I don't remember who I was before I came to Lord Raymond's castle. I don't remember how it all started either, one moment I was just a servent girl. An eagle from the north that had been rounded up by the Lord's soldiers after an incident that doesn't really matter now. You see, in these lands and under these rulers. Birds aren't usually wanted around. We are looked down on, swatted away, heckled, told we aren't good enough to share the company of more prominant species. Oh, crocodiles are welcomed inside taverns, as are the raptors who scavange the failed expeditions to the east. But if one has a beak, wings, tail feathers, and the like. Your looked down on utterly. I can't tell you have many times I'd been shooed away just for asking for a place to rest on my travels.

But Lord Raymond was different.

I had been brought before him in chains and shackles with barely any clothing on. Tossed before him and made to kneel by his soldiers. I remember the old horse's expression when he looked down on me. I remember seeing his brown eyes and the pale white fur on his face. I remember how I tried my hardest to look away, ashamed that I had hatched from an egg. Ashamed I had been born a bird.

But instead of a swift exicution as I had assumed would come. He stood and offered me his hand. I remember his words and the expressions of his soldiers.

"I hope my guards were not to rough with you? You look as though you've had a bad day."

His voice had been soft spoken back then, yet when I heard him for the first time I couldn't help looking at the hand that the stallion offered me. I gritted the edges of my beak and I simply replied. "Bad days are what I hope for. This day is a disaster."

He laughed. I don't know why he laughed, but he did.

"Take my hand girl. Let's see if we can get you some clothes from the maid chambers. You look healthy though there's dirt in your feathers."

I thought he had been playing a cruel joke then. People were not supposed to like birds, especially not a lord of many of the world's kingdoms. Believe it or not, once we birds had ruled the entire continent. We had lived through a gilded age of golden palaces and emperors who had sought out new lands to conquer. But it was the outsiders who had arrived to conquer us first. Dragons, in all their scaled glory had rained fire down on our people. They had led massive armies and slaughtered all in their wake. We had become an easy target. Blinded by our wealth and the dragons were all to eager to loot and pillage as they pleased.

Of course, the followers of the dragons eventually realized that they to were tyrents. They betrayed the dragons and sealed them away with an ancient magic that only the most powerful of mages could conjure.

But enough about that. You came to learn of my relationship with Lord Raymond.

So I took his hand and he had my shackles removed. He took me to the maid chambers as promised. Rooms upon rooms of beds where the maids of the castle stayed when they were not busy. A maid by the name is Kella gave me a pair of her clothing. She like me, was an avian as well. Though as I am an eagle, she was a crow. We chatted for a bit and the Lord even gave us some privacy so I could wash up. Kella was kind enough to draw me a bath and she even scrubbed me down.

"They allow birds here?" I remember asking her, in awe of how my fortunes had seemed to change.

"The good Lord respects the past. He takes pity on us and seeks to reform the world's opinions of avians. The Aviana Empire is gone, why should we continue to suffer for it's mistakes?" She answered.

I went quiet after that. There wasn't really anything I could add. After all, she was right. Why should we who had not even known the empire's insanity be punished? No avian alive today had seen what the fools of the past did and I was certain then as I am now that we cannot be lost in our sins. What had the empire done exactly? Necromancy for one. Not to mention all that conquering to form the empire in the first place. As it turns out, people don't like it when you step on their land without permission and start building cities.

After washing up and dawning new clothes, Kella sent me out of the maid chamber to meet with Lord Raymond again. By then I wasn't the ruffled, dirt covered mess I had been when his guards first brought me before him.

He clapped my shoulder when I first emerged and gave a cheerful. "Well now! There is a lovely woman under all that dirt!"

I wanted to feel offended. I wanted to reply back that I wouldn't have been if his soldiers hadn't thrown me into a dungeon for a week for a crime that I didn't even remember commiting. But I held my tongue and simply gave him a nod. I remember staring at the floor a lot those first few days, the floor tiles became something I could lose myself in and count in my head.

