He was holding a pair of sticks adorned with various types of meat and vegetables. He handed one of them to Xanth and started eating the other. "I figured we might as well get something to eat quick before we head back," Fen said with a mouthful of carrot. "This looks good, what is it?" Xanth asked. "Um, there's beef, carrots, broccoli, onion and spinach," Fen pointed out the different parts. Xanth bit off a large chunk of beef and started eating it. It was the best tasting food he had ever eaten! He hadn't realized he was so hungry until he had tasted this stuff. He quickly finished off the rest of the food on the stick, licking his fingers and lips once he was done. "Alright, now we can head back up to the Castle, I received a pigeon with some instructions for you. It says you are to report to Master Hendin, the High Wizard wants you to know your letters, something about being easier to teach you magic if you already knew how to read," Fen shrugged and handed Xanth the letter. Fen lead him back up to the Castle and showed him where Master Hendin's study was. "I'll be back in your room, I need to clean out the tub and find you some more clothes to wear for the rest of the week. Will you be able to find your way back to the room from here?" Fen asked. "Yes, I can manage," Xanth said. "Good, see you later this evening," Fen ran off toward the Living Quarters and Xanth was left to enter Master Hendin's study on his own. He knocked three times, heard no response and decided to let himself in. As he entered, he could tell that the study was poorly lit, only one or two candles burned. Master Hendin himself was fast asleep on his desk, a pen in his hand and several sheets of paper under his cheek. Xanth gently shook Master Hendin, attempting to wake him up. It took a few minutes, but eventually the old man was roused from his slumber. He grumbled as he sat up and after a quick adjustment of his crooked glasses, he came to awareness. "Now who are you?" He asked, viewing Xanth. "I'm Xanth, I was told to report to you for learning," He handed Master Hendin the letter from Fen. Master Hendin scanned over the letter. "Ah yes of course! That would make sense, yes, alright. Well, let us begin then. If I remember correctly, you are entirely illiterate yes?" "I don't know my letters, at all," Xanth admitted. "Ah, so from the beginning then, its been a while since I've had to start from complete scratch with a boy your age, but I suppose I'll reorient myself to it nevertheless," Master Hendin dug around in his piles of books and paper, he found an extra pen and more than enough pieces of blank paper. He began by teaching Xanth the alphabet. He taught him how to identify the letters, and what sounds they each made. By the end of the three hour lesson, Xanth was able to easily recognize each letter and make its corresponding sound. "Very good! I think that's an excellent stopping point for today. Be here tomorrow at the same time and we will pick up where we left off today," Master Hendin smiled at Xanth and ushered him out of his study. "Thank you Master Hendin," Xanth said in appreciation. "Of course my boy, it's nice to have such an apt student, especially with no background in a scribes work." He smiled and politely shut the door, ending the conversation. Xanth made his way back toward the Living Quarters. Several servants were scurrying about, performing various tasks for their masters. Xanth did his best to stay out of their way, though they were far more adept at avoiding him than he was them. He was approaching a fork in the road, three different passages in three different directions. He couldn't remember which one to take, so he simply chose one. They all had to lead somewhere, might as well check each of them out. The first one he chose was the door on left. As he walked down the hallway, he noticed it smelled like laundry. Once he reached the end of the hallway, he realized it was in fact the laundry pools. It smelled strange so he quickly turned around and returned to the fork in the passageway. This time he took the middle path, it was a longer hallway, but it didn't smell of laundry. He continued walking, but every so often he would come across decorations that he didn't remember being around. In fact, the whole hallway seemed to be more lavishly decorated than the rest of the Castle. He wondered where he was, but it didn't stop him from exploring. He soon found himself in a small courtyard, there was a man, slightly older than him sitting on a nearby bench with his face in his hands. He was wearing very nice clothing, but he seemed distressed. Xanth walked over to him, "Is there anything I can help you with?" The man looked up, he couldn't be an older than 22 or 23. Xanth didn't notice the crown sitting on the bench next to him. "Who are you?" the young man asked. "I am