Counter Earth Chronicles

Chapter 6: Meanwhile In The Forest....

Day 3 continued

Late that afternoon Lea brought me my dinner- another vile of the orange liquid known as nourishment. She sat and listened while I told her of the day's events.

"Are all rebels that stupid?" I asked.

"I don't know, I have never met any of them." The sexy she beast said. "By the way Alex, how are you feeling?"

"After being devastated yesterday evening and completely devastated this morning. I don't know. I had no reaction to this latest bombshell. You know, one can only be destroyed so many times in the course of a few days." I told the young lioness. "Any idea what Sir Ram has in store for me?"

"Not a clue- it could be anything. He is keeping it to himself whatever it is. But I will put in a good word for you". Lea said bidding me a good evening.

I didn't know it at the time, but Lea and Tauren were continually pleading with Sir Ram behind the scenes to spare my life if, not set me free. When I found out later what both had done, I realized they were real true friends.

I did notice however, that since the dictator's judgement no one was watching my cell. If I was not deemed a security risk why not just let me roam the castle?

I spent the remaining time analyzing today's events in my head until sleep had claimed me once again. Hey, I didn't have anything else better to do.

*POOF!*

"Wakey, wakey little terrified refugee!"

I heard a voice off to my right. Groggily I opened my eyes to stare at whom had awoken me from my slumber. While I slept I had been moved; I was in yet another darkened room, but this time on a table. A spotlight shining down at me from above. As my vision cleared, I locked eyes with a young goat in a lab coat! He appeared to be around Lea's age with white fur and brown horns that were moderate in proportion to his head and body.

(Another of Sir Ram's assistants?)

"He is awake sir!" The goat said staring at the far end of the room.

(Yup. How many assistants does Sir Ram actually have?)

"Good!" Sir Ram said entering into the spotlight. He was also dressed in his white lab coat and had goggles on his head- the type one would use for heavy surgery.

"Sir Ram every one is assembled. We can begin!" A hoarse female voice to my left said.

(Wait, I know that voice- Ursa?!)

I glanced to my left to see the ursine female starring right back at me.

"Alex Winter you have been charged by our master the High Evolutionary with entering Counter Earth Illegally. After some considerable thought and abject begging from some colleagues, I have decided on a suitable punishment." The beastial scientist began.

(Uh oh!)

"Billy- you are recording this aren't you?" The ram asked his assistant.

"Yes sir!" Billy responded. "Alex Winter we are gathered here today to render your punishment." The young goat said pulling out a very large needle from his lab coat.

(Yikes!)

"Sir Ram, what is going on here?" I asked horrified.

"We are delivering your punishment little human!" The he beast said a he produced a large needle from his lab coat as well.

I looked at Lady Ursa who seemed to be indifferent during the High Evolutionary's judgement earlier. Well she wasn't indifferent now; she produced a very large needle also.

"Sir Ram!" I pleaded. "Please don't!"

"He thinks he is going to be killed!" The young goat scoffed.

"Alex, calm down your life is NOT in danger." Lady Ursa said reassuringly.

"It's not?!" I asked in disbelief.

"Of course not little human. I have listened to the chorus that has been pestering me for the last few hours. You are not to be killed." The ram sneered as he pressed a button at the far end of the table. "Besides there are far more worse things one can administer in this life then just death!"

In a instant the clothes that I had been wearing were transported off my body and reappear elsewhere in the room! I was stark naked in front of all the beastials present-like the day of my physical.

No sooner had my clothes been removed, My wrists and ankles were tied together making it all but impossible for me to escape. My arms, stomach and legs were also marked- in preparation for... something.

Realizing I was uncomfortably restrained, the beastials decided to begin. *POIK!* The goat to my right plunged his needle deep into my arm! *POIK!* Lady Ursa did the same to my other arm! Both injected some type of solution into me. The needles hurt very much but that was masked by the solution- it burned!

The pain was excruciating. As I was trying to recover from this indignanty, Sir Ram decided to inject the contents of his needle into my legs and abdomen. *POIK!* You guessed it. That hurt too.

"What did you do to me?!" I asked as the injections continued to burn in my bloodstream and my vision blurred.

"Shh, Alex- it is ok your life is not in any danger." The she beast reassured me.

"Yeah you mentioned that before!" I barked back at her.

