13. Chapter 13

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY EVERYBODY! Guess who got back from a four month long Hiatus huh?!

Sorry it took so blasted long, a lot of it was in part due to personal issues compounded by job affairs as well along with some other obligations. It also didn't help that I wanted to make this chapter a bit longer as well! Anyway, I do apologize about the long wait, so here's another chapter for youuuuuuuuuuuu!

But before that, let me get to some review responses!

The Impossible Muffin: I know right? But I'm sure in a fantasy land like the MGE there is more then likely the magical equivalent of one around... lets hope one never has to be used huh?

ZY-Guy: lul, I thought it would be good to use the corrupted text for things relating to things like eldritch horrors, glad to see it did the job! Also, I do apologize for the mix ups of the 'were' and "where" issues. If I'm not paying any attention I tend to fall into that bad habit.

Karharot: all good lessons to go by in a series like this. IN answer to the question though, You'll find out in this chapter!

MGEObserver: Well, maybe not a 9 year boat ride, but this trip will round itself up by the next chapter. I pretty much got everything on the boat done that I wanted to do.

notstudying: and you would be right... partially at any rate...

Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter 13

Andrew woke with a start, his mind suddenly racing as it tried it's best to keep up with what was currently going on in relation to what had been happening before he had passed out. It took him little to no time to recall what had happened before he passed out, but it took him a little more time to figure out where he was exactly. Thankfully the familiar feeling of softness and the creaking of wood jogged his memory to the point that he knew he was back in his bed on the blissful tide. Even the arrangement of individuals around him was much the same way with Labareda and Unoma in front and Aruma behind him. However, the sound of clinking armor caused him to look around the room to see that Serena had stood up from one of the sofas, the twin tail looking in his general direction with a look of some worry followed by one of relief when she saw him looking at her.

"Well well well. Look who finally decided to wake up. You feeling okay?"

Working himself to an upright position only to be greeted with a headache the likes of which would have split a mountain, Andrew opted to stay down for a bit as he answered through some clenched teeth.

"Alright? I think? I'm not sure… I feel like my body has been through some shit and this headache is nothing like I have ever felt in my entire life… but at least I'm alive."

Serena only nodded at him before she walked over next to the bed and looked down at him.

"Small blessings I suppose. You should thank Aruma for that. She did… something with Unoma there and it seemed to fix whatever was happening with you. I think it really drained her too from what the two of them told me."

Andrew looked to the red head for a moment before he looked to Aruma behind him, the small girl looking content in her sleep, a small smile creeping into his features looking at her. Feeling a small bout of curiosity about it, Andrew opted to hold off on asking until everyone was awake and rested.

"I see… I'll keep it in mind then… by the way, how long have I been out for?"

At that, Serena thought about it for a moment before she did a little calculation in her head.

"I think… a few hours at most. The sun was starting to go down when I came down here a little while ago. We haven't moved though since the crew wanted to grab the giant turtle thing. They said it would slow us down by a day and a half, but the payout would be worth it… or so I was told by the captain. Other than that, I've kinda just been wandering the boat until Lab and Unoma went to sleep. Then I kinda just stayed down here. Oh, Jonathan and Sarya both came by to see how you were doing."

Andrew nodded at her before he looked down at himself and dared to risk pulling himself up into a sitting position. Though it caused his headache to flare up, he was still able to push past it. Taking a low breath to steady himself, Andrew looked back at her and responded.

"I see. I'll have to go and let them know I'm doing alright now that I'm up… as soon as this headache goes away…"

"Fair enough." Was her only response. A few minutes of silence followed after that, the both of them seemingly deep in thought, though Serena was feeling a little awkward about it since the silence and being alone with Andrew caused her to remember what happened in the shower. This in turn caused a blush to begin to form on her face, the girl trying her best to look at anything but Andrew at the moment. Andrew however was a little more mentally invested in something else, that something else being him trying to get the attention of the demons in his employ.

'Oi! Are you fucks awake? I need to have a god damned word with you! More specifically, You Grendal! Get your ass out here!'

However, try as he might, he couldn't get any kind of reaction out of anything, and it just felt like he was mentally screaming at nothing. Andrew continued to do this for a few more minutes before he finally gave up, the mental exertion taxing him more then he thought. Letting out a low sigh, Andrew could only fume at this development. However, this action caught Serena's attention, causing the girl to look at him curiously.

"Everything okay there?"

Caught a little unaware with the sudden question, Andrew blankly looked at Serena for a moment before the question processed in his head, causing him to shrug his shoulders.

"For the most part. My head is killing me though. I think I may have pushed myself a little too hard.

Serena, getting a little tired of standing, opted to sit down at the edge of the bed.

"I see… if you don't mind my asking, what exactly did you do? All I know is that you had apparently gotten into the ocean, and then something happened down there. After that, Lab and Unoma dropped to the deck in pain and couldn't do anything until Aruma showed up and did… whatever it was she did to help you guys."

For a moment, Andrew could only look at Serena in some confusion. His mind managed to process what she said though, and he spoke up in some confusion and fear.

"…Unoma and Lab were in pain? Why?"

Serena only shook her head at him.

"Do I look like I know? Those two are the magical experts, not me. All I know is that it had something to do with you, so that's why I'm asking you what happened."

However, Andrew was unsure of how to answer, this information mentally upsetting anything else he might have thought of. Having turned away from the somewhat confused Serena, Andrew looked down at himself in thought, his mind running itself around in circles about what he had just learned.

'They where hurt? How? What ended up happening after I… did whatever I did? I need more information, but Serena and the rest didn't see me after I went into the water, so they wouldn't exactly know… maybe some of the rest of the crew saw me? Maybe they would know. I need to find out though.'

Coming to a quick mental decision, Andrew nodded to himself before let out a low and concentrated breath of air.

"Alright then… Serena?"

A little startled by his sudden shift from deeply thinking to looking at her, the girl faltered in her response for a moment.

"Uh… y-yeah?"

"Do you happen to know where Frida or Fenella are at right now?"

Serena was still a little confused by what he said, but it quickly clicked into place before she answered him.

"Uh… I think on the deck or in the crew quarters. Might wanna check the deck first though."

Nodding to her in thanks, Andrew began to work his way out of the bed carefully so as not to disturb the rest of the party. Thankfully his headache had subsided enough for him not to feel pain every time he moved, so it had been a simple task to get out of bed and on his feet. However, before he could start making his way for the door, the sound of Serena's voice stopped him.

"Hold up, are you about to head out?"

Turning around, Andrew nodded at her.

"Yeah, that would be correct."

"Uh, hello? You just woke up from some kind of magic coma thing. You really shouldn't be walking around already."

Andrew shrugged his shoulders at her, knowing that her words where right, but not really feeling as bad as when he had just woken up.

"I should be fine."

"Should be is not a guarantee of any sort you dummy. Seriously, get back to bed and wait for the rest of them to wake up."

Serena stood up and walked up to him in a show of trying to put him back to bed. However, when she got close, she was reminded that Andrew was a whole head taller then her, and she also recalled that he was also magically enhanced, making him stronger then her as well. However, she only let it deter her for a moment before she put her hands on his chest in an effort get him back in bed. However, Andrew wasn't having any of it, though he was rather polite about it.

"No, I'm fine. Really. I might have a slight headache now, but it's not that bad. I think finding one of the crew would be more important right now seeing as I need to figure some stuff out about what happened."

Serena only looked up at him with a scanning gaze, her mind telling her that he really needed to get back to bed and rest up. However, the look in his eyes told her that he probably was going to do whatever it is that he wanted, her permission not being any kind of chain to keep him here. Letting out a low sigh, the twintail backed off from him and replaced her hands to her hips.

"Fine. If you have to go, then thats fine. But I'll be going with you just in case okay? The moment you collapse or show any signs of pain and I'll drag you right back here, got it?"

Andrew nodded at her, the request sounding reasonable.

"I'm good with that."

"Good, glad we got that out of the way."

She said matter of fact-ly. Andrew only chuckled to himself for a moment before he began making his way for the door, though the sound of Serena's voice behind him caused him to stop.

"Should we leave a note for the rest of them in the event they wake up?"

Andrew turned his attention back to her before he drew his attention to the sleeping trio in the bed. It was a good suggestion, and seeing as it wouldn't hurt to do so, Andrew went to his military clothing and pulled out a small notebook along with a pen and wrote something. He then put it in a place that would be easy to see and nodded back to Serena in confirmation.

"I think that should do it. Let's go see if we can find any one of the crew members."

Nodding to him in confirmation, Serena followed after him as he passed through the door and into the interior of the ship. The both of them began making there way to the stairs up to the deck. As they got halfway down the hall though, the both of them saw one of the side doors open up to reveal Sarya making her way out of the room. The elf, who had not been paying much attention as she left, turned to see the both of them, eliciting a small look followed by some recognition. That quickly gave way to a large grin on her face as she waved at the both of them.

"Hey you two! Good to see you both up and about! Especially you big guy!"

It didn't take a genius to figure out who the big guy was in this situation, thus Andrew smiled at her in return.

"Hey Sarya. I'm also glad to be up and amongst the conscious."

"Good thing, was afraid you had kicked the bucket there for a bit with the way Morgana had been talking about you."

Curious about this sudden bit of info, Andrew turned to look at where Sarya had come out of.

"Did she? Is she aware of what had happened to me?"

Sarya shrugged her shoulders at him.

"I think she knows what happened, but she didn't explain it very well."

Andrew nodded at her before he looked back at the doorway.

"Is she good to talk right now? I kinda wanted to ask someone about what had happened. My memories cut out after a certain point, so I don't have a full idea of what had happened."

"She's good for a bit, but she isn't down here. She went to talk with the captain about it. That was about an hour ago or so, so she might be on her way back to rest up… or she might be heaving off the side of the deck. No idea, but maybe you can catch her on the way up."

"I see… thanks for the telling me Sarya."

The elf smiled at him as she waved.

"No problem big guy. Just glad to see your okay… Oh, by the way… I know it hasn't been that long since I told you… but did you happen to do that thing I told you about yet?"

