#6 of The Rithmorie Chronicles

Well it's been a while and I finally have another chapter. I'm trying my best and learn how to write it out better and I hope this is better than my last chapters. I hope you all enjoy it.


It had been two years since that evening with Cath. Their friendship and bond grew much stronger since then. They like to go about, sneaking around to have their special moments together. Simon, Cath's father had confronted them about it with Adriana, Tonka's mother. They were perfectly fine with what they were doing together but told them not to reveal or do it where someone would find out cause it was frowned upon. Tonka got a better hold on his powers thanks to Kahz, the village elder. He taught Tonka in the ways of the mind and he was able to shift between certain elements at will easier. He kept making hints referencing time but Tonka didn't understand it fully. All he knew as far as time went was when he was in a stressful situation it seemed to slow down.

There were a few raids from the neighboring village of barbaric jackles, the Borlusn Clan. The village was able to fend them off but their numbers out matched ours sense there were so few of the Rithmorie Clan. A hundred of them bare minimum. Where the clan of husky's mastered in the elements, the Borlusn's mastered in their rage and need of bloodlust. Recently however they have agreed to perhaps speak of a peace treaty between the two so Athreal and Kahz went to go negotiate, the village elder and the leader. Tonka was happy for his father leaving. It gave him time to be away from his abusive behavier.

Adriana had to leave to go help find food and it took her a few days. Well, during that time Athreal got mad at Tonka and tied him up, holding him upside down and used strange magic on the binds so that he couldn't get out of them. His mother was not happy when she got home and found out her son was strung up for a week and a half. Ever since then though, Tonka got smart about what he does and was able to avoid his father easily. But now that his father was gone with Kahz, his mother gave him the house to himself.

She knew what Tonka had wanted and was going to give him the house while his father was gone. When he saw his father leave sight over the hill where the berry patch used to be and he bolted. He went through the town to look for Cath. He was hard to see when he was excited. He just moved to quickly. He soon stopped as he saw Alex and Timber, picking on someone else. He frowned and walked up. He was no longer afraid of them and he had grown tired of their bullying.

" Alex please... I thought we were to old for petty things such as this." He stated sarcastically. It was one thing that gave him an edge. " Or are you still just a puppy.." he giggled. Alex stood up, dropping the small pup who ran behind Tonka. He had grown up rather quickly. He had to in order to survive his father.

" I like you better when you couldn't talk whelp. I'm still alpha of this generation and no one is going to say other wise. Right Timber?" Alex replied. Timber nodded but had said nothing.

" Well even so... Still just a pup. Come on youn-"

" How dare you talk to me like that." Alex said as he picked up a stick. Tonka had frowned at this point. He wasn't one that like getting into confrontations and he knew Alex wasn't going to fight alone. He had Timber watching his back.

" Well... did I miss the party? Or was I just not invited.." Tonka couldn't help but to smile at the familiar voice. Cath like to be just as playful in banter as he was. It frustrated those who wanted to fight to the point they would lose focus. Timber started to back away as Cath got much bigger in the two years time. Tonka was still just as small as ever, the runt of the clan as they called him. Cath was a bit bigger than Timber but Alex was still the largest by far. Tonka coming in last place.

Alex gripped the stick in his paw and yelled out in a fit of rage, flame started to engulf it. Cath moved as he didn't like fire to much and Tonka's fur turned a bright red all of a sudden. He was still his normal husky self. Thanks to Kahz he realized that he could willfully change to an element. He was still learning more about the control aspect as he tried not to use any of the magic he could muster.

Timber created a staff of ice and lunged for Tonka as well but was intercepted by Cath. Vines wrapped around Timbers legs tripping him. Tonka caught the flaming stick with his paws. The fire not even burning him at all. One thing he like to use to his advantage was being immune to which ever element he was using at the time. He just didn't like the fact his fur gave it away. The immunity its self wasn't just for the magic the element could create. It was the physical part of it as well. Tonka snapped the stick with a swift motion and had the opportunity to strike but didn't take it.

Timber didn't like the fact that He was caught by Cath's vines and tried to freeze them so he could break them. He would succeed at first but then the vines grew faster and faster. " That enough you guys. Break it up. There is no fight inside of the village. Especially you Tonka." Simon had stated as he walked up to them. " Now run along all over. Tonka, Cath, stay here." Alex and Timber ran off.

Alex turned to him and scoffed. " I will get you... just you wait Tonka." he said in confidence.

There was silence as they walked off, the little one Tonka had defended running off to his parents. Simon had left him and Cath there to go inside of his house. He wasn't going to be strict on the boys for defending each other and another. Tonka had looked at Cath and smiled softly as he walked up to the door to his own house. " Cath... my father is going away for a while... would you like to stay with me while he is gone?"

Cath smiled and immediately started to blush he gave Tonka a nod. " Tonka... I would love to..." he said softly as he walked into his house. Tonka shut the door behind him as he giggled a bit. Today was going to be the best day that he has had in a long while.


