First installment here
Your obsessive, arguably needy and clingy, client is an Orc named Eoforheard (he asks you to just call him Ever) who booked you out for six months. He said that if you needed any time off for events that maybe you forgot to put up on the app not to worry about it. No, he didn't want to cancel because what if someone else tried to book you? No, no, he would just keep track of the days and you could make it up to him.
He was tall, and a little bit older. You had never thought about how Orcs who had been warriors in their lives adjusted back to civilian life. For Ever, it was hard. He was lonely, and felt isolated, which is why he reached out to the Human Pet Service in the first place. He hadn't even touched you sexually on your first visit. He had you sit as he brushed your hair, bathed you, sang songs you didn't understand. He was just a lonely, slightly older man who wanted some company. You didn't mind. Sure, not getting railed every weekend was a bit of a bummer, but he had explained he really wanted to feel less alone, and you were perfect for that.
One weekend, he was laying down with you curled up on his chest. His tusks were polished and cleaned, the one that was broken halfway down had recently been filed down smoothly to place a platinum one over it. You were starting to doze off but his voice rumbled from underneath you.
"If I didn't treat you like a pup, what pet would you be for me?"

ââł y lady, you must go now!â
    What had your world come to? And why now?
      You stand there, overwhelmed and devastated as Eunice, your personal maid, thrusts a satchel into your quivering, awaiting hands, her eyes of umber brown are widened and her lips quiver with dreadâ she was terrified, and rightfully so. She was soon to meet her end, and yet she was accepting it with ease, so much so that it made your heart thump painfully within your ribcage.Â
    Eunice was an older woman with greying, thick brown hair that usually framed her heart-shaped face perfectly, but it was now strewn about aimlessly at the top of her head in the midst of utter chaos. Her eyes were the faultless color of brown which held just the tiniest specks of hazel. Within the depths of those chocolate pools, a previously unseen emotion emerges, leaving your hands sweaty and your face pale.
    You shake your head softly at her command, clutching her wrist within your clammy hands, pulling her along with you. "Come, come with me, Eunice, let us flee together!" you beg frantically, tears streaming down your face in heavy rivulets, your mind throbbing with an impending migraine. Your watery, scared eyes make Euniceâs stomach twist torturouslyâ she who had taken care of you since you were a child, could only force a wobbly smile. Â
  Eunice's heart trembles with fear at the thought of her death. The mere concept of dying was a chilling specter that haunted her every waking moment. No one willingly wished to die. However, when it came to you, the child she had considered her own? Eunice would willingly embrace death a thousand times over if she had to.Â
  She couldn't bear to watch you die, not like this, especially when there was still a chance for you to live, to experience the pleasures of life, and perhaps even create a family of your own one day.
  With her resolve solidified, the woman firmly withdraws her arm from your grasp and gently pushes against your shoulders. âI cannot. I will stay, buy you time,â she whispers. The distant echoes of battle cries resonate in the distance, and Eunice swiftly guides you toward the concealed passage nestled within your chamber.
    "This path shall guide you to Thaos Village within three sunsets. It is my hometown, seek out Geoffrey Jill. Remember My Lady, be smart, be alert. Do not trust anyone, the Kingdom is your enemy.â Her voice trembles, yet even amidst this harrowing ordeal, she maintains her composure, selflessly offering herself as a sacrifice.Â
  Youâd always been a stubborn child, Eunice used to playfully say that you got it from your Father. He was a formidable figure, unwavering in his decisions, and she saw that same strength in you as a child.
    With glazed eyes, you looked on to Eunice with persistence. Your hands twitching at your sides to grasp at her frayed garments, wanting to tug on them with earnestness, a commemoration to the youth you once were.Â
  However, she couldn't help but wonder if she had been too sharp with you during your moments of defiance. Perhaps if she had indulged your rebellious spirit, you would've dragged her along to escape rather than sit arguing with her about it. This notion evoked a sense of self-centeredness within Eunice, as she contemplated her yearning for survival. The longing for life above all else was an inherent trait in human beings after all.
   Her throat constricts as you swallow thickly, your head nodding with a heavy reluctance. Drawing Eunice closer, you envelop her in your arms, feeling the weight of her absence already settling in your chest. âI will miss you dearly,â you whisper, your heart skipping a beat before throbbing painfully against your breast. Her delicate arms wrap around your waist, her tear-stained face seeking solace in the curve of your neck; and her tears searing into your flesh, eternally marking you. "And I, my lady, shall forever carry your memory."
 With a heavy heart, she lets out a hiccuping sob, itâs heavy and distraughtâ painful. Before abruptly pushing you into the dark passage. With a haunting intensity, she leans against the door, sealing you in. "Now go, My Lady. We shall meet again." Eunice grins, it's etched with weathered smile lines and a small dimple that imprints on the bottom left corner of her mouth, and it's gut-wrenching to see it as her final farewell to you.
 The weighty door crashes closed, its resounding echo reverberating through the air causing you to crumple onto the stony floor, tears muddying your sight and sobs wracking your body. The satchel she has given you feels leaden in your grip, its contents unknown but undoubtedly important for your survival outside the unfamiliar palace wall.
 Before you can gather yourself from your hunched position, you startle at a dull sound of noise beyond the thick passage wall. While your lips tremble with trepidation, you gently lean your ear against the door, desperately yearning to catch even the faintest whisper. And there it is, piercing through the thick barrier of the passage door - the deep resonance of your Uncle's voice, reverberating in your mind like a haunting wail.Â
  The tempest raging inside you teeters on the edge of an eruption, stoked by the ghostly memories of a man who once held a special place in your heart, a man you revered and faithfully trailed. But now, heâs the man who mercilessly slaughtered your entire family, driven by his insatiable thirst for power and a birthright that rightfully belonged to another.Â
  However, his unappeasable greed eventually caused him to become careless, and amidst the bloodbath of your twentieth name-day, Eunice found an opportunity to aid in your escape. Yet, in just a few hours, your Uncle and his soldiers managed to infiltrate your section of the palace. Eunice, informed by the guards posted near your quarters, unveiled a hidden passage to you in a last-ditch effort. Your world had crumbled in a matter of moments.
âDo not feign ignorance in my presence, woman. My niece, where has she gone?â
    You find yourself drawn back into the moment, where Eunice's unwavering silence lingers in the air. A sense of unease mixed with anticipation twists in your stomach. In an instant, a sharp sound echoes through the room, accompanied by Eunice's anguished wail. Overwhelmed, you reflexively muffle your gasp with a quivering hand, hot tears streaming down your flushed cheeks.Â
âI will ask you once moreââ His words are abruptly halted and a hush descends upon the room as if time itself has frozen. In the stillness, the piercing sound of a blade being unsheathed pierces the air, followed by the steady voice of Eunice, filled with unwavering resolve. âGo to hell.â These are the last words that reach your ears before a sickening thud echoesâ signifying her gruesome decapitation.
  The acrid bitterness of bile scorches your throat, causing your eyebrows to furrow as you suppress the urge to retch. Tears well up in your eyes, stinging like venomous drops. With a burdened soul, you inhale shallow breaths, feeling your heart pound relentlessly within your chest. Rising unsteadily, you clutch the satchel tightly to your breast, all while his voice booms out furiously, demanding, "Find her! Now!"
 Hobbling along the path, you descend into the darkness of the passage, your thoughts consumed by Eunice and the peril that awaited you beyond the safety of the palace walls. Outside the Palace, the Kingdom was a relatively foreign land to you; your parents had taken great pains to shelter you and your siblings from the outside world.
   As the eldest child, you had always harbored suspicions, for as the future ruler, it was your duty to be well-versed in the inner workings of the Jade Kingdom. But you dared not challenge their authority; after all, they were your parents. All they wanted to do was protect you. Right?
    But now, as you make your way through the dark and winding passage, you can't help but feel a sense of unease creeping over you. Eunice's cryptic message left you with more questions than answers, and you couldn't shake the feeling that something sinister was at play in the Kingdom. Your parent's secrets could now cost you your life, all because you didn't know what to expect from journeying outside.
   Shaking your head, you realize it was not the time to cast blame upon the dead; you needed to clear your mind and concentrate.
   The hidden passage leads you through a labyrinth of tunnels, its walls damp and cold. The atmosphere hung heavy with the pungent aroma of soil and mildew, suffocating your every breath. But you press on, driven by the urgency of the situation and the haunting image of Eunice's selfless act.
  As you meander through the never-ending hallway, time dissolves into obscurity, lost in the depths of darkness. But then, a delicate fragrance of flowers wafts through the air, piercing the stagnant atmosphere. The scent dances around you, a fleeting moment of clarity amidst the chaos.Â
   In this desolate and forsaken corridor, it becomes your lifeline, a glimmer of hope in the face of despair. It whispers sweet promises of safety and freedom, offering a respite from the relentless onslaught of confusion and fear. With each breath, the aroma seeps into your very being, until finally, you stumble upon a door.
  Emerging from the underground maze, you find yourself in a desolate courtyard garden, surrounded by towering walls that seem to close in on you. The sounds of battle echo through the air, growing louder and more menacing with each passing moment.Â
   The relentless ticking of time pushes you to move quickly, and with a sense of dread, you scuttle towards a weathered wooden door seamlessly melded into the formidable barrier, shrouding yourself beneath the protective embrace of your hood.Â
   You steal a final look at your home, a shiver running down your spine as itâs consumed by flames. The echoes of joy and warmth that once filled the walls now fade into the crackling of fire and the scent of smoke. The devastation grips your heart, the realization sinking in that the haven you cherished is now a haunting relic of the past. The charred remains stand as a grim reminder of what once was, a place now lost to the merciless fire. A place that was no longer.Â
  Time seems to slip through your fingers like sand as you wander along the road. Your footsteps have carried you through its endless expanse, and though it seems like an eternity since youâve started, it might have merely been a few fleeting hours. You can still see the billowing smoke of your home lingering on the horizon, the ghostly remnants of your past life looming behind you, a chilling reminder of what once was and can never be again.
 The cold breeze nips at your fingertips and cheeks, attempting to penetrate the layers of your clothing and suffocate you in its icy embrace. With rapid, heated breaths, you valiantly defy its persistent advances, feeling your bones shiver beneath your flesh as you fight to retain warmth.
  As the sun starts its slow descent, your nerves start to unravel, the fleeting warmth it provides fading away within the hour. The thought of navigating these paths in the dark filled you with unease, unsure of what creatures may be hiding in the shadows of the woods.
The sun's radiant beams gradually retreat, stretching out elongated shadows over the terrain, and a feeling of unease starts to crawl up your spine. The once comforting warmth that the sun had bestowed upon you throughout the day now dissipates, leaving behind a chilling gust of northern winds.Â
As the sky transforms into a canvas of dusky hues, the once vibrant landscape takes on an eerie stillness. The chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves are replaced by an unsettling silence, broken only by the distant hoot of an owl or the haunting howl of a lone wolf. The encroaching darkness seems to awaken fears that lay dormant within the depths of your mind.
  The road ahead appeared to stretch endlessly, its twists and turns becoming more disorienting with each passing moment. The gnarled branches of the trees reached out like skeletal fingers, casting eerie silhouettes against the sky. The once âfamiliarâ surroundings now come off as distorted and unfamiliar, as if the very essence of the oncoming night had transformed them into something otherworldly.
And though part of you wanted to keep moving, to get as far away as you could, this was not the time to be negligent and risk losing your way or, even worse, losing your life. Not when the fate of the Kingdom rested on your shoulders. Sighing shakily, you deviate off the trail and make your way into the woods, seeking refuge amidst a gathering of trees and vegetation.
The frigid ground greets you with a harsh embrace as you sit down, the cold seeping through your clothes and freezing your body further. Sorting through the hefty satchel, a rush of emotions overwhelms you when you uncover a soft wool covering, a beloved reminder of days when you were younger. As you unfurl the blanket, you lay down, finding yourself nestled on the forest ground, tucking the satchel beneath your head for a bit of comfort, and wrapping yourself up tightly to ward off the chill.
   The hushed rustling of foliage and the indelible chirping of crickets lull you into a state of eerie wakefulness. The fast-fading light seeps through the dense leaves above, casting an unnerving ray over the forest. The fragrance of pine and soil permeates your nose, pacifying your thoughts if only for a moment.Â
    However, the life of the woodland is shattered by the haunting echo of horses in the distance, the flora and fauna within the forest coming to a bone-chilling standstill. Every breath you take feels like a desperate struggle, as if the air itself is suffocating you. The trees seem to whisper warnings to each other, their leaves rustling in fear for you.Â
  You can feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end, a primal instinct urging you to flee from whatever unseen danger lurks in the darkness, but youâre rooted to the spot, unable to move as the ghostly hooves draw nearer. With a sense of anticipation, you sink further into the smothering embrace of the thick foliage, clutching your quivering legs tightly to your shivering body.
  âShe couldn't have gotten far while on foot! Spread out and find her!âÂ
    Shivers skitter down your back, it was Dominic, your Uncleâs son. The echo of his once comforting voice sends tremors down your spine, a startling reminder of the past. Who could have imagined he would also be involved in the massacre of your family? The very cousin who playfully showed you how to handle a sword, how to scale trees, and capture frogs. The very cousin who had once held a special place in your heart, akin to that of a beloved brother.
  You couldn't help but wonder what had led him and his father down this path of destruction. What demons had possessed them to betray their own family, to turn against those who had loved and cared for them? The questions swirled in your mind, but the answers remained elusive.
   The thundering hooves fade into the night, causing you to release a trembling sigh, yet you freeze at the eerie sound of a horse's whinny. âI know you're there, cousin. Your tracks have betrayed you." You stay quiet, wondering if he is testing to see if you will flee, to confirm your presence. The echo of his words fills the night air with a chilling sense of pain, it's sorrowful, and desolate as he utters again.
   âMake sure that your tracks are well-hidden and keep off the main roads. It would be wise to depart the Kingdom immediately, go as far as you must, until nay even whispers of the King's death are uttered. My father, he will never stop, he will hunt you down relentlessly, until he claims your head, cousin."
    Tears well up in your eyes, causing a sharp sting as you blink them back, your stomach knotting with anxietyâ perhaps he did know you were here. âBe smart, trust no one, for even the most innocent faces may hide ulterior motives. Stay one step ahead. You must survive if you want revenge for Uncâ the King, Queen, and Royal Highnesses.âÂ
He falls into a chilling silence, and for a fleeting moment, you swear you hear a faint sniffle. "I never wished for any of this, trust me," he whispers. And then heâs galloping away, further and further until you hear him no more. As his presence dissipates, you finally let yourself weep with sobs that darken your vision, and tears that turn frigid upon meeting your cheeks.
