Ultimate Assassin Saga: Tundra

The two Blood Demons dissolved into their passion once more.

XXXXXXXXXX

Breal didn't want to move. He was comfortably pressed up against his partner and the last thing he wanted to do was move, much less get up. His cock was still rock hard and pressing against his partner's hip, letting him know that he was still affected by the lust in his system.

The two men had spent nearly an entire day, day and night, in Breal's bed. The two men had seemingly been unable to slake their lust for one another and they both had probably exerted more energy on one another than they had in days past. Even battles in the past couldn't compare to how much energy they had used pleasing one another.

The Half Demon slid his hand down the other man's abdominal muscles and down to his cock. It was soft and limp, but the moment that his long, slender fingers closed around it, his cock began to harden once more. He smirked as his partner moaned softly and spread his legs, obviously ready to give himself over to another round of lustful sex. Before either of them could get started though, a voice sounded in both of their heads and it was a familiar one that made them both spring apart as if they'd been walked in on in mid-rut.

'Breal, Tide, there is a small contingent of Blood Demons here.' said the voice of Tide's sister, Twister, and she sounded quite amused. He wondered why Tide's sister would be amused, but then again, if she could look into their minds, she could probably sense what they were doing when she had. She had obviously seen that she had interrupted their next bout of partnering with one another. 'They have informed me that Lord Shido needs to meet with you Breal and that you are to come right away. It's important and can't wait.'

The Half Demon cursed and looked into the eyes of his partner. The man looked amused, but there was also a look of disappointment in his eyes. Obviously he had wanted them to finish as well and he wasn't too happy about being interrupted either and especially not happy about being interrupted by his sister. He smiled in apology to the Amazon as he pulled his hand back from his stiff cock and he sat up, running a hand through his crimson hair.

The Blood Demon pulled the cover back from his body and he swung his legs over the side, pushing to his feet. Then, he moved around pulling on his clothing, and when he was finished dressing, he looked at his partner. However, the man had already gotten up from the bed and was dressing as well. He narrowed his eyes and frowned as the man strapped his broadsword to his hip. Why was he getting dressed too?

The Amazon Prince looked up at him, and when he saw his partner watching him, the amazon grinned. He flexed his arms, making sure the armor was settled on his frame correctly and his blue eyes seemed to glow with his amusement. Then, he lay his left hand on the hilt of his broadsword and seemed to be waiting for him to come along.

Breal said nothing as he walked towards the door and stepped out into the hallway, leaving the door open. He walked down the hallway with the sound of Tide's boot steps right behind him and he knew that he would be coming with him. Apparently, there was no way for him to get away from his partner now, not that he would want to anyway, but he hadn't thought that it would be that obvious.

Reaching the end of the hallway, he could already see the small contingent of Blood Demons that had come to get him, and while he didn't know who they were, he knew that none of them would act without the Lord's order. So, he felt no fear as he stepped into the living area and waited for what the Blood Demons would say. One of the Demons was larger than him and muscular with short dark brown hair. The other Demon was smaller and more petite, very feminine looking in the face, but the sword he had strapped to his back was anything but feminine.

Both Demons turned their gazes to him and their eyes glowed, but there wasn't a trace of any emotion in either one of their faces. He blanked his own face, careful to keep his emotions shuttered away and he stood tall and straight. He kept his spine ramrod straight and he stared at the two Blood Demons, his eyes glowing with upper crust power.

"Take me to Lord Shido." Breal told them in a commanding voice, his stature speaking of a higher rank then either one of them, though neither one of them would take any offense to that. After all, they were here to escort him to the village and he knew it. They wouldn't dare harm him or speak out of turn, but neither one of them looked angry about his remarks. In fact, they looked like they had expected such a reaction from him and he had to wonder why that was.

Both Demons turned away and walked towards the door. The Half Demon spared a glance at the silver haired Twister who stood there with a wide grin on her face, but when she noticed him looking at her, she nodded her head to him. He nodded back and he followed after the two Demon escorts. He noticed that his partner was following behind him instead of at his side and he had to wonder why that was. He knew that he would come along with him, but he didn't understand why he was standing behind him.

