Spa day
Written for Immortal Vanguard
By ~RaphaeltheFerret



It was a cold and dreary December day, the flakes were flying and the city was bustling with noise and people trying to get here and there, making their frustrations known with the blowing of horns, the flipping of fingers and even the throwing of coffees. I V wandered the streets, wrapped in a multitude of scarves and coats just to keep the howling wind from giving his skin an arctic kiss. “Damn, if this storm keeps up the entire place will be a parking lot” he grumbled to himself, watching as cars did little more than spin their tires and bump into the backs of others which only furthered the cold fueled road rage. Even with the chaos going on around him, he kept a steady pace, trudging through the piling snow which had began to drift over the sidewalks and curbs, slipping here and there on the ice which the snow kept hidden beneath its soft white blanket. But amid the constant chaos there was one spot that made sure its tranquility was kept intact, a place where those outside could find a spot to relax and clear their heads of the constant noise, the insults and maybe even wash away the stress of the day which clung to their fur and weighed heavily on their shoulders. The cities bath house was a traditional oriental building with its high ceilings and hanging lanterns with the sounds of music playing from all around, the smells of incense and aromatics filling the air and I V’s nostrils. He’d wander through the door and into the main hall and was soon greeted by a creature in long flowing robes who carried a small basket with assorted soaps “
Welcome to the baths, Sir. Have you come to take homage in the healing waters?” the figure asked, setting the basket down and giving the Wolf a small bow before grabbing it again “If by homage you mean taking a load off, then yes… The city is absolute chaos right now” I V replied as he began to slowly slip from his multiple jackets and scarves, folding them over his arm. He wasn’t the tallest of Wolves, but he wasn’t the shortest either, moderately sized would be a good way to put his height, but he made it work! The robed figure nodded sagely and soon began motioning I V to follow beyond a curtained doorway and into a small, steam filled room with a larger assortment of soaps and other scents “Please ring us if there is anything you need” the figure stated, giving another bow before disappearing through the door, leaving I V to undress and get comfortable.


Outside the snow was beginning to intensify and people were beginning to abandon cars where they had slid, be that against another car or just at the curb. But among the hustle and bustle of people, there was an even larger beast stalking around, shoving the city folk around and occasionally slipping something from their pocket along the way. Orion was a hulking beast, standing just over seven foot he was indeed a force to be reckoned with, but he was mild mannered and hardly brought attention to himself. The snow hardly bothered him, but being surrounded by thousands of people did give the large Canine a good amount of stress, stress that would have to be relieved one way or another. He’d continue walking down the snow covered sidewalks, still bumping into people even if he tried to avoid them, his claws clicking against the frozen concrete in an attempt to grab traction until “... FUCK! OOOOF” he snarled, hitting a patch of hidden ice and ending up ass over tea kettle in the snowbank which covered his jet black fur with snow as he tried to muscle his way out of the pile, grumbling to himself the entire way “Fuckin’ snow… You’d think the city would take care of this by now” he muttered under his breath as he continued to make his way down the street before he’d arrive at the baths, a sigh of relief escaping his jaws as the doors were pushed open and the scents invaded his nostrils and a voice invaded his ears “Greetings and welcome to the baths, Sir”

I V had taken the time to fold all his clothing neatly in the cabinet on the other side of the humid room, the snow that once clung to the shoulders of his jacket now melted away and adding to the puddles of water on the floor, his breath mixing with the steam which flowed all around, the music making everything feel tranquil even though he had just arrived. He’d check his phone, seeing the schedule for the day ahead and set it with his clothing, muting the notifications before sealing the cabinet and wandering back to the bath “Work can wait for today, it’s not like anyone is going anywhere” he sighed, letting his feet dip into the soothingly warm water with a sigh escaping his jaws, his eyes closing for a moment until the sounds of conversation and feet shuffling along the floor made his ears perk, his eyes watching as the same robed figure followed by a hulking Canine parted through the curtains and left the pair alone in the baths. Orion eyed the Wolf slowly, watching as I V relaxed into the waters, noting each little thing about the smaller male as he too began to undress and fold his clothes into the cabinet, his crimson red and jet black having a slight sheen to it, his mohawk beginning to wilt and cover his eyes with the added humidity “Enjoying the wonderful weather outside?” he’d ask, setting a large foot into the waters, swirling it around for a moment before the rest of his hulking body followed with a deep, relaxed sigh, his head cocked and piercing yellow eyes glaring back at the Wolf with a bit of a smirk on his muzzle “You could say that, much better in here” I V replied, slouching back against the baths edge, relaxing further into the water, his eyes glancing back at the impressively sized Canine that had joined him in the water, taking his own notes about Orion without seeming too interested “And you? Must be tough finding winter clothing for your size” he chuckled, still keeping his eyes on the beast beside him, a curious look in his eyes. Orion took a moment to reply, relaxing a little deeper into the soothing heat of the bath, giving an idle flick of his ear at the question “If I had a dollar for every time I heard that question, well I’d be able to afford coming here much more often” he’d snicker, reaching up to idly pick his pearly whites before giving them a good licking with his broad pink tongue and oh so slowly scooching over towards the Wolf “But yes, it is and I manage to find what I can, but the cold doesn’t bother me too much either, perks of being bigger I suppose” he sighed, once again relaxing back into the waters, taking his gaze from I V and his naked body while his own steamed with the warmth. I V was caught in that gaze, shyly glancing back over when the big Dog wasn’t looking just to get another glimpse of what might lie below the water, catching a look at Orion’s heavy sheath under the steam, the pierced and tapered tip poking from the fuzzy enclosure until it was hidden from view under the larger Canines paw “You can stop staring, that blush on your face is harder to hide when you’re looking right at me” he grumbled, once again turning his gaze to the flustered Wolf, soon turning his whole body to the side, giving the male a whole lot more to look at and even exposing his heavy sheath and balls between his legs “Well, like what you see? You might be shy.. But, I’m not” he’d sigh, reaching out to gently give the smaller males groin a fondle, pressing that tender sheath between his large digits “Just you and me in here~ And I made sure to put a ‘do not disturb’ sign on the door”

I V yiped and groaned from the sudden touch to his sensitive bits, he had not expected such a straightforward approach from an absolute stranger! But with the touches to his sheath and balls he found himself sliding closer to the beast beside him, that violet blush on his face never once losing its intensity and if anything it only grew brighter and hotter “A-ah, I-i’m not shy!” he stammered, getting within his own arms reach of Orion and soon he’d cast his own paw down to grope at the Dog’s large, heavy sheath, letting his paws wrap around the soft appendage while still giving those balls the attention they needed and he’d soon find Orion’s crimson spire sprouting from its tight sheath, filling the Wolf’s paws with its throbbing girth and rows of piercings, getting a good whiff of the larger beasts hearty musk that filled the air between the two, invading I V’s senses with its intoxicating scent “Mmm, you don’t see that shy to me, maybe you just need someone you help you out of that shell~” Orion muttered, groaning and panting hotly as the Wolf went along stroking his swelling spire, idly grinding his hips up and down into those dainty paws until even the big dogs bulbous knot spilled free from his sheath. I V could hardly take his eyes off of the submerged crimson package he held in his grasp, shuddering as Orion’s words slithered into his ears, making him blush hotly beneath his fur. But he continued to stroke along that veiny length, teasing the heavy ring adorning the larger males tapered tip “O-out of my shell? What do you mean?” he’d stutter, looking up into the beast’s eyes with a nervous little shudder running down his spine, anticipation building in his own loins as the Wolf’s sheath stirred with activity, a yelp escaping his jaws when Orion all too eagerly picked him up by the scruff and settled him right in the large males lap, that red column of cock throbbing between his thighs. “Oh yes, you just need to be shown how to fully relax, and that’s where I come in” Orion snickered, leaning back against the baths edge, grabbing I V once more and lifting the boy up until his tapered tip was grinding against the Wolf’s tight pucker beneath the water “So, just relax, you’ll enjoy this” he growled, lowering the smaller male onto his throbbing cock which slowly but surely pierced I V’s tight ass, sending the pair into a series lust filled moans and grunts as more and more of Orion’s spire was slowly pressed into the Wolf’s pucker, filling the tight and heated innards with its mass and spurts of pre-cum here and there “A-ah fuck, y-you’re bigger than I though---- mmmph, than I thought” I V groaned, feeling his ass being stretched outwards by the length being pressed into it, those piercings bumping along his pucker sending little jolts of pleasure through his body as each row was oh so slowly and delicately stuffed inside until his descent came to a sudden stop, only to find himself riding atop Orion’s pulsing and well endowed knot. “I.. I don’t think I can take that! You’ve already stretched me so much!” he groaned, feeling the bulbous organ pressed tightly against his stretched ass, wincing with a spark of pain with the slightest stretch more! “Don’t think so, huh? Well, I’m fairly certain you can relax just a little more and UNFF take it~” Orion snickered, grabbing the males hips and giving one last, powerful shove upwards, stretching the Wolf’s pucker that much wider until his knot finally popped into the whining boys ass, tying the pair together “Mmmm, see? I knew you could do it” the beast groaned, eagerly thumping I V up and down on his thighs, his knot slipping in and out of the Wolf’s ruined ass repeatedly with lewd ‘schlorp smack schlorp smacks’, each drive inwards brought the pairs climaxes closer and closer, the room filling with the sounds of their howls and growls of pleasure and carnal need until finally “Fuck… Here it comes ahh!” Orion howled out, his orgasm hitting and sending a torrent of hot cum jetting into the Wolf’s middle, making that once tight and tone middle swell with the amount of spunk being jetted into it! His knot keeping everything nice and trapped inside like one big plug “Goddamn…. There’s so much” I V panted, watching his middle begin to bulge and distend both from the large cock in his ass and from the spunk sloshing about from the pairs nice little rut.


