'Sure is becoming a lot more rocky around here.' The terrain was getting more rocky and steep in some areas the further I went on, the lush greenery becoming more sand filled and rocks more plentiful. It was essentially a lush canyon right now, so I was definitely nearing this Wildspire Desert or whatever it's called. And it was all thanks to my directions of following the orange and red feathers on the ground. I mean my god, was whatever bird I was following eternally molting or something?

"Stop, shoo, shooo, go away! There's no eggs for you here!" A lively guy squawked.

"Don't tell her that yet, I have to get a sample first!" A jovial voice called out.

"I must draw it... posing!" An upbeat guy shouted.

"What ever you do, don't let her touch my omelette!" A hungry lady warned.

"Please go away, big bird!" The voice of a gentle woman yelled.

The fourth voice I heard in the distance was a familiar lady voice. The other three sounded like a couple of monster nerds. The last one sounded like a soft lady voice I've never heard before. I ran towards the sounds, which still kept me on the path of plumage, until I heard the sounds of shuffling and movement right around the corner of the giant rock wall. I turned to take a peek and found some tan, orange, and red bird monster trying to rumage through a cart being pulled by some small wyvernians. Nerds from the looks of it. And with those said nerds was the handler girl and a hunteress in some guile armor, clearly a gentle women from the looks of it.

The bird wyvernoid was of a slender build. She had what amounted to B cup breasts and a small plump rear. Her frame suited one of a spry theif, her limbs limbs brimming with light muscle, most notably her legs. Her face was that of a goofy bird, a mohawk of orange and red plumage and a strong beak contrasting with a soft face. Her light blue eyes were totally focused on the cart. She still had a full plumage too. How the hell was that possible?

"Eggs, eggs, eggs." I barely heard her hum to herself as she moved past the people trying to shoo her away or study her. She was going to ransack those supplies from the looks of hit. I couldn't let her do that, so I came up with a brilliant plan on the spot.

"Eggs here!" I shouted. From the sounds of it, they stopped moving. I could here the guild group start rushing to get moving. No doubt trying to escape the baroth, being me. That wasn't disheartening at all. Not only that, I heard footsteps of a larger than human coming towards me. I turned the corner and in my face was the bird wyvern, this kulu-ya-ku as I believed it was called. "Hi." I said simply.

"Eggs?" She asked as she bounced in my face. "You have eggs?"

"I-" She snatched my slab right out of my hands. "Hey!" I growled out.

"Is this an egg?" To my dismay, she proceeded to peck it with her beak and bash it against the ground. "Tough egg." She mumbled.

"That isn't an egg!" I shouted. I snatched my slab right out of her grip. It was busted up, but still legible.

"Where egg then?" She asked. Rather than act angry by my deceit, she looked just confused. It was pretty clear there was no eggs here, but she wasn't catching on. And I was losing time and pace with the cart.

"The egg is somewhere around here. That somewhere being where the cart is going." I pointed in the direction of said guild group.

"Cart?" She asked. Right, I was speaking to a monster.

"The thing those little guys were weird stuff were moving." I said in an effort to explain the situation in a monster sorta way.

"Little guys?" She asked. How was she that clueless?

"The skin stealers you were just messing with?" I suggested. "When you dug into that weird stuff? What rolling thing?"

"What weird stuff? What rolling thing?"

Fuck it. "Fuck it. Follow me and we get eggs." I relented. I would be hear all night at this rate if I kept trying to explain.

"Fuck it? Eggs than fuck, okay." She giggled, deciding to tail me. I could've just scared her off or something but no, I was too much of a nice guy. Cripes, it was easier just hunting and not talking to these guys. I suppose it would be nice having some company. She could watch my back and I hers.

"Where we going?" She asked following my lead as I crouched behind a rock with cacti on top and continued to crouch, walk, and roll from cover to cover.

"We're following somethings." I answered, keeping my eyes up front. There were light tracks becoming a bit more fresh as we went on. They're probably gonna slow down as they get further away from the area of my initial call. We got a little further before she chose to speak again.

