Adam and Val meet the mysterious explorer's guild and discover more about this new world


Val lied on a bathtub, the events of the previous day replaying on her mind. Everything seemed like some stupid dream, but then she opened her eyes and saw the unpleasant truth. She wanted to stay there forever in the warm embrace of the water. One event however crossed her mind, the two lascerians fucking in the middle of the street, not caring if anyone saw them surrendering to their animal instincts as if it was nothing. A heat crossed her bslly again, despite the surreal scene she found it fascinating.

"I'm getting crazy." She said trying to clean her mind. She allowed her body to sink into the water, it was a public bath inside the building. Luckily no one was here and Ali and Zaubria were busy. She heard someone enter. It was Adam.

"Oh I thought this was the male's bathroom." Said Adam with shame.

"Adam I don't think they have that."

"What?"

"Separated bathrooms I mean. You saw them they mate in public, go around naked or half naked, I doubt they are as demure as humans."

"Oh, well, yeah..."

Adam seemed lost for a second until Val spoke.

"Come here, it's not like we haven't bathed together before."

Adam entered the tub and relaxed.

"I just thought you may want to relax alone you know."

"Right now you are the only familiar thing I have."

She sighed tired, then placed her head on his shoulder seeking support.

"How are we even gonna get out of this?" She asked tired.

"I don't know, but if we arrived here there must be a way back."

"What do you think about the scene on the city's entrance."

"Well it's strange and a bit uncomfortable." Said Adam somewhat taken by surprise "But as you said, they aren't human, we can only be tolerant. Did it affect you too much?"

"What do you mean?"

"You spent more than a minute frozen in place watching them until I pulled you out."

"Well." Said Val embarrassed "It took me by surprise."

"Oh good I thought you now had a thing for reptiles." Said Adam joking.

"I-I d-don't..." Said Val blushing "But it's still impressive. Let's stop with this, it feels weird."

"Well then we have some time alone." Said Adam suggestive pulling her closer, the heat crossed Val's belly again, this time for a reason she could accept.

"Oh so what are you suggesting?" Said Val giggling.

"Weeell..." Adam pulled her face into a kiss, Val circled his head with her arms resting her body over his, she rested her breasts over his chest in an attemot to arouse him, which clearly worked since the tip of his sex raised pushing against her right tight. Val giggled playful and broke the kiss, with a naughty smile she straddled Adam's pelvis, slowly letting his sex touch hers.

With slow sensual movements Val rubbed her lips against his glans, Adam placed his hands over her hips. Val's labia dripped covering his rod and lubricating it, then she finally lowered her body, Adam moaned when his member's head entered her folds, the warm soft sensation too much to resist. With a cry Val dropped her body over him, letting his sex enter all at once, she stood quiet a moment enjoying thevsensation of being full, then she started moving, up and down, up and down. Adam's hands crawled towards her breasts, despite being average in size they had a perfect tearshaped form and were very soft and delicious to the touch.

Val moved slowly, allowing her husband to get close to orgasm before slowing and denying him the climax, Adam groaned when she stopped but continued thrusting into her. Val repeated the process giggling each time she denied Adam fulfilment, his sex becoming more and more sensitive each time, taking less and less time to get him close to his release. Adam slowly caressed her body, appreciating every detail with his hands as if she was a piece of fine art, yet his hands became more eager and clumsy each time he was denied his orgasm.

Finally Val reached her limit as her pussy was too becoming sensitive and longed for release. With a series of fast movements of her hips Val brought both of them to blissful release, their cries of pleasure filled the room. Exhausted Val fell onto Adam's chest savouring her afterglow with a smile.

"Wow, that was really hot!" Val jumped and cried startled recognizing Ali's voice.

She turned to see Kalios, Zaubria and Ali in the bath's gate. The lascerians walked towards them as if nothing happened their torsos covered by some towels only. Meanwhile the humans blushed in shame, with Val trying to hide her nakedness.

Zaubria noticed their discomfort and asked.

