The room was dark, lit by a strange fire in the center of the room. The fire glowed a magical blue, which left the rest of the chamber in darkness. A single figure was the only occupant, the long heavy robes glow softly in the light.

"Isl'kit nahlo," the mage intoned in sequence, the blue fire slowly growing and turning red.

The man in the robe completed his spell with a flick of a hand he thrust a powder at the fire. The flames exploded through more colors and extinguished from pot it burned in.

Wisps of red fire floated above the fire pot. Slowly they formed into a slightly reptilian head. The eyes and teeth glow brighter then the outline of the head.

"Why have you summoned me, mage?" The head speaks with a crackling voice.

The man stands up to be eye to eye with the fire spirit that he summoned, "I summoned you to serve me, imp."

The booming laugh rocks the walls; before the fire responds, "Serve you?" The fire pauses for a moment to laugh again, "Why should I serve you?"

The mage answers back, "Because, fire fiend, I summoned you."

Another laugh answers the mage, "Fire fiend? Can't you come up with anything original?"

"It doesn't matter, I summoned you and I am your master."

The flames visibly suppress another laugh, "You're a regular comedian, mage. Summoning one of my kind does not give you power over us, no matter what your books say."

"Then why did you come?"

"Curiosity, and to stop the bloody noise of your spell. Nothing more." The eyes of flame glow brighter still, "So why should I serve you, when I can just as easily kill you and go back to my realm?"

"Power?" The mage asks.

"Power?" The fire spirit replies. "Why do you mages always offer me that? And it's always me who has to get that power for the mage, never the other way around. What makes you different?"

The man in the robes unconsciously steps back, "Well I have plan…" He starts.

"They all have plans, and more plans. Why should I help you?"

The mage took a step forward and spent a long moment explaining his position and the plan that he had.

Ionua woke the next day with a moan. Her naked legs were spread slightly apart and a tongue was lapping against her hairless labia. Instinctively her hands reach down to the head that is performing the act and her fingers meet the long blond hair and golden fur of the leopardess.

The redhead's eyes open up with surprise, when she sees the cat's head she grins and pushes her away, "What are you doing Nalua?" She asks.

The cat sits back on her heels, "The man went out looking for some food, and I was hungry." She gives the sorceress a smile, "And I like your taste."

"Malik has gone for food?" She asks the redundant question, "I didn't notice him leaving."

"That one can move quietly, almost as quietly as I can, when he wants to. I'm not surprised you didn't notice him leaving." She crawls forward a bit to lay her head on Ionua's stomach, much like a house cat looking for attention.

The naked woman instinctively starts to stroke the cat's fur and scratch a little behind the ears, "I'm a little surprised you stayed with us. I thought cat's were night creatures."

With the stroking and scratching the cat purrs, but takes a moment to answer the question, "The cat people aren't like other cats." She says as she rubs her fur clad body against the pale skin of the redhead. "When the mages and sorcerers created us, during one of your wars, they changed most of our instincts."

Ionua continues to rub her hand up and down the golden fur along Nalua's back. Her curiosity getting the better of her. "Like what?"

The leopardess continues to purr softly, her eyes closing with pleasure, "Well we don't sleep most of the time now. We sleep about the same as humans sleep. We aren't as territorial as our ancestors, so we won't fight with the humans over hunting grounds. We're not as independently inclined, and we have some instincts to follow the orders of a human. But this wasn't too well done, the instincts to do what we want is still there, strong but always warring with the others." She shivers a bit with pleasure.

Ionua gives a soft sigh, "I don't know, Nalua. Sometimes I think that using magic like that is the wrong sort of thing to do."

The cat stops purring to turn her blue eyes to the sex witch, "Why?"

"Well making the cat people and corrupting your instincts so much isn't right. Kind of like perverting nature."

The leopardess rubs her head against the woman's belly again, "You could look at it that way, but they gave us so much more." The cat soon tires of the stroking, her desire for a bit of attention fulfilled. She stands up, not concerned about her nudity, or that of the sorceress's.

