A knight's quest for love

Story by LordWegner on SoFurry

, , , , , ,

This is the first major project I written. I had a name for my account "LordWegner" but nothing in terms of who or what he is. This would be my attempt of character development from just a simple concept. This is the combination of six part posted as the whole story. It is only marked as adult for an adult night for Andrew near the end of the story.


He stood there breathing heavy. Blood from a wound on his forehead was flowing into his right eye. He was using every ounce of strength left in him to remain standing holding his blade in front of himself. Blood flowed from a wound on his left side soaking his pants and dripping into a puddle at his feet where his opponent lay face down. A loud cheer came from the crowd at the clash they had witnessed.

Four squires ran out to the two knights. Two bent down to see if the fallen knight was alive, the third was trying to remove the sword from Andrew's hands and the fourth was examining Andrew's wounds. "He is still alive, send out a healer." One of squires by the fallen knight screamed. And with that a doe in a light blue robe ran to the knight. The squires had rolled the knight on to his back and removed his chest plate. The doe knelt down beside him, placed both hands on his chest and softly chanted. A soft white light was pouring out of her hands and in to the knight. She stopped chanting and the light faded. She pulled her hands back and placed them on her chest. She nodded at the two squires. They nodded back and the proceeded carry the knight off of the field of combat. The doe then turned her attention towards Andrew. The third squire was still trying to remove the sword from Andrew's hand. At the attempt to remove his blade, Andrew had released his weapon from one of his hands and now held it at his side with the blade's tip in the ground. The doe knelt next to the fourth squire. When the squire looked at her, he stood up and backed way from her and Andrew. She placed her hands near the wound in his side and softly chanted. As before a white light poured out of her hands and in to Andrew. The blood pouring from his wound had slowed and the wound began to heal. When she had finished chanting and pulled her hands away the wound was healed. She stood up and examined the wound on his forehead. She reached out with her hand and Andrew closed his eyes. He released his weapon and fell to the ground. He had exhausted what strength he had left within by just standing there.

He awoke to the cheers of the crowd. He was lying on a cot in a tent. A female gazelle was tending to his minor wounds. "You're finally awake." A familiar voice spoke. "I would like to speak with him alone." The voice continued. The gazelle slowly stood up and left Andrew's side. Andrew looked up to see it was Holly Razer, Captain of the Guards, standing there. "Captain Razer." Andrew said. "Impressive battle Sir Wegner, I didn't expect you to have defeated Sir Bradare." Holly said. Andrew asked "What happened to Roy?" "He is right over there." She said. Holly then turned her head to look over her right shoulder. Andrew turned his head to look in the same direction. There lied Sir Roy Bradare on a cot; the doe in the light blue robe and another in a green robe were tending to his wounds. "He will live, the healer got to him in time." She replied looking back at Andrew. Andrew turned his head back, closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. "I would not have been able to forgive myself if I had killed one of my friends." He slowly opened his eyes after he spoke.

....................................

Andrew Wegner, a 27 year old German shepherd Doberman Pincher mix, lived on the outskirts of the kingdom of Tristram. There he helped his parents raise sheep. He was a tall man with black fur deep brown eyes and short black hair. From his neck to his waist Andrew's fur was white with brown patches. Above each of his eyes was a small brown patch of fur. He became strong from all the work he did tending the sheep. One day there was a call to arms and all available men were asked to fight for there land. Andrew would answer the call. He bid his parents good bye and he left for the castle. There he met Sir Roy Bradare, a 35 year old mustang. Sir Roy Bradare stood there in full armor. He held his helmet in his left hand. He had short brown coat, long black hair and pale blue eyes. His tail was in a single braid. He stood taller than Andrew and was a very muscular man. Sir Bradare has fought in many wars and raised in the ranks the fourth in command of the King's Guards, an elite squad of knights. Roy was there to pick out any of the men who might be able to fight for the King's Guard. Roy spotted Andrew and chose him along with others who answered the call to arms.

Roy asked Andrew "What did you do before you came here?" "I was a shepherd my lord" Andrew replied. "A shepherd?" Roy laughed. "Do you think you have what it takes to defend our land?" He asked him. "Yes my lord. I'm a strong hard working man. I would lay my life down for the safety of our land." Andrew answered. Roy was impressed by his answer. "We will see." Roy replied. "Now listen up all of you." Roy yelled at them men he had chosen. "You will begin your training today. If you survive then the captain will assess your skills and progress and will chose those who are worthy to be one of the King's Guards."

The training the men went through was tedious and hard. Long hours of swords training, hand to hand combat, the rule of engagement, etc... Through out the training the men were carefully watched. Roy had taken a liking to Andrew and would offer him extra training. The two would spar after the training for the day was over. Roy slowly honed Andrew's swordsman skills. By the end of the training, Andrew had stood out as one of the best fighters, thanks to Roy's help. "Attention!" Roy screamed at the men as he stood before them. "You have finished your training and Captain Razer will now choose the ones who will become the King's Guards. The rest of you will fight in the lower ranks. Captain Razer, the men are ready." "Thank you, Sir Bradare." a woman's voice replied and from behind Roy. Captain Razer appeared.

She stood before the men in silver dragon armor, armor reserved for the highest knights. She held her helmet in her hand and carefully surveyed the men before her. The men quietly talk among themselves at this. "Now men, I'm Captain Holly Razer and if any of you can not serve under my command step forward now." She paused after speaking. Two men stepped forward. "You two will report to Sir Langes." She replied. "Any one else? No, good. You have all noticed that I am a woman and I don't care. You are here to defend this land whether man or woman..." Andrew had stopped listening to what she was saying. He was captivated by her beauty.

Captain Holly Razer was a 28 year old snow leopard with medium length black hair that she wore in a pony tail. She had emerald green eyes and an athletic built body. She was a well educated woman. Her father was a great knight of the king and trained her in the arts of swordsmanship. At the age of 25 her father helped acquire her position in the King's Guard. At first she was teased by the other King's Guard being so young and a woman, but she quickly rose through the ranks to become the first female Captain of the Guard. She had earned the respect of her fellow knight and she was much respected.

"Andrew Wegner" Holly screamed. Andrew snapped back to his senses when she called his name. "Andrew Wegner step forward now!" she screamed. Andrew stepped forward. "Good. The rest of you will be escorted to Sir Langes." She said. While Andrew was captivated by her beauty, Holly had chosen five of them men to join the King's Guard. "You five will report to the southern barracks now." Holly ordered the men. And with that the five headed for the southern barracks. Holly spoke to Roy after the men had left "Are you sure Wegner was a good choice? He did not seem to be pay attention as I spoke and I did want to choose a different man." "Don't worry, you made the right decision." Roy answered smiling. "We will see." She replied.

A month latter a fierce war broke out across the land and it was time to see if Andrew was the right decision. Andrew fought along sides with his friend Roy and along with Holly. Roy and Holly hung back at times to watch him fight. During the fighting Holly told Roy "You were right. Wegner was a very good decision. He is a very skilled knight."

