I was lost after about half a minute, but Alduin seemed to know where he was going, and I trusted his judgement.The others had gone elsewhere, and I spoke to Alduin about this. He shrugged.

"The food store is a popular option, the gymnasium, our research and development labs, the VR room, it doesn't really matter."

He said it all so casually.

"And is it true that people indulge in sexual jokes tomorrow?"

Alduin stopped dead, looking surprised.

"Oh, I completely forgot about that, Ryan. Cheers for reminding me. April Fools is an option to make fun of everyone else in said sexual manner, and I would suggest..."

"Alecto already warned me against drinking anything offered." I said helpfully.

"Sensible. Also, do not drink anything but water, or any of our own drinks offered to you here."

"Why, what happened?"

"I drunk what they call medonas, and had to restrained due to my hallucinations. Armed and insane, not a good combination."

"What was in it?"

"We are very delicate, we can't stomach many things here. Humans are better with food, but even so I had a draconic dessert a couple of weeks ago, Draco dared me, and I was sick for days."

Then my heart stopped completely. As we were walking down the passage, a hovering light appeared around the corner.

Easily seven foot tall, and about an inch or so off the ground, they were shaped like a rugby ball, except they appeared to have no body what so ever. The centre was brighter, almost white, but the outside edges of the glowing light were a hypnotic gold. Alduin grabbed my arm, and pulled me aside, looking nervous.

"Evening, glower." he stuttered. This was Alduin, stuttering? The glower pulsed gently as he approached.

"You have brought another human here?" the glower appeared to sigh,"How tiresome.At this rate, Master Alduin, we shall have to make Central bigger." he conjured a necklace from nowhere, and Alduin caught it, slipping it over my neck. I looked at the necklace, and then shrugged.

"Sorry, glower." The glowing being wafted past me, and I could feel immense power caressing at my arms, and I involuntarily shuddered.

The glower chuckled." We don't mind more scouts, as long as they're useful, it's just scouts need room, and that means us having to work to make more."

"This one is useful, glower." Alduin said, as it continued down the passage. He was sweating slightly.

"Did I say otherwise?" the glower asked innocently, and then it turned the corner. Alduin leaned against the wall, breathing out deeply.

"What was that, Alduin?" I asked, slightly worried.

"That, or those, are the glowing creatures I spoke of earlier. They have the ability to short cut anything, create almost anything, and if they get angry, well, I was there when one of them vaporised twelve demonic creatures, it was not something I want to be facing."

"What's so dangerous about it?"

"You've heard of gods, with limitless powers, the power of life and death over anything in the known universe?"

"Oh yes." I nodded, and Alduin breathed deeply.

"Those creatures are mortal, but they have all powers, and have a mind of their own. To touch one of them is instant pain, to walk through one means agony.Silverine, he's terrified of them, Draco, Val, anyone you care to name."

"Oh." I said hollowly. I suddenly had a feeling I didn't want to meet one of them when they were angry.These harmless looking orbs of light scared Silverine, just by being there? I hoped to god they were mild mannered.

We arrived at a door, which Alduin opened and entered through. A black wolf with purple highlights through his fur and amethyst eyes looked up, he was reading a book. He got to his feet quickly, and stepped forwards, arms wide in a embrace. Alduin returned it, and they hugged one another passionately. They kissed, and I suddenly felt embarrassed so close to their intimate moment.

"Alduin, good to see you."

"Likewise Doran. What are you doing in my quarters?"

"I was going to ask about a prank for tomorrow. Draco says he's got one planned for me, and knowing that dragon, I do not want to know."

Alduin laughed,"With the prank I've got in plan, I wouldn't be surprised if Draco was busy all morning." He clapped a hand in an encouraging fashion on the back of the wolf, who winced slightly. Then he spotted me.

"Oh, we have dinner?"

O.K., now I was scared. The wolves here so far was the one called Javid, of whom I had a fleeting glimpse, Silverine, and he was terrifying, and now Doran. I backed away, looking for something heavy.

Alduin laughed, as Doran truly howled with laughter. I flushed, and Alduin, trying to wipe tears of merriment away from his eyes, managed to reply.

"No, Doran, this is Ryan Lewis, he found out about us, and seems to be interested in scouting. I thought we might test him."

"And so what happens when he is not up to Central standard?" the wolf smiled evilly.

"Well, you said you wanted a human sex slave." Alduin chuckled.

O.K., they were teasing me, but I rose to the bait anyway.

"I do know how to use a sword." I said straightly at the wolf.

