The Apprentices Part Tree
by Michael Jacks
(Scene -- CREON's home -- the noon meal. NAOMI is setting the food on the table as the BOYS and YOUNG ONES run in, boisterous and happy from the day's practice. THESEUS and CHARYBDIS see NAOMI and quickly sit, hiding their young manhood. NAOMI still makes them nervous. As the YOUNG ONES rush in, they run straight to the table and plop down next to their BOY for the day. CREON enters and takes his place at the head of the table.) CREON: Naomi, you have done well -- again. Eh, boys? (The BOYS all agree and dig into the feast of fruit, nuts and hardbreads which NAOMI has laid out for them. ) PRAXXUS: Did you see the three perfect markers that Charybdis threw? THESEUS: Yes, I did. How do you do it? CHARYBDIS: Just lucky? THESEUS: Not likely. TOELMY: Theseus hit two perfect markers. CREON: Yes, he did. You are both growing in skill. CHARYBDIS: Are we good enough to win at the trials? CREON: In spear throwing? Not yet! But with practice and diligence you will have a good chance. THESEUS: Is that all? Just a good chance? CREON: Isn't that what we all have? The gods will smile on whom they wish. All, well at least many, of the boys are as good as you are. It is the competitive spirit that will also be tested. Starting this afternoon and every day from now on you two will be pitted against each other and the winner after two weeks will receive a prize. CHARYBDIS: What prize? THESEUS: Yes, what? CREON: A surprise. PRAXXUS: I think Charybdis will win. TOELMY: I think it will be Theseus. CHARYBDIS: (Smiling to THESEUS) I think they know something we don't! THESEUS: (Laughing) How can you judge, Master Creon? We each have our strengths! CREON: (finishing his meal) Yes, and we will see who is the more competitive. I will retire for my mid-day nap and you best do as well. Naomi, will you attend the apprentices. NAOMI: Yes, master. CREON: Praxxus and Toelmy -- take the rest of the banquet away and clear the table. Then leave the boys alone. PRAXXUS and TOELMY: Yes, sire. (The YOUNG ONES grab the plates and platters and hurry out, winking at the BOYS. CREON exits. NAOMI stands there, looking, staring, boring through the BOY's naked bodies.) CHARYBDIS: I don't know about you Theseus, but Naomi's gaze makes me nervous. THESEUS: Yes, and excited. Whatever we are supposed to do, I hope I can stay here, hidden. NAOMI: Our master has told me to give you release before your afternoon ordeal. CHARYBDIS: You mean we will lie with you?! NAOMI: No, I am to remain a virgin. But I am to give you pleasure before your nap. CHARYBDIS: (Standing up, erect and swinging) I'm ready. NAOMI: (Smiling) So, I see. THESEUS: The only secret I have from you and now... NAOMI: It will be gone. I know. Master Theseus, I can tell you that I enjoy seeing you naked, you and Master Charybdis. It gives me great pleasure. But because of my vow, I am bound, as are you, to honor the sanctity of my person. My pleasures come only through my eyes. I envy you. You can take your own pleasure at any time, with any one you choose, except me. As for your secret, I too, have a secret. I have watched you, both, as you enjoyed each others lovely, strong bodies and I have wished to take the place of either of you and be the object of the other's attention. CHARYBDIS: I have dreamed about your body many times, Naomi. THESEUS: As have I. CHARYBDIS: You are truly beautiful. Do what you will, I am ready. NAOMI: Theseus? THESEUS: I ... I thought I was getting used to being around you. (Standing) I have grown used to being naked with Charybdis and the Young Ones and I enjoy it, now. I enjoy wrestling, running and even sleeping and eating -- well, just living naked. But when you are near, I feel I insult you with my erection. NAOMI: (Walking past CHARYBDIS she puts her arm about his waist and leads him to THESEUS, where she stops) On the contrary, your penis honors me. As does yours, Charybdis. It tells me that you think I am attractive. Theseus, that you worry about what I think, I am very grateful for your compassion and concern. As I said, my pleasures come through my eyes and if this (touching each BOY's penis) is my pleasure, looking at two handsome, young men with the full stature of the adult man, (plays with the shafts) long, strong and perfect, I must be content with this one moment that we are about to share.