Xanth, I'm an Apprentice Wizard," Xanth identified himself, "Who are you?" He asked in return. "I beg your pardon?" the man asked, becoming annoyed. "I asked you who you were," Xanth said. "How dare you speak to me that way!" The man stood up and backhanded Xanth across the face. Xanth recovered surprisingly fast and punched the young man straight in the nose. His head snapped back and blood sprayed from his broken nose. A pair of Castle guards came running into the courtyard with their swords drawn, they immediately went for Xanth, one of them was beginning to raise his sword to strike a killing blow, but the young man yelled. "DON'T!" He wiped some blood off of his face with his sleeve. "Haha! It's been a while since a man was willing to hit me back," he said, a large smile spreading across his face. "You struck me first, I only defended myself," Xanth said. "Of course, I wasn't debating that. You really don't know who I am do you?" The young man asked. "I'm afraid not. Should I know you?" Xanth asked. "I'm Prince Edmund." Xanth suddenly realized what he had just done. Punching the Prince in the face was a fairly bad thing to do. "My apologies Prince Edmund, I wasn't aware of your identity. I haven't been in the Castle for more than a few hours," Xanth bowed to the Prince like Fen had shown him. "No apology necessary, just don't hit me again," Prince Edmund stood up off the ground and waved for the guards to leave, "So you're going to be my new classmate," he said. "Huh?" Xanth muttered. "Don't let your jaw hang open like that, its unattractive. I'm also an Apprentice Wizard, we will be having our classes together," the Prince said. "Oh," Xanth replied. "Oh? Don't be so shy around me, I'm not going to punish you for breaking my nose," Prince Edmund said. "Okay, I was a little worried," Xanth admitted. "Well stop worrying. Damn, I need to go change out of these clothes and bathe now, I've got blood everywhere. You really know how to throw a punch, Xanth, I think you should come train with me during my combat classes from now on, a fellow like you could go far with those skills," Prince Edmund clapped Xanth on the back. "That sounds like fun my Prince," Xanth replied. "Good, be at the training grounds tomorrow at sunrise. I trust you have been provided with a man-servant?" the Prince asked. "Yes, Fen," Xanth replied. "Ah yes, Fen. One of the more gifted man-servants if you ask me," the Prince winked at Xanth, "Fen will be able to show you the training grounds, please don't be late." Prince Edmund shook Xanth's hand and then took his leave. Xanth wasted no time in getting back to his room, he had more than enough exploring for today. As soon as he was in the room, he shut the door behind himself and slumped to the floor. Fen came running over to make sure he was alright. "What happened? Are you hurt?" Fen asked, a steel-like anger coming into his voice. "No, I'm not hurt. I punched the Prince in the face, probably broke his nose," Xanth explained. Fen fainted. It took Xanth nearly 10 minutes to get Fen awake. Fen was immediately full of questions about what had happened and why. He was also intensely interested in how the Prince had reacted. "So he's not going to have you executed?" Fen asked, flabbergasted. "I guess not, he asked me to meet him at the training grounds tomorrow morning at sunrise. He wants me to participate in his combat training classes," Xanth said. "I can't believe it. You are probably the first and last person to ever get away with striking a member of the Royal Family and not getting killed for it, unbelievable!" Fen exclaimed. "I need to learn the Royal Family and their faces, otherwise I might get killed!" Xanth said. "Good idea, I'll see what I can accomplish on that front, maybe I can get some portraits of them or something. In the meantime, you should get up off the floor," Fen helped Xanth stand up. "So what's the plan for the rest of the evening?" Xanth asked. "Well that's really up to you. As far as I'm aware, your Master's have given you the night to yourself, you can pretty much do whatever you want aside from hitting a member of the Royal Family," Fen said, smiling. "Would you mind playing with my cock again? That felt really good the first time you did it," Xanth said, already feeling his cock swell and lengthen. "Of course!" Fen pushed Xanth back onto the bed and started methodically removing his clothing, piece by piece. Soon, Xanth was laying on the bed his thick cock standing proudly up between his legs. Fen went crazy on Xanth's cock, licking and sucking and stroking him with every ounce of skill he could muster. Xanth was pleased that he lasted longer this time. It felt really good to orgasm, but it also felt good when Fen's lips were sliding up and down his shaft. After about twenty minutes of Fen sucking his cock, Xanth suddenly wanted