skull. Niner jaws dropped to the floor as she shakes the effects off and growls at him.\n\n\"Holy shit! How much hit points do you have!!!???\" Niner yells as Rasha starts to stalks towards him and suddenly her eyes glazes over as she sniffs the air deeply. Niner was confused until he sniffs an unmistakable scent of a female in heat. \"No! No!! Shit!!! Not good!!! Ahhhh!!!!!\" Niner cries as Rasha purrs and tackles him to the floor ripping his clothes off in the process. The other patrons and workers see this and run out the club.\n\n\"Help!!! Rex!!\" Niner cries as he is being dragged off to a room.\n\n\"No way!!! She would rape me instead of you.\"\n\n\"Then get Jax!!!\"\n\n\" He was the first one out the door and I am about to leave. Here! You're gonna need this!\" Rex yells as his toss a bag to Niner.\n\n\"This is catnip!!!\"\n\n\"I know.\"\n\n\"No!!!!! I won't be able to walk for two weeks after this!!!\" Niner yells as he was drugged into the room and soon the sounds of sex fill the air as well as screaming of pain and pleasure throughout the night and half way through the next day.\n\nWinner: Rasha by rape and with a new boyfriend!\n\nLoser: Niner! In the hospital for two weeks wearing a lower body cast for his dick and balls!!!! And Rasha waiting for him to check out.\n\n\"No more!!! I am still recovering!!!!!\" Niner yells as Rasha carries him out the hospital.\n\nThe end.. for now!!!" } ]

The girls had been enjoying themselves and Steph had been trying out some new tricks. Doctor Kagan was in the middle of a moral dilemma. On one hand his newly grown package was demanding attention and the girls were entering their heat, and it was making it harder for him to think. On the other hand he knew he wasn't supposed to have sex with his patients, especially the ones whose trust he worked for so long to gain.\n\nSteph was in one of her moments of pure bliss. She had just finished having sex with her friends. They didn't do anything while she used one of the abilities she'd been working on. She had filled all of their holes at the same time. She fucked them silly with her tentacles. The very same ones which were now wrapped around them. Danica sucking on one of them as she slept. Steph looked at the woman's face. It was so cute as she suckled on that tentacle, that and it helped drive Steph's bliss as she slowly wormed a tentacle in Danica's slit. Danica writhed in her sleep as she came again. Steph lost count after Danica came four times that night, Steph sighed and withdrew her tentacles, they slowly reformed into her black suit, Danica though whined in her sleep as those wondrous appendages were removed from her.\n\nSteph sighed and curled up in the middle of the three, almost disappointed that she didn't get to sleep in one of them that night. She sighed as she rested her head on one of Launi's plentiful breasts as she went to sleep.\n\nDanica was feeling the affects. She knew that their heat would be rolling around. Launi had already started to slip slightly in her work. More then one of the girls had come out of Launi with a large cock already. Though some of them didn't mind. It was still a surprise though, and there was more then one that wanted it fixed. Nicole was happy to do it though.\n\nThe doctor was noticing as well, it was getting hard to control himself again. With his new package it was getting even harder to not notice. But his mind was still seeing them as the girls he wanted to protect. Not as something he was supposed to have sex with. He sighed, another night eating alone in his room in the main building. The same as it had been since the government first set them up in the deactivated cold war shelter. And now with a private purchaser looking into buying the place and running the research themselves, and the government considering it more and more, he had more things to worry about then his sex life.\n\nDoctor Kagan nearly jumped when he heard his phone ring. He sighed and picked it up. \"Yo.\" He said tiredly into the handset.\n\nThe voice on the other end sounded rather chipper. \"Hey Doctor Kagan, it's Steph!\" She said before waiting.\n\nThe doctor's mood changed slightly. \"Oh, how's it going? Kind of late for scheduling an appointment.\"\n\n\"Well, I was wondering if you would like to come over for dinner tomorrow night. We've been meaning to thank you for all you've done and a nice dinner is the best we can do for now.\"\n\nThe doctor sighed. \"Alright, anything I can bring?\"\n\nSteph smiled on her end of the phone. \"Just yourself, we have everything covered.\"\n\nHenry sighed. \"Well what is the wost that can happen?\" He asked himself at before he knocked on the girls door. He had dressed in a sports jacket and a nice pair of slacks that had been altered for his tail. Despite only having the ears and tail, he still needed to have his clothing altered for him to wear them comfortably. Though he normally didn't let anyone see his tail when he worked. He preferred to keep it hidden so it didn't accidentally knock anything else.\n\nSteph answered the door and quickly let Henry in. The table had been set with candles and the plates and silverware were set out. All the girls were dressed in dresses, though Steph had chosen one of her latex numbers that showed off her curves. Her skin had taken on its ivory color, the black had hidden itself away. She passed almost for normal if it wasn't for the fact that parts of the dress seemed to meld with her skin. Henry smiled looked at the others. The Launi and Danica were were wearing red and green numbers respectively, Nicole was wearing a black dress that was open in the back for her wings. It didn't take long for Henry's sensitive nose to notice the heavy use of perfume and air fresheners.\n\n\"Hello girls. Thanks for having me over tonight.\"\n\nDanica looked him over before smiling. \"We heard you haven't been leaving your room much lately for anything other then work. Even having your food delivered there. That isn't healthy. So we figured we'd have you over for a night.\"\n\nLauni sauntered up and smiled. \"Yeah, especially since you've done so much for us.\"\n\nHenry started to feel something was up. \"Well I was just doing my job. So, what is for dinner?\"\n\n\"Oh, we have some thing special cooked up. Its in the oven, roast beef and special sauce.\" Launi said smiling.\n\nDanica waved him over to the living room, the couch and several chairs were set up. Figuring he'd be safer in a chair he sat down and looked at the appetizers. Crackers and cheese, it wasn't anything special, but then again, he wasn't a connoisseur of finer foods and cheese and crackers were fine for him.\n\n\"So what have you girls been up to since you started your time off?\" Henry said trying to start some conversation.\n\n\"We've been doing the same thing we always do.\" Nicole said as she went and got herself a cracker and put some cheese on it.\n\n\"We've been trying to take over the world.\" Danica said smiling before putting some cheese on a cracker and giving it to Henry.\n\nHenry laughed and then took the cracker. \"Sounds like a plan.\" He said before noticing Danica sitting on the arm of his chair. \"So, been successful yet?\"\n\nLauni sighed. \"No, Steph here keeps interrupting us just as we start planning. She keeps coming up with new things to try.\"\n\n\"Oh, and what is that?\" Henry asked, looking over to the lithe girl.\n\n\"I can fly.\" She said smiling. \"Though it isn't as graceful as Nicole.\"\n\n\"Well you'll have to show me sometime.\" He said as Danica gave him another cracker. \"Danica, you keep feeding me like this and I'll have to go on a diet for a month after this meal.\"\n\n\"But you're already so skinny, we can see your bones.\" Danica said before getting off the arm of the chair and sitting down next to Launi. Nicole excused herself to check on the roast and soon called them in.\n\nThey ate dinner, enjoying each others company in a casual setting instead of the usual doctor patient setting. It wasn't till after dinner that Henry asked. \"What is that smell?\" He asked sniffing the air lightly, his cock was starting to throb as the perfume wore off and the special sauce took its hold.\n\n\"Its us.\" Danica said as she moved up next to him. \"And you are dessert.\" She said before moving him away from the table slightly and putting her hands on his crotch. Feeling his cock she shivered slightly.\n\n\"Wait... I...\"\n\n\"Deserve some release.\" She said as she opened his fly and put her hand in his pants, slowly working his cock as the other three girls moved closer to the two, slowly stripping, Steph's dress slowly withdrawing into her skin, the black taking its place. \"Now be a good fox and keep still while we help you.\" She said as the girls picked him up, and carried him to the bed room, his protests silenced by Danica's lips.\n\nHe was losing himself to their heat, the girls had been planning this, and they were going to give him the time of his life. They stripped him of his clothes, leaving the man who despite his sedate lifestyle was in great shape. He might have been over the age of fifty, but his body didn't show it. Danica smiled and wrapped her tongue around that length, Steph, Nicole and Launi started to rub him down. He groaned as Danica engulfed his length in her soft mouth. Launi moved slightly and started to rub his balls. Nicole and Steph were content to watch for now as the other two girls pleasured the man in front of them.\n\nIt wasn't long before the effort Launi and Danica licking and fondling him made him lose his first load. Danica slurped it down. \"Mm, you taste good.\" She said as she licked her lips.\n\nHenry sighed, despite all his earlier objections he was starting to relax and enjoy the attention. His cock had enjoyed it as well, it was still engorged and ready to go. Launi was the first to mount him. She slowly straddled him and smiled as she rubbed the tip of his shaft along her slit. Mmm'ing as she went to lower herself onto him, taking his length into her tight depths, enjoying the stretch that his member was giving her.