#3 of The Grandmaster of Sarthas


Half the unit showed up about the time the spar began. The rest were on their way as the rumbling earth and heavy gouts of fire spoke of a mage dual in the training circle. What they saw when they arrived was something generally only seen on the eastern continent. Two dragon trained combatants clashing in the ring. Explosions of sparks, cinders, pebbles and debris occurred often as the two faced off, seeming to be an equal match to the casual passerby. Those who knew of battle could see the sublet hints of who was wining within the bounds of the rules. Bomani watched the spectacle with mild interest. To him the victor was already chosen. Bianca was cheering for Chiko of course. Anything to put the wolf in his place as these two elemental titans continued their epic struggle. When the dust cleared, both combatants stood in their original stances, breathing heavily. They faced each other and bowed respectfully to each other, then turned away and collapsed. The wolf to his knees, the bird simply lost all strength; crumpling to the ground like a ragdoll. Bomani was to Chiko in a blink, Nadia was likewise to the wolf as Bianca smiled proudly at the two combatants. Bomani examined Chiko closely, and there were no serious injuries, simple bruises and bumps attributed to a good fight. She was also exhausted. "You!" The tiger called out to some nearby applauding audience member. "Get a stretcher and some more troops, I want her moved to the estate infirmary immediately." He ordered. The so ordered fox snapped to attention and grabbed a couple of other strong looking individuals as the ran behind one of the bleachers to begin assembling the stretcher. As the tiger finished up a chilling cry went up from Nadia. "He's hurt Bomani!" she wailed. The tiger was to the heavily panting wolf to examine him in a blink. He saw mostly the same story with the wolf, exhausted and battered, but nothing fatal. The injuries appeared to be two bleeding wounds on his back. "These are not puncture wounds...they are also not a product of the spar. There are growths trying to erupt from the skin, this bleeding is superficial. But makes them look far more serious than they actually are. Considering my studies of draconic and avian physiology, I would diagnose that this wolf is growing wings." He said confusedly. Bianca walked up behind him. "He is growing what now?" "Wings." The tiger said after a second closer examination. "Would someone care to tell me why my back is so interesting to look at?" Asked Ceberune. "Has your back been itchy and/or sore lately?" Bomani asked as he applied pressure to stop the bleeding. The wolf's hackles rose as the touch of the tiger was obviously causing him some discomfort. "Yes." He said unhelpfully. "Then hold still wolf. Just need to stop your bleeding here." He said. "Um...Bomani, he is becoming aroused..." Nadia mentioned. Bomani chuckled. "Of course he is, I will explain it to you once we have these two back in the infirmary." He said, throwing the wolf over his shoulder. "You know...I should be used to this as often as I got hurt in school...but would it kill you to let me walk on occasion." Ceberune complained. "No it would not kill me, but considering how exhausted you are, it might kill you. Now hush up and enjoy the ride." The tiger said. Bianca smirking the entire way. Nadia followed along worriedly. Chiko was being carried next to them on the stretcher as they got to the infirmary.

Chiko was smiling as she was laid down on the bed next to the wolf. "You are not allowed to smile Chiko-san." The wolf said petulantly beside her. Once the door was closed Bomani chuckled. "Now...as for the little side effect. Nadia, I am not sure how much you were taught in your school about avian physiology, but their wings are one huge erogenous zone. Give any set of wings a scritch in the right place, and you may as well be mating them, breeding them if you find lots of good spots." He said. Chiko giggled from the bed, her eyes still closed. "Stop giving away all of our secrets Bomani-san." She teased, in revenge he gave her left wing a playful scritch causing her the chirp in pleasure. "Now hush Chiko-san, or you get more of the same." Bianca chuckled. "You really need to come up with actual penalties Bomani." The bunny teased him. The wolf grumbled. "Wings? Seriously? Like I do not already have a bigger than normal profile..." he grumbled. Nadia looked at Bomani confused. "Is he complaining about growing wings? I would give my life to be able to fly on my own..." she commented. Ceb continued to grumble as Chiko answered. "Nadia-san, You must realize that the wings he grows now may be fully flight capable, or be little more than the nubs which currently are pushing out of his back. While they are growing, they will be vulnerable to damage and an easy target for an enemy or just as easily a female looking to rile the wolf's considerable libido up. He will have to learn to move and fight with the added weight and bulk of them should they grow full span. Further more, depending on if they are feathered or just membrane, they will require a great deal of upkeep. It is one reason why the Pheonix do not tend to be very private in the East, because our wings must be constantly preened. Dragon membrane wings require oiling daily at least. Dry patches and dead or damaged feathers itch and eventually result in wing damage." Nadia still looked incredulous. "But...FLYING!" she said. Bomani chuckled. "Imagine...if you would indulge me Nadia...having that wolf's tongue lapping at your sex, non-stop, and with no way to control him. Remember what I mentioned about erogenous zones on wings? Now think of his wings as a giant pleasure button and imagine how much stimulation he would get just from a moments gliding through the air..." Chiko smirked. "If they are feathered it will be even worse. Not only is the wing itself sensitive, but the feathers also have feeling. It takes years to build up any kind of resistance to the sensations, and as Ceberune-sama is getting a brand new set, they are going to be demanding a great deal of attention..." Nadia suddenly began smiling, as did Bianca. Ceberune grumbled and stretched a bit as Bomani applied some bandages to the protrusions. When he had finished he turned to see three females with smiles and evil glints in their eyes. "No touching the wolf's wings until I give the go ahead. They need time to grow naturally and too much attention from horny females will damage or stunt their growth." The wolf grumbled. "Now I understand why sensei made me work all of my back muscles..." The wolf continued to grumble. Bomani chuckled. "Hush wolf and get some rest...or tell us what the message from the East contained. Either works, though I do not think that the little princess will be happy with your resting before you tell us..." he said before he heard the snoring from the wolf. Bomani smirked as he could hear the rabbit royal growl threateningly next to him. "Let me hurt him Bomani...just a little..." she pleaded in frustration. "No hurting the wolf until he has had some rest Bianca." The tiger decreed. "I will have to kill you Ceberune..." Bianca said softly to the sleeping wolf. Nadia giggled as Bianca stormed out of the room. "Do you think she was serious?" Nadia asked Bomani. "Of course she was. She has to kill anyone who intentionally with holds information from her. She is the penultimate gossip of our little group." He said. An arc of electricity struck the tiger making him yowl in surprise. "I heard that cat." Said Bainca from the hallway. Bomani chuckled. "Hell hath no fury compared to a gossip scorned," he whispered to Nadia. The fox chuckled.
