#1 of Demon Lord's Chronicles

A young dragonoid awakens in an unknown cave with no recollection of his past and not knowing his present, but he soon meets someone who is willing to help him piece everything together.

Another isekai story that I've been working on for a while. Fair warning, this one will have longer chapters than I'm used to writing, so progress on this one will be pretty slow.


The Demon Lord's fall was felt across the entire realm of Pandora, the heroes have finally won after a long and exhausting battle. The world is now free, but they cannot relax just yet, the cycle will just continue and a new Demon Lord shall rise in the coming future to reclaim the diabolical throne of their predecessor.

Kuan Dusk, an eagle-like garuda researcher with white feathers, dressed in black and silver-detailed clothing, read that specific passage in the book he had in his hand, multiple times now, then turned his head to look at the island in the distance. An island with the biggest volcano in the world sitting right in the center, two large rocks on either side giving the volcano itself a demonic look, hence the name of Demon Lord's Isle.

"Professor Dusk, we're almost there and preparing to anchor, sir." One of the ship's crew informed him quickly before going back to his duties. However, the researcher's mind was elsewhere entirely.

"Something on your mind?" Another garuda, this one more duck-like with mainly cyan-blue feathers and black markings at the top of his head, sides of his face, and neck, wearing a naval uniform which was black, blue, and white in color, asked as he stood beside the eagle garuda, hands behind his back.

"When I was told to investigate Demon Lord Isle, I had this feeling of dread, I mean it's Demon Lord Isle... But now that I'm seeing the island for myself... I just feel excited, I expected fear, worry, but nope, I'm just excited."

"You don't think the new Demon Lord has been awakened?" The duck garuda asked as he scooted a bit closer.

Kuan leaned on the ship's railing, a small smile spreading across his beak. "You know... even if they were, I'm actually looking forward to meeting them."

"I see... Well, we're close to land and will be weighing anchor soon." One of the captain's hands slowly edged towards Kuan... "If... there's anything I can do for you..." And gently rested on the eagle's lower back.

Kuan instantly straightened himself up. "Well, better get to preparing my gear then." And quickly walked away, leaving the captain with a slightly sad look on his face that he quickly shook off before walking off the deck as well to get into position.

*SMASH* "GAH! Fuck me! Finally!" Said a young man as he broke free from whatever was containing him, although he was covered in some sort of foul-smelling slime. "Ugh, are you kidding me?" He stepped out of the container that had him trapped for who knows how long, shaking off his scaly hands and feet before shaking his entire body feral-style.

"Now... where the hell am I?" He looked around and noticed that he was in a cave of some sort, water dripping down with a small but echoing drops. "Phew... gotta find something to cover up with, or I'm freezing to death in here..." He looked around a bit more, his eyes falling on whatever he was contained in just a moments ago. "What the fuck?" What he saw was a large, man-sized egg with a very visible crack from where he punched himself free.

"Eh, could've been worse. Least I didn't pop out of a giant, eldrich pussy or some shit like that." He grumbled to himself as he decided to check himself out, seeing his black and purple, scaled body, his thick tail swishing and thumping behind him. "Well... this is a strange body to wake up in... but I do feel awesome~" He had some excitement in his face as he looked at one arm and gave it a flex, seeing his bicep bulging out to an impressive size. "Holy shit, this is awesome!" He looked around a bit more and finally found a small puddle in the corner, taking a peak inside to see the dragon-like face staring at him, that alarmed him for a few seconds, but as his hands traced his powerful jaws, red mane on his head and the powerful horns jutting from the back. "Whoa..."

However, a small gust of cold wind quickly woke him up from his self-admiration. "Hoo-fuck... gotta find someplace warm and quick!" *GRRRROOOWWWLLLL* "And something to eat." So he left the chamber-like cave to do just that.

The large, military ship finally docked on the beach of Demon Lord isle, everyone now on the sandy beach and setting up a camp for a lengthy expedition. Along with Kuan, who already had his exploration essentials packed in his backpack that he was already carrying on his back. "I'm gonna go ahead and see what I can find."

