Alone in the night, lurking beneath the jagged entrance of a dark, murky cave he knew all-too-well. An old black dragon waited, brooding in the cold.

A crackle of lightning lit up the sky behind him, arching through the heavens before flickering away into the cold black void, gone, as quickly as it came. The resonant boom of thunder followed soon after, but this time it was further than the others, distant. His blood-red eyes narrowed.

The rain poured down hard now, a torrential monsoon, and what was likely the last heavy rainfall of the season. Fat droplets struck his dark ebony scales, running down the length of his long, wet, muscular body, before evaporating into thin wisps of steam the moment they touched his belly-scales. A dragon's fire started in his belly, and even in his later years, he still ran hot enough that the wet didn't bother him, and yet, the frigid autumn temperature made his bones ache and his weary mind wander. How he wished he were somewhere warm and dry, with a belly full of meat and a fresh, fertile young female curled between his legs. He sighed. It had been a simpler time then, but those days were long since passed, and now, he was an old, jaded dragon filled with contempt and self-doubt.

There was little denying it. He'd been alive for thousands of years, and it was time to finally accept he was approaching the final stages of his life. Elder-hood, where he'd take a willing thrall to the red peaks of Mount Balthan, spread his wings wide, and sacrifice them in a ritual so profane, it would tear a hole in the night-sky itself and permit him return passage to the dragon-realm of Miznaresh, to be judged by the elder-gods of his own kind. He scoffed. They were not gods. Immortal, yes, but old, blind, decrepit, and cruel. sustained by the blood and spirit of innocent sacrifice. He wondered what they'd make of him. Mate-less, old, without known heir. A freak, surely. Perhaps he'd slaughter them all and take their throne, to see if the legends were true.

He'd thought long and hard about this moment. Who he'd choose, when, and how he'd explain it. Would they be willing to die for him? Join souls in eternity? Or would he have to trick them? Force them. Break them to his will? He frowned, pondering the decision. Perhaps centuries ago it would have been a simpler choice, but now, ageless time had dulled his fangs and softened his heart. He strode into the warm, spacious cavern. It made no difference. It must be done.

Little voices echoed deeper within ...

"See? Mine's way bigger. Your's is tiny in comparison!"

"No! You're just older! That's all! Besides, mine has lots of spines on it! Yours only has a few."

"So what? Females hate spines, Ma' says they hurt. It's the size that counts."

"Nuh-uh! Da' says the spines help too! He says the spines make females ovu ... ovu ... ovu-whatever."

"Ovulate, dummy, and that's just because Da' feels sorry for you. Don't worry, maybe yours will be big like mine one day!"

"Hey! Take that back!"

There was a thump, a bump, then sounds of a scuffle. Angry shrieks and squawks could be heard echoing down the tunnel. Vax frowned and quickened his step.

He came upon a vast circular cavern bathed in moonlight, stepping beneath the natural archway, and onto the smooth gray, polished stone floor. Above, through a crevice in the ceiling, the rocky ledge was sparsely covered in creeping vegetation and dense foliage that managed to prevent most of the rain-water from entering, and what little did tumbled in through a small waterfall, falling in thin sheets of fresh water deeper into the mountainside.

In the middle, two small, pure white gryphons we're tumbling across the floor, nipping, biting, and fighting with each other. Judging by their small size and bits of down still clinging to their undersides, they were hardly more than a few summers old, fledgelings at best. He recognized them as Jak's twin children, Qe, and Qi. Rambunctious little beasts. Just like their father in his youth.

They both looked up when he entered the room, their head-crests flaring straight up in surprise, then horror, as they reeled back and clung to each-other, shivering as if their lives depended on it. He looked at them in turn, scowling at the sight of their little members rubbing together. The older one; Qe's, didn't look much bigger.

"Relax." he rumbled soothingly, stepping out of the shadows and into the silvery moonlight. "It's me." Their expressions changed instantly, going from one of pure horror, to a mixture of relief and excitement. They bounded upright, cocked their little heads inquisitively, waggled their furry rumps, then pounced on him.

"Uncle Vax!"

"I knew you'd come back!"

"Wow you're big!"

"How do you get so big!"

"Dragons never stop growing, silly!"

"Let me see your claws!"

"Me first!"

"Ouch, they're sharp!"

"Watch yourselves." he chuckled, flinching as the tiny gryphons clambered all over him. "Don't scratch. I just had them polished, you know."

"Can you flex your wings, Uncle?" Qi asked, jumping up and hanging off his shoulder, gazing at him with dazzling gold eyes that no doubt came from his mother. Qe's we're bright green. Like his father's in youth.

"Sure." he chuckled, stretching them out and unfurling them the length of the cavern. The males tumbled off his back, gazing at his extensive wingspan in awe.

"Wow, they're so dark!" Qe exclaimed.

"How do you fly with no feathers?"

"Dragon's don't need feathers to fly." he explained gently. "We're stronger than gryphons. More power in our strokes."

Qi frowned. "No fair! I wanna be a dragon!"

"Me too!" Qe agreed.

Vax chuckled. "Don't we all."

The smaller gryphon, Qi, nosed up beneath the base of his heavy leathery tail, giving the underside a curious sniff. His bright green eyes fluttered and he rolled all over the ground, purring.

"Mmm, you smell good too, Vax! How do you smell so good?"

He picked the mischievous hatchling up by the scruff of the neck and set him down firmly in front of him.

"Careful now." he reprimanded. "Remember what I said. You mustn't do that, else you'll start having strange dreams that never go away. You know that."

"But I never dream!" the male wailed.

"Yes you do." he said with a patient smile. "You just don't remember them, silly."

Across the room, another gryphon entered from a low-hanging archway, a large handsome male with a sharp yellow beak, speckled-white fur, powerful wings, and deep, sapphire-blue eyes that shone in the dark. They narrowed suspiciously at the sight of him. It was their father, and a creature he knew all too-well:

"Vaxargan?" The gryphon asked in a low, cautious voice. "I thought I heard a commotion. What are you doing here?"

"Ahh, Jak." he purred. "Just the one I wanted to see. We must talk." he growled. "In private."

Jak stared at him, then at his hatchlings sitting obediently around his curled tail. Even they knew something wasn't quite right.

Jak jerked his head towards the entrance of the cave. "Run along now, hatchlings. I must speak to your uncle. Alone."

"But we wanna play with Uncle Vax!" they wailed in unison.

"Listen to your father, little ones." the older dragon replied sternly. "I will not be overlong. I promise."

The little gryphons huffed in discontent then scampered off, disappearing into the narrow tunnels that led deeper into their home.

When they were gone, Vax turned and looked Jak up-and-down, sizing him up. It had been a while since they'd last spoken, and the gryphon was older now, fully-mature, hardly the little whelp he'd caught napping in his cave all those years back. His white mane was thick and ruffled, and beneath his bristling coat of warm white feathers his body was lean with muscle and sinew, yet still nowhere near him in size. The gryphon stared back at him, unfazed.

He raised an eye-ridge in mock-amusement. "Uncle Vax?" he began.

Jak shrugged amicably enough. "What can I say? They like you."

"They're ... furrier than I remember." he said. "How old are they now?"

"Old enough to start eating all my food and getting on my nerves." Jak replied hotly. "Little pests! They never run out of energy."

"You used to be the same way if I remember correctly." Vax chuckled. He looked around the empty cavern, unimpressed. "What happened here? Where's your mate?"

"Which one?" He shrugged. "Aeria? Shiara?" Who knows. Probably on some migratory flight down south with a gaggle of other females. All I know is I'm stuck looking after these little deviants."

"Don't lie." Vax purred with a smile. "You like it. You're a father now."

Jak frowned. "I'd like it a bit more if my mate wasn't flying off to lift her tail for some southern short-hair."

"That's awfully specific."

"Only because I've done the same, not lifting my tail, mind you." he added quickly enough. "But you already know that."

Vax smirked. "That's right. I forgot you only lift your tail for me."

Jak scowled at him.

"That's the problem with you gryphons," he continued, deciding to change the subject. "Too social. We're a male to challenge my claim to a female, I'd-"

"-rip his heart out and eat it before his very eyes?" the gryphon rudely interjected. "Spare me, Vax. I've heard it all before."

The old dragon leered. "Then perhaps you should do the same. Then you wouldn't wind up in this sort of mess."

"Yeah, or I'd end up like you, grumpy and alone."

Vax spines flared out indignantly. "Grumpy and alone? I'll have you know I've-"

"-had plenty of females scattered all across the world?" The gryphon clicked his beak disparagingly. "Come now, Vax. You'll have to do better than that."

The dragon's eyes glinted in the dark, his lip curling up with amusement. "Hmph. Perhaps you know me better than I thought."

"Of course I do. Now tell me why you're here." Jak demanded. "It takes a lot to rouse you these days. What are you doing this far out from your territory?"

"I wanted to speak with you," the dragon said. "That's all."

