#8 of Awakening of One


"So were here, where exactly is here?" Jake asked while picking himself up off the ground.

"I'm not exactly sure but I would say that ‘here' is the bridge" Kaid said not really paying attention to the conversation. The ‘bridge' was little more than a platform with a few scattered stones. Looking over the area it quickly became apparent that this place had once been a lake or a large chunk of earth had been removed from the valley.

"Kaid I think this is where the keep used to be. This platform must have been the start of the road leading into the main gate," Cyin suggested looking around.

It was obvious that Cyin was right. The small platform seemed to suddenly stop at the edge of the spoon shaped crater. Walking first all the way around the stone platform Kaid slowly approached the start of the walkway. Glancing back to Cyin and Jake, Kaid walked the walkway to its sudden end a few feet away. The stone was a strange dark gray color, as he walked it almost sparkled. The effect was so odd it was mesmerizing to look at. Obviously whatever kind of stone this was it did not come from this large forested area.

"Kaid is everything alright?" Jake asked. He must have thought I was standing here too long.

"Ya Jake, everything is fine. I was just wondering where this stone came from. I have never seen stone sparkle like this."

I was starting to get dark and the ‘bridge' was still as much a mystery as when the group had first arrived here.

"Kaid do you remember what Nib'Var said?" Cyin asked.

"You mean about ‘resetting the stones?' I have no idea what he meant by that."

"Unless he meant for us to move all the stones and ‘reset' them somewhere else." Jake said jokingly.

"I don't think so Jake. It would take an army to move these stones even a few inches." Cyin scolded.

"OK everyone lets calm down and set up camp. This is not going to get solved tonight. Jake will you set up the tent, Cyin please scout the area, and I will gather wood for a fire." Kaid said slowly rubbing his face.

As Kaid made his way through the underbrush and large stones that made up the area around the bridge he was shocked to find that there were the remains of an old road leading away from the bridge. It was grown over and obviously had not been used in years, as Kaid followed this road he found something that was even more surprising, buildings. They where little more then stone walls with holes where windows and doors should be but it meant that a long time ago this had been a busy city. The most intact structure was a large two story building that was most likely a meeting hall or church, not able to help himself, Kaid entered the building. Inside the building was baron, a large main room and two smaller offshoot rooms, there where stairs leading up from one of these rooms but they had fallen long ago cutting off access to the second story.

Finding nothing but crumbling stone and empty rooms Kaid turned to leave; as he turned he saw a flash of movement, a second later he was thrown to the floor. "I caught you, you should be more careful, it seems like no one has been here in a really long time but still.." was all Cyin was able to get out as Kaid kissed her.

"That's one way to avoid a scolding" Cyin said as she returned the kiss. Kaid broke the Kiss by throwing his leg over Cyin's Body and rolling so he was now on top.

"You know, we are all alone here, and Jake does not expect us back for a while." Kaid said as he started to fiddle with Cyin's clothing. After almost a full minuet Kaid stopped "How do you get this darn thing off?" he asked

Cyin laughed and showed him the line just left of her left breast where the two half's of the garment came together, she then extended a claw from her index finger and running it along the line from her left shoulder to her crotch the body suit parted. I was curious what kept the two half's together but wanted her out of the clothes more. I let her up so she could slip out of the outfit, she slowly removed her arms and let it fall to her waist and I could not help admiring her firm perky breasts or her lithe cat like body. Even in the dark I could see the dark stripes in her golden fur, and the white belly fur that ran from her neck to the hidden treasure in the V between her legs. I could not help but ask myself what I had done to earn such a beautiful woman. I also realized that the things that made her so different from human woman such as her cat like appearance and fur, made me want her all the more. She didn't seem strange or alien to me at all, I could hardly believe that I had not only found a strong and beautiful woman, but also a passionate lover and companion.

"Kaid, why are you looking at me like that?" Cyin said the blush obvious in her voice.

"I just realized how lucky I am to have found you... And how much I want to be with you forever." I answered as I leaned in to give her another long kiss.

As I broke the kiss I started to nibble my way down her body, the fur tickled my nose a little but the soft warm sent from her body was driving me crazy. I stopped at her left brest and took her nipple into my mouth. With this Cyin drew in a sharp breath and let out a long moan. I continued to lick, suck and flick her nipple with my tong until it was hard and pointing out from the fur. Then I moved to her right breast to repeat this action. As I sucked on her right breast I continued to massage her left brest and pinch her nipple with my hand.

