Chapter One.

 

Dive was sitting in the council room of the Black Dove alone, his mistress Charlotte was in the main hall with her older sister. Dive was thinking about the Ducks, but who he really missed was his older brother very much and he wished that he had another Flashblade to talk with that could understand the violence that he lived with after going after one of the Marks who decided to go away from the Black Dove.

“Hey kid, looks like you need to talk to someone,” spoke a voice coming from the doorframe.

Dive turned to see Darren leaning against the frame of the door. He cracked a big smile. “Just the drake I was wanting to see,”

“Oh, why is that?” Darren asked. He cocked an eyebrow as he walked into the room and took one of the seats yanked it around so he could use the back as an arm rest before he sat down in it.

“You . . . have dealt death to people before, right, Darren?” asked Dive.

“Yes, Kasar permits me the honor of killing the pages and servants who don’t commit suicide after their Immortal masters are slain by him.” Darren stated. He looked at the young drake seriously. He could tell why Kasar told him to go visit Dive in the realm of the Doves. “Why do you want to know?”

“I just need an ear of someone who had to live with this type of violence to talk with,” Dive said, sadly.

“How about I get you someone who lived life in violence done to him by his own brother?” Darren said.

“You mean . . . your grandnephew Shasta?” asked Dive.

“Yes, I’ll get him right now. I will not be too long before I bring him here for you to talk with.” Darren pulled out his teleporter and opened a gate to the Negaverse and walked into the gate.

Dive sat there puzzled, Darren was up to something, but unfortunately since Darren was mortal and a Flashblade, he could get away with it. Besides he had heard that Shasta looked a lot like him.

Darren quickly scanned the area that he appeared in, he knew how far away Shasta’s home was. Without any delay, he headed for Shasta’s home hoping to find him there with his new girlfriend since Britney, who was Mallory’s lookalike decided to take up with another drake. That betrayal had hurt Shasta, but she wanted to get away from the memories of being Cain’s slut and bitch. Darren knocked on his door hoping he was there, if not he could go try the bars or the what restaurants was open at that hour.

The sounds of footsteps came closer to the door as the door swung open fast, there standing there was Shasta in his PJ bottoms. “I knew you couldn’t . . . oh hi Uncle Darren,” Shasta said, shocked to see him standing there.

“Hello Shasta,” Darren smiled. "I have a favor to ask of you, Shasta, and it may be one you will like."

Shasta looked at him, looked around and yanked him into the house. “What kind of favor?”

“The kind that will give you a place to call home with people who will consider you like family like I do,” Darren said.

“Then, why can’t I live with you?” Shasta asked.

“I’m sorry son, but I can’t a member of the MiB cannot have family. I would love to take you but I have someone who is need of someone to talk to. I think you might be just that drake for him to talk to,” Darren replied, placing his hand on his shoulder.

“So what’s his problem, Darren? Can’t he go to his mom or dad about it?” Shasta asked.

“Well, his folks are dead and if he went back to Earth to visit his older brother, his sister in law Kala will know who and what he is and will freak her out and may ruin his relationship with his brother. His name is Nosedive Flashblade. He looks like you but less hardened by abuse done to him. He needs someone to talk to about his role as a Dove’s Shadow.” Darren informed him.

"So you want me to comfort him?"

Darren shook his head. "More like guide him so he doesn't get himself depressed too much."

“So what is his role as this . . . Dove’s Shadow?” Shasta asked.

"He's the Black Dove’s sword, a living weapon that enforces order."

“So why is he so in need of a guide, Darren?”

“He needs to talk to someone other then the Black Dove or his mistress the other Dove’s Shadow Charlotte. Do you want to go and see him?”

“Okay, just for a little while, Darren.” Shasta said, as he looked at him.

Darren nodded and turned his teleporter on to open a gate to the council chambers where Dive should be at. Darren waited for Shasta to walk in before following behind him. Once, on the other side, Darren saw Dive standing there starring at Shasta and Shasta was doing the same. “Dive meet Shasta. Shasta meet Dive.”

Shasta raised a brow and grinned mischeviously. "I don't see the resemblance."

Dive walked up next to him and looked at him. “Darren, I don’t see the resemblance between Mr. Softie here and myself.”

