#121 of Exploration


The statue, mean time, had turned back and followed Willowing. The diminutive avian was the only one who knew I wasn't a statue, and he smiled at the child's words.He maintained a respectful silence as he led me through a series of doors, leading away from the Great Hall. Finally we came to a small room, about three by three metres that had a single bed in it, and a chest. Willowing went in, and as I followed, I shut and octo bonded the door behind me. Willowing looked in confusion as I used the octo bonder, but sat down on the bed.

"Alduin, never have I ever seen something like you, and not even an avian with your character. You led my men so well." he said quietly.

I sat down next to him, and took both my gloves off, placing them on the bed beside me.

"Thank you, Willowing."

"I'm serious. We would all fight to the end of the world if you commanded.And while I know you told me you are not a blessing, I think you are.It was willed by Ja'ryaq that you came here."

He could well have a point, if this god did exist, then he might have helped our teleporters to land near to the avians.But that's religious, and it's not something I am particularly good at.Willowing chose to stand up and sit on my lap, looking up at my helmeted face.

"So what is you wish now, lord?"

"Silverine, how long are we here for?" I spoke into my mike in Centralite, one hand holding my ear piece so I could hear him better.

"Well, we appear to be quite welcome, I'm quite happy to stay here until tomorrow afternoon."

"Seconded." Ryan cut in.

"Agreed." Kodey added.

"Then it is decided." the Lupogriff finished,"It's about three now, your time, so one earth day before we go back.Only question, where are we to sleep?"

"Ask Jay, I'm sure he'll be happy to lend us some bunks, even if he's terrified of you."

"Also, they mentioned other groups of avians, shall we find out about those?"

"Yes.Who's still at base, we could see if they wanted to join us down here?"

"Alex, Valmeero, Ryan G, Winslo, Iris, Orion, Felicia a couple of others."

"Ask one of them." I said, and then switched off my head set, looking down at my confused avian in front of me.

"I will be staying for one more day, more of our servants are coming to check on how the other avian tribes are."

"Really?" Willowing sounded amazed,"How?"

"We have means of travelling long distance in short times." I replied softly.

"So what do you want to do?" the avian asked me.

"Well, after that fight I want to have a rest.How's the wing now?"

"All the pain has gone, I feel better than fine." the avian rubbed where the wound had been.

"Good.It really does hurt applying that stuff, you could see Ryan's face when I fixed his leg. But the other option is to keep the wound, and that hurts longer, but not as much."

"You saved me from that creature, too. You are a good leader, you look after those you command. Do you request anything from me?"

"Nothing as right now." I gently took my hands away from him and lay down on the bed, which was far too short so my feet were on the ground. Willowing got out of his armour, and then his stained clothes.

"I told you were good looking." I said with a smile, and Willowing flushed in his nakedness. His unerect cock hung down, and he gently covered it with a hand and looked down. I got up, and squatted down to his level.

"What do you think of sex, Willowing?"

The avian tried to turn, but I gently took his arm, and he shyly looked up at me.

"It's nice, why?"

I took off my heavy breastplate with one hand, and pulled Willowing gently over to the bed.

"What are you doing, Alduin?" he stuttered, and I sat on the side of the bed, the avian in front of me. I took away his hand that was screening himself, and began caressing his cock.

"You want to have sex with me?" Willowing looked very timid, and I smiled at him through my helm.

"I do." I said, with a nod. With one finger I gently stroked down the line of my ass, the fabric parting to show it's entrance, and Willowing looked down at that as I kept the fabric apart with my fingers.

"I couldn't." he said, looking at the steel folds of skin. I was stroking him to erection, and I spoke with a jocular tone.

"I can't see why not." Willowing looked at me as though I was some kind of demon.

"I couldn't fuck you! You are...you are,"he tried to find a way to finish the sentence.

"Different?"I suggested. Willowing shook his head emphatically.

"No!, but you are from the skies, and you are our leader. If we are to have sex, it should be you fucking me.I am not worthy."

