It includes sex between boys and men in a graphic manner. Also, it includes a humourous fight scene, trolls, centaurs and lots and lots of goo, in both senses of the word. The same rules from the prologue apply to this chapter. Reviews will be cherished at cemshyte@gmail.com Act I, Scene I The Magic Flute or The Artist's First Story We woke up with a torrent of profanities from Serjo. Beams of powder blue light came from the mouth of the cave. "Curses, blast! Damned winter!" he cried. "What's with all the damned racket?" asked Prince Jering, yawning and stretching. "My Prince, and everyone else," he said, obviously trying not to curse. "We're trapped." "Trapped?" asked the Alchemist. "What do you mean trapped?" "The mouth of the cave is covered with DAMNED boulders of DAMNED ice." "What?!" We murmured and slowly approached the blockade. It was a huge wall of ice, so thick that it had became near-opaque, with light piercing with a blue tint through where it was slightly thinner. Raccoon, the Bounty Hunter tapped the ice with his dagger. "Froz'n solid," he said. "I doubt if we got 'nuff of 'em torches to melt it `n' all." "Perhaps my magic can melt it," said Potash, the Alchemist. He approached the glacial wall and muttered words, calmer than the ones he muttered yesterday night. A tranquil flame, like an enlarged version of a candle light, came to life in his open hand. He brought it near the ice, held it there for a moment. Nothing seemed to be happening. "I need the sun to gain energy. I can't ignite it strong enough without the Sun." "And it's also winter," I added. "The sun was at its weakest just two days ago." Everyone turned to look at me with enlarged eyes. Potash was the one who was most surprised. "Interesting," said Potash. "Stetton, was it?" I nodded. "The course books don't have that information. How do you know that?" "Deduction," I replied. The Alchemist seemed impressed. "You're going to make a great alchemist one day," he said. "If we can get out of this damned cave, that is," shouted the Soldier and kicked the glass-like wall. "What's your take on the Shamanist Approach?" asked Potash, his curiosity piqued. "Well, I ag-" I started. "Enough about academics!" shouted Dr. Kolf. "We have to find a way out!" "This is all your fault, Serjo!" said Jering, the spoilt brat. "Naw, it ain't his fault!" said Feddle, the Farmer, whom hadn't spoken much. "It ain't no-one's fault!" "Yeah, right... And what would a farmer know?" Then, the whole group burst into a verbal fight with people hollering and insults flying around when suddenly, out of nowhere, came a deep, booming voice: "SILENCE!" We turned around to see who had said it was Djanmer, the Artist, who had, apparently, taken on an authoritarian persona. "Now," he continued. "We obviously cannot get out of this cave and we don't have enough food supplies, do we? Last night, I saw a little passageway leading deeper into the mountain. If no-one else has a better plan, we'll see where that will lead us. Bring out the torches," he said to Serjo. Serjo, surprised by this new behaviour, took four torches out of his bag. The Alchemist used the fire to light the torches. The cave was illuminated by the orange light, throwing shadows of stalagmites on the walls. The passage Djanmer had mentioned became visible. "There," said Djanmer. "We don't know where it leads," said the Raccoon. "But anything's better `n waiting `ere." "It's still snowing outside," said Potash, looking at a strange machine, which, as I later found out, was a barometer. "How's your arm, Serjo?" asked Dr. Kolf. "Stopped hurting." Serjo replied and he extended his bandaged arm. Dr. Kolf sniffed it and said: "No sign of festering. That's good. Let's hope the wolf wasn't rabid." We became hushed at Chengell Kolf's brash honesty. "Okay then," said Djanmer, after a while. "Pack your stuff, everyone and we'll go exploring." I took the two wolf pelts, Serjo handed out the torches to the others. People took their bags and we slowly made our way through the long, narrow passage. Serjo and the Raccoon had realised that they had met before during a siege and were getting along well. Djanmer was speaking to Potash about philosophy and Dr. Kolf was answering medical questions about cows. The Prince, who was walking behind me, had remained silent and he was possibly cursing fate for this situation. He was also shivering violently. I realised that he was dressed too lightly for this kind of weather. I suddenly felt pity for him and I was angry at myself for blaming him for being arrogant. "Are you cold, my prince?" I asked him. He looked at me with enmity in his eyes and said nothing. "I know it's not the life you're used to." I then took one of the wolf pelts I