Chapter 2: lights in darker places

The familiar sound of birds chirping was the first thing that Keiu heard as he awoke, squinting tiredly as his eyes adjusted to the sunlight that was filtering in through the holes in the roof of the shelter above him. He stretched his legs and murmured before looking around. He could see the inside of the turret more easily now thanks to the light. It was actually more spacious than he'd remembered. He scanned along the stone walls, noting the random tufts of bright green moss and creepers that had grown there over time. Looking to his right, he noticed that there was even a small but rather adequate water toilet in the corner. At least he wouldn't be deprived of basic sanitary needs.

The demi sat up and wiped his eyes, his paw coming into contact with a thin crust of dried canine seed. He bowed his head and started brushing down his face, trying to get as much of it off as he could.

"You're up, Keiu..." said Cyan wearily, sitting up and yawning in much the same way as Keiu had done earlier.

"Aye, I am." Keiu replied. He was at least glad to see that Cyan appeared to be feeling better, but the burning realisation of his surroundings and situation were still nagging at him. "How are you, Cyan? Are you feeling better?"

Cyan looked away from Keiu, his expression bleak. "The worst has gone for now. I can walk now, I'm sure, if it weren't for these chains around my feet."

"I wonder if this is our future?" whispered Keiu, his voice quivering slightly. "That was already the first day, and yet I feel as though I couldn't face anything like that again..."

"Be strong Keiu." said Cyan, sighing and rubbing his tired eyes. "We can do this. We are still alive you know, and for that I'm thankful."

"But is it even worth living any more?"

"Don't speak of such things, Keiu."

Keiu knew that being pessimistic wasn't going to help him, but being optimistic didn't seem to help either. He could still feel a dull sensation in his chest that felt as if he'd swallowed an iron ball. It was the feeling of shame. He sat back on his haunches, dusting himself off and watching Cyan as he absent-mindedly fiddled with the chain around his leg.

"Ugh...look at me. I'm filty!" griped the armoured demi as he observed the stringy mess between his inner thighs. "I want to swim...to get this horrible muck off me!"

Keiu suddenly felt his stomach gurgle. "I'm hungry..." he said, looking down at his paws.

Cyan stopped fooling around with the chain and looked up at him. "You know...I am too..." he said quietly as the realisation dawned on him that both he and Keiu were now dependant on their captors to keep them alive.

"What do you think they will feed us?" said Keiu thoughtfully. "Do you think they'll give us good food? Or will it be something we've never seen before."

Cyan sat up and looked around the room. "Most likely, it won't be what we're used to," he replied. "I don't think they know what we like to eat."

Keiu was about to reply when he heard a loud scraping sound. He turned around quickly to see the door to the turret open, brightening the room slightly. The demi squinted and looked into the light, able to make out the shape of someone about to enter. He immediately expected it to be Edge or Ignus, and crouched down into a submissive position almost instinctively, closing his eyes in fear.

"'morning you two." said an unfamiliar female voice. "Are you both awake? I didn't disturb you did I"

Keui looked up to see a female rabbit standing over him. She was chocolate brown in colour and had a white patch around one her left eye. She was dressed in an assortment of very thick leather belts that only just covered her extremities from a frontal angle, although aside from these, she was almost completely naked.

"I'm Liida," she said, smiling in a friendly manner and tilting her head to the side in a cute fashion. "Please excuse me if I seem impolite. I've never met a real demi before."

Keiu glanced over at Cyan, who had a steely, ready expression on his face. He looked as if he was prepared to attack should anything go wrong.

"H-hello..." Keiu replied shyly, shrinking back a little bit. He hadn't seen many females outside his own race. There was something about her short fluffy coat of fur and long floppy ears that he found to be very attractive. "...are you a slave too?"

"Sort of." Liida replied, tilting her head again. "I'm a caretaker. It's my job to look after the slaves. I hope we can get to be friends, yes? It's nice to have some friends in a place like this. But for now, I need to get you both cleaned up and fed and prepared for today's training."

At the mention of the word "training", Keiu felt his flesh prickle with dread. "Thank you..." he replied unsurely, glancing over at Cyan.

"So what are your names?" the rabbit inquired, looking directly at Cyan and waving to him. "You don't need to be shy either, little guy. Why don't you come over here too? I'm going to take you both outside soon anyway."

Cyan didn't respond, he simply looked away stubbornly. Keiu could tell he wasn't going to trust anybody at this stage. "I'm Keiu...and his name is Cyan" he replied gingerly, speaking for both of them.

"Oh that's nice. Those are very nice names." said Liida happily. "I'm glad we know each other now, so let's go and get you both cleaned up. I'm sure you both want to get rid of that mess the masters left on you, no?"

Keiu murmured what he hoped was an encouraging reply, before getting to his feet. He closed his eyes as he allowed Liida to clip a small belt around his neck with a lead attached to it.

"I'm sorry, but I have to do this as a precaution" she said frankly as she undid the chain around his leg. "I know we're friends now, but I still can't let you escape. I'd get into a lot of trouble if that happened."

"You're not my friend." mumbled Cyan under his breath, almost inaudibly. "Only Keiu is my friend here."

"Well I'm sorry to hear that," replied Liida in a careless manner as she fixed a collar around his neck (obviously having heard every word with her sensitive ears) "I hope you change your mind later on, because I want you to like me. You'll be seeing a lot of me, you know."

