A week had passed now since Xolvion had struck a deal with White Mane and the ruby lions. As agreed Xolvion had received his payment for the week, providing him with a large amount of money, more than enough to last an entire month. Of course, the first thing he did with it was take himself and the girls out for food, each of them eating their fill without restraint for once. All except for Zoranna of course, who didn't eat human food. One of the best things about now being the shadow owner of one of the largest criminal organisations in the city was the information that it provided. Thanks to this information Xolvion was able to learn of the empress of Earth wear abouts. Finding that she was a high ranking member of the adventures guild and lead a party of hero's. Xolvion knew that taking them on in a head to head battle would be difficult. He had also taken the time to observe the empress of Earth along with her party members, gaining as much intel

The morning had come for Xolvion and the others, giving them an early wake-up call as the sun shone brightly. Xolvion had been the first to wake up, walking out of his tent in just his pants as he raised his arms above his head stretching profoundly.Gwen and Owen soon came out of their tents and greeted Xolvion with a good morning. Gwen had to do a double-take as she saw Xolvion was shirtless, causing her to turn a little red. Owen noticed this and couldn't help laughing at her for getting all embarrassed.Soon Crystal was awake too and the four of them sat outside in the sunshine as they packed away their camp and had breakfast. While eating Xolvion pulled out a map that was marked with where the goblins had been sighted last, giving him a good idea of where their hideout might be."We are getting close now," Xolvion said, estimating that they were only half a day's walk away from their destination.The others nodded as the realization that they were ge

"I will show you my power, master." Crystal said, holding her staff to the side as she readied herself and prepared to fight.Xolvion watched as he crossed his arms, excited to see what she could do against the goblins that charged toward her."Crystal, look out!" Gwen said, not sure she would be able to fight them by herself."I won't let you get close to master!" She said, letting her magical power burst to life as it glowed around her body."Take this!" She shouted, creating a sudden burst of ice that rippled across the ground, creating razor-sharp icicles to shoot up and rip through the Goblins that had been charging towards them, leaving them impaled on the ice.Gwen and Owen, we're shocked at her power, never having seen ice magic like this before.Xolvion on the other hand had expected nothing less, knowing that if she couldn't deal with a group of simple Goblins, then she had no place being here with him."I did it, master look!" She said, suddenly walking over to Xolvion."Go

"Surely not..." Xolvion said to himself, taking a closer look at the body on the ground, using his magic sense ability to scan it.Crystal looked at him, seeing that he was focusing on one of the dead girls, and couldn't help but wonder what he was doing."Is everything alright, master?" She asked, seeming to get his attention."Y-Yeah. Sorry, Crystal. Please start leading the girls out of the cave, there is just one last thing I need to do." Xolvion said, getting a nod from her.With that Crystal started to lead all of the surviving girls slowly towards the exit of the cave, leaving only Xolvion alone in the main hall."I must be going mad," Xolvion said to himself as he walked over to the body of the girl, who was lying on the ground.This time Xolvion placed his hand on her stomach, where he could feel the life force coming from."No... It's defiantly there. But it is growing weaker." He said, knowing it was because the mother was dead and the baby was starting to die too."Still,

Xolvion had decided to take the house, costing him a whopping 5000 gold coins. Not that it mattered to him anyway with his transmutation ability, Xolvion could simply turn anything he wanted into cash. Something he did try to avoid so as to avoid detection, seeing that the skill was illegal and extremely rare to start with.Needless to say, the estate agent took the money eagerly, without asking any questions thanks to his charm magic, saving Xolvion the trouble of having to fill out any paperwork.Soon enough the keys were in his hand and the deal had been accepted with the estate agent granting him the required paperwork giving him ownership of the house and land."I can't believe it, this is really our house?" Crystal asked as she and the others walked into the main hall, taking a look around."It's a little small, but it will do for now," Zoranna said as she crossed her arms over her chest, causing her cleavage to pop out.Luna on the other hand had never seen anything like it and
