Vox King of the Assasins

Story by Duran on SoFurry

, , , ,


The boat rocked gently as it glided threw the water. The crew went about their duties whispering among themselves about their strange passenger. He was human although you couldn't really tell, he was concealed in a heavy cloak that obscured most of his features. He sat in his room, reading over old charts not letting anyone disrupt him.

"Gotta be a Merc." one of the crew, a cat named Ged said.

"Could be an assassin," said the lizard he was speaking to.

"Whatever he his it don't matter, he's paying us well and don't make trouble," the captain said on his way to the mans room. "Vox, sir, I'm sorry to bother you but you wished to be told when we were close to port."

"Thank you captain," came a voice only a human throat could make, soft but strong, and some how, dangerous. The captain went back to the helm and guided the ship into the walled city. Vox stepped up beside him his cloak fluttering in the breeze. "Keep yer sword close, my young friend, there be dangers abound in that city," the captain said.

"I know," was all Vox said. Vox stepped off the boat and headed into town, it was a typical town, muddy, cold and wet. He walked all the way up to the castle before he was stopped by the guards.

"What business do you have here," said the one on the right a large female tiger. Vox didn't even look at her just pulled out a badge marking him as a Mercenary. The guards looked at the badge and let him through. A positively enormous woman stared down at him from the other side of the gates, Vox didn't meet her eyes.

"So, you're the new meat," she said in a rather unfeminine voice. Vox ignored her, and walked past. The 7 foot cat snarled a little but let it go. "You should pay better respect to the Captain of the Guard," she said a little upset. Vox stopped, he looked her up and down, his eyes never leaving the shadow of his cowl.

"I'm not impressed," he said and continued on. They walked though the palace gates and into the main audience room, Vox noted 5 guards, all female. A door opened at the back of the hall and a black panther female walked out in a flowing silk gown.

"Greetings Vox Faredragon," she said, "Welcome to my kingdom." Vox said nothing. "My name is Aurora Whistmantle," she said. Vox again said nothing, it was like he was patiently waiting for something. "I am sure you know of the dispute between myself and the lord of the Blackfang house across the boarder..."

"I do not talk much so listen well when I do," Vox interrupted in a voice not much above a whisper. "You hired me because I am the best there is, and my patients is growing thin, now do you have a job for me or not," he said the last a little more aggressively. Aurora chuckled to herself.

"Well yes actually I do, you will be my personal salve for the remainder of your life, you will attend my needs at my so urging, never setting foot outside my palace again," she said. Vox stood where he was for a moment, then threw his head back and laughed. "I assure you this is not a joke," Aurora said with a slight smirk on her face. "You are surrounded," she pointed out, "and out numbered."

The large woman made a grab for the sword on his back. Fast as lightning Vox stopped laughing and snatched her hand by the wrist and started to squeeze. The Captain of the Guard cried out in pain and dropped heavily to one knee. Vox then lifted her up with on hand into the air, the Guard Captain looked perplexed, she was almost 250 pounds of pure muscle. With the slightest effort Vox hurled the burly cat into the far wall making an impression of her body in the stone.

"Take him," Aurora said. Faster then anyone in the room could see 4 draggers appeared in-between the knuckles of his right hand. He hurled them all at once at the charging guards. Four dull thuds sounded almost as one as four unlucky women hit the ground, dagger hilts protruding from their throats.

The final guard hesitated for a second seeing this. In that time Vox had drawn, not a large broad sword from the scabbard on his back but a single 1-handed saber. A second shot from the bottom of the scabbard upward into the air, and into Vox's hand as it feel back down to earth. In a flash Vox was behind the charging guard his back to her, and blood dripping from both swords. The guard's head fell severed at the neck, then her chest at the waist.

"Your first mistake, was posting only 5 guards, it would have taken at least 20 to subdue me," Vox said coldly. "Your second, was relying on women to distract me, and your third and this is what really matters," Vox said pulling back his cowl, revealing small horns protruding from his forehead, curling back making it look like he wore a crown. "Was underestimating the King of Assassins." He glared at her with his human body and human face, but his eyes were the eyes of a demon, red as blood with slits for pupils. Aurora looked scared, as well she should have been. She was trembling from head to foot, looking at her dead guards.