"It's a bit complicated for you to comprehend- but I will try to organize it into bite size pieces." The goat began. "We are resequencing your genes."

"Huh?"

"Your DNA is being rewritten!" Lady Ursa said as she applied a cold compress to my head.

I just stared at the two in disbelief.

"Do not fret boy! You will continue to live on- just not as a human." Sir Ram said condescendingly.

"What the what?"

"Oh yeah, that's right you only possess average to moderate intelligence." The beastial scientist said. "Very well, I will spell it out for you- you are joining my were-program! You are to become a man-beast. Not completely like us beastials, but close enough!"

"Think of it as making a CHANGE for the better!" Lady Ursa added.

"Oh God No!" I screamed as the solution continued its way in my bloodstream.

"Oh God Yes!" Sir Ram mocked me. "Sometimes CHANGE is good!"

"You can't! I heard your human to beast experiments were failures!" I screamed as pain enveloped my body.

"Oh yeah about that, I corrected that problem and decided to resume my trials- with you!Now every beast gather around, his transformation is about to begin!" Sir Ram cackled.

Lady Ursa grabbed my left arm, the goat did the same to my right arm and the beastial scientist took hold of both of my legs.

"So what is he going to become sir?" The young goat asked.

"That is going to be surprise! Now watch closely, it's beginning!" The Ram said as he started his narration for his scientific journal.

19:00 hours. Test subject has been selected and introduced to the new serum. Latest trials to resume- as myself, Lady Ursa and Billy wait with anticipation.

The three beastials waited.

19:01:30

Then

19:02:54

"Nothing is happening. Sir Ram." Lady Ursa interjected.

"OH!"

"Apart from the test subject screaming in pain." That is. The young goat interjected.

"Patience! His DNA is being overwritten and rewritten and his cellular structure is being rearranged." The beastial scientist said to the bear and goat. "These things take time."

19:03:34

"GUAH!!"

19:04:55

"AUGH!!"

"There he goes!" Sir Ram said resuming his narration:

19:05:40 Test subject Alex Winter's transformation has begun! Lady Ursa! Billy lift his arms!

"What is happening Sir?" The goat asked.

"That's right, the both of you have never attended one of my man-beast experiments in progress." The Ram said.

Lady Ursa and the lab assistant both shook their heads no as I continued to scream in pain.

"Look at his shoulders and arms. Thick dense fur is sprouting from his flesh. It will spread down to his torso, legs and feet completely covering them." Sir Ram said.

"The fur isn't just growing like a plant, it is bubbling up from his skin! That is gross!" The goat said as my body was coated in brown fur.

"Lady Ursa turn him on his side!" Sir Ram ordered.

"Uh why sir?" Billy asked.

"His tail is forming." The she beast said looking at my backside.

Sir Ram and Billy quickly moved to her side of the table and watched my transformation continue while I groaned in complete pain.

"What you see there is the tail forming from the base of the human spine or tail bone." The ram said as fur sprouted on the dorsal side of my body.

Lady Ursa groped my butt as it too became covered in more dense brown fur. Billy held my sprouting tail as it grew almost as long as my legs. Sir Ram continued his narration:

19:07:36 Test subject's flesh has been replaced by dense brown fur. A tail has formed from the subject's spine and is half as long as subject's legs. However, subject's rump is retaining same size and shape despite his fading human form. I will have to work on that. Subject has also experienced intense pain during transformation and continues to scream and moan.

Lady Ursa and Billy rolled me onto my back with my newly formed tail off to the side which was now becoming furry as well.

"You two! Come look at this! His genitals are reshaping!" Sir Ram said gripping my scrotum and penis for all to see.

"What is happening Sir Ram?" The she beast asked.

"The best part! This filthy stinking human is becoming even less so!" The beastial scientist said.

19:09:00 Test subject's penis is reforming. The bulbous head is stretching and expanding down the shaft forming a brown protective sheath. From what I can tell, Mr. Winter's testicles are also shrinking inside his scrotum- just slightly to accommodate his emerging animal form. Subject continues to experience excruciating pain and possibly a little terror as well.

"Wow look at his legs!" Billy exclaimed.

"What you are seeing there are his bones, and joints reforming to match his new form." The he beast exclaimed. "How do you feel Alex?"

