Chapter 0 - Company

Fay Hearth wiped down the last table in the Bear and Bison Inn with a sigh. You got stale days when running an inn-especially an inn between two major settlements-but she hadn't had one customer today. She couldn't think why; the trade routes weren't closed, the weather had been fine and she hadn't heard of any bandit camps recently. She supposed it was just lack of luck. Maybe nobody who passed had needed a drink.

She decided against closing the inn just yet though. However she headed into her room behind the bar to change into her nightclothes. As she looked into the mirror a 39-year old woman with bright orange hair looked back at her. She took a second to appreciate her generously sized breasts and generally voluptuous curvature, although handling the barrels in the cellar over the years had given her a few arm muscles. She untied her hair, letting it fall to her shoulders and pulled a thinly veiled dress over her torso; it fell to her knees.

There was a familiar creak as the inn door opened and a slightly muffled voice asked "Hello? Is the inn still open?"

Fay answered back "Yes. Just give me a second and I'll be with you." She hadn't expected someone this late. Still, a customer was a customer. 

She pushed her feet into woolen slippers and stepped out of her room. Behind the bar stood a female hybrid-a mix of animal and human. There was something strangely familiar about her. Fay put it down to the hybrid looking like her-orange hair, green eyes, and a pretty large rump. She was wearing a simple dress that Fay knew wasn't Asmana-made. This dress coupled with her fish-out-of-water look caused Fay to guess she wasn't a native to Asmana. She wasn't surprised-outsiders often came to her inn on the way to Agliophilia or Bluegrass.

"Sorry for the wait. What can I get you, friend?" Fay asked her, smiling.

"Well...my name is Bela and I was hoping to get a place to stay the night." Bela answered. Her voice was quite soft-almost silky. She looked quite nervous, as if worried she was trespassing.


Fay smiled and replied "Not a problem. Just 10 gold coins for the ni...actually screw it. 5 gold coins. But that's my limit."

Bela looked surprised. "Thank you. I was worried I'd have to sleep in the open."

"Hey, us girls have to look out for each other." Fay answered, giving a wink.

Bela blushed slightly and gulped. "Umm...I'm not..." there was an awkward pause. Bela spoke so quietly Fay had to concentrate on what was said "I'm not a girl..."

Fay gasped, horrified at his words. "Oh Gods! I'm so, so sorry." Her mind was racing, cursing herself.

"It's okay. It happens all the time." Bela told her. "At least you apologized." He smiled reassuringly.

Fay was relived but still felt awkward. 15 years of bartending and this had never happened before. Looking to skim over the moment she asked him "Well, where do you come from? I've never seen a hybrid like you before."

He smiled again. "I'm not a hybrid-I'm a Ferua. A special kind of Ferua-only a fifth of my race are like me-looking like a girl. I've come a long way here and could really use some rest." 

Fay had never heard of Feruas before. That was very telling on it's own-she'd met hundreds of creatures and species in her 15 years of running the inn. Wherever Bela came from it was clearly a long way away from Asmana. She knew how far the lands could stretch, and knew someone who had gone that distance would have a lot of reason to. "Well, if you want, you can get some extra company to help you rest." Fay told him.

Bela looked a little confused. "Who would be keeping me com...oh." He blushed again. It made him look even cuter than normal. "Do...you go through this with every adventurer who comes through your inn?"

Fay smiled. "Only the ones who've earned it. Most adventurers retreat to a room with their own companion anyway; keep half of Asmana awake all night." she chuckled at the joke.
"And you think I've earned it?" Bela asked, sounding skeptical.

Fay answered sympathetically "Wherever you've come from is a long way away from here. However many inns you've gone to, however much rest you've had, you must still be in need of company. I know that feeling very well."

Bela looked excited at this. His eyes glanced down at her breasts, which weren't very well hidden by the thin nightdress. He gulped, but looked Fay in the eyes and nodded with a smile. Fay took him by the hand and led him around the bar, into her room. As soon as she closed the door, Fay lifted her nightdress over the top of her head and tossed it aside. Bela looked surprised at her breast size, and she pulled him close, squeezing his head in-between them. He gave a soft moan in answer, but pulled back and stripped off his own dress and clothes.
He was pear shaped, with an ample waist, taut buttocks and thick thighs, but otherwise he was quite slimly built. His cock had not yet hardened-it was inside Bela's fur like a foreskin. However, Fay knew how to coax it out. She gently pushed him onto the side of the bed and got onto her knees.

