Say Uncle Re:yiffed
Chapter 7: A hail to the conquering Hero
\tWell it was a cold morning once the sun decided to grace the world with its presence once more. Anthony and his collection were asleep still in the sheltered privacy of his wagon. The pot belly stove had long since gone out but the hot metal still radiated heat into the room. As the slumbering pile of wolves and sheep allowed the bliss of sleep to wrap them in its blanket. But Anthony was woken with the machinations of; well let's be honest. It most likely was the lambs, started to bear fruit. Anthony was pulled from the blissful stupor of his sleep by a nagging little sensation. After he was finally awake enough for the so very pleasant suckling on his cock finally registered in his neurons. At first his sleeping mind ignored it, just a good sensation his body very much enjoyed. Until it started feeling too good and could not be ignored any more. Anthony opened his eye with a soft groan. Well right off he knew what that feeling was. Looking down and sure enough. Someone had laid the little pup conveniently face first on his crotch; he refused to believe she had accidentally found herself there twice. And just as naturally the pup found her replacement 'bottle' and was dead set on drinking her milk from it. But even if the wolf who was starting to wake; had decided he wasn't gonna let this fly this time. Well he didn't have much of a choice even as he decided so. Even when she earned a little needy little whine from him.
\tAnnie was just shy laying on his right arm; holding his entire arm snug to her body like her personal hug pillow. Legs wrapped around it as well, drooling on his shoulder; and she somehow managed to be as heavy. As the twins who were as flush to each other as they could be; and just as lewdly sandwich his left arm between tits and cunts. Though to be fair he did underestimate the biological differences between the two different species; their fleece must have been what added a good amount of their body weight. Both twins held his left arm with tits wrapped around his arm and pussies, no doubt deliberately, placed on his hand itself. Without being able to throw them off and freeing his arms; the groggy good boy wolf was stuck for a moment. The adult side of his brain trying to find a reasonable way out without cracking heads in the process; as the pervert side was content to let it happen. More and more he began to loathe those words he used as a cub. The words he used to coach Annie and himself as a pup into playing their adult games. As more and more they kept returning to haunt him with the girls now under his care; Was his brother judging him from on high? Anthony promptly let his head roll back. 'son of a … fuck it. Why is it always so fucking hard to do the right thing?' He thought to himself. 'And why does it have to feel so good though? God I want to cum in her little mouth already. Maybe she'll keep going and I'll get to nut in her mouth? No no the fuck is wrong with me?! I shouldn't be thinking that, she's fucking six!'
\tFor now, like little choice was given to him as the mental conflict between the two sides had a cold war with each other. He allowed it to happen over giving everyone a very rude awakening. Though he did tell her he'd not do this to her, right now he hated to admit that cock nursing was quickly turning into a thing he could learn to enjoy; and easily too. Even if the adult side of his head was fighting to create an out for him. Whereas the other wanted to roll over and show his belly; and bust the world's fattest nut in that pup's little mouth. It felt great he couldn't lie and it was so tempting to just allow it to happen. But seeing as his cock was in a soft mouth that just felt too good; the rest of his mind shielded him from the persecution of his own thoughts. It wasn't his fault she was here after all; he was sure Jen was under his, wait what arm had she been under? But as Jenny's tiny tongue licked his shaft and her lips suckled his tip firmly, was not helping her case at all; and scattered the frame of mind he had been fighting to build. Making Anthony have to bite his lip as she was stimulating tender spots, his right leg wanting so badly to thump on the floor as cum coated her mouth. But it was not as hopeless as he first thought; Jenny woke up before she could get a cum shot. But she did have the boy whining softly as he was so dangerously close to going Krakatoa in her mouth.
\tFirst she yawned somehow ignoring the cock dripping on her tongue; to such a point she even licked it a few last times. Until that clicked tongue half way through licking him again, she opened her eyes; and saw her uncle trapped under naked bodies. Her on his crotch with his cock in her mouth dripping on her tongue. Giving a death glare at least mentally to the part of his brain that was disappointed. He gave her a nervous smile and as much of a wave as he could give her given his arrested arms. Jenny lifted herself up and rubbed her eyes; and much to the delight of her uncle moved away from his cock. He was rather grateful when his cock fell back onto his stomach; not something he would normally be thankful for. Parts of him were very disappointed to be removed from the young pup's soft mouth. “Oh, so glad I held out.” Anthony told her as softly as he could.
\tJenny snorted as she tried not to laugh. “Sorry.” She told him in a hushed whisper.
\t“Hey, no one can control what they do in their sleep sweetheart.” Anthony replied softly to her. However it seems his soft spoken response was rather unnecessary.
\tSeeing as the response from the girl to his right was an instantaneous. “Spoilsport.” As Annie opened her eyes. “I know all your sounds, you were so close too.”
\tThen, “For what it's worth I'm proud he was able to contain himself.” Arie promptly quipped. “A knight's willpower should always be like steel.”
\tThen her twin followed with, “But it would have been much hotter if we got to see you cumming in her little mouth. I wanted to see that little cutie gargling cum.”
\t
\tThat however pissed him off a little bit, and got Anthony to finally rip his arms from the three older girls. So fucking glad his brother couldn't had heard those words from his first born. “You three are the literal worst fucking influences. The lambs I expected this from; but really Ann? Thought you were supposed to protect your little sister not wish to see her with my cum on her tongue.” he quipped. Before he opted to grab up the little one and cuddle with her to his chest and back into the blankets. “No more of that period. I've already got you three barking up my poll. I'm not going to put my six year old niece on it too; damn it I do have some morals left!” He gave the pup a little squeeze; she herself then yawned again and was happy to settle into the cuddle. “Hell even Annie ain't that much younger then me; at least a six year spitting distance of each other. I'm going back to bed with my little cuddle buddy here; night.” Well Jenny didn't seem to mind once he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her snug to his chest. Seems she was more than eager to be cuddled back to sleep. Who needs the day when you have a warm bed and a warmer pillow to sleep next to?
\tBut, before he could even close his eyes. “You can't go back to sleep. Don't you have an entire caravan of people to be responsible for; Mr king without a kingdom. You did do this to yourself after all.” Annie was the one who had spoken then opened the curtains that hung on one of the window if for a few seconds to let the light shine in.
\tAnthony growled a little for a moment or two. “You had to be right huh? I couldn't get a few more winks huh?” Anthony was bellyaching this time. “Jenny; your sister's being mean to me. Make her be nice to your uncle.” The pup giggled as he cuddled her snug for a moment. Laying the upside of his head against the pup's chest then blowing a few raspberries on her belly. Making the pup explode into a fit of giggles. Arms and legs flailing as she struggled in vain to make the tickles stop.
\tBut after that one of the twins crawled over and up on top of him. “Well seeing as you can't go catch more winks; how about getting some pussy instead?” Arie cooed assuming the position in front of his sheathe; his tip was still poking out from Jenny's suckling. Having taken Jenny's place with a little bit of pushing and pirating of the space.
\tFirst off, frankly it made Annie smack the lamb's ass as it was in the air; hard enough to make the sheep bleat. It was bad enough that her uncle had other's. She would be damned if she would play second up on top of it. “Back the fuck up lamb chop.” Annie snapped as the lightly shocked lamb backed away for a moment; the pup even going as far as to bare fangs at her; even if she didn't realize it. “If I'm supposed to be the alpha female in this little harem idea you've crammed into my uncle's skull; I can live with that. I'm not dumb enough not to see a needed outlet when I see them; more so as I've seen first hand that it actually helps. I get first dibs though end of story. I had him first I get him first, so out of my way slut; I have a big bad uncle I need to be a really naughty niece for.” She cooed out as she then shoved the lamb out of her fucking spot. “And I'm getting it first. Oooh yeah I know what he is capable of first thing, I'm sure you do too.” Which promptly made the lamb move right out of her way with a smirk; she was the alpha. So first Annie lowered herself to his mouth and started with a kiss. Anthony's hand reaching over to and giving her ass a squeeze as she wrestled with his tongue for a little bit. “Morning Uncle A.” She had such a flirty tone as she said that. Which even though Anthony groaned with a little bit of disappointment; he hated that she was trying to make sense of it for him. And more so having to wake. But could he really complain; even given the pup who seemed disappointed she could not break his skin as she tried to give him a bite. Giving her ass another squeeze with the pup playing along for him and moaned sweetly for him.
More so once Annie lifted her leg and threw herself up onto his crotch; just the view of her up on top of him got a reaction from him. His cock in only a few seconds got hard enough to smack the pup's belly. “Good morning nursed on morning wood. Oh yess someone's happy to see me; yes he is such a good BIG boy.” She bit her lip a little when he throbbed for a moment and brought a bit of contact to her cunt. Her hands in the seconds after starting to rub on the cock that wasn't hard to tell it wanted into the pup sitting on him. “Don't you worry big boy, your pussy's cumming to make everything feel much better. It might have been literal years ago; and I may have been little.” Which was met by protest from a bashful wolf; mainly about how bad it made him look. She gave a little coo, however. Teasing her uncle with a finger. But then she snapped out suddenly and actually sank her fangs into his neck, well deep as she could. As she then with a little growl at him pushed his cock into her and sat her ass down on his crotch. “Oooh fuck BUT nothing beats this first thing. Oooh Uncle A you're so big. Been such a good boy for Jenny too; Not gonna let my guy start the day with blue balls at least.” She teased him as she rolled her hips around for him. “Ooh there you go big boy, yes yes I know your pussy missed you too.” Then she started riding, moaning for the wolf she was sitting on. Rolling her hips around and humping onto his cock. “Oooh no fair your cock knows my insides too well;” She then leaned down to rub her nose to his. “It knows where all my good spots are. Oh well I can't complain, I taught it my weak spots.” She gave a pause and gave his nose a lick; earning a hot and bothered growl from her uncle. “I want your dick to abuse all my good spots relentlessly. Want this big boy you got here to make me a mommy; and make us both feel very good doing it to me.”
\t
\t“OOOh I can't complain anymore.” Anthony groaned out as in the seconds after she started riding him. “So does my needy little niece need a creampie that badly?”
\tShe nodded moaning with a very happy smile for a few seconds before; not stopping the rocking of her hips and pussy up and down on his cock now buried where it belonged. “Yup yup, I would have had a morning breakfast date with a creampie caused bellyache for an hour ago; but I couldn't get around to it. Hope you don't mind fitting in me for a bit.” She gave a pause to giggle and rub her nose to his again. Adjusting to the girth she invited into her favorite spots. “I know you may need to give me a very hard time about it. But I'm a big girl. I can take my lumps and my humps; and let you put them all in my belly. You were the one who taught this naughty little pussy how wonderful sex feels. How just fucking good it feels to wrap my cunt around cock.” She cooed out once more to him with moans following. Allowing his cock to mercilessly bully her insides with his girth. “May have been your fetish first but I love having you fill me up like your personal slutty little balloon. Fuck it makes me feel so good.” She paused for a moment moaning as she felt the man fill out inside her, rolling her hips on him as she let that happen. “Hell got to make the best use of me before I go into heat that first time right? I mean after that then … well games on right? That's the moment I go fertile you can get me knocked up.” She cooed as she wrapped her arms around his head and kept riding his other one. "Right?"
Her tail wagging very happily as she fucked herself onto his cock. Allowing Anthony to continue waking up this time with a pussy jerking his cock. “But does it make me a pervert to tell you; that I look forward to letting that happen? Like really looking forward to just laying down and just letting you give me all your puppies?” The pup asked him with his arms wrapped around her. The pup moaned as she got up her long hard ride. “My body will feel soo hot; then you'll put more heat in me. Over and over again, until you make me a mommy. And me being just the worst girl on the planet and giving myself to you so you can do it to me. Burying my bone in my yard and letting it fill me like your slutty little balloon. Oh god I want it already.” She gave her head a shake which also got a chuckle from the man she was fucking. “Maybe my head is already fucked up but that's what I want. I want my uncle to just fucking breed me like well like you only have the right too.” She confessed to him then rubbing her nose to his. “Over and over again until I've had dozens of your puppies.”
\t“Ummmm; maybe to the rest of the world, but fuck the world. I’m done with their bullshit anyway. I'll break the nose of anyone dumb enough to stop you darling. And damn straight I'm going to put puppies in this belly. One day at least, sadly that day is not today. Today I just get to fuck my naughty little niece, and wear her pussy as my personal cock warmer.” Anthony groaned, reaching up to first boop her nose; and rubbing her stomach. Then to give her tit a pinch; getting the girl to gasp. “I could get used to waking up like this; and instantly burying my cock in one of my girls. But stop doing lewd things to Jen; all of you. It's making me feel … dirty. This doesn't happen again. The hell kind of pervert do you girls take me for?” But that made them all stop; The twins smirked as the blood relative pup sat in his lap; Still clapping her cheeks against his hips. Giving him a cheese eating grin as they watched the pup slide up and down on her uncle's cock. The wolf in question even now still humping her; and Annie just to rub it in leaned back and just moaned loudly as she laid back on him; still accepting his deep dicking. Letting their onlookers see his cock lump fucking itself around inside her belly; with hell sworn on anyone who made her stop. “S … shut up. At the very least even Ann is within spitting distance of my age. I mean, hell she's having to really try to hit me but it would be more possible then Jen trying; hell she is our age gap. For my own sanity please.” The wolf asked, which made Ann nod and the twins sigh but agree. Annie then getting back to her ride; after giving his nose a lick.
\tAnnie gave him a moan when his fingers caught and pinched one of her nipples again. “No promises; but I'll be better. I'll also do my best to protect my baby sis from the lewd sheep; and not be a what was it called a co somthin? But all the same it's kinda hot. I like seeing Jen with your dick in her mouth; I know it turns me on more than it should. I can't help how wet it makes me but i'll do my best to be better.” She cooed before moaning. The lot of them laying there and waking up. As Annie took her 'throne' and started encouraging him to just make the literal biggest mess in her; The look of hunger growing in the man was seen by his own efforts now stuffing himself into her.