When the war ended and peace returned to the land, Andrew was knighted by the king. "Arise Sir Andrew Wegner." The king spoke. Andrew arises to the applause of all in the hall, his parents, his fellow knight and the guests of the king. During the celebratory feast afterwards, Holly approached Andrew as he spoke with his parents. "Sir Wegner, who are the people?" Holly asked. Andrew turned to see Holly dressed in an elegant garnet dress. He paused for a second at seeing her. This was the first time Andrew saw Holly out of her armor. Her gown flowed as she moved, her hair undone from its usual pony tail and the smell of sweet perfume wafted gently from her. She was so elegant and beautiful that Andrew did not see the strong willed warrior that she is and saw a feminine delicate woman. "Sir Wegner." Holly replied. Andrew came back to his senses and replied "Captain Razer, these are my parents." Holly turned to his parents and spoke "You two must be very pleased with him." "We are." His father replied "We are very pleased."

As the sun began to set and the feast continued Holly approached Andrew again and asked "Are you going to remain with the King's Guard or are you going to return home." He looked deep into her eyes. He wondered if she had the same feelings toward him that he had to her. She repeated "Sir Wegner, are you going..." "Yes, yes...I am planning on remaining in the King's Guard. I have already talked to my parents about." "I'm glad you are staying." She replied, she then turned around and walks over to another knight to talk." "Well, I see someone has feelings for the captain." Roy said throwing his arm around Andrew's shoulder. Roy had been watching the two and had noticed the way Andrew was acting when Holly was near. "What? No, no, it's just." Andrew started. "I won't tell her Andrew." Roy said "But if you don't tell her how you feel about her then she will never know." Andrew pondered Roy's words till the feasts end.

....................................

"For a moment it looked like you forgotten our wager." She looked at him smiling. "No captain, I have not forgotten." Andrew replied. "Remember you will need to beat me to win the wager." And after she spoke she left the tent. The gazelle returned to Andrew's side and continued to tend to his minor wounds.

....................................

Every two years the king of Tristram holds a five day tournament among his knights. It is held to show who the strongest knight is. Holly is the returning champion from the previous tournament. At the last tournament Holly had gathered the King's Guard and asked if any would care to put a wager on the tournament. "If any of you think you can beat me will get what ever you want that I can acquire within my power, but if you lose..." She asked. No one took the bet. They knew she was the captain for a reason; her swordsmanship was the best in the land. With the five new knight within the King's Guard again Holly made the wager and none had answered when "I except." came from the back of the group. Everyone turned around to she who had spoken. It was Andrew. Holly smiled "Fine then, I have a taker. You know the wager?" "Yes, I know and accept its terms." Andrew replied.

After the wager was made the men began to leave the hall wear they were gathered. Roy walked up to Andrew and asked "Do you know what you just did?" Andrew looked at Roy and answered "Yes." "You know she is the best swordsman around, which is why she is captain of the guards." Roy continued. "Yes I know." Andrew replied. Roy shook his head at what Andrew said. "How are you going to make it to the final round and then defeat her?" He asked. "With your help." Andrew replied. Roy eyes grew wide as he looked at Andrew. "Me? You have to be kidding." Roy said after regaining his composure. "I want to train with you again like when I first joined. Please you are the only person who can help me." Andrew said. Roy sighed, "You know that you will have to fight me or one of the higher ranked of the King's Guard?" "Yes I know and I am prepared to fight you or the others to gain my reward." Andrew replied with a stern, determined look on his face. "Fine, we will start tomorrow." Roy replied. And the two trained hard. Each pushing the other further passed their own limits. This continued until the night before the tournament. "I didn't think you had a chance, but maybe you do." Roy spoke while breathing heavily. "Thanks Roy, I needed to hear that." Andrew replied also breathing heavily. The two then stood there in silence. Sweat covered there faces and their bodies were covered in bruises from the training. "Rest tonight, for the next five days will be hell." Roy said smiling at Andrew. Andrew smiled back.

The next day the tournament began. All of the participating knights were standing on the field of combat. The people of the kingdom were gathering is the stands, pushing and shoving to get the best seat possible. Once the stands were filled, the king welcomed all and official started the tournament. The first three days were easy. Andrew's skills lead him to many quick victories and he was becoming a crowd favorite. By the end of day three the matches for day four were announced. Captain Razer would fight Sir Jahve, fifth in command of the King's Guard. Sir Carter and Sir Reilly would fight, they are the second and third in command of the King's Guard. And Sir Bradare would be fighting Sir Wegner.

"Remember, I told you. You were going to fight one the higher rank knight and it's just your luck it's me." Roy told Andrew as the two ate. "I'm not worried, from all the training I believe I know how you fight." Andrew replied. "All really" Roy began "let me just tell you that I haven't even shown you half of my skills." Andrew and Roy's eyes meet and Andrew replied "We will find out tomorrow then."

The fourth day had come. Sir Bradare and Sir Wegner's match was the second one of the day, Captain Razer and Sir Jahve were the first. Andrew entered the combat area; he entered wearing a lighter full suit of armor without a helmet. He wore two long swords in a cross on his back. Roy entered the area in his full armor. On his left side hung his long sword and on his left arm he wore his shield. Roy removed his helm and asked Andrew where his helm was. "The sun is too bright to be wearing helms and besides to fight you I need to be able to move more freely." He replied. "So that is why you are wearing a lighter armor. We will see if your gamble pays off." Roy replied and threw his helm to the side. Roy drew his sword and held it at his side. He then moved his shield in front of his body. Andrew reached back over his shoulders and drew both swords. He turned the left side of his body toward Roy. He held his sword in his left hand parallel to the ground, extended his right arm behind his head and pointed his second sword towards Roy.

The two stood there motionless, getting a feel of the opponent. The two friends would now fight. Roy had nothing to lose, but Andrew would lose his wager to Holly. Roy saw a moment of weakness in Andrew's eyes and charged. At Roy's advance, Andrew flinched but held his position. Roy swung at Andrew with a powerful downwards swing. Andrew blocked the blow with his left sword and then attacked with his right. Roy blocked the attack with his shield. The two separated and looked at one another. "You've been hold back your true strength." Andrew said. "Yes I have." Roy replied smiling. "When did you learn how to fight with two swords?" Roy asked. "I've been training by myself. I wanted to save this to use against Holly, but..." He smirked. And the two advanced again.

The battle was fierce, neither knight willing to give up. Roy's heavier armor slowed him down, but his power made it difficult for Andrew to stay close to him. Andrew's lighter armor made it easier for him to dodge Roy's attacks, but the armor would not protect him from Roy's powerful swings. The two seemed evenly matched until, Andrew charged straight into Roy's attack. "Why charge him, Roy will kill Andrew with that attack." Holly thought to herself as she witness the battle. At the last second Andrew had rolled to the ground and avoided Roy's swing. He quickly rose to his feet behind Roy and lunge both swords at Roy. Roy knowing he was vulnerable turned around as fast as he could to block the blown. Andrew knocked Roy's shield off his arm with his right swords thrust and his second plunged between Roy's armor into his side. Roy screamed as a sharp pain passed though out his body. Roy struck Andrew as hard as he could with the back of his left arm. Andrew tried to brace himself, but Roy was to strong. He knocked Andrew away. The blow struck Andrew so hard that his armor was dented and he loses his grip on his left sword. The blown stunned Andrew. When he regained his bearings Roy had advanced and swung again. Andrew barely dodged the blow. Roy smiled at Andrew and reached for the blade in his side. With a mighty tug and a scream of pain, Roy removed the sword from his side. He smiled at Andrew "Not bad, not bad at all, but your wound will be more problematic." Andrew felt a warm liquid flow in to his right eye, it stung his eye. He wiped his brow to see it was blood. Roy was able to strike Andrew above his right eye on his forehead. "That wound will make it harder for you to fight." Roy said smiling. He then threw Andrew's second sword to the ground and with that he charged again.

