       Lost and found

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The raging sands of the desert sandstorm were all Yarick could
       see when he briefly came to. He couldn't remember how he had
       gotten there. He felt like he had been in this spot before but
       didn't know how. Soon, the storm sapped the speedy fae's energy,
       damaging his wings when he finally colasped into the sand.
       —
       Grim, who was having a terrible time with the sand storm-
       managed to hunker down where he could. Memories were fragmented
       at most- all he knew was he had an urgency to find his tribe.
       Scar came to mind before he ended up eating more sand. Once it
       seemed to die down enough would he venture out. As he did so he
       happened upon a far guard. His head tilted as he reached down to
       touch the fae.. moving a few strands of hair out of his
       face.”…all the way out here..” he said and frowned. He didn’t
       know why- but he ended up scooping the short guy in his arms.
       The need to get them to safety was on his mind.. as he trudged
       he finally came up on a small oasis, enough for a few to
       survive.. a few trees and a small shallow place of water. Once
       he got yarick down.. did he grab his pack and begin to set up
       camp. Once done he got the guy and started stripping him, given
       it was getting hot quick and he couldn’t understand why the guy
       was dressed up this much. Once done he laid him on the furs and
       worked at healing his wings. The blood tuner was careful about
       it before heading out to make a fire and pretty much settling
       for camp.
       —-
       The fae guard woke with a start when he finally regained
       consciousness, finding himself stark naked, he quickly pulled
       one of the furs he was laying on around his waist to look around
       frantically. He didn't know where he was how he got there or
       where his clothes had gone. He knew in the sandstorm he had been
       wearing them!
       "Hello?" He questioned when he saw the berserker settled down
       within the campsite.
       ——
       Grim heard a voice as he was getting some water boiled to look
       back.”oh your awake! Feel alright there handsome?” He asked as
       he turned back to the water he was boiling to take it off to let
       it cool.
       ——
       A blush colored Yarick's cheeks at being called handsome.
       Something about the man at the fire feeling... familiar... but
       he couldn't figure out why.
       "I... I feel fine... what... happened to my clothes? Why am i
       naked? Did... we....?" He questioned as his cheeks got darker
       and darker.
       —-
       “Did we fuck? I dunno do you feel like you’ve been
       fucked?”teased grim. “All joking aside you were weighed down by
       gear- it’s getting hot- so made sense to strip you.” He said as
       he moved over to settle nearby.”unless you want to really…?” He
       flirted a little with a goofy grin.
       ——
       The blunt way Grim just spoke so casually about such things had
       Yarick blushing darker and darker, *especially* when the man
       openly flirted with him. "I've been rescued by a pervert..."
       Yarick said flatly with a heavy sigh. Even after deeming the man
       a pervert, he still found him quite handsome. In his own mind,
       he was ignoring the question because it didn't deserve the light
       of day, though it could easily be taken as not wanting to admit
       the truth of wanting his rescuer. "Can... I have my clothes
       back?"
       ——
       Grim chuckled in a deep tone, “what can I say.. you are
       handsome.” He said before he shifted to hear the question.”it’s
       in the tent.. by the flap- try to not do so many layers.. “ he
       told the man as he tested the water that was cooling off.
       —-
       The blush didnt faulted, deepening at the man's words, taking
       the fur with him as he went into the tent to redress, deciding
       to appease the berserker by only putting his pants on.
       He came out to look around and fully take in where he was at.
       "My... name is Yarick.... what's yours? I fear I... don't have
       any memories of how I got here... even before you found me.... I
       think I may not have all my memories..." He explained bluntly,
       finding no reason to hide such things.
       ——
       “Ya can ca me grim. Not sure either much of my memories.. I just
       gotta find my leader scar.” Said the beserker.”I think my tribe
       got killed .. before I joined.” He said to look back at the
       man.. he felt.. familiarity with the fae.”how does your wing
       feel? I healed it and tried to be careful.” Said the man.
       ——
       "Hm, strange... if we have both lost our memories... maybe we
       know each other... your... name sounds... so familiar...." He
       said before looking a little surprised about the question of his
       wings. The fae gave them a buzz feeling no pain. "Well, any
       damage done is gone, they feel perfectly fine. Thank you." He
       said, seeming far more at ease having decided they knew
       eachother.
       ——
       Grim blinked.”well honestly.. I feel like I’ve seen you around
       before.. maybe even fought ya… “ he paused.”are we mates?” Came
       out in such a tone that went right back to flirting. “And I’m
       glad.. I don’t do much healing type tuning- but somehow felt
       like I knew what I was doing for your wings..” he said.”usually
       for the earth- and the body you have to understand the injury..
       suprised I did..” he said blinking.
       ——
       A puzzled expression came to Yarick's face at how Grim jumped
       from fighting to mates and yet, it didn't sound wrong. "I..." a
       shocked expression coming to his eyes as he realized the man was
       right, in the back of his mind, faint memories of sharing
       kissing came to mind. "I... think you are right... that... would
       explain how you knew how to heal me..." He said shocked at the
       revelation.
       ——
       “Most likely.. hard to forget a body like yours..” he said as
       his face traveled up the man. “Honestly.. I want to lay you- but
       only if you’re ready..” he said his head tilting as a faint
       voice in his head kept telling him to take it slow.
       ——
       The blush didnt get any better at Grim's comment about his body,
       and even more so at wanting to lay with him. "Well... I'm... not
       exactly incline to reject just a... desire... e... especially if
       we are already mates...." Yarick said quite shy in talking about
       such things.
       ——
       Grims head went up and looked at yarick.”you sure .. about it?”
