Winter Wolves Pt 2
#139 of Exploration
Seriphine looked at the fireplace where the dragon had just been.
"Your friend can fly, and can stand the heat of fire."
"That is true. Draco is one of our, more special members."I replied,"he is what we call a dragon, and has an interesting armament. He's also sexually rapacious, which is why I warned you against attacking him."
The wolven female rolled her eyes, and settled back down, clearly enjoying the warmth of the fire. "So what would you ask of the native?" she enquired.
Time dancer began asking the traditional questions. Seriphine's race lived in small towns of no more than five hundred, and they had huge amounts of territory, the five clans all wanting to keep their distance from one another. Their technology was mostly simple, metal working had not been discovered, but stone working and wood working had. I noticed that the wolf was shedding fur, tufts of it would be detached by her stroking, and when she wasn't looking I pocketed some and put it in a plastic strip lock bag.
I'm sorry, it's the magpie tendency. The wolves were always suspicious of strangers, and all the other tribes had a code of agreement, there was a road from each of the towns, and if a wolf needed to visit another tribe, they could only use the road, other wise they were trespassing on a tribe's land. It was a very sensible way of dealing with territory, and I said so. Seriphine said they had been doing it for years.
As for the ladder of power, there was a head wolf, that was Seriphine, she was the epitome of a practical leader, ran with the hunt, worked with everyone, and most importantly, led her tribe. then there was a cluster of ten wolves, the alpha wolves, who were the strongest and most intelligent. And before I asked, the feminist did.
"Which is more represented, male or female?"
"Female of course." Seriphine replied, and I could see Time Dancer smile knowingly," the males don't fight as fiercely as we do, you must know that."
"Oh, I do." Time replied, and I rolled my eyes.
"What is it with you two?" I asked, lying back down," Honestly, you'd think males aren't necessary in the world."
"The male population are, helpful, but it takes a woman to lead a pack. Men don't have the ability to control."
I turned to Time Dancer."Who's this fellow who runs our organization? Silverine, isn't it?"
Time Dancer pulled a face."It doesn't work with all races, Seriphine. The males run the show in my job."
"So overthrow the ones who do." Seriphine replied simply.
"They insist on being physical. Silverine can bench press me when he's in the mood, and he loves fighting."
"Right. Typical male dominated society." Seriphine yawned.
"I have to admit you are right there."I sighed," Our race believes firmly men are better at more things than women. I hate stereotypes."
"We'll make a feminist out of you yet, boy." Time Dancer laughed.
"Not while there is a star in the sky." I retaliated. "You are enough for the both of us."
Seriphine made a sighing noise."I hate to admit it, Time Dancer, but this male isn't actually too bad at what he does. He fights, he's curious, absolutely irritating, he does it deliberately, and he's intelligent. Is he single?"
"No, but on Central we don't draw many lines on that. Rest assured that if I wanted pleasuring, there would be several males, Draco and Alduin included, who would be happy to lend, themselves, to the task."
"You lead a pleasant life, it seems. Men line up to give you what you want."
"Only if they get it in return. They always leave a catch." Time Dancer replied.
"Look, am I actually here in your mind?" I asked plaintively,"If either of you want to have fun, fine by me, but I did not come here to be snided at."
"This one doesn't count." Time Dancer motioned at me, and that shot went home. Seriphine rose rapidly as I sprung from my casual position straight at Time Dancer, who laughed and went down under my weight.
The were wolf grabbed at me, as I got myself on top of Time Dancer, and I twisted around pulling both Seriphine's legs from under 'neath her. She landed with her legs crossing Time Dancer's, and me holding her down.
"Seriphine, I think we might have to concede something to him." the canine said.
"He certainly knows how to fight. Do they have lessons?" Seriphine said, while I licked two fingers.
"Draco wrestles Alduin all the time for sexual dominance. What's worse is that Alduin sometimes wins, he's become so skilled, don't you dare!" I pressed my two lubricated fingers against the canine's vagina, teasing her.
