Saleth furrowed her brows a little as she crossed her arms when Drake apologized for grabbing onto her legs the way he did. She decided to let this one go since it wasn't like they were in any real danger. If anything, he had almost caused her to fall down. Lightly shaking her head, Saleth allowed her arms to rest at her sides again.
Then, Saleth explained that she had never gambled before in her life. In response to this, Drake admitted that he didn't either.
When Saleth stated that coming back to life so many times, she didn't think possible, Derio responded simply that anything was for his family. According to Derio, he was ten thousand years of age. Well, Saleth wasn't exactly young herself in human years but she was a youngster according to the laws of her kind. Youngster in the sense that she was a young adult. Now that she appeared to be one presently, she wouldn't change in appearance since she had matured to where her kind stopped aging. Derio was ancient, far older than either of them were. Except for maybe Lana but it wasn't certain how old she was. Then, Derio showed them that he could change into the man that Lana said he was and not a girl. Saleth rubbed the back of her head, thoroughly confused.
"...Not sure how you're able to do that...but I've not seen anything like what you two can do." Saleth was also talking about Lana when she said this. She had never met any shifters of any kind. This was a first for her. It was also a first for her to encounter a male dragon of her own kind. She had been looking for others of her own kind of dragon race and hadn't found any until now. She had been taken entirely off guard when she met Drake. Saleth hadn't at all expected to find another of her kind, yet there he was and he had walked right up to them. She knew that this wasn't fake. Drake was real just as much as she was. No, she certainly hadn't been prepared for something like this.
Derio laughed, however, at what Saleth said about Drake and herself. Drake had his back turned so there was no telling what he was even thinking at the time. No doubt, it was just as embarrassing for him as it was for her. Apparently, Derio had said the same thing that Saleth had said about Drake and herself. His mother had been able to tell that Derio's first wife was going to be his first wife. Then, ten wives later, he married Lana. According to Derio, his mother was right about Lana being his final wife. Then, Derio went even further to say that the relationships in his family often started out exactly the way that Drake and Saleth had. Saleth's face turned a brighter red. Needless to say, she was struggling to find words to say in response.
Lana had looked back over at her and said that what Derio said had been true. Leaning in, the Chaos Goddess stated that Derio wasn't the only one getting lucky. Saleth spluttered worse at that. "W-We are not!" she insisted on saying but the other two would likely not believe her no matter how hard she tried. "A-And n-not...that!" Saleth spluttered aloud, redder than red when she had said that to Lana. Thank goodness Drake did not overhear that one. Saleth would have died if he did.

Drake didn't mean to put Saleth in any danger. He just didn't want the dice to hit his eyes. Saleth shook his head at him, letting him off the hook. When Derio said he was ten thousand years old, Drake looked at him. Hehad no idea how old Saleth was, but he wasn't anywhere near ten thousand years old. Could the reason he had been married so many times be because of his age? He his other wives were motral, that could have been the case.
Drake then thought about Lana. She was a goddess, but none of them had any idea how old she was. She could have been older than Derio for all he knew. Then, Derio turned into a man. He then said he could change at will before turning back inti the teenage girl. Drake wouldn't even begin to try to figure out how that worked. When Derio said mkst relationships in his family started out like Drake and Saleth, he turned back around. He didn't want anyine to see his face. He had just met Saleth, and already these two were pairing them up.
Derio laughed when Saleth said she didn't know how he could transform. " That's for me to know," he said. " Everyone has to have some kind of secret. Besides I happen to like this form. It suits my needs. Plus it lets me hide from people I don't want to see. Even if I'm out of the underworld I can't be too safe. I'm not the only one who is able to get out of there at will." Derio had made a mess of things last time he was in the underworld. That's why when he first showed up he was in this form. He was making sure he wasn't followed. Not like they could follow him into the casino. Only selected people got in here. Those people and whoever they brought were the only ones who could be here. That's why Derio felt safe about showing Saleth and Drake his real form. Whatever Lana said to Saleth, it made Slaeth redder. Derio shook his head, he had an idea about what she said. " If you say so. But as Lana says auras don't lie."
Lana giggled at Saleth's reaction. Kana had been teasing her about this since they first set off. She knew from the beginning Saleth was trying to find her own kind. Now that she did, she was denying that she and him were a thing. When Derio said auras don't lie Lana smirked again. " That's right. And right now your aura is looking pretty purple right now. Someone around here is not telling the truth, and it's not Derio or Me." Drake wasn't talking right now, so that left only one person, Saleth.

