Mages of the Sword
#52 of Old Works
This is another story/art trade done for Helsing. It continues the story of Draeth (C) to Helsing and Elicor (C) to me. Once again this is set to Helsings likes, so if you don't share his kinks or anything, don't give me negative feed back for it, 'kay?

Mages of the Sword.
The sun rose over the misty purple mountains, casting it's golden rays down upon a small camp in the clearing of a vast wood. As the sunlight warmed up the canvas tent, the door opened and a tall wolf came out, stood up and stretched. He rubbed the back of his head and looked around, the remains of their campfire still smoldered in the small pit that had been dug. Going round to the side of the tent, the wolf kicked a bulge.
"Hey! Elicor! Get up you lazy sod." He said
"Mrrrphmp..." was the only answer he got.
"I swear...you are the laziest person I know!" The wolf said with an exasperated sigh.
"S'too early Draeth...why d' we always get up s' early?" came a tired voice from the tent.
Draeth sighed and headed to the nearby stream. He didn't know Elicor was this lazy...it made him wonder how he got such good marks in the mages guild finals. Draeth splashed his face with the cold spring water and headed back to the camp. A tired looking red dragon with black horns and talons poked his head out of the tents door, blinking in the bright light of the sun.
"Errrrghhh...I hate the sun." He said rubbing his head
"You didn't have that much to drink last night!" Draeth exclaimed
"Unlike some, I wasn't trained to get up at the crack of sparrowfart." Elicor retorted
"Just get out here and help me pack up."
"What? No breakfast!?"
"We'll have that whilst we walk, now get up!"
"Fine...mother..." The dragon grumbled
After they had packed up camp, they set out along the forest path, munching on deer jerky.
"So...remind me where we're going?" Elicor asked. He had completed his training at the mages guild and wore the blue mages guild surcoat with the guild symbol emblazoned on the front (a golden sun surrounded by stars) with leather traveling gear underneath. In his right hand he gripped a long wooden staff with a brass cap in the shape of a dragons head adorning the end. Draeth, having completed his training and gaining the status of a Knight, wore the red tabard with his families coat of arms (a yellow shield divided into four sections containing a hawk, a tiger, a dragon and a ram) showing on the front. He wore a mail shirt under that and leather traveling clothes, along with leather gauntlets. He carried their belongings over his shoulder in a haversack whilst Elicor carried their tent.
Draeth grinned
"Nowhere." He replied
"Yep...that's what I feared. So...here we are, no knowledge of where we're going, just adventuring?" Elicor put heavy emphasis on the final word, as if it was something to look down on.
"I'm a knight, It's my job to help people if they need it."
"Yes, and I'm a mage, it's also my job to help people....for a fee of course."
"Heh, I suppose your right, we can't live on goodness alone."
"I dunno...people have tried."
"Oh? Who?"
"Dunno, they probably died of starvation."
As they walked Elicor talked at length about what he had learned about "sword magic" whilst at the guild. The year before Draeth had shown an incredible aptitude for this forgotten branch of magic, only available to knights. The mages guild had sealed away this power and kept it secret from the knights, but once Draeth's father found out, he went straight to the high council in the capital and demanded that knights be allowed access to this art. The council granted his request and Draeth had become the first "Sword Mage". Someone who holds the rank of Knight and Mage. The only problem was that he knew very little about the subject apart from the information contained in a book written by Elicor's grandfather. The two had been endeavoring to find out more about it and so far it seemed to be an offensive branch of magic.
"...then of course there's the fact you can already control it, which is quite amazing." Elicor was saying
"I have been practicing all year you know."
"But still...in just a year, you've come very far."
"Why thank you!"
"Don't mention it...hey, do you have any idea where this pa...track leads?"
"I think It leads to some old ruins deep in the forest. The remains of an ancient temple or something."
"And why in Illuvitars name would we want to go there?!"
"I dunno, treasure, monsters, sex..."
"Aside from them...wait...What!?"
Draeth grinned at Elicor, tapping his nose.
"If your a good little dwaggy, Uncle Draeth might give you a little treat."
