						DOVE OF HARMONY

						Part Six

						By Arthur



Authors Note:

This chapter is dedicated to the submissive slave "Seraph" for his loyalty,
obedience and honour to his Master and for the sense of duty and respect he
has also shown myself.

"May the Dove of Mythra preserve your house and all who reside therein"

"Only by self sacrifice can we show true loyalty to our cause" (Leonidas)

The site for The House of Mythra is now under developement and will be
advertised here when it is ready to go online, I hope that it will be able
to answer many questions that have arisen from this story when it is
available.


I opened my eyes to a bright beam of winter sunshine flashing through the
curtains and felt a soft hand on mine and a pair of tender lips on my
forehead.

"Afternoon Master."

"Afternoon? you sure my little dove?"

"Yes master it's past midday."

"oh ok then I've only been asleep a couple of hours, it feels like I've
slept for days."

"Well one day anyway, Master"

"One day?"

"Yes you came home yesterday and after helping me you came here and have
been asleep since, Master."

"Oh damn have I, and whats all this formality?"

"I thought I'd lost you and I want to make up for it incase something ever
happened to you."

Turning to my boy I saw he was dressed in his best leathers still, the red
showing up his natural skin colour and the now slightly more mature body
under them.

"Have you been in those leathers all the time?"

"Yes, I asked Master Greg to lock them on and hold the key until you came
back to me."

"So what would have happened if I didnt come back?"

"This is how I would have stayed to honour and remember you."

"For the rest of your life?"

"Yes but I don't think it would have been for long."

"What do you mean Eric?"

"James if you'd died in the hospital I know I wouldn't want to go on
without being by your side."

"Eric...my little dove...I'm a lot older than you and my time will come
well before yours does, I wouldn't expect you to give everything up when it
does."

"I know James, but I couldn't go on without you."

"Yes you could Kiddo, there's a hundered Masters out there would sacrifice
everything they have to take you in."

"I know but they aren't you and you're the only one that I want to be
with."

"Ok lets leave it for now kiddo but I think we should talk about it again
later, now what are we going to do?"

"I've got hot coffee waiting for you and there's some snacks as well so you
stay there and I'll get them so you can have brunch in bed, oh and there's
a message from Master Nigel."

"Oh ok what is it?"

"He rang this morning asking after you and said that he and Master Steven
will call around tonight if you're feeling up to it."

"Good ok I think I'll be ok, now that coffee sounds good."

Eric leaned forward to kiss my head again and I reached out and took him by
the arms and pulled him closer for a proper kiss and the biggest hug I
could find the strength for.

"Thank you my little Dove, I love you."

A smile came over his youthful face and the worry lines disappeared from
his brow.

"I love you my Master James."

"Coffee boy, now?" (Chuckle)

"Yes Master James....but I still love you." (Giggle)

I finally rose at 2.00pm and had a shower and dressed in comfortable
clothes, Eric continued to fuss over me and I had at last to threaten to
chain him to the bed and leave him there but he only got that pleading look
on his face and said.

"Please Master"(Giggle)

"Get out of here Imp, I haven't even got the strength to paddle you at the
moment."(Chuckle)

"Oh Master James you're no fun since you got out of bed." (Giggle)

The day progressed in the same manner, my little Dove wouldn't leave me
alone for more than a minute or two but at last the front door bell rang to
announce my guests and Eric jumped up and with a kiss blown to me by those
red lips he went to let Nigel and Steven in.

"Well James how do you feel?"

Nigel was not one to stand on formalities at a time like this, Eric had
taken his place beside my chair so I reached over to him and pulled him
closer so he could rest his head on my knee.

"Fine Nigel, this one won't let me breath with out holding my hand."

"Good for him, you gave us all a hell of a shock."

"I'm ok now, just have to take it easy for a bit, now what's all this
about?"

"The tribunal is tomorrow night, we want you to take the chair, the rest of
us will be there of course but we feel it is your turn to hand this one
out."