The gryphon's eyes narrowed. "Speak with me? About what? Last time I remember you wanted some time alone. What's the matter? Had a change of heart?"

"You could say that, yes."

"Out with it then!" the bird snapped. "I haven't got all night."

The old dragon smiled endearingly. "Tsk tsk. That's no way to treat your favorite guest, Jak. Now, I know we've had our differences in the past, but I thought I raised you better than that."

"I was napping." the bird said. "You woke me up."

"It wouldn't be the first time." Vax rumbled, thinking about the day they first met. "Nor the last, I daresay. Besides, can't an old dragon come visit his dearest friend? We've been through so much together, surely you can spare the time ... for me?" he implored, his voice dripping with false sincerity.

The bird rolled his eyes. "Oh get on with it."

Vax toured the cave, leisurely inspecting a small pile of neatly stacked rocks. He flicked the top-most one with his claw, and the whole thing came tumbling down.

"I came to talk to you about ... us." he began slowly, carefully, measuring the gryphon's response. "And our ... relationship."

The bird raised an eye-brow. "And?"

Vax took a deep breath, preparing what he was about to say. "After you and I met, I realized something." he began in a low, gravely voice, dense brow-ridge furrowed in deep thought. "I realized I'd spent my entire life following a strict code, a personal standard, if you will, that I'd come to expect of both myself, and those that served beneath me."

Jak scrunched his face up. "Served beneath you?"

"Yes. I thought being a dragon meant I was to be feared by my enemies! Revered, and respected, even ... to those that I called my friend, but after all who'd sought to challenge my claim were defeated ... after I'd spread my seed far and wide ... and traveled to the furthest reaches of the known world ... I grew old, weary ... and complacent. Females were harder to come by. We dragons are not a numerous species - you know - and eventually, I had to travel months to catch the barest whiff of a young, fertile, heat-soaked female. Then, they hardly came by anymore, preferring the company of the younger, more energetic males of my species, males like you, I suppose." he said, with a hint of wistfulness in his voice. His gaze hardened. "It doesn't matter. I grew tired of chasing them. Days turned to months, months turned to years, and eventually, it became simply easier to eat and sleep and reminisce of better days." He snorted derisively, puffs of black smoke curling from his upturned nostrils. "A lazy, gluttonous end, and one devoid of meaning."

"So?" Jak inquired, perking his ears up and listening attentively. Vax was prone to rambling monologues, but he was eager to hear what the once proud, stoic dragon had to say.

Vax smiled a wide, unnerving sort of smile, flicking his broad tail back-and-forth. "I realized that it's all meaningless." he purred in a frighteningly calm tone. "When we mated, I thought about it for weeks after, how much I enjoyed you ... inside me." he admitted with a small blush. He shook his head. "I realized I shouldn't care what you smaller creatures think of me anymore. Such concerns are naturally beneath a dragon of my age and reputation. Surely you must understand."

Jak grinned. "Surely."

Oddly enough, Vax didn't cuff him for the smart remark, and instead, his crimson red eyes seemed to ignite with a fiery light Jak rarely saw these days. "Precisely!'' he exclaimed. "When you finished inside me that one time-" the old dragon closed his eyes as the obviously pleasant memory flit to the forefront of his mind. They opened once more, oceans of blood-red. "It awakened something deep inside me. Something new and unfamiliar, and I want more. Need more. Something only you can give me, gryphon."

Jak gave a roguish, cock-sure smirk and fluffed his feathers up, stretching his limbs out, and circling the dragon's large, bulky body, nuzzling up beneath a scaley front leg. Vax recoiled back from the resounding neck-dander that swirled about, hot blue flames licking from the gaps in his toothy maw. He stared down at the presumptuous male gryphon, scowling.

"I get it, Vax, you're lonely. You're just looking for someone to warm you up at night." the gryphon smiled, looking up and batting those long, dark eyelashes suggestively. "You dragons always make things so complicated. It's okay to admit you prefer males." he said, rubbing against the dragon's massive chest-plate. "I know I do."

Vax went stiff. "I don't .... prefer males ... he blustered hotly. "I just ...I just ..." he sighed after a moment's hesitation, snorting in half-amusement, half-contempt. "Fine. Perhaps you're right." he admitted plainly. "Perhaps I do prefer males after all this time."

Jak swished his tail. "Of course you do! We're made for each other, you and I. You're just finally starting to admit it."

"Hmm." Vax rumbled, pondering this. "It's true. I realize now I've been denying myself all this time. Denying my true feelings, for you." He looked up and exhaled, staring at the night sky for a few moments before looking back down, crimson eyes blazing in the dim gloom of the nest. "All this time my pride has forced me to portray a false image of myself." he explained gruffly, matter-of-factly. "One that does not represent who I truly am." The dragon frowned. "Such a betrayal of one's self goes against everything dragons uphold! To burden ourselves with such makeshift conundrums, it's blasphemous!"

"It is!" Jak agreed.

"This ... this ... how should I put it? Revelation-" he purred, rolling the word around on his tongue as if experimenting with an entirely new one. "-Made me realize a great many things. It made me realize I must put myself first above all else, and stop worrying about the thoughts and opinions of lesser creatures."

"Yeah!" Jak exclaimed, jumping up and down and wagging his hips encouragingly. "Who cares what they think!"

"-Creatures like you." he continued, black pupils narrowing to tiny slits. "Filthy, degenerate gryphons especially."

He stopped jumping up-and-down. "Oh."

"It made me realize that I should simply take what I want, with little regard for anyone other than myself, for I've lived a long and fruitful life, and have little regret ..."

Jak wilted. "But ... you already do that!" He blurted out.

Vax glared at him. "Excuse me?"

"You already do whatever you want!"

"I do not!"

Jak paused for a second to make sure his old friend wasn't joking, then burst out laughing, collapsing and rolling around on the ground at his feet.

Vax frowned, his snout wrinkling up in minor annoyance. He hadn't expected that sort of reaction. "What's so amusing?"

"You!" the fluffy gryphon cracked up, panting and struggling to catch his breath. "You already eat half the forest on your best day. Nobody ever bothers you! They're terrified! When was the last time you ever thought about anyone other than yourself, Vax?"

"A snide remark coming from you." he grumbled in response. "I think about others." he rumbled more softly this time. "On occasion."

"Yeah. When you're hungry, or horny."

"Yes. And I'm finding myself incredibly famished now that you mention it." Vax growled, giving his chops a long, threatening lick.

"Come now." Jak tutted, getting to his feet. "Think of the hatchlings. What would they do if they came home to find you hunched over with my feathers sticking out between your bloody teeth? They'd be traumatized."

"Perhaps I should eat them too, then."

"You could ... or we could do what we always do and eat each other." the gryphon suggested, trailing down the length of his long, smooth, muscular body. His head butted up underneath his chest again. "Come on, Vax. I know why you're really here. Turn around and lift your tail for me. I could go fast if you want ... or slow ... I know you like it slow sometimes."

Vax blushed furiously. "We haven't even finished our conversation! You ... you still don't know what I'm here for! What I ... what I plan to do ..." he added begrudgingly, hating himself more-and-more with each passing second.

"You're right." the gryphon admitted, oblivious. "And I'll be honest, Vax, I don't care. I've always liked you, old, grumpy and smelly as you are. You eat too much, sleep too much, and you mark your territory everywhere. Like that one time you lifted your leg up and-"

"-Hmph." Vax grunted. "Well, I only did that because you wouldn't stop-"

"-Bothering you, I know. The fact of the matter is; you worry too much! You get all worked up over the smallest things sometimes. You just need to loosen up and relax, that's all."

Vax pondered this for a moment. "Perhaps you're right. Perhaps I do get carried away by my own thoughts sometimes."

A lecherous grin suddenly spread across Jak's beak. "Besides, I kind of liked it when you did that, too."

Vax's eyes widened, before he shook his head in half-disgust, half-admiration, forgetting himself for a moment. "You're a vile little creature, have I ever told you that?"

"Yes." Jak smiled. "That's why you like me, isn't it?"

"In this particular instance, you are correct."

Satisfied, Jak flopped down on a make-shift bed of soft furs in the center of the room and lifted a hind-leg up, patting a cozy-looking spot beside him. Vax grunted as he caught a whiff of the bird's arousing male scent.

"Come here then." Jak grinned, his fat, bright-red cock already pushing from its sheath and growing firmly erect. "We have some alone time. Come have a seat on my lap. I know you can't resist a big gryph like me."