"Vexra," Aurora cried. The bulky cat got up from her seated position, "KILL THIS THING," she shrieked. The big cat started to charge. Vox tossed off his cloak reveling shining black plate mail, and black leathery wings protruding from his shoulder blades. He began to chant words in a tongue neither the Cat nor her mistress had ever heard before. As he chanted a ball of what can only be described as darkness began to grow in his hand. Vox had stopped chanting and, holding the ball in both hands reached back behind him pointing his shoulder at this truly unfortunate cat.

"ANIHALATE" he cried an a demonic voice, thrusting his hands forward with his palms facing his target. A jet of the blackest black one can imagine fired from the ball in his hands. The beam hit the cat in the chest reducing her to nothing, she didn't even have time to shriek. The beam continued on and collided with the palace wall blowing a 10 foot hole in it.

"Monster," Aurora whimpered cowering in her throne. Vox looked at her with pity.

"Am I? Last I checked, you were the one who wanted me as a love toy. You who holds hundreds of men hostage, allowing your warrior women to ravage and beat them. Tearing them from their mothers, there lovers, their wives and children, and yet you enjoy them like objects, put on this earth to please you." Vox leaned in close to her, so they were face to face," Just who is the monster here?" he whispered to her.

Minutes later the cells and cadges of the palace we thrown open letting the occupants flood out from their bondage. Vox strode to the balcony overlooking the city with Aurora being drug in her undergarments at is feet.

"The Amazon Queen rules no more," he called out over the horde below him, "Now she will know servitude and bondage. I hereby free all slaves, any who wish may join me, all are welcome, even toughs who once served the Amazon Queen." A cheer erupted from down below.

"And now how are you any different from me," Aurora asked.

"Because, I take no slaves," he said cutting her bonds. "You are free to go," he said truing to go, "or, you can come with me. Start anew and be cleansed of all past sins," Vox said.

"As if your men wouldn't kill me on sight," she spat.

"Many of my men, and women, were once exactly like you in every way, some were worse," he said, "But, as God forgives all sins, so shall I, if asked to do so."

Aurora looked up at Vox, and saw not anger, or hate, not lust, or any other of the emotions that had been cast on her in her whole life, she saw a cool unwavering resolve, she nodded. Vox held out his hand, she accepted, letting him lift her to her feet. Vox handed her his cloak as they walked back into the palace.

"Are you sure you want to come with me," Vox asked, "the road is long and hard." Aurora nodded.

"This is something I need to do, I have nowhere else to go," she said profoundly calm.

"Very well then make ready to leave, and bring a weapon you will need it," Vox said in cool tones.

****************

A few weeks later found Vox alone with Aurora, hiking trough a mountain pass. None of the freed slaves had wanted to join Vox, he didn't really blame them, he was sure they just wanted to go home. Vox had spent the trip in silence., walking in front in his black plate, his demons wings folded behind his back Aurora had taken the time to truly reflect on her time as a ruler, she felt unbelievably dirty. What in the black abyss had she been thinking. She was sincerely thankful to Vox, this man-demon, he had saved her from becoming truly monstrous.

"We should make camp, it will be dark soon." Vox said as the sun began to set. He dropped his pack and started pitching the tent.

"Vox, Why do you have Demon attributes," Aurora asked. Vox gave a heavy sigh, as if he had been waiting for that very question.

"The story goes, that my father was seduced by a Demoness, long story short they fell in love and here I am," he said. He finished then tent and stepped in. He laid out his bedroll and stated to strip off his armor, starting with his greaves, then his shoulders. He used extra caution when taking off his breast plate, making sure not to tare the membrane of his wings.

Aurora opened the tent flaps and was, like every night astounded at just how attractive he was. She could see muscles ripple under his shirt and on his arms and legs. She was not ashamed to admit he turned her on, but new he would never accept her, he seemed distant in that respect. She made a decision, she would make a move on him.

