Where the heart is

As Skyler thought about what might happen next, his body was jostled around when Rodovar rotated his shoulder several times. "So, where to? I would like to set Skyler down and head back home as soon as possible. After what happened." He grumbled before continuing to speak. "It's clear I have some training to do." It was at that moment that Skyler heard Daiki's soft purring from nearby. "Mm, I'd prefer it if you didn't go." He could hear that purring sound moving closer as she continued to speak. "We can even train together if you'd like. How does that sound?"

Rodovar let out a quick puff of air from his nose, likely with a smirk on his face. "That could be fun. But do you think you can keep up with me?" Daiki's purring grew louder. "Mm, I'm up for the challenge." Skyler felt his elevation drop, likely from Rodovar's body stooping for some reason or another. However, he also heard Daiki's purring sound growing closer to him. Shortly after, a soft kissing sound was heard. "It'll be like when I took care of that big dick of yours." Emily let out a soft sigh. "Not everything is about sex, Daiki." Before Emily could say anything else Daiki interrupted. "True, but you might think otherwise when you finally get some."

That sarcastic comment left Skyler feeling slightly confused. 'Is Daiki saying that Emily hasn't been with a man before?' As this thought ran through his mind, Emily let out a soft sigh. "I've had sex plenty of times. You don't need a man to have sexual experience." Daiki's purring grew even louder, which was impressive. "Yeah, playing with someone's pussy and an array of sex toys is fun. But, it isn't the same as having a big, hot, hard, and throbbing dick inside you. Trust me, it feels amazing when it knocks at the entrance of your womb! ♥"

There was a short pause before Emily sighed a bit louder. "Ugh, if I wanted simple sexual thrills I can use my vibrator or one of my many fuck buddies to satisfy those needs." Skyler felt his elevation rise again, softening the sound of both Emily and Daiki. Daiki spoke first. "Yeah, but it isn't as fun. Trust me." Daiki started to giggle, tripping over some of her own words as she continued to speak. "Mm, maybe. Just maybe, you can convince Skyler to play with you. I mean, he's a shapeshifter and I know th.."

Skyler didn't hear Emily move, but she was suddenly closer. Within the same moment, she had done something to silence Daiki. "Don't you dare finish that sentence." Skyler's attention was drawn to Rodovar as he said the following words under his breath. "Too bad Skyler is missing out on this. This isn't even about me and I'm a little excited." A soft cracking sound grabbed Skyler's attention. He was pretty sure it was coming from Emily's feet or heel. "Come on, we're almost to base. You two can do whatever you want once we're there."

Daiki giggled. "Good!" Immediately after, her purring deepened. Skyler had a feeling that she was feeling frisky. Luckily, Rodovar was clearly up to the task. This took a back seat in his mind when the scent around him suddenly changed from the stale air of the city to that of a meadow. Before he had a chance to wonder what had happened, a pop up appeared in the center of the darkness.

You have entered an Illusion Barrier: Shady Seven's Glade

You may enter and exit at will.

Current owner: Shady

As Skyler read this new information, he became curious as to who Shady was. There were several possibilities, an elf, druid, dryad, ranger, centaur, lamia, or other creature of the forest. For all he knew they could simply be someone who enjoyed the clean air and feel of the forest. Emily's voice caught his attention at this moment. "Set him down here. Shady has informed me that she will take a look at him for us." Rodovar came to a stop. "Really? Huh, I didn't hear anything. Wait, you don't mean... Do you seriously want me to lay him on the ground? Won't that make his condition worse?"

Daiki's purring suddenly came to a stop. "He'll be fine. Shady can do more for him out here." However, she hugged Rodovar. Skyler knew this because her arms brushed lightly against his legs. "She's just a private person. Come on, let's go inside. The sooner we go in, the sooner she can help him." Rodovar sighed. "Hmm... Okay, fine." Skyler was slid off of Rodovar's shoulder and carefully placed upon a cool bed of grass. "Get better soon. I can't have you dying on me when I still owe you for these clothes." Rodovar's score ticked up to 5. Skyler felt a few large finger tips touch the top of his head. "Until then..."

Skyler could hear the grass underneath their feet being crushed as they walked away. This was followed by an eerie creaking sound, likely from a door as it was opened and shut. His breathing slowed as he focused his attention on the current debuff applied to him. Although it had felt longer, it showed that it had only been fifteen minutes since they had left the mana factory. This left him with a little under seven hours and fifteen minutes left before his full body paralysis would wear off. He let out a slightly heavier breath as he thought. 'If only they knew I needed potassium... Ugh, stupid paralysis.'

Skyler's attention was pulled away from his thoughts upon hearing heavy steps nearby. After a few more seconds, it was clear that these steps were being made by a large animal. As it drew closer, he was pretty sure it was a horse. If that was the case then this place must be fairly large. Why else would there be a horse here? His suspicions were shattered when he heard a fairly large body sit down beside him followed by warm, delicate hands touching his cheeks. This was quite a surprise, he didn't hear anyone dismount that horse. Just what was going on?

The silence was broken when a soft woman's voice began to speak. "Oh good. I don't sense any foul magic upon him." Skyler's attention was drawn to her hands. They were just so soft and warm. For a mere second, he wondered if he had died and gone to heaven. Of course, he knew he wouldn't be so fortunate. However, this woman's voice was rather soothing. While distracted, he heard her whispering words that he just couldn't make out. Upon completion, his debuff's timer changed from seven hours and ten minutes to a mere five minutes. Surprisingly, it felt like a giant weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

Skyler clearly heard a soft sigh. "I am sorry. It looks like I could only relieve some of your plight. Hopefully you will awaken soon." There was a soft giggle before she happily sighed. As Skyler listened to her, he began to wonder what this woman looked like. He felt her fingers gently running through his hair. It was clear as day that she was a good person. He felt lucky to have been put in her care. However, he couldn't help but wonder what she looked like. What would his eyes behold when he could finally gaze upon her? Was she a centaur, elf, or minotaur?
