The Dream That Turned Real - Ridin' Solo
Part Three: Enter The Dragon
This part introduces a few new characters, and if you've read the last two parts, like the good reader you are, you will know why you haven't seen the other characters for awhile. There is talk of them, but you won't see them until later on in this part.
===========================
I woke up the next day, feeling cold and sticky. I felt around, feeling my nest surrounding me, not Ryan's insides.
"Ryan?" i muttered.
Opening my eyes, i saw a dragon standing over me, crimson red, with a lighter shade on his underside, staring at me, face to... face.
'Oh boy. This ain't good.' i thought, daring a peek downwards, expecting to see his junk out. Thankfully, it wasn't, but i kept my guard up, as the dragon, standing at eight foot one, put a single claw to my chin,
tilting my head to meet his. My eyes went wide as i saw his jaws open, smelling of what would be a dragon's version of morning breath, ignoring it as he started to speak.
"Not to worry, little one. I wouldn't dare think of doing that to you, as i know of how fragile humans are." he said in a gentle tone.
"What'd you do with my mate?"
"Your mate? You have one?"
"Yeah, six foot eleven werewolf, goes by the name of Ryan DuBon."
"Oh, Ryan?" he said. "You're mated to him?"
"Y-yeah, what of it?"
"Him and i were Five-Stars at the local bar here. We were super close until he got kicked out, 'cause he always was the first one to serve the customer. Badly. How is he?"
I told the dragon the timeline of events, starting with how we met, ending at last night.
"Oh, my. I know Kraig's somewhat of a prankster when his 'other' side comes out, but he should not have done that." he said, sitting next to me.
"Ugh, what am i covered in?" i asked, indirectly at the dragon.
"It would seem that he came on you in your sleep. Lemme try it out." he said, touching a claw to my skin, swirling it around before pulling it away and licking his claw.
"This is the pre-seed he uses when someone requests to sleep in his gut. Combined with his normal seed, meaning he did indeed digest you, but he sent you, in liquid form, into his testes to become his seed, reforming you in there, then masturbated until you came out of him, then urinated on you to mark you as his before he left."
Ryan turned me into cum, reformed me, and shot me out of him? While i was asleep?
'Ryan, you were supposed to shit me out, and wake me when you did so!'
I then remembered that he was still saving his shit for Dan.
"You must be lonely without him. I will take you as my own until he returns, okay?"
"Okay, and i never got your name."
"It's Rokar."
"Nice."
"So, you've been keeping Ryan out of trouble?"
"Pretty much, until i hit him. But it was on accident, and..." i paused, feeling the tears coming.
Rokar must have noticed it and scooped me into his arms, cradling me.
"It'll be okay."
"He's my only mate, i'm his, and these bite marks prove it."
I pointed to the marks he left in his Feral form, the dragon stared hard at them.
"Yes, it would seem that you two are bonded for life, not that you don't mind, having picked a creature as... attractive, as him."
"Ummm..." i said. "Does this mean, if he dies, i go with him? Please tell me it doesn't work that way."
"I think that only works for 'Wolf-Weres'. Notice i switched those words around."
"Yeah, werewolf is human turned wolf; wolfwere is wolf turned human."
"Very good, you are."
"Does everyone talk like that here? Like Yoda from Star Wars?" i asked.
"Not everyone. It's like... a coarse medevial language, but if that's a simpler way to say that, then the answer you'd be looking for would be 'Almost'."
"Did you try Linking with Ryan? Y'know, Mindlink?"
"I'm afraid that only works between canids. Other species might have the same abilities, and are sometimes able to cross-link with other species, we dragons... it comes up randomly within families, i was hatched without the ability."
"Sad."
"Yes, but i've managed without it."
Rokar then brought me into a hug that lasted a while, before i felt him touch me in an uncomfortable place.
"Dude, you're-"
"Oops, sorry." he said, breaking the hug and putting some distance between us.
"So, what do you want to do until Ryan comes back?" he asked.
"I don't think he's coming back. He must still be reeling from when i hit him."