"You sound so perverted when you say that." Elicor laughed
"You love it."
After a while of hiking through the dense forest they saw an old pillar, covered in ivy and moss. Draeth walked up to it and ran his hand over the stonework.
"Looks like we're getting closer." He said before turning and heading onwards, Elicor following him.
When they went out of sight of the pillar, the old stonework seemed to shudder and blue lines spread across the surface and under the plant life, forming symbols in a strange language...
"Woah!"
"Yeah...that's pretty damn impressive."
The two friends had arrived at the temple around sunset. The setting sun made the scene before them all the more spectacular. The temple was nestled deep in the heart of the forest. A large stone courtyard welcomed visitors to enter the huge arched doorway leading into the temple itself. The large domed roof had a number of small holes in it and large pillars in varying states of dilapidation were dotted everywhere.
"This place is incredible!" Elicor said, his voice growing excited "These pillars! They're full of magic, it seems like some sort of powerful sealing spell."
"Doesn't that mean something big and or powerful is being kept here?" Draeth asked
"Most probably." Elicor said matter-of-factly
Draeth reached for his sword, Elicor simply laughed
"Don't be so paranoid!" he sniggered "As long as we don't accidentally say the words of unbinding we should be fine...and as I am not that powerful, I should think we're safe."
"Yeah but remember what happened last time you said that?"
"Look, the dragon was tiny! How can you keep brining that up!?"
"It wasn't your room it trashed." Draeth said sullenly
The doors to the great temple creaked slowly open. Draeth leaned against one and huffed.
"Damn!...these doors are probably the only thing in good repair around here!" he gasped
Elicor wasn't listening however. He was paying more attention to huge quantity of gold and jewels the inside of the temple seemed to be made of.
"Hell-ooo! Are you even listening to me....oh..."
"Yeah..."
They stood next to each other, simply staring at the sight before them. They were stood in what seemed to bee a large entrance hall. The walls were totally plated in gold, dancing figures were picked out in silver and jewels. An ornate wooden door lead off further into the temple, its fantastic golden frames and patterns were works of art in themselves.
"H-how come no ones discovered this place?" Draeth said with awe
Elicor bent down and picked up a small lump of gold that had fallen down from the roof. He turned and tossed it through the entrance way. A blue glow sprang up around the fragment and then a blinding flash caused Draeth and Elicor to shield their eyes. The sharp scent of molten metal hit their nostrils, Elicor opened his eyes
"That could explain why." He said
The golden fragment at been melted into a boiling pool of molten gold.
"Shit..." Draeth said
"I get the impression that that is a spell placed to stop any one from leaving with plundered treasure. I'm sure people have tried but the all got destroyed by the spell."
"We'd better not take anything then." Draeth said heading towards the door at the other end of the room.
The huge wooden portal creaked open slowly, Draeth pausing for breath before following Elicor into the room beyond. This room was quite plain compared to the entrance hall, but no less impressive. The walls were made out of granite coloured marble and had similar dancing figures carved into it. The only way out of this room seemed to be a flight of steps leading down into a dark passage. As Dreath Set his foot on the top step, blue symbols flared into life along the walls, lighting the passage and illuminating the figures carved into the walls.
"It's just a lighting Charm." Elicor said patting Draeth on the head. Draeth let go of his sword hilt and growled
"Don't patronize me..." he grumbled following the dragon into the passage.
They had been walking for about five minutes when Elicor said
"Have you noticed something about these carvings?"
"Hmm? What? No...I haven't actually." Draeth replied
"They all seem to have the same theme..." Elicor said peering at the carvings "...It seems to be a large...Naga uhhmm...uhhh...mating with the other people."
"Heh...kinky." Draeth said with a grin
"Dirty, dirty wolfy." Elicor laughed
"Heh...hey! There's a door." Draeth said, a note of excitement coming into his voice. He walked over to it and pushed it open carefully.
"Looks like we reached the end of this tunnel." He said over his shoulder, pushing the door open fully. Revealing something like another entrance chamber. This one was gold like the first and the figures were still the same.
