Way of the Beastmaster

It's cold. The sensation comes to you, slowly, like a trickle. It starts at your skin, and you can mildly feel it in the back of your mind, before it begins to creep deeper and deeper. It seems through into your muscles, and deeper to your skin. You soon begin to feel it in your bones, and its not pleasant. Slowly, you get up, and look around you. You're in a forest, and you appear to be naked. The wind is biting and the ground is wet and cold. It's night time, and the moon shines overhead. You're not sure how you got here. As you begin to move, you can see something underneath your body and your feet. You look down, and you can see shards of glass strewn all over the floor. Large shards lay in pieces, sprinkled lightly with the dust of of smaller pieces of glass. You lean forward and take one in your hand, looking down at a larger shard of glass. It doesn't appear to be glass at all, but some sort of one-way mirror. You turn it over in your hands, and you're greeted by your reflection. It seems off, but the entire thing is at least a little familiar to you. You can't even seem to remember your own name, but your face looks right. [[Continue.->Species]]

(set: $name to (prompt: "Before you begin, you decide on a name for yourself.", "Your name is..."))You've decided that your name is $name. Satisfied, you stare down at your own reflection, tracing the outline of your own features with a finger. You're young, that much is clear, and at the very least underage. You're definitely a boy, too. You face looks... (link: "Canine")[(set:$species to "Canine")(set:$an to "a")(set:$nose to "muzzle")(goto:"CC")] in nature, with a prominent snout and wet nose. Pairs of fangs sit behind thin lips, and two large ears stick out of your head. (link: "Feline")[(set:$species to "Feline")(set:$an to "a")(set:$nose to "nose")(goto:"CF")] in nature, with a short snout and small nose. Whiskers stick out of your head, and you have a pair of large ears. Your eyes are sharp and vigilant. (link: "Vulpine")[(set:$species to "Fox")(set:$an to "a")(set:$nose to "muzzle")(goto:"CV")] in nature. Much like a canine, you have a prominent muzzle, but you are leaner, more agile, with a rich bushy tail. (link: "Avian")[(set:$species to "Avian")(set:$an to "an")(set:$nose to "beak")(goto:"CA")] in nature, with a sharp, pronounced beak and feathers covering your primarily circular head. A tuft sits on top of your head, curling backwards to give your head some definition. (link: "Reptillian")[(set:$species to "Reptile")(set:$an to "a")(set:$nose to "snout")(goto:"CR")] in nature, with a prominent snout and nostrils. Your head is covered in scales, and two small horns poke out either side of your head. (link: "Draconic")[(set:$species to "Dragon")(set:$an to "a")(set:$nose to "snout")(goto:"CD")] in nature. This is visibly different from Reptiles, as you have protruding horns and a large pair of wings

Now that you're certain you're a Canine, you give your features a more complex look-over, despite the dingy little mirror in your hands. You have a rather pointed snout and a lovely wet note, and two large ears on your head that can hear all sounds. Your fur is delicately fluffy, albeit a bit damp from the current weather, and your feet both sport 4 toes on each. You have a large tail similar to that of a wolf. You're fairly confident in how you move, thankfully. You run a hand over your fur, and realise the colour is... (link:"A rich, natural mixture of brown and cream.")[(set:$skin to "fur")(set:$sc to "natural")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A dark, midnight black, from head to toe.")[(set:$skin to "fur")(set:$sc to "black")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A fluffy, pristine white.")[(set:$skin to "fur")(set:$sc to "white")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A dull mixture of grey.")[(set:$skin to "fur")(set:$sc to "grey")(goto:"Age")]

Now that you're certain you're a Feline, you give your features a more complex look-over, despite the dingy little mirror in your hands. You have a short, rounded 'snout', with a smaller nose sitting between your eyes. Your fur is a little fluffy and short, albeit a bit damp from the current weather, and you have the sudden urge to lick yourself to clean up. Your feet both sport 4 toes on each, and you have a large tail that remains all one singular width all the way down. As you move, you feel an aura of grace around you. You run a hand over your fur, and realise the colour is... (link:"A complex mixture of oranges and browns, which you assume to be ginger.")[(set:$skin to "fur")(set:$sc to "ginger")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A dark, midnight black, with a white belly, paws and hands.")[(set:$skin to "fur")(set:$sc to "black and white")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A fluffy, pristine white.")[(set:$skin to "fur")(set:$sc to "white")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A dull mixture of greys, mildly striped.")[(set:$skin to "fur")(set:$sc to "grey")(goto:"Age")]

Now that you're certain you're an Avian, you give your features a more complex look-over, despite the dingy little mirror in your hands. Your body is covered in feathers, from the rich plumage on your head, down to your fluffy chest and along to your hips. Even your arms have feathers on them, ending in 5 fingered hands on each. The feathers run to your knees, where they round off completely to reveal scaled legs, ending in 3-toed feet with talons, along with a back talon on your heel. You have a rounded, generic beak and beady eyes. You run a hand over your chest, and guess the colour to be... (link:"A vibrant, lovely cherry red.")[(set:$skin to "feathers")(set:$sc to "red")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A beautiful golden plumage, similar to that of a canary.")[(set:$skin to "feathers")(set:$sc to "gold")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A soft, gentle hue of blue skies.")[(set:$skin to "feathers")(set:$sc to "blue")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A rich, dark black, similar to that of a crow.")[(set:$skin to "feathers")(set:$sc to "black")(goto:"Age")]

Now that you're certain you're a Reptile, of sorts, you give your features a more complex look-over, despite the dingy little mirror in your hands. The first thing you notice is that your body is completely covered in scales, from your round head and pointed, rounded snout, all the way down your body. You have 5 fingers on each hand, including the thumb, and plantigrade feet that both end in 3 toes, each which sport a claw. You have a nice, thick tail that is long enough to touch the ground, and prehensile enough to curl around your leg. You give your features a look-over, and focus on the scales. You think the colour is... (link:"A dark mixture of greens, like a standard lizard.")[(set:$skin to "scales")(set:$sc to "green")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A bright white, though more like a light grey.")[(set:$skin to "scales")(set:$sc to "white")(goto:"Age")] (link:"Dark and ashen, with a hint of purple.")[(set:$skin to "scales")(set:$sc to "purple")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A grubby, dirty mixture of browns")[(set:$skin to "scales")(set:$sc to "brown")(goto:"Age")]

Now that you're certain you're a Dragon, of sorts, you give your features a more complex look-over, despite the dingy little mirror in your hands. Similar to a Reptile, you're covered in scales from head to toe. Your scales noticeably feel harder and more resillient then that of a standard reptile, and two wings are on your back. You stretch them out and they feel powerful, but definitely underdeveloped, or you at least assume so. In addition, you have two horns on your head that appear rather small. You have 5 fingers, and 3 toes. You give your hard scales a gentle stroke, and guess the colour to be... (link:"A dark black, with a light sheen on top.")[(set:$skin to "scales")(set:$sc to "black")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A muddy, dirty mixture of browns.")[(set:$skin to "scales")(set:$sc to "brown")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A rich, regal purple.")[(set:$skin to "scales")(set:$sc to "purple")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A dull mixture of greys.")[(set:$skin to "scales")(set:$sc to "grey")(goto:"Age")]

You're now at least fairly confident of your body, or at least the basics. You have $an $species, with $sc coloured $skin. You run a hand over your features and decide to look a little closer. You shuffle away from the mirror a little and try to examine yourself, guaging your height. You're not exactly an expert, but your face is definitely young, and you definitely feel full of spirit. You guess that you're about... (link:"10 years old.")[(set:$age to 10)(goto:"Body")] (link:"11 years old.")[(set:$age to 11)(goto:"Body")] (link:"12 years old.")[(set:$age to 12)(goto:"Body")] (link:"13 years old.")[(set:$age to 13)(goto:"Body")] (link:"14 years old.")[(set:$age to 14)(goto:"Body")] (link:"15 years old.")[(set:$age to 15)(goto:"Body")] (link:"16 years old.")[(set:$age to 16)(goto:"Body")]

You are $age years old. That seems about right. At least, you think so. With that, you run your hands over your $skin and down towards your hips, sliding along your body and guaging just exactly what kind of form you have. You wager you have... (link:"An incredibly lithe frame")[(set:$body to "lithe")(goto:"Height")], with bony hips. You can almost see your ribcage, and your stomach is slightly concave. (link:"A slim frame")[(set:$body to "slim")(goto:"Height")], light muscle mass and flat hips, with a slightly concave stomach and mass to your chest. (link:"A fairly average frame")[(set:$body to "average")(goto:"Height")], with flat, boyish hips and a flat stomach. You're as normal as normal can be. (link:"A toned, athletic frame")[(set:$body to "athletic")(goto:"Height")], with sligthlt rounded, manly hips. You can trace the outline of muscles along your chest and stomach, and your arms have some mass to them. (link:"A built, muscular frame")[(set:$body to "muscular")(goto:"Height")], which is mildy disturbing for a boy your age. You can outline the abs in your stomach and you can visibly flex some prominent biceps. (link:"A slightly flabby, chubby frame")[(set:$body to "chubby")(goto:"Height")], with definitive sag to your chest, forming a set of 'moobs', as well as a slightly pudgy gut that you can just about cradle in your hands.

You have a relatively $body frame. Your run your hands over it and feel moderately satisfied about it, before you guage yourself in the mirror again. You're not good with numbers, but you hazard a guess at your height, thinking that you're about... (link:"3 and a half foot tall.")[(set:$h to 3.5)(goto:"Hair")] (link:"4 foot tall.")[(set:$h to 4)(goto:"Hair")] (link:"4 and a half foot tall.")[(set:$h to 4.5)(goto:"Hair")] (link:"5 foot tall.")[(set:$h to 5)(goto:"Hair")] (if:$age is 10 or 11)[You cannot be 5 and a half foot at your age.](else:)[(link:"5 and a half foot tall.")[(set:$h to 5.5)(goto:"Hair")]] (if:$age is 10 or 11)[You cannot be 6 foot at your age.](else:)[(link:"6 foot tall.")[(set:$h to 6)(goto:"Hair")]]

You have $ec eyes, and you stare deep into them for a moment. For a split second, you could have sworn you saw them glow green, but you shake it off, setting the mirror back down. It was inevitable that your hands would drift lower down, until your fingers were dabbling around with your nethers. You were a budding young boy, and it was only natural for you to be curious about, well, your dick. You part your legs and shuffle towards the mirror, angling it with a hand to inspect yourself. You look to have... (link:"A humanoid cock")[(set:$cock to "humanoid")(set:$fcock to "flaccid cock")(set:$cocke to "humanoid")(goto:"DickL")], with a prominent glans and a fixed diameted all the way to the base. It also seems you could have (if:$species is "Canine")[(link:"a knotted member, with sheath.")[(set:$cock to "canine")(set:$cocke to "knot")(set:$fcock to "sheath")(goto:"DickL")]](elseif:$species is "Fox")[(link:"a knotted member, with sheath.")[(set:$cock to "fox")(set:$fcock to "sheath"(set:$cocke to "knot"))(goto:"DickL")]](elseif:$species is "Feline")[(link:"a barbed member, with sheath.")[(set:$cock to "feline")(set:$cocke to "barbs")(set:$fcock to "sheath")(goto:"DickL")]](elseif:$species is "Avian")[(link:"a cloaca, with a phallus.")[(set:$cock to "avian")(set:$cocke to "none")(set:$fcock to "cloaca")(goto:"DickL")]](elseif:$species is "Reptile")[(link:"a ridged, exotic member, with a slit.")[(set:$cock to "reptillian")(set:$cocke to "none")(set:$fcock to "slit")(goto:"DickL")]](elseif:$species is "Dragon")[(link:"an exotic, ribbed cock, with knot and slit.")[(set:$cock to "dragon")(set:$cocke to "knot")(set:$fcock to "slit")(goto:"DickL")]]

You stare down at your $fcock, and slowly slide your fingers along it, feeling a pleasure building up within your loins. It makes your entire body tingle and a shudder runs up your spine as you begin to get aroused. You're soon full mast, and your hand wraps around your cock, firmly groping and rubbing, before you examine it in the mirror. You have a $cock member, and by all accounts, you think it's impressive. You wager it's about... (link:"3 inches long.")[(set:$dl to 3)(goto:"CharacterFinish")] (link:"4 inches long.")[(set:$dl to 4)(goto:"CharacterFinish")] (link:"5 inches long.")[(set:$dl to 5)(goto:"CharacterFinish")] (link:"6 inches long.")[(set:$dl to 6)(goto:"CharacterFinish")]

You are $h foot tall. You assume that's right, but then again, you don't have anything to measure yourself by. You run a hand up to your head and slide your hand over it. You appear to have... (link:"Short length hair.")[(set:$hl to "short")(goto:"HairC")] (link:"Medium length hair.")[(set:$hl to "medium")(goto:"HairC")] (link:"Long length hair.")[(set:$hl to "long")(goto:"HairC")] (link:"Incredibly Long length hair.")[(set:$hl to "very long")(goto:"HairC")] (link:"Nothing, except your $skin.")[(set:$hl to $skin)(set:$hc to $skin)(goto:"Eye")]

You have $hl length hair, and your run your hands through it, satisfied at how nice it feels. You manage to make out the colour through the mirror, and guess it to be... (link:"A sandy blone.")[(set:$hc to "sandy blonde")(goto:"Eye")] (link:"A dark brown.")[(set:$hc to "dark brown")(goto:"Eye")] (link:"A jet black.")[(set:$hc to "black")(goto:"Eye")] (link:"A bright, platinum blonde, bordering on white.")[(set:$hc to "white")(goto:"Eye")] (link:"A vibrant red.")[(set:$hc to "red")(goto:"Eye")]

Satisfied in your entirety, you now look over yourself one more time. Your name is $name. You are $an $species, and you are $age years old, and pretty underage. You have $sc $skin, and you are $h foot tall, with beautiful $ec eyes. You have (if:$hl is $skin)[$skin atop your head.](else:)[$hc $hl length hair.] Your body is relatively $body in form, and between your legs is a nice $fcock, which becomes a tasty $dl inch, $cock member. You're fairly confident at this point that this is you, and you finally pluck up the courage to get to your feet. Slowly, you look around you. [[Continue.->Intro2]]

The forest is cold and silent, but for the rustling of the leaves in the wind. You can feel the chill on your $skin, and your desperately need to seek shelter before your freeze to death. You slowly step around the shards of glass and head in a random direction, hoping you might find some sort of civilisation. When trying to recall where you were last, nothing comes to mind, as if you entire life before now has been wiped from memory. Nothing seems to trigger any sort of memory recovery: everything around you seems to unfamiliar. As you walk, you hear a rustling in the bushes. You're not sure what it is: it could be a predator, it could be an ally seeking to help you. Either way, you're scared. But, before you can even think about what to do, the rustling grows louder, and under the moonlight, a figure appears. It's a quadraped, for sure, and you manage to see what it is exactly when it finally steps under the moonlight. It's a Wolf, or at least very similar. It's a dog, at the very last, with pristine white fur, and deep blue eyes that seem to house a great deal of wisdom. You watch as it opens it's mouth.(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black) ) |Kami>["Hello."] (link:"Say hello in return.")[(set:$introchoice to 1)(goto:"Intro3")] (link:"Scream in terror.")[(set:$introchoice to 2)(goto:"Intro3")]

(if:$introchoice is 1)[You cautiously greet the talking Wolf, and it bows it's head to you in a gesture of respect. You don't know whether to reach forward and pet it, or back off.](elseif:$introchoice is 2)[The Wolf visibly winches as your scream at the top of your lungs, and it's ears fall flat to it's head. A low growl escapes it's throat and it shakes it's head. ["Christ, control yourself,"]<Kami| It snaps out rather bluntly, and you snap your mouth shut. |Kami>["...Anyway..."]] The Wolf takes a small bow, and you're sort of inclined to do the same, but you're too confused to return it. The creature doesn't seem to mind. ["My apologies if I might have startled you, Master. I couldn't find you after the awakening."]<Kami| Wait, did it just call you Master? You quizzically ask what it's referring to, and it tilts it's head at you, confused as to how, and why, you don't seem to know. |kami>["There must have been a problem with the Awakening,"] It guessed, before stepping slightly closer. ["No matter. My name is Kami, your loyal Servant for as long as you hold the mantle of Magister."]<Kami| So many questions were swimming through your mind. You don't even know where to begin.(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black) ) [["Magister?"->Intro3c1]] [["You're my Servant?"->Intro3c2]] [["Where am I?"->Intro3c3]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black) )You have no idea what a 'Magister' is, but you're hoping the Dog can provide some sort of explanation. Once you ask, he seems eager to answer. |Kami>["A Magister, sir. Your title grants you dominion over all animals, and the perks that come with it."] That just left you with more questions to ask, but the Wolf bows his head and continues. |Kami>["All animals, great and small, have to bow to your instructions. You can consider it like mind control if you like, sire. However, the larger the creature, the harder it is to get them to obey. In addition, this power comes at a cost: they all wish to fornicate with you, Master."] Fornicate? You vaguely realise the word means sex, but why on earth would animals want to have sex with you? Before you can ask, he answers it again. |Kami>["The blessing is your control over them, Master, but the curse is the pheramones and Magic you release as a result. It has an effect on animals, making them want you."] This is wrong. You're just a child. Kami seems to notice your distress, and lowers his head, apologetic. You still have questions, but you're also frightened. This Dog seems nice. Maybe he can help. [["You're my Servant?"->Intro3c2]] [["Where am I?"->Intro3c3]] [["I need to get out of here."->Intro3c4]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black) )You don't seem to understand why, or how, this Wolf has come to serve you, nor why it can talk. There are many questions about your 'guide' that are left unanswered, so you start small. You ask why it has to serve you. |Kami>["Once you were blessed as a Magister, the Great Forest God, Pan, knew you would need a guide to help you explore your gifts and get through life. He knew you would have trouble. He assigned me to you and gifted me the power of speech, so that I may be able to help you on your journey."] You're not quite sure what this 'journey' is that he's speaking of, but you can vaguely understand why someone would give you a guide, after chucking you in the middle of nowhere. You ask the Wolf if he was always able to speak. |Kami>["All animals, great and small, share some level of intelligence, Master. I have served Pan for many years, but I was never allowed to speak until recently, shortly after your Awakening."] You quickly ask what the Awakening was, before you forget. |Kami>["You went through a ritual with Pan, Master, where you were joined in holy coitus with our great lord. In exchange, he awakened your body to the latent abilities of a Magister. This is your birthright, Sire."] Somehow, you don't feel any better. [["Magister?"->Intro3c1]] [["Where am I?"->Intro3c3]] [["I need to get out of here."->Intro3c4]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black) )You consider it a good idea to ask where on Earth you are. |Kami>["You are in the Forest of Madness, Master, approximately 3 miles south of the Reliquim's Capital, and the Silver Spire] Reliquim. You remember the name, and the knowledge of your world comes back to you, slowly. Reliquim is the Western continent on an oval-shaped, vast island known as Orbath. Adplagam lies to the East, and in the center of the continent is a vast ocean of water, where the Council of Wizards is rumored to reside. That much you can remember, but you have no idea where you heralded from, nor how you got here, or who your parents are. |Kami>["If we continue North, we should make it to the Capital in record time, Master. It might be a good idea that we go soon: you do appear rather pale."] That much was obvious: you were cold and you were hungry. You desperately needed to get moving. Somehow, you don't feel too embarrassed about being naked in front of Kami, presumably because you're both not wearing clothes. However, there are still more questions that Kami might be able to answer. [["Magister?"->Intro3c1]] [["You're my Servant?"->Intro3c2]] [["Okay, let's get moving."->Intro3c4]]

It's high time you finally got moving. The cold was beginning to set in too much, and your teeth were starting to chatter. Kami is content to lead the way, and you're happy for him to do so. It's nice to have someone guiding you. You feel as thought you might have never made it to civilisation on your own. As you walk, you can't help but drift your eyes to Kami's backside. Part of you knows it's wrong, but your eyes continued to linger on his rump, watching his tail sway this way and that. As he hops over small branches and roots, you occasionally catch a glimpse of his tight asshole. Otherwise, you're often greeted to the sight of his plump, swaying balls that waft to and fro with each trot. Up ahead, you can see the trees beginning to thin, and that can only mean you're getting closer to the edge of the Forest. It looks like you're going to make it out, and you're glad. Both you and Kami wander past the trees and finally step out next to what seems to be a trade route. You can see a beaten path right in front of you, travelling from the left to the right, or perhaps the other way around. Past that are nothing but rolling plains for what seems to be miles. [[Regardless, you keep moving.->Intro4]]

You've been walking for what feels like hours. Kami seems to show no signs of tiring, but your strength is beginning to fail you. You're not sure if you can keep going. Just when you're about to give up, you see something in the distance. It looks like a light, or maybe even a fire. You're filled with a renewed vigor, and you clamber forwards, hoping to find something, any sort of shelter. Kami seems unsure, and falls back a little as you get close. You wander towards the light and notice that it's a campfire, and you hope there might be a traveller who could lend you some clothes. As you get closer, you spot people: not one, but many. They seem to be a band of people, and you start to falter. Are they friend or foe? "Well, what do we have here? What is it, $an $species?" One of the men chuckles loudly, and takes a step forward. He seems to be dressed in armor, and there a sword in a scabbard at his hip. That was enough to give you some cause for concern, let nevermind the tone. "Guys. Leave the boy be, can't you see he's scared?" Someone spoke up, and the group parted to reveal a relatively well-built, armored man. He seemed to be an Avian, and his feathers were slightly dirty. He stepped forward towards you and crouched down. [["Who are you?"->Intro5]]