"Don't worry, you're not gonna lose him. If you want, i can tell you things about him from his five-star days, so you will understand him better. But you must promise me not to tell him i told you this."
"I might let it slip if he digs into my weak spots, so, i don't think you should tell me."
"I understand, it's okay, maybe some other time." he said. "Could i see what your wolf form looks like?"
"I... lost my abilities, twice, so, i can't."
"Well, just from looking at you, i can tell you've mated with Ryan more than once, and most recently, slept in his belly."
"Rokar?" i asked.
"Yes?" he looked at me with those fire-orange eyes of his.
"Could you... A-accompany me? I wanna go over to the bar, and see what Dan's done since i smacked him and the fox."
"I just came from there, well, flew around the bar, and i was barely able to make out Dan saying something along the lines of, 'I don't wanna work with wolves anymore.'."
Oh, crap. I just caused Dan to close the bar to werewolves. The entire forest is going to be pissed, at me, just for this.
"Aw, man, i am hating myself for this right now!" i said, clutching the dragon's sides, pressing my face into
his chest, like i had done to Ryan before.
"Don't fret, i said 'along the lines'. That means i wasn't fully sure if he said that or not. If it makes you feel better, i will accompany you to the bar so you can see for yourself. If there's any trouble, i will stand up for you. Dan knows me, so he should at least be nice to us. I know Kraig would."
====================================
A few minutes later, we were at the Ye Olde Yiffe Inn, to see if what Rokar said was true. Thankfully, it wasn't. But then Dee came out, spotting us.
"Mike, what are you doing here?"
"Even though i'm human right now, i'm still your master; therefore, you still have to do as i say, Dean."
While not a Were, i was still fast enough to duck just in time for Dee to swing at me, whooshing right over my head, as Rokar grabbed his arm, and pushed it back at him, forcing the camel to the wall with his arm behind his back.
"Listen, dirtbag, you strike your master like that, he will beat the crap out of you, and you'll regret going against him, because now, you'll have to deal with two Wolves and a seriously pissed off dragon if you ever do that again, GOT IT?" Rokar said, twisting Dee's arm a little more.
"Okay! I'm sorry, Master!!" the camel shouted. "I'll be good to you, just don't sic Rokar or Ryan on me, you can punish me yourself!"
"That's better. Rokar, you can let him go now, i think he's learned his lesson."
Rokar immediately dropped the camel in one swift move, then backed off to lean his back on a tree behind us.
"Alright, Dee, tell me what you know."
"About what?"
"Is Dan prohibiting Wolves from coming into the bar?"
"..."
"Is he?" i said, taking a few steps foward, pressing him against the wall. "If i see you piss yourself right now, you're drinkin' it. Now, is Dan letting Wolves into the bar?"
"Y-yeah, he never said anything to me about it. But i heard him say 'Bygones' to that, i asked him, i did!"
"Okay, but you better double-check on that." i said.
"Actually, i'll go. Dan'll think something's up if he sees him like that." Rokar said.
"Good idea." Dee said.
"You're lucky i'm not mean, Dee. Otherwise, i would beat you black and blue. And i know you don't want that."
"No, i don't wan't that. Anything, but that. You have my loyalty, Master."
========================================
Rokar entered the bar, looking around, hearing music coming lightly from the onstage speakers. He spotted Dan at his usual spot, behind the counter.
"Welcome to 'ye olde yiffe inne'. What can i get for you?" the dingo said, glumly, looking at a magazine that read 'Hot Furs: Down Under Edition' on the front with an image of a croc in the outback in a tight Indiana
Jones outfit, a cigarette in his mouth, arms crossed with his whip in his right hand, his hat in just the right angle.
"Hi, Dan." Rokar said, his soft voice snapping Dan out of his sour mood. "You okay?"
"Rokar! Lemme guess, came back to use me like a toilet?"
"No, no. I'm the nice one, remember?"
"Oh, okay, now i do. How's life treatin' ya?"
"It's been good to me, um... I... kinda brought someone with me. It's a human."
Dan's eyes snapped open. "Human? Oh crap, Mike's come back to smack me up again!"
