Even watched in fear as the raptor slowly strode towards him, its powerful muscles flexing underneath its scales as it edged ever closer. The moonlight that shone through the mouth of the cave glinted beautifully off its razor-sharp teeth as it smiled its impossibly unnerving grin and forced Even's back against the wall. He felt his throat go dry and a yell catch in his throat as he slowly slid down the wall and sat at its base, eyes closed as he prepared for his end._How did I get into this mess,_he thought forlornly as the raptor stepped even closer again, the distance between them now less than a meter.

=== Earlier ===

"Ah, come on," a young man muttered beneath his breath as he fumbled with a thick, braided rope, "Gotta tie this boat up or I'll never get home." Looping the rope numerous times over itself and around the nearby wooden pier beam, the man gave one last strong pull as the knot tightened and secured both itself and the attached boat to the old, mold-covered pier. Surveying the job to ensure the knot had been properly tightened, the young man, Even Feht, nodded successfully to himself for a job well done before turning on his heel and picking up a small, brown backpack. Wasting little time, he slung the backpack over his shoulders and tightened the straps a little before catching his reflection in the odd stillness of the pier's water. Looking into the almost eerie calmness, Even gazed over himself and smiled lightly.

He was 25 years old, had tidy, short, blond hair that hid beneath a wide-brimmed, black cap, soothing aquamarine eyes, pale skin, was quite skinny - not an inch of fat or muscle on him - and stood at a fairly reasonable 6 feet tall. He let his gaze linger over his patternless, black, long-sleeved t-shirt, new, dark blue jeans and simple white joggers with black socks a while longer before blushing at his narcissism and turning to face the end of the pier; away from the small, rental yacht that stood at the other end.

Even saw the dense jungle stretching out before him as the path from the pier twisted through the dense trees like a maze that writhed and shifted back upon itself. The overhead leaves of the monstrously tall trees seemed to block out most sunlight but let just enough in to let someone see a few meters in front of them before the light was again snatched away by darkness. Excitement pulsed through Even's body as he realized that after a solid month of planning he was finally standing on the island, ready to begin his search. I'm finally here, he thought gleefully, Finally on Noasdiur Island. I wonder if the rumors are true?

Stopping himself and clearing his throat, he recalled what he'd read on the internet and did his best to review each detail logically. The island was said to be a very remote island that resided far out out in the Pacific Ocean and was supposed to be home to many long extinct dinosaurs. They were supposedly created by a mad scientist and his group of 'mad friends' who thought they could make a fortune by showing dinosaurs to the world. Even also recalled that something apparently went wrong and the dinosaurs broke loose before killing everyone on the island and claiming it as their home.

As he thought through each 'fact' he couldn't help but laugh at how silly it all sounded once you summarized it like that. "Dinosaurs on an island," he said to himself in between laughs as though he couldn't believe he'd actually fallen for such an obvious internet prank, "I mean come on, that sounds like the plot to some dinosaur movie." Looking back between the ominous jungle entrance and the small yacht moored near the pier, Even shrugged nonchalantly before returning to face the jungle entrance. If I've some this far I might as well see why the internet picked this particular island for its 'ghost story', he thought logically before re-securing his backpack and starting into the dense darkness.

Standing inside, Even noticed that it seemed to be much lighter under the canopy than he had first thought and he was able to see a considerable distance in front of him. Must have been a trick of the light, he thought before continuing further in and listening happily to the gentle chirps of the local birds and the occasional rustling noise from the bushes that lined either side of the path. He continued to follow the old, dirt path as it snaked its way around towering trees and deep gullies until he finally came to a fork in the road.

Looking around, he found what appeared to have once been a signpost that had long ago been smashed off at the ground; a jagged snap of the wood showing whoever did it had done it in a rush. Stopping at the fork and pulling his phone from his bag, he watched the screen light up and the the time appear on screen indicating that it was only midday. Placing his phone back in his bag, he looked again at the two paths and, upon seeing that they had no discernible differences, slowly started down the left branch. If he'd come this far on his nature walk, he was sure he could find his way back.

The wildness of the jungle transfixed Even as he felt himself drawn further onwards down the pathway to marvel at the peacefulness and tranquility of the nature walk. I didn't really think I have any fun here, he thought cheerfully, _And even though I was stupid enough to fall for that internet joke - a dinosaur island, how stupid - I must admit, this was both fun and relaxing._Turning yet another blind corner, Even spied the defined end of the path that had been meticulously cut through the jungle; a perfectly straight line of bushes at the far end marking the path's end.

Humming happily as he realized he must have made it to the end of this particular nature walk, Even turned on his heel and took one last moment to draw in the nature around him. Happy that he had completed his first nature walk, indeed any outside activity was uncommon for him, he realized how dark it was starting to get and prepared to head back. Giving one last nod to the end of the path as though thanking it for leading the way, Even suddenly stopped dead in his tracks as he heard a shout of anger echo from the other side of the bushes and send a terrified shiver down his spine.

Worried but ever curious at who or what could have caused such a loud shout, Even crouched low and gingerly made his way into the bushes at the end of the path. Even moved painfully slowly as he tried - and mostly succeeded - to muffle the noise of both his footfalls and the snapping of branches. Hearing the shouts increase in volume with each step he took, he crouched lower again and crawled through the bushes with an odd fear in his heart. As he passed another giant tree, he found himself able to finally make out some of the words that were still being yelled in anger.

"Useless", "kill", "money" along with many curses pierced the air as Even felt the fear in his heart grow even more as he tried to think about what kind of person would be saying such things. Trying to push his fears aside, he assured himself that everything would be okay and it was probably just some people having a fight, but even with this assumption his curiosity spurred him ever onwards. Pushing through another bush in front of him, he found that these bushes backed on to a small clearing that contained a large man screaming at something at his feet.

