The next morning at 4am Ryan’s Phone goes off. He throws open his blanket and swings over to the side of the bed and puts his feet on the Ground. He Raises his arms up above his head and Stretches, then Proceeded to stand up. He walks over to Zephyr’s side of the bed and wakes her up with a Kiss, a Playful Growl and bite on her ear. This Awakens her with a Smile. He then Slides his arms underneath her back and picks her up. He Carries her to the bathroom and gets the water going.
He heats the water as it pours in, and Zephyr Tries her best to stand and walk a few feet. She was slowly improving, but still had no great balance. After the bath was filled, he picks her up and puts her in the bath with her and holds her against his stomach. He washes her back, and everything else on her and she started Purring in excitement. She still felt like Royal Princess Mentally in his arms again.
After he cleans herself up and himself up, they get out and Dry off, and Ryan checks his phone. It was now 5:40am. He then proceeds to Dress her up in a Nice fancy pastel Blue Dress and puts in his Mothers French Hair Comb into her hair. He then kisses her on the cheek again and she Growls at him playfully.
“Try again Mister!” Zephyr tells him playful and flirtatiously. Ryan then gives her a wet kiss on her lips and she playful bites his tongue while he held her and ran her finger behind his left ear.
They then walk out of the bathroom and cautiously enter Kannell’s and Noodles room. While Zephyr was on Ryan’s back. Ryan Peeks through the door and quickly closes it. What he saw inside scared him a little. He then proceeds to walk up the stairs and wake Liz up.
“Whats wrong? What did you see?” Zephyr asks seeming curious. As he carries her up the stairs
“Nope, not saying” Ryan tells her seeming Haunted by what he saw.
“Aww no Fair!” Zephyr said in a childish like tease tone.
Ryan then Opens Liz’s door and finds something… Less disturbing.
“Damn girl!” Zephyr said shock.
Infront of them Liz casted her [Arcane Tether] Spell on herself and tied herself to the bed. She was wearing Lingerie and looked extreamly comfortable, and still asleep. Zephyr then leaps from Ryan’s back and hops on top of Liz.
This wakes her up.
“Huhhh? What… are.. You… Doing…. Zephyr?” Liz said while waking up in a groggy tone.
“Hey, you don’t mind Sending us to Town, do you?” Zephyr asks her while crawling on her hands and knees and biting her neck with her sharp Fangs.
“Oh, Zephyr Yes!!! Sure! But keep doing that! Bite me harder! Draw blood! This is the perfect way to wake up! Its just like how Bella woke me up!” Liz said in an Ecstasy like state.
Zephyr playfully smiles and growls at her, and bites her a little harder on the neck and you can see Liz’s Masochism mode kick in. Ryan feeling bored, decides to sit on the bed and Watch Zephyr Tear into Liz. She looked like she was having fun biting her, but at the same time Ryan could read her. She was transferring her Anger and Sadness into her from her losing her tail, and also him running away from her at her time of need.
After 10 minutes of this weird relaxing S&M season, Liz’s neck was bleeding heavily, and she looked extreamly excited. Liz then dispels her [Arcane Teether] spell on her and Zephyr casts [Purr] and licks her neck as the huge gash in her neck heals up. Ryan was a little shocked at this behavior from Zephyr. But this weirdly turned him on.
“So, I thought you said you weren’t Lesbian Liz” Ryan asks her.
“I’m not dude, I’m sort of Bi. Well at least I think I am. I don’t know what I am honestly, I tend to Fluctuate my stance. I lived with Bella for so long I developed a S&M fetish when she would Feed on me. Plus, I got Lonely and we sorta “Took Care” of each other. I like men the most, but how I see it, If Opportunity is available, I’m taking it” Liz tells him.
Zephyr just smiles at Ryan and doesn’t say anything. She Rolls onto her feet while sitting on the Edge of the bed and Sticks both arms out at him Signaling him to pick her up. He then Turns around and She puts her arms around his back and grabs on. He then stands up with her.
“Alrighty, let me send you to town. When will you be back here?” Liz asks as she stands up,
“I don’t know, maybe in 8-9 hours. 10 hours max” Ryan tells her.
