Hail Primus

The Crow Ordeal

I held up my paw and stopped with Odaira stopping as well. She sensed the feeling as well and went invisible with me. We waited and then a mink anthropomorphic with snow white fur underneath, a tan gold tunic, and tan trousers came up to her door from up the lakeside and knocked. I recognized the creature as Lord Power in another guise of some creature, holding high sense of elder power so that Odaira couldn't see him for what he was truly.
Camyey came to the door and Odaira whispered to me, "What is it, I can't see it for whatever it is. It's not a mink?"
"Indeed it isn't," I whispered back.
We watched the creatures go inside and I closed my eyes hearing their conversation.
"What happened?" Camyey entreated him her voice edgy and nervous.
"Jyiri," the mink said back calmly.
"Oh what happened?" Camyey's voice was even more edgy.
"The news is that he has been attacked, his wife and most of his escort was taken," the mink responded.
"By the Mentors..." Camyey said back trailing off.
"This does put a dent in our final planning. It works out though in the end," Lord Power, as the mink, related.
"Yes. Will we be able to get to talk with him, and make the first step?" Camyey responded and I could hear her sit down.
"That depends on what we have to offer," the mink spoke still near the same place he stopped in the house.
"What do we offer? Hey, I get the feeling... do you know something?" Camyey started.
"I know where his wife is. We have that much going for us," Lord Power told Camyey.
"If he is that powerful then why doesn't he see me at least," Odaira whispered.
"I have you in my shroud of obscurity. Just wait a few minutes now, my Raccoon," I responded to Odaira.
"Why are you telling me to wait a few minutes?" Odaira questioned.
Camyey spoke, "What would the plan be then? Where is she?"
"She is with the Crow brigands westerly. The plan is to wait for a ransom to be put out," Lord Power related.
"I see where you're going. Blackmail. When did you think that would ever work when we've tried it twice before? They'll have us caught before we can make a move in there," Camyey said offhandedly bringing the shuttle back around on her loom and working the threads around.
"If we exercise the right skill and discretion then what's to stop us?" Lord Power returned coming onto the other side of the loom to look through the threads at Camyey.
"Whatever it takes then? I'm not sure I trust what you're doing. But, several of my cluttered Shrouds then?"
"Cluttered shrouds?" Odaira asked me.
"User your insight. They're enchanted cloaks and robes. Nothing more than what we are using," I instructed Odaira and I glanced down her front and noticed she was a bit chubbier, but I didn't do that. I came back up at her as she was watching the inhabitants inside.
She looked at me, "What?"
"I'll tell you later. Ah watch out," I said to her and we saw Power come out the front door again, then he hesitated a moment and looked around blankly. Odaira went still, and then looked up at me but I was watching Lord Power. He looked ahead again normally and we watched him walk away out and up an embankment toward the inside of the city.
"Why didn't you confront him?" Odaira asked.
"Why would I when I can in a few moments? Besides, I would have probably blown him into many different shards. He is not taking to my wishes to tone down the war effort very well," I remarked to Odaira.
We floated down the embankment after him into the level stretch of the main section of town and onto the streets, us still invisible, but Lord Power was not.

Dusknight was over far before when we left Camyey's place. The Spindle Pillar was in its first phase of high glow where it would stay for one portion of the day before entering in peak glare. A direct stare into the Spindle Pillar at an exact point in the day at the exact middle of the day when the Spindle Pillar reached the very tip of the glare was enough to kill any regular creature. Most of the time, no one was out during the later part of the second glare and the first part of the third glare. The best thing to do was to get part of the sleep that the dusknight did not usually allow.
We were all out during that time. Those who saw us nearly yelled at us to be careful but most others felt despair for us for being so reckless and passively watched us walk through the streets. We reached the Town Hall before Lord Power did and came back inside. Gesh had left to find vendor outlets to sell weapons and just to wander around. He was sure to attract attention, but we passed too far south of the market to notice him, and high glow was over. I didn't sense he was caught peak glow. I needed him as somewhat of diversion for the town not to poke around while who they thought was Jyiri was there.
Eckstal, the only creature who didn't mind the mid day traditional sleep time woke everyone else up with a cry as we took off the shroud and she saw Odaira. She embraced Odaira and Odaira laughed beaming back.
"I thought you were... how did you get back?" Eckstal asked.
"I was dead, and the heavenly host that Ias is let me visit us," Odaira reported smiling.