"What have the others decided for punishment?"

"It's all down here but we want you're agreement on the last part, that has
to be unanimous."

I took the paper and read down the list of penalties and then looked up
sharply at Nigel and Steven when I saw the last one.

"Why this Nigel?"

"He tried to kill Mythras Child, thats the penalty we found in the book for
that type of offense."

"I can understand that but isn't this a bit severe?"

"We all talked it over James and we all agreed it's the only way, but if
you think it's to much for what he did and as he isn't of the Society then
we will accept your veto."

"Don't you think I would be biased, after all Eric is mine."

"No James, we know you'll do what you think is right reguardless."

"I have to think this one over Nigel, I agree to chair the tribunal
tomorrow and I'll give my decision then, is that ok?"

"Thats fine James, we want you to be absolutely certain that it's right for
him."

"Thanks Nigel, have you two eaten yet?"

"No, we were going to go to a restaurant after we saw you."

"Not on your life, this little boy of mine cooks like a top chef so you
stay here and keep me company for a while, Eric can you get some drinks and
then see what you can rustle up for dinner for us."

Eric lifted his head from my knee and smiling got up and fetched drinks for
us then disappeared into the kitchen to ready dinner.

"He looks so beautiful in those red leathers James."

"Yes Steven they suit him down to the ground."

"Yes he truly is one of a kind and the way he wouldn't leave your side the
whole time you were in hospital, did you know he sat all the first night
and most of the next day without eating or drinking just in case you needed
him."

"No he didn't say a word."

"Greg damn near had to force feed him in the end, that boy is one
determined and loyal slave."

"Yes I have to agree, now then how is that guy doing?"

"Gregs got him in restraint and caged he won't be going anywhere until
we're ready to let him."

"You think three months will be enough?"

"If you decide to go with the last penalty I'm sure it will be."

"Hmmm ok, what about his disappearance, has that caused a storm?"

"Funny that, nothings been seen in the news or the papers, I think the
S.I.S. has washed their hands of him and he's on his own from now on so I
think we have free reign with him."

"Ok well I don't think he deserves any real considerations as it is, how is
Daniel?"

"He's safe with Brian, evidently he's asked Brian if he will take him and
train him."

"Has Brian taken him through the first of the Mythra yet?"

"Funny that, the boy asked if he could talk to Eric first, said he wanted
to do it at the tribunal for some reason."

"Hmmm, funny, oh well lets see what he wants he certainly has become
attached to Brian though."

"Yeah sure has and they make a nice couple together as well."

"Yes they look good together."

Just then Eric told us dinner was ready and we rose to go to the table he'd
set for us.

Dinner as usual was just like my little Dove, Perfect, the converstaion was
good and a lot of laughter about better times kept us ammused but in the
back of my mind was the worry over the use of the last penalty.

The next afternoon i gave Eric the car keys to drive us over the hill to
Gregs home for the tribunal hearing, Eric had at last under my insistance
changed out of his red leathers and was now dressed in a more formal
looking black set with the long trousers, the tiredness had gone from his
eyes even though we had made a long day of it the previous night.

My little doves appetite for sex had not lessened as he became more
restricted in his bondage but had been held in check by sheer will power on
his part until we determinde to have a night like the last one.His
beautiful slim taut body was still a delight to slide into and the
abandonment with which he threw himself into the act was always like the
first time.

Eric would not let me mount him but insisted I lay down on my back and let
him do all the work, read play. It was so erotic to watch him lower himself
down onto my rod until his golden globes settled on my groin as I felt the
heat of his still tight hole surround me. He made sure he took his time and
would lift right to the top so that I was barely inside him then lower
himself so slowly that the act had him sweating with exertion after only a
few minutes. He kept it up for fourty minutes before I could hold back no
longer and as I filled him from the inside he began to hum in his chest and
then was spraying my chest with his hot cum as he jerked his head back and
forth in extascy.

