The grounds cover ten square kilometers. These grounds are surrounded by a five-meter high circular wall that is covered with polished white marble. Within these walls are many buildings. These include the barracks of the royal guard, a media center, a small aerospace port, caretaker's quarters, guest buildings, healing center, vehicle storage, repair facilities and many others. There are also gardens, ponds, a small river, a forested area, and a natural hot springs. The palace itself is set in the middle of it all. Covered, like the outer wall, with polished white marble, it is a four floor twenty meter high circular building with six forty meter tall towers spaced equally along the outer ring. Six hallways lead to the six-floor thirty-meter high central structure like the spokes of a wheel. From this central building rises a one hundred meter high spire topped with the twenty meter high winged figure of the Goddess of Dizyn carved from a single flawless deep blue sapphire and trimmed with gold and silver. Except for the aerospace port, there are no external lights at night other than the powerful lights illuminating the Goddess. On a clear night, the Goddess can be seen over a hundred kilometers away. Michael had only seen the port and the palace, but Feya was enjoying telling him about the rest of the complex, at least as much as she could remember about it. "It has been over five cyankas since I was last here" she said, "I am sure there are things that I am forgetting." "Where is the bonding ceremony taking place?" he asked. "At the Temple just outside the main gate" Feya replied. "Is it as fancy as the rest of the palace area?" Michael wondered aloud. Feya smiled and blushed, "No, the Temples are usually very simple buildings. They are built quite sturdily but they are not fancy. It is left to the royal family to be so ostentatious." Feya was quite embarrassed about this actually. Even though she had grown up in the palace, she had not thought about these things as a child. Her experience at living so simply with Michael on the planet they had been stranded on, however, had taught her that she did not need very much to be happy. She now realized just how extravagant the palace actually was. At this moment, the door to the room they were in opened and a young female Dizyntk with blondish fur and hair entered. She was wearing clothing that Michael had learned was that of a servant. Her name was Risakala and she had been assigned as Feya's personal maid. She came in with her head bowed and said, "Pardon my intrusion your Highness." Feya looked at her and smiled, "It is alright Risa we are not doing anything intimate." Michael was a bit embarrassed as he and Feya were still in bed. It was true that they were not being intimate but they were still naked. He knew that he would have to eventually get used to the fact that most Dizyntk were not overly concerned about nudity. While it was considered poor manners to be undressed in most public areas, it was thought of as nothing at all to be nude in your own dwelling. If company came over unannounced, they would take little notice of you being naked and it was understood that if your visitor stayed for any length of time that you would eventually throw something on. Michael knew this but it would still take some time, he knew, before he got used to this attitude. Risakala looked up and smiled. Her eyes were a very deep red. "Her Majesty wishes to see you and Michael before lunch, Your Highness," Risa said to Feya. "Lunch? Don't tell me we slept through breakfast," Feya asked. "Yes, Your Highness" Risa said, "I came to wake you but you looked so happy that I did not." Feya smiled sweetly at Risa "Thank you, Risa. Tell my grandmother that we will be there after we have cleaned and dressed." As Feya and Michael got themselves ready to meet with the Queen, Kiasyphia was going over a short list of concerns, which she needed to discuss with her granddaughter. The most pressing concern was that of her human mate. So far, the only Dizyntk who knew of Michael's presence were the crew of the destroyer who brought him and Feya to Sapphire, the members of Kiasyphia's immediate family and the palace staff. This would change soon. In just two days, Michael's presence would be common knowledge on Sapphire. In that short span of time, the Queen had to get to know this Human who was to be bonded to her granddaughter. This meant that she had to meet him first. She had talked with Westralen about his talk with the Human. Her mate had found the human to be polite and knowledgeable of their customs. He also spoke Dizyntilin quite well. She had already met her great granddaughter. Aria had stayed the previous night with Kiasyphia and her mates. She was a bundle of energy most of the morning as was normal for a child of her age, full of questions about the queen and the palace and the classes she would be going to. Although the Queen enjoyed the child's presence, she was still somewhat relieved when Lira asked if Aria would like to see some of the grounds. Keeping up with young ones such as her was definitely a young person's job. Kia did not know how Lira could manage. Shortly after Aria and Lira's departure, Feya and Michael arrived. The three of them discussed the upcoming events. First would be the funeral for Feya's mother, then three days later Feya would be officially installed as the new Princess. In between these two events the news of Michael's presence and his relationship with Feya would be spread around Sapphire by the media. "There will be some of our people who will not be willing to accept you on our world, it will not be easy for you", the Queen said to Michael. "I understand this", he replied, "I do not care what they say about me. I have promised Feya that I will never leave her side so they will just have to get used to me." Kiasyphia smiled at this. If the human could keep this attitude then he just might win over most of the Dizyntk on her world. The three of them talked for several more minutes. Then just as they were finishing, the Queen's secretary entered. "Apologies my Queen, but Rear Admiral Zelatira is requesting an audience." Feya stood quickly