Saleth had assumed, since Derio was so old, that he had gone through that many wives because they were mortal. It would make sense. She couldn't think of anything else except maybe death by other means. Honestly, it wasn't any of her business so she didn't question it. It did surprise her though that someone went through that many spouses.
The way Derio and Lana were talking, Saleth could see no way of making them see otherwise. She tried to say that Drake and her weren't lovebirds. Honestly, they had only just met one another. Derio went on to say his transformation ability was for him to know. According to Derio, he was able to hide from his enemies that way and those he didn't wish to see.
Then, despite Saleth's protests and denials, Derio went on to say that auras didn't lie. What did he mean by that? Lana then spoke up, Saleth turning her gaze onto Lana. Apparently, a purple aura meant she was lying? "Grr! We only just met!" Saleth growled. It was no use though. They knew something despite Saleth's protests. Her face was very red. Who could blame her? It were as if someone kept reading her and she didn't like it. It were as if she couldn't get to keep her secrets. Maybe if she confessed one tiny thing they will leave her be?
"Alright, fine! You keep poking and prodding, I see you're only going to keep doing so until I say something so I might as well get it done and over with!" Saleth growled. She couldn't face Drake then as she did so, careful to not look in his direction. "I...th-think he's...attractive. There, happy now?!"

Derio laughed as Saleth stated they just met. It reminded him of his mother would tease him about girls. " Just meeting someone has never stopped me, or anyone in my family for that matter." It was true, his family wasn't like most families. When they saw something they liked thry rarely got the time to know them before going after them. Derio shook his head as Saleth finally gave in and said she thought Drake was attractive. He knew Lana was going to jump in on this, so he didn't bother too much. " Now was that so hard? Tell you what, how about I get us all some drinks. On me." He then got up from his chair before dropping the dice. He then kicked them like a soccer ball. They landed on the table, making seven again. " I still got it." He then went over to the bar to get the drinks. After flipping his hair and doing his model walk of course.
When Saleth stated she thought Drake was attractive Lana smiled at her. " Aha! I knew it! You can't hide anything from me!" Lana said. Lana had been teasing Saleth about finding someone since they met. From the start she thought about Drake when teasing Saleth. She knew deep down Saleth was trying to find someone. They were both the same race, and Saleth did say her race was mostly killed. It made since to Lana that she would try to get with Drake. As Derio left to get drinks Lana pulled up a chair. She put the chair right next to Saleth. She sat on it, getting uncomfortably close to her. She tapped Saleth on the soulder. She then leaned her head to the side next to Saleth's head. She gave her a very wide smile. " I knew you wanted to get down and dirty Saleth." She whispered in her ear. " From minute one I knew you were looing for someone special. I also know you're Drake's type of girl. Think about it, you have him by the tail, literally!" Lana then got down from the chair. She skipped over to follow Derio.
Drake turned redder and redder with each word that was said. He wanted to crawl under a rock and hide. He didn't, fearing Saleth would just pull him out from under it by his tail. As Derio and Lana left he turned his head to look at Saleth. " Do you.... really think I'm attractive?" He asked with a bit of fear in his voice. " Because.... I think you are..."

