Heather and Tina enter Marks bed chambers, around the room twenty mystic guards stand. Being not of
this world, sent by Joy, to guard Mark while hes under the spell of the crystal, at the foot of his bed
three tigers sit, waiting. Mark curled up in the middle. They wait while Joy makes her final arrangements
for Mark.

Tina:
Any clue what Joy has planned?

Heather:
No, she just said to wait, she will come and get him.

Tina:
What if he wakes up?

Joy steps from the Mist:
He cant until I let him, now lets go.

A swirl of mist and they all appear in a meadow. Marks curled up on in the finely groomed grass. The
Guards stand at attention, their backs to the group. Inside the circle stand 20 Huulken.

Now you two, You need to leave the circle for a bit, I need to do something first with him, once Im done
we all can have some fun.

Tina and Heather look at each other.

Tina:
Is he going to be ok?

Heather:
Im not to sure about this Joy, him not in control.

Joy:
Hes perfectly safe here, nothing can get in here unless he blessed them. And any he blessed would
never do him harm. Now please step back, you can watch, but you must stay outside the circle. Heather,
I will call you in, but wait till I do.

Joy walks over to Mark and lays down besides him, touching his muzzle his eyes open.
Love, youre safe, I know you must be confused, but know you are safe. For sometime now you have
suffered from one thing to another. But as of today, there is one thing I can change in your favor.
Standing around us are Huulken priestesses, with their help I plan on removing the lust you carry. I wish
I could remove the rage, but there is no way without really changing you. The lust at least is a side effect
and I can change this.

Mark mind is racing, he can see and hear, he can feel Joys touch, but he cant move, he cant use his
divine, he has no control. He can feel that Tina and Heather are close.

Now Mark, you need to let me reach into your mind, into you heart. This will be painless, in fact its very
pleasurable. Thats better, Im going to roll you on your back, and the priestesss are going to start with
the changes. Just relax and go with it. Some weird things are going to happen, but its all harmless to
you.

Joy gently rolls Mark over, the priestesss come over and softly start to chant. As they do one at a time
come over and lay on his chest.

From Heather and Tina point of view they see the priestess lay on him and then their whole bodies
seems to flow into Marks body, becoming part of him for a moment.

After the last priestess finishes. They all circle him once more, in the paws of one of them appears to be
a tiny glowing Fox adult female.

Joy calls out to Heather, Come now Heather Heather walks over to Joy and waits. Now Heather, take
the offering from the priestess. Heather takes the offering. And returns to Joy Now Heather, you have
choice to make, what you hold is Marks Lust. I can give her to a priestess, or to you.

Heather looks up at Joy. What happens if I take it? The Lust will become part of you, your sex drive
will increases ten fold, but your love for Mark will also increase And if I dont take it? A priestess
will, While they all know the effects, none are in love with him, So that one will have a unfulfilling love
life I will accept it, at least I know he loves me and I will be happy A heart filled choice

The form in Heather paw flows into her, the lust filling her. She inhales deeply as she feels its affects on
her.

Joy:
Now Mark we need to teach you the tender parts of love. The parts you were missing will now fill the
place Lust once lived in you.

* * *

A few hours later.

The Last of the Priestess lay down to recover, sleeping and resting, Heather long ago passed out, driving
her body to the limits her lust has pushed her to. Tina lying and purring happily. Now Mark, its time to
release you, remember everything you have learned today. As she removes the crystal from his paw, he
smiles and falls into a deep sleep.

Sleep well love, when you wake you will have a new start.

Mother Nature steps up besides Joy, So did it work?

Joy:
I believe so, I wont know until later. I just wish I could have also removed his rage.

Mother Nature:
No, its what makes him such a powerful god for the innocent.

Joy:
I understand, but at least this will give him some peace, he can now hold a normal relationship with his
family and not hide from them while theyre in heat.

Mother Nature:
So when are you going to ask him for his help?

Joy:
Soon, the Huulken need him. I just hope he is open to helping them.

Mother Nature:
He will, he wont stand by while they suffer. Not when this is a case that he can take direct action in.

The Next Morning.

Heather is now sleeping on a sofa in Marks office, her poor body needs to rest, but her drive wouldnt
let her, Mark puts her to sleep for now. She dreams of happy times, of being happy and playing games.

Back in his Quarters.

SsErcace:
Lisa, have you been with Mark today?

Lisa (Dreamy eyed):
Oh yes, it was the most tender time I can remember.

SsErcace:
You too, Its a nice change. Such tender touches. Did you know he went to the breeders quarters. And
he didnt get into a breeding lust!

Misty:
Nope, and he went there to personally check on them. He wants them relocated to one of the spare
rooms here. Closer and easier to work with.

Lisa:
SsErcace, are you with kits?

SsErcace:
Shhh! Not to loud. I dont want to be locked down like Tina was.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rose? How are you doing?

Rose:
Im well sister, just lonely. Marks been so busy he hasnt drop by to visit.

Star:
Then go to him, he will always see you, he always welcomes us.

Rose:
I know, but he needs his full attention on this war, not a goddess who is lonely.

Star:
Now, you know better, if he knew you were lonely, he would come right away.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the FPTS Ship Swift Seas, a lone Lioness stands, her last grandkit in a coffin, there on a leg of their
trip home, on stop is with the Luna to deliver supplies, While there were shorter and faster ways home,
She had to be on this one, the only one heading to the Luna, the only one to her target, she keeps
repeating He has to pay, its his fault Her heart broken, her family lost, Nothing left to live for.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sitting at his desk, Mark deals with a lot of problems, mostly fleet movements, planetary treaties, things
that have to have his input. Very few times has one of the problems that come across his desk been
corruption of a crew member. And even rarer is it dealing with an enlisted member. For the last hour
standing at full attention is a Sergeant Grendal. Yama sent a notice of his action dealing with supplies.

Now Sergeant, Do you know what you are here for?

Sergeant Grendal:
No Sire! I was ordered to report, thats all I know.

Mark:
Well Sergeant, you have been accused of black mailing a Civilian officer for parts and supplies. Telling
this officer to give you something so he can have authorized supplies and parts. How do you respond to
this?

Sergeant Grendal:
Sire, that is how I have always done business. (The Sgt has no clue why he just blurted that out, but now
knows he in real trouble)

Mark:
I see Corporal, You

Sergeant Grendal:
Sergeant, Sire.

Mark rises a eye brow.
I see Private, as I was saying now, you have admitted to a crime, I will not have this on my ship. You will
be discharged after serving thirty days in the stocks. Now get out of my sight!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mark, I need your help.

Mark:
How can I help you Joy?

Joy:
Mark, this is a big favor. My people need your help