It was true, Vax had to admit, as he found himself prowling over and straddling the smaller male's body. The gryphon's length was an impressive one, and it was rare that he could resist such a tempting invitation. Jak's cock was a sizable length of exotically curved gryphon-meat, complete with aggressive barbs and a gigantic knot that had stretched him wide on more than one occasion. He groaned as his ventral slit spread wide at the sight of it growing firmly erect, his own slimy length spilling out all over the gryphon's belly-fur in a winding mass of spongy black flesh. The gryphon grimaced in a mixture of surprise and fascination. If the bird was big, he was truly endowed, he thought with a lecherous grin. Nothing compared to the size of a fully-grown elder, and his smooth, midnight-black cock was proof of such fact, the semi-flaccid surface covered in bulging veins and crude bumps, designed for pleasuring both males and females alike. He licked his snout and grinned as it swelled with blood. He'd broken the gryphon upon its length dozens of times, but tonight, like so many others, he had other plans.

He lifted a massive hind-leg up and grabbed a fist-full of the gryphon's thick chest fur, mounting the smaller male's body and grinding back against his stiff cock, hiking his tail up.

"You make me want to eat you and fuck you at the same time." he growled in the bird's tufted ear, his tail curling around the gryphon's leg and snaking up it. "I've never quite understood such primitive impulses, and yet they exist, tormenting me endlessly."

Jak grinned. "I like you too, Vax."

The old dragon bared his gleaming fangs. "Then kiss me, you fool."

So they did. Vax leaned forward and opened his red, dripping maw, his red tongue unfurling as the gryphon opened his beak and did the same. Their faces met somewhere in the middle, and the kiss they shared was hot and messy, steam rising and saliva drooling everywhere before they broke apart with a loud, audible gasp.

By then, Vax's cock was fully erect, a huge, sizzling pole of rigid black flesh, the narrow tip drizzling scalding-hot pre-cum all over the gryphon's chest-tuft, pointing straight at the creature's cross-eyed face.

"Ow." Jak complained, swatting the male's titanic length aside only for it to return to its original position, bobbing steadily. "You always burn me when we do that."

"Hmm, I do so enjoy kissing you." Vax replied in his signature low, rumbling growl, the tip of his tail gently circling Jak's pink tailhole, making the gryphon clench on instinct. The growl deepened into a throaty purr, before spreading into a horrifying grin. "I must say, I enjoy riding your cock even more."

Jak shivered. He loved when Vax was in a mood like this. Behind the convincing exterior of a stoic elder-dragon was that of a horny beast in desperate need of some love and affection. Recently, the moody drake had finally come to terms with his strange dual nature and somehow managed to combine the two. The result was a savage, sex-hungry beast with zero reservations. He knew he'd be in for a ride tonight.

He made himself comfortable, leaning back and puffing himself up. "By all means, Vax. Go ahead and sit your fat, scaley ass down on my cock. I knew you couldn't go more than a few weeks without needing to see me, you big male hen."

The dragon's grin widened ear-to-ear, but it failed to reach the wrinkly corners of his eyes. A dragon's smile was a terrible thing to behold, full of sharp teeth and ill-will. His cock pulsed between his legs.

"Say that again, and I'll kiss you, except this time I'll breathe fire into your lungs and incinerate you in front of your hatchlings. Would you like that?" he asked sweetly.

Jak rolled his eyes. "At this point, it would almost be a relief." He leaned forward and draped his paws around the dragon's neck, pulling him close and kissing him on the lips.

Vax's crimson eyes widened, caught off-guard by the gryphon's boldness, but he went along with it all the same. Jak could feel the fire in the dragon's belly boil up into his maw, threatening to make good on his promise, but as fiery as their relationship was, he'd learned that Vax would never do anything to hurt him, or his family.

Hopefully.

This time, the embrace lasted twice as long, their tongues entwining around each other and sliding about like twisting, dueling snakes. Vax always got carried away when they made out, and soon, his smaller tongue was overpowered by the dragon's muscular organ, the hot, slimy appendage stretching his beak wide and sliding deep into the back of his throat, no doubt punishment for his jest, but an arousing one, nevertheless.

Vax withdrew when his vision began to tunnel, sliding out with a wet, noisy slurp. Jak doubled over when it sprung free, coughing up saliva and gasping for breath, his cock harder than ever.

"I ... I deserve that." he managed weakly.

Vax smiled another toothy sort of smile and patted the gryphon's fluffy chest-fur, his eyes glowing red with delight. "Yes. Yes you do, Jak. You deserve everything I do to you." His tail prodded the gryphon's sensitive tailhole, spreading the sweaty rim and making the bird squirm beneath him. "Although perhaps I should stick my tongue in some other places, I'm sure you'd like that, wouldn't you?"

Jak felt his cock give a twitch of excitement. Eating ass was something Vax had recently taken a particular fancy to with all the raunchy zeal a dragon could muster, rimming him for hours, sometimes even days when he was in a good mood. That long, flexible tongue could work wonders when left to its own devices, and there had been many sleepless nights where it had explored every inch of his quivering body.

"You know I can't refuse an offer like that." He replied eagerly. He frowned. Perhaps a bit too eagerly. He knew at once he'd fallen for the bait.

Vax eyes twinkled and the tail withdrew. "Tut tut! First things first! I said I wanted to ride your cock, and I will! You will fuck me Jak. And should I be satisfied with your performance, I may reward you with my tongue. Do we have an agreement?"

Jak sighed. Everything was always deals and bargains with dragons. Swindling was in their nature.

"Do I even have a choice?"

"Come now Jak. When have I ever given you a choice? You know I always get what I want. And what I want is your cock inside me. Now." The impatient dragon slapped his massive tail on the ground for emphasis, making the entire room quake.

Jak sighed again, playing along. "Fine. I'll fuck you. But let's make it quick. Before the little monsters get back."

The big dragon squirmed with delight, nearly crushing the gryphon's hips, but Jak knew a gigantic bruise was well-worth the knowledge that as much as the dragon had rubbed off on him during their countless years together, the opposite was equally true as well: He'd really turned the old, grouchy dragon into whatever monstrosity was in-front of him now.

With a puff of smoke and an all-too-excited shuffle of hips, Vax positioned himself over-top the gryphon's throbbing red rod and lowered himself down on it, his lip curling up as the hot, spade-shaped tip of the gryphon's barbed cock slowly spread his leathery anus wide, sinking inside.

"Yessss." he growled. "Yessssss." His fat tail lifted up as they both hissed with pleasure, Jak grabbing the dragon's meaty haunches and holding on tight as he gradually entered the horny beast's slick, steaming insides. His claws pricked Vax's scales as he sunk in, the young bird's eyes fluttering with pleasure at the sensation of his dragon daddy's meaty rump-hole spreading around his cock.

"G-g-gods, your hot tonight." Jak groaned, feeling the dragon's incredible warmth envelop him one inch-at-a-time. "I ... I can barely fit."

"I've been waiting for this." Vax panted heavily in his ear, his hot, sulfuric breath blowing all over his beak. "I've been waiting for you." He massaged the gryphon's shaft with powerful muscular contractions, gyrating his hips and earning another stifled groan from the splayed-out bird below, their bodies grinding together until the scent of male rut was overpowering in the moonlit cavern.

"I want you to fuck me, boy." Vax growled, pinning the gryphon down and giving him a slobbery lick from his chin, all the way up his beak. "I want you to fuck me like I'm your life-mate. Knot me, and fill me full of your thick, delicious seed, can you do that for me, my sweet little gryphon?" Jak's eyes were heavy-lidded with lust, but he managed a weak nod, groaning as the big dragon pushed down on his cock, squeezing around his length, and sliding down his rigid pole until he thought they'd push through the cavern floor itself.

He could hardly think how good all that hot, slick dragon-flesh felt moving around his cock. Vax was surprisingly tight for a dragon of his size, and spry, but tonight, his insides were soft, wet and impossibly warm, his sphincter muscles stretching around his cock like a supple leather vice that loosened with each consecutive thrust. Jak clenched his beak, spreading Vax's muscular haunches and shoving himself deep inside his confused, yet eager lover, pushing into his sea of boiling-hot guts and nearly cumming on the spot.

He knew he hit a particularly sensitive region when Vax threw his head back in a growl of pleasure, shuddering around his invading penis and venting excess steam from his back-scales and broad shoulders.

"Ahhh, that's it. Nice and slow, boy."

Vax growled as the gryphon penetrated him, the young bird sliding into his hungry depths until his bulging knot was sitting just outside the entrance of his body, the thick ball of engorged flesh stretching him to his limits. His groan turned into a lusty smile as he watched the gryphon twitch helplessly beneath him, his monstrous shaft bobbing and shooting a hot rope of sizzling pre-cum that splashed against the gryphon's chest-fur. He chuckled and smeared the sticky substance in, wiping his claws off disrespectfully in the young male's mane, and watching as the bird whimpered from the heat of it.

"I want you to drain your balls inside me until there's nothing left," he demanded. "I won't let you go until you do, understand?"

Jak nodded. "Y-yes Vax."

"Feels good doesn't it?" The beast smiled, smacking his hefty rump-cheek and watching it jiggle approvingly. "Buried deep in my fat ass?" His red eyes flashed dangerously. "So nice and warm and tight, yes? Just for you, my sweet-sweet Jak."