“Alrighty, that’s perfect. Hey, I’ll be in Gainer at 5pm if you want to meet up” Liz tells them.
“We might do that!” Ryan tells her in an excited tone.
“Okay, I’ll talk to Lake about having a feast ready for you, I’ll bring the others. I sort of of have a Surprise for us Girls” She told him.
“Alrighty That sounds fun” Zephyr said seeming excited.
“Alrighty guys, Have fun. Don’t get lost!” She tells them as She Teleports them 5 miles to town.
Liz then sits on her bed looking up at the ceiling feeling great. She then casts [Arcane Tether] On herself again and ties herself to the bed. She then closes her eyes again and goes back to sleep.
Meanwhile in the town of Staug, Ryan and Zephyr walk over to Breanna’s Inn and have a super cheap breakfast before his first day on this new job.
Liz gives them a plate of Steak and some ham and Ryan and Zephyr eat this up.
“So Dumb question Breanna, don’t you serve Pan Cakes?” He asks her as he eats his steak.
“I don’t know what that is” She tells Ryan.
“Oh, it’s like a sweet flat cake. I used to have them all the time in my old world” Ryan tells her.
“Still don’t know what the hell that is. Can you show me?” Breanna asks him.
“Certainly” Ryan said as he gets up and walks into the kitchen with her.
He takes some Flour, some eggs and some butter, Milk, sugar, and some oil and some other things she had around, and mixes them together, He then takes out a Flat pan and butters it up, and puts it on top of the wood stove. He pours this batter on it and shows her how to cook it. He then flips this round Pancake onto a plate, and walks outside with a Hammer, a Nail, and an Empty Moonshine jug. He walks to a maple tree and taps it and lets the tree bleed out into the moonshine jug. After filling it up 1/4 of the way he beats the nail back into the tree to plug it. He then takes Syrup and adds some sugar to it, and pours it on the pancake and has Breanna, and Zephyr Try it.
Breanna’s Eyes open up wide and kisses him on the cheek in front of Zephyr.
“Would you girls stop kissing my BOYFRIEND?” Zephyr said jokingly.
“Sorry Sis, but this is something I can make money off of. Ryan, can you write down the Recipe for me?” She asks him as she gives him a Sheet of paper. Ryan then Writes down the instructions, along with how to make the most basic Maple Syrup. She then walks over to her Chef and asks him to go buy some more supplies for her. She gives him a bag of gold and he smiles and goes does this errand for her.
“Alrighty Sis, we have to go, I’ll see you later” Zephyr tells her as she finishes up her plate.
“Where are you all going?” She asks her.
“Going for an Adventure, Ryan has a job that moves cargo from one place to another. Were going for a ride through the heart Tourterra over to Gainer” She tells her.
“Oh, Alright Have fun. Hey If, you can bring me back some Ripen Bananas from Southern Tourterra that would be great. We have a Festival coming up in 2 weeks and I would like to stock up on them. I’ll pay you guys for 3 create worth if you can do that for me” She tells them.
“Okay, Will do!” Ryan tells her as he carries Zephyr out the door with him.
Both of them then walk to over to Gary’s Loading station, and he sees a cart that has been preloaded with Iron ore. Ryan then looks around and grabs a Gatorboar from one of the Stables and hooks it up to it. While Zephyr sits back and watches him. He then goes and grabs another one and connects this one to the other side of the Trailer. He puts in the mouth bits and runs the Reins to the front of the Trailer. As he does this his boss arrives a little tired.
“Ahh You already Saddled them Up! I love you son! Alrighty. Do you know where your going?” He asks Ryan as he hands him a map. Ryan rejects the map and points to his phone.
“This magical Trinket of mine will show me where I need to go Sir” Ryan tells him.
“Oh, that’s right, you’re the kid with that “Thing”. Well take this anyway. Inside the map is also the Bill of Laden for Queen Lake to Sign. I need this so she can pay us” Gary tells him.
Ryan takes the Paperwork and smiles at him.
“Yes, Sir Will do!” Ryan tells him as he Carries Zephyr into the cart with him.
