#13 of Master of Aura

Ruli is kidnapped by the Lucario pack, and apparently, the leader's intention is to force him to become his sexual slave. As Ruli resists him, he becomes entangled in a web of emotion, as he is beaten repeatedly nearly to the point of unconsciousness, with only one thought helping him

hold on, he is pushed to his absolute limits.

If you desire a part in the story, either as a pokemon or trainer, please send me a message to talk about it. (I'll also do cameos of trainers and pokemon for filler chapters where they will battle Zane and Ruli and the rest of his team (Winning or losing said battle not decided in advance, but gym leaders are off limits)) I need trainers for the pokemon who can assume the new mega forms coming in Pokemon X and Y. Those pokemon themselves I've already created personality wise, and would like their trainers to match them, but if you want to nickname them we can talk about that, or also, you could suggest (Or become) one of Zane's 2 (Two spots have been claimed) remaining pokemon members to fill. (As well as their nickname).

For those of you who don't know what Mega Lucario looks like (For shame :3) look here, there are also lots of other pictures of the other megas drawn here. http://drphantom24.deviantart.com/art/Mega-Lucario-397449010


Chapter 13

I groaned softly as my vision came back. I felt my body going numb, I was entering a recover state, I wasn't quite into it yet though, I knew I would end up blacking out again soon as I did. I looked upwards at the night sky, noticing the hills passing by me at the same time. Someone was dragging me by the chain collar around my neck, the gem pressed up tightly right under my muzzle as a result. I turned my head groggily, my vision still bleary. My head ached and the back throbbed where I had hit the rock. I reached up behind myself slowly, touching my fur, finding it wet with blood and I whined in pain and jerked my paw back, staring at it a moment as it was covered in red and my arm fell limb again. My vision started to fade again.

"Z-zane...?" I whispered out hopefully, but I was met with a loud growl, the tugging on my collar becoming hard a moment in response to my call as they dragged me along the ground, my rump bumping against a rock that made me wince and sheeth in a moment of pain, the injury only increasing my rate of descent into the state of recovery.

I rolled my head again to the opposite side, trying to force focus into my eyes and I saw another Riolu, just like me, and I reached out to him slowly with my paw. He looked at me briefly as he walked close to me, his eyes darting back to looking ahead. I tried to speak, but my consciousness was fading again, my vision going black as this time I entered a recovery trance.

When I woke again, most of the pain was gone, and I was no longer being dragged. I took in a deep breath while lifting myself slowly, whining at the flashes of pain from the back of my head. I reached behind myself to dab my paw at the fur again. It had dried up with blood, sticking up at sharp angles, but the bleeding seemed to have stopped. I checked the rest of my body slowly, my collar was still on, the gem still in place, and I seemed relatively uninjured asides from some scraps and cuts from being dragged.

Lowering my paw, I looked around my surroundings. I was in a dank cave, the only light provided being what shined off the walls around the corner of the cave, which curved to the right ahead of me and I guessed the entrance was right there. If there was light, it must have meant that daylight had came. Despite my lightheadedness, my immediate thought and desire was to find Zane.

"You're lucky to be alive..." The gem whispered to me then, "They brought you here, I can sense them everywhere...be careful. These Lucario aren't civilized, they've lived in the mountains their whole lives...We intruded on their territory, and they protected it. I heard in their whispers, normally they see travelers just pass through and do nothing to them, but seeing an unfamiliar Riolu was different, they felt threatened...They're a lot like how I and my own pack were..." I barely paid attention to him, my mind still fuzzy as I moaned.

"Gotta...get out of here..." I grunted silently as I used the wall of the cave to help myself up to my feet. I started taking steps forward, shakily at first. The back of my head throbbed again, making me wince and grit my teeth as I brought my paw back to rub the spot the rock had struck. It was incredibly swollen, and pressing down on the bruise hurt and made me feel fuzzy.

"What an awful fall..." I sighed softly as I held myself up with one paw against the wall next to my left, slowly making my way along it to the light ahead.

I reached the corner and tried to cross the tunnel to the other wall, ending up stumbling through the middle and crashing against it, gasping out in pain again as I slammed back on accident, slightly banging my already abused head against it.

"Ah!" I yowled and had to cringe in place a moment, as the pain flashed through my body until it receded, my head giving a few more painful throbs though.

