Journey to Aranathra
CHAPTER THREE
By
mid-morning, Asher finally wakes up, stretching out his arms and letting out a
long groan as he blocks the sunlight out from his eyes."Whose idea was it to
keep the window open? I'm naked too! Now everyone has seen the prince naked"
He tosses the sheets off of the bed, noticing his own morning erection.
Tomas kneels
near their shared dresser, repacking his backpack. He stands, grabbing a clay
pot of coffee and an empty cup. Walking over to the bed, he hands the cup to
Asher, pouring him a fresh cup of steaming coffee. He's clad only in his
undergarments, revealing his toned, fit body, hairless with a faint scar on his
left side."Good morning, my Prince. I hope you slept well" He sets the coffee
pot down on the nightstand, grabs his cup and sits next to Asher."I repacked
our gear. We have a little more room now"
Tomas
shrugs."You're the prince. They have no right to be disappointed in you. Besides,
given the noise from last night, Toby and Hunter weren't up early. They've been
coming in and out of the house. When I went out to get coffee and food, everyone
was in a tizzy of excitement. I guess they have some surprise for everyone. I
don't really like surprises" He shrugs again, his face serious and thoughtful.
Suddenly, he smiles, standing and retrieving a tray of fruit, cheeses, bread
and sweet cakes."Breakfast! If you want eggs or porridge, I'm sure we can do
that. He takes a small, round cake, with reddish jam oozing from inside of the
treat and takes a bite. These raspberry things are delectable"
Asher sucks
the finger to the knuckle, then bites the tip."But River said that he only has
a month left to live. If we have a horse for him, then that should help"
unders to the side. His dick, mostly
hard, falls out to one side.
Tomas leans
forward, cupping one hand around Asher's ear and jaw. He kisses him, gently,
slightly opening his mouth as neither boy pulls away. Their tongues meet,
tasting of jam and coffee. When he pulls back, Tomas grins."Let them watch if
they'd like"He takes both of their
cups and sets them aside. He pushes Asher back onto the bed, crawling up on the
bed, with their dicks pointing at each other's face. Without a word, he licks
the tip of Asher's dick."Mmm...you taste good"
Ahhh... Tomas" Asher's hands play with the blonde warriors
hair and sometimes playing with his ears. He arcs his back whenever Tomas takes
him into his mouth, letting out a loud moan for anyone to hear."Guess we will
have a surprise announcement of our own, huh"
Tomas grins
as he swallows all of Asher's cock into his mouth. He scrunches his nose
against his prince's ball sack, breathing deeply and savoring his scent.
Holding onto Asher's hips he rolls them both over, Tomas on his back, his cock
hard and pointing to the ceiling, tingling at Asher's breath. Asher lays on top
of him, his small cock embedded in Tomas' mouth. He squeezes his friend's butt,
teasing his hole a bit."Suck me, my Prince"
Tomas sucks
Asher's rod, kissing his balls and sucking them too. He relaxes, letting the
young prince fuck his mouth. Asher works on his dick, and Tomas appreciates his
enthusiasm and skill. His hands roam over Asher's back and butt, tickling his
ribs and his hole and then back to the ribs. Asher stops sucking and strokes
Tomas."Ungghh...I'm going to cum, Ash. Here it cums,
baby" His cock jumps and spasms, the first jets holding on his tip for just a
moment before shooting off.
As tired as
his mouth is, he doesn't care to rush and swallow it down like he would
normally do. Instead, Asher let's him spray his load all over his face. As it
happens, he finds himself so turned on that he has an orgasm as well, dribbling
just a few pearls of cum into Tomas's lips as he moans."Fffuuck...
We can't go out like this" Asher kisses the tip of Tomas's cock, moving his
tongue around his face and lips to clean up whatever he can, then meets back at
Tomas's face to kiss him and let him taste his own cum.
Tomas holds
Asher's face and licks it clean, finding and eating every drop of cum."Gods,
it tastes better licking it off of your face than anything.." He pulls Asher
into a long, deep kiss."Too bad we're leaving this morning...I could spend hours
fucking you"
Tomas
stretches and finishes of his cup of coffee, refilling it immediately. He
dresses. Comfortable clothes, light leather armor, sword, dagger."If circumstances
allow it, certainly. But there's a time when it's fun and a time when it's
foolish. We'll have to play it by ear" He chews his lip as he finishes
dressing. Sitting on the side of the bed watching Asher, he nurses his coffee.
Asher takes
his time to change, wearing clothes much like Tomas, although having a pendant
to where his heart is shaped like a tree, a symbol that he is high royalty in
Aigua. After they've finished preparing in the morning, brushing their teeth
together, taking their morning piss and cleaning their faces, they leave Toby's
house and meet the rest of the group at Hunter's, where all of the boys and the
redheads parents are gathered around a circular table in a messy kitchen.
Hunter and Toby sit hand in hand with each other, laughing at their own jokes,
while River and Ythl sit on the other side. The blue-haired boy seems a little
tired this morning and less happy than he had been yesterday.
Tomas sits
at the table, clearing his throat while waiting for the conversation to quiet
down."We should leave as soon as we're able. Breakfast then off. I'll be
checking everyone's pack to make sure we're not carrying extra, useless weight.
