11 Don't drink what you shouldn't

The deviled one now stood in front of Syzoth.

He was indeed surprised to see her.

He secretly hoped that they wouldn't meet again, but there she was.

Her skin no longer had a blue color. It returned back to the smooth skin she had when Syzoth found her inside the tomb.

He also realized that her white hair returned back to black, and her beautiful horns also disappeared.

If Syzoth didn't know, the deviled one would seem as a normal woman.

Of course, an incredibly beautiful human woman, but still a woman.

The Syzoth realized that she was holding the dark dress he gave her with on hand, trying desperately to hide her voluptuous front side from him.

Syzoth then realized that he did hear her clothes tearing, but he didn't give to much thought to it.

His mind was back then remembering his last 36 years of his life on this planet.

"Can I come in?"

Syzoth, not wanting to deal with the demon princess, let her inside.

She then sat back at the table, and Syzoth, after bringing her something warm, ran out, and brought a new set of clothes.

He didn't have that much.

Syzoth never thought that one day a woman would be in his house.

And living alone, he didn't much care what he wore most of the time he lived here.

He did change.

He wasn't a beast.

And when he brought a new set of clothes, specifically a yellow medieval robe.

The deviled one quickly changed. Syzoth of course, did leave the room to not to look like a creep.

Then when she said she was ready, he came back in.

When he came back, he looked back at her.

Yeah, she still looked stunningly beautiful.

The robe that was supposed to hide her body only made the curves stick out more.

The deviled ne was a bit embarrassed by it, but Syzoth honestly didn't really care.

However, he did want to know why the deviled one returned.

She responded that she had a lot of reasons.

The most obvious reason was of course that her dress tore apart, and that she didn't wish to return home looking like a woman that just escaped a brothel.

The second reason was that she had no Idea where her home was.

After all, if the place was indeed the dark forest, then the forest managed to change during the time she was asleep.

Syzoth thought that this was indeed understandable.

"And?"

"A few minutes ago you managed to make my drink one of your magical potions that forced me to answer all of your questions. I also have a lot of questions, that I hope you could answer."

"Fine, I don't have any problem with that. After you are done, if you wish to know where the castle of your parents is, then all you have to do is follow this guy here."

To the deviled one's surprise, a small birdlike creature flew out of the fireplace and laded right on the reptiloids shoulder.

Syzoth continued, by explaining that this was Perry, one of his exotic animals that he saved one day, and that Perry should be able to bring her home.

He just wished to make sure that Perry wouldn't be harmed during her travel.

"Is there anything else?" Syzoth asked.

The deviled one looked at the lizard man, and giving a small blush she responded: "Well, yes, but right now, I- I am hungry, and I hope you, as a gentle devile… gentlema… lizard would have something to eat."

Syzoth was at a loss.

He had his own reason for why, and he hoped that the deviled one wouldn't pester him with it, but she insisted.

Then, Syzoth stood up, was about to leave, but he then realized that Luciana did the same and followed him.

And after asking her why, she said she didn't want to be alone, and that she wanted to follow the him.

Syzoth didn't care. If she tried to pull something stupid, Miz and Perry should be able to deal with her.

Miz was the name of the grey cat, that also decided to follow them for some reason.

Perry still stood on the soulders of his savior, and the green spider decided to stay on the reptiloids head, all the while his eight eyes didn't let the deviled one out of sight.

Luciana meanwhile didn't let of the sight of the lizardman.

The more she looked at him, the more questions she got.

She didn't understand who or what he was.

His magical power, while not inexistent, was still incredibly low.

She wanted to know him.

She also had questions of her own.

How did the reptiloid know her families name?

How did he know her fiancée?

Did the lizard know them?

What was going on outside?

Did the prophesy of the heroes coming come to pass?

All those questions stormed her head, all the while she looked around the way they went.

And soon, the reptile stopped and entered another room.

The room wasn't as she expected.

To her, the room seemed to be in a mess.

Potions, papers, nothing seemed to be in place

And she could also see many different graces in the most different forms around.

Some of them went around themselves like hurricane.

Other glasses seemed to somehow be united with another transparent small rope.

And every glass had different potions.

Looking around, Luciana could see that the room had many different closets, each having dozens of books that Luciana didn't seem to have seen before.

Then, suddenly, Luciana smelled something.

Following her smell, she found a small bottle that had some kind of pink potion inside.

Luciana couldn't explain why, but the smell seemed familiar to her. It also seemed to be calling out to her.

Without realizing it, Luciana already had the bottle in her hand.

She was just about to take a sip, when she heard the voice of the owner.

"If you've decided to follow me, then follow me. If you wish to know this is my laboratory."

Luciana, quickly pulling herself together, followed the lizard man, while slipping the bottle into the pocket of her robe.

Then, they left the room threw another door, and entered another one.

There, she could see that this place looked more like a small garden.

And before she knew, the reptiloid grabbed a small plant out of the ground, taking of something from it.

He then threw it towards Luciana.

The thing seemed to look like a small green bean.

"What is this?"

"That'sss your dinner. Bon appetite."

"Are you serious?"

"Don't judge a book by itssss cover. This bean alone can stop a dragon's hunger for a day. For you, it should make you full for a whole week."

Luciana was baffled.

She wasn't sure if Syzoth was serious or joking, but then she decided to believe him.

"By the way, don't eat it yet. It's better to eat it with a drink. It's much easier to get it inside you. Wait here."

Syzoth then went back inside the place he called laboratory, and Luciana was left alone.

Then, she took out the bottle with the strange pink liquid, and without knowing eat, put the bean inside her mouth, all the while drinking the liquid.

Somehow, she drank all of it in one fell swoop, just as Syzoth returned back with another bottle.

To his shock, he saw the bottle Luciana was holding, and when she was done, she let go of the bottle, and it fell down on the ground, breaking in the process.

Then she starred at him.

And a pink heart symbol appeared on in her pupils.
