Red and the woods, with those that lurk within.

[Dox Paradox]

Red stomped his way irately through the woods towards his grandmother's house on the far side of the shade's break forest with look of deep agitation ingrained onto his face. It never failed to amaze him how he could set foot in his home village for a single moment and by some miracle or perception beyond the understanding of man his Nanna knew he was there and had a note waiting for a delivery of a number of herbs to her house both amazed and agitated him at the same damn time. For the most part since Red was old enough to leave he roved the lands amplifying his knowledge of medicine and herbs for both the satisfaction of helping those who needed it and feeding his own hunger for his trade, and to be honest his Nanna was the reason for his love of medicine in the first place so there wasn't getting around making the delivery for his own sense of honor. There was more than one occasion where a lands lord and few rare cases where kings had offered Red the chance to live his life in their castle for the sole purpose of serving as their healer, but even when he was young it was his prerogative to rove, and thus he found it impossible to find any one place to settle for more than a few weeks. Though it had been easy to find most of what his Nanna had asked him to gather it seemed as time passed she asked for one or two rarer items that didn't occur in the area, and so far no matter which lands he traveled he made sure to keep a small stock of those rare plants in the case he might ever need them. While it was amazing that she always knew when he was ranging home he knew her well enough to know she wasn't tracking his every steps, but a small smile spread across his face at the idea that she wasn't simply asking for these things but also testing his knowledge on the art and just how advanced he was becoming.

The path he took was a familiar one, well worn through the thick forest and though there were many who cursed these very woods for harboring creatures of the dangerous and magical variety Red hand never witnessed a single instance that put paid to those words. The only thing that was mystical and strange in these woods was his Nanna, and even though she preferred her solitude she was a caring parent in the absence of his own during his youth. To this day he still wears the deep crimson cloak and hood that is his namesake, and remembered fondly when she told him why his name was thus. It was simply because the day she found him he was wrapped in a silken red cloth that covered him, and seemed fitting enough for the quite baby he was in his youth. Though it grated on his nerves that she always had a shopping list waiting in town when he visited, he wasn't in any way unhappy about seeing her giving the time he had been away. He wrapped the cloak closer around him as he adjusted the small pack on his back and continued, the hood always up just and his eyes closed with his ears opened to the sounds of the birds and woods in early summer growth Red easily made his way towards the small cottage without worry.

Tala, a young she wolf in the area, was rather new to that part of the forest. She was sleeping under an old tree, near the trail that the human boy was walking, unbeknownst to her. She had her head resting on a nice, fluffy pile of leaves, and her tail wrapped around herself to keep her warmer in the cooler nights. She knew about an old woman who was good with medicine and had some other interesting skills, at least that was what the other animals told her. She wasn't sure if she should believe them. She yawned and stretched as she finally woke up, however reluctantly. The little wolf sniffed the air a bit before she sat up slowly. She knew what humans smelled like, but she hadn't smelled this one before. He must be new to the area, she thought, though he seemed to know where he was going. She smelled some herbs on him, and she decided to follow him. Maybe she would get to meet this old lady, since the animals always mentioned her in an interesting light. Her tail wagged a bit, and she raced forward through the trees, darting across the path in front of him a few times. Her tail wagged, and she was excited. She kinda wanted to meet this human too.

 

[Dox Paradox]

Red had seen quite a few strange things in his time, the odd death of an individual, the assorted ailments that plagued both rich and poor, and every now and then the strange deaths of livestock in area's with diseases that affected animals but the streak of a stark naked woman across the path from one bush to the next was beyond him. It wasn't like he hadn't seen naked woman before, with his pension as a healer but from what he saw she was extremely attractive, and though he wasn't entirely sure if he wasn't hallucinating from the sun or the walk but he could have sworn he had seen a tail on her tanned body wagging behind her. One time was strange enough, but twice more she crossed his path and though she was quite good at remaining quite he could just barely sense the woman at the edge of his perception. She was following him... but why exactly? Did she know his Nanna personally? And why the hell was so so very convinced he saw a tail on her body? He flushed at the thought of her body, and though he was familiar with the people form his own lands and those bordering he never saw a person with such finely tanned skin before. There were black men and woman form the far continents but she didn't have the same kind of face. His mind scrutinized half portion of her face that he did see and the beautiful amber of her eyes, but he wondered if this lady was simply mad and had taken a fancy to playing with him or if he was indeed dreaming about the entire thing.