"And I know how to use an RPG, swords are outdated." Alduin replied, laughing.

Doran nodded at me with a smile, and then turned to Alduin.

"What did you have in plan for Draco?"

Alduin whispered something in Doran's ear. The wolf looked surprised.

"You evil little genius." he clapped his paws together.

"If it works, of course, he's not going to be happy, but rather that than half of us getting bondaged before midday." Alduin looked at his fingers, still crying with the laughter.

"Talk about sex slave, Draco would keep us tied up til next week." Doran shivered with the thought.

"You mean like you would with me?" I shot this remark at the wolf, and he managed to put on a wounded expression with a grin.

"Now, Ryan, that's all boasting.Draco would, I certainly wouldn't, although I like a bit of domination. The problem is the only humans here are Alduin, who keeps on beating me, and Alex, who's partly draconic and partly magical."

"I warned you the last time, Doran," Alduin looked upwards innocently," I wrestle Draco for dominance, you are not a problem."

I had heard this last line before, from Draco himself. They wrestled to see who gets to top? God help.But this comment only got Doran to turn and physically leap at Alduin.The human went down under the weight of the wolf.

I made to rush forwards, but Alduin immediately rolled sideways, and the two of them bumped off the table, a wall, and a set of drawers before Alduin ended up on top.

"My pet wolf's not learned his trick?" Alduin put on a wounded tone.

"I am not your pet!" Doran wrestled furiously, and Alduin rolled sideways as the wolf heaved himself up.They stood looking at one another in contemplation.Doran was looking at the lithe human in a way I could only describe as ravenous, and Alduin was looking at the wolf with a sparkle in his eye and a chuckle.

"There will come a time when I do beat you, Alduin."

"No doubt there will be, Doran.But until then, you have not beaten me once."

"Call me pet again, I will use my claws."

"Excellent, I always wanted to see what would happen if I shafted someone in my bionic form." Alduin kept up the banter with apparent ease. I looked confused, bionic form?

"Alduin, what does Doran mean by bionic form?"

Alduin turned to me." I had robotic DNA forcibly inserted into me on one of the planets we visited.What I normally look like is a human with steel skin, but I can look normal, and can also change into forms."

"Can I see it?" I asked, stepping forwards. Alduin obliged, and suddenly his skin rippled and turned silver. I rapped a knuckle against his forearm, and it rang eerily.

There was a heavy weight across my back, and I fell to the floor under the weight of Doran. Alduin stepped aside like a magician, easily avoiding the fracas, and I tried to get up, the wolf grabbed my arms, pinning me.

"You hit the wrong target." Alduin said, leaning over the panting wolf.

"I want to fuck a human, and as you aren't letting me..."

"Hey, I never said I didn't want to, I'm just not submitting to you."The weight was removed, and there was a yip from Doran as Alduin grabbed him around the waist and hauled him up, facing away.

"No fair!" Doran protesting, kicking. Alduin held him easily.

"The other option is I could do that prank on you instead of Draco." he suggested.

"No, master!" Doran went limp, and Alduin let go. The wolf seemed slightly pale at whatever threat Alduin had suggested, and the human smiled.

"Doran, I've got to prepare said prank, I'm not going to do it on you."

"There's something at least." the wolf rolled his eyes.

"Does Alduin ever submit?"I asked. Alduin laughed.

"Draco, Devlin before he left, Silverine and Valmeero.Everyone else I don't mind fucking me, but I can hold everyone else from doing so. He opened a door, and we found ourselves in a room with two nine foot beds in it.

"Draco and Simba's room."Alduin explained, going over to a wardrobe. There were towels and trousers, and one or two shirts. The colours suggested it belonged to Draco and this was also proved because I was looking at the tall long sword in the closet.

Alduin pulled out a spray trigger, and took a step back, aiming the nozzle at the closet's contents. He lifted a hand to cover his mouth and nose, and began spraying the clear liquid. It was odourless, and didn't make any difference to the clothes, but after half a minute the human shut the door, satisfied.

"I'll octobond it later, the job is done." he smiled. We walked out, and Doran was shivering with anticipation as Alduin went into a very plain but large bathroom.There was a shower, a toilet, sink, drawers, towel rail, and a very ornate set of panelling covering every wall and the ceiling.

Alduin touched a panel.

"Now, Ryan, this is one of our little creatures we befriended. We call it a tentacle monster, for various reasons. It enjoys sex, and also making others delighted from sex, but listens to our requests. To talk to one, you just have to be holding one of it's tentacles."

