Chapter one: introductions
the town of Stelz was a large port town, it had a strong trade based economy. all the buildings the town were built with pure white stone that made the town seem very clean, salty ocean breezes would blow through the open market in the days. the town was a stopping place for many, including the small time smuggler Red, and his bodyguard. Red was a boar, and a very smart one at that. He had spent most of his life screwing over other furries for his own gain. It had earned him a large bounty, which is where the two hero's of the story come in, well at least one of them.
Lucas was a half dragon,half fox. His fur was a bright orange, but his dragon parts (his hands, and most of his chest and tail respectively) where a deep shade of purple. His scales where almost unbreakable, and like a full dragon he fought with his bare hands,but not being fully covered on armored dragon scales, Lucas adopted a more defensive style of fighting. Normally his partner would be at his side, a brown slim female saber cat, but as always when they drew close to their target, she disappeared to do her rouge thing, however she would pop up when he needed her.
I kept my wings folded up, and my tail quite calm as i followed Red, the boar was wearing a white suit, and the sun setting had called most of the towns civilians to their houses or the pubs, so the white streets where almost empty. I followed behind by at least fifty feet, keeping close but not too close, Red's one guard a young wolf didn't look to intimidating, but he was covered in steel armor, and I could easily see the magic glow around it. that could be a problem, but it was one I could face. I followed them quite easily, it really looked like he was only taking in sights around town, but the he made a strange turn into a dead end alley. I was pretty sure he moving to get a product or something he had someone stash there and I knew I had my chance so I ran up to corner him.
When I turned the corner I came face to face with the armed wolf and he had his sword drawn. Red snorted "think I don't know when a big guy like you is following me"! "now that's not fair I could take that as a hurtful remark" I replied. He snorted again, "well I don't really care if I hurt the feelings of a mixed up mutt like you", that remark really made me mad. The wolf had a one handed finely crafted war sword in his right hand, but nothing in his left. The wolf raised his right hand and swung his sword I dodged easily and punched into his armor, he didn't even feel it but I sure did my hand hurt like hell. I cursed as I grabbed my hand, "what kind of spell is that, a fucking don't punch spell"! Red snorted out a laugh again, "no its a special spell that only allows something made by the same smith affect it". That little bit of info was all I needed I looked at his sword, looked like the same guy or girl had made it.
He made another slash at me, I grabbed him by his arm, although I couldn't punch through his armor, I could easily twist the muscles in his arm without having to break through his armor. I twisted his arm in a way it should never go, the sword slipped from his hand, which I caught and with it arced it up, slicing his arm off, he fell back blood started to pour from the wound. "Heh looks like your guard has been disarmed". Red made a face caught somewhere between humor, and anger. He snorted again, "well I guess getting the same smith to forge the sword was pretty stupid, but I always have a back up". Red pulled from his pocket a scroll, he opened it, and after a flash of light it had become a glowing fireball in his hand. "I am not skilled as a fighter or in magic, but any mage would gladly accept some coin for a simple scroll". He held the flame up, and it cast an eerie light on him giving him a truly scary face. " And now you die" he said with a vile smile, and a twinkle in his eyes.
My dragon scales could easily absorb the magic blast, but my fur was flammable, it was a risk but I would have to try and catch the fireball in my claw. As he pulled back to throw, a shadow darted behind him and a flash of silver passed across his neck. The fire went out instantly, as he fell to his knees, a deep cut had found its way there, blood poured from it, Red fell all the way over, as his namesake covered his whole body. From behind where he had been, stood proud Lauren the plain brown sabercat. Her tail twitched as she purred. "Lucas you should thank me for saving your life, and scoring the bounty kill". She held her small knife (she had named it thirdfang) up to her mouth and licked the blood off, "he would make a great meal, to bad they need his body back at the base to conform the bounty". I snorted and a little bit of smoke came out of my nose, "Lauren, you took my kill, I had him". She gave as kind of a smile as you can give when you have two large fangs. "Its okay, I usually kill the mark anyway".
