"Yami!!... How can you bring a man to our place?"
"So Ila that's everything, he is cool right? Hihihi..."
"You bitch don't hihihi us, that's a fucking man. They are our enemy, we should definitely chase him out."
...
"Goldie, you know i can hear them clearly."
"I have been saying it, your female kinds are kind of scary. Shouldn't we leave here before they come out and tear us into pieces?"
"Nah, it shouldn't come to that, and i think there is a reason Yami brought us here to this women only base. She wouldn't watch us get humiliated, that's for sure."
...
"Yay!!!, Sky is coming inside."
"Matron Ila, we can't trust a man not to talk of a random stranger that she claims knows nothing about the simulation at this stage..."
"Yes, is he a caveman or something. Even newbies understand the basics."
"Ila has spoken. Its final... Hihihi."
"Bitch wait... Matron stop her."
...
At this nightly hour of the safe zone- when the sky is dark and dotted with lights coming from various sky vessels and sky vehicles, when some night flowers are glowing brightly in the dark alongside brightly lit lamps hung outside buildings of woods and glass, when cool and gentle wind blows like at sea in the night, and as a gigantic purple moon descends seemingly towards the earth; a flower lamp hung on a wooden fence about eigthy meters tall, illuminates the figure of Skylar who sits on a vertically placed log with leg crossed and body leaning on the wooden fence.
"Sky!"
Through a wide opened wooden gate hinged to the fence located about two meters from where Skylar is, Yami who called out excitedly rush out from it, and runs toward the sitting Skylar with happiness written on her face.
"Sky, Ila says you can stay at our place, come on." She grabs Skylar's arm and pulled him up, then turn to look at Goldie who perches on top of the wooden fence right above the log. "Miss crow you too."
"Sky, i won't be following you inside you know... Call me when you need me. I will be touring the place." Goldie flapped his wings and flew off into the distance.
And Skylar whose eyes reflected his dwindling figure as he flew away replied telepathically as usual. "Okay, just be careful and don't ever get bullied."
I see miss crow does not like low altitude. Yami thought and shortly after, she pulled Skylar into the territory behind the wooden fence.
...
This their style and architecture is really next level. Skylar thought as he took in the view of what stood in front of him. The view of a large building that looks like a cathedral, made of white and carved wooden beams and columns, its walls and windows made of crystal glass, and more than three hundred meters tall with three apparent floors as seen from outside.
Most of this flowers do look like lavender. Is their some sort of connection. In front of this large building as Skylar saw it, is a garden of many different giant flower plants with glowing flowers of different color, and through which is a wide passage that leads to the portico of the building. And it is in front of this passage Skylar with Yami by his side paused.
"Let's go inside. Ila is dying to meet you." Yami with Skylar's arm held tightly under hers lead Skylar through the passage and towards the wide open entrance of the building at the end of the awe-inspiring portico.
...
"Matron, you must never show kindness to him no matter how he acts. Men are crazy gifted at deception..."
"Yes! Matron, you must not give in to that Yami. After we question him we throw him out, period."
"Are you two not overeacting. He is just a single man. Like... what can he do?..."
"All men are no good people. We shouldn't deal with them evil bastards"
"Yes! We must be vigilant at all times. Men are also very smart, who knows... he might make your stomach swell up with a look."
"That's not how it works. You don't..."
(Tap, tap, tap...)
"They are coming. You lot behave yourselves."
(Tap, tap, tap...)
This place is really very big... The ether is even a lot richer here and flows evenly... they even have this tree... Skylar with his hands locked with Yami after walking through the building vestibule of crystal glass walls entered into the space behind it.
He scans the stark and solemn hall that he stepped into. A hall about two hundred meters tall and about half the size of the building's total width, and as usual has crystal glass walls and a crystal glass ceiling which on top of it- as one can see through it is a flower garden that serves as the primary source of the hall's illumination along with crystal chandelier hanging below it. And also at two of its corner along the left side is a white sofa set each, and in few depressions like potholes scattered on the hall's sparkling white wooden floor are flowering trees and flowering shrubs of brightly glowing flowers rooted in them snugly.
"Let's go to the second floor. Ila is on the second floor." Once again Yami with one of her hands locked with Skylar's, led him towards the other end of the chamber in front where a flight of wooden stairs is, after he has had his fill of the hall's otherworldly sight.
(Tap, tap, tap...)
***
The two after a short walk along a corridor they stepped on to after they completed the flight of stairs now stand in front of their destination- a white wooden door fitted to a crystal glass wall.
