I can feel it in my scales....this was exactly the same way Eurasia was back at Vanaxxis. The only one who did that to him was Dahlia. I swear if doesn't admit to this when I see her again, she'll be nothing but a bloodstain on my claws._

**Date: November 2nd

Location: Unknown, Exact location changing rapidly due to speed chase

Time: 8:12 pm**

The two dragonesses flapped hard to keep up, the human's speed not too fast but they couldn't get too close without risking a confrontation with him. It was easy to follow in the night as he tore through the Savanna like area they were in, the Rizan and Shyranrya not noticing how fast the forest, city and roads all were out of sight already in the moonlight. Shyranrya was tracking their position with her P.I.C., having a GPS loaded within as she pulled up what was in front of them, "Rizan, you're right. Hes definitely headed towards the Orno Desert. Its several hundred miles from here, and even though there are a few towns and whatnot on the way, this course is heading right dead center of it...", she explained, Rizan flying in close to see the holographic screen with two dots, one red representing Michael, the other being blue to show their position.Â

"Orno Desert...whats over there? From what I'm figuring, that Dahlia is waiting for him but for what? If its just to traumatize him even more, I'll slice her up into so many pieces, even the ants will have trouble picking up the remains.", she growled, her claws itching for revenge. Shyranrya wasn't going to do things so violently, but definitely she was going to make her pay. She then put her P.I.C away as they kept within a good 1000 feet or so away, waiting for their chance as the time passed.

- 34 minutes later, current time 8:46 pm

The savanna started to turn to pure sand, a bit of a breeze being noticed by the dragonesses as they saw something up ahead, the blue light that showed their dragoon's position vanishing. They both came in for a landing, blowing up a lot of sand as they felt the cold sand on their feet, seeing a massive city in the moon's light. Unlike the more modern cities, this one looked primitive, made of complete stone buildings and various other structures made of stone. There were lights visible, ones that could only come from light-bulbs so it would mean the city had a retro-modern like look and it was probably just as up to date as Saint Falda. As they got closer, there were even streetlights visible, meaning the whole city wasn't too dark for anyone walking about.

Rizan kneeled down to see the burn trail stop up ahead, seeing footprints leading right into the city. There was very little cover on the way, hoping they wouldn't be spotted as they followed since a palm tree and a cactus wouldn't do much to hide behind. Quickly they hid behind a building, seeing the footprints vanish as the sand turned to stone while entering an alley. It was dark, perfect for them as they heard voices. Both of them were male, but they couldn't see who was talking from their position without revealing themselves.

From the sounds of it, it was someone giving a warning, followed by a hiss "...give it up...He was here without you, so slithering right in after we spot him is a bit of a crime around here.", said the voice, Rizan and Shyranrya thinking about springing into action hearing that. Though it still wasn't a good time, Rizan creeping towards the corner of the alley and barely peeking over, seeing two snakes covered in armor. However one of them had a hood, meaning that he had to be a cobra, instead of a normal snake. They were both legless like Dahlia, and had spears in their hands, meaning the possibility of these types of snakes being the inhabitants here. She couldn't see past them, but knowing who it was from the next voice who spoke.

"You're a real idiot aren't ya? N.D. is looking for something here and you give this much of a damn about me? You know if he doesn't find that thing, he'll kill everyone off here, just like he did with my friend's kind. And this "human" is the key to saving all of our butts.", she yelled with a growl, not caring who heard as they were in a part of the city where it was dead at night. Michael was quiet, only awaiting to be told with the most emotionless expression with glowing blue eyes and keeping his sword sheathed on his .

The two laughed, finding it hard to believe that a human was good for anything but food or entertainment, "HAHAHAH! You expect us to buy that? Humans are weak creatures, fit only to serve us or fill our bellies. Depending on the mood of course..not that someone like you could know, one who is a snake yet isn't one of us.", said the cobra, flickering his tail as he moved in to grab the human by the neck. Dahlia didn't flinch, and neither did Michael, the cobra starting to wonder why he couldn't lift him up.

His friend chuckled, thinking that he was just messing, "Dude, come on. Stop messing around and punish that human for running around without anyone keeping watch of him. I'll..interrogate the owner as to her reason why she allowed this.", he said with a grin, slithering towards the snake girl who would have a lot of explaining to do if she was to get out of this clean. Even though Dahlia was a good 8 feet standing normally, the one in front of her was probably a good foot or more taller, quickly slapping him as he went to feel up her lower private area.

