Chapter 61
She’d gained a new silencing ability or trait concerning the movents of her body, in addition to the elongating razor-sharp tongue she could now use as a weapon.
As he silently admired her new look. She dropped from the ceiling and sputtered a cough of irritation.
“Ugh! I can’t seem to get this shape shifting thing under control!”
Riven watched as she furrowed her brows in concentration, saw her nose began to shift slightly - but then it quickly reverted back to the normal, symtrical features she originally had a second later. “I’m sure you’ll get it under control soon enough. How do you like the changes?”
Athela brushed the silky black hair out of her eyes, hissing in irritation at the failure of her shape shifting, and stood to her full height while looking her new body up and down with her glowing red eyes. She turned around, looked at her backside, felt up her bare muscles and wiggled her eyebrows Riven’s way seductively. “How do YOU like them!?”
“Oh shut up!” Riven laughed and threw his cloak to nail Athela in the face, knocking her over as she screeched in protest and toppled over. It was obvious she was going to have a lot of coordination training to do before she got ahold of her new body, as a simple act like that would have never knocked her over while she’d still been a full-blown spider. “Put that on and stop playing around. We have to get out of the dungeon and I’m truly tired of being here.”
“Indeed!” Athela spluttered as she spun a cord of blood-webbing from her fingertips and launched them at Azmoth with a splat. “YUS! I STILL GOT IT BABY!!! You can keep the robe too, I don’t want it. I’M A FREE SPIRIT! Your mortal clothes can’t hold down! Oh, and Azmoth - I like the tail!”
“Thanks Athela. You look pretty.”
“How sweet of you to think so, Azmoth! I wish I got complints like that from our master, but he’s too busy eating people to realize perfection when he sees it!”
Riven stared blankly back at them, then sighed and shook his head. Despite her shenanigans, he was really glad to have her back. Sa with Azmoth. He’d missed them both, and he was looking forward to introducing them to his sister. He hadn’t told Azmoth or Athela about Allie just yet, but he was sure that they’d get along.

“Exit Dungeon.”
Light blood overhead and directly in front of him as he spoke the words aloud.
The portal erupted before them in the form of a set of translucent stairs leading up to a spinning vortex a couple yards above them.
This was it. He was finally getting out of here.
anwhile Athela cackled with delight and playfully nudged Azmoth before whispering sothing into his ear. Riven stared up at the spinning lights, pondering what was awaiting him in the next step of this strange adventure his life had beco, before the two demons abruptly picked Riven up and flung him into the portal headfirst even despite the profanities he threw their way before he was tossed unceremoniously upwards.

The portal created by the system erupted into the new world, violently expelling Riven and his two demonic minions from a height of six feet into the air and landing them on a wet, grassy hilltop.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not ant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Landing with a thud, Riven scowled and rubbed his head. He was still covered in blood, completely disoriented after the transition with a mix of warring emotions. On one hand he was delighted to hear that his sister and friend were alive! By god did that make him happy to hear! But on the other hand, the system had told him he’d be reunited after the trials were done… In his opinion he’d been cheated, as they were just ‘nearby’ and he still had to find them.
Frankly, the bastard system had lied to him. Or at the very least it’d only given him a half-truth. And why had it only talked about Allie? It didn’t ntion Jose at all.
Sitting up and letting his eyes adjust to the dim light, he noticed how much more comfortable his vision was when staring into the darker places across the landscape surrounding them – as opposed to when he looked up to the patches and rays of sunlight streaming down from the gray, cloud-covered heavens. It wasn’t that he couldn’t look that way, but it definitely wasn’t comfortable.
A light drizzle of raindrops was pouring down onto a temperate forest along the base of the mountain they stood on, and a valley was a little further down from their position. In that valley was what looked like a small city or large town depending on personal definition, but it was at least a couple miles away and hard to make out due to the rain.