"Is there something wrong? Did we startle you that much?"

Adam was the first to recompose himself and said with some embarrassment.

"Uh oh, no, it's just... well in our world these things are... well private, you know..."

The lascerians were puzzled by his words.

"Eh you mean mating is a private thing for your kind?" Asked Ali unsure of whst she was asking.

"Ah... yes..." Said Adam.

The lascerians now seemed more baffled, the humans had taken towels to cover themselves. The reptiles looked at each other as if expecting an answer on what to do. Kalios spoke.

"I think it's better if we leave, clearly their customs are foreign to us and our customs may cause them discomfort."

"But we need to tell them about the guildmaster's orders." Said Ali.

"I think that can wait..." Said Kalios

"Wait, what orders?" Asked Adam slightly worried.

"The guildmaster wants to meet you." Answered Zaubria "He seemed very interested in you, he even declared this could be the biggest discovery of the guild in centuries!"

Both humans looked at each other worried.

"Are we... are we sure the guildmaster can be trusted?" Asked Val with a hint of fear.

"Yes, totally, I know you are scared and distrustful, but he's far from an evil person." Said Zaubria.

"Also he decides if you can join us, and the guild is your best bet if you want to remain safe." Declared Kalios serious.

Adam sighed, Val circled his torso with her arms trying to comfort him.

"Guess there's no other way." Said Adam resigned.

"Ahm." Said Ali "So you still want us to leave? I really hoped we could spend some time together, you know get to know each other."

Both humsns remembered they were caught having sex, their shame returning. Before they could act Zaubria spoke.

"I know you are not lascerian... but maybe you could just try some of our customs, if after that you still feel uncomfortable we can leave you alone. See bath time is the most important moment to socialize for lascerians as Ali said. I promise it will be fun!"

Both humans were wordless not knowing how to react, Vsl broke the silence.

"I... uhm think we can try, I suppose there's nothing wrong with just trying."

Adam looked at her unsure.

"Uh well if you want..."

Ali exclaimed.

"Yes! I swear it will be fun." Ali threw away her towel and entered the tub with the humans, Zaubria followed with a laugh Kalios was the only one to stay behind keeping his towel.

"I think I will wait until the azurekin are done." Said Kalios before leaving the room.

Val appreciated the bodies of the lascerian girls. Ali was slim but full of curves, her hips were wide, her legs long, sleek and rounded, her waist seemed too thin for her upper body creating a perfect hourglass figure, her breast were average in size but perfectly round, soft and firm, her crest was made of spikes connected by a membrane, it ran from her head to the tip of her tail, though it became smaller from her nape barely protruding from her back, the skin on her belly, the front area of her neck, her crotch and undertail was plain and soft made from large plates of a slightly clearer blue. Val saw the spikes of her crest move down folding her crest to the point were it was barely noticeable except on her head, Val understood this was a gesture of relaxation from Ali. Then she looked at Zaubria, in contrast with Ali Zaubria had thick limbs with marked muscle lines that shifted whenever she moved, showing the girl's power, her waist was thicker and held a pair of f cup sized breasts which stood firm defying gravity, her braid like protrusions looked like hair, but were made of a firmer leathery material and were five centimeters thick, their firmness made them look as if it was very fluffy hair, unlike Ali's crest these reached only to her upper back, her skin had a color pattern that reminded Val of a zebra but with wavier lines, her skin was more leathery than scaly and its softness was very inviting, Val had to resist the urge to touch her, the only thing she shared with Ali were her wide curvy hips.

Val felt a moment of insecurity, were all lascerian girls this hot? She thought about the beauty standards of her world and how easily they were achieved by lascerians. Both girls entered the tub and relaxed.

"So why is your kind so shy about mating? I'm curious." Asked Ali smiling.

"Well it's thought of as something private that others shouldn't see, also historically it's has been seen as indescent." Answered Adam trying to avoid looking at Ali's exposed bosom.

The lascerians seemed baffled.

