  "description": "[i]The clamor of the stamp mill reverberated through the valley, each heavy thud of the iron hammers driving deep into the ore like the pulse of a living beast. The mill, perched among the hillsides along the Thunder Mountain lode, roared to life with a relentless, mechanical rhythm. The massive water wheel groaned and creaked as it turned, its slow, powerful motion feeding the gears beneath the rough-hewn wooden beams. With every turn, it drove the large conveyor belts, funneling veins of gold-bearing quartz into the crushing jaws of the mill. On the side of the building, in big bold letters was the name; “Ryder’s Mill.” \n \nThe young cockapoo woman adjusted her pink goggles, her equally bright pink eyes sparkling with determination. She tugged on a pair of rubber gloves, their snug fit a familiar comfort, then carefully tipped the glass vial into the beaker. Inside the vial, mercury swirled, a silvery liquid that she handled with the utmost caution. As it splashed into the glass, she watched it settle, knowing that the balance had to be precise. This was easier said than done with the constant rumble of the stamps reverberating through the mill. The mercury would mix with the gold-bearing ore, binding to the gold flakes in a process called amalgamation. Once the gold and mercury formed an amalgam, it would be heated in an oven, the mercury vaporizing away, leaving only the precious gold behind. \n\nHer task was to perfect this delicate process, to maximize the amount of gold recovered with every batch. Her skill could make all the difference in how much fortune they could claim. The dog capped the beaker and peeled off her gloves, setting them aside before rising from the workbench. She practically skipped across the workshop, her thick heeled shoes clacking on the floorboards as her skirt fluttered around her legs, as she reached for a shelf full of glass measuring equipment. \n\n\"Skye!\" came a voice, distorted by the speaking tube it traveled through. \"How’s that mixture coming along?\"\n\nSkye spun on her heels, popping the cap off her end of the speaking tube. \"Hold your horses, Everest! I’m just about done. This batch is going to be super pure!\"\n\nShe pulled off her goggles, in the process mussing up her fluffy ear fur which cascaded along her shoulders. She grabbed the beaker off the workbench and walked over to a firepole that passed through a circular opening in the floor. She slid down the pole, passing through the processing floor and past the giant iron hammers on their trays. Landing on the bottom floor production floor, she dismounted the pole with a flourish. \n\n“Hey Skye, you’re looking bright today.” A young German shepherd in a black vest and sack coat smiled. He had a wooden baton in his belt, and the butt of a revolver poked out of his waistband. “Ready for your birthday tomorrow?” \n\n“Thank you, Chase,” Skye smiled, her stubby tail wagging merrily. “Yes sir! The big two zero!” \n\nChase had been the Mill’s guard since its earliest days, and he and Skye shared a history that stretched back to the very founding of Ryder’s Mill. Like all of those who worked in the isolated mill, they knew each other very intimately. With no towns nearby and no railroad to link them to the outside world, the workers here lived in a small, tight-knit community. Everyone knew each other intimately—every little habit, every unspoken gesture, every secret. The cockapoo couldn’t lie about the attraction of Chase’s firm canine body and charming smile, like others in the mill, they had slipped into each other’s beds, seeking warmth and comfort in the stillness of the mountains. In a place so far removed from the world, anything seemed possible, and more often than not, it did.\n\nChase slipped his thumbs into his waistband. “Got any plans?”\n\nSkye’s cheeks flushed slightly as she tucked a loose strand of fur behind her ear. “Oh, I just might,” she said, her voice soft but full of anticipation. “We’re almost done with this load, and we’ve got a full weekend before the next wagons show up from Rainbow Ridge. Two whole days to celebrate! It’s going to be wonderful.”\n\nChase raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth. “Two whole days, huh? Sounds like you’ve got something special in mind.”\n\nSkye laughed, her tail wagging faster. “Maybe I do!” She winked at him. “And I’m planning on spending tomorrow with someone special.”\n\nChase’s ears perked up, his tail giving a small, curious wag. “Someone special, huh? Hmm, I wonder who that could be?”\n\nSkye’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “I’m heading into town for the day. There’s a lot to do, but I’m looking forward to just spending time away from all this—just a chance to relax and enjoy the day. It’s been a while since I’ve done something just for me.”