"Killian. I'm the leader of these arseholes." "I resent that, Boss." Someone spoke up from the back, and there was a murmur of laughter. "Pay them no mind. They clearly didn't realise you were in trouble. You look cold: do you need some clothes?" Shakily, you nod. You're not sure if you can trust this 'Killian', but he seems nice enough. The group stiffen up and draw their weapons rather suddenly, and you're not sure why at first. You quickly realise it's because of Kami, who must have finally caught up to you. "...This Wolf. Is it yours?" One of the men demanded, and you quickly nod in response. They relax a little. Clearly, the idea of a domesticated Wolf is not uncommon amongst them. Killian gestures to you, and you step forwards with him, moving through the crowd of people. You can feel some of them staring a little too closely at you, and you try your best to cover yourself up. "I don't have much your size, but this should do." Killian hands you a small cloth tunic, with underwear, and a loose linen jacket. It should be enough to keep you warm. [[Continue->Intro6]]

You had no idea why this man was being so nice, but you were definitely thankful for it. With the tunic and jacket on, you were already beginning to warm up a little, and you rubbed your hands together near the heat of the fire. Killian took a seat from not too far away and leant back, staring over at you. "You seem relatively capable for a boy your age." Though how he could say that, you weren't certain. You hadn't displayed any prowess, but maybe it was because of Kami, who sat silently beside you. "You're free to join us. Camp with us...whatever, at least for the night. You can be away by the morning, if you wish." You tell him you'll think it over, as it seems like a wise choice. You can't say with any certainty whether it's a good idea to be palling around with bandits, especially with the 'destiny' that Kami apparently seems to think you have. Everyone's beginning to bed time, but some and patrolling to make sure they aren't ambushed. You move to sit on your own, and Kami moves to sit beside you. You're tired, but you feel as if you couldn't sleep well, even if you tried. But, maybe you should. [[Talk to Kami.->Kami1]] [[Get some sleep.->Intro7]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black) )You turn to Kami, and he tilts his head toward you. He doesn't say a word, and you begin to think you've gone insane, wondering whether he can speak at all. |Kami>["How can I help, Master?"] And then, he finally speaks. You blow a small sigh of relief, and think of what to ask him. [["Should we trust Killian?"->Kami1c1]] [["Can other people hear you speak?"->Kami1c2]] [["What are my 'perks'? How do I use them?"->Kami1c3]] [[Maybe you should just go to sleep.->Intro7]]

It's time to finally get some sleep. You slowly yawn and lay your body down, sighing and looking up at the night sky. You roll onto your side, facing the Wolf, who stares at you with his ocean blue eyes. Slowly, Kami settles down, rolling onto his side and pointing his back towards you. Instinctively, you spoon the dog, putting an arm around him and cuddling into his fur. You can feel his naturally quick heartbeat, and his fur feels so delicately smooth to the fur. The warmth is soothing. If anything, it puts your mind at ease, at least for a while. You feel sleep eventually take you. Your dreams are riddled with a variety of questions, ones you can't answer or refuse to answer. None of it makes sense, and by the time you wake up, you can't remember any of it. The sun is the first thing you see, and you're thankfully not blinded. It's definitely a lot warmer than it was last night, and it's incredibly summery: the ground is dry under your feet and the heat on your skin is soothing. As you wake, you notice a number of things. Firstly, you're certain something had been touching you in the night: your jacket is slightly looser on your body then you remember, but nothing else is amiss. Kami sits up the minute you pull away from him, and it seems a number of bandits are packing up. "Glad to see you're awake. We're heading out." Killian appears to your left, a smile on his beak. [["Where?"->Intro8]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black) )You're unsure about Killian, and the second you ask Kami, he seems to share the same fears. |Kami>["I can't pertain to know much about people, Master $name, but Bandits and Marauders have never been kind folk. He might seem nice, but what's to say there is no ulterior motive?"] Kami was right, of course, and that made the decision all the more harder. Would Killian really let you go after you woke up in the morning, or would you awake to find yourself in chains? The fear of the unknown was eating away at you. You'd just have to bite the bullet and see what happens. [["Can other people hear you speak?"->Kami1c2]] [["What are my 'perks'? How do I use them?"->Kami1c3]] [[Maybe you should just go to sleep.->Intro7]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black) )Kami was awfully silent amongst the bandits. Now you're worried that Kami is all in your head, and he's simply talking into your mind. You think it best to ask if you're going nuts. |Kami>["Of course not, Sire. But...a talking Wolf, amongst Bandits? They'd either skin me for good luck, or sell me to the nearest bazaar."] Kami was definitely a lot smarter than you. You quickly apologise, and Kami slides his nose along your side encouragingly. [["Should we trust Killian?"->Kami1c1]] [["What are my 'perks'? How do I use them?"->Kami1c3]] [[Maybe you should just go to sleep.->Intro7]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black) )You remember that Kami mentioned some sort of special power you had over Animals, but you had no idea how to invoke this special kind of magic. You ask Kami about it, and he bows his head. |Kami>["I'm not privy to the intricate details...but apparently, you will learn them over time, Master. That is what our blessed Lord intended."] Well, that was vague. Regardless, you press a bit further, wondering if you can do any other kind of magic. |Kami>["All people versed in the Arcane arts, no matter what specialty, are able to do at least the most basic magical acts. You should be able to do the same, Master."] That was comforting. Maybe you should shoot a fireball in a couple of years time.

"To Holstein. The capital. You really don't know that much, do you? What, were you raised by a farmhand?" Killian asked with a little teasing tone, and he tell by your expression that it was a touchy subject. "Forget I asked. Holstein is Reliquim's capital and home to the Silver Spire, the headquarters of the Iron Empire and it's military corps." He explained loosely. You wonder why bandits wouldn't want to be near the military, and you hesitantly ask. Killian seems amused. "We're not Bandits. We're mercenaries for hire," He assured him. "We travel to the capital for work. Now, uh...my men aren't comfortable with a kid in our troop. It seems only fair to escort you to the capital, but you're on your own after that." That seemed fair enough to you. [[To the Capital.->Intro9]]

The travel was relatively short, in the grand scheme of things. Moving as a pack of people wasn't all that bad, and you can't help but feel oddly safe amongst all these people. You're sure if anyone attacked, you'd be aided. 3 miles wasn't as long as you had first thought, and the sun still beamed overhead as you rounded the hill and saw the capital in sight. The view was enough to make your jaw drop. A long, winding path lead down to a walled city that seemed incredibly large, and bang in the center was a tall, spire, thin and rounded all the way up to the very top. You watch in awe as a massive Gryphon flies overhead and circles around to the capital, landing on the Spire's tip. You could just make it out from the distance you were at. "Impressive, if it not? This is Holstein, the busiest city in all of Orbath." Killian walked beside you, gesturing to the grand city and patting you on the shoulder. "I'm sure you'll have a great life, kid." He assured him, and you and the party of mercenaries slowly make your way down to the capital. Once you reach the gate, the guards step aside and let you in without questioning you, and Kami seems to be allowed to follow, too. [[Continue.->Intro10]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black) )"This is where we part ways." Killian almost looks sad to see you go, but you were happy to have to help, for what it was worth. You apologised to him, and said you had nothing to give him in thanks. He seemed to not mind. "I'll consider your happy, innocent smile my reward enough. We were coming this way anyway, and who else was going to fit in those clothes?" He tugged at your tunic for a moment, before hearing his men calling for him. "Also, here. Some coins, for your travels." Killian deposited a small bag of coins in your hand, and you thank him. With a small salute, Killian wanders back towards his party, and you watch him go. ["Well. Maybe there are good people in the world."]<Kami| Kami remarks beside you, and you smile down at the Wolf, before looking around you. You're standing in a massive, expansive courtyard, the hub for adventurers and travellers alike. A beautiful marble fountain sits in the center that must span at least 10 metres in diameter, with seating all the way around the outside. Various mercenaries sit along the rim, talking to one-another, and occasionally sparring. It seems busy, but you're certain you can find some answers, as well as a life here.

You're thinking the same thing, too: why on Earth did you come here? Standing across from you is the counter, and you could presumably book a night at the Inn if you had the coin for it. Not too far from that on the left hand side is a large bounty board, strewn with fliers and pieces of parchment, presumably filled with quests that require an undertaking.

Stalls line the path left and right, with an island of them in the middle, and the rest around the outside, next to residential houses. All of them are selling a variety of things, from clothes and magical items, to herbs and remedies. You notice rather quickly that a lot of people don't seem to buy much, and instead browse. That seems to invoke a certain desperation in the sellers that are sitting behind the stalls. Further down, at the far end of the marketplace, is a small path leading off to a small seating area, and it appears that that's the main grounds for travelling peddlers, as you can spot numerous people with massive rucksacks selling to people who go there.

Despite every fibre of your being warning you to stay away, you wander past the Square and make your way towards it.] Reluctantly, Kami follows you, though it's clear he's not enthused. The path to the Spire was simple. It was a single, straight cobblestone path from the Square straight to the Spire's drawbridge. Presumably, this is for ease of access for dignitaries to make their way to the Spire without any twisting, winding roads, but strategists would have pointed out that how flawed this was, making them open to attack. The closer you get, the more you notice guards. They seem to be posted at every other building you pass, getting more and more frequent as you near the spire. Eventually, the drawbridge is in sight, and you stop to stare up at the looming Spire overhead. "The fuck do you think you're doing?" You're startled by a guard glaring down at you, spear in hand. You try to stammer out some sort of explanation, but he doesn't care. "Get the fuck out of here." He speaks simply, with a great deal of intimidation, stepping forwards with his grip tightening on his spear. You don't need telling twice. You turn and run, and Kami quickly follows you.

From that was the base of the fountain, engraved with tiny cherubs in a repeating pattern all the way around.

He slowly tilts his head and stares up at you with his ocean blue eyes. |Kami>["Are you sure, Master $name?"] After a moment of silence, you nod. It was obvious your mind and body were conflicting with one-another, but you were still tantalised by the idea of Kami taking you for himself. Slowly, the Wolf nods, and jerks his head, gesturing for you to get on all fours. Nervously, you do so. You've never done this sort of thing before, but you're admittedly rather eager to try it. You plant your hands onto the hard wooden floor and spread your legs a little, raising up your tail and exposing yourself completely. Kami doesn't need any sort of encouragment, and you quickly feel the warmth and the heat of his fur against your $skin. It's pleasant to know that Kami must be attracted to you: at least now you know he's not doing it just because you told him. Kami thrust with every animalistic intention he could muster, and it became clear just how much of a feral animal he was: his hips slid right up to your rear end as he wildly humped the air, his canine cock slipping from it's sheath in it's smallest form, and smearing watery pre-cum around your backside, searching for your entrance. Once he found it, he suddenly pushed. |Kami>["Mmh. Sorry, Master $name...I only have 2 gears."] You vaguely understand what he's referring to, but you're more focused on the rather warm, heated feeling of a cock swelling within your backside. Once Kami was deep within you, the blood rapidly pumped to his member with each thrust, until he was at full hardness in a matter of seconds. Each thrust tugged his sheath back enough to expose his fat knot, and you can feel him beginning to piston in and out of you with only one setting: fast, and hard.

He seemed mildly excited at the prospect, and why shouldn't he be? |Kami>["Of course, Master."] With a sheepish grin, you get on all fours, as the two of you have done in the past. It took mere seconds, before you felt the heat of Kami's body up against your back, and you sigh gently when you begin to feel his hips wildly sliding against your rump. You can feel his sheath butting against yout $skin. After a moment, you start to feel the watery pre-cum sliding against your backside, and it doesn't take Kami long to find his mark. He thrusts into you, and you feel his tapered, canine cock swell and pulse with blood, getting harder and thicker inside you. The Wolf begins to wildly thrust and buck, his pistoning thrusts aided by his own wet lubricant. You don't even feel discomfort anymore: just the gentle, pleasant feeling of Kami inside you. The two of you, as one. His knot begins to bump and bounce off of your behind, and you groan in pure bliss, your $cock member already sported a thick half-chub and oozing pre-cum. |Kami>["Master...you feel so warm inside."] You beg Kami to thrust into your harder, and he tries his best, his front paws locked around your torso and his hips wildly slamming into your backside.

You could feel Kami squeezing as much as he could around your member, and the pressure in your loins was beginning to reach it's peak. You shudder and groan in utter ecstasy, your knees wobbling from the exertion and your mouth hanging agape. You can feel it coming.

You begin to feel a pressure building within your loins, and you know that you're getting close. You grunt and shudder with the exertion of your thrusts as your cock pulses powerfully in the Wolf's tight insides. You can feel every clench, every squeeze of his member, and it's enough to send you over the edge. You push yourself in as far as you're able to go, burying all of your inches into the Wolf.

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black))(if:$FuckedKamiBottom is false)[Kami was drilling into you like a machine, and you were thankful that the Wolf produced a great deal of natural lubricant. You could feel everything: the way his hips slammed into yours and the way his knot bounced rapidly off of your underage backside, the thumping heartbeat in his chest that pressed down against your back, even the vigorous panting that came from his mouth. Best of all was the pleasure you felt with each thrust. That canine cock must be working wonders inside you, for every thrust forwards shot a spark of pleasure up your back admist a sea of discomfort, making this all the more worthwhile. The pleasure aroused your loins, and your $cock cock was already at full mast, throbbing and pulsing, oozing tiny droplets of pre-cum all over the floor. |Kami>["Master...I can't hold out much longer. I can feel it...please, you need to tell me!"] Kami needed orders from you, needed the confirmation that he was allowed to cum. The cruel part of you wanted to say no and make him suffer, but it was clouded by your aching desire to feel him against you. The words escaped your lips: 'Breed me'. It was all the motivation Kami needed. You heard him snort through his nose and pant with a renewed vigor, and his hips slammed into you with an unbridled passion. You tried your best to relax yourself, somehow realising his end goal was to shove that thick, bulbous knot inside you. How you had that kind of sexual knowledge, you don't know, nor do you care. With a number of desperate humps, you feel your asshole stretching, and the knot forces it's way inside you. |Kami>["$name..."] Kami weakly groans out your name as his knot swells against your sphincter, and you clamp down with every fibre of your being. You suddenly feel it: a hot, jetting warmth that spreads throughout your stomach and up your spine, makng your entire body tingle with a sensation you've never felt before. You're not sure what it is, but you don't want it to end. |Kami>["Master...we'll be like this for a while. Perhaps it's a good idea to sleep when you are finished?"] Kami was back to his professional self rather quickly, but his cock still pumped and spurted his load into your backside.

It sent shivers of pleasure up your spine like you've never felt before. |Kami>["Master...Master...!"] Kami groaned and moaned your name with all the desire and lust he could conjure, and in response, you squeeze your rear end down against his cock. The sudden tightness and pleasure sends him into a near-frenzy as his hips thrust and pound with a renewed vigor, his knot rapidly bouncing and slapping against your backside. The room was filled with the wet, sloppy sounds of your sex, that anyone would have considered taboo if they spotted you, but you didn't care. You and Kami were one, and it was always going to stay that way. Your eyes roll up to the sky as you feel a sickening pleasure wash over you, and a pressure building up within you. You know what this is, and you want it. The words quickly escape your mouth, before it's too late. 'Breed me'. Kami answered your prayers with gusto, and you relax your muscles to accept him.

Dinus shook his head. "He was rambling about how he'd been sexually assaulted by someone. Some god. Oh, uh-- I mean, you know. The god had touched his no-no place." Dinus wasn't good with Child talk, but you nod, understanding completely, to a degree. He continues, after flashing a nervous grin. "Well, we went to get rid of him: he was completely high on magic and didn't seem to know what he was doing. Then, out of nowhere, all the forst creatures came to his aid. His eyes were glowing...green. Actual green. These animals attacked up. Ripped us to shreds. I managed to get in close and chop off the warlock's head, but the rest of them? They didn't make it. The animals had torn them to bits." You shudder at the thought. You realise, quite quickly, that this rogue warlock must have been chosen to be a Magister by the Forest God, Pan, and it clearly didn't end well for him. You feel a chill up your spine: would you end up like that person? "Anyway," The Bear had continued talking, and you listened in. "After that, I couldn't do it anymore. I set up this little Inn in Holstein about 5 years ago, and I've been running it ever since." "Rarely do I get to see scamps like you," He ruffled your head, before his expression turned grim, putting a hand on your shoulder. "Kid. //please//. Don't be an adventurer. That kind of thing...it changes you." You take his advice into account with a nod, and he pulls you in for a quick hug. He feels nice and warm...you're glad he confided in you.

Kami offers some encouragement by sliding his nose against your side. |Kami>["You may not be able to make friends with them, but I'll always be your friend, Master."] Whilst the sentiment was touching, you'd barely known Kami that long, and a talking Wolf wasn't going to help you that much in life other than to give advice. "Hey, kid." You look up to see a man staring down at you. He's a canine, and dressed in obvious combat gear: a metal chestplate sits across his chest, and he wears a set of pants with an iron belt over them. He squats down on his heels, grinning at you with sharp, green eyes. His fur is a stunning blue-grey. "This yours?" He pointed towards the Wolf, and slowly, you nod. He seems pleased.

He seems alarmed and turns his head back to you for a moment, before his eyes light up with delight. |Kami>["It may appear stereotypical, but Wolves and Dogs really do enjoy getting pet."] You're definitely quite sure of that: you can see Kami's tail wagging to and fro. You give him a few more vigorous pets as he looks around the square, occasionally reaching up to scratching around his ear, which he seems to enjoy. "Hey Mister! Can I pet your doggy?" You're surprised, and snap your head up to see a child, around 10 years old, begging to pet your dog. They appear to be a young girl, giving their rather peasant-like dress, and they appear to be a feline. She has a messy amount of golden hair tumbling down her shoulders, and her ears poke out from her head. Her fur is a mixture of yellow and white. You agree to let her pet your 'doggy'. "Thanks!" She vigorously pets Kami over the head, and he tilts his head this way and that to recieve them, his tail wagging faster and faster. She seems pleased, giggling madly. "Thanks mister. Here!"

This Wyatt man seems like a kind fellow. He's tall, at least over 6 foot, and his bulging muscles tell you that he's seen a lot of fights.

Wyatt certainly seems to know what he's talking about, and you ask him about Holstein, and what you need to know to survive. "Oh, new around here too?" He seems to understand your need for knowledge. "Holstein can be a little treacherous. You're fine around this plaza, but try to avoid alleys and back streets. They're prone to house the, uh...//unruly// people of the city." You understand.

"The Silver Spire?" Wyatt rubs his chin, thinking about what might be the best way to put it. "People have said it was built a long, long time ago by mages, but I dunno if that's true or not," He began. "But now, the Iron Empire commands all it's units from there. The King, **Adalrico Dominus**, resides at the top of the Spire, guarded by god knows how many people." That seemed relatively simple enough, but why was it so special? You had to ask. "I don't know, honestly. But...you see how it always seems to shine? It's got to mean something, I'm sure." Wyatt pointed out, and you had to agree with him. It's practically blinding when the sun hit it, and was still well illuminated by the moonlight at night. It was strange. Regardless, you were pleased with the information.

Wyatt seemed like a nice fellow. It'd be nice to know where he came from, even if it wasn't that important. "Me?" Wyatt blinked at you when you asked him the question, surprised. "I, well, uh..." He seemed embarrassed at talking about himself. Maybe he had something to hide. Or, maybe, you just caught him off guard. "I'm just a mercenary. Been doing odd jobs since I was 16. Before that? I was a farmhand in Trystvale, just north of here. If my parents would see me now, they'd probably flip." You got the impression that Wyatt was a lot younger than you thought. Just in case, you asked how old he was. "Haha, no filter on you, huh kid?" The Canine grinned toothily in your direction. "I'm 22." That made sense, but it was kind of sad to hear that he hadn't seen his parents for 6 years. Then again, he could have. You didn't ask: talking about parents more and more made you yearn for your own, wherever they were.

Wyatt's face darkened a little when you asked about money, but it wasn't for what you thought. "There are a few people around here who would more than happily ask you to do some //unspeakable// things for coin, kid. Make sure you tell them no." You're momentarily startled by the sudden change in tone, but Wyatt lightened up rather quickly. His change in mood left you caught off-guard. "Besides that, ask around! There's a couple of people around here always seeking errand boys or something else. I wouldn't suggest the bounty board, even if the money's good: you're a bit too young to go on quests, slaying Ogres and Dragons. Leave that to the grown ups." You resented that, but Wyatt was also right: you have no combat experience, and your 'Magister' powers weren't exactly up to scratch. Running errands seemed easy enough, anyway.

Try not to venture too close to the Silver Spire. Spies from Adplagam have been trying to get in there for a while and the guards are itching to beat someone to a pulp on the grounds of being a spy. I don't think they've above abusing a kid." Wyatt rubbed his chin as he tried to think of anything else, but nothing was coming to mind. "Oh, night time," He snapped his fingers. "Try to stay indoors. All the weird people lurk at night. It's creepy." You get the gist, and thank him for the information.

"Yeah...that's it." $Ratman holds the vial with one hand as he spreads his cloak apart a little, and you catch a glimpse of his erect, humanoid cock in the light. He's vigorously stroking his erection as your urinate into the vial. You want to stop, but you're almost done now. Slowly, the trickle begins to die down, and you hear the Rat desperately groans in pleasure. His cock pulses and throbs, and you can see strands of cum shooting from the end of his dick in the moonlight, and it just barely misses your foot by an inch. He sighs in pleasure and slides his hand away, eventually taking the vial away from your $fcock and corking it, sliding it into his cloak. "Thanks, kid." He grins, and you get the impression this was for more than just the urine. He delves into his pocket and pulls out the coins, dropping them into your hand.

