◈ Chapter 112:

The black furred rabbit person paced past the hole in the wall where the still form of Rain lay, his body unmoving. The rabbit was clearly wary, one paw resting on the pommel of a shortsword buckled to his belt, digits tense.

“Curious,” he murmured, “...

Lyra squinted at the magical map, studying the small mark that represented the town of Silvara, a few scratchy lines of ink describing a wall with triangular roofs behind.

She moved the map to one side and looked down on the actual town of Silvara, honestly...

“She who lays with monsters should look to it that she herself does not become one, for if you fornicate with the dark, the dark also fornicates with you,” murmured Lyra looking over her black wool in wonder.

“This shouldn't take long.”

Without pause he turned and grabbed hold of a squawking Lyra, his paw wrapping around her waist. In one motion he slipped over the side of the construction and crashed down to the forest floor below, feet sinking inches into ...

CRUNCH, SNAP, CRASH, RUSTLE.

The forest was disturbed from its peaceful slumber by the sound of innumerable twigs and tree branches being snapped and ripped free, unable to hold firm against the unstoppable force brushing past them.

Hesitantly Rain took hold of the tent flap and pushed his head through.

The interior was large, as was to be expected, less unexpected was that it was full of furniture, like a proper room. Clearly Tamriel had liked her comforts.

Rain was no stranger to eating a lot. He’d certainly had more than his fair share in the dungeon, in Lynthia, and in the woods coming to the Orc camp. He’d devoured countless numbers of animals, monsters, and levelers, consuming them and growing bigger, stron...

Rain shook his head, trying to clear his tired mind. He needed, he needed to get up and… search for Opal.

Placing one paw on the back of an Orc he helped lever himself up, a slow climb onto two feet where he swayed like a tree in the wind, barely managed ...

Rain stared at the spot Opal had just been, his body unmoving, uncomprehending. It had only taken a moment, she was there and then she was just gone, struck down, vanished. It had happened so suddenly that he half wondered if he had hallucinated it.

The Harpy Queen was a beautiful creature, that was undeniable.

Even in this dark shadowy version of herself the clean swooping curves of her body showed through, her form as though designed by some salacious sculpture, hair spilling down her naked back, her overly lar...

The ringing sound wasn't going away no matter how many times Opal put her fingers in her ears and twisted them around.

Making a sour face she flicked the collection of ear wax on her index finger in Lyra’s direction.

After recovering for a moment Rain crawled to his feet, a paw moving to his broken ribs as the motion sent slivers of agony across his body.

Rain had meant to antagonise the Orcs enough that another would step up and fight him, better that than simply being executed, helpless to prevent it while the girls were held under threat.

But perhaps he had gone a tiny bit overboard.

Lyra blinked in surprise and searched for her. No Opal. Concerned now, she stepped from between the tents and into a main thoroughfare. This time she found the Goblin girl. She hadn't gone far, she was outside some kind of large crudely constructed wooden building...