       Asked grim as he seemed excited clearly.. course when he got the
       confirmation did he not waste time in scooping the fae up and
       over his shoulder. He laid yarick down as his mouth touched the
       faes, his hands running down the bare chest.”If you want me to
       stop just say.” He told the man.”course… I’ll be gentle…” he
       purred.
       His lips trailed down the jawline of yarick to his neck, right
       to the collarbone to leave a mark as he got the man out of his
       pants again to give a gentle pump to the man.”did you receive or
       did I give? I felt I gave.. but I don’t think I took the other?”
       Said the man as his memories of bas were fragmented at most. It
       mixed in with images of yarick.. of the kissing and clear body
       contact to stroke him more.
       —— "I'm sure..." Yarick said before making a noise of surprise
       at how quickly he was swept off his feet and grumbled when he
       was thrown over the man's shoulder. The berserker seemed far
       more gentle when he laid the fae down. The man's kiss
       intoxicating. The hands on his bare skin tingling as warm
       feelings surfaced that had never been allowed to see the light
       of day. "I trust you..." the fae said softly, almost timidly.
       A soft moan escaped him at the lips on his body, trailing to his
       shoulder where Grim left a nice dark mark as he stripped Yarick.
       The hand on his member getting a quite loud moan out of him. He
       could barely focus on Grim's question as his hips bucked against
       the man's hand.
       "I-I don't remember... just... go with your instict...." He
       managed feeling more needy than he ever had before. Even in his
       faint memories he didn't recall it feeling like *this*. "If...
       you want... I could... take you after you... take me... best way
       to figure out what we prefered..." He suggested, his blush
       spreding through to his shoulders and chest.
       ——
       Grim heard yarick’s timid words to give a soft smile. The buck
       and the need was clear.  Grims instincts was telling him to take
       the man as he moved the man to an angle to wet his fingers. He
       was gentle as he worked at the fae underneath him, his tongue
       wetting it more.
       After hours of attention would he fill yarick slowly. A slow
       groan came out.”your so tight..” he moaned before their
       movements began as he let his hands roam the faes form, the
       movements more loving and gentle. The heavy breathing the
       passionate looks.. grim gave his praise.”you look stunning my
       mate..” he purred to the man underneath.
       ——
       The berserker had Yarick squirming at all the attention to his
       body. By the time Grim had the fae ready, he was about close to
       begging to be taken so when he felt his lover push deep inside
       he was gasping and clinging to his mate.
       The fae came completely unraveled under the loving gentle
       treatment he was getting from Grim. Even the way the man looked
       at him. He had no doubt, they were both deeply in love.
       "So do you... my love..." Yarick said as his blush returned. It
       felt so much more intimate to admit such things, but he knew in
       his heart it was true and his mate deserved to hear those words.
       ——
       He continued to move and enjoy yarick to the fullest.. only
       getting him to dance on the edge of completely coming undone
       till he got the man to cum with him. The sight of yarick as such
       a mess- felt like a dream come true.. like he waited this long
       to finally show how he felt. His hand drifted over the man’s
       heart. Somehow… this felt right - like he had a solid grounding
       moment that this man was committed to him.
       He still couldn’t help but feel something.. missing… the faint
       memories of good food came to mind as he laid to cuddle the man,
       and asked thoughtfully.”quick question… do you cook?” He asked.
       ——
       It felt like it would never end and then somehow got even better
       as Grim brought them both to their peak. Yarick making a mess of
       them both. When they eventually finished, Yar was more than
       happy to snuggle in Grim's embrace, beginning to doze off before
       hearing the man's question to raised an eyebrow.
       "Cook? Mean... I can if you want food poisoning...  I'm terrible
       at cooking... can't... you cook? In the magic house... can you
       do magic?" Yarick questioned, partly sitting up as he spoke, the
       feeling of something missing fully hitting him now.
       ——
       “..:I make possible food.. and I tune- I don’t magic…” said grim
       as he laid there. A faint memory of a smile and pampering came
       to mind.”I .. think we had a third mate..” he said trying to
       think.
       ——
       "I... think you are right..." Yarick said in agreement.
       Remembering a drow kissing him. "I... I think we are mated... to
       a drow.... he must be the magic user who can cook we both
       remember... wonder where he is... hope he isn't in trouble..."
       the fae said worried.
       ——
       “Hopefully with his memories more intact than ours.. though I
       feel I shouldn’t worry..” said grim.”think I’m the one to be
       worried about.” He said in the most blunt fashion. He settled to
       see a group of people passing by in the desert, seeing a rather
       large beastkin beserker.. his eyes traveled over the two masked
       guards to see atreaus and his head tilted at the familiarity.
       Course the shock of white hair of snow edging the attempts to
       remember.
       He couldn’t help but feel a familiarity to see a short red
       headed female fall, and get up. That one caused a memory… and
       the fact he did have a thing for both sex his eyes went down as
       he just.”why does that look familiar?”
       ——
       "You are definitely the one to worry about," Yarick said without
       even having to think about it, as if the response was automatic.
       His gaze followed Grim's to tilt his head as the red headed
       woman triggered memories to begin to fill his mind. It was
       overwhelming but he knew he knew her and they had been close.
       "I'm pretty sure we know the woman.... End? Yeah that sounds
       right." He said with a nod of his head.
       —-
       Grim nodded.”think I was turned down… granted it was fun..” he
       said with a laugh as a memory of being tossed a few times came
       to memory. Of course he noticed differences.. the girl while she
       did not look much different to her future self, seemed more
       vibrant and chill.  He watched bemused as she seemed to fall
       again and chuckled.”seems having a rough time.. maybe she can
       tell us what the hell happened.. but after we find bas.” He said
       and paused at the name he often used.
