Chapter 65 Nursing a Dark Tale





“Hurry Demon put me down quickly right next to the that lovely fire, so I can feed my little Bud, and you handsome Wizard give me my boy now… he has waited much to long to nurse!”



“Yes madam he hungers quite badly for he bit my finger, and I think the tiny wee thing’s pointed teeth drew blood and he tried suckle it?”



For some perverse reason, the little lady dwarf found that quite amusing for she laughed loudly about the actions of her hungry impatient infant.



Right away Drakk placed the strongly wiggling bundle he carried and set it down in front of the fire, so the creature was seated with its back against a smooth boulder. Impatiently the mysterious tiny creature kicked and tossed about until it freed itself form the concealing cloak that had been securely wrapped around it, reveal a very small 3 and a half-foot tall dwarf with long bright auburn braided and beaded hair that came down its waist. Sheered Deer Leather and soft Squirrel fur covered the small slender creature from head to toe all the ways the down to the tiny leather boots that covered it’s feet. A petite curling tuff of auburn hair hung from its tiny chin and tied with vivid golden silk ribbon, even though it was quite obvious that it was a female Dwarf for it had delicate feature, narrow shoulders, and large wide eyes auburn flecked with gold and amber an prominent round ruddy cheeks on its rich tan skin and a small perfect red mouth like that of a child.



An audience of three stared in fascination at this uncommon sight. Male Dwarves were rare, but female dwarves were even rarer in those days for they were nearly exterminated in last ruthless wars between Dwarves and Elves. Independent and freedom loving the small ones preferred to hide in their caves and refused to do the biding of more powerful cruel overbearing elves. The truth was Dwarves hated humans only slightly a bit less than the elves, but only would attack humans, if human dared to attack them first or invaded their home caves and very special mines. Elves on the other hand were killed on sight with the dwarfs’ ruthless poison crossbows bolts.



“Please hurry wizard… I can sense my boy’s hunger” She frowned and demanded holding out her arms eagerly to take him.



Tiny Bud must have heard his mother’s voice, for instantly he started to fuss and squeal even louder as Seer’ Reign held the round withering twisting newborn firmly in both hands so he wouldn’t drop it. Just for a brief minute the dark wizard was surprisingly reluctant to give up his innocent diminutive burden, even if it was back too his mother. An infant was the last thing he needed to be bonded too anyway… his nature was much too dark and evil…what was he thinking Bud needed his mother more. Quickly he shoved the little burden into its mother’s hands and turned away and stepped back into the shadows. Behind him he heard the baby dwarf coo back at his mother, as she spoke to him in the language of dwarves before placing him quickly to her exposed breast to suckle. The enthusiastic little creature suckled and slurped louder and louder as if he’d never be filled. And Darkness found he was smiling with amusement for no apparent reason.



“Come Feles and Drakk, give the little lady some privacy, and one of you fix me a bowl of that delicious meatless stew and an a hot drink of camp tea, while another goes and collects more wood and grass to keep the fire going for remainder of the night.” Darkness fiercely ordered strongly leaving no opening for an argument from his companions.



“Feles love since you been so cold with your wet boots, let me go fetch the fuel for the fire, but don’t forget to feed my Lord and his little lady guest and I wont be long, just be sure you leave some of that hot stew for me when I return,” Said Drakk.



“Swell no meat… cold freezing feet and now I must be a servant.” Grumble a loud cranky Fe as he headed toward the fire, but purposely he looked away from the dwarf and her tiny baby so not to intrude their privacy. He had no more than reached the fire to stir stew, when suddenly he was pushed down from behind to the hard stony cave floor with a not to gentle thump and than his wet boots were forcefully pulled off one after another from his nearly frozen bare feet. Briefly both feet were held and rubbed vigorously nearly to the point of pain, before being carefully propped up along side the fire while dry pair of long heavy thick wool sock were thrown in his lap along with a small towel. Then a loud growling furious Darkness ordered.



“ Luckily there is no sign of frost bite, just dry your feet boy and put on the wool socks, and then keep your feet close to the fire until they’re back to normal. You little shit, why aren’t you wearing socks anyway with your boots, you foolish whore. Who wants a frost bitten whore, who is missing part of his dainty feet and his toes; surly it would be bad for business. Don’t speak Fe just do what I fucking tell you, or would you prefer I knock you on your ass and do it for you. You stupid lazy bitch!”



Darkness’ anger seemed very dangerously close to surface for no good reason, so Feles thought it best to do as he was ordered and do it in silence. After what seemed like hours but was really was a lot shorter time Feles no longer was so cold and uncomfortable was feeling a lot better from sitting in front of the warm fire, even his feet felt almost back to normal. A bowl of hot stew with a spoon was shoved into Fe’s hands by Darkness without a word; Fe took it without a word, except for the loud growlingly sounds of his empty stomach. He watch as the wizard handed a bowl of the stew to the female dwarf… she took it with a grateful smile at same time stroking the head of little Bud who was deeply sleeping sated with milk, who lay sleeping across her lap in nothing but a small cloth wrapped around his tiny loins. It almost seemed impossible that anything that small could be alive and living, but Bud was most certainly alive for one tiny fist rose in air as if he was deeply dreaming and reaching for something or someone only he could see.



When both the dwarf and he finished their stew, a brooding Darkness returned to take their bowls and replaced them with wooden cups full of hot rich tea that after two or three swallow seemed instantly to make Fe very sleepy, but he forced himself to drink all of it just for the warmth. Drakk should be back by now; Fe all at once ached to be held in the demon’s strong warm embrace. He waited and waited but finally exhaustion overwhelmed him and slipped quietly into sleep.



