(Setting: Shortly after The Chameleon)
Tao brow furrowed in concentration as he carefully bent the twigs to form a small loop. So close...so close...*Snap!* The twigs broke and Tao was left with a useless bits of wood in his hands.
"You have been trying for ages Tao," said a slightly distracted Dar as he fluidly twirled his staff in a complex pattern. "Maybe you need to take a break."
"I know I can do this Dar." Replied a distracted Tao. "I just need to think it through."
"How old are those twigs?"
"I just picked them."
"So it is not that they are old and brittle. Did you try soaking them in water?"
"I have a set soaking as we speak. It will be several hours until they are done though."
"Hmm..." Tao looked up just in time to see Dar thrust the blade of his staff into the ground and leap into a front flip, grabbing the head of his staff to help him complete a thrusting mid-air kick. Tao marveled at the smooth graceful play of muscles as the animal warrior landed, jerked his staff free and swung around. Tao was startled when the blade came just inches away from his neck. Dar's disarming smile spread across his handsome face in the moment of triumph.
"Gotcha!" Tao snorted and grabbed the staff playfully.
"Really, Dar, I swear I am nearly as fast as you are now, I just let you get that close because I didn't feel like devastating you with the moves I have been practicing in secret."
Dar let it slide that he and Tao were nearly inseparable but yanked on the staff, pulling Tao forward. Tao used the momentum to charge Dar, and was thrown when Dar grabbed Tao's arms and fell back, using his legs to push the young man into the air. That was one move that always caught Tao off guard, but he was prepared, thanks to constant practice, and saved himself from getting hurt by going into a roll. He jumped up and Dar was already putting his staff up.
"Come on, Tao, let's go get some food." The two strolled along for a while, eventually coming along side a stream. Tao was in the middle of trying to explain to Dar one of the many infinite uses of the circle when Dar jumped into the stream and threw two fat fish onto land.
"Your turn."
Tao grinned and picked up the fish to carry them to camp...
While the were fingering the hot fillets, gingerly taking small bites, Dar dropped his food, jumped up and whirled around, pulling the halves of his staff free and snapping them together. "Come on out. I know you are there."
Tao was bewildered for a moment and then angry as an all too familiar man walked into the camp. It was the kind stranger who had first welcomed them to the village of artists not too long ago.
"What do you want, Kyron?" demanded Dar curtly.
The stranger lifted his hands in surrender. "Hey! I am sorry about the baby, but I am really hungry, can I please have some fish?"
"There is a stream not to far from here, go catch a fish." Dar stilled addressed the stranger coldly.
"Look, I would love to go get my own fish, believe me, but I can't. I could really use some food...please." One could see the word of courtesy was straining the poor guy, so Tao took pity on him and asked Dar to let him join there meal. The was more than enough for the three of them if Kodo and Podo were sent to forage. Ten minutes later saw the trio sitting in a strained silence around the fire. Dar had his staff next to him, ready to use in case Kyron decided that being friendly was not so cool anymore. They finished the meal before anyone spoke again. The brave person to break the silence was Tao.
"Are you really a member of Samaria from which the changeling baby came?"
" Yes I am...was. I was exiled for my greed. They don't understand what is like to love Shyr."
"Shyr?" commented Dar, "That doesn't sound like any name I have heard before."
"I doubt you would have heard it before Dar" Tao said. His posture was suddenly rigid as he stared steadily at Kyron. "The Lyels were supposed to be only a myth. Their Leader was named Shyr. It was supposedly a band of man-lovers that went about marauding, as the Terrons do, but it was only supposed to be a tale."
"It is no tale." corrected Kyron. "But alive and well, but we maraud very little now-a-days. Well, they maraud little. I was trying to prove myself to Shyr with the baby fiasco, but I failed, and thus he has sworn off all knowledge of me. I worked for over a year on that brat, and have not lain with a man since, how I long for my Shyr..." Kyron drifted off, obviously fantasizing about Shyr, and did not see the questioning look Tao and Dar through each other. They finally reached a consensus of "later" and the three finished the meal in silence.
