Feyet slammed back into Jubilee’s hips. They hadn’t stopped rutting for nearly two full hours. Feyet was now bent over asnd felt Jubilee’s exhaustedly thrust into her. She was chasing that feeling of this wonderful pleasurable that she had denied herself for years. She had had sex before Jubilee, but never had she felt like she wanted it asso very much as this. Her body felt like it would split in half every time that Jubilee bottomed out within her. Her cervix screamedwas screaming in pain and exhaustion, but she welcomed that pain every single time.  However, that wasn’t where Jubilee was pounding into her.

Her species’ genetic adaptation includeds abandoning the cloaca for two separate sections like most of the other animal kingdom. This meant that Jubilee was buried deep in her ass, and her lovely slit had provided plenty of lubrication and now she wasthey were just ramming into her. 

Jubilee was surprised she could get herself aroused anymore. Her thighs burned, her hips ached, her abdomen screamed for rest. SheHer held on to Feyet with her larger hands and pulled back to ram herself into Feyet again and again. Her length tinglscreamed from being overly sensitive and the pleasure. It had taken so much effort to stretch and open up Feyet’s backdoor; and it was so tight and much rougher than her love tunnel,. yYet Jubilee was all with it now, she could actually put her entire length into Feyet this way.

Feyet kept having to reassure herself she hadn’t hurt herself as Jubilee’s hands wrapped around her entire torso. Jubilee could feel the soft stretching of Feyet’s body to accommodate her entire heavy pulsing cock. The muscles inside heritself ached, but she too wanted to keep going. Feyet’s rear pusheding into her, the tail feathers brushing like oiled silky pillows against her tits. SheFeyet constantly panteding, hoarse and worn out. FeyetShe could see the dull lust in her Feyet’s eyes as she looked back at Jubilee,. tThe sound of their hips meeting with both soft and loud plaps of flesh, scales, and feathers against each other. It was all intoxicating beyond anything that Jubilee could describe.

Feyet felt herself approaching the cliff again., Sshe had been here more times than she could even count. She felt the power within her, rising, every single time Jubileethey had brought her to her next peak, she had felt this strange pressure within her mind, build., Iit didn’t hurt, no, it was something different. ISlowly, it felt like a slow, heated fire within her and finally she would build up to the moment of climax.

Feyet’s body tensed again through screaming, aching muscles. Her toes dug into the soil under them once again. Her calves clenchedtensed almost to the point of a cramp. Those lovely heavy middle-aged thighs locked up,; only able to do one thing, press back into her mate. Her insides contorted and tensed, holding back her orgasm for as long as they could. She felt her nether muscles twisting and tensing tighter and tighter. Finally, she felt her eyes fully open, not slamming closed into the white oblivion or black abyss, no they were fully opened. 

She grabbed on to Jubilee’s hands as she held herself back and squeezed as hard as she could, gripping Jubilee’s hand but only able in this moment to wrap around a couple of fingers with each hand.

Jubilee felt how much tighter Feyet got, she felt how much harder those insides clamped down and refused to let her pull out. She felt herself edging to the cliff with Feyet, and now she sensed the point of no return within herself as well. Feyet’s rear met her hips one more time, and Jubilee tossed her head back, roaring in a roar to the heavens. Her eyes s were clampmed closed as Jubilee’s roared and her body froze and, locked up entirely unable to move as she buried that baby batter firehose into Feyet’s tight glorious ass.

Feyet felt her cumming, the shot of seed hit her insides with a white hot burning that removed her own burning need for another one. Feyet workednow had the need to get every single drop out of Jubilee and empty every capacity Jubilee had to do anything else except to cream her ass. Feyet’s body released when the second glob of seed fired into her,; a heavy thumb that knocked the air out of Feyet.

Her body was layered now in this visible aura that looked like a heatless flame around her made of purple soft waves. She screamed in silence, since her lungs were emptied by Jubilee dumping her load up her rear. eEvery muscle in her body spasmed over and over again. She watched Jubilee’s heaving breasts wiggle and jiggle against her tail feathers as Jubilee shuddttered again and again, pulling back just slightly to thrust right back into her.

