The Royal Gryphon - Discovery
Taelin sat on his bed quietly. He was quite depressed on this day, because his parents had forbidden him to go with the King's Army on their raid of Daleforde. It just so happened that his father 'was' the king, so he really didn't have any say in the matter at all. He wanted to do something, all of his friends were heading off into the great battle, and he wanted to be by their side.
He could hear his parents' arguments now;
"You're just too young and inexperienced," or,
"You are the only heir to the royal throne and we can't afford to risk that."
They were just so protective of him because he was their only successor. Instead, he had gone to his room to ponder what he could do about it. Taelin stood up and looked in the mirror. He ran his fingers over his sharp, pointy ears, slowly covering them with his hooded cloak. Nobody but his parents knew he was an elf, and he could pass for a human on any street.
Unfortunately, he was extremely good-looking, which led him to be pursued by many of the towns' female inhabitants. He was royal-blooded, charming, rich and handsome, what more could they want? Still, he never found himself drawn to any of them, and he didn't know why. His mother always told him he would know when the right girl came along.
So he sighed, and lay back on the bed with a loud thump. There really was nothing he could do. A soft noise from his doorway made him look. He thought it might be his father, but on a second check he realized it was coming from his window. He stood up and walked over to the curtains, drawing them back quickly.
He smiled when he saw Talos, the family gryphon, standing at his window. He opened the door to let his furry/feathery friend into his room. Strictly speaking, Taelin wasn't allowed to have the large gryphon in his room, but his room was very large and he didn't mind. He knew he was very lucky, because Gryphons cannot be controlled or tamed, and choose to live with or help only those they deem worthy.
Talos has come to the Holstworth Kingdom a few years ago, before Taelin was a teenager. He had just appeared one day and had decided not to leave. It was said in folklore and legend that gryphons were a sign of good luck, and a good King. Therefore, it was highly beneficial to have one in the royal family.
His father had been quite surprised when the gryphon entered his grand hall unexpectedly. Everyone had been even more surprised when his father, the King, had bowed down before it! The King didn't bow to anyone, at least, not until Talos had arrived. He knew the legends and superstitions and knew that it was a great honour.
Over the years Talos and Taelin had created a fantastic relationship. Talos visited Taelin every day, which kept them both happy. Talos would sit next to the bed whilst Taelin rubbed his amazing head and told him about his day. They spent a lot of time together, and had even flown together a few times.
It was said that it was impossible to ride a gryphon, but Taelin had done it. He knew that all it took was a good bond of friendship and trust, and they could do anything. Under the cover of darkness, Taelin and Talos had flown across the nearby forest, taking in the ghostly view. He had almost been caught by his parents, but he had returned just in time to fake being asleep.
Talos had flown into Holstworth because he had been drawn there. He knew that something was going to happen there that was of major significance in his life. His species were gifted with the power to feel out important places and events, and that power has brought him to Taelin. The boy didn't know it yet, but Talos wasn't here for the Kingdom or for the King, he was here for one reason: Taelin.
Talos wasn't sure what role the young elf would come to play in the events of his life. Even so, he wasn't too concerned anymore. He had found that he enjoyed spending personal time with the elf, passing the hours away by listening to the tales he told. He enjoyed this time immensely, and, after a few years, finally allowed Taelin to ride him.
Taelin didn't know it, but it was the ultimate sign of respect and trust for a gryphon to allow anyone or anything on its back. Now, they were close friends and spent every day together. Talos had chosen to assist the Kingdom in his free time, making Taelin even happier. His parents had noticed the unusual amount of control their son had over their long-time resident, and commented on it frequently.
"We've got a long battle ahead of us," Taelin informed the attentive avian, "It could go on for days. What are you going to do?" Talos replied by looking at him with his piercing, brown eyes. Oddly enough, they flashed blue sometimes.
"You want to stay with me?" he asked. Talos nodded, he could understand perfect English. He just couldn't speak it.
Taelin got out of his large bed, which took up half of the already enormous room, and looked out the window. Talos sat next to him, staring into the distance. Looking at the large gryphon, he once again noted all of its stunning features. No matter how many times he saw Talos he was always just as amazed by him every time.
Talos stood at a height just shorter than Taelin, but was quite long. His tail swished slowly behind him, looking exactly like a lions, but it had a split pointy end which Taelin knew was for control during flight. The underside was furry, soft and plush whilst the top of the tail has a thick line of feathers running along its length.
Also, Talos' tail wasn't the only thing that had multiple coats. His powerful hind legs were covered in fur, with pads like a feline would usually posses, but his front ones were deadly, hard and taloned, like an eagle. A furry underbody ran into a feathery spine, and then the stunning avian wings. Taelin loved the wings on his friend, they were always so soft.
His wings were quite large when completely spread; smooth and streamlined. Talos loved flying just as much as he loved spending time with Taelin. Talos' head was quite interesting to look at. He had furry, rounded ears, more fur and a couple of feathers running below his jaw and a cool-looking beak which curved slightly.
His eyes were a sharp, piercing brown and bright blue at the same time. Taelin had no idea how that worked, but he gotten used to it. Talos was brown with white areas on his body, arranged in patterns. He was quite a sight to behold, and Taelin was glad he was on their team. He would make a formidable enemy.
Still, Taelin had never seen Talos get angry before. He even wondered if his airborne friend had ever fought anything in his life. Suddenly, there was a knock on his door
"Taelin, if you please?" came the voice from the door.
He recognized the voice as his father's immediately, and signalled to Talos, who leapt out of the window and soared off into the castle grounds. Taelin walked to the door and opened it for his father, who walked in brusquely. Taelin stared at him; he had never looked this worried.
"Taelin," his father said with his rich, deep voice, "I feel that you should have the opportunity to go to the battle if you wish."
