Far away in a undisclosed location three figures sat around a table their eyes shifting from one another
" are you going to tell us what your message was about or are we going to keep staring at each other i have things to do." a dwarve with weirdly sharp ears said sitting in the middle of the table looking at the human king
" he's right it took a lot for me to get her unnoticed." a young male elf spoke up as well sitting on his right, snapping his fingers a guard came forward placing a piece of paper on the table between them an injecting some of his mana into it Letting a image appear
Everyone's face went sour looking at the person the image projected
" this is why I invited you here we all have unpleasant encounters with this devil and I want too torment him as much as possible before ending his deplorable life,I'm sure you two feel the same."
The young elf clutched his hand in anger
" that bastard killed my father and stole my future from me if you want to make him suffer I'm in."
The dwarve in the middle wasn't as enthusiastic " I have already tried to deal with him for disrupting my operations, at best i can wound him at worst i unleash something much worse."the human king was not wavered by his doubts however
" that was alone, together with our influence an power we could destroy him once and for all while making him suffer."
The crime lord still wanting to get rid of the thorn in his side that blemished his reputation was willing to hear the human king out,they have always been on friendly terms...for the most part
" what do you have in mind."

Back at dragon-tooth lazza was trying to get some advice from Selena as they ate at a food stall, one of many that now exist thanks to all the traffic the town was getting
" So what do you think." Not answering right away Selena took a bit from the meat stick in her hand
Lazza picked up a piece of bread dipping it in the soup she almost finished, waiting for Selena's answer " I'm going to be honest I don't know what you see in him that man is insufferable most of the time."
" I know I don't know what is wrong with me either...i cant control my heart." Lazza's head got a bit lower ashamed of being obsessed with such a man.
" why don't you go for someone else like our king, it's common for royalty and nobles to have multiple wives, besides...how do you expect me to help."
" he would never take me as a second wife or anyone else for that matter, I've never seen him look at anyone else in a lustful manner other then the queen, and...i have already tried." Lazza took another bite of bread before continuing
" you managed to get kal and you two seem to be going steady, can you just tell me how you won him over something please I'm begging you."
Lazza finished her meal looking at her friend with pleading eyes, her ears even went slightly flat from her strong emotions
"Sigh...alright I'll tell you what I did because I want you to be with someone too." Smiling bright lazza gave Selena a big hug " thank you, thank you it means a."
[ lazza are you done yet I could really use you back here the new batch of recruits is a bit overwhelming] James's voice appeared from lazza's earpiece
" sorry can we speak later duty call?" Lazza said after clicking her tongue " yeah it's fine I have to get back to my post as well."
With that they went their separate ways lazza to help with the training of new recruits and Selena back to Elise's side

" when are we going to leave this place elder, the threat gone we can go back to our home." The lizard-men men were all together trying to decide what was next for them and their families
" yeah the people don't want us here they only see us as monsters or ignorant creatures for them to shepherd." The debate was starting to get heated,most didn't understand why they needed to stay now that the eclipse is gone
" we belong in nature as our goddess intended not this town that doesn't want us made out of gems." The elder seeing his people in such unrest knew it was time for a change

On the moon birna traversed it's surface going from one side of base-X to the other checking on projects gathering reports
Most of the people up here were the people ghost saved, he trusted them and it gave them something to do and get paid ' only one more project to check on before I can head back to the surface.'
Getting to a building still slightly under construction she entered it turning left when she did following the hall to a secluded section an entering what looked like a lab with two people in it
" anything new lady's." She asked walking over to a elven woman who was looking at something on her tablet " not on my end."
" I found something interesting " getting her attention drawn to the other woman their who was a goblin
Walking over to a square see-through box about one meter in all directions she saw what the researcher was working on " what do you got?"
" it would be easier if I showed." Inside the transparent square was were two things a dying plant and a bit of the silver liquid,using a metal rod sealed off for safety she moved the liquid closer to the plant
It took a moment but eventually the liquid stirred slowly making it's way to the plant, it didn't coat the plants like birna thought instead the liquid made a piece of itself thin as a needle and punctured the plant disappearing inside
It didn't take long for the veins of the plant to glow with a silver hue as it got healthier standing straight up an gaining it's color and life back
" the liquid looks to bond with living beings restoring and improving said being " they watched as the plant grew bigger producing the most tantalizing fruit both of them have ever seen
" amazing-" birna was interrupted by a rune on her tablet blinking ' damn.'
" this is truly fantastic work put it in a report and I'll give it to our king right away, i have to go now." The goblin researcher nodded as birna turned to leave" I'll get on it immediately."
Back outside birna went across the base once again passing a building at the beginning of it's construction to a place that looked like a barn with a female guard standing at its entrance
With out a word the guard opened the sliding doors of the building, inside were a couple things for storage and runes on the floor connected with sharp lines like a circuit board
Going to the middle of the circuit she let her mana enter the rune there causing it to light up connecting to the others , after all the runes lit up birna disappeared reappearing not far from the trade house
Deftly moving between people and carriages carrying goods and refugees birna made it inside the trade house were people are lined up to register their goods or ask for housing with the receptionists
" here you are miss. " a Dwarven woman handed her a stack of papers with the names and number of goods being registered along with the names an details of people wanting to settle here
" thank you I'll get it to our lady immediately." As she walked to Elise's office on the second floor of this building birna quickly looked through the paper so she had an understanding of what was on them
As birna closed in on her destination she saw Amelia outside the door to the office with her ear to it,this confused birna until she heard moans coming from inside the room
Hearing footsteps Amelia was pulled out of her fantasy face completely red from being caught she tried to quickly withdraw her now drenched hand from her panties but it was pointless to act innocent since birna was already next to her
Amelia's mouth opened an closed several time trying to come up with something
seeing her embarrassment birna felt a little bad she remembered being young an doing stuff like this honestly she couldn't blame her for getting aroused from the sounds of sex it was hard not too
" I won't say anything but you should get it out of your system." Amelia's face got even redder as she rushed past birna but not without whispering a quiet word of thanks first
' they have been going at it a lot since the incident.' Birna waited for a few minutes hoping they would finish, but it soon became clear that wasn't going to happen
Taking a breath she knocked loudly on the office door
" damn...I was so close." Birna heard a smack an a quiet yelp of pain " shh...one moment!" There was the sounds of clothes rapidly shifting before she got invited in
Inside Elise sat at her desk trying to look regal with her disheveled clothes while ghost stood next to her his clothes looking a little funky as well
"I have the most recent reports ready for your review and a list of people wanting to make this their home."Birna placed the stack of papers on Elise's desk
" thank you for all your help birna." A little surprised birna did a little bow " I try my best my queen."
Elise's face turned a shade pinker " and sorry you had to catch us like that."
" not at all my queen It's a pleasure to know my rulers truly love each other...though if I can ask, I noticed you two have been going at it a lot more recently?"
Elise didn't answer her feeling even more embarrassed now as her face turned a bright red.
" she wants to have another child." Hearing her husband Elise gave him a deadly glare for opening his mouth
" O well I wish you two the best of luck " birna was blindsided by the sudden announcement but quickly voiced her support
Outside as Elise went over the paperwork a group of lizard-man made their way to the trade house