“So now what, big guy~ You’ve broken me from my shell” he huffed, looking up at Orion from his lap, idly giving a little lick the big Dog’s chin which was met with a nice wet lick from his broad tongue, drool being slathered here and there over the Wolf’s face, fur becoming slick with the slime “Well, I did always tend to get hungry after a nice little bit of action, and I think you’re just in time for lunch” Orion chuckled, his stomach growling and churning emptily below, almost demanding to be fed this instant! And it made its voice quite easy to hear as I V was assailed by the gastric groans and bubbles coming from behind him, almost beckoning him with its gurgly lullaby “Well, you certainly expended energy~ Why don’t I help fill you up” the Wolf huffed, looking back up while raising his paws to the Canines muzzle, letting his digits dance through the drooly jowls of the beast until those jaws snapped open and engulfed his exploring paws, arms a head with one loud “Ahhhhh GLRRRK” immersing I V into Orion’s dark and dank gullet, the humid air within smelling of meat and digestion with the echoes of what lie below calling from the darkness. He’d wriggle as best he would, tugging back against the tight hold that knot had on his ass, almost anchoring him to the Dog’s lap, but with a bit of struggle it finally popped free and sent heated cum washing into the water, allowing himself to dive deeper still into the warm confines of Orion’s throat “There ya go, just open nice and wide for me big guy” he groaned, feeling the powerful muscles of throat flesh pull on his body, slowly but surely dragging him deeper and deeper inside the drooling abyss, his chest soon disappearing into those depths and filling Orion’s throat quite nicely! “Mmmmnh ulllllk” The beast groaned, feeling the male slide off his cock and right into his throat was just another layer of pleasure he indulged in and he was sure to enjoy this wriggling Wolf greatly. He’d tip his head back, letting the forces of gravity work its dirty magic and send poor I V more and more into his distended gullet until the males face was crammed against the tight ring leading to the castric hell below! But, with a hearty ‘GLLLP’ that once tight entrance parted and sucked his mid day snack right down into those churning juices and chyme, remnants of the Canines last meal still floating around within the cramped space as the last bits of I V disappeared from sight “Ahhhh, and you tasted as good as you looked~” Orion cackled, picking the bits of fur from his teeth and discarding it onto the tile behind him, his eyes watching the movements in his stomach as the Wolf squirmed this way and that within, no doubt trying to maker himself comfortable! “Now be a dear and gurgle for me”

I V curled up in a tight ball inside his fleshy prison, cupping his knees to his chest while trying to bring himself upright, but with no light or sense of direction, he wasn’t entirely sure which was was up or where he’d even come from! But, the booming voice from above echoed in his head as did the rhythmic thumping of the beasts heart above his head “H… How many people have you eaten today goodness! It smells awful in here” he muttered, pressing out against the chambers walls, making Orion’s skin stretch out with his movements only to find them pushed back in with larger paws which ground those walls against him all over, the acids beginning to sizzle and work at his fur and flesh, bubbling around where he sat “Does it really matter how many? Pretty sure you won’t be remembering this anyways” Orion sighed, kneading here and there with his powerful paws before a loud ‘BURRAAAP’ cut him off and expelled most of the air from his stomach and cutting poor I V’s time alive… In half. But still the Wolf squirmed and wriggled this way and that, even with the stomachs sudden tightening around his already gurgling frame as more and more of himself became mush, adding to the stomach's contents before finally falling apart with a wet ‘glrrrrsh’ as his body fell apart under the caustic slimes assault, leaving little more than a nicely sagging gut on the predator in the water who seemed to relish the final moments of his meals life “But I guess I can add you to the list of people” he cackled, continuing to massage his churning and stewing gut while what remained solid of I V was digested away into just more mush and chyme, fuel for the large Canine to continue his day. But the torment didn’t just stop at the Wolf’s body, oh no, there was still the males precious soul that needed to be dealt with and with a tap to the pendant around his neck, Orion had just the way to deal with the ghostly I V. He’d tap the shimmering gem, illuminating the area in a ghostly blue fire, dragging the Wolf’s soul from his stomach, still screaming its silent cries for release and freedom… But those cries would not be heard and freedom not delivered as it was twisted and contorted, warped by the magical energies within the pendant before being sucked in and trapped inside another prison, this time without any chance of freedom~

It was indeed the end for I V, his body destroyed and his soul bound to be a pair of wobbling Canid thighs for eternity, tricked into being Orion’s forever pudge right there in the place where there was supposed to be peace and tranquility for all who entered, but only some of that happened, the rest would never be told to anyone else. Orion clambered from the bath water, giving himself a good shake and drying to his fur while donning the clothing he had arrived in only to leave the top of his trousers unbuckled to accommodate for his still rounded gut “Good thing its the holidays, can just tell people I added some holiday fat” he laughed, giving his sloshing stomach a smack, finishing his donning of clothes and heading out the door into the lobby, being greeted by the one who was there to begin with “We hope you enjoyed your stay at the predators bath house, sir” the figure stated, giving a slow nod before Orion disappeared into the snow once more.

The lost adventure
By Raphael the Ferret
Featuring Morphine Crux and AEthian



It was a cold and miserable October night, the drenching rains and battering winds drove most folk into hiding as the storm left a path of devastation in its wake, homes not build properly were ripped apart by the howling winds and even those with the proper structure were badly damaged, leaving most nearly torn apart. But, to the adventurer, this was an acceptable risk that could be taken, especially with the prize of unfathomable power to be captured. Power only the select few could wield and use properly. AEthian trudged through the hellish storm, a cloak draped over his body as to ward off the assailing winds and pounding rains that threatened to blow him clean off of the cliff face in which he was carefully navigating, loose stones giving way beneath his feet and careening down the deadly drop-off. “This will be the death of me… But the ruins aren’t much farther ahead” he muttered to himself, his voice drowned out by the torrential rainfall which broke records in most places. He stayed his course, maneuvering over jagged rocks and slippery slabs of shale which had become slick with rain and mud. There was little light in the area, making his journey all the more perilous as he continued to make head towards the entrance of the centuries old ruins, the place many a soul had tried to go but had fallen prey to the cliffs and other beings that inhabited the area, vicious creatures that lurked in the shadows, waiting to strike and kill whatever might come close. Luckily AEthian had managed to avoid these night time terrors as the narrow path on the cliffs opened up as the entrance to the ancient temple which had long ago fallen into disrepair and use…. But there was something more frightening than the ruins itself as a crack of lightning revealed a truly gruesome sight, countless bodies lay strewn about in the open area, pools of blood and other fluids mixing with the rain as rivers of ichor and bial formed through the cracks in the ancient stone. The stench was overwhelming, the foul mix of rotting meat and stale blood filled the air around the Wolf, the bodies around him had their faces twisted in a grotesque fashion as many had their limbs ripped clean from their sockets leaving bloody stumps that weeped various fluids and pus. “Poor souls… Let's just hope whatever did this isn't still around” he stammered, pulling part of his cloak around his muzzle, trying to muffle the horrid stench that lie in the area. The Wolf dug into his satchel, rummaging around in the pouch as he took inventory of what items he had brought in case he was attacked and what he needed to navigate the ruins themselves. Once he was sure he had everything prepared, he made his way past the countless corpses into the entrance which seemed to beckon him with a force not known to many, a deep pulling force that tugged at his very soul, almost demanding him to come inside. “I’ve come this far…. No turning back now” he grumbled, wandering into the ruins, constantly scanning his surroundings for danger… Read to strike at anything that might pose a threat, but even with all the preparations he brought…. Nothing could prepare him for what lie within..

Upon entering the archaic structure, the smell of rotting and bubbling flesh only got worse as a tradeoff of having the rain stop its relentless pounding, sheltered by the ancient stone which had runes engraved into them, most of which washed away by centuries of erosion and weather, but the ones that still had the markings seemed to glow a faint orange and white as mystical energies swirled about within the expansive room, providing a dull lighting for the Wolf. AEthian wandered past the mutilated bodies of those who had tried to claim the power in the ruins, but it seemed they fared just as well as the others on the outside, decimated as they tried to enter the haunted place which concealed the great power deep within. Even with the corpses and limbs strewn about, he was steadfast about his mission, set on claiming whatever was beckoning to him deep in the bowels of the ancient building that seemed to breath with its stone lungs, breath that seemed to carry a voice through the adventurers ears, teasing him with a language that no longer existed and only a select civilization knew how to understand and use, but those who knew the language had long died out hundreds of years ago, leaving behind their stories that would never be read, books that could never be understood even by the most professional of translators or brightest of scholars, an entire civilization lost but their artifacts of power still remaining to be claimed by the brave soul that dared come within to try and claim it. AEthian walked past the glowing pillars engraved with the glowing glyphs, studying every single one, trying to decipher just what the ancients had left behind in their wake before dying out. He took notes as he crept deeper into the darkened abyss, the tug on his soul only growing stronger with every step he took, a force dragging him further and further from the exit…. And from his only route of escape if something should go awry. He took a breath, gagging slightly as the rotting stench once against invaded his nostrils filling them with the sickening smell of death and destruction before trudging past the silently screaming corpses and into a much smaller tunnel, the walls seeming to heave with every breath the temple took, the rotting timbers creaking and buckling as the air rushed past the Wolf’s ears, carrying more of the indiscernible language through the wind. He kept his paw on a dagger which was sheathed in his belt, poised to strike at any threat that he might come across “Whatever killed those poor bastards…. Must still be here” he growled, blackened eyes scanning this way and that as a tall shadow dashed right before his eyes. The dagger flew from its sheath in a movement faster than the eye could comprehend as the razor sharp blade glinted in the dull light of the tunnel, ready to dig into AEthian’s foe, whatever or whoever it might be. His heartbeat quickened as adrenaline began coursing through his veins, the hairs on the back of his neck standing up straight as his ears pivoted left and right, eyes still scanning through the darkness, searching for his assailant in the nearly pitch black cavern. “Must be my eyes playing tricks on he…” he sputtered, sheathing his weapon back on his belt as he continued to inch deeper and deeper into the ruins, paw ready to grab at the dagger at a moment’s notice should the shadow appear again…