carried and I handed it to him. He looked at me with a slight decrease in hostility and, under his breath, said: "Thank you." We walked for something like thirty minutes when we heard our footsteps echo. "Must be a gall'ry or sumpthin'" said Raccoon. We quickened our pace and finally, we arrived at a large gallery. It was adorned with stalagmites and stalactites and there were three small lakes. The light of the torches reflected off of the water surface. "Wow," was the general reply from our group. Potash approached the water and dipped a finger in it. "It's hot!" he said. "We won't freeze to death!" We all laughed as we were relaxed and we slowly walked towards the water to test it ourselves. "This one's cold," said Dr. Kolf, after inspecting another lake. "And there are fish in it." Serjo approached the lake with a torch. "The fish don't run away from light," he said. "That's strange." "They don't have eyes," said the Doctor. "What?" "Eyes cause infections," explained the Doctor, as we came closer to see this marvel of nature. "Being eyeless in a lightless environment is better for the fish." "It won't be an advantage when we run out of wolf meat," said Raccoon, showing an effort to speak normally. We all laughed heartily, now that all our problems seemed to be solved. The fish quickly swam away at our loud noises. "GRWAOOWAAHRRRGHAGAHGH!" Suddenly, as large wooden club fell on the ground at which Serjo had just been standing. "It's an ogre!" said Raccoon. I quickly took a glimpse at the creature: Festering stench, vomit-green skin, an ugly face, yes. It was an ogre alright. Acting on pure instinct, I shouted: "Everyone, cover your eyes!" and I muttered words of power. I averted my eyes and a bright flash of light appeared in front of me. "AAAEGGHHHH" groaned the ogre, blinded by the flash. "Excellent work, boy!" said Serjo. He quickly climbed the ogre's club, which was swung randomly by its owner in futile attempts and held on to the ogre's shoulder. He then drew a dagger from his boot but just when he was about to stab the ogre's neck, the ogre lifted him up and threw him to the wall. "Serjo!" cried Jering, unexpectedly, and he ran in front of the ogre. He tried to drive the ogre's attention and he was successful. The ogre swung his club, enraged. Jering dodged the attacks over and over. "We have to DO something!" I told Potash, whom I realised, was in a deep trance, reciting words over and over, even darker than the ones he was muttering yesterday and his eyelids were fluttering rapidly. Meanwhile, Dr. Kolf was trying to wake Serjo, but he was unsuccessful until now. Jering was obviously getting tired from all that running around. Then, the ogre noticed Potash and instinctively understood that he was the most dangerous one in our group. Potash's incantation was taking longer and longer and his voice had become distorted. He had slipped into the Fifth Circle. Serjo was slightly recovering his consciousness which meant that a physical offensive strategy would be best. I decided to act. "Think," I told myself. "Think! Ogres..." I remembered what the textbooks said about these creatures. Their eyes were their weakest points. I quickly turned right and saw Chengell Kolf slapping Serjo and then left to see Djanmer holding a torch, paralysed by shock. "Djanmer!" I cried. "Pass me that torch!" Djanmer stepped out of his trance and looked at me for a second. "The torch!" I shouted. He then threw the torch at me. I caught it and ran as fast as I could to the ogre and shook the torch at him. "Ya! Ya!" I shouted, trying to scare the ogre. He grunted and smashed his club at me, missing me by a foot, which gave me enough time to approach his humongous feet. With one hand, I held my nose. Then, I enchanted the torch, using my body heat, due to the absence of the sun and I projected the flames at the ogre's feet. "AAAAREEEGEHEHEGEHEGEREEEEIIIAIAIAIAIAII!" the ogre cried and while trying to grasp his foot, fell on the floor, shaking the whole cave. I staggered away from the creature, scared that I would be crushed under him, but Serjo was braver than me. He had gotten up, and with a huge war cry, he lifted a gigantic claymore above his head and ran at the ogre, then, he slashed the belly of the ogre. A loud "phjjjjck" sound erupted and we were suddenly covered in purple slime. "Ewww!" said Raccoon who was, until then, absent from the scene. I looked up to see where his voice had come from and was shocked to see him on the ceiling, with his dagger clenched between his teeth. Then, he took the dagger in his right hand, held it with the tip facing the ogre's head directly underneath him and laughed like a maniac. Suddenly he was on the ogre's head, stabbing the eyes while more purple