Home is where the hoard is

With your new protection of your weak point, and sapient clothing that seemed to want to toy with your junk for a bit, you had further business to take care of. But not out here in the open. Your tail snaked down a collected the boneless succubus of the ground as you looked around. “Alright, while the show doesn’t have to end, we do at least need a change of venue. Everyone through the portal.”

Leading the way you pas through the portal and into an what you can only describe as an idilic rolling plain with scattered forests and streams. In front of you is a castle on a small rise the castle is… well you hope a certain Australian sword, fantasy, and castle enthusiast didn’t mind you borrowing from his designs. The high walls and towers with multiple layers of interlocking walls and killing fields. You could see elements of the original elven work adding a swooping flair to the stronghold. Below the rise the castle sat upon was a walled town. The climate was reminiscent of southern France and you dug your claws into the soil you felt the rich dark earth give under your claws. You would need to import crops and livestock to this place.

The trip to the castle was relatively short given you could fly and a quick application of magic allowed you to easily carry your flightless companions with you. As you swooped in low to land at the gate house you announced yourself with a mighty roar that shook the doors of the castle. Marching up through the great gate you mentally kept track of how the castles presence would affect a new arrival. The thick main walls and their height above ones head would instantly creates a sense of weakness and how small they were in comparison. Through the entryway the wall tops and archer slits would make this a killing field. You mused on how this could be improved with magic. You glanced back to see how your companions were reacting. Elyria and Sephillia looked more amused than awed but you could feel there was honest appreciation of the structure. Sakura was at least impressed and was nodding in appreciation at the defensive structure. Nyxili and Jolka were both staring in aww at this fortification. Soon we reached the international gate and drawbridge. Striding into the main courtyard you took in your new fortress. Very nice very nice indeed. Another quick walk and you were throwing open the door to your new great hall. Where a thrown would be was a sort of wide plinth with cushions and padding on top. You also noticed a set of chains set into the plinth. A closer look showed the chains ending in carabiners. There was enough length on each chain to allow whatever was attached to move comfortably around and on the plinth and the raised section around it.

Filling the hall between you and your new seat was an army of elves. The blue tented skin and light hair matching your ice elf queen gave them away. You looked among the congregation as you walked up the center of the hall to your seat with an easy hop you cleared the distance from the floor to the top of your plinth. Landing gracefully you slowly paced around the padded space like a cat or dog. You take a moment to deposit Sephillia, who you had snagged by the waist with your tail as you jumped, in the middle on a convenient cushion before taking a sufficiently regal position lying coiled upon the top with your talons showing over the edge of the low pillar. You were clearly a lord upon his throne. Glancing around you quickly spotted most of your companions who were among the crowd. Now that wouldn’t do, you reached out with your mind and found the controls and several human sized thrones rose you looked and called “Celestine, Serrilda, Jolka, Brynhilder, Frunda take the seats at the edge of the podium. You are to be my talons the first defense that will guard and protect all of us. Jia, Bixi, Sofiel Azralynn, you will take the seats on the second level of the podium. You are my breath and magic to strike flows from afar and aid your sisters on the front line. Illenwyn, Yanmei, Sakura you wil take the seats against the plinth you are my advisors, generals and specialists. Elyria take the seat on the side of the pillar you are my executor and most powerful guard. Gromna, Taki, Nyxili you will join Sephillia within my coils after all a dragon is only comfortable when he can hold some of his hord within his grasp.” There is a moment of silence and then your companions move to there new positions, some more eager than others, as soon as you have a private moment you are going to have to sort this tangle of emotions, suspicions, and assumptions out before it can ferment into problems. You can’t imagine that women in a fancy world are still susceptible to the wants and needs of women in your original world.