\n\nChase gave a firm nod, his face softening with understanding. “That sounds like exactly what you deserve. You’ve been working so hard around here. And don’t worry—nothing at the mill is going to get in the way of your special day.”\n\nSkye’s heart warmed at his words. “Thanks, Chase. I appreciate that.”\n\n“You can count on me,” he said with a confident grin. “I’ll make sure everything runs smoothly here while you’re out. You don’t have to worry about a thing.” He gave her a playful salute. “You focus on enjoying yourself. You and your special someone.”\n\nSkye beamed. “I knew I could count on you! You’re the best, Chase.”\n\nHe winked. “Anything for you, Skye. Go make the most of it, and have the best birthday ever.”\n\nSkye descended the creaky wooden staircase that ran alongside one of the massive stampers. The heavy steel hammers pounded relentlessly above with a deafening rhythm. She winced against the noise, quickly tucking her hands into her ears to block out the barrage of sound as the hammers ground the ore into smaller, more manageable pieces. Her body trembled slightly with each strike.\n\nReaching the bottom, she ducked through a low doorway, forcing herself to crouch to avoid banging her head. She emerged onto a narrow walkway that wound around the hulking waterwheel, its massive spokes turning with a slow, constant creak. The wheel churned the water below, its steady motion powering the entire operation. Skye stood for a moment, steadying herself, as the rhythmic thrum of the wheel mingled with the harsh clanging from above. She peeked around the massive wheel, her heart pounding in her chest. There, by the wheel’s bearings, was Everest. The husky held an oil can in her hands as she drizzled lubricant onto the great, spinning mechanism. The soft glow of the afternoon sun bathed the deck in amber light, casting a halo around Everest’s silver fur. Skye’s breath caught.\n\n“Hiyah, Skye!” Everest called out, looking up with a grin, her ears twitching. Her voice carried over the hum of the wheel. “Got that new batch ready?”\n\nSkye’s tail wagged involuntarily. “Yah huh!” She held out the capped beaker, her pink eyes alight. “Right here, Everest. The purest yet!”\n\nThe husky’s smile widened as she set the oil can down on the workbench. She moved toward Skye, her long legs carrying her quickly. Without hesitation, Everest wrapped her arms around Skye in a warm, tight hug. Skye’s heart fluttered at the familiar embrace. Everest was slightly taller than her, and Skye could feel the husky’s larger bust through the fabric of her coveralls. She leaned into the embrace, relishing the closeness. When they pulled apart, Everest’s eyes sparkled as she examined the beaker.\n\n\"Wonderful job,\" Everest said, a soft admiration in her tone. \"You really have a knack for chemistry.\"\n\nSkye flushed, a modest grin on her face. \"Oh, it’s nothing. You should see the stuff I’m really cracking on!\"\n\nEverest raised an eyebrow, hands on her hips. \"Still trying to make that airship idea work?\"\n\nSkye bounced on the balls of her feet, her excitement nearly overflowing. \"I’m this close, Everest. I’m talking this close to figuring out the perfect lifting gas! That’s really the last hurdle.” She waved her arms, her energy impossible to contain. “Once I get that down, I can start building the frame!\" \n\nEverest’s smile softened, but there was a playful glint in her eyes. \"If you get that figured out by tomorrow morning, we can apply for the patent while we’re in town.\" She tapped Skye on the nose. \"That is, if we’re not distracted by the big surprise.\"\n\n\"Peg's Palace!\" Skye froze, her eyes wide. “You haven’t!” she gasped, her tail suddenly still.\n\nEverest’s grin widened, a knowing glint in her eyes as she stepped closer, placing her hands gently on Skye’s hips. “Maybe I have,” she said with a wink. “Can’t have a birthday without a real party.”\n\nSkye’s heart skipped a beat. \"You’re the best!\" she squealed, a shiver of excitement running through her. Before she could say anything more, the two leaned in, their lips meeting in a soft, sweet kiss that spoke volumes more than words ever could. The kiss deepened, and Everest closer her teeth around Skye’s lower lip, and gave it a tender nibble. For a moment, the world seemed to slow around them, the waterwheel’s groaning a background hum.\n\nWhen they pulled away, the husky’s voice dropped to a teasing whisper. “Hang onto that thought for later,” she murmured, her breath warm against Skye’s ear. Her hands found the cockapoo’s rump, and gripped her cheeks through the silk skirt, “We leave for Rainbow Ridge bright and early tomorrow. Then it’s just a train ride to Marceline.”\n\nSkye sighed dreamily, her arms still wrapped around Everest’s neck. “Can’t wait,” she cooed, her face flushed with happiness.