Ricardo looked at the now clean room. he scartched his head. "I never expected it to go that fast." he said. Indeed, it had only taken them an hour or so to completely clean the shop and wash the dishes. "Well, it just goes to show we can do if we put our hearts into our work." stated Agatha.

Just then, someone walked through the store entrance and walked over to Ricardo. "Hey Ricardo." He said. "Hi Raziel." said Ricardo. Raziel was a red-tailed hawk and about an inch taller than the otter. He wore a brown tunic, a sword on his back and some black boots. "So, who's the little lady?" asked Raziel. "Her name is Agatha and she is now my personal assistant." answered Ricardo.

"Is she now?" asked Raziel with a slight chuckle as he politely bowed to her. "A plesure to meet you milady." Raziel's expression became serious. "I must speak to you friend." he said turning to Ricardo. "You are among friends General. Please, what news do you bring?" asked Ricardo.

Raziel was silent for a few moments, his expression unchanged. Finally, he spoke up. "...It's about Giles." he said. "What about my father?" asked Ricardo. He soon began to realize what had happened. "No...It...It can't be!" cried Ricardo. "I'm afraid so. He fell trying to fend of the invaders near Nottingham in the british isles." Raziel reported.

Ricardo was on the verge of breaking down as tears flowed freely from his eyes. "...I should have gone." he said before shouting "WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN ME?" Raziel put his hands on the young otter's shoulders. "I know what your going through, but crying won't bring him back."

Ricardo looked Razziel in the face and asked "Was his death at least quick and painless?" "I'm afraid not. He fell helping the people evacuate when he was trapped in a burning building while trying to save the people inside. There was...Nothing we could do to help." Raziel answered. "I'm sorry." was the only other thing Raziel could say.

*LINE BREAK*

Meanwhile, near the outskirts of London, Three cloaked figures made their way to the port town. They made their way into town and stopped at a local tavern to rest for a while. One of the figures stayed outside as the other two entered the pub. As they made their way to the counter, they surveyed the behavior of the patrons.

They made their way to the counter and ordered two drinks. One of the two figures began asking around, as if trying to find some imformation. It was another half-hour before they left the tavern. The one snooping for info ordered them to follow him. they made their way to the docks and would soon board a ship.

*LINE BREAK*

The dawn of a new day brings with it the morning sun. It had been afew day since Ricardo heard about the death of his brother. He decided to let Agatha sleep for a few more minutes as he went down stairs to make them both some breakfast. Thats when he made it to the pantry and found it mostly barren save for a loaf of bread and a few bottles of poor ale.

"FFFFFUUUUU-" Sighed Ricardo annoyedly as he just now realzed that he needed to go shopping. He decided to wait for Agatha to wake up.

Agatha opened her eyes to the sunlight coming through the windows. She yawned and streched her arms up as she to get out of bed and made her way to the bath. Agatha cleaned herself up and got dressed. It was exeptionally hot this morning. so hot, in fact that she didn't bother to dry herself off after bathing.

Today, Agatha didn't bother to wear a top seeing as it was so hot today. Instead, she just wore a long brown native style skirt and a pair of anklets. She walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table.

She noticed the meager loaf of bread and looked over at Ricardo and chuckled. "I guess It's time to go shopping." she said with a hint of laughter. "It is indeed." he said. "I was just waiting for you to get up." he said "Then what are we waiting for?" Asked Agatha.

*LINE BREAK*

They had left the shop after Ricardo put the 'CLOSED' sign in the front window. They made their way to the center of town where the residents were busily walking to and from shop after shop. Agatha had never seen so many people in one place before. Sure, Nottingham had many residents, but there were never this many people gathered in one spot there.

Ricardo led Agatha to a small shop, inside of which was a doe of average height. She greeted Ricardo as he came through the door. "Hello Ricardo" She said. "Hello Paula." he greeted her back. "Who's your new friend Ricki?" She asked him, using a pet name. "Paula, this is Agatha." Said Ricardo. "Hello Agatha. So you're Ricki's new servant huh? Paula asked her. "that's right." said Agatha.

Paula looked at Agatha and said "You're pretty lucky to have a chest like that." Agatha blushed a little. "They're not that great. They're average at best." she replied. "It's better than nothing. Married and I have a son and I'm still flatter than a flounder." Paula said as she looked at her own chest.

While Agatha and Paula conversed, Ricardo Began browsing the shelves and began selecting groceries and putting them in a handbasket. He then brought the items up to Paula and purchased the items. He eventually took Agatha andsaid goodbye to Paula. They then made their way back home,

*LINE BREAK*

It was evening time and the night was just as hot as the day was. They decided to cool off in the bath. They were both chatting away when Ricardo noticed Agatha staring at him. The problem was she wasn't looking at his face. "My eyes are up here Agatha." She realized what he meant and began to blush furiously.

"Oh!...I'm sorry!" she apologized profusely. He just laughed and said "It's fine Agatha. Besides, I think you look beautiful too." They then got closer to each other and soon their lips met. They were locked in a passionate embrece for many moments before their lips finally parted.

Agatha was left speechless as Ricardo simply looked at her and smiled. "That felt so good!" said Agatha. "Then would you like it to feel better?" Asked Ricardo. Agatha complied by raising her tail up out of the water. Ricardo brought his mouth to her wet privates and began massaging her love with his tongue. She almost collapsed right there as she moanedd with plesure at the sensation brought on by his lapping tongue.

It wasn't long before Agatha reached her climax. "AAAUHN!" She screamed as she squirted her juices all over her lover's muzzle. Ricardo licked his muzzle clean of her cum. While he had serviced Agatha he had become hard. Agatha noticed this and was surprised at How well-endowed he was and decided to return the favor. She took his manhood in her mouth and caressed it with her tongue. "Oh god..." Ricardo moaned in pleasure as she megan to move her mouth up anfd down his shaft.

She eventually quickened the pace as Ricardo's began to give way. He couldn't hold any more and shot his seed into her mouth. Agatha caught and swallowed every last drop almost effortlessly. Ricardo then took his rod out of his lover's mouth and Mounted her. He then stuck it in he love hole as she shouted "Yes! Deeper! DEEPER!"

He went as deep as he could, nearly penetrating her womb. "Oh god YES!" Ricardo was in absolute bliss. He pumped in and out of Agatha as she was completely in a world all her own. Her eyes rolled so far in the back of her head that you could no longer see the pupils as he tongue haning out of her mouth as far as it could go.

Ricardo began to speed up as he screamed in pleasure, while Agatha was too far gone to make a sound. Ricardo Held back for as long as he could before he finally couldn't take anymore. He shot so much of his seed into her that he nearly emptied it all. Agatha's womanhood could only take so much as most of it leaked out. They both eventually collapsed on the edge of the pool. Ricardo looked up- at Agatha who was laying on top him and noticed that she had long since passed out.

He then picked her up and cradled her in his arms as he carried her back to his room and laid her head on the pillow. He then crawled in with her and eventually fell asleep, his arms wrapped her waist.

*LINE BREAK*

It was the middle of the night as the three cloaked figures stood at the bow of the ship as the spanish coast came into view. "Do you think She's their?" one of them asked. "I hope so. We've been searching for a week now. I just hope She's alright." The other said. The third figure still remained silent. The boat began to pull into port and they would soon continue their search.

They look to the night sky and prayed for good fortune before the entered they got off of the boat.

To be continued.
