tDA WIP (Developing Early+StoryboardingLater)

(append: ?SideBar)[\ SideBar implementation is later: $work Big WIP: $location ] This is a gay adult text-based game. ''It is intended for those 18 and older only.''

{ Hello! I'm KoboldCard, the creator of The Dragon's Assassin! This game is about the protagonist(you), an elf soldier who has been tasked with taking down a dangerous dragonkin knight. My goal is for each descision you make to have an effect either immediately or later down the line. As this is a prototype build, there is not much content, and all content is subject to change and undergo rewrites if deemed necessary! Feel free to explore each available descision so you get an idea of this game's future scope! This game has several hidden triggers and stats, early descisions will have an effect! This game is currently considered a prototype, and will be until there is at least one ending. Unlike previous versions of the game, from this point forward you will see choices that are crossed out ~~LIKE THIS~~ This means that choice's content is currently WIP. You will see more and more crossed out things as more routes are partially developed. The game's scope is very //wide//. There are many routes, endings, and choices planned. Like your ancestry tree, it's very... very long and somewhat convoluted in places. Many of the characters in the game have a... particular personality. Even when things don't go the protagonists way, they go his way if you catch my meaning. |links>[{ (link: "Select protagonist's name?

One really can't blame them, there are very few elves that have a large, almost bulk, appearance like mine. My military service is something I am proud of: The people that I serve beside and the kingdom in which we reign are truly great.

At times, my kind are looked at as pompous and power hungry, probably as a result of either jealousy or fear from people who live shorter lives. I do have to admit the stereotyping isn't just based in these feelings, though. There are more than a few elves of those type, and it's hard not to make assumptions when many of us keep reputations like that for a few hundred years at a time. This wouldn't all bother me but, it's just that... well... I get lonely at times. Fellow elves are hierarchically my superiors, and most humans give me the cold shoulder. I used to have a few human friends in my younger years, but old age got to them. Friendship is truely a craving of mine. Oh, what I'd give to have a true companion these days. There are people in my field to talk to, so I'm not completely deprived of sentient interaction, but I wish to have someone to joke with once in a while, or at least talk of something unrelated to (if:$magprof is 1)[magic and the related arts, though I love it](if:$dexprof is 1)[//talking//, though I prize my work](if:$strprof is 1)[training and working on myself, though it keeps me focused].

I wonder why he more or less reserved his service to an office job; He's got a hundred years of his prime left in him at least. With a sharp turn, Captain Haleon walks past me to the other side of the room, rubbing on one of his many expensive rings with his head low as if in deep thought.

I have never seen a superior, let alone a captain, show this odd amount of emotion before. His slow rummage of the table's contents continue for a few moments. Suddenly, his head drops and shoulders bounce a slight bit. I stare in awe as a quiet sniffle emanates from the Captain. Is he //crying in front of me?// |HaleonSad1>[{ (link: "//I wonder what is causing this damn near pathetic show...//")[ (replace: ?HaleonSad1)[//I wonder what is causing this damn near pathetic show...//] (show: ?HaleonReplySad1) ] }] ] ] |replylinks52)[ This dragon sounds quite impressive, in the terrifying sense if no other. //The prospect of a man breathing fire and lobbing off limbs is simply... inspiring.// Fortunately I was never on the front lines in the war between our nations, or I fear I would not be standing here still.

Is he the one who gave you that scar?"] I'm not being subtle with my interest in the slightest, and I don't care. Haleon turns to look me in the eye. An inquisitive look stains his face. He taps a finger on the table behind him as he thinks of how to respond. (text-colour:#d1e)["Yes, by cosmic chance, he is. And I gave him a few scars to remember me by in the process. The reasons we both remain alive are complicated..."] (text-colour:cyan)["Everything about him seems complicated. What is his appearance like?