She was wearing a short red skirt, but just enough to cover what she didn't want those she wasn't raping to see. Though her shirt was black, matching her overall scale pattern. The snake laughed at the slap, barely feeling it as he looked back to see his friend knocking the human on his back, "I don't know why you're so damn heavy, but it doesn't matter. You're dead, and your owner won't get off easy either!", he yelled, Michael still not responding to anything. Dahlia snapped her fingers, then turned around to slither off.

Rizan gasped at what she saw next, the cobra snake being sliced in half by Michael's blade. However the blow was so powerful, that the slice was nothing close to clean. The force of the metal ripping through his body forced the rest of his flesh to rip its self apart, barely anything left that would be recognizable of him with only most of his innards flying all over the place. There was nothing but bone, organs and blood splattering on the ground and walls as a yell wasn't even possible. His friend nearly crapped himself seeing such a display of power, but he wanted revenge against what he thought to be a lower human, "WHAT THE HELL?!", he shouted, going in with his spear before stopping dead in his tracks.

His view then went black as he was sliced in two vertically, only a blue flash being seen while the blood splattered all over Michael's body. To their surprise, he was naked, the red liquid dripping down his blade and hair. Dahlia then called out to him, making him turn around and burn away the evidence of any blood from the ground. Although it left the ground scorching, the blood, bones, corpse, nothing was left visible after a good 20 seconds of burning it all away. However the blood on his body was left as he turned around and made his sword disappear, running over to join the one who controlled him.

Rizan quickly hid back and soon came to realize how strong that sword was, Shyranrya getting antsy as she wanted to know what happened due to hearing the noise of their deaths and the expression on her friend's face, "What happened?!....Rizzy!", she whispered, taking a moment to let things sink in. It wasn't even dragoon spirit power he was using then, just the power of the sword's slice in action and it tore through them like a foot stomping into a puddle.

"Shyranrya..we have to be very careful from here on out. We can't let Eurasia see us at all costs...or we'll have to deal with the sword. It also seems that N.D. is the reason why Dahlia called Eura to her. Lets stay close to make sure she doesn't do anything else that'll make her death more painful.", responded Rizan, keeping careful watch to stay close yet out of sight.

-

Prime human? Quite an understatement for what Eurasia is. Dezzy said his seed was something powerful, and its a good thing that I can't get pregnant. If I hadn't, I'd be a mother within 8 months.

**Date: November 3rd

Location: Unknown

Time: 6:39 am**

Michael was recovering from the fall, his legs being tugged on as he was pulled closer to her. He was uncomfortable enough being naked but being with the one who's given him nightmares, was almost too much to bare, "Nngh...N.D..are you telling me the truth Dahlia? I hope you're not lying to me about this.", he said resisting the pull, stopping from being tugged in her direction. His resistance was admirable, knowing that no normal human is strong enough to keep himself from being dragged across the floor.

She let him go and nodded, slithering to the bed and grabbing a towel she had left earlier, "Well I'll give ya the details later. Get to showering and then I'll tell you everything you need to know. That blood on you is not what I need people to see when you walk with me.", she said, Michael taking a moment to agree as he got up and took it in his hand. She pointed to the right, where a large opening where a door would be led to the bathroom, walking in and seeing the shower was clean and ready.

Although it was all stone, from the sink to the bathtub, the faucets and everything else was metal and had full running water. He tossed the towel to the side and got to showering, closing the curtains as he wanted at least some privacy. While the hot water hit him, he began to think, seeing some soap on the floor and using it to clean the blood off, "Could she really be telling the truth?...If N.D. is up to something here, I have to do something. But if shes lying...wait it doesn't matter. I have to get in contact with Rizan and Shyranrya fast.", he said in his mind, making sure to get fully clean.

