 Chapter 10
 
 Melia had been trekking through the knee-high grass
 for hours under the bright sun. Sweat ran down her
 skin as she walked, nude, through the field, making
 her way down the gentle slope and towards the valley
 below. Late in the day she noticed movement not too
 far away in the grass below. Stopping for a moment,
 she saw that it was a  leading mule-cart. The cart
 was piled high with cloth and wooden chests and the
 man appeared to be dressed in leathers, a small sword
 swinging at his hip. Unsure of what to do, Melia
 crouched in the grass, wary of being caught nude in
 the middle of nowhere by a stranger. As the  drew
 near, however, she realized that he must be a merchant
 of some sort, and might be able to help her. She
 waited until he was passing by her, no more than
 twenty feet away, and called out, "Hello!" The man,
 startled, drew his sword and looked around confusedly.
 Standing and revealing herself, Melia waved to the
 man, showing she was unarmed. He stared at her warily
 and, searching the land from side to side, slowly
 approached. A short, but  and unruly beard of
 golden brown covered his jaw and a wiry mustache sat
 above his lip. He had strange, searching eyes of
 emerald green with which he searched her up and down.
 As he opened his mouth to speak, she saw a set of
 dark, rotting teeth. "Dirg unth vau?" he called to
 her. Melia recognized the language and she realized
 she must be in Casconi, just east of her native land.
 She did not, however know what he was asking her, or
 how to respond. Again he called out, "Dirg unth vau?!"
 Hoping he would recognize her own language she
 responded, "Can you tell me where I am?" He seemed to
 think for a moment and then he started through the
 grass towards her. Nervous, Melia pointed to the cart
 of goods and said, "trade?" She tried to illustrate
 with hand gestures and he stopped, seeming to
 understand. Starting back towards the cart, he looked
 back at her and waved her over.
 
 Climbing up onto the cart he began sorting through
 various cloths and goods, reciting words she did not
 know. He looked at her and grabbed his leather tunic
 saying, "vafrathi?" Melia eagerly nodded and watched
 as he pulled tunic of rough cloth from the pile. He
 held it up to show her and she continued nodding
 eagerly. The tunic in one hand, he held out his other
 and said, "hubec toh." He waited, then dropped the
 tunic and repeated his words, this time illustrating
 with four outstretched fingers. Melia realized he was
 asking for money. A look of desperation on her face,
 she illustrated with her hands that she had nothing
 with her. He, however, seemed to misunderstand this
 gesture, for his face lit up and he looked her up and
 down. He jumped from the cart, grabbing the tunic as
 well and began removing his  leather breeches,
 all the while staring hungrily at her naked body.
 Melia realized what a terrible mistake she'd made, but
 it seemed her only choice, she needed clothes. The
 bearded merchant pulled his tunic from his body and
 approached her. She instinctively took a step back as
 the large, hairy  came towards her. Grabbing her
 shoulders, he pulled her to the ground, knelt before
 her, and spread her legs. Melia closed her eyes and
 her heart pounded quickly in her chest as the man's
 wiry beard tickled the insides of her thighs. To her
 surprise, she felt his mouth upon her pubic mound and
 sighed softly as he massaged her clit with his tongue.
 
 The merchant licked and  at the girl's sex until
 her chest rose and fell with heavy sighs, and warm
 slick fluids seeped from between her vaginal lips. She
 felt him leave the junction of her thighs and looked
 down at him as he crawled up her body. His thick,
 penis protruded from the wiry reddish hair that
 covered most of his body and Melia swallowed with
 anticipation as she saw it approach the lips between
 her legs. With one quick thrust, he pushed himself
 into her, his rigid member slipping up between her
 swollen, wet labia.
 
 Though he was a bit rough with her, Melia began to
 enjoy herself. He pumped hard into her, obviously not
 having had a woman in some time. She breathed deeply
 took what pleasure she could as he finished, exploding
 inside her with a heavy grunt and collapsing on top of
 her. Exhausted, he lay his head on her chest as he
 caught his breath. He was cute, in his own way, and
 she patted his head gently. The wiry beard tickled her
 stomach.
 
 The  gave her the tunic and was on his way.
 Dressing herself, Melia moved on through the grass,
 heading towards the setting sun.
 Melia walked along sandy ground. She'd passed through
 vast grasslands, managing to avoid contact with any
 other travelers. The grass was sparse now, and she
 felt sun-warmed pebbles beneath her feet and between
 her toes as she continued on her trail, hoping,
 praying to find her lost love. Their luck had been
 awful of late. It was hard to believe so much had
 happened in only a month. First to be cheated by that
 scoundrel of a duke, who refused to pay for the
 statuette she procured for him. Then to come home to
 their quiet hut and find Alara gone, taken. She
 trudged on, grief whirling through her mind, and
 hardly noticed as the ground grew rocky beneath her
 feet.
 
