New skills.

You go to the middle of the camp. You can still hear Liz's moans from here, it sounds like she's suffocating with something inside her throat, but you know better, and you know she'll be fine.

You sit on the ground and concentrate on your new poison. It would be wise to have, or at least know, an antidote. You focus on its composition and try nullifying it with different combinations of different herbs and substances. But after a while you, somehow, receive your answer magically. You check the contents of the mysterious recipe, and it works perfectly, even healing smaller wounds to some extent. Someone's watching, and meddling with your affairs.

You try detecting who did it, and how they did it but you can't find anything. You decide to lure this individual into showing itself again, and you begin trying to create the antidote to the Special Sap. They bite it. Instead of checking the recipe you immediately grab the magical line leading to your benefactor. When you do so your mind is pulled into another space, distant from you, but easily accessible.

Looking around, it's like you're under some kind of purple water. You can't see the ground or the sky, even though everything is well illuminated. The only thing you see is, in front of you, a naked woman. Her hair is as white and shiny as her skin is dark and smooth. Her eyes and mouth are closed but you can see a light coming from below her eyelids and lips. Her breasts are small but perfectly shaped. Her hips are wide, but not like someone that had many children. She's visibly surprised by you being here, perhaps even angry.

"What are doing on the other side, demon?" she says agressively, without opening her mouth or eyes. Just to be careful, you use Combat Analysis on her. Your mouth opens in surprise when you see it:

Amari

Goddess - lvl 200;

Difficulty: Easy;

Status: Healed; Angry; Scared; Known Battleground; Shield of Purity;

Weaknesses: Friendly Fire;

Resistances: All Enemy Damage;

That's underwhelming... She becomes even angrier and screams at you, still having her eyes and mouth closed "YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR WORDS, FILTH! YOU'RE IN THE PRESENCE OF AMARI, THE GODDESS! I will not tolerate such disrespect! Who sent you? What is your purpose?" She's not as powerful as you thought she'd be, IF she was real. That resistance, though, that's a problem. After a few moments of silence, she approaches you and you feel her trying to use a mind control spell, but it obviously fails. She backs off in surprise, but continues her arrogant discourse "You're the vermin that has been tainting my protegee. I will NOT tolerate that. You are headed to my Pond, but I want you to turn your back and return to the hole where you came from, or you'll face consequences worst than ****!" saying that, she makes a movement with her hand, which sends you floating through the water.After being thrown away, you see a hole opening behind you, and you fall through it. As soon as your body crosses the hole, you wake up back in the camp as the sun rises.

In front of you is Liz, smiling while looking at you from a distance. She's fixing her equipment, getting ready to leave. By your side you see Torr, with his hand over your shoulder. It looks like he's been trying to wake you up for some time now. He says "Good morning, Dandelion. Finally. Thought we'd have to drag your sleeping body with us" Liz laughs before yawning and going into her tent. Torr gets ready to hunt, grabbing a few arrows and his trusty bow he says to you "We'll eat something then leave in less than one hour, I recommend you get ready to leave before I return so we don't lose any time. Also, wake Jen up, she didn't get up yet and might be hungover - you know how lightweights are, haha". He turns around and walks away. Before he's out of sight, you curse him with a Hunger Curse. Yesterday was an easy hunt, so today he'll have to work hard for it.

You don't move for some time, wondering what you're going to do about Amari. She's weak, but as long as she sees you as an enemy you'll have no chance against her resistance. You see the healer leaving her tent and walking towards Jen's. She looks at you for a moment before smiling and looking to the ground, timidly. She goes into Jen's tent to the lying priestess. Jen didn't get properly dressed to sleep, her breasts exposed by her open armor, and Liz kneels besider her sleeping lover. The healer, feeling daring tickles the priestess' nipples with her soft fingers, making them quickly harden. Liz plays with her breasts for some time, until Jen wakes up, scared "L-LIZ! What are you doing?" she says loudly in surprise while covering her breasts and moving away from her harasser.

"I was just, you know, fooling around? Why are you being like this?" she's disappointed at the priestess' reaction.

"I was sleeping! That's not a nice thing to do, that's wrong!"

"No, I- I know! But I mean, I thought it would be ok...I'm sorry, babe..."

"Don't you 'babe' me, just- just leave me alone a bit, please?"

Liz is hurt at her words, but does as she was asked to. When the healer leaves the tent she looks at you and gives a small 'I fucked up' smile before walking to her own tent.
