#3 of Exploration


Despite the almost magical healing of my bones by Arachno's treatment, I still felt old and worn for a few days, a opinion shared with my boss at work. She said I should try and get some more sleep. I nodded weakly when she suggested this, although she would never guess the truth of it all. She would have committed me to a lunatic asylum if I had tried to tell her a tenth of what had happened.

Draco visited me on Monday, and we talked about the latest adventure. He also mentioned that once we were prepared, there was a planet to explore.This planet was mostly plains and grassland, few hills, bit of water, and no large forests. A space cruiser had done a scan of the planet a few weeks ago, and shown it to be fairly usual. The atmosphere was much like the earth's, and the gravity was about 1 and one tenth Earth, so we would feel slightly heavier. I liked the sound of it.

So, come next Saturday, I was woken at six in the morning by my beeper. It had gone off, announcing that Draco and Simba were on their way. I grabbed my kit together, and prepared for their arrival. I was keeping the rifle, ditched the machete as too cumbersome for a grassland planet. Instead I took my Swiss army knife. The climate of the planet was like Nelson, warm, mostly sunny, and only occasionally unbearably hot, so I applied sunscreen, and though I wore my usual long black trousers, I was wearing a short "Team Ireland" shirt I had purchased from the A1 GP, and wide brimmed hat. A pair of darkened black glasses completed the image, and I was ready. My lunch was pre made, and my water bottles were topped up.

I was reading yet another book, this one on a POW camp in World War Two when they appeared. I barely looked up.

"You're a group for the early start." I commented.

"Central early was one earth hour ago." Simba shot back, a smile creeping onto his face. Draco was beaming.

"All ready?"

"As always." I nodded at my bag. I picked up my bag and rifle, and went over. Draco, as usual, grasped my wrist with his iron clad grip. Then Simba pressed the button.

I will never, ever, ever get used to teleportation. It's like having an itch you can't scratch, it is so uncomfortable, and it is felt all over the body at the same time. I had my eyes closed, merely because looking around during the teleport gives many people a nauseous feeling. After five minutes we seemed to slam onto the surface of the planet, although we landed as gently as usual. Simba, ever the recorder, looked around, and then started speaking into a mike connected to his shirt. He kept a voice recorder in there.

"Explorers, myself, Draco, and Alduin. Planet, unnamed. Atmosphere, O² atmosphere, with reasonable amounts of CO². Sky is blue, in fact most of the world seemed like Earth. Landscape is mostly bare, clusters of trees dot the landscape. Long grass, a variation of the common grasses, is in abundance, and the specimens range almost up to a metre. Fauna so far is insects, a mosquito like creature to begin with, and a small bird- like creature. Gravity is indeed 1.2 standard."

This was all the facts. The place was bare, the green grass extending in all direction from the slight rise we were on. The mosquitos that buzzed around us were too afraid of my sunscreen to land, and there was a small bird/bat creature that flew overhead. It all seemed very tranquil. Draco drew a scanner like object, one that I had never seen before.

"I got one of these after those tentacles, so we can detect life signs. It's not very good, but it will suffice."

He started running the scanner across the landscape, in every direction, and finally faced one direction.

"There are a bunch of creatures over in this direction, under the cover of that clump of trees. The scanner is picking up about fifty life forms."

"A village?"

"Probably." Draco replied.

We set off down the rise, directly towards the village. The grass was fairly tall, and so we crept through it, keeping down low. Draco was looking through his scanner, and me and Simba kept either side of him. We were like special soldiers or POW's, we were so quiet, and yet, before we got within a hundred yards, Draco whistled.

"Half the life forms are taking off."

Simba spoke into his mike. "Dominant life form appears to be some type of avian creature, capable of flight."

"Where are they going?"

"They're circling in the air, just above the village. It's as though something has scared them." Draco looked at the scanner.

"Well, there's us." I pointed out.

This theory was proved. Draco's scanner went wild, and he shouted.

"They're attacking us!" He gave a draconic roar, met by the feline roar of Simba's. I stood tall, my top half above the grass, and I saw the creatures coming towards us.

They were avian. About two metres in height, their heads were half like that of an eagle's, but were human in shape. They had two feathered arms, but they also had wings two metres in width either side. They were swooping directly at us, and I saw they had human legs, but huge talons on each toe. Light green feathers, obviously to blend in with the environment, covered the creatures.

And this was what was coming at us at a good hundred kilometres an hour. A peregrine falcon in it's steepest dive can keep up with a full speed F1 car, three hundred and fifty kilometres an hour, but while these were not falcons, they were still coming at a hell of a rate. I drew my rifle, aimed, and fired.