I whined, rising to my feet again and using my right paw to guide myself along the inner wall of the corner, walking around it. I shielded my eyes against the bright light with my other arm and paw, the sun blazing right into my face. This side of the tunnel was longer, but there was nothing standing between me and the exit, and I started to slowly hobble along the wall, focusing on the exit as my goal, not even really considering what I was going to do when I reached it.

Before I could reach it however, a shadow stepped up in front of the light, making me squint as the light shined around him and I tried to see. The shape was relatively humanoid in shape, but the bright sunlight covered most of the outline, not leaving me much to go off off.

"Zane...?" I called out in hope again, but like before, I was met with another growl, and the figure stepped forward to join me in the cave, his shape becoming more defined as he stepped up. It was a Lucario, a large one.

I took steeps back along the wall as he approached, unsure how to act or what was going to happen. At the same time, I knew I didn't have anywhere to run, so I remained still as he drew close, looking down at me as I looked up at him. I gulped lightly as I stared up into his eyes, and we just continued to stare at one another.

I shuffled in place a bit, averting my gaze a moment and whimpering softly. He knelt in front of me, rubbing his paw across my cheek a moment, the spike on the back of his paw lightly tickling my skin. I looked back up at him and I whimpered again. Neither of us spoke, so I tried to first.

"Where am I? Why did you bring me here?"

He didn't answer, but I heard whispers on the aura around me, he only continued to rub my cheek. It seemed that these wild pokemon could not speak in the normal language of pokemon, they only used aura to speak to each other.

I looked down a moment and saw something that made my eyes go wide. In the shadows of the cave and of his body, while he was this close to me, I could clearly see his canine cock standing tall between his legs, and the pair of furry and heavy looking balls under it. His knot was already there, the length of his shaft throbbing and a clear line of pre drooled from the tip onto the cave floor. It was probably just under half my height in length, and the smell I suddenly noticed coming from him told me what his intention was, he had been expecting this for a long, long time.

I backed away from him quickly as I read his intentions, but his paw grabbed mine before I could get away, and he growled softly at me. It was warning I knew, but I still tried to tug myself free. His growl grew louder and tugged my arm towards him, and I slid along the floor of the cave, my footpads scraping against the rock painfully as I resisted him all the way until he had me right up against his leg.

His arm wrapped tightly around my back, forcing me to half hug his leg and thigh, his large red cock throbbing close to my face, my eyes locked onto it worriedly as I whined and squirmed against him. Clearly though, he liked having me squirm, as he half growled half murred at me with a grin on his muzzle.

The whispers in the aura continued, sounding more insistent. I understood none of it, but the way he moved his arm to shuffle me closer to his groin told me enough of what he was trying to whisper to me.

"No..." I growled myself now, pushing back against his leg, struggling and stretching my body back to keep my head away from his erect cock. I was able to keep myself away, as I felt his warm flesh brush along my neck and my chain collar, but my disobedience to his demands made him even more frustrated with me, his grin fading to a slight snarl as he brought his other paw down to grab onto my head from the top, forcing it to face his cock with his strength.

"I won't do it..." I told him as I closed my mouth as hard as I could then, all the while as he brushed his cock along my neck, muzzle, and cheek, his pre matting into my fur and staining me. Of course, with the smell of arousal coming from him, I couldn't help but feel a little turned on, my sheath felt tight, but my reluctance to indulge in giving him pleasure kept any other arousal at bay.

This wasn't sitting well with him at all though, and he growled and his paw gripped my head hard, whipping it back so that I was tilted up at the ceiling. I gasped in pain, the back of my head throbbing as he used his greater strength to whip my head back. My paws left the ground as he lifted me from the ground by my head, until I hovered a face level with him. He stared into my eyes again, as I stared back in defiance.

His other paw held my waist, his fingers lifting up my tail behind me. I growled as he blatantly rubbed one of his fingers at my tailhole under my tail. I still couldn't help the blush as I felt it, no one had ever touched me there before. After a moment of slow rubbing, at which point I relaxed in his paws for just half a second, he pushed his finger up inside me suddenly.

I yelped in surprise, a brief moment of pain coming from my rear as he continued to push his rather wide finger into my body, even as it reacted and my rear squeezed and clenched around it, trying to stop the intrusion, but he just kept pushing in, splitting me open more and more, the pain increasing as he did.

"St-Stop!" I yowled out at him, pushing against his body with my paws, trying to get myself off of his finger. He grinned at me, his teeth gleaming in the faint light as I growled and glared at him in pain.