“Alrighty, you go have fun now. Enjoy your first day at Lect-Ex! DON’T HIT SHIT!” Gary said as he waves goodbye to them.
“I wont sir! I’ll be there in around 9 hours at most” He tells him.
“Alrighty, I’ll send word to her on that for you” Gary said as Ryan makes the beasts start pulling them forward.
Ryan then swings Wide Left and starts heading out the gate slowly. He hands his phone to Zephyr and tells her to input “Gainer” into the phones Navigation app and hit enter as he leaves the city’s Narrow gate. As soon as they are Out Ryan makes the beasts start trotting at 6 Miles an hour and looks behind him to make sure the load was secured. He stops up ahead and gets out to look at a strap that was loose and he tightens it up. Then hops back on and they take off again. He follows a winding road to the West and takes a route that will take them past their house. Ryan then asks Her to put on a song for him.
“Which one honey?” She asks him.
“Hmm, here hold these” Ryan said as he passes her the reins. She then hands him his phone while he looks for a song to play. (Like a Responsible, Safe Driving Adult. Yes, you know what I’m talking about. Keep your Eyes on the Damn Road kids!)
He puts on the song “Freightliner Fever” By Dave Dudley and hands her the phone back. He takes the Reins back and he picks up the speed. These Huge Gatorboar’s start to max out their speed at 10 miles an hour. As they start charging the ground starts to shake. This makes a Caravan of people ahead of him pull off the Goble stone road to stare at them as they passed them. They all wave at Ryan, and Zephyr as they pass them. As they passed them, they felt the mini Earthquake these massive things were producing. As they passed them the kids in the caravan Cheered.
“Hey Hun, what type of Music is this? Its sort of “Different” Then what I’ve heard before” She asks him.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
“Its Country Music” He tells her with a Smile.
“Oh, okay Hun” She said as she lays back against the back board.
They Ride for 5 miles and notices Greena was sitting outside the house and she seemed bored. He then stops the Wagon.
“Hey Greena, want to Ride with us?” Zephyr asks her.
“Sure, I don’t mind!” She said as she hops on.
“Sweet!” Ryan said as they start to move forward.
Greena hops in the back bench behind them and reads her Shadow spell book she got in the Aquifer Dungeon.
They ride for 2 hours and the girls watch the world slowly go by them. They then reach St. Jonny’s River. There was a Bridge ahead and Ryan was a little nervous about Crossing it. He stops at the front of it and asks the folks about the bridge load rating. He gets some stats and did not like it. They tell them if they detour to the south there is a Shorter Stone bridge at an Oxbow bend of the river that might support their Weight. Ryan thanks them and they take a 5-mile detour to a Stone Bridge that was Narrow.
Ryan gets Greena out to guide him as he needed another set of eyes since this Bridge was Extremely narrow. He gets the Trailer on it and maintains a Straight line She walks with him to the other side and then hops back on. They then haul ass back at 10 miles an hour. Zephyr hits play on his phone and the song “I Woke Up in a Car” From Something Corporate comes on. They then follow the river 5 miles back north and get back on the main Trail.
The Girls Jam out to this song along with Ryan as they follow the River.
Then when They get back on the main Road, they keep following it. they continues for another 20 miles, then take a 40-minute break. Ryan unharness’ s the Gatorboar’s and leads them into a nearby pond.
They dive into it and cool off and start hunting fish.
“So, what the hell are these things exactly?” Zephyr asks him.
“Well they are Called Gatorboar’s. I guess they call them that because they are like half pig, half Alligator. They are Extremely powerful and fast as you have noticed” He told her.
“These things only go like 10 miles an hour their not very fast at all” Zephyr replies to him seeming confused.
“Well that’s because they are pulling 20,000 pounds of weight honey. A 10-donkey train can pull like 4,000 pounds at 5 miles an hour or something like that. These things in relation to their size, and Weight can pull way more then that, and Also Way Faster” He tells her.
Zephyr then does some math on her fingers and realizes he is right.
“Oh, I see. That’s cool. But they are so weird” She said as she sees one of these things do a barrel roll in the water.
“Ya they remind me of The Platypus. I feel like the same person who created it, made these beasts. I mean, these things even Lay eggs” He tells her.