But it was his next words that had caught my attention.

"How would you like to work for me?"

I blinked at him, watched as his muzzle shifted into a smile. He was a confident man, I'd certainly give him that. But I was to awestruck at the idea of being offered a job.

"I'm.. sorry?" I answered.

He chuckled once more. "As it happens I lost a maid recently to sickness and so I have an opening. It's not a forfilling job, mostly you'll just be cleaning and helping Kella when she needs it. But I do pay, and you'll be well looked after."

I tilted my head. There had to be a catch? There just had to be... Right?

"What's your name?" He asked me.

"Astrid... Uhh... M'Lord."

"Astrid. That's a lovely name for a lovely eagle. I'll tell you what, take the rest of the day to consider my offer and tomorrow you can give me an answer. Should you decide to leave, I'll have supplies for you and you can be on your way."

The crazy thing about all this, he didn't even ask what crime I had done. I could have been a murderer for all he cared and he was asking me to work for him. The rest of the day I found myself just laying on a bed in the maid chamber staring at the ceiling. How had I gotten into this mess? How was I going to get myself out? Would I really accept a job offer? What if Lord Raymond himself was some serial murderer and I was to be the next victim on his list? I remember as the hours slipped by how I tossed and turned. My every feather ruffled by the idea of serving this man whom by all right should have sentanced me to lose my head. Kella checked on me from time to time, she was a sweet old crow.

By the morning of the next day, I had my answer.

I searched the castle for Lord Raymond and found him in the main hall flanked by some of his soldiers. Most of them were horses, but there were a few others as well. When I approached I tried to make myself small, so the soldiers wouldn't just draw their swords and end me. But when he saw me he broke away and strode up to me.

"Good morning Astrid! You slept well I assume?"

"...I suppose so. Yeah."

He smiled at me. A genuine, kind smile. He took my hand in his and tilted his head at me, I could see how his eyes sparkled with the idea that I might accept the offer he had put forth the day before. I took a breath and steadied myself.

"I thank you for your kindness..." I started.

"I assume Kella has already given you your instructions for the day?" He abruptly put forth.

The damned ass! I hadn't even agreed yet and he already asked me if the crow had given me chores to do around the castle. I huffed and it only drew a small laugh from him. He enjoyed making me stiffle and stutter my words.

"I...I... Uhh... No, no she hasn't. But uhh... I think I'll stay for now." There I said it. The words he wanted to hear.

The stallion grinned and shook my hand. "Very well! I think we'll ease you into things. Gather what you need and meet up with Kella. She'll teach you all you need to know. And thank you Astrid. I am glad to have another bird in the castle."

And that was how things began between me and the Lord. I'd not see him for the rest of that day, once I was back with Kella she gave me a brow and led me around the castle helping her keep the place spotless. I was amazed at how dusty a stone castle could get when there was no one around to put things back in order. But that's just how it was. For the next few weeks I more or less did the same chores over and over. I swept, I scrubbed, I orginized, and I got damn good at it too. I was kind of amazed with myself that I even had such skill to begin with because I had been on my own for so long just trying to survive in a world that didn't want me around. But before I knew it, that part of my life had felt like a different person far removed from what I had now and there was still plenty more to come.

You see, sometimes the Lord would vanish for a few weeks and leave his Knight Captain in charge of things and I often wondered why. So one day I just asked the question.

"Where does Lord Raymond go that had him gone for so many days?" I asked.

The Knight Captain just frowned at me and gave a shake of his head. "His wife is the daughter of another Lord and she refuses to come live here with him. So he goes to her and spends time there."

I hadn't thought that Lord Raymond was a married stallion. But I supposed I should have known better. Still it was interesting to know that he had gone out of his way to appease her when he could. But that was just it, it was appeasement and nothing more. She was some zebra noble that lived in the south of where Lord Raymond's castle was and their marriage had been an arranged one. He had been trying to make it work for years, but the truth was that they didn't love each other in the slightest.

