The Desert Oasus

Written By: Sylas Graves

The unforgiving sun beat down on the sands of the Umbran desert as Aleksander continued his search for the chimera known as Zeal. The last time he met the chimera face to face he had been embarrassingly defeated by the creature and wanted a rematch. As a felsteed he had his pride and no matter how much he tried to shove this notion off, the wound needed to be returned to the chimera. Though to find a heavily furred creature here in the middle of the desert seemed a bit perplexing. Surely, Lady Shadowstar would not have fed him incorrect information... Could she have really led him in the wrong direction for the purpose of protecting an unnatural creature like Zeal?

After many hours of hoofing it through the sand the city of Wellspring would be coming up on the horizon soon, or so he hoped. Turning to find the rings in the sky Aleksander squinted against the bright sun and found them, using an old technique of using the position of the rings in the sky he was able to make an educated guess at what time it was.

"A little before noon." Aleksander grumbled. "If it wasn't for my elemental being flame walking like this during the day would be the end of me. I pity the souls that thought they could cross these sands without a mount. Though considering how cold it gets at night on the Umbran plains I suppose there really is no good time to traverse these sands." The large black felsteed spoke to no one in particular. The large black stallion looks back towards where Wellspring should be, his red eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of life, only to find nothing.

The stallion sighed to himself and tugged off his white long sleeve tunic to reveal a rippling muscled chest covered in short black hair to the sun. Shaking out his mane of hair he lets out an exasperated nicker, feeling the mana from the heat of the desert continue to charge his internal "Mana battery". The stallion was, in the definition of most women, the sight of perfection. Extremely well muscled as a warrior should be the short black hair that covered his equine body did nothing to hide the sculpted musculature and six-pack abs. The felsteeds mane was long and soft, obviously well cared for and his bangs fell into his red eyes. Aleksander had always considered himself a cross between a Clydesdale and something else but could never find a second equine breed to cross himself with. Running his right hoof through his hair he once more began to trudge through the sands towards where the city should be.

"I suppose I should be thankful though. Had Zeal picked someplace like Crooked Top I would be so screwed it's not even funny." Aleks shivered at the thought of it. Crooked Top Harbor is known as the bottom of the world of Umbris and is one of the coldest places on the planet. For a flame based Felsteed like himself it would have been very hard for the stallion do what he is now as there is nearly no Fire Mana to charge himself off of. "Though I kind of wished he had picked someplace like Beckshire. It would have been decent weather and plenty of all forms of Mana to use for spells. Ah well, if I catch him here I will have a distinct advantage over him in a fight." Once more speaking to himself Aleksander kept up his trek through the shifting sands.

Finally after what felt like hours the large well muscled stallion laid eyes on the city of Wellspring in the distance. His first thought was to bathe in the springs of Wellspring. The city was well known for cool clean waters that seemed to endlessly bubble from hidden springs under the city. The City truly could be considered the definition of a desert oasis. The only problem is that the city was also infested with the darkness known as the black market. The slave trade was incredibly profitable on Umbris, throw in a city that sets as far away from any other city as it can and in an inhospitable environment and you have the best place for the trade to make its home. It would probably be another hour until Aleksander would reach the city. No matter how much he hated water sometimes, right now Wellsprings famous waters sounded amazing to the stallion.

Oasus couldn't believe it, he had been promised freedom! A strange looking feline creature had come to him during the night and said that someone would be coming soon and as long as he passed off the information that he had to this person, Oasus could be freed of his servitude.

"He's a large stallion." The Stranger had spoken. "Black as the Umbran nights and as muscular as any of these guards. He will be looking for a man named Zeal and all I need you to do is tell him I was here and I am heading south to the border check point." The creature flashed a smile from under his hooded clothing. Oasus would swear forever that this creature was dressed as a formal assassin, though without seeing the emblem of the assassin he would never know for sure. Oasus stared up at the man, mystified at how he knew that this stallion would grant him freedom but who was he to look a gift horse in the mouth. Without being able to see any of the creatures face due to the shadow of the hood, all Oasus could see was two glowing streaks of light blue and the shimmering white teeth of that smile.

"Your name is Zeal?" Oasus asked weakly, obviously extremely submissive.

"I go by many names anymore, but many call me Zeal." The Creature answered back, another shimmering grin coming from under the shadow of the hood. "Though in this area of Umbris I'm known as Cheshire." The joke was not wasted on Oasus. Though he was a slave, his previous owner had been kind enough to educate him well. One of his favorite stories was Alice in Wonderland, the nickname "Cheshire" being a reference to the story. With the way his glowing stripes and grin were the only things in the darkness Oasus could see, it made plenty of sense.

"That is a cheeky joke, seeing how little I can see of you." Oasus quipped. "How do you know this stallion is coming and that he will grant me my freedom?"

"Aleksander isn't a bad guy." Cheshire responded calmly. "He's a felsteed, a demon. Though his heart of flame does not burn for the destruction of this land like many demons do. He's kindhearted and generous, often times lacking in tact though. He won't see you suffer, especially since you're an intelligent young man. I can't ensure you he will free you, however, I have a feeling in my gut that Aleksander will release you from your torment and give you a comfortable life."

"That..." Oasus paused to find an educated word to use to explain how he felt about this turn of events. "That would be move efficacious!" He looks up where Cheshire had been standing only moments before to find an empty room. "How in the world?!" Oasus looked around the room, the bondage ring on his collar jingling in the darkness of the night. "I didn't even hear him open the door."