They shared another long, sloppy kiss, and this one nearly ended with Jak's entire face buried in the dragon's maw before Vax broke it off with a seductive growl, taking it upon himself to kindly wipe saliva from the gryphon's lower-beak.

"Now fuck me." he commanded, his red eyes blazing like twin suns and a smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Fuck me good, boy, and perhaps I'll reward you with my tongue." A dragon always kept its promises, but it also got what it wanted. And tonight, what he wanted more than anything was the gryphon's fat cock shoved inside him.

Pinned beneath the dragon's huge, sweaty, scaley posterior and seeing no alternative, Jak settled in and got comfortable, furrowing his brow and biting his tongue in concentration. The scent of male musk was completely intoxicating underneath the huge scaly beast, heady and masculine, a potent leathery stench that poured off the beast's shimmering scales in prickling waves of heat. Vax always stank, but tonight, pinned beneath his bulk, it was worse than usual, leathery and sulfuric, making his head spin, and yet still somehow comfortingly familiar. The beast always started out strong, but he knew if he performed well, he'd have the old dragon mewling like a new-born hatchling in no time. He smirked at the enticing thought.

Starting slow, he pulled back and worked his hips in a gentle circular motions, prodding the dragon's leathery anus and earning a stifled growl from the massive dragon sitting atop his lap. Vax's insides squished and steamed around his throbbing member as he pushed inside, getting accustomed to it. Jak groaned. It felt amazing buried inside the beast's hot bowels, and he spread Vax's rump with both paws, getting another heady whiff of the dragon's male scent, before drawing back and thrusting up into the creature's tight hole.

His cock split the dragon open, and Vax's eyes widened in surprise as his anus stretched wide around the gryphon's knot, his sphincter muscles puckering and sliding over it, before he tensed and managed to push it back out.

"Hmmm, nice try, whelp."

Jak grinned evilly. "You've taken my knot dozens of times before. You're good at it."

"You know I like it when you push it in slow. Imagine I'm your life-mate. Would you just jam it inside her?"

"If she was as annoying as you are, yes."

"She can't bite your head off like I can either."

"That's true." Jak admitted.

"You'll push it in slowly then, lovingly, and whisper sweet things in my ear as we mate all night." The dragon shivered at the thought. "I'd like that, wouldn't you?"

Jak rolled his eyes. "Fine. I'll push it in slow."

"Good!" Vax smiled. "Without it, your species would be rather mundane, I would think." The old dragon relaxed and sunk down on-top of the engorged ball of hot flesh, his cock drooling all over the gryphon's soft belly-fur as his tailhole stretched wide, taking it one inch at-a-time. "In fact, let's push it in together, shall we?"

Jak grunted in agreement. "Yes. Let's."

Without much time to prepare, he grabbed the dragon's fat haunches and held on tight, grimacing as the big beast slid down his shaft and managed to take half his knot, his anus slowly engulfing its generous circumference. Vax snarled, black smoke pouring from his nostrils as he adjusted his stance and hiked his tail up, spines bristling along his back as he tried to take it all at once.

"Having some trouble?" Jak teased innocently enough.

"Not at all." Vax rumbled through clenched teeth. "Just need to heat things up a bit, that's all."

The beast drew a huge breath, his belly expanding as he summoned fire in his gut and let it diffuse throughout his entire body. The cavern shimmered in waves around him. Jak watched in stunned disbelief as the dragon seemed to ignite before his very eyes, his scales glowing white hot and making the young gryph break out in an immediate, full-body sweat.

"Vax ... wait ... what are you doing?"

"I'm going to take your knot, boy." the dragon growled in a deep, thunderous voice, flames licking from his outstretched maw and surging from his eyes. "You watch."

It was so hot all of a sudden Jak almost cried out. Steam hissed from the tender seal of their bodies, sweat evaporating the moment it touched the rim of Vax's purple, puckered sphincter, sizzling away into nothingness and flexing around his girth. Inside the tight, muscular ring it was even hotter, a boiling volcano. Vax's insides were a surging, roiling mass that hugged every inch of his cock, massaging it and somehow managing to pull him deeper and deeper into that endless sea of steaming guts, until it felt like he could go no further.

"Almost ... hngh ... there." Vax growled, his eyes lit up and his tailhole stretching wider and wider. "Just a little ... bit ... hrrr ... further."

Just when Jak thought he was about to burst into flames, the dragon forced himself down on the remainder of his gigantic breeder-knot, his anus stretching absurdly wide, before sliding over it and clamping down, completing the tie at last.

Vax gasped out-loud, his pupils dilating. The gryphon's fat member pulsed deep inside his guts, now nauseatingly slick and deep. He groaned as a cool wet warmth began spreading inside him, giving a full-body shudder as his belly was filled full of thick, throbbing gryphon-cock, the sensation cooling his scales in a matter of seconds.

"Ahhhh, that's better." he said with a ferocious grin, his eyes returning to their normal reddish pallor. "I told you I could take your knot, whelp."

Jak groaned, feeling the immense weight of the dragon's soft insides shifting around his cock. Smoke and steam rose from his lap, and he could smell the scent of burning fur.

"Look ... look what you did to me!" he warbled mournfully. "How am I going to explain this to the hatchlings now?"

Vax chuckled. "You won't. I'll send them off to their mother. You'll be worshipping my ass by the time I'm done with you."

Jak groaned again, his penis throbbing inside the dragon's warm bowels, thin spurts of sticky pre-juice squirting from the tip and lubricating the beast's smooth anal-passage, turning it into a slick, slippery, canal perfect for breeding. His eyes fluttered as Vax squeezed around his length, the oversized dragon rocking back-and-forth and planting his immense obsidian claws on his chest, pinning him down and ruffling his thick fur. Jak whimpered as they started fucking in earnest, working up a steamy, sloppy rhythm as his cock penetrated the beast's wrinkled tailhole, the dragon bouncing on his lap like an over-excited hatchling, his dark ebony cock slapping against his tummy.

"Hmm, You like that, don't you, boy?" the dragon purred in his ear. Lucky little thing. I bet your mate doesn't treat you like I do."

Jak's only response was another quiet whimper. With all that flesh and steam and heat squishing around his member, it felt too good to say anything else.

"You like breeding the big bad dragon don't you?" Vax chuckled. "Come now. I want to hear you say it. Tell your dragon daddy how much you like it."

"I ... I ..." the moment he opened his beak to say "I love it," Vax pinned him down and kissed him roughly on the mouth, that long, slimy tongue plunging into the back of his maw and taking what was rightfully his.

"Mmmph." was all that came out instead.

"Hmph. That's what I thought." Vax replied when he pulled back, strings of saliva snapping messily apart. "You belong to me, boy, remember that."

The young gryphon nodded, his eyes rolling up as the fucking intensified. His grip on the Vax's waist faltered as the beast sped up and rode him wildly, their sweaty bodies grinding together until their point of union became a hot, sticky, churning mess of moisture, musk, and natural lubrication. He could feel the immense suction as Vax rose off his knot - never fully breaking the tie - before slamming back down and forcing it inside him with a lewd squelch, groaning with pleasure as the gryphon's cock pushed in deep.

"Hmm, that feels wonderful." he murmured more to himself than anything. "You'll make a fine sacrifice when I'm done with you."

Jak frowned. That couldn't be good. Something in Vax's tone made him realize he had to do something fast, or else the dragon would do something really, really stupid. It wasn't the first time the big beast got carried away, and there was no telling what could happen once Vax lost control of his impulses.

Using what felt like all his strength, he grabbed the base of Vax's heavy tail and yanked on it, using it to pull himself up. Right away, he knew that was a huge mistake. He nearly fainted as the hot, leathery whiff of dragon-ass hit him full-force. It was like a natural aphrodisiac, making his eyes flutter, and he felt his penis turn hard as rock as he breathed it in, the dragon's bowels clenching around his girth in powerful, undulating waves and milking his knot furiously. Vax growled in surprise as those penile barbs flared out and dug in deep, sending ripples of pleasure shooting up the old drake's spine as Jak's knot inflated, sealing them together.

"Hmm, what's this?" Vax asked. "Does the little bird think it can tame the dragon?" Vax smiled an easy sort of smile. "Ignorant boy. You have much to learn. Now we're stuck together."

The dragon's talons encircled Jak's throat, making the young bird's eyes bulge out as the large male lifted himself up, then forced himself down on that humongous knot, groaning as it stretched him open and slipped inside with another wet pop. Jak groaned in dismay. That was it. There was no escaping now. He felt another delicious spurt of warm pre-juice coat the dragon's intestines, the beast making a mental note to clean himself thoroughly once he was done, or better yet, have the gryphon do it for him. He couldn't have himself smelling like bird. It was unbecoming for a dragon to suffer such indignities! The bird on the other hand, he thought with a twisted smile, deserved nothing less. It was his destiny to reek of dragon for years to come, as nature intended, of course.