She slid off her leaver armor, having only her underwear underneath, and laid down next to his bedroll. Vox didn't even notice. She furrowed her brow in frustration, she had an idea. She sat up on her knees and started to massage his shoulders. She felt his muscles relax and he gave a sigh.

"Oh, thank you I needed this," Vox said, "Lower, please, my wings are killing me," he said. Aurora shifted her hands to the base of his wings. He unfolded them letting them stretch and felling his tense muscles relax. "You are really good with you hands," Vox said.

"You should try my legs," Aurora said in a sexy voice. Vox looked over his shoulder with an odd look on his face. She gave him a playful smile and a little giggle, "Well wanna see," she asked playfully. To entice him she gave him a long lick up his neck, she got her desired result. She felt a shudder run up his back, but it wasn't a pleasurable one.

Vox could feel his eyes glowing, his fingers were looking more gruesome by the second, shot to his feet and barreled out of the tent fighting for control of himself. He let out a growl as fangs sprouted from his canines. Aurora stepped out of the tent just as Vox was regaining control.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to upset you, I just.."

"No," he rasped, "It's not you, any stimulation has been setting it off lately," he said.

"I am sorry, I was just being..."

"I know," Vox said, "It was flattering, and you are good with your hands" The black fur on Aurora's face turned red under her eyes. Vox smiled, "Get some rest we have another big day ahead of us tomorrow," Aurora nodded. Vox looked up at the moon taking in deep breaths, the pain in his body was ebbing away. "She is beautiful," he said to himself.

"Yes she is," said a dark demonic voice in his head.

****************************

As the weeks past Vox noticed his eyes drifting to Aurora's body more and more often. He also noticed her eyes would drift to him. She was a totally different person then the woman he had meet toughs many weeks ago in the palace, she had changed. Something about her seemed to arrest his demonic passions, he had not had a flare up of his other self since that night in the tent. They were almost to Vox's castle, about a day or so away. Vox stopped on the road, looking around.

"What is it," Aurora asked.

"We're not alone," Vox responded. "I suggest you draw your weapon."

As if on queue dozens of figures dropped from the pass walls, all women, Vox noted grimly. They all drew weapons of different makes and models.

"My Queen your rescue is at hand," Boomed a voice from an outcropping overlooking the pass. Vox's gave shot back to Aurora.

"You!" he cried drawing his weapons, he counted at lest thirty, and he was sure there were more lying in wait, but it didn't matter, he would rather die then be a slave. He bounced uneasily from foot to foot. "Fuck it," he said out load. With lightning speed he shot toward the nearest solders ending there lives with clean swings of his blades.

"No stop, I command you to stop," Aurora cried tears welling in her eyes. Vox assumed she was yelling at him but could have cared less and continued to carve a bloody path trough the enemy ranks.

"I am such a fool," ht thought to himself, "I trusted her, I let my guard down for her, I might have even fallen for her," which only made the though of her betrayal sting all the more. Vox was making no headway, there were simply too many of them, for every worrier he cut down, two more took her place. Eventually it became to much and Vox was subdued.

He was on his knees being held there by no less the 4 worriers. The woman who had spoken from the outcropping approached. She was a large fox powerfully built with huge legs and arms.

"You thought we would let you escape with our Queen," she smirked.

"Nisa," it was Aurora's voice," stop I went of my own free will,"

"He has obviously put you under a spell, my queen, but he will remove it," She glared back at him. Vox herd the loud twang of a bow he knew all too well, and in short order one of the solders holding him down fell to the ground with an arrow shaft from her throat.

Vosh your timing is impeccable," He called. Vox swept his arm sending two of his captures flying into the air. He reach around with the same hand connecting his fist with the tigers face, he felt something snap, that solder never got up again.

A human woman with oddly pointed ears stood on top of the pass raining death on toughs below her. Vosh was taking careful aim and dropping whoever was insight. With a quick hand signal several others joined her hurling missiles at the enemy.

