Finding Ones True Self; Part 6

Where. Am. I.

Daniel slowly started to wake up. At first he only heard sounds, waves lapping at the shore line, trees rustling in the breeze, ambient wildlife all around. He shifted gently on what felt like warm sand. As he slowly opened his eyes to look around and saw that he was not on the ship. He jerked awake and sat straight up to get a better look as he rubbed his eyes.

The warm sand he had laid on, was almost solid white. The waters of what appeared to be an ocean were purple, and smelled more salty than the beaches back on earth. The trees, while close to looking like Palm trees were different enough to not be. The sky was blue-green in color. As he kept looking around, more and more he kept thinking.’Where the hell am I?’

He went to stand up and that's when he got a better look at himself. His feet were large split hoofpaws, attached to long digigrade legs covered in black fur with specks of silver. It covered the whole of his body as he looked himself over. He saw a nearby puddle and went to look at himself in it. He stood over it and let the sun light reflect back on him. Rubicant was staring back at him. He touch his face and antlers and the reflection mimicked him. The long tail he saw on him started wagging like crazy on its own. He was happy, scared, and intrigued by this. Everything felt so real. Yet he couldn't help but think he was dreaming. He wasn't in his suit, he was Rubicant. The scents, the touch, and the sounds around him. Told him he wasn't dreaming, but how did he get here, and more importantly where was here.

He began to look around to get a better understanding of where he was. For the most part he appeared to be on some tropical like beach. As the wind blew he caught the scent of some food cooking. ‘Alright, survival 101 would state that if I'm smelling food on the wind, then I'm downwind of it and should follow. Maybe actually meet someone that could help. At least that's the hope.’ He thought as he began to walk down the beach. He wished he had some way of knowing what his heading was. Not knowing north was quite disorienting. As he got closer to the source of the scent, it got stronger, and he started picking up the sounds of others. Though if he was Rubicant he wondered what they looked like.

As he turned a bend he saw a tall building, maybe twenty stories in height. On the shore area he noticed others like him. He relaxed a bit, at least now he wouldn't feel completely out of place here. As he slowly approached a smaller one came up to him and blocked his path and spoke in a language he didn't understand. He looked at them and noticed it was female. She spoke again while offering him what looked like a towel. He just cocked his head to the side with a confused looked. She then made a motion that she wanted to touch his head. He nodded to her.

"Can you understand me now?" She asked. "Yes I can." "Good, that will make things easier. Now would Mister Prances Around Naked please wear this towel around your waist?" She said politely with a smile. He gave an embarrassed look "Oh my, sorry about that." As he wrapped the towel around him. "Your new around here huh?" She asked. "Yes, I'm afraid I don't know where here is." “Ah, a first timer, happens to everyone. Stay here for a second." As she walked over to a counter and put down her towels she was carrying and told a, what he assumed was a coworker something and came back over. "Well then, I'm going to be your official tour guide." She smiled up at him. "Th.. Thank you very much." He said. She brighten to him, "A male with manners. Mmm I can see you're quite the keeper." A very embarrassed and confused look came over his face. She laughed a bit, "Don't worry handsome, I'm just teasing you. By the way my name is Julyna what's yours?" "Tavar, Rubicant Tavar." He replied. “My, that is an usual name." She said. He just smiled at her.

Throughout the day while he traveled with her he learned a lot. She said he was on Travaina IV, a planet in the Tarkeesian Belt. Also that most of the society on this planet didn't use any currency, you basically asked for what you needed and it was given to you. Where he showed up was a resort for telepaths. Which he didn't mention that he wasn't one, but that made him wonder why he would show up at a place like this, as they made their way back to the hotel, he had managed to get a few sets of clothes to wear. While Julyna had gone inside for a minute.

The smell of the food passing by him had made him suddenly remember that he hadn't eaten all day. There was a menu on the table so he picked it up, and he couldn't read any of it. He had forgotten that she had done something to him to be able to talk with him. Lucky there where pictures. As he was looking it over a server came over and spoke. He couldn't understand him but assumed he asked if he wanted something. So he pointed to one of the dishes that looked good and ordered two by holding up two finger like pads, one for him and the other for Julyna.

Julyna came back out and sat at the table with him. “Well, I have you setup in a room here at the hotel for as long as you need." She said as she handed him a key to the door. It had 15321 printed on it. "That's your room number. It's on the fifteenth floor." She finished as the food he had ordered came out. She looked at how much it was and commented. "Wow you must really be hungry." "I hope you don't mind as I did order a dinner for you as well. I just didn't know what you liked." He responded to her politely. She was surprised by his kindness to her. Her ears folded back cutely as she spoke, "I.. I don't know what to say, thank you."

They both sat there eating together and lightly chatting until a commotion happened off to the side of them. Rubicant turned to look, and was shocked to the point of being enraged to where his fur was standing on end, as he watched a female being beaten publicly by a male. He didn't understand what was said but he didn't need to. He started getting up to intervene when Julyna stepped in front of him and calmly spook. "Rubi wait please." He looked at her and spoke angrily, "Why?" "Because we females are treated differently on this world." She sensed he was really becoming more and more upset by this. "Please let's just go to your room and I'll explain in greater detail." She pleaded with him. He watched as the male started dragging her away as she cried out. Julyna could see he was having a hard time with it and pulled his face into her breasts to distract him from the scene. It worked as he relaxed and gently freed himself off her. "Come lets talk about this in private." As she took his handpaw in hers and walked him to his room.

He closed the door and turned to see her on her knees on the floor. He sighed a bit loudly, "Look I don't know the customs of this world it's true. Hell I don't even know what part of the galaxy I'm in, or if this is all just a dream I'm having. But don't sit on the floor please. Either take a chair or sit on the bed." His voice was still showing his irritation as he tried to calm down. "I'm sorry." She replied apologetically as she got up and sat on the edge of the bed. He took a couple of deep breaths to relax and sat in a chair. He spook more calmly this time. "Now, why did you stop me?" "Because on this world, when a female enters a relationship with a male. She becomes his property." He sighed heavily as he leaned back, because that meant she had no say in the relationship, and could be abused at will. She continued, "You are a very rare breed of male. You have treated me as an equal all day. Its made me feel special." She said as she laid down on his bed. He stared at her and watched her move. It was obvious she wanted to repay him in that special way. Sadly he just wasn't into it after having witnessed that scene earlier. Instead he went to her and just had her lean on him as he cuddled her. "Where I come from we treat our ladies with the same level of respect and care as we would want to be treated, both in and out of a relationship." He laid down next to her and took more deep breaths to try and relax away the images again. She could feel that he wasn't in the mood to have sex, so instead she persuaded him to lie on his belly and began to give him a massage. She was very good at it as he melted under her touch, and it wasn't to long after he was sleeping deeply.

She smiled softly as he slept. She was glad to have been able to stop him. The emotion she got from him earlier really scared her. She could feel that he wanted to tear that male apart. He had a sense of wanting to protect others if they couldn't defend themselves. But that sort of action here is what could get you in trouble, either with authorities or worse.

She got off the bed and wrote him a small letter on how he could contact her, if he wanted to meet up again. Then turned and licked his cheek gently and left him to sleep.