The weight of his words lingers in the air, haunting you as you lay alone in the darkness. The truth of his revelation slices through you, sharp as a blade, leaving you adrift and lost. You try to make sense of it all, but the pieces of the puzzle refuse to fit together.Â
   You try to shake off the feeling of despair that threatens to consume you, but it clings to you like a shadow.Â
    Reflecting on the events that led you to this wretched state, a myriad of questions plague your mind. How did the path you once tread, filled with hope and promise, veer so drastically off course? What unseen forces conspired to orchestrate this cruel twist of fate, leaving you stranded in a world of darkness and unfamiliarity? You wonder how such a sinister fate befell you. Your mind whirls in a frenzy, grappling with these haunting questions until exhaustion finally claims you, dragging you into a restless slumber tormented by blood-curdling visions.
  As the night drags on, sleep remains elusive, antagonizing you with its restless grip. It's not until the first light of dawn filters through the twisted branches above that your mind finally succumbs to sleep, allowing you a fleeting moment of respite.
As you embrace the peaceful caress of sleep, a faint sense of consciousness lingers. The real world has its challenges and griefs, however, they seem almost insignificant when compared to the terrors that haunt your dreams.Â
  If asked to choose between facing the bitterness of reality or the torment of your nightmares; you'd rather brave the acrimony of the real world over the haunting dreams of days long gone.
   Itâs when the sun reaches high in the sky that you rouse from your unfulfilling nap. But as you pry your eyes open, which are almost sealed by the bone-chilling cold of the North, you are welcomed not by the sight of frost-laden greenery or the towering yellow Cyprus tree that stood tall yesterday.
  Instead, a face is peering down at you. A countenance that has only existed within the pages of books and tales of caution.Â
 Itâs a Romog, a magical beast similar to dogs yet towering in size like battle wolves. From what you've read, Romog's are renowned for their savagery, and their prowess in combat. Their hide and sinew possess an almost outlandish thickness and strength, rendering them almost impossible to kill. Even the most seasoned of knights have stumbled in their endeavors to hunt these formidable creatures.
   And since Romog's are known for their exceptional tracking abilities, enforce wizards often form magical pacts with them to harness their talent. Their keen sense of smell and knack for locating elusive targets made them indispensable companions in the realm of magic. However, as it perched on your legs, its tongue lolling and panting deeply, you couldn't help but ponder why it had not yet chosen to devour you. ( You also guessed that your lack of chill throughout the early morning was thanks to the mutt. )
   Why was it here?Â
   Your breath hitches in your throat and you swallow thickly, a tremor dancing down your backbone. The Romog's cranium tilts to one side, its gaze overflowing with unsettling fascination before it inclines closer, its sleek tongue sinuously gliding forth to caress your cheek, the coarse texture catching at your skin.Â
  âUgh! Disgusting!âÂ
  You swiftly wipe away the wet warmth from your cheek, your upper lip curling with revulsion. The Romog, looking innocent, emits a low growl before clambering off of you, its tail wagging frantically. You observe its every movement cautiously, yet you find a morsel of comfort as it nudges you with its massive snout, darting away to perform a playful bow before dashing toward you for another gentle nudge.
   Fear dissipates in an instant, causing you to release a soft chuckle. It's evident that this Romog hadn't yet reached adulthood. Rising to your feet, you retrieve your blanket, which now feels like a thick slab of ice, and proceed to fold it as neatly as possible before tucking it away in your satchel. Throughout this process, the Romog playfully nudges your back, emitting playful yips to further lighten the atmosphere.
  Hefting the bag over your shoulder, your gaze falls to the Romog beside you. Its eyes are wide and almost pleading, and suddenly, a soft gurgle fills the air. It must be hungry â you couldn't remember if Eunice had packed you any food, but it wouldn't hurt to take a look.
  Nonchalantly discarding the satchel, you allow it to descend with a weighty thump upon the earth. You gracefully lower yourself onto one knee, slowly loosening the drawstrings. The Romog creeps nearer, its snout descending to delve into the contents of your exposed bag. With lips slightly pursed, you delicately nudge it aside, engaging in a steadfast gaze with the creature. âYou must wait, I'm trying to find you something.âÂ
  The creature emits a soft chuff. With an air of nonchalance, it raises a front leg and stretches its neck to noisily lick at its paw. You can't help but roll your eyes at the creature's audacious demeanor. Determined to find something worthwhile, you plunge your hand into the bag, rummaging aimlessly and extracting various objects, only to discard them back into the satchel as you realize their inedibility.
  Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, you find yourself in possession of a sizable portion of compacted ivory bread, its texture cold and unyielding, as if it had been shaped by the frigid gusts of the northern winds. The Romog stirs with interest at the scent of the doughy morsel, edging nearer until it is practically nestled in your lap. Its gaze meets yours, a silent exchange passing between you, without hesitation, you rend the loaf apart and fling it away into the forest.
  The beast swiftly gives chase, its insatiable appetite driving it forward. Its viscous drool, warm and thick, tenderizes the bread, rendering it more palatable. With a gentle smile, you deftly rearrange the items within your bag, securing them in their rightful places before sealing it shut. Rising to your feet, you hoist the satchel onto your shoulder once again, ready to continue your journey.
 The time of day still lingered in the early hours, urging you to press forward and cover as much ground as possible. If Eunice's information proved accurate, you would reach Thaos Village within at least three days' time. Thaos Village, as the tales tell, revered the water Goddess Euna, it was a relatively peaceful place where mages often resided before embarking on their journeys or seeking wisdom at the renowned arcane institution. It was also the birthplace of Eunice and the man youâd be meeting in only a short while.
As you gaze upon the Romog, its sharp teeth tearing into the meager offering of bread, a shiver runs down your spine, that could've been you under different circumstances. With a forced smile, you hasten your steps out of the eerie forest, eager to escape the looming darkness that surrounded you even in the morning light. Making your way back onto the trail to continue your journey to what you were hoping was safety. Â
  The frigid morning breeze froze your face, your nostrils growing numb and your mouth parched from the icy assault. Merely moments into your stroll, your ears seemed on the verge of detachment. To safeguard the remnants of your inner heat, you raise your hood and plunge your hands into the recesses of your cloak, huddling your form in an attempt to repel the gusts of the wind. The fabric provided a small barrier against the frigid wind, but it was not enough to fully protect you.
The frosty air clung to your skin, leaving a tingling sensation that bordered on pain. Each breath you took felt like shards of ice piercing your lungs, causing you to exhale in short, shallow bursts. The trees stood tall and bare, their branches coated in a layer of frost that glistened in the weak morning light.Â
   With each step, you could feel the chill seeping deeper into your bones. Your muscles tensed, your movements becoming slower and more deliberate. The cold seemed to sap your energy, leaving you feeling sluggish and drained.
  The sun's feeble attempt to break through the thick layer of clouds was met with resistance, as if the heavens themselves were conspiring to keep the landscape below in a perpetual state of desolation. Its golden beams, though they managed to pierce through the gloom, seemed almost mocking in their presence. They danced upon the barren earth, casting long, eerie shadows that stretched across the desolate terrain, and illuminated the cracked and parched ground.
   As if the sun's futile efforts were not enough, a biting wind swept through the air once more. It howled through the skeletal remains of trees, their branches stripped of leaves and their insides hollowed out.
  âsnapâÂ
 Your heart nearly leaps out of your throat when you jump, swiftly turning to locate the source of the noise. It was only the Romog from earlier, its mouth still coated in breadcrumbs. You purse your lips, fully turning to confront it, cocking your hip to the side, and crossing your arms over your chest.
  âI cannot give you anything more. I also need to eat, beast.â Â
   At your acknowledgment, the creature hastens forth to halt before you, perhaps taking your response as a cue to accompany you. Its frigid, damp snout presses against your abdomen, urging you onward to proceed. You delicately push it aside, your hands now finding solace upon your hips. âYou mustn't follow me. Now go, I can do nothing more for you.â Â
  This time it hearkens, descending into a seated posture and whimpering, its grand cranium inclining to the side. You affirm, content with your actions. "Well done, farewell beast.âÂ
   Twisting on your heels, you press forward along the trail, tucking your hands into your pockets once again to restore warmth. As you journey for a few more moments, the Romog's heavy, wheezing breaths fade away, which are loud even amidst the piercing gusts of wind.
   You were alone now, it was something you would have to get used to.Â
  Moreover, if what you read was true, untamed Romog's were labeled as âkill on sightâ in numerous regions. The creature would draw too much attention to you, and you couldn't bear to see it die.
  You've witnessed an excess of death in a brief span and the thought of being responsible for yet another one weighed heavily on your conscience. You knew that if you were to survive in this harsh and unforgiving world, you would need to adapt quickly and make tough decisions.
  You would brave this journey on your own.Â
   Or so you thought. The Romog continued to follow you.
   Concealing itself amidst the foliage each time you glanced over your shoulder, its mighty tail protruding from a tree and rhythmically thudding, inadvertently revealing its presence. Hiding itself within shrubs, but its snout, long and thick, would stick out, giving it away. Vanishing into the encompassing woodland, yet its profound, labored breaths would once more, accidentally expose its existence.
   What did it want?Â
  Halting abruptly, you inhale deeply, the frigid air chilling your lungs as you pivot swiftly, the Romog attempting to scuttle into the forest to evade your scrutiny. "Come out!" A brief silence ensues, save for the monotonous symphony of howling winds and rustling foliage atop the towering trees. The Romog emerges from its hiding spot, albeit reluctantly. Its head hangs low, ears plastered against its skull, and tail firmly ensconced between its hind legs.
   Its eyes, once filled with mischief and childish curiosity, now reflect an uncertainty. You take a press forward, your presence commanding and unwavering. The Romog takes a hesitant step back, its paws sinking into the soft forest floor.
"I will tell you once more. You mustn't follow me! âTis dangerous, for me and for you. Do you understand?"Â For a moment, you forget that you're talking to a beast and not a human, it probably didn't understand a word that you were saying. This realization causes a frown to crease your lips, your eyebrows knitting together sharply.
   As you once more assert your desire for the creature to leave, it cowers slightly, its large, sorrowful eyes gazing up at you with confusion and longing. Its body, covered in sleek, dark fur, bristles in response to your rejection. Yet, despite your firm words, it remains steadfast.Â
   With a heavy sigh, you realize that the creature has attached itself to you for reasons beyond your comprehension. Its unwavering resolution tugs at your heartstrings, even as you try to distance yourself from it. Perhaps it senses something in you, a connection that you are yet to understand. Is what you try to convince yourself, to somehow make this situation feel right.
 As you contemplate your next move, the creature finds time to sneak towards you, nudging your leg gently, its touch both cold and comforting. It emits a low, woeful sound as if pleading for you. And despite it, you find yourself softening, your resolve weakening as you look into its eyes, they're filled with such a deep despondency that it almost seems as if you were gazing into a mirror.
  Relenting with a soft huff, you crouch down to meet the creature at eye level. Its snout, still damp and frigid, brushes against your cheek, leaving a trail of icy moisture. You feel a surge of empathy, a sudden realization that this creature searches for companionship and purpose, just as you do. ( though you deny it. )
"I cannot promise you anything," you whisper. Your voice, scratchy from the icy breath of the northern frost, resonates with a delicate blend of tenderness and hesitation, because within you lies the awareness that this was a foolish idea. "If you so choose to accompany me, know that the path ahead is treacherous and filled with uncertainty. I cannot guarantee your safety nor mine."
   The creature's eyes glinted with a newfound emotion, as if understanding you and the risks involved with being your travel companion, but that was just wishful thinking on your end. It emits a soft, almost grateful sound at your words. With a gentle touch, you stroke its furry head, rising to your feet.Â
 "Then, let's keep moving."
  âPerhaps I should give you a name. It would be improper to refer to you as âbeastâ the entire time.â you state, your teeth clashing together in a frenzy. The creature walks alongside you faithfully, its massive form exuding warmth like a furnace, impervious to the icy chill of the north, a fact that you couldn't help but envy, even if just a tad. Your cloak had been breached long ago by the freezing air, and it genuinely felt as though you were treading on pins and needles, your body wracking with tremors from the cold. Â
  As the two of you trudge the frost-covered road, you rack your brain for a suitable name for the animal. Alas, you're not particularly skilled in this endeavor, and it appears that the beast is aware of this as well. "What of Charles?" You propose, the words slipping hesitantly from your lips. The being reacts unfavorably to the name, meeting your gaze and snorting in response.
   Your mouth gapes and you narrow your eyes. "Very well, perhaps I shall persist in calling you a beast! Now's not the time to be picky." The creature lets out a low rumble, its eyes narrowing in what seems to be yielding delight. It seems to understand the concept of a name, but is not easily swayed by your meager attempts at bestowing one upon it. Especially that of Charles.
   âFine, Iâll think of a better one later,â Your gaze shifts towards the sun as it begins its gradual descent, the darkness of night beginning to envelop the sky in its velvety cloak. The frigid air, already piercing, seemed to intensify, as if embracing an even colder essence.Â
 Despite this, the two of you had made remarkable progress throughout the day, and it instilled confidence in you that the village would be within reach before nightfall the next day. Although the tracks upon the nearly frozen ground had begun to fade, you had found them nonetheless, a mosaic of footprints and wagon imprints. A sign of life.
  âLet us stop for today, we mustnât be out on the road during nightfall.â The latter part of your statement is uttered softly, a reminder to yourself, and the creature joins you as you stealthily veer away from the path and venture into the encroaching shadows of the woods, its tail wagging in delight. You continue walking for a brief period until you once again find yourself amidst a gathering of trees and shrubs, placing your bag on the ground before settling down beside it. You feel almost numb, as though your body has been submerged in icy waters.
The creature settles down beside you, its warm body, thick with fur, brushing against your side, providing a sense of ease in the eerie stillness of the forest. The darkness seems to press in around you, the only sound being the rustling of leaves and the occasional hoot of an owl in the distance. You take a deep breath, trying to shake off the chill that has settled in your bones, digging into your satchel to pull out your wool blanket.
  You purse your lips and run your hand along its back, patting softly. âLucky mutt.â With slow, creaky motions you envelop the blanket around your form and awkwardly collapse, distancing yourself from the creature, head landing harshly on your bag, yet you pay no mind, you were too cold to care.Â
   The Romog stands abruptly and moves closer to follow down after you, massive frame wrapping around you. It smells of damp soil and dog and you scrunch your nose. âBy the Gods, you need a bath.â you utter, burying your face within the comfort of your blanket to escape the scent.Â
   The animal grunts, unamused at your insult, shifting away from you; and in an instant the cold envelops you, freezing the entirety of your body. Your teeth begin to chatter rhythmically, and you instinctively seek warmth by burrowing into the creature's body, no longer bothered by its scent. âP-perhaps just for tonight, yes?âÂ
  The beast snorts again and affectionately rests its large head on top of yours, tail curling around your body. You smile to yourself as the Romog nuzzles closer, its warm fur providing much-needed comfort in the chilly night. Despite the less-than-pleasant smell, you can't help but feel thankful to the creature for its unexpected aid.Â
âWhat about George?â
The gates of the Village loomed ahead, towering and sturdy, constructed from the timber of a Viloz tree. Though guards stood watch at the entrance, it appeared they paid no heed to verifying identities or trade permits. In most bustling regions, such protocols were customary to gain access within their walls.Â
   Considering your Uncle's relentless pursuit, one would expect wanted posters or even a bounty on your head. Yet, the lax security raised suspicionsâ could it be a ruse, an artifice to entice you into the open?