Somehow, Kyron ended up staying with the pair at their camp for the night. He lay one side while Tao and Dar lay on the other, a reasonable distance from each other. When Dar gave the signal, after making sure Kyron was asleep, Tao inched his way towards Dar. He had nearly forgotten what it was like to have those wonderful lips pressed against his own. The first thing he did when he reached the beautiful warrior was refresh his memory. Dar let the kiss remain skin deep only for a moment, but then he brought his hand around to lock Toa's head in place as he delved into him with his tongue. Tao began to rise, ostensibly to straddle Dar, but he was pushed back down by the warrior. The two continued to struggle quietly while kissing. When Kyron stirred a little, Dar pushed Tao away and turned onto his side. "Not tonight." Tao was disappointed, but Dar usually knew best, so Tao lay down and closed his eyes.
A few minutes later, he opened them again. *How am I supposed to sleep?* he thought to himself. He closed his eyes again and his mind viewed the image of Dar's handsome body as it had been a while back at the hot springs. Soft and malleable after a brutal episode with the Terrons, even for Dar, Tao had given Dar a kneading his muscles would not soon forget. How Tao longed to repeat that scene. It had been before Dar and Tao had discovered their love. Tao had enjoyed the sensation of his hands becoming one with Dar's body and felt a familiar aching in his lions just barely hinting at where it could have gone. Tao ran his hands lustliy over his chest and stomach. His balls had already begun to swell. Oh how he wanted Dar! He imagined the two of them entwined, Dar inside of Tao to the hilt, a passionate coupling that would soon have the two of them groaning and breathless. His hand wandered to lower and lower regions, reaching under his loin cloth. He gently massaged his almost pained sac and felt waves of pleasure wash over him. The hands moved out from their hiding place and ran over his legs as he drew them closer to his body. He finally reached his ankles and rested in that position, legs folded in half and spread as wide a they could go, his arms stretched to grab his feet.
" Meet me by the river in a few minutes" a voice whispered in tao's ear. Tao smiled and opened his eyes to look into those of his loved one. The face withdrew and Tao heard a slight rustling. A few minutes later, he couldn't wait any longer and he got up, quietly, intently leaving the camp. So focused that he did not notice he was the only one there...
Halfway to the river, in the midst of a thick copse of trees, where the moonlight had not reached, Dar grabbed him from behind. Tao whipped around as quickly as he could and began hungrily devouring the man. When the mouth could yield no more, he worked his way down. Tao was on his knees and eagerly imagining the throbbing member of Dar's when dar stepped forward, forcing Tao back. Tao willingly gave ground until he was flat on his back with his feet under him. A stubbled cheek rubbed roughly against Tao's nipple, hardening it and sending shivers through Tao's body. Insistent arms turned Tao over and brought him up to his hands and knees. Without delay, a cock lubricated by freely flowing pre-cum was pushed slowly into Tao. After being all the way in, a moment of rest was allowed and Tao's eyes rolled backwards in the sweet agony of penetration. Tao was just barely able to hold back a groan when the deep powerful rhythm began, hitting him inside over and over. A hand came off one of his hips and stroked Tao in time, multiplying the effect of that button being punched repeatedly. Dar came and, when the spasms of pleasure were done gripping him, he relaxed and slid out of Tao. Tao, still unsatisfied, rubbed against Dar's slightly furred chest. Dar, feeling a bit lazy simply pulled Tao's head down to his own member and Tao licked himself, tasting the salty fluid which covered him. He managed to get the whole head in his mouth, his neck screaming from being stretched so much, when he came. He swallowed the cum and sat up, turning to kiss a Dar that had already left, leaving him all alone in the pitch black...
Morning broke upon a sleepy Tao and an alert Kyron at the camp, Dar was no where to be seen. Tao was unconcerned, Dar rarely asked for Tao permission when he had the hankering to do something or go somewhere. Tao's only worry was that Kyron might try something, but Tao hoped that his weak practicing would provide him some marginal defense. Early morning progressed to late morning and still Dar did not appear. Tao was beginning to get worried. What could possible have happened to keep Dar away this long without some warning. Since it would be useless to go anywhere, Tao sat cross-legged under a tree and began anew his attempts of forming the miraculous circle. Kyron hung around for a while, then disappeared. Tao was glad to be rid of the menacing presence. Kyron was probably a very nice guy, but Tao felt afraid without Dar there. A twig snapped from around the tree and Tao rushed around to embrace his lover without pausing to remember that Dar never makes a sound when he moves. Kyron worked quickly and with two short jabs to the chin and chest Tao was on the ground in pain watching himself be tied up...
