Snake Lords of the Desert 22
#22 of The Chronicles of Lore
Another development in his subjugation of the emperor, another idea on how to make it all the easier.
The night came and went, and by morning, Lorenus was unsurprised to see that the Kgosi was still struggling against his bonds. The naga had noticed that the elephant had been rather regular with his attempts, allowing himself to sleep for an hour or so, waking up and trying the bonds, and then sleeping again. It was almost as if the Emperor of the Sizwe believed that the snake wasn't aware of what he was doing.
If so, Lorenus had no reason to disabuse him of the notion. At least, not yet. It was better to sacrifice a little sleep in order to study his enemy. And study, it seemed, was needed.
After all, he did escape after we thought that he was completely done-in for the night. He has many surprises left for us...
Breakfast was served in a separate tent, and this time, Lorenus confronted the Kgosi without the aide of his perch. Keeping the jackal away so that they could have time to themselves, he fixed the elephant with a simple stare, one that Sithembile knew better than to meet. The elephant looked anywhere but at him, his eyes frequently darting from one place to the next, and never to the serpent's face. It would have been amusing were it not so annoying at the same time.
"Tell me, Kgosssssi."
"Nnngh?"
"Why doessss it matter sssso much...to have freedom?"
"Hmmph? Heh. Why would one of you want to know that?"
"Becaussse I am curioussss. Becausssse it issss different for me to ssssee ssssomeone elssse sssstruggling sssso much for it."
And because he was curious what others fought for. He knew how he fought for his own personal freedom from his father's control, and he knew how hard fought and hard won that was, but he didn't understand the causes that others struggled for. The slaves could not tell him, for all those that came from the Snakelands did not remember wanting to be free, and those that lived beneath the control of the Sizwe didn't understand freedom anymore, too damaged to explain the concept.
Leaders, on the other hand, free leaders, were more interesting. They were not enslaved, but they held slaves, and relied on the system of control to keep that control. What were their personal reasons to use a system that they would not accept being used on them?
The Kgosi turned away, chuffing softly. Lorenus wasn't too surprised; it was hard for someone to answer without sounding like a hypocrite.
Sighing softly, he extended his tail, dragging it along the elephant's shaft. The exposed rod was still quite long, even though it was soft, and to his happy surprise, it started rising as soon as his tail made contact. Lorenus chuckled, feeling it throb softly against his coils.
"What issss thissss, Kgossssi?"
"Nothing but traitorous anatomy."
"It ssseemsss that your body issss enjoying the touch of mine."
"It's nothing."
"Issss it not?"
He slowly coiled his tail around the elephant's shaft, gently tugging at it from the base to the tip to encourage it to keep growing, to keep throbbing, to keep...twitching. He smiled, sticking out his tongue a few times as it started to bounce and pulse in his coils, slowly forming a loop with his tail that went from the base, to the head, and then back down again, slowly constricting the large gray rod. Each time he did so, he felt it pulse again, throbbing again, begging for more attention.
It was just perfect, really.
He leaned on his hands as he watched the Kgosi struggle against him, trying to hold out and keep from groaning. It was not surprising; he likely knew that this wasn't natural. Then again, he imagined that the Kgosi would have fought everything that the naga presented, considering where it was coming from.
He stored that idea away; it might be useful later.
As he kept stroking that large shaft, he slithered just a bit closer, running his fingers up the elephant's chest. He felt the powerful pectoral muscles tense, and he could tell that the Kgosi was trying, once more, to snap his ropes. There was nothing that the elephant wanted more than to get free, and likely his second goal was to wring the naga's neck. In a way, that danger was part of the fun for Lorenus; it meant that anything that he managed to accomplish was going to be something that was well-earned, rather than merely another secret slut throwing itself at him.
"What'sss the matter, hmm? Is pleasssssure so dissstassssteful?"
"It is...when it comes...from you..."
"Ah, sssuch a ressserved elephant..."
He stroked his fingers further and further up, teasing the little gray nubs that were further up the elephant's hairy chest, feeling the tight muscle just under them. The Kgosi was as far from pleased as one could get, but that was hardly his problem. The naga chuckled, shaking his head as his tail sped up, and the elephant's gasps and moans only grew stronger.
That little gamble of putting a few 'plots' into the elephant's mind had been worthwhile. He was sure that the Kgosi was fighting them off to the best of his ability, trying to organize his mind again into fighting against the naga properly, but Lorenus knew that it would be hard to do that. Messing with the mind caused many distractions, and it took little effort to throw even the most organized of minds into at least partial disarray.
In fact...
He smiled as he leaned in, his nose pressing against the elephant's trunk.
"Tell me, Kgosssi. Do you think you can resssissst me forever?"
"I don't have to."
"Oh? Do you think that your ssssoldierssss will ssssave you?"
"There are those...that are loyal."
"Then I will have to find them, won't I?"
"Hmmph. You'd have to turn the whole country upside-down."
"Then there mussst not be many, hmm?"