Andrew noticed the elf's gaze wander to his side, forcing him to look in that direction to see Serena, who had been listening to the two of them intently. It quickly dawned on him what she was talking about and he quickly shook his head.

"Ah… not yet actually…"

Sarya gave him something of a chastising look before she sighed.

"Well… it's understandable given what had happened, but like I said earlier, don't put it off for very long."

Serena, who had no idea what either one was on about, only looked between the two of them in a confused manner. Andrew nodded at Sarya in answer.

"Got it. It won't slip my mind again."

With a nod of her head, Sarya smiled at him again before she moved out of his way.

"Alright then, I'll catch you guys in a little bit. Oh yeah, Serena, if you wanna hang out when you get done, I'm free to do so later on."

Serena smiled at her elven friend as she walked past.

"Thanks, I might do that after I make sure this guy doesn't do anything else stupid."

Andrew could only chuckle at the statement, not really able to refute Serena given his current track record.

"Well, if that's all, then I think we need to be on our way. I got questions that need answers and, no offense to you Sarya, I won't find them here."

Sarya smiled and waved at him as he walked past, the duo doing the same. With a more defined destination in mind, Andrew had an idea of who he might need to speak with. Making his way up the stairs (and only offering a cursory glance at Imh'ege's door) Andrew wasn't very surprised when he saw that nobody was in the kitchen area. He could still smell the remnants of dinner though; the cooked food having lingered in the area. Though that was secondary to the idea of him getting what he needed. A moment later, and Andrew and Serena where out on the deck, the sun having dipped to just above the horizon, rays of light casting a deep reddish orange color across the water. Andrew had to stop and take it in for a moment, the sight dazzling in its own right. Serena was also in awe of the beauty of it, though it didn't hold her attention as much as it did Andrew. Which is why she was able to notice the deck before he did, thus allowing her to see who all was out here.

"Oh, hey Jonathan."

Andrew, having been shaken out of his sunset inspired gaze, turned to see that Jonathan was indeed out on the deck. However, he was not alone, and seemed to have been in the middle of helping haul what looked to be some kind of meat chunk from up the side of the boat. The rest of those with him where Fenella, Frida, and Silque. Tannath was also on the deck, but she had been looking out into the water, her eyes on the corpse of the giant turtle dragon currently roped onto the boat. Serena's call caught everyone's attention though, causing them all to look and see them both having come out from the kitchen. Jonathan was the first to respond, a smile on his face while his hand came up to wave at them.

"Ser Andrew, Lady Serena. Good to see you both! Though I am very happy to see you up and about Ser Andrew."

Andrew couldn't help but smile back at the man, his hand coming up in a small wave of his own.

"Likewise Jonathan."

Making there way closer to the group, Andrew couldn't help but notice that each of the crew members had varying looks on their faces. Both Frida and Fenella looking somewhat wary, but trying to hide that behind some smiles. Silque looked genuinely happy to see him up and about, though her looking at the other two members of her party with some annoyance on her face detracted from that a bit. Tannath looked… well… she looked about as bored as usual, but she did seem to have a small smile hidden behind her bored expression. All in all, a mixed bag in regards to him in particular, while told him some things about who it was he might need to talk to right now. However, his attention was on that large slab of meat they had hauled up onto the deck, and thus he had to ask the question now on his mind.

"So… couldn't help but notice… what the heck is that supposed to be and what are you guys doing with it?"

Jonathan, wiping the sweat from his brow, looked to the meat next to him before he got the gist of what it was Andrew was asking. However, Frida beat him to it.

"Easy, we wanted to get a bite out of the bastard that was gonna try to rip our ship apart. Not only that, but a Dragon Turtle's meat is said to taste delicious!"

Fenella nodded her head in agreement while her eyes where scanning the acquired foods with some expectancy and joy. Andrew could only take it that as a cook, she obviously wanted to take a crack at cooking it. She looked back to him and smiled at him.

"Very true… but it's also said that any kind of dragon meat is said to have powerful magical abilities, healing being amongst them… so we where hoping that it might heal you up in the event you didn't wake up any sooner… or something like that…"

She somewhat petered off, but Andrew smiled at her and the concern the crew seemed to show. However, Silque running up and almost hug tackling him forced him to look down at the mermaid, aforementioned girl looking up at him with a bright smile on her face.

"Yeah! Everyone from your team was getting worried! I was too of course, but now that your up and about, I'm sure your better! Now you can eat something to boost your strength, and if the rumors are true, eating that meat will boost the sex drive of any male eight-fold!"

"Ah… I see… glad to see you keep your priorities straight Silque."

Andrew couldn't help but laugh a little at her remarks, even more so when he saw some of the crew sheepishly look at him. Only letting out a small sigh, Andrew simply pat the girl on her head before he detached himself from the mermaid.

"Well… maybe I'll eat some later, for now, I'm kinda curious about what exactly happened. After I got into the water I kinda just… blacked out. Anybody mind filling me in on the details?"

At that, Andrew noticed that Frida and Fenella looked to each other with nervous expressions on their faces. Tannath only shook her head at him, as if to stall for the other two.

"Dunno really, I didn't see you go into the water, my attention on trying to find some navy vessel, but holy shit did I feel your energy. It felt like you where right next to me when it went out. Thankfully it didn't last very long, else I was afraid I would have dropped into the sea due to mana sensory overload. By the time I got back, the Dragon turtle was already dead and Frida had told me you where the one to kill it."

Andrew was somewhat shocked by that, but he had the feeling that had been the case. Andrew looked to the mershark, a questioning look in his eyes.

"So… I was the one to kill the thing? If you don't mind my asking… how exactly."

Frida, who had been nervous before, looked really uncomfortable right now as she tried not to look at him.

"Um… ah… well… you… well… you swam up to it and snapped its neck like an overly rotten and wet piece of driftwood."

At that, Andrew had to blink in utter surprise, an expression shared by both Jonathan and Serena, the both of them then turning to look at Andrew in equal amounts of shock.

"I… snapped its neck?"

"Yeah. Just like this."

Frida put her hands up to her head and imitated a twisting motion with her hands and neck. However, Fenella opted to speak up.

"I get the feeling your looking for a little more information then that though. To elaborate a bit on what she said, after you dropped into the water, you seemed to stay there for a moment or two before an ungodly amount of energy came from you. You looked to be wreathed in pure energy… or dark magic. All that we could really use to define you in it all was that your silhouette was the same. But your eyes where pure white, and your appearance seemed to… shift at times, as if to take on a more… demonic form. Other then that, I couldn't tell you anymore seeing as I'm not sure what exactly it is you did. I think the mage, Morgana I think her name was, knows more about it then we do."

Frida nodded her head while Jonathan spoke up next in agreement.

"Yes, Morgana said something about it and that she needed to speak with the captain about it. She should still be in the captain quarters if you wanted to speak with her though."

Andrew, all this information leaving him somewhat at a loss of words, nodded slowly at Jonathan in answer. Everything they said didn't sound real to him, but at the same time, they would have no reason to lie about the events. Which made what he heard even worse to him. However, this only further pushed him to get answers, and seeing as Morgana seemed to hold them, he looked behind him to see the captain's door across the deck. Turning himself back around, he smiled at the crew and Jonathan.

"Thanks for the info. Though I hate to run just when we where getting into some conversation, I'm afraid that I kinda want some answers right now. Again, thanks though, and good luck with… Uh… harvesting I guess?"

Jonathan nodded at him as he turned back around and got to detaching the ropes from the meat slab. However, the feeling of another tackle hug around his middle informed him of Silque's general location.

"M'kay! I was kinda hoping you would keep on your promise, but I guess you need some food and rest first! Maybe tomorrow… or later tonight if you're feeling up to it!"

Though she sounded innocent and cheerful about it, it was hard for Andrew to imagine that she was talking about sex right now. Though he had to admit that he sorta was looking forward to it. Waving one last time at the crew, Andrew then turned back around and began making his way toward the captain's door across the deck. However, he couldn't help but notice the stare coming from Serena as she walked next to him. It didn't seem to have any kind of deep emotion to it, but Andrew couldn't help but feel that she might be a little annoyed. Feeling the need to point it out, though he had a feeling it had something to do with him, Andrew did just that.

"Something on your mind? You seem to be giving me a real heated gaze."

Serena, almost as if she hadn't been aware of her staring, blinked a few times before she turned away, a little red in the face, but now looking a little annoyed.

"Not really. I just find it amazing that you have the time to sleep with so many women with impunity. More so that they all seem so okay with it."

Andrew mentally found himself thinking to what Sarya had said before about Serena coming to like him, though she wasn't aware of it herself. Thus, he couldn't help but find it kinda cute that she seemed to be jealous. Though it brought back to mind about the reasons for all of this in the first place, something he found that he would need to talk about with her as soon as he could.

"I see… well, this world is different from the one you or I inhabit, so I think that it might be the norm around here. But I guess it is kinda hard to let such mentalities go. Though truth be told, I was never one to sleep around like I do now… I find it kinda odd now that I think about it, but at the same time, a lot of things have been odd with me lately… though I guess the same could be said of you as well Serena."

Not sure exactly what he was getting at, the red head looked at him curiously.

"What do you mean?"

Now it was Andrews turn to blush somewhat.

"Well… I know you from legends and whatnot… and as far as I recall… you didn't come of quite so… promiscuous in them."

Serena, due to no fault of her own, had no idea what that word even meant, and thus she could only look at him curiously.

"Promiscuous? What's that mean?"

"Uh… maybe that's not the right word… you weren't quite so… eh… lewd? Horny? Nothing in your legends indicated as such, and I never would have taken you for liking other women."

Now the girl was deep red in the face, her mouth stammering to get some words out.

"I-I-I am no such thing! And what difference does it make to you if I happen to like other women!?"

Andrew only shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, its not like its any of my business, but I would think that after what happened in the shower earlier-"

She quickly cut him off right there, her mouth yammering something unintelligible while she waved her arms in the air as if to stop him from talking.