\n\n“Neither can I.” Everest’s grin grew, and she gave the golden furred woman a hearty smack on one of her buttocks. Skye let out a light bark, then leaned her forehead against the husky’s, both of them lost in the shared excitement of what was to come. [/i]\n\n******\n\nI know....almost nothing about these characters. Other then some basic personalities. I don't watch this show, nor do I intend to. Just wanted to draw them after seeing some other artists have their take on the designs. I pulled this story outta my bum just to incorporate them more into this world. Maybe if the interest is there, I'll flesh their story out more. But it won't be anytime soon. I have way to many other stories to tell! ",

He had a wooden baton in his belt, and the butt of a revolver poked out of his waistband. &ldquo;Ready for your birthday tomorrow?&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you, Chase,&rdquo; Skye smiled, her stubby tail wagging merrily. &ldquo;Yes sir! The big two zero!&rdquo; <br /><br />Chase had been the Mill&rsquo;s guard since its earliest days, and he and Skye shared a history that stretched back to the very founding of Ryder&rsquo;s Mill. Like all of those who worked in the isolated mill, they knew each other very intimately. With no towns nearby and no railroad to link them to the outside world, the workers here lived in a small, tight-knit community. Everyone knew each other intimately&mdash;every little habit, every unspoken gesture, every secret. The cockapoo couldn&rsquo;t lie about the attraction of Chase&rsquo;s firm canine body and charming smile, like others in the mill, they had slipped into each other&rsquo;s beds, seeking warmth and comfort in the stillness of the mountains. In a place so far removed from the world, anything seemed possible, and more often than not, it did.<br /><br />Chase slipped his thumbs into his waistband. &ldquo;Got any plans?&rdquo;<br /><br />Skye&rsquo;s cheeks flushed slightly as she tucked a loose strand of fur behind her ear. &ldquo;Oh, I just might,&rdquo; she said, her voice soft but full of anticipation. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re almost done with this load, and we&rsquo;ve got a full weekend before the next wagons show up from Rainbow Ridge. Two whole days to celebrate! It&rsquo;s going to be wonderful.&rdquo;<br /><br />Chase raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth. &ldquo;Two whole days, huh? Sounds like you&rsquo;ve got something special in mind.&rdquo;<br /><br />Skye laughed, her tail wagging faster. &ldquo;Maybe I do!&rdquo; She winked at him. &ldquo;And I&rsquo;m planning on spending tomorrow with someone special.&rdquo;<br /><br />Chase&rsquo;s ears perked up, his tail giving a small, curious wag. &ldquo;Someone special, huh? Hmm, I wonder who that could be?&rdquo;<br /><br />Skye&rsquo;s eyes sparkled with excitement. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m heading into town for the day. There&rsquo;s a lot to do, but I&rsquo;m looking forward to just spending time away from all this&mdash;just a chance to relax and enjoy the day. It&rsquo;s been a while since I&rsquo;ve done something just for me.&rdquo;<br /><br />Chase gave a firm nod, his face softening with understanding. &ldquo;That sounds like exactly what you deserve. You&rsquo;ve been working so hard around here. And don&rsquo;t worry&mdash;nothing at the mill is going to get in the way of your special day.&rdquo;<br /><br />Skye&rsquo;s heart warmed at his words. &ldquo;Thanks, Chase. I appreciate that.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You can count on me,&rdquo; he said with a confident grin. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll make sure everything runs smoothly here while you&rsquo;re out. You don&rsquo;t have to worry about a thing.&rdquo; He gave her a playful salute. &ldquo;You focus on enjoying yourself. You and your special someone.&rdquo;<br /><br />Skye beamed. &ldquo;I knew I could count on you! You&rsquo;re the best, Chase.&rdquo;<br /><br />He winked. &ldquo;Anything for you, Skye. Go make the most of it, and have the best birthday ever.&rdquo;<br /><br />Skye descended the creaky wooden staircase that ran alongside one of the massive stampers. The heavy steel hammers pounded relentlessly above with a deafening rhythm. She winced against the noise, quickly tucking her hands into her ears to block out the barrage of sound as the hammers ground the ore into smaller, more manageable pieces. Her body trembled slightly with each strike.