~~oOo~~

Brolli sighed, the fingers of one hand tracing swirls in
the sticky seed cooling on his chest.
�Well,� he smirked. �If that�s
the kind of show you put on, especially during your first time, I can�t wait to
see what you�re going to be like once I get my hands on you, and Raditz too.�

With that, he sat up and snapped his fingers, causing the
image of Raditz and Kakarott in the mirror to disappear. Then he held his arms over his head, and
once more assumed the guise of Ox. �I�m
waiting for you,� he said ominously.

~~oOo~~

Kakarott grinned as he leaned against Raditz, enjoying the
feel of

the burly woodman�s arm draped over his shoulder.

�What are you grinning about, Red?� The older man chuckled.

�Just...everything,�
Red Riding Hood bit his lower lip to stifle a giggle, cheeks flushed.

Raditz smirked.
�You do realize, don�t you, that your grandfather�s going to realize
what�s happened as soon as we walk in, right?�

Kakarott paused, eyes widening. �He will?�

�Mm hmm,� Raditz
snickered. �But it won�t be that big a
deal, he�s been trying to hook us up since last year.�

The teen suppressed a laugh, falling into step with Raditz
once more as they cleared the woods.
�Hey, he�s been doing some bread baking of his own,� Kakarott said,
inhaling deeply. �Mm, smells good,� his
step quickened, as they approached the cottage. �Grandfather, we�re
here!� The teen shouted, banging open
the door.

�Hello, Red! What a
surprise!� �Ox� came into the kitchen,
sweeping his �grandson� into a bear hug.
�And Raditz, you came back, will you be joining us for a late
meal?�

�No, I found Red wandering the forest, all alone, so I just
decided to see that he got here safely,�
Raditz said quietly, eyes on the floor. *I hate lying to him, but now
isn�t the best time to come right out and tell him about us,* he thought.

Brolli smirked. �Well, I insist you stay for something to
eat!� He turned and put the kettle on
to boil. �Oh dear,� he shook his
head. �Silly me, I haven�t anything
ready but some bread, I must admit I wasn�t expecting anyone tonight.�

�Oh that�s alright!�
Kakarott chirped. �I have a
whole basket of treats that my mom packed for you, let�s eat those!�

�That is an excellent idea Kakarott,� Brolli smiled, gesturing toward the
table. �Come on then, sit down! Don�t be shy.�

Kakarott began setting the treats on the table, chattering
away to his �grandfather�, as Brolli and Raditz sat down.

Finally, all the pastries and cookies were laid out before
them, as Kakarott took a seat on the other side of Brolli.

�Mm,� Brolli
purred, eyes shifting back and forth between the two men. �Looks good enough to eat.�

Raditz looked up at �Ox�, eyes narrowed. �What a deep voice you have tonight, Ox,� he
said slowly.

Brolli gave a sinister chuckle. �All the better to converse with you.�

Kakarott blinked as the other man reached for a pie. �Wow, what big hands you have.�

�All the better to touch you with,� Brolli snickered, waggling his eyebrows at
Raditz.

�W..what big eyes you have,� the woodsman stuttered, at
last realizing that something was horribly wrong with this picture.

�All the better to see you with,� he purred, leaning
forward and nuzzling Raditz�s hair.

�What the...hey!�
Raditz yelled, jumping to his feet.
�What are you about, Ox?�

Kakarott gasped, face paling. �Oh...my...what a...a big�� he choked on the words, as he stared
at the bulge in the front of the other man�s pants.

Brolli laughed, holding his arms above his head, body
glowing as he took his own form again.

Raditz growled, running to stand in front of Red Riding
Hood, fists clenched. �What sorcery is
this?� He snarled, staring up at
Brolli.

�Hey! I know you,
you�re the man that was in the forest, earlier!� Kakarott stared at the other man�s bare chest, then blushed as
his eyes were drawn to the bulge still visible through the man�s loose, white
pants.

Brolli smirked, stepping closer to them. �I believe your next words were going to be
what a big bulge I have, yes?� He
snickered when Kakarott nodded. �Well,
do I really need to tell you what I�m going to do with that?�

Kakarott shook his head quickly. �What are you doing here, and where is grandfather?�

�Your grandfather is safe and sound, just out of the way
for a little while, so we can get to know each other a little better, without
interruption.�

Raditz growled, tugging on Kakarott�s arm and making a
break for the door. �What?!� Raditz gasped, as Brolli seemed to just
appear before them. �Come on!� He turned and almost dragged Kakarott down
the hall, heading for the back door.