Ionua sighs softly as she stands up, "I suppose you will be traveling with us?" She looks around the tent to find her cloak, or rather Malik's cloak.

Nalua turns to look at Ionua and can't help but reach out to rub her hand against the naked flesh of her buttocks, "Well if you'll have me." She smiles.

The redhead turns to gaze at the slightly taller cat, "I don't know why you want to come with us. After all you tried to rob us, then Malik hurt you in that fight, and then we made you run along the forest naked in need of a strong climax."

The cat steps forward to rub her fur covered breasts against the sorceress's. "Yes, I know." She licks her lips, "But Malik did beat me, and he's a stronger and better fighter then I think I'll ever be." She smiles a bit, "As I said we were modified to obey humans. And it was humans like Malik that we were suppose to follow."

"Why?" Ionua keeps asking.

"Because they're the commanders on the battle fields." She says, "We were created to be warriors. The leopards, lions, and tigers are the big jungle cats, the heaviest and the strongest. They wanted our extra strength and agility to give the upper hand against the enemy." She purrs softly as she keeps rubbing her fur against Ionua, "And like all cats we have a strong survival instincts, so we try to get close to the masters of battle and fight with them."

Ionua closes her eyes softly to enjoy the sensations and then steps back. The cat looks a bit disappointed as Ionua pulls on her cloak, "I remember Malik saying that you had a high sex drive too. Was that part of everything?"

The leopardess crosses her arms under her breasts pushing them up, "Well that is true, at least in the females. The mages that created the cats, had a few fetishes. And he snuck in a few. We don't know when we go into heat like normal cats do. Well real heat that is, we seem to go into heat every cycle of the moon, but we don't know which will allow us to produce offspring. And they thought it would be an easy way to control the larger males in battle. Keep the females away and hand us out as trophies for good work. And it's much nicer for the males if we're in heat when they claim us."

Ionua frowns, "That's cruel." She says, "Doing that to you. You can't fight it can you?"

The cat shrugs, "Well I suppose we can. We do it by releasing the sexual drive at other times during the month, so that when the heat is upon us we won't lose all our control."

"So you want to come with us because of your instincts to serve a good human warrior?"

The cat nods, "Well that's part of it. I also want to learn from him. He didn't have to let me live. Actually the law around here requires him to kill bandits as an example to others."

"I wonder why he didn't?" Ionua says under her breath, she starts to gather up the packs.

"I don't know." She says, "But I don't want him to regret his act of mercy. Humans don't show much mercy to my kind."

The woman sighs as she adjusts her cloak, "Humans fear what is different unfortunately."

Nalua nods her head, "Same with leopards, and every other living thing. It upsets their world." She sighs again, "Besides I don't think I can go back to my people."

"Why not?"

"I kind of left them on an argument after I past my rights of passage. I thought we could return to our hunter past and use the humans as prey." She admits.

"Do you still think that?"

The cat smiles, "A bit, but not you or Malik. Maybe others."

The sorceress shakes her head softly, "so we're going to have to keep an eye on you."

Nalua's long tongue runs along her sharp teeth and she gives another smile, "Oh I think so. After all getting the attentions of a man like him…" She leaves the rest unsaid for a moment.

Ionua looks a bit shocked, "You're attracted to him?" She says with a bit of jealousy creeping into her voice.

"Why not? He's big, strong, and has a nice cock." She says without hesitation.

"You don't know much about a man's equipment, you were a virgin last night weren't you?"

The cat nods, "But I have seen them before." She smiles, "The people of the villages are only allowed to don the clothes when we've become adults, so I've seen a lot of penises."

Despite herself the woman blushes, "And Malik cut up your clothes." She pauses.

Another nod and Nalua answers, "Yes he did. That's another reason why I can't go back. I wouldn't be seen as an adult, and the village elders were reluctant to allow me my adult hood in the first place. If they found out what I've done I doubt they'd let me become an adult before the village."

Ionua lifts up one of the packs and takes it outside to the waiting horses, Nalua follows with another. "So you'll go with us naked?"