"Ay Ay Ay! Stop! Don't talk about it!"

Only grinning at her due to the embarrassment he had managed to put her through, Andrew decided to do just that.

"Alright…"

However, the mirth fell away from his face when he mentally decided to get what was coming next out of the way.

"Anyway… do you mind if we talked privately later on Serena? Just you and me?"

The red head blinked a few times before the words set in, her mind suddenly racing about what this might be about or what it might be indicating. However, she did a good job of not letting it show through as she more steadily responded to him.

"Eh? Um… sure. I should be good for that… but what for?"

Andrew somewhat hesitated for a moment, not sure if outright saying the reason for it would be a good way to start this off, so he opted to go with a less defined answer.

"It's for something important. Something between you and me actually."

For a second, Serena looked at him before her mind began racing, the thought of anything really scary or serious not really entering her mind.

Andrew thought that sounded vague enough to count as being serious, though when he saw the blush and look on Serena's face, he felt that maybe he may have simply caused a misunderstanding instead. Only internally sighing to himself, he could only hope that he could resolve it when they got the chance to talk. Finally having made their way to the captain's door, the both of them came to a halt as they inspected it. Serena, having worked her way out of her mental scape of misunderstanding, opted to point out the first thing she saw about the door.

"So… if it doesn't have a handle… how do we get in? Just magic it open or something?"

Andrew, who was thinking that very thought, only scrunched his brow in thought.

"Yeah… that's the case… only problem is that I don't know how to… Ah… 'magic' it open like you said. I only saw the captain do it once, and I'm not well versed in magic to begin with…"

Serena looked at Andrew for a moment, his words ringing true before she simply shrugged her shoulders and did the next best thing in this situation. She walked up to the door and knocked on it loudly so that it would not escape the attention of any individuals behind it. Andrew nodded at how she handled that and instead looked to the door to wait for a response. Thankfully they got one a moment later, though it was something they hadn't been expecting.

A sudden image of the captain's face appeared in front of the door, the captains face looking somewhat perplexed for a moment as she responded.

"Hello? Who is… oh!"

Upon seeing who it was, her expression changed to one of surprise followed by a somewhat bewildered smile.

"Well well Well, speak of the demon and he will come. Good to see you up and about Andrew, it's also nice to see you as well Serena. Truth be told, we were just talking about you… well, we've actually been talking about you for an hour now. Please come in, the door should be open at this point. I wanted to speak with you about something important."

Not sure if this thing was two-way, Andrew opted to nod at her as the image vanished. Hearing the sound of something clicking, no doubt the door coming unlocked, Andrew put his hand out and opened said door easily enough. What greeted him when he did open the door though was the assuring sounds of someone heaving their guts out along with the very disturbing sound of something wet and chunky coming into contact with a container of some sort. Andrew along with Serena couldn't hide the looks of discomfort on their faces at the noise, though truth be told, they couldn't fault the source.

Morgana, who was currently kneeling next to a large wooden bucket with her face hanging over the edge, was the source of said sound right now. Captain Kanneth, who was kneeling next to her, had her hand on her back as if to try to ease her body with a pitying smile on her face. However, she turned to look at the two that had just come in and smiled more brightly.

"Please, come on in and have a seat. Dear Morgana here just happened to have a very rough batch of seasickness, so please forgive the current display. And she was fighting it off so well too…"

Andrew Turned to Serena, the girl looking somewhat uncomfortable about the whole thing, but they both decided to go inside. They did just that, and they both found what seats they could with Andrew taking the one in front of the table while Serena found a comfy looking plush chair. Kanneth, pleased to see them both, turned her attention back to the heaving woman next to her and started to rub her back again. However, Andrew was quick to note that her hand seemed to be glowing with energy. He was sure it was magic of some sort, but he didn't have the proficiency to know exactly what it was she was doing. Though if he was to hazard a guess, it was some kind of healing magic if the rapid decline of Morgana's heaving was anything to go by. After waiting another minute or two, the mage woman finally was able to get her stomach under control, though when she looked up she certainly didn't look that well. However, Andrew and Serena didn't opt to say anything on the matter and simply let Kanneth take care of her for the next minute. After a little more time had passed, Morgana finally didn't look like death had a hold of her and she was sitting in a chair across from Andrew, Kanneth on one side and the bucket not to far away.

Andrew was the first to initiate conversation by clearing his throat.

"So…ah… feeling good enough to talk for a bit?"

Morgana gave him a cross look, but she opted to keep it at just that.

"Hardly, but this is too important for me to just sit down with my face in a bucket."

Andrew nodded in agreement with that.

"Agreed… so… what can you tell me about what happened earlier? I don't have any memory of it, and what I managed to gather from Frida and Fenella only gave me a partial picture."

Morgana eyed him for a moment before she pushed her glasses up to the bridge of her nose.

"I see you have gotten some of the story. This saves me some time and explanation. Very well then… I'm sure being the magical novice you are, you wouldn't have any idea of what magical overload is, so I will go ahead and explain it to you. Magical overload is basically when you circulate far too much magical power through your body to the point of infringing on your physical senses. Seeing as magical energy, even the stuff in the human body, is somewhat chaotic, this can have a multitude of effects in a mage."

Seeing that Andrew, along with Serena, had a confused look, she opted to point him out.

"What exactly are you having trouble comprehending."

Seeing as he had the floor, Andrew spoke up.

"Well… the part I'm having trouble understanding is the bit about the magical energy interfering with the physical body. Since magical energy comes from your body, shouldn't it be able to handle the amount it has?"

"Passively, yes it can do this, but forcing it to flow through your body at a rate of your choosing is like using a muscle you haven't used in a long time for starters to the magical arts. One can train the body to sustain the flow, but you have to get used to it first or you run the risk of magical overload. In your case, since your power comes from the world tyrant and you had never had a magical flow in the first place, you can very easily cause this by using just a fraction of that power."

Andrew nodded at her, but he felt he had to ask something else.

"Then what about my drastic increase in physical strength? Is that a result from my body passively circulating that power?"

Before Morgana could speak, she felt her body churn for a moment, rendering her unable to speak for a moment. However, Kanneth decided to take over to allow the mage a moment to recover.

"Yes, That Is correct. Though I only know monsters and Mamono to be able to do this. Though given where your power comes from and who crafted your magical circuits, I'm not all that surprised…"

Andrew nodded his head in understanding, though Morgana spoke up a moment later.

"Since your body is still trying to get used to it from the looks of it, it can be expected that your physical power will continue to grow over time until you achieve the same level of strength he did… well, granted you survive to see the day."

Andrew didn't like the sound of that, but the question was taken out of his mouth when Serena spoke up in a worried tone.

"What do you mean by that? Will this kill him?"

"It could if he isn't careful, but I think that both his familiars will be much more observant of him from now on to see that that does not happen. No, the thing you should start to worry about now is others coming after you, especially after what you did."

Andrew looked at Morgana in confusion, but he had a feeling he knew what she was going to say.

"I…take it that my use of power was rather… attention grabbing?"

Kanneth chuckled nervously.

"That's… a mild way of putting it."

Morgana only rolled her eyes.

"You emitted enough power for anybody with even the slightest ability to detect magic to feel you. And I mean anybody, that's pretty much on a world-wide scale."

Andrew nodded at her for a moment, the words not really sinking in for him just yet. Seeing this, Morgana narrowed her eyes at him.

"In case you're not aware, many people felt that surge of power, and anybody who's lived long enough to recognize it will think either Oda has returned, or that someone has his power. One of those actually being true."

It took him a second, but Andrew quickly began to get what it was she was hinting at.

"Ah… OH! Oh shit… I'm a target now aren't I."

Kanneth and Morgana nodded at him in confirmation, leaving Andrew feeling like he was just hit with a very sudden realization. Feeling the overwhelming thought start to hone in on him, Andrew looked down at his hands in some futile attempt to try to see past the flesh and at the power in his body. This power was now making him a target, a target that had been feared almost a thousand years ago. However, Kanneth speaking up caused him to look up at her.

"Well… it will make you a target yes, but I think the only ones you will need to truly fear are major powers like the gods and their factions, the demon lord herself, and perhaps any would be survivors to Odas army. Still though, they don't know you like we know you, and I know you're a good person from what I can see… though just to be safe, you should probably try to learn how to suppress your power to non-existent levels so as not to be hunted. Though I'm still a little surprised that of all the powers you possessed, it was those of the World Tyrant himself… I guess my vision has some merit to it right?"

Andrew couldn't help but smile weakly at her, though a huff from Morgana drew attention.

"You can try to suppress it, but it will only be a matter of time before someone finds out. You can't keep that kind of power hidden forever no matter how hard you try. Sadly, the only thing that could be done at this point to stop it is to straight up kill you."

Andrew was a little surprised, but Serena jumping to her feet was a little more surprising then the fact that Morgana was suggesting to murder him.

"Woah! Hold up! I think we should be looking for some other method then straight up extermination! It not like he asked to be like this or be filled with some evil gods power right? Plus, Aruma managed to suppress him earlier, who's to say that she can't do it again? Not only that, he can also try to learn to harness it! I mean, Unoma and Labareda should be able to do that, they are really powerful to if you guys are telling the truth."

Morgana let out a low sigh.

"Maybe, maybe not. I don't know, but the World Tyrant is feared for a reason. As for the bit with Aruma… well, you'll need to discuss that with her. The only way I see that option working is to seal his power back up along with the girl. And I get the feeling you want to avoid that. But again, I'm sure both of your familiars should be able to-"

Before she could comment any further, Kanneth sat up straighter then she was a moment ago and started to speak.

"Yes who-"

She was also cut off, but not by a person talking. This time it was by the sounds of the door behind them being torn off it's hinges by being kicked in. Rapidly turning around, everyone was able to see the short form of a fiery little red headed demonic familiar. It was easy to see that she looked absolutely livid right now, but oddly enough, that fury filled gaze was directed at her current master and no one else. Nobody dared to say anything… well, almost nobody. The one who dared was the man currently being glared at.

"Labareda, you could've just-"

She cut him off when she raised her arm in the air and pointed at him.