Annie took her time riding her Uncle who well once more he was done complaining. Laid back and enjoyed his harem; more and more starting to sound too good to be true. As the pup riding him; squeezing his cock hard as she could. Moaning loudly for him as she filled her private space with her uncles cock; and begging it to blow in her. Riding him harder and faster, bouncing best she could. Her tail remained up and out of the way; well when it wasn’t trying to wag fast enough to kick up a dust devil, as her cunt almost refused to let him go. Surprising him with just how well she could grip him. “OoH Fuck, god I love humpy puppy; how long has it been since you let me crawl on top and just go gremlin mode on humping this good big boy of yours? Oh yes it is, only cock good enough to use my body as a toy; such a good big boy it is oh yes.”
\t“OOOOH you're so tight Ann. Always end up wearing you like a glove.” Anthony groaned, which was followed just as promptly telling him that she was his glove and his alone. By now the wet sounds of sex cried out as she took him deep and fast; this position was more her favorite. As they called it the humpy puppy position. Once little Annie learned that sex was the best thing ever, she would crawl on top of him and fuck him for hours. Letting him cum over and over as she just humped away until the horny little pup was too tired to hump; Anthony started looking forward to her zoomy moments. Was always when the getting was good. Enshrining his cock in her womb as she gave her all to make him cum. Spending almost literal hours fucking herself on her uncle's cock.
At first Anthony smacked her ass making Ann cry out softly. Before she found his knot flaring and promptly sat on it; just now moaning as loud as her lungs could as she pushed that fat lump of flesh where it belonged. Riding him harder, faster, squeezing him tight. Begging his knot to do her favorite thing in the world; Tying him to his little co conspirator. Then throwing her own head back she cried out as Anthony groaned, and his cock started doing its thing. Which she would be a dirty little liar if she told anyone it wasn't one of her favorite things in the world too. Never had she been the kind of girl to want a pullout but Anthony never bother to do so anyway; so really she learned it from him.
\t“OOOOH fuck. Here it cums, my favorite part.” Annie moaned out; then softly whining as his cock throbbed and pulsed and gave her sticky hot rope after sticky hot rope. Crying out aloud as his cock dumped into her; and she kept humping his dick to make it go on longer. “OOOh yeah here comes the belly ache. OOOOh fuck, mommy's back did you miss her big boy? Ooh fill my belly with that heat I love so much. No need for a pullout this slutty little balloon is dying for her cream filling.” She cooed out, laying back as the large cock out lining in her belly packed a tight ball of cum inside her womb. “Ooh so much warmer this morning; aww does little old me have you all hot and bothered uncle A?” She cooed in jest. Laying on his chest now, arms wrapping around his neck. And pussy squeezing and humping his dick much as she could. “You great big perv. Heh, like I'm even trying to stop it. Ooh keep cumming baby. That's right good boy; oooh fuck me, empty those balls in your naughty niece. This bad girl wants her creampie so bad.” Well as Anthony ran his hands into her fur, the pup would have killed anyone trying to get the cumming cock out of her.
Anthony groaned lightly as Annie even rolled her hips around to encourage the cock to give her more. But once he did stop cumming he was not limitless after all and his knot shrank. She was in no hurry to take him out; still humping him as she was, and jabbing him into all of her softest spots. Snapping her fangs at one of the twins; as she played jealous pup for a moment and hid the bone inside her front yard. The pup quickly drove herself headlong into orgasm two before she got off him. But Annie pulled up off him once she was good and ready and let her creampie ooze a short bit later. Only for his cock to once again be wrapped in pussy not but seconds after; and the man groaning out 'oh fuck'. “God I love this feeling. So full, so much cum. Uncle A always knows how to bully my body in all the right ways. Fuck my pussy is aching in all the right ways.” Was her last reply to the event before she was replaced with another.
\t“Such a lucky boy.” Arie cooed as she took him into her cunt now; moaning more for show as she helped him lodge himself inside her pussy. “God, always so much bigger. We tried sheep boys a few times but oh they just don't measure up to a wolf like Anthony.” And the cycle repeated. This time Anthony laying back and enjoying it. “Three pusses to fill with cock and cum; and lots of hot and bothered love literally before the day has even started. Want to stand against the harem now?” Even as she asked the slicking sound of her riding his cock was already crying out as she rode him with intent. “Well I suppose it could have been four; but our male has spoken.”
\t“Nope, and nope.” Anthony replied, slapping her left ass cheek. “Leave Jenny out of this, and get riding; that's both an order. I see two cunts that don't have wolf cum in them, yet.”
\t“Oh yes yes, we simply must fix that travesty; must give the man his fetish for playing with ours so often. Indeed there are two fresh lamb chops that need to be, oh so deeply, cream-filled with sticky wolf cum.” So now it was Arie's turn. Anthony was still laying down as he was pleasured further. Sally taking his balls into her mouth; which credit due she made the man loudly gasp and grip the bedding. She might not have had sharp teeth to cut meat with but she still could bite them pretty hard if she wanted. As her twin made his cock right at home into her cunt; which was stretched to its limits but that's what they loved about letting Anthony have them. He was always too big for them; not that it ever stopped the lambs from demanding a trip to pound town. Now the lamb working on getting fucked full of wolf cum; ensuring him he didn't need to do anything but lay back and enjoy. His cock left a very telling mound on the lambs belly as she worked him into one spot then another. Arie just humping herself as fast as she could as she gripped his cock like a vice; doing her best to use him to get herself off just as well. Riding him as the wolf and the lamb fucking herself on him; both moaned loudly. Even when the wolf groaned into climax, the lamb rode him hard even as he went off inside her. “Ooooh good boy but so fast Tony? Shame shame that's not normal. Ooooh well fuck me right good boy. OOOh turn me into cream stuffed loli lamb chop.” The lamb let her tongue loll out as she got stuffed with cum; before she stuffed herself with knot. “Fuck this has got to be the best feeling cock ever; or I might just be horrendously biased. Tony babe have I ever told you how badly I love the feeling of you fucking my pussy?”
Well she got a thumbs up from the pup who yelped when her sister poked her belly; which made Jenny giggle. “But at least I'll admit I slut around for the big bad wolf. So he'll fuck me like his little slut. I love letting this happen; ooh so much cum.” The twin paused to rub noses with the wolf still erupting inside her with a smile on his face; much to her own delight. “Good thing a wolf can't knock up a sheep huh? You'd have fucked a million pups into us by now; well provided we were any more fertile then Ann is. I'll admit your little creampie fetish may have become ours too; but no one else has ever made our bodies sing like you do. So more then a fair trade given how fucking good it feels to be taken by this blood thirsty wolf.” Then rolling her hips around as she rode his climax with a grin. “Oooh that's right, stuff me gooder daddy; Oh don't stop Tony baby. Oooh not the only one who could get used to this first thing; can't even feel my legs in all the best ways. Make me a creamfilled lambchop!”
Arie cooed looking down at the cock lump still shooting in her. Moaning and whining on the much larger cock erupting into her. “God bless extra large wolf cock; this has got to be what sheep pussy was intended for. That's right, fill me up and wear my slutty cunt like a cock warmer.” Well she kept rolling her hips for him as she waited for him to stop cumming. “Ooh big boy, such a good big boy. Such a good naughty boy that's right fill mama up. She's not going anywhere until you're done so keep cumming; oooh good boy.” But once it had run dry. She got up letting her pussy pop loudly when she squeezed him hard as she could; as she pulled his knot out. Though her knees instantly buckled and she wound up on her ass. “Fuck me just like that; I love being a slut for this big wolf cock. Legs; stop betraying me!” Well she was on her ass now cum running down it as her legs.exe had stopped responding; they were moaning just as hard as her cunt still was.
\t
\tThen the cycle repeated once again, this time Sally taking him in deep. But even if this was feeling like the, too much of a good thing. By now he flipped logic into the trash, this was the fucking best; no one could convince him otherwise. God himself could not descend from on high to convince him to stop or that this was bad. His cock was just too fucking sensitive after having cum so many times so quickly already; which only maybe the third and still fresh pussy feel so much better. The lamb now riding his cock had him moaning loudly; not caring the cock she was riding hard and squeezing like her life depended on it had a hair trigger now. Anthony rolled his head left to see Annie watching with a pie oozing out of her. She leaned forward to kiss him once she noticed him looking at his little masterpiece; and his thumb found and started bullying her little clit. Then the other lamb who was sitting with her legs spread wide still trying to get her legs to stop moaning like a busy whore and carry her body weight. Arie even opened her cunt up when his eyes fell on her. And let him see the pie he hard baked into her. It may have started his fetish but it seems he had taught all the younger girls to like it too; whether he wanted to do so or not. However next came a knocking on the door, and a male voice telling the head wolf good morning and that he was here to report on the night patrols but no one stopped; actually zero fucks were given. Arie leaning back to a window cloaked in curtains; legs still at ten and two and refusing to hold her up as her cunt made an artform of leaking his cum. Quickly popped the window to let the sounds mix. As Sally was just fucking moaning as she fucked herself hard and fast onto a cock nearly thrice her size. And just stabbing and cramming him into her favorite spots. And Anthony just plain groaned in bliss at the pleasure his cock was getting; one after another.
\t“Come back in five to ten minutes please.” Arie said so dismissively as her twin just loudly moaned no fucks given. “As you can tell Anthony is not done fucking all of us yet. Of which you are interrupting. The rest of the world can go to hell until we have finished pleasuring our male. He's got pussies to fill with cum before the rest of the world is important; so unless this is life or death.” So she shooed her hands toward the guardsmen. “Go on fuck off. His cock in our cunts is more important than whatever you have to say; unless it's 'we're under attack'.” First she flashed the bird then gave him another dismissive shoo hand gesture. Well it was one of their men after all; who was Anthony to tell them how to run their own army.
\tThe guard nodded and then left. Arie closing the window and curtains. Then laying back to watch her twin railing herself onto the wolf. Who moments after moaned once more and started to cum. Anthony actually whined this time; as the lamb did her best to wring his nuts dry. “OOOOh no.” Sally teased still fucking her twat tightly onto the cock now going Krakatoa in her womb. “The big bad wolf is filling my sheepy womb with cum; oooh whatever shall I do?” She asked as she accepted a hug from the wolf doing it to her. Anthony rutted himself around as he gave her well what was left. “OOOh there's just so much sticky wolf cum in my tight little sheepy pussy now; and I'm not doing anything to stop it. My proud herbivore pussy is being defiled by a powerful predator’s cock and cum!” She cupped her hands to her face in mock horror. “I'm shaming my people now aren't I Kyle? Allowing this monster wolf,” She paused to tease as she rubbed her nose to his. “To breed me like I'm his little bitch; which I totally am. Always so concerned with who's cock we allow to go off in us. Allowing this so very large wolf cock to fill my sheepy womb with cum. So much of it too, oh whatever shall I do.” She teased with a laugh, then laying down on his chest still humping the cock she wanted nothing more than to hose her insides with. “OOOH fucking the best; oooh just keep it cumming Tony baby. Might not have gotten it at first but your kink is growing on us Tony baby; and I welcome your cock to keep growing hard inside me.” She cooed, laying down on his chest for a moment. “So you just keep making these big deposits big boy. Naturally my legs are always open to accept more of such large deposits. No matter how rough I might have to take it to accept it. My sperm bank is always open to our big bad wolf; day or night in private or public; i don’t give a fuck I'll take it openly in a pub.I'd take my skirt off before I helped your cock to my cunt.” She gave a pur of sorts as Anthony rubbed her back, the tufts of wool on her head felt like clouds in his hand. Giving her ear a tug, and getting rather throaty bleat; rapidly proceeding the girls face lighting up like a sunrise. Even as he then tugged her into his arms, and still found himself winding down slowly. “OOOH yeah that right baste my lamb chop with your special sauce; oooh shit please and thank you. Got to love the after cuddles though.” She cooed as she kept rolling her hips around; driving wild the cock exploding in her. As Anthony grabbed her tight and refused to let her go. “ooooooo shit, If being a slut is wrong; then fuck the world I don't want to be right. Anthony baby; fuck, you always make my pussy sing.” The lamb cooed out to him as she dragged a finger through his pelt. “Oh fuck do you love this as much as I do at least?” She asked and got a nod in turn as Tony gave her another squeeze and played a bit of Jealous pup all his own. Not yet ready to let her pussy escape from his cock.
\tWell as the lamb let Anthony finish cumming hard in her; and just flat out having his way with her. Even if at first she played coy. That his fay massive knot was just way too fucking big. And that there would be no way little old her could possibly squeeze that fat massive knot out of her tiny little twat. She still nonetheless squeezed or more proper to say clenched down on his cock and knot tightly as she could; as she popped that thick knot back out. Moaning loudly when the large mass roughly made its way out to open air. The lamb promptly fell back on her ass as her creampie came leaking out as her knees and legs very swiftly gave out. Anthony, now panting softly, looked around. Not even awake for an hour and he saw three girls with pussies full of his cum. Leaking down their legs down their asses; with smirks on their faces. “Better then fucking coffee. Best morning ever.” He almost growled the words; almost sounding like a purr. Promptly grabbing all three of his girls and giving each other as good a kiss as he could give them. “This harem idea is official as of now; too many males would wish death on me if I told you girls I don't want it. Which is a lie, I'll never get tried of fucking your three brains out. After they're out I just need to fuck your brains too.”