"You don't know much about the lands around here even though you travel with a battle hardened warrior."

"Knight." She says. She drops the packs, "I suppose I should tell you so you understand." She continues to pull the packs out of the tent as she tells her story.

The can looks at the cuffs surrounding Ionua's ankles and wrists and at the collar. "I was wondering why you wore those." She smiles, "Only the slaves and people like that wear those here in Iial. Your enemy must have really wanted you out of the way."

Ionua nods, "Yes she did."

"Well I was hoping that I could travel with you, so that I wouldn't be taken as a savage." Nalua says.

"I don't understand."

"The laws in the northern lands are a bit strange. The Duke in Iial isn't so stringent as the other lands. Probably because he doesn't need the taxes from the sales."

"I'm not following what you're saying Nalua."

The cat opens her mouth to explain, but at that moment Malik comes back into the clearing. He smiles at the two, "Awake at last? I thought you two would sleep all day."

Nalua turns towards the knight, and she licks her lips along her teeth at the sight of the fat grouse that the knight caught for breakfast, "I was awake since you left, master." She says almost purring.

Malik shakes his head, almost sadly, "I'm no-one's master Nalua. I'm a knight of Iial." He turns to Ionua and then back at Nalua, "I'll have no-one call me master. I'm a servant of the people, and nothing more, or less."

Nalua is taken back for the moment and looks at Ionua. The redheaded sex-sorceress decides to break the mood, "What did you catch Malik?" She asks softly walking forward.

"Just some grouse, it should last us through breakfast and lunch, then we'll be at Kimik's castle by then." He looks at Ionua and at Nalua, "It'll be interesting getting you two in because of laws."

Ionua looks hard at Malik, "What laws?" She says, "Nalua said something about them."

The knight lays down one of the birds and sits besides it, slowly plucking the feathers out as he composes his thoughts. "After the Second Dragon War, when the cat people had served their purpose they were basically neglected, same with the wolf people. They became savage."

"Most did." Nalua interrupts and sits down besides Malik, instinctively close, but not too close as she helps with plucking of the bird without being asked.

The knight nods, "Some of the more domesticated cats stayed in the cities, but they weren't really accepted, and became mostly novelty sex slaves. None had a real purpose. The decedents of the big cats went ferial, though some of the more intelligent joined society as mages and clerics. It was because of them that the laws are as confused as they are."

The cat snorts, "It makes them fare." She says.

"I suppose it does." He looks at Ionua, "In the years following the Second Dragon War, the cats fought with the diminished humans for territory, most often the men won. But still the battles raged as the cats were savage in their attacks. Finally the peace was won and treaties were signed. In the treaties the cats were allowed into the cities as civilized members, and they could take any position they suited, even lord of a nation if they ever rose that high. But to prevent the savage uprising the save hunts started."

Nalua takes the bird from the speaking man and finishes the job as he continues the story, "Since most of the Savage attacks were caused by Cats, and they don't need protection like humans do, it was declared that anyone, cat or human, walking the lands naked was a savage. If caught and brought alive to the cities the hunters could sell them into slavery."

Ionua looks a bit sick, "That's why that bitch left me naked tied to the pole?"

"I doubt it. I said naked, not partially, and you were wearing something, so you were safe from the hunters. But it poses a problem for you two anyways."

Nalua sighs softly, "I want to go with you, but…" She stops and looks at Malik.

"Don't worry we'll think of something, you may not like it but we'll think of something."

* * *

The fires swept through the nameless village, erupting from roofs and windows. Screams of death and panic echoed back against the trees. Most of the village was aflame in the first minute, before the monsters struck.

Golems walked into the village, slaying all the stood in their way. The stone giants were hastily created and walked a straight path, stomping through villagers and buildings with no concern for friend of foe.

Behind the Golems came the fire walkers. Men magically equipped to be covered in flames that seared all in their path. They stalked forward and destroyed all that the Golems missed.

The villagers were killed one by one. Only the young women were spared for the pleasure of the firewalkers, but none escaped into the trees before they violence stopped.

