       Cult Life

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       It had been a tough fight but ultimately, Gaur had been
       captured. He tried his best to die in battle, to not give up,
       but eventually, some people showed up that just goaded and ran
       him in circles until he was too tired to fight back. Shackled
       and chained up in a holding cells  where they were throwing
       those the 'God king' wanted to test and seeing if any could take
       a shine to the silent orc.
       ----
       Dealing with and handling the heavily tattooed elf shifter mix
       was quite a dangerous endeavor for those given the job. Cedrionn
       snarled, hissed and made made use of the past six animal spirits
       he'd possessed to hurt and maim any that got too close to him.
       Finally they'd had enough, dumping the mad creature into the
       "pit" with the half orc. What they didn't realize was that
       Cedrionn was only pretending to be a feral being. He was
       actually far smarter than the men dealing with him.
       The moment he was alone with the orc, he shifted his body and
       got out of the shackles that had been binding him.
       "Idiots thinking iron can bind a half elf," the man snorted in
       amusement and then spied the still shackled orc and cocked his
       head to look the other over closely.
       "Ya be an alpha, why don't ya break free of your chains? Need a
       hand?" He asked moving a bit closer to look the other over
       closely. "Wanna blow this joint?" He asked in a lower voice, a
       cocky grin on his mouth.
       ---
       When a raging elf was thrown in with him, Gaur barely payed any
       mind to the man. At least not until he was spoken to. Not many
       beings even assumed he would understand.
       "There is no escape. I could not be slain in battle, I am
       disgraced..." He explained bluntly. "No point in escape...." He
       added as he closed his eyes, clearly having lost his fight.
       ---
       "oh come now, you're giving up already? Such a shame a handsome
       one like you would let them fu.ck you over," Cedrionn commented
       with a shake of his head.  "Such a waste," he muttered taking in
       the other's strong muscular body with his keen eyes.
       He might feel the same way if his bonded animal has been
       captured, but Airres had proved too swift and clever at hiding
       for his captors to catch.
       "If ya really want to die, I could give ya a hand with that. But
       first I'll need a hand surviving the whole test thing. Kind of
       need a partner, it sounds like. What do ya say? I'll give you a
       quick merciful death after,"
       ----
       A snort came from Gaur at the elf's attempt to goad him and even
       calling the beast handsome. It got a bit of a blush out of him.
       Then, he saw the man switching tactics in offering him a
       merciful death.
       It got a roar out of him in frustration. "I don't want your
       *mercy* I should have died on the battle field with my kin, then
       my tribe, What is the point if I just lose everything again..."
       He questioned as he threw a large rock that was near him at the
       nearest wall.
       It caused their cage to shake for a moment before the Orc was
       settled again. With a dead spirit, it would be hard to get the
       Orc to care.
       ----
       Cedrionn was pleased with the blush he'd gotten out of the
       other.  Even the roar was a good sign. It meant the guy still
       had fight left in him, though his talk of dying on the
       battlefield wasn't all that encouraging.
       "Have you thought of what you could gain though? It's true these
       people seem a bit mad and power hungry, but there's likely to be
       some gains to be had. Revenge perhaps? Or even..someone to be a
       partner in whatever aspect you'd want. There's likely a reason
       the gods spared the both of us from death. I was a hairs breath
       away," he mentioned and moved to sit next to the orc, laying a
       gentle hand on the other's knee.
       "I know how hard it is to lose those you care about. Being alone
       in the world is by far the worst. We could...be more than just
       partners in battle; if of course that's something you'd be
       interested in,"
       ----
       It seemed the elf wasn't one to be easily detoured as he kept
       talked and even moved to sit next to him. The man spoke of
       gaining something from all of this and when he turned to speak
       of gaining a partner in other aspects it got him to raise and
       eyebrow as the blush returned and even deepened at the hand on
       his knee. A suggestion of *more* than partners. "You... are a
       very handsome man... I... could hurt you badly if we were to...
       try something like that..." He said already envisioning himself
       losing control.
       He hadn't ever had anyone come onto him like this so it roused
       the part of his instincts that still were on the look for a
       mate.
       ----
       Cedrionn was quite taken with how easily the orc reacted to his
       touch and suggestion of being possibly mates.
       He burst out in an amused laugh and leaned in closer at the
       other's saying he'd get hurt.
       "You and our captors both think that way. I'm a lot tougher than
       I appear to be. I'll let you in on my secret, but best keep it
       to yourself,"
       Cedrionn moved to lean in closer, his lips against the others
       ear as he whispered super softly, likely tickling the others ear
       a bit.
       "Once I've possessed an animal or shifted into them, I retain
       their strengths. I can tap into them at will. I've actually been
       an orc before. So I can take *all* of what you give and then
       some," he added in a purr. "just...how big are you?"
       ----
       The laughter Gaur had gotten as a reaction got a puzzled
       expression out of the Orc before promising to tell him a secret,
       getting even close to the point that the man's lips were against
       his ear.
       The words tickling his ear and making him shiver at the way the
       elf spoke, even earning a grumbling growl out of him at the
       question of his size.
       "I'm an alpha, I'm as big as my kind get..." He answered,
       finding himself leaning into the man. "Suppose... if I took
       you... would have to try and keep you alive after..." He
       grumbled as he found himself actually considering such an
       arrangement.
       -----
       Cedrionn grinned at the other's grumbling growl, his grin
       stretching even wider at the orc's saying he was the biggest.
       "Da.mn, can't wait to see and get a taste," he murmured back and
       his tongue darted out to tease the other's ear lightly before
       leaning in and nibbling it gently.
       "I would be most appreciative if you did," he purred back,
       letting a hand slide up the orc's neck and turning his face
       towards him.
       "I'll have to get you nice and wet first though, maybe get a bit
       of a taste too."
       Then he leaned in to kiss the orc deeply on the lips, his hands
       grabbing the others hair a bit roughly.
       -----
       Another shiver ran through Gaur at the combination of the elf's
       seductive words and teasing tounge and teeth. His breath caught
       in his throat when the hand trailed up is neck before he was
       turned to face his suitor. Getting yet another blush out of him
       talking to crudely before his lips were captured by the sweet
       lips of the helf elf. The pull to his hair igniting the passion
       inside of him as his iron clad arms reached out and pulled the
       man into his lap as he gave in fully as he made out with the
       man.
       "What is your name?" He questioned when the kiss finally broke.
       ----
       Cedrionn felt slightly conflicted over using the orc's desire to
       manipulate him in such a way. However he was prepared to do
       whatever it took to survive the "test" that the crazed monarch
       (or was it former king?) was forcing them into.
       If he were honest though, he was attracted and drawn to the half
       orc in ways he hadn't been in a very long time. This might have
       been a tactical move at the start, but he was quite sure that in
       time it'd become far more to the both of them.
       Cedrionn eagerly made out with the orc, grinding himself over
       the other's lap just a little until they came up for air.
       "Cedrionn," he said slowly pronouncing it for his soon to be
       mate and lover. "And what's your's handsome?" He asked pulling
       at the orc's shirt wanting to see more of the orc's muscular
       body.
       "Let me undress you so I can feast on you properly,"
       Cedrionn could feel eyes on them but didn't care one iota about
       that. He was quite eager to let the orc claim him and start
       their bond.
       ----
       "Gaur," the Orc alpha answered, gis body already reacting to
       what Cedrionn was doing, practically dancing in his lap. When
       the man pulled on his shirt, he tried his best to get it off but
       his shackles making it quite impossible without wripping it off.
       "You can undress me and do whatever you please," the growly Orc
       told his soon to be lover, who had bound his own hands up in the
       shirt at this point trying to get it off.
       -----
       "Gaur, such a sexy name," Cedrionn purred, rolling the r a bit.
       Finding it next to impossible to get the shirt off with the
       others shackles he made the decision to turn it into a vest,
       ripping it down the middle to get a better look at the others
       impressive chest and defined abdomen.
       "I'll get you a new shirt," he muttered sliding his hands over
       Gaur's body and then worked the orc's pants open quickly.
       "As you wish," Ced purred back, moving off to whip off his own
       clothes before pulling the orc's pants away to see what he had
       to work with.
       "Mmm now that is a good size," he praised, not the least bit
       afraid of the massive shaft he was to take.
       He turned slightly hearing a few of the other captured ones
       gasping and saying how impossible it would be to take such a
       monster.
       "Ignore them, just pay attention to me," he told Gaur as he
       moved down to lick and work on wetting up his soon to be mate.
       Using his ability, he shifted  his mouth, unhinged his jaw and
       got the massive member into his mouth to suck and pleasure Gaur
       easily. Then again used his shifting to slick himself up and
       stretched himself out groaning a bit before moving to climb into
       the other's lap to slowly sink onto Gaur.
       Much to the shock of everyone he took every inch of the cock
       inside him. "Ahhh yes!" He cried out, his hands bracing on the
       orc's shoulders. "Fu.ck me now, no holding back," he ordered,
       his tattoos and eyes glowing with power and lust.
       ----
       A look of surprise came to Gaur when Ced ripped his shirt open
       before promising to get him a new one. The roaming hands getting
       quite the positive reaction out of the Orc. The lust in his eyes
       grew seeing the elf strip out of his clothes before pulling the
       monster of a member Gaur had been hiding that was already quite
       hard, the gasps and comments making him feel shy but after the
       redirection and attention Cedrionn gave him, even managing to
       take the full length down his throat, Gaur was rock hard and
       ready.
       He couldn't pull his eyes from Ced when the man finally pulled
       away and settled himself to take the huge co.ck and couldn't
       stifle his own moan when he felt the man take *all* of him. The
       command to fu.ck him without holding back was all the
       encouragement he needed as his hips began to roughly thrust up
       into his new lover.
       Soon, any control he was retaining was lost as he soon pinned
       the man against the nearest wall and savagely used him and
       claimed his body for his own until he finally came so much
       inside of the elf the man looked like he was pregnant from the
       volume. "Mine," he growled when he finally pulled away and laid
       out on the ground nice and tired.
       -----
       Cedrionn was quite vocal and loud as Gaur claimed him, fu.cking
       him with a furious animal intensity that had his body actually
       sing. It had been an age and a half since he'd had a lover this
       good.
       Even after it was over, his body was tingling and the rune
       tattoos glowed brightly as he caught his breath and senses.
       Enough that he spied the one spying from the shadows and smirked
       a bit.
       He was sure the fellow would report to the "king" he so
       fervently followed.
       "Yes, and you are mine," Cedrionn replied immediately working
       the cum out of his body, not wanting any seed to take hold.
       There was always the possibility of a bond cementing other
       things as well. Not that he wanted that to be known by these
       crazed folk. Once he was free of the mess , Cedrionn moved to
       lay out lazily on top of his lover and mate, his fingers
       creating patterns on the other's upper left arm.
       *"Asafarr astarit su darenae amoritae infinite,"* he spoke out
       his Bonding spell and the mark flashed a bright red before
       settling to a dark brown on Gaur's skin. "There..now you're mine
       forever," he purred with satisfied gleam in his eyes and leaned
       in to claim a steamy kiss.
       ----
       It was several long moments feeling so blissed out before he
       felt Cedrionn crawl on top of him and settle, saying strange
       words before he felt a burning on his skin, getting him to at
       least look as he watched the mark appear. A smirk coming to his
       lips at what his new mate said.
       "Good," was all the Orc murmered before gladly kissing his lover
       back, feeling that little bit more whole with his new mate in
       his arms.
       Once recovered and managing to get at least Cedrionn redressed,
       Gaur moved so his back was against the wall and his mate was in
       his arms between his legs, a protective stance and also a
       challenging one, as if daring someone to try and touch his new
       mate.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Cedrionn grinned back very pleased to have affected the Orc
       enough to look so pleased by being claimed. It was quite a shift
       from the orc's earlier behavior and demeanor.
       He didn't object as his mate helped him get redressed and then
       used him to shield his mate's naked state. "Let me help you with
       your pants at least. That's the last free show these people are
       getting," he said a bit possessively.
       Once that was accomplished the sound of approaching footsteps
       came from above the pit.
       "About to get some company," he sighed, his hand grasping onto
       Gaur's arm a bit tightly.
       The shadow shifter's face appeared after a minute to look down
       on the caged captives.
       "Find your partners, the test behind,"
       "Got mine right here," Cedrionn spoke up lifting Guar's arm up.
       "You sure you want to subject everyone to this test? Could just
       say what the hell you want from us instead of locking us up,"
       Amon blinked a bit taken back by the half elf's attitude. They'd
       killed his clan and the guy didn't seem to care. He shot a
       questioning look at Abaddon and Nisha, unsure of how to answer.
       -----
       Hearing the possessive way Cedrionn spoke and got Gaur covered
       up had the Orc smirking. He rather liked this little elf. He was
       hot, sassy, and damned determined to survive. He felt the way
       Ced tightened his grip on his arm.
       He tensed when he heard the coming footsteps to see their
       captors arrive. His arms wrapped around His elf and let out a
       low growl.
       The naga raised an eyebrow at the new development. "Looks like
       the you found yourself a pet, need proof you can keep the beast
       under control. The test should be fun," Nisha mused with a quite
       wide smirk.
       -----
       Abaddon.. who by this time was delving into his madness seemed
       to look at the two differently.. it reminded him of how he and
       Nisha were from the beginning.”The test is for everyone- you’ll
       face the ruin monsters to prove your worth to me- show me that
       you deserve to live by showing your strength and how you two
       work together.. if you live- you’ll be among the chosen blessed
       ones..” he said to turn slowly.”get started Amon…” he told the
       man to offer his arm to Nisha.
       ----
       Cedrionn glanced down at the arm around him, and grinned. He
       rather liked this possessive protective side of Gaur.
       His grin vanished at the naga's reply, his eyes flashing as his
       anger rose at her calling Gaur a pet.
       "He's my mate. If you wish to be treated with respect,  do not
       refer to him in that way again. One does not control a mate. One
       works with their mate, yes?"
       He could already tell the naga was going to rub him the wrong
       way.  Not that it mattered, he was never going to be her friend
       anyway.
       His attention shifted to the man next to Abaddon as the monarch
       spoke of the test and the ruin monsters they'd be up against.
       "So... Do you wish these monsters destroyed or just knocked out
       to prove our skills? It'd be tough finding new monsters for your
       test. Though I suppose that job could fall to us, should we
       survive the encounter," he mused.
       Though he had no clue what creatures they had hidden in the
       ruins, he was certain he and Gaur had better chances than the
       others there.
       He couldn't help but roll his eyes at the talk of being a
       "blessed one".
       "Yes yes, by all means let's get this show started,"
       Amon was rather surprised by the halfling's attitude and moved
       to trigger the locks to open on the cages. "Proceed through the
       labyrinth, the pair that survives and takes the others out will
       go to the test in the ruins,"  he explained and then opened a
       gate that led to the labyrinth maze. "There are weapons along
       the way that will come in handy for the final fight,"
       After this he triggered the locks on the chains to loosen as
       well.
       ++-+
       A look of surprise crossed Nisha's eyes when the elf claimed the
       Orc his mate and couldn't help but give her own mate a grin,
       "good you view him that way, means you two have a real bond,
       good luck," Nisha mused before taking Abaddon's arm to be led
       away to where they could watch in leisure.
       The Orc snorted rather pleased his new mate didn't just view him
       as a mindless beast. "Try and go for a knock out, shows more
       skill to show restraint," she added as they left.
       It wasn't until the chains on his wrists were triggered that
       Gaur got to his feet, pulling his elf up along with him as he
       rubbed his sore wrists.
       "When I go into my... other form... try and stay out of my
       way... I don't want you getting hurt by mistakes..." He warned
       before rolling his shoulders and roared, shifting into his full
       alpha orch form growing another five feet in height and his
       torso so heavy with muscles he had to support himself with his
       fists. He then scooped up Ced and deposited the elf on his
       shoulder to head into the labyrinth.
       ----
       Cedrionn held his tongue, though he very much wanted to point
       out that there was no such thing as luck.
       "Oh I'm quite aware it does," he muttered in reply to the Naga's
       last words.
       He made no objections or sounds as Gaur moved him around and the
       underling told.them what would happen next.
       His gaze flicked up to his mate when Gaur told him to take care
       and not get in his way in his other form.
       "You won't hurt me, but I will take care," he agreed.
       Cedrionn grinned as he watched his mate change, the shifting
       frightening the rest of the captives and scattering them. "Da.mn
       are you impressive," he couldn't help but purr with delight
       He made himself comfortable on the other's shoulder, resting a
       bit as they entered the labyrinth.
       Being so high up gave him a better advantage point and he could
       see where some of the weapons and traps lay in the maze.
       *We can speak this way, our bond makes it possible for you to
       speak telepathically with me,* he sent to Gaur, hoping it
       wouldn't startle his mate too much.
       Then he directed Gaur through the maze until they got to the
       first weapon. *This one is magical, let me check it out first,*
       Cedrionn slid off of the other's shoulder to retrieve the
       glowing blade and tested the weight and balance if it.
       "Not bad, just a smidge off,"
       Their first competitors caught up and thought to try and take
       him out. Before they even got close, Cred was moving quickly and
       taking them out with the flash of his new blade.