Pfft! Nobles and their arrangements. I could never imagine what it's like to have your destiny planned out by your family long before you are even an egg. My parents hadn't even planned to have me. They got rid of me as soon as my wings were good enough to carry me.

But I remember feeling bad for Lord Raymond. He was a kind man when I spoke to him, he would bring us all gifts after a long day when we had to provide for guests and visitors from other lands. Usually it was cakes or other sweets. Sometimes he would let me into his study and look at the books and ancient tomes he had collected. I had an interest in those old things, though I couldn't read then.

He would sometimes read to me though.

"...And when all was ash and soot. The great dragon Lastivor settled upon the ruined forest of Espar and lifted his great head to the sky and bellowed a roar, laying claim to all the land that was within his sight. Few would challange the mighty dragon until his death at the hands of the mage Telven the Scalehunter!"

I enjoyed those stories that he would tell. It showed me what kind of man he was under all the nobility. He was an imaginive sort. He would often speak about how grand the Great City of Aviana must have been. How at one time, birds were draped in gold and silver from beak to talon. How much he would have loved to see how those ancient avians lived. Then he would get quiet and speak about how unfair it all was, how he had to rule and his younger siblings were off on adventures in far flung places.

"I'm sure your wife wouldn't want you to risk yourself so." I answered one day.

"Bah! That zebra witch can rot! Her and her entire line!" It was the first time I had heard him raise his voice, and at me.

Though the moment he realized it he quickly calmed and settled in his chair. "Sorry Astrid... I should not be so..."

It was then that it had struck me that while he was visiting his wife out of duty. He was still incredibly lonely. I knew well how that felt in those days. As I have said, birds were not well looked upon by others and even less so by suitors. Our beaks are to curved, our talons to sharp, the feathers are to different from fur or scales. I remember how I had been turned down by so many I had found attractive simply for being what I was. Now here was this stallion who was not only kind to me, but willing to give me a place to earn my keep.

I don't know why I said it. I probably shouldn't have. "She doesn't deserve you..."

I grasped my beak shut the moment the words slipped out of it and Lord Raymond gave me an expression that was...How do I put it? There was a mix of sadness and agreement in his eyes. He stood then, abruptly and he took both of my hands in his.

"Astrid... You are a sweet woman. And I know I have asked much of you... But I cannot bare to be in that woman's presence. Please do not speak of her again."

Our eyes met, and for the first time I saw him not as the Lord of the castle I happened to be in. But as a man who was deeply alone and before I could even answer him he leaned forth and I felt his lips brush against my cheek. It was faint, but it was the first time my heart had leapt in my chest. I shivered, and my feathers stood on end. When he noticed this he gave a soft chuckle.

"Your cute when your flustered." He said.

And I couldn't have hidden it even if I wanted to and I certainly wanted to. I looked away from him and for a long moment I didn't say anything in return. He was a handsome horse, but he was a Lord and I was just a lowly bird maid. But then he pulled me into his embrace and hugged me against his chest. I wanted to pull away then, to put up some kind of barrier. But I couldn't, neither of us could.

Instead I leaned into him and closed my eyes, resting my beak softly against his neck. We swayed together softly, just standing quietly in the middle of his study surronded by shelves of books and the fireplace which was always lit with warm flames. When he pulled himself from me I realized then my purpose. It wasn't just to be his maid, it was to make this man who had given me a chance smile. And from then on I would do all I could to do just that.

Weeks turned to months. I had been at Lord Raymond's castle nearly a full year before he called for me. I had been helping Kella when the Knight Captain ushered me to Lord Raymond's chambers. I remember how confused I was and at the same time how much of the castle I had still not explored.