She patted him on the head and smiled, tilting her head again. Cyan shrunk away from her pats, rumbling defensively in his throat. Keiu could see why Cyan was being difficult, but personally, he was really quite pleased to have met someone else who wasn't his enemy.

"Are we ready to go now, boys?" The rabbit said, bouncing up onto her feet and threading the leashes through a catch in her belt. "I want you to walk behind me at an even pace. Please don't strain on the leads. If you do, I'll have to call on the slavers for help, and they can be rough, as you probably know."

As the three of them walked outside, Keiu could finally get a good look at the slave camp itself. There were a variety of semi-mobile tents that had been set up and built around. It appeared that this slave camp had no plans to travel for a while. He could see a few cages lined up outside the main tent, some of which contained captives. There were a few slavers and helpers doing everyday chores: a fire was going in the middle of the camp where a well-built wolf was stripping a giant beetle carcass for leather, while a slave stood by and cooked the meat. It smelled delicious, and Keiu could already feel himself salivating. "I hope they give us some of that!" he whispered to Cyan, who nodded in agreement. Looking in the other direction, Keiu noticed a blacksmith hammering swords into shape, and he also caught sight of two slavers having a game of cards under a tree. It all seemed very relaxed as far as the slavers were concerned, and rather village-like, despite being so small. Keiu heard Cyan growl. He turned and saw Koro leaning against a wooden pole, laughing as he carried a conversation with another slaver. Keiu could see the hatred in Cyan's eyes.

"I'm going...to bite him next time." said Cyan aggressively. "I don't care what happens to me after that. Nothing they can do to me is worse than what happened before."

Somehow, Keiu doubted this very much. He looked straight ahead and focussed on Liida. He noticed the elegant curves on her slim, shapely body, and how her hips swayed back and forth as she walked, causing her little round tail to bobble up and down. Keiu blushed deeply, and looked away, trying to find another sight to distract him.

"Alright, here we are." Liida said, hopping to a halt and turning around to face the demis. "First of all, we're going to get you all nice and washed. Then, we'll give you something to eat before reporting in to master Edge for training. Now then, on your paws and knees in front of that tap, please. Don't worry, the water should be warm. There's a thermal spring under this ground and the well was tapped into it ages ago, way before we came here. It's actually quite nice and refreshing!"

Keiu didn't really know what she was talking about. Back home, he swam in the lake every day, and the water was usually warm enough for him. Even so, he did as he was told, carefully lowering himself down onto his knees underneath the tap. He felt very vulnerable in this position, and he blushed slightly as Liida attached his collar to the base of the tap before securing Cyan in much the same way.

"I can only work on you one at a time, so one of you will have to wait. Who wants to go first?" chided Liida as she leaned against the pump. Keiu looked at Cyan, who nodded in response.

"I'll go first." He said softly, carefully edging further under the tap. Liida smiled and placed her paws on the pump, pushing it down in one fast, swift movement. Keiu listened to the sound of the water travelling up the pipe before suddenly feeling a generous stream of rather warm water run over his back and shoulders. He gave a yelp of surprise and reared back slightly. Liida giggled at this reaction.

"See? I told you it was warm." She said, reaching into a pouch on her side and producing a small vial which she opened and placed on the ground next to her.

Keiu shivered at the delightful sensation. This warm water was unlike anything he'd ever felt. It felt really good! He closed his eyes and concentrated as he felt it running along his body and down his legs, letting out a tiny moan. The stream wasn't wide enough! He wanted more of this water to cover his body!

"Oh Cyan! You have to feel this!" he said, pushing himself up under the tap to try and catch more of the water. "It's amazing!"

"I thought so too when I first tried it." said Liida, suddenly appearing next to Keiu and kneeling next to him. He glanced over at her and gasped. She was completely naked now, obviously having removed her clothes while he was distracted by the water. Keiu gulped as he noticed her breasts bouncing slowly when she moved. He had never seen breasts like that. Female demi usually had rather small breasts. These ones were large in comparison, and very prominent, with small pink nipples on the tips like berries on a cake. He blushed furiously and looked away, noticing that Cyan was also attempting to do the same thing. He gave a small cry as he felt her touch him, lightly pushing her body against him from behind and reaching around in front of him with her paws.

"Sorry if I startled you, little guy, but I need to get in close if I'm going to do a good job."

Keiu meeped and shivered as the rabbit opened the vial and applied some kind of herbal soap to her paw and began rubbing it sensually across his chest. He could feel himself getting aroused very quickly by this as she stroked and massaged his body.

"I'm going to turn the tap off now, alright? We can't afford to use more water than we need to." She said as she reached up and pulled on the pump once again. The warm water stopped running and Keiu was left feeling rather slimy and cold. He looked up and saw Liida's beautiful form once again, her fur wet and matted against her body, highlighting her small, pink vaginal slit. He looked down to see that his erection was once again fully formed, and judging by the way Cyan was sitting with his legs clasped firmly together over his paws, it appeared that he was also aroused by this situation. Keiu's thoughts were snapped away as Liida kneeled down behind him and continued her duty, humming a tune as she rubbed the soap over his pearly white skin. Without the water running, Keiu was left feeling incredibly naked. His cock was throbbing for attention as the female rabbit softly rubbed her body over his. He could feel her warm breasts pressing against his back as she spread the soap over his stomach and under his arms.