"Sky, you will go inside by yourself." Yami said, then whispers to Skylar, "Be careful of a homo-cat when you enter."
She released Skylar's hand and she pushed him at the back towards the large white wooden double door standing in front of them.
(Tap tap, Tap tap...)
She is definitely up to something. Skylar sighed as he watched her running figure recede along the corridor. Then he walked closer to the door, pushed it and entered the room behind it after the door opened with gentle and soft steps.
...
"Hmm!.." Her presence is absolutely overwhelming... its like she is sucking me in while also trying to make me go flat on the floor.
With slow and seemingly labored steps, Skylar after he entered the room more solemn than the earlier chamber approached a female figure as tall as him, seemingly illuminated by the cool white light coming from the stained crystal glass wall behind her; and who wears a green ballroom gown ardorned with golden lace, a face veil that covers her face totally, a tiara of stones that looks like emeralds, golds and diamonds on her scandinavian blonde hair, and a golden skin tight long gloves on both hands.
Yeah, they are the biggest i will ever see in my life on a regular human. Mouth almost drooling, heart beating faster than usual, and as he brings to a halt his slow steps; Skylar ogles foolishly the colossal chest of the female figure emphasized by the top of her gown. For some reason they are well proportioned and don't look a tiny bit gross, how?... Is she the reincarnation of the goddess of harvest and fertility. Or she is just naturally blessed with the world's biggest and most beautiful jugs ever...
"Welcome... esteemed lord Sky. I am Ila Svensson Rodriguez. The current guild leader of Lavender guild."
I want to sleep on that chest. Skylar who clearly heard her sweet, soft and soporific voice that brought him back to reality resumed his slow steps towards her, towards a white barrel chair in front of another she stands next to.
"Sir, please seat." She gestured as he reached her, pointing her delicate and slender hand towards the barrel chair next to Skylar who stood with a piercing gaze directed at her face veil.
I want to see that face. Skylar who is doing his best to make out the face behind her veil ignored her request. He keeps his green eyes on her for about half a minute until he sighed, took a deep breath, and finally plop into the chair, with his back reclined on it, arms folded and legs crossed. And after him, Ila also sat down gracefully on the chair behind her, her interwoven hands on her knees.
For about five minutes of both looking at one another, Ila through her face veil and Skylar from under his hood, a strange silence reigned in the room of crystal glass walls and ceiling, that has only a pair of barrel chair both of them seats on and a footstool each beside them.
"Tch..." Why is she even covering her face... Is she a nun or something. Skylar broke the silence after a few seconds. Then he put his leg that he crossed down and leaned forward. "What's the deal with your guild? How many strong people do you have?... Are you looking for a very strong fighter?"
Ila who felt overwhelmed by Skylar's actions and questions tightened the grip of her interwoven hands as she took a deep breath. And after a few seconds with her soft and soporific voice, she replies, "We are only in need of capital at the moment. Our top combatants can match the very best the western half has to offer, but..."
"But what?" Skylar stood from his seat, drag the footstool beside him very close to her and seat on it, his legs almost brushing against hers, and his face he leaned forward, very close to hers.
(Throat clearing) Ila cleared her throat softly, then replies, "My lord... Gold is our current issue, but our major problem is we need a very powerful backer...."
"Are you guys being bullied." Skylar grabbed one of her shaking hands and held it tightly, and at the same time, her shadow on the crystal glass floor distort briefly.
So she is the homo cat yami talked about. Skylar who glanced briefly at her shadow almost chuckled, and at the same time Ila whose voice hide hesitation and who seems not to mind Skylar's hand holding hers replied,
"Its not a big matter lord Sky. Its one of those things every faction will experience..."
Great! A faction i can use. Skylar chuckled at her reply. And Still holding one of her soft and slender hands, he straightened his back- sitting upright on the footstool, then he lowered his hood to reveal his smiling and peerless chiseled face. "Ila, tell me how much gold you need."
(Clank... shing...)
Suddenly from nowhere, a cold blade appeared very close to his neck with the intent to slice it off.
"Get away from her this instant! You bastard!"
(Thomp, thomp, thomp...)
The figure responsible demanded and at the same time a frightening figure marched towards him with a presence reeking of savagery far from behind Ila.
"Stinking man, how dare you!"
The frightening figure growled. And while all this this happen, Skylar maintained a carefree smile on his face, his figure not flinching a bit.