There was nothing else more important than the pleasures of the flesh. The way her legs and body couldn’t move as her insides rippled with orgasmic relief again and again. She felt the release, and felt for a moment, that perhaps deities were real as she felt powerful and in control of nothing, and yet completely at peace with it. It was aThe kind of power where one simply can existed and enjoyed how it feels to be alive.

Jubilee felt herself body emptying and completely lost as soon as her orgasm stopped. S and she tried to move and, she collapsed into an ungraceful heap on the ground with a heavy thud. HIt was ungraceful and with a heavy thud, her lungs burned, her cock ached fromwith over use, even as she slid out of Feyet in one smooth motion and fired a wad of her creamy seed into the air. The spunk landeding squarely upon Feyet’s tailfeathers, and matting in them immediately.; Feyet’s mind noted it, welcomed it, and loved the idea that she would smell like Jubilee’s sex., Sshe would wear that stain on her feathers like all the others from tonight aswith a badge of honor.

SThis impact was a signal to Feyet’s mind, as she too fell, but she fell forward instead of back. Her body was spent, her mind was lost in the swirling abyss of pleasure and exhaustion hormones. Jubilee wondered’s mind  lost in wondering just what she agreed to when she took this mate. She looked down at her cock and reached over for her skirt, using it to clean her length with trembling hands. She felt Feyet placed a hand against hers.Feyet had slowly crawled over to her, she was laying her cheek against the thick girl dick that had just ravaged her over and over again. She turned her head, opened her beak and slid the length into her mouth. The foul taste required her to suppress her gag reflex to acceptexpel the length. She managed to get the whole thing length down her throat, only the worst of the sex cleaned from Jubilee before hand. She slowly slid down the length until she felt it against her collar bone from inside, how deep it was in her throat and then pushed past that point. Her lungs screamed for air as Feyet held her breath again.

Jubilee groaned both in pain and pleasure. Her mind loved the idea of Feyet cleaning her length, but her exhausted muscles and nearly broken length wanted her to stop. She reached up very cautiously and gently stroked Feyet’s jizz- matted plumage on her head, then cupped her cheeks with an unsteady quaking clawed hand. 

Jubilee lifted her away slightly and shook her head. as Feyet looked up to watch Jubilee’s reaction, with every fiber of her being wishing for Jubilee to enjoy this. “Feyet, enough. I take no more. Please, let me pull it out.” Feyet consciously nodded and let Jubilee agonizingly slowly lift her off the length of Jubilee’s pleasure stick. 

Immediately the length started to soften as it fell against Jubilee’s thigh. Feyet crawled up Jubilee’s torso. To her screaming arms and chest it was like scaling the tallest mountain. and you were coming up upon the peak, Eevery grip, every pull, every motion was earth shatteringly hard. Eventually, she pulled one more time and was to the point she could lay her head against Jubilee’s heart., Sshe laidy there with a sudden plop of her cheek against Jubilee’s rapidly rising and falling chest pillow. She lay there, ear against the scaled chest, where Jubilee’s feathers stopped,. She just lay there listening.

The fabric of the universe echoeding around her., Sshe could feel every living being within the village. She could sense at least five were outside the door. They were afraid to enter, worried what they might find, or perhaps they had been told by Spirit or Water to stay out. Either way, Feyet reached for her dirt and cum covered labcoat. Her own juices, Jubilee’s firehose- like climaxes, and the dirt of their mating covered it as she pulled it over herself and Jubilee to hide under it and act as a blanket, while putting the cloaking device right close enough to hide herself if needed.

Jubilee, for her part, loved the warmth they sharedof the two of them. For the first time in the last ten minutes, she finally opened her eyes fully. Her head slowly turned to look around. Her entire Yurt smelled of sex. Their footprints, hand prints, body impressions were all over the floor. Her cum was on the walls, a few hits were on the ceiling, and Feyet’s pussy juices had leaked out everywhere.