The dust settled, Nisa, Aurora, and a scant few of her warriors knelt at his feet. The ranges from above were sprinting toward him.

"My Lord the Generals been hit," called the lead. Without hesitating Vox spread his wings and flew to Vosh's side.

Vosh, Vosh," he said. She was laying on her back with a shaft protruding from her right breast, she was still conscious.

"I'm here My Lord," she said weekly. Vox ran to her falling to his knees and gripping her hand.

"Oh what a shame," he said with tears running down his face, "and you had such perfect breasts too," She laughed lightly.

She looked at him as the light started to leave her eyes, "It was an honor to serve you Vox," she said, "Ever since the day you saved me, I have loved you." Vox could not hold back his tears.

"I love you too," he said, it wasn't entirely true, but he wanted her last moments to be happy. He leaned forward and kissed her gently as her last breath entered him mouth. Vox held her head to his chest, he may not have loved her but she was still his closest friend. "No, no Vosh," he sobbed, "Don't leave me, please don't leave me, I still need you, I need your strength," he stated to openly cry. "VOSH" he screamed at the top of his lungs spreading his wings, releasing waves of black and white energy. The mountain sides began to crumble and the earth shook at the release of such power.

In his agonized cry Vox had not notice the white and black tendrils wrapping around the arrow shaft and pulling it lose, then moving on to stitch the skin of Vosh's wound back together. Vosh took in a sharp breath opening her eyes. Vox looked down in agony at his lost Ranger General, and closest friend, to see her eyes open and her chest rising and falling.

" Vosh" he cried wrapping her in his arms, Vosh was at first surprised she was alive at all, then deeply embarrassed at what she had told her lord and the way he was holding her. She could feel the skin on her face go from olive to crimson as Vox held her close. The rangers around them looked on in aw, had they really just seen their lord bring their beloved General back from the land of the dead.

Vox released Vosh and strode away opening his wings and fluttering down to stand before his enemies. He landed gracefully glaring at the two women in front of him. Aurora looked up with red eyes, a sharp contrast to her black fur.

"Is your friend ok," she asked, her general looked rather shocked that she cared.

"Yes no thanks to you," he said. Vox was deep in thought, he was angry, this woman had betrayed him, or so he thought. What was he to do, if he executed her he would be going against his own laws, but if he let her go, what further damage might she do. Vox drew his sword and started to pace, Vosh had found her way down to him and saw him with his sword drawn.

"Vox," she said.

"I know."

"Vox," she repeated.

"I KNOW," Vox shouted. "AHHHH," he cried lifting his sword above his head. Nisa closed her eyes expecting death. Vox brought his sword down, severing her bonds. Nisa looked up confused, "Get out of my sight," Vox said with venom, "and if I ever see you again, I'll kill you." The rangers cut the bonds of the other prisoners, who got up and took off down the path, only Aurora stayed on her knees.

"My Lady," Nisa said looking back.

"Go, I'm staying here, I never asked for a rescue, and I still don't want one."

Vox looked at her, could she be lying, his head told him so but his heart said otherwise. He signaled Vosh over and stepped out of earshot of the rangers.

"My head tells me not to trust her, but my heart says to give her a second chance, which do I listen to," he asked his eyes on his feet. She put her hand on his arm.

"Which let you trust me," she asked plainly. Vox looked up and smiled.

"I am truly gifted to have you at my side," he told her softly. Then turning he said, "I have decided to trust you, now men, lets go home," the rangers cheered and headed out in the direction of their home. Vox was still unsure as to her motives ,gut his heart told him she was being truthful, and it had not lied to him yet.

************************

Castle Fairdragon was an imposing structure to say the lest. Carved from the living rock of the mountains, it resembled something out of a horror story. Sharp towers rose out of the keep like jagged spears, they battlements were topped with snarling stone demons that looked as though they would take wing at any second.

