User blog:Coboltcanid/My MGE Story Ch. 1

This my story for this wiki's setting and here is a link to the wattpad where I post these first.

“It’s going to be weird without you guys on the front lines,” said Commander Gustaf, a stereotypical grizzled-looking man. “I mean you two were raised by this platoon after all”. “We’re going to miss the platoon,” Ingrid said sadly. “We’re not going to be gone for long,” I said. “We’re only going to be gone while my leg and your wing heal”. “And besides once a dragoon always a dragoon these injuries won’t hold us down for long”.

“Also we haven’t been outside of the barracks all that much (not counting missions) so maybe we’ll be able to find ourselves a house or maybe get some land for when we’re off and build our own” Ingrid said. We continued to talk for a little bit after that when the commander remembered something. “Hey Alex, Ingrid,” Gustaf said. “There is an inn that I know of called the drunken satyr run by of course a satyr that has not only the best wine but amazing service”. “Ooh wine, what's that?” Ingrid asked. “It's a type of alcohol made with fermented grapes and other ingredients,” I replied. “I’ve heard that it has a unique taste though. Anyway though it's getting late so we should leave,” I said.

“Alright, see you later” Gustav replied. And so off we went to the drunken satyr to spend however long it would take us to heal. When we got there we decided to get a room and “rest” for the night. While laying in our bed we looked at each other, and Ingrid asked “Do you remember when we fell in love?”. “Of course I do, it was during the first training session we had together. We were both trained and raised by the platoon, but while you trained in aerial combat I was trained in horseback as well as both archery and knife fighting.” I said with nostalgia.

“When I saw you flying so majestically I finally realized how beautiful you are. Your emerald green scales and your beautiful white hair entranced me ” I said lovingly. “I fell in love with you when despite how I treated you at first you were still willing to work with me and even decided to hang out after training” she responded lovingly. With that, we fell asleep. The next morning we got up and when we were about to leave to check out the marketplace we were stopped by a woman with goat legs and horns wearing a sort of suit cape hybrid one piece with the middle open showing her chest with black hair and fur. “Hello patrons my name is Roditis and I am the owner of this fine inn,” she said with a smile. “Hello Roditis I’m Alex and this is Ingrid”.

“Hello, nice to meet you,” Ingrid said. “Is there something you need?” I asked. “No, I just make it my business to meet all my patrons mainly to look for a handsome guy to become my husband”. “Oh really,” Ingrid said, who was defensive all of a sudden. “Well, then good luck,” I said. “Hey Alex let's hurry and go explore the marketplace,” Ingrid said hurriedly.

“Alright let's go see you later Roditis”. “See you later” she replied. On the way to the market, Ingrid explained to me that satyros are playgirls who love men and so I should be careful because she might try to seduce me. At the market we looked at some of the food stalls and found out that apparently, Ingrid loves candy, so we ended up buying some for later while I just got some dried meat. On our way back from the market we came across a kobold who was asking for food.

She was just barely covered by her light brown and cream fur and had dog-like ears. She looked to be around our age and in need of help so we went over to talk to her. “Hello, what is your name?” I asked. “Aili” she responded, “I’m here to try to get food for my family. Would you be willing to donate some food?”. Not wanting to disappoint her I decided to give her some of my dried meat and Ingrid decided to give her some of her caramel.

With that, we left and went back to the inn since it had gotten late. When we got back Roditis greeted us and said enthusiastically “Hey Alex, Ingrid have you guys ever had wine?” “No, why?” Ingrid asked. “Well because today is not only a holiday to honor Bachus, but also to me finding a husband. So not only are more satyros besides myself and the staff coming but more attendants in general since we serve the best wine.” “So I was wondering if you guys would be willing to help with the preparations?” she asked. “Sure, no problem” I responded. “Good. So Alex can you help the others set up the tables and everything. Ingrid while he does that do you think you can come to the back with me and help bring out the wine?” “Sure” Ingrid responded. While they went to the back I helped with the preparations.

While I was doing the preparations Ingrid and Roditis came out from the back. I saw that Ingrid had a look I couldn’t quite decipher like she had a mix of pride and something else. Roditis on the other hand she came out with a satisfied look on her face. I decided to ask Ingrid what happened after the celebration since I was still doing preparations and it was almost time for the party.

After the preparations were done and the party was going well with everybody including Ingrid and I pleasantly intoxicated Roditis announced “I just want to say that I want to thank you all and Bacchus for supporting me in my quest to find a husband. So to celebrate and to honor Bacchus let us drink and be merry!”. With that, we all went back to partying and when I asked Ingrid what happened she slurred “I’ll tell you tomorrow...”. After that, we decided to go back to drinking, and the next thing I knew I woke up between both Ingrid and Roditis! “Holy shit what the hell happened!” I exclaimed, “Oh God I slept with another man's wife! What's going to happen, how am I gonna explain this”. As I was panicking I heard them wake up with yawns and stretches.

“Oh morning honey” they both said. “Wait… what the hell is going on?” I asked, “Don’t you have a husband Roditis and Ingrid, I thought monsters wouldn’t let another woman sleep with their husband?”. “Oh, that's normally what would happen”. “But on rare occasions, multiple monsters can fall in love with one man and will form a harem” Roditis finished. “Wait, that makes no sense. Based on the little I know I could've sworn that monsters can sense whether a man has a husband or not and that will deter most” I replied. “Now that you mention it I didn’t sense anyone on you,” Roditits said quizzically.