As he pushed up into me once more, shoving his finger up into my rump forcefully, I growled again and I bared my teeth. "I said STOP!"

I planted my paws against his chest, and used Force Palm in both of my arms to blast him. He gasped, the explosion just enough to blast me away from his body and the grip of his paws, his finger popping out of my rear. I crashed back onto the ground onto my sore behind, yelping again as I did. I ignored the pain, this was my chance!

I scrambled up to my feet, and tried to dash around the stunned Lucario. I managed to pass by him before he reached out to grab me, but I jumped up to slide along the wall of the tunnel, causing him to crash into the wall with a thud headfirst. I landed back onto the floor and ran free along the tunnel, panting and ignoring every flash of pain that came from my body.

I ran out into the light, but yipped in surprise as my footing vanished. I began to tumble down the side of a cliff, the edge of which I had not noticed because of the bright light. I yelped and grunted each time I hit the rocks, feeling bones snapping as I impacted them. I didn't tumble long though it seemed, as I landed heavily into the dirt of a small valley.

Other Lucarios and Riolus stared at me around the small area as I picked myself up slowly, heaving myself up to my knees and feet. As I stood up shakily, the Lucario I had left in the tunnel appeared and he howled down into the valley, pointing at me.

Dozens of whispers sounded in my ears again as the Riolu came toward me, growling and baring their teeth at me. I balled my paws into fists, wincing as my body ached from my fall, and I felt my vision blur just a moment, but I shook my head clear. I refused to let myself fall victim here!

"They're testing you! Fight them fist to fist! This is how our species acts to each other, no moves, just fists and feet!" the gem advised me, and indeed it seemed to the case, as the Riolu in front of me raised up his fists in a fighting stance.

He danced towards me fancily and punched out at me. I parried his fist with one arm and jabbed back at him with the other, punching him in the face. He fell back with a yowl of surprise, and not even a few seconds after, I turned just as another of the Riolus kicked at me from my blindside. I ducked under his sweeping leg and gave him an uppercut to the jaw as I rose back up, sending him up into the air to land in the dust with a thud.

It seemed my training with Zane and my battles had given me a focus in battle these Riolu's didn't possess, even though all four of them were bigger than me. The two I hit laid on the ground, stunned for the moment, as the other two looked at me in interest now. They realized they couldn't just lash out at me, and they were studying me as I danced back and forth with them. The Lucarios surrounded us, their whispers chanting some insane tune that seemed to fuel this savage contest.

I saw the Lucario from the cave slide down into the valley, his cock still protruding from his body, as he stepped up to join the circle. The other Lucarios parted for him, and now that I had them to compare to, I saw that he was much bigger than the rest.

"He's the leader of the pack." The gem thought with me and then warned me, "Watch out!"

I returned my focus to the two Riolus that were still fighting me, but too late, as one of them managed to punch me in the chest and make me gasp, knocking the air from my lungs. As I bent over in surprise, the second one gave me an uppercut as well.

I flew back through the air, landing on my back and sliding along the ground a bit. I groaned, panting to try and catch my breath again while slowly lifting myself up. I felt my mind getting tired again, a recovery trance pecking at my head, but I brushed it with effort and got to my feet. The Riolus didn't give me a chance to fully recover though, as both of them punched me in the gut at the same time, sending me up into the air again to hit against the side of the cliff.

I yelped in pain as I landed, a large rock crushing into my chest. I heard my rips crack, the pain spiking through me and making my whole body numb as this damage brought me to my limit. My mind went completely blank, starting to fade into recovery mode, but again, I barely managed to fight it off. I slid down the side of the cliff slowly, just letting myself slide down as I thought.

It was me versus twelve other pokemon, eight of which were all more powerful than me. I had tried to fight back, tried to escape, but I wouldn't be able to fend off the Lucarios if they decided to get involved. What was the point of this?

As I slid down into the valley again, a felt the large paw of the leader Lucario roll me onto my back, and I looked up at him through dazed eyes, before he kneeled over me, bringing his no half erect cock to my muzzle. I knew what was happening, I had lost the fight, I had to pay tribute to the leader of the pack.

I whimpered in protest again, no matter the situation, I would not allow myself to be this pokemon's sexual slave.

He growled at my continued refusal, his paw wrapping tightly around my neck. I gagged, while he lifted me up, crushing my throat with my own collar, brining me closer and closer to blacking out, but I held onto my mind, focusing on the singular thought that I would never allow him to have his way with me.