"You. Stand up."

Not sure what exactly was going on, Andrew looked to Serena for some kind of help. The twintail only looked at him, equally confused. Doing as he was asked to, Andrew stood up. Then she pointed off to the side.

"Move away from the table."

Again, not sure what the hell was going on, Andrew did as he was asked and moved off to the side.

"Okay, so what exactly-"

What had to have been the fourth time someone had been cut off mid-sentence, Andrew shut his mouth when Lab literally launched herself right at him, the Baphomet going airborne with a lariat. Catching him right in the chest and knocking the wind out of him, the both of them went down, though Andrew was quickly mounted with Lab staring down at him with fury.

"Why do you feel the need to put yourself in obtuse amounts of danger?! Not only that, you have the gall to make a promise that you won't run off without me, and what the fuck do I find you doing?! RUNNING OFF WITHOUT ME… AGAIN!"

Reaching down and painfully squeezing his face between her paws, Labareda put her face mere inches from his.

"Is this going to be a reoccurring issue Master?"

Andrew for the life of him knew she was his familiar, thus she was supposed to listen to him, but at this very moment, there was no one he feared more then Labareda. Not even his drill instructor instilled this much silent fear in his soul. Only lightly stammering, Andrew attempted to eke out a reply.

"Eh…ah…not to say… ah… no… no it won't."

For a moment, all she did was stare intently into his soul, her gaze almost unreadable past the quite anger. However, it gave way to sheer annoyance, and she let go of his face before hopping off of him.

"Somehow, I doubt you'll keep your word on the matter. So, we will compromise on the situation. I will simply follow you anywhere and everywhere you go at this point."

Working himself up to a sitting position while rubbing his sore chest, Andrew looked at her with a semi-confused expression.

"I don't really see how that's a compromise."

"Oh it is. It's a compromise between myself from either putting you on a literal short leash, or by letting you do as you wish. Cause you have proven to me that you are very good at putting yourself in terrible situations!"

Andrew felt that he should have said something about that, but at the same time, he really couldn't refute her given his current track record. Only staring for a moment longer before he simply shrugged his shoulders, Andrew only replied shortly.

"Fair point. I guess we'll do that then."

Lab looked at him for a moment, as if she didn't believe him one hundred percent right at that moment. She only did it for a short period of time though before she huffed.

"Good. Now that we have that all straightened out… what exactly is being talked about in secret here?"

Not one to wait, Serena divulged what had been discussed so far, though the familiar threw Morgana a very nasty look when Serena mentioned the part about offing her Master. At the explanations end, Labareda let out a deep grumble of sorts before she turned to her master (the both of them currently seated on one chair with Lab in Andrews lap.)

"Well, I was hoping that Unoma and I could train you a bit more before something like this could happen. But it appears that that idea has been stripped from our hands. However, even if we start training now, you have already been detected by those of a much higher power at this point. We'll need to do a lot to get you up to at least average level."

Andrew had the feeling that this is probably going to be his training from hell in the future, but he opted to put it on the back burner for the moment.

"I see… well, it is what it is at this point. By the way… how is Aruma?"

Labareda gave Andrew a bit of a complex look, like she wasn't sure if she should answer. However, she only let out a small sigh before she leaned into his chest.

"She's fine… for now."

Andrew didn't like that sound of that, and thus opted to expound on that discomfort by asking a question now needling in his mind.

"I don't like the latter half of that sentence. What do you mean."

"I mean that as she is, she will be fine. But the poor girl was already very drained of her mana when we found her. And saving your consciousness by pushing through a link only meant for familiar and master would be taxing for anybody even at full power. Needless to say, shes very weak. It doesn't help that the nature of her mana is divine, which makes recovery for her very hard outside of certain places. However, if we wait on her recovery then she might not wake up."

Andrew felt the concern wash over his face.

"Is there any way we can help her? Can I just… give her mana like I do for you and Unoma? I seem to have more then enough to spare."

At that, Andrew got a few looks of varying degrees from everyone in the room. Serena and Morgana where those of a disapproving gaze, Kanneth only looked amused, while Labareda only looked annoyed.

"As much as you are a pervert master, taking advantage of a young girl like that is hardly wholesome. Corruption should be done while one is awake for it."

Andrew only looked at her in an equally annoyed manner, though he didn't say anything. This allowed Labareda to continue.

"Anyway… it wouldn't work. The nature of your mana is vastly different in comparison to her own. You'd end up turning her into some kind of Mamono, especially since she is so low on her own power. I mean, if you're into that kind of thing then-"

"I get it. Don't do the loli cause it won't work. Geez… stop making such a big deal out of it…"

Andrew felt he was blushing more then he should have, but the amused look he was getting from Lab didn't make the blush go away any more quickly. However, Morgana clearing her throat caused everyone to to look at her.

"In any case… I think we have gone over what we can at this point… I also am starting to feel the roiling in my stomach again, and I feel the need to go lay back down. We'll continue any conversation on this issue tomorrow. For now, I would suggest you do what you can to figure out what issues you may have Andrew."

With that said, Morgana got to her feet and quickly made her way to the door, the sounds of quick foot steps turning into a running rhythm the moment she was out the door. Andrew had to give her props for being such a trooper despite her seasickness. He then brought his attention to Kanneth, the Hakutaku only smiling at him.

"I think we all could use some rest at this point. It's been a bit of a tiring day for everyone, though I do hope you can find some answer for your predicament Andrew. Feel free to ask me or the crew any questions if you want. I also will need to speak with you in regards to a few things tomorrow as well. Until then, try to rest well… also, Lady Labareda? Do you mind fixing my door on the way out seeing as you did break it."

Labareda had the decency to look just slightly sheepish about that before she promised that she would. With nothing else to say, Andrew and his group bid the captain farewell, and after getting the door fixed up, they began making their way back to the room. However, as the group did so, the sound of a voice calling out to them caught the groups attention. Turning to look, they saw Frida making her way toward them until she came to a stop in front of Andrew.

"Hey, what's up. Did you need something?"

Frida, who had called out, seemed to be stuck for words for a moment, one of her hands coming up to the back of her head as she seemed to look around as if to find the words she needed.

"Eh…Actually… maybe… not need something so much as… well… it's kinda hard to say… I'm not really the type for this kind of thing… but Fenella did say we should do this at some point during the trip… so…"

Andrew was a little confused by how she was acting, but he didn't question her or interrupt her train of thought. Frida herself brought her attention to him with a somewhat uncomfortable look on her face before she let out a low sigh.

"Well… no point in holding it off…"

With those words out of her mouth, she quickly stood ram-rod straight and bowed low to him.

"I wanna thank you for saving my life!"

Andrew, not really sure where this may have been coming from, only looked at her with a somewhat blank look on his face.

"Um… are you talking about saving the crew and the ship in particular or you individually."

Frida stood back up and looked at him straight on when she answered.

"Me in particular actually. The Dragon turtle was actually going to kill me at the time, and if you hadn't come in when you did, I would very much dead at this point. So… I wanted to thank you for that."

Andrew nodded at her as he came to understand the motives behind this. However, he couldn't help but sheepishly laugh a little.

"Well… I would say your welcome, but I don't really feel that it's all that appropriate since I ended up doing that when I wasn't even aware of it."

Serena let out a small huff before she lightly tapped Andrew on the shoulder.

"Well say it anyway even if you didn't mean to do so. IN case you forgot, she was one of the people who saw you like that in the first place. So I'm pretty sure she's quite aware of that."

Andrew only looked at Serena for a second, the words being oddly convincing for what they were. Turning back to Frida, Andrew mentally shrugged before he smiled at her.

"Well… You're welcome. I'm glad that even if it wasn't intentional, I ended up saving your life."

Frida smiled at home before practically jumped up right next to him and put a powerful arm around his shoulder, drawing him in close to her chest. In other words, a nice big hug.

"Likewise! And sorry if it seems like I wasn't really hospitable earlier. The way you where when you saved me and the sheer amount of power you had at the time left me really baffled and unsure of how to treat you. but I guess I was just being stupid about it!"

Not resisting the bare tits mashed into the side of his face, Andrew only smiled lewdly at his current predicament. However, Frida let him go quickly, forcing him to stand up straight again.

"Well, I kinda just wanted to get that off my chest. But I'm more then willing to give the ships hero a nice wet reward for his hard work."

Anybody in earshot pretty much knew what she was on about, earning an annoyed sigh from Serena while Labareda could only chuckle under her breath. Andrew for his part only smiled.

"You know I'll take you up on that offer at some point."

Frida smiled widely at the prospect of it and bid them farewell after that. With no more distractions on the deck to hamper the party, Andrew and the rest quickly made their way back downstairs and into the room they shared. Upon entering though, they where surprised to see that Unoma was awake and up, and oddly enough dressed in a different set of clothes then what she had on earlier. It was black in color, and if Andrew had to throw out what it looked like, he would compare it to something he would find in a sex related skyrim mod. The thing draped over her shoulders loosely with long sleeves that went well past her hands and had a very open front that went well to her navel, the side of her large breasts in view, but still remaining hidden enough to be called decent. The back was also her low cut, going down to about her mid-back. If he was tempted to, he could just pull on the loose shoulder section and the whole thing looks as if it would fall away to reveal her nudity. Even the lower half did little to hide her hips and leg.

Andrew felt his face scrunch up in concentration before he spouted something in a foreign language.

"Me Gusta."

Hearing the sounds of a voice, Unoma turned around to see that everyone was back. However, she didn't look all that happy when her eyes fell on Andrew.

"Ah… there you all are… we need to have a few words Dear Master."

Andrew could feel the emphasis on that one word, her irritation very evident.

"Um… I would like to mention that before you do anything, Lab has already seen fit to nearly knock me out with a flying clothesline. If you must physically abuse me to get your irritation out, please do it in a quiet manner so as not to wake up Aruma… also please be gentle about it."

Unoma looked to the demon familiar for a moment with a somewhat amused expression on her face. However, it was quickly brought back to him, though the sound of a familiar if not unexpected voice in the room caught everyone's attention.