The place was a maze even to just get to Lord Raymond's bed chamber. For some reason the arcitechs had decided that the Lord would sleep in one wing of the castle and the study would be in another. But after the Knight Captain ushered me in I found Lord Raymon sitting at the edge of his bed, a four-posted double that was far to big for any one person to share alone. He sipped from a goblet with a wine bottle resting on the nightstand. Further more, he was dressed in only his smallclothes with his chest fully exposed to me.

I blinked at him, tilting my head as I stood there awkwardly awaiting his words. He smiled at me and lifted a second goblet and offered it to me. I hesitated, I was no fool to think of what a nearly naked Lord, a bottle of wine, and a maid in his bed chambers meant. I don't know if it were out of desperation or maybe I felt just as lonely at that moment. But I slowly closed the distance and accepted the goblet.

"Your beautiful." He spoke softly as I took my first sip of the wine.

I gave him a slight smile and nodded. "I can say the same about you, M'Lord."

"Don't." He answered back.

"Don't?" I asked with a frown.

"Just Raymond here, my dear Astrid."

I nodded and he rested his goblet down before ushering me close with a single finger. I obeyed with a huff and the moment I was close his hands were on me. His lips found my beak, my cheeks, my neck, my shoulders. His hands worked to loosen my maid blouse and he was skilled with undressing. For a man that had been alone he was certainly quick in undoing the fassions that held my clothing safe. I kissed back as best as I could of course, I was dedicated to seeing this out and it was quickly growing into an affair.

The last string of my blouse was undone and he pulled it down to expose my feathered breasts. His lips quickly trailed down my chest, and I shivered in delight at the feeling of his snout against me. I huffed when those wandering lips kissed right down the valley between my tits and his hands slid up to cup them and give them an exploring squeeze. I let my wings unfold from my back then, relaxing as the horse took one nipple into his mouth and kissed and suckled and nipped. It coaxed a series of gasps from me and I couldn't help arching my back in utter delight.

Then his lips switched to my other tit and at that point time no longer had a meaning for me. As his tongue dragged over my breast and circled that nub I felt like the entire world had stopped for just the two of us. When he finally had enough of my breasts he kissed down my navel and pulled my blouse down to my feet, exposing me utterly to his desire.

Lord Raymond's hands glided through the feathers of my thighs and worked up to my butt, grasping my cheeks as I just let my own hands run though his mane in return. He smiled at me then and slowly kissed his way back up my body and held me close.

"Such a woman you are Astrid... I... I want you." He spoke in a hushed tone, as though if he spoke any louder he would spook me.

At this point though he already had me naked so I found his words rather adorable. "...Well I'm right here."

"You are indeed. Now, let this old stallion properly reward you for all that you have done for me since you arrived."

He shifted a bit and began to guide me to the bed, but I paused for a moment as I looked at him. My goal had been to make this man smile and if it took my body to do so then I would dedicate it to him as much as he needed. Fuck... I was smitten with this Lord.

But I looked at him and gave him a slight smirk of my beak. "Let me service you a bit more before you reward me."

"Oh?" He answered back.

But he understood quickly when I lowered myself to my knees in front of him. The stallion gave a low chuckle and I reached for his underwear. As my eyes peered up at his, green avian orbs meeting his equine brown ones. I pulled down his smallclothes and his semi-erect length popped free from it's confines. I wrapped a hand around it, stroking him slowly as I looked at him. The stallion shuddered at my touch and I gave him a moment to enjoy my hand around his cock.

Then I leaned my beak forward and nuzzled it against his shaft, letting my tongue out I glided it along getting my first taste of the Lord Raymond. I licked down to his base, and then slowly back up to his tip. When my tongue rested right at the top I swirled it around and stroked him off a bit faster. The stallion gasped and gave a low groan.

"Astrid..." I heard him utter under his breath.

But I wasn't going to quit until I gave the lonely old horse a night he'd not soon forget. With a huff I peered up at him, then I wrapped my beak around his tip and slowly took him into my maw. As I did so I closed my eyes and felt his hand grasp the feathers on my head for support. I started slow, sucking him off in gently movements of my head so he could get used to the sensation of a beak around his shaft. I ran my tongue over him and gave more swirls.