Feyet laidy there as the fire they had started was ebbing out, cool air was blowing in and Jubilee loved the feeling of how much curvier and warmer Feyet was compared to her. It felt so nice to have the smaller, vulnerable creature against her. It was better than Jubilee had ever hoped in a mate; one smaller than her and one that felt so silky soft when they touched. They did not speak further; they simply laid against each other, waiting for sleep to overtake them.

Feyet’s mind refused to completely relax in her haze, not until it sensed the small crowd outside had finally dispersed and walked away. She let out a sigh of relief as she finally closed her eyes and she sensed Jubilee still awake, barely. Feyet reached into her labcoat and pulled her canteen. She pressed a button to release a hyper compressed pellet and allow the canteen to fill with water.

The pellets were designed to contain about 1 liter of water in the size of a bead no larger than 0.2 centimeters. The atmosphere compressed around them once released would release the water into PSI 1 chamber of the canteen and fill it almost instantly. The dull thud confirmed it was filled and she brought the canteen straw to Jubilee’s lips. Normally she would use her beak or tilt her head back but Feyet wasn’t drinking from this, Jubilee was.

“Drink, it’s water.” Feyet managed through ragged exasperated words. “Clean water. You need it.”

Jubilee did not need to be told twice. She greedily gulped the canteen until it was empty, to which Feyet pressed the spring again, releasing a second pellet from the chamber and refilling it instantly and Jubilee continued to drink until Feyet pulled it away.

Jubilee started to growl that her cool watery refreshment had been taken away only to see Feyet had simply fallen asleep and the canteen was on the floor, leaking water into the packed dirt. Jubilee took a monumental effort to reach for the canteen and lifted it up to Feyet’s beak. She lightly tapped Feyet’s cheeks with some of the water that had spilled out.“Feyet drink too.” Feyet’s eyes fluttered a bit before halfway opening and she managed to take little sips in, bit by bit until she had gotten just enough water to wet her throat and tongue again. She took slower sips from the straw device that allowed her to use her beak easily to gulp down water bit by bit. Finally when her belly felt too full between the water and the load Jubilee had packed up her backdoor. She pushed the canteen away and put her head back onto Jubilee to pass out for the night.

For Jubilee’s part it brought her quite a bit of pain to see Feyet in such strained and bad shape. Though part of it was her fault and she took pride in all the pleasure she had given Feyet. Jubilee felt her chest rising and falling, the warmth of Feyet’s body against her, the safety of the labcoat over the two of them, no amount of hunger pains were going to keep her awake now. She simply laid back and felt herself fading into the sweet embrace of a dreamless sleep with her mate.

The ravaging they had given each other had both parties waking up in the wee hours of the morning, hungry and exhausted. Feyet panting against Jubilee’s chest, rubbing against her breasts which raised a question about the mammalian trait, as to how the creatures had such a trait without genetic engineering like the FjerFeij. 

I should ask about that…It is then that Feyet realizes the breasts she was going to ask about are rising and falling, pushing her own chest up and therefore moving her body with every moment. She looked down to blush deeply. That’s your mate! That would be rude right now! Feyet immediately started to move, causing Jubilee to roll over and grab onto her, pulling her down onto the ground. They hadn’t even made it to the pile of dried leaves and hides that Jubilee used for a bed, though it more resembled a nest. 

Jubilee woke up, her stomach growling at her and started to open her mouth as she sensed Feyet on top of her and her half-addled brain did not realize that wasn’t food. She stopped as Feyet stared down the dark cavernous maw in the moonlight lit room and felt herself lock up in fear at the row upon row of teeth. “Feyet, sorry, sleepy, hungry. We should eat.” Jubilee managed in a more cave woman accent than the last two days.

“Jubilee I have, ration packs in my backpack.” “Ration?” Jubilee looked at her confused as the two of their eyes adjusted to the darkness. The word was new and Feyet let out a sign.

