Belly Of the Beast
#1 of Tales of the No-one
Tales of the No-one - From Eden Belly of the Beast- part one Jessica ran as fast as she could, her breathing ragged as her blind flight took her crashing through the lush jungle undergrowth. The fine silks the girl wore were torn and splattered with mud from where she fell several times. Pausing and hugging a tree for its meagre protection the young human looked back, searching for signs of her pursuers, her mind racing as she tried to make sense of all that had happened to her in the past few months. Jessica use to be a normal teen girl, living with her parents and growing up in the United States of America, at least until the day a large storm rolled through. She had been on her way to work when the rain and the lightning started, she had flinched at a loud peel of thunder and a blinding flash of light before she crashed her car into something and had passed out. She awoke to a sight that defied explanation, her wrecked car was in an underground cave, and she had run into stalagmite the size of a small statue. Stumbling around in a dazed state she managed to find the exit and found herself staring at the jungles of Eden. Eden, well that's what the strange creatures that found her had called it. "Welcome to Eden." One had said, followed by the startling revelation she had become a slave to a group called the "Amazons". Which seemed to fit cause the most dominant of the group she was captured by all appeared to be warrior women. The second thing that surprised the girl was the fact they were anthomorphic, animals with human traits and characteristics. She had seen such things done as fantasy pictures on her computer through the internet and had laughed at the old "Bugs Bunny" cartoons, but now she stood in the presence of real live "furs", the same ones who slapped shackles on and enslaved her. Howls echoing through the trees brought her back to the here and now, the sounds of something crashing through the undergrowth told her those pursuing hadn't given up just yet. Ferals, her mistress had called them, escaped and exiled slaves cast aside into the wild to fend for themselves. Many forming packs to live and hunt together, often attacking the occasional trade caravans seeking food and at times females. Jessica shuddered as she tried not to think about what would happen if these creatures caught up with her, instead her heart skipped a beat as she burst into a small clearing and found herself staring at a gruesome sight. A large stone construct stood prominently in the open space, its features representing a hideous looking, angry face, wet blood appears to have been splashed over it, giving it a macabre and fearsome look. The shocked girl took a step back upon confronting such a sight but the sounds of pursuit caused her to quickly skirt around it and disappear into the bushes behind the statue. Moments later two large, wild looking males burst into the clearing, growling and panting heavily, their fur and tattered rags matted with mud and blood. The ferals angry look turning to one of fear when they catch sight of the grim stone figure. One looking to the other as they both yipped and hissed at the statue, to them it was one of warning, a warning that a great angry beast lay in wait for the unwary or stupid to intrude upon its territory. A third larger male lumbered into the clearing and stopped, almost surprised at seeing its brethren standing and hissing at the large blood splattered rock. His cold grey eyes narrowing in anger, their prize was close, he could still smell her fear in the air. Females were hard to come by unscathed as many would fight fiercely rather than be taken by the wild furs and yet there was an untouched one beyond this warning marker, waiting to be caught and claimed. Growling deeply the big canine loped past the other two, pushing them aside as he ignores the foreboding rock, sneering at it and his companions as they stood in shock at his actions, the two smaller males choosing not to follow their comrade in his pursuit of their prey. Jessica had managed to get some distance between them before tripping and falling face first into the mud, sighing she struggled to rise, almost crying as her mind raced. She needed to find somewhere to hide, a safe place away from those who chased her. Looking around quickly the girl stalled, the jungle looked all the same to her. The lush green trees and thick bushes seem to surround her cutting off any promise of escape. Her chest heaving the girl got to her feet only to have a large paw reach out to swipe at her, her reaction was to duck so the blow caught her on the side of her head. Jessica squeaked and fell back, her head thudding into a nearby tree root as the big feral appeared before her, a savage look of triumph on its face as it looked her over. Groaning the girl tied to squirm away but her vision was blurring and darkness began to close in, the blow to the back of her head was making her lose consciousness, her heart sinking as she realised she had been caught. Grinning in an evil way the feral stood over the girl; throwing his head back he gave a loud howl as his hunt had come to a successful end. He was so focussed on Jessica's limp body he failed to see something big rise up behind him, it wasn't until he felt razor sharp claws pierce his neck