#3 of The (Addicted) Dragonrider Legion

Here we are folks, the third and final piece of my work to a friend's idea. I hope you all enjoyed it all cause i know for most of the four or so months it took me to write the whole thing I sure had fun. Also like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years since I'm sure many of us will be scattered to-an-fro from the internet over these coming last weeks of the year. Farewell to 2014 and best wishes for the things to come in 2015.

And as a side note, if there are enough votes and comments for it, I could be swayed into creating an epilogue for how our boys fared later on as part of the Legion itself. So if you're interested in such an extension, be sure to voice it below in the comments along with how much you liked the story. :)

"Evasion maneuvers Ry!"

In the heat of the action like they were, Ryalon didn't hesitate to question his partner, tilting his wings and banking heavily to the right and downward. He twisted his long neck to see behind him, watching as a powerful gust whirled by where the both of them had just been, four long arrows spiraling within it that he was sure would have pierced even his scales had he taken the hit. Zed sighed in relief as the assault passed by, the wind dying down and arrows harmlessly plummeting to the ground just seconds later. As the dragon underneath him leveled out, the human relaxed his grip on the reigns and turned in the direction of their opponents, the green dragon and cheetah staring back at them a lot more confidently than they were some weeks ago.

"Well damn, just two and a half weeks and it's like we're facing completely different people eh pal?"

"That's for sure Z. Those two are a lot more in-sync than before and now they're even pulling off combinations like ours too. Can only imagine what got them to start working together like this."

The dragon had also turned his head to look at the other duo flying across from them, his fierce orange eyes staring, watching for some sort of opening in their movements. He grunted in annoyance, tongues of fire flickering out the corners of his muzzle as he breathed, not enjoying the fact they weren't winning as easily as before. As if sensing his frustration, Zed softly stroked along Ryalon's neck, pressing firmly against the warm red scales and earning an affectionate murr from dragon for his efforts.

Little did the pair know that the other two had finally gotten past the awkwardness that was between them and actually found a similar bond as their rivals. The two had become incredibly close after that night of debauchery, and despite the slight unease the morning after, they were able to learn to trust each other and work past through previous issues. And thanks to that, their skills and teamwork had improved by leaps and bounds, rivaling those of the human and dragon they were currently facing off against.

"We've actually manage to stay even with them Verdin. I can't believe that we are doing so much better after just a couple of weeks."

"Oh, don't be so surprised now kitty. It was only your unease before that kept us from matching them, you and I were never any different from them in terms of skill. Our problem lied with our teamwork, they didn't show a problem working together."

The dragon chuckled as he looked back at the cheetah on his back, his yellow fur flickering randomly in the wind and armor clanking every now and then. The longbow he'd just used lay across his lap, with one paw still grasping the shaft as the other rested on the front of the saddle he set on, green eyes staring off to the other pair even as a blush spread along his cheeks.

"You think they've been doing sexual things with one another too Verdin?"

The question surprised the dragon, although it only made him chuckle again before he responded, casting a glance over to the males in question as well. "It's very possible, Ry was always a very active dragon back in the stables, and I doubt he'd have quit just because Zed was around. They're either comfortable around one another that he can do it as much as he wishes or our human friend actually does join in on the fun just as you and I do now," he said, his muzzle spreading into a playful grin as a thought came to mind, something that made Justin shiver slightly.

"Do I even want to know what you're thinking big guy?"

"Hehe, perhaps not, but I'll tell you anyways. I was just imagining what it might be like if the four of us were to all have a little fun together. Just think of how fun it could be with double the number of frisky males."

The rumbling growl that Verdin made could be felt more than heard in the sky with the winds whirling by, and the thought of all four of them together, playing with one another, made the cheetah blush even harder under his yellow fur. But Justin didn't get a chance to give a retort before he felt the dragon shift his wings and bank to the left, barely hearing the shout saying 'here they come' before he saw his partner turning to head straight for their oncoming duo. The cheetah could do nothing but reach back and draw an arrow, setting it against the drawstring and taking aim once more.

Meanwhile, far down below the four combatants, a lone otter lay watching them, arms crossed behind his head as he leaned against the belly of his curled up partner. The dragon wasn't as large as some of the others, but those of the water element rarely were since they were built more for swimming than flying, although their wings still allow for the latter. But Richard didn't mind at all, he loved Vincent just the way that he was, from the lithe build covered in shimmering sapphire scales down to the tiny knobs he liked to call horns. The otter chuckled as he thought about them again, they were just so cute, and Richard never could help rubbing them no matter how many times the dragon complained from it, even while he purred from the affection.

"Ohhhh... Richey, you're doing it again..." Vincent moaned softly, waking up slowly from the otter rubbing the base of his knobs. The statement made Richard blink and look down, not even noticing that he'd been rubbing them again, and quickly pulled his chocolate-furred paw away as he chuckled embarrassingly.

"Sorry Vincent, I didn't mean to. Got lost in thought as I watched the trainees." He replied apologetically, smiling softly as the dragon looked up sleepily from his lap.

"Well alright, how are they doing anyways?"

Vincent gave a wide yawn after he asked the question, his jaws parting to reveal the slippery tongue and sharp teeth, a sight the otter never got tired of seeing when he got to play with his partner. He chuckled at the thought, but avoided lingering on the subject as he looked back up to the trainees, watching as they continued to fight, trading blow for blow and the dragons sending out their breath attacks one right after the next.

"Looks like they're pretty even, although I can't say that Justin will be able to last much longer with how few arrows he has left. If I remember the count correctly, he only has three or four left before he's out and has to resort to those sai of his, and I doubt they'll be much use against a broadsword."

As his rider spoke, Vincent himself was looking up as well at the four combatants as they fought, and he chuckled lightly before he looked back at the other male. He smiled softly as he leaned in to nuzzle Richard's furry neck, inhaling the soft scent coming from him.

"Mmm, well, the dragons are certainly stronger than I am in the air or on land, but I'd smoke them in the waters," he said, chuckling lightly before he continued. "But the riders look promising as well, and archers like that cheetah don't come around too often. Looks to me that both of those pairs have learned to work in perfect sync."

"I'd have to agree Vincent, they've already started to pull off good combinations with the dragon's breath element and their own weapons. We hadn't managed to do that perfectly until after our final trial. So, they definitely are progressing very well."

