Thank you to everyone who has stayed patient while my life got away from me. I'm trying to get back into writing, so this is a short chapter to practice my writing skills. Next chapter should be longer (and sooner)

As I finished telling the story, I opened my eyes and looked at the gathering in front of me. They were all lost in thought, trying to make sense of it all.
"You mean you have more magic than the elves or the dwarves?"
Rushwillow smacked Khitano on the arm. "Really? That's not even the important part. I mean, it explains how she was able to do that mind mojo at the bandit camp, but it doesn't really help us."
Taleran looked concerned. "What it doesn't explain is what the orbs are or why he would be gathering them."
"I explained to you that each of the other races were born from us nymphs. Do you really think we could keep our girlish figure if we were giving birth to an orc?" I noticed a few glances at my belly and nethers along with some cheek reddening as I modeled my body. "The orbs are a magical artifact - sort of a womb. But it has a lot of power in and of itself as well."
"So, he could be trying to tap into it to gain power or create an army."
"Or he could just have taken it to lure me out of the water. There's no way I'm going to give up until I get it back. If he wanted to make me come to him, that would be a pretty surefire way."
Taleran shook his head. "No, because that wouldn't explain why he had them all gathered around him. He's trying to tap into their power."
"But he can only do that through sex right?"