Seriphine sat up to the point where she could see what Time Dancer was complaining about, and I gave her a smile.
"This particular male doesn't always ask for return favours." Seriphine gave me a look of bemusement.
"O.K., so you aren't the worst male in the world. You have to admit there are some pretty shocking ones."
"Yes, but you have to admit there are some pretty shocking females. I tend to think it all balances out." I smiled widely, and the wolf thought on this, and gave a grudging nod.
Time Dancer stopped struggling, and lay back."Another problem, he's always so calm and rational when you don't want him to be. His arguments actually make sense."
"Are you deliberately trying to make him toy with you?" Seriphine looked amused, and the thought occurred to me.
"Now I am. I wasn't before, but having him on me, he does actually treat females with a bit more give then take."
I lowered my head, and as I worked the entrance of Time's pussy, I gently licked Seriphine's. She sat bolt upright.
"Hey, what do you think you're trying to do?"
"I'm giving you both a bit of enjoyment. I think both of you need to relax."
"Don't think you can get around me by pleasuring me." Time said.
"I haven't managed it so far, I'm not trying to now." I winked at Seriphine, and she actually smiled.
"Oh, very well, if you want to." she lay back.
"So do the males of your clan do this with you?" I gently licked her intimates again, and she sighed.
"The males around here do not, experiment, and they certainly, unnnh, haven't tried this." she shivered as I carefully licked. I probed both fingers into Time Dancer, and the canine trembled underneath me.
Silverine interlinked with me.
"Alduin, how...what the hell are you doing now?" It sounded like a sigh. Time dancer chuckled, she had been linked too, and she activated a speaker so Seriphine could hear the Lupogriff as well.
"I'm just showing these two ladies why some males are a bit more than traditionalists."
"Ah, this Seriphine is like Time Dancer, is she? Delighted to hear it. Have you got the required data?"
"We have."Time Dancer replied, as I gently licked Seriphine's vagina again.
"Would you object to me joining in?" the Lupogriff asked.
"Yes." both Seriphine and Time Dancer replied, and the canine added," Alduin is quite sufficient for the both of us."
"Alduin's more than sufficient for a lot of people, including me." Silverine chuckled.
"Well, if you promise not to fuck either of us, and only him, I suppose you can join in."
I placed a scanner, and Silverine arrived after ten seconds.
"Promises are made to be broken."I said quite firmly, and Silverine laughed.
"I didn't make any promise there, Alduin. You let me get here before I had to make one."
Seriphine looked at the huge Lupogriff. "His race are, different."
"Only in looks, I think you'll find." Time Dancer replied.
"Silverine, can you take Time Dancer?" I asked, and Silverine got down onto his knees, and pulled Time Dancer from underneath me.
Then the Lupogriff began doing what I had been doing, fingering her, and as Time Dancer sat up, he began gently licking her breasts, playing with them with his teeth. Time Dancer moaned in pleasure, while I returned to Seriphine. I pushed my tongue into her vagina, and began licking deeply, sensuously caressing every fold of skin I could reach. With one hand I began stroking her breasts, and she sighed and placed one paw on top of that hand, holding it in place. The other she used to press me harder against her.
She was a were wolf with a lot of strength, and I found myself unable to move away or try other things. My hand was pressed firmly against her left breast, so I continued pinching and playing with her nipples, and I was kind of forced into her. She moaned, looking upwards in delight.
"Oooh, yes! she cried, echoing Time Dancer's cries as Silverine worked the canine, and she finally orgasmed with a howl.
She let go of me, and I sat back, just in case she was angry at me for having done what I just did, and she looked at me in a very calculating manner, and then surveying Time Dancer's look of bliss as she neared her own climax, Silverine still playing with her.
"I will concede you males have been taught well on how to please a female, that is something." she said, and I rolled my eyes to myself. What does it take?
At this point, I was interrupted by a call from Central, and found it was Blake who wanted to talk with me.
"Hey Alduin, you know how you do that scary aircraft thing whenever we have a new fellow to introduce to Central?"
"Yes, what about it?"
