England 1193
Upon the setting of the sun, in a small house in the middle of the city of London screams are herd coming from an upstairs window. In the room stands a figure with his butchered adversary at his feet and his clothes saturated with the blood of his kill, he releases his grip on his dripping sword it hits the floor with a clang. Matthias looks about the room and spots their in a darkened corner, Reptile he rushes to his side only to see upon his scaly body scratches and scrapes abundant. After shaking Reptile's battle stricken body to no avail, he picks him up on his broad shoulders his blood coated hands slip and Matthias struggles to lift him he makes it outside and into the blackening night. Eventually in a courtyard not far from the house Matthias lays down his unconscious comrade next to the fountain, he splashes water upon Reptile's bruised face Matthias shakes him again and cries "brother wake up brother, let us make haste lest we be found".
Reptile finally comes too and spies Matthias he immediately questions his whereabouts Matthias replies "were outside you were jumped brother they took you so that they could interrogate you, lucky I got to you when I did"
Reptile still dazed smiles and says "not soon enough it would seem, now let us leave here my body is raw and I need rest" Matthias cheerfully looks at Reptile and answers "brother lets go while the night is still young"
Soon after Matthias and Reptile appear in a dark side street and head into a small inn placed between the neatly built houses, the bulky wooden doors are open and there is light peering into the street. They go inside where the landlord is collecting tankards when he sees the two enter the inn Matthias helping Reptile who is limping, the landlord shocked heads towards the door and says "Matthias... what are you doing here?"
Matthias still holding Reptile up replies "Methuselah, get the door"
He closes the thick creaky doors as Matthias places Reptile down on a bench and sits down panting after his lengthy trek. Methuselah walks hastily over to Matthias and questioningly asks "Matthias it's been so long, I haven't seen you since Acre"
Matthias still breathless picks himself up and walks over to a basin of water placed tidily in the corner where he washes his feathery sweaty face. Methuselah hands him a towel and inquisitively says "Matthias what's going on and what happened to you friend"
Matthias now slightly recovered turns "he was jumped by humans they planed to torture him, I got there just in time" he says restlessly.
Matthias and Methuselah go to look at Reptile who is asleep on the bench Matthias leans over him and feels his rough forehead, Methuselah still puzzled asks "Matthias how did you know how to find me?"
Matthias rises and with is hands on his hips stares at Methuselah "I was going to come and see you when Reptile got into a little trouble... is it ok if we stay here for the night?" Matthias enquires,
Methuselah still concerned replies "yes, yes of course you can stay, but what is going on Matthias I've never seen you like this before".
Matthias walks over to the bar orderly decorated with candles glowing in the darkness, he sits down and Methuselah approaches him. Matthias lifts his head and stares right at Methuselah and cries "it's all changed, it's all different... all the old values are gone there's no one left who cares for us lizards anymore Methuselah, they hate us all of them"
Matthias buries his head in his hands as Methuselah desperately asks "WHO Matthias, who hates us?" Matthias without a moment's hesitation calls out into the night "the humans!"
The moon now at its peak in the night sky bathed the whole city in a silver glow and in the small inn Methuselah looked at Matthias in shock as his call still echoed from all corners of the inn. "What do you mean Matthias; the humans do not hate us you can testify to that yes I grant you there is tension but not hate Matthias" said Methuselah reassuringly,
Matthias slowly rubbed his eyes and inhaled "you do not understand this is not the holy land Methuselah things have changed, you know that it was mostly reptilians who left the crusade perpetually and now that it has failed to reclaim Jerusalem the humans blame us" Matthias explained Methuselah listens in horror "the humans hate us, me and Reptile" Matthias points to Reptile still asleep on the bench on the other side of the dark stone inn "me and Reptile saw reptilian families getting pelted on the street, they burned down their houses and chased them out and as we got to London. We saw reptilians hanging from the trees on the outskirts of the city young ones too, Methuselah young ones only a few weeks old strung up I've never seen so many bodies not since Acre and that was in war time".
Methuselah tries to make sense of the situation walking back and forth still not believing it is true, "how, Matthias how could they do this I mean to hatchlings" Methuselah asks frantically
Matthias stands up and puts his hand on Methuselah's shoulder then calmly says "calm yourself brother, look we will have to leave soon we haven't got long before they will start to hunt us".
