In the not so Distant Future

It was a bright morning, two figures could be seen huddled over a map as one drank from their canteen. Matt and Ayaka were looking over the map. There was a steep mountain range that not many have explored, throughout the mountain there are wyvern nests, and blood rams that can throw you hundreds of feet to your death if you try to scale it. Apparently, this mountain is actually a natural wall that hides the fox tribe.

"Kakureta, should be through this mountain pass. At first, it doesn't look like much but inside there is a well-hidden cave and tunnel that leads to the City in the Stone, our city is called Kakureta. Thanks for going out of the way, I want to let my mom know I am ok."

"No worries, I am sure she is worried sick. Hard to believe you all can remain hidden for so long."

"Yes, for centuries my tribe settled in the center of the mountain. Before we were a nomadic tribe that hunted and gathered, we were separated throughout different lands. However, other tribes' settlements and growth forced us to find our own location. One of my ancestors found an entrance to the center of this steep mountain. It was perfect for a settlement, a hidden civilization if you will. We survive by running an extensive assassin and espionage mercenary group known as the Night Stalkers. Humans are our most lucrative partners, the other tribes have too much pride to really hire us for anything."

She was booming with pride as she described her nation. "I see, and I mean no offense, but do you know why you mostly resemble a human other than your tail and ears?" I showed my claws and furry forearm. "Usually, demihumans have fur or scales on their hand, forearms, feet, shins, or part of their head."

Ayaka shrugged with a cute expression "That is how us Fox tribe are. It has helped us infiltrate the human seeing that we can hide our ears, dedicated agents cut their tails off to allow for easier infiltration while most of us just wear clothing or concealment techniques to hide our tails. They earn special status as spies and are assigned a number."

She brushed her long silky hair with her sleek fingers as she leaned forward to look into his eyes. She sent him a playful look and pouted, "Is this little cub saying I don't look cute?"

She somehow dilated her pupils and watered her eyes. Matt was stunned at her playful side, he sighed and gathered his thoughts "I admit you are quite the beauty, please try not to get me in trouble."

Ayaka gave a small chuckle "ehhh, is that so, I think Matt is quite the cutie himself."

Matt turned serious "I may appear this way but assure you, I am not cute." The duo continued talking as they packed up and went to their stop to the hidden tribe.

…

Huff huff* the party currently caught their breath. Blood and gore decorated the once peaceful desert. Vampire thralls have been plaguing the merchant city of Sabab. A city built around a network of small and large oases in a desert. It allowed a land trade route to most major nations on the continent aside from those from the Rewera Alliance (RA). It seems the RA was active in various parts of the continent, here it seems there was a group of vampires who began more aggressive operations in disrupting caravans and abducting people. The group has grown since Matt left, their battle prowess, strength, and mana have reached new heights. They continued to fight and investigate the operations of the RA, but their enemies also grew in either strength or numbers.

Emily was the first to speak "We are running short of supplies, let us travel back to Sabab."

"Thank god!" Kyle shouted, "I could use a break."

Emily looked at their team and sighed. Ever since they separated from Matt a year ago there have been issues. While they did grow stronger there was a drift between Calen and Beth 6 months ago, additionally, Emily was sick and tired of hearing the moaning of the group when she went on watch duty. She could keenly hear their nightly escapades, Kyle would sneak into Beth and Ava's tent while Calen would sometimes visit Ava.

It bothered Emily because they should be resting while she is on the watch not exhausting themselves. Lastly, she was embarrassed to find herself sometimes touching herself to those sounds, when thinking of a partner to share her warmth only Matt's young face came to her imagination.

It was a while back after celebrating their conquest of an orc stronghold before they ventured to the desert. Drinks and merriment, a rarity for the group, took hold of them. It was then that I saw Kyle helping Beth to her room. I thought she and Calen were getting along, but it seems they merely tolerate each other as companions. It is Kyle that has sunk his claws into both women. She wondered what it was about the sly wolf that attracted them to him. True, he has status, looks, and strength but she just couldn't see him as anything other than a companion and friend. Perhaps it was natural for her as a noble who had known many influential and handsome men not to fall in love for those reasons. During some parts of their journey, she could feel the men leering at her from time to time. Something Emily grew accustomed to during her knight's training. Still, it felt uncomfortable to feel that from her own party. After gathering the body parts and setting it ablaze they head back to the city. It would be a two-day journey through the desert.

