She had been stalking her prey for a long time. The beast eluded Lelurani, crawling through thick brush, over fallen trees, through narrow caves worn by other passing animals over Eywa knew how many seasons. Palulukan were not often the creatures that hunters like her sought, but she was on a mission!
It wasn't that she wanted to find and eat the thing. Quite the opposite! The large predator was no different than the ikran they rode. Except, of course, that it couldn't fly like an ikran. But it was the next best thing! She would fly through the forest on the back of her palulukan, ducking and weaving around trees and branches, chasing down prey to small or hidden to harvest from the back of the ikran she'd already linked with.
She would ride the thing back to Kelutral and show Eytukan that she could, in fact, ride something through the forest other than the pa'li steeds the warriors and hunters domesticated.
Lelurani leapt from the branch of a large tree and spread her arms wide to slow her fall. There were claw marks on the branch just out of reach for her to jump and deep gouges down the trunk and back to the ground. Her prey had descended back to the soft forest floor.
Grabbing a low hanging vine as she neared the ground, the young hunter slowed her descent enough to land safely in a crouch. Her long ears perked, and her eyes stared around. There were times, like this one when the forest was quiet and still, that she suspected she was not the one doing the hunting.
But no angry palulukan burst through the bushes to devour her. She licked her lips slowly and bounded noiselessly to the base of the tree she had seen the predator's tracks descend. The smell of the tree's sweet sap tickled her nose as she neared the gouges. Thick yellow sap bled from the tree's wounds. She reached out and touched the deep cuts sympathetically.
It almost seemed like the palulukan was in a hurry. Normally, they didn't do this much damage when they were stalking the forest. Lelurani lifted her head and glanced about cautiously. Her eyes examined every fern and leaf. No eyes peered back at her. No gnashing teeth rushed to get her. She licked her lips then vaulted effortlessly over the root, following the tracks cut deep in the moist earth. She looked ahead more than she looked down at the tracks she followed.
Her heart thundered in her chest. It was heading in a straight line, tearing through vines, leaves, and undergrowth like it was running away from something. Perhaps she had spooked it after all? If that were the case, she was probably a half day's trip from the thing by now. She hoped not! All of this work tracking an apex predator put to waste.
Leaves rustled nearby and Lelurani's ears perked. She stifled a gasp and ducked down beside the trunk of another much smaller tree. Ahead of her and to the right of her trail, a wide golden leave shuddered. In the next instant, it snapped to the side and a pair of yeriks bounded into the swathe cut through the middle of the forest by the fleeing predator.
The larger of the two stopped, sniffing about for a moment. It had winded her. Or perhaps the palulukan. She stared at the creature for a moment, watching its muscles tense beneath its dark blue hide. Its companion bleated and a moment later it bounded to catch up.
Lelurani let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. Her coiled muscles slowly relaxed and she slumped against the tree. This was a bad idea. She barely had the nerve to stand her ground when the prospect of her quarry turning to face her showed itself. How was she ever going to complete tsahaylu with the palulukan when it really did show its face?
She took a breath to steady her nerves and pushed away from the trunk. Her bare feet carried her noiselessly through the brush after her prize. She would find it and she would make the bond. There was no use questioning it. She'd come this far, she owed it to herself to go the rest of the way.
The rest of the Omaticaya had called her foolish and said this was a suicide task. They sneered and joked. But she had gone anyway, despite their jeers and scoffing remarks. They laughed at her back as she ran into the dense forest outside of the safety of their home tree. She couldn't go back empty handed now. She would see herself as a failure and more than that, they would all be right. If she died or worse, came back without her palulukan, the rest of the tribe would win. And that wouldn't do.
She'd always had dreams and wants and desires that her sempu and sa'nu had always told her were unobtainable, or flights of fancy. As she grew older, her ambitions grew tenfold. She had quickly become ridiculed and frowned upon for her longings and yearnings. She lied often, saying she was used to it. But she never got used to the others laughing in her face when she would speak her heart. In fact-...
Her blood ran cold and she stopped. Her ears stood straight up, swivelling this way and that. The birds had stopped singing. The animals in the immediate area no longer talked.
The trail had vanished.
She turned slowly, her eyes scanning the earth behind her, along the path she had been stalking. The tracks were nowhere to be seen. How long had she been moving, lost in her own thoughts? Her heart thundered in her chest.
Any hope that the trail had turned and she just hadn't noticed melted away as a deep growl rumbled behind her. She turned sharply. The palulukan was there, emerging from beneath a large green leaf. It's beady black eyes stared at her, sizing her up for its next meal. She felt like the yerik she had seen earlier. Afraid. Certain death was coming any moment. Perhaps it was.
But she couldn't let her people be right. She took a breath and bent her knees slowly. She felt her muscles coil at the same time she watched the palulukan's do the same.
