Shining Force - Battle Companions

The clash of steel on steel could be heard all through the area of the Training Grounds. Rough circles of about ten feet by ten feet set in sand were set in the ground. Two combatants raised small swirls of dust as they jockey for leverage against each other.
The first, nothing but a mere human from the casual observance. Smooth, ponytailed pink hair plastered to the magician's scalp and face with sweat and hung around her elven ears. Squinting golden eyes tried to blink the sweat and grit away. Her breath came in ragged gulps as she hopped a few steps backwards. Clutched in her grip is none other than a human mage's usual choice of arms. Leather wrapped grip grasped tightly by the hand, lengthening forward to a longer shaft, just before terminating into a crescent-shaped magical shape at the top. The simple wooden finish an easy testament to its less than noble appearance. Yet suspended in the crescent is an orb, loaded with simple magical powers for observant eyes to see plainly. All in all, a rod of good build, serving its magical vielder sufficiently. Clad in nothing other than her teeny bikini to ease the cooling of the sweat from her body. She has the look of a girl developing into a woman, roughly a guess of 18, yet not more than that. This mage girl has promise, the promise to become one day one of the finest wizards to grace the lands. Her name is simply, Tao.
Facing Tao, is no one else but his faithful friend Ken. The epitome of what the locals would call a Knight. Grace and strength a striking duet with him. The strength of arm matching in perfect union with the grace of each of the four hooves that strike the ground. Thats right, hooves, for this one would be a Centaur.
The Centaur's appearance contrasts that of Tao. A hue of a dark brown just a touch more darker compared to her light pink. Yet his hair is pulled back and dangerously close to spilling out of confinement. By looks it might be shoulder length, but not more. Eyes flashing dangerously close to the color of a sky in storm. Its apparent to the few that are watching that the sword is not the Centaur's first choice of weapon. Indeed, the haughty centaur knights, and knights-to-be, prefer the Lance or Spear.
Silence between the pair, other than the ring of steel and the pattern of feet jockeying for a better position, is spoiled loudly by the eager Tao, who, grinning like a fiend, attempts to yell to take his companion off guard without even resorting to her magical energies. Hooves come up and threaten to bash the young human's head in, obviously well broken in to the ploy. " Ha! Come on Ken! Can't keep up with measly little me? "
As a reply, Ken does a half hop forward, followed by a pivet. Hind legs coming up with a double barrel shot attempt at hitting Tao. Tao, being about to launch a focus-demanding fireball for a flash of daring, is caught off guard by the reversal of fortune. Eyes going wide as both hooves catch her right in the gut. She manages to do a near perfect somersault in the air, limbs flailing, before landing in a heap on the ground. A groaning, bruised heap.
Mortified, Ken rushes over, eyes as round as saucers as he does his best to help Tao, the unfortunately fragile mage. The unfortunate victim of the kick only moans on the ground. Tao then opens her eyes to blink up at the sound of feet rushing to her, and just tries to close her eyes as faces peer down at him. Assaults of questions launched at her, asking about her wellbeing. Tao is so embarrassed she can only hope she'll pass out, so she can avoid the humiliating situation. Alas, such wishes rarely are granted, and she has to muddle through their worried queries...


******************

" How was I supposed to know you'd do some fool thing like that! " Ken's shout is only punctuated by the snicker of a small crowd of people who managed to help the poor Tao off the ground and into the training building to sit down.
Tao turns red in the face and yells at the watchers, " Come on! Don't you guys have something better to do! "
Said watchers throw a few laughs in reply, before meandering off to do other things since the show had happened to evaporate. Centaur and Human both. Tao could only presume they will scounder off to spread the news of the feeble mage getting her gut kicked in by her own accord. Urgh. What a humiliating spot she landed herself into.
" Look.. Tao... I really didn't mean to. Honestly! I thought you were ready to dodge it and I... " Before he could finish, Tao's face got even redder and she managed to mutter out, " Its ok... " before she exploded with embarrassment and burrowed her head in her arms. She could only hope all this wouldn't get back to the Master-in-Arms. That old nag would really have something to say. Vain hope though.
Ken, still shaken by nearly seriously hurting his friend, made an offer. " Well.. Tao.. lets head over to the hidden stream by the old Inn huh? You can relax and soak in the water, you could really use it! "
That last part seemed like a declaration to Tao, and it had a bit of sting to it. " Sure, lets go... but your going to have to help! I'm starting to get sore. " That statement is followed by a groan, and a Ken who dexterously picks his way over to give his woman friend a strong equine back to lean on. Tao gets up and leans on the centaur, flexing her fingers against the equine body's still slightly sweat dampened hair. A thought of how nice it feels fleets into her mind, along with a warmth that suddenly trickles down in her crotch. She quickly stamps the feeling out, a bit confused by it, although she can't help keep thinking about it.
The more she tries not to think about it, as he limps alongside Ken, the more such thoughts hound after her. Ken is rather striking is he not? A perfect match to his strong, equine body. The chestnut coloring a handsome color. Such thoughts quickly led to others, and before she knew it, she was blushing fiercely before she even got past the practice rings.


