Tale of the Outcast Warrior: Yoko, The Outcast, and heading back to Term.

Tyler walked to the spear with Sallie and Sylvia in spirit form on his shoulders as usual. He spotted Yoko walking out the glass door of the spear and smiled.

"Hey there my favorite raccoon."

She smiled happily as she saw him and her tail was waving wildly as well.

"Tyler! You come to walk me home?"

"And to your bed."

She smiled and took his arm.

"I'm a mite hungry."

"Well, you got a place in mind?"

"Ohhh, just my house."

"Well, alright. Shall we get to the feast? Oh, and the food?"

She laughed as she saw the two spirits on his shoulders.

"I have plenty for you two as well."

"Yay!"

"Food!"

The two smiled at the spirits happy voices. They walked into Yoko's home and she set some food to cook as he helped with the table as Sallie and Sylvia took shell form to help as well.

"Kinda feels like we're a family."

Tyler came over and kissed her.

"And you the beautiful wife, Yoko."

She smiled as Tyler made a subtle gesture to the spirits and they glowed again. Yoko watched as they grew ears and tails of their own and she looked at him in shock.

"Vulpix hooked them up with Fox Mimic."

Yoko smiled then.

"They look adorable!"

The girls giggled as they ate together, feeding on some meat and potatoes with light milk and juice. Tyler did the dishes as Yoko readied the bath for them all, and he set a hidden surprise in her knife drawer for her, 5 gold coins as thanks for the meal.

"Bath's ready! And so am I!"

"Love you Yoko!"

He went in and found her already in the five person tub, and she leered over her shoulder as she extended a long, slender leg to beckon him with.

"Huuuuurrrry! I'm weeet!"

He laughed as he stripped and got into the bath with his favorite raccoon girl. He mounted her to a bunch of splashing as Sallie and Sylvia did each other's hair on the other side of the tub.

"Bucket!"

Sylvia closed her eyes as Sallie dumped a bucket of water on her head to rinse her long red hair. Tyler was deep inside Yoko as she used the lip of the tub to add extra force to her railing from behind as she grunted in pleasured effort from her love making.

"I've ACHED for this ALL DAY!"

He smiled as he filled her eager slit full of cream.

"I got PLENTY for you Yoko!"

She kissed him as they went wild for each other, her getting creamed over and over as she orgasmed just as much. Then they fell into the water with a last splash as the two spirits applauded the show.

"Love you too girls!"

They giggled as Yoko rested her head on his chest, smiling as she saw the locket that never left his person even during sex, as it was Sylvia's.

"I'll miss you when you follow the waves."

"We'll be back."

She smiled.

"So you know? My people, Raccons? We're immortal like elves. Same with Seline's vulpine race."

"I look forward to getting behind you for hundreds of years, Yoko."

She kissed him.

"We need to clean up."

"Yes my beautiful raccoon."

She shivered as they cleaned their sex drenched bodies. The raccoon girl didn't bother getting dressed as she walked naked to her bedroom as he brought his gear with him in case of anything. She laid in her bed and held the blankets open for him as he set his equipment down. He got in beside her naked as well, and they cuddled the two spirits between them. Tyler smiled at Yoko as they hugged the two girls between them.

"Good night girls, I love you."

Yoko kissed him.

"Good night, Tyler. I love you too. I love you girls too."

They giggled as they all drifted off to sleep.

DAYS UNTIL WAVE: 17

Tyler next opened his eyes to see Yoko's slumbering face beside him, and he had Sallie and Sylvia's warmth between them. I love this world. He kissed Yoko awake, and she smiled.

"You need to get going?"

"Sadly, I do, and so do these two cuties."

The girls sighed sadly as they winked back to spirit forms as he kissed Yoko. She sighed as well.

"Be careful in the wave."

HE smiled as he got dressed.

"Just because you asked me to."

He left her alone in her bedroom then, and she sighed as she buried her face in the pillow he'd used.

"I'll miss him."

Tyler walked to the mansion and spotted their ferrier walking out from the front door. The lad greeted him as he approached.

"Sirrah. I hear that you be leaving for Term this morn."

Tyler gave him 30 silver.

"Aye lad. We'll be gone for a while."

The man tipped his hat.

"The miss already paid me, but thankee kindly. Take care in the wave."

"You take care as well."

He walked off as Tyler headed inside to the kitchen for food before heading to his office. He sat in the chair and unrolled the map which he set in the grooves as he looked at the route.

"Everything set commander?"

He smiled as he saw Kaori walking in with a noticeable wobble. He gave her a kiss and she sat next to him in the smaller chair.

"For now. You have fun last night?"

She smiled and placed a crystal on the desk.

"Seline and Verilica wanted to say good bye. So, they helped."

"You show them your new dress?"

"That's there too. Seline was wondering if she could commission you to design her next ball gown."

HE kissed her lovingly.

"That's YOUR thing."

She smiled as she kissed him again.

"Melly and her family are headed over."

"I'll give them the tour."

Kaori smiled.

"The master is OUR bedroom."

"Understood. Gotchya covered."

She shook her blonde head as Mia, Melly, and Elirch came up to the front gate. Tyler patted Melly as he gave the pouch with 300 gold to Mia.

"The master's me and Kaori's."

The married couple smiled,

"Aye lad, we understand."

Sera came in giggling to hug Melly.

"You can use MY room!"

Tyler took her parents to the well furnished guest room he'[d set aside just for them. It overlooked the street on the third floor, had a master bed like the one in his own, a large couch looking out the window, two full wardrobes, dressers and nightstands and a walk-in closet. Tyler had a third key to the front door and gave it to Mia.

"Place is enchanted to keep the fire off, idiots out, and to not show anything in the windows. Any dangerous items we've got in a sealed drawer or with us. Just watch the blades as most be sharper than her Magicite daggers."

They nodded.

"We appreciate the warning. We'll take good care of your home."

"Well, that's it I guess."