   You duck behind the bushes once more and look toward your companion. âAlright, Aslanâ,â the Romog grumbles at the name, and you sigh, rummaging through your bag to retrieve the final piece of bread. The name was still a matter of debate, as it seemed that no matter what name you chose, the Romog disapproved.Â
 For now, it was best to refer to it as 'beast'. You take out the stale bread and struggle to tear it in half. Placing one portion at the creature's feet, you reluctantly return the other half to your bag. "Remain here, you cannot enter the village. I will come for you later tonight if everything goes according to plan."
The Romog sniffs at the bread before tentatively taking a bite, its sharp teeth tearing into the tough crust. You watch as it devours the meager meal, its eyes never leaving you. The two of you had made good timing today and thankfully made it to the village before nightfall.Â
   The sun was drifting lower as the minutes passed but you weren't too worried about it, not when safety was within reach. Gone were the worries and anxieties that had plagued your mind just a few short days ago. The weight of the world seemed to lift, replaced by a newfound sense of security. Safety, once elusive and distant, now stood within reach, beckoning you to embrace its solace.
   Although the Romog remained oblivious to the intricate nuances of the Lomaliue language, there were instances when an inexplicable connection seemed to materialize. It was as if the creature possessed an innate comprehension of your commands and the very essence of your words. It was almost comforting in a way, akin to engaging in a heartfelt conversation with a fellow human being, albeit one who chose not to respond.
 âAlright?âÂ
   The Romog emitted another discontented growl, causing a faint smile to grace your lips. With gentle strokes, you caressed its velvety fur, which bore traces of frost from the relentless northern gusts. Although the biting chill persisted, your body had grown accustomed to its icy touch, rendering you impervious to its sting.Â
  At most, you suffered from a mild case of frostnip, far from the severe frostbite that could afflict you if you prolonged your stay in this frigid wilderness for a few more days, a constant reminder of the dangers that awaited those who dared to defy Mother Nature's limits.Â
The Romog, sensing your restlessness, nudged you gently with its snout, as if urging you to move on. With a heavy sigh, you reluctantly withdrew your hand from the beastâs fur, feeling a pang of sadness at the loss of its comforting presence.Â
   You knew that you had to continue your journey into the Village to seek shelter and warmth before the unforgiving cold took its toll on you. You needed to find Geoffrey Jill.
  Flicking your hood over your head, you venture farther from the village to a side road, so you don't look suspicious walking to the Village from the tree line. As you approached the gate, a sense of unease settles in the pit of your stomach.
  The towering entrance, constructed from the timber of a Viloz tree, its bark known to be as sharp as a blade, was a formidable barrier, separating the outside world from the safety and sanctuary within.
   Despite the imposing presence of the gates, the guards stationed at the entrance appeared strangely indifferent to their duties. They stood there, their eyes glazed over, seemingly oblivious to the comings and goings of the villagers and outsiders alike. It was as if they were mere statues, frozen in time, rather than vigilant sentinels protecting the Village.
  If what your teacher taught you about the Kingdom was right, then in most bustling regions, gaining access to a village of such importance would require strict adherence to protocols. Identification checks, trade permits, and thorough questioning were customary measures to ensure the safety and security of the inhabitants. Yet, here, it seemed that such precautions were nonexistent. Which was odd.Â
This lax security raised a myriad of suspicions in your mind. Was it possible that this was all an elaborate ruse, a carefully crafted plan to lure you into the open? After all, your Uncle had been relentlessly pursuing you, his desire to capture and kill you evident in the wanted posters that seemed to adorn every tree you and the beast had passed.Â
But for now, this seemed to be your sole option at the moment. Where else could you possibly seek refuge? Escaping the bitter cold and finding this mystery man is your top priority. The urgency of the situation left no room for hesitation or contemplation; your next move would have to wait until later.
Every step felt heavier than the last, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on your weary shoulders. The biting wind whipped against your face, numbing your senses. With a gulp, you cautiously approached the two guards, trying your best to appear nonchalant.Â
Your trembling added to the act, making it seem like you were simply a weary traveler seeking refuge from the impending winter storm that loomed ever closer. The first stick of snow to the ground usually meant a winter blizzard would follow.Â
 Your heart thudded rapidly in your chest, almost to the point of pain, as you breezed past the guards who seemed more interested in chatting with each other than actually checking credentials. And just like that, you found yourself standing within the walls of Thaos Village, your pulse still racing with the fear of your successful infiltration.
 âMother, Fatherâ I made it.âÂ
  It was only when the moon rose high in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the village, that you had finally stumbled upon Geoffrey Jill.Â
     When you wandered through the village, you were initially lost in admiration of its liveliness despite the cold weather and impending blizzard. The streets were bustling with people, their laughter and chatter filling the air, while the cozy glow of warm lights spilled out from the windows of quaint cottages. The villagers seemed undeterred by the freezing temperatures, going about their daily routines.
  The aroma of freshly baked bread and sizzling meats wafted through the air, tempting your taste buds and igniting a hunger that had long been suppressed. The colorful array of fruits and vegetables displayed in the market stalls beckoned to you, their vibrant hues a stark contrast to the dullness of your daily routine.Â
   As you meandered through the throngs of people, their laughter and chatter creating a symphony of life around you, you couldn't help but feel a sense of longing for the simple joys that seemed so out of reach.
It resembled a passage extracted from the cherished storybooks of your childhood, it was enchanting in a way. especially for you who had rarely stepped foot out of the castle. Commoner life seemed almost⌠peaceful in a way. You were fine with just walking the streets, dodging running children, and gazing longingly at the food stallsâ it had been forever since you had eaten an actual meal.Â
   "Would you care for one?"
As you snap out of your reverie, the world around you slowly comes back into focus. Your eyes meet with those of a woman in her middle age, and you are immediately struck by her captivating appearance. She possesses a round figure, exuding an air of warmth and comfort. Her delightful rosy cheeks add a touch of vibrancy to her overall countenance, giving her a youthful glow.
Her features are refined and elegant. A flat nose sits perfectly in the center of her face, adding a sense of symmetry and grace. Her full lips, slightly curved upwards, seem to hold a perpetual smile, inviting and comforting to all who encounter her. They speak of kindness and understanding, ready to offer solace or share a laugh. Her skin boasts a rich, deep umber brown, like the earth itself.
Yet, it is her eyes that truly captivate you. They are the windows to her soul, and they hold a depth that is both mesmerizing and intimidating. A flawless, all-knowing amber hue fills her irises, shimmering with a wisdom that seems to transcend time.Â
When her gaze meets yours, it feels as if she can see into the very depths of you, peering into your thoughts and emotions. There is an intensity to her eyes, an unwavering focus that demands your attention.
   You smile beneath your hood, you doubt she could see it but do so nonetheless. âOh, that's alright; I have no money at the moment,â you utter, your voice hoarse from the winter chill, and your throat parched from the absence of water and the biting cold.
    The woman grins, it's beautiful and motherly and it warms your belly better than any beverage ever could, it makes you miss your own mother a bit more; if even possible. She grabs one of the skewers and holds it out to you. âMy treat, child. Now run along and get home, the winter blizzard is coming.âÂ
     Initially hesitant, you tentatively extend your hand towards the bottom of the skewer, feeling the cold seep through your frost-nipped fingers as they slip out from under the protection of your cloak. Though she doesn't acknowledge it, the sad smile that encases her full lips tells you that she's noticed. âThank you, Iâll pay you back, swear it,â you assure her earnestly.
   She lets out a gentle laugh and gestures for you to leave, âAlright, alright, head on home.âÂ
   With a now full belly, warmed from the delicious blend of salty meat and spicy vegetables, you now search for Geoffrey Jill with a new intensity. Despite the freezing temperatures of the northern region, which seem to penetrate your very bones, you navigate through narrow alleyways and bustling food stalls without giving the cold a second thought.
    However, as night fell and the temperatures plummeted even further, your energy waned and your awe from earlier, quickly transformed into bewilderment. The once vibrant village now appeared eerie and desolate under the pale moonlight. The laughter and chatter had faded, replaced by an unsettling silence broken only by the howling wind. The cozy glow of lights had dimmed, leaving the streets shrouded in darkness.
   Despite being disoriented and having already been turned around twice, you struggled to find someone who could point you in the right direction to locate Geoffrey Jill. The few villagers you encountered were bundled up in heavy outside blankets, their faces hidden beneath scarves and hats, making it difficult to discern their features.
 Their hurried footsteps echoed through the empty streets as they scampered home, seeking refuge from the biting cold.
   You felt helpless, standing in the middle of the street.
    However, it appeared that the sight of you struggling to find your way through the village, weighed heavily on the shoulders of a man named TomĂĄs Duall. He was an elderly figure, who was reliant on a cane for support, possessed a slight hunch, and a crown of wispy white hairâ and he had offered to take you to Geoffrey.Â
  His eyes held a deep sadness, as if burdened by the weight of his past. A peculiar scent lingered around him, a mixture of smoke and a hint of sweetness, reminiscent of candy. Tomås had led you to Geoffrey, and while doing so, spoke softly of his lost love and the children he never had, his words tinged with a sense of longing and regret.
   âChild, don't follow my example. Pursue the one you desire.â
  He left you with those words as he bid you farewell at the entrance of Geoffreyâs house. Unexpectedly, you discovered a fondness for this elderly man. Despite his cheeky demeanor and tendency to give hearty pats on the back while sharing a funny story, you found him rather endearing.
 As you brought your attention back to the present, you extended your hand from beneath your cloak and rapped on the door. It's silent, causing a brief moment of panic as your heart tightens in your chest. Could it be possible that he wasn't home? Had the elderly man led you to the wrong house?
You stood there, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on you as you waited for a response. The seconds stretched into minutes, each one feeling like an eternity as you listened for any sign of life inside the house. The wind whispered through the trees, the only sound breaking the eerie silence that surrounded you.
  Swallowing thickly you knock once more. âIs there a Geoffrey Jill that lives in this home? Eunice has sent me here.â A moment of tense silence follows, the air thick with anticipation. Suddenly, the door swings wide open, revealing a large, intimidating man filling the doorway. His towering presence sends a shiver down your spine, and you instinctively take a step back, feeling small and vulnerable in his presence.
But as the door opens wider, a surprising shift in the atmosphere occurs. The sound of children's laughter fills the air, accompanied by a woman's voice, likely his wife, softly joining in the joyous chorus. The contrast between the imposing figure before you and the sounds of happiness emanating from within the house is jarring, creating a paradoxical blend of intimidation and warmth.
  âHow do you know of that name, girl?âÂ
   You startle at the sound of his deep voice, it's thunderous even over the sound of howling wind. You gaze up and then further to lock eyes with him. âShe was my nannyâ she sent me here to look for you, my UncââÂ
   âI cannot help you, go on your way.âÂ
   Your mouth drops open in disbelief and you cautiously tug off your hood, showing him your face. âDo you know who I am? â You watch as the blood drains from it, watch as his jaw clenches and his eyes flutter shut. He glances behind him before stepping outside to confront you, shutting the door behind him. âWhy has she sent you here, where is she?âÂ
Despite your best efforts, tears begin to fill your eyes. âShe...she is gone,â you murmur gently, and briefly you fear he has not caught your words amidst the roaring wind due to his profound silence. Yet, as you meet his gaze, you involuntarily recoil at his steely stare and tightly clenched jaw. "She was a foolish woman..."
   You cannot bear to hear him speak ill of her, not when she was your dearest friend, your confidante, your mother in all but blood. You feel a surge of anger rise within you, but you swallow it down, knowing that now is not the time for confrontation. As the wind howls around you, you stand together in silence, each lost in your own thoughts and memories of the woman who brought you together, even in death.
Nevertheless, he eventually breaks the silence.
"Forget whatever she may have told you. I cannot help you, you must leave," he declares harshly, turning his back on you. Your breath catches in your throat, and panic threatens to overwhelm you entirely. This couldn't be real.Â
You reach out to him quickly, your hand grasping his meaty wrist, but you recoil when he flings your hand away, glaring. "P-please, I have nowhere else to go. My Uncle will find me, I cannot die like this-- not when I've done nothing to avenge my Family!"
He scoffs at your words, his eyes cold and unyielding. "Your fate is not my concern. You made your choices, now you must face the consequences," he replies, his voice cutting through the air like a knife. You feel a surge of desperation rising within you, knowing that without his help, you are truly alone in this world. Choices? What choices? You had none. âI have a family now, and I cannot risk their lives to hide a fallen Royal.â
 What has your world come to? And why now? Why was this happening to you?
 Geoffrey goes to retreat once more and you whimper in the back of your throat, restlessly fidgeting on your feet. "Only for the night, to escape the cold," he explains, his gaze meeting yours, revealing a slight softening in his expression. At that moment, he recognizes you as just a child. With a gruff grunt, he gestures towards the side of the house. âThere is a shed, stay there. I want you gone as soon as the sun rises.â
  âYes. Thank you.âÂ
        The resounding echo of a door's closure is the only response you receive. With a heavy gulp, you suppress the tears that threaten to cascade down your face. What were you to do now? You had no place to go, there was a bounty on your head and winter was comingâ you would surely succumb to the icy grip of death before avenging your family.
   Quivering beneath your cloak, you navigate around the corner of the dwelling and chance upon the shed that Geoffrey had mentioned. Though modest in size and riddled with gaps in its wooden structure, it was better than nothing.Â
Pushing open the door, which emitted a mournful creak, you slip inside and collapse onto the floor covered in fragrant hay. As your body temperature gradually rises, shielded from the frigid northern winds, a torrent of tears breaks free, streaming down your frozen cheeks. Why you?Â
   Before the sun rose that morning, you were gone, you had slipped away unnoticed, escaping through the gates where the soldiers stood watch as stoic as ever. The bustling of the villagers as they started their day only served to highlight the emptiness in your own life. With no direction and no sense of belonging, the weight of displacement settled heavily on your shoulders.
 The icy touch of the northern winds no longer fazes you, your eyes dry and unyielding to tears, and the sensation in your feet has long faded away. You wander without purpose beside the road, your hood tattered from snagging on skeletal branches. Your mind is a foggy haze, memories slipping through your fingers like grains of sand.
   You trudge forward, your footsteps echoing in the silence of the winter wilderness. The road stretches out before you, endless and unforgiving, leading you further into the heart of the icy wasteland. But still, you press on, driven by a force you cannot name.Â
  Perhaps it is a glimmer of hope, a flicker of light in the darkness that propels you forward. Or maybe it is simply the instinct to survive, to keep moving despite the odds stacked against you.