Unlike their expedition into the desert, the journey back to Sabab was rather uneventful. Their skin was a healthy shade of brown from all their time in the sun. Sabab's city walls were made of compacted earth, however, it did not look primitive. All of the city's walls and houses look sleek and new. Even the commoners' district was well-lit with mana stones and very little crime. Outside the walls shanty towns and more unsavory business took place. Emily would look at the disparity and wonder why there had to be such an imbalance in society.

They marched through the city to the business district where a wealthy merchant, Amir, had sponsored their base of activities. Amir was en route to Sabab from the Heilig Kingdom when his caravan was attacked by thralls. The champion party came on time to save him and his associates' lives. He had rented a 4-room villa overlooking the main city plaza for the group under his company's line of credit. He thought it would be more beneficial to have them solve the issue than have more caravan attacks and cause shortages for the oasis. Once the group settled in, they went to their rooms to take a bath and unwind. It was during this time that Kyle asked Beth to fulfill a certain request. Beth gave him a look of revulsion before she went into her room, he was expectant of what was to come. Emily couldn't help but see their interaction and knew she would have a hard time falling asleep.

… *trigger warning: graphic subject matter ahead*…

Beth was washing herself as she thought about her journey so far. She couldn't help but feel sad when she had time to herself. Her disgust at her behavior grew day by day, her only salvation was the thought she would see the cub along her journey. She only thought of Matt and the woman she has come to be. Matt left to find his own way of fighting the war and here she was debasing herself and degrading all her morals. She started with Calen, he was kind, understanding, and gentle. She started to think that she could take him as a serious life partner, that is until he started to show his true self. From the beginning of the relationship, he was rather controlling but Beth saw this as a helpful quality not domineering as it truly was. Then at night, he became rougher with her and soon started calling her unsavory names. He started showing sadistic tendencies which she started to swallow down as punishment for rejecting the marriage proposal. It was all a single-step process, but she broke things off with him when one night he started disparaging Matt. She already felt soiled but hearing her beloved's name come from his mouth in that way shattered everything Calen was to her. She now merely stomachs his presence, her only saving grace was that while he had given him plenty of pleasure she was still a pure maiden, never having fully given herself to the elf.

...

It was during a drunken night that she lost herself to Kyle. She never drinks but decided to partake and it was a huge mistake. In her stupor, she thought the demihuman man that supported her was Matt. He helped her to her room at the inn and she hugged his waist. She missed him dearly, his valor, his kindness, his genuine empathy. In her drunken desperation, she clung to Kyle.

"Matt don't go, I need you!"

"Oi, I am not Ma…?"

Her face flushed and her heart raced, she felt she was finally confessing to her long-time love. She then interrupted Kyle

"I need this", she used her claw to rip apart the crotch of his pants and pulled out the cock hidden underneath.

"WHAT THE HE, guh*" While Kyle was flabbergasted at her boldness a soft and wet familiar sensation encased his cock.

Beth was jerking and sucking it desperately while tears flowed down her drunken face. "I lobe you Matt I albays HABE."

She confessed in an incoherent way as she plunged the rod deeper into her throat. She now held Kyle by the waist to force more of himself into her narrow and expectant throat. The wolf in his own stupor had no reason to correct her. He gazed upon the flower offering itself to him and trained her all night.

When Beth woke up, she was sticky all over with sweat and her head hurt. Dried semen all over her tender and supple body, she felt soreness all over but more pronounced was the soreness of her asshole and slit. She looked over to see Kyle trying to fix his pants. Beth's heart dropped as she began to vomit.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!" Kyle shouted.