"Well it looked like you really got messed up last night, didn't you?" she said casually, simply trying to make a conversation. "It's harrowing at first, but after a while, you sort of get used to it, and maybe even start to enjoy it too. I know I used to be very protective of myself to begin with, but nowadays, I look forwards to spending time with master Ignus."

"You...do you really enjoy it?" gasped Keiu, trying not to let his arousal show through his voice. "I mean...how...uhh...how can you enjoy it when...when they take you like that?"

"I suppose it's a different feeling for us females." She replied, stroking his inner thighs lightly while rubbing the lather onto his shoulders and back. "I'm sure it's so unnatural for you to have to do that sort of thing with another male. But for me, I do enjoy myself when master Ignus calls. It could just be that I like him."

Keiu struggled to think of the proper way to respond, but it was hard for him to concentrate with this gorgeous female stroking and touching him. "But...you're not a species who can breed, are you?...I mean, you and Ig...I mean, master Ignus can't breed? Doesn't it feel wrong to you?"

"Not really. Personally, I think it's good. I don't want children." She replied matter-of-factly as she dragged her slippery paw over one of his nipples, causing him to flinch.

"You mean...so you just ENJOY the sex?" huffed the demi, trying to fathom what she was saying. "It's hard for me...to understand that."

"Why, don't you enjoy sex?" she asked, a puzzled tone in her voice. "Or don't your people believe in playing that way?"

Keiu paused and thought before delivering his answer. "w...we can't afford to waste such a sacred act."

"Oh dear." sighed Liida, dragging her hands off him for a moment and sitting back on her haunches. "I can tell you're going to have a very hard time here. Neverway, I can't offer any advice except try to put all that behind you and just do your best to follow orders. Now then, I'm going to have to wash some of your more private bits, so you'll have to forgive me if you feel uncomfortable."

Before Keiu could question this, he felt his legs buckle beneath him as Liida snaked her soft, delicate paw over his stomach and onto his erect penis. He gasped as she began stroking it softly, her paw gliding over a thin layer of soap. Keiu moaned softly and reared his head back, pushing his hips back and spreading his legs slightly on instinct. He let out a short cry of helplessness. It wasn't nearly as bad as being raped by Edge, but at this stage, he didn't want anybody touching his cock, not even if they were a beautiful girl.

"My, you're a sensitive little guy, aren't you? Sorry, this won't take long. Just a bit more and then we're all done here." Liida said pleasantly, sliding her paw off Keiu's member and along the bottom of his crotch. "Then we'll turn the warm water on again and then it's Cyan's turn."

Keiu began breathing heavily as he felt her fingers slide under his tailhole, massaging around the outside and along the base of his tail. He gave a fevered glance over to Cyan, who's head was turned the other way, obviously not wanting to watch his friend going through these struggles. Finally, Liida's hand withdrew and Keiu felt the warm water splashing over his back once more. He let out a loud gasp of relief and lay on his stomach in the grass, allowing the water to wash the soap and lather off his form. Liida sat next to him and placed her paw on his heaving shoulders gently.

"Aww...I'm sorry, Keiu. I can tell you didn't like that. It's a pity I can't let you wash yourselves, but I'm not allowed to do that, I'm afraid. Please don't take any of this personally. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine..." the demi whimpered, rising shakily to his knees. "Th-thank you for cleaning me."

Liida smiled. "Well I'm glad you're not angry at me. Anyway, it's Cyan's turn now. Come on, Cyan, under the tap."

Keiu looked at Cyan. The armoured demi was pouting furiously. Oddly enough though, he made his way over to the tap without complaint. Keiu sat back in the grass, watching as his packmate was washed in the same manner. It certainly didn't make his erection get any softer.

"Finally, that's all done then. Thank you both for being so helpful." Sighed Liida happily as she washed the soap off herself for the final time. I'll dry you two off now and then we can get something to eat! I'm sure you're both very hungry!"

The thought of food cheered Keiu up somewhat. The rough, playful manner in which Liida dried them was also a refreshing distraction from the sensual caresses that they'd both experienced earlier from her. Either way, both of them were very pleased to be finally clean. Once Liida had put her belts back into place, she took their leads and walked them further towards the centre of the camp. Soon, the three of them had arrived at an open area near the fire that Keiu had seen earlier. There were quite a few slaves sitting on the grass, watched over by two slavers. Liida sat down cross-legged on the grass and motioned for Keiu and Cyan to do the same.

"What kind of food do we get here?" asked Cyan. Keiu was surprised that he was finally talking after being so silent.

"The slaves are generally fed the same thing as the slavers. You'll be nourished enough, I can promise that. Although don't expect to eat a lot. It smells like you're having meat today. The hunters brought back a giantbeetle from the forest."

Sure enough, the food was soon handed around, distributed evenly between everyone. Both Keiu and Cyan received quite a significant chunk and proceeded to eat it gratefully. It was rather tough and difficult to chew, yet very delicious.

"Aren't you eating any, Liida?" asked Keiu between mouthfuls. The rabbit shook her head.

"I don't eat meat. I'm a herbivore. I'm rarely hungry, I just eat grass when I am."

"That must be so easy. To just be able to eat grass!" said Cyan in awe. "You don't have to hunt or go foraging for it. It's always there!"

