Its been forever since I started this series. I feel it unlikely that I'll ever finish it but I will finish up what I have and upload the chapters slowly over time. So I'm proud to submit for your considerations the first chapter of what was to be "The Daxx Chronicles"


It was morning and the bleak sun shone in though the small crack in the blinds. The light danced across to the middle of room to where the bed sat, playing across its occupants. Little bits of dust could be seen floating slowly through the air as they crossed the beam of light, drifting without a care in the world. All of a sudden there was a hard knock at the door.

"Times Up!" Screamed a voice on the other side, "You better be out in 5, or I'll be commin' in there to collect more of ya!" Hard footsteps were heard walking away, and more banging and shouting farther down the hallway outside. Daxx rose from the bed and turned to sit at the side. He took one big yawn and stretched his toes before standing up out of bed. Slowly he walked around the bed to the other side and tapped the lump underneath the covers.

"You best be up now," he whisper's softly, "unless you'd like your next round to be with the dirt." He slipped on his silk gown and did up the waist tie. He opened the door but paused before exiting. "Oh, and thank you for a wonderful night." And out he went into the hallway, closing the door softly. Down the hallway he could see some of his friends exiting their room. "Morning Semus."

"Ah, G'mornin' Daxx," Semus replied from down the hall, "how was your night?" Semus seemed to be in a particularly good mood. Semus is usually a happy person but something was different about him today.

"Ohhhh, not too bad. The poor bloke tucked himself out after only two rounds." Lex chucked. "Though he did make those two rounds quite pleasurable." Semus grinned wide. "Only two rounds? Well I'll have you know last night mine managed to go for eight whole rounds of pure ferocity." He swayed off down stairs leaving Daxx standing there somewhat stunned. Eight rounds? That was quite a lot, even for some of the younger men that come in the house. Daxx snuck over to Semus' room and peeked in through the partially open door. It was then he caught a glimpse of the tall dragon putting on his coat and heading to the door. Daxx jumped back but not in time to avoid getting caught peeking by the tall dragon.

"Aye? What do we 'ave here?" Asked the dragon slyly, "A little kitten spyin' on me?"

"Oh no sir!" Daxx replied, backing off, "I was just... checking on my friend

Semus." He backed against the railing as the dragon advanced on him.

"Well yer little friend left a moment ago. Went down below I believe." The dragon looked Daxx up and down, and leaned in over him. "I didn't see you last night when I came callin'. Maybe when I come callin' again tonight I shall take you to bed instead. You look like a mighty good night."

Daxx look up at him, shaking a little. "Yes sir. That would be good sir. I shall await your return." The dragon stood up and moved to the stairs, walking heavy down them. Daxx stood there a moment, waiting for the dragon to leave before going down stairs himself and joining Semus with the rest of the group.

"Alright kitties, last night was a good haul. We were fully booked up, keep up the good work," Gabe, the house's owner, called out. He proceeded to walk around them and stopped at Semus. "Oh and Semus, it sounds like your client will be switching to a new cat for tonight. You can have Daxx's client." He then walked off to count more of his money from last night. Just as he got out of range did Semus turn to Daxx.

"You cheap whore, you stole my client!" Semus growled at Daxx, "You couldn't stand that I was getting the better clients then you so you had to take mine!"

"No! I didn't mean it!" Daxx nervously replied, "He just caught me outside your room an-­?" Before Daxx could continue Semus took a swipe at his face, leaving Daxx dripping blood.

"SEMUS!" Bellowed Gabe, stopping over from his desk having heard the commotion, "Stop that or you'll be out on the street where I found you." Semus glared at Gabe, then Daxx before storming off to his room and slamming the door.

Leaving Daxx on the floor, holding his cheek that had just been sliced. "Come on Daxx, let's get you cleaned up." Gabe picked up Daxx and carried him off to the bathroom.