"I heard what he had to say, and he was just as traumatised as you are. That's why he ran off. He didn't want to harm you, Kraig, or Ryan any further, so he went back to his own house, and... Put himself in time-out to punish himself for hitting y'all."
"So, ya sayin' he hit us, freaked out, and punished himself."
"He said that Kraig jumped in front of him, and that's why he hit Kraig; He startled mike. And he also said that you called him an 'asshole'. He called it his 'Trigger Word', like a password to the Pandora's Box that contains his rage and fury."
"That was long-winded. So that means he came back to apologize?"
"Wasn't exactly his plan, he was gonna see if you put up any new rules recently, concerning Ryan's kind."
"Now why would i do that?"
"I was flying around and i decided to stop here to rest my wings, when i heard you say something about not working with wolves anymore."
"I was talkin' to the camel about... Well, okay, maybe i said that, but that doesn't mean i'm gonna stop serving werewolves."
"Then what were you talking about?"
Dan shared his side of the story with the dragon, who was listening and comparing my story with his.
================
Outside...
================
I was breathing hard as i blew my load into the camel's mouth, his thick lips wrapped tight around my length, sucking it all down with all the energy he had, all while he wore his 'blackout' tinted shades, the type that you can see out of, but no-one can see where your eyes are.
"I'll have to compare you with Ryan, but for now, that was a mind-blower, you got the techniques, skills, and experience. in all, not bad." i said as i zipped up, patting the camel on his head.
"Thank you, i will do even better next time." he said as we left the outside bathrooms, spotting Kraig in my periphial vision, to my right.
"Mike?" Kraig said, turning to see us. In my mind, i saw, in a japanese-style anime, Kraig shifting into his other form, charging at us, then from a third person view to my left about fourty feet out, Dee was in between Kraig and i, as he smoothly whipped out a can of pepper spray and tagged Kraig in the face, Kraig screaming and writhing in pain, clawing at his face.
Instead, he just walked up to us and apologized to me for dropping down in front of me the way he did.
Obviously, i accepted, i still wanted us to be friends, after all.
"So, bygones?"
"You know it." i said, shaking his paw.
"Have you heard from Ryan any? Has he come over?"
"No, actually. But i'll let you know if he comes over."
"Cool."
=====================
Back inside...
=====================
Dan and Rokar were now on the topic of when Dan was hanging out with us, when Rokar took notice of the time.
"Oh, i gotta go, Dan. Mike's been waiting."
"S'Cool. Keep in touch?"
"Always."
With that, the dragon left.
==========================
Back outside...
==========================
"So, how'd it go?"
"Better than i expected, he's not changing a thing, and i apologised for you."
"Thanks."
"You and Dee kiss and make up?"
"Why?" Dee asked.
"I see london, i see france..." he said in an uber-gay accent, pointing at the cum-stain on the front of my jeans.
I chuckled.
"I didn't see anything, so i didn't see that either."
"Rokar?"
We turned to see Kraig behind us.
"Oh, hey, Kraig!" Rokar greeted him.
"What's new?"
Rokar and Kraig started chatting with each other, leaving me with Dee.
Perking his ear up, he paused. "I hear something. Like, someone puking an anaconda out. Sounds like it's coming from the Cave." he said.
I followed Dee, walking towards the Cave. We went inside to the pool area, taking a right, down a hall to a door that read 'Private Karaoke Area'.
Dee opened the door for me, as we looked inside, seeing a familiar shape, sitting on a stool on the small stage, as he held a customized 1968 Yamaha FG-75, the only customization was the silver-plated pick guard, in the shape of a stylized wolf's head, the nose pointing towards the neck.
Not wanting to interrupt him, we stayed behind the door, as he strummed a few strings.
"Sounds as new as the day i got it. All this time, and i haven't been able to play it. Now, i have a reason to." he said, before playing the intro to Brad Paisley's 'Somebody Knows You Now'.
For a vintage Yamaha, it did sound like brand new, perhaps had a change of strings from time to time, but every note was as crisp as the new day, as the guitarless karaoke version of the song played, his Yamaha filling in for Paisley's.
