In the morning when the Sun came up Warren found the 4 of them all sleeping on the makeshift raft. He looks across the harbor and sees a Missing Island in the distance, and the remains of a Pirate ship sitting on the edge of a sandbar.
He knells down and looks at the group and makes sure everyone was breathing. They were all bruised up, and he is shocked when he sees Ryan is back on the mainland out of Vedras Custody. He then see’s Liz and shakes his head in disappointment.
“Alexis, I need you to Arrest this woman. She is violating a Banishment agreement” He orders his Deputy.
“Yes Sir” She replies. She steps on Zephyr accidently, but grabs Liz’s arms and pulls her into sand and flips her over.
Liz Wakes up and pushes Alexis away her away, causing her to fall over on her back. Her plate armor makes a crashing noise when she fell.
“Leave me alone Zephyr. Let me sleep for 1 more hour before I leave” She said while still halfway asleep.
She then proceeds to cross her arms in front of her in the sand and lay her hand in them and go back to sleep.
Alexis gets up and looks at Warren looking confused.
“Fuck you Bitch your under arrest!” She Screams as she leans over and grabs her arms.
She pulls out her arms and Liz opens her eyes and shoves the woman back again thinking she is Zephyr.
Alexis falls down again and gets back up angrier this time. She jumps down on her back and this makes Liz wake up quickly. She turns her head and notices Warren with a pissed off look at her, and then sees the female Knight who has control of her arms.
“Oh shit! I didn’t leave early enough!” Liz screams in a Panic. This wakes up the other 3.
“I didn’t do anything wrong! Why Am I being Arrested!” She screams at Warren.
“You already committed 2 acts of battery on my Deputy, and you are Violating your Banishment Agreement by being here on the mainland of Tourterra Miss Lindsay Hawthorn”
“Oh Come-on! Vedra is dead and her Island just sank to the bottom of the Ocean! I have nowhere else to go!” She screams at him.
Everyone else wakes up and sees Liz getting her ass handed to her By Alexis.
Zephyr who is just getting up just smiles at her with a Devilish Grin.
“Well then, you should have gone down with the island shouldn’t you Miss Hawthorne? Now you’re under arrest for Trespassing. Also, since you violated you Amnesty agreement, your Murder charge is now Reinstated. Alexis Take her away!” He orders her. Suddenly Alexis puts on these green light-based Handcuffs and drags her to the city.
“But I didn’t do anything wrong! This is unfair! You don’t know what type of night I have had! You fucking asshole!” She screams and cries as she gets dragged off by Alexis.
“Zephyr! Help me Please!!!!” She screams in desperation.
“Sorry Liz, nothing personal but I’m not really your friend I’ll come see you at your Hanging Trial” She said with a Demented smile.
“You Fucking 2 face Lying Heartless Bitch!” She screams as she gets dragged further away.
Suddenly she breaks loose of Alexis’s Grip and tries to cast a spell with her hands behind her. But can’t. Those enchanted Handcuffs stopped her. She then starts running toward Zephyr. She Shoulder bashes her to the ground and spits on her face.
“You know what, I lied. I have feelings for Ryan. While you were knocked out Me and him had sex. I got something you will never get from him before he leaves you. So, enjoy living life knowing that you fucking Lying bitch!” She said with a Pissed off, horny lying tone. Suddenly Alexis pulls her off of Zephyr and grabs her by her Hair and drags her off into the city.
Zephyr just smiles at her. Then She shoots Ryan a Deadly look.
“Zephyr, no we did not. She is Lying. The only person I banged was Vedra. Not her. Don’t give me that look!” Ryan said while looking at this face she makes before she plots Revenge.
“Wait why is She getting dragged off Warren? Ryan said while changing the subject.
“She killed an Undercover Knight of mine that was supposed to bring down a band of Outlaws. She was a very well-known Vigilante around here, but she killed him, and his death allowed the group to spread like a wildfire into the Disturbia Anarchy we are dealing with today. We handed her over to Vedra 3 years ago with the Agreement she was never allowed to come back here, or she would be put to death” Warren explained to him.
“Well she didn’t do anything wrong. Vedra is Dead, and her Island is no more. I brought her here on my own judgment, along with these other 2” Ryan said while concern for Liz.
“I’m sorry, but no I can’t cut her a break” Warren replied.
Suddenly Mayor Max comes walking out of the city.
“Wait did you say Vedra is dead?” Warren asked seeming extreamly Interested.
“Yes, Zephyr ended up killing her. It was kind of a Fucked-up thing she did, But Yes She is dead, and her Home is no more” Ryan told him with a heavy heart.
Suddenly Max Hears this and Smiles in joy.
