"Wooooa, so high!"
The top of the cliffs on Thousand needles allowed us to gaze upon a wonderful view, the sun setting gave the horizon a soft red colour while shrinking giving pass to the moon and the starts. The soft wind caressed our sweating bodies and helped us to recover our breath, after climbing our way to the highest mountain we could see.
"Look look! The Tanaris desert is that way! Ohhh and that way is the Feralas forest!"
Sherinda was really excited, when I told her to go on an adventure she couldn't hide the desire of exploring her own continent, it was after all her homeland.
"I'm really glad you like it"
I'm a liar, my fake smile was only trying to hide the truth. I decided to avoid the northern part of Kalimdor for some time, even the precious Mulgore, afraid of that crazed elf which hold a grudge against the tauren race. In my mind, the bloodlusted eyes of the shadowy cat hunted my dreams, nightmares of her cutting me to shreds waked me up all nights. But there was something that eased those moments, upon opening my eyes it was always there, vigilant and alert, the owl we named Flamefeather.
We found a small set of rocks and decided to settle there for that night, finally after some time, we got a place secure enough to rest together without having to worry of any incoming dangers, the altitude of the place and the traps set along the way together with our loyal sentry would make enough to take care of it. Sherinda undressed the heavy chain armor while staring at the sparkling sky full of stars while I set up the camp fire, the dry wood was easy to light up and the warm fire was crackling giving the surrounding stones a soft reddish tone. I stand up and stretch my arms and legs with a lousy yawn with satisfaction.
"Aaaah this feels great... I could stare at the fire for hours and never get tired of -"
I couldn't finish the sentence when I felt Sherinda's arms wrapping my chest and her voiced took a small tone of sadness.
"Secret, is there anything worrying you? It doesn't feel like yourself these last days, you feel so distant and cold"
I slowly touched her arms with my fingertips making small circles and I could feel her breath with soft moanings on my neck.
"Don't worry I'm fine, just a little tired up"
With a small sigh her head caressed my back gently.
"Then let me take care of everything tonight"
Her mouth began to kiss the back of my ear while doing soft bitings, making my body shiver which made her let out a little giggle. Her tongue began to make loops over my neck while her hips pushed my back forcing me to lie down in top of her, so now we found ourselves resting in the floor giving away to our lust. While keeping the job from her mouth she used her skilled hands to remove my armor in a swift motion and my whole body could now feel the leathery skin with a slippery feeling from our sweats combined, her breast pressured under my back were moving along with her waist making a subtle massage. One of her hands was removed from my chest, sliding through my belly to reach the already awaken member, with two fingers she began stroke it in a slow motion, stopping some times to tease the tip using her nails and toying with it. Her hooves trapped my legs and crossed over, pulling me closer now I could feel her dripping pussy humping my ass.
"Nggggghhhh"
I was completely at her mercy, unable to move and stand the pleasure, I raised my hands and grabbed the hair behind her neck.
"Tihihi does it feel good honey?"
Her other hand followed the same path of the first but this time targeting my close to exploding balls, engulfing and caressing them while faping me faster and faster.
"Ahhhh... Sherinda... I'm...!!!"
Our bodies arched upwards and a huge load of jizz emerged raining down covering both our bodies and the ground around. Exhausted and heavily breathing I turned my head and kissed her lips and she returned it while massaging my entire body playing with the cum as if she was making a picture of me. Her now soothing voice whispered once again.
"Don't carry any burden alone, no longer you need to watch my back, we both protect each other now"
Day after day I could realize why I fell in love with her, the wisdom of her race and her personal charm and why not, her strong and cute body.
"Also we got Flamefeather with us! There is nothing that can go wro..."
Suddenly her eyes got wide opened and her cherish expression turned into a shocked face, I turned my head to gaze upon the rock where Flamefeather was standing. The always serious and tranquil owl was now leaning on a wall, its usually soft red feathers now adopted a crimson bright color and was almost losing consciousness, breathing fast and heavily. We rushed to aid our companion, placing my hand on its face and chest I attempt to realize what could be the problem.
"Is hot, it feels like its burning"
I took all the spare water we had gathered and splashed the bird trying to low its body temperature, something that seemed to somehow soothe it. This was not good, so far the medical knowledge I had was purely for human purposes and were enough to use on taurens as well, but I didn't know how to treat an animal.
"What can we do? We gotta find someone able to find out what is happening"
Sherinda closed her eyes while caressing Flamefeather with the back of her hand.
