Rite of Passage
Just an idea I had. I kept the species and ages vague on purpose, so fill in the blanks with your own fursonas, I guess.
Not sure how to really continue, but if you want me to continue this story, let me know and give me ideas.
Jador grinned ear to ear as he opened his eyes to see the sunlight streaming in. Today was the day! The cub was practically bouncing with joy he put on his loincloth and quickly brushed his fur. He was so excited. Soon, he would be an adult!
The jungle village that Jador and his family lived in had a certain rite of passage for every male cub. Once they had come of age, they were to make a pilgrimage deep into the jungle surrounding their home. Once there, they would face five challenges. No-one spoke about what those challenges were, so the cubs wouldn't be able to prepare in advance for them...they would truly be tested to the best of their abilities. But once they passed the test, they were considered adults in the village, given distinctive tattoos and given special privileges.
One of the biggest privileges was the freedom to go into the main temple of the village. Jador took a quick look at the temple from one of the hut windows. It was a massive stone building dedicated to their gods, a beautiful palace that was allegedly the most wonderful place in the entire jungle. But only adults were allowed inside, and they never talked about what was there to the cubs.
Jador couldn't wait to go inside. He only heard rumors of what waited inside...the most delicious food, the most fun games...and more, he could tell. All he had to do was go to a sacred spot in the jungle and begin his first trial.
Of course, the jungle being what it was, he was allowed to take some weapons and food. Jador made sure to pick up his homemade spear and dagger, as well as the rations his father had set aside for him for today. Soon, he was ready.
Considering how early in the morning it was really unlikely that the rest of his family would be able to see him off. But he felt that this was too important to wait for. Brushing himself off, he started walking to the exit of the hut...
"Leaving already?"
Jador turned around to see his older brother, Timens, standing there. Timens had gone through the rite of passage long ago, and had been given the tattoos that signified he was an adult. He had been to the temple plenty of times, but had never divulged any of it's secrets to Jador, no matter how much he'd begged.
Jador nodded eagerly. "Oh yeah. I'm gonna be a grown up and find out just what you've been hiding all these years."
Timens chuckled, ruffling his younger brother's hair the way most siblings do. "I hope so. Those trials can actually be pretty hard."
A small panic came over Jador, but it passed quickly. "It can't be that hard...can it?"
Timens sighed, his eyes becoming faraway. "They're harder than you think." He quickly brightened up and smiled encouragingly. "But you'll pass them. I'm sure you will."
Feeling better with his brother's encouragement, Jador smiled back. "Of course I will?" A thought struck Jador. He'd asked before, but maybe now..."...but...can you give me a hint?"
Timens thought for a moment, then shrugged. "Ah, what's the harm." He nodded, leaning down to Jador's ear. "When you get to the trial spot in the jungle, your first test is that of your courage. A snake is going to come up to you, and if you can face the snake without running away, you pass the first test."
A shiver went down Jador's spine. A snake? He'd never faced one before, but he'd heard the stories..."But...but won't he hurt me?"
Timens shook his head. "Not as long as you keep your eyes on him." He turned to face Jador and motioned to both their eyes. "In fact, as long as you look him straight in the eye, he won't come any closer."
"You sure?"
"Of course I'm sure." Timens chuckled. "I've faced him myself, remember?"
After some thought, Jador shrugged in agreement. "Ok." He decided. His brother would know what he was talking about. With a new confidence, Jador stepped out of his hut and waved to Timens. "Next time you see me, I'll be all grown up!" he boasted.
Timens just smiled and waved back. "I know you will be."
A few minutes of following a marked trail later, Jador came upon the sacred spot where he was to wait for his first trial. It was a small grotto in the middle of the jungle, far away from the village. There was little here, except for a statue of one of the villager's gods, which served as both a landmark and a deterrent to predators.
There was a small space in front of the statue that was marked. Jador took a seat their, crossing his legs and waiting. He was calm on the outside, but nervous on the inside. Would he pass the first trial? Would he fail? Did Timens lie to him? He kept his paws on the spear and dagger handle, hoping that they would be enough to drive away any unwelcome predators.