Oasus walked over to a nearby mirror on the wall and looked at himself. His fur was a horrible mess seeing as none of the traders would allow him to bathe. His usually burnt orange fur was now a mottled messy brown and he was sure his smell would probably turn any gentleman away. Slowly reaching up he ran his paw over his forehead where the strange marking on his fur would normally be, finding it covered in dirt and grime, nearly nonexistent. As far as he could tell the only thing that stood out to anyone would probably be his intelligent green eyes, the color of jade his old master had told him.

Thinking of his old master drew a long sigh from the dingo. It was bound to happen eventually, his previous owner had been quite old when he first purchased Oasus. "All good things must come to an end." He thought aloud. Thus was the case in his life anyhow, his old master whom had been so kind to him growing up finally passed away due to old age. At least that is what he had been told. Oasus had a feeling that it had been a bit sudden and underhanded that his elder owner would just fall over dead. Oasus was a decently rare sight in these parts being a dingo from another part of Umbris. So of course when his master refused to sell him to the traders someone would have him killed so that they could get their grimy paws on him. He had no proof, but it made sense to the intelligent slave boy.

"Someday I will know the truth..." Oasus heaved a heavy sigh and once more turned to the night sky, losing himself in the stars and the sight of the outer ring of Solaris slowly moving across the star filled plane.

Finally Aleksander stumbled through the gates of Wellspring, grumbling under his breath with every step. He had made it to the city but his estimation of an hour was completely wrong. It had taken him another 8 hours to reach the gates of the city, thanks to the ever wonderful heat based thing called a mirage.

"Fucking hell! You would think I would understand the basics of distortion due to heat." The stallion muttered to himself. "At least the sun set a few hours ago. Throw in the lower ring of Solaris blocking light for a portion of the afternoon it wasn't that bad. Still, it's late and I need to find a place to stay for the evening." Aleksander looked around a bit and found the most luxurious inn he could find. Being a "Lord" in this realm had its perks, one of which is money. Just like anywhere else on Antiquus Novum, money meant luxury and luxury was exactly what he wanted right now.

After settling into a large suite Aleksander quickly changed his clothing from the sweat soaked outfit he had been wearing during his trip through the desert and set them in a bit to be washed this evening. He then pulled on a pair of loose fitting pants to head to the springs in, not bothering with a shirt even in the cool evening. Aleks left his room and his bags behind, minus his money pouch of course, and headed towards the springs which were clearly marked on the main streets of the city.

It occurred to Aleks as he walked that it was very possible that Zeal had come through this city using the back alleys as a hiding ground. The Chimera was street smart and trained it seemed in the ways of the Assassins of Umbris. It's impressive that the Chimera had dedicated the time to learn some of the arts of the Shadow Assassins. They were the best mercenary force on the face of Umbris and its rumored they had a branch or two on Solaris as well. Though that was a bit harder to swallow since laws on Solaris are far more strict and controlled thanks to their centralized government.

Shaking his head and putting his thoughts back on track Aleks makes a detour down a dark alleyway following it until it broke off in two directions. Picking to continue heading in the direction of the springs Aleks followed the dark streets with little worry. If anyone picked a fight with him there would be no question about his victory. The stallion could feel the heat from his body, mana of flame overflowing from him.

As Aleksander followed the alleyway he noticed a young man cleaning up what appeared to be slave pens. The canine couldn't be a day over 20 and was absolutely filthy. It was hard to tell in the low light if the dogs fur was just dirty or if his natural color was actually the dusky brown-black that covered his body. The boy was trim but obviously well taken care of, had he been a man selling something on the main streets Aleksander probably would have stopped to browse the canines wares. The stallion couldn't help but smirk at that thought, browse his wares and end up asking him to dinner and then browsing his other goods as well. It had been some time since he had enjoyed the company of another in his bed, he found himself wondering how long it had really been and who it was.

As Oasus scrubbed the slave pens he noticed a black figure begin to emerge from the shadows of the alleyways. At first he figured it was just another pervert coming to look for a quickie with a slave on the streets. However, as the large black imposing figure came nearer Oasus' heart began to pound, remembering what Cheshire had said to him. Then his heart began to pound for another reason, the stallion was absolutely desirable! Oasus dropped his scrub brush to adjust his collar around his neck and gulped nervously.

Aleks continued to delve into his memory and was getting frustrated he couldn't remember who or when his last time in bed with someone had been when his thoughts were interrupted.

"Excuse me, sir." Oasus spoke as he stepped out of the pen he had been cleaning. "Would you happen to be Aleksander?"

"Uh...Yes, I am Aleksander Coldthorne." Aleks stopped in his tracks, preparing for anything. How had this young man known his name?

"I see." Oasus took a breath and smiled shyly. "My name is Oasus and I was given a message to relay to you."

"A message?" Aleksander snarled. This may not end well. If this dogs message was from an assassin he had done a wonderful job of hiding his abilities.

"Yes, Zeal has asked me to relay to you that he will be heading for the Southern Border Checkpoint and urges you to follow." The dingo spoke calmly as he could, sensing the stallions displeasure.

"Zeal?" Aleks stopped suddenly hearing that name. "He had glowing markings on his cheeks?"

"Yessir." Oasus nodded. "I couldn't see anything besides the markings on his cheeks and his teeth."