"My head is spinning! My vision is blurry! My bones are breaking and I feel like I am being burned alive! I wished you had just killed me. It wouldn't have hurt as much! AUGH!!"

Sir Ram just smiled wickedly after hearing that.

"What is happening to his face?!" Lady Ursa said in shock.

_19:11:51 The last part of the transformation is taking place; subject's jawline and nose are elongating. Facial structure is becoming more round as are his ears. Subject is experiencing so much pain during his transformation he states that he wish he had died. _

The trio watched in wicked perversion as my jaw and nose became a small snout, complemented by black beady eyes and round ears.

19:13:59 Transformation is complete. My assistant is conducting post analysis on the newly created were-creature.

"A large head with powerful jaws, small eyes and ears, a thick body, strong legs, sharp claws, shiny thick dark fur with lighter patches over the shoulders and hips and long thick tail?! You, you- turned him into a wolverine!" The ursine warrior declared shocked.

"GRRRR!"

"I haven't had much luck with wolves recently, so I decided to try wolverines." Sir Ram reluctantly admitted. "How do you feel Mr. Winter?"

"GRRRRR!"

"I am sorry sir." The young goat said. "His sentience is gone- it faded during the transformation. You have a soul-less, ravenous two legged wolverine."

"Damn! Another failure. Come Billy let's analyze the data." The ram said storming off leaving the she bear to attend to what remained of yours truly.

"Don't worry Alex. We will find you a comfortable habitat to live in complete with burrows to dig and tunnel in." The she beast said putting away the compress as she started rubbing me on the head. Her paw was so soft.

*POOF!*

(It was a dream!)

I awoke but there was still a soft paw rubbing my forehead.

"Lady Ursa?!"

My evening nap had been interrupted by that soft paw rubbing my forehead. I awoke to see Lady Ursa in my cell by my bedside; she had let herself in.

"My lady what are you doing here? I thought you and the knights were busy hunting down the rebels?" I exclaimed in shock.

"The others are, today was originally my day off before the incursion. Lord Tiger let me have the evening off after having worked the afternoon." The ursine warrior hoarsely replied.

"You decided to spend your evening with me?- I am honored."

Apparently she had. The knight who was still dressed in her chain-mail, had brought me dessert- broiled pineapple with a touch of ice cream. Was she thanking me for saving her life earlier? Had I made a new friend?

Oddly, she did stay with me in my cell while I ate not saying a word. The silence was deafening not to mention having a six foot tall fierce ursine warrior just stare at you while you're eating was also unnerving.

At last I couldn't take anymore- I needed to say something or have her say something, one of us needed to speak. I decided to go first:

"That was some lunch date this afternoon." I joked.

She looked at me and simply replied "Yes it was."

Apparently something was weighing on her mind. Was it her cold? She still sounded hoarse. Maybe her master has her working too hard hunting down rebels...

"Still no improvement on the cold?" I asked.

"Still there and getting worse." She said.

Her answers were so short and concise- it was really disturbing and she wasn't disturbed by my compassion and empathy like she had been earlier.

After a moment Lady Ursa rose and stepped toward me. "Are you finished with the dessert?"

"Yes, thank you, it was delicious." I replied. "Thank you very much."

"Then it is time to go." She said producing a set of restrainment cuffs out of nowhere. She placed them on my wrists, grabbed my PDA and myself and proceeded to escort me from the cell.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"We are taking a little trip. That is unless you would rather sit in your cell for the rest of the evening." She replied.

"Believe me the more time I spend out of it, the happier I am." I replied.

She escorted me from the cell in the holding area through Castle Wundagore to what looked like a transportation chamber for vehicles that were used by the castle staff. I had never been to this part of the castle before and took a good look around the area before the she beast gently placed me on a vehicle that looked like a cross between a hover board and a motorized bike. After loading me on this vehicle, she threw a jacket, hat and gloves on me and mounted the vehicle herself.

As we departed, she instructed me to hold onto the handles If I got cold, I could lean into her for warmth. A door opened and we floated out of the transportation area and away from the castle.

This was my first true trip outside of the castle and I finally got see Counter Earth in full unobstructed fashion- sky scrapers as far as the eye could see.There were other vehicles as well all of them hovered and flew through the air. All quite beautiful and quite different for someone like me who had lived underground for all of his life.

