Master of Myths

It was not long after Ellis received treatment that news of the Capri returning came to YuJu, and thus he, along with the still somewhat injured redhead, went ahead to receive them in the human territory

When they arrived the guild leaders were curiously looking at this new ally of theirs, wondering if communication was even a viable option since most of them seemed like unintelligent beasts

Once YuJu, disguised as Pride, came however they shifted the attention to him, hoping he would explain the big horned frogs' roles 

"You, you, you and you, follow my lead"

He pointed to the Waxi guild leader, Gabe leading Twisted Sky, the man heading Death Row, and finally Sid

The four in question hesitated briefly before following behind him, coming face to face with the Capri

YuJu bit his finger out of nowhere, extending a hand forward to the Capri nearest to him

The creature's eyes wandered to the back, as if asking for confirmation from something out of vision, and the next second it extended its tongue, allowing a drip of YuJu's blood to fall on it before swallowing

"Rib! Ribi! Bibibi!!"

It seemed to choke up innards writhing, stomach bloating up heavily as its skin began to lose the slimy texture, then solidify into a greyish color matching that of stone, before the entire body petrified it managed to open its mouth, allowing a little ball of fur to roll out

"Your turn"

He said to the guild leaders as well as Ellis

"What exactly are we doing?"

Asked Gabe, yet his fellow human comrades did not dally, copying YuJu's actions instantly

"..Ah what the hell"

Shrugging his shoulders since no action this Pride fellow ever did harmed them he also bit his finger and allowed the slimy tongue to take a drop, watching its statue form spit out a new creature

The Waxi leader, Gabe, Sid, Death Row leader, and Ellis each respectively got a Terra Fin, Sky Dragon, Mini Mimic, Fanged Misery, and Holy Tiger

The first looked to be a shark which quickly drilled into the ground, leaving only its fin visible, hence the name

The Sky Dragon and Holy Tiger seemed to be small beasts that fit their description, only the Mini Mimic and Fanged Misery looked out of place as the former was a moving blob of mixed colors while the latter seemed to be an unrecognizable shadow with two crystal fangs poking out

"These Capri are one of the few races that humans can bond to be their mount, unique in their aspect to change to the riders most suitable mount, they are however limited in number and as such only those who prove their worth shall gain one"

<br/>Explained YuJu, which a certain someone was quick to question

"And who allowed you to choose the worthy ones? Are we not all guild leaders fit to own one?"

Asked Luther, voicing out what the other guild leaders thought but dared not say

"Because I am the one who invited them into our Alliance, if you have anything against that feel free to take it up with me later on"

A threatening answer accompanied by a menacing glare put the masked werewolf in his place

"Soon enough the Slumbering Demons will arrive, the vampire leader will act as their translator until they can learn our tongue, from then on you will be studying runes under their tutelage"

Most did not know what runes were but those who did had stars for eyes, finally they would get their hands on this world's advanced technology, or at least its equivalent

Done with his job he picked up the Terror Wing pecking at his feet and parted with Ellis who was to return to the house to continue treating her injury

'Let's see what that puppeteer is up to'

Soundlasslydisapearing into thin air he made haste toward the last known abode of the woman and trader, a location the woman kept updating under the enticement of the continuous supply of magical blood

Upon arrival he noted the woman prancing about in her youthful form, fixing up a puppet that was leagues above the last few he'd seen, at least in its humane appearance

"Striving for perfection are we?"

His sudden voice made her flinch, almost breaking the small part she had been inserting

"Oh, mister…?"

"YuJu"

"YuJu is it, I believe I never gave you my name either"

The woman seemed very relaces, a contrast to the storm of questions brewing in his head, but he tried to remain patient

"So, what is it"

"Hmm, come closer and let me share it with you"

He stepped forward but she wiggled her finger in a drawing manner, so he leaned forward, as did she

"El~ai~za~"

She whispered ever so gently into his ear, moving back to take a look at what she supposed would be a blushing face

Yet what met her was the same old smile, one not seeming to be amused but withholding some sort of danger

"U-umm, what did mister come here for?"

A little flustered that her flirting had no effect she switched the topic

"I was wondering what information you have for me about that friend of yours"

"Oh, well, it is not much, we only ever come together to trick people out of their treasure or when he is in need of some love, if you know what I mean"

Out of habit, she switched back to flirting mode, but YuJu's smile disappearing brought her mind back on track

"It is not like I have not been trying, really I have, at every given opportunity, but he keeps dodging my questions every time, and I do not want to expose myself, or else I might fail your mission"

She tried to explain

"So, you have nothing to give me after all this time?"

Calm as he sounded Elaiza felt an unknown sense of danger grip her heart

'Crap, I am trying not to give everything at once so I can keep being useful but  have to give him something or he just might dispose of me on the spot'

"W-well, I managed to get the date of his meet with that entity"

"They are…meeting?"

"Yes! Though I do not know where exactly I know they will be meeting face to face in three months and twelve days from now"

'This should keep me alive until then'

Elaiza felt she outsmarted the handsome yet dangerous man, especially since the sudden feeling of danger vanished just as quickly as it appeared

"...I see….Okay, find out where, keep us updated on your location as well"

"Will do, but for now"

Out of nowhere, she slipped off her one-piece robe, revealing the bare body underneath

"Would you like to have some fun with this body you have kept oh so ever youthful~"

Too late however as YuJu was gone already

"...Such a difficult man"

Mumbling she put the robe back on and went about her business