You used to say you wanted someone to know you inside out
And as I look back on things well congratulations baby
Somebody knows you now
All of this time you told me you wished that you could figure yourself out
You say you're still a mystery but no not really not to me
Yeah somebody knows you now
I got a hundred bucks that says right now your hair's up in a band
Your socks don't quite match and you're missin' your man
I can finish your thoughts or pick the right restaurants
Even order for you 'fore you sit down
Yeah somebody knows you now
So no matter where your life's path leads
Remember me somehow
And feel a little warm inside knowin' that somewhere tonight
Somebody knows you now
Well baby all your mystery
Like you and me is history
'Cause somebody knows you now
His head low, he sang those last words with full clarity, so rich, like melted choclate for the ears, as the song ended, i stood in the doorway, Dee deciding to hide between the door and the wall, as i applauded.
"Mike!" he said.
"And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on..." i said, playing Mariah Carey's 'Hero'.
"You know a werewolf's love is stronger than the pull of the moon, Ryan. And my love for you is stronger than that." i said, as i started to sing, before Ryan shut the machine off.
"Why'd you do that?" i asked, before he started playing the intro to 'Music Box' on his guitar with the sharpest accuracy possible, never missing a note.
"Oh..." i sang in awe as i started to sing again in a near-flawless version of Michael Jackson's voice back when he recorded the album 'Bad'.
When I am lost
You shine a light for me
And set me free
When I am low
You wash away my tears
And take me through
The loneliness
And emptiness
Through the darkest night
Somehow I survive
Through it all
When you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have I want to give to thee
If I should fall
Your love is strong enough to lift me up
If I'm afraid
You chase away my fears
And take me to
A brighter place
Beyond the rain
And I feel alright
'Cause your by my side
Through it all
And you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have I want to give to thee
(ahhhhh, ahhhhhh)
You take me through
The loneliness and emptiness
And I feel alright
'Cause your by my side
Through it all
You tell me I'm the only one you need
So sweet and tenderly
And your love
Just breaks away the clouds surrounding me
And baby all I have I want to give to thee
(Ryan): "Want to give you all of my love
Now and forever my love"
All I have I want to give to thee
(song ends)
"That was epic, simply epic, how you sang. My love for you is stronger than the sun that burns brightly. I love you, Michael." Ryan said, pulling me into a hug, feeling his fur on my arms and face as i hugged back.
*Click*
Dee was standing in the doorway in human form, camera in hand to capture this moment, that Ryan and i made up, through song.
"Thanks, Dean." i said.
"Anytime." he said, pressing the review button and showing us the picture.
"Wait a minute, isn't this my camera?" i asked.
"No, that one got destroyed, remember? I bought a new one for you, same exact camera, just for you, just a different color."
I hugged Dee as a way to say thank you a million times over.
"You're welcome, and thank you for letting me be your servant."
"You're more than a servant. You're our friend, and i'm glad you survived the explosion."
Ryan, using all of his strength, picked us up in a loose bear-hug, nuzzling us.
"And i'm glad we're back together, all of us." Ryan said, putting Dee and i down.
With that, we exited The Den, and into the bar.
"Hey, Dan." i said.
"Hey, Mike. Can i getchya anything?" Dan said. "Just by looks, i can tell you don't drink alcohol, so how's about a Pepsi, or a Dr. Pepper? I got others if you want."
I pondered. "You got Sprite?"
"Yep." he said, filling a mug. "On the house, just for you."
"Oh, thanks, buddy." i said, patting him on the head before drinking.
"Awrrr..." Dan said as a response to my patting him.
"Wow, Dan, you've changed." Ryan said.
"Oh, you noticed. Well..."
Dan started sharing his story with us, starting at after i knocked him upside the head.
"...So, after all that, i'm a new fur now."
"Nice, very good." Ryan said.
"So, that means the bet's off?" Dee asked cautiously.
"Well, sorta." Dan and Ryan said at the same time.
"What do you mean?" i asked.