I snorted again billowing more smoke out of my nose, "only because you take my kills at the last moment". She sighed and muttered something before walking in front of the bodies. She pulled a ice blue smooth stone from a pouch on her side, she dropped it, it hit the hard ground and shattered. The shards melted to a liquid that then formed into the shape of a mirror that rose into the air and faced us. It started to glow and the image of Cristina, the half fox half deer appeared before us. She was a very beautiful creature, she worked as the receptionist for our merc clan, she was currently behind her desk over a ocean away. "what do you need from me" she asked in her most sweetest voice. Lauren moved away from the mirror, other than me and any lady she didn't work with, she was quite shy, and I stepped up to the mirror. "Well Cristina we have claimed the bounty of Red the Boar smuggler. A non hit target was killed in the process, but I move to sell his wears to the clan, and there is a rare armor set in their, so I think I covered my mistake, and Red has been slain, it was Lauren who did the kill, so she gets the kill bonus".
"very well Niko go get the bodies, and gear. Take Sitka so he can track down anything, if they have anything we can use that Red hid. There was a puff of smoke, and before stood the small slender calico cat Niko, her magic was transportation, and she even told stories of going to other worlds were she was just a pet. It didn't matter, she was one of Cristina's "dark twins", the other of course being Sitka, a black and white husky male he was beside Niko holding her hand so he could be transported here, he let go and ran off into nearing night of the town. Niko laid one hand red, and the other on his guard, and in another puff off smoke they where all gone. Cristina made a serious face, you guys go find an inn we will have another contract for you in Stelz. The connection ended, the mirror collapsed into a small smooth stone that Lauren stored into the pocket she had pulled it from. With the communications done we searched for a not so crowded inn, we found one called Welcome inn. It was a silly name, but for 60 silver pieces we could get a room for the night and a meal before we went of to bed, however the deal was meant for two or more and Lauren refused to sleep in the same room as me, so I took a one room deal, of course with a meal before we went off to bed.
The meal was quite good, lots of ale was served for one pint for five silver pieces, I ended up getting heavily drunk off my 6th or 7th one, so I went upstairs , casting one glance at my partner to see her surrounded by a lot of village girls. She was already on the prowl, I stumbled through the upper hall until I came to my room. There I had to fight with getting the key to go into the hole in the doorknob, but with a little patience I managed to get it in. I walked in to my room slumped into my bed and was instantly asleep. The next morning I was woken by a burning pain in my chest, my communication stone was being called, but Lauren had them in her pouch, but the burning feeling was getting worse. I stood up, and slowly moved to Lauren's room where I opened the door. Lauren was stretched out naked sitting on the muzzle of one of the village girls, from what I could tell, a golden retriever was perched under her. I couldn't make out the young canine face, but her tongue was happily lapping all of Lauren's tight wet pussy. Which was dripping wet. My focus went up to the top half of Lauren her tongue was out, she was blushing furiously. "Hey Lauren, do you mind if I help her and give you a lick or two, her face grew furious. "You know I only like girls Lucas", "Then can I have a lick of her". "I am about to get busy on getting her off", "hey Lauren we are partners, let me help you so you want be busy". A flash of silver and thirdfang was buried into the wood of the door.
I closed the door and moved away from her room, the burning pain was getting worse, so id have to go to plan B. I entered the wash room, and luckily there was a mirror. I pulled out a small vial that hung as a charm on my bracelet, the other charms were the same as this one. Each vial was unbreakable and would only open in my command, in each on was stored a purple liquid. I took the one in my hand and said "open", and the top opened wide. I then proceeded to pour the liquid over the mirror from the top, it moved slow but it covered the mirror in purple. The image of Cristina appeared, "so Lucas, did you lose your stone"? I shook my head, "no its with Lauren, and shes...ahem busy, so I had to do it the old way". Cristina nodded her head, "Well your lucky, the bounty price, plus the payment for that armor and sword, minus the cost for the innocent kill you came up two silvers richer than Lauren and her kill bonus".
I smiled big at that, "oh Cristina I could kiss you for that news", her reply was a goofy face, "buddy no, bad boy". She laughed then cleared her throat, you and Lauren are going to love this, the details are stored in a basket in your room" she winked "have fun"the connection ended and the purple goo turned to dust. I walked to my room, and there was a small basket next to my bed. I opened it and pulled out the scroll inside. I now understood why Cristina told me to have fun, our next target was to kill Vance, the bodyguard of Vanilla, then capture Vanilla. There was also an odd side objective to grab a vial of blue glowing liquid. The thing was that Vanilla was an overly sexual prostitute at the nearby brothel. I smiled as I weighted for Lauren to finish, the next job should by far be the best one yet.
