In an undisclosed location,

Mr. Smith stood silently in the shadows watching over several people who were working diligently to complete their tasks while others were resting or eating their meals—all while wearing their normal work clothes—and yet another group were gathered together talking amongst themselves while drinking something hot to warm themselves against the cold night air—which made him wonder if they knew how close they really came to dying not long ago...

"You know," one man said with a laugh after taking a sip of whatever drink he held between both hands before placing them upon his chest and looking around at everyone else present, "it's been quite some time since we've had any fun like we used to have back when it was nothing but a peaceful city." He added before turning his attention back toward a dark alleyway, "you should join us."

Mr. Smith looked away as though nothing had happened. He simply stared straight ahead into space without saying anything. He wasn't in

    Stepping out of the shadows, Aiden looked back at holes created by the bullets and then turned to face the person standing right in front of him: "I told you I would kill you if you betrayed us."Aiden's eyes widened at first when seeing Mr. Smith stepped forward—but quickly relaxed once he realized what he wanted to do."It has been quite some time since we last saw each other, kiddo." Mr. Smith said calmly while placing his hand against Aiden's shoulder."I'm sorry for disappearing without an explanation," Aiden replied humbly with concern written across his features as he lowered his head."What happened?" Mr. Smith asked curiously. He didn't want to pry into Aiden's business, especially not now, because he knew how much the young lad cared about Risa and Gregg—and he wanted to respect their privacy.However, there were still many questions left unanswered which made him curious. For example, why had the guild members and monsters attacked them? And most importantly... why had they

    Mr. Smith leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on Aiden. He pondered for a moment before responding, "Utilizing the bond with Draed requires trust, understanding, and respect. It's a connection that goes beyond mere friendship. You must learn to communicate with Draed on a deeper level, to listen to his instincts and emotions."Aiden nodded, his eyes shining with determination. "I want to strengthen our bond. I want to be able to trust Draed completely and for him to trust me in return."Mr. Smith smiled warmly. "That's the right attitude, Aiden. It won't be an easy journey, but with dedication and patience, you can achieve it. The first step is to establish a strong telepathic connection with Draed."Aiden leaned forward, eager to learn more. "How can I do that?""Close your eyes," Mr. Smith instructed. "Focus on your breathing and let your mind become calm and clear. Visualize a thread of energy connecting you and Draed, linking your thoughts and emotions. Reach out to him with

    [Slight R-18]Pushing away a few branches, he jumped back the moment something sprung out of nowhere right beside him, startling him badly enough to nearly fall over backward onto the ground! A small creature scurried past, disappearing between two trees before he could get a good look at it. The thing was about half-inch tall—a tiny little furry ball that looked like it was made entirely out of twigs and leaves—and it was fast too: it darted across his path without making any sound whatsoever until its tail snapped against his leg and sent him tumbling face first into the dirt and grass beneath him.Gregg rolled quickly onto his side and then pushed himself upright quickly as best as possible given how much pain shot through his body when doing so. He shook off some loose soil then brushed himself off as well as he possibly could then stood up straight once more, looking around for whatever had attacked him only to see nothing but space all around him now that he'd gotten up off the

    Aiden stood in an open space that was meant to be used as a sparring area. He was dressed in black cargo pants, shirtless with his abs exposed, and fingerless gloves covering both hands while opening and closing his hands.He turned to Gregg, flexing his biceps, "ready when you are!" He called out with confidence, knowing full well that there would never come a day where someone could actually beat him at this particular skill set—at least not until they had trained long enough together so they became stronger or surpassed his augmentations.Gregg felt a cold chill run down his spine as he weighed his options, he only had the ability of superspeed and could handle a weapon but not as skillfully as Aiden did. He also didn't have the strength of Aiden's muscles nor the speed of Aiden's reflexes either, and Aiden knew it too which was why Gregg was always training alongside Aiden whenever possible, but this time felt way different, almost as though he was taking on another person in his