"Well done." The mage who came after said, shadowed by the fire sprite, "But a tad violent." He chastised the men, "None will escape to warn the Duke, but with none alive to serve our needs, we will not go far into Iial."

The leader of the firewalkers bowed his head, "My men are a little enthusiastic."

"Be sure they aren't as enthusiastic the next time Duucann." The mage looked over the captured women, "These will have to do as our slaves. Use those magic detectors I gave you, and find those with magical abilities." He looks at the group, "Separate them off from the rest. You're men can have half the remaining, any that survive the night return to the others."

"And what of the others, mage?" Duucann says with a lustful grin in his eyes.

"Strip and collar them. Then lead them to the fortress. We'll have some servants." He looks at the group of girls, "Find any with any skills first, and make sure your men don't have their fun with those. Because Duucann…" The mage says with a quiet anger, "If I find any of your men has taken a woman with either magic ability or skills we need and has killed them in their lust, I will hand them over to my friend here." The mage waves his hand at the burning sprite.

* * *

The trio spent a moment of quiet as they ate the bird that Malik captured. The battle hardened knight couldn't keep his eyes off the leopardess or the sex witch, both still naked. He did chew his food slowly as he tried to keep his mind on more pressing matters.

Suddenly out of the shadows of the trees struck the knight in the side and brought him to the ground. The knight rolled away from his attacker and climbed to his feet. He grabs the hilt of his sword and brings the blad free of the scabbard.

His attacker rolls and jumps to his feet as well, a quick motion pulls an equally fine blade into the sunlight. The attacker is a leopard man, much like Nalua but covered in rough pants and shirt, not the loin cloths of the village leopards.

The two combatants face off in a combat stance, ready to strike and advance but each poses for the other. Each showing off the muscles that ripples under skin and fur, the powerful legs and arms that are the trademark of their trade.

Nalua doesn't sit idle, she forgets her sword or her state of dress and leaps at the leopard man. The jungle cat makes a bold attempt to attack the sword wielding fur covered man, but he was expecting that. A quick roundhouse kick stops the leap short and sends her to the ground rolling.

"Stay out of this kitten." The leopard man growls, "You do not have the skill for this fight, and this is between us."

The knight of Iial stands there waiting and watching, his pose unconcerned as Nalua gets to her feet in a half crouch. She makes another leap towards the leopard man.

The male leopard just ducks and pushes up with his shoulder into the flying female's belly, sending her rolling off again towards the trees.

Ionua cries out, "You have to do something Malik." But the knight ignores her, as he watches Nalua roar with frustration as she turns and tries to attack again.

The third strike was as unsuccessful as the first as the male leopard jumps above Nalua and swats her bottom with the flat of the sword. Sending the naked cat off balance again and to her chest. She turns and gets to her feet again, hurt in nothing more then her pride.

Midway through her attempt to pounce, Malik commands out, "Nalua hold!" The naked female cat freezes suddenly before she leaps, unable to continue her strike. "This is between us."

The male leopard turns back to Malik and returns his sword to his scabbard, "You're right Malik, she did bond to you."

"You know him?" Ionua says as she goes over to Nalua to make sure she's not hurt.

"Of course I know him." The knight says as he returns his sword back to his scabbard, "This is Risurr. Chief advisor to my duke."

"Risurr?" Nalua says with astonishment, "The hero?" She tries to curl up in a ball as she finds out who she's attacked.

Risurr laughs loudly as he watches the other leopard, "My people call me a hero, but I just do my job." He smiles back at Malik, "Sorry to interrupt your meal, but you seemed distracted from it." He turns to the naked sex witch and bows to her, "You're as beautiful as Malik said you were."

Ionua instinctively covers her breasts and vagina at the examination, blushing slightly and walking over behind Malik to hide herself in her embarrassment. "Thanks you." She says before coming slightly to her senses, "When did he tell you that?"

Malik laughs slightly, "When I caught breakfast. He came upon me with a message from the Duke." He grins at the leopard man. "He tried to sneak up on me but didn't do a good job." The knight teases the leopard man.