slime burst out. With ground-shaking effort, the ogre got up in frenzy and he took his club and prepared to swing it at Djanmer, who was, again, in shock. "Drakh'tul!" shouted Potash, finishing off his incantation and then the cave rumbled and shook and made us fall out of balance. A long stone spire rose out of the ground between the ogre's legs and impaled its torso and skull. "Aaaarggh!" Potash shouted again. This time, a column rose from the nearby wall and pierced the ogre's neck. "Hiargh!" and this time, a stalactite fell on the creature's head, bashing its skull. The Alchemist thumped his feet at the ground with a steady rhythm and raised his clenched fists. The ground beneath the ogre cracked open and the ogre fell with a loud rumble. The Alchemist finished by clapping his hands together. The crack closed. It took a long time for Potash to gain his breath. We just stood there and waited, nearly traumatized at what we had just witnessed. Potash held on to a stalagmite nearby for support. Jering ran to support him himself. Djanmer, was amazed, not shocked. "By the Double Moons!" he cried, half of his face covered with purple slime. "Unbelievable! That was amazing!" We all grunted, trying to clean the slime off of ourselves. "Damned troll..." Dr. Kolf mumbled. "Ogre..." corrected Serjo. "Shut up, Serjo, it's your fault we're covered in slime. "said Dr. Kolf, grinning. "Phfjjjjck," imitated Djanmer doing a spot-on impression of Serjo stabbing the ogre. We all laughed, relieved now that the peril had passed. "The water in that lake refreshes itself," said Potash, pointing at the hot lake. "I'm sure we can use it to get rid of the slime and not contaminate... "His voice trailed off. "Oooh," said Djanmer as he dipped his hand in the water. "Hot..." And then he started taking his clothes off. He slowly walked into the lake, taking another step every five seconds and emitting and "ah" sound once and then. The sound of the water echoed off the walls. When the water was up to his shoulders, the Artist turned back to face us. "Well, come on, men, the water is exquisite." He said, with a new texture of calm in his voice. So, we all started taking our clothes off..I was a bit shy while taking my clothes off, but with a slap on my back, Serjo urged me to go in too, so in I went. The water was shallow enough for all of us. Even Feddle, the Farmer, who was shortest, was only submerged up to his neck. We explored the body of water and we found that a ledge-like rock formation had formed at one of the sides, where we could sit, so we headed there. The slime had, thankfully, washed off of us and tinted the water in a cool purple colour. "This lake is great," said Djanmer. "I feel relaxed already." "Yes, hot spring water massage is excellent for the body," said Dr. Kolf. "This cave is a true wonder of nature," said Potash. "I haven't seen anything like it." "I must say," said the Prince. "It is even better than the Royal Baths." "Yeah, I needed something like this," said Raccoon. "I've got slime all over me." "I wunce sa' a cave like this'un in the lake back in our village," said Feddle. "Didn' have another lake in it tho'." "Oh, it is excellent for my fatigued limbs," said Serjo, rubbing his arms. "I'd be happy by not freezing to death!" I said. "But this, my friends, is truly a blessing." Then, we slowly engaged in a deep conversation in groups of two or three. I chatted for a couple of minutes and then was left alone, so I stood there for a minute, listening to the conversations of others, when my eyes caught sight of Jering, then, I recognised him. It was the beginning of the Winter Festival. Alliance Square was filled with crowds cheering and clapping as the Scribes carved the harvest log into the Stele. I, my head aching a bit from all the noise, was trying to head back home. I went into an alley for a shortcut. It was nearly always deserted, mostly because of its run-down appearance and its infamy of being the hang-out spot of criminals after nightfall. But today, every pickpocket was at the main roads. So, I was walking, minding my own business and suddenly, I heard hurried footsteps. I quickly hid between two kegs, not knowing why I hadn't just run. I looked at the person who was coming. It was a boy, my age, very exquisitely dressed. He had a look of anxiety on his flushed face and a slight quirk in the way he moved. I was right. He had a hard-on. The boy looked around to see if anyone was in eyesight, decided it was safe and he pressed his meat between his hand and his left leg. "Oh damn!" he groaned as he rubbed it. "Why?.. damned potion... erotic daydreams, my arse... Alright... can't take it anymore." He then, to my surprise, slid his leggings to his ankles, revealing