Tyler left the couple and headed to the stables where he found Sera hugging Melly goodbye before the party mounted up.

"We got everything?"

The party ran through a list of their equipment.

"I'm set."

"Same here!"

"Aye lad, I be ready."

"I've got my gear."

"I'm ready!"

"Nice spongebob Ashy."

She laughed as Serafina spoke up.

"I'm all set. Feels weird to be heading back to Term."

Vixen smiled at the shy Wraith.

"It is weird, NightFang. I too am ready."

Lillia gulped.

"The pope is dead. I'm set too."

The rest all nodded. Tyler smiled.

"Alright. I want to be at the Dark Forest by the end of today. Outcasts, move out!"

The party laughed as they walked their mounts to the front gate as the town started chanting.

"Outcasts! Outcasts! Outcasts!"

Tyler breathed his blue flame as they exited the front gate and got more rousing cheers as they then brought their horses into a full gallop as the road ahead was as level as Kaori could hope for. The twelve strong party broke out into a thunderous rumble as they tore along the road with Tyler and Kaori in the lead, with Wulf and Malico right beside them, Sera and Lillia in the center of the diamond, Lucy and Thistle on the side tips with Serafina at the rear. Lily was riding Tyler's horse, and Ashy was right beside Serafina. Tyler smiled as he looked at Kaori.

"We ran from Term as hated murderers, Kaori. How we return as conquering heroes!"

The blonde's ponytail was streaming out behind her as they went.

"I know right? Now we could probably kill the entire town!"

"So you know? We ARE visiting Burlock and Lyrica's shops."

She snorted.

"You want to bed Lyrica and break that curse on the sword."

"Ya damn RIGHT I wanna bed a succubus! What straight man WOULDN'T? Right Wulf?"

The elven ranger smiled as he recalled.

"Let me say from experience, Tyler, short of a goddess herself, NOTHING compares to a Succubus!"

"I will most definitely put THAT ascertain to the test Wulf! I've had Kaori!"

She laughed as Ashy smiled at the back of her elven lover.

"Wow, Wulf."

The elf was then witnessed to go absolutely white as he remembered Ashy could hear him. The party busted up laughing as he looked to Tyler, the only other man in the party, for help. Tyler just laughed.

"Well, Wulf. Looks like YOU have a problem."

Tyler then leaned over and kissed Kaori as the now in the doghouse Wulf had to figure out a way to make Ashy like him again. Lily giggled.

"At least Tyler knows what NOT to say in front of the ones he loves!"

Tyler patted the fiery elf girl.

"When they wield hammers like you do Lily, it's a matter of self-preservation."

She hugged him best she could for that one.

"Love you too."

The party rode hard for the first leg of the trip as Kaori was confident in the road ahead. Tyler smiled as they passed through a familiar stretch of road.

"Hey, Sera! Lillia! Place look familiar?"

The royal girls laughed as they tore through the place they first met Tyler.

"To think I once was scared of you!"

"And to think we once couldn't even HOLD a sword!"

"Now you fight giants for reps and gut moose with your bare hands!"

They laughed at the absurdity of their journey.

"Hey, we still bandit baiting?"

Tyler smiled.

"If we find a camp me and Kaori will hit it alone."

The party smiled widely at that one. They rode till the sun was high overhead before stopping for lunch by a stretch of road with a rock ring for seats. Tyler had a clean view of the road in both directions for a good few miles as he rolled out the map and shook his head.

"We're literally over half way to the dark forest."

Kaori looked at the map and chuckled.

"Our horses were fresh, and we know what we're doing this time."

"Fair."

Tyler tapped Term.

"No one goes anywhere without a group of three or more. Sera, Lillia and Lily groups of five. That town is going to be a hellscape as long as the other Warriors are within those walls."

Lily sighed.

"I hate them."

Wulf smiled darkly.

"Them?"

"If we encounter them in the streets? Well, just don't make a mess. I'd prefer to let the wave get them though."

Lily smiled now herself.

"Let the wave get them. If they survive, they'll think they're on top of the world. Then we skin them alive. For once the shield lowers is when the dagger gets you."

Tyler and Wulf patted the little elven girl.

"I like this idea Lily."

"I love it. She's a scary one alright."

"love her to death though."

"Me too."

"Hey! Do the big brother shit to Sera!"

They laughed at her indignant bawl. Tyler looked down the road as they finished their break.

"Well, we're still clear. We ready to ride out?"

The party nodded.

"When we reach the Dark Forest, I will set a rule in stone here: anything we take is to be used to its absolute limit. No waste. No leftovers. We clear?"

Another set of nods as Lucy smiled.

"There be a nature spirit residing in those trees?"

"Indeed. Our friend Slyvien and her apprentice Juniper. Malico's sister."

The party smiled as they looked to an eagerly smiling Malico. Tyler then tapped a small village.

"We'll be passing through Malico's home village. PLEASE don't piss off Houndra."

They laughed as Malico blinked.

"Just wait, Sera, you are going to LOVE Myuki!"

Tyler blinked now himself.

"Oh. MY. Gods. Sera, Sallie, Sylvia and Myuki in the same room."

Kaori and Malico just looked at each other.

"That is a level of 'cute' that just not be possible."

"My heart hurts now."

Sera tilted her head.

"Myuki is?"

"Malico's younger sister. She's a kitten still."

Sera's blue eyes lit up like lights at the word 'kitten.'

"can we hurry? Please?"

The party laughed and mounted back up. They tore off back down the road as the image Tyler and the two girls had put in their heads was too precious. Tyler had a song playing and Sera was curious again.

"What's this one called, Tyler?"

"It's called Go by Bump of Chicken."

She giggled.

"I like it!"

Tyler chuckled.

"One of the best songs I have for just roaming on a nice day like this."

Kaori had a thought.

"Ya know something? We've been in Lectis for three months and I don't think we've even seen a single rain cloud. That normal?"

Wulf chuckled.