He lifted me up above his body, and I looked down at him, my feet dangling in the air as I wiggled and tried to breath with his paw on my throat.

"I...won't...let you...do this..." I breathed out to him, and he bared his teeth and barked at me. whipping me over his head before he threw me as hard as he could manage against the cliff.

I slammed into the wall of the cliff backwards, the back of my head slamming into it as well. Pain spiked in me as the vulnerable wound on the back of my head split back open. The pain was so much that I couldn't even cry out this time. I slid back down to the ground once more, laying there as I felt wetness forming around my head. I smelled the arousal of the leader again as he leaned over me, his cock poking at my muzzle. I was too damaged to resist anymore. I gave up and submitted, this was my fate it seemed...

His cock poked past my lips, the musky taste of his flesh rubbing onto my tongue. I would've gagged, if I could have, but my body was done for, unable to move. I was slipping away, I couldn't hold on anymore.

"Don't give up Ruli." I heard the gem whisper sadly to me, "Please...don't give up, don't let this happen..."

"Why...?" I thought back to him, feeling the warm cock of the powerful Lucario push further into my motionless body, poking at the back of my throat and it throbbed and drooled pre "This is hopeless...Zane's not coming for me..."

"Don't give up hope...I...didn't tell you everything." He seemed to be having a difficult time saying this, his voice was actually choking in emotion

"I had a name Ruli...I did...watch..." He said and a few images flashed through my mind, before it stopped on another of the movie like memories.

"Just GIVE UP!" A loud booming voice sounded over the blaring ringing in the ears of the spirit of the memory. "My power is a HUNDRED times as strong as yours!" As the ringing faded, the sound of heavy panting and pattering rain sounded all around the spirit in the memory, and the heavy flapping of wings up in the air above him.

The spirit's black and red striped paws moved up into the vision of his eyes, as he looked at his paws for a long moment. Blood stained his fur, cuts and scars lined his arms, the blood from them dripping down onto the gray rock under him, painting them red. I noticed drops of blood appearing from off screen as well, which meant he had to be bleeding from not just his arms, but from cuts on his face as well. The vision of the memory seemed to skip, before it zoomed off to away from his body, it gave me the first glimpse of what he fully looked like, and I took in everything I could. He looked a lot like Lucarios did, but his body was more than half as large as the one currently fucking my muzzle. He had the same four head appendages as a Lucario did, but the farthest left and right grew about two times as long as the middle two, and were tipped in red fur unlike the other ones covered all black. The spikes on his body were slightly larger, and he also had smaller a spike next to the ones on his paws and feet, and two on his chest, on each side side of the one in the middle, connected to his shoulders. The fur of his neck was fluffed out around his neck like a bush. His tail was covered in the tan fur of his chest and belly, and looked much like Silver's bushy tail. Patterns of black and blue fur covered his body, reaching along his arms and legs to his red furred paws and feet. He looked amazing. I was in awe, but I couldn't keep examining him as the vision flew away from him at a sudden high speed.

It stopped at a far away mountain cave, which showed many Lucario, Riolu, and humans standing inside the cave, staring out at Mount Vazuvious from their home. I watched as one of the humans in the group whispered something. I realized then, it was the human whom he had struck in the memory he had shown me back in Apec town, but he seemed much healthier now, his skin was bright and he seemed happy.

"Raze...You can do it...you have to come back to me..." The human whispered to himself.

After a few moments, the vision zoomed back over to the spirit, his vision returning to normal where he stared at his paws again.

He clenched his paws tightly, "My pack...I must protect them...I cannot give up hope, I CANNOT LOSE!" He roared just as loudly and he stood up quickly, staring up at the red and black pokemon, Calamity.

"If your power is a hundred times as strong as mine, I'll just have to gain twice as much as you! I am Raze! This is the name my pack gives me!!! I will use their trust in me to defeat you!" A blue glow of energy shined at the edge of the spirit's vision, as he gathered aura energy into a sphere with his paws I guessed.

"FOOLISH!!!" Calamity screeched and folded its wings together, its own red sphere forming, and the two of them fired their attacks at the same time, and as the two attacks met, they reacted to each other and exploded in a ball of fire. The spirit covered his face with arms, as hot wind blew against him, and just as the attack started to fade, and he removed his arms, a red wing shot out to strike him. The memory cut off right then, and the present spirit talked to me again.

"Listen to the aura Ruli, give your feelings to it, let it carry you through the air, let it show you your hope, as it did for me...let it show you the person who gave you a name...He is your source of power, he has always been...just as Zul had been for me...way back then..."

