YM778.TV Chapter 305 Too Dangerous
"That is good; let\'s go back to the in and enjoy these sweets with the others," Tallia said after everything was paid for and the girl\'s arms were filled with bags. My goddess gestured, and a portal opened into the inn, where most of the others were waiting at the inn table on the other side. Eliza gave me a smile before she ran through, and I followed her after letting the others go through before me.
"You really do have a way with the people," Titania said as we walked to the table. She leaned into me, and I grinned.
"I just treat them like I want to be treated. I think that if you treat people with respect and give them what they need, then you will be rewarded for your kindness. I am not going to force anyone to like me, but I will do all I can to help," I explained, and Tallia nodded as she walked next to me.
"I can see that, and I think that you are good for my people. I can\'t wait to see what you can do with the others," Tallia said, and I just chuckled. I guess that we were going to have to have the talk about Kari, but I would rather have it in private.
"Yeah, I just hope that I can get them all to be like this place. The next one is going to be a little more difficult. They have been under Joselyn\'s rule for so long that they have been twisted, and they have been through some stuff that I don\'t even want to think about," I explained, and the girls all nodded.
"You are going to have a hard time going forward, so just be careful. I know you want info about Kira, but I am going to need more time with that before I get some real answers. I know it is wrong, but there are no laws against what is happening. I am going to have to work with Melrose on them, but she is still in recovery, so things have to move at the pace that they are," Tallia explained, and I sighed as I grabbed an apple turnover.
I really did want to know about Kira, but I was going to have to wait, so instead, I just enjoyed my sweets, the company of the girls, and the fact that things were going well with the people. I had a lot more work to do, but I was going to make this work for another time.
"We are going to finish eating, but then we are going to get going as far as we can to the next village. From what I saw on the map, it is more than a day\'s ride north," I explained, and Tallia nodded as Breya passed her a slice of cake she was cutting up. She already had two pieces on her own plate, but we had gotten three cakes, so the angel could have her fill.
"You are going to need to be more careful the farther north you go. There are more animals and monsters up this way, and no one camps outside around here, so you might want to set up a watch if you want to get any sleep. Even if you don\'t need it," Tallia said, and I rolled my eyes.
"I don\'t need sleep; I want it. I am not a workhorse, and it is a great excuse to get cute with one of you girls. If I just did it whenever I wanted, we would get nothing done," I grinned, and Tallia rolled her eyes back at me.
"I am just letting you know that you should be more considerate with the rest of your trip. I am sure that there will be another cultist that is going to try to attack you as well, so be on watch," Tallia said, and I nodded but grumbled.
"Do you really think it is a good idea to have everyone with me? This place was easy, but I don\'t really know if it is wise to be bringing everyone with me into these dangerous areas. I was just stuck in that dungeon, and it could have been worse if I had been there longer. What would happen if the cultist took the girls? Do you really think that I will be able to stay calm?" I asked, and the girls all started to talk at once, but I put up my hand to stop them as I looked into Tallia\'s swirling eyes.
"I am not sure. I was worried about you losing control, but I can see your reasoning. I can send them back for now," Tallia explained, and the girls erupted.
"What?! Why do we have to go back?!" Chili complained, and Eliza tossed her hands up.
"I thought we were all doing so good?!" Eliza complained, and I got up from the chair.
"You all have been, but I am worried about going forward. I told you that I lived with demons before, and some of them are good, but there are a lot of bad ones, and they are usually the type that gets summoned. I am worried that they might try to capture one of you while I am busy or even kill you. If that happens, I will lose it, so I think that it is better if everyone Goes back to Northwall for now. I think that Tallia won\'t mind bringing me home each night to sleep there, right?" I asked, looking at Tallia, and she nodded.
"I think it is probably a good idea," Velma said, and Daphne nodded.

"I really wanted to help you out!" Eliza complained, and I grinned as I went over to hug her.
"You still can, but let me deal with all the cultists first. Once Joselyn is dealt with, then you can come and help me with everything, okay?" I asked, and Eliza let out a long sigh but nodded.
Truthfully, I was the one letting out a long sigh inside. I had been on edge about bringing everyone along, but Tallia had thought it would be a good idea to keep me balanced, but there was a lot going on here. It was too much to ask for me to watch everyone and deal with things appropriately.
"I will take everyone back, but you are going to have to keep Olivia with her. I am worried about what the Blood Witches are going to do now that you have her. I don\'t know if Xena will try to attack, but I think that she had something to do with Olivia getting locked up. That is going to be another thing that you are going to have been working on," Tallia explained, and I looked over at Olivia.
"Yeah, I will try to get to the bottom of that as well. This is going to make dealing with each village easier, but I think that I am going to have to try and sneak in, so I might need a disguise," I said, and Olivia nodded.
"I am sure that we will figure something out," Olivia and I sat back down.
