Fell Frost
Fell Frost
An arctic lupursyn or wolf-bear in blue-white chainmail rides a wooly rhino towards a castle of gray stone on a lonely mountain. The lupursyn is white furred with blue hair and eyes to match. His mount is also white furred as it traverses a snow covered road while more snow continues to fall.
There is a yawning chasm between the road and the castle with obelisks of ice flanking where a road might go if it were readily apparent where one would proceed to the stone fortress. The lupursyn takes out a war ax, an ax that has a massive blade and an extended handle so that he can put both hands on the weapon for a mighty swing but could wield it in just one of his mighty hands and one hands it he does now as he touches its blade, which has a bluish sheen to it, to each of the obelisks in turn. The obelisks pulse with an inner light as the snow storm starts to intensify but the snow clumps along the space of the chasm to create a temporary bridge from the road to the fort.
Snow leopards in the same chain mail armor as the lupursyn, but unlike him they wield Chinese halberds and are shorter at seven inches over five feet to his six inches over nine feet tall but they salute him as rides past them. Rabbits who are even smaller than the leopards at an even four inches run around the grounds with scrolls in their hands that the lupursyn has to struggle to avoid running over as he makes his way to the stables. An arctic fox meets him at the stable door.
"Greetings, Kodyax," The fox says pleasantly. "How long are you for this time?"
"I'm not sure myself.=," Kodyax says to the fox. "How have things been, Sven?"
"Quiet," Sven says with a sigh. "Not in a good way, as if we are being watched. But by whom? Who knows?"
"There are frost giants in the area," Kodyax states. "Have any of their scouts been sighted?"
"Giants have been seen in the area," Sven relates, "but we've managed to convince them to move on."
"In what numbers?" Kodyax asks.
"Solitary for the most part," Sven recounts, "But groups of four or five have been spotted. How big are the local clans?"
"Difficult to say," Kodyax admits, "Haggatha is trying to establish a stronghold and her clan is a hundred strong. Jarl Karlzenti only has fifty followers but is more aggressive, however this is only because he's not as distracted as Haggatha."
"Isn't Haggatha a spell caster?" Sven asks.
"Yeah, she's a witch and a malevolent one at that," Kodyax admits. "Do we have any spell tossers of our own on base at present?"
"A few," Sven says as he takes the rhino and leads him to a stall. "But those that are here don't want to stay."
"I'll want to talk to them," Kodyax says plainly as he walks towards the lodge area of the Castle.
"Good luck," Sven says as he starts feeding the rhino.
Kodyax walks through a door connecting the stables to a mud room where the ranger takes off his boots and armor in exchange for a blue tunic with a white snowflake over his heart, on his sleeves and back with white trousers all made of loth as he enters the lodge unarmored and unarmed as well as bare of foot paw. Seated before a roaring fire are other furs of this order to which the wolf-bear apparently belongs. A snow leopardess in a blue kimono with the white snowflake serving as the mons of the garment waves to the lupursyn as he walks in.
"Good day, Kodyax," the lady leopard says coyly, "How are you faring?"
"Well enough, I suppose, Yuriko," Kodyax answers non-chalantly. "Has there been many problems preceding my arrival?"
"Nothing the guards haven't been able to handle," a bull moose states firmly. "But none the less, I for one am glad you've arrived, Kody. The Order of Winter's Sentinels is better informed and certainly stronger by having a ranger like yourself as a member."
"Thank you, Lord Erik the Brown," Kodyax says with great respect. "Who has been more belligerent if I may inquire: Haggatha or Karlzenti?"
"And not Vinegaar?" Erik jokes. "He's been a pain in the tail as well lately."
"I'll add 'him' to my list," Kodyax says. "But with that one we're not sure of the gender much less the agenda."
"Which is one or the reasons were summoned," Yuriko says with a formal smile. "Haggatha we know is female and trucks with dark powers. Karlzenti is a nomad; a wandering monster threatening any unfortunates that have the ill fortune sees fit to set their path before him. Vinegaar is an unknown as far as his agenda goes if it is even male."
"I only know what I do from what I can decipher from some of Haggatha's scrolls that I've managed to intercept," Kodyax reports. "And before you ask she knows very little herself if the missives are clarification requests. I make my conversions and then put them back."
"I wonder if Vinegaar is a frost giant at all?" Erik conjectures.
"Haggatha would not be as respecting of him like she is if he were not," Kody says as a reminder, "but that brings up another question of whether or not he is still among the living."
"I do hope you we not suggesting what I think you are suggesting, Kody," Yuri growls. "Necromancy is something we won't suffer."
"Then we should be making a concerted effort to find out what Vinegaar is," Kodyax retorts, "From what I can conjecture and observe he's probably either a ghost or a lich."
"What makes you say that?" Erik asks.
"I have only a vague idea where it lairs," Kodyax relates, "which is the Tundra of Tears, by the way, where nothing that lives can survives, at least not without regularly importing food and water from elsewhere. The snow is made of toxic water and only the mobile dead travel its fields."
"That's where the bone rose blooms does it not?" Yuriko asks. "Haggatha is demanding we get her one or she promises to mine our home for her castle."
"Only the dead may carry a bone rose safely," Kodyax states. "Otherwise it feeds on the life force of its bearer."
"It's been tried, Yuriko," Erik says grimly. "Kody was just an apprentice then. His father died on that mission."
"But not in vain," Kody says grimly, "I remember what we learned and will teach that lesson again and again to make sure it says learned."
