Within the Furious Cave
This was supposed to just be a quick short, and I honestly kept as simple as can be, but it evolved just a bit haha. I thought it deserved to something just a bit more, with the possibility of continuation and further use of characters and premise, that and the experimental stuff that seems small, came out just fine.
Through the woods the sound of arrows piercing trees rung out along with the crunch of heavy boots and the boom of yelling men. A singular woman with short auburn hair and light brown skin ducked and weaved around trees in an attempt to escape the pursuing men. Sola had come from another region to hone her craft, and to line her pockets with the result. She would have never guessed that a pudgy man lying drunk in the streets would have been a noble, and that he have been so offended at her simply cutting the strings to his coin purse and walking off. Another arrow sunk far too close to her foot and she nearly jumped out of her skin as she felt the air pass by. They couldn't afford to let loose too many of those pretties, or they'd lose her in no time, but the guard realized this too and were hot on her heels, the commands of angered men sounding off just a bit closer. Her lungs burned, but adrenaline allowed her to double her efforts straight into a bush sending her tumbling and reeling, her lightly clothed body feeling the impact of branches and dirt alike. Scrambling to her feet she saw that she was at a dead end. A rocky wall before her marked her death, but she saw that she had a choice. Before her she saw the dark maw of a cave and she knew that she wouldn't be able to shake them off in there, but she had very little choice. Ignoring the pain in her legs she moved into a sprint towards the cave opening, only to hear rustling bushes and the voice of a man loud and shrill, "Halt! Not a single step closer to that accursed place. The flames will handle her." With those words still fresh in her mind she continued on into the cave, wondering if perhaps she should have simply apologized and given the purse back.
Sola's sprint turned into a brisk jog that ended near the wall of the cave, the light from the outside world still spilling within. She wasn't very far inside of the cave and as she turned her head she could see the shapes of the guards watching her from far on. As they began to move away from the mouth of the cave she wondered why they were so fearful of taking a single step inside. Regardless, they would probably wait for her to come screaming into their arms and she'd rather not give them the satisfaction. Instead she picked herself up with a deep breath and made her way deeper inside of the cave.
She expected darkness to soon cover her vision, and for a moment it did, the only sound her hollow footsteps echoing off the cave walls. Just as the darkness took her sight, flickering light poured through in bright shades of orange. For a moment she covered her eyes, her body growing incredibly hot, her mouth opening to gasp as she heard a terrible groaning noise that shook the walls, pebbles falling from the wall and ceiling. Once the noise had finished she uncovered her eyes to see that the light had faded and that upon the walls of the cave there were several torches lighting her way. Gulping down fear and uncertainty she assumed that she had gone mad for just a second, that the heat and confined space had gotten to her head though, she would rather deal with hallucination, than an angry noble with a love of spectacle in the form of execution.
Treading further into the cave she became curious as to who had placed the torches, and as she came across cut stone in the form of steps, her curiosity doubled. Her green eyes glinted with curiosity as she continued up those steps. Sola could have been the first person to step foot in this cave in years, and perhaps this risk would yield some sort of treasure. As she ascended the steps she had to double down on one knee, that horrid noise sounding off again, this time louder and with a force that nearly shook her off of her feet. Eyes wide she considered turning back, but she was already in too deep and her thief’s curiosity urging her to search deeper within, and so she continued on.
The top of the steps led to an antechamber of sorts cut from the rock itself. Pillars in a circle held up the ceiling and at the center was a large obsidian block. As she stepped inside she could faintly make out the scent of burning charcoal. Narrowing her eyes she made her way around the pillars, her eyes focusing in on the large obsidian block. Upon closer inspection she saw a chain coiled around the block and connected to the floor. Each of those chains seemed to smolder just a bit, steam rising from metal that seemed perfectly normal. Standing there she rubbed at the back of her head, wondering what the use of it all was. Just as her curiosity peaked the stone began to shake and again she heard that noise, and again that bright fiery light appeared, this time in a flash near where she stood. With a yelp she leapt back from the heat that spawned, her eyes adjusting to the sudden light to see a terrifying sight. A coal furred hound stood there with fat paws ablaze, its eyes glowing like magma. It howled that terrible noise, but rather than leap at her, it shook its head and snarled like mad clawing at the air before those chains suddenly begin to turn bright red, her eyes noticing a collar upon its neck that seemed to tighten and pull as the chains sunk lower into the ground with violent rattling. It was then that she realized that the furious noise coming from the cave had been the terrible baying of a hurt hound. It yelped and snarled, struggling as the chains finally forced it to calm, those steady orange eyes watching her with something unmistakable within them, sadness and a desire for freedom.