"Not very tasty though." shrugged Liida, picking a blade of grass from the ground and nibbling on it. "I would prefer a big leaf of lettuce...or a carrot. But it's rare that we come across those here. I should maybe think of starting my own garden. I know the other rabbits will love that too. Of course, I'd need to get permission from my superiors first."

When the meal ended, Keiu and Cyan were lead back to their shelter and re-chained. Liida made sure the shackles were secure before turning to leave. "Remember, you guys must use the toilet as soon as you can before training starts, and then clean up. I'll be back to get you when you're finished." she said, reminding them both of the rules she'd stated earlier. As the rabbit closed the stone door, she turned around to come face-to-face with Ignus who had snuck up behind her with next to no noise. She jumped with surprise before settling down when she identified him properly.

"Oh master Ignus! You scared me, sir!" she giggled, leaning back against the stone door in an exaggerated expression of relief. "But then again, anybody would have been scared by a big warrior like you creeping up on them!"

"How are these two coping." said Ignus dully, his voice as cold as ever. "I trust you didn't encounter any problems with the blue one?"

"Ah, he was being difficult at first, but he warmed to me." replied the rabbit cheerfully. "They're so cute and innocent. I really had to be very gentle with them during the bathing, poor little things; they don't know how to handle sex at all. I'm a little worried for them actually. Especially seeing as master Edge is in charge of their training." She walked over and placed her hand on Ignus's chest, feeling his sable fur against her paw.

"Not that I can do anything to help them, really."

"Hmph. Speaking of Edge, here he comes now."

Sure enough, Edge was approaching them at a steady pace, whistling to himself and twirling a short sheathed sword in his hand. Ignus watched him come closer with an ice-cold glare. As the green dog finally arrived, Ignus coughed loudly, which caused Edge to sneer.

"As usual, I can tell you're delighted to see me, Ignus." said edge Drolly, poking the sword end into the ground. "Come on, humour me. I've got a few hours to kill before I start training those two in there."

"You're a demanding bastard, aren't you?" the Doberman growled in reply, shaking his head. "Can't you see I'm busy here?"

Edge gave a sideways glance at Liida, smiling wryly. "Or...you were about to get busy as I can see."

Liida tilted her head, as she had a habit of doing. "Hello master Edge!" she exclaimed in her usual bubbly manner. She squeaked as Ignus put his arm around her waist and pulled her close to his naked body.

"Yes, fathead. I was planning on spending some time with Liida here before she goes back on duty. What do you want that's so important right now?"

Edge shrugged. "Well it seems that everybody's eaten lunch, haven't they? Well...except for me of course. I think you know what I mean."

Ignus took a deep breath and growled in frustration, causing Liida to shudder against his chest. He narrowed his eyes at Edge, who folded his arms and tapped his foot in contempt.

"Where do you want it, Edge?" he said, matching Edge's stance and raising his chin proudly. Edge grinned, an evil glint in his eye.

"Right here."

Ignus rolled his eyes and turned to Liida. "I'm afraid this will have to wait for later." he said to her calmly. "maybe tomorrow when you're not too busy."

"Actually, Ignus. She can stay." Interjected Edge before Liida could reply. Ignus raised an eyebrow at him. Liida glanced at Edge and looked down at her feet.

"Master Edge, if you don't mind, I think I will go..."

"No, actually, I changed my mind. You WILL stay." said Edge, catching her before her sentence was finished. Liida smiled in response, but inwardly, she was grinding her teeth in frustration. Ignus gave Edge a disgusted look.

"Control....FREAK." he hissed, shaking his head. "Well whatever Edge. Right here. Get it over with before I get bored of you.

"You never get bored of me." Replied the dog mockingly, reaching down and unfastening the mesh pouch that covered his crotch.

Liida watched as Ignus ceremoniously kneeled down, leaning back against a lump of grass and spreading his legs wide, exposing his large sheath and balls for Edge's inspection. She'd seen the two of them do this before, but never had she been a part of it. She knew that Edge wasn't a normal dog. He was, in fact, part incubus. Incubi were a species of demon that were relatively common to the Turania region. Unlike other species of Demon, Incubi and Succabi (the females of the species) survived by extracting physical exhaustion from other beings, and consuming sexual fluids. Edge, although not resembling an incubus in appearance, had inherited the ability to survive through these means as well as through eating normal food. She had always found him unnervingly unnatural and strange, and for that reason, was not overly sure about herself in this situation.

Of course, she did find his body very appealing, and his green fur was interesting in its own right. She watched as Edge stretched and murred, preparing himself and exhibiting his steely muscles. If Ignus, who was decidedly straight, could put up with him, then she could too. The main thing that nagged at her was that Edge was known for his cruelty, a quality that she didn't see as positive.

"You should be thrilled by this, Ignus. It's the first time we've done this with a female to help things along." the hybrid dog said, his voice deep and seductive as he took his seven inch cock in his paw and began stroking it as he lowered himself down in front of his reluctant partner. "Come on, bunny. Let's see how you handle two guys at once. I'm sure it's no problem for you, right?"

Liida made no comment, she simply plastered a fake smile on her face and made her way over to the two dogs lying in front of her. Edge lowered himself down onto Ignus in a missionary position. He grinned as he looked Ignus in the eye and positioned himself so their cocks were touching. "You know you like doing it this way..." he teased, spreading his legs and moving his hips slowly up and down. "I know how you love a good work out."