"Please! I beg you, Kyle, tell me we didn't make love! Tell me this was all a dream! I am saving myself for MATT!" Beth gave a guttural plea to the werewolf.

He looked down at her and gave a sad look and caressed her head. "Beth look I know you don't remember much…"

His gentle voice soothed her racing heart, then it fell even deeper into her stomach

"I fucked every hole in your body, that's not love, it's lust." Beth looked at him completely baffled and she began to cry hysterically.

Kyle had a look of regret, but he has always been direct and somewhat crass.

"How am I supposed to be with Matt now?"

Kyle hesitated but said, "He doesn't have to know."

It seemed time stopped as she looked up "Just keep pleasing me from time to time and I will hold your secret from him, until my grave. Look it's a long journey and it's not like we won't have urges from here to the end."

She felt ashamed of his proposal, but she knew that he spoke truthfully, last night was a clear example. Beth shivered as she thought about having a man that wasn't Matt but gathered her strength enough to give a weak nod and whisper.

"I understand."

Kyle rubbed her head and caressed her ear. "Don't worry I assure you, you loved every second of it, I imagine you will learn to love it even more in the future."

Kyle left the room and Beth looked down at the bed, dried fluids littered her bedsheet giving an obscene aroma. She tucked her head in and continued to cry at her grave error. She should never have started her road to depravity, she regretted not saving all of herself until she married Matt.

...

This memory came to Beth frequently when Kyle sought her out. Tonight, before she went to her room Kyle asked her to wear a blindfold and the custom underwear he had made for her. It was a set of lace panties and a bra with openings that gave access to her nipples and sex. It was not the first time Kyle requested this, while she found it disgusting, she found it pleasurable, she imagined the cub she longed for eagerly pumping into her on those nights.

She got ready and sat on the edge of her bed, while she revolted at herself for her weakness, over time she found her time with Kyle as a welcome distraction. She would not admit it out loud but deep inside she was disgusted and fearful of the woman she was. She liked the pleasure Kyle gave her, but she succumbed many times while pretending to be against it in her head. She heard her door open as Kyle's voice rang out.

"Looks like you are learning pretty well."

Beth scowled at his cocky attitude, she thought 'Just shut up so I can think about him.' Soon soft flesh touched her lips, it didn't smell strong this time, it seems he washed well. She slowly started licking all around the head before encasing it. She sucked on it while using her soft tongue as a barrier to make sure her canines did not touch the cock invading her mouth. Her head began to bob as she slurped and sucked all along his shaft. Small groans of pleasure permeated the room, but they felt unfamiliar. Soon a hand grabbed her head and forced his penis into her throat. She gagged slightly as her mouth inched closer to his pelvis. Soon her lips touched his pelvis, tickling her face with his pubes. She breathed through her nose as she opened and clenched her throat. He withdrew his cock and went deep again. Her body ached as an itch formed in her. She wanted to touch herself but didn't want him to know that she was horny.

Guh* after a few minutes of her throat stimulating his dick he started pumping a load of bitter and viscous fluid into her mouth. It filled her mouth but more kept coming, she was forced to swallow halfway through his spasms to make more room. Then his voice rang out.

"Open your whore mouth and show me." She obliged, going so far as to swirl the liquid with her tongue before blowing a filthy bubble. She then swallowed it, he always requested this, then she opens her mouth while saying "ah" to show she swallowed it entirely.

"What a good girl, now turn around and rest your elbows on the bed I am going to fuck your asshole today."

She turned around and followed directions, now that her face was out of view, she bit her lip expectant of what was to come. A tongue invaded her hole as it swirled around "mmgh" she moaned softly. She then heard spitting, it seems he was lubricating his penis. He roughly grabbed her long tail at the base as a handle as her anus began to expand and a familiar pleasure came over her. Once his sack lightly touched her vagina she commented "It feels different"

"Ooh does it, maybe that's because your ass is taking in Calen's cock" Kyle smugly said as he removed her blindfold. She saw Kyle at her side, lying on the bed as he stimulated himself. Before she could struggle to get out, Calen began to roughly sway back and forth and picked up speed. "STO..STOPP… this isn't… mmmgh… WHAT YOU PROMISED!"

