Theodor felt the heat of the late summer evening as he walked the long dusty road, leading him past the several wheat fields and, he hoped, closer to his destination. The long fur of the anthro Golden Retriever provided more warmth to his body than he thought pleasant and he looked forward to entering his old friend's new home, as he thought a castle made from mostly marble and other kinds of stone cool compared to this cauldron hot highway. In the pockets of his brown denim shorts; the only clothing Theodor wore, he still had the letter he recently received from his old friend Aldebar.
He had not seen his childhood friend for many years now as Aldebar had moved far to the east, seeking his fortune near the bigger cities when he grew tired of the farming society back in Theodor's home town Hinfiron, which was actually one of the bigger towns in the area.
In the letter Aldebar described the way he had surprisingly inherited this marble castle and a piece of land and a title as well, which made Theodor wonder if his friend, being at times deviously cunning during their childhood, had manipulated some lineage lawyers or counselors in some extraordinary way.
Aldebar also wrote that he would like to use this as a chance for him to reestablish the contact with his old friend, inviting him to stay with him for a week or two if Theodor could afford a substitute for his farm.
Theodor was eager to see this fabulous place and though he was not exactly wealthy, he had left his home, annoyed knowing that his few employees would doubtless slow down their working pace during his absence.
He had timed it so that he could get a ride from his neighbor, who was heading east on his horse wagon, and was now following the very general directions in the letter, not sure whether this was the right way; Aldebar had only written in which region his new residence was, told that it had been built some way from the city as the former owner liked privacy, and that he, when coming from the highway should look for an abandoned mill and then turn right.
After having walked for some time Theodor sighted the old mill and soon he was standing next to it, pausing a few seconds as he saw the horizon beginning to swallow the sun in west.
As he would not like to look for castles in the dark he moved away from the highway and headed down a small path leading into the outskirts of the huge forest he had seen at his right for most of his trip.
Above him the many beeches formed a natural archway, darkening the path that lead forward for a long distance; Theodor could spot the end of the forest far in front of him and walked more slowly now since this place was moderately cooler than the open land.
Aldebar had told him that the castle had all sorts of exquisite banquets and that he had an excellent amount of servants, making him feel like a king, and Theodor was more than ever looking forward to seeing all these things now he knew that he was heading the right way.
He woke from his thoughts and anticipations when he spotted a shade melding in the shadows in the side of the road near the end. He focused on the silhouette as he neared it, and when he came closer he saw that it was a raven standing with his back turned who, seemingly, had not noticed him although he had not moved silently at all.
The raven was looking slightly upwards as if he was considering something, but as Theodor lifted has paw to tap his right shoulder he quickly turned and held moved his arms near his face so that his wing feathers provided a shield against a possible attack from the Golden Retriever.
"Hey I'm sorry if I surprised you but I really..." Theodor began, but the stranger quickly replied "I knew you were there" he started relaxing when he saw that Theodor was standing there quite surprised himself and not very threatening.
"So what do you want?" The raven continued, slightly friendlier but still not seeming as if he trusted him.
"I am looking for the 'White Cat's Castle'" Theodor explained "A friend of mine recently inherited it and he has invited me to live with him for some time".
"Hmm mostly interesting that such a humble farm lad should be noble isn't it?" The raven murmured sarcastically, but before Theodor could reply, the mysterious stranger rather indifferently said "just walk straight forward till you're out of the forest and you should be able to spot it".
"Well thanks. That sounds really good 'cause I've been traveling for a while now"
Theodor said, but as the raven did not seem to be in the mood for conversations in general, he thought it might be the best to just continue onward when the dark bird shrugged his shoulders and headed back to the road Theodor came from.
Theodor went on, and he soon saw the twilight sky above him. Less then half a mile in front of him he saw in the mist what could be nothing but the White Cat's Castle.
Theodor sped up, ran over the grassy areas, past a great crystal clear lake and within minutes he was stepping into a large courtyard, figuring this could not be the main entrance of the castle. At the end of it he spotted two silhouettes at the stone stairs leading to a backdoor into the castle. He heard music coming form over there and walked closer to meet the performers.