\n\n\"It is amazing, I've seen you take people in to here, and yet you are still so wonderfully tight.\" Henry said smiling as he thrust up into Launi who moaned as she was filled so wonderfully.\n\nDanica smiled. \"You should know, we are tight because we want to be.\" She said as she slowly massaged his chest before nipping one of his nipples. Henry cried out, his nipples feeling overly sensitive as she played with his erect nubbins.\n\n\"What are you doing to me?\" He asks as he looks down at his chest watching it slowly balloon out, they were already A cups.\n\n\"Mother said you wanted knowledge. Some of it can only be acquired through experience. So you we are giving it to you.\" Launi said as she rippled her passage over him, those skilled muscles milking his shaft as his thrusts were forgotten as Danica worked on his blossoming chest.\n\nHenry shook his head. \"I didn't expect this...\" He said as he felt his arms being pinned to his sides by Steph. \"What are you going to do to me?\" He asked as his chest continued to bloom.\n\n\"Just help you experience those things.\" Danica said as she started to suckle his nipples again, Henry gasped as he felt something strange, her hand was working his other breast creamy milk coming out of his nipple.\n\n\"Am I?\" Henry gasped, Launi was still working his shaft, slowly rippling over it as she humped him.\n\n\"What? Lactating?\" Danica said smiling. \"You tell me, you are the doctor.\"\n\nHenry gasped as his chest reached B cups. \"I guess... Oh... god...\" He said as he felt his balls start to churn. \"I am going to...\" Before he could finish he felt his balls release their load into Launi's snatch. She clamped down and started to milk him, her orgasm hitting as he came into her.\n\nDanica's attention shifted, she kissed him on his lips. He felt his face start to change, but the kiss felt so good he didn't pay it any mind as her hands kept working his chest. He had stopped caring, he barely noticed Launi pulling off of him as Danica kissed him. Launi lowered herself, taking his half erect length into her moth, her hands roaming his legs and hips, they slowly started to take a more feminine shape as she ran her hands up and down his thighs. Soon it was getting hard to tell Henry was ever a man as his face took on a feminine shape as well, his hair taking on a silver hue as well. The flab and wrinkles of his fifty year old body fading into smooth taut skin as the girls practiced their new found powers on him. It wasn't long before Launi had him back to full strength, Danica lowered herself onto his, or her length. It was getting hard to tell now, his breasts had stopped at a handful at C cups. Launi smiled as she watched her mate couple with the man turned she-male in front of her. She smiled as she concentrated on making the she-male a true hermaphrodite. A slit slowly formed as all the organs formed in her body. Launi smiled as she watched a black tendril ease its way into that slit causing Henry to cry out, hir maiden hood taken quickly and painlessly, she only felt pure pleasure from the sudden invasion of the black tentacle. Launi smiled and slowly lowered herself to Henry's feet, slowly massaging the legs as they furthered change, altering in shape once again, taking on a digitgrade form as a soft silver fur crept up from his feet as Launi changed hir further, it wasn't long before that soft fur covered all of Henry except hir face. A muzzle slowly formed as shi felt hirself approaching that edge once more, Steph thrust into her once more, setting off her first female orgasm, the pleasure from that combined with the tightness of Danica's cunt rippling over him as she humped hir set off hir male orgasm as the fur covered the muzzle that grew out of Henry's feminine face.\n\nThe new silver fox hermaphrodite slumped, the black tendrils removing themselves from her wrists and new slit. Danica got up off the tool that just filled her to the brim with its seed. Danica and Launi laid down next to the tired out fox. \"You enjoy that Henrietta?\"\n\nThe fox just smiled goofily. \"It was amazing...\" Shi said as shi basked in the after glow.\n\n\"You know that was just the first round?\" Launi said smiling. \"We still have more information to give you.\"\n\nHenrietta looked at her. \"You mean there is more?\"\n\n\"Lots. You wanted to know how we work, how it feels and all that, right?\" Danica said before tweaking one of Henrietta's new breasts.\n\n\"Yeah...\" Shi replied in a haze as pleasure shot through her again. The feelings still new, still fresh still foreign.\n\n\"Well spread them.\" Danica said as she moved to Henrietta's crotch. \"And we'll let you experience it all.\" She said as she spread the legs of the new herm, her tongue seeking out the new clit, lapping at it before nipping it lightly, causing the fox below her to squirm and moan, hir voice sounding every bit as feminine as shi looked.\n\nLauni moaned herself, Steph working her tendrils into her. Nicole was squirming silently as she was penetrated by Steph's skilled appendages. Steph herself was in her lamia form, the black pulled away from her top half, leaving he naked, the tendrils were extending from around her waist, looking much like a skirt of snakes, Her hands were busy playing with herself as she pleasured two girls at once, her left hand playing with her pale breast as her right thrust itself in and out of her black folds. Her tendrils had thrust themselves deep into Nicole whose wings were spread out beneath her as she was fucked to Pluto and beyond by the squirming and wriggling appendages. Launi was moaning as she felt herself being drawn closer to Steph by the tendril in her passage. \"Getting ready?\" Launi moaned before kissing Steph who just nodded as she fucked the two girls by her senseless as Danica worked on Henrietta's new slit.\n\nHenrietta groaned as she felt something bigger then she previously experienced enter her. Danica was smiling, her fist entering the tight passage, she began to work her arm in deeper, stretching out the new herm's passage as she fisted hir. It wasn't long at all, Danica barely started to withdraw her arm to prepare it to thrust again when Henrietta came, her member spewing seed as she dragged Danica into hir. Danica smiled, knowing what was happening she put in her left arm and let that passage drag her in.\n\nLauni came as she watched Danica get swallowed by Henrietta's new pussy. The tendril in Launi had been hitting that magic spot, Nicole was in the same situation she had already had three previous orgasms thanks to Steph's skilled ministrations with her appendages. And with each orgasm Steph gave those two it seemed her tail grew a little, it might of only been inches but it was noticeable to anyone paying close enough attention.\n\nHenrietta noticed what was happening to herself and Danica as Danica reached her waist, Henrietta's belly was already big enough for a full term with twins and it kept growing as Danica was pulled in. When those lips finally closed around Danica's feet Henrietta came again, moaning as shi rubbed hir distended belly. \"That feels amazing.\" Shi said in the afterglow.\n\nLauni laughed as she Steph removed the tendrils from her, the assault on Nicole didn't stop, in fact it only got better for Nicole who was working her way towards a fourth and maybe a fifth as Steph moved over to kiss her. \"You are going to have to give her to me for what comes next though.\" Launi said to the disappointed looking Henrietta.\n\n\"But... it feels so good...\"\n\n\"You'll enjoy the next part better. Mother wants Steph to share with you.\"\n\nHenrietta moaned as she felt Steph move around in side of hir. \"You mean...\"\n\n\"Yep, but first I want Danica back.\" She said as she moved to once again mount that rigid shaft, its shape had changed though. It no longer was the large human tool, it had gained the look of a true fox's cock. A large one at that, it was now topping just about 24 inches and Launi was moaning as she took it all in her on the first try. She hilted the cock in herself.\n\nHenrietta moaned, \"H-how do I do tha- ha!\" She moaned again as Launi started to grind their hips together.\n\n\"Just think about it, when when you cum, it'll happen.\" She said smiling as she started to lift up, her hand on Henrietta's stomach, rubbing it before she started her down stroke, Henrietta raised to meet her. The two started a slow rhythm.\n\nSteph watching as Nicole started to eat out Steph's black flower. Steph pressing Nicole's face into her cunt, the black covering her hands looking like she was wearing gloves. Steph's tendrils had receded back into her body, but her tail tip replaced the one in Nicole's cunt, the two enjoying the pleasure as Launi and Henrietta screwed each other.\n\nIt was almost a half hour later when Henrietta came, the bulge in hir stomach moved towards hir crotch before moving up hir cock into Launi's waiting womb. The act itself caused Henrietta to nearly black out from the pleasure. Launi's stomach was once again bloated out as she enjoyed Danica's form moving around within her, Launi slowly removed herself from Henrietta's now spent tool.\n\n\"That... indescribable...\"\n\nLauni just smiled. \"That is why we had to let you experience it. Now, I think Steph is just about ready.\" She said as both Henrietta and herself turned to watch Steph and Nicole finish up. Nicole had been keeping Steph on the edge and finally with a quick thrust of her tongue into those black satin folds pushed Steph over the edge as her tail thrust itself deep into Nicole one last time before they saw it vibrate as it pumped its load into Nicole.\n\nNicole sadly disentangled herself from the lamia that had been pleasuring her since Launi and Danica started on Henrietta. \"Its time Steph.