Dar woke to a pounding headache, burning sensations in his wrists and ankles, and difficulty breathing. His ankles and wrists were hog tied behind his back and an extension was attached to the knot that led to Dar's neck. The arrangement quite effectively kept Dar from moving at all unless he wished to give up the privilege of breathing. Dar groaned and swore that he would kill Tao for pulling a fast one on him. /Kodo! Podo! I need your help. Come chew through these ropes!/ Though they answered immediately, it was some time before they actually appeared. Kodo still had a few crumbs on his mouth. /I can't believe you stopped to eat!/ The ferrets did not deign to answer, but merely set to work setting their friend free.
Dar snuck up to the camp, preparing to pounce on Tao, but dropped the pretense in short time when he caught sight of the scuffle marks in the dirt. Tao had fought some one, and since Dar saw no one when he glanced around, Tao lost. Much practice moved the cleaning of camp with speed and Dar was soon on his way, tracking down his friend...
It took several weeks for it to happen, but Dar finally caught up with Kyron and a sadly silent Tao. It took nearly another week before Dar finally figured out a way to capture Kyron, but all that was in the past and now Tao and Dar sat munching on crisp fish while a hog-tied Kyron watched hungrily. Tao still spoke little and seemed reluctant to make contact with Dar. Dar did not quite understand why, but decided that such a traumatic experience as being abducted would make anyone quiet for a time. Dar watched sympathetically as Tao's eyes darted from Kyron to Dar and back over and over again. He was looking down at his food during the moment when shock/horror washed momentarily over Tao's face...
Tao was nervously trying to piece together his life during the past several weeks. Most vivid was the memory of the night before his abduction. How could Dar make him feel so special at one point and then desert him the next morning? Kyron, on the other hand, had been a perfect gentleman, if one allowed for the fact that Tao was Kyron's prisoner. While looking back and forth, Tao left his tired questions behind to pursue relieving, nonthreatening thoughts. Like how Dar always had so smooth a face and body. Never once had Tao seen Dar shave or even see Dar in possession of anything which could be used for that purpose. Kyron, however, carefully trimmed himself every day so that he constantly looked worn out with a day or two worth of growth on him. Tao was brought once again to the sensation on that night of the prickly cheek rubbing on his chest, surely Dar must shave...
The three laid down to sleep, Tao choosing this time to stay away from Dar, who looked almost hurt by the action, but accepted it. Tao closed his eyes and focused on the warmth of the fire. Relaxing his tension away...
/I am having a dream/ is what Tao thought when he felt a touch. It has been weeks since he had felt Dar's touch. Toa pushed all negative feelings aside and focused on enjoying the act about to happen. Hands covered his eyes and mouth. Lips pressed against the lower tip of his sternum, the solar plexus. He smiled and, the hands feeling that smile removed themselves and traveled down Tao's sides. Tao kept his eyes closed, thoroughly enjoying the sensation. A line of warmth as a tongue slid down Tao's navel caused a slight chill to run through him and a sharp increase in the pain emanating from his groin. The hands untied the loincloth, removed the leather garment, exposing Tao's hard member and oversized, tender eggs. Gentle lips opened and closed, brushing against the head of Tao's dick. The brushing continued down the belly to the base and over the balls, where the tongue joined the game again, seeing how many times it could go around the complete set in as little time as possible. After finally learning to settle down a little, the tongue ceased racing and began to timidly explore the crevice below Tao's sac. Tao lifted his hips a little, making more room for Dar, but giving him a bit of a challenge, the tongue now having to fight taut muscles to explore further. But the mouth did not give up and soon Tao rolled over, his face towards the fire, and relaxed, allowing the hands to push Tao's arms up, exposing his sides, and begin running restlessly and lightly over the rest of Tao's back. A head pushed into Tao's mounds, the tongue stretching, probing, searching to go in deep. It found the entrance it was looking for and entered. Tao quickly clenched his muscles, attempting to capture the sly tongue, but it was in vain. The tongue escaped and finished roaming up Tao's crevice to the base of his spine. A rough cheek pressed against Tao's back moving slowly upward toward the head. Tao remembered his ruminations from earlier in the evening---
The sliding cheek paused when it felt the fear take over Tao's body. The hands quickly grabbed Tao's hands and one kept them pinned down while the other freed itself to cover Tao's mouth. A knee came to rest just above Tao's aching balls. "Keep quiet or you will be short two parts of your body." Tao made no move except to open his eyes and glance up. /Kyron! Oh gods I am not dreaming!/ "I am going to take you, and you are not going to fight me. Or you might, but that will only make it better. We are going to do it right this time. No pretending...I want you, you are so beautiful..." Kyron interrupted his speech to flicker his tongue back and forth across Tao's earlobe for a second and then he kissed Tao's ear. " It will take Shyr a while to accept me back, but I will prove my worth to him somehow. Until then, you will make a fine substitution."
