The sun had set nearly three hours earlier and the last village I had passed was at least four hours back the way I came or some direction at least. In the post twilight hours I had managed to get myself totally lost. I should have arrived at the city of Meridia, my destination, hours ago and at this point both it and the last village could be anywhere. Exhausted and confused after a long days travel down the Imperial roads I did the first sensible thing I had since sunset: I found a large tree to lean against and plopped my tired body onto the ground. All of my muscles were sore from hauling my merchandise up and down the roads all day. To top it off, my back felt like it was on fire due to dagger wounds I had suffered a few days earlier. That’ll teach me to turn my back on an angry customer. I didn’t know how long I was going to sit against that that tree, cradling my side and nibbling on what little food I had left but I did know that wandering aimlessly wouldn’t do me any good. And so I sat for nearly an hour, starring blankly out at endless forest of trees, before I heard it. It started softly at first, obviously a great distance away but still the sound was easily identifiable. I couldn’t image that someone had sent out legionaries for me, but Roman Soldier rarely ventured this far away from their posts at this time of night. Something serious had to be going on, but it obviously did not involve me and I was too tired to be concerned. Once I rested a little longer I would head in the direction of soldiers and that would surely lead me back to the main road. It would have been a wonderful plan if not for one thing; the soldiers were obviously out here for something, and that something found me. I could hear it long before I saw it. Whatever it was, it was making no effort to be quite. I could hear large quantities of forest debris being pushed aside as it came rushing in my direction. In mere seconds I had gone from unconcerned to terrified. Whatever it was, it was not small and it was getting unbearably to close to me. Then, maybe twenty yards at most from me I saw a large dark mass fall to the ground. And the noise stopped. I was wary at first. I waited without moving for what felt like an hour before I started inching myself closer to it. Whoever it was, they were naked as I couldn’t see any clothes on the body. It was also clear that they were not dead as I could still see the slight motions associated with unconsciousness. As I approached, the pure size of the person became clear. I was no midget standing at just over six feet tall and this person was nearly as big as me. Their size concerned me and I almost backed off until I noticed the many slow streams of blood running off of the unknown man’s body. I did not know why the soldiers were chasing him or why they had caused him such massive wounds but I felt a tinge of guilt over nearly leaving the man lying there to bleed to death. I darted back to my supplies in search of material to bandage his wounds and nearly made it before I remembered that I had used the last of it to bandage own wounds. I was unsure what I should do but I knew I had little time if I was going to be any good to this man. My wounds still hurt but I knew I wasn’t going to bleed to death from them. Using pure will power I pulled at my bandages, removing with it plenty of dry blood and dead skin. They were not the nicest bandages but I was sure he wouldn’t mind. I dashed back to the unconscious body and began to bandage his wounds. With the first touch I knew things were not going well. The body was cold and the skin was rough and slick. I quickly wrapped up the wounds on his arms and torso. As I applied pressure to the bandages my new unconscious friend began to pant, moan and growl. I wasn’t sure if this was good or bad but at least it proved he was alive. I had just enough bandage left over to cover up the large gash on his leg but as I applied pressure to the bandage I nearly lost my balance from what I saw. The large person was not a man at all but actually a woman! I couldn’t help but stare. Unlike the tavern worker I had given a handful of copper coins to a few nights ago to convenience her to come back to my room with me, the injured woman’s pussy was tight and completely free of pubic hair. I slowly moved one of my hands slowly up the woman’s leg until my index finger gently brushed up against her lips and gently started to part them. A low moan caused my hand to dart back to the bandage. I placed my only blanket over her and returned to my tree. Whoever she was and what ever happened to her, I could do nothing more until morning. I only wish it hadn’t been such a cold night. I awoke to the sun glaring in my eyes. It took a few moments to remember why I was there and all that had happened the night before. Still squinting to see, my heart sunk down into my boots. I slowly walked over to where she had