Chapter 3: Voyage of Release
High above the island, the moon beamed its pale rays in between passing clouds. Lingering moments of nightly light illuminated the small port town. Tai walked around the corner of a house, carrying a large sack, originally purposed to carry produce, now containing the hunter's bounty. As he traversed through the small streets of Ang Zang, he remembered the information he gained from eavesdropping on that captain earlier. Tai hurried to the harbors, where he found the only ship large enough to fit a pirate crew. The vessel featured numerous lanterns lighting its decks and its sails were of a tan color. A few members of the crew, two wolves and a boar, sat on barrels and chatted by the boarding ramp before they noticed the snow leopard approaching them. They quickly became alert when the muscular bound stranger reached them.
"Greetings gentlemen" Tai said, staying a good distance from the pirates.
"Get lost cat!" one of the wolves replied aggressively.
"I wish to hire your vessel for transport."
They crewmates shared a questioning look at each other.
"You don't look the rich type." The boar in a bandana claimed.
Tai took out the bag of coins and jewels to show the pirates.
"Damn-" Said one of the wolves. "Are those diamonds!?"
"I can provide this small fortune in exchange for transportation to Xio Dao… as a down payment." Tai explained.
"What else are you offering?" One of the pirates asked.
Tai couldn't help but make a small smirk. He could tell he already had these sea faring rogues around his fingers. "My employer is a very wealthy nobleman. He hires me for bounty hunting. When we arrive, I'd be willing to share half of my pay."
Both wolves were already set on making a deal. But they're boar crewmate was still skeptical. "And let me guess, you also want to command our ship, right?"
"No" Tai answered. "I only have need for a voyage, and once I've reached my destination, and provided you're all paid, you'll all be free to go."
After a moment of silent thought, the boar held up a finger, signaling Tai to wait a minute as the three huddled a few feet away.
"I don't know about you guys, but the offer is very inciting." One wolf said.
"What about the captain? He'll be back any minute." The boar asked.
"Fuck that bastard. We accidently set off a cannon and lose out on a raid, so he treats us like shit. I say we take this guy's offer and leave that asshole marooned on this island." The other wolf said, finally letting out his frustrations.
After a couple minutes of debate, they three agreed on their verdict. They turned towards the stranger.
"We've decided to take you up on your offer mister…?" The boar said.
"Tai" The snow leopard replied.
"Mister Tai-" The boar said back. "We'd be honored to do business with you."
Tai smiled. "Good. How soon can we depart?"
"How soon would you prefer?"
"Immediately" Tai answered.
The boar smiled back, saying, "Excellent. Please, sir, allow us to show you aboard."
Tai and the three pirates boarded the vessel. The deck had some of the crew carrying out duties. Consisting of yaks, goats, boars, wolves and pigs, the crew made up a varied bunch.
"How much food and water does this ship possess?" Tai asked.
The boar answered, "We just restocked earlier, so we'll have no worries of starving before we reach Xio Dao."
"Very good" Tai then dropped the large sack onto the deck. "Do you have a brig?"
"Yes we do." The boar answered, eyeing the sack.
"Take this to the brig, lock it up, give it food and water every once in a while and no questions asked." Tai instructed. For good measure, he reached into his bag and gave the boar a sapphire as a bonus.
The boar picked up the sack replying "Yes sir. Oh, but before I do so, we have rooms on the bottom deck and-"
"Is the captain present?" Tai asked.
"No, we're leaving that asshole to rot in that rat hole." The pirate replied.
"Then I'll take the captain's quarters."
The boar, for a moment, exhibited a response of anger and frustration before realizing the size of Tai's muscles and claws. "As you wish sir, I'm sure you'll find it very comfortable. And I'm positive you'll find it has wonderful amenities." The boar said before picking the sack up and began to take it to the brig, though not without muttering curses.
Tai raised an eyebrow but brushed off the pirate's remarks. The crew began to set sail, raised the anchor and readied the vessel for travel. Tai made his way to the entrance to the captain's cabin. Unusually, he found the door to be double locked. Looking around, he saw a goose pirate who seemed to be passed out drunk and sleeping on the deck. He went and plucked a feather from the avian rogue, even this didn't wake him up. Tai proceeded to pick the locks with the feather. After a few minutes, he succeeded. This hadn't been his first time unlocking a mechanism with just a lone bird feather.
He entered the cabin and closed the door behind him. The captain's quarters were well decorated with purple curtains, an expertly designed rug and a curtained bed with royal blankets and sheets. Tai looked around more, finding-
"Who are you?" A feminine voice asked.