The 'beast' had vanished from the very spot where you had last seen it. Maybe it had decided to leave, and you couldn't fault it for that. In fact, if given the chance, you would have done the same thing in a heartbeat.Â
   And although you had initially chased the creature away when your paths crossed, now you couldn't help but acknowledge the profound sense of solitude that engulfed you in its absence. It was astonishing how deeply you had connected with it, even in the mere span of two days.
   Banishing those intrusive thoughts, you shift your attention to the world around you. After trekking for what seemed like an eternity, the snow crept up to your ankles, and you were hardly able to see in front of you. The frigid air enveloped you like a thick blanket, making each step feel like wading through a sea of molasses.
   You could feel the weight of the snow pressing against your boots, making each movement a struggle. The once familiar path had become a treacherous maze, with the snow-covered trees and bushes blending in a monochromatic blur. The silence was deafening, broken only by the sound of your labored breaths and the occasional creaking of branches under the weight of the snow.
  The bitter cold gnawed at your bones, seeping through every layer of clothing. Your fingers and toes were numb, and you could feel the sting of frostbite threatening to take hold. The frigid air seemed to penetrate every pore, leaving you shivering uncontrollably.
    As the blizzard began to manifest its icy wrath, the wind surged with newfound vigor, and the temperature plummeted to depths unfamiliar to your senses. In this desolate road, the realization of your death gripped your heart, an undeniable truth that whispered through the frigid air. You were going to die.
 You slowed to a stop, and your limbs, once enfolded tenderly around your midsection, descended languidly to your sides, resembling a lifeless puppet. You were going to die. The icy grip of death or the cruel clutches of starvation awaited you. You had no place to go. The dreams of revenge that once fueled your every action now seemed distant and unattainable.
     Perhaps it was time to consider a different path, one of acceptance and surrender. Why not just meet your family halfway? You could be reunited with them if you justâŚstopped.Â
  So you did. Your legs gave way, and you collapsed, your bag slipping from your weary shoulder. As you tumbled into the snow, it welcomed you with open arms, cushioning your fall. Then you were no longer cold, no in fact you felt warm.Â
  Nestling deeper into the snow, you closed your eyes, allowing yourself to be transported to a different time and place. In your head, you saw yourself as a child, cradled in your mother's loving arms. You could almost hear her gentle humming, a lullaby- its name long since forgotten.
   The world around you faded away, and you felt yourself drifting off to sleep, the weight of your burdens finally lifted. It was a slumber that beckoned for eternity. A few moments more, and death would claim you as its own, offering you an escape from the pain and suffering that had plagued you for far too long.
   But just as you were about to surrender to sleep, a voice pierced through the darkness. It was faint at first, barely audible, but it grew louder with each passing second. "Wake up," it whispered urgently, pleading for your return. Confusion washed over you and you slowly opened your eyes, the vision of your mother fading away.
   Instead, you were met with the comforting gaze of your beast. It stood tall and formidable, its snout tenderly nudging your cheek. But you couldn't, you didn't want to go on anymore- and so, with a heavy heart, you closed your eyes once more, yearning for the eternal embrace of sleep.
It was warm you realized, almost tenderly so, the thick heat permeated every fiber of your body and it carried with it the intoxicating scent of smoke and embers, enveloping your senses in a dizzying embrace. This was no mere illusion, no figment of your imagination like the deceptive warmth you sought while nestled in the icy embrace of snow. No, this was a tangible warmth, a palpable sensation that was real.Â
  It was all-encompassing, like you were wrapped in blankets and surrounded by a huge, blazing fire. It was as though the very essence of existence had been breathed back into your body. It was as if every nerve in your body was on fire. You never wanted it to end, never wanted to return to the mundane reality of life on the run. If this were death, youâd eagerly welcome it.Â
  But it was not. You could hear the eerie sound of the howling blizzard wind and if you focused hard enough, you could discern the faintest touch of icy coldness caressing your skin from time to time, only to be swiftly engulfed by a comforting warmth. You were alive. You were alive. It shouldn't have tasted bitter on your tongue, the thought of livingâ but it did. Reality had a cruel way of creeping back in, like a thief in the night.
 Fluttering your eyes open, youâre immediately met with darkness accompanied by the faint sound of the rhythmic dripping of water. Groggily, you tilted your head towards the left, where the furious northern blizzard continued to roar with a vengeance, and you gave your weary eyes a chance to adapt to the profound darkness. After a few minutes, gradually, the feeble radiance of the moon emerged. Night had fallen.
   You could hardly think, let alone remember what happened after you passed out. Where were you? Who brought you here? And where exactly was here? All these questions but no answers. Sitting up slowly, you turn your head, scanning the surroundings with a sense of unease, the warm air wrapping you in a soft embrace, as if it were alive. Yet there was no fire to be found. No flickering flames, no glow of light, no sound of crackling firewood. Where was it coming from?
   The sound of crunching footfalls on the snow startles you and your body, overcome with a primal instinct, lurches backward, stumbling and trembling, seeking refuge against the warm cave wall. âWho is there? Have you brought me here?â Silence hangs heavy in the air, amplifying the thunderous beats of your heart, as their steps hasten and your breath becomes shallow and rapid, your chest tightening with each passing second.
   There was a high pitched whine before your Romog companion sauntered into the wide expanse of the cave. Its fur was matted with snow which seemed to twinkle like jewels in the dull moonlight. You closed your eyes and let out a soft breath of relief, resting your head against the wall, heart slowing to a soft thump.Â
  You could now vaguely remember seeing the Romog before you passed out, feeling the icy cold touch of its wet nose on your cheek. Perhaps the beast had pulled you into the cave before the weather could truly put you out of your misery.Â
    A nudge on your neck makes you open your eyes, gaze slanting to the right to look at the animal. Its eyes are familiar and warm, it leaves your heart to somersault lazily in your ribcage. You smile small and reach out to run your hand along its jaw. âWhere have you been?âÂ
   Thereâs obviously no reply but the beast cuddles its large head into your lap and rumbles contentedly, eyes falling shut. You breathe out a sigh and caress through its wet fur, once again resting your head on the warm cave wall. With a little bit of the security you had, now that the Romog was here, you took the time to scan the cave.
  It's massive, and if the warm draft is anything to go by, it's quite deep as well. The constant but faint sound of dripping water also hints at some type of lake or stream within the caveâ your mouth salivates at the thought of water sliding down your parched throat. It had been days since you'd last had anything to drink.Â
   And despite how paranoid it might've sounded, this cave felt strangely, lived inâ it didn't seem abandoned in the slightest, but you also felt safe. In the state that you were in, it wouldn't be wise to roam and explore the cave just yet. However, when you have the energy to go do so, you will.Â
    But for now? You would sleep once more. Â

đ´MATURE CONTENT WARNINGđ´
(not this chapter but overall)
Series Masterlist
He hummed. âYou said you left because⌠you wanted freedom from that?â
I was quiet. âJust⌠freedom.â
The pain is so clear in your voice that it makes his heart ache.
âAnd have you found it? Freedom?â
âIââ
Have I? Or am I just running?
âI donât know yet.â
Thrall picks up on the uncertainty in your tone, your words almost a whisper. Without thinking, he reaches out and takes your hand, fingers rubbing absentmindedly around your knuckles, tracing patterns and shapes. Even this simple touch is strangely intimate.
Thereâs a few minutes of silence as he mulls everything over. Everything he has learned about you in the past couple of hours. "Can I ask you something?"
My eyes find his in the darkness. âOf course.â
âDo you⌠do you think about going back?â
âNo.â My answer is quick, sure.
âWhy?â
My eyes drift closed again. âThereâs nothing there for me. Just expectations. A future with someone Iâll never love, a family that doesnât understand me⌠thereâs no joy there.â
A/N- Hey, freaks! After a little encouragement, I'm going to try and post my little orc x human novella thing here. I am objectively bad at writing so don't be afraid to give me feedback! And I'll be honest with you, this first chapter doesnt have any smut but I swear it's coming lmfao
I had to stand on tiptoe to reach the bar, gripping the heavy mug in both hands as I shuffled toward a seat near the fire. The tavernâs warmth wrapped around me like a blanket, a stark contrast to the snow outside. I collapsed into the chair with a sigh, leaned my staff against the wall, and settled in.
"Evening."
My book nearly slipped from my lap as I jumped, startled by the deep voice. An orc loomed beside me.
"O-oh. Evening," I stammered, glancing at him briefly before returning to my book.
He chuckled and leaned casually against the wall. "What are you reading?"
âFlora of the Southern Isle. Just trying to get familiar with the region," I replied with a small smile, hoping he didnât think I was nervous because he was an orc. I was just... anxious.
"Interesting. Healer?" He wasnât a reader himself, but it was the easiest thing he could think of to start a conversation.
"I⌠dabble. In healing. Among other things."
He gave me a once-overâshort, delicate hands, a staff. "You seem young. Been doing this long?"
My fingers found the end of my braid, twirling itâa nervous habit. "A few weeks. Itâs slow work on short legs."
He smirked. "Short legs indeed." You looked human enough, but you were just so damn small. "How old are you?"
"Twenty-six."
His eyebrows shot up. "You look younger. Halfling blood?"
I laughed. "Somewhere along the line, yes. At least, thatâs what my mother blames for my lack of height and thick middle."
He snorted, settling into the seat beside me. "Whatâs wrong with a thick middle?" He patted his own broad torso.
"If she had her way, Iâd be as narrow as a broom handle," I said dryly. "What about you? Not many orcs this far north." I let my eyes trail over him. The sleeves had long since been ripped from his tunic, leaving his tattooed arms bare save for the metal bands adorning them.
He took a sip from his mug. "Just a traveler. Not much else to say, I suppose."
I raised an eyebrow. "Traveling to travel?"
"Just traveling to travel," he replied, nodding. "Iâve got no business, no one to go home to, nowhere I belong. I just⌠wander. Explore."
"That sounds⌠lonely."
A flicker of pain passed across his face. "It is. But what else is there to do?"
I tucked my book away and brought my legs up on the chair. "Could always be lonely surrounded by others."
"Fair point." He chuckled, watching me settle. "Whatâs your name?"
There was a moment of hesitation before I answered. "Annora. And you?"
"Thrall. Donât let my size scare you." He winked, a smirk settling on his face.
I had to laugh again. "Most everyone is big to me."
He grinned, a hearty sound rumbling in his chest. "You are quite the little thing."
"The farther south I go, the smaller I feel," I joked.
"And why would a little girl like yourself want to make her way into dangerous southern territory?"
I hummed, trying to think of a simple explanation. "Just⌠the need to get away from an arrangement."
He raised a brow. "What kind of arrangement?"
My nose wrinkled. "Marriage. To an idiot who can't rub two brain cells together and likes to use a heavy hand."
Anger flickered in his eyes. "Not fond of the idea, I take it?"
I huffed. "Obvious, isnât it?"
Thrall let out a soft laugh. "Yes, itâs very obvious." He eyed me as he took another drink. "Do you have your own room for the night?"
"A room? No. I don't normally take one. I prefer to be outside." I took another hefty gulp of my own drink.
"Youâd rather sleep outdoors than on a bed?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Youâre either one tough girl or youâre truly insane."
"If you asked my mother, she would choose the latter."
"Your mother might be a wise woman," he joked. "Are you sure you want to sleep outside?" There was a note of concern lacing his tone.
"Worried about a stranger already?" I teased.
"Just a little worried about the small thing who canât handle her ale," he teased back, noting the red flush gathering in my cheeks.
A scoff puffed out of me. "Well now, that is quite the assumption! I can handle my ale just fine!"
"Prove it."
Unfortunately, I was physically incapable of backing down from a challenge.
Fortunately, Iâd learned to drink from the best of them.
Taking the mug in my hands, I downed it while never breaking eye contact, then slammed the tankard back against the table.
"Impressive," he admitted. "And youâre not the least bit dizzy?"
I laughedâmaybe a bit louder than necessary. "Not in the least."
"Stubborn and cocky. Dangerous mix. You really do plan to sleep outside in the middle of winter, don't you?"
"Yep."
He shook his head. "Youâre unbelievable," he muttered as he stood, taking my bag from me, dangling it just out of reach as I laughed.
"Excuse you!"
"Yes?" His voice was teasing, feigning ignorance of the situation.
There was a tap on my shoulder, and I turned to find a man behind me. "Excuse me, miss, is this creature bothering you?"
Thrallâs expression darkened. "Weâre talking."
I turned to the man, hands finding my hips. "Did your mother teach you to be rude or is that a skill you developed on your own?"
He gaped at me. "Heâs clearly harassing you."
"Quite the opposite, sir. You are being an ass, and I find that quite bothersome," I shot back.
His eyes narrowed. "What did you call me?"
"An ass,â I repeated, taking a challenging step forward.
He snarled, "Why, you little bratâ"
Before he could lunge, my staff was in my hand and it connected with his head with a loud thump. "Maybe you need to be taught some manners!"
He let out a yelp of pain, stumbling back a few paces. "How dare youâ"
Thrall stepped in front of me, cutting him off and placing a restraining hand on my shoulder. "I think thatâs enough."
"Youâre lucky this savage is here!" the man shouted.
"Youâre lucky I didnât hit you with something harder," I hissed in reply.
He sneered, voice dripping with sarcasm. "Oh sure, a few more hits from your little stick and Iâll be on the ground."
Thrallâs grip around my shoulder tightened as I tried to lunge forward. "You can meet me outside and weâll see whoâs on the ground, you half-baked waste of ale!"
The man was now livid, his face red with anger. He clearly didnât appreciate being talked back to by someone like me.
"Oh, youâd like that, would you?"
Thrall was still holding me by the shoulder, keeping me from jumping at the man.
"Youâre nothing but a scared little girl. Youâd get knocked out in one hit if you werenât hiding behind some beast." His confidence was clearly rising.
"Outside," I growled, smacking the orcâs hand with my staff. I earned a surprised look from Thrall as he snatched his hand back and a mocking laugh from the jackass in front of us.
"You want to go outside? Letâs go."
I grumbled as I stalked toward the door, followed by the mouthy asshole and a few other patrons itching to see what happened.
The tavern buzzed with murmurs as we stepped outside. The man sneered, circling me.
"You really think you can win?"
"You really think you can think?"
His smirk twisted into a snarl. "Iâm going to enjoy this."
My hand covered my mouth as I pretended to yawn, leaning against my staff, letting him have his little moment.
"You must be stupid to not fear me," he growled as he lunged forward.
"Nah." I planted my feet and pulled on some power from the cold ground, letting it fill my body before whirling the staff and landing another blow to the side of his head, sending him sprawling into the snow, unconscious.
Thrall let out a whistle of appreciation and started clapping his hands slowly.
I turned to the orc, hand in the air for my bag as the crowd murmured behind me.
He returned my pack, eyes wide. "Never seen anyone so small take a man down like that."
"Iâm not like most people," I grumbled, tugging on my cloak and heading into the woods.
Shaking his head, he started after me. "That youâre not, little one."