This does get my mind running a little. I've seen depictions of a dragon's appearance in an anatomy book. From head to tail to toe- or is it claw for them?- everything has a strong appearance. Maybe it is just my imagination expanding on a few second hand examples, but dragons seem like a naturally muscular breed. Even better this //specimen// is a battle hardened //knight//. //This last part is particularly engrossing.// (text-colour:cyan)["Yes, I suppose I truly am!

(text-colour:#d1e)["And, you understand you are being tasked with killing not goggling, yes? You cannot find yourself... distracted. This dragon //will take advantage// if given the opportunity."] I really cannot tell if that was an innuendo or not, the lesser-told stories of dragons being an especially horny group only points to that.

As a knight, this dragon would surely have had access to at least a small portion of incredible information! Even aside from all that, I imagine his point of view on the world would be insightful. And what a mysterious figure he is! The reasons for staying in our land for so long must be riveting. (text-colour:cyan)["How can I not be! Dragons are an ancient people, even under these circumstances meeting one will be some sort of educational."] A nostalgic smirk graces Haleon's lips for a moment, before returning to its previous melancholy state.

''Opinion'' - Designated as $DragonOpinion. The higher, the less violent, aggressive, and rough Kolban will be with general treatment. Thresholds: * 150, Friendly * 125, Liked * 100, Neutral (Default) * 75, Disliked * 50, Hated ''Lust'' - Designated as $DragonAffection. A metric of both how Kolban treats the protagonist and the protagonist's perception of this treatment during sexual activity. (Note-He's a rough top) Thresholds: * 150, Loving ~~(Threshold may get cut?)~~ * 125, Affectionate * 75, Aggressive-con (Default) * 50, Forceful-noncon * 25, Cruel-noncon It will probably be not possible to have high relations in one threshold type, but low relations in another. Kolban's experiences are the primary contributor for these stats, but not until he meets the protagonist. When they meet, many of options for actions and dialogue will be based on threshold values and previous choices, these first interactions will be what makes or breaks Kolban's opinions and affection towards the protagonist, setting up routes down the road. This is to help it feel consistent as the some later interactions will not have much choice or additional buy-in. Threshold values also effect the protagonist's reactions to Kolban's actions. If you are trying to be hated, you will be hated, or vise-versa. At certain points, the threshold values will determine entire routes being atainable. There'll be a several endings using the following categories: Affection, Good, Neutral, Bad, and Punished(death/game over). A side objective the protagonist can take on is reuniting Kolban and Haleon, obviously with some routes this will not be possible. ''Planned endingss'': * Affection, New Favorite Elf (Kolban chooses protagonist as new lover; struggle partially resolved) * Affection, -- (Protagonist and Kolban become lovers and leave the country; struggle not resolved) * Good, Lovers' Reunion (Protagonist brings Haleon and Kolban back together; struggle resolved) * Neutral, * Bad, Used and Abused (Protagonist became cumdump and was left; struggle not resolved) * Punished, -- (Protagonist is killed while fighting with Kolban; struggle not resolved) * Punished, -- (Protagonist angers Kolban, Kolban gives a slow death; struggle not resolved)

There are three important characters in this game, those being Captain Haleon, Knight Kolban, and the protagonist (default is Grayson). The Protagonist: * Who the player controls. * An elf soldier, specialty and body type is customizable. * Personality varies based on player descisions. * 5' 11", pale skin, blue eyes, physicality varies, bottom as far as this game is considered, 5.5-incher. Haleon: * An ally of the protagonist. * An elf spell-sword, ranked rather high in the military. * Well-mannered, but distraught at the start of the game. Tasking the player with killing his ex-lover who he still feels for is very troublesome. * 6' 0", pale skin, brown eyes, handsome, well-built, (usually) bottom, 5-incher.

There is also that peculiar way the bridge was destroyed... the dragon is also an agent of another country. This is likely a form of sabotage, no two ways about it.