Ignus folded his arms behind his head, a proud and bored expression on his face. Edge didn't let this deter him. He was used to it. The green canine began to slowly hump Ignus's body, rubbing his cock over the Doberman's muscular stomach. He stiffened his muscles and moved with controlled precision, lightly brushing himself over the maleness beneath him. He tilted his head down and administered a long, slow lick to Ignus's right pec, enjoying the scent of the Doberman's musk. Ignus let out a soft grunt and closed his eyes, moving his body slightly in rhythm with Edge's motion.

"Aren't you forgetting that you're going to work on those two demi slaves soon anyway, Edge?" he said, tensing slightly as the stimulation started to grow.

Edge arched his back and pulled himself further up so he was stroking his cock along Ignus's heaving chest. "...yeah. I know." He said, breathing through his words. "Doesn't mean I can't get a little more from you before hand, does it?"

Ignus could feel his cock starting to drip now. He huffed and opened his eyes, watching the muscular canine torso moving above him, the masculine scent of musk and leather starting to fill his senses. He looked down at Liida. Catching his gaze, she nodded and leaned down, nuzzling the base of his cock with her soft lips. Ignus tensed and moaned quietly, tilting his head back as the rabbit started to lick and suck at the base of his cock, rolling her tongue around the inside of his sheath. Edge looked down at him and grinned.

"You don't look so dull anymore, Ignus..." he said snidely, a drop of sweat trickling down his snout and dripping onto Ignus's shoulders.

"Don't get cocky, It's not you, it's her." replied Ignus, nodding in Liida's direction. Edge looked down past his stomach to see Liida working on Ignus's thick penis. He snuffed indignantly and continued grinding himself along Edge's body.

"I'll be the judge of that."

Ignus huffed and raised his hips off the ground. Edge's cock was leaking precum all over his chest now. He could hear the sticky noises as it slid back and forth along his chest and stomach. Liida continued to probe his sheath with her tongue, already having teased his knot into existence. She withdrew from his sheath and began licking the knot itself now, causing him to reel with pleasure. He let out a short but audible moan, panting as he felt Edge nuzzle into his armpit, licking along his bicep and the edge of his pec.

"Mmmmh, yeah. Working up a sweat now..." growled Ignus as he licked at the doberman's body. "I'm gonna drench you in delicious salty pleasure until you serve up the main course for me...uhhh..."

The hybrid dog let out a sudden gasp of ecstasy and reeled back, shuddering with effort to keep himself up. Ignus looked down to see that Liida had reached up and cupped Edge's cock in her paws while she continued to suck at his knot. She held her paws in position as Edge humped against Ignus's chest, effectively stroking the cock with every thrust it made. Ignus watched as Edge half-came at this touch, dumping a load of cloudy white semen all over his pecs. He tilted his head back and breathed as the hot fluid dribbled down his muscles and over his shoulders and neck. Edge recovered quickly, panting and sweating heavily, he turned and gave Liida an approving glance.

"Looks like someone's finally getting into the hang of things now, huh? Not too rough now, I want this to last a bit longer!" he huffed, steadying himself while he allowed the sensation in his penis to die down enough for him to continue.

"Yes master Edge" Said Liida cutely, looking up from Ignus's dripping cock. She murred quietly to herself as she nuzzled into the knot again feeling the big male tense and shiver at her touch. She could feel her own fluids dripping from her pussy as she sensuously teased Ignus's body to the best of her ability. She looked up again, viewing the two muscular bodies in front of her. From her position, she could see every inch of Edge's perfect ass and thick legs, and every time he raised himself up, she caught a glimpse of Ignus's heaving torso, smeared with cum that was trailing from Ignus's inner thighs in thin sticky strings. She just wished she had have left her other hand free to pleasure herself.

"Huh...uh...you'd better get ready, Edge...uh...I'm getting...I'm getting closer...uhh..." panted Ignus, tensing as hard as he could and pulling his head back. His hips were lifted completely off the ground now and his legs were spread as wide as they'd go. Liida was about to take the head of Ignus's cock into her mouth when Edge intervened, turning around and levelling a finger at her, warning her to stop.

"Stay where you are!" he growled, grabbing hold of Ignus's penis with his right paw and stroking along it's length with his thumb.

Ignus jerked back and cried out as the sensation reached it's peak. He thrust his hips sharply and ejaculated hard, ropes of heated cum jetting from his cock. As Ignus blew his load, Edge quickly pointed his penis downwards. Before Liida knew what was happening, her chest had already been covered in the thick strands of fluid.

When the orgasm came to an end, Edge licked as much of it as he could off his own paw, murring at the salty taste and feeling the energy that was being delivered to his body. He sat down on Ignus's panting body, wiping his brow and fixing Liida with a hungry glare.

"Now then...I'm not going to waste any of THAT either."

Liida looked down at her chest. A majority of the cum was dripping down her breast and stomach. It took her a while to realise what Edge's intentions were, but as soon as it came to her, she found herself on her back, the canine kneeling over her, licking his lips suggestively.

"Hey wait, sir, I thought I..Uugh!" she chirped, her complaints cut short as Edge leaned down and began licking the cum off her breasts, moaning erotically as he did so. "Aack...oooh, that's nice...aauh! Hee hee, that tickles!"

Liida tilted her head back and squeaked with pleasure as Edge licked her body in an almost predatory fashion. He really knew what he was doing with his mouth! Every time his long tongue met one of her nipples, she let out a loud moan and squirmed. He continued to follow the trail of cum down her front, eventually coming close to the lips of her vagina. The rabbit braced herself for the impact, unable to take much more of this teasing.