"Well, the bet's still on, but we've changed the rules. First off, no-one's dumping anyone in a giant turd, that is, unless the opponents are fully consenting; Second, we're not gonna make a pile to toss the loser in, instead, we're gonna try to make.... probably the world's biggest pile of dung, and anyone can help; Third, there are no losers or winners, everyone's on the same team."
"So, you're freestyling the rules?"
"I'm bending them, so that way it's all fair across the board. The rules of the bet will still apply, but in better terms."
I was confused. "Run the rules by me again?"
This time, he gave me a full decription of the rules, calling them 'Objectives' this time.
Just then Rokar came in and sat with us.
"So, everyone change thier status to 'Ally'?"
"Yep."
"Awesome-Possum."
"Oh, and WolfWerks called, your car's ready for pickup." Dan notified me.
"Awesome! When do we go?"
"Now, if you want."
"Alright, let's mount-up, then." i said after a few seconds.
"Um, only thing... When you tossed Ryan into the bikes, he landed on mine first, and broke the front-end, and my other bike got trashed."
"I saw my Interceptor got demolished. Now, i'm not gonna accuse you of doing it, i'm just asking if that was you."
"Yeah, i got rather out-of-hand that night, and torched it. But, to make it up to you, i sent the frame to WolfWerks for them to restore it to it's former condition."
"How? Their van got wasted."
"Let's just say i got a certain Cano-Sapien to carry it, in exchange for something."
"You made Hunter carry it all the way there?"
"He didn't seem to mind, it was the least he could do for you."
"As long as he was okay with it. And the 'something'?"
"We're still gonna have the, uh, orgy, but i invited the Rovers. We're gonna start a 'fuck-train'."
"Furs all over the land, stick it in, start a love train, love train." Kraig sang, joining us.
"Okay... Akward." i said.
"Once you get hard and horny, you'll get into it. Ryan and the other five-stars had one whenever i recruited new furs, the rookie in the middle." Dan informed me. "Oh, i also invited a huge Titanoboa to the party, we'll be sleepin' in him after we're totally wasted from the sex."
"A 'Titano-boa'?" i asked.
"He's a huge fugger, fourty-eight feet of warmth, and don't get me started on his pecker." he said.
"I don't think he'll fit in my house." Ryan said.
"Don't worry, i've been in your house, we can line up to go in him, and he can go straight through the house."
"Yeah, but i don't want anything to get broken. Let's have him in the backyard, and kinda use him as a giant slide."
"Oh, you're mean." Dan said, chuckling. "But, no, we have the sex train in the backyard.... then once we're totally wasted from the after glow, i'll have him come up and swallow all of us down while we're still tied, and we'll sleep in him, then the next morning, he'll Link with us, ask us how we want to come out, 'cause we'll have slid into his lower end by then, either out of his ass or one of his hemipenes, or he'll regurgitate you. He's part hagfish, though, but only the slime-maker part, so it'll add to the fun."
Ryan murred at the thought of entering a slime-laden snake and sleeping in it for the night, shuddering in delight. "Oh-ho-ho yeah...." he said, before we smelled something like a wet dog.
Ryan literally pissed himself, he was so excited.
"Clean up at the counter area." Dan said.
"I'm on it!" Dee said getting on all fours and licking the piss from Ryan's crotch.
"Whow, Dean, you sure are sick-ski." we heard Exile say as he came in. "What happened?"
"Wolfie wet himself after i told him we were gonna do something exciting." Dan replied.
"Like what?" Exile said, scratching his head.
"Getting 'eaten' by a giant snake and sleeping in it." Right after Dan said that, we saw a wet spot grow on Exile's jeans. I stifled a small laugh, seeing the same thing happen to the Rover, who started to blush.
"What just happened? Dan tells them of the action to come, and they wet themselves as if on command." Rokar asked.
"Because the feeling is unimaginable." Dan then turned to me. "If you thought going through Horscht was a rush, going through a giant snake whose hagfish-like slime-making mechanisms are on the inside is gonna make you never wanna get out of him."
"Let me guess. It doesn't end well, does it? You die in there?"
