A Tour
#14 of Black Death
Finally! I'm terribly ashamed that this took over a year to do... stupid brain shifting to being more creative instead of being more writer-focused. x.x Anywho, I hope you all enjoy this long overdue chapter.
P.S. The statues mentioned later are the Hastings, the warrior and Warwickshire dragon sculpture and coffee tables.
~ ~ Reiner's POV ~ ~
"Hey, did you hear?"
"Yeah, that hybrid took on that herd of Tusk Smashers attacking a village by himself and sent them fleeing with their tails between their legs."
"I heard he also denied the reward 'cause he wanted it to be used on all the broken homes and such."
"Seriously? That job was over ten thousand credits. Who passes that up even if you are already rich?"
Rein couldn't help but chuckle at the different whispers going around as he and his brother walked across campus, duffle bags slung over their shoulders as they pulled a pair of suitcases along behind them. He looked towards Tobi, just as the other snake turned to face him as well, and they both smiled to each other, amused at what everyone was talking about.
"Heh, two days back and everyone has heard about the mission huh Tobi? Would have expected it to take another day really."
"Just goes to show that Fenrir must have left a real mark on everyone after that display he put on back when he first showed up. Now almost every other student is probably trying to keep tabs on what he does to see just how good he really is."
The younger serpent just shrugged his shoulders as he turned to look forward again as they kept walking, looking up slightly at the large dorm they were heading too. Rein soon joined him, gazing at the tall building. It was still some ways off, so he took the time to continue talking with Tobi a little more while still listening to the students talking around them.
"Suppose you're right there bro. Heck, even we were amused by what he did back then."
"Yeah, plus he even turned Mad Eyes' power back on him like it was nothing. Finally someone one-upped that guy."
"I know, right? He was always trying to talk down about us anthro snakes just because nagas like him are bigger. The only real difference is what he's packing downstairs, and who cares if you have two of them anyways?"
The both of them laughed at that, smirking to one another as they thought back to the times the bigger serpent had talked about nagas were superior to anthro snakes, only to be bested by the newest student like he wasn't even a threat worth taking seriously. As he was thinking of more of the times the naga boasted about his kind, Rein was brought back to the present when Tobi spoke up again, causing him to turn and face his twin.
"I still can't believe all the stuff that Fenrir did with those big beasts and everything else he said just after seeing out power once."
"Yeah... it was a real shock that's for sure..."
Rein looked away from his brother, looking up to gaze at the sky as he thought back to the last few days.
~ ~ Flashback ~ ~
The ground continued to shake as the rumbling echo of hooves died down with the Tusk Smashers' retreat back to their forested home, the massive creatures ducking and weaving through the trees before disappearing from sight. Rein thought it was strange how easily the giant hogs could vanish into the trees without knocking at least one or two down, but since it was their home he supposed he shouldn't be too surprised by it too much. Instead he turned back to look at his brother and the rest of their team, Snow and Cecil holding the limp body of the unconscious rat who had been controlling the pack between them while Fenrir was a little further behind them already talking with the village elder.
"That was a lot different than what I thought it was going to be. Who would have thought there was someone out here controlling those things?"
Rein couldn't help but chuckle at that as Tobi said that, leaning over and throwing an arm across his shoulders, his tongue flicking out in amusement before he spoke.
"We sure wouldn't have. Heck, we sometimes lo-"
"-se things around the dorm room for weeks at a time."
The trademark twin telepathy act between the brothers showing up again sent the serpents into a fit of laughing, which also started to spread to Cecil and Snow as well as they watched the pair continue to laugh and banter between one another. All four were so distracted with the endless laughter that they almost jumped when Fenrir came up from behind the anacondas and draped both of his arms across their shoulders, his head popping into view between their own, chuckling lightly as he smirked at everyone.
"I see you boys have been enjoying yourselves over here."
"Hehe, well, we didn't have much else to do as we waited for you. Guess you finished things up with the elder?"
"Yep, everything is taken care of and they're all very grateful that we solved their problem, even if the cause ended up being because of one of their own villagers. Think his parents are more upset than the rest, but they all realize he should be punished for all the trouble and damages that he caused. So they're leaving him to us to take back to school for whatever punishment Daniel can think up."
Everyone took another look at the rat that Cecil and Snow were carrying, all of them wondering just what will be in store for him once they get back to the island. But before their thoughts could linger any longer, the folf spoke up once again, shattering the brief silence.
"Alright, now that everything is done with this mission, we can start getting back to the plane and on the island again. Cecil, Snow, you two take our little friend there with you, I have something I wanna ask these two before we catch up with you."
"Are you sure? We could just wait for you guys, this kid's not too heavy."
"It's ok, you two can help Blake get the plane ready to fly by the time we join you all."