You make your way through the crowd, with Kami behind you, and eventually stop beside a wide stand strewn with magical items. "Am, come forth, come forth!"

She sticks a forked tongue out at you as she gestures to her wares. Curiously, you look down at them. The table is strewn with a variety of different tools and implements. Honestly, you have no idea what some of them are, or what they do, but she seems fairly adamant in their quality. As you look over them, she rambles continually about how they are the finest goods around. Each one is labelled with a price in gold.

You make your way through the crowd of people and manage to worm your way through to a stall that seems to be selling herbal ingredients and potions. "Ah, hello young man! Looking for something to renew your vigor?" A slimly built, but clearly quite old Feline smiled at you over her sagging bust, and you glance down at what she has avaiable. The stall is packed with potions that seem to sport a variety of different colours, and a number of bundled leaves and flowers laid next to one-another. There's so much here that you're not even sure what to begin with. "Maybe you need something to impress the ladies, hmm? You look about...$age?"

You make your way towards the far back of the Marketplace, with Kami bringing up the rear, and you move in between the stalls towards the small meeting place for the Travelling Peddlers. There are a number of people here looking to buy wares, and a great many looking to sell, too. Nearly every single one of them has a rather massive backpack that they've emptied out onto a small blanket. (if:$PeddlerV is false)[You're not even sure where to begin, or who to talk to, and Kami sits beside you with a similar expression on his face. The pair of you are lost. "Yo! Hey there!" A voice called to you, and you turned to see a Raccoon hunched over a blanket filled with various goods that primarily seemed to be weapons, of varying types. "Uh, forgive me," He began as you approached. "You seem to be lacking a weapon. It's not good to wander around without one: could turn nasty, you see! I have some for sale. You should buy one." You look over the weapons and glance to Kami, who looks at you with an unrecognisable gaze. You're not sure if you should, but it might be wise to defend yourself in the event your powers don't work to your liking. None of these weapons seem fitting for you, however; they are all too large or unwieldly for you to comfortably use. Something draws your eye though, amongst the pile of weaponry. It's calling to you. [[Continue.->MarkPed2]]](elseif:$inv contains "Magister's Dirk")[You spot the Peddler from before, and he waves at you.

He seems to recognise you, and gestures to the wares below him. "Take your pick, kid. You'll need a weapon to protect yourself." Once again, your eye is drawn to the dagger sitting amongst the pile, and Kami openly whines in your ear. [[Coninue.->MarkPed2]]]

You remember the Flower that that strange girl gave you. If this person is a seller of magical items, then they surely know, or are able to detect, magical items. Anxiously, you take the unwilting flower from your pocket and show it to the woman, asking her what it is. She stares at the flower for a moment, before her gaze snaps to you. "May I?" She holds out a hand, and you hand it to her. She openly turns it over in her hands, studying the flower, before she hands it back to you moments later. At least she's not trying to steal it. "A flower that never wilts," She hissed out, her slitted eyes blinking. "An expensive reagent in alchemy, because they can only be created by Wizards who are pure of heart, which are...rare." She cackles at her own joke, before clearing her throat, leaning forwards over the stall a little. You can see the stall creak under her weight. "100 gold for it." You're surprised it's so expensive, but it also holds a little bit of sentimental value, both for you and for Kami.

Against Kami's better judgement, and take a swig of the 'Endowment Potion', that's said to impress the ladies and give you better sexual prowess. The potion tastes like urine. It has the texture of urine. For a moment, you're pretty sure you just bought a vial of pee, and drank it. Nothing happens for what feels like 10 seconds. Then, your entire body hums, and not in a good way. You feel as if every fibre of your being is being torn apart, and you keel over, falling to the floor. Kami is alarmed and barks out, seeking some sort of aid, hoping someome might come to the rescue. You're greeted to the sight of large metal boots, before everything fades out... [[Continue.->EPFuck2]]

(if:$PeddlerV is false)[You ask the peddler what it is, and he appears rather surprised at your question, digging out within the pile of weaponry and holding it up to you. The weapon is small, like a dagger. The blade it only 4 inches in length and remarkably thin, from base to it's tip. The tip curves slightly into a point on both sides. The blade itself is hidden in it's scabbard, which is engraved with pictures of wolves and woodland creatures. The hilt is fat and banded, and the scabbard sports two rings to attach it to a belt. "You know, in all the years I've had this, no-one has ever picked it out." The peddler seems amazed that you even chose it, and he unsheaths the blade for you to it. It's pristine and silver, practically blinding you at the right angle. You can see that the thin blade itself is engraved too, with a similar design. Suddenly, you feel a butting against your leg. Kami is nosing desperately into your side, whining and patting his front paws against the ground. He seems incredibly worked up, and it's no coincidence that he's doing this now. The Dagger must be important. "Wow, your Dog's pretty lively, huh? Must need a walk." The peddler was completely blind to what Kami actually was, before he set the dagger down. "This thing? Pff, no-one's wanted it for years, but part of me didn't want to let it go. For you? 10 gold, that's all I ask." [[Purchase the Dagger.->MarkPed22]] [[Decline.->MarkPed23]]](elseif:$PeddlerV is true)[Once again, the Raccoon takes the blade out from the pile and turns it over in his hand. Just like last time, you feel physically drawn to the blade, and you can't help but feel that you need it, somehow. It's like it's calling to you. Kami can't seem to sit still next to you, desperate to tell you to purchase it, but knowing better than to openly speak in public and be seen for what he is. "Your dog clearly wants you to have this. Same as before, kid. 10 gold, and it's yours." [[Purchase the Dagger.->MarkPed22]] [[Decline.->MarkPed23]]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black))You agree to purchase to dagger, much to Kami's excitement, who taps his front paws into the ground and snorts through his nose.

In return, he gives you the dagger.(set:$coin to $coin - 10)(set:$inv to $inv + (a:"Magister's Dirk")) As soon as the blade reaches your hands, you feel a sudden rush of power that makes you dizzy. The entire world suddenly seems heightened: You can hear birds on the rooftops, the murmuring of voices from far away, the sweat dripping down a person's head. Kami nudges into your side and you're brought back to reality. You look down at him, and your eyes bulge at the sight. He is surrounding in an otherworldly glow, pristine and white, like a symbol of purity. Kami seems pleased with your expression, but you're afraid. You quickly thank the Raccoon and turn, heading back out towards the Marketplace, and through back towards the hub, your head reeling from the sudden surge of power. |Kami>["Master. $name. Concentrate."] Kami's words bring you back, and you duck into a more secure location so the two of you can talk. You drop the dagger to the floor for the moment, and the power fades, bringing you back to your senses. |Kami>["Master, this blade is a Magister's Dirk. They are a thrusting dagger, designed specifically for people like you. They heighten your abilities.

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black))You quitely decline the purchase of the dagger, and Kami whines in earnest beside you.

You agree and turn, walking away. |Kami>["That dagger is more important than you know, Master. Please, when you can, purchase it from the peddler.

You didn't even dream whilst you were out. Everything was a blank, like someone had wiped you completely clean. It was odd...scary, even. It felt like an eternity. You finally feel your muscles coming back to you, slowly, and you begin to wake up. You feel pain, excrutiating pain unlike anything you've ever felt before. You're in the Inn, the Cock and Pig, at least you think so. The ceiling looks wooden, and when you turn your head, you can see the Square from the window. You hear a whimper to your left, and turn your head to see Kami laying next to you. He looks positively relieved that you're safe, and he buries his head up against your chest, his tail wagging to and fro. "He's not left your side since you fell unconscious."

He sighs out.] "Just...rest as long as you need to, okay? Free of charge. I don't want you dying on me, kid. Can't have that on my conscience." He heads towards the door now that you're awake, and you weakly slide a hand over Kami's back, stroking him. "I don't want you out of that bed until you're well, you hear me?" Dinus points a finger at you, before he heads out, closing the door behind him. Kami doesn't say a word, and he doesn't need to. You know never to do that again.(set:$inv to $inv - (a:"Endowment Potion")) [[Get up and leave.->Hub]]

Against your better judgement, you decide that wandering around the back streets of Holstein might turn up something interesting, for once. As you're making your way around, you spot a small alleyway, and decide to sneak into it. Kami lets out a snort, glancing around as he pads along beside you, clearly a little uneasy in such narrow areas, where both you and he could be easily ambushed. The alleyway is dim, but the light from the streets on either side at least illuminates it a little for you, though the hanging balconies and exaggerated roofs overhead shield all light from above. You spot a hooded a figure, squatting down in the alley, and you step a little closer, a bit anxious. (if:$RatV is false)[The figure turns it's head towards you, and you're greeted to the sight a relatively dirty-looking Ratman. His fur looks to be a mixture of grey and blue, but it looks a bit shabby and dirty. The cloak covers the majority of his body, but it's quite clearly tucked up, revealing that his lower half is entirely naked. He has one hand on his dick, urinating right in the middle of the alleyway. You're mildly disgusted. "Oh," He snorts and rubs his nose as the remnants of his urination die down, and he slowly gets to his feet, making sure to step around the puddle of pee. He covers himself up again. "Uh...Nothin' to see here, kid. Get goin'." He gestured for you to leave, and you're glad to, feeling a bit grossed out. Ratman are notorious for their treachery, and you don't want to be tricked. [[Leave.->Hub]]](elseif:$Ratman is "Misfit")[You quickly realise it's just Misfit, urinating once again in the alleyway. He seems to do that every time you come around. Maybe it's just a coincidence. "Oh, hey kid." He straightens himself back up and openly wagged his humanoid member out in the open, much to Kami's disapproval. The Wolf turns away from it and snorts through his nose. You can tell the Wolf is a little annoyed by Misfit, and maybe a little jealous. You can tell Misfit seems a little more open since you've gotten to know him. "Sorry that your dog doesn't love my //dick//," Misfit grinned cheekily, licking his lips. "You up for some fun today?" [[Agree.->MisfitSS1]] [[Decline and leave.->Hub]]](elseif:$RatV is true)[The figure turns it's head towards you, and you're greeted to the sight of a familiar face. It's the Ratman who you've met before. You never got his name, but he's offered you coin in exchange for Urine quite a number of times. "Oh." He seems surprised to see you here. The Ratman is squatting over, urinating directly onto the ground, with his cloak hitched up to reveal his entire lower body. You have the decency not to stare, and after a few moments, he straightens himself up, stepping around the puddle and leaning against the wall. "I, uh...I don't like to conduct business during the day." The Ratman pointed out nervously, rubbing the back of his head, and you quickly point out that you were just exploring. "Oh...so whadya want?" [[Ask the Rat about himself.->MisfitI]] [[Say goodbye and leave.->Hub]]]

You know the age difference turns him on, and you don't mind it too much.] Slowly, he reaches his hands up to your shoulders, and he pushes you down. You oblige, though you lack any kind of padding on your knees. They scrape slightly against the cobblestones, and you watch as Misfit parts his cloak. Just as you expected, Misfit is completely naked, his body covered in that same mottled grey-blue fur, from his lithe stomach and hips, all the way up to his flat chest. He waggles his half-hard, humanoid member right in front of your mouth. You've seen it before in the moonlight, but it was a lot easier to see in the daytime. You feel a hand on the back of your head, and you're pushed towards his member, as Kami snorted and trots off to the entrance of the Alley, not even wanting to listen to the sounds of your mouth being violated. You make a note to apologise to him later. Slowly, you wrap your $species lips around the head of Misfit's Rat cock, and he groans under his breath as he feels your small tongue squirming around his head. It tastes surprisingly clean, despite the sweaty smell wafting through your nostrils. You're not an expert on tasting dick, but you're fairly certain that this is what it should taste like. "That's it, kid..." Misfit murmurs, pushing your head down onto his cock a little more, groaning in delight. You can feel his member pulsing in your mouth, sliding against the back of your throat and grazing across the roof of your mouth. Slowly, you pull your head ack and slip it down again, beginning on on a steady rhythm. You move slowly as first, but as the Rat's groans grow more intense, you begin to speed up. Soon, he begins to thrust against you, his balls swaying back and forth and lightly bumping with your chin as his member pushes against the back of your throat. If you had to wager, Misfit must be about 6 inches or so: you didn't have much more of the cock left to take. "Hah...so c-close...!" Misfit squeaked out like a Mouse, and he pushed your head down onto his cock. You felt the thick pulsing of his muscled appendage, and the salty taste of cum bubbles at the back of your throat. You try your best to swallow, and he sighs in delight, stroking the $skin on your head and stroking your cheek occasionally. "Mmh. That was amazing kid. Thanks." He pulls back and slides his cock from your mouth. You wipe your chin and get to your feet, dusting yourself off. "I'll see you around. Come back anytime." He winked at you, and you take a step back, meeting up with Kami and heading out. (set:$MisfitF to true) [[Leave.->Hub]]

You ask Dinus if you can hang out with him for a while, and he doesn't seem to mind in the slightest. He lifts up the hinged section of the counter on the left, and lets you in behind the counter. Seeing behind the counter is rather intruging. You're greeted to the sight of various glasses on shelves behind the counter, as well as a short stool, that Dinus presumably sits on when he starts to get tired. There doesn't seem to be any other spaces, so you take a seat. Dinus doesn't really know how to hang out with a kid, and that much becomes plainly obvious as you sit there. There is very little conversation between the two of you as you serve customers. Dinus doesn't wear a lot, considering his job: apart from his brown apron, he only sports a loose shirt, and even loose pants tied around his manly hips. One of the key things you notice is his swaying package beneath that clothing: you have a firm idea of how sizeable it is, simply by judging how much it seems to sag and sway with each small movement. You feel your mouth go dry at the sight of it. Kami gives you a look, and he sees your face. He doesn't seem to approve or disapprove, and just in case, he steps out towards the main Inn's interior again, giving you some privacy. (link:"Grope Dinus' package.")[(set:$DSS1c to 1)(goto:"DinusSS2")] (link:"Leave him be.")[(set:$DSS1c to 2)(goto:"DinusSS2")]

(if:$DSS1c is 1)[You can't resist reaching out a hand, and Dinus doesn't notice until it's too late. Your reach out your small hand, and run it over his clothed pants, openly groping his package underneath the counter. You can feel him visibly tense, and there's even a weak pulsing emanating form his loins that you can feel right up to your fingertips. Whatever's going on down there, it's getting bigger and thicker. Slowly, your slide your hand down and cup around the balls underneath and feel just how heavy they are. "...Enjoying yourself, $name?" You look up to see Dinus staring down at you with a rather unreadable look on his face, but you guess that it's a mixture between amusement, surprise, arousal, and discomfort. He's likely dealing with some very conflicting feelings, considering you are $age years old, and underage. However, he doesn't tell you to stop, and you slowly pull at the string holding his pants up. They unceremonsiouly drop to the floor and you're greeted to the sight of his package: a thick, pulsing uncut humanoid cock throbs up against his apron, his heavy-set furry balls lightly swinging back and forth. Dinus spreads his legs a little and looks straight ahead, erving customers. He wants more.

(if:$DSS2c is 1)[Despite the Bear's impressive member, your eyes are drawn to his hind quarters, and you slip from your stool to get a better look. You crawl across the floor and sit behind the bear, staring up at his toned backside. Despite Dinus giving up the life of an adventurer, it was clear he hadn't lost most of his figure, and your hands drift up to his furry behind. He tenses up immediately, but doesn't complain. In fact, he leans over a little and exposes his behind a little bit more, just for you. Your eyes briefly trail to down to his tail and swinging nut sack, before your stretch his rear end apart and examine closer. You stare intently between his cheeks, and practically go dry at the mouth when you spot his taut, tight pucker nestled between all that flesh. The more that you pull his cheeks apart, the more you see it tighten and twitch, and you can tell that Dinus is feeling a little nervous. Despite that, you can't help yourself.

You know better than to make Dinus look back, so your movements are slow and measured, trying not to arouse too much suspicion from patrons coming up to the bar. You take the fat member in your hands as it throbs and grows before your very eyes, and your gaze drifts down to the hefty nuts sitting underneath. The entire thing looks...//delicious//. You give the foreskin a few tugs and watch as the member throbs in your hands. It has to be at least 9 inches in length, but //god//, it's //thick//.

Your $species lips touch with his pucker and Dinus immediately tenses up in response, slightly adjusting as he spreads his legs apart a little. Somehow, he pushes his rear end into your face, and he stick out your tongue. His rear end feels and tastes delightfully clean to your senses, and you drag your inexperienced tongue over the sensitive flesh. Dinus tries not to utter a sound, but you can tell he's enjoying it, for his hips push back into your tongue and his entire back end practically trembles. You stuff your thumbs deep between his cheeks and spread his behind a little further, sliding your wet tongue around his pucker in soft, circular motions. Every so often, you push your mouth deep against him, suckling and stuffing your tongue barely past his ring and into his behind, and he seems to thoroughly enjoy it when you do it. Your $skin is prickling with desire, your $age year old $species lips dug firmly against his behind, rolling your tongue deeper and deeper, occasionally speeding up and then slowing down. Dinus's muscles are clenching and squeezing around your tongue, and after a good few minutes ot suckling, you feel a large hand on the back of your head, pushing your face against his read end further. Suddenly, that hand curls against your $skin and his entire rear end shudders. He pushes his hips against you, and you feel him periodically squeezing, his pucker and insides spasming against his tongue and lips. You're not sure quite what happened. As you pull your mouth back, you're greeted to the sight of thick, wet globs of cum splattering across the floor between Dinus's legs, and over the shelves under the count. He must have //really// enjoyed it.

Dinus seems to feel you pretty quickly, and he begins to squat down his rear end so that you're at a better height. Your reach around his rump, stroking his toned ass and idly toying with his stumpy tail as you slowly begin to harden, your $cock member sliding between those warm cheeks. You feel him suddenly pressing down around you, and you rock your hips up against him. A groan escapes your lips, but you try to be discreet. The pleasure is truly and utterly exquisite. Each hump and thrust is met by clenching cheeks, and you soon find your $cock member pre-cumming between his cheeks, slicking up your movements more and more. Being an underage, inexperienced boy means you don't last very long, and after a few minutes of humping, your orgasm suddenly hits you. You slide your hips back as your $cock member throbs and pulses small strings of cum between Dinus's cheeks. He pushes back against you as a sharp groan escapes his lips.

As your peel the foreskin back, your brush your lips against the glans of his member and stick out his tongue, sliding the fleshy appendage along the sensitive skin. Dinus reacts appropriately, rolling his hips up against your mouth, and you curl your fingers around the warm flesh, sliding your hands up and down. Dinus seems to be //really// enjoying the feel of your tongue, because he just keeps thrusting his hips forward into your mouth. Your tongue slides along his urethra, slathering across every inch you can get to, and you occasionally dip your head past the head of the cock to kiss and taste along the rest of his thick cock. Soon enough, you can feel his member pulsing and throbbing against your hands, and you're sure he might be getting close. You didn't exactly know when he might cum, however, and you were caught by surprise with a thick jet of cum suddenly shot into your mouth, as you were sucking on his urethra. You try your best to gulp what you can, but his chruning balls are pumping out a powerful amount of seed, and you eventually have to pull your head back.

You lick and slurp with your $species tongue, the fleshy appendage sliding around his balls. You taste every inch of them, enoying the feel of his fur against your tongue as your $skin prickles with desire. You can feel something warm and wet against your back, and you guess that it's Dinus's pre-cum. The more you lick, the more Dinus seems to get into it, rocking his hips against your body and forcing his balls up against your tongue. Not that //you're// complaining: the warm feeling of his balls against your mouth is delightfully tantalising and you can't help but cradle and squeeze those orbs with all the eagerness you can muster. Then, rather suddenly, you feel something hot and wet on your back, and you pull your body back, realising rather quickly that Dinus has orgasmed.

When he was dressed, he tentatively reached out and stroked the top of your head. "Thanks, kid. I should clean up, so...come back soon, okay?" You leave him to it.

Maybe he just had that kind of intuition to know when he's being watched. His face lights up when he sees you, and he gets up from his table, stepping towards the door just left of the window.

You seem to be standing in what looks like a mixture of a dining room and a kitchen, with a stove sitting in the corner and wooden counter tops just underneath the window and along towards a door on the adjascent wall, leading into other rooms. The dining table sits square in the center of the room. (if:$M8D is 1)[Suddenly, you're envoloped in a hug, and you sink against Wyatt's body, resting against him. You appreciate the hug.

Wyatt is very open about who he is, and you briefly look him over, now that you have a chance to take a breath. You subtly notice he's barely wearing a thing, over than a disastorously thing loincloth over his crotch, and a pair of footwraps from his shin and around his sole, leaving his canine, clawed toes exposed. "You want a bowl?" You briefly consider the offer. You are hungry, after all. This place is a lot warmer than the Inn, for sure.

God knows you could actually use the food at this moment in time: you're definitely quite hungry, and the Inn doesn't provide much. "Excellent." Wyatt seemed pleased, and he gets to his feet, crossing across the small kitchen as you slide into a seat opposite where he was sitting. You crane your body around to watch him spooning soup into a bowl from a large ladle, before putting more into a second bowl. You begin to wonder why at first, but it becomes readily apparent rather quickly. "Can't just go and feed you without giving your friend some food, right?" Wyatt grinned at the pair of you, placing one bowl on the table, whilst setting the other on the floor. Kami's tail frantically wags and he seems definitely rather appreciative, dipping his head and lapping at the hot soup rather happily. You stare down at the bowl in front of you. You can't even remember the last time you had a hot, well-cooked meal like this. Everything in your past was still so foggy. "So, what's his name?" Wyatt's question snaps you back to reality, and you tell him the Wolf is named Kami. He seems to like the name, and the two of your briefly eat in silence. The bread is a little stale, but you hungrily bite into it. It's //heaven.// The night draws on, and the two of you idly talk over the food until the pair of you are finished. Your stomach is full, and the full feeling is making you feel a little groggy, for sure. "Alright, well...I should call it a night. You're welcome to stop over if you need a place, but I only have one bed. So...I can take the floor." Wyatt assured you. Kami was already snoozing in the corner, his bowl empty beside him.