more. He didn't know exactly how it worked, but he knew he wanted to have sex. "Fen, I want to have sex with you," Xanth figured he might as well just come out and say it. "Truly?" Fen asked. "Yes, I'm too worked up for just your mouth, I need something more," Xanth said, starting to pant with desire and heat. "I'm yours, do with me what you want," Fen said. "I've never done this before," Xanth said. "Oh right, I should have known that," Fen replied. Fen expertly took control of the situation, guiding Xanth's face into his ass, "Lick my hole, get it nice and wet, the more wet you can make it, the easier it will be to slide you cock inside," Fen moaned as Xanth pushed his tongue deep into his ass. Xanth licked and sucked and shoved his tongue all over, making sure Fen's hole was dripping with saliva. Fen's moans were driving Xanth wild with passion, he instinctively guided his cock to Fen's hole and slowly pushed it inside. He gasped as Fen's tight hole clasped his cock, it felt so amazing. Fen was squealing as Xanth started thrusting back and forth, humping Fen's ass as hard as his muscles would allow. Fen's entire body was being rocked, each time Xanth thrust as deep as he could go, Fen felt himself get closer to cumming. Xanth had a really big dick, one of the bigger dicks Fen had ever seen. It was thick and long and oh so pleasing, Fen's own cock was rock hard, he was in intense pleasure with a dick up his ass. "I'm gonna blow, here it comes," Xanth said, humping as fast as he could. After a few seconds, Fen felt hot cum spurt into his ass, Xanth was breathing heavily and still thrusting slowly but surely. "I can feel your seed inside of me!" Fen said between moans of pure pleasure, "Go hard, deep as you can," Fen begged. Xanth couldn't resist, his dick was still hard and now his own cum was lubricating Fen's bowels, allowing his cock to slide in and out with ease. After about a minute of this, Xanth new he was going to cum again, his dick wasn't decreasing in size, it felt like it was getting harder. He repositioned himself so that Fen was riding his dick, and he let Fen do the work. Fen looked sexy as he rocked his hips back and forth across Xanth's groin. Fen was picking up the pace, working his body in tandem with Xanth. Soon Fen knew it was time, he could feel Xanth's balls tighten up, getting closer to his cock, and he could feel his own orgasm building. He added a bouncing motion to his rocking motion and that was enough to drive them both over the edge. Cum spurted out of Fen's cock and all across Xanth's face and chest. Xanth felt his own cock let creamy ropes of cum spray out into Fen's ass. It was amazing, never had he felt such a powerful connection with someone before in his life. "Wow, that was literally the best sex I've had in over a year," Fen said, licking globes of his own cum off of Xanth's face. "Yeah, it was amazing," Xanth said, panting. A slick of sweat covered both young men, the pungent smell of semen and testosterone filled the air. "We both need to bathe," Fen said, pulling Xanth out of bed and into the tub of warm water. Fen climbed into the large tub with Xanth and they gave each other a full body rubdown, making sure soap filled every crevice on their bodies. Once they were clean and rinsed, Fen got dressed, emptied the tub and cleaned it. Xanth was in the process of getting dressed himself, when someone knocked on the door. "I'll get it, finish getting dressed," Fen said, answering the door. Xanth couldn't hear what was being said, but he could tell it sounded urgent. Fen bowed and then shut the door, "It seems you made a good impression on the handsome Prince, he has requested that you dine with him this evening," Fen said. "He is rather handsome isn't he?" Xanth agreed. "Well, this changes some things, I'll need to find you something better to wear, dinner with the Prince dictates that you need to look nice. Its a shame you don't have your robes yet, that would be best, but we will have to make due," Fen started fussing about in the wardrobe again, tossing out random articles of clothing and muttering to himself. "Does Prince Edmund usually invite people like me to dinner?" Xanth asked. "No, I've never known him to do it. Although, you should know, you won't be dining alone with him. He has a group of friends among the nobles, the younger men, we are all the same age group. It would seem that he wishes you to be a part of his inner circle of friends," Fen hypothesized. "I'm excited! I wouldn't mind getting to know him on a personal level," Xanth admitted, laughing. "Well, I won't give anything away for you, you will just have to figure that out," Fen replied. Fen exited the room in search of clothing that would be appropriate for Xanth to wear to dinner with the Prince. He needed to look nice, but not overly dressed, it was only the