Tai instantly readied himself for a fight, only to find a female leopard lying in the large bed. At first she was shocked, but a single glance at this snow leopard forced her tone to change instantly.
"Who… are you?" Tai asked.
"I was about to ask you the same thing, handsome." The woman replied, staring at his naked, muscular torso desirably.
Before either one could speak again, another voice asked, "What's going on?"
Tai was taken aback when another female feline woke up from the bed, a white tiger. They both got up from the bed and starred at Tai, admiring his body. He was doing the same with them. They were both dressed in silver slim wear with only a red fabric draped between their legs and tied around they're hips. Both women sported curvy, attractive physiques and beautiful fur coats.
"Where is the captain?" One of the vixens asked.
"He's been marooned." Tai replied, his eyes drifting towards the beauties before him, especially they're chests. That boar's earlier remarks suddenly made sense now.
"You mean we're leaving without him!?" The panther asked, her face perking up.
"Yes, we're departing as we speak." Tai answered.
From out of the view of the three windows at the far end of the cabin he noticed that the ship was already moving away from the island of Ang Zang.
"Well, this is an unexpected change." The leopard woman said while eyeing Tai's crotch.
"Does this upset you?"
"Not at all-" She answered. "In fact, I much prefer your looks over the captain."
"As do I" The panther added.
Without a word, they both approached Tai and begun to caress and feel the snow leopard's arms, pectorals and abs. He offered no resistance. They're paws over his body felt pleasant and Tai was starting to feel hot in his mind and heart.
"What's your name?" One female asked.
"Tai" He answered.
"Just Tai?" The panther replied while her paw moved across his shoulders.
"What are your names?"
"Lora." "And Zora." They replied.
"What brings you on this pirate ship, Tai?"
"I hired the crew to transport me to Xio Dao. I've had a long, dangerous and difficult journey." He explained.
"Well, if you desire rest… then allow us to… comfort you."
"Are you sure?" Tai asked.
"We would love it." The panther, Lora replied.
Tai then gave a sexy smirk and took the vixens by surprise as he picked them both up, carried them on his shoulders before tossing them onto the large bed. He pounced on top of them and they began to kiss and make out with him. They're mouths mixed while Zora caressed Tai's pecs and abs while Lora ran her paws over his muscular back. As they made out, Zora undid Tai's belt and pulled his makeshift shorts down before tossing them to the wooden floor. Both women were in awe at the snow leopard's manhood, as large and mighty as the rest of his body. The atmosphere was filled with desire and Tai succumbed to his base, lustful instincts, forcing him to tear apart the women's garments, revealing their bare chests. Tai soon lost himself in pleasures of the flesh; His mission, his bounty, all that didn't matter anymore tonight. He messaged their chests, they sucked his manhood and the three felines relished in their burning threesome. He found Zora and Lora to be very skillful in bed, as was he. The sounds of aroused mewling and erotic growls echoed from the captain's cabin for hours.
After some time, Tai was pleasuring both women intensely. His lovemaking was rough, wild and violent. Back and forth, back and forth, over and over again as they're shared passions were finally reaching they're peaks. Tai humped and fucked them with such strength and ferocity that the bed shook rapidly as the headboard slammed against the wall and its wooden legs began to splinter. The pleasured moans and satisfied yells from Zora and Lora drove Tai to perform longer more powerfully.
"Oh yes… right there Tai… yes." Lora moaned.
"Keep going… Keep going." Zora urged.
"HHuurrng!" Tai grunted as his package was about ready to burst.
"YES TAI, YES, YES YES YES!" they both exclaimed.
Tai continued his fucking more intensely, forcing the nearby night stand to shake until a glass of water was shaken off and fell on the floor, spilling all its liquids on the wooden deck.
"AAAHHHHHhhhhh…" Tai gasped loudly once he reached pleasure perfection.
After a whole day of struggling against the stormy seas, fighting in a death match, and having powerful sex, the snow leopard finally succumbed to exhaustion. He fell onto the bed on his back, brought the blanket up to his stomach and his eyes closed, allowing the ultimate pleasure to drift him to slumber.
((()-()))
Chor Gom Prison. Known by many criminals as the frozen jaws. High in the mountains north of the Valley of Peace, The most sophisticated, deadly and impossible prison was constructed out of the hollow insides of the mountain itself. At the near bottom of the prison, resided its single, only prisoner: the great warrior Tai Lung. Though he was conscious, only rage, wrath and hate swelled in his mind. It was all he could do while encased in a jade tortoise shell, housing various needles that prevented him from aging. How on in the world this was possible, he didn't completely understand it; though he knew it prevented his need for food, water and even sleep. Any lesser man would have gone hopelessly mad within the first few days, let alone the first few years. If not for the warden's mocking reminders of the days, months and years, Tai Lung would have lost all concept of time. All he had was thoughts of rage and betrayal. After twenty five years of training, dedication, service and protection, this was the people of the Valley's gratitude.