Shasta's eyes quickly narrowed and pinned Dive to the wall. "I'm anything but soft, it's kill or be killed kid, the weak just end up as corpses."

Dive lunged at him and pins him to the wall with a dagger in his shirt and one pointed right at Shasta’s chest. “It’s the same here, kid. Expect the unexpected.”

Shasta looked shocked at Dive, his eyes showed none of what had happened a few seconds before. “How did you manage to pin me? No one but Cain could do that when I successfully pin them to the wall.”

“By Dove training, Shasta. Darren, I don’t think you have to worry about him no more. He’s perfect for my world!” Dive said, looking at Darren as he backed away from Shasta putting his daggers away.

Darren grinned. "I thought you two would get along, besides it gives you both someone to talk to that understands."

Dive smiled. Shasta looked at him. “So what do you mean I’m perfect for your world, Dive?”

“Meaning I want you to become a Dove like myself.” Dive said, looking at him.

Darren smiled as he knew something was going to happen like this by the call he got from Kasar about Shasta finding his place in a new world.

Shasta shrugged. "All depends on what's in it for me."

“Well, you will get a rank similar to the Flashblades here, maybe a merchant rank since it doesn’t have to deal with visiting ranks and those who are causing problems for the Black Dove and slaughtering them when they do not go back to the rules and stay their course that they are doing.” Dive said. “Other things like a good home and people who see you as a precious gem.”

“I’ve lived too long in kill or be killed, don't think I could settle into a quiet life."

