      "writing": "Nemi didn’t awaken to the natural light peaking in, nor to the commotion happening around the compound. No. In the mists of several pillows, with a blanket half haphazardly laid across her body, she started to wake due to the ongoing dryness in her mouth and the intense headache pounding against her skull. She groaned, voice only making it worse as it vibrated the back of her throat like thorns ripping across her skin. One of the pillows became her next best option as she rubbed it into her face hoping to fall back to sleep.\n\nA shuffle of items moving followed by subtle footsteps walking around to her side woke her a second time. There was a shake to her arm in which she groaned, turning into the pillows further before softly slapping the hand of whoever was beside her.\n\nAsha chuckled. “You’d feel better if you drank this.”\n\nNemi only whined as a reply.\n\n“It’ll help cure your headache.”\n\nNemi finally moved and looked up, staring at the other hyena who held a cup in her hands. “What is it?”\n\n“It’s tea. Does wonders for a hangover.”\n\nNemi slowly sat up, taking the cup from Asha’s hand once she adjusted herself to sitting. She takes a small sip from the dark green colored tea, immediately spitting it back out once the bitter and sour flavors strike her tongue.\n\n“I thought you said it was tea!”\n\n“Well, technically it’s medicine.” Asha smiled, tail wagging beside her. “I also didn’t say it was good.”\n\nNemi rolled her eyes, scraping her tongue against her teeth to wipe off the unpleasant taste.\n\n“It does help for a headache. And other things. You just have to keep drinking it.”\n\nShe leaned over to take another sip, gagging with a bigger swig of the drink as she forced it down her throat.\n\nAsha claped, encouraging her to drink more. “There ya go. It’s not as bad once you get used to it. I can give you some of the herbs for your journey if you’d like.”\n\n“Why would I ever make myself drink this again?”\n\n“Well for one, if you plan on continuing to travel around and enjoy all of what, or rather, who the savannah has to offer, it’s pretty effective at keeping women bare for a while. At least not until they’re ready. Notice how there aren’t little ones running around?”\n\nNemi has to nod in agreement, taking another faithful chug that warms her body in more ways than one. Her headache finally starts to lift. The drought in her mouth recedes although there's still bitterness in the back of her throat. She licked her lips a few good times, trying to adjust to the flavor as she watched Asha work. The taller yeen had started to rummage around for various items, most of them the herbs she had referred to as she plucked them off the high shelves and stuffed them with spices into an empty jar.\n\nWhen she finishes her drink, Nemi stretches out, settling the cup off to the side so as to not knock it over. Asha returned with a plate of fresh fruit and the newly tied off jar.\n\n“You only need to steep a leaf at a time and once every few weeks. We normally drink ours every full moon to renew the process. Just come back if you run out. We grow it ourselves so we make plenty for new travelers to take with them.”\n\n“Thank you.”\n\nAs Nemi eats, Asha makes herself comfortable snuggling her from behind. They fall into a gentle sway complete with quick nuzzles and purrs from either hyena as the morning settled. Both of them were still swaying long after Nemi finished eating, neither wanting to part the other so soon. Asha takes in a deep breath, sighing into Nemi’s neck as she hugs her tighter.\n\n“Must you go?”\n\nNemi hums. “I have to complete my ritual.”\n\n“You don’t have to. What point would you be making by going all the way back?”\n\n“That I chose to make my own life decisions. Followed my heart. Made some amazing friends along the way. And even better company.”\n\nAsha gives Nemi a quick peck on the cheek. “You will come to visit, right? It’s nice to have another hyena around.”\n\n“I will.” Nemi turns to her with a smile. “Can’t forget you even if I wanted to.”\n\nAsha leans in to kiss Nemi, hands quick to feel the soft fur against her stomach. While their tongues dance around each other, Nemi grew hyper aware of the heat starting to grow in the pit of her groin. Every second of their kiss made her want more. The heat only flooded her thoughts, starting a loose trail of slick to coat Nemi’s lower lips.  Asha’s hands only made the feeling worse as one traveled further down while the other gently cuffed her breast. \n\nNemi pulled back with a breathy pant. “What else was in that drink?”\n\nAsha smiled sheepishly. “Did I also forget to mention the side effects?”\n\n“You did this on purpose.”