       ——
       It was strangly easy to agree with Grim as he spoke about the
       woman as they watched her struggle. When Grim said a name,
       Yarick looked at him with surprise. "Yes... though... Basdrun
       often has an easier time finding us... I wouldn't even know
       where to begin to look... I... I think our best move is to stay
       put..." He began before he remembered something and rushed over
       to the few belongings he had to dig out what looked like a
       neckless from one of his pockets before zipping to Grim, the
       whole movement taking less than a second for the speedy fae.
       "The last time I got lost in his house... he gave me this
       after..." He said as he put the pendent around his neck and
       pressed his thumb into the gem as it began to glow. "It is
       suppose to tell him where I am I think..." He explained with
       what little memory remained.
       —— As if summoned like a genie, Zuris poofed out of thin air in
       front of the two. The red skinned short demon broke into a wide
       toothy grin at seeing the both of them.
       "Thank the Godz!" He exclaimed his tail twitching excitedly
       like a cat's. "You are both unscathed! Master will be very
       pleased when he finds out you remembered to activate the
       necklace! Is there anything Zuris can do for you?" He questioned
       running a taloned hand through his black hair.
       "Oh...yes, your memories may not be completely intact, at least
       that was what Wren said. You were messing with one of her
       special tools and got brought here. Do you have anything left
       that Zuris could munch on? Haven't had much time for hunting
       while looking for you two," he chattered on, being much more
       personable now that he was out in the open.
       ——
       Grim heard the full name and looked at yarick. “your not wrong..
       “ he said before seeing the fae man going for his belongings to
       come back with a necklace.
       Grim chuckled.”more like another world.” He said as a fragmented
       one came back,
       Course when zuris came to view did he flush and look ready to
       attack before he heard what was next.
       After what looked like a mouthful of words did the guy just..
       hand over some dried meat.
       “Your one of his servants yes? Like… you the only one? And why
       can we see you?” He asked.”and don’t do that again- I almost
       throat punched you.”
       ——
       When, not Basdrun, appeared, Yarick looked rather disappointed.
       Raising an eyebrow at just how chatty the demon was. "Didn't
       even know they had a physical form.... unless.... we do... and
       we just don't remember..." Yarick said with a heavy sigh before
       tossing the neckless back towards his things causing it to land
       in the sand as he pulled on his clothes.
       "He might have stopped talking sooner if you did.... where is
       Bas? I thought that neckless connected to him..." He questioned
       in complaint.
       ——
       Zuris happily took the dried meat devouring it quickly with his
       razor sharp teeth. His head cocked to the side as Grim
       questioned if he was one of Basredun's servants. His eyes
       widened a bit, realizing that they didn't remember him at all.
       Though, he'd only shown himself a few times and with a different
       face. He immediately shifted to that firm, a green black haired
       more human skinned demon with red on black eyes. "Maybe this
       face is more recognizeable, yes?" He questioned. "Bas went north
       west, I was sent south and Avariste was sent north east. We were
       not sure where you might end up," he explained. "I felt you
       cause I was closest. We are all attuned to the necklace," he
       explained slowly.
       "I am sorry if I frightened you, I couldn't really help it. It's
       how Bas set up the necklace, to pull whoever was closest to
       protect his loved ones. I can't leave you, but I can send him a
       message of where we are,"
       ——

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Grim chuckled at yarick’s words. He did remember the man being
       awfully blunt and affirmed a lot of when he spoke like this. He
       turned to the demon to see a face that vaguely felt
       familiar.”maybe” he had retorted.
       When he heard more about who went where and their question did
       he make a serious look.
       “Well that’s all in the past send the message.. If we are in the
       past.. may have to figure a way back.” He said with a deep sigh.
       ——-
       "I doubt Basdrun came after us without a plan on how to get
       back... yes, send Bas a message of where we are... feels off
       without him around..." Yarick stated before his gaze went back
       to the group.
       "If Bas knows where we are.... then maybe we can go check out...
       what... past End? Looks like she is with her mates.... and a
       bunch of other people.... I thought she only had two..." He
       found himself questioning seeing the way the redhead had
       scrambled up onto the giant's shoulder as if for safety. He
       always recalled her being up high, but never with a man like
       that. A guy like that didn't exactly leave your memory easily.
       ——
       Zuris glanced between Grim and Yarick, a bit relieved that the
       tall one found him more familiar.
       He held back a chuckle when Grim mentioned finding away back and
       Yarick saying Basredun probably already had a plan.
       "He has a way back," he reassured both and followed the fae's
       gaze to the group at the oasis not very far off.
       "Ah, well...just make sure not to change too much. The more you
       affect here, the more changes will happen in the future, just so
       you are aware. It's why Wren was sent to our time, to fix some
       sort of off shoot timeline that got screwed with,"
       Zuris got up and began to quickly pack up their campsite.
       "Either way, we better move camp. I only have a little magic at
       my fingertips. I need strong ley lines to send off a message,"
       he explained.
       ——
       “You’re not wrong.. I’ve never seen a giant like that one-
       always assumed that was scar.” Said grim with a hint of his own
       confusion.
       “We won’t.. plus I always been curious of her younger years..
       granted looks wise she don’t look terribly different.. just less
       banged up?” He said as he began to walk. “So Zuris.. can you
       remain here for a length of time?” He questioned.
       ——
       "We won't change anything," Yarick assured before he went about
       using his speed to have camp packed up within seconds and in
       Zuris's arms. "There all packed up so now we can go," he said
       impatiently, eager to figure out who the giant was.
       —-
       Zuris was relieved that both Yarick and Grim weren't going to do
       anything that might cause worse problems.
       "I'm not going anywhere untill master Basredun arrives," he
       assured Grim hurriedly . "If something were to happen to you,
       I'd never forgive myself,"
       He was quite stunned and shocked at Yarick quickly gathering up
       the entire camp and shoving it all in his arms. He nearly fell
       backwards at the sudden weight in his arms. His tail moved out
       to brace himself and he chanted a spell, making everything poof
       into thin air.