After what seemed like hours, the Wolf exited the confined space of the tunnel, wandering into a larger room which contained more of the runic symbols etched into the walls, symbols which were much more intact than the others he had seen before, the amount of bloody carnage had also decreased significantly as now there were only a few skeletons scattered around the room, the meat long ago rotted away leaving the cracked boned most of which had been gnawed on by a creature with the teeth to match the deep scars in the bone. AEthian scanned the room over and over again, picking up on every small detail he could as he carefully entered the chamber, the words on the air becoming louder and more audible than before as they seemed to dig straight into the male’s brain, bouncing around within the adventurers skull. He came to the center of the chamber, the ceiling nowhere to be seen as it seemed to carry on forever, clouded only by a thick layer of mist which concealed anything that might be above. Without warming, the tall shadow appeared again, this time giving the wolf a solid shove to the side, the figures claws scraping across the front of AEthian’s chest plate, leaving scores in the material before disappearing once again. He drew his dagger, black eyes glaring into the darkness, scanning for whatever it was that came after him, ready to slice it to ribbons with surgical speed and precision “Come out coward! I fear nothing of your kind” he snarls, scanning through the chamber before spotting something that sent a shiver down his spine as his eyes caught the gaze of the creatures bright orange eyes that seemed to cut through the pitch black like a hot knife through butter, surrounded by a ghostly fire which matched the color of the sinister eyes before vanishing once again. AEthian’s head pivoted this way and that, trying to find the black figure once again as the sound of claws on the stone floor rang throughout the chamber, seeming to echo off of every wall with the terrible sound. Soon, the footsteps stopped and the entire room went eerily silent before the sound of nails on a chalkboard cut through the silence and dug straight into the wolf's ears causing him to quickly clap his paws to his head in an attempt to muffle the ear splitting noise which made every hair on his body stand on edge. “I refuse to play your games beast! I won’t fall prey to your tricks any longer!” he barked, quickly reaching into his bag, retrieving what looked like a flare and quickly igniting it….. That is the moment the Wolf would learn what he was truly up against as the creature that was taunting him not stand just a few feet away, orange eyes burning brightly against the glow of the flame. AEthian froze in place, seemingly paralyzed by the creature's gaze, the orange fire burning at the air as it left its ghostly trails around the monster's head which inched closer and closer, the words in the air were now the sound of screams which filled the poor adventurers with the sounds of death and destruction, no longer were they they words of ancient wisdom like they were before “W-what the fuck are you?!” he stammered as the creature paused its advance, now clearly illuminated by the fire's glow which also revealed the thing to be a Crux…. But what a Crux would be doing here perplexed the Wolf…

Morphine glared at the male who had now invaded his sanctum, staring right into the eyes of the trembling Wolf with his piercing orange eyes “It matters not what I am, adventurer… What matters now is why are you trespassing in my domain… You clearly ignored the multiple signs to turn back and here you are, gazing at what will now be the death of you” he snickered, reaching out to drag a clawed digit down the front of the males chestpiece, scoring the material slightly before retracting his paw to his side. The Crux was much bigger than the Wolf, standing a staggering eight foot tall at the ears with a very slender build and crimson stained fur…. A true killing machine is what now stood right in front of AEthian. “You think I will fall like the others that have tried to enter, beast?! You clearly don’t know me very well then” The Wolf growled, teeth bared as he slashed his dagger outwards, the shimmering blade hitting its mark as it sliced into the Crux’s chest, parting the tight skin and leaving a deep, weeping wound as the first strike was made against his assailant. He sprang backwards, putting some distance between the creature and himself as his cloak was deposited onto the floor in a heap. “I won’t fall prey to you, beast… I will be the victor…. Not a victim” he barked, holding his dagger out in front of his chest, Morphine’s vile blood clinging to the edge of the blade as he poised himself for another strike. Morphine grunted as the pain surged through his body, placing his paw on the fresh wound as it began to weep his foul blood, staining the rock floor below. He bared his teeth at the Wolf who now stood a few feet away, dagger drawn and ready to slice again “You will DIE here like all the rest you arrogant pest! No one has left here alive and you surely won’t be the first!” he snarls, his jagged and razor sharp teeth glinting in the dull light of AEthian’s dropped torch which was the only source of light in the chamber, the bright glow casting shadows throughout the room. The Crux dashed into one of the tall shadows on a pillar, concealing himself in the darkness once again before lashing out, jumping high into the air as his claws extended from his digits, aimed straight for the adventurers throat. The moment the Crux disappeared behind the pillar, AEthian’s eyes went wide, scanning throughout the darkness as he tried to find just where the creature went…. But it was too late, Morphine had already launched his attack which was aimed straight for the the Wolf’s throat. He quickly stepped to the side, moving out of the direct path of the oncoming Crux but the attack still landed, it might have not been his throat but the creature’s claws dug deep into the adventurer’s chest, ripping the chest plate free and slicing right through the skin and fur on the Wolf’s chest as three jagged lines were gouged into AEthian’s chest, his crimson blood sent spattering onto the floor as he fell to his knees, gasping for breath as the sheer force of the strike had knocked the wind from his lungs, leaving him wheezing in an attempt to catch his breath “L-lucky hit! It will be your last” The Wolf snarls, getting to his feet and digging around in his pouch, collecting small throwing knives and aiming them straight for Morphine’s chest before throwing them with lightning speed. The Crux with the ground, claws scraping into the stone, leaving deep scars in the floor before spinning around just in time to see AEthian throw the small knives, the glint of the metal catching his eye as he brought his claws up to slice clean through the projectiles, sending the pieces clattering to the floor but one made it through his defense and finding its mark in his shoulder, piercing right through the the tight skin and embedding itself in his muscle. He grabbed the knife and yanked it free, sending a spray of black bloor onto his chest and walls “Hmph, well. Don’t you feel clever, it’s a shame you won’t be able to tell anyone about your heroic adventure” he growls, throating the small blade to the floor and lunging directly at the Wolf who stood only a few feet away, grabbing AEthian by the throat with a movement faster than the eye could possibly comprehend, hoisting the male off of his feet as the pair came face to face, the Wolf’s black eyes dancing wildly within their sockets as the Crux’s bright orange gaze burned directly into the male’s head “I’m done with your petty games, fool. This is there you die”......

AEthian had no time to react as he now found himself held by the throat, the Crux’s claws digging into his skin, piercing holes in his skin as he struggled for breath, muffled gasps were the only noises he could make as his airway was crushed by the more powerful males grip which only seemed to get tighter with every pained struggle he made. The voices in his head screamed in agony as every escape option he could possibly think of was torn away with every passing second he remained in the creatures hold. He glared into Morphine’s eye’s, the burning orange eyes pierced into his own as his entire body became completely numb, paralyzed by the Crux’s gaze. ‘This is it…. I’ve… Lost’ he told himself as the monster’s jaws parted wide, exposing a ring of razor sharp teeth, most of which were still stained a dull crimson from the past meals the guardian of the ruin’s had devoured…He gazed into the drooling maw in utter terror as it would be the last thing he ever saw…. Alive… Morphine quickly spread his jaws, huffing hotly and washing the males face in hot breath that smelled of rotting meat and digestion, a smell that would make anyone’s stomach turn just by catching a whiff of the foul stench which emanated from the Crux’s throat. He wasted no time in quickly stuffing the Wolf’s head down into his awaiting gullet, the hot and slick flesh eagerly wrapping around its prey’s head and worked to pull the doomed adventurer deeper into the monster’s chest with each swallow followed by a loud GULLLLK. Morphine groaned as his throat was stretched and distended outwards by AEthian’s head and soon, his shoulders as the male was sucked further and further into the Crux’s jaws, thick drool being sent spattering all around the pair as it soaked the limp Wolf’s entire body which made everything delightfully slick and easy for the monster to swallow down at a frightening rate as now, he worked his powerful jaws over the male’s chest, his jagged teeth digging into his prey’s already sliced skin, the wounds beginning to bleed and fill the Crux’s mouth with the Wolf’s blood which sent him into a frenzy and made him only want more…. Morphine tilted his head back, thrashing about wildly which send the poor male’s legs flailing about in a rather comedic fashion as they were sliced against those jagged teeth which inhabited the Crux’s maw until the forces of gravity kicked in and sent AEthian down that abyssal gullet with a few short swallows until all that remained were the Wolf’s squirming feet which were generously slathered in drool before they too…. Were sent right down the tight passage.