Edging closer as though he expected the man to turn around and catch him at any time, Even began to inspect him as though he could identify the man - or at least having something to describe to the police if things went wrong. The man had long, messy, sweat-matted, brown hair, very tanned skin that looked like he'd almost gotten a sunburn and bulging muscles that would put some body-builders to shame not to mention that he was at least seven and a half feet tall. Even also noticed that he wore a short-sleeved, khaki shirt and matching khaki shorts as well as thick, black, mountain shoes and had a powerful, black rifle leaning against his hip.

Wait, a rifle, Even thought in terror to himself, _And he's screaming something about killing and death!? Oh god, what have I done!?_He watched in fear as the man pointed the gun at the ground in front of him and pulled the trigger. Even flinched and shut his eyes as he waited for the blast but heard nothing. Looking back, his ears perked up as he heard the man curse some more before saying, "You lucky bastard, I'm out of ammo! But don't worry I'll be back with some more, so don't go anywhere!"

He watched as the hulking man gave whatever was at his feet a brutal kick before cursing some more and making his way quickly out the left-hand side of the clearing. Once he was sure the man was out of sight, Even slowly looked back at the brownish thing in front of where the man had been standing and squinted as he tried to take in more details about it. Unable to truly discern what it was due to his crouching angle in the bushes, he edged closer still and raised his head above the bush he'd been hiding in before gasping in surprise.

Standing up a little straighter and rubbing his eyes as though he was sure they were lying to him, he looked at that spot again and felt an odd sense of fear and excitement fill him. Th-That's a raptor, he thought excitedly as he struggled to stop himself from making any noise, _But that's not possible! Raptors aren't alive anymore, is this a dream?_Calming himself, Even pinched himself painfully on the arm let out a quiet grunt of pain as he saw the figure in front of him shift and raise its head to face him.

Instantly Even froze, if this wasn't a dream of some sort of cruel joke then surely the raptor would tear him apart; They are carnivores after all, he thought. Seeing it look tiredly at him and hiss pathetically in a weak attempt to scare him away, he felt his heart sink and fill with not fear, but sadness. He stepped from the bushes completely into the clearing and watched as the raptor simply lowered its head back into the dusty ground as though it had given up when Even noticed the heavy, painful-looking ropes binding its legs and neck.

"This isn't right," Even muttered to himself as the shock of what he was seeing started to set in, "I think this poor thing is real. It's real, and it isn't even attempting to fight back. This isn't right, I have to do something." Searching through his right, jean pocket and finding a small pocket knife, Even flicked it open and slowly advanced towards the creatures as it again hissed and wriggled slowly in front of him. His heart filled with dread and despair as he saw just how tired the raptor truly was; unable to even attempt to snap at him. He knew the man - the hunter, he guessed - would be back soon and Even knew he wasn't going to be able to talk any sense into him.

Taking off his bag and dropping it beside the bushes, Even slowly approached the terrified, exhausted creature and mumbled promises of trying to help it as it simply buried itself deeper in the soft earth. Bringing the knife in close to the creature, he watched it visibly flinch as the blunt side of the cold metal accidentally rubbed against its legs. "Sorry, sorry," he muttered as he continued to slide the knife under one of the ropes that bound its legs, "I promise I'm just trying to help." He heard it groan in what he guessed was it saying that he was lying as he started sawing through the rope with the sharp knife; _If I'm right, then cutting this should loosen the whole bind. Then just one more,_he thought hopefully.

Pulling the rope taut as he sawed through the final strand of the sturdy rope, he allowed himself a small moment to be silently pleased with himself before he checked over his shoulder for the other man. He sighed thankfully as he found nothing but bushes and dwindling sunlight before he set to work on what he hoped would be the final rope he needed to cut. The second rope part appeared much less sturdy and the knife sawed through it with relative ease, but as he got closer to finishing the cut he began to get more nervous and he felt numerous questions buzz in his head. What would the raptor do when he freed it? What would the hunter do? Would he get away from both the raptor and hunter in time?

"When you get out," he stammered slowly to the raptor as he continued to cut through the final threads, "Please don't hurt me." He knew it was a silly thing to be saying - _as if it understands me,_he thought - but he held onto the thought that maybe it might hesitate long enough for him to escape as the knife cut through the final piece of the rope. He watched as the long coils of rope went limp all at once and saw the raptor easily roll away from him before standing itself up in one motion.

Even held the knife in front of him as though it would even remotely threaten such a powerful, muscular creature as he started to back up. He waited and slowly paced backwards as he expected it to charge him but instead saw it looking curiously and almost thankfully at him as both stood across the clearing eying each other off. An eerie silence crossed through the clearing as the raptor stayed in its defensive stance and continued to survey him, a thought that made Even feel very uneasy as he himself risked glances around to look for an escape route.

His heart thumped loudly in his ears as he watched the creature and prepared to make his escape when he saw it stagger backwards and change from a curious, defensive stance to a more aggressive, powerful stance and hiss intimidatingly at him. "Wait no," he exclaimed in fear as his logically mind all but abandoned him, "I don't want to hurt you! Just please don't hurt me!" Even backed up rapidly in an attempt to keep his eyes on the raptor until he felt his back press up against something solid and sweaty. He suddenly felt very trapped as the raptor continued to hiss at him while a booming voice echoed angrily behind him, "It's not him you have to worry about."