\tHowever he could not spend all day fucking his little harem; even badly as he wanted too. He did still however find an excuse enough; well ok the girls gave him the excuse on a golden platter. To take another ooh hour and a half to give each one another hard dicking; and helped Jenny get off at least. With the wild animal the older girls had unleashed. It would have been unfair to expect her to not get turned on; and a far greater crime to leave her hanging. However he only used his hands, well at first. Jen herself got him to use his tongue after he started but it was a hard sell; that the older girls had to back her up on to get her some nibbles. Though to be fair she was playing dirty; learned one thing from the older girls. That psychological warfare worked well on him. Looked that man dead in the eyes with as horney a look as she could muster and asked him, 'he didn't want her learning how to masterbait yet, right?' The resulting gulp and look of conflict on his face told a story of its own. As moments later her little ankles were in the air as he buried his tongue into that little pup's cunt. Well that was how the morning put itself away. Then once all were satisfied And the devil on Anthony's shoulder got a bit bigger; then he told them to get ready for the day. So once he made himself decent and the girls got dressed? Well the pups still had fur that covered their bodies at least and Annie well ok she did clean herself out; and didn't mind given that they had something of a private little compound going on for their own privacy. The twins ate her out and cleaned up the pie that as their alpha female so demanded; what they had going, the general public didn't need to know. Though Anthony couldn't bring himself to admit; watching Annie girl boss the albeit slightly older girls around and manage to carry just a little authority; made him stiffer than a stone golem. The lambs just followed him out as is; only a small amount of their fleece had regrown yet. Even to the point they were still leaking cum down their legs when they exited the wagon as nude as the day they were born.
\t“Good morning my Lord.” The human man that had been waiting started with a salute; once Anthony finally exited his wagon. “Report from the night patrol. All was quiet sire, with nothing, of any note ... happening, not even passerby.” Even if as he told him this, Anthony saw the man's helmet following naked lamb ass; far more than half his age as they walked past him. Jaw left hung and twin asses and cunts were ogled. Making Anthony reach out to his helmet, hook a claw onto his visor; and pulled his gaze back to the wolf. Anthony idly quipped 'don't you have a wife and four children?' Which made the man panic and beg him not to tell his wife.
\t“Good.” Anthony told him back in the few seconds after; with a shake of his head. Even if the man couldn't take his eyes away from the naked twins still dripping with and smelling of sex and wolf cum. Though the pup was doing more to hide it; but a patch of sticky white on soft gray fur was an easy tell and hard to hide all the same even after she had the lambs clean her up; though she had crossed her legs and unknowingly let the sticky white patch be seen. “Make sure the night watch gets a hot meal and some wine before they get some sleep. And have the day watch captains report to me as soon as they are able as well.”
\t“Yes sir, thank you sire.” The man replied with a salute, Anthony then telling him 'dismissed'. Then turning and walking away. The child that was not too far away; hiding behind another wagon greeted him once he walked over to her. No doubt the man's child based off looks alone, but that was no issue to the wolf; though it seemed he was going to have to buy her off. To prevent her from telling mommy that he had been rather lecherous looking at girls only a small handful of years older than herself. But before long Anthony took a seat next to the fire near their wagons. Hue joined them not but a minute or two later, Amaranth holding a little basket of eggs on his shoulder. Having gone to get supplies to make some breakfast from the larder; and Amaranth had opted to gather Anthony's eggs for them. And as the start of the morning rolled into history; the pups joined Anthony next to his seat. The twins still brazenly naked and no fucks given levels of sticky wolf cum oozing down their thighs. Took some reports from their own men as well as someone who had rode in on a Grasstrider; A tall biped bird that had an almost verdant grass like green color feathers. They dolled out orders, and seriously didn't care about the state of or the smell of their bodies; or the white sticky substance running down their thighs. And it seems their people knew better than to ask or question; or tell. Must have been old hat by now and no doubt the girls made it worth their peoples while to go with the flow and not ask questions.
\tHue cooked them breakfast as the day got started; soon the smells of many cooking fires filled the camp with the lovely smells of breakfast. Once a few hours had passed and the inner circle of Anthony's nonexistent court had eaten and finally cleaned up and Anthony told the lambs to make themselves at least half decent. The wagon city was allowed a few hours to wake; and eat and get ready. Before Anthony ordered the caravan ready to move out. This time unlike the day before however, Anthony's wagon was now at the head of the train once they were back on the road. Annie once more drove their wagon as Anthony was mounted up on Stalyth. Once more with the day ahead of them; Anthony once more readied himself to play the leader he was still trying to learn to be. Fighting and winning a battle or even a war was not the same as being a good leader of people. Sure he could fight and win; but the perceptual loner still had much to learn about actually leading people.
Once he was assured Annie would be fine driving the wagon with Hue nearby to watch the girls for him; though the lambs were with them all the same too. So it's not like the pups would be alone; but it was nice to have a real adult watching them so the lambs wouldn't be able to get carried away; but it wasn't hard for the wolf to hear Jenny moaning seemed the lambs may have been playing a little game with her. Anthony then decided to make his own rounds. Not as much a patrol as to make sure he was seen by his people. Though first after he split from the group, he rode to Count Ardenlay's portion of the train. Not far from the twins' own wagon section. Even if the twins were in Anthony's wagon; fully intending to shack up with the wolves to stave off sleeping alone in a carriage by themselves; one of their little idiosyncrasies he learned of not so long ago. They hated sleeping in a building alone and that carriage for all intents counts as a building in which they would be alone. By that meaning they don't or can't count themselves. The first time they showed up on his door at the inn they were staying in at the very beginning of the twins training under their master. Was because they couldn't sleep because they didn't feel safe; so they shared a bed with a wolf of all creatures and slept rather soundly. In the arms of a wolf who frankly also slept well having someone softer then himself but frankly just having another warm body near his.
Though Anthony did eye their carriage far bigger than his own wagon; but Annie only just started to learn to drive a wagon and he was taking a liking to it. Dare he say that with the pups help the wagon even almost had a homey feeling to it. The carriage might have been too much for her for now; though they did have people for that now. That alone being a strange concept Anthony had to keep rattling around his head. Servants, he had never even had servants; but now he had an entire tribe of kobolds who had sworn their lives to him. Though for now they may have been in the twins' care so their people could bring their basic knowledge up to a slightly more modern level; he also asked them to help them break themselves of their little swearing habit.
\tFirst he was greeted by the man's guardsmen, riding in a formation around his carriage; much as you could expect from the nobility. “Greetings lord Anthony.” One man, Anthony, knew to be Henry Heltmen; he was the captain of the guard for the count. Now standing general for the newly formed family army.
\t“Greetings.” Anthony replied as he rode up to join the formation for a moment. “Is your lord awake or busy right now?” he asked the captain. He shook his head no, then promptly pointed him to another carriage just a few feet behind the one his family was sleeping and living out of.
\t“To my knowledge, he just finished a meeting with a recruitment agency representative in the rear carriage.” Henry told him once he joined parallel to Anthony. “Would you like for me to have you announced?”
\t“Yes please, at once.” Anthony told him. Even if he found them a bit moot, he still was well aware of courtly etiquette; Scott had seen to that personally. He was already going to have to deal with being a wolf in a kingdom starting to put hate on predators to get the commoners to look away from what the royalty didn't want them seeing. He wanted to make sure Anthony didn't accidentally bring more trouble down on himself; by acting like a country bumpkin or just some unlearned peasant. So Henry gave a quick whistle; one of his subordinates picked up his pace a step or two and quickly caught up.
\t“Go and announce his majesty's arrival to our lord.” Henry ordered the young man who promptly saluted.
\t“At once sir.” The lad replied with a salute. “If you would join me, sir.” He barely looked older than the twins; no doubt he had only joined recently. Anthony nodded then trotted behind the young lad once Anthony excused himself from the captain. Not that it took longer than but moments to get there. “Please forgive the intrusion milord,” the lad shouted once he gave a knock on the door. “His majesty Sir Grayclaw is here to see you sir.”
\t“Well let him in at once.” Sam replied from the inside, promptly unlocking the door from inside. Anthony quickly slung his left over Stalyth then stepped in once the carriage door opened for him to enter. “Good morning my lord, I hope the day has greeted you well.” Samuel gave him the pleasantries promptly offering the wolf a seat and first his hand which Anthony promptly shook.
\t
\t“Yeah, there was nothing I would change about it … well for the most part.” Anthony told him as he sat down; naturally he didn't need to know the details of how his day started. Or the four girls much younger then himself he had gotten off and got off all over of. “And your own morning? How is the family getting used to things?”
\t“Very well I must say, though we are not used to living on the road; the side effects of the pampered life of a noble sadly. But rest assured my wife and son are just as determined as I am to see this through; beg pardon sire. But my family wishes to rule over the vast swaths of land, in your name naturally. We'll get used to it I promise, you can count on me sire.” However before he went much further. He motioned his hand to his right where not far from the wolf sat a gentleman. “Please allow me to introduce Frank Jilp Valentine. He is a representative of a Far Away Recruitment Company; or the FARC for short. They help people hire more men when they need or want them. I do hope you don't mind sire. This has nothing to do with the shameful display I allowed myself to get swept up in with the Palemoon's. I do however not believe I have enough men for my army. So I am merely letting the word out that the Family Ardenlay is hiring any men who wish to serve in the army of a noble family; joining a knightly expedition as a vassal client state. That their families will be invited to join us as well; so long as a member of the family is joining the service, and the family wishes to join naturally. As you might guess it's not an offer most peasants would turn down given the likelihood all lives will be enriched. I dare say I'm expecting thrice the applicants then normal just do to the Knightly Expedition Stamp the flier will, by law, have to bare. To get to join an expedition to a new land; many peasants don't even have the right to leave their hometown, without their lord's blessings. This is a freedom many would kill for. And I merely ask for five years service to my banner. I'm sure to see all my ranks swell. Call it a polite middle finger to the nobles of this detestable country we flee. The more people we take with us the more power they lose.”
\t“I see.” Anthony started then offering the man a hand; which Frank quickly shook in turn. “So please, if you could, explain to me how your company operates and how it makes money.”
\t“I'd be honored too, that is what agents like myself do after all.” Frank started. His voice was rather soft, light, and smooth for a man his size. If he was standing he may have been five eleven and just scraping six feet and weight about two hundred and fifteen pounds, maybe. Though his age was showing in his graying hair. He still nonetheless sported a manicured beard and mustache, with the facial hair all just a graying. He had a tanned complexion and brown eyes; sure it was the standard you'd see from humans born in this region of the world. He was wearing a well tailored suit and just seemed to ooze etiquette and manners. Taking a sip of his tea before setting the cup and saucer down and wiping his face before speaking. “When someone like, let's make it easy and use the good count here as the example; comes to us. First a letter is sent to any of our offices. Which then dispatches someone like myself. I am but a humble go between no more and no less. I meet the client, you. You give me the details. Which manner of laborer you are looking to hire. How many and how much you are wanting to pay per head. As the count stated he's looking to acquire more men for his army; and to swell his ranks of craftsmen and other low born skills in the same stroke. And is willing to pay a price of twelve silvers per recruit; an admittedly small price given the likelihood of death in combat. But seeing as this is for a knightly expedition; with the free offer of allowing your family to join the counts ranks free of charge. An offer that in itself other nobles have charged for. If I may be frank sir; not many nations allow for the under classes to move about freely if at all. Even we had to argue terms and sign contracts ages ago so we agents could come and go freely. This here is a prime example of a golden opportunity, seldom the peasants and lower classes will pass up. It is an offer that frankly I've seen the middle and lower classes jump at even if it costs them to have their family be allowed to join.” His spiel was very practiced. As he used his hands as he spoke to help make his point. Then to start once more he placed his right hand on his chest. “Then I, to the best of my ability, give the client a ballpark estimate of how much it'll cost to make the hires and how long they would have to expect to wait for completion of the contract; but even that is all dependent on the whims of chance sadly. We cannot make people want to accept the job after all and we’re not slavers. The client makes a holding payment of half the price and we'll take the contract for which we will hold for up but not limited to five years; given if it is necessary to complete the contracted recruitment. Then we have our recruiters and criers go out to all hamlets, villages, towns, cities, and metropolises in the area's we operate in; which is across seven different nations on this continent alone. In fact our leaders are in negotiations with four nations from across two different oceans as we speak, so that we may operate and hire from their lands as well. Not only do they vocally make it known that person A is wanting to hire x number of whatever category they are looking for. Warriors, craftsmen, builders, miners, farmers, ranchers, vintners; hell we've even been hired to gather priests before. They will also post fliers for the contract in all inns, shops that'll allow the flier to be posted, taverns, churches; anywhere it is even remotely possible to find people looking for work, or a better life in cases like this. We'll find any hires you wish to make and make all the arrangements to get them to you or your money will be returned to you with our sincerest apologies. Once the contract is completed and your order delivered; your representative will then accept the final payment for the contract. Then your hires will be released to your care and custody. However i must make it known now that there are no refunds however. What we offer takes much time and man hours to achieve. So before we go in i want you to be aware that there are no refunds after i leave you the day you sign the deal. But rest assured it is my job to make you aware of all detail as i know them. So any contract you sign can be made with all information you could desire before hand.”
He finished his spiel and allowed Anthony to nod and think about it for a moment; taking another drink of his tea as he did. But once the wolf looked as though he had finished mulling it over he went on. “Would your grace wish to open an account with our company? That is also a task for one such as I. Surely a man such as yourself always has a need for new talent and man power.” He spoke then holding a finger from his left hand up to his nose. “And for a man of your future position; I would even be allowed to offer you a VIP contract with our company now. From what i see after inspecting the counts own belongings; i have judged that you do mean to follow through and become king. Royalty will always be allowed to buy a VIP. Which as the count would tell you is very exclusive; even he is ineligible for it even now I'm afraid. It would come with a messenger bird you could easily use to summon us at any time you need, or want to hire people and lead a representative such as myself to your location. Without needing to do anything but give a command to the bird. And a discount to all future contracts applied by your representative.”