“So, Lady Thickmane killed the Queen of Terror?” He asked seeming like a thousand pounds of weight was on his shoulders.
“Yes, I did kill her” Zephyr said while she picked up the Terraria That Liz was wearing.
“That Is Great News! This town will be glad to hear this!” He said as he walks away seeming full of joy.
“We also Killed Dahvie, and Ponce” Breanna told Warren while standing up suffering a headache.
“Wait you Caused all this?” He asked as he points to the city wall. The look close and see 60% of the Sea wall was destroyed, and a Defensive wall was crumbled, along with 5 buildings they could see through the hole that had severe damage from the Cannon fire last night.
“Yes. When Zephyr killed Vedra, those Warlocks Absorbed her high-level Soul and were able to break out of that Prison they were buried under” Ryan said in a way to point all the blame on Zephyr”
“Okay, we need to have an emergency meeting All three of you come with me please” He asked them. Suffering from her headache Breanna Sees her staff that washed ashore on the other side of the shattered wall. She walks over to it and picks it up and Looks through the hole in the wall and can see the Battle damage.
“What in the Hell?” She said as she looked through this wall.
Ryan then proceeds to follow them inside the city, and they walk into the City Hall Building and sit down in front of Mayor max, Warren and his Deputies, Garrison of the City’s bank, and a few of the Class Trainers, and some Stone Masons.
“Have a Seat” Warren tells them.
All Three of them take a seat in the middle of the City hall meeting room and Mayor max walks up to them.
“We are so glad to Announce that all of these heroes have Slayed Ponce, and Dahvie. The ones who Fired upon the city last night” Max tells the everyone.
Suddenly everyone starts Whispering among themselves.
“You do Know that Liz helped us kill him, too right?” Ryan said while trying to defend her.
“Well then she can be included in the Repair bill than also” Warren Said with disappointment.
“Wait what do you Mean…. REPAIR bill?” Zephyr said seeming shocked.
When you Summoned Dahvie and Ponce back into this realm, they fired upon our city last night Destroying our City walls, and a portion of the city. They did $700k in damages. I’m not saying that you’re not going to be rewarded for taking them down before they took back the city, but their Bounty is only worth $100K in gold. But We won’t pay that out to you since you caused the damage by not consulting with us first” Garrison ended up telling them.
“The best we can do is Take that bounty Money from the Tourterra Kingdom Coffer since we have proof their ship has been sunk and put it towards the Repair of the city” Mayor Max explained while taking a sip of his Tea.
“How do we know they actually killed them though?” a Woman in the back of the room asked.
Everyone looks over at her and she was wearing an official Uniform of the Kingdom of Tourterra. She had Royal robes of Blue and Orange and She had a Blue hair clip in in her Natural Auburn hair.
“Ahh Lady Lake how are you doing?” Mayor Max said while Greeting her in excitement.
“My mages in the kingdoms capital have Been tracing a large disturbance coming from this Area, and I been dispatched to check it out. I just teleported here 10 minutes ago” Lady lake explained
“We Did in fact kill both of them. Ponce was weak from not having any souls for the past 40 years. We were able to board his ship and take him down, While Ryan took out the cannons and sank the ship” Breanna Explained to her.
“Well I need proof that both of them are dead. A sunken ship is Won’t suffice as a bounty reward” She explained to Breanna.
“I don’t think we have anything of physical Property to show you. All we have is emotional Distress and all these wounds we got” Ryan Said sarcastically.
Suddenly Zephyr Pulls Him to her and whispers in his ear.
“Dude That is a Royal from the Capital Crown City “Gainer” Watch how you address her!” She urged him with fear for his wellbeing.
“Alrighty?” He whispered back to her.
“Those won’t do if I am going to hand out the bounty money from the Royal Quest Coffers” Lake replied back to him with a Weird look in her eye.
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
“You Could check our achievements, and our quest log My lady.” Zephyr told her.
“Princess Zephyr! Its an honor to see you again! How is your mother?” She asked with a Smile.
“Please call me Lady Thickmane, I don’t like to be royally addressed by my first name, or by the prefix “Princess” Zephyr said politely and smiling at her.
“My mother, Shes doing very well! I just ran back up to my Kingdom not that long ago. She just found herself a hobby to keep herself sane and take her mind off of wanting to kill my Father for that “thing” he did” She said While laughing.
“Ahh I yes, That “Thing”. She replied while letting off a laugh.
“Glad your mother Arianna is doing well. What Hobby did she take up? Bird watching?” She said with a laughter.
“Lady Lake that’s kind of Racist don’t you think?” she said with a smile.