“Food, like the food back in my lab but it’s made for travel and making here with just heat and water.” Feyet reached into her labcoat inner sleeve and pulled out a couple of envelopes from inside. She started to open them and slowly began to organize the contents. “You should get some water boiling if you can?” Feyet offered not knowing what she could do about such a thing.

Jubilee took a moment and nodded, reaching over to a clay pot that contained some stagnant water which she generally used for a late night drink. Feyet stopped her and shook her head. “No, that is likely toxic.”Jubilee stopped and looked confused, “Tox-ic?” Jubilee asked and Feyet realized the concept of germ theory was not one her mate would understand immediately.

Feyet nodded, she pulled out a folding cup and put some of the water inside. “There are things we cannot see that make us sick. Such as parasites in meat you eat or some other probably in seemingly safe water.” She pulled out a couple of tablets and dropped them into the water. “This will remove the toxic elements, now we can heat it and use it.”

Jubilee looked a little confused as the water foamed on its on for a few moments until it slowly bubbled to a stop and the water was calm once more, now clear enough to see through. Jubilee watched as Feyet put the metal cup over the fire pit and pulled out her laser pistol to ignite the tinder and embers there once again.

Within a few minutes the water was boiling. While that process was happening she opened the package and took our several smaller packages. There was one large main package that she pulled out and opened but did not pour its contents out. Instead she pulled the hot folding cup back with a pair of tongs the package provided and poured it into the one she opened. Within moments the room filled with the smell of freshly cooked food and spices. Jubilee looked confused as Feyet offered the small container to her.

Well small for Jubilee but it was quite large in Feyet’s hand. Jubilee carefully took it and sniffed at the package. “Go on, it might be a bit rich or complex but you’ll like it.” Jubilee sniffed at the package. Something smelled pungent but rich in a way that was welcoming. There was the scent of sweetness as well mixed with the smell of meat. She had no idea what this concoction was as Feyet put the cup back over the fire to heat and prepare her own. 

She opened several of the smaller packages and just before Jubilee tossed her head back to empty the pack, Feyet offered her a small strange flexible tool. It had a set of points on one end with a wide flat piece that led into something similar to the stylist to hold it with a rounded end. Jubilee looked confused at Feyet and then Feyet realized that Jubilee hadn’t eaten with a fork before.

Feyet motioned for Jubilee to wait and got her own food ready then showed it to Jubilee. She had something that smelled of cooked bird, sweet but aged milk, and the same heavy pundit but savory smell as Jubilee’s. Feyet pressed the fork in to get a piece and then put it in her beak and tossed it back. “We eat with these to make less mess and less waste. It’s also really hot.” Feyet immediately pulled out her canteen, as she spoke with huffing from the slight burning of her tongue. Feyet enjoyed the taste of Terran chicken, every single time she had it. The ten years of embargo between the Fjer and Humans was not something she welcomed. Not only for the lack of scientific exchange but damn was Terran chicken just that good.

Jubilee followed suit, the fork felt foreign in her hand, made of some material she did not understand. She pulled it up to her lips and sniffed the folds of beige stringy flat bits that reminded her of strips of jerky as well as the dark blood colored fluid and hundreds of tiny black balls that were over there. She pushed it into her mouth and let out a hiss from the heat but the flavor was unlike anything she had ever experienced.

Jubilee’s eyes grew wide and she stared at Feyet as if her world had come to a crashing halt. For the first time she was willingly eating something that wasn’t based entirely upon meat. It tasted so good, it melted on her tongue, no need for chewing or tearing, it simply disintegrated and filled her mouth with flavor.

To Feyet it was a simple pre-packaged meal ready to be eaten quickly and safely. To Jubilee it was just as revolutionary as the recessor. Jubilee stabbed the tool into the package over and over again, grabbing another bit every time, rapidly emptying the package. She immediately reached for another one of the sealed packages and started to open it. The object inside resembled a clay brick with a texture and color of dried poop. Feyet reached up to stop her but Jubilee already put the bar into her mouth and bit down. Feyet looked at Horror for she did not know for certain if Chocolate was poisonous or not to Jubilee. It probably was! Without generic modification it was poisonous to the Fjer as well. She watched and waited as Jubilee looked at her, hesitant to move from the frantic position as she waited to see if her lover had just risked death.