"Do they have our eggs?" She asked as she looked past my right leg to notice the relaxed cart group, making me sigh. Couldn't she talk about something else?

"No." We crouched behind some gaint cacti.

"Then why follow them?" She asked, probably cocking her head he side.

"Because they'll lead us to them." I answered.

"They have a nest?" She just keeps on asking questions.

"No, but they might lead us towards some nearby ones." I suggested. In all honesty, they could.

"Do they make eggs?" She asked some more.

Technically yes, but ultimately? "They do not. Now no more questions, just follow." I said, holding back a light growl of annoyance under a strained smile. Her level of inquistiveness was definitely higher than the other monsters I've encountered. She nodded eagerly and would now hopefully follow my simple lead in silence.

We were close enough not to alert, but hear. The conversation went on something like this.

What's that? Science of formation. What's that? Beetles, baby. What's that? A cactus! The only thing that interested me was something about an intriguing spire off in the distance. Also... that's odd, I don't hear the kulu-ya-ku behind me. So I turned around and-wait, she wasn't behind me! Then where... How?! How the did she get ahead of me and the cart?!

They didn't see her yet but they were probrably heading towards her location. I couldn't let them get hindered by being scared or annoyed off. I had to sneak my big ass around the cart, rolling behind and crawling on rocks as quietly as possible. I had no idea how I looked, but I assume it was ridiculous as usual. "Hmph!" Fuck, I had to cover my mouth to stop me from yelping. Think I stepped on a thunderbug. Ignoring the slight limb in my left leg from the sting, I rolled from behind one gaint rock all to another, grabbing the kulu-ya-ku while did so.

When we stopped rolling and landed on our bums, I saw she had in her hand some weird yellow and green frog. I couldn't help but ask. "What is that?"

"Stop thingy." She answered, before agitating it by poking it with her talon. It was starting to vibrate. "See?"

"See what?" My question was answered by the frog expelling some yellow gas. Weird, I kinda felt numb. In fact I felt number all over. Oh shit, paralyzing gas! Both me and my detrimental partner both collapsed as the frog burrowed away. Not only was most of my body now numb, but now I had a painfully hard erection!

"Only one way to relax that monster." That damn voice, coming and going as it pleases! Both me and the kulu-ya-ku couldn't move until after the cart passed. Nothing like being irritated, stealthy, and horny all at once. 'This was just like living with my old folks again.' I couldn't help but internally groan.

"Pretty cool, right?" She looked excited both normally and sexually, cause those nipples looked ready to cut glass and her pussy was looking awefully ready for some penetration. She didn't even mind being completely paralyzed just now.

I shook my head. "Listen, just stay behind me, follow, don't talk, and don't go ahead again." Her response was a goofy salute. With a sigh, I listened for the cart and we continued following.

They were further away, but I still saw them go inside this relatively small area of rock walls after another overpass with an opening. From our position, we could see in the distance was a massive spire and something smoldering beside it. Guess they were heading that way too.

"Too hot and scary looking." My current bird buddy whispered beside me, her eyes focused on the origin of the smoke. "Makes me feel not so comfy."

"Tell me about it." I whispered, mostly to myself. You don't think-

"Makes my head feel weird. I don't like it." She told me. She must've heard me and taken it literally.

"It would probably help you to just follow me. If you get scared, hold my hand." I held out my hand and she grabbed on. Odd move in know, but I had some experience with children. Or in this case, a childlike mind. Huh. Considering the situation, I could have said that better. Oh well, you knew what you were heading into. "Now stay quiet. We're getting eggs, okay?" She nodded, looking a bit more eager to go on.

"RRAAAAAARRGH!"

A roar in the distance! A roar all to familiar to me. And to make matters worse, it was where the cart was heading to. I bolted with the kulu-ya-ku still holding on to my hand. This area was completely green, a product of the mires around here. That wasn't the only thing green around here either and like some of the plants, it was toxic. A rathian stood between us and where the cart was heading off to, keeping watch over her territory. This was bad, very bad.