been but it wasn’t any different when I got closer. She was gone and all that was left was a dried puddle of blood and tracks of a large beasts. The scent from all the blood must have drawn it to her. It didn’t take me long to gather my things and head out towards where I believed the road to be. After her disappearance I had no desire to stay anywhere near there, in part due to my mourning for the woman and in part due to the fact that the beast may still be near by. Once I reached the road I had hoped I could put the previous night out of my mind but I couldn’t. I traveled for at least an hour before nearing Meridia and my mind hadn’t wandered away from thoughts of her for a minute of that time. Until… I was only ten minutes outside of Meridia the first time I heard it. It sounded like a mixture between a roar and a moaning hiss but whatever it was it was nothing I’d ever heard before. After a moments hesitation and waiting for the beast to sound off again and hearing only the sound of song birds I began to walk. I made it less then ten feet before it sounded again. Once more I looked around and waited for the beast to sound again but to no avail. It was almost as though it was mocking me. I started to walk again and again it sounded. It went on like this for nearly twenty minutes before it would make its last hideous roar. This time it sounded as though it was right behind me. Slowly I turned around, my hand on the bulge in my cloak where I hid my dagger. I was totally unprepared for what I saw. The beast stood as tall as me and was staring straight into my eyes, as if knowing I would turn. Its eyes were bloodshot and filled with an evil passion, as if it was imaging ripping me to pieces, panting its foul breath in sick excitement. The smell nearly overcame me as its long slender snout extended to within an inch of my face and blew the fumes of decomposing meals straight into my nostrils. I shifted my eyes away from its face and scanned up and down its body looking for a weak point to stab before the creature could get around to attacking, but to no avail. From head to claw covered toe was nothing but thick off green scales. I jumped backwards as I saw its tail flicker with movement. This would be my fatal mistake as I tripped over my own feet and fell onto my ass. From this position the creature would have an easy shot at me. I prepared for the worst as the beast leaned down and drew out its arm. I closed my eyes and prepared for the sting of boney claws digging into my face. But nothing happened. I opened one of my eyes and then, in confusion, opened the other. The lizard beast had sat down in front of me and continued to stare and pant, just as before. I was deeply perplexed now, wondering why the beast had not attack when it had such an easy chance at a fatal blow. We sat silently staring at each other as the minutes passed by. With each second more questions arose. What manor of creature was it? Why was it in these woods? Had this creature been the one to kill the woman from last night? Why was it following me? My original question still occupied most of my thoughts. Why hadn’t it attacked me? Then, as I stared into those reptilian eyes, I noticed something out of place. Anger filled me as thoughts of killing this beast flowed through my mind. It had killed the mysterious woman from last night, and pieces of my soaked bandages still stuck to her scales. I got to my knees, reached for my dagger and prepared to drive it her heart, just as I had done over and over again in my mind the last few seconds. Just before my dagger was about to puncture her scales, I stopped. “What did you say?” was all I could manage to squeak out of my mouth, dry from my smoldering hatred. “Love…” the lizard creature hissed, pointing one of its scaly claws at me. “What do you mean? Wait, you can speak?” She cocked her head a little, but said nothing. “What do you mean?” I said, my anger slipping into my voice. I was shocked. When I yelled at it, the lizard creature actually looked frightened. “Love…” It said, this time very meekly. I was still confused, but choose not to say any more. What ever it meant, I was obviously scaring it as much as it was scaring me. We spent another few minutes just staring at each other. Abruptly, she pointed to her side and spoke, almost crying this time. “Love…” I stared at where she was pointing and pondered what she meant. Something seemed wrong but I couldn’t place what. Until the obvious dawned on me. There were more then just scraps of my bandages on her and they weren’t just hanging off her. All of my bandages were rapped around it… or her as I now realized. “You… You were the woman from last night? You were the one I saved?” Her expression made it clear that she didn’t understand any of what I was saying. I realized now what was going on. The passion I had saw in her eyes moments ago was not rage and she was not panting