Gabe filled a warm bath as Daxx sat on the nearby chair holding a bandage to his face. The bleeding had stopped by now but Daxx was just hiding his face out of shame. "Come now your bath is ready." Gabe beckoned over. Daxx rose and slowly waked over to the basin. Gabe stood up and removed the Daxx's robe and put him in the bath. "You must stand up for yourself more Daxx. You are one of my best cats, and I hate to see you being beaten down by the others." Daxx just sat in the bath as Gabe washed the blood away. He turned Daxx's head to face him, and sighs. "Just watch your tail, will you?" For a brief moment everything stood still, and Gabe stared into Daxx's eyes. Slowly Gabe leaned in and went to lightly... There was a sharp knock at the door. "Gabe, sir, there is a visitor to see you." Gabe got up leaving Daxx in the bath.

"You finished off and get dressed for this afternoon, I hear we've got a whole ship load of men comin' in today." Gabe called back to Daxx as he hurried into the other room. Daxx finished off cleaning up his scratches and dried off. Unfortunately all his clothes were still up in his room so he'd still have to hurry upstairs to his room. He tightly did up his robe and peeked out the door, the coast was more or less clear. There were just a few of his colleagues sitting around but no Semus in sight. He rushed out of the bathroom, hurrying for the stairs. Unlucky for him, one of his colleagues caught him by the tail.

"Hey Daxx, where you going?" It was Oral, "We heard you stole Semus' best client." The other cats were watching, smiling at him.

"I didn't steal him, he requested me." Daxx mumbled, tugging on his tail to get it back but with no luck.

"Oh ya? Or maybe hes just into small shy ones." Oral and the other cats laughed.

Daxx finally managed to wrench his tail free of Oral's grip and hurried up the stairs, stopping at the top to call back at them, "Oral is a name for you, you cock sucking slut! I know you have been blowing Joel your slow days." Leaving the cats behind, now having a laugh at Oral's expense.

Daxx hurries into his room, locking the door before flopping out on the bed and screaming into the pillow. He has always been the small quiet one, but he was the newest in the house at only a year. The oldest was Semus at 10 years of service and Daxx was lucky to have befriended Semus, for the most part. It meant that the other cats usually left Daxx alone, except on the off days like today. And on days like today all Daxx wanted to do was hide in his room, but too bad he had work to do. A prime client was coming and had chosen Daxx to be his entertainment for the night.

Daxx sat up in bed and sighed. He still needed to get dressed for work. As much as he didn't have to tempt any new clients tonight, he still wanted to dress up nicely for this one. He picked himself up out of bed and walked over to his dresser and searched for something suitable. He didn't want to come off slutty or too provocative but he still wanted to be attractive to the dragon. Finally he settled on a pair of low-­?rise pants and a sheer shirt that should at least please the dragon, he hopes.

A light knock came at the door, "Daxx, are you ready to come down for supper before work?" It was Gabe.

Daxx came over to the door and unlocked it. "I am not sure if I will be welcome at the table tonight." Gabe opened the door but remained in the doorway.

"Well it's your favorite tonight, fish n' chips." Gabe teased.

Daxx stands swaying his tail before jumping into Gabe's arms "Ohhh Gabe, you know how to tempt me." Daxx purred, hugging Gabe tight.

"Alright, alright, save it for the client." Gabe chuckled, "Now let's get downstairs for supper."

They both head downstairs where supper was already waiting on the table. Most of the cats were already there eating, but Semus was nowhere to be seen. Daxx made his way to an empty seat near the end of the table. Oral leaned down from up the table a bit. "Hey Daxx... Daxx," he called down the table, "Sorry about earlier today, I was out of line."

Daxx finished chewing his food and mumbled back, "Yes well... I am sorry about sharing your secret."

Oral smiled widely, "Oh that? Don't worry about that, I am sure most guys around here knew anyways." He got up and stood behind Daxx, leaning on him. "And don't tell me you wouldn't want one too."