�Ah ah ah...Can�t have you leaving just yet, the fun is
just beginning.� Brolli murmured,
reaching out and grabbing each man by the back of his shirt and pulling them
into the bedroom.

�N..no, please, wait, what are you doing?� Kakarott cried, as Brolli closed his eyes
and chanted softly.

�What...are those?!�
Raditz struggled furiously in the larger man�s grip, looking on in fear
as what looked like tentacles, made purely of bright golden light, began to
emerge, first from the wall beside the bed, then from the bed itself.

�I think I like you...there,� Brolli smirked, tossing Kakarott onto the bed.

�What...no, what are
these things?!� The teen shrieked as
the glowing ropes snapped around his arms, legs, and waist, firmly tying him
down.

�Red!� Raditz
lunged toward him, snarling as Brolli held him back. �Let go!� He grunted as
he was flung against the wall.
�No...don�t touch me,� he hissed, as the tentacles slowly curled around
him. �Stop it! Who are you, why are you doing this?� Raditz demanded, struggling against his
glowing, undulating bonds.

Brolli regarded them both for a moment. �Oh, that�s right,� he slowly approached the
whimpering Kakarott. �I made a promise,
that when next we met, I would tell you my name, didn�t I, Kakarott?� He climbed onto the bed, straddling the
teen�s waist, moaning softly as the glowing tentacles brushed his already
aching arousal. �My name,� he breathed,
leaning down and brushing his lips across the younger man�s. �Is Brolli.�

Raditz gasped.
�Oh..no...Brolli...it can�t be!�
He struggled even harder, trying to break the bonds. �Leave him alone!� He shouted.

Kakarott trembled, staring up at Brolli with pleading
eyes. �Why are you doing this?�

�I�m not going to hurt you, or Raditz.� Brolli murmured, trailing his tongue up the
side of Kakarott�s neck. �I just want to have a little fun with you,� he
smirked over at Raditz, eyes traveling up and down the woodsman�s muscular
frame. �This one caught my eye a couple
of years ago, I�ve been watching him all summer, every summer since.�

Raditz blushed at Brolli�s words, shifting nervously.

"And you,
Kakarott," he whispered, �I first noticed you last year. You'd grown up a lot, into a very handsome
young man," he nipped lightly at the teen's jaw, chuckling as Kakarott
shivered.

"Hmm? A little nervous, are we?" Brolli smirked, climbing off the bed and
sauntering over to the woodsman.
"Perhaps Raditz and I putting on a little show will help you warm
up to the idea." He waved a hand
idly, and more glowing tendrils snaked out of the wall, ensnaring Raditz's legs
and spreading them.

"No, stop it...I... Hey!" He yelped when Brolli quickly and efficiently tore away his shirt
and pants. "What do you think
you....you're doing," he trailed off softly, looking down as Brolli darted
his head down to capture a nipple between his lips, sucking and nibbling
gently.

"Nn,"
the burly woodsman groaned, as a large hand wrapped around his stirring arousal
and squeezed him gently. "Ahn...B...Brolli," he panted, arching his
neck as the other man's hand slid up and down his shaft.

Kakarott turned his
head, watching intently as Brolli sank to his knees before Raditz, waving his
hand, which caused the tentacles to push the woodsman's hips forward. Brolli smirked as he felt the teen's eyes
on him. "You like to watch,
Kakarott?" He gestured once more,
and the ropes swung Raditz around sideways, enabling Kakarott to see what
Brolli was about to do.

Raditz
gasped, arching his back as a warm mouth engulfed his rock hard length,
Brolli's lips sliding down to the base of his cock. "Oh...yeah,"
Raditz rasped, writhing and twisting in his bonds as Brolli's mouth
moved up and down his arousal.

Kakarott whimpered
softly, arching off the bed, his arousal nearly painful as he rocked his hips,
slitted eyes trained on the two men before him. "N..no fair," he whispered, muscles tense as bowstrings
as he watched Brolli's lips sliding up and down Raditz's length.