The otter smiled back towards his partner, wrapping his arms around the dragon's neck and hugging him close as he nuzzled against the scaly cheek. Richard churred softly as he held onto Vincent, smiling more when he heard the bigger male purr again at the affection, even as the sounds of battle in the sky continued to ring at the edge of their hearing. He always enjoyed the little moments when he could relax and hold onto or be held by the blue dragon, considering how few and far between they were getting now with the overseeing he had to do with all the trainees. The sweet moment was cut short, however, when Vincent's paw reached over to rub the front of the mustelid's pants, pressing against the large confined sheath and drawing a surprised gasp from its owner.

"Hehe, what do you say about ending this session and we find someone private where you can stuff this big meat of yours inside me hmm Richey? I'm sure those two have done enough training for the last day before their final trial."

The brief gasp quickly turned into a moan as Vincent continued to rub and press his paw against his rider's thick sheath, making the smaller male squirm slightly in place. Richard never could argue with him about these things, the dragon was just too appealing for him to say no to, though it still didn't stop him from blushing slightly at the teasing as he spoke up.

"Always gotta be so forward don't ya Vincent? Just give me a minute..."

~ * ~ * ~ * ~

With their advisor wanting to finish up a little early, the gang decided to relax and enjoy themselves for the rest of the day by wandering the streets. They were out for hours just roaming through the town, sometimes just walking around and enjoying the sights, and other times helping the people they saw needing it. And then of course there were all the little cubs and young kids that wanted to get up close and personal with one of the dragons, the small assembly of youngsters making the four males chuckle as they all attempted to entertain and play with them. So by the time they all managed to drag themselves from their little audience, or have the kids pulled away by a parent, the sun was well close to setting over the horizon and their bodies were completely tired.

"My god, those little kids really take it out of you don't they?" Justin said as he flopped down onto the couch, sprawling out along it and taking up most of the space.

"Heh, don't act so exhausted Justin. You weren't actually doing that much compared to me and Verdin"

Ryalon couldn't help replying as he laid down on one of the large plush pillows scattered over the floor. He smirked when he felt Zed adjust himself on his broad back, dropping off the saddle and laying down on his scales, it felt nice to be this close to him. Instead of dwelling on the subject and risk arousing himself, he turned his attention towards the other dragon as he laid down himself and uttered a sigh at finally being able to relax.

"Heh, you're tired too huh Verdin? Those kids really gave us a workout didn't they?"

"I'll say. I think that'll be the first and last time I volunteer to entertain kids. Both my wings and ears are sore from them always wanting to go faster."

"That's for sure, we've flown faster, but having to keep adjusting like that is a real pain."

Justin chuckled as the dragons continued to go back and forth about the kids, his ears swiveling from one side to the other as each one of them spoke their mind, tail flicking every now and then as he let his own thoughts wonder. They hadn't been too bad for him and Zed, simply asking a whole bunch of questions about what it was like to be a dragonrider, what the training was like and other things similar to those. He was a little surprised though when they asked if both of them would spar a bit in front of them to demonstrate some of the training.

Since Zed didn't have a problem with it, the two of them put on a show for some of the kids that weren't riding on their partner at the time, letting the groups switch and mix as the teens sparred just like how they had done for years together. The cheetah had actually missed those times, when he and his friend and rival could have fun and play with one another, away from all the training and instructors.Heh, now that I think about it. I've actually mellowed out a little since I started being partners with Verdin... well since we started being intimate at least. Justin thought to himself, his cheeks reddening softly as a light blush spread across them at all the times he'd spend with the dragon after that one afternoon. Then another thought popped into his head, one that made his blush fade and gave him pause as he worked his mind over it.

"Hey guys, what do you think the final trial will be about?" he asked, having no clue himself about it. The out-of-place question caught the other three's attention and they all turned to look at him as he looked over at each one of them, wondering if they had any thoughts on the matter. None of them spoke up for several minutes however, all of them trying to figure out an answer that would make since, until Zed decided to voice his opinion and break the silence.

"Just don't worry about guys."

The odd response had both dragons and the cheetah turn to look at the human laying on his back across the dragon's back, who seemed as cool and calm as ever, with a little smile spread across his handsome face. It soon grew into a smirked however when he noticed the others all looking at him, rolling onto his side so he could look towards them properly before he spoke again.

"Think about it, I mean really think about it. They haven't shared any specifics on the test, no details, no hints. We're supposed to go in blind, just like a real battle. Now, while the test might not be actual combat, I think they're treating us like this to simulate real-world conditions. In any fight, battle, and sometimes an entire war, you're sent in with either vague details or no plan at all. We can't have our hands held our entire lives you know."

"So you're saying we should just relax and not rile ourselves up worrying about what things are Zed?"

"That's close Verdin. It's already the night before, so no matter what the exact nature of the test is, we can't really get any more prepared than how we are now. So instead of scrabbling about trying to do some last-minute training for an unknown assignment, we should instead not worry about it and go in fresh and at top form."

As the three digested what he had said, Zed swiveled himself on his partner's back and hopped down onto the floor, stretching out and sighing lightly in relief as he heard the bones pop under his efforts. He turned and chuckled as he looked from one male to the other, smiling softly as he patted Ryalon's side.

"So let's all head to bed and make sure we're well rested for whatever might be in store for us huh?"

Ryalon was quick to agree, standing up and making his way towards their bedroom with Zed following close behind, giving the other two a parting wave and nod of his head before slipping into the room and closing the door behind him. Watching the two of them disappear, Justin simply yawned and stretched across the couch, before rolling himself off and onto his footpaws, figuring the idea was as good as any he could think up. He looked over to his partner, and smiled as he saw Verdin was already up on his feet too, and with a shared nod from both of them, made his way into their shared room. The cheetah quickly removed his armor and clothes as the dragon made his way to their now shared bed, laying down and pulling the naked feline into his grasp the second he got close, curling around him and licking his cheek affectionately as the settled down for the night.

"Tomorrow we'll show those observers just what we're made of right Verdin?"

"Hehe, that's right kitty. We will pass no matter what they throw at us."

~ * ~ * ~ * ~

The location for the final phase in becoming part of the legion was a place known as the Dragon Legion Temple, a large and magnificent building that was built only six years ago almost entirely of limestone and sandstone, it was a grand sight for anyone that looked up to it. And situated directly behind the legion's hanger and surrounded by thick woods, the temple was completely cut off from the rest of the city, accessible only to official and testing dragons and their riders. Ascending the long staircase leading up to it, the four males there for their final trial marveled at the intricate and wondrous architecture that stood before them as they were lead inside by the giant Tibetan mastiff that had first paired them together two months ago.