the meat he had been rubbing. I was amazed, this was awesome. He jerked his dick for a minute, groaned. Deciding it was not enough, he bent over and he suddenly jammed a couple of fingers, how many, I could not discern, into his hole. "Yeah!" he kept saying, in rhythm with his hands and in no-time, he let out a huge groan, his body rippled and a jet of his seed thwacked at impact with the keg next to me. The boy slumped to the wall and waited until he caught his breath. Then, he pulled up his leggings, licked his thumb and left, mumbling: "Never again... damned potions... feel dirty... public... indecent exposure." That was the Prince, the Prince who was sitting at the other end of this side of the lake, the Prince who had coloured MY daydreams ever since. My body was acting on its own behalf, I went next to him. He turned to face me. I leant in to whisper in his ear. "I enjoyed the `little show' you made at the Commencement Ceremonies." Jering turned red when he heard this, he then pulled himself together. "So what?" he said, defensively. "Are you going to blackmail me or something? You can't prove anything, anyways." He waited for a response, when I gave none, he became tenser. "Okay, look, keep your mouth shut. I am a Prince, for crying out loud, I have a reputation to keep." I did not reply and I kept a stoic expression on my face. Jering bucked his hips to signal defensiveness. His "defence" was abandoned when I suddenly grasped the meat between his legs, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. "What the hell do you think are you doing?!" he yelled, in a hushed voice. "Shut up," I replied and jerked his dick, which was getting harder with each pump. His face soon gave up the scowl it was sporting. He looked around anxiously to make sure no-one was paying any attention. I got anxious too, finally in control of my actions and when I turned to look at the others, I was shocked at what was happening. Everyone had started fondling each other in a playful manner and they were laughing like children. Then, all of a sudden, other people became aware of the other groups and became ashamed. We tried not to look at each other, but it was hard trying to conceal our smirks, then we started giggling. "What caused this mass hysteria?" we asked ourselves. "What can be the reason? Djanmer, the Artist gathered our attention and said: "Do not be amazed, my friends, for it is simply the effects of my mischievous Magic Flute." "Magic Flute?" we asked. "What is the nature of this Magic Flute?" "Friends," he said. "This Flute has been given to me by a most secretive creature. "Please, good Djanmer," we said. "Tell us the story of this Magic Flute, for our curiosity is piqued." And so, the Artist told us his story: This story I am about to tell happened when I was a young boy, probably a couple years younger than our young friends. Back eight years or something. Back in those days, I was striving to join the Royal Conservatory, but my family was a bit poor because of my mother's gambling addiction. Of course, no matter how good you are, without a good instrument, you can only play as good as your instrument allows. Anyways, my test was in a couple of weeks and I hadn't stepped out of my room for days, practicing all day long when my father came to the room and told me to take a day off and go wander in the woods. It seemed like a good idea because I was extremely tired and the forest could spark some inspiration. So, I packed some food and drinks, took my flute and headed off to the forest. It was a beautiful and calm summer day and the forest was filled with the orchestra of nature. Birds were tweeting, insects were buzzing and the flux of the stream created the best ambient. I walked leisurely through the forest, not a care in the world and I believe a couple of hours passed and I was completely relaxed and energised when I came upon a clearing. I decided to have a picnic and then practice some more. After I ate the food and drank some wine I sneaked out of the cabinet. I was ready to practice again. I started with pastoral largos, which suited the setting and I was getting into the spirit when I heard a quiet rustling near some tress. I stopped playing. "Hello?" I called. More rustling. "Don't be shy, you can listen if you want, I don't mind." The figure came out to the open. It was a strange creature, it had the torso of a human attached to the body of a horse. "A centaur!" I said. "Wow!" The centaur bowed respectfully. "I was listening to your music," he said. "It was quite beautiful. "Thank you," I replied. It was quite an honour to be complimented by a species of artisans. "But I thought centaurs avoided humans..." "That is generally correct," the centaur said. "But