It's late in the morning, I awoke to the bright sunlight scattering through the branches and leaves of the tree I'm sleeping in, I grimace covering my face to shield my eyes from the rays of the sun. "I knew I shouldn't have slept in the trees, at least if I were in a cave I would have been able to sleep longer without the blasted sun waking me up."
 
 
I sit up rubbing my eyes to get the gunk out of them, and opening them slightly to adjust to the light. I look-out around me, I've forgotten just how high up I am, about fifty-five feet off the ground. Getting my bearings and fully awakened, I start climbing down from the tree.
 
 
Upon reaching the ground the realization of just how messy sleeping in a tree is. I have twigs and sap stuck in my hair, and on my body, "great just more crap I got to deal with today. Thanks a lot you lousy tree!". With my annoyance toward the tree successfully vented, I decide to go to the river and wash myself along with what I'm wearing.
 
 
As I'm moving through the forest trail towards the river, a gentle breeze blows through the trees. The whooshing of the leaves against the wind, birds chirping all around, It almost reminds me of home.
Continuing in the direction of the river, I start comparing the trees here to trees in Titan Wood Forest.
"The trees here are like saplings in comparison to the titan wood trees back home." I miss visiting the titan wood tribes, the tree houses they have are a sight to behold, though sometimes I wonder why I ran away and left my family, why the humans started attacking our people? Ever since Prince Harold took over for his dying father King Saladin, things have become a nightmare for us. It's been six months since I left home. Why did everything have to turn out this way?
 
 
I continue moving, enjoying the sounds of nature, when I hear the familiar sound of rushing water. A line of bushes mark the river's edge. "Finally here at last."
I think. Arriving at Bark hide river.
 
 
I remove my cowhide bra and enter the water, "Whoooo this water's cold, not warm like back home. This place sucks. Well no use complaining, just grit and bear it." I start to wash my red hair, working to get all the dirt and twigs out. The slight curl returns as it hangs well past my shoulders. Such a pain to maintain. Once I'm done washing my hair I begin washing my chest and arms paying close attention to my breasts, they are on the larger side, dirt routinely gets trapped between them as well as under them, useless things I could do without them.
It's very annoying how demanding the human half of me is.
"I hate whoever my father was for getting with my mother. It is ridiculous having to wash all the time. Why couldn't I have been normal? I'm the only girl that has human skin in all of the village's back home. Everyone else is normal but me! None of the other girls have these bags on their chests, why did I have to be different? They don't have to worry about taking baths as often as I do." I complain, scrubbing the dirt from my chest and neck.
 
 
I turn my attention to my sides taking care to wash the scales that run up my waist. They are the only redeeming factor to my human half, they sparkle like gems when the sun hits them just right. At least I don't have to worry about dry skin there or abrasions, like I get elsewhere.
Moving further down my body, I begin washing my tail, the scales dulled by the dirt covering them. I adore this part of me, the deep red on the sides and the blue diamond pattern with red inlays on top, each scrub revealing the beauty beneath. I run my hands along my body feeling the soft yet strong texture of the scales under my fingers. I love this part of myself and I treasure it most.
 
 
 
While washing myself, I begin cleaning my garment wondering what else to do. "hmm I guess I could go and see what the locals are doing today, maybe visit Fanara and people-watch. Just gotta be careful not to be seen, don't want another incident like what happened on the ship ride over here. That was stressful."
 
 
 hour's pass the sun high when I finally get out of the water. Deciding to start small I head toward the road north of the river to see if anyone's using it as it's a major trade route between Fanara and Witherford someone's bound to be using it.
 
 
 It's not far from here, just a short slither away. After a while of traveling I pause, something seems off. The area is way too quiet. I turn my gaze to the trees, normally there are birds singing, instead, I only hear crows cawing in the distance.There is a light haze as well. Minutes pass before I decide to move on.
 