"Vernillion has three seasons. A dry season. Which is the one we are in right now. Little rain, moderate temperature, and beautiful nights. Then it has the wet season, which is near constant storms, rain, and miserable weather. Everyone hates it for just how muggy, humid and just nasty it feels. That lasts three full months. Then there's the cold season. Snow, frigid temperatures, and blizzards. That lasts seven usually. Sometimes longer. The dry lasts a full 12 months."

"Wow. And when did the dry start?"

"About six months ago? We're at the height right now."

"Lets HOPE the next staging ground is NOT in a swampy area."

The party laughed as they rode on. Tyler looking ahead as usual, and he smiled as he spotted a line of trees ahead.

"Hey, I think I see the dark forest."

Wulf looked and smiled.

"It is. We'll reach it by dark. We made really great time."

"It took us what? Two days to get to Raylik the last time?"

Wulf tilted his head now.

"Your right. I wonder if it's because we're a Warrior party headed to the staging ground?"

"Maybe. You did say the trip to Raylik takes less time to actually travel it then it looks on the map."

"Might be the reverse is true as well."

"Weird place Lectis."

The natives laughed as Tyler looked towards the horizon. He chuckled as he spotted a flash of red.

"Looks like Ignatia's busy."

The party looked over and saw the red dragon diving into the ground before flying off again.

"Guess that one was a dud."

Wulf watched as Ignatia dropped onto another spot and smashed the ground like a polar bear searching for seals.

"Never thought I'd live to see the day the when the dragon lords would dig holes looking for other dragons."

Tyler smiled as the party thundered along. The sun was touching the horizon as they reached the tree line. Tyler and the party walked in slowly as he looked to the forest.

"Hey! Slyvien! I'm back! Where's me favorite teddy?"

There was a rustle from the trees as a massive fifteen hundred pound brown bear appeared on the trail as the forest burst out laughing.

"TYLER, MALICO, KAORI! IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU UNDER MY TREES AGAIN!"

Tyler hopped off Thunder and ran to give the big bear a hug as she roared with joy as her friend had returned. She slammed into Tyler with a tackle, and he held her tightly as he wasn't moved.

"I've gotten a bit too strong to get tackled now! C'mere!"

He hugged her as she rumbled happily before he lifted her clean off the ground, eliciting a grunt of shock from the teddy before he set her back down. Tyler then nodded to his party.

"Juniper, Slyvien, these are my friends. And I'd appreciate it if we can spend the night. We'll leave no trace of our presence."

The Lady of the Forest laughed.

"OF COURSE. OH, AND THOSE TWO SPIRITS THAT TRAVEL WITH YOU NOW ARE SIMPLY WONDERFUL!"

"Have fun Sallie, Sylvia."

The girls giggled as Juniper led the party through the forest as Tyler walked beside her.

"So how have you been Juniper?"

the bear nuzzled him fondly as they went through the wood.

"That much? Well, we got a day to spend. We'll stay here tonight, do a little foraging, I'll show them the lisk clearing and we'll head out in the morning."

The voice spoke again.

"ME?"

"Oh hell yeah."

The trees were heard laughing as Kaori spoke up now.

"As long as me, him, and Malico get to play in that hotspring!"

The trees burst out laughing as Juniper looked at Tyler with an intense eye. He rubbed her fur.

"You'd have to take your catgirl form, Juniper."

The bear snorted as Malico laughed.

"Wow, Tyler. Hitting on my sister too?"

"If she's your sister Malico, good looks all around!"

That got him an affectionate swipe from the big bear. Tyler then glanced at Sera and smiled.

"Hey, Juniper, Sera there loves thick fur."

His voice was just enough for the brown bear to catch it, and she rumbled in understanding. The party were led to the rock face where Tyler, Wulf, Malico and Kaori had spent their second night in the forest. Camp was set up as he cast the defense spells before lighting the fire as Juniper underwent another shift as sera watched mesmerized. The apprentice to the Lady of the Forest's new form was a massive tiger 10 feet long, 5 high, with a 4 foot tail. Sera's blue eyes went wide as she saw the beautiful cat.

"Juniper you're beautiful!"

That got a low rumble like a purr as Sera was then wrapped up giggling by the massive cat. Tyler chuckled as he then looked at Kaori and Malico.

"Let's go see the Lisk."

The entire party smiled and followed to see the first three's kill. Sera was happily skipping with a hand firmly planted on the soft tiger fur of Juniper. The clearing had once been a scorched, foul smelling field the last time Tyler and the girls had stood in it, now however, it was a lush green meadow with tall grass, flowers and bushes taking route. The tall ribcage of the first lisk Tyler, Kaori and Malico had ever killed was still there, and the party smiled as Tyler walked to the 8 foot skull and took it. Now with his second trophy ever in the pouch, he nodded to the cave.

"Wanna see Vernillia?"

The party got stars in their eyes as Tyler led them to the fabled king's last rest. The cave was still there and Tyler didn't hesitate to just drop right in with the two girls right behind him. The others followed and he led them to the small hidden room that if you were not looking for it, as thorough as Tyler is, or knew it was there, you would not have found it. Tyler led them to the back of the chamber and there lay the skeleton of the lost king with the arrows still in his ribs. Tyler smiled as he saw the shafts.

"Wow. They used black dragon scale."

The others all knelt as Sera and Lillia came forward with flowers to lay before the body. Tyler looked at the thing.

"Looks like the legend got me after all. The pope is dead, hope you enjoyed the show there, I got these two running with me and I still don't want to be king. Yer last reference still sucked though."

Ashy looked at him.

"What he use?"

"He quoted terminator. Here, Malico."

The cat let the others read the scroll for themselves and Ashy burst out laughing.

"What a jackass! You have ONE last reference to end your life with, and you use THAT?"

"What would YOUR last one liner be, Ashy?"

She smiled.

"Let's go to hell together!"

Tyler just slapped her on the back.

"I fuckin love you Ashy!"

The dirty blonde smiled.

"What's YOUR last one liner?"