Even's eyes went wide and he turned to look over his shoulder when he saw the man's brown eyes and sickly-yellow, toothy grin before a large fist came into view and charged towards his face. Unable to react, he felt the enormous fist collide painfully with his face before stars danced in front of his eyes followed by a brown blur charging towards the hunter, a pained curse escaping from the hunter and then darkness.

All voices, all pain, everything faded until only darkness remained.

=== Later ===

Groans and grunts of fatigue echoed from Even's mouth as he sat up from the cold, hard surface he'd been laying on and squinted his eyes around the darkness that almost entirely darkened his vision. "What happened," he muttered groggily to himself, "I remember a hunter and a raptor and then... Was that all a dream?" He sat up straighter on the cold, slab he'd awoken from and shook his head as a dull, throbbing pain quickly washed over him before disappearing just as quickly as it arrived.

"Must have been a dream," he mumbled quietly to himself as he tried to reason what must have truly happened, "I just fell out of bed and hit my head I guess. That explains the pain, but... This doesn't look like my apartment. Where am I?" Moving his legs slowly over the side of the hard 'bed' and finding the floor a lot closer than he remembered, he staggered slightly before righting himself and squinting at the darkness. A small, door-like shape appeared on the far side of the wall and Even reached his hand out towards it as he cautiously made his way across the room.

Reaching the shape after only a brief moment, he squinted again and realized that it was a lot bigger than most of the doors he remembered and completely lacked any kind of actual door. Feeling extremely confused and worried, he quashed his fears and forced himself though the hole as his mind tried but constantly failed to recall exactly what happened; the thoughts of raptors and hunters dismissed as mere dreams. Finally running his hand along the wall, he felt the odd smoothness and dampness of it as a smell of moss and fresh water filled his nose.

"Well I know I'm not at home anymore, not unless the apartment's flooded," he joked to himself in an attempt to clam his nerves, "So just where am I?" Feeling the wall stretch away from him as he saw a shimmering, silver light ahead of him, he rushed recklessly towards it and felt himself becoming more hopeful at the thought of escaping this ensnaring darkness. At least then I'll be able to see something, he thought hopefully,Maybe then I can work out how to get out of... wherever I am.

Slowing down as he reached the entrance of a large cavern that was bathed in the blissful light, Even took a brief glance around and two holes on opposite sides of the cavern. One appeared to lead back into a darker, but still well-lit, room while the other appeared to be the mouth of a cave that lead outside into a jungle and let the shimmering moonlight in. Even smiled happily as he realized he'd at least found his way outside, he started making his way to the light like a moth drawn to a flame when he saw something shift in the darkness from the corner of his eye.

Even stopped in his tracks and spun around to face it as he squinted against the light in an attempt to make out whatever was hiding in the darkness. A cold chill ran down his spine that told him to run, but his own curiosity again got the best of him as he stepped away from it and stood tall to try an intimidate whoever or whatever was there before he asked, "Who's there? Come out!" He squinted again and stared into the darkness as he saw the form slowly rise up to stand with the top of what he guessed was its head just below his shoulder height and something long jutting out behind it.

Taking a worried step back as the shadow slowly sauntered towards him, he watched as it stopped just before the moonlight and let out what sounded like a fatigued hiss. A confused and concerned look crossed his face as the form appeared to shake itself before finally stepping into the moonlight. Even's eyes went wide and he stammered as he looked at the powerful, sleek form of the raptor standing in the moonlight that flooded through the mouth of the cave.

His body froze and his mind ran circles around itself as he tried to will himself to turn and run or crouch and hide in a hope that maybe it hadn't seen him. A growling hiss from the raptor brought his senses temporarily back to him as he saw it look right at him and slowly start walking towards him as his heart rate increased and he quickly backed up. He looked around desperately for some sort of exit and realized that the only true exit - the exit to the cave and the world beyond - was behind the raptor.

Even watched in fear as the raptor slowly strode towards him, its powerful muscles flexing underneath its scales as it edged ever closer. The moonlight that shone through the mouth of the cave glinted beautifully off its razor-sharp teeth as it smiled its impossibly unnerving grin and forced Even's back against the wall. He felt his throat go dry and a yell catch in his throat as he slowly slid down the wall and sat at its base, eyes closed as he prepared for his end._How did I get into this mess,_he thought forlornly as the raptor stepped even closer again, the distance between them now less than a meter.

Desperation raced through his mind as he placed his right hand out in a tiny hope that he could shoo it away or scare it off with his thin fingers. He felt his arm freeze and every muscle in his body refuse to listen to him as he felt the raptor's warm breath wash over his palm and his heartbeat echo so loudly in his ears that it drowned out all other sounds. He prepared himself for the feeling of intense pain, of having himself eaten alive, when he felt something smooth push against his palm.

His muscles tensed and he winced in the expectation of pain when he realized that the feeling in his palm was not one of pain, but rather one that seemed more soothing. Forcing his muscles to obey him, he gingerly turned his head back to the direction of the raptor and cautiously opened his eyes when he saw something that made him gasp loudly. Staring at it in confusion, he watched as the raptor again nuzzled calmly against his palm with its eyes gently closed and what looked like a blissful smile on its face.

Even gradually felt the fear from before change into confusion as it continued to nuzzle its nose soothingly against his palm while cooing peacefully; his heart having calmed enough to allow him to hear it for the first time. A small smile crept onto his face as his mind tried to make logical sense of what exactly was happening allowing him to give an experimental stroke with his middle finger over the top of its head. He listened intently and stared in amazement as the cooing intensified before the raptor opened its eyes and stared peacefully back at him.

