WHERE DID YOU FIND MY JOURNAL

It's good to be the Arishok
And finally, the greatest story ever told:
To Sumbit (sic)by ~carrioncorpse
The Arishok stared down at
Saemus Dumar for what seemed like an eternity. He finally shifted his
heavy body, leaning forward as if to get a better look at him. "You
won't meet my eyes." His voice rumbled, it shook the very core of the
young man's being.
Saemus despaired, clenching his fist. "Ashaad died on my accou-" He tried to speak, but the Arishok interupted him.
The
Arishok waved his powerful hand dismissvely, "Parshaara. Ashaad made a
decision. Asit tal-eb." His dark eyes were focused on Saemus.
He
slowly looked up at the massive figure, taking in his full form with
awe. Even though the Arishok sat- hunched over no less, he was still
taller than Saemus. "Yes Arishok, Ashaad said this to me." Saemus spoke
softly, his voice resigned.
"Ashaad saw worth in you." He balanced a muscular arm on his knee. "He said you sought the wisdom of the Qun."
Saemus
didn't hesitate, he knew this is what he and Ashaad both wanted- and
what his father loathed. "Yes. Ashaad said I would become...Viddathari."
"Come. Submit to the Qun." The Arishok demanded, his voice was low.
Saemus
was unsure of what the Arishok expected of him. He slowly got to his
feet, and looked to the Arishok's guardsmen for guidance. They offered
none. He took a few hesitant steps toward the Arishok.
"Why do
you hesitate?" The Arishok growled. "The Qun demands conviction."
Another Qunari stepped out from the left of the Arishok's stone
bench-throne. He carried a large bowl in both of his muscular hands and
knelt before the Arishok. Saemus couldn't see the contents of the bowl
and did his best to swallow the nerves balling up in his throat. The
Arishok's words caused him to quickly ascend the stairs until he stood
before the Giant.
The Arishok suddenly grabbed the young man by
his velvet doublet and tore it from his body with little effort. Saemus
cried out in surprise, the Qunari's eyes were all over him- canvasing
his bare chest. The chilly air of the docks at night made his skin
gooseflesh and his nipples harden.
The way the powerful Arishok
looked at him excited him, his breathing became ragged and his chest
rose and fell rapidly. He saw the Arishok reach his muscular hand over
and dip it into the bowl the kneeling Qunari soldier held- covering it
in a crimson paint.
The Arishok's dry hand grabbed Saemus by the
front of his pants and pulled him atop his knees roughly. Saemus didn't
resist, the Arishok could easily break him if he did. Although he could
barely straddle the Giant's wide thighs. A large hand streaked wet
warpaint across his chest. Saemus lowered his head and bit his lip,
trying to hold back the erotic noises that wished to flee from him.
Saemus
could feel the eyes of the Qunari guardsmen on him as the Arishok
painted his chest. The Arishok's strong hand brushed over his nipples,
streaking the red paint on his pale skin. He again dipped his hand in
the bowl of paint, smearing more on his body. Thick fingertips made
circular motions over his nipples.
Maker.
Saemus wondered
if the Arishok knew what he was doing to his body- if he was so naive-
No. A man with this much power must know exactly what he was doing.
Saemus's member was growing firm in his breeches, he grunted as the
Qunari leader scraped his claw against his hard pink nipple. He felt the
Arishok's massive paint slicked hand grip his throat, the pungent smell
of the paint tickled his nose. The paint was streaked across his face
then- the Arishok's handprint had now temporarily been branded on him.
"Do
you pledge yourself to the Qun, Dumar?" The Arishok's slicked hand
gripped Saemus's hair and pulled his head back to meet eyes with him.
The Arishok's rumbling voice reverberated against Saemus's body.
The
intense glare of the Arishok stunned him, his lower lip quivered,
"Yes...my Arishok." The smell of the paint was making his head dizzy,
his hands had made their way to the crotch of his breeches subconciously
to rub his growing erection. His breath became hot and heavier, he
suddenly leaned his forehead against the Arishok's broad, muscular
chest.
The Arishok seemed to be expecting this- or at least, he
didn't react. "Then you are now Viddathari." The Qunari soldier who
carried the bowl of warpaint set down the bowl and removed the Arishok's
shoulderpads and mantle, as if he had been comanded to. He carried it
away back within the compound.