"Not without protective personnel, you aren't." The captain looked over a small group of soldiers, a hamster, a rabbit, and a human. "You three! Go with the professor and make sure he's safe. More soldiers will follow once the camp is set up."

"Yay, me..." Kuan didn't wait for them to follow suit as he was already walking through the dense forest, making his way to the volcanic mountain.

*BOOM* A small explosion happened somewhere deep in the maze of a cave, the dragon facing off against a large, snake-like creature with horns and large, tusk-like fangs. "Come on... just a little more..." He took a fighting stance and waited... the snake lunged at him finally, with him jumping out of the way. "Mountain Splitter!" He delivered a chopping strike to the snake's neck, effectively and cleanly severing the head from the rest of the body.

"YES!" He pumped his fist in the air in triumph... but then it dawned on him. "Is it even edible, though...?" Without having any form of utensils on hand, he resorted to ripping out a chunk of the snake's meat in his head, blowing some fire on it for a quick roasting and took a bite... His face instantly taking on a pained expression. "Ugh... so bitter... Beggars and choosers though, right?" So he kept on eating, baring through the awfully bitter taste until everything was gone. "Urp... guess I was hungrier than I thought..." He mused as he tapped his full belly, absently running his hands through the tight row of abs he was sporting, but jolted up as he felt this strange and very quick rush of energy. "Holy fuck! The hell was that!?" He focused for a bit until a menu-screen popped in front of his face, it looked like a screen you'd see in an RPG of sorts, complete with the common options like stats, equipment, skills, etc. This thing popped in front of his face about an hour or so earlier, after he was chased by another large beast that prowled the tunnels of this large, dungeon-like cave.

When he opened it at first, most of the options were a bit faded and he couldn't interact with them, but now after he feasted on the remains of the large snake, the 'Skills' option lit up with a tiny, red exclamation mark beside it. Pressing the button opened another screen that showed him two more options: Passive and Active, pressing on passive, he saw a semi-faded out list with only the top one lit up with 'Poison Resistance', he went back and then into active this time, seeing the top two lit up with 'Posion Shot' and 'Infra-red Vision'.

"Hmm... guess it won't hurt to try..." He closed the menu and tried focus on which active skill to use, choosing Poison Shot as he raised his arm forward, aiming it at a distant rock. He watched as a strange blob of dark purple fluid began gathering in his palm... "Alright... Poison Shot!" The blob was sent flying like a bullet at the rock he was aiming, actually punching a hole through it and hitting the wall behind, leaving the surface cracked a bit and covered in the substance. "Whoa... that was both awesome and scary. Better not go aiming this at people... if there are any in this place."

He opened the menu once again and went into stats, his eyes once again falling on the row of question marks in front of the 'Name'. "Dammit... why can't I remember?" He growled to himself as he looked around a bit more. "Gotta get out of here... someone out there should be able to help..." And he set out once more in search of the exit, with more urgency this time as he sprinted at full speed down one of the tunnels.

He took a side turn into another tunnel... only to rush back out, almost skidding into a wall, right as he jumped out of the way from a large, rolling boulder... only for it to unfurl into a giant, dinosaur-like monster with dangerous spikes on it's back. "You got to be fucking kidding me!" He cried out as he dashed at fullspeed to get away from the monster as it balled itself once agian and began rolling after him.

Outside the caves, Kuan just sent a barrage of fireballs at a large, horned beast that tried to make dinner out of him and his group. "That should be it for the time being..." He mused to himself as his metallic wand retracted into a pen-like shape, the length was lined with mystic stones and the surface covered in circuit-like decorations that shifted between the colors of the elements when activated, but now it was dull and colorless. "Let's get in a bit deeper before setting camp for the night. We'll reach the mountain in the morning."

It didn't take long before a camp was set up and the other three were already nibbling on their rations, meanwhile Kuan was in his tent eating on his own snacks he brought from home, he never ate too much when out on an expedition or a quest, his lamp lit up as he studied the map of the island. "Hm... we might be in trouble once we get into the caves..." He was told by those who came before them that the caves were actually a dungeon that, through the nefarious magic of one of the former Demon Lords, changes every few days, so trying to make a map of the place would be useless and the deeper they went, the more lost they will be.