"Here! Here!" Erik and Yuriko say as one; raising their horns of mead in salute to emphasize their agreement.
Kodyax bows to the pair and takes a seat in a chair whose frame is made of mammoth bone and whose upholstery is made of mammoth wool. A doe hare brings him a horn of mead and a bowl of stew. She winks to the lupursyn as she sashays to attend to her other duties.
Yuriko gives the hare Lorelei an icy glare as she knows exactly what the wink promised as a macaque joins them. Sato is an old friend of Yuriko's and is her retainer in many ways. He does not approve of his lady's dalliance with "lesser" mammals although Sato has enough respect for Kodyax as a warrior druid to say things in his presence of the noble lady.
The red faced monkey samurai came into remind his charge that she needs to send a report scroll home. Yuriko then realizes that she hasn't even started said scroll and excuses herself to do just that. Erik sees white bunny ears and smirks to himself as he knows to whom they belong and why she's hiding.
Lorelei, the arctic hare serving wench, waits until Yuriko is good and gone before making her move. As a serving wench servicing member of the order is part of her duties but some members treat her better which makes her more enthusiastic. Kodyax is one as the wolf-bear is gentle with the rabbit when she offers herself and it is this respect he gives to her wishes that has earned her loyalty.
She scurries over to Kody's lap as he eats his stew, drinks his mead and goes over his own notes from the field, and buries her head in his groin. Both Erik and Kody ignore yet don't ignore her as she pulls down the front of his pants so she can lick at his scrotum. Kody caresses her cheek to acknowledge her presence and appreciates her efforts.
Erik is tempted to have some fun with Lorelei when a doe reindeer walks in and crosses her arms as she gives him a look. Kodyax smirks as Olga gives her husband the evil eye. The moose sighs and shrugs his shoulders before letting his wife lead him to bed and leaves the rabbit and the wolf-bear all alone.
A huge ice spear crashes into the center of the room around the same time Lorelei is drinking her hot and salty milkshake which annoys Kody until it starts to unfold. The spear transforms into a scorpion that stands as high as his groin with its tail wavering in front of his face. Lorelei screams as best she can; taking Kody's dick out of her mouth before doing so.
Kodyax reacts rather than properly thinks and grabs the first weapon he sees, one of Sato's secondary armaments in the form of a tetsubo from his native lands. The weapon is only slightly smaller than the wolf-bear himself and is essentially a baseball bat on steroids with metal plates in an octagonal pattern around the business end that Kody uses to great effect. Sato and Yuriko watches Kodyax make a mighty swing that shatters the stinger.
"My tetsubo!" Sato exclaims before Yuri whaps him upside the head.
"Quit complaining!" Yuriko growls, then sees Kody crack claws with the weapon and looks askance of her retainer, "He swings that weapon better than you do."
"He does at that," Sato observes, "But he favors those oversized weapons Still I'd be willing to put a zanbato in his hands just to see how effectively he can use it."
"Not a bad idea," Yuri agrees. "I know he uses a war ax well I might be inclined to see it happen."
"Didn't we donate one to the order's arsenal?" Sato asks.
"Yes, but that's on the other side of the castle," Yuri says, "Besides you keep your daisho on you at all times."
"Yes, my lady," Sato says with a sigh, conceding the point.
Kodyax pounds the head of the ice scorpion until it shatters which starts a chain reaction that ultimately blows up in a negatively charged thermodynamic manner. The explosion as it is unleashes wave upon wave of bone chilling cold washes over both Kodyax and the room itself as frost rims the furnishings and kills the fire. It also triggers the release of a pre recorded message.
"You are in over your head, ranger. Do no interfere in things you cannot hope to understand. This was but the least of me servants as I serve greater and older powers. I, Vinegaar, will no have my great work disrupted by a mere beast."
"Please till me you hear that too, Yuri," Kodyax asks of Yuriko without looking back to confirm that she is behind him. "I know Erik will probably believe me but I'll fee; better knowing I was not the only witness."
"Loudly and clearly, Kody," Yuriko says as she hugs him from behind. "And if you are wrong about him being undead, this proves one thing: He is a very powerful spellcaster."
"Agreed," Kody says with a nod. "My apologies, Sato, I grabbed the first weapon I could find."
"Accepted, graciously," Sato says with a bow. "Your skill with the weapon actually exceeds my own."
"I am also more or less specialized in weapons like their," Kodyax admits. "But I have been taught that you need to put tour all into a fight in order to survive. For me that means bringing your full power to bear on the issue."
"A wise philosophy," Sato concedes, "There are samurai in my homeland that need to learn this very lesson but never will I'm afraid. Members of my own family in fact."
"Sato," Yuriko commands, "have the servants collect the shards for study."
"Interesting," a skunk in a leather lab coat says as he looks over some of the shards as Yuriko is giving her order. "Dark Magic to be sure, Lady Yuriko, would you mind if I studied these?"
"Please do, Quebec," Yuriko says with a smile. "You are among those in our order qualified to examine them. I wanted them gathered for you among other arcanist."
"You honor me, my lady," Quebec says with a bow. "I will need some materials from my laboratory. If you will excuse me..."
"Certainly, Quebec," Yuriko says before turning to Sato, "Disturb nothing but keep others out of here until he finishes taking what he needs."
"Yes, my lady," Sato concedes with a nod. "If any Sentinels come, what am I to tell them?"