Saleth blinked when Derio admitted that just having met someone didn't stop him or his family. They just went right for the person. Derio's family sounded rather...too bold. Saleth was brought up with teachings from her parents to always get to know the person she was courting. It made them more special and it helped to figure out if the person was the right one. At least, that's what her mother always taught her. Her father, on the other hand, was always trying to prevent her from dating. According to him, she shouldn't date until she was his age which was ridiculous. Her mother always called him out on it too.
After Saleth had spilled her guts, only a little, Derio had asked her if that was all that hard. Truthfully, it had been. Admitting such things was terribly awkward. Well, no use now. The cat was out of the bag and now Drake likely heard about what she thought of him. How embarrassing! Things were going way too fast than she liked. Derio dismissed himself, suggesting that he'd get them all drinks on him. As he got up to leave, he rolled the dice again and once again won. Stating that he still got it, Derio left.
As Lana spoke, Saleth felt as if a part of her had died inside just from having to admit anything. Where having said it, initially, helped get rid of some awkwardness but now...how did Drake feel? What if it was all a bust? Saleth would have to move on. It wouldn't be easy. There was no telling how many of them there were left now. What if Drake and she were the last? Their kind would die out. Granted, where she knew the severity of the situation when it came to their race, that wasn't the whole reason why she searched so hard for others. She wanted to meet others aside from her family. She wanted to see what other dragons were like. Aside from her father, Drake was the only other male she ever encountered. His arrival had certainly caught her off guard since she hadn't expected to meet others of her race.
As Lana pulled up a chair, Saleth felt uneasy. Just what else was the Chaos Goddess going to do? Saleth had already humiliated herself. As the Goddess leaned in, a wide grin on her face, Saleth was wary. She was really, really close to Saleth right now. What she whispered into Saleth's ear made her jaw drop ad her face turn scarlet. "L-Lana!" she stammered, embarrassed. Thankfully, Lana had only whispered that to her and hadn't said it aloud. Saleth would have died if she did.
Then, Lana revealed that all along, she knew that Saleth had been searching for someone special. Lana then stated that she new Saleth was Drake's type. From the sound of things, Lana was urging her to be with Drake. Saleth turned even redder, finding herself unable to speak for the time being as she looked off to the side. She heard Lana climb off of her seat and head off after Derio. Saleth looked over to where they went, noticing the very awkward silence. Maybe this was all a bad idea? Then, she felt or rather sensed someone looking at her. Warily, she turned her head to look in the direction where she had felt the gaze coming from and found herself awkwardly looking right back at Drake, who was looking right at her.
'Oh great, maybe I should run?' Yes, for once in her life, Saleth thought of running right then and there. Yet, she couldn't seem to get her legs or body to even work. Instead, she was rooted to the spot. Drake seemed just as embarrassed as she was. Maybe she said something wrong? When he had asked her if she thought he was attractive, Saleth felt her face redden again. Awkwardly, she nodded. There was no denying it now. It had sounded like he was scared. Then...Drake told her that he thought she was attractive too. Blinking, Saleth looked up at him again, surprised. Did he really think that? She had a ton of scars all over her. How could that be attractive?
"I...d-do...do you really...think so?" Saleth asked him slowly. It was obvious that no one had said that to her before and that even she didn't think so of herself.

Drake nodded to Saleth. " Yes.. I do." He then looked away for a moment. Besides his parents Drake had never met anyone that was his kind. There were other dragons in the prison, but not of the same species. Drake knew nothing about other members of his race, he didn't even know how to act like a dragon. With zero battle experience he was next to useless. To be honest, he was okay with it. He didn't want to be some strong warrior, he wanted to be a househusband, the male version of a housewife. It was something he never told anyone in fear of being laughed at.
Drake then looked back at Saleth. She was his type.... and seemed okay with him not being able to fight. Even if she was forcing him to train. " Saleth...." He took her hands. " You are attractive. I want to be with you Saleth. I want you to teach me how to be a dragon. No matter how much I protest and run away I know you'll be there to drag me by my tail. I need someone like you, someone who won't give up on me."
Meanwhile Derio made it up to the bar. He ordered a large amount of drinks. He sat on a stool and waited for his drinks to be ready. Derio had been gone from the living world for some time. " Now if only this was the underworld, I could really have some fun." He said. Lana came up to him. " And just what does that mean?" Lana crossed her arms. Derio looked at her. " Nothing dear! I'm just happy I can finally be with you again! Did you do something with your hair? It looks really good! What is your secret?" Lana shook her head. " That's what I thought."