"Just like him to play with the shadows like that to make himself seem ominous." The stallion heaved a sigh. "The chimera has a flare for the dramatic."

"He..." Oasus started quietly. "Also suggested you may free me from my bondage here."

The felsteed was taken by surprise. "He did, did he?" Letting out a small sigh he rubbed his pointed ears and mane. "Well, I suppose I can't say my rival doesn't know me well. You said your name is Oasus?"

"Yessir, Oasus." The dingo nodded quickly, the ring on his collar jingling with the exertion.

The stallion looked the young canine over again, there was a long pause. "Any chance you know what your hourly rate is?"

"115 Senz per hour!" Oasus gave a cute grin and replied quickly.

---

"Goddess kid." Aleks huffed as he walked down the alleyway with Oasus. "115 Senz an hour? You must be pretty special to bring that rate."

"Yessir." Oasus nodded politely. "I'm from the southern continent. I'm sure you can't tell by looking at me at the minute but I'm actually a dingo."

"Ah." Aleks responded. "That explains part of it. I know a fair bit about the slave trade and I'm assuming you're still a virgin as well." Oasus' jaw dropped and his cheeks became a crimson red causing Aleksander to chuckle. "I take it I hit the nail on the head with that."

"Yessir..." Oasus shyly mumbled. He had a feeling where this was going already. The stallion wasn't going to free him, he just wanted an easy piece of ass for the evening. As he started to lag behind and losing his eagerness he felt a tug on his leash which jerked him up beside the stallion.

"Stop looking like that." Aleks demanded slightly. "I don't currently have an interest in that delightfully round rump of yours Oasus." The comment alone was enough to draw another bright blush from the dingo. "First things first, you're getting a bath in the springs and then we will have a nice meal and discuss business."

"Yessir!" Oasus nodded, his spirits restored. A bath, thank the goddess he could clean himself!

The walk to the springs was a short one since they are central to the city. Aleksander paid for the entry fee for both himself and his guest, making sure that they got the utmost care.

"You're actually a lord?!" Oasus stammered as Aleksander paid.

"Yes, I own lands to the north in the dense forested region." Aleks smirked as he spoke. While he didn't like to brag about his title, he did enjoy some of its perks. "It's nothing much to speak about but I protect the demons that have left my father's rule and wish for protection and normal lives. My brother Gabriel does something similar near the western seas."

"That's very kind of you sir!" Oasus beamed. Maybe Cheshire had been right about this stallion.

"I'm just making sure my people live happy lives without being forced into a war with the "angels" they never wanted in the first place." Aleks flicked his tail in response. "Come, we should go wash up."

Aleks tugged on the leash connected to Oasus collar and pulled him into the fancy changing rooms. It certainly didn't take a scientist from Solaris to tell Oasus what was about to happen. The Dingos cheeks lit up bright right as he watched the stallion untie the cord holding up his loose fitting cotton breeches and pulled them down. The young man couldn't help but let his jaw drop as Aleksanders horsehood came into view.

"What? Haven't you ever seen another man naked before pup?" Aleks smirked.

"N...n...n...no sir!" Oasus averted his gaze as his blush spread from his cheeks up into his large pointed ears. "Goddess I'm sorry this is embarrassing. I don't mean to stare. "

"Stare all you like pup." The stallion chuckled and smacked the dingo on his back. "I'm used to getting looks. Most stallions would be lying if they said they weren't. Now come on and undress, we need to get you washed up."

"Yessir..." Oasus nodded meekly and began pulling off his tattered sleeveless shirt and ragged trousers. His lower fur was still dirty and unkempt currently thanks to his lack of grooming.

"Hmm seems someone misplaced their lipstick..." The stallion grinned playfully?

"What?" The dingo looked down and gasped as he found that his pink tip was poking from his sheath. "Oh Goddess how embarrassing! "

Aleks was roaring with laughter as he lead the dingo by his leash into the bathing area. Oasus wasted no time rushing to the hot spring and climbing in to hide his excitement and shame. The stallion slid down into the hot spring slowly and nickered loudly as he felt the dirt and grime from his trip begin to melt away.

"You really need to clean up pup." Aleks spoke with a smile, reaching over and unclipping the leash from the dingoes collar. "Sorry I can't pull the collar off and let you wash your neck as well. All the soaps and stuff are paid for so don't hesitate to use them."

"Yessir!" Oasus eagerly slipped across the hot pool of water to grab soaps and began to wash his fur. "This is my first bath in well over a month. Those slave traders are ruthless when it comes to scrimping every penny out of a sale. They are probably all sorts of excited you're paying for this bath and then bringing me back to them clean."

"Who said I was bringing anyone back to them?" Raising an eyebrow the stallion looked over at the bathing dingo.

"What? Why wouldn't you take me back to them?" Oasus had stopped mid scrubbing of his hair to look at the felsteed.

"First off, I don't exactly agree with the slave trade." The demon horse leaned his head back and looked up at the stars above them. "Secondly, you're a handsome young pup with a lot to learn. You're obviously intelligent seeing as a few slaves I've "rented" couldn't read the labels on the soaps to know which was which." Oasus perked his ears as he realized the stallion had been testing him with the shampoos. "Throw in the fact that you're actually well cultured and polite, you're a pretty killer combination for a slave or pet. Good looks, brains and previous training with someone that was close to lordship. To say I'm not considering purchasing your collar would be an absolute lie Oasus."