The interior of the keep was a sharp contrast to the exterior. It was covered in beautiful tapestries and carpets. The rooms were all lavishly decorated with fine furs and silks. Contrary to the appearance the castle held heat very well and because of its lofty position in the mountains it never got very hot in the summer.

The night of the groups arrival found Vox high in his tower room in a finely crafted ivory tub, his back being gently washed by a member of his harem. Yes Vox has a harem, his however was different, his were not slave girls, but willing, some overly so, volunteers. Sasha was a young cheetah whom Vox had saved as a child from her abusive Lord.

"So," she purred, "is there anything else I can do for you tonight." Vox was deep in thought and hadn't heard her. She rubbed his chest with the soft pads of her paw, still no reaction. "My Lord, are you alright." Vox finally acknowledge her existence by putting his hand over her paw.

"No Sasha, I am so confused," he said with sad tones. "Am I a good man, is it right for all of you to be here." With the agility of her feline ancestry she walked around to face him and slapped him across the face.

"How can you question that," she said, Vox holding a red patch on his cheek looking rather stunned. "You have rescued each and every one of us from Lords and masters that would have seen us used tell broken then tossed out to die slowly," she said. "There is not a women in this castle that does not want to be with you, no man who does not want to be like you." She leaned in and licked the red patch on his cheek she had slapped minutes before.

"Sasha," Vox said softly, "Thank you." He reached up and stroked the soft fur on her face. "Would you stay with me tonight, I don't wish to sleep alone." Sasha practically squealed in delight. After she had regained control of herself she answered.

"Certainly, my Lord," she said with a strait face, "It is what we are her for." Vox stepped out of the tub and took hood or her hips guiding her over to his large soft bed. Vox kissed her lightly on the lips, she retched behind her and undid the clasp of her silky dress, letting it fall from her slender frame. He laid her down on his bed. She giggled, he so rarely called on his harem for sexual pleasures that only a very few of his modest harem had known his touch. This is not to say he did not find them attractive, quite the opposite, he simply was gone to much to ask for there service.

"You know, you could have said no," Vox said looking down at her soft face.

"I know, but I would have to be a damn fool to turn you down, My Lord," she replied.

"Please, at lest for tonight, call me Vox," he said soothingly. He let his body fall to hers as she wrapped her arms around him. The feeling of her silky fur against his scared skin was like being encompassed in a cloud. Vox kissed her neck causing her to purr deep in her throat, she ran her padded hands up and down his back, being careful not to aggravate his wings. She tracing ancient battle scars that sent shivers up his back and caused his wings to spread.

Vox felt a fluffy tail tickle his genitals, causing him to giggle a little. Vox went to Sasha's small but firm breasts, in truth Vox thought they fit her perfectly, large breasts on such a slim frame would have looked strange. He nuzzled a pink nipple causing Sasha to moan.

"No Vox, I should be..."

"Shhhh, just relax and enjoy this, you have more then earned it," Vox said softly. Sasha groaned in delight. Vox slid down he body spreading her velvety legs to reveal very moist lips. Vox kissed around her opening causing Sasha's breath to quicken. He could feel fury fingers in his hair and new she was in heaven.

"Take me Vox, please, you don't have to..." she was cut off by her own sharp breath. "Do that again" she breathed forgetting her previous statement. Vox was more then happy to oblige, these girls may love him, but he felt he owed them for something, and he was more than willing to pay them back, and then some.

Vox sunk his tongue into her letting her sweet taste wash over him. If there was any time he was happy he was part Demon it was now, his overly long tongue had the ability to stretch to in human lengths, allowing him to probe her darkest depths. Sasha stated to buck against his face involuntarily, beginning to lose control over herself. He could feel her walls tighten on him as she was near her peek. With one final thrust of his tongue she was thrust of the cliff into an abyss of utter bliss.

"Vox," she cried out, flooding his face with her nectar. "I am sorry Vox I couldn't hold back," she cried. Vox looked up at her, her juices still covering his face, and laughed.

"It's ok, Sasha, wanted to give that gift to you," he said with a big smile on his face. Sasha, feeling guilty about cuming so hard in his face, cleaned him off.