“That’s Chocolate, it’s made from a plant and we had to change ourselves to be able to eat it. It’s really poisonous to most organisms.” Feyet immediately realized that Jubilee would not understand the word organism. “An organism is what you and I are or the animals you eat or the plants or well anything that is alive.” Feyet explained, hoping to distract Jubilee.

“You eat poison!” Jubilee let out a series of coughs trying to eject the bar of chocolate from her stomach. Feyet placed her hand on Jubilee’s shoulder and shook her head.

“No, no, it’s likely already melted. There is little chance you’ll get it all out.” Feyet thought for a few moments and pulled out her small medical kit. She quickly looked through it and pulled out her set of anti-toxins. One was for stimulants, like caffeine, another was for neurotoxin, and another still for paralytic problems. She selected the one best associated with chocolate, an anti-vascular relaxant and something to counteract the caffeine. 

There was a soft pause between them as Feyet held up the two small pills. One was white, one a soft blue. Jubilee looked very confused by the two objects. Feyet had to figure out the right words and time was against her. She had to convince Jubilee to take both of these and the sooner the better.

“Medicine. It will counter the effects of the chocolate but it will make you sleepy. Okay?” Feyet tried to hold the pills close to Jubilee who gave her a whimsical look at the chalk like pieces.“Your medicine look strange.” Jubile replied with a note of concern.

“Yes and it tastes worse so swallow the whole thing without tasting it preferably.” Feyet replied hoping that every word was something Jubilee understood. Jubilee reached forward and took one of the pills from her. She gingerly pressed the pills up to Jubilee’s lips and waited. She had no idea if the anti-toxins would work or not. What she did know, was that if she did nothing the chocolate would either be incredibly uncomfortable and probably lethal.

Jubilee hesitantly opened her maw and allowed FEyet to place the pills on her tongue. The tactile sense of feeling Jubilee’s tongue on Feyet’s hand was not an unwelcome one at all. HEY! Not right now! Life and death situation, no horny you silly old bird! Feyet had to think to herself as she pulled her hand back reluctantly after relishing in the feeling of the tongue upon her finger. She slowly pulled it away and quickly followed it up with some of the purified water that was still cold.

“Drink, swallow the medicine whole.” Jubilee put the water up and took a long gulp of the offered water. There was a pause and the two of them stared at each other nervously. The tension began to fill the air until Feyet was certain she could cut it with a knife. 

Feyet felt her beak getting dry, her eyes stared at Jubilee rarely blinking as she expected the worst. Her heart pounded, her mind raced with possibilities. The two of them stayed there.

Jubilee felt her heart accelerating, her mind fogged with fatigue. Her muscles tensed as if she were about to spring an attack. They waited for several minutes. Time seemed to stretch out forever as the two stared at each other.

Jubilee’s stomach growled and they both looked down at it with dread. Then Jubilee let out the loudest longest and quite possibly most gross burp that Feyet had ever heard. The two of them stared at each other and then burst into laughter. 

The laughing echoed outside of their shared yurt into the village, an allosaurus shouted for them to keep it down. Feyet let herself down to a giggle as the two of them relaxed. “Okay, if you were poisoned, we would know by now. Let’s not do that again, let me offer the food first and make sure you can eat it okay?”

Jubilee nodded with enthusiasm and they resumed eating the rest of the MRE. Once they were both stuffed with enough calories to fill a Fjer for an entire day, which to Jubilee was more just a single meal, Feyet curled up against Jubilee on the nest in the yurt. It was drastically less comfortable than her bed back in the lab, but that didn’t have Jubilee in it and that made it all the better.

