[Slightly R-18]He walks around the front of the counter, standing beside her, placing both hands on her shoulders while looking directly at her face."I'm glad you decided to come in today." He tells her with a wicked grin. "I hope we get the chance to talk some more soon. It would be nice having someone new join us for a few rounds of drinks."She nods in agreement, smiling sweetly at him.Drak nods toward Tammy behind the bar and then turns his attention toward another customer waiting patiently for their turn.Confident that the drug he had placed in Risa's drink earlier will take effect quickly enough so he can have his way with her tonight without any interruptions or distractions. Drak offers his hand as Risa stands up straight again; offering her arm as he leads her to one of his lodge rooms where he can have his way with her in private.As they walk past Kristine, she whips back her hair and stares at the duo going into one of the rooms. 'Isn't it that bitch from a few hours

His words come out coldly like before without any emotion whatsoever, which causes Risa's heart rate to increase rapidly within her chest, prompting her breathing to become shallow due to the anxiety which came over her body in response to his question that seemed almost rhetorical rather than asking because he knew what had happened."That bitch doesn't deserve you after what she did when questioning you this morning! I saw her getting it on with another man right in front of the other customers at that bar!" She yells angrily, feeling her anger rising inside her again as she continues to yell, not caring anymore whether anyone heard her or not.Aiden shakes his head slowly in disappointment, not wanting to hear anything else she might have to say after hearing her story and witnessing everything she did just moments ago."I had to miss my meeting because I felt your murderous rage from where I was," He tells her calmly while keeping a stern look on his face showing no signs of remors

Lyris finally speaks, her voice low and ominous. [What took Risa was a rare dragon, one that has the power to transport beings between dimensions and it's drawn to her scent. It will come for you next, so you must be prepared to fight it off once it takes you to its dimension, or it will kill you both.]Aiden grits his teeth in anger at the thought of Risa being taken by this creature.[It is a creature that your father had been seeking for some time, and now, thanks to your journey here, with my help, you finally have a chance to capture it.] Aiden feels a mix of shock and disbelief at Lyris's words. He had no idea that such a creature even existed, let alone that they would encounter it on their journey. He feels a surge of anger at Lyris for putting Risa in danger without warning them of the potential risks."You could have warned us!" Aiden exclaims, his voice rising in anger. "You put Risa in danger without even telling us what we might be up against!"Lyris remains unfazed by Ai

Aiden smiles at Risa and puts a hand on her shoulder, trying to clear the air from her previous question. "I followed your trail," he says simply, gesturing towards the snow-covered ground. "You left a pretty clear path for me to follow."Risa nods, wiping away a stray tear. "I tried to cover my tracks, but I guess I wasn't as successful as I thought. Good thing the dragon didn't have any better luck." Aiden chuckles at her joke, and he says, "I am sure that there are many more adventures ahead of us."Risa smiles at him, and says, "I hope so.""It's alright," Aiden reassures her, standing up and offering his hand to help her up. "Let's get out of here. We have a long journey ahead of us."Aiden smiles at her, then looks around the cave. "Did you find anything interesting while you were here?" he asks.Risa shakes her head. "No, just some scared shitless, rocks and snow. And some strange noises, but I didn't investigate."Aiden nods, then turns to leave the cave, with Risa following

Once he reaches the base, Aiden dismounts from Draed, and walks inside the base where everyone has gathered around one of the many tables in the common room.The guards stare at him in surprise at seeing him and they take careful steps back when Draed snapped at them."Don't worry, he doesn't bite," Aiden says with a chuckle. "Just don't get too close to him."He then looks at the other members who are all staring at him with shock and concern on their faces. He can tell that there is something wrong but it seems like no one wants to come out and say what's bothering them. He then notices Brad standing near an empty table looking uncomfortable and embarrassed. "I knew that you could do it! Brad over here is a spoilsport." Gregg says excitedly with a huge smile spread across his face.Brad rolled his eyes at him and said sarcastically, "yeah, I'm sure you'd have no problem with me trying to tame a dragon if I was ever able to get close enough to do so!"Gregg throws his hands up at hi