Oasus just set there stunned for a moment, his paws still in the suds covering his head. He wasn't sure exactly how to take all these compliments. Instead of trying to come up with something that maybe considered rude to say to the felsteed he just shyly nods and returns to cleaning himself up.

"The whole purpose of this "rental" is to get you cleaned up, well fed and to get to know you a bit better." Aleks dunks down into the hot water to rinse off the sweat and grime. "I don't know how in the rings of Solaris that stupid Chimera knew you would perk my interest or how he knew I would find you but he knows me well enough to lead me to something of interest. So tonight we will share a nice dinner, talk for awhile and then I will make my decision on if I am to keep you or not."

Once more the dingo set in the hot water stunned by this revelation. Somehow this "chimera" that Aleks keeps speaking of, Cheshire, had known that this would all work out without ever meeting himself. This was like a dream come true! Quickly rinsing himself off in the pool of hot water Oasus was relieved to find that his once grimy fur and hair had regained its color.

"Thank you for the bath sir." Oasus bowed his head. "I feel a thousand times better than I did a bit ago. My fur actually feels soft."

"Think nothing of it pup." Aleks waved a hoof. "If you become my pet I expect you to keep your fur that way. You get yourself that filthy again and expect a punishment you would probably beg to end. Cleanliness is close to godliness after all." Oasus nodded in response and went about cleaning himself a bit better, making sure not a speck of dirt was left anywhere on his body.

Noticing a mirror just outside of the pool the dingo pushed up on the edge of the spring and bent over, lifting his bangs to see if his birthmark had once more shown up. He sighed happily to see the symbol on his forehead in a lighter fur coloring. The young pup nearly jumped out of his skin when a loud whistle rang out from behind him.

"What a view!" Aleks smirked.

Looking down at his backside Oasus realized his positioning bent over the edge of the pool had his round rear in the air. His tail had flopped upwards in a faux husky curl, exposing the entirety of his rump to the stallion. His cheeks turned another shade of crimson which was now easily visible through the clean fur on his cheeks. The dingo bit his lip and wiggled his exposed rear a bit before slipping back into the shallow pool with a grin.

"Hmm looks like you're getting a bit more relaxed with me." Aleks smiled and winked. "Good, I want you to be yourself. I was a bit worried you being a virgin meant you wouldn't know how to flirt or handle a bit more of an aggressive lover."

"To be honest sir, I don't think I could handle being the aggressor during a physical relationship. I've been a slave most of my life and don't think I have it in me to be the one to start something like that." Oasus explained, all the while his cheeks flushed as well as the insides of his ears.

"I think you have it in you once you know your partner is interested, everyone does." Aleks said. "Let's get a drink and move to the cool water pool now that you're clean. As much as I like a hot spring, I don't want to burn up in the middle of a desert." The stallion stood, once more exposing the dingo to his manhood, causing the dingo to squeak cutely and blush furiously.

The two moved to the second cool water pool, drawing a sigh of relief from the stallion. They sat there for a moment before Aleks requested the drinks from the man running the baths. A silver platter was brought out with some of the best spirits money could buy on them. Aleks slowly poured two glasses and offered one to his companion.

"I've never really drank alcohol before." Oasus admitted as he looked at the glass of fluid. "What is this stuff?" The dingo sniffed at the fluid and found it to not only burn his nose, but have a slightly sweet smell to it as well.

"It's a special type of drink made by fermenting rice." The elder stallion explained, taking a sip. "I prefer it to other spirits due to the sweet flavor. This specific bottle isn't exceptionally strong but has good flavor."

"Huh, I've never heard of this before." The dingo put his lips to the glass and gulped down the entire glass in a swallow, ending up coughing heavily. "Goddess.... It burns!"

Aleks broke out laughing. "Slow pup... Slow! Rice wine is meant for sipping!" The large stallion reaching over and pouring the dog another glass. "While there are some spirits which are meant for single gulp drinking, I prefer something I can enjoy. Zeal recently introduced me to something called a "Sour". I'm not really sure what all he put into it, but it was quite a sour drink with a form of bourbon in it. I still prefer a sweet drink to something bitter though."

The dingo nodded and having learned his lesson sipped at the glass this time. Finding Aleksander was right, sipping it was much more pleasurable than just downing the entire glass in a gulp.

"So Oasus..." Aleks began, looking across the pool at the dingo. "Tell me more about yourself. How did you end up here?"

"Oh..." Oasus spoke, lowering his eyes to the glass. "That's quite the long story."

"We have all night pup." Aleks lifted his glass and took a sip of the fluid.

"Very well. As far as I know I Was born into slavery. I believe my parents were slaves to a lord in the south, though I don't know the specifics. Anyhow, at a very young age I was sold to a wealthy researcher who took very good care of me. The man was older but very intelligent and was always researching things. I remember he had books of all sorts, from basic literature like fairy tales and stories to research books on things from Umbris AND Solaris. His primary research was on the energies of the world, things like tectonic energy, solar, even mana! He raised me showing the ropes of proper mannerisms, etiquette, and even to read and write! He told me I was quite special as not all slaves get the benefits of a basic education. He later told me that he had to educate me so I could do the things he needed me to around the house. I organized his library, ordered supplies thus making me learn basic math.." The dingo made a face at the idea of math. "I cared for the animals on his small farm and did most the things you would expect a normal child to do. As he aged however, he began having issues with his health. The slave traders took notice of not only his ailing health but also of me. I told you, my breed is very rare this far north as we usually stay in the southern areas of Umbris. They knew I would fetch them a hefty purse if I ever actually came up for market and they found the right buyer. They began visiting quite often and tried to force my owner to sell me to them. Each and every time the old man refused, telling them that it was his wish that I be set free when he passes. I thought I had earned my freedom. Then one day after a visit from the traders my owner died very suddenly, without much warning. When the authorities came after I alerted them to his death I told them to try and find my owners will, he had given me my freedom! They said they searched the entire house and never found it, but I knew the old man had one. In the end I ended up being sent back to the traders for free. To this day I still think it was an underhanded deal and someone killed the old man. I won't ever know though..."

