So close to being unanimous not worth counting, guess I will have to try and give you something a little bit harder to chose between.

Aleoric looked at his fallen friends, Jarus was struggling onto his knees, Runo was stirring and beginning to come round. Kenia was out cold, his body limp and lifeless. The bear look up at the manticore and said the only thing he could. "Me, I am the one who led them here. I will take the punishment."

A smile spread across the human lips of the beast above him. "I had a feeling you would say that, very well. The punishment of the valley is always the same, death, but a quick one." The bear didn't get a chance to budge as the manticore swung his weapon, slicing cleanly across his neck, red blood staining his blue robes and white fur, his head rolling several feet. Jarus screamed in the background his cries of anguish brining the snake back to consciousness.

The manitcore returned to the bridge and the survivors. The horse was weeping as he held out his sword trembling, the manticore glanced at him. "Haven't enough of your friends died today?"

"You didn't have to kill him." Runo replied in a horse voice as he raised himself up. "We were no match for you, there was no need for blood."

The manitcore shrugged. "Rules of the valley old boy...snake. Attack the manticore someone has to die for it. I didn't make the rules, I am, however, forced to obey them." Returning to his original station on the bridge the beast added. "Besides, you attacked me when all I did was introduce myself."

"You forbade us passage." Jarus cried out angrily finding his voice and still holding his sword in front of him.

"No I introduced myself." The beast replied and waved his free hand at himself. "None Shall Pass, pleased to make your acquaintance."

"That's not a name!" The snake spat at him.

"It's the only one I bloody well have, that's all I got when I was created. My instructions. Of course someone did pass in the end." The beast shrugged his shoulders. "Weren't my fault after all the master set the rules and there has to be a way for the hero to win. A small tiny way."

"So there is a way past you?" Runo asked cautiously.

"Sure, just walk, once the first hero got past and plundered the tower for the... I want to say a staff, or maybe a princess... something like that. Well there was no point guarding it. Of course my master wasn't too pleased with me." The beast sighed. "Five thousand years guarding a bridge no fucker wants to cross, that's one hell of a punishment. You're the first people to come passed in a century. I know we didn't exactly get off top the best start, but you could stick around for a bit if you wanted. Have a chin wag, bury your friend and I have just about perfected the goats cheese scone."

"Scones! You kill Aleoric and then offer us SCONES!" The snake shouted, his rage finally getting the best of him, his huge tail thrashing as he tried to hold himself back.

"Well just cause I killed him, don't mean I can't be civil about it. I didn't have a choice mate and if I could turn it back without your guys playing the game..." The beast stopped himself. "Oh bugger, forget I said that."

"What's going on?" The fox awaking from his slumber muttered as his eyes finally opened.

"Not now fox. What game? Tell me about the game." Runo demanded grabbing the manticore's two huge shoulders and looking into his eyes willing him to talk.

"Your little hypo tricks won't work on me mate, not here. In this valley I got the powers of a god, powers to kill, powers to create and maybe the power to restore your friend. But there is a price and a risk." The beast said lowering his voice. "The price, well it's something obscene and graphic and the risk. Well if you lose you will live a long life, but you'll never leave this valley. If you win I'll put your buddy bear's head back on his shoulders and you four can just pop off on your merry way. Maybe you come back this way and we can all share some tea and scones. I promise after five thousand years I am a truly excellent baker."

"What do you mean put our buddy bear's head... " Kenia began to ask his eyes finding the fallen form of his friend the question got caught in his throat. His mind quickly processed what he had heard and he blurted out. "I'll play, you bring him back and I'll play whatever game you want... even backgammon."

"A Player! The first in such a long time. How about you two, care to step up to the 'insert sporting metaphor of your choice?'" The manticore's eyes gleamed as the other two nodded, and then with a click of his fingers they were whisked away and separated, to three identical bedrooms. A grand four poster bed, with white silken sheets and the smell of fresh flowers wafting on the breeze. There were no doors, windows or way out, each of the remaining companions was standing alone with the manticore, looking for the other two.

The manticore stood before each of them alone. "Now don't worry about your companions you will see them again soon, I never said it was a group game, though if the master had allowed me I'm sure it would have been fun. Still the rules are the rules and I should get to explaining. The price is, well the price is you have to service me sexually, make me cum. That's all and the risk well... "The manticore blushed deeply and pulled aside his loincloth. "My creator had a bit of a kinky side and when he was putting me together lets just say the legend of the manticore always missed our one animal. Cock of a rhino, a rather big one to take I know." The manticore let all three of them get an eyeful of his mammoth member.

"Of course taking a huge cock, well that's no easy task but not one that would stop everyone so there is a catch, you see the master made my cum a bit addictive. Ok well very addictive and you see if even the smallest drop touches your body, well you won't every leave the valley. But then you won't ever want too."

"Tea's nice, not sure how I'm drinking it since you chopped off my head, but it's nice." Aleoric said sitting in a small room with nothing but a table and two chairs, and a table laden with various cakes and baked goods. Along with a pot of tea and two cups.

The manticore sitting opposite him smiled. "Well it's ethereal tea and you're ethereal now."

"Really? Tastes more like Darjeeling." The bear replied and put his cup down, his eyes glancing over to the images on the wall, showing his friends with three identical manticores. "How, can you be here and with each of them separately at the same time, are there four of you, or are you split into four?"

"Oh nothing like that, I... don't think I can explain it, let's just say I can split into as many of me as is needed, it's not true but easier to understand than the truth. "The beast replied with a shrug and then waved at a plate on the table. "Try the cookies they are ethereal chocolate and nut. Well the cookie and the nuts are ethereal, but I'll be buggered if I use anything but real chocolate in my damn cookies."

The bear reached out and took a cookie. "You know if someone had told me that after you died there would be tea and cookies, I don't think I would have believed them."

"Yes well you may not be dead long, your friends have all agreed to play. Of course and you know the risks they face, it's not a little one. " The manticore took a sip of his tea and savoured it slowly. "Three thousand men and women became my pets before one bright spark figured out the trick. All the others, fucked me, wanked me, tried pointing my cock away and all sorts of things. When the answer was right in their faces. Rhino cock you see, I spray a lot and in multiple directions. One industrious guy spent hours making me cum without touching me only for a few drops to land on his feet."

"Of course your friends don't know that, well actually one of them does know I'll spray in multiple directions." The beast continued helping himself to a slice of cake as he did so. "Now here's the thing. I'm a nice guy and just to prove it, win or lose I'll bring you back. Now, I don't want to keep all your friends. However, the rules demanded I kill you, once they asked to play the rules say at least one of them must play. However, the rules also allow you to pick a champion. I can tell you that one of your friends has the correct solution, he knows how to keep my cum off him. The others, well, wank while pointing away and fuck from behind... they never work. So think hard, I can't give any more hints which one of your friends do you want me to play with?"

Alright, vote in comments below. There is one right answer and I think you should know enough about the three of them, and their pasts, to figure it out. However, if one of the wrong ones wins then they will be staying with the manticore for the rest of their life.