"Indescent?" Asked Zaubria "Why? It's how we are born and something that brings us joy, what could be indescent sbout that?"

"Well." Said Val trying to help Adam "Because it produces pleasure a lot of people, especially religious people, see it as a vice or something only meant to procreate."

Both lascerians looked at each other confused.

"Your kind has really weird ideas." Said Zaubria.

The humans didn't know what else to say, having their culture scrutinized was uncomfortable at best especially given the subject. Zaubria continued.

"We got to watch a good chunk of you two mating." Adam and Val blushed awkwardly "Oh please, don't feel bad, as Ali said you two were really hot, we were at the gate watching, the love you had for each other and the way you dedicated yourselves to pleasing each other was really beautiful."

The humans now blushed more, Val's mind was thorn between shame and a warm pleasure on her belly feeling flattered.

"Yeah, it was amazing, I had to resist the urge to touch myself." Said Ali slightly aroused "I'm still a virgin, but your mating was the sexiest thing I have seen."

The humans were speechless, as strange and embarrassing as the situation was the openess and kindness the lascerian showed them was, comforting? A part of them liked this mix of kindness and awkwardness.

"We... don't want to press you more than needed and I think we have troubled you enough as it is, but you should keep an open mind to our world, I think it can be fun for you." Said Zaubria "Now we should actually take a bath, the guildmaster will want to see us soon. Would you like to see how lascerians take baths?"

Val unsure but curious said.

"Uhm yeah why not?"

"Ali let's show them."

"Yes Zaubria."

Both lascerians stood and took a pair of sponges and soaps, the lascerians' eyes crossed and they smiled, the humans looked with full attention. Both lascerian girls hugged and rubbed the soaps on each others back making soft moans of pleasure as they rubbed and tightly hugged each other, once their backs were covered in soap, their hands moved down to their butts, their hungry fingers sank in their fleshy buttocks kneading the soft flesh, once they finished they separated and proceeded to wash their fronts. The lascerians gently caressed esch other spreading the foam over the breasts and vhest of the other, their moans intensified, it was clear they were not merely cleaning each other as they squeezed and caressed their bosoms. Then they descended to their bellies with sinous sensual movements and finally to their sexes, at this point they cried as their sensitive folds were rubbed, then they hugged again this time to rinse their arms and faces, always with loving tenderness. Finally Zaubria kneeled and Ali moved one of her legs forward, Zaubria used the soap to massage Ali's leg from the feet upwards, Ali panted with eyes closed as Zaubria took care of her thigh, then Ali swapped her legs restarting the process with the other leg. Both humans watched in awe and fascination at the erotic show they were given. Finally Ali turned to allow Zaubris to take care of her tail.

Val saw fully concentrated on the spectacle, her belly now burned with need, she was lucky half of her body was below water, as otherwise her sex would reveal her arousal, she knew she would be dripping if out of the water, she looked sideways and realized by the way Adam was sitting very still that he was hard as rock.

Val continued watching, now it was Ali's turn to kneel and serve Zaubria which she did with total devotion. Ali, took her partner's leg and softly and slowly got it covered in foam, her smile made clear she was enjoying this, Val remembered hiw badly she'd wanted to touch Zaubria's skin, she felt a bit of envy and wondered how would it feel. Once they had finished they rinsed each other using some pitchers that were lying around.


Kalios walked out of the bathroom, in the towel covering his torso the tent made by his sex was visible, despite his serious and poised attitude he too like all lascerians had a strong libido. However unlike his friend and sister he didn't want to get so close to the azurekin so fast.

He sighed and walked to wait in his room, just before he reached the door someone spoke to him.

"Hey Kalios, thought you would be with your party."

Krisa was in the corridor walking towards him with a smile. Kalios tried to keep his calmness.

"The azurekin have different customs to ours, I think our presence may be more problematic than anything." He explained.

"Our? I only see you there, will you left all the fun to the girls?"

Kalios sighed, she was right.

