Chapter 206

Taylor's group was sitting with Eve and a group of elves. With the courses laid out before them, and everyone around smiling it was a little weird. They were happy to have such delicacies around, but everything felt so unreal.

Their entire time in this world has been nothing but a struggle to stay alive. Earlier this morning they were facing a gruesome fate, but now they are feasting with the sound of laughter around. Seeing the company they were in Taylor couldn't help but rethink their journey.

The dragon they desperately fleed from resembled some of the present company. Remembering the direction pointed by Shiva, and which led them to the deathstalkers who were trying to help.

'So many died because of my mistakes.' Taylor clenched her fist with a pained look.

Brian reached over resting his hand on top of hers. Given her leadership role, and the way she looked at the dragon warriors it wasn't hard to see the issue. Eve saw the way the two looked at each other and gave them both a warm smile.

"I didn't go over this during the tour, but the room's on the upper floor are the ones best suited for couples." Eve teased.

While Eve was having her fun a group of women was slowly approaching the table. Leading the group were a few nymphs, and behind them were women with lime green skin. Each of them was wearing a sleeveless white dress, that barely covered their thighs, and in their hair were flowers.

The three sets of twins on the left were the Liliraune. They had green sleeves trailing from their hands up to a pair of white lilies wrapped around their biceps. They had pink hair with a white lily on the side of their head. Their long elegant legs with petals wrapped around their lower thigh is an enticing sight for many observers.

On the right side of the nymphs are three alraune. Each of them had a natural corsage on their wrist, and thin vines twirling up their arms. Their hair came in different shades of green, but each of them had a pink flower atop their head.

Each of them had a welcoming smile on their face and they gave off a pleasant aroma. They were looking around the hall filled with curiosity. This was their first trip away from their flowers. Typically they could wander only a few feet from them in the wild. The mana-enriched environment with the effects of the divine tree allowed them to bloom in record time and helped them grow as a species.

So long as they stayed within the boundaries of Eden, and their flowers remained unharmed they could wander freely. They would get frequent visitors in the forest, but they were always sad to watch them leave at the end of the day. With Eve's assistance, they practiced diligently around their home in the hopes of visiting the city.

Taking a seat across from Eve is an alraune named Mary. She had spiky green hair trailing down her back, and alluring purple eyes. The slender white dress exposed her delicate collar bone and busty frame. Mary leaned over the table to grab Eve's hand and Denam got a view of the pink tips from the corner of his eye.

'No bra?'Denam averted his gaze.

"Thank you for all your help." Mary smiled.

"Your mother would be proud to see how beautiful, and sweet you've become. Avoiding the influences of others isn't that easy." Eve replied while glancing at Lilith.

"Are these your friends?" Mary asked.

"They are new in town and are still trying to decide if they're staying," Eve replied.

"I'm definitely staying," Wesley stated.

"It's safe here so I am too," Denam said while glancing at Mary.

"I'm sure there are no ulterior motives to that." Zess chuckled.

As Zess finished his sentence Amara walked by with the rest of her household. His eyes were glued to her swaying hips, and red tails flowing gracefully behind her. Feeling his gaze Amara glanced over winking as she walked away.

"Your right things are more secure here, and we have access to food," Zess told Denam.

While the others were debating staying Athlan had the dolls retrieve some of the new rum and whiskey. Not long after they retrieved five massive barrels the nearby warriors feasting got up to rapidly form a line. At the front of the line stood Lincoln, and Risa.

"Didn't think you were a drinker," Lincoln told Risa while filling up his cup.

"I don't, but my friends do," Risa replied walking away with several cups.

'Such a thoughtful lady.'Lincoln smiled.

'This should be enough for those two lightweights. Once they're drunk they will fight for sure.' Risa smirked staring at Ericka and Felicity.

Kishi had been observing those in the hall quietly from a distance. It truly was an unusual sight before him, but he only seemed interested in scoping out powerful opponents. After getting a whiff of the liquor his attention was redirected.

Ren seeing him interested stepped forward to break the ice. Having another oni around would give a good spar partner to warm up after pregnancy, and she wanted to ensure he would circle back.

"You can borrow that for now, but I'm gonna need it back in five months," Ren told Kishi while tossing him a gourd.

"If Zack let you out then you can't be that bad, but if you plan to stick around find a way to make yourself useful," Lilith said while walking towards Eve.

Following Lilith are the dragon princesses and Bernadette sisters. Without Zack around, they were heading to the bath to wait for his return. Seeing them gathered together Yu approached with the rest of her troop.

"Care to join us?" Lilith asked Eve.

"We are entertaining some of the new guests," Athlan told Lilith.

"I thought they wanted to visit the bath, but I guess they can go when it's packed," Lilith replied while walking away.

"We should go while we can then," Brian said while gauging the group's opinion.

"Some of us should help clean though." Ms. Bishop replied.

"The dolls handle that once the areas are clear of residents. If you wanna go I can escort you." Eve smiled.

"Can we bring our drinks?" Miguel asked.

"Yes, you can. There are stations inside for refills as well, and dolls standing nearby if you need assistance," Athlan replied.

Ms.Bishop got up with the other students to accept Lilith's offer while a few others debated on joining. Seeing Eve's group, and a band of beautiful women going the decision was easily made for most. Marc's curiosity outweighed his shyness when he saw the kakuens eyeing their table whispering, and giggling as they walked away.