“Oh, I’m very sorry Lady Thickmane, I forgot your mother was a Feline Lyieku. My Apologies” She said Apologetically.
“Your Fine Lady Lake, I’m teasing you. You were really close with your answer” She said with a smile.
“What is her hobby if its not Bird Watching?” She asked seeming interested in the answer.
Zephyr Facepalms.
“Bird Chasing” She said while smiling and feeling embarrassed at the same time.
Suddenly the whole Room ignites in laugher.
Ryan couldn’t believe this. She just told him to address them in a Royal way, but Her Socially Awkward side is polished and shining bright. He’s going to take a guess this is why her parents resent her.
“Well then, I see your still Optimistic, and Free spirited” She said while giving her a Disappointed look.
Ryan just looks at Lady Lake, and reads her disappointment, and realizes he was right. She doesn’t act like a Princess. He takes this in and puts two and two together.
“Anyway Yes, I could Read your achievements and see if you did in fact kill them. I will start you” She asked while she points at Ryan.
Ryan just stands motionless and confused.
She Puts her hands on him and reads his mind.
Suddenly in his head he sees a User interface like system. A Reputation screen flies by in his head which showed he was 85% Honored with Staug City, then a Spell book flies with his 3 spells he learned. His 3rd spell literally said “Ignite Weapon” as the spell book flies off screen, and then She pulls up his quest log.
She see’s the quest complete tab and smiles and lets him go.
“Okay this one did in fact kill them. Let me check the other two” She said seeming pleased.
Everyone in the room whispers among themselves, and Garrison walks out of the room.
She scans Breanna, and notices something. “Why are you aligned with the Fusers Cult?” she asked as she reads her reputation list.
“It’s a long story. I was only there for 5 weeks. I forgot to clear them from my list!” She said in embarrassment.
“Your Reputation with them is Traitor Status at -3000 Points” She asked seeming confused.
Suddenly Breanna clears the Reputation screen of the alignment feeling Embarrassed
Lake is a little disturbed by this but continues on and scans her quest line.
“Okay she also killed them as well. They are telling the truth” She said seeming a little happy.
“Your turn lady Thickmane” She tells her as she scans her mind.
She looks at her reputation screen and notices her Status with the kingdom of Wyozonia was at 32213/1,000,000 points and she was still labeled as “royalty” for some reason. In that Point Range she should still be labeled as “Friendly”
She then scans her Questline and Sees that she has killed Those 2 pirates as well, but she also notices a quest that was not turned on.
“She Also has Slain those 2. But I see an unturned in quest here. “Defeat the City Planning Commission” Has not been payed out to her” She says out loud.
“Oh, we gave that reward to Ryan to share with Zephyr when she got back” Mayor Max said.
“Hang on, what was that quest?” She asked seeming confused.
“When you and Ryan Slayed those three Succubi haunting the woods” Warren Explained.
“Oh, I remember getting that Quest completion Message. But I never received any money from it” She tells him.
“Ryan, that reward of 14k gold for giving us materials from Daytona and slaying The C.P.C. was meant to be split with her. You haven’t given it to her yet?” He asks him.
“No, I was never told I had to split it with her” He replied back.
Suddenly Garrison comes walking back into the building.
“Well We made a mistake then; can you give her 7k share now?” He asked her.
Suddenly Garrison starts laughing.
“He can’t. He blew through 14k in 3 days” He said while trying to maintain composer.
Suddenly Zephyr looks at him with anger.
“Wait you Blew through 14k in 2 days?” She said with disbelief
“Yes. I spent a lot to make my kite, my board, and when I broke my Sword, I learned I needed to by a spell blade which was like 9k. No one told me I had to give that to Zephyr, or I would have budgeted better” he said with embarrassment.
“Look I will let you two deal with that payout between yourselves okay?” Lake said.
Suddenly She flips to the back side of her quest log, and notices something.
“Hey, she’s Got an Achievement!” Lake said seeming excited.
“Achievement: Troy Fell Because of a Woman”: Kill Lady Bella Anya Vedra She read out loud
Suddenly everyone in the room went silent. For an awkward and long 40 seconds.
“Hang on, are you telling me “Vedra Of Villano” is dead?” A stone mason asked seeming confused.
“Wait Villano Vedra the Evil is dead?” A woman cried seeming happy and running out of the building.
Suddenly a whole lot of people start talking and get excited.
“Quite down everyone!” Warren demanded.
“Do you have any proof of this?” Lake asks.
“Yes, I do, do you still have that Tierra you picked up when you arrested Liz?” She asked Warren.
Warren pulls out the Tierra from behind him and places it on the Table.
“That is her Blood Stone Crown!” A mage said in disbelief.