Suddenly, he heard the faint sounds of chains moving above. As the seconds passed, they became louder until stopping altogether. The noise of mechanisms releasing rang, followed by a loud thump that shook what little ground the leopard's shell prison stood.
"Behold… Tai Lung."
Tai instantly recognized that deep voice: it was the warden, general Vachir, commander of the Avil of Heaven. A crude rhino, who's arrogance was matched only by his loathsomeness and cruelty.
"You know what, I… I'll just stay here." Said a new voice, one struck with cowardice and fear.
"Don't worry, it's perfectly safe." Said Vachir, before (what sounded like) he pushed the coward forward. "CROSSBOWS, AT THE READY!"
"C-crossbows!?" The coward remarked.
Tai could hear the heavy footsteps of Vachir pacing only a few feet away.
"Hey, tough guy. Oogway's goona give someone the Dragon Scroll and it's NOT gonna be you." He mocked in his gruff and insufferable tone.
"What are you doing!?" Said the weakling. "Don't make him mad!?"
"What' he gonna do? I got him completely immobilized." Vachir said right before slamming his flat, heavy foot on Tai Lung's tail and-
"GGGAAAAHHHhhhh!" Tai gasped as he suddenly woke up.
He rose up from his pillow, his large chest breathed in and out rapidly, his eyes darted from direction to direction and his mind was racing. It took him a moment to realize that he wasn't imprisoned in Chor Gom; he was in bed, on a ship sailing in the middle of the ocean. Looking around, he saw that the cold, dark and snowy mountains were replaced by the orange glow of a distant sunrise. More closely, he found a naked feline woman on both his right and left, sleeping under the luxurious sheets. He remembered the doubled passion he shared in with them the previous night. After calming himself down, he gave a heavy sigh before sitting up with his back against the pillow and headboard of the large bed.
"What's the matter?" Zora asked.
Tai looked to his left and found she had awakened, soon followed by Lora to his right.
"Nothing-" Tai replied. "Just a bad dream."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Lora said. "Maybe a message would make things better."
Lora then placed her paw on Tai's chest, caressing and fondling the snow leopard's large, strong and hard pectorals. She traced her fingers along they're curves, deep cleft line in the middle of his chest and played with his nipples under his beautiful fur coat. Zora did the same with his abs, feeling every hard trained muscle that his stomach featured. He then found they're worship of his ripped body intensely pleasurable. They weren't the first women to lust after him.
"You're so strong and handsome. Are you some kind of ruler?" Zora asked.
"I'm only a warrior for hire." He replied with a smile.
"The greatest in the world, no doubt." Lora complimented as she felt his biceps.
"I couldn't agree more." Tai replied.
He gave a sexy smirk and decided to treat these lovely ladies by flexing his pectorals for them. They felt his chest move and were instantly satisfied.
"So-" He asked. "I'm guessing the previous captain had concubines?"
"Oh, yes, he kept us for a few weeks after leaving a city named Fu Zha. He wanted us to entertain him while on cold nights at sea." Zora explained.
"And he locked two up in here all the time?" Tai asked, ending his flexing.
"Not a first." Lora told. "But soon he became afraid that his men would steal us from him, so other than relieving ourselves when needed, he kept us here."
"Though he barely touched us" Zora added.
"Why?" Tai asked.
"He was a fat pig who didn't have any skills in passsion. He only wanted us to keep him warm… naked of course." Zora then looked deeply into Tai's golden eyes. "But we'd rather belong to you, Tai. You're so handsome and ripped, and so powerfully skilled."
Tai lightly laughed. "I've had good experience in both the battlefield… and the bedroom."
"Clearly" Lora said.
"Once we've reached Xio Dao, I'll see to it you'll be free to go wherever you choose." Tai said.
Sporting surprised faces, Zora asked, "Why would we be free… when we can be yours?"
Lora said, "We want to serve you, master Tai. It's been so long since a real man has taken us in such power. We are already slaves… why not be yours?"
Tai was at a loss for words. The idea of having personal servants of their skill was greatly tempting.
"I'll propose a deal." Tai asked.
"Propose?"
"You want us to be your wives?" Lora asked with delight.
"Not quite." Tai answered, earning a disappointed sigh from the women.