Brolli pulled back
and gave Kakarott an evil grin.
"No, I suppose it isn't fair, is it, Kakarott? I'm over here pleasing your woodsman, and
nobody's taking care of you," he titled his head to the side, and
chuckled. "Come on, Raditz, we'd best not neglect our young lover."

Brolli
waved his hand toward the bed, causing the glowing ropes the held the teen to
shift and loosen slightly. Brolli stood
up and walked over to Kakarott, reaching down and quickly tearing away his
clothing.

Kakarott gasped as
Brolli waved his hand again, and the teen's own bonds tightened around him once
more, pinning his arms over his head, and spreading his legs wide.

"Now, I think
you've had enough of just watching. How
would you like to be able to feel everything I do to Raditz?" Brolli
purred, smirking as the teen stared up at him warily.

Brolli chuckled as
he dropped to his knees before Raditz, once again engulfing the woodsman's
thick shaft in his mouth. He waved a hand as he did so, causing one lone
tentacle to rise up from the bed between Kakarott's legs, the glowing tendril
undulating sensuously as it moved toward Kakarott's straining arousal. Without warning, it slithered forward, the
tip opening as it engulfed Kakarott's length completely.

Kakarott
gasped, head falling back as a low, throaty moan escaped him. "Oh, God....that..." he rasped,
shuddering violently as the glowing tendril slid up and down his length,
squeezing and rippling, perfectly mimicking Brolli's ministrations on Raditz's
shaft.

Brolli
pulled away from Raditz�s length, wetting two fingers with saliva, chuckling as
both Kakarott and Raditz groaned in disappointment.

Raditz
groaned, eyes widening slightly as Brolli pushed his fingers into him,
thrusting gently, seeking his prostate.
A shiver, coupled with a soft grunt was Brolli�s reward when he did
brush the sensitive gland. Raditz�s
head lolled to the side, the woodsman moaning softly as he watched Kakarott
writhing on the bed, sharp cries falling from the teen�s lips as a slender
tendril thrust in and out of him, brushing his prostate with each stroke.

Brolli
looked from one to the other, hooded eyes glittering. �Mm, both of you are so sensitive, sensuous,� he murmured,
standing up and waving his hand, causing the glowing bonds to lift Raditz off
the floor, legs spread, arms out to the sides. �Now you can watch, Kakarott, and feel it was well, as I take
Raditz...�

�Nn...Brolli,� Kakarott whimpered, hips rocking, as he
strained against his bonds. �Want your
mouth on me again...�

�So
do I,� Raditz panted, staring up at
Brolli with glazed eyes.

Brolli
cocked his head to the side, regarding first Raditz, then Kakarott. �Hm, I think I can manage to please you, and
take my pleasure from you as well,� he purred, crooking his finger. One glowing tendril slid around Raditz�s
waist, the tip opening as it neared the woodsman�s arousal. The same was happening on the bed, as a tentacle
rose to brush against Kakarott�s erection, drawing a soft moan from the teen.

Brolli
smirked as another tentacle slithered over his own shoulder, before rearing up
and brushing against his lips. He
titled his head back slightly, eyes flicking back and forth between the two
men, as he opened his mouth and took it into his mouth, sucking hard as the
tendril thrust gently into his mouth.

Kakarott
gasped, writing and twisting on the bed as once again he was engulfed in soft,
wet heat. �Hnnaahh! Brolli...please, more,� he begged, staring
at Brolli, face flushed, lips slightly parted.

Raditz
yanked and struggled against the bonds, as a glowing length slid up and down
his own shaft. He watched through
slitted eyes, as another bright tendril thrust in and out of Brolli�s mouth,
muffling the man�s soft moans.

Raditz cried out in
surprise as Brolli suddenly moved forward and entered him in one slow, steady
thrust. �Ahn...yeah, Brolli...� he
moaned, hips rocking as his lover slid into him, brushing against his sweet
spot.

Kakarott
shrieked, arching sharply, head thrown back as he was penetrated just as
suddenly, something thick, long and hard pushing into him, imitating Brolli�s
thrusts perfectly. �Oh...ahnnn,� he
panted, trembling.

Brolli shuddered as
he pushed himself into Raditz's tight heat, the other man's muscles tightening
around him. He remained still for
several seconds, waiting for both of them to adjust.

