Charlotte, who was in her room, felt her master's energy somewhere in the domain. She felt happy and immediately stood up, heading towards the location.It didn't take long to spot Elvis, who is surrounded by some demi-humans of various beast kin."Master," she called, "you are back."Elvis turned back and saw Charlotte running right towards him. "Yeah," he replied.Charlotte jumped and hugged him tight; this caught the demi-humans beside Elvis by surprise. 'Who is this woman?' they thought.Charlotte noticed them staring at her, so she glared at them, which seemed to frighten them. 'Damn, she's dangerous, although not up to the level of Sir Dragon,' they thought again as they retreated backwards a little."Can you tell me what happened here? Why has this place changed so quickly?" Elvis asked, releasing himself from her tight embrace."Fufufu, I knew Master would be surprised," Charlotte said, while the demi human elders were relieved that the scary woman had called Lord Dragon, mast
When Elvis and Diana took flight, soaring toward their beloved mountain after the meeting.The clang of the kingdom's bell echoed through the land, summoning all to gather before the stage where Enzo stood, a towering figure commanding the attention of the gathered masses."My friends, the time has come for us to leave this place," Enzo announced, his voice ringing with authority. "Lord Dragon has offered us a new home, one that promises to be even better than this."A wave of murmurs swept through the crowd of demi-humans of various beast kin, shock and disbelief etched upon their faces. Fearful whispers echoed through the crowd: 'Have the humans discovered us? Are they coming for us?'With a calming gesture, Enzo silenced the panicked voices. "Fear not, my friends." Lord Dragon's offer is one of kindness and generosity. "We have nothing to fear, so prepare yourself by tomorrow."Despite Enzo's reassurances, some still harbored doubts and mistrust toward Elvis. The thought of leaving
Elvis quickly went to the same spot that the pendant had burrowed into."System, what the hell is happening!?" He quickly asked.[The pendant is a seed; it contains the essence of its former self.][Does the host want to merge the essence energy with the domain plane or germinate the seed?][Merge/Germinate]Elvis was speechless; Dryad's soul essence had been in the pendant all along, and he immediately chose the option to germinate it, fearful that the system would take it away.[Please drop your blood on the spot where the pendant is buried.]Elvis quickly did as he was told; he cut his finger and allowed his blood to drop on the exact spot where the pendant buried itself.The blood hit the ground and was quickly absorbed; he felt a tight connection to something now, and then, within a few seconds, a small sapling sprouted from the ground."Eh, that's all," he thought as he stared at the little sapling that was so green and tender.[A Dryad spirit tree in the growth phase]"Master,
Elvis rose to his feet, his demeanor reflecting a somber contemplation. He turned to face his companions, his voice resolute as he spoke."Gentlemen, I am grateful for your warning. But to ensure your safety, I believe it best if we maintain a distance from each other until this situation has been resolved."With that, Elvis cast a final glance over his shoulder and exited the inn, leaving behind an air of silence that was only broken by the soft rustle of clothing as Drew and the others hung their heads in quiet acceptance. They knew that Elvis's decision was for the best, even if it left a sense of emptiness in its wake.Elvis made his way towards the back of a dimly lit alley. He knew that the danger was imminent and that it would be best if he kept his distance from those he held dear. With a heavy heart, he opened and stepped through the mist gate and into the busy and thriving domain plane.Amidst the hustle and bustle, he noticed a group of elves tending to a small Dryad tree.
Richard cradled his stinging cheek, seething with anger and confusion. What could he have possibly done to deserve such treatment from the alluring Miss Charlotte? He dared not voice his complaints, and instead held his tongue as the young woman approached him with a cool air of authority."Master requests your presence," Charlotte announced, dabbing at her hands with a delicate handkerchief. "He wishes to see you in a few days, when you are free.""Yes, Miss Charlotte," Richard replied with a submissive nod, still clutching his aching cheek.As the woman turned to leave, Richard felt a surge of defiance rise within him. He clenched his teeth, mustering the courage to confront her."Miss," he began, his voice quivering with anger. "Why did you strike me? I cannot recall any offense I may have committed to earn your wrath.""That was for delaying me outside," Charlotte said coolly, without a hint of remorse."What?" Richard thought, disbelief flooding his mind. "I had no idea you were
Under the cover of night, Elvis soared through the sky, his dragon-black wings propelling him forward as Charlotte raced across the rooftops of the city, guiding Elvis towards Williams's abode. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the sprawling mansion, and Elvis landed quietly in a secluded corner, with Charlotte slipping inside undetected.Both were dressed in all-black attire, their faces concealed behind masks. Elvis pulled out a map, scanning it for the location of the underground prison. Spotting it, they moved quickly and stealthily, their steps guided by the map. So far, they had encountered little resistance, a testament to Richard's effectiveness in keeping the guards at bay.As they approached the far end of the mansion, they could see the entrance to the underground prison. Elvis opened the mist gate and the five volunteers stepped forward, eager to assist in the rescue of the enslaved. These volunteers were an eclectic mix - Diana, a demi-human beast kin, another dem
As Elvis stood before the captive serpent, his unwavering composure was a stark contrast to the fear that had taken hold of Charlotte, who cowered behind him. Though it was the first time he had seen her truly afraid, he remained unfazed."You are no ordinary serpent, for you possess the gift of speech," Elvis stated calmly. "Perhaps you have chosen not to take human form, or it is simply beyond your capabilities."The serpent remained silent, but its eyes betrayed a hint of admiration for Elvis's composure."Would you prefer to be freed from your confines, or do you find solace in your cage?" Elvis queried."Do you have the power to set me free?" The serpent asked skeptically."Tsk, how dare a mere snake question me!" With a sharp intake of breath, Elvis revealed his demi form, half dragon and half human. Black scales covered his arms, cheeks, and snake-like features emerged.A curved black horn sprouted from his head, his dragon wings spread wide, covered in iridescent scales, and h
As they emerged from the underground dungeon, Elvis and Charlotte were met with a formidable surprise. The air was thick with the presence of guards, all converging upon them with malicious intent. A figure stepped out from the shadows, his rotund frame revealed in full view. The man began clapping, slow and deliberate, his laughter ringing out like the toll of a death knell."So, you're the one who brought down the black market, and now you dare to step foot on my land," Williams spoke, his voice dripping with disdain. "A foolish mistake, my dear. We know all of your plans."Elvis remained calm, his face a mask of composure. Charlotte, meanwhile, was itching for a fight, eager to take down the guards that surrounded them. But Elvis held her back, his hand firmly grasping her shoulder."Why do you presume that I was the one who destroyed the black market?" Elvis asked, his voice steady and unwavering."Why, because we have intel that you enslaved my son with one of your abilities.