Snaking his tail around the gryphon's soft, fuzzy thigh, he yanked his legs apart, the narrow tip finding its way into the bird's warm, snug little rectum before squirming inside it. That got the intended effect he was looking for; The gryph went tense as he was completely violated by the older male, his shining bright blue eyes snapping open in shock.

"V-Vax!"

"Sensitive little thing, aren't we?" the dragon purred in the his ear. "I know it pales in comparison to the real thing, but it will make you cum all the same."

Jak moaned as the dragon's tail slid inside him. The beast had such control over it, that sometimes it felt like it had a mind of it's own, poking, prodding, and gauging his reaction, before greedily pushing deeper until it felt like it was a simply a part of him. Eventually, it found something tender, pausing for a second, introspectively, before striking forward like a snake and curling around the fleshy little nub, rubbing all over it.

"Ah, what's this I've found?" the dragon smiled, constricting his tail and squeezing around it. "Could it be the place that you found in me? Shall we see who is more sensitive?"

Jak moaned, the stimulation of his prostate making him to squirt a huge load of pre into dragon's bowels, the creamy fluid trickling back out around his knot, before evaporating almost instantly from the immense heat of the beast's tailhole.

"I'm going to milk you dry, boy." Vax chuckled in his ear. You ready?"

He nodded weakly.

Vax's terrifying smile widened ear-to-ear, wrapping his muscular forelegs underneath Jak's armpits and crouching down, holding him close in a reverse mating-press. Jak felt his cock strain against the dragon's ass. Even if he tried with all his might, there's no way he could pull out now. He was far too aroused, and his swollen knot had plugged the dragon's rear-end tight. Vax squeezed around his girth, shifting his muscular hindquarters back-and-forth before settling down, his massive, sweaty belly rubbing against the bird's lean tummy, while his snout roved through his mane, breathing in his musty gryphon-scent.

"Mmm. Breed me, boy. I want you to fuck me good."

Arching his back, Vax necked the young bird as their bodies started slapping together. He could feel the gryphon's hips pumping obediently, Jak's cock sliding through his bowels as he forced himself down on that wonderful knot as far as possible, feeling the tip prod his boiling guts. His neck-spines flared out with immense pleasure at the sensation, venting a long and happy release of steam.

"Hmm, you like that?" the dragon teased, roving through his fur and squeezing around his turgid length. "I know I do. Can't you tell?"

The young gryphon nodded, surrendering himself to the delicious warmth of Vax's soft insides enveloping his member. There was nothing quite like it, better than any female, and he hugged the dragon's hips and thrust up to meet him, whimpering with lust as he plunged balls-deep into the beast's soft, welcoming tailhole.

Vax snarled and sunk down again, his tail curling up as he forced the knot even deeper, his prostate getting rewarded with another fresh bath of pre-cum. His own cock pulsed in tandem, shooting a watery rope straight across the gryphon's brow. Jak moaned as it sizzled and smoked, nuzzling Vax's broad chest and rubbing it off, before planting his paws back on the dragon's ample haunches and locking in place.

Vax rumbled with amusement. "So the whelp hasn't given up yet. That's good. You better hold on tight then, boy. I'm going to show you a good time."

Jak did as he was told and clung on to the dragon's arse for dear life, the big beast rising and falling and slamming into his lap until the wet sounds of their fornication echoed loudly in the tiny cavern. He opened his beak as the dragon sped up, but the large beast kissed him again before he could say a word, breathing smoke and fire into his mouth until he felt dizzy. Vax's long tongue slithered inside his maw, entwining around his own and slurping on it until it felt like he'd surely pass out from the intense, overwhelming heat.

The steamy kiss lasted for almost a minute, and the entire time Vax rode him hard, rocking his hips and spreading himself around that thick, bulbous knot. Jak moaned into him, breeding the dragon's ass and reveling in the sensation of his insides hugging around his slimy member, his penile barbs flared out and rubbing every pleasurable spot imaginable inside the older male, making him growl with delight.

"That's it, boy." Vax panted. "You're doing well. Very well. Breed me faster. Harder! I want to feel you to cum inside me."

So Jak went faster, and harder, thrusting into his lover's supple tailhole until his lap was a soaking mess of sweat and matted fur. Vax roared with pleasure as they bred, his gigantic erection slapping against his gut each time their hips collided, the flared tip drooling thick pre-cum all over Jak's belly-fur, pulsing grotesquely to the languid beat of his double-heart. Vax pulled him close, his fangs gleaming wet as his body grew-white hot and his sweat turned to steam, his hips moving up-and-down at a blindingly fast pace, slamming into Jak's lap knot-and-all.

"You like that ... unf ... don't you?" Vax crooned in his ear. "Such a good little ... hnng ... mate you are. I'll make sure to reward you well once we're ... grr ... done. Would you like that, my sweet little pet?"

Jak nibbled Vax's shoulder-plate and nodded, whimpering as the big beast sped up until the lewd, wet, slapping sounds of their vile mating increased tenfold. It felt like his knot was going to explode inside the dragon's clenching tailhole, the big beast growling with pleasure and riding him until his tongue lolled and his eyes were heavy with lust, pumping his hips into the beast's tailhole and fucking him as best he could.

"Yes!" the dragon growled. "Yes. Yes. Yes! That's it! Fill me up, boy. Breed me! Breed me like I'm one of your filthy gryphon hens!"

Jak closed his eyes. Vax had never talked so dirty before. He could feel the mounting pressure swelling rapidly in his loins, his knot inflated to such a ridiculous degree, he knew they'd be stuck together for hours, maybe even days if they kept this pace up. The poor hatchlings. How would he ever explain this? His penis throbbed inside the dragon's scorching muscular ring, and he could feel the dragon's heartbeat thumping all around it, powerful and slow, but impossibly sure, vibrating with each heavy breath. He had to admit, Vax really turned him on, and he was determined to make his dragon-daddy proud and pump his ancient bowels full of seed.

He buried his face in the Vax's broad chest, inhaling the beast's masculine stench and feeling it swell through his lungs, invigorating him.

"Oh Vaaaax." he groaned. "I'm ... I'm really close."

"Hmm." Vax chuckled, nuzzling against him. "I know."

They kissed again, grinding and mating and fucking until all Jak could hear was the wet plapping noises their hips made as they slapped together, the feeling of all that warm, wet dragon-flesh sliding wonderfully over his cock. He was about to cum harder than he ever had in his life, he knew, one leg slamming the ground as he rolled his hips and drilled the dragon's greasy pucker with all his strength, sinking his claws into the dragon's thick haunches and hammering into him.

The old beast's eyes rolled up in awe, his jaw agape, drooling and slavering everywhere as his cock rose to full attention at the battering his prostate was receiving. The gryphon always was full of surprises, and his growl turned into a snarl, then a roar as the pleasure crescendoed in his loins until he could hardly contain it. Flames burst from his maw and he barked with laughter at the absurdity of it all. Poor bird. He was going to make quite a mess.

On one harsh thrust, Jak thrust so deep he knew he hit the spot when the old dragon snapped his head back and pushed down on-top of him, his anus sinking slowly over the remainder of his knot until their bodies were pressed firmly together. He felt the contractions in his gut first- as he always did - deep and rhythmic, vibrating around the his shaft as the big beast shuddered and moaned and melted on-top of him, craning down to whisper in his ear:

"Cum for me, boy."

The tail jammed back inside him.

Jak's eyes widened and he squawked out-loud, his cock pulsing furiously inside the dragon's flexing tailhole. He gripped the beast's sides and held on tight, crying out as he twitched and ejaculated forcefully straight into the depths of the old dragon's bowels, filling Vax with thick ropes of warm, oozing gryphon-cum and breeding him at last.

Vax shuddered, feeling the creature's hot seed rush inside him. His tail curled up. It was the best feeling in the entire world. He clenched around the gryphon's massive breeder-knot, squirming and panting with immense pleasure as he was bred. He could the creature's orgasm push into his gut, filling a cold, empty void inside him. Were he a female of his own kind, he'd soon be heavy with a massive clutch of eggs - he knew - a delicious heat spreading inside his lower-belly, as a lusty smile spread across his snout, his gryphon pet dutifully filling him up, as always.

With each generous spurt, he felt the barbed tip rub and push up against his sensitive prostate, grinding against it, before unleashing another spurt that bathed the tender nub in a hot wave of pheromone-laced gryphon-cum, stimulating him to heights of pleasure he'd never thought possible.

He growled, his pupils narrowing to tiny pinpoints as a sudden clarity washed over him. This was it, he realized. Their gazes locked, his fevered red ones meeting Jak's exhausted blue. The gryphon seemed to realize the same thing he did: That this was his one weakness; a tender, private, ticklish spot hidden deep inside the deepest, darkest recess of his ancient body, a secret treasure, or a parting mockery left by the long forgotten gods, perhaps. It didn't matter. It felt good getting slammed by the gryphon's cock, and he wanted more. Much more.