After a little more coxing, Fenrir finally got the rabbit and snow leopard to go on ahead of them, leaving him along with the snakes. He turned to face them after the two had left, a somewhat serious look on his face as he stared at the twins, crossing his arms in front of his chest. The sudden seriousness that came over the taller male caught Rein and Tobi off-guard, both of them almost flinching as they stared back in confusion and fear, having no idea why Fenrir would want to talk with them alone now and what it could be about.
"I'm not so good with words here boys, so I'll just come out and say what I wanted to talk with you two about. I promise to never mention anything about your love for each other, not that I have any reason to snitch about it like I mentioned before, and... I would like you two to join my team."
The twins were caught by surprise again by the request, quickly turning to look at each other, mouths agape slightly before they looked at the folf again. Rein tried to think of why such a strong male like him would want two newly promoted Gammas like them on his team, and he couldn't think of a single reason, and certainly didn't consider their taboo love to be a legitimate one. In the end, all he could do was blunt out "...why?" before he could even stop himself, earning a slight smirk from Fenrir before he spoke.
"Well, the rules state that a team has to have four members at a minimum, so with only the three of us, we need at least one more before we could be an official team. And from what I saw with how you two handled yourselves our here both physically and with your magnetic attraction, I don't see a reason that you two wouldn't be good to have as teammates... and I think incest is pretty kinky and hot personally."
The hybrid's smirk only grew as he spoke that last part, chuckling as he reached out and offered a paw to shake to Rein, not saying another word, his smirk and stare pretty much saying he was both serious about the offer and generally liked the two of them. Rein looked back at Tobi briefly, both of them staring at each other for what seemed like minutes on end as their thoughts raced on whether to accept it or not. However, after what was really only a minute of the serpents staring amongst themselves, both of their stiff bodies slowly relaxed and they signed in perfect unison before looking back to Fenrir, followed by Rein reaching for the offered paw and shaking it with his own.
"You're the first person to ever figure out our big secret, and without any giveaways from us personally, and you didn't treat us like a pair of freaks for what we are. I don't see any reason we shouldn't except your offer, especially given how crazy strong you are."
"Heh, if you think what you've seen here and with the jackal were everything, then you're in for yet more surprises boys. But, that's for another time. Instead, let's talk about getting you two up to speed with what I've been thinking... both about the team and your powers."
~ ~ End Flashback - Third Person POV ~ ~
The twins stared in awe at what was to be their new team's dorm, instantly recognizing it from its location as one of the most expensive and sought-after dorm buildings on the campus. It was one of the only two dorms that were mostly made by the first headmaster personally with his powers over wood, along with stones and the obvious glass for windows. The mountain house-style dorm was the picture of calm and cozy, and because of its reputation, also had some of the latest furniture and equipment inside of it. It was also one of the handful of dorms to possess a basement. The realization that they were gonna be living in this place made them really respect that folf all the more.
"You two wanna keep gawking or would you like to come in and see the place?"
The sudden question brought the anacondas back to reality, and they looked down to see Fenrir leaning against the doorframe, staring at the both of them in amusement with his arms crossed in front of his surprisingly bare chest. Blushing slightly in embarrassment, the two quickly picked up their suitcases and hopped up the small set of stairs onto the porch, walking across its length to meet the grinning canine.
"Hehe, judging by the look you two had on your faces, you know exactly what this dorm is about. Good, now, how about I show you around the place and let you pick out a bedroom for you both to have."
Almost immediately upon entering the dorm, Rein and Tobi were once again stunned in amazement as they saw the equally stunning and relaxing wood-based interior. The folf showed them the entrance to the library right beside the front door, letting them see how full of books its shelves were already, and how the polished wooden desk and other pieces of seating complimented the room. Next to the library's doorway was an L-shaped staircase that he led them up, revealing the second floor that held most of the bedrooms.
Directly beside them and above where the library was on the first floor was the bonus room, according to Fenrir at least, with its door closed they couldn't see it for themselves. Instead, he showed them the bathroom right in front of them that is for the bedroom next to it, opposite the bonus room, before walking them across a bridge that offered an aerial view of the nicely furnished and comfortable living room to see two more bedrooms on either side of them and another bathroom between the two of them directly in front of them.
Fenrir guided the brothers towards the bedroom on their right, turning the door and gesturing for them to enter it with a wave of his paw. As Rein entered, with Tobi right behind him, the anacondas gasped at the interior of the room, almost instantly making them drop their bags and suitcases as they stepped in deeper to get a better look of everything inside. It had to be nearly fifteen feet in both depth and width, with the wall across from them having an indention with a large pair of conjoined windows in the middle of it.
There was a queen-sized bed against the outer wall with a dark wooden nightstand on either side of it and a wide, simple closet in the corner on the opposite side of the same wall as the door, while between them was a typical desk anyone would find in student dorms with a rolling chair in front of it. The wall opposite of the bed and nightstands, next to the door, was mostly bare except for a chest-high dresser, on top of which was a pretty big flat-screen TV, which only added to the awe overcoming the snakes, excitement coursing through their veins and making their snouts part in wide, eager smiles.
