Jaina sighed as she lay in Roric's arms while Gisley carried them across the countryside on the magical disk. Evalynn and Chandice sat at the front chatting with the fairy, who was invisible again. It was surprising how fast she could fly considering her wings, and they enjoyed the speedy trip that could easily go cross country to avoid roads.
The sun had risen maybe an hour ago, and they expected to be back to town by noon at the rate they were going. Unfortunately, the sky was overcast and a little stormy, raising some concern that it might rain before they got there. Still, it meant a cool breeze was blowing, and Gisley's glitter was trailing in the breeze, making them all feel relaxed and content.
Jaina snuggled into Roric's warm chest, savoring the breeze on her naked skin. She opted not to wear her red dress, enjoying being naked for her master, who greatly appreciated it.
"This is nice," Jaina said as he stroked her side. "Us alone as we zip across the countryside."
"It is nice," Roric agreed. "It almost seems impossible to be this happy."
"I know, right? I keep thinking I am going to wake up, and this was all a dream," Jaina said as she nestled in closer. "But I don't want it to be a dream. I want to stay here and be your slave."
"This is a dream come true," Roric said as he looked down. "And it's never going to end."
"Good," Jaina sighed as thunder rumbled in the distance.
"We are going to get wet," Chandice grumbled. "And just after we took that lovely bath."
"Now that was a dream," Roric laughed and turned to look at the dark clouds ahead. "Too bad one of you isn't a druid."
"You have to be super high level to change the weather," Gisley called from ahead. "Some fairies can change the local weather slightly, but all I can do is raise a slight fog or cool an area to cause a dew to set."
"Priests of the storm or tempest gods can do it too," Chandice added. "And I think there is a variety of storm-based wizards."
"If it rains, we get wet," Jaina said with a shrug. "No big deal. I used to like walking in the rain."
"So did I," Gisley replied. "It rains a lot in Japan."
"I am envisioning her walking with a hello kitty umbrella," Evalynn said with a laugh.
"I had a perfectly normal umbrella, thank you," Gisley replied. "But it was lovely to be out during sakura season when all the trees were covered in pink flowers. All the good sakura flavored foods came out then."
"I have no idea what a sakura is," Chandice commented.
"A Japanese cherry tree," Roric explained. "They only bloom for a couple of weeks, and they use the flowers to make all sorts of flavored treats."
"How do you know all that?" Gisley asked from someplace ahead.
"We are gamers," Jaina replied as she played with Rorics hand. A lot of the adult MMOs we played were Japanese."
"Oh," Gisley replied, then asked if they had ever tried any.
"No," Roric said sadly. "We always meant to order one of those food boxes when the season came around, but life never permitted it."
"That's so sad," Gisley said as an extra puff of glitter trailed out of nowhere.
"You know, it's too bad she's invisible doing this," Chandice said with a wry smile. "I would love to put her in one of those ponygirl outfits and hold some leads to steer her while I crack her ass with a whip."
"Hahaha!" Jaina cried out as she tried to picture Gisley in that outfit.
"I would wear that for you," Gisley called back.
"Yeah, but it's no fun if we can't see you," Chandice replied.
"I know what you could put her in that you could see," Evalynn commented. "She worked at a maid cafe, so put her in one of those sexy maid outfits while working the rogues guild dining hall."
"That's a great idea," Chandice agreed. "I will have to see if I can find an outfit."
"You know I get a master's panel at level thirty," Roric interjected. "I think it gives me clothing options."
"I feel clueless today," Chandice sighed. "What's a masters panel?"
Jaina smiled as Roric explained it was an interface that allowed him to tweak cosmetic options on his slaves. He could change their hair, slightly adjust body proportions, and alter the color of almost everything. It even came with some basic clothing options, but they could buy a slave's wardrobe and outfits to add to it. Then he could link his panel and force any outfit he wanted on the girls.
"Could I use this panel?" Chandice asked as she looked at Evalynn.
"I think I can create an actual physical device," Roric replied and rubbed Jaina. "But I am not sure if I can give you permission to use it."
"I bet you can if you're married," Jaina said and looked at Chandice. "Then you can dress or strip us at the touch of a button."
"I kind of like dressing you by hand," Chandice replied. "There is something sexy about being the one who is pulling your panties up."
"Speaking of which, I am still wearing yours," Jaina reminded.
"I know, and I will have you put them on me later," Chandice said.
"Oh, I get to dress my girlfriend for once," Jaina teased. "I will make sure they are nice and wet before sliding them up your legs."
"I made you keep wearing them because you got them wet," Chandice scolded.
"If you wanted them wet, you should let Gisley wear them," Evalynn suggested.
"I will wear them," Gisley offered as Chandice rolled her eyes.
"I am trying to make the point that I want my panties to be dry," Chandice complained and swatted Jaina's leg. "Now be a good girl and dry them out."
"Yes, mistress," Jaina teased.
"Be careful; I might start to like that," Chandice laughed as they crested a slight rise and suddenly came to a stop.
"What the?" Roric said they surveyed a burned and blasted landscape. The grass and a few trees had been consumed by fire for a considerable distance, leaving a charred and barren landscape. Streams of smoke still floated from smoldering areas, and what looked like a dozen burned bodies lay in the immediate area. All of them were so badly burned that it was impossible to tell what race they were, and if not for metal plates that had one been armor, roughly what class.
"What happened here?" Evalynn said as she stood on the disk to look around.
"Some kind of battle," Roric said as he too looked about for the cause.
"There are a lot of players involved, Jaina said as they sat up. "But what could have killed so many near the spawns?"
"Maybe something powerful lured in by a high level," Evalynn said. "I have seen some jackasses do it before. They lure something dangerous from the wilds outside the ring into the newbie area and then watch it rampage."
"What could they have lured in that did this?" Chandice asked, then looked skyward. "I wonder if it was a dragon."
"Let's hope whatever it was, it is long gone," Roric said as he grabbed his spear. "Evalynn, take the collar off, put your armor on and take up your weapon. We are going to cross the battlefield and race straight for the town. If anything dangerous attacks us, Evalynn and I will delay it while Gisley carries the rest of you away."
"What?" Jaina said in alarm. "You can't expect us to abandon you."
"You out of all of us must run," Roric insisted. "You are a monster player, and you are too far from your home point. If you die out here, you will reset while the rest of us will get a four-hour nap."
"Gisley can carry you away faster than you could run," Evalynn said as she began to put her armor on quickly. "It only makes sense you go."
"I don't mind trying to stay and fight," Chandice said. "Why don't I summon my level ten devil just to have an extra body to throw at it."
"Go ahead," Roric agreed, and she jumped down to begin the summoning. A moment later, the creature was spawned, and she ordered it onto the disk and to stealth, so it wasn't seen. She then joined the others before Gisley took off as fast as possible, Racing across the smoldering landscape.
They watched in all directions as the charred region passed by, seeming to stretch in the same direction they were headed. An hour later, they were still passing over ash when they noticed plumes of smoke on the horizon.
"What do you think that is?" Chandice asked.
"That is our destination," Roric sighed. "That is the town we are staying in."