I heard him moan. It was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard in my life. I opened my eyes just slightly and as I did I felt his grip tighten. Then he bucked his hips forward and I gladlt accepted him into my beak. Lord Raymond let me dictate the pace, but he was not a soft lover. Sure he had come onto me with kisses and wine, but at this point he was glad to just thrust himself down my throat.

I moaned around his shaft in return, welcoming his control over my pace as I heard him utter. "Yes... Yes my dear Astrid..."

As the moments passed I tasted his precum on my tongue and eagerly lapped it up as the stallion bobbed my head on his length. I couldn't speak, but I was loving every moment of it. Then just as I thought he might fuck my beak to his release he abruptly pulled out of my maw and peered down at me.

"I don't want to finish in your beak dear... Get on all fours in that bed before I toss you on it." His words were laced with lust and promise.

He let go of my feathers and I don't think I scrambled onto a bed as fast in my life. I don't remember if I said anything back to him then. I was so turned on by this stallion Lord that every feather on my body stood on end. I did as he commanded and climbed up onto the bed, resting on all fours with my backside facing him. As I gripped the sheets I felt his hands glide over the cheeks of my butt with an appraising grip, then he climbed up to be directly behind me.

"...Wait. Raymond! What if we are caught?" I remember asking him, though I suppose in hindsight his cock had already been in my beak so really the question was rather wasted then.

He smiled at me, I remember looking over my shoulder at him. "Then I will be caught fucking the most beautiful woman in this castle."

If I wasn't clear enough already, this man had undone me. Any safeguards I might have had in place at first had been worn down by both his kindness and the way he looked and admired me.

He lifted one hand off of my backside, then with a vigorous smirk he spanked me firmly. I gave a gasp, huffing as I tried to be tough and resist making a sound. But then he spanked me again and a yelp slipped from me. "Ahh..."

He chuckled and grasped my cheeks in his hands, kneading my backside as a baker would dough. This Lord knew well how to unravel me. I wondered how long he had watched me, how long he had lusted after me. Had it been love at first sight? Or had he fallen for me over time? But in that moment it didn't matter, Lord Raymond had found a woman he could speak to. A woman he could fuck and actually enjoy doing it.

He gave me a third spank, then a forth. Each one earning a yelp from my beak as I gripped the sheets tighter. "F-fuck..." I uttered.

He laughed. "Heh... You make the cutest sounds Astrid... Now let's see what other sounds you make."

I barely had time to register that he had begun to line himself up with my pussy. I was already soaked from sucking him off and his spanks to my ass were only turning me on more so there was little need to prepare me further.

I felt the tip of his shaft against my sex and he gripped my hip and pressed into me with a grunt. I arched and closed one eye as he spread my folds. Inch by inch his cock disappeared into me, claiming my folds. I moaned, long and deep from my chest. My heart raced and as he pressed himself as far as he could go I felt him kiss his way up my spine, between my wings, and to my shoulder blade. His grip on my hip tightened and the stallion pulled back to just his tip and with another satisfied grunt he buried himself back into me.

"Nghh...!" I let slip out.

Lord Raymond smiled and wrapped one arm around my waist as he pulled back again. "Mmm... Your a tight woman..." He spoke. Then thrust his hips forward.

I moaned again as I just gave another arch of my back. Looking back on it, he didn't really give me a lot of time to adjust to his size. I suppose he was more or less certain I could take it. The thing about birds though, our bones are hollow but they are built to be sturdy and flexible. So taking a horse's cock wasn't entirely out of the realm of possibility.

He gave a few more slow thrusts, just to make sure his cock had properly mapped me out. Then he began to set his pace. He rolled his hips and I closed my eyes and surrendered to him as he quickened. Each thrust made me bounce just a bit, and each connection of our bodies made us both moand and shudder in pleasure. His grip tightened and Lord Raymond began to fuck me deep.