and put her hand to her mouth, "Aunt Tira", she said in a whisper as she began to tear up. Kiasyphia looked at Michael and explained, "Her mother's half sister, Liracalia's daughter. She has been out with the fleet and I did not think she would not make it back this soon." Then to her secretary, "It is alright Heyla show her in." Heyla stepped aside and in strode a Dizyntk about two inches shorter than Feya with very long flowing brown hair. She was wearing a very ornate military dress uniform. She looked directly at Feya and gasped slightly. Zelatira took a couple of seconds to compose herself and then bowed to the Queen. "Apologies, My Queen, for the abruptness of this intrusion", she said with her head stilled bowed. "No intrusion at all, we are always happy to see you Admiral Zelatira", Kiasyphia said in very formal tone. Then with a smile and a gentler tone, "Now come in and welcome you niece home." She straightened and walked to Feya and stopped directly in front of her. Feya was crying as Zelatira gently stroke her cheek. Then she wrapped her arms around Feya hugged her tightly. "You look so much like your mother", she said with her face nuzzled against Feya's shoulder, "I am so happy that you are safe." Feya was returning the hug and whispered, "I missed you so much Aunt Tira." They held each other for several minutes. Then Tira looked up from Feya's shoulder and stared at Michael for a few seconds with her topaz gold eyes. The look was not hostile; she seemed to just be looking him over. "This is your mate I presume?" she asked Feya softly without releasing her embrace. "You already knew?" Feya asked. Then she realized "Of course, grandmother would have told you. Yes this is Michael. I know he is human, but.." was all she said before Tira interrupted. "I do not care!", Tira said as she nuzzled Feya's shoulder again, "Do you love him?" she asked in a whisper. "Yes, very much", Feya replied. "Is he kind to you, is he kind to your daughter?" she asked. "Yes, of course he is", Feya said as she held her Aunt tightly to her. Tira pulled away from the embrace and took Feya's hands in hers. "Then I do not care that he is human. I only care that you are alive and that you are happy." Tira then walked over to Michael and bowed her head slightly. "Thank you for keeping her safe." Michael saluted out of reflex and responded, "It was my pleasure admiral." Tira looked him over again for a moment, "Military are you?" "Yes ma'am", Michael responded, "well at least I was." Tira nodded thoughtfully, "Rank and position?" "Lieutenant, Courier pilot, Admiral." She smiled a bit at this, "An officer? Good, that will make things easier. After all of the ceremonies are finished I will have things to discuss with you lieutenant." Michael could only wonder what she could want to talk about, but answered, "As you wish Admiral." Then Zelatira took her leave saying that she needed to go find her mother and greet her properly while she was at the palace. Michael asked the Queen what Tira could want to talk about. Kiasyphia had no idea, saying that Tira had always been one to do things her own way. The next week went by rapidly. The news of Michael's presence on Sapphire and of his betrothal to Feyalisa was spread across the planet. The reaction of the population was subdued. However it seemed that there were many who were not happy with the situation as the Queen had predicted. After Feyalisa's coronation she spoke directly to her people. "My fellow Dizyntk of the planet Sapphire and all of those who will hear this recording across the Empire let me start by saying that I am so happy to be back home. I am grateful to the crews of the various starships of the fleet that searched, sometimes at their peril, for my mother's transport. I am also thankful to all of you that welcomed me home with such enthusiasm just four days ago." Then she went straight to the matter that she knew was most important, "All of you now know that a human has returned with me and that he will be bonded with me in three days time. The reasons for this have been explained in the various news releases of the last two days. Many of you still ask how I can bond with a human when so many lives have been lost in fighting with them." She looked down slightly, trying to keep her emotions in check, "I know this pain as well as any of you could. My mother, my father, my brother and sister were all lost when our transport slammed into the planet. I was dying as well when this human, Michael, pulled me from that wreckage. He then spent the next three months keeping me alive and helping me recover." Feya then looked up and smiled, "The simple truth is that I love him. I love him as much as anything I can imagine. He has given me my life and more importantly he has given me my child. So I ask that you, the dizyntk of Sapphire, let my mate have the chance to show you that humans are not what many of you think they are. Perhaps in time this will start to heal the rift between our two races. I hope that it will. If even half of the humans are as kind and caring as Michael has been towards me then I pray to the Goddess that we may one day be able to live beside them peacefully. Thank you, my people, for listening to me. May the Goddess bless you all." Over the next three days there was much discussion across Sapphire over the bonding of their Princess with a human. While there were a few that were completely against it, the majority of the people seemed to feel that the human should be given a chance to prove himself. Besides which most of them also agreed with the Princess' hope that this might help with relations with the humans in the future. So by the time of the Bonding Ceremony fully two thirds of the dizyntk on Sapphire at least tacitly supported their Princess. The Rite of Bonding was a simple ceremony. The only Dizyntk in the temple were Feya's family. Feya and Michael recited the Rite to each other. Then Liracalia affixed the bracelets that marked them as bonded to their wrists. Afterwards Feya and Michael retired to their quarters. Feya gently stroked her mate's face and said softly "now you are mine forever." Michael smiled and responded "as if