My response was quite firm. His cock was not fully erect, about six inches in length, and I grabbed him around the back of the back side and pulled him in towards me.The avian gave a small screech of surprise before I grabbed his cock with my other hand and placed it against my ass, before pulling him again. His cock pressed my ass apart and slid in easily, and as he tried to fend me off I brought both my legs around his back, keeping him trapped in the process of fucking me.

He was quite stunned. He was still in the belief he was not worthy, and he grabbed my legs trying to prise himself from me. I took both his arms, and he looked at me in awe.

"Why do you want me to?"

"Because you should enjoy the experience.My fellows enjoy sex as well, so I imagine there could be a couple of avians tomorrow morning who will be elated that we had it off with them." I laughed, and Willowing grinned.

"Did you hear the discussion between the women, then?"

"No, do tell."

"Not much to tell, except they wondered if your companions did have sex.Quite a lot were talking about Silverine."

"That's the Lupogriff alright. He does enjoy it, and his manhood makes me envious."

"Do you want to fuck me, Alduin?My ass is virgin, but just say the word, because I owe you."

"I do want to take your ass, you are too handsome and cute to miss it.But this way you get to go first, and you can tell Jay and the others that the servant let you fuck him." I released my leg hold on Willowing, and the avian needed no more coaxing.He was very gentle, and thrust back and forth in my ass with a slightly slow rate. His delicate frame bent slightly over me, and his lithe hands were holding my hips with uncertainty.He knew he was allowed to fuck me, but I think he didn't want to go hard in case he somehow hurt me.

Unlikely, but possible. I sighed under the sensation of his member sliding slowly but sensuously back and forth in me. He fucked me at a rate that he would have considered moderately hard, but to me was a very gentle stroke. He went as deep as he could with every stroke, and his balls pressed hard against my ass every time he pushed in. I sighed, and my own cock hardened underneath my cat suit. I stroked the material, and my cock came out.

My young avian seemed amazed by the length and width of my steel cock. He was less surprised by the fact it was steel, I was a statue after all.He did not stroke it, he knew what lay in store for it, but he did compliment me for the size of my manhood. I inwardly thought of Silverine, and thinking which lucky avian would feel the Lupogriff's cock tonight.

I thought on this, and I opened out my wave band to the team.

"By the way, there is a discussion among the avians about whether you wish to have sex with them.This is from Willowing." I said in Centralite.

"Do they?" Silverine must have been licking his lips, and I saw through his glasses as he eyed up potential targets. Ryan Lewis and Kodey sounded intrigued. As the female avians were serving them food, Silverine gently stroked on her side, and she flushed.

"You require my services, Silverine?"

"I have had a wearying day, and I would like to expend some sexual tension. Would you object?" the Lupogriff wasn't going to rush this.

"And the others?"

Silverine looked at the other two, and both reindeer and human smiled at him.

"They would enjoy it too." the avian turned.

"I will ask around." her tone was exactly that of someone who was extremely interested in the possibility, but loathe to reveal it in public.

I clicked off, and heard Willowing panting as he neared his climax.His rate was quite good, he must have been going hard out. Then with an eagle like screech, he let loose his load into me. They did not produce as much as a human, but still a respectable amount coated my ass. Willowing gasped, and fell down on top of me gently, exhausted by his efforts. I pulled him up on to my chest, and as his chest lay on mine, I stroked the back of his head and neck, and he closed his eyes in contentment.

"Alduin, you are such a bedfellow."he said, and I smiled.

"Well, let's show you how much of a bed fellow I can be." I said, and pressed my steel cock against his ass. He opened his eyes in surprise, feeling it against him.

"Oh Ja'ryaq, it feels so big. It'll never fit in me." he looked down.

"That's what you think." I winked at him, and he shivered, but relaxed, preparing for the sensation.