I closed my eyes, I ignored how the cock in my mouth started to go faster and faster. I allowed myself to lose all sense of body, my mind's eye leaving my body and it cast out into the air. The aura carried me across the mountains, until it slowed as it reached a group of two humans, and one silver colored Eevee, as they.were trying to carefully navigate a crevice. It was Zane, Fredrick, and Silver. They were way off the path, treading over dangerous falls. They were trying to find me.

The aura carried me closer to Fredrick, and it let me hear his thoughts, "Stay strong Ruli. You're too incredible a pokemon to just be gone like this..."

It moved over to Silver then, as the four legged pokemon was trying to work his way along the thin pathway, "Please Ruli...you told me to believe in myself, believe in yourself for me too...I will find you if you try to find me too."

And then it moved over to Zane, and I felt tears start to flood my eyes by this point, "Ruli...I love you...I mean it, with you gone I feel so empty...I promised I wouldn't leave you alone...I mean to keep that promise, no matter the cost, no matter what I have to do...I will search every inch of these damn mountains if I have to. No pack of damn Lucario are going to stop me."

My vision flew away, zapping back over to me as I let my emotions get the better of me, and I was brought back to my own eyes, looking up at the bastard who was fucking my muzzle, his tongue hanging free of his muzzle. The rest of the Lucario had gathered around him, pawing themselves off to the show.

As I absorbed the messages of hope, power just seemed to surge in me, and I bit down on the Lucario's cock.

He howled in pain, his pleasure completely disrupted as I clamped down as tight as I could on the flesh, drawing blood with my teeth. I gagged now, as my body regained the ability to move and act, but I didn't release my hold as he shot up, taking me with him as I was clamped on his groin.

His paws grabbed me, pulling at me, but I made sure all his pulling would do possibly rip off his shaft, my teeth digging into the flesh. To both of our surprise, as he continued to pull and tug at me on his cock, he actually climaxed and cummed down my throat. Now I really gagged, disgusted that he actually came in my muzzle, and threw it back up around his groin, the vomit splashing out around his groin and I let go of his cock, falling back onto the ground on my rump, spitting out the nasty taste of his seed. Zane and Silver tasted much better I decided.

As he stumbled back onto the arms of his pack, as they worried over his injury, I stood up in the pile of vomit and cum that had resulted, and I yowled as loud as I could.

"I won't let you do this! There are people waiting for me, I have to get back to them!" As I yowled out, I felt my chest start to warm, my body started to glow white, and I heard the gem shout.

"Yes! That's it! This is what it takes! Feel that surge, let it grow!"

"I will not let you overpower me and make me your slave and destroy my life! I have a name, given to me by ones I love! If my strength is not enough, I will rely on them to see me through any obstacle, including you!!!"

My body became encased in white light, the kind of bright like that would shot from the pokeballs.

"Yes! This is the key to evolution in this world, the bond between a pokemon and their trainer!"

"I am Ruli!" I shouted out and my vision became blinded by the light, and a loud buzzing like noise filled my ears.

I felt myself changing, my body growing and expanding, power flooded through my body, growing muscle and my body healed rapidly, my bones became like steel, and they grew spikes out of my paws, feet, and the middle of my chest. My tail grew out longer, tipping off at a angle. Tan fur grew on my chest and belly as it lengthened and I grew tall, my arms growing long and my legs becoming strong and muscular, thick patches of blue fur covering them, while black fur grew on my feet like socks. The appendages on my head grew longer, and two more grew next to them so that I now had four. My ears pointed up on top of my head, growing longer and pointed. The light began to fade, my vision was no longer blinded, and I could see the Lucario in the valley staring at me in disbelieve.

I continued to shout out as I evolved, marveling in the growing power I felt in my body. My voice had become deeper, much deeper, and I noticed that I felt more at tune with the aura naturally, and I could hear the thoughts of the Lucario clearly.

"He's evolving!?"

"He's too young! This is impossible!"

"He's still just one pokemon! Take him down!"

The gem shouted at me, "Your evolution is almost complete! Merge with me now!"

"All right!" I nodded and I reached to my neck collar, the metal shining against my glowing body. I placed my paw on the gem, and I felt it grow warm against my body and in my paw. Red and black light exploded from the gem in streams of color, swirling around my body, encasing me in an orb of swirling red and black, as I felt my body further changing, growing even more, transforming into a Mega.