"A flying what now? That sounds painful. You okay?"

Looking over, everyone saw that Sarya was currently sitting on the bed next to Aruma, the blonde angel still asleep. Andrew, getting over the initial surprise of seeing the elf, simply smiled at her.

"I'm good. I'm kinda used to such small amounts of physical abuse after all. Though on another note…"

Andrew left the very obvious question hanging in the air, though it would seem that Serena wasn't want to leave it as such.

"What are you doing in here?"

Sarya looked back to Aruma, a smile on her face.

"Coming to check up on Aruma actually. I hadn't heard anything about her for a while, so I thought I would come and see how she's doing. Sadly, it looks like she's still fast asleep."

Labareda nodded at the elf before the demonic familiar took a seat on the chair in the room.

"Sadly, she'll probably stay that way for a while. Something we are actually about to talk about amongst other things…"

Labareda's gaze fell on the elven archer, as if to tell the elf that this was something she wasn't meant to hear. However, Unoma spoke up in the womans defense surprisingly.

"We should be fine to talk about what we need with her in the room Lab. She's already privy to our Masters condition anyway, and I'm sure anything that was discussed with the mage will no doubt circulate to her party at this point. I also trust her a little more then the mage as well."

Labareda only looked to her former master with a super annoyed expression, however, she brought her attention back to Andrew, who had taken a seat next to Unoma on the couch the Dark Mage had been sitting on.

"Personally, the less ears we have on us the better in my opinion. But I'm willing to listen to master at this point, even if his choices have been very poor as of late."

Andrew had the sense to act slightly sheepish, but only nodded his head.

"I trust Sarya. And Unoma is right about Morgana anyway. Anything mentioned here will no doubt match up with what was said in the meeting earlier."

Lab let out a low sigh at that, but conceded to the point.

"Very well. If that's out of the way, then let's get to the meat of the issue, shall we?"

Andrew nodded in understanding before he sat back and waited for either of his familiars to begin. Not surprisingly, Labareda was the one to start.

"Alright then… lets go ahead and go over one of the bigger issues we currently face. That being the one with Aruma and the details involved with her recovery."

Andrew nodded in agreement, but he opted to pose a question.

"Like you said, the nature of her Mana is divine, thus why nobody seems able to help her… but I'm curious. What does that mean exactly? I wasn't aware of different kinds of mana. I thought it all fell under one big category."

Labareda waved her paw at him with a slight sigh.

"Common mistake for all first-time practitioners. Mana can actually be separated into hundreds of different categories, but for now, I'll just explain the difference for what would be considered the big three. Firstly, we have what humans would call normal mana. This mana would be what is considered the 'basic' form of mana. It comes from everything that's alive, humans, plants, animals, anything that breaths and lives exudes its own mana. Next we have divine mana, this mana is mostly found in divine creatures or gods, thus why we believe Aruma to be some kind of divine. Then we have Monster mana, the mana of creatures like orcs, goblins, werewolves, and oddly enough, creatures like me as well… and Unoma if we opted to count her in. Though originally, she wielded Normal mana like average humans. I take it her transformation has something to do with that."

Unoma nodded her head, the mage having already laid her head down onto Andrews lap.

"Yes. I give off Monster Mana now. It doesn't really affect me at all, but if I had to hazard a guess, It probably has something to do with what happened after the world had to be restructured. If anything, it's made spellcasting and manipulating mana to be much easier to me. So, yay for me."

Andrew only chuckled to himself as he reached down and gently stroked the woman's hair. Unoma sighed contently while Labareda only looked annoyed. Serena was simply conflicted about it again. Lab only pushed her annoyance aside as she continued explaining.

"Anyway… we'll get into what's what later on, but for now, lets focus on the recovery aspect of Mana. In regards to Normal mana for humans, that tends to recover naturally depending on the strength of the individual's life force. For monsters, they happen to have a larger amount then humans and have better control over it. But in exchange, they have a slower recovery rate then humans and other creatures. Divine mana is by far some of the strongest around and comes in massive quantities. However, it has by far the worst recovery rate of all three. Thus why a god or a divinity is hard pressed to do much in the realm of mortals. That recovery is dependent on the area they are in after all. They have to be in a place that radiates divinity to even start recovery, thus why they tend to stay in their home realms."

Andrew nodded his head as he started to get a bigger picture of what was being said.

"I see… and since Aruma's mana is of the divine category… she won't recover naturally unless we take her to someplace that exudes that mana, right?"

Unoma nodded her head.

"Correct Dear Master. However, seeing as myself and Lab have been gone for a good deal of time, we aren't really sure where we might find any places that would fit the bill or if the places we do recall are even here anymore."

Andrew nodded in some understanding, but at the same time, he couldn't help but question something. However, Serena seemed to have the same idea he did, and voiced that idea aloud.

"Couldn't we just take her to a church or something? Isn't that divine enough? I'm not one for religion… or I don't think I am, but I would think that would be enough."

Surprisingly, Sarya spoke up next, catching everyone's attention.

"It's not really the same per-se. It actually has a lot to do with the divinity itself. A church can function as a place of recovery for Aruma… but that depends on how strong the faith is in that particular church. The recovery rate would be even better if something like a divine revelation or a Hero anointing had taken place there. Even better if the god had actually visited that place. However, Gwent may have a few churches dedicated to a few gods, but I don't recall anything like what I was just describing happening there."

Andrew nodded in understanding.

"I see… so it wouldn't work in Gwent then… is there any place close we can try?"

Sarya thought about it for a moment, her eyes squinted in some thought as she tried to project in her mind a map of locations like what she had been talking about. However, she only looked somewhat annoyed at herself.

"I… really can't remember off the top of my head. Jonathan or Morgana would probably be better at recalling something like that then I would. Actually, if you give me a few minutes, I'll go ahead and see if I can pester our sickly mage enough for an answer. That or Jonathan if he's done with whatever he was doing above deck."

Andrew nodded at her and watched the elf make her way out the door, but not before she gave Aruma one gentle headpat. Watching her go, Andrew could only smile at the Elf's love of children. However, his attention was brought back to the group when Unoma picked herself up off of Andrews lap and looked at him with a serious gaze.

"I didn't think she would be leaving so soon, but now that she's out of here, lets go ahead and talk about one major issue that you have failed to mention in all of this Dear Master."

Being singled out all of a sudden, Andrew didn't really have a state of mind to reply to her, only being confused. However, Labareda let out a low sigh.

"Yes… so. Tell me master, how long have you been in contact with those six familiars of Oda's?"

It suddenly dawned on Andrew where this was about to go.

"Ah… Um… ever since I picked up the axe?"

Lab looked highly annoyed while Unoma let out a very weary sigh, the woman's shoulders slumping. Serena, who had been quiet throughout most of the conversation, only cocked her head to the side in some confusion.

"Six familiars? What are you on about? I thought you guys where his only… ah… familiars."

Unoma looked over at Serena, an explination already on her lips.

"No, we are familiars to Andrew. The contracts that Oda had with his own six familiars really don't count here. However, that's a bit of a magical mess as it is since technically, they are still bound to Oda, but Dear Master has Oda's power… so… it's a big pain to explain specifically. Just think of it as him having inherited a will of sorts."

"Ah, Actually Unoma, they listen to me they said… sorta. I'm kinda in a testing period with them right now to see if I'm good enough for them."

Labareda let out a small snort from her nose.

"ha! Is that what Leviathan told you?"

Andrew, curious, nodded in answer.

"Yeah. Why?"

Andrew was surprised when a scowl crossed her face.

"Leviathan is a slimy conniving worm who would word anything to sound advantageous to his contract holder. What he won't tell you are the small details about certain contracts like any demon would. So, was he the one who put you up to using that awful power?"

Andrew shook his head.

"No actually. It was Grendal who put me up to it. He said he wanted to test my fighting power against that the Longgue. He didn't tell me how to do that specifically outside of a very vague piece of advice going something like 'Better to feel Primal then think about it' or whatever he said."

Lab actually got angry at that.

"That piece of shit! He was trying to force you to go into an overloaded state! And it worked obviously!"

Unoma looked over at the familiar and waved her hand to quiet her down.

"Enough of that. Getting angry at this point does nothing. Though I can understand the anger."

Lab looked as if she wanted to fume some more, but she reigned it in. Bringing her full attention back to Andrew, she continued on.

"Very well…Other than Leviathan and Grendal, who else have you been in contact with?"

Andrew thought about it for a moment before he spoke up.

"Other than those two, Hati, Skol, and Hræsvelgr. I have yet to speak with Bahamut yet since the other five seemed terrified of him and didn't want to be around when I did."

"And for good reason Master. In the war many years ago Bahamut had only ever been used once. That thing is a mindless engine of destruction that didn't discern friend from foe. Only after it had razed half a continent was it finally pulled back. I think Oda didn't use it again because he wanted to try to rule something after the war."

Andrew felt very uncomfortable about hearing that, but the sound of Serena talking drove it away from him for the moment.

"Okay, so this bahmut thing sounds really dangerous, but I don't really know about the other ones you mentioned. Are they just as bad? And who are they?"

Labareda leaned back into the chair she was sitting in before she spoke up, though through a great deal of annoyance and anger.

"Oda's six Familiars are terrifying in their own right, but each of them individually are a monster. Leviathan is a great user of magic and very powerful by himself, but his main schtick is tricking others and using his intellect to win his fights. Grendal is basically a battle freak who loves to fight, fight, and fight some more. He's physically the strongest of the six of them behind Bahamut. Next are Hati and Skol. The both of them take the form of wolves, with Hati one who uses Ice and Skol using Hellflame. They always work together which makes them a real pain to deal with, especially since Hati is a cool sadist and Skol is a hotheaded brute who enjoys brutalizing his foes. Lastly we have Hræsvelgr. Nobody really knows much about him, but he uses wind and necromancy. He didn't partake in the warfront very much, but I get the feeling he's as taciturn as Leviathan is. Got all that? I could go on and on about all of them and how god fucking awful they are, but that's not the point of the current discussion. The current discussion being that you've been in contact with them at all."

