Gryphon's keep
The Raven flew out over the keep, circling once so the guards knew i was there. Then i glided down to outside the main gate. I wore nothing but my black feathers and the Messengers Harness from which dangled a small pouch of coin, the message tube and the highly polished wings-and-scroll of the Messengers Sygle. Oh yes i should tell you about Mertoch Keep. Not the largest, but a surprisingly powerful structure economically in the Duchy of Terlan in the Kingdom of Aie. It was about a days hard walk form the nearest town and looked over a major trade route to the next kingdom. It was kept well fortified with a strong and able Garison. The Lord there was- technically a baron- but like most of the feathered peoples almost never wore a coronet or robes of state. Oh yes, and he was a Gryphon. The garison was no less than 1/3 female. Some would say that was unusual, but it was simply the Gryphon hiring the very best he could whenever he could. There were rumors he was a bit eccentric, and that he stayed mainly out of politics. It was the 'season' and he was one of the few nobles not at the kings court trying to curry favors and alliances. Flapping hard i landed in front of the main gate. i didn't kick up much dust as there wasn't much to toss into the air. The keep was built on the cliff that overlooked the main trade road though the mountains. The two guards watched me intently. One was a boar, heavily built but not fat of course, not with the workouts he would get each day while working here. The armor was heavy and mostly leathers with a few well placed plates of steel, all of it well cared for and defiantly well used. The boar held a heavy halberd and looked at me under the helm he wore with his smallish looking eyes nearly glaring (though that might have just been his normal expression). The second guard was a more lightly armored fox. He had a pike. which he held grounded and ready to swing to ready at any point needed. the fox smiled. "someone will be over soon i'm sure ta take ya inside." It was only a few minuets. The small door in the gate opening. There stood another guard. this one Equine and in a much more formal armor. It was highly polished over the breastplate and leg armor. It was defiantly a stallion, and to explain that i nave to tell you about how the Gryphon liked to have his personal guard dress, at least when on formal 'court' duty. The chest plate was highly polished as i said, and was etched with stylized wings. That plate reached down to the top edge of the guards abdomen. they each wore a heavy tooled belt for their sword and to hold up the leg armor. however the Gryphon insisted that each on court guard duty not have any need for abdominal or genital armor (he also likes to have most of his guard an equines for some reason. no less than half of them). Each would stand for a Court appearance holding some sort of well used pole arm. There were a lot more guards of course than appeared in the Gryphon's court. and each of them would have more traditional armors for when they were not in the formal court. The Horse nodded to me and i bowed back, fluttering a wing slightly before being led into the keep. The first courtyard was wide open. It was a grassy zone completely surrounded by the high walls. Someone breaking in through the gate would be immediately surrounded and captured. To one side a group of guards were running through paces. I could hear a blacksmith working somewhere. There was the tink tink of hammer on metals but i couldn't see where the forge was from here. We passed into another gate and into a garden area. This section paced thickly with edibles growing well. It wasn't enough to sustain the entire place over a siege bit it would help. About a day away was the village that sustained the keep and weekly or so supplies were brought in by cart. There were the patrols that went constantly sent out, making sure no bandit bands went infiltrating the path. The Keep was in front of me now. A Page opening the door to let me into the anteroom with the Horse. the door closed with a thunk and the door to the main audience chamber slowly opened, creaking dramatically. It was brightly lit by the tall windows to either side that let in the bright sunlight. The room had rows of benches that had a few people waiting or recovering from their time in front of the Gryphon. And there He was. He was lounging on the dais. Magnificent. Bathed in the afternoon light His reddish brown feathers properly oiled and nearly shiny. His sharp hooked beak a dull yellow just below his piercing bright yellow eyes as they focused on me. His leonine tail waving slowly back and forth as he lay on the dais above the crowd. Other guards ringing the room in the polished armor of His court, each one watching the crowd. several pages standing quietly to the side in case anyone needed anything. A badger in heavy robes with a heavy ring of keys on his belt, the Senishal. The badger looked up from his discussion with the Gryphon as i followed the Guard up to them. i hardly noticed the others actually so taken I was by Him. Anyway, i approached. bowing my head deeply and reaching to pull out the message tube. A few of the guards got nervous as I pulled the tube off my harness. but the seneschal waved them down and reached for the message. I took a step back and bowed my head again. Watching the Gryphon as he puled open he tube and slid out the heavy parchment. it had the seal of the mayor of the town at the far end of the pass, in the next kingdom. The badger took the parchment as the Gryphons