“I could get you a place as a Shadow but I would need to talk with Lolita about it first.” Dive said, as he stepped out of the council room and found a runner to get a message to Lolita to return to the council room, he needs to talk to her.

~~~~~~~~

Lolita was talking with Charlotte when the runner came up to her bowed and whispered in her ear. “He wants me to meet him in the council room right now?”

“Yes, ma’am.” The runner said.

Lolita got down from her chair and headed for the council room with Charlotte behind her. She pushed open the doors to see a shocking sight before her – there was two Dives in the room. One she knew by sight and the other was different more harder edged then her Dive. “Dive?”

“I brought him here, Lola.” Darren spoke, stepping into view of them.

Lolita gave him a nasty look. "Flashblade or not, get lost, you are still a servant of the Immortals."

Darren gave her a mock hurt look. "See you around Lolita."

Dive watched as Darren walked out of the room leaving Shasta there. “Lolita, this is Shasta Flashblade, a counterpart of mine from the Negaverse where Darren originally came from. I want him to be a part of the Doves,”

"He's got the presence of a weapon, but a bit rough around the edges. He’ll be fine, though in need of some training and polishing his edges and making them as sharp as possible."

“I was hoping you agreed with me. He can be my long lost twin, since I really don’t have a twin here.” Dive said, looking at her.

“Everyone would know he’s not from this universe, Dive. We can state the truth about where he came from.” Lolita said.

Charlotte was walking around Shasta. “Nice ass, he has. He can do quite well in our ranks. The ladies will love his rugged looks,” Lolita smirked. "The hell and back look in his eyes is rather appealing."

Lolita agreed. "But I though your preference was Dive, Charlotte?"

"Oh it is, but Shasta's not bad looking drake either."

“Well, thanks but I don’t date married ducks. My own girl dumped me for another drake and a married one at that too,” Shasta snapped angrilly.

Lolita chuckled. "My little sister and I aren't married, Charlotte is Dive’s mistress, Sassy is his wife."

“And Sassy is okay with this?” Shasta asked.

“She has no idea that I am fucking Charlotte and if she does and wants her out of the way, she can’t because Charlotte will kill her and assume her place as my mate and future mother of my offsprings.” Dive said.

Shasta looked at Lolita. “And you don’t have any lovers?”

“I did once, a long time ago but he was not to be the one who would warm my bed at night or in the morning,” Lolita replied.

“You are without descendants, then?” asked Shasta.

"In a way, that sums it up."

“So she’s the next Black Dove then, when you pass on?” Shasta asked, throwing his thumb over to Charlotte.

"Her, and if not her, then Dive, and if neither, if my cousin has a child then them if not then Kester."

“And Kester is who’s duckling?” asked Shasta.

“He’s my son, Shasta.” Dive said. “By Sassy. Charlotte would have loved to have granted me a son.”

“So, why doesn’t she?”

"Like my sister, I don't have a genetic match."

“So you both are barren worthless ducks, then?” Shasta stated.

Charlotte growled, as she pulled out her weapon. “We may be barren but we are not worthless, you piece of shit drake!”

Dive went quick to her and wrapped his arms around her to keep from attacking Shasta. “Calm down, sweetie.”

“I will not! He insulted my sister and myself! His blood . . . no, his head must come off!” She roared.

Shasta smiled. “I see you two are really not worthless after all, if you have that spunk to defend yourselves like that even if you are unable to have offsprings.”

Lolita remained calm. "I'm fine with that assumption, but barren isn't the case, simple fact is that no male is able to fertilize our eggs, we can carry and produce but only if there is an acceptable male."

“Then, why not see if his sperm can make her have babies. She’s young and probably has some valid eggs in her waiting for that lucky seed to break the shell and start the cycle of new life,” Shasta suggested.

“I tried that with his seeds, Shasta and sadly the egg didn’t take the sperm. I would love to grant him an offspring but my body cannot allow it.” Charlotte said.

“And you still love him?” asked Shasta.

“Yes, if I was able to have offsprings and his seed matched, I would have him as my mate and his wife would become his mistress.” Charlotte stated.

“Strange custom but quite interesting too,” Shasta replied.

"Not strange, on a whole the Dove people find it to their advantage, it's always good to make sure that there will always be a McDove or a Flashblade who will rule since they will also pay the price that protects the Doves from greater powers."

“And that would be?” asked Shasta.

“Their immortal soul.” Dive informed him. “Lolita loses her immortal soul when she dies as does Charlotte and myself if either of us two become the next Black Dove.”

“You sacrifice a great deal for your people. Do they love you that much that you would do that for them?” asked Shasta.

“Yes and I love them that much to die with honor and knowing that I am still protecting my people from the Guardians.” Lolita stated calmly.

“Wow, my brother Cain would never do that, he would kill someone else to take his place,” Shasta replied.

“From what I heard from Darren, he deserves nothing less then death by impalement,” Dive said. “So is he dead yet?”

“Yes, he is. Slain by a Dawn Flashblade,” Shasta stated. “She said something about sending her dog Flit or Fang after him and he killed him.”

"Actually those two belong to a friend of the family," Dive commented. "Hate to be on the wrong end of those two."

“So do you know Dawn? She said that she was the daughter of this universe’s Wing and Kaladan.” Shasta asked.

“Yes, she’s my neice but now the Guardian of Peace and Harmony. She’s not very welcomed here but I bet she knows you are here in our realm.” Dive said.