When he came closer he saw two young women; a collie playing some sort of guitar-like string instrument and a unicorn singing a joyful song in a strange language. They immediately ceased when they noticed him, smiled quickly and then stood up and went through the backdoor before Theodor could manage to present himself.
Theodor was slightly confused for a moment, but he then shrug his shoulders and thought that he had to tell Aldebar that he certainly had some unusually shy staff members, if that was what two Furs were.
He began walking around the huge castle, admiring the marble pattern in the walls and the extreme size of the castle; it was actually lower than most royal residences he knew of, but what it lacked in height it had in width; it took him longer than he thought at first to walk to the main entrance, and when he finally got there he did not hesitate to knock on the door.
Soon he heard footsteps from the inside and the gate-like door was then opened.
An elderly fox in an extravagant suit bid him welcome, and when Theodor showed him the letter he nodded his head and said "Just a second sir, I'll tell my master that you have arrived at last"
He then went to a hole in the wall and loudly called:"Your guest has arrived Milord"
His voice went upwards echoing and Theodor stepped inside to see what fancy mechanism could have caused this. What he saw was an arched marble pillar coming out from the wall above the hole the butler had spoken into, leading upwards to the next floor and above. It carried the voice, adding force to it so that a message could easily be heard at any floor in the castle. In front of Theodor a massive wooden staircase led upwards to a total of four floors consisting of balcony-like marble ledges giving access to the above ground-level rooms. Fine, symmetrical patterns were carved into the stairs that had small bridges leading to the marble floors built out from the wall. In the ceiling Theodor suddenly saw a huge painting of a young white feline; assumingly the castle's former owner.
It filled up the entire ceiling, but was faded and craggy at places so it made good sense to Theodor that the castle had now been passed to its new owner if this was the former one.
On each side of the walls parallel to the staircase there were several doors; most of them shut. At the back wall, there were two large doorways, one on each side of the staircase, which also led into corridors containing even more chambers, the butler explained as he saw Theodor's wondering face expression.
Suddenly Theodor sighted his old friend, the black and brown Doberman was quickly stepping down the stairs; he had not changed much in looks, besides being notably physically stronger than the last time Theodor saw him some years ago.
"So good to see you again" Aldebar shouted smilingly when he was midways on the lower stairs.
-"It's been a while huh?" Theodor said as they hugged each other firmly, as they laughing beat each other's backs furiously. "It is indeed a fabulous place you have got here!" Theodor said overwhelmed as the butler nodded at Aldebar and then went to the second floor.
-"Yes indeed; I must say I didn't know that my family was a part of the White Cats' heirs but I have certainly gotten used to this luxury" Aldebar replied.
As he put his arm around Theodor's shoulder he said "Come along, I would like to hear all that you have experienced since I moved, and I can tell you about the sweet life on this castle, but I really think we should have something to eat first; or at least meanwhile"
-"Yea, I must admit that I am starving, it has been a long trip. The last part of it was by foot and you know; I like a walk but there must be limits" Theodor said.
-"Indeed, I am sorry I didn't send someone to collect you. But I never doubted your logistic skills" He said, winking.
As the went from the first to the second floor, Theodor saw several oil paintings of landscapes and different felines hanging on the walls; everything about this place seemed extremely costly and exquisite and he had to ask his old friend, as they was heading for the dining room: "Well Al, did all of this art and architecture come with the castle or have you spend some of your inherited money on improvements? 'Cause I think this would make even the king in the Homelands just a little jealous"
Aldebar grinned and ensured Theodor that this looked exactly this way the day he received the deed.
"And if you look over there" Aldebar said, nodding towards his left side as they walked the marble ledge of the second floor "you will see something much more impressive than architecture, which also came for free with this residence"
As Theodor turned, he saw two white females; a unicorn and a horse who stood as tall as Theodor's shoulders.
All they wore were pink thigh high stockings, string panties and pushup bras, sitting tightly to their slim bodies.
-"I see you like my servants" Aldebar said kindly teasing when he saw Theodor looking like he was mentally lost for a moment.
"Well they are... Quite adorable", he said as he managed to break away from the slender hips of the two equines.
-"I really have lots of servants like those two" Aldebar said proudly as they went on, "Most of them unicorn- or horsegirls, but there is also a rather cute collie girl in my staff too" he added.