If you're not used to travelling like this, you'd be surprised at how much of a
difference a pound here or there can make" He sips coffee, enjoying eggs and
biscuits."I hope everyone slept well"
Ythl nods,
pointing to his pack by the door. River and my packs are there."I think we've
packed well. I've been to war before, you remember, Tomas"
Without
speaking, Hunter raises his small bag, which has nothing more than an extra
pair of clothing. Both of us are packed as well. He reaches under the table to
squeeze his boyfriends hand, giving him a brow to see if he wants to tell them
the news yet."We can't leave right after breakfast though" His parents smile
at him, as they were informed of the news this morning. Their mother worked
vigorously to make the most delicious breakfast she could as a quick result of
that.
Tomas
frowns, glancing at the Prince."Why not? It's important for us to get to Aranathra as quickly as possible" He sighs, his jaw
clenching and unclenching."How much of a delay are we looking at"
hus - my boyfriend knows the fastest routes around here"
River sips
from his tea as he reads from his small spell book, barely listening to their
conversations.
Tomas' face
relaxes."Oh, that's not so bad. You made it sound more serious. Good, good.
That's not bad at all"
Most of the
boys go back to eating, Toby, Hunter, and Hunter's parents seem very excited
and happy. Ythl busies himself watching over River, a worried mother hen
watching over her chick.
As the group
largely finishes breakfast, a booming knock on the front door resonates through
the house. Toby jumps up, racing for the door, barely ahead of Hunter. Tomas,
Asher, and Ythl watch after them for a moment in bewildered curiosity.
Toby races
back into the kitchen."Um, if you're all done eating, can you join us in the
front garden? Please" Without waiting, he heads back to the front sitting room
and out to the garden.
spitboys or somethin'" The
prince and his teacher are the first out, then Hunter's parents. The redhead
keeps the door open, waiting for Ythl and River as they slowly make their way
outside. The weather is calm and the sunrise beams through the slight fog that
usually floods the village in the morning. With them outside are Toby's parents
as well, who converse with Hunter's. Stefano stands in between the group of
parents, shining a bright smile upon the collective friends and family members.
River taps
his staff down into the grass, stands on his toes and whispers to Ythl."I
think they're getting married" His tone is much more excited than it was
before.
Ythl's eyes
widen as he breaks into a smile."You think so? My, that would be an auspicious
omen"
Stefano asks
Prince Asher to stand beside him. Hunter and Toby kneel in front of their
village elder. clasping hands and smiling brightly. Toby's mother is the first
to cry, and her tears set Hunter's mother to tears as well. The elder begins.
Toby and
Hunter smile, tightly holding hands. A beam from the sun capture a light sheen
of tears on the cheeks of both boys. Their mothers and fathers hold each other
close as the ceremony continues.
eachother,
before the gods of our people at the rise a new day. Do you, Hunter, take Toby
as husband? Do you pledge to him devotion and understanding, loyalty and
comfort, sharing all burdens and joys, forever more, as long as you shall live"
Everyone
looks to Hunter.
Stefano
nods, smiling brightly. He looks to Toby."And do you, Toby, take Hunter as
husband? Do you pledge to him devotion and understanding, loyalty and comfort,
sharing all burdens and joys, forever more, as long as you shall live"
Everyone
looks to Toby, now. Ythl wraps his arm around River's waist, holding him close.
His eyes are as much on Tomas as on the grooms.
Toby gulps
air, his stomach in knots."I do" He looks at Hunter, his eyes moistening as
he stares into the eyes of his beloved. They continue to squeeze each other's
hands tightly.
River gaily
smiles and rubs his head against Ythl's shoulder, watching attentively to the
two of them and feeling the pain in his limbs and muscles diminish. Seeing the
two of them committing such a powerful act together gives him hope that their
trip will also lead him and the rest of them to some sort of happiness.
Stefano
leans down and takes the joined hands of the two lovers. He brings their hands
forward and takes a green and blue cloth, long and thin, winding it around
their wrists and hands."Do you have a ring? Some token each to give the other
as a symbol of your union"
Stefano
chuckles, his deep laugh somehow reassuring."I can think of nothing better for
you two"
Toby hastily
unties the bracer from his left wrist. Dyed light green with a stag worked into
main body, and tied with black leather strings, he passes it to Stefano. Hunter
does likewise with his.
The elder
elk holds them up to the sun and to the assembled guests."Let these tokens be
blessed by the giver of life, the sun! Let these tokens be blessed with the
good will and wishes of all those gathered here today, in love, with the new
husbands" He hands Toby the red leather of Hunter and hands Hunter the green
leather of Toby."For they are now mated and joined as one, under the eyes of
the old gods and new! I give you the husbands - Toby and Hunter! May their
lives be long and rich, and their heart always full"
He claps and
hugs each of the boys.
Hunter embraces
the two of them, then returns to his husband and kisses him hard on the lips
before pressing his tongue in and embracing him. They place on their bracers as
they make out, then hold each other close as they rise."I love you, Toby. My
husband"
Asher jumps
in ecstatic glee, almost as if he's been inhaling a bit too much grass. Nothing
can stop the boys excitement as they collectively witness this sacred moment in
the bear and boars lives.
Zephran and his mother hug and kiss Hunter's face, then do
the same to Toby as his husbands parents do the same to him. All of the other
boys are also forced into the adults hugs and forced into their small talk and
words of good fortune. At some point the gingers father vanishes, but also
quickly returns right when he's about to go tongue in cheek with his husband
again."My son. When you first came out to us and brought Toby for dinner with
him as your boyfriend, I knew that the time would come that I would have to
expect you to marry. Of course, I never expected it so soon! You're only
thirteen and he's fourteen! But love is love. Bah" He chuckles, wiping his
snout with his arm. The large boar lends his son a long sword, made of rich
steel, then hands him the scabbard made ebonized walnut, which has some wear to
it. The grip fits neatly in his left hand, almost as if it were made for him.