Shasta wondered why and then it came to him. “She’s not allowed because of her status as a Guardian, correct?”

"Exactly." Dive said with a smile.

“But what if she decides to become what her family line ditates?” Shasta said.

Lolita pulled out a necklace of a Dove with the Flashblade’s symbol on it. “Then, whoever is Black Dove at the time she decides to throw off her Guardian ties and become a Dove, the Black Dove will give her this and then tattoo her as a Dove Flashblade making her impossible to kill with magic to all Guardians.”

"That would spite them quite a bit. Though do you honestly think she will."

“I don’t know, she is very loyal to her family and to those she considers close to her heart. It would have to be something huge for her to turn her back to the Guardians like say the death of someone she loves.” Dive said.

"You never know, a Flashblade is still a Flashblade." Charlotte said with a grin.

“No matter, where she goes, her name will follow her and even when she marries, she will still be a Flashblade, no matter who her husband may be, she is of my brother’s line – strong and devoted to family, just like he is.” Dive added.

Shasta raised a brow. "So your Wing, is the polar opposite of my Cain?"

“Yeah,” Dive nodded.

Lolita looked at Shasta. “How would you like to become a Mark under Dive?”

"And what is a Mark, pray tell?"

Lolita smiled. "Marks are Dove area Lords in small Dove community zones outside of Dove territories, they’re in charge of keeping things in order."

“In a way, like mayors or governors?” asked Shasta.

“Charlotte, go get Rowain. Tell him to get his ass here pronto.” Dive said, looking at Charlotte before he turned back to Lolita. “Rowain will be able to tell you more about it . . . since he is one.”

"I'm guessing it's different then the internal end?" Shasta asked.

"Yeah it is, some of the rules are a bit different."

“So this Rowain will be able to explain it to me better?”

“Yes, and probably will want to take you under his wing to give you the best training possible,” Lolita said. “After all, he is my cousin.”

"So he's the one responsible for making sure there is another Black Dove then?"

“Yes, if Kester dies before there is another born, he will become the next Black Dove only if he takes his true last name,” Lolita stated.

"Sounds like you don't want him to."

"I don't, we had an agreement, but an idiot Saurian messed it all up, so he's not to carry the burden."

“This idiot Saurian goes by the name of Dragaunus, does he?” asked Shasta.

"That would be him, also a very lousy lover."

Shasta roared with laughter. “Oh I heard his wife talk about how good he was in bed! Now this is a change!”

"I've had better, but then again my standards are much higher. Big but never knew how to really use it."

“Well, Avarna loved him and his member. She gave him a daughter by the name of Saya but she was killed by Cain, practically raped her brutally with a hot poker and then impaled her anally, while he raped her till she was cold and threw her body out and let her father collect the poor child.” Shasta stated.

"Your Cain is a beast without chains to keep him under control, even my living weapons know how far they can go before being nothing more then a tool and a beast."

“The one thing that I am glad is that he was killed by Dawn’s family’s friend’s pet. The remaining male Ducks that were evil was then slain by Darren’s girlfriend Warstrike and Dawn killed my world’s Grin.” Shasta stated.

“And what of the females?” Charlotte asked.

“They have gone their own paths, good or not, I no longer care.” Shasta replied, calmly. “Now what about females here? Once married, are they loyal to their husband or do they cheat?”

"Loyal as a rule, unless there are agreements, or in Dive’s and your case, the white band law which prefers you Drakes to have multiple mates. Same goes for a female under the white band law."

“So Dive and myself can have as many females as we want under this white band law?” asked Shasta.

Charlotte nodded. “As many as you can handle easily, Shasta. Some males prefer five mates since that will give them couple of days to revive him.” She said, pointing to Shasta’s crotch.

Shasta nodded. “So some of them do go sex crazied for a bit and then they get busy with what they are supposed to be doing?”

“Correct. So are you interested in becoming a Mark?” asked Lolita.

“After this Rowain comes here and explains it fully to me. I’ll give you my decision if that is alright with you?” Shasta stated.

“That is alright with me. Rowain should be here shortly, if he decided to gate it here or jet over,” Lolita said.

“I’ll go check the gate to see if he is coming from there, sis.” Charlotte stated, as she headed out of the room to the gate room.

"I'll go with you," Dive said as he followed Charlotte. Which left Shasta and Lolita alone together.

"Why did you make me that offer?"

"Because there are very few Flasblades right now, regardless of which universe you are from, you are like Dive, which means you will be good among us, more importantly you've faced the worst and are still alive, a Negaverse is a very deadly place."

Shasta nodded. "You also said you were fine with people thinking you were barren, so that means you have children."

"Good, you caught it, my children are raised as Suscans, because I thought it best."

Shasta smirked. "I think I'm starting to like you."

Lolita smiled. “I think you would do good here, Shasta.” A sound came from the door as she turned to the door to see a purple haired, chestnut feathered Raptrin standing there. “Shasta Flashblade meet my cousin Rowain Ringdove. Rowain meet Shasta. I am hoping he’ll become a Mark.”

Rowain walked over to him looked at his face and then walked around him. “He’s rough, not shiny like Dive, but in time I think he can become a diamond. So do you know what a Mark does, Shasta?”