Saleth blushed, feeling tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't think she was anywhere near attractive anymore because of the scars that riddled her body. She thought that the prison had taken that all away from her. Saleth believed that she was repulsive and that no one would look in her direction. Yet, here was Drake saying that he did find her attractive. A simple compliment was enough to move her. She didn't often receive compliments about her appearance. The only time she did was when she was in dragon form or her attire changed. Try as she might, Saleth couldn't fight back the tears. Her eyes were getting glassier by the minute.
Drake seemed to be too embarrassed to look at her and had looked away after admitting again that he had found her attractive. After a moment, he looked back at her. It were as if he were in thought then. Speaking her name suddenly, Drake went up to her and held her hands. Saleth couldn't help but feel her face color when he did so. For someone that was scared of fighting and death, he was being pretty bold right now. He admitted again that she was attractive and that he wanted to be with her. Saleth couldn't help but feel her face grow warmer as her face grew redder. Drake wanted her to teach him how to be a dragon and that no matter how much he protested and ran away, she would always be there to drag him back. He needed someone that wouldn't give up on him.
Saleth felt the tears finally overflow and she couldn't stop them. She couldn't wipe them away either with Drake holding her hands. "...No one's...ever said that about me."
Saleth smiled up at him despite her tears. This was going much faster than she expected but it made her feel happy to know that Drake didn't reject her and wanted to be with her. "I...I'll be with you, Drake. I've...not felt this happy for a long time."

As tears formed in Saleth's eyes, Drake was a little worried. " Did I say something wrong?" He thought. " I knew I was bad at this but I didn't think I was that bad." Maybe he shouldn't have said anything to her when he did. He wasn't lying to her. He did find ner attractive even with her scars. He had a few scars as well, he even had holes in his wings.
He didn't think he would find anyone, or be in the outside world for that matter. He always thought he would die in the prison just like his parents did. Now that he was finally free, he wanted to experience the real world. When Saleth finally said no one's ever told her that Drake shook his head. " Yes they have." He said. " I just did." When Saleth said that she will be with him and that she hasn't been this happy for a while Drake smiled. " Well that ends today. I'm free now. I want to experience the real world with you.... even if it means running towards danger I'll go where you go... from a distance."
As the drinks were getting ready Lana kept giving Derio a look. He tried to ignore it by filing his nails, but he could still feel her look. Lana knew there was something Derio wasn't telling her, but she couldn't figure out what. " So Derio.... why did it take you so long to come back?" Derio looked up at her, gulping. " There was... traffic on the way to the living world." Lana glared at him. " Traffic that took fifteen years to get through?" Derio shrugged. " What can I say? Some people can't drive."

Saleth didn't mean to cry but she did. She couldn't help it. When she admitted that no one had ever said that to her before, Drake stated that they did. He had just told her so. Saleth, despite the tears, lightly smiled. Eventually, she was able to bring a hand up to her eyes and wipe her tears away. She was a bit humiliated, having broken down so easily but she couldn't help it. Drake had said just the right thing to have caused a serious wall to break down. A figurative wall that Saleth had formed to protect herself in the world from emotional things. It had been her only means to keep herself distanced from everything so she didn't lose herself and go insane during the times when she was being tortured in the prison.
After she admitted that she was happy, not being happy for a while, Drake had smiled. He said that her unhappiness ended today and that he wanted to experience the world with her now that he was free. Even if it was dangerous, he would go with her but more at a distance. His cowardliness was still prominent. Still, Saleth didn't think nor expected to change him. If anything, the training she intended to put him through was so that he knew enough to defend himself. In the event of getting cornered, Drake would know how to get himself out of the corner and resume his running from danger.
"No worry, danger will worry about me if it ever arrives on our travels together. I won't let anything happen to you." She would show him what the worlds were like and what freedom was like. She would teach him how to be a dragon. On top of everything, she would also show him how to defend himself. He didn't have to be a warrior though, just know how to fend for himself in case she couldn't get to him right away. Survival was important especially since their race was. Chances are, there was a possibility they might even be the last two. Seiya would be third if she weren't a Heartless but she was a Heartless. Saleth would have to kill her sister eventually to put her out of her misery. Of course, she never told anyone this.