\" She said simply before Steph silently slithered up to Henrietta.\n\n\"You are getting all these gifts, you have earned them.\" She said before slowly pressing the foxes muzzle to her slit. \"Now please.\"\n\nThe fox gave a slight lick tasting the black void in front of hir, shi found the taste to remind hir of licorice and the girls feminine juices, sweet, tangy, bitter, all rolled into one that shi decided was good enough to keep licking, and lick she did until she felt the tail tip enter hir own well used passage, shi moaned into the opening in front of hir as shi felt it start to envelope hir muzzle. Steph was smiling, it was her first time taking someone inside of her, and she was taking it slowly, her tail was pushing Henrietta in to her, in time with her thrusts into the herm. The two enjoyed the feelings as Henrietta continued to lick the tunnel she found herself entering as she was in turned fucked. It was nearly a half an hour later and countless orgasms for both when she reached the herm's feet. Launi and Nicole had been pleasuring each other as they watched the ivory and obsidian girl swell up, her ivory stomach had grown as she consumed the fox through her hungry cunny, and with one last mind blowing orgasm for both her tail tip left her cunt as the foxes feet were lost from sight.\n\nNicole and Launi curled up against the bloated snake girl, none of them said anything as they rubbed the girls stomach. They knew that Henrietta would never be the same after this night, and they knew she would thank them for it." } ]

This is what happened after Michael and Suzie began to actually enjoy their day at the beach. So...you might want to read that first....if you haven't already) George was living the dream that many in the world were truly envious of.\nAs a youth, he had worked at the Warner Brothers' studios in Burbank, starting as a gopher (Go for coffee, go for food, etcetera). As the years progressed, he received on-the-job training and learned how to handle motion picture camera and sound-recording equipment, working on the sets with all of the Hollywood legends. He was often found running errands for Marilyn Monroe or Cary Grant, and secretly he lusted after voluptuous on-set vixens such as Jane Mansfield or Jane Russell. He worked behind the camera for some of Russ Meyer's breast-obsessed movies in the 1960's and 70's. Eventually he worked his way up to directing and producing, becoming a Tinsel Town legend of his own caliber. Now, well into his retirement years, he was on the top of the heap. A mansion in the Hollywood Hills area was his lasting legacy, situated on prime real estate on the slope of Mount Lee, just below the greenery of Griffith Park (with its famous observatory), overlooking stretching expanse of the most expense and sought-after land in the world. From his garden, his guests could look up and see the white towering letters of the infamous 'Hollywood' sign. George could swim in his backyard pool, or be found entertaining many of movie industry's elites as the lights eliminated the well-known landmark as the sun set in the west. What more could he ask for?\nIt was on a warm Saturday afternoon, while sitting in the shade of some tall palm trees next to his pool, that George's peaceful day was interrupted. His wife, Myrna (his fourth wife, after three divorces and one death under suspicious circumstances), was enjoying a tall glass of iced tea in her floral-print bathing suit while sitting poolside dipping her toes into the water. George sat in his cushioned chaise lounge chair, reading a book, feeling a light breeze ruffle his thinning hair as it blew in from the ocean to the west. He watched his wife as she lightly kicked her feet through the water, sending surface ripples across the pool. With all of the plastic surgery he had paid for, her tummy-tucks, facelifts, and breast implants, Myrna looked like the voluptuous vixens he had drooled over in his youth, appearing twenty years younger than she actually was. And with that illusion of youth, Myrna brought the youthful energy into their bedroom, which, at seventy-seven years old, he couldn't keep up with her without the help of weekly testosterone shots and a perpetual prescription of his old pal Viagra. Today, George thought that his wife looked rather ravishing in her flower-adorned one-piece swimsuit, and soon was wondering where he left his bottle of little blue pills for use later. It was at this point that he first heard the noise. With all the trees surrounds so many of the mansions of the right and famous in the area, even the sounds of the distant highways and freeways that crisscrossed the Los Angeles valley were kept to a minimum. So what the couple heard at first, a high-pitched squeal that seemed to come from above them, was not immediately noticed or recognized. When Myrna heard it again, she thought it was the cry of a wandering seagull. But as the sound got closer, the sound morphed away from the call of a bird into what was more like the panicked screams of a woman. Confused, both George and Myrna jumped to their feet, their eyes searching the expanse of the mansion grounds for the source of the cries but finding nothing. George reached for his cell phone on the outdoor table next to his chair to call the police, when Myrna yelled, \"Look!\"\nThere, twenty feet above them, was a source of the screaming. A woman, her lithe, youthful body clad only in what looked like a blue bikini bottom, was drifting eastward with the afternoon breeze. They could see raven-black hair billowing around bare well-tanned shoulders, and her mocha-colored arms and legs flailed around angrily in the air. Her back was turned to them as she drifted closer, so she hadn't seen the couple yet. As George squinted at the curious sight, he noticed that she looked like she was suspended under two light brown oversized balloons that looked like they were attached to her chest. \"Help me!\" she screamed again, followed by a string of curses in Spanish. Kicking her legs about wildly, she slowly twisted around in the air, twirling herself in a lazy circle as she floated by. That was when the earth-bound couple saw that she wasn't actually attached to a matching set of beachball-sized balloons. \"Holy shit!\" Myrna exclaimed, pointing. \"Those are her tits!\"\nThe Latina heard the woman below her, turned her head away from her boob-balloons, and bellowed, \"Hey, I need some help!\"\n\"What can we do?\" George yelled back.\nThe blue-clad woman had drifted half-way across the yard, and was almost directly above them. \"Do you have a rope or anything like that? Or maybe something that you can through to me to at least weigh me down so I don't float away?\"\nGeorge and Myrna quickly scanned the poolside area. All that was there were full planter pots and heavy outdoor furniture. Nothing that they could toss that high up to her to assist her descent back to solid ground. The woman was floating higher than their trees, so she couldn't reach and anchor herself on them either. \"Sorry, but I don't think we have anything that could help you,\" Myrna apologized. \"I can't believe it!\" the Latina screamed. \"You stupid people don't have anything that...\"\n\"Oh, shut up, Esparanza!\" came another voice. George turned slightly right, and found another curious sight. A blonde woman, this one with the remnants of a torn red one-piece swimsuit hanging off of her hips, was also floating above them, some thirty feet behind the other one, pushed by the same breeze in parallel course. She too dangled below a pair of flesh-toned blimps protruding from her chest, her aureoles stretched and dark against her pale skin, pointing resolutely skyward above her. \"This is all your fault.\"\n\"How is this my fault?\" the first asked the second, folding her arms defiantly under her chest balloons. \"Because the lady who gave us that breast enhancement lotion told you not to use too much of it on yourself, and you didn't listen,\" Blondie shot back.\n\"Amanda, when we get down on the ground, I'm am going to kick your ass!\" Esparanza yelled. \"If you are so smart, how did you get to be blown up with a pair of tit-blimps just like me?\"\n\"Because I was stupid enough to follow your example,\" Amanda countered. \"You just had to insult her, after almost denting their car, and then you took that lotion from her, and all because you wanted bigger tits...\"\nThe airborne argument continued on as the pair drifted over the treetops at the edge of the property. The two women were still screaming at each other as they caught a slight updraft and rose up the hill, floating close to the Hollywood sign and beyond. George and Myrna continued their confused vigil, watching the inflated women drift up above the treetops of the Santa Monica Hills until they were just specks in the distance. \"Well, that was unexpected,\" Myrna just blinked, stunned, her iced tea slowing melting in her hand. \"They sure had big tits,\" was all George could think of saying. He sat back down, opened up his book, and began reading again, as if nothing had happened. \"That's Hollywood for ya.\"\n" } ]