“Not exactly. Something to do with being a mayor or a governor.” Shasta stated.

"A Mark, is the leading authority in our '<i>embassies</i>', if someone steps out of line, we deal with it. If there is a situation, we organize our resources quickly and deal with it efficiently, if ever there is a major combat situation, we are the weapons called into battle. But the worst of it has to be the paperwork, it's the torture of the position."

“I see, where does a Mark usually live at?” asked Shasta.

"Within their area that they control."

“So where do you reside at?”

“Raven’s Court, in Keltor. I am also the headmaster of the school for the Doves as well as the head of the Dove Embassy there.” Rowain stated. “Plus I am a police officer in the Keltor Police Department.”

"Sounds like a busy life."

"Not overly, like I said, the worst part is the paperwork."

“Lasts all night?”

“Sometimes, it feels like it, Shasta. But it takes up maybe about three hours in the evening before I retire for the night.” Rowain stated.

"Sounds dull and dry."

Rowain nodded. "Sheer torture."

“Living in the Negaverse is torture when you are a good guy. You try not to get killed,” Shasta stated. “Living here as a Mark shouldn’t be that bad off.”

“Then, are you accepting my cousin’s offer?”

“I don’t see why not. It would probably be better then living a quiet life,” Shasta replied.

Dive looked at him and smiled. “You will most likely be under Rowain’s guiding hand or maybe even myself if Lolita says where you would go to get your teachings from.”

Dive, Shasta, Rowain and Charlotte looked at Lolita. “Well, sis? Where will he go to get his Mark training from?”

“I need to see how you fight first. The workout room.” Lolita stated, as she led them to the workout room where couple boys were dueling with sharpened daggers before they stopped and bowed to her. “Shasta, fight them both. To the death.”

Shasta raised a brow. "I'm allowed? Won't their parents mind?"

“Their parents are Marks that strayed from the path of the Doves and they were slain, they live till I decide that they don’t no more.” Lolita spoke looked at him. “You are not afraid to kill young boys, Shasta?”

"No, though I don't like to kill without reason."

"Don't worry, they'll be trying to kill you in order to survive."

Shasta looked at her and then to Dive. “Did you . . .?”

“Yes, I had to slay a boy with my sword about ten . . . fifteen years back. I didn’t feel really comfortable doing that since the first time I killed was with poison.” Dive said.

Shasta nodded. "But it's kill or be killed, not matter how innocent the opponant may look."

“Well, this Saurian prince was a flat out asshole and insulted Lolita and myself a few times before I got some poison and put it in his glass and killed him. I didn’t like him and by how Lolita acted she despised the ass.” Dive said, as he pulled out couple of the swords that hung on the wall and held them to him. “Or pick your weapons of choice.”

Shasta looked at the two swords in Dive’s hands, shook his head before heading to the weapons rack, he scanned all of the weapons that was on the rack. He smirked as he picked up half a dozen small throwing daggers and placed them within their sheaths and wrapped it around his body ready to be grabbed when needed. “I have what I want to use. Now do we fight here or somewhere else?”

“You fight here within this room, Shasta.” Rowain stated.

“Okay. Bring it on boys, your life or mine.” Shasta said, looking at the two boys.

The boy gave him a shifty bored look, no one really fought with throwing daggers. He made his first lunge at him in hopes of nailing him but Shasta just side stepped and the boy felt pain in his stomach muscles as he looked down to see Shasta’s hand and a hilt of a dagger poking from his stomach with blood trickling from it. He looked up shocked that he managed to get a dagger in his stomach. The boy looked over at the other boy to find the boy on the ground with three daggers in his throat and one in his heart, he dropped to his knees, coughed hard as globs of blood came from his beak to the ground and his last breath came out in a gasp as he collapsed onto the workout floor at Shasta’s feet.

Shasta grinned. "That was just too easy."

Rowain’s eyebrow was raised as usually going against two boys at once would have given him a sweat – Shasta was dry as can be. There was no sweat on his bill or face. “You fought with those before haven’t you?”

"Yeah, they've been my main weapon of choice since I was young."

Rowain smiled. “He’ll be in my region. I could always use a Flashblade in my region.”

"But you are the Mark of Raven's Court, two Marks is not wise."

"No but I've been split between Raven's Court and Silent Wind in DuCaine Metro. Since you had a Mark overstep their authority there. I can train him and he can take over Silent Wind."

“Are you sure you can handle training him, Rowain?” asked Charlotte.

“Charlotte, if he is anything like Dive, I know he will make us all proud, even that servant of the immortal will be pleased with his placement in our ranks.” Rowain stated, calmly.

Dive smirked. "Charlotte do not think badly of Darren, he's one of the few mortals in Limbo who can hold his own against an Immortal."

Shasta nodded. "Even I look up to old Darren. His skill is something I can only dream of reaching."

Rowain placed his hand on Shasta’s shoulder. “But learning under me, you might get to his level of skill. Lolita, he’ll need the Dove brand of the Flashblades done as soon as possible. We do not want him unmarked or unprotected to the whims of the Guardians.”

Lolita nodded, “I'll have it within the next day or so, it should be different from Dive’s because Shasta is not the same as Dive, despite all they do have in common."

Rowain nodded. "I'm guessing Flashblade with Negaverse twist right?"

"Yeah, Negaverse has a different genetic quirks, like its Drakes go into the Lust instead of females."