The harsh crack of the rifle reverberated across the landscape, and the bullet went zooming over the leader. I reloaded, and fired again, again missing on purpose. I reloaded a third time, and ducked as the leading avian flew past, talons grabbing at thin air. It has to be said I was losing my temper, and I charged across the grass. Draco spotted me on his scanner, and erupted from the turf, and Simba spotted him. I was running directly towards the village. My heart beat about twice normal, praying my plan would work.

I fired a round below the talons of another avian, and then sprinted out of the long grass, looking at the village. The creatures lived in almost thatch like huts, dotted around the trees, and in fact there were also huts in the branches. In the centre of the clearing of trees were a bunch of avians.These were more slimly built, and although they all wore strips of cloth around their waists, I could tell these were the females of the species. Behind them were the children, ranging from barely half a metre high to about a metre.I saw they were all looking terrified. I thought all this as I ran.

I dived into a full action roll as another avian went flying above my head. But already the avians were having trouble. I had cunningly ran into the trees, because the thick branches of the trees would interrupt the flight of the eagle like attackers. I stood up, and slung the rifle over one shoulder, standing not ten metres from the ring of women and children. Draco caught up with me.

"Clever move, human. Do you have a Plan B?"

"No, but then I never had a Plan A." I smiled. Simba caught up.

"They can't attack well in here. Good work, Alduin."

"Thank you. The position was obviously chosen so other flying creatures would have extreme difficulty."

"Now what?"

"I'm getting there. I'm just waiting for one of the males to land."

The one in question didn't land, but I was prepared. His talons grabbed at me, and as he did I jumped up and grabbed the creature.The body was comfortably warm, and the feathers were soft as down. The creature fell from the air, suddenly trying to cope with the weight of both of us. I was flung to the ground, and so was he.

I stood as he did. We looked at one another. I gave a gentle bow. Suddenly I could feel the puzzlement radiating from the creature. I had a translator given to me to suit my own language, and so I could understand him when he spoke.

"Who are you, and why do you invade our lands?" the voice was high pitched, almost like the sound of the greater birds on Earth.

"We are explorers, we mean no harm, unless it is done to us."

Just then another avian dived into me. Cold claws ripped the back of my shirt, and I felt the agonizing pain of my skin being torn. I was thrown forward, but kept my feet. Draco and Simba rushed to me, but I was past rational thought. I drew my rifle, and started firing at the one who had just flown overhead. I was not aiming to kill, and the bullets kept missing, smacking into trees and whistling around him. Apparently the creatures had failed to see me talking to one of them, and were attacking all three of us. The one on the ground shouted in his own language.

"STOP!"

As he did, we could hear the shout echo through the wood. There was the sound of silence, and then of many avians arriving. But as I turned in pain, they were angling to land, not attack. My rifle fell out of my hands, it was a good gesture, and Simba caught me in time before I fell. What ever the avian had done was crippling my system. Draco spoke.

"Thank you. We mean no harm, as Alduin said. We are hear purely to find out about the planets we visit. We come from a long way away.We ran towards the trees so you would stop swooping at us." Draco made no mention that it was in fact my idea. The avian looked at Draco for a few seconds.

"I...see. I am Falcous. I am the...chief ( best translation) of this village. We do not like strangers around here, especially creatures so varied as you three. But I detect the truth in your voice, so we will assist you in your, exploration.What about your friend?"

"What did you do to him?"

"He was scratched, he will need healing. I must apologise for this accident, but he was rushing straight towards our families."

I knew this well enough, and couldn't help feeling extremely stupid. But as this feeling washed over me, I could feel my legs regaining life, and I bent down, picking up the gun and slinging it over my uninjured left shoulder. I still felt weak, but I shrugged off Simba's stable paw, and looked directly at Falcous.

"The idea was mine, for I knew the area was thick with branches. Was this village spot picked for defence?"

Falcous actually nodded, amazed at my supposed wisdom.

"There are many tribes of Avians ( again, this is the closest translation), and not all of them are friendly with one another."

After some more idle talk, we were led into a sort of guest hut, and an Avian was placed as a guard. There were beds, much like nests, and that was about it.I practically fell into one, and took off my shirt. There was three large rents in it.

"Damn, I just bought this." I cursed aloud. Draco took a look at it.

"I shouldn't worry, Alduin.We have methods of repairing such items.What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that I was a bloody fool back there.That was so stupid." I was feeling dejected, but Simba came to my rescue.

"We could never have managed in the open. It was the only way."