"I really can't remember all those guards and chefs and gardeners and their names yet, but those girls are hard to forget, right?" Aldebar said. Theodor agreed, still a little mind-blurred. "Well good thing I am the one to chose the maid uniform around here huh?" Aldebar laughed, as they entered the dining room.
Inside the room, a long oak table had been set with lots of different deliciously smelling meals, placed on top of a steel device containing more then twenty burning candles that kept the food hot. Aldebar and Theodor sat down, and they both began eating hungrily. Theodor noticed that this room was also filled with paintings, along with display weapons hanging at two of the walls; the far wall of the room consisted of six huge windows, giving a view of Aldebar's huge area of land at dusk. The waitresses brought in additional meat as the two dogs ate, and Aldebar called for a pitcher of wine, which tasted like nothing Theodor had ever drunk before.
"This beverage is a noble worthy" Aldebar explained. "It's from our Majesty's own grape fields, and as far as I am concerned, the most expensive wine in the world. And rather strong as well" he added as he raised his glass to his old friend.
After more than an hour of eating, drinking, and telling stories of both the everyday and the unusual days at the farm, and especially life in luxury as a noble, the two friends got up from the table; slowly, as their stomachs had been filled with the luxurious feast.
Aldebar led Theodor to the other end of the room, near the window where they sat down at two comfortable armchairs. Aldebar called for a waitress to fetch two goblets and more of the king's wine.
After having sighed in please Theodor said: "That was truly an amazing dinner; you live like a king here with all those pleasures, man I really envy you" He shook his head slightly while smiling. .-"Hmm I think I should introduce you to another of my pleasures as a noble" Aldebar replied, as he grinned mystically.
He went up, and stood a little unsure for a moment as the wine had made him slightly dizzy. He then walked past a little closet-like room and into the next room through a wooden door.
After a few seconds he came back with a rather tall, brown horse who, though obviously a male was dressed up in the same kind of silk stockings, bra and panties as the waitresses. Theodor noticed that he was wearing eye-liner, mascara, eye shadow, rouge, and bright red lipstick as Aldebar dragged him closer by a hackamore attached to the horse's head.
"This is my little personal mare" Aldebar explained grinning. "She is my own gelded slave and very willing to do as I please, aren't you, my little slut doll?" he said, as he dragged to gelding to Theodor's chair.
"You should really try her skills" Aldebar said, while fondling the geldings limp sheath through the tight pink panties.
-"I really don't know" Theodor began a little nervously, although he felt rather lightheaded from all that strong wine.
-"Trust me, you won't be disappointed, she is such a beauty when she is working hard to please her master" Aldebar ensured as the gelding's cheeks seemed to become even more reddish while he looked down, letting his, long, black eyelashes rest on his cheeks.
Aldebar removed the hackamore and forced him down to his knees, so that he rested his red lips on Theodor's inner thigh.
"Go on, let her taste you" Aldebar said as he went past the dinner table and closed the door.
-"Hmm sh... He seems so pretty, that I must admit" Theodor said sheepishly, as Aldebar returned to the smaller table.
-"And a nice sex slave too" Aldebar said, impatiently rubbing the golden rings in the geldings ear. "Let's see if you can prove your talent to our guest" Aldebar said almost threatening to his slave.
The gelding immediately began kissing Theodor's thigh, making little marks as the lipstick stuck to the fur. Soon the gelding slave reached Theodor's shorts and he quickly turned and looked up at his master, bowing his head submissively, and only moving his eyes upwards.
"Go on, remove them my little mare slut, we haven't got all day!"
The gelding eagerly pulled down the shorts, as Theodor had begun relaxing more, now leaning back at the armchair. The horse closed his dark, girlish eyes and began licking Theodor's balls as Aldebar stood behind him, watching the process to come. Theodor was sighing in satisfaction, but Aldebar was not content.
-"You're doing it too slowly, slut" He said as he grabbed the gelding's waist and lifted him up to sit on Theodor's lap, with each of his long silken-covered legs resting on each of the Golden Retriever's shoulders.