“Wow, so how long does that last for them? Not just a day?” asked Rowain.

“How about one week of pure sexual hunger?” Shasta stated. “I’m fertile during that time.”

Rowain just shook his head. “We get horny whenever we smell our females in their Lust mode. You would have to hook up with a female during that time to get her with duckling, Shasta.”

Shasta shrugged. "Guess the thing with a few females may be best."

Rowain nodded. “I guess you probably want to get cleaned up and rested before the branding happens.”

Shasta looked at himself. “Yeah, I do need to get cleaned up and rested before the . . . branding happens tomorrow.”

Rowain snickered. "Not as bad as it sounds, follow me and I'll show you to a guest room."

“Thank you, Rowain.” Shasta waited till Rowain walked past him before following him to a room where he washed the daggers he withdrew from the boys’ bodies making sure that there was no damage to them before he dried them off and sheathed them in their sheaths. He looked at the bathtub and filled it with running water before he removed his clothes and tossed them on the bed.

Rowain went and got some fresh clothes that would most likely fit the young Drake. He picked up the Negaverse clothes and admired them but he knew the clothes that he gave to him would be better. He placed them on hangers and put them up in the closet and knocked on the bathroom door. “Shasta, I brought some extra towels for you.”

"Thanks, Rowain." Shasta paused. "Why aren't there many servants here?"

"Lolita's preference, just what is nessesary since she lives to be able to be as informal as she can."

“She’s self serving to herself, so she needs no servants to serve her or anyone else,” Shasta said.

"She's more Suscan then Dove, her mother was the head of a trade fleet, only ever one servant and the person everyone expects to make things run smoothly."

Shasta nodded as he grabbed the bar of soap and started to rub it into the washcloth and started to wash his back with some minor trouble. He didn’t hear the sounds of clothes being removed or anything.

"Need some help?" Rowain asked.

"Yeah, it's been a while since I've been able to have this good of a scrub."

Rowain took hold of the washcloth and the soap, got it lathered good before he started to wash his back. He was shocked to find so many scars on his back. “Did your brother do these?”

Shasta glanced back. “Yeah, his favorite thing to do is stab me or slice me up and drink my blood. But I faked him out by doing a drug that was really sleeping pills to get away from him.”

Rowain said nothing, he could understand where Shasta was coming from, since his own father and brothers were pretty twisted, he's have been too if it wasn't for his cousin. "I'm glad you managed to not loose yourself, it's hard when those you call family are messed up in the head."

Shasta leaned into the scrubs that Rowain did on his back. “Do you have mates, Rowain?”

"I have, one is political, the other is more of a love match."p>

“So who is the lucky Duck?” asked Shasta.

"Lady Nighthawk is my political match but Kara Nightdove is my love match. Why do you ask?"

“I was just curious . . . sorry I even asked.” Shasta said, turning his face to the wall.

Rowain smiled. "I don't take offense," he said gently. "Do you like both genders? It's not uncommon."

“I have taken both genders before, I perfer females though. But if a guy catches my eye, I’ll pursue him till he’s under me screaming out my name as I thrust deep within him.” Shasta said, as he took notice of Rowain’s free hand stroking his erection under the water. “You also take to other genders too?”

“Yes, if I find a male that catches my eye, I pursue him like I would a female.” Rowain stated, as he started to really stroke Shasta’s member till it exploded with his seeds into the water. Shasta grasped the metal rod on the wall as he moaned in pleasure, his erection was still hard after that release. Rowain smiled as he stepped into the bathtub with Shasta letting him feel his naked form against his and his own thick erection against the crack of his ass as he felt Rowain’s finger caress his entrance before sliding into him and stroking him and making sure he could take him.

Shasta gasped as he felt Rowain’s member enter him, he had never been a bottom except when Cain used him. Rowain’s touch and force of member in him was gentle and weak at the same time, Rowain gave pleasure as much as he took. He leaned as Rowain’s rythem increased, and spilled his own seed as Rowain came in him. “Do you do this with you’re your Marks?”

"Not really, you seem more kindred, then they do. Its something I find appealing about you."

“So when was your first time that he took you?” Shasta asked.

“When I was seven,” Rowain said without realizing that he said it. He never really spoke about his abuse that he took as a child before to anyone not even his wife or Kara. He looked at Shasta, expecting to see sorrow but he saw understanding. “How old were you when he did you?”

“I think I was a little younger then you, five I believe. He was nine when he forced himself into me.” Shasta stated.

Rowain cringed. "Never pleasant, but one at some point, one just gets use to the abuse, who was your shoulder for comfort? Mine was Lolita."

“It was Britney before she went off with another drake and fucked him in our bed. I thought I meant something to her but I guess I was wrong.” Shasta stated, as he leaned against Rowain, who’s fingers wandered over his taunt belly.

“And tell me who would she be in our Ducks?” Rowani asked.

“I guess you would call her Mallory, Britney had red shiny hair, green eyes and a total cock whore. When Cain wasn’t beating me up, she would have me deep within her pumping viciously within her.” Shasta replied, not noticing the tenseness in Rowain when he heard that. “What’s wrong?”

“My first love was a female Duck by the name of Mallory. She also had red shiny hair and green eyes and a sharp as nails personality, wouldn’t do anything out of the book had to do almost everything by the book.” Rowain said.