 
Approaching the road, the smell of smoke hangs in the air. Curious, I quicken my pace, while trying to stay concealed in the bushes and undergrowth of the forest. Just ahead I see a carriage that appears to be overturned. Smoke rising from it. Moving closer, I see several bodies lying on the ground, five all together. I notice one lying against the carriage, with the crest of Fanara on their armor..
 I move from the bushes out onto the road, to see if anyone is alive.The ground is covered in blood , the cold dead eyes of the men wide open, The carriage is empty and spattered with blood."What the hell happened here?"I whispered.
 
 
 Suddenly out of the corner of my eye I see movement to my left. Turning to look I see a man on horseback staring at me, eyes wide with his hands clenched tightly on the reigns. On his chest, the crest of Fanara, like the others. Frozen in place I just stare back at him, eyes darting to his small bow and dagger, heart pounding, scared out of my mind, "shit I was so distracted looking at all this mess I didn't even hear him approach, why did I think coming out on the road was a good idea? I should have stayed in the bushes, me being here, with all this, looks bad. Really bad."
 
 
The silence is maddening, both of us just staring at each other, then he finally speaks, "what the hell did you do!?"his voice cracking.
"I didn't do anything, I just happened upon this mess, it was like this when I got here." I reply
" Bull shit! I don't believe you! What the hell are you anyway, some kind of monster, lurking about attacking people in the woods?" He says drawing his bow.
"I already told you I didn't do this!, and I'm no monster, just calm down and let's just talk this out, no need for this to get violent!"
 I begin to advance towards him slightly. "This is bad, if he decides to run and tell everyone back at the castle what he thinks I did, I'm in huge trouble! I can't let him leave alive."
 
 
Caught between a rock and a hard place my options are limited, "he is too far away for me to rush him, not to mention the fact he's on horseback.This is going to be difficult, I've got to get closer to him to have any chance of grabbing him."
 
 
I continue making small movements in his general direction to try and close the distance. "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill you where you stand!" I stop momentarily noticing he has an arrow ready to fire.
"Darn I'm not close enough yet, just ten yards away even if I charged him from this distance he'd still get the shot off, maybe I can use that to my advantage." I continue advancing towards him. "Hey now there is no need to be hasty, I just want to talk that's all."
 "We can talk just fine from where you are, don't think I won't shoot you if you don't stop."He replies
 
 
 Feeling like this is the only chance I have, I charge him trying to close the distance, startling him as he fires his arrow like I thought he would. Reacting as quickly as I can, I slide to a stop and wrap myself with my tail shielding my torso from his attack. His arrow strikes my scales, deflecting off of them harmlessly, catching him further off guard. I lunge out from my defensive stance,
"Oh shit!" he screams, starting to turn his horse to run.
Covering the last few feet just as he is starting to get going,I launch myself at him, but his horse is fast. I reach out trying to grab him before he gets away. The only thing I manage to grab is his quiver on his back, but he is one step ahead of me. Before I know it the strap snaps away from him leaving me falling to the ground arms swinging as I go.
 
 
I crash onto earth, knocking the wind out of me groaning, writhing on the ground, and nothing to show for it but a quiver of arrows, "dammit I almost had him, the fucker must have cut it off when i grabbed it. Things just got way worse. I've got to get out of here fast, before he gets back to town and reports what he thinks happened. might as well grab anything worth having before I make myself scarce., It can't hurt to take what's left behind, they won't need it anymore, the gold and silver will come in handy. I wonder what's in the carriage? I never got a chance to get a good look at it."
 
 
After gathering anything of value from the area, I turn my attention back to the carriage. Peering inside the walls and seats are lined in plush red silk, the windows look to be plated in gold as well. "huh this is a really swanky carriage. I wonder who it belonged to?" Continuing my search of the interior something glittering catches my eye . " what's this under here?” “oh it's a tiara, a very pretty one at that. Picking it up it's triangular in shape,crusted in rubies and sapphires. a depiction of a dragon showering a knight in flames at its center. I wonder what this is doing in he...re. '' Looking around the carriage frantically I see a marking on the interior wall next to the door. "oh fuck!, This is a royal carriage! No wonder they sent someone looking for it. Now everyone will think I attacked the king's family, oh fuck fuck fuck I think im going to be sick! This is absolutely horrible! Oh lord, why did it have to be a royal carriage? They will hunt me down, and there's no way I can talk my way out of this ahhhhhhh!!"
 