When Drake said he would follow her at a distance he meant it. Even if he couldn't fight, he wouldn't leave her. He would just go to a very safe distance and watch, like he did at the prison. He was a coward, but he would never leave Saleth high and dry. " Maybe once you teach me how to fight... I won't run away as much." He smiled a little.
Drake had spent his entire life inside the prison, so he didn't know about the outside world. He had no idea about other of his race besides his parents and Saleth. When Saleth said she wouldn't let anything happen to him, he smiled. " And I will make sure afterwards you'll have a meal to eat." Drake never told anyone, but he wanted to stay at home and cook after seeing the worlds.
Lana taped her foot as Derio kept avoiding her questions. She knew he was up tp something while in the underworld, but she didn't knkw what exactly. But she did have a pretty good idea. Derio avoided looking into her eyes until finally his drinks were ready. Taking the tray he looked back at Saleth and Drake. He couldn't be left alone with Lana. He could only ignore her for so long without caving in. " Well we don't want to keep them waiting!" He said. " I did promise them drinks!" He took the tray and started speed walking to them. Lana was close behind him. Once he got back to them he handed them both a drink, leaving over ten drinks for himself. " Enjoy!" He sat back down until Lana sat next to him, still giving him the look. Derio started shaking as he tried to drinks. The pressure was already getting to him. He needed something to keep her busy. " So where are you two going to go after this?!" He looked at them both with a worried look. He mouthed the words " help me".

Saleth let out a bit of a laugh when Drake said that if she taught him how to fight, he wouldn't run away as much. "That would be a sight to see." However, even if she did teach him how to fight, Saleth didn't want for either of them to run into any danger. She would rather their travels be safe. Sadly, that wouldn't be the case. There was danger everywhere. Hopefully, she would teach him enough so that he would be able to defend himself.
When Saleth said that she wouldn't let anything happen to Drake, she rose a brow when he told her that after she would have a meal to eat. That was domestic sounding for a male, not that she minded it. Saleth couldn't exactly cook all that well. Of course, she never told anyone that. Her father, when he was alive, had left Saleth with he impression that all males didn't do anything domestic. Not that it mattered if Drake was different. Saleth had learned during her travels that humans and other beings were different. Every male and female was different. It wouldn't be unheard of for her to run into a male dramatically different than her father. So, she wasn't shallow to think all males would be like her father. In a way, she liked the fact that Drake was different.
"After all our traveling, a meal would be most welcome."
It looked like things were getting on the right foot with Saleth and Drake this time. By the time that Derio and Lana had returned, Saleth blinked in their direction. Derio had handed Drake and Saleth a drink before sitting down. "Thank you." Lana sat down next to Derio. From the look of things, Lana didn't look very happy and Derio seemed rather nervous. Just what had happened while they had been away? Saleth sort of felt bad for having not taken notice being distracted with Drake.
Where were they going to go? The worried look on Derio's face and the mouthed words "help me" made Saleth wonder what had happened. If Lana was upset, Saleth couldn't blame her. It had been a while since she last saw her husband, after all. Saleth looked over at Drake then. Did he know of any world names he wanted to see first? "Hm...I don't mind going to any worlds. Are there any worlds you heard of that you wanted to see, Drake?" Saleth had questioned him. "If not, we can go anywhere. Maybe see my homeworld first. Ironic that the name is "Land of Dragons"." Saleth wasn't sure about drinking. She hadn't really drunk in the past. Maybe sip a little at a time? Bringing the glass to her lips, Saleth sipped some. It had a strong, fruity taste to it.

Drake was kind of hoping Saleth wouldn't hold him to not running away as much. It would be some time before he got that brave. But if Saleth wasn't going to let anything happen to him he had nothing to worry about. As Saleth rose an eyebrow at him Drake realized what he said. Thankfully he didn't spill all the beans. He didn't know how she would react if he told her he wanted to be a househusband. He was always laughed at when people found out he wasn't the manly type. It's why he tried to keep it a secret by pretending to be brave in front of people. He was about to run away in shame when Saleth spoke again. To his surprise Saleth didn't seem bothered by what he said. In fact she seemed all for it. He smiled.
Then Derio quickly ran by and handed them drinks. As he sat down he seemed worried about something, and Lana didn't look too happy with him. " Uh...thanks." Both Derio and Saleth asked him where he wanted to go. As Derio mouthed the words help me, Drake didn't know what to do. He didn't want to get on Lana's bad side or Derio's, so he didn't say anything. " I... always wanted to go to some place with water.." he said. " I don't know any worlds... not even my home."
Derio handed Lana a beer then quickly looked away from her. She took a sip, keeping her glare on him. It was like she was daring him to make a move. Derio looked back to Saleth and Drake, still shaking as he took another sip. " Well if it's water you want you should try Atlantica. Though be warned if you go there you'll change into mermarids and mermen. Not that many people like that, including me." He looked away as Lana's glare was still getting to him. Lana took another sip. " Or you could always come to new Yuio. We're still rebuilding, so there's lots of free land. You could move there if you want." She still kept her glare on Derio as she spoke.