"From where?" Eckstal asked matching her smile uneasily.
Odaira bade her sit down and looked over at me. I came up to the table and we all sat down. Odaira stretched out her hands before you, "I don't want you to go ask Ias to kill all you. Dieing isn't very fun, and I didn't even realize it when it happened, it was so much of a shock. I was a ghost.
I couldn't figure out what to do. I was in some vast darkness. I don't know how many years of your time I wandered around just thinking. I eventually started experimenting, and I made a place like this. Well, not like this. General Hedin had control around here but he was a King and not a dictator, a very nice guy, and I was with him..."
"Not a dictator and nice, ha ha, you have some vivid trials Odaira," Lord Power's voice resounded in the room as he appeared, still a falcon, not mink as he just was.
"Lord Power! You heathen bastard! Look what you did to the poor Ziyvur," Michi hissed at him glaring.
Lord Power ignored him and I shrugged, "I know about what you're doing, Lord Power. I just wish you would have let me address Jyiri and Hedin as I'm doing now. You went out and did it anyway. Are you wanting a different outcome?"
Lord Power looked sourly at me, "You should know."
"Okay then," I said looking around at everyone.
"It's time for lunch isn't it?" Jacob meowed looking over at me.
I looked at him as thoughtfully as I could, "Yes it is. What'll you have?"
Jacob laid back on his chair to my right of the table and said relaxed, "Oh anything. You're Ias right?"
Odaira snickered behind me and Michi made as if to get something out of his eye so looked in a different direction. Eckstal merely looked over at my direction blankly.
I hesitated because Jaze was instantly back behind him rubbing his shoulders which he became even more relaxed and she said calmly, "Anything?"
Lord power had since sat forward eagerly, "I bet you want to be stuffed." I glanced over at him and back to Jaze and Jacob when he spoke this grinning myself.
"Yeah, come to think of it. And where are we going right now?" Jacob mewed sleepily.
"Ah, that's the idea. Anything?" Jaze spoke.
"I bet you could eat some crows couldn't you," Jaze almost whispered.
I knew where this was going from the start but Jacob assented, "A whole mess of 'em."
They both disappeared, startling everyone else except Odaira and Power. Odaira immediately stared into the wall to my left a distant expression on her and disappeared with an, "Oh!"
Lord Power had taken the opportunity and slipped away without anyone seeing. Eckstal said at length, "Something about Crows. Didn't you say...?"
"He did. Well my Lord Ias I'ney. Shall we pick up the pursuit or sit this one out," Michi spoke at length sitting on a wide seat off to the left wall of the hall.
I shifted in my seat and looked over the table, projecting my vision of what was going on with Jaze and Jacob. The vision clouded over and then became clearer than daylight. Jaze was feeding Jacob whole having him sitting leaning up again a tree, the Goddess of Vore at work. I took in what was happening, enjoying it gracefully.
She had indeed been feeding him crows. Jacob wasn't accustomed to full vore but he was half awake and asleep watching Jaze dreamily, under her induced trance. She was feeding him regular two hand length crows and pushing them into his mouth. Each time she did this she tipped his neck up tickling him in the neck until he swallowed, coughing a few times and staring at Jaze even more in wavering unbelief, but he still looked at her gratefully after it passed. He turned on his side laughing a few times and his mass wobbled and wavered as the crows moved around on the inside. He eventually became aroused, very aroused,
I stared at him taking it all in as Jaze was putting a few more crows in one by one a little more faster. Jacob bent forward as best as he could over his round shifting expanding belly. He succeeded in planting a lick on her paw. Jase put a foot paw on his hardening dick and sauntered up the one side of his belly and laying a paw on it she laid another paw on this side of his face looking serious but smiling intently into his face. He opened his mouth to lick at her again, and Michi made a small laugh as she was pushing her head into his mouth and scrambled to push herself in. She used her powers well as a goddess and slid inward so smoothly that there was a squishing gurgle, but not before a big lump and slight struggle by Jacob. He pawed at her, succeeding in pawing at her hindquarters. When his tongue was freed, it came across his rear end as Jaze kicked her feet a second time, the first being when she was just inserted, and an abrupt gurgle sound emitted and the giant extending protrusion in the throat shifted into his stomach.