With both hands I grabbed his waist, and then began to press firmly against the avian's ass. He breath came short as he felt the cock making his ass open.He grunted and finally the steel member entered into him.He sighed, and then began to moan as I thrust in him.I did so very gently, but these avians were still more sensitive than anything I had came across. He moaned louder.

"unnnhh, every stroke presses hard against everything. It hurts and pleasures so much."

I thrust slightly harder, more pushing him back and forth on it than thrusting.He twitched, and made panting noises, which sounds strange coming from an avian, but it did sound something like it.After about a minute, I felt through my cock that his ass was lubricated, and I pulled nearly all the way out, confused.

Willowing turned, and saw the same sight. My cock had blood all over the tip.The steel had accidentally drawn blood, and the avian looked at me.

"I, I don't know what to say. I guess I can't take you." he stammered.

"No, it's my fault, I didn't know. Do you want me to stop?"

"No, Alduin, you deserve my ass, despite what it means. You saved my life and looked after me, a little pain is small payment."

With that, I resumed my stroke. It did feel slightly weird, fucking him while he was bleeding, but the avian was adamant that I should enjoy myself.I did work slowly throughout, I would ram him unconscious if I went at my normal speed, and with a howl, and a sudden thrust deep into him, which made him howl too, I ejaculated into him. He slumped after the sudden primal push, and gasped.

" My ass, it's so full, it, no, don't remove yourself." he held me in him, and held me. I began stroking his cock, and gently coaxed him into making out with me. He let go four more times, and I three more before the night fell, and Willowing fell asleep in my grasp, and still impaled upon my cock, and look of serene bliss on his face. At least both of us had enjoyed it, and I fell asleep not long after he had.

I woke up in the morning in Willowing's bed, the avian still slumbering next to me. I gently pulled my hands away from him, and gently got out of the bed so as not to disturb his slumber. As I pulled all my gear together, Silverine clicked on to my wavelength.

"Morning, Alduin, sleep well?"

"Never better, Silverine. We going tribe searching today?"

"Yes. Alex is bringing his ZR1, Doran's going to have his Lotus, and Alecto's probably firing up his Drakart as we speak. Ryan Godsey's going to do the aerial search in his Aurora form."

"So what's my purpose?"

"You are the contact. You will take Willowing, or whoever you suggest to each of the tribes, because you are technically the leader of us to them."

"I beg of you, don't fuck me when we get back, that was a complete accident."

Silverine roared with laughter, and I heard Abigail chuckling.

"Very clever, Alduin."she said.

"Were you talking with Silverine and he invited me, or did you just happen to tune in?"

"The first one, Alduin." the lioness replied," I should also mention that your car is ready?"

"My Atom? I thought we were keeping that at base in case we come across a fight."

"We are. I meant your other car."

"Oh, that car, right." I nodded to myself. There was the other car, recently purchased, even more recently fiddled around with by Abigail, and mostly untested.

"Wait, Alduin's got a new car?" Silverine sounded confused.

"Yes, hasn't he told anyone?"

"No, was he supposed to?" the Lupogriff replied.

"I haven't told everyone yet, because I was waiting for the right moment to do so. Today's a good day though. Tell me you haven't made the movie modifications."

"I saw that movie, it is a very nice idea, but I'm afraid even Central can't do what that car can."

"Is this something from Death Race?" Silverine asked.

But Abigail was delighting in speaking in riddles.

"No, it's from another movie Alduin showed me. And while it would be an incredible piece of engineering, it's not possible. Not even the glowers could possibly manage it."

"That's what I was waiting for. I didn't want it that capable.What colour is it?"

"Well let me put it this way, if you leave it unattended during the night, you'll never find it again." Abigail chuckled.

"That's a black car, isn't it?"

"One better. Stealth paint.Almost everything except the wheels and the windows have been painted in stealth black."

"This I gotta see." I smiled."So when's everyone arriving?"

"About ten minutes, so get dressed, and get one of the avians to show you how to get out of the temple."