Athreal and Kahz made it to the village of Jackles. There was much commotion and Athreal was unmoved. Kahz looked at Athreal with a look of concern. " Athreal... where are the greetings you said there would be?" he asked softly.

" Looks like Boris had a change of plans. Lets go meet him in his hut." Athreal replied. He looked a bit concerned now. He walked with Kahz to the large hut, the jackles whispering in their own strange language. Kahz has never really been here before. But he has met the last leader of this village in battle, a long time ago. Guards were standing at the hut, guarding the entrance to it. The had looked at Athreal and scoffed.

" Boris waits inside. Go now pup." one had said as they had opened the door. Kahz was the first to enter followed by Athreal. He had a large smile on his face.

" Athreal, so good to see you." Boris had said. " Did you bring my gift?"

" Of course I did Boris. "

" Athreal, what gift did you bring. You weren't carrying anything." Kahz had stated.

" As per our agreement Boris, I had brought you the elder. Now we can proceed with the next part of our plan."

" What?! Athreal! What are you doing?" Kahz yelled. He clenched his fist and the ground had began to shake. Kahz was increadibly powerful in the ways of the forest. But before he could act he was hit in the head hard, breaking his focus.

" Stupid old man. You are weak. Always have been. My lord will be pleased to have you." Boris said as he stepped on Kahz's back.

" Who... who is your lord... who have you betrayed us for Athreal." Kahz said as best as he could with the weight on his back. Athreal and Boris laughed. Soon the flames from the fire in the hut turned and inky black. Athreal and Boris knealt down and bowed their head. A loud cackling could be heard as the black flames erupted and there stood, hovering in the air a being of no true form, piercing red eyes.

" Well I'll be. The fabled Kahz. Good to meet you in person." the being said. It was a deep growling noise but it was smooth sounding.

" No... not you.... Y-you were destroyed!" Kahz yelled as he tried to get up. But before he could black tendrils wrapped around his body and picked him up. Pulling him close to the being.

" You thought I was gone but you can't kill me. I am the perveyer of darkness. The eater of life." The being said as black tendrils shoved their way into Kahz's mouth. Kahz'z eyes opened wide and his eyes rolled into the back of his head. Soon the tendril started to pulses and it made a suckling noise. A blue light started to come out of Kahz's mouth and into the being. " Ah... nothing like the life force of a powerful living being to satisfy my thrist."

Soon the blue light disappeared into the being and he dropped the cold, lifeless body of the once great elder. The being floated to Athreal and chuckled. " Now... there is just one more thing... You have to be the only one left... I need the life of your clan."

" Understood my lord. I will kill every last one of them. I will need assistance from Boris. Let me go forward and let them know peace was brought. They will let their guard down. I will just tell them Kahz stayed behind to finalize a few things."

" Good... you think well my child... now... we aren't going to have any problems with you killing your wife and child are we?"

" No... my wife will be easy and I don't have a son. Just a weak excuse for a Rithmorie."

" Well then.. go forth and enact my will, child. Try and keep your son alive. He is a gifted child... and that is a soul that I want alive to eat. Kahz has great knowledge on him and he could end up stronger than even you. Be careful Athreal and don't disappoint me."


Tonka and Cath had a lot of fun. They danced and played together all day. It was good to have time alone. Tonka had made a strange instrument that required the use of a stick with hair on it to play. He rubbed it along strings on another instrument, making noise. He was getting better at it. He had called it music, like when the village usually sang during festivals. But, this was a strange kind of dance and singing. This was a special occasion for them. They knew they were getting at that age where they would have to find a mate.

Tonka had thought about this for a while and he knew where his feelings lay. This was their way of courting each other. The danced and spent the day together. Then it was getting late they had climbed onto the top of the hut and held hands looking at the stars in the clear sky. Cath sighed softly and Tonka had looked at him curiously.

" You okay Cath?"

" Ya... I'm fine Tonka. Just thinking about a lot of things lately."

" Like what." he asked softly as he leaned up on his elbow.

" Well.... I like you... but... well I don't know if I'm going to be good enough... you are smart and Kahz looks at you like you are something to behold. The rest of the village is scared of you. I just... I don't know what to do. I'm worried something terrible is going to happen and that we wont be able to be together."

" Oh Cath... don't worry. i don't care what others think. We are our own individuals. You are smart as well and special. Everyone is special in their own ways and I accept you for who you are. I like you a lot Cath.."

" Tonka... are you sure?"

" Yes.. I haven't been this happy in a long while... and I don't want it to end."

" Then... since I'm a bit older... Will... will you be my mate for life? You are right... we shouldn't care what others think. We should only care about being happy with each other. So, will you?"

" Cath... I would love to. I would be honored to be your mate. I know we are really young and we haven't hit that stage in our life where we can actually have children. But I know what must be done now... we must make this mateship official... so.. would you?"