(if:$WSS2c is 1)[You quickly make the offer, and Wyatt's eyes widen. He seems to be battling with his inner demons for just a moment, before a sheepish grin spreads across his face. He seems to get a little flustered at the idea of close contact, especially on a non-combat level. That's something interesting to note. "Sure. C'mon, then." He gets up and leads you through into the bedroom, and your eyes briefly travel to his rather impressive, toned behind, watching the way it swayed as he walked. The two of you enter what appears to be the bedroom, and you're ultimately not surprised at just how cramped it is. The bed itself is quite big, but the rest of the room has very little space to move. Wyatt climbs into the bed and relaxes on his back, patting the bed beside him. You round the bed and crawl in alongside him, instinctively curling up into his side, which he seems rather surprised about. He doesn't shy away from it, however, and he puts an arm around you, drawing the blankets up to cover the pair of you. It's nice. It's warm. You slide a hand over his stomach and press your head into his side, and he shifts next to you. You hear him give out a long sigh, but he's clearly still very much awake.

You kind of feel bad for Wyatt sleeping on the floor now, but he doesn't seem to mind, stealing one of the blankets from the bed and putting it underneath him. Wyatt seems like a trusting soul, so you don't hesitate too much in climbing into the bed fully clothed, curling up against the soft pillow and brushing your $skin against it. You pull the covers over your body and close your eyes. It's warm and cosy. It reminds you of something, but you can't recall what. Before you know it, it's already morning, and the light filtering in from the window in the room wakes you up. Wyatt's out like a light on the floor, but he begins to stir when you move around in the bed. Kami seems to have joined you in the bedroom, and you find him snoozing happily at the foot of the bed, curled around your feet. As you crawl out of bed, both Kami and Wyatt stir into action. The Canine slowly gets up and seems to cover himself for a moment, looking a little embarrassed as he makes sure the blanket is covering him. He clears his throat. "Going already?" You nod. It's best you get moving anyway, since it's Daytime now. He seems to understand. "Take care, Wolf boy." [[Leave.->Hub]]]

(if:$WSS3c is 1)[You can't help yourself, and you reach your hand down, sliding it slowly underneath the blankets and down his stomach. You can feel his heartbeat quickening and his stomach physically caves in a little as your small, delicate fingers slide over his fur. Soon, your fingers brush up against something, and you slide your hand a little lower so that you can get a feel for it. You quickl recognise it to be a sheath, similar to most normal canines. As your fingers squeeze and feel it up, you can feel it engorge against your grip, and Wyatt lets out a particularly shaky breath from above you. Slowly, that member begins to grow, you small fingers sliding and squeezing around the sheath, until you can't take it anymore. You reach up with your hand and pull the blanket down, wanting to see that member for yourself. It's as you expected: thick, large, and throbbing. Wyatt spots an impressive package, even if he's only half-hard: 4 inches of his canine member is slowly sliding from his sheath and steadily growing larger. You slide your $species fingers against the veiny, fleshy surface, and you feel the warmth on your fingertips. Wyatt's stomach concaves for a moment as he groans under his breath, and you spot a bead of pre-cum leaking from the tip of his tapering end. You wrap your hand around it, giving it a firm stroke and watch it pulse to full-hardness with very little effort. You can see the base swelling outside of it's sheath, and you finally take in the entire length. It's got to be at least 8 inches or so, and definitely thick. The knot is fat and has to be at least 2 ish inches wide, give or take. It's an impressive size, but you're somehow not surprised: Wyatt seems like the sort of guy to be well-endowed.

By the time you awoke, the light was already filtering in through the window, and you couldn't remember whatever dream you had. Wyatt is sleeping soundly beside you, but you can see a very clear tenting in the blankets, mere inches away from your hand. Though, you didn't want to do anything last night, and maybe it's not best to do anything this time, either. At least, you think so. Kami is snoozing just at your feet, curled up with his head pressed down against the bed. The house is eeriely silent, but the clamouring of work outside is enough to keep you awake, as much as you could have liked a couple of extra hours. It's kind of nice, seeing Wyatt like this.

You feel the warm around you tightening against you, and your hand slowly moves up and down his member, spreading around the pre-cum to slick up his entire member. You slide your hand from the tip to the base, feeling every curve and bump. Wyatt is enjoying the treatment incredibly. You feel his hand curling around your rump, slipping underneath the tunic and pulling the back of your underwear down, and you don't argue with him about it.

You feel his fingers sliding between your cheeks, and youe close your eyes. An involuntary, boyish groan escapes your lips when his fingers meet with your taut little pucker, and his fingertip kneads against your underage entrance. This seems to encourage even more pre-cum to flow from his dick, and his chest begins you heave. You guess that he must be getting close. You feel it coming as your hands speed up, hearing his grunts and gentle pants of pleasure as your hand works quickly over his length, from tip to base. You watch as the knot at the base of his cock swells, before he's suddenly cumming. He grunts, pushing his hips up and his member powerfully throbs in your little grip, and thick ropes of cum shoot from the end of his cock, splattering across his chest and stomach. Cum dribbles down his member, coating your thumb and fingers. With each pulse, another rope of cum shoots out, dribbling down and pooling slightly around the base of his member.

You lay back and relax for 10 minutes or so, before Wyatt begins to awake beside you. He rolls over and stares down at you for a moment, before leaning forwards to plant a kiss on your head. With that, he rolls out of bed, and you do the same. "I've got to head out early, and unfortunately, so do you. I can't leave you here alone..." Wyatt explained loosely, standing near the doorway as he wrapped bandages around his arms and hands. "...Not that I don't trust you, of course. I just...it's my brother, you know? He'd be mad at me if he came home and found you here on your own." You understand. After all, to them, you're a bit of a stranger. You decide it's best to take off anyway.

You don't mind too much that he finished a little early, so long as he did finish. If anything, you're a little relieved: he's perhaps just a bit too thick and a bit too long for you to handle normally. Slowly, you ease yourself off of his member, and flop down beside him, feeling your slightly gaping hole leaking sticky cum. Wyatt grins toothily for a moment, before he slides out of bed, taking you with him. "Can't have you making a mess on my brother's bed." He insisted, carrying you through into the small adjascent room. He held you rather easily over what seemed to be some sort of bucket, and he dipped a hand in, cleaning you out. It's a little strange to you, but you suppose you understand. Thankfully, he towels off your backside after. With that, you both return to bed, and you fall asleep soon after, curled up against Wyatt. Your dreams are confusing, and by the time the sun in the morning had woken you up, you've forgotten them.

Wyatt is fast asleep beside you, and Kami must have moved onto the bed in the night, because he's curled around your feet, happily asleep.

Wyatt muttered behind you, and you suppress a snicker as he slides out of bed, making his way into the bathroom. He must have been glad to catch it early. You quickly lap up the cum and pre-cum off your fingers, before rolling onto your back, and eventually sitting up. You stretch out your bed and slowly get up as Wyatt re-enters the room. "Hey." He smiles over you, and you return his friendly demeanour with a similar one. You pat Kami awake and the Wolf hops off the bed, wandering around to your side as Wyatt begins rolling some bandages onto his hands. "I've got to head out early, and unfortunately, so do you.

You don't take much over than a handful of bread, chewing it down. Somehow, you know how to write, so you plan to write a note. However, just as you were searching for a pencil, you turn to see Wyatt lingering in the doorway. "Need to head out? That's cool, so do I." He smiles over at you. His erection seems to have gone, which is good, and you grin at him with every degree of innocence you can muster. "I know you took some bread. It's okay." He pats your head gently, stepping back briefly to retrieve a pair of bandages from the bedroom. "I'll catch you later, Wolf boy." You bid him a farewell, leaving the way you came, which is through the back door into the alley. He winks as you as you leave. |Kami>["Did you sleep well, Master?"] You did.

The wild animal is a mixture of red and black hues that seem to be retreating, but the aura occasionally spikes and stabs into Kami's light. It's as if it's a battle of light and dark, though you know that the situation is a little more nuanced than that. You grip the dagger a little tighter as you step around Kami, and your companion retreats a little, seeing that the blade is in your hand. You feel as if you know what to do, as if something is guiding you. You stare down at the snarling animal in front of you and you reach out a hand. You pump all your will for it to calm down through your fingertips. You're greeted to a light show of your own magic, watching as a blinding green mist trickles down you arm and shoots from your fingertips. Everything is a little washed out by the Dirk's vision, but you can clearly see the aura of your magic envolope the wild animal completely, swallowing it up in shades of green. You suddenly feel incredibly tired, and your knees shake. The aura fades, and you can see that the animal before you looks a lot less rabid. You shakily sheath the dirk, and your vision returns to normal, greeting you to that black wolf.

It shrouds the canine over, and you watch as the wolf puts it's teeth away and straightens up completely, looking calm and collected.

But, he can't really blame you, with the amount of money that's at stake. "Well...you can take a carriage, or you can walk it. The former is going to take you a couple of days, whilst the latter will take you more like 3 or 4." That was some good advice, so you thank him. The options are in front of you, but you're aware that a carriage will cost you money, whilst the other will be free, but take longer. "...Just be careful, kid. Okay?" Dinus warns you of the dangers ahead, and you appreciate it. You step out and decide what you want to do. It's currently $DN time.

(if:$MQ2c is 1)[You decide to pay for a carriage to Scarhaven, and considering this was a royal decree, a number of mercenaries seem to be taking the same route. After paying up the fee for passage, you clamber up into the back of a spacious carriage with Kami, and the two of you sit amongst various othe mercenaries. "You don't look ready to fight." One of the mercenaries aptly pointed out your rather plain garments. He's right, you're not really suited for combat. Perhaps you can change that when you get there. You had the opportunity to sleep twice during your journey, and since neither you nor Kami trusted the mercenaries around you, you took turns sleeping. You slept first, and Kami watched, and then you watched whilst Kami slept, his head over your legs. Occasionally, someone steps out into the carriage's driver's seat, and another returns to sleep. Eventually, the carriage trundles to a halt, and you realise that you must be at your destination. A number of mercenaries head out from the tarp that covers the end of the carriage, stepping out into the small village. After a moment, you and Kami follow them. [[Continue.->MQ4]]](elseif:$MQ2c is 2)[You decide to conserve your funds and walk to Scarhaven. You just hope that you'll make it in time to help fulfill the quest. You have no idea how long that parchment has been up, but considering it was still there, you think you have time. After getting a few directions from Dinus, you make haste for Scarhaven on foot, with nothing but your tunic and underwear, and a small satchel of food that Dinus had been kind enough to lend you. Kami walked alongside you, protecting you and scouting ahead when needed. You had to rest at least 3 or 4 times on your journey. Walking all day certainly helped you strengthen your muscles, but it was incredibly tiring, and you slept for long periods of time in between resting. Kami had tried to help you and keep you motivated as best you can, which you appreciated. You met a number of people on the road, and spoke to a couple of them. One of them was kind enough to give you bread and 20 coins for your journey. (set:$coin to $coin + 20) After what feels like forever, Scarhaven is finally in sight. You can't quite make out anything until you get a little closer. [[Continue.->MQ4]]]

You are not standing right in the middle of Scarhaven. Whatever way you had taken to get here, it's now day time. The village is quiet. You can see that there's not much but for at least 20 or 30 houses, presumably with 3 people to a house. There seemed to be a smithy at the far end, and you could make out someone hard at work. Other than that, there wasn't much here, but for the rolling fields to your left, acres of land owned by the local farmers. To your right is what you suspect to be the cause of the village's troubles: a rather dense-looking patch of forest that had to at least spread out for a mile or more, but obviously didn't cover very much, for it lacked a spooky name. Not too far from the forest's edge, just on the side of the main travelling route, was a rather luxurious tent. The outside was painted red and white, with an entrance wide enough for two people to enter in from. A flag was stuck into the ground nearby, the insignia clearly representing the King of Reliquim. You can only assume this is where you'll get 'further instructions'. This place does seem nice though. Were it under different circumstances, you might stay for a while. You make a note to return at a later date. [[Head into the tent.->MQ5]]

You step into the tent, with Kami in tow, and all hell breaks loose. Immediately, nearby soldiers and mercenaries are drawing their weapons, pointing them directly in your direction. Specifically, they point them right at Kami, who bows his head and lets out a small snarl. "Boy! Is this your mongrel?!" Someone from the back called out, and you profusely inform them that Kami is your companion. They hesitate for a moment, before they slowly sheath their weapons again, relaxing a little. Despite that, the tension in the air is thick, and you quietly make your way past the seething stares of mercenaries and towards a table at the far end of the tent. "My apologies," The knight standing on the other side of the table lifts his visor, revealing a rugged canine face. "Given the nature of our charge, you can understand we're a little wary of your typical forest animal." You can understand, to a degree, though you were a little bit angry. Kami is look decidedly furious, but he's reigning in his restraint particularly well. You blow a small sigh and look to the man, who shoots you an apologetic grin. Already, Mercenaries are filing their way out of the tent as more arrive. Presumably, you're going to be given a run down along with a few others. "I, uh...I must say, you don't look fit for battle." The knight awkwardly pointed out, but he could tell from the look on your face that you wouldn't be deterred. He cleared his throat. "Let's begin, shall we?" [[Continue.->MQ52]]

"This is rather simple, ladies." The Guard called out rather loudly, and you take a step back to fall in line with the other mercenaries standing around, as well as some other guards. "The forest just behind this sent is full of **ravenous animals.** That means they're going attack **on sight**. Your job is to eliminate them. Preferably, kill them. We don't know why they're acting up, but we're tried out best to deter them and they keep returning." "500 gold is given to anyone who can kill at least one. As proof of your kill, we'll need you to bring something back. //The head.// Trust me, people have done //much// worse for money, and I'm sure plenty of you need 500 gold." The guard's eyes linger on you for a moment, and you shudder at the thought of having to cut off a poor animal's head just to get money. Kami looks decidedly nervous, and you wonder if it's a good idea to even bring him with you. Someone could mistake him for a wild animal and attack him, which wouldn't be good, for sure. "Bring the head to me, you'll get your gold. The more heads you bring, the more I'll tally. It's not a competition, but the King will be sure to consider you for any other missions required. Alternatively, if any of you plan to make an honest life for yourself, this is a prefect recommendation." Once again, his eyes linger to you. He's desperately hinting at you, but you know what's at stake. You don't consider yourself a mercenary, but perhaps he's right, and maybe you should make a life for yourself rather than going around doing odd jobs. "That's it. Roll out." He gestured, and the mercenaries began to file out. Soon enough, you follow them, Kami in tow. The forest lies ahead. [[Better get moving.->Maze9]]

You feel the power growing and growing as you move, and you feel as if you're getting closer now. Suddenly, something catches your eye. It seems to be a figure in the distance, and it's large. It kind of scares you, but it also seems like it's the one thing that's causing the problems. At least, that's the hunch you get from looking at it. It's hard to make out it's features, though.

You feel as if you're getting closer now. You can hear barking and roaring in the distance, and it sends a chill down your spine. Kami whimpers beside you. He's scared too.

You're at another corner of this forest. You have a feeling that this thing is going to end up being a full circle if you go around the entire outside. There doesn't seem to be anything noteworthy here. [[Go North.->Maze12]] [[Go West.->Maze15]]

(enchant: ?u, (text-style:'underline')) |u>[Strange Mushroom] A peculiar Mushroom that you picked in a forest near Scarhaven. You have a feeling is bears some magical propety, because you can catch it sparkling every so often. However, you have no idea what it's used for.

(enchant: ?u, (text-style:'underline')) |u>[Speedband] Wyatt's lucky headband. It's said to make you fun faster when you're wearing it, or so he says. You'll treasure it.

You begin to approach the figure, moving steadily closer and closer with each passing second. You can feel the air crackling with power, and it makes you slightly nauseous. Kami begins whimpering decide you, and that's when you know that something is wrong. There's something about this figure you're approaching. Something...evil. As you draw ever nearer, you notice it's massive. Notably, it's quadruped, and you can only gather that is must be some very, //very// large wolf. You linger by a tree and watch the beast for a moment. It seems to be staring down at, well, something...or //someone.// Your eyes latch onto another figure, one that looks suspiciously like a human. Suddenly, the figure's head snaps towards you. It sees you. You freeze on the spot and stare, wide-eyed, and it's eyes glow green. As if on cue, the large creature beside it turns in your direction. Its eyes glow a pure, malevolent red. [[Uh oh.->MQ7]]

You know better than to linger. You turn, and run. Your heart is pounding. A ear-splitting roar erups through the forest and you press your hands to your (if:$species is "Reptile" or "Dragon" or "Avian")[earholes](else:)[ears] as you run, trying to block out the noise, but it's so damn //loud.// Kami is right behind you as you run, and you briefly turn your head to look back. You see the large creature bounding towards you, faster than you can run. It's quick, and it's at least 4 times your size. Of course it's going to get you. There's no escaping it. As you run, your ankle catches something. You trip on a root and fall flat on your face amongst the forest leaves. Fearful for your life, you roll onto your back and scrabble backwards, too scared to think to just get up and keep running. Kami senses your impending danger, and he turns to fight the source head on. Unfortunately, the beast isn't alone. A number of wolfs from the surrounding area have joined in on the hunt, with the intent to snuff you out. There has to be at least 5 or 6 of them, including the behemoth of a Wolf standing in front of you. It's 2 versus 7, and you don't like those odds. The adrenaline is coursing through your system. You feel as if your heart is about to explode. You can feel something inside you: a churning momentum that's only getting stronger and stronger. You feel as if you can...//reach it//, somehow. [[Tap into it.->MQ8]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black))You imagine tapping into his power, and all of a sudden, your body hums with a power you've never felt before. Your skin prickles, and your heartbeat quickens to something beyond normal. Every sense is heigtened. You can smell the air, smell the //fear// in your companion's very body language. Each snarl and pant falls on your (if:$species is "Canine" or "Feline")[ears](else:)[earholes] as if they were right up against them. You can practically taste the palpable tension in the air, as well as the nectar of something sweet: //magic.// You feel a renewed confidence. Slowly, you curl your hands into fists and get to your feet, and Kami turns his head towards you. He seems to freeze at the sight of you, presumably because you might look odd. You stare down at your hands, watching in awe as the faint whisps of green mist emanate from your fingertips, curling around your arms. |Kami>["Master. Feel that energy. Carve it into what you seek. Twist it to your will."] Kami coaches you through this powerful feeling inside of you. What is it you seek? What is it you //want?// [[For your enemies to retreat.->MQ9]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black))You push all your will into what you want, and you feel the power within you shaping to your goal. You want your enemies to back off and leave. Ultimately, you would like more, but it was imperative that you put yours, and Kami's life before thoes goals, just for a moment. |Kami>["Yes, yes, Master! That's it. Now, push that energy outwards. It needs to envolope your foes..."] You did as he suggested, and you watched as the green mist around your arms and fingers intensifies. You felt your hands trembling, your knees shaking. The power at your fingertips was a lot for your young body to handle all at once, but you did your best to remain standing. You could feel the power in your fingertips, and you felt an uncomfortable pressure in your fingers. You concentrated, and flicked your fingers out. The simple action pushed your will forwards, shoving the magic from your body. It fired off in small, green, mist-like bombs, which then expanded and enveloped the party of 7 creatures before you. You watch as the mist envolopes them, and you feel your strength beginning to leave you. Your visions returns to normal, and you take in a large gulp of breath. Eventually, your knees buckle, and you fall onto them, panting harshly. You feel as if you've just run a marathon, but you can only assume the spell you just performed was powerful. [[Continue.->MQ10]]

You watch with bated breath, hoping to god that the spell you cast was enough to do what you needed to. The snarling wolves slowly stop, one by one, their teeth sliding back and their stance changing to something a little more docile. The 6 lesser wolves all eventually look calm, but the snarling, beast of a wolf in the middle is taking his time to eventually calm down. After what feels like a nail-biting 5 minutes or so, his teeth finally pull back and he slowly raises his head, staring down at you. His red eyes fade int something similar to a sharp green. The mist surrounding them slowly fades, leaving the 7 of them calm, and serene. The large behemoth raises his head, and lets out an ear-piercing howl. You cover your (if:$species is "Canine" or "Feline")[ears](else:)[earholes] and wince a little from the sound, before it finally subsides. The sounds of fighting around you suddenly stop. You can only assume that this large creature stopped all the fighting, somehow. The large wolf takes one look at you, before it bows it's head, like some sort of nod of respect. With that, he turns, padding his back the way he came, and the 6 wolves turn to follow him. Your eyes meet Kami's, and he blinks at you. Suddenly, your vision starts the blur. The adrenaline is wearing off, slowly, and you suddenly feel weak. Eventually, it's too much to bear. You collapse. [[Continue.->MQ11]]

You slowly begin to come to, and the first sight you're greeted to is the bold colours of red and white. Your brain quickly recognises it to be the roof of the tent on the outskirts of the forest itself. You slowly begin to sit up, and wish you hadn't. You have a pounding headache, and god, it feels as if your head is about to explode. You wince, and hear a whine to the right of you. Kami is sitting beside you, and he's clearly quite worried for your safety. Luckily, it seems some people are nearby. "Glad to see you're up." Someone spoke, and you slowly turn your head towards a lean-looking Feline, clad in blood-stained armour. He crouches down beside you, his face serious. "I saw what you did. That...magic. You probably stopped the entire forest from killing us all. There were way too many of them as it was." He ran a hand over his head, before grinning down at you. "I'm in your debt, child. If you're ever in Scarhaven, come find me. Ask the Blacksmith in town where **Frederik** is. That's me, by the way." You remember his name, and tell him yours. "$name? Cute. Get some rest. The troops are packing up, but I told them you saves us all. This is for you." He sets a hefty sack of coins by your side, before getting to his feet. He lingers for a moment, grinning down at you, before he gives you a salute. "We'll make a soldier of you yet, $name." With that, he turns, and you stare at his cape as he wanders out. The large cape bears the insignia of the King, and you can only guess that this Frederik fellow is high up in the ranks. You appreciate the gold, however, and count there to be eactly 500. (set:$coin to $coin + 500) Counting those coins gave you a bit of time to recuperate. You decide that you should start making your way back to Holstein. You're definitely taking a carriage this time, and it looks like there's a free one heading back. [[Get going.->MQ12]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black))The events of the forest have worried you a great deal. You sit in the carriage with the other mercenaries, who seem too eager to talk about how much they had killed to be paying attention to you, or Kami, sitting in the corner of the carriage. You convey your fears to Kami, and ask if he saw what you saw. |Kami>["I did, $name. This is not good news. A Magister using his magic for evil purposes...it could spell doom for all of Orbath."] Was it really that bad? You press for further information, but Kami is happily ready to give it, if you ask the question. |Kami>["A magister wields a lot of power at their fingertips, and you would be surprised what one can do with creatures such as Dragons under their control."] You hadn't thought of it that way. If there was a Magister out there with the power of Dragons at his fingertips, willing to raid and destroy villages as he wished, then it could spell disaster. He could do anything, maybe even spark a war if he played it right. |Kami>["We should be wary. Should the Council hear about it, they might seek us out, as we are...of the same cloth, so to speak."] Perhaps he was right. If they were after another Magister, it would make sense to track his whereabouts with someone of a similar magical 'signature'. You're not sure how you knew that information. You decided to rest away the rest of your fears, and Kami curled up beside you. You were glad to have him. Were it not for Kami, you might not even be here.(set:$MQ1D to 1)(set:$pk to 1) [[Complete the Quest.->Hub]]

You decide to take the quest, and you know that you're bound for Streamdale. You have two choices ahead of you. Walk the distance, or take a carriage. Though, you have no idea how much it will cost to take a carriage, nor do you know far Streamdale is from the capital. With that in mind, you ask the Innkeeper. (if:$innsc is 0)[You approach the Innkeeper, a rather burly, muscular-built bear with an apron over his front. He smiles down at you as you approach. "Hey there, kid. Name's Dinus. What can I do for you?" You ask him, rather clearly, if he knows how far Streamdale is from the capital. "Streamdale? Uh, it's gotta be at leas 3 days travel by carriage, more if you walk.