Andrew's wound had turned the fight to Roy's favor. Blinded in one eye and no way to stop the bleeding, Andrew could only defend himself the best he could. As Andrew dodged Roy's might swords swings, Roy would then strike with his left arm. Since his shield was removed, Roy had been punching and striking Andrew with his left arm. Andrew's lighter armor was damaged and broken from just Roy's attacks with his left arm. "I need to finish this now." Andrew thought to himself. He charged Roy for a final attack. As he swung at Roy, the blood in his eye stung him causing him to stop his swing. This gave Roy his opportunity to counter attack. He swung and Andrew did not dodge in time. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Andrew screamed. Roy had cut through the left side of Andrew's armor and deep into his side. Andrew backed away from Roy holding his left arm over his side.

"Surrender now Andrew. You've put up a fine fight and I don't want to hurt you anymore." Roy said loudly. "Thank you for the offer Roy, but I believe with this next attack the match will be over." Andrew replied. The two just stood there. Andrew moved his left arm and gripped his sword tightly in both hands and positioned the blade to his right side pointing at the ground. Roy watched. The blood from Andrew's wound was now forming a puddle at his feet. Roy gripped his blade in both hands and charged. Andrew did not move. Roy was screaming as he got closer and closer to Andrew. Andrew closed his eyes. Roy lifted his blade high and swung down upon him. As he swung; Andrew quickly opened his eyes and swung upward as hard as he could. The crowd fell silent and a sword fell to the ground. Andrew struck Roy first; his upward swing had cut through Roy's armor and deeply into his chest. Roy had lost the grip of his weapon when Andrew attacked. Roy knew he had lost. Roy fell to his knees before Andrew, smiled, passed out and fell face down at his feet. There was a huge cheer from the crowd and the squires ran to the knights.

....................................

Andrew lay in the tent and listened. He could hear the cheer of the crowd as Sir Carter and Sir Reilly fought. Andrew thought about how much harder tomorrows fight will be. It is going to be the three champions from today all fighting tomorrow at once. Another loud cheer came from the crowd. It would be him against Holly, captain of the guards, and either the second or third in command of the King's Knights. It took everything he had just to defeat Roy.

There was an uneasy silence in the air. Andrew could not hear the cheer of the crowd. He noticed that four of the healers exited the tent. The four healers returned followed by Sir Carter and Sir Reilly being cared by squires. The two knights were laid down on to cots and the healers began to treat their wounds. As a squire walk past Andrew reached out and grabs the sleeve of his shirt and asked "What happened?" "Lord Carter and Lord Reilly had a draw, my lord. Neither knight will be fighting tomorrow. I would hate to be the knight to face Captain Razer alone." The young man replied. Andrew released his sleeve and the squire left the tent.

"I am going to face Holly alone?" Andrew said to himself quietly. He heard laughter and turned his he to see who it was. It was Roy, he was awake. "So you'll have to fight Holly by yourself. Well good luck. At least with a third knight, you might have been able to win by letting those two fight and you making a move at the end, but now" Roy began to laugh when he was finished speaking. "Well then, any advice for the upstart then." Andrew asked. "One. Don't let your guard down. Two. Don't let her knock your weapon away. And three. Pray for a miracle." Roy replied. Andrew had a grim look on his face. "Don't worry about it Andrew. Just get as much rest as you can and what happens, happens." Roy closed his eyes after he spoke and fell asleep, Andrew lay there thinking about what Roy had said and called over the gazelle that tended his wounds earlier. "Yes my lord." She replied. "Would you please bring a squire to me?" He asked. "Of course my lord." She answered and left the tent to find a squire. She returned with a young lion.

"My lord." The young squire said. "I need you to take my armor to the blacksmith repairs and my swords for sharpening." Andrew told the boy and pointed towards a corner of the tent. There his broken and battered armor lay on the ground and his swords in their sheaths hung from a hook on the tent post. "Yes my lord." The squire replied and went toward the armor. "My lord I will take the armor first and return for your weapons." The boy said. "That will be fine." And as Andrew spoke he drifted to sleep.

He was awoken by a doe in a red robe. "My lord, the king would like to join him for a feast." She told him. He slowly sat up. His body ached as he moved. The doe offered him her hand to help him stand up. He smiled at her and reached out for her hand. With her help he got to his feet. Once he was no his feet he looked around the tent, Carter and Reilly were asleep in the cots they were laid in. Healers were at their sides watching the two sleep. Roy was not in the tent. He was about to ask her about Roy when she said "Please my lord, you do not want to keep the king waiting." He smiled at her and the two left the tent.

She led him to the great hall. Outside the doors Andrew asked her "Shouldn't I change in to more formal clothing?" "No, the king wishes to prepare the two champions for their battle tomorrow." She said smiling at him and she then opened the door for Andrew. Inside the hall a feast had been laid out. Andrew slowly entered the hall. The members of the King's Guard were all there except for Carter and Reilly. Roy was there standing next to Holly. When the king saw Andrew, he rose and spoke "Honored guests our celebration can begin, Sir Wegner please join me at the head of the table. And Captain Razer you too please join me." The two headed towards the king. Holly stood to highness's right and Andrew stood to his left. "Today, two champions rose from the field of battle. Tomorrow they will be locked in combat to see who the stronger warrior is, but tonight we feast." And after the king spoke the feast began.

Roy sat next to Andrew to keep others away from him. Roy knew that Andrew was hurting. "How do you feel?" Roy asked. "Like a wild steed had trampled me." Andrew replied looking at the food before him. Roy was offended by the comment, but before he answered back he saw Andrew's face. Andrew's eyes were emotionless and he was breathing very slowly. Roy looked at Andrew's plate. There was very little food on it and Andrew was not eating. Roy knew that Andrew was not going to be able to fight tomorrow if his current condition did not improve, for now his body and will were broken.

Holly had noticed the two talking and was walking up to them when she over heard their conversation. "Andrew." Roy began "Please forfeit. You are in no condition to fight Holly." Andrew turned and looked at Roy. "I must fight, I must fight for her." He responded. "For her?" Holly thought. Holly walked closer to congratulate Andrew on making it to the finals. Roy and Andrew turned to look at her. Roy smiled, Andrew turn away and stared at his plate. Holly was concerned about Andrew's actions. "That's not like him." She though. She was about to speak to him but Roy stopped her.

As the evening turned to night, Roy convinced Andrew to eat. After Andrew finished, he rose from his seat. As he stood a pain filled his body. He stumbled back in to his seat but stood up again. Roy watched and shook his head. Andrew walked over to the king and gave the king a small bow. "Your highness" Andrew said "Would you please send for a chemist?" The king asked why. "Your highness, I am in pain and it will keep me up all night. I need a chemist to make me a serum to help me sleep." The king sat there in silence and looked at Andrew. The king had notice that Andrew was not acting in a usual manner. The king gestured for two servants to come to him. "You go to town and bring me the chemist and you will escort Sir Wegner to his quarters." The king ordered. "Yes your highness." The two servants replied. One servant then left the hall to fetch the chemist. The second walk over to escort Andrew to his quarters when "Your highness, please allow me to escort Sir Wegner to his quarters." The king looked to see who had spoken, it was Holly. "Captain Razer, you wish to escort Sir Wegner to his quarters? Very well, you may." The king responded. She bowed before and replied "Thank you, your highness."