***********

Sounds of waterfall entertain two pairs of ears. The simple idea of dislodging the hundred or so pounds of dirt she's acquired from the day is a heady thought indeed! Smiling to herself before yelping and automatically ducking against Ken as some rather prickly limbs slap backwards as they push into the rather small and secluded clearing. Whatever she was about to accuse Ken of died on her lips as the majesty of the tiny place demanded all of her attention. It was a lovely spot, where they and their friends had been coming since kids. She had rarely seen anyone else using it, and she was thankful. She could now be there at peace with Kent. Their own private little sanctuary.
Reflecting on those times, she practically didn't notice it all when she peeled out of her sweat soaked clothing and slide into the stream. A miracle of nature that the stream, near the middle in the clearing, was deep enough to be wither deep on Ken. Said centaur undressed himself of his own garments before unceremoniously splashing into the water with a laugh. That laugh. It pulled at things low in her body. To watch that look of happiness cross Ken's so human face. The droplets of water spraying his hair and along his broad, equine back. Before Tao could even think about dropping such ideas of how those lips would feel on hers, she felt another little quiver of excitement between her legs, under the water.
Trying to act as normally as ever, and trying to hide the blush creeping up she cheeks, she splashed around in the water. However, her reddened hue was caught by Ken, who tromped closer through the water with a wry grin. "Whats with the blushing huh Tao?" he asked, playfully slapping water at the human, who could only stutter and try to make an excuse. Words die in her throat when Ken grabs her, about to push her head mercilessly under the water, when the centaur stiffens and stares down. Tao's breath caught in her throat with her bare breasts and their erect nipples drawing attention from Ken. The surprise on Ken's face stays there, when he looks up at Tao. Trying to come up with a way to lighten the sudden still mood. " Didn't know you liked water that much huh? Or would that be for me... " The teasing died off when Ken's eyes met Tao's frightened, desperate ones. The realization dawning on Ken's features is enough to want to make poor Tao flounder through the water and escape before she sees the disgust.
" Ken..ken... I... uhh.. I... " Before the cute magician could say one more word, the centaur swoops down to wrap the poor Tao in a bone crunching hug to his front, and planting a fierce kiss right on her lips.
Tao's mind is blown! Its running a mile a minute with the sudden change. So scared a moment before of utter rejection from his best friend, only to be turned to passion as she reaches up to grab desperately onto the centaur's developed shoulders.
The kiss, full of probing tongues, seems to last an eternity to the both of them yet it only lasted for a mere few minutes. When broke, Tao's eyes are glazed with a passion she had never experienced. Breathless, dumbfounded for words.
" Ken.. Ohhh... Ken I... " A finger presses against the human's lips. Ken's mouth twisted into a sly grin that sent a delighted shiver down her body, all the way to her toes. It might occur to Tao hours later that Ken seems to be very, very practiced at this. Til then, the poor girl is lost in a whirl of emotion. A strangled sound squeezes from her parted lips in a gasp when the centaur's full lips wrap around a nipple on her supple breast to give it little bite.
Tao can only moan and stay frozen in spot while Ken works her over. Panting softly as the moist, soft sounds of the centaur gently sucking seem to reverberate in the little clearing. Feeling strangely incomplete as Ken draws away from the pleasurably tortured flesh, only to give out a soft cry when those wonderful lips press to her other breast and nipple. Giving it the same treatment as the other. To the human, it seems more intense. Having felt the first confusing effects of the first, and with the second, anticipation of Ken's practiced touch heightening her desire.
When the centaur starts to pull away, Tao gives a faint whimper and clutches him tight to her bust with her arms wrapped around Ken's neck. Now the centaur tilts his head up to give a soft laugh, with a wicked little grin on his lips. "Oh you better let go little Tao, I have plans for you, oh my little human."
Reluctantly, Tao lets go of Ken. When they disentangle themselves, firm hands press Tao towards the natural rock shelf that rests just under the water's surface. Eager to see his intentions, she goes over to it, struggling a bit through the water and its current. Once there, she starts to turn around to ask whats next. Caught by surprise as those same firm, gentle hands press her forward again. Ken wants her to bend over on the rock! Tao starts to get worried about that. Sure, she knows she wants it, but maybe not this soon...
" Ken... uhhh.. your not going to.. uhh.. " Tao's worry only gets harder! Ken is well, a centaur! Full well knowing that big monster of a horse would never be able to do what she thinks he might do!
Ken, who gives a small snicker, just leans over to nip Tao's ear, caress her naked, round butt and whisper, " Trust me. " Tao's heart is fluttering, her body is excited, and she obediently goes through with it. Heaving up and laying on it with her belly and chest, her tits press against the rock, legs kicking in the water.
It doesn't take long for the centaur to act. Ken heaves himself up and out of the water, to strike his hooves on either side of Tao's head, who starts to squirm with the sudden act of domination, thinking about getting out from underneath the equine bulk. Ken quickly stalls such attempts, splaying his body down to press Tao onto the rock. " Oh no, my love. Your won't get away that easy! "