Truly this was an advanced civilization and I got to see it first hand. But why was I seeing it first hand? Then it dawned on me- Tauren's absence, my dream, Sir Ram's 'something special' he had planned for me and now me being removed from the castle and being transported somewhere. It didn't take a genius to realize that this was Sir Ram's doing and indifferent Lady Ursa was involved in it as well. After giving me my last meal, the she bear was taking me somewhere most likely to be executed. If I was going to be one of Sir Ram's experiments- I would have been taken to a lab not have left the castle entirely. My heart sunk.

The sun started to set as we departed the castle and night was not too far off. We traveled for what seemed to be almost an hour from the castle- eventually arriving at a forest near a mountain range right after sunset. I was also surprised that despite it being late winter, I wasn't freezing on the trip. I wasn't cold at all maybe because I was scared.

Lady Ursa landed the -hover bike(?) near a trail leading up a hill. The she beast dismounted the vehicle and directed me up the trail to a small rise overlooking the forest. Actually I hiked Lady Ursa had her paw on my shoulder guiding me up the trail in near complete darkness. I was resigning myself to the fact that day three on Counter Earth would be my last day alive; in short I would soon be joining my friends and loved ones in the great beyond.

Eventually we arrived at a shack at the top of a hill near what sounded like a stream but in late winter? Since there was no snow on the ground I guess it was possible. I couldn't tell as it was very dark.

The shack appeared to be new, with two doors and several windows. Weird looking but much better than a tent. The ursine warrior instructed me to enter the structure. Which I did. I was expecting to find some torture chamber - but didn't. The shack was small but quaint, consisting of a table, chairs and a carpeted section containing a large sleeping bag but no bathroom- out back maybe? The second door opened out to the stream immediately behind the shack.

I was still examining the structure and wondering what this shack had been made and of what materials when I turned around and noticed Lady Ursa was standing behind me. She had pulled out what looked to be some type of device of some sort from the sleeping bag. She then picked it up and aimed it at me.

(A weapon?!)

Stupidly I asked. "Uh what is that for?"

Lady Ursa didn't answer but motioned me to walk over toward the carpet.

"Alex you saved me from being crushed by debris during the rebel incursion this afternoon. The day before you came to the minotaur's aid during the attack in the observation ring. In both incidents you risked your safety and life to come to the aid of complete strangers whom you did not know! Why?" She asked sternly.

"Why not?" I responded. "In both cases I foresaw an incident that would have resulted in severe injury or death. I had an opportunity to prevent that. So I did. It is as simple as that." I said to the ursine who was pointing that device at me.

"Not what I would have expected. On this world not many humans would have intervened to save a beastial's life." She said simply.

"Tauren is my friend. So is Lea. I would do it again with out a second thought. My lady although we don't know each other that well. I also would like to consider you a friend."

"Hmm..." The ursine warrior responded.

"So what is this? Is this how you thank me for saving your life?" I asked.

The fierce ursine warrior said nothing and pounced on me.

We both landed in a heap on the soft carpet. At which point Lady Ursa blushed as then kissed me.

"It is." She then pointed the device at me again.

"So you aren't going to kill me?" I asked as the ursine warrior who had me pinned under her and her chain-mail.

"Maybe." She laughed. "You did me a favor today and I am going to return it."

"Say what?! I thought with the way you were acting that Sir Ram had you bring me out here to be executed." She looked at me weirdly. "You know so you could do away with my remains more efficiently."

"Do you remember what I said to you in your cell this morning?!" She huffed.

"Um, yes." I told the slightly perturbed she beast.

"But we did come out her for a purpose!" She said with a big smirk on her face. She then pressed the device against me and shot me with it.

"AH!"

A ray of light enveloped me. When the light dissipated I was cold, and I was still in the shack. I glanced toward my left and discovered my clothes had been transported from my body and onto a nearby table as well as my restraints. Just like what Lea had done in the lab. I was still under this blushing ursine warrior, but in my birthday suit.

"Uh, what was the purpose of that?" I asked the fierce ursine warrior as I started to shiver.

"Two fold. She said blushing. You are going to help me with an itch I can't seem to scratch and a cold I can't seem to shake and I am going to reciprocate." Lady Ursa responded kissing me on my forehead.