"Mmh, well now, would you look at this...a double meal!"

Ever so slowly, Edge extended his tongue and pushed it down into her labia, tasting the sweeter feminine fluids. Inch by inch, he pushed it down further, each time causing Liida to moan and gasp. She swooned as she felt the wet muscle glide over her clitoris, sending shivers across her entire body, cumming lightly once, then twice before a pause. Edge greedily drank at the sudden increase of fluid, pushing his muzzle down further. The rabbit cried out sharply as the tip of Edge's tongue came into contact with her g-spot. Just as she was about to cum again, she felt Edge withdraw. She dizzily looked up to see Edge leaning back and using Ignus's crotch as a headrest, panting as he stroked himself slowly.

"I'm not done with you, bunny. You were going to play around with Ignus to begin with, right? Well then, we'll finish this that way too. Come over here."

Curious to see what Edge had in store for her next, Liida crawled over to him on all fours. When she was close enough, Edge stood up and directed her forcibly but gently onto Ignus's body. She straightened up a bit to look the Doberman in the eye. He stared back at her, panting and with his tongue hanging out. She turned around to be pinned down again by Edge. She was now effectively sandwiched between both of them.

"Uhh, wait, are you going to...OH oh, never mind." the bunny quipped as Edge lay on top of her and gently eased his cock into her wet glory hole. She writhed and moaned, feeling the thick shaft slide in and out of her, bumping all her sensitive spots every time it moved. Edge grunted and let out a huff of exertion and pleasure. Liida could feel the two sweaty bodies moving above and beneath her, massaging her with their shivering muscles. She threw her head back and gasped, folding her arms around Edge's neck and pulled him closer, instinctively planning a kiss on his lips and tasting Ignus's cum and her own juices. She giggled as he replied by licking and nuzzling at her neck. Eventually, after only a few more minutes of this, Liida cried out and came for real, experiencing a chain orgasm that lasted for about five rounds before slowly dying down. She panted heavily as Edge continued, grunting and straining before he threw his head back and let out a long, loud howl, filling her with warm, thick fluid as he came in an almost continuous stream.

The three of them lay panting on the ground, stacked on top of each other and dripping with sweat and fluids. After a pause, Edge shakily got to his feet, his cock coming free with a wet sound and trailing cum behind it, and removed Liida from on top of Ignus, who had almost gone hard again.

"So then, Ignus..." he panted breathlessly, wiping his chest and licking his fingers as an afterthought. "You can't tell me...that you didn't enjoy that."

The Doberman snorted, sitting up and wiping some of the cum from his chest. "Get over yourself Edge. It was decent. Liida made it slightly more tolerable than normal. I still had to put up with having sex with you though. Speaking of which, what about Liida then?"

"Thank you masters! That was amazing!" laughed the rabbit dizzily, stumbling to her feet. "I'll work twice as hard tomorrow for you both! Oh wow!"

Edge glanced at Ignus and smirked. "I like to hear that, don't you?" he said snidely. Ignus didn't reply.

"I suppose now I aught to deal with those slaves..." he added, walking over to the stone door. "I've already planned what I was going to do with them today...heheh...it's not going to involve much effort from my part."

"Um...master Edge...those two demi aren't like the other slaves here." Liida said worridly. "They're very fragile. I beg you, please be kind to them!"

"If something is fragile, then it simply makes it easier to break." growled the canine as he opened the stone door. "That is a good thing if the intention was to break it in the first place."

Liida felt her heart sink as she heard these words. She felt fearful as to what was going to happen to Keiu and Cyan now.

"Either way, you are dismissed...unless you'd like to help me again."

Liida glanced at Ignus and then at her feet. "No sir, I think I will go now."

"Very well. Ignus? Will you join me?"

Ignus was silent. After a pause, he nodded and walked over to the opening. As the two slavers entered the turret, he turned and gave Liida another look, one that seemed to say "just go." Liida sighed as they closed the door behind them. Suddenly, for the first time in ages, she felt dirty.

"So Luce...let me get this correct. You're leaving on a personal mission? For a reason you won't disclose? Surely you can see why I'd be worried."

Mars's tone was stern and cold, and he was definitely not overly impressed by this news.

"Yes sir. I know it seems sudden, but this is an opportunity for me to sort out some odd ends in my life that have been waiting for far too long." the demon sighed in response, not wanting to have to explain much more. Mars leaned forwards in his chair.

"Luce, you're our only true Champion. There are quite a few warriors who could take your place while you're gone, but if you don't return, then the Hot Steel Guild would be severely handicapped!"

"I know that sir," said Luce through gritted fangs "but nothing is going to happen to me. Aren't you confident in my abilities? You know I wouldn't take on anything I know I couldn't handle."

The otter was unmoved. "Judging by what I know of your personality, you wouldn't know if something was too much for you if you sat down and talked to it." he replied, folding his arms in front of him. "I'm not going to try to stop you, Luce, but I can't help but worry. You must promise me not to take any stupid risks."

Luce nodded. "Promise, sir."

"On top of that..." said Mars, obviously thinking off the top of his head, "you must bring another warrior along with you to aid you in your quest."

"What?"

"There is strength in numbers, even if that is just a small number. Like two."