"So did she leave you for another drake."

“Not really, she left my side to go against Dragaunus to free her people and I reluntantly let her go with the promise that she would return to me and be my wife and mother to my children. But Draggy went and opened his dimensional gate and left Puckworld and took the strike force with him,” Rowain replied. “She fell in love with Duke and married him.”

"That sucks," Shasta said as he nuzzled Rowain.

"It's alright, things worked out."

“So are you and she still on good terms?” asked Shasta.

“Yes, but not many people know our real connection,” Rowain said, as he stood up from the cold tub and grabbed a towel to hand to Shasta as he grabbed one for himself.

“And that would be?” asked Shasta.

“That is between me and her, thank you very much.” Rowain said with a smile, as he picked up his clothes and headed into the chambers with Shasta behind him, rubbing down his body.

~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, Shasta awoke comfortably in Rowain’s arms.

"Morning sleepy head."

Shasta looked up at Rowain. "It's too damn early."

"Early or not, there are things that need to be done."

Shasta realized that this was the day he would be marked. “So what would my mark look like?”

"I’m not sure, but you've seen mine, they are a bit sensitive when first getting them but it passes, and it'll protect you from outside magic."

“From the ones that Dawn comes from?” asked Shasta.

“Yes, even her magic will not work around you. You will be immune to their magics and if one faces you, it would be by sword to daggers.” Rowain stated, as he pulled on his shirt and buttoned it.

Shasta smiled as he pulled on his pants, leaving his shirt last to be pulled on. “That’s the way I like to fight a little outnumbered. I get a good workout that way and the ladies seem to like seeing a handsome drake like myself covered in sweat and blood.”

Rowain grinned. "You'd like an old friend of mine, a Saurian by the name of Natasha.”

“She likes that in Ducks or Suscans?” Shasta asked.

“And Raptrins, which I happen to be, Shasta. But to answer your question, yes, she would probably consider you a possible nighter in her tent.” Rowain stated. “She always tried to get me in her tent for one of her famous nighters, but I wasn’t interested in her in that way.”

"Was she not that attractive?"

"I had my interest's elsewhere, but she is quite attactive if you are looking for a good strong lady."

Shasta looked very interested in her. “Think she would find me interesting?”

Rowain ran his eyes over him once again, even though he knew how good he was at getting a male off he probably could make her cum within seconds of fondling her. “She probably would be puddy in your hands with one of your fondlings of her clit. You had me weak in the knees last night.”

"Your skill was exception, I've never been taken like that and cum so many times." Shasta said with a grin.

“I think Natasha will like you very much. You are just enough rough that she will get off on you. Come, Lolita is waiting for us.” Rowain said, as he led him out of the guest room and towards dining room where Dive, Charlotte and Lolita was waiting for them to arrive. “Sorry, we’re late. Woke up a bit slow this morning.”

Lolita smiled as she watched as they took their seats before giving the signal to start eating. She reached for the fruit platter which she usually had for breakfast took some before passing it down to Dive who took some and passed it on. “After we eat the brand will the placed on Shasta.”

“Have you figured out what kind of marking he will have and where it will be located at, Lolita?” asked Rowain, who took some fruit and gave the platter to Shasta who took the last of the fruit on it.

"I've figured out the mark, it's similar to Dive’s, but the black Dove in it will have white feather tips. As for where, I figured you'd know better then I this morning."

"Shasta's back would be a good place for it."

Lolita nodded. “That will be marked down in his papers where it is located at and any other scars will have to be duely noted as well.”

Shasta looked at Rowain questioningly. Rowain smiled. “It is for ID purposes only. If you by chance lose your memories or that someone claims to be you, all we have to do is check for your tattoo and your scars and we will know if it is you or an imposter.”

Shasta nodded. "Makes perfect sense to me, it would be very difficult to completely imitate a person to that detail."

"Downright impossible, even Lolita has her scars logged for ID purposes."

“And what about you, Rowain?” asked Shasta.

“All of mine are marked down too. I’m also valuable to the higher ranks not to have my scars logged for ID reasons alone. Even the ones I get from the tournaments are added into my records, if there is any scars.” Rowain stated.

"So are Dive’s as well I suppose."

Dive nodded with his mouth full of fruit then swallowed. "An imposter in the higher ranks is dangerous because they will use to steal artifacts or try to use information that they obtained against us."

“And that is bad, correct?” Shasta asked.

"Very bad, the average outsider would take too much the wrong way."

“And that would cause conflicts and you prefer not to have any.” Shasta replied as he cut into the fruit he had and ate it as he looked at Lolita and Rowain.

“That is correct,” Lolita said, as she looked at him. “My country likes its peaceful ways. We do not get into much warfare with anyone and when we do, it is swift and to the point and we are the victors.”

"So you really don't make that many enemies in that sense."

“Not many but to those people who do not understand our ways, we seem to be barbaric and cruel.” Charlotte stated.

"Well to me it's still a step up from the Negaverse."

"Maybe, but can be just as harsh." Rowain said as they all finished eating.