\tAnthony thought about it for a moment. His hand cupping his chin. As the man in question took up his cup once more and took another sip. “Only for royalty or the uber wealthy then huh? Or A Knight Commander in the making. How much is this VIP contract?”
\t“Four platinum strips; a steep price I know. Why it is so exclusive.” Frank replied as he answered the question. “But it will include a twenty five percent discount, and will last for your entire life span. Our company would even allow your last will and testament to transfer the contract to any you wish to name it to for no charge; once. We will then honor your contract with the new holder to your terms; or terms they name for their life as well. But only once they too pass as we all do. Only then does the contract get finally invalidated; not a bad length of time given what it cost no? If you can not pay the full price now, we can even discuss term of a payment plan. And the messenger bird is professionally trained by our people and is yours at no cost and will always be replaced free of charge; should it unfortunately be necessary to do so. And wherever you are in the world will; so long as it is at all possible to get there. Will lead one of our people to you should you wish to speak to us at any given time for any reason no questions asked.”
\tAnthony gave it a thought, it wouldn't be a bad idea. He rattled the idea in his head for a few moments and allowed the man to have some more of his tea. So after having decided it wasn't a bad idea, in fact a good one. “I'm game; sounds like a good investment. And bonus I can even pay for it now.” Anthony told the man who nodded at him. As Anthony reached into his purse to fetch the four platinum strips; the man had gone into his own baggage. He had a few sheets of paper and set them on the small table before them. Then also, taking a quill and inkwell from his bag as well.
\tSo first after accepting Anthony's money the man then motioned his hand to the paperwork. “Not to worry, it requires a lot less writing than you might expect. The parchment, ink, and quill are all enchanted; they'll do the work for you. All I need you to do is to sign your name or apply your mark upon two lines there at the top most of the contract. One is just to put your name to the contract; that second line gives the enchantment your permission to fill in the necessary information on the contract for you; so long as it be true by your mind. And naturally you are well within your rights to read the contract before you sign it. And if you choose not I will simply give your money back with no hard feelings at all.” So Anthony did just that. Looking over this paperwork real quick. It was a standard contract even if the listings for the VIP part did its best to really try to sell the contract; even listed reinforcements as free of charge for life or death situations. All the same after giving it a once over, he didn't find anything he could really disagree with; and for the price seeing as he would get two life times of use out of it. So he took the quill, dipped it in the ink and signed his name to the first line which made the contract glow; never before had he ever spent so much coin on one transaction. Which promptly highlighted the next line as it formed on the page. Which stated this contract was now requesting his permission to fill in the information for him automatically then offered a line on which to place his name or mark. He signed his name to this line as well which, his name and the line it was written on faded into the paperwork following. Seconds after ink started forming on the papers filling out all the information the contract needed so long as it was true by Anthony's mind in his hand writing no less. The pen dipping itself into the ink then tapped on the pages that moved to be filled. “Ah splendid.” Frank sounded as he looked over the paperwork once it self itself down before him and the pen returned to where it had started. “It is filled out to perfection; alright allow me to give you this then.” The man quickly passed Anthony an ornate looking coin. “Once I process your contract into our archives and get you fully registered; a bird will be sent to you. The Coin is enchanted and will allow the bird to hone in on you the first time; after the coin will no longer be needed unless something should happen to your bird. So after the bird has bound itself to you merely put the coin in his or her backpack; and the bird will return the coin to us for repeat use. And should such a tragedy occur and you be without a coin or bird,” He then handed Anthony a small sheet of parchment. “This is a simple summoning circle. Set it on the ground giving it any mana pearl and give the command Summon Locator Coin. The sheet will glow then deposit a new coin for you, that a new bird will hone in to you with. The sheet can be replaced naturally free of charge if it is lost by making a request through the bird itself; or by sending a letter to any of our offices should that be the very reason you need any of the two parts of the former.” Anthony nodded after making sure everything was to standard; he promptly tucked all the paperwork into his bag. “Is there anything else the company can do for you sir? Now that sir is a VIP contractor I'd be honored to help you in any way I can.”
\tAnthony did think about it for a moment; and well couldn't hurt could it. Dwarves after all were all kinds of handy, not just for the natural talents at working metal. Their food was always delicious and booze was always top notch. Not to mention they were a hell of a group to have on your side in a fight. Though it didn't hurt at all that dwarven smiths were the only ones who could ever make something worthwhile out of dragon hide and scales. “Yeah, actually I've got an interest in recruiting dwarves.” The man replied with a quick 'I see' and started jotting down notes from a roll of parchment from his bag. “I'm interested in dwarven weapons and armor smiths to be precise; but I'm not exactly rolling in all the talent I need to forge an entire nation so all craftsmen are welcomed; even if I do have a great head start.” He quipped motioning to Sam who put his hand to his chest and gave a shallow bow. “To that extent, also make the flier aware that a member of the Honeydew clan already works for me. And that the Honeydew clan would be welcomed with open arms; no on top of that all dwarves would be welcomed with open arms regardless of clan.”
\t“I see, I see, yes by all means dwarves value their clan as much as they value their booze and craft.” Frank replied as he marked more on his notepad. “You do have good taste sir might I add. If there is one thing a king to be would need. It is skilled smiths and dwarven arms and armor is the best as they come. Through credit where it is due; I have met a few Elvin smiths who could give the dwarves a fair run for their money. And even human smiths aren’t so bad.”
\tHe took a moment to jot down, “As money per head; I'm not sure what the going rate is, how does twelve bits per head sound?”
\t“Twelve bits is a very generous payment for smiths truth be told; I would advise eight bits ahead though sir. Lesser craftsmen of similar skills were just hired by another member of the nobility for five bits a head. If you wanted to get your hands on dwarven smiths however you would need to beat the five a head; so I'd advise eight or nine to save sir a little more money on top of the discount that I will apply before I give you an estimate.”
\t“As far as how many goes; I'm also not sure, not sure I want a hard limit.” Anthony quipped as he thought more on it; once more cupping a hand to his lower jaw. “I know It'd take more then a few to make enough arms and armor for my entire army; and I'd also like to add families are free to join as well provided that at least one person from the family unit is applying as a craftsman of some fashion. But for the payment I'll go with your higher suggestion of nine bits a head; don't want people to see me as a cheap-ass.”
\tFrank nodded along jotting down notes as he listened to every word he said. So he tallied up the price as it stood so far. “Alright with the information you have provided me on what you are seeking. But with no cap the price will rise or fall depending on interested parties. My current ballpark estimate I can give you will be thirty platinum coins, with sixty gold as well. The company would require a holding payment of twelve platinum coins and thirty gold coins; with the full price upon completion of the contract, again depending on how many we are able to get for you. For that price the company will agree to hold your contract for over five years as per standard practice. Until a minimum of five hundred persons at least are gathered or you are satisfied with the number of your new recruits gathered; which you will get frequent updates via your bird.”
\t“That sounds fair, hell I won't have to run all over creation doing this myself now too.” Anthony told him; then counting the next payment out. Once the money was counted then exchanged.
\t“That is why agencies like ours have done so well. Royalty, nobility, merchants, or even simple and humble landowners. Not many people have time to run their lives, their livelihoods, their households, and their families and at the same time run around hiring people; we don't have enough hours in the day sadly. Alright sir, I will need but one more signature from you and I will get your contract out into the world.” Frank told Anthony then set down one more paper before him. But it was just a statement that he is entering the contract of his own freewill and knowing that time will be needed to complete the contract. And that this signature will be displayed on the fliers to allow interested parties to know the offer is legitimate as per the signed party's name.
\tSo Anthony signed his name to it and the man then tucked it away for safekeeping in his baggage. “So are we done then?” he asked the man in his suit.
\t“That we are sir unless you have another contract you'd like to put out.” Frank told him. “Which by all means I am more than willing to handle for you.”
\t“Nah we're good.” Anthony told him in turn. “For now, after we see how this goes; I may make more requests of your company later on.”
\tFrank gave a nod then after making sure to put all the paperwork safely away in his bag. “Splendid sir, naturally we'd be honored to hear from you again. So once I excuse myself today I will make sure to file your new VIP contract into our archives and get your requirement request processed and out into the world as well. You will receive a notice with your bird that the contract is now valid and we will be actively looking for talent in your name to your specifications.”
\tOnce that was settled and Anthony well he didn't need to intrude for anything else. After making sure there was nothing that the Count himself needed; Anthony excused himself to let the two men finish their meeting. Once more on his horse and outside. Anthony made his rounds, went on something of a patrol himself. Organized the patrols with his troops between his Kobolds, and the twins and the counts men as well. However, once noon started heading to its place in the sky; Anthony had one plan he had to see too before they went any farther. This was his last chance to deal with the dragon. After today he would pull away from those mountains and never see them again. So rather than moving on for the rest of the day. Anthony had the city set up shop for the day; stake down the Wagon City and allow for something of a half day off from travel. So once all that was done and a suitable spot for the city found and then to set down for the day. Also stating any hunters should be encouraged to hunt. Take meat for their families or they could sell it to the sheep at the Larder wagons for coin in Anthony’s name. And that merchants should be encouraged to trade.
Anthony was sitting outside his tiny wagon's reinforced compound at this point now. Mainly composed of his, Hue's, and several of the lamb's wagons and carriages, set up in such a way only two entrances to the space were left. He was relaxing and eating before he would need to get serious. And the now much much larger herd of horses were let loose to graze and rest as well.
\t“So Uncle A,” Annie started eating something as she sat next to him; not so shyly leaning on his arm. “What is the deal with staking the city down for the day? Don't we have a long way to go before we reach the Fang Territories?”
\t“Scott asked one last task of me before I left; that I was the only one strong enough to deal with it that wouldn't need an army at his back.” Anthony told her in turn.
\t“OOH, what's that?” Annie asked in turn.
\t“Daddy was here? When where?” The twins promptly asked in tandem.
\tAnthony however suddenly disliked the idea of telling them he was about to go fight a full blown dragon; they'd never let him go handle it alone. And there was already no way he was going to be able to fight one while trying to protect someone at the same time; he had to take it on alone. Still he would need at least one body, one body he could trust more than life itself. “It's nothing too serious. Just a goblin horde in the mountains over there. But we'll never see them again after today; so it's the last chance to deal with them. He asked me to put that nest to the sword and be done with it. Ann, you want to come as my second?”
\t“Wait what?” The twins shouted almost insulted. “But we're your fellow squires, why not take one of us?”
\t“Because she's gonna be mine one day; and this is a milk run so I wanna teach her a few things in advance.” Anthony told them in turn. 'in truth I can't bring the lambs with me. Their magic would make them too noticeable; at least with Annie I'll be able to hide her from the beast with magic. But for this trick to work I will need a second to help bear the load.'
\t“Uh sure, sounds like fun; in a terrifying way. Uhh,” Annie then started looking back at the twins. “How many are a horde of goblins?”
\tThe twins shrugged their shoulders as if it was no big deal as they told her; “About twelve thousand or so give or take a few hundred. They breed fast but goblins are still goblins; scary for normal people maybe in large numbers. No big deal for us Knights or squires who are trained to deal with far worse.”
\t“..... Right.” Annie gave a sigh then looked back at him. “Alright. I'll tag along if you actually want me to.”
\tEven as she gave him a smile; Anthony started getting himself ready. After eating and getting his gear on and sorted; and ensuring Annie was wearing her own new armor properly. Even if it was just a breastplate with a chain shirt under it. With protective leather boots and gloves with inscribed metal plates, and a skirt also reinforced with enchanted plates; A certain nervous uncle may have gotten carried away and let his worry wart show. Once he was ready armor, weapons, and gear on him, once he threw himself up onto his horse; he then offered a hand to Annie. She took it and allowed the man to pull her up with him, Though she was not to shy about the smile she gave when he all but set her in his lap. “Alright this should be a nothing task for me.” He told the lambs who nodded. “I'm leaving you two in charge for the time being; don't burn my wagon city down. Just getting used to the idea that I currently have a moving fucking city already. And do encourage hunting, gathering, and trading. Our food stocks won't fill themselves on the road.” Anthony told them getting a salute in turn. Then giving the reins a light snap. “Now my friend; show these people the true meaning of haste. Ride and ride hard and don't look back.” Stalyth nodded, then reared up for a few seconds letting out a neigh as he almost seemed to be limbering up if showing off at the same time. Then boom once his feet were on the ground the horse just took off like a rocket. Annie cooed in delight once the wind was whipping their fur and tails about.
\t“I never knew he was so fast!” Annie cried out in joy. “This is awesome!” Well with his riders set the pair and the horse they rode and made way to the mountain; and it did take some time even with how fast the horse was proving he was. Took about two and a half and almost three hours of riding to get there. Annie got to have a little fun trying to feed her uncle on the fly; though one could wonder why she started to enjoy the bumpy ride. Once the burden of maintaining this travel magic he informed her about. It seemed hard on a rider with an empty stomach. When she quipped he had eaten; she enjoyed how sheepish he suddenly got about it. She knew damn well where all that energy went too.
~Some time later~
\tAnnie looked around for a few moments taking in the sights of the mountain and the forest leading up to it. “Wow this place looks cool.” However she paused to make good use of that nose of hers. “But are you sure this is the right place? Mom told me once that goblin nests always smell foul; and I should avoid any place that smells really bad. As it might be a goblin nest. But I don't smell anything aside from how nice this forest is and how clean the air is here.”