Jubilee was a little uncomfortable now that they were both calmer. Feyet was incredibly warm to the touch and the feathers provided far more insulating than what Jubilee was used to even in the colder season. However, neither of them at the end of the day wished to move away. The world faded from existence once more to sweet soft dreamless sleep.

Jubilee was up first, her body had recovered much better than Feyet’s and honestly, uladon’s required a lot less sleep than Fjer did. Jubilee was also standing guard at the entrance to let Feyet sleep, she wanted to make sure the worn out smaller mate would be able to hide herself before anyone else from the village came inside.

Long after the first hunters were heading out, Feyet stirred. She slowly got up. Her body hurt in places she didn’t know she had until now. Joint popped and cracked to life as she started to get up. Jubilee snickered at her, “You sound like an elder with snappy bones.” Feyet gave her a glare that made Jubilee hide from her gaze while still stifling the snicker.

“Just because I am older than you, doesn’t make me an elder.”Jubilee tilted her head, “Older?”

Feyet nodded, “How many…” Feyet searched for their reference for the passage of time and couldn’t quite find it.

“I am 44 river swells.” Jubilee replied confidently.

Feyet realized they counted the first swell of the river during the monsoon as their marker of time. They also had two and a half monsoon seasons per year. That put Jubilee at just over 18 standard galactic years. Though for a Fjer that would put her at 27. For a terran that would put her at 22. 

“I am 81 river swells.” Feyet replied begrudgingly which caused Jubilee’s jaw to go slack with surprise. “Yeah, I’m almost twice your age.”

Jubilee blinked a few times and tilted her head, “Why you wait so long?”“So long for what?”“To take, mate.” Jubilee was confused by this as she waited for an answer.

“No one else interested me, and to be fair.” Feyet hesitated as she remembered how much her side still ached and how she had agitated it by all the wild sex they had been having. She moved her hand to the still black and red skin under her feathers. “You literally had to try to kill me to get my attention.”

Jubilee felt awful by the comment and started to reach for Feyet who was smiling and shook her head with a soft chuckle. “No, that was a joke Jubilee.” Feyet got up and for a brief moment did not mind that she was naked. She walked across to Jubilee and leaned up to pinch her neck with her beak in an aspect of a kiss.

“That was not… wait… you find that funny?” Jubilee sputtered and stumbled through her words as Feyet nodded with a grin.

“Yes, in retrospect it is nice to make fun of mistakes or past transgressions, it shows we have…” Feyet was trying to find the right words and took a breath as she realized half of her sentence would be incomprehensible with Jubilee and she had forgotten herself.

Jubilee merely looked at her with a titled head and quimsical stare as she did not understand half of the words spoken much less their meaning. Feyet cleared her throat from having forgotten herself. “Right, it ensures we understand no anger is held towards each other from past problems.” Feyet managed to simplify her sentences as much as possible. “By laughing at it now, it means I bear no anger and instead find it quite funny that we could have avoided all that.”

Jubilee blinked a few times and nodded after a moment, “The Fjer are strange but I do not hate it, I like how you look upon our first meeting now.”

Feyet now realized she was nude and her face flushed as she scrambled back to get her armored suit back on and labcoat. With a quickness she managed to get herself dressed. “Sorry! I should have put this on in case someone walked in!” Jubilee nervously glanced over her shoulder and could tell there were others standing outside of her tent, waiting by the shadows across the hides that acted as a privacy screen.

Feyet quickly got herself dressed and turned on the cloak. It was presently near full charge despite the last few days' events. Jubilee nodded to where she was standing when Feyet vanished as the electrical field stabilized and there was no sign of her at all except a soft shimmer when she shifted or moved. Jubilee would make a mental note to keep track of her only for Feyet to place a hand against her tail.

Feyet removed the sound cloaking for a moment, “My Jubilee, I am here.” Feyet whispered as Jubilee opened the tent to see seven rather angry faces all looking at her.

“Scratches what w… wait, you’re not Scratches anymore.” The first one started and the others looked even more confused.