" wouldn't have it any other way hon.." Cath said softly. he got up and Tonka went to do the same but before he could he was picked up by Cath. Cath used his element of the forest to bring up vines from the ground so that he could step on the like stairs till he was able to walk into the window to the main room. He carried Tonka to his room, his arms wrapped around Cath's neck. Cath gently set him down on the bed and Tonka startd to take of his loincloth. He was stopped however and found his muzzle being kissed by Cath who scooted him up on the bed.

Tonka didn't resist at all. he folded his ears back and wrapped his arms aorund Cath who ended up taking off his loincloth for him. Tonka easily took off Cath's cloth. It was only tied in the back. His rear was always showin just like every other male. He licked at Cath's lips who ran his paws over Tonka's smaller body. He let out a soft moan as he felt the larger males paw over his sheath. He started to rub Cath's sides and look into his eyes lovingly.

" Tonka... I ask for your permission to finalize our mateship. May I have you and make you mine forever. To spend our lives together despite what others things. May I make love to you?"

Tonka started to blush heavily. His face turning a bright pink. " Cath.. I accept your proposal. I accept you being my mate and wish to spend my life with you, forever. I would be honored for you to make love to me and make me yours forever." Tonka said softly. This was the ritual that everyone went through when they found their mates. It was tradition. Cath didn't waist any time after that. He knew what Tonka liked already and this would be their first mating session together. He nibbled softly on Tonka's neck, grinding his sheath against the smaller males rear.

The smaller male wrapped his legs around Cath, his lust and love for him building up with each moment. As the nibbles on his neck came, the feeling of the gentle canines against his sensitive flesh he let out a loud moan. He gripped the fur on his lovers back, urging him to continue. He was starting to pant in Cath's ears. His hot breath driving him nuts. He could feel his member started to slip from his sheath fast, rubbing into Cath's fur on his belly. He yelped in surprise as he felt the soft, warm flesh from Cath's member against his rear. They had talked about this a lot and this was the only way they could think of mating one another was this way.

Cath growled as he began to hump Tonka softly, clamping down on his shoulder softly. Their lengths growing to full erection fast. Cath had wiggled around a bit till his hot rod could feel the delicate flesh of Tonka's tailhole. He looked into Tonka's eyes and pressed his nose against his. " Are you ready hon?" he asked softly. " I will go slow for our first time."

" I-I'm ready hon... " Tonka replied softly. He didn't know what to say. He trusted Cath to go slow with him. He started to relax as best as he could and Cath started to push into him. Tonka yelped at first as it was very painful. Cath had whimpered softly but Tonka shook his head, urging him to continue. Cath smiled softly as he kept pushing into the smaller males body. The rim was tight around his sensitive flesh and it was warm. The pain soon started to go away and was replaced by an intense pleasure that he hadn't really felt before.

Soon Cath's slowly swell knot touched Tonka's entrance and he wiggled a bit to adjust. He ended up hitting a spot inside of Tonka that made him jump and moan in pleasure. Cath smiled and started to pull out till he was almost out and pushed back into his lover. He hit that same spot that made Tonka's body jolt with excitement. Tonka started to grind his length into Cath's stomach as he was being thrusted into. His body being racked with intense pleasure that cause the clear liquid to ooze from his tip.

Cath was starting to ooze the same liquid inside of Tonka, which made thrusting into him a lot easier. He began to whimper as he felt hot and like something was trying to escape his groin. He knew what it was. It was the same feeling he usually got when he was close to climaxing. " T.. tonka I'm close." he whispered softly. Tonka nodded as he was feeling the same way.

" T.. tie me... Cath... I can take it." he whispered back in response. He didn't care how painful it was going to be, he just wanted that knot that grinded against his rear with each thrust. His own knot pulsed and Cath began to get harder and harder they rocked the bed a bit. Soon Cath pushed against Tonka hard, grabbing his hips and pushing him against his groin till a large 'pop' could be felt as Tonka's rim gave way to Cath's knot. Tonka yelped out in intense pain that was accompanied by pleasure. Cath howled out as he started to shoot into Tonka.

Tonka howled out with Cath. His climax hitting hard and shooting the viscous fluid over the both of us. Cath twitched softly before he growled and clamped down hard on Tonka's shoulder. His teeth piercing the skin, drawing blood. Tonka gripped his fur tightly and soon sighed happily. Cath let go of Tonka's shoulder and licked over the wound. " There... now you are mine." he said softly. " I love you so much Tonka."

" I love you too Cath..." He said softly. He nuzzled into Cath as they laid there for a few minutes. Cath was tied to Tonka and they had to wait till his knot went down in swelling.

" What the fuck is going on here." A loud, deep voice said. It sounded incredibly familiar to Tonka. His ears perked up as he looked to the door. His eyes widened and Cath held onto him tightly. There was only one thing that was going through his mind and it frightened him.

Athreal.....