"They sure liked their nagas." Draeth said, running his hand over the golden walls.
"Uhhh...Draeth? I think it's the same naga....and..."
"What?"
"The figures it's mating with...it's us!"
"What?! Don't be ridiculous! There's no way that this ancient temple has any likeness to us." Draeth scoffed
"Look for yourself." Elicor said, backing away from the wall he was staring at.
Draeth gave Elicor a scornful look and peered at the wall
"Elicor?" he said after a few minutes
"Yes?"
"That's us..."
"I know."
"But how..."
"No idea."
"Is this good or bad?"
"Considering the naga only seems to be mating with us I'd say it would probably be a good thing...at least it doesn't eat us."
"But you said that it was sealed? Shouldn't we be safe?"
"Yes we will be...assuming we don't do something to break the seal."
"Fantastic."
Draeth turned to the doors in this room. They were no less impressive than the ones in the last room, only these ones had patterns resembling snakes very closely.
"Ahhh! To hell with it!" Draeth said and shoved open the doors. The huge wooden gates slammed open, the noise echoing around the room. Draeth's ears were flat against his head and a shocked look was plastered across his muzzle.
"Well, that was different." Elicor said strolling past Draeth into the room beyond.
This room seemed to be the main place of worship, a huge golden statue stood at one end of the room. It was the naga that was carved on all the walls. A web of blue lines connected it to four pillars in each corner of the room.
"I get the impression he's the guy that they worshipped." Draeth said
"And sealed..." Elicor muttered
"What? Why'd they seal a statue?"
"I'm not sure that thing is a statue."
Elicor walked up to it and studied it, being careful not to touch it. What he didn't notice was a powerful consciousness watching him.
"Thatssss it! Just a little further! Touch me and I ssshall be free!" It said, but Elicor could not hear it.
Draeth came and stood next to Elicor, looking up at the face of the statue.
"Oooo! He was purdy!" he said with a giggle
"I have to agree with you there." Elicor said "The detail is fantastic!"
"I know..." Draeth said and stroked the surface of the statue. As soon as his hand touched the golden figure, two of the light pillars faded and their connecting lines broke. But Draeth and Elicor didn't notice
"Hey! It feels warm! Like...a living thing?" Draeth said, stroking the surface
"Really?" Elicor said, reaching out and touching it.
The other two pillars switched off to, and the statue...twitched.
"Uhhh...Elicor?" Draeth said
"Y-yes?"
"The statue just moved didn't it?"
"Y-yes..."
"We've just done what those carvings said we would...didn't we?"
"Y-yes..."
"Uh oh."
Sslethiss had been trapped for almost eight thousand years. He had been captured by an evil mage and imprisoned in the temple. People came to worship him and decorated the temple with vast quantities of gold. The great Naga had managed to project images to the High Priest abut the coming of a knight and a mage. When they did show up...Sslethiss was afraid they wouldn't touch him, and he'd be trapped forever! But now he was freed from the curse...
"Free..." He hissed "FREE!"
"Draeth!?" Elicor said
"I know!"
The naga's skin slowly began to change colour. It went from gold to dark brown and golden brown. From the waist down he was a huge snake, from the waist up, he was humanoid with a snakes head. His scales covered his entire body. In order to guess at the size of him, his torso was the same length as Draeth who was a good six foot three.
"Should we run?" Elicor asked
"Yes, that's a good idea."
They both turned and ran for the exit, only to have their escape cut short by the doors slamming shut. Draeth tugged on the huge door handles but the massive portal refused to budge
"Ocrapocrapocrapocrapocrap!!" he whimpered
"Why do you run in fear?" a soft voice said
They both turned and saw the Naga. He was coiled in the middle of the room, a warm smile on his face
"Do not worry, I will not hurt you." He said in a soothing tone
"A-aren't you angry with us?" Elicor asked, fear still shaking his voice.
"Angry, Why would I be angry?"
"For defiling your temple..." Draeth said
The Naga laughed a laugh that sounded like silk, falling onto a bed of feathers. It was a sound that made Elicor and Draeth sigh and visibly relax. The naga snapped his fingers and a huge pile of cushions appeared in the center of the room. Coiling himself up on them he smiled.