Risurr snorts and walks over to Nalua, and with a few strokes along her back and a few words in her ear, gets her to uncurl and stand up. He winks at Malik, "And she's as beautiful and unique as you told me." The female cat looks embarrassed all over again and tries to hide herself by turning around.

"You never cease to amaze me by your ability to make a woman blush, Risurr."

The leopard man laughs loudly, "I think it's because of my history and the exotic nature of my race." He grins at Nalua and walks back over to Malik, "I should be back to the Duke to tell him know I found you, and you should be on your way."

Malik sighs, "I suppose you're right. But first I have to get to Kimik's castle. He has supplies that I will need. And will be able to keep Ionua and Nalua safe while I'm away."

"What?" The two females scream, "You aren't leaving us behind." Nalua says quickly, turning around forgetting her embarrassment.

Risurr gives Malik a look, as if to say 'I told you so.' Malik just grins, "I know, I know Risurr. You told me. And you told me it would be useless to argue." He turns to both Ionua and Nalua. "How will you two be able to help me. You're both naked, and weaponless."

"I have my claws, and Ionua has her magic." Nalua says walking forward, "You aren't leaving us behind."

"You sure about this?" He asks the female leopard, and she nods. He looks at Ionua, "What about you, love?"

Ionua pauses for a moment at those words. She looks at the knight again, and swallows a lump in her throat, "I'm not leaving you Malik." She says, "You found me, and I found something I didn't think I would here, I'm not losing you."

The knight holds the sex witch's hand, and smiles at her before giving her a gentle kiss. He turns back to Risurr, who wears a broad grin and winks.

"Don't give me that look Risurr." The leopard pushes back his head and roars out a laugh.

Nalua steps forward and rumbles a low growl at Risurr, "Why do you mock him."

"Because gentle kitten," he says with a grin, "The one knight all the forces of Niad feared on the battle field has finally been caught."

Malik snorts at the leopard man, "You wish. You'll be caught before I am, Risurr. You know what the priestess of Hrisk said about that."

The leopard laughs again, "Prophecies don't come true all the time. You know that." The leopard man laughs, "And you know I'd rather not have that one come true just yet. Think of all the females that would be heart broken if they thought the leopard hero found a commitment."

"What are you two talking about?" Ionua asks looking confused.

Malik turns to Ionua and gives her another kiss, "During the last war, we went to visit on of the priestesses of Hrisk to see if she could tell our future." He grins as the leopard man paces back and forth, "Basically she said that the leopard boy here would be caught and chained down by love before I would give up my quests for the Duke, and have children."

"Yes she did say that, or roughly that." The cat turns around and starts to walk to the path again, "But I will never give up my place at the Duke's side till the lands are all safe." With that he darks into the jungle and disappears.

* * *

The castle rose out of the trees, before the travelers. Tall and proud the center keep rose several stories to touch the sky. Tall walls surrounded the castle, shining darkly in the fading light of the sun.

"We won't make it to the castle before sunset. We'll camp out and rest up before morning." Malik says as he leads the horses into a meadow to the side of the road.

The meadow pushed against the side of the rocky hills from which the castle was quarried. A small hot spring flowed from the rocky hills, forming several deep pools of water.

"Besides." He says with a grin, "This gives us a chance to figure out how to get you two into the castle, without having to worry about things." He smiles at the naked cat and at Ionua who still only wore the campaign cloak.

Ionua blushes again but she does take off the heavy cloak and lays it to the side. She, and Nalua help the knight pull the packs from the horses and lay them to the side of the meadow. She looks at the water, "Can we wash there?" She asks, "I'm in serious need of a bath."

The man nods and grins, "We all are." He opens one of the packs and pulls out some course soap, "This will have to do, unless Salioua left you something to wash with.

Ionua smiles a bit as she goes through her packs and does find some softer soap and shampoo, "Well a slave does need to be clean for her master." She grins and walks over to Malik and waves Nalua over as well.