He immediately tried to sit up clutching his stomach trembling all over, his eyes closed and his tongue between his teeth. He groaned between his now heavy panting, "Oh Jaze... oh Jaze..." His stomach went into involuntary swaying from side to side and I pushed the vision forward and her gleefully wild giggles from the inside. The cat's belly had swollen to a largely extended paunch before him, sagging all outside of his sides slightly, contouring wildly to the inhabitants inside. He brought his hind legs and paws and shifted over to his side whimpering slightly, but suddenly stopped whimpering and instead turned back upward, his arms and legs sprawled out and his dick doubled in size.
"Stuffed," Michi said softly.
Eckstal had meanwhile retreated to the benches along the side of the wall to the other side. She tried not to look and responded, "Force feeding him like that, with animals whole. I'm ashamed at what she's done and you did Ias. I've always been apprehensive about it."
"It's what I do. I don't expect you to come around. I don't expect Jacob to either. He's just satisfied for the moment and will be satisfied for some time," I shrugged to her.
"Ziyvur has been a subject as well as related subjects I've never touched very long, as well as many others," Eckstal remarked folding her arms across her chest.
"Ias, while we're looking out around, might I ask a favor?" Michi broke in.
"What is it Michi?" I asked not really concerned about an interruption.
"Sandis and Sidge, was it? How are they doing?" Michi asked.
I looked over at Eckstal and she shrugged so I spoke, "The crows know they're coming around their south western base. They have halfway houses in many of the towns and bases wherever the terrain permits, whether in the trees as this one is or in the ground. They prefer the trees being Crows."
"Oh the Tyan Pact of Crows. They're a bunch of marauders, thieves, and bandits," Eckstal said, unfolding her arms and letting them fall to her side.
"Sidge and Sandis have eaten some along the way. They already took care of their base south of here in the south most tip, close to the Ezen border. The crows were responsible for killing Wovelmlos, you know," Ias told Eckstal.
The image shifted to the two dragons weaving in about the trees, making their way north. The image split into a separate image of Odaira who had appeared before the sprawled Jacob.
Her voice came in clearly to us sitting around watching the image, "You're very fortunate, Tiger Cat," Odaira said upbeat.
He shook his head, his tongue flopping out of his mouth. He groaned and stirred lightly shifting to the other side and groaning. Odaira stooped down and picked him up onto his feet in one quick motion remarking, "Now stand up. You don't realize you have a goddess in you. You have unlimited power. This is a perfect time to use Ziyvur."
Jacob quaked wavering back and forth with a groan but Odaira kept him from falling over. She lifted her hand and smacked him lightly on the head. He came immediately awake rubbing his head and brushed his ears, twitching them.
"I don't feel so good," He breathed airily.
"You will in a moment," Odaira remarked bringing a paw to his belly.
"Whoa," Jacob responded startled and batted away her paw whereas his belly moved and he groaned whimpering and growled.
"This helps, just put your hands to the sides of your belly and close your eyes. Think soothing thoughts. Then think about those inside you becoming a part of your mind. Easy?"
Jacob took a few moments to look at Odaira but brought his hands to the sides of his belly slowly and placed them there. After a few moments his whole self seemed to shine more in the light of the spindle pillar amongst the interspersed trees.
"Open your eyes for a moment and pick a focal point. Then throw your mind at it, use your paws if you need to point and focus better," Odaira instructed.
A few moments passed and Jacob finally looked out ahead and a crack resounded all around making him jump with a start. The image drew back to show a smoking splinters of a remaining tree stump, jagged in the bottom half of what was left of the tree.
"If you want to defend yourself say, just draw it into your mind again but push it lightly outside of you," Odaira continued.
Jacob nodded, less glassy eyed as before when he first stood up. He pushed his hands out to his side after a few moments, paws facing out, and a slight flash of light showed in the air around him for a split second but disappeared. Odaira stumbled away from him regaining her footing but was now standing several feet away from him. The flicker also caused the nearby trees to visibly bend away from him.
"Good, now your test," Odaira replied and she was instantly standing back beside me leaving Jacob looking around bewildered as to where she went.
"I felt you were looking on us," She remarked causing Michi and Eckstal to jump realizing she was there.
We all looked back on the image because Jacob was wide eyed looking one way off the image. I shifted the image to see a dozen life sized anthropomorphic crows flying in from the north.
"'Sah... oh no," Jacob remarked and looked about quickly. He shrugged eventually and turned toward the advancing crows.