"You know I'm not good with people, if anyone can befriend the azurekin those are Zaubria and Ali, I would be more of a hindrance. I barely understand our kind, the azurekin are even harder to grasp."

Krisa's smile changed to a more sympathetic one.

"Hey don't be so harsh. You are a great person, I know even the azurekin will get to like you, at least I find you very likeable." The girl giggle in a flirting tone.

Despite everything Kalios hard on was still going, his instincts took control before he noticed.

"Oh yeah, well then, how likeable?"

Krisa placed a hand on his erect member.

"Enough to help you with this." She rubbed his sex making him moan.

Kalios lost control and grabbed her by the waist pulling her into a kiss, the girl returned the kiss passionately. The couple moved while kissing into Kailos' room, they fell into the elegant bed Kalios was below Krisa being straddled by her.

With a skillfull movement she pulled her dress over her head revealing she had no underwear her form now naked except for her high sandals. Kalios admired her mammaries, even for lsscerians her size was uncommon with a desperate movement he placed his hands over them, letting his fingers sink on the flesh, Krisa moaned in response.

"Ah yes yes! I love that!"

Like most males Kalios had noticed Krisa's beauty, but never thought he had any chance and now he was here. The lovers kissed and then Krisa aligned herself to mate. Kalios saw her wet cunt slowly move her his stiff shaft, her dripping sex slowly descended until the first touch happened, both moaned at the contact, then the girl forced herself down quickly eliciting a higher sound from both of them. The couple stood quiet for some seconds panting and indulging in the initial pleasure.

After a minute the proper mating started Krisa moved her ass up and down over him, Kalios synchronized his hips to push against her when she lowered her pelvis causing a sonorous plap whenever their bodies meet. The two panted, Kalios kissed and sucked her bouncing tits covering them in saliva while holding her hips with his hands Krisa howled possessed by lust. Their mating gained speed and the clapping sounds of their bodies crashing into each other became louder and louder making a bestial symphony with their howls of desire, their orgasms building up fast. Finally Kalios felt his rod explode pumping rope after rope of thick semen which soon leaked out of Krisa, not long after Krisa climaxed too, her pussy tightened and puled Kalios ever deeper basting the bed in liquid love. With their mating finished Krisa got down and took her dress from the floor whike Kalios laid spent.

"That was amazing." Said Krisa trying to catch her breath, she dressed again and walked to the door, before leaving she turned her head to Kalios and said "We should do that again sometime." Then she giggled and left.

Kalios stood quiet for a long time, he never expected this, but finally a faint smile appeared on his face.


After the gitls finished they looked at the besotted humans and smiled friendly. Zaubria spoke.

"Do you wanna try with each other? It's really fun and as we said it really helps to get closer with each other."

"M-maybe at another time." Said Adam.

"If you are afraid you don't have to, but we both would love to see you two, especially if we get another "love demonstration" from you." Said Ali with a giggle. Val came to Adam's rescue.

"I-it's just that well we aren't used to doing that in front of others, and... well it would be a little uncomfortable for us."

Before Ali could say more Zaubria placed a hand on her arm.

"It's okay Ali, all of this is clearly new for them and we have disturbed them enough for now. I think it's better if we leave them alone to finish their bath, let's go."

"Oh, okey..." Said Ali disappointed.

Both lascerians left the room. Ali couldn't contain her curiosity anymore.

"Why did we leave? They were liking our little spectacle and they clearly wanted to try themselves."

Zaubria with a wise tone said.

"While that's true you must realize all of this was against their race's beliefs, forcing someone to break its worldview so suddenly and insistently can easily backfire, it's better if they just get used to this naturally, that way they can explore and enjoy at their own pace."

"Oh yeah, you are right, like always..." Said Ali like a scolded child.

"Now now, don't get all somber, I know you just wanted to be kind to them, and you really gave them an amazing show, Adam's eyes were glued to your hips. But you must learn to be patient and let people go at their own pace." Said Zaubria with a kind smile.

"You are right, we need to be patient, thanks."