"Now get to work, you horny mare, I know you want this badly." Aldebar said in a dominant tone that Theodor didn't recognize. However he was a little too distracted to think much about it as the gelding was now leaning forward; suckling, licking and tenderly biting his neck, as he let out little high pitched sighs of excitement.
Theodor put his arms behind his head and closed his eyes; his chest fur was getting wet with the gelding's saliva. He suddenly moaned loudly as a little shock of pleasure washed over him; the gelding had gently bitten his left nipple and was now flicking his wet, hot tongue over it excitedly.
"I think our guest is ready for the dessert now" Aldebar said after a while, looking at his old friend's erect cock which was now pressing hard against the underside of his slave's panties.
"And so am I" He then grinned hypnotically. "It's time for a ride on the little steed, get on the floor slave"
After the gelding had obeyed Aldebar's order, the Doberman fiercely pulled down the panties as well as his own trousers; revealing his big hard canine member.
The gelding's lips encircled Theodor's penis as Aldebar bent over his back. The horse's bandaged tail flagged to the side as by routine, and Aldebar growled with desire as he pressed his hard cockhead against his sex toy's unlubed tailhole.
The brown horse worked hard on Theodor's penis, making him moan in delight as he felt the pressure from the rhythmical motion of the equine's muzzle and tongue. His mane tickled ever so lightly against the Retriever's lower abdomen, and he could not help thrusting his hips forward to let his member enter deeper into sucking slave's mouth.
Theodor heard the gelding lose his breath for a second, when Aldebar thrust into him from behind. The Doberman then put his hand on the back of his slave's neck and pushed down hard, making the horse gag as Theodor's cock was pushed into his throat.
The horse was still lying on his knees with his hands around Theodor's waist, sucking so hard while pressing his tongue against the underside of Theodor's penis that the dog did not know for how long he would last.
Aldebar was now furiously humping away, while holding around the chest of the gelded horse, his fingers reaching under the bra and mercilessly pinching the big pink nipples till they swelled.
He suddenly began speaking, panting as he kept fucking his slave, his knot dangerously hitting the gelding's opening with each thrust.
"Isn't it nice, knowing that you will be my little sexy mare slave for the rest of your days?" he taunted. "You know I am the only owner of your body, and I can do anything I want to you, without anyone caring at all?" He laughed "I have certainly gotten the respect from this castle's Furs, although I had to work for it; but now they do exactly as I please, knowing that they're owned by me and that they've got nothing to say as long as I'm the boss." Aldebar kept shouting, as though as he was making a speech. Although he was not far from orgasm from the repeating stimulation of his member, Theodor looked up, surprised. He did certainly not recognize this vile, dominant tone, but he did not say anything as his daze of alcohol was topping this moment. The gelding slowed his sucking pace down a little; looking both sad and angry for a moment. Aldebar paused for a second and then continued:
"How sad it must be never to shoot your load inside a delightful mare again" Aldebar continued as he went on thrusting; now holding on to the geldings thighs.
"I can tell you, my little servants are sooo tight, that I fear I might have stretched them quite much when they've been erm, persuaded to accompany me at nighttime." he said wickedly. Again, Theodor looked as his friend in surprise; he had not imagined that his friend should be sleeping with his staff, without their agreement.
-"And on top of that they obey my every order in everyday life; if they are wise" Aldebar smirked. "Whereas you only possess a single good ability; a nice firm fuck fucking hole. You toy slut!" He roared out the last part as he obviously came inside the horse, his claws digging into the thighs while he groaned with relief. Theodor noticed that the gelding was now crying with frustration, and looking much less submissive than before though he kept orally pleasuring the Golden Retriever. Just as Theodor felt the beginning of his orgasm, the horse violently bit down on his member, causing him to scream in agony as the grinding teeth dug into his very sensitive flesh.
"AARGH help me Al!" Theodor shouted while using both his hands to push away the horse from his crotch, making the teeth scrape all the way to the tip.
Aldebar quickly threw his arms around the horse's neck and chest and brutally pulled him back, causing them both to fall prone in the floor.
The horse wildly got up and started heading for the exit, while the cum from the Doberman was still running from his stretched tailhole.
