Chapter 1 - Merlus & The Sphinx

Using his spear as a walking stick, Merlus made his way along the sandstone road towards the city of Lyona. There was not much of anything to see, except swaths of dry grass and sandstone boulders that flanked the road while grasshoppers chirped in their insectile voices.

Sweat glistened on his brow. Merlus was not exactly the young strapping man he used to be and had to features to back it up. Grey hairs sprinkled throughout his full beard and curly hair. Taut yet worn-down muscles hung to his long, wiry frame, and under his robes, his skin held a rich, bronze tan of loosening skin. Dust and dirt from hours of endless travel crept into the crevasses of both skin and fine white robes, turning it a weak beige. 

His wineskin was as dry as the road before him, and Merlus imagined thirst killing him until he ventured by a ruined sandstone column parallel to the road and looked up, terror filling his eyes.

On a sideways stone column by the road, a sphinx covered in short, golden fur, looked down at Merlus, the curious eyes had black pupils that swam in red sclera the color of fine wine. Even sitting down, she towered over Merlus at eight feet with wings more fitting on an exotic bird spouting from her shoulders. They furled and unfurled easily.

Swinging full breasts, freckled by the sun, hung ponderous and heavy on her chest; their hard nipples pointed at the floor while Merlus stared at them, and then quickly remembered who their monstrous owner was.

She tilted her head at Merlus, a glimmer of curiosity in her dark eyes. Silky, black hair framed her tanned face of sharp features. She opened a pair of lips juicier than a fresh pomegranate, displaying viciously sharp teeth. “I see a well-traveled and well-aged man before me,” she said in a deep voice that seemed bored. “What might your name be, sir?”

Merlus gripped his spear tighter, uttering, “My name is Merlus, son of Merlon. May I ask of your name, creature?”

“My name is Kiva, guardian of the road to Lyona,” she answered. “Are you lost, Merlus? You seem unequipped to enter Lyona.”

“I am never lost,” Merlus boasted, regaining some of his lost composure. “Today, I seek entrance into Lyona. Excuse me, but I have to go-”

“Not quite so fast,” Kiva interrupted in a sultry, teasing voice. “You must answer my riddle to gain entrance to the city of Lyona.”

Merlus chuckled. “And what if I do not play your silly games, woman-thing Kiva?”

Kiva chuckled in return and narrowed her eyes at Merlus. “Do you not see my teeth? Do you not see my claws? Do you not see the dusty bones I’ve created at your feet, Merlus?” she asked, smiling with teeth like ivory daggers. “Were it not for my fair game, I would’ve devoured your entrails where you stand and smashed your bones on my teeth.”

Merlus looked before his feet, eyes widening at the ignored dead. Piles of sun-bleached bone, both man and animal, laid at the column’s side, riddled with deep teeth marks. Merlus gulped and said, “Fine, I will play your game. What is the riddle, Kiva?”

“I knew you were one of the more reasonable men,” she said. "What is the creature that walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three in the evening? You only have once chance to answer correctly."

Merlus immediately drew up blanks, his mind a tangle of infinite responses where only one answer was possible. No such creature existed like that, he thought. Some walked on two legs like humans. Some walked on four legs like Kiva – That’s it! He dared, feeling foolishly cocky, and said, “Is it you, Kiva?

Kiva stretched her back forward, displaying her well-endowed chest towards Merlus, golden fur shining around them. “Sadly, that is incorrect,” said Kiva before soaring towards her newest quarry, baring several claws black and sharp as obsidian.

Merlus reacted by holding his spear lengthwise, catching all of Kiva’s claws as a sound like clashing swords emitted from the collusion. Kiva and Merlus both jumped back, blood thumping through their bodies.

“Why fight it?” she teased. “You lost. I win – now let me eat.”

“Like I would go down without a fight, you monster!”

They lunged towards each other again, but Merlus slipped on a shattered rib, sending him back-first on dry grass and pebbles. Kiva was on Merlus in seconds, the only thing between him and Kiva’s jugular puncturing teeth was his trusty spear. Kiva pressed down the lengthwise spear with her crushing forepaws.

“Come on,” she breathed into his face. “I don’t like playing with my food, sweetheart”

“Then eat this, you bitch-” and Merlus headbutted Kiva in the mouth, giving all parties involved a nasty shock.

She stumbled away, stunned and in blinding pain. Merlus shook his pain away faster and without hesitation, unfastened his robe’s rope and rushed Kiva. Merlus secured her hands with panicked precision and kicked her on her side.

Kiva struggled before she noticed Merlus’ spear pointing at her throat. She also noticed an erection peeking through his opened robes and shuddered with fear. “Is that what I think it is-”

“Silence, beast!” he roared, veins bulging in his throat. “Give me one reason not to slay you by the side of this road.”