 
After a few minutes of absolute panic, I begin to regain my composure. "Ok, let's think about this logically, I don't see anyone that looks to be a royal, just guards, so the person they were escorting might be hiding nearby. I should look around for clues to where they went. I just hope they're alive or I'm so screwed!"
 
 
Leaving the carriage, I begin looking for tracks around the site in the mud, each passing minute critical to finding them. I contemplate just giving up and taking my chances running, and hoping it just blows over when I see three sets of footprints leading away from the carriage. One set is smaller than the other two and by its gate and how the mud is deformed would suggest the smaller of the tracks were running to the south, followed by the other two at a slower pace."Hmm someone left here in a hurry, and was followed, hopefully it's whoever was in the carriage, I better hurry.”
 
 
With a trail to follow, I rush off in the direction that they lead. Not long after, I noticed a scrap of light blue material snagged on a thorny bush. Upon closer inspection it looks to be made partly of cotton and silk "yea they definitely went this way gotta hurry I just hope I find them, whoever they are.” A few minutes pass, as I lose the other two sets of tracks on the trail, only the smaller set remains though it looks like they might have slowed down a little from how they're gate has changed, not long after, I see a white jeweled slipper stuck in the mud, its owner must have abandoned it in their hurry to escape. Picking it up I notice that it's slightly warm, meaning that they were here not long ago. "They gotta be close. They are female based on the evidence. Better hurry up and find her before whoever is following her does."
 
 
I continue following the trail. About five minutes later I see in the distance what looks to be a young woman in a blue sundress with red hair running between the trees,
A few seconds later, I see two more people dressed in black and brown with hoods covering their heads. giving chase towards her, each of them look to be armed. Taking off, I follow them deeper into the forest. As far as I can tell the people chasing her are either bandits or slavers.
 
 
Continuing my pursuit, I watch as the girl suddenly trips on some tree roots and falls to the ground. She tries to get up and continue running but is grabbed by one of her pursuers, she begins to thrash around screaming, "Let me go don't touch me let me go you piece of shit someone help!"
 
Approaching the area I stay close to the bushes watching the scene unfold. The one holding her is a tall man with an average build,the other close behind, is shorter,and female judging by her ample feminine features; a strand of her long brown hair hangs in front of half her face.
The male holding the girl speaks up, "oh stop fighting you’re not going anywhere." The girl continues to thrash, knocking his hood off his head, revealing his face. He has short black hair, brown eyes with a large scar across his right cheek, his colleague remains silent, slowly looking over the girl trapped in his arms.
 
 
 I sit there contemplating on how to proceed, the girl being held continues her efforts to free herself from his grasp, kicking and flailing as hard as she can. "You have no idea who you are messing with! I'm princess Satera, daughter of the King of Fanara! Both of you will be hanged for what you have done!" She yells.
 
 
 "Ohh we know who you are sweetheart, though it's not smart to go around advertising that. Nevertheless we have plans for ya so behave and you won't be harmed." the female bandit says. looking at her with an evil grin.
"Yea so many plans." The male bandit says groping her breasts through her dress.
"Don't touch me you fucking pig" Satera says. nailing the male bandit square in the nose.
 
 
A loud crack can be heard as the shorter bandit slaps her across the face saying "you're in no position to be telling us what to do sweetheart, so just shut up. There is no one here to save ya, or hear you scream; and scream you will before we are done. Tie her up Bog, we wouldn't want her to run off now would we. She has already caused us enough trouble for today".
"Right away mam." he replies, blood still pouring from his nose as he squeezes the princesses breast, eliciting a sharp pained squeal from the princess, then pulling a length of rope from his satchel, he starts binding her hands and feet.
 