       "Yes yes, let's get moving then. Once I find the right spot I
       can message master," Zuris said eagerly,  gifting them both a
       toothy grin. "Oh but first, best change to a face that blends in
       better,"
       After a few moments of concentration he shifted into a young
       teen human form, his tail and horns completely gone. The only
       thing that might give him away as more than human was his eyes
       flashing gold. Grims eyes went a bit wide seeing the man shift
       to a teen body. Impressed some at what he seen.”interesting- can
       all of bas servants have that ability?” He asked.
       Once they started to move.. did the travel seem a little long,
       though the conversation made it seem short. By the time they
       arrive to the oasis, kept his distance enough to sit and see the
       big giant hug scar.. the man looking way younger than he
       remembered..
       Course thanks to skolls booming voice did he catch the name to
       chuckle a bit.”seems like quite the ravager.. “ he said to watch
       end get right back up, to only get smacked. The actions of the
       big guy trying to help gave a bit of wide eye, and how he looked
       her over.. and the scoop up to his shoulder to carry the woman
       almost carefully made him wonder more. “I think.. we should go
       in.” He said as he felt an unnatural tug inside.. like he felt
       he was suppose to be there.
       ——
       It was always agony traveling at the slower pace of those
       around him if he were on his own he would have been there ages
       ago. He stayed with his lover when they finally arrived and
       watched with surprise what went down before she was back up on
       the giant's shoulder.
       "I... think you are right..." Yarick said, feeling his own odd
       sensation like that man was right.
       ——
       Zuris smiled up at Grim. "There are others like me, but they
       don't work for Master Basredun." He explained.
       He was only too happy to chatter and answer any questions Grim
       or Yarick had while they headed towards the oasis.
       He was only too happy to hold back, listening and taking in the
       peoples interactions. He wasn't all that used to being around so
       many people all at once. It was going to take time to get used
       to.
       He let out a sigh when the two suggested going in closer. "Go
       ahead, I'll just stay here for now." He said and moved to unload
       all the supplies he'd been carrying.
       ——
       Grim nodded as he walked.. seeing the group heading toward the
       tent.. and a young atreaus with Ezra to another. What he didn’t
       expect was a gasp.”yarick.” Said Khali recognizing the man who
       gotten up.”what are you doing here? Weren’t you on assignment to
       guide an ambassador to the kingdom of Audora?” He asked rather
       seriously.
       ——
       A look of surprise overtook Yarick when he heard Khali's voice.
       The man shocked to see him. He remembered vividly the assignment
       his friend spoke of.
       "I got done early. Told to come help you out," Yarick lied.
       ——
       “Help me out?…” Khali seemed to get a mild suspicious
       look.”what’s the assignment then?” He questioned as grim made
       slight panick before remembering a certain story from Ezra.”the
       trafficking one.” He mumbled to yarick.
       ——
       A scandalized look came to Yarick when Khali questioned him with
       a look of suspicion. "Hunting down that Trafficking ring. Given
       people are still disappearing, figure if they are outrunning
       you... I could catch you up." He answered. "Even if you don't
       want my help you aren't getting rid of me," he added as his arms
       crossed.
       ——
       Khali’s brow raised a bit.”ah.. fine.. just so you know you’ll
       be helping with Prince Adan none the less. “ said Khali- his
       tone fairly strict as the man yawned. “Get some rest- it’s going
       to be one hell of a catch up- “ said the man as he
       finished.”oh- and Ezra- try to give him space- his twin was
       found alive so he may be a bit sorted.” He told the fae.  His
       head moved to grim.”who’s this man?” He asked as the man just
       seemed to answer.”name be grim— this guy saved my life more than
       once so .. owe him.” He said to cross his arms.”besides being my
       mate.” He said rather proud of saying it.. earning Khali looking
       at yarick with an expression of… ‘really?’
       ——
       Hearing Grim tell Khali that they were mates and Khali's
       expression had Yarick turn *all kinds* of red. "It is a very
       recent development...." was all the fae could muster in answer.
       "Where is the prince?" He asked trying to avoid the subject.
       ——
       Zuris had just finished setting up the tent and stashed away the
       supplies inside when he heard voices rather close. He slowly
       came out, a wary look on his face and then froze seeing a group
       of three younger men. They looked like they'd just returned from
       a hunt and were laughing about something.
       "Why'd you put your tent way out here? Kind of not safe to be
       outside the camp," the tallest said eying him closely.
       "Must be new, come on, well help you get everything closer," a
       ruddy faced youth offered and moved to grab stuff.
       "No! I'm perfectly fine out here. My... guardians are just
       talking with someone in your camp. They.. they'll be back,"
       Zuris hurriedly tried to explain.
       "Still it's not safe to be by yourself. They should know that.
       Come on,you can come with us,"
       Zuris tried to protest again, but found himself overpowered and
       dragged into the busy bustling camp. The moment he spied Grim
       and Yarick he cried out for them.
       "Grim! Yarick! Help me! They won't let me go!"
       The trio looked rather chagrined when everyone turned to look at
       them and released Zuris.
       Zuris scrambled to hide behind Grim, grabbing onto the end of
       his shirt and used him as a shield.
       ——
       Grim chuckled as Khali’s face made a look. Before hearing the
       next set of words.”walked off with a small group.. seems he’s
       interested in one man..been catching him staring at the man.” He
       said with a sigh. “He’s among the safe people.. “ he started
       before his head turned he heard the teen call the two by name
       and made another look.”we adopted him.” From said on the spot
       for Khali to only look at yarick as if seeking confirmation.