"This is not my temple. I was imprisoned here almost eight millennia ago."
Draeth and Elicor looked at each other
"So...you don't mean to harm us?" Elicor said
"Good graciousssse no! I mean to reward you! You set me free and have earned my eternal gratitude!"
"Wait...reward? Do you mean...." Draeth trailed off, he let out a sigh and started walking towards the naga. Elicor looked surprised at first, but then realized what was happening. He wasn't in time to raise his mental defenses before the Snakes hypnotic gaze had him in it's grip. Sslethiss smiled and clapped his hands, the two furs clothing vanished from their bodies and appeared in neat piles on the altar that had been positioned in front of where Sslethiss had been imprisoned.
Elicor blinked, he was standing in front of the pile of pillows, completely naked
"Where's Draeth?!" he shouted at the snake after looking around
"Calm down worry-butt!" He heard a familiar voice say. He looked towards the naga and saw Draeth sitting in it's coils.
"This guy is fine! He really doesn't want to hurt us."
Elicor gingerly stepped onto the pillows and approached them, Sslethiss smile seemed oddly reassuring.
"Now you are both here, my name isss Sssslethisss."
"My name is..."
"Draeth and Elicor, I know. I have dreamed of you for almossst eight thousssand yearsss. In order to waylay your next questionsss, I do not know where thessse dreamsss came from but they told me you two would free me from my prissson. And I ssshall reward you in the way of Naga'ss."
He reached out with a large hand and lifted Elicor's head to meet his beautiful gaze.
"Do not fear young mage, I ssshall make thiss a night to remember." He hissed gently. He tightened his coils slightly, gathering the two smaller furs in his soft lengths and hugging them with his coils.
"Mmphf...ooh, so warm..." Draeth sighed, snuggling down
"Yeah..." Elicor agreed
"Now...Allow me to sssing...I have not sssung for thoussands of yearss and my sssoul yearnsss too!" Sslethiss said, closing his eyes. He opened his mouth and a long mellow note was produced. Sslethiss began sining a song in a most beautiful voice. Elicor and Dreath could not understand the language he sang in, nor could they pick out any discernable words. It was slow and mellow, Nagas were known throughout legend for their singing. It was said they could lull the gods themselves to sleep.
For hours Sslethiss sang, Draeth and Elicor nestled within his coils. The song had lulled the two furs into a half trance. Not quite asleep but not quite awake. Eventually Sslethiss stopped and looked down at the furs.
"Did you enjoy that?" he asked
"Hmmm? Oh yes! I loved it!" Draeth said, sitting up "It was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard..."He trailed off as Sslethiss leaned forwards and kissed him on the lips. Draeth closed his eyes as the snakes large tongue slid inside his mouth and coiled round his own. Elicor sat up and saw the kiss, he opened his mouth to speak but the tip of Sslethiss' tail slid up to the dragons lips and slid inside Elicor's mouth. Elicor smiled and suckled gently on the end of the tail. Sslethiss scales had a pleasant spicy taste, like cinnamon. Sslethiss broke the kiss with Dreath and fondled the wolfs sheath gently, Draeth moaned as his hard member slid out of its sheath. Sslethiss licked his lips before wrapping his tongue around the wolf meat before him. His soft hot tongue felt gorgeous as it engulfed Draeths cock. Elicor meanwhile was lying on his back , the tip of Sslethiss' tail was playing with his genital slit, making him aroused, his long black cock emerging only to be coiled up by the tail. Sslethiss pleasured the two furs with tongue and tail for hours, not letting them cum. Dreath and Elicor writhed in pleasure under the naga's ministrations. They bucked and writhed, thrashed and moaned, begged for release, But Sslethiss denied them their climax until the very end. One last squeeze from tounge and tail caused Elicor and Draeth to call out in unison as they climaxed. So great was the orgasm that lights danced in front of their eyes, Sslethiss happily swallowed Draeths seed, and licked Elicors off his tail.