She starts tugging the shirt out of his pants, and Malik laughs, "There will be plenty of time to do that later." But he doesn't stop her as she removes his shirt.

"Of course there's time for that later." She grins and starts to wiggle her ample bare breasts against his now naked chest. She peeks at Nalua, who is coming up behind the knight. She makes a few motions with her hands towards the packs at the cat. The sex witch reaches up to get a kiss from Malik and starts to push his pants off his hips and has him step out of his boots.

Ionua takes Malik's manhood in her hand and starts to stroke it gently, "But I want you now, I haven't had this large piece of meat all day." She says with a giggle and rubs it against her belly, winking impishly up at the night.

Nalua spends a few moments going through the packs till she finds what she's looking for. She hides it behind her back and saunters over to Malik and Nalua, rubbing her naked and furry chest against the knight's back, "You've been teasing us all day." She purrs into her ear.

"Teasing you?" He says with a sigh as he's a bit distracted, "How have I been teasing you?"

"Riding there, on that big tall horse of yours. Flaunting your big handsome body." Ionua answers with a grin and another kiss, "And you don't think we're going to put up with it are you?"

Nalua grabs Malik's wrists, with her feline strength and surprise she pulls them behind his back and binds them together with some leather thong. He turns around to see what he can do about freeing himself.

Ionua and Nalua trip the knight and push him gently to the ground before sitting on him, "Can't have you teasing us, now can we?" Nalua purrs slightly as she holds his hands as Ionua wraps leather cuffs around his wrists, and binds them inplace.

She gives Malik's buttocks a swat, "I'm kind of surprised to find cuffs that would fit you exactly." She says as she starts to play with his naked bottom, arousing him more.

Nalua purrs softly as she starts to play with Malik's legs, licking along the backs of his knees before buckling cuffs around his ankles and using a leather thong to tie them together with about a foot of space. "Maybe the master likes to be the pet some times." She grins at Ionua.

"I think we can let him go now." Ionua says with a grin as she continues to play with his buttocks, rubbing her talented hands along his butt crack and against his tight rear muscles.

Nalua shakes his head, "No I think we should use that collar we found when we were loading the horses this morning."

"You went through my things as I was out?" He says a little bit angry.

"Yes we did." Nalua says as she leans forward and licks her long rough tongue against his buttocks, "Master." She says with a giggle and then gets up to find the collar.

Ionua rolls the knight over onto his back and sits down on his aroused cock with a sigh and a moan. She grins at Malik and leans forward to rub her breasts against his chest as she gives him a kiss. Her hips start to rock up and down on the hard shaft inside him.

Nalua comes back and giggles, "I thought you were going to wait for me Ionua."

The sorceress giggles and blushes as she rides the hard long cock. "Well I couldn't wait any longer." She starts to moan as she rubs her hands against the knights muscular chest. "But there's still one way you can get some fun, dear Nalua."

The cat grins as she wraps the collar around Malik's neck and buckles it inplace. "Which way is that?" She asks, "Remember I don't know everything you do."

Ionua laughs softly at Nalua and pulls her over for a kiss as she rocks her hips up and down on Malik's manhood. She grins at the cat and pulls her so that she's straddling Malik's head. "Just let him lick you out."

Malik laughs softly and then starts to press his tongue into the leopard woman's cunt, and starts to lick slightly. He mumbles out something that no-one can understand.

The vibrations of his speech tickle Nalua's vulva and she giggles a bit. She smiles at Ionua and leans forward to start massaging the woman's breasts. The sorceress returns the caresses, both females start to purr softly at the caressing.

Ionua closes her eyes and starts to pump her hips up and down harder and faster on Malik's hard shaft. Nalua's eyes twinkle as she leans forward to start licking her rough tongue against the soft skin of Ionua's breasts. All the while Malik wiggles underneath them as he tries to get free of the leather.

After several hard and forceful thrusts Ionua climaxes with a scream, her throbbing and pulsating cunt force Malik into his own climax. But Malik isn't idle as he bucks his hips up against Nalua. His teeth nibble against the cat's folds and clit.

