18 Red Twilight Demon of the Flowers chapter 18

Chapter 18 Biting Wind part 2

Fear and anger override any other feeling, Niya spits the stone at the ground and jumps to face Tatsu. Niya shouts faster then she can think, tripping over her own words "What is that? What was that? What are you…?"

The white wolf calmly shuts his eyes with a nod of understanding "predictable." He takes a breath "you deserve at least that much. Sit down and let me tell you a tale."

Niya looks at Cordell expecting him to have something to say. Cordell instead sits alongside Niya and watches the white wolf.

Tatsu begins his story. "there is a land far from here. One where there is no sun in the sky, one where night last forever. In this place animals act differently then they do here. There all the beast have only one mind that they must share between each other. The beast of the land have done strange and magical things in this way. They have learned how tunnel for water and food, they have learned how to make wind and rain. There whenever one dies another is born that is just like the one that died. It was in this place that Seeker was born, but where she should have been just like her father in every way something had changed. She could feel the thoughts of the hive, just like everyone else, but she was not a slave to the hive. She had two brains. One that was the Hive, the other which was her and her alone."

"Seeker tried to be what she was meant to be. She tried to be who her father was; she tried to shut down and follow the will of the Hive. But she could dream. Her dreams provoked her, gave her a hunger not just for lust, but for love, and her dreams filled her with fear and realization. Seeker knew she was alive, and she knew that she would die someday. To her, this was unexpectable, after-all what is the meaning of breath if death followed by necessity? She postulated that the Hive needed to be like her. If she could think then it to must be thinking."

"Under this assumption, Seeker traveled to the heart of her land, she needed to see the body of the Hive, she needed to reach out and touch the only other thing in the world that she knew was like her. Seeker was gravely disappointed. Whatever was the hive, was the link that held them all together was, seems to have died long ago. She found an unliving, unfeeling construct that was nothing more than a conduit that held her people together. Seeker inserted herself into the skin of the Hive, her and Hive became a single life form. Now not only could Seeker feel the thoughts off her kin-men, but she could also control them. She could see through their eyes, feel with their fingers. She was all of them, all at once."

"now as one-hundred-million bodies with a single mind Seeker set the land ablaze seeking out any morsel of knowledge or truth that may help her understand what she is or what she is meant to do. That was when she found Cilverant. Another creature from another land that had done everything she had done. Cleary, the two of them, were cut from the same cloth. 'Maybe Cilverant would help me discover who I am' she must have thought. Cilverant was kind to her. He brought her to the Worldwalkers, and to the Steel Rose." Tatsu points at the floating hadron. "but Cilverant was slow to share his secrets, Seeker did to him what she had done to her hive. She drew him into her body, and her mind consumed his."

"Understandable, myself and the others living on the Steel Rose where cross about this. Cilverant was everyone's older brother; he protected all of us. We tried to pull her plug. She fought back. Now she is looking for us. She wants all of us to become a part of her."

Niya interrupts "I killed it."

Tatsu lowers his head thinking "I don't know if you did. That thing we killed, that was only skin. It is the mind that is the monster; I don't know if that can be killed." Again, he points to the flower in the sky "Cilverant in an attempt to dodge mortality made himself one with his machines. When Seeker became Cilverant she to gained the protection of the Steel Rose. How does one kill the land atop which they stand?"

Cordell has had his fill; the kitten jumps to his feet "If that monster comes back it will be looking for you right, wolf? We can deliver you to it, and it will leave us alone?"

Niya sits up; her head lowers in contemplation "there is no way to know that for sure. This wolf has protected us once already. Surely he can be convinced to fight by our side again." Niya stretches her back end lifting her tail calling attention to her feminine feline form. "you will stay till we are sure that the monster is gone, won't you?" she opens her mouth lightly letting her long tongue wrap around her nose.

Tatsu sits, his eyes lowered, her growls at himself thinking. Niya decides to break his concentration, she walks. She walks over sliding her head under his muzzle then walks along his chest brushing her side up his body until at last her tail slides across his lips. Niya is smart; she is manipulative when she needs to be, she knows that men will act against there own interest given the promise of pleasure. In times of desperation she has paraded herself before men looking for food or shelter, and if she has to pay up, in the end, needing to take some seed into her body isn't the worst thing that she has had to indoor.

Tatsu's head turns, his eyes open looking at the cheetah, Niya know he is looking at her, she holds her tail slightly off to one side and arches her back making sure that the wolf gets a good peek at her delicate underside. Cordell lowers his head looking under Niya's tail also.

Tatsu grins, he is a cunning one as well, and he can see Niya is willing to play ball. If he is going to stay here there are things he is going to need; a safe place to sleep, someone to teach him the laws of the land, a guide that knows the lay of the land, but getting to play with the cat could be a lot of fun as well. Tatsu states his case bluntly. "so long as the Steel Rose hangs in the air, I will stay with you."

Cordell finds himself filled with feeling he doesn't understand, he is short of breath, his mouth is watering, almost like he is hunting a horse he jumps at Niya gripping her by the hindquarters, his head comes down, and he seizes her by the back with his fangs.

Even if Cordell doesn't know what he is doing Niya does, and she is surprised, she meows having not realized that the kitten could become aroused. Not knowing what he is doing Cordell has no idea what to do next, Niya lowers herself rubbing her rump down the kitten's chest and stomach. She finds his unit. It is small, underdeveloped, but still, the very idea that it is becoming unsheathed could mean that he is ready and capable of breeding. Niya lets Cordell's unit slide just past the outer folds of her vulva. Cordell gasp, his heart rate jumps, Niya's fur rubbing his underside and the brushing of her smooth lips across his shaft is stunning. Cordell's body shakes, Niya thinks that he may climax even without needing to slide into her slick hole.

But Niya is still hungry, she wants the kitten, and she is interested in the wolf. But she has no interest in making love before breakfast. Niya stands up making Cordell fall over backward. She walks away a few steps and tucks her tail making sure she is covered up. "There is a fallen tree that way, that is where I have been sleeping. We will go there, but first I will go catch us some food."

Niya runs off, she smiles and giggles to herself, she can't seem to recall when the last time she was in heat was but heat or no heat she is excited. She has two partners she is working, a virgin kitten and an exotic wolf. If she isn't in heat this will be a fun night, and if she is all the better.