       "Cuts well enough though. Let's get going Gaur," he said and
       climbed up his mate's side and resettled on the other's
       shoulder.
       -----
       The elf's trust in him gave Gaur a strange feeling inside but
       ignored it for now , he looked around in surprise when he heard
       Cedrionn speaking in his head but quickly calmed.
       It was easy to follow his bossy little mate's commands. When his
       new lover left his shoulder to get the weapon, the Orc was
       anxious, feeling far better with how the half elf handled
       himself.
       He felt even more secure when Ced was back on his shoulder. The
       Orc followed his nose, quickly sniffing out the other pairs and
       ripping them to pieces until they were only a few left, too
       smart to get caught by the rather simple minded orc.
       _----
       They were down to the last three people, one having lost his
       partner to Gaur's immense strength. Cedrionn grinned, flashing a
       bright toothy smile at them. "You've come so far, only to lose
       to me and my mate,"
       The taller one, looking part dryad scoffed. "You're way ahead of
       yourself, or are you just stupid and co.cky?"
       Cedrionn chuckled and shook his head. "Oh no, there's just
       something I know that you don't," he couldn't help but tease as
       the others started moving in to take advantage of him being
       distracted.
       That was when Cedrionn dipped into the speed of a cheetah and
       attacked. *I'm going to toss one your way* he sent a moment
       before grabbing and flinging one into Guar's waiting hands.
       A few other beast powers kept him going and taking out the next,
       with a little help from an un-triggered booby trap.
       "Well that had to hurt," he commented and made a sign over the
       fae halfling's body. It had been cut into two by a string barely
       visible metal strand.
       The last seemed far to wary to outright attack or draw closer to
       either of them.
       "They should just let us go on to the next round, with three
       there's a better chance if subduing the creature," he spoke up,
       thinking persuasion might be the key in dealing with the strange
       looking man. He smelled much different than any race he'd ever
       encountered before.
       -----
       Mordrin had expected his half human partner to die off much
       sooner, so he felt a bit of sympathy when he was taken out by
       the smarts of the half elf and a well placed booby trap they'd
       all missed.
       Mordrin eyes narrowed at the man speaking so candidly about the
       three of them continuing on.
       "If those running this death game give assent, I have no problem
       with that," he replied in a rather light strangely melodical
       tone.
       He felt the urge to unleash the flames to push the other two
       away but held back. It was likely he was being played with, or
       the halfling was being sincere.
       "Kind of depends on what we are going up against. If it's
       hellspawn it's not going to be easy to subdue them,"
       -----
       When his mate told him mentally he was sending a being to him,
       Gaur easily caught the poor man and crushed him in his hand
       before dropping it. The rage fueling this form had subsided and
       Gaur was struggling to stay focused on anything. He made a
       strange noise at the suggestion of the three moving on together
       and have a huff, "crush," he growled out maliciously.
       ----
       *no need to crush this one Guar,* Cedrionn replied mentally and
       then noticed the other eying him closely.
       "Guar no crushing, this one's not going to attack us," he spoke
       out loud.
       Mordrin relaxed a bit, though he still had the feeling that
       there was more to the half elf's abilities.
       "We just going to wait around until they let us know their
       decision then?"   The man asked, itching to get the whole test
       over with.
       "Guess so," Cedrionn grinned and moved to lean against Guar and
       started humming. "They can't force us to fight one another if we
       all sit it out,"
       Mordrin blinked and then shook his head. "You really think that
       will work?"
       "Depends on them, if they really want to see a good show or
       not," Cedrionn said with a grin.
       ----fin----
       Watching the Orc and his new mate killing off everyone with ease
       had grown quite boring until the half elf seemingly decided to
       stop when there was just one man standing.
       "Hmmm seems they have lost their fight? Amon, go and figure out
       why they aren't fighting," she suggested with a flirtatious look
       as she watched Gaur just snuggle the elf now.
       -----
       Amon had been watching with growing amazement and a great deal
       of wariness as the halfling and the orc easily took out
       everyone. It was surprising to him as well when they suddenly
       stopped and just stood around letting the third man live.
       "Maybe they are flirting," he suggested as he rose and headed
       down to the open courtyard at the end of the labyrinth.
       "Why have you stopped fighting? One still stands," he spoke, his
       tone cold.
       "Just because you want us to fight, doesn't mean we have to.
       Three working together have a better chance of "subduing"
       whatever creature you have for us to face. If you want to see
       that, let us work together," Cedrionn replied with a sharp
       calculating look at the underling.
       Mordrin gave a nod. "What he said. I don't really stand a chance
       against them, and you have yet to see my abilities. You do want
       to see those don't you?" He asked with a smirk.
       Amon blinked, a bit surprised by this turn of events. To think
       the one had been holding back the entire time rather surprised
       and intrigued him.
       "I'll be right back," Amon said before heading back to Abaddon
       and Nisha telling them what the men had said.
       "I can't really get a read on either of them, and usually  I
       can. I get the feeling whatever they are hiding could be pretty
       big," he warned.
       ---;
       When Amon returned with why the captives wernt fighting, she
       gave a surprised look before scratching her chin in thought,
       mulling over the idea.
       "Let them through, if the elf in his mate wish to bring him
       along... I don't really see a reason to not. They seem to be
       stratigizing...." Nisha mused.
       With that, the gate to the next stage opened up. "Proceed to
       your final challenge," her voice said, echoing through the
       ruins.
       -----
       Mordrin was quite relieved that the gamble the half elf had made
       actually worked. When the gate opened he followed the other two
       in, his eyes widening at just how vast the ruins were.
       "Da.mn ..this could take weeks or months to find this beast of
       theirs!"
       Cedrionn let out an amused laugh. "for anyone other than me it
       would."
       Cedrionn quickly climbed back onto Guar's shoulder and opened up
       his mind to read the place, prodding for the mind of the beast.
       After a few moments his eyes flashed a bright blue when he
       picked up not one, but two beasts.
       "Good thing we have three going on. There are two beasties to
       deal with. A mated pair at that. Guar you'll want to target the
       male, he's quite strong. And the other is very fast, the closer
       we get I can figure out their weaknesses. It would help to know
       what your gift is human,"
       Mordrin was amazed by the half elf being able to find out so
       much so quickly. "Where are they? We need to think of strategies
       in how to subdue them,"
       "They're about a league from here, in the shadowy recesses of
       the old temple," Cedrionn replied and pointed to the old
       building, half of the wall with away by sand storms.
       Mordrin started walking towards it, seeming to ignore Ced's
       question. This had the half elf sighing and then urging Guar to
       follow.
       ----
       Gaur grunted in answer of Cedrionn when he was told where he
       would be needed in the fight. "Crush," grumbled the Orc as he
       began to rush in the direction of the beasts, ready for a *real*
       fight.
       The moment they got close, Gaur engaged with the male of the two
       and they began to have a drag out fight, there wasn't much that
       could take on an alpha Orc like this but this creature was
       certainly close.
       ----
       With Guar keeping the strong one occupied, Cedrionn summoned the
       speed of the cheetah to try and wear the faster one out, and
       bring it racing around Mordrin so the tuner could strike it with
       his lightning. It took a dozen shocks before the beast was
       overwhelmed by the lightning. "Just stay close and keep it out
       if it stirs," Cedrionn told the muscular terranian as he vent
       over the creature and pressed his fingers to the strange beast's
       temple.
       "Oh, and try to help Gaur as well, if you can manage," he added
       as he slowly working on gaming access to the creatures mind.
       "Right," Mordrin muttered trying to figure out how to knock the
       other beast out without harming the orc.
       He ended up waiting until the orc had gotten the beast onto the
       ground and moved in to unleash lightning bolts into the
       creature. It took a few more than the other one, but finally the
       beast shuddered and went limp in the orc's arms.
       Cedrionn pulled away from the beast he'd gained control of to go
       work on the second one. This one proved far more time, taking
       nearly an hour until he pulled away.
       "There...job done. Can we get out now?" Cedrionn called out.
       "Could definitely use a bath and food now,"
       ----
       "Hmmm they defeated the beast, what do you think my darling? Do
       they pass?" She questioned with a purr to Abaddon. "I think the
       elf and his new mate are rather presious. Give them some space
       all to themselves. The elf seems quite useful," she mused.
       ----
       Abaddon watched as the men fought it was clear the orc showed
       real strength as Cedrionn showed how his mind worked.. it was
       clear the two worked fairly well.. and incorporating Mordin was
       even more impressive.
       What granted pause was the man’s tuning abilities his eyes
       lighting up. He often didn’t see pure bloods of his kind often..
       and beside the one he was hunting.. the demon incarnate of his
       dreams.. was an acceptation even if he had failed. “Yes indeed..
       give them a room. You - terranian.. I want to talk now.. and
       give you a gift.” He announced as he went to stride from his
       perch.
       ----
       Upon hearing the "monarch" and his naga woman's words of
       approval, Cedrionn grinned and took Gaur's hand and led his mate
       towards the gate that slowly opened to release them from the
       arena.
       Amon eyed them warily and led the pair off to a spot that would
       give them privacy. It wasn't fancy or anything but had
       everything they might need aside from a kitchen.
       "Assignments will be handed out tomorrow morning, make
       yourselves comfortable."
       Cedrionn waited for the shadow shifter to disappear before he
       pushed His mate onto the cot provided for them and slide onto
       his lap.
       "I want you inside me again," he purred and pulled the orc's
       face down to kiss Gaur deeply.
       -----
       Mordrin watched the other two get led off and slowly followed
       after the monarch, his eyebrow rising at the man's mention of
       his race.
       "What was it you wanted to talk about? A gift? Really?" He
       asked, sounding quite surprised.
       To have lost his makeshift group and then forced to fight on
       this man's whim had been frustrating. For the guy to suddenly
       want to talk and offer him a gift was a startling contrast.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       When the gate opened and they were being led to a room, not even
       shackled, Gaur shifted back into his smaller, more intelligent
       form as he followed after his new mate. He found himself looking
       around at the space provided for them. He didn't pay any
       attention to Amon and didn't even realize that he and his mate
       were alone until he was shoved onto the cot getting a grunt out
       of him.
       He eyed the elf for a moment when the man got into his lap
       before a blush colored his skin at his lover's words, gladly
       kissing his new lover back. His hands moving to disrobe Ced as
       he felt himself getting nice and hard. "Whatever you wish my
       mate," he purred as he kissed at the man's neck while his hands
       explored.
       ----
       Abaddon smiled a bit.”well it’s not often I find another like
       myself.. tuning lightning no less.. happen to have plenty of
       stones I’ve been working on for a while - just some I don’t need
       anymore.” He told Mordrin.”feel free to pick a few.” He told the
       man.”so just where did you come from? “ he questioned..
       ----
       Cedrionn happily moaned into the kiss as Gaur's hands pulled his
       clothes off and wandered over his body.
       "Might need a nice long round after all that mental work," he
       murmured and quickly pulled and worked the orc's clothing off.
       "You can try other positions if you'd like."
       -----
       Mordrin was quite stunned to hear that Abaddon was a terranian
       as well and shared the ability to tune lightning.
       His hand slipped to the bag around his neck that held his stones
       instinctively.
       "Oh, I haven't met another since my mother died, and that was a
       very long time ago. " He admitted. "There are a few stones I do
       need to replace,"
       Mordrin took a moment to consider the last question.
       " I was born on an island with many volcanoes. When they
       exploded, most of the people died. Took me months to get to
       these shores via ocean. It's been at least four years since
       then. Been a bit tough getting used to the desert. I was only
       with that group out of necessity," he explained.
       -----
       "Other positions?" Gaur questioned as he nipped at his mate's
       neck as his own clothes came falling off at the elf's hands. The
       Orc tuned Cedrionn around and had and picked up the others rear
       to shove his very long tongue into his lover. Once he had his
       fill, he lowered Ced onto him, fully impaling the man before
       shoving his face into the pillow and began to rail him from
       behind. "So tight," he purred.
       ----
       Abaddon let the man look at the stones he had on a table he had
       built as he listened.”that’s quite the distance.. I lived for a
       while in the snow lands.. my mother was kidnapped and well freed
       around here.” He said.”technically I was born on the sea. But
       grew up here.” He said as he picked up a particular stone. The
       flecks inside glimmered as he smiled.”making these really do
       calm me- think this one is one of my best work- shame an ice
       tuner even among our own kind is rarer still..” he said with a
       sigh.
       -----
       "sounds cold," Mordrin muttered. It was surprising to hear the
       mad king had a similar story to his own.
       He eyed the stones before reaching for one that looked like
       molten lava. His own was starting to get cracks in it from
       overuse.
       "I did think I felt a few while I was in the ruins, but was kind
       of too busy to look for them. Maybe we can go in later with a
       few others to search." He suggested. "I don't really know much
       about terranians, perhaps we can talk some more again later?"
       He picked out a few other stones and then pulled out the ones he
       didn't need anymore to set out on the table.
       "Is there somewhere I could clean up?" He asked politely after a
       few moments.
       ----
       "Yeah, from behind, against the wall, I'll teach you," Cedrionn
       explained moaning out as his mate nipped at his neck.
       He was suddenly spun around and let out a deep groan at the
       tongue shoved into his ass. "Oh god yes... that feels soo good!
       More Gaur, more!"
       He was a moaning mess while the man feasted and stretched him
       out. The intense thrust that filled him had Ced groaning even
       louder, his hands clenching the bedding under him.
       "Soo fu.cking huge," he cried out loudly and moved his head so
       he could breath and cry out hotly as Guar claimed him again.
       He shifted his body just enough to take the rough thrusts
       without it overwhelming him too quickly. "Yes Guar, take me!
       Harder!" He insisted, moving his hips back to meet his mate's
       intense thrusts.
       ----
       Hearing Cedrionn's cries for more and harder had Gaur letting
       out a possessive growl as he did as his mate wished, having to
       hold himself back from shifting while he took the man.
       Soon, he picked his lover up by the hair to turn his head and
       kissed him deeply while his other hand held his mate's waist to
       thrust savagely into Ced.
       ----
       “Oh?.. May need to vet for terranians only.. last thing we need
       is a total wipe out of our kind.” Abaddon said as he moved. “I
       wouldn’t mind it, maybe if we had more of us we can find
       *her*..” he said in a tone that almost sounded with venom.
       “You’re welcome to the bath.. I can have a more .. fitting room
       for you to reside in. Just know the area is also populated by
       naga- please be respectful of their spaces.. and their prone to
       avoid clothing.. it’s just their ways.” He told the man.
       -----
       The half elf's cries of pleasure got louder and louder as he was
       claimed even more roughly than before.  It was by far the best
       sex of his life. He could only imagine how amazing it might be
       to have his mates full sized size taking him.
       One day he would have to entice his mate to use his true form.
       He let out a groan when he was lifted up by his hair and kissed
       deeply. It took a few more thrusts for him to cu.m hard and
       cover the bed in front of him.
       "Don't stop," he insisted when he got a breath in. His bond mark
       was tingling like mad as it was fed by his mate. "Just keep it
       up,"
       After using so much of his gift, the sex from his partner was
       feeding and rejuvenating him. Without it, he'd have passed out
       by now and been vulnerable.
       ----
       Mordrin considered the idea of finding others of their kind.
       "It's not easy finding our kind, we've always been taught to
       hide from others," he said after a moment. "I will help you to
       the best of my ability Abaddon."
       He had the feeling it was better to not ask about who the man
       was talking about. Whoever this her was, Abaddon certainly had a
       personal vendetta against her.
       "I'd appreciate it, and thank you for the warning. I'll take
       care to not offend them," he replied with a respectful nod.
       ----fin----
       Seeing Cedrionn cu.m all over the bed like that had Gaur's eyes
       going red with desire as he kept savoring his makes body, taking
       the man probably harder than he should have but couldn't stop
       when the man demanded like that.
       His grip even tightened before he turned the elf onto his back
       and nearly folded the man in half. "You look so good under me,"
       he growled out in a lustful tone. He plowed into the elf for a
       while longer, fu.cking him on nearly every surface before
       finally filling his mate much like he had before.
       "Mmmm might... need a minute..." He panted as he laid back and
       put Cedrionn in his lap.
       -----
       “Thank you, please feel free to speak with me if you need
       anything.” Said Abaddon as he took the nod. He turned back to
       his stones his eyes narrowing on a spot of a map. His mind going
       elsewhere.
       ----
       Cedrionn was in a complete blissed out state when Gaur unleashed
       more of his beast side and savagely fucked him. "Oh fu.ck yes,
       just like that," he groaned out happily.
       By the time his mate was worn out, he was ready for a bit of a
       rest himself. He let out a moan when he was pulled into the
       orc's lap.
       "Gotta get this cu.m out, I don't think you're ready just yet
       for half elf half orc babies," he told his mate before climbing
       off him and moving to push and work it all out in the nearby
       restroom.
       He came back walking with a bit of a limp and climbed back onto
       Guar's lap, leaning into his mate.
       "Might need a long bath after the next round," he murmured
       trailing his fingers over the bond mark on Gaur's arm.
       ----
       ----
       "I will do that, I'll see you around then," Mordrin replied
       before heading off. He didn't go far before he ran into Amon who
       then led him to a much nicer room and showed him where the
       bathhouse was.