It's near the mountains so it's bound to be...wait...are you going to take on that Dragon? Kid, that Dragon will eat you for breakfast."] You appreciate the sentiment, but you assure him you know what you're doing. He looks worried for you, but he doesn't press the matter. You thank him and retreat, heading out of the Inn and out into the square. Your choices are clear. (if:$coin is <75)[You can't afford a carriage](else:)[(link:"Take a Carriage.

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black))(if:$SQ11c is 1)[You take a carriage to Streamdale. The carriage is relatively empty, giving you ample time to figure out how you might deal with the Dragon. Naturally, you ask Kami for assistance.

The carriage ride is long, and you sleep most of it off. After all, there's not much to do other than talk, and the other Mercenaries in the carriage aren't much of a talker. Eventually, Streamdale lies in the distance, and you blow a sigh of relief.

You're honestly not sure, and it looks as if you might have to play it by ear otherwise. With a sigh, you continue your journey. It took your 4 days to reach Steamdale, and it was an exhausting trip. [[Continue.->SQ13]]]

You can easily see the damage that the Dragon has caused the minute you enter the town, and it doesn't look good. Smoke billows up from the fields to your right, and it's clear the Dragon has been at them. You can see the mountains in the distance, although you can't seem to find any kind of holes or cave entrances from here. As you and the other Mercenaries loiter around the middle of town, a rather overweight Ratman comes to greet you, dressed in lavish clothing. However, he does look mildly scared, and his clothing is slightly skewed. You can only guess that he's the mayor of the village, and you're soon confirmed of that fact. "Hello, everyone." The Ratman wheezed a little. "Thank you for coming. I'm the Mayor of the town, Poisant Uluémere." What a strange name. "The Dragon lies in the mountains behind you," He continued, hunching over a little before eventually straightening up. "I hope you can deal with it when even out own knights were unable to. We have a carriage to take you as close to the Dragon's cave as we can." You appreciate that, and you hear a murmur of gratitude from the other Mercenaries, too. [[Continue.->SQ14]]

You, and a number of others, all bundle yourself into a carriage, with the intent to head up the mountain and face the Dragon head on. The carriage ride took a few hours, which is short in comparison to how long it took to get to Streamdale in the first place. The carriage makes its way up various steep inclines, with horses pulling the cart. Kami sits beside you, looking as calm as ever. You can notice a few serious stares from the other Mercenaries on the cart, and you can only guess that they're not taking you seriously. Perhaps they think you're too young for this sort of thing, or ill prepared. They'd be right: all you have is a tunic and underwear, and not much else. The carriage trundles to a halt in what feels like the middle of nowhere, and the carriage driver turns to address you all. "The cave is a little ways ahead. The path becomes too narrow form here." That makes sense. With the others, you disembark and begin on a walk to the Dragon's cave. You wind yourself through various narrow walkways and steep paths until you're standing at the foot of an increadibly large cave mouth. You have no idea how you couldn't see it from the village, and when you look down, you realise why: you're above the clouds. [[Continue.->SQ15]]

(enchant: ?Dragon, (text-style:'smear') + (text-style:'rumble') + (text-style:'bold') + (text-colour: #620000))One of the Mercenaries goes first, and you hover at the entrance to the cave mouth, watching him walk into the darkness. There's an eerie silence as you, and the other mercenaries, listen for any noise. Suddenly, you hear a blood-curdling cry, and the Mercenary is suddenly propelled out of the cave. He soars through the air and plummets off of the cliff, falling to his doom and dissappearing beneath the clouds. Your blood goes cold and you can the fear bubbling up in your throat. Much like you, the other Mercenaries are not so willing to just go ahead and enter the cave, but one is brave enough to fire a warning shot. He draws his bow and fires it into the darkness, and you hear a high-pitched, quite yelp. It sounds like the cry of someone rather young. Then, you heard a deep, grumbling growl. Whatever he hit, it pissed off the Dragon, for sure. A large, red-scaled claw cave out of the cave, at least the size of your entire body, and it whacked hard against the mercenary's side. He was sent sailing off the cliff like the others, and the claw came back around, missing you by inches and swiping against the Mercenary next to you. Your eyes widen as you stare at the large cuts in the man's body, and you cover your mouth in horror as his entire upper half slides off of his body. He's now in two pieces. You feel sick. That large, claws hand reaches towards you, and you wince, thinking that you're going to die. The hand hovers over your body for a moment, as if ready to squish you at any moment, before there's a quiet rumbling sound. |Dragon>["..Magister..."] [[Continue.->SQ16]]

(enchant: ?Dragon, (text-style:'smear') + (text-style:'bold') + (text-colour: #620000))The Dragon knows you. Or rather, he knows //what you are//. That's mildly disturbing. You hesitate at the entrance to the cave. No other Mercenaries are with you. You'd be on your own, essentially. |Dragon>["Don't keep me waiting."] With a nervous gulp, you step forwards into the cave, and the darkness envelopes you. You're practicaly walking in darkness, unable to see. But then, something catches your vision and glows in the darkness: a pair of bright, yellow eyes, looming above you, staring into your soul. You feel afraid, and Kami snarls next to you. Suddenly, there is a puff of smoke, before a billow of flames erupts over the roof of the cave. You shield yourself, expecting to be scorched, but you're surprised to find no burns on your body and $skin. You look up to see that the entire roof of the cave has been illuminated by the flames. They must have caught onto something, because the entire roof is glowing with what looks to be jewels and rocks. When you finally lower your head, you can see what the problem is. [[Continue.->SQ17]]

(enchant: ?Dragon, (text-style:'smear') + (text-style:'bold') + (text-colour: #620000))There's not just one Dragon here, there's 4. Granted, only one of them is an adult. It doesn't take much to realise that the 3 much shorter Dragons are nothing but whelps, and they're clearly quite excited to meet you, albeit wary. The three welps, which have to bat least 6 foot tall on all fours, nervously wiggle left and right next to each other, standing near the larger Dragon and tentatively sniffing the air. |Dragon>["I can see from the look on your face that you now realise why I refuse to leave. These are my children. Their mother left a long time ago. They need consistent care."] It makes sense to you. This Dragon is just looking after it's children, and having the village send mercenaries up to attack them is bound to ruffle a few feathers, so to speak. That doesn't explain why the crops are being torched, however, so you hesitantly ask. |Dragon>["They stared it. The minute we settled down here, they sent a Knight to kill us."] Well. Now you can see why he'd be angry. This quite the conundrum. |Dragon>["Magister. Like many before you, you value life. Do not be a monster."] This is a tough one. [[Offer some sort of deal.->SQ1SS1]] (link:"Try to persuade them to leave. (50% chance)")[(set:$SQ17c to 1)(goto:"SQ18")] (link:"Offer to talk to the village.")[(set:$SQ17c to 2)(goto:"SQ18")]

(enchant: ?Dragon, (text-style:'smear') + (text-style:'bold') + (text-colour: #620000))You have no idea why you suggested it, but you make an offer. A rather lewd one, in fact. You tell the large Dragon that you'll perform some sexual favours, in exchange for them leaving and finding somewhere else to live. The Dragon seems to consider it for a moment, before he blows out a rather large huff through his nostrils. Kami looks decided resigned to the idea, though he's clearly a little jealous. |Dragon>["My children are coming into the cusp of their adulthood, in more ways than one. If you can sate them, then perhaps I can consider relocation."] It's a fine deal, though you're a little nervous about 3 relatively large Dragon Whelps going to down on you. You have no idea what they'll do to you. Despite that, you and the Dragon seem to agree, and he makes a gesture to his offspring, letting them do as they wished. The first to come forward was the middle of the trio, and he seemed rather playful, nosing and sliding his snout into your side, circling around you so that he could see the extent of your body. After watching their sibling enjoying the new company, the other two eventually joined in on the fun, and the three of them began to circle around you like some sort of ritual, sniffing and nuzzling you all over, from your feet to your stomach, all the way up to your neck and face. You felt a little overwhelemed, to be honest. Then, their tact changed. One broke off from the group to greet the smaller canine, lowering itself down to Kami's level and bobbing it's head up and down in greeting. Kami looked as if he was caught off-guard for a moment, before inevitably greeting the Whelp, who seemed purely innocent. [[Continue.->SQ1SS2]]

Maybe it's best if we find someplace else. Go to your village.

It's about as big as your torso, and weighs a ton, too.

However, it was becoming clear that they had other intentions. You began to feel a snout sliding down against your backside, nuzzling against your $skin and biting against the waistline of your underwear. For whelps, they were surprisingly cunning and dexterous, and you felt your underwear sliding down past your knees. One of them circled to stand in front of you, and you watch in surprise as it's head bows down between your legs, tucking underneath the hem of your tunic and nuzzling against your $fcock. You lean forwards a little and let out a shaky exhale as you feel a large, wet tongue sliding against your $fcock. (if:$fcock is "flaccid cock")[Your humanoid member slowly begins to harden against the Dragon's tongue, and you roll your head back, groaning quietly in pleasure.](elseif:$fcock is "sheath")[Your sheath pulses and throbs from the assault, the tip of your underage member sliding from it's housing and slowly hardening from even lick and nuzzle.](elseif:$fcock is "slit")[Your slit tingles in response to the licking, feeling that fleshy appendage probing your entrance.

The young whelp doesn't let up, slathering your cock in it's warm saliva, coating every inch in the slippery substance as the other whelp tries to furiously wedge it's snout between your cheeks. You finally give him and let it have what it wants. The Dragon stuffs it's nose between your cheeks, and you feel the hot wetness of a tongue sliding up against your tight rump, making you shudder and squirm. You're assaulted from both sides, feeling the eager slurps of a tongue against your pucker, whilst your cock gets lathered in warm, wet saliva, the whelp's large tongue rolling over your member with ease. The pair of them seem to enjoy what they're going, and you can't help but enjoy it too. You feel bad for Kami though, who is attempting to circle around the 3rd whelp, trying to deter it from mounting the poor wolf and stretching him completely. Soon, you begin to feel a pressure within you, and the whelps change tact. You feel a tip prodding against your tight pucker, and you gasp in surprise as the whelp stuffs his tongue into your pink ring, sliding deeper and deeper, whilst the whelp in front of your opens his mouth wide and takes your cock against his tongue, suckling and bobbing it's head happily. It's all rather too much but your young body to take, and it leaves you trembling and panting in pleasure. [[Continue.->SQ1SS3]]

Just as you begin to feel that pleasure reaching it's peak, the whelps ease off, leaving you aching and begging for more. The whelps, however, had other plans in mind. The one in front of you plants their forepaws down against his chest and shoves hard, and you fall hard on your behind, before the weight of the whelp in front of you forces you onto your back completely. You're not sure what they're planning at first, but it becomes apparent when the whelp's dexterous forearms curm under your hips and lift your lower torso up. You catch a glimpse of the whelp's throbbing, knotted red cock, before your vision is obscured by a similar shape. The Whelp that was originally behind you is now looming over you completely, it's twitching appendage hovering just above your nose, aching for attention. Slowly, you reach up with a hand, wrapping your small fingers around the meaty cock and feeling the warm throbbing against your fingertips. The Dragon rolls his hips forward against your hand and elicits a gentle croon of pleasure from the touch. It's a rather exotic looking member: sizeable, with a knot at the base and ridges lining either side. You trace your fingers along them as the Dragon huffs and snorts. The other, meanwile, is busy attempting to find it's mark, it's cock clumsily sliding around between your saliva-coated cheeks, as your ankles hook around his hips to keep yourself steady. Eventually, the tip of the Dragon's member finds it's mark. The whelp delivers a sharp thrust that stretches you tight ring and gives you a brief pang of discomfort. You twist your head to see that Kami, too, has given in to the Whelp's demands, and is occasioanlly whining as the Whelp squats down, humping into the Wolf's backside. It can't be all bad, however: you can see Kami's knotted member twitching between his legs. [[Continue.->SQ1SS4]]

And so, it continues. The Whelp stuffed firmly into your behind thrusts without any care of attention for your own safety and wellbeing, and it honestly doesn't bother you too much: the whelp has an impressive member, but you're taking it well, despite the occasional bit of discomfort here and there. It's eager thrusts hit a sweet spot inside you that coaxes you further and further to the cusp of your orgasm, and you hope that it wont be cut short this time. Your hands, meanwhile, and working wonders on the Whelp hovering above you, as your mouth gently kisses and licks the whelp's knot, coaxing him to croon and thrust against your curled hands. Pre-cum readily drips down onto your chest with each thrust and hump, and you let out gentle pants of groans of pleasure yourself. Your chest is heaving as you feel the pressure in your loins building. You know what's coming, and you want it. The Whelp thrusts just a few more times, and it's enough to send you over the edge. You groan against the Whelp's cock against your mouth, closing your eyes, your body quaking with your orgasm. Gentle strings of cum shoot from the end of your $cock cock, splattering against your tunic and seeping down onto your $skin. You arch your back and squeeze your inner muscles tightly, making the Whelp inside you wildly buck with gusto. He readily thrusts harder and harder with each rump, your hands weakly sliding your hands around the other whelp's member, watching it pulse and throb from the stimulation. You begin to feel something warm inside of you, and it makes you tingle. You dart your eyes down to see the Whelp irregularly thrusting on top of you, letting out whines of pleasure, and you can only assume it's on the brink. Then, it suddenly stops for a moment, pulling back and thrusting forwards, hard. You wince briefly and feel your muscles give away in surprise, swallowing up the knot with a stab of discomfort. Your muscles spasm and that warm feeling inside you intensifies as the whelp's legs quake and shudder with an orgasm. All that's left is the one in front of you, and you pick up speed, drawing a hand to that swelling knot and squeezing it with your fingers as your hands work quickly over the tip. The whelp lets out heavy pants of pleasure, thrusting into your hand until he, too, is cumming, shooting ropes of cum over your front and splattering your face, as well as hanging from the other whelp's underside.

(enchant: ?Dragon, (text-style:'smear') + (text-style:'bold') + (text-colour: #620000))(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black))That was a rather interesting experience, to say the least, and you're stuck for the time being. Luckily for you, Dragon's deflate a lot quicker than canines do, and after a couple of minutes of hanging from the whelp's cock, the knot slips out of you, leaving you slightly gaping and used. You're practically covered in cum, but the whelps seem particularly satisfied, and they curl up around you, nuzzling and cuddling into your body. |Dragon>["It seems they've taken a liking to you."] You forgot that the Dragon had been watching you the entire time. You're not sure what's worse: whoring yourself out for underage Dragon cubs, or doing so whilst the father watches you do it. Either way, it's mildly disturbing. As you try to find the strength to stand, a large hand lowers down to you. In between two claws is a shiny red scale, and you take it in your hands. It's about as big as your torso, and heavy, too. |Dragon>["Take this scale as proof that I will be leaving this place. Give me a couple of days, and I'll leave this village in peace."] You thank him, shakily getting to your feet with the Scale in hand, or rather, two hands.

"Thank you so, so much. Here, child. The gold, as promised. I'm sorry it's not much." The Mayor hands you a small pouch of coins, and you thank him, taking a quick bow. (set:$coin to $coin + 100) He shakes you hand feverently and takes a bow to you in return. "Now, I must let the village know.

You rightly point out that the Dragon has offspring that require stability, and he is only protecting them. You finally insist that if he stops sending mercenaries up to kill the Dragon, then he wont face any difficulties from the Dragon in the future. The Mayor thinks on it for a moment, and you can tell he's conflicted. "...Alright, fine," The Mayor waves a hand and sighs. "We'll try to leave him be as best as we can. At least our crops will be saved for the next harvest." You nod, and thank him for being compassionate. He puffs out his chest at the compliment, before he looks mildly deflated.

What happens when those Dragon offspring get older? They'll come out of there in a rebellious phase and destroy the village. That inevitable doom will make everyone go mad." "I'm sorry," He puts a hand to your shoulder, and you understand. "Obviously, no reward can be given because you did not solve our problem, but the carriage driver on the edge of town will take you home."

First thing's first. You need to speach with the Innkeeper to find out the best way to get to Wrenville. You have a feeling you wont really need to go the entire distance, but it might be worth knowing how far it is regardless.

It's quite far north, so you're looking at at least 4 days ride, no less." That sounds rather daunting, but you thank him for the information.

Perhaps that was the 'Magister' side of you worrying, or maybe you were just a big animal lover in the past. Much like Dinus has said, the carriage ride was brutally long, but it was only after a couple of days that you felt the carraige trundling to a halt. Since you were the only one taking the trip to Wrenville, you decide to disembark and see what the problem is. You're surprised to see the sight of a wreckage near the cart, and a number of people are standing around it.

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black))"Stand back, kid. This is dangerous work." You hover for a moment and look rather surprised when a Mercenary tells you to back off, and you peek around him to see the predicament. The cart is in tatters, and a number of bags of what would have been food lie strewn around the area. Meat and hunks of bred look to have been bitten in to, along with various other fruits and vegatables, and you can only assume that the Wolves have been here. What surprises you, however, is that they still seem to be. A large, grey-furred adult Wolf stands near a Mercenary, snarling and snapping it's teeth. The Mercenary has it's axe drawn, ready to strike if it gets too close. You look a little closer, and your eyes widen when you notice 3 or 4 pups, considerably smaller than the adult, are also joining on the fight, holding back near the adult Wolf and yapping madly in the mercenaries direction. "Yah!" The Mercenary bellows at the wolf, stamping on the ground and raising it's axe. It seems to spook the adult, who turns and darts off back towards the forest in the distance, and the pups join it. However, one of the stumbles and trips, and the Mercenary manages to grab it. "Hey, look, I caught one!" He guffaws, and the Mercenary that was holding you back finally leaves you be, joining the others as they talk amongst themselves. It seems this quest has already been solved, which is a shame. You turn to leave, wondering whether it's best to walk back or take the carriage. You pause, however, when Kami doesn't follow you, his eyes trained out towards the fleeing wolves. You ask him what's wrong. |Kami>["Aleida."] [[Continue.->SQ24]]

(enchant: ?Kami, (text-style:'outline') + (text-colour: black))Curious, you question Kami more on what he's talking about, and he turns to you, patting his front paws to the ground. He looks quite distressed. |Kami>["Master, we must retrieve that pup and release it into the wild."] He's speaking rather quickly, so you crouch down and put a hand to his head, trying to calm him down. You ask him to explain, in the loosest terms. He takes a deep breath. |Kami>["Before I was blessed by Pan, I had a wife, and 4 children. I thought I might never see them again, yet here they are. She was named Aleida, and they were named Vesper, Berion, Saige and Eike."] He turns his head towards the mercenaries, who jeer and chuckle whilst holding the pup by the scruff of it's neck. The Wolf pup is thrashing around, attempting to bit them so he can be released. The pup looked barely 5 months old. |Kami>["That's Eike. He's the younest, and a clumsy boy. Please. We must help him, Master."] You'll do your best, of course. You can't deny Kami his children. Though, you have no idea how you're going to get the pup away from those mercenaries. You turn to watch as the Mercenaries begin to set up camp. Perhaps you can sneak in at night and take it, and Kami seems to have a similar view. You could either offer to camp with the mercenaries and take Eike when they're asleep, or wait until the cover of night and sneak in. (link:"Try to join the Mercenaries for the night.