"Noted."I nodded, and closed the link, quickly getting my armour and what little gear I had together. I slipped on my gloves just as Willowing awoke.

"Alduin, what are you doing? It's far too early in the morning."

"You are coming with me to meet firstly my friends and then the rest of your tribe. Time is of the essence, I have to get to my own planet before nightfall." Willowing hurriedly started grabbing his clothes together and getting dressed.

I drew my octo bonder out and opened the door, hurrying down the passage into the Great Hall. Silverine was there, talking with Kodey. Ryan came over.

"I'm to take one of them on my bike to follow Alecto, apparently one lot went into the forest and a bike is easier to manoeuvre among trees."

"Does anyone have a map of the area?"

Ryan drew a projector, and a 3d representation of the surrounding countryside covered about 5 by 5 feet of ground.

"This represents a map fifty kilometres by fifty, 2500 square kilometres.In the centre is our current base, the temple. according to what the others say, and what the scanner agrees, is a burnt out forest 37 kilometres from here. If you get there and go directly left, just at the end of scanner range is the beginnings of a new forest. To the right is lots of grassland, and directly on the other side is a very sandy area, not desert, but dry and hot. But there is a river running that way."He drew a line from the forest off the edge of the map to the dry area also off the edge of the map.

"So Ryan Viper will be doing the aerials, and us on the ground will spread out to find the tribes if they are camouflaged from the air. How will Ryan Viper tell us if he finds anything?"

"He has inboard scanners with J-DAM abilities, all he has to do is record the position, transmit that to the scanner, and it will land within ten feet of where he wants it to." Abigail replied, in our head sets. I rolled my eyes, and Ryan Lewis smiled, you could not turn Abigail off a technical discussion with out a brick, earplugs or a very fast teleport.

On our deadline, Jay, Willowing and seven others led us humble explorers out. Thomas was still quite happy running all our equipment from his hide, and he had thoughtfully placed a scanner in the middle of the stone arena where we had fought yesterday. We stopped, and Jay's company stopped seeing us do so.I could hear Willowing telling the others about the fact I had let him fuck me, and the quiet gasps of wonderment, and I smiled to myself.

After half a minute there was a loud bang, and Alex, Ryan Viper, Abigail, Doran and Alecto arrived. Ryan V. nodded at us, just as there was a loud gasp from the avians.

"I'm ready." the tiger nodded, and with a word from Silverine changed into his Aurora form. Abigail placed four cameras on him, began making checks on a hand held laptop that all cameras were working, with confirmation from Thomas, and then he was ready for take off. Silverine and myself picked up the tiger in his plane form, and pointed him completely vertical. I changed into my bionic form, as Silverine drew his shield and stood behind it. Abigail placed her shield in front of me, and Ryan ignited his engines.

The Aurora had phenomenal acceleration. Within two seconds he was two metres above ground, which doesn't sound much until you factor in the fact he was fighting gravity as well as a standing start, and then he just rocketed upwards on a white flame. After a couple of minutes, he announced he was at 18,000 feet, and he was heading towards the forest. Jay and company took us out of the temple, once they had closed their mouths and stopped shivering.

We walked past the door Thomas had said led to the ogre rooms, and there was utter silence from there. Silverine set up an X-Ray filter on his glasses, and said there was nothing in there. After ten minutes we came to the end of the temple.

Who ever built it certainly held a commanding view. It was on the side of a smallish hill, overlooking the unrolling vistas of green. Looking towards one direction, we could just see the still smoking remains of the forest, the long burning fire still smoking, although there wasn't much left to burn.

Looking to the left of that, there was about several kilometres before another forest. Looking the other way was just miles upon miles of green. I handed the scanner from the courtyard to Alex, and he placed it a good twenty metres away.Our vehicles arrived one after the other.

First to arrive was Alecto's Drakart.The buggy looked very nice in this light. Then came Ryan Lewis' bike. After that was the Lotus that Doran owned.Then came the car that I had not seen before.