Taelin looked at him in surprise, that was not what he had expected.
"But I thought-"
"Your mother doesn't agree with me on this," he continued, "but I feel that as the Prince of Holstworth you need the experience to be a leader later in life.
Taelin nodded, he was scared but excited at the same time.
Scratching his beard, his father added, "I do expect you to uphold the family honour, son." Taelin nodded his head fervently, he would like nothing more that to be able to do his army proud.
He stood up and looked his father in the eye.
"When do I start?" he asked with a small smile
"Effective immediately, so go now," the King replied. Taelin nodded and opened the door for his father as he left the room.
"I'm proud of you, Taelin," he said as he passed. Taelin smiled and closed the door behind him. He quickly walked to the window and threw it open, poking his head outside. He couldn't see his buddy anywhere, so he closed it again and returned to his bed.
It was going to be a long day.
*** Two Weeks Later ***
"Alrighty then, Taelin, come with me," demanded Grisholm, the army 'drill sergeant'. Taelin nodded and proceeded to follow him into a large building. He waved to some of his new comrades, who gave half-hearted ones back. They knew he was getting some kind of job and wished they were in his place.
Sitting down on a large slab of stone, Grisholm rubbed his chin.
"Over the last few weeks you have performed admirably," he said gruffly, "and it is my wish that you are to be given your first task. Because you are relatively strong, extremely light and agile, I want to make you a scout."
"And what would that entail, Sir," asked Taelin eagerly.
"Well, we would put you with an existing group of three soldiers. Scout companies have to be small and fast, ready to move at any time. You would get hands-on training and I feel it would benefit you greatly."
Taelin nodded, glad to have finally found a place to work for his country. He shook Grisholm's outstretched hand, and walked out from the room with a smile on his face. He would finally be able to get out and see the world, even if it was only a little part of it. He was also glad they were starting soon, it meant less time for him to wait.
Taelin had no idea just how soon they wanted him to work. As he left Grisholm's office, he immediately found himself flanked by three other men, each bearing the insignia of the army Scouts. There was an awkward silence before one of them spoke.
"He'll do fine," the smallest of them said. After that it was no-holds barred introductions and conversations.
Three hours later, in a bar with his new best friends, they were still going strong.
"So," began short one, whose name he had found was Alucas, "Whadda ya think, boys? We gotta be extra careful with this'un, what with him bein' the kings son an' all."
"I can handle myself, thankyou very much," replied Taelin with mock indignation. The others laughed in merriment, but it was cut short when the tallest one, Trent, dropped to his knees, his jaw wide open.
"My God!" he exclaimed. Taelin and the other two followed his gaze until it fall upon a shadow at the door.
The three Scouts stared in amazement and Taelin clasped his hands in a thankyou to whatever gods were watching. It was Talos, of course, in all his glory, fur shining and feathers blowing softly in the breeze. The others had no idea about his friend, so he looked at Talos and winked. The gryphon winked right back, being highly intelligent he knew that Taelin was going to live this one up.
The other gasped as Taelin stood up boldly and approached the dangerous, legendary beast, or at least, that's what it seemed like to them. Reaching out with his hand he could hear their collective breaths catch as his fingers slid slowly down Talos' feathery spine. The last Scout, Harlen, almost fainted, but managed to keep his composure.
Turning back to them, Taelin allowed Talos to rub his head against his waist affectionately.
Trent stuttered, "Blimey, it's a-"
"Gryphon, and he's my personal friend and confidant," finished Taelin with a smile. They all stared at him incredulously.
"It's amazing," Harlen said in evident awe. All three of them bowed to Talos respectfully before they approached. They were even more surprised when he returned the gesture.
"He's intelligent," Trent stated.
"More so that you or I," Taelin informed him. They all looked back at the gryphon before them with increased respect and wariness. They still couldn't believe that Taelin had befriended one of the most respected legendary creatures in the world. This immediately gained respect from the three scouts, whose courage seemed to have returned now that they knew he wasn't wild.
After a few more minutes, they had all become adjusted to Talos' presence, and found that he was actually quite engaging, considering he couldn't speak. Taelin managed to convince the others not to talk about Talos in public, because it was only them and the bartender who had seen it, and the bartender was a friend of the King.
The conversation continued
*** One week later ***
"What can ya' see?" Alucas whispered. Trent slid around stealthily but shook his head.
"I can't get a good position on them," he said quietly, "I've got no line of sight." Taelin crept softly through the tree cover, trying not to make any noise. They were only fifty meters from the enemy encampment and it would not do well to get caught.
Alucas accidentally snapped a branch with a loud crack and they all froze, but nobody heard. Breathing a sigh of relief, Taelin squinted through the thick leaves, trying to see what lay beyond. They had been tasked with finding out information about a new enemy camp that had appeared. It was the smallest, but definitely the closest to the kingdom.
Moving carefully, Trent slipped in beside Taelin.
"Still can't see anything?" he asked. Taelin shook his head but then stopped.
"Trent..." he said quietly and then spun around...
Only to have no fewer than five blades aimed straight at them, held by enemy soldiers who looked like they had gotten out of the wrong side of bed.
"Surrender without a fight and we'll spare your lives," one of them said gruffly. Taelin opened his mouth to speak but Trent overrode him, hitting the man with some very well placed expletives.
They didn't like that, and one of them quickly grabbed Trent and threw him on the ground, joined by the other two soon after. Taelin tried to stop them but they threw him in the pile as well, before the soldiers started kicking them mercilessly. They all curled up into little balls, the kicks hitting the everywhere, leaving large bruises.
Suddenly, a beam of white light struck their attackers in the face. Bursting through the canopy of the forest, Talos hurtled down towards them at breakneck speed, slamming into two of the soldiers and sending them crashing to the ground. The four Scouts stood up and watched in amazement, Taelin included, as Talos went to town on the group of soldiers.