Suddenly everyone runs out of the Room cheering and spreading the word that Vedra was dead.
Lake turns toward Warren and Max smiles at them.
“Ok, this right here Means she gets a 3 million gold Bounty. Lake said while pulling out a piece of paper.
She pulled out a Royal looking form, and filled it out and handed it to Max.
“Lady Thickmane, since you have the achievement on you, You Get this 3 million gold bounty that has been on her head for over 400 years” She said while seeming Proud.
“You know what, I’m just going to say it. Zephyr, we don’t deserve any of that Reward, We both ruined Liz’s life. We need to give a portion of that to Liz” Ryan said while feeling guilty.
“No fuck that bitch, she tried to kill me, and steal you from me” She said with an immature tone.
“She never tried to steal me away from you. We never even Smashed or anything like that. She Lied this morning, and you Know it.” He told her in a pissed off tone.
“I know she was lying, dude, but Shes going to rot in jail for a while, maybe even get executed. So, I am going to take my money reward and enjoy it all!” She said while seeming proud
“You know what, you’re a self-centered asshole Zephyr, after we are done, I am leaving you and going on my Own, your just so Toxic I don’t want to be around you” Ryan said in rage while feeling sympathetic toward Liz.
“Well hang on” We are not done yet, there is still Damage to the city that needs to be payed out before I can give you a reward” Lady lake said.
“Wait what do you mean?” Zephyr asked.
“What I mean Is there is still a 700k repair bill to the city.” She explained.
“Hang on back up there for a moment. I killed a Fearsome Beast single handily, and we all brought down 2 warlock Pirates afterword. I deserve a Hero Status not a Damn Repair bill” Zephyr screamed back in anger.
“Look you should have Told us you were going to do it; we would have had plans in place. Several homes and Businesses are damaged because of your Impulse” Mayor Max said while pulling out a sheet of paper.
Look heres is the deal. She will pull out a whole lot of gold from the Royal Questing Coffer, and you can just pay the 700K for the city damages.” Max told her nicely.
“Hang on, I’m not paying for Ryan’s fair share of damage, Or Liz’s. I want a Split payment option.” She said while thinking of something evil.
“That’s Fair. We will split the damage among all 4 of you. We will withhold Dahvie and Ponce’s bounty of 100k and that will leave you with a 600K” Lady Lake said as she gave Mayor max a Check for 100k.
“But Liz did nothing wrong! Come on this is fucking messed up. Leave her out of this. Zephyr killed Vedra, which Released Dahvie and Ponce. Zephyr caused all this shit” Ryan pleaded with them.
“You know what, Yes, lets leave Liz out of this. I know you want to leave me Ryan, so let’s just split the share of this damage to just the 3 of us” She said in a malicious smile.
“Your making that Face again! What are you planning?” Ryan asked feeling a chill run down his spine.
She just smiles at him, and Her tail was wagging.
“Yes, that sounds fair. Liz did nothing wrong here” Zephyr said calmly.
“Hang on, I don’t like your Bi-polar moments! what are you planning Zephyr!” Ryan said while freaking out.
She doesn’t say anything. She just sits back and gives him a victorious look.
“200k between Me Ryan and Breanna Sounds fair” Zephyr said while smiling at Warren and Max.
Lady Lake is trying to figure out what she is doing, but just remains silent.
“Since Breanna was dragged along by Force with me, and she didn’t do anything wrong, I will pay for her and my Share of damages with my Vedra Bounty. That will leave $200K left for Ryan to cover” Zephyr said with an Evil tone to her voice.
“But I don’t have 200k! I only have like I think 300 gold left in my account.” He said seeming alarmed. Suddenly He gets what shes doing.
“Okay, that seems fair, I’ll subtract 400k from your 3 million gold bounty. I will be right back” She said as she walks out of the Town hall meeting.
When she gets outside thousands of people were yelling the news about Zephyr Freeing the town from Vedra’s Terror.
“Okay Ryan how do you expect to pay your 200k share?” Warren askes him.
“I don’t have a plan. All I am is an intermediate Crafter I guess I could work my ass off and give a portion of my profits to you in the form of taxes” Ryan said seeming stumped.
‘No, we need that money now. We need to Order in Supplies to fix those Defensive walls and the business’s that were damaged” Warren said while Taping his foot.
“There is no way I have that amount of money right now” Ryan said seeming embarrassed.
Meanwhile Zephyr was leaning back in her chair smiling with a Smug face
“Look I like you Ryan, but if you can’t pay, I’m going to have to put you in jail” He tells him with a regretful tone.
“Oh, you have to be kidding me!” Ryan said seeming Overwhelmed with pressure by this situation.