While Theodor was holding on to his bleeding penis, screaming in pain, Aldebar leaped up from the floor and sprinted for the wall at the left side of the room, swearing in anger. When Theodor looked up with a painful facial expression, he saw the hind leg of the horse as he rushed out of the room and down the balcony hallway. Aldebar had now got a hold of an bolas-armed crossbow; he jumped over the dining table and stopped just outside the entrance to the room, aiming for a second and then firing the weapon. Theodor was still sitting in the armchair, but form the Doberman's satisfied smile and the sound of tumble he knew that he had hit his target.
While the castle's medic; a silent but evidently professional skunk was bandaging Theodor's sore member; assuring him that the damage was only moderate and that the healing salve would do wonders, Aldebar dragged the gelding into the small closet-like room by the hackamore.
The horse looked terrified and whimpered wordlessly as Aldebar held his arm tightly behind his back with his left hand.
When Theodor had thanked the medic, the skunk left the room as Aldebar nodded at him appreciatively. The door was closed and Theodor finally said out loud what he had thought during the threesome:"I don't think you are treating your slave nor your servants very well if what you said was true, Aldebar; not that I understand why I should get, eh assaulted like this" he said while staring at the gelding, slightly frightened. "But neither can I see why you should speak this way; I think you have changed a lot since the last time I saw you"
"I just wanted..." The gelding began; this was the first time Theodor had heard him speaking, but Aldebar slapped him in the face: -"You're not allowed to talk unless I permit it, slave!" Aldebar said furiously.
"Look Theo, I really apologize for my slave's behavior; I assure you she shall get a proper punishment for this my friend."
"Al, I really don't know, maybe it was your taunting that simply..." Another hand hit the gelding's cheek as he had nodded slightly while Theodor spoke. -"Look Theo, I am a noble and I do as I like; I would always listen to you but this is my slave so this time I am to decide what is going to happen, is that clear?"
Theodor just sat in the armchair, stunned; the fog of booze which had doused his mind was beginning to wear off but he was still pretty shocked after his member had been aggressively bitten. He somehow felt that someone responsible for something as painful as this might need a punishment of some sort. Theodor just shrugged his shoulders and looked down while letting out an "okay..."
"But I..." The gelding started, but this time Aldebar thrust his knee into his stomach in rage.
"You have attacked the most vital organ of a Fur; just because you will never get hard again it doesn't mean that you have the right to sink your teeth into the dick of those who can! You obviously don't know your place, slut! For this I'll make you scream like a filly for mercy!" Aldebar shouted so loud that Theodor thought that the whole staff of the castle might have heard it. As Theodor sat watching, not quite sure about the situation, Aldebar violently dragged the gelding into the small room and closed the door.
Theodor stood up and then walked out to the balcony hallway.
As to judge from what Aldebar had said, his dominant behavior, and how everyone were so silent around him Theodor thought that he might be leading some terror regime at his castle, if it was even to be owned by him.
His new personality didn't at all resemble his own, and Theodor considered that his staff was more likely to obey him because of fear than respect and salary.
Theodor leaned his arm at the doorframe; no other Furs were to be seen. While carefully pressing a finger against the tip of the bandage sticking our of his sheath, Theodor decided that he did not really want to stay here anymore; the power seemed to have obscured his old friend, it seemed that he had become a shameless, threatening egoist who only cared for his own needs and threatened those who disagreed to shut up.
Theodor went back and began putting on his trousers again. He heard low moans from the little room and froze complete when a loud scream cleaved the air; it did really sound like a little filly crying in fear and pain.
Theodor sat down at the edge of an armchair; he did not really know what to do.
After a while, Aldebar returned from the room with the gelding, who was walking as if every step caused him great pain. The large Doberman brutally pushed him into the next room, shut the door and locked it with a key from above the doorframe. He then said:
"Look, Theo I am really sorry for this. If I had had any idea that she would do this..." Aldebar then hesitated and Theodor said "Well Aldebar, don't be mistaken; it's not like I like to be bitten down there, but your slave might just have gotten enough of your abusive taunting; you really seem to have changed a lot."
-"So you forgive her for biting your dick halfway off?!" Aldebar said "Just because I spoke to her as she is worthy to be spoken to?"