Raditz moaned as he
was filled, while the glowing tentacle wrapped around his length continued to
slide up and down his arousal, squeezing and sucking on him. �Dammit, Brolli,� he rasped. �Just do it!�

Brolli began to pant
softly, moving inside Raditz with short, gentle strokes.

Kakarott raised his
head, glittering eyes narrowed as he looked down, watching his own length being
engulfed He groaned, hips rocking
slightly. He looked up and bit his lip,
a keening sound escaping him as he watched Brolli moving in and out of Raditz.

Brolli drew his head
back, letting the writhing tendril pull out of his mouth as he smirked at the
teen. "I thought you might get off
on watching." He pulled his hips
back and thrust hard into Raditz, his eyes never leaving Kakarott's as he
slammed into his lover, drawing guttural cries and growls from the woodsman.

Kakarott trembled
violently, the combination of the thickness thrusting into him, and the visual
stimulation before him bringing him close to the edge.

"That�s it,
Raditz, I want to watch you come,� Brolli said softly, stroking his hair.

Raditz
bucking his hips, eyes rolling back as the other man leaned over him, one hand
reaching down and gripping the woodsman's erection, stroking him roughly, while
angling his strokes to brush Raditz's prostate.

"Ahnn...yes...Brolli," Raditz moaned, head lolling back. He bit his lip, a muffled cry escaping him
as his seed shot out, coating Brolli's hand.

"Mm, that's
it," Brolli gave Kakarott a smug
smile as he pulled out of Raditz. He
waved a hand, causing the bonds that had held the woodsman to carry him over to
the bed, laying him down beside Kakarott.
"And now, for you," he purred, moving over to the bed.

Kakarott growled low
in his throat, struggling against his bonds. The dark-haired boy started to
shift restlessly beneath Brolli�s watchful gaze, as the man took a wet cloth
from the bedside table and cleaned himself off.

Brolli smirked, setting the cloth aside, then lowering
himself down onto the writhing teen. He
kissed Red Riding Hood hungrily, growling as the younger man�s tongue darted
out eagerly to meet his.

Kakarott whimpered
in frustration as he pulled against his bonds.
"Let me go," he rasped, trying to wrap his legs around the
larger man's waist.

Brolli
chuckled. "Next time. I promise you."

Kakarott growled up
at him, eyes dark and glittering. The
teen's eyes widened as Brolli quickly thrust two fingers into him, searching
for his pleasure spot. A high pitched cry let Brolli know he'd found what he was
seeking, and he ruthlessly exploited the spot, reducing the teen to a quivering
mass of desperate need.

"Nn...Brolli!" Kakarott cried, writhing beneath him. "Do it, now...please?" He jerked,
back arching almost painfully as Brolli positioned himself at the teen's
entrance, and buried himself inside him with one smooth, quick thrust.

"Brolli....ahnn...uhh,"
he panted harshly, sweat beading on his brow as his head moved from side to
side, eyes clenched shut, lips pulled back in a silent snarl as he arched and
thrashed beneath the larger man.

Brolli growled low
in his throat, sweat running down the sides of his face as he thrust into the
teen, Kakarott's moans and pleas making him tremble as he neared release. He looked over at Raditz, and smirked briefly
as he noticed the woodsman staring at them.
"Come give him a hand, Raditz," he rasped, looking down at the
teen's weeping erection.

The other man needed
no second invitation. He quickly moved
over, wrapping a hand around Kakarott's erection and stroking him, as he leaned
over and seized his lips in a demanding kiss.

Kakarott stiffened,
his scream muffled by the kiss as his seed shot into the air, landing on his
own chest and stomach. He slumped back
to the bed, breathing hard, as Raditz lay down beside him, both of them looking
up at Brolli through glazed, hooded eyes.

Seconds later,
Brolli threw his head back, climaxing with a roar of pleasure, his seed
shooting into his lover's body. He
slumped over on top of Kakarott, snapping his fingers and releasing the teen
from his restrains, then lying down beside him as well.

Kakarott sighed and
smiled, looking back and forth between both men. "This is going to be an interesting week," he
chuckled.

Raditz blinked a few
times, his head clearing. "Wait a
minute, Brolli, what did you do with Ox?"

"Oh, right,
yeah!" Kakarott struggled to sit
up. "Were is my grandfather?"

"In
the pantry." Brolli yawned. "He's safe, frozen until we get some
sleep, get up, get dressed, and make this bed," he smiled slightly.