The black predator lunged forward! Her muscles uncoiled and she sprang forward, toward the very animal trying to eat her. She tucked her head and her right shoulder. As she hit the soft earth beneath the palulukan, she rolled and curled her tail and legs close against her torso.
Her quarry gave a frustrated roar and landed heavily behind her. She knew she couldnt stay still, Not even for a second. If she hesitated, she would be this thing's food. She turned and sprinted toward the nearest tree. Behind her, she heard the crash of the massive palulukan following hot on her heels.
On the trunk of her target tree, several thick knots protruded all the way up the length of the tree. She knew she would never be able to out-climb the predator. Perhaps this was a sign from Eywa. Maybe she could use the tree in another way. She sprang up as high as she could, leaping up the side of the trunk to grab on to the highest knot she could.
She planted her feet against the rough bark just beneath the knot and pushed off with all of her strength. As she sprang away from the tree, she arched her back and craned her head upward to stare down at the ground and the angry palulukan coming after her. The beast was much closer than she would have liked! It was already halfway up the tree, swiping at where she had been a moment before.
Lelurani reached her hands out and grabbed the beast's shoulders. It was hard to keep a grip on the beast's smooth black hide, but she had enough of one that her body swung down and landed heavily on the big predator's back. The palulukan bellowed a deafening roar and twisted about to try to get at her.
She held on for dear life with one hand while the other reached behind her head and pulled her tswin forward. The palulukan's were tucked tightly against its neck, but she was able to find the bulbous end.
As she felt the soft strands of tissue twining together around her prize's, a far more pressing sensation filled her senses. A large, rough paw wrapped around her middle and the world fell away.
As she landed hard on her back, the air rushed out of her lungs, but she saw their tswins clearly intertwined, linked together in tsahaylu. She reached up to run her hands over the palulukan's soft underside.
"Mawey," she cooed as a sense of calm, a sense of oneness washed over her. "Mawey..." The predator stared down at her, his black eyes unblinking and locked with her own. There was a sense of one mind, one body. Dominance. She had done it. She had asserted herself and prevented the big animal from eating her! She ran her hands from the beast's neck down to his underbelly and back.
That sense of oneness grew stronger. A desire for more bled into her mind. She wanted more of this link, more of this oneness. She leaned forward, nuzzling her cheek into the predator's neck. Dominance. When a palulukan was asserting its dominance over another, they mated. Yes. Her hands slid down along the palulukan's underbelly again. She was not surprised when she found his sheathe full and overflowing with hot, smooth arousal. She knew it was there as sure as she knew her body was growing moist and needy.
"Maweypey," she whispered as her hands fell away from the animal's thick appendage. She pulled the loincloth away from her body, discarding the bit of hide and leaving her lower body bare. She reached up and curled her fingers around the thick, ridged member throbbing against the palulukan's belly and pointed it down at herself. She rubbed her belly and groin against it, but a sense of wrongness filled her.
She didnt have a muntxatan. She had never been with anyone. None of the Omaticaya wanted her, after all. But a deep sense of instinct stirred within her mind. This was wrong. On her hands and knees. Like another palulukan. She nodded slowly to an unspoken demand. "Srane, timuntxa to loang."
Lilurani rolled, careful of her tsahaylu with the palulukan. She settled her weight on all fours and felt the predator shift above her. It had been still before, but now it was shifting its weight, pressing down on her from above. There wasn't the same fear as there was before. She only felt approval, that same desire for oneness.
The next thing she felt was the thick, firm tip of the palulukan's member prodding against her rump and thighs. She pulled her tail aside slowly and curled it gently around the palulukan's arousal. A moment later, she felt him prodding insistently against her too-small opening. "Srane," she whispered as she reached between her legs. "Tsatseng!"
Her fingers eagerly spread her virgin body as wide as she could. The beast's member pressed into her and she felt her body spread wide around the invading appendage. Her hand dropped away from her womanhood and her fingers on both hands curled deep in the damp soil beneath her.
"Tsawl nitxan!" she cried out. Her palulukan pressed firmly against her and she pushed just as firmly back. She didn't want to be pushed down into the earth like some palulukan'lini! The first ridge on the animal's enormous rod was starting to push against her folds. She felt her body stretching uncomfortable around it and she grit her teeth. "Tsawl nitxan! Fuke'ha!"
Her body stretched around the first ridge and she felt only a little relief as her body adjusted to the size and her opening was allowed to regain at least a tiny bit of its shape.
The air rushed from her lungs as the palulukan lunged forward. Her belly stretched around every ridge in less time that it took her heart to beat. She felt a dull impact deep in her belly and she gave a little cry. Concern. There was pain, but she was sure she didnt feel any damage. None that was apparent anyway. The predator held still, his thick balls pressed tightly against her pale blue thighs.