"As much as you wish to reveal," Yuri states as she escorts Kody to her chambers. "If that folf witch inquires, Kodyax is with me tonight."
"Yes, my lady," Sato says with a heavy sigh.
Yuriko escorts Kodyax to her chambers as Lorelei glares of her as she knows exactly what Yuri wants with Kody. She is not alone in this as Aurora, the arctic folf witch of winter of the Sentinels is ready to make an ice sculpture out of Lorelei when the hare comes crying to the folf about this. Aurora and Lorelei are willing to share Kodyax even if Yuri wants the wolf-bear all to herself, but Aurora has recently given birth to a son which Kody fathered and she has been waiting to introduce her child to his father.
In her chamber Yuriko strips herself nude but bides Kodyax to remain clothed until she is naked so she can strip him. She guides his head to her rack as she undoes his front. When she bids him lay on the bed shirtless she lets her rump be presented to his muzzle for devouring as she takes down his pants to lick at his scrotum.
Kodyax presses his muzzle lips against the lips of her labia and parts them slightly with his tongue. He also sends a clawed finger to probe her tail hole which causes her to arch her back. Yuriko is annoyed a little as much as she is enjoying herself and smacks Kody's scrotum as a means of displaying her displeasure before realizing that slapping his balls will only encourage him.
The wolf-bear moans and suckles on her clitoris after her slap on his nut sack which elicits a loud moan from the snow leopardess as she does her best to encourage his cock to come out and play. The snow leopardess gets his phallus out and hard enough but not before her partner makes her cream with his own licking and suckling down below. This causes her to change goals and instead of drinking his sperm she suckles cock to get it firm enough to penetrate her folds.
When Yuriko has gotten Kodyax sufficiently hare she removes her slit from his mouth and after fiddling with the position a bit she impales herself along the length of his soft sword. She knows seeing boobs bouncing before his face drives the wolf-bear crazy and she giggles as she jiggles in front of him. Then Kody can't take the teasing anymore and reverses their position, an action to which Yuri makes no move to prevent.
Once he has her pinned Kodyax ramrods her pussy with his prick slowly and methodically without total egress on his part. Yuriko moans throughout his invasion and truth be told does not want his rod to leave her shaft; as she waits with baited breath for is other action to assault her senses. She doesn't have long to wait as he licks and suckles at her breasts and enjoys the taste of her tits.
Yuriko lays on the bed and lets Kodyax do as he pleases with her in both a gesture of trust and the fact that she knows him well enough that she does trust him not to hurt her intentionally Kodyax does not disappoint as he fills her pleasure long before he floods her womb with his seed. Eventually the inflation of his know is something Yuri eagerly anticipates as it means she will feel the warmth of his semen soon.
The fact that they are so different in species, with her a feline and he a canine in all but name, impregnation in nigh impossible. Lupursyn are a rare and dying race with only a few specimens left. He can breed with bears, wolves, foxes and other related creatures but he could sooner impregnate a smilodon than he would snow leopard.
Unbeknownst to most others, including and especially Sato, this is one of the main reasons Yuriko mates with Kodyax and why they have this "friends with benefits" relationship. Of course Kody has the same relationship with Lorelei but not so much with Aurora. Aurora is a little bit of a combined mage and priestess in the manner in with which she connect with Kodyax on a spiritual level as well as the physical; Kodyax contemplates this as he lays with Yuriko after he climaxes as the cat lays on his chest asleep, the folf creeps in carrying their son who, as of yet not opened his eyes.
"Is she asleep?" Aurora asks of Kodyax in hushed tones as her son suckles at her breasts for his supper.
"Just nodded off a few minutes ago," Kodyax whispers. "Beautiful pup, I would like to hold him when he's done eating."
:"Of course, Kody," Rory whispers with a smirk, "Beowulf is your son after all."
"I sired him?" Kody asks although he is sure he knows the answers as Aurora just nods with a knowing smile. "I apologize..."
"you didn't know and it anything I would like to give him a brother or a sister," Aurora says mumbling, "Personally I'd prefer it be a sister," under her breath but keeping a loving smile all the while, "I know you'll support your children."
"That goes without saying," Kodyax agrees and kisses Aurora on the forehead. The Yuri starts to stir. "We need to move this to my chambers. I don't feel like dealing with the drama if she wakes up."
"Eventually I'd like up to share chambers," Aurora prompts, "Us and others we can find that agree to our terms."
"Grabbing clothes now!" Lorelei excitedly whispers as she nabs his tunic and trousers before absconding with them. "I'll put these in your suite, Kody."
"May I safely assume," Kody growls to which Rory gives him a guilty grin, "You realize this does little to improve the reputation of bunnies and folfs right?"
"Let's just get out of here before Miss Kitty wakes up," Aurora whispers lowly.
Kodyax just smirks as he lets his folf lover lead him to the snow tunnels in the bottom of the crevasse the bridge traverses over many miles above. The snow tunnels are a network of passages designed as both an emergency escape route and an alternative and secret means into the castle proper. Sentinels like Kodyax live here to help defend the castle against monsters that might otherwise use the tunnels to gain entry to the stronghold.
Aurora likes the extra chilly atmosphere here and Beowulf just yawns and goes back to sleeping with his chin safely nestled in Momma's bosom. Kodyax looks askance of his own child as his sleeping spot is a place that he likes on Rory's body. Rory herself just smirks at her lover's annoyance although she looks askance of Lorelei when they enter the suite of rooms of densely packed snow and she wants a drink of Kody's semen before shuffling off.