Methuselah looks in Matthias's eyes "ok you're right we will have to go but what about the others, surely you don't expect to leave them?" Methuselah desperately asks.
Matthias takes a step back looks down and slowly utters "there are no others, their all dead or will be by the morning"
In a poorly lit cramped room to the side of the main inn Matthias and Methuselah were collecting supplies for their long journey ahead, Matthias lifted the lid of a large wooden chest in the corner of the room. The chest was packed with swords daggers and a battered old helmet, after a short silence Methuselah burst out "you know I never forgot about you, I never forgot what happened on the ship on the way back from the holy land"
Matthias stops his rummaging throws down the contents of his hands and slams the chest shut. Matthias faces Methuselah and angrily says "oh and you think this is a good time to talk about that do you!"
Methuselah looked up and down Matthias tough strong body and approached him; he grabs Matthias and pulls him close to him. Matthias trying to resist cries out "what are you doing, what happened on that ship was a mistake Methus..."
Methuselah kisses Matthias and embraces him stronger Matthias stops resisting for a moment then pushes Methuselah away who passionately licks his lips. Matthias sternly says "no damn it not again, control yourself" Matthias picks up the pile of weapons and storms out of the room leaving Methuselah to collect his thoughts.
Morning and the sun begins its slow assent up from the horizon, Matthias pushes the large wooden doors of the inn open and cautiously checks the street form movement. He turns and signals to Methuselah and Reptile who consequently leave the sanctity of the inn and head off down the narrow cobbled street, subsequently pulling up their large baggy hoods to cover their faces. They reach the main road and march silently on as the sun bathes the rooftops in a golden glow and the morning breeze gently sways the cloaks of the three noiseless figures. As they turn to the west at an intersection along the pebbled road, they come across a female reptilian being attacked by three humans. Upon seeing this Matthias whips off his cloak majestically draws his sword, which Reptile and Methuselah subsequently do too. Matthias inhales and lunges at the first human stabbing him in the heart; Reptile strikes next and kills the second with a well placed blow to the head spraying his arm in blood. The third in shock backs off into the shadows as a forth leaps out of an alley and Methuselah after a brief dual slashes his throat smugly saying "good riddance".
As the forth human falls to his knees clutching his throat, the third returns and goes straight for an unsuspecting Reptile. Matthias with lightning reactions throws his already blooded sword into the chest of the oncoming human; he subsequently stumbles and hits the floor with a thud. Matthias goes to the aid of the female reptilian and helps her up; she embraces Matthias tightly and cries "thank you, thank you"
Methuselah hands Matthias his cloak saying "we must go Matthias before more show up"
The female reptilian releases Matthias and asks in desperation "will you take me with you"
Methuselah and Reptile wiping his sword look at Matthias, he nods "very well I suppose you can come but let us hurry". With that the group hastily carries on until they reach the tall arched western gateway where they find a horse and a covered cart, they pile in with Matthias and Methuselah up front and Reptile and the female in the covered back. Methuselah whips the horse and they set off down the dusty track leaving London bathed in the warm glow of the sun behind them.
Sometime later as the female reptilian looks out at the dirt track, Reptile gazes up and down here body with a scheming look on his face. Eventually as he could bare it no longer Reptile asks "so what is your name my lady?"
She turns toward him and gives a slight grin "my name is Natasha, and you warrior what is your name" she replies inquisitively
Reptile smiles with a devious twinkle in his eye says, "warrior you say well I never considered calling myself that before fine maiden".
Natasha having smirked wittingly asks "are you by any chance trying to seduce me?"
Reptile cheerfully answers "well I am trying but your not making it easy my dear".