Ooooo



A very lethargic Feles woke some time later to the crackling sounds of someone stacking wood on the fire, and felt the warmth as the fire flared up and a wave of heat flowed over him, next a huge body plunked itself down right along side of him. It was Drakk. Next he found himself embraced tightly in a pair of huge strong arm and a kiss was pressed against his hair, even though it was messy, filthy, and badly in need of being washed in the worst way. His demon lover didn’t seem to mind. Fe rose sleepily to go get Drakk some of dry nearly scorched stew. The red head noticed that Darkness lay sleeping soundly nearby he had made a simple camp bed out of some horse blankets and using a saddle as a pillow and he was curled up beside the fire not far from the snoring dwarf lady and her sleeping baby.



As Feles handed his lover the bowl of stew and a spoon he ask quietly so as not to wake the others, “Drakk love what took you so long to gather wood and debris I was starting to worry? And the demon took the bowl from him; he made a groaning sound of utter exhaustion.



“Thanks Fe Love but I am almost too tired to eat, but I will anyway just to warm up my belly.” So he continued to talk quietly in between mouthful. “While I was gone, I took a walk and left the cave and went outside to see if the snow storm had stopped or let up. I discovered to my horror and disgust that the mountain storm is still going strong and it looks like it going to last for several more days, delaying are rescue even further. It seems we will be trapped in this cave for sometime. I am dreadfully worried about pretty little delicate Keylyn being left in the hands of those deviate vile elves and their fiendish Master. Will the boy still be alive or even totally sane when we finally get to him? Even though the foul elf wizard master is my father he is a total abusive beast, he so delighted in hurting the child I was before I escaped with Seer’ Reign. If it wasn’t for Darkness I’d be long dead at the hands of my father by now, he saved me that’s why I owe him. Now that my-so-called father is an undead Vampire he is likely even more of a monster now… than he was before.”



“My love, how did he have a son like you, if he was a vampire?”



“I was born long before he became a vampire, that is a recent develop likely now he simply wants to exist forever. In the past he dealt regularly with the demon realm on a regular basis trading favors and magic. He purchased my demon mother from another demon lord, for certain unknown magical services as well as trading willingly his black soul for more power. He quickly impregnated her by force using his magick and then twelve or so months later I was born. The rumor was she must have rebelled against him a year or so after that and he had her killed, for trying to assassinate him, I was too young to remember much about her, but him unfortunately I remember all to well for it amused him to rape me repeatedly, starting, when I was about the age six or seven… his excuse was I belonged to him and such acts would only make me stronger. It was then during one of sick deviate bedroom session in the master’s bed that I met little Seery as the master called him. He was recent captive that the master quickly corrupted with dark magic’s, which made him the master’s willing minion, repeatedly using him over and over until Seer’ Reign had no option but to accept his state as the master sexual plaything and child whore. It amused my father to make us perform sexual acts together while he looked on and then there were other times he would simply take turns with us, using us until we were left bloody and screaming in pain. Then one night he nearly killed me as Seer’ Reign looked on. After that Seer’ Reign though he hide it well, changed and he was not so willing to be the total passive pet he was previously. The older he got the magic power he inherited from his mother bloomed, grew stronger and multiplied to a phenomenal level, even though my monster of a father tried find a way to steal his magic away for himself. Seer’ Reign somehow was able to resist him and yet not giving away the truth of his rebellion. Then one day after several years of constant brutal abuse Seer’ Reign broken in to one my father’s magical chests and stole several important magic items, and then next thing I new my head was spinning at the exciting prospect of escape… I was ten and Darkness was fourteen. Then the next thing I new we each were on horse riding fast as we could away from my father’s fortress and we didn’t look back, not even once.



Suddenly a sarcastic chuckle broke the silence of the cave and a familiar yawning voice hissed, “And in the end they both lived happily ever after!” Then came more of Seer’ Reign’s feigned laughter as if he endeavored to demean the demon’s story and make it seem just like a bad evil fairy tail. “Shut up, Drakk, you’ll give your little redheaded lover bad dreams and he wont be able sleep and thus he will slow us down on the trail tomorrow.”



“My Lord Seer’ Reign, I am sorry to say, we wont be on the trail tomorrow or the next day either, the blizzard continues, we will be stuck here several more days at least before we are able to rescue Keylyn.”



Then abruptly the wizard suddenly went silent… as if he shut down completely, and then he let out a long heavy sigh of overwhelming distress, covered his head with a blanket and curled up into a nearly fetal position as if he wanted to shut out the world and disappear from it.



Feles found himself growing nauseous and he trembling in revulsion and shaken horribly by the story that Drakk told, for it wasn’t just a fairy tale…it was real… and…and they were going back into that perverse place of such hideousness evil and unfortunate he too was going with them. Darkness was right he wasn’t going to be able to sleep anymore that night. Maybe Feles was a male whore, but he was never abused over and over as a very young child… he was nearly an adult when chose his lifestyle, knowing full well what he was in for and what his special reasons were. Perhaps Darkness had a number of good motives for being such a cruel insane bastard at times, and Fe in spite of their past relationship just for a very brief ridiculous minute considered going over and taking the wizard in his arms and holding him tightly to comfort him… especially since Key wasn’t there to do it. But very likely the wizard would only coldly curse him and refuse such tender consolation, or would simply mistake it for base lust and try to fuck him. Undoubtedly that would very likely upset Drakk, so instead he rolled over and embraced the big demon for warmth even if he couldn’t sleep, and found himself frantically choking back a sob of both fear and grief, as he felt a large tear roll down his cheek.
