Femesh Daer - Day 7
You get back up and return from the alleyway when you see Quan Chi once more. As you approach, you make no attempt to hide the burning hatred you have for him. You feel it like a thick blanket over your mind, numbing all other feelings and thoughts. Something deep inside your mind is calling out that this is not how you are, but that voice is getting harder and harder to hear.

Utarra - Day 7 - ~12:00

"Why do you think Calibeth City is the only city in the empire with smiths?" one of the diplomats asked Cybil. "Vala has, allegedly, got the best craftsmen in the empire, and that's where we're headed."
Another then chimed in, "Incidentally, Calibeth City isn't the largest city. One of the largest, yes, but not the largest."

Robin nodded to Cybil.

Quan Chi noticed the expression on Shara's face, but gave a smirk in response. "Now we head south, to find those spellcasters. They likely hold the artifacts. Do you know what cities lie to the south?"

"Last night? Oh ya, um..." Hillary replied, having to think for a moment what Anik was talking about. "No, that's just when slimes get all sleepy, we just kinda, puddle. Sorry I scared you..." Hillary said a bit self consciously.

South Eastern Road - Day 8 - 11:36

Needless to say, Hillary was very much stunned and excited by Anik's display. The cartwheels and other displays of carny feats was something she wasn't used to seeing, so seeing this was a real treat.

"That was really cool Anik! You did lots of spins and stuff and it was super neat! I wanna do something like that sometime!"

[color=9f2089]"Smiths who can make armor, is what I meant. I figure almost every town probably has a smith, but how many of them would need armor as opposed to just tools and stuff?"[/color] Cybil replied to the first diplomat. [color=9f2089]"But alright, might have a look around there if there's any downtime."[/color]

[color=9f2089]"Really? The capital city wasn't the largest? Then which one is?"[/color] She curiously replied to the second diplomat.

"It's no problem. I just wish I had known it." Anik said. She panted again, then stopped and added: "Can we stop for a moment? Now it is getting really tiring, talking and dragging this at the same time."

She took a deep breath, then said: "Well, my reaction also was an overreaction. I could just have asked Timea, before waking you. So - you get all puddly, and you can eat your own fingers and stuff. Say, do you know if are there things that can injure you? Just to be safe."

[hr]

South Eastern Road - Day 8 - 11:36

"Thanks!" Anik said with a big smile. "Well, I don't know if you can do that. It takes a lot of practice. But I can try to show how to do some of it to you, some time. Maybe a handstand?"

[color=0066cc]"I know of two cities to the south, a port city named Palladein and the capital city, Calibeth City."[/color] - You say, before thinking to yourself that there probably are other cities closer than that to the south. [color=0066cc]But I don't exactly [/color][color=0066cc]know that. I just know that there are a few villages and farms.[/color] You feel some satisfaction at this small undermining of your enslaver's plans. [color=0066cc]Not to mention that Calibeth City is probably just ruins by now, but I don't know that for sure either. I might have to follow his orders and answer his questions, but I don't need to tell him the whole truth just yet.[/color]

"Of course! That's why I said we should have a break Anik." Hillary replied, a little confused why Anik was now wanting to stop now after being asked earlier. "I didn't really think about it before, 'cause I don't remember Timea waking me up like that before." She said, sitting down wherever Anik had plopped herself down for her break. "Well, you can't share too much with other people, or you feel kinda icky... But you seem to get hurt a lot more and stuff. Idunno really." Hillary stated, not having a lot of experience being hurt from her own world.

South Eastern Road - Day 8 - 11:37

"I can do it, I've been doing lots of training stuff like Timea's been showing me, so I can definitely do it." Hillary boasted, feeling like she could definitely do it if she had the time.

"Yes, you were right. I thought I could do it for longer, but it seems you can judge what I can do quite well." Anik said.
"Sharing too much with other people? So that's what you call it? It's kind of adorable." she added, as she was sitting next to Hillary. "Well, I can not share parts of my body. I can get hurt quite easily, if I am not careful."

She thought for some time, then said: "But I noticed that you kept your distance when I was creating fires. Can fire hurt you?"

[hr]

South Eastern Road - Day 8 - 11:37

"Timea did train you? Well, let us see! I can teach you more, and Timea does tell me if you do the things right." Anik said, wondering if Hillarys slime body was able to do these tricks.

Quan Chi thought for a moment. "I doubt there would be a prison in a port. This other city is probably where they're being held then." He made another portal, to outside Calibeth, and stepped through.

"Well, Vala is controlled by the military. That's why we're heading there; if the royal family would go anywhere after the destruction of the capital, it's Vala." the first diplomat stated. "So, they can probably make armour."
"I think it's Meltha, or some other city in the central region." the second replied.

"Ya, stuff tastes much better when you eat it from someone else. But you gotta give them back stuff or else they don't got any and that's not good either." Hillary explained, looking from Anik to her hand. "I could share some with you too, but I don't think you eat dirt..."

"Fire's really spooky, I don't like it." Hillary answered, a notable amount of unease in her voice. "With all the new stuff here, fire is my least favourite. We don't got that back home, and that's a good thing."

[color=9f2089]"Certainly stands to reason."[/color] Cybil replied with a nod to the first diplomat.

[color=9f2089]"Alright then."[/color] Was all she had to say in reply to the second.

[color=9f2089]"They've definitely considered the chance of that. That's why they were reluctant to do so until we offered to protect them."[/color] She commented to Robin.

"Hmm. That's okay with me. Once we are closer to the city, I'll change back into that last form, so you can have a proverbial look", Timea answered Anik.

She cast an occasional glance down to Hillary as she talked with Anik, eventually chiming in. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Hillary. Before you try and do anything like Anik just did, you first need to get accustomed to running and jumping."

Calibeth City - Day 7 - ~02:00

When Quan Chi stepped through the portal, he would see Calibeth City looked relatively normal. The only obvious destruction was the collapsed temple and ground in the centre of the city. Most of the city was underground, meaning the destruction would be concealed. A single sandstone tree stood at the edge of a street, standing out among the dying vegetation.

Utarra - ~12:00

"Why do you think you're here?" the diplomat asked Robin.

"Awww, but Tiiiiiimea! That stuff's hard to do!" Hillary protested, feeling this running and jumping wasn't needed for a handstand. "I wanna do what Anik did."

Femesh Daer - Day 7
As much as you don't want to, you do not have a choice but to follow Quan Chi through the portal. Emerging on the other side, you look around to see that you are once again in the desert. [color=0066cc]I wonder where the others are now. If anyone could break me from this slavery it'd be them. And if they can't, they could at least kill me, which would still be an improvement. On the other hand, I'd maybe be forced to kill them...[/color]