 Coming to the edge of rocky slope, Melia looked down
 at the valley below. Pale boulders lay strewn about
 the valley floor, some bunched together, forming small
 caves and spots of shade. She was suddenly reminded of
 how hot the midmorning sun had grown. Picking her way
 carefully down the slope, she reached the sandy ground
 and started toward a pile of rocks offering some
 shade. She inspected the area until she was convinced
 it was utterly deserted, and then stretched out on a
 flat rock. Lying on her stomach, she rested her cheek
 on the rock's cool surface and drifted off to sleep.
 She came to slowly, emerging from the sea of sleep and
 lying there, half dazed, staring at the backs of her
 eyelids. The sun warmed her back, and she giggled at
 the feel of whiskers tickling her legs. Deep purring
 startled her out of her dream state and she began to
 piece together what was happening. The sun had climbed
 past its peak, and hung in the western sky, shining
 its pale orange light down on her. There was a smell
 in the air, and something moved behind her. Again she
 heard purring, and realized with terror that she was
 in the vicinity of a mountain lion. Just as her body
 froze with fear, the whiskers tickled the backs of her
 thighs. It was smelling her, and began to push the
 back of her leather tunic up the curve of her ass. Its
 nose moved up her back, pushing her tunic up to her
 shoulders. Melia tried to pull herself up onto her
 elbows to get away, but with a sudden growl it put a
 large paw on her back, pressing her to the ground. Her
 cheek pressed upon the rock, Melia could feel the tips
 of the cat's claws, just barely extended, pressing
 into the skin of her back. She felt the soft fur of
 its underbelly brush against her naked back and the
 very ground she lay on seemed to rumble with its deep
 purring. She could feel the presence of its great head
 behind hers, and she stared straight ahead too afraid
 to move. It's throat rumbled behind her head and she
 felt its bristly whiskers on the back of her neck. Her
 breath stopped, anticipating the killing bite that
 would break her neck, but it did not come.
 
 Time stood still. She felt the cat's large tongue on
 the back of her neck, which startled her out of her
 paralysis. Her breathing resumed in heavy pants of
 fear as she felt its licking move down to her back.
 Its breath was hot on her back. Her nostrils flared as
 she  in air, rich with the smell of the lion's
 musk. She felt the cat's rough tongue licking her
 back, its laps traveling down the small of her back,
 where it stopped a moment, sniffing, and the air
 rumbled with a deep purr. The  resumed its licking,
 rubbing its tongue in long upward strokes that moved
 lower and lower.
 
 Still very frightened, Melia wondered what on earth
 was happening, and she nearly giggled as the rough
 tongue licked from her tailbone to the small of her
 back, teasing ticklish skin. Her breath came fast as
 it licked her there again. Then its tongue traveled
 down between her buttocks, licking the perspiration
 from her skin. Melia's breath quivered as the beast's
 tongue pushed between her buttocks and slid back over
 her anus, its whiskers teasing her skin. It licked her
 there again and she felt the tension releasing from
 her body. Whiskers tickled the backs of her thighs,
 their wiry tips brushing her soft skin. A cool, wet
 nose pushed down, between her thighs, parting her legs
 slightly, and she breathed deeply as a warm tongue
 licked the backs of her thighs. The licks moved up to
 her sensitive inner-thighs and she shuddered with
 pleasure at the feel of the cat's hot breath on her
 skin, stirring the hair in the crevice between her
 thighs.
 
 The big  pushed its nose up between her legs again,
 parting her thighs and exposing her labia, slick with
 perspiration. The sudden touch of its tongue on her
 secret lips caused Melia to groan involuntarily as
 strong waves of pleasure tingled down her legs and up
 into her belly. A soft sigh of pleasure escaped her
 lips as the warm tongue licked along the length of her
 labia.
 
 Her cheek pressed against the soft, swampy ground, she
 lifted her ass into the air and spread before the
 great cat. She panted as its tongue rubbed her
 clitoris, the long fur on the sides of its head
 brushing her inner thighs. Its whiskers teased her
 buttocks. Melia's face flushed with lust as the
 lapped between her legs and she pushed her ass back
 against its nose, searching for increased friction. It
 licked her hard, and she gasped for air as the rough
 tongue lashed up from her clit all the way to the
 small of her back. A drip of milky fluid fell to the
 ground beneath her parted thighs.
 
 Thick with lust, Melia pushed her ass up against the
 cat's shaggy underbelly as it mounted her. It planted
 forepaws on either side of her and rested its head
 upon hers, its weight pressing her cheek against the
 moist ground. Its shaggy hind legs pressed against the
 backs of Melia's thighs and a bubble of precome
 dribbled from between her labia. At the touch of its
 erect penis to her pubic mound, Melia's breath paused,
 her body tensing slightly.  For a moment the  just
 stood poised, positioning itself, the hard tip of its
 penis pushing ever so slightly into her soft lips.
 Then it slowly inserted the head of its penis into
 her, pushing into her soft body. It felt hard and
 slender inside her and, moaning, she pushed back
 against it, aching for deeper penetration. Her
 muscles massaged and squeezed the tip of it, which
 felt a little strange. The  jerked back just a bit,
 and Melia felt rubbery spines on its head pull at her
 soft tissue, stimulating her with intense pleasure.
 Then, with a deep grunt, the lion thrust itself into
 her. She cried out with lust at the feel of the big
 cat slamming its smooth-skinned shaft into her vagina.
 Her secret lips were stretched to  the wide
 base of its penis and the cat's large, velvety balls
 slapped against her pubic mound.
 
 Melia came hard, squealing with pleasure as her milky
 fluids seeped around the cat's member and dripped from
 between her legs. With a great sigh of relief, she
 relaxed and began to lower her ass. But when she tried
 to, it remained held tight to the big cat's
 underbelly. Its stiff member, still rock hard inside
 her body, held her, impaled. The  began to thrust
 into her with short, hard strokes, pressing her cheek
 into the ground with each one. She felt her groin
 tingle with renewed pleasure as each thrust send a
 surge of ecstasy through her body. She thrust her hips
 up against the cat's belly and gasped with bliss, her
 tongue lolling out of her mouth as her sex pulled at
 its penis. The  rammed into her until, with a deep
 roar, it came deep inside her body. Then, suddenly, it
 pulled out of her, licked her rump, and was gone into
 the rocky wilderness.
 
 Melia lay on her belly, exhausted, and was half-asleep
 when the sun was blocked out by a tall figure standing
 over her. Before she could react, it snatched her up
 and tossed her over its shoulder, knocking the wind
 out of her. She blacked out and the beast carried her
 off into the desolate valley, her ankles held firmly
 in its large, ugly hands.