"It still hurt." I said, trying to look back over my shoulder at the wound.

"Let's have a look." Simba said.

He came over to me and sat down.

"Ouch." he commented.

"Oh thank you, that's the good news is it?" I said, my very tone acidic. Simba laughed.

"No. The good news is that the claws missed everything important. The bad news is it looked like it hurt, but that's about it."

"It.did." I said, emphasising both words with extra punctuation. Simba drew a bottle from a pocket.

"Now this might hurt,"he said," but it'll do wonders.Trust me."

He trickled a few drops over his hand, and then applied it to the first wound.Owch. I gave a cry of pain.Simba ignored the foul language, and continued rubbing the liquid into the bleeding wound.

Draco was looking at me from his nest.

"That's very bad language for some one who considers himself as a gentle person." he laughed. I saw the funny side, but it still hurt.

"Oh really, next time you get hurt, see how much this, oooowwww!, hurts." I finished with a gasp of in-drawn breath. This went on for a good ten minutes, my back feeling like it was on seven kinds of fire. Then Simba put the bottle of Hell-brew away, and sat back.

"All better now."

I couldn't even manage a reply to this.

After half an hour the pain faded to nothingness, and Simba observed my shoulder.

"Three white lines. Move your arm."

I did as he suggested, and felt no pain.

"There we go.It's a patent medicine from Arachno, made specially for cuts and open wounds. Hurts like anything, works wonders."

I apologised to Simba, now I was feeling much better.He quite understood.

"Right now what?"

"Well, I suggest we find out a bit more about the place."

"After breakfast." Simba added.

Was it only breakfast time? I looked at my watch, and , sure enough, it was still only eight am. Seemed like a month. I had made myself a pasta dish, a recipe my father had drummed into my head many times, and it was wonderful served cold. I drew the container, and sprung out the fork on my Swiss knife. We sat together, eating, and discussing the options we had. Draco looked several times at the pasta.

"What is it, and why does it smell so good?"

I offered him a forkful. He chewed it, and then swallowed.

"You would make a very good husband for someone." he smiled. I laughed.

"Thank you, Draco, except no one on earth knows about my expertise. My dad taught me all I knew.He was a house husband."

"You cook like this, you look like that, what don't you have?"

"A partner."I shot back, laughing harder." I used to be a very bad cook, and still am.It's just I got the hang of making some dishes, like this pasta."

"So that's what you call it." Simba said. He likewise tried a forkful, and immediately agreed with Draco.

We finished eating, and then Simba turned to the Avian standing guard outside our hut.

"So, what's the story?"

"I beg your pardon?"

"What can we do? Can we walk about the village, or are we forbidden to leave?"

"Until Falcous and the Nest decide about you, you cannot leave."

"Nest?"

"A group of us, who make decisions."

"Interesting."Simba activated his mike." The structure of a village of Avians is based around a chief, followed by a group of 'high rank' Avians, or a nest, who make decisions. Will try to find out more about Nest."

He then started asking more questions to the guard, and found the guard to be wilful in giving what he wanted to know. Meanwhile Draco had drawn three small solid balls from one of his pockets, and started juggling with them.I started to wish I had brought something, and then remembered my book. I drew the book from the side pocket, and started reading. We did this for half an hour.Then Draco got bored. He nipped the book out of my grasp.

"Oi!" I shouted, and made a grab for the juggling balls. I got two of them, and then Draco jumped at me. We did a cartwheel as we wrestled, book and juggling balls forgotten.Draco was much stronger than myself, and he kept getting on top, only for me to heave him off. Simba noticed the guard's glances.

"Oh, don't worry, they always do this."

We certainly did.The battle raged for five minutes, before Draco had me pinned. I was laughing and gasping for breath.

"Nope, I lost. I should take jujitsu classes."

"Nice try, Raptormaster."

"If you two love birds would pay attention for a minute, I think Falcous is coming this way." Simba called from the door.

Draco leapt at him for that. Thus Falcous saw Draco and Simba rolling backwards out of the hut, with the guard looking bemused, and me coming out three seconds after them, and coming to Falcous. I bowed.

"What has the Nest decided?"

Falcous looked at the guard, and the guard nodded.Obviously Falcous wanted to know how I knew about the Nest. Meanwhile Draco and Simba were a whirling mass.

"You can go anywhere in this land, but there are three other Avian tribes in this area, so I offer this warning, they might not take too well to foreigners, even less than we did."

"Thank you, sir.Do you mind if we stay in the guest hut to sleep, because we may be here one or two days."