- 15 minutes later, 6:55 am

The shower was refreshing but it wasn't a very good time to be enjoying it. Michael dried himself off and covered his lower body as he walked out to see what he can do about clothing. The first thing he saw was that Dahlia seemed different, her gaze at him looking a bit too happy. He couldn't put his finger on it but she definitely had changed, "Huh...wait when did you get breasts? I remember you not being that kind of snake. Wait and red hair?...", he commented, finally realizing that's what he found different. She was wearing a red shirt that could barely contain what she now had popping out from here chest area and had long red hair flowing down her head.

She gave a giggle as she slithered over back to him with a fresh pair of clothing, seeing the human eye her weirdly as she handed it to him, "Staring hard at my breasts now are we? Well lets just say its necessary. And before you ask, its Desiree's work, not that I really mind..just feel kind of heavy.", she commented, squeezing them with her hands and making her hiss with delight. A number of questions came to Michael's mind, also noticing that she gained a bit of girth too.

However later would be the time to ask, noticing that he was given blue jeans and a white t-shirt that says "Dahlia's property. Handle with Care.", in red lettering on it. Wasn't the best thing to be wearing but anything that wouldn't leave him naked was worth having. She eyed him changing, paying close attention to his slim body as he got dressed. Definitely one human she had a thing for she thought, slithering over to a closet to find something that wouldn't be as tight on her new figure.

The problem was that all of her clothing was made for no chested snakes, which meant that she'll have to make due with what she has until later on. She took off the shirt to allow her to breath but left the skirt which was tighter around her "hips" on as she slithered back and saw the human looking around for something, "Lost something you tasty little human?", she asked in a rather seductive tone, getting him to look at her while she climbed onto the bed and relaxed for a moment.

"Please don't call me that, and yes I'm looking for my P.I.C.. Where are my clothes? The ones I had on before...whatever happened to me to have me covered in blood.", he asked, sounding frantic as he checked under the bed, and in the closet. She gave a sigh from the response, hoping she'd at least soften him up a bit. It was a turn off to see a male just shrug her off like that but the fact that he was refusing was a turn on in its own way.

"Mmmm...your clothes...you burned them clean off last night. Though I doubt you remember, you were under my control. Why do you care about whats only ashes now?", she responded, making Michael gasp in fear. He couldn't believe it, that he had lost his only way back to Rizan's house and contacting with her. Things were going to be far too tough without it, knowing that getting in touch with them was a priority.

He hopped on the bed and landed beside her, seeing her twirl her hair upon seeing him get close, "Dahlia, you didn't happen to see my P.I.C. when my clothes burned off did ya?! DID YA?!", he asked with a desperate tone. She chuckled and coiled around his waist, pulling him closer to her face as she licked him in the cheek. Quickly he undid the coil, moving back a bit while giving a bit of a growl to show that he was serious.

Dahlia hmphed at him and turned around with her arms crossed, not liking the tone this human was talking, "Well I'm not telling you if you don't control yourself. You should be kissing me since I brought you here to stop whatever N.D. is planning!", she exclaimed, the human sighing and sitting back. She was tough to be around and even tougher to get information from he thought, breathing in deeply as he gave a smile at her.

The smile earned him a pat on the head, as well as a grin on her face which creeped him out given what shes done to him. Again she coiled around him but this time a bit more around the lower area, liking the feeling of prey in her grasp, "That's better. Now let me tell you everything you need to know. First off, I didn't see anything fall off, you killed those snakes who harassed us while I had my back turned. All I know is that after you attacked, you were completely naked and covered in blood.", started Dahlia, Michael tilting his head as to who he was forced to kill. He was hoping it was no one he knew, feeling better hearing "snakes" rather than "dragonesses". But it was still bad news to hear that even she didn't know what became of it.

"The next thing to explain is that N.D. is looking for something. Something that's either buried here or hidden somewhere due to someone already finding it. Hes threatened to erase this city from the map if its not turned up by tomorrow, though its not him technically who's here. Its one of his flunkies, the N.Cyphers, who's been going around interrogating and killing anyone who knows and won't tell. I'm not from around here but Desiree wanted to help, and I knew that you'd be someone who can stand up to these jokers...", she finished explaining, her expression turning from teasing to a more serious sad face.

If it was something to make someone who he thought was a monster feel sad, it had to be the truth. Michael rubbed his head and wondered who N.D. could've sent here, remembering his fight against three different ones. After some thought and silence, he looked up at Dahlia, patting her where he was being squeezed gently, "Well if that's the case, then I'll gladly help. Though I'm doing it for Desiree, not for you...I can't forgive what you did to me...but its good to know you're not such a bad girl. However a few things I'm curious about. What made Desiree want to help so much? Is it for revenge on what N.D. tried to do or what?"