After a few minuets of this treatment Cyin was moaning loudly "Kaid no more, I need you to fill me please." was all she said as she worked herself the rest of the way out of the body suit. I needed no further prompting as I quickly striped and laid back down on top of her.

I kissed her hard on the lips as I entered her, slowly sliding in until I hilted myself in her slick, tight, hot tunnel. Both of us let out a long loud moan as I started thrusting into Cyin with wild abandon. After a moment of this I stopped and pulled out.

"Why did you stop?" Cyin asked in a very frustrated voice.

"There is something I want to try, but it is a bit dirty." I told her as he repositioned myself so my member was rubbing at the tight pucker of her anus. Cyin jumped as if she had been shot and pulled away slightly.

"WHAT are you doing? That is the wrong place" She exclaimed

"I know it is a bit strange, but humans do it allot and it is supposed to feel good, it is something I have always wanted to try, I am sorry if I upset you." I answered awkwardly. "Please don't be upset, I should have asked your permission first."

"It is not all that strange Kaid, the males of my kind do such things with each other. But that is usually something they do when they have not won a mate yet and feel the need." As Cyin explained this I was first shocked to here that males do it with each other, then I realized they are not human and don't have the same hang ups we do.

"Males here do it too, but it is looked down on when two males do it with each other, my society believes that males should only engage in sexual activities with women and vies versa. Allot of men and woman do this here, it is supposed to feel very different but also very good." I explained and I watched as Cyin thought about this.

"You are a funny people, the more I learn about you the more I find you a mystery that I may never understand. As for the sex, I was just surprised, I have participated in the girl's nights, and we have used our mouths and fingers there. It feels funny but I did enjoy it, you are much bigger then a finger so you must go slow and gather some more lubrication from me before you do."

I reeled from what I had just heard; Cyin had just admitted to having sex with other girls and what's more she was not mad that I had tried to have anal sex with her just surprised because I didn't warn her first. Still feeling very horny and with the picture of her and another sexy cat girls having sex stuck in my mind I was more then willing to take her up on the offer.

I slid closer to her again and started by rubbing the head of my shaft against her opening, she was very wet, she seemed so turned on that it was practically dripping down her leg. "You are very wet, does this turn you on?" I asked getting back into the mood.

"Yes it does, I have always wondered what it would be like, I even ask the other girls to play there when we have girls nights but I never thought I would actuality do it." She answered quietly, as if saying it too loud would allow someone to overhear her dirty admission.

I was halfway to her tight pucker when she said this, I had to stop for a moment 'When you say girl nights, you mean to say you have parties where you get together to have sex with other women?" I asked as I slowly began to rub the head of my penis on her tight pucker, spreading the lubrication.

Cyin gave a short moan as she reached down to rub her clit. "Well kind of, when a girl reaches the age when she starts to feel the mating need for the first time all of her friends who have already had a girls night gather at her home to teach her how to relieve the need as well as to enjoy each other."

I knew I wanted to know more, but as I started to push myself into her tight anus I lost all thought except the feeling of her. She was tighter then I could have ever imagined. As the head of my shaft slipped inside her anal ring I felt like she might squeeze me in half. At that same moment Cyin let out the loudest yipping, meowing noise I had ever heard.

"Kaid, it is so good, it does not hurt at all. I feel you opening me up and it is driving me crazy. Please push it in, don't worry about hurting me just take me in my tale hole. I need to feel you all the way in."

With this encouragement I quickly slid in all the way, her tail hole was much tighter then her vagina, and as I pushed in I could feel her muscles trying to push me out. As I got as deep in her as I could go she moaned "I feel so full, please don't stop, I am almost there." With this I started pounding into her tail hole with wild abandon. After only a second of sliding in and out of her tight hole I knew I could not hold on any longer. Just as I was about to push into her the last time she screamed and I felt a rush of her juices squirt onto my stomach and groin. The sudden spamming of her tail hole was too much and I came in her so hard I collapsed onto her chest exhausted.

After a few long minuets I pulled out of her, my seed flowing from her abused tail hole and running into the fur of her butt and tail. She grabbed her body suit and cleaned up as best as she could then passed it to me. "Kaid, that was so good, we need to do that again, but not right away. I think we went to fast and I am starting to feel sore." Cyin said as I wiped our combined juices from my groin and shaft.

"I did not intend to hurt you, you should have told me..." Was all I got out as Cyin sat up and kissed me to shut me up.

