Counter Earth Chronicles
Chapter 8 The Life That I Have Lived... And What Remains...
Day 4 continued
I heard that when you die there is supposed to be a white light one sees greeting one at the entrance to eternity. I saw that light and more....
The last thing I remember was Sir Ram putting me under in preparation for his big dissection of yours truly- his latest science experiment. The next thing I remember was that I was standing in a bright light at the entrance to eternity. My death was a snap- painless. Sir Ram hadn't lied about that.
After collecting my thoughts, I started towards what I thought was the source of the light which seemed to be present in all directions and then none at all. As I walked I reflected on my life- I had nothing to be ashamed of or afraid of- I think.
I continued walking for what felt like miles. I guess the pathway was long on purpose in order to give one a chance to reflect on their life, the good, the bad and the ugly.
I walked, walked and walked some more. It was then I noticed something in the distance, it appeared to be a hooded figure wearing brightly colored robes. The figure was seated in a very tall and very large grand chair- in the middle of no where mind you, the chair, a throne which appeared to be made of the finest wood.
(This is it- my moment of judgement!) I thought to myself as I closed in on the figure.
When I arrived at the throne the figure stood up. I immediately noticed that the being in the hood was hooved!
(A demon?! Oh no! Did I do something wrong? Did I not lead a just and honorable life? Am I going to the bad place?!)
The truth was much much worse....The being removed his hood and under it was a familiar face- Sir Ram!
"Greetings Alex! Welcome to the Great Beyond! I am your guardian angel! Guess what? We will be spending all of eternity together!"
(OMG! It couldn't be! The universe is not that poorly constructed!)
"HELL TO THE NO!" I screamed as I turned and ran from the startled ram at top speed. I wanted no part of this at all!
No sooner had I started running- then I slammed head first into a glass wall and fell backwards.
*POOF!*
"What are you doing?!" Came a voice to my side- it was the minotaur.
He gently guided me back to my bed and advised me to lay down. I was back in my cell in the holding area and no longer in Sir Ram's lab.
I was still groggy from the anesthetic and it would be sometime before it completely wore off. Gingerly, I checked my abdomen and there were markings many, many, MANY markings and notes where someone was planning to cut me open like a cantaloupe but yet my insides were intact.
Tauren placed his paw on my chest and assured me that I was safe.
"What happened? The last thing I remember was Sir Ram was ready to dissect me." I said groggily.
"The situation has changed and he has decided to move on to some other experiments. He returned you here to let the anesthetic wear off." The bull said. "Its best you rest- we will speak again in the morning."
I realized that morning had indeed turned to night. I agreed with Tauren and slept.
Day 5
Morning came and I was awakened by Tauren who had brought me breakfast- fish.
"I think you have had your fill of the yellow nourishment." The bull said.
"You have no idea, what made Sir Ram change his mind?" I asked.
"I am not at liberty to say." Tauren stated cryptically. "But you will find out soon enough. As of this moment you are no longer our prisoner- your crime has been forgiven, your punishment commuted."
"Uh, that is great Tauren, but I can't return to my world; I am stranded here with no place to go." I said to the bull.
"Oh, don't worry about that." Tauren said smiling.
"Why?"
"Yes, that's right- I forgot to tell you."
"Tell me what?"
"That you have been adopted and I am to deliver you to your new owner." The bull said smirking.
"Adopted?! you mean like an animal from the pound?!"
Tauren nodded his head in agreement.
At hearing that I started shaking again.
(Did Sir Ram adopt me so that he could personally study me every day? OMG!)
The bull gently embraced me- "Shh Alex, you are safe now no one is going to harm you."
(After what that ram was going to do to me I felt like harming him!)
After finishing breakfast, Tauren gave me my PDA and escorted me from the holding area to the east side of the castle- one of the upper floors. While we were walking I tried to pry information from him.
"What do you mean adopted I asked? Who was it- you?"
"No, it wasn't me." He said.
(Was it Sir Ram? What if it was another scientist who wanted to do far worse?)
The bull did tell me that I was safe and that no harm would come to me.
"Hmm...All I can say is that you made quite an impression on this person and they want to see you." He said.
We at last stopped at the door which was most likely at this person's domicile.
"Here we are!" He said.
"Whose place is this?"
"You'll see." He said. With that the bull pressed a button on the door and stated- "He is here!"
The door slid to the side revealing a hallway. I looked up at Tauren who winked back.
"You are no longer our prisoner, but you will be staying with us permanently." He said.
"Wha?" I asked.
"You will see." He replied. "Now I want you on your best behavior!"