Staring back into the raptor's green-brown eyes he felt himself instantly calm completely down as even his mind stopped and realized that his eyes held no malice or hate. As he stared in further to the oddly soothing eyes, he began to realize that rather than anger they seemed to hold only care, concern and what looked like confusion. Looking away with a mild blush as the raptor cooed playfully, he watched as it stood back up straight and back away slightly.

A sudden hollowness enveloped him as he already missed the feeling of the raptor's smooth scales and surprising warmth against his palm. Looking back up at it as it gazed curiously at him he began to truly notice just how beautiful and amazing it was. It seemed like what he'd seen on several movies and pictures: about 5 feet tall, about 12 to 14 feet from head to tail, brownish-blackish patterns on its back with a lighter, yellowy-white underbelly and 'feathers' scattered atop its head; the only thing he recognized that made this raptor a male. He also noticed the red 'ridge' near its eyes while the eyes themselves appeared to surrounded by blueish scales that led to a white stripe that started just behind the blue and continued down near its tail.

It was only when he checked closer to the legs and neck that he saw what looked like nasty rope-burns that had almost made their way through the sleek yet durable scales. Examining the damaged scales closer he realized that the wounds didn't appear to be too bad, but he was almost certain that they would scar. It was only when he looked at them again that he finally realized why this particular raptor and the wounds seemed so familiar; this had been the raptor that he'd freed from the hunter's trap.

Looking back up at the raptor, who cocked its head to the side in confusion, he blushed as he realized that he was thoroughly examining it and quickly attempted to hide his embarrassment by asking, "You're not going to hurt me, are you?" Instantly he mentally face-palmed for openly asking such a silly question given everything that happened and was about to physically facepalm for asking a raptor a question that he didn't think it understood when he saw it shake its head.

Even froze in confusion as the raptor finished shaking its head before looking back at him in confusion as though it was concerned it had done something wrong. Before he could stop himself, Even felt himself blurt out loudly, "Wait, can you understand me?" He watched closely as the raptor shot him an even more confused look before nodding gently and thrumming lightly in confirmation. Stammering as the raptor finished nodding and looked back at him with what looked like a small smirk of pride, Even looked back to the ground in thought.

"He understands me," he muttered quietly to himself in a mix absolute confusion and bewilderment, "But that's not possible is it? I mean an animal that understands humans, that's insane." Taking a deep breath and seeing the raptor still quietly looking at him he added, "But I suppose, a raptor in modern times, that's insane too. But there doesn't appear to be any denying it, he understand me perfectly. In that case, I wonder..."

"Um, you understand me right," he asked with restrained excitement that received a gentle nod of confirmation before he continued, "In that case, if I may ask, where am I?" He looked back the raptor and saw it cock its head a little as though it was thinking of how best to answer before it started thrumming and trilling quickly in response. Unable to understand even the slightest bit of what it said, he sat still looking extremely confused before he heard the raptor stop itself mid-thrum and look around.

He watched closely as the raptor slowly walked over to a what looked like large, stick and leaf bed before motioning to it, to the large cavern and then back to himself. Almost instantly Even brightened up like he'd just cracked the mystery of a lifetime and said, "This is your home isn't it!" Chirps and trills of excitement filled the air as the raptor nodded quickly as though both happy it got the message across and congratulating him on getting it so quickly.

Rubbing the back of his neck a little in embarrassment as the raptor slowly walked back over, he hummed a little in curiosity before saying, "Okay, well if I'm in your home I figure I should at least introduce myself. I'm Even, Even Ferht." He saw the raptor nod in understanding and he muttered to himself how difficult the next question was going to be as he tried to think of a better way to ask it. Unable to think of anything he resigned to simply asking, "In that case, can I ask what your name is?"

Even cringed a little as the question finally made its way into the air and he instantly felt like an idiot for asking something that would not only be difficult to answer, but also have no answer; he had no idea if raptors or indeed any animal really had a name other than ones humans gave them. A gentle coo drew his attention from his thoughts and back to the raptor as it somewhat haphazardly scribbled in the softer earth near the middle of the cavern with its longest, powerful claw.

Leaning over and looking closely at the squiggly writing, he waited until the raptor finished before he attempted to decipher the writings. To his surprise the writing was actually legible, still very squiggly and difficult to read but legible, and as he sat forward from his seated position he began to make out some of the letters. "O, R, P," he read aloud as he took care to get the letters right, "A, I, no T sorry, and R. So O-R-P-A-T-R. Orpatr, is that right?" Looking up carefully in case he got the letters wrong, he saw the raptor almost bursting with glee and thrumming happily as he again said aloud its name: Orpatr.

"Orpatr, huh," he said trying to get his tongue used to the pronunciation, "I've never heard that name before. Very different." He watched as it cooed at him in what he guessed was its way to say that his name was weird too before he apologized and tried to remember exactly what happened. Finding the same black spot in his memory after his run-in with the hunter, he saw the raptor calm down and look at him in concern. "It's alright," he reassured it noting that for some reason he felt so at home with it, like they'd been friends forever, "I just can't work out how I got here. I know I'm dirty though, dirt all over my back."

Stopping as he realized he'd almost overlooked such a crucial detail, he looked at the mouth of the cave and saw a trail of dirt connecting it to the dark doorway that lead to where he'd awoken. Running possibilities through his head, Even finally asked, "Orpatr, I know this is a weird question, but... did you drag me here after the hunter knocked me out?" He watched intently as Orpatr nodded happily, cooed proudly and puff out his chest slightly at the effort.

A light laugh escaped Even lips as he saw how strong, yet funny he looked and placed his head in his hands as he tried to fathom how powerful Orpatr must have been to carry him into here. The more he thought about it, the more unreal it seemed. Here he was on an island filled with impossible creatures talking with an impossible raptor as though they were friends while it impossibly understood everything he said. _This is all a little to, well, impossible,_he thought bluntly.