Talons flashed and bodies flew everywhere, it was a sight to behold. Unfortunately, whilst Talos was dispatching one of them, the remaining soldier lifted his bow and aimed it straight at the angry avian. The arrow struck true, but it wasn't enough for the last soldier, whose bow was snapped into two by the raging Talos and who found himself the same way a few seconds later.
"Talos!" Taelin shouted, running over to his gryphon. Talos rubbed his head against Taelins' chest, but this time it was a gesture of farewell that Taelin recognised from his friend. Talos dropped on his side, and Taelin finally saw the arrow sticking out from his heart.
"Oh, no, it can't be," Taelin said, his pulse quickening as he looked at the others, who had finally recovered fully.
"Quick, help me get him back; he's too heavy for me to lift. Talos needs urgent attention from a healer." Taelin watched as the three Scouts ran over swiftly.
"We've got ya' back," Alucas told him, before they lifted up the heavy gryphon and began the trek back.
*** Four hours later ***
Panting and completely worn out, Taelin and the Scouts lay slumped outside the royal healers' room. Talos had been taken in, and now they waited for a result.
"Thankyou for your help today," Taelin said gratefully.
"Don't worry about it," Harlen told him, "Us three have been together for four years now, and if we've learned something, it's that sticking together and helping your mates is the best way to be happy yourself. It also keeps the team strong." Taelin nodded, it was advice he couldn't help be agree with.
He threw a glance at the door where his friend was being treated, and then stared at his feet. He didn't know what he would do if Talos didn't make it. How would he tell his father? Every time even the slightest noise came from the room they all stood up, only to sit down again once they realized it was another false alarm.
Everyone was on edge, even the other three Scouts knew that losing a gryphon was not a good omen, and Taelin just wanted his friend back. They sat in silence for many minutes, until finally, the door creaked open and the royal healer poked her head out from the room.
"Come in," she told them. Taelin leapt to his feet and rushed in, almost knocking the woman over.
He spied Talos lying across a slab covered with bed sheets, long strips of some material wrapped around his broad chest.
"Is he going to be alright?" he demanded. The healer stepped forward and rubbed her chin.
"He was extremely tricky to fix but it seems the arrow just missed anything important so he should live with a few weeks rest."
He hugged her, much to her surprise and ran over to his wounded friend. The other three scouts stood in the doorway passively, glad that they had saved such a sacred creature. He leant down and put his hand on Talos' furry head and rubbed his ears affectionately.
"You did it for me, didn't you?" he said softly.
Talos slowly opened an eye and peered at Taelin, nodding ever so slightly. A wave of gratitude ran through Taelin, but when he looked again Talos had drifted off to sleep. He stood up and turned to the healer.
"Can he be transported to my quarters for further rest? It would be much more convenient."
"It can be done, Sir," the healer replied, "I could have him there in a few hours. I just have to make a few adjustments to his bandages."
"Thankyou kindly," Taelin said before turning to the others.
"You can go now. I will be taking a few weeks leave to tend to Talos, but when he is recovered, I will be back. You can count on it."
"No problem," Trent told him, "we probably won't be getting any missions for a while, and really, if it wasn't for your bird there, we would all be dead or worse. So don't worry about it, we'll just explain to the Commander that you're taking care of a sick relative."
He walked forward and shook Taelins' hand, the other two doing the same after.
As they turned to leave, Alucas looked back at him.
"Make sure ya' back soon, right. We need good men like ya in our ranks." Taelin nodded, tapping his Scouts insignia on his tunic.
"I will be, don't worry."
*** The next day ***
Taelin awoke to see absolutely nothing. At first this scared him quite well, but then he realised that it was just a big mound of feathers and fur. He swiftly remembered that he had a Gryphon in his bed and decided to get up. He put his clothes on quietly, hoping to wake Talos, but found his friend staring at him.
"Morning," Taelin said as he finished tying up his shirt. Talos made a small noise in reply, and Taelin smiled.
"Feeling better, are we?" he said, sitting down on the bed. Talos nodded and purred as Taelin stroked his large underbelly. They stayed there in silence for a while, but Taelin did have duties to do, so he stood up and left his gryphon to recover.
*** 1 week later ***
Talos looked up as Taelin entered the room. He cried out in happiness, his elven friend had been gone for two days on a royal council meeting. He put his front legs on Taelins' shoulder as the elf hugged him tightly, careful not to hurt him with his sharp talons. Over the past few days he had been able to walk again.
It had been difficult for Taelin, being unable to check on his friend, and he had also become accustomed to sleeping in the same bed as the very heavy gryphon. Then again, his luxurious bed could hold three gryphons easily. He walked over and lay down on the mattress, slowly taking his clothes off. He climbed under the sheets and smiled as he felt the weight of Talos appear next to him.
Talos lay down, carefully folding his wings as he did so. Taelin waited for a minute before turning over so he could look his friend in the eye. Talos stared back before lifting a wing slowly. Taelin took the invitation wordlessly, snuggling up to the warm avian body. He wrapped his arms around the large chest of the gryphon, putting his head against him.
He could hear the powerful heartbeat against the furry mass, soothing, yet strong. Smiling, Taelin closed his eyes, feeling safe and protected for harm whilst in the embrace of his friend. Talos purred contentedly; he was never happier than when he was with the elf beside him. He ran his claw down Taelins' back and the adolescent shuddered in return.
"Talos," Taelin whispered quietly, "can I ask you something?" He sat up slowly and wriggled free from the gryphon's warm wing. Talos nodded, indicting for him to continue.
"It's been a while since I thought about this, and I never thought I'd bring it up." He sighed, running a hand through the soft fur beside him.