"We need to go to Feralas, there should be a tauren encampment who could help us"
I nodded so we packed up as fast as possible and began our descend to the forest of Feralas that same night, using some ropes I tied the tired owl to my back doing my best not to stress it on our way down, it was now asleep but still agitated.
"Don't worry friend, I won't... *cough* We won't let you down!"
How long have we been walking? The dark cave didn't see to be near the end any time soon, one by one the pieces of wood were consumed by the fire leaving nothing but a trail of ashes in our path and the movement was slow and steady, we couldn't risk to find deep holes or any other kind of hazards, also Sherinda was hugging my waist with a bit trembling, with a calm look but an unease expression. The wonderful smells of the trees we left behind were no more existent, but I could notice how breathing was getting harder and figured out why... we were inside a mountain and soon my thoughts came into reality, the light of the sun touched our faces once more and in front of us a completely new view of cliffs, old trees and red earth mixed up to again delight our senses. The animals around seemed completely harmless so I remembered the words of the dark skinned elf, we had to avoid higher grounds and find a good spot to plan ahead what to do.
"These lands are like a paradise, nothing compared from my homeland"
Sherinda looked intrigued after my words, with a bit of hesitation she went ahead and asked.
"How does the place you live in looks like?"
Lordaeron... when I left my home the great castle was still holding against the ravage attacks of the dead raising from their graves, I could only hope our "holy purge" of the Stratholme city could hold the invasion long enough until Lady Proudmore could find whatever we came looking for, after all my Lord father, one of the higher ranked paladins under the commands of Uther the Lightbringer, was in charge of its defenses.
"We used to live on small towns or farms, their lands were filled with our cultives, green and prosper. But now they are nothing but decay and pestilence, something has awaken to destroy all life, but I don't know if there is something left to..."
*KREEEECK*
A loud screech echoed through the valley and Sherinda gasped taking her hands to cover her mouth. We could guess the source of that sound so stared at each other wondering if we should check it out, words weren't needed, it was like we could communicate with each other so we nodded and began checking the trees around. About 300 hundred yards away of the cave we saw a net at the branch of a tree, inside there seemed to be a big bird struggling to break free, but no matter how hard it tried the net seemed really strong so its claws and beak weren't enough.
"Hmmm what should we do? It might be someone's hunting for food"
But the tauren girl made a motion of unaproval.
"Please, please free it, we cannot leave it like that"
I had my doubts about this, there could be a chance we would make someone angry because of this, but I couldn't resist the sad look on her eyes, so I grabbed one of my knives and put it on my mouth while beginning to climb up the tree. It wasn't really high so it didn't take me long to reach the still shacking net, so putting all my strength on my legs I removed my hands from the branch, upside down I grabbed the top of the rope holding the net and cut it. The prison was now loose so the bird broke free and expanded its wings widely, waving them slowly and staring at me. It looked like an owl, but in comparison of what I had already seen it was huge, almost 4 times bigger than an ordinary owl, red feathers that blended with the environment, yellow deep eyes and rather young I'd say.
"w0w, hope you are not dangerous buddy"
I didn't think on the possibility of the bird retaliating in case it though I was the captor, in my current position I would probably get cut down to shreds, but it didn't seem to be the case as it turned around and began flying away. Phew, I thought we should watch our steps to don't fall in similar traps and I wondered who set them up. It didn't take long until I found out, upon raising my sigh, a winged humanoid figure was descending at fast speed to my position.
"RAAAARGH MY FOOD!"
My reflex made me release my legs in order to avoid the assaulting creature, landing on my right arm trying to prevent as much falling damage as possible, but I didn't have a lot of time to recover when as the swift attacks continued. I could barely dodge the strikes by rolling on the floor and I knew I wouldn't last much longer if I didn't take the initiative, grabbing my sword with my undamaged arm I timed the next charge and sliced up the face of the creature. Standing up I could know distinguish the attacker better, while it was trying to recover from my blow, sadly it was just a scratch on... her face? A woman's body with wings, feathers and claws, could this be the Harpies Sadria told me about? Either way I was not going to let her begin her strikes again so I took the chance to try and finnish it.
"ENOUGH"
The strident voice came from my back so I turned around to face the new incoming, but I got paralyzed after noticing what she was doing. Sherinda's neck was trapped between the claws of another harpy holding her on the mid air.