As he finished, a series of panels opened, and about five long, dark red tentacles slid out, they were all about as thick as three inches.

One of them gently snaked over to Alduin, one to me, one to Doran, and the other two hung back. One them coiled around Alduin's arm, and he closed his eyes, mentally speaking to the creature.Doran took a careful step back, he had no wish to be held or even touched by the tentacle. The one coming to me rose and wrapped around my arm several times, the end of the tentacle on my shoulder.

"Alduin, I don't like this much." I said, feeling the tentacle's firm grip through my shirt. I gently pulled at the tentacle, but it seemed loathe to let go.

Alduin opened his eyes, and looked at me.

"It thinks you want to have some sex. We opened the panel, it thinks it is needed, and asks each person what they want.Unless of course you're not concentrating, in which case it thinks you just want sex.

"But I don't."

"Then take hold of it and think so." he replied, and then closed his eyes. I used my free hand to take hold of the part of the tentacle around my upper arm. It felt soft, and slightly slippery as if personally lubricated.

Dumb thing to say. It liked to have sex, it provided it's own lubrication.But it felt slightly greasy, yet when I pulled my fingers away, they seemed perfectly dry. I took a firm hold on the eerie texture of the tentacle, and tried to think a message to the creature.

"You are the tentacle monster I have heard so much about?" I said, and a soft voice replied.

"Yes, what is your intention?"

"I have no wish to have sex." I thought weakly, feeling it shift.

"Speak up, I didn't catch that." it thought back.

"I don't want to have sex right now, thank you."I thought a little more firmly.

"Then why did you open up the panel?"

"I didn't, Alduin wanted to talk to you, and I wanted to see what you looked like."

The tentacle shivered gently, but it seemed to be uncoiling."And?"

"I would like to have it off with you, but not right now." I said, realising it wasn't something to anger.

"Very well, Ryan, I am very patient." the tentacle uncoiled, and retracted. Doran was hiding behind a towel, or rather he was holding the towel in front of him, and the tentacle was hanging in puzzlement.

They were large towels. a very nice creamy colour, and the one Doran was holding had outlines of starfish and other beach/sea things. If you dropped that towel on the beach, you'd never find it again. Doran was holding the towel like a matador though.

"Just say you don't want to have sex with it, Doran." I suggested.

"It took me in there once, and gave me it's full attention. I was a white wolf with black stripes until I got into a shower." he replied, backing a step as the tentacle advanced further.

Alduin gently let go of his tentacle, and the remaining tentacles disappeared, and the panel closed, except for one. Doran breathed a sigh of relief, and placed the towel back on the towel rail. Alduin grinned at me.

It was late, and before long we had two people arrive, although Alduin disappeared briefly into Draco's room. One was Draco, and the other a fierce looking lion. This was Simba, as Alduin had explained, and his manner and conversation was a lot different from his looks.

"Good evening Ryan, welcome to Central." he said, his voice had a semi purr to it. I bowed slightly.

"Thank you, Simba, it's definitely, um, new." I managed to find a word, and Draco laughed as he walked into his bedroom.

"I'll see you guys in the morning." he called gaily, and shut the door for decency's sake. Simba rolled his eyes.

"Ah yes, I sometimes wish we hadn't heard about April Fools." he smiled at me.

"What's the reasoning for everyone?"

"The scouts like a good joke, a prank or anything that will make them laugh.April Fools means they can get away with some of the most evil tricks, and humiliate everyone, and be safe after lunch time.

"I see." I nodded, as Simba yawned, his two larger canines exposed clearly. He looked tired, and walked through the door to the dragon's room.

"If he's tired, why's he sleeping in the same room as Draco?" I asked Alduin. The human laughed, switching into his bionic form.

"Simba and Draco have worked together for countless years, getting each out of the nastiest fixes. If Simba is tired, Draco will let him rest. Their respect for each other in endless."

"Did Simba save the dragon's life?"

"Several times, once quite recently.But the dragon's done the same for Simba, they would hate to explore without the other."

"So what now?" I asked, and he smiled.

"It's night time, what do people do at night?" he suggested.

"Sleep I suppose.Which bunk is mine?" he led me into his room, which held three beds. He pointed at each bed in turn.

"I call bottom bunk, Salbar sleeps on top, and Javid has the single bed." he indicated. Personal effects were few and far between, but there was a small chest of drawers next to both bunk and single bed. Alduin had no effects on the top of the drawer, instead there were miniature carvings which looked very nice.

