We were all lying next to the river bed licking our wounds. I only had some minor cuts and bruises from the fall I took while Josh had a broken rib and leg, the important thing was that we were all going to survive the ordeal. Kelly didn't have any wounds to speak of while Dez had a burnt back, some cuts on his hand, a cracked skull, and a number of bruises as well as a fractured rib.
"This is why I never joined the army." joked Josh while Kelly rubbed his side, her fingers pressing into the wound as she rubbed some of the medgel that we had found on the bodies onto his wounds.
"Yeah, yeah tough guy. Admit it. You like these hands on you." joked Kelly and he laughed.
"Guess I do." he admitted and I looked back to Dezdrin who was applying some of the gel to a scrape on my arm.
"So....this is it then. God it feels so weird to not have to run or try to avoid people now...Morathia doesn't feel the same at all." I remarked and he smiled.
"This was how it was always supposed to feel. At least for your trip. Peaceful, beautiful, refreshing." he remarked as he looked around at the glowing sunlight that was now peeking through the curtain of fog and mist.
"So I guess we can go back to the camp now and...we'll manage everything there...If there's anything left for us." I remarked with a sorrowful expression while Dezdrin only sighed and rubbed my back.
"We're going to be fine. We survived this didn't we? Surviving without a ship for a little longer won't hurt anyone." he said and I nodded with a smile plastered across my face.
"Hey guys! His leg is going to take about a day or two to heal so we have to camp out here for a little longer. Hope you don't mind!" said Kelly and I shrugged.
"A couple more days in this beautiful place with you? I wouldn't mind." I stated and he smiled while brushing the hair from my cheek.
It was only now did I notice how magnificent this place actually was. The trees were at least 200 feet high and that was the shortest of them. They were all shaped like a series of umbrellas on top of one another with a shell of leaves over the other. This made the ground moderately dark but since we were next to the river the sunlight peeked through full force. It drips onto the floor as we all sat there, staring at one another and laughing, the white glow of the light slithering through the fog that was on top of us as it fell onto our shoulders and we all collectively sighed. On the forest floor was a variety of flowers and bushes that only seldom appeared in large patches, especially near the river bank. Some of them even grew on the tree trunk themselves and grew out. All of these things that I had missed ever since we had been chased, all of these things that I failed to take the time to enjoy. The mist was smooth and the sunlight was warm, it felt like being locked in someone's garden, refreshing, bright, pretty.
"So what do you say? Want to do some exploration?" he asked me as he gets to his feet.
"You have a fractured rib!" I said and he shrugged.
"Never stopped me before. Besides I think the medgel mostly healed it already. Come on." he said and grabbed my hand, he captures me into an embrace and leapt into the air, his hands paw at branches as we rise further and further.
"Where are we headed?" I asked him.
"Upstream! To somewhere pretty I hope!" he said as he finds this small plateau with flowers growing on the river bank. We land on his small portion of soil and I sit with him, glancing over as he sets me down and smiled.
"This is nice isn't' it?" he asked while we look off of the plateau. Josh and Kelly were nowhere to be seen and the river seems to run on forever from here. The sun was shining down on us through that shroud of mist and the trees loomed over head, the shadows of their leaves falling onto my back while I sit there with him and licked my lips.
"So what are we going to do?" I asked and he smiled
"You know what we're going to do." he said and pressed a button on his suit that caused the armor to fall off into a variety of pieces.
I stripped off my shirt and my shorts while glancing at him, he stands at attention in front of me and smiled as I rubbed his abdomen and his chest. I run over the spot of his cracked rib and tenderly rub it while leaning into kiss him. My lips press against his and I moaned as I feel his tongue flicking against me, his fangs rubbing my lips while I looked into those brilliant blue eyes and felt that golden skin warm under my touch. He continued to moan while I gripped his hips and let him lean into me.