"I'm giving you all I can for now, but it won't last forever! My spirit energy is used the longer you're in it, and while you're in my form, I can't speak to you from the gem. The longer you use it, the longer it will take me to recharge and be able to merge with you again, but I will let you know when we can and can't. Now get back to Zane!"

"Thank you...Raze..." I whispered to him, "For all the help you gave me just now...and letting me know that memory..."

"Time for that later Ruli...I'll tell you everything later..." He said back lightly and then shouted, "Now show them what a Master of Aura can do!"

The colored orb of power he had surrounded me with exploded out, the Lucario shielding themselves a moment from the momentary blast of wind that was caused, before the opened their eyes.

They all fell silent, their gaze moving up along my new body, the body of Mega Lucario, until they stared up into my eyes, glaring at them in rage and anger.

The two longer head ornaments that new grew from behind my ears fluttered in the breeze of the mountains, as I brought up one of my paw and held it palm up in front of me. The aura felt so natural in this form. I felt as if I was a part of it...I could will it to do anything.

And even as I thought it, a small blue ball of energy appeared in my palm.

"Aura Sphere..." I muttered lightly, before I lashed out with my paw and stuck the lead Lucario in the chest with it. A small explosion blasted him out of the arms of his companions, and he was blown threw the air and slammed back into the wall of the mountain, the force so much that he left an imprint in the mountain of his body as he slowly peeled off and landed in the dirt, knocked out completely.

The rest of the Lucario looked at him, than they turned back to me. I stared at each of them in turn, and I spoke to them using the aura, "Anyone else want to try and get me to suck their dick?" My voice was even more deep than it had been as I had evolved first into a Lucario.

They all put up their paws, waving them and they started to take slow steps back away from me, before they each turned around and ran off into the hills and mountains. The Riolu quickly followed, leaving their leader in the dust of the valley and at my feet.

I walked up to him slowly, finding that moving in this body felt just as natural as moving in my own did. I kicked him in his side lightly once, but he didn't move. He was completely out cold.

"Humph...who's weak now..." I muttered lightly and I turned away from him, crouching and I jumped, the power in my legs sending me up the cliff and to the exit to the valley home.

______________________________

The aura, it flowed so naturally now, I realized as I ran along the mountains, dashing along the path ways at such a fast speed I could hardly believe it. Was this really the kind of power Raze had? It was incredible, I wish I could stay this this forever, but he had explained to me in his rush as best as he could that it couldn't last forever, and the longer I used it, the longer it would take for him to recharge his spirit energy to merge with me again.

Right now though, I was just enjoying it. My heart was focused on Zane, and the aura was guiding me right along the path to him, it alerted me of any obstacles in my way, acting almost like a sonar. At times, I could even see it with my eyes, like little puffs of blue smoke drifting through the air in front of me.

I jumped as I ran, flying across a crevice between two mountains to another, running along the pathways connecting them as I tried to catch up with Zane.

I ran and ran, following where the aura told me, trusting it, until finally, I felt my mind snap together with Zane, and Silver soon after, and both their voices yelled in my head, "RULI!"

"Zane! Silver!" I yowled back in delight, pinpointing both of their locations as I ran, jumping across more hills and rocks until they were just behind the last hill and I jumped over it.

"Wha? Ruli!" Zane shouted again as he saw me explode over the mountain.

"Zane!" I grinned widely and I felt relief flood my heart, and as soon as I landed, I felt the spirit in the gem retake his power, my body shrinking down as I glowed gray momentarily and the red and black streams of color were pulled from my body and back into the gem, which started to glow again. I stood once more as a normal Lucario before my trainer, who stared at me in wonder.

"Ruli?" Zane asked lightly as he stepped towards me and I felt myself blush brightly on my cheeks, which now that they were mostly black furred, showed up easily.

"You evolved..." He whispered as he got close to me, his hands grabbing hold of my arms lightly, "And, the gem...you merged with it."

I nodded, "There's a lot I still need to tell you about the gem Zane...but that can wait." I stared into his eyes a moment and then hugged him tightly as fast as I could. It was so strange, now we were about the same height, my muzzle reached just under his chin in, and I was able to tuck it up under his neck.

"I'm just happy I found you...and that you didn't give up on me..." I whimpered and i felt my eyes water, a few tears dripping from my closed eyes as I held onto him, and he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me back silently, as Silver and Fredrick watched. Our emotions said everything we needed to.