“By the way, before I forget, how the hell is this going to work, especially once we're back to work?” I questioned. “Yeah we should figure that first, so let's put that away for now” Ingrid responded. Meanwhile, while we were figuring out what we're going to do a certain kobold returned to her home. “Hey everyone I’m back!” Aili called. “Welcome back” Danica the kikimora replied gently “how was your trip?”. “It was fun and I was able to get some dried meat and caramel from everyone!” Aili said. Then two loud voices yelled, “WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO!”. It was Cecilia the werewolf and Morgan the hellhound. “How many times do we need to tell you that we will handle the food!” Cecilia said. “We told you guys to stay here to stay safe!” Morgan said.

“I wanted to do something since you guys hunt and Danica keeps this play perfectly clean” Aili responded sadly. “Anyway though I found something even better than meat and candy.” “And what's that,” they all ask. “I have found my master!” Aili exclaimed happily. As she said that everyone went silent for a couple of seconds and then started shouting “WE FINALLY HAVE A HUSBAND!!!”. After everyone had calmed down they decided that the best course of action would be to observe him and see what kind of a person he is before they marry him.

Back at the Drunken Satyr, Ingrid, Roditis, and I had decided that for now, they’ll continue to live at the inn. That day we decided to go out and look at the marketplace some more. Once again we got caramel for Ingrid, dried meat for myself, and some more wine for the inn. On the way back we came across Aili again. “Hey Aili, how are you doing? How's your family?” I asked.

“We're doing ok. Also, everyone enjoyed the food you gave us,” she replied. “I’m glad,” I said, “Have you met Roditis by any chance?”. “No I have not” she responded. After some introductions, Roditis suggested that we all go back to the Inn so we can talk more. At the Inn, we’re all talking when Ingrid asks Aili to tell us about her family. She happily obliged telling us about Morgan the charcoal-colored hellhound, Cecilia the red-headed werewolf, and Danica the kikimora. She also explained that they’re overprotective of her so that's why Morgan and Cecilia hunt and Danica cleans while she doesn’t do anything, but she finally convinced them to let her help.

“How about you invite them to come over here next time?” Roditis asks. “Thanks for the invite, I’ll think about it,” Aili responded. With that, the day ended and when we went to sleep and Aili left, Roditis fell asleep and Ingrid told me what they were talking about last night. “So the reason why I was acting weird was that Roditis told me about her feelings towards you. You see the thing about mamano is that our bodies change for those we consider our husband. When that happens it’s almost impossible to change and when I heard that she loved you I was both proud and jealous.” she said. “Why is that,” I asked. “Because every mamono sees their husband as the best person in the world, so I was proud that someone else saw your amazingness,” she answered.

“Thank you so much,” I replied lovingly, “but I don’t know if I can reciprocate her feelings since I love you. I mean I can lust after both of you since I’m a horny bastard, but, love I don’t know if I can do that.” I said sadly. “Don’t be like that” Ingrid responded lovingly, “I know we’ll find a solution.” “Thanks” I responded. With that, we went to sleep. During the next month we saw Aili a couple more times, but not her family. After the month had ended both Ingrid and was healed and so we went back to the barracks where Commander Gustaf had a message for us.

“Good news,” he said, “You have been given a new role, it being a scout. From now on you will go and check out places we send you and we will pay for your lodgings there.”. “Wait what,” we asked. “We just got back,” Ingrid said “What's with this news?” she asked. “Don’t know” he replied, “All I know is that you are going to be sent to investigate an order compound near the ocean”. “Ok that's cool and all” I replied, “but what about Roditis?”. “Oh her,” Gustaf said “She has already been sent that same message and will be traveling with you.” “I’m sorry what,” I asked, “She isn’t part of the platoon and she has no fighting experience, so why is she coming with us?”.

“I don’t know either. All I know is that the very top has said that she can come with you if she desires because she is your wife” he answered “Now everything has already been prepped so get on the wagon and go”. With that, we all got into the wagon and left the Inn behind. It would take us a while so we would have to make camp. That night as we were setting up camp and everything I noticed we had a surplus of camping supplies. Thinking that it was just because there were three of us I finished setting up the tent and we went to sleep.

The next day we wake up and see that some of our food is missing. Because of this, I decided to go and hunt for some food and when I came back the food was back. “Interesting,” I said, “Did you guys see anything?”. “No” they replied confused. We decide to ignore it for now as we pack up and get back onto the road.

“Why aren’t we flying?” Roditis asked, “Wouldn’t it be faster if Ingrid flew us in her wyvern form”. “It would be” I answered, “but we’re here for scouting and I can guarantee they’re watching the sky. So we’re going by wagon and going to camp in the forest near them”. “Alright,” she replied. We stopped to set up camp again when two figures walked out from the shadows. It was Aili and a woman I didn’t recognize. “Hey Aili!” we called out excitedly.

“What are you doing here?” I asked. “Well we’re here because my family and I wanted to ask you something, but you weren’t in town so we tracked you down” she replied. “If all of you tracked us down then where are the others?” Roditis asked. “And who's the lady next to you?” asked Ingrid. Aili introduced her friend as Danica the kikimora.