Natasha hungrily looks at Reptile, who replies with a puzzled gaze. Before Reptile can say a word Natasha pounces on him and kisses him while leisurely rubbing his chest, Reptile responds by embracing her close and squeezing her stoutly. Natasha backs off as Reptiles penis gradually starts creeping out; she grins and kisses his neck then his chest then his belly and then his penis. Natasha then sticks out her long tongue and progressively begins to pleasure Reptile, Reptile looks over his shoulder as Matthias and Methuselah continue to talk obliviously. Now with Reptiles large pink penis trapped in her mouth Natasha gives one final long hard suckle and Reptile vigorously comes, he breathes heavily as Natasha avidly licks her lips. The warm white liquid trickled down the sides of her mouth, as she wipes it off the cart comes to a steady halt and Reptile frantically coverers up as Matthias peers in and in a relaxed tone says "were stopping here for the night, come on lets get a fire started"
Matthias jumps out and stretches as Methuselah grabs an axe and walks off with it slung loosely on his shoulder. Reptile after a short cooling off steps out of the cart and sees Natasha picking mushrooms a few meters away, while Matthias impatiently tries to start a fire.
The sun now low in the east gives an orange glare over the campsite, Matthias and Reptile are sitting quietly chatting with their backs leaning against the stationary cart. Methuselah and Natasha too are quietly chatting on the other side of the fire, until they get up and gradually walk away into the rapidly darkening night. A bemused Reptile looks on with disbelief as Matthias leans over and whispers in his ear "Methuselah's going to be in trouble in the morning"
Reptile quickly turns and hastily asks "What do you mean?"
Matthias smiling keenly replies "well I noticed that Natasha has a brass bracelet with a 'P' on it"
Reptile confused asks "What?"
"Well I noticed on our way into London there was a whore house called 'peters' and all of the whores wore that bracelet as a sign of their employment... she's a prostitute, she probably has more infections than road kill" he leans back and bursts out laughing. Reptile in shock gives a nervous grin, Matthias leans over and gleefully remarks "well at least none of us shagged the bitch" Reptile looks at Matthias as if to say "well actually" Matthias's smile drops and he urgently asks "no you didn't"
Reptile regrettably replies "no but she did suck my cock"
Matthias with a sigh of relief utters "thank fuck for that... I think you had a close shave there".
Reptile thinks for a moment and then curiously asks "well why do you care?" Matthias tensely looks away, Reptile realises subsequently asking "Do, do you love me?"
The sun had now set and the only source of light for miles around came from the campfire, which bathed the surrounding area in a warm orange shine. Matthias still straining to make sense of the situation, gave a sigh and facing Reptile sorrowfully said "Yes I do... I always have I just never gave it any serious thought, I mean do you love me?"
Reptile with certainty replies "yes I suppose I do..." Matthias and Reptile look at each other with glee and little by little snuggle up and with their lips puckered they kiss passionately. While they gently embrace one another both their penises become erect, Matthias lies down and Reptile prepares to penetrate him. Penetration is slow and gradual as this is their first time together, with a sudden rush of adrenaline Matthias comes before his lover spraying Reptiles belly with his warm silk like come. Reptile subsequently slaps Matthias's feathery face and begins to thrust, his thrusts are hard and powerful Matthias clearly is enjoying it from the avid smile on his face.
Reptile finally comes and embraces Matthias closer as they kiss again this time for longer, as their tongues become entwined and as they pass down each others throats. They finally break away from each other, the moment has passed and so they clean themselves and devotedly kiss once more before bedding down for the night. The fire crackles and spits as an exhausted Methuselah treads heavily back towards the camp closely followed by Natasha who keenly hugs his arm, they lie down together and drift off into a long nights sleep.
Morning and as the sun vibrantly shines down on the green earth, Matthias and Reptile are packing the groups things messily into the cart while Methuselah treads out the last hot ambers of the fire. The group swiftly jumps into the cart with Methuselah and Natasha chatting loudly up front, while in the back Matthias and Reptile recline with their arms wrapped loosely around each other. Methuselah eagerly whips the horse and the cart smoothly starts to roll shaking slightly as it passes over the many bumps along the dusty road. Matthias leisurely licks Reptiles cheek he in turn does the same to Matthias; they cuddle tightly and begin to talk softly as the cart rolls progressively on down the dirt track. The sun now high in the sky tenderly warms the blood of the four lovers in the small covered cart moving gradually towards the western horizon.
