Meet Me in the Temple

 Awesome artwork by: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/chessi/

The hike was a grueling process. It alone tested the fortitude of new students, and added the affects of the heavily overgrown forest that surrounded the temple, and it was a masterful way of making sure only the most dedicated people could reach its entrance. For over six hours, Sosha had been scouring the warn in path up the incline of this massive hillside.   
 
  The lynx paused in her travels and grabbed the tin canteen by her side and swallowed back a mouthful of water. She was a strong individual, she had trained under many masters since she was the age of five. She had learned how to fight and wield an entire military's weapon assortment under several different styles. She was tall and lithe, her toned muscles were easy to see as they jutted from her clothing and portrayed her as being quite angular. Her shirt and slacks clung close to her form, and the backpack that was strapped over her shoulders contained only necessities for the hike to the temple. 

    She wiped at her forehead with the back of her paw and gave a sigh as she stared up at the peak of the hill. She still had so much more to go. She had been on this path for hours and there was still hours more to go. The small twinge of defeat sparked in the pit of her stomach, but it was stomped out as quickly as it tried to gain life. She would not quit now, nor would she ever. Either she would make it to the temple or her bones and spirit would decorate this path.   
 
  No more than a minute had passed from the time she had taken her break to when she was corking her canteen and beginning on the path once more. Indeed her assessment was correct, it was another four hours of solid hiking until the summit was reached. Sosha was on her paws and knees by the time the light of burning braziers and candles caught her eye. Since night had fallen an hour or so ago, she was going purely by what little light the crescent moon offered. She was taught how to read by its brilliance, and so she thought she was fine. Though she did have to pause when clouds covered the heavenly body.   
 
  The last few meters of the path that she followed turned into vine stricken, stone steps. When she looked up, the temple was in full view. It was a huge structure, entirely made out of the wood of nearby trees. The forest had overtaken its facade as well, vines and brilliant flowers bloomed across its exterior and made it look somewhat abandoned, but the glowing flickers of the precise lights that were around it told of its occupancy.   
 
  The transformed path lead across a short meadow, through an entrance way that had practice mannequins in armor stationed about in a courtyard, and finally up to the temple entrance. Sosha was breathing hard and staring at the double paper doors. She was so exhausted, something about this hill sucked the energy out of her. She had endured campaigns of training that lasted days without needing a rest, but here she was, tired to the point of immanent unconsciousness. But she knew that no matter what happened, she needed to be inside of the temple by midnight, which by her calculation was hours away.   
 
  Sucking in deep lung fulls of air and with blurry eye sight, Sosha let her backpack fall to the ground as she continued on. It was such a nice weight to let go that she almost thought she could run, but instead only mustered painful hobbling. She passed through the field and courtyard and stumbled up the steps. With arms that she could barely lift above her waist, she grabbed either side of the paper doors and pushed them open. It was at that moment that her knees gave out and she went sprawling across the floor of the temple.   
 
  There was a sitting figure in the middle of the room, someone not too much bigger had their legs crossed in a lotus position on a large pillow with a hoard of flickering candles all around them. “Young, Sosha, you have made it. Congratulations,” came a soft, feminine voice. The lynx woman's gaze tried to focus on the individual but things were far too blurry. Her mind finally slipped at that moment and she plunged into a gracious sleep that was set to last the night and well into the morning.   
 
 
  The morning came with chirping birds and buzzing insects. At the first sliver of consciousness, Sosha bolted up right and gasped. It took her a moment to realize where she was as her eyes focused and her mind settled down. She was still in the temple, that much was clear, but she was in an entirely different room from the one after the front entrance. She glanced down at her sleeping arrangement and realized that she was on a bed mat with a blanket that had been draped over her sleeping body, though she was still in her same clothes.
 
  “Apprentice, Sosha, you are awake,” came a voice from her side, making the lynx whirl around to see a figure sitting in the far corner of the room. It was a female fox dressed in dark clothing that wasn't all too different than what she was wearing. “You sleep very efficiently, most others that have made it here are out for days at a time. You will make our masters very proud, I can sense it.”
 
  “Who are you?” she asked after relaxing.   
 