Upon the blade are carvings of different warriors and healers, all infamous
boars throughout history."This sword was made by my great-grandfather, you
know. And you know the story, how it had been handed down and now belongs in
your hands. You can see their names on it as well. Yours is here" He points to
it."Because I'm quite sure you'll become a great warrior as well, no matter
how much I'd rather you live here with us for the rest of your life. You should
use it with the mindset that you're saving lives, not taking them. Understand?
Also, when you look at this sword, let it remind you of who and what you are.
Let it give you pride" Zephran kneels down,
sheathing the blade and placing it to his belt right under the dagger that
Hunter made yesterday."I know you sometimes feel embarrassed transforming in
front of other kids, but I want you to get over that while you're gone. Please,
for me, spend a week in your form. You've been gifted with that special ability
to transform longer than most other shapeshifters can. Use it" He stands back
up, kissing his son on the head."I love you, Hunter"
His mother
grips onto Zephran's arm, giving her own speech to
him. The other boys are already packed and ready to go. River is even situated
on his horse, but not in any hurry after being blessed by such a perfect
morning.
The mother's
bring out a tray with cups of fine wine for everyone. After each of them takes
a cup, Stefano calls for silence."Quiet, quiet. We have one more tradition and
then you can depart. A toast for the newly joined couple" He looks at Asher."As
our Prince, I know the boys would be honored and grateful if you would do the
honor of making the toast. . " All eyes turn to Asher, cups raised.
Asher grins
widely, speaking loud and clear."A toast to love, which is the most undeniably
powerful and sacred symbol known to all kinds" Everyone raises their glass
after him and chugs it down. After they're done, Toby's mother gathers all of
the glasses. Stefano chants and throws some sort of dust on each of the boys
and Hunter assures them that it's simply something the elders do to bless the
young before they come of age. As much as the two new husbands want to
celebrate with their family, they wave off and lead the way out of the village.
There's a horse for River, which Ythl guides needlessly. All of the others
stand beside each other.
Tomas waits
for the others to finish their drinks and good-byes. He shifts uncomfortably
from one foot to the other, tapping the hilt of his sword. Finally, everyone is
ready. He sighs and checks the sun. Ythl walks over to him and whispers."You're
doing it again. Letting worry sour your thoughts" Ythl goes back to River and
the horse, patting River's leg reassuringly. Tomas closes his eyes for a moment
and takes a deep breath.
Wodethorpe.
And I thought that Hunter should guard our rear. I don't mean to separate you
two, but I think that's still the best course"
As they're
leaving, Toby's pet rottweiler runs along and follows them. It sniffs around
and gets a pet from everyone before minding its business and standing beside
the two newly married lovers. The first part of the trail is mostly flatlands,
hills, bridges and rivers, which then lead into the endless, perpetual forests
that dominate around all of Aigua. As they walk into the lively forests, they
begin to learn more about one another, conversing with others that they'd
previously not spoken to as much beforehand.
Prince Asher
spends most of his time jumping from each rotting, fallen tree to the next,
standing on the edges near riverbanks, or climbing trees to leap from to gather
fruit when he's bored. At one point he jumps down from a high branch of a tree,
tossing everyone grapefruits."Man, do I love climbing"
River sits
up, rubbing his face along Ythl's back."Well, if the king is a leopard
shapeshifter, then it fits that you can leap from tree to tree so easily and
jump as high as you do. Who knows. Maybe you'll have some genetic abnormality
and find out you're actually a monkey" Everyone laughs, but River didn't mean
it as a joke.
Tomas grins
from the front of the group with Toby."Well, he is fond of the banana"
Everyone
bursts out laughing. For a few minutes, there's good natured teasing directed
at the prince. The others are careful not press things too far. He is still the
prince, after all.
They make
good time; Toby is familiar with the area and the woods here aren't as wild or
tangled as they'll encounter later. With the sun just past its apex, the group
pauses for a rest and a quick meal. Ythl and River are able to heat coffee for
them all. Hunter's mother had packed a large box of cookies and if not for
Tomas, they would have devoured them all in this one sitting. He insists that
they save them, making them last for the long journey ahead.
Toby shields
his eyes from the sun, scanning the sky."I think so. I reckon we're maybe two
hours out. Maybe less if we press harder. We'll make it their well before dark,
though"
Tomas nods.
He does a quick count as Ythl returns from relieving himself. They move out as
soon as everyone is ready. The afternoon is warm, with a slight breeze rustling
the trees. They hear birdsong, but with the horse and their talking, any small
creatures take to hiding before the group can spot them.
Hunter
separates from his husband temporary to speak with Ythl, who he hadn't really
talked to earlier. He offers him a half-piece of cookie and takes note to his
staff."That's mighty beautiful. How old is it? Do you know where it was made?