"Salbar carves them, he did one for me, I wish I had his skill." Alduin replied. The drawer beside the single bed had a picture of a white wolf and a standard old school revolver.

"Javid's a colonel in his army, I don't have to tell you what that means about his tidiness and care. He has a perfectly ironed service uniform in his bottom drawer, and another gun underneath that. He's always looking out for himself, and keeping something to hand."

"So which bed am I sleeping in?"

"Pick.Both are away on their home planets, Javid wanted to discuss Covington's secret weapon with the wolf himself, and Salbar is doing a regular prayer day with the Elders, or wise ones on his planet.Not to mention doing his daily ritualistic purification of his swords."

"Uhhh, Alduin, I don't like the idea of sleeping in either a lizard or a wolf's bed.It's their bed, and being away doesn't make a difference."

"You respect a person's space, very respectful, but short of sleeping on the floor..."

"What about sleeping with you?"

"I'll go with that. I sleep to the wall, mind you, so I hope you don't roll." he looked perfectly natural about the suggestion. I smiled at the idea.

"I don't roll at all."

"No problem then.If you can't get off to sleep though, I keep my blaster on the bureau on a two setting, which will easily keep you out for the night."

Blast myself into unconsciousness? There's a worrying thought. I began stripping down, and noticed Alduin wasn't.

"Do you sleep in your clothes?" I asked him, as I pulled off my shirt. He smiled.

"Watch this."

He changed. Suddenly there was a huge metallic creature standing there. Easily eight foot tall, it stood on three legs, and each foot was three pronged, one directly at the back, the other two slightly forward and wide apart.These legs were eight foot tall, and then they were joined to a complex joining section, to a shorter steel length that was attached to the body. It looked slightly like a horizontal tear drop, but saying that would probably get me in trouble. His eyes glowed bright red, and a nasty looking nozzle like a machine gun hung just underneath the bottom of the front of the hemisphere.

Then he changed back, and Alduin was standing there. Furthermore, he was naked! How did he stunt that one?I didn't bother asking, but I did comment on his form.

"That looks terrifying."

"It's meant to.Just a pity it's vulnerable to intense heat and explosions, and doesn't work submerged in water. And it flies like a brick." he added, as I finished stripping. He got into the bottom bunk bed, and held up the duvet and blanket so I could crawl in beside him.

The light went out, and I spoke to Alduin in the darkness.

"Alduin?"

"Yeah?"

"How on Earth are you used to this? It's all so different." I felt him shuffle, although I could no longer see him.

"I used to be nervous around the larger creatures, but I've been working on Central for a year and a half, I'm used to it."

"Even Silverine?"

"Everyone, except when they're angry. We are good natured, and seeing Blake while angry is best done at a distance."

"Was Silverine angry at me for finding out?"

"Oh good lord no." Alduin replied."He was just testing to see how well you reacted to him, he does that to everyone. Be lucky he didn't fight you, like he did with me."

"He fought you?"

"I fell unconscious after it." Alduin nodded, I could feel the shifting pillow.

"So what happens tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? You go to the food store for the first time, we experience various pranks, and then we get down to the business of sorting you into a team."

"With you?"

"No, complete strangers.That's the point, you get to work with people you don't know, find out what everyone is good and bad at."

"I'm worried, Alduin. What if I am no good?"

"Everyone's good at something. Kodey's five four and meek, yet he gets on well with people. You'll meet him tomorrow.Some are the gems of intelligence, some are magical, or some slightly stronger than everyone else.You are intelligent, you play chess better than me, and while you're weaker than me,Silverine doesn't care."

"So what are you good at?"

"I?" Alduin laughed," I am the devious one. I do the plans, execute them with shocking efficiency, and my evil smile has made people run for cover. No one likes my own brand of intelligence at the best of times, and when I am angry or stimulated, I can devise hells for people. You will see a perfect example tomorrow morning."

"And the sex?"

"What's wrong with sex?"

"Nothing, but is everyone that overwhelming?"

"No.It's just every race enjoys it, and they like to get involved. Draco broke my virginity, and I his, our bond is stronger than many. You will learn to bond with people, get to know them, their own quirks and dislikes."

"I hoped they all wouldn't be like Draco." I replied, and Alduin laughed again.

"He's extremist." he replied, and he took hold of me. I was facing away, into the room.

"Alduin, what..."I began, and felt his steel cock gently slide into my ass, and the sentence ended on a moan. He went all the way in, and slowly all the way out. The steel was unforgiving, and I prayed he wouldn't go much faster.