"Hmm..." Aleks set there for a long moment and then sipped his drink again. "I never did like the trade. It a horrible thing and the story you just told me reaffirms the need to get rid of such a foul thing." The stallion heaved a sigh. "Though my supporters and I have yet to find a way to remove the black market from the world. It's just too big of an organization."

"Yeah..." Oasus responded meekly, realizing he had long since finished his second cup of the drink, without much thought he holds out his cup for another refill. Aleks raises an eyebrow at the request without a proper vocal request but smiles, knowing that Oasus was finally beginning to open up and be himself, not a pet, he poured the dog another glass.

"In the end it will just take time." Aleks smiled and sipped his third glass as well. "With me, you don't have to worry about me aging and dying. I'm a demon after all, so I don't think I will be leaving you without company for awhile if I do plan on purchasing your collar. I'm still having a hard time finding a reason NOT to though."

Oasus looked over at the stallion for a minute, unsure if it is the spirits or his desire for the kind felsteed but he could feel desire burning him up inside. The dingo slowly set his glass down on the edge of the pool and crossed the cool water, sliding into the stallions lap. Without a second thought the dingo nervously placed his paw on Aleksanders strong jaw and kissed him. At first the kiss was clumsy and shy, however as it began to feel more and more right, Oasus let the kiss deepen. Before long the kiss had become the deep passionate kiss the dingo had been longing for, their tongues danced as if entranced by a song of pure ecstasy. Aleks free hoof had found its way to the back of the young dingoes' back and pulls him tight to his muscular body. After a few minutes passed, minutes that felt like ages to them both, the kiss was broken and they looked at each other, their eyes staring into the others soul.

"Can we go eat now?" Oasus smiled shyly.

"I think that would be a divine idea pup." Aleks nodded. The stallion watched as the pup climbed out of the pool, exposing that beautiful round ass to the horse. Oasus turned and smiled innocently at the man that would be holding his leash for a few more hours, his thick red canine shaft standing proudly against his soft creamy white furred belly. Aleks let out a nicker of excitement and stepped out of the pool water cascading off his powerful body, the massive equine shaft no longer sheathed and hanging half hard between his legs.

"Oh..." Oasus stared. "Oh my that's quite... beautiful!" Aleksander simply smiled at the innocent pup and lashed the leash to the collar around the pups neck, dragging him back to the changing room to get dressed.

The pair quickly got dressed and headed on their way. Oasus walked confidently beside the stallions side, even with his leash hanging from around his neck, he felt as if he could walk beside him and not be any less of a person. Oasus jaw nearly hit the ground when Aleksander lead him back to the inn that the stallion was staying at.

"Uh, why are we going here?" Oasus nervously asked. He certainly wasn't ready to be bedded, as much as he wanted.

"A gentleman does not go to dinner in just a pair of pants." Aleks grinned as he began pulling clothing from his large bag. "I don't care if it's in the middle of the desert. I still have my own rules for myself and I won't be going to dinner without proper attire."

"Oh!" The dingo let out a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry pup, you will end up in that bed by the end of the night." Aleks said with a teasing grin. Oasus looked over at the king sized bed and blushed furiously, thought of a passionate night in bed with the stallion flitting through his imagination.

"Oh... Oh my... Yes." The pup muttered under his breath.

Finishing pulling on a rather nice looking pair of pants and a collared shirt left open to reveal his chest Aleksander couldn't help but grin. "Come on boy, time to go eat." He once more gave the leash a gentle tug and lead the pup out to a nearby restaurant.

After getting a private table away from the other patrons the stallion blinked seeing Oasus look over the menu.

"I had forgotten already you could read Oasus." Aleks commented, a tone of approval in his voice.

"Yeah, most people tend to forget that I can." Oasus replied, looking over the menu, finding himself having issues with the specific script the menus used. "I'm just not used to this specific script they are using. I want a slab of meat, a great big piece of meat."

"I told you, the bed will come later this evening." Aleks smirked as he looked over the menu.

"Huh?" Oasus set his menu down and looks at the handsome stallion. Memories of the kiss fluttered through his memory and then he got the joke! "OH! Oh my... Not quite what I was talking about sir. A steak perhaps?"

"A steak for you then? Very well, it's yours." The stallion just shook his head as the poor slave dog would need to loosen up a bit before he would be the perfect pet.

Soon a large steak was delivered for the canine and a crispy salad handed to the horse. The two talked back and forth making small talk while they ate. Oasus couldn't help himself but nearly inhale his steak, his stomach had wanted a rich meal like this for so long.

"Oh goddess!" Oasus muttered with his muzzle full. "This is SO good! It's so tender and juicy!" He cut another large bite and wolfed it down.