A PokÃ©mon Master.\n\nPart 1\n\nIt was a typical day, 8am, and Ash Ketchum was still asleep in bed. He was supposed to become a PokÃ©mon trainer today. As he slept, he dreamt about walking back through Victory Road, having defeated the Elite Four using one of the three PokÃ©mon he was to gain that day; Bulbasaur, Squirtle or Charmander. Grass, Water or Fire type PokÃ©mon.\n\nJust as typically, Ash woke up, late and panicking that he wasn't going to get one of the PokÃ©mon he'd longed for. He got up as fast as he could, not even bothering to get dressed or eat breakfast, and ran out his house in just his PJs. His mother called after him, but he didn't listen as usual.\n\nUpon arriving at Professor Oak's laboratory, he noticed a huge crowd had gathered. As he pushed his way through the crowd, he scowled as he noticed Gary.\n\nGary smirked as he saw Ash. As usual, the cheerleaders were chanting their usual chant about Gary. Ash almost seemed to pout as he'd been trying to sneak past without being seen.\n\n\"The early bird gets the worm, Ash.\" Was all Gary said, that same arrogant smirk on his lips. \"And looks like you're ready for bed, never mind a PokÃ©mon.\" He spun his PokÃ©ball on his finger, grinning.\n\nOnce he left, Professor Oak left the laboratory, laughing softly. \"You sure you're ready for a PokÃ©mon Ash?\" He asked.\n\n\"Of course I'm ready!\" Ash replied, raising his fist in determination. Professor Oak chuckled.\n\n\"This way then.\" He said, leading Ash into the lab. On a table in the middle of the room were three PokÃ©balls. Each one contained a different PokÃ©mon.\n\nAsh looked to Professor Oak, and then looked back to the PokÃ©balls on the table. He reached out, picking one up, his heart beating faster in his chest.\n\n\"Just press the button in the middle of the ball to release the PokÃ©mon.\" Oak explained.\n\n\"I choose you, Bulbasaur!\" Ash cried, pressing the button on the PokÃ©ball. The ball opened, but nothing came out. \"Wha?!\"\n\n\"Already taken by a PokÃ©mon trainer who was early.\" Professor Oak said, his arms behind his back in his usual stance.\n\nAsh sighed, putting the ball back, before picking up another one. \"I choose you, Squirtle!\" Again, the ball opened, but nothing came out. \"Again?!\"\n\n\"Again taken by a trainer who was early.\" Professor Oak yet again explained.\n\nSighing again, Ash put down that ball and picked up the last one. \"Well this one HAS to have a PokÃ©mon in!\" He decided. \"I choose you, Charmander!\" But yet again, nothing.\n\n\"But I have to have a PokÃ©mon!\" Ash whined. \"Please, tell me you have more!\" He pleaded, looking to Professor Oak.\n\n\"Well there is one more PokÃ©mon. But it's still in the works and isn't the best choice.\" The professor replied.\n\n\"I don't care, I'll take it!\" Ash declared before Professor Oak could even finish his sentence. Professor Oak sighed and took out a remote control. \"Well, if you insist.\" He said, pressing a button as another PokÃ©ball descended into the middle of the table.\n\nAsh picked it up, excited, and quickly pressed the button to open it. \"I choose you, PokÃ©mon!\" He cried.\n\nA Pikachu appeared in the middle of the table in a flash of bright light. \"Pika\\~\" It said softly, its ears twitching.\n\n\"That is a female Pikachu, Ash. She's still not fully tame, so please be careful.\" Oak said, worried. Pikachu tilted her head, just watching Ash. She went over to him, but didn't try to attack him. Ash reached out his hand, petting her head. He smiled as she nuzzled him.\n\nThey were going to get on just fine, he decided. He picked his Pikachu up as she snuggled into him, and he started to walk outside.\n\n\"Hey, Ash, wait!\" Professor Oak ran after him as he turned around. \"Don't forget your PokÃ©dex and PokÃ©balls!\"\n\nAsh blinked and took them. \"Thanks Professor Oak.\" He said, before he exited the lab.\n\nAs soon as he opened the door, he stopped as he noticed his mother there holding a backpack with a rolled up tent on top of it. With her was a crowd just as big as Gary's, along with his own cheerleaders, cheering for him.\n\n\"Oh, Ash, I'm so proud of you!\" Delia Ketchum gushed. \"Getting your first PokÃ©mon! Oh, it's so cute!\" She reached out, petting the Pikachu, who made a content noise.\n\nAsh pouted. \"Mom! Stop embarrassing me!\" He protested.\n\nDelia handed him his backpack. \"Right, we're going home and you're getting dressed before you even THINK about going on your journey, mister!\" She said, turning into â€˜mom mode'.\n\nAsh's sweat dropped. \"Yes Mom...\" He said as he took the backpack, carrying it as he followed Delia back home.\n\nPikachu rested on Ash's shoulders as they walked home. She looked around, curious about where she was going, her ears perked up. Ash laughed when Pikachu moved to sit on his head, and he reached his hand up, tickling her gently.\n\nOnce they reached the Ketchum residence, Ash ran upstairs to his room. He opened his door and went inside, letting Pikachu leap onto the bed. She tilted her head, watching him curiously as he got out some clothes from his chest of drawers.\n\nAsh took off his pyjamas, before he paused as he heard a soft noise behind him. Turning around, he watched as his Pikachu slowly changed in front of him. She grew, becoming more human-like. She kept her ears and her tail from her PokÃ©mon form, though.\n\nShe was a golden yellow all over her body, her fringe slightly spiky and fluffed up. Her long, chest-length hair was a soft pale blonde, her cheeks bearing those same red circles as in her PokÃ©mon form. Pale blonde fur covered her chest and crotch area as well as her butt.\n\nAsh's jaw just dropped open as he stared, transfixed by the naked PokÃ©mon in front of him.\n\n\"Hello, Ash.\" She cooed, her legs crossed, but she leaned back on her hands, watching him with half-lidded eyes.\n\n\"P... P-P-Pikachu?!\" Ash stammered, not sure what to say. However, it was safe to say he clearly enjoyed it as he had a large erection at the sight before him.\n\n\"Yes, it's me...\" Pikachu got to her feet, slowly moving over to him, before gently placing her finger under his chin. \"But you can call me Olivia.\" With that, she pushed his jaw shut, and then kissed him deeply on the lips, closing her eyes.\n\nAsh stood there, frozen in shock for a good few moments, before he slowly started to respond to Olivia's kiss. He let out a quiet moan into her mouth as her tongue entered.\n\nOlivia slowly broke off, taking hold of Ash's hands as she moved backwards towards the bed. She turned and pushed him down onto his back, smiling at the gasp this drew from her trainer's lips.\n\nMoving down, she kissed him once more, moaning a little as Ash's hand timidly touched her large breast. \"Ash...\" She murmured, but took hold of his hand. \"Not yet...\"\n\nShe moved down further, kissing gently down his naked chest, before pausing at his abdomen. She took his erection into her hand, stroking it slowly, grinning at the soft moan that brought from Ash. Clearly, he liked that.\n\nDeciding to tease a bit, she stroked him ever so gently, kissing his inner thighs around his erection, kissing his balls a bit, too, but not once letting her lips touch his actual erection.\n\nAsh breathed slowly and deeply, letting his eyes slide closed as Olivia teased him. He knew better than to interrupt her, though; she obviously knew what she was doing, whereas he had no clue, being a virgin.\n\n\"Please... Olivia...\" He almost whimpered, wanting her to do more, his erection leaking a little bit of pre-cum.\n\nOlivia grinned more as she heard Ash's plea. She leaned up, licking up the bit of pre-cum from the tip, before she took the head into her mouth, sucking and licking gently at it. She knew better than to do it all at once or he'd cum too soon.\n\nBut being the mischievous PokÃ©mon that she was, she removed her hand, deep throating his entire erection once, revelling in the sharp, whimpering cry it drew from Ash.\n\nShe giggled a little as she pulled back, licking her lips. \"Not yet.\" She purred, moving up over him so she was straddling him. \"I want all 8 inches of you inside me.\"\n\nWith that, Olivia lowered herself as she spread her lower lips, sliding his cock inside her. She moaned softly, leaning her head back, soon seating herself fully on top of him.\n\nAsh leaned his head right back, gripping at the bed sheets as he felt himself sliding into her. \"Ah... Olivia!\" He whimpered.\n\n\"Shh.\" She murmured, leaning down and kissing him. \"You don't want your mother hearing us, do you?\" Leaning back up, she started to slowly move herself on top of him, lifting her hips, and then moving back down onto him again.\n\nAsh slowly started moving his own hips, thrusting up into her as he held onto her waist, moaning and panting in pleasure. \"Oh, Olivia,\" He moaned over and over, inexperienced, but trying his best to please her.\n\nOlivia was panting, herself, moving up and down on his cock. She moved one hand up from his abdomen, rubbing her breast and pinching her nipple as she moaned in pleasure. \"Ash... Cum in me, please. I need it...\" She pleaded him as she became hornier.\n\nAsh, now incredibly turned on, couldn't help but obey her. \"O-Olivia, I'm cumming!\" He cried out, arching his back sharply as his cum flowed into the PokÃ©mon.\n\nOlivia whimpered as she trembled, crying out, herself. She came around him, shaking slightly as she tightly shut her eyes. \"Ash!\"\n\nThe door suddenly flew open. \"ASH KETCHUM, WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!\" Came a very familiar voice.\n\n\"MUM!\" Ash's eyes shot open as he suddenly sat up, his face red with embarrassment. Olivia gasped, quickly shifting off Ash and sitting next to him, startled.\n\n\"Ash, what in the world is that?!\" Delia demanded as she placed her hands on her hips. \"Why on earth were you having sex with her? You're only ten years old!\" Needless to say, Delia couldn't help staring at her son's 8 inch cock, surprised at how big it was for his age.\n\n\"Uhm... well... you see...\" Ash stammered, struggling to explain, so was grateful as Olivia stepped in.\n\n\"It's me, Mrs. Ketchum. I'm Ash's Pikachu. I can transform into this form when I become horny or when it's night time.\" Olivia explained. \"It's often how PokÃ©mon bond with their trainers.\"\n\nDelia stared at her, shocked. \"How... they bond with their trainers?\" She spoke quietly, having not expected that at all.\n\nOlivia just nodded. \"It's true. It does not mean we are in love, it is just how we bond or what we do when we become horny.\" She replied, explaining all of this calmly.\n\n\"Well then... uhm, I suppose I should leave you two to get ready for your journey...\" Delia spoke softly, before she turned and left, trying to take in that entire explanation.\n\nAsh sighed. \"Thanks, Olivia.\" He sweat dropped, rubbing the back of his head from embarrassment. He got up, cleaning himself up, before getting dressed and packing a few extra things into his backpack.\n\nOlivia turned back into her PokÃ©mon form, leaping up onto Ash's shoulder. \"Pika!\" She smiled, just resting there.\n\n\"Let's go, Pikachu.\" Ash said, stroking her fur gently, before heading downstairs with her to see his mum one last time.\n\n\"We're going then, mum.\" He said. Delia went over to them, hugging her son, knowing she would miss him just as she missed Ash's father.\n\n\"Be careful out there, son. Come back and visit, won't you?\" She asked, feeling tears form in her eyes. Ash just smiled. \"Of course I will, mum.\" He said, before he turned to leave.\n\n\"Don't forget to change your underwear every day, Ash!\" Delia called as he finally left, and she sighed. \"Just like his father... in more ways than one, I might add.\" She grinned to herself now Ash was gone." } ]