"Thinking about it too much will only give me a headache..." He folded the map and placed it back into his backpack... his hand grazing over the adult magazine he brought along, or rather, his brother snuck into his expedition belongings before he left. "Dammit, Izzi..." He had a blush burning on his face as he remember how he found it in the first place, good thing no one else noticed it among his stuff. He was absolutely disgusted at the idea of his brother having such things, but... "One peak won't hurt, right?" Against his better judgement, he turned off his lap only to conjure a tiny wisp of light, barely enough to see the pages, as he grabbed the magazine, from the very cover one could to tell that it was a gay magazine. "Damn you, Izzi..." Cursing his brother's vulgarity once again, he flipped the book of naughtiness open and was instantly mesmerized by the multitude of sexy, studly men of various races that covered each page, all in various stats of (un)dress and posing in some pretty suggestive positions.

It didn't take long for Kuan's pants to feel very tight under such visual stimulation, quickly undoing them because it was starting to hurt a bit, releasing a very impressive, humanoid cock, instantly taking hold of it in his rough, raptor-like hand and started slowly stroking himself. The further he went through the magazine, the more... lewd it became, soon enough, it was all naked men, a few posing in couples of small groups, then even further through, it showed pictures of some men mid-sex. "Fuck..." He gripped himself a bit tightly as the tip of his cock began leaking. "Ah, dammit..." He let go of his cock and put the magazine down to undress himself, soon revealing the muscular, human body with light-tan skin that was completely smooth and free of feathers, scales, and/or fur, his white feathers on his head, forearms, and forelegs beautifully contrasting the color of his skin.

Now with his clothes off and saved from being drenched in sweat, he went back to the magazine, jerking himself a bit faster and harder, sweat already trailing down every muscle in his body. But soon enough, simply stroking himself wasn't enough, with a bit of magic, the magazine was left floating in the air, with his hand now free, he dipped his two middle fingers into his mouth, sucking and slobbering on them, and coating both in a generous amount of spit, moaning deeply as he did, once they were slick enough, he quickly slipped them down to his rear, lifting one leg high up and shoving both fingers into his hole, letting out a loud gasp, eyes rolling back briefly as his tongue flopped out the side of his beak.

The slick, wet, sounds of *Shlck... slurp... splrt...* of his fingers digging as deeply as possible into his anal tunnels was almost music to his ears at this point, his other hand still busy jerking his cock. At some point, he lost all focus and the levitation magic on the magazine was undone, letting it fall to the floor, but Kuan wasn't worried about it right now, all of his focus was on his arousal, picking up the pace with both his jerking and fingre fucking. One more shoved dug his fingers deep into his ass until one poked at his prostate. "NNGGYYAAHHH!" He tried to keep it down, but that was a clearly failed endeavor as his orgasm slammed into him like a speeding train, his cock throbbing hard with each shot, *Splrt! Spurt! Sprt!* sending rope after rope in the air and raining down on him, practically painting himself with his own semen, near the end he managed to aim himself down and shoot right into his mouth, giving himself a pretty impressive facial.

The sounds of his self-pleasuring were faint, but the soldier's outside could here bits and pieces of it, they decided not to say anything, as they knew that the garuda's anger was nothing to be trifled with.

Inside the cave, the dragon man just finished eating the last bits of the dinosaur monster's meat, tossing the bone into the small pile he made, that was a very hard fight and he got the bruises and injuries to prove it, his body covered in puncture, scratch, and even some bite marks. "I have to get out of here... otherwise this whole place will kill me..." He was more than determined now, as it truly became a matter of life and death, but he can't go through this place without some proper rest, so he had to get some shut eye, if only for an hour or less. So he did just that, laid down on the hard ground, but the warm fire from the makeshift pit he built made up for it, if only a little bit.

Unfortunately, he didn't rest for long, the sense of dread warning him of nearby danger, barely opening his eyes and, almost instinctively, looked up... and the color drained from his entire body... "Why...?" His voice was on the verge of cracking in a fearful sob. Hanging from the roof of the large chamber he was in countless scuttling and large spiders, slowly crawling down, all of their eyes glaring right at him.