With that he smacked me on my rump and pushed me into the hallway. The door immediately slid closed behind me. I checked to make sure the translator on the PDA was still functioning as I made my way through the dark narrow hallway.
I soon reached what could be described as a great room. It was adorned with many amenities half of them I didn't know what they were. I did recognize a couch, chairs, a rug, windows, viewing screen and that this domicile was three levels - a townhouse of sorts inside a castle.
In the middle of the room was my adopter- a strong she beast standing about six feet tall, brown fur, sharp claws, stout snout and golden eyes. A ursine. I knew this individual!
"Lady Ursa?!" I exclaimed in shock.
"From this day forward that is mistress Ursa!" She said. "Now come give me a hug and kiss!"
I did as she commanded. She wasn't wearing her chain-mail uniform- in fact she was hardly wearing anything at all except for her undergarments. I didn't care though it was easier to hug her that way. Her fur was as soft as I remember.
"Uh, why are we hugging?" I asked.
"You are thanking me for saving your life." She said.
"Huh?" I asked.
"Sir Ram owed me a favor and after I learned what he hand intended for you, I convinced him that you would better serve us and our needs alive then dead."
"I tried to do the same as he was getting ready to put me under." I countered.
"I think I was more persuasive little one, he agreed and so you are here."
"But I thought you were indifferent toward me and all of humanity for that matter?" I replied.
"You are not the typical human." She said.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you for saving my life my lady."
"That is mistress and you forgot about the kiss." She countered.
I then gave that she beast one right on her mouth and hugged her tightly. Something I would do every day there after- and for the rest of my life.
"EW, fish breath." She said laughing.
The universe is funny in the way it rewards kindness. Two days ago I saved this Knight of Wundagore from perishing during a rebel incursion. Two days later she returned the favor and saved my life. If I had not acted the way I did she would be dead today and I would have been as well.
Lady Ursa told me that I would be living among the beastials and specifically with her for the rest of my life.
"Am I to be your slave?" I asked disturbed.
"No." She said "More like a pet, servant and toy- sex toy."
"What? How? Why?" I asked shocked.
"I am in need of your special abilities." She said candidly. "Especially your so called healing ability."
"Why is that?"
"I have my reasons." She said cryptically. "From this day forward your mind and body belong to me- to use as I see fit. In return I will offer you shelter, protection, food, affection, sex and what you need most right now in your life- healing and stability."
"What about love?" I asked.
"I think I love you as much as a mistress can love a pet. Now who's a good boy?" She said in a sing-song tone while petting me on my head.
"Arf, arf!" I replied. "Very funny."
She cleared her throat and continued her voice- now assuming some authority. "I will alleviate and shelter you from the stress, pain, fear and despair of being a human- a non-beastial and a second class citizen on this world. This will leave you with one and only one purpose in this life, to please me."
After hearing that last part, my gaze shifted toward the floor as the she bear hugged me.
"That 'sounds like a pretty good deal doesn't it?" She asked.
"That depends." I said.
"How so?"
"It depends on what type of mistress you will be- a kind, patient, merciful, loving and affectionate mistress or a mean, cruel, bulling, taskmaster. The later would make my captivity, this life an unbearable and a living hell." I replied.
"I will let you determine that for yourself." Lady Ursa smirked. "NOW KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTER!"
(ULP!)
I did as I was ordered.
"Now kiss her paws!"
Again. I did as ordered. I kissed all four of them.
The ursine warrior watched me sternly as I did so too.
(Was this going to be the reality of my new life here?!)
"NOW REMOVE YOUR CLOTHING AND STRIP DOWN TO YOUR UNDERGARMENTS!"
I looked at Lady Ursa disbelievingly, but did as I was ordered. I was soon in my undershirt and underwear just like her.
After seeing how obediently I had followed her orders, the fierce she beast broke out in laughter.
"You are very, very impressionable!" She said resting her chin on my head and hugging me again. "Now don't look so sad- you will grow accustomed to your new life here- which will far surpass your old one."
"Now come! I am on duty soon and I need to orientate you to your new surroundings. We also need to bathe."
My new mistress showed me around her three level domicile- her lair as she called it. The windows were on the east side of the castle which contained a lovely view of the countryside and surrounding area.
The great room was on the main level near the galley or kitchen. The upper level which was opened to the great level below had two rooms one obviously was her chambers. The other was her private bath and changing room. The lowest room of the structure was her storage and trophy room, exercise room and laundry.
I saw many appliances and amenities that I didn't recognize some were to clean clothes and uniforms, other were to cook with and still others were for general cleaning. I looked at them dumbfoundedly.