Lorelei has duties of her own she needs to attend to but she has been waiting months for Kodyax to return and before he goes back to having casual sex with Sven or some other carnivore she likes she wants a turn on Kody's pole. In this she is in direct completion with Aurora and any other bitch and lady bear that comes through here regularly as it was determined long ago in the standards of the order that intimacy between members helps build familiarity and comfort ability between them. It's when formal mating couples gets established that friction forms but even then the openness of the order allows for quick conflict resolution.
But all is not well in the snow tunnels tonight for a pale skinned blob of eyes and mouths slithers and burrows its own secondary tunnels to surprise the unwitting for its fearful feast. A massive mammal like Kodyax is too big for any one of them to target but Lorelei is small enough for the thing to consider as on one such creature extends a dissolving pseudo pod as they walk past it. It touches Lorelei's bosom and then has to retreat when Kodyax releases her from its grasp and tries to pull it out of its warren.
Kodyax gets enough of a glimpse of its form to understand that it's probably what rangers like himself call a Wendigo Spawn after the cannibalistic godling Ithaqua sometimes referred to as the Wendigo King as certain kinds of insane yeti are called wendigo both because they imitate the darkly powerful being they worship to the point of actively seeking new victims to consume in their unholy ritual fasts. The spawn will have to be dealt with eventually but their presence represents a greater threat from the Cannibal cult that created them. It does not indicate the presence of debased yeti, however as Ithaqua's worship is not limited to them but exists among carnivores as well and Kody knows this all too well.
Aurora marks the monster with her own sigil, the outline of a fox's head with a snowflake inside which will allow Kodyax to track it easier later before tugging him to a dug out chamber that includes a hot spring pool for him to soak in. Her son makes hungry noises as she strips nude to enter the hot spring pool with him as Aurora responds to her child by holding her son to her breast for him to feed. Lorelei looks at the scene and decides to see if Sven is horny tonight as the family needs time together.
Kodyax has mixed feelings watching his son feed; mostly because of how much he likes to suckle tits when making love to a given female and the fact that his son is getting milk causes the adult male to drool a little as a part of him is actually quite jealous of his own child. Aurora smacks his shins with her tail as a playful remonstration as she knows exactly what is giving her pre-mate cause to stare like that at her chest. He kisses her and gropes her other breast and when he does so it earns him a mockingly exasperated smile from her.
Beowulf slumbers as his parents come together as they did when he was conceived and his mother Aurora had something she could boast about to her twin sister Freya besides still having all her limbs. Aurora licks and suckles at Kodyax's scrotum as particles snow fall to the floor. The snow dust increases as Aurora starts to get Kody hard.
Freya drops from the ceiling and levitates over to her sister just as she gets the wolf-bear hard enough to enter herself. With few differences, Aurora and Freya are carbon copies of each other and among those alterations is the fact that Freya is just a naked torso; her arms and legs were lost long ago to a frost giant who was butchering her alive for his lunch. Kodyax killed her would-be chef which earned the ranger the oracle's undying loyalty. She puts off her sister when the limbless on helps herself to wolf-bear prick.
Aurora burns internally with jealous rage for her sister who has used her amputee status to elicit sympathy from all around her. Kodyax bans Freya's box as he licks at Aurora's breasts, drawing some milk left over from his son's feeding. Freya just makes pleasure noises and smirks to her sister, she knows what she's doing and she is doing this to needle her sister as she knows how long Rory has been pining for Kody's cock.
A pair of snowy owls flies into the chamber through the open roof and perch on a stand made for them in the room hooting at the mammals. The female is Drift and the companion of Kodyax while the male is Borealis and is Aurora's familiar. They both hoot indignantly at Aurora as if implying she should be doing something too.
An idea hits Aurora as she picks up clumps of snow and begins to chat a spell with a smirk that worries Freya but not Kodyax who is busy fucking Freya. The snow drifts to Aurora's waist and becomes a strap-on harness complete with faux phallus. Freya is alarmed but Kodyax is amused as he winks to Aurora as she approaches.
Kodyax is now worried in the slightest as he's done this sort of play with Aurora before' Lorelei is very familiar with this game even if it is scaring Freya shitless. Freya is almost relieved when Aurora slips the ice dildo into Kody's tail hole but not quite as she shivers to think what that might feel like in her other aperture. Aurora gives her sister a look that tells her that she's next which causes her inner walls to clench Kody's cock which is more or less the reaction Aurora wanted to instill in her.
Freya whines in pleasure as Kodyax pounds her pussy while Aurora probes him for her own pleasure. Kody moans as he gets fucked by Rory while fucking Freya and Aurora is well aware of this as he gets the same reaction when she fucks him which he fucks Lorelei. In the months between Beowulf's birth and his father's arrival Aurora has had to amuse herself and forming this toy has been on of the ways she's passed those lonely nights while Freya offered fortunes told to any male who would fuck her with method and how his semen sprayed being the medium would use to make her predictions.
Whether she realized it or not more than a few of her fucking fortune telling sessions was the first time for client whose questions about prowess wasn't always about his skill at arms. But in ding this Freya gave many a warrior the confidence he needed in battle even if she never saw the male again. Freya silently prays her sister can get a turn on his cock soon enough when Kody finishes with her as she'd rather not be on the receiving end of Aurora's strap-on.
