“One more try and we’ll leave it for today,” Artemis promised. He pointed to a letter on the tablet and Elias frowned. “R?” “P,” the tiger replied. The neko grumbled under his breath. “Cheer up, you have most of them down already. I’m really proud of you; most people need a year to learn this much.” A beep drew them out of their study and Artemis rubbed Elias’ head before leaving the kitchen. The alarm grew in urgency and the tiger frowned. Rushing toward the c

“And we’re off,” Artemis sighed as the ship returned to its typical running heat. “This journey will take some time. We’ll be stopping every week or so to take on fuel and spend a night off the ship. It’s necessary, trust me.” Elias sipped at his water, his eyes staring at the tiger’s collar. “Anyways, we need to teach you how to read. And how to speak Egaro, as well as Common.” The tiger smiled. “Of course, this means you need to speak…” The neko’s head shot up, Elias s

Slavery is legal in the galaxy, it is merely regulated in a way that is supposed to prevent a pilot from going to an undiscovered planet and enslaving the population. Artemis himself has absolutely no desire in owning a slave, though he does seem to enjoy Elias taking charge

Artemis sat in the pilot seat, staring at Elias. “I told you that you can pay me back whenever you want. There’s no rush.” The neko glared at the tiger, his hand dangerously close to his pocket. “It really isn’t much. If we take a detour over to Asla 3a, we can mine some of the asteroids. That will pay back at least half of what I’ve spent so far. The reward from finding your planet will pay the rest. But we are not leaving today. I’ve spent three months in the black. I want to sl

It is a hard thing to escape, slavery. Even if someone frees you, you still have to take care of yourself.

He'll figure it out. Hopefully.

Artemis walked slowly through the crowded port, guiding Elias ahead of him with light touches. He could tell the neko was embarrassed by his wardrobe, but that would be changing soon. Artemis himself tried to keep himself from tugging on his collar. A hand grabbed his tail and the tiger growled quietly. The offending hand was quickly removed. It was always a problem on these ports, having appendages that stuck out, like tails. Passerby often tried to touch him, and he was hoping to spare El

The alien backed away from the neko, holding their hands up. “Okay, okay, we can finish this later,” they said hurriedly. The fox growled under his breath, and the grey alien glared at him. “Fontar, he is clearly terrified. The planet Captain Artemis discovered is clearly of no threat to us. I am sure we can afford to give Elias some time to recover.” The alien sat in front of Elias, their voice gentle, soothing. The translator didn’t change its tone, and the effect was lost

Yeah. Artemis has a long journey ahead of him if he's going to teach Elias it's okay to be trusting.

Elias stared wide-eyed through the metal glass of the cockpit, a space station filling the space before the ship. The port was enormous, a spinning orb easily twice the size of Astara. They drifted toward the glowing hole in the side of the station, Artemis expertly manoeuvring them into position. A voice suddenly filled the cockpit, and Elias bit back a yelp. He couldn’t understand the words, but Artemis replied quickly, and the tiger’s translator spoke for Elias’ benefit. “Grathur Port

Faster than the Speed of Light
Yeoldebard commented on Yeoldebard's story chapter in Faster than the Speed of Light
It's going to take some time for him to get used to his new circumstances, but in the end I think he'll be happy with his decision. -
I agree, but you can't always think of everything.
-
Indeed. Hopefully it won't seem so strange to him soon.
-
He certainly does seem to have a heart of gold, even given his past.

Thank you! -
Artemis let out a breath he didn’t know he had been holding. “When you’re finished with your soumada come speak with me. We have a lot to discuss, you and I,” he smiled. Standing, the tiger left the kitchen and sat at the pilot chair. He pointed the ship away from the planet below and switched seats, sitting at a computer in the cockpit. Artemis began typing rapidly on a holographic keyboard, listening to the hum of the ship as it reacted to his touch. The portal was powering up, prepa

Artemis stretched out with a yawn, wincing as his back cracked. A week of sleeping in the pilot chair was killing him, but there was no way he would share the bed in the cabin with Elias. The neko deserved to have his own bed, and giving him that was worth some discomfort. The tiger was reasonably certain he had found Elias’ mystery fortress, but he needed to be positive before launching any kind of weapon at it. What he was planning was illegal, but with luck, no one would ever hear of it.

“Elias… Elias…” The neko groaned, his eyes opening. The first thing he saw were stars, twinkling, calling to him. Blearily the neko reached up, trying to catch a shooting star. The sound of waves crashing on a beach distracted him from his quest, and he sniffed the air, smelling salt and fish. He was… at the ocean? “Elias.” Elias stiffened at his name. That was the voice from his dream, the sound of a mouth full of rocks… and then the strange voice speaking his own language after.

Thank you very much. It is always good to hear you did well creating an engaging world.

Paelius moaned as the werewolf moved in him. A long warm tongue flicked against his neck, and he gasped as another thrust hit that magical button inside him. “Almost there my prince,” Quarian murmured, thrusting deep into the elf. Paelius felt the human tense up, his thrusts coming quicker, with a sudden urgency. Quarian collapsed on him, and Paelius felt the tiny knot grow inside him. It was bigger in wolf form, but he preferred to be in his natural shape when they made love. The prince

Sandolin could feel the moon’s pull, calling to his wolf. He scrambled to remove his armour, watching several of the surrounding werewolves fall with a cry. His prince seemed unaffected by the moon, not even flinching as the moon’s light touched him. ‘He did it… He found a way to fight the disease…’ the werewolf thought, as his body went through the change. Even Riardin was affected by the moon, his body rippling as he transformed into a small brown wolf. Sandolin could see the shock in

That was the idea lol. Hide the neko away and explain things on the ground.

The world was bright beyond the neko’s eyelids. He felt strange, in a good way, as if Danuva had just healed him. Elias was cold, naked, but otherwise healthy. Someone spoke nearby, but he couldn’t understand the strange garbling sounds. A moment after they ended, another voice spoke, this time in a tongue Elias could understand. “Welcome back to the world of the living. I am pleased to see I got you to the chamber in time.” Elias opened his eyes and hurriedly closed them again, near

Elias ran through the tall grass, his feet making a beeline for Danuva’s home. A sudden snarl filled the air and the neko was thrown to the ground. A wolf stalked toward him, a malicious gleam in his eyes. Elias scrambled backwards, trying to escape the wolf. His hand fell into a hole and he toppled back to the ground as the wolf leapt. The neko’s side exploded in pain as the wolf’s teeth stabbed into him. As the wolf released him, licking its lips, Elias’ vision darkened. The beast

A neko, stolen away into a universe he knows nothing about. An explorer, offering shelter to an alien after saving his life. Elias has lived his entire life as a slave. When a brush with fanged death sees him spirited away from his planet, the neko is forced to rely on a stranger for everything he needs. Will the alien called Artemis finally allow him to be free? Or has Elias traded one master for another?