"YOU ARE TOO STRONG. WE TAKE THIS ONE. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER BACK YOU GIVE YOURSELF BEFORE THE BIG FIRE BALL IN THE SKY DISSAPEARS OVER THE NEST UP THE MOUNTAIN"
After yelling this both of them flew away taking Sherinda with them.
"Wait! Get back here! Wait dammit!!!!"
I was not going to tolerate this, I could guess what she meant about "before the big fire ball in the sky disappears" is to reach them before dawn, so I ran as fast as possible in search of the bitches hideout.
There was a clear path to climb up the mountains, but it was tedious for a non flying being, even though I pushed myself to reach my objective before the deadline. The sun never seemed to move as fast before and it was about to say goodbye to this day, marking the time like a giant clock and dooming me for every inch disappearing behind the mountains. Finally, I gazed upon a charred valley, trees burned down holding huge sized nest were spread all over the place with the harpies circling around them, it was hard to cross it unnoticed but, they didn't seem so vigilant anyway and after some searching around I could distinguish what it seemed to be the main nest, a big hole in the ground surrounded by the higher trees around were filled with unidentified bones and skulls spread all over the floor with animal corpses impaled with their flesh rended giving them a grim feeling. Almost all the races I found so far on these lands seemed to be of a primitive and barbaric nature, it pretty much gave me an idea how harsh this new world was, would I be able to survive here? The place seemed to be more heavily guarded than the rest, I counted around 6 harpies circling around the big nest and I noticed what could be the leader of this brood, bigger than the rest it remained still in the middle of the biggest tree with the whole body adorned with jewels, probably property of the souls now tormented around these woods. My first goal was to ensure Sherinda's safety so I had no other choice than approach the boss-bird creature in the open before the time limit was consumed, an act that gave my presence away instantly. As I slowly approached the high acute yells commenced to pierce my ears once again.
"LOOK SISTERS OUR TASTY VISITOR HAS ARRIVED"
The patrolling crew stop following their path to begin circling around me while the leader fixed her look not even moving an inch. I stop my movement to give the look back to then notice one of the harpies coming closer than the others to soon enough have its motion stop by the edge of my sword threatening her neck.
"I have come as you requested, so tell me where is the tauren before I slice you up"
The boss turned her head sightly and I followed her look, finding Sherinda laying down in a blood covered rock, probably some kind of sacrificial pit, she was unconscious yet apparently unharmed. I felt less pressure now that I knew she was ok but now a feeling of dread made me realize I just gave myself away to be feasted on, so I opened my hand to let my weapon hit the ground.
"My life for hers, promise me you will let her go"
The serious face of the big harpy now showed an expression of satisfaction. Her voice was deeper and less louder than the rest of her kind.
"We know your race human, you are not the first of you kind we capture, for days know a group of your brethren have been in a battle with a combined force of green skinned and taurens. We decided not to attack them as they were too many, yet some of them ran away from the battlefield and became an easy prey. We will let the girl go and your flesh will be consumed... but first you will provide some entertain for my daughters!"
Upon saying this, I could feel both of my hands being grasped by two claws taking them to my back and violently forcing me to sit down on the ground while other 2 ravaged my armor striping me away. A third one carried a bottle filled with a reddish liquid and before I could realize she was forcing it down my throat, making me cough and trying to spit away the unknown brewbage but then a shudder invaded my whole body and I felt paralyzed for some seconds. A rush of feelings covered me as I feel like heating up, all my muscled shivered and my heart was pumping at high speed, and in the bottom part my dick got hard as steel, venous and pulsing as if it had life itself skyrocking upwards. It was some kind of aphrodisiac, a really potent one I might add and all my senses were now heightened beyond an average human, I could feel the breathing of the harpy who was contenting me at my back, the soft wind now seemed like a hurricane on my skin, the smell of charred wood slapping my nose and my mouth could even taste the air.
The harpies were now laughing and agitated to my reaction, whispering to each other and licking their lips, one of them then took a step forward and began licking my chest up and down, taking emphasis on my nipples while another used one of my trapped arms to pleasure herself, rubbing her cunt thrusting her hips forward.