"Me? After saying I love kaori? Hmm, Oh, I know! I'm on the highway to hell!"

Ashy and Kaori just burst out laughing at that.

"ACDC?"

"I loved that band. And oddly fitting."

The others were just shaking their heads.

"Warriors."

"Idiots. They're all a bunch of idiots."

"What band?"

Tyler smiled as he played the song.

"This is ACDC's song called Highway to Hell."

The group smiled as Tyler looked back at the skeleton.

"Well, be seein ya."

Tyler led the party from the chamber and deeper into the cave to do his usual recheck as the skull of the skeleton had a fresh drop of water run from it's empty eye sockets and the jaw fell open again, as if laughing along with the bunch of jackasses that now held the fate of the world in their hands.

"I'll use my detection, Lily prospect."

The party smiled as Tyler went right to the back of the cave with Lily as he felt a hollow feeling.

"Ha. Knew it. Got one!"

Tyler used Lily's hammer and smashed the wall open. Inside was a tomb, and Vixen held up a hand glowing black.

"Is this one cursed?"

"It is. But only with a low level curse I can dispel."

Tyler waited as the black mage dispelled the curse before he set foot inside.

"Me, Kaori and Malico. Seems right."

They nodded and took spots as Tyler grasped the lid of the coffin.

"Ready?"

"Do it."

"I'm set."

He threw the lid and leapt back as the thing tried to punch him. He had Oblivion out and slashed the thing's skull as it rose from its coffin, the thing rattled as Kaori hit the thing no less then fifteen times in 12 seconds with a rapid attack as Malico came in with her daggers. Tyler pivoted on a foot as the thing was lifting itself over the rim of the stone coffin and smashed the skull with all his strength, splitting it like a gourd hit with an axe. The thing flopped back down dead again as Tyler and the girls high fived.

"Kickin it old school!"

Sera was curious.

"Why didn't you use Gliepnir or your skills?"

"Because Sera, at this point Gliepnir was still a foreign weapon to me, I only had maybe 6 spells, most of which were bow with NO sword spells, and had the single blade and bow. This was how me and Kaori started out."

He laid Oblivion on the floor, his bow, five gold coins, and his mail vest.

"These, our horses, a single quiver of arrows, and the basic camping gear we had when we met were all we had. Period. Koari had her katana, a bow, and no mail, Malico her daggers and a bow. That's it. Plus, my mail was mere steel, Oblivion was dragon scale, and my bow a simple recurve. I didn't get my mythril vest, Crystalline Bow, and Gliepnir until we found this trove. Plus the 6k gold came from this as well."

Wulf chuckled.

"I remember. We met as you were butchering the Lisk."

Sera looked at the ranger.

"Really?"

Wulf shook his head at the memory.

"I was asked by Ishtar to guide a group of hunters to the clearing before my next task as ambassador. So, we get to the village on the outskirts, and they warn us a group of Warriors had been through just two days prior and had gone into the forest. We didn't think much of it as the Warriors by that point had just BARELY gotten past Malico's village. Well, I led them to the clearing, and what do we find? Three people, a beautiful blonde lady, a just as beautiful catgirl, and a boy with the most intense gaze I'd ever seen were butchering the beast we'd been sent in to kill! The boy was covered in the thing's blood, and was standing on it's back as he waved at us like it just another day on the trail!"

Tyler chuckled as they looted the coffin.

"The leader of the party, Duke, was an idiot of such a degree it was painful talking to him. Plus, that was the first time we found a banned black spell."

Wulf smiled as he recalled.

"A single river of torment License kicked off our journey to see Tatiana."

Tyler smiled as they walked away from the tomb 500 gold, 654 silver, 875 copper richer. Vixen took possession of the dead thing's Magicite spear as it was cursed.

"Lily?"

"We got some more iron, coal, a thick gold vein, and a rather massive vein of copper."

"Nice. I'll dig it out as you look the tomb over."

The elf girl smiled as he got his new pickaxe out and started digging.

"Got a platinum vein, Magicite, and a rather interesting vein od Black Magicite."

"Black Magicite?"

Vixen was a little surprised. Tyler looked at her.

"It hard to find?"

"Indeed. Pure Black Magicite or Pure White Magicite are very rare, as since they're usually so pure the veins get tainted by other colors. I'll need to handle the ore after you dig it out as it'll burn you pretty badly."

"Sure, Vixen. We can use it to get you a new axe to grind and Serafina, hmm, maybe, oh! I know! A kukri!"

The natives tilted their heads.

"What's a Kukri?"

Tyler pulled a piece of paper from his pouch and used a pencil to draw a rough sketch.

"It's a type of sword, maybe 3 feet long with a moderate curve in the spine with a belly in the blade. Nasty as it is both a short sword and is effective against shields."

He showed the natives and they blinked.

"That's a weapon from the Gnome homeland."

Lily took a look at the design and tilted her head.

"Ya know somethin? That's not all that difficult to make really. Plus, I can get more practice with curved weaponry. Can I have this?"

"Sure. I get time I know a few more variations you might be able to use."

She smiled as she placed the design in her pouch.

"Thanks. Have YOU ever considered being a smith?"

"A few times actually. Looks like fun."

Lily's red eyes flashed with idea.

"I can teach you if you like."

"Really? That'd be awesome! Thanks Lily!"

She started glowing as he dug the black colored ore from the wall. Vixen placed the Black Magicite in her loot pouch and the cave was his level clean. They returned to camp and Juniper was resting by the fire with the beautiful human form of Slyvien. The Lady of the Forest was still beautiful, with her golden hair that nearly out shown Kaori's golden tresses, faintly luminous skin, massive rack, and bright blue eyes. Juniper was back in her bear form and was curled up beside the lady as the party returned. Slyvien looked up smiling as Tyler approached her.

"Shall we?"

He smiled widely as Kaori just shook her head.

"Go on. Make another spirit obsessed."

The Lady of the Forest tilted her golden head.

"Another?"

Tyler smiled.

