Chapter 96: Love A Good Stray

Dyster grabbed the limp armless form of Granvel, and jumped into the air, heading north. I let the hammer of light go, and then all the black and red metal crumbled away.

I was sure that the gauntlet was going to be worse, but I would count this as morning exercise. I turned and looked around, but I could only find four girls, Lesha was missing.

I was about to ask, putting my hand up, but Candi waved the two arms at me. I looked at her in revulsion, not unlike a few of the shop owners that couldn't just walk away.

"We can't just leave arms lying around, sorry for waving them, but Lesha is coming, and cursing Gloria's name every step. Braum is with her carrying our stuff, did you know that he wants to join our guild?" Candi said with excitement, wiggling her arms.

I sighed, but when I turned up the road to the west, Lesha and Braum were walking our way. So, I had just taken over my first guild, this will be something to talk to Healia about.

Hopefully, this new hall would have the Waystone to communicate, or I might have to upgrade to get it. I would have to be a lot more careful and not make mistakes like I did last time by not listening to advice when given.

"Gloria, get the girls out of the middle of the square, and do something about those damn arms!" I commanded.

Then I turned all the way around to the group of men who were all staring blankly. The sun was up, and I could feel it on my skin, so I sought the white flame burning inside of me.

I let my body drink in the light and warmth of the sun's energy. I began to get a feeling that intensified with each beating of my heart.

My skin had started to glow, and with each breath it took, I came closer to matching the sun. Soon, I was a radiance that was unmatched, filling then square with light, and I whispered in an otherworldly voice.

"Heal/Laeh."

The light that had built up inside of me, the roaring flame, my very will to want to help change this world burst from me like crashing waves of light. Every person that was touched by this light stood up straighter, scars disappearing.

The men in front of me all blinked focused and color-filled eyes at me. They were also looking down at the dried blood where there once had been life-threatening wounds before.

"You… are our Guild leader right?" One of the men in the front asked.

They were near impossible to tell apart with no hair, and they all wore the same gray shorts. The leadership had changed, so they were without a guild now.

"Not at the moment, but if you can show me where the Guild Hall is then we can get things sorted out. My name is Kiada, and you are? I will assume you are going to be the spokesperson for the group until we can get some clothes for you, right?" I asked the speaker.

"Naldrick, and yeah, I'll talk for the boys. Thank you for saving us, but it looks like we are working for you whether we want it or not," the man said flatly.

'That is part of the price for your life. When you save people you will be creating more servants, and the more servants you have the less you have to feed on random monsters.' -Drania.

"Part of the cost to not die. Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything I wouldn't do," I said with a smile turning to almost getting run over by a newly energized Lesha.

"BABE! You were so bright, and then you exploded with light and made Tim and Hershal run off! Wait… what are the girls doing with the arms?" Lesha asked as we both tried to get our balance.

I turned my head to find the girls… I don't know if fighting was the right word for what was going on, but it was weird. The arms had healed and were now what looked to be play fighting with the girls.

"Arms!" I yelled with no other real clue what to say to stop this troubling sight.

The arms were using their shoulders as legs, and at the sound of my voice, the two hands turned to me. Okay, now this was way too weird, but they didn't stop there.

The arms each grabbed a shoulder and then proceeded to roll towards us. Lesha screamed like a little girl and jumped into my arms as the arms had to let go and crashed into a pile on the floor.

"Kiada! Stop making such weird pets!" Lesha complained, but then screamed again when Gobby popped out.

"Hey! I am not a weirdo! Those things? The pair of arm-ostriches? Those are weird! How do they even work? Who has the brain? Do they have one? Is it shared? How do they go to the bathroom?"

I kicked Gobby across the square, and he got covered in dust and many other bits of grime. Great, now I would have to clean him, but I could also go for a good cleaning.

"Can you lead us to the Guild Hall Naldrick?" I asked the half-naked man.

"Yes, follow me, it's two streets up then we head east to the water," Naldrick said, moving around Lesha and me, but then they went and helped Braum with the mountain of things he was carrying.

"What are you going to do about those arms?!" Lesha demanded, glaring up at me.

The arms were back on their stumps beside each other. The two had their hands point at us like duckbills, twisting back and forth like confused animals.

"Well, this is not like we can just let them go free, we will have to take them with us," I said to Leash as the other girls gathered around.