I'd love to collaborate with someone that knows how to seal magic into a staff"
Ythl offers
the staff for Hunter's inspection."Oh? What magic would you like sealed into
your staff? This one is not terribly old, as such things go. Only five hundred
years, near enough. It was made by a wizard from the far north who had
travelled to Aigua. Kevyn Crystalspinner
he became known as. His magic centered on glass and crystals. He travelled to
Aigua with his sick son, seeking healing at our shrines. It worked and his son
was cured. They stayed, serving the King and protecting the shrines in thanks
for their healing" Ythl slides off of the horse. Gently, he takes his staff
back."He made the staff for his son, Kydric. It was
passed down through the generations until it passed to my mentor. He died with
no children, only nephews, none of whom pursued magic. Thus it passed to me"
Hunter takes the staff, examining it
carefully, taking note of the materials used for it and what makes it different
than River's."So, river. Why is your staff different"
River hands
his to him as the redhead hands Ythl's back. The blue-haired boy explains."Because
I focus on mostly magic related to wind and water. It's formed by an actual
wind mage and around five hundred years old, like Ythl's. His looks cooler, in
my opinion"
Hunter nods
to him, handing it back. He returns back to his boyfriend and they talk about
how they'll have to have a much larger celebration when they get back from the
shrine, not just for the wedding, but for saving the prince and River's lives.
Ythl climbs
aboard the horse, sitting in front of River, who leans head against his
mentor's back. The quietly discuss their staves, their histories and any
changes or additions they'd like to make. They also discuss the merits of
different woods and decorations for different types of magic.
Toby smiles
as Hunter comes up next to him. He takes his hand."How are you, husband of
mine? Bored being in the back? I thought you liked taking up the rear?"Toby
giggles.
Tomas nods.
He steps forward, guiding Asher behind him with one hand as the other rests on
his sword hilt. He looks back at Ythl."Sssss" When
he has Ythl attention, he jerks his head towards the village. The wizard nods
and slides off the horse."Stay mounted and watch to our sides and behind us"
he whispers to River. He pats the younger boy's leg and then moves quickly up
to Tomas."Not much to look at"
From the far
side of the collection of ramshackle buildings a large man strides forward. He
carries a large woodcutter's axe. He scowls for a moment as other men follow
him."What's your business, strangers" The man's tone is gruff.
Hunter sighs
a wave of relief that the man they see is not some rogue warrior, Cruiberg, or
a member of Crayus's cult. He waves one hand, putting
his axe back over his sword belt."Been a while, sir Raoul. You remember us at
all"
The man
relaxes visibly. He turns to the men behind him."It's alright, fellas. It's
Toby and Hunter" He strides forward, his long, thick legs covering the yards
between them in quick order. He kneels on one knee before Asher."Prince. My
lords"He stands."We can offer you but
humble accomadations. We've little as befits a prince
of the realm. My apologies, your Highness" He holds one arm out to one of the
nearby buildings."We've an empty home you're welcome to use. Might be a bit
dusty, but it should serve"
He leads
Asher and the group to a rectangular home on the edge of the village. A fenced
garden next to the house lies untended and in the early stages of becoming
overgrown. Leading the group inside, it's clear that the building was once
someone's house. Some furniture sits stacked against one wall, covered in dingy
sheets. A ladder lead to an open loft, most like where the previous owners
slept. A larger iron stove rests in one corner, a few stray sticks of firewood
nearby. A layer of dust coats most surfaces."I'll have water and brooms
brought straight away and we'll get this place cleaned for you in no time,
Highness" He bows and hurries out of the house, bellowing for water and
calling to other villagers that they have a royal visitor.
Tomas stands
close by his prince, proud of how thoughtful he is of River.
The village
and house burst into activity.Men begin
chopping wood and drawing water. Women begin cleaning the house, even offering
to clean the prince's clothes. Wine and beer are brought, along with fruit and
bread. Tomas climbs the ladder, examining the loft, which he pronounces as
suitable for the prince and one or two others. Hunter lights a fire in the
stove and begins heating water. River chafes at being prevented from helping
amid the flurry of activity, but Ythl is firm.
gotta take it" Two burly
lumbermen carry a woodframed bed, large enough for
one person, maybe two if they were very good friends. The place it near the
stove. Following along is boy, perhaps 10 years old, carrying a thin, straw
mattress and blankets. He's obviously upset."I don't see why I gotta give 'm my pillow. Ain't
fair, da"
One of the
men slaps the boy across the mouth."Stow it, Pylom. One o' the prince's
friends is sick and I got 'nuff ta worry over without
yer bitchin'"
Asher steps
in between the man, almost ready to execute him on the spot for treating his
son poorly, and then he thinks."If you'd like, maybe you can have a sleep over
with River and still have your bed. I'm sure he would be fine with that"
River smiles
and nods."I don't mind. I'll head to rest earlier anyway so that I have energy
for tomorrow" He looks at Ythl for approval."Don't worry. I can make my own
teas and take my own medicines on my own"
Toby and
Hunter are already situated by the fire and beginning to eat. They've already
left their items back in their room.
The man
glares for a moment, but bites his tongue. The boy rubs his cheek and mouth
absently. The man seems about to speak when Tomas steps forward. The prince
will require an attendant. He gestures to the boy."He'll do well enough" He
guides the boy behind him towards the stove with a hand on the lad's shoulder.
Looking at the men, he speaks sternly."Thanks, on behalf of His Royal
Highness, for your assistance. You may return to homes or work" His tone, cold
and sharp as any steel, ends the matter. Both men touch their knuckles to their
foreheads and bow before leaving.