"No... Well I don't know" Theodor said
-"Well I don't!" Aldebar said loudly, "that's why I anal fisted that little rebel slut, bet she likes it all the same, might whip her tomorrow for that too" He said the last part in a lower voice.
"Aldebar, you're not the Fur I knew once, the alcohol surely shows your true personality, and I'm going to leave, you're mistreating your staff and I have no idea why they would keep working here"
-"Stop that nonsense Theo" Aldebar replied. "Just because I'm aware that I'm the boss? As for the staff they are here by contract and can be declared outlaws if the abandon their duty, that's the laws for noble's employees, and besides, I don't think they mind a little discipline, their old lord was a weak pansy as from what I have heard" He continued
"Well, it's kinda late so why don't you join me in the monarch chamber? Separate beds, don't worry" He joked as if Theodor's frustration had already gone.
-"Sorry Al... I'm leaving, I'm afraid that you've changed too much for the two of us to be friends anymore."
As Aldebar snorted in an offended manner behind him, Theodor quickly turned and rushed down the giant staircase, looking down at a maid as he did so; he really pitied them for being bound to serve Aldebar as what seemed legal sex slaves, but since they were still here, he knew that what Aldebar had said about the laws had to be true.
As Theodor stood in front of the great wooden door on his way out he stopped for a minute and thought that that he ought to do something to help these Furs. But soon he realized that Aldebar had the law on his side no matter what, and that it was totally up to the noble himself to decide how to rule his possessions.
"Get out of my castle you unthankful bastard!" He heard Aldebar shout from the second floor, he quickly turned his head and looked up, but he could not see the Doberman. Theodor hastily opened the heavy wooden door and went outside; into the darkness.
The only source of light besides from the dark purple, clouded sky was a few windows on the upper floors of the giant castle, and Theodor thought that he simply had to make his way to the highway in this late hour in order to maybe stay overnight at the old mill or something like that.
He would no way try to sneak into the castle as he did not want to meet Aldebar again; both because of his new dislike to him and because he had no idea what punishment he might have figured out for Theodor's leaving.
He walked around the castle as before, came past the courtyard and was about to turn towards the direction that led to the path in the forest at the end of Aldebar's garden, when he heard a soft noise at his front left:
"So you're his visitor?" Through the dim light Theodor spotted a rather tall shape standing outside a small shed-like wooden building beside the castle wall.
He went closer and when he was e few meters from the doorway, an oil lamp was lit inside the shed and he saw a grey unicorn mare wearing a white and green druid's robe looking at him.
"Things didn't go quite as expected?" She said as she smiled faintly.
Instead of asking who the woman was, Theodor just explained: - "No I got thrown out; he told me about his way of ruling this castle and I didn't really want to stay with him anymore after that, so it's not a problem that I had to go. Now I just need to find my way home again after this disappointing one-day vacation" He then sighed
-"Well I'm glad that you don't agree in his opinions" The unicorn said "We feared that you might be a staying assistant for our cruel ruler"
-"No not at all, he is totally out of his mind..." Theodor said and then paused for a second "Well I better be going, I have a long way to my home; all that travel time just to find out that my old friend has become a wicked... Noble or whatever"
-"Yes he certainly is wicked; not a good Lord at all. He is acting as if we are his personal slaves; I wonder if that's ever going to change" The unicorn said cheerlessly
-"Yea, I'm sorry that I can't really do much for you, I just gotta find my way home in the darkness and never return here I guess" Theodor replied sadly.
-"I bet you already told your friend what you think of his behavior, and as long as he is a noble, not much can be done without breaking the law, risking severe penalty." She said and then continued: "It's too late for long journeys now in my opinion, you can stay here at my humble druid hut if you want to" she smiled.
-"Yea I guess that would be a good idea, as long as he won't find me here" Theodor replied
-"Heh, don't worry, Aldebar doesn't give a damn about herblore; you'll be safe here, I promise"
-"Thank you very much..." Theodor said as he entered the hut.
-"Melodia, I am the druidess of this castle" The unicorn replied. "I'm Theodor, kind of just a farmer" he said, shaking her hand quickly as he noticed that her long legs made her one and a half head taller than him. -"Oh all kinds of trades are needed to keep our society going" Melodia replied cheerfully as she closed the door behind them.