    Risa took a deep breath, her fangs glistening under the sunlight that filtered through the trees surrounding the sparring area. Her claws extended, glinting menacingly as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other. She knew Aiden was skilled, but she was determined to give him a challenge.Without wasting a moment, Risa lunged forward with incredible speed, her claws aiming for Aiden's chest. But Aiden was ready. He sidestepped effortlessly, his enhanced reflexes allowing him to anticipate Risa's movements. In one swift motion, he grabbed her arm and spun her around, using her momentum against her. Risa crashed to the ground, but she rolled back onto her feet, undeterred.Aiden circled Risa, his eyes locked on her every move. He was impressed by her agility and speed. Risa was nimble, darting forward and back with surprising swiftness. She unleashed a sonic blast, a powerful wave of sound that sent Aiden staggering backward, momentarily disoriented.Taking advantage of the openi

    "We're back," Gregg whispered, his head raised to view the grand splendor of the Secret Lyridian Guild Headquarters. The building itself stood tall like an ancient temple made entirely of white marble and gold trim around its edges and doors. The front entrance led into a large foyer which was lined on either side by statues of various creatures and people who were known throughout history as heroes and villains alike. There were also several paintings hung on the walls depicting some of these same figures in action scenes as if they had been painted right after their heroic deeds had occurred.Aiden felt as though he had stepped inside one of those old fantasy movies he used to watch when he'd still lived at home; he could almost hear the music playing softly somewhere off to his left while he looked up at the ceiling high above him, seeing how it seemed to stretch forever before it ended at a point far beyond his sight. He looked down at Risa, noticing her wide eyes staring upwards

    "How about you kindly come along with me, and there would be no trouble." Brad offered calmly yet firmly while motioning toward the door behind him which led back into the main hallways outside their meeting chamber.Gregg stepped in front of Aiden, shaking his head in disbelief at Brad's words, "You're joking, right? Tell me this is just one of your sick jokes..." Gregg's voice trailed off when he saw that his friend wasn't smiling anymore either. "Gregg?" Aiden muttered under his breath, causing Gregg to turn towards him curiously. "Kindly do yourself a favor by backing off!"Risa took a few steps back from Aiden, sensing a menacing aura seething off him as he glared daggers at Brad. She knew she couldn't stop him from doing whatever it was he planned on doing next; however, if it meant protecting hers and Gregg's, then it was worth it.Brad returned the look unflinchingly before raising his hands in surrender, "I seriously don't want to fight you, Aiden... aren't we frien–"Aiden

    A loud bang could be heard as Brad was tossed by Kranus through an opening on the far wall—a portal leading outside Draenor's borders. The portal closed as soon as Brad's body hit the ground on the other end. Kranus stood over him with a scornful expression. "Our Lord wouldn't be pleased with how things turned out..."Brad groaned loudly before rolling onto his stomach and pushing himself up into a sitting position. His head throbbed painfully while blood dripped down from his nose and mouth. He spat some of it into his hand and wiped it across his sleeve; it came away red and sticky. He looked around at what appeared to be ruins surrounding him; there were no signs of life anywhere nearby. There weren't any trees either; everything looked dead except for what looked like large piles of bones scattered throughout what used to be buildings."Where are we?" he mumbled groggily, trying to remember if he had ever been here before. But he couldn't recall anything specific about this place,

    Raymond didn't miss the nervous look in Aiden's eyes, and he gestured to the waitress, indicating for two more coffees. "Don't look so worried, Aiden," he began, leaning back in his chair. "I'm not here to stir up trouble, quite the opposite, in fact."Aiden gave a small laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. "You have a knack for popping up unexpectedly, Raymond," he said, meeting the older man's gaze. Raymond chuckled, a sound that reminded Aiden of crunching autumn leaves. "Guilty as charged," he admitted. "But it's the only way to catch you off guard, isn't it?"The two men shared a smile, the ice of formality finally beginning to thaw. When their coffees arrived, Aiden took a moment to appreciate the smell, the warmth of the cup soothing his nerves.Raymond's knowing smile widened as he caught sight of the green card. "I see you've been putting that to good use," he said, pouring a cup of coffee for Aiden. "Now tell me, how have you been?"Aiden hesitated for a moment, not sure wh

