A Walk Through the Gardens He felt hot, but it wasn't the gentle and warm sensation he had got used to during the last few days, that glorious feeling that made him happy. No, it was an umbereable sensation, almost painful, he didn't want to be there. He opened his eyes and looked around, only to find himself in a small room, he had seen it before but he couldn't place when, mostly due to the fact that the whole room was on fire, the flames surrounding him as the smoke filled the cramped space, the papers scattered around the ground spreading the fire, getting those flames closing him. It was right when he saw the flickering lick mere inches from him, that he felt a hand of his shoulder and someone calling his name. "Snow... Snow... Snow!" screamed the voice. The cat woke up with a jolt, seating right on his bed as his eyes got used to the light on the room, he looked to the side and saw Aiden, his roomate, looking at him. "Hey, you are gonna be late for breakfeast sleepyhead" continued the hyena. "Yeah, sorry" replied the cat, getting up from his bed and putting on his light-blue robes. "You allright? you were shaking quite a bit back there" "Oh yeah, just a nightmare" answered Snow, finally getting a cat, taking a few moments to get his white fur straight looking at his mirror, the only priced furniture he had, and followed Aiden down the tower, getting to the main mess hall of the Academya, where students, teachers and visiting Magic Wielders ate together. Aidan and Snow took a seat at their usual table, other students passing by waving at the hyena while Snow was ignored, not many people talked to orphans, but the little cub enjoyed to be left alone, specially now that his mind was still wondering about the strange dream he had had. "Snow?" asked a voice at his side. Snow, sighing and wondering how he had just gotten used to this kind of things, looked up and saw young black feathered crown looking down at him, the crow was dressed in an elegant brown and white uniform. "That's me" replied the young cat, noticing how now everyone in the room was looking at him. "I have a message from House Eclipse" continued the crow, giving the cat a rolled paper sealed with a was circle bearing the sigyl of the Eclipse. Snow took the paper, noticind how the room had felt completely silent, while the messenger simply went back the way he had come. The young cub broke the seal of the letter and unrolled it, reading it's content quickly. It was an invitation from Alec, the Prince asking him to join him that morning at the Castle to spend some time together. Smiling happily, the boy stored the letter in one of the pockets of his tunic. "So... what was it?" asked Aiden, looking at him intriguingly, almost as anyone in the room, even though the yeen flashed him a knowing grin. "Well... It's seems that I will be busy today" answered Snow, getting up from his seat and making his way outside the Library, his breakfast left unfinished on the table. As the message had said, a carriage was already waiting for him at the Library's gates, the coachman, a brown furred horse, opening the door and letting the little cat in. Snow found it really difficult to stay put, sitting on the comfortable seats, his excitement only getting stronger as he begun recognizing the buildings that passed through the carriage windows, the cub giddily jumping in his seat. Finally, the carriage stopped, and the horse once again opened the door, Snow jumping outside and running inside the palace, not even bothering to thank the coachman while he passed through the gates, the guards already familiarized with the white furred cub not even bothering to move and simpley letting him through. The cat ran through the paths around the castle, without caring what the people that might see him would think about his lack of manners. At last, the feline finally saw a young, black furred deer seeting on a stone bench, Snow instantly recognizing the Prince of the Eclipse Isles. Alec's ears perked up, the deer only having time to get up from his seat and turn around before white soft thing hit him and hugged him tightly, the deer laughing as he looked into the eyes of the boy he loved, patting the cub on the head. "Someone seems a little bit happy today" commented the deer. Snow only purred and nodded in response, still hugging the older boy. "You... are... not... letting... me... breathe..." huffed Alec. The boy finally let go of the deer, the Prince breathing harshly for a few moments as Snow patiently waited by his side, his attention focused on the deer as it was the only thing that mattered for him. "So this is the boy?" asked a voice beneath them. Snow felt himself shivering as he looked down to see something forming from the shadows beneath the deer, a mass of darkness getting out from the shadows of the deer jacket and growing. As he got instinctively closer to the Prince, his eyes fixed on the shadow taking form in front of him as fear rised in his chest. Meanwhile, the dark mass got bigger and started changind, Snow could recognize some structures beginning to form, like four big clawed paws a bushy and stron tail and a long mouth, it wasn't long until right before the cub was an enormous feral black wolf, almost as big as him, with half a wolf skull on its