       "Dinner will happen in a few hours. And try not to wander too
       far. The ruins have yet to be fully explored. There are likely
       other dangers in them,"
       Mordrin watched the man disappear not at all interested in
       exploring. Especially if the shadow shifter was warily of the
       place.
       ----
       A grunt left Gaur at the mention of babies. He was no place to
       keep offspring safe so he made no objection. A look of concern
       came to the Orc seeing Cedrionn return with a limp.
       "Mmmm did I hurt you?" He questioned with worry in his eyes,
       though his body readily reacting to his mate's touch.
       ----
       "just a bit sore, I'll be fine. Just my body's reaction to the
       re arrangement of my internal organs," he joked a bit crudely.
       "Want to help me go hunt in the morning? I'm sure they could use
       some fresh meat. Oh and I need to go find Airres, my bonded
       animal," he finished whispering in the orc's earlier. "She's
       probably freaking out by now. It's been three weeks since we
       were separated. Don't tell anyone else. If they caught
       her...it'd be bad for me."
       -----
       "If sore, maybe we should wait on that next round? I'm good with
       helping to hunt..." He added in agreement at the Orc moved to
       get up and scooped his mate into his arms to haul the elf into
       the bathroom and get a bath started.
       "If you have anything that smells like her, I can sniff her
       out..." He added before setting Cedrionn into the warms water.
       ----
       Cedrionn relaxed a bit more and nodded at his mate's suggestion
       of waiting a bit before having more sex. "our bond is pretty
       much sealed by now. Just hard not to resist the urge to have you
       inside me all the time." He admitted.
       He didn't object to bring hauled around though it did feel a bit
       strange. He was used to relying on himself a great deal more. If
       Gaur kept this up he'd become far too spoiled.
       "I can send her a telepathic message and she'll find me. Just
       have to do it far from this place," he replied and then let out
       a pleased groan at the warm water he was set into.
       "If you keep spoiling me like this, I'm likely to get clingy,"
       he warned with a flirty grin.
       -----
       A nod of understanding cane from Gaur as his mate explained how
       he would find his animal friend and couldn't help but smirk at
       the man complaining of being spoiled.
       "Then get used to being spoiled, I don't mind clingy," he
       murmered, kissing his mate before going back into the main room
       to find some food waiting for them. The Orc grinned as he made
       Ced a plate and brought it into the bathroom to feed the man.
       "Hungry?" He questioned before offering a spoon full.
       -----
       Cedrionn was starting to realize just how much he'd lucked out
       on getting Gaur as his mate. Hopefully he could keep the orc
       alive for a long time. He was aware most orcs didn't normally
       have long lifetimes. Even as a halfling he'd more than likely
       outlive his mate, which he hated to even think about.
       He made a soft sound at the kiss and watched Gaur walk out
       before he started scrubbing himself in the warm water.
       He glanced up at Gaur when he came back in with food and then
       offered him a spoonful.
       "You really going to feed me too?" He asked a bit surprised. "I
       am hungry,"
       -----
       "Of course I am, you are my mate," Gaur mused with a grin as he
       fed his lover until Cedrionn was full and then went back into
       the room and ate what remained of their ration for the evening,
       laying out on the cot when he was done.
       The Orc was more content than he had been in a long time. It
       seemed like his life was finally turning around. He had a mate
       to protect and that was all that mattered. He would much rather
       just leave with the man but feared these people would come after
       them if they didn't comply.

       Cedrionn shrugged, grinning a bit and let Gaur feed him until he
       had eaten enough. "I'll be right out," he told his mate before
       the other left.
       It took him a good ten minutes or more to clean his hair if the
       dirt and grease that had been keeping it stick up on his head.
       When it was as clean as he could get it he stepped out of the
       bath and dried off and headed back to their room, a towel
       wrapped around his waist.
       Seeing Gaur laid out on the cot, he moved to straddle his mate
       and kissed him deeply.
       "If you ever want to be on bottom, I'd love to claim you," he
       purred and gazed down at the handsome white haired orc.
       ----
       When Cedrionn came out of the bathroom in only the towel, Gaur
       smirked quite wide, admiring his mate. He was growing used to
       how his mate seemed insatiable so wasn't surprised by the man
       straddling his lap like this, already stirring parts of his body
       to life.
       What had Gaur surprised, was his mate's desire to take. It
       caused the Orc to blush quite deeply. "If you wish to claim
       me... I'll at least... try it once... I've... never be on the
       receiving end..." He said, the idea of having his mate use him
       the way he loved to use his mate was enticing.
       ----
       Cedrionn grinned and trailed his hands down his mate's chest
       slowly. It was quite refreshing that Gaur was open to him taking
       charge. He didn't often do it, but every now and then the
       thought of dominating his partners was quite a turn on.
       "If you don't like it, we won't have to do it again. I just
       sometimes get the urge or mood to be on the top," he explained
       and moved up to pull the others pants off and ran his hand over
       the growing arousal.
       -----
       The blush didnt leave Gaur's cheeks as he was stripped and his
       mate began to touch his needy member. A groan leaving him.
       "Claim me my mate... I want you..." Gaur purred as he pulled the
       man into a deep kiss.
       ----
       "I will my handsome mate, just let me get you nice and loose
       first. I want you to enjoy this as much as I do," he murmured
       back once the kiss ended.
       He moved back down, gently pushing the man's legs up to his
       chest and pressed his tongue inside and moaned happily as he
       worked his tongue into the other's tight hole.
       "Soo tight..you like it so far? Should I stop?" He murmured
       pulling back and licking up the other's arousal.
       -----
       The Orc bit his lips as his mate moved down his body and pushed
       his legs back leaving him more exposed the he had ever felt in
       his life before the elf's tongue invaded his body getting a
       groan out of him. He wasn't sure about this new feeling but it
       made him feel squirmy and needy, a hot moan escaping him when
       Cedrionn licked up his shaft. "I-I don't know, it... it is
       unlike anything I've ever experienced... d... don't stop..."
       Gaur told his lover, his body begging for more.
       ----
       Cedrionn grinned at Gaur's reply and begging him to not stop.
       "Oh I don't plan on stopping my mate," he purred back and wet
       some fingers before slowly introducing one after another as he
       stretched the orc out.
       Once he'd gotten four fingers in, he spat in his hand and wet
       his arousal and then slowly pushed himself inside.
       "Gods you feel so nice and tight," he moaned, giving his mate a
       few moments to adjust then started thrusting in and out.
       ----
       The purred words followed by the invasion of fingers had Gaur
       groaning as he tried to get used to the strange feeling. By the
       time Cedrionn was four fingers deep, he was a moaning mess. The
       sudden fill had Gaur gasping as his legs instinctively wrapped
       around his mate, his member twitching hard as the Orc began to
       stroke himself trying to aid in the adjusting process.
       "B-bigger than I was expecting," he panted out  as his body
       started accepting what was happening. The moment Ced began to
       thrust into him, striking that perfect spot, he melted into a
       mess of needy moans. "H-harder..." He begged as more moans
       escaped him.
       ----
       "I could go bigger, but that may be too much right now," Ced
       murmured, his hips moving slowly until his mate begged him in a
       rather needy tone.
       "Happily," he murmured, biting into Gaur's shoulder as his hips
       sped up and doubled his pace, roughly fucking the orc.
       Seeing his lover stroking himself turned him on even more.
       "Don't rush too much, I want you to c.um with me,"
       -----
       A grunt of pain left Gaur when he felt the bite to his shoulder
       before he felt Cedrionn began to *pound him* into the cot. The
       Orc couldn't help the loud moans and noises of pleasure that
       escaped him, trying his best to hold off on cumming as he was
       deflowered.
       "Oh gods yes Cedrionn! Yes!" He moaned out. "I-I'm ganna come!"
       He added soon after as his body was rushing to a peak, letting
       go of himself and just clinging to his mate as the man savagely
       claimed him.
       -----
       Cedrionn held back the more animalistic urges that threatened to
       come out hearing his mate's pleased moans and sounds. Every
       thrust inside the man had him spiraling into the lust and
       desires that had plagued him for so long.
       He continued claiming the orc, a hand moving up to gently
       squeeze his mate's throat not wanting to hurt him. "Mind if I
       just keep fu.cking you the rest of the night?" He groaned out.
       "Can't seem to get enough of you my Gaur,"
       -----
       Every thrust into his body had Gaur moaning his head off, the
       hand on his throats causing him to behave even more submissively
       to his mate. "Mmm yes Cedrionnn claim me all night long, this
       feels incredible..." He moaned out as he came all over himself
       and his mate.
       ----
       After spending much of the night having his way with his mate,
       Cedrionn finally pulled away very satisfied and gently cleaned
       and cared for Gaur before cuddling up with the orc. "I didn't
       wear you out too much did I?" He questioned, feeling a little
       concerned.
       ----
       It was quite late into the night when Cedrionn finally ran out
       of steam, by this point Gaur had c.um a good dozen times and was
       a massive mess. "Mmmm sleepy...." grumbled the worn out but
       satisfied Orc.
       ----
       Cedrionn chuckled and wrapped himself around Gaur even more.
       "Sleep then my mate, whoever gets up first wakes the other up.
       We got hunting to do," he murmured and kissed Gaur gently before
       falling asleep a few moments later.
       The sound of birds chirping woke him I'm the wee hours of the
       morning. He pulled away and got dressed before kissing Gaur
       deeply to wake him up.
       "You ready to get up and get out for a bit?" He asked.
       He stilled a moment later hearing footsteps and noticed a guy
       bringing them freshly cooked food for breakfast.
       "Wills will be taking ye out in a little while to hunt. Be
       ready," the guy told them handing over the food and retrieving
       the dishes from the night before.
       "Yeah...we will," Cedrionn replied feeling slightly annoyed
       they'd be supervised while hunting. Maybe they could sneak off
       from the guy or find a way to get him to leave.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Once they'd finished eating, an average looking guy showed up
       with hunting weapons and eyed the both of them. "If you're
       ready, we should head out. I'm Wills. What would you like me to
       call you?"
       "I'm Cedrionn, and this is Gaur. What are you wanting to hunt
       exactly?" Cedrionn asked eyeing the man a bit closely.
       "Rabbits, deer, whatever we can find really. If we find a
       monster, we may try to trap it and bring it back for the
       labyrinth if you two are up for that,"
       Cedrionn grinned and shot a look at Gaur. "Sounds like fun,
       let's head out then,"
       ---
       A grunt left Gaur when Cedrionn told him to sleep and gladly
       kissed the man back before he was fast asleep. The Orc didn't
       wake again until he felt Ced's lips on his own, trying to stir
       him awake, the smell of food moments later had his eyes open as
       a protective noise left him.
       He went over to the food and smelled it, deciding it was safe
       before giving his mate a portion before devouring the remaining
       food.
       It was shortly after they finished eating that the man mentioned
       before arrived. It took a lot for him to not just try and kill
       the man, letting his mate do the talking.
       "Yeah... fun..." Gaur grunted out.
       ---
       The ancient cemetery would put most people off, but for
       Mordechai, it was a paradise. He was lounging around on a thrown
       of gravestones as his zombie servants gathered food and water
       for him. One even using a palm leaf as a fan.
       ---fin---
       Wills eyed the orc cautiously and then led pair out of the maze
       like halls and out to the sand dunes. "We'll have to go a ways
       to get to the jungle forest. There's more game there to hunt,"
       he explained, heading to the watering hole nearby.
       There were already several of the naga people there, gathering
       water and chattering with one another. Wills waited patiently
       until they'd finished to fill up his water skin and then others
       for Cedrionn and Gaur.
       "If for some reason we get split up, let's plan meeting at the
       edge of the jungle and hour before dusk," wills suggested.
       Cedrionn blinked, looking a bit surprised at this.
       "So if we wanted to hunt on our own, you don't mind then?"
       "I'd like to at least see how you hunt, but I'm not here to
       babysit you by any means," Wills replied with a shrug. "We're
       all grown adults. Just don't do something to get on Amon's bad
       side. He can get...downright...vengeful if you cross him,"
       Cedrionn raised an eyebrow at the other's warning, but was
       pleased that they wouldn't have to stick with Wills for the
       entire duration of their hunt. Airres would more than likely be
       seeking him out the moment his familiar felt him.
       A good hour later they were entering the jungle forest and found
       the tracks of a herd of deer. Cedrionn pointed it out and led
       his mate and Wills towards their first hunt.
       Wills froze hearing scuffling and odd moans from close by and
       motioned the others to be on alert and moved around  on the far
       side. He went rather pale faced when he spied a familiar face
       twisted in a rather grotesque expression.
       "Dev?" He questioned, his eyes widening at the greenish tint to
       his old friend's skin. The smell hit him next, making him cover
       his nose and mouth. "Who did this to you?" He asked, dismay on
       his face at finding his dead friend shuffling around as an
       animated corpse.
       ----
       Hearing they didn't have to stick with the human brought Gaur
       slightly put of his grumpy mood. He was eager to get out on the
       hunt. When they found the deer tracks he was smelling around
       before his eyes went wide smelling the undead.
       "Necromancer..." growled the Orc as he shifted instantly to
       throw the zombified man far away. Instincts driving him to the
       smell, eventually finding the lounging Necromancer who was quite
       startled by the Orc crashing through the trees and towards him.
       Several zombies came lurching out to attack Gaur who was making
       short work of them but the volume of Zombies was beginning to
       overtake him.
       "No manners," scoffed Mordechai.
       ----
       Cedrionn's eyes widened at Gaur's growled response and followed
       quickly after his mate, Wills on his heels seconds later and
       they crashed through the underbrush until they spied the group
       of zombies and the dark haired man just lounging on the
       tombstones.
       Cedrionn pulled out his blade and moved to help Gaur against the
       Zombies. After he realized that there were too many, he moved to
       attack the necromancer.
       Only Wills was suddenly in front of him barring the way. "Stand
       down, get your mate to stop fighting," he demanded.
       Cedrionn let out an annoyed sound. "Just what would we do that?
       Necromancers are evil,"
       Wills glowered back at him. "look around you, you and your mate
       are going to be overpowered by them. They're only attacking you
       because you're threatening the necromancer," he argued.
       "Wouldn't it be better to try and talk to him first?"
       Cedrionn rolled his eyes and then moved to entice Gaur back from
       the zombies.
       Wills exhaled slowly and turned to look at the necromancer
       cautiously. "My apologies, can I talk with you privately for a
       moment?"
       Cedrionn grinned hearing wills was going to be distracted for
       awhile. "You talk then, Gaur and I will find something else to
       hunt,"
       He moved to climb up on Gaur's shoulder and settled there. "Come
       on, let's go find something more "appetizing " to hunt."
       -----
       When Cedrionn began to try and pull Gaur away from the fight,
       the man nearly got slugged in the face, the Orc holding himself
       back only *barely* as he didn't want to hurt his mate. A huff of
       indignation left him as he stopped fighting, shocked to see the
       Zombie's become placid once more when Wills drew the
       necromancer's attention wanting to talk.
       "I would be more than willing to chat, though it seems your
       brutish friends aren't to keen on the idea..." Mordechai mused
       as he watched the elf climb onto the Orc's shoulder before the
       pair took off.
       "Did you mean you wished for my servants to go as well? Because
       that isn't happening, come, take a seat, the wine should be here
       shortly." He mused as if entertaining a guest.
       ----
       Wills was relieved when the elf and the orc left and then raised
       an eyebrow at the necromancer's comment. "We're not exactly
       friends," he muttered.
       "I'm fine with them being here, though...they are a bit
       unsettling," Wills replied and moved to take a seat near the
       necromancer.
       He was pretty sure that Cedrionn had something he was hiding.
       But he'd just have to wait and try and figure out what that was.
       "So, what's your name?" He asked curiously. "My name is Wills.
       Do you keep your servants to protect you from attacks as well as
       for company?"
       --------
       Cedrionn knew that Gaur had barely been able to hold back
       actually hitting him before. But at least he had managed to.
       Cedrionn ran a hand gently through Gaur's short hair.
       Once they were far enough away, he opened his mind last night to
       Airres and let the wild kangaroo feel him again. The rush of
       excitement from the kangaroo had him chuckling a he picked up on
       the other's location.
       "Head to the east and follow the river. Airres will meet us
       there,"
       ----
       A laugh left Mordechai at what his new companion had to say and
       gave him an very wide grin. "Unsettling? Darling, it's a vibe,
       you get used to it. They don't exactly make for the best company
       but they make *excellent* servants and protectors." He mused
       almost playfully.
       "I'm called Mordechai, what is a cutie like you doing with
       brutes like that?" He questioned in almost a purr. It had been a
       very long time since he came across a living being that wanted
       to be near him in any compacity.
       ----
       A grunt of understanding left Gaur when his mate instructed him
       on which direction to head before taking off at full speed
       through the forest. For an Orc of his size, he could fly through
       it like there were no obstacles in his way. The pair soon
       arrived at where the waiting kangaroo was and Gaur came to a
       stop, knowing it was likely the creature would be weary of him.
       ----
       Wills couldn't help but shiver a bit at the other's laugh. He
       shifted slightly on the gravestone he was sitting on, feeling a
       bit uneasy at all the Zombies around. "Right...a vibe. I imagine
       it can get rather lonely not having anyone to talk to."