"Say wha?" Was all I could answer. "I don't understand? I don't have a cold or an itch I can't scratch!"

"But you do have a problem." The fierce she beast said still blushing. "Your virginity!"

(How would she know that?)

"Tonight little human- I am going to simply fuck the stuffing out of you...."

"Wha- What?" I stammered.

"I am going to yiff you within an inch of your life." She responded. She then placed both of her paws on my shoulders pinning me to the rug!

"I don't understand...." before I could get the rest of the words out she kissed me again. Bear snout to human lips. I was dumbfounded and silenced.

After she removed her mouth from mine, she spoke again:

"Oh yes your translator- little human let me put this into simple terms you can understand- I had heard that you have never been intimate with anyone before male or female. Well tonight I am going to take care of that little problem!" She said fondling my scrotum.

Lady Ursa then aimed the device at herself and fired. She was surrounded by a flash of light and her chain-mail appeared on top of my clothing on a nearby table. She was naked as well.

With that she wiggled her rump, strattled my hips, impaled herself on my flaccid penis and immediately started humping me gently but firmly. I was too shocked and scared to be horny let alone have an erection.

(I am having sex with a beastial?)

Time stood still as the she beast began grunting and groaning- making oohh and uuuhh sounds as she vigorously tried to copulate with me. After what seemed to be an eternity, she started growling. Her growling started to get louder and louder- she was going to cum. Judging by her size, strength and ferocity, I was going to be drowned in she-bear goo which made me nervous.

It was then she removed her paws from my shoulders and placed them on each side of my head and sped up her thrusting, humping and growling. Just as I realized this, those paws reached behind my head and she pulled together both our bodies in a most passionate embrace. She humped my crotch a few more times while hugging me tightly against her- she wanted to make sure I couldn't crawl away before she came and she didn't want to spill any of her goo on anything other than me.

With that she raised her head and let out a hoarse ursine roar. Man, that was one weak roar! It should have bounced off the walls of the shack. But it didn't.

As she came down from her orgasm, Lady Ursa placed her head on my shoulder and snorted through her afterglow while continuing her embrace which was quite intimate.

When her afterglow had finally dissipated she removed her head from my shoulder and kissed me on the cheek and finally spoke:

"Thank you human, thank you for saving my life." She said. It was around this time that I realized that she had made quite a mess on my crotch.

The she beast rose slightly to stare at me directly in the face:

"I spoke to Lea after your physical the other day. She said that you were quite a fantastic lay- she was right." The she bear responded. She then moved her paw under me to squeeze my rump. "She also said that you had a cute butt as well."

"Lay?! Lea and I never- we didn't- did we?!" I asked confused. "Not to my recollection, how would she know?"

"Lea told me." Lady Ursa said.

"What else did she tell you? Who else did she tell?" I asked surprised. The she beast didn't respond- she just snorted several times.

"She also said that in addition to being partly clairvoyant, you have some type of healing ability that manifests itself at the height of sexual activity as well. Hmm... but it didn't work. Oh my, she exclaimed looking down at my crotch. You didn't cum. That's why."

"I was too shocked and scared." I replied. The she beast also realized I was never erect during our intimacy as well- and in fact still had my virginity intact.

"I guess I am going to have to correct that." She hoarsely said- and moved her paws back to hug my tighter.

"Err... don't I get a say in this?" I asked.

"Shhh!" She said comforting me. "You aren't in any danger Alex. Just relax. We will go very slow. Tonight I am going to introduce you to Real Sex and not the kind you can get from your hand.

(Huh?!)

"I am going to transform you from a shy, unsure, inexperienced gentleman into a confident, experienced sex addict in no time." She said, and she did.

"The first thing we have to do is take care of your flaccidity- now let me think." She started to say.

"Vigorously assure your partner that you mean them no harm and won't injure them during your love making." I interjected as the she beast started fondle my scrotum.

"I thought I made that obvious." She said.

"Promise to be soft and gentle and go very slow because this is their first time."- I continued.

"Done. But you're still flaccid. I know," she said releasing me from her embrace.

"Now little Alex I want you to pay close attention to me." She said rising and sitting on my hips just below my scrotum- a few strands of her goo were attached to my penis and her 'personal flower' after she had moved. She took both of her paws and gripped her bosom and presented her rack to me.