The two girls walked to their room.


Adam and Val were in shame, feeling self conscious they washed themselves trying not to face each other, none of them knew what to say or do, the lascerians' spectacle had awakened strange yet familiar emotions in them, emotions they wanted to hide from each other and the world.

After washing themselves they covered with some towels and walked to the room given to them, the room was ample and tall, a simple yet elegant round bed for two with purple blankets and pillows was its center piece. The rest of the furniture consisted on two drawers at each side of the bed, a small table and chair beautifully carved and a big wardrobe. All furniture was made in some black wood, large gothic windows allowed light to enter, the windows were enchanted to not allow people outside to see inside.

The couple sat on each side of the bed, trying to not look at each other, on the bed a pair of parcels marked with their names were lying, the clothes Krisa had promised them.

They silently dressed, Adam was given a dark green short sleeved shirt, plain black pants and a pair of boots that seemed part of an armor, likely by Kalios request. Once Adam was dressed he heard Val stand and talk.

"Ahm Adam I have an... issue?"

Adam turned quickly and the view dazzled him. Val was wearing a set of clothes consisting in a tight dark grey bandeau covered with horizontal metallic plates on the front, a loincloth of the same color with fabric hanging below her knees on the front and tightly adjusted to her buttocks on the back, it too had some metallic pieces around her hips and one covering the upper area of her crotch, from it the fabric hanged covered with silver arabesques, she was also wearing a pair of black long gloves which reached a bit beyond her elbows and a pair of boots again black which reached just above her knees, the gloves were decorated with some metal rings around her arms. It was something you would only expect from a porn movie or some fantasy story.

"Ah, Adam are you okay?"

Adam realized he'd been watching Val for some minutes now, he returned to reality.

"Uh ah yes. Yeah I see the problem, maybe we can ask if they can give you something different... but you look amazing by the way."

The last phrase was almost said with guilt, but Val tried not to be harsh on him, afterall his reaction felt like a compliment to her.

"Maaaaybe if you are good we can keep it." Giggled Val.

"Oh yes... that would be nice." Said Adam trying to hide how much he liked the idea "I will ask if they have something more appropiate to meet the guildmaster." He added trying to atone for liking her clothes.

A knock on the door drew their attention, Krisa's voice came from outside.

"Are you ready? The guildmaster will meet you now, please get out as soon as you can."

"Yes we are almost ready but could we get a different set of clothes for Val? We don't think these ones are appropiate, no offense." Asked Adam.

"I'm sorry but we need to be there as soon as possible, she'll have to wait."

"Okay." Said Adam defeated, he sighed.

"Well, I suppose I don't have any other option, lets hope this ends quickly."

Said Val fed up but already used to it.


Val walked a bit ashamed fearful of showing her body. When they exited the room Krisa had looked at Val from head to toe with her eyes wide open, Val didn't know if that was a good thing.

They were guided to the highest floor of the building. The entrance to the guildmaster's chamber was made of wood carved with a myriad of creatures and symbols, Val could only recognize lascerians, humans and what seemed dragons. Before the door their friends were already waiting. Both lascerian girls wore similar clothes to Val, Ali was wearing a red bikini with a very small thong and some arm and leg warmers. Zaubria wore a tight black body suit and boots reaching to her knees along with a pair of gloves, the suit left much of her shoulders, back and cleavage exposed. Both girls looked comfortable on such scant clothes.

Val tried to stay behind hiding using Adam's body, once they reached their friends Val heard a whistle, she got goosebumps, the sound had come from Ali.

"Well look at you Val! You are really stunning." Said Ali as a compliment trying to get around Adam to look at Val.

Zaubria joined her coming from Adam's other side.

"Right? She is a literal work of art."

"Oh yes. I heard stories about the azurekin's beauty." Said Krisa "But until now I thought they were exaggerations. Val you really are magical."

Val blushed overwhelmed by all attention her gaze fixed on the ground. Then Adam's voice raised.

