The Wild Hunt Ch 01 1

A great roar bellowed from the Dayward side of the Wilds, in its wake the Twilight glade fell silent for just a few heart beats.

Athena, a slight nymph of a woman dressed in hunters leather below her waist and a thin shirt, shuddered, turning her owlish gaze toward its source. Something big was coming, something powerful.

She leapt into the air transforming into a great owl, setting herself to perch on a sturdy branch in her Twilight glade. Athena knew this glade well, having always found safety and freedom here. The creatures in the area were small, the perfect prey for her to strike quickly and quietly from above. She was the hunter here.

Below, the ever moving moon showed her face reflecting off the water of the glade's tranquil pond as a great Beast of a man pushed aside a large branch impeding his path. He paused and reflected on the beauty here. A dayward creature himself, he never ventured far into the darkness of the wilds. He made his way to the pond, scooped up a handful of water and drank. It was...sweet. Not sickly sweet, not like an overripe fruit. Just a hint. He assumed that was the smell he followed but in smelling his wet hand, no the water held no scent at all.

The man removed his shirt, pulling it with one hand over his head and tossed it to the ground. He undid his warskirt and let it fall, leaving him naked in the moon's embrace. As he walked into the pond he began to change into an immense bear, his fur dark with speckled light spots like stars.

Above, Athena watched timidly as this stranger invaded her glade and undressed. She covered a gasp as he dropped his warskirt and sauntered into her pond. He was pawing at the water in frustration, what was he doing? Was he expecting fish? He stood on his hind legs and let out another earth trembling roar. This time, the gasp escaped Athena as she had to bolster herself from being knocked out of the tree.

The bear's head snapped to the side upon hearing a noise and he began drawing huge breaths through his nose. He pivoted his head back and forth with smaller breaths trying to hone in on what had lured him here. His gaze locked on a huge pair of sparkling eyes above him in the trees.

A rumble escaped the bear's maw in Athena's direction, "What are you little bird that would lure me here?"

Athena from her confident perch replied, "I feel that's quite an obvious bear, I am an owl, and I have not lured you into invading my quiet twilight glade. What is your name?"

"I am Arcas, bear of the coming dawn, and a scent has drawn me here through dayward into twilight. It is you, your scent seduces my mind. Come down so I might see you unobscured." said Arcas.

"I am Athena, of the twilight glade...THIS twilight glade in fact and I assure you I've no mind to seduce you bear. If I come down, will you leave this place? Your presence seems to have scared away my prey" replied Athena in a snarky tone.

"Come down and sate my curiosity. Prey will always fear the hunter, it is their nature. Appease me and this hunter will leave your glade." rumbled Arcas

Athena swooped from her branch and took her nymph form as she landed feet from the pond's edge. "There, I've come down. Sate your whatever and be on your way" snapped Artemis with a smirk.

Arcas walked towards the beauty before him in awe, becoming a man once again. "There is the image your scent places in my mind! This form before me, dancing in twilight. What...are you?"

Athena stood tall and replied, "I am a hunter, feared in this glade."

"A hunter?" Arcas chuckled deeply as he reached out and gently took hold of her chin, looking deep into her eyes, "Sweet nymph, you have the smell of prey."

Her knees became surprisingly weak before she remembered herself and tried to buffet him away with a gust of wind. Arcas stood strong, smirking as he removed his hand from her face but not losing his footing. With a shaky breath Athena said "I...AM...the hunter!"

"To the creatures of this glade, perhaps. But you long to be the hunted little one, don't you?" said Arcas as he towered over her.

Athena's eyes went wide, she swallowed hard and after a few surprisingly shaky breaths, turn her head shyly away. Arcas once again took her chin and guided her eyes to look deeply into his own. He went down on one knee before her so they were at the same height, "I'm going to kiss you now, little nymph." Arcas whispered, drawing a small whimper and nod from Athena. He ran his hand across the side of her neck to grip her, his single hand almost completely wrapping her delicate neck and kissed her deeply.

Her body quivered, it left her feeling weak, confused but excited. She pushed off his chest and leapt away, her arms appearing as ethereal wings quickly to fly up to a branch just above his height on a nearby tree before resuming her form. "I am....a hunter and not so easily caught by such a beast as you." said Athena.