"No, not at all, 'cause that snake's gonna pass you one way or the other. Personally, i like coming out of his pecker."
"And just what is this snake's name?" i asked.
"Obviously not Thor, that name belongs on a horse. I can barely remember his name, but for now we'll call him 'Blizzerd'."
"Where's Blitz and Hunter?" i asked Exile as i looked at Dee, having finished Ryan and starting on the husky.
(Exile's thought balloon shows Blitz and Hunter screwing, Hunter on the bottom on his back, Blitz sitting behind him as he just tied with the retriever, a straw in his mouth, showing he's drinking a peppermint milkshake.)
"Uh... they're at Ryan's, playing Spinner game." he said.
"I think you mean Twister. And i don't have that game." Ryan replied.
"I'm guessing they got intimate with each other?" Kraig asked.
"Hunter and Weird-Boy wanted to spend time together, so i came here."
"So, you're sharing each other?"
"You could say that."
We smiled. Exile blushed.
"Wow, what time-- Oh, crap, not again!" Ryan said, almost in a panic.
"HIT THE DECK!" Dan shouted, nobody wasting a second as we ducked behind the counter, fearing Ryan would go Feral and lose control of himself.
Behind the counter, we heard Ryan laughing, hard. We resurfaced to see why he was laughing.
"You guys fell for it! I mean, come on! The moon's not even full tonight, and you guys run for cover while i was faking it!"
This pissed Exile off so hard, his eyes glowed red as he growled low in his throat, like he was warming up to zap Ryan with his heat vision.
"I have permission to teach your mate lesson, yes?"
"Go right ahead, Exile. I think Ryan would need it, after what he just did."
"Don't burn my floors, okay?" Dan requested. "I just waxed them."
"Not to worry, i will use low power. Just enough to give Ryan teeny bee-sting." Exile said before he unloaded on Ryan, aiming right for the base of his tail, making him jump, yelping in surprise.
"OW!" he growled fiercely. "What the FUCK was that for?"
"For scaring your mate with fake Feral transformation. I think Mike knocked you hard enough you don't remember time you went Feral and almost killed him."
"Sorry, Mike. I actually did forget. I won't do that to you ever again. Sometimes i do that kind of stuff to keep everyone on thier toes. I'm gonna go home now, Mike. You probably don't want to see me cry." he said as he turned to leave.
"Ryan, you've seen me cry, but it was out of fear of losing you. You don't have to leave, otherwise, we'll have a repeat of when we met, and this time, i won't have anything to peel out on."
Ryan turned back to me, a slight smile on his face. "Really?"
Finding a microphone under the counter, i started to sing the hook from Bruno Mars' 'Grenade', again, in Michael Jackson's voice.
"'Cause i'd catch a grenade for ya,
Throw my hand on a blade for ya,
Jump in front of a train for ya,
You know i'd do anything for ya....
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, i would die for ya, baby,
But you won't do the same."
The others applauded as i finished, including Ryan.
"It would seem that music is the true way to a beast's heart. And you know just how to use it, Mike." Ryan said
as i came up to hug him. I then remembered he peed himself, and stepped back.
"Why?" he asked. I Just pointed to his stained pants. "Oh."
"No hug-ski for me either?"
I nodded and shrugged.
"No problem, i will clean myself first, then you can hug me."
"Sooo... what now?" Rokar asked, confused.
"Uh... I-D-K-W-T-F we're doin'." Ryan said.
"L.O.L..." Exile said.
"Pool... Cards... Karaoke... Take your pick, unless you guys wanna go over to Ryan's and play Halo. I brought over a couple of three sixties, they were still in the boxes, with the controllers." Dan said.
"They better not be hot." Ryan said.
"No worries, they're legit, i got'em online, two for one deal. If anyone asks, i just got'em so Kraig and i don't have to do split-screen."
"Plus, you can have the screens back-to-back so neither one looks to see where the other is."
"True, i think that would be cheating if you knew where the enemy was hiding all the time."
=========================================
...Not exactly a cliffhanger, just resumes in the next part.