 
Still out of sight in the bushes, I think about how to proceed. There isn't much I can do while both of them are present. I decide it's best that I just stay concealed and wait for an opportunity. To try and rescue the princess at a later time when I have the advantage. "It's too risky to attack them head on, it might be better to wait until nightfall when they are not as alert, and I have the element of surprise on my side."
 
By this time, Bog has finished tying up the princess, hefting her over his shoulder, "ok Ren she's secure!" he says waiting on the other bandit to give an order. "So what's the plan now? Damn I think she broke my nose." Bog says, twisting his nose, setting it back into place with a loud crunch.
 "Oh quit your bellyaching Bog,” Ren answers, “you should have held her better if you were gonna play with her, and I already told you, we are taking her back to camp, then bringing her to the boss, so they can send the king a ransom letter for her return."
 
 
"Oh yea I forgot about that, I was hoping to have some fun with her beforehand you know." Bog replies.
 
 
"Yes I know, the only head that works is the one between your legs. Sometimes I wonder how you survive. All you do is think of screwing and when you get to fuck next, it's pathetic how simple minded you are. One day that dick of yours is going to get you killed." Ren says, rubbing the bridge of her nose with a very annoyed look on her face.
 
 
"Well no need to be rude I just like fucking is all, and I'm not simple minded I just know what I like, and that's sex.” he replies.
 
 
"Yea yea enough about that. Let's get back to camp, and you can have your fun. Just don't come crying to me if she breaks something else haha." Ren says
 
 
"Take the bonds off and I'll break more than your nose! satera yells."
 
 
"Har har har very funny, though I'll be the one breaking something tonight."Bog replies
 
 
With that Ren starts walking away with Bog not far behind carrying the princess, a look of indignation on her face as well as fear of what's to come.
 
 
 Sticking to the shadows, I begin trailing them staying out of sight in the brush while close enough for them to be in eye-shot.
 
 
Two hours of traveling later, I see in the distance a tent next to a cave. Having never been to this side of the forest, I notice the trees here look sick, some are even dead, and the air smells like rotten eggs that were left out in the sun for a week. Looking eastward I can see some thorny bushes next to the camp and a small blackened area in the center for their campfires. Above it, a pot hangs from a metal rig.
 
 
Arriving, Bog drops the princess onto the ground hard with a thud, a look of pain plastered on her face as she writhes on the ground, "why are you doing this? " she asks with tears in her eyes.
 
 
" You broke my nose, so you get treated like a bag of dirt, should have played nice." Bog replies
 
 
"That's enough Bog! We don't need her injured, just get over it. You will get to take your frustration out on her in a more fun way later, so knock it off."
"Yes mam,"Bog replies.
 
 
 
 
 Patiently I wait as several hours pass, and darkness rolls in. Ren and Bog sit next to the fire, scanning the area, when Ren stands," Ok Bog I'm turning in for the night just don't be too loud, because if I have to come out here I'm kicking your ass you got that?"
"Yes I understand, you always take the fun out of it all. one day you'll let me in your tent and I'll show you a great time just like the princess is about to get." Bog says with a wink toward Ren.
"Haaa yea no that will never happen. I don't want to be split in half. I've heard how you treat people with that thing, so keep dreaming bud." Ren says, waving off Bogs remarks.
 
 
With that Ren goes into the cave leaving Bog and the princess alone outside. Seeing my opportunity, I move to the bushes on the east side of the camp, away from the cave and next to the tent, not too far from the princess.
"Well I guess it's just you and me princess. time to make you a woman. I've never gotten to fuck a princess before. This should be fun." He says advancing towards her.
"Stay back, don't come near me!" she says, trying to scoot away from him.
 