"That can be arranged." Falcous nodded. I bowed again, and drew my rifle."Sorry about this sir, I just need to get their attention."

I looked up, made sure I wouldn't hit anything, and fired a round. Draco and Simba stopped, and looked at me.

"He says it's O.K."

There were a few thank yous passed between the three of us, and then we set out. There was a lake to the East, which apparently was neutral territory, where all Avians could get water. This seemed like a perfect direction to start, and we headed there. After an hour of walking, we came to it. A wide lake, about a kilometre in width, and two in length.It sparkled in the sunlight. Draco looked around with his scanner, me with a pair of Simba's binoculars.

"Three Avians in front." I spotted them," two to the left side of the lake, five to the right, to the South.Which do we head to?"

"The lakes are for all to use." Simba spoke into the mike, and then spoke again,"The twosome should do."

This meant five minutes of walking, and the fording of a small river.This was in fact the boundary line between the Avians we had met, and a new tribe. So after some boulder hopping, we arrived on the other side of the river, and headed towards the duo. They seemed to have spotted us, but weren't taking much notice.

"I do hope they are friendly." I commented to Draco. We stepped onto the stony lake side, and the two turned to us.They looked suspiciously at us.

"You are?"

" Friendly travellers, exploring this land." Draco gave a small bow, which eased the tension slightly.

These Avians didn't mind the ones we were with, and they spoke cordially about things. After an hour of speaking by the lake side, we had learned many things. The Nest was a group of dominant males, led by the chief, as Simba had predicted. All Avians had a Nest, and they made all the decisions on events. Clans would meet one another through their Nests, where one Nest would visit the other.Therefore a Nest had to be friendly, intimidating, welcoming, wise, and diplomatic.

Draco stood up, and said he wanted to take a walk. I myself was feeling a bit stiff, and volunteered to go with him. Simba laughed.

"Now, you two love birds, don't get into any mischief, either with each other, or any Avians." he smiled. I turned to Draco.

"Well?"

"I say we throw him the the lake." Draco replied, his small smile creeping across his scaly complexion. Simba scooted away from the dragon.

"No you don't."

"Then stop being silly."

"I'm not." Simba tried to protest his innocence.We turned and walked away, while Simba turned back to the slightly amused Avians. We went over the ridge, and looked at the rolling terrain.

"Rather monotonous, after a while, don't you think?" I commented, surveying the rolling vistas. Draco nodded.

"Not exactly exciting.I wonder how the Avians eat, or rather what they eat?"

"Rabbits? Small furry creatures? Simba'll find out anyway."

"He's got a point though." Draco said, sitting down, and looking at the expanse of greenery. I sat down as well.

"About what?"

"What we suggested we chuck him in the lake for."

"Oh that." I thought,wondering where this was leading. I had a suspicion where this was going. Draco smiled, and lay back.

"I do actually like you in that way."

Suspicion confirmed. And I felt exactly the same way. Draco was that sort of person, well, creature.

"I can understand that. I like you too."

"Well that's something to be thankful for." I smiled at this.

"I never suspected I would fall for an alien, but I never suspected aliens existed in the first place, so there we are."

"Same here."

There was a pause.

"So, are you going to fuck me or what?" I dropped the hint.

"I thought we'd never get to this." Draco laughed."I was just waiting for you to say it."

"Why me?"

"Because that way I'd know you wanted it."

"I see."

Draco sprung onto me. I rolled as his weight came on me, and soon we were wrestling again. I soon learnt this was a bad habit of all three of us, we all wrestled with one another, all the time when we had the chance.

Draco again soon had the upper hand, and while I was topless, I had left my ripped shirt back at camp, I made him work for it. I struggled against his attempts at holding me down,Draco was having trouble with this lithe figure.But finally he got me down, and held me. I was aware of his hands clutching my shoulders, and my back rubbing across the grass. Then he sat on top of me, astride my chest, and, now certain I was pinned, took his hands off my shoulders.He fiddled with the clasps on my trousers, and then delicately removed them and my underwear. Then he removed his own clothes with one hand, his other hand making quite sure I couldn't struggle out of it.

As if. Then he sat back down on me, his limp cock on my chest.I motioned for him to lie down, and he did so, his weight falling on my chest.Then he made out with me.I manoeuvred my hand, and brought it around onto the back of his head, across the first of his soft spikes. Then I slowly ran my hand down along them. I felt Draco tense up.

"You enjoy that, don't you.It makes you feel, sexual?"

"It's like someone stroking your entire body, massaging everywhere."

"Do you want me to keep doing it?"

