POST SCRIPT

Hunter couldn't understand why his body failed to respond. He struggled to open his eyes but they refused to comply. He could not raise an arm, feel his legs, or wiggle his toes and it was beginning to frighten him. However, it was his thoughts and dreams, which truly frightened him. He had strange but vivid dreams of the most beautify creature he never known. He could still hear her calling out to him. The pain he felt at the loss of her touch was unbearable. He couldn't understand how his insane dreams could cause such sadness. However, his faded memory was slowly returning. His mind was beginning to cast off the fog and confusion, which had imprisoned his thoughts before he began to recognize familiar sounds and scents. 'Ah, yes, he was sure his eyes were actually moving under his rebellious lids. If he could just open them, he would know what had happened to him.'

"Hunter... Hunter," Charlet whispered as she stroked his ear in an attempt to stifle his whimpers, while her husband gently wiped away the poor man's tears. She knew she should be happy the man survived but she couldn't hide her tears as his eyes finally fluttered open. "I have kept my promise. The Canis are free. The Equine and Lepu are as well. You have motivated the Galactic community to recognize all of them as equals. Well, except for the humans. No one seems to know what they are doing. However, the Ruling Council has decided you are too dangerous. That is why they have brought you here. They wouldn't allow you to stay with us. I... I... am... so sorry," she explained until her sadness choked off her words. She couldn't bear to the look of his sad eyes. She found her steps were incredibly heavy as she left the great man imprisoned on the forest floor.

"I am sorry, Hunter," Tyberius declared with strain in his voice. "We did everything we could. They did agree to let us leave you some gifts. Tyrell loaded a couple personal devices with some images of our time together... and damn it man... this is hard for us too," he complained as he wiped the dampness from his face and tried to ignore the man's sobs. "You can't see the containers from here, but go north. You... I can't say more... I... have to go," he tried to explain quickly but they had already come for him. This was the best he could do and it shamed him. He followed the soldiers back to the shuttle while Hunter's howls tore at his soul.

"Fuck he is deceased," the stag declared with disgust.

"You will show respect in this place or I will sell that pretty head of yours to a Human tourist," Kleio swore with a glare.

"Is there something important about this place?" Burmese questioned as he covered his nose to fend off the smell.

"Those three boulders are not natural like that. He has placed them there at the base of his mountain. If I understand the stories correctly, those boulders would be the marker to his mother's grave," Kleio answered before he edged forward. "Get up Hunter," he instructed before he drew one of his blades to nudge the strange critters eating at Hunter's flesh away. However, the sight of the last critter as he crawled from under Hunter's skin was nearly too much for his stomach. "If you must vomit, do it away from here," he snarled at the stag once he heard the man wretch. "Hunter, if you don't get up. I will have one of these studs mark you," he threatened as he continued to glare at the stag to make sure he didn't vomit on Hunter's mother's grave. "Arion piss on his nose," he added but there was no need to do more as Hunter's eye snapped open.

"I will carry him back to the shuttle where we can clean him. You will fix him up before she sees him. Kleio, it would be greatly appreciated if you continued to keep anything from eating us... no matter how small the critter may be," Arion declared before he bent over to gather what remained of his friend.

"You finally found him," Faline declared with great sadness as she examined what remained of the great Lupus and friend. It had taken weeks to find him despite their best efforts. None of their technology seemed to work near that strange mountain of thunder and lightning and she hoped it hadn't taken them too long. It was hard to tell by what she could see of him. "What have you done, Hunter?" she began to scold with a shake of her head. "Clean him up and force him to eat if you must. I will not let her see him like this," she declared with conviction.

"Well how is he?" Faline inquired with a scowl for Hunter's famished form.

"I have used the dermal regenerator as much as I dare in his famished state. He no longer has any open wounds or sores. However, I don't dare attempt to regenerate any of his flesh until he takes some nourishment. I have tried to feed him intravenously. However... he can snap off the needles with what remains of his flesh. I have never heard of anything like that previously. Of course, I have never heard of anyone able to regenerate, as he is supposedly capable of doing either. Nevertheless, he refuses to do that as well. Despite my best efforts, all I have accomplished is cleaning him and repairing his skin. I have managed to inject him a few times when he falls unconscious, but he will eventually die if he doesn't eat," the stag reported with a bow.