For a while, nothing happened. Jador ate the rations he had been given and started to get bored. What was taking so long? Would the first trial even get here? Was Timens just mocking him? He was almost considering getting up and walking away when he heard a rustling sound.
Jador's eyes darted to where the sound had come from, and he caught a glimpse of something big slithering through the thick leaves of the jungle. The grip on his dagger tightened.
Another noise, this time from behind him. Jador spun around and saw what looked like a mottled tree root slithering past him. The rustling was coming from all around him now, and when he looked back at the statue, he saw the source.
The snake was HUGE, and Jador wasn't sure he'd seen all of it. The mottled brown coils were wrapped around the statue, and he knew the length of the snake's tail was surrounding him. The head was big enough to open up and swallow him whole, and his eyes pierced him to his soul. Jador drew the dagger, hoping it would give him protection...
"Who are you?"
Jador froze. The snake was speaking to him? That never happened. He didn't know that...maybe this was the first trial after all.
"M-my name is Jador." He answered nervously, still clutching the dagger.
The snake raised his eyebrows...at least, as much as a snake could. And then he smiled. "Are you ready for the...trials?" he asked.
Jador relaxed slightly. This was the trial that Timens had told him about. He knew what to do now. This was gonna be easy. Looking the snake in the eyes, Jador boasted. "Yes, I'm ready!"
The snake chuckled, coming closer to Jador and matching his gaze. "I can see that. Then let's begin."
Jador couldn't help but smirk. How was this a challenge? The python was intimidating, sure, but it wasn't hard to look him in the eye. In fact, it was rather eas
Jador blinked, feeling as though he had just woken up from a nap. What had happened? As the fog slowly lifted from his mind, his eyes shot open as his situation became clear.
He wasn't sitting anymore. He was lying on his stomach, with his hands tied up in front of him. Feeling the air on his fur, he realized he was completely naked, his bare ass being held up by his knees. His hands were tied together with his loincloth, and he couldn't wriggle his wrists free.
Panic set in as his eyes darted around. Where was he? He wasn't in the grotto anymore...no, he was in the treetops on a very thick branch. Looking up, he saw his dagger and spear tied onto another branch, too far away to help him. Sitting right in front of him was a piece of fruit, big enough to fit in his mouth. He was naked, unarmed, and completely helpless.
The snake slithered back into view, still smiling. "Do you understand, Jador? Are you ready?"
And as the shock and confusion ebbed away from him, Jador realized did understand. He understood everything perfectly.
His memories slowly came back. There was a magical beauty to the snake's eyes, and it had opened him up to the truth. The truth about what Jador really wanted. What he really needed. The truth about what being an adult entailed. What it had to offer him. The truth of what the trials truly were. The truth about his purpose, about his existence. The truth about his villager's gods.
He had gotten undressed willingly, and felt no shame. He had allowed the snake to bring him up to the treetops where none would hear him, and he felt no trepidation. He had let the snake take away his weapons and bind his hands, and he felt no fear. He had assumed this vulnerable position, and he felt...excited. Eager. Happy. That was the wonderful thing about the snake's magic...he didn't feel anything bad.
The snake's tail caressed his bare buttocks, and although Jador shivered, it wasn't with nervousness. It was with excitement. A smile returned to his face. He knew what was coming. The snake's eyes had molded his mind into a mind that was suitable for adulthood. All that was left was to mold his body. Jador obligingly lifted his tail so that the snake would not have any trouble getting access.
Jador looked back up at the snake and nodded happily. "Yes. Yes, I'm ready. Do it." He answered, picking up the fruit in his mouth and waiting.
The snake smiled, the magic returning to his eyes as the tip of his tail moved into position behind Jador.
The cub bit into the fruit hard as his first lesson commenced...
It was late in the evening before Timens could come to the temple. The guard in front of the door let him in the moment he saw the tattoo on his chest. Timens passed through him and entered the temple proper.