"KEEEEYYYAAAAAHHHH!!!!" He screamed as he made a mad dash out of the chamber and sprinting at full speed, the army of arachnids crawling behind him at scary speed as well. "WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE SPIDERS!?" He cried out with tears of absolute fear practically spraying from the corners of his eyes. He didn't care where he went at this point, as long as it was far away from those creepy-crawlies.

The next day.

Kuan and his group were getting closer to the mountain's cave entrance, traversing through dangerous forestry until they saw the gaping maw of the cave's entrance, multiple stone protrustions on both top and bottom of the cave, giving the impression of a beast's mouth. "Sheesh, even the caves are scary as hell."

"Professor! Maybe we should wait for the others to follow?" One of the soldiers accompanying him asked as he looked behind them.

"Ugh, fine!" He only agreed because he knows that the captain will be straight up his ass if he ventured in with such a small force, and not in the good way.

"Hey... You hear something?" The rabbit asked them as his ears began turning this way and that.

"Huh? I don't hear any-" Kuan started, but instead of hearing it, he felt the malicious intent of something inside the cave, quickly turning around and brandishing his wand. "Get ready! Something's coming at us!" He warned as he stepped back, wand aiming at the cave's entrance.

Just then, a pack of apes with dark fur and large hands came barreling out of the cave, quickly surrounding the group and forcing them back against each other. "Dammit! Where did all these Mountain Apes come from!?" The human soldier held up his spear threateningly.

"Doesn't matter, right now we have to create an opening for retreat!" Kuan instructed as a charge of magic began focusing on the tip of his wand. "Arcane Blitz!" He swing it in a wide arc in front of him, sending multiple wisps of arcane energy flying and striking multiple Apes. That riled up the others big time as they pounced on him and the soldiers.

He managed to jump out of the way, the soldiers doing the same before being caught in a fight against a group of apes on their own, while Kuan faced against the rest of them. "Dammit! Spark Spear!" He conjured a spear of electrical energy before hurling it at one of the apes, the moment it's struck the monster's chest it split into multiple spears and struck all the other apes around it, taking them down in an instant, but there was too many of them. "Crap, crap, crap!" He growled to himself as he watch in the distance how the soldiers were getting overwhelmed.

Almost as if noticing his moment of lost focus, the apes surrounding him pounced, ready to tear him apart, from this distance he can't cast a counter spell in time, crossing his arms in front of him and preparing for the worst. "Spike Burst!" A voice called out from beside them, just as multiple spikes of stone piercing all the apes around them with lethal accuracy, some of them impaled on the nearby trees or onto the ground, others just falling to the ground dead. Kuan first turned to the soldiers to see them pretty scratched and bruised, but otherwise fine, then turned the other way to see their 'saviour', a tall and muscular dragon with black and purple scales, and a crimson-red mane stood at the cave's entrance. "Take THAT, you fucking... smelly... APES!" The dragon screamed out while shaking his fist in the air, wobbling a bit on unsteady legs, almost as if drunk.

Kuan and the soldiers watched in confused shock, but then Kuan noticed the dragon's body, total nakedness and his exposed manhood aside, the man was covered from head to feet in man scars, scratches, bruises, puncture wounds, he's been through a gauntlet and came out barely alive. "Hey!" He called out to them, body still swaying a bit and eyes clearly a bit unfocused. "You guys, uh... mind if I take a nap for a bit?" They all shook their head in the negative. "Great! You guys are the BEST!" He did an excited swing with his arm... only for his body to flop forward, face first, into the grassy ground.

"Hey!" Kuan instantly made his way over to the man and leaned down to check on him, letting out a sigh of relief once he noticed that he was just sleeping, his breathing soft and steady. "And where the hell did you come from?" Just then, he heard the sound of multiple boots coming their way, turning back just to see the captain and some soldiers appearing from behind the bushes. "Over here! Need some medics here!"