"Now tell me are these breasts appropriate for a warrior my size?"

She had definitely been talking to Lea! Those two must be good friends I concluded.

I started to 'rise' but was still not at full attention.

"Please, may I touch them?" I asked the warrior.

I did. They looked so firm at the outset but when I felt them I soon realized they were heavy and squishy with soft fur. That threw me over the edge. Well my libido any way.

***Boing!*** She got me hard, very hard.

The she beast snickered and moved her paw to gently apply some of her juices on to my fully erect shaft.

"Uh, so what happens next?"

"Alex, you are such a virgin!" The she beast blushed as she examined my penis and it's bulbous head. "I am going to make this disappear. Ready?"

I blushed as I nodded.

The she beast slowly and gently slid my penis into her vaginal slit little by little until I was completely inside of her!

"How does that feel?"

"Wet, slimy, but also warm and tight." I said candidly.

"Spoken like a true virgin." She added

"What do I do now?" I asked unsure of myself.

"You lie there and enjoy yourself." She said placing her paws on my shoulders and resumed humping me.

I enjoyed watching her chest bounce up and down in time with her thrusts so much. I just had to reach out and touch it.

"Enjoying yourself little human?

"Incredible!" I uttered gasping.

"Now all I want to hear from you little human is oohh, uuuhh, ahhh, *gasp*, I'm cumming! and *spurt*!" Lady Ursa snickered.

By that time I had a goofy grin on my face as my rationality faded away in a sea of lust and sex. This ursine creature although a ferocious and fierce warrior, was quite a great lay herself; I started to actually wish that I was her lover.

Lady Ursa rolled onto her back with me on top of her. She then moved those magnificent paws from my back to my hind quarters- one paw on each check and started fondling my rump.

"That is the cutest butt I have ever seen!" The she beast commented. "Furless, tailess and so smooth and you have the softest testicles quite round too. Hmm... despite not having a tail you do have a tailstar!" She said poking a claw tip into my anus. I gasped when she did that.

The fierce ursine warrior moved a paw back to my head.

"AH!"

"I hear someone is starting to enjoy themselves!"

With that she rolled back on top of me kissing my forehead and slowly and gently started humping me as I stared moaning and groaning- again.

"It feels good doesn't it?" She asked.

(So this was real sex not simulated and not by my hand, it felt incredible!)

It wasn't long before that familiar tickle returned- it started at my nether regions then moved to my testicles and I knew it won't be long before I would explode inside this magnificent beastial. I lowered my hands behind her back and pulled her close to me. She was still thrusting and humping when I tightened my grip on her and I warned her that I couldn't take much more; by that time that tickle had reached the tip of my penis. This was it!

"OOHH, UUUUHHH!"

I made a series of short groans as I erupted into her breathing very very hard. I must have shot nine ropes of my goo into her very tight, but very soft cub tunnel.

"UUUGGGHHH!" It felt amazing!

She snuggled me during my afterglow and waited for me to come down from my fantastic, fantastic, fantastic high.

"That was real sex! Was it good for you little human?" She asked unhoarsely.

"That was fantastic! OMG! Please, please, please make me your lover, your sex slave- whatever, let me be with you, make love to you every day for the rest of my existence! Just take me home with you!" I mumbled.

"Shhh" Lady Ursa said snuggling me. "That is the lust talking." She held me a while longer and waited for my sanity to return.

When it did, I thanked her for the special, special gift she had given me I also felt embarrassed for what I had said- but then again maybe not. Her special gift was one that I would treasure the rest of my life. Lady Ursa then thanked me for her gift as well.

"Saving your life?" I asked the fierce ursine warrior.

"That and one more..." She started "My chronic cold- its gone. You definitely are not a typical human." She said.

I touched her nose and felt her neck. Her hoarseness and her congestion was gone and for the first time I was hearing her true voice!

"I would hope that if situations had been reversed you would have done the same thing for me-" I responded. "Without prejudice."

She didn't acknowledge my response but said- "We should get cleaned up."

"Great- but where?" I asked- the shack did not appear to have running water of any sort.

"Out back." She said.

"Huh?" I responded.

"There are hot springs behind the shack. We can bathe there." She said standing up. Even in the dim light of the shack this creature in the nude looked magnificent. I snapped back to reality-

"But it is dark out there, we're in the forrest- humans don't see too well in the dark."