The Wolf was forced to curl up tightly within the creatures tight gut, the walls expanding and contracting as the air was filled with the sound of Morphine’s heart beat along with the gastric churning and groaning of the monsters digestive tract “You should haven’t ignored the signs that were put there for you to leave, boy” The Crux snickered, kneading his paw into the squirming mass that was his Wolf filled gut, working the caustic slimes into AEthian’s battered body as the open wounds acted as gateways into the male’s frame. The Lupine thrashed about wildly within his captors gut, pushing hard against the paws that pressed down and kneaded against his sizzling skin “M-monster! Release me this instant!” he screamed, punching hard against the folds in the Crux’s gut only to have himself utterly soaked in the fizzing and bubbling gunk which eagerly began to eat away at his fur, melting it off as it was added to the vile ichor which already inhabited Morphine’s roiling stomach. The voices in his head ceased, only to be replaced by the sickening sounds of himself being digested alive, the heavy GRRRGL’s and GLRRRN’s rang in his ears as pain now entirely encompassed his body from the nerve endings being fried and eaten away…. Soon, he felt nothing, the slime having eaten his skin away along with the sensitive nerves before his muscles were the next things to go. Tendons and ligaments snapped and curled beneath the onslaught of acidic attacks and muscle was ripped free from the poor Wolf’s bones leaving him bare…. AEthian collapsed within the guardians stomach, with no structure to hold himself together his body fell apart, bones crumbling and cracking as they too were utterly destroyed by the hellish processes of the Crux’s stomach as it sagged and became more rounded, bouncing slightly as Morphine continued to knead and slosh the added weight around “But in the end, this place will be your tomb….” he laughs before a loud belch cut him off, a chunk of the Wolf’s still bubbling meat being coughed up and spat onto the ground, the chunk still bubbling as it was reduced to a pile of mush on the stone “But I have other plans for you, adventurer…” he chuckled, giving his gut a good slap, the mass within sloshing about from the impact. AEthian’s soul tried to free itself from the confines of the monsters gut, but something was stopping it, hindering its ability to escape and run away…

What kind of other sinister plans did the Crux have for the poor boys very essence? The thing that made him what he is… He didn't want to think about it but he continued to feel his soul being tugged and pulled by another, darker force as the very fibers of AEthian’s soul were warped and twisted in horrific ways, changing him in ways he never could have thought possible! Ways that should not even be possible for someone such as him, someone who had many souls of his own…. But it seemed to not matter as he was bend and reshaped, his soul corrupted like a piece of old data that Morphine played with. The Crux slammed his paw against one of the ancient pillars, the runes glowing a bright orange to match his own, the same wispy fire returning to his eyes as words of a language that no longer, or ever existed were chanted, the noise growing louder and louder before a loud bang was heard, the entire cavern shaking as it a bomb had gone off deep within. “You will be another one of the guardians here, Wolf…. This place will be your eternal prison, to serve me” he snarls as AEthian’s soul was ripped free from his stomach and encased in the stone, the fire in Morphine’s eyes burning like a raging inferno as the males soul was further corrupted and twisted, changed into something more sinister… Something AEthian never thought he could be changed into. With his soul now entrapped in the ancient stone, he could feel his very essence being warped, shifted in the dark and chaotic ways of the Crux’s sorcery… Then heard those words which sent a shiver down his spine ‘Eternal…. Prison’ were the words which rattled his thoughts before a sharp, stabbing pain overtook him as slowly, he was returned to the physical realm… But something was wrong, this wasn’t what he looked like when he entered the tomb! “Arraaagg, what is this?!” he screamed as muscle and flesh formed over the bare bones of a creature which was definitely not a Wolf…. But instead… Another Crux, a minion to the one who created him as Morphine stood there and watched, a twisted grin on his face as his new creation came to life. AEthian hit the floor with a THUD, muscles and flesh still forming around his bones before black fur began to appear, accented by white stripes here and there, an almost exact replica of Morphine. He stumbled to get to his feet, clearly not used to his new form of being as his legs collapsed quite a few times like a newborn fawn. Finally he managed to get himself up off of the floor, digging his claws into the stone pillar which trapped him earlier “W-what have you done to me?!” The new Crux snarled, holding a paw out to Morphine with a glare in his eyes “I made you better…. And now you can use that new form to guard this place which will now be your eternal playground” Morphine laughed, his voice booming off of the walls as the ancient room seemed to echo his laughter. He kicked AEthian square in the chest, launching the shaky creature from his hold on the pillar onto the floor below, the impact shattering the stone below “You won’t be leaving anytime soon so I suggest you get used to that new body of yours” he snarled before turning away but pausing as he was about to leave “Oh and as for your soul….. I took the liberty of removing it… You won’t be needing it anytime soon” he laughed before walking away, leaving poor AEthian alone on the floor, scrambling to get up before Morphine disappeared…. Forever

The final call
Written by Raphael the Ferret
Featuring Kalibur Wolf

It was a warm and breezy summer afternoon, the hustle and bustle of the city was quite alive at this time as shops and businesses were in full operation. But, within the busy streets there lie a danger, a danger that would lurk among the shadows, plotting and planning his next move. Raphael was a thief, it’s what he was good at and his next heist was tonight, right here in the cities center. He strolled about from corner to corner, a black hoodie concealing his tattered face as he eyed the others around him, as well as the security systems of the local shops. He wandered into a high end tech shop, seems the black market was always looking for today’s new and shiny toys that could be taken apart and made into new things. With a glance here and a peak there, it was obvious this wasn’t going to be an easy job, the security systems here were fairly complex in their nature and there were countless fail-safe’s that protected the millions in shiny electronics which ranged from phones to high-grade laptops “This is it, this is what I hit tonight….” he muttered to himself as he made another sweep of the room, taking pictures of the hidden sensors that were scattered throughout the shop, sensors what would pick up even the smallest bits of movement and signal the alarm for help…. He needed to rethink this plan. Raphael thought about his new course of action, stepping outside for a moment and pulling a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, retrieving one, and pressing it between his lips before lighting it and taking a long drag of the nicotine stick. “Sensors on the walls, windows, and floor… That’s not counting the main ones on the doors…. Shit, this isn’t going to be easy now is it” he chuckled as his phone rang, seems the buyer for the electronics was getting antsy and wanted the delivery much sooner than originally planned “......You want them when?! You do realize this place is locked up tighter than a miser’s wallet, right?” “We don’t care, get us the goods or your head rolls along the docks” the voice on the other end said before promptly disconnecting, leaving the ferret to think about his new time frame…. And how little time he had left if he wanted his head still on his shoulders. He waited till closing time before wandering into the shop, remembering the plan he had in his head for how this was all about to go down. He walked over to a table which held the high-end laptops, gazing down at the metallic objects before a voice cut off his train of thought. “Sir, you are going to have to leave, the store is closing now, you can come back tomorrow” a rather thin and scrawny fox said, dangling a ring of keys from a single finger and beckoning Raphael out the door. The motion was quick as it was precise as the ferret snatched the key ring from the worker and promptly booted him into the office, slamming the door and sealing the vulpine in with the turn of the key “Sorry, but I need some rush deliveries” he laughed, smashing the store’s alarm panel and disabling the entire system…. Or so he thought…

Kalibur patrolled the city’s center, it was always the busiest place to be around closing time as all the shops locked their doors. It was a job he took pride in, but with his programming he didn’t have much of a choice if he liked it or not! The wolf was cybernetic with some rather hefty augmentations to boot which made him a rather admirable foe for whoever decided to break the law, but with software that needed to be updated and parts that needed replacement, he was wearing down from normal duty. He continued to patrol the streets, giving a friendly nod to anyone who acknowledged him on his route, after all, he was the face for the city’s Police Department and wanted to send a good message to the people even with all of the anti law enforcement movements going on around him and throughout the city. Suddenly, his radio went off and a crackling voice came through the static “All area unit’s, report of a 211 with a 171 in progress in city central electronic depot, please respond” “Great, a robbery and a hostage situation…. Let do this” he grumbled before taking off into a full sprint, his augmentations allowing him to run a blistering speeds through the tight streets, darting this way and that between people and around cars before arriving on the scene “On location, one male subject…. Species unknown” he responded to dispatch before drawing his sidearm and opening the door.

Raphael could only hear the dull whimpering of the fox in the locked office as he pleaded to be released, but it wasn’t going to happen as the ferret continued to smash cases of electronics and load them into his duffle bag… But something was off, something happened and he had a feeling this heist was about to get a lot more difficult and the minute he heard the click of a radio he knew “Fuck…. Cops” he muttered under his breath as he saw the wolf draw his piston and wander inside, aiming at his head. “Put your hands up and drop the bag, now! Make any sudden movements and you hit the floor scum bag” Kalibur snarled, keeping the pistols laser sight focused on Raphael’s chest. “Walk away cop, you don’t want any part in this… Trust me” he chittered, cracking his knuckles before turning to face the police officer “You want my hands up? Fine~” he snickered, drawing a tablet from behind his back and throwing it like a disk at the wolf and quickly darting around the room, ripping his hoodie off in one swift movement, exposing his face to Kalibur. The ferret might be quick but the wolf was quicker, dodging the slung tablet by mere inches and opening fire on the patchwork creature that darted around the room, the fox in the office screaming from the sudden gunshot’s “Dispatch! Shots fired! Suspect is attempting to flee!” Kalibur barked into his radio, a simple click of acknowledgement coming from dispatch in response to his call. He squeezed the trigger again, this time hitting Raphael in the chest with a dull thud, sending the ferret spinning to the ground “Gah! You motherfucker! You think you can stop me with your little pea shooter?!” Raphael snarled, the wound on his chest already weeping black blood that was sent dripping to the ground in a small puddle “You can’t stop me~” he laughed, kicking the wolf’s gun from his paws and bouncing back into a fighting position, ready to take this cop head on! “Dispatch, bullets have no response on subject, moving to a more traditional method” Kalibur said into his radio before pulling his shock baton from its holster and snapping it into action as it sparked to life “you chose the wrong cop to fuck with…. Boy” he barked, baring his teeth and readying himself for the hand to hand fight. With a flash or fur and metal, the pair went at it like wild animals, Raphael working off of primal instinct and Kalibur running off of programming, it was quite the sight to behold as fists flew and the baton crackled with electricity…. One of them would have to give in soon enough. The ferret watched the mechanical wolf’s movements, he studied them until he found the pattern…. The pre-recorded set of movements that were programmed into Kali’s head were soon used against him as the patchwork creature adjusted his footing and lashed out, sending the electric baton skittering across the floor and into the wall… But the fight had left him bruised and battered, and the gunshot to his chest wasn’t helping one bit, but he had one last trick up his sleeve that he was sure would work “Try this on for size…. Big boy~” he chuckled.