"You guys have done well to reach this far so quickly, others usually take another month and a half or more before we let them enter this place."

"So you're saying we're like really good then huh?"

Justin was getting a little smugger about himself as he thought about what the dog had said, grinning to no one in particular as the group walked into the entrance at the top of the stairs, into a long and narrow tunnel lit only by wooden torches hanging along the walls. Before the mastiff could even turn around to face the feline, he was beaten to the punch by both Zed and Verdin, who each gave the uppity teen a light whack on the back of his head.

"Don't get too full of yourself Justin. There have been others that developed just as fast as, or even faster than, us."

"Zed's right, don't start acting all high and mighty until _after_you pass this final trial."

They all smirked when Justin turned away, crossing his arms and huffing to himself as he went quiet, which only served to make the group chuckle at him. As they continued to walk down the tunnel, Zed's eye couldn't help wandering about the tunnel, the entire place was a mystery to the entire city and he was finally inside, he wasn't gonna suppress his own curiosity this time. The other three weren't fairing much better though, all of them looking around as they were led deeper into the temple, their large guide chuckling silently to himself, looking over his shoulder to see them looking at the walls.

_Heh, these guys haven't a clue what's really in store for them. They probably still think this will be a combat test, and that couldn't be further from the truth._Damion thought to himself, just as they neared the end of the tunnel. He grinned and licked his lips before returning his face to a more serious look as he turned around to address the younger riders and their dragons.

"Alright now. Once we step out of here and into the main chamber, I'm gonna be separating from you all, and I want you four to make your way down into the center of the area."

And without even giving the four of them any opportunity to respond, the canine turned on his heels and stepped out into the light, leaving the group briefly confused before they followed after him. When they exited the tunnel, and their eyes once again adjusted to the light of the sun, all four of them were collectively stunned, mouths dropping at the sight before them. Another wide staircase extended out before them, down towards an arena of some sort with similar stairs mirrored on the other side, which led up to a large platform. The platform connected outside, carved into the side of the temple walls and totally hidden from sight to anyone facing the front, a perfect entrance for dragons and their riders already in flight. And on either side of the two entrances were rows upon rows of seats that wrapped around the central area, sort of like spectator stands back in the colosseum that they used for sports.

"Wow, they really go all out don't they?"

"This definitely is a fitting place for sparring or a fight that's for sure."

"Maybe Verdin, but it could be for anything." Besides, if all they really wanted us to do was fight each other, we could have easily done all of this in the colosseum. There wouldn't have even been a need for a place like this. Zed thought to himself, looking around for some sort of clue. He noticed there were a number of other dragon-rider pairs already sitting down throughout the rows of seating, most of them separated from others but a few were in groups together, all of them likely here as spectators for whatever the test was meant to be.

Guess we might as well get it started I suppose. the human thought again, before taking the first step into the open space and beginning to descend the newest flight of stairs in front of him. His friends began to follow after him, each one looking around as he was, their appearance into the open area drawing the attention of their audience for the event. Choosing to ignore the numerous eyes staring at them, Zed continued to make his way towards the central area, not even stopping or looking around anymore until all four of them stood in the middle of the entire space. However, even as they stood there for several minutes, nothing seemed to happen besides some of the people above them stop staring and return to their previous conversations, which let Zed busy himself with his own thoughts.

There aren't that many reasons why they would choose to build a place like this just for the legion's personal use. If they really did want a battle than the colosseum would have been better, plus everyone could have watched us besides just members of the legion. The only reason that I can think of for all of this would be that this final phase is something that the royal family and legion members want to keep as a secret from the general public. And if that is in fact the case... then that can only mean that this trail is related to all the-...

"Welcome to the Dragon Legion Temple young riders and dragons."

The sudden greeting broke Zed's train of thought and make him look upwards to see Damion above them on a small overhang standing next to a large brown wolf, someone that every member of the legion knew. Adrian Kober was the commander of the entire Dragonrider Legion and a wolf of great size and skill, standing nearly seven feet tall with muscles almost bulging under his armor, and despite his size and authority, a very kind individual to everyone in the city. And next to him was his equally large partner, Zeral Revis, a black dragon with scales shining like polished obsidian stones and lime green eyes that looked down upon the four test takers.

Both of them were the strongest and most accomplished members of the entire legion, and Zed couldn't help but feel a little surprised that such an important person would be here for their test. However, he didn't have time to dwell on such thoughts when the hulking wolf began to speak again, his deep and powerful voice carrying across the entire space, everyone else having fallen silent when their commander first spoken up.

"I would like to first congratulate you four on reaching this point in your training after only two months together. It is a rare occurrence for someone to progress as quickly as you guys have, and that is why I personally wanted to come and watch your final trial as well, since none of the other pairs have been able to match the rate at which you four have developed."

To actually be praised by someone of Adrian's position was something that shouldn't be taken lightly, something that showed the small group the wolf was expecting great things from all of them, and none of them wished to disappoint their commander now after such a realization.

"Now, I'm sure you boys are wondering just what this final trial actually is, considering you have yet to be told anything about that. And I'll bet that has unnerved you all to some extent, but there is no need to worry anymore. You're trial is actually very simple, but also quite difficult in certain regards, and just to let you know now, it won't be a trail of combat. Instead, what you will be undergoing before us is a trial of bonds."

The smirk that Adrian gave as he spoke, which his partner saw fit to add to with his own, only confirmed the human's suspicions from before, the pieces finally connecting in his head. The realization of what was about to be asked of them made Zed smirk to himself in a mixed sensation of excitement and arousal. To think something like this would be the final phase for us to pass... though I guess it makes sense considering the need for a hidden space like this and all of the changes that we have gone through.

"What is a trial of bonds exactly commander?"

"That is a good question Alvaker."

The new voice surprised both Adrian and Justin, as the dragon beside the former decided to step more forward and speak. The wolf turned to look at his partner, chuckling as he watched the large black dragon, who still wore a smirk of his own.

"I didn't expect you to want to speak as well Zeral."

"Oh come on Adrian, we rarely get to participate in viewing these tests, so why shouldn't I try and get a little involved every now and again. Don't get very many changes after all, but anyways let's get back to the questions. You asked what a trail of bonds was correct? Well, for the sake of time and patience I'll tell you in the simplest of terms. The trial of bonds is a test that shows the legion how connected a dragon and his rider are, by them fucking each other in front of everyone present."