Stepping out into the village, the two Demons turned back to look at him and the man behind him. One raised a brow, but neither one of them spoke anything of it. He was sure that they hadn't intended for the Amazon to come with them, but anything that the Blood Lord needed to speak with him about could be spoken in front of his partner as well.

He knew what they were thinking however. There was no way a Human could keep up with their speed and he knew that to be true. So, he turned and looked upon his partner. The man was standing there, looking at him with a confused look on his handsome face. He knew that there was only one way that he was going to be able to bring along the man, but he didn't know how his partner would feel about it.

"If your to come with, you will have to ride on my back." Breal told the Amazon in a voice devoid of all emotion and he waited for his reaction. The Amazon blinked, unsure what he meant, but then, his cobalt blue eyes cleared and his eyes widened in shock, his cheeks turning bright red with his embarrassment. He had suspected that he would be embarrassed by that, but he wasn't too worried about it. He would understand. "We are simply too fast for you to keep up on your own."

The Prince looked even more embarrassed by this, but suddenly, he smiled widely. Then, he nodded his head and he stared at him, obviously unsure how to do this.

"Well, I can handle that I suppose." Tide replied in a steady voice and he waited to see what the Blood Demon would do. The Blood Demon nodded his head, turned away from the man, and knelt down, offering his back to his partner.

Breal waited patiently, but he didn't have to wait long. The Amazon leaned down with his arms wrapped around Breal's neck and waited. Knowing that he could support the Amazon, he pushed to his feet and he reached back to grip the Amazon's thighs, making sure that he was pulled tightly against his back. He settled the man more comfortably against his back and he raised his blood red eyes to the two Blood Demons watching them with dispassionate eyes.

The two Demons said nothing as they turned back around to face the beauty of the High Forest. Without a word, the two men practically disappeared, moving so fast that they were only black blurs against the sunlit forest, but he had no problem with that. After all, he knew that he could keep up with no problem, and in fact, he was fairly certain that he could actually move faster than them.

Without a word to his partner, Breal began to run, moving at high speed and easily catching up to the Blood Demons and running even faster to get to the village first.

XXXXXXXXXX

Tide held tightly to his partner's back as he ran, the wind whipping through his ink black hair and whipping it out behind him. Much to his surprise, he didn't feel like a complete idiot holding onto his partner and being carried this way. In fact, he found that he rather liked it though he would never admit that out loud. He was suppose to be a big macho man who could fend for himself after all and that would damage his image, not that he really cared about that at all.

Breal moved faster, easily surpassing the other two Blood Demons and he saw the looks of surprise in each of their eyes. The Amazon felt pride wash over him that his partner was so powerful and so fast that even full blooded Demons couldn't catch up to him. It was something for him to be proud of, but it wasn't what he wanted.

What he would love right now was to be in his bed with his partner deep inside of him right now.

While the Half Demon was thinner than him, he was stronger than him and he knew it. After all, he had Demon blood and he knew better that that gave the Half Demon more strength than any Human could ever hope to have. Plus, there was the fact that the Half Demon had picked him up many times in their lovemaking effortlessly and he'd come to realize that he was going to be the one on the receiving end more times than not.

The Prince could feel the strong, lanky body beneath him and he moaned inwardly. This body he knew was powerful and was elegant in its movements. It was also very strong and durable, nearly impossible to break or wear down. The Prince raised his head and stared forward at the trees that were passing them as blurs of browns and greens.

Breal's speed was truly amazing.

Before he knew it, Tide saw the black outline of the Blood Demon village, and even though he couldn't make out the details of it at such a high speed, he could tell that it was quite large. Suddenly, the Blood Demon came to a halt on one of the high branches of the trees and he stared down at the village with the man on his back looking as well.

