[quote=Titanica][color=00aeef][b]"Who are these so-called 'Ortusians' you speak of? You yourself say to be one of them, yet speak of maliciousness to said knight. I take it he bares ill?"[/b][/color][/quote]

"[color=royalblue]What? No![/color]" Haley replied, incredulous. "[color=royalblue]Why would you think that--[/color]"

The Siren stopped and sighed. "[color=royalblue]I'm not sure if you know but... Ortus is a human nation that has had a... strange relationship with the rest of humanity. I don't know the specifics, maybe they worshiped the Chief God differently or something, but the Order treated Ortus differently. Looked down on them, accused them of things.[/color]" Haley began. "[color=royalblue]Back when we were scary monsters, the Order had no choice but accept Ortus into its ranks since you need every human you can get to fight us monsters.[/color]"

"[color=royalblue]And when we monsters changed and the human-monster war became less of a priority among the human nations, the tensions against Ortus blew up and so began the ongoing Order-Ortusian War. I've read that Varjo meddled in our civil war and the Order took their side, said that Ortus was with the monsters anyway.[/color]" Haley made an amused snicker. "[color=royalblue]Ironically, this made Ortus unintentionally sympathetic to monsters. Due to the war, the kingdom didn't have enough troops and resources to keep monsters out and so, monsters began openly living in Ortusian towns and no one batted an eye.[/color]"

"[color=royalblue]My parents were from an Order kingdom and planned to move to a monster-friendly state or maybe even a Green Demon Realm. They were going to cut through Ortus to make the traveling easier. But the plan fell apart when my mom gave birth to me in an Ortusian village and used up all their money to take care of me, an egg at the time.[/color]" The Siren sighed again. "[color=royalblue]So there, I was born and raised an Ortusian. I was there first monster born there and I've never met a fellow monster, 'cept my monther, until I was... I don't know, twelve or something.[/color]"

"[color=royalblue]Oh by the way, Ortus is also and mostly called the 'Moon Kingdom' because of our heavy references to the Moon in our culture.[/color]" Haley added. "[color=royalblue]People use 'Moonies' as a slur because of it.[/color]"

With his body bare and with the beautiful [u]Sylvia[/u] all over him, Neil resisted his bodily responses the best he could. "Guys! Stop this! I'm gonna pop a--!"

The seemingly-harassing activity was put to a halt when a guard patrol showed up to the scene due to the sounds of magic and commotion happening. Long story short, Neil and the monster girls were caught and hauled to the guardhouse located quite into the town of Ambran. With Neil buck naked with little covering his modesty, it was also a sort of walk of shame for him.

The guild members were charged with public indecency, believing that [u]Morgan[/u] and [u]the Altissima sisters[/u] were having intercourse with Neil outdoors in broad daylight. The guild members were now in front of the Guard Captain of Ambran in his office who appeared more tired than angry. He wore heavy armor compared to the typical guard. Fair-skinned, bald and had some aging facial hair.

"[color=aba000]Okay, so I understand you are monsters and sometimes the urge just becomes too strong.[/color]" He began. "[color=aba000]But couldn't you at least hold off until you find a room or something? Ambran has plenty of inns who don't mind what happens inside their rooms so long as it doesn't spill out.[/color]"

[quote=Yang Bethlehem]"Nevertheless, our task is completed. After my companion is healed, we would have to depart soon. May fortune smile on you on your endeavor Felipe."[/quote]

"[color=rosybrown]Likewise, you two! Likewise![/color]"

After [u]Ozzy[/u] was fixed up with some healing salves, the rebels retired back to their homes and left the two guild members just outside the town. "[color=rosybrown]With the Varjan detachment routed, you two are unlikely to encounter any Varjan presence on your way out of here. Unless of course you are not lucky, hahaha! Stay safe, you two.[/color]" Felipe bode [u]Yang[/u] and [u]Ozzy[/u] farewell before leaving.

Wait a minute, the guild members don't have the reward with them. Perhaps it was because Felipe did not know they were from the Guild?