There was an eerily silence following what Zeral said, each of the official dragons and riders in the audience looked over the group, many of them grinning as they waited to see how the four males below them would react to the news of what they would have to do. And what Adrian saw actually impressed him for the most part, with only the cheetah showing any sort of nervousness or reservations about the task set before them, if his blush was any indication. Whereas around him, the two dragons and human chuckled with a smirk on each of their faces, as if they looked forward to it.

"Heh, hit the proverbial nail on the head this time."

"You actually managed to figure that this'd be the final trail Zed?"

"Only just a few minutes ago Verdin to be honest, but everything clicks when you think about it."

"Hehe, who cares? This'll be a lot more fun than some fight would've been."

The wide grin that Ryalon wore showed just how eager he was to have some naughty fun, though dragons were never shy about their sexual activities to begin with, and Verdin looked just as interested in an opportunity to have fun as much as the other dragon. Justin, however, was the only person among them to not look so enthusiastic, his cheeks nearly bright crimson from blushing so hard as he listened to his friends and partner talk like this was an everyday thing.

"G-guys, come on. Are you three really ok with this? Isn't it just a little off-putting to be asked to do something like this to get accepted?"

"Just think about what Zeral said Justin. Everyone here has already gone through this, so we won't be doing anything they haven't done themselves. Plus, from what Ry's told me, both of us know you and Verdin have been messing around just like he and I have."

Learning that his close rival knew what he and Verdin had been doing only made Justin blush all the more, his cheeks so flushed with color the red was easily visible under his golden fur. His eyes gazed down and to the side, and his ears swiveled back in embarrassment, never thinking that he'd be called out and exposed like this. The cheetah would have continued to squirm and blush on the spot if his partner didn't walk over to him, the green dragon leaning over to nuzzle comfortingly against his cheek and muzzle.

"He's right kitty, you don't have to be embarrassed about it. Everyone up there has done the same things we have and probably more, so don't worry, just enjoy it. Cause now we can have fun without hiding it or you worrying what others might think."

Justin lifted his gaze to look back to his partner, the large dragon smiling softly as he stood next to his rider, and the cheetah could see that Verdin was genuinely trying to comfort him, relax him. He sighed softly before he nuzzled back, wrapping his arms around the scaly neck and hugging the dragon's head close, holding the other male against him for several long moments before letting him go and smirking at his partner.

"If we gotta do this, might as well give them as good a show as we can aye pal?"

"Now that's the frisky feline I know."

The green-scaled male grinned at his partner, growling softly as he turned back to Zed and Ryalon, nodding his head to the both of them, who both smirked and nodded in return. With all of them in agreement to undergo the test, they all looked back up to their commander and his partner, before Zed spoke for all of them.

"We're ready when you are sir, just tell us what you want."

Both Adrian and Zeral smirked once more at the four males down in front of them, somewhat proud that they would choose to go forward with the trail, their determination earning the respect of the wolf and black dragon. They looked around at the rest of the audience, every dragon and their rider still smirking as well, some even shuffling around already to get ready to watch the trail, or more likely participate in the fun themselves. The large wolf nodded his head as he turned back to look at the young riders and dragons below, licking his lips before he spoke again.

"Very good. This trial, as Zeral so bluntly put it, is for you four to show us just how strong the bond between you and your partner is through your sexual exploits. And just to let you boys know now, most of your audience probably won't be watching you too closely anyways, cause they'll be enjoying their own fun too much to pay close attention."

The commander chuckled to himself as he finished, leaning against his partner and rubbing down the dragon's neck, electing a rumbling murr for his efforts as he shifted his attention from those below to the black-scaled male. And Zed took the wolf's choice to focus on his partner as the cue for them to start their own fun, turning to his partner and friends with another mischievous smirk, one which they returned back to him.

"Well boys, I'd say his shift in attention is as good a signal as any for us to go ahead and start. Now you two have your fun, while me and Ry have some of our own too."

"Oh, don't worry about that. I'm sure we'll be having plenty of fun Zed, just try not to get too jealous if we do better than the both of you."

If that wasn't some sort of challenge between both parties, than Zed didn't know what was, all he could do was smirk back at the cocky feline, silently accepting as both duos turned from one another and stepped to opposite ends of the arena. Neither party knew just what the others did together in the privacy of their rooms, nor did they know what all would happen now, but such thoughts were unimportant in those moments. This was an ordeal to see if they were worthy of being a part of the legion, and even more important than that, it was a challenge between rivals, one that neither rider wanted to lose in...

~ * ~ * ~ * ~

"I really can't believe that this, of all things, would be our last trial."

Justin was simply thinking out loud as he and Verdin walked towards one side of the little arena they were in, loosening the straps of his armor as he went. He couldn't believe he was really about to do this, to have sex with his partner in front of everyone, even if they wouldn't actually be paying close attention to them as the commander had said.

"I'll admit it is rather unexpected, but it's not something we will actually complain about anymore right kitty?"

Verdin couldn't help the smirk that was spread across his muzzle, dragons were raised in the legion to enjoy any manner of mating and bare no shame about it, to just have fun and not worry about the small things. His loins were already throbbing in anticipation, the heat building as thoughts of what he would be doing flashed through his head, making his hidden shaft swell and the tip peak out from between his legs. The growing heat and arousal drew a soft growl from the green dragon's throat, which only deepened to a more lustful tone as he watched his feline partner finally strip himself bare and nervously curl his tail around his leg as he stood there, uncertain of what move he should make first.

"Hehe, you know, you look pretty cute when you're all flustered and uncomfortable like that Justin."

The words came out in a deep, lustful growl that sent a tingling shiver up Justin's spine, making him even more nervous, especial when he noticed the dragon begin to circle around him. The cheetah watched with uneasy eyes as his partner strolled around him, unable and at the same time not wanting to move, his sheath starting to plump up from all of the unusual tension even as his eyes found themselves falling back to the dragon's dangling member as it continued to swell and make its presence known. A single revolution, just one slow, teasingly arousing walk around was all the reprieve that Verdin afforded him before he pounced, suddenly slamming himself against the feline from behind and sending him down onto the sand and dust-covered ground.

"Oomph!"

