x wouldn't be a hard sell or any of the others, but I wasn't sure about Nixi. This was her idea, but she didn't seem the type to bend a knee, but she might surprise .
Everyone wanted off the island, and it wasn't like I would treat them any differently than I do now. So, the next thing to worry about would be Doa, but that would be coming sooner than later.
I was just coming out of the last path, so I started to slow as I jogged back to x's Keep. I was starting to feel exhaustion starting to set in, and I just wanted to get the girls settled in and then to bed.
It was still early, so I could probably sneak in before anyone noticed, but I was almost sure that one person would be awake.
As I jogged over the bridge, I hoped that I could make it to bed without an encounter with Lidy. she was going to be pissed at for missing out on making her eggs and the other stuff, but I was more than worn out at this point.
The courtyard of the keep was quiet, and I could see that the Apartnt block had stretched out a bit now. There was a building attached to the back of it that was fairly large, so I had to assu that Jilly had made that for the Sphinx.
"An interesting walk of sha, but I think you should be careful going inside. Lidy is in a mood, and it is best to let her calm down," x said as he appeared in front of for one.
There was a black line on his shoulder that wasn't there before, and I was curious to just how he got it.
"What is with the black mark?" I asked as Hydie let my head go from her barrier.
"The ogre and I had so words, and things got a bit physical, but I was able to get away. That isn't really important right now; this right here is far more than I expected in one day. How did you manage to get three girls in one day?" x asked curiously, and I sighed.
"Without any sleep, but I think that I may have stirred up so trouble out in the water," I said to x and then explained everything that happened.
As I explained, Hydie moved from to completely cover Missy. x put out his arms and took the two of them, but it wasn't like they weighed down.
"Really, Karen was waiting for you at the Barracuda village, and then you pissed off the Sea Witch? You have had quite a busy day! Mind you, with your power growing, there will be a lot of creatures and Demons that will want to take that for themselves," x explained as we slowly started to walk to the apartnt, and then I rembered sothing.
"So, I found out how I can get you all off the island," I said casually, and x stopped abruptly and turned to with an interested look.
"Do go on," x said with both of the girls in his arms.
"The voice in my head, Hero, he told that I could take you all with , but I would have to Kill Doa first, and then you will all have to pledge yourselves to . That ans that I will have full control over you, but I will not exert my control like a slave master. I know that this is easy to say now, but I think that you know the type of person I am," I explained to x, and he nodded as I thought he would.
"Yes, I can't see anything wrong with that, and it would be fitting if you killed Doa. The question now is, how are you going to beat Doa? I think that he will be coming this evening himself about Jilly, but he won't do anything yet," x explained, and I frowned at him.
"Why wouldn't he do anything? I can imagine soone as deadly as the Demon Lord of an island being very lenient, right?" I asked, but x just shook his head at .
"As dastardly as Doa is, all Demons follow a code, and that says that they have followed any rules that they state. Doa made a rule when first coming to this island before the shit hit the fan. He promised that everyone would be given three chances, and after that, he would kill them. The warning that you witnessed was her first, but Jilly did kill the last five he sent," x said with a slight chuckle.
"Well, I need to sleep before coming up with any plan, but I would assu that I just need to get stronger than him and kill him, right?" I said as I started to switch feet to lean on.
My brain wasn't running at full speed anymore, and I had even lost hold of the Wind Force Pact and the Water Sphinx Totem. x nodded to and then nodded to the apartnt.
"Yes, sothing like that. Head inside, I just felt one of Nixi's teleportation spells, and that ans she listened to . The old witch thinks she is smarter than ! I noticed sothing different when you fell from the sky, and I put the pieces together!" x said proudly, and I gave him a weak smile, shaking my head and then turned back to the apartnt.
I headed inside and went straight up the stairs to my room and opened the door quietly. The place was pitch black and silent, but I knew where my bed was, and made my way over to it easily.
I was already naked, so I crawled into bed but was surprised at the feeling of soone else in the bed already. I hardly had the mind to worry about them, but I was pretty sure it was the Cerberus girls.
I rolled to face the outside of the bed and then let my heavy eyes finally close, and I slipped into a deep dreamless sleep.
