Reality checks are tough
#10 of The Order
Anthony grumbled deeply in his draconian throat. This transformation stuff was for the birds.
Kirie met the pitch black dragon's grumble with a prolonged sigh as she closed her eyes in fatigue. Ardom had never been this unresponsive with his transformations.
"Let's just try it one more time" pleaded the leopardess, trying to convince herself simultaneously with the "Archon".
"You've got to be kidding me lady. We've been doing this for well over an hour now. It's time to give up the ghost..." said Anthony with a droning tone in his new, deep voice. He had grown tired of trying to turn back to his original self since the first few attempts at it had met with extreme fatigue and difficulty.
Kirie contemplated reprimanding the dragon for his lackadaisical plea, but decided against it. She was rather tired, not to mention her magic reserve was all but depleted from her attempts to help Anthony with his transformation. A night's rest would help rejuvenate them, and then they could resume their efforts in the morning.
"Sure, let's head back"
* * * * * * * * * *
Adala sat beside the fire pit in the middle of the cavern she had been staying in since that same day had dawned. It had only been a day, but it seemed like weeks. So many questions clouded her thoughts. So many feelings, wants, needs, and hopes kept swirling in her mind. All of these things were simply aggravated by the fact that she was less than a week away from deployment for the Revolution. Gaia knew what her superior officers would think when she returned from her extended leave.It was not like her at all to stay away from the local castle's keep for so long. On top of all of this, her lover whom she had met not more than a fortnight ago was a human chosen to help her with this war? Adala found herself asking the same question;
"Am I dreaming?"
Adala looked upon the fire that danced in front of her. The azure dragoness was mesmerized by the twisting and turning embers that performed for her as she deeply contemplated where to go from here.
She was glad for these moments. The times when she could collect her thoughts without anyone or anything present in her mind, or even physically near her. They were precious to Adala. That was the reason she had been in the field that fateful day to begin with: a need for solitude. This need had been with Adala for years. The simple want to be alone had kept her solitary in her ways. Not needing a mate, or even close friends, had kept her a strong and resilient dragoness through all the years she had spent on Gaia. Likewise, it had helped her become a superior officer as a member of the Revolution. Adala dared not to think of her people or even the war at this moment. Such thoughts would only escalate her moodiness.
As Adala sat in a solemn quiescence, a rustling could be heard from the entrance to the cave. Adala sporadically looked up, her reflexes creating urgency in her movements. She calmed herself down, however, when she realized it was simply Anthony returning with Kirie.
The boulder propped up against the entrance to the cave rustled for a moment, before being heaved aside by the mass of scales now known as "Archon". Anthony entered, flexing his scaly arm as he admired his new strength.
"Y'know, besides the whole 'new species' thing, maybe being a dragon wouldn't be all that bad" quipped the dragon in a booming voice. Kirie let out an inaudible chuckle as she entered behind the Archon. One thing was for sure; he had a similar sense of humor to Ardom.
Adala smiled, this was still Anthony all right.
Anthony walked to the center of the cave and sat beside the fire, lying down and turning away from Adala. Kirie walked to her storage chest and removed her cloak. Reducing her outfit to her undergarments, the standard "night ware" she was accustomed to. She then silently walked to an opposite side of the fire from Anthony, as well as Adala, forming a triangle between the three. Adala looked to Kirie as she sat down, then directly to Anthony, in his black scaled glory as he lay quietly. Kirie did likewise, looking to the girl before focusing her gaze on Anthony.
Anthony lay down beside the fire, looking away from the blaze as they heated his backside and tail. Here, he could practically feel the eyes of the two women as they looked at him. It was as if he could feel what their respective minds were experiencing. He simply quieted his own thoughts however. Sometimes, he thought, mental tranquility was needed in life. Not to mention his current predicament...
Adala sought to break the solemn nature of the three as they rested beside the fire.
"So... I'm guessing you two didn't have much luck?" said the dragoness.
"No, no we didn't" said Anthony with a slightly annoyed tone to his voice.
Adala and Kirie simultaneously felt a sense of sadness come over them, as if something had finally come forth from a storing of emotion. Anthony then lifted himself off of the cave's ground and carried his hulking frame over to the pad designated for him to sleep in.
"I don't want to talk right now, wake me in the morning"
* * * * * * * * * *
Anthony stared up at the damp cave wall in a lounging position. He had woken up after what seemed like hours of unrest. Comfort was not an issue, Kirie and Adala had made sure his makeshift bedding was both large and padded enough to create a comfortable sleeping area for the dragon. No, that wasn't it. This was entirely mental.