Prince after all. While Fen was away, Xanth used the alone time to admire himself in the mirror. He was still getting used to the new look Fen had given him. He had never had so little hair, nor had he been so clean in his life. Everything was happening so fast, his entire life had been turned upside down with the revelation that he was able to control magic. He had to make this work, he hoped the Prince wouldn't hate him. Xanth washed his face in the water basin and then sat himself down in a chair to wait for Fen. Luckily he didn't have to wait long, Fen was rarely gone for more than a few minutes. Fen had a massive bundle of clothing in his arms, doing his best not to drop any of it on the ground. "I think we will be able to make you look nice with the stuff I have been able to find," Fen said, piling the clothes onto the bed. He immediately went to work sorting it into outfits, spreading it all out on the bed so he could look at everything with a critical eye. "I trust your judgment at this point, I'm not used to having such nice clothes available to me," Xanth said. "Don't worry, you will look decent enough, try this on," Fen handed him a pair of snug-fitting pants. Xanth fit into them but they were fairly tight. "If I sit down, my balls will be crushed in these," Xanth said, smirking. "Yeah, there's no way those are going to work," Fen agreed. He selected another pair of pants and gave them to Xanth. As he was putting them on, Xanth liked the way the feel of the fabric felt against his skin. It was soft and fit just about right, they were a dark blue color. "I like these," Xanth said, looking at himself again in the mirror. "Try this, I know its black, but I think you will look good in dark blue pants and a black shirt. Nice black dress shoes too," Fen said, grabbing up a pair of shoes. Once Xanth was completely dressed, Fen took several steps back from him and looked him over. "You look positively attractive," Fen said, clapping his hands together with excitement. "Thank you," Xanth said, a huge smile on his face as he blushed. "Well, I will lead you down to the Prince's dining room, but I won't be able to follow you in. You will be on your own in there, so please try not to make a fool of yourself," Fen said, trying not to laugh. "Haha very funny..." Xanth said, not lauging at all. "Lighten up, the Prince is bound to make fun of you a little and you simply can't take it badly," Fen warned. "You are right, I'm sorry," Xanth said, "I just don't like it, the kids at the orphanage used to make fun of me all the time," he explained. "Move past it, just laugh along with his jokes, even if they are about you. Even the occasional jest directed back at him is probably fine as long as you don't truly insult him" Fen said. "I think I will be fine," Xanth said finally. "Confidence, that's sexy," Fen leaned in and kissed Xanth. Once they finished their kiss, Fen grabbed Xanth's hand and led him out of the room. They worked their way through the maze of hallways that composed the interior of the castle. Fen tried to point out various passageways and rooms that he thought might be useful for Xanth to know. After a few minutes, Xanth couldn't take it, "There is no possible way I will remember them all at this point. I'm sure I will learn them in time, but right now I'd rather just get to dinner," Xanth said. "Excellent! Now you are starting to talk like a noble, even if you aren't actually a noble by blood," Fen said. He abruptly stopped outside of a large double-doored entryway. The doors were shut, a pair of large burly men in leather armor were standing to either side. They evidently recognized Fen because they made no attempt to stop him from opening the door, they simply inclined their heads toward him. As Fen entered, he announced in a audible yet unobtrusive voice, "I present Xanth, Apprentice Wizard." "Excellent! I'm glad you decided to join us," the Prince said, standing and immediately walking over to shake Xanth's hand. Xanth returned the handshake and allowed himself to be guided into a seat near the middle of the table, about four seats down from the Prince. Fen quietly exited the dinning room and shut the doors. There were now nine people seated around the table. seven young men all in their early twenties, the Prince of course, and a young woman, seated directly across from Xanth. She was very beautiful, dark red curly hair, fiercely green eyes, and porcelain white skin. Xanth had to force himself to look away from her, despite his sexual attraction to men. "So Xanth, I'd like to introduce you to my closest friends," He pointed to the woman first, "We will start with my sister, Princess Rosalin, then there's Sleven, Markus, Rathan, Fostin, Augustus...we call him Gus, and my little brother Prince Venosh, who as you can see, is Princess Rosalin's twin," There was a chorus