Kiva rolled onto her back, opening her legs. “I will do anything you ask of me” she begged. “Take me as you wish, just don’t end my life.”

Merlus’s head and genitals thundered with lustful blood. She was right. He looked between her legs and saw slickness matting the fur together. The vagina looked human enough, but there was no way for Merlus to know unless he entered it himself, and the thought seemed more desirable with each passing second “Is this a foul trap?” he asked, trying to ignore his lascivious thinking.

“No! I am never foul,” shouted Kiva. “Inside and out, I keep myself very clean and it is all for you.”

She was right with that, too. As Merlus tied up Kiva, he noticed that she had a clean scent about her – no sign of disease or filth. 

The more his mind struggled to decide a course of action, the more his erection grew harder and impatient. Merlus lost control of himself and immediately disrobed, seeking out Kiva’s chest. She yelped in sweet pain as he took a nipple between his teeth, biting and sucking the malleable flesh with abandon. Merlus stroked himself harder. The other hand grabbed the breast he wasn’t covering with bite marks. The sweat on her yielding body had a sweet tang to it, like citrus.

“Please,” she said, panting. “If you must, take me not like a savage.”

Kiva closed her eyes as Merlus worked on her body. Not only the sensation but his eagerness aroused her. She had a thing for hard workers – they tasted the best, yet Kiva never imagined one tasting her back.

Merlus drew back from Kiva, panting. The place between Kiva’s tits felt like a paradise he never wanted to leave. On his knees, Merlus leaned over and slid one finger into her slickness and instantly saw her paws ball in response. The inside felt strange, hard yet yielding at the same time, so Merlus slipped another curious finger in and watched as Kiva’s back arched. A sly smile bloomed on Merlus’ face. Cautiously, Merlus tasted Kiva’s fluids. They had the same tang as her sweat but stronger.

Merlus crawled behind Kiva’s snatch and aligned his penis against its pink slit, the length throbbing. He grabbed his cock, wetting the head with Kiva’s juice. Merlus wanted to tease just a few more drops out before the rough penetration. She deserves punishment, but doesn’t deserve to be torn apart, thought Merlus.

Kiva looked at him with barely concealed hints of desire and fear. “Well?” she whined.

Merlus held onto Kiva’s long, lioness leg up in the air and pierced her. Kiva uttered a long moan, head tossed back in pleasure. Merlus shuddered at how impossibly good she felt inside. It was as if a million tongues were hidden inside Kiva, designed to lick and lap at every possible nerve end on Merlus’ cock. If he truly wanted, Merlus could lay on his knees as the alien vagina milked him of cum. Luckily for both of them, Merlus wasn’t the passive type, and kept on thrusting his hips forward.

Despite the pain the rocky ground gave Merlus’ knees, he persisted. This sphinx was solely his to enjoy. He would be damned if a few sharp rocks prevented him from enjoying Kiva’s once-in-a-lifetime pussy. Merlus wiped sweat off his forehead, only for more to replace it in an instant.

Kiva’s breasts bounced up and down from Merlus’ hammering thrusts. He wished his arms were long enough to reach out and squeeze them red. Another scream of her painful pleasure would drive him over the edge. Kiva breathlessly panted, her mind a daze of sensations.

Merlus sped up as he felt an orgasm strangle his balls. It was months since he emptied his sack, and they seemed to slosh, heavy and full, as he humped away. Merlus wondered if Kiva had ever taken a cock like his. Possibly. Her vagina was obviously designed for maximum pleasure and friction.

Kiva gripped Merlus’ leg with her tail as she experienced a full body orgasm, trembling and howling. The spasms in her vagina caused Merlus to come soon after, his thick ropes of semen whipped against her walls and into her womb. The “tongues” in Kiva moved the semen deeper, ensuring she would be knocked up for certain.

Merlus stood up on wobbly legs, watching Kiva’s chest rise and fall in rapid motions. She was exhausted and well fucked. Merlus knew she was now harmless, almost unconscious. He untied her forepaws.

With the rope now in Merlus’ possession, he secured his robe. He found his spear later and continued towards Lyona, wondering what Kiva’s kin would look like all the way there.

After dragging a dead deer into her cave, Kiva feasted well, glutting herself on fresh meat for the many squirming kin within her heavy womb. The last few months had treated her well, the glow of health all around her, especially the stomach of impressive, still growing size. Kiva’s already full breasts wept tears of milk, ready to feed when the time was right. 

The children often subjected her to strong kicks now, suggesting they had the strength of their father. Merlus or not, Kiva’s brood would be resilient in the face of all.