Dahlia gave a hiss of delight and pulled him in for a huge, squeezing his head between her two breasts that were probably a bit bigger than it. It was a relief that he agreed to help, though knowing that he couldn't refuse, "Mmm! That's great!...and No that's not it. Its because N.D. nearly wiped out Desiree's kind. She doesn't want to same to happen to anyone else...I met her soon after her city met its demise. Shes my best friend even though I don't show it.", she responded with glee, letting the human in her arms who was flailing go.

It was comparable to a hug from Shyranrya or Rizan he thought, shaking his head as he was free from the warm soft prison called a hug. Though he felt at ease at what he just heard, though not quite ready to forgive her just yet. He had to prepare for a battle today, and hopefully hit N.D. hard, knowing that at his current power, he couldn't defeat him in battle. Least he could be is a huge annoyance in his backside. Quickly another thought hit him, nearly forgetting to ask a very important question, "Oh! Do you know what hes looking for?", he asked, Dahlia shaking her head while wrapping more of his body.

Michael was feeling more calm now, the coiling up to his chest as he felt her massage him gently, while also keeping him warm. He gave a very relieved sigh, getting more and more relaxed while she yawned, "Well to put it simply my human prey...no. I honestly wish I knew what he wanted. Something Virage this and that.", she replied, Michael's eyes opening as he had heard what a Virage was before, but not what it was. It was on the back of his mind, but what he did remember that it wasn't anything good. Though he was feeling bushed for some reason, the massaging and warmth making his body slow down. He fell asleep slowly as Dahlia did herself, wanting to relax after such a stressful night with a little nap.

  • 5 hours later. 11:58 am

Dahlia awake with a yawn, rubbing her eyes as she slept quite good. Within the raping and sexual fun she was having, there wasn't too much time to just sleep and relax. She gave her prey a squeeze, though now realizing that her coils had been undone. This made her quickly wake up and look around, seeing that the candles were still on but he was no where to be seen, "Mmm...where did he go...", she wondered, hearing some sounds coming from the bathroom. Sounded like the sink was running, before being turned off and the human coming back while wiping his face and wrapping his hand in bandage. She wondered why he did that for a moment, then lost interest as their eyes met.

He jumped seeing her awake, not thinking she'd be up almost the same time as him, "Oh sorry about that. I still felt a bit weird so I washed my face real quick...though what time is it? Shouldn't we be getting ready for N.D.'s flunkie? Feels like I'm not ready for it by just hanging around here.", he asked, Dahlia giving another yawn before slithering off the bed to the closet. She didn't seem to be worried, grabbing a long amount of cloth to cover her breasts but leaving enough for stares to come her way.

As she slithered out from the closet, Michael noticed she was holding something in her hands. Something small and looking quite familiar, "Hey...isn't that a Link P.I.C.? Let me use that please! I have to get in contact with Rizan and Shyranrya!", he shouted, walking in her direction and looking up at her. Dahlia chuckled looking down at him, just giving him a pet and slithering past him.

"Thats cute...but no. I can't afford to have those two here...god knows the amount of hatred they have for me. Especially for what I did to you, their lovers.", she responded, getting a blush from the human as she used the word "lovers". The reaction was quite expected, thinking that maybe she was right, "Oh? From your look it seems that it is true. Just trust me, wait until you confront him, then I'll make the call. However don't tell them where I am...please. I prefer living."

Michael rubbed his head, knowing that he'll be getting quite the yelling after this. Not to mention that Rizan will probably cut up Dahlia for hypnotizing him again. He gave a nod then wondered what to do until it was time to fight, hoping that he'd be able to win with his new sword, "Alrighty then. Then what is there to do until battle time?", he asked, seeing her punch in something into the P.I.C.

Seeing that it was midday, it was the perfect time to get some stuff with her money due to her new form. Though before she would forget, she grabbed something from a skirt pocket and wrapped it around his neck. Not surprised at this, it was a collar with a strong leather leash, "Right, remember. You're a lower race here so you have to follow what I say and don't be talking around too much!", she said with a cute tone, amazed that her "pet" wasn't annoyed by the idea.