Thrall walks beside you in silence for a few minutes before speaking. âYou did well back there.â
I canât help but grimace. âI can hold my own when the need arises.â
He follows as you move deeper into the woods, watching your hands brush against the trees until you stop before an old oak. You press your forehead to the bark, and a deep hum resonates through the ground, raising the hairs on his arms.
I smile as I step back. The older trees always have such generous energy to share. Gripping my staff in both hands, I plant it firmly into the earth. Power flows beneath me, and I guide itâroots twisting, limbs bending, snow cascading from the canopy as a shelter begins to take form from the living wood. The oakâs power is practically singing through my veins as I finish, my skin tingling as I break the connection.
Thrall watches, transfixed. In all his years, heâs seen many thingsâbut nothing quite like this. He circles the newly formed structure, awe evident in his expression. âThis is incredible.â
He turns to you, eyes wide with wonder. âHow did you do this?â
âEarth magic,â I say simply.
He frowns, repeating the phrase incredulously. âEarth magic?â The concept is foreign to himâpower pulled from the ground itself, both fascinating and a little terrifying.
âWell, thatâs what I call it.â I grab my pack and toss it inside. âI draw energy from the earth. The staff helps focus it, but I donât need it to channel.â
He still looks puzzled. âYou can control the earth? Just like that?â
âYes, well, more or less.â I step into the shelter, placing a hand on the trunk. âThis old beauty holds a wealth of energyâand gave me permission to use it.â
He remains at the entrance, hesitant. âPermission? You ask the trees?â
âItâs the polite thing to do,â I reply, as if itâs the most normal thing in the world, while rummaging through my pack.
âAnd they always say yes?â he asks, peering in.
âGods, no.â I chuckle, smoothing my bedroll on a shelf woven from roots. âBut this areaâs kind to its woods. They're more amenable.â
Thrall watches, still trying to wrap his mind around you. âYou said the staff wasnât necessaryâbut it helps?â
My smile turns a little wistful. âYes. It was a gift.â
His gaze shifts to the staff. âMay I see it?â
I passed it to him. His large hands explore the smooth wood reverently.
âThereâs a willow near where I grew up,â I explained. âI used to practice beneath her branches after...â I trail off. âThe staff was her gift.â
He smiles at the picture. âA wise old willow, letting a curious young girl play beneath her branches. Sounds like a storybook.â
âAre you heading back to the tavern?â I ask abruptly.
âUh, no.â He shakes his head. âWhy?â
âYouâre welcome to stay here, if you like.â
He blinks, surprised. âYouâre offering to let a total stranger sleep in your tree shelter?â
I shrug. âYouâre not much of a stranger anymore. Youâre welcome to stay.â I gesture to the shelf-bed formed from twisted roots.
He considers you carefully, eyes scanning the space. âYou sure? Meâan orc? Big, scary?â
My face scrunches. âBig, yes. Scary, no.â
âOh?â he asks, folding his arms and leaning against the tree. âYou donât find me scary?â
âYou havenât given me a reason to be scared.â
âBut Iâm an orc. Donât I look intimidating?â He gestures to himself. âSeven and a half feet tall, covered in scars, belt full of knives?â
âWould you be offended if I said no?â
He laughs, a low rumble. âNot offended. Just curious. Why not?â He asks, tilting his head to the side as he looks down at you.
I tilt my head, mirroring his. "I find judging upon someone's looks to be a silly way to determine anything."
His smirk softens. âFair. Thereâs more to a person than their appearance. So what do you judge by, then?â
I let the question roll around in my head, fingers finding the end of my braid again. "Kindness. Emotional maturity.â
He nods slowly. âGood choices.â His gaze lingers on you. âYou say Iâm not intimidating, but the things Iâve done in battle would frighten you.â
I wave a hand. âYour past is your problem. Iâm looking at who you are now.â
Thrall raises an eyebrow. âAnd what do you see?â
I hum thoughtfully. âWell, you took initiative to defend me despite our brief acquaintance, you did not let that useless oaf's words goad you into a fight, and-â I pause, smirking. âYouâre quite handsome.â
âYou think Iâm handsome, huh?â He grins, arms folding again.
I give him a once-over. âIâm short, not blind.â
His laugh fills the shelter. âAh, I see. So now that we've established that I'm not that scary, and apparently you find me handsome, perhaps I can ask a question?"
âBy all means. Iâm an open book.â
He chuckles. âAn open book, huh? Well, then.â He leans closer. âYouâre out here alone, and you just invited me to stay. Arenât you worried a big, muscular, supposedly handsome orc might take advantage of that?â
I laugh loudly. âI see the complimentâs already gone to your head. I could have you on your ass in seconds.â
âSays the tiny woman.â He smirks. âYou think you could take me down?â
Suddenly, roots shoot up around his ankles, coiling tightly. He startles, tugging at them to no avail. âWhat theâ?â
âEasy peasy,â I say with a smug grin.
His surprise turns to grudging admiration. âA little warning next time?â
"Ah, but it's more fun this way." I laugh, easing the roots back to their home underground.
âYouâre a cheeky little thing,â he mutters, rubbing his ankles. He looks up with a half-smile. âSo⌠youâve got me at your mercy, huh? Gonna keep me tied up all night?â
âOnly if you ask nicely.â I tease, rummaging through my bag again.
âAnd if I donât ask nicely?â
"Then don't give me a reason." I pull an apple from my bag and a knife from my boot.
âIâll keep that in mind, little one.â He leans back, watching as I slice the fruit. Despite himself, heâs intriguedâby your magic, your confidence, and your complete lack of fear.
I hold up a slice of apple in offering, lost in my own thoughts. Our fingers brush, and something unfamiliar sparks in the space between us.
âDo you often invite strange orcs into your tree?â he asks.
âNo. Youâre the first stranger to share my tree with me.â
His brows quirk up. âNo one else ever shared it with you?â
"Well-â I cut off another slice of the apple before I finish. âNobody has ever followed me into the woods before.â
His brow furrows. âYou mean you wander around out here all alone?â
I scoff. âYou sound surprised for someone who travels alone!"
âSure. But youâre so⌠small. You're not exactly an intimidating figure.â
âAnd what would you suggest, oh wise traveler?â I drawl.
He pretends to think it over. âA companion. Preferably large. Possibly intimidating.â
âWhy, Thrall.â I press a hand to my chest. âAre you asking to be my travel companion?â
âAnd what if I am?â he asks, amused.
I set the apple and knife aside with a smile and yawn. âThen Iâd probably say yes.â
âYouâre a bold little thing, aren't you?â
Another yawn escapes me. âWould you rather I said no?â
Thrallâs expression turns serious. âNo. Iâd rather you be honest.â
His tone draws me upright. âIf Iâm honest... yes. Iâd like some company. The days can be exceedingly long.â
He seems genuinely surprised. âYou would? Really?â He asks, his tone betraying an underlying sense of hopefulness.
âYou sound surprised." I reply, raising a curious eyebrow.
Thrall chuckles, his expression softening. "I am. You're just so..." He pauses, trying to find the right words. "... Different from the people I'm used to." He finally says, tilting his head as he examines your face in the dim light.
âDifferent how?â
"You're not afraid of me. Most people...no, all people are afraid of me. But youââ He pauses, gaze locked with mine. âYou invited me in. Offered to let me sleep beside you. I still canât wrap my head around that. Who does that?â
I shrug, still not understanding his confusion. âBecause⌠you havenât given me a reason to be afraid.â I repeat my earlier sentiment.
Thrall raised an eyebrow. âNo reason, huh? Iâm an orc, little one. One youâve just met. Iâm over a foot taller than you, near twice your size, tusks and all. Any of that ring any bells?â
âThat ass at the tavern gave me reason to distrust him in one sentence,â I replied. âYouâve been nothing but kindâeven stood up for me. And I think the tusks are interesting.â I shrugged. âSue me.â
âInteresting, huh?â Thrall chuckled. âTusks are interesting?â
âAre they sharp?â
âMy tusks?â
âNo, your toes.â I rolled my eyes. âYes, your tusks.â
âTheyâre sharp enough. Wanna see for yourself?â he asked, a smirk tugging at his lips.
I hesitated. âThatâs not like, wildly inappropriate or something?â
Thrallâs smirk deepened. âItâs not. Go on. Have a feel.â
He sat on the ground, suddenly very close. His eyes were a deep, stormy blue I hadnât noticed before.
âDonât be shy,â he coaxed, gesturing to his tusks.
I reached out slowly, pausing as he watched me, then let my fingers trail over one.
My touch was light, but it made him freeze, his smirk softening into a crooked smile. âWhat do they feel like?â he asked, his gaze flicking between my hand and my face.
âLike teeth, I guess.â I ran my finger along the point. âNot as sharp as I thought.â His eyes were locked on me now, studying my expression.
âHow sharp did you think theyâd be?â he asked, his voice low, rougher.
âI⌠Iâm not sure.â My cheeks warmed. âCan you feel when theyâre touched?â
âYes. Theyâre⌠sensitive.â
âCan I ask something?â
He swallowed. âAsk away.â
My voice is still soft. âWhat are they for? Are they just for show?â
Thrall hummed, trying to steady himself. âThey serve a few purposes.â He cleared his throat. âProtection. Dominance. Self-defense. Intimidation.â
I nodded. âMakes sense.â
He didnât look away. The moment suddenly felt intimateâfragile. âAnything else youâre curious about?â he asked before he could stop himself.
I looked down, suddenly shy. âIâve seen others with adornments on them. Metal bands and such?â
âTheyâre used to show status, loyalty, achievementsâŚâ He hesitated. âAnd for⌠other purposes.â
I looked back up at him. âOther purposes?â
He met my gaze, clearly embarrassed. âYes... You see, an orc's tusks... They're uh...." He struggles to find the right words, his tongue suddenly thick in his mouth.
"An orc's tusks are, umm... sensitive." He finally manages, cheeks now definitely red as he finally gets the words out.
"Sensitive...?" I repeat, my curiosity piqued. "How so?"
âWell... They're kind of like⌠erogenous zones, shall we put it?" He mumbled, flushing deeply.
My eyes went wide. âAnd you just let me touch them?!â
âYes. And youâre not repulsed or⌠freaking out.â
âI am freaking out a little!â I squeaked.
âWhy? Arenât you disgusted?â
"No, I'm not disgusted! Just... flustered!!" My hands fan my overheated face.
Thrall grinned. "Flustered?" He asks, leaning forward a bit. "You're flustered? Because of me?"
âYou wipe that shit-eating grin off your face!â
The bastard's smile just gets bigger. âOr what? Gonna hit me with your little stick?â
âDonât tempt me.â I grabbed my knife and apple again, taking an aggressive bite.
"You're quite violent for such a tiny little thing." He teases.
 "Perhaps it's because I'm a âtiny little thingâ."
Thrall snorted. âYouâre cute, you know that?â
I glared. âFlattery will get you nowhere, Thrall.â
His hands raise in mock surrender, smile never faltering. "I wasn't trying to flatter you, I was just stating a fact. I think you're cute." He says, shrugging.
I rolled my eyes, the heat in my cheeks betraying me. âSure. Iâm sure you find all small things cute.â
âSmall things in general, sure. But youââ He paused, his grin turning sly. âYouâre more than just cute.â
âYou⌠stop that.â
âOr what? You gonna hit me with your knife? Or your apple core?â
Neither. Instead, I silently asked a branch to flick him on the back of the head.
Thrall jerked. âHey!â He rubbed the spot. âDid you do that?â
âOh no, definitely not me.â I said innocently, stuffing the last of the apple into my mouth.
"You know, you can be quite bratty, you little thing." He grumbles, still rubbing the back of his head where the branch hit him.
My scoff is only marginally sarcastic as I clean my knife, stuffing it back into my pack. "I think I may take offense to that."
âYou mayâbut itâs true. Bratty. And small.â He poked me lightly.
I gasped in mock offense. âMaybe Iâm bratty because you keep calling me little all the time!â
âOh, sorry. What should I call you instead? Tiny? Petite? Cute?â
âYou could try using my name? Or should I call you âObnoxiously Tall Oneâ?â
Thrall feigns offense, putting a hand dramatically over his heart. "I am wounded! And I'm not obnoxiously tall. You're just obnoxiously small."
I laughed, yawning mid-chuckle. âIâm not that short of where I come from.â
âMaybe. But to me, youâre tiny. Tiny, bratty, and apparently sleepy.â
"Maybe I'm just tired from a long day. Being little means a lot of work." I mutter, crossing my arms in defiance.
âYou look tired,â he said, voice gentling. âYou should rest.â
I snuggled into my cloak. âYou should too.â
He nodded. âYeah⌠probably. Uh⌠where do I sleep?â
I patted the shelf of roots beside me. âI think I made it long enough for both of us.â
âYouâre sure itâll hold?â
I patted the tree. âSheâs a sturdy ol gal. She can handle it.â
He looked between me and the tree, skeptical. âYou keep calling it âshe.â You sure?â
I yawned again. âSome plants are male, some female, but most are monoeciousâboth parts.Â
They can either have both types of flowers on one plant or the flowers are bisexual, all in one type thing."
"And.... you can tell just by looking that it's a female?" He asks, his gaze shifting to the tree.
"No, I asked. Oaks are monoecious. She can do it all on her own. She just happens to prefer female pronouns."
Thrall's eyebrows furrow."You... asked? You asked which pronouns the tree preferred?" He asks, a slightly incredulous look on his face.
âItâs the polite thing to do.â
"You are the most unique person I have ever met," He says, looking at you. "Asking a tree which pronouns it prefers... And getting an answer..." He shakes his head lightly, the concept hard for him to understand.Â
Thrall steps closer to the tree, looking up into its branches. "Hello, tree." He says hesitantly, not sure what to expect.
I giggle. "She likes you."
"She... likes me?" He asks, his gaze shifting to look down at you as he tries to wrap his head around the possibility.
I lean over, grabbing my staff. "Here, let me try something." I shift a little closer. "Hand," I instruct.
He hesitated, then placed his hand in mine. I wrapped it around the staff, placing both of mine over his. Magic surged through it, rushing into him. I laughed as the treeâs energy sparked.
His eyes widened, muscles tensing. âWhat isâwhatâs happening?â
Iâm grinning like a fool. âDo you feel it?â
âIâyes. I feel it. Itâs⌠incredible.â
âOh!â I blushed, still laughing.
He stared at me, his heart pounding. âWhat was that?â
I pulled my hands away, ceasing the flow of energy. âThat was a tree being cheeky.â
âCheeky? The tree? That... doesn't make any sense." He rubs a hand across his face. "...Wait. You're saying the tree did that on purpose? I thought you were controlling it."
âNope.â I set the staff down, cheeks warm. âShe⌠liked what she saw.â
Thrallâs jaw dropped. âShe liked what she saw?â
I looked away. âShe admired your⌠assets.â
He blinked. âMy⌠what?â
My cheeks are heating again. âYou know what? Letâs just go to sleep.â
There is obvious skepticism on his face as he gingerly sits, the root-bed groaning under his weight as he shifts and lays down. The stars peeked through the branches above.