claw snipped off the seal. the badger held it open and back so the Gryphon could read it easily. Apparently it wasn't all that long, but the effect was dramatic. it seemed like every feather and hair was suddenly standing up. the golden eyes dilated as He glared over at me, a growl sliding out of the sharp beak, tail waving back and forth fast. "SERGEANT!! Grab this bird!! take him it to the dungeon and prepare it for exi ... hu?" The Gryphon stopped. The vicious head swing around an the Seneschal elbowed him. then whispered in His ear. Meanwhile the arm around my throat had pulled my head back. The Seargent's short sword out and ready for any struggle i might put up. The fox made sure i was thoroughly pinned. and the guards around the chamber were ready to run my through with whatever pole arm that individual had. The golden eyes narrowed turning back to me once more. "Sergeant at Arms. Take him to my chambers. Secure him properly there. Page! go fetch the Commander." He glanced up at the widows noting the angle of the sun. "He's probably in the outer courtyard in a training session. Have him report to me Immediately. And send in a Runner as well." The Sergeant carefully slipped off my back though he kept a grip around my neck and his sword at my throat as he dragged me out of the Hall and into smaller back passages. Making me twist through narrow corridors as if to make sure i was unable to find my way out that way. Thus I didn't hear what went on in the Great Hall. It was a large room, and i could see a balcony to one side as i was guided in. Other guards had joined to make sure of my cooperation. First shackles were set around my ankles, though not linking my ankles together. Then a broad cloth was wrapped around my beak making it a gag. This had two small rings in it as the tied it on and secured it with a strap around my head. I knelt sprawled over the massive bed. noticing the sheets and blankets were a hard worn homespun type, Thick and heavy, ready for hard use. They strapped a spreader between my knees and then stretched the ankle chains out to other furniture. to secure my legs completely. I sprawled out over the bed with wings wide as the slid something like chinese handcuffs over each finger. These were tied to individual ropes and then pulled tight to stretch me spralled across the bed. Another two ropes connected my mussel strapping and secured my head so I couldn't move that. One tied my tail feathers, bunching them and pulling them to the side. Last the blindfold. After that i heard them step out. leaving me with only the sound of my breathing. huffing softly out of my nostrils and whatever faint sounds came over the balcony. * * *
In the hall and out of my hearing the Gryphon waited impatiently for the two he had summoned. Dismissing in fact the rest of the hangers on in his court. "There you are Captain. i have a task for you." the feathered head nodded. To those who knew it not a pleasant expression in the hawklike face. He paused though as one of the wolfrunners come in, still securing a piece of light armor as he padded up to the Gryphon. The badger nodded handing a parchment to the wolf, the ink still wet. "get that to the messengers Guild hostel in the village as soon as you can." the Gryphons eyes blinked hurmmphing. "it's very important they get that as soon as possible. I expect a response within a day of them getting it. Though you don't have to wait. They will certanly send a reponce here. Now get going" He turned towards the Horse now. "Your to get yourself a group together. I have a task." A growl slipped out of the beak. "there was an ... incident ... in our embassy in the next kingdom. The message is that no one is there any more. I need you and your people to go there. I want whoever took My people out. Bring them here if at all possible. I want to deal with them myself. And we will need to make the embassy habitable again. We need it. i shall send a delegation after you for that. But first, im going to have to work off some anger" * * *
It was hours later. At least i think so. It certainly felt like hours of being strapped down. I heard a heavy flapping of wings and talons an stone. The clicks approach me, pacing around the bed and behind. "hmm. Did a good job this time." My cloaca tightened. I was suddenly feeling exposed and that was the only thing that could move. i felt the sharp tip of the beak stroke my rump just above my tail. my tail feathers would have twitched at that if they could. My cheek feathers did fluff out as i blushed hard. Then i felt him reach up, preening my nape. My eyes closed under the blindfold and i would have moaned if i could. The air softly shushing out of my nostrils as he stroked me. There was a heavy, musky smell in the air but as a bird i couldn't tell. Ravens are notorious for a lousy sense of smell after all. Then i felt his weight. the Gryphon's chest leaning onto my back. At first a soft presence that simply got heavier, not harder. Scaly birdlike forefeet reached up beyond my outstretched wings to the bedding, tightening to press himself down on me. His leonine rear legs rubbed against mine and i suddenly felt the tip of his arousal probing under my tail. My cloaca spazumed in anticipation, throbbing hot. Again i would have moaned out had i the chance as the barbbeld tip stroked over my opening. His beak reaching to grip my nape feathers as he gave a first strong thrust. Burying his length into me. My body pulsing around his shaft as he blazed a trail into me. I would have been cawing, loudly in pleasure as the barbbeld