He let out a small grunt of pain as his bare chest hit the ground, briefly knocking the air out of him, which was all the time that Verdin needed for what he had planned. He stepped forward and placed a hefty paw against the top of Justin's back, and just as the cheetah was about to speak, he leaned his head down and ran his long tongue along his partner's fuzzy cleft. The sudden jolt of pleasure brought from that oh so familiar appendage made the breath catch in Justin's throat, and instead of words what can out was a brief gasp, which quickly turned into a loud groan as the tongue continued to slide between those pert yellow cheeks.

"Mmm, don't worry kitty. I'm not gonna hurt you, just get you nice and slick for what's to come. It's likely to be a long rut this time."

And it was no sooner that had Verdin said those words before his thick tongue pushed right into the cheetah's tailhole, the slick muscle easily spreading the loosened ring and delving deep into those increasingly more experienced inside. His tongue writhed around, twisting and turning deeper into the feline's backside, and making Justin moan louder as it ground against his prostate. The dragon growled as he listened to the sounds of his partner's pleasure, always entertained by how easily he could make the smaller male writhe and moan in place with just his tongue, his shaft throbbing in desire as the moans increased in pitch. But Verdin was nothing if not a patient individual, and felt content enough with just tongue fucking the helpless little kitty laying sprawled out in front of him, completely at his mercy.

Meanwhile, just off to the side, Ryalon was facing a similar, though likely more exhilarating, experience at the hands of his own partner. He was sprawled out on his back, wings spread out and twitching with each movement he made, and his maw was wide open as he groaned heavily in pleasure. The dragon squirmed as his partner's talented hands and tongue ran themselves up and down along his throbbing length, making him pant hotly and spurt another droplet of pre onto his underbelly. Zed smirked as he looked up into Ryalon's already blissfully dazed face, chuckling to himself as he lifted his head back up, fingers continuing to stroke along that thick length and tease the sensitive ridges.

"Heheh, looks like someone is already enjoying his final trial. But let's not have me do all the work here draggy, why do you use that tail of yours and spread yourself open so you're nice and loose when I breed that hot scaly rump once again?"

The dragon merely moaned again in reply, those strong and nimble fingers working his shaft and ridges so perfectly, driving him even crazier with euphoric pleasure. Ryalon could do little more than nod for a definite response, his body having already surrounded to the human's techniques that his mind barely could hold on to itself, only faintly registering the suggestion through the thickening haze of lust before agreeing to it. The nimble appendage twitched before curling up and bending backwards, the blunt tip sliding up along the rest of the length in search of his own tailhole, and sliding in almost immediately once he found it. He groaned loudly as his tail sunk into his backside, his mind barely noticing just how deep his tail went in, nudging against his prostate and making his body shiver more in lust.

"That's it big boy, just keep giving in to that lust."

Zed chuckled to himself at how eager and easy to toy with his partner had become over the two months they've spent together, how quickly the dragon becomes aroused, and how deep he can fall into his lust. It was just how the human wanted him, his partner, his friend, his dragon, and his... newest lover. He couldn't deny it, ever since they had been together, he hadn't gone after any other person or even thought about another male or female in an intimate sort of way. Heh, not that there could be anyone that would be able to match a dragon as a partner. I can see one reason why the legion does this sort of thing, with a bond this strong and intimate, we won't be distracted by anything outside ourselves. It's perfect really.

"Ohhhh god, Vince. That tongue of yours is just too much some times."

The purring moan caught Zed's attention, he knew that voice, and the nickname. He tilted his head up to his right and smirked when he saw the otter and water dragon again in the stands, the rider leaning back, muzzle hanging open as he panted hotly while the blue-scaled dragon's head bobbed up and down in his lap. Jutting from the otter's loins was an impressive maleness, easily fourteen inches long and pretty thick to boot, but Vincent was bobbing his head over the big length like he was born to do it despite his smaller than average frame. And from the look on his scaly face, the dragon was enjoying tasting his partner just as much as the otter was enjoying the tongue roaming all over his big cock.

"Impressive, but not as big as mine though otter. But it looks like they're having plenty of fun."

Zed voiced his thoughts aloud, knowing that no one but Ryalon could hear him, and the dragon was too lost in his own lust that even he wasn't paying attention, his tail still pistoning deep into his own behind like he was told to do, head leaning back as he moaned once again. The human chuckled as he enjoyed the arousing display, but decided he wanted to take a look around at the other people in the stands, and when he did, he saw a variety of positions for sexual pleasure one could give another being performed all around.

He saw one earth dragon on his back with his female lynx partner grinding her whole body against his thick maleness in a mock form of a boob job, the reptile's brown scales shifting about as the muscles flexed below them in pleasure. And another fire dragon was hunched over, smoke billowing from his nostrils as he thrust his hips forward, burying his red hot shaft deeper into a large tiger who was groaning through the entire ordeal. The human even saw a raunchy foursome going on towards the back, a pair of slim lightning dragons double teaming a weasel from both ends as a buff dingo took one of the yellow-scaled reptiles from behind. There were other groups scattered about in the seats as well, and Zed couldn't help but grin at the sight of so many highly-skilled individuals enjoying themselves, collectively lost in the thralls of passion with one another without any hint of concern or hesitation.

However, the ones that caught his eye the most were, of course, the commander and Damion, the large canines mingling with their dragons right in front of his eyes. He watched as the Tibetan mastiff ran his tongue along the glistening water dragon's shaft, laying prone across his partner's underbelly while he was assaulted by the reptile's tongue plunging itself deep into his backside. And to his left was Adrian and his partner Zeral, the black-scaled dragon also laying on his back with the wolf sprawled out above him, their muzzles interlocked together in a passionate kiss as their large members ground against one another. Watching them and all the others only managed to arouse Zed even more, the leg of his pants bulging with the thick throbbing meat of his own cock.

Mmmph, this is what I call a party. Now to get in on the action myself, I can't keep my partner waiting too much longer.

The human looked back down at the dragon in front of him, and grinned as he lifted one of his pre-soaked hands from the dripping shaft in front of him and reached down to fish out his own manhood, the large member reaching nearly 18 inches in length as it fell out of his pants and onto the dragon's scaly hips with an audible smack. Zed was proud of the monster his cock had transformed into over the past few weeks, not nearly as huge as most of the dragons or riders from some of the larger species to be sure, but it was still an impressive piece of meat nonetheless. And now he was about to put the giant shlong to good use once again.

"Get ready Ry, cause playtime is over. Now we're getting to the real fun."