A door opened and Holly was helping Andrew to enter his quarters. Once they entered the room, Andrew stopped. Holly was stepping forward when she noticed. "Andrew is everything all right?" she asked. Andrew stood there silent. Holly began to speak again, but he did hear her, he was deep in though. "This is the time to tell her, but what if she does not feel the same ways towards me. No, I must tell her now for I might not get the chance tomorrow." Andrew looked at Holly, she was still speaking. He turned towards her, his eyes fixated on her face. As she spoke, she turned and looked at him. She fell silent. There eyes met and the two slowly move closer together. Andrew slowly reached out and touched the side of her face. "I need to tell you something important captain." He softly told her. "What is it Sir..." she began. The two leaned in close, closed their eyes and were about to kiss when the servant entered the room. "Sir Wegner, I've brought the chemist." The servant said. They opened their eyes and Holly pulled away. The servant stood in the doorway behind him stood an old moose carrying a wooden box.

The chemist entered the room, placed his case on the table, opened it and began to work. Holly and Andrew watched when she turned to leave the room. As she was leaving she turned and bid Andrew a good night. She was blushing has she spoke. Andrew was smiling as he watched her leave. After she left he turned and looked at the servant with spite. The servant helped Andrew into bed while the chemist was mixing roots, herbs and elixirs together. "Here this will help you sleep and heal your body." The chemist said as he handed the servant a glass. The servant help Andrew drink the mixture and he then stepped back. Andrew quickly fell asleep and the two quietly left the room.

..................................

It was the fifth day of the tournament. The sun was shining and the town folk were just starting their daily work. As they worked all they could do was talk about the final match of tournament. "I can not wait to see if this new King's Guard can defeat the Captain." One said. "No way, she is the Captain of the Guard." replied another.

The match was to begin sometime during the late morning, but the king ordered that the match will not begin until both combatants were ready. The king decree was announced not for Holly but for Andrew. The king wanted him to get as much rest before the fight and last the king was told Andrew was still sleeping. "Bring me the chemist" the king ordered a servant. The servant bowed and left to find the chemist. The servant returned with the chemist. "Your highness, the chemist." The servant said. "Thank you. That will be all." The king replied. The servant bowed and left the two men alone. "Chemist, when will Sir Wegner wake up?" the king asked. The chemist had taken out a pipe as the king spoke. He filled it with tobacco, lit it and took a long smoke before he answered. "Sir Wegner is no longer under the elixir I gave him." The chemist answered while blowing out smoke. "Just send some one to wake him your highness." The chemist replied and took another long smoke on his pipe. Roy had walked up behind the two and heard their conversation. Roy knelt behind the king and spoke "Your highness." The king and chemist turned around to see Roy kneeling there. "Yes Sir Bradare." The king replied. "Allow me to wake Sir Wegner and help prepare him for his fight." Roy said. "Very well Sir Bradare. Go and prepare Sir Wegner." The king replied. Roy stood up and took his leave of the king. The chemist blew another puff of smoke from his pipe and said to the king "This will be a very good fight."

Roy entered Andrew's quarters to see him asleep. Roy walked over to Andrew's bed and knelt down next to him. Roy placed his hand on Andrew's shoulder and gently shook him. "Wake up, today is the final day of tournament." Roy told Andrew. Andrew awoke to Roy's action. He was still drowse and it took awhile for him to fully wake up. Andrew looked at Roy and said "Yes today is the final day of tournament." Andrew got dressed and the two walked to the great hall where food was laid out for the knights. The two sat down and began to eat. "I see your appetite has returned." Roy said as he watched Andrew eat. Roy began to eat and after taking a drink he asked "How do you feel today? You look much better than yesterday." "Andrew swallowed the food in his mouth and answered "I feel much better today. Only my left side aches from your blow and my spirit has never been higher. I believe I might win today." "Well good luck then." Roy said laughing. The two raised their glasses and drank. They placed their glasses down and continued to eat. As they ate Holly walk by, she did not stop nor talked to them. She did not even look at them. Andrew watched her as she walked by and then looked at Roy with a confused look on his face. "That is just her way. She does not talk to her competition on the day of their fight." Roy answered.

The two had finished eating and were headed down to the battle grounds. Andrew was searching for the squire he spoke with the day before. Andrew turned his head and yelled "You there!" Roy turned to see Andrew walking towards a young lion squire. "Yes my lord?" the squire asked. "Where are my weapons and armor you took to the smith for me?" Andrew asked. "They are in your tent my lord. This way." The squire answered and led Andrew to a tent. Roy followed. The three of them enter the tent and inside on a table laid Andrew's swords and armor. Andrew walked over and examined his armor. "Boy, why is my armor not fully repaired?" he asked. The squire answered "My lord, I took your weapons and armor to the smith as you told me to. When I arrived only the smith's apprentice was there and he informed that the smith was ill. I showed him the armor and explained what happen. He told me that he will do his best to repair the armor and to sharpen the swords. When I retrieved your armament the apprentice said he did all he could. He was only able to sharpen on of your swords and repair your armor as you see." Andrew drew his swords and examined then as the squire finished speaking. "Only one sharp sword and partly repaired armor. This will be a challenge." He replied smiling at the squire. "Thank you that will be all." The squire quickly bowed and left the two knights. "What will you do?" Roy asked. "I will fight with what I have." Andrew responded. "Well then you'll need this then." Roy replied. Andrew looked at Roy. He had removed his sword from his belt and was offering it to Andrew. "Please Andrew use it." Roy said. Andrew reached out and took the blade from his friend and replied "Thank you."

The crowd had gathered in the stands for the announcement of the final fight was made. Everyone in the stands was anxious. This was what the four previous days lead up to. Next to the king the King's Guard sat, Carter and Reilly were present. Roy appeared and sat down next to his fellow knights. "Where were you the final match is about to begin?" Reilly asked. "Just getting Andrew ready." He responded. After Roy spoke a fanfare of trumpets was heard. Holly had entered the field of combat. She stood there in her dragon armor with out her helm. At her right side hung a short sword and on her left arm a small shield. She wore a long sword on her back. The trumpets played the fanfare again as Andrew entered. He wore the repaired armor he used against Roy and on his back he wore his and Roy's swords in the same cross as yesterday.

There they stood across from one another. "Let the final match begin." The king said and a loud cheer came from the crowd. Andrew drew his swords and stood in the same position he started with against Roy. Holly smiled at him and drew her long sword and held it in both hands. Then they stood there motionless. They could no longer hear or see the crowd around them all they could see was each other. They were waiting for an opening in the others defense. Andrew looked straight into her eyes, smiled and charged.

Holly held her ground as he came in close for his attack. Andrew jumped at her; he held both his blades high and slashed downward with all his strength. Holly jumped back and avoided the attack. She then lunge her blade at his chest. Andrew quickly raised his left sword and deflected the blow easily. The two stared at each other during the clash; time seemed to slow down as they looked in to each others eyes. They each moved away to prepare for another attack. Andrew had the strength advantage over her, but Holly had far superior strategies and swords skills. The two appeared to be evenly matched in speed. Surely, if Holly wore a lighter armor she would have the speed advantage. They continued there fight, neither letting up on their attacks. Andrew sliced downward with both blades. Holly raised her sword and "Clang" rang out. Holly was using all of her strength to push back both of Andrew's swords. He pushed harder and she fell back. "An opening" he though and he lunge his sword towards her right hand.