Daxx was about to reply when the door to Semus' room opened up and he came out. Everyone watches as he made his way down the stairs and sat down on the far end of the table, away from everyone else. Daxx excused himself from Oral and got up from the table. He went over and sat down next to Semus. "Semus? I really didn't mean to take your client, he just caught me outside your room and just requested me." Daxx placed his paw on Semus', "And I do not mean it as an attack on you. So are we still friends?"

Semus finished chewing and turned to Daxx. "I know you didn't mean it, but he is the best client I have. I am just a bit saddened to lose him to another cat... but I am at least happy I lost him to you."

After finishing dinner and cleaning everything up the boys got ready for the clients to come, setting up the tables and getting into costume. Daxx and Semus were sitting together at a table waiting for their respective clients to arrive. Finally after not too long a wait the door opens and the large dragon enters and checks in at the desk. Gabe points out the table at which Daxx was sitting, and the dragon approached. "There ya are cat, excuse me if I'm late." The dragon takes a seat next to Daxx, pulling out his guns and resting them on the table, but keeping them close.

"No sir you are not late, in fact it was you I'm waiting for." Daxx purred out softly, leaning forward to the dragon. At the same time Semus gave Daxx a quick pat on the back, and got up and moved to another table.

The dragon scoffed and leaned back in his chair putting his feet up on the table, "Where's the wine?"

Quickly Daxx beacons over one of the service cats with a pitcher of wine and a goblet for the guest. "Sir, please do enjoy."

The dragon grabbed the wine and slurped it. He lets out a deep murr "Now that's some good drink." He laid back and took out his guitar and plucks some notes while he adjusts the tuning. "So landlover, ever been to the sea?"

"No sir, never been to sea. In fact I have never left the city." Daxx embarrassedly admitted, "I have always wanted to visit the sea but I cannot get away."

The large dragon drank a whole cup down and played a little on his guitar, his tail making its way towards you. "Ahhh I also had the thirst for the sea mate, when I was young, you have a lot to learn savvy."

Daxx looked off into the distance and his eyes sparkled, "Ohhh sometimes I dream of being at sea, feeling the cool breeze blow through my fur, and feeling the ship rock up and down." He sighed and snapped back into focus. "Mmm yes, well so you are a captain of a ship then I take it?" The dragon bowed his hat. "The name is Captain Esor... Juulisan Esor." He smirks as his tail reaches the felines tail and twirls the tip around the felines tip and pulls it closely.

Daxx jumped a little and blushed, "Oh my, Captain..." He bit his lower lip and looked up at Esor. Quietly he scooted his chair over closer to the captain. "Do you plan on being ashore for long?"

Esor plucked a cord by mistake and cleared his throat "Ney, this dragon belongs to the sea."

Daxx leaned his head on Esor's arm, "Well I better make the best of tonight. I am completely at your service good captain." His tail in turn wrapped around Esor's.

Esor wrapped an arm around the feline already quite tipsy after drinking an entire bottle of wine. "Oy, kitten give me another bottle, I need it." He grins as he covers most his eyes with his hat.

"Are you sure good sir? One more and you could be out." Daxx tried to get out of Esor's grip but to no degree of success. "Perhaps you would rather continue your drink upstairs where you can be more comfortable."

"Sure lad, off we go" Esor got up abruptly and grabbed his stuff "Hey! Where the rum in this place!" Daxx hurried up ahead of Esor and grabbed a few bottles from the bar.

"Don't worry good sir, I have got them for you. They will be in the room upstairs for you." Daxx returned to Esor and stood at his side, just in case the captain decides to tip over. Esor hugged the feline close to him, and went up the stairs taking a bottle down. He scuffed as he threw the bottle away behind him, not giving a damn. "Hurry me to dis room of ya's lad"

Daxx led Esor to his room as fast as he could get the tispy dragon to go. The arrived at Daxx's door of which Daxx managed to squeeze open, allowing to captain to enter. "Come now Captain, lay down on the bed and enjoy. There is more rum here if you wish it."

Esor struck the feline with a bottle on the back of his head when he had his back turned and knocked him clean out "Heheheheh... Sleep tight feline... Esor has other plans for ya."