"When... I mean, uh, well... when are you going to be finished here?" He scratched his chin and Talos cocked his head questioningly.
"Well," he continued, "It's said in legends that Gryphon's only appear to people when there is great need. I assume you're here for the war, so what are you going to do after that? Leave? Disappear and never return? Tell me!"
A tear rolled from his cheek as he spoke, he couldn't imagine being without his personal friend and confidant. He looked at Talos to see the gryphon shaking his head.
"What is it then? Why are you here? What are you trying to accomplish?" Taelin sobbed. It had become too much.
Talos tried to respond, but he didn't know how. He couldn't speak, and it pained him to see his friend sad because of him. Taelin sat down on the bed and watched as the gryphon got up and faced him.
"What about a... girlfriend? Do you ever have to, you know, find someone to settle down with?
Talos shook his head.
"You don't have a girlfriend?" Another shake of his head.
"No other gryphons to keep you company?" Another shake of his head.
"Well then?" Taelin asked. Talos didn't know how to respond. However, he took a shot at it. He lept up on the bed, tackling Taelin and pinning him under his front claws.
"What are you..." he began but was cut off when Talos looked at him directly.
It was an intense stare. Talos' eyes bore into him and he couldn't look away. He was trapped, pinned by Talos' eyes and body. He stared back into those deep blue and brown eyes of the gryphon, unable to resist. Then, he finally understood. He looked closer, but he knew he was right.
"It's me, isn't it? You're not here to help the kingdom, or the king. You're here for me."
Talos nodded finally; glad that his friend finally understood his intentions.
"But, why? I'm not all that interesting," Taelin said, but Talos shook his head once again. Suddenly, Talos dropped his body on top of the elf, laying on top of him but keeping the majority of his weight off him.
It was a very intimate position, but looking into Talos' eyes Taelin realised something, something he should have seen a long time ago.
The gryphon was much more attached to him than he thought. With the warm body pressed against him, Taelin was beginning to feel dizzy. He didn't know what was going on.
"You're in love me?" Taelin asked finally. Talos stared deep into his eyes and nodded, and Taelin knew there was no possible way he was lying. He was so confused, he didn't quite understand it. He thought about it for a while, but it was undeniable. He was in love with Talos as well.
"I love you too," stated the elf finally. Talos smiled in an odd gryphon way, but he didn't move.
The pressure against his body was slowly building, and it wasn't because Talos was crushing him. The warmth from the gryphon's body and the sheer closeness of their contact was leading Taelin to become rather bothered. He felt too warm and a little flushed. Suddenly, his mind flickered to a scenario where Talos was standing over him, ready and willing to do something with him.
Taelin shook himself; he was just getting a little tired, that was all. Yet, he couldn't shake the thought that maybe he could go the one step further with Talos. Little did he know that Talos had secretly wanted to mate with him for over a year.
"Talos, when you said you didn't have a girlfriend was that because you didn't have one, or you didn't want one?"
Talos looked at him and he knew the answer immediately.
"You're not fussed, are you?" he said and Talos nodded. Taelins' thought process spiked to something like: My god, I'm pinned under a gay gryphon who is in love with me!
He thought about that for a few moments, and realized he didn't quite have a problem with it. He had never seen a reason why homosexuality was a bad thing. The pressure now was becoming unbearable, and he knew exactly why. He was horny, in love with a gryphon, and now, gay. He was breaking almost every taboo in the kingdom, yet, he didn't care.
He needed Talos.
"Talos," he muttered, but the gryphon slid off him. He gasped as the furry mass removed itself from him, giving them both a clear view of his very stiff erection. He hadn't realised he had gotten hard.
"I'm so sorry," he began to apologize, "I-"
He was cut off when he felt Talos' tongue slowly run up his shaft. He shivered a little but fell silent. He had never felt anything like it, and he couldn't believe it had just happened to him.
"That's amazing!" he exclaimed as the large tongue left him. Talos smiled.
The gryphon continued to use his tongue to work Taelins' throbbing meat. The elf could only moan in ecstasy as he felt the warmth surrounding his manhood. They had both never had any type of sexual contact before, but Talos knew instinctively what he was doing. He flicked his tongue around with surprising skill, avoiding hurting Taelin with his curved beak.
Talos looked up at Taelin, and the elf saw a strand of his pre connecting the beak to his phallus. He smiled and lay back over the bed, inviting Talos to continue. Talos ran his tongue slowly over the shaft three times before leaning in and engulfing his entire length in his beak. Taelin gasped as he felt the warm walls of Talos' throat touch his needy erection.
Suddenly, Taelin pushed his hips up and came into Talos' mouth. Talos swallowed all of his juicy semen, loving the taste and wishing for more. When Taelin had finished he sat up and looked at Talos apologetically.
"Sorry, it's just you make me extremely horny and I couldn't help it." Talos didn't care; he knew it was just nerves.
They sat there for a few minutes, before Taelin had to ask.
"Would you like me to... return the favour?" he asked. Talos spun around; he had thought Taelin had been put off. Talos nodded eagerly, he wanted nothing less than to feel his best friend pleasure him orally.
He thought about it for second, before he realised it could be more awkward than he thought.
"I'll need you to lie on your back on the bed," he told the gryphon. Talos nodded, happy to do anything for his friend. He hopped up on the luxurious bed and lay down on his feathery back exposing himself to Taelin.
Slowly approaching Talos, Taelin looked down at him.
"I'm a little nervous about this," he said truthfully. Talos nodded, he knew it might take some time before he was fully ready. Instead of going straight into the oral sex, he instead decided he wanted to learn more about the gryphon's genitalia first.
He could see about four inches of gryphon cock already exposed and growing slowly. He reached out tentatively and touched it with his finger. It twitched a little and emerged a little bit more. Talos looked down a Taelins' naked form; it was enough to make the avian fully erect in seconds. Taelin stared wide-eyed as the entire length came into view.