Anthony looked over to the two beds that rested across the large room across from him. There they were, the two women; could he even call them that? They were part animal as far as he could tell. But, so was he now...
Anthony gave a large draconian sigh and rose from his bedding. Out of habit, he scanned the room for clothing to cover himself, but then realized that in his new state they were not a necessity or convenience he had. Sighing ever louder in his muscular chest, the dragon walked to the entrance of the cave, not noticing one of the beds stirring as he left.
* * * * * * * * * *
Kirie quickly wrapped a thin cloak around herself as she slowly walked towards the cave's entrance. She silently followed the dragon and watched from afar as he languidly plopped down on the edge of the cliff.
Anthony sat there, his head somberly looking down at the forest's canopy far below as the stars shown bright in the cool night sky above him. There was an eerie calm to this night, and Kririe felt it as she neared the Archon. Anthony remained silent as she sat next to him. She looked straight ahead, not acknowledging him, not yet anyway.
They sat there for minutes that passed like days, neither saying anything out loud. Their minds were screaming at each other however. Not audibly to anyone but the pair as they sat, their minds offering their own conversations.
"You're going to need to learn to control that too you know..." said Kirie, breaking the pair's silent tension.
"Y-you mean the -"
"It's called an Iugum, a bond between an Archon and those who have bonded with him" said Kirie. Anthony looked at Kirie with a sincere look of complete amazement. He then turned away from her and looked up at the stars. The leopardess let out a discontented sigh; she knew the time would come where reality would hit him. And being from another world wouldn't help things go smoothly. She had hoped that he would somehow never come to this awkward stage, that being the so called "prophecy made real" would make him exempt from the pitfalls that plague each new Archon. She concluded that this was just a pipe dream however, and that it would take time and lots of patience if he was to become what Ardom had fortold.
"He was quick with this, wasn't he?" asked Anthony out of the blue. Kirie was dumbstruck with the question. Anthony waited for a response, and then looked up at the shocked muzzle of the leopard when she did not give one. Kirie turned away, hoping to avoid his gaze.
"He...Well, I wouldn't know really" she quietly moped. Anthony kept his stern gaze on Kirie, hoping she would deliberate further. Anything to get the focus off of him at this point was a welcoming thought to the dragon. Kirie turned back to meet Anthony's staring.
"Can we...Not talk about him?"
Anthony mentally gasped. There it was. Proof.
She was a living feeling thing, just like him and Adala. She was not some figment of his imagination, something existing in this dream he could not break free from.
No, she was real. He could see it there in the true sadness that was in her face. IT had finally happened. Anthony had been looking for something besides Adala to let him know that where he was was real. That this whole experience was not some extremely convoluted construction his mind had created. There it was, sitting 4 feet from him on the side of a cliff on some mystical planet he found himself on.
"Yea, we don't have to talk about him.." said the dragon. Kirie was glad he had dropped the issue without much of a resistance on her part.
"What about us?" he asked.
"U-Us?"
* * * * * * * * * *
Anthony sat there, only now Kirie was sitting on the inside of his lap, his large hulking frame surrounding her as he leaned over her shoulder and softly breathed. It was good to see that old techniques worked just as well as a dragon.
Kirie closed her eyes and listened to his heart beat behind her. Her own began to beat faster as a scaled hand slowly rubbed over her midsection, slowly going down to her nether-regions. Kirie softly spoke.
"Are you sure we should-"
"We both know you need this more than anything." said the dragon as Kirie felt her emotions swell.
He was right. No, more than right. Never had someone told her something more true than that. Kirie turned her head to look at Anthony's just above her shoulder. A single tear tricked down the fur of her cheek as she battled to keep it from becoming more than one.
"Yes, I do" she said as she leaned in and passionately kissed him on his muzzle.
Anthony was tentative at first, but met the kiss' fervor within seconds. Kirie locked tongues with the Archon as their lips mingled. Anthony broke the kiss shortly however as Anthony pulled away. He sternly looked at her as she worriedly looked up at him.
"Can you...you know.." asked the dragon calmly. Kirie pondered what he was saying, but that was a short lived mental task when she felt something throb against her buttocks.
"Sure" she said as she stood up. The leopardess sauntered away from Anthony to a large rock face. She swung her hips into her stride as she placed one hand on the rock face and raised her hips to present herself.
"Well, is this what you wanted?" she asked as the dragon slowly approached her, his member finally fully exiting its sheath. Anthony quickly placed it adjacent to Kirie's labia as he leaned over her.