The young bird moaned, his tongue lolling from his beak as he maintained just enough composure to sit up-right and not pass out, fucking the beast's sloppy tailhole with whatever strength he had left. He convulsed inside Vax's insides, cum squelching around his girth as the beast's sphincter muscles milked every inch of his lengthy shaft. Beads of sweat trickled down his temples as he tried to keep up with the myriad of powerful sensations rippling through him. He whimpered as the dragon leaned down and kissed him on the mouth.

"Good boy." Vax grunted, riding him non-stop, his sweltering insides eagerly welcoming each and every rope of Jak's voluminous load. Gryphon's were quite productive, and Vax was determined to milk every last drop from his avian lover. The scent of musk hung thick in the air around them, the stench of two males fucking, a hot, leathery male stench that lingered on Jak's fur and riled his nares with its deliciously rank heat, dragging his climax out.

From below, the gryphon swooned, whimpering as Vax sat down on his throbbing penis and gyrated his hips in a powerful series of muscular contractions, the drake's red eyes glazed with absolute pleasure. The beast's tailhole sunk down around the base of his swollen knot, their sticky bodies grinding together until their joining became a bubbling mess of musk and spent cum, Jak's penis throbbing inside the dragon's lower-belly.

"That's it." the beast snarled in his ear. "Breed me, boy. I want your eggs. All of them. Every last one."

Jak furrowed his brow, determined to not mess this up. He placed a gentle paw on the dragon's heavy gut, rolling his hips and groaning as he met the beast's frenzied arches with furious thrusts of his own, fucking Vax until the dragon arched his back and roared with ecstasy.

His penis throbbed, his chest heaved. Jak's knot inflated even more, sealing them together as he drenched the dragon's insides with fresh blasts of fertile gryphon-cum. More soon followed ... then more ... and more, until his eyes rolled up and he drained whatever was left in his empty, aching balls deep inside the dragon's cum-filled asshole, flooding Vax's bowels and marking the horny beast forever as his life-mate. He flopped back, completely spent.

The dragon came next.

Vax roared as his cock throbbed and erupted all over him, thick ropes of sperm-rich dragon-cum lancing from the tip and splattering all over the young bird's chest as the cavern seemed to ignite around them. The gryphon flinched with each violent spurt, opening his beak to catch a few rogue shots in his mouth. He was gargling and spluttering almost instantly.

When it was over, they both recovered in a panting, exhausted heap. Jak felt numb, his face, mane, and chest caked in a thick layer of smoking, off-white seed. He shook his sodden wings and let loose an airy whistle, thoroughly soaked. Vax's cock-tip oozed beads of white, still sizzling after such a powerful release. The big dragon craned down and gave his forehead a long, possessive lick, the young bird shuddering beneath him.

"Hmm. I was right about you. Such a good boy you are, Jak. So obedient and kind. You did well. Very well. You deserve something special, don't you?"

"Damn it ... Vax." he breathed. "I ... I hate it when you do that. Look ... look what you did to me. This'll .... this'll never wash out."

Vax smiled, gazing down at him with a blissfully satisfied look and ruffling the bird's cum-stained feathers. "I like it." he chuckled deeply. "It's a good look. Suits you."

"That was ... that was the best sex ... I think I've ... had ... in a while." the young bird admitted with a tired huff. "You were ... great."

"You should expect nothing less from a dragon." he rumbled in response, twirling a talon lazily through the gyphon's fluffy mane. "You performed ... adequately enough."

"I don't think this knot is ever coming out." Jak stated glumly, staring at the dragon's purple, puckered sphincter stretched wide around it. Beads of pearly-white seed trickled around the rim, dripping into his fur, but the majority remained tightly sealed behind that swollen barrier of hard flesh, trapped inside.

"Good." Vax smiled. "Because we're going to stay like this until I say-"

"Uncle ... uncle Vax?" twin voices echoed from across the room.

A rare thrill of fear raced up Vax's spine. It wasn't often he felt those anymore. He swiveled about, spotting Qe and Qi's curious heads poking around the corner, staring at them unblinkingly. He flashed them a dazzling grin, curling his tail and flexing his wings to shield at least some of the obscenity from view.

"Hatchlings!" he exclaimed. "You're back so soon!"

"What are you doing?" they asked in unison.

"Oh no." Jak cursed under his breath. "How are we going to explain this now?"

"Your father and I are merely ... playing." Vax explained quickly enough, as if being tied to their father's gigantic knot was an entirely normal, everyday affair. Truth be told, it was, he thought grimly to himself. "There is nothing to see here. Run along now hatchlings. We'll be finished shortly."

They cast each-other wickedly devious looks.

"You didn't tell us you're in love!" they squawked together.

Jak felt Vax's insides surge with heat at the comment. He groaned at the sensation.

"We are not ... in love!" Vax stammered back.

The young gryphons jumped into the room and started prancing around each-other, rolling and giggling and chattering like crazy. "Da' and Vax are in lo-ove! Da' and Vax are in lo-ove!"

Vax's neck spines bristled with annoyance. He opened his maw and blasted a hot breath of fire that splashed against the wall behind them, singing their arrogant little head-crests. The twins took the hint and disappeared as quickly as they'd shown up.

"That's it." Jak said flatly when they were gone. "That'll be the end of me."

"Nonsense." Vax simmered, patting the bird's now tangled chest-fur. "They would've found out sooner or later."

"They're going to tell Shiara. I know it. Those little monsters are always trying to get me in trouble. She'll never let me live this down."

"I think that will be the least of your concerns." Vax purred, tracing a talon leisurely around the gryphon's heart. "There is one last thing we must do."

Jak eyed him warily. "What's that?"

The dragons eyes glinted red. "I want you, Jak. I want to take you with me ... from here."

"Take me? Where?"

"To my realm."

"Miznaresh?" He'd heard the beast mention it before in their travels, never in great detail. A land of legends. Where the nights never ended and the black, ash-spewing mountains reached into the skies. A land of fire, terrifying beasts, and dragons. "Why would you want to take me there?" he asked curiously. "I thought only your kind was allowed to go."

"Correct. But only with someone they care for. A willing thrall."

Jak rolled his eyes. "And let me guess, I'm your willing thrall, right?"

"Yes." Vax looked away, his lower-lip trembling and his red eyes shining with uncertainty. Jak suddenly felt a strange tingle of fear course up his spine.

"But ... I ... I don't know anymore ..."

"Don't know what?"

"If I'll have the strength to do what must be done."

"And what's that?" Jak asked, almost dreading the answer.

Vax took a deep breath and sighed, looking him dead in the eye. "When a dragon reaches a certain age, they must pass into the realm. Once there, they live forever, but something must be sacrificed in return, something dear to them."

Jak blinked, suddenly feeling very cold. "Oh."

"Yes. Oh."

The gryphon waited a bit before speaking up, distinctly aware of the dragon's obsidian claws right above his heart.

"I suppose I'm that something," he gulped, bracing for the answer.

"Yes. You are. Unless ..." Vax cast a glance over his shoulder at the entrance of the cave, disgusted with himself for even giving existence to the pitiful thought.

It was as if time had frozen still. "No ..." Jak croaked. "You ... you can't. Not them."

Vax claws sunk into his fur. "I have to! There's no choice!" His talons pressed into the warm skin underneath Perhaps long ago it would've been easier, but now he was old, weak, and filled with confusing emotions that made him soft. Mount Balthan could wait. He'd perform the ritual here. Now. While there was still time. The alternative was practically unthinkable, and Jak knew it too. He could feel the gryphon's heartbeat pumping in his chest, fast and strong, and for a second, he thought it would jump fourth and leap straight into his open clutches.

"You don't have to do this, you know." Jak pleaded, squirming with unease. "Surely there must be another way!"

"I'm sorry, Jak. There isn't."

Jak closed his eyes, taking a deep breath before opening them once more, their sapphire-blue depths sharp and piercing, filled with a ragged determination Vax had never seen before. Now he felt scared.

"If you're going to do it, then take me." Jak breathed. The words came effortlessly, and by his own volition. "-But make it quick, and swear to me they'll never find out."

Vax's spines shrunk back against his head, his own gaze filled with a mixture of fear and admiration. "You'd do this ... for me?"

Jak nodded, swallowing, closing his eyes and baring his neck to his old friend.

Vax hesitated, then gave a solemn bow, his own eyes becoming dark and distant, shadowed. "Then I swear it, by the elder-gods of my world, no harm shall ever come to them." He bared his teeth, his claws pressing into the gryphon's beating chest. He could feel it fluttering, filled with hot life that would soon revitalize his aging body. His claws sunk deeper, parting fur, but his talons trembled, unsteady.

"Goodbye Jak." he managed, his voice breaking with emotion. "You were a good friend, and a true love."