  “I am apprentice Koko. It is very nice to meet you,” she replied with a smile and rose gracefully from her spot.   
 
  “How did I get here?” Sosha asked as she slowly stood up as well, though her muscles were sore and stiff.   
 
  “Grand Master Krishtinov carried you here and set up your bed. Now that you are awake, I would like to make your acquaintance with the head of our temple.” she explained and gave a short bow. “You will be training closely with her and many others like her.”
 
  “Oh! Thank you then,” she said and returned the bow. The fox turned and opened the paper door and stepped out into a hallway. Sosha was quick to follow, but on her way realized that her backpack had been placed against the far corner of the room. She thought it to be quite curious, though she was ready to abandon all possessions she brought with her in the instance of any temple requirements.   
 
  Koko was silent as she walked, her steps were not the slightest bit detectable, it was like she was floating just above the floorboards with each pass, while the lynx did nothing but creak and thump her way behind her. For a moment she felt self-conscious, would they laugh or think her unworthy? Would they try and teach her to be more quiet? What if she was always too loud?
 
  As her eyes stayed unfocused in front of her, she hadn't realized that the fox had stopped and turned to her. Her eyes were closed and a simple smile showed on her face. The lynx stopped short of almost running into her and stared at her with confused eyes. She didn't say anything, instead she simply pulled open another paper door and gestured for the other woman to proceed.   
 
  “Good morning, Sosha,” a feminine voice wafted to the lynx before she even stepped through. She swallowed and wondered in, her neck craning to see into the new room. She came to realize that this room was the entrance from which she had just been the night prior. She realized that the voice was the same that had first greeted her as well, which sent a shiver through her as her eyes finally settled on the voice's unblurred owner.   
 
  The first thing that came to Sosha was a plume of many tails that sprouted from the lower back of the woman. She was settled in the same lotus position as the night before, as if she had never moved from the spot. Candles still flickered behind her in a semi-circle at her back, partially obscuring the wall.   
 
  Sosha had paused but she now stepped closer to get more details. Much like Koko, this woman was a fox, or more accurately, a kitsune as was evident of her many tails, specifically nine that swayed about at her back. Her fur was as white as snow and seemed to be as soft as clouds. She was a somewhat large person, even from how she sat, the lynx woman could tell this figure was tall. Her shoulders were broad and her bust was large.   
 
  The black robe that covered her form was cinched tight at the waist, accenting her toned stomach. Her thighs and backside were round and strong, though they held no angular definition like her own. In all, the kitsune woman had an hourglass figure that had an aura brimming with professionalism. Even as she sat, her back was straight and she did not sway in the slightest.   
 
  The kitsune turned her head towards the other woman and smiled, though her eyes were shut. “Please, have a seat,” she offered and gestured with her paw towards a pillow set a couple feet in front of her.   
 
  “Th-thank you,” Sosha said and hurried over to the spot. She settled on the cushion with her knees bent and stared at the multi-tailed fox. Silence pursued the two after that, but the Lynx was quick to catch it and spoke. “If I may ask?”   
 
  “Hm?” the kitsune replied and her smile grew even wider.   
 
  “Are you the Grand Master of the temple? Krishtinov?” Sosha asked. A giggle bubbled up within the other woman and she nodded.   
 
  “I am.” she mused.   
 
  The lynx's eyebrows rose and she was quick to press her palms together and bow her head. “Thank you very much for caring for me after I had passed out last night. It was not my intention to show disrespect to the temple or its constituents,” she explained and closed her eyes.   
 
  Another giggle came from the kitsune. “You have done no such thing, apprentice Sosha. Every single arrival that has headed the temple's call and completed the first trial successfully has passed out exactly where you had. Myself included,” she explained. Sosha blinked and raised her gaze, and when she had she caught the eye of the Grand Master. The kitsune had wide, green eyes that seemed to glow with an otherworldly light, but they were friendly, perhaps even motherly.   
 