{ This is about the bridge that connects L'Roban with two seemingly related locations, those being Moree village and the Skywoods. The bridge itself is massive, connecting two large hills over a river that was previously very difficult to move through. It's been dubbed the Queen's Bridge - Our king did not see the reason for such an expensive endeavor, but the queen pushed it. Apparently it's been worth it, connecting a fairly large part of the kingdom over the last decade it has existed. I heard about this collapse last week, many traders and royalty are quite displeased.

While thankfully nobody was hurt as this happened at night when no one was around, maybe we'd have an idea of the culprit if there had been! The only thing we have to go off of is a child of a bridge cleaner who claims to have seen an orange and red 'monster-man' walking under the bridge several times over the last month.

Even with my training, I'll have trouble winning a race versus anyone while it's donned. But don it I do. This takes some time, while I may look the part, I'm not actually a knight and thus have no squire to assist me. In addition, I grab a day pack, long sword, and small, hand-sized, crossbow with a set of bolts. Making sure to save punctuality, I break a sweat by the time I'm stepping out from the fortification and onto the streets. ]I make sure to take in my surroundings, with my mission in mind I may never return to Origuard. L'Roban's greatest city is beautiful and bustling with life as it has for the last several centuries and as it shall until the end of time. Boarding the stagecoach, I take in one last breath. (link-reveal:"I'm ready.")[ I give a nod and the man and woman guiding the coach waste no time. We're off and passing through the city with an amount of efficiency I don't see often.

It's gone from day to night to day again since we've set out and this is just one of many times I've fallen asleep. I snap awake and stretch. Sleeping on what is effectively a bench isn't great for the back, so I'm a little sore. On top of that, I'm surprised I actually fell asleep so easily. It was a bumpy ride. Never mind that, let's see where they're dropping me off. Looking out the small window next to me, I can see we're indeed //at// the Queen's Bridge. That report did not do the pure destruction justice... I'll get a closer look. Thanking the drivers, I learn that they'll return to this location every day at noon. I depart from the stagecoach and make my way towards the edge of what's left of the bridge... and thankfully I'm not too afraid of heights. The Queen's Bridge previously connected two roads over a hundred-foot high valley. What's left is an immense amount of rubble. There are dozens of workers repairing and rebuilding what they can, while several dozen more are clearing out what's left of the bridge far below. Some look to be mages, the marvels of efficiency magic can be is something anyone could appreciate. There's a river down there as well, the same one I'll be traversing soon. That reminds me, I have not yet decided which direction I'll go in first: North or South. I look down at the river from left to right. I'm currently at the western side. If I recall correctly, the river's mouth isn't very far north and the river splits into a delta not very far south... it's not a long river, but it is a very inconveniently placed one. I don't see how either option could be more right or more wrong than the other, at least with my currently quite limited information. Taking a small and flat silver piece from my pocket, (link-reveal:"I flick it into the air.")[ //Heads.// North it is. Now, instead of downwards, I look long into the distance. The mountainous terrain the river is born from are visible some miles away. Once I'm down there, I should be able to make a competent first pass through the area before dark, the still rising sun sits high in the air. The path down is, thankfully, clearly marked and some stairs have been built into various parts of the descent. The last thing I need right now is to take a tumble and break something. [[I make my way.->RiverAfterDescent]] ]]] }

{ Now at the bottom, the scale of the valley is more clear. The river itself is on average only about 100 meters wide. The banks and 'shoulders' of the river range between being just thin enough to walk on to being as wide as the river itself. This all means that since I'm not searching a wide and open area on all sides, it shouldn't be nearly as difficult as it could be... however if this dragon- If Kolban is hiding something, it may not be so simple to spot. I walk North for several hours. Thankfully, many parts of this river do not seem to be very deep(if:$magprof is 1)[, though I'm not very worried with drowning thanks to my magic](if:$dexprof is 1)[, though I'm sure I could swim myself to safety](if:$strprof is 1)[, it'd not be to fun to rapidly strip my armor off to prevent drowning in the event I fall in]. The sun is not so forgiving this time of day. It perfectly sits above my head, with the resulting light and heat bouncing off the water and walls of the valley. And into me. Heh, the section I'm passing right now is pretty shallow. If I wasn't on a mission right now, I'd consider taking a dip. |takingadiplink>[{ (link: "Taking... a dip...")[ (replace: ?takingadiplink)[//Taking... a dip...//] (show: ?takingadip) ] }] { |takingadip)[ I'm not sure if my eyes deceive me(if:$SexualFantasies or $AdmitLovers is 1)[... nor am I sure if I want them to be]. The river took a slight bend, as did my path. As I was walking around that bend, a lone man was revealed to me. And gods it's not just any man. A nearly 7 foot tall dragonkin stands there taking his shirt off. As fortune holds, he is not facing me, but I have a first-class view of his scale covered, burnt-orange colored, and muscular back.