"Well, maybe we
should let him out," Kakarott said, shaking Brolli's shoulder. "You can have my room while I ah...tell
Grandfather some of the new developments, all right?"

"Oh, very
well," Brolli grumbled, getting up
and moving into Kakarott's room. He
reached his hand out into the hall and snapped his fingers.

"Come on,
Raditz, let's go get cleaned up, then we'll talk to grandfather." Kakarott
said, moving to the back door.

~~oOo~~

Ox fell to the floor in a heap, grunting as his head made contact
with the pantry door.
�What...where!?� He shook his
head and sat up, his memories from earlier fading rapidly. �Hmph,� he got to his feet, rubbing his
head. �Strange, I must have slipped and
fallen,� the old man shook his head and opened the pantry door. �Either that, or I�m getting like Kakarott,
falling asleep at the drop of a hat, even while standing up.�

�What the heck?� He
stared at the table, which was laden down with pastries, pies, and
cookies. �Kakarott!� Ox grinned, stomping through the house. �Where are you, Kakarott?� He wandered down the hallway, pausing as he
saw a tall, handsome young man stretched out on his grandson�s bed. �Um, excuse me, ah...�

Brolli sat up, smirking.
�Hello there. I believe Kakarott
and Raditz are out back, getting cleaned up.�

�Oh, did you come with Kakarott?� Ox asked, blinking at the strangely dressed man.

�You...could say that,�
Brolli gave him a wicked grin.

�Oh....oh!� Ox
turned away, blushing. *I know I told the boy to sew his wild oats...but,* he
thought, then shrugged. *Guess my grandson�s got a bit more to sew than the
average man.* Ox chuckled.

Brolli rose from the bed, brushing past Ox and making his
way back to the kitchen. �You should
probably wait for them in the kitchen, I�m sure they won�t waste any time
getting back in here to share in those treats Kakarott brought for you,� Brolli
snickered.

Ox smiled ruefully.
�I�m afraid you�re right, the way those two eat, if we don�t get ours
first, there might not be any to get,� he paused, as Brolli walked toward the
door. �Wait, where are you going?�

�I should go,� Brolli said quietly.

�Nonsense, you can at least stay for dinner,� he said, then
snapped his fingers. �I almost forgot,
I have some meat and cheese to set out, give me a hand, young man.�

Brolli trailed after the old man, helping to set out meat,
cheese, a pitcher of water, plates, and cups.
He leaned back against the counter, watching as Ox bustled about,
putting the kettle on once more, humming as he sliced and buttered bread. *This
is nice,* he thought, his expression wistful. *I remember when I had a home
like this one, mother bustling about in the kitchen, baking, cleaning, taking
me out to play, or just going for a walk...* Brolli sighed, taking a place at
the table as Ox poured hot water into a teapot.

Ox studied the other man surreptitiously, noting the sad
look in his eyes. *I wonder what�s wrong?* He thought, setting the teapot on
the table and taking a seat beside him.
�So, what�s your name?� He asked quietly.

�Grandfather!�
Kakarott burst into the kitchen, nearly jumping into Ox�s lap as he
hugged him tightly.

�Hello there!� Ox laughed,
wrapping the teen in a crushing bear hug.
�Hello, Raditz, joining us for supper after all, then?�

Raditz leaned against the doorframe, blushing as he looked
over at Brolli. �Yes,� he said
quietly.

Ox looked back and forth between the three of them. �Well, this isn�t fair,� he chuckled. �You three know each other...intimately,� he
said, grinning as all three men had the grace to blush. �But I still don�t know who this young man
is,� he clapped a hand on Brolli�s shoulder.

�Grandpa...�
Kakarott sat down beside the old man.
�This is Brolli.�

Ox looked over at Brolli intently for a few seconds. �You�re not like I thought you�d be,� he
said, continuing to study him. �Somehow
I thought you�d be bigger, and meaner looking.
And I wouldn�t expect you to wind up in a...compromising position with
these two.�

Brolli shrugged, becoming pensive and withdrawn.

�He�s not what everybody thinks he is,� Kakarott began,
taking a deep breath and launching into Brolli�s story. When he�d finished, Raditz and Ox sat still
and silent, their expressions grim.
Kakarott and Brolli jumped when Ox�s fist banged down on the table.