Now bare-chested, the Arishok
looked down at the vapor-drugged Saemus. He lifted his chin with his
hand and examined his face as if expecting something. He gripped the
seat of Saemus's breeches with both hands and shredded them in a single
pull. Saemus moaned against his pectoral muscle. The Arishok held Saemus
tightly against his chest and didn't hesitate to push a thick, paint
slicked finger into him. Saemus's body tensed up, but even he was
surprised at the ease of it. The combination of the paint lubricant and
his time with Ashaad had given him some experience. A low moan escaped
his lips, Saemus's arms reached up and wrapped around the Arishok's
neck.
The Arishok's paint slicked middle finger slowly moved in
and out of Saemus's anus. He probed at his warm, wet insides- feeling
the twitching muscle. The young man bucked his hips wantingly, his soft
lips had found a comfortable place on the Qunari's clavicle- which he
sucked and licked at. His fingers had twisted into the Arishok's stringy
hair.
The Arishok wasn't Ashaad- but the familiarity couldn't be
discounted. He was much, much larger- and older. However, Saemus hadn't
recieved any sort of comfort since Ashaad's death, no solace, no kind
words. The feeling of being in the Qunari's arms, mixed with the effect
of the warpaint- was enough. It was enough knowing that he was
submitting to the Qun. This is what Ashaad would've wanted.
The
Arishok's dry hand cupped the young man's pale cheek, spreading it apart
from the other as his slick middle finger moved inside and out. A
second finger joined in and further pried open the taut ring of muscle
to allow the passage of what was to come. His fingers shifted at a
faster pace, jerking Saemus's body against him.
Saemus grinded
his hips wildly, his body gripped by an unnatural violent passion.
Whether it was the fumes of the warpaint or the Arishok's pheremones, he
would never know. The sensitive tip of his erection smeared clear fluid
against the Arishok's brick abdominals. Saemus's thoughts wer becoming
unclear- primal. His body was tingling all over. His once gentle hold
around the Arishok's neck had now become a frenzied grasp onto the heavy
waved horns that crowned the Qunari's head. A roar, no- a battle cry-
erupted from his small frame and echoed throughout the Compound.
The
observing Qunari responded with a resounding call- was it some kind of
salute or acknowledgement? Saemus wasn't in the right mind to ponder
its' meaning. However, the Arishok knew. He met eyes with Saemus-
was...that a smile? No. The Arishok did not smile- nor did he ever
laugh. The Viddithari had proven his conviction. He was worthy of the
Qun- its protection, and it's Arishok.
Slippery fingers were
pulled out of him and gripped onto his cheek. His rear squirmed in the
Arishok's firm grip, as if to find them again. A strangling noise
escaped Saemus's painted mouth, as if the loss of the Arishok's fingers
were depriving him of air.
The ever-stoic Arishok looked down
into Saemus's fixated, frenzied, desperate eyes. "Patience." He rumbled.
He lifted Saemus's body against him. His movements were slow, and
precise. Leather shifted. When Saemus was back straddling the thighs of
the Arishok, he felt the Giant's thick rod- pressed against the small of
his back. A bit of reality suddenly sank in. Saemus's delicate dark
brows raised in surprise- maybe horror- feeling the sheer size at what
was expected to be inside of him.
The Arishok studied Saemus's
face while squeezing his soft, fleshy buttox- massaging them against his
monstrous erection. Saemus saw a softness in his face that no one else
could see. Saemus agreed to place his trust in the Arishok without
speaking a word, the Arishok knew.
"Viddathari. Put your Arishok
inside you." He commanded. The Arishok's hands released Saemus, and he
pulled Saemus's arms down from his horns. He sat back in his throne,
taking on a more relaxed position, with his stare focused on Saemus.
Saemus
felt all the eyes of the Qunari on him- expecting him to serve the
Arishok. He tried to shakily reposition himself. It was akward being
atop the massive Qunari, his legs barely could straddle across his
thighs- and now he was expected to do this himself. He tried to scoot
back, so he could face the Arishok- but he had nothing for leverage- and
the Arishok would not help him.