Lumika smiled to herself as she went about her kitchen, checking the oven and the three chickens that were roasting beautifully within as well as the window seal were a large cherry pie sat cooling in the soft breeze. Red was coming this very day, and she always prepared him a full meal with plenty for him to take along when she did let him leave after a few days but the breeze whispered to her softly, and she cocked her ear carefully before a sly smile began curling along her lips. That she wolf was stalking her Red carefully, but from the winds words she was also playing with him while he made his way towards her house which caused her to bring her finger up to tap softly against her chin as she thought. She loved her little Red, even if he wasn't so little anymore and though he was young and of a sprite to travel on his feet she worried for his safety and more so had a deep desire for him to settle down and start a family of his own. Lumika was a witch, without question or concern and every creature in the forest she lived with knew that as well. She was one they could go to if injured, or needed caring but she was also treated with a measure of respect seeing as no harm ever befell Red so long as one of the mystical creatures within kept their eyes out for him. But the little wolf was new here, and though she never personally visited her she still coaxed some of the other creatures to have her stop by for a chat.

The witch smiled deviously at the description of the she wolf, and more so at her Red's apparent innocence as far as woman went even if had seen more than a few he couldn't lie to his Nanna about actually being with one. The wolf was young and attractive, and seemed to have an interest with her Red, and both were young in the golden age of life with plenty of spunk between the two of them. A little chat here, a little bit of food there, and excuse to leave the two all alone in such a big house.... It may have been devious for her to think in such a way but she wanted her Red to settle, and she didn't need to worry so much because the she wolf's species mated for life once the act was committed. She wasn't worried about Red's loyalties but this might very well be the chance for him to settle at last.

She stopped teasing him by crossing his path repeatedly, hiding in the bushes and waiting for him to pass by. Her tail wagged playfully, and she smirked as she watched him. He was a handsome human male, a good frame to his body, and she was going to keep playing with him while they walked to the old woman's house. Once he had passed her, she slipped out of the bushes and walked along behind him, mimicking his posture and steps. When she thought he was going to see her, she yipped and dove into the bushes on the other side of the path. The birds that were in the trees around them were enjoying this game, and their chirping laughter could easily be heard all around him. He looked like he could be a good candidate for a mate. She returned to the path when he turned back, only to dart off when , continuing to play these fun little games with him. The birds were enjoying it also, and a couple of them darted over to Lumika's house to tell the old witch about what the new she-wolf was doing. After a bit, she didn't come back out of the bushes quite yet, until she had run and caught up to him. She growled softly, but playfully behind him before she ran off again to the bushes once more.

 

[Dox Paradox]

Red ketp seeing flashes of the beautiful woman, but more than that he was sure now that she did have some sort of tail and if he wasn't mistaken soft looking ears near the top of her head. But she kept skittering in and out of the bushes and even sneaking up behind him to walk along before moving away again. He would never know who or what she was if she was never still, and so Red seemingly ignored her even if the naked woman was nearly impossible not to look at until he worked up both the courage and nerve to carry out a plan. She seemed very interested in him for some reason or another, and so he waited patiently until she zipped across in front of him once more. It was nearly impossible to do what he had planned due to her speed, but for a human he was quite agile himself. Red did the one thing to stop her that he could think of and simply stuck out his foot when she was crossing his path and tripped the poor girl in the process of running in front of him. What he hadn't counted on was how fast she really was going when he dove to catch her so she wouldn't smash into the ground, and using quite a bit of his own strength to lift her up far enough so she would land on top of him. The girl was going a hell of a lot faster than he had thought, because he thudded heavily into the hard packed dirt of the path and actually bounced once before coming to a stop and was nearly winded in the process.

Dazed but otherwise intact he hadn't noticed that he was still holding a very warm and exceptionally soft naked woman against his body, who was lying on top of him and more beautiful than he could have ever imagined. When she looked up at him he could help but stop breathing for a moment when he caught the golden hues of her eyes. His hands instinctively slid further down her silky back with his left hand brushing against very fine soft fur, which made him blink his own crimson eyes in surprise. She was easily the most beautiful woman he had ever encountered, with skin the color of dark honey and with her weight resting on top of him he didn't really care that he was lying in the middle of the path and simply wanted to stay there under her. "....hello..." Was all that Red could manage at that moment as he remembered that he needed to breath.