I laid near the river on a soft bed of flowers while he kissed me and drew a path to my breasts using his lips. His kisses lead down to my neck where he settles for a little while before he kisses my mounds, his lips wrapped around my breasts and he pulled gently as I feel his fingers rub my curves and his tongue flick my nipples around. I whimpered and moaned for him while I feel his tongue rub that nub of flesh with a great deal of vigor, that rough tongue swelled as it runs in circles around those nubs of flesh and I lose myself in the euphoria.
"Take me." I moaned while he kissed my stomach, his lips trailing down to my folds which he slipped a finger over. His hands dashed over my curves on the way down, his fingers pressing into all of that ample flesh, my buttocks, my breasts, my curvy body was on full display and was appraised with a great deal of enthusiasm by his hands and his eyes.
"Use me, use me." I moaned as he gripped my thighs, gently pressing into that curvy flesh with his finger tip as he leaned in with his tongue jutting out.
I felt the tip of his tongue rolling against my folds, the slickness began to drip out of me and fall onto him as the tip of his tongue slipped in between my folds and inside of me. I was so wet that his tongue could slither all the way in without a great deal of opposition. His lips pursed around my folds as his right hand runs up to my breasts to grope my ample mounds while his left hand remains near my crotch to stimulate my clit. I whimper for him as I feel his fingers dashing over that nub of flesh and as I feel his tongue sink all the way inside of me.
"Oh yes, yes, plunge that Jorathian tongue into me." I moaned as the rough feeling of his tongue, the texture, all of it dashed over my nerve bundles and I groaned as he continually slides it in and out of me.
I felt my walls clench him as he slipped deeper and deeper inside of me. His tongue was unrelenting, his pace was unrelenting and he doesn't stop as the tip of his tongue dashed over my nerve bundles. I cried out as I feel my juices begin to drip onto him, his lips pursed against my folds while his finger rolled over my clit several more times. I feel myself begin to lose it, the pleasure consumes me and I shut my eyes as I grit my teeth and feel the tongue slither and squirm while inside of me.
"You're getting there aren't you? Give it to me my mate. My lovely human mate." he said as he slapped the curves of my thighs and dug his tongue deep inside of me. I groaned as my walls clenched him before the juices began to drip out.
I screamed as my walls clenched him, all of that hot juice leaking out onto him as the fluid dripped over his tongue and he moaned for me. He sunk it all the way inside of me and lets the tip of his tongue roll over my insides. It squirmed and I feel the ridges slide over my nerves as the heat then leaked out all over him. He moaned while keeping his tongue deep inside of me, his tongue rolled along my insides and I turned around him before the juices completely fell out and he slipped his tongue out of me entirely. I panted and I feel him grip my head and bring me up. He sets me on my hands and knees with my reflection over the water and slipped his tip in my crack before plunging it into my slick flesh entirely.
"Yes, yes!" I cried out as he slides it inside and I clenched him, my eyes rolled back and I bite my lip as he began to slide in and out while inside of me. I feel him buck his hips as he clenched my backside with his hands and spanked it.
I moaned once more and he leaned in to kiss the back of my neck. His lips pursed around my flesh and I moaned as I feel his right hand reach around to grasp my neck while he rammed in and out of me. I moaned powerfully as I feel the flesh throb while inside of me, his manhood was already dropping intense excitement into me as he slides in
and out. My breasts sway and my curves shake while he runs his hands over both and I can't help but whimper for him. I shut my eyes and bite my lip as he slides deeper and deeper, his tip throbbed and swelled against my cervix while his powerful torso and arms rub my back, all of that tense muscle dashes over me and I find myself getting lost in the pleasure.
"Oh god, oh god i'm so close!" I moaned for him as his tip slides all the way inside of me. His incredible size throbs over and over again and I can barely contain my moans as all of the ridges and bumps on his member slide over me.
"Yes, yes, oh i'm close." he said.
"I am too. Together, together." I moaned while his fingers pinched my nipples and pulled, his tip slides all the way in and my curves press against his rock hard muscle before he filled me entirely.