Calen slapped her plump ass, then kneaded it as she clenched onto his rod.

"I promised I wouldn't tell the cub. I never said anything about Calen, but from what I heard you have already become… familiar with him anyways. He said you would probably enjoy this…" he looked between Beth and Calen as he stopped pleasuring himself.

"You know how long I wanted to fuck you, Beth. You belonged to me! Yet you gave yourself to this commoner. I was going to make you my favorite concubine!" Calen shouted as he rammed into her.

"Uuugh… nooo…mmgh" Pleasure overtook her senses as the rod shoved deeply into her. "From now on whenever Kyle, I, or both of us want to use one of your holes you will do so. This little pussy belongs to us, and you are going to learn that."

Beth began to cry, she was stricken with grief, and her heart was shattering at the pleasure flooding her mind. Kyle noticed this was all a colossal mistake and bit his lip so hard it bled as he launched himself at Calen. He punched him in his smug face and Calen reeled back as he was forcefully dislodged.

"WHAT THE FUCK YOU RAPIST! YOU MADE ME COMPLICIT IN THIS BULLSHIT!" Kyle bellowed so hard his throat burned. Before he could punch Calen again he was pushed back by magic.

"Hey, you piece of shit if she didn't enjoy it what the HELL is that!" He pointed at Beth who had her liquid running down her leg as her body trembled and spasmed. Kyle was no longer sure if Beth was truly in distress or if she was just into some messed up roleplay. Confused, he looked at Beth.

He came to her side and rolled her onto her back as he asked "Beth I am sorry but are you … ok… is this …ok?"

Beth looked at Kyle and Calen and figured this is what she deserves "I am fine… just do whatever you want."

"Oh sweet Beth, how could you cry so sadly and still tremble at my cock" Calen approached her and slid himself back inside her, this time in her slit. Her skin glistened with sweat as she moaned "Ugghhh…" Calen pumped madly to fill her stomach. After a few minutes, she squirted from the sensation and lost strength in her legs as she fell unconscious for a few seconds. Calen's dick popped out as cum streamed out of her.

Kyle had lost his composure and wasn't sure what was up or down, he simply put on his clothes looked at Beth, and weakly apologized before he went to his room.

Calen being the only man in the room began to violate Beth once again "I will leave you alone tonight if you tell me the truth. Tell me you like this! Tell me you want IT!"

Beth's glazed over eyes could hardly focus, tears and moans prevented her from speaking and she cried even more when Kyle was out of the room.

"No…nooo… you… wrong.. I don't …. I … I … I am sorry Matt!" just then Beth's resolve shattered as her arms wrapped around Calen's back.

"I am sorry MATT… i love it!… it's soo good… I can't wait for you anymore… I WANT THISSSS…" As Beth shouted, Calen orgasmed for a final time. She squirted again as he pumped the last of what he had into her womb.

He caressed her face, "Forget about Matt, you are mine, Beth. I will make sure you feel bliss anytime you need it." Even though her face was filthy with tears and saliva he gave her an intense kiss. "Yes, I understand," Beth said in grief and sadness.

...

Beth woke up delirious from last night. The sun was high above as she haggardly stood and walked to the bathroom to bathe herself. Upon closing the door, she noticed her reflection in the mirror, something Calen said last night was stuck in her mind. As he penetrated her Calen yelled out "That little shit couldn't please you anyways…"

Beth smashed the mirror, would she be a regular woman blood would litter the floor, but she was a champion. The glass merely slid around her skin, not even irritating it. She couldn't look at herself in the mirror and then thought 'I missed my chance to be with you when I rejected our engagement, I am sorry Matt. You deserve more, I don't think I will reach out to you in the future…' Had Matt not died at that inn he would fight to the death to be with Beth but unfortunately Adel had no plans to pursue this maiden. In fact had Beth and Matt been fiancés or married when he inhabited his body he would have respected the dynamic and pursued a Beth route, but things don't just change because we want them to. Tears rolled down her face as she turned and readied for a bath.

