Chapter 8: Working With An Assassin And Pirate

***Morgan pov.***

Urgh… My head hurts… What happened? I thought as I slowly opened my eyes. “Ack! why is everything so Bright!?” I hiss as I quickly shut my eyes from the pain.

“Well look who’s awake.” Said a voice I knew, it sounded like Talion.

“Talion… Is that you?” I asked before freezing. Was that my voice just now? Lets check… “Um, what’s going on?” Yup, thats my voice, don't know why it's sounds different... let's see if I can gets some answers.

“Well for starters we’re in Sarah house where she works hard to heal others. But what I want is for you to answer some questions for me.” Talion said as I got a good look at him. The look on his face was strangely serious… I have never seen him like this before, and it kinda scares me...

“Y-yes?” I asked timidly. looks like I’ll have to wait for a while before I find out what's going on...

“Tell me who do you work for and how do you know Thor.” He asked staring at me with those glowing eyes.

“Thor? Who’s thor?” I ask. What's he going on about now… I never did quite understand him.

“Don’t lie to me I heard you say ‘Darn servants of Thor’ before you passed out.” Talion said as he get up and walks closer to the bed to look down at me. “I just want the truth, I’m not going to hurt you.”

“I don’t understand, who is this Thor you're going on about?” I ack before wincing and putting one of my hooves to my head… Why does my head hurt? and why do I feel like… oh dear...

“Morgan you alright?” Talion asked before I unload what was left of the pink goop that was in my system all over him. “Oh god damnit! Warn me when you're going to do that!” He yelled as he tried to clean himself off as well as hand me a bucket.

“I think that was the last of… whatever that was…” I tell him before dropping the bucket… Since when were my legs so long?

“I hope so you’ve been puking that stuff up all day.” Talion said as he get the last of the goo off.

“I blame you and Dust for over producing whatever emotion that stuff is made of!” I snapped. Wait… why did I just snap at him? And how did I know what that goop was made of?

“Well we didn’t know you was there and I was drunk. By the way when did you start talking like an adult?” He asked looking me over.

“Urgh… I dont know whats going on… And my head hurts!” I whimper.

“Well you kind of had a growth spurt when Dust found you.” Talion said as Hel came in. She had what looked like a basket full of food.

“Is Morgan alright? I came to see how she was doing. Oh my she has gotten taller.” Said Hel as she set on the bed next to me to look at my face.

“Do you have anything for a headache? or anything edible?” I ask, wanting to not think about anything for the moment.

“Water.” Said Talion from out of nowhere. “Or food depends on what one makes it worse.”

“Thank you Ragnarok.” Said Hel as she picks something up and held it out to me. “It good for you try it.”

“What is it?” I ask as I try to use my magic to grab it but fail… Why can't I use my magic?

“Here I’ll feed her Hel, unless you want to stick around and chat with Morgan for a bit?” Asked Talion as he stretched his legs.

“I wouldn’t mind think you.” Said Hel as Talion get up to leave. Hel went back to trying to feed me as Talion left the room.

“So… What do you want to talk about?” I asked as I nibbled at the strange fruit she was holding. It was oddly tasty… But it didn’t taste as good as Eron’s stew.

“Well I was wondering what made you grow so qwickly really. Not only that but do you know what happened with Dust and Ragnarok? All I heard is that he ran out of her house with her throwing weapons at him.” Said Hel as she picked up another fruit and took a bite.

“I... Uh... Um…” I stammered while blushing madly. Oh why did she have to ask that!? It makes me sick just remembering! And the sounds Dust made didn’t make it any better! Just think of something quick! “T-they… I… Ask them!” I said quickly before somehow bringing the covers over myself.

“Well I did, Talion can’t remember what happened and Dust said he made a mass of her house.” Said Hel as she handed over another piece of fruit.

“Dust told me not to tell anyone!” I shouted before covering my mouth with a hoof. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to yell… What’s going on with me!?” Ok, I'm seriously starting to panic here!

“Okay… Well I’m not sure it could be how changeling grow up I don’t know. I mean when I meet you before you was really small. Now you're as tall as me.” Said Hel as she looks around the room.

“It sucks being the only one of my kind on this island…” I mutter to myself.

“Well I need to go and help Sarah with some of her medecin making, be good and rest here. Do you need anything?” Hel asked as she about to leave.

“Maybe a gallon of brain bleach… But I can’t think of anything besides that…” I say before passing out again.

“I don’t know what bleach is but I’ll try and find out.” said Hel as she walks out. Once she left Talion and sat on a set looking at me with his arms crossed.