       Magic of any kind had always unsettled Wills. He'd heard a lot
       of stories about how most magicians were villains. But Abaddon
       and Amon had kind of proven that magicians weren't completely
       evil. So maybe those stories had just been exaggerated.
       He blinked a bit shocked at being called a cutie.
       "I was sent to keep them in line and vet them for the priest and
       his King. If they prove trustworthy, they'll be welcomed into
       the ranks." He explained, his face slightly flushing.
       "How exactly am I cute?" He asked leaning in a bit, eyeing
       Mordechai a bit closer. "I've only ever been told I'm average
       looking."
       ----
       Cedrionn had to quickly grab onto Gaur's neck do he wouldn't go
       flying off. He let out a rather amused laugh at feeling the wind
       rushing past as Gaur raced through the forest. "this is by far
       the best way to travel!" He exclaimed happily.
       When Gaur came to a stop, Cedrionn slid down and moved towards
       Airres with his arms stretched out, a huge smile lighting up his
       entire face.
       *"Airres! I missed you girl!"* He exclaimed through their bond.
       Airres shivered and then bounded over and launched herself into
       his arms, hugging him tightly.
       *Ceddy! I missed you! You were gone so very long*
       *"Sorry girl. Kind of got caught up in some stuff. I found my
       mate, want to meet him?"*
       Airres peeked over at Gaur, her eyes flashing blue, and her ears
       flicked back, her nostrils flaring a bit.
       *An orc guy? As long as he doesn't hurt you, that's fine with
       me.*
       Cedrionn chuckled and set Airres down and then introduced the
       two.
       "Gaur, this is Airres. My familiar. If you're gentle and move
       slowly, she probably wouldn't mind if you scratched behind her
       ears,"
       ----
       "Yes... the undead can do a lot of things but few are
       conversationalist." Mordechai agreed before listening to the
       man's reasoning as to *why* he was with the other two.
       Then the man said the most puzzling thing, causing Mordechai to
       tilt his head to one said as the man said he had only ever been
       called average looking.
       "With cheek bones and a jawline like that? Whoever told you that
       was intimidated by your looks. I dare say, you are, dare I say,
       a sight to be hold, all hot and rugged." The necromancer
       insisted before a zombie began to shuffle forward with two wine
       glassed and a bottle of wine.
       The master of the dead eagerly took it and poured two glasses
       before offering one to Wills, taking a sip of his own to prove
       it wasn't poisoned.
       ---
       The reunion was touching between the roo and his mate. What the
       Orc hadn't expected was his lover to introduce them. His eyes
       going wide on the assurance the creature wouldn't run if he was
       gentle.
       The Orc reluctantly lifted his massive hand and gave the
       kangaroo a gentle pat on the head, not trusting his coordination
       on this form to not hurt the beast.
       ----
       Wills couldn't help but get the feeling that it had been a long
       while since Mordechai had any living company. Which made him
       feel sympathy for the guy. Even when he'd been in the company of
       the other hunters, he'd felt like the odd man out. Probably
       because by then he was questioning why he followed their rules
       and lifestyle. That's probably why it had been so easy to walk
       away from them and follow Abaddon and Amon.
       The odd look Mordechai gave him had Wills shifting a bit. Then
       he was flushing rather darkly at the necromancer's comments
       about his looks.
       "Uh..well ..thank you for that. I suppose my entire family just
       didn't want me to get a big head," he muttered.
       Wills blinked a bit surprised by the appearance of a zombie
       approaching with glasses and a bottle of wine. He accepted the
       offered cup, holding it out in front of him staring at it for a
       moment.
       When he noticed Mordechai taking a sip, he swirled the glass a
       bit then lifted it to smell the wine before taking a sip
       himself. "That's pretty good stuff. So are you...coming onto
       me?" He asked a bit curiously.
       -----
       Cedrionn was quite happy when Gaur ever so gently patted Airres'
       head with his massive hand. The kangaroo let out a pleased sound
       and hopped forward to hug the orc's leg before letting go and
       looking up at him.
       *Is ceddy and mate going to hunt? Can I come too?*
       *"Of course you can Airres!   Just try to stay clear of Gaur
       when he gets going. It's hard for him to control himself,"*
       "Gaur, Airres is going to come hunt with us, she'll follow
       behind us."
       Once he said this, he moved to climb up onto his mate's
       shoulder, pausing to kiss the orc on the mouth before settling
       on his perch.
       ----
       A chuckle left Mordechai when the handsome man questioned his
       motives. "Perhaps. Do you *want* me to be coming on to you?" The
       necromancer questioned in a purr before bringing the glass to
       his lips and taking a long sip that drained nearly the whole
       glass.
       ---
       It was surprising to have such a small creature willing to hug
       him like that. His attention returning to his mate when the man
       explained the roo would be joining them on their hunt and gave a
       nod of understanding.
       He went to help Cerionn onto his shoulder, blushing when his
       mate paused to hive him a kiss. It got a smile out of Gaur. Once
       his mate was settled, the Orc smelled the air before taking off
       toward the smell of boar.
       ---
       Wills sipped slowly on the wine, his eyes taking in Mordechai's
       body and figure a bit slower. "I wouldn't mind attention from
       you," he admitted after a moment. "I can't recall the last time
       anyone's been interested in more than just talking,"
       Wills slowly finished off his wine and looked around at the
       gathered zombies, taking in their faces slowly. He was grateful
       that there weren't any more familiar faces in the group.
       "So, do you raise any dead bodies or to you pick and choose?" He
       couldn't help but ask. "Sorry if that's an odd question. The
       body we first saw, was someone I used to know. Not that was
       exactly a good person.  It was just a bit shocking,"
       Once he'd finished the wine, he set the glass down and eyed
       Mordechai a bit more. "So what are you looking for in a
       potential lover?"
       -----
       Cedrionn was quite happy that his familiar Airres and his mate
       seemed to like one another from the start. Now if he could keep
       his familiar a secret from Abaddon and Amon. That would be
       tricky for sure. If they caught her, they could control him in
       every way. Which would be very bad thing for him and Gaur.
       His thoughts soon fell away when the boat that Gaur had smelled
       came into sight. "ooh excellent beast! Let's get in a bit
       closer," he suggested.
       A few feet from the boat, Cedrionn was able to reach into the
       boar's mind and make it slow down. Being distracted with this
       task, it'd be up to Gaur and Airres to kill the creature.
       ----
       "It's a crime you can't recall such things. Well, at least you
       aren't bothered by my flirting," Mordechai mused. He was
       unsurprised by Wills question regarding his zombies.
       "Depends on my mood. If I am short of staff, any Ole corpse will
       do, when I'm fully stocked I can be more choosy." He answered
       smoothly.
       The next thing his guest asked took Mordechai off guard as he
       raised an eyebrow at the man. "Hm, someone handsome, can
       tolerate my... hobbies and quirks... morally ambiguous is a
       plus. I don't always do the nicest things. Some people look down
       on grave robbing and all. Long term lover would have to be a
       beast in bed," he teased with a smirk.
       ---
       When Cerionn had the boar distracted, Gaur went in with a brutal
       attack, killing the beast quickly. He then checked on his mate.
       "Okay?" He questioned.
       ----
       Wills didn't correct the man's assumption that anyone had
       actually come on to him in the past. He didn't really want to
       get into explaining how bad his life has been up until he'd met
       Amon. To say the assassin had saved him from dying miserable
       would be putting it mildly.
       "You can flirt with me as much as you'd like," Wills replied,
       almost surprising himself with how bold he sounded. Where the
       hell had that come from? Was he finally actively thinking of
       having a real lover?
       He nodded at the other's explanation of how he chose his zombie
       horde. It was a rather rational way of thinking in an odd way.
       He couldn't help the slight grin that spread at having caught
       Mordechai off guard with his question.
       "Oh? What other hobbies and quirks to you have?" He asked
       curiously.
       "I see the world in shades of gray if that helps. There are too
       many people who deal in absolutes and hold a person's actions as
       grievous personal attacks to their own set of morals. A woman
       that fights off an attacked and kills them accidentally is a
       murderer in their eyes. Or a child stealing food should be
       whipped for it. They don't give a damn that the kid might be
       starving or trying to feed their starving siblings. The world is
       a fucked up place. If you want to use dead bodies and grave
       money to survive, I'm not going to give a damn. Their families
       could have easily burnt the body if they didn't want them used
       that way."
       Wills rubbed his jaw, realizing how he'd gone into a mini rant.
       "So I've checked a few of those boxes of yours off. I'm not so
       sure about the last one, I haven't actually been anyone's lover
       before.  The few encounters I've had, were more...me being
       used," he admitted.
       -----
       The moment Gaur moved in for the killing blow, Cedrionn quickly
       dropped the mental link to the creature.
       "I'm good," he reassured Gaur with a thumbs up. "You feel like
       carrying this monster back? Or shall we try for something else?"
       -----
       "Noted," Mordechai mused when he was told to flirt as much as he
       liked. "Hmmm I suppose dressing the zombies up in fun outfits
       would count, though I'm not sure if that is a quirk or a
       hobby.... probably both. I can be... particular... and moody at
       times. I'm, eclectic..." He explained before he listened to the
       man go on a rant and grinned wide. *especially* at the man
       claiming he checked off some of the necromancer's boxes.
       "Hmmm I suppose there are ways of finding such things out..." be
       mused as he looked over the man before finishing his glass of
       wine and gave his potential lover over. "Suppose I could give
       you a proper f.uck, show you what I'm wanting, then you can
       fu.ck me nice and hard? A test run if you will," he suggested
       seductively.
       ---
       "Hm, carry back, want fu.ck and nap," murmured the Orc. It was
       pretty typical of his kind to want to sleep after exerting so
       much energy.
       -----
       Wills smiled slightly hearing that Mordechai liked dressing the
       zombies up. "I'd say it could be both too. It shows you care how
       they look as well as enjoying the time it takes to dress them
       differently."
       The more he thought over what the necromancer said about
       himself,  the more interest showed in his eyes at getting to
       know the man more. He was quite an interesting and intriguing
       person.
       Wills was quite relieved that the necromancer wasn't put off by
       his mini rant, and actually grinned at him.
       Wills felt his body flush at the other's avid perusal over his
       body as he spoke next.
       He glanced around the graveyard, gulping down the remaining
       wine. "You wanting to do that here? Can't say I've ever thought
       of getting railed in a graveyard of all places.
       Just...uh...it has been a very long time since I've been touched
       by anyone. If you don't mind giving me some preparation first it
       would help a great deal,"
       Wills felt a bit nervous even voicing his needs, most usually
       just did what they wanted not caring to show him any thought at
       all in the past.
       Wills slowly undid his shirt, and pulled it off, draping it over
       one of the gravestones. Then he reached to work the belt on his
       pants open, his gaze  rather intently focused on the
       necromancer's brilliant blue eyes.
       --+--
       Cedrionn gave Gaur a nod of understanding and moved to embrace
       Airres. The kangaroo followed them for awhile before parting
       ways with them at a few feet from the graveyard
       Cedrionn felt sad about having to leave her behind bit knew it
       was for the best. At least until he was sure Amon and Abaddon
       trusted him enough to not try and control him.
       He paused when they got close enough to see Wills starting to
       strip off his clothes. He cleared his throat a bit loudly to get
       the man's attention
       "We caught a boar, so we're heading back now. Just figured I
       should let you know so you didn't think we ran off or anything,"
       Wills froze, his gaze flickering to the elf halfling and orc and
       gave a nod. "Good. I'll be back a bit later."
       Cedrionn grinned and hurried off with Gaur, leaving the dead
       boat with some of the naga to butcher.
       "So my mate, you feeling like fu.cking or being fu.cked,?" He
       purred as he started stripping as they headed back to their old
       quarters.
       "You've been moved," Amon popped up to tell them and led the two
       to a much more private and secluded spot away from everyone
       else. It looked far nicer and spacious as well, much to
       Cedrionn's pleasure. "Oh we got upgraded so quickly? Sweet!"
       Cedrionn pulled Gaur over to the much sturdier bed and pushed
       him down as he finished stripping and then climbed onto the
       orc's lap. "Fu.ck me first, then I'll give it to you when I've
       recovered," he purred before pulling Gaur into a heated kiss.
       ----
       It was amusing, seeing Wills process and then questioning doing
       things in a graveyard before admitting he hadn't been touched in
       a long time and even requesting preparation. It seemed the man's
       shyness wasn't holding him back as Wills stood and began to
       strip himself.
       It was right then, as Wills was striping that a voice came from
       the tree line, warning the man that they were leaving. It seemed
       the brutes did have some manners.
       "Like I said, going to show you how I like it, but I will be
       gentle to get you nice and ready..." Mordechai mused, taking in
       the increasing state of undress Wills was in.
       The necromancer looped his fingers into Wills pants to draw him
       in, taking the man's finely chiseled jaw into his hand to kiss
       him deeply, helping in getting the guy fully undressed.
       "Even more gorgeous than I suspected..." He mused before
       pulling the now naked man into his lap to let his hands begin to
       explore the man gently and carefully, trying to find every
       sensitive spot to make the man moan before he finally started to
       stroke the growing member.
       "Perfection," he purred before he put a fingers into Wills'
       mouth and used the now wet fingers into the man's entrance.
       Pushing the fingers deep inside as he slowly stretched the man.
       It wasn't until he had Wills unraveling from the attention that
       the laid the man down on the tomb under him, getting to see him
       entirely laid out for him.
       The necromancer then stripped away his own clothes before
       getting on his knees and using his tongue to make certain his
       soon to be lover would enjoy getting properly fu.cked.
       When Mordechai had Wills begging was when the man finally used
       his spit to wet himself and finally push inside, being quite
       slow and waited for the man to adjust before he finally began to
       thrust, though they were quite measured as he tried to go at a
       pace the man would enjoy.
       ---
       A scandalized look came to Gaur when they found Wills stripping
       for the necromancer, more than happy to leave the man behind.
       The pair soon got back to their lodging just for Amon to direct
       them to a new more luxurious room away from the others.
       Having his mate push him onto the sturdy bed had him blushing.
       He wrapped his arms around his mate to kiss the half elf deeply
       as his hands slowly stripped away the layers of clothes before
       he had the man and himself naked.
       "Do you want to ride me? I worried might hurt..." He questioned,
       having yet to relax enough to shift out of his true form.
       ---
       Wills ignored the looks that the orc shot at him, not really
       caring what the other thought of him. He was quite relieved when
       the newcomers left quickly and his attention was trained
       completely back on Mordechai.
       His eyes darkened slightly at the necromancer's reminding him
       what he was planning on doing to him, though the other agreed to
       get him ready.
       "Good," was all he got out before he was drawn in and kissed
       deeply, easing a pleased but muffled groan from him.
       He could feel Mordechai's slender fingers getting the his pants
       off and flushed at the compliment and then even deeper when he
       was drawn onto the necromancer's lap.
       The teasing touches nearly drove him mad, thrills shooting
       through him before he finally let out a pleased moan. "More,
       please more," he demanded, another deep moan escaping him when
       Mordechai's hand stroked over his arousal.
       Wills sucked the others long fingers, getting them as wet as he
       could, thinking of using his mouth on other parts of the
       necromancer's body.
       Then he was a groaning mess as those fingers slide into him and
       started to stretch him.
       Wills couldn't help but admire the necromancer's lean fit body
       as he stripped off every article of clothing. "Fuck you are hot
       as hell,"
       Wills wasn't expecting that  Mordechai would do more to pleasure
       him. Having his legs moved up and the man driving his tongue
       deep inside him brought a very deep pleased moan from him. Then
       he was shaking and gripping the other's hair rather hard, trying
       to hold back on cu.ming already. "Please...enough teasing, fu.ck
       me!" He begged.
       And finally Mordechai was moving and doing just that. The long
       rigid co.ck inside him had him crying out in pleasure and
       wrapping tightly around Mordechai's body until he felt his body
       adjusted and relaxed a bit. "Fu.ck you are so big," he groaned
       as Mordechai slowly began fu.cking him. "You're really good at
       this," he added, sliding a hand into Mordechai's long hair and
       pulled him down into a deep kiss.
       -----
       Cedrionn didn't spare any thought to more than letting Gaur have
       his way with him until his mate spoke about riding him and
       voicing his worry of hurting him.
       "Oh...hold on," Cedrionn said and then moved down to get his
       mate nice and wet, sucking and licking up the sides of the orc's
       massive monster co.ck.
       It rather excited him to think of taking every inch of it. Sure
       he'd have to start slowly if he didn't want to hurt himself.
       "Oh..and watch this," he purred and stepped back.
       After a bit of concentration and focus, his magic worked
       shifting his body into a smaller sized orc's. He grinned,
       showing off the side fangs as he made a slow turn around so Gaur
       could get a  good look at him.
       "It'll only last a few hours, but you can go as hard as you
       want."
       This was a skill he didn't show just anyone. He trusted Gaur
       wouldn't tell anyone else.
       Cedrionn moved to climb up into his mate's lap, now a bit
       heavier and taller and ground against Gaur and sucked on his
       mates fingers before moving the others hand down to slide them
       inside him.
       He rode the thick fingers until he felt stretched enough and
       demanded needily. "Take me Gaur, I need you inside me now!"