He didn't, instead I felt one hand go around my body and stroke my own cock. Alduin is possibly the only person I know who would service me and fuck me at the same time. I certainly didn't notice this in Gareth or Draco.

It was nice, having this gentle penetration coupled with the equally gentle sensuous manipulation of my cock.

"Don't worry, Ryan.I take good care of my friends and, dare I say it, those I am in control of. Gareth is testament to that, even though I won't let him cook."

I felt so loved, Alduin would protect me. "Control, Alduin?"

He smiled as he continued his soft caressing,"Gareth wanted me to be his master,it makes no difference normally, but occasionally we have a master pet night.Doran might want me as his master, but has never gained the courage to ask.That's why he keeps taking me on, he likes my dominance and care of him."

"Care and dominance?" Sounded a bit oxymoronic.

"I care for everyone, and even on top I like being gentle."

"I noticed."I replied, feeling a small surge of pleasure, and a moan escaped my lips."You are good at this."

"I have had practice.No one minds losing one on one sex to me, because most of the time I will do this." His other hand removed it's grip, and it began playing with my balls and the base of my cock."I have had Valmeero request me to do this for an hour because he was feeling frisky."

"The name means nothing." I replied, as a stronger burst pulsed through me, and I sighed louder.

"Tomorrow you will probably meet him. He is coolness personified, and drives the ladies wild.But that's all by the by, do you want a master, someone to look after you? I want to look after you, because you're my kinsman here."

"Who will look after you?" I asked, moaning yet again.I wanted to know how this human was so good at this.

"I look after me, although everyone else does too. They like their little human."

"Will I have to call you master?" I asked.Alduin stopped stroking.

"Of course not. If you want a comparison, I'm the bigger brother at the school.You don't know something, come to me. He resumed the stroking, and I got his meaning. I felt humbled to think Alduin was prepared to go out of his way to help me.

"I would like someone looking after me." I replied.

"Don't worry, I'm good at this job." he chuckled."I'm just glad someone else from my planet knows about Central."

"Well, master, you've got me now." I smiled, and I knew he was grinning too.

"I won't call you pet, that's undignified.I shall have to arrange moving you out of the Y.M.C.A, you're staying at my house end of argument."

"Did I ever mention how thankful I was that you set everything up?"

"Yes you did, and I told you not to worry." he said. I was relieved of further conversation as I felt myself coming to orgasm.

It came slowly, but very deeply, deeper than anything before. My breath was caught, waiting for that moment of ecstasy, and Alduin delivered it to me. With a gentle cry, I ejaculated, and Alduin milked my cock with both hands. I let go about four or five bursts, and then settled. Alduin stopped stroking me off, and removed himself.

This wasn't fair.

"Master, I mean, Alduin, you haven't gotten off yet."

"And neither do I intend to tonight." he replied."I need my sleep, which now means I need my blaster or a cold shower."

He reached over me, and grabbed at what appeared to be the futuristic blaster I had seen several scouts carrying.

"What does it do?"

"It sends a ray that can either knock out, kill or vaporise things, except I always keep it on two setting, it's a handy sleep aid."

"You've made me excited about the prospect of tomorrow, Alduin, how am I supposed to sleep?" I asked, and then realised this was a fairly dumb question.

"Well, do you want to do it, or shall I?"

Pulling the trigger on myself did not sound promising.

"You do it." I said, waiting for a blast.

It wasn't actually painful when it came, I just sunk into a deep sleep with a slight twinge. I even dreamed, although all my dreaming was about this strange new place.

I wish waking was as nice.

"RRRRRRRRRRAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!"

I literally jumped two feet into the air, springing up and whacking my head on the metal mesh that the other bed rested on. Alduin didn't react as badly to the roar, he merely sat bolt upright, looking around terrified. As I opened my eyes, and a blinder of a headache, I saw Draco leaning casually against the bunk pillar, laughing his head off. I rubbed my head, and got onto the floor, holding my head in mild pain. Alduin looked miffed.

"If I wanted an alarm call, I would have gotten my own alarm clock in."

Draco was still laughing." You should have seen it, you look as though you'd been electrocuted, and Ryan took off like a plane!" he bent double over, wheezing jets of flame from his laughter. I looked at Alduin, and rolled my eyes. Alduin did the same, and Draco exited, laughing loudly.

We both got dressed, the pain in my head died, and we came out to have breakfast. Alduin had half a punnet of strawberries and a bowl of cereal. Draco had a cup of strong smelling liquid and a type of food not unlike toast.

We ate quietly, while Draco extolled his wake up call to Simba.