I were not before." Then he picked her up and carried her to their bed while she kissed and nipped at his neck and ears. He laid her on the bed and then kissed her deeply, his tongue darting into her small mouth and twirling with hers. His hands stroked all over her body. He rubbed and squeezed her breasts, stroked her legs slowly and licked and nibbled on her ears. Feya then started to try and push him onto his back but he stopped her. "Not yet, I am going to play with you a bit more" he said with a wicked grin. She smiled and closed her eyes and said with a lustful tone, "oh, that means you are going to tease me doesn't it?" Michael slowly stroked the tips of his fingers up and down the slit of her pussy causing Feya to gasp slightly and arch her back a little. "Yes I am" Michael responded "do not pretend that you do not like it." Feya giggled a bit before her mouth opened and she drew a sharp breath as Michael pushed two fingers inside of her. He slowly worked the fingers in and out of her as he sucked and nibbled on her nipples. Just as she was reaching climax however, Michael stopped and let her cool down a little before he began stroking and licking on her again. He kept this up for nearly an hour before he spoke to her. "Usually you would have begged for me to do more by now" he said. Feya smiled. Her breath was ragged and she was glistening with sweat. She looked at him with those beautiful green eyes that Michael had fallen in love with the first time he had seen them. "I have promised that this body is yours to touch and to use for as long as you want." she said to him "So you have" Michael said in response, "but I have promised the same to you. Tell me what you want." She put her hand on his face and looked into his eyes, "I want you inside of me, I want to orgasm with your cock inside of me, I want to feel your seed squirting inside of me." Michael sat with his back against the headboard and lifted Feya on top of him. They kissed and licked on each other as Feya stroked his hard cock slowly with her small hand. Then she put the head at the entrance of her pussy and slowly pushed down until it was completely inside of her. She rode him slowly and sensually as they kissed. Michael's hands were stroking her ears and her tail. After about fifteen minutes, Feya began riding faster and harder. She was licking and biting on his shoulder as he put his hand on the back of her head and licked on her neck. Then her climax hit her and she bit down on Michael's shoulder. The combination of her clenching pussy and the feel of her teeth sinking into his shoulder caused Michael to begin shooting his cum deep into Feya's pussy. Feya released her bite as her head snapped back and she let out one of the loudest and longest howls Michael had ever heard from her. Then she totally limp. Michael held her as she slowly came back from her brief moment of unconsciousness. She leaned her head against his neck as she slowly licked the blood streaming from his shoulder. Michael gently stroked his fingers through her hair. "I think that was the first time you ever bit me" Michael said to her. Feya just nodded her head in agreement as she continued to lick and kiss at the wound she had made. "If teasing you that long made you cum that hard, I should have done it before" he said. Feya sat up straight and looked at him, "No, that was not good. Scratching is one thing but I should not be biting you." Michael stroked her face and shook his head. "No, it is a very good thing." he said "If it means you had good time then I want you to bite me, besides I did promise that my blood is yours did I not?" Feya smiled slightly and nodded, "yes, you did." Then she went back to licking his wound. "So, how long do we have until you have to start your duties?" he asked as he held her. "It is traditional to give those newly bonded three days by themselves." she answered as she continued to gently clean the blood off of his shoulder. "I don't suppose that you might have your estrus in the next three days?" he asked. Feya stopped and looked at him, "Probably not. Why, are you wanting another child with me?" she asked sweetly. Michael smiled at her and nodded "yes, more than anything" Feya had been partly joking with her question and gasped at his answer. "But we had decided that we would wait till Aria was five." "That was when we were stranded on the planet but we are not there any longer." Michael said, "Do you want another child Feya?" Feya hugged him tightly "Yes Michael, yes I do." "Then when your next estrus starts we will have to work on giving Aria a younger sibling." Michael whispered as he licked and nibbled on Feya's ears. Feya kissed him deeply as her hand stroked at his cock. Then she slowly slid her pussy down on top of it until Michael was completely inside of her. She began riding slowly up and down on him as she gently stroked his face. "Well until then lets just practice making a child so we can get it right when the time comes." she said as her breath quickened. Michael laughed lightly at this, "Yes I don't think we have nearly enough practice at this." Feya stopped for a moment, looked him deeply in the eyes and said in a very serious tone, "No we do not. I will always, ALWAYS, want you inside of me, touching me, pleasuring me." Then she kissed him deeply and began riding his cock even faster. For the next three days Feya did her level best to wear her mate completely out. Except for sleeping and stopping to eat a little she was constantly touching and licking and stroking at him. Not that Michael was complaining. He returned the favors wholeheartedly. Feya knew that when her duties started that they would not have as much time together as they were used to. So she wanted to make sure that she got as much of him as she could right now. She also knew that her Aunt was probably going to give her mate new duties as well. She just hopped that she would not be too lonely during those times that they would not be able to see each other. What Feya did not know was that someone she had not seen in six cyankas was on their way to Sapphire at that moment. Someone who would make sure that Feya would never be lonely. . . .