       ----
       The praise and fingers in the necromancer's hair, pulling him
       down into a deep kiss had Mordechai moaning hotly as he felt the
       man's hips invitingly grinding into his own. "Be careful what
       you ask for... I'll explain as I go... because what I do to
       you... I want you to do... harsher... to me.... I'm not going to
       hurt you... but... I want you to... push the limits when you
       take me.... I'm a bit of a masochist...." He explained as his
       hands moved to wrap around the man's neck and began to choke him
       until he was close to passing out and let go, his hips drilling
       into the man the entire time. When Mordechai let go he kissed at
       his movers neck as he continued to claim him.
       "I want you to do that to me, until I pass out..." He purred
       darkly waiting for the man's reaction as he claimed him.
       ---
       A deep moan escaped Gaur as his mate worked on getting him nice
       and wet before showing him something amazing. The elf, was no
       longer an elf. His mate looked like *him* in a very Cedrionn
       way. It was incredible.
       "Are you sure?" He questioned to his lover who was now in his
       lap. He fingers being sucked on and then pushed inside of his
       mate was his way of saying he was sure.
       It wasn't long before Cedrionn was demanding to be taken. At
       that point, instinct took over and he moved his mate onto his
       back before he *savagely* began to claim his mate,
       -----
       Wills panted rather heavily as Mordechai explained rather
       vaguely what he wanted before the necromancer's hands moved to
       his neck and began squeezing and cutting off his air. Wills
       reached up with his hands to grasp the other's forearms as his
       vision blurred and he started seeing dark spots in the corner of
       his gaze.
       His grip loosened as he drew close to passing out. Modechai
       released his throat a second later and he gasped in much needed
       air, his body trembling a bit from the continued onslaught of
       Mordechai's intense thrusts.
       "Fu.ck..Mordechai," he gasped out, his body shaking a bit from
       the experience. "If...that's what you want...I can do that," he
       moaned out, still clinging to his lover, as his body was claimed
       roughly .
       "Just...might need you to fu.ck me every now and then. It feels
       so good," he groaned, his eyes closing as he came undone.
       -------
       "Very fu.cking sure," Cedrionn purred after shoving his lover's
       fingers inside him.
       He let out a loud pleased cry as Gaur rolled him into his back
       and began to claim him even more savagely than ever before.
       It was glorious and made cedrionn's rune tattoos go nearly white
       as they absorbed every bit of the energy that Gaur was using to
       claim him.
       "Fu.ck yes! Just like that Gaur! No holding back!"
       --++--
       "Oh, I don't mind doing this to you as often as you like, you
       feel quite incredible under me like this..." the necromancer
       mused as he claimed his new lover. He loved the way the man cane
       undone under him and moved a hand to pinch the man's nipples
       rather harshly.
       "You should c.um for me, you look so hot like this," he purred.
       He moved Wills into several different positions before ending up
       with Wills riding him. "Mmmm dance on top of me, give me a good
       proper ride and I'll fill you up, then you can fu.ck me," he
       purred, entirely drunk on sex now.
       ---
       At Cedrionn's sweet demands, Gaur couldn't hold back any longer.
       He truly claimed the elf to the point of breaking the bed before
       he finally filled the man, panting hard as he finally shifted
       back to his more human like form.
       "Are... you okay?" He questioned, Cedrionn bigger than him for
       once.
       -----
       Wills had never felt such pleasure before. Pain yes, but never
       anything that had him craving another's touch so much. His back
       arched at the fingers pinching his nipples and he let out a cry
       at the intense sensations built up even more.
       "Haven't I c.um already?" Wills groaned, feeling a bit light
       headed from the intensity of how Mordechai was moving inside
       him.
       The changing positions had him cu.ming several times, and his
       pleased groans and cries growing louder. Then he was on top, his
       hands moving to slide over Mordechai's abs and chest as he
       slowed down just a bit. The rise and fall on the massive member
       had more groans coming from him as he felt himself getting
       closer to yet another release.
       Wills' eyes glinted at the other's demand and he reached to
       twist Mordechai's nipples before sliding his hands up to grip
       the other's hair. His pace got faster as he lowered himself to
       feast on the necromancer's mouth hungrily.
       He wasn't about to let Mordechai get away after such an amazing
       experience. It might take awhile, but he was just going to have
       to win the necromancer over.
       -----
       When the incredible, intense, and very savage ravaging of his
       body ended, cedrionn's voice was nearly gone from all the cries
       that had come from him. His tattoos were glowing so brightly, he
       looked like a fallen star.
       Again his body was filled to the point even his orc form looked
       pregnant. "Help me get this out," he groaned softly and winced
       as he tried to move up off the now broken bed. "I'm all right,
       just gonna need some rest," he assured Gaur in a raspy barely
       there voice.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       It seemed that Wills was a fast learner as the man twisted his
       nipple, pulled his hair and kissed Mordechai like this. It had
       him cu.mming in moment, filling his new lover with a satisfied
       shiver.
       "Hmmm can't wait to see how you fu.ck me," he purred, pulling
       the man back down into a hungry kiss as he moved Wills so the
       man was no longer impaled as he held the man close while they
       kissed, letting their bodies recover for a moment.
       ---
       The Orc lifted his mate out of the bed and into the bathroom to
       help him not look so pregnant. "Mm you rest, Gaur will clean up
       and get new bed." He assured, leaving his mate to soak before
       cleaning up the mess and dressing himself before he headed off
       to find someone to either fix or replace the bed.
       Once that was handled, Gaur collected his elf and laid the man
       out on the bed once dried. "Rest," he told his lover as he
       pulled a blanket over him.
       -----
       Wills came hard after Mordechai filled him and partially
       collapsed on top of the man, his arms underneath him as he
       panted from the incredible experience.
       He moaned into the kiss, of considering the others words and
       thinking of what position might work best for what the
       necromancer wanted.
       He let out a muffled groan as his body adjusted and throbbed a
       bit once the other's cock slide out.
       "You...into restraints at all?" He asked, as he drew in a breath
       when their lips pulled a part for moment. "Could tie your
       wrists, or even shackle them when I take you,"
       ----
       Cedrionn made a few pained noises as he was helped into the
       bathroom. Once his body was free of his mate's cu.m and settled
       in the hot water to soak he leaned back on the tub with a long
       sigh.
       ''no  need to worry, I don't plan on moving anytime soon,"
       During his soak in the tub, the orc body reverted back to his
       normal one. He was quite pleased that Gaur was in a caring mood
       and relaxed in his mate's arms. He gave a small nod at Gaur and
       fell quickly asleep, not waking until many hours later. He
       slowly moved to snuggle closer to Gaur.
       "Getting a little hungry, probably should get up soon and see
       what's going on," he murmured softly.
       -----
       A wide smirk crossed Mordechai's lips when Wills pulled back
       from the kiss and asked about bondage. "I could let you tie me
       up... sounds sexy..." He purred and nipped at Wills's neck.
       His hands roamed over his new lover's body. "If you like I might
       even let you spank me..." He purred, nipping at the man's lower
       lip before hungrily kissing the man again.
       ---
       The Orc took a while to settle down and finally go to sleep,
       waking up and looking around as if he hadn't meant to fall
       asleep. He nuzzle his mate. "I can get you some food... Gaur
       sleeeepy....." be murmured.
       -----
       Wills let out a low groan at the nip to his neck, a bit of a
       grin forming at Mordechai's agreeing to being tied up. He'd had
       these thoughts of bondage before, but had never believed he'd
       meet anyone willing to let him try such things out. It was quite
       pleasing to him that Mordechai was so open to exploring
       different aspects.
       "Spank you huh?" He mused, soft moans coming out from the hands
       moving over him. "Didn't realize you had such a fetish."
       He moved into the kiss, his hand digging into the other's long
       hair and moved to pin Mordechai underneath him. He ground
       himself against the necromancer's slender body as their lips
       tangled and they made out hotly.
       "After this, perhaps I can persuade you to come back with me?
       See where I live, meet the men I serve? See if you'd like to
       join us? Knowing Abaddon, he'd not only revere your skills, he'd
       be honored to meet you."
       ------
       ---
       Cedrionn smiled softly, running his hands slowly over Gaur,
       finding his mate rather adorable in his half asleep state. "go
       ahead a and sleep my mate. I can wait a little longer to get
       some food," he reassured Gaur and cuddled closer.
       He had thought he might just slip off but the arms around him
       and the rise and fall of his lover's chest had him falling back
       asleep for several more hours.
       It was the sound of an insistent knock to their door that
       finally roused him awake again.
       "Ah...did you want something?" He called out.
       "I've brought you some food and a few more things you might
       need. May I come in with them?" A rather odd voice spoke in
       answer.
       "You may enter, just don't come in too far," Cedrionn replied.
       The door opened and Cedrionn blinked seeing a scaled face enter
       and set a bundle of clothes down and then went back out to bring
       in a heavy covered platter that was set on the small table.
       "Isss there anything elssse that you may need?" The snake like
       feature man spoke, eyeing Cedrionn and Gaur a bit curiously.
       "What's your name? And why did they have you serving us?"
       Cedrionn questioned.
       "It isss Sss-etth-usss. I chossse to ssserve. It wasss not them
       choosssing me." The man hissed back.
       "Fair enough. Thank you Sethus. One more question, are you
       related to the naga by chance?"
       Sethus' eyes flicked at this and he shook his head. "Perhaps
       somewhere in the past our ancestors shared a common forebearer.
       I am a shapeshifter, and of lizard kind. More related to the
       dragon kin than the naga," he explained in his hissing tone.
       "I'll leave you two for now. Later there will be a feast, your
       boar will be the centerpiece. I will be by to escort you to the
       newly fixed grand hall,"
       With a slight nod the lizard man left the two alone.
       "We'll definitely have to go to the feast," Cedrionn said gently
       pulling away to go grab food.
       ----fin----
       "Mmmm a lot of things you don't know about me," mused Mordechai
       as Wills hands roamed over his body  the kiss mixed the grip on
       his hair getting a moan out of him before a surprised sound left
       him at suddenly being pinned with the man grinding his growing
       member against his own earning needy sounds out of him before
       the man's lips warned with his own.
       The kiss broke and Wills seemed to have ideas for what to do
       after their fun. It appeared the man wanted more than a fling.
       Though it could easily be a trap. "We will just have to see how
       *convincing* you can be... if it is some form of trap... I hope
       you realize you won't survive to see your deception pay off," he
       warned, his long nails gently grazing down his lover's chest.
       "Fu.ck me nice and hard til I can't say no..." the necromancer
       purred.
       ---
       A grunt left Gaur as he fell back asleep, not waking again until
       he heard a knock on the door and Gaur cracked an eye open when
       he heard Cedrionn's response. It seemed some servant had things
       for them.
       A low rumbling growl left Gaur when the lizard man walk in but
       made no effort to move. He listened to the exchange his interest
       being peeked at the mention of a feast. He rolled onto his side,
       letting his mate up. Soon getting up himself and stretched.
       "That smells good..." He mused once they were alone, waiting for
       his mate to eat before going to eat himself.
       ---fin---
       Wills was beginning to think that Mordechai was a puzzle that he
       very much wanted to figure out. It might be part of his newly
       awakened sexual addiction for the man, or just the desire to
       keep Mordechai to himself.
       Wills eyes glittered and he moved his hands to brace against the
       other's chest as he shifted to sit on top of Mordechai's legs as
       the necromancer mentioned Wills trying to trap him.
       "My plan was never to trap you in the way you might be
       thinking." He started off and groaned at the nails on his chest.
       "I mean to trap you for *our* shared sexual gratifications. I
       want to keep you for myself. I'm not inclined to share you with
       anyone in that way." He said a bit possessively.
       "If after you meet my master & don't wish to stay, I will find a
       way to be with you." He promised.
       Wills grinned at the purred  words and began a quick descent
       down Mordechai's body, nipping a bit roughly before he was using
       his tongue and wet fingers to stretch out his new lover's body.
       He was a bit impatient, stopping after stretching the other out
       just enough and then folded Mordechai's legs up and thrusting in
       with a quick flex of his hips.
       "Fu.ck you feel so tight," he groaned, his hands sliding up to
       grip Mordechai's throat and then began a rather fast savage pace
       as he claimed the man's body. His hands slowly tightened a
       little bit as his thrusts git harder and faster, moans and
       groans escaping him.
       --+--
       ----
       Cedrionn thought it was quite endearing how protective his mate
       was if him. Had the lizard man actually been a threat his rune
       tattoos would have acted up to warn him.
       "Oh I should tell you, if my tattoos ever start glowing a red
       hue, that means danger is near or someone has bad intentions. I
       should have mentioned it before," he said as he pulled on the
       last pair of his clean clothes from his pack.
       "It does smell really good," he agreed going to take the cover
       off, showing a off a huge pile of ribs along with vegetables and
       freshly baked bread.
       "Ooh they must be e rewarding us for bringing back the boar," he
       said happily and helped himself.
       "Come join me," he urged Gaur before taking a bite of the meat.
       His eyes widened when the meat practically melted in his mouth
       and the meat slide off onto the plate.
       "Oh good gods they've got an incredible cook!" He praised a bit
       muffled by the food in his mouth.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Hearing Wills admit to wanting to trap uiym but in a much more
       fun way had the necromancer blushing. The idea the man wanted
       him to himself and even willing to seeming leave his master to
       make it happen had his long cold heart fluttering.
       That paired with the eagerness as his new lover seemingly raced
       down his body with a few harsh nips had Mordechai's mind
       floating and foggy, especially when the man began to stretch
       him.
       The impatient of Wills was apparent when Mord found his legs so
       suddenly pushed back to had the man filling him like that. It
       got a hot moan out of him. The hand sliding up to grip his neck
       as the man claimed him so savagely.
       He was becoming entirely unraveled, strangled moans leaving him
       until he got to the point of passing out at the man's hand,
       waking up moments later to cu.m, *hard* from the experience. "Oh
       fu.cking yes," he rasped out.
       ---
       "Noted," the Orc mused when his mate mentioned how his tattoos
       worked and moved to take part in the meal, eating slowly at
       first before a moan of satisfaction left him.
       "Must be, this food is great... can... you cook like this?" He
       questioned. Contemplating on kidnapping the cook when they left
       eventually. He had no intention of spending his life in
       servitude.
       ----
       Wills kept his quick pace even when he felt Mordechai's body go
       lack underneath him. His right grip loosening after he was sure
       the necromancer had passed out. The resulting hard  release on
       both their bodies was quite a pleasing sight.
       "You want a couple more?" He asked moving down to bit his
       lover's jaw then moved to mark the man's neck as well. "I do
       have *hours* before I have to go back," he murmured sliding his
       other hand down to slide over Mordechai's arousal.
       He continued roughly taking and choking Mordechai to the passing
       out several more times before he came long and hard. He
       collapsed on top of his new lover, panting and hoping he'd
       convinced the necromancer to at least go back with him for
       the.evening. "we do have beds, and tubs for washing up in. You
       could just come use one to clean up in," he murmured running his
       fingers through the others long silky hair.
       -----
       Cedrionn grinned around the mouthful he was eating, knowing
       where Gaur's mind must have gone.
       "I can cook decently, but It wouldn't hurt to recruit a cook to
       deal with that. Maybe even someone that can mend clothes," he
       sighed noticing a new hole in his worn pants.
       ----
       "Mmmhmm," Mordechai moaned out in agreement shivering at the
       man's claim he had hours before he needed to head back. The man
       certainly didn't disappoint as he Wills savagely claimed him,
       causing the necromancer to pass out and c.um over and over to
       the point he wasn't sure if he was lightheaded from the sex or
       oxygen deprivation but it didn't matter as he felt his new lover
       fill him finally, getting one last orgasim out of Mordechai.
       He was slowly catching his breath when a chuckle left him at his
       new lover's persistence on going home with him.
       "Fine... just for the night if that will appease you," he mused
       as he basked in how great he felt.
       ---
       "Be handy, I rip so much clothes and I'm terrible about putting
       it back together..." Gaur mused in agreement as he really
       started digging into the food, even more so when Cedrionn was
       done, finishing off all remaining food.
       ----
       Wills couldn't help but grin a bit, pleased to have convinced
       Mordechai to go back with him. "Oh it does," he murmured softly
       and moved to lay on his side and wrapping a bit possessively
       around Mordechai.
       After testing for a good long while, he sat up on top of the
       grave too and then moved to gather their clothes.
       "You have anything you need to do? I could give you a hand if
       you'd like." wills offered as he got redressed himself.
       -----
       Cedrionn nodded thinking that if they ever did settle down after
       helping this king with whatever he needed, it'd be nice to find
       a nurturing type to help raise their kids. Of course that was a
       long ways off.
       "Let's explore the place s bit more. There's a lot of ruins to
       explore. Who knows what we might find!  Plus there could be
       secret passages and doors the others haven't found yet," he
       added in a lower tone.
       ----
       It was nice and peaceful laying will Wills, the way he
       possessively held him like this making him feel oddly safe. The
       only sound being the gentle moan of the undead.
       When his new lover pulled away to get their clothes, Mordechai
       yawned and stretched out before accepting his clothes from the
       man and slowly pulled it on.
