Story 6: Forest God's Gift (satyr)(m/m)

Satyr

Forest god's gift

Every few years a person from the town I lived at would be 'gifted' to the forest god. We all knew the forest god was a Satyr, those who entered his realm never returned. This year it was me, who was voted to be the gift. Not that I minded I never felt welcome there, I still didn't want to be given to someone though.

I was escorted to the entrance to the gods realm, before I had a chance to turn back they shoved me through the doorway, then threw my bag behind me. Grabbing my bag I heard their laughter as they walked away, standing up I started to walk deeper into the forest. Beyond the entranced I noticed how vibrant and full of life the forest looked, especially for how early it was just after dawn.

I didn't know where I was going but the view was so pleasing I didn't care that I was getting lost. I found a stream and sat down, rummaging through my bag I took out my sandwich as well as my flute. I removed the cloth wrapping from my food and began to eat, the sound of the stream was so relaxing I felt like I was drifting to sleep. Suddenly I heard a rustling that was getting closer, I stood up and tried to see where it was coming from. Looking in all directions I couldn't see anything dangerous, and then the rustling stopped replaced by an eerie silence.

"Hello there, welcome to your new home" a voice behind me spoke.

Spinning around I came face to face with the forest god. A satyr known to me as Pan, he was good looking, green eyes, shoulder-length black hair, cream skin, light stubble, horns that bent backwards, above his waist he was human. Below his waist was that of a goat, light brown fur and a huge erection. Why wasn't he wearing clothes? I thought to myself.

Startled by his sudden appearance I stumbled back, tripping over a rock before stumbling to the ground. I tried to stand up but slipped again on a wet patch of moss, he laughed before a root lifted me off the floor.

"What is your name?" he asked.

"Y/N" I replied.

"You are as skittish as a cat" he laughed sitting on a log.

I didn't say anything just sat there silently looking at him. Pan was staring at me with a huge grin on his face.

"You don't want to be here I can tell. Why don't we have a game, if you can make it until sundown you are free to go. If you don't make it and I catch you, you have to stay with me and for one week you will have to wear no clothes" he said.

The thought of leaving was exciting and I had to take it.

"I accept your terms" I said.

I stood up and got ready to leave but was stopped.

"Wait, lets make it more fun" he smiled then waved his hand.

I opened my eyes to see he was a giant, looking down I saw cats paws then he told me I looked cute as a cat. Panicked I shot away from him and ran deeper into the forest away from Pan, being a cat made the forest seem enormous and I was in awe until I heard his voice.

"Here I come, scaredy cat!" he taunted.

For hours I was able to dodge him, often by ducking under branches or even diving into burrows. Right now I was jumping trees catching my breath, I heard a branch snapped and spotted Pan climbing with a stupid grin on his face. In shock I leaped over to another tree almost missing the branch, pulling myself up I started off running again.

It was a few minutes before sunset and I had successfully dodged Pan, I found the boarder he spoke of but I think he was fibbing. I leapt for the stones feeling the wind blow through my fur, I felt free, until I felt a pair of hands grab me. Looking down I saw Pan smiling widely, he brought me to his face then whispered "got you!"