Before Michael knew it, they had vanished from the room they were in and arrived in a completely different location in a flash of light.

-

**Date: November 3rd

Location: Colossus Mall Teleportation Arrival Area, City of Calimas

Time: 12:01 pm**

Michael fell over in shock as they suddenly were teleported, wondering how was it possible as he remembered being told that Link P.I.C.s couldn't teleport anywhere. Though he saw that he was getting stared at by a few snakes who looked just like Dahlia, both male and female in bright and dark colors. Quickly Dahlia picked him up by the leash and chuckled nervously, petting him by the head and messing up his red hair, "Clumsy human...you know how it is.", she commented, getting a few chuckles and everyone going by their business.

Dahlia put her mouth to his ear while Michael fixed up his hair, "Careful, I can't have them suspicious of you. Just follow close and stay quiet ok?", she said while Michael nodded. He was caught off guard that one moment, but he was going to be try to not ruin things. While they began to walk, Michael was paying close attention to where they could be, only assuming that he was in snake territory where humans were considered nothing but pets or even worse. It was similar to Shyranrya's and many other dimensions he traveled as a dragoon, getting a few compliments and being petted by other snakes who stopped to talk to Dahlia.

"Oh that's a healthy one looking one. Who's your seller? I'll give you a better deal for him...", said a green snake-girl who was a bit shorter and skinnier than Dhalia while putting a hand on Michael's face to make him look at her yellow slitted eyes. It was very uncomfortable being forced to look at a girl who only cared about buying him but he let her do what she wanted for the sake of keeping undercover.

Dahlia laughed and tugged on the leash, shaking her head as selling him was the last thing she'd ever do, "No thanks. This human was a great deal. Far too valuable for a mere bit of gold.", she said sticking her tongue out, the snakegirl feeling quite disappointed as her last human died on her due to "overworking" which she said with a chuckle. With a few more compliments to Michael's health she slithered off and the two walked into a clothing store. Dahlia's cloth was starting to rip due to her breasts being too big, looking around for some of the latest fashion.

Michael didn't see another human while he was here, wondering why given the status of his kind while Dahlia checked various shirts and corsets on sale. He turned his head for a moment, seeing another human at the corner of his eye but only to see nothing but skirts and a big sign that said "20 percent off", "Huh...was it just my imagination?...", he thought, turning back at Dahlia to see that she was holding a red corset with yellow lining and black buttons.

"How's this look? I think it compliments my scales quite well.", she asked her pet, giving a bit of thought to it as he took it in his hands and inspected it. He then pointed to one of a similar look but bigger, Dahlia going over to take it off the hanger and bring it to him, "Ah so you say this one. Good point, I have gotten a bit bigger...and I do like breathing.", she said with a hiss, lowering her head down to lick him in the cheek.

"Yea I saw this one is a bit too small...I noticed you got a bit bigger with that transformation...but it does look good. You going to try it on first?", he asked, putting the old one back on the hanger as she nodded while grabbing a couple of other outfits to try and slithered towards the fitting rooms. Michael stood outside with his back against the door, Dahlia hoping he'd join in but he prefered not to. He took the time think about who he'd be up against and what to expect.

From what he remembered, the N. Cyphers were on par with his power, but he wasn't fighting seriously the first them they met. This time he was sure to go all out and to show off his new abilities. His thought was broken as he then saw a human and light brown snake woman slither into the far fitting room. He noticed she had green hair that wasn't that long and had a red skirt with three colored jewels at her hips, as well as a matching bra-like covering for her chest. The human seemed to be as well dressed as him, dressed in a white t-shirt and blue sweats while carrying a ton of boxes and bags.

At least it was good to see that not everyone had to wear rags, being reminded of Shyranrya's dimension for a moment, "Ah, so it wasn't my imagination.", he thought, going back to thinking as Dahlia was taking awhile to get into the outfit. After about 5 minutes passing, Michael took a look into the room to see her finally dressed due to him getting impatient. It seemed that she was still in the dressing process, Dahlia giving a teasing wink as she was naked fully, "Oh I see my human got a change of heart in helping me dress!", she said while she getting naked from one of the various fashionable wears she picked out and shaking her "butt" at him.