While the pair were marveling over the décor of the room, Fenrir watched on from the doorway in slight amusement, glad that the brothers liked what they saw despite the current plain state of the room. He let them continue for a little while longer, getting a full view and feel of the room before he stepped into it properly and spoke up.
"Glad you two seem to like what you see on the inside too. Just so you know, this will be_your_ room here from now on boys."
Just as the two of them turned to face him, with Rein opening his mouth about to speak, the canine hybrid held up a finger to keep him silent. He smirked and gestured for the two of them to follow him, before turning around and heading back across the bridge with the twins right behind him in confused silence. Fenrir looked back at them as he stopped in front of the door to the bonus room that was skipped before, chuckling a bit before he opened it and stepped through, letting the snakes follow him and take a look and what he had kept a secret beforehand.
As one, both brothers gasped again and were stunned into complete silence at the sight before them. The room was slightly smaller than the library below it, but still looked to be nearly twenty feet from the door to the wall across from them and almost sixteen across with tile flooring. But what really surprised them was the atmosphere and content of the room. There was a fan overhead that lacked any light fixtures on it, and instead had several lamps along walls to create a dimly-lit space, even the three-wide windows had blackout curtains over them, and the purpose of the furniture made that reasoning for that all too clear.
Along the walls were rows and rows of shelves, filled with an assortment of lubes, sex toys, bondage gear and equipment, outfits and more, while on the floor was a bondage table, sawhorse, and even a stockade along with a few other pieces of furniture. There were even some suspension straps dangling from the ceiling near one of the corners. Fenrir closed the door behind them and strolled past the two, smirking as he turned around and opened his arms like he was showing off the room.
"As you can see, this is, for all intents and purposes, the 'pleasure room' if you want to call it that. I've amassed this stuff over my years of wandering, and now it's all here and you are more than welcome to use them however you please. Heh, you should have seen the look on the guy's face as he started to move all of this stuff after the rest of the furniture, his face was so red you could see it through his fur. And just to go ahead and tell you, the other door over there is simply storage space and covers the rest of the space that this room would have to match with the library below it."
The snakes blushed deeply as they listened to what the folf said and continued to look around, now noticing the door that was pointed out behind them, next to the door they came in from. After what felt like forever in silence, one of the twins spoke up again.
"W-we can really just use anything in here?"
"Heh, yes. I'm not gonna just show you this place and tell you not to touch anything, I just ask that you make sure to clean up whenever you decide to have some fun in here. Now, since you've seen everything up here and left your bags in your new room. I think we can head back down and let you see the rest of the first floor and see my boys, hehe. Think you'll get a bit of a kick out of what they're wearing."
The twins gulping in nervousness as they heard that, turning back to and opening the door to exit the room, waiting for the folf to follow suit and then lead them back downstairs. Turning left as they reached the bottom of the stairs, the trio entered the living room, giving Rein and Tobi a better view of the luxurious couch, loveseat, and pair of recliners, although the couch and loveseat looked like they could recline too. Between them all was an unusual coffee table that had an oval pane of glass laying on the back of a beautifully detailed feral dragon, while to each side of the couch and loveseat were similar tables of an anthro dragon in armor kneeling and holding up its glass top.
Following Fenrir through it and to the left, they stepped into the kitchen area and were met with another surprising and hot sight. Cecil and Snow were standing with their backs to them, talking as they washed dishes at the sinks from what was probably lunch... in nothing but a pair of pink aprons. The sight only added fuel to the fires burning in the serpents' loins, a bulge clearly outlined now in each of their shorts, their tails coiling around one of their legs in embarrassment just as Fenrir leaned over between them, whispering teasingly in their ears.
"Looks and smells like you two approve of the sight before you, hehe. Didn't take much convincing to get the two of them to dress like that, I'll tell you that much. Such cute boys I found for myself, don't you think?"
Rein and Tobi could do nothing but nod silently as they felt their cocks throb in their shorts, still staring at the femboi-ish couple in front of them.
Just then, a series of knocks came from the front door, catching the attention of the twins and Fenrir as the latter's ears swiveled back in response to the noise. Muttering to himself briefly, the folf pulled himself up from between the snakes and patted their backs lightly.
"You two go and say hey to them, I'll go and see who that is, wasn't really expecting anyone else besides you two."
Leaving the confused and mumbling pair behind, Fenrir turned and headed back to the front, wondering on just who would be showing up at the dorm so soon after the twins had been invited. As he reached the door, he took hold of the knob and opened the door, revealing a shorter peacock in a simple shirt and shorts.
"Hello, and who might you be?"
"Fenrir Rose, right?"
The peacock smirked as he saw the folf nod and continue stare at him expectedly. He stood up straighter and fanned his long tailfeathers out, trying to make himself look more impressive before he spoke again.
"The name's Brian Secul, or Ghoul Sprite if you want to call me that instead. I'm here to challenge you to a battle."
