Lisa was having a wonderful dream, the kind of dream that a starving man would have as they are dreaming of a table full of wonderful foods, or a religious man to speak to their god. For her, she dreamed of living in a noble mansion and not having to worry about raising her children. In her dream, she had two children, a boy and a girl. The boy was a large and strong teen, she was not sure of what evolution was, but he was large and muscular. Clearly a warrior and a leader of men. Her daughter was younger than her son by five years, not yet finding her own evolution yet, but she had the early marks of beauty not yet fully fulfilled. In addition to that she had an aura of magic about her. A mage of the highest caliber. She also had a glint of childish mischievousness about her a true terror for her friends.

  Jeff awoke to a loud cat purring to his side. It was not that, nor the pantherkin’s grabbing his left arm to her chest while her left leg was draped over his own. It was not even the rubbing of the knee of said leg against his privates. It was the sudden dampness on his hip that awoke him. For a moment he thought someone had poisoned him in his sleep, but feeling his summons not being alarmed and still present put him at ease. Especially when the pantherkin rubbed her chin on his shoulder lovingly. He took a look at his system clock before noticing the pair of eyes opening wide in the dark awakening to probably the same reason he had.

  ---

  ‘ Oh no, oh no, oh no... OH NO...’

  Lisa panicked for a moment before she realized what position she was in and what she had done in her sleep. The worst part is, that she could definitely tell he was enjoying everything.

  “ Um, morning?”

  Jeff chuckled at this as one of his constructs lit a match to light a lantern. They stayed silent as their eyes grew accustomed to the new light. In addition, he saw her face becoming increasingly red.

  “ Soooo... I am going to wash up...”

  Lisa then sulked away into the washroom as Jeff looked down at himself and whispered.

  “ This is going to be a pain all day isn’t it.”

  Lisa ignored that as she raced to the washroom and found out she had stripped off her clothing before going to bed, making the fact that Jeff was just as naked as her even worse. It took her a minute until the blush was off her face and she was looking for the soap in the dark. It was at that moment one of the maid constructs entered and lit the lantern in there as well before setting down a change of clothing for her on a table and leaving. She took a moment more to calm herself before taking some nearby soap and started scrubbing.

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  It took her nearly an hour before she was done scrubbing, the majority of it being the hair on her head. Normally she would keep it cut short, but with all the issues with money recently and losing her old place with her stuff, she never had the opportunity. She sighed reluctantly letting the comb go as she finished feeling pampered before leaving the washroom to a waiting Jeff, clearly cleaned and fully dressed.

  “ Ready to go?”

  It was a little surprising to her to find the room now full of uniformed individuals, two of which had the locked chest between them to be carried. The summon that was similarly dressed to Jeff seemed to be directing them.

  “ Oh wow, I knew you were a summoner, but I did not picture this.”

  Jeff merely smiled at that as he gestured toward the door.

  “ No time for breakfast sadly. That and I do not want to spend half a gold for another meal I would be happy to spend half a silver on when on the street.”

  Lisa shrugs to this and starts going out the door. It did not take long for their procession to leave the inn and the only words spoken by the two was to let her know they were leaving via the south gate. Which they get through just as the sun starts rising. The summons with torches start putting them out while others took guard as they soon changed directions to going west. It was another hour on foot before they came to a small clearing in the woods that Lisa had used to camp many times before on her way to dungeons.

  “ We are five minutes late,I could only guess at where they are. They were suppose to be out of the west gate before us.”

  Lisa blinked in surprise to that before shaking her head. “ The west gate is the commercial one. It is not every day that a human and a dragonkin will be journeying with two B rank dwarves. You do not have anything truly valuable on them right?”

  “ Just all our stuff we bought.”

  To that, Lisa just groaned.

  “ Oh yeah, I forgot about that spending spree yesterday. I doubt we will get even half of it”

  “ You will get all your stuff las, I bet my beard on it.”

  Lisa quickly spun around to find the voice and could not see anyone.

  “ So, lil’ commander, I hope you picked someone for more than their looks.”

  Lisa turned around again to find an elderly dwarf standing beside the otherworlder, who had a smile on his face.

  “ Ah, you’re here. I was wondering if I even got the right spot.”

  “ Aye, you got the right spot. Mind if I test her, not that I doubt your judgment, but adding a woman makes everything more complicated.”

  Lisa squinted her eyes at the dwarf, and to her surprise, he started fading from her view. It did not take her more than a second to decide to activate her detection skill, but that too failed to find the dwarf.

  “ Hmm, B rank perception, but A rank with an active skill. Lets see how she reacts to...”

  Before the dwarf even finished speaking Lisa dodged to the side and brought out her short sword, but instantly lost it when a powerful blow shattered the back of her hand. She did not even scream as she immediately dodged again to avoid another invisible blow. The next thing she knew she was sitting on her rear.

  “ She’s pretty good for an under level fifty. A little perception and agility stacked, but that ain’t a bad thing.”

  The dwarf appears again with a hand offering to help her up, she scoffs at this before taking it and almost dragged back to her feet.

  “ You can just call me the Quartermaster. I recall you being given some of the commander's cards. Care to summon them for me so I can see what I am working with?”