Kody's know forms as both a blessing and a curse for Freya as it means she might get pregnant herself as her sister did but it also means after his climax more than likely Rory will "take a turn" at her ass. After climaxing Kody is directed to Freya's head by Aurora as she plunges the icy dildo into the hole the wolf-bear just vacated. Freya smokes Kody's cock as a distraction for herself as Aurora takes her sister.
Freya has mixed feeling about the situation but as she cleans Kody's cock she goes into a trance and deep throats him as part of that trance. Once he sees her go into a trance Kody pulls his prick from her lips to make sure she doesn't choke on it. He breaks Aurora's ice dick and clears out a hole for him to fuck as Rory smirks at him.
"Stone and fire in the blood and skin of a great beast approaches," Freya intones in her trance. "A shadowy web of snow and ice spun by a spiritual spider is about to be revealed. The dead do not rest as one who refuses to go beyond is seeking a land of death triumphant. Doom comes for many as the balance returns to normal." The she groans and comes back to her normal stat. "Kody, fuck me again please."
"After what you just went through?" Aurora asks incredulously, "Go back to your temple, Sis, one vision a week is enough thank you."
"Kody fucking me had nothing to do with it and you know it!" Freya yells before getting slapped by Kodyax before he goes to attend his son who just woke up screaming.
"Hush, Beowulf, my son," Kodyax tells his child while rocking him back to sleep as lovingly as a father attends to the fears of his offspring.
"I...I'm going back to my temple," Freya stutters as she realizes that by having a puppy with him her sister has essentially won their contest to see who would "get" the wolf-bear as she fades from sight.
"I jut got him back to sleep," Kodyax growls, "I can spend time with her later but Freya is going to have to learn that when my son is nearby..."
"Hush, love," Aurora coos as she touches his muzzle, "She teleported back to her temple to lament. I still want a daughter with you."
"Let's put Beo someplace safe then," Kodyax states and Aurora chants again to make her son a crib of snow and ice.
Freya sits propped up before a mirror of ice and watches jealously as her sister makes sure her nephew will no awaken as she makes love to Kodyax. Aurora and Freya have been bitter rivals for as long as either can remembers. The fact that Freya is barren as well as limbless is a shameful secret only she knows as Freya fears that Kodyax would turn from her if he ever founds out and most of the other spell casters, most of whom just happen to be female, would only be too happy to tattle on her if it meant putting her out of the running from a turn on Kody's pole.
Unbeknownst to most, Lorelei is a secret spell caster of the bardic persuasion as few know that a skald as she claimed to be when interviewed to be staff at the lodge is a kind of barbarian bard and so far she has kept herself to singing epic poetry and not spell casting to keep that little talent hidden. She also is hiding her true allegiances. As Lorelei is also secretly an agent of Haggatha herself. The only other lodge member so far who has come close to discovering her true colors is Freya, an oversight the bunny is looking to correct now.
Creeping into the temple as stealthily as possible, Lorelei draws a sliver of ice that is just small and sturdy enough to be used as a dirk. Freya is distracted by her scrying as the hare draws near. Lorelei blinds Freya with her dagger so even if she were to questioned, Freya would not be able to Identify her killer as Lorelei prepares to slit Freya's throat. But before being silenced Freya let out a howl that shatters the ice mirror, wounding Lorelei and Freya both.
Lorelei is grumbling to herself as she crawls away to heal herself while leaving Freya to bleed out and die. However, the joke is on the hare as the mirror's shard went mostly into her as designed by the folf. Freya's wounds close when in her temple automatically as just one of the many perks of being an Oracle of Winter.
In the chamber she shares with Kodyax, Aurora wraps herself around him as best she can. The wolf-bear muzzle is at folf's bosom sucking her tits as his prick slides into and almost out of her cunt. She moans with his prick in her pussy and his tongue at her tits; enjoying the sensation quite a bit.
Her desire for a daughter makes his decision whether or not to pull out before the knot seals them together that much easier. Of course she can feel his knot forming about the same time he does and she gives him a look that tells him not to pull out in no uncertain terms. As a result of Aurora non-verbally making her wishes known, Kodyax allows his cock to get trapped in her slit by the inflation of his knot.
Aurora and Kodyax howl as one in sheer ecstasy as he ejaculates to flood her womb. Freya hears the howl reverberate in her temple and begins to weep as she knows al too well that this will grant her sister's wish for a daughter with him soon enough as the Gods have revealed to the oracle that the witch will be forever granted the fertility denied her. Yuriko hears the wolf cries and glowers at her empty bed as she knows that the bitch witch is enjoying the company of the male she wants for herself and does her best to cover her ears.
Lorelei is making a report to Haggatha when the folf and the lupursyn sing out their climax. Haggatha is not happy that Kodyax is breeding and has a new assignment for her agent: kill Kodyax, Aurora and their son. The bunny sighs and promises to do her best even if internally Lori isn't sure how she's going to accomplish this or even if she really wants to as she likes having sex with Kodyax.
The next morning Kodyax stands in a snow covered cavern open to the sky deep in the mountain range into which the citadel is built upon and into. A single feature dominates the ten foot square room: a table representing the entire area in miniature. Statues representing patrols and individuals move about the table by magic to give those in the room an idea of who is where.
Haggatha's castle is shown as being on the border of one of the high plains near the citadel itself and the Tundra of Tears with the Frozen Forest acting as a buffer between the two. Kodyax has hid out in the forest more times than he cares to rightly remember but it's one monster that draws his attention. Something resembling a stone turtle with volcanoes on its back is lumbering towards their castle and that's not good.