"I uh... I've never shared a bed before." He mumbles, the words leaving his mouth before he could think about what he was saying.
âI find that hard to believe,â I murmured.
Thrall chuckles softly, shaking his head. "Believe it or not, it's the truth."Â
Silence. Crickets.
âHave you ever shared a bed with someone?â he asked.
âAn arranged marriage since childhood doesnât leave much room for cuddling up in bed with someone.â
He hummed. âYou said you left because⌠you wanted freedom from that?â
I was quiet. âJust⌠freedom.â
The pain is so clear in your voice that it makes his heart ache.
âAnd have you found it? Freedom?â
âIââ
Have I? Or am I just running?
âI donât know yet.â
Thrall picks up on the uncertainty in your tone, your words almost a whisper. Without thinking, he reaches out and takes your hand, fingers rubbing absentmindedly around your knuckles, tracing patterns and shapes. Even this simple touch is strangely intimate.
Thereâs a few minutes of silence as he mulls everything over. Everything he has learned about you in the past couple of hours. "Can I ask you something?"
My eyes find his in the darkness. âOf course.â
âDo you⌠do you think about going back?â
âNo.â My answer is quick, sure.
âWhy?â
My eyes drift closed again. âThereâs nothing there for me. Just expectations. A future with someone Iâll never love, a family that doesnât understand me⌠thereâs no joy there.â
Thrallâs heart twisted. He feels the need to offer comfort, to fix the pain he can hear... so he does the first thing that comes to mind. He shifts, gently tugging at your hand.
"Can I hold you?" His voice is soft, a whisper in the dark.
I hesitated, then nodded.
He pulled me gently into his arms. I fit against himâ like I was meant to be there, his warmth irresistible.
Thrall lets out a soft sigh, hand moving to run over your head as it's tucked under his chin.
I relaxed, letting out a small yawn.
His other hand found my chin, lifting my face. âCan I⌠tell you something?â
I blinked sleepily. âHmm?â
He brushed a strand of hair from my cheek, voice barely audible. âYouâre fascinating.â
The words fall from his mouth before he can stop them.
Even half-asleep, my cheeks burned. And I can't help but bury my face in his chest.
He held me tighter, breathing in the scent of my hair, heart thudding with fierce protectiveness. He's lost in his thoughts when your voice drifts up to him, low with sleepiness.Â
âThrall?â I whispered.
âYeah?â His voice rumbled low against me.
âPromise me something?â
âAnything.â
âPromise me youâll stay with me tomorrow. Promise you wonât leave me.â
Alone.
Silence again. Just the sound of both of us breathing.
He held me closer, his voice thick. âI promise.â
And as I drifted off, he stayed wide awake, arms around me, murmuring into my hairâ
âIâll keep you safe.â

Gilgamesh x Female Reader | Devour you
Cw - Noncon/Rape, cunnilings, fingering, squirting, stalking, breeding, two cocks, gil is his own warning, drugging & drugged sex, kidnapping, vaginal penetration, biting, monsterfucking, gil is his own warning he's an ass, 3.1k words.
Smut below the cut, and there's my ao3 â¤ď¸(formatted better there. Tumblr is confusing me)
This is my 1st publicly uploaded fic lol, give me valid criticism
Made with the appearance & personality of caster gil in mind. But interpret any gil u want!
Perhaps it would be a bad idea to go venturing alone into the disgusting, hot swamp located near your home. Sadly, your situation calls for it. The village you reside in is in desperate need of food, no matter the quality. Women, men, and children alike are constantly sent out to gather whatever scraps they can find. You step carefully on the soft wet ground, cringing at the squish under your boots. You don't want to risk falling into the murky water. The sun beats down your body, making you feel miserable with the gear you have on. Stopping, you survey the area and force yourself to remember your task.
To find cattails, fish, or some type of meat that will keep your family full for some days. "This place fucking stinks..." You grumble, trudging along. You look up as you approach some kind of forest, rich with thick, tall trees. Of course, you decide that it's the best direction to head in. Thirst and exhaustion have already begun to take root in your body. Alas, you need to preserve water and can't afford to waste time resting. There's also a weird smell in the air. Yiu can't place it, but it makes you uneasy. Even worse, you've been wandering around for what felt like hours, with little luck. How is there no food in this place? You lean against the nearest tree trunk, gathering yourself.
When you first came here, you at least found some cattails. Keyword, some. It's strange because cattails are known for their tendency to grow in large groups. You stare at the plants in your hand, humming softly. Overthinking and panicking over something so small must be the environment and intense smell getting to your head. The smell.Right, when did it get so strong? You stand straight, nausea making you dizzy. The back of your neck tingles, as if someone is behind you. Next time you leave the house, it will be with someone. You take out your canteen of water, drinking deeply. Time to leave this area."Is that what you're doing, you fool? Scavenging for food in someone else's home?"
Your blood runs cold. A male laugh comes from above. His voice is arrogant and cold. At this moment, you realize that the smell is coming from him. It's overwhelmingly strong.He smells of an assortment of spices and strangely, a metallic smell that's faintly sweet."How interesting. Is this what humans have come to?"You nervously look up, greeted by a sight that makes you hold your breath. Smooth golden blonde hair, framing a face that would make you weak under different circumstances. His eyes are a deep crimson red, and his gaze makes you feel like he can see right through you. His most notable feature, though, is his thick, long, scaly tail. A pretty gold, with swirling lines of red decorating it. You step back. "W-what are you?"
"Who gave you permission to gaze upon me? Let alone, speak?" Your eyes are off him in an instant, slowly backing away. This can't be real, right? Monsters don't exist, so you must be hallucinating from the heat. He's obviously not real. Just walk away and continue your search. That's all that needs to be done. "And who told you to move?" You freeze. He sits up, watching you closely. He slithers down the tree gracefully, distracting you from running. Leaving. The smell of him snaps you out of your trance, stumbling back haphazardly."Stay away from me! Why are you here?" This definitely isn't a hallucination. Now that he's closer, you realize just how big he is. He's radiating warmth.Fuck.His eyes narrow. "You say this as if I am the intruder here. This is the territory of me, Gilgamesh." you step on a soft patch of grass, nearly slipping.
He only draws closer, your heart starting to pound faster. "Who exactly are you, little human?"Your feet act before "Gilgamesh" can get any closer.You're sprinting, thoughts of falling or slipping escaping your mind. Your feet pound against the wet grass in your desperate attempt to escape. Your gear is heavy on you, but you can't afford to stop.What would that thing do to you if that thing caught you? No, don't think about it. Just *stop* thinking altogether. You need to focus on breathing and moving.In, out. Right foot, left foot. Keep going forward, and don't stop.Just keep running, and your way out will-Suddenly, that comforting pattern was violently put to a stop.Your torso is tightly squeezed by the thick, pretty tail you were admiring mere minutes before. You wheeze, the sudden pressure forcing air out of your lungs."Why do mongrels like you think they can get away from a being of my caliber?"
The man scoffs, drawing closer until you feel his chest press against your back. His breath is strangely hot, and his musk overwhelms you."P-please, I don't want any trouble. I just need to feed my family. I'll be gone before you know it, so -"
"Food shouldn't speak. Stay quiet." A cold shiver runs through your body. Food? After all your hard (debatable) work, you're being reduced to some freak of nature's meal? A nightmare, that's what this has to be. Before you can pity yourself or try to reason with him to let you go, Gilgamesh's sharp fangs sink deep into the skin of your shoulder. Pain. To Dizziness. Followed by a strange sensitivity that sends tingles up your spine. Your mind goes blank, eyes suddenly heavy. You groan, pushing weakly at the arms that wrap around your waist.The last thing you feel is his tongue licking a long stripe up your cheek.
âĄâĄ
When you come to your senses, you're pinned beneath a familiar body, your gear discarded, leaving you in your plain clothes. Your eyes widen as the strange man's tongue is shoved into your mouth, greedily sucking on your tongue, while forcing thick liquid down your throat.Your immediate protests are swallowed by him, who is seemingly enjoying your struggle. You can't even turn your head an inch with his iron grip on the back of your head.After several seconds, he pulls back with what you assume is pale gold saliva dripping from his mouth. You gasp for air, scrambling away as soon as he's off of you."Ah, my venom wore off rather quick."Gilgamesh hums softly, his sharp nails digging into soft grass.
You tremble against the wall of leaves behind you. Your vision is slightly blurred, and your body feels sluggish. Slowly taking in your surroundings, you realize you're in a den of sorts. It's big, spacious, and smells only of him. There are many different types of golden ornaments and other precious treasures littered throughout his "home." Despite where he lives, he owns many modern things. But his home or lifestyle isn't your main issue.You're starting to feel strange. Suddenly your clothes are too tight, too hot. Your vision blurs further. And worst of all, there's an agonizing ache starting to build in your lower tummy.
You feel feverish, almost."Hm, it took a bit to kick in," Gilgamesh muses, red eyes following you carefully. You let out an embarrassing sound. When did his voice become so attractive? "I can't *wait* to break you."You suck in heavy breaths, trying to focus on anything but him. "It's been ages since I've had a visitor. Let alone a human one," he draws closer, long tail wrapping around your ankle and yanking you back underneath him. "And you *do* know what time of the year it is, don't you?"Not really, and you don't care. You're barely paying attention to his words, groaning softly as he speaks. The heat in your core is only growing worse."It's spring, foolish girl." He taps your cheek with his middle and ring fingers.
Pathetically, a strange thought of having them sunk deep into your cunt makes you clench desperately around nothing. He chuckles, sliding his fingers into your mouth. "Suck. Focus on my words, yes? I'll reward you." He licks his lips, wanting to sink his teeth into you, but he can't rush. He has to slowly drive you insane."You see, girl, I'm feeling rather desperate. Spring is my mating season, and there's no one else here, but you. Now, since you're an intruder, it's only fair that I take what I want from you as a punishment, right?" You half-heartedly follow along, obediently sucking on his fingers as he thrusts them into your mouth. Gilgamesh gently scrapes his nails against your tongue, his eyes glinting with approval.
"Good girl. And what I want is to breed you. Get you nice and pregnant. It's only fair, right?" Your tongue stops lazily swirling around his fingers, and your eyes dart up to his. Gilgamesh smiles as his free hand slowly unbuttons your shorts, tugging them off your body. He groans at the sight of your soaked panties, breathing in the enticing smell of your arousal. His mouth waters. "In mongrel terms, I want to fuck you."Your brain very slowly processes his previous words. *Pregnancy? Breeding? Birth?* You mumble against his fingers, shaking your head. "N-no... I need... home..." You slur, pushing weakly at his chest.He slides his wet fingers out of your mouth, drifting them down your body. They come to a stop just beneath your belly button. "You say no? Drugged and at my mercy, you still don't want to give in?" He coos softly, almost innocently, before tearing your thin panties away.
"I can't!" you plead, but the arousal leaking from your pussy says otherwise. His fingers find your clit, rubbing teasingly light circles on it. You bite your lip to stop yourself from moaning. You have to try and fight through this haze, this spell. He leans down to kiss you again, his fingers starting to stroke your clit more insistently. You keep your mouth shut tight, afraid that he'll drug you further.Gilgamesh scoffs before slapping your sensitive clit, drawing a yelp from your lips. "Never deny me."
He's already growing impatient, but he knows he needs to prepare you. Gilgamesh places himself in between your legs, his hot breath against your pussy making you tremble. He keeps a tight grip one of your thighs, biting into it. You whimper, your limbs almost immediately melting into nothing.He drags his tongue from your thigh to your clit, massaging it with the muscle. You moan pathetically, the feeling overwhelming your fried senses.He licks a long stripe up your folds, before going back to kissing and gently sucking your abused clit, making you squirm with what little power you have left.
You cry out as his hot mouth latches around your cunt, greedily suckling and swallowing any juices you gush.He hungrily laps at you, relishing your taste, the way you squeal and moan for him, the way you try to struggle. His hands squeeze your thighs.He pulls back with a wet pop, his eyes darkened. "Mmm, I don't think I'll let you go. You *need* to be my cumdump. My breeding bitch." He pants softly, one of his hands sneakily making its way toward your pussy. "I *need* you to squirt. You understand, right?" He rubs his ring and middle fingers against your clenching entrance.He bites your thigh, breaking skin.
Gilgamesh brings tears to your eyes as more of his venom and aphrodisiac pour into your body.He feeds his fingers into your cunt, groaning softly as he feels how tight you are. He kisses the bite on your thigh, licking his lips. You're shaking, hands squeezing the grass weakly as he pumps his fingers into you, curling them occasionally to hit a spot that makes you choke on your drool.You almost scream as he starts flicking your swollen bud with his tongue, your hips trying to buck away from his mouth.He laughs against your pussy, before continuing to finger you while mercilessly kissing and sucking on your clit. You sob, the pleasure short circuiting your brain. You try desperately to push his head away, but his free arm presses down firmly on your stomach.
The pressure makes your core feel weird. You writhe and start babbling for him to stop, tugging at his hair.But he doesn't. Instead, he chases your cunt each time you try to struggle away. Every time you do this, he nips your clit with his sharp teeth, mixing pain with pleasure.You scream as your orgasm suddenly rips through you, white spots dancing across your vision as you squirt on his face. He quickly moves to greedily lap at your juices, shivering as he does so.He pulls back with a wide grin that makes you queasy."I've exercised great patience. I haven't even touched myself."Gilgamesh sits up, leaning down to cup your face."You know what's next, right?" He mumbles, squeezing your cheeks. "Do not make this hard for me. Do not fight me, do not scream at me, or I will hurt you."You whimper, feeling hot tears starting to roll down your cheeks. He moves one of his hands away from you."Keep crying, though. You're cute."
Before you know it, his cocks are slipping out of his genital slits. He hisses softly, watching them ooze precum against your tummy. You can feel the way they throb and twitch, and it makes you sick."You should know that I'm going to make you take both." He caresses your waist, and you let out shaky breaths.Gilgamesh chuckles at the way you jump when he rubs the tips of his appendages against your weeping entrance.Surely this can't be real? He doesn't seriously think you'll be able to take both, right? Just one of those things could break you, and -Gilgamesh rips you away from your thoughts as he squeezes your waist, pulling you down and starting to force his cocks into your cunt.You're about to protest, to try and push him away, but Gilgamesh anticipates this. He forcefully holds you down, biting into your shoulder.How much venom has he pumped into you at this point? You slump, and he quickly smothers you.
He wraps his arms around you, pressing his forehead to yours. Your eyes glaze over, mouth hanging open as he grunts above you, watching his lengths disappear into your warm, tight pussy. You're wet (and drugged up enough) for it not to hurt, but the sheer stretch makes you tremble."I can't take this slow anymore." That's all the warning you get before he thrusts forward, completely hilting his cocks into your heat.Gilgamesh groans, nuzzling his face against your neck as he wastes no time, pumping his girthy lengths into you. His tips press against your cervix with each thrust, making you dizzy.He hisses at the way you unconsciously squeeze him, drools at the way his heavy balls slap against your ass."Your little pussy's swallowing me in," he huffs, hips rutting into you faster. "You don't want to let go. I knew you wanted this." His thumbs press down just under your navel, obsessed with the way his members bulge in your tummy.