The boy
looks at Tomas, then at Asher. His eyes are wide and he's trembling."I . . . I
donno how ta tend a prince, sirs"
River sits
down by Ythl, drinking water heavily to keep himself hydrated. His head feels a
bit fuzzy and his vision is blurry."Will you sleep with us or will you rest
with the others"
Ythl look at
River, concern written upon his face. He feels River's forehead."Are you
talking to me or the boy"
The boy
looks around."I'll sleep wheres I'm told, sir" He
takes Asher's sword, whistling as he views it."It's beautiful" He looks
around, and finding the cleaning cloth, oil and sharpening stone, he sits on
the floor near the bed and stove and begins very carefully cleaning and
sharpening the blade. He looks at River and smiles."You're really sick, ain't ya" River nods."Oh. I'm sorry 'bout complainin' then. Ya can use ma bed as long as ya need" He
smiles suddenly."My ma makes a soup that fixed me right up when I'm sick. I'll
be right back" He jumps up and runs for the door, bowing to everyone. He darts
outside.
Tomas sighs."I'm glad you kept your temper in check, Prince. Toby and Hunter have the
bedroom. You and your choice will take the loft. The rest of us will stay down
here. I don't think we'll need a watch or guard, but I'll sleep light, just in
case" Almost to himself, he continues I wonder what happened to the family
that lived here?
After Hunter
finishes his meal, he wrestles Toby to the ground, ticking his armpits and
playing with him loudly. They roll around, kissing each other, being the
obnoxious couple, which they typically would keep secret, but having married
and had alcohol they're bound to be loud.
Once Pylom
returns with the soup he thanks him in a different language, inhaling the steam
from the soup before he begins to eat."I was talking to you, Ythl. If Pylom
sleeps with me, then there might not be enough room for you. Well, we're pretty
thin, so it might work out. This is delicious, by the way" He eats slowly, but
enjoys every bite more than the previous one.
Ythl smiles
at Pylom."Would that be alright with you? You might be the center part of a
Pylom sandwich"
Pylom
giggles and shrugs."It'd be warm, that's for sure. If ya want me to, I don't
mind" He returns to working on Asher's sword.
Ythl watches
as River eats his soup and Pylom cleans Asher's sword and armor.
Toby
stretches out his back, sitting in-between Hunter's legs as the redhead rubs
his shoulders. The firm, strong husband kisses up his neck, then something
dawns in on him."Uhm... I forgot to mention that the way that we were planning
to take isn't exactly the most exciting or beautiful one, but it is faster than
the previous route"
Tomas looks
at the new husbands and shakes his head."You two. Some honeymoon night. Is
there more danger with this new route"
Pylom is a
cute boy, tanned skin, dark hair and eyes. His hair is long, tied in back and
he smiles a lot as he cleans Asher's gear. Ythl and River notice that he looks
around a lot, his head on a swivel. He stays close to the fire and more than
once jumps at a sudden or unexpected noise.
Everyone
falls silent at this news. Ythl nervously watches River. Tomas moves to the
fireplace next to the stove, adding wood to the fire. He starts a kettle of
water on the stove, staring as he waits and thinks.
thems what got the family that used to live here. Unquiet
dead" He looks around, his eyes wide as he scoots closer to the fire."Come in
one night and carried them all away. Next morn, all we founds were empty
clothes and some blood. Even took their chickens" He shivers, pulling his
knees up to his chest.
Pylom
smiles, sitting up straight."If ya wants dessert, she made a cherry pie today"
he licks his lips and rubs his tummy. He stands up and moves next to River,
taking the empty bowl. He looks at River's booklet."Is that your magic"
Ythl grins
at River and his newfound follower. He rummages through his satchel, fetching a
scroll which he unrolls carefully and examines closely.
Tomas sits
next to Asher."Haunted. Maybe someone should stand watch tonight after all. We
have Baltus, though, and that might be enough" He
looks at the dog lounging near the fire. Dogs have a sense of such things.
Baltus
barks back, wagging his tail and licking Asher's hand."Good boy. Smart dog,
Toby. He's very handsome" Both of them speak quietly about whether or not to
take the trail with having River sick. A few minutes later they come to a
conclusion."Once we head out into the forest tomorrow, we'll make sure to
never split up at any point. I'm quite sure we know how to stop ourselves from
falling into a trap that sends us in circles... Marking the grass with paint or
using string if we really needed to. We'll take turns on nights watch duty as
well" Even though he's primarily one of the two that are meant to go to the
shrine for help, he still feels as if he must be a leader for them all at
times."This haunted forest is one of many dangers we will most likely
encounter on our way. We came into that knowing that and we've been chosen
specifically to test ourselves. I think we could be unstoppable if we learn to
fight along one another and grow closer"
Tomas nods."Ythl,
is there something you and River can do to protect us here"
Ythl stands."We have a ritual that should protect us from any lesser unquiet dead and warn
us against any stronger creatures. The Call of the White Bark"
The other
four sit near each other, watching closely. Toby knows of the spell they're
about to do, as he knows a few of his own. One of the spells he knows has to do
with blessing the dead with peace so that they may transcend to the afterlife.
His knowledge and skill is limited though, not like a wizard or mage, nor could
he imagine knowing how to do what they're about to perform.
Everyone is
quiet and respectful as River and Ythl, assisted by Pylom, perform their
ritual. It takes a few minutes, and the three of them seem to lose themselves
in their task. They chant and burn sage, tapping their staves against the floor
and wall. Finally, they return to their small bed, sitting with a sigh.
