Well, that was a mouthful

Zisho went to talk with her comrades while Fenvi walked over to Angelo and said. "Well, they certainly are a lively bunch." She moved a hand around his left leg and hugged it gently, looking up into his eyes and asked. "Can I assume that you were successful in taking care of the raiders?" He gently touched the top of her head with his right hand, running his fingers through her hair as he said. "With your help and Zisho's, yes." He let out a soft sigh before looking to Zisho and her comrades while continuing to speak. "There is a much bigger problem here and I honestly believe we will need their help to fight this foe."

Fenvi looked over to Zisho and her friends, nodding slightly before saying. "They do look strong, but why would they join us?" He chuckled before saying. "A common enemy makes for some unlikely allies. Hmm, but I am certain Slyka would approve of this alliance. Don't you think?" Fenvi looked up to him and said. "I am certain she would be happy to have more allies, especially with your recommendation. However, what will we offer them in return?" He moved his hand down along the back of her neck, gently caressing while he spoke. "They have lost their home, Fenvi. They will want a place to make a fresh start. Some place warm, safe, and worthy of protection. I think the village will be a great place for that new start, but first. I need to convince them of that."

Fenvi's mouth slightly gaped as she moaned, enjoying the feel of his touch. Her eyes closed before replying. "Mm, I see. I can't imagine anyone here would desire to turn down an offer from you, Master Angelo." He looked down to Fenvi, who was relaxing against his touch as he said. "I think it is a good offer, but I will find out what they think soon. If everything goes well, we can all head back to town together." Fenvi nodded before stepping away from Angelo and said. "This almost doesn't feel real. If someone had told me a few weeks ago that this would be happening. I would have told them they were crazy, but now. I feel like almost anything can happen." He smiled and started to walk towards Zisho's group while saying. "I know how you feel, Fenvi."

Khaxat began to look down as Angelo approached, Zisho, Daras, and Aerethe all turned to look at Angelo with a smile. Aerethe piped up and asked. "Is something on your mind, Angelo?" He tilted his head with a playful smile as he started to speak. "Yes, well, I have a question for all of you. I wish for you all to hear me out and consider this proposal carefully. I, I would understand if you wish to turn me down." Daras began to chuckle and said. "Out with it, man. It isn't like we are strangers, not after a fight like we had, right?" Aerethe and Zisho nodded, but Khaxat turned slightly to the left, however, his right ear slightly perked up.

Angelo couldn't help, but smirk and thought, 'I guess I was overthinking it.' before saying. "Well, there is a dark **** out there. I don't know who they are, or even what they want, but Fenvi, Slyka and I are working to stop it." Khaxat turned to look more in Angelo's direction as he continued to speak. "I know you have lost almost everything. Much like the people at Slyka's village." He let out a breath before looking to Zisho, Aerethe, Daras, and then to Khaxat and said. "But with your help, I truly believe we can push back and end this foe's tyranny." He looked over to Fenvi then back to them before saying. "It may not be a kingdom yet, but I can promise you this. The people there will work hard with you. It is a lively, warm, and stable place you can call home. All I ask for is your help in return."

Zisho looked to the others, receiving a simple nod in return before she looked to Khaxat. He looked down for a moment before asking. "Won't I be a liability? I mean, I was...used by the enemy once before. There is nothing that says it cannot happen again." Angelo walked closer to Khaxat, kneeling down while extending a hand to his shoulder and said. "Bad things happen, sure. But if we learn from it and improve nothing is impossible. Lying down and doing nothing would be your true enemy here." Khaxat nodded before looking up to Zisho and said. "I have much to atone for, but I won't take this lying down. I will move forward."

Angelo's optional bonus for his quest scratched itself off before Zisho said. "Well, we will be moving forward together, Khaxat. We still have many more adventures to see together." Khaxat nodded while starting to sniff the air, a few tears coming to his eyes. Daras grunted while lifting a brow and asked. "Khaxat, are you crying?" Khaxat shook his head, rubbing his eyes while saying. "What? No, there is just dust in my eye, a lot of dust." They all started to laugh while Angelo's quest turned itself in.

Angelo felt a small hand upon his left wing, Fenvi's voice started to fill the air as she spoke. "Are things almost done here? It looks like it will start to rain soon." He turned around slightly and nodded, saying. "We are done here, Fenvi. Let's head home." She smiled in return. Shortly after, they set out for Slyka's village.

During their trip, Angelo canceled his current form, reverting back to being human once more, after which he changed his equipment slots for his equipment set slots. Khaxat was the only one shocked by Angelo's change of form, but after a short explanation he understood that Angelo had several forms that he could switch to. Everyone was surprised about how he changed his clothing though. He didn't have a great explanation for it, but told them that it was a set ability to switch out his clothing quickly, which did make some sense to them.

Half an hour later, they arrived back at "Master Angelo's Haven". Needless to say, Daras poked fun at him for the name, but it wasn't like Angelo had named it that. After a short explanation by Fenvi, defending the name. Daras began to laugh and nodded before saying. "I understand, but that is still funny."

They were quickly granted an audience with Slyka at her home, who despite her desire to do so, did not rush over to hug Angelo. He gave his report about what had happened, explaining everything he could remember. Zisho, Khaxat, Aerethe, and Daras added in where Angelo could not.

After their lengthy explanation she nodded and said. "I see. So much tragedy has fallen over this land." She looked to Stard with a nod. He bowed his head before rushing off. "Stard will send a message to the people of Mellow's Wind to explain what has happened." She looked back over to Angelo and the others while continuing to speak. "Fortunately while you were out, we received a report with a possible lead on this foe. The people of Mellow's Wind have been reporting odd things happening on the mountain path just to the west of their town." She tilted her head slightly while continuing to speak. "I believe this was within the Dwarven mountains of Silver Rock. The report stated that before things went dark, they were a source of precious stones, minerals, and even impressive works of Dwarven craftsmanship."

She sighed softly, her eyes glanced down for a moment before lifting back up to gaze into Angelo's eyes. "I will send out several scouts to see if there is any validity to this report. Until we hear word. I suggest you all get some rest." Slyka turned her attention to Fenvi and said. "Fenvi, please take our guests to the guest house. We'll talk about more permanent arrangements tomorrow." She turned her attention to Angelo and said with a playful grin. "Don't leave just yet, Angelo. I need to talk to you a little longer." She looked to Zisho, Daras, Aerethe, and Khaxat and said. "I look forward to working with you all, but please. Relax and rest. There will be much to do and speak of tomorrow." They nodded before leaving with Fenvi.

Angelo wasn't sure what Slyka wanted to talk about, but given her grin. He was likely going to enjoy it. Hmm, but did she wish simply talk? Or did she just want some alone time with him?