Luce shook his head. The last thing he wanted was for some rookie to get in his way.

"I told you, this was a personal quest! Personal as in just me!"

"No arguing, Luce! Find yourself a partner. I won't allow you to take on this project on your own and that's final."

Luce growled with frustration, rising to his feet and bowing sloppily before he stormed out of the tent. The minute he was outside, he almost ran straight into someone. Stepping back, he could see that it was the wolf he'd met earlier.

"Hey Luce!" shouted Stone, wagging his tail furiously. "I um...I heard that!"

Luce felt like exploding. "oh hell..." he mumbled, covering his eyes with his paw.

"Don't be hasty to reject!" said Stone determinedly, standing tall with a spear by his side, a strong look on his face. "I'm a good fighter, a good hunter and a good scouter. I won't be a burden, I promise!"

"But WHY do you want to come along?" said Luce slowly, as if he were talking to an idiot. "You're still only new to the guild. Don't you have training to work on?"

"Actually, Luce. Rock here has already trained at a few guilds before this one." Mars said, entering into the conversation. "I think even you would be surprised at some of his skills. He is - how to say - adept in many fields."

Rock brimmed with pride, taking his silly military stance again. "That's me sir!" he yapped excitedly. "Adept in many fields!"

"Well it seems I'm not going to get anywhere by arguing." Luce said, his voice under great restraint. "So I'll accept for now. But if you stuff up even once out there, I'll send you packing back to the guild, got it?"

"Got it!" was the wolf's energetic reply. "I'll get my things right away so we can set off when you're ready, Captain!"

"Are we all happy now?" Luce asked Mars sarcastically. The otter grinned and nodded.

Within a few hours time, Luce and Rock had already left the guild camp and were a few miles away by the time the sun was beginning to set. The whole journey so far, Luce had tried to avoid conversation, which was rather difficult, seeing as Rock wanted to talk.

"...so then my brother tried it the second time, and the merchant actually mistook him for this Ruka fellow and gave him the sword for free. I was really glad, because I'd only ever seen one like it, but my brother complained that it was too light for him. Eventually, we just melted it down and used the silver to create an axe using another sword! An axe created from two swords...and it was a great axe too, had a hefty feel to it, like it could cut anything. Mind you, at the time, it was too heavy for me, but I wasn't allowed to use it anyway, so I would often train using a wooden replica that I..."

Luce was starting to feel annoyed. He turned slowly to the wolf and glared at him through narrowed eyes. "OH IS THAT SO?" he proclaimed loudly, showing mock interest. Rock jumped slightly at this sudden sound that wasn't his own.

"Yes..uh...it was a topic of much discussion in my family for quite some time...I still think that..."

"YOU DON'T SAY?" said Luce again, cutting off Rock's speech and nodding his head in a learned fashion. Rock was disoriented at first, but caught onto it rather quickly.

"You're making fun of me, am I annoying you sir?"

"Yes."

"Oh...well I guess I'll stop talking then."

"That would be nice." said Luce, relieved that he'd gotten through to the wolf with little argument involved. "I don't mind you talking, but at least talk about something I care about. Anyway, it's getting dark. We should find a place to rest for the night and light a fire."

Rock literally sprung into action. "Sure thing sir! Follow me, I know just what to do!"

Luce doubted this, but decided to let Rock do his thing for now. However, within less than half an hour, he was surprised to find that Rock had scouted out a perfect location and lit a fire using flint, as well as set up a temporary shelter.

"Hmm, seems I underestimated you, wolf." said Luce as he looked around the cosy campsite, a hint of respect in his voice. "That was pretty impressive. Do you do this sort of thing often?"

"I used to." said Rock as he poked the fire. "I was the omega wolf in my old pack, actually. It was my duty to do things like this. Scout areas, light fires, those things."

"Seems that it serves you well today." Luce replied, sitting down next to the fire, his skin glowing an aqua shade of thought and contentedness. "I won't lie, it would have taken me twice as long to do all this."

"Well there are two of us, I suppose." said the wolf as he added some more wood to the fire before sitting down next to Luce.

A moment of silence passed as both creatures enjoyed the warmth of the fire. Luce could feel that Rock was going to say something. The wolf was looking around in a distracted manner, almost waiting for the right opportunity. Luce sat back and folded his arms, waiting for Rock to say something. Sure enough, one minute later...

"So Luce...do you remember that when you first met me... you um...er...you let me have a look at you...a little closer right?" said Rock awkwardly, trying to sound casual.

"Hmm, yes." replied Luce.

"Well umm...ummm...when you did that, you pulled your cock back into your sheath really quickly...how do you do that?"

Luce smiled. He had to hand it to Rock, this wolf knew how to weedle his way around a conversation.

"That's just something my race can do." he replied simply. "we have strong muscles at the base of our penises. If we need to, we can pull them back. It's not easy to hold it back for long, though. Eventually, if we're still aroused, it will just pop back out again. Hold it too long, and it actually hurts."

"That's so...different." mumbled Rock, his curiosity barely hidden by his level-headed voice. "and um, if you don't mind me asking you these things...un...your tail. Why is it shaped like that?"

"The end of our tail can be used for stimulating a mate during sex, or for masturbating." The demon replied, a cunning grin spreading over his handsome features. He knew exactly where Rock was trying to go, but it would be fun to play along.

"Oh...I see..." said the wolf, fiddling with his claws. "That must be handy."