A sword flew through the air and stabbed the ground. Holly was still falling backwards with a surprised look on her face. "What happened?" she thought. Andrew was bent over in front of her, his right arm extended straight up and his sword pointing to the heavens. She could not believe what happened. He disarmed her; his strike was so strong she could not hold on to her sword. Andrew looked up at her and smiled. She quickly came back to her senses and looked at him with spite. She regained her balance and stepped away from him. Andrew had not moved from his last stance and he watched her. She was mad. Holly drew her short sword and pointed at him. "You will pay for that." She said with anger in her eyes. Andrew slowly stood up straight and held his weapons at his sides. He charged her again.

The battle raged on, each trading blows. With out her long sword Holly had a harder time getting at Andrew but her skills and his weak armor lead to many blows. Andrew would retaliate but his blows were missing. The ones that did land were not penetrating through her armor. The longer the fight continued the more likely Holly would win.

The sun started to set and the two were still on the battle field. Holly had received a major wound but she remained standing ready to fight. She breathed heavily and gripped her short sword in her hand harder as she looked at Andrew. Andrew was down on one knee; he stabbed the ground with both swords. He held them tight. Holly has inflicted many minor wounds all over Andrew's body and they began to take there toll. He was breathing heavily and was looking at the ground. His body felt like rock and he could hardly move. He continued to breathe heavily as he lifted his head and looked at her. When their eyes met; Holly charged. Andrew use what strength he had to stand up and to pull his swords out of the ground. Holly jumped at him, she raised both her arms above her head and gripped her sword tightly in both hands and swung downward. Andrew stood there motionless. The crowd quietly watched. Everyone was at the edge of their seats. "Is this it or will he win like he did against me?" Roy thought as he watched Holly's blade came down. A loud "clang" was heard and Holly was thrown backwards.

At the last second Andrew swung his left blade upward as hard as he could. The two blades meet. His mighty swing had pushed Holly's blade back, but at a cost for Andrew's sword was thrown from his hand by the force of her swing. His sword landed twenty feet away from him, but it did not matter. The position of Holly's arms and the backward motion she was in left her completely venerable and she knew it. Andrew lunge at her; she closed her eyes as he came towards her. She felt the ground and then a weight on her chest. She opened her eyes.

The crowd grew silent. Roy rose from his chair. Other knights were quietly talking at the sight before them. Holly lay on the ground. Her arms were above her head and her weapon lay just out of her reach. Andrew had his right knee on her chest, his left hand was holding the top part of Holly's breast plate and he held his swords tip close to her neck. Murmurs came from the stands as the crowd could only watch. The combatants remained motionless. No one knew what was going to happen. Until Andrew pulled his blade back, screamed and plunge his weapon at her. Holly screamed and closed her eyes. The crowd gasped. Roy leaped on to the ground and ran towards them, and then he stopped. Andrew had plunged his sword down and Roy thought the worst. Andrew turned his head and looked at Roy, he released his weapon which remained stand and he slowly stood up. Another gasp came from the crowd.

Holly slowly opened her eyes and saw he plunged his weapon in to ground to the side of her head. He was staring at Roy. Roy let out a sigh a relief when he saw that Holly was alive. Andrew turned his head back to look at her. As he stood over her, he said "You have been defeated, stay down." Holly was angered by this, she clenched her teeth and was about to get up when she looked at his face. He had the same emotionless expression as the night before. She knew he had nothing left and that he could not continue. She stared at his empty expression and the decided to stay down.

A loud cheer came from the crowd. "Our champion, Sir Wegner!" the king announced. The crowd cheered louder. Roy ran out to them and other knights followed. "Are you two all right?" Roy asked. "I'm fine." Holly replied as she stood up. Holly and Roy both looked at Andrew. Knight had surrounded him and begun to congratulate him on his victory. "That's enough. Give him some room." Holly ordered. "Yes Captain." The knights replied and they stepped away from Andrew. Holly walked over to him and Roy followed. With a look of happiness in her face; she extended her hand to him and said "Congratulations Sir Wegner, you defeated me." Andrew could only smile at her. Holly's expression quickly changed to concern for Andrew then closed his eyes and collapsed to the ground.

....................................

Andrew awoke to the song of a birds singing. He lay there thinking to himself. "Where am I? What day is it? How long have I been here? Did I defeat Holly in battle? Is Holly alright..." These thoughts quickly left his head for he had noticed that some one was in the room with him. He heard soft humming and turned his head to see who was making the sound. There sitting by the table was a young female rabbit in a gold robe. She was humming to herself as she sewed. At seeing her, Andrew began to sit up. "Maybe she can answer my questions." He thought. He groaned as he sat up. His body ached and his limbs were stiff. She turned towards him when he groaned. "My lord, please just lie down and rest." She said. She placed her sewing on the table and walk over to him. She helped him lie back down. She turned to the door and called out "Boy, will you please come here." Andrew looked towards the door and there stood a young raccoon. "Yes my lady." The boy said. "Go. Tell the king that Sir Wegner is awake." She said. The boy quickly bowed, turned and disappeared out of sight.

Andrew was about to ask her a question when an "ooff" sound came from outside the door. The boy was backing up past the door, looking at someone. Once the boy passed the door, an old moose entered the room. The moose turned to the boy and said "Off with you now and next time please watch where you are going." The boy was scared by the old moose and quickly ran pass him. Andrew looked at the old moose and remembered that he was the chemist the king had sent for. The chemist turned to look at Andrew. He smiled and said "So you're finally awake."

The sound of footsteps was heard in the hall outside Andrew's room. They stopped and the sound of hard breathing came from the door. The chemist turned around to see who was there. Andrew could not see. The chemist was blocking his view of the door. The chemist nodded at the visitor then walked towards the table and sat down. When the chemist moved Andrew looked at the door and a small smile came to his face. It was Roy standing there. He passed the boy and asked him why he was running. The boy told Roy that Sir Wegner was awake. At this news Roy ran to Andrew's room to see for himself. Roy entered the room and walked over to Andrew's bed. He knelt down next to him and smiled.

"Andrew..." Roy began when the Chemist interrupted. "You have been asleep for a day and a half Andrew. Mary has been here watching you." Andrew turned, looked at her and thanked her. The chemist continued "I must say that was a most impressive battle Andrew. I did not think that any knight could defeat Holly...Any way let me treat you injuries now." Andrew was confuse by the chemist's last statement and asked "Why didn't a healer care for me?" The chemist looked at him and laughed. "Andrew your wounds were small and many. A healer is only used to heal large or mortal wounds. All you will need is some more rest." The chemist looked at Mary and asked her to fetch his case. She arose from Andrew's side and left the room. She passed through the door, turned and disappeared. Andrew turned his head to look at Roy. He asked "What of Holly? Is she?" "Captain Razer is fine Sir Wegner." A voice said from the doorway. The two knights and the chemist turned towards the door to see who was there. At the sight of the visitor, Roy stood up, backed away from Andrew and knelt, the chemist remained seated. It was the king. "Her wounds were healed after your fight. See for yourself." After the king spoke, he walked into the room. He was followed by Holly and the boy who was sent for him. Andrew smiled knowing that Holly was fine. The king walked towards Andrew and passed Roy. After the king passed, Roy stood up. Holly walked over and stood next to Roy.