"I assume you didn't have these on your world." She asked.
"None of them." I responded-
"You will understand them in time."
I looked at her funny.
"Oh that's right, you will have responsibilities." She replied. "As my servant you will assist me in maintaining the lair. Cooking and cleaning. That will be part of your duties. As a Knight of Wundagore my schedule is hectic and erratic. As a result, I don't often have a lot of time for chores. That is why I need you."
(Oh!)
"Now come." She ordered me.
With that we went to her shower and bathed. She took great pleasure in lathering the soap all over my body to remove Sir Ram's markings and especially in my now hairless nether regions. I did the same to her as well.
After bathing, she carefully dried me off and I dried her off in return. I couldn't stop staring, admiring her form. She was fierce and powerful as she was affectionate.
"Uh mistress what happened to my clothes?"
"Those tattered rags? They are a remnant and reminder of your horrible life before your arrival here. I think you would appreciate being with out them." She said. "I have new clothes for you, but they are in my chambers and only to be worn outside the lair."
"Uh, what am I supposed to wear inside?" I asked.
"Oh nothing." She replied.
I blushed and turned red.
"The humans on this world don't clothe their pets. I won't with mine either."
At hearing that I soon turned a deep deep red.
"But mistress, I am not comfortable walking around naked- you know with everything hanging out...."
"Yes, yes, I forgot you humans are modest and like to hide your unmentionables. Very well, I will allow you to wear a simple loin cloth around the lair but not in my chambers."
There I would be recognized as her toy; I was to be completely naked whenever I was in that room. Lady Ursa also forbade me from masturbating- ever again. My purpose as her toy was to be ready at a moment's notice to please her if she was horny and needed attention or affection. As such I was to save myself for her- always. If I was ever horny and needed attention or affection, I was to come and see her.
Soon afterwards she departed for the day and left me to explore the lair. She said she would be back in the evening to continue my orientation. So I spent several hours exploring the lair, despite her lack of personal time- mistress Ursa tried to keep it neat and maintained as possible.
I started in the trophy room looking at her weapons- swords, firearms and the like. She had quite the collection. I then went to the exercise room and on through the rest of the house.
In the storage room I found an old easel complete with paper and paint. I don't know what came over me, I grabbed it and went to one of the windows facing the east and started painting the late winter landscape there. When I got tired I decided to check out the view screen.
I spent the afternoon trying to understand what I was seeing on that view screen it was connected to something called the Hub, a type of information sharing network. Although my PDA could translate spoken word. It did not do the same for text, so I couldn't understand what I was seeing. I ended up just listening to news, painting and waiting for her to return. There was quite a lot happening that day on Counter Earth.
It was late in the evening when Lady Ursa returned. She was tired and had brought dinner, which was a good thing since I had not quite figured out how to use any of the appliances let alone read a recipe. Our dinner was what else- fish. Which I promptly ate since I hadn't had lunch at all.
While we were eating our conversation came to my diet.
"One of the transitions that will be difficult for you to make will be that of diet." She told me. "I can tell by your reaction that the food here is quite different from what you are used to." The she beast said.
"It is." I replied. "It is fresh, not spoiled and not someone else's refuse."
With that she laughed.
"That's not what I meant pet, but I like your sense of humor. In the coming days I will slowly introduce you to what foods we eat here on this world."
"Mistress, I do have a question though." I asked- "Do beastials eat other animals?"
"It depends on the species." She replied. "I am an omnivore so my diet is quite similar to yours."
I continued- "Hypothetically speaking let's say you have some beastial friends that are lapins and you decided to eat rabbit the four legged type for dinner that night how would your friends react? Would they disapprove?" I looked her directly in the face when I said that to gauge her reaction.
Lady Ursa looked at me weirdly then started laughing uncontrollably.
"Maw haw haw!! You amuse me to no end Alex! I also see that you have started adapting to your new life my pet." She said.
(Well, she didn't actually answer the question.)
"This world, its ruler, its inhabitants both human and beastial- the reality of the situation hasn't hit me yet mistress." I replied.
"Come, it has been a long day and I for one could use some rest." The she beast said.
I placed our plates on the- counter (?) and started to follow mistress Ursa. But then a thought crossed my mind.
"Mistress where do I sleep?" I asked.
(Please don't say in a dog house out back.)
"Down here on the couch?"
"No silly." She replied- "In my chambers with me."
(!) (Wow! This is going to be a most pleasurable and quite tolerable existence!)
When we entered her chamber, the she beast removed her uniform, all her undergarments and my loin cloth and climbed into her bed. She beckoned me to follow her.
