Delving Crystal Caverns
#1 of Delving Crystal Caverns
A couple friends hear tale of an exciting treasure in the Crystal Caverns. They set off alone to find the treasure, only to find themselves. Victor is a Panther who never uses magic, but no one knows why. Xaelion is a wolf who specializes in fire magic. What happens in their adventure in the Crystal Caverns?
"Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for us to come here." The thought rapidly repeating in Victor's mind as little fledgling creatures surrounded himself and his partner Xaelion. There were small creatures coming up to their shin. However, their one hundred and eight razor sharp teeth made them quite intimidating. They seemed to be multiplying by the second. Beginning with one, there seemed to be over thirty now, while more crept out of the shadows of the cavern.
Xaelion began to mumble in a low voice. Victor couldn't quite make out the words, but they sounded like a foreign language. Victor had heard Xaelion mumble like this before, back when they were exploring other dungeons. When Xaelion had finished his mumble, a vortex of flame had expanded around him, rapidly increasing in diameter. The flames felt cold to Victor, harmlessly flowing through him, filling him with energy. He glanced at Xaelion who was now illuminated in the brilliant light of the flame. His silken robe was dark blue with a gold trim. It flowed down to his pants that also had a gold trim. His head was usually covered by a cowl, but xaelion had decided he didn't need it for the trip being as the two had fought fabled monster much stronger than was said to live in the Crystal Caverns. Xaelious eyes burned a bright ocean blue with a gold ring on the edge of his puple. His ears stood high as any wolf's would. His fur was a light grey. Xaelion's hands were cupped in front of him, his arms close to his chest in an x. After a few moments the flames died down, leaving nothing but Victor and Xaelion alone in the dark cavern.
"That took care of them easy. Everything okay Vic?"
Xaelion rested his strong paw on Victor's shoulder. That minimal contact alone was enough to make Victor weak at his knees.
"Yeah, I'm all good," he said back with a big grin across his muzzle. Xaelion flicked his hand and a small flame appeared in his palm, emitting enough light to almost fill the whole cavern.
"I wonder when we are gonna find those crystal everyone says is fabled to lie in this cave."
"I don't know, judging by how far we've gone, I'd say we have about another half day of exploring before we lose daylight outside. We'd best hurry if we want to get back before nightfall."
Xaelion's lips scrunched close. "We will probably spend the night here, there are monsters that are way out of our level in the forest surrounding these cavern at night." Victor looked relieved while mortified at the same time. On all of their travel they had never spent the night alone. There were usually two others with them when they delved, but the Crystal Caverns were told to be easy, so they set off alone.
"I... I guess we could," Victor gulped. Xaelion smiled and turned to their path. "Well let's get moving then."
Victor and Xaelion explored the cavern, stopping when they found rare items. Most of the things they found were just ingredients to use in potions, but neither Victor nor Xaelion were very adept in the art of alchemy, so they just threw the items aside and pressed on.
"So Vic, I've been meaning to ask, what kind of magic do you use? We've been traveling together for over a year now and you've never used a single spell in front of me."
"Oh, I use ice magic, but I'm better at just beating things to death. Panther aren't very keen on magic ability. We are more renowned for our strength and stealth."
Xaelion let out a loud laugh before covering his mouth. "Why do you say that? You must be very good at mag..." Xaelion was interrupted mid-sentence by a tendril that charged from a fraction of missing stone in the wall. The tendril wrapped around Xaelion and drug him against the wall, shredding his robes. Victor watched in horror as Xaelion was slowly being crushed. At the sight of his partner gasping for breath, Victor's eyes glowed a brilliant glacial blue. He thrust his paws in front of him. A feint blue began to emit from them. In an instant, the tendril had frozen solid. The ice began to crack and the tendril shattered. Xaelion collapsed to the ground grabbing his chest.
"Xae!" Victor's eyes had returned to normal. Victor rushed to Xaelion's side and wrapped his arms around him. Xaelion's toned body was warm and scratched, but there was no blood. Tears began to stream down Victor's muzzle.
"Vic, I'm okay," Xaelion coughed. "What the hell was that? I thought you said you weren't good at magic. That spell was way advanced."
"I don't know. The only thing I can tell you is every time someone I loved was in danger, I blacked out, a few moments later I come to and everything is okay. Now shut up and let me bandage your wounds."
Xaelion put his paw on Victor's shoulder again, "Everything is fine. I'm not injured." Xaelion stood and brushed the dirt off his body. "Damn, I'm gonna have to find a new set of robes." Victor gazed up at Xaelion, admiring every inch of his gorgeous body. It took every ounce of his being to advert his eyes.