       "Hmmm shouldn't be, my servants will bring my things if I decide
       to stay." He mused once fully dressed, snapped his fingers and a
       zombie was bringing him a fresh glass of wine to sip. "Shall we?
       I do hope it isn't a long walk..." He said with a bored tone in
       his voice.
       ---
       When the food was gone, Gaur was quite please as he leaned back
       in his seat. He raised an eyebrow when his lover suggested they
       explore this place.
       "Alright..." He agreed, not wanting his mate to find trouble
       without him.
       ----
       Wills was suddenly feeling nervous about taking Mordechai back
       to the ruins. He hoped Abaddon and Nisha were in a good mood.
       He'd noticed they'd been having a lot more arguments than
       normal.
       "It's a little over an hours walk from here," he replied hoping
       that wouldn't be too far for the Necromancer. "Out in the
       desert. I'm pretty sure it used to be an old kingdom. There's a
       castle and an arena and a lot of other structures that we're
       working on restoring. Is there anything you want to know? Maybe
       other things about me?" He asked as he  led the way back through
       the forest and towards the desert sands.
       -----
       Cedrionn grinned back at Gaur's agreeing and got up to take his
       mate's hand and pulled him from the room.
       They hadn't gone all that far when they heard voices coming
       towards them. "Well shit, let's go this way," Cedrionn said
       dragging Gaur down another hallway and then tested doors until
       one opened and pulled his mate inside.
       He froze when he came face to face with the lizard man from
       before.
       "So sorry, we didn't mean to sneak into your room. Just was
       looking around a bit." Cedrionn explained with a uncomfortable
       laugh.
       "If you'd like to see more of the ruins, I will happily show you
       around. There are some dangerous places that I would hate for
       you to find yourselves in," Sethus said kindly, not seeming to
       mind them being there.
       Noticing the worn clothes they wore had him get a thoughtful
       look .
       "But first, let's look into finding you some nicer clothes to
       wear for dinner tonight. I'll take you the naga seamstress. She
       is quite gifted," Sethus suggested.
       Cedrionn blinked and then gave a nod. "Yes, please. We'd
       appreciate that."
       Sethus fixed his hair and pulled on a shirt and then led them to
       where Twyla and another naga woman was working on making and
       fixing clothes for several of the men.
       "Twyla, this is Cedrionn and Gaur, they are in need of clothes
       for the be banquet tonight. Could you make them something
       appropriate for them to wear?"
       ----fin----
       Twyla was instructing a woman on how to stitch the cloak a
       certain way.. before she heard movement to see a group of men.
       Her body shifted to slither about as she circled the two. She
       called out for the tape and measured Cedrionn first as she noted
       things.. guar was different all together.
       ”my my.. quite the muscle man.” She mused a bit as she slid
       around. “I think I can make these guar’s will take a little
       longer- so please do what you wish and be back in a few hours
       for fittings.” She told Sethus.
       The woman had dove into the work to try and forget the pain of
       losing Eden. She noticed the strange ranting of Abaddon but kept
       quiet of the fact she knew the redhead.. and the idea of her
       being here and probably killed didn’t set well.. for her it felt
       she went from a boiling pot right into the fire.
       “Oh any colors you wanted?” She asked cheerfully.
       -----
       "An *hour*? Through the *desert*?" The necromancer questioned as
       if insulted. "I changed my mind, you're definitely trying to
       kill me..." He complained as he followed after the man, the
       hoard of zombies trailing after him. One holding a shade leaf
       over his head and another fanning him as they walked while a
       third kept giving him wine.
       "Hmmm tell me where you are from, and how you ended up here." He
       demanded as they walked to the ruins.
       ----
       It wasn't long after they began their exploring that Cedrionn
       was pulling them into a room at the sound of others, finding the
       lizard man from before. While the elf was clearly uncomfortable,
       the lizard man seemed unphased and more concerned with their
       clothes and insisting he show the pair around. A huff leaving
       the Orc taking it as the lizard man didn't think he was tough
       enough to keep his mate safe, clearly insulted.
       Even with his agitation, Gaur obediently followed after his mate
       to a woman who were fixing clothes. His eyes locking on to the
       elegant grace that was Twyla as she went about getting their
       measurements. A blush coming to Gaur's cheeks at being called a
       muscle man. "Red" was all Gaur said to the woman. He felt,
       strange she finished, her flirtatious way making him flustered.
       ---
       Wills glanced over at Mordechai with a slight grin at the
       other's complaints. "If you're still sore, I could carry you,"
       he offered. "I promise you I want you very much alive,"
       It took him a moment of thought before he responded to
       Mordechai's demand.
       "From what I recall, my family was constantly on the move, we
       never stayed in one place for long. They were monster hunters
       and taught me to be one as well. I never really questioned why
       we did it, or what drove them. It took years to overcome the
       brainwashing they put me through."
       He paused to take a drink of water. "After my family died, I
       ended up with a group of other hunters..ones who were even worse
       than my parents. It took a year of being with them to realize
       they were more monstrous than what we hunted. And then we were
       captured by Abaddon and his assassin priest Amon. Most were
       killed outright, while I and another were kept and vetted by
       Amon.
       I was the only one to survive and got a second chance, a chance
       to be better and do better. Now they trust me to vet others,"
       ------
       Cedrionn went a bit stiff when the female naga measured him,
       breathing a bit shallowly. He relaxed a bit when she moved to do
       the same to Gaur. Her comment had him bristling a bit.
       "That's my muscle man, so don't get any ideas," he warned, his
       eyes flashing as jealousy surged through him. "We are bonded
       mates," he added.
       When she finished and asked about colors, he had  to think a
       moment, glancing at Gaur when he said red. "make mine black,"
       Sethus led the two men off hoping that there wouldn't be any
       drama going on. It seemed that Cedrionn was a bit possessive
       about Gaur and hadn't liked Twyla flirting with the orc.
       "What would you like to see first?" He asked.
       "Do we really need a babysitter? Can't we just look around on
       our own?" Cedrionn asked sounding a bit frustrated.
       Sethus' blinked slowly and then sighed. "I didn't mean to make
       you feel like that. I mostly just wanted to get to know you. I
       find you both rather fascinating. Though there are some
       dangerous areas, you both would probably be able to survive
       anything here,"
       Cedrionn's eyebrows rose and he let out a chuckle. "Ah so you
       just wanted to make friends? You should have just said so. Come
       on then Seth, give us a proper look around. Don't leave anything
       out,"
       -----
       Twyla gave a blink and a chuckle to Cedrionn.”I’d never become
       between mates.. it’s only natural I compliment what I see- it’s
       how I make friends.” She told the jealous man before they would
       leave. Her gentle sigh as she shifted back. Her hand ran over
       the cloth to the red that reminded her of Eden. Seeing how
       Cedrionn was with his bonded mate for some reason put her in a
       sense of nostalgia before she would get back to work.
       -----
       "I wouldn't stop you from carrying me the whole way," Mordechai
       teased before listening to Wills talk about his life. A former
       hunter, likely had they met before the man was with Abaddon, he
       would have tried to kill him like the Orc and elf had wanted.
       "Well.... I'm pleased to see you overcame your brainwashing." He
       mused, looking him over deep in thought. "Are you sure my hoard
       isn't going to be taken as an attack? You may want to warn your
       master," the necromancer suggested as they drew close to the
       ruins where Abaddon lived.
       ---
       Hearing Cedrionn getting so flustered and territorial had the
       Orc smirking wide. Hearing the man claim they were bonded mates
       felt good. The Naga reassuring the pair she had no intentions to
       come between them.
       Soon they were leaving and thr lizard man was suggesting showing
       them around and his mate getting irritated once more before the
       man mentioned just wanting to make friends. Gaur gave the man an
       untrusted glare but followed after his mate as the tour began.
       -----
       Wills paused at Mordechai's teasing and moved to lift the man up
       on his back piggy back style. "you think I was kidding? Not at
       all," he chuckled and slide his hands under the others thighs to
       hold him up.
       It actually made the trip go far quicker, since Wills had been
       walking slower for the Mordechai, not wanting to hurry him
       along.
       "It wasn't easy, but it was for the best. Think carrying the
       baby nagas helped see that they weren't any different than human
       babies."
       He had to think over Mordechai's question for a moment. "It
       might be, I'll go in first and talk with him first. Uh..I'll
       give you the mark Amon gave me. You can show it to any of the
       patrols and they'll stand down,"
       Wills set Mordechai down and drew out the talisman mark that
       Amon had given him when he'd become the assassin priest's
       trusted follower.
       "I'll be back as soon as I can," he promised as he set the
       talisman in the other's hand and then kissed him quickly before
       heading into the ruins.
       It took him a good ten minutes of searching before he found Amon
       and Abaddon working on one of the buildings with a group of
       nagas.
       "Master Abaddon, Priest Amon, I met a very powerful necromancer
       that wishes to meet with you. Do you have a moment to see him
       now? His horde of undead is with him to protect him. I left him
       my talisman to show the patrols. I hope that is enough to keep
       them from starting a fight,"
       Amon was quite shocked and pleased to hear Wills had come across
       such a powerful necromancer. If they could convince him to join
       their side, their dead could still be used to fight.
       "It might be wise to meet him now, Master,"
       -fin-
       Abaddon sat a bit busy with the builds for  growing.  His head
       went up to hear a voice breaking him from the thoughts of the
       growing tribe at the oasis- knowing they’d need to act soon- the
       fact there were dragons there was concerning enough.
       His head moved to listen a bit his eyes lit up at the idea of a
       necromancer. “Well let us meet this man.” He said as he walked
       with Wills to do so.
       ----
       Amon followed after Wills and Abaddon, his fingers brushing
       against the handle of his dagger and sword. He hoped that Wills
       was right and hadn't accidentally brought back someone that
       might try and attack Abaddon.
       Wills was relieved to find Mordechai where he'd left the man and
       introduced the men. "This is my master Abaddon and the priest
       Amon. Master, this is Mordechai, the necromancer I mentioned,"
       -----
       It felt like ages for the necromancer before Wills finally
       returned. Mordechai gave a wide smile when he saw the two men
       being introduced and gave a bow. "Greetings, I am the reanimater
       of the dead as my new lover claims. Not to be prude but I only
       come at his pleading. I do not intend to stay." He said with a
       c.ock of his hip as his hoard was slowly gathering behind him.
       ----
       “Greetings, would you mind staying even if it’s for a bit?”
       Asked Abaddon to notice the hoard gathering - the idea of
       hitting up that growing tribe with all of this? Was on his mind.
       For some reason the god of death entered his head.. the one that
       no one would ever see in his mind was showing himself.”I would
       love to learn how you’d  do this.. that’s if you don’t mind
       talking to me a little?” He asked,
       -----
       Wills face flushed a bit when Mordechai claimed him as his
       lover, but didn't say anything about it. To know the guy was
       serious enough about him to claim him, had Wills feel rather
       strange inside.
       "Would you stay for a night?" He asked, having the feeling that
       Mordechai  might actually say yes to him. "I could show you
       around the ruins," he added.
       -----
       A skeptical look came to Mordechai's face at Abaddon's mention
       of him staying for a bit to talk but then his eyes went to his
       lover requesting he stay the night. "Fine... I can stay for the
       night... I suppose I'm curious about this place..." He voiced
       with a sigh. "Should my... friends stay here? I doubt they will
       be welcome in the ruins if it is more than just you..." He said
       with a sigh, clearly not liking being away from his servants.
       -----
       “They are your servants are they not? I would never ask someone
       to leave their own behind.” Said Abaddon with a smile.”so please
       make yourself comfortable.” Said the man as he heard a
       noise.”no! No not there! Nisha said the left.. no.. THE LEFT!”
       He facepalmed.”you know what let me do it!” He complained to
       walk off.
       ----
       Willis  couldn't help but look pleased when Mordechai agreed to
       stay for the night. Hearing Abaddon telling his lover to take
       his zombie servants along had him giving Mordechai a smile.
       Then he was chuckling when Abaddon began directing the workers
       in what they were moving around.
       "I have a place we can settle your servants if you'd like.
       Probably wouldn't hurt to keep a handful with us if we go into
       the labyrinth and wilder areas of the ruins. We're still finding
       monsters everyday," he explained as he led Mordechai away.
       Amon raised an eyebrow taking in how the two seemed so close. He
       had the feeling that Wills would want to leave if Mordechai
       decided to not stay. Though...could he really blame Wills for
       wanting more than just the job he'd been forced into? Perhaps
       they could establish a treaty or pact with the necromancer.
       ----
       Hearing his servants were welcomed had Mordechai raising an
       eyebrow before a slight grin came to his lips. "Alright, yes,
       let's get my servants settled and then you can give me this
       ground tour." The necromancer mused, though the way he looked
       over his lover's body he had other things in mind.
       Once the zombies were settled, he followed Wills around as he
       was told about the place, though Mord was more interested in
       checking out his lover than anything the ruins had to offer.
       ----
       It had been a harsh reality when Drake realized no one had
       mentioned they were packing up camp that morning when he left
       for his hunt. He knew the tribe hadn't exactly accepted him...
       but he hadn't expected to be left behind again. It seemed he
       could never catch a break, his seeming bad luck following him
       everywhere he went.
       He debated for a moment on trying to find the tribe again, but
       decided it wasn't worth it. He wouldn't be able to handle the
       glares of disappointment of his return. So, instead he headed in
       a random direction, deciding he would need to find a place to
       set up shelter for the night.
       ----
       Abaddon was busy with some work outside to patch a hole in the
       ruin when he heard a familiar sound he knew well. He saw a few
       dog sized scorpions to know the bigger one was coming.. while he
       took care of the little ones he had near him.. saw a man making
       his way to the ruins. His brow furrowed seeing the sands shift
       before a large claw would come out.. if there was anything to
       compare it to.. was four times taller than a man.
       Course the moment he saw the blades go aflame- told him that was
       a tuner, and dove into help when it looked like he was
       struggling. His lightning tuning nailing it in the end causing
       the body to seize.
       “Boy this way!” He called out to the teen.
       —-fin—
       Wills grinned back at Mordechai's proposal. "we can end it in my
       quarters," he added with a knowing wink.
       He led his lover and the horde of zombies to an empty room on
       the ground floor and put up very prominent signs that no one was
       to enter. He added on his initials JW and that it was by their
       King's orders.
       "There, no one should bother them, though I could also get
       protective talismans to frighten others away," he said
       thoughtfully.
       He led Mordechai through parts of the ruins he thought might be
       interesting to the necromancer. It had only been a half an hour
       when he realized that Mordechai was more interested in checking
       him out than anything else.
       "We could cut the tour short and find a spot to have some fun.
       Or go to my room if you're prefer," he purred, his hand sliding
       around Mordechai's waist and pulled the slightly taller man
       closer.
       "You needing me inside you again already?"
       -----
       Nevvern pushed the now frozen attacker off of his slender body
       and watched as it went falling down into the soft sand, small
       droplets of water already forming on the surface.
       "Why do so many of these monster men keep trying to unalive me?"
       He complained in a soft mutter as he fixed his turn clothes as
       best as he could.
       The blaring blazing sun stung a bit on his sensitive skin,
       before he got the mantle of his white robe settled on top of his
       blue tinted hair.
       "Maybe it's my elf blood that they scent?" He mused for a moment
       and the. Retrieved the weapons the monster mixed man had lost in
       their fight. "It would be nice to find someone that doesn't try
       to kill me at first sight," he sighed heavily as he continued on
       his way through the shifting sands.
       He'd never had thought he would find himself stranded in a never
       ending hellish desert of heat and misery. It took a moment of
       concentration to focus his ice tuning to cool the air around him
       so he could bear the intense heat.
       "There's a water source not too far," he commented, picking up
       on the sense and scent of water within a league of where he was.
       "Good, I doubt that asshole's water would last me that long," he
       spoke again as he headed in the direction of the water he'd
       sensed.
       -----
       Sethus had tried to ignore the growing influx of new couples or
       mated groups in the growing tribe, newly named Heavens Skies. It
       was rather difficult watching the loving couples and mates steal
       kisses or finding hidden corners to do their erotic mating
       rituals in. It seemed he was alone in this hellish eternal
       celibate state.
       Sethus decided to go check in on Twyla. After her rather intense
       intervention with Amon a few days prior he'd noticed she seemed
       not quite herself. He found her in the sewing room working on
       one of her endless mending jobs.
       "Twyla, are you all right? You seem a bit stressed out lately.
       Is there anything I could do to help you?" He asked, moving to
       put a gentle hand on her arm.

       "Potentially, it isn't a bad idea. I might have a spell that
       could work I would just need the right materials and
       sacrifices." Mordechai mused as they walked the grounds. The
       necromancer smirked hearing Wills suggest cutting the tour short
       for fun. His breath catching in his throat when the shorter man
       pulled him closer. The words practically making him a puddle in
       Wills's arms.
       "I don't think I can wait all the way to your quarters..." He
       murmered before kissing  the man deeply, his needy body pressing
       against Wills. He was already imagining the man buried inside of
       him.
       "Maybe I will even let you tie me up if you want," Mordechai
       suggested seductively.
       ----
       Feeling shifting sands under his feet had Drake's eyes widen in
       panic as he was suddenly in the cluches of the biggest scorpion
       he had ever seen. The teen terranian managed to escape the
       creatures claws temporarily when he ignited his swords and
       started the beast.