Groaning, she digs her fingers against the rock before she jumps and freezes. A very peculiar something jerking up to bump against her stomach between her legs. She can only guess what it is! Overcome with the urge to feel it, she slides back on the rock and against the warmth of her centaur friend. The centaur knight's equine shaft stretches far enough on her skin for her to feel the span of sheath between shaft and belly pressed firmly against the horse dong. Her pussy is dripping west just with the feel of it pressing against her skin. Seeing this, Ken groans and gives an involuntary flex of his equine hips. Rubbing a good length of the member inbetween Tao's thighs.
Now, after finding out what Ken was really up to, she gives a breath of relief. She should have known his friend would never do anything to hurt him! Fingers, which are used to gripping a magical rod, wrap around a very different rod. Ken was huge! She could barely wrap her fingers around him when she gripped the centaur organ. That very touch alone sets Ken off to rocking his hips forward.
" Oh Tao! I never thought I'd ever be doing this with you!"
The pink-haired, now stark naked sexy magician, could only agree with Ken's words. She never thought she'd be spending the day like this under such a beautiful centaur! Using both hands now, Tao reaches down and into the water to grip both Ken's magnificent shaft, and to caress her own, bashfully warming snatch. Bashful when compared to Ken's huge demanding equine cock at least! She clenches her thighs together around the girth of the centaur cock, then lets Ken's rocking motions rub the length of his flesh to her own. Oh what a feeling! To feel such a thing as the soft, almost leather like flesh of the equine phallus rubbing against her stomach, skin, pink pubes and most importantly, her sensitive clit in such a way!
" Ken! My beautiful Ken! You feel so good! " She couldn't believe she was saying such things, but he just felt good! Seeming to be inspired by the human's words, Ken begins to roll his hips forward much more vigorously. The strength of each thrust sends waves and splashes of water everywhere.
Keeping one hand wrapped around them both to make sure the pleasurable friction doesn't vanish, Tao uses her other hand to explore the centaur cock. It doesn't take her long to find the head. So differently proportioned! One thing to see it from afar, another thing to feel it. Which she does, very affectionately. Squeezing, rubbing, and tugging on the head. Each time causing a frenzy of powerful thrusts from Ken.
However, it is the time to take it further. Ken withdraws his centaur shaft from her thighs and places the bulbous head on her wet vagina. " Yes Ken please... " she says. So the horse-man pushes his long and thick centaur shaft into her. He quickly starts thrusting more and more and Tao moans with the pleasure. The huge penis goes so deep inside her and makes her tremble. Yes her dear centaur friend is fucking her with his fat horse-sized dick and she is enjoying it. She breaths more heavily as Ken pushes deeper into her grinding her breasts against the rock which shey enjoys.
Then Tao cries out. Its been a long time since she had done anything remotely sexual to herself with all his training, and so, she couldn't keep all the tension inside her long at all, she comes already! Bucking and shoving her back hard into Ken's belly as she orgasms. Her peak topples her over and over again in a void of pleasure. Remotely through her climax, she could feel Ken shudder and throw himself forward to pin Tao between him and the rock. Between a rock and a hard place indeed! Her hand is goes to her wildly pulsing vagina which tries to squeeze Ken's cock, but he is taking it out. Unknown to Tao, his cockhead swells hugely, then the violent, strong streams start gushing out with force. Ken was climaxing! In her state of arousal, the only thing she wished she could have done was but to suck his cum into her mouth! All that precious fluid being splashed on her skin instead of her mouth.
He was cumming a huge horse load however and it splashed over and over on Tao's skin. Warm feeling centaur gunk spurting all over her behind a making her feel nasty indeed as she felt her skin getting messy with Ken's cum. He emits powerful sounds as he launches his sticky semen all over the horny magician. It is enough to go into her hair and fall down her face and she tastes Ken's delicious sperm falling down her face. Her pink hair is a mess with cum and the hot centaur sperm is covering her buttcheeks and back. Dripping down from her sides making contact with her tits.
Slowly the pair then dwindle down from their respective orgasms. Tao collapses against the rock, shivering with her climax and covered with cum like it was cream. Ken having enough thought in his dazed and exhausted state to side from atop of Tao before heaving his human half on the rock beside her.
Tao looks deep into Ken's eyes, whispering a soft, " I love you... " which is rewarded with a singular, emotional tear that runs down from Ken's eye. Ken reaches over to slowly push a strand of pink hair out of Tao's eye before replying, " I love you to. "
Grinning, the girl says, " Ken. You better drag me off to do that again! I might just let you pummel me in practice to get you out here more often! "
Ken breaks out of his swooning state to laugh, and bantering in return, " Next time! I might just try to get you speared on my Lance! "
The mischievous look in both their eyes was enough. They would return here a lot. And unknown to them, they would grow so close as to be truly inseparable. A love that would endure the war to come.