***Talion Ragnarok pov.***

I was thinking, about what she said and the way she was acting. After I asked Hel if Morgan said anything strange, she told me that Morgan wanted brain bleach. I didn’t know much about the mlp show but something tell me Morgan was like me. Only one way to find out.

“So, want to talk about stuff?” I asked as Morgan looked at me.

“What? and don’t start asking me about that Thor person again!” Morgan snapped before shrinking in on herself with a terrified expression.

“Mogan is everything alright?” I asked, something was wrong I just didn’t know what. “I wasn’t going to ask about him.”

“I-I didn’t know what’s going on!” She cried before she curled up even further.

“Morgan, come here.” I say to her before pulling the silver changeling into a hug. “It going to be alright okay.”

“You promise?” Morgan asked.

“I promise, cross my heart hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye.” I tell her wit ha smile.

“Hehe. ok, since you pinkie promised.” Morgan said with a smile.

“I’m not going to ask how you know that because I think I know.” I said smiling at her and petting her head.

“Know what?” Morgan said while scrunching her face.

“I think your just like me only not the same.” I said to her as I hug her trying to make her feel safe.

“Y-you're a l-little too close…” Morgan stammered with a slight blush.

“Oh sorry.” I said giving her some space. “Is this better?”

“Yes… And what do you mean by that riddle?” Morgan said as she stared at me with an odd expression.

“About us being the same? Remember when I told you about me being human?” I asked. As I try and work out what she was thinking.

“Yes?” Morgan replied.

“Well Humans are a hairless ape that used tools for everyday life. But I died and someone came to me with a choice. I die as a human or I get to keep on living as something else. Guess you can tell what I picked.” I tell her rubbing the back of my head, I find I do that a lot.

“So… what? you reincarnated as a rat?” Morgan asked.

“kind of, I wasn’t born with this body. I don’t even know if it really mine, all I do know is I’m here now and I’m just trying to live.” I explain as best I can but it was giving me a headache.

“Interesting… You mind going into detail on this once Dust and the others come out from behind the door?” Morgan asked while shifting into a more comfortable position.

“What?” I asked then turned around to find Dust with a guilty look on her face as Hel stands there. Oh crap, I didn’t want Hel to find out about this till later. On well mite as well tell them now.

“And that everything.” I tell them as Hel look at me, I think?

“I didn’t think you was this crazy, well at least your the non violent kind of crazy.” Said Hel as she looks to the others.

“Hey it true I saw discord himself and he told us what was going on!” Said Dust as she eats some kind of cake.

“It is still a big shock.” Said Eron as he sit on a bed. “When we first heard this we didn’t think it was really happening. Until we talked about it with each other.”

“I feel more confused than a person that's just been pelted with Nyan cats…” Morgan muttered as she rubbed the base of her horn.

“What a nyan cat?” Asked Bruiser as he rubs his head.

“Whats a cat?” Morgan asked, snapping out of whatever trance she was in.

“See, like I said she keep making quotes of things from the human world without realizing it. Either she just like me and can’t remember seeing as she was born here, or there some part of her that still remembers but can surface seeing as Morgan here.” I say as I eat an apple.

“I’ll be right back…” Morgan said as she started to climb off the bed and walk towards the door.

“Morgan stay in bed you need the rest and this is a big shock for you.” I tell her as I follow.

“Well, I can’t really do my business on the bed now can I?” Morgan said with a raised eyebrow.

“Oh.. Sorry.” I say as I back off and let her go. She then walked out the door to the bedroom and down the hall.

“What do you do if she make a run for it?” Asked Bruiser and I sighed.

“We follow I guess there a lot I still don’t know about the island that can still kill us right?” I said as the others nod at me.

“What the heck!?” Morgan yelled from down the hall.

“What wrong?!” I yell as I run over to see what wrong then stop at an open door. I then blush at the anthro changeling that was laying on her back in the bathroom. She now looked like a teenager, but the thing I could not pull my eyes away from was how big her breasts were.

“Ack! Get out!” Morgan screamed while blushing before throwing everything short of the sink and toilet out of the bathroom at me.

“Sorry!” I yelled teh closed the door blinking at the wall, I turn back to the others as they just laughed. I think Hel was covering her mouth by the way her hand was under her hood. I just sighed and rub my face.

“I need a drink.” I said to myself and leave.

“So on the way to the next tower we’re going to a city called pirate bay?” I asked as we all sat around eating diner. Hel was sitting next to me and eating quietly. I then looked at Morgan who was still giving me the I’m not here look.