The very tip was red; shiny with beads of pre-cum that had developed due to the gryphon's arousal. There were numerous bumps and lumps covering the phallus as well, that when Taelin looked closer showed to be barbs, much like a lion had.
Well, he is half-lion, Taelin thought before continuing his inspection.
As he looked down the shaft he noticed the colour began to fade into black. The shaft got thicker as it went towards the body, covered in numerous pulsing veins and tiny variations in rich texture. Taelin reached out without thinking and tried to wrap his hand around it. Talos groaned with the contact, but it was Taelin who gasped in more surprise when he realised he couldn't get his hand around it.
His index finger and thumb were just over half an inch apart around the base of the thick shaft, the widest point. He stared at the textures intently, wondering how they would feel in his mouth. Another feature caught his eye, however. He looked even lower, where it emerged from his fur. A large bump in the fleshy gryphonhood lay in waiting, almost fully black in colour.
He's got a knot, Taelin thought.
"Wow," he said out loud and Talos smiled at the fact he was being appreciated. Taelin had seen the royal hounds breed before but he never took much notice. Now he distinctively remembered their large knots, how they remained together for some time after copulation.
A soft set of furry balls hung below the wonderful piece of meat, full of gryphon semen. Taelin knew he had to coax some out. Being rather inexperienced he wrapped his hand around the shaft again, much to the satisfaction of Talos, and began to stroke it slowly. He immediately noted its temperature; it was very warm to touch.
He found that by rubbing some of the gryphons' fluids into his hand it became easier for him to slide his hand along the throbbing erection,
He stroked Talos lovingly, teasing his barbs lightly with his thumb before running his hand down the shaft, giving the knot a soft squeeze every now and then. Talos' breathing increased a little, the treatment he was receiving was amazing.
Taelins' mind was running in overtime; he couldn't believe what he was doing. He knew it was supposed to be wrong but yet, he couldn't really pinpoint a reason why. What would happen to them if his mother or father walked into the room? He shuddered to think, instead returning his attention to Talos. His hand was now coated in gryphon lubricant and it felt quite good.
Talos was in heaven, he had never expected to share any kind of sexual contact with his friend. The elven hand masturbating him steadily was very stimulating. He never closed his eyes, however, opting to just stare at Taelin whilst he worked away. He wanted to be able to see his friend; it would make an orgasm so much better.
A small squirt of pre from Talos made Taelin stop. He knew what Talos had done for him before and wanted to try it as well, but he was very nervous. He had a much smaller mouth and Talos had a much bigger package to work with.
"I want to try and do what you did before," Taelin informed him.
Talos nodded, his eyes clearly saying 'take your time'. The gryphon knew that his partner would probably be a little nervous, so he would let the boy take all the time he needed. Being a little unsure, Taelin lent in until the wet organ was almost touching his face. Up close it was just so beautiful, many inches of a gryphon's mating tool proudly erect in front of him.
He breathed in deeply and his nose was suddenly assaulted with the powerful, masculine scent coming from Talos. It was intoxicating, making him delirious. It smelt so good, so enticing. Taelin wanted to try it desperately. He lent forward and flicked his tongue out, licking the tip softly and scooping up a tiny amount of pre on his tongue.
Swallowing it, he beamed at Talos.
"That's delicious!" he exclaimed. Talos grinned, happy that Taelin enjoyed his taste. Returning to his position, Taelin ran his tongue from the base of the knot to the very tip, kissing it before swallowing the line of fluids that he had collected on the way.
Determined to get more of this great taste, Taelin began to lick every part of the gryphons' stiff length. Talos' breathing increased a little; the pleasure was getting intense. The elven boy's mouth teased and caressed the throbbing tool eagerly, but he still wanted more. Stopping his actions for a moment he wrapped his hand around the base.
"Can I put it in my mouth?" he asked. Talos looked at him as though it was a stupid question, nodding. Taelin smiled, but he was a bit nervous; the gryphon wasn't exactly small. He kept his hand firmly on the knot, squeezing it softly and causing Talos to squirm in pure ecstasy. He took another deep gulp of the overwhelmingly sexy gryphon smell before setting to work.
He brought his head down and put the tip of Talos' awaiting meat into his mouth. He sucked on the tip softly; feeling small bursts of pre coat his mouth as he did. He used his tongue to caress the barbs which covered the phallus considerably. They were rather interesting to Taelin, who wondered what they were actually for. Now that he thought about it he had no idea.
He rolled over the tip a few times before deciding he wanted to try a bit more. He slowly eased a bit of the shaft into his mouth, sliding almost half of it in before he stopped. It was a very intimate experience to have Talos' length in his mouth. It was a complete show of trust on the part of the gryphon; Taelin was in complete control.
To show his gratitude to Talos, Taelin began to bob his head up and down on the wonderful pole. Talos shuddered a little; it was quite overwhelming for him. He had wanted this for so long and now his dreams were coming true. He stared down at the elf between his legs, watching his head move up and down, loving every second of it.
Taelin used his tongue to feel every little bump and vein on the surface of the warm tool in his mouth. He was enjoying this much more than he thought he would; the taste of gryphon pre-cum strong in his mouth. It was a taste he wouldn't soon forget, and knew he could very easily get addicted to.
While he leisurely sucked his feathery friend off, his mind wandered to other things. Where would they go from here? Would Talos mate with him? He knew little of sex, but enough to know that it would probably hurt a lot if they decided to take it further. He could just image how it would look if anyone walked into the room and saw a gryphon with its penis buried deep within a prince's body.
He suddenly felt the tip touch the back of the throat and pulled off quickly, coughing a little. Talos looked at him worriedly but he patted him on the side.