Sola found herself petrified with both fear and interest. The creature's eyes reflected such sadness even though they were bright and fiery, and even though the canine beast was nearly her own size. She couldn't find it in herself to walk away from the creature, to flee the scene, no, instead she felt a strange urge to stay. Her eyes were focused on the beast, her mouth set in a frown as she appraised the chained beast’s eyes, its being. It seemed to have calm down for now, standing at attention, those fiery eyes watching her with that same sadness, its body heaving a bit as it breathed in, exhausted from its thrashing about. Curiosity took hold of her mind as she tested her luck and took a step forward, her body hunched over and ready to dive to the side if the beast was violent. Instead it sat upon its haunches and let out a mournful whining howl that shook both the foundation of the cave, and her heart.
She could care less about her own species, let alone the suffering of some random person, but animals were another story. To her this beast before her garbed in shadow and flame was just another hound, albeit some sort of demon, but a still a hound. She approached on shaking footing, part of her still very frightened of the creatures as she extended a hand. For a moment it growled, its surprisingly cool nose touching at the back of her head, no doubt taking in her scent. As soon as the beast stopped growling she moved her hand to feel through the fur on its head, smiling just a bit as she stroked each of its ears. The supposed demon closed its eyes and again whined this time while leaning its head against her touch. Her heart had been melted, frozen and melted again as she saw this creature act. She couldn't bear to see it like this.
Her hands moved to feel over the collar around its neck. It was a thing made of metal with a heavy hook in the back to latch it in place. Sola bit at her bottom lip as she began trying to work the mechanism, thankful that it wasn't designed to harm humans as she worked at it, "Come on...come on." She repeated quietly as she finally began making headway, pulling the latch apart and yanking the collar open far enough for the creature to pull its head away. Letting out a breath she let the collar fall to the floor, just as the beast leapt on to her with a happy yelp. She gasped as panic and fear took over her again, only for her mouth to open to let out a laugh, the beast's tongue assaulting her cheek in happy kisses. Hellish creature or not, it was indeed just a precious hound.
Sola laughed there for a moment before her hands moved to push at the heavy beast, trying her best to dissuade it from any more kissing, but the beast would not stop, in fact it began to bite and tug at her vest and tunic and with a quick motion it tore them away. She yelped and tried to cover herself, but the beast's warm tongue dragged across each of her breast causing her to shiver, "What? No dog! What are you doing?!"
The beast rumbled with approval as it continued to lick at her breast, her entire body growing hotter and hotter as she heard a voice within her mind, "I'm only thanking you for releasing me...and satisfying my own desires, but fret not. I'm your beast to command now..." The voice then cackled, "Just let me enjoy myself."
Sola's cheeks paled, her eyes wide. She had truly just released a demon into the world, but her fluttering mind began to work out the details, the advantages of letting the beast have his way and then using it to her advantage. A thief with a mystical hound at her side, what a powerful tool, a powerful asset, and perhaps whatever desires the demon wished to fulfill, would be interesting. Taking a breath she moved to give the hound's head a soft tap, "Well, at the very least I hope you'll be replacing my clothes. Come on, lie on your side and I can actually make this better for you."
The hound looked to her, amusement shining in his eyes as he backed away from her, the fabric around her breast suddenly moving and snapping into place to cover her where it had once been broken. She gasped and felt over the fabric before sitting up on her elbows to look at the beast that now lie lazily on his side, head up and ears pointed towards her. This would definitely be worth the effort.
Patiently, she began to shrug out of her clothing. Even though her eyes were closed, she could feel the demon's eyes upon her, predatory and mystical heat touching her skin as she exposed herself. Her body was lean, trained and strong, hips curved with strong legs to support them. She had never invested much time in her arms, but she could pull most bowstrings without much trouble. Sola had never been in a situation to court a demon, but during her teenage years she did indulge in some curiosities with various hounds, and it shouldn't have been too different. With her eyes open she could see that the beast was waiting patiently for her still, but the hunger never faded from his gaze. As she stepped over to him she made note of the thick red cock already free of its sheath, certainly thicker than anything she'd seen before, and it only excited her. Kneeling down, her fingers moving to feel through his fur, surprised at how soft it was, smiling just a bit as she heard an impatient huff come from the hounds maw. Silently she gripped onto the canine's cock, gripping the hot member as she leaned down to flick the tongue over the tip. Her tongue caught the taste of salt and earth, her nose taking in that scent of charcoal from when she had first entered the room. Not even a few licks and strokes in and already she could taste thick pre dripping down from the hound's tip, a small smile forming as she opened her mouth wide to take more and more of that beautiful thing inside. Her tongue pushed against the shaft, trailing low as she bobbed her head back and forth upon the demon's cock. For only a moment her hand moved to grab the beast's fuzzy pouch before suddenly it thrust to her mouth, bulbous knot kissing at her lips as her mouth was flooded by thick cum. Her eyes shot up in surprise, her lips glued to that cock as she worked to drink down every single drop of thick seed. Pulling her mouth away she sputtered and coughed just a bit, taking a gulping breath before speaking, "Quick shot huh?"