The captain gave his silent permission before two medics jogged over to the heavily injured man, Kuan letting them do their thing as he stood up and made his way over to the captain. "So... mind telling me what happened here? I thought I made it clear-"

Kuan stopped him with a raised hand. "We didn't go into the dungeon. Some Mountain Apes came stampeding out, I'm guessing we have our 'friend' over their to thank for that." He nodded in the direction of the dragon who was being treated with bandages and healing spells where recquired. "But, he did end up saving us, despite it being a bit unintentional."

"I see." The captain held his chin in thought. "Do we know who he is?"

"Call me crazy, but... I think he's the person we've been looking for."

"Excuse me!? You mean he's the De-" The captain had his beak held shut by Kuan.

"Not so loud!" The eagle garuda reprimanded with a whisper. "I'm still not sure myself... we'll have to take him back to the capital so I can run proper tests. Until then, not a word of this to anyone."

The captain removed the eagle's hand from his beak. "I hope you know what you're doing, Kua-"

"That's Professor Dusk to you, Captain Winters." He put quite the heavy emphasis on 'Captain', his words unintentionally dripping with venom, turning his head away nervously. "L-Let's just grab him and get out of here. This place is starting to give me the creeps." And he just walked past the captain, not saying another word.

With a pained groan, the dragon woke up on a soft surface and a fancy-looking ceiling. "What the...?" He didn't ask anyone in particular as he slowly sat up, realizing that he was on a bed, and a quick look around he noticed that he was in quite the luxurious room. "Am I... dreaming... or am I dead?"

"Seeing how you're up, I can assure you: You are neither." The dragon jumped a bit as he heard and saw the eagle man sitting at a nearby desk, but that made his body tense as great pain shot through every cell, forcing a cry of pain out of him. "Careful, you were pretty banged up when we found you. Or rather when you found us."

"Wha?" He looked down at himself, noticing the multiple bandages and patches covering his body... and the tight briefs covering his genitals. "Uh... thanks, I guess."

"I know you just woke up and all, but is it okay if I ask you some questions?" The eagle asked as he stood and made his way over to the bed, dragging his chair along. "Ah, forgive the late introductions, I am Kuan Dusk, a researcher working for the Academy. And you are?"

"I... don't know..." That answer kinda surprised Kuan a bit. "I... don't think I have a name." The dragon replied a bit bashfully as he rubbed the back of his head, almost ashamed of the fact of being nameless.

"Really now...? Then... where did you come from? Where were you born?"

"An egg, I guess?" Another answer that baffled the eagle a bit. "Look, all I know is that everything around me was this... black, silent void for god knows how long and then all of a sudden, I'm bursting out of this HUGE egg in this damp, humid cave. Next thing I know, I'm fighting for my fucking life against hordes of monsters and... *shiver* spiders..."

"You... have no recollection whatsoever? Who you are? Relations? Family? Anything?"

"I DON'T KNOW, OKAY!?" The dragon roared out, tears sitting at the corner of his black and purple eyes. "I don't know... I don't know..." He repeated as he held his head, said tears gently dripping down onto the blanket that covered his lower parts.

"It's alright, it's alright..." Kuan tried to assure him and gave him a few pats on the shoulder. "I'll try and help as much as I can, alright? You're gonna be okay." He paused for a moment before his expression lit up. "Have you eaten anything yet? Highly doubt there's anything edible in that dungeon." Before the dragon could ask anything, he stood up. "I'll go tell them to make you something to eat. Any specific requests?"

"At this point, I'll eat anything. Already ate plenty of monster meat as it is."

"Right, right. Be right back." With that, Kuan left the room, meeting with Captain Winters at the door, shaking his head. "Well, this is strange."

"You said that this was him." The captain reminded as he crossed his powerful arms over his thick chest.

"I said it was a possibility and that I can't be sure of anything unless I'm back in my lab in the capital." Kuan let out an irritated huff before speaking again. "Now if you'll excuse me, I promised our guest a nice, hot meal, and I'd appreciate it if you and your men don't bother him." The eagle garuda walked away.

With nothing more to look for on the Demon Lord's Isle, the ship undocked and began sailing back home, which meant a few days at see from their to the capital. Which meant plenty of time for Kuan and Orithmorn, a name picked out by the eagle himself for the dragon, to get to know each other better.