I looked over at my boy as we pulled into Gregs driveway and had to smile
as a twitch of desire rose again at the thought of last nights
escapades. The others were already in the main room when we walked in, Greg
indicated the chair at the head of the table for me and as I sat down Eric
took his position beside me on the floor.

The other Primes were seated around the table and the only other boy apart
from Eric and Lim was Daniel who sat as close to Brian as he could get
without being in the same chair. I took a last look around the table and
with a nod at them all I started the tribunal.

"Master of the Rod, you have the offender?"

"Yes Prime Master."

"Bring him before the tribunal Master."

Greg left the room and returned a minute later with the man shackled hand
and foot with short chains as well as blindfolded and gagged, he stopped
the man in the center of the room to stand five feet from the front of the
table where we sat.

Because he was not a memeber of the society we would only use the terms of
Master or Boy in his presence so that he would not know who or what we were
apart from what I told him.

"Master is this the scum?"

"This is him Master."

"Scum this is not a trial, you are already guilty on the evidence we have,
you have no defense and there wil be no reprieve or parole from our
decision. You are here today, scum, to be told your penalty for your abuse
and other crimes against people that are under the protection of this
Society."

I took a close look at him as he stood there, he was of course unwashed but
i could still see a lot of small scars that had been on his skin for a long
time, he had at one time been a sub himself to someone who had taken a
great delight in hurting him. this was no excuse for his behaviour with the
two boys but it told me he was not really frightened by being disciplined
with anything that would hurt him.

He was about 50 or late 40's, slightly out of shape with a small bulge
around the waist. he was well covered in course dark hair and his small
foreskinned penis was laying on a set of very low hanging testicles, they
looked as though they had at one time been well stretched.

"Now scum, we have investigated you and your back ground, we know who you
are and where you came from, do not expect to be saved by the S.I.S.,
they've washed their hands of you, you scum belong to us."

He made no movement or indication he was even bothered by the statement,
his attitude was going a long way to making up my mind about the last
penalty. He remained unmoved and even seemed to not care and definately
showed no sign of remorse for his actions.

His next action was the one that made up my mind for me on the last
penalty, as I watched him he tried to smile or sneer around the ball gag in
his mouth, to me he was saying he couldn't care less what we did or
thought.

"Scum, your crimes and penalties are as follows."

"For the coersion and kidnapping of a defenseless boy you will be confined
for 90 days, also you will receive 10 by 10 quarterly of the Bastanado."

The Bastanado was a five foot Rattan Cane split length wise and rebound in
an octagonal cylinder about 2" in diameter, it was leather bound for the
first two feet and then each foot after that was a leather thong to hold it
together to the end.  The last three feet of the cane was not glued and the
effect of it pinching the skin as it struck could take slices from the
subject.

10 by 10 quarterly was to indicate that he would get the 10 strokes split
up into four places on his body each day so that he was being beaten each
day but on a different part, this time it would be the sole of one foot the
first day and the other sole the next day then each buttock in turn and on
the fifth day returning to the first foot until the 90 days of punishment
were over.

"For the physical and mental abuse of a defenseless boy you will receive 10
strokes or the eight clawed cat with lead every second day on any part of
your body the Master decides."

There was still no reaction from him as he stood there almost showing
contempt at the penalties.

"For using excessive force in restraint of a defenseless boy you will be
held in total restraint at all times except when receiving other
punishment."

Total restrain meant he was to be chained in a position of total imobility
in any configuration that Greg decided on.

"For the rape and use of tools far beyond the capability of the boy to
accept you will when not under other punishment be held incomunicado in the
Iron Maiden and will at all time have inserted in you a metal plug that
will be selected by the Master."

Still no reaction from the man before us, this made my mind up for me on
what had to be done for the last charge. I looked over to Brian and Daniel
and directed my next remarks to them.

"Boy, you were this mans victim, by the rules of our Society I offer you
the first ten strokes of the Bastanado, do you accept?"