“Honey… Whats a Platypus? Zephyr asks him.
Ryan then takes his phone and looks up a picture of it.
“What the Hell? That’s funny! Who created that thing?” Zephyr asks while laughing.
“Nobody knows, but it’s from my home world” Ryan tells her.
“Well then… These things resemble them a lot” Zephyr said as she points to the water.
Ryan then whistles at them and they come charging out of the water all happy. Ryan pets the Alligator snout of one of them and it drops some fish by his feet. He picks up the fish and the Gatorboar was wagging its tail excited like a dog. Ryan then Throws it and it charges after it. Ryan then takes the other one and connects it to the Wagon. The other one comes back to Ryan and drops the fish by his feet. Ryan then feeds the fish to it, and it licks his hand. He then connects it to the wagon and something weird happens. One of the Gatorboar’s Lays a huge giant Egg while standing still. When it hits the ground, a very familiar smell comes from it. The egg was cracked open when it hit the ground and Ryan crawl’s behind the beast and retrieve this 10-pound egg. Inside the Egg was Bacon strips.
“What the hell?!” Ryan said seeming extreamly confused.
“Their Eggs contain Bacon?” Zephyr said in confusion.
“I didn’t know this!” Ryan said in shock. Zephyr then pops a piece in her mouth and Gives him a Thumbs up.
“Yep they do. Its so weird” Zephyr said as he handed him a piece.
Greena just sat back and giggled at them and their reaction to this.
They then hop on and begin moving forward. They put on some music and the song “Yellow bus” from Insane Clown Posse comes on. Zephyr for some reason finds this song Amusing and puts the song Global.
The start moving through a whole bunch of woodland and the road starts to cut through a canopy of Trees. They ride in peace for another 30 miles. When they arrive at the city they were Jamming out to “Quick Escape” By Pearl Jam
They then Roll into to town and Some Royal guards come to Great them all and Direct them into a Route they wanted them to take. Ryan then follows them all over to the Blacksmith Depot. Ryan along with several other “Hands” Then start Unloading the Creates full of Ore on a raised platform. When the Arcane mage “Interns” Arrive, they start Craning off the boxes as Ryan and the girls head over to Queen Lake. She signs the Bill of Laden and Liz gives Zephyr a Warm hug as she hung off Ryan’s back.
When the Cart was unloaded Gary Arrives and he gives him the Paperwork.
This makes him Smile, and he hands Ryan 80 gold for Base pay miles. Ryan explained to him about the detour, and he was happy he didn’t risk a bridge Collapse. He tells him to go get some rest because he is going to get the other Load ready for the morning.
He then Carries Zephyr as he and Greena follows Liz and Queen Lake. As the walk Queen Lake glares At Greena. She looks familiar but decides to ignore what she was thinking about her. The girls then walk into the castle and have a Feast full of Rice, Chicken, Pork and Lamb and a whole bunch of other goodies with Kannell and Joseph. After the feast was over, Kannell, Liz and Zephyr have an appointment with the Royal Hairstylist that Liz secretly set this up for them today, while Greena. Ryan, and Noodle go for a random walk around town. They end up watching some Magic students start Pledging for a Guild. They Follow a Guy stripped down to his white underwear walk around Campus with a Sign that said: “Single! Seeking Semi Psychotic Girlfriend! Must Have Daddy Issues!”
Greena laughs at this guy and they keep walking around the campus. They see people dueling each other and a weird “Magical Herb” smell reeked in the air.
Some Magic academy kids Challenge Noodle to a fight and He accepts it. The kids then step back, and a Girl explains the rules.
“The first one down to 10% health loses and the fight is over” She said.
As soon as the battle Starts the Ice mage Bombards Noodle with a Super Ice attack and ice shards and snow flurries fly everywhere. This makes the zone they were in foggy, but after the dust settles Noddle was seen behind this Collage aged kid kicking him in the nuts making him go down.
“Does this count as a Win?” Noodle asks as he sits on top of the kid with his sword to his neck.
“No Fucking Fair! That was a cheap shot!” The man screams in a Squeaky voice while in a lot of pain.
