I didn't think I'd type this for a while yet but if you're under 18, bug out.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

I woke up to blinding light shining into my closed eyes. I groan and roll over, burying my face into the pillows.

"The prince wants you present when he meets with Charles" I roll back over and sit up. At the foot of the bed is a gray wolf holding a pile of clothes.

"Ach when's the meeting?" I ask him

"In about an hour" I jump out of bed and he holds out a pair of blue pants. After I get the pants on he hands me the matching shirt.

"Where's the meeting being held?" I ask before I pull the shirt over my head.

"The master requests you and the prince join him for breakfast first" I walk past the wolf and open the door and then stop.

"I don't know what wing I'm in" I mutter to myself before turning to face the wolf "what wing am I in?"

"The east wing sir"

"Oh right" I look at the window realising the sun is shining almost straight in. I turn around and head down the hall. It takes a few minutes but I find the door to the dining hall. I stop outside the door to compose myself. I walk through the door. Steb and Charles are sitting at one end of a long table, talking. Charles sees me walking over and jumps up.

"Bris! Did you sleep well? You're just in time" he walks over to me, grabs my arm and pulls me to a chair opposite Steb. After I sit down he claps twice and sits down. Three servants carrying trays of meat, fish and bread come out. When they set down the trays we dig in. Between mouthfuls we chat idly about things.

After breakfast Charles calls for the servants to clean the plates and for us to follow him. He leads us out to a garden behind the main keep but separated from the city. In the middle of the garden is a pavilion, Charles leads us to it. We sit down at a bench in it.

"So Steb" Charles begins "you want to lead a counter attack against the Dutch?"

"Aye"

"With my army?"

"Aye"

Charles leans back in his chair, thinking. "No" he says after a few seconds.

"WHAT?! WHY NOT?!" Steb shouts

"The men know me and I know the men, I know the won't like me being replaced so why don't you fight with my unit?"

"I dunno ..." Steb begins

"If you want to spill Dutch blood I can guarantee you will"

"... ok" Steb agrees reluctantly

"Excellent!"

"Also there should be a merc group arriving soon with two prisoners, they helped us so..."

"Don't worry young prince they'll be treated well"

"Actually Miu will expect a reward for the prisoners"

"Ah, heh, how mercenary of her" A guard walks out the door. The guard walks up to Charles and whispers something into his ear. "Your friends are here, do you want to join me?" Steb and I both nod. Charles leads us to the main hall. Charles offers the chair to Steb but he shakes his head.

"Its your castle" Charles sits in the chair and gestures at the guards to let them in, Steb and I stand behind him. The guards open the door and Miu, Bill and Ollie enter carrying the two prisoners over their shoulders. Miu and Bill throw the prisoners to the ground.

"Why have you brought them to me?" Charles asks them

"We think they may have information that may be of use" Miu speaks up. Ollie looks at me and I flash him a quick smile.

"That's a lot of possible, you expect payment?" Miu nods "I assume you're staying at the only inn in the castle?" again, Miu nods "I'll send someone around with a finders fee, if they provide useful information I'll send more" Miu bows and leaves with Bill and Ollie in tow. Charles gestures to the guards again and they drag the prisoners off to the dungeons. Steb turns to me.

"Could you go to Miu and find out what happened to the rest of her group?"

I nod "Sure"I start walking to the door when Charles calls my name.

"Bris!" he throws a pouch at me. I catch it and look inside, it holds a few coins "Its their payment" I nod again and continue out the door. Steb starts talking to Charles.

I enter the inn and ask the owner where Miu's group are staying. He points me to the rooms. I knock on the door to Miu's room. She calls out for me to enter. The room is spartan in furnishings. Just two beds and a table.

"Bris?" she says with surprise "Why are you here?" I throw her the pouch of money and she catches it without flinching.

"Your pay. Steb sent me to find out what happened to Mei, Acanda and Anne" She tosses the pouch onto a bed.

"Dutch light cavalry caught up with us, we split up to lose them. They should be here in a few hours to days"

"Are you worried about them?"

"No, they can use the forest to lose the Dutch. So why didn't Steb come?"

"Probably picking Charles' brain about battle tactics"

"So he'll get his counter attack after all"

"Aye, but he won't be leading it. So what will you do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Will you join the army? Or Steb?"

"No and no, I don't want to make any decisions without everyone here and we're not exactly bodyguards"

"Ok well I guess that's all" I turn to leave.

"Give my best to Steb" Miu says when I walk out the door. On a whim I cross the hall and knock on the door. Ollie opens the door.