Suddenly Zephyr puts her chair back on all four legs and leans forward and stands up.
“He could be in jail for like how long? 3 years?” Zephyr askes. Seeming extreamly proud.
“More like 10 years” Mayor max said while counting on his fingers.
“No that’s unfair!” Ryan shouts in fear.
Zephyr face palms and smiles at him.
“Meh, you need the money now you say? I got an idea! I’ll bail him out. But Warren we need to make this Bailout official” She said while playing with her long hair and looking innocent.
Suddenly Everything becomes clear now to Ryan.
“I’ll put up the 200k for him. But Let’s make a Legal contract first” She asks him.
“ Hell no! I don’t want to owe her money! I just want to get the hell out of here!” Ryan said while pleading with Warren.
“You kind of have no choice at this point. We need those supplies like now” Warren replied to him.
“Fuck no! Fine I will go to jail!” He shouts seeming desperate.
“Check mate” Zephyr said while smiling at him.
“You fucking evil bitch!” Ryan screams as he gets up and runs out of the room. Alexis was at the door and restrains him.
“Nope where are you going?” She asks him in a Firm tone.
She then drags him back into his seat.
Zephyr was enjoying his torment.
“Ok. I will put up 200k for him, but He is my Indentured Servant for 5 years, or until he pays me back 200k in the meantime” She told him as she grabs a Blank piece of Paper and lays it out in front of Warren.
Mayor max walks over and smiles. Suddenly Lady Lake comes back into the room and sits down at the table with them. She Teleports in a large sum of money onto the table.
“Here is your Reward Lady Thickmane” Lady Lake said with a smile, then proceeds to leave the building.
“Hang on before you leave can you bear witness to this please?” Zephyr asks her.
“Witness to what?” Lady Lake asked.
“I’m paying for his share of damage” Zephyr said while pointing over at Ryan.
“Since you over see the Kingdom of Tourterra’ s Treasury matters, and you are also royalty can you help notarize a Writ of Debt I am making ?” She asked with an Innocent smile.
“Absolutely” She said as she turned around and headed back to the table.
Garrison was just Starring at that big bag of money on the table and walks outside.
“Can’t you just deport me like you did Liz??” Ryan pleads to Warren.
“No, you’re not running away from me. Your going to be mine forever!” She said with a crazy look in her eyes.
Max picks up the piece of paper and starts writing a contract for her.
He writes for 3 minutes and then Reads the contract he made.
“The contract states That I, Zephyr Sentry Thickmane is Lending the Debtor Ryan Glasser Two hundred Thousand Gold for Property Damage against the City of Staug, and in doing so he will be Released into my Care under Indentured Servitude. The Debtor will be required to stand by Her and work for her for 5 years, or until the Debt is payed back in full. Failure to comply will result in a Writ of Bodily Attachment to be carried out against the individual resulting in Search, Arrest, and Punishment no matter what Territory or Kingdom he is in, Except the Federation of Palmlandia where this contract does not apply to with accordance of International Law” He read out loud.
“Does that sound good?” He asked her.
“Yes, is does Max!” She said seeming Happy and cheerful.
“Please do not do this to me! I am not Signing that thing!” Ryan shouts while crying in torment.
“You sadly have no choice, Signature or not, you did unintentionally caused damage to infrastructure in my Kingdom. Staug is one of MY cities, and I over see the protection of all assets in it. I need payment for damages, so I am hereby ordering your Consent on behalf for you” Lady Lake said while signing the Document. Followed by Warren and Mayor max signing the document.
Lady Lake then takes a stamp that was in her pocket and makes it official.
“I hear by Declare you Ryan in her Debt, you may now kiss….” Warren said while interrupting his Speech.
He smiles in embarrassment and shakes his head.
“Sorry wrong Speech” He said Apologetically,
“I hear by now pronounce you Ryan; Zephyrs Indentured Servant. You may now go forth and settle matters among yourselves” Warren said proudly.
“Wrong Speech my Ass! You just Married us you Asshole!” He screamed while Terrified and Crying.
Ryan lets out a scream and bangs his head on the table.
“I’m Her Pet now!!!” He cries hopelessly and starts Crying
Zephyr gets up and reaches her hand into his pocket and pulls out his phone.
“I Been waiting so Long to do this! She said as she puts on the song: “Blank Space” By Taylor Swift at the 0:34 mark and grabs his neck and starts licking off the tears off his face and starts singing to the song manically.
“Oh God NO She Discovered Taylor Swift!” Ryan Cries Hopelessly as she dances in Front of him.
He then Proceeds to slam his head in defeat on the table.