"I've lain with Vulpix twice now."

Her blue eyes went wide with happy surprise.

"Sister Vulpix? Oh my, Warrior. You are quite lucky indeed to have HER willing to lay with you a SECOND time!"

"She's called me her new favorite mortal lover. Oh, and girls? Show em!"

Sallie and Sylvia glowed and let their tails and ears be seen. Slyvien's bright blue eyes went wide in shock now.

"She LOVES you!"

Tyler smiled as he patted the two spirits.

"Everyone loves these two."

That got a giggle as Juniper lifted a bear and drew both small girls towards her before wrapping her bear form around them. Tyler smiled as Kaori used the crystal to take a photo as he looked at Slyvien.

"Ready when you are."

The Lady of the Forest led the eager Warrior into the forest with a spring in her soft step. She brought him to a large meadow with thick moss as she used her power to undress the both of them. She smiled with a blush as she saw his sword as he licked his lips at her body. The laid back and welcomed the Mortal into her tight slit as she bucked to meet him.

"Oh I've been looking forward to YOU Slyvien!"

She sighed as he started the ride.

"As have I!"

She hugged him to her as she felt the length of steel inside her and was loving it immensely as she got her first cream quickly followed by her own orgasm. Then she was face down getting fitted from behind and loving the new position immensely! She got filled again and again by this most hungry of lovers before sighing.

"My poor slit, as you say, can't take anymore. A shame you've outlasted me as well."

He hugged her onto his haunches.

"Now we can play a bit. Since your Vulpix's sister, you'll love this next one."

Slyvien looked at him curiously.

"What do you plan to do to me?"

HE poked her button on her rear with his spear, and her blue eyes went wide.

"There? Very well, but be easy as it's my first time there."

He lowered her onto his still hardened spear as her rear was stretched by a new feeling of penetration. She moaning hard as she sat on it.

"Ohh, I LOVE this! No WONDER Vulpix loves you!"

He dropped his tone to whisper into her ear.

"Wait until I go to taste this."

He used a small water spell to clean her oozing slit and she gasped at the feeling.

"You are a most sensual Mortal! Please!"

He laid her on her hands and knees as he gave her now full rear a soft first ride as the Nature Spirit rocked on her all fours posture to add force to the thrusts.

"Yes! I love it! More!"

She got another cream filling before her next orgasm tore through her body, and with a new force and she lar panting as he kept riding for his last cream. Once he went limp, he rolled her gently on her back and she opened her long legs to grant access.

"You are a truly incredible specimen."

He kissed her slit, making her shiver at yet ANOTHER new feeling.

"And to think, we'll pass though here again when then wave passes!"

She fixed him with an intense gaze.

"If you seek to rest beneath my trees in the future, then a lay with me is the price."

He just smiled at her and set his lips to her entrance, making her buck.

"One I AND Kaori and Malico will be most eager to pay! Lily too, oh, and Vixen."

The Lady of the forest was brought to two more orgasms by this most sensual of Mortals and was then just laying there with him cuddling her while showering her with soft kisses as she recovered. She got her breath back and smiled at him.

"I LOVE you too!"

He kissed her soft lips and she tasted herself on his.

"I love you too, Slyvien."

She sighed happily.

"Never have I been so…..satisfied by a male lover, and NO female lover has so utterly left me feeling so full!"

HE smiled as he kissed her again.

"Well, Slyvien, what can I say, except thank you?"

she laughed.

"I need to clean my body now. And so do you."

"Really?"

HE kissed her again, and she sighed.

"there's a small stream over there."

"Lead the way."

She got up and was wobbling a little as she led him, both still buck naked, to the stream. There they cleaned their sex covered bodies before she redressed them.

"I will look forward to next time. And, the hotspring is ready for you and the other two."

"I'll give them the forested word."

She shivered as he kissed her yet again, before a three foot tall red squirrel appeared to lead him back to the others. He chuckled as he saw it.

"Well, nice to see you again, Guide."

Slyvien blinked.

"You two know each other?"

Tyler gave the Guide to the spirits another handful of walnuts as it chattered to the nature spirit. She became sad now.

"I see. I'm sorry for those two girls."

Tyler sighed,

"so am I. But, we can hug them, so they win."

The squirrel chattered as it nodded in agreement. Slyvien smiled.

"That we can and that they do. So you know? In MY forest, they can walk in their shell forms freely as the ENTIRE forest will defend them."

HE set the massive squirrel on his shoulder as he looked at her.

"No offense, Slyvien, but unless they are in MY sight, in our camp with the spells up or our home, they are not safe enough."

That got a happy smile.

"I see. A father's protection is a terrifying thing."

HE kissed her again as she sighed.

"alas, I must return."

"As must I. I hope Juniper has survived Sera's hug death."

That got a laugh as the Guide led him through the forest from its perch on his shoulder with a chatter.

"So, I guess you spirits can go wherever you please?"

"Chatter chatter."

"Good deal. You and Slyvien close?"

the squirrel rubbed it's head on his.

"Wow. Admit it though, you just here for Juniper's squirrel form!"

The thing looked into his eye, and Tyler and it bro fisted.

"Atta a squirrel."

They laughed, well, he laughed. The squirrel just chattered with amusement. They heard the squeals of Sera, Sallie and Sylvia before they heard them, and Tyler chuckled.

"Should say hi to the girls."

The Guide chattered.

"Good to hear."

He got a flick from the long fluffy tail for that as Tyler walked into the fire light. Kaori was laid out by the fire with her HUD open, Malico was naked by the fire relaxing, Vixen had taken her robe off and was laying on it by the fire as well, Wulf and Ashy were nowhere to be seen, but there were sounds coming from the tent, Lucy was honing her axe as Thistle did the same, Lillia was sitting against a rock without boots on letting her bare feet get warmed by the fire, Lily was looking at Tyler's Kukri design and making notes on the production of such a weapon; which sparked an idea in his mind for another one, Sera, Sallie and Sylvia were playing a game with Juniper where the apprentice, clad in her Fox form this time, would poke one of the girls, and they would try to poke her back in a heart wrenchingly cute game of tag. Tyler smiled as the squirrel chattered and the two spirits looked over and smiled as their friend came to visit. Sera was enraptured by the three foot tall squirrel's soft fur as Juniper also took her own squirrel form. Her's being a sleek black squirrel that was simply beautiful to look at. Tyler walked over and sat beside kaori's head. The blonde smiled and rested her head on his leg as he rested against a well-placed stump.