…

In the hotel bar Kyle and Calen were having lunch with Ava "Wow that innocent-looking, big-tittied priestess was capable of that?"

"Well with some convincing she is," Calen said smugly. Kyle ate in silence, still not sure what to think of the night before. 'Was it all ok? Beth wasn't even drunk, but I heard her and him continue when I left the room' he shook his head and figured he must have freaked out.

"Hmm" Ava pouted "I know you guys like big boobs and mine are smaller than the other champions but don't think I will let you get away from keeping my cot warm."

While Ava announced this her hand grabbed both of their flaccid penises. "Hey, it's sensitive right now, and we are in public, show some decency." Calen rebutted.

"Yes, please try not to appear as lustful beasts in heat while in public." They stiffened and turned to look at Emily who was scowling, her arms crossed pushing up her chest plate.

"Tsk, try not to sound racist, it's bad taste for a human to call us beasts, if I hadn't known you for as long as we have I would be bashing your face in" Kyle growled.

Emily glared at him as the tension rose between the two.

"Hey there girlie, why all armored up?" Ava changed the subject.

Emily looked to Ava "Armor up and collect Beth we have been summoned by the Merchant Council and the Mayer to discuss something late afternoon today. Meet here ready as fast as you can."

The party looked at each other in confusion "Do you know the contents of the meeting lady Emily?" Calen asked, masking his true personality.

"Don't pretend to be noble in front of me you pointy-eared orc, and stop undressing me with your eyes, unlike these other girls I have something called dignity."

The tension rose again, Emily was sick and tired of having to travel with people who were less concerned with training and progress and more concerned with each other's genitalia.

She sighed and bowed her head a couple of times. "I am sorry, this isn't helping at all, I am really sorry I just lack sleep. To answer your question, they are being secretive, I do not know why they summoned us."

Calen gave a fake smile as he said "No offense taken, we will collect Beth and get ready. Perhaps take time to collect yourself before the meeting."

Emily was once again angered at his condescension, whenever he could he cast implications of her leadership. Like other Elves he resented not being in the top leadership role, the pride of that race was immeasurable. Emily turned away before the situation worsened and walked to her room. She was able to enjoy a night of peaceful sleep for the first time in a month since their expedition in the desert started. As she closed the door to her room and sat down for the warm tea at her coffee table, she picked up the summons she received this morning. She clutched her hands over her bountiful chest as she sent a thought to the sky 'Sir Matt, I believe I do your task injustice. I resent and bicker with our party. Our coordination and strength have increased but I can't believe this to be the party we need to stand against the RA. It is nothing but lustful, overpowered people with ego issues.' She sipped her tea and closed her eyes as she controlled her breathing. Hoping the council would not have more issues for her to handle.

…

The party filtered into the chamber where they found a long table in the middle with 5 chairs, it appeared to be a trial. They took their seats, the intimidating atmosphere did little to affect them, their strength far suppressed many present. If they worked together, they could kill everyone and have enough strength to leisurely walk back to their hotel. Just then the opposite corner door opened and a tall Jaguar warrior in full armor resembling Matt's design walked out. Beth's eyes opened wide as she stood up

"Father!?"

He raised his hand and gave a weak smile.

"Sweetie.. I mean Champion Beth, please be seated, this is not an informal meeting."

She followed his direction as he stood between the council and the party. A middle-aged man in fine robes with expensive accessories announced to the crowd.

"Under the power of the Merchant's Council and I Mayor Felber, I announce this emergency session open." Mana filled the room as runes lit up "Under goddess Maria no lies can be said without divine punishment from this point forward. I welcome the Champion's Party and the new Chieftain of the Jaguar tribe, 'Steel' Austin Yoatl."

Austin was 6'3'' the average height of the tribe's men and had a large figure. Broad shoulders and chiseled facial features emphasized the large scar on his face that extended above his eyebrow and came down to just under his ear. Beth trembled at the implication of the Mayer. 'If my dad is the new Chieftain, what happened to Matt and his dad?'