Kodyax recognizes the enchanted beast as a hellox which is actually an ankylosaurus infused with magic to thrive in the frozen North. From a distance and when at rest a hellox looks like a huge hill that features two to five volcanoes that constantly smolders as the thing's skin is the color of stone and just as resistant to harm. Its blood is lava and its belly is a hungry furnace that needs near constant feeding.
The real concern is that a hellox isn't all that picky about what it eats and castles like Sentinel Citadel with hundreds of residents sentient and non-sentient alike tends to attract it like flame attracts moths. If it isn't stopped it will tear down the walls and eat everyone and everything it finds. Fortunately for the citizens of the citadel, Kodyax is very familiar with them and especially knows how to kill them.
Aurora soon joins him with Freya strapped to her sister's back. A part of Kodyax is so tempted to make a Gemini joke it's not funny but he also knows better as the sisters barely get along enough to tolerate one another let alone work together even if they are twins. That realization hits Kody like a thunderbolt as he watches Aurora set Freya up at the table.
"Did the suns and moon reverse their orbits?" Kodyax queries in all seriousness. "I should think it would take a monumental catastrophe to get you two to work together like this."
"The triplets and the twins changing their marching order in the celestial pageant would be far more pleasant than the vision I have seen." Freya states then nods to the figurine representing the hellox: "Is that the fire beast?"
"It's called a hellox, Freya," Kody growls in correction, "But fire beast is an accurate description of it."
"It's heading for us," Freya says as a matter of fact.
"I don't need an Oracle to tell me that!" Kody snaps. "I've fought these things before and Aurora, I'll need your help."
"Does it have a purpose here in Everwinter?" Aurora asks. "What sort of help"
"I doubt it," Kodyax explains, "Hellox are born in the south lands where volcanoes smolder and rumble. Up her fiery mountains are rare and many of those that were active now slumber. In any case it eventually gets too warm for a hellox in the desert so they migrate north where the eternal cold and snow of our home keeps it from overheating. But here it can die more readily as the magic of ice and snow is more prevalent here and it is that flavor of magic that can most readily vanquish the enchanted beast."
"Winter Magic is my specialty," Aurora says with pride. "How soon till it gets here?"
"Too soon," Freya states in foreboding manner, "The map shows it farther away than it really is. Haggatha is speeding it towards us."
"Why am I not surprised?" Kodyax says with mocking laughter. "I do not make light of this Freya."
"There is a reason Kodyax is given as much authority as he has, sister," Aurora says to chide her sister. "My powers of wind and snow and ice are yours to command, Kody. What do you want from me?"
"Are you in a hurry to die, sister?" Freya asks acidly. "We need to flee! We cannot win this fight!"
"I have been at this longer than you have, Freya!" Kody growls indignantly. "I know how to handle these things. Rory, we're going to need liquid ice and lots of it both as a weapon and as a booster for your own abilities."
"I can freeze bomb?" Aurora asks with a look of pleading hope eyes.
"Against a hellox you can freeze bomb as much as you want," Kody says confidently, "Unless Haggatha's done something to it, the intense cold of a freeze bomb is what we want."
"I GET TO FREEZE BOMB!!!" Aurora screams with joy as she does the happy dance with exhilaration.
"Somebody's happy," Erik says with a smirk as he walks into the war room and looks to Kodyax. "What did you tell her?"
"We have a situation," Kodyax explains and nods to the table, "Where her favorites spell can be used with reckless abandon."
"A hellox is approaching!" Erik yells worriedly and then looks to Kody and Rory whom the witch is kissing. "Yeah, Rory, that is something you can freeze the nuts off of and nobody here will complain. And I take it you plan on letting our resident witch of winter play with the monster with every cold spell in her arsenal?"
"Yeah and despite what Madame Doom and Gloom over here wants to predict," Kody says and jerks a thumb to Freya who just sticks her tongue out at him, "I say we have a little over a week before it gets here."
"Something coming, Kody?" A pink and violet skunkette asks as she enters the room behind Quebec.
"Just the people I need to see!" Kodyax beams. "Quebec, I hope you and your sister, Versailles has been stocking up liquid ice like I asked."
"we just finished a big batch of it this morning actually," Quebes admits, "And I think we jut put another batch on after I examined those shards."
"What were your findings?" Aurora asks.
"Not vey conclusive, I'm afraid," Versailles admits as she hands Aurora a bag of the shards. "These will grant you greater power in your cold spells especially fighting enchantments."
"Thanks," Aurora says with a smile and then whispers in Versailles's ear: "Get a turn yet?"
"Not yet," Versailles whispers with a smirk, "But Quebec has had me busy in the workshop; you?"
"Yeah," Aurora says with the same smirk, "As has my sister, Lori and Yuri. Now Lori has an understanding with me as you do. My sister on the other paw..."
"Not mention how Yuri tries to keep him for herself," Verailles whispers with a giggle.
"Yeah, but with Yuri we got an unwitting all in Sato," Aurora whispers back which causes both of them to giggle.
"Something you ladies want to share?" Erik asks expectantly.
"Not really," Versailles says with faux innocence. "What's the plan, Kody?"
"A lot of this is for you, Aurora," Kody says and then turns to the table which responds to his plan by displaying what he proposes: " I want a series of ice walls on all the trails leading to the citadel. Make them thick and sturdy. The hellox will melt its way through though but it will take some time and we want to buy as much time as possible."