       This didn't last long as the beast began to come at him with
       it's stinger. That was when a bolt of lightning managed to stun
       the beast. He turned quickly toward the voice before taking off
       in the direction the man gestured to.
       ----
       It had been an intresting few months in this ruins. Whiskey had
       arrived and just, set up shop. Brewing his different kinds of
       booze and seemingly giving it away. He hadn't even met the
       leaders or gone through this test he heard thebother members of
       this tribe complain about. When asked questions he would just
       respond, "Whiskey?" And give them a glass. It got most to shut
       up.
       Due to the volume of booze he was producing, he was running low
       on certain herbs he needed in order to brew the booze. He was in
       his wold form, most would mistake him for a larger than average
       wolf, as he trotted around sniffing out plants. His noise picked
       up, cold. That was strange.
       As he followed the sent, he came across an eld with blue skin.
       He tilted his head listening to the man's complaint to give a
       bark.
       ---fin---
       Twyla was busy stitching. It was or felt the only way to keep
       herself in check. She was beginning to feel cranky since she
       lost someone she cared for, and had been sorely pent up.
       She pricked her finger to put it to her mouth, before she’d feel
       a hand on her arm. She looked at Sethus as she sighed as her
       tail shut the door.”unless you want to fuck me?” She said with a
       coy smile.”honestly- just pent up- seems this is all I can do- “
       she grumbled.”least Abaddon is finally getting his head straight
       on.” She commented a bit.
       She didn’t think he’d actually agree to lay with her- but it had
       been some time before she had a gentle touch.
       ——
       Abaddon went in fighting, to protect the teen boy to bring down
       the scorpion before he would head toward the teen.”are you
       alright?” He asked drake.”are you hurt anywhere?” He questioned
       as he checked the boy over. Fussing over him almost like a
       father would. “Let’s get you inside- think I see a sand storm
       coming.” He said to offer a direction to the entrance of the
       place.
       ----
       "I can help get whatever you'd need for your spell," Wills
       offered.
       He couldn't help but grin seeing the smirk and Mordechai's
       breath catching at suddenly being so close. Feeling the other
       melting in his arms had Wills moving in and nipping on
       Mordechai's jaw. Then he let out a deep groan when Mordechai's
       lips were covering his own.  He returned the kiss, sliding his
       hands to down to grope Mordechai's butt a bit roughly.
       "Hmm...tying you up would be fun," he agreed before pulling
       Mordechai further into the ruins to a secluded space that had
       half the roof missing. In one corner there was two large iron
       rings attached to the brick wall and ropes to one side.
       "I'd hate to mark your body up too much though. Maybe we can use
       your silk belts instead?" Wills asked, as he started undressing
       his lover and teasing Mordechai's neck with his lips and
       nibbling as well.
       -----
       Nevvern's head jerked up at the sound of a loud bark and froze
       seeing the oversized wolf standing a few yards from him. His
       fingers twitched towards his dagger as his mind worked through a
       few thoughts.
       "What's a beautiful creature like you doing out here in the
       desert?" He asked in a calm and friendly tone. "Do you belong to
       someone?" He questioned curiously.
       The fact that a wild creature hadn't outright attacked him, made
       him think the wolf might be more than he appeared to be.
       "Are you the friendly type wolf? Come, there's water this way,"
       Nevvern said and headed to the small watering hole that was a
       few feet away, hidden among some rocks.
       Not really thinking much about the wild, Nevvern used his water
       tuning to pull out and manipulate water to fill his water skin.
       "You thirsty wolf?" He asked and pulled out water to fill a hand
       and hold it out to the wolf.
       ----
       Sethus glanced back at the door as Twyla's tail closed it. Her
       next words had him freezing, his inner eyelids quickly flicking
       closed and open, his mouth going a bit dry.
       "I don't mean to be rude in asking, but are you the age of
       consent? I wouldn't want to anger your aunt by taking advantage
       of you in any way," he replied seriously.
       He made a thoughtful sound and moved in to get a better look at
       what she'd been working on. "It is good work. Yes, you have been
       a good influence for him and Amon." He praised her.
       "If you are wanting something to ease your stress, I could give
       you a massage if you'd like." He offered.
       ----fin----
       It almost felt like Wills cast a spell on the necromancer as he
       was nearly instantly puddy in his hands. Gladly following him
       into the ruins before Wills suggested using his belts as
       restraints. "Yeah, you can use my belts," Mordechai agreed in a
       groaning voice at the attention to his neck. "You don't need to
       prepare me, I'm still quite prepared from earlier," he told his
       lover as he let himself become entirely submissive to his lover.
       ---
       Whiskey slowly tracked forward to the elf, realizing the area
       was cooler. The werewolf debated over if he would let the man
       know if he was more than just a wolf. He tilted his head to one
       side at the offered water after watching such expert tuning and
       slowly walked forward to lap the water out of the stranger's
       hand.
       When the elf didn't try to grab him, Whiskey took a few steps
       back and shifted into his humanoid form. "Elf nice, Whiskey like
       elf," he mused with a wagging tail, guaging the man's reaction
       to his form.
       ---
       It was nothing if not awe inspiring to watch Abaddon take down
       the scorpion before heading for Drake.  He felt nervous and shy
       as he answered his savior. "Just some minor stuff...  I've had
       worse," he said, his heart was pounding as he felt warm for an
       unexplainable reason. Having Abaddon fussing over him was a new
       experience that he didn't understand, but he liked it.
       "Uh... yeah okay, I'm uh... Drake, what... what is your name?"
       He questioned.
       ---fin---
       Twyla chuckled.”I am 20- just don’t ask my aunt her age and
       you’ll live.” She joked a bit. His praises giving a soft
       smile.”oh they just needed to learn to be themselves around each
       other- and Amon didn’t exactly understand what love was thanks
       to the fanatics, but least they look happy.” Said twyla. She
       heard a massage to grin.”that would be lovely.. my back has been
       killing me with all this work.” She sounded softly.
       ——
       “You can call me Abaddon- leader of the tribe living in those
       ruins.. please come in- bet your starving.” Said the man.”what
       is a young teen boy like you doing without your tribe?” He asked
       noticing no one else around. He’d seen a few abandoned children
       sure- but never one where they seemed well taken care of. “Or
       are you alone?” He asked.
       —fin—
       Wills slide Mordechai's belts off, draped them around his neck
       and finished undressing Mordechai. His eyes grew darker at the
       already aroused state his lover was in.
       "Oh you are? Well that's helpful." He murmured and slide a hand
       over Mordechai's shaft and backed him up against the stone wall.
       His hand slide off and then strung the belt through the rings
       and made a loop to slip around Mordechai's wrist. He made it
       tight enough so his lover couldn't slip out and repeated the
       process with the other wrist.
       Wills stripped himself and then moved in to wrap a hand around
       Mordechai's throat and kissed the man deeply, his other hand
       going back to teasing and stroking over him.
       After a few more deep kisses he pulled back and lifted
       Mordechai's legs up around his waist and thrust deep inside him.
       Then he began roughly fucking Mordechai, a hand going to gently
       choking the man again. His other hand held and groped
       Mordechai's ass before sliding up to start choking Mordechai a
       bit harder.
       "What would you do if I just kept you locked up to use you like
       this? Would you hate being kept in such a way?" He couldn't help
       but ask and let up a bit on the choking to hear Mordechai's
       answer.
       His rough thrusts did ease up in the slightest, a hot moan
       escaping him.
       ------
       Vain swerved to avoid the dagger sharp claws of the incensed
       harpy, the weight of Angelus' passed out form in his arms making
       him slower than normal.
       The claws caught the edge of his leathery wing and brought a
       pained grunt from him when it tore and started to bleed.
       "Fucking flying menaces," he swore and turned to catch the wind
       to ride it towards the ruined buildings he spied below.
       The harpies behind them shrieked and doubled their speed in an
       attempt to catch up. Knowing his chance of getting Angelus away
       from the breed happy harpies was lessening by the seconds, Vain
       turned and brought up a hand to unleash a bright burst of magic
       to blind them.
       The harpies pained shrieks   filled the air and came up short.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Vain felt Angelus start to slide from his grip and twisted to
       catch the other's body and pulled the white haired boy close.
       Then he dove into the closest ruined building, moving to hide
       Angelus in the shaded area and froze seeing the two men going at
       it so roughly.
       "There be harpies on the wind," he warned in a low rough voice
       startling the both of them.
       Wills turned with a growl of frustration at being interrupted
       then blinked at the sight of the dragon winged man holding the
       angelic protectively in his arms.
       "Harpies you say?" He asked as he reluctantly pulled away and
       released Mordechai's wrists before quickly getting his pants
       back in. "Great...just what we need,"
       Vain moved to set Angelus gently on the ground, leaning the
       younger man's head against the wall and turned back to eye the
       opening in the roof. It was only a few moments later that the
       three harpies invaded, rushing at those inside.
       ----
       Sethus nodded, giving Twyla a smile. "I am aware it is rude to
       ask a lady her age. I apologize for having to ask, nagas tend to
       age slower in appearance from what I've noticed," he explained.
       "Oh? I got the feeling he might have gone through some rough
       practices. The fanatics tend to do some very intense training
       with their young," he murmured feeling a bit of empathy for
       Amon. At least he seemed to be changing now for the better.
       "Would you like to use one of the recovery rooms? It might be
       too forwards to using either of our rooms." He said
       thoughtfully. "If there's a special oil you'd like me to use, we
       can stop by your room to get it,"
       He offered his hand to help her up and then moved to open the
       door and held it open for her.
       Most might be surprised by his behavior, as he'd pretty much
       lived in his own until finding the naga tribe several years
       earlier. In truth, the gentle side and actions had been taught
       to him as a child. He'd once been slated to serve as an aid for
       a prince of his people, until they'd been wiped out and he'd
       discovered his shapeshifting ability. It had been this skill
       that had kept him alive.
       ----fin----
       A needy moan escaped Mordechai when Wills began to play with the
       necromancer's member and pushed him against the wall. Soon he
       was tied up against the wall, the cool stone a nice contrast to
       the heated passion against his body and lips as his lover began
       to make out with him while playing with his body, even lightly
       choking him before the man finally lifted him up and began to
       roughly claim him.
       When Wills used both hands to choke him, the corners of his
       vision began to blur before his lover let up. "If you fu.cked me
       like this constantly? I think I would just let you breed me for
       as long as you wanted," he moaned out.
       It was just as Mordechai was on the very edge of release that a
       loud noise and then a voice startled them, Wills practically
       growling like a beastkin. A whine left Mord as he was released
       from his ties and quickly got dressed. "Is this place always
       so... exciting?" The necromance questioned. He quickly got
       dressed before quietly chanting to himself. When the Harpies
       flew in, one was snagged by Mordechai's spell, clearly being
       drained of her life force.
       ---
       Relief, and even a smile came to Drake's lips at just how
       welcoming Abaddon was, gladly following the man inside. "I'm
       indeed starving," he added before a frown came to his lips at
       the question of why he was on his own.
       "Well... after my folks died I've kind of bounced around from
       tribe to tribe and well... I was with a tribe but... I went
       hunting and they left without me without telling me..." He said,
       clearly disheartened at being abandoned yet again.
       ---fin---
       Twyla gave her smile a bit to hear him speak. “More than you
       know- I know the pack has their own ways that are rough- but I
       hear there’s a woman involved that managed to instill such an
       idea among the fanatics.” Said Twyla with a bit of a talk.
       Her head turned a bit.”I don’t mind using my room- it’s hard to
       interrupt - but if you wish for a different room, we can go
       there.” Said twyla to take his hand.
       Her hand rested above her chest a bit at the action of
       politeness you wouldn’t see often to blush a bit.”thank you
       kindly.” She said as her legs shifted to its human form to allow
       her to walk. She took Sethus arm wondering how capable he would
       be to help her.
       ——
       Abaddon’s head tilted a he listened to drake. He got him inside
       and some food and a drink.  Hearing the teens plight made him
       frown.”abandoning their own… that’s no tribe to be in.. “ he
       said as he got a hand drake’s shoulder.”why not join mine then-
       you’d be accepted here.. yes sure- you might work a little- but
       it’s something you can relax and not worry about being left
       alone.” Said the man softly.
       While he did have a tribe before this.. being kicked out and
       chased away was still something he felt hurt about.”I too was
       abandoned once.. but with my mates we formed this tribe..
       please.. feel free to stay with us, “ said the man with a warm
       smile.

       Nevvern waited patiently for the wolf to make a, not moving in
       the slightest. A pleased smile filled his face when the wolf
       finally came closer and lapped up the water.
       "Such a handsome one you are," he praised in a gentle tone while
       he watched the wolf drink up the water.
       He was a bit stunned when the wolf backed up and shifted into a
       beast kin, speaking in simple words.
       "Whiskey is your name? Well your eyes are the color of whiskey,
       so it's quite fitting," he replied, his smile getting a bit more
       pronounced. "Do you live around here with others?" He asked
       curiously and pulled his hood back on and stood slowly.
       It didn't be other him all that much that Whiskey was taller.
       "Would it be okay to go with you?" He found himself asking.
       ------
       Wills was quite pleased that he might be able to convince
       Mordechai to stay, but it was colored with annoyance and
       frustration of being interrupted and the sudden threat of
       harpies attacking. A serious focused look filled his features as
       the harpies shrieked and began their attack. Mordechai's magic
       stopped one, and he unleashed a blade that sank into another's
       lungs, cutting off her scream as the lung collapsed.
       The third was met by the snarling dragon winged teen as he
       caught her clawed hands and wrestled her back from the
       vulnerable Angelus.
       "Die already!" He snapped angrily, and let loose a spell from
       his hands that caught her on fire.
       The harpy shrieked and tried to get loose. Only to have her head
       cracked repeatedly into the stone wall by the furious Vain until
       she was a bloody mess.
       Vain dropped her, glancing at the other one that Wills had
       managed to kill with his blades.
       "Thanks for your help, I'll go now" Vain muttered ,and wiped his
       bloody hands on the side of his pants before moving to pick up
       the still unconscious Angelus.
       "You and your friend are hurt, we have healers here that can
       help. Why don't you stay for the night at least?" Wills
       suggested, noticing there was shackle marks on both of them as
       well as signs of being tortured.
       Vain raised an eyebrow, looking the two over closely before
       giving a short nod. "A night then," he agreed, a look of
       suspicion in his eyes. He wasn't normally the trusting type, but
       Angelus was in need of a healer.
       Wills eyed the dead harpies and then looked at Mordechai. "It
       can get exciting around here, but not this crazy. Sorry our fun
       was interrupted. We can continue in my room, let's go take these
       two the healers," he suggested and pulled Mordechai closer.
       They were soon heading off to the healers room. When Wills
       noticed Abaddon speaking with a other newcomer in the kitchen,
       he headed over to him.
       "Master, I'm taking these two to the healers. They tried to get
       away from some harpies that were after them.
       The harpies are under Mordechai's control now. I..I didn't get
       your names so I can't introduce you. This is Abaddon, our
       leader," Wills said turning to look at the dragon boy.
       "Vain, and Angelus." Vain replied, his sharp eyes wandering over
       Drake for a long moment. "Healers now?" He questioned his focus
       going back to getting help for Angelus.
       ------
       "I'm lucky to have managed to stay away from both factions
       then," Sethus said thoughtfully.
       He'd heard a lot of what past pack and fanatic followers were
       subjected to. Most of the practices done were horrifying to
       imagine. Especially the things that Amon had gone through as a
       child.
       "If you prefer your quarters that's fine. I can always take my
       lizard or skink form to leave. The last thing I'd want is to
       cause you any trouble or rumors that might hurt your
       reputation,"
       Sethus bowed his head politely to her thanks and slide her hand
       to the crook of his arm. He was quite thankful that his body
       didn't give away the thoughts that were filling his mind at
       having Twyla so close.
       Once they'd made it to her room, he had her tell him where her
       oil was and then instructed her to lay out on her stomach on the
       bed.
       His hands gently brushed her long hair up off her back and neck.
       Then he got to work, gently kneading her neck and shoulders to
       warm up her muscles. Then he focused more pressure to the tight
       areas and worked on the knots that were in her neck and along
       the spine.
       "You need to get massages more often, you are way too tight and
       tense," he murmured and moved to straddle her legs so he could
       work both hands up either side of her back.
       "feeling any better now?" He asked once he'd finally finished.
       Sethus hoped she hadn't noticed just how hard he'd started to
       get from touching her. It was a little embarrassing for him.
       He moved off her legs to sit on the edge of the bed.
       --fin--
       ----
       The wagging of Whiskey's tail only increased in vigor as the
       snow elf spoke. "Yes." The beastkin answered, in his mind to
       both questions, though he didn't explain that as he stood to his
       full height and offered his hand out to the blue skinned man
       before dragging him along back to the ruins that were quickly
       becoming in much more than ruins.
       The beastkin had converted one building into the beginnings of a
       proper bar. "Name?" He questioned, as he began his usual work
       with the plants he had gathered. "Can stay. Whiskey place." He
       said as explanation.