(NAOMI stands hip to hip with the BOYS, facing them) CHARYBDIS: I am sorry for my selfish and unfeeling response a moment ago. NAOMI: It is all right. I deal with my desire every day. I desire you, one or both, every night. Yet, I am alone. (She wraps her hands about each BOY's penis and begins caressing) Master Creon will not even break my virgin knot. But he daily instructs me in how to please a man. I hope, for my first try, it will be good enough for you. CHARYBDIS: You are doing well already. THESEUS: Yes, your hands are soft and gentle. (NAOMI uses only her hands in long, fluid strokes, from base to tip of the BOY's beautiful phalluses.The heads shine under her attention. She attends them lovingly and caringly. She then lies them on their backs and positions herself to best stroke them. The BOYS lie there in ecstasy. Looking at each other, they hold hands as this beauty of a girl strokes their spendid, young symbols of manhood and caresses their inviting scrotums, ripe with the promise of life ) NAOMI: I don't quite know what to expect. THESEUS: You have seen what happens when we do it ourselves? NAOMI: Yes. I have watched many times. CHARYBDIS: You honor us with the truth. THESEUS: The same will happen when you stroke as when Charybdis or I stroke ourselves or each other. CHARYBDIS: The milk will flow, especially at your touch. NAOMI: When? CHARYBDIS: As you increase the rhythm and speed of your stroking. NAOMI: (Increasing) Does it feel good? THESEUS: It feels...fine. CHARYBDIS: It won't ... take...long! (The BOYS entire bodies are tightening in pre-release anticipation. NAOMI looks down, strokes faster and faster up and down the engorged love shafts. The BOYS have their eyes shut and their stomachs are tensing. And suddenly their penises stream forth in globs of nectar. NAOMI smiles as the BOYS moan, writhe and grunt in orgasmic pleasure. She keeps the stroking motion up until the BOYS can take no more and place their hands on her hands to have her stop.) NAOMI: Is it all right? THESEUS: It is more than all right. NAOMI: Did I do it well? CHARYBDIS: You did it excellent well. NAOMI: I am glad. (She caresses their faces and chests) I have shared a private moment with two boys I care about. I have been intimate with boys I have longed for. I am content that I have touched you and shared in your sexual strength. I am amazed at the size of your phalluses. Are they both what I may expect from any young male? CHARYBDIS: If you mean will the same thing happen with anyone, yes. If you mean are all males given the same equipment, no. We are both much smaller than Creon. I am slightly larger than Theseus, but he is two years younger. THESEUS: My experience is limited, but I think every male is a different size and sometimes shape. CHARYBDIS: I like the differences, it makes sex interesting and unexpected. Some are big like Master Creon. THESEUS: Some men never grow much larger than Praxxus, my father is one who is very small, but he has seven children. And I have heard my parents take their pleasure often, even of late. The pleasure you can give a male's phallus is the same no matter his size or age. Even Toelmy and Praxxus gain pleasure from their penises. CHARYBDIS: And I am sure that any male lucky enough to get you as a partner or mate will try his best to please you. And you will be fulfilled no matter his size. NAOMI: Have you ever been with a girl? THESEUS: I had never been with boy or girl before I came here. It is so new and overwhelming. Charybdis is a good lover. And now a beautiful girl has given me pleasure. Even if I can't return the favor I can wish I could. (THESEUS is certainly well-educated and considerate. We can tell he comes of a good house and family) NAMOI: (Smiles) And you? CHARYBDIS: I have been with Master Creon since you and I were five. He taught me everything I know. I have never been with a girl. But Theseus is a natural born lover. NAOMI: Maybe we all are. CHARYBDIS: Maybe so, you sure know what to do with your hands. NAOMI: With your help. (A look passes between them. NAOMI stands. She hands them towels) Here wipe yourselves off and retire, for the heat of the day is oppressing. THESEUS: (Standing, penis now soft, and wiping off) Thank you. NAOMI: I have not seen you soft, Theseus, at least not much, not since that first day. THESEUS: With you around I cannot stay soft. CHARYBDIS: (wiping off) Me either. There is something about an attractive person looking at you... NAOMI: (With a final caress of each penis) A phallus is a beautiful thing. CHARYBDIS: I agree. But your breasts are lovely, also. THESEUS: And your face is heaven. May I kiss your hand? CHARYBDIS: Me too? NAOMI: Yes, that will be all right.