"Sir Wegner. That was a most impressive battle." The king said. "I did not believe that there was a knight who could defeat my captain of the guards and now I stand here corrected." "Thank you, your highness" Andrew replied. "I am sorry that you missed the festivities after the tournament, but I will be having a feast in your honor once you are better." The king said. "Thank you, your highness." Andrew repeated. At that moment Mary had returned with the chemist's case and she set it on the table. He opened his case, took out some vials and jars and began to work. "Well I will take my leave Sir Wegner so the chemist may work." The king replied. "Yes your highness." Andrew responded. The king smiled at Andrew and left the room and the boy followed. Roy and Holly knelt before him and Mary bowed. The chemist continued his work.

Once the king had left Holly walked over to Andrew. She stared at him in silence then said "Sir Wegner. That was the hardest battle I have ever fought. You defeated me fairly and I will honor my word. Once you are better, you may ask for your reward for defeating me as per our wager." She turned to leave the room. "Sir Bradare lets us go." She said to Roy. "Yes Captain." He replied and the two headed towards the door. Before they left Holly turned back to Andrew and told him "I happy to see you are alright. When you collapsed I thought the worst." She then turned and left the room, Roy followed. Andrew smiled when he heard that. "This should do it." The chemist said. "Here Mary, please help Andrew drink this." He handed Mary a glass and she walked over to Andrew. She helped him to drink it. Andrew became drowsy very quickly. The chemist said "Good night, Andrew. You'll awake in two days." And with that Andrew feel into a deep sleep.

....................................

Andrew was restless. It had been a week since Andrew awoke from his sleep. The king had ordered that he remain on light duty until after the feast in his honor. Holly was only too happy to obey the king. She decided to use Andrew as an earn boy. "I believe you are enjoying this too much Captain." Andrew told her. The two were in the town shopping.

Holly was enjoy the day, the sun was out and a gentle breeze was blowing. This was a day that Holly did not need to serve the king. She was dressed in a pair of old boots and a brown skirt that stopped just above her knee. She wore a green short sleeve shirt and a brown leather vest. Andrew still on light duty still needed to wear partial armor which included his chest plate. She turned toward him, crossed her arms behind her back, and slightly leaned forward. And said "Maybe I am, but I was ordered by the king and I must obey" and with that she smiled at him. Andrew did not mind too much. He enjoyed seeing Holly having fun. He preferred this side of her over the strong stubborn captain. They went from shop to shop, looking at the goods the merchants had on display. "I can not wait for tomorrow." Andrew said as Holly looked at jewelry. She turned and looked at him. She gave him a small frown. "I know. I am going to miss having my earn boy." She said. "Please stop calling me that." Andrew replied. Holly giggled. Tonight was the feast for Andrew and he could not wait for tomorrow he would return to duty and would be able to claim his reward.

The hall was decorated in fine royal decor. Inside was the king, the King's Guard and honored guests. A fanfare was played on trumpets and the guests feel silent. The doors at the end of the hall. There stood Sir Wegner donning a majestic robe, a new breast plate and his sword at his side. He slowly entered the hall and walked toward the king. Once he was before the king he knelt down. The king spoke. "Honored guest and my mighty guard. Before me kneels a brave warrior. He overcame overwhelming odds and defeated my greatest champion. Arise, Lord Wegner." Andrew rose and the room was filled with applause. Music started to play and the feast began. Holly approached Andrew to congratulate him. She wore a long silver gown, her hair was in a single braid and she wore the same sweet perfume as on the day he was knighted. The two sat together at the table near the king. Roy and the other King's Guard joined the two and they enjoy the feast. As the feast started to end, Andrew leaned near Holly and whispered in her ear "Tomorrow, I will tell you what I want for winning our wager."

Andrew had a smile on his face. It was time to collect on his wager with Holly. Earlier in the day after routine training for the King's Guard, Andrew asked Holly if they could speak in private. She dismissed the other knights and the two walk off to speak privately. The other knights did not leave right away. They lingered and watched the two speak. When the two finished talking, Holly had an angry look on her face and Andrew was smiling. They shook hands and Holly walked off in a huff. Roy and some of the other knights walk over to Andrew and they began to talk. "What did you say to her Andrew? Holly looked really angry when she left." Roy asked. "Oh, it's nothing Roy. I just told her what I wanted for winning the wager." Andrew replied. He continued "At first she did not agree with my request..." He paused for a second and continued "But she is a woman of her word." "Well what did you want from her?" a knight asked. "I'm not telling you." Andrew replied. The knight groaned at his response. Roy then asked "Why won't you tell us?" "It was part of the agreement. She gives me what I want and I do not speak of it to anyone." Andrew replied. "Can you tell us when you'll be collecting on your wager?" another knight asked. "Tonight, after the evening meal." Andrew replied. And with that Andrew bid farewell to the others and left.

As Andrew walked away Roy followed and caught up with him. "Now Andrew, You can tell me what you asked of Holly?" Roy asked while they walk. Andrew just looked at Roy and smiled. "Andrew it will just be between us." Roy continued. They stopped walking. Andrew looked at Roy and told him "Sorry Roy, I can not tell you. If Holly found out ..." "I won't tell anyone." Roy interrupted. "Sorry, I can't." Andrew replied and started to walk again. Roy just stood there and watched him walk away.

It was mid afternoon and the knights were gathering at the hall for dinner. Roy with his fellow King's Guard entered the hall to see Andrew and Holly were already there. The two were sitting across from one another silent. Holly was watching Andrew. She still had an angry look on her face. Andrew occasionally would look up from his plate at Holly. Holly would blush when he looked at her and she would quickly look away. After doing that Andrew would have a little smile on his face and he would look back down at his plate and continue to eat. Once he was started to eat again, Holly would start to watch him again.

Roy and the others sat down next to them. Roy said "Well Andrew its almost time isn't?" as he placed a piece of meat on his plate. "Yes it is" Andrew responded still looking down. "Well, will you tell us what she will be doing for you?" Roy asked. Holly quickly turned and looked at Roy. She then looked at Andrew and blushed. Andrew had begun to take a drink when Roy asked. He placed his glass down, looked at Holly, turned to Roy and answered "No. I will not tell you." Holly let out a small sigh of relief. After answering Andrew continued to eat. Roy watched Andrew for a second and then turned his attention towards Holly. "Well Captain, what did he ask of you that have you in this state of anger and embarrassment?" Roy asked. Andrew looked at Roy then at Holly. "Sir Bradare." She began "As your captain, I advise you not to press the matter any further." After she spoke she excused herself from the table and left. "Best do as she said." Andrew said after Holly left the table. "You do not want to make your Captain angry do you?" After Andrew spoke he too excused himself and was about to leave. But before he left Roy asked him one more question. "And what are you doing?" Andrew turned to Roy and answered "I'm going to get ready for my reward." He then turned and left the hall. After Andrew left, Roy just shook his head and began to eat.

....................................

Andrew had returned to his room. He removed what little armor he wore and changed into some old clothes he used when he was a shepherd. He washed up and then left for Holly's quarters. He passed many fellow knights as he traveled through the hallways. They softly talked amongst themselves at the sight before them. "Lord Wegner is going to collect his reward for defeating Captain Razer, but what is his reward?"

He arrived at his destination, outside Holly's quarters. He stood before her door and took a deep breathe and held it. He was gathering his courage. He slowly released his breathe and knocked on the door. "Who is there?" Holly asked. "Captain, it is I Lord Wegner. "Andrew replied. "You may enter." She responded. Andrew slowly reached for the door handle and opened the door. "Please enter quickly then close the door." Holly ordered as he started to enter the room. Andrew did as he was told and entered the room and then quickly turned to close the door. Andrew hand his hand on the door handle and was staring at the door. He closed his eyes and took another deep breathe. He slowly turned around and opened his eyes.