"Did you have fun?"

He rubbed her belly.

"Slyvien's added a stipulation if we want to stay here again."

That got a chuckle.

"We heard. Well played."

"Love you too."

She sighed as he opened his HUD and looked to skills. HE found he had a mere hundred to distribute this time, and chuckled.

"My stats ALONE will make the other Warriors piss themselves."

Kaori laughed.

"Ashy's have skyrocketed as well. Her numbers are at my level now."

"I guess we work hard."

She smiled as he split the 100 between strength, stamina, agility and speed. Bringing the totals to strength 725, agility 625, stamina 825 and speed 525. Once he was finished with his stats, he moved to the news tab as Kaori shifted to get a better look.

"Today in Vernillion. The dragons still continue their hunt for their Fallen prey. Ignatia was sighted earlier today moving through a large field to the west and diving into the ground at regular intervals in his efforts to find the treacherous Black dragons. Thus far we are unsure if any have been found. This writer prays she is able to witness such a spectacle. In other news, the wave is in fifteen days, and the Outcasts are on the move. The party departed Raylik this morning bound for Term with sad hearts as they had to leave their friends, and in Tyler's case various lovers, behind to once again ride into danger. But, this is the outcasts we're talking about. They'll be JUST fine in the wave. The other Warriors, still unable to access the city of Term until the two week horn, are milling around making life miserable for any who choose to enter the capital to the point the royal guard has to now stand watch from the walls with arrows on bows as a discouragement to this mere bandits. Kazuma the Kind has entered the city, and at the time of writing, is currently meeting with the king to discuss wave preparations. The Warrior's ball is in six days, and with the exception of the outcasts and Kazuma, ugh. Although, in this writer's own opinion? Tyler's title collection is going to scare. The other Warriors. Absolutely SHITLESS. If his numbers don't, the titles will. Of the Warriors currently awaiting reentry into the city are Max the Rapist, Charlotte the Coward, who is just a broken women now selling her body to the other Warriors for her coin rather then draw her sword, the Monsters that are the Outcast's family, and the other less noteworthy. May they die screaming in a goblin camp. Queen Willow of the Elven Queendom has also made a statement.

"If the staging ground for the next wave be in me Queendom, and the Outcast has not killed me daughter's rapists, then he be barred from entering me lands till he does! But, me girl will most likely do it fer him now. Just curious if she favor the hammer like her momma. Hey, Outcast, next time you play the interview, lemme know."

Willow has laid a most unneeded ultimatum to the Outcast, as Lily will kill em herself! His royal majesty king Ishtar has also sent a message to the Outcast via our news board. When did our trusted guild news get transformed into a means for the realm to contact the Outcast like a damn runner service?

"It will be a loud one Lad. Oh, and their mother's in the city. Sooo, brace. And if ya would be so kind as to bring me girls to the palace, Kazuma would like a word with Lillia."

It would seem Kazuma has his gaze fixed on a royal girl of his own. Alls we at the guild will say? Don't piss her off, Kazuma! She's got the Outcast fer a brother!"

Tyler and Kaori were laughing as he closed his HUD. Tyler stroking Kaori's warm cheek as he wiped a tear from his eye.

"Kazuma you wily bastard."

Kaori was smiling widely.

"I'll go have a word with Lillia."

The princess looked up at her name as Kaori walked over to her.

"Come with me, Lillia. WE need to have a little chat."

The girl gulped as Kaori took her by the hand and led her beyond the hearing range of the camp with a now scared look in her eyes. Tyler chuckled as he watched them go, feeling their steps in his Tranquil waters spell. He pulled the map out and opened it up as Malico stole Kaori's spot with her head on his leg. He stroked her large melons instead of her belly, making her purr.

"we heard about the hotspring."

"We'll have a round in the waters before we leave tomorrow."

She smiled as she looked at the map best she could from her spot.

"We'll get to see Myuki!"

"Oh hell yeah. Can't wait to hold that kitten again."

The sexy catgirl flicked him with her tail.

"She's not going to recognize you!"

"Right? I went from freezing at the sight of two naked beauties in the bed beside me with her naked beside you, to just playing with you all the time. And did you use kaori's cream on your breasts? They feel softer then usual."

She smiled widely.

"Yup! Like it?"

He gave her marvelous orbs a thoughtful squeeze.

"I do. They feel really good, Malico. Should make it a habit to hunt the toads now."

She was purring so hard she couldn't speak. Then Tyler got an idea and looked at her naked slit. Malico blinked.

"Oh shit. I know that look."

"Just wonderin if the cream works there too?"

she burst out laughing as the other ladies just looked at him like he was insane. Malico wiped her eyes as she replied.

"There's a DIFFERENT cream for that. Oh, and it makes it tighter too while cleaning it as well."

"Huh. Nifty. What creature does that come from?"

Malico smiled.

"Another toad. I think it's the Gigantoad?"

Vixen smiled as she added her input.

"It's the Gigantoad, Malico. There's also the slime from the Larsh Toad that makes a cream that makes the breasts bigger for a short time."

Tyler leaned against the stump now.

"How much bigger, Vixen?"

The mage smiled as she saw his line of thinking.

"Half a cup bigger. So, example would be Kaori would be Ashy's size."

"Kaori's already perfect as is, but at least I know she can at least try it to see if she even LIKES a big chest on her frame."

The ladies just smiled as Malico kissed him.

"Well said."

"But that OTHER toad? Yeah, We're keeping an eye out for it!"