Alex had a ZR1, in a magnificent blazing red, which went well with his hair, and it hunkered to the ground, although in saying that it was equipped with off road tyres for todays jaunt, as was the Lotus. Ryan's bike didn't have them, and Alecto's Drakart didn't have road tyres ever. Then as everyone stepped forwards to get their own cars, Silverine looked at me.

"Where's yours?"

"It's coming." I replied with a smile, hoping this indeed was the case.

There was a bang, and my car arrived in the centre of all this metal.

I laughed out loud.I just couldn't contain it, and I bent down holding my knees as I laughed.

"Abigail!"I wheezed,"You copied those huge air intakes, what are in them?"

"Well, the original said they were to cool the nuclear plant in the back of the car, but as this is a normal car, I thought we could plant ion rockets in them." Abigail said offhand, looking slightly worried at my laughing fit.

By now, you should have guessed exactly what car I had acquired, and what we had done with it. I had bought a De Lorean DMC 12 from 1985, and to give it a bit more wild look, Abigail had added the huge duel intakes and the bulked up engine centre where the flux capacitor and nuclear powerplant should have been. In short this looked practically like the Time Machine from Back to the Future. The only difference was the original was stainless steel coloured, this was a black that seemed to absorb light.

There was a pause as every one turned to look at me.

"That is ancient, 20 years at least." Ryan Lewis looked at my car critically.

"Twenty four, I think you'll find. But it seats two and a couple of halves, has a boot in the front, 2.6 litre V8 before whatever Abby did to it, and air conditioning."

"What was the top speed of that car in it's day?" Silverine asked.

"Errrr, about a hundred and ten miles an hour.What is it now, Abigail?"

"Well, due to the eight ion rockets in those intakes..." she began.

"Eight!" I coughed.

"I could fit four in each of them with no problem, and it was naturally air cooled, then I put a small Centralite radiator in the back where the fusion reactor was on the original." Abigail protested, while I ended up looking heavenward. Eight should make it capable of take off.

"But I got it up to 500 kilometres per hour, plus or minus ten according to my the digital display." the lioness finished.

"Three hundred miles an hour sounds good.Handling taken a whack, I expect, not to mention the efficiency." I rolled my eyes.

"Wrong there too. I fitted some of my own converters to the fuel tank. I was getting 71 miles to the gallon of fuel at 150 kph, maximum cruising. As for the handling, it was a tad heavy to start, but by god easy to steer. I kept it with that. You might want to try drifting that sucker a bit on tarmac roads, it is so easy to catch."

"This isn't my car. A De Lorean doing 71 mpg? Not possible." I ran over to it, and opened the gull wing doors.

"Oh, now that is cool.Gullwings weren't seen until Mercedes put them on 1960 or there abouts." Ryan Lewis smiled. This was a right hand drive De Lorean, it had always been that way, unlike Devlin's Ford GT, which was left hand drive, and Blake's Dodge Viper.This was obviously one shipped over seas.

I sunk into the cockpit, and looked around. No time circuits, no flux capacitor, no rear view mirror either, no rear windshield, just a sheet of steel where the glass should have been. A homely analogue speedo and dials bore testimony to the original condition, and the five on the floor manual was joy to the touch. There was something a lot more masculine about a manual gear box as opposed to the flappy panel gearboxes on many of the new super cars. The old stereo had been replaced with a single CD player and radio conversion, and the air conditioning buttons had all been polished.

I wasn't kidding about the halves either. You could not get Giancarlo or Draco in the back, but Jay or Kodey could. Even I could get in the back, albeit not the most comfy position without turning to the side.

I turned to look at the others, who were getting into their cars. Jay was going with Ryan Lewis, and was on a small seat on the back of the bike. He was holding Ryan tightly, as if expecting the motorbike to throw him off. Willowing came over to my car, and he opened the passenger door on the second go. He got into the front seat, confused by this weird object that he was sitting in.

"What is this?"