"Don't worry, it's just an accident. I'll be fine," he said reassuringly.
Talos nodded but gave him a look as if to say 'I don't want you to hurt yourself for me'. Taelin noted that, but knew he would just about do anything to pleasure his large avian lover.
Lover, he hadn't really thought about that. He supposed it fit now that they had said it openly.
"Promise me you'll never leave," Taelin said quietly, looking into Talos' eyes. Talos nodded, he knew just as well as Taelin did that he would never be able to leave the boy's side now. It would be a fate worse than death for both of them. Summoning up the courage, Taelin wanted to try to take more of it in his mouth.
He didn't care that he had coughed the first time; he knew he could do it if he just relaxed. He hoped so, anyway.
"Stay as still as you can," he told Talos before putting the warm organ back in his mouth. Talos lay as still as possible while Taelin thought about the best way to proceed.
He wanted to try and take it slowly, so he eased it deep into his mouth. When it touched his throat he gagged instinctively, but managed to control himself. He pushed more in, his throat clamping down on the gryphon's erection as he did. Trying a different tactic, he did the one thing people usually didn't do. Instead of pulling off he pushed the entire length down his throat.
As to be expected his gag reflex worked immediately, making him gag as it sat in his throat. However, due to the fact he had pushed it so far down, he just held on to the large knot and forced it to stay. For the next minute Talos could feel Taelins' mouth constricting his member as the elf sought to control his body.
After a minute, Taelin realised it didn't feel so bad anymore. His muscles were relaxing slowly; his method was starting to work. He slowly eased it out of his mouth and slid it in again, only feeling a little bit uneasy as he did. After about another two minutes he was able to build up a steady rhythm, Talos' cock siding deep into his throat.
The barbs on the gryphon's length didn't help, but they made it interesting as they tickled him on the way out. He could feel the amazing textures as they rubbed against him as they slid in and out. Warm squirts of pre coated his throat, making it easier for Taelin to slide the entire length in.
To Talos, seeing his newfound mate bobbing his head down his stiff shaft was incredibly sexy to watch. The gryphon moaned as he felt his blood boil and his balls begin to twitch. He was getting close to coming. He made a small noise to alert Taelin, and the elf seemed to understand. They had an amazing connection now, on a spiritual level.
Taelin had no intention of pulling off, however, he wanted to feel the intimacy of swallowing Talos' semen. He began to deepthroat Talos even faster, causing waves of pleasure to surge through the gryphon's body. He wouldn't be able to take much more of this treatment he was receiving.
He let out a loud cry as he reached his climax, thrusting upward into Taelins' mouth. Taelin held on firm as a torrent of thick, creamy cum shot deep into his throat. He couldn't believe how much there was; filling his stomach up to the brim and forcing him to take it out of his mouth. More of the white fluids shot all over his face and chest.
Taelin drank as best he could, the rich taste of Talos overpowering his mouth. It was absolutely delicious and the elf knew he would always crave more of the amazing flavour of gryphon cum. For now he tried to gather as much as possible, since Talos' orgasm was stopping. He put his mouth on the tip and let the last of it drain into his mouth, where he savoured it for a few seconds before swallowing.
When it was all over Talos looked down at Taelin and smiled. The boy was a mess, strands of his own cum in his hair, dribbling from his mouth, on his shoulders, chest, everywhere. Talos stood up and proceeded to lick his friend clean, removing as much fluid as he could from his face. Taelin sat appreciatively as he did so, wondering what to do next.
The same thought had occurred to Talos.
"Thankyou," Taelin said, scratching Talos' chin. The gryphon looked at him as if to say, 'No, I thank you." He nodded. Taelin leaned forward and wrapped his arms around the legendary creature, pulling him close and kissing him all over.
Talos purred contentedly, imagining how they would spend the rest of their life together. He wanted nothing more than to live out his numerous days with his mate, having sex every night. Taelin wanted the same thing, lying quietly against his wonderful gryphon and listening to his heart beat steadily in his furry chest.
Looking down, Taelin was very surprised when he saw Talos' wet, dripping length had not in fact shrunk at all.
"Are you still horny?" Taelin said with a laugh and Talos nodded. He brought up in his mind what he knew about sex and remembered that gay couples usually had anal sex as well.
It rather scared him; he had never had anything go into his backside before. He slowly sat up and looked at Talos.
"I love you, and I want you to be my mate. I want you to try and mount me, is that okay?" Talos nodded happily, it was the one thing he wanted most in the world at the moment, but he had thought Taelin may not want to do it.
Taelin slowly climbed onto the bed, getting on all fours and exposing his rear to Talos'. The gryphon slowly climbed up behind him, his talons digging into the sheets as he straddled the elf. Taelin shuddered, feeling the warm fur brush over his back. He was completely at the mercy of Talos now, unable to escape or resist.
Not that he wanted to, quite the contrary. He saw both taloned forelegs either side of his head and knew that Talos was in position.
"Go very slow," Taelin asked. He couldn't see Talos nod but he knew his gryphon would never hurt him intentionally. He shivered in delight as he felt Talos' warm tongue run up his back affectionately.
He looked back between his legs and saw the thick, meaty cock hanging behind his rear, a small drop of cum falling from its wet length.
At least we won't need lubricant, there's plenty right there, Taelin thought. Talos brought his penis up slowly and put the tip on Taelins' tight hole.
As if waiting for Taelin to be ready, Talos only began when the elf tapped him on the legs. Pushing in ever-so-slowly Taelin gasped as he felt his virgin ring being spread open by the horny gryphon. To begin, Talos only pushed the tip of his pulsing length inside. Taelin groaned in satisfaction, he was finally about to have sex for the first time, and with Talos!