�That son-of-a-bitch!!�
Ox growled, huge hands curled into claws. �If he ever shows his face around here, I�ll tear him
apart!�

�Hmm, if my ax and I don�t find Paragus first, Ox,� Raditz
said, his voice dripping with venom.

�I don�t think either of you will find him,� Brolli said
quietly. �I�ve lived alone in those
woods for 15 years, and have never seen him.
Not once.�

�You mean you�ve lived out there, all alone, since you were
five?� Raditz asked, staring at him in
disbelief. Brolli nodded slowly.

Ox looked over at Brolli for a few seconds, debating, then
spoke up. �Brolli, I think fifteen years
alone in those woods far too long. Why
don�t you come stay with me?�

The other three men gaped at him. �What?!�

�Well, yes. I think
it would be a good idea.� Ox said,
crossing his arms. �Raditz has work
here, so he is around in the summer, true enough, but he does have to find work
in other places during the winter, after all the work I have for him is hardly
enough to keep him going for an entire year,� he looked over at Red Riding
Hood. �You live with your mother, and
are usually only here once a month. I
would like some company around here, besides, I�m not getting any younger you
know, this place is getting a bit much for me to keep up by myself.�

Kakarott
smiled. �So, what do you think,
Brolli?�

�You...you�re not afraid of me?� Brolli asked, staring at Ox.

�No, should I be?
My grandson and Raditz don�t feel threatened by you, so I�m not
either.�

�I...don�t want to impose,� the tall man said quietly.

�Nonsense!� Ox
said, reaching out and ruffling Brolli�s hair, the younger man stiffening,
looking shocked at the contact, then seeming to warm to it quickly enough. �You�ll be earning your keep, with the
chores around here.� The old man
chuckled. �Besides, we�re close to the
forest, that�s what you need, right?
You have to be able to stay close to it to keep your powers
strong?� He paused, and Brolli
nodded. �Well then, I�d say this is the
perfect place for you. Why, this cabin
sits right on the edge of the forest.
You can go and wander the woods anytime you like.�

�Well...I...� Brolli stammered.

�Then it�s settled,� said Ox firmly.

Brolli nodded mutely, and then went back to his meal, his
thoughts racing, feelings jumbled over the lightning fast turn of events.

~~oOo~~

After the dishes were cleared and washed, Ox, Raditz,
Brolli and Kakarott sat in the living room, in front of the fireplace, trading
stories. Raditz told some ribald tales
from when he was a bit younger than Kakarott, and Ox shared stories from the farm
he grew up on. The three men listened
as Brolli shyly told them stories from his time spent in the forest, of the
magical creatures that lived there.

�Wow, who would have thought there were so many amazing
things hiding in the forest,� Raditz said, leaning back and staring at the
ceiling, trying to imagine the creatures Brolli had described.

�They�re very timid,� Brolli said. �They don�t like to be seen, they�re afraid
humans would either try to catch them, or destroy them�

�Yes, unfortunately,� Ox sighed. �People have a tendency to
fear what they don�t understand, and what they fear, they seek to
destroy.� The other three men
nodded.

Their musing was interrupted, by a loud knock at the
kitchen door.

�Coming!� Ox stood
and made his way to the door. �Oh,
hello, can I help you?� He asked the
tall, intimidating looking woodsman that stood in the doorway.

The hulking man scowled at Ox. �Good evening, sir,� he said in a deep, rough voice. �I was wondering
if you might need someone to cut wood and help to maintain your cottage for a
while, in exchange for room and board.�

�Oh, I�m afraid I have someone to take care of both the
house, and grounds, and do wood cutting.
One of them is working for room and board, the other has his own
house. But, thank you.�

~~oOo~~

Raditz and Kakarott had taken advantage of Ox�s absence,
sliding over onto the couch beside Brolli, hands sliding over the man�s smooth
skin.

�Stop it!� Brolli
hissed, arching slightly as one of Raditz�s questing hands found it�s way
inside his loose, white pants. �Ox is
right there in the kitchen, talking to someone!� All three men paused, listening as Ox refused the man�s offer,
but invited him in for some supper.

~~oOo~~

�So, what brings you out this way?� Ox asked, sitting across from the
stranger.

