Stories under the moons

A few hours of riding and the suns had set, as the moons shined across the sky Intalru had grown another apple tree for Velma. Amanda bounced out of the wagon and began stretching before she casted a cloud of spores out. Suddenly a ring of orange capped mushrooms began growing in a perfect circle around her. After the mushrooms grew to about a foot tall they stopped growing and slowly opened their caps.

"Just out of curiosity is there a reason why it has to be in a fairy ring?" Intalru asked and the two ladies stared at him.. "The mushroom circle, back on earth their called fairy rings." He explained before once again reminding himself to quite bringing up earth lingo. "Oh.. It's so we don't have to constantly breath in each other's faces.. I release the spores for the initial hallucination but these keep releasing them to keep it going." Amanda explained before holding a hand up "Can I try one?". Velma tossed an apple her way before going back to munching on the six she already snagged..

Crunch! "Oh these are way too sweet for me.." Amanda said before gently setting the apple in front of the smallest Auroch. "I have more meat if you want.." Intalru said as he made his way to the wagon. "Umm.. no thank you do you have any other edible plants? to much meat isn't good for my figure.." Amanda lied hoping Intalru wouldn't be upset that she thought the meat tasted bad. "No worries Amanda I know this stuff tastes horrible, I was trying to make jerky.. it didn't go as planned, but yeah hold up." Intalru rummaged around in the wagon and pulled a few different seeds and cutting from the pitcher plant he used as a bag. "Luckily the Mogogol found out most stone fruit have poisonous seeds.. and I have potatoes too since you can harvest solanine from them.. hmm what else we got here.. Oooh Cocoa plants are poisonous to an extent too.. looks like I can make plenty of snacks for the 'Show'." Intalru began willing the different plants to grow creating a 'Food Forest' in the middle of the grassy plain. "Didn't you just say those are all poisonous? look I can eat my own poison but I'm not like you and Velma I could die!" Amanda said while looking at the beautiful fruits hanging in the trees.. "Only certain parts are poisonous, and potatoes are edible once they're cooked, also you have to eat a lot of cocoa before it starts having an adverse reaction.. trust me I know what I'm doing here, I was a medical student about to graduate before I got brought here you know.." Intalru said confidently as he pulled a few potatoes out of the ground.

Velma was interested in the new fruit trees so she jumped about grabbing a few of each. "Why do you jump from tree to tree when you could just have the tree give you the fruit?" Amanda asked as she watched the Daphnaie scurry about. "Because unlike you I have to keep moving or I'll get fat! not everyone can just squeeze the moisture from their body you know.." Velma said after jumping down with an armful of random fruits, she was really interested in a bright yellow one that was somewhat oblong shaped, just before she bit into it Intalru shouted. "Wait! you shouldn't eat the skin on that one peel it first.." He was smirking for some reason but Velma rationalized it as he must have thought she looked cute. After peeling the fruit a very fragrant smell reached her nose making her mouth water. Chomp! "Blaa! wa ith tha!" Velma threw the offending fruit away and turned to Intalru with betrayal in her eyes. "That is a lemon.. and I rather enjoy the sour stuff.." To prove his point Intalru willed the lemon tree to drop one into his clawed hand before peeling it and taking a bite.. "Can I try? Amanda asked looking somewhat embarrassed for some reason.. "Sure? but I don't think you'll.." Amanda plucked the lemon from his hand and bit over where he took a bite. "No fair!" Velma jumped after Amanda whom started twitching from the sour overload.. "So sour yet so sweet!" was all she could manage before Velma tackled her.. Intalru would have been worried but he noticed that strangely the both of them were more joking than serious. After finally wresting the half eaten lemon from Amanda Velma realized that the part Intalru bit into was already gone.. she handed the lemon to Intalru. "why don't you take another bite?.. From the other end!" Velma quickly turned the lemon around so Intalru wouldn't be biting behind Amanda's bite... "No thanks I think I'm gonna bake a potato now.." Intalru walked away and began using 'Move earth' to dig a fire pit.

"Hahaha I win!" Amanda was picking on Velma mentally before the Daphnaie turned to look at her with a strange smile.. "I guess a third hand kiss will do.." "NOOOO! Save me!" Amanda began running towards Intalru for shelter before a few roots broke the grounds surface to drag her back to Velma. "Don't be greedy now.. we promised to share." Intalru felt a cold sweat run all the way down his scaly back to the tip of his tail..