shaft pummeled me. My breath puffing hard through my nostrils as I felt the Gryphon thrusting hard. My body inside and out shuddering as i ejaculate around His shaft, lubricating Him. Allowing him even better access into me. He chuckled. "Mmmm. Yes. Your mine now." The Gryphons breath panted against my ear. Rubbing His beak stroking my nape feathers. His hips continuing to ram into me deeply. He cried out. Pushing his hips tight to mine. His barbbeld shaft slamming in deeply as his semen floods into my colon. "Mm very good. definitely going to keep you." The gryphon knew that raven took a single mate. And having taken me I would be his as long as he wished. He reached down, pulling off the blindfold first. His hips started stroking again. his bright gold eyes staring into mine now as my insides throb and pulse around his shaft. His hips began to thrust once more. The sharp beak reached forward to snap and cut the lines that were strapped to my beak-gag. then he reached to shred the rubbery bond around my beak, tossing that away as his beak slid over mine, pulling my head back till his tongue pushed in to rub mine. I moaned into His mouth. My eyes glazing over in pleasure each time his hips pushed his shaft into me. I moaned and gasped. My insides throbbing in tight waves around the shaft. I arched my hips up as he pushed down on me. My semen splashing over his shaft once again, lubricating him and letting him have even greater access into me. He took it. Ramming faster as his beak slid down to stroke my neck. There was a gleam in his eyes, knowing that once he was finished I would be under his control completely. His hips ramming over and over. Stroking inside me. Blasting more of His seed into me as he gushed again. The next thing he released was my fingers. Snapping each cord in time to more thrusts. His hips continuing to slam me. His furry sheath tight against my cloaca each time He pushed himself into me. So before more of his seed blasted deep into my pulsing insides the Gryphon pulled off. Settling behind me a moment as i spiraled on the bed there. panting as i tried to recover form the pummeling he just gave me. As i lay there he bent, undoing the spreader bar on my thighs. Then unlocking each ankle. With a push he slid me up onto the bed fully and rolled me on my back. With my wings half spread now. The massively handsome Gryphon slid up on top of me once again. Pressing chest to chest now. His hands reaching up to grip my shoulders as his hips settled against mine again. i gasped softly. feeling that his still hard barbbeld shaft was probing me once again. His bright golden eyes gazing in to mine as my beak opened to softly caw up to him. His beak dipped down, also open, to stroke his stiff tongue across mine. A deep and sudden moan sliding out of my beak and into his as he rammed himself into me once again humping deeply into me with short fast strokes. Minutes later i gasped. I was dry now or seemed to be. all my own seed soaking down over his shaft and hthe bedding and my thighs and my tail feathers. Though the Gryphon didn't seem to care. He was still thrusting hard and i deep. His own semen blasting deeply into me minuets later as i lay under him, gasping. His hips slowed now but did not stop. Rocking as he gazed down into my glazed eyes. He looked up and towards the door. His furry hips shoving his barbbeld tip deeper in me as several rats came in carrying a big plater of roast beast. The Gryphon nodded. Gesturing with his beak to have them set the tray on a table beside the bed. Keeping it close so he can eat without dismounting. He reached over to the steaming meat fram wich he tore off a healthy chunk, gulping that down as his hips pushed tight against mine. I groaned softly as his sheath pressed against my throbbing cloaca. He tore off another chunk of the juicy meat, pressing that into my beak. Forcing me to swallow. My little bird brain locking on that. Gulping it down. Becoming completely devoted to the Gryphon. Panting as he fed himself and me. His shaft stroked inside me over and over. It was several hours later that he dismounted. I had nearly passed out several times now and he stepped around me as if to give me a break. My cloaca was leaking, gobs of mixed seed dripping down to pool over my black tailfeathers. It wasn't more that a few moments though. His still hard shaft sliding around to rub my open beak as i panted there softly. My hot breath whooshing across Him as my beak tip stroke his sheath and down across his furry scrotum. Straddling my head he push into my beak. Rubbing his shaft against my tongue and across the inside of my mouth. His hips stroked. groaning as he settled atop me. Thrusting into my mouth over and over. He then gave a growling caw. Blasting seed into my throat as he pushed deep into my beak, blowing a an amasing amount into my stomach as i swallowed as fast as i can. The Gryphon was amassing. He continued to thrust against my face for another hour or two. Finally stepping off me some time later. He slid a collar around my neck. Locking a leather leash down to attach that to a bedpost. It was long enough so that once i recovered i would be able to use the guardrobe once i could stand. He rested there half atop me as well for a while, half asleep when the page stepped in and bowed as he looked up. "M'Lord? A messenger has come, a Raptor, waiting to receive you." I watched as He fluffed and preened a bit before heading out, his tail high, giving me a great view as he stepped out. (part 1? shoud i contiue? any coments will be apreciated))