Upon first look, one would see nothing but a muscleheaded, dragonoid, himbo, but he quickly proved them wrong by showing ample levels of intelligence, not as smart as Kuan himself, but enough to shut those judgemental people up. He was also a great help around the ship, able to carry objects that would usually require two or three men to carry, all alone, he also had time to train with Kuan in magic, easily and quickly learning plenty of elemental spells from the garuda.

Kuan also took the time to teach Orithmorn, or Ori as he decided to call him, to teach him about the world of Pandora. The place where they are going now is Kadmus, the capital of the Auramor Republic, a place of great scientific advancement, and the home of the Academy of Research, where Kuan works. He also told him about the Adventurer's guilds, the various classes, as well as the dungeons where exceptionally powerful monsters make there home and is also where awesome and powerful loot is found.

In other words, it was an eventful few days for both Ori and Kuan, but things became a bit interesting on the dawn of their arrival to the capital. Kuan woke up earlier than he's used to for some reason, flipping and turning in his bed proved that he won't be going back to sleep today, so he got up and decided to start his day pretty early today, wearing just a tank top and some sweatpants, he got out of the room to freshen up, then headed up to the deck to watch the rolling waves, only for him to find Ori all alone on deck... practicing martial arts in nothing but some shorts.

Even from a distance, he knew that the dragon was up for quite a while, if the sweat spraying with each movement was any indication, Kuan watched in awe at the fluid, sharp, and powerful strikes at the air, even with the very faint light of the deck's lamps, his body was glistening beautifully. Kuan gulped back some drool that threatened to trickle out of his mouth, witnessing the magnificent and handsome specimen in front of him.

Unfortunately, he was woken up from his trance. "Oh, hey Professor!" Ori greeted him as he walked up to the garuda, body visibly steaming in the cool, early morning. "Woke up very early today and couldn't get back to sleep. I'm guessing you were met with the same problem?"

"Uh, yeah, yeah! I don't usually wake up this early, but I guess it's one of those days. Didn't know you practiced martial arts, though." Kuan couldn't help himself as he let his eyes drift over the dragonoid's sweating and steaming body.

"I didn't either! Most of what I did just now was... muscle memory, is it called?" Ori flexed both his arms and relaxed them. "I have no actual memory of where nor from who I learned all of that from, but it's almost as if it was carved into my body." He then looked up at the garuda, his eyes drifting over the researcher's body, taking in every muscle as well as the mystic markings under his pecs, around his biceps, and down his sides. "You're not bad looking yourself, for a Mage, that is. You did any martial arts growing up?"

"My father wanted me and my brothers to be great fighters like him and, eventually, going the army. Unfortunately for him, we all failed him in the final regard, what with me going to become a researcher and a Mage, while one brother became an adventurer, and the other an alchemist... and quite the freeloader at my place." He took another look down... before quickly turning his head away and putting up his hand like a wall over his fiercely blushing face. "Oh, dear! You, um... a-are you wearing underwear, by any chance?"

"Nah, the boys were feeling a bit stuffy, so I tossed the undies away, they were pretty tight anyways. Why?" Ori looked down as well... and with his own fierce blush, pulled down the leg of his shorts to cover the prominent helmet head of his cock that was very visibly peaking out. "Oh boy, really sorry you had to see that."

"I-It's fine, r-r-really. Nothing I haven't seen before, hehe..." He tried to laugh it off, but the size of the head alone was pretty impressive, how he didn't notice it when they first met was beyond him. "Oh, right! We'll be arriving at Kadmus today, so we better go ahead and get prepared, yeah?"

"Oh! Right! Thanks for reminding." He gave the garuda a tap on his shoulder. "I'll grab a shower before everyone wakes up. Won't get the chance to do so when that happens." Then jogged inside.

Kuan let out a breath he didn't know he was holding until now, once his heart stopped beating so hard, he made his way back to his room, but just as his hand grabbed the handle, he stopped... then rested his forehead on the door. "Goddammit..." He growled to himself as he released the door and headed to the bathrooms, arriving just in time to see Ori still in the process of taking his pants.

