Chapter 204- The First Monster(Girls) Appear!
[Keeno POV]
The outside of the city was just as if not even more overgrown than the city itself. Beyond even my own imagining, the once desert of ash had become a sea of trees, a jungle of immense proportions.
“THESE AINT EVEN THE RIGHT KINDA TREE!!!! WHERE ARE ALL THE ASH TREES!!!?? WHAT EVEN ARE THESE TREES!!??” (Keeno)
Stopping for a second to catch my breath, I sat on a tree root. After leaving the city and entering the jungle, we found that while the ground was still ash, so many tree roots had spread everywhere that the ground was as hard as packed dirt, and that was when we weren’t just walking on roots or large, low hanging branches of the trees.
“Keeno, stop yelling like that. Do you want to attract monsters?” (Pram)
“Sorry. I just couldn’t hold it in any longer.” (Keeno)
Freya was about to say something, but the sound of some leaves rustling unnaturally made us all go quiet. We grouped up closer together as the rustling got more violent. Mostima, Freya, and I prepared some magic while making sure Pram was protected when we heard something…unexpected.
“Aaahhhnnn!!!”
We all completely froze. Soon, the leaves stopped rustling as two…people(?) fell to the ground, locked in…well…blissful pleasure. With the way they landed, one was pinned under the other. The one with their back to the floor was a tall woman with tanned, bronze skin, though her arms and legs seemed more reptilian than any human or beastkin I’ve seen. Her tail was a brilliant ruby color with a small flame replacing what would be spines with weak red flames. The one riding atop the lizard-like woman was another woman much shorter than the bottom on. Her hair was a pale blue, bordering grey and stopped just above her shoulders. Her body was the same as a human’s all the way till her lower thighs and midway from her upper arms. Instead of human feet she had the legs and feet of a bird. Her arms turned into wings the same color as her hair. She was perched on the lizard-like woman while gently grinding her hips against her abs, all the while the tail of the pinned woman was wagging to and fro.
“Eheheheeheaaaaaaahhhhh! Hahahahahahaahah! Ahh! Ahn!”
The bird lady seemed to be on the cusp of finishing when the pinned woman moved her knee, knocking the bird woman off balance and flipping the dynamic. The lizard woman now pinned the bird woman, the lizard woman’s ruby-red hair forming a curtain around their faces as they kissed and moaned in bliss.
Not knowing what to really do in this situation, we tried to just quietly move away to avoid notice. We almost did too, till the lizard woman stopped and sniffed the air. She looked over at us with a lust filled gaze only to then tilt her head in confusion. The bird woman also looked at us and did the same. They crawled off of each other, not even attempting to cover anything and stared.
“Uh.”
“Ke kikekekii.”
“Un.”
The bird woman flapped her wings and took to the air. She grabbed the lizard woman by the shoulders and flew away. We all looked at one another and stood there in just complete shock.
“Ama. Explain.” (Keeno)
{Fu and Moco found a pair of books randomly that held some foreign divine power on them. They were going to give them to someone who could deal with them properly, but being the curious duo they are, read them first. The contents ignited a desire for the two of them to get their third Authority over Monsters. They, through a deal with someone important, got that Authority. A while back, with help from me and Hresvelgr, these creatures were created.}
“…” (All)
{And before you say anything, it wasn’t mine or Hresvelgr’s idea to have these creatures be like…that. Fu and Moco were very insistent that they be like that. The only change I convinced them was a good thing was where Keeno and anyone close to her are safe from the advances of these monsters on a biological level.}
“Ama…Fu and Moco need a lover.” (Keeno)
“…” (Freya)
“What’s wrong, Freya?” (Pram)
“I have this weird feeling like Geri, Freki, and all the other Death Spirits are similar to these new monsters. Think about it, if it wasn’t for Keeno, they’d all be going around just as exposed, and they just give me that vibe.” (Freya)
“Slander!” (Geri)
“We have standards too!” (Freki)
“Standards called Red!” (Geri)
“RED!!!” (Freki)
“We won’t defend the others though.” (Geri)
“They are exactly as Freya said.” (Freki)
“Wow. Not even trying to defend them there.” (Mostima)
“No point in doing that when their actions speak louder.” (Geri)
“All this aside, I think we should keep moving. There’s no telling what else may pop up if we just stand here.” (Keeno)
Moving on, we all avoided the puddle where the two monster girls were earlier. Thankfully the road that was here before was still a bit visible, though the further we went the harder it got to follow. When the suns began setting, we looked around and found a tree with a bit hollow spot in it for camp. Setting everything up, we all sat around a small fire.
Munching on a small piece of meat I looked out into the jungle. It was quite dark with beams of moonlight piercing through the leaves. The sound of insects was everywhere, adding to the atmosphere. A small breeze made the leaves high up shifts with a pleasing sound, that is until the wind carried the sound of moaning in the distance.
“…” (Keeno)
“This is going to be a long night.” (Pram)
“Why can’t any of us have wind magic?” (Freya)
“I can cover the entrance with some rocks, though I don’t know how well that’ll work out with blocking sound.” (Mostima)
One of my ears twitched when Mostima suggested that, but thinking about it rationally, it was probably the best option if any of us wanted some decent sleep. The others seemed to think the same, so Mostima stood up and summoned one of her staves. Waving it at the entrance to the small hollow, a large boulder raised from the ground and blocked the entrance. There was enough of a hole at the top to let smoke from the campfire out and light from the moons through, but hardly any sound could be heard. Just for some added help, I also carved a Rune for reducing sound on the boulder. When I activated it, it shuddered with power before small cracks started forming.
“Hopefully this’ll last till morning.” (Keeno)
“It should, I infused a lot of mana into that rock.” (Mostima)
“Then how about I take first watch and Mostima take last watch? Seeing as we’re the ones most proficient in Runes, and you with earth magic it will definitely last.” (Keeno)
“Sounds good to me. Pram, Freya, anything to add?” (Mostima)
“Nope. We’ll get some sleep now then.” (Pram)
“Same. Call if anything happens, Keeno.” (Mostima)
I nodded and the three of them went to their tents. Thus our first long night in the changed Lokir started.
Chaos Realm:
Luna: Payto, I can’t believe you greenlit that.
Why? What have I ever done that makes you think I wouldn’t?
Luna: …I mean…
Nothing coming to mind?
Luna: No. Though I’m still shocked you’d allow them to do this since those books were originally from a different divine space.
The books have long been returned to their owner, and it’s not like I don’t have copies myself. Several other worlds in different layers of the Sea of Chaos have worlds with similar creatures, so I saw no need to stop it.
Luna: Plus, you think it’s gonna lead to funny stuff.
Yep.
Luna: Where is Order when you need her? You’re clearly going crazier when she’s away for long periods of time.
It’s not my fault Astraea’s been wanting to go out more. I want to go too, but they always say it’s something I’m not allowed to see or something along those lines.
Luna: Hmm. Ah.
???
Luna: Nothing…though you can be surprisingly dense sometimes.
?????
What do you think?