Guided by Kyron's hands, a silent Tao moved onto his hands and knees. Kyron grabbed Tao's hips fiercely and reminded Tao that he must be abslutely silent if he wanted to live. Tao waited fearfully for Kyron, and was not surprised when the violent thrusting began. Apart from the pain, Tao was amazed at how Kyron was able to move so much a still not wake Dar. He was considering whether or not it was worth the risk to yell when he was shoved forward, his face rubbing into the ground. "No good!" cursed Kyron under his breath. He thought for a moment and then grabbed Tao by his hair, wrenching his head back and then down, shoving his dick in his face. "Make me cum." He commanded. He hesitated, which made the impatient Kyron angry and Tao received a jerk from his oppressor. Kyron jabbed Tao in the side of his neck with his finger and Tao's mouth involuntarily fell open. The invitation did not go unheeded by Kyron and Tao almost choked on the pumping cock as it sped back and forth, in and out. " Suck goddamit!" Kyron yelled, oblivious to the Beastmaster. Tao obeyed and Kyron slowed slightly, allowing Tao some control over what happened. Tao did his best to imitate the thrusting motion Kyron was aiming for and added the movement of his tongue. He was rewarded several minutes later by a slowing down of the rhythm and a relaxing of Kyron body, although Tao's head was still in a death grip. Kyron pulled and pushed Tao's head to complement his own thrusts and finally came, pushing Tao's face into his pubic hair, going as deeply into Tao as he could. Finally emptied, he threw Tao aside, used the limp scholar's loincloth to wipe himself clean, threw the cloth in the fire and ran from the camp...
Dar awoke the next morning and thought it strange to see Tao sleeping naked. Never before had Tao taken all his clothes off unless- Kyron was gone! All Dar saw was a empty rope. There were no footprints. /I wish he had been my friend/ thought Dar. /To walk without footprints would be a thing indeed.../. The thought was quickly abandoned for concern for Tao. Dar walked over to his friend and knelt over to gently shake him. Receiving no response, Dar grinned slyly and kissed his lover.
Tao awoke violently and, in fear, instinctively shoved the body above him as hard as he could. Dar narrowly avoided landing in the fire. Instead he rolled several times and by the time he finally got back up Tao was shoving his clothes on and trying to run away at the same time. Dar jumped up, grabbed a limb from a nearby tree and swung himself to land in front of Tao. Tao got even angrier and stopped dressing to cross his arms and shoot Dar with a glance of hatred and fear.
"Dar," Tao whispered in a menacing tone, "You will get out of my way or you will be VERY sorry." Dar could not respond for a moment as his eyes roved over his lover's half covered body. Thus, he was caught unprepared when Tao threw a small, bulbous mushroom that burst when it made contact with Dar's face. A burning sensation got's Dar's immediate attention as the poison from the mushroom quickly got to work. "That was something I was saving for Kyron if I ever had the chance to escape. You obviously deserve it more!" Dar just barely registered Toa's words. /Oh the Pain!/ All Dar could feel was fire on his skin. /Think Dar! Think! Where is the closest stream?/ Dar managed to call to Ruh. Who was thankfully listening and in the vicinity, and Ruh Carefully led Dar o water. After rinsing himself off, Dar felt fine, he felt his face carefully for scarring or burns, but could feel nothing...
While Dar was attempting to recover from the fungal bomb Tao had so providentially found, the little scholar was making the best speed he could for home. On his way, he snatched at passing plants, collecting more weapons in case of other emergencies...