His voice was deeper, more lustful, as he spoke, his other hand leaving the fire drake's cock and trailing grasp the squirming tail lodged inside its owner, and start to drag it out, the scales glistening in a mixture of sweat and sexual fluids. The deep, familiar voice of his rider, along with the sudden sensation of his tail being removed, were enough to rouse Ryalon's sex-addled mind from its stupor, just in time to make him groan loudly at how empty he felt without something inside him after how hard his tail mindlessly went to town on his hidden depths.

"Ohhhh, sir..." he moaned, tilting his head to stare back at the human between his legs, his eyes still partially glazed and full of need, "it feel so empty now. Please give me the real thing, I can't wait anymore for it."

Before this all started, Ryalon would have likely never used such a needy tone, or begged for anyone to mount him, but the months spent with Zed, coupled with the effects of their drug-tainted food have really tempered the hot-headed dragon. He didn't care anymore what other people thought of him, about how he acted sexually now with his rider, no, the only ones he cared about now were Zed and their friends. And now here he was, laying prone on his back in front of anyone that was watching from above, with a human between his legs, and begging him to mount and breed his tailhole. It was just how he liked it now, and he wouldn't change for anything like he might have at the beginning. But Zed didn't let the big scaly beast think much more about it, as he straddled the thick tailbase and lined himself up with the dragon's loosened pucker, and pressed forward, making them both moan out in pleasure.

"Heh, I think that's enough preparing for you kitty."

The dragon's words were slurred slightly as he slid his thick, sloppy tongue out of the squirming male in front of him, grinning down at his handiwork, his equally thick cock dripping just as much below him as the rear before him was. This was the part that Verdin loved the most, being able to tease and toy with his partner using just his tongue, knowing just how easily it riles the feline up to have the flexible organ inside him. But after tasting the rider's sweet rump this entire time, the dragon was finished with teasing and ready for the real excitement, his shaft giving an extra spurt of pre as it throbbed at the thought.

_Preparing, again all this was preparing me?! I'm already fit to burst you scaly bastard._Justin thought to himself, a mixture of exhaustion and irritation coursing through him as he panted, his body stiff from the waves of pleasure that rocked themselves up his spine. The cheetah still couldn't believe how weak he gets from being rimmed, it was something he'd never even considered until that first night he succumbed to his partner's musky scent, and now the dragon almost never went a full day without doing it at least once to him. It had turned into one of his guilty pleasures, the feeling of that muscle wiggling deep under his tail, stretching him out more than some of the other riders could do with their whole cocks, he even loved how empty, incomplete it made him feel afterwards just before Verdin would impale him on his gigantic cock.

And Verdin didn't leave his kitty waiting for very long either, claws scraping against the dusty floor close to the rider's head as the green dragon moved above him, the dripping dragonhood grinding against his already soaked rumpfur, so long Justin could see it curve it's way between his spread leg. The sight of that thick monster and the feel of it rubbing against his upturned backside and throbbing sheath made the feline meow softly in desperation, wanting it inside of him already.

"Please V, quit messing around. I can't hold out much longer."

"Heh, don't worry kitty. I'm just getting one last tease in."

The dragon was true to his word, his hips shifting back a bit almost immediately after he spoke, dragging his shaft along the fluffy butt under him until the tip nudged itself against the cheetah's stretched pucker. He waited for just a second more before he pushed himself in, the tapered head easily piercing its way deep into Justin's insides, tailhole spreading wider around the thick cock and making both parties moan in mutual pleasure. The feeling of being filled so well always came so sudden, so forcefully, that the rider couldn't help but moan, and the same for the dragon with how tight his partner's hole always seemed to be when it was stretched by his enormous length.

"Ohhhhhh, V. Please... don't stop. Harder! You pushed me too far already. And besides... we're here to put on a show right?"

He was panting again, from lust instead of exhaustion like before, his heart pumping as the rush of getting fucked coursed its way through his tired body. Justin managed to look back over his shoulder and smirk at the dragon above him, who returned the smirk, growling deeply as he drew his hips back again.

"If that's the way you want it kitty, then let's put on a show."

Both of them knew, no one was actually watching them or Zed and Ryalon, they could hear the sounds of sex all around them, and so any show they made would likely be ignored for the most part. But they didn't let that realization dampen their spirits, or their lust, they were in it for their own reasons, and they would put on the show just for kicks. And Verdin wasted no time in continuing, his hips slamming back into the helpless cheetah below him, pushing nearly two-thirds of his thirty-inch length in deeply and drawing another groan of pleasure from Justin. His stomach bulged out slightly as the dragon impaled him again, the shaft's girth pushing the feline's pucker wider than any fist could, and yet all the cheetah could really feel was the immense fullness and pleasure that came along with being stuffed by his partner's cock.

There was still pain, yes, it'd be impossible normally to take a dragon's shaft without feeling any, but the sensation was minimal and far outclassed by the exhilarating pleasure that coursed through both parties. The dragon's green scales clicked faintly against one another as his muscles flexed with each motion of his hips, tail flicking and wing twitching as he drew back again and pushed his way forward once more, no longer pausing between each as he bucked harder above his rider in rhythmic bliss. Verdin had been with other dragons before too, both mounting and being mounted just like almost every dragon Ryalon included, but none of those encounters ever felt quite like those he's shared with Justin. The tightness of the cheetah's tailhole around him, the lustful purring moans, and even the tingling feeling of soft fur against scales were just things that made it so much better than with other dragons.

Justin was left speechless by the force used to pound into him again and again, his abused pucker getting spread wider with each thrust, shooting jolts of pleasure up his spine. He could barely even moan now with how hard and deep he was penetrated, only able to pant heavily beneath his partner, his own cock dribbling pre like a faucet. His thin tail twitched and swayed between them both in pleasure, the muscles in his arms and legs spasming out of control, and yet the cheetah could only buck himself back against the gloriously endowed shaft for more. Every time Verdin pushed himself back in, he could feel his partner's hole try futilely to tighten up around him, the muscles flexing deliciously along his sensitive flesh and making him spurt another thick glob of dragon pre deep inside the incredibly stretched backside.

Even if it is useless, ungh... those rippling contractions still feel amazing. Now to reward the little kitty.

The dragon growled lustfully as his threw his hips forward, the smacking audible along with the erotic squishing sound as his pre-slick shaft pushed in again, harder and faster than before, stunning Justin and making his breath get caught in his throat. He grinned toothily as his long serpentine tail snuck its way under both of them, curving upwards to wrap itself around the dangling, barb-covered length and giving it a stroke, a dragon that valued mutual pleasure above anything else would only naturally do such a thing. The sudden pressure of the tail and the stroke it gave drew another groan from smaller male, making his hips instinctively buck further into the coils, and then back onto Verdin himself, his cock dripping and throbbing like mad now from him being assaulted from both sides.