He groans loudly into Nalua as his hot, white come shoots deeply into Ionua's cunt. He thrusts his hips hard enough to almost buck her off. All the wiggling of his tongue against the cat's vagina pushes her over the edge. Nalua howls out her pleasure as her juices slip into Malik mouth and onto his lips.

The knight laps up the juices greedily as his orgasm lasts a brief while longer. During this time, Ionua continues to fuck his hard shaft fiercely, shaking her head and her hair back and forth as she calls out her climax.

Soon after the climaxes subside, the women get off of Malik and grin at him, the each start to rub their bodies along his sides and help him to his feet, "You know master." Nalua says with a purr and a teasing grin, her paw caressing his cock, "I like you like this."

Malik sighs for a moment as he recovers his breath, "Well you better untie me before we go to the castle, little kitten."

Nalua laughs and swats Malik's buttocks gently and then rubs the firm flesh, "Why is that?"

"Because I'm the one who knows the people in the castle, they might not like seeing me coming in dressed like this." He smiles at the two, "We still have to figure out how we're going to get you in."

* * *

Another village burns in the fertile valleys of Iial. Flames shoot towards the sky as smoke rose to the clouds. Towers of flame bright light to the night, screams gave the night its sound.

A group of firewalkers started their path of destruction towards the village and the people within. Their mission to herd the men and women to the village square and not to kill them.

"Better Duucann." The mage said to his chief warrior. "Don't kill them yet."

The men of the village began fighting back, and died in flames, their charred bodies lining the road for the scavengers to pick clean in the morning.

Each death sent a shiver down the spine of the mage, "Still too many dead, Duucann."

"My men are doing their best to keep them alive, my lord." The flame covered man replied, "But I will not have any of them killed if I can help it."

"And you shouldn't." The mage said, "Those flame suits are expensive, and I don't want any destroyed." The man turned to the fire sprite, always at his side. "Faisuti, light the trees surrounding the village, we don't want any escaping."

The fire spirit laughs slightly, "None shall escape my wrath, mage." The man like form lost its shape and split into two. The fires formed a ring around the village, lighting the dry wood alight. The fires spread deep into the forest, burning all for square miles around the village. The sprite reformed.

"Your wish is granted, mage."

The man paled slightly at the destruction he ordered, as more screams filled the night's air. Wild animals fled towards deeper into the forests, and the villagers lost their will to fight and were herded into the village square.

"Separate the men from the women, Duucann." The mage ordered, "Kill the old and young, let their bodies rot with the dead." The man ordered in a quiet voice, almost regretful.

"Examine the women for those of skill and magical power. Split those off from the rest, as you did before. You may keep the others for your troops, but return the survivors to the slave cages in the morning."

* * *

Ionua lead Malik on the leash she uses for her collar to the pools of hot water. She grins at the knight as he shakes his head and grumbles. Nalua rubs her naked body up against bound man and grins.

"Don't you think you've taken this far enough?" He asks.

"No, we don't." The redhead smiles, "After all if you are going to keep us as your pets, we want you to know how we want to be treated."

"But Ionua. I don't want to keep you as pets." He protests.

"Well, Malik." She says with a grin, "I talked it over with Nalua during the trip, and we agreed that, that would be the best way to get us into the castle." She says with a grin.

Nalua helps Malik into the hot pool of water and starts to stroke his cock back to life, "We'll go in as your pets." She says as she starts to lick along his chest, with her long raspy tongue. "But we don't want you to think it's a permanent thing. And we don't want you going to far with your orders."

Malik opens his mouth to answer, before Ionua gives him a deep kiss. Her hand joins Nalua paw on his cock, "Now no speaking Malik or we'll just have to gag you." She grins as she rubs her body against the man, "We're in charge for the night."

Malik lets out a sigh as the two push him down into the deep water and doesn't say anything for the moment. Nalua starts to rub his back with her free paw, "Now we'll just have to show you how to bathe us."