Her belly ached and throbbed in time with their heartbeats. It amazed her for a moment that she could not only feel the palulukan's heartbeat in her mind, but also pulsing deep inside of her. She hung her head and stared beneath herself. Clearly outlined against her taut blue flesh was every ridge and curve of the animal's appendage stretched against her.
How it fit was beyond her, but the longer that her beast remained still, the less it hurt. The concern she felt bled away slowly, replaced by relief and approval. There was a deep rumble in the palulukan's chest, a purr against her bare back. If she didnt know any better, she would have thought it was questioning.
"Srane, Mowan'nitxan."
The palulukan's hips drew away from her own, dragging out every ridge. Each one popped free of her, tugging smartly against her sore, stretched nethers. Each time a ridge slid free of her, she gasped and mewled, curling her fingers into the earth beneath her as another dull ache rippled through her once virgin body. Before she knew it, she was left feeling empty. Cool air rushed into her body for only a second before the palulukan pressed himself against her opening again. She nodded and opened her mouth to voice her approval again, but the only thing that passed her lips was a deep gasp.
Her palulukan rocked forward, forcing every inch of that massive appendage into her belly. Unlike before, he didnt wait for her to adjust. He pulled his ridged member out of her body then forced it back again. His pace was slow, but every ridge pushing into and sliding out of her body sent little zings of pleasure and desire rushing through her. What were hers and what were the palulukan's, she didnt know. She didnt care.
"Srane!" she called out. "Srane! Ni'ul! Ni'ul'ul!"
As is it could understand her, the palulukan's pace quickened. It thrust against her smaller body with more vigor and the rumbling in its chest vibrated much more loudly against her back. She moaned deeply and gasped each time her palulukan slapped his hips against her rump, rocking her forward a moment before tugging her back.
Oneness. She felt it stronger than before. They were one. The same. She was his. And he was hers. There was oneness at last. And there was closeness. She felt she was close to something. Very close to something. Her palulukan shared the sentiment. They were verging on something she wanted more than anything in that moment.
"Srane! Srane!" she cried out as a fire began to burn deep in her belly. It wasnt pain, nor the same dull ache. But she wanted it to... well, she wasnt sure really. But she wanted more of it and her palulukan seemed most eager to give it to her!
Something large and firm that hadnt been there before slammed against her nethers. She blinked and looked beneath herself as if to see what it was. All she could see was the predator's sack swinging against her thighs and her belly bulging obscenely with every thrust.
"Fta si?" She asked. Indeed, there was approval filling her mind once again as the palulukan pushed that large thing against her opening. Instinct once again took hold and she pushed back just as insistently as her palulukan. She felt her nethers spreading uncomfortable wide around the knot at the base of the predator's length.
A moment later, her body gave way, swallowing the knot whole and sealing them together. Deep inside, another ache blossomed deep in her lower chest. Heat rushed into her belly, soothing the ache. In the next isntant, the fire deep in her belly erupted into a raging inferno. The flame rushed throughout her being and she arched her back.
"EYWA SRANE!" she screamed as her body squeezed against the member invading her once virgin womanhood. She felt her belly pulling every drop deep, deep inside. Where it belonged, she felt. That ache returned, this time along her outer belly. She lifted a hand, feeling the obscene swell of her light blue flesh, but she couldnt find any of the pronounced ridges she had seen minutes before. Instead, it felt like her belly was growing round and full.
Good, she felt once more. Good. This was as it was supposed to be. This was part of the dominance. Good. She was his. And he was hers.
As the inferno began to die down, she lowered her shoulders onto the soil she had tilled with her grasping hands. She laid her head down on the soft earth and moaned deeply. Her hand at her belly lifted slowly, gliding over her ample breast, then away from her body to come to rest where their tsahaylu rested beside her head.
When she awoke next, the sun had set, casting the world in the bright blue glow of night time. Lilurani shot up and looked around. She was not in her pod in kelutral! Her breathing quickened and she looked this way and that. She didnt recognize where she was!
The memories rushed back and she lifted her hands to her belly. It was flat, and toned as normal. Had it been a dream? Had all of that been a delusion she had created in her desire to find and ride a palulukan?
A deep growl rumbled nearby and she turned. Her ears drew flat and she lowered herself into a crouch. There in the darkness, she could barely make out the outline of a large black palulukan. It growled deeply again and rose from where it had been lounging nearby.
She wasnt afraid. In fact, she felt a sense of calm and safety wash over her. She licked her lips and lowered her fingertips to the soil to steady herself.
The palulukan gave another deep rumble, a purr that vibrated deep in Lilurani's core. It approached her and without even a second thought, she turned and pressed her palms flat against the soft earth beneath her. Slowly, she spread her knees wide and pulled her tail to the side.
As she looked over her bare blue shoulder at the big black predator, she quivered curled her fingers into the dirt.
"Rutxe," she whispered. "Si nga sa'nok."