Michael shook his head and closed it the door, hearing her chuckle and going back to being dressed, "No thanks. I'll just keep in watch though...", he responded, mentally preparing himself incase he fought the fire lion from Gears Laboratory. The fire he used was green and was able to burn him, meaning that he'd have to make sure to watch out since his natural resistance to heat wouldn't work against it. Not to mention he had two swords, so he was quite the dangerous adversary.

Another few minutes passed, Michael lost in thought yet again until something else broke it. His hair was being petted by the same snake woman he saw earlier while he was stared at by the human who was with her carrying the bags, "What a marvelous looking human you are...in great shape, lovely hair. Well fed and quite clean, your owner seems to pamper you alot.", she complimented, his hair getting completely messed up.

"Well...she does a bit. Shes tough on punishment but as long as I do what I'm told, she rewards me properly.", he responded, getting a chuckle out of her. Dahlia then opened the door suddenly, knocking him on over and onto the floor since she was fully dressed in the corset her "pet" found for her, "Ow...I'm okay...", he said as he rubbed his head and stood up. The snake woman slithered back a bit and looked over to the owner, seeing that she was a bit taller than her and also had a bigger chest than her.

Dahlia saw that she knocked him over, about to say sorry until she noticed there was someone right in front of her. She used her tail to tug on the leash and call Michael over, "Can't be standing in front of the door like that...now hold this. Seems we have some company.", she ordered, her pet nodding and carrying four boxes of clothing and three bags of more clothing, "Now then, good afternoon.", she greeted, noticing that this snake woman was a light brown with creamy brown underbelly. Quite attractive was the green hair and her orange eyes, also spotting the human beside her.

The two shook hands, though the other snake woman used both hands, the other one rubbing the back of Dahlia's nice and slow, "Its a pleasure. My name is Kayla, and my pet right here is Steve. We were just shopping for the latest trends when I noticed your human wasn't helping you out. Hes in great shape.", she commented, giving a grin back at her hearing that Michael was indeed a human of top quality.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Dahlia. This human here is Eurasia and hes been my pet for awhile. I make him do alot so he won't get flabby and useless. Your human seems to be looking better than the majority I've seen.", she replied, the two laughing and starting to slither together out of the store. The two discussed about things which didn't interest Michael, from clothing to jewelry. The two shared their opinions about things and fashion as well, just giving the stuff they decided to buy to their pets.

Dahlia and Kayla had finished shopping 20 minutes later, starting to slither out the exit with her new friend, "You know, Its nice to see someone who agrees on what can really make my scales shiver. Good taste is far and few nowadays--ooh! Lets go check out the new wares they have over there.", Kayla shouted with a squeal, pointing over to where her favorite jewelry was bought which she spotted at the corner of her eye. Dahlia still had quite a bit of gold left so she nodded and slithered over first. Though as the humans started to follow, Kayla stopped them both by slithering in front of them, "Oh you two can stay here and wait for us. I wouldn't want Steve knowing what he'll be shining along with the rest of my collection...", she said with a teasing hiss, Steve just smiling at her, then nodding.

The humans sat outside the exit in the blazing hot sun, taking a moment to put the luggage down as they sat at the edge of a fountain to help anyone relax, even humans after a nice shopping spree. There were pillars around them holding up the sign "Colossus Mall" engraved on it, Michael looking up to notice it and make a note of it, "Ah that's better...good to relax after carrying all that stuff huh Steve?", he asked, seeing that he was a bit nervous but nodded at him.

He was definitely in his 20s, in good shape but not toned like Michael was. He splashed a bit of the cool water on his face as he was quite hot, then shaking the hand of his new conversation partner, "Sure is...Kayla loves shopping. She brings me here alot to buy new things for her lair. You look strong...does Dahlia make you do alot of work?", he asked, getting Michael to chuckle nervously.

"Well...work is definitely what I have cut out for me while with her. Shes tough to manage but nothing I can't handle...though you're in good shape yourself. I've seen a lot of "pets" like us who are either starving or covered in scars. Guess we're lucky huh?", he responded, Steve sighing and looking down at the water and thinking of the time he spent with Kayla. It had been awhile since he was with Kayla, nearly all of his memories were of being her pet. A light breeze went past them as Steve wondered a bit about Michael, "Yea...she took me in when I was still a kid. Raised me and taught me what I know. Taught me a few "other" things too...heh. Hows Dahlia like with ya? Rewarding type or are you the toy type of slave for her?"