"Ohhhhh."

It was all Justin could do to moan out in pleasure, his body shaking under the belly of his much larger partner, at his mercy as he was impaled again and again by the dragon's cock, the tail reserve stroking in time with the movements of their hips. The position left the cheetah rapidly approaching his limit as he pushed back against those powerful legs before going forward and pumping himself through those scaly coils. He only managed a few more humps either direction before groaning out deeply, throwing himself forward again into the tail below him as his cock throbbed violently, spurting out shot after long, creamy shot of cheetah seed across the dusty floor. His sudden climax caused his tailhole to clench even tighter around the dragon, electing a grunt and throaty growl from Verdin as he was forced to halt his mounting to avoid harming his partner.

"Oomph, cumming already kitty?"

"Hah... Hah... S-sorry V. C-couldn't hold out any more, you pushed me too far with that tongue of yours again."

The wind dragon couldn't help but smirk at that, relaxing slightly as he waited, watching his poor little kitty writhe through a climax, those inner muscles flexing and stroking along his engorged shaft. He could wait, there wasn't a rush after all, no time limit was ever stated and if the cacophony of moans and groans above were any indication, the 'trial' would only conclude once everyone was too tired to go on. Yes, he had plenty of time to continue playing with his rider.

"Hehehe, no worries Justin. But, don't think we're anywhere close to done. I haven't peaked yet and no one else has slowed down at all. Prepare yourself, my little kitty, you're in for quite a bit more."

Even as he panted and tried to catch his breath from the body-shaking orgasm he just had, Justin could help but gulp and shiver at the low, sultry tone his partner used, it never bode well for him whenever Verdin spoke to him like that.

"Slurp... heh, looks like the boys are starting to really get into it huh Adrian?"

"I'd have to agree Zeral. Both pairs seem to be trying to put on a good show even though they realize most of us up here aren't paying much attention anymore."

Adrian smirked back over to his partner, the black dragon still on his back, though now the wolf himself had spun around to put both of them in the middle of a sixty-nine session with one another before the larger male spoke up. The brown wolf never could understand Zeral's need to always speak out in the middle of their fun, especially when it meant he had to stop as well to respond and keep him away from trying to make the big dragon squirm again like he used to when they first partnered up years ago. But the commander couldn't really stay mad at him either, he had been looking over the four newbies too, watching how they enjoyed one another even as he slid his long tongue over his partner's intimidating three foot length. The giant shaft pulsed in time with Zeral's quickened heartbeat, the veins throbbing along the surface as its tapered tip dripped another bead of delicious dragon pre down the already slick sides.

Even the wolf would admit that he worried about the cheetah, his years of reading people telling him the feline was uneasy about the situation earlier, but now his view had changed as he looked at the pair below him. The younger rider had gotten more into the acts as time progressed, and became a lot more vocal in his feelings since he was mounted by the green dragon too, his slim body rocking with each thrust his partner drove into him. As for the human and his dragon, he didn't feel much concern for them at all when he saw them, both males surprisingly calm and looking forward to the test after they heard what it was, it actually was a little too calm for Adrian. He had honestly not met another more easy-going pair since himself and... But the commander's partner wouldn't let him finish his train of thought, the dragon's dexterous tongue wrapping itself around his throbbing cock, gliding all over the sensitive skin, and paying extra attention to the swollen knot at the base where it seemed the bigger male enjoyed to tease the high-ranking officer.

"Gah! Do you always have to dive for the knot?"

"Hehehe, oh you know you love it just as much as I do. Such a sexy extension after all, I can't get enough of the big thing."

Zeral grinned wickedly from under his partner's throbbing twenty-two inch length, the entire organ soaked liberally in saliva and pre, and knot swelled to just over half its full seven and a half inch size. The large wolf growled as he felt that tongue run along the sensitive bulbous glands, gritting his teeth as his toes curled and muscles twitched in pleasure, the dragon's obsession with knots not lost to either party after the years they've spent together. But Adrian wouldn't let the scaly beast have all the fun, grinning to himself as he dove back onto the spire of flesh beside him, assaulting the dripping cock's ridges with his tongue in retaliation for his partner's attention on his growing knot. The action had the desired effect, making Zeral groan heavily under the wolf, who could feel the sudden intake of air and warm breath that washed itself over his dangling loins as the dragon exhaled again.

"Ha! Turnabout's fair play big boy."

It was then that their favorite game was on again, like a staring gun had went off in their heads, both of them grinning towards one another before diving back to their partner's maleness and going about assaulting the hefty packages once more. This time though there wasn't any part of the shafts left untouched, no special attention to knot or ridges. Instead they went about pleasuring each other orally like it was a competition, tongues gliding along sensitive flesh and sending sparks of bliss up the other's spine, both of them vibrating the shafts in their maws as they moaned loudly around them, only to repeat the cycle again because of it.

And just next to the competing duo was another male writhing in pleasure, the large Tibetan mastiff getting assaulted by his own partner from both ends, his naked body twitching in Greador's lap as he almost completely dominated his rider. The water dragon's blue scales shined a beautiful hue of sapphire under the sheen of scale polish and sweat as he impaled Damion's muscular rump again and again over his cock, pushing nearly three-quarters of the thirty-two inch length deep inside and spreading him wide with seven of its over nine inch girth. The dog could barely moan from the pleasure as Greador's thick tongue plugged itself in his mouth, the muscle intertwining itself with his own and muffling any sort of sound the canine tried to utter through the tongue gag and lip-locked muzzles. When it came down to his partner, Damion was just like his pet name, a puppy the dragon could toy with and tease every moment of the day. And if his throbbing, pre and cum-coated shaft between them was any indication, the typically gruff and stern male was enjoying every bit of the treatment he was getting from his scaly partner, the ten inch length throbbing harder, knot already formed and tapered tip dripping even more pre onto the both of them.

My big puppy is always so cute when he's like this. So cute I just want to ravish him all the more!