<br /><br />Reaching the bottom, she ducked through a low doorway, forcing herself to crouch to avoid banging her head. She emerged onto a narrow walkway that wound around the hulking waterwheel, its massive spokes turning with a slow, constant creak. The wheel churned the water below, its steady motion powering the entire operation. Skye stood for a moment, steadying herself, as the rhythmic thrum of the wheel mingled with the harsh clanging from above. She peeked around the massive wheel, her heart pounding in her chest. There, by the wheel&rsquo;s bearings, was Everest. The husky held an oil can in her hands as she drizzled lubricant onto the great, spinning mechanism. The soft glow of the afternoon sun bathed the deck in amber light, casting a halo around Everest&rsquo;s silver fur. Skye&rsquo;s breath caught.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hiyah, Skye!&rdquo; Everest called out, looking up with a grin, her ears twitching. Her voice carried over the hum of the wheel. &ldquo;Got that new batch ready?&rdquo;<br /><br />Skye&rsquo;s tail wagged involuntarily. &ldquo;Yah huh!&rdquo; She held out the capped beaker, her pink eyes alight. &ldquo;Right here, Everest. The purest yet!&rdquo;<br /><br />The husky&rsquo;s smile widened as she set the oil can down on the workbench. She moved toward Skye, her long legs carrying her quickly. Without hesitation, Everest wrapped her arms around Skye in a warm, tight hug. Skye&rsquo;s heart fluttered at the familiar embrace. Everest was slightly taller than her, and Skye could feel the husky&rsquo;s larger bust through the fabric of her coveralls. She leaned into the embrace, relishing the closeness. When they pulled apart, Everest&rsquo;s eyes sparkled as she examined the beaker.<br /><br />&quot;Wonderful job,&quot; Everest said, a soft admiration in her tone. &quot;You really have a knack for chemistry.&quot;<br /><br />Skye flushed, a modest grin on her face. &quot;Oh, it&rsquo;s nothing. You should see the stuff I&rsquo;m really cracking on!&quot;<br /><br />Everest raised an eyebrow, hands on her hips. &quot;Still trying to make that airship idea work?&quot;<br /><br />Skye bounced on the balls of her feet, her excitement nearly overflowing. &quot;I&rsquo;m this close, Everest. I&rsquo;m talking this close to figuring out the perfect lifting gas! That&rsquo;s really the last hurdle.&rdquo; She waved her arms, her energy impossible to contain. &ldquo;Once I get that down, I can start building the frame!&quot; <br /><br />Everest&rsquo;s smile softened, but there was a playful glint in her eyes. &quot;If you get that figured out by tomorrow morning, we can apply for the patent while we&rsquo;re in town.&quot; She tapped Skye on the nose. &quot;That is, if we&rsquo;re not distracted by the big surprise.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Peg&#039;s Palace!&quot; Skye froze, her eyes wide. &ldquo;You haven&rsquo;t!&rdquo; she gasped, her tail suddenly still.<br /><br />Everest&rsquo;s grin widened, a knowing glint in her eyes as she stepped closer, placing her hands gently on Skye&rsquo;s hips. &ldquo;Maybe I have,&rdquo; she said with a wink. &ldquo;Can&rsquo;t have a birthday without a real party.&rdquo;<br /><br />Skye&rsquo;s heart skipped a beat. &quot;You&rsquo;re the best!&quot; she squealed, a shiver of excitement running through her. Before she could say anything more, the two leaned in, their lips meeting in a soft, sweet kiss that spoke volumes more than words ever could. The kiss deepened, and Everest closer her teeth around Skye&rsquo;s lower lip, and gave it a tender nibble. For a moment, the world seemed to slow around them, the waterwheel&rsquo;s groaning a background hum.<br /><br />When they pulled away, the husky&rsquo;s voice dropped to a teasing whisper. &ldquo;Hang onto that thought for later,&rdquo; she murmured, her breath warm against Skye&rsquo;s ear. Her hands found the cockapoo&rsquo;s rump, and gripped her cheeks through the silk skirt, &ldquo;We leave for Rainbow Ridge bright and early tomorrow. Then it&rsquo;s just a train ride to Marceline.&rdquo;<br /><br />Skye sighed dreamily, her arms still wrapped around Everest&rsquo;s neck. &ldquo;Can&rsquo;t wait,&rdquo; she cooed, her face flushed with happiness.<br /><br />&ldquo;Neither can I.&rdquo; Everest&rsquo;s grin grew, and she gave the golden furred woman a hearty smack on one of her buttocks. Skye let out a light bark, then leaned her forehead against the husky&rsquo;s, both of them lost in the shared excitement of what was to come. </em><br /><br />******<br /><br />I know....almost nothing about these characters. Other then some basic personalities. I don&#039;t watch this show, nor do I intend to. Just wanted to draw them after seeing some other artists have their take on the designs. I pulled this story outta my bum just to incorporate them more into this world. Maybe if the interest is there, I&#039;ll flesh their story out more. But it won&#039;t be anytime soon. I have way to many other stories to tell! </span>",