and throat that he knew something was behind him, the howl becoming a gurgling moan as a strong grip held him while his life slowly drained away until the ferals limp body was casually tossed aside. "Interesting." A deep voice rumbled as the figure moved to check the girl, it easily scooped her up and carried her off into the jungle while back at the statue the two reluctant ferals stood wide-eyed as their leaders howl became little more than a cry of death, both scampering away as quickly as they could. * * * Jessica's mind swam in a painful haze, the last thing she remembered before the world going dark was the wild looking canine feral grinning down at her. "So what is this ones story?" She heard a confident woman's voice ask, the young girl tried not to look up as she found herself kneeling on the dirt. The sun shone brightly as two ominous shadows fell over her. "Eh, she is hyooman. Too many cursed stories of them circulating for them to sell properly." Sneered another females voice, one Jessica recognised as the one who captured her. The girl wore what was left of her work uniform, the rest torn away by sharp claws to expose as much flesh as possible to tempt her sale. "They obviously do not belong here, weak, stringy specimens hardly worth the trouble to tame." "Really." The unknowns voice sounded interested. "So you will give me a discount for taking her off your paws then." It was more a statement than a question, one that dared the slave-mistress to argue, and she almost did before choking back her anger at her own stupidity. "Meh, if you do buy this "thing"," the word was spat out in distain. "I will allow you two others and give this one to you for no charge." Jessica sighed silently, not only was she in a world she didn't understand she had come to realise her kind was viewed with a large amount of suspicion. Why? She didn't know and due to the violent nature of some she had met she wasn't about to ask. A large white paw cupped her chin and titled her head up and the girl found herself looking face to face with a large white furred tigress wearing fine looking silks over her large ample breasts, her green eyes looking her over with some hidden interest as one inspecting livestock. Jessica noticed the tigress was huge and had well defined muscles, showing she was indeed a strong one, the felines long red hair was platted and hung over her shoulder. "Well child?" the tigress asked, not really expecting an answer while turning the girls head this way and that, the human blushing at the touches to her chest and hips. "Perfect." Was the reply, apparently the tigress getting the response she sought, she stood and looked to the slave fur. "I will take her, I assume you have two who suit my needs?" "Of course milady." The other bowed and turned to lead the feline away, Jessica feeling her heart sink, as her future seems to become bleaker. The scene changed, the girl sitting in a tub of hot water as two other female slaves washed her according to their mistress's orders and although they didn't show it the girl could certainly feel the tension from them as they washed the dirt and grime from her skin. It appeared they too were wary of her and her species. Afterwards they dressed her in translucent silks and led her to a luxurious bedroom to be left on the bed, where the big tigress waited, lying naked with a hungry look on her face. "Tonight and forever more, you are my pet and toy, sharing yourself with me and whom ever I chose." These words sent a chill up Jessica's spine as the feline took the girl into her arms and into her bed. * * * "...No we are not going to eat her." A deep male voice reached Jessica's ears as she stirred from her forced slumber, a throbbing pain in the back of her head reminded her of her fall, her eyes opened a little only to have her mind spin uncontrollably. She groaned and felt soft furs under and around her telling her at least she was some place comfortable even though she wasn't sure where. "Yes I know why I went out but even you should see the value of ... " The males voice trailed off at the sound of the girls groans. "Ah, sounds like out visitor is waking up, be a good girl and go ready the help." Her eyes still closed, Jessica couldn't tell who the man was talking to but heard a soft "humph" followed by the sound of bare feet stomping across the solid floor. "H-hello?" She managed to get out while holding her head and trying to sit up. A shadow fell across her as someone big came into her blurred vision, the strong smell of sweat and male pheromones reached her nose and she unconsciously blushed. "Stay relaxed child, you had a nasty fall." She felt a damp cloth press to her forehead, making her feel a little better. "W-who...?" Her hand came up to touch the cloth and the furry paw holding it to her skin and with it the memories of where she was came flooding back, her heart sinking as did her arm, her body sagging as she began to curl up. "Stop worrying girl." The male snorted, taking hold of her shoulders and sitting her up. "Now lets get a better look at you." As her vision cleared, Jessica found herself looking at a peculiar sight. A pair of thin-rimmed spectacles sat on the nose of a red furred tiger, his dark eyes studying her closely as he looked for other injuries. By her standards he was huge with a firm toned body