�I came to see if there is any truth to the rumors of Big,
Bad, Brolli, the golden giant who roams the forest, and can tear a man apart
with a thought,� the man growled around a mouthful of food. �They say he�s been terrorizing this area
for years. I intend to put a stop to
it, once and for all.�

�Really,� Ox said, eyes narrowing. �What if those rumors turn out to be
false?�

The woodsman looked up at Ox. �Why would so many people pass around the rumors, if they weren�t
true?�

Ox shrugged. �All I
know is I�ve lived here in this very cabin for over 50 years, and the woodsman
that�s been working for me for the last five years, has a small cabin even
further into the woods than this one, and neither of us have ever had any
trouble.�

�Hn,� the woodsman sneered. �Well, there are some that say they have had much trouble.�
*Usually the ones that bear a slight resemblance to me,* the man thought with a
snarl.

~~oOo~~

Brolli�s eyes narrowed as he finally placed the woodsman�s
voice. �I know that man,� he snarled
softly.

�What? Who is it,
Brolli?� Kakarott whispered.

�It�s... My father...�

~~oOo~~

"I
see. Um, what did you say your name
was, sir?" Ox asked, stomach
fluttering as he realized he might already know the answer.

"Paragus,"
the man stated, eyes hard and cold.

Ox's eyes slid to
the left as he heard a scuffle starting in the living room. "Excuse
me," he said, standing. "I
have to check on something, I'll be right back." He darted into the living room, and gasped as he saw Raditz and
Kakarott struggling to hold down a glowing, growling Brolli. "Let him go."

"What?!" Kakarott and Raditz cried in unison.

"You heard me," Ox said, his
expression blank. "Hold it,"
he set a hand on Brolli's chest.
"You go out there, on one condition. You don't kill him."

"But....he," Brolli snarled, hair flickering gold.

"I know what he
did, son. But killing him won't bring
your mother back. The only thing it will do, is make you just like him. Spiteful, vindictive, and a murderer."

Brolli paused, hair
returning to black as he regarded Ox.

"You
don't need to kill him, with your powers he's no threat to you. It's one thing to see him punished for his
crime, but quite another to murder him in cold blood," Ox cupped Brolli's
cheek. "He's the monster, not
you. Don't let him win, Brolli. Don't let him make you into a monster too."

Brolli looked way, eyes glistening. "It hurts," he whispered. "What he did, it still hurts. He...he killed her. She was trying to protect me, and he killed
her...beat her to death," Brolli said, voice breaking as his shoulders
started to shake.

"So,
it looks like the rumors are true, you survived, alone, in the woods all this
time after all," Paragus stood in
the doorway, sneering. "Well, I suppose I'll just have to remedy the
situation."

"You
think with your trusty little ax, or your fists, you can kill me? Maybe you could have when I was a child, but
not now," Brolli glared at his
father.

"Oh,
I have no intention of trying to wipe you out that way," Paragus cackled,
the sound sending shivers up the spines of the other four men. "I've picked up a little magic of my
own!" Paragus held up a piece of
old parchment, and began chanting.

"What's he doing?" Kakarott cried, as Paragus was surrounded by
a blinding glow.

�It
doesn�t matter, he�s not going to get a chance to finish,� Brolli growled,
holding out a hand. A bright tongue of
fire leapt across the room, incinerating the parchment.

Paragus
gasped as the glow around him faded.
�What...no, how could you do that?�
The older man asked, stunned.

�Now
you will know how mother and I felt, when we were fleeing for our lives,�
Brolli hissed, the bones of his face shifting, wet popping sounds filling the
room.

�Brolli...what
are you doing?� Kakarott asked
nervously, gasped as Brolli groaned and sank to his hands and knees, muscles
twitching and shifting beneath his skin. �Oh no....Brolli, Brolli don�t!� He shouted, as the other man lifted his
hands and pointed them at Paragus.

Brolli�s
father had time for one bloodcurdling scream before twin bolts of green
lightening shot from Brolli�s misshapen hands, then he could scream no more, as
he was turned into a small deer.

�What
is this?� Raditz asked, backing away as
thick black fur sprouted from Brolli�s back.

�He...he�s
changing,� Ox said softly, eyes widening as Brolli morphed into an enormous
black wolf. �Oh no...Kakarott, open the
door!� He yelled, as the wolf lunged at
the terrified deer.