"That's it Astrid... Gahh..." I heard him say in pleasure, his hips moving almost automatically now as I just clung to the sheets.

My breasts bounced with the impact of his hips meeting my backside over and over again and I did my best to keep my tail feathers out of the way. He seemed to notice, because he uncurled his arm from around my waist and gripped my tail feathers by the base and used them to press himself harder against me. The echoing sound of the horse taking his eagle maid to poundtown quickly mixed with the sounds of our grunts and moans. The bed shook from his efforts, protesting in creaks as he eagerly fucked me.

It all blurred then, I remember how he felt. Each time those equine hips rolled against me. Each time his cock kissed my cervix. I relished it, loved every moment of it. From time to time, he'd release my hip to give my ass a firm swat earning a yelp from my beak. His thrusts only got faster, harder, rougher. He wasn't a gentle lover and he didn't have to be. I wanted him to fuck me hard, to get out the years of frustration with the zebra witch as he had called his wife.

"Ohh...! Ahh...! Yeah, right there...!" I found myself moaning out, and the sounds I made only spurred him on to take me harder.

Here I was, a bird gracing the bed of a Lord who's soldiers had captured me and I was loving it. Loving how this Lord guided me back against his cock over and over again turning me into a trembling moaning mess. At one point or another he pressed my head down against the sheets and quickened his pace, the bed protested ever louder but I couldn't care less.

"Ahh...! Just a bit more Astrid...!" I heard him call. His hips moving ever more, keeping up with that hard and fast pace. But I could feel it, he throbbed within me, signalling that the pounding couldn't last forever as much as I so badly wanted it to.

I grasped the sheets tight and just threw myself back against his thrusts, wanting him to get as deep as he possibly could. Sure, I'd be sore in the morning but I didn't care. I wanted his stallion to fuck me so well that I'd have to learn to walk proper again. He grinned at that and rewarded me with more spanks, and more kisses upon my back.

"Just... A bit... More...!" I heard him say through labored breaths. But he didn't last much longer then that and I was already clenching around his shaft as my own climax was pushing me toward an orgasmic cliff.

A cliff Lord Raymond was all to happy to throw me from. I gave a series of particularly harsh thrusts and he threw his head back. I arched and gave a screech as I felt him flood me with hot ropes of his equine seed. My own nectar flowed from my own release as I trembled and shook hard against the bedsheets. The horse wrapped his arms tight around me and held me close as he emptied himself within me. All the years of wasting his time trying to make a doomed marriage work came rushing out in that moment.

For that brief wonderful time, I was his. His bird. His maid. And I knew he was mine. There were no titles anymore in that moment. He was just Raymond. A stallion that had longed for something more real, and between us something had certainly grown. We both panted for a long moment, not speaking, not making any noist. Just the sounds of our breath slipping from our nostrils as both of our hearts beat as one. Then reluctantly, Lord Raymond unravaled his arms and pulls out of me. I don't know how I managed not to just collapse right then and there. But I lifted myself back up a bit and Lord Raymond smiled.

He kissed the top of my beak when I shifted on the bed to face him and he gently took me into his embrace. "I love you Astrid." He said.

"I... I love you Raymond." I answered back in the moment.

We stared deep into each other's eyes and he settled us both on our sides in the bed and we just enjoyed each other's company. After a few moments of silence I laid my head against his neck and closed my eyes, content that I had achived my goal of making the stallion happy.

I slept there in his arms that night, and it was the best sleep I had ever had. In the morning I would sneak out and clean myself up. But from then on that's how our relationship was. On the surface Lord Raymond was married to a zebra that he hated. But behind the scenes I warmed his bed when he got lonely. Our sex was always passionate, and always just as rough and I didn't want it any other way.

Was is healthy? Probably not, not for him or me. But he smiled, and that was all I cared about.

• End.