and muscular chest. The girls face turning red as she caught herself looking him over just as much as he did her, a pair of black leather pants hugged his hips tightly. "Wow." The young blonde breathed, the tiger smirking at her before letting her settle back in a big pile of furs. "Well it seems the lump on your head is the only visible sign of injury not that I can tell from all the mud." The feline remarked with the girl looking down at her body and noticing for the first time just how dirty she had become as she fled from those who chased her. "I ... " She started then suddenly remembered. "Wait, what happened to...?" "The Feral?" The tiger said, finishing her question for her. "I wouldn't worry about him, he trespassed where he shouldn't have and he paid the price for it." Jessica remembered the statue she passed and the words her mistress told her came flooding back. "There are places where great angry beasts live, many are marked with grim warnings to stay away. The smart ones heed these warnings while only the very brave or the very stupid ignore them." "A beast?" The young human whispered. "If it got him why didn't it kill me?" A deep chuckle from the tiger chilled her spine, this alone telling her this massive male was the beast the totem warned about. "This is because I am curious about you, that and you may have some use yet." Surprised Jessica opened her mouth to speak but a shuffling of feet made her turn her head, the sight of a young dark elf entering the room made her stall in as she froze in fear. The stories her mistress told her about the elves were beyond horror stories in which these evil creatures of darkness would torture their victims in many unspeakable ways. The elf child stopped and looked at Jessica in surprise, the girls golden eyes twinkled in the light as she brushed aside her snow white hair, she worn a simple brown smock that made her look like a street urchin. If Jessica were to guess she would say her age was mid teens but she knew enough from her mistress that the dark elves were a long-lived species. "Ah Opal." The tiger said upon the young elf's appearance. "Is all ready for our guest?" Jessica whimpered and curled up a bit, assuming she had been brought to this place to be tortured and killed for trying to flee to safety, the elf Opal, raising a brow before looking at the big red tiger with heavy sarcasm. "Not my fault." He replied to an unheard question, moving to the frightened girl and scooping her up with no resistance. "Perhaps she's heard all the bad things your people do." Opal sighed heavily and followed the chuckling tiger as he carried Jessica out of the room and through what looked liked a series of corridors carved out of the rock. The scared human assuming she was being taken to a den of evil where she was to be subjected to lasting pain and was therefore taken aback when they entered a large ornate room. Looking around it reminded Jessica of a Roman bath house she once saw in a movie, with ornate carvings decorating the walls around two large pools of water, the closest of which had steam rising from it indicating its warmth. "Well you didn't think we were going to kill you now did you?" The feline half smirked as he set her down on her feet, removing the torn and muddy garments Jessica wore. At first she was going to protest but the size of the tiger and the confidence of his movements told her to comply with him actions, holding still as he stripped her, her cheeks flushing red again when he tilted her head back to look at the collar around her neck. "Hmmm Amazon. Not like them to let one like you get away, but then ... " His fingers gripped it carefully and with a snap he broke it cleanly off, hardly touching Jessica's throat despite her jumping at the noise. The young girl looked at the broken symbol of her captivity, blinking a few times and feeling a little lost for some reason before looking up at the tiger. "I'm not going to wash you if that's what you're waiting for." He said motioning to the heated pool with his head, Jessica noticed that the dark elf child had followed them in and was watching with some interest. "I ... thank you." Jessica whispered, lowering her head before moving closer to the pool, the two watching as she tested the water with her foot before slipping in with a soft sigh. The water was hot but not too hot, in fact it was perfect for the girl, the heat seeping into her tired and sore muscles as the scent of wildflowers wafted past her nose, closing her eyes Jessica sat down and leant back to rest against the side of the pool. "Tell me your name girl." The tiger said, moving to sit near the pools edge, making sure he could see the human as he became comfortable. Opal moved over to him and sat next to him before laying her head on his lap. "It's Jessica ... sir." Opening her eyes at the sound of movement in the water, she gasped in surprise as she saw another young girl, this one seemingly made of water rise up slowly next to her. "Be calm Jessica." Seeing the doubt she had. "She is a water element, she won't hurt you." The water spirit smiled in a warm way as she came closer, Jessica had heard of the magical creatures made of natural elements but encountered few of them in her months of captivity. Beings made of natures elements to do the tasks and bidding of those who created them. "She