At that last sentence, Labareda turned her attention back to Andrew, the little familiar looking highly annoyed. Andrew could only shrug his shoulders at her.

"What was I supposed to do? Leviathan came to me first, and I didn't want any surprise visits so I forced all of them to come out. We talked for a bit and then we had the thing with Grendal today. I tried to get in touch with them again about it, but they either can't hear me right now, or they are choosing to ignore me."

Unoma shook her head.

"They probably are choosing to ignore you right now considering whatever plan they had backfired. They won't try to get in touch with you again for a while. And when they do, block them out. Nothing good comes from associating with the likes of Oda's followers. Especially when they seem to be trying to force you to become the next world tyrant."

Andrew mentally could see what she was talking about, but another part of him didn't altogether agree with straight up blocking them out. Yes, they did force him into this situation, but he honestly should have been more attentive to the situation at the time. It also seemed silly to throw away an asset like that just because it seemed dangerous, he just needed to be much more careful of it was all. However, with how vehement they were being about the six, he only opted to sigh a bit.

"Alright, I'll do what I can. Though I will admit that even if they hadn't forced this situation on me, the fact that this could happen again only shows me that I need to have more training in regards to magic. You both have been doing what you can, but I think that trying to get used to my power would be the best way to get a handle on it."

Both of his familiars looked to each other with some discomfort on their faces. They knew he was right, but at the same time, it was still dangerous. Labareda let out a low sigh once again before she slumped in her chair.

"I feel you are right, but at the same time, I still feel we need to take it much more slowly. However, it seems we will need to put that on hold for the time being seeing as Sarya has returned."

Turning to look at the door, Andrew was a little surprised when he saw the handle turn and the mentioned elf walked through it with a bit of a complicated look on her face. Wanting to poke some fun in the situation due to how it had been nothing but serious talk, Andrew did as he planned.

"So did she puke at you for a few minutes before she gave you an answer."

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle a little bit at that. Sarya shrugged her shoulders.

"nah, she managed to hold her lunch down admirable. However, I'm not sure you'll like any of the info I'm about to give you."

Waiting for her to take a seat, that spot being next to Aruma again so she could check on the girl, Sarya directed her attention back to the group.

"So, I managed to get some info about holy spots that would be close and were powerful enough to give Aruma a speedy recovery. Thing is, not one of them is very close. And of all the places Morgana mentioned to me, only three of them stuck out to me as being the closest. The first is Mt. Corona up north, a mountain filled to the brim with the divine energy of the God of War. It was said that this place was struck by her weapon when she got into a fight with the Chief God. I thought this place would be good at first, but then I recall where the mountain is located at. It's in the Dragon Maw Ridge bordering Dragonia."

Andrew cocked his head to the side curiously.

"I'm curious about that name. Is Dragonia a land of Dragons or something? Cause it sounds like it would be full of dragons."

Sarya nodded her head at him.

"And you would be right. Dragonia is ruled by the Dragon Queen, though it's not quite that full of dragons seeing as many of them where killed in the war with Nobulax. Anymore you find salamanders, Lizardmen, Sahugain, and other scalies in its borders. However, Mt. Corona is located in the Dragon Maw Ridge north of Dragonia's borders. That's full of dragons of every type ranging from Mamono, to unaltered dragons. It is considered a very dangerous place, so not many people go there."

Labareda simply huffed smugly.

"I would only be worried if it was a Great Wyrm category of dragon. But that's just one of the places you've mentioned. What's another one you have?"

Sarya nodded in understanding before she spoke up.

"Well. The next place I would sorta kinda maybe recommend would be the holy capital itself. The Grand cathedral there is said to have been blessed by the chief god herself and has had many heroes anointed there along with a whole bunch of divine revelations. Problem is that it would take you a month and a half to get there. Not only that… but given what kind of power you have Andrew, and I don't think you would even be able to get close before someone wanted to kill you."

Unoma shook her head.

"Yeah, that one is out of the question. What's the last one."

Sarya sighed.

"Yeah, I figured you wouldn't go with that one. Well, that just leaves the Elven temple of Aur-Iotl, the elven god of light. Its located in the elven country not to far from Gwent. Only problem is that outside of some very very special circumstances, no human is allowed in the temple."

Unoma sighed at that.

"Ah, the elven land of Trinimoc… yeah. That's also a no go unless you wanted to try sneaking in. and I wouldn't suggest that."

Andrew looked between the two of them before he turned his attention Aruma, a less then pleased expression on his face.

"So our only real options are to go to a dragon infested mountain range, a holy city that would execute me the moment I walk into it, or a country that's xenophobic of humans getting into it's holy land. Are you sure you can't think of anything else that might work?"

Sarya only shook her head at him.

"Yeah. The Holy country is almost two Months Travel from Gwent, Trinimoc is a month and a half, and Dragonia is a month to three weeks. Any place else with holy points as powerful as those three would take even longer then those to get to."

Andrew only let out a low sigh before he leaned back into the couch, his face directed at the ceiling.

"Not a lot of good choices… but with the information presented, all I can say about our current course would be to head to Dragonia."

Labareda also let out a low sigh.

"I also concur… unless you wanted to turn Aruma from a divine being into one of corruption and just save us a trip."

Both serena and Sarya gave Lab a very chastising look, though the familiar didn't seem t care about it. Andrew could only shake his head at her.

"Lets not shall we? But in any case, we should probably find out what we can about Dragonia along with the Dragon Maw Ridge. Got anything for us sarya?"

The elf only shook her head at him.

"Fraid not. I haven't been to dragonia before myself sadly. None of our missions or jobs ever took us that way, so you would be on your own in regards to that. Would Unoma or Labareda know anything about it?"

Both of the familiars thought about it for a moment before they replied.

"Nope. Doesn't ring a bell sadly."

"I have about the same answer as Unoma in that regard."

Andrew only shrugged his shoulders, not really expecting either of his familiars to be able to answer.

"It is what it is. When we get to Gwent, we'll see what we can find out."

Everyone in the group, save for Sarya, nodded in agreement. It was easy to see that the long discussion had come to an end, something Andrew was grateful for seeing as he was starting to feel a little restless from all the sleeping and sitting he had done today. Letting a small sigh escape his nose, Andrew got to his feet.

"Well, since we got all of that out of the way, I think I'm going to go for a short walk. I'm itching to stretch my legs."

Labareda gave him a certain look, one he quickly picked up on.

"Aaaaaand I don't think I'll be going alone. mind coming with me Lab?"

With an approving smile on her face, the red-haired demon also stood up.

"But of course. Wouldn't want you getting into trouble again now would I?"

Letting a short and sheepish laughter come from his mouth, Andrew turned his attention to the other two of his party.

"You guys want to come along as well?"

Serena only shook her head.

"Nah, I think I'm good. Someone should stay here and keep an eye on Aruma in case she wakes up."

Unoma herself nodded in agreement.

"I will also be staying here in the event of Aruma waking up. Her body will naturally force her awake every once in a while, and it would be best to take care of her during those short awakenings."

Andrew nodded in understanding at them both.

"Alright then… I won't be gone very long, so call for me if you need anything from me or Labareda."

Both of them simply responded with a 'will do' before Andrew made his way back out of the door with Labareda in tow. As they continued to walk, Lab opted to speak up as they made their way down the hall.

"So, what are you planning to do on this supposed 'walk' of yours master?"

Andrew looked back at Labareda, a small smile on his face.

"Eh, nothing much. Just walk a bit, take in some sights, maybe get a little friendly with the crew, maybe talk with the captain about this or that. Who knows, I'll just let things happen as they happen."

Lab only let a huff escape her lips, but she had a feeling that she knew where this little venture would lead.

"Quite insatiable aren't you Master."

Andrew didn't say anything after that, though he couldn't help but chuckle under his breath as he made his way up the stairs. Having made their way back out onto the deck, Andrew was a little surprised to see that there was nobody up here. However, the sun having dipped below the horizon and the darkness of the night creeping into the sky indicated that he had been talking with his party for a little while, so he could only guess that most of them had either gone to the crew quarters, or were doing something else with there spare time. Making his way to the starboard side, Andrew decided to see if he could catch a glimpse of the Dragon Turtle he had slain. Such was the case when he saw the shell of the beast behind the boat along with one of its large clawed fins. He couldn't help but admire the size of it while also wondering how he had the strength to kill such a beast by himself. His view was disturbed when Labareda hopped up on the railing directly in his view and looked back at the turtle herself. She then let out a low whistle as she turned to look back at her Master, a big grin on her face.

"Though you were out of it when you did that, I will admit that your level of physical strength is nothing to sneeze at master. Granted I could have done the same thing had you simply called for me. However, I suppose you are right when you said you need more magical training in order to control this power you have. I can only imagine the bruise's I would suffer if you were to fuck me with such strength unabated."

Andrew chuckled a little at the joking tone she said that in, but his inner mind did worry about it on a more realistic scale.

"Will I be able to actually control such power?"

"Eventually. It will take some time and some severe amounts of training, but we should get you to a manageable level before it gets too out of hand. However, just as was mentioned in the meeting, Unoma and I will need to put all of our efforts into teaching you to suppress yourself to a minimalist level. Thankfully the captain made mention that with the addition of your kill, the boat's load-out will hamper our progress to Gwent by a day and a half. Meaning we will be looking at a three-day boat ride. Maybe four if something else happens. Plenty of time to teach you how to fully suppress yourself."

The only male on deck simply nodded at her before he turned his attention out to the vast ocean expanse in front of him, the first twinkling of stars on the darkened horizon indicating that night would soon fall. The heavy beating of wings above him distracted him though, causing him to look up to see the familiar white plumage of Tannath above him as she descended to the deck behind them. Smiling at her as she landed, Andrew raised his hand in greeting.

"Hey there Tan. Still hard at work?"

Tannath shook her head at him.

"I actually just got done with my last round for the rest of the night. Once the rest of the crew gets done placing wards on the Dragon Turtle corpse and the ship, we will all be retiring for the evening. It's been a hectic day so far, so everyone I think will need the rest. Especially since our progress will slow down due to the haul we have currently."