He wears nothing on his clawed feet, having digitigrade legs and larger digits. Between, there's a strong looking tail. (if:$PrySpellUse is 1)[My mind is filling in the blanks on what his front must look like. ]Not wanting to get caught, I crouch down behind some small greenery. And good I did, because it seems something in my direction caught his attention. He tilts his head my way just for a moment(if:$ChargedHatred and $MagicAnger is 0)[, revealing his rather well-defined and pleasant looking face,](if:$ChargedHatred or $MagicAnger is 1)[, revealing his annoyingly pleasant looking face,] and turns back around. Hold on, this literally has to be Kolban, right? He's a scale-covered beefy son-of-a-bitch right in the path of my search. But why is he out in the open getting undressed? Sure, everyone needs to take a bath once in a while, //but here? Now?// Well, shit. Here's my kill target... there's more than a few ways I can go about taking him down. I was certainly not expecting to find him like this. It really should have been harder... and he's even unarmed and unarmored. I'm not too close, either; Kolban stands around a hundred feet away from me. He might not have his equipment on his person, but I think I can see it piled up near him on the ground. Just as my eyes are settling there, I see his trousers drop. |howsthatass>[{ (link: "He's... got quite a nice ass.")[ (replace: ?howsthatass)[//He's... got quite a nice ass.//] (show: ?niceass) ] (link: "I can't let that distract me.")[ (replace: ?howsthatass)[//I can't let that distract me.//] (show: ?noass) ] }] |niceass)[ (set: $DragonAffection to $DragonAffection + 5)There's no shame in admitting it.

He's completely naked asside from some rings on his left hand. ]I can't help but quickly glance across his body as I decide what to do next. My eyes are drawn to a specific lack of a feature. //Oh I see, he's got a slit.// I know, unimportant. It's just... interesting. So here we are.

He then ](if:$dexprof is 1)[at the same time I let loose he charges. The arrow strikes true to his muscular chest... but bounces off of him.

I may be heavy, but he then] uses his superior weight and momentum to tackle me backwards onto the ground, causing my back to //CRUNCH// on the various equipment I was attempting to keep Kolban from reaching.