The rathian, a mixture of athletic and royal in figure in green and gray scales. She was proportioned evenly a firm C cup bust and bountiful hips on a toned form, her legs carrying a bit more muscle then her arms, though her ams looked pretty strong too, made to carry her body off the ground. What caught my attention though, was her prominent weapon, the spiked tail. Really want to avoid that.

I don't know if I could take her and with this kulu-ya-ku beside me, my worry increased. She was an egg poaching wyvernoid and given how fierce the queens of the lands are as mothers... I turned to her and again she's gone off! I turned again and this time, she was right behind the rathian with a large rock in her hands. The fuck was she gonna do with that?!

The rathian turned around just as I bolted to stop this attempted suicide. I couldn't get there in time and Kulu, which is what I'll call her from now on, bonked her on the head with the rock. The rathian went down like a sack of dragonite ore to my amazement and slight deflation of being outdone in terms of current action.

To more of my surprise, Kulu began crying and rushed over to hug me. Kinda glad I wasn't still stiff at this point. Tiny part of me was kinda disappointed too I think. "I-I a-almost d-died!" She cried, burying her head into my gut to sob all over me.

I couldn't help but sigh at the three sixty of the badass moment as I hugged her back and rubbed her head in a soothing motion. "Shh, shhh, it's okay, I'm here. I wouldn't have let her harm you." Even if she had the chance to, she'd have to through me first. Not gonna let something die on my account unless it's huntin' time. "Come on, let's get out of here before she wakes up." Kulu sniffled but nodded as she held my hand again. We made our way out of the shaded area to follow the cart, on a wider area this time as opposed to that rather narrow one from before.

Sparse vegation of roots, cactus, and vines with stocky apceros and lively kestadon just minding their own business. The giant spire was just beyond the distance sand dune ahead of us. When we came up it, we found more than just the cart and the wildspire. A lightly smoldering giant hunk of rock and the nerds were rushing towards it. The handler was just eating her omelette and the gentle lady was petting a bitterbug.

The rock hunk brought back some feelings. It was odd how it was just out here, this place didn't look like anything volcanic lurked here. Unless it belongs to... but how and when? "Earthquake!" Kulu suddenly yelled at my side. I was about to chide her for nearly blowing our cover until I felt the rumble too. But I knew better, this wasn't an earthquake, something big was just coming this way.

My answer came in the form of a diablos looking to mow down some intruders, unleashing it's famous roar upon sighting them. And those intruders would happen to be the guild workers doing some science right now. "Oh fuck!" I yelled. I looked at Kulu. "Listen to me, stay back while I take care of this!"

She shook her head. "But why?! Big horn-"

"No buts, except for yours getting out of here while I handle this!" I don't think the rock trick will work for this one and I'm not leaving a chance for her being here. I have to give those guys a chance to escape. "Go wait somewhere safe! I'll meet you after!" I told her. She hesitated, but from the looks of it, I think she understood and went off.

I on the other hand, ran out there to see the diablos about to charge at them. I did what would be considered a very stupid thing and roared myself. "Grraaagh!" May not be as majestic or as intimidating, but hey, it got me noticed. The diablos stopped to face me and the guild people, including the gentle lady, took off, hopefully with some samples.

I could see the diablos' eyes twitch at seeing me. He was big yet lean and mean, muscles built like a bulky runner if you will and his cock looked like one you'd see in a stereotypical porno theater, something made to break someone down to fuck. His beefy arms carried claws more suited for digging than tearing into flesh and flying even though he had those wings. That sandy colored body having that axe-hammer club tail and massive horns atop frilled head with those tusks really did serve in the favor of his intimation factor. Worst part is, the bark is nothing compared to the horns.

He probably didn't even give it a second thought before he charged at me with his horns lowered to impale me. I was barely even half his mass. I rolled out of way just in time for him to crash into some weak rocks. No way I was gonna even try to take him head on, I saw how that shit went down back in the old world. He wasn't even fazed by the rocks he crashed through.