"It is alright Alex, you are with me- a fierce ursine warrior of Wundagore. Besides, I am an original; I have lived in this forest- for a time anyway."

With that we left the shack without our clothing on. I grabbed my PDA and walked with her several feet behind the shack to the stream holding her paw during our night stroll still feeling very uneasy being in the forest at night. The stream I had heard before was actually the hot springs she had alluded to.

When we arrived at the spring, she produced a tube of the soap I had seen Tauren use from somewhere- maybe she was holding it with her other paw. We spent some time lathering each other before entering the spring. "I see you have done this before." she said.

"I have had a lesson or two." I responded.

I was enjoying gently messaging her legs, arms, back, neck, rump, tail and crotch as I lathered her. But there was something missing. As before it was the conversation.

"By the way, you mentioned you are an original- what is an original?" I asked.

"You don't know?" She then started to lather me while she responded.

"Originals are the first beastials. Any beastials who are thirty seasons or older are originals- quadrupeds our master transformed into beastials from animals. I am one," she replied, "Sir Ram, Lord Tiger and the minotaur are as well. Lady Vermin however is not. She is the offspring of two originals. She was born during the High Evolutionary's grand experiment."

As she said this she continued to lather my legs, chest, neck, arms, back, rump and genitals paying particular attention to my scrotum and penis. Lady Ursa noticed a change in my breathing and slowed her administrations- not wanting to have me explode again.

"Do you remember any of your life before becoming a beastial?" I asked.

"Of course I do." She replied. I was fascinated.

We then stepped into the hot springs. Which was true to its name.

"What was it like?" I asked.

"I only lived in the forest until I became just old enough to leave my mother." She started. "Life here was rough. Depending on the seasons and weather conditions there either was or wasn't enough food. Existence was a struggle; you were constantly searching for food always wondering where the next meal would come from." She responded. "Then there were the males always looking to copulate with you and leave you with a litter of cubs to care for."

"Did you ever have..." I asked.

"No." She replied I was captured by humans and enslaved in a circus before I was old enough to mate. While there, my handlers abused me and forced me to perform tricks and stunts to entertain other humans. If I didn't perform, I didn't eat. I despised being used in such a way, but I was still quite young and was not capable of defending myself. I was rescued by the High Evolutionary one day after he observed my living conditions and how I was treated by my handlers. He healed my wounds and transformed me from a forest bear to the beastial I am today.

"Do you have any hostility toward your handlers my lady?"

"No, Alex- After becoming sentient, I vowed that I would become strong and powerful so that no one would ever take advantage of me ever again. Anyway, I prefer my life now. Food is plentiful and I don't have to worry about where the next meal is coming from."

(Wow!)

"When you are sentient you have other things to occupy your time as well- sciences, the arts and culture." She said.

"I take it even the opposite sex?" I asked. The she beast was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"The life of a knight is busy one. We are constantly serving the master and have little time for ourselves let alone relationships. I haven't had a steady relationship in quite some time."

(Was she lonely?)

We bathed a while longer before she warned that we better get back to the shack and dry off. With the sunset and the night becoming later, it was definitely getting colder and we wouldn't want to be outside overnight- the temperature would be quite uncomfortable.

We soon returned to the shack and dried off. It was then that Lady Ursa decided that we would stay the night. I had no problem with this with the exception of our sleeping arrangements there was just one sleeping bag-hers. That meant one of us would freeze during the night which was growing increasingly colder. She wasn't about to let any of that happen- She didn't have to but she shared her sleeping bag with me. It was a tight fit but we managed.

The she beast climbed into the bag first and then beckoned me to join her. I carefully climbed in. No sooner had I done that, she embraced me.

"Is this necessary?" I asked.

"I think it is." She stated. "It is going to be cold tonight she responded- In my haste to leave the castle I only brought the most basic of provisions and I forgot to include extra blankets- so I will have to be your blanket tonight." She said. With that I was enveloped by those strong ursine arms, soft fury pelt and that magnificent rack. I felt quite safe, quite cosy and even loved.

(Is this how the knights treat all of their prisoners?)

As I am reflecting on this incident years later- despite the scary beginning that night turned out to be the best night of my life.