Labareda nodded in understanding before she hopped off the railing.

"Makes sense. It has been an interesting day for everyone today. Though I do hope this delay won't cause any issues for you or the captain."

Tannath simply shook her head before she made her way to the side of the boat, her eyes scanning out into the horizon for any last-minute changes in the scenery.

"Not at all. More then anything this should help us out a lot. I think the captain will want to barter with you tomorrow about the Dragon turtle since you killing it makes it yours to do with as you please."

Andrew wasn't necessarily surprised when he heard that, but that only gave him another thing to think about in regards to this trip. He didn't try to think about it too deeply though since he figured that kind of thing would best be saved for tomorrow. The sound of the harpy next to him caused him to bring his attention outward though.

"So, what are the two of you doing out here? I figured you would want to be sleeping at this point."

Andrew only shrugged his shoulders.

"Hard to do that when all I've done today is sleep. I'll probably need to do something about it though since it's been messing with my sleep schedule as of late. In answer to the question though, we just felt like wandering around in hopes of something interesting happening. Though if nothing happens, Lab and I will more then likely just head back down to the room and test our luck with sleeping."

Tannath looked between the two of them for a moment before she diverted her gaze elsewhere.

"I see… something happening huh…"

At the mention of that, Andrew couldn't help but try to pay a little more attention to her, the harpy's face forward and toward the ocean, but her eyes peeking at him from the corner of her vision. Andrew observed her for a moment, watching her meticulously as she leaned against the railing with her wings, her ass straight out and her back curved just in the right way for this simple leaning pose to look just a little too seductive to be unintentional. Walking up next to her, but staying away from the railing, Andrew brought his attention to the long tribal skirt she wore. Going off of memory, Andrew couldn't help but point it out.

"Sorry if this seems like an invasive question, but I couldn't help but notice a few things about you and the crew Tannath."

Her 'attention' still focused on the open ocean, Tannath response shortly.

"About what?"

"Well, I'm curious about why most of the crew wears those tribal looking skirts of yours. Most of the crew seems to have them save for Imh'ege and the captain herself. Not only that, but everyone seems to go topless around here. Except for the Captain of course."

Tannath, having 'finished' her inspection of the ocean, turned to look at Andrew, her wings held out and away from her body to show off her exposed upper half and covered lower half.

"This? The skirts are actually kinda like a uniform for the crew. The captain made them herself, having imbued them with magical capabilities. As for why most of the crew goes topless… well…"

Tan put her wing tips up to her small breasts and lightly pushed them together, a small but lewd smile on her face as she did.

"Hard to show them off when you have them hidden. In town we cover ourselves sure. But out here on the open water, we hope to get lucky with any sexually frustrated men."

The intentions couldn't have been anymore clear with that statement, something both Andrew and Labareda were quick to notice. Lab herself actually coming into view and examine the girls body for herself.

"Oh-ho… Master, I can't help but think that she might be insinuating something."

Andrew, feigning some Ignorance, couldn't help but look at his familiar with some mock confusion.

"Really? I would never have figured Lab. Since you are so much more learned then I am, would you mind pointing out what it is she might be hinting at?"

Lab, trying not to giggle madly at the silliness of they game they where playing, walked back behind Tannath, the Harpy growing somewhat flushed with embarrassment and hints of excitement. Once there, the demonic familiar gently brought her hands around Tan's waist, the soft and velvety pads of her paws moving their way across the harpy's sides.

"I do believe she wants someone to touch her Master. To gently feel and caress the skin of her body, to perhaps do something… indecent. Am I wrong?"

Tannath looked over her shoulder at Lab for a moment before she turned her attention back to Andrew, a small but sheepish smile on her face.

"Subtly is generally the better part of discretion you know. It makes me feel embarrassed when you point it out like so…"

Coming closer, Andrew couldn't help but smile at the harpy.

"True, but my group doesn't like to beat around the bush. Of course, I also did promise you that I would come and see you after all."

Lab peeked around the side of Tan, the girl's paws coming to rest on the harpy's hips with a pity expression on the Familiars face.

"All these promises of sex and not one made to me in the same category. I feel slightly cheated Master."

Andrew placed his hand's on top of Labs paws.

"True, but at the same time, you and Unoma I see all the time. I'll only see the crew of the blissful tide for a few more days at most. So, I feel it would be best to prioritize the limited meetings. Don't you agree Tannath?"

At that, Andrew moved his hands off of Labs paws and moved his hands up around Tannaths bust, his hands having not forgotten the feeling of her breasts from earlier that day. The harpy kept her face somewhat still, but at the same time, the blush on her face couldn't really be ignored.

"Maybe… depends really… but I don't mind regardless…"

Despite the vague answer, Andrew couldn't help but smile at her. Having his hands placed on the Harpies mediocre breasts, Andrew opted to squeeze them gently, the small sound coming from Tans mouth doing wonders for Andrews sexual excitement. Not one to keep himself waiting for very long, Andrew moved himself much closer to Tanneth, his head moving closer to the cusp of her neck. Not one to act like a pervert, Andrew gently smelled of her scent, the harpy giving off the faint aroma of the sea, along with the much stronger scent of the sun.

"You know Tan… I find it a little amazing that despite being a sea faring person, your skin isn't as bronze colored as I would have expected."

Finishing his thought, Andrew brought his lips to the harpy's neck and gently kissed it, the Girl letting at a slightly startled squeak. However, she quickly regained her composure a moment later to answer his question.

"I'm not really sure of the reason, but the captain said it has something to do with my heritage as an albatross harpy… I don't mind though… ah!"

A small and sudden gasp came from her mouth, but not due to something Andrew had done. Andrew was gently kissing her neck and her cheeks, the feeling she had came from lower down close to her thighs. Chancing a look, she saw that the red-haired demon familiar was busy running a furry paw across her legs as if to inspect them. Noticing her gaze with a sly grin, the familiar only looked up at the harpy.

"Sorry, don't mean to interrupt you or anything. Just utterly fascinated by your harpy physiology is all. Been curious since the last time a saw a real harpy was almost fourteen hundred years ago. Hope you don't mind me getting a… closer look."

Andrew could tell what Lab was up to, but he opted not to stop her, Tan obviously going to say something if she was really bothered by the Familiars prodding. Tannath for her part simply shook her head at the familiar, though she didn't have much time to focus on her anymore when Andrews face came up and brought his lips to hers, the feeling of his fingers massaging her small breasts only enhancing her growing libido. While Andrew was busy up top, Labareda got to work down below, the familiar gently running her silky soft paws across the white harpies smooth and toned legs. However, her real prize would be located under the tribal skirt she wore. Thankfully this was easy to get around when she noticed the easily accessible slit up the right side. Working her way into the skirt itself, Labareda was happy to see that the harpy wore virtually nothing underneath, some slight moisture beginning to accumulate around the puffy mound indicating that Andrew was doing his job up top.

Smiling to herself, Lab spoke up.

"Well, this is a surprise. Do all of your crew go commando under these skirts dear?"

Andrew pulled away a little from his kiss with the harpy, the girl taking a moment to understand what she had heard.

"Ah… y-yeah… we don't… even the captain under that cheongsam of hers doesn't wear any kind of panties… easier access…"

With the question answered, Tannath moved her face back to Andrews, the harpy wanting to be on the offensive here this time, only this time with some added tongue. Andrew couldn't say that he had been expecting it, but it had been pleasant to feel regardless, the feeling of her tongue in his mouth as he began to move his around with her own. He couldn't say that he was expecting the level of precision she had as well, the way she seemed to masterfully dominate his mouth a clear indication that she had experience, and plenty of it. He would readily admit that had this been a one on one kissing match, he would most certainly lose, but thankfully, he wasn't alone in assaulting a pair of lips. Tan, having momentarily forgotten the presence of another body, felt her eyes spring open and a slight gasp come from her mouth as she felt something enter her lower lips.

Labareda, who's tongue was now currently playing a game of its own in the snatch of the bird, could only chuckle to herself at Tannath's sudden moan. This left Andrew with a weakened bird at his mercy, allowing him to renew his kiss with her, though he opted to bring himself in close and bring her into a sensual embrace. Labareda only continued to work her tongue across the girl's pussy, her mouth seemingly knowing what places to properly lick, nibble, and suck. Tannath was entirely at the mercy of the two, her body doing what it could for her to put up some kind of resistance, but only failing when Andrew and Labareda's sexual stimulation renewed itself. Needless to say, with all of that going on, it didn't take very long for Tannath to reach climax, the feeling of her body clenching informing both of her partners that she had hit peak. Andrew and Labareda stopped what they where doing, Lab moving out from under the skirt while Andrew held Tannath so as to stop her from collapsing. It didn't last more then a few moments, but Tannath felt the glow on her body along with the waves of sexual bliss rolling from her loins, her body coming to relax against Andrews. However…

"I don't feel that fulfilled yet…"

Curious about what she just said, Andrew watched her raise her head to look up at him, the glow quickly fading from her body.

"I want you to do more to me."

Humming in some amusement, Andrew looked to Labareda. The demon only smiled lewdly as she licked her moist lips.

"Why not give her what she wants master?"

Andrew figured that would be her answer, but he also felt that he had to ask another question.

"Don't want to join in yourself?"

Labareda only chuckled as she walked over to the railing, leaning against it as she looked at the two in front of her.

"Maybe in a while. I'm a bit of a voyeur truth be told, so I think I'll just watch you until I feel like it."

Andrew simply shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't actually find that surprising… but have it your way."

Turning his attention back to Tannath, Andrew saw the eagerness in her face, an eagerness he no doubt shared as well.

"Hope you don't mind being watched seeing as we are about to have an audience."

Tannath only smiled as she pulled away from him, her wing coming down to her waist and undoing the knot that held her skirt up.

"I won't mind it at all."