The entrance hall of the temple was filled with statues and pictures of the village's gods. They were all quite beautiful, but Timens walked past them without looking at them. They weren't important. The most important part of the temple was behind another door at the end of the entrance hall. The door had been camouflaged into the wall, so any cub who somehow got past the guard wouldn't find it. Even if they did, it was unlikely they would get past the guard behind this door.
As Timens stepped through the door, he was face to face with an enormous snake. The guard recognized him and smiled. "Hello, Timens. Shall we begin?"
Timens nodded, looking deep into the snake's magical eyes. As the eyes began to swirl with beautiful colors, Timens recited the pledge he had long since memorized from when he was a cub.
"We exist to please you, the true gods of the jungle. My purpose is to serve and amuse, even as I pleasure and amuse myself. I have given you my mind, so that my body may be unhindered. Take away my shame and fear, so I may please and be pleased in this house."
Once the refrain was over, the snake's eyes had worked their magic. Without hesitation, Timens slipped off his loincloth and hung it to the side, along with those of his friends. He felt absolutely no shame or fear of someone seeing him naked. Just aroused.
The snake smiled and slithered out of the way, allowing Timens to step into the proper temple. "He will be in your room. Just as you requested." He explained.
The true temple, the temple of the snake gods, was devoted to sexual pleasures. There were no taboos within these walls. None of the villagers even understood taboos once the snakes had weaved their spells. No advances were refused, no secret desires were hidden, no fetish was frowned upon.
And the snakes would watch. That was what amused them more than anything...watching their subjects mindlessly act out whatever fantasy crossed their minds. Sometimes the snakes would sit back and enjoy what the villagers wanted to do, and other times they would direct the show themselves. Occasionally, they would mate with their playthings themselves. No one argued...the snake's magic ensured that the only thing they would feel was pleasure, no matter what it was from.
As Timens walked through the halls, he could hear all manner of acts. It was males with males, for the most part - only the gods would decide whether it was worth the chance of children. One of his friends voiced his need to be fucked endlessly, a need that was happily obliged by another villager. Another young hunter laughed with ecstacy as his master smacked him once again. Music played from one of the rooms, and Timens imagined another young male performing a sensual dance for his audience.
All these things made him feel hard, but he wanted to save himself for his goal.
Eventually, Timens finally made it to his room - the room that had been marked for him after his rite of passage was complete. Every villager had one of these rooms - rooms where they would dictate the night's pleasures to whoever they brought with them. Unless their snake had other ideas, but that didn't matter tonight.
Inside the room was a luxurious bed, a wooden love seat covered in silk cushions, and all the tools and toys Jador liked. The mottled brown python was coiled on the floor, and Jado was sitting cross-legged on the chair as he repeated the mantra, clearly still learning it. When Timens entered the room, they both looked up to see him. Jador was still completely naked, and he didn't even blush when he saw his nude brother. He just smiled, his eyes still sparkling with the snake's magic. "Hi, Timens. Thank you for telling me what to do. It made everything so much easier." He wholeheartedly thanked.
Timens smiled back, stroking his brother's fur. "No problem."
The snake raised his eyebrow. "You told him to look me in the eye?" he mused before chuckling. "Interesting idea. Well, I suppose you can repay him now. One more time...what are the four things you must learn?"
The cub was quick to answer, standing up eagerly. "I must learn how to service a cock..." he looked at Timens' balls as if they were fruit. "...and how my cock can best be serviced." Jador touched his own small cock, which had swelled with arousal. "I must also know how to fuck..." Jador made a small thrust with his hips that made Timens chuckle. "...and be fucked by an actual cock." The cub finally patted his bare ass, showing that he knew what each of those things were.
"That's right." Timens agreed, gently scratching underneath Jador's chin. "And once you've learned all that, you'll be an adult, and we can come here whenever we want." His other hand traveled down to the cub's backside, giving it a tender squeeze. Jador giggled at the touch.
The snake slithered to the side to watch the show. "Well...let the lessons begin."
Jador grinned ear to ear, purring at the prospect. He was so glad that it would be his brother that would teach him. This was gonna be so much fun!
