Enter The Dragon

Capturing Maleficent did indeed not take the remaining twenty-four hours. If I'd had Aggressive Negotiations it wouldn't have taken twenty-four minutes.

Apparently she had not had sex since she was betrayed and hid her desires behind an icy facade. But now her need to submit to me, sexually at least, was putting some serious cracks in it.

I could have taken both women right then, and was tempted, but I really wanted to make their first times special and as fun as romping around in the furs was with my girls special it was not. I could have looked for a portal to my apartment, this site was likely keyed to both of them, and used one of the bedrooms there, but the last time I had a Pocket Apartment it had taken its style from the location I first accessed it from and I did not want one that looks like a ruined castle thank you very much.

No, the girls could wait, we had other appointments here regardless.

While waiting on Maleficent's capture I did decide to have a semi-private conversation with Hilde. Semi, cause I knew Kat was listening in, even if I couldn't see her.

"So for one of the biggest bads of this region Maleficent sure seems to dote on Aurora."

Hilde nodded. "It is strange, of course even though she may not be classified as Fae anymore by your masters she still carries some of their traits. I think she may be bound by any vow she makes, even when seized by her legendary temper."

That did make sense. "And she seemed to hold Aurora's innocence in high regard, which I guess is also a Fae thing? So pissed off at Aurora's parents for being snubbed at the wedding, not helped by the other idiot faeries, she makes a vow of vengeance, later regretting harming an innocent in it but having **** in the matter."

"I think that's likely. Aurora even recognized her, called her Godmother, so she must have been around before the sleeping curse struck."

"And dedicated herself to guarding her afterwards apparently. Will definitely have to keep her temper in mind, but hopefully Aurora will be a calming influence. Hmm, more than that even. She made a vow, so long as I treated Aurora well she would give me no trouble."

Hilde looked startled. "Did she now? The gambit with your cat was far more effective than I thought it would be then."

A feral grin appeared in the air past Hilde's shoulder. "Doubt me, did you? I should give you a fetish for putting very large objects up your bum." Kat purred into the ravenette's ear.

"Kat..." I glared a warning.

"Ugh, you're no fun." She whined, then a disembodied tongue licked up the side of Hilde's neck before Kat's grin faded away.

Hilde grabbed me in a sudden hug. "Thank you. That would be... very unpleasant."

"Well I do have something you might like up your ass." I leered at my Queen, and she giggled.

.

Later, after nightfall, curled up with Hilde and Kat, my device chirped at me. New notifications. Maleficent captured and now I was a whole twenty-eight credits richer. That was certainly a nice chunk, eight from her capture alone and another twenty from rebates. Likely Trace Defense as I didn't have Mind or Destiny Defense yet. That was three tier six waifus now. Not bad for a tier one world. If I was lucky these girls would make at least the early worlds a cake walk, which was the idea.

And thanks to Maleficent and Body Runes, I now had access to dragon as a race. Werewolf had been nice, but if you can be a dragon, be a fucking dragon.

I thumbed over to my account under Body Runes and flipped the race selector over.

I felt an immediate surge of power, and my device chirped at me again. Several new pop-ups this time, I whistled loud enough to wake the girls. Holy fuck!

Hidden Quest found: It's Over 1000! Unlock a second Heritage bypassing Ancestral Diversity.

Hidden Quest complete! It's over 1000! Reward, 1 level of Ancestral Diversity.

What the hell?! That perk cost a fucking thousand credits, and a second Heritage? I quickly tabbed over to my Build and checked the Heritages. Dragon Heart (fire) was now listed. Changing my race to dragon counted as earning Dragon Heart? Holy fuck, that was worth another damn Eighty credits!

I flipped over to the Perk section in my catalog and went down the dragon section of Heritages, noting that my credits now stood at seventy. Rebates from Dragon Heart, I guessed. Hmmm. Nothing under Dragon Heart said anything about earning it without credits, so I kept looking. Not Scale or Aura. Aha! Thrall had what I was looking for.

If you have the Ancestral Diversity intensity modifier active, which I did, and another contractor has used this perk on you often enough to make you manifest draconic traits take Dragon Heart for free. I hadn't been thralled, but I did gain draconic traits. Holy fuck, what an exploit. If I was still beta testing I'd have to report this. Of course, it meant having a niche intensity toggle, and a first Heritage, and Body Runes, and capturing a dragon... Okay maybe not that much of a exploit but still. Two Heritages now, and one of the more expensive ones. Shit.

If I could save up for Dragon Scale and Treasure Hoard no more waiting a damn week for captures. That could be huge. I was already sitting at seventy thanks to all the rebates, another forty-five wasn't that bad.

I had a nice wish list going but didn't have anything I desperately needed just now. And a nice mostly safe world to collect credits in. Was this reason enough to hang around and bag more waifus instead of moving on when we got back to the castle?

I'd have to think on it. I assured Hilde and Kat that everything was fine, just exciting news, and settled back down with them in the camp bed. A clearer head in the morning would help, maybe talk it over with the girls? We'd have to see.

That night I dreamt of setting the Disney world on fire.