I feel him slide all the way in as all of that hot seed spilled out of him and dripped over my eggs. All of that warmth engulfs me and I imagined while the heat dripped over my walls. I can feel myself quivering, shaking as I bite my lip and feel him slide all the way into me. I shake my head and feel him pinch my nipples as my walls clenched him and the juice dripped out onto his member. His size throbbed repeatedly before he slipped out of me, his golden body was glistening with sweat and the definition of his muscles was increased because of it, that is if they could even get any better with how powerful he looked all the time. The scars and the wounds on his body shone and he smiled at me before lying beside me on the flower bed and laughing. We both began to chuckle as we looked up at the infinite golden sky of Morathia, just happy to be alive after all of it.
CHAPTER TWELVE
Dezdrin
We arrived back at their camp about 8 days later and what we found was...harrowing. Most of the bodies have been left to decay in a pile in the corner of the camp, so much so that the other's couldn't bear to look so I had to take the corpses myself and place them into separate sections. I would have to cremate them and collect the ashes, as was human tradition. The others couldn't bear to see their friends this way so I went about this entire process alone, only calling them to approach once the bodies had been burned and only the ashes remained.
And then there was the tech.
Mephisal and Kol had stockpiled it clearly and all of the equipment was hidden away in our personal ship which was locked in some cave. I had already taken everything I would be needing from Kol and Mephisal so now it was just a matter of calling the ship. It was a sleek black triangle with three prongs in the front and boosters on the back. It could fit all of us and was complete with amenities which was fortunate as I didn't want to be stuck on a cramped ship with three emotionally distraught humans, no matter how much I liked them.
"He really liked this." said Josh as he hoisted up his friends old "calculator". He pats it and sets it down on the bag of ash that had been collected, the name 'Theo' was written on it.
"All of these people...all of this potential lost..." remarked Kelly as she sets a bag with the label 'Leah' on it, down on the table that was in the middle of camp.
The scene was a wreckage, old blood marks across the entire encampment with various tents collapsed and tables flipped over. The only tent left standing was the main one in the middle of the lot, it would have had a communicator and computer but those were both ripped out and tossed into the pile of tech that was left lying near the ship. For as peaceful and quiet as the forest seemed, this camp provided quite the contrast.
"Yeah...." remarked Amanda as she hoisted up this...toy, it was a pillow of some kind of some sort of creature that walked on all fours and had an immense amount of hair around its head.
"I'm sorry humans...I really am." I muttered while frowning, my blue eyes fell to the floor and that tussle of white hair blows in the wind while I looked at the burning bodies.
In the flames I have seen all that I have done. All the bodies that I had left behind on my quest for wealth and survival, all of the pain that I had caused and I find myself growing more and more disgusted by it. I hear the victims crying out for help and remembered the denial that I showed them in response to their pleas. I can see the litany of painful experiences that I had caused for so many. Even more painful were the thoughts of what these humans could have become should my brethren not have attacked them, should I have not planned to assault the camp.
And yet...there is hope lurking in these orange flames.
I see Amanda walking in that shroud of gold, her eyes shimmering as she looked over at me and smiled. She showed me a better path, a path with a family, with children, a path where I lived not as an animal but as a man. As a man that I could be proud of even in my dying days. The intensity of the vision only increased as I felt a hand wrap around mine. I looked to my side and see her gripping my hand, her fingers tensing around me while I leaned into her and smiled. She smiles back and leans in for a kiss and I nodded, smiling while we both gazed at the flames and contemplated what we were and what we would become.

Amanda
And soon after....we left.
The ships that we had brought were in working order but only one of us really knew how to fly, Dezdrin. Thus we called in a crew to take the one Jorathian ship and one of the human ships while we took the other human ship back to the nearest colony. Our initial plan was to take the Jorathian ship since it was faster but it just felt...strange to sleep and be in a ship that had belonged to people that killed most of your friends. This seemed much more appropriate.