“Oh come on I said I was sorry!” I said as I put my head on the table. “What do you want from me?”

“Get beaten to a pulp.” Morgan replied as she snuggled up to Dust while in her anthro form and wearing a robe similar to Hel’s.

“Dust dues that to me at training all the time!” I tell her then noticed the look from Dust that screamed help me.

“Then get eaten by a snow wraith.” Morgan grumbled as she started to scratch behind Dusts ears while eating an apple. Dust looked like she was enjoying it and was fighting not to, the blush on her face was a dead give away.

I said nothing as I start to eat again, I then noticed the gryphoness who made everyone food didn’t like what was going on with Morgan and Dust. I think her name was Misty, I don’t know why but that made me think of pokemon.

Once everything was planed out the others leave leaving me alone with Morgan who was doing something to Dusts horn. Me and Hel were keeping an eye on them I was a little surprised how empty the place got so qwickly.

“Oh sorry let me get that.” Said Misty as she went under the table. Odd, I didn’t hear her drop anything? I pay her no mind as I look at Hel who was now staring at Dust and Morgan. I could see why...

“S-stop it Morgan~” Dust wines as she fidgets in the changelings arms.

“But you're so cute and snugly!” Morgan whined. I really hope Morgan understands what she doing right now. That when I felt something on my leg, I looked at Hel who was still watching them.

I then felt something unbuckle my belt and looked down, it was the gryphoness Misty. I was kind of panicking at this, what going on and why she doing that!? Next thing I know I heard a moan from Dust. I blushed as I felt Misty get a hold of something with her talons I really wish she didn’t.

“What’s that smell?” Morgan asked as she scrunched up her nose and stopped petting Dust.

Dust was gasping a little once Morgan stopped and looked at her. “W-Why did you stop?” She asked Looking at the changeling with a needy look in her eyes.

“I smelled that disgusting emotion from… You know…” Morgan said while turning a shade of green. Huh, didn't know she could do that...

“But you got me all worked up, you can’t leave me like this.” Dust wined at Morgan and WOW! I gasped at the feeling of Misty who I think is licking my… Sword, Oh crap I hope she stop soon.

“Why are you making that smell?” Morgan asked me and dust with a slightly disgusted look.

“You made me horrny Morgan now finsh what you started!” Dust growled before pulling the changeling into a kiss. Morgan then squeaked and teleported away a few feet and hid behind a table.

“Bad touch!” Morgan squeaked as she changed into her pony form.

“Oh come on.” She whined, I then gasped as Misty let me go and came out from the table by Dust.

“I’ll help you sexy~” She purred up at Dust who smiled back down at the griffoness.

“Ain't nobody got time for dat!” Morgan shouted before bolting out the door. I took Morgan’s queue before making sure I had my trousers up and belat on. I then took Hel hand and lead her out as she was watching them. I didn’t want to know what those two were up to, I could not help but blush at how Hel was staring after them once we leave.

Our journey to pirate bay was... how do I put this, A pain in the ass. I had Hel stay in Waterpond just to keep her safe. Morgan on the other hand didn’t want to stay and that made Hel want to come to.

“So let me understand this right, This is a city full of pirates.” I asked Eron who walked next to me. We was still three days away from the city and I still didn’t like this idea.

“If anyone has a ship it them, besides we’ll need there help.” Said Eron as he looked to the others. Buggey was getting on well with the others as long as his not grabby with anyone. I draw my sword on him once for trying to feel up Hel.

“Besides we can get more weapons here.” Said Bruiser as he grins at me.

“As long as they stray away from Hel and Morgan I’m fine with them.” Was my reply as we walked.

“So what kind of weapons can we get?” I asked Buggey as I saw him pick his nose. That real classy.

“Oh you name it, pistols, rifles, swords, knifes, blades, poisons, traps they have it all. Even cannons.” Said Buggey with a smile. Why that not put me at ease, I think as we keep walking.

“Can I get a weapon?” Morgan asked as she trotted up to me in her pony form.

“No.” Everyone said at once. I laughed at that as we walked.

“Then can I learn to use magic other than teleportation and levitation?” Morgan decided to ask with a slight pout.

“Well I would but those are the only one spells I know.” Said Dust as they walking.

“And I have enough trouble dealing with Talion learning magic.” Said Maggabl.

“I feel like some sort of useless bug princess…” Morgan mumbled as she added a scrunchy nose to her poutyface.