The village was quite large, sprawling two miles from side to side easily and five miles from top to bottom. Also, each building was made of wood and was built in a box-like fashion with large doors and tempered glass windows. Each building was two stories and had several windows in them, hinting at the many dozens of rooms in each home.

Surrounding the huge village was a tall wooden gate with paths atop the gates to create more of a defensible position and he noticed several Demons moving along the lengths of the paths atop the wooden gate. The gate doors were made of steel and were guarded by two pairs of Blood Demons, two on each side of the gate door. All in all, it was imposing sight filled with thousands upon thousands of Demons and well guarded by the same Demons.

Just as he finished looking over the village, Tide felt his partner moving once again, but this time, he wasn't moving forward. Instead, he had simply stepped off the branch of the tree and was falling to the forest floor. When the Blood Demon landed, he crouched down immediately, hinting that he should get off and he loosened his arms to do so. When his feet were back on solid ground, he felt even better, and when he straightened up, he realized that his partner had allowed him to walk on his own two feet to the gates to save his pride some.

Just as he realized this, the Amazon heard movement behind them and he turned to look. The two Blood Demon escorts had stopped five feet behind them and he noticed that the smaller one was glaring at the back of his partner's head. He didn't take well to being ridiculed so he stepped into the small man's way and glared right back at him. The Blood Demon seemed surprised, but he nodded before backing off.

The Prince turned back to see his partner looking at him with a proud smile upon his handsome face. The Half Demon nodded his head, telling him that he approved of what he had done and he turned back to the gate. The Prince stared at the gates as well and wondered what the Blood Lord could want of the Half Demon now.

"Let's go." Breal finally said in a quiet voice and he turned to look at him. The Amazon could see the gentleness in his partner's gaze, but he knew that that look was solely for him. Once they entered the Blood Demon village, they would both have to remain emotionless and not show any sort of weakness to anyone around. If they did, they could be judged as weak and maybe torn apart. "We wouldn't want to keep Lord Shido waiting."

Tide nodded his head and he stepped up next to the Half Demon. The two men walked from the trees towards the gate, and when the four guards of the gate saw them, they nodded their head. Tide noticed that a couple of the guards atop the gates were looking at them and they had short bows in their hands, obviously ready to attack them if necessary. He didn't care about that though because he knew that they weren't about to be attacked because they weren't going to be attacking and betraying anyone.

Two of the four Blood Demon guards grabbed the large handles of the metallic gate and they pulled the double gate doors open. They flew open without a sound and he found himself amazed that they didn't make a creaking noise. Most iron or metallic gates creaked with precipitation no matter how new or old they were and the fact that they could keep them so well kept together was amazing to him.

The Amazon walked with his partner through the massive gates and into the village of the Blood Demon clan. He called it a village, but it was more of a compound with this level of protection and fortification. He looked around everywhere, seeing more than one guard within the gates, their gazes searching for any sign of trouble and looking ready to defend if necessary. This village wouldn't be easy to breach and burn by anyone, most especially the Dark Races.

Tide tore his gaze from the guards and he looked around the village, noting that there were several people moving around doing their tasks for the day. He could smell the scent of burning metal and hear the sounds of metal pounding metal. That was obviously the work of a blacksmith and his gaze noticed that one of the wooden homes had a thick plume of black smoke billowing out of the roof, obviously marking it as the smithy.

There were people moving all around the village, mostly men, but there were some women, though not one of those women were unaccompanied by a man. There were several small children with their parents moving around, bustling here and there, doing things that the Amazon Prince wasn't sure of. He didn't really see anyone working, but he knew that they were. It was a lot like a small city and he found it surprising that such a new village could adapt so quickly.

The partners made their way through the village, weaving in and out of people as they made their way towards the middle of the village. Even Tide had noticed that the village seemed to be built around the protection of one home that was settled in the middle of the village. True, it was the same as any other building or home, but he knew that the village had been built to protect the one home. Within that one home would be Lord Shido and Lady Leanna.