You mewl and whimper, hands weakly pushing against his chest. You feel like you're about to explode, the pressure in your heat like no other. No other experience could come close to this. You feel that familiar knot in your tummy already starting to build up.Gilgamesh slows for a moment, keeping himself buried to the hilt as he grinds his lengths inside you. He groans at how your heat flutters around him before pressing hungry kisses to your mouth.You gasp against him as he suddenly lifts your legs over his shoulders, staying still for a moment. He slowly draws his thick members halfway out and chuckles softly at the breath of relief you let out.He slams back in, relishing the way you scream, the way your nails dig into his skin.
He knows that you're too weak to do anything but take it. Your mind blanks when he resumes his relentless pumping, the new angle letting him hump deeper into your abused pussy."Mmh, you're not leaving," almost immediately, you're cumming, squirting on his throbbing cocks. "I just have to keep you. Wouldn't you like that, little mongrel? Becoming my most prized treasure?" His rambling is useless, since now you're barely listening. Your gaze is focused on the way he slides in and out, the way his hips stutter when you squeeze him, the way his pretty scales gleam."Gonna cum. You're gonna make me cum." He murmurs, arms wrapping around your waist as he thrusts desperately, chasing release. Your mind barely registers his words, but the change in pace makes you squirt again.Gilgamesh hilts himself, shuddering as his orgasm washes over him.
He holds you close to him as (what you can only assume to be his eggs) force themselves into your womb through one of his cocks. The other fertilizes them, shooting sticky loads of cum into your cunt.They twitch and throb, and you can feel the way he's still slowly grinding into you. The way his warm seed fills you up. He huffs as he watches some of it leak out and pool under your ass.Gilgamesh slowly pulls out, as if hesitant to leave the warmth of your pussy. He lies back, bringing you to rest against his chest. He breathes softly, hands resting on your hips as he lazily rubs his leaking cocks against your tummy. You barely pay attention to the fact that he's still hard.Your body is a mess. You can't feel your legs, your pussy feels raw, your eyes are puffy from crying, your throat sore from screaming and moaning. And his bites definitely wouldn't heal up any soon.You pant softly, trying to catch your breath as he rubs his thumbs against your flesh. You almost strangely feel relaxed, but that's probably the venom speaking for you. "That should be enough."The bastard kisses your forehead as he slams his cocks back into your puffy cunt. He grins, hugging you close to him as he thrusts up, ignoring the way you squeal and plead for him to stop."You thought we were done? Just keep drooling against my chest, mongrel. This is your fault for coming into my home, anyway."

I think the main thing that I love about monster lovers is that they do such a good job of feeling naturally dominant but still nurturing because of "instinct". Does that make sense? It's something I strongly desire in a man, but all I seem to find are Chads or christian grey mfeers.
Yesss, anon you make perfect sense. I see you. I honestly feel like thatâs a big allure to monsters in general too! Like monsters know how to be rough and dominant with their partners, but they know when enough is enough, they know when to be gentle and cherishing because of that instinct to protect their mates. Monsters actually know that thereâs a necessary balance between rough and gentle and even when they lose themselves and get every rough, itâs always followed up by equally measured gentleness.
I also think another factor is that monsters typically view humans as something precious and even if they donât initially I think they usually end up doing so in the end, depends on the piece of literature lol. But if anything they at least view mates as precious where a lot of people donât as much anymore. Making monsters all the more appealing

The Reluctance of Love Pt. 25
Look who's baaaaaccccckkkk.
I've written a few chapters ahead so that it will hopefully help me to stay on top of this story and not fall behind....again.
But life loves to be silly and change our plans, so let's hope we can stay consistent this time.
Orc Male x Half-Elf Male, Fated Mates, Forbidden Love, Slow Burn Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 Content Warnings: unhealthy parent dynamics All orcish is from orcishdictionary.com, created by Matt Vancil.
Altan POV
I looked back down at my breakfast and was resigned to starve. I had no appetite. Not since I woke up with the vial missing. My hand consistently reached for my chest to hold it and found nothing there, leaving me feeling hollow and heavy inside. Where had I misplaced it? My father had insisted I bathe and change last night after our conversation, and I took great care to place it where it wouldnât get lost.
I wasnât stupid enough to not suspect my father, especially seeing how pleased he was this morning. This playing nice was all some sort of act, but I also didnât doubt that the Lady of Triel was a means to handle our - or should I say his - debts. I wouldnât abandon my brothers so carelessly. I would do what I needed to, to satisfy the masses and then if the gods be willing, I would disappear and I would find Drunrag
Which meant I needed that vial.
But even without the vial, I had to trust that he was still alive. I would know, wouldnât I? I would feel something change in me if he were gone? But he and I werenât connected anymore, maybe I was being dramatic for thinking there was something still holding him to me. I ran my hand through my hair and siged. My mind was racing too fast to keep up.
âYou are not feeling well?â My father asked from across the table.
I looked up and met his eyes. I couldnât read him. Was it truly concern I was reading in his voice? Or was there an edge to it?
I stuttered to speak, âI-IâŚIâm not feeling totally myself this morning.â I admitted. âPerhaps I should get some fresh air?â
My father was silent as he in turn studied me, read me. It seemed we were both still playing the game of guessing who was a step in front of whom.
âWeâll be leaving to return to Berdusk shortly, the Duke and Lady Allara are waiting for us.â
âIsnât Berdusk days away?â I asked, before realizing that I actually had no idea where we were.
My fatherâs mouth tweaked at my question, âYou recall how you came here through a portal, yes?â
I gave him a curt nod, âYes, yes I remember. Then letâs just skip the meal and be done.â I pushed the food away from me and folded my arms indignantly. I was ready to be out of my fatherâs direct gaze.
He waited to answer before giving a short nod. âVery well. I will inform the hunters.â
âHow is it that the Hunters work for you?â I asked. I knew it was unlikely that I would get an honest answer, but I had to at least try.
âThe Hunters and I have a common goal, or shall I say, a common enemy.â He said, he dabbed a napkin across his lips before rising to his feet. âAs long as our goals remain the same, we hold a partnership with each other that requires no monetary cost.â
âI see.â I said.Â
âShall we, then?â He asked, gesturing to the door out of the kitchen.
I said nothing, but led us out through the door. I spared a glance down to see if I caught the vial on my fatherâs person, but as I suspected, it would not be so easy to find.
âLooking for something?â My father asked. His eyes were narrowed.
I met them with a vacant expression. âNothing of real interest.â
We followed the path back down the stairs to the underground maze of caverns and tunnels. It was confusing, and we were met with a cloaked Hunter who led us through in torchlight to the same large cavernous room. There were a trio of Hunters already in the room, drawing symbols within a circle on the ground.Â
We watched silently as the portal opened like a maw in the middle of the air, centered above the magic ring. The space within was blurred and unfocused and shimmered like water, but revealing a landscape much different than the current dank room we were in.. It was a curious form of magic, but also fascinating.Â
My father once again let me take the lead and I stepped through with him behind me. I felt a rush of vertigo that time and I forced my eyes shut as I waited for the sensation to pass. When I opened my eyes, we were standing in the Great Hall of Berdusk.
âEasy enough.â My father announced, smiling congenially as the portal winked closed behind us.
Business resumed almost immediately and a guard rushed towards us from the edge of the room. âYour Grace, a message for you.â
It was nothing more than a scrap of paper. I tried to read from the corner of my eye, I had only the chance to read a few words before my father slipped the paper into his robes.
Your Commander is not loyal.Â
âHmmm, a beautiful morning indeed.â My father breathed out. He looked down at me with a grim smile, âShall we go meet your fiance?â
âIâd actually like to freshen up first.â I said, before clearing my throat, âIâŚIâd like to be looking my best.â
He nodded, âOf course. On your way, then, try to be quick, son.â
I bowed my head solemnly. âI know what is expected of me.â I turned and began the descent down the stairs and out of the room.Â
As I stepped out I quickened my pace and raced towards my quarters, but not before a hand grabbed me and pulled me into a small hallway.
âWhat are you doing here?â Selharâs face was panic-stricken and frantic. âWhere is he?â
âSelhar?â I asked. âWhatâs going on?â
He shook his head, âNo, youâre not supposed to be back here. He promised me he would keep you safe.â
âYouâre not making any sense.â I said, and I grabbed his shoulders, trying to still his shaking body. âSelhar, what are you talking about?â
âYourâŚyour partner. The orc. He promised me that he would try to keep you safe. I believed him. Why are you back?âÂ
I had never seen such extreme emotion on his face in a long time. Not since our motherâs passing, and I felt the jump in my own heartbeat as I looked back at him. âHeâŚHeâs.â I sighed. âI donât know where he is, Selhar. I think father has him.â
âWhere?âÂ
I shook my head. âI donât know.â
âI hate him.â Selhar said, his voice came out like a hiss. âI hate him so much.â
The hallway was somber as I let my brotherâs words hang between us. My mother and I had failed to protect him from the cruelties of Duke Hilmar, and the guilt that I didnât even know what my brother had been going through suddenly overwhelmed me. This wasnât just about me and Drun. This conflict ran much, much deeper.
âListen, Selhar.â My voice was soft, âIâm not giving up yet.â
He shook his head, âBut heâs brought you back here twice. You wonât be able to leave now.â
I nodded, âI know. But maybe you can help me?â
His eyes widened. âHow?â
âI need you to get in touch with Commander Gideon. Tell him that father suspects him of treason. If he can, I need to meet with him as soon as possible.â
âIs that all?â He asked.
I thought for a moment, then continued. âI think father has something that belongs to me. A glass vial with red liquid inside. If you can find it somehow, I need that back. And donât let the Duke find out.â
He nodded, a small wry smile formed on his face. âIâm the middle child, Altan, father doesnât pay attention to me unless heâs mad at me. It will be easy.â
âHeâs waiting for me. I have to meet myâŚfianceâ We both grimaced at that. âIâll find you after that.â
He nodded and turned to go.
âSelhar.â I said as he was about to leave. âIâm sorry for whatever heâs done to you.â
He shook his head, âIt doesnât matter if weâre able to stop him.â And then he turned to go.Â
There were a set of guards outside my room as I approached it. I felt the small pit in my stomach tighten as I approached them.Â
âI assume you were sent by my father?â
They nodded.Â
I rolled my eyes and forced my most petulant voice.. âI wonât meet with anyone until I am clean from my travels. Would you be kind enough to get someone to start my bath?â
âYoung lordâŚâ One of them began.
âPlease.â I bemoaned. âAnd if I come out of here with you both still here, Iâm reporting you to my father, heâs waiting on me, which means heâs waiting on you.â
I didnât wait for an answer and strode into my room where everything was as exactly as I had left it. Strange to believe that it had not even been a week since I had left. So much had happened. I hoped my whining was good enough to get rid of the guards at my door. And I hoped that Commander Gideon would arrive in time for him to not be seen by them.
I paced, thinking over everything.Â
This was what I knew at that point.
The first, that my father had an arrangement with the Red Hunters that meant they had a mutual goal that enabled them to work together so long as that mutual goal remained. I didnât know what that goal was, but perhaps if I could find out what it was, I could use that to my advantage.
Secondly, I knew Drunrag was being held somewhere as leverage for me to obey and listen to my father and I also believed he possessed the vial as added leverage, but my father was holding that information from me until absolutely necessary should I misbehave again.
Third, there were spies within the Great Hall who had informed my father of Commander Gideon as an enemy to my fatherâs goals. I wasnât certain if these spies were part of the deal with the Red Hunters, or separate, but it was important to note that I couldnât trust anyone at this point besides Gideon, Doxxah, and Selhar.
Lastly, a portion of my fatherâs debt relied on me uniting with Lady Allara. The consequences of not doing so were unclear, and I also didnât know if it played into the arrangement with the Red Hunters. But I could only hope that it was the case, since all of the details seemed so close together.
I didnât know how to connect all of the details yet. I was never the most clever, though the gods know I tried to be. I only knew that I had multiple things I needed to see happen before Drunrag and I could be together again.
The first, was to prevent Commander Gideon from being arrested or blamed for treason and perhaps reveal the moles within the guardsâ ranks. He was my greatest asset and ally with influence and rank.
Second, my arranged marriage had to be stopped and if I was lucky, I could incite problems with deals my father has with the Red Hunters that would help with my third, and perhaps most important goal which was to stop whatever other plans my father has. I needed to prevent him from ever doing something like this ever again. Perhaps it was time the Hilmar name faced the consequences and no longer be in power.
I was deep in thought when I heard a knock at the door.
My heart leapt the same time I sprung to my feet and raced for the door. I cracked it open and let out a breath when I saw the towering figure of Commander Gideon . There was no sign of anyone else.
âQuick. Inside.â I said and released the door.
The Commander slid into the room, an impassive look on his face. I was about to close the door when Selhar grabbed the door and followed in. âNot without me.â He said quietly, but the determination in his voice was not to be dismissed.
âDid anyone see you?â I asked.
They both shook their heads.
âWe donât have much time. My father is about to have guards on me again and I donât know if weâll have another chance like this.â
âI understand the Duke has marked me as untrustworthy.â Gideon said. âMuch gratitude to you for warning me. I am in your debt.â
I bowed my head, âYou are my ally, and selfishly I must admit I cannot do this without you.â I turned to Selhar, âEither of you.â
âWhere is the young orc?â The Commander asked.
âSomewhere imprisoned by my father. I believe with the Red Hunters? I do not know the location, only that is resides underground.â
âRed Hunters?â The Commander and Selhar exchanged glances at one another, eyes wide. âGods helps us.â
âCommander, I believe you need to disappear before you are intercepted by the Duke.â It was unfamiliar to me to be so commanding to another, but the commander eyeâs were locked with me, listening intently. âI donât know what Iâm doing, so I trust you to guide me.â
âAsk me what you wish, young lord and it will be so.â
Selhar nodded, âAnd me.â
I looked between them and let out a sigh. âIf I only I knew.â
âDo you have a plan?â Selhar asked.
âOnly the beginnings of one.â I said. âI donât know if it will work. But itâs the only plan I have left.â

ugghh i wanna be swallowed whole by a monster & have a wave of fear tingle my whole body as i worry wether or not help is coming
being pulled deeper & deeper in by the hot, slimy, undulating walls surrounding me, my clothes peeling away until my bare flesh can feel the monster's low, heavy pulse against me, my pulse getting faster & faster the more scared i'm getting, the deeper i'm getting
my breath being taken away by the constrained space, my lungs filled with the heavy fumes within this beast, every moment drags on forever, the fear & panic overwhelming me until it turns into tingles of macabre pleasure

Yeah I'm pretty sure every kid who was like "Wow Davy Johnes is sooo cool, he's my favorite character!" became a monsterfucker sooner or later
The millennial litmus test for sexuality was 100% Pirates of the Caribbean. I was 13 when the first movie came out. Literally everyone walked into that movie having been lured there by the attractiveness of Orlando Bloom in LOTR. The truly straight girls had been drawn in by his entry-level attractiveness and walked out lusting over the significantly older and manlier Jack Sparrow. The others had been unconsciously drawn in by Legolas's femininity and walked out with their eyes opened and lusting over Keira Knightley.