       Course the teen clinging to grim like a father seemed to assert
       it to a point.”when did you decide to have kids?” He asked.
       ——
       "I didn't... Grim just found him and decided we have a kid..."
       Yarick said, clearly flustered at such a notion. He was not the
       type for anyone to think he was a 'kid' person. "Who is it you
       consider 'safe'? Have they been vetted? Or did them not killing
       him yet seem good enough?" Yarick questioned, deciding if he put
       a fire under Khali it would stop the man from asking more
       questions.
       ——
       Khali made more eyes at yarick’s admission and flustered
       behavior. “Well- a thunder is watching him.” He said his head
       turning a little in his half lie. “Someone you haven’t really
       met- changed her name recently- been in the desert for some
       time.” He said. The man not so readily to admit of the woman
       that was left in the desert. “Far as it seemed they are safe-we
       currently  are letting Adan rest. He mentioned an important ruin
       so there’s that.” He said and looked back.
       He felt the man was lying and hard. His mouth settled in a frown
       - to grin.”so why not join me on patrol you two, the boy can
       sleep with the others.” He said looking at the one clinging to
       grim.”can totally.. catch up…” he said with a smirk.
       ——
       Zuris felt a bit of slight relief when Grim claimed they'd
       adopted him. Though a part of him was feeling a bit annoyed. He
       was far older than both of them combined! If only he hadn't been
       the one stuck with the ravagers. He had no idea how they'd react
       to him being an actual demon.
       His eyes flicked between Khali and Yarick as they talked about
       Eden, Ezra and Adan. The news of a ruin was quite interesting to
       him.
       His eyes widened further at the one armed one suggesting he
       sleep with the other boys. "Hell no!" He protested, trying to
       make himself even smaller and pitiful looking than before.
       "Please don't leave me with them!" He pleaded desperately to
       Grim, this time wrapping his arms around Grim's middle. "They're
       strangers!  I don't trust them. No matter how nice they look!"
       From the way Zuris spoke, most of the ravagers got the idea that
       the teen must have suffered from some sort of abuse in the past.
       Thay was actually a mild version of what Zuris had gone through
       while living in the abyss. If it hadn't been for Basredun, he'd
       have endured the tortures and abuse for eternity.
       ——
       Seeing Khali's expression fluctuate, had Yarick's eyes narrowing
       in distrust. "Yes, we can go and catch up... but either the boy
       stays with Grim here, or the kid comes along. He has been
       through too much to just be left...." the fae said with an
       eyeroll. He and Khali both knew if the two got alone, none of
       their 'secrets' would hold up. The pair knew each other too
       well.
       ——
       Khali made another look at yarick’s demand. The stickler for
       rules fae was acting more off.”fine so be it..” said Khali.”or
       grim can stay and you come with- we can talk.. quietly. There’s
       just some things I don’t feel right exposing to people I don’t
       know “ he said now feeling highly suspicious.
       Grim made his face.”no thanks I’ll stick to my mate and kid will
       stick with us.” He shot back to see Khali sigh. “Well then don’t
       slow me down.” He shot back as he went to walk off, grim made
       another face.”this khali is different.. he’s way too uptight.”
       He mumbled seeing the man grumpily striving off.
       ——
       A sigh left Yarick when he friend walked away from them, sighing
       even heavier at his mate's words. "You and the kid keep up, I
       can't keep lying to Khali, he knows I'm not telling the trust."
       He warned Grim and the demon before using his speed to zip ahead
       and catch up to his old friend.
       ——
       Zuris finally let go of Grim when he and The others decided he
       could go along. He ignored the looks the teens gave him and
       rushed  to catch up to the men as quickly as he could.
       "S-sorry. I'm not really good with other people touching me," he
       explained to Grim and The others. "I know they meant well...but
       they should know better than to randomly grab people and drag
       them around,"
       Even if he had made a scene, he felt bad about doing it. He was
       far more used to being invisible and having privacy.
       ——
       Khali simply moved his head.”your fine in how you feel- but your
       going on a patrol where you can get randomly grabbed too-so no
       wandering off.” He said in a rather authoritative voice.  Grim
       contemplated on the idea of telling Khali the truth- just
       knowing he couldn’t reveal the future to the man- his mind was
       on how to do so when he heard Khali.”stay close zuris- I’ll make
       sure no one grabs you.” He told him as they began to walk.
       Once far enough did Khali fess up to  the fae.”Adan is with a
       woman and a few men- they may end up mates.. the woman is that
       girl - the daughter that supposedly died?.. she managed to
       live.” He said with a sigh, “I’m feeling a. Bit guilty having
       done that..“ he said with a sigh.”now your turn.. cause I know
       your not the type to tie yourself down currently- you were
       aiming to be general.” He said with a brow raised.
       ——
       When Khali finally fessed up, Yarick looked unsurprised as he
       listened, nodding his head in understanding as if he already
       knew these things. Then it was his turn to fess up.
       "I'm not the Yarick you know... I'm... from the future... I
       can't exactly tell you much... not that I exactly remember
       anything in the right order at the moment. My memories were
       jumbled... the kid... is not our adopted son... though... Grim
       is my mate.... I don't think I can tell you more than that..."
       Yarick confessed.
       ——
       Zuris held back from giving the one armed man an eye roll. If
       the Khaki knew what he really was, he probably wouldn't be quite
       as worried for him.
       "I'll stay close," he promised Grim, keeping up with the other's
       long strides.
       Of course he couldn't help but groan when Yarick told Khali the
       truth about being from the future.
       "Course I'm not theirs. I'm just an unwanted kid abandoned in
       the desert. They found me and I latched onto them. They're the
       first people to actually be nice to me," he muttered.