A few moments later and the girls had made their way to the fire. "What's that?" Velma said while pointing at a perfectly cubed block of stone. "It's a make shift oven to bake the potatoes in.. they should be done in a few minutes want one?" Velma nodded her head while Amanda stayed back seeming to be drained of her will to live. "My first.. she stole it.. I don't want to live anymore." "Oh please it was technically my first too.. besides you stopped struggling after I.." "Shut up! finish that sentence and I'll push you into the pit!" Amanda cut Velma off as her heart fluttered heavily.. "I don't like girls,I don't like girls, I don't like girls..." Amanda was rocking back and forth as she chanted to herself.

"Velma quit teasing her, and Amanda.. there's nothing wrong with same sex relationships so I think your going a little overboard." "There is if it's forced on you! how would you like it if a guy held you down and.." Amanda cut herself off and began blushing heavily. "Held him down and what?.. Oh! Oooh.." Velma began blushing as well.

Lizard senses tingling.. Intalru jumped up and looked around afraid he was about to be attacked. "Strange for some reason I felt like I was in danger.." He turned to look at the girls and noticed they were both blushing and panting. "Oh.. umm you two ok?" Intalru asked and the ladies began nodding their heads rapidly.. "I know I just said there's nothing wrong with it but I'm not attracted to men, sorry but could you two think of something else? your setting off one of my survival skills and it's very uncomfortable.." The Myconid and Daphnaie looked at each other in shock and tried thinking of something else but the image was already burned into their minds.. "Golden Intalru and green Intalru together.." Velma muttered into Amanda's ear causing her to blush even harder. "I wouldn't mind being in the mix.." Amanda replied shocking the Daphnaie! "I didn't think of that!" Suddenly his lizard senses were screaming at him.. "If you two don't stop I'm not going to show you the other stories!!" Intalru threatened loudly causing Amanda to jump "You can't do that you promised!" Velma just shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly "Doesn't bother me.."

.... "I'll throw you at a giant slime if we run into one.." Intalru threatened. That seemed to have worked, the Daphnaie grew green in the face and his danger sense finally deactivated. After the three ate their fill Amanda ran to the 'Fairy ring' as Intalru called it and sat down. "C'mon I wanna watch something good!" She's acting like a little kid waiting for her Saturday morning cartoons.. Intalru thought while a smirk flitted across his scaled lips. After using 'Move earth' to douse the fire Intalru sat next to Amanda and the two stared at Velma waiting for her to join them. "You promise I won't go weird like her?" Velma asked while pointing at the young Myconid. "I am not weird!, you'll see they are really cool!.. Which one are we gonna see this time?" Amanda defended herself before asking Intalru what they were going to be 'Watching'. "It's called 'Cooking with wild game'. a

And I'm positive Velma will love the female lead.. after that I'll let you choose one of the ones I shown you in the cave and continue where we left off."

....

"Well?" Amanda asked pointedly as Velma looked away from her trying not to let the Myconid see the excitement on her face after the tenth 'episode' "It was.. good, but why does she put up with him! Asuta is so weaak!" Velma was hooked.. She just didn't want to admit it. "So you're saying if you grew stronger than me you wouldn't want me anymore?" Intalru asked quizzically. "... Different kind of weak he can't do anything but cook on his own, and I am stronger than you.." Velma defended her earlier statement before goading Intalru with a smirk. "Hahaha wow that's cute I hope you don't think just because you were able to stab me once you can beat me in an all out fight? I held back and I didn't even have a weapon.." Intalru genuinely laughed even if Velma was supposed to be a highly lethal class and had a level advantage he just didn't see her as a threat and was honestly surprised that she thought she was.

"...Oh really?" Velma had a strange smile on her face "Fine let's have a wager first one to give up or gets pushed to the ground is the loser. Winner can ask for one thing in return!" Velma's face blushed red when she stated the winners reward. "Deal.. but I know you have higher strength and agility than me so don't think I'll go easy on you." Intalru chuckled thinking how easy this was going to be. Suddenly the grass around them disappeared making a large dirt circle.

"This will be our battleground, and No Flying!" Velma jumped up and took a combat stance turning sideways while keeping an arm hidden behind her and lowering the shoulder that was pointed towards Intalru. "If you want you can use your javelins.. we have a healer as our referee just nothing lethal ok?" "Wait! What about my show!!.. Fine but you better remember to give me my episode I wanna watch more Inu Yasha..." Amanda consented as she stepped outside of the 'Ring'. "Amanda toss your umbrella in the air, the starting signal will be the second it touches the ground." Intalru said as he took up a fighting stance of his own.