of greetings as everyone tried to talk at once. After a few seconds, everyone stopped talking at once. They all started laughing and handed Xanth a glass of wine, toasting to the health of the Royal Family. Xanth was amazed at how nice they all seemed, welcoming him into their circle like he had always been a part of it. He wasn't used to wine though, and it didn't take much for him to start feeling a buzz. Prince Venosh was incredible, a red head like Rosalin, green eyes to match, but he had more freckles than Rosalin. An obvious sign that he spent more time outside in the sun than Rosalin. He was tall and lean, he kept a shaved face and a short length haircut. Xanth took the opportunity to look Prince Edmund over. Unlike his siblings, the older Prince wasn't a red head. He had a dirty blond color to his hair, and his skin was slightly darker in tone. His facial structure matched his brother and sister though, the same angular features. Xanth noticed they were all relatively tall too, though not freakishly so. "So Xanth, I hear you did a good job impressing the High Wizard," Princess Rosalin said. "Yeah, I heard he tried the burn test on you, and you grabbed the fire out of his hand," Prince Edmund added. "I did," Xanth said simply, not wanting to sound arrogant. "Ha! That's awesome! Wait until that gets around at the Magical Studies Library," Prince Venosh said. "Well, I'm sure glad that Mandrig finally found himself an apprentice, I'm sick of hearing him complain about it," Prince Edmund commented. They all laughed again, and drank from their wine glasses. "I think this will be my last glass of wine for the evening, we have practice in the morning gentlemen," Prince Edmund said. "Hey Xanth! You gonna be there?" Rathan asked. "Yeah, Prince Edmund invited me earlier. I warn you all though, I don't have any experience," Xanth admitted. "Its alright, a few weeks with us and we will have you caught up, don't worry. I am to be King someday, I expect us all to remain in good condition so that we can better defend the Kingdom from her enemies," Prince Edmund said. They all finished their glasses of wine to that and said their good nights. The Royals remained in their seats as everyone else stood, Xanth started to stand himself but Prince Edmund motioned that he stay. "No Xanth, I would speak with you for a bit," he said. Xanth sat back down. Prince Edmund waited until everyone had left before he spoke, "Xanth, I'm going to be forward with you. I don't like when people beat around the bush. I...that is, my siblings and I need your help. The three of us are Apprentice Wizards, just like you, although we are further along in our learning than you. We have learned of a spell, the Quadrax Infinium, we need four Wizards of similar age and skill in order to cast and control the spell. I want you to be that Wizard, the mere fact that you were able to reach out and take a fireball from a High Wizards own hand is amazing. What say you to my offer?" Prince Edmund asked. The twins were watching him intently, attempting to read his thoughts through his expressions and emotions. "I'd be honored! Thank you my Prince, I only hope I am able to live up to your expectations," Xanth said hurriedly, excitement driving his voice. "Excellent, then we here at this table are from this point forward to be known as Coterie, we will study together, learn each other's strengths and weaknesses and become a powerful group of Wizards," Prince Edmund shared his plans for them. Xanth felt happy, he was being asked to join something, the first time that had ever happened in his life. "I am honored, Prince Edmund," Xanth said, bowing his head. "There is no need for that in private, Xanth, only in public will you treat me as a Prince. In private we are equals, a Coterie, one day, when I become King, I will tell the world about my Coterie, but until then, we are to keep this a secret, do you all understand? Not even Mother and Father can know about this," Prince Edmund said, a serious note in his voice. They all acknowledged their understanding and gave their vow of loyalty. Xanth was proud to be a part of this, his instincts told him that he would be a powerful wizard. Prince Edmund shook Xanths hand, hugged his siblings good night and left. Princess Rosalin curtsied to them all and followed him out. "Xanth, my you are a cute one," Prince Venosh said, walking up to Xanth, "Do you enjoy sharing your bed with men? Because if you do, I extend an invitation for you to join me in my chambers this evening. I'd like to get to know you in a naked play sorta way," he said it deliberately corny, making Xanth laugh. "Fen is my man-servant, so I've shared a bed with a man before, it was amazing," Xanth said, blushing. "Wow, you are adorable when you blush," Prince Venosh said, which only succeeded in making Xanth more