New Visitors

The trio had left shortly after leaving Draig to sleep finally, Ari however wasn't content with the way the talk had went. The little goblin's jealousy was evident, perhaps it was her nature or that of a maiden's heart but she refused to let those women woo Draig.

Thus she began plotting...

----------

Draig awoke the next morning feeling refreshed, as he opened his eyes he couldn't recall the last time he had felt so rested, attempting to rise he found that Ari wasn't clinging to his side as had started becoming the norm.

Getting up and looking around the cave he found her bent over completely naked, the sight was becoming a bit more welcome as he walked up behind her.

Ari hearing the footsteps approaching smiled deviously.

"Is there a reason you're not wearing your dress." asked Draig as the closer he got the more he felt the need to look away but being so close made him hunger for her.

"It's caught..." spoke Ari bringing his attention to the dress that had 'mysteriously' been caught on something.

"Could you help me?" came the innocent question though the plotting smirk on Ari's face showed it was anything but.

Sighing the killer grabbed a hold of her bare hips and gave her a light tug, this was it. Ari jumped the moment he tugged causing her to fly to her target. Draig fell backwards and Ari smirked as she felt warm breath on her nether just before impact.

"Oww it hurts." complained Ari grinding aggressively against Draig's face causing her to rapidly moisten.

However Draig reacted quickly and lifted her from his face and grabbed her up by the scruff.

"Now was there a point to all this" asked Draig as he couldn't help but smell the strong scent of berries.

"Just one of the benefits of our Alliance." Ari punctuated this with a light peck to his cheek causing the killer to drop her.

"All you women are like dogs in heat." sighed Draig as he stepped outside.

Ari on the ground however was feeling the effects of her mischief more than Draig, sneaking off she began to handle herself intensely.

-----------

'I suppose they must be more in touch with their more animalistic instincts' thought Draig as he couldn't find another explanation for the actions of the women who kept finding him.

Shaking his head, he began to hammer again unable to hear the squeaks coming from the cave behind him. Today he would be focusing on kunai, the killer's multitool.

----------- Golden Fortress------

Eliza was sitting at a table overlooking tunnel maps, lately she had been big on expanding their tunnels in search of more precious metals. However it was in the midst of this that one of her guards came running in bleeding heavily with traces of green venom along the wounds he had sustained.

"Your highness please evacuate, we already have the civilians leaving the fortress." the Guard choked up a bit before little spiders began pouring from his throat and he fell to the floor.

Eliza panicked and unable to cope with the scene moved on autopilot as she left the fortress, along the way she could see spiders of varying sizes beginning to crawl along the walls. She began to panic even more as she moved as fast as her little legs would carry her.

'Draig, he'll fix this.' was the immediate thought as she managed to get outside but when she heard the gates begin to groan she turned to see the guards dwelling within were closing the gates behind her.

Eliza watched this with tears.

"What are you doing we must go." demanded Eliza as she watched those resigned faces, a look of a true man in their eyes as they let those golden gates close on them locking the spiders within.

The queen of the Dwarves let the tears fall freely from her eyes as the people looked towards for a solution, seeing this she let only a few more tears fall before she raised her Maul.

"Come, we must grab an ally." stated Eliza giving no elaboration.

-----------Draig's enclave--------

Draig stared at the flattened piece of metal that was supposed to be a Kunai with frustration, he tossed it behind him where other flattened or broken kunai lay looking like hunks of playdoh.

'Now my rising strength is showing it's double edge...' thought Draig as he put down his hammer.

He had been at it for some time now using different hammers but no matter what it seemed before he could forge his tools he would need to get a reign on his physical prowess, this combined with fact his moves were becoming sloppy because his eyes couldn't acclimate to his speed left him with little choice.

Sighing he went to the beach, he didn't want to cause any damage around his dwelling after all.

---------Immortal tomb-------

Flare, Ur, and Suri sat at the table tracking the movements of the Berserk March when Frankie finally appeared again with two beast folk behind her.

"Mistress, the Alphas of Dog and Cat clans are here requesting assistance." reported Frankie as two large muscular men walked in with animal heads of their respective species.