 
Losing his shirt, Bog bears down on Satera, lust in his eyes. Princess Satera struggles to get away, but is stopped by her bonds as Bog grabs her by her legs pulling her towards him then starts to tear her clothes off,as she screams for him to stop .He rips the front of her dress open and her modest breasts pop out, Bog immediately starts roughly groping her breasts causing princess sateria to cry out in pain, sobbing while the assault continues.
It's hard to watch the princess in such a state being manhandled, the anguish and humiliation she is enduring,not to mention the mental trauma, just watching this makes my blood boil. Deciding I've let this travesty go on for far too long I start moving around behind them to put an end to this, and I know just how to do it.
 Bog continues his abuse of the princess. Leaving the top half of her gown in shreds, and her breasts bruised from the rough treatment. Bog starts ripping the lower half of her dress to get to his real prize, her maidenhood, and just when he reveals her most private place, he is met by the bane of his existence. A chastity belt there to thwart the efforts of his conquest.
 
 
Princess Satera smirks for the first time," hah i cant believe you thought you where actually going to get to fuck me. Pathetic, you are just as dumb as you look. hahaha!"
 
 
Her laughter is cut short when Bog grabs her by the throat, squeezing it hard causing the princess to frantically struggle, panic in her eyes as her airway is cut off.
 
 
"So you think this is funny? Well let's see how funny it is when I'm through with you, there are other ways to get that belt off you see. Very painful ways." Bog continues his face twisting to a manic expression as he chokes Princess Satera. Satera starts to lose consciousness as the bandit’s grip tightens. "I’ll teach you to mock me you bit-"
 
 
 Before Bog can finish his sentence he feels something wrap around his chest and arms snapping tight before he can react, pulling his hands away from the princess and pinning them to his sides.
"What the fuck?" Bog says confused about what's happening.
 "So you like to abuse young women, do you? Well I for one love putting dirtbags like you in your place." I say my mouth right next to bogs ear.
Who the hell are you? What is this? Let me go dammit!"
“Oh don't you worry about who I am,me and you are about to get very well acquainted in just a moment, but answer me just one question. Why did you kidnap the Princess of Fanara?" I slowly turn Bog around, still wrapped up in my tail awaiting his response.
 
 
 "Ha, you really think I’ll tell you anything? You don't scare me- What the hell?" Bog's eyes go wide, finally seeing what has him trapped so tightly. Beads of sweat appear on his face.
 Lifting Bog slightly off the ground with the lower part of my tail, I hold him in the air just a couple feet away from me staring at him. Turning my attention to the princess, she is still lying on the ground behind Bog unconscious from her ordeal. Unaware of my presence at the moment.
Returning my attention back to Bog he is trembling his mouth slightly ajar. “I thought you weren't afraid of me, tough guy then why are you shaking so hmmm? Surely I as a woman don't frighten you". I pull him closer now just inches from his face, “now won't you answer my question, or do I need to squeeze harder?“
Bog visibly panicking stammers " I..I can't say! D..do y..your worst there are w... worse t.. things that will h.. happen to me if I t..tell you anything.”
"Worse things ehh well then if you won't tell then I have no use for you then" I say, squeezing him tighter, his face turning shades of red and blue from the pressure, unable to breathe. After squeezing him for a while I loosen my grip allowing him to breath his face returning to normal gasping for breath. "Doesn't feel good does it? Not being able to breathe? Now you know how she felt while you were beating her up and choking her."
Bog just looks around seemingly regaining his composure then yelling "Ren hel-!"
I cut him off by shoving the end of my tail into his mouth just as he screams for his companion. Looking around I don't hear or see evidence that he got her attention at least for now. "Ohhhh dumb move Bog. It seems you're a bigger liability than I thought. Remember when you said there were worse things than what I could do to you? Well you're about to find out just how bad it gets. Hope you're ready.”
 
 
I start shifting my tail lower away from his shoulders, all the while keeping my tail firmly lodged in his mouth to prevent him yelling for help again, Bog then hears some popping sounds then realizes where they are coming from. A look of horror on his face as my jaw dislocates and my mouth opens abnormally wide, and keeps getting wider and wider, at this point Bog is struggling and wiggling as hard as he can to escape but to no avail, the last thing he sees is my mouth enveloping him, plunging him into darkness. I continue pushing him into my mouth until he reaches the back of my throat. I remove my tail from his mouth and begin swallowing him using the rest of my tail to keep him restrained, slowly feeding him into me.
 