“We heard chirping like bird, laughter like hatchlings, and you have new name, as if you took mate, explain!” The second one stepped forward. He was a very big boy. Feyet noted he was an Udalon of the 4th sex, one who exhibited limited secondary characteristics but had female reproductive anatomy. Though the entire village treated and called them males for most purposes. Feyet had noted one of the reasons for her research was the tribe’s treatment of androgyny and other variations of gender, sex, and expression therein. This one was Foxtrot-7 in her database.  Foxtrot was used to indicate Female sexed male expressed individuals as a joke by her scientist team. Calling them Femme Bois or Butch Bois in private as a lab joke. One she would not date to utter here in their presence.

Feyet quickly looked at her notes, this one was called, “Slams the Trees.” Apparently because they preferred to hit with a fist or kick with their heels instead of their claws and they could knock down trees if they just a few times.

Jubilee however, Feyet noticed, was blushing. She was actually flushed. Feyet stared as Jubilee stuttered when she started to reply, “I have a mate.” Jubilee finally managed through her jilted teeth.

“What!?” three of them burst in unison. The look of disbelief across their scaled faces as they tried to ascertain what was just said.

“Jubilee, no, you are not full hunter yet, that cannot—”

“No, it is true but Water has asked I not to speak about who. It is past time to go hunting, I must be moving.” Feyet immediately realized that Jubilee was using the language she would use to speak to her. Language that was even more complex than that of Wind and Water would ever use. It was more complex than Spirit would even use. 

Jubilee used her tail to push Feyet aside as she swung it with intent to move towards everyone else. Jubilee turned head just enough to use her eyes to signal Feyet to get moving. Feyet did not know what Jubilee was getting at, they had not discussed where to meet or what was going to happen. Feyet felt her heart sink as Slams pushed forward and pressed into Jubilee’s chest.

“Liar! Water n—” He was immediately cowed by the new Water barking loudly, loud enough that even those not involved would pay attention.

“Do you defy new Water?” Water called as Feyet felt something against her mind.

“Know not where you are but sense you here. Begone, will send Jubilee to you before sundown.”

Feyet scrambled away, checking her feet to make sure she was talking on the dry earth to leave as little trace of herself as possible, making her way out of the village. She was lucky she had eaten the MRE last night, she wasn’t hungry yet but she could sense she needed to relieve herself soon. Running would keep that at bay for just a little bit.

Feyet managed to get out of the village and pulled out her PAD to give her directions back to her lab. At least this way she would also be able to send her write and send her report without further issue.

Water on the other hand had shoved herself between Jubilee and the group of larger more assertive hunters. Two of them had slipped away and dispersed, tails not swaying as they were quite cowed in the same way a dog would put its tail between its legs though theirs were much more stiff. “Is this true, Water? That we do not know why you call her Shimmer Heart’s Jubilee? That is a hatchling story is it not?”“What last Water’s name before Spirit of Water?” Water asked them as they all looked at each other and many shrugged as they did not know nor could they picture it in their mind.

“Chases the Shimmer. Shimmerwalker is no fairy tail. However, Jubilee’s mate wishes to stay hidden for now, Water and Wind agree, we respect. Chases the Shimmer asked me to keep Shimmer Heart’s Jubilee’s mate safe with their last breath.” There was a murmur from the gathering crowd now as they heard that and the commotion had attracted everyone who was not actively out hunting right now.

Jubilee knew what Water was saying. A death bed request was sacred and if you agreed to it, it would bind you to fulfill it for life. “So cannot know because gave last breaths? Make sense!” Slams demanded as if they were owned an answer.

“Knowing Jubilee mate would make tJubilee mate vulnerable to someone in the tribe who would be upset. So no, may NOT know. Now, begone, all!” Water declared with a burst of psychic energy to emphasize the point. Though weaker than her predecessor, it was enough use of her voice and will upon everyone to get them to disperse and move on with their day.