Feeling a light nudging against his arm and hearing a coo of worry, he looked up from his hands and again saw concern evident in the raptor's eyes. Smiling and raising his hands to stroke lovingly over its smooth head scales and the delicate feathers, he listened to it murr happily and felt any worry, any concern, just melt away and disappear from his heart. He couldn't explain why, but everything just felt so right, he felt like he could trust him with his life. Despite having never met before, he trusted him more than anyone else he'd ever known, and it just felt right.

Pulling back and watching as Orpatr stepped back with a pleased smile on his face, he looked on and knew what he wanted to ask. He not only saved my life, but he also dragged me out of danger and shared his home with me, he thought happily, _I wonder if I can repay him._Looking at him and regaining his composure while Orpatr looked back at him and trilled happily, Even said, "You've helped me quite a bit, so I was wondering if I... might be able to help you in return."

There was a silence for only a slight moment before he saw Orpatr nod happily and chirp cheerfully at the offer before stepping a little closer and nuzzling affectionately against his chest. Smiling and feeling even more cheerful than he did before, he quickly started thinking of what he could do to help before asking, "Would you like me to gather some food for you?" He watched in mild surprise as Orpatr shook his head before Even quickly added, "Well, what about water? Or maybe some better bedding?"

Another two shakes of his companion's head left Even feeling slightly disappointed as he tried and failed to come up with what else he may be able to do for him. Realizing it may just be better to ask and try to figure out the answer, Even looked back up into Orpatr's caring, excited eyes and asked, "In that case, what could I help you with?" Instantly a playful series of trills echoed from the larger reptile as Even tried his best to interpret what his new friend was attempting to tell him.

Seeing the raptor in front of him suddenly stop itself and fall silent as though it knew he still couldn't understand him, Even watched as it cocked its head to the side for a moment before trilling again - this time much calmer - to regain his full attention. Watching closely, he saw the raptor back up slightly as its tail and lower body that had once been shrouded in shadows was bathed in resplendent moonlight to reveal every scale and every detail of its toned form. Even felt his mouth go dry when he gazed over the raptor's muscular flank and found his eyes suddenly locked on to the semi-erect shaft that hung proudly between its owner's powerful legs.

Even felt his mind go blank and his stare linger over the still growing member as it hardened further and a small drop of clear pre-cum gathered at its tip. Both fear, curiosity and excitement mixed together to form an indescribable emotion that flooded his mind and stripped him of all logical processes as he continued to gaze at it. Although his mind refused to make any rational thoughts about what exactly was happening, he felt his eyes slowly drift over the shaft from tip to base and drink in the details of the proud spire.

The first thing he noticed was the length, the impressive length that spanned at least half the length of his forearm and looked almost a quarter as thick as his arm around the middle with its hefty girth only building to an impossible width at the base that would put any human man to shame. On the other side of the ribbed middle it began to taper slowly to a blunt tip that angled up slightly with the natural curve of the raptor's stomach and back. The whole shaft started with a fiery red tip and ended with a pink base; as though the colour had slowly cascaded down from the tip and over the numerous, evenly spaced ridged that lined the shaft's sides and bottom just as pre-cum now did.

It was only at this point that he began to notice a faint aroma in the air, something spicy and slightly bitter with a strange, salty after-smell that only made him want to smell it more. Forcing his gaze to the raptor's own proud, gleeful and lustful gaze, he stammered slightly before whispering out, "So... is this, um, is this what you wanted help with?" A lusty, almost growl-like thrum confirmed his suspicions as Even quickly averted his gaze to the ground and felt his mind reengage only to be bombarded with more questions.

What should I do, he thought not in fear or confusion, but in an odd sense of rationality - something that always seemed to happen when he was put under pressure, On one hand, I did only just meet him, and I don't really know too much about him. Not to mention that he's an animal and to do something like that is both highly illegal and immoral. But... On the other hand, he did both rescue me and keep me safe until I woke up. I guess I should pay him back.

Looking up and seeing Orpatr still standing in the moonlight with his his maleness proudly on display and the same spicy-bitter smell drifting through the air, Even made his decision, If he's done this much for me, than this is the least I can do for him. Staring back into his companion's intelligent, lustful eyes, he tried to gather his courage to voice his decision, something he found much harder than he anticipated as his dry throat forced the words back down into his chest. Calming himself, he tried again and heard himself quickly blurt out, "I guess its only fair if I help you after you helped me!"

Another awkward silence fell on the cool, night air and Even felt his heart skip a beat as he saw Orpatr shake his head slowly and begin to approach him. A stabbing pain shot through his heart as he drew his arms in close to himself at the rejection from the powerful creature and he began to wonder if he had interpreted the gesture wrong and only succeeded in making a fool of himself. Beginning to shudder in sadness at how big a fool he felt for suggesting something he knew was beyond preposterous, he suddenly felt a gentle nudge at his lower left arm.

Ignoring the feeling, he suddenly felt it become more insistent and move further up his arm as a saddened trill echoed in the cavern. Feeling the smooth scales against his cheek as he tried to hold back tears, he felt Orpatr nudge his cheek a little more forcefully to face him. Looking through bleary eyes at him, Even watched as the raptor slowly moved in before parting its scaled lips slightly and gently kissing him on his own, smaller and more delicate lips.

Even gasped in surprise and stared back at him with mild confusion and hope as he felt the larger male's tongue slowly snaking from his massive jaws and lick comfortingly over his own subtle lips. Breathing slowly and feeling the dread from before transform into hope, he leaned gingerly into the make-shift kiss and cautiously ran his own tongue against his companion's. Feeling it retreat momentarily before returning and playfully swatting his almost insignificantly smaller tongue away, he breathed a gentle sigh of relief as they slowly broke apart.