       ——
       Khali made a quiet look at the full fess up, his eyes ran up and
       down the fae in front of him- noting a few differences from the
       time he knew him before.  Of course Hearing zuris speak about
       being abandoned and what not for grim to answer.”found him in
       the future.. he’s a bit clingy.” He said.
       Khali folded his arm over his missing one. Seeming to think a
       while before deciding to believe the bunch.”I’ll believe you for
       now.” He said and chuckled.”you never were one to speak your
       feelings often- must of changed greatly over the years.” He said
       with a smirk.
       “So how did you end up here?” He asked a grim sighed.”I messed
       with shit I wasn’t supposed to stupidly and yarick went to stop
       me.” He said bluntly.
       “Mmm yup sounds like yarick alright- he was always correcting
       the recruits or trying to keep them from doing dumb stuff..”
       said the man.”and jumbled memories?… we can explore your issue
       further after tonight. After the patrol suggest some sleep- I’ll
       take the kid and you can have alone time..” teased the guard.
       —— "You are not unwanted Zuris, don't be so dramatic..." Yarick
       said with a heavy sigh as Grim gave an answer about the demon.
       "I'm still not one to talk about my feelings..." He said before
       Grim gave an explanation on what had happened. "Feel like all I
       do is keep idiots out of trouble... doesn't exactly change much
       over time..." He grumbled.
       Hearing Khali's comment about taking Zuris so he and Grim could
       have alone time earned a *dark* blush out of Yarick, who could
       only clear his throat at such suggestions. "T-thats not exactly
       nessisary..." He mumbled, clearly *very* flustered over the
       subject.
       He was more than happy to try and drop the subject and go about
       the patrol.
       ——
       Zuris couldn't help but shoot frustrated looks at Grim and
       Yarick. Yeah he was clingy, cause if they disappeared again on
       his watch, Bas would be pissed!
       He crossed his arms over his chest and let out a long sigh. He
       rolled his eyes a bit when Kali teased Yarick and said he'd take
       him off their hands.
       "I'm not five, I can take care of myself," he grumbled a bit.
       "Let's get this patrol over so I can cook us all dinner." He
       added.
       He would have already started if those kids from earlier hadn't
       pulled him away from their campsite.
       ——
       Khali  looked  at the teen.”mmhmm..“ treating the demon like a
       teenager that acted scared to acting grown. Little did he know
       who he truly was talking to.
       The hike of their patrol passed by a camp where it looked like
       adan was in mid smooch with snow, the one that had sent his hawk
       for him. Khali chuckled.”seems he’s getting a bit bolder.” He
       said to continue to walk.
       Of course Grim saw end practically wrapped in the man’s arms and
       looked like she was egging things on to grant a pause.
       Last he remembered Eden never went outside of the two men.. to
       see her being like that with skoll.. left his mind with
       questions. It seemed she was being careful with her blindfold as
       he remembered her telling him she was very particular with her
       eyes back in the day to continue to walk.”hey.. yarick.. maybe
       after this we can do a little of that..” he whispered to the fae
       to smirk a bit.
       ——
       It nearly seemed like Yarick was going to get his way in not
       talking about sex until they came across the camp that Snow,
       End, Adan and the stranger were. His eyes going wide and a blush
       crossing his cheeks at seeing his passionately she made out with
       the man. He *knew* for sure that this guy wasn't with them
       present day and it bothered him he didn't know about the man.
       It didn't help when Grim made a whispered comment of doing what
       they were when they were done with patrol. "Maybe if you behave
       yourself..." Yarick relented with an agitated wing buzz.
       ——
       Zuris was starting to wish he'd chosen a slightly older look.
       This human was starting to annoy him by treating him like a
       young kid that knew nothing. Perhaps his earlier tantrum hadn't
       been a good thing to do.
       He glanced up at Khali's comment and and  flushed  seeing the
       two couples making out. His face got even darker when he caught
       Grim's comment to Yarick and the fae's response.
       "I'll just make myself scarce," he muttered.
       ——
       Grim saw the man’s bothered look.”*there must be a reason… maybe
       once we get our heads on straight we can figure out if he’s not
       there.*” whispered from.
       Course when he heard if he behaved himself was met with the guy
       grinning the whole patrol.
       By the end of it, and when they got their meal cooked did he
       ask.”was I good?” He asked as his eyes ran over yarick wanting
       more of the man clearly.
       ——-
       The rest of patrol, Grim was *surprisingly* well behaved, and
       Yarick was blushing hard knowing the reason why too flustered to
       talk further. The patrol was quiet and it wasn't until they had
       settled to eat their dinner that Grim brought it up.
       "Y... yes Grim... you were good...." He admitted as his cheeks
       turned scarlet red as he tried to focus on eatting dinner.
       ——
       Zuris was quite happy when the patrol finally ended and headed
       back with Grim and Yarick to the tent he'd set up outside the
       ravager camp. He got to making a fire and cooked up a hearty
       stew with their supplies and fed the two men.
       Hearing the two talking and the looks they exchanged was more
       than enough to make it clear that they were going to get amorous
       soon enough.
       Zuris let out a sigh, his thoughts going to Avariste. The two
       had been slowly circling one another for the past several years,
       their intentions getting more and more intense. He hadn't been
       away from Bas or Avariste this long before and it felt terrible.
       "I'll just get these dishes cleaned up and let you two have the
       tent tonight. I'll sleep under the stars tonight," he insisted
       once they'd all eaten.
       He left quickly, knowing the two wouldn't object. He'd already
       erupted a protective barrier around the tent to keep creatures
       from bothering them.
       With his arms full of the dirty dishes, he headed closer to the
       body of water and found a bucket to get some to clean up
       everything. He was halfway through when heard footsteps and
       glanced up to find the teens from earlier along with two more
       had gathered around him.
