The Lion, the Witch and the... Jackal? [Haru::vampire]

"We'll find you a good healthy mare that you won't need to save. Money will be no barrier, I assure you." Okoru promised and then said, "We'll buy your supplies, ut are you not worried that the witch will backtrack the spell to you? Also, I believe the witch might have actually stolen an item, and we no longer have access to it. How might that affect your own magic?" he asked, unsure of how all of this worked. Magic was not something he pretended to understand.
 
"If I used the spell then she can sense me trying to track her down then turn it on me to hunt me down. But if the item is gone....Then the trail is cold. I can't help you find her until she makes another move." Shrugging her shoulders as she was of no use right now since the only item the witch had touched was gone, Lillian couldn't track them down, Okuro couldn't track them down either. "So right now...You're at a dead end, Okuro. How do you plan to track this threat down if there is no lead?"
 
Giving a little shrug Okoru said, "Well, I am sure that somebody knows something. I'm not sure just where to start, but enough broken bones will yield results eventually." he said, and finished his other sandwich and downed more wine.

"Do you have no other way to proceed? If not, then I suggest we pick a place known to sell witchy things and I start aggressive negotiations." Okoru suggested, though he knew that Lily would likely not approve.
 
She looked at him. "How did you find me? I mean how did you know I was a witch in the first place?" Asking him as she sipped her wine as she knew very little of his abilities.

"You see....Witchcraft is considered evil. No matter what. Even my magic is pure evil or the darkest since...Well I'm death." Laughing softly as she shook her head draining the rest of her wine. Once her glass touched the table she looked at him. "My magic is for restore beings, track them down or...." Well the wine was getting to her which made her thoughts more clouded. Groaning as she put her head in her hands trying to think. "I heal...control over elements, track people down, help births from cattle to people." Rubbing her eyes as she had experimented with the darker arts of magic and that tends to taint one's soul.
 
"You? I found that thief trying to get away. I had no idea you were magically inclined in any way, and witches are not inherently evil or bad, it's just that most tend to use their power for personal gain and not to help others. My master has those in his employ that practice magic, but none seemed competent or skilled enough to track this other witch. Anyway, I didn't know you were a witch." Okoru said.

He watched her carefully and then said, "I can tell that you try to help people, and I do not think you're evil at all. I know that practicing darker magic gives one more personal power and that is why most cannot stay away. But I would not look down on your for that. Hopefully we can track down this other witch and end her." Okoru said.
 
"That's the thing...Witches of all sorts tend to hide since its bad." Looking at him seeing he was trying to be caring and supportive. "So tracking this being down is a losing battle." Rubbing her head as she thought things out. "Perhaps return to your King and convince him to let me work with the others to see where they messed up."
 
After a moment to think it over Okoru nodded. "I can do that. Take you home with me, so to speak, and let you speak to the Caliph. I am sure that between us both we can convince him to employ you. Should that occur then you will be able to practice your craft and not be persecuted, as well as make a decent living." he informed her. Hopefully that was something that came to pass.

"Once we leave here we'll still go see about a nice mare for you, and then we can head south." Okoru said.
 
Nodding to him as she took some time to get her head time to clear. She helped him put the meals back in their bags and corked the rest of the wine. Followed him out the back door of the Tavern then headed to the market place. There she looked among the mounts seeing most were to sickly that they were lucky to be able to move. Though two did catch her attention but one of them had a scent that made her smile.

"Those two there. The massive painted stud and the lithe golden mare....She's pregnant." Lillian stood there with her cloak wrapped over her head to keep her appearance hidden.
 
Makg sure they departed the inn without mishap, Okoru and Lily soon had entered the bazaar close to the edge of town, and it was there that they looked for another horse for the witch. She could smell nearly as well as he could, and soon she had settled on two that were quite healthy.

"You pick the one that you want, and if you think you want a foal, then we can get you the mare. Unless you think you want her to keep her healthy and well cared for. Are you sure she'll give birth to a healthy baby?" he asked, looking around at the conditions of the place. He had little problem buying the stallion and the mare both since they were going to be going south and they'd be cared for by his master.
 
"How long will it take to travel from here to your home?" She took a deeper whiff of the air. She couldn't tell if the mare would keep the foal as it may have been a mix up on the horse round up to the bazaar. "If she's to far along then I can't ride her. The stud I can use but once she has the foal then my travels would be quicker." Watching the mare with her darting away from the handlers as if the creature was dancing gracefully with little effort.
 