 
As I'm dealing with Bog, I see Princess Satera begin to stir having recovered from her abuse. I hurry to finish with Bog before she notices and causes a scene,swallowing much faster trying to get him packed away, but his struggles hamper my progress. Only up to his shoulders, I decide that I need to hurry this along even faster. I start shoving him down my throat, the large bulge descending much faster.
Now past his stomach only his hips and legs remain his form starting to make my stomach expand as he is pushed in further. Another few large swallows and just his feet remain the muffled cries of Bog barely audible through my stomach. Now with Bog as just a writhing mass of bumps rolling around one last swallow sends his feet down to join him I trace the bulge as it travels down my chest reveling in the sensation. It's been a while since I've had the pleasure of eating someone.
 
Still lost in predatory bliss I've missed for so long, my euphoria is cut short upon hearing a piercing shriek of Princess Satera screaming as she stares at me in horror. Moving quickly, I rush over and slam my hand over her mouth to silence her incessant shriek.
"Shut Up I'm not here to hurt you but that all could change if you don't calm down, if I wanted to hurt you then you would be where this guy is, so are you going to behave?, or do I have to eat you too? Your choice” I gesture to the writhing mass of Bog's useless struggles.
The princess just nods her head tears streaming from her eyes
 
"Good now I'm going to let go of your mouth so no screaming. got it?”
Another series of rapid nods ensues
"Ok then," I say, releasing her mouth. I look around making sure we are still alone. "Ok let's get these bindings off you. We gotta get you out of here before the other one shows up." I say working to free her hands and feet.
"Why are you doing this? What are you doing here?" Satera asks, a perplexed look on her face.
 
 
"It's a long story, but we got to go, no time to explain." I replied, still removing her binds. Once her hand and feet are free I rise and reach to help the princess up. "Ok now let's get going… hey are you okay?" I say looking down at her but get no response, then I realize she is just staring at the large mass that is Bog, still slightly thrashing about. "Oh sorry I was in such a hurry I forgot he was still there, let me move him elsewhere."
 
 
"Huh what do you mean" Satera replies, visibly confused by what she just heard.
Waving off her comment I focus on flexing my muscles as the bulge in my stomach slowly starts moving down to the area where my tail starts, I flex harder finding it difficult to get Bog to go down. He is fighting against my stomach, and has wedged himself in there.
 
 
Finding myself at a stalemate I use my hands and start pushing down while Flexing as hard as I can after a few seconds of shoving, his lower half pops into my tail the area where my hips would be bulges out with his partial transition,"arghhh,just go down you stubborn little shit there's no use resisting might as well go down with some dignity I'm going to get you in there one way or another." But Bog continues fighting, starting to try and climb back out of my tail.
 This shoving match continues for a couple more minutes when I realize why I'm having such a hard time. I lift myself higher off the ground, moving Bog to a more vertical position. I start pushing Bog down again; with the new orientation he slides down into my tail much easier, the bulge passes my hip area much faster than before and with very little resistance from Bog even though he is still fighting to escape, having no leverage now he slips further and further down my tail behind me.
 
 
"Whew, that took way longer than it should have, sorry that you had to watch that now let's go."
 
 
"Ok,but I never got your name,"satera responds reluctantly, shakily trying to get to her feet.
"Oh it's Dalina, now be quiet."
 
 
We begin to make our way out of the camp when I notice the princess is having a hard time walking." Hey, are you okay?”
"No, I don't think I can walk very well. That bastard must have hurt me worse than I thought." she says punching the bulge that Bog is making.
 
 
" You do realize you're not just punching him right." I say lifting her off the ground.
"Oh sorry, I forgot he was inside you. I've never seen anyone like you, where are you from? "
“I'll tell you later for now we got to get as far away as we can before she wakes up." I carry the princess out of the camp heading back to the north toward her carriage, Ren unaware of what transpired, at least until she wakes up. What a shock that will be.