       "Could you please just leave me alone?" He asked with a bit of
       sigh.
       "We just wanted to apologize," the tallest said, while the other
       two frowned.
       "Apology accepted, now can you step off?"
       "Why are you so dead set against making friends?" One of the new
       teens asked, looking Zuris over a bit suspiciously.
       "Why make friends when I'll just be leaving in a month or less?
       " Zuris said in a flat tone. "It's not like I'll ever see you
       again, so what's the point?"
       This reasoning seemed to shock the others. They shuffled a bit
       awkwardly.
       "That's a horrible way to go through life. Sure friendships
       don't last long, but it's better to have them and grow as a
       person, then to just push everyone away,"
       Zuris froze at the new voice and gulped as he turned to see
       Atreus was standing there.
       "yeah well, it's my life. I get to choose how I want to live it.
       After all the hellish things I've endured and gone through, I at
       least deserve to make my own choices," Zuris shot back and
       grabbed everything he'd brought and then hurried off. Having his
       head down, he didn't watch where he was going and ended up
       running straight into Scar's muscular body. He and the dishes he
       was carrying went flying back and Zuris fell sprawling into the
       sand with a rather loud thud.
       Zuris ground his teeth into his lip to keep from crying out in
       pain as he tried to stand up and failed. Inwardly he was cursing
       in demonic, wishing he could just poof away like Avariste could.
       ——
       Grim gave his grin as he got his answer.
       He heard zuris  mentioning about them getting the tent tonight,
       his brow raised a bit to chuckle.”let’s have fun before he gets
       back.. “ he purred as he slid his around around the fae and a
       soft kiss shared. His hands ran over the man’s back as he coaxed
       him inside the tent as clothing began to be stripped off one by
       one.. revealing flesh as he went.
       “Swear you look so good yarick…” he mused as his lips traced
       where ever it could making its way down. To sucking the man off.
       His hands massaged yarick’s thighs in a loving way as he
       asked.”want me to ride you this time?” With a toothy grin.
       ———
       Scar.. who was busy dealing with some teenagers in a different
       area was walking away with what would look like some paint- his
       face  painted with little things that wasn’t coming off- and was
       becoming a nightmare.
       As he walked he felt a body knock right out of him, his eyes
       going wide a bit to see the guy in the ground. “I’m sorry- that
       was my fault.” Said the doodled up scar as he held his hand out.
       He felt for the teen or assumed it and once he helped him up
       went to gather the dishes.”swear today is just one of those days
       yanno?” He said his painted face looking at zuris some.
       ——
       "Okay..." Yarick murmered as the blush only got worse as Grim
       rather romanticly guided him to the tent. The next thing the fae
       knew, Grim's hands were discarding clothes as the man's lips
       roamed his body before finding their place around Yarick's hard
       member.
       "Hmmm we can start out like that... but... I think I want you on
       your back at some point..." the fae murmered. His voice softer
       than usual as he attempted to be sexy, though was definitely
       quite demanding.
       —— Zuris' eyes widened when he saw the doodles on Scar's face.
       His pain was forgotten as an amused laugh emerged as he reached
       to take the other's hand and let the guy help him up.
       "Tell me about it," Zuris sighed and grabbed the other dishes he
       could find.
       He pursed his lips together when one the teens held out a plate
       and spoon he'd missed. He took it, with another sigh.
       Zuris saw the other teens come up, shooting odd looks at him. It
       seemed they just didn't get the idea that he didn't want to make
       friends with them.
       "Look, it's nothing personal. I'm bad luck okay? Everyone I've
       ever cared about died. So tell your friends it's safer to just
       stay away," he told the  teen closest.
       "You having trouble getting that paint off? Have you tried
       vinegar? It's worked for me before. It might stink, but it'll
       get the paint off. I can help you get it off if you'd like," he
       offered Scar.
       ——
       Grim gave a smile as  he went down to suck the man off, getting
       him slick before filling himself with yarick. “Damn..” he
       groaned a little as he began to move. His hips rolling as he
       looked as if dancing on top.. the feeling of the fae inside
       driving him.

       Scar heard the laughter to smile a bit. It fell as the words he
       heard the teen say to say.”you know.. no matter how old one
       gets.. we always are our own worst enemy.” He said as he took
       the dishes before hearing his question.”I’d love the help.. some
       teens thought they’d be funny and make me look like a clown.. “
       he said as he helped him get the dishes up and let zuris do his
       work.
       “Honestly you’re not that different from atreaus.. he still kind
       of pushed people away but not as much as he used to.” He said as
       he moved his face a bit. “Sorry..” he said.
       “But please don’t be too hard on the others- they’re simply
       friendly. Some are not all from one location- some been
       abandoned, left for dead.. some already dealt with the worst of
       luck and hand..” he told zuris.”so when they approach.. they are
       just wanting to be friendly to someone they think might want a
       friend to ease that ill of luck.” He said as he felt his face
       finished.
       “Honestly it took a demon to tell tre he was just fine.. that’s
       why he opened up just enough for me.. you don’t have to open
       everything.. just a bit can go a long way.” He said in a softer
       tone.
       ——
       Hot moans escaped Yarick as Grim pleasured him and got him wet
       enough before the man impaled himself, getting the fae to thrust
       up into the man as he danced atop of him. "You look incredible
       on top of me like this," he purred. The guard the fae always
       had, truly dropping for once in his life as he claimed the man,
       soon flipping them over and pinned the taller man under him
       before he *really* went to town. He began to pick up speed,
       driven by Grim's noises. Before long he was barely holding
       himself back from going as *fast* as he could go. The fae's hips
       a blur at this point as he claimed his mate.