\t“That's because I'm not here to deal with goblins; that was just the story I gave everyone to get them off my tail and let me go alone. I couldn't bring the lambs into this; too green. And Hue's not made out for it; powerful may his healing be. I'm not going to let my best friend be savaged by a monster because it'll take him a lot longer to die.” He gave a pause and let out a rather heavy sigh once the horse came to a stop and the two hopped off.
“Sweetheart from here on out; I'm going to trust you with a lot of stuff ok.” Anthony turned and looked at her. “From here on out, anything you see, hear, read, or witness; I need to go with you to the grave. You tell no one I've done this till I make it official; even then you act as if its new. Swear it to me.”
\t“What's all this about? I swear ok?” Annie then took his hand and asked. “Come on Uncle A you really think I'd turn on you? It can't be that bad.”
\t“That depends, I guess on what you can take.” Anthony told her, which made the pup take a step back. “If … if I was to tell you something about myself … that only three other beings on this planet know of; the third being Sinner. Would you be not only willing to take that to the grave with you; would you still be willing to accept me? After I told you and be number four? After you've seen what I can do when I stop crippling myself. Because I don't want to be a monster even if the boot fits.”
\t“I'm starting to not like this Uncle A.” Annie promptly took his hand again. He kept pulling them away so she had to keep going after them. “Ok if you're not here to fight goblins what are you here for? You said something about a monster savaging your best friend.”
\tSo he shook his head and Anthony promptly told her, “A dragon; and a powerful one at that. Scott claims it took up roost in the range within the last two months.” But that made the color fade from her eyes and face as fear filled them. “But it seems he's getting ready to throw his weight around.”
\t“You're not joking are you?” Annie asked which, made her look around with her ears almost in panic mode on alert. Anthony gave her a shake in turn. “You … didn't come here to die did you? And you wanted me to go out with you? Or something crazy like that?”
\t“No, I came here fully intending to win. This is no blaze of glory suicide run. I can handle that lizard; even if I don't like having to use this power. At least I'm getting close to making it something I can stomach.” Anthony told her as now he started tapping on things with his hands; things the girl could not see. “Do you think you can keep all the secrets I keep with me? Could you continue to want to be with me; if I told you something about me that scared the hell out of you?”
\tAnnie was quiet for a moment; thought it over. Then she gave him a nod, “I can swear I will try and that I won't judge you. I Love you Uncle A. If I didn't I would have gone to my parents with this when I was a pup. The first time you ever risked copping a feel; I would have tattled to mom and dad. Contrary to popular belief I did and still do know the difference between right and wrong.” So first he took in a ragged breath and sat down on a very convenient stump. Annie took his hands as he fought with his own words. His eyes darted to and away from hers, as he obviously was debating something in his head. “Come on, it can't be that bad could it? Your hands are shaking, and you're clearly in your head. I mean seriously it's not like you're worse than a dragon.”
\t“Oh, but I am; I've just gotten real good at lying about it.” Anthony finally managed to tell her. “Sweetheart.” Finally he started. Cupping his hands to hers; still shaking like a leaf in the wind. “I'm … a full blown disaster level Demon Lord sweetheart. I am not only a monster of myths and legends; most of the planet would categorize me as a nightmare class monster, rank S++; they'd not let any but summoned holy heroes battle me. Well without resorting to legions of cannon fodder sent to their deaths; again.” She gave a nod more than just a little washed in the impact of that little bombshell. “If it was to be made public, that not only what I am was to be made to come to light. But that my Master took in a Demon Lord to try and pass a Nightmare off as a knight; they'd hang us both. The Black Knights would be excised and exiled by the other orders; they would even put the twins to the sword for our Master's treachery. A crime they know zero of.”
\t“You're not joking are you?” Annie asked in turn cupping her hands to his. As they shook and trembled fearing her reply. “Uh I mean, wow. I wasn't expecting that.” Her ears promptly sank behind her head as she started doing a bit of her own thinking.
\t“Have you ever heard of them love?” Anthony asked in turn.
\tShe nodded and told him. “Yeah mama told me about them when I was little; i loved mom's stories. So i always loved poking my snout into her books to have something to ask her about. Said the last demon lord to walk the face of the planet nearly conquered two thirds of it. That nations from all over the world sent their fleets and armies to battle him to the end. What was the number mama told me it was? Uh twelve point five million dead?”
\t“No much worse, the exact number that man killed was;” Anthony started then giving her the number of. “Four hundred and eighty seven trillion, nine hundred and forty four million; gets worse not done. Seven hundred and ninety nine thousand, four hundred and one. He spilled enough blood to paint this planet in it. And it took the might of the entire planet to take him out; and he took several gods down with him.” Well the staggeringly high number the man just rolled off to her and silenced the pup; the fact he killed gods did not but help her jaw apply for its rental papers on the floor. “I, I didn't seek this power out; I swear on my life that it was forced on me. Just like Sinner was forced on me. I don't even remember why this happened.” The fear she saw in his eyes comforted her a little even if what he had admitted had floored her. “My life seems to continue to be a chain of tragic events; I must be the man with the worst luck in the world. Well at least I have you.”
\t“Blood Mouth Pass?” Annie asked in turn, after a few moments of quiet herself. I mean what else could it have been?
\tAnthony cupped his hands together; nodded his head. “Yeah; it was how I survived Blood Mouth Pass, and I also lied to you about that; I told John to fudge the numbers but that damned snowman of a bard wrote the truth anyway.” He gave a deep sigh, Annie giving a little white as she saw this haunted look grow over his eyes. “You'd think after nearly three weeks of driving snow and torrential blizzards; with very little in the way of supplies and no backup at all, and zero sleep. No one even knew the pass had been abandoned; that I was the only one holding it. What was I to do, run and get help? No one else was willing to hold that fucking fort; it was trusted to a foreign noble. Who quietly quit the field with all his men. Because the local lord had apparently insulted him or his father or something petty like that. You would think I would have given up and fled. Said to hell with these humans let the demons do their worst. What have humans ever done for me but fear me for having fangs and claws. But I stubbornly held my ground and dug in my heels; and put myself between a horde of demons and their cultists and a city homing millions. Because I was fucking better than them; and they're welcome and come say to my face I'm not. I don't think I need to tell you what would have happened had I fallen or fled that day; had that hospital and the city beyond it fallen to them. Sure glad those entitled humans had a happy fucking holiday free from rape and genocide. But for four straight fucking weeks I fought day and fucking night against a tireless fucking foe; that care not for their own losses. They just wanted to hurt people; the demons and cultists both! They just kept fucking coming no matter how many i fucking cut down; it was a meat grinder they ran dick first into!”
\t“I can't guess it would be good. I mean that worm is the only thing I can judge by but I don't like bugs anymore.” Annie told him in turn, bashfully glancing away. Now on her knees with her hands on his trying to look him in the eyes; but he kept looking away. “How powerful are you Uncle A? As straight as you can, just tell me.”
\tAnthony first sighed; Annie tried to help steady his shaking hands. “Scott, sent me and me alone, to slay a full grown dragon, pup. A dragon that demanded the lives of a thousand children and cubs for a thousand days of peace. Fully intending to use the coming conflict between Scott and his allies against the Plague Lords remaining allies in the kingdom. To squeeze as much as it can get out of them. Then feast on their cities, and their gold, and their children, and their lives.” Anthony told her, which did bring real horror to her eyes. There was some very real fire burning in his eyes right now. His own words had gotten him worked up enough to let a little bit slip out. “That demon lord for all his kill count … has nothing on me; he was a cheap parlor trick. He was an, for all accounts, honest to god, accident. The only thing holding me down is that I'm trying to compete with actual fucking monsters; ones that exist out here with you and me, and the ones in my fucking head.” He gave a deep sigh once more; at least it felt good to be able to vent. “Do you want to know why I let myself fall into this relationship with the lambs? It was the only fucking thing I could do to sleep; without having to overuse and depend on Hue's drugs. Having those two in my bed; was all that let me sleep at night; even if I don't know why. No it wasn't just the sex; maybe it was the companionship? Maybe i just missed you, i always ended up waking being snuggled; so often in fact your mother gave up on your crib. Cursed herself for having an escape artist for a daughter and begged me to keep you safe in this bed with no sides on it. Compared to the devastation I can wreak when I lose control it comforted me to such an extent that i wasn't alone when my eye closed. And I've had to try so long and hard to hide it and my true strength; to tempur my temper.” He gave a pause as the pup gave him a hug. As tears fell from his eyes. Even if he continued on with, “I've even had to seek out Game Masters to get what I need to hide it from the world. Hell Scott even taught me how to hide it from his wife and other Magistar level mages; and he tells that woman everything. I am the single black mark on that man's shirt; but it's what taught me that. Fuck, this must be what it feels like to have a father. A damn shame mine never got to give me any I'd remember; not that any of us had a choice.” She nodded still cupping her hands to his, trying to comfort him anyway she could. He paused and took a breath Ann, giving him a hug to show moral support. “After four tireless weeks in Blood Mouth Pass;” He paused for a moment, his mouth hung open like the words were attached to his lower lip, tears rolling down his face as his hands were now clasped in his lap. “I died. Did you know that if you sleep deprive someone long enough it will actually kill them?” He gave a pause and snapped his fingers on his right hand, “Snuffing them out like a torch in a bucket of cold water. After I had the honor of finding that out and dying where I stood;” He paused again, but this time it was in a good way. Even his tone picked back up. “I heard a voice. It belonged to a female, that's all I could tell you about it; but it was beautiful.” Anthony told her and Annie nodded. Then he held out the halo. “And it led me to this; that voice, that heavenly voice that cried out to me. In my darkest hour when my brain could literally not function any longer.” He dug his nail into his head as he did this part; making the girl try to pull his claw out of his flesh. “A voice cried out 'I still Believe in you.' And that was the moment I changed. I came back from the abyss; but I came back strong. Even if it was against my will. Even if it was at the cost of my very soul.”
\t“An Angel helped you become a demon lord?” Annie asked, still trying to put these pieces in place. “That doesn't make any sense to me. Why would an angel make a demon lord? One more powerful than the last demon lord the world saw? And you say he was just an accident?”
\t“Because sometimes you need to fight fire with fire. And it seems this angel is a tad bit reckless; must have felt I could have taken it. But I've seen first hand the fires I need to contend with.” Anthony told her. “Make no mistake about it, I hate it. But If she did not do what she did for me that night whatever it was however. I would have died in the snows of blood mouth pass; and that hospital and the city beyond it would have been butchered. And you two would be alone in this world now in an orphanage with or without your sister. And that was only if you didn't land in the orphanage of a man who was very handsy. With no one in the world to care he was giving you some very unwanted petting.”
\t“Guess I owe her thanks then.” Annie told him. But she could see the fear starting to fill his face. So she fussed with his hands for a moment, she wanted in, but he was keeping her out; until she managed to get into his arms and hugged him. “I can live with a demon lord for an uncle; if the words you need to hear from me are that important. Then I don't care what you are; I care who you are.” She gave a pause when the first drop hit the back of her head. How his trembling hands cradled her closer to him. “And I care who you are, not what the world forced you to become; I care about what's in your heart, not the scars life has left on it.” She then pushed a kiss to his lips and cupped her hands to his face this time. “Whatever you need me to do, I'll do it. You've already had to handle so much by yourself; I want to help in any way I can. I'm sure my dad would be telling me to help you out because he can't be here to hold you right now.” She paused, gave a smile and shed a few tears of her own. “The rest of the world and their opinions be damned; they can all go to hell if it came to you or them. And if anyone ever calls you a monster before me I'll kill them myself!” Anthony after a few moments wrapped her in a hug. And as he did she pretended not to notice the tears going down his face, falling onto her head; or how tightly he seemed to be holding her now. Or how deeply it was that he needed to hear these words. Maybe it was this moment of weakness he just wanted acceptance.

~She who made The Demon Lord Weep~
\t“If you mean it; then I need you to kneel. Because I need to anoint you.” Anthony told her; then he stood up and drew his own sword. “And you will tell no one of this ever and for no reason at all; not your sister, not the twins, not Hue or Ammy, not Count Ardenlay, and not my Master. You tell not a single soul what I do here today. This is a violation of every oath I swore to my master and the knightly orders. I have not earned what I am taking; but in a world like this where actual monsters do exist, it seems you don't get to be a good guy. Normally it's not possible for a squire like me to do this; you need a base of power in which to claim a squire. But me being what I am is a oh so very special case. As a demon lord I do actually have the power to do this, it was only the vows that held me back. Because I told them I would not even if they did not know I could.” Annie nodded then knelt down, she was actually jittering, she was very excited. “Thank you Ann. By my own right; vested in my own power.” He started first holding his blade before him. He and his sword taking on a black outline glow. “From this day forth I dub thee, Lady Grayclaw, Squire of Sir Anthony of Blackroot. Crash down now and rise up again.” Anthony told her then tapping one shoulder with his sword. By the time he tapped the other a black cloak formed down her back. And upon her face a small black tile mask formed square by square until it formed one mask over her face then it vanished. Annie suddenly found herself falling forward as her eyesight blurred harshly until she could see things; next to her hands in the dirt. In her field of view, she could see bars and windows. Boxes with strange words written in them. They were everywhere but taking the mask off her face she lost the ability to see it. Then putting it back on the pup pushed herself back to her butt as she started looking.
~Notice system setting up~
~Notice welcome Master~
\t“Whoa, this is cool.” Annie quipped quickly. “Do you see all this stuff too?”
\t“I do.” Anthony told her. “Though mine is no doubt a lot more full. You do still have to learn stuff to add it to your menus. But from now on there is a lot I can teach you. And a lot more that is forbidden; I'll make that jerk regret forcing that eye on me.”
\t“Wait what's that!?!?” She asked him then pointing to a strange flow of color in the air; she could only see with the mask on. “It looks so pretty and colorful.”