will wash you, as is her desire." The tiger voice came again, the girl nodded in understanding as the sprite reached out to caress Jessica's shoulder, her touch warm and wet as she began to clean the girl. "Tell me how you came to be in my territory Jessica." "Well Sir." Jessica began, leaning forward to let the element wash her back. "I was travelling with my mistress on a trade mission when we were attacked by the creatures my mistress called ferals." "Unusual but not unheard of. Go on." The tiger commented as her stroked the dark elf's hair. Jessica gave off a sigh as she felt the gentle touch washing her slip around her sides to her tummy. "M-my mistress couldn't understand it either, she said they were angry for some reason. We were almost overcome..." Jessica closed her eyes and shivered despite the warmth moving up and over her breasts, she heard a soft coo from behind as the sprite seemed to linger, massaging her soft flesh. "Overcome? The mighty Amazon warriors?" The voice seemed distant to Jessica but no less mocking, the human girl being more sensually caressed than washed now as the creature of magic behind her began slow deliberate movements meant to stimulate. "S-some of the f-fighters were sick for some reason." A soft groan escaped her lips as she felt legs open in the water, the feel of hands washing her inner thighs making her arch back. "M-my mistress ... oh god ... sh-she thinks our water was t-tampered with." "I see." The tiger said, watching the young girl writhe and squirm in the elements embrace, Jessica bit her lip as the warm caressing continued. "I should check the routes near where I found you to see if its anything I should worry about." The words were lost to the girl as she looked over her shoulder to the sprite, her face warm and caring in a way as she tended to the young human. Opal sat up as the tiger shifted to stand, Jessica looked over at the sound of his movement, her cheeks red with embarrassment as she realised he had been watching them at all times, the young dark elf girl approached carrying a large fluffy towel. "You will dry off and Opal will provide you some clothing, I have some errands to run so I will be gone for some time. Mean while you will remain here until I return, then we can decide what to do with you." Jessica looked up, the element was still caressing her body when the tiger left the room, the dark elf girl smiling in a way that made chills run up her spine as she produced a simple brown dress similar to hers for the human and quietly walked out of the room as well. * * * After dressing Jessica decided to look around, finding that most the "hallways" seemed to be tunnels carved into the rock, this giving her the impression she was underground, the cool air making her feel very comfortable as she moved around. The girl came across several different rooms in her explorations, a kitchen/dining area that seemed very well kept as well as the first room she woke in. The big pile of furs sitting in the corner near a plush couch that seemed very out of place in a cave environment. In the centre of this room there was a ring of stones circling a smouldering campfire, the smoke drifting up to disappear through a natural chute in the caves roof. An ember crackled and the burnt wood shifted and broke, the ensuing flare bought a surprising sight. A young looking girl, similar to the water element, seemed to form from glow, her features of flame flickering and dancing. Startled the human girl stepped back, watching the creature as she stretched and yawned before looking curiously to Jessica. "Um ... h-hello." Jessica said, wondering if the sprite could understand her, admittedly being surprised when the little element smiled and waved, looking around until she saw a pile of wood laying nearby. Jessica followed its gaze. "Did you want some of that?" She asked. The sprite nodded and bounced excitedly as Jessica moved to pick up a large enough piece and bring it over to the circle of stones, carefully place it near the blazing girl. Giving a shrill squeal the element jumped onto the fresh wood, blurring and swirling around it as she settled onto its dry surface. Jessica stepping back to watch in amazement, her mind coming to the conclusion these creatures need a fresh supply of something in order to stay alive, thinking back to her bath she remembered hearing the sound of running water so it could be possible there was a spring or river nearby. She looked away from the cackling sprite as her mind thought of Opal; it struck Jessica strange to see an elf girl with the red tiger after the stories her mistress had told her. The girl stopped and touched her neck where the collar had been. Former mistress, she thought then wondered what the tiger had in store for her now he had freed her. She had to find the elf girl, maybe she would know. Setting off once more Jessica felt a cool breeze on her cheek, following it knowing it would lead to an entrance or something of the like and came to an impressive sight. The entry cave of the tiger's lair was huge, and Jessica found herself staring at the cavernous area from the top of skilfully carved stairs. The breeze blowing in from a cave entrance some distance away. The girl realised freedom lay so close and took a hesitant step forward, her eyes locked on the entrance and to have