Ionua leaves the pool for the moment to get the soap. She slips back into the pool after a moment and comes up behind him and sits on a submersed ledge. She pulls the tall man into the ledge as well between her legs which she wraps around him.

The sex sorceress's hands press the muscular man against her breasts and starts to lather up his front. She whispers into his ear, "Now as you bath us, my love, you must always be gentle and loving." She grins at Nalua and asks her, "You know I can show you a few things about pleasing men now too."

The cat purrs as she rubs the man's cock, "Well he seems to like this." Her paw continues to stroke up and down the long wet shaft. "But I think I can please him a bit more if you show me."

Malik sighs softly at the caressing, he pushes his hips back against Ionua, and he can't help ask, "You two planned this didn't you?"

Ionua giggles, "Of course we did." She reaches behind her and pulls a leather ball gag out of the pile of things she brought, "Now I told you not to talk." She pushes the gag into his mouth and buckles it in place. She winks at Nalua.

"So what do I do?" The cat asks.

"Well just get down on your knees in the pool, and I'll let you use Malik as a instructional piece." She grins as Malik rolls his eyes and groans, but he still presses back.

The leopardess kneels down and almost completely submerges in the water but her head is still above the water. She winks back at Ionua, "So now what, my teacher?" She asks with a grin.

"Just start licking his cock." Ionua giggles as her hands move down the broad chest and then pulls Maliks knees apart, "Just gentle licks to start with."

Nalua leans forward and takes the base of Malik's cock in one paw and starts to lick slowly along the hard member. She closes her eyes to enjoy the taste of the flesh.

The sex sorceress smiles slightly and nibbles on Malik's ear, and licks along his cheek by the leather strap holding the gag in place, "You wouldn't want her not fitting in as a sex kitten would you dear?" The knight shakes his head slightly.

"He seems to like it, Ionua." The leopardess says, before she continues her licking of his cock.

"Lick around that purple head, Nalua, and see how he reacts."

The cat grins as she licks across the sensitive head of his cock. Grazing it with her sharp teeth. This causes a long groan to come out of Malik's throat.

"He likes that, Nalua." Inoua says with a grin as her hands go back to massaging his front. She nibbles on the man's ear again. "Now take that shaft into your mouth and suck. Don't bite."

Malik shakes his head back and forth as his long hard cock disappears into Nalua's muzzle. The leopardess reaches down her own front and starts to finger herself under the water as she becomes more aroused by the lesson.

Ionua laughs at the reaction between the two, "Well you seem to have some natural talent." Her hands start to comb her fingers through the hair at the top of Ionua's head. She smiles as she feels the purr. Malik moans at the additional vibrations against his manhood.

"Ooh he likes you purring against his cock as you suck him off." She starts to rub the cat's scalp between her ears, and the purrs increase. "Use your other paw to play and tickle with his balls as you work on his manhood, Nalua."

Malik starts rocking his hips back and forth, closing his eyes with arousal, as the inexperienced cat slowly brings him closer to his peak. With the addition of the tickling along his scrotum it isn't long till he's groaning loudly into the ball gag in his mouth.

"He's about to come." Ionua says with an experienced voice, "Don't be surprised by the taste, it's a bit salty."

After a few more seconds of sucking on his cock, Malik has his climax. He bucks his hips slightly surprising Nalua. The long shaft slips out of the cat's mouth and his come shoots onto the fur of her muzzle.

Nalua opens her mouth to catch the rest, sucking on his cock, and savoring the taste. She smiles as she works her paw against him, and against her own cunt. She purrs and slips back to climax after licking his cock clean.

The leopardess's climax isn't long or hard, but she closes her eyes to enjoy it. She smiles as she opens her eyes, "So how'd I do, Ionua?"

"Just fine Nalua." The sex sorceress says with a grin, "But try to catch all his come next time, saves having to clean yourself up. And some men seem to like that." She leans down to give the cat a deep kiss.

Nalua purrs with pleasure, "Well I'll do better next time, you'll see." She says like a school girl.

Just then a female voice says, "Is this a private party or, can anyone come."
