Seek out the treasure.

The adventure begins at last. As the island isn't large, all is left on the beach for now except for the swimsuits on your bodies, and everyone's individual weapons. Ariusia, who is already ahead of the rest, doesn't actually have any weapons with her, though she does carry natural ones extending from her back.

Niki, however, grabs her mace and shield, which looks strange yet very entertaining given what she wears with it. Now you truly behold all dimensions of her character. She stands proud, armed and ready to fight, yet still looks beautiful with a flower in her hair, and a masterfully crafted one piece swimsuit. She may not even know how good she looks, especially now that her mind is focused on questing again. Once she has a goal in mind, she doesn't think about much else. There's a spark in her eyes, and a grin on her face. She's ready for adventure.

Amara grips her silver staff. It matches perfectly with her pale pink bikini. Perhaps it's the revealing shape of her wardrobe, but there's something erotic about seeing her stand as she does while grasping a metal pole beside her. You don't know if it's on purpose or not, but she caresses her fingers so delicately, yet so firmly, up and around the shaft of the staff. She waits waits patiently for the others to prepare as she stands with one foot up against her long, slender leg, and brushes a finger idly along the curve of her choker.

Eva carefully bends over to find her wand, granting you quite the view from behind. Her slingshot bikini is already risqué, but at such an angle, she appears almost naked for a moment. She then stands up once gain with a brown wand holding a pink crystal tip. She looks around herself, observing the others, as she taps it against her lips. Then she caresses it down her neck, and keeps it rested between the cleavage of her barely covered tits. Truly she could stow it away in there, and nobody would see any portion of it remaining, but the strength of her tits may snap the wand in two.

That's just your imagination running wild, however. Nobody can blame you though. With all this visual stimulation, it's no wonder Fang was going a bit mad before. These are at least mostly girls you've been intimate with a number of times, new girls aside, though their presence is never lacking. Every time you gaze upon them, it's like the very first time again.

Luna has no weapon, so she remains behind many of the others, and closer to you. The same goes for Peony and Meti as well.

Fang rolls up beside you with a small scabbard tucked into her bikini bottoms, against her hip, which holds one of her daggers. "Honestly, I think I'm even more flexible dressed like this. Maybe I shouldn't wear anything else anymore. I can fight crime, and look sexy at the same time. Maybe that's why Lalarin wears such tight spandex."

Alice's body is a weapon. She's just fine. Vodrani as well, though she actually carries Tom's blade and quiver for him, while he holds the bow. It was her idea.

The last to join is Anastasia. She grasps the shaft of her mace nervously as she steps forward, mumbling to herself. "Th-This is not becoming of a lady. How in the name of L-Lasis am I meant to fight dressed like this?" But she does eventually compose herself to at the very least follow the group.

As for you, Lauo remains unsheathed in your hand. The enchanted metal glows pink as it picks up on your link to those around you, but also certain feelings of warmth coming from many other others--perhaps all. Though a decent portion of it may be coming from Fang alone. Before you set off, however, Peony approaches with its scabbard in her hands, much as Vodrani does. It seems she noticed what they were doing, and now she insists in playing squire.

Soon you find yourself in the little glade where all the girls were changing. It's a lovely patch of grass flat between the trees. While the trunks do grow closer together the deeper you venture forth, it never becomes enough to even dim the sun, and you sound of the ocean is always present. There's no need to slice through thick foliage either, as Peony clears the way. She steps forward, and all the plants heed her unspoken whispers. She parts the sea of green.

"Hey Luna," you speak up. "When you flew up, what exactly did you see?"

"Mostly the tops of trees," she answers. "And the opposite end of the island, which didn't have much. I couldn't see everything, and nothing that would make me think of a legendary diamond."

Eva fumbles behind. "P-Please not so quick," she mutters, desperately holding onto her swimsuit as she steps over rocks and roots. "Please," she begs.

You look back at her with a smirk. "You can hold my hand if you'd like," you say as you offer the gesture forwards.

"I think I sh-should keep my hands free."

You purposely allow your stare below her neck to linger, then you flick your gaze back to her eyes. You watch as she blushes. "I think it's a great look," you say. "Truly befitting a noble mage. Just think of people like Lady Sulta."

Just as you notice a smile curl up from her lips, your attention is stolen by the voice of Ariusia.

"Come on. Let me lead the way, dryad. I'll clear it faster," she says.

Peony shakes her head. "Worry not! I can easily create a path forward. And we should be careful--"

"Watch this move. If I twist my back like this, and tense my muscles, I can spin around and carve through these trees like they're nothing."

"No. Bad. You'll hurt someone, like m'lord."

"Eh. He'll be fine. Here I go--Ack!" Before she can do as she said, vines from nearby trees suddenly grab her body. They snake around her chest, and between her legs, and just as swiftly as they appear, they tug her body tight, and in places she definitely didn't expect. Colour appears in her cheeks, and she gasps as she's taken completely by surprise. "Ah, aah! Wh-Why there? Gahh..."

Luna chuckles. "Shall I take to the air and see what's ahead?"

"Could you? That would be great," you respond, ignoring the mantis' pleas.

A cloud of glitter trails down from her wings as she flutters up into the sky. Hardly any time passes at all before she comes back down. "Ah. I see something odd ahead."

"Odd how?" Ariusia asks, brushing the vines off her as they loosen.

"Well, it's something that I swear I should have seen before. There's a sort of dome, or barrier. It isn't massive, but it would be enough to cover the glade we first traversed. There's not much of an opening in the trees. It seems we're coming upon the center of the island as well, where it's become more of a forest. I can go closer if you'd like, though I feel nervous."

"No. You stay close," you reply. "Come on, everyone. Let's approach cautiously."

"Nobody's getting to any of you through me," Niki says, stepping up to march beside Peony. She holds her magic shield forward.

Ariusia hustles up and beyond. "We've got so many people, what's the point in slowing down? Let's just--Aah!" Once again she's silenced. Well, this time it's quite the opposite. Before she can rush on ahead of the group, Niki turns her shield on her, bathing her body briefly in a crimson glow. Even though it's only for about ten seconds, every moment of that light upon her body is even more intense than a rub to her clit. Pleasure rushes through every inch of her body. She falls to her knees, and lets out quite audible moans. "Ah, aaah~!" It seems she's unable to control it.

"... Oops," says Niki as she pulls the shield back. "Well, I guess if something's ahead, they know we're coming."

"At the very least, they know we're cumming," Fang says.

"That's what I said."

"No, because she--"

You place a hand upon the cat's shoulder and step foward--sword glowing even brighter. "Come on. I know we kinda set off the alarm there, but let's still be careful. There could be traps or other things, and if there's an enemy, I doubt they got much information from that. If anything, we probably confused them."

"... All according... to plan..." the mantis mumbles.