because she was imagining killing me but imagining something quite different. It’s amazing what you think about when the unexpected happens to you. I had always assumed that when something impossible happened that I would be unable think, yet I remained fairly lucid. I actually began to consider what this all meant. I thought about the last few years of my life and all the street urchins and bar maids I coaxed into coming up to my room. A few copper coins here, a few stale pieces of bread there, and a whole lot of pussy. Yet it wasn’t very satisfying. Cheaply bought sex just wasn’t fulfilling. I had been looking for a real relationship with a unique, interesting woman who loved and lusted over me for me and not for the food or coins I gave her. I was looking for a woman who really loved me and who I could love. Damn the fates. It seems they had given me what I had longed for. I kissed her on the end of her snout and found that her cold, scaly skin felted good against my lips. The fear in her eyes disappeared instantly and was replaced by a joyful passion. “Love.” I said, smiling as I pointed at her. Despite the language barrier, it was clear she understood. Damn The Fates: Merchant And Lizard Ch. 02 Lizard Love It was unexpected. An hour earlier the day was bright and sunny and the market place was full of people. Now, the market place was abandoned. The winds were so strong that it was nearly impossible to walk against them and the rain stung any exposed skin like daggers falling from the sky. Everyone else, even the street urchins who I’d never seen leave the central city, had left the market place for a safer location. I was the only fool still outside. I needed to find her before I found shelter. After our first night together I felt almost assured I would never see Illica ever again. We were very different and I thought for sure our language barrier would destroy any interest in each other. I wasn’t even sure Illica was her name. Illica could have meant scales or perhaps the name of her species or perhaps even her word for chest. Still, she always smiled when I meet her in the edges of the near by forest and called herself that. So, just like every night in the last three weeks, I was out again yelling for her. “Illica!” I screamed, searching afterwards for any sign of movement. “Illica! Are you here?” I was about to turn back, assuming she had found some sort of shelter from the rain when I noticed a large, dark shape running towards me. It took only seconds for her to be standing right in front of me. “Come!” She hissed at me in her harsh reptilian voice as she grabbed my arm and began to pull in the direction of the deep forest. “No, you have to come with me.” I yelled, trying to pull her in the opposite direction. I felt certain she wouldn’t come with me into the city since all of my attempts in the last few weeks had resulted in a sad look upon my reptilian lovers face and a word I finally translated to be reptilian for no. Up until now spending time with Illica in the forest was a pleasant and new experience but it was not safe for either of us to be out tonight. She looked at me with the same, sad look that she always gave me when I tried to get her to go into the city but this time she didn’t say no. She merely stood perfectly still and stared at me. ”Illica, you have to come with me. It’s not safe out here for you. I know you don’t want to go and I don’t know why but you have to trust me that you’ll be alright as long as you’re with me. We can’t stay out here much longer because the storm is getting worse.” It was clear she didn’t understand any of what I was saying but I was certain she had at least understood the tone. Still, she remained steadfast in her placement and gaze. “Illica, do you love me?” I asked her, pointing at her and myself at the appropriate moments. I knew from our first encounter that she understood the word love. “Illica love you!” She shouted, a sense of glee replacing her previously somber expression. “Then you have to come with me. Please Illica, we have to go now!” Her eyes told that she understood the urgency in my voice and, reluctantly, she walked with me towards the city. ------------------------ Her reluctance turned to fear as we passed into the city. I could feel her strong scaly hand trembled as we walked through the abandoned market place. Still, I spent little time comforting her. Even with this storm there was a chance someone would see her and call out the guards. Every moment spent outside increased our risk so I wasted no time getting a room and getting Illica and I out of the storm before it got any worse. Our room was small but nice for the price. In the middle of the room was a bed large enough for the two of us and a table and mirror directly across from it. Along the wall farthest from the door was a crude fireplace with a large rug in front of it. Illica stayed by the door as I