Zone & Tempest

The Turning Wheel

Chapter 1 by michaelmt1 michaelmt1

Julie had long ago crawled into a bottle and found it a very warming place to be. The only men in her life were Jim Beam and Johnny Walker. At twenty-four she thought that he whole life had ended. Twelve short months ago she was a superb athlete selected to represent her country in the pentathlon at the Olympic games.

She had the looks and the brains that made her stand out in any crowd. A feminine yet muscular body standing an impressive 6 ft tall 160 lbs 34 26 34 small breasted at a B cup she resembled some sort of Greek goddess. Dark skinned blue eyed blonde hair she had the world before her, but her strive for perfection lead her to use steroids to enhance her body.

Despite all her efforts she could still remember the day her tests came back positive, banned for life. She lost her job her endorsements family and friends all deserted her. She couldn't even find a decent man to fuck. Due to her physical attributes, she could easily find men to fuck her, but not the right kind of men. Her ride to the stars had come crashing back to earth and in reality there would be no survivors.

Sleep rarely came with out the assistance of and this night was no exception. Stumbling from the bar back to her down town hotel room she fought with the roaches for a place on the bed. She reached up to feel something strange on her face and felt some dried semen. She briefly recalled sucking off a man in the bathroom of the bar. She remembered the dirty stall with graffiti all over the walls and the disgusting toilet, but she couldn't even remember what the guy looked like. She sighed and rolled onto her back, staring straight up. The ceiling as it had done on countless occasions before spun in a sickly manner.

There was no reason to continue this senseless existence any longer, Julie thought. From a rather plain looking bag she pulled a bottle of pills and with her last measure of scotch she swallowed the entire contents of the bottle.

Waking from the most bizarre sleep she had ever endured and shaking her head to clear her mind Julie realized she was still alive. "FUCK, can't I do anything right?"

Looking around her she realized she was no longer in her room. All around her were trees and in the distance she could hear the sound of a creek cascading over a small waterfall. It was still dark yet she could see quite well. She was still in her bed yet it was here in the open a road passed by just beyond the trees she could see it yet there was no traffic upon it. Julie at first thought she had been , but she felt her face and noticed that the dried cum from before was gone. She was reached down and inserted her fingers into her hairless slit. She then placed them into her mouth and didn't taste anything but her own juices.

Bewildered, she realized that she was naked and her clothes were nowhere to be seen. Remorsefully, she sat upon the bed trying to figure out what had happened to her, how she had got to this place. had clouded her before but not to this extent. There was nothing with which she could conceal her modesty and decided she had no option but to follow the road and try to find somewhere that she could steal some clothes. It wasn't the first time she had wandered around naked in public.

Approaching the road she had a simple choice left or right. To the left the road meandered down towards the sounds of the creek to the right it climbed a great hill the choice was simple left.

It was not long before she found the ferry stop one used normally by cars. Well it was more of a tin shack with a barge sitting at the creek, well it was more of river then a creek at least 500 yards of water to cross. A sign near by said "None shall pass unto the other side least you pay the Ferryman." Strange wording, she thought.

There was no doubt that she would not find the clothes she desired here and turn to walk the other way only to discover that the road was totally missing. It was there a second ago.

"Who calls upon the ferryman?" a gruff voice boomed out at her.

She could not see any one and her attempts to cover her self were comical at best. Eventually resolved that she could not conceal the fact that she was naked she decide to seek help from the disembodied voice.

"Can you help me? I'm lost and I don't know how I got here, please help me!"

A monster of a man emerged from the shadows his legs resembled tree trunks he was 7ft tall if he was an inch and at least 300 pounds every inch of him was muscle he was her picture of the ideal man.

"I've been expecting you Julie, those who try to take their own life all eventually pass my way. Don't question me or try to deny it. You are dead to your world at this point in time, if you are to return you must first descend into hell. There you will be judged by your actions, if the wheel turns correctly you will return and your life restored and rewarded. You must now pass to the other side but not before you pay the ferry man."

Julie knew it was useless to question this it made no sense to argue.

"I have no money to pay you," she said holding back tears of desperation. "Besides we have a saying where I come from, Don't pay the ferryman till he gets you to the other side."

He howled with laughter, "My dear you are naked, you carry nothing, I know you can not pay me. I want you to bring me something back from the other side for I can not enter that land. You must find me the Ring of Setf for only with that can I be free from this place and enter Zone and Tempest. Should you bring this to me I will return you to your place of birth and to any place in your time line that you want. Being so returned you can correct what ever wrong saw you come to me. Once you have the ring you need but only call my name and I will come to you."

Naturally Julie agreed as they crossed the river the ferryman explained about Zone and Tempest.

"Imagine a world and upon that world are 600 perfect circles each with a diameter of 100 miles. None of the circles actually touch at all. At their closest point they are 50 miles apart. Each circle is a perfect microcosm containing totally different life forms from the adjoining eight. The dominant life form in each could be known to you or could be totally alien. You can find your self in a place where an intelligent plant could be dominant, centaurs in the next. Humans exist in various forms as do crosses between humans and animals Pan the goat man is to be found. Be ware though for you are a warrior and while the races each produce these you will desirable as a mate to many races. This can be to your benefit as it will gain you many favours but can bring unwanted attention. Remember too that there is all manner of creature real and imagined some magic exists in this place you would do well to remember that.

"The tempest too is a dangerous place for here there are few rules any thing and every thing will work in the tempest do not go there lightly and cross at the closest point and with protection.

"We are here I am dropping you at Gabrath the land of the goat people, Walk true warrior and may the Wheel turn well for you."

Before she knew it she was standing on the shore of a River the ferry man had vanished.

In the bushes a creature stirred, he stepped from the bushes. This creature had the top half of a man except that it had horns on its head and wool not hair and the body of a goat. It was naked not being able to judge she still considered that he was well endowed his goat cock was at least ten inches long as it hung between his leg.

The goatman place some sort of flute to his lips and started to play.

What happens with Pan?