Eventually after riding till dusk they finally make it to the reptilian fort just outside of a small town on the west coast, upon arrival they see a most discouraging site as they were met with hundreds of reptilians of all ages and species crammed into this last outpost. After initial introductions they were shown to their tents, quite small but with a homely appeal each had with two beds, a vase of fresh water and some fruit. Matthias and Reptile, in one with Methuselah and Natasha in the other.
Immediately after getting settled in Methuselah started to continually kiss Natasha who lays him down on the beds and begins to aggressively stroke his chest and neck Methuselah now fully erect and in no hurry begin to enter her leisurely he progresses deeper. Natasha slows in her stroking moreover they hastily rolls over as Methuselah begins to thrust her harder and harder. She carried on smiling with glee as Methuselah begins to slow she jiggers about passionately adding to the pleasure and so Methuselah comes, followed by their zealous lips conjoining once again.
In the next tent however Matthias refreshingly splashes his feathered face and with a deep sigh of relief he turns and smiles as their on the bed outstretched lies Reptile with his tail raised and his hands blissfully beckoning to Matthias, wasting no time his penis was soon hard and so he set about mounting his scaly lover. Matthias penetrated quickly and began to thrust in his own unique style; Reptile struggled to contain his pleasure. Matthias came in a burst of energy and then set about overpoweringly kissing the back of Reptiles strong green neck, Matthias then exited Reptile cautiously while still relentlessly kissing him. Reptile then rolled over to reveal his long pink penis full exposed, Matthias placed it into his large gaping jaws and began to avidly suckle. Matthias used his teeth gently scathing Reptile's penis to give extra stimulation, Reptiles coming was welcomed by Matthias who slurped up all the excess and swallowed audaciously. He lifted his head to see a grinning Reptile lean over and kiss him, their courteous twilight ends with Reptile standing up and biting into a fresh red apple. With their courting finished for the night the two hear raised voices outside, intrigued they go to investigate.
When outside they see auguring the fort commander with one of his sergeants, Reptile and Matthias asked "what are you two shouting about?"
The fort commander explained to them that because the humans had given them this fort to protect themselves from the raging mobs, the sergeant was alleging that it was a trap. Matthias still partly puzzled remarked "wait, wait the humans gave you this fort?"
The fort commander reassuringly said "yes, they told us that it would stop the mobs from killing anymore of us"
Matthias looking at the weak wooden walls said "yes it will withstand mobs but this is a temporary fort, its not designed for prolonged use"
just then a messenger interrupted the discussion saying "captain news from London the army is coming here to aid us by the kings orders"
Matthias deeply mystified frantically said "no that's not possible the king is being held for ransom in Europe, he was on his way back from the holy land"
A unimpressed fort commander smugly asked "and how do you know all this then"
"because I fort with him at acre" Matthias irritable says to the fort commander. A silence goes round the group as rain begins to pelt the tops of their heads,
"then who could of ordered such a command and why" an anxious sergeant cried,
Reptile raised his dripping head and cried "price john"
Matthias turns briefly to Reptile saying "yes" swiftly turning back and continues "and this army it does not come to aid us it comes to destroy us, think about most of the reptilians living for miles around all flocked here" realising the group breaks down into chattering as the rain continues to bear down heavily on the group.
After a short discussion with Reptile, Matthias with his feathers drenched turns to the despondent group of guards and orderly shouts "hey, hey listen we have to get these people out of here, before the rising of the sun"
A guard urgently asks "where will they go, where will we go?"
Matthias wiping the rain from his forehead replies "get them to the docks we make for the Isle of Man, only a few humans live there they'll move on... well lets go now!" with that the guards spring into action ordering people about and telling them to pack their things. A drenched Matthias re-enters his tent upon which Reptile throws him a towel. He irritably wipes his face before throwing the towel to the ground; Matthias twists towards Reptile and heatedly cries "how did it come to this brother, how did we get to the point where we are forced from our own country eh how?" Matthias frustrated puts his hands on his head and sinks to his knees.
Reptile sinks to his knees also and places his hand softly on Matthias's shoulder comfortingly saying "this affects us all Matthias, stop thinking that it is all on your shoulders" an obliged Matthias lifts his head and strongly hugs Reptile.