 

[Kanna]

The little wolf giggled as she played with him, her tail wagging cutely, until something hit her foot, making her trip. Her speed still managed to use her slight body weight against herself, and she felt herself falling. She would have hit the ground hard, but he caught her. They both fell, though, and she somehow ended up on top of him. Her tail wagged, and she looked at him with her cute, soft ears perked up as she stared at the handsome boys he had been following. She giggled again as she looked down at him cutely. Her tail thudded against his leg, and she moved to snuggle against his broad chest. He smelled yummy, almost like he was a piece of wolf candy. One hand absently slipped under his shirt, and she scratched lightly over his chest and stomach, her tail still wagging playfully. "Hiya!!" she beamed down at him. "What's your name? I'm Tala!" She was enjoying his hands playing over her back, ass, and tail. She lightly licked his cheek, unable to resist his scent. She had to know how he tasted.

 

[Dox Paradox]

Red wasn't expecting her to be very happy being tripped and landing on top of her but from just how bright she was and how her tail wagged adorably behind her she seemed very pleased to be where she was. What he wasn't expecting was to feel her soft hand slip very personally under his shirt to lightly trail down his chest and stomach making him shudder with pleasure as he listened to her music like voice. So Tala was her name, but as much as he didn't want to believe it here was undeniable proof there were things in the world and legends that people were told actually held some semblance of truth. Even as his mind reeled with the idea she was something other than a human his body was of a mind of it's own as his member throbbed with the pleasure such a beautiful woman pressed against him. Human or not every little thing about the girl was turning him on from the soft squishy feel of her bare breasts against his chest to her soft and yet somehow powerful scent that outstripped any other scent that could ever be boasted by a human woman. And as he blinked and his mind cleared for a moment he noticed that his hands had traveled down to firmly hold her round ass in a way more intimate than he had ever shared with a lady of his own species. The soft feel of her tongue against his cheek only made him that much more aroused, and though his face flushed a deep red with the situation they were in it was very apparent how much he wanted the cute wolf girl. Of all the things that could have happened today, this was by far the most embarrassing and delightful he could have imagined, and though his mind still reeled with what was happening he sighed and threw caution to the winds and acted on his own attraction to the woman. Later he would question weather or not it was simply out of lust or the general interest they seemed to have with each other but it felt right leaning into a very personal kiss with the little wolf, his own tongue tentatively touching her lips before meeting her own only making his already throbbing member ache with need as he tasted her for the first time.

Of course the birds were watching... or at least at the beginning before things got intimate and they left the two odd lovers to whatever personal escapades they chose to pursue but they did fly back to the old witch who had been patiently waiting for news on her Red's arrival. Though it came to a surprise to her at how honest Red was with the wolf girls advances she hadn't expected things to explode so quickly between the two of them. Not that she was disturbed by the fact she was happy things were going in the direction she had wanted to she decided to leave the two new lovers be for now and let them wander to her home on their own time. Walking into the living room next to the fireplace Red's Nanna sat in a rocking chair and began knitting a tiny sweater of forest green that would be wearable by either a mail or female baby and wondered just how long it would be before Red provided the older witch with a few grand babies to play with.

 

[Kanna]

The little wolf girl wagged her tail happily, enjoying the feel of his hands squeezing her ass. She was loving how his hands felt, so perfectly fitting to her backside. She could feel his length getting harder in his pants, and his arousal was playing on her nose. She wagged her tail even more, and she moved to bury her face in his neck for a moment. His scent had her own starting to escalate, and she could feel her pussy starting to get a bit wet. She wiggled slightly, moving her hand over his chest and stomach before she slit it with a long nail and tore it off of him moments before he moved to kiss her. She moaned into the kiss heatedly, letting his tongue meet hers in a passionate tangle.

Tala didn't even notice when the birds and squirrels vacated the area, since she was so enthralled with this human boy. She was getting so very hot from just his scent, his touch, and his kiss, and she panted heatedly already. It almost seemed like her body knew him already, and she wanted to know him even more. She pressed her lush breasts firmly against him, her tail lifted as though to invite him to grab and pull it as much as he wanted. She was more than ready for his boy to become her mate.