The burst out laughing as Juniper snorted hard in her latest furry form she was using to play with Sera and the spirits in, a bushy furred Fennec 5 feet long with a three foot tail. Tyler looked at Lily then, and she snorted.

"No. I will NOT get creamed up for you!"

The ladies lost it laughing as Tyler shook his head.

"Again. Perfection. Was wondering if you wanted to see more designs for weapons from my world."

Malico chuckled as she pulled the scroll out and passed it to him.

"Will you need this?"

"might as well."

He set the thing out and the writing was seen.

"Oh shit here we go."

"Nice to read you Minus. I got TWO this time."

"Great."

"The first is the bladed weapons from my world. I have a good selection of various designs I can draw up. Yet, just for safety's sake, is that allowed?"

The scroll scrunched up in a smile.

"Indeed it is Mortal, as we've seen the weapons from your world, and I must say they are most exquisite. And before you ask, the forging methods are as well."

"Wow. I'll teach Lily Damascus forging then."

"That will produce truly beautiful weaponry. Now, the other question?"

"Just wondering if I'm allowed to make offerings to you, since ya know, GODDESS on speed dial."

The scroll frowned.

"These are too easy. What gives? You are Mortal, and banks are the place to do so, as they are under my sphere."

"Neat. Will anything really work, or is it just things to do with a scale?"

"Seriously, Mortal, what is up with these easy questions? Are you ill? Anything works, as long as it HAS value."

"Sooo, how many jars of the slit cream, breast cream, and skin cream we talking here?"

The scroll was blank for a good few minutes, as what he just said processed with the goddess of the scale. Then the scroll just burst out laughing so hard it was flopping around like it was alive as the other ladies just sighed.

"He set her up."

Tyler was smiling as the scroll was literally flopping like a fish as the letters ahahahahha were seen in an never ending line as he made a goddess nearly laugh to death. It took her a solid ten minutes to recover enough to speak again.

"There's the insanity that makes my eternity worthwhile! As for the answer? Three of each!"

"Six it is!"

She lost it again, but not to the same extreme.

"You are a most entertaining mortal. Most entertaining indeed."

"Should experience the pleasing part too."

This time the scroll smiled in a seductive smile.

"Oh, NOW you have my attention! So you are aware, I've spoken to the lady Vulpix."

"She good?"

His use of the Fox Spirit's manner of speech, using the bare minimum or words to convey her point made the scroll smile in appreciation.

"I'll be paying your mansion a visit in the near future to 'sample' this pleasure you seem so adapt at giving."

"Sounds like a truly divine experience."

The scroll was witnessed to shiver.

"Oh Mortal, you ARE an incubus! Anymore, I'll have to kidnap you for a few centuries!"

"Wow, Minus, I had no idea you were so spiritually possessive. I fear my lover may have to partake of this heavenly boon, to…..BALENCE the scales!"

The scroll was shivering hard.

"I'm going to go before I just jump you!"

"as the GODDESS says!"

The scroll rolled up as the ladies of the camp applauded his near seduction of a goddess with mere words. Kaori was also heard applauding.

"Damn dude. You just made a goddess need a release without even LOOKING at her."

He smiled as he saw Lillia now had a nervously excited expression on her pretty face. Lily sat down next to him with a few sheets of paper.

"So, these designs? And Damascus forging?"

Tyler smiled as he set the paper under some rocks.

"Damascus forging takes multiple layers of the same material, for this example we'll say steel, and forges them together into one billet. Done right, it adds a wavy pattern to the piece that is simply beautiful to look at, as well as increase the strength of the piece as well. Now, it cannot be done in any fire other then forge fire as the welds between the billets of steel need to be airtight. Are you with me so far?"

Lily nodded, as she jotted down his words and her own expertise.

"I see. This is a good challenge."

"Best part? There are three different styles of Damascus besides the simple layer."

She blinked.

"I'd like to learn these styles."

"Sure. First is the Ladder pattern. You grind little grooves into the metal BEFORE you heat it, result if done right will add lines to the piece like there's a ladder within the steel."

"Scary how you know so much about smithing, yet can't work metal to save your life."

"Right? Next, is tear drop Damascus. You take a hammer and a punch to poke dents into the heated metal. Done correctly it will add the dots like the blade is crying."

Lily smiled at that one.

"Now that sounds beautiful."

"I've remembered another form, but the next is the jelly roll Damascus. Basically? You take a regular Damascus billet of layers and roll it as tight as you can before hammering it out."

Lily blinked.

"That sounds hard. I'd need to experiment with it before I attempt it. The last?"

"Canister Damascus. Take a tube of metal like say iron or other scrap metal, and fill the tube with different type of the material you wish to use. Once full, you weld the thing shut and add a rod to the end for easy removal from the forge. Done right, the outside metal is then removed to reveal a solid billet of the steel you're looking to use."

Lily tilted her head.

"That's actually the same process used to add infusions, but not as efficient. So, these methods sound simple on paper, but until I set hammer to metal I'm not sure."

"Good ways to test your skills with steel though. Now. A point."

"Okay."

"These methods were developed with cold steel in mind. In my world we had different kinds of steel. I'll admit to not really knowing if you have them nor would understand my phrases. Closest comparison I can make to the type of steel I mean is the kind used for that sword you were looking at in Tolic's shop. You remember? That curved cutlass?"

She nodded and jotted down the note on the paper detailing the forge methods.

"I see now. That kind of steel in our world is called Forged Steel. It's the most common kind and easiest to make in bulk. That said, it's considerably weaker then the steel I use right now. Even if the heat treat and forging process is the exact same."

"My suggestion?"

"Sure."

"Start off small scale. Like see if the billets even forge together period. They do, congrats, you have a billet of workable metal. If not, well, least you didn't waste too much."

She hugged him.

"Thanks. I was thinking the same thing, but hearing the words helped me make the call. Now, the designs?"

"Oh these are fun."