About twenty minutes earlier, he broke up with his boyfriend. This was the seventh time the young fox had broken up with someone within the past two weeks. There was a slightly sad look on his face as we watched the movie, Brokeback Stallion. His roommates, Alex and Nathan, knew he was gay. Nathan was also gay, but he had been in a committed relationship for a few years now. Alex, on the other hand, seemed to be straight, but very unhappy with every girlfriend that he had ever brought home.\n\n\"Hey, Addy,\" Nathan said as he walked in. The wolf was wearing his lion boyfriend's arm around his neck. Adrian looked up but didn't say anything. He just gave a small little wave at the two and went back to watching the movie. \"I'll be right in, Hun,\" Nathan said as he gave the lion a kiss on the cheek and sent him to his room. \"What's wrong, Addy?\"\n\n\"He just wasn't right for me. None of them are right for me. I'm going to be lonely forever, aren't I?\" Adrian said sadly. The wolf sat down next to him and rubbed his back. \"I guess I just want what you have with your boyfriend.\"\n\n\"It took a long time for me to find the sexy beast,\" Nathan said. Just then, Alex walked in. Nathan noticed a small smile on Adrian's face as the other, larger fox walked into the apartment. \"How was your date?\"\n\n\"It was terrible. I mean she had great breasts but her table manners were horrible. And she forced me to pay a $10 tip for a meal that cost $17,\" Alex said as he sat down on Adrian's other side.\n\n\"So, I'm guessing you're not going to see her again, are you?\" the younger fox asked with a smile on his face.\n\n\"No way...So how are thing with you and...what's his name?\" Alex asked. The smiled disappeared before Alex even had a chance to look over. \"Was it that bad? That's the seventh one in the last two weeks. Well, I'm heading to bed,\" he said as he got up from the couch and headed into his bedroom.\n\nThe entire way into his bedroom, Adrian was watching him. Nathan, on the other hand, was watching his younger fox friend. \"You like him,\" Nathan said. Adrian's head spun around and he looked to the wolf sitting next to him. \"The entire way into his room, you were staring at his ass.\"\n\nA slight blush rose on Adrian's face. \"Well...maybe I do...but he's straight,\" the shy little fox said.\n\n\"I don't know about that. He's always talking about how miserable he is with women. Perhaps, he is gay and doesn't know it. I think you should try and get him to like you, Addy,\" the wolf said.\n\nAdrian thought for a minute. It was true that he had had a crush on the year older fox. But how was he going to get him to like him? If he went up to Alex and told him, the older fox would just run away. \"I don't think it will work, Nathan,\" he said.\n\nNathan smiled for a minute. \"I'll be right back. Stay here, cutie,\" he said before he snuck off to his room. Adrian sat there for about five minutes before Nathan finally returned. \"Sorry it took so long. It would have been sooner had my sexy lion not been groping my ass the entire time. This is what I used to get the big sack of sexy I have in my room. I want you to use it as well. It's an old book that has been passed down from gay guy to gay guy. So, take care of it.\"\n\nAdrian smiled as he accepted the book. How to Get the Guy You Like was written on the front. \"Are you sure this will work?\" the shy fox asked.\n\n\"It always works, Addy. But you have to go one step at a time. If you try to skip ahead, he will hate you forever. Do you understand?\" Nathan asked. He was answered with a hug from the fox. \"Good. Now, I've got some sexing to do. If you hear some noises, just ignore them.\"\n\nAdrian nodded as he looked at the book. Nathan went back to his room where Adrian was sure that he and his lion mate were going to fuck all night. The nineteen year old fox opened the cover of the book and noticed the words in the front of the book:\n\nTo those who seek the man they want: Follow these instructions word for word. Each page will lead you to your happiness. So take each page seriously and you shall receive...\n\nAdrian shuddered with excitement as he flipped to the first page and read out loud. \"The way to your man is through your head. If he knows you're gay, he may not mind if you rest your head on his lap. Once he's let you do that for a while, then you may continue with the next step.\" Adrian giggled as he remembered the first time he laid his head on Alex's lap. It was right after his first boyfriend broke up with him. The two of them had been together for a few years, so Adrian was really hurt. Alex knew this and didn't mind letting his gay friend's head on his lap.\n\nAfter that, Adrian would lay his head on Alex's lap if the two of them were watching a movie. Adrian heard Alex's door open and he quickly hid the book. Alex sighed heavily as he sat down on the couch next to the shy fox. Adrian noticed that another movie was starting on HBO. He always got distracted at the end of Brokeback Stallion. The next movie was a horror film, Night of the Undead Foxes. This movie always scared Adrian.\n\n\"Um...Alex...may I rest my head on your lap?\" Adrian asked nervously.\n\n\"I don't see why not. You seem to enjoy it and it keeps my lap warm. Go right head, Addy. Just don't play with anything,\" Alex said.\n\n\"Thanks. This movie always seems to scare me,\" Adrian said as he lay down and stuck his head onto Alex's lap. Alex then did something that surprised Adrian. Alex put began to gently rub the younger fox.\n\n\"Oops...sorry...I guess I have a habit of doing that with girls who rest their head on my lap during scary movies,\" the twenty year old fox said before stopping.\n\n\"It's okay. I don't mind. Please continue,\" Adrian said and Alex went back to gently rubbing him. Alex didn't notice the blush on Adrian's face as he petted his friend.\n\n\\\\\\\n\nFor the following few weeks, every night ended just about the same. Nathan would be sitting in between Adrian and Alex as the three started to watch a movie and within ten minutes of the movie starting, Nathan's boyfriend would show up and the two of them would sit on the ground. Adrian would then lay down with his head on Alex's lap and Alex would pet him.\n\nFinally, Adrian thought it would be time for him to find out the next step. After that first night, he had hidden the book in one of his gay porn books, knowing that Alex wouldn't dare look in there, at least not yet anyways.\n\nAdrian opened up his \"gay\" drawer, as Alex called it, and took out the book. He flipped to the first page. It still read the same thing. He flipped to the next page. \"Now, that he's been letting you rest your head on his lap, he shouldn't mind if you cuddle up to him. Gently rest your head on his chest and continue from there.\"\n\nAdrian quickly hid the book as Alex walked in. \"Hey, we were just about to start watching a scary movie. I know that you don't necessarily like them, but...\" Alex started to say, but was quickly interrupted.\n\n\"I'd love to watch it with you. As long as you don't mind me cuddling into you a little bit. I like scary movies even though they scare me a lot.\" Adrian said to Alex.\n\nThe older fox laughed. \"I guess it would be okay. You can be such a cute fox sometimes, Addy.\"\n\n\"Wait. You think I'm cute?\" Adrian asked.\n\n\"Wait. I didn't mean it like that. I mean...well...you know what I meant,\" the older fox said. There was a slight blush on his face as he started to do a fake laugh but it turned into a real laugh as the younger fox started to laugh as well.\n\nThe two of them walked out to join the lion and wolf who were already watching the movie. Alex sat down and murred softly as he felt Adrian cuddle into his chest. He then resumed the petting that he had always done. There were many times within that movie that Adrian squeezed Alex tightly that rewarded Adrian with a \"murr.\"\n\nBy the end of the movie, Adrian's head was on Alex's shoulder and Alex's arm was around him. Once the movie ended, the two noticed the position they were in and quickly moved to opposite sides of the couch, their faces beet red. Nathan and his boyfriend had gone to their room for some \"cuddling\" halfway through the movie.\n\n\"We...uh...just got caught up in the movie...that's all,\" Alex said nervously.\n\n\"Um...yeah....that's it...\" the younger fox agreed.\n\n\"Well, goodnight.\"\n\n\"Goodnight.\"\n\nThe two foxes went back to their rooms quickly. But it didn't stay that way for long. In the middle of the night, Adrian woke up to Alex crawling into his bed.\n\n\"What are you doing?\" the younger fox asked.