"My biggest question now is, have your eyes always glowed that beautiful glacial blue when you do that?"
"Any time I do magic in general. Most people are scared by it being as its not normal. That's why I don't use magic very often."
"Well they are all stupid. I can't believe anyone would be scared of that beautiful glow." Victor's cheeks began turning hot under his glossy black fur. Xaelion put his paw on Victor's cheek and wiped his eyes. "Stop crying Vic, I'm here, I'm more than alright, and I'm not scared of you in the slightest. There's nothing to worry about." Victor brought a paw up to Xaelion's and held it there.
"Never leave me," Victor whispered in a soft voice, shutting his eyes tight and releasing a few more tears. A single tear drop fell onto the cavern floor. There was a ripple in the ground that seemed to begin to glow a bright white. The murky stone walls and floor melted into crystal. Jetting from the walls, the Crystal were emitting the light that now illuminated the entire cavern. There were no remaining creature left, just Victor and Xaelion. The sight of the Crystal brought Victor and Xaelion to a point of happiness that seemed to be neverending. The glow of the light warmed them to the core, relieving all their pain and stress of the world. The light slightly faded, leaving the cavern a low grey color. Xaelion gazed into Victor's eyes, "That was nothing compared to how beautiful you are." Xaelion kneeled down in front of Victor, cupping his hands around his ears. Victor's heart began to burn as it's beats increased in pace. Xaelion pressed his lips to Victor's. Victor closed his eyes.
Xaelion's tongue was poking at Victor's lips, requesting entry. Victor gave permission by opening his muzzle. Their tongue danced around each other with no signs of remorse. Xaelion finally broke away to catch his breath, unbuttoning Victor's robe as he did. There was a flash of fire as Victor's robes glided off his body.
"Sorry Vic, that tends to happen when I get too excited."
"I don't care if I have to buy more robes. The only thing I want is you." Xaelion stood while Victor unbuttoned his pants, pulling them down to reveal some black briefs. Xaelion's buldge was bigger than Victor had imagined. Victor hooked his paws around the waistband of Xaelion's underwear and slowly pulled them down, leaving nothing to his imagination. Xaelion's sheath was huge, it's length being five inches and his girth being the biggest Victor had ever seen. Victor wrapped his paw around Xaelion's sheath and began to rub it. Xaelion let out a moan of approval. Xaelion's cock had peeked over the edge of his sheath. Pre began to run down his member and on Victor's paw. Xaelion's cock began to slowly grow until it was mostly out of his sheath, pre flowing in streams. Victor began to pump harder, hearing the moans of Xaelion, enticing him to go faster. In a split second, Victor opened his muzzle and had taken Xaelion's cock down to the base. Xaelion gasped and moaned in short breaths as Victor worked his muzzle up and down his member. Xaelion's pre tasted wonderfully in his muzzle. Xaelion began to pump his hips with Victor's motions. Victor finally broke away and took a deep breath before meeting Xaelion's level and pressing his lips against Xaelion's. Xaelion picked Victor up by his thighs and dropped to his knees, falling forward on top of Victor, never breaking the kiss. Xaelion pressed his paw against Victor's stomach, then slowly dropped it to his pant line. He unbuttoned his pants and pulled them down. Victor's sheath was smaller than Xaelion's, but not by much. Victor was already growing hard from the pure pleasure of sucking Xaelion's cock. Xaelion rubbed him cock against Victor's, the friction being almost too much for either of them to handle. Victor kicked his pants off, leaving him totally exposed. Xaelion lifted himself up so he could access Victor's legs, picking them up, revealing Victor's hole. Victor had mentally prepared for what he thought was coming next, only to be surprised by a rough moist feeling penetrating him. Xaelion lapped his tongue on Victor's hole, sticking the tip inside him and pulling it back out stretching his ring wider with each push. Victor moaned loudly, exhibiting his pleasure in the way the wolf was taking care of him. Xaelion once again shoved his tongue inside Victor as far as he could manage, causing Victor to growl in pleasure.
"Wow you're really tight Vic, how long's it been since you had sex?"
"Over a year," Victor heaved.
Xaelion sat up, "Are you ready?"