"We have a week until we reach Xio Dao. You may be my slaves for the voyage. Afterwards, I will release you both. But in the meantime, I'll treat both of you beauties to more… powerful performances." Tai offered, followed by a sexy smirk and his pecs flexing again,
With a single glance, both Zora and Lora smiled and answered to their new master with passionate kisses and lustful caresses of his muscles and prideful manhood. Loosing himself in the lust again, Tai Lung took Lora in a manly fashion. He threw the blankets over and began more lovemaking. But as he began to fuck his new consort, the corner of his eye noticed some chains lying on the wooden floor by the bed and his mind forcefully wandered back to Chor Gom.
A small feather landed in front of Tai Lung. Opening his eyes for the first time in days, he used his tail (which was in furious pain) and used it to grab the feather. He knew this was his only way to freedom.
"Oh yes Tai… that's it, that it!" Lora moaned.
"Hhhunngg!" Tai grunted as he sped up his thrusting.
Wasting no time, Tai placed the feather in the mechanism within the turtle shell. Taking extra care, he slightly moved the feather along the lock. His ears flinched upon hearing the small clicks and clacks of-
"Keep going master. Make love to me. YES!" Lora yelled.
Tai continued as sweat began to drench his pecs and abs. His grunting became wilder as the seconds passed.
The needles released, and for the first time in twenty years, Tai Lung felt alive again. He took a deep breath an-
"YES, YES… MORE, MORE… I'M ALMOST-"
Tai mustered all his strength, the needles shot out of the shell, and with all his muscle's might, he burst out of the shell. The jade pieces blasted over the small ground. He dodged crossbow shots, and with some clever, quick thinking, he freed himself of the chains that bounded his arms to hanging boulders below.
"Oh… master… oh… oh…" Lora moaned in satisfaction.
Tai held in his climax and moved to the other side of the bed to please his second slave, Zora. He once again provided powerful lovemaking while she-
Tai leaped from level to level and fought and killed every rhino soldier who foolishly chose to fight. He swung on a chain to hurl himself upwards. Every second could spell his death. His reflexes were lightning fast and sharp. Once-
"Oooo, yes master. Keep going… keep going… your almost there!" Zora moaned.
Tai thrust and fucked while sharing passion fueled kisses as he pleasured her. Zora felt his pecs as-
He climbed the cave walls and slayed every foe until he finally reached the top. And there he was, directly ahead, commander Vachir. He shared a few growls with Tai as the leopard readied himself for-
"Oooh… yes… YES… YEEESSSS!"
"NOW!" Vachir ordered his men.
A rhino guard shot a flaming arrow towards the ceiling of the cave, to where numerous stalagtites were. A loud explosion sounded, and the cave began to collapse.
"OH MASTER… oh… master… oohh…" Zora moaned as she fell on the bed in pleasure.
Though both women found they're release, Tai was yet too. For some reason, he held out. So he laid on his back on the bed and pleasured himself, to be the last on standing. He grabbed-
Focus as he charged towards the only exit. When the bridge broke apart from the falling debris, Tai made a large leap. The remaining rhino warriors gasped before the snow leopard missed. His claws scraped the stone wall as the sounds of Vachir's mocking laughter and the realization of death came into-
"HHUUUNNGGGG!" Tai grunted as he was so, so close to release. He continued on-
With all the strength and skill he had, Tai leaped from falling rock to collapsing stalactite. He spotted a pack of explosives that hadn't been blown yet, but had a lit fuse. Tai made a desperate leap and grabbed onto the final, hanging rock. At first, his claws failed a bit. But determination and rage fueled his body and mind. Climbing to the top he grabbed the explosives-
Prepared himself for the-
Final leap where he threw the bomb towards the rhinos and exit, resulting in a massive explosion that rocked the entire mountain. The huge doors blasted open with rhino guards sent flying everywhere to their deaths. Tai landed and ran outside, away from the collapsing cave. His paws felt the sensation of white snow, both his feet and falling from the air. He was finally, finally free.
"AAAAHHHHhhhhhhh…." Tai gasped loudly.
Once again, the ultimate pleasure recaptured his senses. The sheets were drenched and stained, though that didn't matter anymore. Although Tai should have felt amazed, that pleasure was quickly matched with heavy concern.
"That's the sixth time this week. Why do I keep dreaming about…" He stopped, remembering Zora and Lora were right next to him, though they both fell asleep again. Taking a sigh, Tai knew that he needed food now that it was morning. The same applied to his slaves. Carefully getting out of bed, he searched the captain's dresser and found a dark red pair of pants that would serve him better than his torn and tattered purple shorts. He dressed himself, but kept himself shirtless. After examining his arm would from his battle with the shark he refreshed it with fresh bandages made of the old shorts. After a long day and night, he stepped out of his quarters and searched for a proper meal.