"I knew you were going to say that, you just love a good stray," Lesha said, rolling her eyes at me, but I made her squeak when I pinched her bottom.


Chapter 97: Making It Official

Lesha didn't let me put her down, and I didn't mind. I had been worried about her, so I loved getting this extra time with her.

At this point, we were just clown short of a circus with the menagerie that I had gathered. Crass Waved to us as we passed, and Lesha waved for the two of us.

Looking over to see the other girls, I almost felt like I was setting a bad example. Gloria was carrying Mei like I had Lesha and Candi was riding on Trinity's back.

Together we all looked ridiculous with Gobby, the rolling arms, and the mostly naked group of men leading us. I shook my head trying to imagine all the things that Crass would embellish and blow out of proportion this time?

The whole scene had been something wild and hard to understand or believe. Then, I had healed even the pair of arms which still didn't make any sense, but then they could prove to be handy.

If nothing else, they would be an end source of bad jokes and even worse puns. The group of men were turning now and we started to head down the hill towards the ocean, but I could see the big hall up ahead.

This Guild Hall was much the same as my own, but the big difference was the red tiles on the roof. They made the place look a lot fancier than the place that I called home, but it still wouldn't be the same.

"Wow, when they said you were going out to find us a place, this is not what I had in mind, but good job! I wonder if they have one of those auto baths?" Lesha asked.

She then motioned for me to let her down once we were outside. After I did, she turned around and then kissed me, and I pulled her in close and held her there for a moment before following the men inside.

The place was almost identical to our own mess hall when we entered, except this one was filled with tables and chairs like a proper guild. We had only brought the tables out as we needed them.

Suddenly, a message popped up, and it surprised me making me step back, and back into the girls. They complained but I knew this message, and I had to block out the girls while I focused on this.

"Can you all just give me a moment to figure out some things? Also, can someone see if there is anyone in the kitchen getting food ready? It has to be getting close to lunch, right?" I asked as I took a seat at the closest table, the other girls joining me in silence.

I added all five points to my guild members. Strangely enough, the total number of guild members had doubled, but I guess that was from gaining hold of another guild.

I turned to Gloria, Candi, and Trinity, and smiled at the girls.

"Are you ready to join the Guild, and make it official?" I asked the girls.

"I would like my crest on my chest where Lesha has hers. That way I can match with Mei as you two do," Gloria said while Mei cuddled into her.

"What about you two?" I asked Candi and Trinity.

"Same as you guys. I think that it would be weird if we didn't get it in the same place. We would be the odd girl lovers out, and we are already an odd enough couple, to begin with," Candi said while grinning at Trinity.

I went through the process of marking each one of the girls, and then I got up to start with the men. Each of them demanded that I give them the Crimson Legion crest over their hearts in service to me.

I thought that it was going a bit overboard, but I also did understand that part of it was from the pact that was between us all. I had saved their lives, even if I was the one that almost took them.

In the end, I would release them all one day, but that day was far in the future. Naldrick gave me the layout of the guild and where I could find the Waystone.

This Guild Hall turned out to be very similar to my own in more ways than I had first anticipated. Everything was laid out in the same fashion as my own hall, but there was a fifth-floor area just after my suites.

That area was where we were all heading to go and talk with Healia. On the way up, the girls insisted that we stop and take a look at our rooms.

When I was back in Healia, Mei had got a room, and she was just getting settled. Then Gloria showed up, and we had left before she could join, but I assumed that the girls would be sharing rooms now.

"Why are there only two-room?" Candi complained, but Trinity was already dragging her into the room.

"Do you mind if we just stay down here and look around?" Gloria asked with her arm around Mei. "There is never much for us to say anyways when you and the god talk."

"Are you going to abandon me too?" I asked Lesha who was staring longingly at the final and far closed door that would be to our bedroom.

"Can I?" She asked, not even paying attention to me.

I rolled my eyes, and Lesha did catch that. She came over and gave me a kiss, and then put her lips to my ear.

"I think we still have a bath date, so don't spend too much time up there talking with that crazy old lady, okay?" Lesha asked me.

"Try not to pass out on the toilet again before I get back, okay? I said in reply with a smile.

"Shhht! Don't say that or the other girls will hear!" Lesha scolded me, but I just her, and turned to head up the final flight of stairs.