(They gently take her hands and kneel to kiss them) NAOMI: I guess we are all made for giving and receiving pleasure. THESEUS: Good day, Naomi. NAOMI: Good day. CHARYBDIS: Good day. (CHARYBDIS nods at her and smiles. NAOMI exits. The BOYS look at each other as the start for their chambers. During their walk, they are silent and contemplative. Their hands entwine. The reach their chambers to find PRAXXUS and TOELMY asleep on the pillows. They carefully and quietly lie down on either side of the YOUNG ONES and enfold them in their arms. The YOUNG ONES respond rolling and turning to fit bodies together as they all drift off to sleep in an embrace.)
(Scene -- CHARYBDIS and THESEUS running hard across some landscape near the mountains. They are, of course, naked, and are enjoying the freedom. They are alone. But they must meet CREON at the end of their course. They run over several hills, through fields and up a steep mountain slope where they stop to rest and enjoy the view)
THESEUS: Zeus was kind in creating such a lovely color for water. CHARYBDIS: (Amazed) I don't know if I will ever get used to your deep insights. You are amazing. THESEUS: I only report what I see. CHARYBDIS: You always see more than I ever do. THESEUS: But you can see it, if you take the time to look. CHARYBDIS: I'd rather look at you and your incredible body. (THESEUS leans over and kisses CHARYBDIS on the lips, tenderly and softly. As he breaks CHARYBDIS pulls him back for another kiss. CHARYBDIS holds THESEUS in the embrace and THESEUS submits as CHARYBDIS kisses down THESEUS's face, neck and chest, stopping at his nipples. He tongues them and THESEUS is in heaven. He moans and leans back. CHARYBDIS moves, kissing and licking down THESEUS's strong body, across washboard abs and into the region of THESEUS's temple, his boyish-manhood, his pleasure-rod, his phallus, his young and now completely erect and throbbing penis. THESEUS' hands roam over CHARYBDIS's body, searching for pleasure places. As he lies on his back THESEUS finds CHARYBDIS laying over him, sucking contentedly on his erection. THESEUS finds CHARYBDIS's anus and pierces it with his finger, CHARYBDIS moans -- and moves to have THESEUS taks his enormous boystick into his mouth. The camera moves in and around, as the BOYS choke on each others pleasure-sticks. CHARYBDIS reaches the point of orgasm and his back arches repeatedly as THESEUS is slurping and gagging in the effort to drink down the load that has been spewed into his eager mouth. Then THESEUS himself starts humping in anticipation and CHARYBDIS rams THESEUS's penis into his mouth, drinking down the tart-sweet semen of his boy-masters tool of love. After their ejaculation, both BOYS lie with their lover's penis in their mouths, tonguing it and kissing and licking at the large testicles within the loosening scrotums. They are content.) THESEUS: Can we ever get enough of each other? CHARYBDIS: I can't. My every moment spent in your presence stimulates me. THESEUS: Now, who is poetic? CHARYBDIS: It's true. As often as I could lie with you I would. THESEUS: Do you think you'll get married? CHARYBDIS: I don't know. I may have grown too fond of your penis to ever settle for anything else. THESEUS: Including Naomi's supple breasts and hidden treasure cave? CHARYBDIS: There you have me. I do not know. My penis longs to taste the firmness of her thighs. THESEUS: I long to taste the firmness of her breasts and have her pleasure me with her lucious lips and then for me to bury my manhood deep within her and give her the pleasure she deserves. But I too, am not sure that I will ever marry. I will be a bachelor warrior, like Creon, and train boys to be warrior- lovers, like us.
(PAUSE) CHARYBDIS: I would like to stay with you forever. THESEUS: And I with you. CHARYBDIS: But can we forgive each other for wanting Naomi. THESEUS: How can I not? CHARYBDIS: That is true. I love you, Theseus.