Instead of charging this time, he dug underground. I had a feeling of what he was gonna do and seeing the dirt and debris shoot up as it came towards me only felt like confirmation. I rolled again, dodging a thrust up from the wyvernoid. Getting a bit too bold in hindsight, I ducked under a tail swipe and jumped on the back of his shoulders, proceding to grab him by the horns. When he tried to shake me off, I leaned to the side and used my body weight to bring him down headfirst into a spire. I jumped off before he fell completely, landing on my ass with a gracious thud.

"Barroth!" That voice. Kulu! "Trouble! Green trouble!" She yelled as she jumped onto me. Rather light lady monster, as I was able to get up with her in my arms.

"I told you to wait for me!" I shouted, gesturing to the momentarily dazed diablos. "What green trouble?!" My answer came in the form of the familiar roar and flapping in the air above us. That's right, the rathian Kulu knocked out. Thought she'd forget about us by now.

"You!" She roared. Her voice was one you'd think of nobility, albeit clouded by contempt right now. Her boobies jiggled a bit as she hovered above us and that tail swayed in anticipation of use. "Hand me the egg theif, barroth, and walk away!"

"Kinda can't do that!" I shouted back, not willing to sell out someone I dragged into this. Were these ladies oblivious to the sandy death taking a short nap beside us?!

"Fine. You may join your apparent lover in the afterlife!" Now wait a minute!

"YYYEEEAAAAARRRRGGH!" And sleeping beauty was back up and blasting our eardrums! Great timing everyone! To my relief though, his eyes focused on the rathian and hers on him. For some reason, my mind screamed Turf War. The rathian landed for some reason and shot several fireballs at him and in response, he burrowed away before they could actually touch him. Only to pop up and grappled the smaller rathian with his horns before straight up suplexing her into the sand. She landed right on her belly and in her dazed movement, she rose ass first. Big mistake depending on how you looked at it.

The diablos wasted no time in grabbing her by the ass and forcing the meat hammer in her with a triumphant roar. She groaned and whimpered at the penetration and continued to do so as he hammered away at her anus, the meaty slabs sounding off at each thrust. The rathian had the expression of pain and horny appreciation on her face as he kept pounding. Soon it would be an expression of ahego from the looks of it.

If you don't know what ahego is, you're in the wrong place. Go educate yourself.

As nice as view as this was, I was sure now would be a good time to make our exit. I didn't even give Kulu time to finish her maturation in my arms at the scene, lest the diablos or even the rathian try to rope us in via death threat or something. I ran towards some other place, jumping over a ledge, ran past some more big rocks and cacti, eventually making it to some marsh filled with multiple flowers coming out of it.

"I think we should be good here." I told Kulu as I put her down. Then I heard a few croaks around us, one near us. To my ever increasing horror, we were also in a marsh filled with more paralyzing toads. The one near my feet just stared at me, as if judging me. I quickly moved away from it and took a seat on a stone platform in the water. Kulu decided to take a seat on my lap. "Sorry I got you caught up in that nonsense."

"Caught up in what?" She asked, cocking her head curiously. "I never got caught in anything." She said.

"Nevermind." I sighed, laying back against the rock. She decided to follow suit and lay across my chest. I was too tired to even bother asking her to move. It was late in the evening now and I pretty much went a day without sleep.

"You sleepy?" She asked softly. I nodded. "Sleep here?"

"Yep." I mumbled, closing my eyes. I felt her head lay against my chest. This was the closest I could get to a blanket tonight and you know what? It suited me just fine.


I was in a meadow of multicolored flowers under a sky filled with a few clouds when my eyes reopened. I was also back in my human form, my ebony splendor across my flesh rather than brick and gray colored scales. Good thing I was a lucid dreamer or this would be a bit soul crushing in the morning.

I looked around and beside me was a barroth, lying down on his belly with his knuckles holding up his head as he lazily kicked his legs down and up. "Hi." I greeted simply.