someone grip her hand and tug her back. Looking back she saw Opal holding her hand firmly, giving her a stern look and shaking her head as she denied the humans advancement. "But ... but I could..." Jessica started, wanting to say she could "go home" but suddenly swooned as she felt a wave of dizziness overcome her, the lump on her head throbbed as she passed out. * * * Hissing in pain Jessica came to face down on top of something soft and comfortable. Her eyes opening to recognise the covers of a large bed she glimpsed briefly in her explorations. Stirring she tried to move but found her arms were stretched out above her and bound firmly to the bed head. Another jab of pain, not as bad as before, followed by a cool dampness made her turn her to the side to see Opal kneeling on the bed next to her tending the sore spot on the back of her head. "W-why am I...?" She groaned, wondering why the elf girl would tie her to the bed then panic flared in her heart. Her previous mistress had mentioned how bloodthirsty and evil the dark elves of this world were, often torturing their victims for hours on end just for their sick pleasure. The girl squirming with this in mind and with horror saw she was lying naked on the bed. The elf child cocking her head to the side as the human whimpered softly. "Please don't hurt me I didn't mean to..." She stopped as Opal giggled and placed a finger on Jessica's lips, silencing her and sliding back off the bed and onto her feet. Looking on and expecting to see the elf arm herself with a cruel looking weapon Jessica was very unprepared for what happened next. Opal closed her eyes and held out her arms, mumbling something quietly while around them in the room the shadows shifted and moved, drawn to the young girl and swirling around her form. The bound girl gasping in surprise as Opal grew from a child and into a voluptuous woman. Her snow white hair spreading out and wafting due to their power of her change, her golden eyes opening and twinkling brightly. Jessica blushed deeply, as the change occurred the girls dress remained on her, sliding up as the elf gradually got larger and the young human found herself looking at Opal's bare sex. "Wh-what is happening?" She had to blink several times then turned away as she felt her cheeks burn red. Opal gave a womanly giggle and slowly, sensually lifted the smock up and off, tossing it aside as her full breasts swung free. Retuning to her position on the bed next to Jessica, the now grown dark elf cooed softly and lightly trailed her long fingernails up the human girls spine. A soft moan and a shudder her reward as Jessica squirmed in her bonds. A tear formed in the girl's eye as she felt Opals fingers slide up to her neck, her skin tingling as the elf's finger moved in a circular pattern around her throat and Jessica could feel something had been left in its wake. ...Ah much better... A melodic voice filled the girls ears in a strange way. Opening her eyes she risk a glance at the naked elf woman and saw her smiling. ...Do not be frightened child... She said, or rather didn't say seeing her lips didn't move. "I don't understand." Jessica stuttered, looking shocked. ...I speak into you mind through this... Opal replied, touching a fine silken collar then now resided on Jessica's neck. ...We can now converse properly child... For a moment Jessica found it hard to take in, she felt the collar opal had placed around her throat, she also felt the elf's nails dragging slowly over her shoulder blades. "Wh-why am I tied u-up?" She asked breathlessly as she felt some pressure applied from the nails. ...Two reasons little one... Opal answered the girls question as she slowly explored Jessica's bare back with curiosity. ...First was because it is very dangerous outside this cave for one such as you, I know the master would be most upset if you left... Jessica's body shivered involuntarily, mainly because Opals nails pressed in at one spot and sent a pleasurable tingle up her spine, her heart skipped a beat at hearing the word "master" and a warm feeling she knew didn't come from Opals touching, flood her being. "And ... the second?" The bound girl managed to get out before biting her lip at another pleasurable tingle, Opal smiling and taking note of where she touched the girl. ...Well child, the master would be most upset at your leaving I know he would insist on punishing you... The elf smirked lightly as Jessica tensed up, visions of what her Amazon mistress's idea of punishment flashed across her mind and she flinched outwardly. ...Shhhhh little one... Opals calm words pushed aside Jessica's fears. ...We are not barbarians like the accursed Amazons, and you will not call me Mistress either. We are sisters in slavery child, we belong to him... Jessica gasped as the elf woman leant to kiss one of the sensitive spots she found with her nails, the girl arching as she let the words filter through. "S-sisters? Him?" The girl knowing it was the tiger Opal spoke of, her body squirming as hot air was blown across her back. ...Yes sister... Opal smiled and resumed touching and probing with her nails, licking her lips as Jessica moaned again. ...And now your punishment... Jessica lost track of how long this went on, Opal taking her time to explore her naked body, dragging and scraping her fingernails up and down the