Both hope and confusion filled Even's mind as he stared back at the stronger male and saw love and concern burning fiercely in his eyes. "What," he muttered quietly as he tried to grasp what had caused the sudden change of heart, "I don't understand." A soothing thrum escaped Orpatr's mouth as Even saw him nuzzle affectionately against his chest and then tilt his head back to himself and rub against his own chest.

For a moment, nothing registered in his mind as the raptor slowly repeated its gentle gestures; nuzzling affectionately at his heart before motioning to his own. "You," he muttered slowly as though trying to choose the right words and hoping against hope that this answer was right, "You love me?" He watched fearfully for a moment until he saw his companion nod slowly and coo soothingly. "But then why..." he started before catching himself as he realized exactly what had caused such a confusing response, "When I said I'd help you. You didn't want this to be just a one-night-stand, did you?"

He watched as Orpatr nodded slowly and cooed sadly before Even leaned forward and quickly planted a kiss on the tip of his companion's nose and whispered calmly, "I'm so sorry. I didn't even think about what I said. I... I really do love you, I swear." A more pleased coo drifted through the still air as the raptor raised his head and placed another more powerful kiss on Even's lips that forced him back to his original sitting position; his back pressed against the sturdy wall and his eyes closed in passion.

Again Even felt his tongue become assaulted the much more powerful tongue of his raptor companion as it blissfully and playfully pushed his own tongue aside before snaking its way between his teeth and into his receptive mouth. The tongue gently explored every corner of his comparatively smaller mouth and glided over his tongue and teeth with reckless abandon as Orpatr kissed him deeply and passionately. After a minute of blissful toying and gentle tongue-battling, Even felt the rough texture of the tongue quickly retreat from his mouth and back into its owner's with a wet slurp.

Moaning cutely as he felt an odd emptiness wash over him, Even felt his companion squirm slightly and free himself from his grip before shuffling about noisily. Opening his eyes to inspect what had happened, he blushed heavily and gasped loudly as his eyes refocused and he found himself staring directly at his companion's stiff, slick spire that sat barely an inch in front of his mouth. Looking up at Orpatr, who now stood over him, and seeing the lust and restraint that mixed with raw love and passion in his eyes, Even smiled nervously and said, "I'm glad to see how much you love me. Why don't I show you how much I love you?"

Turning back to the shaft and inhaling sharply as the potent musk assailed his nostrils and toyed with his mind, Even gingerly coaxed his tongue out before giving an experimental lick across the pre-cum stained tip. A light moan passed his lips as he felt the liquid quickly spread over his tongue and draw a gentle growl from his lover above him. The taste was almost indescribable, a strange chilli-like, spicy flavor that finished with a salty-sweet aftertaste that made him crave more even as the liquid continued to wash over his delicate tongue.

Tilting his head back and swallowing the viscous fluid, he greedily eyed the shaft and felt his tongue snake out to lap again over the sensitive tip. Another bead of pre dribbled from the tip and Even shuddered a little as more of the salty fluid and potent musk overwhelmed his senses. He felt himself giving in completely to his libido, his actions become slower and more deliberate as he tried to work out how to best please his mate. Deciding to return to the tip to collect more of the delightful juices, he gently lowered his lips in a lusty, teasing kiss when he felt his mate buck his hips lightly and push the first inch of his slick shaft into his warm maw.

Even froze as he felt the hefty shaft push into his mouth and listened intently to the lewd, gleeful growls and hisses above him as his mate reveled in the new feeling. Carefully widening his jaws and being wary of his teeth, he felt his mate hiss louder and push another inch of thick, raptor meat into his waiting mouth. He moaned blissfully and tried to concentrate on his breathing and the feeling of lewd bliss as his mate slowly eased in more and more of the shaft as though trying to test his limits.

Feeling his mate stop as the head of the enormous shaft pushed gently against the back of his throat and caused his to gag, Even risked a brief look up and saw Orpatr looking back at him with love and care in his eyes. Smiling internally and closing his eyes in bliss as he felt an odd sense of need overcome him - the need to pleasure his mate as best he could - he slowly flexed his tongue along the underside of the shaft. Another growling hiss of pleasure reverberated through the room as he felt the shaft begin to slowly withdraw from his mouth; leaving a thick trail of slick pre-cum.

A moan of bliss echoed in Even's chest and sent tingling vibrations up the swollen shaft as he felt the shaft stop retreating and slowly push back in. Even smiled around the shaft as more pre-cum squirted from the tip and lubricated both his mouth and throat before squeezing his eyes shut and forcing himself to relax as the head again teased at the back of his throat. He held his breath and felt his heart skip a beat as the tip gingerly tested his throat before suddenly sliding halfway down his rippling gullet in one rapid movement.

Trying his best to control his gag reflex, Even heard his lover hiss louder than ever before as the shaft delved deep into his gullet when he felt something warmer and rougher than the shaft brush against his nose. His eyes shot open in surprise as he realized his lips were pressing lightly against his mate's own cloaca lips and he swallowed hard, eliciting a pleased growl from Orpatr, as he felt the tip of the shaft spew rich pre-cum directly into his waiting stomach.

Both reveled in the incredibly intimate and pleasurable position for a brief moment before Even felt the shaft beginning to slide back up his throat and into his mouth. Exhaling sharply and taking in a fresh lungful of air, he felt his mate quickly reverse direction and shove the spire back down his throat in one swift movement. A loud moan of surprise escaped from Even and a pleasurable hiss from Orpatr as Even felt his throat being suddenly wrapped around the shaft like a crude, but willing, cock-sleeve.