\t“Guess you are a caster then. That is mana as it flows through the aura in the air around us; Menu ding.” Anthony told her, after twirling his finger in the air then pointing at her. Which then she noted a new little listing, which popped up with a little ding notice chime. Information about auras, mana, and its natural state and flow. However she didn't expect his next words to carry a fear filled worry on them. “Just be warned, once you look back at me now. I won't look the same now.” She gave a nod then looked back at him and was shocked at first. There seemed to be a human sitting where he was but moments ago. And noting that the amount of mana that seemed to be flowing from and out of him was truly staggering, it made her nauseous looking at him. It was almost like he was a wound that just spilled mana; it tried to turn her stomach but even for a girl she managed to stomach it well. It made the pup scream and fumble backwards a few paces, falling on her backside and pushing herself away farther. Her fear was irrational even if she did know it. She could still tell it was him; his scent was still the same. But the man before her was one thousand percent a human, and he had an overwhelming dread over him that made her wish to flee; if only her legs could move. Well if you ignored the twelve inch long porcelain white horns that grew from his head. And the Wings he had on his back that were nearly triple his own arm span. But even as the pup cowered before him; unable to even move or breathe. Anthony still sat there and waited. Hands clasped together with his chin resting on them. “Keep trying sweetheart; you're special, just like me.”
However this was not the voice she loved. In fact everything about this voice made her skin crawl. Somehow this both was and wasn’t the man she loved; Both and yet not. That was the point that seemed to be making her brain very much hurt. Like thorns were growing physically into her graymatter. Each word hurt almost as bad as the effect she was under. “What you are locked in right now is known as Paranormal Terror level five. It bewilders and bashes the mind with just a fuck off level of raw mana; soo much harsher on mages. I can't turn it off even if I wanted too, its hard coded. So I need you to break out of this hold I have on your mind; even if I know it's a tall order to give.” Anthony then clasped his hands together. “So keep trying until you can speak again, love. We're not going anywhere until you succeed so take your time.” He sat there simply, hands folded together. Waiting for the pup to break the hold; but it took some great length of time.
~Notice~
Though to be fair she should not have been able to break it at all; full stop.
\tBut, about an hour later finally saw the pup fall forward and take a sharp breath in. But then she was able to look up at him once again. But this time she saw the wolf once more. “Very good job love; gonna be honest you are the first person who's seen my demon lord form and broken the hold of Paranormal Terror level five. He didn’t come after you though, and I'm afraid of what his willingly playing along means. Even my master had to use magic to shield himself from it. But you just brute forced it; actually impressed, good girl.” He told her this with a rather wicked little smile; it seemed he was not as back to normal as he seemed. However Anthony was able to remain the monkey on top of the pile, for now.
\t“That was intense. I've never been so scared in my life. I nearly wet myself. I could hardly breathe.” Annie told him. “Couldn't even believe the man before me was still you. But he still smelled like you, I think that might have helped.”
\t“But how are you now? More importantly, how am I to you now?” Anthony asked. He seemed to be truly unsure how she was seeing him.
\t“You look normal to me again; you're a wolf again.” Annie told him. Which made him whistle. “You still have those horns and wings though.”
\t“Wait, you mean you are actually strong enough to see my actual true form in this state? Not the demon lord or the other personas?” Anthony asked to which she nodded. “Again actually impressed dear. Seems you do have a lot of potential, maybe even more than me. That's a frustrating discovery to find. Became a knight to protect her; she's better at it then you.” Now Anthony stood up. “Alright, we're ready for the next step. Sinner, look alive this is going to take you too.”
\t“Yeah yeah.” Sinner barked, softly the slime collecting and rolling from the back of his hood. “So what is this next step that you need me and that wretched halo for? I'm hurt that I’m not enough power for you.”
\t“Well you'll be happy to know I probed this event already with the Eye of Twilight.” Anthony said as he held the slime now forming in his palm. “It seems my first attempt to do this failed; and the world had to be restored back to when we woke this morning. Otiv does seem to need me alive; because my first attempt killed us. First Sinner died,”
\t“Wait what?!?” Sinner promptly shouted.
\t“Then shortly after I died with you.” Anthony told him following. “Calm down big baby.”
\t“Oh, well then that's better.” The Slime replied in turn.
\t“I had gone alone and tried to use the halo myself. It killed you doing so, then losing you killed off half of my brain.” Anthony told them. “I lasted maybe five minutes; long enough to get Otiv's attention at least. I died shortly after you did. I know what went wrong though. I needed a second to bare the halo for me; not try to wear it myself. While bearing the power of a demon lord and balancing a pit fiend against me to prop up an angel with no power. It just fucking popped us, to much pressure on my head. So I need to route power from Annie to me as my second; rather than trying to demon and angel both at the same time. Seriously how else do you look left and right at the same time then to trust the fucker you have to look the other way?”
\t“And you're sure this will work?” Annie asked in turn. As he handed her the halo and she took it.
\t“It will; I doubled down and used the eye again to make sure. A scribe will actually come for me this time.” Anthony told her, then waved his hand to her. “But, given that I'm taking off the kid gloves tonight. I think I'll just kill the bastard when it shows; fuck that maze.”
\tAnnie nodded then watched as he was now going through his menus which for the first time she could see. And he did so with such speed it made the pups head spin. He was setting up something now, what she could scarcely guess. Even so she started tapping her own things she could now see. Not that there was much, a few listing for the very few basic magic tricks her mom taught them. Tapping on one of them promptly caused a light to sputter into life around her. “huh, the firelight spell, So that's what it was called. Just like mom’s. She always used it when she came to feed me at night.” She gave a little smile as she watched the little flame flicker a soft blue. “Must have seen her cast it so many times, that i must have memorized how to cast it.”
\t“Alright almost set, we just need one more Thing; someone who's better at this step than me.” Anthony replied, still holding the halo in hand. “Right peeper? That’s right I'm doing it again, gonna help or would you rather reset again?” Anthony asked in a rather surprising tone of snark that frankly did suit him Annie thought. She noticed he was looking in her direction; just up. Annie promptly screamed when she looked back and saw Otiv suddenly standing there behind her. “For someone who said he wouldn't come running. I've seen a hell of a lot of you lately.”
\t“I also told you I needed you alive.” Otiv then quickly replied, approaching the girl who backed away from him now. “But you seem to have a knack for getting yourself killed. Midnight has had to reset your world five times now I'll have you know. Only one of them could be listed as my fault though.” Otiv quipped, still advancing on Annie, which she was promptly beating a hasty retreat and a hard fucking nope. “Hold still girl.”
\t“Ann stay put, he's not gonna hurt you.” Anthony quickly reassured her. “We need his help for this. I failed to do it the first time; I'm not letting a second time happen given, you’re what I'm declaring as my trophy. So I'll let the specialist here handle the detailed setup work that I fucked the first time.”
\t“Smart boy, maybe you can be taught.” Otiv teased with a finger jabbed at the wolf. “As the old saying goes, you can't teach an old dog new tricks; maybe you're still young enough to learn, who's a good puppy.” Otiv quipped as he teased with a little kissing sound. Annie looked back to him then gave a sigh and a nod. Then let Otiv approach her. “Though you are also in luck. The only reason I am doing this to begin with; is I have a vested interest in waking as many of the star children as I can. And this one fell into my lap on a golden platter; one down eighty one to go. Otherwise I would have made a demand for this help I give. Or you know just not given a fuck and not gotten involved to begin with. Let you eat your parents and wake as a True Demon Lord.”
\t“Star children? Never heard of them.” Anthony quipped as he watched the boy closely.
\t“Oh? I bet you'll know all about them soon enough; won't you?” Otiv asked with a smirk; then went back to the pup. He jabbed her in the forehead with two fingers, she promptly locked up. With that Otiv first made some glowing marks on the air with his fingers. About four in total. Then he held his hands out to Annie's chest. “Take a breath.” Annie did just that, before the boy used a hand to press on her chest. Then he made a new mark with his free hand. Turned his hand on her chest a few times left and right almost like he was working a lock. As he did he kept marking down new runes in the air. It took longer than you might think; Otiv had drawn nearly a thousand runes before he was done. Then he pulled his hand back and with it a Star Light shone from her chest. “Ah it's in good condition; but dormant as normal, just needs a little wakey upie.” He teased glaring at the girl and giving her the devil's smirk. “Good very good, it's not damaged at all; your second chance hasn't even been consumed? Huh has your life never truly been in danger?” Then after he held both hands next to this star then reached back as one of his tendrils passed the boy a light; it was golden and warm. He fed it to her star in the seconds after; then made the pale light suddenly turn golden as well. “Alright now pass her the halo boy; she has what she needs to bear it without killing her. I've woken her star, the weight of Angelic Force won't crush her soul now as her Star will be able to bear it not her soul. Fool mortals think your souls are so strong; just a battery. It's the star you must use.” He told them as he clasped his hand. “That is how you use power without tearing your flesh with it.” He then gave Annie's head a rather surprising pat. He wore a rather genuine smile for a change as he told her. “You’ll be a mighty hero one day; but that day is not today. Nor will it be tomorrow.”
\t“Right.” Anthony quipped “Ann.” He promptly tossed her the ring, which she quickly caught it. “What next?”
\tOtiv suddenly just took it from her, and looked at it for a moment; well obsessed over it would be far truer. “Huh, it really is hers.” He spun that golden halo in his hand as he examined it, oh so carefully. “Strange though, I can't tell whose hand saved it. It was lost, the one part I could not save. I felt terrible sending her out there without it. But it was beyond me.” He turned the ring in his hand as he inspected its outer and inner ring. “Boy where did you get this halo from?” All of his attention was vested for a change. He looked up at the wolf dare say even hoping for a reply.
\t“Scott got it for me actually.” Anthony quipped to which the boy gave a nod. “Said he had to go find a very reclusive fox to get it for me. Which is why I'm here to kill a dragon today; it was what he asked for in exchange for the halo.”
\t“A Fox huh; noo. Noo it … it couldn’t be.” Otiv gave the ring another examination as suddenly his eyes glazed over with a teal color. “Oh now I see; This ring was crafted once more by the proper Alexander. But even yet I've not fixed him; I've not had the power to do so. How did a mortal find him; when I have not restored him? That should not be possible.” Otiv suddenly threatened jabbing a finger at Anthony.
\t“I don't know myself.” Anthony started one the boy was looking to him. “Some girl in a white hooded cloak gave me a note about six years ago; saying a friend sent her.” Otiv promptly quipped about the ‘white hood?’ to which Anthony replied ‘stark’. “She had a strawberry colored tail, too puffy to be a wolf or dogs; I'm betting fox.” To that point actually brought Otiv to suddenly swear ‘you son of a’ and glare away for a moment. “After I returned from the Dreadalisk War, and my Master promoted me to Knight Errant; for my valor, bravery, honor, and for going well and truly above and beyond the call of duty. He seemed to lement that he didn't have something called an 'Iron Cross' to give me; I can only guess it was a kind of medal of honor or something from his home land.” To which Otiv gave him a nod; well it was nice to know at least, I guess. “The girl however insisted it would help me if I gave it to the one I trusted above all others. When I turned to ask her what she meant she was gone; in the span of time it took me to blink and turn. She vanished like she was never even there.” Anthony told the boy who watched and listened with great intent. “But I could never read what was on it; it was blank for me even using the Eye of Twilight your Midnight gave me. I couldn't read word one of what was on it. But once he read it heh he told me he was not allowed to tell me of it. That doing so would ruin it; so take that as you will Otiv, that is all I know. You're more in tuned with this beyond level bullshit stuff it seems after all.”
\t“Naturally; would you go to a carpenter to buy a horse? Or a rancher to purchase a sword? Sorry but the it's dangerous to go alone, so take this stuff; don’t work. Seek a professional who will do it with Pride.” Otiv quipped once he finally put the halo over Annie's head. Then he tapped her forehead once more and the golden light returned to its bed. And flawlessly pure white wings suddenly sprouted from the girl's back and a golden little halo shone over her head. She looked the fish out of water as even her new wings started trying to hide herself with them. “Step one done; your angel is now in play, and the wings are surprisingly adorable. Add Annie to your party now.” Otiv then looked at Anthony. He did just that with Annie seeing a party request flashed before her eyes; which she tapped with a blink then found His bars joining under her's down to the top left of her field of view. “Start step two now and pay close attention. These are the fine details; we don't want any more popping now do we? List Annie as the source and recipient for steps four, eight, twenty two, forty four, one hundred and nine, and finally two forty one. Sinner, come forth, you next.” He beckoned the slime with a hand wave. The slime bounced out of the wolf's hood then over and into the boy's hands. However he made no overt actions. No movements, no gestures; no runes in the air. It was impossible to tell if he had done anything by the time the slime bounded back to Anthony. “And that's set; strangely compliant for an Ullgotham Pit Ooze. Sinner into the party. Then remove Sinner for receiving energy at state nine, twelve, forty five, steps one hundred and two through nine, and three fifty five; while adding him as a source to lines three, twelve, thirty two, eighty eight, two twenty four, and last three sixteen. Lastly for all remaining blank line entries you have, you are the listing to put in; whatever name you choose to use now.”
\t“Done; is that really it then?” Anthony asked which promptly got Otiv to look over at him. “The last time I tried this it killed me. So wanna Nanny Goat this or something? Last I checked everyone here, well maybe minus Sinner; wants me alive.” Anthony quipped after he finished jabbing information into a window. Annie couldn't even begin to make heads or tails of this almost phone book amount of screens her uncle was going through meant; even as he went through it with ease. Otiv himself then even glared at the screen for a few minutes.