\n\n\"Look...I kinda had a nightmare and I need to sleep with someone next to me...and I think that that lion might go and rape me or something. You don't mind, do you?\"\n\n\"No, of course I don't. And I promise not to rape you too.\" Alex giggled a little at the last statement and crawled into bed. The two of them slept happily. Adrian because we was in bed with the guy he liked and Alex because he didn't have any more nightmares.\n\n\\\\\\\n\nFor the next few weeks, whenever they all watched a movie together, Adrian would start off by cuddling into Alex's chest happily and then ended up with his head on Alex' shoulder. Adrian felt it was time to take another look at the book.\n\nNathan had asked the two if he could have the apartment for the evening, so Alex offered to take Adrian to the movies. Before they left, Adrian quickly snuck off to look at the book. It was then that he noticed that the book only had three pages. He flipped to the first page and it still read the same, as did the second page.\n\nAdrian took a deep breath as he flipped to the third page. His eyes widened as he noticed that there were only two words and he smiled as he saw what the two words said.\n\n\"Hurry up, Addy. The movie will start soon.\"\n\n\"Coming, Alex,\" Adrian said as he quickly hid the book again. He ran out to find Alex all dressed up. Adrian blushed as he looked at the handsome fox that stood in front of him.\n\n\"You look good.\"\n\n\"You don't look bad yourself.\"\n\nThe two smiled happily as they went out of the apartment and down to Nathan's car. Neither Alex nor Adrian had a car of their own, so Nathan offered to let them borrow it. Alex was in the driver's seat as they went to the movie theater. Alex paid for their tickets and their food.\n\n\"Why are you paying for my stuff? You know that I have a job too.\"\n\n\"I want to. It's my treat. And I have another treat for you later.\"\n\nAdrian looked over to Alex who was obviously avoiding his gaze as there was a slight blush on his cheeks. The two of them walked into the theater that the movie was playing in and sat down. Alex took the arm rest that was between them and moved it out of the way.\n\n\"I know you like to cuddle,\" Alex said to the younger fox who just giggled and put his head on the older foxes shoulder.\n\nThe two sat there in that position for about half an hour as the movie played. The two of them were getting bored with the movie and both of them obviously wished that they had chosen a different movie to watch. They know knew why they were the only ones in that specific theater, which reminded Adrian of the book.\n\nHe looked over to Alex and Alex noticed out of the corner of his eye. The two of them sat there looking into each other's eyes for a few minutes before either of them said anything.\n\n\"Do I have something on my face?\" Alex asked.\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\n\"What is it?\" Alex asked again.\n\n\"Me,\" Adrian said before he leaned in and kissed the older fox on the lips.\n\nAlex was quite surprised by this movement and quickly moved away. \"Um...I think we should go...\" he said as he got up and Adrian followed with a sad look on his face.\n\nThe book had lied to him. It told him to \"kiss him,\" so that's what he did. He walked about seven paces behind Alex as the two of them went back to the car. As soon as he did, Alex opened up the door to the back seat, which confused Adrian completely.\n\nSuddenly, Alex grabbed Adrian and gently threw him into the back seat. A second later, Alex was on top of Adrian, making out with the surprised fox. Slowly, the young fox began to melt into the kiss and after a few minutes, the two broke the kiss.\n\n\"I don't get it. I thought you didn't like me,\" Adrian said.\n\n\"I do like you. I like you a lot. I just didn't realize it until the first time you cuddled up to me. And to tell you the truth, I was starting to think that you were just being a very cuddly friend and I was going to give up tonight if you hadn't made your move.\"\n\n\"I've liked you for a while, Alex. I've really wanted to be with you, but I thought you were straight.\"\n\nAlex blushed slightly. \"I thought so too. But I finally understand why I was never happy with any of the women that I was with.\"\n\n\"Why is that?\" Adrian asked happily.\n\n\"Because they weren't you,\" Alex replied before kissing Adrian on the lips.\n\nAs they kissed, Alex snuck his hand into Adrian's pants and began to fondle his sheath and balls a bit. He slowly broke the kiss and blushed slightly. \"I can't believe I'm actually doing this.\"\n\n\"Perhaps my bedroom would be a better setting,\" Adrian suggested. Alex smiled and nodded as they climbed into the front seat and Adrian drove home.\n\nThe two of them were kissing the entire way up the stair and into the apartment. They were so into each other that they didn't even notice that Nathan and his boyfriend were in the middle of having sex on the couch.\n\nThe two stumbled into Adrian's room and fell onto the bed as they kissed. They momentarily broke the kiss to take off each other's shirts then they resumed the kiss. As they kissed, they sent their pants flying across the room along with their underwear so that they were completely naked.\n\nAfter a few minutes of nude kissing, Adrian broke the kiss and went over to his...\n\n\"Are you getting something from your 'gay drawer,' Addy?\" Alex asked.\n\n\"Just need some lubrication.\"\n\n\"Wait...this is my first time...I don't think I'm ready for that just yet...\"\n\n\"Who said anything about you? This is for my tail hole,\" Adrian said with a wink. He went back over to the bed and sat down. Alex then smiled as he pulled the slightly smaller fox onto his back and blushed as he looked at the other fox's now hard cock.\n\n\"I can't believe I'm turned on just by looking at your cock,\" Alex said.\n\n\"Um, Alex...before we do anything else, I have a question for you.\"\n\n\"What is it, Addy?\"\n\n\"Um...are you...are you my boyfriend now?\"\n\nAlex smiled before giving the shy fox a lick on the cheek. \"Of course I am. And I don't want any other.\" He then went back down to the cock and licked from the bottom all the way up to the tip and shuddered slightly, hardly believing that he had actually just done that and enjoyed it.\n\nAdrian looked over to Alex's cock and took the entire thing in his muzzle, making Alex gasp and moan out from the sudden warmth of the welcoming muzzle. Alex did his best to take Adrian's cock into his mouth as well and the two began to suck on each other. After a short amount of time, Adrian thought his new boyfriend was ready to fuck him.\n\nAdrian moved his body away from Alex, causing his cock and a whimper to come from the older fox's mouth. Adrian sat up and opened up the bottle of lube. He then squirted some on Alex's cock, causing his boyfriend to shudder slightly as the cold liquid hit his hard member. Adrian smiled as he rubbed the lube all up and down the shaft before he got on all fours and lifted his tail hole up.\n\n\"This is my first time, so please be gently,\" Adrian said with a slight blush on his face.\n\nAlex blushed a little as well and smiled. \"Don't worry. I will be.\" He then took some lube himself and put some on his fingers. Over the past two and a half weeks, Alex had started to watch gay porn in his room. He found that he loved it and he knew that he'd need to know some stuff when this time came. He pushed his lubed up fingers into Adrian's tail hole and made sure that it was well lubed.\n\nAdrian gave out a few pants, murrs, and moans as Alex lubed up his tail hole. He then felt the fingers leave and another warm appendage was soon up against his tail hole as he felt Alex hold onto his hips for support. Adrian shuddered in excitement as he was finally going to lose his virginity; especially since it was to the person he wanted to lose it to.\n\nAlex took in a deep breath. There was no going back now. He slowly pushed his cock into the tail hole of his new lover slowly. He moaned out as he felt how tight the passage was. It felt amazing. He had never had sex with anyone before, and he was glad that Adrian was his first. He slowly bent down and began to nibble a bit on Adrian's neck as he slowly pushed in.\n\nAdrian grunted as he felt some pain as the cock began to enter him. He soon felt Alex stop and realized that he was hilted. \"Stay there for a moment. I need to get used to your size for a second.\"\n\n\"Didn't you stretch out with a dildo or something?\" Alex asked.\n\n\"You're much bigger than any of the dildos I have. You may not be as long, but much, much thicker.\"\n\nAlex blushed before he nuzzled into Adrian's fur. He then reached around and started to paw off the younger fox.\n\n\"O-okay, I think I'm ready,\" Adrian said after a few minutes.\n\nAlex began to slowly pump in and out of the young fox as he continued to paw him off. After a short while, the movements became faster and faster until Adrian was being pawed and fucked a decent rate. Finally, the two moaned in unison as they came. For hours, the two experimented with each other. Alex even tried to take it up the ass once, but as soon as Adrian tried, Alex screamed out in pain and they decided that they needed to stretch him out first.\n\nFinally, after a few hours, the two finally became too exhausted to do anything else, so they fell asleep, happily curled up in each others' arms.\n\n\\\\\\\n\nThe next morning Adrian came out in his boxers with his tail wagging nonstop. Nathan and his boyfriend were making breakfast.\n\n\"Good morning, Sweetheart. It sounded like you had fun last night,\" Nathan said.\n\nAdrian blushed slightly. \"Yes. I did. I wanted to thank you for the book.\"\n\n\"What book?\" Nathan's boyfriend asked.\n\n\"It's a....uh...\" Nathan started to stutter.\n\n\"It was a cook book. And it had just the recipe I needed,\" Adrian interrupted to help hide the secret of the book. He realized that no one but the people it was passed down to was supposed to know about the book.