Even groaned in bliss as he felt the shaft retreat just as quickly as it had entered and took another sharp breath as he felt the spire splatter more pre-cum against the roof of his mouth before delving back in. Eyes closed as he felt another blissfully powerful thrust, he moaned loudly as the spire forced its way down his gullet and pulsed more ropes of pre into his stomach before tearing back out with a lustful need. He listened lovingly to his mate's constant hisses and growls of bliss as his lover pumped the member back and forth into his wet orifice like it was a needy female's vent.

Wet slaps and hisses of pleasure filled the night air as Even felt his mate begin to breed his mouth harder and faster, his thrusts growing more erratic and desperate to achieve his goal to seed his mate and claim his as his own. The thrusts forced extra pre from his mouth and caused it to dribble over his chin as Even tried to swallow the constant stream of pre-cum and keep his breathing in order when he felt his mate thrust harder than ever into his mouth. Feeling his nose trapped against his lover's slit and hearing a loud screeching pierce the air, Even braced himself as he felt the first of many waves of sticky, fertile and very potent semen shoot directly into his stomach to mix with the rest of the raptor's juices.

Even felt the shaft pulse repeatedly as his raptor lover emptied his pent up balls inside him and forced sticky, white goodness from his shaft and into his stomach. The rod continued to pulse heavily as the seemingly never-ending torrent of seed continued and Even felt his lungs beginning to burn and his need for breath grow. Feeling his mate start to pull out as he shot another rope of stringy, sticky cum against the back of his throat, he inhaled deeply and moaned in surprise as yet another rope of seed shot from the tip and dribbled across his tongue.

A sudden, overwhelming taste of potent seed filled Even's mouth and caused him gasp loudly as the cum-covered shaft escaped completely from his mouth and bobbed in front of him before delivering one last, impressive squirt of fresh, fertile seed. The seed spewed from the tip and splattered magnificently against his nose, lips and chin and painted them all a lovely pearly-white as the torrent finally died down. He half gasped and half moaned as the semen marked him as a true mate before he quickly closed his mouth and turned his attention back to the potent semen in his mouth.

The taste was magnificent, like a salty-spicy soup that had the faintest hint of sweetness that stopped the bitterness from becoming too overwhelming and a sticky thickness that seemed to cling to whatever it touched. Rolling it over his tongue and trying desperately to stop himself from swallowing the rest of the delicious delicacy right away, he felt the flavor only grow with every second until he finally couldn't resist any longer. Tilting his head back and swallowing, he felt the warm solution dribble down his throat and shuddered powerfully as he almost wished he could taste more of it as it joined with the rest of deposited load.

Opening his eyes slowly and blinking a few times to clear his vision, he blushed as he saw Orpatr standing in front of him with his still hard, cum-soaked shaft glistening in the silvery moonlight and a lewd, dominant smile on his face. Remembering the semen that still stuck to his lips and chin, he slowly lifted his arm and moved his hand in to wipe himself clean when he felt his mate's head gently nudge away his hand. Looking at him with mild confusion, he saw Orpatr shoot him a lusty, loving smile and coo playfully as he realized exactly what the lewd raptor was getting at.

"Looks good on me does it," Even asked in his most teasingly lusty voice and blushed hard as he saw Orpatr give him an innocent grin and coo lustfully. Smiling at the response and realizing just how submissive he'd become, though he truly didn't mind it at all, he blushed even deeper and looked away slightly when he heard his mate thrum lightly to get his attention. Snapping back to face him and seeing the love and care in his eyes, he watched intently as his lover tilted his head towards the back room before slowly sauntering into it with a suggestive sway of his hips.

Feeling a need to follow his companion, Even rose from his sitting position and slowly walked across the room before stopping at the entrance to the dimly-lit back cavern. Peering in curiously and finding no trace of his lover, he carefully started to pace across the room and to the far corner when he felt something powerful nudge his legs and send him stumbling over. A surprised gasp escaped his lips as he felt himself fall forwards and landing softly on a natural rock 'shelf' that jutted out from the wall at shin height as he steadied himself on his hands and knees.

Trying to stand himself back up so he could find what or who had nudged him, he suddenly became aware of a heavy weight pressing carefully on his back; just enough pressure to stop him getting up without actually causing any true harm. A sudden ripping sound rang in Even's ears and he quickly turned his head to face the source of the noise when he saw a large piece of jean fabric and what looked like fabric from his underwear float slowly to the ground to rest beside a large raptor foot. Following the foot up, he stopped when he saw a stiff, cum-slicked shaft resting gently at the top of his backside.

He stared at it a while longer before letting his eyes drift up quickly to meet his lover's gaze; his heart aflutter with what was about to happen. Breathing slowly and looking deep into his eyes, Even saw the restraint, affection, care and concern for him in his mate's eyes as the raptor stood over him and waited for his judgment. Instantly any worry or fear was erased from his mind and replaced with love and need as he whispered calmly, "I've never done this before, but I want you to be my first. Just please be gentle."

Seeing his mate nod slowly and coo soothingly as the weight above him shifted, Even turned his head back to the rock 'shelf' and prepared himself as he felt the hot, slick rod tease experimentally at his virgin entrance. Relaxing his muscles and breathing out slowly, he felt the tip of the shaft finally cease its teasing and push slowly into his. Feeling his mate stop as he moaned out in not pain but bliss, he gently whispered for him to continue as another inch of thick raptor meat slid inside him; the seed that still coated the shaft making entry much easier than either had anticipated.