Talos dribbled some more of his fluids into the boys' rear, getting him at least a little bit ready for what was to come. He didn't want to hurt Taelin, but he knew it might be inevitable at some point. Pushing another inch and a half of his stiff rod into Taelin, Talos' groaned as he felt the boy's rim squeeze his shaft tightly.
His instincts would usually drive him to just fuck Taelin senseless, but oddly enough he felt no such desire. He wanted to make love, to have passionate intercourse and not just sex for the sake of sex. He took his time, waiting patiently for Taelin to adjust before pushing another inch inside.
When he had about five inches within him, Taelin knew he couldn't take any more until he had gotten used to it first.
"I want you to start now," Taelin said. Talos understood and pulled out without thinking, ready to begin mating with his friend. He had forgotten about the barbs, which dragged along the walls of Taelins' passage on the way out.
Taelin gasped in surprise, he hadn't expected it. It was an amazing feeling but quite overwhelming for the first time. He shivered as his body relaxed; it had come as a little bit of a shock. Talos looked at him apologetically, but Taelin wasn't worried. He would had to have felt it sooner or later, probably better that it was sooner.
He hadn't realised just how much he would be able to feel those barbs. Taelin tapped Talos' leg, signalling for him to continue. Talos happily obliged, thrusting back in slowly and pulling out again, causing loud moans of pleasure from his partner. He slowly began to build up a steady rhythm, his stiff erection sliding in and out of the boys' ass continuously.
Every thrust seemed just that little bit deeper, that little bit more satisfying. They were both moaning now, lost in their own personal world in which only the two of them existed; nothing else mattered now. Taelin could feel every little tiny ridge and texture as he was mated on Talos' member. He wanted more, though.
Taelin knew that he was enjoying this slow, affectionate penetration but he also knew that he wanted something else. He wanted Talos to mount him, to mate him, breed him, fuck him, plough his thick cock deep into his elven body, to take him like the powerful gryphon he was.
"Talos," he said between thrusts, "I want you to go all out on me."
Talos stopped and looked down at him with a look of concern.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. It might hurt at first but then I'll be used to it. Can you do it for me?" Talos looked at him with his shiny eyes before nodding slowly, giving him a look however that suggested that he really didn't want to hurt Taelin in any way.
Talos pulled his entire length free from Taelins' passage and adjusted his position, bringing their bodies closer together. Taelin buried his head in a pillow and watched as the gryphon dug his talons into the bed sheets. He could feel the huge gryphon finding his mark, the wet tool sliding up his rear.
Suddenly, Talos penetrated him enough force to push almost his entire length deep inside his lover. Taelin gasped in pain and pleasure and Talos looked worried, but the elf signalled for him to continue again. Shaking his head, Talos pulled out, the barbs dragging over his sensitive walls and making him cry out in ecstasy before ploughing his thick cock back into him.
The pleasure was mind-numbing for both of them. Talos loved the feeling of his length being surrounded by the elf's tight walls, squeezing him as he went. Taelin loved the feeling of being taken by such a strong lover, the barbs teasing his walls, the depth that the gryphon was achieving in him and the warmth coming from him as well.
Talos was extremely happy as well. He knew that he had found his soulmate in the young elf and would never leave his side from now on. Taelin didn't know it yet, but when gryphons chose a mate they chose one for life. He would find that out in the next few years, Talos knew. For now though, Talos was focused on making this night one they would both remember for years.
Thrust after deep thrust, Talos knew he was getting closer and closer to his climax. It was only a matter of time, the sensation of Taelins' tight passage squeezing his meat as he drove it deep into the boy. It was rather gradual, but Taelin began to notice that he could feel that something was blocking him from taking more.
He looked back and realised that it was actually Talos' large knot hitting him with every thrust. He couldn't believe it, how had he taken that much already? Talos wasn't exactly small, but somehow it seemed that Taelin had managed to fit his entire length inside of him. Not including the knot, of course.
Something made him want to, though. He knew it would be impossible, but he couldn't help but imagine how intimate it would feel to be so closely joined with his partner. He was conflicted, he knew it would probably hurt like hell, but at least he would be satisfied. He weighed up his options and made up his mind.
"I want to try and take all of you," Taelin said, his voice a little muffled by the pillow. Talos got what he meant, however, but was very reluctant to do so. It wasn't that he didn't want to tie with him, but the fact that he may hurt Taelin if he tried. Still, if Taelin was game for it, he was as well.
Picking up his speed, Talos pounded Taelin repeatedly, his thick cock burying deep within him. Taelin was moaning now, pleasure taking over his mind. Talos let his own mating drive take over, mating with the elf as though he was another gryphon. The friction between them was incredible, a mass of skin and fur and feathers making hot, reckless love.
Suddenly, Talos pushed in, harder than he had ever done before. Taelin gasped in pain as he felt the bulbous knot stretching him wide open. It was an intense sensation, pleasure and pain mixing to make an odd combination of feelings. He grabbed the sheets tightly with his hands, breathing heavily into the pillow, trying not to cry out.
He could do nothing but wait as he felt the huge ball of flesh attempt to enter him. He didn't think it would be possible, but they were determined to try. Talos pushed with all his might and slowly, almost without notice, the balance shifted. Taelin groaned as he felt the knot pop into him, filling him completely and tying him to his gryphon.
To make the experience even more satisfying, Talos had more to offer. With a loud screech he came, exploding deep within the boy beneath him. Thick, creamy cum coated his insides, shooting deep into his body and filling him to the brim. Taelin smiled, the warmth from the fluids being pumped into him was relaxing and soothing after taking the huge knot.
Talos didn't disappoint, his orgasm lasting quite a while. Gryphon seed leaked around the tight knot, unable to fit within the elf due to the sheer amount being produced. Talos was still shaking lightly from his orgasm, causing his dick twitch and throb inside Taelin. It made Taelin feel even better. He reached down and rubbed his lower stomach, realising he could just feel the tip of the phallus if he pushed his fingers in hard.