Kalibur continued to fight against the larger foe, the ferret standing a good foot taller than his own frame and it was proving more and more difficult to take this one down. He continued to fight, the same bits of coding repeating in his head as the training flashed through like the days in the academy until it failed. He yelped as a solid kick sent his baton to the floor and out of reach, despite him being augmented, there were still nerves throughout his body and the pain was tremendous as bones and tendons snapped like twigs beneath Raphael’s force which sent the wolf reeling in pain “You bastard! This is assault and you will be executed for this!” he snarled, baring his teeth as Raphael took another stance… But he knew the robber couldn’t go on much longer with that heaving wound on his stitched chest “It seems you are wearing out, give up now and I will make it quick” he growled, slowly approaching the ferret but still on guard if he tried anything. Raphael breathed heavily, the physical exertion had worn him out greatly but he wasn’t about to give up…. He still had one more idea. He lifted his tail, letting the maw on the end of it gaze at the wolf as the eyes shot open and stared directly into the police officer’s augmented stare as light swirls appeared within the dull grey sockets of the tail maw, slowly hypnotizing the cop. It was at this moment, Kalibur broke inside, the hard programming seeming to crumble within as the hypnosis took effect on his brain, calming him down and drawing him closer to the parted jaws of the ferret’s tail which sent drool spattering to the floor in a slimy puddle “That’s it… Feel yourself drawn in nice and close~” he snickered as his tail began to coil around the officer, working it’s way around Kalibur’s entire frame and squeezing him like a snake would it’s captured prey…. There was no escape for him now as his mind shattered into a million pieces from the extremely effective hypnosis of the tails eyes. “And now your world ends….. Cop” Raphael chittered as his tail continued to move around the dazed wolf, the tail’s jaws parting wide and hovering just over the male’s head until….. “Any last words? No? Good…. No none will hear you” he laughed as the tail maw engulfed Kali’s head with a swift motion, plunging it into a wet and slimy tunnel that smelled of rotting flesh and meat as gastric slime began to quickly soak into the augmented wolf’s fur and skin while rivers of drool flowed freely from the parted jaws of the ferret’s long tail…. Seems that appendage has quite the appetite indeed!

This was nothing new to Raphael, this is the way he usually dealt with all of his enemies or those who stood in his way of getting what he wanted, in his eyes? The wolf was just another sorry sap who was being turned into a meal and that fact would be hade more apparent for Kalibur when the tail’s jaws parted wider and engulfed his broad shoulders and continued downwards, coils being replaced by wet flesh as he was devoured right then and there….. And also… Alive. His radio went off again “Unit respond, what is your status…. Come in unit!” the voice crackled but would have no response as the wolf was fully under the ferrets control “Such a shame the force is going to be losing its poster boy…. Sucks to be you” Raphael chuckled as he began to rub as his slowly distending tail as it continued to devour the wolf in the store, the spread jaws now beginning to work over the males chest and down to his hips, sucking those too right into his powerful gullet with rather lewd GLLLLLK’s and SCHLLLLK’s as more and more of Kalibur simply disappeared within the weasels ravenous tail, stretching the tattered and discolored fur. Raphael groaned as his tail was bloated and stretched by the meal, a feeling he didn’t get often but boy did he enjoy it as the final bits of wolf were sucked into his tail’s drooling jaw. With a hard shove, he sent his tail falling to the ground with a dull THUD as the wolf’s feet were quickly sucked inside before the maw’s jaws snapped shut, sealing Kali inside and also…. Sealing his fate as nothing more than a meal for the robber “Mmm, thanks for the meal…. And thanks for letting me escape” he snickered, collecting his duffle bag and once again filling it with electronics before grabbing his phone and making a call “Yeah, I’m on my way…. Of course I have the stuff, some poor fucking cop got in my way…. Yes, he’s been dealt with…. Okay, see you at the docks” he hung up the phone and donned his hoodie once again, the entire city would be looking for his stitched face and the gunshot wound wouldn’t be easy to hide but he made his way out of the store, dragging his heavy wolf laden tail along with his bag through the city streets.

Kalibur knew he was done for, the minute the hypnosis hit his brain he knew…. This was the end and he could do nothing to stop it from happening as his world went black both from his mind crumbling and the fact he was being devoured whole… And very much alive by the ferrets ravenous tail as he struggled to catch his breah in those tight coils that looped around him like thick rope. He struggled to mutter something in protest, try to move his limbs in an attempt to get away… But nothing worked, he had lost and his training had failed him… He was nothing more than a snack for Raphael as he was completely enveloped in the fleshy tunnel which expanded and contracted around his entire frame. The smell was terrible, a horrid mix of rotting flesh and raw meat assaulted his nostrils and made him gag, all his time in the force could never have prepared him for this and thus…. He couldn’t fight against the mental warfare which was a battle he had lost for the first time. Kalibur felt the tail’s tongue lap and wrap around his ankles, dragging him fully inside as he was sent to the floor, bouncing around inside like a limp piece of meat, fully encased by the fleshy prison that now seeped gastric ooze around his frame. It burned but there was nothing he could do to stop it, he couldn’t even reply to his radio, his limbs wouldn’t work and his mind was too scrambled to make sense of anything that was happening… But he still felt the pain, the harsh, stabbing pain as the acids moved around the outside of his body, finding every little nook and cranny they could seep into and bite, washing his fur away into a sea of black ichor that stewed about in a vile soup. But that was just the beginning as soon the tail’s jaws snapped shut, sealing his fate and he knew it was over… For the first time he had let the bad guy win...And there was nothing he could do to stop it other than fight.. But how could he? The psycological warfare that was raging in his head wouldn’t let him do anything other than groan in pain and wriggle slightly in the dark abyss of the tails long and tight gut which worked to completely erode his entire frame right then and there. Soon, he felt himself moving, he heard the sounds of being drug through the streets inside of Raphael’s tail as he continued to digest within, the caustic juices eating him alive and making him softer and softer as his vision went blurry from the pain as well as the fact that the acids had compromised his eyes until he couldn’t see anything anymore, his eyes, scorched from the digestive juices rolled around in their sockets as they were turned into liquid, rendering the doomed wolf blind and in agony. It wouldn’t take long or the acids to compromise his entire frame as the slime bit deep into his muscle and washed it away into the sea of muck and mush, the pain crippling his entire body before…. It was over, he had lost for the first and last time to the ferret. Kalibur’s world went black as the acids bit into his head, stewing his brains around in his skull, killing the wolf right then and there as Raphael made his way to the docks.

Raphael continued through the streets, grunting from the sheer weight of his bloated tail as he dragged it along the ground. He heard the all too familiar sounds of digestion as low GRRRRGGLLL’s and BRRBBBLLLLSLOSSH’s were heard very clearly through the stretched skin of his tail as a trail of fizzling soup was left behind him like a trail of breadcrumbs where ever he walked until he finally arrived at the docks, and not a minute too soon either, he wandered over to the group that was awaiting his arrival and was stopped by a rather large black bear, one who towered over himself despite being as tall as he was “Do you have the goods?” the bear asked, pointing to the duggle bag “Of course I do, does your boss think I am an idiot?!” Raph snarled, placing the bag in front of the bear and pulling back the zipper, exposing the millions of dollars of electronics that were hidden inside “There, thats everything you asked for and it was hell trying to get away with it….. Fucking cops got called and well…. I had to deal with him” he laughed, pointing to his bloated tail as the sounds of digestion continued to emanate from the squirming and bubbling mass. The bear nodded and hoisted the bag into the back of a large SUV, slamming the door shut and grabbing a silver briefcase and handing it to Raphael who quickly opened it, revealing the money he was promised and a little extra for his troubles “There’s your fucking money… Now get lost rodent” the bear commanded in a rather demeaning tone as he shooed the ferret away with a large paw “Oh… Yes sir~” Raph chittered before scampering away to a nearby warehouse and propping himself up against a wall, caressing his still rather large tail and kneading into it roughly, helping to quicken the digestion of the poor bastard inside that gastric hell. “A good meal and a good amount of cash for my wallet… Guess you won’t be going home tonight you stupid cop” he laughed, continuing to mush his paws into his tail, feeling the solids floating around inside “But those metal parts…. We have to get rid of those now” he sighed, pressing down onto his tails middle and prying the maw back open. With a hard push and a loud gagging noise, bones and metal chunks were sent to the floor in a fizzling heap of stomach juice and still digesting meat that bubbled on the ground, the noxious fumes making Raph’s eyes even water a bit as he picked out anything of value before grabbing the wolf’s skull and holding the acid charred bone in his paw, dragging a claw over the dulled metal on the cybernetic head “What a waste” he snickered before digging his claws into the empty eye sockets and ripping the skull in half and sending the pieces to the floor in a heap of other bones and metal plates. He noticed something glinting in the dull light, something gold or brass, he didn’t know until he picked it up and turned it around in his paw….. -Officer Kalibur- was the name etched into the badge he held “So that’s who you are… Well, sucks to be you” he laughed, tossing the badge on top of the skull and once again leaning on the wall and dozing off, content with how his day went…….