Draeth and Elicor lay, panting
"O-o-oh...wow..." Elicor managed
"H-h-how l...long was that?" Draeth gasped
"Ssseveral hoursss." Sslethiss said with a smile "I sssaid I would reward you and sssso I ssshall, but now iss my turn to fill you with my ssseed."
He pulled Elicor over to where Draeth was lying and tunred them both onto their hands and knees.
"Raiss your tailsss like a female would to her mate." He commanded. Both Elicor and Draeth complied, raising their tails and letting them flop to one side
"Excellent." Sslethiss said and bent down.
His large thick tongue slipped out of his mouth and he buried his nose in Draeths soft, furry rump, eating him out and coating his tail hole and balls with saliva. Draeth moaned at the attention, his head slumping onto the pillows, his rear still in the air.
"Thatsss right, sssubmit to me..." Sslethiss hissed, raising his head from Draeths butt, a long string of saliva dribbled out of his mouth onto Draeths butt. The naga turned to Elicor and did the same to the dragon, Elicor slumped to the pillows with a groan. He opened his eyes and saw Draeth smiling at him, he smiled back and their lips locked. Sslethiss smiled and stroked his two large penis's, small rivers of pre-cum oozing out from the tips of each one. The thick clear substance pooling on Draeth and Elicor's rumps, running down their backs and onto their heads. The pre quickly coated the two smaller furs, trapped in a film of love fluid they moaned in ecstacy.
Sslethiss lowered the tips of his cocks to the two furs' tail holes and gently eased himself in. his large members spreading the dragon and the wolf, their passage made easy by all the pre and the saliva. The Naga leaned over the two smaller furs, his arms hugging them to him as he began to slide in and out of their tight holes. Elicor and Draeth moaned as their slick bodies were rubbed against the snakes smooth chest. Their insides filled with the snakes large warm lengths, Draeths member rubbed against Elicor's, the coating of pre-cum making the rubbing almost frictionless.
"Gaaahh! Yess! I want to hear your sssweet voicesss, raisssed in ecssstacy!" Sslethiss moaned, pumping harder, his slick cocks sliding in and out of Elicor and Draeth like well oiled pistons.
Elicor and Draeth could not hold back the orgasm that waited them. They cried out in rapture as they came, their thick seed coating each others bellies. Sslethiss thrust his cocks to the hilt in each of them and climaxed, his thick, hot, white seed, filling them with heat. The two furs hugged each other tight and moaned as jet after jet of hot semen filled their bowls and flowed from their tail holes. The cum pooled in thick puddles on the floor as Sslethiss lay himself down, the two furs still impaled on his cocks and clutched to his chest.
"Eight...thoussssand...yearssss...I have waited for that...." Sslethiss panted
He looked down and the sticky furries in his arms. They were hugging each other tightly and had snuggled up to him, the each wore a satisfied, blissful smile
"I won't forget thisss..." The naga hissed gently
Draeth blinked and opened his eyes, he was hugging Elicor and they were curled up on...grass? Draeth sat up and looked around. The temple was no where to be seen, they were lying outside in a huge grassy clearing. The sun shone down on them, it's warmth felt warm on Draeth's oddly clean fur. He looked around and saw all their equipment and clothing piled neatly next to them. On each pile was a golden pendant. Draeth picked one up, It was a coiled snake, each coil making up part pf the pendant. The detail was amazing, it's eyes were closed and a happy smile was spread across it's snout. Draeth stroked his fingers gently over the surface. Elicor sat up and rubbed his eyes, looking over to Draeth, he crawled over.
"What's that?" he asked
"A gift..."
Elicor picked up the second one. As he did a soft, familiar voice echoed through their heads.
"Consider this a thank you from our night of love and my release. These pendants will protect you from all but the most powerful of evils. Wherever you go, my kind and my cousins will help you, simply show them the pendant and ask. Continue to love each other like you have and you will find only happiness in your lives....and fear not...we shall meet again..."
Draeth smiled and looked at Elicor. The dragon smiled and they drew each other into a hug, kissing tenderly, falling sideways onto the soft springy grass.