"What do you normally get to eat?" Aleks inquired, taking a bite of his salad.

"Gruel." Oasus said between bites. "Sometimes we get scraps but like I said, those traders want to squeeze every penny out of a sale they can. In the end, the less they feed us, the more their return when they sell us."

"Hmm I see. Even I know a canine like yourself can't live off gruel for very long. You would need some sort of meat to keep you going. " Aleks comment as he thought things over.

"Yeah, this is absolutely divine!" The pup once more said between bites. "It's almost as good as that kiss earlier!"

Raising his ears the stallion was caught off guard by the comment. "Say what?"

The dingo took another bite of steak and chewed it before answering. "That kiss? In the springs? That was the most amazing thing to ever happen to me in my life."

"I'm very happy to hear you say that Oasus. Thank you for being truthful with me." The stallion smiled warmly and flicked his ears. "Tell me pup... What do you want out of life?"

"What?" The question stopped the canine mid bite, his fork half way to his mouth. "That's a strange question coming from you."

"Not so much." Aleks set down his fork and leaned back in the large chair he's setting in. "I am curious to know what you would do with freedom if you were ever granted it."

"I dunno. I supposed I had never really thought about it after the old man died." Oasus looked at his plate for a moment and swished the piece of steak in the juices. "I suppose I would want to continue my education. I enjoyed learning. Not only the basics, I loved reading about the world around me." There was a long pause as he looked at his steak contemplating the last part. "I wish to find love too. Someone I can settle down with and would keep me happy forever. Though I suppose I don't need freedom to do that."

Aleksander sat there quiet for a long time and then stood up from the table. "You finish your meal and then return to the inn Oasus. I have an errand to run and will come back when finished." Without another word Aleks walked away from the table and vanished into the dark streets of the Umbran night, leaving the pup setting at the table alone.

The next hour or so were troublesome for Oasus. He returned to the inn as he had been told but having to return alone had rattled him slightly. His entire life he had always been attached to someone by a collar and leash. It was all he knew. No matter how hard we tried to shake it he knew this was the end. The answers he gave Aleksander to the last questions had upset him.

"What would I do with freedom?" Oasus muttered to himself. "I'd never even thought about it before that moment. Much less thought about love before this evening." The nervous dingo walked circles about the huge suite. Looking nervously to the clock as the second hand continued to tick away. "Where could he be? What is going to happen? Ugh! This is like torture!"

Finally the sound of the key in the door can be heard, the lock makes a noisy click and the door opens, Aleksander walking through the door. The stallion turns and locks the door once more.

"Alright Oasus. It's time to make a choice." The stallion had a stern look on his face as he spoke, setting down in a large easy chair in the room.

"A choice?" The dingo gulped and sank onto the bed. This was it, he was going back to the pens.

"Yes. A choice." Aleksander motioned the young man over to him. Oasus slowly walked over to the stallion and closed his eyes, completely sure that this was going to be the end of his freedom. Suddenly the canines eyes shot open as he felt his leather collar fall away, the lock having been undone with a quiet click. The slave collar fell to the wooden floor with a loud thud. "Your choice is this... You can take your freedom now, and a pouch of money enough to get you anywhere in this world you would want to go."

The canine sat there in awe for a moment before looking at the felsteed standing so close. "What is the other choice Aleksander?"

"The second choice is this." The stallion holds out a hoof and in it rests the most perfect red leather collar, a large silver bondage ring and a silver tag in the shape of a flame dangles from it. "You accept a new master and take your place by my side. You will be allowed all the luxuries of a free dog, however, when I call, you come. When I speak a command, you follow without question. I demand absolute obedience. Heart and soul, you will be mine."

Oasus couldn't find the words to speak, much less the thoughts to put together. A choice of absolute freedom, or freedom tied to someone that could give him the world. Reaching out slowly Oasus ran his paw tips over the leather that made up the red collar. The leather was nothing like what he wore before, it was soft and supple. Taking the flame shaped tag into his paw tips he looked at it, Oasus simply engraved on the back of it. His heart swelled up with pride seeing the tag, someone would proudly claim him as their own. Slowly he picked up the collar and wrapped it around his neck, he slipped the tip of the collar through the buckle and latched it in place, the tag and bondage ring jingling softly.

Suddenly something didn't feel right, the collar constricted slightly as the magic kicked in and the leather began to heat up. Panic filled Oasus as the heat continued to rise until he could feel the collar burning him. The red collar began glowing red hot and black licking flames began spreading up the dogs fur.

"I told you Oasus..." Aleksander spoke seriously, an almost evil edge filling his voice. "Your heart and soul would be mine." The black flames began spreading from the collar, covering the dogs once beautiful coat in what looked to be ash. Oasus could feel the flames of Aleksanders soul taking over his own, soon his entire body felt as if it was on fire, the black flames burning him up as he tugged at the collar with both paws.

Finally the collar stopped glowing as Oasus fell to his knees at the stallions hooves, groaning in pain as the heat died away. The red leather collar now had black flames emblazoned on it, and the buckle that once held the collar together had melted away. In its place was piece of steel holding the collar together, forever sealing the way to remove the collar.

"Stand up Oasus." Aleks gave the order with a stern voice. Without a moment's hesitation the dog rose to his feet and looked up at Aleks. "You're mine now. If you ever betray me your soul will burn forever in the flames you just felt. I do not stand for ignorance or failure."