\n\nAsha shrugged. “It’s not so bad.” Her hand slid down further, dangerously ghosting over Nemi’s sensitive bud. “Makes it all the more pleasurable too.”\n\nNemi grabbed her hand, pulling it back up to her stomach. “I have to leave. Before I lose more daylight.”\n\n“You’re no fun.” Asha pouts.\n\n“Maybe next time.” Nemi smiled, standing up to part away from Asha and gather her things before she’s lost in the moment. Again. “You’d have my undivided attention then.”\n\n“Promise?”\n\n“Promise.”\n\nMany of the women oversaw Nemi as she left back the way she came. With quick goodbyes and promises to meet again later, she continued to make the journey back across the savannah. A dark overcast follows her way back home. She’s back at the river long after the sun sets, hoping to make up for lost time now that she knew her way back. However, the river was completely different. Wider than how it was before she left, Nemi could only deduce that the sudden storm flooded the river and it still hadn’t receded. She couldn’t even see the crocodile's marked stone path, no doubt somewhere beneath the current that trapped her on the other side.\n\nShe took a moment to think, foot shuffling around a few loose rocks in thought before she got an idea. With one good throw, she tosses one of the larger rocks as far as she could, hoping to get the crocs attention if he was still in the area. After waiting a few minutes, she tries again, tossing in another rock right as the man lifts his head on the bank.\n\n“Well, well, well. Someone seems a bit more……confident, I should say.” He grins.\n\nNemi doesn’t shy away this time, placing a hand on her hip as the croc eyes her swaying body.\n\n“Those compound folk got you hooked, didn’t they? About time they got another girl. I was getting bored of dealing with the males passing through.”\n\n“I need to get back across.”\n\n“I don’t know if you’ve noticed sweetheart, but the path’s been flooded. Only way to cross now is to risk swimming.”\n\n“So you can’t help me get across?”\n\n“I mean….” He looks her up and down again with a knowing smile before rolling himself on his back. His upper body, along with his hardened cock, peeks out from above the water’s surface. “I could give you a ride. You’d have to-”\n\n“Pay the toll? Fine.”\n\nThe crocodile was stunned as he watched Nemi approach. No way was she the same hyena he had met before. This one didn’t hesitate, climbing over his floating form as she sat against his belly.\n\n“Huh. And here I thought you didn’t enjoy this.”\n\n“I will admit, your cock feels…..different.” She mutters, lining herself up as her lower lips grind against his shaft.\n\n“Better? Thicker?” He grins, using his tail to push them both away from the bank.\n\nNemi loses her footing in the deeper water, cock slipping straight into her pussy as her ass sits on his crotch. Every scale rubs against her heat, fueling the need that she had buried down from earlier that morning. \n\n“Just….different.” She huffs, steadying herself against his belly. “I’ve taken bigger.”\n\nThe crocodilian laughed, hands going to hold her by her hips as he swam. “I can tell.”\n\nNemi pouts before he thrusts up, body rocking her forward then back down into his lap. She continues the rhythm, rising and falling on his cock while he grunts below her. It’s a slow push and pull. She didn’t even mind the act the second time around, head thrown back to focus on the speed. Whatever was in those herbs from earlier did make her even hornier than she was before. She had been holding off until she was well away from the compound, lest she waste time by staying for a few additional rounds. The long and draining process home would be uneventful so she knew to take whatever she could while she was away.\n\nA sudden rogue wave from the river pushed them upwards. His hips rolled her higher, chest bouncing well above his view. The crocodilian smirked, rolling his tongue across his teeth as one of his hands reached up to grope at one of her breasts. Nemi moaned out, eyes closed as her body twitched in over sensitive shocks.\n\n“You’re coming back, right?” He huffed out, fingers pinching and pulling at one of her nipples.\n\nNemi didn’t hear him at first, wet splashes of water filling the void between them as she rode his cock faster. \n\n“Yeah, you’ll be back…” He muttered.\n\n“Wha-?” She finally replied, looking down from her slight daze.\n\nShe was amazed to see that they were both gently floating just a short distance away from the river's edge. Her knees started to settle in the muddy sand beneath them. All that time and Nemi didn’t even realize they were already on the other side. The crocodilian's hands made their way to her hips, keeping her centered as he sat up on the bank.