"I know she's the prettiest thing alive, but I think you are stressing her a little bit. Also we have to meet the master."

With that Adam turned to Val and cradled her in his arms, holding her against his body in a protective gesture, Val however noticed his desire below the tenderness in the way his hands held her waist. The girls made an Awww sound in response to Adam's behaviour and turned giggling to the door. Krisa recomposed herself and approached the door with a big golden key, she opened the door just enough for them to pass, then said to the humans serious.

"Please be very respectful, the guildmaster is not known for his patience."

Everyone turned serious remembering this was important, Val however only felt more vulnerable in her clothes. The party entered the room starting with Kalios and finishing with the humans.

The inside of the room was mostly the same as the rest of the guild, simple yet elegant except for a single detail, the desk and all the furniture except the chairs for the visitors were too large for any person, the octagonal room's walls were covered in books of all types and strange artifacts, the desk had a globe representing Gissavras one and a half meter wide, the room had two floors, though Val saw no way to reach the upper one or to see it at full from their position.

The lascerians formed a triangle around the humans in a protective manner, something Val noticed and thanked them for. After a few minutes of silence Ali said.

"Is the guildmaster really...?"

A loud flapping interrupted her, a large shadow blocked the light from the candelabra above, sounds and wind accompanied the shadow. With a deep thud something landed in front of them. Val was now scared.

"Welcome to my office, it is my pleasure to meet you, I am Kenaiross guildmaster of the explorer's guild." Said an unnaturally deep and powerful voice, yet the voice was courteous and modulated.

Val peeped out from behind Adam, there in front of them was what she could only describe as a dragon four meters tall, the creature was red and stood on four legs, a pair of powerful wings folded on his back, it possessed two black horns and red spikes of a darker hue covered his spine from head to tail tip, his face looked aggresive but serious, it had shining yellow eyes, his body was very muscular.

Everyone was in awe looking at the majestic creature, Kalios was the first to recompose and talk.

"Greetings sir, we came as you ordered." He made a small reverence.

The dragon analyzed the group for a moment, before talking.

"I was informed that the three of you were sent to investigate the strange event at the Azure Forest and found them." The dragon looked at the humans, Val tried to hide behind Adam she could feel his muscles tensing up "Is there anything else you need to add?"

"Yes sir, there's something I didn't told Krisa since I thought you had to know first." Said Kalios, the party looked at him curious the dragon's eyes squinted "We found servants of the denied attacking these azurekin."

The dragon's eyes darkened, foreshadowing deeper emotions than they showed. Then he asked.

"How many?"

"Five, but the azurekin male brought one down and we felled another, the others fleed, their gear and small number suggested they were spies."

The dragon got lost in thought for a minute, then he stood on his hind legs, now reaching six meters in height. Val then noticed something, his member hanging between his powerful legs, it was similar to that of a horse both in size, but it was soft hidden in its foreskin, meaning this was its minimal size, this intimidated and distressed Val even more.

"I want you and your party to leave, what I have to say is only for the humans, don't tell anyone about this."

The lascerians didn't like the idea, especially the girls, Ali looked at them worried and Zaubria's gaze shadowed, Kalios remained as stoic as always.

"Understood sir." Said Kalios, he turned his gaze to his party in a silent order, Zaubria clenched her fists and Ali moved her eyes nervous but after some seconds they begrudginly left the room after Kalios.

The dragon walked standing around the humans, Adam followed his movements keeping himself between the dragon and the shaking Val. The creature seemed to be studying them. To Val's surprise Adam talked.

"You called us human not azurekin, also you don't have an amulet for translation."

"Clever, yes you are not the first humans I meet, but it has certainly been a long time."

Val's eyes opened wide at the revelation, how old was he? How could he speak perfect english. The dragon turned to face them.

"We know humans and you had contact before, and it was lost." Said Val "How much you know? How can we return?"

"That I don't know, the azurites are one of the biggest mysteries of creation, if you want to return I doubt it's doable, even if it's in theory possible." Answered the dragon "Right now the denied should worry you more."