head, and black, empty eyes. Snow felt a hand grabbing his shoulder, the cat looking up to see Alec looking down at him, giving him a reasuring nod. "Snow, let me introduce you to Eklipse, a loyal companion" introduced the Prince. "B-But T-That's a-a..." stammered the boy, still feeling afraid of the great wolf in front of him. "He sure is brilliant" commented the animal, sarcastically, with a voice that seemed to come from the ground beneath it. "Shush you" commaned the deer, as he saw Snow getting even more weirded out by hearing Eklipse speaking "Snow, as you might have noticed, Eklipse is a crawler" "B-But... They are supposed to be extinct!" said the cat, finally managing to speak. "There are still a few living in the Shadow Isle, I found Eklipse there, almost dead... so I took him in and healed him, he's been by my side ever since" explained the Prince. "What a moving story" replied ever sarcastic crawler. "Yeah... well, why don't we get moving" said the Prince, getting a few steps down the path "Well?" And that's how the three of them went on to spend the day together, Snow still feeling mostly scared at first, being in the company of the nightmarish creature that used the be the main character of the stories they told to scare the kids and make them behave. But as the day passed, Snow got more comfortable, mostly due to Alec's presence, and discovered that apart from his dry attitude, there was nothing dangerous about the crawler. So the cat went on to spend a great evening with his boyfriend and his pet, Snow enjoying every single moment as they walked through the Palace Gardens or cuddled in a boat in the Garden's lake. But as time passed by, the ending of their date came closer, the deer and the prince walking down the path back in silence, simpley enjoying each other company while the sunset lit their way. It was while they were slowly walking, both of them dreading the moment of their separation, when they heard some voices coming from around the corner. The Prince froze in place as he recognised his mother's voice and frantically looked around for a place to hide, as he was not ready for the Queen to meet Snow. As the cat wondered what had gotten the deer so nervous, he was grabbed by the collar and thrown through the high bush walls that surrounded the path, finding himself layind down on a blanket of soft green grass. "W-What are you doing?!" asked Snow, as he turned around to see Alec getting through the bush, signalling for him to stay silent. Snow was weirded out by the Prince's behaviour, until he also heard someone speaking on the path. "I'm growing really tired of this interruptions, Alya" said a feminine voice. "Don't worry Maris, everything shall go as planned, I will make sure of it during the next ball" replied another feminine voice. Both females continued their talk as they sat down on a stone bench, unaware of the fact that just at the other side of the bushes behind them, where the two boys and the crawler. Alec's mind was running like mad, trying to find a way out of this as he hid from his mother. It was as she looked around that he noticed something weird happening in their small hiding place. He noticed that Eklipse was acting weird, the crawler growing and shaking its head as he paced aroung the clearing. "Eklipse... you doing allright?" whispered the deer, trying to get the crawlers attention. Snow also looked at the creature and saw it getting even more frantic, only having a few moments to wonder about Eklipse before the crawler pounced of him, shoving him against the ground on all fours. Snow screamed, scared, but he soon felt Alec's hand over his maw, muffling him. The Prince looked back to see if the noise had alerted anyone, but thankfully it seemed that no one had noticed. With a relieved sigh, the deer looked back to the clearing and it was then that he noticed the small white flowers that dotted the bushes around the small clearing. "Shit! Those are Lighwïans" said the deer. Snow only gave a questioning muffled sound that turned into a surprised muffled yelp when he felt Eklispe climbing on top of him. "They have a particular effect on crawlers, making them go completely feral" continued Alec, whispering. Snow felt his fear returning after hearing those words, trying to move and get the creature off of him, but a growl besides his ear made him freeze in place, the cat slowly turning his head to look back at the crawler on top of him. He first noticed the beast fangs, menacingly close to his face, but as he looked back, he saw another thing that scared him even more, as the young cub had looked at the beast hindquarters, noticing the girthy and enormous black canine shaft hanging between Eklipse's legs. Alec could see that Snow was growing even more scared by the moment, the deer fearing that the noises the cat was trying to make as he squirmed would alert his mother sitting right at the other side of the bushes. So acting fast, the Prince got in his knees, resting the cat's head against his lap as he gently patted Snow's head wth one hand, while still muffling the boy with his other hand, whispering soft reasuring words into the cub's ears as he saw black tendrils emerging from Eklipse's body and tuggeng at the boy's robes, ripping his wizard robes to shreds