The Mercenaries, a group of 3, set up camp whilst you sit and watch, and day slowly turns to night. They place Eike inside a cage, and Kami tries his best to remain calm under the circumstances. You admire his resolve. He only has to hold out a little longer.

You meander your way around the Mercenaries, tip-toeing and trying not to alert them to your presence. You know that if they catch you, it could end ugly. You're not ultimately sure if they'd just kill you or otherwise, so it's best to not wake them up at all. You slowly step over one of the Mercenaries and crouch by the cage. Eike begins to stir and wake, and starts patting his paws on the cage, on the cusp of barking. A single growl from Kami eliminates all noises from the pup, who hangs his head and looks decided told-off. These Mercenaries didn't even bother to put a lock on the cage, so it was very easy for you to ease open the latch and swing the cage door open, and it thankfully didn't squeak. The pup stepped out of the cage and you gestured for Kami to take the lead, tip-toeing you way around the mercenaries again until you were, finally, a considerable distance away. Your heart is pounding. Thank god you got out of there. You watch the tender moment with Kami and his son, and it's clear that they had both missed each other. Eike nuzzled into his fathers side and neck whilst Kami took in his scent, their tails wagging to and fro. In the dark, you make out the outline of a figure to your left, and you can see 3 smaller figures alongside. It's quite clearly Kami's old family, and Eike turns, bounding towards them. The wolf pup stops mid-way and turns back to look at the pair of you, before he runs to his mother. The group of 5 linger for a moment, before they turn and leave, heading towards the forest in the distance. You somehow feel lighter, and whilst Kami appears rather depressed now, you're certain he'll feel better. He crouch down and gently stroke across his head, suggesting you go home. He doesn't say a word, simply leaning his body into your side. [[Complete Quest.->Hub]]

You pay for the carriage to Scarhaven, and you and Kami climb aboard. This particular carriage was without a tarp over the top, but the idea of lounging in the sun and watching the clouds roll by, rather than having to sweat and swelter the walk to Scarhaven, seemed like a much more interesting prospect. You remember a phrase you've heard many people say: "Take what you're given." You do just that. The trip to Scarhaven took roughly 2 days or more, which wasn't so bad in the grand scheme of things. Horses didn't tend to move quickly unless scared or angry, and the leisurely pace they trotted along at was enough to lull you into a cosy sleep during the nights. The carriage seemed to be owned by two men, who took turns driving, alternating between day and night. You spoke to them occasionally, as well as a few of the other passengers you met in your travels. There wasn't much to tell aside from gossip. Eventually, Scarhaven was in sight, and you were pleased to see it. The carriage trundled towads the edge of town, and you slid off of the cart, thanking the driver and making your way into the town. [[Continue.->ScarHub]]

(if:$ScarStart is 0)[Scarhaven is a small sort of town, as you and Kami come to realise.

With the carriage safely parked, you and Kami dismount and take a look around the place. The centre of town is similar to Holstein in that it, too, has a 'centrepiece'. However, rather than an impressive, massive fountain, this small town instead has a well, with a wooden roof and shelter surrounding it for a sturdy retrieval of water. You and Kami take a brief tour around the town, for what little there is of it, to see if there are any notable buildings or landmarks. There isn't much. The Forest lies just east of town, and it's mostly quiet now that the animals in the surrounding area have calmed down. Other than that, the town has a small Inn that might not have any rooms for sale, and a blacksmith on the far side of town.

(if:$DN is "day")[(if:$SBSV is 0)[You know that there's a Blacksmith in town, and you decide it might be worth going and having a look. You're not one for combat gear and you imagine it to be quite expensive, but your inquisitive nature makes you curious about what there is. The first thing you notice as you approach is the large, smouldering coals, glowing dimly along the base of a circular pit. It was particularly wide and sat just a little bit above the ground. To the right of it is a chain linked to a set of billows which would, no doubt, coax the coals into life, should heat be needed. Adjascent to it was a narrow rectangular basin filled with murky water, and an anvil and sharpening wheel not too far away. You were drawn to the man working on a sharp implement at the anvil. He was...well, short. He was about 4 foot high and no taller, with small stubby legs and arms, but an unnaturally long body. He looked canine in posture and nature, with a mixture of white and cream fur covering his body in places, with what looked to be occasionnal flecks of a darker auburn. You remember this kind of canine being reffered to as a 'Corgi'. He's dressed in a dirty brown apron and a set of cloth pants, but his top remains bare, save for the apron itself. He didn't seem to see you approach at first, and when he turned his head to see you, he mildly jumped. A hand ran over his forehead and he straigthened up a little, dumping his anvil on the bench nearby and dusting his hands together. "Good afternoon!" His voice was gruff, and his expression was cocky, but his height made it hard to take him seriously. He waddled his way over to you with a rather brisk swagger until he was standing not too far away from you. He snapped out his hand, and you awkwardly shook it. "The name's Hans," He greets you kindly and takes a step back again. "I run the Smithy. You need armor, I got it. Or weapons too. But, uh...you don't seem the type. Your wolf might work though." He shrugs at you, leaving you with the option of purchasing whatever you like, or even talking to him. He seems happy to drop what he's doing to cater to your needs.

You head up the wooden steps and find the Corgi bent over the forge, twisting a sword around in the hot coals. He perks up when he hears your weight creaking the wooden steps, and turns his head to see you. His smile widens. "$name! Great to see you." He seems pleased, and steps away for a moment, pulling you into a quick hug. "What can I do for you?" [[Purchase equipment for Kami.->SBSK]] [[Purchase equipment for yourself.->SBSC]] [[Get to know Hans.->SBSH]] [[Leave.->ScarHub]]](elseif:$SBSV is 1)[Knowing that the Blacksmith was in town, you make your way over, and Kami trotting along behind you and sniffing along the ground. You step up the wooden steps and glance over to the anvil and stove, and you spot Hans bent over the sharpening wheel. You can see sparks flinging off the blade, but they abruptly stop when Hans realises you're waiting for him to finish. He turns around towards you and he grins over at you. "Ah, it's you. Hey," He smiled over at you and placed the blade back down. "What can I do you for this time?"

Unlike Holstien, the Scarhaven Inn is a lot, lot quieter than you had expected. Though it seems to be a little more consistent in it's patrons. It's currently [$DN]time. (if:$DN is "day")[The Inn is packed with a variety of people eating food and drinking mead. You catch a few adventurers skulking about, but it's mostly quite empty bar from them. A number of tables are empty. The bartender sits up at the counter, and a bounty board sits at the far end. You also remember seeing some stables outside. An unknown, white-furred child sits in the far corner.

Whilst there were adventurers around during the day, they were also accompanied by a number of farmers who were spending some of their saved coins on a few beers of their own. A number of the people serving drinks seemed to be dressed rather lavishly, deliberately exposing their stomachs and wearing short shorts to expose their legs. It was no surprise most of them were female. The bartender stands at the counter serving drinks. A bounty board sits at the far end. You remember seeing some stables outside too.

(if:(history:) contains "SBaF" or "SBaB")[You're back at the barracks. It's about as busy as you expected it to be, no matter what time of the day it is. There always seems to be people who aren't on shift, and people who are. Either way, you have your options before you. You can tell the guards are giving you some suspicious looks, but you can understand that. Very rarely would a child wander into a guardsmen's barracks unnanounced. But you're here for a reason, surely. Kami is waiting outside, so you shouldn't keep him waiting too long, you think.](else:)[The barracks. (if:(history:) contains "SBSHf")[That's where Hans said Frederick was.](else:)[<!--Do Nothing--!>] The building sits on the far outskirts of town, nestled adjascent to a large watchtower. As you approach, you peer up and see a man staring down at you and Kami, eyeing you up as you make your way towards the barracks. He looks decidedly wary. You can only assume this is because of Kami. Wolves aren't considered to normally be so docile and domesticated usually. You can understand why they are a little apprehensive. You step up to the barrack doors, which appear unguarded, and you swing open the door into the Barrack's interior. Kami decides it's likely better to wait outside whilst you have a look around. You're standing in what is effectively the 'lobby' of the Barrack themselves, which isn't much, to sya the least. There are a number of benches with stools either side of them, where a number of guards seem to sit on their break. There is a set of doors at the back, likely bathrooms, and another door which seems to be labelled. You recognise the name: *Captain Frederick Gaines.* You ponder whether it's a good idea to go in and see him or not.] [[Go to the Captain's Door.->SBaF]] [[Go to the bathroom.->SBaB]] [[Leave.->ScarHub]]

(if:$DN is "day")[You decide to explore a little whilst the sun is still high in the sky. There isn't much for you to be exploring in such a small town, but you're admittedly a little curious. You make your way around the back of the house and stop, surprised at what you find. (if:(history:) contains "FMBc12" or "FMBc22")[You pause and are greeted to the sight of Dillan, a rather slimly built, cream and black furred Fox who you've seen, and possibly molested, on a number of occasions. You don't know much about the boy, but he seems to urinate a lot. He's leant against the back of the house, peeing towards the ground once more. His gaze drifts up and his eyes widen when he sees you. You can see his cheeks growing flushed. "H-Hey." He grins awkwardly in response, and a wide grin spreads across your face.

Many of them will be sleeping. Perhaps you should do, instead of skulking about. [[Head back.->ScarHub]]]

"Stuff for your dog, is it? No worries, take a look. I don't have a lot in at the moment, but give me a while and I can probably make some new things for you, in time." Hans takes a step to the side and digs around in a large chest, digging out a number of different items, setting them out on the bench for you to see. Kami trotted forwards and sniffed around them, having a look for himself.

Hans wrinkles his nose. "Ah, sorry kid. I don't think I have anything in your size, and I'm kinda backed up on orders. Why don't you come back another time? I might have something for you then." [[Say goodbye.->ScarHub]]

Hans seems a little surprised that you want to get to know him, but he's not about to turn down the offer of talking about himself, either. He wipes his hands through a cloth towel hanging over the edge of the nearby wooden railing, and then slipped down onto the seat in front of the sharpening wheel. "You...want to know about me?" Hans scratched his head, his large Corgi ears flicking from the touch. You nod in agreement, and he wrinkles his snout, resting his elbows on his knees. "Well, uh, alright. What do you wanna know?" [[Ask him about his job.->SBSHc1]] [[Ask him about his personal life.->SBSHc2]] [[Ask him about his sexual life.->SBSHc3]] [[Ask him about his height.->SBSHc4]] [[Say goodbye.->ScarHub]]

You ask Hans about his job, and he sports a grin. Clearly, talking about his work seems to give him some sort of vigor, because he gets to his feet and starts explaining. "My Daddy owned this smithy before me, and his daddy before that, and his before that. Generations and generations of my family have been working with metal." Hans definitely seemed to take pride in his work, and you could feel that passion from where you were standing. He placed his hands on his hips, and you try not to giggle at his childish his stance appears. "My father was an amazing metalsmith, but unfortunately, he passed a couple of years ago." Hans' confident demeanour faltered a little, before he quickly recuperated. "I didn't quite get to learn everything he knew, but I'm slowly beginning to learn myself. I supply the metalwork for the village, the barracks, and even some of the weapons used in the Empire's Militia up at Holstein." You're mildly impressed. [[Ask him about his personal life.->SBSHc2]] [[Ask him about his sexual life.->SBSHc3]] [[Ask him about his height.->SBSHc4]] [[Ask him about Frederick.->SBSHf]] [[Say goodbye.->ScarHub]]

You ask the Corgi about his personal life, and Hans wrinkles his nose. "Kind of a weird thing to ask, kid. But, uh...well, why don't you tell me about you, first? Then it don't seem to one-sided." If Kami was up for talking to you at the moment, you were sure he'd advise leaving out the entire story of how you gained powers from a god. Instead, you opt to resort to a more simple story: you are a farmer boy, and you've raised Kami since you were a pup, and you're leading a life of adventure with your trusty companion. "You, uh, don't look like much of a fighter, kid. If you need some gear for your dog, lemme know. I have some in stock." Hans suggested. "As for me..." He continued. "There ain't much to tell. I've worked here all my life. Parents have passed now-- plague got 'em-- but I get by. Since a lot of people need me to do metalwork, I tend to make quite a bit on the side, so I just use it to spruce up the home." It makes an awful lot of sense to you. Hans seems like a good guy.

(if:$HansF is true)[A wide grin spread over Hans' face, and he stepped a little closer to you. "Heh. I think you know what my sex life is like, don't you?" His fingers coil around your hand and he holds you tenderly. You can feel his passion from here. Maybe you can stay a little (link:"longer.")[(goto:"SBSHSS")]](else:)[Hans snorted. "Kid, you're...like, what...$age? Maybe more? Ask me about that when you're older. Or, maybe when I at least know you better." Good point.

Hans' expression visibly sours and he stares straight at you. You have a feeling you shouldn't have said it, but then his sullen glare twists back into a toothy grin. "I know I'm short, but chicks find me cute, and that means I'm already at an advantage over sweaty adventurers. Pretty good, right? Don't worry 'bout offending me, kid." You're thankful he wasn't angry, but you know better than to keep prodding. He might insist it doesn't bother him, but he might just be putting on a brave face.

(if:$HansF is true)[Kami knows where this is going. He bows to the pair of you and steps away, trotting down the steps to wait. The Corgi leans into you a little, nuzzling against your chest. "I'm glad you came back. I missed you." He murmured, and you curl your arms around him. You've missed him too, of course. He's a rather lovely little canine. "So, uh...you wanna...?" Hans trailed off and traced a finger along your chest, his other hand curling around your rump. You sport a particularly cheeky grin. You might have time.](else:)[You apply a little bit of pressure, and Kami seems to realise where this kind of thing is going. Rather than joining in, he opted to back out and trotted off around the smithy patio, sniffing around the metalwork. Hans awkwardly rubs his hands together sliding his palms over the top of his hands as you try to press for information on his sex life. You can see him getting visibly nervous, and at first, you don't know why. The reason becomes quickly apparent, however. "Well, s'just, y'know. I've had my fair share, but not...had my fair share?" He awkwardly grinned, and you quickly understood: he wasn't being truthful about his sexual activities. In fact, it was likely that he was a virgin, but he didn't seem willing to confirm it. So, you continue with a simple question, and ask if he's interested. Hans clearly hesitates and blinks right at you, gulping nervously. "You're, uh...just a kid, kid." He points out, and whilst he's correct, it hasn't stopped people before.] [[Make a move.->SBSHSS2]] [[Back off, for now.->ScarHub]]

(if:$HansF is true)[You decide to make a move, and Hans seems glad that you decided to do so. As you apply pressure, he takes a step back, and curls his arms around you. "Well, you don't need to seduce me this time. I'm already into you. Uh, even if you are a kid." He grins awkwardly before pressing his head into your chest, nuzzling against your $skin. He strokes your chest, planting sweet kisses against your body. He's a very loving, sweet man, and you find it incredibly endearing. You run your hands over his body. (if:$h is 3.5)[You're shorter than him, and he seems to enjoy dominating you, considering he's the taller one.

Stepping closer to the Corgi, you watch as Hans begins to tense as you approach, until the two of you are mere inches from one-another. You try you best to appear to be 'seducing' him, but you're not well versed in that sort of thing. Your fingertips slide along his chest and stomach and you can feel him quivering slightly under your touch. His breath seems to grow heavy, but you try not to make him too nervous. If he really *was* a virgin, he'd need a little coaxing. Hans's eyes run up and down your body, and you note that he's guaging the height of the two of you together.

Hans looks decidedly nervous, so you decide it's best that you take the lead. You grapple him by the waist, coaxing him over towards the coal pit, and the two of you hover by the edge of the circular, stone forge. [[Continue.->SBSHSS2l]]]

Hans definitely appeared to be a little more confident in his sexual prowess when he was dealing with someone of a much smaller caliber. Your $h foot body must be easy on the eyes, because his pudgy Corgi hands run over your $skin, stroking along your hands and around under your thighs. "You're a pretty cute $species." He remarked absently as his hands toyed with the hem of your loose tunic, and one of his hands strayed underneath it. You felt the weight of his fingertips right up against your nethers, and your squirmed against the touch, rolling your head back as his head descended to kiss along your neck. His hands moved and shifted, spreading your legs apart so that he could stand between them, whilst he tugged and pulled at your clothes, eager to get to the flesh and $skin underneath. His fingers dug into your $skin and stroked across your $body form until his fingers finally settled on the waistline of your underwear. Part of you should have mentioned the two of you were out in the open, but the thought of being caught and the thought of aiding the Corgi in losing his virginity in public was something altogether more thrilling, so you held your tongue. You wriggled as your underwear slipped down and you shifted, raising you legs up and watching the undies slide up and past your ankles. Hans didn't bother to undress fully, leaning down against your body as he shifts and adjusts his own clothes. He tugs at the string holding the apron to his body and tosses the main flap over his shoulder, exposing a tuck-ed in stomach and a prominent bulge in his cloth pants. All he does is pull the string that keeps his pants up, and they tumble to the floor, exploring a short, 5 inch humanoid cock that's throbbing and aching. What he lacks in length, he clearly makes up for in thickness. [[Continue.->SBSHSS2s2]]

You could tell Hans was nervous. The way his hands touched your body were methodical and calculated, and the way they lightly trembled against your $skin told a story in itself. Slowly, you curl your hands over his for a moment before you reach foward to touch him in turn. Despite his rugged appearance and rather difficult job, his fur is delicately smooth, and you slide your fingers through his fur, feeling him gently quiver and tense under your touch. Slowly, his head leans forward, and you mve your own head to join his. Your faces are inches away within a matter of moments, and his furred mouth tails over your neck, grazing your $skin. Eventually, his lips trail up, and your own lips meet his. If this is what he meant by 'slow', then it was working. He let out a small groan as he leant into that kiss, and you curled an arm around his waist, dragging him closer to you. He arches his back and presses his chest up into yours. His tongue slips from his mouth, and you push out your own to meet his. The sensation of your tongues touching together makes you skin prickle with desire. His hands slide down around your waist and you feel his fingers slip underneath the hem of your tunic, fondling around your hips. You shift a little closer to him and feel his finger slipping into the waistband of your underwear. You do the same, sliding a hand along his inner thigh underneath his apron and dragging it up to his crotch. You can feel just how hard he is already. [[Continue.->SBSHSS2m2]]

"Are you sure about this? It's still kinda hot." You could tell that Hans was decidedly nervous, and he seems to practically melt in your hands. Maybe he considered being manhandled by a taller man a fetish, or maybe he was just naturally intimidated, but his submissive expression and the way he wriggled in your grip was endearing, and you wanted more. Slowly, you push against his chest, and he wobbles, planting his hands on the rim of the forge and nervously leaning back a little. You can both feel the heat of the forge behind you, and the Corgi looks as if he's beginning to sweat, trying to be careful not to get burned. "Hey, c-careful!" Hans complained, but your hands were already ducking underneath his apron, tugging at his cloth pants. They shuffled and slipped past his rump and you pulled them off his ankles, tossing them to the floor. You stepped close and Hans shrank away from you, nervousl grinning as you towered over your almost naked form. Your hands duck under his knees and spread his legs, his apron draping down between his thighs and covering his nethers from view. You quickly toss it aside, and watch his cheeks redden as his member is exposed to the open. His humanoid cock is only about 5 inches in length, but it looks deliciously thick and rock hard, twitching against his stomach. (link:"Fuck him.")[(set:$SBSHSSc to 1)(goto:"SBSHSS2l2")] (link:"Fuck his feet.")[(set:$SBSHSSc to 2)(goto:"SBSHSS2l2")]

"You ready?" Hans shuffled forwards until his hips were bumping up against your behind, and you tense up a little, feeling the thick head of hiscock prodding and poking between your cheeks. One of his hands slips under your knee, holding your leg up whilst the other dipped under your tunic again. Now that you were lacking underwear, the touch of his bare hand against your $fcock was thrilling, and you squirm gently under his touch. "Your $skin is so soft." Hans murmured, leaning his hips forward. You felt his member sliding around your rump as he attempted to find his mark. Eventually, the head of his fat cock squished up against your taut pucker, and you tensed up, taking in a deep breath. You knew he'd likely stretch you to your limit, but the goofy look on his face and how excited he appeared was clearly worth it. Slowly, the Corgi pushed forwards, and he let out a groan, his body trembling from the pleasure. Your muscles squeezed against the head of his intruding member, and as the cock sunk further and further down, your muscles gripped tighter and tighter. Hans' stumpy tail wiggled left and right happily as he pushed his hips forward, bucking against your behind, whilst your rump scooted along the avil with each thrust. "Hah...oh god..." Hans panted harshly, his tongue lolling from his mouth as his cock slid back and forth. The rather dry thrusting was becoming wetter and wetter with each passing second, until the air was filled with the hot, wet squelches of his dick sliding in and out of you. His hands dug into your flesh and ran across your $skin, whilst a spare hand openly fondled your member. You were already fully erect, your $cock member pulsing and twitching against his fingers. [[Continue.->SBSHSS2s3]]

Hans leant his head down, gently groaning under his breath with each pleasurable thrust, until his face was inches from yours. You let out a gentle groan of pleasure, rolling your head back. Each thrust of his hips send spikes of pleasure throughout your body, and your cock twitched and pulsed, aching, needy. "I'm..." Hans trembled and let out a small whimper, his thrusts growing desperate and irregular. His lips pushed down and pressed against yours as he let out a gentle, high-pitched moan through your kiss. His fingers dug into your flesh as he slid his member as deep as he could. His balls pressed up against your rump as his member pulsed and throbbed inside you. Your muscles clamped down and squeezed, and that was enough to send him over the edge. His lips parted against yours as his tongue slid against your own, and he let out a shaky, pleasurable groan of pure and utter ecstasy. He orgasmed inside of you, his member pulsing and spurting thick ropes of cum into your most intimate parts. His muscles relaxed and his breathing grew heavy and slow as he flopped down against your, his stumpy tail wiggling and wagging. "Oh, fuck...I've waited so long for that." He murmured quietly, and you wrap your arms around his neck, tugging him close and giving him a warm cuddle. He nestles against you for a moment, before he clears his throat, taking a step back. His member slid out of you with a lewd, wet noise, and he stared down at his cum-coated cock. He tugged up his pants. "I, uh-- that was a little spontaneous. I'm glad no-one saw us." Despite his regret at where you have decided to get raunchy, he had clearly enjoyed himself, and a goofy grin spread across his face. He stepped closer and kissed your forehead. "Come back anytime. Uh...'babe'?"(set:$HansF to true) [[Get dressed and leave.->ScarHub]]

"Yes..." Hans groans against your quietly, his fingers tugging down against your underwear, and you slightly sit up a little, letting the Corgi push your underwear around your rump, exposing your $fcock. You try to do the same, but it's difficult with his apron covering his entirely body. He seems to realise this, and he ducks his head for a moment, pulling the neck strap over his head, and letting his apron fall around his lap. He tugs the apron down and lets it tumble to the floor. Your admire his chest for a moment, reaching up a hand and stroking along his fluffy white and cream fur. Your fingers trace along one of his nipples and he tenses, closing his eyes and groaning against your from the touch. Soon, your hand descends, and you pull at his cloth pants, feeling the string loosen as you pull it taut. "Please." Hans begs quietly, guiding your hand to his stiff, aching member, and you prize the cloth pants apart to expose it completely. You stare down at his humanoid member and curl his hands around the head of his member, peeling his foreskin back. He's only about 5 inches, but marvellously thick, and definitely a little sticky. You can tell he's pent up. "Oh god..." He practically trembles under your touch, and his hand reaches down to fondle and stroking your $fcock, coaxing it into life. Soon enough, your $cock member is growing with each passing second, getting larger and larger. [[Continue.->SBSHSSm3]]

The two of you press and lean against each other, your lips brushing against each other as your tongues touch. Both of your movements are delicate and soft, with each touch soft and tempered with passion. Your skin is practically crawling with desire, your loins aching for more. "Yes..." The Corgi murmured quietly, his humanoid cock pulsing within your small hands, thobbing and pulsing against your fingertips. His hand hand quickly strokes up and down your $cock member.

