Jilly let Nushi climb on top of her after she pulled away from me. I turned around to get my shorts and almost tripped over the Cerberus girls but was able to sidestep around them.
I got my shorts on, scooped up all the rest of the girls' clothing, and then started back after Jilly. I also told the girls to go back into pup form for now, and later I would give them a bath.
I decided that I was just going to rip the bandaid off with Jilly. I had to hope that she just tells me what the problem was when I ask.
"Hey, so are you ready to tell me how this spider cheated?" I asked plainly after I caught up to Jilly.
She was quiet for a moment, but then she took a deep breath and then let it out. Whatever this was, it really bothered her, and I kind of wish that Mary wasn't needy today, but only kind of.
"I asked Lizy to take a bet with me about who could get the most men to come to us so we could feast on them. At the time, I had thought that I knew her q
With my eyes closed now, I could feel the different copies of Windorf, but only one of them was the real one. Now with my eyes closed, I was quickly able to lock on to him, and with this new sense, I could keep my eyes closed.I waited, and I assumed that Windorf was attacking me right away after my comment, but the windbag was made of more potent stuff, it seemed. Regardless I would just have to wait, this was probably one of his tactics to catch me off guard, but I was surprised when I felt him slow down until he stopped moving altogether."That is all," Windorf said, and I opened my eyes, but at the exact moment, all traces of him had disappeared.I turned back and walked back over to the girls where we were all waiting, but then I remembered something and wanted to kick myself."Mary, can you please get down for a moment," I asked Marry, and she listened to me, and then I turned back to the clearing and yelled. "Hey! Come back, that wasn't fair, and I
I looked at Mex, who was rubbing his head, but then I started to feel really weird. It was like a wave of dizziness hit me, and I just tipped backward.Suddenly, I felt like I was sucked into a tiny little pinhole like draining water, and then I was spat out. I felt like I had been turned into rubber and stuffed into a can and then let back out.I immediately hurled onto a pair of black shoes with red feet in them and then fell over. That was not okay, I think I might have shit myself, and I don't think some of my organs are in the right place."I said that was reckless! He doesn't turn to ink like us! I think that you might have just killed him," A female voice complained."Shut it! He is mostly fine; go to him and clean him up! I need to clean my feet now!" The familiar voice of Nixi said, oh so… I puked some more.This was a new kind of messed up; why couldn't… just ask myself… What was I thinking about?"Here, drink
"I needed to bring you here this way because you don't know a lot of things that are going on right now. Mex and the others can not know you are here and do not. To them, you just disappeared, but after we are done here, we will drop you out of the sky, and Mex will catch you," Nixi said plainly after quickly grabbing her tea."What? No, I am not getting dropped out of the sky! Why is this a good idea?! I am just going to walk out that…." I started to say, but then I looked around for the door, and it wasn't there."There is no way to exit this tower unless you are of my bloodline and only with my permission. You will have to trust me in this and listen to what I have to say if you care about Nushi or Lidy," Nixi said to me and then took a sip of her tea while still glaring at me.Damn this woman! Always another trick up her sleeve, but what was I going to do about it?Just because I could handle being around her did not mean that I could take Nixi
"And?" I asked with supreme annoyance.This woman thought she could just push through every thing that stood in her way? Then Nixi could try pushing the way, because I am the way, BITCH!"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" The massive red Demon that used to be Nixi roared at me with enough force to push me back a step."Are you done yet?" I asked, crossing my arms. "I am still alive, and you are still flapping your gums. What is it going to be? Are you going to start smashing things, or should I?" I asked, wiping some of the spit off my face.Nixi looked like she was about to start yelling at me, but then one of the women came out from the side room. The redhead had long horns that ran down the back of her head like hair, but they were thick like Lidy's."Please, this is pointless to keep this up, Nixi! There is something wrong with him, and no amount of intimidation will work with this one. My son would not have picked him if he didn't think that he could
I settled myself down into the chair, and then Perita handed me another cup of tea on a saucer this time. I thanked her and smiled up at her and got a smile that felt like it was almost going to blow the clothes off my body, but then she turned and sat down.The crazy clothes tearing force stopped like it was never even there, and I frowned at the woman."So, I know that you all probably don't see men very much, and all, but can we get to the part where you all tell me what the hell is going on? I get the demon part and the farms, kind of, and now I am slowly starting to put together why Nixi has kept you all locked in here with her. The part that I don't understand right now is why the secret from Mex and Nushi?" I asked, and Perdita is the one that spoke up again."Demons of higher ranks can read the mind of lower-ranked demons," is all that Perdita said.I blinked, and then everything made sense; like a wall of fog had been lifted, I started to put the
I stood up, I had heard enough from eight lifetimes, and it was time to go see the Witch one more time before I have to go back to what I was doing."If I go out the door, so I just take the stairs down?" I asked."Yes… We can send you out if you want," Perdita said with a strained look on her face, but I shook my head no."No, I think one more little wee short talk is in order between Nixi and me. You will all stay up here though, because I plan on pissing her off, so you might even still feel it up here," I said, and all the dark blue skin started to get pale, but none argued, but Frieda, who had been silent the whole time nodded to me."I'll send you down, and then you have twenty seconds to say what to want, then you will be ported above the castle. Mex won't be expecting you, but I think that you are tough enough now to survive," Frieda said with a knowing smile; then, I was standing in front of the small table and two chairs that had been des
"REALLY?! Was that necessary?" I shouted and then growled, but Mex just nodded at me."You are going to have sex with a creature far stronger than you are, and you are going end up with a few broken bones, but you don't want to let that ruin your fun. Now, look at your hand again," Mex said to me, and my eyes spread wide in surprise."Woah! What the hell? How is this even possible?!" I asked in shock as I watched my hand fix itself."That is part of the reason when you have been doing this training. Your normal body composition is seventy percent water, but beings on this world are made of seventy percent Mana or Energy. Doesn't matter what you call it; the name doesn't change what it does," Mex explained."Okay, so then if I get hurt, I will just heal? Does that mean I will be invincible when I am done with this training?" I asked with a strained look, but Mex just laughed at me."You can be killed just the same as before. If I cut your head off,
I walked into the Keep and was surprised to find that Mex was waiting at the bottom of the stairs. I had pulled Mary's tail out of my pants before coming in and ended up stumbling onto a sensitive place at the end of her tail."I guessed that you might want to clean off, so I thought that I might direct you to it. Least I could do for you, thanks," Mex said and started to turn, but I grabbed his arm in confusion to stop him."Hmm? What are you thanking me for this time?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.I wasn't really sure what to think at this point. So much had happened that it could be a number of things."For talking to Clesh, what else? She told me that you talked to her about the spying that she was doing, and she was able to convince Nixi to stop it. I don't know what you said or did to my wife, but whatever it is, do it more! Preferably when I am not around, but personally, I don't care if I am home!" Mex said with a big smile and then turned to le