"A beast.." Arcas chuckled, "You see me reflected off the water, thinking of me as a shallow puddle. Enter my embrace and swim in the deep well of tranquility I offer."

"Ill not fall for that again, you'd have to catch me first and I am a creature of the wind and woods, the ever moving moon blesses my escape here" Athena quipped.

The huge man grinned and laid his hand flat on the ground causing a low rumble. "I will show you how to be prey. When you fear you will drown in me, begging me to draw you from the depths...you will call me master." As Arcas spoke, following the low rumble vines began crawling up the tree to find Athena's perch. When he finished speaking, they were upon her. Binding first her wrists, to keep her from flying away again. Each wrist bound she pulled against them, whimpering as they pulled together above her head, lifted her from the branch and settled her feet on the ground. Arcas stood and walked over to the tree she was bound to. "How....how dare you!?" Whimpered Athena as she squirmed.

Arcas smiled and tilted his head, "Is this not what you truly desire, little nymph? To feel how prey feels? Powerless, your fate just outside of your grasp?"

Athena's body shuddered once again at his words and though she struggled still, she looked deep into his eyes and nodded slowly. Arcas once again held her by the neck and kissed her, pushed up against the tree, his giant form pressed against her delicate frame. She stood against the tree, arms bound above her head, her feet just barely able to feel the ground beneath her feet. More vines crawled to her ankles and slowly spread her stance. "Would you like to drown in my power now, little nymph?" Arcas asked gently.

With a shaky breath Athena answered, "Please, yes....please."

With that Arcas just sat before her calmly smiling, confusing her. He closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath then opening them. There was a fire behind his eyes now as more vines snaked up her body caressing her calves outside the tight hunter's leathers she wore, up her inner thighs, across her bare stomach until they came to her thin shirt that barely covered her breasts. The vines split and pulled the top in either direction, slowly ripping it down the middle and letting the thin fabric fall. Her breasts glistened in the moonlight, rising and falling rapidly with her excited breaths.

Her breathing quickened as the vines grazed across her nipples. "Ah, my little prey, are we sensitive here?" Arcas said, grinning as tiny strands of the vines wound around her nipples and pulled. Athena let out a moan and her knees buckled, only staying upright from the bindings holding her. More vines wrapped around her waist, undoing her hunters leathers protecting her legs, pulling them down exposing her completely to the moon and the beast. The vines lifted her ankles, bending her knees back around the tree and securing her there with her flower exposed. Still moving vines found their way to her inner thighs, snaking back and forth seemingly hungry to seek her more sensitive areas. They met in the middle, creating a thick smooth rope of vine, sliding gently across her clit then entering her flower.

Athena cried out, "Yes, please...oh Gods please" as her body was manipulated by the beast's magic. Slowly the vines thrusted in time with the nipple pulling vines, in then out, pull and release. Vines supported her ass and crept in, just grazing her, wet themselves on the juices of her dripping flower and entered her anus. Her eyes closed in deep moans, the beast stood, moved closer to her and kissed her deeply as she was repeatedly penetrated. Inhaling her moans into himself. He wrapped his hand around her neck and began to squeeze, causing Athena to moan deeply with pleasure.

"Do you feel yourself drowning my prey? Struggling to find the surface, your powerful wind escaping your grasp?" Asked Arcas. Her body shook, moaning, increasing in volume and frequency. "Will I let you drown, sweet nymph? No, not before I've tasted your flower that lured me here" rumbled Arcas as he knelt, kissing her body as he lowered himself to breathe in her dripping flower.

"P-please, Master" was all Athena could get herself to say.

He flicked his massive tongue along her thighs, tasting the juices there which made him feel ravenous. He grabbed her thighs with his hands and squoze hard as his tongue spread and slid up along her clit, parting her labia. The vines still penetrating her, Athena screamed with delight. Her whole body squirming with pleasure. Her body suddenly began to grow tense, like a bow string drawn, shaking with power...then released, she orgasmed sending waves of shaking through her whole body causing tears to run down her face as she whimpered and panted.

The vines slowly left her panting body, Arcas' arms taking the weight of her body. He carried her to the pond and laid her in the soft grass, scooped a handful of water and fed it to Athena "Rest little nymph," said Arcas quietly.

"Yes, master. Thank you, mast..." was the final thing that left Athena's lips before she fell into sleep, the moon still shining off her perfect form.