~Fin~

The “Friendly” lunch~
Written by Raphael the ferret


It was a bright and sunny spring day and what better way to spend these days than with friends? Well that’s what two friends thought to do to. It started out like any other day, the text message leading to the phone call that led to the meeting! It was a rather hot day for may with the temperature well into the 80 degree mark with high humidity. A perfect day to hide inside and kick back with the air conditioning at full blast. Raphael got into his car and made his way into town but stopping on the way to pick up some ‘party favors’ which mainly consisted of about twenty bucks worth of the Mary Jane. He got his goods and continued on his way, quickly replying to the texts Buldinn sent him before arriving at the sheep’s house shortly after. The pair kicked on the television and began the lazy day rituals and soon enough, the once full bag of pot was gone! Leaving the pair in a giggly mood… But it also left them both rather hungry which prompted a phone call to the closest pizza place for a large witl all the fixens as to hopefully sate the pairs appetite. Buldinn and Raphael had been friends for some time now and had become quite close to each other and thusly they had built a certain level of trust one would have with close friends. The only odd thing about their so called ‘relationship’ was the fact that Raphael was a ruthless predator who predated on just about anything he could find edible….. Which was just about anything and anyone unlucky enough to get caught in his gaping jaws. Buldinn on the other hand was as most sheep were. Peaceful and generally nice to others… But above all… They were prey to larger beasts like the ferret. But with a bond like the pair had, the thought that Raphael would snap was never really there, hence why Buldinn was still around and not digesting in the patchwork weasels gut.

With the pizza ordered, the wait began for the two friends as they rummaged through Buldinn’s cabinets for anything they could use to sate the massive appetite brought forth by the weed they had smoked prior. “Dude, when did they say the pizza was going to get here? I’m starving over here” Raphael groaned, patting his groaning stomach as it seemed to demand food this instant “It’ll be here soon man, just have to be patient” Buldinn replied, trying to calm the voracious ferret “Are you sure there is nothing here we can eat in the meantime?” the ferret asked, glancing around at the empty cabinets they had rummaged through in an effort to find some type of snack “I told you, there’s nothing here that’s why we ordered out… Remember?” the sheep sighed. With a huff Raphael turned to face his smaller friend with an odd look in his eyes… If the food didn’t get here in the next five seconds… Well…. Things would take a rather harsh turn for poor Buldinn. Raphael’s gut groaned and gurgled emptily from the lack of food and just the sight of his friend made his mouth water… Was he really considering doing what he was thinking of doing? They had been friends for so long and the betrayal would break the poor sheeps heart. But he was so hungry and would do just about anything to sate his massive appetite, it had to be done. He leaned over and went muzzle to muzzle with the sheep, letting his long tongue dangle out of his drooling maw as viscous slime spattered down Buldinn’s chest, matting the once soft fluff down. “H-hey.. Would it be weird if I like… Licked you? J-just for a quick taste?” he chuckled, letting his jaws part slightly as more drool formed around the edges of his maw. “Why would you want to do that dude? That’s just plain weird… But I guess if you have to, I trust you not to do anything stupid” Buldinn sighed, closing his eyes and allowing the ferret to get a good taste for sheep…. That would turn out to be the worst decision the sheep would ever make..

“Thanks man. Just a quick taste, I promise” Raphael snickered before giving the sheep a long and wet lick all around that fuzzy noggin and letting the rich taste he was rewarded with collect in his mouth… He wanted more… It just tasted too good to pass up. And with Buldinn sitting right there, eyes closed.. It would be so easy to gobble the poor boy up right here and now. His mind was set on food and with such an easy meal sitting here, he pushed the thoughts of friendship aside and did the unthinkable. Raphael grabbed the male’s shoulders hard, holding firm onto the sheep and opening his maw wide as strands of drool hung from his glistening teeth before spattering down onto Buldinn and utterly soaking him “Sorry pal… But I can’t wait for this pizza any longer” he chittered before jamming the sheep’s head right into his awaiting gullet with a loud GLLLLK which secured that drool soaked head within his throat, bulging it out slightly. “Wh-what do you mean sorry! Wait no! What are you doing?!” Buldinn cried out as his world went from bright and air conditioned to now dark and humid as the ferret greedily gobbled him up like a light snack “Just wait for the pizza man! You don’t have to do this!” he screamed but to no avail, Raphael had already made his mind up and continued his course of swallowing the boy whole…. And alive…. Raphael groaned as his throat swelled out with the entrance of the male’s head into his undulating gullet, the tough muscles contracting around his meals head made escape literally impossible. He perked his ears to listen to his friends cries for help and requests to be let go “I-i’m sorry... But you are nothing but food now.. Prey like you should know that us bigger predators always get what we want” he muttered, words slurred slightly from the sheep in his mouth. With a mighty push and a slight grunt, Raphael used his powerful arms to propel Buldinn further into his widening jaws as drool now ran freely down the sheep’s chest and shoulders making everything delightfully slick which made the ferrets job much easier in turn as now, Buldinn’s shoulders were the main source of the bulge in the monstrous ferrets abyssal gullet that continued to slowly drag its prey down into the murky abyss.
Buldinn continued to cry out helplessly as he was eaten whole and alive by someone whom he considered a close friend… Someone he thought would never do this to him… But he was dead wrong and the moment Raphael spoke those words he knew he had messed up big time “Y-you can still stop this! I swear, I’ll forget all about this and won’t tell anyone! J-just stop! PLEASE!” he cried, utterly devastated by the betrayal from his friend… It broke his heart to know that he was just another meal for this ruthless predator but it didn’t stop him from fighting with all he had to stop it from happening… But that fight was short lived as Raphael clamped his jaws down hard on the sheep’s chest, driving his razor sharp teeth right into Buldinn’s soft skin and piercing it here and there, leaving crimson streaks down the males body as blood began to ooze out of the open wounds. With the mix of the sheep’s taste and now the iron taste of blood mixing around in the ferrets mouth, it sent him into a frenzy as he continued to quickly gobble up his friend right there on the couch.

Did he feel bad for what he was doing? Of course he did but he pushed that thought aside and remembered that all Buldinn was, was food and nothing more at this point. “You arent getting out this time, sheep. Just shut up and quit your screaming” he sighed, washing the doomed male in a bath of hot and dank breath that smelled like the ferrets last meal… Or what was left of it anyways before taking another hard swallow and dragging the sheep straight down his distended gullet that squirmed and writhed with the males struggles for freedom… But it wasn’t happening and any noises the sheep made now would only be muffled noises to Raphael. With a pained and pleasured groan, Buldinn sank hip deep in the hungry ferret as once again those teeth clamped down like a bear trap on the boy’s soft and tender flesh, shredding it like a cheese grater.


Raphael lifted his head up to the ceiling and thrashed about wildly, sending his friends legs flailing about in a rather comedic fashion before the forces of gravity took hold and helped to quicken the sheeps descent into the churning pit that was the weasels stomach as it continued to groan with anticipation. With a final GULP, the sheep was pressed against the tight ring that led to Raphael’s stomach before being forced through it and sending Buldinn sliding face first into the vile ichor that slowly churned around, soaking the once soft fluff and beginning to eat it away with haste. Buldinn had barely any time to react as he was pushed through the tight ring and forced into his friend’s stomach “L-let me out! God dammit! LET ME OUT!” he shrieked as gastric juices now ate his fur away, adding it to the vile stew that sloshed around within the ferret “I swear! Ill give you whatever you want! J-just let me ou--- AUGHHH!” he screamed as acid hit his still bleeding wounds and bit into his ragged flesh that was torn to ribbons by Raphaels teeth. He continued to fight and push out at the stomachs folds, trying to find any means of escape… But there were none and the already tight chamber was quickly filling with more of the ferrets gastric juices that washed the once soft white fur away in a sea of gunk.

Raphael rubbed his slowly shrinking throat as the sheep’s hoofed feet now occupied his mouth. He gave them a vigorous chewing before sending them too, straight down his gullet and snapping his jaws shut, sealing the males fate as nothing more than a light snack. “Mmmmm, just as good as I thought you would be friend… Now shut the fuck up and digest before the pizza guy gets here!” he laughed, kneading into his gurgling and wriggling gut as to help coat Buldinn completely in his stomach’s juices that continued to bite into his prey with added vigor. The process was by no means delicate or gentle… It was harsh and very painful. Afterall, stomachs were no place for anything that was meant to live anyways!


He kicked back on the couch and licked the remaining drool from his lips before a loud and guttural belch seemed to shake the entire house as the little amount of air that was trapped in his gut was expelled, making things a bit more tighter for poor Buldinn as the ferrets long stomach contracted tightly around the males frame, making efforts of struggling nearly impossible as more and more of the sheep’s frame eroded away, sloshing off into the sea of muck that was turning a dull shade of dirty crimson as blood was leaking freely out of the fading sheep. “And now all I gotta do it wait for the pizza guy… And hope he doesn’t get any ideas about this gut I’ll be packing” he chuckled to himself as another loud GLLLLRN emanated from his stomach as he continued to mush and knead his gut as the sheep’s frame finally broke apart from the harsh and unforgiving acids that ate the male away to nothing. He was satisfied with what he had done, sure he lost a friend over it but hey… Free food. Even the pizza would be free as he still had Buldinn’s credit card from the wallet that lie on the table. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Raphael hefted himself up and off of the couch, sending his sloshing gut bouncing this way and that as he waddled to the door, wallet in hand. “Order for a Mister uhhhh….. O-oh god..” the delivery boy froze with fear as he gazed at the monstrous ferret.. Seems Raphael had forgotten to clean the blood from his chin and pretty much gave away the fact he devoured his friend just moments prior “Y-you stay away from me you monster! Im ‘outta here!” he stammered, dropping the pizza in the process before taking off in a hurry.