The dragon's thoughts were followed by a low, rumbling growl, which was the only warning the dazed dog got before the world started spinning, his partner surprisingly swift despite his unusual size amongst water dragons, turning the both of them around before Damion could even react. In moments everything was different for the canine's dulled senses, his upper back against the large stone seating, a clawed paw pressed firmly down on his chest. The tongue was gone, but the thick cock was still buried inside of him, a fact soon made apparent as Greador dragged his hips back, grinning widely above his confused partner before thrusting back into him and making them both moan out in pleasure.

"Ahhhhh... gods! Gre, harder! Breed me please."

"Ungh, don't you worry puppy. That was the plan."

The blue scales twitched and bent as their owner's muscles flexed, hips gyrating back and forth, and pistoning the large spire of dragon cock into Damion again and again, both males groaning out the pleasure they were feeling as one took the other. Seizing the opportunity, the Tibetan mastiff threw a paw around his aching shaft and started to pump himself, his fingers slipping down over the slick flesh in time with Greador's thrusts forward, the pleasure soaring for the dog as he was assaulted from both sides. He only managed to last another minute before reaching his peak again, muscles convulsing as the cock throbbed violently, shooting another batch of fresh dog cum across his sweat-drenched chest. Damion groaned heavily as he came, his paw a blur as he stroked himself through his orgasm, and inner walls flexing and squeezing down even tighter around the dragonhood still impaled within him. The euphoric feeling of his partner's passage massaging itself around his sensitive, dripping organ sent Greador over the edge too, managing to thrust himself in as deep as he could go just before his tip erupted in a shower of dragon sperm, shot after thick shot being pumped into the dog's abused tailhole.

Both of them were left gasping for breath, panting heavier from their second mutual orgasms, and heated, sweat-coated bodies slumped over one another slightly as they recovered. Greador craned his neck down to look his partner in the eye, smiling as his hot breath washed over the canine's face, who could only smile back with how tired he was at the moment.

"Heh... that was a teasing start there Gre. I couldn't even moan around that thick tongue of yours."

"Oh, don't act you weren't having fun puppy. We know just how much you enjoy getting it from both ends."

Damion blushed at the comment, turning his head to the side in slight embarrassment, knowing just how right his partner was. Despite how he acted around others, he liked nothing more than feeling his blue-scaled partner dominating his body so completely, the strong muscles holding him down, with tongue and cock impaling him from either side. He was totally helpless in those positions and the dog couldn't say he'd want to be anywhere else if given an option for one.

"Haha, even after all these years you still blush over that little weakness of yours."

"Only cause you keep saying it so-"

"Enough talk Damion. Hope you're ready for round three. We're going til we drop, just like all the other times."

~ * ~ * ~ * ~

The final phase to officially become a member of the Dragonrider Legion was known by a special name amongst its members and the royal family, who were the only people in Arcove outside of the legion to know its hidden side, and that was The Three Hour Enrollment Celebration. And true to its name, none who had entered the remote temple were seen for at least that long during every trial in the past, and this one was no exception, as the four who undertook the endeavor soon found out. Both of the riders and dragons laid sprawled out across the floor, panting heavily from exerting themselves literally until they dropped, with everyone above them in the stands fairing no better.

"Hah... Hah... Hah... man, I can't believe... we actually fucked ... the whole way through."

"Was tough for sure Ry. Hah, but we managed somehow."

"Oi, you two be quiet over there. I'm busy dying out over here."

"Now don't be so dramatic kitty. You're not that exhausted."

"Oh, shut up V. You didn't have a giant dragon cock in you for three hours."

Three of the four chuckled at their situation, unable to move and covered almost entirely in cum from head-to-toe, skill as naked as the day they were born just like most of their supposed audience. Many of them were slouched against one another in some form or another, breathing deeply as their tired and dripping bodies rested, all of them waiting on the word of the commander to officially call an end to things. Knowing that he had to do it or else no one would leave, the brown wolf ignored the dull aches his body gave and forced himself onto his footpaws, fur drenched in and dripping sweat, cum, and an assortment of other bodily fluids as he made his way over to the balcony. He breathed in deeply and steadied himself, at least trying to look like the competent male he normally was, despite feeling just as fatigued as most of the others present around him.

"Well now, I would like to first thank everyone that showed up to also participate in this little tradition of ours. And I also wish to congratulate our four newest legion members on an impressive display today. I'll be expecting good things from you boys, hope you don't disappoint me or your new brothers and sisters-in-arms. Cheers for our new comrades and the prosperity of all of Arcove!"

The large wolf smirked slightly as a chorus of tired but somehow still heartfelt cheers echoed in the wake of his speech. He chuckled lightly before giving the signal that ended the gathering, letting all of the tired but satisfied crowd disperse and be on their way to clean themselves off and get some well-earned rest. Zed, Justin, and their partners also made a slow and tired exit, following some of the others to a small reservoir of water the members typically used to clean their aching bodies of various fluids before heading off to somewhere else. The four friends were too exhausted to even talk much as they wiped the caked-on results of their celebratory escapades, each on helping one another to speed up the process so they could return home and collapse on their beds.

Within the span of twenty minutes they were all cleaned and dried off thanks to Ryalon's heated breath, spending only a bit more time for the two riders to dress themselves before all of them made their way to the dorms again. By the time the party managed to complete the track back on foot, the sun was settling down along the horizon, casting a beautiful display of colors across the evening sky for the young males as they stepped back into their building and ducked into their conjoined living quarters. They all but dropped dead once they closed the door, managing only a few more steps each to fall onto a couch or floor cushion, and letting out a collective sigh of relief to finally be able to relax again.

"We finally did it guys. We're official, a part of the legion. Now if only we could actually move and not seem like a bunch of lazy bums haha."

"Heh, with you there Zed. I think I've got aches in places I never even knew existed before."

"I don't think I'll be up for going through that sort of thing again anytime soon Z. No offense."

"None taken big guy."

"Let's just hope whomever next gets chosen for that thing, it's not for at least another month. Right kitty?"

"Definitely V. Don't think I'll be able to sit for at least a week now."

The four of them all laughed at each other's comments, enjoying their time together regardless of how exhausted they were at the moment. But even the exciting fact that they had passed the final hurdle of their dream profession couldn't keep away the tendrils of sleep that swept over the friends, each one soon dozing off where they were, content in how their day was spent well enough and that they had all grown a little closer to one another. And as for what would happen after they woke up again? Well, that was another exciting story all its own, but let's just say it involved a lot more time together as a group instead of divided apart and hidden away in bedrooms, although the activities didn't change a bit... except for a new ritual of their own that involved a foursome every now and again.

The End... for now