"I can make the walls so their will burst with cold when breached," Aurora says with a smirk, "It will get a layer of ice on Its shell that may slow it down even further."
"That'll work actually," Kodyax says thoughtfully, "It may even weaken it."
"That reminds me," Versailles adds as she scratches the underside of her chin in thought, "Quebec, those frost geyser mines we've been working on are almost ready for field testing aren't they?"
"This would be a prime time to test them," Quebec says in agreement. "We have a batch of two hundred now in we can make another tow to three hundred more if need be."
"Unless you need her to help," Kody asks, "Would you mind if I took Versailles and the two hundred now to mine the two main roads to the Citadel? And please make that extra three hundred; we could use them actually."
Quebec knows full well that Kodyax may not mean he wants quality time to fuck his sister but Versailles will take the opportunity none the less so he is not willing to impede his sibling's happiness. He does have to do his best to keep Lorelei busy fetching him supplies as a means of keeping her from the crystal communication center where she has been talking to someone who does not want to be recognized which alarms the alchemist. Everwinter has no centralized government other than the High Council that oversees the Sentinels of Winter, the order that maintains the Citadel complex Quebec is both working for and a proud member of along with Kodyax, his sister and the folf twins.
Haggatha wants to be Queen of the region and is the most ambitious frost giant leader in the area because of it. The Sentinels oppose her for the protection of all. While many have issues with the Sentinels given the chance choice of who they would want to keep everyone fed and the land somewhat peaceful the choice is clear among most who dwell here: The Sentinels and their High Council are the best choice as under Haggatha, the frost giants would have free reign to raid and consume all sentient life as they saw fit.
Versailles hitches a wagon to Kody's rhino filed with the mines she's been developing with her brother. Aurora makes the ice walls as agreed to and Versailles makes sure her mines are right where the hellox would stumble into them after getting blasted upon breeching the said walls. The two females grin and wink to one another as they get the traps for the approaching monster as they watch Kodyax for an opportunity to have some fun in the snow.
Snow goblins start setting up a teleportation circle large enough to allow the hellox to bypass Kody's defensive perimeter but the white skinned humanoid pests forget to keep quiet so the furry heroes won't hear them. The fact they thralls of one of the frost giants Jarls is obvious as the pint sized annoyances swore allegiances to Haggatha and Vinegaar log ago to ensure their survival Although to Kodyax right now it doesn't matter who they're working for, they're trying to set things up to destroy his home as he sneaks up on them with his ax close at hand.
Between his choice of attire and the fact he is well trained in stealth, Kodyax gets the jump on the trio of goblin workers. They never knew what hit them as the swing of the ax decapitates all three almost simultaneously. Versailles completes their work but to do the opposite of what it was intended to do which is teleport the hellox to the Tundra of Tears if it gets this far; Kodyax is chuckling when the destination is chosen.
"Alright, Kody, what's so funny?" Versailles asks of Kodyax.
"These were Vinegaar's goblins I just slaughtered," Kodyax explains, "You rigged that teleportation circle to send the hellox to the Tundra of Tears."
"I thought these were Haggatha's pets," Versailles says in a slightly confused manner. "Are you sure?"
"Haggatha has a similar mark," Kodyax states as he points to the tribal tattoos on the goblins featuring two curved lines that form a fancy letter "V" in their foreheads. "See how low the lines come together?"
"Yeah," Versailles admits. "Slight variation on the same brand. Maybe one was apprenticed to the other?"
"Possibly," Kody concedes, "But even then there would be more variation unless they were blood relatives as well."
"Quite possible that," A giant frost giant head says above them. "Haggatha will always be my little girl. Even after she murdered me in a failed bid for power. I still rule supreme."
"Vinegaar I presume?" Kodyax asks with Versailles cowering behind him.
"Quite correct, Kodyax," Vinegaar's ghostly head concedes, "Enjoying the show? I know I am. Sorry about your rhino..."
"What happened to..." Kodyax starts to ask.
"KODY!" Aurora's voice calls in the wind. "Blockbuster just got eaten."
"Charged the hellox did he?" Kodyax asks with a rueful sigh.
"Yeah," Aurora says as she pops out from the snow, "I had to cast a quick snow slide spell or I'd be next." Then the hellox materializes at the bottom of the hill she walled off. "How did that thing get here so fast?"
"That's an old trick Aurora," Vinegaar's head states smugly, "And soon it will be..." The hellox breathes fire to try and melt the ten foot wall blocking it from their location. "It has to use its breath? You did something to the circle didn't you?"
"You'll see if it gets up here," Kodyax says as they watch it assault the ice wall when it collapses and reforms with the hellox trapped inside. "Nice touch." He nuzzles the witch as the alchemist licks at his scrotum through his pants. "We'll see how effective your contribution is soon enough."
"What did you do?" Vinegaar demands to know.
"You'll find out soon enough," Versailles answered with a giggle.
The hellox bursts its way to freedom; angry but groggy.
"I didn't expect that," Vinegaar observes. "What else do you have..." Frost geysers erupt underneath the hellox that flip a few times before it collapses. "Did you have to be THAT brutal?"
"We killed it?" Aurora asks excitedly.
"It didn't get up to the teleportation circle?" Versailles asks with disappointment in her voice. "Wasn't tough as we thought."