“Your attacks Tickled, but I had to take you down before you gained distance. You Ice mages love your distance and slow effects” Noodle said while getting up.
As soon as he let the Guy get up, He fires another attack at Noodle, and Noodle laughs at him.
“What the hell? You didn’t even budge!” The Guy said in shock. He then proceeds to scan Noodle.
“What the Hell? Why the hell you have 82 Intel?!... Guys This idiot Warrior builds Intel!” The guy screams at his friends.
Upon him saying that, Noodle picks him up in the air above his head and Carries him to a dumpster and throws him in.
“Stop making fun of me!” Noodle screams at him.
Suddenly his other 2 friends a Fire mage and an Arcane mage attack him with some Super powerful Fire, and Arcane spells at Noodle while he had his back was turned. Noodle turns around and glares at them. When his friends realize he didn’t even flinch, they start bombing him with endless attacks. Noodle then slowly walks to them as he gets bombed and grabs both of them by the arms and Drags them to the pond nearby. He then does a [Whirl Wind Spin] and tosses them 15 yards into the water. As soon as they land, The Gatorboar’s Ryan brought in, appear out of the water and scare the crap out of them. The Gatorboar’s then who are in a playful mood start chase them out of the water with fish in their mouth as they ran in fear. Greena sits back laughing her ass off at them, and she stops these two Creatures. She takes the fish out of their mouths and throw them into the water, and they go chase after them. When they get in the water they stay there.
Ryan and Noodle were laughing at these Kids and then they continue walking as the Reek of that Mysterious Herb still permeated in the air. They then walk past a whole bunch of Mellow Students. Then they head back to the castle.
When they get back, the girls all had new Hairstyles.
Kannell had her hair cut slightly shorter than it was, and had it dyed from Brown, to Golden blonde.
Liz had her Hair Dyed Dark Purple in honor of Bella Anya Vedra, Somone who she truly misses and Loves, and understands she wouldn’t be where she is now without her, due to the life Lessons she taught her that helped her get her Royalty and Kingdom back.
Zephyr who was being Carried on Kannell’s Back on the other hand, left her Choppy Emo hair length the same and Had it Dyed Neon blue. She also had a Cosmetic Mage Change her Eye color from Red, to Blue.
When they meet up again, Kannell then Teleports them all home.
Everyone Shares their Adventures to Misty, and Zara, then They all head to bed. Inside Zephyrs and Ryan’s bedroom they cuddle again, and Ryan couldn’t Take his hands off of Zephyrs Super gorgeous Hair. This makes her feel loved even more, and She Purrs Herself to sleep next to him. When Ryan was asleep Greena Wakes her up and carries her into her own room.
She asked Earlier if she could bring her his phone, and she had it in her hand. They go into her room and Chill out on Greena’s bed. Greena pours her a glass of wine, and they listen to Paramore After they talk for about 20 minutes about random girl stuff, she carries her back to Ryan’s Bed. She then goes back to her room and blows out the Candles.
She then puts one of the songs Arcadia Told her to listen to her if she felt troubled. She puts on the Song “Going Under” From Evanescence on mild speaker volume and Thinks about her life while the song plays.
She Remembers Her Joining Yulee’s Sect as a Young Shadow Priest, then Yulee giving her a Mission to Escort Demons to a Staging Area on an Attack on Bunnell’s Town, then She Remembers Yulee Using her to heal them, and keep them alive in battle. Then Yulee Promoting her to a higher Rank and Assigning her to Stand by her side. She then Remembers Global War 1.

She Remembers Yulee Teleporting down and giving her a Smile and Telling her to lead a Force of from Faterra to Eyefore. She remembers leading a Specially Designed class that was a Shadow Priest/Black Magic Hybrid that had a Special “Curse” on them.

She was Crying right now, as the song “Tourniquet” From Evanescence came on. She wipes away her tears and hopes her suffering will end one day. She then finishes her glass of wine and heads to bed.
When she Turns over and closes her eyes Arcadia was sitting outside her window looking in at her. She smiles at her and walks away into the darkness. She then Teleports back into her respawn Room and Grabs another book to Read.