"It is several days travel, and we also go by ship. Okoru informed her, and then produced a coinbag and paid the trader for both the mare and the stallion. "I do not need a mount, but it would be a waste to have these sold to anyone that might abuse them." Okoru stated. The way the mare danced around she was obviously spirited and Okoru asked, "Will you be able to wrangle her?" He was unsure if Lily could get the mare to calm, but hopefully she had a way with animals.

"My home is to the south, but the trek should not be difficult. Have you ever traveled south before?" he asked.
 
"This is as far South I've ever been." Whispering to him as the ropes were handed off to him. Though the mare tried to bolt away from Okuro as he was massive. Yet Lillian stayed back with the crowds of people moving to try to get the mare wrangled. Her green eyes glowed brightly as she seemed to move effortlessly through the crowd to shove her hand right on the mare's chest. Lillian could see through the mare's memories of being captured, whipped, shoved, beaten, then forced here.

"Okuro...." She spoke softly yet with a stern tone without looking back at him she held her hand out for the rope. She was trying to soothe the Mare's heart but she was fighting back hard. "The rope, Okuro!" Her tone grew more intense as she felt like she was losing a battle.
 
Okoru had an idea that the mare was skittish, and as Lily managed to touch the steed and then cried for the rope, Okoru fumbled to hand her the right one. Lily's voice was a little shaky and he manged to shove the rope into her waiting hand, hoping that she'd be able to capture the mare and settle the animal down.

Okoru kept the crowd back to allow Lily room to work, and his eyes settled on the man that ran the small stable, wondering if he'd abused the mare in some way.
 
Lillian stood there struggling as she sort of danced to keep the hooves from stepping on her. She began to tremble as she managed to soothe the mare's fears. "Its okay girl...You're going to go a good place. For good." Whispering softly as she leaned against the mare to look at Okuro with her white smile showing under her hood. Leading the mare out with him holding the Stud, she laid her head on his arm.

"Do you take females often?" Perhaps that wasn't the best question while they shopped for her things but soon she was sitting up on the mare's back while her stuff was settled on the large stallion, who seemed to be built for hauling.
 
Okoru watched as Lily got the mare to calm enough to climb on her back and he was quite proud of her. As he led the stallion away, their things stowed away, the question from Lily caught him off guard. He shook his head.

"Actually no. My life is rather lonely, all things considered. I am not barred from laying with females, but my work often prevents me from indulging in such things. That is why it meant so much to me that you gave yourself to me, and why I found myself so possessive and protective of you." He did not apologize for such things, but hoped she understood and would look past his actions. He had spoken true when he said that he also hoped that it was not a one time thing. Lily was quite fetching and Okoru could see himself being with her for quite some time if she allowed it and if she came under the employ of his Caliph.
 
That struck her as odd. Lions ran in prides so 1 male would have many females and yet he didn't? "I had assumed since you're a Lion....A male lion that you'd have yourself a small pride or have cubs running around and waiting to greet you upon your return." The offspring greeting one parent did make her smile but she looked down as she followed him through the crowds on the mare's back.

Soon with previsions they were headed back to inform his Caliph that he hadn't exactly failed but brought a pure asset to the kingdom.
 
Okoru just shook his head. "I am away too much, and though many might think it odd, I want to stay with any family I sire and not leave them behind. So I have never taken a mate." he said, and fell silent after that.

They did not spend long in the market and soon they had their supplies and Okoru was leading them out of the city. The stallion they had bought was loaded with what they were bringing and the mare seemed to be ok with Lily on her back. It was not long before they were on the road and heading south.

---------------​

The first day saw them passing many travelers going to the city, and traffic on the road was heavy. They received a lot of stares,but nobody was hostile in any way, and if any knew Lily was a jackal, none said a word. The travel was a little slow, but they managed to cover quite a few miles and soon the sun began to set. Okoru, with the magic cottage he'd brought from his homeland, smiled as he brought them to a stop and moved off the road quite some distance and over a hillock to keep them out of sight and away from other possibly nosy travelers. Once finding a suitable place he activated the cottage, with its' small attached stable, and looked at Lily with a smile.
 
While traveling she'd looked over at Okuro surprised he never had females waiting to welcome him home. Yet she began to wonder herself about what she wanted in her life. Soon she found herself stopped further from where he had stopped. "Oh!" She stared in shock on what was happening before her. Watching the cabin expand in front of her amazed her yet she rode over slowly to jump down. Once things were unpacked she walked into the cabin.