\n\nJust then, Alex came out of Adrian's room, yawning. He opened his eyes and looked over towards the others just in time to see Adrian pouncing at him. He quickly caught his mate and the two kissed for a minute. \"Um...save some for us, we'll be out in a minute,\" Alex said as he dragged his boyfriend back into the room.\n\n\\\\\\\n\nTwo Years Later...\n\nAlex and Adrian were living happily together with a rabbit and a cat. All four guys were gay, but the rabbit and the cat seemed to fight all the time. One evening, the cat approached Adrian with a slightly worried look on his face.\n\n\"Hey, Addy, I have a question for you?\" Sam, the cat, asked.\n\n\"Yes? What can I help you with?\" Adrian asked his young friend.\n\n\"You see...it's about Tracey. I can't get his cute bunny face out of my head.\"\n\nAdrian smiled. \"I have just the thing. It helped me to get with Alex. I'll be right back,\" the fox said as he went to his room and pulled out the hidden book.\n\n\"This book has been passed down from gay guy to gay guy. It is guaranteed to work for you. Just don't tell anyone about the book,\" Adrian said as he sent the cat off smiling.\n\nJust as he was leaving, Alex walked in. \"What was that about?\" he asked Adrian.\n\n\"It was nothing. By the way, Nathan and Roaring Fur are finally getting married. Nathan told me the other day that his 'sexy, native American lion' finally proposed. We're going to have to get some good suits for their wedding. We're the best men,\" Adrian said before kissing his mate happily." } ]

She kissed him passionately. \"I'd seen the mornings and the evenings and even the nights, but having someone special to share them with is something I've never experienced before you, Marco.\" She nuzzled into him, then gave his lips a quick lick. \"Let's go get breakfast so we can get this day started.\"\n\nHe slipped his arms around her waist as she held onto him, and he kissed her back, just as passionately. He felt his heartbeat increase and a soft growl came from his throat, a gentle one. His ears laid back and he closed his eyes for a moment, then he sighed out and smiled when she pulled away, \"Alright darling...let's go.\"\n\nTisha smiled as she walked back into the house with Marco, fixing up the food for them to eat breakfast before tackling the day's jobs. She set two plates out, then a third for Black Elk when the warrior came down from upstairs. She set out a cup of coffee for him as well, but focused on eating her own breakfast and making sure she and Marco had enough coffee to make it through the morning.\n\nMarco sat down next to her and once the plate was filled with the meager food they had, and she was sitting next to him, he began eating. He sipped his coffee and ate the rabbit and fruit in front of him. He was getting tired of rabbit and canned food, but it was what they had until they got the deer smoked up and ready to eat. They would survive. Sometimes he wondered if love was all that would hold them together. He sighed out and they ate in silence.\n\nTisha started eating, wishing she had something more than just the same food over and over again to eat and share with Marco. Soon though. She knew that soon enough, they would have the vegetables from the garden ready, and hopefully, they could find some various herding beasts to bring up here as well to change up the food supply. She would love to offer some beef or pork or even chicken. But for now, rabbits and deer was all they had. \"We can cut a chunk off the deer and have that for dinner tonight.\"\n\nHe nodded and smiled at her words, \"Venison sounds good... so does anything but rabbit.\" He laughed and shook his head, \"Not that I'm not thankful... I am, it's just that it get old.\" He shrugged and sighed, eating more rapidly to get on with their day. He most enjoyed the time he got to spend with Tisha, it made whatever else they had to do all the more easy.\n\nShe grinned, then nodded. \"We're gonna need our knives today, so I'll cut off a chunk and we can have that for dinner tonight. And so can Black Elk if he's back from hunting by then. Otherwise, he can eat rabbit jerky out in the field.\"\n\nAt that moment, Black Elk came into the kitchen, and shook his head. \"I'll be back tonight. Venison sounds much better than more rabbit. There's only so long you can eat rabbit without getting sick and tired of it.\"\n\n\"Not to mention sick of it period...\" Marco said, remembering what he had been taught in his wilderness survival training, which he had. He was not clueless when it came to surviving in the wild, he just hadn't done it very much, and not for anyone besides himself. \"You can get sick of eating just rabbit...not enough fat in it, that's why you need other stuff with it.\"\n\n\"There's really only four months a year that rabbits are edible. May through August. Any other time, they're toxic to humans, and probably anthros. But venison and other meat will be good for changes in our diets.\" She sighed. \"We need some animals with lots of fat on them too to counter all the rabbits we're eating right now.\"\n\nMarco nodded and smiled at her, reaching over to pat her arm, \"We'll get it all and be just fine. You'll see.\" He smiled at her and then took a few more bites, before pushing his plate away. He wanted to get working on their day. He pushed his chair back and took his dishes up to the sink.\n\nTisha smiled up at him, and nodded, finishing her own food and taking the dishes to the sink to wash them. After hers and Marco's were washed, dried and put away, she looked up at the tall, handsome husky. \"Let's go get that barn taken care of and the horses out to pasture before tackling the tanning of hides and getting the meat for dinner tonight.\"\n\n\"Right.\" he said simply, helping her put everything away before heading out on the back porch. He grabbed a pair of work gloves that he had, then took her hand and they headed for the barn together. The tools to clean it were kept in the barn itself, and so they didn't have to take anything with them. They walked along, \"I could get used to this I think... though the stress of food and all of that will weigh on you after a while...\"\n\n\"That's why we start growing stuff now, and when it's time to start harvesting, we can 'can' some of it for later use. Same with smoking the meat we get now, so we can try to get herds up for later use.\" She tugged him behind her, full of energy first thing in the morning. \"Hurry up, Marco. I know this is the best part of the day, playing with the horses, but we still got work to do after playing with them.\"\n\nThe moment she stepped into the barn, she pulled on her work boots and went to the first stalls, clipping a lead rope onto her mare's halter before opening her stall door and leading her out to the pasture. \"We just need to remember to put some water out here for the horses that aren't going out on the hunting trip with Black Elk, and water the vegetables before the sun gets too high.\"\n\nHe laughed while she pulled him along behind her toward the barn. She was such an energetic thing. He went along willingly though, nodding, \"Right, we won't forget...at least we don't have to lug it all the way back to the house.\" He grinned as they came up to the doors into the barn. He pulled on another pair of boots that were there, probably her father's. They were a bit loose, but that was alright by him.\n\nHe let her lead her horse out, \"Do we get all the horses out first? Or do we take one out at a time and clean the stall before getting the next out?\"\n\n\"Easiest way is to take them all out, then start mucking out the stalls. We'll have to use the old manure pile to put the stuff in, and then in a few days, add some water to the pile and spread the manure over the garden. Free fertilizer as my...\" Her breath hitched, and he could tell that it was something one of her parents said. Fighting off the lingering depression of their loss, she tossed her hair back from her eyes, looking up at him.\n\n\"We'll leave Black Elk's horse and the gelding in the stables, and hopefully Brute will decide to mount one of the girls if he has a little privacy.\" After turning out Snowflake into the pasture, she headed back into the barn to get one of the other mares.\n\nMarco nodded and chuckled, shaking his head at the casual way which she talked about Brute mounting the 'girls'. He headed for the stallion's stall, and opened the door to it, taking him by a lead and guiding him from it out to the pasture with Snowflake. He turned him loose there, and then came back to the barn to finish helping her and start working on the stalls.\n\nAfter the four horses that would be staying at the homestead were turned out to the pasture, Black Elk came out, having finished his breakfast and washed his dishes. He headed to the barn to join them and swiftly got his horse ready as well as the gelding that would be carrying back the meat he caught. \"I'll see you both tonight,\" he said before mounting up and heading out.\n\nTisha grabbed the buckets for water and handed two to Marco. \"Two buckets into the pasture for the horses, then water the plants, then two more into the pasture. Then we'll get the manure wheelbarrow out and start mucking the stalls out.\"\n\nMarco waved to Black Elk as he took off with his two horses. He hoped that the indian was careful out there hunting... any number of things could happen to a lone hunter in the woods. He shook his head and forced himself not to think of that, instead focusing on their job and on Tisha. He took two buckets and carried them out of the barn toward the stream, then filled them up and carried them back to the pasture to dump in troughs for the horses.