Andrew drank in her appearance the moment that skirt hit the floor, her body boldly exposed to not only Andrews gaze, but to Labareda's as well. It was easy to see Labs handy work from before on Tans pussy, the mound wet and somewhat dripping with feminine fluid that rolled down her inner thighs. Andrew felt his pants tightening at the sight in front of him, his cock starting to pitch a very impressive tent in his loose pants. Tannath eyes fell on the bulge down below and couldn't help but let out an enthusiastic gasp. Andrew didn't waste any time upon seeing her expression and undid the knot that kept his own lower body wear up, the thing falling to the ground and exposing his erect cock. Tans eyes where almost as wide as saucer plates at this point.

"Ahhhh, I don't see dicks that big very often… let alone take one so thick in me."

Looking down, Andrew could only mentally take in his own dick at this point. Now he was sure that some magic shenanigans where at play, his dick being even bigger then the last time he had used it for sex. His attention fell to Lab, a questioning look in his eyes followed by one out of his mouth.

"You wouldn't happen to be responsible for my sons growth spurt would you?"

Labareda let out a low chuckle as she taped her chin knowingly.

"Partially. But Unoma is your biggest culprit in this by far. She likes them very large, though I also have added to it as well. Does it displease you?"

Andrew couldn't say anything about being displeased, his original size actually being under average in modern society.

"Not at all… just not used to it is all…"

The feeling of something suddenly enveloping his dick caused him to turn back to look at Tan currently performing intercrural, the slick feeling of her pussy juices along with her thick thighs feeling quite heavenly.

"Well… let me help you get used to it then… I pride myself on my legs after all…"

Without another word, Tan simply started rocking herself back and forth, the soft yet firm feeling of her inner legs along with the slick wetness of her pussy juices making it feel as if Andrew was actually having sex with her. The wet sounds of skin sliding together aroused both recipients, Tans slow and methodical back and forth combining into a mutual masturbation between both of them. Despite this heavenly feeling, Andrew felt that he should stand idle, not while Tannath stood in front of him with her nude body on display. Not wasting a second to more idleness, Andrew brought both of his hands up to grasp both of her small yet perky breasts, his hands going to town on fondling them to his delight. Tannath let out a low moan as she continued to stimulate her pussy with Andrews cock, the feeling of his hands sinking and palming her breasts causing her body to tingle delightfully.

"You… ah…. You sure seem to like my breasts… do you like them small?"

Andrew gently leaned down and nibbled on one of her tits, the girl letting out a delightfully cute sound.

"Truth be told? I have a wide strike range. It mostly depends on my mood. And I'm currently in the mood for some harpy breasts."

Andrew nibbled once again, getting a repeat of earlier, however, He could feel his loins starting to reach his limit, the girls' thighs masterfully working his large cock. Keeping his hands busy, Andrew started to thrust along with Tans rubbing, his pace quickening as he felt the need to spread his seed on her legs. Tan could feel his pace picking up quickly along with the straining of his cock as it was ready to blow its white load. She didn't want it wasted on the outside of her body though. Stopping her motions, and put her wings around him in a hug only a large harpy breed could. Andrew, who was slightly confused about his lack of pace, looked down to see Tannath looking up at him.

"I would love to keep this up, but I personally think your spunk has a better place to go then on the deck don't you think?"

Still lust hazed, Andrew wasn't sure what she was on about, his body really wanting an outlet for his pent-up lust. Tannath moved herself away from him and went to the railing of the ship, placing her wings against the hard wood as she bent herself over the edge and exposed her dripping cunt to him, her ass enticing in its shape.

"I think this would be a much better place to put it, wouldn't you agree?"

The eagerness of her tone couldn't have been missed by even the densest of shounen protagonists, and Andrew considered himself far from dense. Smiling to himself, Andrew stepped up behind her, the length of his shaft sliding up between her ass cheeks while his hands came to rest on her hips. Not wanting to wait another second with idleness, Tannath enticingly wiggled her butt up and down, her asscheeks doing a good job of stroking Andrews girth member. Getting the point, Andrew let his lewd smile get wider as he pulled back a bit, carefully aligning himself with the wet snatch of the bird in front of him. Pressing his cock head against the the wet opening, Andrew gently pushed against it, testing the limits of her sex, and also to tease and maybe slightly torment Tannath.

The Harpy herself could feel the rounded shape of his cock against her slit, but not the penetration she so sought for in this situation. As if to alleviate this, she tried to gently push herself onto him, but much to her vexation, he would pull back enough so as not to fully penetrate her. She could only let out a sexually frustrate groan as she started to get a little more desperate by trying to push back a little more forcefully, this came to no avail though. The grin on Andrews face was close to sadistic at this point, though thankfully, Labareda came to Tannath rescue.

"Oh stop teasing her master. Doing any more then that and you're just being cruel. I would also like to get off at some point as well."

Laughing a little sheepishly, Andrew turned his attention back to Tannath. Running his hands up from her thighs and around her body, Andrew leaned down onto her, though not to the point where she was holding his weight. Gently kissing the side of her neck, Andrew whispered sweetly into her ear.

"Sorry. Let me treat you more appropriately…"

Nibbling her neck, Andrew slowly began to sink himself into her body, the feeling of his dick finally entering her leaving Tannath almost dizzy with glee. It was sensually slow, and painfully pleasurable for her as she felt every inch of his cock sinking into her body, the tightness of her inner walls doing nothing to stop the progress.

"Ahhh…ahhhhhhhhhhh…"

She couldn't form coherent words, her body fully occupied with the sensation of a dick in her body after so long. Andrew was quite a bit more composed compared to her though, though that was probably in part due to him not just shoving himself in right at the start like he had been doing. Even still though, every time he stuck his dick into another Mamono, it was like he was a virgin all over again, the sensation almost feeling brand new with each new girl he lay with. It took a few more slow and hazy seconds, but he eventually managed to fit the entirety of his cock into her pussy, the harpy shaky with delight and her eyes unfocused. Bringing his hands under her, Andrew gently cupped her breasts again and gave her small nipples a gentle tug to draw her attention back to him.

"The fun's just about to start, don't go limp on me now okay?"

Tannath couldn't get words out, but a simple nod of her head followed by low intake of breath was her response. That was all Andrew needed to begin.

Lab, who had simply watched all of it unfold, had to admit that the slowness of Andrews pace at first was incredibly sexy to her. The almost infuriating slowness matched with the feeling of every inch of cock moving along inside oneself… Lab was used to the quickness, the feverish speed, but the slowness and tenderness that her master exhibited would have left her a begging mess if he so ordain to do so with her. Even watching now, as he would slowly draw himself back out, and push himself back in with the same deliberate slowness left her paws on her pussy and trying to emulate what she was witnessing. If she didn't have better self control, Lab was sure she would have been on him already and trying to get him to fuck her in such a manner… maybe when it was just her and Andrew though.

Tannath though was currently in the middle of what she had to have considered one of the must sexually torturous sessions of her life. It was slow, but each inch slowly going in and out of her left her weak-kneed and almost mewling at the tenderness of Andrews touch. Her mouth was open and she was panting, she wanted him to go faster and to ravage her, but she couldn't get it out, her body to enraptured by this feeling to even try.

Even for Andrew though, this was unbearable. If he had been going quick, he would have felt his dick pounding into her, yes, but with the slowness he was going with, it was like one incredibly long stroke, every inch of her walls squeezing on him, every little fold in her pussy passing on his sensitive head. He had initially wanted to try being slow since he almost blew his load every time he tried going quickly, but this would finish him off perhaps even more quickly.

Quite the sexual irony in of itself. Thankfully he wasn't the only one who was feeling the effects of this slow and sensual sex, Tannath pretty much at the same point he was at. It only took one more slow insertion for the both of them to feel the electricity run through their bodies, Andrews white seed pasting itself along the walls of Tannath shivering pussy and into her trembling womb. For the next few moments, they simply stayed there, Andrew clinging tightly to the harpy in his arms while Tannath could only tighten her whole body from the pleasure, her talons actually digging out the wood from under her feet. Eventually it came to an end, Andrew and Tannath coming to the ground in something of a heap, though Andrew had the presence of mind to keep Tannath close when he sat down, pretty much putting her in his lap.

Lab had managed to schlick herself to orgasm, though she felt somewhat empty due to the lack of either dick or cum in her body. However, she wasn't about to let it get to her, the familiar walking up next to the panting and sweating pair.

"Well… I'm not used to seeing someone get off on slow sex, but there is a first for everything in a life as long as mine."

Andrew only looked her way for a moment before he gave her a smile.

"Well, maybe I'll show you what it feels like myself… but first, I gotta recover."

Tannath, having started to recover, turned her self to look at him, her face flush with her previous lust and maybe with a bit of embarrassment, though the smile on her face was unmistakable.

"Um… Andrew… that was… really good… I feel like I could addicted to that… thank you…"

Seeing the cute smile on her face, Andrew chuckled a little before he leaned in and gave her a faint kiss on those lips of hers, the harpy being startled more then she had throughout sex with him.

"Not a problem, and thank you for putting up with my selfishness."

"I hope you have a bit more of that selfishness in you, cause there ain't no way that me and the rest of the girls are walking off after seeing all of that!"

Startled, Andrew and the other two mamono turned to see that Frida, Fenella, and Silque where standing not to far away, all of them obviously aroused in varying manners. Frida looked ready to pounce on them at a moments notice, Fenella had the decency to look somewhat embarrassed about peeping, and Silque only looked jealous. Labareda was the first to speak up.

"How long have you all been standing there I wonder."

Silque answered her with some excitement.

"Since when Tan started shaking her ass at him. Are you ready to do me now? Wanna do all of us!?"

Andrew could see that he wasn't getting out of this, all of the girls looking way to horny to even think of not doing it. Letting out a small sigh, Andrew simply shrugged his shoulders.

"Well… I guess I slept more then enough today anyway…"

---

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I hope you enjoyed it! as for why the scene ends as it does, trying to write up a large fivesome is tiring in of itself, I'll try to write it up later, but maybe as a kind of side chapter. Stay tuned for more, I may have just gotten started on the next chapter, but my starts are always the strongest!