Inside there was a large soft bed, a fire place made for cooking, and a wash room off to the side. Lillian was clearly amazed by this new form of magic. "Wow, this is incredible!"
 
The lion smiled at the wonder that Lily showed with the cabin and he could hear her exclamations outside as he put up the horses and made sure they were watered and fed. Then he joined Lily in the cabin and started a fire to ward off the chill of the night and began to prepare dinner. The well stocked pantry provided a number of things to choose from, and the magical icebox gave them chilled water and beer to drink.

"I am glad you like the traveling cabin, and I hope you don't mind sharing a bed with me yet again." he said, and gestured to the massive hanging bed.
 
Smiling as she walked over to him while her hands moved over his armored chest. "Who said I would mind? After all I am still in heat and will be for the next day or two. My kind often mate often to ensure offspring." Shrugging her shoulders as she looked up at him. "I'm surprised you didn't allow any other male to come close to my hips. Trying to claim your territory?" Smirking as she moved licking his throat then giving him a gentle nibble while her fingers tugged at the straps of his armor to have it clash down to the floor.
 
The huge white lion was a little taken aback by her bold actions, but he had to remember, even as she reminded him, that she was in heat and wanton, and would be for a few days yet. Her words were teasing, but as she looked up at him, her tone tinged with amusement, Okoru had to nod, for it was the truth.

"I am not ashamed to say so. I want you all to myself." he admitted, and a purr erupted from his throat as she licked and then nibbled there, the straps to his armor undone and the breastplate crashing to the floor. Okoru's long arms slipped down, hands caressing along her sides as he then grabbed her warm soft posterior and squeezed, lifting her up into a kiss as he claimed her mouth.
 
To feel his powerful arms wrapping around her to grab her rump had her smiling. Yet she moaned in the kiss with her slipping her slender arms around his neck. Silently she parted the kiss while she looked into his eyes.

"What else do you have to teach this dog?" Smirking as her tail wrapped between his leg to cup his heavy balls while the tip of her tail played with the soft skin right between his balls and rectum. "Afterall..." Her fingers danced in his mane. "I'm yours until we get back to you land." She had figured this was a casual encounter between them. Yes, they'll still have that special connection where she'll turn to him for needs and perhaps he'll turn to her for his own.
 
"Mmmmmm." Okoru moaned into the kiss, then gasped as her tail cradled his heavy balls, the bright red tip of his cock just now poking up out of his sheath, and her tail somehow snaked between his thighs to tease his perineum and his fingers stroked the base of her tail.

"Mine, you say? I suppose I can settle for that." he said, and lifted her, hands cupping her bottom, her cheeks spreading as her weight was placed in his hands, and Okoru carried her to the hanging bed and laid her down, his fingers working deftly at the buttons of her dress, getting it to fall open, her large round breasts soon revealed as his mouth suckled one of them, his slightly rough tongue lapping over her nipple.
 
While he lifted her up she had held onto him while he carried her over to the bed. Upon sitting on the bed she looked up at him presenting her chest. His claws worked on getting her dress off but with her hips shifting she let the dress fall to the floor. He was quick with him latching onto her breast.

Gasping as she felt his tongue running over her nipple. Moaning as her head fell back. "Oh yes! Give me more my Warrior!" Growling softly as her hand slowly reached down stroking her tender folds. She could feel the juices flowing between her legs making her moan louder. Yet she must learn this traveling magic but back in his homeland his Caliph may have other plans for her. "Is there another of my kind there in you land?" To her if she was ready for pups she'd let another of her kind to knot her for days to ensure she had a litter to pass on her blood line.
 
The gasp she gave and the crying out was quite nice and Okoru was pushing her large breasts together and switching between her erect nipples as he licked and sucked. She was eager, to be sure, and he was glad for it as the scent of her reached him and drove his desire for her higher, fanning the flames of his passion.

Her fingers stroked over her pussy, her scent permeating his senses and he growled soft and low as he suckled at her breasts, sure to leave them aching and tender. Her pussy was wet and he could hear it as she played, and her question brought a nod. "Aye, there are your kind there." he admitted, though seemed reluctant to mention much more, his possessive nature already on display as a lion. He'd not keep her from her own kind, and yet he knew if she had pups he'd need to stay away from her and them lest he slaughter them.

Pushing those thoughts from his head, Okoru kissed down her fertile body and then lapped at her pussy, her sweet nectar rolling over his tongue.