The demon's voice replied flatly, "It has been awhile." She only chuckled, but as her eyes trailed back to the hound's cock she saw that it was still hard, still twitching and ready for more. It certainly hadn't been lying. Rolling on to her hands and knees she brought her hips up, the hound not wasting time waiting for her words before hopping up onto her back, arms wrapping around her waist, its claws scratching against her skin causing her to shiver. The demon hound was heavy upon her back and for a moment she felt real fear shake her. The beast's cock was something large, something monstrous, but what if perhaps it would try to possess her? She wasn't a mage, she couldn't handle herself against such a force. She only had the demon's word that it would serve her, but then again she thought of the application of a magical familiar of sorts to a thief and silenced the fear.
Sola's thoughts were also pushed aside by the feeling of a thick cock sliding against her pussy. Next to her head she could hear the hound panting, his hips moving to thrust that thing in her, but failing to hit the mark as it slapped and slid against her pussy and crotch. Every single thrust jolted her, weakened her just a bit as she felt more of that powerful beast's weight upon her and when finally that cock entered her, she nearly collapsed. Gasping out she felt thick meat pierce her insides and stretch them out wide. Her gasping, her near collapsing, however, did not register or even slow down the canine mounting her. He thrust and pounded to her, his cock digging in deeper and deeper with every push, his entire presence bringing a heat to her body that she had never experienced. Whether it was some sort of psychic attack or just his being, it made her groan, it caused her body to shiver, her pussy to tighten and grow wetter at the sensations being wrought upon it. She groaned and pushed back despite the bits of pain interlaced with the pleasure, yelping as she felt fangs upon the skin of her shoulder. He had bitten her like some sort of bitch to be taken, his entire body shaking as he snarled breeding her properly. Never had she felt such an intense amount of desire or lust, her own body shaking and struggling not to collapse underneath and all she could do was hold herself up as best she could, taking every single lust ridden thrust to her pussy.
Soon enough she felt the knot gracing her entrance, every thrust bringing it closer and closer to pushing inside of her, but the hound's wild thrusting kept the knot outside of her for now. Eventually she could feel his entire body shaking, his cock quivering and swelling as it pressed firmly inside of her. Those thrusts became wilder, his cock pounding her harder and finally with a pop that thick bulbous knot entered her pussy, tying them together for good. A shot of pain ran up her spine laced with electric pleasure causing her to groan out and fumble just a bit, her arms shaking as she held herself up. The beast panted to her ear, hot breath sending shivers along her skin. With one last push the beast began to stuff her full of his seed, his cum, and if he weren't a different species she might have been concerned about getting pregnant. That heated substance seemed to burn at her insides in the most pleasurable ways, doing nothing to sooth the heat of her own body and in fact amplifying it tenfold. She cried out and her insides clenched, quivering as she felt her own climax rising on high from the abuse she had taken. Finally she allowed herself to collapse the beast holding her by the hips, his tongue flicking out against her ear. Sola wondered if the demon truly intended to let her command him.
Night was falling and the two guards stationed at the cave yawned aloud. Their employer was a fat bastard with far too much money and influence. He had ordered them to wait outside the cave at a safe distance just in case the girl had been waiting to leave. Nothing had happened all day and they didn't want to be there, but suddenly they stood at attention, spears at the ready as their target stepped out of the cave with a stupid grin upon her face. They stepped forward and opened their mouths to yell something, but froze, mouth agape when they saw the beast treading by her. A hound perhaps almost as large as the girl padded alongside the girl, deep orange eyes flashing and glowing, lips pulled back to reveal fangs. It let out a deafening bark that shook the trees around them and the very earth itself churned and rose to knock them clean on their asses. The first guard to recover got up quick and yelled madness while running away while the other simply passed out, eyes rolling back before he simply laid there.
Sola laughed, her voice ringing out high before she winced and hissed, "Oh...still sore. Well, all right friend. Are you really intent on following me...you could go your own way?"
The demon hound sat upon his haunches, head tilting as he thought of it for a moment, "I think not. I have been gone for quite some time. I do not know my purpose, or even my name. I am essentially just a beast...command me as you will, besides." He grinned doggishly, fangs gleaming in the moonlight, "It will be fun to raise chaos with a common thief."
Sola chuckled her hand resting upon his head, "All right, but you'll need to be less...obvious, and we'll need to give you a name, like...Pyre."
Pyre raised a brow as if to protest, but he shook his head and stretched, claws digging into earth before he suddenly shrunk to the size of a normal hound, fire and brimstone fading off of his body in favor of regular black fur, "Very well, lead the way. M'lady."
