After a few days, yes

The next morning caught you with all three girls waking up earlier and their chattering pulled you out from your own sleep. You didn't have an opportunity to listen to them however because Layla right away noticed that your breathing is different, and jumped on you armed with hugs and kisses. Soon after you moved out.

Next days met you with hit you with more of the same. You moved out in the morning, was trying to ride on Kelaras back, walked while trying to deal with Layla's advances, and Doris's arrogant assertions. In the evening you became their story teller, describing more and more wonders from your world.

"So your country was first called Thirteen Colonies, rebelled against your oppressors, then had this civil war to resolve your own issues, and became a great power after that." Doris summarised when you were talking about history of America. Of course you skipped all the racism, gun ****, the fact till only recently woman's were not considered equal, and so many other things.

"Simplifying, yes."

"I think it is wonderful that you get to learn all about your history. In our society you learn only as much as your role require from you. "Kelara stated. "For example I, as a scout knight, got a training in use of melee weapons, tracking, basic math, and land navigation. I know almost nothing about our history."

"All I know is from my mom! When we were still itty bitty spiderlings she told us what we need to know about everything."

"Fairies have no need for teachers. We are born with knowledge given to us from our makers. Although I do admit, human, that you told me about great many things I never heard about."

You smiled at that remark.

In the afternoon of the fifth day since meeting Layla, you passed a crossroads leading to the west, south and direction you came from, and Kelara reported that there are recent tracks ahead. Both she and Layla deducted based on smell and size of footprints that the group was going in the same direction and had around an hour of advantage over you. Whoever went through there left marked the soil with more than a dozen feet of all kinds. Small ones, hoofs, horseshoe, even a set of ones that made you think their owner is huge. But what made you really interested were prints of a standard issue boots, similar to the ones you had.

"I can smell a male. The stench is faint, and mixed with so many different scents, not pure like you, dear." Layla stated.

After a short deliberation and looking at the map you decided to continue on the same road as those other travelers. Taking a detour through the south would make you lose over a week of your planned route.

You marched on cautiously and before evening you smelled it first. Something spicy was being cooked hitting your nose from far away. Then you heard voices muffled by the sound of the forest. When the camp was finally at the edge of your sight range, you stopped, thinking what to do.

All three monster girls turned to you to make a decision of whether to try and move around it, or talk to whoever was residing in it.