They sat down on a wide cushion-filled couch in the small hut. As the smell of different herbs filled Theodor's nostrils they talked about Aldebar's behavior; Theodor telling about his former personality and what he had seen and heard after the dinner and Melodia telling about his terrorizing manners; it did not surprise Theodor much, as it matched the facts of Aldebar's drunken shouting.
As the Doberman had said, the employees were bound by legal contract which was passed to the next heir when an old one passed away. Many of the staff members had been employed quite shortly before the former Lord's death, and none had been employed after Aldebar's ownership of the lands had started.
Theodor found that Melodia was quite determined that the Furs living in the castle should endure and never show weakness until something could reveal Aldebar as a deceiver, ("Seriously, you didn't think that a canine could inherit a place called "The White Cats'" castle?") which Theodor now more than ever thought to be true.
After a while Melodia said "Someday, maybe soon we shall get a rid of him, one way or another, but that's not tonight. You better get some sleep now and I'm..." She yawned "Pretty tired too"
-"Yea if I can sleep after this experience of the new Al and his punishment of that horse" Theodor shrugged. (He had left out the biting part)
He then said "well where should I... eh"
He stopped halfway in his sentence as Melodia had gone up and casually had dropped the rope to the floor, leaving her long slim body completely naked; apart from a druidic wristband, which did not catch Theodor's attention.
She turned towards him as she said, smiling "I'm afraid there is only this one bed, but if you don't mind sleeping tight there should be no problem"
-"Uh..." Theodor began as Melodia went past him and blew out the flame in the oil lamp.
-"Well I'm going to bed now, and I just thought, if you need some comfort you're free to join; just for comfort" she then said.
Theodor did not quite know what to do, but he felt stupid just sitting there so he just quickly slid out of his shorts which were rather hot in the warm spring evening, and then crept into the bed after a moment of hesitation.
At first he lay down next to Melodia but there was not really much space so he was kinda about to fall out of the couch.
He suddenly felt her arms grabbing his shoulders as she lifted him on top of her saying: "This way there's plenty of space, don't you think? Besides I'll make sure you'll get no nightmares"
Theodor started relaxing as he let his head rest on her large silky-soft bosom. She then silently embraced him, and he could not help being a little ashamed by their nude contact. But as Melodia acted so calmly; not seeming to mind at all, he quickly relaxed completely and fell asleep to the rhythm of her heartbeat.
Theodor woke up early; he was still lying on top of Melodia, who was peacefully asleep. He carefully got out of the couch, and fetched her robe to cover her naked body, now that her former blanket had decided to get up.
Theodor usually hated getting up early and he was always tired and grumpy during the first hours of work at the farm, but somehow he felt totally rested today. He blamed the soft breasts he had used for pillows for his early liveliness; "Gee if all women were like this Éradorr would be a merry place" he thought as he sighed, considering what he should do and were he should go now.
"I somehow think I ought to do something" Theodor thought. He considered the fact the he might have been the only Fur from the outside to get this close to Aldebar since he took over the castle. He knew something other visitors might not have been told. Despite Melodia's advice about not trying to stop Aldebar directly, Theodor suddenly had an idea.
Long ago, when his parents were ruling the farm, a traveler from the Mainland had come by Hinfiron, asking for a place to stay until he had to return to some fight arena some distance from town. During his stay he had told about his work for the king and that if they ever went to the Mainland, he would gladly introduce such hospitable farmers to the king's advisors if they were ever in trouble. They should just ask for... Ort! That was his name.
As far as Theodor remembered, his parents had just taken this as a sign of his gratitude and they had never considered going to the great mainland. (Neither had they ever been in any trouble) Maybe it WAS only a sign of gratitude, but Theodor was now determined that something should be done, and he would try to seek out Ort and ask if he could help him in any way although there was probably little chance that he would even find him. But if he succeeded, the king's circle of advisors had huge influence and could surely make things happen, especially in the name of justice.
Theodor had made his decision, it might not big such a big deal for the advisors, but it would not hurt trying to ask for their help via Ort, if he could even remember Theodor.