�You�re
letting him get away?� Raditz barked,
watching helplessly as the deer bolted into the forest, the wolf snapping at
it�s heels. �No one deserves this more
than him!�

�I
know,� Ox said. �But he�s not ripping
him to shreds on my living room rug!�
Ox said, folding his arms as he walked out onto the front porch.

~~oOo~~

Paragus
ran wildly through the trees, zig-zagging in an attempt to keep Brolli�s
massive jaws from closing on his slender legs. *No, it wasn�t supposed to end
like this, the boy and his mother were abominations that had to be eliminated! I can�t die like this, I was supposed to
destroy him,* he thought frantically, running between two closely set trees in
an attempt to lure Brolli into smashing into them. Instead the snarling wolf leapt around them, closing the distance
between them once more.

Brolli
snarled, huge jaws snapping, sharp teeth meeting with an echoing bang as he
barely missed the deer�s fragile looking legs yet again. *That�s it, father,*
he thought. *Just a bit further, then you will be at your final resting place.*

After
a few more minutes of frenzied running, Paragus emerged into a clearing, set
with a ring of large, flat, grey stones. *What...what�s this? I know this place,* he thought, raising his
head and looking around. The deer
whirled as Brolli emerged from the shadows.

�You
recognize this spot, father?� Brolli
said, slowly shifting back to his human form.
�You should, for this is the place you first found out about mother and
I,� he waved his hand around. �Under
these very rocks,� he pointed to three large boulders crushed together. �That�s where I hid, watching as you
searched for me. I watched and waited,
thinking mother would come back for me,� Brolli looked away, his breath hitching. �Then just waiting for you to leave so I
could go and find her, find out why she was screaming so much,� his voice
cracked, shoulders shaking as he clenched his fists. �But of course now we know the answers. And all the magic in this forest can�t bring her back.�

He
whirled and stared at Paragus. �But you
will be punished for what you did to her!
You are going to stay here, and look at her grave, every day! And you will have all the time in the world
to think about what you did to your family, and what you brought upon
yourself,� Brolli hissed, pointing a glowing finger at Paragus.

The
deer struggled as he was lifted off the ground, letting out frightened,
bleating cries as he was floated over to a large, hand carved headstone. �You monster!� Paragus shrieked, as he was reverted to his own human form by his
son.

�No,
father,� Brolli whispered. �I�m not the
monster, you are.� His eyes glowed red,
as he raised his hands toward Paragus.
�Now you will suffer, for what you have done,� he whispered.

Paragus
screamed, body contorting in agony as he was stretched, growing taller, and
wider, his hair disappearing, his skin turning to wood. When at last his screams stopped, all that
remained of Paragus was a large, blackened, gnarled tree that stood facing his
wife�s grave.

Brolli
slowly walked over and stood before the tree, staring up at it
thoughtfully. �And now father, you will
have to stand there, all day, every day, and face what you have done. Perhaps someday you will see the error of your
ways.� That said, he turned and headed
back to Ox�s cottage.

~~oOo~~

Two days later....

The four men sat on the river bank, stomachs full of fish,
caught in the river, and apples and berries, picked from the trees and bushes
surrounding them.

�Yeah, this is the life,�
Raditz grinned, leaning back and sprawling across Brolli�s legs. The taller man laughed, burying his fingers
in the long, black tresses.

�So how�s Turles doing, Kakarott? Still working in the city?�
Ox asked.

�Yes, he�s doing fine, he sent a letter to mother though,
telling her he�ll be home next month for an extended visit while the shop is
under repairs from that fire they had,�
Kakarott said, cuddling up to Brolli�s left side.

Brolli looked over at the teen, brow furrowed. �Who�s Turles?�

�He�s Kakarott�s brother, they practically look like twins,
except Turles isn�t nearly as naive as Kakarott.� Raditz laughed as Red Riding hood growled and swatted at
him. �Compared to Red, he�s downright
wicked.�

�Really,� Brolli
leered.

�Huh? Hey! Don�t even think about it! You�re spoken for!� Kakarott pouted, then knocked the larger man
down onto his back and pounced on him.

�Doubly so,� Raditz
growled, joining Kakarott in attacking a squirming, hollering Brolli.

Ox rolled onto his back, howling with laughter. �I think things are going to be a lot more
interesting around here from now on,� he grinned, wiping tears from his
eyes.

THE END!