Intalru had taken up a strange stance in Velma's eyes. Hunching his shoulders and lowered his head while stepping forward with his left foot and kept his claws open and spread about a foot away from each side of his waist.. "Hmph!" Amanda tossed the umbrella high into the air and the Daphnaie and Draconian kept their eyes locked on each other. Tack.. It was light but both of them heard the umbrella hit the ground. Velma dashed forward instantly trying to close the gap as quickly as possible before Intalru could use any spells, but to her surprise he merely stood there smiling eerily, his jagged teeth seemed to have grown as did his muscles..

"Sh!t" She forgot he could shape shift! He always shouts his skills like an idiot so she didn't think he could 'quiet cast' Realizing that he most likely made his body into pure muscle for a short period of time she tried jumping over him to strike him from behind. Thwack! "Oof!" That F*CK!NG TAIL!! the moment she launched over him he lashed out and caught her just below the ribs with an elongated tail.. The swollen muscles were just for show.

Having the wind knocked out of her she used her javelin to pivot against the ground and perform a vaulting kick towards his face. Intalru merely leaned back using his tail to balance himself he allowed the Daphnaie to glide just above him. Before she passed over him completely Intalru plucked her from the air and pivoted his body effectively choke slamming her into the dirt..

"Are you ok?" Intalru asked as he slowly shifted back to his normal dimensions he began dusting her off and checking her eyes for signs of concussion before waving Amanda over to heal her just in case.. "You tricked me.. why do you shout your skills if you don't need to?" Velma was pouting while Amanda had used 'Healing touch' on her neck and head just to be safe. "Because I enjoy saying the skills out loud.. I wouldn't be stupid enough to shout them when I'm fighting someone intelligent.. that's literally saying 'Get ready'.. but I won fair and square by your rules.." "So what are you going to ask for?" Velma was worried he would say something like quit liking him or leave..

"..Can you make it to where a clone of your plant isn't connected to you?" ".... Seriously! ugh! you could have asked for that anyways!! fine! just make another clone and I won't connect to it.." Velma was slightly upset he didn't ask for a kiss but knowing he only asked that so he could smoke the plant kind of p!$$ed her off.. "Thanks! Intalru took the 'Mini' plant he kept on a necklace and willed a branch to fall off of it before having it grow and mature to full size.

The leaves slowly fell away as the flowers grew larger, then he willed the plant to dry out from the stems and used his Mana to 'cure' the buds. Shortly after he used 'stone shape' to create a grinder and watched Velma carefully as he plucked a bud from the plant.. She didn't so much as flinch. "You can't feel this right?" "Do you honestly believe I would let myself connect to a plant that's going to catch on fire‽ no I can't feel it!"

Velma was sulking as Amanda consoled her.. "You did it to yourself you know.. why'd you go and put a wager like that? Did you think he'd ask for a kiss or something?" Ok maybe she wasn't consoling so much as mocking, but Velma appreciated the attention at least.

After Intalru ground up a few buds he used 'Stone Shape' once more to create a pipe to smoke out. "Ngh!" His scales suddenly turned red and Intalru willed a nearby fruit tree to grow a branch in the shape of a torch with a large amount of sap in the round end, then he grew several smaller branches to use as matches.. "Ummm breath?... That didn't work huh.." Intalru mumbled to himself trying to figure out how to breath fire.. after a second he realized maybe he grew a new organ when he changes color! using Mana sense he investigated his body. "Nothing.. fine then let's try.." Whooosh! Intalru opened his mouth and spit flames like a flamethrower. After lighting the torch he cancelled the Mana he was channeling from his mouth and reverted back to his original greeny self..

After lighting a makeshift match he used that to light the herb he packed into his pipe. Puff, puff, puff.. "haaa so nice to be able to smoke again.. Sorry Velma.. Umm you guys ready to watch more anime?" Thud!.. "Ow!" Amanda dropped Velma like a sack of rocks and ran to the mushroom circle.. "Yes please!" Amanda said while sitting there positively beaming... "Velma you gonna join us?" Intalru asked as he drew on the pipe some more.. "Sure.." And so the three watched Inu Yasha for three hours before going to sleep under the moonlight..
