Usual warnings. If you're under 18, go away, and if male/male sexuality
bothers, you, why are you here. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

This story is a work of fiction, and should not be confused with any
other work of fiction or any fact.

This is a first try for me, so would greatly appreciate some input.
Thanks a lot and enjoy!


The Mysteries, By Leon Heart

Part 1

Run, he had to run. The trees, in their raven blackness, swished by Orin
as he sped along at an immeasurable speed through the vast forests. He
wouldn't be caught, his genes contained one of a need for independence
which most Black Forests found themselves unable to contain. Only through
mating could they satiate this need to control their own state of being,
and like hell was he about to mate.

These woods, they're so amazing. The darkness is soothing to me, why
can't I just enjoy my life in peace!? Why must he continually hunt me.
Two-thousand long years, since my four-thousandth birthday he's hunted
me, wanting me. I will NOT be his pet!

Orin kept on running, running as fast he could. He was lucky to escape so
many times before, but this time would be his undoing. Before, when Kar
had followed him he'd only had the powers of an average Dark. While his
speed far out ranged Orin's, he knew the terrain which Kar did not.
Capturing one in their own lands poses a difficult task, so either Kar
had to gain more powers or get Orin into his lands. The latter was not
possible, so Kar was very fortunate to find a boy willing to give him a
few power crystals in exchange for some small favors. By gaining a shadow
and sword power, his new Darkened Night status left Orin no chance to
escape. No longer would Kar have to dodge trees, wasting precious time.
He would just go right through them!

Orin yelled out as he was grabbed around the waste, his whole body
jerking forward.

"Let me go dam..." was all he could yell as he was swept up into the
darkness.....

---------------------------

Orin's eyes flutter slightly, a slow consciousness forming. Kar decided
Orin needed to sleep a little longer. He reached over to a nearby drawer
and pulled out something that looked to be some sort of gun, with a
needle at the end. He placed a vial in the butt of the object, and a
clicking sound occurred as the needle shot into Orin's arm. He cried out
only momentarily, and soon his mind began to drift as he lost contact
with reality.... urrrrgh, Where in the hell am I?! So tired....so...



The wind was light, a melodic breeze carrying with it the sweet scent of
the fragrant trees. Birds and animals sang a song of bliss that ended
quickly as a black creature blew through their home. He was pursued by a
relentless group of Green Forests, wanting this fowl thing out. Though
they were so different, he didn't understand why Black and Green forests
fought so much. Their forest was magnificent! He supposed it was the fact
that the Black Forests were faster and could see within both forests,
which the Green's could not. They were just jealous. Well that's their
problem, not mine.

"Stop now boy, and we'll go easy on you!" yelled one in the number.

"Shut up moron, he's faster than us! We need to out smart him," another
yelled out angrily at the other.

"Well what do YOU have in mind, turd face?" The two proceeded to fight,
making fools of themselves.

"Having fun?" Orin yelled, laughing as he sped around them in a circle,
still easily holding his lead. "Bunch of morons, ya need to get a life!"

They've nothing better to do than chase me all day long! Can't they even
leave me alone on my birthday. A guy only turns 4000 once. Well, I'll
show them. Orin quickly jumped high above the trees, quickly covering the
distance left between his forest and their's. He landed gracefully on the
ground, catching himself with his hand. His eyes returned to their normal
yellow glow, and now the the forest seemed more like an angelic light
than forest.

"And don't come back, ya monster!

Monster? Me? He laughed menacingly at them, sending them all into a
scurrying run. This was way too easy. A sound...someone nearby. Orin was
shocked as the wind was knocked from his body. Someone had jumped on top
of him! Stupid moron! He used his speed to counter by turning the guy
over so he'd be the one pinning him down. He glared at Orin with glowing
red eyes, laughing evilly.

"You're quite fast, aren't you boy?" Kar grinned.

"Who the hell are you? Aren't you a little far from home, Dark?" Orin was
angry, very angry. He nearly hissed out the words.

"Oh calm down boy. My name is Kar, and I only want you for my mate."