girls skin, finding dozens of sensitive spots. Each time stopping to kiss and sometimes nip with light bites of her sharp white teeth. It drove the girl wild, her body trembled, her moans came regularly and at times shamelessly, her cheek a deep crimson as her body was teased and tickled in a most sensual way. Opal purred in delight, Jessica was indeed a wonderful find and was pleased her master had bought her back. The smell of the girls arousal filled the air like a sweet flowers fragrance and it took a lot for the elf to not spread her captive open and see if Jessica tasted as good as she smelled. Straining in her bonds the girl was panted and squirmed as jolts of bliss shot through her from where Opal touched, Jessica's sex burning as her juices began to dribble from her folds. "Oh god." She moaned, feeling the elf's strong hands grip her hips and lift her to her knees, Jessica looking to see the woman slide under and then feeling the touches begin again over her tummy and chest. This must be the punishment Opal mentioned, the sensual teasing designed to drive her wild while denying a captive their release, this verified by the way the dark elf expertly avoided Jessica's sex and nipples. Opal shifted until her face was close to Jessica's sopping snatch, the elf could see the juices running down the girls legs and smiled. ...I wonder how you taste sister... She said and with this nipped lightly at the soft, wet flesh of her thighs, suckling at the girl's sweet juice. Jessica's eyes shot open and she bucked and writhed erotically as her captor started giving her hot love bites along her inner thighs, lapping her nectar in the process and just as she was about to begin begging for her release a deep voice came from the doorway. "It's nice to see you two getting along." Both looked to see the red tiger stepping out of his leather pants, his erect length an indication of how long he had spent watching the two. Jessica gasped, her cheeks already red, her eyes glued to the massive felines member as he approached the bed while Opal grinned as she suckled the squirming girls thigh. ...She was naughty, so I had to punish her milord... The elf's fingers scooping some of the Jessica's juices to smear on the tight star of her anus, always knowing what her master wants. "Uh huh." The tiger said, smirking in a sceptical way then climbing onto the bed. "And you decided to start without me too. Maybe you need to be punished too." Opal just smiled as she opened the human girls cheeks, showing the tiger Jessica's rear passage as the girl looked over her shoulder wide eyed. "W-wait..." She almost pleaded but she knew she had little choice, hissing as the feline took hold of her hips and slowly eased his thick shaft into her ass, Opal finally rubbing the girls throbbing clit and adding a blissful feeling to the slight pain of her rear hole being stretched. "I trust Opal has given you some idea of whom you belong to now?" He whispered into Jessica's ear as he hunched over her, the girl firmly sandwiched between the two now. Her teeth clenched but a new thrill jolting through her body at both the full feeling in her ass and the rubbing of her clit, Jessica managed to nod, this being a sign for the tiger to begin pumping her tight rear slowly, the elf beneath her diving in and lapping her snatch hungrily, Opals purr an indication of how much she enjoyed the taste of the human girls cunt. "Mmm yes, so good to have another warm body to play with." The male groaned, increasing the tempo of his thrusts, hot pre oozing freely now and lubing the girls passage enough for him to fuck her harder, the elf striving to push her tongue deep as Jessica now squealed in delight, her body trembling and tensing as her denied orgasm built with a vengeance, finally boiling over as the two used her bound body, the tiger growling loudly as the girls tight passage milked his climax from him. A hot creamy load gushing into her as her own orgasm washed over Opals face, the elf myrring in pleasure as she drinks Jessica's sweet nectar. Theirs grunts and moans lasted for several minutes as the tiger bucked his hips, his cock twitching as he pumped more cum into Jessica's ass, Opal lapping down the girls juices, adding a few more sensual love bites to those already there while their new pet moaned and shuddered, enjoying the attention the two were giving to her. The tiger reached to untie the girls wrists, laying on his side and drawing her with him, his big paws wrapping around to hold her close, his shaft still inside her. "So tell me my slut, whom do you belong to?" Sighing in a content way Jessica slowly opened her eyes and found herself looking into the ample cleavage of her dark elf slave-sister, smiling and nuzzling into it as she answers. "I am yours Master." Opal smiled and strokes the girl's hair, looking to her master. ...She will fit in well here I feel... The tiger smirked. "Good, tomorrow will be a long day for all of us, best to rest and gather our strength." Opal frowned at his words and nodded slowly, the tiger had discovered something, something that warranted action, and this worried the elf. She looked down to the human that lay between them, her eyes were closed and she had a smile on her face, adopting a similar smile Opal cuddled close, all three soon fading off to sleep. To be continued.