checked out the room, at least until I lit a fire in the fireplace. The storm left a bitter chill in everyone, even those who were cold blooded. It was as if she had never seen anyone make fire before, at least from the look of amazement in her eyes. She inched her way closer and closer to the fire, placing her hands only inches above the flames as her scale covered snout hung open in amazement. I sat down next to her, took off my soaking wet robe and placed it near the fire dry. I sat there naked for a moment watching with silent amusement as Illica stared with wonder at the fire. With little warning and without moving her eyes from the fire she slid the few inches that were between us and snuggled her body against mine. “Magic?” She asked me, looking at the fire. “Magic” I thought to myself, “I wonder where she learned that word.” I cocked my head and began to kiss her along the bottom of her snout starting near her neck and working out towards the tip. The underside of her snout had very few scales and was very soft, making my soft kisses even more arousing. At the tip I wiggled my tongue passed her impenetrable fortress of teeth and found her long, reptilian tongue. For a few moments we were locked in an embrace, our tongues exploring each others mouths. For the last few seconds I could feel her long tongue reach all the way back and caress the back of my throat. Abruptly she pulled herself apart from me and stared deeply into my eyes. I wasn’t sure why, but I knew she loved what she was about to do next from the look on her face. We stared into each others eyes for a moment before I closed mine in anticipation. Nearly instantly I could feel her long, wet, slimy tongue wrap itself around my hard cock, starting at the tip and slowly slithering its way down to the base, her forked tongue twitching against my balls. With her tongue in place, I could feel her lower her snout down, sucking the entire length of the shaft into her longing snout. Up and down I felt her head slide as her tongue curled and uncurled itself from my now rock hard cock. I had been waiting all day just thinking about lying her on the ground and thrusting myself into her pussy but I knew that wasn’t going to happen yet. I had eaten out Illica’s scaly pussy multiple times before and comparing her juices to those of the human whores and beggars I’d been with I could only guess that my cum must taste to her like ultra sweet candy. She knew I was always up for more then one round and I knew she wouldn’t release her long jaws until I gave her a gift of cum in her mouth. I could feel myself almost at the point of cumming so I began to tickle the underside of her snout with my index finger. I could see how it sent shivers through her and just like every time before I could feel her tongue move faster with each twitch until I finally couldn’t contain myself. After every drop of my load was shot and every inch of my cock was cleaned by her ever roving tongue, I could feel her pull back and smile. I wasted little time engaging my next move, although even I was surprised at what I did. After a small peck on the top of her head I pushed her down onto her stomach. With just the proper amount of force I pushed her long, thick tail out of my way so that I could see what I was after. Longing and anticipating my entry, her lizard lips were glistening with juices and I could hear soft panting as she waited for me to fill her tight little pussy with the first thrust of my cock. She didn’t have to wait long. In rapid succession her panting turned to gasping and then into moaning as I thrusted my cock, first only the tip and then the whole length, into her. In and out I pushed, her moaning turning from bursts into one continuous moan as her orgasm grew closer. As her moaning grew longer my thrust grew harder and faster until I could feel her vaginal muscles tighten around my member as her moans turned to screams as she reached orgasm. As her muscled tightened I could feel myself reaching a second orgasm. With a final thrust I shot a thick load of human cum into her pussy as we both screamed together with pleasure. Usually at this point Illica, happy and contented, would want to cuddle up to me and sleep. I don’t know if it was what I had eaten or the storm raging outside or just the shadow of my beautiful lizard lover bouncing off the walls, but suddenly I had no intention of sleeping, at least not for hours to come. I knew after tonight it would no longer be a challenge to convince Illica to come with me into a human city. Damn The Fates: Merchant And Lizard Ch. 03 Illica had stayed with me for several days as the great storm rattled the town and damaged the forests. I was glad to have the two of us in a sturdy structure with plenty of food and firewood to sustain my lizard lover and I. But that was a nearly a month ago and now it was no longer forces of nature I feared I needed to protect