  “You see, apprentice Sosha,” she continued, “There are many trials here at the temple, those that are obvious and those that aren't so. If you had not arrived here on the night of the day you received your summons, then you would be denied our apprenticeship. If you did not wake after a certain amount of time, then you would have been denied our apprenticeship. To be tested without knowing that you are being tested, is how the true characters of your being can be shown,” she continued on and closed her eyes while a happy smile grew across her face once more.   
 
  “I see...” Sosha whispered just audibly enough for the kitsune to hear.   
 
  “Do not be so downtrodden,” the Grand Master said merely. “From here on out, the unknown trials will be far and few between.” she then paused and took a breath before leaning forward. “Or is that, perhaps, another trial?” she leaned back and let a bellowing laugh escape her wide open maw. She howled and smacked at her thigh many times. Sosha stared with wide eyes and a slightly agape mouth as she watched the display, though she hadn't realized that she was conveying such a shocked expression.   
 
  “The look of new apprentices hearing that never gets old,” the kitsune giggled and hid her mouth behind the sleeve of her robe.   
 
  “F-forgive me, Grand Master,” the lynx quickly replied and bowed her head again. “I had just thought...I would begin training right away...I am eager to learn what I can from the Temple of the Sky,” she explained.   
 
  The kitsune's face turned into a smirk and she cleared her throat. “Yes, you do seem quite eager. Tell me, apprentice Sosha, what do you know about what this temple teaches?”   
 
  “I have heard that the most powerful warriors in the world come from this temple. They are sought after by kings for protection and assassination all the like. That they are able to wield fire and water like any samurai with a sword.”
 
  “Ah, you do know a fair amount about us then,” she laughed and straightened her back. “It is true. Here in this temple there are two domains, that of fire and that of water. We teach how to use both as art styles, which then translates to combat. There will be several instructors along the way, each will teach you on their own dynamic, alongside many other apprentices. You will begin with the domain of fire, and then progress to the domain of water, which is the most dangerous one,” she explained.   
 
  “I'm sorry, Grand Master,” Sosha interjected. “But how is water more dangerous than fire?”   
 
  Krishtinov grinned. “That distinction will be made in one of your lessons,” she explained.   
 
  Sosha nodded. “Then I am eager to begin my first lesson,” the feline woman replied.   
 
  “I know you are,” the kitsune breathed and held out her paw and beckoned the lynx. “Come here.”
 
  Sosha got to her feet right away and approached the Grand Master. “Sit,” the kitsune ordered once the other was closer. Sosha dropped back to her lotus position with barely a foot of space between them. Once she was still, the kitsune continued. “Have you ever pleasured a man before?” she asked bluntly. The lynx was taken aback by the question but she was quick to answer.   
 
  “I have,” she stated.   
 
  “Many times?” the Grand Master pressed.   
 
  “Yes,” she replied.   
 
  “Good!” the kitsune said and then took a hold of the bottom of her robe and began to pull it up. Sosha blinked in confusion and watched the momentary rustling, but her eyes went wide when the space between the Grand Master's legs became revealed.   
 
  A thick sheath and plump set of balls were what resided between her thighs, and they were quite large to begin with. She felt her heart begin to race at the sight and she looked up at the kitsune to try and gleam some sort of understanding about what was going on.   
 
  “All of the masters here are hermaphrodites, as well as the other apprentices. To best command these domains, you will be slowly transformed into one over time,” she explained. Sosha was left speechless as she turned her eyes from the Grand Master to her sheath and back again.   
 
  “But...how...” she whispered.
 
  “Mastery of these domains comes with training and sex. You will receive both here in large quantities,” she explained and brought a paw down between her legs. She pulled back the sheath opening and out came a rather large cock. It dripped thick precum and was covered in a very strong musk. Sosha's mind began to swim from the smell of it.   
 
  “I will persevere, Grand Master,” the lynx mumbled and locked her eyes to the slowly swelling manhood.   
 
  “I know you will. You take this challenge like you have many others through your life, and with your determination comes a great reward,” she explained and pushed her sheath down until it hooked around her deflated knot. “Clean my cock with your mouth, and then I will fuck you.”
 