\t“Positive.” Otiv then patted Anthony's shoulder. “I've checked the coding five times. All you'll need to do is make all the connections in order as prompted, I even slowed it down for your feeble little minds.” He then took a few steps back and pulled a few tentacles from the air. “All the same I think I'll still watch; and play fail safe. Let's not have reset six on the same day as reset five. Now more so that I have become directly involved. It would be an embarrassment if I allowed you to mess it up now that I am here.”
\tAnthony nodded, got up then got ready. “Ann stand over there.” The pup noticed a blip on her overlay in the following seconds. She gave a nod and quickly took her place. “Sinner you're up on my shoulder, you're playing co pilot.” Then after the slime was there and Otiv; well a ruby red fox had just brought him a drink then vanished into a portal that quickly shut. Otiv still watched, then took a swig from his glass. He then gave a nod. Anthony then held his hands up and his fingers started typing his eyes darting back and forth. “Sinner do your best to keep up. You should be able to see the connections as I need you to make them. We have to keep the flow of energy as balanced as possible or by the time we hit my Demon Lord levels; we'll hit critical mass and Otiv will have to pull our chestnuts out of the fire again.” The ooze nodded and its body started directly tapping on Otiv's screens. However as this turned into some deal of time with Anthony typing; eyes darting in and out of menus faster then Annie could see them change. The ooze was panting.
\t“Grrrr damn it!” The ooze roared before more of Sinner's body erupted out of the wolf's fur. “How am I the fucking weak link here? I REFUSE TO BE THE USELESS ONE!” He roared as suddenly more and more of his body started helping tapping windows making connections. Finally able to keep up with Anthony. And now the information was going so fucking fast, poor annie had completely lost the plot and just kind of watched blank faced.
\t“Jeez, did I really have to hurt your pride to make you take this seriously?” Anthony asked as his eyes darted endlessly. “Did I not just get finished telling you this killed us the last time we tried it?”
\t“How the hell are you so good at this when I a pit fiend can't keep up with it?” Sinner retorted as it pooled enough goo to make a small orb like slime to look at him. “This is insane, how many different classes and power sources did you need?”
\t“Enough to balance out a Demon Lord stupid shit! God it's like you're not even paying attention. The Demon Lord was bad enough now I have to add a Pit Fiend to the mix and try to prop up an unleveled angel.” Anthony spat back somehow, not breaking his eye contact on his windows. “It was too hard to keep myself me the first time that power triggered. The second I turned my blade on my master without knowing it was the man himself I was attacking; no I have never wanted to use this power again. Yes I'm scared of it, I'm scared to death of it. But I'm learning to live with it now at least. I have no choice now; what I must protect is too precious and I'm not strong enough yet.” Anthony snapped back as the two worked in a heated tandem yelling at one another even as they kept working. Otiv was watching with a vested interest; Annie watching the boy cup a hand to his face. However finally about a good half hour of the two working on it. It Finally clicked and set into motion. As his horns grew from his head. As angelic wings grew from his back. As the Ooze seemingly became one with Anthony's fur making his entire pelt go pitch black. Stood before them for only … about three seconds was a Shadowclad Twinborn.
\tAnd Annie after vanishing found herself on Anthony's shoulder. Otiv even gave a nod and clapped his hands. When the wolf then started, first by drawing his sword then aimed it at Otiv who smirked. However it was not Anthony’s action, not his choice. “Oh my foes; Now you should be wary. For now my might is Legendary.” With that declared the Demon Lord was enveloped with energy and light; making Ann shield her eyes. However Otiv's clapping only grew louder once the transformation was finished. However the man Annie found herself perched upon suddenly no longer had any fur. Even if he looked it; the man that was now pushing himself up off his hands was not human even if the body only looked it. White skin was met with brown hair with pitch black highlights and blue irises with black in place of white in his eyes; by all measurements he was drop dead handsome, deliberately so. He bore one black wing and one white wing. He bore twelve inch horns, a rich ivory white and a halo of blood stained gold.
\t“Bravo!” Otiv quipped, still clapping. “I didn't think you'd actually succeed; But a Nephilim now stands before my very eyes. A Demon Lord Nephilim no less; a unique monster, and I'm astonished to say. Outside of interfering this one time. I've had no hand in this development, at all; hand to your god. What a rarity, how truly unique; you continue to impress me boy. I am genuinely astonished. Never before have I laid eyes on the successful transformation; from mortal, angel, god, demon, or devil, all went mad. In all of my very extended existence, you are the first Nephilim I've ever laid my eyes upon. You, my new little friend, are now a very real game changer. Well done boy and I do mean it; you have just helped me toss a very old and very tedious rule-book out the window. Might I add, the human form looks good on you. Maybe you should shed your fur more often.”
\tAnthony however then spat on the ground. “I was born in my fur I'll die in my fur; this form is just a means to an end, nothing more. I don't need it, I don't want it, go fuck yourself. But seeing as I am stuck with it I'd better learn to use it huh.”
\tOtiv looked up at him with his left brow raised. “Really now? You mean to tell me you can take such power; then turn it off and live as a mortal without complaint?” With a smirk and a lifted eyebrow the tiny terror quipped. “I’m sure even the good Doctor Strange would say bullshit.”
\t“I never wanted to be a monster in the first place; The world took that away from me.” Anthony told him as he then held out a hand to look at Annie. “The only thing I can do is learn to live with the monster in my head; this way he'll never overtake me again. It terrifies me though that I agree with most of what he says; my inner demon lord's voice. I hear in the back of my thoughts, judging me, criticizing me, mocking me my every last waking fucking second. But so many of his venomous words I believe to be true. I don't want this form; it makes me fear what I might do. That's why I want Annie to be my leash, I trust that girl's heart right now more than I trust my own head; because right now he and I are one. If you think I can't tell, no I am very well aware. I am no longer me; this little ruse this farce I've got going now. My voice, my mannerisms, the way I talk, the way I walk, Right down to the way I act; right down to how I would respond to things and fight, my stride and vocabulary. It's a lie nothing more, I am no longer me; my consciousness is now in a state of flux. Of which any of my bits and pieces could now swap into my place. That's why I don't want this form. But I'll learn to use it when I must at least so that he can't run amok because I can't contain him.”
\tThe boy shook his head. “I never wanted to be a monster either.” Otiv quipped, then held his arms out. “Yet here I am the grandfather of all that is nightmarish. I guess we both stand as living proof that we don't always get what we want out of life; we must make do with what we get sometimes. Maybe there is hope for you not to be a fool as Midnight loves to claim. And if you can really not use this power because it takes your fur away; then Midnight is right and you are a fool. For someone who so brazenly took power that was not his for such a shallow reason to reject it; when it might make you a hero of myths and legends. Be careful or this power may spurn you in your time of need if you hold it so callowly in your heart. What you grasp now is a very shallow power and it will bite you if you give it the chance.” The boy told him then pointing at his chest with a finger. “Pride boy Pride.”
\t“If I needed otherworldly powers to be strong then I never was to begin with. If I can't win without going to Demon Lord then I deserve death. But I'm not dumb enough to sit here and refuse to use a weapon in my arsenal when the situation calls for it; more so that he's already taken over my body once. And he nearly took my nieces fuckin head off in that length of time. But you don't use black powder to kill a few flies and if you do; then I say you are the fool.” Anthony fired right back.
\t“Eh, I'll admit your argument has merit; but it's a fool's merit all the same.” Otiv quipped, making Anthony look back at him. However he was half way through the portal by now. “Your argument still falls to; you fear how others will judge you for your power.” And that made him step away from the portal; it seemed now he had something to say. “Power is not good nor is it evil in any form; if you load a crossbow and set it on a table. Will that crossbow get up and shoot someone; without magic or machinery naturally? No, the crossbow will lay there until someone uses it. It is but energy; the being using the power is what makes it good or evil.” Otiv told him as he clutched one of his fists. Then with a finger pointed at Anthony. “You still trap yourself behind a subconscious wall of fear of what others would label you. Monster, Devil, Nightmare, Demon Lord; how shallow, how mundane. How many could harm him yet he lets their words wound his heart.” He had said the words so dismissively he almost seemed disgusted by it. “Though I can't say I judge you. I myself am still trying to learn to live among you mortals without mass killing you by accident. Are mere words enough to make you put away a sword out of fear of being judged for using it. Then why have power at all? Why seek the strength to protect the girl you love; Why be strong? When you fear what the world will think of you for saving her with it. If the opinion of a world is enough to make you shudder in your boots at the thought of your own power; Then you are a fool with power wasted on you. But if you finally get past the shallow pity puddle of mortal opinions and morality. You might just have a spitting chance of waking true power divine power even if not all gods need be benevolent. Or would you allow the shallow fears of small minded people to prevent you from becoming a god?” But with that Otiv walked into the portal now. But his hand did reach back through real quick. Where he let out a frank snap. Anthony, and Annie it seems, then find a new listing called Limit Breaker level one in one of their menus. With the verse following. “Learn to use it, learn to tolerate it; and stop trying to make new systems that already exist. You will thank yourself and me for it I'm sure. Now unless you'd want to ask me to deal with the dragon too.”
\t“No, this is graduation day.” Anthony told him. “I either sink or swim; if I can't kill this lizard in this form how can I found an entire nation?”
\tOtiv was silent for a second. “I can respect that.” He was gone but seconds after. As the tentacles that coiled to make his portal also retreated the trio were alone.
\t“You sure you can handle this dragon though?” Annie now on his shoulder her voice now mini; her tail in her lap. And the wings she was trying to use were held close to her back.
\t“No, but I seem to learn fast when my life's on the line. If I was a pure Demon lord it would be a hard fight; this is new. That's the only reason it'll even be hard.” Anthony replied, there was a puddle of water he had found nearby; and was now looking at his reflection. “Hell it's how I became this to begin with; you don't realize the things you can do … when it's people not demons that are trying to kill you. Jeez I don't even look like me any more either.” He opened his mouth then looked at his teeth. “Oh damn I've got more razors in this mouth than my real one.” Anthony then looked over to Annie now perched on his shoulder. “Hey there cutie. One last thing; before I get swept up in this and you lose the real me.”
\t“What?” Annie squeaked but was quickly cut off.
\t“Take this little uh glowy thing.” Anthony told her, handing her a little glowing orb. Then on his neck formed a collar, and on her hand a matching bracelet. “There now if I get too far gone; my leash can yank me back. But you should take every word out of my mouth from here on out with a grain of salt; I will start lying to you, and no I won't be able to control it.”
\t
\tBut then his hand quickly shot out and snapped her up. “OOOOOOOOH what do we have here?” Anthony's mouth opened but that was hardly his voice. It was a far higher pitch and spoken by someone with way too much excitement. “Ooh pretty pixie now huh? Told you I'd see you again girl.” The man now grabbing her said with a very wide smile. “Oooh boy did Uncle A make a mistake today. Maybe I should yank off one of these pretty little wings to make him learn! THE TROPHY MUST BE PROTECTED!” But the second he grabbed them the bracelet on her wrist lit up and she threw her hand to one side; the man suddenly gagged then just as suddenly covered his face with his hand.
\t“Damn it, already?” Anthony replied suddenly then dragging his hand down. “He slipped out didn't he?”
\t“Yeah.” Annie replied in a state of shell shock. “Tried to pull off one of my wings. Said he had to make you learn. The trophy must be protected? Whatever that even means.”
\t“Bastard.” Anthony then scowled and threw his hand away from her; but promptly put her back on his shoulder. “Sorry love; I'll tighten the lock. It won't happen again; WILL IT SINNER! Let's get this over with; I’m cold. I want my fur back.” Anthony then Looked around. “So Sinner how's it feel to actually be in my head?”
\t“You are crazy boy.” Sinner replied but he was not seen. “I am actually dancing in your gray matter right now and in your blood; aren't you worried?”
\t“Are you fucking kidding me? You've been itching my hide all my fucking life; as far back as I can remember. Plus side I never had to deal with fleas but you were worse I'd bet.” Anthony replied, still looking around. “You've already been on my head; now I'm just willing to trust you to be in it. I die, you die remember. And please help me keep the personas out; I can't fight this dragon if my head keeps switching me out with different me's. Where is his damn lair?”
\t“Are you fucking kidding me?” The excited voice spat. Suddenly his wings slammed him into the air. He did some spins, his wings clutched lightly to his body as he shot himself high. Then when his wings shot out then held him in the air. “It's a fucking Dragon dip shit; it needs a hella big hole.” He then spat once Anthony was high in the air over a large hole. “Surprised? Awww thought you locked me away again huh? Guess you don't know how dis werks dwnt ya.” He said in the single most patronizing tone. “I'm involved now stupid. Did you think I would let you turn me on then put me in a box? Fuck you bitch! I want ta fight.” Anthony then once more controlled his body; but his wings were acting of their own accord. “You don't know how to fly, do you wolfie; trust me with your wings and you can. What are you losing? You couldn't use them in the first place. It's either I help or I get a box; so fuck it as long as it's gonna be a good fight; OOOOOOH FUCK YA I'll help.”
\t“Alright; naming you; know what fuck you Francis, you're name is now Francis.” Anthony spat.
\t“HEY!” Francis spat.
\tAnthony then sighed; “I'll trust you with the wings. After all, same story if I die you go with me.”
\t“I'm still you dumb ass. Even if I'm one of the most twisted pieces of you; it's still a mutilated piece from the shattered source.” Francis then spat. “Still can't believe you shackled me to that little bitch!”
\t“I'll try to learn by watching Uncle A.” Annie told him now. “I can learn to use these wings.”
\tHowever then his hand slammed down on his shoulder; slamming and pinning her under it. “THE FUCK YOU WILL!”
\t“HEY!” Anthony then shouted, grabbing his hand with the other.