{ Kolban positions himself on my flank, pushing my face into the rough ground. A clawed finger slowly works its way from the base of my nape to the trousers protecting the last of my decency. As much as I hate to admit it, this sets nerves off all over my body in a very pleasant manner. The finger slips under the fabric and between my ass cheeks. In one movement, the dragon tears the rear end of my trousers, leaving my ass exposed to whatever he plans on doing next. (text-colour:orange)["My, my. You look delicious."] Still a little groggy from the assault on my face, I manage to get a words out through the sediment I'm being shoved against, (text-colour:cyan)["Eat my ass, you prick."] (text-colour:orange)["Now now, does a shithead elf like yourself deserve a little lubrication?"] He chuckles to himself. (text-colour:orange)["With how childish you've been acting, I doubt you even know how to wipe your ass, whelp. Sorry, I'm not into the taste of shit."] He roughly sticks a long finger deep into my ass, thankfully claw retracted. I can only gasp at the sudden intrusion. The finger is girthy as hell, it's overall size has gotta be around the average human cock. Him next actions are less severe, as he carefully pistons his finger in and out, left to right. There's mild pain at first, but it get's better. Then... I can feel he's trying to fit another in. I wriggle and writhe, this is too much. (text-colour:cyan)["Al- aight that's enough bastard! Get off of me before you do something you'll really regret!"] The second finger then pops in, stretching my ass wider than ever before. Kolban keep working the two fingers around and presses his snout against the back of my neck, licking as he goes. (text-colour:orange)["I don't believe for a second a //little whore like you// has never had two men inside you at the same time. Save your whining for when I'm fucking your brains out."] I try to resist his advances, but there's really no point when he's got his full body weight pining me down. I can hardly focus with how uncomfortable his fingers in my ass is. I'll give this piece of shit what he deserves... just at a later time. His fingers wrestle with each other in there, until I feel one brush up against my prostate. For a split second there's a hint of pleasure and Kolban seems to have picked up on it. His fingers start wiggling like crazy. (text-colour:cyan)["Fu- fucking stop! Son of a bitch!"] The overall experience is insufferably not unpleasant. How can a stupid dragon be pleasuring me like I'm his boy toy? (text-colour:orange)["We both know we're past that. You chose to be my fuck hole. And you hate how much you're gonna like it."] His fingers are pulled from my ass and they're sent straight into my mouth. The absolutely foul taste of my own fecal matter is all ove my tongue in an instant. (text-colour:orange)["Hah! You must like that freak."] I try to spit against it but there's not a whole lot I can do, the fingers are hooked on my jaw and pressed against my taste buds. I can hear him reaching for something to our side. I use this change to roll out from under him and... I get another fist to the back of my head, sending my into a daze... and then I lose it. Everything goes black. (link-reveal:"Some time passes.")[ I come to. My head is absolutely killing me. I quickly remember what happened and to my surprise -and dread- I'm somewhere else. Now laying face-up on a table of sorts instead of the ground, my wrists are in manacles attached to... something. And of course, I've got a gag in my mouth. It's dark in some places, but there are a few candles illuminating the area. I lay here naked and cold, trying to think of something... and nothing. The manacles wont budge an inch and I can't leverage anything with my feet. It seems he didn't rape me in my sleep, thank the gods. 'Cause my ass feels relatively fine. I'd definitely know if he fucked me, that cock was rubbing up against my legs and it felt huge. Something to me left made a noise and shit it scared the fuck out of me... There's a person sitting near the rock wall, also chained up. I didn't notice it before because its dark green scales blended in. He blended in. Definitely a he. It's another fucking dragon, and I can make out a cock protruding from his slit. Am I in some kind of sex dungeon? His amber eyes reflect some light. He's staring at me. What the fuck, how long has he been gawking at me getting hard while I slept? He's ripped and lean, but not nearly as huge as Kolban was. He keeps eyeing me. There's an air of excitement about him, not something I'd usually expect from a man that's chained up. (text-colour:#2fd04b)["Hi- hi. Kolban tells me you are my new playmate. I can't tell you how thankful I am."] What. The. Fuck. (text-colour:#2fd04b)["My name's Sel. You're $name, right? I have to say, I can't wait until he lets me touch you. Yo- You're