"Well, Flair Magena just arrived, he's being showed around the store very shortly."
"Who is this Flair Magena?"
"Flair is, well, hard to give him one particular species. You'll see when you get here."
I asked Silverine politely to continue talking with the two feminists, which he didn't mind, and I teleported back to Central. I drove down the corridor towards the food store as the Audi, and spoke with Gareth.
"Gareth, is this Flair gentleman in the food store?"
"Yes, he's just walked in, why?"
"O.K, thanks." I signed off, and changed into my bionic form as I came into the final corridor, running silently in my flax skirt and T-shirt. I got to the door, counted three, and then dropped a smoke grenade, kicking open the door and changing into the Raptor form.
With the timing accuracy of a shuttle launch, I hovered out of the smoke straight in front of Blake, Tahir, and this new creature that was Flair Magena. He was both beautiful and a little weird at first sight, he was a delicate blend of wolf, dragon and a couple of other species, but I was accustomed to odd looking creatures. He was shielding his eyes as he looked at me, and his clothes were swept back from the core wind of my engines.
I hovered at about six yards from him, and then my metallic voice spoke over the noise of the engines, I was still distorting it so I sounded like one of the Daleks, this voice was sufficiently creepy.
"State your name, creature."
"I, who are..."
"State your name, creature." I interrupted his stuttering question, and he gulped.
"My name is.. Flair Magena."
"State your purpose here." I ordered, and noticed one or two of the explorers smiling. Flair, like the freshman, looked somewhat confused.
"I was told I could be an explorer, sir."
"How do you feel?" I said, in the same voice.
Now this question has history. It was given to Spock in Star Trek, and the emotionless Vulcan could not understand the question at the time. Like Spock, Flair had no idea why I had asked it, or what relevance it had on the current situation. He paused and flushed.
"I'm... scared? Is that the right answer?" I laughed, dropping the voice and morphing into my bionic form. He stared in disbelief as I clapped him warmly on the shoulder.
"Sounds about right to me. Nice to meet you."
"You, how, are, can you change into any other form?" the hybrid finally got a question to hand.
"No, I am not a metamorph, I was granted/ forced into some special abilities with limited transformation. Has he been for his abm?"
That was a no answer, and Gareth led the recovering hybrid towards Arachno's office. Flair managed a weak smile before he left, he had worked out it was joke.
I sat down next to Delnom, who shook his head at me.
"You naughty human, you scared him witless." he chided, and I smiled.
"I did, I did. As I recall I also scared you witless. On the other hand, we have a fellow called Silverine, who likes challenging newcomers, so which do you prefer facing?"
Delnom shoved me playfully, and I just giggled.
It was up to Blake Hybridmarine to explain the how's and whys of Flair, he had been found during exploration of a new planet, and Blake's team agreed he seemed a fairly safe bet as an explorer. I watched and listened to this as an old hand, and then I saw Alecto walk in shiftily.
He was carrying a long parcel in his arms, gift wrapped, and I turned immediately to Delnom, shuffling my chair back slightly.
"So Delnom, how goes your exploring?"
The wolf looked at me. "It's interesting, we got a week off today, my party." I looked at him casually, glancing at Alecto as he advanced towards me and Delnom's table. I noticed the level of conversation was dipping slightly, everyone knew something was happening, and people wanted to find out what it was.
"Really, you felt you needed holidays already?" I ribbed, and Delnom smiled patiently.
"Apparently it was rostered by them we don't talk about."
"They are called glowers, nothing wrong with the name." I replied, as the fox got directly behind the wolf.
"They are scary, glower as a name does not do them justice."
"Hello dearest." Alecto said quietly, and I saw him take a bit of breath, he was a bit shy of saying this. Delnom turned and looked up at the fox's face.
"Alecto, pull up a seat...is there something wrong?" the wolf noticed the expression.
"Nothings wrong, but it's your birthday today." the fox replied."So I thought I should get you a present."
"A present...a gift? On my birthday? Inspired idea." the fox pulled out the long thin parcel from behind his back, and handed it to the wolf.