“Huh, guess this is on the house too~”

End~

Please note, there is blood and gore near the end of the story and it gets pretty graphic. Enjoy~


It was crisp, cool spring day. The flowers had just begun to bloom and trees just starting to become a brilliant shade of green. With the coming warmer weather, more and more people had decided to come out of their winter slumps, and venture out into the warming climate, which in turn, brought people to the small pet store that was located just on the other side of town. It was a small quaint little shop that had the basics covered. Cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, every little kids dream. But, there was one different little creature that was a rather new addition to the mix. Aside from the rather easy to care for pets, there was one that stood out. Long, lanky, and full of chuffs and chitters, it was a ferret! He wasnt everyone's first pick, but he happily rolled around his cage until the day came that someone finally pointed the finger at him and said "That one! Daddy can we please get that one?" A little girl squealed with delight and excitement, "A ferret is alot of work, Valencia. You're going to have to clean him AND his cage. Are you sure you dont just want a cute little kitty?" the father asked, trying to sway Valencia from the rather smelly weasel. "No, daddy. I want him. I already have a name picked out... Raphael, and he's coming home with us" she seemed to almost command as her father groaned but nonetheless nodded his head and called a sales-person over, "I guess this little guy is coming home with us, we are also going to need all the required supplies for ferrets, as well." The sales clerk nodded and quickly went to work gathering all the needed items for keeping a ferret. A cage, bedding, food, water bottle, all the supplies for keeping the little weasel happy. "That should do it, sir!" the sales clerk said, "Then I guess its time to take little Raphael home" the father grumbled, pulling out the required cash and collecting the item's "Come now, Valencia. Lets get out new friend home" he chuckled, loading the boxes into the car. Valencia was practically bouncing at this point as her new pet bounced around inside the small card board box "Oh thank you daddy! I promise to take good care of him!" she beamed as the car started and began to rumble off towards home.

A few months had passed and the cool spring weather had made way for summer. Raphael and Valencia were inseperable and went pretty much everywhere together. Who would have known a girls best friend was a ferret? She did what she promised her father, regularly cleaning the cage and making sure Raphael was clean smelling and rather fluffy. Things were going great for this pet store ferret as he had adjusted to his new life pretty well! Meals were never late and Valencia was never short on giving him all the attention and love he could ever ask for. He bounded around the room, bouncing and hopping everywhere to the amused bewilderment of the girl whom he made so happy. The summer carried on and the pair still went everywhere together, even on the family vacation and to multiple family outings. Sure, people stopped and stared at the snuffling ferret but it didnt deter Valencia from bringing her best friend along for adventures. "Valencia, my dear. Why dont you go give your friend a break from all this travel. I'm sure all this moving around has him all tuckered out" her father said with a grumble. He would have rather seen his daughter pick out a cat or a more normal pet instead of this ferret, the weasel was beginning to irk him. "But daddy! I-i guess you're right.. He does seem rather sleepy" she whined, placing the yawning Raphael back into his clean cage and locking it. "Now, come my dear, lets get you to your friends house" the father commanded, escorting Valencia from the room and closing the door. This is where things would start to get ugly for the rather innocent ferret... His little life was about to take a rather dark turn..

Summer had ended and Autumn was now in full swing. The once lush green leaves were now turning brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows as the year began to wind down. Raphael's time with his human companion slowly began to dimish as Valencia returned to school, leaving the ferret alone with the girls father for hours on end.... Which wasnt a good thing at all... "C'mere you stinky little rodent.... Let's have some real fun!" the father grumbled, quickly unlocking the cage and yanking Raphael out of a peaceful slumber before taking the still yawning ferret to the basement. The father was a doctor of sorts. He had achieved his degrees in Bio-Mechanics and made a decent amount of money with his current job as a Biological Engineer which consisted of alot of testing on living subjects... Raphael was going to be the mans side project... The ferret chuffed and squirmed as the man forcefully tied the weasel onto what seemed to be a small surgical table before putting a mask over the ferrets muzzle and knocking him out.. "Now, let's just see if we can make this work.." the father snickered, a crooked grin tracing itself over his scraggly face, facial hair unshaved and grey as he pulled out a pair of glasses from his coat pocket right above a name tag that read -Claude DelMorte- Once he was sure the ferret was out cold, he began his tests. Claude poked and prodded different areas of Raphael, injecting extremely dangerous chemicals into the poor weasel as durastic changes began to take place. Horrid things that ranged from extreme muscle growth to changes in fur color... With the muscles growing so rapidly, patches of fur began to tear open and split, thus requiring Claude to quickly patch these areas with neon green surgical dressings. The little squares were scattered around Raphael's body as stitches lined the small ferrets body, making the weasel look rather grotesque and unsightly. "Goodness me. Who would have known these chemicals would have this effect!" he cheered, knowing the full effects of his new experimental drugs that were designed for humans with severe injuries. Suddenly, he heard a door open... "Valencia? Home already? How was your day sweet heart?" he yelled, quickly covering the sleeping ferret and running out of the room, locking the door behind him and making his way upstairs to greet his daughter.

Claude didnt expect his daughter home so early -shit, she's going to notice her little friend is missing- he thought, trying to think of what to say as he heard a scream and Valencia starting to cry "Where is he?! He was here when I left!" Valencia shrieked in disbelief, quickly running down the stairs, tears flowing freely from her blue eyes "Da-daddy! He's gone! Did you see him get out?!" she cried, grabbing tightly onto her fathers hands "Sweet heart! I took him to the vet! He uh.. He needed his shots so I dropped him off there.." Claude muttered, hoping the young girl would believe him as her tears now soaked his shirt.. "S-so you took him to the vet?? Wh-when will he be back?" she whined, wiping the tears from her eyes and pressing her face into her fathers shirt, sniffling still "Wh-when will he be back?" Valencia asked, still breathing heavily from crying. "Later tonight my dear, trust me. He's going to be just fine.." Claude reassured her before heading to the kitchen and fixing his daughter a snack. The life of a single father was tough, but he made sure to provide the best for his daughter after her mother died in a rather nasty accident. He did'nt like to talk about it but made sure to give the best life he could to his daughter. Claude fixed Valencia a sandwich and sent her to the living room to do her homework. "I'll be in my office if you need anything, alright?" he said softly, patting Valencia on the head before returning to his rather gruesome work...

When Claude returned to his lab he almost fainted from the sight of what was in front of him "Wh--what in gods name..." he muttered, gazing at his creation that now lie on the floor, spasming and much different than before. The drugs he had pumped into Raphael had worked better than he thought as the ferret was now much bigger than he anticipated. "Th-this is amazing! The board will finally realize what I, Claude Delmorte! Am capable of!" he shouted in victory. He had taken a much smaller animal and turned it into a man sized beast. Raphael stood just shy of seven foot tall, shadowing his creator by atleast a good foot and a half as Claude hoisted the still shaking ferret up to his feet and gazed at his creation "Goodness.... Even better than I could have imagined" he chuckled, poking at some of the exposed muscle that had popped through from the extreme growth, nothing a few more suture's couldn't fix. He got to work patching up the torn sections of the ferret, stitching up the areas the fur had torn before stepping back and admiring his work "Now that... It one hell of a ferret!" he yelled, glancing up and down his creation. He grabbed another syringe from the table and poked the sharp needle into the ferrets skin before pushing the plunger down, emptying the contents into Raphael's body. "There, now you should have some kind of thought process.." Claude mumbled, waiting as the drugs took effect. "Now! Speak!" he commanded. Raphael's eyes shot open, glancing around the room, it definitely wasnt the cage he was used to and he was definitely not the same anymore.. He groaned in pain, shuddering at the cold sting of the air in the lab hit his exposed stitches and sending a sharp pain through his raveged frame "Mmmmph, ughhhh.." He sounded more like a zombie at this point as the experimental drugs made connections in his brain, slowly things started to click.. "What.... Who? Where am I?" Raphael stuttered in utter confusion, testing the movements of his larger limbs, flexing his fingers and toes "What did you do to me?!" he shrieked, stumbling around and knocking bottles of harsh chemicals over, sending glass crashing to the floor. "Settle down! Take it easy now!" Claude instructed, trying to calm the ferret down and stop Raphael from destroying his lab "I did this to you! A new lease on life! My experimental drugs have worked much better than I originally intended, be happy you dont have to live in a cage anymore!" He said, trying to reassure Raphael that his new life was going to be great, when in fact... The hell had just begun as once again, Claude knocked the ferret out and laid Raphael on a much larger table, restraining the monster on his stomach....

Claude had devised something rater sinister indeed. Being a Bio-engineer, he could create whatever he wanted in a rather short time frame. "Now, if I can create one creature, I can surely combine two of them, right?" he snickered and began to create a new creature that more or less resembled a fuzzy snake with a rather large mouth on the end of it. It took hours for the tail to form, and even then, it was the size of a rat's tail. Claude injected the new creation with the same chemical that made the ferret grow to exponential size and results were rather alarming. The newly formed appendage quickly grew in size and length, falling off of the table and onto the floor with a wet -splat- before Claude quickly put the pink and hairless tail back onto the metal table "Well, that was quick... Now, lets see about attaching this to you... Mr. Ferret..." he snickered with a yawn and glancing at the clock, the digital display reading a dull -4:30am- It was late and he had to get Valencia ready for school in a couple hours and decided sleep was the best option. But he had work to finish here and pushed the dull thought of sleep out of his mind and resumed his work. Claude donned his gloves and grabbed a scapel, slicing clean through the ferrets limp tail as flesh and bone were seperated with east from the sharp blade, leaving a small stump on Raphael's back side "There, now we have something to attach your new tail too..." Claude said, grabbing the newly formed pink tail from the table and pressing it to the bleeding stump of what used to be the ferret's tail, stitching the two things together rather tightly and wrapping the entire area in clean bandages and glanced at the clock again with a loud yawn, it was almost 5am. He hung up his lab coat for the night and made sure the ferret was under heady sedation, just to make sure the monster wouldnt wake up till the morning, giving plenty of time for the surgery to heal.