"You will figure something out or I will let Kleio make a feast of you," Faline swore with a curse under her breath. "Hunter, quit being a stubborn ass and eat damn it. She wants to...," she began to scold before she heard Sylvy enter the medical bay.

"Leave this man to me," Sylvy instructed with a scowl that dared any to stall her reunion with Hunter any longer. The sight of his nearly skeletal body broke her heart as she stood at the side of his bed. She never even noticed how her hand now went to comfort him by stoking his ear as if by instinct. "Hunter you will eat. You will do this for me," she declared before she reached for a piece of raw flesh on a table nearby. She put the meat in her mouth and chewed it before she bent to place her lips to his. She forced her tongue in his mouth, before she spit the chewed flesh into his mouth. She continued to use her tongue to force it down his throat until he was forced to swallow. "I can do this all day," she promised with a grin for his stubborn glare. She continued to force the raw flesh down his throat until he finally regained the strength to move his head away from her. "Why? Why Hunter," she asked as her tears ran down her face for his stubbornness.

"I am broken. Life is too painful for me to bear. This is the only way I know how to end my suffering," Hunter replied with a weak and strained voice.

"You are bent not broken... You must eat. You must eat for me. If we are ever to be together, you must eat," Sylvy instructed as she held his head to force him to look at her.

"They will never allow it. I should never have been. My original sin... my crime is to exist, but not for much longer," Hunter replied as he tried to look away from her in his shame.

"You stop that nonsense. I will have Arion hold you down if I have to but I will force this entire table of meat down your throat. I will not allow you to die on me," Sylvy swore before she picked up a larger chunk of meat.

"Why? Why torment me so?" Hunter pleaded with a whimper.

"I must have you prepared for what comes and soon. The others will be here very soon. Nearly five thousand Canis refuse to return to their families. They didn't like their treatment amongst the Draconis and they wished to be returned here. They demand to be returned to their home planet the planet of the Canis and now Lupus. I am told that all but a handful are female Canis. I have heard those female Canis have been licking and petting each other something fierce in attempt to force their heat. It is believed they all intend to be bred by the great Lupus," Sylvy answered with a grin as she struggled between her desire to be there to watch him breed everyone of them and her jealously that he could not breed her.

"I will not. I belong to you. It is forbidden," Hunter protested as his conviction faltered. He let her force more of the flesh between his lips and he swallowed before he realized it.

"You once told me that you could never give me the family I deserve. I not only want you to do this, but I demand it. I demand you give me the family I deserve. You breed me a family. I want a son, who will look just like you. I want you to teach our son about honor and loyalty. I want you to teach our son how to hunt and protect his family. I want him to produce my grandchildren. I want these things; because Faline has been, busy smuggling two full colony kits to this planet. You will need a large family if you plan to build a colony of Canis and Lupus. You will need a large family if you are to build mines and factories. I want my family to build a small spaceport, where you can launch your own ship. I will wait for you to find your way home to me," Sylvy instructed before she forced more meat into his mouth.

"It would take millennia to develop what you ask," Hunter protested as he accepted more meat.

"If you had taken the time to open your gifts, you would have found all has been provided. Tyrell had downloaded all the technology he had access to external hard drives hidden in the meat in the refrigerated containers. Everyone has contributed. Faline and the Catain have shared technology with you that they do not share with the Draconis. Tyrell purchased enough interfaces to implant an entire civilization from the proceeds of the video of you. You will not have to develop anything. You merely have to assemble it," Sylvy corrected with a grin once he began to let him feed him by hand.

"I don't know if I could bear being separated for so long," Hunter grumbled with a pout.

"You can and will. I promise to make it up to you when I see you again," Sylvy swore with a grin.

"If you ask this of me, then I have a request as well," Hunter replied with a frown.

"I will do anything I can for you," Sylvy promised as her heart began to sore.

"If I can give you a family, then I expect the same from you. When you leave me here, you return home and put an honest effort into finding a nice Draconis male. You give me a daughter or granddaughter who looks like you. I want to see my family when I find my way home," Hunter proposed with a scowl that dared her to deny his fair request.

"Deal," Sylvy declared before she sealed it with a kiss.

Tyrell woke with a start. He wiped the dampness from his face, before his hand found its way to Rose's sensitive ear. He never even realized he began to stroke it tenderly.

"Another bad dream?" Rose questioned before she rolled over to face him.

"I... yeah...," Tyrell admitted reluctantly.