Saleth could see some hint of worry pass over Drake's face after talking about a meal but she didn't know why. She didn't realize that he was embarrassed to mention anything that would be the opposite of what one would expect of a male. Honestly, Saleth for a lad wasn't all that lady-like anyway. She was abrasive and aggressive for a female. After her torture in the prison she had been in, she had been far worse until she adjusted some to the free life again. Now that she was free, she was still pretty gruff for a lady of her species. After all, their kind had acted mostly like humans at times and were just as refined.
After a moment, Drake smiled in response to what she said about a meal. "I know this might sound silly but maybe you could teach me a few things there. I've um...not had much chance to learn how to cook right." Saleth rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment after admitting that fact. What kind of girl couldn't cook?
Then, it came down to where Drake wanted to go. Apparently, he wanted to see a world with a lot of water. Saleth tilted her head at that. She hadn't ever been to worlds that had a lot of water before. According to Lana there was a world that had a lot of water called Atlantica. However, it turned people into merpeople. What would it mean for dragons? Probably would turn them into water dragons. How would they even access the Gummi Ship? Saleth guessed that she could put it in teleport mode where whenever they wished to leave, the ship would teleport them out at the push of a button by the gummi-mote.
"Hm, Atlantica and New Yuio?" It didn't register at first what Lana was suggesting with New Yuio. Immediately, when it did register, Saleth turned red. "W-Wait a minute..." Then again, the two didn't really have a home either. Even Saleth didn't despite her former home being in the homeworld she came from. If they planned on traveling, they did need a place to return to in order to rest from all the traveling. The two of them did agree to be with each other. What was the harm in living in the same home?
"I-I...guess we...could check it out..."

Drake was surprised to find out Saleth wasn't such a great cook. " Really?" He asked. " I can teach you a lot of things about cooking!" Cooking was one of the few things Drake was good at. He took after his father, who was also good at cooking. " You teach me how to fight and I'll teach you how to cook."
There seem to be two worlds of interest from Lana and Derio. Atlantica and New Yuio. Drake didn't like the side effects of Atlantica, he was worried about what he would be turned into. Lana seemed to be hinting at Saleth and him moving to New Yuio. He turned a little red. Saleth seemed all for it. " Then let's go to New Yuio. It's been a long day. A place to rest would be nice."
Lana's stare was slowly destroying Derio. He tried to drink to take the pressure off. He soon drank all the other beers he brought with him. Because of his immunity, it did nothing to get rid of the pressure. Thankfully it also meant he wouldn't say anything he didn't mean too under the influence. By the time he finished Drake said he wanted to go to New Yuio. " Great let's go now! Lana can show us around, since I just came back from hell." He quickly got out of his seat. " Come on Lana we don't want to keep these two waiting!" Lana glared at him a bit more before finishing her beer. She was on to what Derio was trying to do. " Alright then. I can take us there." Lana ooened up a portal.
Just then three succubus started walking towards them. They smiled and waved at Derio. Derio had a worried look on his face. He knew who they were. Why did they have to show up now of all times? " Come on let's go! We have no time to stall!" He then pushed Lana into the portal. " Come on you two hurry up!"

Saleth felt embarrassed admitting that she couldn't cook. Drake looked surprised. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea? Then, Drake said that he could teach her a lot of things about cooking. Saleth wasn't sure if it were possible. She tried to follow recipes and the like and usually did a terrible job at it. It didn't take long before Drake said that Saleth will teach him how to fight and he will teach her how to cook. A smile appeared on her face then, making her feel less embarrassed. "It's a deal, then!" she said with a smile.
When Drake agreed to go to New Yuio, it was settled. They would all go there. "Yes, it has been a long day." Saleth hadn't forgotten the fight they all endured. It hadn't been fun during some intervals. Saleth was pretty sure that she would be getting sore soon. If not, she would be really feeling it tomorrow.
Derio piped up, stating that they should go now and Lana could show them around. Derio didn't know of this world either considering he had been dead for so long. Derio got up out of his seat, Lana agreeing to go. Lana didn't look the least bit pleased. Saleth wondered when the actual fight was going to break out. Derio seemed to be walking on eggshells. It were as if he knew he were in trouble for something. As Lana opened up a portal, agreeing to go.
Then, there were three beings approaching from afar. They seemed to be looking at someone, smiling and even waving. Saleth could tell they were some kind of demon. Then, Derio seemed to act stranger. Urging them to go, Derio had pushed Lana into the portal she had created as if he were worried about something all of a sudden that made him eager to leave the area. Derio then told them to hurry up.
"Why such the hurry and who are they" Saleth asked looking from Drake to the evasive Derio.