The gryphon didn't answer. He'd quietly accepted his fate.

He'd do it now, Vax told himself. Now. But he never did. Seconds trickled by, seconds into minutes, until it felt like the world around them had ground to a screeching halt, frozen in time.

After a while, Jak cracked an eye open and peeked up at him. "Well? he asked. "What are you waiting for?"

Vax steeled his resolve, readying for the final plunge, waiting for the right moment ... waiting for the sign ...

But he couldn't do it, and it never came.

He sagged, his claws going limp and his inner-fire extinguishing all at once.

"I ... I can't do it." he said.

For some reason, it felt good saying the words, like an impossible weight was lifted off his shoulders. He wasn't upset with himself for his failure, and in-fact, felt an odd measure of comfort for some reason. Relief. His claws left the gryphon's chest-fur, ruffling it apologetically.

Jak opened his other eye and blinked, whistling a soft tune. "Phew. For a second there, you had me worried Vax. I wasn't sure if you were gonna do it!"

Vax looked down at him in confusion. "Wha- ... what are you babbling about?"

"C'mon Vax." the gryphon chided. "You and I both know there's no chance you'd hurt me, or the hatchlings. Although they do need to be taught some manners ..." he added poignantly.

"But ... but I almost sacrificed you!" Vax exclaimed out-loud, suddenly furious. "I almost sacrificed ... them! You ... You could've gotten yourself killed!"

"Death would almost be preferable compared to what Shiara will do to me when she gets back. You ended my life already, Vax. You know that."

"Grrr. You test my patience. One of these days you'll push your luck too far, boy."

"Maybe." Jak grinned. "But not today."

Vax buried his head in his claws. "You've ruined me, you know. I'll be the first dragon in ten-thousand years to remain behind in this world. I'll be a disgrace. Seduced by gryphons!"

"I know!" Jak said with a triumphant smirk. "But look on the bright side, now you get to spend the rest of your life with me!"

"I don't know if that's a blessing, or a curse."

"A blessing, surely."

Vax grunted with amusement. "Hmph. If you say so. I must admit, there is a certain appeal in turning away from such power." He flexed his long, jagged wings and tensed his muscles. "I feel ... stronger somehow. Younger for the first time in years ... Perhaps there is truth in what you say, gryphon. Perhaps there is strength in admitting weakness."

"I don't know about that." the gryphon tittered with glee. "I just like the feeling of your fat ass squeezing around my knot!"

Vax re-ignited, his scales glowing red-hot and his eyes blazing red. "Then kiss me, you damned fool, and we shall speak of this no more."

So they kissed again, making out with each-other in the spacious cavern and completely oblivious to the twin pair of small eyes watching them from the shadows in the ceiling.

"What's wrong with them?" Qi whispered nervously.

Qe shrugged. "Dunno. Maybe they're mad with each other."

When they were done, Vax pulled back, wiping his snout clean. It was true, Jak had to admit. Vax did look younger for some reason, his scales shining and bright, as opposed to their usual dull palor, and his eyes were filled with that strange, fiery light he'd noticed earlier, reignited.

"I guess I should probably get up now." the large dragon muttered, unable to hide the disappointment in his voice. "It was fun while it lasted."

Jak nodded and braced himself. The dragon's weight had put his legs to sleep. The beast's quads tensed as he pushed down hard, his talons digging into the cavern floor as he raised himself off the gryphon's knot, gritting his teeth with strain as it tugged against his anal ring.

"Vax! B-be careful!"

"Hold ... hnng ... on." the beast growled. "Almost ... there."

Jak flinched as his knot stretched the dragon's tailhole to an obscene degree, before slipping out with a loud, wet, audible plop.

He groaned as his cock sprung free from the dragon's ass, a veritable gush of thick, goopy semen following suite. Vax's ruined tailhole gaped significantly, drooling pearly-white cum all over the splayed-out bird below. The young gryph practically fainted at the sight. He'd well and truly filled the great beast up.

"Oh gods above." Jak whimpered, watching it all drip out around the dark rim of Vax's stretched anus. "What an absolute mess."

Vax snorted derisively. "Normally I'd get you to clean this up, boy. But I think this time I'll keep it inside me." He clenched his tailhole shut as best he could, trapping all that delicious goopy heat up there right where it belonged. It felt good being plugged full of the creature's warm seed, like he was whole again. Complete. _'More kindling for the fire,' _he thought with a disturbed, inward smile. Some of the gryphon's hot cum still oozed out, and it would be a while before his sphincter muscles returned to their normal, wrinkly elasticity.

Jak watched with minor interest as his cock shrunk back inside his sheath, his aching balls completely drained of life-giving sperm. He positively reeked of dragon's hot musk, but it was a good scent and one he'd come to enjoy.

"So. What now?" he asked, lying back, relaxing, and ruffling his feathers. "That was a lot of fun, minus you threatening my children and almost tearing my heart out."

Vax's eyes flashed dangerously. He leaned down and started instinctively preening the gryphon's messy plumage, licking each individual shaft clean. "I guess you're probably expecting some sort of reward, correct?"

Jak nodded, flinching as the dragon's long, slimy tongue dragged across his face.

Vax had to laugh. "Even after everything I put you through, you still want more. Greedy little bird."

"What can I say?" Jak grinned. "We're in love, remember?"

"Hmph. I guess we are ... in love." Vax replied. The words sounded foreign on his tongue, alien, but he couldn't deny the truth in them any longer. He dismounted the gryphon's lap, leaning down and nosing through his slimy sheath and balls, admiring the bird's exotic scent.

"Hmm. You smell good for once." he purred. "Like me."

"And you smell like me." Jak fired back.

Vax chuckled. "I guess so. Maybe that's not such a bad thing after all."

Satisfied, Jak spread his wings out and lifted his tail up, exposing his tight, reddish pucker, gazing at Vax with a devilish look. His pink tailhole winked with excitement, ready and waiting for the dragon's flexible tongue to squirm inside it.

"Time for desert, you naughty beast. Get your snout in there and start licking. We'll make a gryphon out of you yet."

Vax didn't even hesitate. His pupils dilated at the sight and he licked his lips, grabbing the gryphon's hind-legs and spreading them apart. He shoved his face underneath the gryphon's lovely tailfeathers, snuffling about inquisitively.

"My my, eager today, aren't you?"

"You know I can't resist a nice ass." Vax purred, his voice muffled against gryphon's feathery rump. He drew back and flared his nostrils out, giving the bird's taint a big sniff before shuddering with arousal. Jak smelled particularly arousing tonight. Full-bodied and reeking of youthful vim.

Before he could do anything more, the conniving gryphon grabbed his horns and pinned him there. Vax's eyes widened in surprise, but he didn't protest any more than that, his growls deepening by a few octaves as he hungrily drank in the gryphon's intoxicating male scent, feeling it tingle through his body.

"That's it." Jak crooned in his ear. "Breathe it in, Vax. Dig your tongue up there until I say otherwise, okay?"

Vax pupils bloomed and he unfurled the organ with a wet, syrupy, sloop, the slimy appendage running up the inside of Jak's thighs and tasting the bird's salty flavour. Jak held him there until the old dragon grunted with lust, pursing his lips and planting a loud, wet smooch right on the gryphon's anus. His eyes fluttered as the heady taste of the bird's ass spread across his palate. It drove him wild.

"Hmm yeah, that's it. Kiss it you old, dirty dragon." Jak smiled. "Lick my ass. Pretend it's your life-mate. Gods above you're a filthy lizard, have I ever told you that?"

Vax nodded, his eyes glazing over as he opened his maw and tilted his neck to the side, nipping at the gryphon's soft, greasy pucker, before wrapping his lips around it and sucking on it hard.

"Yuck." Qi scowled, safely hidden in an alcove above them. "What are they doing now?"

"Dunno." Qe answered beside him, fascinated at the scene unfolding below. "Looks kind of fun though. Maybe we should try it!"

"Later. For now, let's just keep watching."

Below them, Jak groaned as Vax enthusiastically ate him out, the big dragon nuzzling his balls and eagerly huffing his masculine scent. He watched the dragon's snout peel back until all Jak could see were row-after-row of razor-sharp fangs dripping inside his maw. Normally, the ferocious sight would terrify any creature, but not him. To Jak, the sight of the dragon between his legs was right where he belonged, and certainly all that he deserved, he thought with a crooked smile.

"That's it. Keep going." he cooed encouragingly, holding Vax's face down there as the old dragon kept slurping and licking away. He watched the drake's massive cock slide from its ventral slit, hardening in a few short seconds and covered in a thin sheen of lubricating slime. His own length stiffened a few seconds later. It didn't take much to get either of them going.

"Hmm, yeah. Just what I thought. This turns you on, huh Vax?" he teased. "I bet it does, you big filthy beast. This is what you really want, isn't it?"

