Chapter 15: Better Homes and Gardens.
My mind was fuzzy and my head was pounding, but man, were these pillows soft. “Mm” I try snuggling in deeper after all I was still tired. “I am very happy you are awake, and that you like the silk sheets but we do have work to get to.” At that comment I noticed I was firmly entrenched in a satin and silk mix of comforters and blankets. As soon as this registered in my sleep addled brain I shot up and was fully awake. “Good morning Doctor” Vellantha almost sang with a cheerful voice. “Uh yes, good morning Milady, sorry must have passed out” I quickly role out of bed and away from Vellantha who giggles and I realize I am in a completely different room from the one I woke up in the first time we’d met.
“Whe…

Chapter 14: Time Lord, Traveler, Soldier, Doctor.
Once we were all agreed Wendalia and Yumika moved to take their positions and I began an all-out sprint like a bat out of hell. After reaching what I presumed to be adequate distance between myself and the city I began to scream for help to add to the theatricality of the moment and give my act some credibility. “Help me!” “Please help!” Callia on my instructions had waited for two minutes before giving chase and was now pursuing me at a steady run or slither in her case. The Order Knights reacted to my overblown performance exactly as planned. As soon as they’d seen me they had begun a full gallop in my direction yelling things like “Worry not civilian ye shall be saved from the clutches of…

Chapter 13: Misplaced Anger, and an Ill Advised Attack.
As we continued to walk Vellantha would point out restaurants, bookstores, and shops along our route. The relative calm of our walk was shattered by three women in full Armor running up to us and in one case slithering. “Your Ladyship… and your Lordship” the lead woman stuttered out after seeing Lilith “What is it?” Vellantha asked quickly “A band of Order Knights are riding towards the main gates we believe they were separated from their garrison as they seem disorganized. Lilith seemed perfectly fine letting Vellantha handle the situation; I suppose it was her realm after all and she was an experienced tactician. “How far away are they, and how many strong?” Vellantha changed immedia…

Chapter 12: Grand Tour.
Vellantha seemed to be trying to stop herself from saying something while the Demon Lord regarded me with an almost happy expression. “So you’ve had different forms, do they all look like this” Vellantha gestures to me. “Yes, I always look similar to this, sometimes I have a new hair color or a different nose but over all this is what I look like.” With that the Demon Lord claps her hand together startling Vellantha and I from staring at each other. “Right, now that my questions are out of the way how about you take a tour of the castle grounds with us?” She motions towards the door. I let Vellantha go ahead of me and waited for the Demon Lord to do the same. “Go ahead madam” “Thank you Doctor, and please call me Lili…

Chapter 11: Two Lords and a Cross Examination.
Vellantha moves towards Lyda faster than I would have thought possible. “What exactly did she say Lyda?” Vellantha looks down on the other woman with surprise. “Her Lordship said for me to fetch you and your visitor immediately, your ladyship, she is in the main hall” Lyda looks scared. I move from the balcony to stand next to Vellantha “Well you heard Lyda; she said immediately, I think it’s best we don’t keep her ‘Lordship’ waiting. She sounds rather important.” “You’re right Doctor, please follow me.”
With that Vellantha leads me out the door of the room and down several exquisite stone hallways lined with beautiful paintings, tapestries, and assortments of displays. Vellantha certainly has …