"Hi did ya-" is all I can get out before he pulls me in the room. He shuts the door with a click. When I turn around he's leaning against the door looking embarrassed.

"Um... hi" he mumbles

"I guess you missed me" he just nods, looking off to the side. "Ollie, what's wrong?" I take a step closer. Without warning he jumps forward, hugs me and kisses me. The unexpectedness of it surprises me but after the initial shock passes I part my lips allowing his tongue to explore my maw. After what seemed like hours our lips part and he steps back again.

"Uh ... I-I'm sorry!" he cries before running out.

"Ol wait!" I call after him and race to the door but he's already gone. Miu sticks her head out her door.

"What happened?"

"I dunno, he kissed me then ran"

"Oh ... I'll find him and talk to him, you best report back to Steb"

"Ok, make sure to tell him I'm not mad" She nods and we both leave the inn. She goes in search of Ollie and I go back to the keep. Thinking the entire walk back.

When I get back to the keep a guard informs me Steb and Charles have moved back to the garden. When I get to the garden I see Steb and Charles pouring over a map.

"No we can't do that, your father took them south"

"Well can't your trebuchets take out the towers?" Charles shakes his head

"Not enough of them"

"Planning?" I ask them

"Aye" they reply in unison

"It's not looking good for us" Steb begins "We have to attack the undamaged side of the city so they'll have the cannon towers and we don't have enough things to throw at them to break said towers, so our siege towers will be severely damaged"

"What about nearby towns and forts? Won't they have some extra artillery pieces?"

"They should, messengers have already been dispatched" Charles says

"So at the moment we may not be able to get through the walls or over them, why not under them?" I ask

"No, like I told Steb, the king has taken all nearby sappers south"

"So what about getting a spy in the city? He could have a chance of getting the gates open"

"We already had a spry in the city, remember, Richard?"

"Oh yeah ... so what now?"

"Now we get you two to the armoury to get you some real weapons and armour" Charles says before leading us to the armoury. Outside, the armoury is a nondescript building. Inside the walls are lined with weapons, from tiny daggers to massive two-handed long-swords and everything in between. I choose a mace and a short-sword, Steb chooses a longsword. After choosing the weapons we find sets of armour that fit us. The armour is standard plate, both of us forego helmets and shields. Charles tells the arms master to have the armour sent to our rooms.

After getting our equipment Steb goes to inspect the soldiers with Charles and I go back to the inn. I knock on Miu's door. She opens the door a crack and tells me to speak to Ollie in his room. She shuts the door, I hear a thud shortly after. I knock on Ollie's door and he opens it.

"Oh ... Hi" he stands there shyly, not looking me in my eye "If this is about what happened earlier, I'm sorry I-" I put a finger across his lips.

"Don't be" he stares at me with wide eyes. I remove my finger and kiss him. He wraps his arms around my neck and starts pulling me into the room. He spins me around and kicks the door shut. With our tongues exploring each others mouths we fumble with our shirts, trying to get them off. We have to break the kiss to pull our shirts over our heads. As soon as our shirts are off Ollie jumps back on me, pulling me into another impassioned kiss. He starts walking me backwards toward the bed. He pushes me back onto the bed. I sit up and pull his pants down revealing his perfect, brown furred balls and the tip of his cock already poking out of his sheath. I pause to look at him. The light brown fur of his face continues down to his balls and a bit further onto the underside of his tail and a little down the inside of his legs, the rest of him is a rich dark brown. I move closer and inhale the smell of his arousal before licking the tip of his cock. His cock quickly grows, his excitement evident. I use one paw to stroke the base of his cock and I fondle his balls with the other paw as I take most of his cock into my maw. I start bobbing my head and sucking on his cock. I hear him moan with pleasure. He starts gently thrusting and running his fingers through my head fur. Eventually he grabs my head and guides it, I let my hands drop away while he uses me. This goes on for several minutes before his thrusting starts becoming erratic. He starts grunting with every thrust until finally he screams his pleasure and buries his cock in my maw. He shoots rope after rope of hot salty cum down my throat. The main force of his orgasm fades and I pull off a bit to let his cum land on my tongue. His cock throbs as I suck the last drops of cum out of it. I sit back and swallow the last of his cum. He crouches down and pulls me into another kiss, getting the residual cum from my mouth. He starts rubbing my cock through my pants when a knock at the door makes us jump. He goes to the door and opens it a crack. As he converses with the person on the other side of the door I stare at his tight buns partially covered by his thick tail.