River sips
tea as Ythl explains and Pylom runs home for the pie,"The family that lived
here is dead. Dragged off and murdered, partially consumed. The villagers are
right to be worried. It was the dead who came for them"
The room
falls silent.
Ythl pushes
River back onto their small bed, He begins carefully, gently removing the
younger wizard's clothes. His hand lingers over River's smooth skin. Without a
word, Ythl leans in to kiss his student. Their tongues meet in each other's
mouths and one hand slides down River's stomach to squeeze his penis and balls.
Pylom opens
the door and enters, carrying a large pie and small plates. Before he can say
anything, he sees Ythl and River. Tomas snaps his fingers at the boy and he
turns the pie over to the warrior. Tomas smiles and Pylom goes over to the
wizards."Where do I fit"
takes off
his shirt. His skin is lighter where it's been protected from the son. He's a
thin boy, his ribs easily visible when he raises his arms. He looks at River
then at Ythl and smiles. He takes off his pants and unders.
He's completely hairless, his body smooth and toned. His dick, easily three and
half inches, is already hard. He climbs into bed next to River, running his
hand along River's side."Your skin is soft"
Pylom runs a
hand around River's chest and tummy."I like the way you feel. I never been
with a wizard...do you do magic for sex" He lays close to River, his body warm
against the boy-wizard. Gently, almost fearfully, he feels River's hair."I ain't never seen blue hair before, neither. It's so soft"
He reaches
behind himself with one hand, pulling Ythl against his back and butt. He twists
around to smile at the older wizard."I like your eyes. Never seen nothing like
them. Are all wizards as beautiful as you guys are"
River moans,
rubbing Pylom's arms and kissing his neck gently."We're not the first boys
you've been with, are we" He moves down close enough to start licking at one
of his nipples, fingering the other as his tongue swirls around it."Ever been
with an anthro before"
Oohh...mmm.." Pylom plays with River's hair as the blue
haired boy kisses and suckles his his nipples.
Shifting slightly, he brings his dick against River's, slowly circling the
smaller two inches with his own three-plus inches."I been with boys and men
and girls. None of 'em were as beautiful as you are, Mr. Ythl, Mr. River" He
shrugs and looks down."I know I ain't nothin' special, though. Don't matter"
Ythl strips.
With one hand he moves Pylom's long dark hair away from his neck, kissing it
warmly. His other hand reaches around the woodcutter-boy and caresses River."You're
a beautiful boy, Pylom. Never let anyone tell you differently"
Pylom
blushes."I just wash it is all. Ma makes our hair soap. Maybe she puts
something special in it. Mmmm.That feels real nice, Mr. River" He kisses
River, roughly, without finesse or grace. Simple, straightforward. He grips
River and squeezes and slowly strokes."I ain't ever
played with such a small one. Reminds me of a baby's"
It's not the
first time someone has joked about his size, but River can't help but to be a
bit embarrassed when his new friend calls him out on it. He explains,"Apparently,
most of the men in my family were very small, and I might not get too much
bigger than this either" He brings his hand back up, spitting in it for
lubrication as he strokes both of their dicks in his hand. Behind them, Ythl
has already transformed, which he hopes to shock and surprise the long-haired
boy in return for teasing his apprentice.
Ythl uses
his fox tongue to lick the back Pylom's neck. His eyes half-closed with
pleasure, he turns at the new sensation."Aayy" He
jerks away from Ythl, almost climbing on top of River. He quickly recovers as
curiosity compel him to stroke Ythl's fur."Never seen an anthro change. Do you
change to, Mr. River" He looks expectantly at River."Maybe your dinkie will be bigger if ya change"
River
laughs, tickling along his back as Pylom rubs his hands into Ythl's fur."I
don't think it completely works like that... I'm a shapeshifter but can't
change yet. That's why I'm sick and have to get to a shrine. What do you think,
Ythl"
Ythl licks
at Pylom's chest and neck. He takes one of the boy's hands and guides it to his
fox-penis. Pylom strokes him gently. After a minute, Ythl pushes the boy onto
his back."Let River and I suck you for a while.."
Nodding,
Pylom settles onto his back, spreading his legs. Ythl smiles and moves down to
lick the boy's hairless balls. Looking at River, and stroking his blue hair
again, he sighs."Can you put yours in my mouth, too? Ya ain't
too sick are ya"
Ohhhh.
That's awesome"
The smallish
dick slides in and out of Pylom's mouth. He sucks hard, using his tongue on
River's head. He holds onto River's buttcheeks,
squeezing them and rubbing the young wizard's back. He pauses long enough to
speak."You taste really good! Better'n anyone I ever
been with. An' your dickie feels nice. I don't even care that it's small. I can
suck on it all day and not hurt my mouth"
Ythl
expertly takes the boy's dick in his mouth. He slides up and down on him,
sucking him, swirling his tongue around the head and toying with the pee slit.
Every new sensation that Ythl gives Pylom, the woods-boy tries to repeat on
River. Ythl stops."You should taste him, River. You're taste really good,
Pylom"
ain't had a bath for a couple o' days. I'm glad I don't
stink to ya" He goes back to sucking River, asking as he kisses River's
scrotum."One of you is gonna put it in me, right? I want ya to"
The
blue-haired wizard rolls off to the side of the mattress and repositions
himself where his master once was. He starts off by stroking Pylom and playing
with his balls as he thinks out loud."Well, maybe you could do me while Ythl
does you. Unless you think he's too big, then I could take him. It might be
your only chance to get with an anthro though" He begins sucking him off and
does zig-zag motions with his tongue as his head bops up and down on him. Meanwhile,
his hands caress his hairless thighs as he stares up into his eyes.