"They are not coming to take me away," Rose tried to reassure.

"I know... I just can't stop... It is my nightmare. I fear nothing else," Tyrell tried to explain.

"I... if you don't stop rubbing my ears, you are going to have to finish what you are starting," Rose teased before she began trying to coax his manhood from its home. "Honestly, I do not know what you will do when you return to your university," she added with a grin as he began to thicken in her hand.

"I am not going back," Tyrell finally told her.

"But... it is so important to you," Rose replied with genuine concern.

"It was important... A lot of things don't seem as important as they used to be," Tyrell tried to explain. "I tried to work on my projects... I just can't bear the thought of my encryption and decryption software would be used by the likes of them. I have tried to think of new projects, but it no longer appeals to me. I can't sit at my computer without thinking about what has happened to him," he struggled to continue until he was forced to pull her closer to him for strength.

"What will you do?" Rose asked as she returned his embrace.

"I don't know. I think I will have to take care of the ranch for a while. Mom and dad are not the same since they returned. I don't think dad has been able to force himself to enter the barn since Hunter's departure. I watched him stand in front of the barn, while he held the door handle and just stared. He stood there until you called him in to lunch. Mom isn't much better. I caught her staring at her monitor the other day. It wasn't even activated. She just sat there staring while tears slid from her face. Neither of them will sleep in their room. They sleep on the couches or in a chair in the den. Last night they slept on a blanket, laid out on the lawn underneath the stars. I will not even discuss their constant humping each other. I swear I have only seen them together without them carrying on a couple times unless they are actually eating dinner. I understand mom being a little lost after being removed from office, but this just isn't normal," Tyrell explained with a sigh without realizing his hand had found its way back to her soft ear.

"I know what you mean about that. I don't call him in for lunch until the table is set or he will bend your mother over the table. But... but will you be happy running the ranch," Rose asked with a shudder as she tried to ignore her flesh responding to his touch.

"I am happy as long as you are with me. You wouldn't think less of me for being a rancher would you," Tyrell questioned as he rolled over on top of her to let his leaking flesh rub against her soft belly.

"I would love you no matter...," Rose began but decided it would be best just to show him.

"I have a favor to ask of you," Kleio announced as he knelt before his friend.

"Will you stop that?" Hunter replied awkwardly before he forced his friend to his feet. "I don't have any idea what I can do for you, but if I can I will. You have saved me twice, now," he added once the man finally met his eyes.

"I want you to take care of Yazhi. I want you to keep him safe," Kleio nearly begged and decided he would if it were necessary.

"No, I belong with you," Yazhi declared as his heart began to pound in his chest.

"Where I am going is no place for you. I could not bear it if something happened to you. If you stay here with Hunter, I will know you are safe. I have come to care for you greatly," Kleio explained but failed to meet his lover's eyes.

"Nearly everything on this planet will want to eat him," Hunter protested once he recovered from the shock at the request.

"Can't blame them for that," Kleio joked weakly. "Don't make me beg Hunter. There is no safe place for him. You know this. Besides he will have to take care of you to make sure you don't lose your shit when we leave," he added as his sadness washed over him.

"I... I...," Hunter began to protest, but his words failed him. "Bend over," he instructed as he turned to Yazhi. It surprised him to see how quickly the man responded to his request, but he also knew this was why the man would not be safe anywhere unless he was protected by someone stronger. He took a deep breath and let out a sigh of resignation as he marked Yazhi with his urine. "It will protect you from any other Canis, and a good number of other predators. You will have to stay close to me until I can figure out how to keep you safe," he added as he reluctantly assumed responsibility for the man's life, before he turned to the last to say their goodbyes. "You realize this is quite possibly the most painful thing I have ever done willingly," he whimpered as he held onto her with his shaking arm.

"I know, but I will be waiting for you to find your way home," Sylvy replied before she buried her sobs in his chest.

"We have to go. The other ships will be here in a few hours. We can't be here when they arrive," Faline announced nervously. She had no intention to let the ruling council know of her deceit.

Hunter's heart couldn't take much more of this. It took all of his gathered strength to force his arms to release her. His legs failed him as he watched her board the shuttle and he howled in agony as the shuttle rose in the sky.

Yazhi knelt at Hunter's side, before he took the big man into his arms. He let the man's tears dampen his fur as he stroked his ears in a futile effort to calm him. He would take care of his friend for Kleio and the man would take care of him.