"I understand Master." Oasus nodded, not out of fear, but out of respect for the demon.

Aleks stood there staring into the dogs eyes for a moment before the powerful demon melted away and the warm smile returned to his face. "I'm very happy to hear that Oasus." The stallion took the dingoes paw and led him back to the bed, setting down first and then pulling the pup up to straddle his lap Aleks kissed his new lover deeply. The kiss of passion returned and Aleksander pulled the dirty sleeveless shirt off the dingoes body, throwing it to the floor and letting his hooves explore the pups chest and back.

"Ah! Careful Master, my neck is quite sensitive!" Oasus panted slightly as Aleks pressed his lips to his neck, the fire of the collar remained for the moment making him quite sensitive. Oasus tugs the collar shirt off his masters powerful upper body and shudders with excitement. The canine quickly set to running his paws over every inch of Aleksanders body, studying ever curve, every inch of muscled torso. "Goddess you've got an amazing body master. I can't even tell you..."

"Then don't pup, show me." Aleks nickered.

Oasus was still very new to this idea, but whatever Aleksander had done with those magical flames caused him to burn with passion for the stallion. Any thoughts of fear or holding back had been burned away by those black flames that had lapped at the very depths of his soul. Tonight Oasus would give away his purity to a demon, a demon that had the purest heart of anyone he had ever met.

Aleks leaned in and kissed his lover deeply, his hooves working the tattered pants down the dingos legs and dropping them into the pile of clothing forming on the floor. The powerful stallion rolled the canine onto his back so that the stallion was atop of the young male. Kissing down Oasus neck slowly and across his chest.

Even as a virgin Oasus knew what was about to happen. Shivering with excitement the canine closed his eyes and let out a small woof of pleasure as he felt Aleksander engulf his rigid red shaft into that equine muzzle. The dingo couldn't help but moan as he felt every stroke of Aleksanders massive tongue work on his manhood. The Stallion slowly began bobbing his head up and down the canines thick member, his tongue playing over the tip in an almost teasingly manner, his equine nostrils flaring as he took in the scent of the dingo.

"G...Goddess Aleks, please don't stop." Oasus begged between pants and moans.

Pulling his lips off the canines cock he grinned up at the young man, stroking him slowly. "What makes you think I have any interest in stopping pup? I plan on taking you all night long."

"All night?!" The dingo barked in surprise, shuddering as the horse returned his manhood back into that warm muzzle. "Oh mrrr... Forget it, All night sounds great."

The oral pleasure continued for some time, Aleksander teasing Oasus with every trick he knew. Licking and sucking from the base of the canines red knot to the pointed tip. Oasus simply laid there and reveled in the pleasure, nothing he ever did to himself felt like this. The dingo ran his paws through the stallions mane and smiled down at him as Aleks once more slurped off his shaft.

"Is it my turn to try my paws at that?" Oasus smirked. "Forgive me if I'm not nearly a skilled as you are."

"You never learn until you try pup." Aleks said as he climbed up onto the bed and flopped on his back, looking at the inexperienced young canine. "You're welcome to try anything you like."

Oasus just laid there for a minute, taking in the massive equine shaft resting against the six pack abs. How was he ever to work this? He knew horses were huge but this was above and beyond his expectations. Slowly the young pup reached out and wrapped one paw around the thick almost spongy shaft and murred happily, it was warm and Oasus was pretty sure he could feel Aleks heartbeat thumping through it. Nervously he began stroking the huge stallion cock before him, soon wrapping both paws around the horses member and stroking eagerly.

The dingo continued this pattern for awhile before sliding close to Aleksander and leaning across his body to lap at the broad head of the stallions shaft, drawing an excited nicker from the horse. Oasus looked at the massive head before his muzzle, unsure if he could even get his jaw opened that wide. Deciding to go ahead and try he opened his small muzzle and managed to wrap it around the horses tip. Rather proud of himself the canine went to slurping and lapping at the huge head in his muzzle and doing his best to pleasure his new master. It didn't take long until the pup was rewarded with pants and grunts from the stallion.

"Good So far pup." Aleks muttered through the fog of pleasure. "Not too much longer otherwise you will be waiting awhile to claim you're no longer a virgin.

Pulling away from his masters girth he looked up at Aleks. "That would be a horrible loss this evening Sir. However, I'm not sure THAT is going to fit."

Aleksander chuckled and pulled the dingo up so he was straddling the dripping tip of his shaft. "I think it will fit just fine pup. You just need to take it slow. If it hurts stop and take a breath. My magic should keep you from getting hurt too badly."

"So there WAS magic involved." Oasus thought to himself. Reaching behind himself Oasus once more took the massive cock into his paws and this time pointed the tip under his fluffy tail. Taking a deep breath he slowly scooted backwards, feeling the slippery fluids leaking from Aleks tip already beginning to lubricate his tail hole. Releasing his first breath he takes another, preparing himself for what was to come. Finally he pressed back with enough strength that he felt his tail give way and his masters girth began to slip into his once virgin tail.

A loud nicker erupted from Aleksander. "Goddess that is tight!"

Blushing furiously Oasus continued to try to breath as he pushed his shapely ass down onto the stallions cock. Groaning as he was stretched to his limits the canine couldn't believe his first was going to be a horse. Not in his wildest dreams did he ever think that this sexy stud would ever be his first time, much less that this would become the norm for him.