"Yeah ok, we'll be out in a minute" He closes the door and walks over to the pile of clothes "The others are back, we have to meet them up at the castle" He bends down and picks up his pants. I get up and walk over to him and massage his butt.

"Do we have to?" he stands up, turns around and hands me my shirt.

"Yes, you have to guard the prince and Miu wants me to be with the entire group"

I sigh and mutter "Damn" Ollie just smiles and pulls on his pants. We get dressed and meet Miu and Bill just outside the inn. The four of us go back to the keep.

The guards let us into the keep without hassle. We all proceed to the main hall where Mei, Acanda and Anne are already talking with Charles, Steb is standing behind Charles' chair.

"Ah good, now we can get down to business" Charles says as I take my place beside Steb and Ollie, Miu and Bill stand with the others "You said you have something to report?" Charles asks

"Yes, we believe the Dutch may have more soldiers than you think" Mei answers "If you go ahead with the attack you risk being out numbered two-to-one"

"What makes you think this?" Anne steps forward

"I listened in on their camp one night, some of the things they said indicated at it"

"Is it possible they knew you were there?" Steb asks

"I suppose it is pos-" Anne begins but Miu interrupts her "I have the utmost confidence in Anne's ability to remain hidden"

"Hmm... it's possible that they had that discussion every night just in case someone was watching" Charles states, half in thought. "Well thank you for the information"

Miu steps forward "Have you gotten anything out of the prisoners yet?"

"No not yet, they are ... resilient"

"Well if there's nothing else?"

"No that's all, you may go" They all bow and leave. Steb turns to Charles.

"Do you think they do have more soldiers?"

"I doubt it but we shouldn't take the risk, the army will move out tomorrow."

The rest of the day passes with Steb doing an inspection of the war machines, battle plans and another review of the battle tactics. Steb also sparred with a few soldiers before Charles had to step in and fight him himself, Charles won, but only just. I would have gone back to Ollie but without a reason I couldn't leave Stebs' side again. Dinner comes and goes and they still haven't gotten anything out of the Dutch scouts. I retire to my room after Steb. Before I enter my room I notice an unusually tall servant woman, with the cowl of her cloak drawn to cover her face, enter Stebs' room. I think nothing of it. I start getting ready for bed by taking my weapons belt off when I hear a thud followed by a crash from Stebs' room. I rush out to the hall where I almost knock over a castle boy.

"Get the guard!" I yell at him before charging into Stebs' door. The door flies open and stumble into the room. I do a quick scan of the room and see Steb on the ground wrestling with the servant woman from before. I see an orange rolling towards me and a glint of silver nearing Stebs' throat. I charge at the assassin without thinking. I collide the assassin and my momentum causes us to roll. When we stop he is on top of me, still holding the knife. He raises the knife over his head, grasping it with both hands. He thrusts the knife down but I cross my arms to stop it. Our forearms collide and it becomes a test of strength and endurance. He has the advantage, being on top and the knife begins to inch closer and closer to my throat. I can feel the tip of the knife prick against my throat when suddenly I hear a crash and the assassins' eyes roll into the back of his head. I roll him off me and lay there for a few seconds to catch my breath.

"Bris are you ok?" I hear Steb ask, the concern in his voice evident.

"Yeah I'm fine, help me up" Steb reaches out his hand and I use it to pull myself up. As soon as I stand up two guards come bursting into the room with swords drawn.

"Great work men" I kick the unconscious assassin "Take his to the dungeon see if anything can be got from him, I'm going to bed" I walk past the guards and collapse onto the bed. Before I fall asleep I hear Steb tearing into the guards.

"Who the bloody hell let him in here?" I distinctly hear him yell before storming down the hall to tear someone a new one.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Not very happy with this chapter am I. I got stuck several times, i don't like the last paragraph, hate the chapter title too but i couldn't come up with anything else. This chapter hasn't been proofed so ... yeah ... tell me if there is a difference. Thanks to Steb for letting me use his character and thanks to Banehollow for the series name. Also comments, please any and all comments are welcome, especially ones that can help me improve. hmm ... I think that's everything.

I'm walking through a forest. My quarry is ahead around the next corner, behind the next tree, ever one step in front, ever beyond reach. All I've seen of my quarry is a brown furred arm here, a tail there. "Wake up sleepy" "Wah?" "We're breaking...

"God Damn them" He muttered "Fifty-eight" "What?" "You've told god to damn them 58 times since we fled the other night" "Have I? Well I guess it's because I'm angry! And why am I angry?" he stated with a cool anger "Because the Dutch captured...