"Maybe I should have worn some underwear..." Ori mused to himself as he held up the slightly sweat-stained shorts, then tossed them aside. He waited for the showerhead water to heat up to the perfect temperature for him before stepping inside, not bothering to pull the stall's curtains closed as he figured no one will be up this early and the professor will be busy with packing. Once he began soaping up, he let his hands slowly trail over every inch of his body that he could reach, making sure to get every place that he can, claws practically tracing every muscle in his body, which to someone from the outside would look a bit too sexual for a normal shower.

Kuan managed to find a nice place to hide and watched, the feelings of self-loathing for having to resort to such voyeuristic perversion were swooped clean away by his horniness, his eyes taking in the wet form of Orithmorn from head to toe, then his eyes fell on it... that gloriously delicious-looking phallus of the dragonoids. Just as he suspected, even when soft it had to be about nine long and approximately five or six wide, he had to wipe the drool that dripped down the side of his beak with one hand, while the other was busy groping at the growth in his pants. "Oh, Ori... you magnificent specimen, you..." His words came out breathily, his entire body heating up as he watched.

As Orithmorn began washing his cock, he couldn't help but give it a few extra tugs... which made him realize something important. "I haven't jerked off in a while, have I?" He continued stroking his cock, first with one hand while the other got busy rolling and groping at his balls before that hand moved up to grope at his pecs and tease his hardened nipple. "Mmff... fuck... this feels too good..."

Kuan watched in awe as that cock grew to its full size, he can't be sure from the distance, but he's pretty sure it was about 15 or 16 long with a fat head and those hefty balls stirred a hunger in him like no other. His hand moving on its own, he pulled out his cock and began jerking himself in sync with Orithmorn's own movements. "Fuck... I so want that inside me..." He could feel his body almost reaching a boiling point, his face and skin flush with heat from the visual stimulation in front of him.

Ori meanwhile was busy with his own pleasure, growling and grunting as his body began giving the telltale signs. "Oh, shit... not now..." But he couldn't stop himself as he grabbed his shaft tighter while his other hand went back down to his balls, jerking himself hard, faster, while tugging at his sac. "Fuck... FUCK!" He growled loudly as he felt this huge orgasm strike his body like thunder, his entire body tensing as he sprayed- not shot- sprayed the wall of the shower with an abnormal amount of cum like a fire hose, even by a dragonoid's standards. *Splrrgg... Spprrtt... Splsshhh...*

Kuan watched it all happen from his hiding place, eyes wide in awe and burning desire as he watch all of that thick-looking cum spraying the walls of the shower stall, with a small grunt and moan, he released his own load all over the floor between his legs, impressive as well, but nothing compared to what Orithmorn was producing which looked like gallons even from here. Both of them stood in their respective places, panting for breath as they finally felt their bodies coming down from their orgasm high, once properly composed, Kuan used some magic to 'get rid of the evidence' of his presence there, before quickly- but quietly, making his way back to his room, once inside he let out a deep sigh of shame, rubbing the side of his head. "What am I doing...? And there I was mentally berating my brother for being a vulgar perv..." Thinking about it too long will only cause headaches, so he figured he should just start packing as he initially intended before they docked.

A few hours later, everyone was awake and the ship was buzzing with activity as they finally entered Republic waters, the capital finally within sight in the distance. "Whoa... the city looks huge, even from here!" Orithmorn mused loudly to himself as he leaned on the ship's railings, watching as they drifted closer and closer to the port.

"Yep. Biggest city in all of the Republic, as well as it's crown jewel." Captain Winters explained as he stood beside the dragonoid. "Almost everyone one could want and/or dream of can be found here."

"And that's exactly the place we want to be if we are hoping to find any answers for you." Kuan added as he walked up to them, standing closer to Ori as he leaned with one arm on the railing. "I did promise to help you out, didn't I? And I'm a bird of my word, if nothing else."

"I know." Ori assured as he wrapped one arm around Kuan's neck. "Never doubted you for a second, Prof."

"J-Just Kuan is fine. No need for formalities." The eagle garuda had a light and brief blush coloring his pure-white face, luckily for him it probably went unnoticed