As I climbed into bed with her, I noticed that the bed was naked like her with the exception of one pillow which was most likely for her use. I guess if she was naked, I didn't have a problem being naked with her. But I was curious about the lack of amenities blankets, pillows etc.
"Um mistress, where is my pillow?" I asked.
"I am your pillow." She replied. (!)
"What about the blankets?- I know the nights are cold here."
"Don't worry little one, I will keep you warm as well."
(WOW!)
With that she reached out, picked me up and laid me flat across her body. The back of my head was resting comfortably against her breasts- the pillows she had spoken about. They were quite firm, but squishy. My rump was resting comfortably in her crotch which was an interesting sensation as well.
After giving me a moment to adjust, Lady Ursa spoke:
"Now, I want you to relax completely." She started. "I can't erase the horror and terror you have experienced the past four days on my world, but I do intend to try to make up for some of it."
With that those paws of hers started the most gentle, most probing bodily message I have ever experienced in my life. I suspect her motives were twofold- she wanted to not only pleasure me but to explore her new prize as well. How many people ever get to experience a full frontal massage?
This ursine warrior started at my neck with easy gentle stroking motions with those incredible paws of hers. She continued her gentle administrations across my chest, down my torso, waist and then genitals where she took her time fully exploring- my scrotum, testicles and penis. Was she going to jerk me off and make me cum for her? No, not this time. She was checking to see how much of my goo I had made since our night in the forest. Perhaps to copulate with me in the morning. She finished at my legs. Then gripped me in a hug and rolled both us on to our sides in a tight embrace making sure I was quite comfortable with my new 'blanket' and 'pillows'. She then rested her chin on my head and we both drifted off into sleep.
I am not sure what the she beast dreamt while she was asleep- probably warrior dreams- battle and conquest. While I slept I dreamt of the world that I had left behind and those who I had lost during my emigration and the beings I had met on Counter Earth both kind and evil and the fact that I came very, very close to dying.
The dream was too too real. Later that night Lady Ursa awoke to me crying by her side.
"I see reality has set in." She said sympathetically.
"You have no idea."
Over the next hour I told her about my dream, how I felt about being the sole survivor of Gaia- my survivor's guilt and how I felt about nearly being killed by Sir Ram as his latest experiment.
The she beast listened carefully and then rehugged me.
"I can't begin to comprehend your loss." She said. "However if your friends and loved ones were watching you right now, do you think they would want you to stop living to morn their deaths for the rest of your life?"
"No." I replied.
"That's right- they would want you to grieve maybe for a little while then move on with your life. I suggest that you do the same. I will be here for you when you do. As for Sir Ram, he came close to killing you, but didn't. You are safe my pet. He won't try to harm you ever again."
"Mistress," I countered. "How do you know that?"
"I just do." She replied cryptically.
"As I see it the only reason I am safe is due to your interest in my special abilities otherwise..."
"You were also in danger because of those special abilities." She countered. "If you didn't have them I suspect Sir Ram would have turned you into one of us."
"You mean one of his failed- man-beasts experiments?"
"Most likely." She laughed- "You would have made a fine lemur or maybe even a werewolf or werebear."
"What about a werewolverine?"
"Possibly." She replied. "Just think you wouldn't be plagued by intellect, morals or decency- just pure raw instinct and primal fury."
"Just like the man-beasts I encountered earlier this week (or my dream). No thank you." I said. "I may not have fangs, claws, paws, fur or a tail- but I am happy and comfortable with who I am." I told the fatigued warrior.
"I agree too." She said. "Now enough of this prattle! I have a long day ahead of me and I still need my sleep- so hush! Otherwise I will have to show you my super snuggle attack- it is quite devastating."
"But wait! Aren't you supposed to be the ultimate life form?!- I thought ultimate life forms didn't need to sleep!" I said mocking the fatigued bear while drying my tears.
There was a grumbling noise that turned in to a loud growling noise and then a roar that came from the she bear. It soon filled the room.
"RAAWWRR!!!"
~*SQUEEZE*~
"OWCH!" I cried as I received the biggest bear hug in my life.
(So this is her super snuggle attack? Damn, it is quite devastating!)
"Um, I will be quiet mistress." I squeaked in a high pitched voice.
"Good!" She huffed loosening me from her grip and rolling over to drift back to sleep.
I soon joined her.
So there you have it, in the course of five days (and 300+ years) I went from being a poor, homeless, derelict vagrant on Gaia to becoming a beastial's pet and resident on another planet elsewhere in the universe. Looking back that was one hell of a week.
To Be Continued....