This continued for quite some time, Oasus slowly inching his way down onto the stallions girth. The two exchanging kisses of passion and groping at each other's bodies. Finally after what felt like forever, Oasus felt the stallions heavy sac press to his furry rear.

"F...Fuck I'm so full Master." Oasus mumbled.

Aleksander just smirked and gently pushed the dingo into a setting position. Without another word the stallion grabbed the canines hips and slowly slid him up a number of inches before slipping his lover back down until he was once more completely sheathed in his lover. Thankfully the stallion had plenty of pre fluids to make things like and slippery.

Aleksander then began repeating the up and down motion, helping Oasus get a rhythm started. Oasus looked down at the stallion and panted in pleasure, his thoughts clouded by the amazing feelings coming from his tail. The dingo reached out and placed his paws on the stallions broad chest and began to bounce his rear up and down to the pace that was set by Aleks.

"Oh Goddess..." Oasus panted. "This is... So amazing!" He continued to slip his newly stretched ass up and down the stallions cock with a fevered passion.

Aleksander thrust his hips up against the dingoes bouncing tail and panted slightly. "It gets so much better pup. " The large stallion rolled the canine onto his back and pinned him to the bed, managing to never remove himself from the pups tight hole.

Oasus let out a howl of pleasure as Aleks grabbed his thighs and spread them wide and began thrusting deep into him over and over. The new position allowing Aleksander deeper access and the ability to control the power and speed of things. The dingo continued to grunt and moan as his tail was used by the stallion that had become his master.

A loud nicker erupted from Aleksander as he thrust harder and faster into the once virgin dingo. Losing grasp of the concept of gentle the stallions power and speed continued to increase as he felt Oasus tail squeezing and gasping at his cock.

"M...Master!" Oasus called out, squeezing his eyes shut tightly. A familiar feelings was growing in his belly, one he was becoming more and more aware of. "I'm Gunna..."

"NOT Yet pup!" Aleks let out a bit of a growl as he thrust harder into that slick, tight tail hole. "You hold it until I tell you to cum."

"What?!" Oasus barked between pants and moans of pleasure. "I can't hold it! I'm SO close!"

The stallion quickly pushed the dingos knees back further, lining up the dingos shaft with his own muzzle. Oasus eyes opened and the dog yipped in surprise, finding himself face to tip with his own red cock.

"Don't spill a single drop pup." Aleksander grinned down at the dingo as he continued to thrust harder and faster, feeling his own climax beginning to near now. Oasus just nodded, dumbfounded by this turn of events, he opened his muzzle wide and let his tongue fall out of his muzzle, panting heavily.

Aleksander continued to fuck the young dingo roughly, the bed making a soft squeeking as the springs were tested. Oasus could no longer hold back as the stallion wrapped his hoof around the base of the canines cock and squeezed under the knot. The dingo let out a soft bark of pleasure and opened his muzzle wide as the first gush of his own seed landed square in his muzzle. Surprisingly he found his own tasted very enjoyable as his muzzle began to fill with his own sticky cum.

Aleksander watched as his new pet eagerly swallowed every drop of the cum spilling from his own cock. Letting out a whiny of passion he then groaned and began slamming into the pups stretched ass as the torrent of horse spunk began to fill the small canine. Oasus eyes shot open as he feel the first massive gush of hot fluid fill his bowels, digging his claws into the sheets he forgot about his task at hand and swallowed his own cum. The canine recieved a final gush of his own seed across his muzzle as he howled in absolute ecstasy, the stallions massive load beginning to fill him to overflowing. The two continued to rut in passion until both finally began to come down from their orgasms.

Aleks panted heavily and set the pups rear quarters back down onto the sheets, which were now soaked from overflowing horse spunk. He wrapped his arms around the pup and embraced him, kissing the dingo deeply and passionately. The two continued the embrace and kiss as the afterglow of their climax wore down.

"You missed a few drops there pup." Aleks said as he broke the kiss.

"Sorry master." Oasus drooped his ears. "What's my punishment?"

"We do it again, until you don't miss a single drop." Aleks grinned and kissed his new lover, knowing this was going to be quite the long evening.

---

Standing on a roof nearby was a hooded figure, two glowing vertical stripes shone brightly in the Umbran night. A white glowing grin showed up under the shadowed hood. The Figure reached up and pressed a button that lit up in one of his bunny ears.

"So, did he take the bait brother?" A female, almost childish voice spoke into his ear.

"Hook line and sinker sis." Cheshire spoke. "This should keep him off my tail for a bit, or at least give me some more time to get ahead of him."

"Good, Will you be coming home this time Zeal?" The girl spoke in his ear.

"Not this time Passion. I have another contract, plus I need to investigate a few other things that the sages request I look into."

"Disappointing, I had been hoping to see you again." The girl sighed with frustration.

"I know, I'm sorry." Zeal heaved a sigh as well. "They make a very cute couple. I don't know how you knew this would work sis but you're quite the matchmaker. I suppose you live up to your name, knowing how to stoke the fires of passion within people."

"Of course I do Zeal." Passion replied. "After all, I can work my magic on you, just as much as other people. Let them be, they will be quite happy together. Get on with your task."

"Sure thing Passion." Zeal smiled. He turned and took one last look at the new couple as they returned to their love making. "Lucky bastards... In for a long night." Turning from the rooftop he leaped into the dark alleyways and vanished into the night.