"I've been ready for this since I met you just over a year ago." Xaelion poked his cock against Victor's ass and pressed. It slipped in rather easily being how good Xaelion was at eating Victor out. Victor still felt the pain, but it was immediately blanketed by the wave of pleasure as Xaelion pressed his cock farther in his ass. Xaelion's cock began to swell more. It felt like it was more than six inches. As Xaelion pushed his cock deeper in his ass, Victor began to feel full. Xaelion howled when he reached the base of his cock where his sheath was, still hiding his knot. Xaelion began to pull back, picking up more speed as he did. When he got back out to the tip, the pushed back in, this time a bit harder than he did before. With every pump, Xaelion got harder and faster. It was all Victor could do to moan and breath as Xaelion fucked him. Xaelion released one of Victor's legs and moved his paw to Victor's cock, stroking it at the same rythum as his hips. Xaelion's cock swelled even more, his know finally pushing out of his sheath. As his pre coated the inner walls of Victor's hole, Xaelion felt the pressure build up inside him. He thrust forward forcefully, stretching Victor's hole wide enough to slip his knot inside. Xaelion pumped back and forth, his knot swelling with each pump. Victor was moaning and panting as hard as he could, not caring about how loud he was since there was no one there. Xaelion pumped harder and stroked Victor's cock faster. Xaelion felt his pressure build up and explode. His cock shooting threads of cum in Victor's hole. The heat of Xaelion's cum filled Victor with energy, he felt his own pressure rise as he was about to reach climax. Threads of cum shot from Victor's cock, spraying his chest and dripping down covering Xaelion's paw. Xaelion collapsed on top of Victor, their sweat combining with the cum to make a watery sticky concoction. Xaelion's knot had began to shrink, just small enough to pop out of Victor's hole. Cum began to flow out and drip on the ground. Xaelion leaned back and kissed Victor on the cheek.
"I'll never leave you alone, just promise me you won't hide anything like that ice magic from me anymore. Kay?" Xaelion winked as he said "kay" which was the cutest thing Victor had ever seen anyone do. His cheeks became hot.
"Never again." Victor threw his arms around Xaelion and I huge hug.
"Hey... Vic, you wouldn't happen to have a way we could was up... would you..." As Xaelion finished his sentence, the ground opened up and swallowed the two. They fell a few feet before splashing into a naumtural hot spring. The water was warm and relaxing. Once they washed up, Victor and Xaelion found their cloths, strangely folded at the edge of the springs. However, their robs were still in tatters and ashes. They dried off using Xaelion's fire magic and proceeded to dress. When they finished, Xaelion saw a small bright light in front of them.
"I wonder what that is," he said, being drawn toward the light. Victor and Xaelion walked toward the light, it getting bigger and bigger. Upon reaching the source of the light, they found themselves at the entrance to the Crystal Caverns.
"I don't remember seeing a hot spring the first time we came through, did you?"
"No, I remember nothing but stone walls."
"Well, whatever. We are outside arena it's daylight, let's go head back." Victor and Xaelion walked back to their home village, that was about twenty miles south of the Caverns. When they reached the village, everything was the same as they had left. Not a thing out of place. The date read the same and the time was twenty minutes after they had left.
"What? We've only been gone twenty minutes?"
"I don't... I don't understand what just happened Xae. Why did practically no time pass?"
"I have no clue Vic, but all I can say is I'm exhausted. Let's go back to my place and rest." Victor had been to Xaelion's home, but had never gone in because he was never invited. Victor and Xaelion set towards Xaelion's home. It wasn't far from the entrance to the village. When they reached his home, the door was unlocked, like Xaelion usually left it. Xaelion pushed the door open and invited Victor inside. The inside was bare, not much furniture. What little furniture was there all matched in color. It was a rustic brown color. There was a single separate room that housed Xaelion's bed. The kitchen and living room were a combination in the main room. Xaelion pointed at the fridge, "Got some water in there if you're thirsty. I don't keep food in there much since most of the time we are out on adventures and it would just spoil anyways, but there's a grocery store just up the road. Door stays unlocked if you want to go get something."
"I'm good. I'm just gonna take a nap on the couch and I'll head back to my place so as to not bother you."
"You're not bothering me, in fact... would you mind sleeping with me? I want to know what it's like to sleep with someone close to me... in my arms." Victor's heart skipped a few beats. Victor wrapped his arms around Xaelion.
"Of course I will. For you." Xaelion leaned back and kissed Victor. They went into Xaelion's bedroom and closed the door. Victor and Xaelion laid down in Xaelion's bed. The mattress was the most comfortable mattress he'd ever laid on. Xaelion wrapped his arms around Victor and pressed his jaw on Victor's head. Victor arched his back and pressed closer to Xaelion. He felt Xaelion's heartbeat slow and the gaps between his breath got longer. In a matter of seconds, Xaelion was asleep. Victor put his paw on Xaelion's and squeezed it. He felt so at peace with himself. A few moments later, he found himself drifting off, the only thing on his mind, Xaelion.