Hans groaned quietly and kissed your lips with an intense passion as his cock pulsed against your fingers, and you felt the thick, gooey viscous seed dripping down against your fingers, an arc travelling through the air and splattering against the floor. Soon enough, you were orgasming too.

You're already getting particularly aroused and hardening from the sight before you, so it took little effort for you to probe his entrance with the tip of your cock. You angle your head down to spit down on your member, quickly sliding the spittle around as a makeshift lube. "Maybe you should take it slow." Hans suggested, grinning awkwardly as you tease his entrance with your member, sliding the spittle across you taut, pink pucker. Eventually, you push, and he tenses up, before trying to loose and accommodate for the intrusion. He lets out a quite little whimper, his cheeks growing flushed, and you can easily guess he's never done this before.

You didn't catch much of his feet, but you noticed when he stood that the heel pressed down to the floor. your fingers trace up the soft, fluffy fur on the sole of his foot until your fingers graze along his pink pawpad.

Your other hand trails down to grip his ankle, dragging his foot towards your face. Your lips budy themselves between his toepads and pawpads, your nose sliding between the creases of his toes. The smell wasn't something that interested you, but they were so delightfully warm and intoxicating.

A groan escaped his lips and his muscles clamp down around your cock, squeezing and milking your member as his cock spurts this ropes of cum, splattering in pools on his stomach and dripping down onto the stone beneath him.

You ask him about Frederick. He is the feline who you met just after the Animal outbreak in the forest, and he'd asked you to come find him.

I'm surprised you know him, honestly. How do you, exactly?" You tell him that you met him after the animal attacks. You off-handedly say that you took part in the skirmish, and Hans widens his eyes. "Oh, right. Well, yeah. I've known him since he was a lil' kid. He was older than me, of course, but he's a nice guy. Just ask at the barracks. If he's not in, he's on patrol."

You kind of need to go to the bathroom, so you make your way through the benches and chairs and stand in front of the two doors. Now that you're up close, you can see that they are what you thought they were. A little figure is etched into each door. It's not as civil as you had expected. In fact, the drawings are quite crude: one is depicted with it's legs spread and a large appendage between it's legs, whilst the other is depicted with a rather large bust. You shouldn't expect that much civility from guardsmen, but still. You step into what you can only assume is the Men's bathroom, given the depiction. You find the small room to be a little cramped, but there is at least some decency within it. On the right hand side is a long counter with 3 sinks spaced on it's surface, set into the wood, for a man to was his hands. Opposite the sinks are wooden cubicles with a door on each. You take a step towards one of the open doors, and you quietly push it open. The door creaks as it swings ajar, and you're greeted to the sight of a small bench with a single wooden hole on it. Bathrooms were a little rudimentary, especially within the more rural areas of Orbath. (if:$DN is "day")[As you begin to close the door behind you, you find the door gets stuck. You frown after a moment and look down, and your eyes widen when you realise there is a boot stopping the door from closing. A hand curls around the door frame and it's forcibly pushed open. You take a step back and your eyes widen at the sight of a well-built reptile standing in front of you. He's covered in armour, of course, but he's lacking his helmet. He stares down at you with sharp yellow eyes, his scales a miture of blue and black. You're a little scared. His gaze seems angry. (if:$age is <=12)[He takes one look at you, and his angry expression turns into a wide, happy grin. He takes a step into the cubicle and shuts the door behind him. Your heart is pounding in your chest. This is an uncomfortable situation. "Hey, uh, kid...can you do something for me?" The reptile asks it rather casually, and you hesitate. When you don't answer, he continues. "I'm...uh. Look, can I drink your pee? Please? God, I love it so much, I..." He trails off and looks a little nervous, but you can see he's eager to get his hands on you. You're not too sure yourself.

Now that you're certain that you're a Vulpine, or a Fox as most people would call you, you give yourself a complex look over, despite that dingy little mirror. Similar to a canine, you're covered in rich, fluffy fur. However, unlike a canine, you feel lighter, more agile. Your muzzle is a little more pronounced and leaner, and your nose feels sensitive. You stretch out your limbs and stare down at your feet, wiggling your 4 toes. Your hands seem humanoid enough, and sticking out of your backside is a lovely, bushy tail. You guess the colour of your body to be... (link:"The epitome of 'natural': a mixture of white, auburn, and black.")[(set:$skin to "fur")(set:$sc to "natural")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A pure and pristine white.")[(set:$skin to "fur")(set:$sc to "white")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A deep, rich black.")[(set:$skin to "fur")(set:$sc to "black")(goto:"Age")] (link:"A peculiar combination of greys.")[(set:$skin to "fur")(set:$sc to "grey")(goto:"Age")]

Reluctantly, you agree, and the Reptile's eyes widen in delight. He scoots down onto his knees in front of you, his eyes wide, and you anxiously begin to slid down your underwear. However, his hands were already upon you, and you briefly wince, pushing your hand down on his head as his snout forces his way underneath your tunic. You immediately feel his tongue against you. The reptile's tongue rolls around your $fcock and your wriggle, his fingers curling against his scales. You know what he's after, and he knows what he wants too. A hand shoots up to your body and you feel his thumb pushing into your pelvis, right where you bladder would be. Your wince and groan, feeling him practically forcing you to do it. You can't help yourself. Your knees wobble and tremble as the thumb digs into your $skin and you let out a shaky breath as you suddenly begin to urinate. The Reptile's mouth closes down around your $fcock and suckles sweetly. You can hear the audible gulps as the reptile swallows down your piss with gusto, and you wriggle a little, your cheeks growing flushed. The stream inevitably ended, and for a moment, the reptile didn't let up, pushing his mouth down and worming his tongue around your $fcock for a moment, before he finally pulled back, licking his snout happily. "Thanks." He slowly got up, and you can notice the tenting in his pants. He doesn't make you see to it, but he does ruffle your head for a moment, before stepping out of the cubicle. Just like that, he leaves you in peace. Weird. [[Leave.->ScarBarracks]]

You decide that you want to knock on the door and wake him up. You hop up the steps of the patio and Kami reluctantly follows you, feeling bad for doing this. You curl your hand into a fist and you knock briskly on the door of the smithy. You stand there and waiting, hearing a rustling going on from inside. After a moment, you hear the dull 'thunk' of a lock, and the handle of the door turns. It swings open, revealing the smithy himself. (if:$HansF is true)[Hans stands in the doorway. he looked initially irritated, but a smile brimmed across his face when he saw you. He tugged you inside, and Kami followed suit, shutting the door behind you. "It's good to see you. I'm surprised you came so late, though." Hans remarked, dressed in nothing but a small pair of boxers. His house is rather quaint: small, but definitely with a few luxuries. The room is pitch black, and the fire remains still and cold. "You wanna join me?" Hans asked quietly, and you stare at him, grinning from cheek to cheek. [[Sleep with him.->SBSHn2]] [[Say you have to leave.->ScarHub]]](elseif:$HansF is false)[Standing there is a small-built Corgi, roughly 4 foot tall. His fur looks a little ruffle and he's only wearing a pair of boxers shorts. He's clearly not pleased that you woke him up. "Kid, it's the middle of the night. Come back later." He grunted, and stepped back, slamming the door shut. You blink in surprise, but expected no less. [[Leave.->ScarHub]]]

Hans seems pleased, and he leads you over towards the bed. The two of you clamber in, and you quickly undress, leaving your tunic to the side. Kami remains within the living room and settles down on one of the armchairs whilst you and Hans get more acquainted. "I can't really do much tonight." Hans apologised. "I've got to be up early. But...it's nice to be with you." He puts a hand on your chest, and leans in for a moment. You lower your head down and the two of you gently kiss, your lips moulded against one-another, as if they were made for each other. (if:$h is 3.5)[With that, he turns you over, and your back gets pressed up into his chest. His small arms curl around you and he cuddles into your from behind, his nose pressed into your neck.

Um, like that. Am I...fucked up?" Hans quietly asked, and you sigh. You tell him that it doesn't matter who he likes. Hans is quiet for a moment, before he sighs. "I love you." You love him too. [[Get some sleep.->SBSHn3]]

(set:$DN to $DNO)(set:$DNO to $DNO2)(set:$DNO2 to $DN)Night turns to day, and the sunlight slowly filters in through the window, coaxing you from your slumber and into the waking world. As you move, you find that Hans isn't next to you. He did say he had to work early, after all, so you're not surprised to find him not in bed. Slowly, you sit up, rubbing your temple and crawling out of bed. The house is quiet. Kami begins to stir and get up when he hears you padding about, and he quickly joined you as you started to get dressed. Now that you've pulled on your tunic, you make your way outside. You turn the corner and see Hans working away on the forge, banging away on a sword by the anvil. He looks particularly stressed. You make your way up to him and he perks his head up as you approach. A wry smile spreads across his face. "Hey babe." He smirked a little bit, and he stepped away from the anvil. "I'm a lil' busy today hun. But, come by anytime. I'll always be happy to see you." He tugged you closer and leant closer, planting a kiss upon your lips. Your curl your arms around him and cradle him for a moment, before you step away and say farewell. [[Leave.->ScarHub]]

As you step into Frederick's office, you turn to get a better look at him. You hadn't seen much of him the first time you'd met within the guardsmen tent on the outskirts of town, but you could easily get a better look at him now. He was more like a domestic cat than any predatory feline, and his rich hues of grey and blue made him look elegant and serene. Atop his head with a short collection of white fur, styled into some sort of 'stuck up' hair. You could tell it was fur, but it seemed to be dyed. "I'm glad you came. I wasn't sure if you'd ever come to Scarhaven. I take it you spoke to Hans?" You nod. (if:$HansF is true)[You decide you'd better not tell him what you and Hans got up to.](elseif:$HansF is false)[Hans was a nice man to talk to. Maybe you should get to know him more.] "Yeah. Hans is a good guy. Anyway, uh, the reason I called you here..." He took a seat behind his rich mahogany desk, placing his hands together and watching you with a suspicious gaze. "I'm not an idiot, of course. You have some sort of magic, something similar to that man in the woods. I saw him. I knew what he could do. Would you mind filling me in on the details?" You hesitate. You know what Kami would say in this situation. (link:"Tell him the truth.")[(set:$SBaFc to 1)(goto:"SBaF3")] (link:"Lie. (50% Chance.)")[(set:$SBaFc to 2)(goto:"SBaF3")]

(if:$SBaFc is 1)[You roughly explain to Frederick what happened. You tell him about your powers, how you inherited them, and how you were able to stop the animals from going out of control.

I wont judge you based upon your abilities." He spoke calmly, and you're thankful he understands. "You might buy it, but I don'!" Neither you nor Frederick had uttered a word, and yet, someone had spoke.

No taller than 2 foot, the strange beast was covered in bluish-red skin, bordering on purple, with a notable pot belly, a rounded head with a small nose and large horns and ears, thin arms and legs ending in rather large hands and feet.

"Don't trust him, sire. That kid's a lying little shit." You feel your skin go cold. You realise now that you lied rather badly, and that Frederick and his creature had seen right through it. Both of them narrow their eyes at you, and your feel your heartbeat quicken. "Now's the time to tell the truth, $name. I understand you might have be scared for your wellbeing, but trust me, whatever secrets you hide are safe here." You blow a small sigh and give Frederick all the necessary details, from your powers and abilities, down to the strange man in the woods and how you stopped the creatures from destroying Scarhaven. Frederick nods and listens, occasionally glancing to thee creature, who nodded in turn. "I apologise for Pren's behaviour. Imps can be a little eccentric and often speak their mind, and he's still not used to listening to commands." Imp. Demon. That makes a little more sense to you. You apologise as well for lying, but Frederick doesn't seem to mind. "I can understand why you were anxious to tell me. Regardless, you did save out lives that day, and I require your aid again. Please come to me if you get any more information on this strange man. Otherwise, please come to me if you have any questions. I might be able to point you in the right direction."

"Ignore Pren. He's always a little wary of strangers." Pren. That's the name of the tiny creature sitting before you, and he stares right into your soul with his dark eyes, the black irises staring into your own. You feel a little uncomfortable with his gaze. He doesn't stare for long, if only to do something entirely different. He leaps at you, and you let out a yelp of surprise, covering your face with your hands. His own large hands hook around your wrists and he flings himself around your body, his feet planting into your back as he straddles your frame, holding tightly onto your shoulders. You're not sure what he's doing at first, but then he takes a deep sniff on your hair. "...Alright, fine. He's a Magister, alright. That scent is particularly palpable." Pren remarked after a moment, and you blow a small sigh of relief. The strange creature lets go of you and scoots back towards Frederick, who looks a little apologetic. "Sorry. Pren is...a little unorthodox. Imps normally are." A demon. That, you didn't expect, but you didn't press for information, nor did you judge. Regardless, Frederick took a seat, looking grim. "Thank you for the information, $name. For now, I would appreciate if you could come to me with any other information you might have on this man in the future. Otherwise, feel free to come to me if you have any questions." [[Thank him and leave.->ScarBarracks]]

"Trust me, Sire, this kid is a lying son o' a gun. He's got Magister written all over him." You feel your skin go cold, and Frederick frowned, staring you down, he snaps his gaze to Pren, the creature, who doesnt take his eyes off you. "I trust the child. He would not lie." Seems like Frederick bought your lie, which is good, but the creature seems a little infuriated about it. Frederick slaps the beast's head and Pren whimpers. "Ignore Pren. He can be a little eccentric. Most Imps are. Regardless, you seem to have helped us a great deal with the animal attack, so I want to employ your help once again, if you'll accept." You nod immediately, happy to help, and Frederick seems pleased, sinking into his seat. "Come to me if you garner any further information on this strange man in the woods. Otherwise, please come to me with any questions you may have. I might be able to point you towards any leads I might have." [[Thank him and leave.->ScarBarracks]]

You ask Frederick about Scarhaven, and he tilts his head in surprise. "This ol' place? It's just a simple country town. We supply food to the capital as taxes and to some towns around us, but we mostly keep to ourselves. We're not like Seahome just Northeast of here: poor bastards are quite literally the bypass up to The Bridge, so they get a lot of traffic." "Just about the only thing to make out town a little more lively than usual is Hans, but even then, they only ever come once a month. There's honestly not much to tell." You're not surprised that there's little to say on the town. Part of you was just curious. [[Ask about Frederick and his personal life.->Frc2]] [[Ask about Pren.->Frc3]] [[Ask about any leads.->Frc4]] [[Say goodbye and leave.->ScarBarracks]]

You realise it was likely a rather personal subject, but nonetheless, you ask Frederick about himself. The feline pulls a sheepish grin, looking a bit uncomfortable. "Well, I enlisted in the army when I was 14, and I've served the Empire of the Silver Spire ever since. I rose from a simple soldier to Luitenant, then up to Corporal and finally Captain. They must have recognised my achievements, I guess." "They knew that I originally heralded from Scarhaven, so they placed me here as Captain of the guard. Since a lot of the Milita come through here to collect weaponry from the smithy and deposit materials and money as payment, it seems only natural that they'd leave a Captain here to make sure no idiotic thieves try to take any of the goods. Plus, Hans and I are old friends." That made a little bit of sense. Out of curiosity, you ask a little about Frederick's relationship with Hans. "Been friends since we were kids. Granted, I was a lot older than him at the same, by roughly about 6 or 7 years, but...well, there aren't a lot of kids in the town, so we stuck together like glue." That's pretty cute. [[Ask about Scarhaven.->Frc1]] [[Ask about Pren.->Frc3]] [[Ask about any leads.->Frc4]] [[Say goodbye and leave.->ScarBarracks]]

The minute the Imp's name left your lips, that sword slipped from Frederick's scabbard once again, and it twisted in the air. With yet another *pop*, the Imp appeared, settling himself on the desk and spreading the 4 claws toes on either foot. "Long story," Frederick groaned. "Pren is an Imp that I contracted not too long ago. When things were going south with the animals in the forest, this little Imp offered his aid in exchange for a contract and some food now and again. I accepted and he's been in a pain in my ass ever since." "Hey, c'mon, I'm not that bad." Pren grunted, leaning his head up and staring up at the Feline. Frederick glared. "He can shapeshift into a few objects, but mostly weapons. Sword, bow, dagger...occasionally a throwing knife," Frederick loosely explained. "I just have to endure his often...innappropriate outbursts." "Hey, why haven't you bent this kid over the desk already? Aren't you some sort of closet pedophile?" Pren remarked absently, and Frederick delivered a sharp slap to the Imp's head, making him yelp. You try to not look too put off. The Imp winks at you, and you have a feeling he's hinting at something. [[Ask about Scarhaven.->Frc1]] [[Ask about Frederick and his personal life.->Frc2]] [[Ask about any leads.->Frc4]] [[Say goodbye and leave.->ScarBarracks]]

You ask Frederick if he has any leads on the strange man you saw in the Woods not too long ago. Frederick sighs and shakes his head. "Nothing yet, I'm afraid. Once I hear something, I'll let you know, but I haven't heard anything new." You understand. [[Ask about Scarhaven.->Frc1]] [[Ask about Frederick and his personal life.->Frc2]] [[Ask about Pren.->Frc3]] [[Say goodbye and leave.->ScarBarracks]]

You kindly accept the Imp's offer, and he smirks, stepping to the side and letting you in. You step through into the small office and hear the clunk as the wooden door shuts behind you. As soon as you turn around, and Imp is upon you, climbing up your front and gripping at your clothes. You stagger a little from his weight and shift a little, leaning against the side of the desk. "You're a sexy little kid, y'know that? I love fucking 'em." Pren remarks with a happy, cheeky grin, and he slides off your body, scooting up onto the nearest chair and dragging it closer. His fingers dig underneath your knes and hoist them up, spreading your wide. "I bet you have a cute little ass." You gather that the Imp loves to talk, but you don't bother to tell him to be quiet. You feel his large, dexterous hands around your underwear, and you feel them sleeping from your behind, the cool air of the office brushing across your $skin. Surprisingly, Pren didn't say a word, and you quickly realise why. His large hands squeezed your $sc $skin and spread your buttcheeks apart, his mouth descended down between your crack. You feel nothing for a moment, before the sensation of his tongue presses against your sensitive, taut pucker. [[Continue.->PrenSS2]]