Drake smiled as Saleth agreed to go to New Yuio. Even if he was just watching from the sidelines, he saw the damage all their attacks did. " When we get there we should probably find a place to rest," he said. " Or just take things slow.." It was then Derio was in a sudden hurry to leave. He even pushed Lana into her own portal. " Alright alright I'm going.." Drake looked at Saleth and then went into the portal.
Derio knew Lana was going to yell at him for pushing her, but it was better than what she would do if she saw those succubus. He would be back in the underworld if she saw them. Despite his urging Saleth still decided to ask questions. She was going to be the end of him. " It doesn't matter who they are!" He protested. " Just go!"
Derio was about to push Saleth into the portal as well. But he froze when the succubus came to them. " Long time no see Derio," one of them said smiling. " Now that your wife is gone you want to hang with us again?" Normally Derio wold have said yes, but given the situation he couldn't. He looked at them. " Go! Shoo! Get! Scram!" It was clear he wanted nothing to do with them right now. " What's the matter babe?" One of them asked putting a hand on her hip. " Scared your wife will see us? I promise I'll be quite this time." She giggled as the third one looked at Saleth. " Does she want to have fun too? You know my policy on-" Derio cut her off. " What part of scram don't you three get!?" He looked at Saleth. " And what part of go don't you understand?!"

Saleth smiled back at Drake as he told her that once they got to New Yuio, they should rest or take things slow. "Alright, sounds good to me." Derio, on the other hand, was in a real hurry to leave the casino all of a sudden. As soon as Lana had opened up her portal, he had pushed her into it. Drake and Saleth didn't even have much time before he was ushering them to move it. Drake finally relented before glancing at Saleth and then walking through the portal.
Of course, being the stubborn dragon that she was, Saleth would be the last of the group. When she had asked those questions, Derio stated that it didn't matter who they were. He sounded upset and...frightened. Like he was trying to hide something. Derio looked like he was about to try and push her into the portal. Saleth bared her teeth in response, about to growl at him in warning before the Succubus had caught up to them.
They had all greeted Derio, clearly knowing him. What they had said made Saleth raise a brow. What did they mean by the part about Lana? Saleth crossed her arms with a brow raised. Derio immediately told them to scram. It didn't take them long before they asked him what was wrong. What they were saying, Saleth now knew just what was going on. They were women he had affairs with. Well, wasn't that just peachy? As one took notice of Saleth, she furrowed her brows at her.
Before Saleth could respond, Derio had cut the woman off then told them to scram again. Then, once again, he told Saleth to go. Saleth narrowed her eyes at him. "Your ass is grass, you do realize it, right?" Saleth scoffed at him and left through the portal finding Drake and Lana on the other side.