Daniel looked nervously down at his feet, his hands were wringing together
as he tried to find the courage to speak out. At last Daniel looked up at
Brian and leaning over he whispered to him, Brian nodded his head then
lokoed up at me.

"Master this boy is to terrified to go near the Scum before us, he has
asked that I stand for him, to this end I agree to give the first ten
strokes on this boy's behalf should the tribunal agree."

I didn't ned to lok at the others, this was a forgoone conclusion.

"Master the tribunal agrees on you standing for the boy."

I turned back to the man as he stood his ground in an attitude of contempt
for our tribunal.

"Scum while this boy was not a memeber of our society he never the less
asked for our help, the penalties you have received are for your abuse of
this boy, there is however a matter of your attempted murder of a very
valuable member of this society and this is one act that we cannot let you
off with so lightly. It is the order of this tribunal that for the
attempted murder of a memeber of this Society, on the ninetieth day, being
the last day of your punishment for abuse and rape of a non member of this
Society, that you will have both testicles surgically removed, you will be
held in restraint for a further five days and then released in the city
naked so that all can see what you are."

I watched as the words sank into his brain, I felt nothing for him, he
didn't deserve any consideration by any of us after what he had tried to do
to the two boys. At last he understood and with a muffled cry he collasped
onto the floor trying to find some way to get out of the chains that held
him.

"Master take this scum away and get him ready for his first strokes."

Greg reached down one large hand and effortlessly lifted the now cringing
man to his feet and dragged him forcefully out of the room. There was no
reaction from anyone in the room apart from a stunned look on Daniels face.

"Daniel, try to forget him and just remember that we protect our boys any
way we can, don't feel pity for scum like that he's not worth it."

Daniel numbly tried to nod his head at my words but I could see he was
shocked at how far we would go to protect our boys.

"Now Daniel I believe you wish to ask Mythras Child a question?"

Daniel lowered his head and then stood up and came to stand in front of
Eric, then he slowly lowered himself to his knees and taking up the second
position facing Eric he began.

"Child of Mythra, you saved my life and showed me another way, with your
Masters permission I would ask you stand with me so that I may be bonded to
Master Brian as his submissive slave and shown the way of the Mythra."

Erics mouth popped open at the words and then he rose to his feet and came
to stand in front of me, with a smoothness born of practise he went into
the third position before me.

"My Master, your slave humbly requests to be allowed to go with his friend
and witness his bonding."

"Boy you may go with him and be his witness, Master Brian when is the boy
to be bonded?"

"Prime Master he is to be bonded this very day here in this house."

"Master Brian that seems very convenient?"

"Ah Prime Master, it seemed a good time."

Brian smiled at the small gibe.

"Well Master I would say that we would all like to stand and witness this
boy's bonding, we're sure he will make you proud."

"Yes Prime Master I'm sure he will."

"Well Masters lets see if Greg has something for us to eat while we wait
for hi to get that scum ready."

lim had some how disappeared while we were talking with Brian but seconds
later he was back with a tray of snacks on top of Gregs drinks trolley, we
didnt need any urging to start and when Greg joined us I asked him if he
knew about Brian and Daniel.

"Oh yes I knew about that ages ago, thought we might bond the boy before
Brian gives that asshole his first ten, be like a present to them."

I looked across to where Brian sat with Daniel sitting in the floor between
his legs with his head resting back into Brians crotch, his eyes staring up
into Brians face in adoration.

"Think they will make it James."

"Yep sure do Greg."

Eric settled between my kness the same as Daniel and as I stroked his hair
he smiled and blew a small kiss up at me, Greg had lifted Lim bodily into
his arms and was caressing his jet black hair as Lim snuggled in close.

This day had started out as one of darkness and was goning to end with a
little something for everyone including the scum waiting out in Greg's
playroom, although i dont think he was going to ejoy it as much as the rest
of us.