"It is. It feels amazingly good to be able to get a prostate orgasm on demand."

A very long, tense silence followed Luce's words. Besides the crickets chirping, it seemed that the whole forest was holding its breath. Finally, Rock spoke again.

"So uh...you know..."

"yes?"

"What we did last time...er...do you think we could uh...do that again?"

Bingo. Luce smiled slyly at Rock, his tail swishing back and forth teasingly. He knew this question was coming a mile off.

"Well we are alone here, and we don't have access to any females...so I don't see why not." replied the demon, casually folding his arms behind his head and spreading his legs slightly. "If that's what you want..."

"Okay..." whispered Rock, carefully crawling over to Luce on his paws and knees. "I hope it's really alright with you. I'm just...curious."

Luce watched as the young wolf slowly undid the buckles on Luce's leather codpiece. removing the item completely. He watched, captivated, as Luce's glowing cock slowly began to emerge from its armoured sheath, changing colour from an aqua green to a greenish yellow in colour. Ever so cautiously, Rock reached up with his paw, expecting the glowing shaft of meat to disappear within a blink. This time, though, it didn't. His paw came into contact with soft, slimy flesh. He gave it a quick stroke, causing Luce to breathe softly. The wolf examined his hand. Luce's cock seemed to be covered in a kind of natural lubricant. He sniffed it, recognising the strong scent from before.

"It's so amazing..." he whispered, staring into Luce's crotch. "How does your flesh glow like that? Is it your blood? Is there something that glows in your blood?"

"Have you ever seen a firefly before, wolf?" chuckled Luce in amusement. "Same principle really. It's all bioluminescence. Energies and chemicals produced in my body."

Rock seemed to be thinking. "But it must be hard, as everyone can see you in the dark."

"Good point." said the demon as if tutoring a student. "But I can turn my luminescence off for short periods of time. Just watch."

Luce closed his eyes and concentrated. To Rock's amazement, his glow slowly started to fade, eventually settling to a shiny black. If it weren't for his glowing yellow eyes, Luce would have blended in with the night almost perfectly.

"Ah...oawow! How long can you do that for!" said Rock in amazement. Luce thought for a while and shrugged.

"I don't know. It's a bit like holding your breath. My best record is one minute." I'm sure there are other demons of my kind who can do it for longer."

"I can hold my breath for five minutes, you know!" said Rock brightly, seemingly wanting to show off some of his skills too. "My tribe used to train us in breath-holding from a young age!"

"Five minutes is a long time to hold your breath." Luce replied, mildly impressed. "I've never tried that."

Rock blushed slightly and scratched behind his ears. "I uh...you don't mind if I take off my loincloth, do you Luce?"

"Go ahead. You don't need to ask me."

The wolf reached down and unfastened the loincloth from around his waist, placing it on the log next to where Luce was sitting. Luce took a look at his body, noting that he had an average sized penis for a wolf. Even so, it was an attractive shape, and suited his light muscular build very well. Rock blushed and sat down between Luce's legs. "I'm not sure what it is, but I get aroused easily as you can see."

"I get that a lot." replied Luce jokingly, despite the fact that he knew he meant it.

"I'm uh...do you want to...um...perhaps we could...masturbate together?" Rock whispered, almost as if he didn't want to be heard. Luce smiled. He was enjoying this. Without replying, he reached down with his right paw and began touching himself lightly, letting out a soft grunt so as to alert Rock that he had his consent on the matter. The wolf understood, kneeling down next to Luce. He lay back and started to stroke his own cock, the knot having already been formed.

"Make as much noise as you need to, wolf. Do what feels good." Luce murred, encouragingly placing his free paw on Rock's shoulder. Rock nodded and tilted back his head, panting softly.

"um...one more thing..." the wolf said unsurely, letting go of his cock and looking up at Luce. "This may sound weird, but...can I...sniff you?"

Luce gave Rock a questioning glance

"I really don't like to admit this, but I...er...I like the smell of male...it makes me aroused for some reason...I don't know why. And umm....since we're already being so open with each other now, I was wondering if you'd let me smell your body?"

Luce had never had this request before. He could tell that Stone was rather bi-curious, but for a wolf who wasn't entirely sure of his sexual preferences, having a musk kink was somewhat unusual. Even so, Luce liked the idea, it seemed naughty enough to be interesting.

"I'm not going to stop you from doing anything, wolf." he grinned, his tail swishing back and forth as his skin changed bright yellow.

Rock gulped and nodded. He knelt down next to Luce, leaning over and sniffing at the demon's chest. He murred, stroking his hard cock as he sampled Luce's arousing musk. "Uhh...you smell really good, Luce..." he said quietly, feeling the heat rising off his superior's body. "I really like the smell of male and cock, but until now, I've never had the chance to actually do this sort of thing with another male..."

"So what exactly are you then?" Luce inquired, murring as he softly stroked his glowing cock. "Do you like females after all? Or are you a tailraiser then?"

"I think...I like males AND females..." responded the wolf timidly. "Sort of...for different reasons."

Luce nodded in understanding. He grunted as he stroked himself slightly faster, tensing his leg muscles as his climax grew near. With a short gasp, he rose to his knees and released, lines of his glowing seed spilling through the air and over his paw. He turned to Rock an smiled, leaning back and smearing the glowing load over his chest.

"Well then, it looks like we've got more in common than I thought."