"It's designed to carry creatures from point A to point B faster than walking or flying." I said, with a understanding smile.Alex fired up the 'Vette, and it was answer by the Drakart and the bike. Doran's Lotus was not a snarling car, it was deceptively fast, like a mosquito. There was the other thing, Drakart, ZR1 and Lotus all had starter buttons, this was the only one that required you to turn the key in the ignition.

It whirred a couple of times, and then rumbled into life. This thing rumbled a bit, it was not till you boosted the revs when this thing got angry, and started shouting. The Corvette's engine note went up, Alex was trying to steal the show. Ryan's bike was not in with a chance of out yelling that, although his bike's whine was cool. The Drakart was like the Corvette, but not as gutsy.Then I, on this gravel path, locked the front wheels with the brake, and floored it.

All those who had been watching the Corvette rock to the sound of it's own engine note stared at me. This thing had a primal note, heralding back to the age of the Charger and the Mustang originals. But it also had power to beef up it's voice, being half of both. I stopped revving and looked at Alex through the window.

"That is nice, but this came from a time and place where revving was important."

"Yes, yes, it sounds nice. It's still older than you are." Alex made a face.

"The best cars are not halted by the ravages of time, Alex Dowski. I know, one of these travelled through it.Willowing, hold tight, we are off."

Willowing was wondering desperately why the car was shaking so, and I did up his seat belt. I released the brake, turned the wheel to go towards our first destination, and floored it.

I must have moved half the bloody hill on take off. In my rear view mirrors the dark purple Lotus disappeared under a explosion of dust, and I took off down the hill. Willowing gripped the arm rest on the door, his claws digging in.

"We're moving, this thing goes by itself!"

"No, it is mechanical. It is like a sword, it can't do anything by itself, but if some person knows how to use it, it works."

I could see behind me, the Corvette ZR1 was coming after me across the gentle slope. Only the flat in front of the temple was gravel, this very quickly turned to stubble grass. Doran was heading directly towards the wrecked forest, and Alecto was a vanishing dot going towards the other forest. Ryan Lewis was following Alecto. The rest of both avians are our group were turning to go back into the temple.

I slowed down to let the Corvette catch up, and we drove side by side over the slightly unstable ground.Even Alex agreed that the De Lorean was better over this ground than the Vette, it had the better suspension, and his front splitter was lawn mowing the grass along with the occasional rock.It was made for speed, my car wasn't, so the nose was a lot more risen than his.Willowing could probably crawl under the DMC 12 were it not for his wings.

Willowing slowly became familiar with the bouncing gait of the car, although all three of us had a momentary surprise as we went over a verge. I lurched quite a bit sideways, and Alex left a groove with his hardened splitter along the mud, the shaped metal acting like a plough for five metres, ripping up the turf. I mocked Alex at this point that he was becoming a daisy cutter, and he asked me whether I cared for a race.

After ten minutes, Ryan Viper spoke on our wave length.

"I've found the avians in the forest, I'm here to help you now."

"Righto, Ryan. Can you see anything?"

"About twenty-twenty five miles ahead is a small lake, and I think I can just catch smoke. I'll fly ahead, and if they are there, I'll drop a J-DAM scanner."

"Acknowledged, Viper. Are we heading towards it on a degree?"

"No, you will miss it by a mile, abouts, so turn slightly to your left." this was remedied, and we watched as the futuristic plane flew ahead. After two minutes, he spoke again.

"It is the village. I have my location, I'm dropping a scanner now."

This worked like a bomb, and he carried three of these special scanners and three normal 2 pound bombs. 2 pound was about one of my own bombs weighed.

After thirty seconds, Ryan spoke.

"Scanner is in position, opening transmission."

Both me and Alex interlinked our glasses, and we drove towards the scanner. One way these glasses worked was if you were looking at a scanner, it would give you the distance and terrain for that scanner up to fifty kilometres.Nearly everyone always carried a scanner, because should the worst happen and you lose your teleporter, your friends could always find you.
