Chapter 327

The day in Eden ran as usual, and with the return of Haruna, the students were partaking in afternoon classes. With Nozomi at her side, they were instructing the otherworlders and Tanya's group on combat training. While this was going on Zack was in his room partaking in some personal time. Early this morning Lilith returned, and they spent the day making up for the lost time.

One could see a room dimly lit with candles. Near the bed was an odd contraption with chains, and leather straps restraining something. The cracking of a whip could be heard followed by muffled moans. With each crack, the room lit up from pulses of electricity.

"wdan diad youah"

Zack approached lifting two fingers as the mouth gag faded. Lilith looked back with a look of ecstasy on her face.

"When did you learn this?" Lilith asked as her tail stimulated her body.

"Every once and awhile Astrid makes a request."

Zack cracked the whip once more as it struck her lower back. Her body quivered her moans echoed through the room. The whip was made of white lightning, and as it contacted the flesh no damage appeared. It would merge with the body on impact sending powerful pulses of pleasure, or pain.

"Th-then bring her," Lilith smirked.

Another crack was heard as Lilith's knees buckled. If not for the chains around her wrist, and straps along the waist she would've collapsed long ago. The gag promptly returned as Zack approached. Lilith's tail attempted to seize his cock, but it was promptly bound.

"That's the second time you've tried to make a demand." Zack smacked her ass roughly.

He was prepared to start round three when someone knocked at the door. Lilith mumbled and nodded at him to check. Her primal urges were running high, but they have been away for some time now. Lilith has slowly matured and taken on more responsibilities to show she could rule at his side.

"Get dress just in case." Zack released her bindings.

"To keep up appearances we need some servants with us. Three of them are native to the realm, and will allow your position to seem legit." Lilith quickly got dressed as the structure dissipated.

"You sure it's not because of Astrid?" Zack teased.

"You know I'm right either way," Lilith smirked while crossing her arms.

Zack pulled Lilith in and admired her beauty. As they kissed passionately his hand gestured at the windows as the curtains opened, and the windows introduced fresh air. When they opened the door together Olivia was waiting.

"Aida wanted to give you a five-minute warning." Olivia smiled.

"Class over already?" Lilith asked.

'Didn't think we really in there that long.' Lilith smiled at Zack.

"Can we let her out now?"

Tami and Tessa were guarding a door with Enochian glyphs glowing along the threshold. Zack lifted his hand as the glyphs faded, and the others stepped away quickly. Astrid sprang through glistening and trying to catch her breath. It was clear she was struggling to break out, and the minute she met Zack's gaze she charged him.

"You didn't have to do that?" Astrid whispered while caressing his body, and kissing his neck.

Lilith joined her efforts as Zack rests his hands along their rears. After caressing it briefly he grabbed their tails administering a strong pulse. Zack quickly seized their hips to prevent their collapse and helped them regain their footing.

"The children are coming so calm down." Zack kissed Astrid on the cheek.

"Sorry." Astrid's senses returned, and she adjusted her dress.

"You two should start packing so we're not rushed." Zack lifted Astrid's chin.

Astrid heard of their trip to the underworld and was eager to make the visit. Not wanting to be forward she stuck to work as the days went by. With barely a week to go, she came to terms with staying in the estate.

"Thank you." Astrid kissed Zack before adjusting his tie.

'I've only seen it in dreams.' Tessa fixed the paintings along the wall.

"I'll keep the house in order in your absence." Tami smiled at Olivia.

"Aida offered to shift a few dolls around if you want a vacation." Octavia offered.

Running into the estate wearing a Koga uniform was Helena. When the regular class finished she began personal courses with Haruna. Any time they trained together Helena would wear a similar garb.

'Did Rolen make the little sword?'

"I wanted to bring them back before the briefing," Haruna told Zack.

"Is Miu attending?" Zack asked.

"She's moving around, but not up to that task yet," Haruna replied.

"Can we go see him now?" Helena requested.

"He's still sleeping." Zack tussled her hair.

"He was moving around earlier." Helena declared.

'She said it could take decades.'

The phoenix originated from an environment similar to the garden. They would only leave this paradise during adulthood to search for a mate. After man was cast out from Eden the phoenix was told to never leave again. For their return to the garden could show man the way back to paradise.

Because of this, they choose to live in the mortal plane. Lacking a suitable environment the rebirth process was delayed. Being positioned at the heart of the city the chick was being affected by the divine tree. After two days of basking in its aura, the chick awoke and wandered in its enclosure.

"He seems to like his new home, but I'm sure he's been looking for you," Aida stated.

Hearing this, and seeing the look on their faces Zack obliged. When they arrived at its nest only Zack entered as the others watched from the window. Walking into the nest it immediately began chirping for his attention. He extended his hand, but the chick was impatient rapidly fluttering over.

"You know I set the room for you." Aida leaned towards the chick.

The phoenix briefly glanced in her direction before lowering its head slightly.

'Finally some acknowledgment.' Aida smiled at the chick before opening the window.
