"Aww, I was expecting something raunchier. I mean, she's not your grandmother," she chided, and I swatted her playfully as we settled into our sleeping bags.
As she snuggled into my arm, and rested her head against my chest, she let out a wistful sigh.
"This feels so surreal," she said, and I stroked her hair comfortingly, as I studied her.
"How so?"
"You've been in actual mortal peril at least twice today, and we're just... lying here, and going off to sleep like it's nothing," she said.
"For the time being, this might be the new normal," I said, and she made a dissatisfied sound in response.
"Makes you wonder, though; even if we deal with Palancar, and that monster out there that's hunting us... what if another threat just pops up?"
"Then we deal with it," I suggested, and she sighed.
"What if it just never stops?"
"Well, that would be a pain in the ass. And I really, really, hope that that's not gonna be the case, but... if I can get to end those days by coming back here, and going off to sleep with you in my arms? Then, maybe it's not so bad."
"Oh~? Guess you better make sure you never lose me, then," she said.
I wiggled her nose affectionately and we said our goodnights, but as I drifted off to sleep that night, those words seemed to resound in my head.

Food, glorious food!
~Gobble it all up, before it eats me~.
That last meal was barely a snack, but I can now digest an adult core in less than twenty minutes.
Beat that, Zera!
Wait... who's Zera?
Never mind that, time to hunt the food!
There!
I see one, but is it a tasty?
Bah, a little one.
Barely worth the effort, but... master has suggestion?
Yes, snatch the little one, and let it squeal.
Then the tasty ones will come!
Swoop in, but watch the claws.
It's so easy to slice up a little one when I can't see the claws.
*Success*
Now squeal little piggy, squeal!
.
.
.
Huh?
That's strange.
The tasty went quiet... both of them.
And there's these strange creatures.
"Hey, you! What have you done to the tasty?"
They look like tasties, but smell like master... like me.
What are they saying?
"It's a mindless fucking beast, man. What do we need it for?"
"Shut the fuck up, Caleb. You're not in charge anymore."
So rude... talking amongst themselves while claiming the tasty.
That was my tasty!
Mine!
Maybe I can snatch it from... uh-oh!
"Oh? You want this? Why don't you come and get it?"
I eye the strange thing...
It looks like a tasty, but I can sense it.
A core like mine, and master's.
Better to be careful.
I leap up to the tree, then swing but-
My hand!
What did it do?
My hand is stuck!
What is this... webbing?
Now I'm surrounded.
Ahhhh!
This is so frustrating.
Master would have swatted these puny things like flies!
But I am not strong enough yet.
"You want this, don't you?"
It dangles the blue orb, and I feel my stomach growl.
"This core can be yours, and many others. But this is worthless. You need cores with some real strength. We'll show you how... and much, much more. Just submit to me."
Submit, huh?
Guess there is no choice, since I can't beat them anyway... but, maybe this can be useful indeed.

Geon54about 2 years agoOkay, Bianca isn't a favorite of mine but I'll be cutting her a lot of slack from now on because of this LOL exchange when she starts to give Nate a BJ:
"Hey; this isn't for pleasure. Get to it," Casey chided (Bianca), and she turned and gave the her a dirty look.
"It's a process, okay?"

The Hnn~ is just a term for Hmm or huh, but with the ~ signifying a slight musical note at the end. whether that be to signify a question, an acknowledgement, or a type of comment.
ex.
"Hey Mom."
"Hnn~?"
"What's for dinner?"
"Shepard's pie, go set the table."
Lwcbyover 3 years agoThe sex has become boring, a good story, but the endless mindless yapping about relationships, and the boring sex almost ruins it. Having to skim alot.
Anonymousalmost 4 years agoBeen waiting for Nathan and Gisela to hook-up. Finally!
Excellent story. Amazing world, and a whole pantheon of characters. Looking forward to the next chapters.
jpz007ahrenalmost 4 years agoAwww man. You mean I have to impregnate all these beautiful young women just so I can help heal the princess who is my concubine? Well... I guess if I have to, I'll take that burden upon myself. Its a King's duty to care for his people, isn't it? "Poor" Nathan ^.^
Nice development for quite a few of our girls. Really loved the wood nymph scene. So excited to what may develop out of that, and how it might help the pair mend the rift that was forming between them. As well as what new possibilities may occur as a result of this.
I guess I got what I asked for, and it was wonderful. I imagine it was probably already written by the time my comment was posted, but I'm thankful nonetheless. Them not needing to journey for several more months will give them more time to prepare for the oncoming siege that we know is happening, even if they do not. Here's hoping everyone can build and grow and learn fast enough to deal with what's next.
~Also, if the outro is who I think it is, I look forward to the pet becoming the master. Even though that will probably make Mr. Gruber more dangerous in the medium/ long run. Though who knows, people can change. Monster's certainly change, in one form or another. Let's see where this goes, yeah?
Anonymousalmost 4 years agoAstrid is a refreshing new addition to the story. I absolutely love that she holds no reverence toward the "Gods" but rather almost a sort of disdain for them. And the fact that she straight up loathes Casey is hilarious! & I laughed out loud reading her response to Cameron after she confirmed she was Nate's Mate.
That was a super bummer to find out the Disc launcher was a mutation & not a weapon; however, since I am a Taurus, I will stubbornly refuse to believe this is the end of the matter. Instead I will use this story's own rules to propose that just like Jasper was able to graft his arm to Hans, the Mutation could be grafted to one of the Gods & still be used as a Weapon, In fact, I think Casey has an open limb that could use a new appendage added to it. ;)
I can't help but find Gert's death suspicous. I want to suspect Palancar sought to off him so as to keep what they did quiet; however, I can't see what the end game of using White Fire would have been. Palancar is so close to Gert's grove that using such a device would have spelled the doom of Palancar too. For that reason I think it was an attempted suicide/murder, & by that I mean Gert was probably thinking If he cant keep this Grove then he'll take them all with him & Palancar too.
With the Princess's current state being what it is, unconscience, I find the concept of knocking her up to be very uncool & rapey; in a Snow White, Sleeping Beauty kind of way (the origanal Brothers Grim Version, not the G rated Disney version).
Finally, despite what Casey has previous stated her actions & behaviors make it clear that she most definately wants to be having Nate's baby. I am curious to see how long she can keep up the act before she finally accepts the truth.