Feyet got back, showered immediately and cleaned herself thoroughly with a preening as she finally organized her thoughts and feathers. She began to write a report. She was going to leave out HUGE amounts of it and she knew she was lying to her bosses. She was lying to protect Jubilee and she spent all day describing events but finding elaborate ways to either conceive of a lie about what she witnessed or how she felt or the fact that she could now see slightly beyond the veil when she looked around. The walls didn’t give anything but she could see the lifesigns of insects and vole-creatures just beyond the walls.

She could see the extension of her own soul around her. How am I going to hide this from scanners? How am I going to get Jubilee off this world? I can’t keep this up forever. Her attention was called to the beeping of her monitor transmitting a call. She reached over and pressed it on.

“Feyet, where have you been?” Hija snapped as the video call cut on. She had expected Feyet to be disheveled and frantic only for her to be sitting there, upright, well groomed, and dressed.

“Apologies, Commander Hija. I am doing well.” Feyet began as she looked at the dark brown with long bright red stripes across their body that led to the collar of Hija’s uniform. “I was stuck out in the field all night due to the larger predators near the entrance to my field lab. I felt it better to NOT attempt to open the door and have such large creatures investigating or hanging around my domicile than to get back inside.”

Hija took a moment and looked at her PAD looking up a report on the planet. “I thought the small venomous predators were out at night there. Are you sure you do not need additional personnel or a security detail?”“I assure you Hija, the cloak is working just fine and the predator was sleeping almost up against the entrance. I could see no way of getting past said predator and opening the door without awakening it. I believe they are referred to as a Taruoseventasaurus because of the Terran discoverers and the relation to their Tarus or bull creature and twin horns but also a native creature from their distant past called a Carnosaurus.” Feyet explained herself in fine detail with absolute calm. She had a mask up, a well practiced one and this one would keep Hija at a distance while she worked through this call.

“I am sure you have much more important things to do, my report will follow within an hour. Would this be acceptable?” Hija wasn’t sure if Feyet was trying to insult her and simply blow her off but there was nothing she could do about it. Feyet was right, a naval commander would have better things to do, especially this close to the Fjer border. The Terrans and Fjer may be at peace but that did not stop the need for patrols both for show of force and to keep piracy at bay.

“Very well, your report on my desk and your fellow bookwyrms within the next two hours.” Feyet nodded and ended the call without any further etiquette or discussion.

“I really do hate that woman.” Feyet said with a sigh as she resumed her report.

Jubilee had spent her day with her mind in the clouds. Instead of going hunting, she had spent the day straightening up her hut as well as sharing the remnants of her MRE with Water, the parts that they could determine were still safe to eat. Once they were finished they had buried the wrappers down several claws in the dirt, about a full meter, to ensure no one would find them.

Jubilee made her way to Feyet’s lab, her feet light, her heart pounding with excitement and her eyes not paying full attention. Someone was following her. Someone who firmly believed she should not be a hunter, she was too small and should have been a gatherer to be taken by a hunter. He would love to see her fall or be rejected as a hunter. Hearing she had a mate that he could not know whom was the last straw.

Brute of Brutes was surprised that Jubilee had not noticed him. They were approaching the top of a hill, he could see the village from here and they had been walking for nearly an hour. Jubilee was outside the village, from here, neither would be able to return before sundown, that meant the poison fangs would be out. He snarled wondering what her plan was as she approached the rock.

The rock opened!

THE ROCK OPENED!

He watched as a shining light came from the other side, a silhouette of a smaller creature with a long beak and a thin neck that walked upright. The two of them embraced. They were hugging! What was this creature!?

Jubilee walked inside with her as the rock started to close and seal behind them. Who was moving the rock? It didn’t matter! Brute would expose this for the whole village to see that Jubilee was unfit. He rushed forward and managed to catch the rock just before it close only for the rock to start to move back on it’s on as he looked in awe at the grey sheen of the hard rock tiles on the floor, the soft white and blue hues of the same perfectly smooth and flat rocks on the walls.

Brute had found his way into a place he would never understand, no matter who tried to help him do so.