\n\n“I said you’ll be back.” He grunted, grabbing her tail and thrusting upwards.\n\nHis hips drove into hers, continuing to splash the water around them. Nemi moaned out in pleasure with every deep thrust he took, walls tightly clenching down against his ridged cock. She was still unsure about continuing the use of those herbs from earlier. Her body felt warm. Too warm to be considered normal and oversensitive to every touch and thrust inside.. Each bump against her cervix combined with the slap of his balls sent a jolt of overwhelming pleasure down her spine.\n\nHis hand tightened around her tail, raising her ass just a bit higher before slamming her back down. It only took a few more deep thrusts before she was coming on his cock with a yelp. She threw her head back, body freezing up as her orgasm washed over her. The crocodile beneath her only continued to pump into her, chasing after his own end right as she collapses on top of him.\n\nThey both gently floated there for only a few minutes just before a flash of light rips across the sky. Nemi was the first to sit up, not caring about the wet mess between their legs as a low rumble of thunder echoes through the night.\n\n“Rain again?” The crocodilian muttered. “The river’s never going to go down at this rate.” \n\n“I should go then.” She grunts quickly, lifting herself up on shaky feet.\n\n“Are you sure you want to walk now? The marshes can get pretty muddy if the rain gets too bad.”\n\n“If I’m quick, I can find myself back towards a hideout I made a few days ago. It wasn’t far. Maybe an hour away?”\n\nMore lighting stretched across the sky, briefly lighting up the river before plunging it back in darkness. Nemi could tell just by standing on the edge that the river’s current had picked up in speed. She tightened the satchel against her back, stepping to the side to clean herself.\n\n“I don’t think you have an hour before the rain comes.”\n\n“And what would you want me to do? Stay here in the river with you and wait it out?”\n\n“I wouldn’t be complaining.” He grinned as he laid back, not caring about his naked lower half that swayed in the water. “We could get to know each other a bit more.”\n\n“I’ll pass. I’m going home.”\nShe followed the river's edge back the way she came. For a while, every time lightning spread across the sky, she could make out the crocodile's head peeking out from above the water, following her. By the time the rain started, the croc was nowhere to be found, leaving Nemi to face the marshes alone.\n\nMud clinged to the bottom of her feet and only stuck higher the further she walked. The puddles grew dangerously deep with every other one she accidentally stepped in sinking her down to her calf. The lack of light was disorienting, Nemi had to rely on the sporadic timing of the lighting to navigate through the marshes. She couldn't go far as the light trickle turned into a downpour. Nemi was blinded by the rain, forced to rely on her sense of direction to navigate the terrain since her map was surely ruined by now. Her senses was telling her to find higher ground, but where was that exactly, when nearly every direction looked the same.\n\nFinally, came the feeling of harder ground beneath her feet. Not exactly free of mud, but the puddles were shrinking in their size. A good sign as the grasslands didn’t sink nearly as much as the marshes did. If she could just find a shelter nearby, she could wade out the rain until the morning. After a subtle snap of something nearby caught her attention, Nemi raised her spear.\n\n“Whose there!”\n\nShe couldn’t see that far in any direction. Gray mixed with the darkness of light was the only thing she could see. Her body tensed up, hyper aware of how out in the open she was without proper cover. A lucky streak of lightning filled up the sky once more, illuminating a set of eyes and a round shadow crouching a good distance away. If it hadn’t been for the figure choosing to stand up, she would’ve deduced the eyes as another animal caught in the storm. They grew closer after a second strike, too close for comfort as she chose to raise her spear.\n\n“That’s close enough! Don’t make me hurt you!”\n\n“Or what?”\n\nNemi’s entire body tensed to the voice that suddenly came from behind her. She hardly had the time to turn around before she was overpowered and pushed to the ground. Her spear was snapped in half, belongings rummaged through as she struggled against the weight of someone large who had her pinned in the mud. Whoever it was that caught her had no intention of letting her go as they tied rope against her wrists and ankles. So as she was hauled off in an undetermined direction, Nemi was left to scream and fight back against the one who took her up until she was effectively knocked out.\n"