That was a thought he didn't want to get close to, only being reminded of the rape and torture she gave him. He shook his head and again chuckled nervously, "Well...guess I'm the toy type, who's job is to keep her entertained and the place clean. Kinda hard to say how she treats me when it comes to the since she was eerrm...very very rough. With a whip and everything.", he responded, Steve laughing as he heard how rough he had it. Even though Michael felt uncomfortable saying that, it was best to keep things authentic.

"Wow, that does sound tough. Kayla's tough on the chores but when it comes to some fun, its not too scary. Usually it takes me 2 hours to shine all of her jewelry, and if I do it well I get a nice "reward". If I don't, I get a good yelling. I mean when shes basking in one of the special rooms back home, she falls asleep most of the time. Its a great time to get in and get a nice feel after working so hard...even though its risky", he said with a chuckle, finding it enjoyable to sneak in a grope or two while his owner is relaxing.

Michael knew that something like that Dahlia would love having him doing, given how she was. Though he thought of Rizan and Shyranrya, which he wouldn't mind relaxing in the sun with them both, "That does sound like fun. You love feeling her scales don't yet? My previous owner didn't welcome me doing that, and Dahlia...kinda doesn't mind too much. She welcomes anything I'd try nearly anytime and anywhere. Though doesn't Kayla get angry over that? If she's that type of owner I mean considering you said risky."

One of the bags from Steve's side fell over, making him jump to quickly put the clothes back in before they'd get dirty. It would be trouble for him if Kayla found it like that, picturing himself getting a good yelling and a hard tug at his collar, "Whoa! Gotta put this back...ok that's better.", Steve sighed, feeling more relaxed as he sat back on the foutain's edge, " Now it indeed is risky. Depending on her mood, waking her up by squeezing her breasts and rubbing her crotch would either get me in good or thrown out with an extra work load. Still worth it...Oh you said you're a hand-me-down slave?"

The title "hand-me-down" wasn't sounding too prestigious, not that he was a slave to begin with. He let slip about his time with Shyranrya as she and Rizan were on his mind, worried about what they thinking right now, "Not quite hand-me-down really. Dahlia got me recently as she can hypnotize people, but don't say I told ya that. Lets just say I got away from my last one even though she was probably a better owner.", responded Michael, Steve very curious as to who it was and even more how he did it.

The two looked at the water for a second, Steve splashing his face again as the last bit was drying up, "Don't you ever think of running away Steve? It can't be that much fun being a pet and being forced to do what someone wants for the rest of your life.", Michael asked while Steve worked to get cool, thinking that maybe he should help him if things were like he saw back in Shyranrya's dimension.

Steve looked back at him and looked down, unsure how to answer that, "Well...maybe sometimes...but its not like I can just leave. I'm scared to go out into and live in a world I'm not familiar. But I'm fine where I am now. Kayla raised me, feeds me, and keeps me in her warm home. Of course I do the house work but shes never mistreated me to the point where I wish I was gone. If she didn't care for me in some way, there's no way she'd have treated me well my life. Aside from some well deserved yelling, I think shes quite nice and I have to thank her for what she did for me.", Steve replied with a sigh, knowing that even in the bad times, Kayla has always been there for him.

It was surprising to hear that he didn't detest his owner, even though he was stuck living a life of being a servant. Although it wasn't a fun thought being a pet, the fact that Steve was saved and raised by Kayla meant that maybe his life isn't the worse it could be, "So you're really thankful huh? It makes me happy hearing that...and It would be hard to just suddenly leave and live in a world you aren't used to. I know how that is.", Michael said while giving a handshake to Steve, seeing Dahlia and Kayla slither back in their direction.

As the two grabbed their owner's luggage, picking it all up until Michael heard something. He looked around for a second, until there was a loud explosion that knocked the two humans on the ground, "Eurasia! Steve!", shouted Dahlia, seeing 3 pillars fall right on them in a loud crash, as well as the large stone "Colossus Mall" sign.