There was no response from the elephant, and Lorenus chuckled.
"Really. You ssshould jusssst sssurender. It would be better for all of ussss."
"Never."
"Ah, well..."
He brought his musky tail up from the elephant's dripping shaft, using it to force the Kgosi to look him in the eyes. The elephant tried to keep his eyes closed for a moment, but the naga's fingers sufficed to push them open.
"Here we go again."

_Once more, he stood in the middle of the many tents, the various plotting and plannings going on audible even from where he stood. In the distance, he could already hear the roaring of fury from the elephant's mental avatar, and he knew that he didn't have a lot of time to work. _
_The naga slithered through the tents one by one, giving each map table a quick look to assess what it was about before making a decision. If it was worth messing with - if it was about the throne, about personal responsibility, about lust, about submission to another - then he moved the pieces around. If it was about the priorities of the kingdom, or about the war that the Kgosi had left behind, he continued on, pretending that he had seen nothing at all. _
_There were only so many that he could play with, after all, and the elephant was after him with a vengeance, likely pushing harder than he had done the last time. This time, there was no way that Sithembile didn't know what was going on. This time, he would be hunted. _
_It was a strange feeling, being hunted. He imagined that his prey didn't feel like this, most of the time. He imagined that they were afraid, that they worried about what would happen if they got caught. For him, it was more...invigorating. It was not the challenge of working against his father, the danger of being caught and obliterated. Rather, it was the challenge of making sure that he didn't make a mistake, that he earned his victory, that this person would push him to be worthy of it. _
_This was no easily-drugged whore. This was no slave that was merely being taught the right way to behave. This was someone else, a well-trained ruler that was doing his best to defend his - _
_Lorenus bumped into someone, which shocked him. It was the first time that anything like that had happened in the mind of another. The naga pulled back slightly, and blinked as he stared at an exact copy of the Kgosi. _
_"You..." _
_He pointed over his shoulder, and then back at the elephant again. _
"How are you here...and there?"
_"He is not me, and yet, he is," the elephant said. _
"What are you?"
"Another part of him. One that wants you out."
"Oh, really? And how -"
CRACK!
_The naga went flying head over coils backwards, slamming through two tents and knocking over several different tables. He groaned as he hit the ground, rubbing his face, looking up at the elephant that had stopped him. _
Now that he had a better look, he could see that this one wasn't quite as substantial as the original. This one...
Oh, I get it...
"You're an emotion. Rage, perhaps."
"Hmmph."
"Now isn't that interesting...he's pulling out all the stops to push me out, isn't he?"
"Yes. We are."
"Heh...you know, that's only giving me more ideas."
"Take your ideas, and get out."
The elephant copy lifted a fist, and Lorenus took the advice...for now.

The naga came back to the real world with an ache in his cheek, but no bruise. The pain was purely in his mind, and it came with a certain sense of satisfaction.
"You truly do not know how to fight me...all you do issss give me new wayssss in."
"Mmph...what are you...talking about?"
"Why sssshould I ruin the ssssurprisssse?"
He chuckled, slithering around the pole that the elephant Emperor was tied to. He got around to the back, slithering up and around a bit, loosening a few ropes so that the elephant's ass was no longer quite so restrained. With his dicks already hardening after having given the Kgosi some teasing, he felt that it was time that he had a little gratification.
With a simple pull and twist of his body, he slid one of his cocks in between the elephant's ass cheeks. The Kgosi stiffened, but the naga was already ready for that. He had his coils wrapped around the Emperor's cock, giving it a good tight squeeze, and the big man groaned under his breath.
"Mmmph...you..."
"I am going to fuck you..."
"You wouldn't dare."
"Oh, I would..."
He smiled, prodding the Kgosi's asshole. Unsurprisingly, he felt it twitch against him, and more than that, he felt it clench, as if it was trying to pull him inside. The Kgosi gasped in shock, and Lorenus smiled.
"It'sssss already sssstarted. The changesssss."
"What did you do to me?"
"Exactly what you and your sssson do to sssslavessss. I jusssst made you want what I want."
"Nnngh...I will not...want..."
"Your cock sssaysss otherwissse."
Chuckling, Lorenus gently slid one of his cocks past the elephant's rim, getting the expected stiffening, tightness, clenching...and then the slow, eager moan that followed as the elephant Kgosi felt the pleasure that came from being taken from behind. He smiled, slithering more of his tail around his captive.
Oh, this was not a real submission, he knew that much. The elephant was too strong-willed to come down from his resistance with just a single ass-fucking. But it was a start, and it meant that there was more to work with than he'd thought.
After all, if anger could come out and fight...then lust could come out and be his ally.
You shouldn't have shown me your emotions, Kgosi. Now I know what I can turn to my side...
He hissed softly in the elephant's ear, and then slowly went to town on his ass. It was time for him to finally have some fun that wasn't going to end in blue balls.
"Enjoy thissss...I know I will..."
The End