"It is my turn to please you now," Sasha said with a smile and laid him on his back. She kissed him once then ran her tongue down his body. She only stopped when she reached his member, taking it in her hand she started to rube up and down, licking the very tip. Vox's whole body shook at her touch, she was definitely skilled at what she was doing.

Sasha started to let her tongue roam around his shaft and balls. When Vox thought he was going to loose it she took his entire 6 inches into her mouth. God she was good, She started to bob up and down on him with her head.

"Sasha, if you keep this up I'm gunna," he began. Sasha released him and said.

"That's the point," then took him in again. This time she went all the way down the his hilt, he could feel himself pass into her throat. She then slowly came back up running her tongue on the underside of his man hood. That was all he could take, he released his seed into her mouth only to have it be drunk down hungrily. She sucked on his shaft, taking all he had into her, and loving every second of it.

"You taste better," she said looking up at him having not spilled a drop. Sasha got up on her knees and positioned his pulsing shaft just out of reach of her hungry lips. Slowly she lowered herself onto him gasping in bliss as he spread her needy cunt.

She started to ride him building a rhythm, slow at first, but deep and powerful. Vox started to buck his hips to her pass causing her to moan loudly. Vox watched her cut breasts bounce as she bobbed up and down on his rod. With Vox's demon strength he flipped her over and got behind her. Grabbing her hips and lifting her tail he plunged into her with a force he had yet to show her, she loved every second.

"Oh Vox, you feel so good inside me, AHHH, don't ever stop," she said gripping the bed sheets in ecstasy. Vox continued to pound away at her Vox slowly started to speed up, even as she tightened around him. "Yes, yes, YES," she cried, "Make me your slave, your bitch, I don't care just fuck me harder," Vox obliged shoving in harder, making her scream. Vox couldn't hold back anymore, he erupted inside her filling her with a single blast.

"Yes Fill me with your seed, I want it all," she cried as he fired again coating the inside of her thighs. With his final blast she was pushed over flooding the bed beneath her as she screamed his name. Vox fell to the bed utterly spent. Sasha turned to face him, causing him to slid out with a loud pop.

"I have never felt love like that," she said falling to sleep. Vox stroked the fur of her face and ears.

"Thank you Sasha, I needed this" he told her sleeping from, fallowing her to sweet oblivion.

******************************

Vox woke the following morning, leaving Sasha's arms with the guile his demon blood gave him and made his way to Aurora's room. He knocked twice and entered, Aurora sat on her bed, looking forlorn.

"I have decided to trust you," he said. "I figure, there were plenty of easer opportunities to kill me when we were alone, all is forgiven." Aurora's face lit up, she was overjoyed to hear she was once again in his favor. "I have no dire use for you right now, so feel free to help were you can," he said turning to leave.

"Wait," she called, "I am gifted in the....pleasurable arena," she said, sitting in a way to accent her body's curves. Vox thought his heart skipped a beat, she was so very beautiful. "As you yourself said, I am very good with my hands, and as I said, I am even better with my legs." Vox felt a shiver go down his spine.

"Very well, you may speak with either Sophia or Sage for harem or escort openings," Vox said with a slight quiver in his voice. Aurora nodded and winked as he closed the door, he needed a drink.

"Good morning My Lord, sleep well," she asked knowing full well how he had slept.

"Is it that obvious," he asked.

"My Lord the whole castle heard Sasha last night," Vosh said laughing. Vox turned red, "Hey calm down, thanks to you two no one heard me last night," she said smiling, Vox laughed. He preyed to what ever god was out there that the young man Vosh had last night had good stamina. Although she would tell no one, Vosh had wished beyond hope that Vox had been with her last night, she loved him so much, every woman in the castle did. And like the man he was, he was completely oblivious to that fact.

Contrary to Vosh's belief, Vox new full well how much the women under his command and protection wanted him. It was that exact reason he was so distant from them, he would not allow himself to take advantage of their, in his eyes misplaced, affection. No he would not become that which he fought to ride the world of.