"Don't you dare stop." Draco gave a slight growl at this, but he was smiling. I stroked these spikes with both hands, and Draco was becoming seriously aroused. I could hear him pant with the warmth flooding through his system, and I could feel his every movement. I could also feel his cock become larger, sliding up my chest. When it got to what I guessed to be it's fullest, a good two feet, I spoke again.

"You are ready?"

Draco gave almost a purr of affirmation.

"Yes, Alduin.Where do you want me to begin?"

"You are on top of me, you can decide." I was actually surprised he asked this, it wasn't until afterwards that he told me that I seemed to exude this dominance, even when he was fully in charge. But Draco needed no further encouragement, and I felt his erect member slide downwards, rubbing my chest, against my own excited penis, across my swollen testicles, and rubbed against the entrance to my anus.

My hands were still rubbing against him, and he took my hands off, holding my upper arms at right angles to my body. He seemed content to tease me like this, the tip of his cock stroking against the sensitive skin, but not actually entering. I gave a sigh of excitement and impatience, and finally had the courage to speak.

"What's the hold up, Draco? Scared I'll bite?"

"I'll make you beg for it."

"Not on your life."

He shrugged, and continued, while I became more impatient. This was indeed a fight, to see who was the more dominant over the other. I was determined not to lose.

"You'd think there's something wrong with this, the way you're hesitating."

"Not until you plead for it. Let's hear you say you want it."

"Of course I want it."

"There we go, so just say it." Draco smiled, but I wasn't giving in so easily.His cock rose slightly, and rubbed back and forth against my own member.

" You do know Simba's going to find us eventually."

"So? I can wait."

"So can I."

We were both enjoying this, neither of us would admit defeat. I spoke persuasively.

"Come on Draco, I know you want it. What say we call it a draw?"Draco appeared to consider this.

"So who will be the master?"

"Simple. The one who can pin the other. It's the way you two have done it, and we all enjoy it. Hurry up, I swear yours is getting cold."

Draco laughed.

"By that rule, I should always win."

"We shall see."

"O.K., it's a draw."

He lowered his cock against my anus, and then gently thrust inwards. I felt the sides of my anus being stretched as the fully erect cock travelled inwards.

"So, this time, you're master." I said, smiling.

"And so what does the master get?"

"The servitude of the the servant." I replied.

"Fine." Draco smiled. "say you want it."

I sighed loudly.

"You're never happy master.Find, give it to me."

"Not good enough."Draco replied, his seraphic smile showing again. I felt my pleasure falling, and started to panic slightly.

"Draco, please, give it to me!" I urged, as hard as I could.Draco nodded. He began to stroke. I lay back as I felt the trembling cock navigate my gentle interior.He was going quite slowly, and I felt he was being deliberate, which was,of course, his aim.

"Draco, I mean, master, we aren't going to finish by Christmas at this rate."

Draco's answering thrust practically tore my insides apart.Now he was working at his pace,and I let out a cry.

"If you cry out, I will fuck you harder, Alduin." Draco said.

"That's...not necessarily...unnh, a bad thing, master." I managed to gasp, remembering to call him master, because, right now, he was.

"It will be by the time I finish with you." he growled, enjoying the feeling of power over me. He gave this extra mention by ramming his cock home hard and deep, and I let out a gasp of pain. In consequence, he thrust harder and faster, sending waves of pain and pleasure rushing through my system.

I jerked like a toy in Draco's grip, and cried again. He worked harder, and harder, until I could no longer cry or indeed make a sound, for I was unable to do anything but gasp for air.My entire body shivered under the phenomenal beating it was taking, and I could feel myself start to lose my grip on consciousness.

"Master, I..." I managed faintly.But Draco was close to finishing anyway, and with each savage thrust I could feel him tensing for the moment. As I was on the verge of passing out, Draco slammed his cock one more time into me, as deep as he could, and roared. His cock erupted, spraying semen all through my anus and lower intestine. He ejaculated a second, and a third time, and as he did so for the fourth time, my battered and beaten body gave up the fight, and the white cummed sprayed out from my anus,landing on the ground. He cummed one more time, and then stopped, his cock the only thing holding all that cum inside me.

As I found my breath slowly returning to me, I realised Draco was fair near exhausted.I was not physically exhausted, only sore and excited.If Draco got off me, then I could do the same thing back to him.

"Master," I managed to speak again. Draco heaved, his lungs expelling air at an alarming rate. He was looking intensely pleased, and why shouldn't he?He took his weight off my chest, and withdrew his cock. Immediately, all the dragon cum dripped out of my anus. He lay down, and tried to regain his breath. That was my cue.