Semen slowly dripped onto the sheets, escaping from his body. He lay down slowly, bringing Talos with him. Now that they were joined he couldn't move away from the gryphon. He lay on his side, spooning with his new-found lover whose wings wrapped around him. It was such a comforting experience; he felt so safe and protected.
"That was amazing! I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did," Taelin said happily. Talos nodded, looking down into his mate's face. The gryphon had loved every second of it and he knew it as well, just from the look in his eyes. Squeezing his legs, Taelin could feel the cum slide around within him.
"Mmmmm," he said in approval. It was warm and viscous, feeling so good inside of him. Looking back at his gryphon, he had to ask.
"How long am I going to be tied with you? I wish it was forever, but I know you have to come out sometime." Talos looked at him, trying to figure out how to respond.
Taking a claw Talos engraved a small number 20 in one of the bedposts.
"Twenty minutes!" Taelin exclaimed, "That's fantastic!" Talos smiled, glad that he was appreciated so much. He looked about the room now and realised that what they had done would be hard to cover up.
The sheets on the bed were torn and ripped in places, looking like a sword duel had taken place on its soft mattress. Taelin sighed, he would think of an excuse later on for what they had done. What they had done... He had just mated with a gryphon, which was male, in the royal castle, under the nose of his mother and father. What hadn't he done?
Ten minutes later, Taelin could feel the pressure from his rear ease enough that Talos could pull out. Getting back on his hands and knees with Talos over him, the gryphon pulled out with a forceful tug. A torrent of gryphon juices followed, splattering the bed copiously. Taelin gasped when he felt Talos' tongue slide over his rim, cleaning him of any excess fluid.
Turning around, he looked at his feathery lover. He was truly a sight to behold, even without the many inches of dripping, sexy cock hanging beneath him.
"Well, what now?" Taelin asked. He didn't have a clue what to do. Talos did, however.
Slowly nudging Taelin with his beak, he lifted his leg to expose his package, which was already fully erect and ready once again.
"You want to mate again?" Taelin asked incredulously. He couldn't believe his luck, he would have thought the avian would be spent after the huge load he had just dumped in him.
Talos nodded and Taelin quickly jumped back on the bed, exposing his ass to the needy gryphon. Talos didn't need to be told twice; his powerful bulk straddling the elf, getting into position. Taelin nodded and gasped as he felt the huge length enter him once again. Just because he had done it once he thought it would be easier to take.
He was wrong. Talos still felt absolutely massive, his thick length pounding away quickly as he mated the elf once again. The pair were going at it this time, now that Taelin could take almost the whole length, albeit with difficulty. They were fucking now, bodies rubbing together, moans and grunts with every thrust, fluids dripping everywhere.
Loud squelching noises could be heard from Taelins' passage as Talos' thick meat displaced the loads of gryphon fluids already inside. Taelin could feel the excess gryphon juice sloshing around inside of him, getting forced deeper with every thrust. The barbs continued to cause amazing sensations every time Talos pulled out, making him smile each time.
Without either of their knowledge, the door to the room crept open and a set of eyes surveyed the scene. Without a sound the door closed again, leaving no sign that anyone had seen the two lovers at all. Talos could feel his knot trying to enter the elf once again and attempted to push it in.
Taelin gasped at the unexpected invader and he tightened a little, but loosened up once he realised what was happening. In a few seconds the huge ball popped in, stuffing Taelin completely with the thick gryphon cock. Taelin could find no better experience than being tied; it was so intimate to be so close to your partner.
With a few short thrusts Talos came, shooting ropes of his delicious seed into Taelins' body. It mingled with the rest of Talos' previous emissions and dribbled from around the knot, running down his legs and collecting on the bed. Taelin was surprised, Talos had put out just as much as the last orgasm. He would have thought it would get harder with each ejaculation.
The pair lay down once again, prevented from moving once again due to the tie. Talos licked the back of Taelins neck and Taelin rubbed Talos' furry body. Even just the feeling of Talos' length inside of him was amazing; he wished it would never have to come out. Still, about twenty minutes later it did anyway, leaving a huge trail of gryphon cum everywhere.
He faced Talos now and licked his dripping member clean of his avian fluids. When he was done Talos wasn't any less hard than he had been ten minutes ago.
"Are you telling me you want to do it again?" Taelin said, shocked. Talos nodded.
"How many times can you do it, anyway?" Taelin asked. Talos gave him a confused look and he immediately knew that the legendary gryphon had absolutely no idea himself. Maybe he could go forever? Taelin climbed back onto the bed, exposing his cum-filled hole once again. As Talos straddled him again, he knew one thing.
This was going to be a long night.
*** Seven Hours Later ***
"Faster, Talos, fill me with your cum," Taelin groaned exhaustedly. Talos was happy to oblige, ramming his knot into the boy's anus one more time. Taelin felt himself being filled with warm gryphon cream, spurting into his body powerfully as the great avian hit his climax. Taelin was close to collapsing from sheer tiredness.
Once he had emptied himself into the elf, Talos knew he couldn't continue. They fell in a heap on the bed, sticky seed coating their bodies, the bed and the floor. They had been at it all night and had finally run out of energy. Taelin was numb with pleasure, the only thing he could really think of was Talos, and everything else was of no importance.
The room was a mess; pillows were in tatters, the bed was ruined and there was gryphon spooge covering every surface, including them. Neither of them cared one bit, each lost in the others' love.
"Thankyou," Taelin said softly, closing his eyes. Talos nudged him with his beak and rested his furry head next to his.
"I will always love you," The elf said finally before drifting off to sleep, followed closely by his gryphon mate. There would be some work to do in the morning but for now, they were content.
It was all that mattered.