(He kisses THESEUS) THESEUS: (Breaking the moment, carefully) And I love you, Charybdis. (Realizing) But if we want to have the parts to love with we must get to Creon! CHARYBDIS: May the gods of Olympus be merciful on us! (They tear off down the hill, back muscles churning, buttocks flexing and grinding and arms pumping. As they go out of sight the camera cuts to CREON, waiting. Over his shoulder we see the BOYS coming into view. CREON smiles at their happy faces and swinging penises and fast running. The BOYS arrive, breathless and panting, leaning on their knees. ) CREON: Well, the slaggards finally arrive. CHARYBDIS: Sorry, master Creon, but the sight of the sea and the mountain air begged us to pause for a rest. CREON: And no doubt the call of your longings kept you busy on the mountaintop? THESEUS: We stopped to rest... CHARYBDIS: It's no use. He knows. CREON: Of course I know. You love each other and I am proud and happy to have such fine boys fulfill their destinies with each other. I had hoped you would be good for Charybdis, Theseus. And you have been. He has learned of the gentle man from you. He has learned of the thinking man from you. (CHARYBDIS looks pained) Do not worry, Charybdis, Theseus has learned much from you--how to love and be loved -- how to fight and win. How to be strong around the most beautiful girl in the Aegean lands. For ten years you have lived with and respected Naomi, Charybdis. You now have both pleased me with your restraint around her. A lesson you will need someday. You worry for her, you protect her, you hope not to embarrass her. I am proud. You have treated her like your sister-goddess. THESEUS: Then why today? CREON: It was more for her than for you. I know how you want her. I know your penises strain for release when she is near. It is normal and natural. You are young. Love and sex are always present, always there for you. I too desire her at times. But our life is with men and a man's love. I learned that from my master. We may stray to women at times but we always come back to this... (He takes their penises in his hand, the camera follows) ...the strength of a warrior and the heart of a dove all combined in one, long, stem of manhood. And that is why I let her touch you. She too, has desires and she has been the faithful virgin. For ten years she has watched both Charybdis and his penis grow and erect. But she needed to know how to love a man before she leaves us. CHARYBDIS: No! CREON: Yes. She is leaving after the trials in a few weeks. She is ripe and ready to marry and her new master has called for her. CHARYBDIS: (Teary) What will our household be like without her? CREON: I will find another. CHARYBDIS: She will not be like Naomi! CREON: You are right --and it is good to feel that way. THESEUS: (Breaking down) Why? I too feel that way and I have only known her a very short time. CREON: It is good for you to have a sister to love and protect as you do Naomi. You will never forget her or your love for her ... or her love for you. There is always one woman that a man can never forget. Your's is Naomi. It makes a man who he is. It lets him know pain -- and joy. It is best. (Both BOYS fall to CREON's arms and he embraces them as they cry briefly.) You have also learned that men cry. And you cry like men, not like babies. You have come so far. My young, god-like warriors. (They look up at him and he kisses their brows, tenderly, fatherly. The camera fades as it pulls back on the two naked BOYS being cradled by the loinwrapped CREON in a moment of truth, tenderness and heartbreak.)