There Holly sat on the side of her bed naked. She had her arms crossed in front of her to conceal her breasts. She did not look over at him; instead she had fixed her gaze on the wall in front of her. She started to blush once she felt his gaze upon her. Andrew stood there and gazed at her beauty as she sat exposed to him in her fur. As he gazed upon her, he did not see the elegant woman from the feast or the strong stubborn captain. He saw the beauty that is woman. She has never been in this position, completely exposed and vulnerable. She has always been in control and now she has given control to another. She was uncomfortable and awaited his response.

He thought back to this morning: "What?" Holly asked. "That is what I want Captain and I believe it is within your power to do so." Andrew answered. "You can not be serious Sir Wegner that is what you want?" Holly asked. "Yes. I would like your company for one night." He replied. Holly became angered and embarrassed with his request. "Fine, you may have your night with me." She replied closing her eyes and turning her head away from him. "Fine, then I will come over to your quarters tonight." He replied. "That is fine." She said still not looking at him. "I would like for you to be awaiting me in the nude." He said. She quickly turned her head to look at him and blushed. "NUDE!" she replied. "Yes. I did win the wager." He replied smiling. "Fine, I am a woman of my word." She said while blushing even more. She turned away and began to pout at his request. She turned to him again and said "You are not to tell anyone about this. Is that clear Sir Wegner?" "Yes Captain." He answered. The two shook hands, she turned and left him while still pouting.

"Well Lord Wegner. Your reward awaits you." Holly said turning to look at him. She was still blushing. Andrew slowly walked over to her and thought to himself "This is what you wanted, now go... But is this really what I wanted... This does not seem right." Andrew now stood next to her. She had affixed her gaze back at the wall. He sat down beside her and turned his head to look at her. She was blushing and kept glancing at him from the corner of her eyes. Andrew spoke "I did this for her... I did this for you." Holly turned and looked at him at what he had said. "You did this for me?" She asked. He reached out and gently touched the side of her face with his hand. He moved his face closer to hers and said "I did it for you...I did it for love...I ...I love you Holly." Holly's eyes opened wide when she heard this. Andrew had closed his eyes and kissed her. When she realized what was happening she pushed Andrew away. She crossed her arms in front of her and turned her back towards him. Andrew sat the silently watching her. "You love me?" She asked looking back over her shoulder at him. "Yes" he replied. She turned her head back and blushed. "I did not know Lord Wegner. This is a surprise to ..." she lied. She had a feeling he loved her from his behavior around her. Andrew had stood up and began to walk towards the door. "Lord Wegner what is wrong?" she asked turning towards him making sure she keep her arms crossed to cover her breasts. "I thought that this would make me happy, but all I'm doing is making you uncomfortable." He said. He turned his head back towards her and said "I can not do this. I can not if you don't..." He trailed off. He looked back at the door and continued to walk towards it. Holly sat there. Thinking about what he had said. Remembering all he went through to be there now. "He loves me." She softly said to herself touching her lips with her fingers. He reached out for the door handle when Holly said. "Andrew." He turned around to see what she wanted.

She had wrapped her arms around his neck. She had pushed Andrew's back into the door when she embraced him. She closed her eyes and kissed him. Andrew was caught off guard. He slowly realized what she was doing. He closed his eyes and slowly he embraced her close to him. Time had frozen while the two kissed. They released the kiss and slowly opened their eyes. They stood there in each others arms gazing deeply into each others eyes. Holly then adverted her gaze, blushed and a small smile came to her face. "Holly. You..." Andrew began but Holly moved her hand and placed her finger over his lips. He looked at her and all she did was smile at him. "Let us see what happens tonight." She softly told him. They kissed again.

Andrew swept Holly off her feet and held her close in his arms. She laid her head against his chest and listened to his heart beat. He carried her back over to her bed and he gently laid her down. She laid there with her arms at her side; she did not need to hide herself from him any longer. She watched as Andrew undressed. He walked over to her and climbed on to the bed. He positioned his upper body over hers and they stared into each others eyes. Holly reached up and placed her hand on the side of his face. She pulled him in close and the two kissed again.

When they finished kissing, Andrew laid next to Holly. He began to kiss her neck. She purred when he did this. He reached out and softly grabbed her breast in his hand. She let out a small scream and the continued to purr. Andrew lay there kissing her and gently fondled her breast. She closed her eyes, smiled and enjoyed the sensation in her body. Andrew moved down her body. He grabbed both her breasts in his hands and continued to gently fondle them. Holly purred a little louder. When he saw she was pleased, he move his face in close and started to lick her nipples. She slowly began to pant. Andrew smiled as she succumbs to him. He released her breast and slow move down her body. His kissed her belly from the top to the bottom as he moved downwards. He had finally reached what he wanted. He was leaning over her hips looking at her. She had her legs together. He looked up at her. She giggled and told him to be gentle with her. He smiled and reached down. He gently opened her legs and then caressed one of her legs with his hand as he moved it towards her vagina. He softly touched her. She shivered and let out another small scream. He looked at her again. A look a satisfaction was on her face, she smiled at him urging him to continue. He did not want to disappoint her. He moved in closely and opened her up wide. He gently blew on her vagina. She shivered again and screamed. He moved in closer and began to lick her. She relaxed as he caressed her vagina with his tongue. She lay there and purred happily. She slowly began to pant harder and harder as he continued. His tongue danced around her. She could no longer take it. She screamed as pleasure shot through her body radiating from her vagina. She squirmed but Andrew kept a hold on her and continued his licking. She came for him.

He stopped and straightened up to see her face. She lay there with her eyes closed and a smile on her face. As the pleasure left her; she opened her eyes and looked at him. "It is your turn now Andrew." She told him. She got to her knees and wrapped her arms around him. She turned him and pushed him on to his back. She mounted him after he fell. She leaned in close and they kissed. She then turned her attention to his lower region. She gently kissed his chest as she moved down towards what she wanted. Andrew lay there as she looked at his penis. It had started to become hard as he pleasured her. She smiled at him and he smiled back. She licked her lips, opened her mouth and plunge her head down. Andrew moaned. Holly had engulfed his penis deep in her mouth. She slowly moved her head up and down, up and down. She used her tongue to play with it as she pleasure him. Andrew could only close his eyes and succumb to the pleasure. Holly had pulled her head back and gripped his hard penis in her hand. She stroked it and licked its tip with her tongue. Andrew moaned louder as she did this. She smiled and moved in close to use her mouth again. Andrew groaned as she pleasured him "I want to taste your sweet vagina again." She stopped and smiled at him. She kept hold of his penis as she turned her body. She straddled his upper body. Andrew reached out and spread her ass open to find her vagina dripping wet. "Do you like what you see?" She asked. A muffled yes came from Andrew as he stuck his face into her ass. He began to lick her again. She moaned and gripped him harder. She looked down at his penis in her hand. She stroked in a couple time and moved in again to continue sucking it. The two continued to pleasure one another until Andrew pushed his tongue deep inside her. She let out a muffled moan with his penis in her mouth. She pulled back and screamed. She came again. As her body filled with pleasure she panted hard and went back to sucking him. She continued until and Andrew could no longer take it, he closed his eyes and let out a moan. She had released his penis from her mouth and kept her face close to it. He came on her face. She closed her eyes as he ejaculated on her face. When he finished she got off him and turned around to look at him. He opened his eyes and watched her. She moved her hand to her mouth and was licking the semen off her hand. She happily purred as she moved her tongue all around her fingers as to not miss a single drop.