your music was simply magical, I had to come to see who was its creator." I blushed, the compliments were flattering. Then, we shook hands and told each other our names. His name was Kayler. He listened to me play until the end of the song and the asked me if I'd like him to play a duet with me. Needless to say, I agreed. He produced a golden flute from a sack on his body. It was beautiful and created the most magical flute sound I had ever heard. We played the piece with perfect coordination and we even improvised a little. After hearing him play, I became... how to put it... "attracted" to Kayler. His boyish looks, pleasant personality, and probably most of all, his musical talents made me feel warm inside. We engaged in conversation and asked each other about our daily lives and I felt an even deeper connection. We told each other funny memories and laughed and laughed. After a joke he told me, we laughed and suddenly silence fell. He looked warmly into my eyes, with an equally warm smile on his face. I leaned over and hugged him. He was surprised at first, but then he hugged me too with a tight grip. Then, we broke the embrace and exchanged glances again. "Come," he said, and turned sideways. "Climb onto me." I pushed myself on Kayler's golden brown torso, positioned myself and clutched his torso for support. I couldn't help but notice his firm muscles. We rode around the forest and we kept talking, but there was a slight change in the tone of our conversation. I don't know what to call it, but a small hesitation took place before every sentence. We came to another clearing where the stream collected into a small lake, a bit larger than the one we are currently in. "How about a dip in the lake?" he asked me. I agreed and got off of him and quickly took my clothes off and got in the cold lake. Kayler walked into the lake once I faced him. The water was up to the part where his human torso began, while for me, it was up to my shoulders. Feeling to tall, Kayler bended his legs and crouched, so he was at my eye level. I was shivering slightly because of the cold. "Are you cold, Djanmer?" he asked me. "Yes," I replied. He rubbed his hands on my arms and then he hugged me again. He pressed his human torso to mine which made my nether regions stir even though the water was cold. My rod became hard and swollen and it pressed against Kayler's navel. He looked at me in the eyes again, smirking. Then, without any warning, he lifted me and trotted out of the water. When we were out of the lake, he put me on the ground and he kissed me, quite fervently. It was my first kiss. Words are not adequate to explain the emotions I felt. I rubbed Kayler's horse half. He had such a beautiful body. He turned to look at me while I was touching him. I leaned my head against his torso and hugged him. I crouched a little, to see what was between his hind legs. I was pleasantly surprised. His meat was shaped just like a human's but it was as big as a horse's. "How do centaurs play around?" I asked him while I crawled under his body. "Well, we do it from the behind," he answered, naturally. "Oh?" I said. "No hands, no mouth?" Then I held his meat in my hands and slid them up and down on it. He twitched his right hind leg "No," he answered. "But this is great." I jerked him some more. It was gigantic and it took me some time to jerk it all the way from the base to the head, it must've been two or three feet long. "It's beautiful," I told him. His meat twitched. I closed in on it and took a lick at the cumslit. "Oh, wow," Kayler exclaimed. "Is that your tongue? I never felt anything like that before!" I took the head in my mouth and sucked on it as hard as I could as I pumped the rod with a steady rhythm. Kayler responded with a crescendo of the sound "aaaaah". Encouraged, I took as much as I could in my mouth, avoiding the urge to gag as much as I could and when I couldn't take much more, I opened my eyes and saw that I had only one third of it in my mouth! So, I did the best I could and pumped the rod faster as I swirled my tongue around the head. "Suck it, Djan," he urged me. "Suck it harder!" And that was exactly what I did. Soon, his dick was leaking a salty watery cum, quite tasty too. Kayler was groaning and his meat was pulsing and twitching. I swallowed as much of the liquid as I could. After a few mouthfuls, it stopped. "Are you done?" I asked. I wouldn't be satisfied until I heard him scream. "No, I'm gonna cum one more time," he said, between groans. "Just keep doing it." With renewed motivation, I went down on his gigantic meat once more. It was slightly softer, it wasn't rock-hard. I was unsure why he didn't want me to stop, but I kept sucking like there was no tomorrow, exploring