"Why?" Asked Adam, Val remembered the dark lascerians that attacked them.

"Because now he knows you are here and he will try to find you." The dragon walked to his desk to sit "Please have a seat."

The humans still fearful and distrustful took seat on the couple of normal chairs.

"I'm going to tell you one of the most important stories from our world. You see long ago the denied blackmailed one of our gods, Rhovas god of prophecy and destiny. The denied kidnapped his children, he did that in order to get a prophecy for himself, one he believed would make him invincible."

"What kind of prophecy?" Asked Val.

"That no god or creature from Gissavras would be able to kill him. The prophecy had a weakness however, humans are not from Gissavras, so they can defeat and even kill him."

The human's eyes lightened with understanding and fear.

"Yes, that's the reason why his servants attacked you. You are now the biggest threat to him. The reason we have been unable to stop him once and for all is precisely because of that prophecy."

Val held Adam's hand tightly with fear.

"Why did he forget about us? Sounds like a very obvious mistake?" Asked Val.

"Because this happened long before we saw humans for the first time, back then he was truly invincible. Then the first humans appeared and helped us destroy his mortal vessel, sadly they failed their attempt to destroy his soul. For a long time you were the bane of his existence."

The dragon then pointed to a piece of leather with the red eye they saw on the hunters of the denied haning on the wall behind them amidst the books, after some seconds Val realized the leather was made from human skin, a shiver ran down her spine.

"I can grant you protection from him and his servants, but I want something in exchange."

Adam squinted before asking.

"And that would be?"

"Help to either destroy the denied forever or access your world in order to bring someone who can destroy him, do this and I will grant you the guild's membership and protection."

Adam sighed, he turned to Val, she just said.

"If that's true then we have no other option." Said Val.

"You know I'm getting tired of not having options." Sighed Adam fed up "Okay we'll do it, we'll help you."

Tha dragon eyes showed an emotion Val could not decipher, as if a path had opened for him.

"Good, then be welcome to the explorer's guild."

His eyes shined even more, from his desk a couple of items floated towards the humans landing on their hands. The objects were copies of the one used by Ali to enter the guild.

"That's the guild's badge, it will identify you as members and allow to use its resources and facilities, for now you can leave. You may join Kalios party if you wish, in that case they will receive an assignment tomorrow. I will contact you after making more research about your world, don't tell anyone anything said here other than your entrance to the guild."

With that the dragon stood and flied away towards the upper floor beyond their sight. Val realized she was holding her breath as she could finally release the air in her lungs. Adam collapsed on his chair stressed. Val just managed to say.

"I-I think we should leave."

Adam reacted jumping from the chair.

"You are right let's go."


As soon as they were out Val felt someone fall on her, a pair of scaly arms hugged her.

"Oh gods!" Said Ali "I was really worried, are you okay?"

Val froze in place dealing with Ali's overwhelming attention.

"Uhm yes we are okay..." Said Val.

"Calm down Ali you are suffocating Val." Said Zaubria with a relaxed tone "I'm glad you are safe." She added now serious "What did the guildmaster said? Can you tell us."

Adam answered.

"He allowed us to join your party. Everything else he wanted to keep a secret."

"Then its done." Said Kalios "I expect you tomorrow to be ready for the next assignment, we'll have to train you on the way."

Ali cried of joy while hugging Val.

"Yes! We will stay together!"

Zaubria laughed admiring Ali's cheerfulness, Adam smiled faintly while Val tried to endure Ali's overbearing affection, even Kalios seemed to relax if only a little.

The party walked excitedly towards their rooms to rest when Krisa appeared walking hurried towards them, two hoded lascerians were behind her.

"I need to tell you something." Sentenced Krisa bluntly, the party's animosity was killed by her serious attitude "These two agents along with some others have confirmed that servants of the denied are roaming on the outskirts of the city. It seems they are also roaming the azure forest and its surroundings."

The entire party was alarmed, the two humans crossed worried gazes.