The pleasure swims through your system and you let out a long groan of pleasure, rolling your head back. His tongue is surprisingly desxterou against your body, slurping and suckling against your sensitive flesh and stuffing his tongue deeper and deeper. Your $fcock pulses weakly against your stomach, growing steadily harder with each passing second. This Imp is doing a wonderful job on your backside. His tongue slides deeper and deeper into your behind, curling around your insides and poking against your sensitive flesh. You can feel him aiming for one particular spot, and he eventually finds it. A sharp spike of pleasure shoots up your spine and you let out a weak gasp, quivering and shudding from the sensation. His fingers knead into your buttcheeks, squeezing your flesh as his tongue worms back and forth, pushing against your prostate. Then, just like that, he pulled back. He clearly he other ideas in mind, and you quickly realise what: your eyes drift down between your legs and you stare down between the Imp's legs. Standing erect just underneath that bulging pot belly is a thick, throbbing humanoid cock. The Imp clasps his member with a hand and peeled back the bluish-red foreskin, revealing the head of his member and the oozing pre-cum leaking from it's tip. "Ready to get fucked, kid?" [[Continue.->PrenSS3]]

Pren doesn't really wait for you to tell him yes or no. He's already lining up against your behind and you feel the thick head of his member sliding around your entrance. You guessed him to be roughly 6 or 7 inches in length, something that was incrediblyimpressive, considering his height. You wriggle and close your eyes, letting out a small groan of pleasure as the member slides into your behind, sinking deeper and deeper. Your feel a skinned hand wrapping around your throbbing $cock member and giving it a firm squeeze, shooting sparks of pleasure up your spine. The Imp begins in on a rough, steady rhythm, pumping out half of his member, back and forth. Each thrust is accompanied by a eager little pant from the small Demon, and his hand irregularly jerks your member, pumping his hand back and forth. (if:$cock is "canine" or "dragon" or "fox")[Your knot swelled from the sensation as the side of his hand bounces off your bulbous base.](elseif:$cock is "feline")[Your barbs flare with each tug and yank, and you groan quietly, the pleasure making you tingle.](elseif:$cock is "humanoid")[His hand tugs back your foreskin and exposes your glans, coaxing pre-cum from the tip.](elseif:$cock is "reptile" or "avian")[His hand slides right from tip to base, pressing down against your $fcock and making you shiver in delight.] "Yeah, f-fuck, you're a tight little bitch..." The Imp pants eagerly and his cock slides deeper and deeper with each thrust, until he's practically hilting in you. You don't know if anyone outside can hear you, but the Imp quite clearly doesn't care whether he's loud or not. The air is filled with the hot, wet slaps of his thrusts, pre-cum splattering against your backside and dripping down onto the floorboards below. Who know Imps could mae so much mess? [[Continue.->PrenSS4]]

Each thrust gets wetter and wetter, and the Imp is beginning and groan and pant with gusto. "Y-Yeah, fuckin' slut, little whore for d...demon dick...!" The Imp clearly loved to dirty talk, and you let out a few whimpers and grunts of pleasure with each thrust and pump. The pre-cum splatters from your backside, dripping down. Even the Imp's pelvis is practically coated in that sweet, syrupy nectar. Then, just like that, he's orgasming. His thrusts slow but are just as violent and powerful as the last, but you can clearly feel a little more liquid than usual. You hear the thick, wet drips of cum seeping from your behind and splattering across the wooden boards. You let out a thick groan and feel the pleasure growing more and more. "Cum for me, bitch." The Imp teased, his hands working across your $cock member, pumping up and down. It didn't take long before your member swelled and the pressure in your loins was about to explode. You roll your head back and let out a long groan of pure ecstasy. Thick strings of cum shoot from the end of your member and splattering across the inside of the hem of your tunic, and around your stomach. You pant quietly, and Pren thrusts and pumps his member into you a few more times, before pulling back completely. His humanoid member hangs limply, coated in copious amounts of cum. "Damn..." He wipes his sweaty forehead, and he leans forward, kissing your chest. "Come back anytime, slut. Now get your undies on and leave." You guess that Pren isn't much for aftercare. You slowly pull up your underwear and limp out of the room, cum dripping down your thighs. [[Leave.->ScarBarracks]]

(if:$inv contains "Birdpup Feather")[As you approach the boy, he stops and raises his head, smiling over at you. "Howdy agian, $name. Enjoying yourself? I hope that feather comes in handy for you. Stay tuned for more exciting things in the future." This child seems to always speak in riddles. [[Leave.->ScarInn]]](else:)[You approach the strange, white-furred child sitting at the far end of the Inn, nestled into a chair. The strange boy is an unnaturally pristine white colour all over, with canine features. Strange feathers sprout from its forehead and cheeks. It wears a rather baggy tunic around it's body, but its upper arms are left exposed. Its hands are covered in a pair of gloves. You can't see much more below than that, but since you can't hear the gentle 'thunk' of boots on the floor, you guess that the child is also barefoot. Sitting right next to the strange cub is a rather hefty backpack filled with scrolls. "Oh, Howdy!" The boy snaps his head up and beams at you, displaying his rows of shiny white teeth. A large, fluffy tail wags behind him. "Enjoying yourself? I hope so! A lot of work was put into this." He continues, and you're a little confused. You have no idea what he's talking about. He doesn't elaborate at all, and reaches up to his head, plucking a feather from his forehead. Just like that, he hands it out to you. "Hope you enjoy the rest of your time here." He happily adds, and you take the feather from him with an awkward thanks. (if:$coin is <50)[He notices you're short on funds, somehow, and hands you a pouch of 100 coins as well, with a knowing wink. You thank him and take it.

You approach the bounty board. Magically, as you approach, the words seem to fade in your vision, making you unable to read what the scrolls and parchments say. "It's not ready yet." Quips a strange, white-furred child from next to you. He grins apologetically. "There will be eventually, but not right now. Come back later." [[Leave.->ScarInn]]

You step up to the counter and look up at the Innkeeper. Much like Dinus in Holstein, this Barkeep is rather tall. Only, this one is definitely more aquatic. You're greeted to the sight of a particularly large and well-built, muscled Shark. He doesn't seem to have a neck, his head simply stretching out into his shoulders and broad chest. His large, muscled arms work desxterously on polishing a glass. He doesn't seem to want to wear a top. "Welcome to Scarhaven, kid. The name's Wes. What can I do you for? If you want a room, it's 10 gold." [[Rent a room.->SIIK2]] [[Leave.->ScarInn]]

(if:$DN is "day")[You make your way out of the Inn and around the back towards the rather expansive stables. The stables were obviously used for travellers and likely for any horses used by the guardsmen around Scarhaven itself. You step into the large stables, which is essentially a wide corridor with a roof overhead, and various small fenced areas on either side. You count that there are 10 pens, but only 5 of them are being used. The rest are empty. The place is eeriely quiet. The animals seem oddly calm around you, and you can guess why. There's not much you can do here. [[Leave.->ScarInn]]](elseif:$DN is "night")[You make your way out of the Inn in the dark and around towards the stables. They're used for traveller's horses as well as horses for the guards around Scarhaven. You gather is might be quite busy. Out of the 10 fanced stables, 8 of them are packed with horses. Most of them are quiet, but you can hear the whinnying and neighing of a horse at the back. You go to investigate. The Horse is looking particularly unruly and anxious, and is snorting and stamping his hooves. You feel bad for him: he must be having difficult adjusting to a cramped stall. [[Use your Magic to calm him down.->HorseSS1]] [[Leave.->ScarInn]]]

(enchant: ?u, (text-style:'underline')) |u>[Birdpup Feather] A pristine white feather with a black tip. You're not sure what it's for, but you feel like it's important. As you hold it, you can head the giggling of a child in the back of your mind. Creepy.

(if:$coin is <10)[You ask the rent a room, and Wes grunts, holding out a hand. You hesitate and quickly realise you don't have the funds to even get a room for the night. The Shark glares for a moment, before shaking his head. He folds his arms and doesn't say a word, and you hang your head. You'll come back when you have money. [[Leave.->ScarInn]]](elseif:$coin is >=10)[You ask to rent a room, and the Shark grunts, leaning forwards. You place the coins on the table and he takes them from you, sliding back over to his side of the counter. (set:$coin to $coin - 10)(set:$RN to (random:1,5)) He slides out a key towards you, and you read the number on the top. $RN. "Try not to make a racket. Have a good $DN." He grunts as you, and you quickly thank him, making your way up to your room. [[Continue.->SIIKR]]]

You enter Room number $RN and step inside. You gather all of them are more or less the same. Scarhaven is a much smaller town than Holstein. These rooms are short and cramped, but it was enough to get by on. Kami trots into the room and turns to stare at you, sitting on his haunches and tilting his head. His tail thumps against the ground. |Kami>["What shall we do, Master?"] (link:"Rest for the $DN.")[(set:$DN to $DNO)(set:$DNO to $DNO2)(set:$DNO2 to $DN)(goto:"SIIKRS")] [[Ask Kami for sex.->KamiSS1]] [[Change Kami's Equipment.->SHKEquip]]

You decide to sleep, and Kami crawls into bed with you. Your curl you arms around him and spoon his soft-furred back, cuddling into his body. When he's without any armor, he's oddly fluffy. Eventually, sleep takes you. (set:$SHD to (random:1,3)) (if:$SHD is 1)[You dream that you're sitting in a field with flowers all around you. Deer and rabbits prance about the meadow and their merry acts bring a smile to your lips. Then, there is a sudden crack of lightning, and one of the deer is hit, fried to a crisp. You hear a cacophany of screams in your eardrums as the flowers around you begin to weapon. In the horizon above, you see a pair of glowing, massive green eyes. You wake up with a cold sweat.](elseif:$SHD is 2)[You dream that you're sitting with Kami in a house somewhere, like a village of some sorts. You are feeding him strips of meet by hand, and he seems to enjoy you doing so. Then, his head snaps up and he turns his head in another direction. You follow his gaze to see a mob of other wolves standing by the front door. Kami turns and walks with them, and you feel an encroaching darkness around you. You beg Kami not to leave you, but he walks out the door without looking back. You wake up, your eyes feeling teary and your pillow feeling damp.](elseif:$SHD is 3)[You dream that you're lying, spread-eagled, on a rock. Your wrists and ankles are bound, and you're unable to move. You snap your head up and realise that you're naked, your member erect and flopping against your stomach. From the side, you see something approach: a shady figure that you couldn't make out. You can see that it's short, and it suddenly straddles you, grabbing your dick and riding it with gusto. You let out groans of pleasure and little whimpers of fright, and after a moment, it's face becomes visible. It's you. You wake up, your emotions a mixture of confusion, fear, and arousal. Your erection is right up againts Kami's backside.] You slowly crawl out of bed and get dressed, making yourself look presentable. Kami wakes up as soon as you move and hops off of the bed, stretching himself out. |Kami>["Did you sleep well, Master?"] You're not sure. [[Head downstairs.->ScarInn]]

Kami falters when he watches you begin to approach the boy, and he hangs his head a little, worried that you might do something you regret. Of course, you're not the violent sort. You approach the boy, who stops urinating after a moment and turns to face you, taking a step back, looking a little concerned. You reach out with a hand and grab him, coaxing him a little closer, and he hesitates. The boy looks to only be 3 and a half foot tall. You guess him to be around 9 years old. Your hand drifts down his body and your fingers graze along his slightly wet foreskin, before you pinch it lightly between your finger and thumb. The young Fox trembles a little in your touch, scared for his life and confused about your actions. "Um...Mister $species, what're you doing?" The Fox boy quietly asks. "I gotta get home to my momma." You tell him to wait for a moment, your other hand drifting around his hip and cupping his rump, giving his lovely flesh a delightful squeeze. His body is pressed up against your $skin and you slide your fingers around his backside. The child seems a little confused, but he's much too polite to say no, anxiously leaning against your body and letting you do what you want. [[Continue.->FBM2]]

His behind is so delightfully soft, and you slide your digits between his cheeks, pressing against his taut entrance and kneading your fingers gently, slowly into his flesh. The cub lets out a small sigh and leans against your, standing up on his tiptoes and wriggling a little anxiously from your intrusive touch. He's not complaining at the moment, but that's likely because it doesn't hurt yet. "That feels funny." The cub mumbles, and you're certain it will. Your fingers press a little deeper and you find his mucles to be tight, but a little malleable. His muscles give way to your pushing fingers after a moment and you manage to sink the tips of your fingers into his behind. He winces against you, his knees knocking together. Your free hand spreads his rump as you return your fingers to your lips, slathering them in spittle. He grips into your tunic and hesitates as you drift your fingers back down, before he relaxed and lets your continue. Your fingers prod against his entrance again and your fingers sink into his behind, sliding deeper and deeper into his entrance. Inch after inch of your digits push into him and he struggles to accommodate you, his toes curling against the dirt. "O-Ow." He complains, but doesn't do much more than that. Eventually, two of your fingers are about halfway in him, and he lets out a shaky exhale. [[Fuck him.->FMBc1]] [[Let Kami fuck him.->FMBc2]]

You've grown impatient, and you decide that you want this boy before someone catches you. You coax him against the side of the house, pushing his chest up against the wooden side as your hands cup around his supple, boyish hips. Your $cock member slides up between his cheeks, and you tuck down your underwear so he can feel the full heat of your member. "What're you...?" He didn't quite understand at first, but he let out a weak gasp when he felt the tip of your member pushing against his taut entrance. (if:$cock is "humanoid")[The head of your thick member presses against your tight entrance and stretches it open, sinking deeper and deeper.](elseif:$cock is "avian" or "canine" or "dragon" or "reptile" or "fox")[The head of your member is rather slim, making your entry rather easy and not as painful as it would normally by, but as you sink deeper, you slowly begin to stretch him open, and he wriggles in discomfort.](elseif:$cock is "feline")[Your barbs flare against his entrance and you're desperate to stick yourself in him. After a moment, you push, stretching him open a little.] He was //deliciously// tight. Your $cock member slides right into his tight, stretchy asshole as he grunts and pushes against your, his feel digging into the dirt below you. Your larger hands squeeze his fleshy hips and a small groan of delight escaped your lips. Your begin to pick up speed, your member sliding back and forth inside the young boy's asshole, the air filled with the thick, wet slaps of your sex. "H-Hnn." The boy let out quiet grunts and you curl a hand around his body, tugging on his little flaccid member as you rigorously fuck his tight little ass. [[Continue.->FMBc12]]

You push your fingers out of the boy's behind as an idea dawns on you. Slowly, you glance towards Kami, who tilts his head in your direction, wondering why you're staring at him specifically. Slowly, you coax the Fox boy onto all fours, his knees pressing into the dirt. You raise the boy's tail and spread his cheeks, exposing his taut pucker to your very own dog companion. Kami looks a little surprised, but you can tell he's rather intrigued by the idea. Slowly, your Wolf companion trots forward, and his head dips down and sniffs against the Fox boy's behind, pressing his wet nose against the taut, sensitive pucker. He dragged his nose up and slathered his wide tongue on the boy's behind. The Fox quivered gently, groaning quietly under his breath. Kami wasn't as patient as you were. He immediately mounted the boy, curling his front paws around the cub and tightening his grip. His hips pushed up against the Fox's behind as his hips thrust powerfully back and forth. The tip of his member slid from his sheath and poked around the cub's behind, trying to find it's mark. You sit at the Fox boy's front end and hold into his arms, openly groping yourself as Kami thrusts and humps. Eventually, you get up onto your knees and jerk yourself off openly, the tip of your member smearing against the boy's lips. The Fox doesn't have the mental capacity to deal with the pleasure in his backside as well as service you. You don't mind too much. [[Continue->FMBc22]]

Your thrust continues and your breathing goes heavy, whilst Kami watches the pair of you. You briefly glance to the Wolf, and he doesn't look as worried as he did before, especially with how much the young boy was moaning in pleasure. You could even see your companions thick red rocket pulsing between his legs. You can feel the pressure within your loins building, and you begin to thrust a little more irregularly than before. You let out weak groans of delight, your eyelids fluttering. Your cock pulses and throbs. You're almost there. Just like that, you're cumming. (if:$cocke is "knot")[Your knot swells as your pump your cock against the boy's backside, the bulbous base slapping of of the boy's pucker.

You thrust as you cum, strings of cum spurting into the boy's behind and coating your member in the delicious fluids.] Your hand greedily fondles the boy's little flaccid cock, but he doesn't seem to get had. You chalk it down to his young age making him unable to cum, or maybe even get hard. The young boy groans quietly and you slowly slide back, withdrawing from the boy's behind. You pant tiredly, and the boy slowly turns to face you, his cheeks flushed. "I, uh..." The kid doesn't know what to say. "...I'm Dillan." You give him a quick pet on the head. You decide it's best to leave now in case you're spotted. [[Leave.->ScarHub]]

Kami begins to wildly buck as he slowly gets into his rhythm. You watch him with a certain degree of arousal, licking your lips as you smear the tip of your oozing member against the boy's lips. The young Fox let out weak whimpers and gasps of pleasure as the fullness of Kami's member rapidly pumped in and out of his malleable, likely virgin backside. Kami pressed his head down into the cub's back and lolled his tongue, panting happily as his hips pulled back and pounded down into the boy, over and over. The air was filled with a series of wet slaps and animalistic pants, Kami's knot rapidly bouncing off the the furred rump, his hefty balls swinging back and forth. Just the mere sound of their rough, passionate sex is turning you on. The boy's moans are growing more and more laboured as Kami seems to put a little more force into his downward thrusts, his knot pushing that much harder against the boy's behind. The Wolf must be getting close. You watch Kami close his eyes and he lets out a quiet huff of pleasure, his hips thrusting forwards rapidly. The young Fox lets out quiet whimpers and after one particular powerful thrust, Kami begins to slow. You can only assume he's managed to tie with the boy, and his tail frantically wags to and fro as he empties his balls into the cub's behind. You idly jerk your member against the boy's lips. You're not even close to cumming, but it was about Kami, not you. The boy panted tiredly, firmly tied with the Wolf, who nestled himself atop the cub's back and cuddled into him, his knot swelled, his balls tucked up to his body. The cub raised his head up to look at you. "I, u-uh..." He trailed off for a moment, before beginning again. "...I'm Dillan." You pat his head slowly. The two of you sit together as you wait for Kami to deflate enough for him to pull out. Satisfied, Kami steps away, and you think it wise to leave before you're seen. [[Say goodbye and leave.->ScarHub]]

The Horse snorts in your direction, and you roll your shoulders, getting into the rhythm. |Kami>["Focus, $name."] You pour your will into your fingers, and green mist flows up to your fingertips. You feel your eyes glowing green and your entire vision tints in the same shade. You raise your hands and push your fingers towards the Horse. Your magic ejects in a green mist, clouding around the Animal's figure. You have that calming spell down to a fine art by now. The Horse begins to calm almost immediately, and by the time the mist has finally dissappated, he's relaxed completely. He makes little noise thereafter, but you can tell by the way that he looks at you that he's after something else. It doesn't take much to realise what he wants. Even in the dark, you can see the outline of his stupendously long, limp hanging erection between his powerful legs. The choice is yours. [[Pleasure him.->HorseSS2]] [[Leave him be.->ScarInn]]

You decide that you should give the Horse what he's desperately needing. Kami seems to understand the need to pleasure the Horse and takes a long step back, not wanting to intrude upon your sexual act. You peer around the stable anxiously and then open the fence, stepping into the creature's enclosure. The Horse snorts and backs away from you to give you space, but his eyes are angled towards you, and he stomps his hooves against the ground in sexual frustration. He can't quite convey what he wants, but something about your Magister powers makes it easy for you to pick up his emotions, and the most overwhelming one is an incredible sexual desire. He's desperate for you. You get down onto your knees. One thing is for certain: the Horse is definitely too long and too thick for you to even remotely try to take it n your behind. No amount of attempts will ever make you ready for that, at least not yet. So, for now, you resort to the one thing that'll get the Horse off: your hand. You wrap your hand around the medial ring of the Horse's member, and immediately, the blood shoots to the Horse's cock. It's hips push down against your grip and thrusts down against your, before the cock suddenly goes limp again. Horses seem to not be able to keep themselves up for prolonged periods of time. Your fingers work up to the flaring tip of it's cock and you lightly stroke the sensitive skin. The Horse lets out a snort of delight as you pull your hand back, and you can feel the sticky beads of pre-cum dripping down. Most of it drips onto the hay on the floor. [[Continue.->HorseSS3]]

You guage how well you're doing based on the Horse's body language and the way his cock pulses in your grip. The thing has to be at least 14 inches long, perhaps even more. Each snort tells you that you're doing a good job, and each flick of the tail makes it clear that the Horse is getting closer to his climax. You begin to pick up speed, tugging your hand across the Horse's flesh back and forth. The Stallion lets out a pleasure snort here and there and it's hips begin pushing down into your hand instinctively, and you guage that it musn't be long now. You reach up your other hand and curl your other hand around towards the heard of the member, just under the flaring end, and you begin to vigorously pump the Horse's member. After a minute or so, the Horse's thrust grow irregular and laboured, and the tip flares tremedously before your very eyes. It lets out a snort of pure ecstasy and a thick jet of cum suddenly shoots from the end of the member, accompanied by a another few jets and splatters of cum thereafter. Your hands work slowly over his cock as he orgasms, but the Stallion's cock goes as limp as a noodle within a matter of moments. A mixture of pre-cum and the remnants of the Horse's load drips from the end of the member, and you see the cock beginning to shrink within a matter of seconds, sliding back up to it's wrinkled housing, tucked up to his stomach. You seem rather surprised. Slowly, you get to your feet, and plant a hand on the Horse's head, giving him a gentle pet. He stares at you with a single eye, and you get an overwhelming aura of satisfaction. Pleased, you leave him be. [[Leave.->ScarInn]]

You nestle in beside Kami on the carriage after paying the toll, and the two of you cuddle as the carriage trundles on, making towards the capital. It took a few days travel, but that was alright. The Silver Spire looms in the distance and the carriage trundles it's way closer. [[Continue.->Hub]]