red. Prince Venosh laughed, "Don't worry, I won't bite. I'll send my man-servant to your chambers when I'm ready for you to come," he explained. "Of course my Prince," Xanth said. Venosh turned and left the dining hall, Fen came in as soon as Prince Venosh was gone. "So, how did it go?" He asked. "It went well, they seemed to really like me. I've drank a fair amount of wine though," Xanth said, smiling. "Ah yes, wait until tomorrow morning," Fen said, laughing. "Well, Prince Venosh has invited me to his chambers this evening, he said he would send his man-servant to get me when he was ready for me," Xanth explained. "What? I didn't know his tastes were with men! How strange, I didn't think any of the royal family aside from Prince Edmund on occasion liked sleeping with the same sex," Fen appeared to be considering past events in his head. "Well, in any case, I'd like to get back to the room so that I don't miss his man-servant. Prince Venosh is a handsome young man, I'd like to play with him," Xanth said, getting slightly hard with anticipation. "Calm yourself hound dog, follow me," Fen walked with Xanth back to the room. Thankfully Xanth wasn't so drunk that he couldn't walk by himself, he stumbled only twice the entire ten minutes it took to get back to his room. "Here we are," Fen said, opening the door. "I suggest you drink a glass of water, maybe chew on some mint," Fen said, handing Xanth both after grabbing them off of a wooden table top in the corner. Xanth did as he was told and was surprised at the flavor of the mint in his mouth. "Will you be needing anything else this evening?" Fen asked. "No, I think you've done more than enough Fen, just please make sure I'm up in time tomorrow morning to go and train with Prince Edmund," Xanth said. "Prince Venosh attends those training classes himself, I'm certain his man-servant will see to it that you are awake on time," Fen said. "Do I detect a hint of jealousy in your voice?" Xanth asked, lightly punching Fen in the shoulder. "It's just that I've serviced Prince Edmund many times, but never once has Prince Venosh asked me to share his bed," Fen said, sounding a little hurt. "Well, I wouldn't think too much about it, I like playing with you, and I'm hard often enough that I'm sure there will be more than enough of me to share with you both," Xanth said, laughing. Fen finally allowed himself to smile and laugh too. "Have a good night Fen, I will be fine on my own for a bit," Xanth hugged Fen. "I'll meet you at the training grounds tomorrow morning, trust me, you will need someone there to help you," Fen said, a large grin on his face. "What's that supposed to mean?" Xanth asked, a slightly worried look spreading over his face. "Lets just leave it at that, you can wait and see tomorrow," Fen said mischievously. He slid out of the room quietly, leaving Xanth alone. Xanth splashed some cold water on his face and dried it with a nearby towel. He was fully erect now, so excited about his coming night with Prince Venosh that he was already trying to picture him naked, imagine what a ginger would look like naked. Xanth was debating whether or not to quickly masturbate before Prince Venosh's man-servant arrived when he heard a sharp rap-rap-rap at the door. He did his best to tuck his boner away but was mostly unsuccessful, his cock was just too big. He shrugged and opened the door anyway, watching Prince Venosh himself look straight down at his crotch. "Getting started without me there sexy?" Prince Venosh asked, laughing. "I was just thinking about what was going to happen tonight," Xanth said, feeling no need to lie. "Me too, that's why I decided to come myself. I figured it would be nice to walk you to my room personally instead of having my man-servant drag you the whole way," he explained. "That was very nice of you, my Prince," Xanth said, blushing slightly. "There's that blush again!" Prince Venosh said rushing Xanth and grabbing him up in a huge hug. Prince Venosh ran kisses up and down Xanths neck, tasting his skin, letting Xanths pheromones drive him wild. "I'm going to start striping you in the hallway unless we get back to my room immediately," Prince Venosh said. "Lead the way, stud," Xanth said, gesturing down the hallway. "Actually, its the other direction," Prince Venosh said, pointing in the opposite direction and wiggling his ass at Xanth. He took off running, enticing Xanth into chasing him, Xanth still sporting a huge boner, running at full speed after Prince Venosh was regular conversation among the servants for the next two weeks. Though somehow the King and Queen were never made aware of it. P.S. Sorry about the cliffhanger between Prince Venosh and Xanth, I will make that sex scene the beginning of chapter 3. I'm planning on making chapter 3 a much longer chapter, I'll have it out here in two or three days.