She cleaned her face as she knelt near him. Andrew had reach out and grabbed her ass and was rubbing it in her hand. She purred. She reached down and grabbed his penis again. It had become a little limp but when she touched it, it stiffens up quickly. Holly turned her body and sat over Andrew penis. Her back was towards him. She had her hand between her legs as she slowly stroked him. She moved her hips down and she rubbed the tip of his penis in her vagina. He moaned and she panted. She moved his penis back and she slid it into her ass. She plunge her hips down and it went deep into her. She moaned and began to pant as she bounced up and down. Andrew reached out and placed his hands on her hips. He helped push her up and down. She enjoyed it. She continued to thrust her hips down, pushing his penis deeper and deeper into her ass. She leaned back and grabbed her breasts. He kept a hold on her hips. She continued to bounce up and down on his penis as she squeezed her breasts in her hands. "I can longer take it. I'm going to cum" Andrew screamed. Holly looked back over her shoulder at him. She gave him a small smiled and licked her lips. She reached down and grabbed his legs for balance and began to thrust harder and faster. "That's it keep it up and I will come with you." She panted. Andrew closed his eyes and moaned. Holly released his legs and grabbed her breasts hard. She threw her head back and screamed. They came together. Holly knelt over him shaking with pleasure. Andrew came deep in her ass and she felt his warmth deep inside her. She wiggled her hips to gain more pleasure. Andrew moaned loudly at this and Holly felt another shot of pleasure enter her.

She panted as the pleasure left her body. She felt that his hard stiff penis was still deep inside her. She moved forward and Andrew's penis slid out. Andrew lay there breathing hard and Holly sat there panting. She reached back and felt his semen around her ass hole. She gathered some on her finger and looked at it. It glistened as she looked at it. She opened her mouth and sucked it off her finger. Andrew watched her and made his move. He sat up a grabbed her from behind. He held her close in his arms. She giggled when he grabbed her and she repeated "Be gentle with me." They sat there together. Holly softly purred as Andrew held her tight. He slowly moved his hand down her belly and touched her vagina. She shivered with please and he asked "My lady may I?" "Yes you may." She replied.

He laid her down on the bed and again positioned himself over her. Her hair was covering her face as she lay there panting. She had her legs closed and a smile on her face. Andrew reached down and gently moved the hair from her face and she purred happily. He moved both his hands down to her inner thighs and he opened her legs. She began to breathe harder in anticipation. He moved his hips close to hers, grabbed his penis and move it close to her vagina. He gently rubbed his penis's tip in the vagina. She let out a small scream. They then stared at one another. Holly smiled at him and he smiled back and with that he plunge his penis deep inside of her. She screamed and reached behind her head to grab anything to brace herself with. Andrew grabbed her hips to pull her close. She lay there purring happily. Andrew gazed at her. "She is so beautiful." He thought to himself as he held her. She then purred a little louder and smiled at him. He smiled back and then he began to thrust his pelvis slowly and gently but he quickly went faster and harder. Holly screamed as he went deeper and deeper. She wrapped her legs around his waist, intertwined her tail with his and reached down and grabbed her breasts. As they continued, Andrew let go of her hips and placed his on either side of her head and leaned in close to her face. They were nose to nose as he went in and out. She smiled as she panted. He gave her an evil smile and thrust even harder. She scream and reach out with her arms and wrapped the around his neck.

"He is so far inside me. He can not possible go any deeper but I want him to go even deeper. I want him to fill me to become one with me." Holly thought. "She is pulling me in deeper and deeper." He thought as he pleasured her "I want to release into her; I want to release and fulfill her entire body." They continued. Andrew held her closer as he went deeper into her. Holly wrapped her legs and arms tighter around with every thrust. "An...Andrew...I want...I want you to...to cum on my face." Holly screamed into his ear as she came closer and closer to her peak. "Yes, Holly. I will...I will..." He groaned. Holly let got of his neck and threw her arms back. Andrew straightened up and grabbed her hips. He pulled her close as he thrust deeper. "I'm...I'm going to..." Holly screamed. She came as Andrew kept thrusting. She slowly panted after she came, but Andrew kept going. He was getting closer and closer when he pulled out and grabbed his penis and furious stroked himself. Andrew moved towards Holly's head the best he could as he got ready to cum. He knelt to her side and got his penis close to her face. Holly had grabbed her breasts and was squeezing them. Andrew moaned loudly and Holly was ready. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth wide. Andrew moaned even louder and he threw his head back, closed his eyes and he came. He squirted in her mouth. He groaned again and then squirted her above her upper lip on to her face. He looked back down at her and gave one more groan. He squirted in her mouth again.

Andrew was knelt next to her breathing heavily with a smile on his face. Holly was licking her lips and playing with his semen with her tongue. She moved her hand to her face and began to clean her face. She would lick her fingers after she got some more of his semen on them from her face. When she had finished cleaning her face, she laid there smiling at him. Andrew lay down next to her and held her close. Holly laid her head in his chest and happy purred. Andrew stroked that back of her head as he held her. "Holly." Andrew spoke. "Yes." She replied. "What will be of us tomorrow?" He asked. "Tomorrow we will both be happier as we wait for tomorrow night." She answered. "What? Does that mean..." Andrew was silenced. Holly moved her hand to his face and placed her finger on his lips. "Yes it does." She said. They started to drift to sleep. "I love you." Holly softly spoke as she drifted to sleep. "And I love you." Andrew replied as he fell asleep.

The weeks that followed, everyone noticed a difference in Andrew and Holly. The two started eating more meals together. Holly had Andrew accompany her on her duties more often. When the two would pass one another they would stop and stare at each other with smiles on their faces. When the two were not on duty, they were seen in the town together holding hands, laughing and showing signs of affection towards one another. It was easy to see the signs of love between them.

One day after Andrew had dismissed some new knights; Roy walked up to him, placed his arm around his shoulder and said "I see you finally told her." "Told her what?" Andrew asked. Roy just looked at him with a big smile on his face. Andrew closed his eyes and a small smile came to his face. "I told you so." Roy said. "Yes you did. And after taking your advice I have never been happier." Andrew answered. "Ah, to be young and in love" Roy began "Ever since you collected on that wager you two have been together everywhere. What did happen that night?" "I can't tell you." Andrew answered. "Well then, why does Holly always want to see you in her quarters as of late?" Roy asked. A big smile came to Andrew's face. He said "Well Roy, Holly and I..." "Lord Bradare, Lord Wegner." A voice said from behind the two. They turned to see who it was. At the sight they answered "Captain Razer." She had over heard their conversation. "Now what were you two just talking about." She asked. "Nothing Captain." Andrew answered. At his response Holly gave them a sly smiled. She then began to walk pass them. She stopped, turned her head towards Andrew and said "I would like to see you at my quarters tonight Lord Wegner." "Yes Captain Razer." He responded. She then continued to walk away from them. The two watched as she walked away. She was swinging her tail back and forth in a seductive fashion. Roy turned to Andrew and said "You won't tell me what happened that night, but I think I know." Roy then took his leave. As he walked away, he turned back to Andrew and said "You are very lucky. Holly is wonderful woman." "No. She's perfect." Andrew replied.