"Greetings, my first level conscience." The barroth replied in what would amount to my voice in a sensual tone. Ah, the subconscience psyche bullshit, my favorite. "Amazed you were able to sleep with a petite hottie on top of you."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "Well, oral with a beak sounds doesn't sound very enticing on my end." I replied.

He rolled his eyes and clicked his tongue. "Yep. Because the lack of proper oral is a total deal breaker." The sarcasm practically oozed from his mouth. "Denial is just prolonging the inevitable. When the time is right, you'll have to release and in that time, I'll come out of the closet yet again."

"What are you, my inner beast?" Am I going insane?

"Wasn't it obvious?" He rhetorically asked with a wink. "I'm another piece of you baby. And soon, we will be in sync."

"Never, never!" I hissed at him. I'm not a furry, dammit. I like human women! "You! Your the reason I ate out that monster!" I was seething

"You're welcome." He chuckled. "Technically, you did it yourself. We, as in I." He pointed between us both. "Acknowledged the situation and handled it accordingly."

"No, you're not me!" I yelled. "You're a fraud. I'm not into this!"

"Keep telling yourself that, me." He snorted. The world was starting to fade and my vision was going blurry. I could barely see the beast wave lazily in departure. "Goodbye now."


When I woke up, I found myself alone upon the rock I slept on. Guess Kulu went off to look for more eggs or something solo. Well, I wasn't entirely solo myself as another paratoad, as I will now be calling them, was on the rock just staring at me with those large amphibious eyes. I shuddered as I yawned before getting up to stretch in the midmorning sun.

Man was I feeling dry. No thirsty necessarily, but definitely dry. Dry and hungry. Right, with my new biology I needed mud and ants to sustain myself. Both easy to fix problems, the former especially in my current area.

One sweeping look and I found a good spot to roll around in. I immediately went over there and proceeded to do so. Never has getting so dirty ever felt this good and when I was done, it had formed a protective barrier on my armor from sun, bugs, and -

(Splash!) Wwweeerrgh!

Giant angry fish attack! Bitch caught me just as I got back up. It was some type of piscine wyvernoid trying to wrap around and bite me! To hell with that! I grabbed it by its slippery shoulders, lowered my head, and threw that bastard off. Dammit, I think it chipped some mud off.

The creature immediately flopped back up to its full height, a bit taller but thinner than me. A female piscine wyvernoid covered in mud. She had a swimmers build, a svelt body. B cup breasts for her size and her hips were a bit more prominent. Webbed fingers and toes with little hooked claws, with fins on her back, elbows, and cheeks. She had sharp, hook like teeth under that soft face and hear head was reminiscent of a coelacanth. Her tail was that of a thick fish. Her color consisted of dark and light gray with salmon pink edge on her fins.

She hissed and slithered around me before lunging again. I wasn't fast enough and she pinned me to the ground with both her hands holding down my arms as she sat on my chest. I wasn't having any of it and with my strength, I flipped us over and held her down instead. She tried to wiggle out, but I kept her pinned despite the thrashing and wiggling. Her struggle seemed to cease before she started to grind her hips against mine.

"Yes!"

"No!" I yelled, backing up and letting go of the aquatic monster.

That piscine wyvernoid just gave me a curious look rather than seize her moment to escape my dirty wrath. "Are you ok, dude?" She asked in a voice that spoke volumes of the lazy type. She was assaulting me, now she was concerned? "We can do this another time if you want?"

What was she talking about? Was this not just a Turf War?

"YYYEEEAAAAARRRRGGH!"

"Oh boy." She sighed a bit mournfully. "Looks like that nice kulu-ya-ku lady was spotted."

"What?!" Please tell me we're talking about a different one.

"Some kulu-ya-ku came around my way asking about eggs for herself and a barroth friend." She made a surprised look. "That wouldn't happen to be you would it?" I couldn't help but growl and ran off in the direction of the dreaded diablos screech. "Okay! Let's do this again sometime when you're ready! I'll be here lounging as usual!" She yelled, her voice growing more faint as I ran off to save that little egg poacher.