Starting slowly, Fay gripped the base of his cock with her thumb and index finger, squeezing his ballsack gently with her other hand. After half a minute or so, Bela's cock slowly came out of it's home and displayed itself to her. It wasn't big compared to others she'd seen, but it was covered in small nibs and was a nice shade of pink. She gripped the base a little harder and allowed her tongue to touch the head. It tasted stronger than she thought, but she preferred it that way.

Fay allowed her lips to rest around his cockhead, moving down it a little. Bela gave a soft sigh in answer and Fay moved down a little bit more, still gripping the base and squeezing his ballsack. His cock was now completely hard, but Fay loved how it tasted. She took his entire cock in her mouth, her tongue circling the head slowly and her hand now pinching her right nipple.

She pulled backwards and shuffled forwards on her knees. Before Bela could ask what she was doing, she had placed her udders on either side of his cock and was squeezing them together. His lustful sigh told her everything she needed to know. She began to push her boobs into each other in turns, massaging his cock with them. Bela moaned with pleasure, but after a few seconds Fay stopped the titjob.

"My turn to receive, I think." She told him, smiling and standing up. "No need for oral-I'm already dripping and eager for your cock." She lay on her back and he got on top of her, between her legs he placed his cock at her pussy entrance. He prodded once, but she squirmed with need and asked him "Please, don't tease me." He placed a hand either side of her waist; Fay reached around and groped his ample ass in response.

At her touch, Bela sank into her folds. The nibs along his cock brushed against her pussy lips with each inch-it felt divine. She instinctively wrapped her legs around his ample waist as he pushed himself completely into her. "Gods..." she breathed. Bela pulled back but pushed into her again almost instantly, slowly building a rhythm. She noticed he was being gentle, and rested her arm around his neck. She pushed his head close to one of her breasts, and he took it into his mouth, sucking on her nipple as he began to speed up his rhythm.

Bela started to push into her pussy faster and with more force. He became more aggressive with each thrust of his waist, and Fay could only gasp and moan her thoughts and feelings. Within a minute, Bela was thrusting hard and fast into Fay's tight cunny, and although she had taken larger men, none had had the shape of Bela's cock. The feeling of the nibs on his cock with every push was driving her wild with pleasure, and the speed at which he fucked her was almost unparalleled. 

Bela was beginning to moan and gasp with every thrust, and Fay knew what that meant. She pulled him close and whispered with what little breath she had left "Please...inside me...". With a slight moan, Bela unleashed himself within her pussy. She counted five spurts of his cock throbbing as it shot it's load. His hot sticky cum felt amazing inside Fay's depths, and she could only whisper "Thank you." as he finished cumming inside. 

With a small grunt he pulled out of her and fell onto her body. His head rested on her breasts, which she knew felt better than any pillow gold could buy. He let out a soft sigh and murmured "That...was amazing..." before exhaling and falling asleep. Fay let her head fall onto the bed and closed her eyes, content with the night's events.

Fay woke up to the familiar sight of sunshine through the right side window. Bela was still laying on top of her, his head resting against her breasts. She smiled slightly and stroked his head with her index and middle fingers. His eyelids fluttered and opened slowly. She greeted him with a soft "Good morning." After a second or two he smiled back at her and lifted himself off of her torso, sitting on the bedside and stretching his arms. Fay got up and opened her drawers. There was a silence as the two got dressed.

"So, why is it you came to Asmana? I doubt its the fighting arena." Fay asked, as she pulled on her shoes.

Bela hesitated for a second, but answered. "I'm...looking for my father. Keyon Imari. King of the Cibum. I was following his trail and it led me here."

"Keyon Imari?" Fay recalled the name, and suddenly realized why Bela had looked familiar. "Yeah, he came here. I remember serving him in fact."

"When?" Bela asked "Do you know where he went?"

Fay wished she could have answered differently. "I think it was 5 or so years ago. He said he was looking for the Hominum Staff. It's the personal weapon of Hominum-the Deity of Mankind. It can change into any weapon you want. But there's only one way to get it-find Hominum and defeat him in fair combat. A fool's errand if you ask me. No offense."
"So you don't know where he went?" Bela asked, sounding a little choked.

"The best place I can give you is Agliophilia to the west." Fay told him, pointing in the direction. "I hope you find him."

"I fully intend to." Bela answered, heading for the door. "Thanks for everything."

Fay called as he reached the door. "Hey, Bela. If you need any more company, you come right back and I'll take care of you. No charge."

Bela just smiled and blushed cutely as he opened the door and stepped out.