\n\nTisha collected the water in her buckets and used them to fill a couple watering cans, which she then took over to the vegetable garden and slowly walked through the garden, drizzling the fresh water over the churned up soil where the seeds were starting to take root. She knew soon enough they would have to come through here, weeding the garden, but today was not weeding day.\n\nWhile she watered, the buckets were available for Marco to get more water into the trough for the horses in the pasture. She gave a small sigh, knowing they needed to plant the fruit bearing trees soon enough, but of course, they wouldn't get any fruit from them for a while yet, though the ones her family had planted over the last few years will help out. She wanted to check out the trees tomorrow, or even earlier if the sun was up and they had some spare time to take a look today. Maybe after lunch and before they start working on the hide again.\n\nHe took the buckets when she finished using them and brought two more full buckets of water to the horses, then he loaded them up once again, and carried the buckets over to the garden, then took up the spare watering can and filled it. He started on the opposite side of the garden from her, and worked his way over, watering all of their seed rows gently, making sure that everything was nicely soaked but not washed out.\n\nWhen he emptied one, he got some more water and went back to it. At last the garden was done and he put the can down for a moment to stretch. \"Fuck that's hard on the back.\"\n\nTisha nodded in agreement. \"I know. It's the only thing I hate about gardening. Well, that and weeding. Both can be killer on the back. But it has to be done to keep the wild plants from taking over the vegetables and fruit we need.\" She finished watering her spots, then stretched herself out, carrying the buckets back to the barn and putting the watering cans she had back in their spots.\n\nHe followed her around, putting things back and then heading for the shed, \"Let's get the manure wagon and stuff and get these stalls mucked.\" He wrinkled his nose, \"Probably my least favorite job is going to be dealing with horse shit... No, I take that back. It's going to be dealing with the brains later to put on the hide.\" He laughed and shook his head.\n\n\"When we go up to do that, we'll need a bucket with water in it. We'll need to keep the brains moist and our hands washed off. The deer hide will be getting the gunk and hair or fur off it, but the rabbit skins just need the gunk scraped off. I'll show you using the deer hide and you can work on the rabbit skins. Less brains to be used on rabbit skins, while the deer skins take more,\" Tisha told him as she moved to haul the manure barrows out of their storage place and grabbed a couple pitchforks. \"You get one and I'll get one. We'll knock the horse shit out in no time.\"\n\nMarco took one of the pitchforks and one of the manure barrows, and they carted them over to the bar where they each took one side of the building and started working on a stall. The process was simple, scoop shit, dump shit in barrow, rinse and repeat until all the shit was gone. Then scrape the floor and remove any soiled hay, then dump new hay on the floor and make sure it was scattered out.\n\nOnce that was done in one, he moved to the next stall. They talked throughout, from time to time, speaking back and forth though also trying not to breathe too much with the smell of the shit in the air.\n\nTisha was more used to handling the chore for a week, but still the scent was a bit much for her. \"I can't wait until Brielle and Aunt Melanie get here. They're used to this work. When we get the jobs set up for everyone, I think we vote them in to take care of the horses and barn. No stinkies for us, at least not this stinky job. I've got no problem taking on hunting or growing the vegetables or even cooking. But no more hides or shit jobs,\" she said with a chuckle.\n\nLooking at him as they moved to the next stalls, she smiled. \"We'll wash up after this is done, so we don't smear shit all over the hides.\" Between shoveling out the old shit, she climbed up into the rafters and tossed down the fresh straw and hay for the horses to be spread out on the floor of their stalls, then climbed back down to clean out the next stall.\n\nMarco laughed and nodded, \"I agree. The two of them can shovel shit and I don't give a fuck who gets to tan the hides, but no more brains and shit for me.\" He shook his head, moving from one stall to the next to repeat the process on the last of his side. He got it done quickly enough, \"Where do we spread the manure? Or do we have to let it sit somewhere for a while before it can be used on the garden?\"\n\nTisha grinned and shrugged her shoulders a little. \"Umm, well, it used to get watered by the system, but without power, I'm not sure how the watering would happen. It kinda needs some watering to keep it moist so that it can be spread easier. Besides, I don't think we really want to water it too much where it affects us like it did this morning. For right now, I think we should put it into a pile, then dump a couple buckets onto it. We can work on that tomorrow for the vegetables, cause the shit will wait, but the hides won't.\"\n\nMarco knew that you couldn't spread some manure on to plants right away, like chicken poop. It was too 'hot' and would literally 'burn' the plant roots, killing them. You had to leave those for at least three years before you could use them. That was something he had learned a long while ago when he had a friend that was a gardener. He didn't know if it went for all poop though. Right now he just wanted to get the job done. He finished off his stalls, then moved over to help her finish up, \"Alright, let's get this shit dumped...fuckin stinky shit...\" he laughed.\n\nTisha wrinkled her nose at the joke, as well as the smell. \"Yeah, then let's get cleaned up so we can get brains all over us. Just a joyous day in the life of the world gone crazy frontier. Maybe we can leave the shit in the barrows, and water them down during the day. Tomorrow we can sort the shit out in the garden. Since I'm not sure how much to put down, we'll try out a small amount to see if it helps, then start a pile that we'll have to water daily to make sure that is far enough away that we don't get the stench, but close enough to use to till the soil after the harvest.\"\n\nHe nodded and laughed, shaking his head and then pushing the barrow away from the barn. She had hers as well and they took it out and parked them near the garden, then left them while they put the tools away. Once that was done, it was time to start on the hides, something he wasn't particularly looking forward to.\n\n\"Before we get the hides out, let's get this muck off our hands and paws, and we'll get things together for tanning the hides. And we'll need a bucket of water to keep the brains mushed as we work the hides. So first, we'll get things set up with cleaning up and getting these mucking boots off!!\"\n\nMarco nodded and said, \"Wash off in the stream then?\" he grinned and turned that way, heading to it so that he could wash his paws and hands off. Of course, they would have to do it downstream from where they got their drinking water, unless they had a different spot. He supposed it might be better just to get a bucket and rinse off in it.\n\n\"Wash off in the stream for now, but bring buckets for us to wash off in during the tanning process. And that water can get used to help ease the 'heat' out of the manure after we're done for the day,\" she replied, giving him a quick grin before going to wash up herself. They were downstream of their usual drinking water spot, since it would be much easier to get the next set of drinking water from their spot without contaminating it.\n\nLooking over her shoulder, she smiled up at him. \"So after we get cleaned up, let's grab a bucket for drinking water and coffee, and then a bucket for washing up during the process. I can get the water on the stove to boil up for coffee and grab our knives while you get the brains. Then we can get the hides together.\"\n\nMarco nodded and followed her to the stream. He hopped over it and then knelt to rinse off his hands. He scrubbed them in the water, making sure to get anything off of his fur that was stuck to it, then even picking under his nails with a rock, \"We're going to have to figure out something to get our hands cleaner...soap I guess, though that won't last long. I read once how to make soap with lye, but I can't remember it now.\"\n\nHe stood a moment later and shook his hands dry, then headed to get the two buckets they would need. He knew that in their situation, sanitation was one of the most important things, along with food and clean water. If they got sick there was no medicine to help them now, they would have to rely on whatever they had. She had grabbed some stuff from her house, he knew, and they might have some up here, but not the kind of antibiotics they would need to stem off a bad infection.\n\n\"I know the tribe has a way to keep themselves clean. While they were called 'dirty' and 'filthy' by the white settlers in this area, and across most of the United States, they were actually cleaner people than the whites. An Indian took baths at least once a day, while the whites took one once a week, at the most. We can always ask Black Elk what they use. It will help us in the long run, plus we can always make soap later. Lye hurts too much. It can really burn the skin and I'm not sure how to make it not burn skin.\"\n\nShe looked at him thinking the same thing he was. \"We need to grab as much of the alcohol from town as we can. It can be used as an antiseptic if someone gets a bad cut and we need to stitch them up. As I said, I want to grab all the stuff we can medically from town, and as much food and alcohol for medical purposes. We still have to eke out a living up here for the next few months before the seeds start getting ripe enough to harvest.\"" } ]