"Thank you for welcoming me Mayor Felber may I take over the meeting?"

"Please do so, everyone please hold all questions until after Austin has finished his business, only speak if referred to from this point on."

Slam* his gavel reverberated through the chamber. Austin bowed his head in gratitude.

"Champions, have any of you been in contact with Matthew Tequiti?"

The party looked at each other and Emily spoke up as the leader "I speak for us all, we have had no contact with Sir Matthew since we separated a year ago."

The party members nodded in agreement. "Why, what has happened?" Calen asked.

"I will ask the questions. Are any of you aware of a fox tribe woman that wields a single-edged thin curved sword?"

The group looked at each other once again and no one had an answer. "I've never even seen a fox tribe demihuman, I would have thought they went extinct along with the dwarves," Kyle stated in a joking manner.

Austin's blood lust filled the room "I assure you they are very real and they are very dangerous, this scar on my face is because of her." He coldly stated as he rubbed the scar on his face. Beth understood what this statement meant, her father was tied with Raging Ross Tequiti in terms of strength. They had never lost a battle together, someone who could gravely wound him was certainly no amateur.

"It seems you all truly do not know, I will say this. three months ago Matt came to our Capital Ocelotl with this woman. I was sworn to secrecy regarding this matter but now that Ross is dead and as the chief of the tribe, I will tell you all. Matt underwent a specific ritual under the guidance of the previous Chief. It is a bloodline ritual of the Chiefs family who have been the founding tribe family since the inception of Ocelotl, our capital was built with the engineering of the extinct dwarves. The ritual took roughly one month to complete, during this time the fox tribe woman known as Ayaka stayed at the Chief's palace. When he completed the ritual chaos ensued, I ran to the ritual's location with Ayaka and the Chieftain's guard when I saw a gruesome site."

Tears rolled down the stern man's face, the crowd waited in suspense as he continued his story.

"The young cub has become a demon…" the crowd gulped.

Emily stood from her seat "What do you mean!? Is the Rewera Alliance involved?"

Austin put up his hand to silence Emily. Her chest hurt at the thought of Matt being corrupted, she thought of him as a kindred soul and was not dense enough to ignore the fact that she had developed feelings for him.

"Matthew has gained the power to transform into a beast resembling a monster more than a demihuman. When I came to the scene of the crime Matthew had an appearance more like the legendary Jaguar our ancestor, face, and all. He stood around 7 feet tall without a trace of reason. His jaw clamped around Ross' neck as he opened a hole which he bled out from. He spat out the chunk of his father as he turned back into a demihuman."

After a brief pause to collect himself, he continued. "However, he was now significantly taller, I could tell from his face that it was Matthew but it was aged to look like a man and not a cub. He stood slightly taller than me, lacking the features of a Jaguar tribe member resembling more human with tattoos decorating his body. Whatever happened to him, it has certainly changed him… We were all shocked at the scene, before we could think Ayaka armed Matthew, and we fought. I was knocked unconscious and received this scar."

With a bitter expression on his face, Austin tried to keep his emotions in check. "As the highest authority in the tribe, I took over as Chieftain. You are here in case you may have been complicit in his crimes but from your expressions, I can tell this is not the case. Mayer Felber!"

Austin gestured to the Mayer. He nodded and directed the guards across the chamber.

"Thank you, Mayer, the guards are passing out drawings of Matthew's new appearance and Ayaka's appearance as well. We are placing a bounty on these criminals dead or alive for 1 million marks for Matthew and 250,000 marks for Ayaka the Fox Tribe assassin."

The crowd gasped and erupted into whispers and gossip. "At this point, I declare Matthew the former champion and Ayaka his accomplice as public enemy number 1 & 2 in the Vale Forrest!"

Beth fell unconscious at the news as the crowd continued into chaos. "He is no champion and no ally to the Alliance!" Austin spits in disgust "For the crime of regicide, and patricide I hope you all help us bring this bastard to justice!"