(Scene-- that night in the BOY's chambers. PRAXXUS and TOELMY are playing some sort of game. CHARYBDIS and THESEUS are conversing, getting ready for sleep) CHARYBDIS: I will love Naomi forever... THESEUS: Yes, as a thing unattainable. CHARYBDIS: She lived with me for my lifetime and touched my heart. THESEUS: And your penis. CHARYBDIS: (Smacking him) I'm trying to be poetic. THESEUS: Then write it down. Don't spout it out loud. (CHARYBDIS is somewhat hurt) I'm sorry. You are right. I know what she means to you. CHARYBDIS: You are right also. I am glad I had a moment with her. And I'm glad I could share that moment with my lover. (PRAXXUS and TOELMY giggle. The BOYS look over and the YOUNG ONES stop -- for a moment, then they burst out laughing.) PRAXXUS: (Hanging on TOELMY) Oh, Naomi -- how I love you. TOELMY: Oh, Charybdis you are so big. How can I ever love you!!!! CHARYBDIS: (Playfully) Why you little... (The BOYS jump on the YOUNG ONES and tickle them and wrestle with them. They thrash all over the pillows, laughing and screaming. CHARYBDIS ends up with TOELMY and THESEUS with PRAXXUS. The BOYS look at each other and nod. They sit on the YOUNG ONES chests, facing the little boys crotches) CHARYBDIS: Now, lie still. PRAXXUS: But.. THESEUS: Not a sound!! (The BOYS reach down and tickle the tiny penises of the YOUNG ONES and they quickly erect. They then stroke them, gently, lovingly, stimulating them to the point of their tiny orgasms as PRAXXUS shudders in pleasure from THESEUS's attention to his boystick. CHARYBDIS, however, gets a surprise as TOELMY's penis seems somehow larger than it has in the past and he looks down just in time to get shot in the face with TOELMY's ripening semen) CHARYBDIS: Theseus! Look here! THESEUS: Toelmy, why didn't you say something? This is exciting. TOELMY: I wanted you to find out by touch not by word. CHARYBDIS: This is wonderful. THESEUS: Incredible. (picking up PRAXXUS in his arms) And this young man will soon join the three of us. (THESEUS kisses PRAXXUS's penis and testicles as he tries to pull PRAXXUS out of his momentary despair) You should be glad for your lover--for I know you are lovers-- as glad as I am for both of you. PRAXXUS: It will not make you love me less because I am the only one now who cannot shoot? THESEUS: You will be loved whether it takes one month or three years for your penis to grow. CHARYBDIS: (touching each part as it is spoken of) You are loved not for your cute penis and your strong scrotum, although that is part of it, but for your handsome face, your fine, muscular body, your quick mind and your loving heart. THESEUS: (Giving PRAXXUS to CHARYBDIS and picking up TOELMY) And Toelmy -- you are loved for all those reasons, also. You are both my little brother-lovers. Much more than slaves. CHARYBDIS: Much more than brothers. (THE YOUNG ONES hug their masters tightly and the BOYS pick them up and lay them down on the pillows, reach over and blow out the lamps and pull the coverlet over all four of their fine, naked bodies. The camera fades.)
(Scene -- The next few days in a montage of activity. CHARYBDIS and THESEUS fighting each other with swords and sheilds. One taking a rest while CREON teaches the other, then switching. CREON massaging each one's back and sholder muscles. PRAXXUS and TOELMY wiping down the sweating BOYS. All four of the Boys singing songs of courage. Sword fighting again. Crossfading to running naked over the countryside, penises swinging and muscles working. Cross fade to more fighting. The BOYS wrestling naked and THESEUS almost winning then being bested by CHARYBDIS. Another race which THESEUS wins. Spear throwing. The BOYS doing their lessons in writing and mathematics. The household asleep. The BOYS all naked on their pillows wrapped in each others arms, hands comfortably placed on the neighboring penis or scrotum. DAYTIME. More wrestling. NAOMI walks by and the BOYS are erect but this time they don't seem to mind. CREON teaching wrestling holds and take-downs. PRAXXUS and TOELMY imitating the older BOYS in battle and the BOYS and CREON looking on. More running and swimming with dozens of other naked boys. CREON reading poetry with all of the BOYS listening. Another night passes as the YOUNG ONES are naked. CREON is playing with them and they are stroking him. The morning finds NAOMI rubbing the BOYS down again after their baths. Then more Sword instruction, wrestling, running, spear throwing, running. Sex between THESEUS and CHARYBDIS as they masturbate each other. Running again, wrestling. And the montage winds down in CREON's bed-chamber with THESEUS standing naked and erect in front of CREON. CHARYBDIS, PRAXXUS and TOELMY are there also, watching for now.) CREON: Theseus, you are about to be initiated into the long line of boy- apprentice-warriors. Charybdis has told you of the