Matthias and Reptile stand Matthias gives a slights smile "I don't know what I'd do without you brother" Matthias says gratefully patting Reptile compassionately on the shoulder, Matthias now cheered up says readily "well lets get our stuff together, at dawn we make for the coast". Meanwhile outside the rain continues to pelt the fort which is in a state of chaos as reptilians run about piling their possessions into chests and onto carts patiently waiting for the go.
As an impatient sun sends forth the first striking red beams of light, the fort in its entirety now was all but deserted as Matthias and Reptile tiresomely load the last of their belongings into the back of the covered cart. After one last scan of the camp they hop in the back and signal to an eager Methuselah to starts off, the cart swiftly leaves the fort and carries on down the muddy track to the coast.
As the sun finally pokes up on the horizon the covered cart gradually makes its way down to the docks, as Matthias and Reptile chat softly in the back. "So here we are, on the way to freedom it'll take a while before we get to the docks what do you want to do?" Matthias asked inquisitively, not saying a word Reptile raises his head and smiles. Matthias smiles back as they embrace one another tightly and lay on the floor of the cart,
Reptile was already hard and a gleeful Matthias slid down to Reptile exposed penis. Matthias opened his salivating jaws and slowly and precisely licked Reptiles penis, then he lifted his head and consumed it in his mouth and began to keenly suck. Matthias with his head between Reptile's large masculine legs, continued to pleasure his lover in his own unique style. Wrapping his tongue time and time again around Reptile's shaft, then gently tapping the end with his long dextrous tongue an overwhelmed Reptile finally released his seed into Matthias's waiting lips. Matthias instantly wipes his mouth and begins to deeply kiss with Reptile once again, that is until Methuselah informingly called out "OK were here lets get moving"
Matthias and Reptile immediately break off and begin to speedily unload the clothing and weapons from the cart. Reptile, Methuselah, Matthias and Natasha heavily laden with their things head to the dock, where the last ship was waiting to depart. With a sigh of relief they board the ship, and look back as the last few reptilian families head toward the ship. Their relief was shattered as a huge cohort of human soldiers poured into the docks slaying any reptilian they came into contact with, Matthias reacts immediately by ordering all the guards pull back and defend the ship. As they do one of the guards trips and knocks over a barrel of pitch he slips and skids all over before getting hit by a human arrow, the humans now begin to rain down fire upon the reptilians. Natasha and Methuselah head down to the lower decks as the remaining guards desperately scramble onto the ship; Matthias looks about in desperation and spots a torch burning brightly on the side of the ship.
Reptile firmly grabs Matthias's arm screaming "no I can't let you go, I love you I won't let you do it"
Matthias turns looks at Reptile and with all his might punches him in the gut then with his body pressed against Reptile's Matthias lovingly whispers "you are my brother, you are my one true love and that is why I must do this" Reptile gasping for air falls to his knees, as Matthias runs snatching the torch and fiercely charges for the puddle of pitch. Reptile still winded looks on as Matthias roars loudly just as an arrow enters his left shoulder, unscaved he continues heartily running. He reaches the pitch as a second arrow enters his stomach he falls to his knees, and crying at the top of his voice plants the torch forcefully into the puddle of pitch.
The whole dock goes up in a bright yellow flash as Matthias his body bathed in an orange glow lingers then falls never to get up, Reptile his face distort is picked up by a considerate Methuselah. The ship sails on into the open ocean, leaving the smouldering docks behind for good.
Two months later and on the secluded Isle of Man on a hill top a group of reptiles stand in silence, as Reptile sadly addresses the group "we are gathered here today to pay homage to Matthias, he was a great lizard intelligent, strong and always enthusiastic, he gave his life so that we may live in peace, and so it is with great joy that today we unveil this in memory of Matthias" he turns to Methuselah who pulls a large grey cloth from covering the statue.
The statue is bronze and stands 10 feet high it is Matthias, he is wearing a chain mail shirt and a long tunic looking out over the island with his left hand on his sword and his right hand by his side the group look up at Matthias's precisely carved face and they smile with contentment but none as much as Reptile as a tear runs down his cheek and the wind gently sways his cloak. The sun gleams down on to the face of the statue, which stands tall over the island there for all time.
The End