Delnom smiled, and began undoing the sellotape with his claws, gently unwrapping the packaging paper from whatever was inside. He was smiling widely, and then we all saw what the gift was.
If there was ONE person in the store who didn't know the thoughts Alecto had for Delnom until then, they knew exactly what Alecto thought the moment we saw the gift. It was a beautiful two metre staff, made of silver and electrum, and the head of the staff was a 3d shaped diamond, with more silver around the four sides of the diamond.
A small message was engraved in centralite down the length of the staff, and I engaged my optical translator. "A diamond for a diamond of a lover, from Alecto to Delnom with love."
Delnom was shocked and delighted at the gift, Alecto was blushing, and everyone else really didn't know what to say. A lot of crafts work had gone into the formation of this staff, and diamond, while not exactly rare on Central still held explorers in awe for it's shiny allure and toughness. This was the kind of present level I would give Ryan if I asked him to marry me, and you could sense it in the air that the fox wanted to say it.
Delnom got out of his seat, putting his weight on it briefly, and then bear hugged his boyfriend, holding the staff in one hand. They kissed passionately, and the fox was crying tears of joy. There was no need for talking aloud, they had communicated their thoughts by their actions, and it was official, the two of them were engaged. Spontaneous applause broke out from one corner, and because Centralites enjoy nothing more than a good party, it was echoed louder and louder, until the entire store was showing their appreciation.
I smiled to myself in the midst of all this joy and exhilaration, I was crying a bit at the beautiful scene, the wolf and fox holding each other tightly in their devotion with the entire store behind them cheering. Finally they broke apart, and both sat down, and I followed suit.
"So is it a custom to give gifts on a birthday?" Delnom asked.
"It is on my planet, hatch/ birthdays are celebrated differently depending on what race they are. Alecto's doesn't, but he asked so I suggested." I replied."And by Central, that's some gift."
Alecto smiled."What else could I get him? I wanted to show my undying devotion and love to him." I say Delnom blush at this remarkably frank defence,and I smiled.
"I had best be going back to Time Dancer. My congratulations to both of you." Alecto nodded, Delnom smiled, and I teleported back to Seriphine's room.
Silverine was sitting out of the mix, the two feminists were currently doing a sixty nine with one another, and I sidled over to him watching the were creature and the canine going at it.
"Too male for them, are you?"
"It seems so. How is Flair?"
"In one piece, although his heart might have skipped a few beats as I entered."
"Ah, you remind me so much of me." the Lupogriff smiled, watching the two girls lick each other to orgasm.
"I used to do it as a joke, but now it's become more than that, they learn what I am like, and I can see what they are like in those moments of fear."
"Fear is a remarkable leveller of things. It used to be if you were alone with any of us big creatures, you'd be really nervous, and we could read it like a book, and the same with mostly all scouts nowadays, they can try to hide it, but they can get scared. I've seen you scared, You've seen me scared, although my terror and my rage more interlock than anything else. But you are right, me and you do what we do to the newcomers not so much because we enjoy terrifying them, but because it teaches us what they are like, and what they will do in a crisis."
I nodded, watching Seriphine's pussy being muzzled by Time Dancer. My heart was no longer on sex, I was thinking on the things told to me by my leader. I got up and walked outside, thinking on this, and walked down the snow street. The wolves had heard about me, news like me travels fast, seeing as I had decked half of a hunting team by myself. They gave me a very wide berth, and I walked down the street, not accosted by anything.
As I thought on all this, I realised I wanted to find out how fast these creatures ran. They had been coming a phenomenal rate, and I looked up, looking at the wolves. Now naturally they were looking at me, and they all looked away as I stared at them, except one or two. One of these I walked to, and spoke politely.
"Can I borrow your talent for a second?"
"For what reason, creature?"
"When I was being chased, I noticed the incredible speed you creatures can run at in your feral form, would you object to being scanned at full tilt?"
"What purpose it this?"
