Wound watched for a while after he stepped out of the portal. He determined that whatever Jinx was going through, it was entirely in his head. Jinx was just going to stand there stock still in front of the nice house that must have been where he grew up until he was done with whatever it was. Wound’s attention turned to Lexi.
"Ah. Ah. Ah." He stuck his arm out to stop the Green-furred tom from interrupting Jinx's important work.
"You need to sit down. Can't you feel the auric pull? Whatever is going on with your Orangelo, it's taking a lot of power. You are gonna start feeling it."
"I can feel the pull. But he's also... I don't know... lonely."
Wound was grateful Lexi wasn't gonna plow through him because he easily could have.
"That's not a bad word for it, Olexian. But we have reached a part of Jinx's journey where he has to face his truths and weaknesses alone." He caught Lexi as the number count
The birdbath was in the center of a field of tiles. At first glance, the tiles were laid out in a decorative pattern but Jinx recognized one of his games from childhood. This was going to be complicated beyond reason.Looking around, he couldn't see where the water would come from. He wondered if maybe he was wrong and this wasn't a game of flipping tiles and directing the water to the center of the gameboard where the birdbath was sitting."Please tell me this is just walking up to that thing and asking nicely," Jinx asked out loud, though not necessarily directing the question to any of his companions.Lexi moved to do just that. "Hey, would you mind making some water for us to drink?"Wound smacked his own forehead. "Please tell me it was okay for him to walk on those.""I have no idea." Jinx pulled Lexi back from the tiles, watching to make sure nothing happened. It seemed that the former demon hadn't activated anything. At least nothing
Though he was tempted to make a joke about not being invited to the orgy, Jinx was distracted by the swirling vortex of despair at the center of it. The shape was Doll but the energy was not how Jinx remembered the little no-fur. He pushed aside how weird it was to remember energy he had never seen before. The Godsight seemed to have gone back and overwritten all his memories with energy signatures.It didn’t matter right now. TheDoll-but-not-Doll no-fur was in pain. The dark sands swirling around the four bodies were blocking the other three from seeing that."Lexi, go in the other room. You shouldn't see this." Jinx covered his lover's eyes before Lexi could open them from the portal trip. Once he had Lexi safely tucked away, Jinx stalked back into the bedroom side of King's old prison suite and tried to determine what he could do. Because appearing out of thin air had done nothing."STOP!" He finally settled on yelling and pushing out a flash of p
Checking for King in the large bedroom Agent kept in the Persiana complex had proven to be a waste of time. The tom hadn't found his way back while Agent was away.No real surprise there. The ruler of the Underworld couldn't stay in the living world forever. He had duties and obligations. Agent considered crawling into the bed and sleeping until King returned, but his need to see his lover was stronger than his need to rest. There would be plenty of time for sleeping later.Taking the long way through his compound, Agent spent a little time checking in on his pet projects. Though he now had access to his God powers, he still wanted the research he was doing into the nature of no-fur magic and the bonding process to carry on. There were many different benefits of having that information. But the longer he spent going through the compound, the antsier he got to see King.How could it be that he could have such an ache for someone he had only just met? But then he
The beautiful scent of night-blooming flowers mixed with the tell-tale aroma of opening petals greeting the day brought Doll out of the dark into a state of wonder. He breathed it in the way someone drowned would breathe in those first few sighs of fresh air.For the moment, the no-fur was happy to just fill his lungs with the auric essence of his beloved plants. He didn't need to identify them one by one. The mix of their power and comfort was almost foreign and doing anything but being present with them would break the spell.Kind of how he didn't want to think too hard about, much less dissect, what had happened between himself, Hades, Spitfire, and Guru. Yes, it had been a lovely coming together of paws and hands, cocks and pockets, hearts and auras. But if he gave it too much consideration it might fall apart or turn into something wrong.Oddly, the tom he sensed around him was Jinx. Not anywhere close but still present, protecting them all.But wher
Walking out of the darkness he had been certain was full of nightmares into the soft light of a rooftop garden to find Doll waiting for him had been nothing short of bliss for Hades.Being buried balls deep in his no-fur's seeding pocket was whatever came after bliss. Maybe nirvana.Whatever it was, Hades was fully enjoying it. The hex magic toy was currently teasing Doll's ass while Hades took his time sliding in and out of his pocket. Whatever snide comments Doll wanted to make were, for the moment, kept silent by Hades's large paw over his mouth. He wanted no distractions as he worked himself to climax, nothing to provoke him to go faster or slower than he craved.Though that was a big ask with Doll. Just looking down into his copper eyes was enough to make Hades shift his hips and up his pace. The no-fur could make him crazy with just a glance and the look in his eyes right now was nothing but hunger. No, that wasn't quite right. Doll was absolutely hungry f
"It's about damned time you woke up!" Jinx's voice was much louder than usual. He was really upset. "Now you can tell me what the fuck happened here! All I'm getting out of this big oaf is 'um, you know, stuff.' Which is not helpful!" "Yeah, well, stuff is pretty accurate." Hades's groggy voice replied. His eyes were blinking awake, not really ready to focus on anything. "I don't see how it's your business, though." Jinx huffed. "It's my business when I walk in on an orgy when you lot were supposed to be on some kind of secret mission for Liam Martelli and I doubt getting your rocks off on some poor little no-fur was the mission! OH, and while we're on the subject, care to tell me what happened to make Doll not himself?" "What?" Hades shook his head, struggling for focus. "Doll. His aura is all wrong. What did you do?" Jinx demanded. Guru watched the interchange not sure where he fit here. Hades and Jinx went way back and he
The doorway into the Fates' sacred chamber was thrown open by a blast of angry Chaos power. Tricksy stalked in, his aura blasting out to project the Orangelo feline form from when he originally received his powers. Underneath the semi-transparent figure, Agent's body was still visible. His furless ears were laid back and his pointy teeth were fully bared."Every one of you twisted bastards owes me at least one favor. I am calling them in." Tricksy's voice echoed in the chamber, followed by a crack from his powers as his auric tail flicked in anger. "Give him back to me."Frog had been expecting this. Judging from Tarsi's defensive stance and Purl’s semi-annoyed reaction, he wasn't the only one."My champion, my nemesis. You speak out of turn." Frogspoke lightly but with absolute authority. Tricksy would get no special favor from him. And if he didn't know why, Frog would be happy to enlighten him."Do you want to discuss who is out of turn?" T
"We also love a challenge." Intarsia frowned at the number of cookies now in Agent's possession. Then he tapped the top of the tower holding the cookies and twice as many appeared. "That's better.""Protocol says you get to decide the asking order. Oh, and should you lie," Frog paused to munch on a giant pink and black cookie. "There will be direconsequences."Tarsi chuckled. "You should slam your tail again, Tricksy. That really could have used some thunder for effect.""If you don't want to decide the order, fate will decide for you," Frog said with much less drama as his mouth was full of cookies. "So you have to think, does the order matter? How should you word your questions? Do you really want to try to give false truths?""Really,Frog? It's Tricksy. You know you aren't impressing him. Want to make him squirm? Do it in the game... I mean, conversation." Tarsi nudged a cookie toward Purl before returning to savoring the scent of