"I WILL TAKE HIM FIRST SISTERS"
I raised my sight and recognized the figure of the harpy I faced before, her face now showed a scar product of my blade. Without too much waiting she pushed her hips forward forcing my cock through her thigh labia, spreading it and going all the way in making the harpy let out a loud pleasure, trying to resist was meaningless as the drug created a huge spear between my legs so hard that felt it could last for hours. Her winged hands found a place to hold herself on my chest and her nails were getting revenge for the wound she received, scratching my pectorals leaving a trail of blood as they were moving down, the pain was huge but was inevitably mixing with the pleasure I was trying to avoid as the harpy arched her back while her hips maintained a rhythm pounding her sex against mine. Could it be because of the bizarre situation or the liquid I was forced to shallow that my member started throbbing rapidly and climaxed in a huge explosion of cum which I could even feel smashing her inner walls, filling her up until there was no space left, forcing her to get up and freeing my dick making the river of sticky juice pour out her messed up pussy. With satisfaction she began flying away finally allowing me to take a deep breath, but then I got shocked as I saw my recently milked organ grow back again to the previous state, twitching and pulsing with life as if it was asking for even more though the rest of the body was completely exhausted and before I could notice, the next bitch was already on top of me slipping her vagina screaming happily as she got impaled.
One after another, each harpy enjoyed the never ending burning stick getting their share of my man's fluids, some of them even repeated and took advantage of my mangled bloody body by their claw scratches, but my body didn't feel pain anymore, neither pleasure as all I could do is watch blurry figures jumping around waiting for their turn with their high speech hitting me as if they were putting neddles in my ears. The hours kept passing and finally the effects of whatever I had drink ran out, never feeling so tired all I could do was to raise my head just to see the matriarch approaching grabbing my chin.
"You sure have a lot of stamina and you served my brethren well, but know is time we feast in your body... another way!"
Expanding her wings and raising a couple of meters above the ground, her leg claws pointed at me and switfly charged them aiming for my neck... I closed my eyes and waited...
*KREEEECK*
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHH"
Is dead, the birdlike creature was dead lying close to me with her throat totally ravaged and above her a red feather bird with blood pouring out its claws was slowly flapping its wings.
"*Cough* You are... from before!"
It didn't take long until the rest of the harpies retaliated against the murdering beast and rushed to it from all sides, it wouldn't be able to dodge that! But then I couldn't believe my eyes, they owl was swift and like a thunder it began to dodge each strike, in comparison the harpies were clumsy slugs and were getting massacred by the winged assassin. Wait a second, did that owl actually wait untill all harpies got tired after fucking me? Could it be really be that smart? One by one they were falling at the ground and suddenly they screamed and tried to retreat, covering in defeat.
"Sherinda... Sherinda?!"
I got up with my legs trembling, trying to look around and focus my tired eyes, I could find the pit where the still sleeping tauren was lying. Upon further inspection, she was hundred percent safe so for the first time that day I could breathe feeling safe, watching our savior approaching us irradiating serenity and power as it landed in front of us.
"Thank you..."
The owl closed its eyes bowing its head.
Sherinda was resting within my arms as she was still unconscious while I walked away of that dammed charred valley. I was able to grab some armor from the remains of the unlucky men murdered by the flesh eating tribe, also some provisions, bandages and weapons which came in handy. We walked silently for about an hour and it was already late night.
"So brother, I have something to request you. See this girl? I have to take care of her for a little while but this world is filled with so much danger and I feel I could fail her at any moment. In case that happens, will you watch over her? Please come with us"
The bird let out a smooth screech and nodded its head sightly.
"Great! Then, its settle friendly owl. Oh wait... that doesn't sounds right, we need to find you a good name. Hm... I know! We can call you..."
"Don't worry Flamefeather, we are almost there"
We already recovered a good portion of the Feralas forest and we were approaching a horde settlement, so Sherinda had to take our owl friend alone inside to seek for help. We agreed to meet up later on at the north of the river, so I waited for a while walking in circles drowning on my own thoughts, hopping Flamefeather didn't get sick because it tried so hard to stay alert all nights. Then, Sherinda finally came with our common friend still at her hands and her face had no expression.
"I found a doctor at Camp Mojache and he checked out Flamefeather and he told me what the problem was..."
I started to get worried and hoped it wasn't the worst.
"Please tell me what he said!"
Then suddenly she blushed and she adopted a shy voice.
"She needs a parnet..."
For some seconds I tried to get info I just received ordered in my head... Wait a second, did Sherinda just said SHE?!
"She...?! You mean the only thing happening to Flamefeather is feeling horny?"
As I said this Sherinda took her hand to the bottom part of the owls belly and using two fingers she tossed a couple of feathers away to expose the wet and dripping bird's sex.