He drew a sketch of a throwing weapon with three blades on a handle. The blades were bent in different directions, and Lily scratched her head as she saw it.

"What the hell is that?"

"Believe me I had the same reaction when I first saw one too. I forget the name, but down right it makes a nifty thrown weapon."

Lily shrugged as she looked the drawing over.

"Well, it's unique. That's for sure. I can use it as practice for curved blades."

"This one is a bit simpler."

she watched as he drew a strange looking dagger. It was 2 feet long, with teeth along the blade with a flare in the teeth and a ring hand guard. Lily just looked at it.

"Same question?"

"It's called a Sword Breaker. See these teeth? If you catch a sword in it, and twist hard, it's supposed to snap the thing."

Lily looked at it now with new eyes.

"Scary. But if I add this to my shielder gear, I can add sword breaking to my list of tricks. I'd have to use higher grade metals, but no biggee."

Tyler patted her head.

"Love you too."

She set it to the side as he drew another weapon. This time a greatsword with a wavy blade. Lily blinked as he drew dimensions for the 7 foot blade.

"This is called a Defender. See these waves and grooves?"

She smiled as she did.

"Fullers and waves reduce the overall weight of the weapon. With that many, the thing would weigh maybe a mere 15 pounds instead of the 20+ expected of a sword that size. I'd need a bigger forge for the metal, but not an issue."

She added it to the pile as he dug inside his archive of weapons. Then he smiled.

"I got a goodie."

He drew a spear head with a hook on one side, an axe head on the other, with a one foot spear head atop the thing. Lily blinked as she saw it.

"Nasty. Put that on a spear haft and you have a truly nasty mixture of tricks available. Plus it's simple enough to be mere practice for me."

"I can show you a few arrowheads next."

"That sounds like nightmare fuel, but sure."

He drew a few designs and Lily smiled.

"That diamond head looks like it's more a hunting tip then for killing men."

He chuckled.

"That's cause it is. These heads are made to penetrate hides with minimal resistance without overly damaging the pelt. This one here."

He tapped on that was more spear tip then arrowhead.

"See how it looks like a nail made form a spear? That will punch a hole in three inch steel at a hundred yard. Punch through the metal, man and poke a hole out the back plate."

She whistled.

"With that shape? Damn right it would. Scary bit is just how simple to make it is. Alls I need is decent steel. Hell, I can make a few right here in camp with this here fire."

Tyler rubbed her back as he pointed to the last design.

"See this? Doesn't it seem rather flimsy to you?"

Lily looked at the thin, triangle shaped head.

"Yeah, a good impact would break it entirely. Wait."

"Yup. This one is a infector shaft, that if you were to coat the tip with a nasty poison, and hit say a running deer,"

"It's kill the animal without really damaging the pelt or meat as the tip would break off, and you'd still be able to find it. Nasty, scary, and brilliant. That said, I don't like this one as you only get one use per head."

"True. But good for practicing."

"Not really. It's more a lesson for a beginner."

"Fair enough. Lets see, what others can I remember? Oh, I know!"

He drew another sword, this one with a slight curve along the spine, but as he reached near the tip, he made the blade drop into a belly before rejoining the tooth like tip. Lily blinked as she saw it.

"That's a scary image."

"right? I forget the name, but when swung, the goal is to get that belly into the flesh, as hit will rip right through whatever it hooks onto."

"That's just plain scary."

"I got another scary one. But it's a dual wielder set."

She watched as he drew a pair of fish hooks with a hand guard with a set of blades. Lily's red eyes went wide as she saw the fearsome looking weapons.

"Okay. What. The hell?"

Tyler chuckled.

"That's a hook sword, Lily. When used by one that knows how to use it, every pointy piece on it can either kill you, or royally fuck you up. That said, you have to wield them together or it don't hook."

Lily shook her head.

"That one will be a fun challenge."

"Right? I'll show you another one from a country in our world."

He drew a short haft with a wide blade with a curve in it. Lily tilted her head as she saw it.

"Huh. That looks rather beautiful. You know what it's called?"

"A naginata. The thing itself is as long as my spear is. Blade included."

"Ohh, I get it. A close range spear with slashing abilities. Interesting."

"Another option is adding serrations like a saw to various weapons like say an axe head."

Lily blinked as she sat back.

"That's a pretty good idea for practice. I'm currently struggling with adding serrations period, so having an excuse to perfect it is a good idea."

Tyler hugged her affectionately.

"Happy to help. Wanna see some shields, now?"

She yawned.

"Two shields, and that's all I have the attention for."

"Sure."

He drew a round shield with long spikes jutting from the boss.

"This is called a berserker shield. Its more geared toward offense, but a shields a shield."

Lily looked it over, and smiled.

"That's a nasty piece of work. Plus it can come in any size."

Tyler chuckled as he then drew a peculiar shield. It was small with a hand grip sideways, with the length of the shield covering his forearm rather then anything else. Lily took one look and smiled.

"I see. A small shield made for deflecting while on the move."

"Simple enough to make many, yet with plenty of room to play with it."

she nodded and set the small stack of designs away.

"These are some scary weapons and armor you have here. I'll look them over on the trail. The forging patterns I'll leave till we're back at the mansion."

Tyler looked around and saw the looks of tiredness.

"That's the bell."

Sera and the two spirits looked at Juniper.

"Join us in the tent!"

"It's warm!"

"Please?"

Juniper had no choice, and morphed into her fennec form, which made the girls giggle happily as Tyler walked in with Kaori and Malico. Tyler removed his shirt and mail as Malico and Kaori waited on their new Thrall bear, Wraith bear bed roll. Tyler laid between the two girls, and as they were getting comfy with their heads on his chest, Lily came over and laid on his chest.

"Dibs."

They laughed hard as the feisty elf got comfy. The camp settled down and Tyler smiled.

"Good night ladies. Love you Lily. Love you too, Kaori, Malico."

The tent chuckled as Wulf was too entangled with Ashy to really hear him.