Claude awoke to the sound of his alarm clock screaming at him. He glanced at it with a groan and checking the time -8:15am- shown on the display. He mustered his strength and got out of bed, quickly dressing himself and heading into the kitchen and began the process of making breakfast for his daughter whom he could hear in the distance of the house. Valencia came walking down the hall, a rather solemn look upon her face as she entered the kitchen "Daddy.... Where is Raphael? I-is he still at the vet's? Is everything alright?" she asked her father who was making eggs and bacon. "Sweetie... I have some bad news..." he mumbled, trying to contain himself "Raphael isn't coming home.... He has.. Passed away.. I'm sorry." he groaned, watching the tears begin to well up in his daughter's eye's "No! H-he was fine when he left! Yo--your're lying!" Valencia cried, not wanting to accept the thought that her fuzzy friend had passed on, but deep down she knew that her father was probably telling the truth. She ran back into her room and slammed the door, flopping onto her bed and crying rather loudly at the loss of her best friend whom she had done everything with, now all that was left were picture's and fond memories of the past. Claude walked into her room and sat beside his daughter, placing a comforting hand on Valencia's shoulder "It's going to be alright, dear.. I know it's hard loosing a pet but, they don't live forever you know." he said, trying to calm the girl down, but at the same time, trying to keep the idea that the ferret really did perish at the vets, alive in the young girl's mind "Just remember, your little friend will always be alive in your heart and in your thoughts" Valencia lifted her head, her eye's red from crying "H-he was my best friend, daddy.... We went everywhere together." she mumbled between gasps and tugging a stuffed ferret plushie to her face and beginning to calm down slightly "I just can't believe he's gone...." she cried, sniffling and wiping the tears from her face as Claude continued to comfort her. "It's going to be tough, yes. But, you will always have memories of him, you know that.. Now come to the kitchen, breakfast is ready and class starts soon." he said, walking back to the food he was cooking and placing the meal on a plate and serving it to Valencia before the girl ran out the door for school. He could finally go back to his work...

Claude quickly went back to his lab and donned his labcoat and gasping from what he saw on the lab table "H-how did this happen?!" he yelled, gazing at the ferret that lie on the table, new tail flicking in random directions. Everything about the tail was normal except for the fact that it was much longer and wider than a regular ferret's tail and more concerning.... It had a mouth on the end of it which was drooling heavily onto the floor as the cold dead eyes stared blindly about the room "Th-this is.... Amazing! Ive attached two living things together! People will talk about this for decades!" Claude shouted with accomplishment before grabbing a syringe and jabbing it into Raphael and injecting a fluid meant to wake the sleeping beast from his drug induced slumber. Raphael's eyes shot open as he woke up rather quickly and began to scream in pain from his tail being removed and another being attached. As he opened his mouth in agony, so did his tail. The two beings were even more connected than Claude thought as he watched the ferret squirm and writhe on the table, clearly in pain. "So, it seems the nerves have connected perfectly! And motor function seems to be there as well!" he mumbled, continuing to take notes and gaze at the flicking tail that had begun to grow short fur as soon, the once fleshy pink tail was now covered in striped black, grey, and green fur that matched the ferrets perfectly. Claude took in the sight for a few moments, taking pictures on his phone for future reference. He removed the restraints from the monster he had created and quickly backed away, not knowing what Raphael would do now that he was free. The ferret shifted uneasily off of the table and falling onto the floor with a dull -thud- and a groan before picking himself up onto his rather large feet, grimacing in pain as the full weight of his new tail dropped to the floor, stretching the tight stitches "Y--you monster! W-what have you done to my tail?!" he screamed, baring his teeth in anger and glaring at Claude "The amount of pain you have put me in! I should put you onto that lab table and 'experiment' with YOUR inner workings!" he snarled, clacking his jagged claws on the cold metal table. Claude was frozen with fear as his creation threatened such things against him "Y-you cant do that! I made you and I can take you apart again!" he yelled, grabbing a .38 revolver from a drawer and taking aim at Raphael, ready to shoot at a moments notice "I dare you to take a step closer...." he dared the ferret.

Raphael didn't have anything to lose. He has been taken away from the girl that loved him and turned into a monster in a rather painful manner. He stood a good foot taller than Claude and had no intentions of backing down from the humans threats "Go ahead.... Shoot... Me..." he snarled, taking another step towards his creator, hate filled eyes glaring at Claude with disgust. Claude did'nt hesitate to pull the trigger, firing the hot lead into Raphael again and again until the hammer struck down and hit a spent case.... All six bullets hit and the ferret hit the floor, bleeding heavily from the open wounds "There.... Now you can formally die..." Claude snickered, placing the empty pistol back into the drawer "Now stay down....". Raphael screamed in pain as the bullets tore clean into him, leaving charred holes in his discolored fur. "Y-you bastard... Yopu cant kill me..." he snarled, dragging himself back onto his feet and baring his rather impressive array of razor sharp teeth "I'm already dead..." Claude had barely anytime to react before the ferret bared down on him and grabbing his labcoat "No! How can this be! You are supposed to be dead! I---I shot you!" he yells, clearly terrified of the monster that he's created that now means to shred him. Raphael throws the human across the lab, sending Claude crashing through various beakers and vials before slamming into a wall "In all terms of speaking... I am dead.." Raphael muttered before stomping over to the writhing human, dark blood spattering on the floor from the ferrets open wounds. He shut out the pain and focused on how he was going to make the bastard human suffer dearly for what he had done. "This is where you die.... Doctor." Raphael snickered, wrapping a large paw around the males throat and lifting Claude off of the ground before dragging a claw across the humans chest and ripping the lab coat clean off "And you will feel the same pain I felt..." Raphael snarls, biting deep into Claude's shoulder and ripping a bloody chunk from the human sending a spray of crimson across the wall and onto the floor as the ferret continued his assault against his creator as Claude screamed and kicked, trying to escape the blood thirsty ferret.... But it didnt work. The doctors attempts at escape only enraged Raphael more as he tore into the males chest. Ribs snapped with ease as Raphael went to work on ripping the human apart, tossing bloody chunks onto the floor and coating the area in a dark crimson as Claude was disemboweled in the lab and dropped to the floor in a bloody slump "Guess you are'nt so indestructable after all...." Raphael growled as he went to work eating and eviscerating Claude, ripping off bloody chunks and sending them straight down his gullet and into his gurgling stomach. He hadnt eating in quite some time since being dragged into the lab. He finished his gruesome work with the human and stood up, observing the horrid state he was in from the actions that had taken place, it was time to wash his hands of the horrible deed. He found the labs emergency shower and pulled the chain, sending cold water pouring onto his blood soaked fur and becoming somewhat clean again.... He needed to find Valencia...

Valencia came through the front door and discarded her jacket and backpack onto the couch before wandering into the kitchen in search of a snack. She looked around for her father who was usually around to greet her and prepare a snack as he had done for years, but was no where in sight "Daddy? Where are you? Im home!" she yelled out with no response aside from a dull clicking of claws on tile as Raphael made his way through the house, quiet as to not disturb the child. Valencia collected her food and made her way to her room to study and do homework, little did she know the surprise she had waiting for her there... Raphael had snuck into the girls room, waiting for Valencia to enter. He wasnt sure how the child would react and was positive the reaction would be good in any sense, but he sprawled on the floor as he heard little foot steps approaching the door until it swung open. There was a look of utter fear and shock on Valencia's face as she gazed at what lie on her floor. It -looked- like a ferret, but bigger and differently colored, plus the tail wasn't normal at all. She dropped the plate of food and stifled a scream as Raphael stood up and towered over the child, careful not to spook the girl too much "Don't be afraid, child.... "It's me! Raphael! Y-your father..... Lied.." he mumbled, trying to keep his calm demeanor, as hard as it was "H-he stole me from you and locked me downstairs.... He turned me into this..... Monster." he stuttered, kneeling down to eye level with Valencia, gazing into the childs eye's with a chitter he did frequently before Claude stole him away.. Valencia was on the verge of tears, part from utter fright and the other part was that of happiness that her best friend had returned "Y-your're so big now ferret.... W-what happened?" she questioned, running a hand through the ferrets soft grey fur and pausing at the rough stitches that lined Raphael's frame "D-did my daddy hurt you? It looks like he did...." she mumbled before warmly embracing her best friend again as tears of joy began to stream down her face with the sheer delight of being reunited with her ferret. "Thats not important, child... But you're going to need to go somewhere else now... Your father is'nt well and had to leave for some time.." he sighed, wrapping his long arms around Valencia.

Night fell and Valencia had contacted her grandparents about leaving and they were more than delighted to take her in and were on their way to collect the child. "You're going to be going with them, child... You cant stay her and neither can I... I'm going to be leaving again and finding somewhere else to live.. It's not safe for me here." he said, placing a paw on the childs shoulder as if to reassure Valencia that everything was going to be okay. "Y-you cant leave! I'm sure people will love you! Just a big cuddly ferret!" she giggled, trying to convince Raphael to stay and come with her.. It wasnt going to happen "We both know that wont work.. I need to leave, again. But I'll always be around, you know that." he chuffed, handing numerous photos back to Valencia as a car pulled into the driveway "Your grand parents are here.... Its time to go.." Raphael sighed, nudging the child towards the door "I'm going to miss you Mr. Ferret..... I hope to see you again some day...." she stifled a sniffle and collected her things and proceeded to make her way outside and into the car before driving away, leaving Raphael alone in the house. "Some day...." he whined, blinking away a tear and heading into Claude's bedroom and collecting some clothes. He collected a black hoodie, a pair of sweat pants and a black shirt before heading out into the night, cloaked by the darkness..... Never to return again.