"Fide requesting immediate assistance from an orc attack." bowed the Dog clan leader.

"Katz Requesting the same." bowed the cat man.

Suri looked at the two then their map in shock, the course the orc's were taking was far from what they had expected. Having believed they were moving in a straight line, however if they looked at the map it would seem they were moving in rows and snaking their way through the Lowlands.

"I am afraid we are incapable of helping..." admitted Suri as she couldn't help but feel the barb Ari had made about being pathetic hit.

"You mean you are refusing to help." growled Fide as he put his hand on his weapon.

"No, I mean we sincerely cannot help." started Suri but this only seemed to further aggravate the duo.

"Cool it whelps, Suri is telling the truth. We actually had to request assistance when we found out, that's why we can't help. We are relying on someone too." stated Flare flames exiting her lips as she took an aggressive tone.

Hearing this the two beast men looked at each other.

"Take us to to this person who can help us." bowed the two in unison, it seemed the situation was desperate.

"We can tell you where he is but your chances of convincing him are are basically zero." sighed Flare causing the two men to look at her strangely.

"Why is that." asked Katz fearing the worst.

"You're men." nodded Ur causing the two leaders to wonder what type of person was this mighty figure.

Thus a misunderstanding was formed.

---------At the beach---------

Draig could be seen punching rocks, some turned to pebbles others to smaller large rocks and some.... dust. It didn't take long for him to start acclimating after he actually started focusing on his power output.

As the sun began to set he placed one more punch into a rock and smiled when nothing happened. His speed may still be a problem but as long as he could control his strength he would be able to operate as a functional human being.

Little did he know the platter full of trouble awaiting him back at his cave.

--------Draig's Enclave----

Ari was staring at Eliza who was waiting for Draig, the dwarf having said nothing of her reason for being here.

"Hey... you okay." asked Ari as she went closer to the Dwarf Monarch.

"I-I just need Draig, do you really not know where he is." asked Eliza as she appreciated the sentiment but there was nothing the Goblin Queen could do.

While the duo discussed this Suri and Flare had arrived with the beast men and Ur.

"Ari, Draig is needed urgently. Is he still sleeping?" asked Suri trying to play mediator as she tried to push past the goblin.

However in an act the surprised the Corpse queen Ari pushed her back.

"Ari are we going to do this again? This is serious business, I know you don't understand but that is why I need to talk to Draig." started Suri only for Ari to glare at her.

"I understand more than you think, besides Draig isn't here." answered Ari as she felt a bit of hatred blossom for this for her friend.

Suri noticed the edge to Ari's gaze and silently admitted she might have been a bit harsh but pushing pat Ari she looked into the cave and saw Draig truly wasn't there.

"Where is he" asked Suri looking towards Ari.

"Where I am is none of your business." came the reply from the trees as Draig stepped out.

"Oh great, I need." started Suri only for Draig to hold up a hand.

"Of course you do." cut in Draig causing Suri to look embarrassed.

"Draig I need your help, please this is urgent." interrupted Eliza causing Draig to look at her questioningly.

"Wait, this is more important." started Suri

"Shut up. What do you need Eliza." asked Draig calmly causing Suri to feel a bit embarrassed as the two leaders looked at her with doubt.

"We breached the nest of some Arachne and now my city is overrun, the guards sealed the gates to keep them in but now my people have lost their homes and I could only come to you..." explained Eliza looking down.

"Alright, Alright." chuckled Draig causing Eliza to have mixed feelings.

'Women always crying for a guy to come take care of spiders' thought Draig as he motioned for Eliza to lead him.

"Wait right now?" asked Eliza causing Draig to sigh.

"You said urgent, urgent means now. So let's go." shepherded Draig making her lead him.

"W-Wait, we have urgent business too." spoke the two beast men deciding to get their word in.

"That's none of my business though." answered Draig causing Suri to sigh and Flare to look at the two with sympathy.

"We told you, males." whispered Flare causing the two beast men to look at each other as they looked hesitant.

"We'll be back with a proper offering" bowed the two before dashing off causing Draig to look confused at these irrational characters.

'Offerings? Did I miss something.' wondered Draig deciding to ignore the duo.

He had bugs to squish.