"I can run, top speed at 21.5 kilometres an hour, and it's a thing of interest, purely physical speed. I will not force you, but I would just ask for you to run as fast as you can along this road for 200 yards."
The wolf considered this, and changed into his feral form. I made him wait until I got halfway down, and then waved, my glasses using trigonometry and scanning to calculate to a tenth of a kilometre how fast he was moving.
From a standing start to 40 kph, over in a few seconds, as he tore past me, easily doing 55, about sixty. He came to a halt, changed and came back.
"Seriphine wanted to know something of you as well." he said gruffly, and I looked mildly amused.
"What was that?"
"She intended to have you caught against the river bank, and yet you seemed not to notice it was there, how did you get across it so fast?"
"I will show you, just step back." He did, and I changed into my Raptor, melting the snow as I engaged my hover engines, rising until I was level with his muzzle, and then changed into my human bionics, landing on one knee. I stood straight.
"That is how, it's called an aircraft."
All the wolves looked at me, and the one I was talking with began to frisk me, as if suspecting some kind of trick, cautiously while gauging my reaction to this. I showed no emotion to his paws rubbing against my skin.
Well, almost no reaction, his paws rubbed against my steel cock as he ran his paw against my flax skirt, and I looked down. The wolf stopped, looking surprised, and looked enquiringly at me. I stepped towards the buildings, and stepped behind a log pile, the wolf following, before I raised my flax shirt and lowered my underwear to show the wolf my steel cock, and the wolf was quite impressed, although he tried not to show it.
"You like what you see, care to experience it?"
The wolf was highly debating this, but sense won over." No, I won't, it looks far too big for me no matter where you want to put it."
I nodded, and the wolf walked away while I straightened out my stuff and sat on the log pile, writing. Time Dancer was dealing with Seriphine and Silverine, Draco was up in the mountains, yes, everyone seemed to be alright, so I changed into my Raptor to do my land scan.
After a hour of flying I landed outside Seriphine's to refuel, and found Silverine out there. He took out a can of sugar drink and gave it to me as I transformed.
"Quiet this week."
"Might have been for you, it wasn't for me." I replied with absolute honesty. The Lupogriff chuckled and ruffled my hair, looking down at me like a father with his son.
"You did well with these creatures." He said with a smile.
"Thanks, fortunately no loss of life, but there's several wolves that will be sporting bruises for a few days."
"Well, no offence, but you can't run for anything, so they were going to make mincemeat of you during the chase, but still."
No offence was taken, these creatures could run so much faster than me, it wasn't funny. As the two of us sat there, discussing these things and being watched by the wolves, Time Dancer came out of the building behind us.
"Well, I've got all we need." she said enthusiastically.
"Back to base then?" I looked at Silverine. He nodded, and then paused.
"Alduin, could you do something for me to record as we go?"
"What?"
"Can you do a speed run in your Raptor and teleport in flight?"
"Sure." I nodded, "Any reason?"
"I'm just curious." the Lupogriff replied, and Time sat down to watch, so I nodded and changed back into my Raptor. As I did, Seriphine came out of the building, and as I began to take off down the road I could hear Time and Seriphine discussing me.
I took off slowly on the ice, and flew about a mile before banking in a lazy arc. Silverine announced he was recording, and I ignited everything, flooring it. I left Mach behind, and was encroaching on Mach 2 when I saw the village. With a flash, I teleported, and immediately shut down everything as I was carried through the dimensions back to Central, and I landed neatly on all three wheels.
I opened my com link.
"Did you get that, Silverine?"
"Yes, it was, astonishing."
"How so. " I looked confused at this idea.
"Well, you know the fuel ignition system on the jets and rockets?"
"Yes....why?"
"They kept burning for about two seconds, so we had four lines of flame for just a few seconds."
Sounded like Back to the Future, but I could look at the footage when Silverine got back. I changed into my human form, and teleported back to my home. First I would put Seriphine's fur in my drawer, then I would get some Aloe Vera to deal with the bruising. This was done, and I teleported back to Central to get to know Flair better, and also see Alecto on the subject of that staff he had got.