       ---
       Despite the irritation at being interrupted, Mordechai was
       delighted to add three new beings to his collection of the
       undead, he began more preoccupied with planning out what be
       would do with them, looking to Wills when he spoke of the place
       getting exciting, bot not usually this bad.
       A blush crossed the necromancer cheeks when his lover was
       pulling him close again. "You bring them to the healer, I, have
       a bit of work to do here. Come find me... we can continue in
       your room after." He suggested before kissing Wills and pulling
       away.
       The necromancer then got to work reanimated the bodies of the
       harpies.
       ---
       Having a full belly and Abaddon's offer to stay. "I'm no
       stranger to work, I would love to join you!" He said, clearly
       star struck with the way he gazed at his savior. "I, would be a
       fool to decline such a kind offer," he added with a wide smile.
       "Would I be able to meet your mates? I bet they are pretty great
       if they are worthy of you!" He praised in a very fanboy like
       fashion.
       Their bonding moment, or more Drake imprinting on Abaddon like
       an abandoned puppy, was interrupted but to stunning winged men
       being led by a rather normal looking man. He blushed seeing the
       way the dragon like man looked him over.
       "What happened?" He couldn't help but question in shock seeing
       the condition the angel was in.
       ---fin---
       She told him where her oil was to remove her top and lay forward
       her bare back towards the man. She felt her hair lifted and
       draped away,
       She groaned at the feeling of the firm hands working at her,
       loosening parts that felt knotted up and others that had been
       hurting. She made a soft noise to hear his words.”mm- been so
       busy I hadn’t tried.” She said softly to feel him straddle her
       to blush a bit.
       After what felt a good time heard his question to chuckle
       softly. “I’m feeling much better…” she said her eye peering up
       at him as she could smell his arousal. When she saw he moved she
       did as well.”you sure you don’t want to have some fun? I’m not
       in heat so there’s no worry for a child- and can be plenty
       relaxing..” she said her hand resting on his leg and being
       close. Being what she was the fact she was topless was natural.
       “Course only if you want to..” she said to settle back to
       stretch and arch her back.”so much better!” She said with a
       happy sigh to relax.
       —-
       Abaddon made a wide grin at the young terranian.”I don’t see why
       not- just know my sweet queen is pregnant- so she may be a tad
       moody.” He warned.
       Abaddon heard the words of the man taking some men to a healer-
       his eyes briefly would go hard at the idea of letting them come
       in this way- a sign of his mind going. He was ready to spout the
       idea of denying them help-  until it traveled to how drake was-
       it brought enough sense to ground him as he sighed instead- his
       gaze softening.”the healers are in the corridor down the hall
       wills- “ he said to move some.”please come with me drake. I
       don’t think I showed you those halls either..” he mused.
       —fin—
       Nevvern's smiled brightly seeing Whiskey's wagging tail and
       hearing the beast kin's reply. He got the feeling that Whiskey
       was the type to be of few words when his hand was taken and he
       was lead off. At least he was able to keep up easily enough.
       He looked around the buildings, noticing that they were in
       various stages of repair. He glanced around what looked like a
       drinking tavern taking it in until Whiskey asked his name and
       then told him he could stay there.
       "Oh, I'm Nevvern Amarsarr. You can call me Nev though," he said
       and pulled off his pack and heavy cloak, setting them on one of
       the chairs and fixed his long hair a bit. "Nice place you've got
       here. I don't plan on staying free of charge. I can help you fix
       up the place a bit," he offered seeing the place just had the
       bare minimum essentials and little to no decorations. "uh..do
       you have a place I could use to clean up in? And maybe a
       bathroom?" He asked politely.
       ------
       Wills let out a rather reluctant sigh at being separated from
       Mordechai but nodded. "I won't be long. Just be careful," he
       told the necromancer.
       Wills paused at the teen's question about what had happened,
       noting Abaddon's displeased look at the two he'd brought in.
       "Tortured, abused, held captive, then escaped, caught by
       breed-happy harpies and escaped again," Vain replied in a short
       clipped tone. Though his features didn't change, he was gentle
       as he shifted Angelus in his arms.
       Wills was relieved that Abaddon slipped out of the odd mood and
       then told him to escort the two to the healers.
       "This way Vain," he said motioning the young man.
       They headed down the hall and soon Angelus was being examined
       and questions were thrown at Vain about more specific things the
       unconscious Angelus had gone through.
       "Harpy body slammed into him, very hard. Got knocked out. Near
       an hour now," Vain replied, not leaving the others side as a
       healer saw to his torn wing and other wounds.
       "Could you move so we can work on your friend?"
       At this Vain's eyes blazed red. "Not moving, I will help," he
       insisted and then took the others hand in his own.
       "Angelus...wake up, you're safe now," he spoke in a gentler
       voice and let loose a bit of healing magic from his hands.
       "No more sleeping, wake up," he commanded after a few moments
       had gone by.
       A soft groan came from the white haired teen as he stirred
       slowly in the bed. "V-vain? My head...my body feels weird,"
       Vain lifted Angelus' hand to his lips. "Other healer's magics
       are different," he murmured apologetically.
       "Other...healers?" Angelus' eyelids blinked open, showing off
       brilliant blue eyes as he looked around the room and the healers
       hovering over him. "Ah wonderful. You've found kind people," he
       said with a small smile and closed his eyes and lifted his arm
       over his eyes. "Good job Vain, you've done well,"
       ----
       ----++
       Once Wills was sure the two would be in good care with the
       healers he headed back to where he'd left Mordechai. He felt a
       bit concerned with Abaddon's odd behavior and knew he would have
       to tell Amon and Nisha about it when he had the chance. He was
       sure though that the others might be too busy to talk at the
       moment.
       He figured if Mordechai was still working he could wait for him
       to finish.
       "How's the work going?" He asked, staying outside the room where
       Mordechai was working.
       -----
       Twyla's moans and sounds of pleasure from his touch was still
       ringing in his ears. "I'm glad to hear you're feeling better
       lady Twyla,* he murmured and toyed with his hair a bit.
       Her bringing up doing more and mentioning she wasn't in heat had
       him biting his bottom lip as he considered the idea.
       The touch on his leg made a thrill go through him. He glanced
       over, looking her in the eyes. "I very much do, but there's
       something I should tell you first. Lizard men are blessed more
       than other races. I don't want you to be too shocked or freaked
       out by it. I have two shafts." He admitted.
       Sethus could help but admire Twyla as she stretched out and
       arched her back. "You are stunningly beautiful Twyla," he
       couldn't help but say and gently reached over to caress her face
       and guided her a bit closer.  "May I kiss you?"
       ----fin----
       The exchange between Abaddon and the strangers was tense to say
       the least, Drake obediently following along when the man
       seemingly snapped out of it before they went with the winged
       beings and Wills, the latter leaving shortly after. The young
       terranian in awe of the creatures as an explanation was given
       and the angel finally waking.
       He was reluctant to leave when it seemed Abaddon seemed ready to
       move on in his tour of the ruins he was turning into a village.
       ---
       By the time Wills had returned, Mordechai was nearly done,
       grinning wide when he heard his lover's voice. "It is safe to
       come in, I'm done," he called out.
       As Wills walked in, Mordechai wrapped his arms around his
       lover's neck to kiss the man *deeply*. "Ready to take me to your
       room, tie me up and fuck me into oblivion?" He questioned in a
       sultry voice.
       ---
       At Nevvern's introduction of himself and offer to help, Whiskey
       gave a bright grin. Like before, the beastkin only answered with
       a "yes," before taking the snow elf's hand  and leading him off
       to a magnificent bath house made by the leader of the ruins. It
       was rarely used by anyone and with the rulers busy, it was
       empty.
       The wolfkin was quick to strip out of his clothes before sinking
       into the water, motioning for the chilly elf to join him.
       ---fin---
       Abaddon saw the teens look.”If you want to stay your more than
       welcome to.” He told drake. Looking at the child with a gentle
       look.
       ——
       Twyla  seemed to blink.”that won’t freak me in the least-“ she
       said with a soft smile. His compliment met with a blush and
       feeling his band in her face before the soft tug closer.
       Her eye widened a bit.”quite the gentleman you are.. yes .. you
       may.” She said to feel his lips on hers. A soft noise slid out
       before her arms would encircle the male as the kiss would
       deepen.
       __fin—
       Vain looked pleased by Angelus' praise and then glanced up at
       the exchange between the other dragon boy and the leader. His
       attention was quickly back on Angelus as the teen moved to sit
       up and lean forwards on the cot.
       "Got anything for headaches? Like really, it's hurting badly."
       The boy said rubbing his temples and keeping his face out of the
       light. "just ..where are we?" He asked curiously after a few
       moments.
       Vain's expression shifter from blank to extremely worried at
       Angelus' saying his head hurts. He moved in to place his fingers
       gently on the other's head and let out more healing magic.
       "Vain...you shouldn't overdo it," Angelus protested and reached
       up to pull his friend's hands away after a few moments. "You're
       gonna pass out if you keep this up,"
       Vain merely grunted, a stubborn look filling his face. "I'll be
       fine," he argued.
       Angelus smacked the other's hands away and then glanced up to
       see Drake staring. "Well hello there cutie, what's your name?"
       He asked in an extremely flirty way.
       Vain let out a long suffering sigh and retreated a bit. The
       healers took the opportunity to hand over medicine that would
       help Angelus' headache and checked over Vain more thoroughly.
       "You both should rest for the next few hours," one suggested.
       Then it was. Drake's turn to get checked over.
       -----
       Nevvern grinned, following after Whiskey. He got an amazed look
       on his face seeing how luxurious the bathroom was
       "This is amazing!" He exclaimed getting lost in admiring it.
       His attention was soon back on Whiskey when the beast kin
       stripped and slide into the water. His clothes were soon off and
       he slipped into the water. It took a great deal of control to
       keep from freezing the water on contact. His colder body cooled
       the water by a good twenty degrees on entry.
       "Sorry, I can't really keep from cooling water down. It's
       Something I'm still working on," Nevvern apologized as he
       started cleaning himself.
       After he'd gotten what he could reach he glanced at Whiskey.
       "mind getting my back for me? I can get yours if you'd like,"
       ------
       Wills eyed the three undead harpies as he came into the room. He
       was soon distracted by Mordechai's attention and slide his arms
       around his lover in response to the deep kiss.
       "Oh I'm quite ready to do that. Should we move these three in
       with the rest of your horde?" He asked, not really wanting to
       leave them where others might accidentally run into them.
       Once that was taken care of, he dragged Mordechai into his
       quarters. They weren't all that special, though he did have a
       nice sized comfortable bed. He pushed Mordechai onto the bed and
       used his lover's belts to tie him to the bedframe once he'd
       stripped the both of them.
       "Now then..you said something about fucking you into oblivion?"
       Wills asked with a low lustful tone.
       He was quickly back inside of his lover, his hands roaming over
       Mordechai's body as he claimed his lover even more roughly.
       ----
       Sethus relaxed at Twyla's response, relieved he hadn't scared
       her off. There had been a few times past potential lovers had
       been out of on his different anatomy.
       Once Twyla had given her consent, Sethus closed the distance
       between them his lips gently kissing her. The arms wrapping
       around him, brought a soft moan before the kiss deepened
       further.
       His hands gently roamed over her back and into her lustrous
       black hair. His tongue gently prodded into her mouth to sweep in
       and tangle with her own.
       Soon his hands were gently caressing her bare skin and fondling
       her perfect breasts. Then he was easing her down on her back and
       working off her skirt. His clothes soon followed and he moved
       down covering her body with kisses and teasing touches.
       ----fin----
       A blush rushed across Drake's cheeks at Abaddon's suggestion of
       staying in the infirmary. "Suppose it wouldn't hurt to get
       checked over...." He murmured before his blush got *dark* at the
       angel boy calling him cutie.
       "I um... I'm Drake..." He answered before he found himself being
       examined. "What... is your names?" He questioned looking between
       the two.
       Soon, he was checked over and the teen, still quite starstruck
       by Abaddon, went off with the God King for a tour and to be
       given a room. He felt so special getting a personal tour, though
       it seemed the man's mates didn't exactly care for him. The naga
       even being hissy.
       After that, he had been left to settle in his new room. It
       didn't take him long to get what little he owned settled before
       he was wandering around the grounds of the ruins, knowing he
       would be given a job soon. He found himself excited over the
       prospect of having a real home and place.

       "I suppose we could take the time to move them to the rest of
       the hoard," Mordechai mused before they headed off. It didn't
       take long to get the undead with the others and Mordi was pulled
       away to Wills quarters, finding the place bland but at least it
       had a big bed.
       The necromancer found himself pushed onto the bed before he
       could even comment on the space, smirking at his lover as the
       man stripped them both and resecured Mordechai, this time to the
       bed, before the man was back to ramming into him. It had the man
       near yelling out moans of pleasure.
       "Oh gods yes! Fu.ck me nice and hard! Choke me please," he found
       himself demanding as he was used.

       The feeling of the water getting nice and chilly like an ice
       bath had Whiskey give a shiver, shaking for a few moments at the
       temptress drop but gave no complaint as he went about washing
       himself before smirking at Nevvern when the man requested help
       with his back. The wolfkin agreeing before he got behind the elf
       and began to rather sensually clean the man up. "Like?" He
       questioned dipping his hands lower.
       -----
       Twyla continued to kiss the man, to feel his hands fondling a
       bit giving a soft moan. When his hands went to her hips she
       wiggled a bit out of her skirt, to feel the man giving attention
       to her body- in ways she hadn’t had in a long time was clear.
       She bit her bottom lip feeling the anticipation. Her leg draped
       on his shoulder with a questioned smirk as she did so.
       “You’re quite good with that mouth…” she praised.”wonder what
       else it’s capable of..” she purred.
       ——
       Once finished showing the boy his room- he took his time
       explaining to his lover where the boy came from. He knew she was
       a bit displeased but given he was abandoned just could not let
       the kid be by himself. Given the kid was a tuner made it easy
       for a job, he would ask amon to give him something that best
       with his fire tuning that he saw- he wasn’t sure but he felt he
       could be good with making glass, or if not that train and work
       with wills as a guardsman.
       The man would get a bit wrapped up in his work at the table in
       his workshop that he had fashioned. The man was busy making a
       cradle for the baby that was coming. The man eager to see his
       mates faces when he showed him his work.
       — fin—
       "well hello there handsome Drake. I'm Angelus, and my mostly non
       speaking friend is Vain," Angelus introduced himself, ignoring
       the annoyed look that Vain shot him.
       "Is there a way I could get some clothes? I'm used to wearing a
       lot more than this,"
       "I can get you some better clothes," one of the healers spoke
       up.
       Once they'd been helped, fed, they were led to a room and told
       to rest. Angelus waited until he was left alone with Vain.
       "Let's go find the pretty dragon boy Drake." He suggested right
       away, not in the least bit wanting to sleep.
       Vain sighed and shook his head. "we should rest and then get out
       of here. Their leader seems a bit off."
       Angelus sighed. "You say that about everyone. Let's stay for a
       bit, it's too hard being on our own. Plus we can get to know
       Drake better," he suggested with a knowing grin. "You know you
       wanna. He is pretty hot,"
       Vain crossed his arms over his chest and grunted. "We do better
       without people bothering us. But if you don't mind being forced
       to work to stay, then fine."
       Angelus grinned and then grabbed Vain by the hand.
       "Let's go do some exploring, check out the place better. Maybe
       we'll run into Drakey again!," he half sang as he led Vain off.
       Vain could have easily stopped Angelus being much stronger, but
       let his friend lead him off.  He had a very hard time telling
       Angelus no. Mostly because he'd had feelings for the other teen
       for several years now.
       "There he is! Come on!" Angelus sang when he spied Drake. "Hello
       again cutie. Find anything cool around here to do?" Angelus
       asked, shooting a huge smile at Drake as he dropped Vain's hand.
       ----
       Wills slide his hands up Mordechai's chest before wrapping them
       around his lover's throat and choking him.
       Wills kept up a rather punishing pace for the next hour. Finally
       when they were both exhausted and blissed out, did he untie
       Mordechai and gently clean up his lover's body.
       Then he was wrapping himself around a Mordechai and dozing off
       for a little while.
       After a short rest, he stirred and let his hands wander over
       Mordechai's body. "you hungry? I can get you something if you'd
       like," he purred before marking the man's neck.
       -----
       Nevvern noticed how Whiskey shivered and felt a bit bad that he
       didn't have better control. It was something he knew he needed
       to work on.
       Nevvern let out a soft groan when Whiskey's hands slide over and
       down his back. He couldn't help but arch into the touch. The one
       word question had him chuckle a bit.
       "Very much so, can't you tell?" He flirted back. "You can go as
       low as you want," he added with a light gasp. "It's been a very
       long time since anyone's touched me. I very much miss it," he
       admitted. "It's had to have been almost 8 years now,"
       ----
       Sethus grinned, running his hand up the leg she'd draped over
       his shoulder and kissed up her inner thigh slowly. "You're about
       to find out," he murmured.
       His tongue swept over her slit and teased her clit for a good
       while before he slide his tongue inside to taste her and loosen
       her up a bit before he slid a finger in. He took his time
       pleasuring her as he readied her for more.
       "Twyla, do you want to start with one and build up to more?" He
       asked pulling back a bit to look up at her.