    The news of their forthcoming child was still fresh in their minds as they sat down to discuss their imminent wedding. The room was filled with a sense of exhilaration, excitement, and anticipation. The huge dining table was strewn with various wedding catalogs, color palettes, floral arrangements, and tentative guest lists. Risa, brimming with an ethereal glow from her pregnancy, was a picture of excited expectancy. Her green eyes sparkled with a mix of joy and anxiety, her fingers fluttering across the catalog pages as she attempted to decide on the most fitting color code for their nuptials."Aiden, what do you think of this one?" She pointed towards a palette that was an array of earthy colors, inspired by nature.Aiden leaned over to see what she was indicating, his gaze falling on the hues of deep forest green, soft brown, and a touch of gold. He studied it for a moment, his blue eyes reflecting the colors she chose."It's perfect, Risa. It truly reflects who we are, connected

    150 - A perfect fit

    [R-18]'When am I never ready?' Gregg replied in his thoughts, but instead of going along that line of thought, he gave her a tender smile as he brushed her hair away from her face and planted soft kisses on her cheeks and along her jawline."You're my dream girl." He whispered softly into her sensitive ears.Zin's breath caught in her throat as she looked at Gregg with a surprised smile. He had said that to her countless times before in different ways and situations, but it felt different coming from him now. He wasn't saying it because it was something he wanted her to do. It was simply how he saw her.With an easy grace, Zin disrobed, letting her clothes fall to the floor until she was wearing nothing but a sheer white slip of lingerie that accentuated her curves and accentuated her light pink nipples that were already hardening beneath the thin fabric. "Must have been the flour and grease on them," Zin teased with a playful smirk, stripping off the remaining clothing as quickly a

    "Is everything alright, Risa?" she asked, her tone hinting at her worry. "You've never declined wine before. Is there a reason you're saying no tonight?"Risa glanced at Aiden, an unspoken question flickering in her gaze. Aiden gave her a reassuring smile, a silent signal for her to share their secret. "I'm not feeling unwell or anything," Risa began, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's just that...I... we... are expecting."The room fell silent, as if the words had sucked the air right out of it. Zin blinked, looking between Risa and Aiden, trying to comprehend the gravity of the news. Meanwhile, Gregg stared at Aiden, his eyes wide with shock."Expecting?" Zin repeated, her mind racing to decode Risa's words. But then it clicked, and she let out a startled gasp. "You mean...you're pregnant?"Risa nodded, a shy smile playing on her lips. "Three weeks along."Aiden reached for Risa's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. He looked at her with such warmth, his eyes sparkling with

    The shadows began to stretch across the rooms of the quaint duplex that Zin and Gregg called home as the golden tendrils of the afternoon sun began to retreat for the day. In the heart of their dwelling, Zin's culinary skills were on full display in their small but well-equipped kitchen. The tantalizing aroma of a home-cooked meal filled the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. In contrast, Gregg's domain was the dining area, where he was meticulously attending to every detail. He nervously adjusted the tablecloth, smoothed out non-existent creases, and repositioned the silverware for what felt like the hundredth time."Gregg," Zin's voice carried from the kitchen, filled with a lighthearted teasing note, "You're going to wear holes into the tablecloth if you continue fussing over it like that."A sheepish grin spread across Gregg's face at Zin's playful comment. "I just want to ensure everything is perfect, Zin," he replied, his voice shaky. "Aiden's accustomed to high-end,

    147 - You got yourself a deal

    A smile, brimming with mischief, gradually began to play across the features of Aiden. The playful glint in his eyes danced as he declared in a voice imbued with teasing suspense, "I'm not going to share that with you." Without any further ado, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a small box with intricate detailing, and handed it over to Gregg, who was visibly caught in the throes of anticipation.Gregg accepted the box with a sense of curiosity bordering on fascination. He gingerly opened the lid, and his pupils dilated in astonishment as they beheld the singular object nestled within the folds of velvet that lined the box. Inside lay a shimmering golden card that reflected the soft ambient light in a playful dance of colors, emphasizing the meticulous engraving of a stylized dragon that marked its surface. The card was encased in a pristine white border, upon which bold, black words stood out in striking contrast: 'What you seek is within.'Aiden, struggling to contain his amus