"It's not you lover, I asked you too be rough, and at the time it didn't hurt. Anyway this is kind of a good hurt, like after we mated the first time. It will go away quickly, no damage done. But please return to camp first, there is still some of your stuff in me that I need to get out and I want to clean up a spring nearby before I come back." Cyin explained.

"Whatever you say love, I am still sorry I hurt you. But that was amazing, and one day we will need to talk more about your peoples sexual habits. It sounds like they are very different from mine." This was all I said as we gathered our things. I got dressed, and we both left. I looked around and saw that it was full dark, a quick look at my watch confirmed that it had been well over an hour since I had set out to gather wood. I quickly gathered an arm full of whatever sticks and branches I could, some of them still very green, and hurried back to camp.

Jake had already gathered a small amount of wood and started a fire. As I approached camp he looked over at me. "Get lost?" he asked.

"No I just found the ruins of an old town down that way and got side tracked." I answered.

"Sidetracked? Well from the sounds of it you where more then side tracked." Jake said as he grinned into the fire.

"I didn't know you could here from so far away." I said as a blush creeped up my neck and into my cheeks.

"It is quiet in these woods, sound travels far. At first I thought you where in trouble, but as I started to go out to look for you it became obvious what you two where up to." Jake explained.

"You came to look for me." I asked, then added "Did you see us?"

"No I am not a perv, when I realized what was going on I gathered up some wood and came back here to start the fire. I can't blame you, she is very sexy, and it seems you two are stupid for each other. Just next time let me know so I don't get worried?" Jake said the last looking away, and I could not tell if he was angry or not.

"Jake it just kind of happened; we didn't plan on doing it. I am sorry to worry you, please don't be upset."

Jake turned to look at me, he was blushing. "It's ok, like I said I understand. And I am not mad, I just always...." There was an awkward pause before he looked away and continued in a lighter tone. "I have never gotten a girl to make sounds like that. You must be one serious stud." Jake said as he tossed one of the branches I had brought back into the fire

The fire crackled loudly as fresh pine was thrown on. Staring into the fire Jake started thinking about what he was doing. Not a week ago he was living a normal life, working at the veterinary clinic. Now he was off on an adventure like those he read in books. Here he was, a sword toting support character in some swords and sorcerers story. It felt as if at any moment he would open his eyes and find himself in bed at home. Cyin had told him as well as the three mages they ran into on the path about her beliefs. He had to call it that, "her beliefs" not quite sure if he was ready to accept what she said. A lot of if made sense, but parts of it didn't quite feel right.

"Hey Jake, you OK?" Kaid asked.

"Ya, I was just thinking about all that has happened; everything that you and Cyin have told me. The fact that thinking of Cyin no longer freaks me out. You know, just thinking."

"Thinking can be dangerous, don't hurt yourself." Kaid whispered into the fire.

A few seconds later Jake looked up. "Don't hurt myself? You are a funny guy, you ass." Jake said as they both broke down laughing.

Cyin walked into the firelight carrying an armload of sticks. "So what are you two laughing at?" Neither Jake nor Kaid wanted to answer so they both looked away pretending to be innocent.

"Nothing" they chimed together.

Cyin gave the two friends a hard look, and then walked off towards the bridge. "Fine, you two keep your secret." The two guys could only chuckle as she walked off.

A moment later Cyin shouted "Kaid, Kaid come here!" both heads snapped to the spot where Cyin had walked into the darkness. As one they jumped up, vaulted over the fire and ran towards Cyin's voice.

The sight that awaited Jake and Kaid was enough to stop them both in there tracks. Cyin was standing in the center of what used to be the bridge; the odd part was the golden glow from the stones themselves. The glow so perfectly matched the light from the sun that both Kaid and Jake had to squint to look at it.

"Cyin, how are you making them glow?" Jake asked.

"I'm not, they just started after I stepped on them" Cyin answered. "But that's not the weird part, I think these are words" she finished by pointing at the center of the glow.

Jake and Kaid quickly took the last few steps between them and the bridge. As they stepped onto the stones the glow became less blinding, and what looked like some kind of writing slowly formed on the center most stone.

"What does it say?" Kaid asked Cyin.

"I have no idea. I have never seen writing like this before." Cyin answered. "I hoped you would..." "Three north, two east, one threes." Jake cut in. Both Cyin and Kaid stood looking at him with wide eyes.