Even grunted loudly and felt his muscles involuntarily contract around the shaft as a small bolt of pain shot up his spine. Hearing a worried trill above him and feeling the spire slowly retreat from his entrance, Even quickly reached his arm up as best he could and stroked soothingly over the scaled leg beside him in an effort to soothe the large male. "Its, ah, its alright," he said calmly as he felt the spire stop retreating and Orpatr nuzzle carefully over his back, "You didn't hurt me, I'm alright. I just need a bit of time to adjust. Besides, it feels too good to stop now."

Another trill of worry echoed from his mate as he continued to stroke along its scaled leg before he felt the male's heart slow back down and ease his shaft back inside his warm orifice. Grunting quietly and feeling the pain quickly become overtaken by pleasure, Even moaned loudly as he felt himself becoming blissfully full. Risking a look back behind himself at how much of the shaft was still left to go, he felt his eyes go wide as he saw that there was still at least half of it outside his warm, slick ass and he exclaimed excitedly, "Oh god, you're so big!"

Hearing a proud trill and feeling him force another two inches of hot, raptor spire inside him, Even laid his head back against the shelf and moaned as more was slowly fed into him. Clawing against the rock and begging cutely for more as he felt his virgin ass stretch wide over the shaft, he felt himself becoming impossibly full and began to wonder if he would even be able to take the whole rod when he suddenly felt sleek, smooth scales press against his filled hole. Gasping in amazement and groaning long and hard in bliss as he heard his mate hiss along with him, he reveled in the unique fullness that easily overpowered the tiny sparks of residual pain at being stretched so wide.

"Oh god, this is so good," Even exclaimed cutely as he felt the incredible pressure inside him and heard his mate growl lustfully at him and nuzzle his back. Smiling and gasping for air he tried to hold off his orgasm that had somehow managed to stay out his mind for most of their fun, Even groaned in need as he suddenly felt the shaft pulling back from his ass. He moaned cutely as he felt the ribbed spire tear its way pleasurably back out until only the tip rested inside and spewed forth more slippery pre-cum.

Feeling the spire quickly force its way back into him, pre-cum constantly trickling from the tip, he gave out a loud gasp of surprise as his lover's hips suddenly pressed back against his ass. He reveled in fullness for barely a moment when he felt his mate pull out to the tip and then harshly shove back in with an incredible speed that rocked his entire body. Again he felt the tip spew forth more pre-seed into him before it was pulled almost completely out and shoved back in again with a much faster, much harder thrust.

Wet slaps echoed in the cavern as Even felt his mate gradually increase from his original, experimental speed to something that felt more like he was breeding him like a lusty female. He heard his mate hiss even louder each time his thick shaft forced its way into him and heard his own moans change from cute and innocent to lusty and needy as both practically screamed and hissed in bliss. The shaft spewed forth a seemingly unlimited supply of slick pre-cum to lubricate his already soaked tunnel when Even felt his lover finally stop increasing his speed, having already reached a full breeding pace, and start carefully angling his rod to drive against his sensitive walls.

Even gasped and squealed in bliss as the tip prodded and stabbed against his walls and sent shocks of liquid lightening down his spine and through his body as he felt himself getting shoved ever closer to his imminent end. He didn't want this bliss to finish as the shaft again slammed into him and jabbed against his prostate, but he knew he wouldn't be able to last much longer with the pulsing shaft sending wave after wave of pleasure through him. Looking back up at his mate and seeing him with his eyes closed and tongue lolling outside his mouth, he groaned loudly as he felt the thrusts begin to slow and become more deliberate; each driving his libido through the roof.

Feeling the rough pounding at his loosened ass and the gentle fabric against his throbbing erection, Even muttered quietly before screaming loudly in bliss and tensing up as he felt the most intense orgasm in his life wash over him. He felt warm seed shoot up his shaft and soak his underwear as his anal muscles tightened like a vice and trapped the pulsing raptor shaft deep inside him when he heard a primal screech of ecstasy. Using what little willpower he had left, Even focused as he felt his muscles rippling over the spire that had lodged itself entirely inside him in an eager attempt to milk the thick, fertile semen from his mate's internal balls.

Even barely registered the second, weaker screech from his mate before he felt the first rope of warm raptor seed coat the inside of his ass. Moaning constantly, he felt more and more cum empty into him as the pressure in his ass slowly grew to almost unbearable levels and a lewd warmth spread through his entire body. Feeling his high begin to fade even as his mate continued to paint his insides a pearly white, he gasped when he felt his mate slowly begin to retract his shaft and coat the rest of his tunnel in his rich seed.

Breathing deeply as the pressure gradually reduced, he moaned cutely as he felt the head pop out of his stretched tunnel with a wet 'slurp' and splash a final weak dribble of raptor cum onto the outside of his ass. He knew that Orpatr had to marking him as his own, he knew that this was he way of marking them as mates and he only felt the love in his heart grow even further. Turning around and dropping to the ground as all strength left him, he smiled weakly at Orpatr and gently placed a kiss on his nose as he saw the raptor slowly squat down beside him; his slick shaft already retreating back into its protective cloaca.

Feeling his mate nudge his side lovingly and coo tiredly, he said, "Yeah, that was... amazing. _You_were amazing." Another soft coo of delight made him smile as saw Orpatr yawn loudly, his jaws opening wide, before nuzzling his head into his lap and cooing again quietly before quickly falling asleep. Watching his chest gently rise and fall and hearing his lover's cute snoring, Even felt his own eyelids becoming heavy.

Snuggling in close to the powerful male, he gently stroked along its stomach before feeling his fatigue completely overtake him and drag him into the world of sleep; his dreams filled with thoughts of what they would do tomorrow.