hot, I mean."] I just shake my head profusely, but he doesn't seem to get it. (text-colour:#2fd04b)["I've got a problem, you see. And you're gonna help me out while Kolban looks for a way to fix it."] Yeah, you've definitely got a few screws loose. Holy fuck, are all dragons this sex-crazed?! I hear some footsteps as A large orange dragon, armored and clothed this time, walks out from around a corner. (text-colour:orange)["Ah... my brat you're awake! I see you've met my friend Sel. Sorry about the gag, but I didn't want you hurting his feelings. The poor guy's going through a lot right now and you've really got a mouth on you."] Sel's got a pleading look on his face as he looks at Kolban expectantly. (text-colour:#2fd04b)["Oh! Kolban! Can I please- He's awake now! Please let me~"] Kolban puts a hand up. (text-colour:orange)["Soon my friend. I've just got to let him know a few things."] Sel immediately settles down. Gods, this is disturbing, he looks like a damned puppy wanting a treat. (text-colour:orange)["Well, $name, I bet you weren't expecting this."] Kolban chuckles to himself, then looks me intently in the eyes. Suddenly speaking in a hushed and rough tone, (text-colour:orange)["I was going to fuck that fine ass of yours and leave you at the river, but I accidentally knocked you out and... well, I got thinking. You were a real bastard. Most men would kill you on the spot for disrespecting them as you did to me."] He gestures to Sel. (text-colour:orange)["He was a solid man before, but a perverted witch cursed him. Wanted to use him as her toy. I've been trying to figure out a way to fix him, but in the meantime one needs to satisfy his needs fairly often or he gets like... this. As much as I'd like to help a friend out every day I'm a busy man and I can't have him roaming around fucking everything he sees. You are going to pay me back for those words you said. For the bastardly way in which you tried to kill me."] He puts his annoyingly handsome face right up to mine. (text-colour:orange)["My friend Sel here is going to rail you whenever he likes until I find a way to fix him, got it? If you want to hold hate in your heart, blame me not him. Besides, I'm sure you're gonna like how he treats you."] For a second my brain process everything that was said. It's hard to describe the anger I feel. THIS dragon insults me and my captain? That's fucking rich. And he thinks I owe him? I shake and kick and do my best to curse at Kolban through my gag. He slaps me and yells, pointing a claw at my eyes, (text-colour:orange)["You are going to be a good bitch! If you want to go home to your fucking traitorous Captain you are going to do everything I say from now on! I've ripped men apart for doing less, you deserve death, got it? So you are going to lay there and get your daily dose of cock. AND. YOU. WILL. THANK. ME."] Not waiting to see my reaction, he moves over to Sel, unlocking his chains. Kolban pressed Sel's shoulders into the wall and tells him, (text-colour:orange)["Have fun, Sel. I'll be leaving now. Stay inside and don't forget to feed him. Hopefully when I return I have a solution. We're gonna get you home when this is over."] (text-colour:#2fd04b)["Thank you Kolban."] Kolban releases him and walks away. As soon as a click can he heard from down the cave, Sel springs towards me like an animal. I instinctively kick him away a few times, but he gets his torso between my legs. He wrestles against me for a few moments, but I feel extremely weak after all that's happened. Once he gets me legs up and out of the way he puts his tongue to work and for fuck's sake I hate how good it feels to have him licking at my ass, entering it an inch or two in smooth motions. After a few minutes of this treatment I'm hard. It's all so fucking embarrassing... I'm some kind of sex slave of my enemy... Sel takes his head out from under me. With me no longer resisting, he easily positions himself. His large draconic cock flops up next to mine. It's gotta be 7 inches long or so, and fuck it's girthy. He's got a knot of some kind slowly forming at the base of the shaft. Sel takes both our cocks in a hand and starts stroking. The feeling of his scaly hand and texture of his larger ribbed cock has me leaking pre. (text-colour:#2fd04b)["I can't explain how good this feels. Koblan tries hard but... I never fell like I'm in charge with him."] He stares at me with his amber eyes as he strokes us. His own pre starting to slicken the whole experience. (text-colour:#2fd04b)["I want you to love this and much as I do. I want to make you appreciate it like I do. I didn't know I would ever find a non-dragon so sexy, $name."] The lustful look he's giving me just adds to the whole situation. Fuck, FUCK! Why is is all turning me on? (text-colour:#2fd04b)["Are you ready? I can't wait any longer. I really can't... I'm sorry if