The dragon nodded again, his claws sinking into Jak's fur and spreading his haunches further apart. He shoveled his face in there and started lapping at the gryphon's sweaty little tailhole, sticking his tongue against it, running it around the salty rim, before hungrily pushing inside. Jak's cock swelled with blood as the dragon went down on him. Gods above it felt divine, that slimy organ circling his pucker, lapping, licking and tickling it, before plunging inside with a wet schlick.

His eyes widened.

Vax had once told him that a dragon's tongue could stretch over a league in length, and that he'd once ripped out a foe's tongue in battle to prove it. He'd always wondered if the tale was true, but now, watching it undulate and push inside him in mesmerizing waves, he realized it was entirely possible. He whimpered as Vax slid inch-after-inch of that hot, slimy muscular organ inside his bowels, until the pressure of it pushing against his prostate caused him to squeeze his eyes shut and his insides to quiver.

His cock twitched, shooting a single rope of pearlescent white cum that arched several feet in the air. Vax shuddered as the gryphon's insides melted around his tongue, a delicious, musky flavour filling his senses as he stretched his maw wide and pushed his tongue so deep, all he could taste was the sour flavour of the bird's ass squeezing around his tongue. He tongue-fucked the gryphon's anus until his eyes rolled up and he was drunk on the creature's mind-numbing pheromones, the young male going limp as he collapsed into the soft bed of soft furs in a post-coital stupor, limbs and toes jerking uncontrollably.

Eventually, the shudders ceased, and the gryphon relaxed around that long, slippery appendage with a blissful sigh, allowing Vax to withdraw all at once. He whimpered as the slimy mass left his body, his shiny pink tailhole licked to a sparkling sheen, oozing saliva. Vax collapsed on-top of him with a happy sigh of his own, resting his chin on Jak's belly, and licking the bird's still-twitching shaft.

"Hmm, that was fun." he purred, batting his smoldering eyelashes suggestively. "We should do this again sometime, don't you think?" When he didn't get an answer, he looked up. The gryphon was already asleep.

"Hmph. Typical." he grunted.

Not long afterwards, he joined him as well.

***

Hours passed when he woke up in the cavern with a start.

The first thing he noticed was the heat: A stifling heat that surrounded him on all sides, making him feel cozy and warm. Normally, dragon's slept in volcanoes, or ventured south where it was warmer for the season, but even this temperature was comparable in some regard, and it made him feel exceedingly snug and lazy.

He lay there for a few minutes, listening to the whir of insects, the sound of the wind whistling through the trees, and the trickle of rainwater running down the mountain outside. The storm had let up for the most part, and it took his eyes a few seconds to adjust to the moonless gloom of the cavern. He could feel warm bodies pressed up against him on all sides, feathers, fur, talons, and beaks. Jak was to his left, sprawled out everywhere and snoring loudly as he usually did, one wing draped over-top of him instinctively, protectively. His snout curled and he flicked it off, looking to his right. The twins were nestled underneath one of his own leathery wing membranes, snuggled together. He grunted. No wonder it was so hot. He was surrounded on all sides by warm-blooded bundles of energy. Not that he was complaining.

His spines flared out. One of them was missing. The younger one. Qi.

He lifted his neck and looked around the room, spines flared. Nothing. He sniffed the air, turning his head towards the entrance of the cave. The wind whistled around the entrance, playing at the edges of his hearing. Something wasn't right. He tactfully extricated himself from the pile of sleeping gryphons and stood up, determined to find the missing whelp.

Wandering down the long, inclined tunnel towards the surface, Vax pondered the events of the evening. Jak had convinced to stay, and the moon that gave strength to his powers of blood sacrifice was now in wane. When it would return, he could not say, only that it had passed, and with it, his ability to return home. He felt no shame. Miznaresh was a lost, withering world. Dark, and forlorn, and without hope. Let them have it, he thought. It made no difference to him anymore.

He found the hatchling sitting near the entrance of the cave, staring out upon the morning glimmer of dawn washing across the dense, pine-covered valley below. The sun rose in the distance, the soft light breaking in rays across the mountainous horizon.

"Qi?" he asked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "What are you doing up?"

The little hatchling didn't move, but his ears twitched, his body swaying back-and-forth, as if in a daze.

He frowned. Something wasn't right.

He walked over, distinctly aware of the sinking feeling in his gut. He craned his neck and peered over the tiny gryphon's shoulder, afraid of what he'd see.

Qi's expression was blank. His eyes were white, rolled up. He was sleep-walking. Dreaming.

_ 'No,'_ he thought, a feeling of dread rising in his heart. 'Not again.'

He gently touched the gryphon's forehead and murmured something in his own tongue, a strange, forbidden language not meant for the common ears of this world. Deep and rhythmic, it was almost hypnotic in its cadence, smooth, baritone, and song-like. The gryphon's eyes fluttered, then opened, their youthful depths shining with fear.

"Qi?" he asked softly again. "What's wrong?"

The hatchling blinked. "I had a terrible dream." he sniffed, rubbing his runny, watery eyes. "Da' was gone. So was ma' and Qe. I was all alone in the cave, and there was something in there with me. Something big, with claws and fangs and big black eyes. I ... I thought it was you, but I couldn't tell." the male whimpered. "It didn't look like you up close. It was something different. Something scary."

Vax frowned. 'Dragon dreams,' _he thought. _'Not good.'

"It's okay, little one." he hushed soothingly, reaching out and taking the scared hatchling under his wing. The male hopped into his claws, curling into a small little ball and staring up at him with big, trusting innocent eyes. "I'm right here. Nothing can hurt you. 'I will make him forget.' Vax told himself. 'It is not too late.'

"Would you like to hear a story?" he asked tiny gryphonling.

Qi nodded, shivering.

So he told the hatchling a story, the same one he'd told his father long ago: A tale of gryphons and dragons in ages long since passed. He told of the wonderous places he'd seen, and those he hadn't. He told him of his life, his youth, and the others he'd met during his long travels. He told him stories of the sky, and the sea, and the wind and the stars, the sun, the moon, and the great beyond. He told and told, until when he finally glanced down, the tiny gryphon had fallen back asleep in his arms, tucked into a neat little ball. He smiled. 'All too easy.'

He carried the sleeping hatching back to his nest and tucked him carefully under Jak's wing along with his twin brother, staring down at the three dozing gryphons with something akin to love blossoming inside his cold, weary heart. They looked peaceful all snug close together, like they belonged. A family. Not him, he frowned. All he was good for was frightening children and corrupting their dreams. He'd leave, if anything else but for their own safety. An outsider in a world that did not belong to his kind.

He was about to make his exit when a soft shuffling noise made him turn around. It seemed he wasn't as careful as he'd thought. Jak had woken up, the gryphon shaking his head and giving a lazy yawn.

"Vax?" he grumbled, smacking his beak. "What are you doing up?"

"I'm leaving," he said quietly.

The bird perked up. "Leaving? Why?"

"Because I have no choice. The same thing that happened to you is happening to them." he whispered softly, nodding at the sleeping hatchlings. "Soon, all their dreams will be of dragons, and I will not have them suffer because of it."

Jak sighed and shook his head. "Vax, I thought we went over this already. It's not your fault they have dreams, remember? I turned out fine, even with all the strange visions you gave me. Besides, it's not like all of them were bad."

"Yes. But some are. Most."

"Perhaps." the male shrugged. "Perhaps not. It's not like you have any control over them. Besides, they aren't real. The dreams aren't who you are anymore."

"That's the problem. They still serve their purpose. The dreams bind others to my will. Slowly. Over time. Break their spirit until they no longer think for themselves. A dragon is born to dominate, mind, body, soul, it's in our blood. What if you haven't been yourself all this time? What if I changed you, and not for the better?"

"You did change me." Jak stated firmly. "But in a good way."

Vax felt a rush of pride at this, and yet, he still felt downcast for some reason. " How can you be certain?" He asked. "What if ... What if your feelings for me haven't been real this entire time? What if everything between us has been built on lies?"

Jak shrugged. "They feel real, and that's all that matters. Life wouldn't be the same without you, Vax, stubborn and brooding as you are. I'm glad we met. Truly, I am."

"But what if ... what if I hurt them?" he croaked,

Jak glanced at the sleeping fledgelings. "Qe and Qi? They like you too, Vax. They need you, just as much as I do. You're their uncle, after all. Besides, you tell them stories and are good at putting them to sleep." The bird gave him a sly look. "That's the main reason I keep you around these days, anyways."

For once in Vax's life, he felt a warm glow deep inside his heart, his lip curling up the tiniest amount. "I ... I think I needed to hear that." he gave a polite bow. "Thank you, Jak. You've taught me much about myself. I will be more mindful of this in the future."

"What can I say? You're part of the family now," the gryphon purred in his ear, draping a wing over his shoulder and pulling him in close. "So, I guess that means you're staying here with us, right?"

Vax smiled and nipped at his neck, heating up once more.

"Yes. I suppose I am."

The end!