every groove and bump with my tongue. I knew he loved it and that made me very happy. "Oh... yeah, just like that, Djan... suck it, suck it, suck it! Oh, by the Double Comets!" Kayler exclaimed and soon, his words turned to incoherent mumblings and his breath became raspy, rapid and intense. "Djanmer... Djan, I'm gonna- uh... I'm gonna-" He never finished that sentence. Instead, a huge moan and a short, low-pitched scream burst from his lips. This was followed by a surge through his long meat and a thick, heavy and sticky spooge filling my mouth. I swallowed twice, but it kept on filling my mouth to the brim. Some of it leaked out the corner of my mouth and flowed slowly to my chin. I swallowed again, hard, and I sucked on the head one last time. "Argh," Kayler said, and moaned softly. I crawled back up and rested against the side of his human part. He pulled me closer to him and then he leaned down to kiss me. He sucked greedily on my lips and licked the trail of his cum on my chin. He rubbed his hands on my shoulders and he finally broke the kiss. "That was..." he started, unsure of what to say, "unlike anything I've ever felt before... I... um, I..." "Shut up," I said, and I kissed him again. We chuckled into each others' mouths. "Get on top of that rock," he said, and I climbed up there. He leaned again to kiss me, and he started jerking my dick with his nimble fingers and with his other hand, he poked my hole. "Tight," he commented. I chuckled. My hole's tightness didn't stop him from jamming his finger up there, though. "AH!" I said, sharply. Kayler grinned impishly and pushed it all the way in. "OH! Aaaaahh..." "Are you ready?" he asked me. "For what?" "This." He suddenly bent his finger and pushed it up against my flesh. At that time, I did not know what it was and it simply felt magical. He then complemented this ecstatic feeling with a tug on my dick, which then transformed into a slow, but intense pump in rhythm with the pressure he applied with his fingers in my butt. From time to time, he nipped my nipples and softly bit my neck. A rumbling sensation grew in my balls and I knew that I wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. "Kay," I said. "Yeah?" "Mmmmh, get ready." He chuckled and pressed his fingers harder and jerked faster. I groaned and jets of cum erupted, took a leap and landed on both our torsos. For the next couple of minutes, all I could think of was the buzz in my cock, Kay's warm tongue in my mouth, the rush I felt in my head and the perception of the world as weightless. Kay slowly lifted me up again and he placed me on his back. I reached around and clung to his stomach as he galloped the way back to the other clearing. I whispered words of love and gratitude into his ear. When we came back, I landed and got dressed. "I guess it's time to say `goodbye'," he said. "I'm going to miss you, Kay." I hugged him again. He smiled sadly. "Listen," he said. "I can't see you as often as I would like, and my tribe is moving out of this forest soon." He took out the wooden box the golden flute was in and he handed it to me. "Take this as a token of our friendship, even though we will not see each other again for years. May it always remind you of me." Then, he sobbed. I knew he was going to cry, and I knew that that would make me cry too. Without saying anything else, Kay turned away and galloped into the forest. I haven't seen him ever since. Our love and friendship changed my life. I occasionally dream of him and I like to imagine that those dreams are messages from him that say he is fine and he dreams of me too. When I played the golden flute in front of the proctors of the Royal Conservatory, they were amazed and I was accepted with total scholarship. As I continued to improve my playing, I found out that the flute Kay had given me was unlike any other. People said that my playing created empathy between me and them. That was when I understood the flute was magical. Years later, after performing for the nobility and such, I had accumulated enough wealth and a friend of mine who happened to be an alchemist examined the flute. He said that it was unlike anything he had ever seen before and that I could make millions with the patent money. I declined. And that's the story of the Magic Flute. I hope you enjoyed it. When he finished his story, he found us, his listeners to be overwhelmed with lust. We pulled his arms and played with every singled inch of his body: Tickling, massaging, rubbing, slapping, caressing, pumping, poking until we all came, one after the other onto his body. We laid on the warm rock floor, jumbled between each others' limbs, a smile on every man and boy's face and we dosed off to sleep. Thus ended our first day.