"Yes, but I'm fairly certain that you want it much more" he said as he slowly thrust
forward. Kirie let out a small gasp as the cock did not simply impale her as it had the first time he had transformed. Anthony went very slowly as his tip pushed apart the entrance to Kirie's pussy. A slow speed to start was always an option on nights like these.
Kirie turned back away from him as she savored every inch that entered her first the tip, then more and more entered until 4 inches of dragon belonged to her and her alone. Kirie looked back at the dragon and moaned softly, a small but powerful orgasm slowly creeping through her body. Not a random moan of ecstasy, but one with meaning. A meaning that any male instantly knows, regardless of experience.
"Sure thing..." said Anthony as he picked up the pace, moving farther inside before rearing back and thrusting again faster. Then again, and again. Kirie found herself having small orgasms every 5 or 6 thrusts. Those first 2 experiences with him had been great, but this...This was beautiful to the leopardess as her pink tongue hung limp as she moaned.
Anthony was going faster now, the leopard had less of a vice grip on his cock than Adala, but she knew how to use her motions to coax his member into her at the perfect spot of pleasure. Kirie began moaning more as the thrusts began coming at even faster intervals. Their soft love making began to become what Kirie had wanted since she had run away after seeing him bathing that day: Passionate Sex.
Kirie let out a growl as Anthony began slapping against her from behind. His cock embedded its way far into her, hitting her cervix repeatedly. She felt the large thing against her pussy as it was gripped by her insides. This was hers for the moment, and she would enjoy it as much as she could. Kirie threw her head into the air and uttered a yelp as Anthony pulled out all the way and pushed in harder than before, the tip of his member smashing into Kirie. Anthony could feel himself getting close. Kirie's constant gripping and rocking was working towards his own orgasm.
Kirie looked back, regaining her composure as she looked up over her shoulder and muttered;
"Do it...inside of me"
This was all the dragon needed. Anthony leaned far over Kirie as placed his maw over the back of her neck, lightly biting it. This caught the leopard by surprise. How did he know what leopards did during coupling?! It caught her by surprise so much in fact, that she instantly began the first few rising moments of the largest orgasm she had had in over 10 years.
Anthony felt her walls grip him harder than ever before, as he began to spurt his heavy load inside of her. The thrusting stopped and was replaced by heavy throbbing as the dragon deposited all of his contents directly into the leopard's hungry snatch. Kirie's eyes rolled up as she rode every ounce of her orgasm for what it was worth.
It had been years, but here he was. Her new lover, inside of her as she came harder than ever before. The pair remained in that position for a solid minute, with Anthony dousing the fire of Kirie's insides as she thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The dragon finally began to pull out as Kirie slumped to the ground and braced herself against the side of the cliff.
Anthony backed up and sat on his haunches as he breathed heavily. He looked up to see Kirie slowly twist herself into a ball, and begin licking her labia walls. The dragon's eyes widened as he watched. She couldn't be...cleaning herself, could she?
Kirie finished her task as she stood. Anthony watched with amazement at her form. The dark but glistening fur of hers. The silent but always present grace in her motion. Her powerful yet svelte muscles aiding every movement. Her long twisting tail and perky round ears...
"Shall I clean my King also?" asked the leopard as she leaned over, her breasts dangling over the dragon as she teased him.
Anthony instantly fell on his back and clutched his heavy chest as a pain rocked through him.
* * * * * * * * * *
Adala felt heat as it slowly drenched the inside of the cave. It was morning. The dragoness did not want to get up, but would do so anyway. It was still very early, the cave was not lit very well as the dragon removed her covers and got up. Thanking her genes for her great night vision, she got up from the bedding and looked across the cave. Shockingly, neither Kirie nor Anthony were in their beds. With extreme worry, Adala quickly donned a small cloak and ran to the front of the cave. Had something a happend? had they been kidnapped? Where were they? How would she find them? Was Anthony alright?
Adala turned the corner to see a crumpled black figure lying on the ground not 50 feet away from the cave's entrance. She had found Kirie! As Adala got closer however, she could see it was not one crumpled leopard on the ground, but two. And they were lying together in a soft embrace as they slept. Adala looked upon them for a moment in disbelief.
A second later, the larger, more heavily built and muscular leopard's eyes fluttered open and looked up at the azure dragoness. Adala looked directly back at him and witnessed his eyes change from morning groginess, to realization, to 100% attention.
"I believe some explanations are in order..." said Anthony with an awkward smile.