it hurts. You'll get used to it though."] Sel does his best to smile, but he's already focusing on my ass, with his non-stroking hand feeling up me whole. He withdraws from me and repositions with his cock between my ass cheeks. He uses a guiding hand to aim at my whole and even with me trying to keep him out... his tapered tip makes its way in and he slams without further care. His face and body language only reads as lust. I let out a painful moan into my gag as he nearly bottoms out, stopping at the knot. The walls of my ass are stretched further than I'm used to and it hurts. He immediately repeats this action, thrusting in and out without care for the pain it's causing. Over time he starts licking at my face, neck, and chest while he feels every inch of me up. (text-colour:#2fd04b)["Ah, oh... this feels so good $name! I think I might love you."] Sel uses his claws to tear the gag off, drawing some blood from my cheek in the process, and starts kissing me. His tongue wraps all over my mouth while he keeps fucking me. As if I've forgotten the entire situation, I start kissing him back, moaning and wishing he'd find my spot. (text-colour:#2fd04b)["I'm so... uh... happy you love this as much as I do. I couldn't, oh... live with myself after I'm fixed if you hated it."] Something inside me is just saying yes to the whole situation, it's as if a spell was cast of me too. I can't help but admire his muscular body as he fucks me. If only I knew this is where I'd be... I'd have told Kolban to punch my lights out sooner. At this point the pain from my ass is only arousing me more. His cock is so big and the shape is like nothing I've had before. Sel is the hottest man I've ever gotten to do this with. The way he bucks in and out of me like an animal is so primal. I'll let him do whatever he wants and as long as he wants. This goes on for a few dozen minutes, as he slows and speeds up, making love to me in the best way imaginable, before he starts hitting it. My prostate. He sees the look in my eyes. The moans, the sounds of sex, only get louder as he fucks me right there with his perfectly shaped cock. He starts jerking me off and I can tell we are both getting close. He lets out a roar and thrusts into me one last time, stretching me for the knot. Cuming inside, I can feel his warm draconic seed filling my insides. This sends me over the edge, getting my own spunk on both of our chests and his hand. For the first time I feel his slit against my ass, he moves his hips around in circular motions, gasping at what must be the best orgasm he's felt in forever. Still tied, he nudges me backwards on the table and climbs up to lay with me. Sel holds me in an embrace, kissing me and stroking my hair. We lay there, his deep rumbling vibrating my chest. It's only now I realize the headache went away. That was the best sex I've ever had... and it left me tired. (text-colour:#2fd04b)["That was amazing $name. Thank you. I'll talk to Kolban about getting us a better bed. I want to keep making you feel good."] My mind is all over the place. In Sel's arms I don't even care how uncomfortable the table is to lay on. He's still so deep in me... it feels wonderful. The gift of sleep settles over me. The coming weeks were interesting. Upon waking, Sel and I fucked again. After a while, we started fucking in different ways. We gave each other oral, and he even let me play with his slit, but I had to remain manacled. Whenever we had sex my brain all but turned off. The pleasure he was giving me was all that mattered, and when he wasn't fucking me it was on my mind. Gods... I am really a dragon slut... There were times, usually after sex, that Sel was seemed normal, not some sex beast. The conversations were awkward at first, but for some reason I couldn't get myself to hate him like I know I should. He seemed genuine. And felt bad that I was there. I didn't want him to, though. After a while, I was happy to be there, even if it would be nice to walk around outside... When Kolban would return, I tried to hide what I was feeling for Sel. I pretended I was pissed at the whole situation, but I'm sure he saw through me. I did whatever I could to get him to leave so Sel and I could be alone sooner.

{ Alone in an office stands a war veteran. Atop the cluttered tables sits a package. Odd, thinks the elf vet. He wasn't expecting any materials to be delivered. Opening it up, he's surprised to see (if:$magprof is 1)[a robe and spell book](if:$dexprof is 1)[a bow and leather armor](if:$strprof is 1)[plate armor and a sword]. Attached to it is a letter, which the vet promptly opens. The vet's jaw drops. The note slips from his ever loosening grip. It reads: (color:orange)[//He's mine now, love.//] The vet's petrified gaze stays on the note. (text-colour:#d1e)["$name... I'm so sorry."] (text-style:"bold","underline","sway")[Bad(?)