  “Yes, Grand Master,” Sosha replied and dipped her open mouth down for the hermaphrodite's cock. Her lips wrapped around the tip and the strong taste hit her right away. It was pungent and very salty, her tongue became covered in the stuff but she made sure to swallow it all back. She had sucked off many men before, she recognized this mixture as fresh cum. Clearly the kitsune had recently fucked a different apprentice.   
 
  Sosha's tongue began to lick and lap the ruby surface more thoroughly after she pulled the tip from her lips. The Grand Master was staying quiet, clearly concentrating as her cock was serviced. The lynx wrapped her paw around the base and began to gently pump it as she explored its rigid surface. She collected more of the musky fluid and gulped it all back. Krishtinov found it to be incredibly sexy as she watched the woman's throat flex after each time she would swallow.   
 
  The tapered tip began to press and grind against the back of the feline's throat. She had to stifle her gags and push through the burning sensation that welled tears in her eyes. The Grand Master's cock was rather large, about nine inches in length and it was incredibly thick. Sosha couldn't wrap her fingers fully around, so she had to use both paws when she pumped the base while keeping the tip between her lips.   
 
  Her tongue drew rapid circles around the tip and would make very loud slurping sounds as she would bob her head over and over again. Her saliva dripped down the throbbing pyre and she would often take a deep breath before pushing her mouth as far down onto the kitsune's cock as she could. She was always able to kiss the knot, and when she would her tongue would dart out to lick over its bulbous surface.   
 
  The Grand Master's balls weren't neglected either. During a time when the lynx was pumping away at the kitsune's shaft, her mouth was busily lapping and suckling on those big orbs. Moans began to draw out from Krishtinov's mouth, she was truly growing to love this as that experienced maw was so happily doing work.   
 
  The Grand Master had begun to lean back on an elbow, her thighs splayed as the feline hungrily slurped the throbbing shaft. Krishtinov reached a paw out and gingerly stroked it between the other's ears, prompting her to glance up as her mouth continued to fill back and forth. “It is time, apprentice Sosha. I want you to ride me,” she explained.   
 
  The lynx pulled her mouth back and licked her lips. Giving a couple extra pumps with her paws, she stood up and was quick to undo her own clothing. Her tied slacks were undone and were pushed to her ankles. She stood bottomless and gazed down at the Grand Master's relaxed state. Despite the white fur that was around her belly, Sosha's pussy was home to a thick, dark gnarl of pubic hair. It was course to the touch and covered her pussy lips, clearly a natural state for the woman.   
 
  She stepped over the kitsune's hips and then squatted down. One paw went between her own legs and stroked her fingers through her pubic hair, feeling the wet, supple lips underneath and how wet she had become in the process of cleaning that thick fox cock. Her fingers came away sticky with clear strands connecting the tips to her cunt. Her other paw had gone to Krishtinov's cock and angled it to her opening. As she lowered herself down, she felt the rigid dick enter her and an electric blast of pleasure was felt up her body.   
 
  A hot moan grew from the feline's chest as she settled down, every inch of that hot girth went all the way inside. She was beginning to whimper like she might be in heat, little did she realize that it was the hermaphrodite's magic making her feel this way. Sosha's paws came down to rest against the other's belly as she began to lift herself up and then drop down hard onto the cock, making a blissful wave of pure elation wind through her body.   
 
  The Grand Master's paws came up and grabbed either side of the lynx's upper body garment and yanked it open. Her breasts bounced free, and the first signs of the temple magic was soon to be seen. As the tingling sensation pushed through the feline's form, her nipples began to swell and from them  opaque milk began to flow.   
 
  Sosha noticed right away, she stared down at her breasts and whined loudly. As she began to bounce her tits would sway and jiggle, only making the fluid flow harder. As if to put her mind at ease, the Grand Master opened her robe further, showing off her own huge breasts and the thick lines of milk that were practically gushing from them. The kitsune grasped her own breasts, pawing at them and squeezing her nipples hard to make the milk flow faster.   
 
  “Oooh, you're doing wonderful, apprentice, Sosha,” the kitsune moaned. Her hips began to push up every time the lynx would slam back down. Her cunt was incredibly tight and very wet, it felt like she was pulling the hermaphrodite's cock in whenever she would pull up. The way her body would squeeze the pulsing shaft would send tendrils of incredible ecstasy to wind through the kitsune's form.   
 
