Across The Dark Forest, No One can hear you Bleach

I apologize for my disappearance.

The dark forest nature surrounds them completely. You lead the way, carrying a torch that lights the path in front of your group. You wear a cape and your armor below, trusting that old plate protection could save you from any surprise on the way. Fortunately, nothing had put them in trouble for now. Fiona and Merida were tough girls, with their muscle bodies, the two redheads could easily defend themselves against any threat, while also looking good for their master.

"Master, May I Ask you something?" Fiona asks, wearing a thin leather vest, with a neckline that lets her the sides of her large breasts breath.

"Mmh? What Is it, Fiona?" You ask as your hand lies on the pommel of your sword. You have to be prepared for any unpleasant surprise that the forest has prepared for the group.

"Why did you bring her?"

They turn around and see Rapunzel walking across a path of vines. She carefully tries not to trip and fall, with Merida keeping an eye on her, notoriously annoyed by the presence of the blond girl. She also had to cut and make her hair, not that long, now only reaching to her cute bubble butt.

"She's a total newbie, I know that we both lived in a tower for a good chunk of our lives... But come on, Rapunzel will delay us" Fiona whispers to him.

Fiona is right, you thought. Rapunzel wasn't as experienced as the other ladies, well, she didn't have experience at all with the outside world. Even Fiona at least knew how to fight, But Rapunzel was a mommy's girl. The blonde girl had been curious about the surrounding world since the moment she left the tower, being amazed by the dark forest... Which had delayed them a lot. Truth is, you thought of bringing her along with them because of her healing ability, yet, her presence had proven to be jarring for the rest of the girls, who show a more serious presence.

"It's too late to turn back. Sorry, but she will be in our group for the moment, her healing ability is very useful to make her aside." you say as you look at Rapunzel, who had been looking at some eerie looking trees and hiding behind Fiona every time even the smallest of sound cracked around.

Yet, you also needed to have Rapunzel here with you to secure Gothel's loyalty to you. You had broken her mind, but you still didn't fully trust her, so having Rapunzel with you could discourage her from betraying him. You trust on Chel to prepare the rest of the girls to behave better when he comes back. Next time, you will have a more balanced group.

After a while, they reach an abandoned looking town. It seems to have been centuries since the last time someone had been in that place. You walk in the front, with the girls behind you. Rapunzel completely shivering as she walks behind Merida and Fiona, who don't show it, but also seem disturbed regarding the aura of the town.

"Well, I doubt that we will find something useful here" You say, kicking a rock from the ground. "The map also didn't show this place. Must be an ancient place"

"We should continue moving. We still a lot to travel if we want to reach Malefica's Castle" Fiona declares "My lord, are you sure you aim to drive your conquest towards her?"

"Are you questioning my words?" Your judging stare lies on the red-hair ogress.

"No, but this witch could be dangerous, and we do not have magical protection against her"

"The ogress is right" Merida says. "I mean, we are pure muscle... Which is not bad, but if we encounter a sorceress, it could be difficult to defeat"

You sigh. The girls are right. While you would have a lot to quickly barge into Malefica's territory and defeat her to have a powerful ****, your confidence wouldn't be enough to submit her. Your plans had to change immediately.

Still, it's up to you to choose... Risk it all, or be wise and change your plans.

I will do my best to update more regularly. Have a pleasant day, every one.