and leaving the boy naked. The Prince's touch and caring words did very little to calm the scared scat, specially when he felt the hard tip of the crawler's big dock poking at his asscheeks, trying to find the entrance to his backside. The cub once again tried to struggle, but he couldn't free himself from the steel grasp of the frenzied beast on top of him. It didn't take long for the cat to scream once more, a muffled, high-pitched sounde, filling the small hiding spot as the cub felt the tip of that hard cock finally finding the entrance to his tight ring, tears overflowing the young cub's eyes as the girthy rod stretched him opened, the crawler shoving his whole lenght inside the boy in one go, making his belly bulge from the sheer size of it. Even though Snow had gotten used to having things shoved up his tailhole, the young at wasn't prepared in any way to be spread open by the crawler's meat, specially without the help of any lube. And the cat wasn't absolutely ready to Eklipse's rythm, the beast going from zero to one hundred percent in just a few thrusts, the creatures's hips a blurr as it rapidly thrusted inside of him, pearcing his ring with shove after shove of that monster cock. Alec could do nothing but try to reasure the little cat as he tried to muffle the pained whimpers coming from the cub. Hoping that they could get this over with quickly and without anyone noticing. On his part, Eklipse was feeling in pure bliss, his feral instincts kicking in as he felt the tight walls of the bitch beneath him wrapping around his length. The beast tongue hanging out from his mouth as he kept thrusting into the boy. It wasn't long before wet sounds filled the small clearing, the pre coming from the crawler's meat lubing the cub's tailhole, allowing him to shove his dick even faster. Alec silently prayed to the gods that no one heard the sounds the beast's rough fucking was making, while he saw the beast slowing his thrusts. Snow also felt Eklipse slowing his pace, but he also felt a swelling in the crawler's dick tugging at his entrance, making it more difficult each time for the dick to pull out of him. The boy had had far enough experiences with Aiden to know what was about to happen, but his willingness to fight had decreased during all the action, as the girth inside of him pushed against his prostate and the pre coming from the crawler's tip lubed his ring, lessening the pain and increasing the pleasure, his pained whimpers turning to moans as he felt the crawler's knot tugging at his tailhole. Eklipse kept pushing against that deliciously tight hole, his instincts begging for him to tie with the boy, the pressure in his loins reaching his limits but still needing that final push to get over it. Finally, with one last heavy shove, the crawler got his knot deep inside the warm hole of the boy, a satisfied growl coming from the beast as he emptied his dark balls inside the cub. Snow moaned as he felt the beat warm seed filling his insides, making his belly bulge even more from the sheer amount of cum that was beeing shot inside of him, the crawler knot making sure that all the seed stayed inside the cub. Even despite the rough treatment he had received, the incredible feeling waving through his body brought him over the edge as well, the young cat's load painting the grass beneath him. Snow's legs gave in beneath the boy, the cat laying down on the ground as the crawler lifted his leg over the cub and turned around, standing ass to ass with the feline. The three of them laid there for a while, as they waited for the crawler's knot to deflate. Thankfully for the prince it seemed that his mother and Lady Maris had decided to return to the palace long ago. Some time later, with some tugging and a loud "pop", Eklipse finally got his knot outside the boy, the crawler's seed guzzing out of the cub's abused hole. Snow panting as he finally felt the heat in his loins reducing. "Why is it I always find like this?" asked a femine voice beside them. "Well, I can assure you that I did not have any intention of this to happen" answered the boy, already having recognized Sombra's voice. "Sure..." replied the shadowcat, giving the deer a sly grin "I think you might want this" continued Sombra, while leaving some light blue wizard robes on the ground, before disappearing once again. Sometime later, Alec and Snow were seating in a carriage, the cub laying on the deer's lap while they made their way back to the Library, Eklipse left behind at the palace after profusely apologizing to the younger boy, once the effect of the flowers wore off. Despite the unexpected turn their day had taken, Snow was purring happilly as Alec caressed him, the cat's backside still feeling a little bit sore after the rough treatment it had received. As Alec was looking at his boyfriend, enjoying the sight in front of him, the carriage abruptly stopped. Snow getting up from his laying down position startled by the sudden stop, as the sounds of screams and carriages running by filling the carriage. The Prince got up from the seat and opened the carriage's door, wanting to ask the coachman the reason of this sudden stop, of course there was no need for that when he looked towards the Library's building... The Archmage tower was on fire.