" No wait!" Derio called out after Saleth. He knew if Lana found out he was going straight back to the underworld. He just came back. He ran through the portal after her. Thankfully the portal closed behind him. The portal had taken them to a weird place. It was an all white castle like place. There were many different rooms there. These weren't any ordinary rooms. Each of them led to a pocket dimension that looked like a whole different world.
On the left and right were windows. On the left there was a forest outside. To the right there was a volcanic region. Derio stopped and looked around, he had been here before. Lana looked at Saleth and Drake. " Welcome to the realm of the goddesses!" She smiled. " I figured this would be the best first stop. After all if you want a really good spot you'll want to meet with the other goddesses. They're this way."
Lana skipped on ahead, leading them somewhere. Derio snapped back to reality and ran after her. " Lana! We need to talk!" Lana just kept skipping along. " There'll be time for that later." Drake looked at Saleth. " Is this type of place normal?" He asked. He had never been outside the prison, but he never heard of a place like this before.
Lana led them to a very large chamber. In there the other goddesses were sitting around a table talking. Riley was also there. He was dressed as a maid waiting on the goddesses. He was feeding what looked to be the nature goddess grapes. After he was done he started fanning them all. He then noticed them. " mom? Dad?" He didn't want them to see him like this. He was never going to hear the end of it.
Lana was a bit busy glaring at a goddess with yellow hair. She had lightning bolts around her. " Long time no see, Lana." She said. " What are they doing here?" Lana looked at her. " They're with me Bolt." It was clear they were rivals. Lana then looked at the other goddesses. " You all know my husband Derio. This is Saleth and Drake."

When Saleth got on the other side of the portal, she had to look around in wonder. It was...strange, to say the least. She had never seen a place like this one before. Of course, she had been in a castle before but not something like this one. It wasn't the castle appearance that made this area strange, it was the rooms that branched off from the hallways they were standing in. It looked as if each room opened out into another world or dimension. Saleth couldn't help but gape.
"What the-?" she exclaimed.
Only then did Lana explain that this was the realm of the Goddesses. Was it really okay for them to be here? Saleth looked from Lana to Derio and then Drake. Then, Lana went on to say that if the pair of them wanted a good spot in the world that they would need to meet with the other Goddesses. Saleth gave a nod. "Alright," she replied.
It wasn't long before Lana began skipping down the hallway, leading them to where the other Goddesses might be. As Saleth watched her go, Derio seemed to snap out of whatever he was thinking to hurry after Lana. He must have mistook Saleth's comment about her revealing what she found out. Well, at least he was going to confess to Lana. Saleth figured that Lana had already suspected something beforehand anyway. Lana, after all, wasn't foolish. When he said that they needed to talk, Lana told him that there would be a time for it later. Saleth didn't wish to see what would happen to be honest. No doubt, it wouldn't end well for Derio.
When Drake suddenly turned his attention to her, asking her if this kind of place was normal, Saleth looked around. "Well, I've never been to a place like this one. It might be normal according to this world's standards. There are many other worlds with many other differences. It's what makes them all so interesting. It is why I like to travel...or, well, did once."
They had all finally reached a room and when they entered, there was quite a number of deities in the room. Even Lana's son, Riley was in there. He seemed to be serving all of the Goddesses present. There was one particular Goddess that seemed to stand out. She had lightning bolts all around her and she seemed really focused on Lana. As soon as she spotted her, she greeted Lana before questioning her about them. It was clear they weren't friends. Lana soon explained that they were with her. After introducing them, Saleth wasn't sure what to do.
"Um...hello." She gave a bit of a wave to them, attempting to be pleasant.

From what Saleth told Drake, it seemed like different worlds had different rules for what was normal. Drake grew up in that prison, so he didn't know what any world was like besides the ones he was told about. If both Lana and Derio were from here, or at least the first version of this world, then he was willing to believe anything was possible here. " I guess that makes sense," he said. Hd then followed them to the other goddesses. Drake remained quite and just looked at Saleth. He was going to let the others do the talking.
Bolt growled at Lana. " And why did you bring them here?!" She asked. " You know good and well we are still restoring this world!" The nature goddess looked at Bolt. " Now now Bolt, no need to be unfriendly just because everything's not ready yet." She said. Lana leaned in towards Saleth. " Don't mind Bolt, it's just that time again," She told her. Bolt glared at her again. Lana only stuck her tongue out at her.
The goddess that was dressed in all black shook her head. " Riley, would you mind fixng our guests some cookies?" She asked him. " But you promised we were finally going to.... you know," He said. It was clear by the tone of his voice he had been waiting a really long time. The goddess batted her eyes. " Pretty please? I promise we'll do whatever you want tonight if you do this last little thing for us." Before she was even finished Riley ran off to bake cookies.
The head goddess, who was dressed in all white looked at Lana. " Just what is it you brought them here for?" Lana looked at her. " You see these two need a new place to stay." She said. " Some place quite and private if you know what I mean. Isn't that right Saleth? " She nudged Saleth before winking at her.