practice but you and he have been forbidden to do it, until after tonight. Turn around and bend over. (THESEUS obeys. CREON strokes his massive phallus and places oil on the tip and shaft. He presses it gently against THESEUS's anus. He slides in gently and THESEUS gasps until his sphincter fully opens to allow his Master in. CREON starts gently thrusting.) I have waited ‘til now, ‘til you had proven yourself worthy. All my other boys have been penetrated and now you will be one of them. The action may only be done by a master to a slave or servant. (He is thrusting regularly) From this night, you may do it to Charybdis, Praxxus or Toelmy. Charybdis may do it to Praxxus or Toelmy. Praxxus and Toelmy must wait until I find suitable slaves for them when it is their turn to become warriors. (PRAXXUS and TOELMY's faces light up) Yes, my young ones, you too will learn to fight and love, like Theseus and like Charybdis. (THESEUS moans in pleasure) It does not take long for it to feel good, eh, Theseus. THESEUS: No, master. It is very nice. Do you think it is possible for me to be as big as you, Master Creon? CREON: It is entirely possible. But you must wait and see. (HE begins to thrust more quickly and CREON and THESEUS are moaning and grunting. The camera picks up the fact that CHARYBDIS, PRAXXUS and TOELMY are stroking their erect penises. THESEUS reaches down and strokes his phallus, now enormous because of CREON's penetration. CREON's body spasms and he gasps as he fills his young charge with the secret of manhood, the fluid of life rushes into THESEUS's anus, warming him and THESEUS's penis spurts in gushes of milky liquid. Almost at the same time CHARYBDIS and TOELMY spew their precious semen onto the pillows and PRAXXUS moans in satisfaction. They all collapse, in a spent heap, around CREON and THESEUS. The camera cross fades to later that night. CREON is penetrating CHARYBDIS and THESEUS is penetrating TOELMY. PRAXXUS is underneath the BOYS, who are on hands and knees, canine fashion, masturbating TOELMY and CHARYBDIS. CHARYBDIS has his hand on PRAXXUS penis. CREON spills into CHARYBDIS and CHARYBDIS spurts onto PRAXXUS groin as he continues masturbating the child. THESEUS delivers his load of semen into TOELMY and TOELMY releases his fluid onto PRAXXUS's chest. PRAXXUS's back arches in pleasure and his penis spurts a small amount of the precious liquid. CHARYBDIS exclaims) CHARYBDIS: Master Creon, all of your boys now ejaculate their semen. Look, Praxxus just emptied onto himself. CREON: Are you sure it is not your own? CHARYBDIS: I saw it squirt out. It was his. He and Toelmy are now both young men. CREON: (Reaching over and picking up PRAXXUS) My little man.
(He kisses him on the lips and on the penis) PRAXXUS: And look at my chest. Toelmy's semen is there. (CREON looks and then picks up TOELMY and kisses him on the lips and penis. THESEUS and CHARYBDIS lay next to each other and tickle, caress and fondle each other as CREON continues exploring the young and beautiful bodies of PRAXXUS and TOELMY. He kisses them all over. He fondles their penises and testicles. They return the favor. THESEUS and CHARYBDIS continue their mutual attention which leads to kissing deeply on the lips. After a few moments of love in the afterglow CREON carefully puts the YOUNG ONES to his side and watches the affection between THESEUS and CHARYBDIS before gently separating them.) CREON: Remember that the day after tomorrow is the trials. Let us all sleep now and prepare for tomorrows practice. We must all be at our best. (The camera fades as they all lay down legs and arms intertwined for the rest of the night)
(Scene of the Apprentice Trials with hundreds of naked boys running, wrestling, fighting and throwing spears. Our BOYS should be prominently featured, with penises and testicles swinging as they compete. The screen should be so full that we are almost on penis overload, as we don't know where to look. Everywhere there is a feast for the eye with well-built, well- endowed, finely-muscled boys filling the lens. Boys of ages 12-17 are all competing in the events. The camera follows as the matches are won and lost. CHARYBDIS should win every wrestling match. THESEUS should win every footrace. They are both bested a few times in spear throwing and sword fighting but in the end, amid several other splendid specimens of virile boyhood, they each are crowned as winner of their sport. The final, all around wreath-placing takes in four BOYS. All are nicely built and hung, with at least average penises. Two boys from Creon's competitors are crowned Second and Fourth but CHARYBDIS is crowned First--the winner -- and THESEUS comes in a respectable Third. CREON embraces the BOYS, PRAXXUS and TOELMY are ecstatic as the camera fades on the triumph of classic Greek boyhood, in all it's naked splendor.)