\t“Do you know how fuckin dense the air pressure is up here for you stupid shit!?” Francis shouted, pushing his hand tighter down to his jacket. “You unfold those damn things up here without being able to use them to begin with; yer just beggin to snap them fuckin off. How fucking retarded are you? Short bus ticket for one!” Then he let go of her so to did Anthony him. “You best just enjoy the ride Bitch! That day is not today bitch; Yer useless here, so get fuckin used to it.”
\tAnnie snarled for a moment, before whining and holding on tight. “Sorry Ann; but he's right. Keep them closed or you'll hurt yourself.” Annie nodded then crawled over to his neck; and tucked herself into his clothes a bit more. “Are we ready for this?”
“No”
“Not fucking even; HEY STAY OUTTA THE BRAIN!”
“Yup that's a no.”
a new voice cried
\t“Sorry Ann; guess I'm going insane and I'm taking you with me.” Anthony told her as she patted his head.
\t“I'm here with you by choice dummy.” Annie squeaked at him just for now holding on for dear life. Though she did get a new listing in her menus that made her jaw fall open; then silently started to weep once she started to read it.

\tBut then Once he looked down into the mountain; then flew to it. The dragon would no doubt fair about as well as him underground. But the dragon would be bigger, so he would have far more advantage moving. As such there was no reason to start this battle out in the open where the dragon would have advantage. So once he flew into the mountain proper via the only passage big enough for a dragon to get in and out. Annie as she had herself tucked into the collar of the amalgamation she was calling Uncle. As the man and the monsters in his head entered the mountain. The passage was surely big enough for a dragon as they entered.
\t“Certainly smells like a dragon here. Foul smelling beast.” They heard Sinner quip.
\t“Gonna be a good fight at least.” Francis quipped after.
\t“I am actually going crazy.” Anthony complained. Though at least Annie was rubbing his head. In some strange way she was a very soothing presence. Though at least now it was a straight shot; already he could hear the beast breathing. There was a constant pull, a tug; something wanting to draw away his attention. Even as he walked this cavern-like passage; it was an ever nagging, ever tugging force; Annie was the only thing keeping him sane. Even if it was fear filling her as they got closer to the dragon; and petting him was a coping mechanism against it. She didn't even notice how soothing it was for him. However next the dragon huffed awake in the next chamber. “Figures it's already sensed me.”
\t“It's a fuckin Dragon and a big fucker.” Francis quipped; a bit too eager for the fight then Annie liked.
\tBut seems next Annie alone remained to notice the way Anthony's voice changed; of all the strange voices she had heard come from his throat. This was the first one that made her double take. For how dark the tone was it sounded as if it was spoken by your typical edge lord teenager. “It'll be over fast.” and none of the other voices said a word. Purple trails from his eyes as he walked down the corridor of stone. Now in utter silence.
\t“What happened?” Annie asked, looking at the Wolf who's shoulder she was perched on. “Uncle A?” Annie asked. But she got no response. “Sinner?” She asked next; but still she got no response. A sudden shiver ran down her spine as she suddenly had a very bad feeling about this. Even checking her visual overlay and seeing they were all still together in the party; to which they all were even Francis was still in the squad. Anthony however did glance at her and gave a little smirk; then focused on the path. “Francis?” But still she got no response. Seems she was dealing with another yet unnamed figment of her uncle's shattered mind. And so it seemed recent choices had made already bad damage worse. Annie gave a soft whine as all she could do was watch as her uncle's body was hijacked by some unknown persona. She had no say in anything going on; only there because she had to be there. A pretty little figure head and nothing more. The dragon huffed again as it hoisted itself off what must have at least been a small pile of coins; that clinked and cluttered as they fell. Anthony still just sauntering toward it absolutely silently.
\t“What is this putrid scent? Why does it suddenly reek of Death in my lair? I've not killed anything here yet!” What could only have been the beast in question from the next question. Anthony then in moments after he entered watched the large red dragon standing tall over an impressive mound of gold. “Huh figures, you Knights have always been reckless; but maybe this one is just stupid. I doubt you are even still in there are you young knight.” The wolf before him gave a smirk and a shrug of his shoulder, still not saying a word or making a sound. The dragon in turn spat once before snarling. “Very well fiend; any threat should die anyway!” And at that the creature broke out into a sprint. Baring fang, claw, fire, and magic. A living tank covered in some of the hardest scales known to adventurers. Anthony gave a smirk as the trails of energy from his eyes seemed to wag a bit. Annie watched but out of fear of losing her perch hurried to his neck to hold onto his hair. The dragon still racing to engage him, even taking to wing to do so.
\tBut then finally Anthony spoke, or so the persona from before. First after jabbing a few fingers in the beast direction.
“As I Speak So Shall It Be;
DIE!”
\tHis last words boomed out which instantly echoed in the cave. With enough force to even blast back Annie's fur and wings. The force fell upon the dragon who instantly gagged and winced. Before his head fell limp under him. Dragging his body down to the ground. Anthony rocked to his right first to avoid a foot and claw as the dragon's body crashed to the ground slammed forward by its own head. Then forward as the dragon's tail started crashing down behind the wolf, Who then rocked backward last to once again avoid the tail which crashed to the ground with the ear shattering sound of a cracking whip. Annie's jaw was hung as low as it could as silence soon filled the cave. Her mind being unable to process what she just watched happen. But then the person she was perched on was no longer a wolf. But that being said she did recognize the face she saw. She'd already seen it once already after all; the first face she saw once he showed her who he truly was. But now the dragon was quiet and the beast was now a corpse. The man seemed human but bore elvin and even angelic features. Crystal blue eyes that met pitch black hair; and a stubble like goatee that grew around his upper lip and chin. Lastly it seemed his cloak was more akin to a shifting shadow shroud. He pulled one of his eyelids down with a tongue being jabbed next. Next he held a hand up which opened some strange pocket like space which then started pulling the dragon tail first into itself. Then gobbling up the body then the head vanishing just as easily. He held his hand up to Annie to get a high five; but shell shocked as the girl was she had no choice but to leave him hanging.
\tNext he approached the treasure horde after hanging for a moment then giving a shrug. Gave a soft whistle that even brought Annie back to her senses. Was a very tidy sum even if it seemed god only knew how much the pile would amount to; but also there was only one way it was getting out of here. Same way the dragon was. Anthony, or the persona as Annie had started calling them; gave a snap of his fingers. The hole blinked shut then reopened over the pile at which point. The pile of coins, metals, jewels; and other such items of note. Where quickly sucked in by the thing; which then blinked back to his hand, then seemed like a pet wanting praise. He did give it a pat then it blinked away. Then he rested his hands on his hips, gave a look around the cave as Annie was still trying to put her own head back together; finally aware something had been wrong. But by then even as Annie had managed to dumb luck her way through brain damage caused by mana overdose. The persona had now clutched his own head; first with one hand then with two. Then he grabbed his chest and stumbled backward a few steps. Annie by now was racing toward his head on his arm; as the man stumbled further a step or two more. Each second he grew more and more unstable; something had crashed down so suddenly upon then, that frankly it hit Annie by accident. At least the pup managed to reach his head; but the second she managed contact. The boy stopped moving, in a snap response. But then Annie's ears dropped, as Anthony's body lifted his hands to his eyes to look at them.
\tFear filled the girl's face as she realized that as the weakest member of the persona merger; she had control of his body now. Uncontested control she realized as the body began patting itself down. She did noticed wolf-like ears had emerged suddenly from his head. Same with the tail she managed to give a wag. Which only had the fear grow in the pup's face as she looked up to her uncle's face. “Uncle A, please tell me you're still in there; please I need you to tell me that you’re ok.” But she then had an idea; the party menu! It showed statuses on party members. So quickly she looked at the items in her visual overlay. Then looking through one window then to another. But what she found brought her free hand to clasp her mouth. Anthony's status was currently listed as brain death. Francis was missing and Sinner dead. So far it seemed the only reason the body was still even alive. Was entirely that she rolled a Nat Twenty and had Lady Luck on her side. She had his head look at her best she could manage. The eyes she had looked at her were lifeless soulless. “There has to be something I can do; I mean everything's still working. His body is still alive. I can feel it can still feel him.” So she dared using his eyes to look at his overlay. But it didn't work; though she could see it, it was all as if it was written in another language. “Damn it; ummm. Fuck what do I do?”
\tShe wondered what she should do; should … should she call for Otiv? Would he even come? Then she realized something; she had one option. So first she took a breath and shouted. “Oh Wise Raven please I beg your aid!” She hollered which echoed into the empty cave. At first nothing, which filled the girl with dread. But moments later after two tries. A green portal opened and in flew the Raven in question. He flew a lap or two to gauge the situation before he dared to fly close. But then the bird flew to Anthony's head and looked him in the eyes. But balked with a squawk at what he saw. Hovering for a moment as he cocked his head to one side then the other. Looking Anthony in the eyes as Annie mimicked the bird's movements. Which then brought the bird's gaze down to her. So he let himself fall to her level. Then gave the girl a, if soft, judging look. “Look, I can't even tell you what happened. I don't know myself, it happened so fast and I think I was just collateral. What I can see says he's brain dead; but I'm keeping him alive I think. Please can you take us to someone who can fix him; if that's even possible? I Don't have anything to trade but please I don't know what else to do. I’m scared and I don't have any options.”
The pup begged with tears now dripping down her eyes. Trying so hard to stay strong but the scared little girl was starting to show. So the bird gave a nod then promptly flew up to and landed on his shoulder. This time once he closed his wings energy started to build up around the bird. Only one way to move a power holder afterall. Then it took a deep breath; gave a loud caw. And suddenly a bubble grew up around them. That the bird waved his wings a few times as they shaped. Then sliced his wings horizontally and found the bubble popping. And where they found themselves well even if it was yet more stone. This time it seems they were in a house of god. A large if humble church; where, the girl could scarcely guess. Strangely she felt like she may have seen it before.
\tAnnie had him look over to the Raven who gave a nod in turn then pointed with his wing toward a door. She used him to give a nod back; then walked in that direction. The entire thing still made a frightful shiver run her spine as the; ‘I'm controlling my uncle's lifeless body’ thing tried to rear its ugly head. But the wise Raven comforted her by rubbing his own head to Anthony's. The door once gone through led to a hallway which the bird guided her down. He then pointed to another door at which point she entered what seemed to be a private shrine. Inside was found an old priest; Currently knelt on a mat paying before a shrine with his hands clasping each other. But the old man gave a 'huh' and lifted his head. What shocked Annie, what are the odds after all. When he turned to look at them she knew his face. From long ago, when she was little. “Oh my what do we have here? A monster that can enter a house of god?” He asked as he clasped his jaw. “I fear so yes, the young man who belongs in that head is not alive, in a technical sense.” He mused then looked up to the bird, the Raven giving a nod then flying up to and landing on one of the old man's shoulders. Lifted his beak to the man's ear. And for a few moments the priest nodded and 'humm' or 'oh dear-ed'. The Bird then gave the priest a nod then flew up and off into yet another green portal. Then the priest looked at Annie still perched on Anthony's shoulder. “Hello there little one. I …” He intended to start but clasped his mouth once more once he recognized that tiny little pup from not so long ago. “No it's not possible, what are the odds it would be the same adorable little pup. Wait then does this mean this is?!?” The priest asked as he looked back up at Anthony.
\tAnnie gave a nod then told him. “That would be my Uncle Anthony. My menus tell me he's brain dead.”
\t“Oh dear me I see. Mana overload I'd bet my life on it.” The old man quipped. Clasping his chin again. “My name is Nigel by the way. Nigel Dermen, I don't think I ever got your name, little one.”
\t“I'm Annie, Annie Grayclaw.” The still half angel pup gestured to herself with her one free hand. Her voice still small and squeaky. “Is there a chair I can sit him in? If I take my hand off his head I fear he will fall.” Nigel gave a nod and showed her to a nearby pew. Anthony trudged over then took a seat. Annie removed her hand and his body just went slack. “Oh my, that was more draining than I expected.”
\t“How is it that so many horrible things keep happening to the same young lad? Or family for that matter, I'm so sorry the fate of your parents, my child. I was devastated when I heard that those two kind hearted children had passed.” Nigel soothed her with his words. Then clasped his hands together. “Alright if I am to help I'm afraid I must know as much as I can dear. Please let us start with what has happened to you two? What manner of creature are you?”
\tAnnie looked up to Anthony once more, now lifeless in his seat. And her ears dropped leading her to look back up to the actually rather titanic sized old man from Annie's point of view. “Someone else called us, what was it again? A Nephlim Triarii.” Annie quipped with both her and her uncle mimicking the same hand gesture. “Oh bother … uh I didn't mean to move him that time.” Her ears sinking and now tears welling up in her eyes.
\t“My word are you really?” The old priest then promptly asked. Holding a hand to his jaw, as he then dared casting his hand at the boy. “I have heard stories of Nephilim; but fear I believed them only such.” Annie winched as an uncomfortable feeling washed over her.
\t“Oow, he's reacting. Whatever you just did, one of the other's didn't like it.” Annie then even had her hand tossed away and the body fought and trembled to remain still and upright. “I don't even know which one it is.”
\t“Naturally child I found the demon hiding behind Sinner in the shadow of the ooze.” Nigel rather smugly quipped. “Come now fiend don't make me drag you from him.” The old man stated then even still got ready for war.
\t
\tBut as Annie gasped, Anthony's eyes ran black. And something very sinister made Anthony smile. Then suddenly, they were all of them surprised. Annie noticed that last few seconds; when the look she saw on his face was that of her Uncle's. As quick as he could the wolf lifted his hand, and snapped the fingers on his right hand. And suddenly as the boy dared reach for a bit of something beyond. Naturally the system crashed; so novice a hand so meager a drop of power creation overloaded in response.
And everything faded to black.