"THE HELL I..." Suddenly Kar was on top of Orin, holding him in a strong
lip lock. Orin fought relentlessly as Kar's tongue explored his fighting
mouth. He nearly screamed as Kar's hand began to caress his skin.

"Get-the-hell-off-me YOU BASTARD!!!!!" he screamed.

"Why? I'm soooo enjoying this my pet." Kar purred as he proceeded to
pinch Orin's nipples beneath his tight shirt. Mmmm so hot, Kar thought to
himself.

Kar soon realized he'd made a mistake by letting his guard down, because
a sudden jolt to his groin told him he wouldn't be having Orin today.
"Sucker!" With that Orin sped off home. Grrr men, they're all the same.
Think they can own you. Well not me. I won't be owned.

He finally arrived to the center of the forest, the city as he liked to
call it. The center of the forest was the most dense part and also where
the inhabitants lived. He walked toward his home, having to fend off at
least 15 "suitors." Just because I'm of age, they think they're getting
something. Well, they can't force me in town, and like heck they'll catch
me outside it. Orin was faster than most boys his age, a trait he
inherited from his father's side of the family. A boy is a male who can
bare children, and so he can mate with another male. The number they can
bare is far less than a woman's, because they're body isn't built to
handle it as well. The most a boy could have is about 2, 3 if he wanted
to be under constant care for his entire life.

Orin entered his home, yawning to himself. He hated living with his
brother, but since his father's death he had nowhere else to go. It'd be
fine with him, but his brother was considered one of the "shifters" in
town. A shifter is what we call a player, meaning he didn't keep one
girl, or boy, around for long. Sometimes he even went with a male, just
to get himself off. This reflected on Orin and it was part of the reason
for his many suitors in the group. Bunch of freaks, I'm not my idiotic
brother was his usual statement. Orin was often attacked within the
woods, lucky by only males near his age. He wouldn't stand a chance with
an older one. He may have been smaller than the males, but he was faster
and smarter.

I'm smarter, but this Kar guy freaks me out. I don't know what to expect
with him, considering he's a dark. They don't usually stray so far from
their woods, and no way am I going anywhere near those. The forests are
so dark even I can't see! Those eyes, what color did they glow? Red! So
he's either got a red power line, no he'd have tied me up with that, or a
spike power. That's probable, but he might have the blaster power. It's a
rare one for reds, but still possible. A blaster power is when one can
shoot out energy balls. It's a very strong power and very hard to beat,
especially on a red. The red's blasters are heat seeking, and near
impossible to outrun. Least he's not a black or white eye. I'd be caught
already if he were.

Orin went back to his mindless task of making a meal. As usual it was
only the stuff he'd brought in. His brother never got anything. He
wouldn't even go up a tree to pick something. How hard is it to pick
something off a damned tree!? Blacks eat what forms in their forests, or
what wanders in animal wise. They'll also eat bark from the trees, which
has a sort of fiber/protein mix and not a bad flavor. It also heals
itself immediately, the bark being the reason the forest is considered
indestructible. The darn trees just reform themselves and they won't burn
either. Wood from under the bark can be found on the ground, and this can
be burned for fire.

He decided on a black apple he'd picked earlier, and settled down to eat
it. Hmm, I know I'll see Kar again, not too soon I hope. No Dark comes
this far to give up so soon.

Corin picked up a book he'd found on the doorstep. It was a gift from his
one and only friend who sadly now lived in some city far from here. He
sent Corin a gift every so often, along with a letter describing how
happy he was with his wife and kids.

"Would be nice to actually have someone who CARES about you." Corin
yelled as he heard his brother coming in the door.

"Whats with all the damned screaming? Another letter from Blake? Tell him
I still want that ass of his." his brother walked off chuckling.

Idiot...yea, you want his ass and Kar wants mine. How fun. Now I've got
Blacks and a Dark chasing me...

Continued...?

Hope you like the story so far. Not sure if I should continue or not,
would love some opinions! This is a first try, so I hope you enjoy. You