After a round of cryosleep we arrived back at the colony and informed them of what had happened. We left out any mention of Dezdrin, however, if they had found out that he was a part of the gang then there would be a litany of crimes that they could charge him for. Ironically the first one to attest to his honor during the whole process was Josh. Wouldn't have thought that would have happened when they first met.
After that we all mostly stuck around on the human colony and went back to school. Well everyone except for Dezdrin. The first couple of days of him adjusting were...rough to say the least.
"AH! Why is this damn thing so short?" he asked me as he gripped the shower head.
"What do you use back on Jorath?" I asked him.
"Cleaning pods damn it! This is horrible. How do you humans bathe while wasting all this water?" he asked me and I laughed at his confusion.
"You'll get used to it, trust me." I stated.
Living with him in that cramped apartment felt so weird, especially after the whole month long camping trip that we had together. I was so used to sleeping on cold, hard surfaces that I occasionally slept on the floor just to be a bit more comfortable. That wore off after a while though and we both found our home on my full sized bed that barely fit the two of us. I would just lay down on top of him and fall asleep that way, it worked.
"You know...we're going to need to make more money." he admitted as he struggled to fit onto the bed and I laughed.
"I'm finishing school soon. I'll get my license and we'll be fine." I stated and he raised an eyebrow.
"And if I earn more than you first?" he asked.
"You want to make this a challenge? See if you can find a job first?" I asked him and he nodded.
"You bet." he said
"Alright then. Do it." I stated.
In the end we ended up with salary positions that were, for the most part, equal to one another. I was a local physician on the colony while he got work as a military consultant and operative. He rarely went out on dangerous missions but whenever he did I would freak out and dote over every last detail of it. He did make quite the sum with his skills however, enough to buy us a nice home on the colony right next to the sea.
And that's where we find ourselves these days, sitting on the shoreline, barely going to work thanks to the fortune that we had both amassed and invested.
I was sitting there on the beach with my hands on my knees, my stomach pressing against my thighs while he scaled the tall tree that he had planted ne
ar our home. He called out to me and waved and I waved back at him as I saw somethings small scurry next to his feet.
Our son.
"Papa!" Feros called out as he scaled the 400 ft tall tree, his hands were clenching the wood and he was leaping forward like a true Jorathian. I was a bit nervous as to how the child would turn out but we had a healthy baby boy with the best traits of both sides. He could scale just about anything which made his father happy but made me more than a bit nervous.
"Look mommy!" he called out as he swung from branch to branch. I quivered in fear as I watched him descend until he landed safely on his feet onto the stone that our home was built into. He skipped over to me and dives into the sand before rolling and laying down flat in front of me. I lift a hand and tickle his stomach while he laid in front of me.
"Hey buddy." I said with a smile.
"Hi!" He giggled and looked at the ocean, he looked back at me and I shrugged before he dove into it. The water splashed over his head and he smiled as he ran around in the water before I felt a hand rest on my cheeks and I turned.
"Hey." my husband and mate, my hero and greatest love said. Dezdrin sits beside me and sighs while we both glance out at the water. The blue seems to stretch forever while the purple sky of the colony shines overhead. I gazed out at the glowing gold sun and smiled as I leaned into him and rested my head on his shoulder.
"This is good huh?" I asked him and he nodded
"Perfect. No more running, no more crazy chases, no more living in the cramped apartment." he remarked.
"Hey it wasn't that bad!" I remarked with a smile.
"Well.....I'm just glad that we finally have a place to call home. It's so beautiful, but not nearly as lovely as the thing that I have created with you." he remarked and gazed at our son. Our boy's tan skin was glimmering in the sunlight as he flipped in the water and scurried around. His tussle of brown hair shakes and I watched his tall figure dance around as the water falls onto the sand. We both watched him and basked in the glory of our lives, grasping one another and leaning in for a kiss in the glow of the afternoon sun.