Pylom takes
Ythl's dick in his hand. He contemplates the fox-anthro for a moment, then
watches River sucking him."I like the way you suck me, Mr. River. But yeah, I
like your idea. Mr. Ythl ain't as big as my pa, so
he'll fit in me real good, I think" He moans...ta
watch your face as I put it in you...I want ta see
your blue hair.."
We have some
of that in our bags. River points to his bag, then fills his mouth with cock,
sometimes switching to suck on each of his balls. His hair drips with sweat
along his face and down his back. The rooms are already hot and the act of sex
is only making it more intense for them all. When he finishes giving head he
returns to stroking him, moaning loudly while his master eats his ass."Unnhh, Ythl..."He kisses along Pylom's stomach area as his
mind is flooded with pleasure, unable to process anything else.
Pylom
strokes and plays with River's hair, moaning and groaning. His hips buck
slightly, encouraging his cock into River's mouth."Mmm...aagghh....yeah.
I like the way you suck, Mr. River. It's so. . . I don't know, it's just
different and really nice. I really want ta put it in
you"
Ythl jams
his tongue as deeply into River as he can. Reaching around, he squeezes and
pulls on River's dick."Would you like to lick River's butt? I can teach you
how, Pylom"
Pylom nods
vigorously, half sitting up."Yeah, Mr. Ythl. I'd like that lots"
As they
scramble around on the bed again to get into a new position, River takes this
time to reach into his bag and grab the jar of grease. He sets it aside, moves
a pillow around, and then rolls onto his stomach, sticking his butt up in the
air."Here you go. Better yet.." He spreads both of his cheeks and shakes his
butt, showing off his tight, pink hole.
Ythl and
Pylom look at River's hole. Ythl smiles broadly, his face glistening with
sweat, both his own and River's. He leans forward, spreading River's cheeks as
far as they'll go and sticking his tongue way out of his mouth. Pylom leans
forward, watching breathlessly. Ythl touches his tongue to River's hole, which
spasms and tightens, then relaxes as Ythl pushes his tongue inside. Pylom
stares.
wanna try" When Ythl moves aside, Pylom leans in. He
sniffs first, then smiles. He sticks his tongue out and slowly brings it to
River's hole. As his tongue makes contact, he flinches. For a moment he just
holds his tongue unmoving against the pink hole. Then, he begins licking. He moans
his joy and is soon slurping River's ass, driving his tongue into the young
wizard, trying to explore him as much as possible.
As he's
exploring River's ass, Ythl spreads Pylom's cheeks. Taking a cloth, he spits on
it and cleans the boy a bit, then lowers his face, his tongue meeting the lads
hole. Pylom moans loudly, into River's hole, which he them attacks with a new
fervor. The sounds excite Ythl, who begins loudly eating Pylom's ass.
For several
minutes the three-some moans, groans and slurps. Each of them is lost in their
islands of pleasure. For Pylom, the gentleness and concern is new, as new as
the feeling of a tongue on his ass, and another's ass on his tongue. He shifts
from driving his tongue into River, to licking all along River's crack and up
and over his balls to the tip of his dick."I want to be in you"
Pylom
stands, resting the tip of his dick against River's hole. He drops a glob of
spit over both. Ythl opens the jar of grease, letting the boy take two fingers
full. He smears the grease around the hole and slowly presses himself in. He
moans as his cock passes the first ring of muscles surrounding the young
wizard's hole. He moans again as Ythl greases him up.
As he slowly
presses deep into River, Ythl uses two fingers to loosen the woods-boy's ass.
After a few strokes into River, Pylom stops, his dick buried balls deep in the
blue-haired boy. He holds himself there as Ythl fingers him, then positions
himself. As Ythl presses into him, Pylom groans loudly."Ahhhh!
This is perfect"
Pylom grunts
and nods. His long, dark hair is a plastered down mess, sticking to his face
and scalp, wet with sweat.He pushes in
as far as he can, brushing lightly against River's pleasure gland. He holds
himself there.
Ythl,
meanwhile, is sliding in and out of the boy easily. He's been fucked before,
that much is clear. Ythl lets himself fuck Pylom more forcefully than he was
with River. His body smacks against Pylom's. His cock drives deep into him, and
his thrusts push Pylom more deeply into River. The cascade begins with Ythl's
cock poking Pylom's pleasure spot, which pushes the woods-boy's cock against
River's prostate more forcefully, more directly. River purrs and gasps. Pylom
grunts and groans, struggling to stay upright as his legs threaten to buckle in
sheer delight. Ythl groans at his own pleasure and at the sounds coming from
his partners."I'm going to cum, Pylom. In you or on you"
Without
hesitating, the boy answers."On. On both of our faces. Please"
Pylom grabs
his arms around the blue-haired boy, quickly and carefully holding him up with
all of his strength, then sits back down, allowing his cock to fully penetrate him
as if River were about to ride on him. River moans and cries out loud, shocked
by his strength and mesmerized by how animal they are in the act of fucking.
River puts his feet on his knees as the long-haired boy sits with his legs
spread out. He begins to ride his cock and kisses him deeply, then pauses when
he notices his teacher standing in front of them.