"It's not dead yet," Vinegaar growls, then sighs, "Never send a goblin to do a giant's work. Ah, well, I'll know better for next time." With that the head just dissipates.
"Come on!" Kodyax commands and picks up a dead goblin before he starts running towards the hellox. "We may just get a pet out of this."
"ARE YOU CRAZY!!!" Aurora and Versailles yell in unison as Kodyax takes the goblin to the hellox.
"Sucker ate my rhino," Kodyax growls, "Bring the other two goblins for it to eat."
"He's serious?!" Versailles asks at full volume.
"He is," Aurora says with a smirk, "And considering the problems we've been having with goblins lately this actually makes an odd sort of sense." She grabs a dead goblin and follows him. "We're going to need to build a howdah for his back but this could work."
Versailles takes out a spear and impales the head and body of a goblin together to hold it in front of her as she pushes the corpse down the hill. Kodyax spends about a week or two after the fight training the monster to accept a howdah and riders but part of that period was carving a special chamber to house it so it's not tempted to eat what its not supposed to chomp on. The High Council meanwhile debates on what to do about the situation and the situation being debated it is how to deal with Vinegaar.
Erik has no trouble convincing the other council members that Kody and the other animal handlers can safely keep the hellox under control. In fact the hellox helps keep areas that need extra warm reliably heated while Kodyax is in house. Vinegaar however, is another story.
The realization than an undead frost giant Jarl is active nearby is very disturbing to the High Council, but the idea that he's a ghost provides extra problems and that fact that he is Haggatha's father is just more unpleasantness as icing on an already nasty cake. Haggatha is bad; Kodyax has been given the green light to kill her when the opportunity presents itself but how to put Vinegaar to rest? Kodyax makes the suggestion that the death of his daughter might play into it and in general is agreed to as the skunks are given the task of finding ways to contain or destroy Vinegaar's restless spirit.
A trip to the Lamentable Labyrinthine Library of Lost Lore is planed but before they go Versailles wants some quality time with Kodyax. The extra-dimensional library is both easy and hard to get into as there is a scheduling procedure to go through to get an appointment portal and Quebec is the one with the connections to acquire the proper audiences. This leaves Versailles free to frolic with the wolf-bear.
Versailles gets her chance when Kodyax goes for his weekly shower in the frozen falls on Ice Crystal Lake. The lake and falls are in a basin in the mountain range in which the citadel is constructed open to the sky and in a twilight state between frigid fluidity and solid ice via magic. Once past the ice door in the frozen front of the falls the water heats up considerably and makes for some good clean fun; usually.
Kodyax has his eyes closed as he washes his hair when he feels someone's mouth on his scrotum and someone's finger in his tail hole. He groans but does not open his eyes as he can guess who it might be as Lorelei is not allowed her, Yuriko is in Council, Freya has nod hands and her sister is attending their son and outside of pegging, Aurora has no interest in his tail hole. Versailles scrubs Kodyax's feet, forcing him to sit down so she can coax his phallus out to play.
It's only when she touches the ice wall behind her that the problems occur as the ice encapsulates her hand and forearm. She places a foot to brace herself and pull her hand out when it gets trapped up to her knees. Alarmed, she flails her other limbs and gets herself trapped spread eagle as Kodyax can finally open his eyes and his cock becomes fully erect and ready to use with his first sight being the helpless Versailles whose eyes plead with him to play with her or set her free.
Druids and other priests know how to extricate folks from the ice as do witches of winter and fortunately Kodyax is a ranger which is the same thing as a druidic warrior for the purposes of feeing someone and avoiding being trapped himself. But he wants a little fun first as he slowly but surely inserts himself into her body while helping himself to her tits. Versailles relaxes when Kodyax takes her as this is more or less what she wanted by coming out here, just not like this.
Versailles moans loudly as she feels the invasion of his member into her cunny. She is helpless to resist him, not that she would in any case and licks her lips between moans of pleasure. Kodyax is relentless in his sexual assault on her body as he knows this is what she came for and why she disturbed his bathing time.
Kodyax soon climaxes inside of Versailles as per her request and howls in ecstasy when he does so. Versailles clings to Kodyax after he frees her; using her feet to massage his scrotum and his spent member to get him hard again. She can do this as at six inches over five feet she is a full four feet shorter than the male she wants to ride.
She gets him hard when they get inside and into the medical center near the lake and he straps her down on a table used to examine those that have seemed to have lost their minds. Once she is secured Kodyax plugs his rejuvenated member into her waiting hole. Versailles squeals in delight as her brother walks in with a smirk to inform his sister that everything is in order for their trip when she's done playing with the ranger and once he's said his piece he cops a feel on her breasts before leaving.
Whether he intended to or not, Quebec more or less killed the mood as Versailles feels the need to have a talk with her brother. Kodyax sets her free and she quickly gets dressed and she goes storming off. Aurora and Beowulf join Kodyax soon after Versailles leaves and finds him in the shower again.
Near the showers are hot springs for proper baths and soaking which is where Aurora is headed to give Beowulf his first proper bath. Beowulf is having a little bit of a snack before his bath and his father joins his mother as something wonderful happens as Beowulf does something he has not done since he was born several months ago: he opens his eyes. Mother and Father are overjoyed at this as their son just smiles and makes happy baby noises.
Kodyax formally makes himself known to his child as the first sight the boy sees is that of his parents. Aurora bathes her son with Kodyax behind her fondling her tits and smiling to his son. Beowulf splashes about in the pool with his parents watching him closely.