  Their bodies smacked loudly and with it gave the lynx's groans and screams as she became the Grand Master's play thing. Her mind was going blank, she had never felt this good and the feelings were only growing. Her cunt began to tingle, particularly around her clit, which was rigid and growing ever so slightly. It was so incredibly sensitive that as she rubbed her fingers around its swollen shape, she was sent over into a screaming, fluid gushing orgasm.   
 
  Sosha's femme cum sprayed over the kitsune's breasts, painting her in the woman's scent as she rode her climax to greater and greater heights. The pillow beneath the hermaphrodite's rear end became sodden with the mixture of precum and her gushing fluids. A squelching sound would echo every time that throbbing member would pull back from the woman's begging hole. Her cunt was quivering and her body was straining to go faster. In truth, the lynx had never experienced this kind of a breakdown of fortitude. She was moaning like a slut in heat, loving every second of her wet pussy getting serviced so savagely. Her juices flowed from her cunt as freely as the milk from her tits.   
 
  The redoubling of pressure from around her cock had begin to make the Grand Master's own orgasm come on quickly. Her hips were working up and pushing hard against the lynx's pussy, almost bucking her off as she would stay in a position. Their moans grew with intensity, the kitsune's most of all as the incredibly euphoric sensation bounded through her cock. She howled as she came crashing over her peak, a massive gush of her cum painted the feline's pussy ad filled her womb in an instant.   
 
  Sosha went through another trembling orgasm as well, one that had her crying out and trembling as she let her whole weight settled on the Grand Master's hips. Pump after pump of thick cream pushed inside of her pussy, filling her up and seeping out. A thick line of cum rolled down the curve of the kitsune's balls as the last few drops of her seed spilled out.   
 
  Their bodies settled to a rest on the floor. Their heavy breaths were all that resounded within the room as they slowly separated. The kitsune's cock popped free, her knot having since swollen into the other's hole, came out with some effort.
 
  Sosha's body was tingling and electric, especially her nipples and her clit. While she slowly sat off to the side she glanced down at her self and brought her paws up up to feel over her nipples. They were sensitive to the touch and seemed like they had swollen a bit. More milk spurted from the pink flesh and she couldn't help but shiver. “Mmmh,” she murmured to herself and then glanced down between her legs.   
 
  Sosha's eyes went wide as she came to find that her clit had grown just the same as her tits, it was twice the size from the last time she had masturbated and it was still tingling. She reached down to touch it and there came a bolt of pure pleasure that struck her and made her cry out. Far too sensitive, she told herself and shivered. She turned her eyes off to the side and saw that the Grand Master had been able to fully recover and had repositioned herself back on her pillow with folded legs. Her cock was still visible though, dripping with cum and erect through her parted robe.   
  “You will be a fine addition to the temple, apprentice Sosha. Your training will begin in the morning. In the meantime, apprentice Koko will show you to your room and give you a tour of the temple premises,” she explained and closed her eyes with a friendly smile. The lynx looked at the hermaphrodite slightly confused but then movement caught the corner of her eye and she reeled to see that the fox girl from before was patiently standing beside the door. Had she been there the whole time?
 
  “I'm glad to see that you have been officially accepted and well integrated,” Koko said and beamed, her eyes smiling as she looked upon the new student. Sosha was quick to cover herself with her clothing and grabbed her slacks to pull them back on and tie them tight. Every time fabric would brush across her sensitive flesh she would whimper and tremble.   
 
  Once she was composed she turned to the Grand Master and bowed deeply. “Thank you so very much, Grand Master Krishtinov. I will not disappoint you.”
 
  “Oh I'm certain that you won't,” the kitsune replied and settled her paws back on her knees. Sosha turned back to Koko and approached. The vixen pulled open the paper door and gestured for the feline to go ahead. She did, and when she had wondered into the hallway far enough, the vixen closed the door and followed. Once the Grand Master was alone once again, she did smile quite contently. Apprentice Sosha was going to be a very fine student indeed.