       ——
       Grim grinned at the compliment as he rode the fae, to be
       suprised at the flip. His noises grew ever the louder . His
       hands gripped the furs as he cried out as he made a mess of
       himself.
       ——
       Bas waited for the group to leave with Zuris before moving
       closer to the tent.
       "Sounds like you two are enjoying yourselves, mind if this weary
       traveler joins you?" He asked, boldly lifting the flap to peer
       in on the sight of his lovers entertwined together.
       He removed his pack, letting it slide to the ground and opened
       his shirt so it showed off his entire chest as his eyes
       glittered with lust and pent up desire.
       ——
       When sounds came from the enterance of their tent, causing
       Yarick to pause his assault on Grim's body with his hips to look
       back before his eyes widened seeing Bas.
       "Basdurn..." He said with surprise, looking over the man's
       exposed chest. "Of course... been hoping you would show up
       eventually," Yarick said with a blush before his hips began to
       move inside of Grim again.
       ——
       Bas couldn't help but let his gaze take in the sexy sight of
       Yarick claiming Grim and licked his lips.
       "I've been worrying over the both of you since you disappeared,
       thank the gods you're both okay," Bas murmured.
       He grinned when Grim pulled him into the tent and leaned down to
       kiss the tattooed man deeply, as he worked off his shirt and
       then rid himself of his boots and clothes.
       "Been thinking of double teaming you for a long time Grim," he
       murmured as he pulled back.
       He moved to claim Yarick's mouth, letting out a pleased moan,
       his hand getting a grip of the fae's short hair as he hungrily
       devoured the other's mouth.
       ——
       "We are pretty good at staying alive," mused Yarick as his
       thrusting git more intense as he watched Bas completely disrobe.
       He was back to taking Grim as quickly as before, his wings
       glowing as they buzzed and his hips going at a near blur.
       He was insanely turned on by watching the two make out, only
       slowing down a little when Basdrun kissed him next, practically
       melting into the kiss as he claimed Grim. The way Bas devoured
       him felt like he had waited a *long* time for this. Given in the
       jumble of memories the drow was the one they had yet to claim,
       he had assumed this to be the reason and didn't give it any
       thought as he was giving in to all he desires and passions.
       ——
       Grim flushed at the idea of the two taking him. His mouth being
       covered as he cried in them at the power behind the thrusts that
       picked up. The sounds of the men filling the tent as grim
       groaned.”come on bassy lemme suck you off.” He said as he got
       himself turned to feel the railing as he went to suck the man
       off.
       ——
       "thank the gods for that," Bas remarked admiring Yarick's
       glowing wings as the fae claimed Grim at a rather break neck
       speed.  He was quite sure it had to feel insanely intense and
       planned on being in the receiving end when he got the chance.
       Bas let out a groan as the kiss with Yarick ended and moved to
       Grim, his white and yellow eyes glittering at his mate's
       suggestion.
       "Of course my mate, is love that," he purred and wound his hand
       around Grim's long hair to hold him in place.
       He let Grim start off and then started moving his hips,
       thrusting his hard cock deep into the man's mouth and throat.
       "Shall I give you a taste? I imagine you've been missing it," he
       purred, a look of pleasure filling his face.
       ——
       Seeing the display of Bas grabbing Grim by the hair before
       fucking the man's face had a lude look come to Yarick's eyes,
       seeing the expression on Bas's face making him shiver as he
       finally stopped holding back and *really* gave it to Grim for
       several moments before his wings moved out so the fae could move
       to lay on his back with Grim on top of him. "Ride me while Bas
       gets you ready to take us both," he demanded.
       ——
       Grim was on top of the fae as he heard his demand. “Oh god yes
       yarick!” He said to turn himself on the man slow before he would
       start moving on the man his hips starting to move.”god yarick I
       can’t get enough of you… and I’m about to get the both of you..”
       he moaned happily. His mouth taking the fae man’s deeply
       groaning into the kiss.
       ——
       Though Bas didn't quite get to giving Grim what he'd promised,
       seeing Yarick's reaction and even rougher treatment before
       though was quite the turn on. Once the two had moved into a
       different position, Bas moved behind Grim and took great care in
       adding in fingers to stretch Grim out even more.
       His mouth found Grim's neck, nibbling and marking the tattooed
       skin up up.
       "You two are so beautiful together," he murmured in a low purr.
       His hands went to Grim's waist as he slowly pressed and worked
       his way inside with Yarick. He stayed still for a few moments,
       letting Grim get used to the sensation before moving slowly in
       contrast with the fae's faster thrusts.
       He let out a pleased sound, his hands moving over his lovers'
       bodies.
       ——
       The fae gladly kissed his lover back as his hips continued their
       fevered movements, especially feeling Bas's fingers working
       their way inside. The only time he still, and it was only for a
       few moments, was when their mate finally pressed inside to try
       and let Grim adjust before Yarick continued his brutal pace.
       "Oh fuck yes! You feel so tight, and Bas you feel so good
       against me!" He moaned out against Grim's lips at the
       overwhelming sensations. "Fuck yes take it baby, take both of
       us!" He moaned out.
       ——
       Grim finally managed to adjust while taking the thrusts of
       yarick. He became a mess of noises- the sensations of the two
       men inside an experience he never thought he would have. He
       turned his head to kiss Bas best he could before turning back to
       kiss yarick more. His noises turned to cries. His hands gripped
       the furs, as his long raven hair slipped from his shoulder. He
       would ram back every so often as he was nearing his end.
       He came undone to grip the furs tightly- him cumming and making
       yarick a mess. His legs moved a little as he felt a fill, his
       mouth crashing into yaricks in a passionate way. Right then- he
       remembered.. yarick was.. or rather use to be a virgin.