my lovely Illica from but something far more dangerous; The legions. For the last few days warriors of the empire had came and left my temporary home of Meridia, speaking to locals, warning travelers and scouring the forest for an evil beast that was ordered captured or killed by the local governor of the region. I knew before they even showed me the sketch that they had to be talking about my Illica. Fortunately the fates seemed to have smiled on our love lately and Illica was no longer in the forest for them to find her. I had convinced my lovely Illica to join me in town the night before the soldiers arrived and she had been hiding with me ever since. I could tell how nervous she was and how much she wanted to run from the 'bad' men (as she called them) but their patrols made that too risky. Until now. I had been on my way home when the soldiers tacked up their orders in the central market and alerted who ever they saw as to their plan. Tracks had been found leading towards the city the previous night, tracks of something large, clawed, and unnatural. It had been decided that the only likely explanation for the tracks had to be the monster they were searching for and that since it couldn't be found someone had to be hiding it. Effective at the following dawn if whom ever was hiding the creature hadn't turn it over to the authorities the soldiers would begin searching every building until they found what they wanted. Most of my fellow merchants and citizens were terrified at the thought that someone might hide such a hideous creature. I, on the other hand, was confused as to the where the set of tracks had come from since I had carefully destroyed them after she had entered town. More importantly though I was concerned not that they wouldn't find Illica like the other people but that they would. As the sun set and I returned to my temporary home for what I assumed might be the last time I stopped off at a local food vendor, purchasing enough food for a large meal for Illica and I to share before we made our escape. I was hardly prepared for what was waiting for me in the small apartment though. As I opened the door a crack and slipped inside I could feel a pair of cold, scaly hands grab my shoulders and drag me into my own room, knocking both myself and my food onto the ground. Illica had never been so agitated before but as I looked up from the floor at my attacker I began to realize her size and shape and color were wrong; It was not Illica that had attacked me but another reptilian. "RISSSRA OOOL!" Illica cried out stopping the violent snarling beast's claws only an inch from my face. My heart was beating faster then it had ever beat before and at the same time I felt ashamed that while Illica was slowly learning my language I still knew next to nothing of hers. I had no idea what she had said that had stopped my attacker or what they said afterwards. By the time my pulse began to calm Illica had stepped in between myself and the attacker seemed to be having a rather lengthy conversation with her. "Yes," I thought to myself as I eyed over my attacker, "Yes it is a her I can tell that now. She is bigger then Illica as well and looks more weary or old. Still, I'd hardly stand a chance unarmed against her if Illica fails to calm her." After some conversation Illica kneeled down next to me and with a smile helped me back to my feet. She looked at me perplexed, the same look she always gave me when she was confused or couldn't think of a word or phrase. Finally she seemed to have some idea what to tell me. "Mother!" Illica said, pointing at the new reptilian. "This is your mother?" I asked, pointing at the two of them. That would explain the size and age difference. "Yes, Illica's mother." Illica said with a smile and a nod, "Sense Ooglanas and help Illica." "Ooglanas?" I asked, completely unsure what that meant. "Ooglanas." Illica replied with a happy smile. "What are Ooglanas?" I asked more clearly this time. Illica seemed to need to think for a moment but the creature claiming to be her mother didn't seem confused at all. Pointing at her daughter she replied "Ooglana." "Yes, mother... Ooglana" Illica repeated, pointing to the other woman when she said mother and herself when she said Ooglana. "Child?" I asked. "Yes, child... Ooglana." "Ok, so she sensed you were in danger and came to help you?" I asked, pointing appropriately. "No, not sense Illica sense Ooglanas." Illica replied softly, placing her hand over the lower portion of her stomach. It took me another moment but finally I thought I knew what she meant. "Mother..." I said, pointing at Illica this time, "Children?" I asked pointing at her belly. "Yes. Sense children and come to help." I quickly found a chair to sit in as I felt my knees become weak. I still didn't know how Illica's mother could have possibly known but apparently Illica was pregnant. I was going to be a father.