Is it weird I kinda want a monster Incel? Like he believes all humans are supposed to be a certain way but then they meet the first human and are initially disillusioned/upset but over time begin to regret their actions after falling in love and seeing humans as more than really hot porn/pictures online
content: gender neutral reader, NSFW
I'm thinking of a monster incel who is deeply envious and frustrated because he thinks humans only like conventionally attractive monsters.
He reads the comments from the human world with a resentful frown. "Of course he's hot," he grunts, eyeing the rather tasteful sketch of a tall, muscular orc. He turns to the mirror for comparison: multiple limbs, tendrils, a gargantuan body of darkness and blight. He doesn't have abs, nor a handsomely pale complexion and chiseled jaw. He is but an abstract aberration, a crooked ghoul.
It only makes sense that when he encounters you, his yearning and curiosity are swiftly replaced by anger. Give it a moment to fully process his existence, and you'll be disappointed, perhaps frightened. Maybe even disgusted.
He might as well get something out of this unplanned affair. With instinctual greed, he pins you to the ground, taking in your scent. His heart throbs with anticipation. How will you react once he's deep inside you, thrusting relentlessly and with sheer indifference to your protests? His razor-sharp teeth clamp together in seething jealousy; he can almost hear your sobs, feel your little fingers clawing around his hideous body, trying to escape. Of course, he's not the kind of monster you wanted. He's not-
Underneath his heaving chest, your small human form lays limp. He considers whether you've already given up and accepted your fate, when he notices the perverted grin spread across your face. It seems he never considered the possibility of a true monster fucker.
"Well? What're you staring for," you say with impatience, gesturing for the beast to hurry up and fuck you already.
Is it too late to ask you out on a proper date?

This was my fault. I had let my guard down.Â
My heart was pounding fast inside me, but it was no longer for the rush I felt being near Altan. No, I was feeling the thumping of my body fearing for my life, for Altanâs life.
I pulled Altan in front of me and put myself between him and the men âRun!â I pushed him ahead of me and he began to scramble forward.
I snapped the longest piece of the arrow that extended out the side of my leg and grunted at the jolt of pain, but Iâd have to deal with the rest later. I kept running, forcing my body to suppress the pain. I glanced back and saw two of the three men were racing down the hill towards us, the third let loose another arrow. I heard its whistle and felt a sting as it sliced the side of my arm, barely missing me. I hissed, but I didnât slow. I didnât have time to linger on the pain. I was the son of Uluraat orcs, and we did not let pain stop us from protecting each other.
There was a roar in my ears as I kept just behind Altan. I glanced back and saw that all three were now in pursuit. They each had hoods concealing their faces as they sprinted towards us. We had an advantage, but if we slowed at all, they would gain on us.Â
âAltan,â I called, âHold tight.â
He looked back at me, his eyes wide as I suddenly swept him up and into my arms. His arms found my neck and he held on tight to me. We both knew I was faster than him, I could carry him as long as I needed to. To keep him safe.Â
âWhat are you doing?â he yelled, âYouâre injured!âÂ
My expression was grim as I met his eyes for only a flash, âIâll live.â
He frowned, but said nothing. He looked back, âTheyâre not slowing down.â
âNeither will I.â
âHow long can you keep this up?â His voice was shaking.
âAs long as I have to.â I said. My words came out more like grunts as I tried to keep my breathing level. My body was pounding to a rhythm that I had long since forgotten.Â
âDrun, your skin is burning.â Altan said.
âItâs good.â I grunted. Orcs' bodies were built for war, for hunting and survival and when our bodies were pushed to the extreme, there was a sudden rush that made our blood burn and our bodies be able to push through extreme injuries or exhaustion. It worked and felt similarly to lordhovid. I had not felt such sensations since I was much younger, and there was a part of me that missed the feeling of pushing my body to its limit. There was a roar in my ears that dimmed all sound except for the sound and feeling of my feet pounding into the earth, I could feel the soil break beneath me. My leg had an ever present throb that I couldnât quite shake, but I was determined. I couldnât slow down. I couldnât.Â
Altan clung to me, saying nothing, I could feel his own heart pounding against my chest. He watched with wide eyes ahead of us and then looked back and said, âWeâre losing them I think.â
I didnât respond and still I didnât slow. My breath was coming out of my mouth in short, loud puffs and I clung to Altan, making sure he would never fall from my grip. I was fueling every part of me into running. Faster if I could. It didnât matter how long it would take, but I would get Altan free. My arms were beginning to tire and my leg was starting to scream at me. I didnât dare look down to see how much blood I was losing. I couldnât care about that, not yet. At the speed I was running I was praying that I would ourselves reaching my fatherâs camp soon. I may have an advantage on our pursuers, but I also knew that my body wouldnât keep this up forever. Eventually I would collapse.
âDrun.â Altan pulled himself up. I could sense fear in his voice and I looked back. I saw nobody there and even though I kept running, I began to slowly pull back.Â
âYour leg.â He said, looking down. âLet me dress it.â
I shook my head, âNo, it will be fine once we get to camp.â
âDrunrag.â Altan pushed. âI wonât accept you losing so much blood that you faint.â
I shook my head. âNot possible.â Orcs donât faint, we die before that could ever happen.
He frowned and his face became grim. âDrunrag Uluraat, we are doing this together. Let. Me. Help. You.â
I read the determination in his expression. He would not accept no for an answer.
I slowed to a stop and I suddenly grimaced as the pain overwhelmed my senses. He kept his arms around my neck as he swung his legs free and hopped down to his feet. He reached for the bottom of my tunic, not even asking before ripping off the bottom portion.Â
âThereâs a lot of blood, the arrow has moved a lot.â he looked up after assessing what was left of the arrow sticking from my thigh. âIâll do my best to control the bleeding, but I donât think I can remove the arrow just yetâ He started to wrap the cloth around my leg, keeping it tight just above the wound.Â
âThank you,â I said, then looked behind us, assessing our surroundings. âWe probably donât have much time.â
His eyes were narrowed and concentrated on the wound, he didnât give any sign that he had heard me as he tightly knotted the bandage.Â
âTighter.â I said roughly, I wiped sweat from my brows and looked over my shoulder, my heart skipped a beat as I saw the distant shadowy shapes of our pursuers that hadnât been there before.
âWe have to get moving.â
âIf you keep running, it could injure you more.â He protested.
âWe can deal with that later.â I looked back again and then back to Altan. âAre you ready?â
He looked at my leg nervously before nodding and letting me lift him back into my arms.
I started to run, but immediately I realized our error for stopping. My body protested with every step and I felt as if the exhaustion from the last three days had caught up with me. I groaned as I felt the intense searing pain as I moved my leg again and again. The motion was suddenly near unbearable and I began to limp.Â
âDrun.â Altanâs voice was distant in my head, I could only hear a shrill ringing. âDrun!â
I continued to run, to struggle onwards. Every orc warrior kept standing until their last breath, and I would do the same to make sure that Altan was safe. I met his eyes and we both knew I wasnât as fast before, and that I was fading, but I had to keep going. It was our only chance. Stopping now would mean death.
âDrun,â Altanâs voice cut through again, he gripped my neck tighter. âTheyâre gaining on us.â
I turned around and realized that they were on horses now, with two additional riders with them. I felt the weight of what that meant.
There would be no escaping them.Â
I slowed down, holding Altan close to me. âAltan, promise me that whatever happens, youâll keep running towards those hills until you find my father. Do you understand?â
He jerked in my arms and looked at me with a grim expression. âDrunrag. What are you saying?â
âPromise me.â
He shook his head. âNo, weâre doing this together.â
âAltan.â I said, his name hurt on my lips, and I ached to swallow the emotion away from my voice. I set him down and grabbed his shoulders. âWe are always together, but we also need to prepare for if something gets worse. I need to buy you some time.â
âBut youâre injured.â
âThey slowed us down on purpose, this is what they wanted. But Iâm also the son of the greatest warrior I know.â I said. âI will fight, whatever it takes. For you. For us. If you can keep running and get to my fatherâs camp, they will bring reinforcements to help. Weâre not far, but I have to make sure one of us gets a chance to get there.â
He shook his head. âI donât like this. Drun, I donât want to leave you.â
I lifted the vial from his neck and then placed my hand on his chest, above his heart. âWe can find each other again. Do you trust me?â
His eyes softened and turned sad. âDrun, youâre saying this like something will go wrong.â
âIt may,â My voice was sober as I set him down on the ground. âDo you trust me?â
He nodded, âI trust you. Always.â
I gave him a grim smile, âThen go. To the hills, follow the smell of the smoke and donât look back.â
Altanâs eyes hardened to steel and he nodded. âI love you, Iâll come back for you.âÂ
I nodded. âNod merad,â I cupped his face and leaned in, letting us both savor one last final kiss before I let him go. I felt that feeling of completion, of unification before I pushed him away and my voice cracked, âGo.â
There wasnât time to say or do anything more. His eyes were on me a few moments longer, we both seemed to be trying to memorize all of our features in a matter of seconds, before he turned from me and began to run.
I looked back to the shadows of the riders ahead of us and I felt the cold reality of what I was doing. Orcs fought in packs, while I stood alone. These riders outnumbered me. They had arrows, weapons, horses - means to not only defend themselves, but also the means to kill me if they so chose. I was not loved by the Duke or his council, very likely they would not hesitate to kill me. I had nothing to defend myself. All that Commander Gideon had given me was a small dagger. It would be enough to throw at one target, but there would still be four more, and they likely wouldnât hesitate to retaliate.
Perhaps the blood soaked soil of the Fields of the Dead would promise me victory. I breathed in deep and prayed to the orc-god for his blessing. His lust for blood was what kept the land fertile and safe for my people, he was always near to them when they stayed so near where war had been. I hoped I was still given the grace to be acknowledged by him.
I looked back over my shoulder one last time and I saw my belovedâs back becoming smaller and smaller as he ran towards the hills where my father would be. Please be good to him, I prayed. Please let him live.
I wondered if I would see him again. Or if I had already said goodbye to him. I remembered how it had only been a few hours ago today. I remembered what had told me, âIf I am lucky, I would have all of you.â  Was today all I could ever give him? I wanted to give him so much more. I would give him everything I had if I had the chance then.
I heard the pounding of the hooves and turned back, I slipped the dagger free from its sheath on my belt and I held my stance.
My eyes focused on the riders and as they came closer, I began to catch details of them that I had not been able to see before. One of them had their hood flown back, revealing their shaved head and glowing red eyes. My heart faltered as I recognized what this meant with their bright red garb.Â
I was familiar with this guild of hunters, though I had never encountered them before. The Red Hunters: a shadowy group of mercenaries that lurked in shadows all across Faerun, that could be convinced to hunt down anyone or anything for a bit of coin. Their methods were uncommonly violent and their work was renowned for their special brand of cruelty. They were trained killers, but they were also trained in other arts: tracking what is supposed to be untraceable, killing what is unkillable, torturing what should be unbreakable. They all shared the common features of the red of their eyes - a malformation from a drug they consumed to heighten their senses - and shaved heads.Â
I didnât know how the Duke was able to pay such a high fee when I knew of his debts. And I also didnât know what that meant for my fate. Was I to die by their hand? Or be taken somewhere much worse?
Gruumsh, hear me, I am unworthy of your blessing, but I ask it all the same.
Let me live so that I may see him again.
Let me live.
The party of riders slowed and approached me. They each pulled back their heads and I saw that they all also wore masks that concealed all but their red, burning eyes.Â
âOrc.â One of them called, their voice biting.
I did not answer, only returning with a glowering stare.
âWhere is the young lord?â The same one asked.
I did not answer again.Â
The one who spoke turned to the one to their left and in a different language made some sharp command. The one who received the orders began to urge their horse forward, and it was then that I loosened my grip on the knife and let the weight of its hilt swing until my fingers caught hold of it by the blade. My eyes locked on the riderâs neck that was moving towards me and I let the knife fly, watching the blade sink right where I aimed. The rider gurgled before they slid off the saddle and fell to the ground, either dead or dying.Â
âYou will go no further.â I shouted, my voice came out as more a roar than a yell. I did not care that I might have appeared more beast than man at that moment. I wanted them to know I would die before they got their hands on my mate.
âOrc.â The first speaker called. âYou will not repeat such an act of violence. You have made your talent apparent, now listen carefully. You will not live if you act out again, and then who will protect your lover then?â
âWhat are your demands?â I seethed where I stood. They would use Altan against me, they knew it would work. I had never possessed such a weakness as strong and obvious as him before and I was too desperate to sacrifice him.Â
âYou will come with us. There is a Duke who would like to see you. Alive, unfortunately. But Iâm not afraid to kill you all the same if you do not obey me.â The leader urged his steed forward and they approached me until they were stopped only a few feet from me.Â
As I stood, my eyes just above their horses' glassy eyes and I only had to look up a bit to meet the eyes of the leader.Â
âYou will not hurt him?â I asked.
They shrugged, âWeâll see. Will you go willingly?â
I tried to read their eyes, but those red, hollow eyes expressed nothing but contempt and apathy. There would be no gambling with these people. I bowed my head.Â
 The leader turned back and called out to the other three riders. I watched in mute horror as two of them burst into a gallop towards the hills, pulling the crossbows from their hips.Â
âNo!â I yelled. I somehow knew they would not respect my desire and lunged out to stop them, but I felt something lodge into my thigh - my good one - and I faltered and landed on my knees.Â
The two riders who were left circled me and the leader scoffed at me. âPathetic. I thought orcs were a little more impressive thanâŚthis. Youâre a bit of a disappointment, arenât you?â
I felt another painful sharpness in my leg and I looked down to see that two crossbow bolts were now lodged just above my knee on my right knee. It took everything in me to hold back the groans of pain, I clenched my jaw and I sat up, my knees were shaking beneath me.Â
âWhat made you think we would actually honor any request you made?â They asked.
âIdiotâ The other chuckled.Â
I glared at each of them, my hands were fists at my side. I had nothing to fight back. I was grounded by two wounds that kept me from running. What was next?
âCuff him.â The leader said darkly.Â
The other retrieved chains from their pack and my eyes flashed with horror as I recognized cuffs for my feet, my hands, and a collar for my neck.Â
They were going to chain me like an animal.Â
I started to flail as the rider dismounted and approached me with the chains. I wouldnât be treated so disrespectfully. I may not be the perfect orc I was supposed to be, but I understood my honor, my pride. I would not accept this. The last thing I remembered was the shrill scream of their mount as it rose to its hind legs and then feeling a hard, painful collision to the back of my head.Â
Altan. I thought as darkness claimed me. Iâm so sorry.