"This what he told me, Flamefeather belongs to a race of owls that doesn't only have relations in order to breed, they also do it for pleasuring theirselves. Their life spawn is quite higher than ordinary so you could consider her still a teenager. In other words, she hasn't be relief for more than 10 years now, that drove her into a heatning beyond normal which is not threatening her life, but having a really bad time"
Owls that needs to get pleasure? Now I had seen it all.
"So all we need to do is to find another from her kind so they can mate? If so we will go and find it quickly!"
Sherindad shook her head in negation.
"This owl race... They no longer exist. They got wiped out in the battle of the mount Hyjal where they had the majority of their kind, if there is any left it will be extremely hard to find"
I looked confused and frustrated.
"Then what are we supposed to do?"
Oh no, not those eyes, I knew Sherinda was up to something when she gave me that slutty look.
"Well we can't leave her like this right? Maybe is up to us to release the heat from her body"
The fingers that moments ago were use to show me the bird's parts were now circling around, teasing the slick wet madness then spreading the labia while skillfully caressing the inner walls. Flamefeather began to shiver letting out a silent screech while the invading fingers where forcing their way deep into her sex. The sticky fingers stopped the pleasuring job to once again spread the owls folds in an inviting way.
"Come on, your turn now"
I hesitated for one moment but then I came into reason, leaving apart any kind of moral or believing that soul needed my help and I was not going to deny it. Pressing my mouth against the recent offer my tongue hurl the insides to taste the dripping flesh, slurping every drop which had a really sweet flavor, meanwhile Sherinda undressed while holding Flamefeather with one arm and reached her backpack.
"Where the hell did you get that?"
She was holding something that resembled a two sided penis with a strange flaccid shape.
"Well... I took it from one of the crates from that goblin caravan at Mulgore, I thought it could be useful *chuckle*"
Goblins, what in the hell did they have on mind. She sat down resting her back over a tree, spreading her legs she introduced the strange object in her pussy making a squishy noise.
"Nnggg, It feels funny"
Taking the other ending she rubbed it up and down and began to slowly put it in the owl's virgin whole making her gasp and open its wings widely as Sherinda proceeded to move her hips trying to imitate a male humping. Now both of them were moaning and the bird's fluids slid all the way down following the path of the rail the new "toy" provided, mixing with the tauren's flowing juices.
"Don't stay there, let us enjoy this together my love"
I step forward and approached my throbbing cock to Sherinda's mouth, her tongue began to tease the tip and wrapped it around, meanwhile I could notice something completely different as Flamefeather joined the oral job at the bottom of my balls sack, teasing them with small and fast tongue flicks, as she pinched with her beak making me let out a gasp and arching my back releasing some drops of pre-cum which landed on the bird's cheeks.
"I think she is ready, please give her you love as you give it to me"
Taking off the item from the bird's already wide opened cunt, she took mine and pointed it to the right direction, going all the way in the thigh walls it created the loudest screech we had to yet see, but it wasn't from pain but for pure pleasure. With Sherinda holding her by the chest with both hands I began to gently pumping back and forward and the owls expression completely changed from the sickening heating to a shy and lusty eyes, letting out a soft shiver every time the last inch was inside her. I hastened as I was feeling the inner body of Flamefeather become more inviting and lubricated, also I could notice how her insides were somewhat pressing against my dick as if the bird was able to control the muscles in there, it was a strange sensation to feel such massage wich was making me reach the climax faster.
"Ahhhh I'm close!"
I pushed my hands against the tree and released my exploding member right before launching a rain of thick cum showering up both the animal and the tauren through their whole bodies, hugging each other breathing at the same time. Flamefeather fell asleep while still covered from my juice and their feathers came back to their usual soft color and her face irradiated calm and satisfaction, we definitely succeeded on her "cure"
"Was that ok for you, do you feel it was the right thing to do?"
I asked her feeling a bit guilty. She caressed the owl's head gently and nodded.
"She has always been there, vigilant while we had our fun, we have gotten little chance to ever repair her. Secret, she is our friend, tonight is our turn to stay alert so she can rest"
"Well is time to leave this forest, where should we head now?"
After one of Sherinda's (eeek) lunch, we packed up and start walking back to Thousand nedless.
"You once told me about your homeland remember? I... I would like to go and see it"
I got shocked after hearing her words. Going back to my homeland... I actually missed it a lot and would give anything to see if there was still anything left to save. Maybe just for once... I should put our lives in danger.