~~~~~~~~

Shasta had expected his marking to be more public, but it was just the four of them in what seems like a recreational room. Lolita seems to be programming in his crest to an odd looking device. She nodded to Rowain, who came to his side and removed his shirt and then Dive went to his other side and held his arm as Lolita came walking behind him and on his left shoulder blade she placed the device on his skin, burning the crest and everything else into his skin and DNA. She had expected more screams from him but he only gave one before he went silent and stood there as it happened.

It hurt like hell, but it also made it final, there was no turning back. Cain had always told him he'll always be a nothing, and at most someone's thing to use and abuse. He belonged to the Doves now, but as a person, someone who would be looked up to, Cain was wrong, he really was worth something now, and he'd do his best to improve on his worth within the Doves.

Rowain placed an ice cold towel on the burn as Shasta leaned into the pressure. “When you are ready to leave after we get some new clothes for you, Shasta, we can jet back to Keltor and start your Mark training.”

Shasta nodded. "How'd you gain your worth, Rowain?"

"By never giving into those who thought of me as worthless. Though I also killed them as well, my siblings, and my father."

Shasta nodded. “I hope I can prove my worth to you and the others.”

“Shasta, you already proved your worth to us.” Lolita stated, looking at him. “Now we must find you a mate.”

“Give me some time to get my status as the new Mark of the Flashblade and then we will talk mates . . . okay?” Shasta asked.

Rowain nodded. "If you ever want to spend another night together, don't hesitate."

Shasta smiled and kissed him right on the beak before going to his neck and making a mark there, before he started to drag him out of there asking, “Which way to the airfield? We have training to do.”

All Rowain could hear was laughter coming from the recreational room. But he was smiling himself.

 

Stay tuned, the next one is coming.