As they approached the front door of the home, he noted that there weren't even any guards around the front door as he'd expected. However, there was no missing the garrison that was built to the right of the home that housed many young male warriors and another such garrison to the left. If anyone attacked this home, they would have to go through two garrisons of well trained soldiers first, and being that there were over two hundred fifty soldiers in each garrison, that would be a suicide mission.

Breal didn't miss a step as he walked faster towards the house and he opened the door without knocking, stepping inside. The Amazon Prince stepped inside as well and walked beside him into the home, amazed by what he saw inside. The outside was carefully guarded, but not overtly. However, the inside was by far different. There was a soldier standing against each wall and he was sure that each room would have a similar guarding.

It was a powerful way to guard one's leader.

The Half Demon didn't hesitate as they walked the halls, moving as if he knew where he was going and he had no doubt that he did. After all, he had Demon blood, and if there was one thing that he knew about Demons, they could sense things that Humans couldn't. He trusted his partner to lead them to the proper place, and besides, this matter concerned the Half Demon, not him. There was no way he would lead him astray.

Finally, they stopped in front of a thick wooden door at the end of a hall and he noted that there were more guards in this hallway. There were two guards standing across from one another every ten feet and there was about one hundred feet down the hallway. The Blood Demon didn't hesitate and raised his hand, knocking soundly on the door.

"Enter." called out the voice of Shido with no emotion in it and he opened the door. The two men stepped into the room beyond, and as he noted before, there was a Blood Demon guard on each door, obviously protecting their Lord even within his inner sanctum.

The office was large and was shaped in a circular manner. This room was well decorated unlike the rest of the house and he wasn't surprised by this. After all, this was the Blood Demon Lord's inner sanctum where he would do all his work and he needed it decorated correctly. The floors were covered in thick dark red carpet that muffled their boot steps and made it possible to sneak across the floors. The walls were deeply cut and well carved mahogany. The desk was large and carved of redwood with a magicked lamp at the top of the desk, casting a golden light across the desk. Behind the desk hung on the wall was a painting of Lord Shido and Lady Leanna embracing one another with love shining in their eyes as they looked at one another. This painting showed the love and adoration that mates could have for one another. It also showed the fact that their mating wasn't just one of convenience and done on ceremony alone. It was all about their love.

Set in the front of the desk were several wood carved chairs with thick plush leather cushions for seats and backrests to give them comfort while they met with the Lord of the Blood Demon clan. The Blood Lord did all he could to make sure that everyone that he met with was comfortable and felt safe.

The full blooded Demon sat up straighter in his chair when he saw them and he smiled at them. However, he banished that smile when he turned his attention to the two guards. He waved a hand, dismissing them and both men bowed their heads to the man before they turned away from him, leaving the office. The door shut behind them and the Amazon was fairly certain that the two guards that had just left the room were now going to guard the door and make sure that no one went inside while they were having their meeting. Nothing to interrupt the Lord of the Blood Demons while he was doing business.

"I am glad to see that you both chose to come." Shido said warmly as the guards left the room and he sat back in his chair. He tapped his clawed fingers against the carved redwood desk and stared at them. "This does concern you both after all and this will save Breal the trouble of telling you later. Please, both of you have a seat and lets get this started."

Tide turned his head to look at the Half Demon's face, but he didn't turn his eyes away from the Blood Lord. His eyes were narrowed as if he could find something within the man's face that he wasn't telling him just yet, but he knew that he wasn't going to find what he was searching for. The best way for them to figure out what the Blood Demon Lord had summoned them here for was to take a seat and speak with the man.

The Amazon decided that it was up to him to make the first move so he took a step towards the chair and he took a seat. He looked back at his partner who still stood there, staring at the Blood Demon Lord unblinkingly. As he stared at his partner, he noticed that he finally came from his reverie, whatever he had been thinking pushed to the back of his mind for now. Breal walked slowly forward, moving like a predator stalking his prey, and he sank slowly into the chair next to the Amazon.