His face flushed crimson when he
realized he would have to do this with his back against the Arishok's
chest- facing the Qunari soldiers in the compound. He shut his eyes
tightly, and let out a long breath of resolve. Saemus swung his legs
over the Arishok's knees and straddled him from the opposite direction.
He used the heel of the boots to catch the edge of the throne and
propped a hand up on the Arishok's knee for leverage. With his free
hand, he reached back to take hold of the Arishok's massive rod. He
looked away from the compound, and held his breath as he pressed the
head of the Arishok's penis into his hole.
He let out a soft cry
of frustration, he wasn't steady yet- and his knees were growing weak
trying to hold up the weight of his body in such an awkward position.
Sweat trickled down his pale thighs, and his ass trembled. He arched his
back and pushed his back end further down, finally swallowing in the
whole head of the Arishok's cock. With this, he let go of the thick
shaft and was able to hold himself with both hands on the Qunari's
knees. He let out a long breath, his brows furrowing together as the
Arishok's cock-head throbbed in his ass.
The Arishok watched him
with his ever cold stare, only once had Saemus gotten the head back did
he give the young man the satisfaction of any noise. A low, "Mmm..."
almost a growl.
Saemus gyrated his hips down onto the Arishok's
rod. His legs shook more violently as he tried to hold themselves up on
them by the heel of his boot. It didn't hold- Saemus impaled down hard
on the Arishok's rod- letting out a loud yelp. His nails dug into the
knees of the Qunari, hard enough to draw blood. His body shook violently
and he was stunned, hunched over.
The impact made the Arishok
growl loudly, he stayed firm- but his eyes rolled back in his head for
just a moment. He remained silent. His eyes focused on the young man.
It
took time for Saemus to recover- but he did. He had made up his mind
when this began- he would see this through. He tensed his muscles and
gave the Arishok's throbbing rod a tight squeeze.
The Arishok
lifted a large hand and patted his hair very gently- impressed with his
resolve. He took Saemus's body in his arms, and allowed the human to
lean back and wrap his arms around his thick neck once more. "You have
done well, Viddathari." The Arishok spoke into Saemus's ear.
The
Arishok gripped onto Saemus's member with his large hand and rubbed the
tip. He then pumped into him savagely. Saemus cried out loudly, writhing
and bucking his hips against the Giant. The Arishok's own pleasure
sounds consisted of grunts and growls, which were low and against the
back of Saemus's neck.
Heat rose up from Saemus's loins, his body
tensed up and arched back against the Arishok. He tilted his head back
against the Qunari's broad shoulder, moaning against his neck- saliva
strands dripping from his lips and down his chin. A convulsion shuddered
throughout his whole body as he succumbed to climax in the Arishok's
hold.
The Arishok's pillar-like arms wrapped around Saemus's body
tightly. The embrace was so tight he could feel the Qunari's pectoral
muscle ripple and flex against his back. The Giant bent forward, a
rough wet tongue was on Saemus's shoulder- then sharp teeth as the
Arishok gritted into him. He let out a thunderous growl as mass amounts
of thick fluid spurt up inside the Human.
Saemus's dark lashes
fluttered and he expelled a lusty gasp as the Arishok filled him. He was
exhausted, spent, his body had been pushed to the limit- and he was as
limp as a ragdoll in the Arishok's arms. The Arishok had his eyes closed
meditatively once he had released. He remained in this stoic,
meditative state for a few minutes before pulling himself out of Saemus.
Semen
and traces of blood slowly leaked out of Saemus and down his pale
thighs. The Arishok slung the young man over his shoulder effortlessly
and adjusted his clothing. He glanced up at the moon hanging overhead
contemplatively- then to the compound guardsmen. A silent exchange.
Saemus
was still reeling, breathing heavily and exhausted. The next thing he
became aware of was that he been rested upon a comfortable heap of furs.
He was too tired to notice the specifics of where he was- still within
the Compound, it appeared. He felt the fur shift- through half lidded
eyes he saw the familiar shape of the Arishok sitting at his side. His
large hand came down and placed itself on Saemus's face.
"Rest, Viddathari. Remember this night."
Like literally everyone in the circle tower died though?