Ythl stares
for a moment at the sight before him. HIs apprentice, young and frail. His body
racked with illness, slim and pale with the bluest hair and the sweetest face
he's ever seen. His apprentice, naked and covered in sweat, his mouth open as
he gasps for breath and moans his joy at being fucked. His cock, the size of a
much younger boy's, even smaller the dear, sweet Liam's, hard and straining,
his balls smooth and tight.
His sweet,
young apprentice as recently as last night a virgin to being fucked is now
impaled on the hard, eager cock of a rough cast woodsboy.
Muscular and thin, as used to hard work in the sun as River is to reading, his
long, black hair plastered with sweat about his face and neck. His brown eyes
heavy with lust and pleasure, his breathing deep and measured. And that cock.
Smooth and mostly hairless, save one or two early arrivals, buried inside River's
tender ass.
Ythl steps
forward, closer to them as the twist together and kiss. He wraps one hand
tightly around his own cock, feeling its warmth and hungering for release. His
other hand braces on Pylom's shoulder. He strokes, holding his stroking hand
palm first towards the boys. They go for his hand without any words from any of
them. Licking his palm, sucking his fingers until his hand is slick with their
spit. He returns to stroking himself."Oh, gods...here it comes.."
The precum
thickens and hangs on the tip of his cock. Then, his balls surge forcing his
ejaculate out. It flies through the air. Ythl's aim is true and the first globs
of his cum strike Pylone just above his open mouth.
Continuing to shoot, Ythl adjusts, shooting streams of cum onto River's face,
then onto Pylom's. The two boys kiss hard, their tongue ravaging each other's
mouth. Ythl sprays their faces as they kiss, the cum flowing down their noses
and running over their lips. They part just enough for the wizard's cum to
become part of their kisses. Ythl moans as he strokes, milking himself to add
all of his cum to their kisses. He stops only when his balls ache and the head
of his cock cries out 'no more'.
The wizard
falls to his knees, nearly exhausted. He struggles forward, taking River's tiny
dick into his mouth and sucking his apprentice hard.
each others faces and trade
it when their tongues meet in each others mouths.
Pylom steps away for a moment, cleaning his cock off and stroking himself on
the bed as he watches the other two please each other. River gasps, whining out
loud as his toes curl and he has his dry cum. Once it's over, his fingers help
lead Ythl back up to kiss him again."Do you think I'll start to feel better if
we do stuff like this every night"
The three of
them clean off, make tea in their tiny bedroom and drink before cuddling up in
the cramped bed. River reads from his spell book before heading off to sleep.
When he does, Pylom locks an arm around him. Ythl does much of the same to the
boy next to him. They fall asleep peacefully, forgetting just for a short
moment the dangers that await them in the forest tomorrow.
In a
separate room, Hunter sits on the edge of his bed and rubs his boyfriends feet
while they converse about which trails sound the easiest to take tomorrow.
Their weapons, armor, and clothes have all been cleaned in the short amount of
time that they've spent in their room. Neither of them feel afraid about the
mission. To them, they know that the worst of it all will most likely come when
they encounter Crayus and his cult. They don't believe there's any doubt of the
possibility of them running into the bastards. That is what they fear and think
about the most.
Toby looks
down at Hunter."Yes. Yes you are" He pauses for a moment, holding his face
expressionless for a few seconds. He can't maintain it and erupts into
chuckles."I'm just as lucky to have my ginger-snap husband"
Hunter
pushes him onto his side, slapping his ass hard."What did I say about name
calling" He rushes in to kiss the cheek he just hit, then licks his way up his
back and to Toby's neck, stopping to leave a noticeable hickey.
Toby giggles
and struggles to escape. His efforts are more to tease and excite his husband
than to truly escape."Ahh, your kisses and massages are little moments of
heaven" He rolls into Hunter, kissing him deeply."Husbands. I can hardly
believe it" He traces one finger over Hunter's chest, lightly rubbing over his
husband's nipples."Do you want to fuck? Or should we save our strength"
Toby's head
shifts back slightly, a confused look passing over his face."Did he say why?
You know I love in all of your forms"
Hunter
blushes and giggles, hugging him even more. It's rare for anyone to see that
sort of affection from him, but all of the commonalities people expect of him
vanish when it's just him and Toby. His body begins to transform, fur emerging
first, and then the tail and snout. The boar smiles and his tiny red ears flap
in excitement."I think we should save our energy tonight and just cuddle. We
were up quite early this morning, so it might be best if we sleep more tonight
so that we're ready to lead the way tomorrow"
Toby
playfully nips at Hunter's ears, slowly transforming into his cub form. He
pulls Hunter close."You need a bear hug"
Hunter
groans, having heard that same pun hundreds of times. Still, when Toby wraps
his arms around him, even though he's more cub than bear, Hunter can't help but
feel safe and loved. Toby rubs his nose against Hunter's snout."Even as a bear,
you're my favorite honey. We'll rest and be ready for tomorrow" He cocks one
ear."Judging from the sounds from out there, I don't know if we'll get any
help tomorrow from the wizards" He laughs."The wizards and woodsboy. Sounds like a bad play.."
Hunter
yawns, closing his eyes and smacking his lips together."I'm gonna fall asleep,
hun. I'll see you in the morning. Night, my loving
husband" And with those words, he rests into his arms.
Toby kisses
Hunter's forehead, snuggling close to his boar-friend. He pulls the blankets up
over them and settles in. Hunter's deep, rhythmic breathing soon has Toby
drifting to sleep himself.