"It's Latin, old Latin, but I still understand it. I took two years of Latin as filler in college." Jake explained looking a bit embarrassed.

"WOW Jake that's great!" Kaid said. "What else does it say?"

"That's it. Three north, two east, one threes." Jake answered.

"What do you mean ‘that's it?' what does it mean? What three north, which two east, why one threes?" Kaid shouted in frustration.

"Kaid calm down. It must mean something, we will figure it out." Cyin said in a calming voice.

"The moon is up." Cyin said quietly, staring at the sky.

"What?" Jake asked obviously deep in thought as he sat on what remained of the bridge.

"I was just mentioning that the moon has started to rise." Cyin answered.

"Is it really? How long have we been sitting here trying to figure this out?" Kaid asked.

"Not long the moon is only a third of the way up." Answered Jake. At that moment Kaid sat upright eyes wide. "It's not one-threes, it's one third, like one-third a turn."

Jake thought about it for a moment. "You could be right, so we turn one of the stones? Which one?" Jake asked.

"Well its three north and two east." Cyin quickly responded.

"OK, but starting where?" Kaid asked as his excitement quickly diminished.

As if in silent answer to his questions the words on the glowing stone faded out. As the three companions sat watching a line formed cutting the stone in half from north to south. As the line touched the northern most part of the stone two smaller line shot back from the tip of the line in a V, creating an arrow pointing to the stone to the north of the glowing stone.

"Well, I guess we start there." Jake said out loud. The others nodded in agreement, still unable to completely believe the response of the glowing stones.

Not wanting to waste any more time the three friends stood and walked to the indicated stone. "I wonder if the glowing stone always shifts to show the arrow?" Jake asked more to himself then he looked between his companions. Kaid and Cyin just stood looking at the glowing stones, almost expecting it to answer Jake's question.

"Well at least we figured it out right?" Jake commented; a question not needing a response. As Kaid thought about the strangeness of all this he began counting stones.

"1...2...3 north, 1...2...east. Well this is it, but these stones are huge, how do we turn it?" Kaid asked. Without another word Cyin started to examine the stone closely. The first thing she noticed was a number of cracks in the stone that formed a triangle in the north west corner of the stone.

"Kaid I think this is it, but I can't see a way to move it." Cyin said.

"OK Cyin let me have a look." Kaid placed a hand on the stone and reached out with his power. The stone seemed perfectly normal. So Kaid then tried lifting the triangle out of the stone. It came out with only the smallest push from his power. Excitement gripped Kaid as he tried to spin the triangle clockwise, but it did not move! Not detoured, Kaid then tried a counter-clockwise move. The stone rotated slowly until all the sides lined up then Kaid let the stone fall.

Everyone gasped as a hum began in the air. At first it was felt more than heard, but as it grew in intensity the entire platform began to glow brightly. The light from the platform illuminated the surrounding weeds like a small sun. The air at the front of the platform began to waver and shift as if there were a great deal of heat rising from the stones. As the three stood watching an extension of the platform slowly appeared just past the haze.

"This is it! This is the way into the keep!" Cyin shouted. "We did it, we found it!" The excitement in Cyin's voice was obvious.

"OK we need to break camp, back quick and get going I have no idea how long this thing will last." As Kaid finished he turned from the strange hazy portal to see that his friends had already left to break camp. Following suit, Kaid left the portal to help his friends. As the three returned the portal was still the way they left it. Looking at each other the three stepped onto the platform and approached the portal.

"Hey look at this" Cyin said as she walked over the glowing stone. "It changed again." As Jake waked over he stopped, turned and yelled, "Get through the portal we only have four seconds left!"

Not taking time to question Jake's orders, Kaid and Cyin started running. They jumped through the portal followed a second later by Jake. As Kaid turned to look back the portal snapped shut.

"Jake how did you know?" Cyin asked.

"Well the glowing stone was counting down, as I watched it went from six to five then I shouted." Jake replied.

"Well that must be why Nib'Var told us that we were on our own getting back." Cyin said staring at the empty space where the portal used to be.

Turning to look away from the empty spot that marked the end of the journey to the keep Kaid wondered what was waiting for them at the keep.

The air on the bridge had a strange quality to it, like the steam in a bath house, only without the steam. The bridge stretched in front of them lit from some unknown source. Other then the bridge there was nothing, just a deep gray fog like atmosphere, at the end of the bridge was a large portcullis like the ones all those medieval castles have in the movies. As the trio approached the portcullis lifted to allow them to enter.