“Fine we’ll think of something ok just stop pouting.” I told her as I rub my head. I do not want to deal with this.

“Ok…” Morgan said before backing up to walk beside Dust.

“Come on everypony let set up camp here for to night and get some rest.” Said Dust as she looked around. We was in a large field with one or two trees there was also some large rocks to.

“Fine let's get some rest and eat.” I say as we all set up camp. Once everything is ready and foods cooked up we all take turns keeping watch. Sadly for me I got last watch I yawned as I try and stay awake.

“This sucks.” I said as I poke at the fire. I then looked up when I heard something, I didn’t see anything but something felt wrong. I walked over to Buggey and wake him up.

“W-What is it?” Buggey grumbled as he looked at me.

“I heard something, I need you to keep an eye on everyone while I’m gone.” I said as I walk off. Something was bugging me and I didn’t like it, once I went up a rock to get a good look around. That when I saw something or someone.

“Hey who out there?” I called out as I watch them. Next thing I know a kniff fly past my head!? “What the hell!? You could of killed me you dick!” I yelled out at the empty field.

“Mph! Mph!” Came a muffled cry from behind me. I turned around and saw Morgan and the others were tied up.

“What the hell! I told Buggey to keep an eye on you guys!” I yelled then duck as more knives come flying at me. I took cover behind the rock and looked to the others. It looked like they was all fine just tied up. I then noticed Buggey use his tail to pull out a small blade and was trying to cut the ropes.

“Who are these guys?” I said to myself, I then think. If I want to draw this guy out I need to make him follow me. So I ran and I was rewarded by having more knives thrown at me. “Storage looks like I’m their target but why?”

I stop when someone stands in my way, going by the size and body type. There a mouse like Hel only this one was wearing white. Not only that but something didn’t feel right. “So who are you?” I asked hoping to get some answers.

“I am here to protect one of the royal family, that means I have to kill you.” Said the mouse in the odd ninja outfit.

“Wait… Your a girl!?” I yelled out and point at the crazy ninja mouse.

“What do you mean! Of cores I’m a girl, what did you think I was!” She yelled back pulling out more knives. Where is she hiding all this stuff?

“I couldn’t tell with all those bed sheets on.” I said, I’m just trying to piss her off to make her lose focus now. I can tell she more dangerous than me, for one thing I bet she know how to kill.

“How dare you! I’ll kill you for that.” She yelled as she throws the knives at me again. I don’t know why but I think it has to do with all the training I did with Dust, I’m able to think and move at the same time. Looks like all that work was good for something.

I duck just into as a throwing knife fly past my head. I then hide behind a tree as more blades hit it. “Tell me why are you trying to kill me so badly?” I asked hoping to get some kind of answer.

“We were ordered by one of the king corte to take Lady Hel back, and take that strange bug-pony back as well. We do not question orders, only follow them.” She said proudly.

“How sad of you not to question the world around you.” I say as I walk out behind the tree. I draw out my arm-blades and stare her down. “Know this, Hel and I did not have a choice in this but that doesn't mean I won’t keep her safe. Even if it from misguided fools like you! Fulgur!” I yelled as lightning run down my arms and into the ground.

I think that shocked her, good time to put on a show. “If you want to try and kill me go on I won’t stop you but know this, I won’t give up or give into anyones stupid orders!”

I ran at her as I saw her pull out a short sword of some kind. I was surprised she try to block it I still had a hard time controlling this magic to. I then saw she pulled something else out then drops it on the floor. I jumped back as a flash of light exploded between us.

Damnit! That hurt like hell, I couldn’t see I rise my guard up just in time as I saw blade of her sword closing in on my head! As I was holding her off I hear a gunshot go off that not good. “Sorry I don’t have time to deal with you.” I say as I grab the ninja mouse arm.

“Fulgur.” I said again and shocked her with my magic, the screams she let out was painful to my ears. I then let go as she drops to the floor, I pant as I look down at the passed out mouse. “Sorry… I don’t play fair, I play to stay alive.” I tell her as I head back to camp.

What I saw when I got there I wasn’t sure if I should be shocked or laugh. I saw Morgan was biting one of the mouse ninjas on the head. Dust was punching one with her hooves, Eron just held one up by it tail… “What the fuck wrong with everyone on this island?” I asked.

As I saw Bustier was still asleep and Buggey was trying to shot one that was running all over the place. I then saw one try to take Hel. “Not happening dumb ass!” I yell jump on the guy before head butting him, god did that hurt! But I think I knocked the guy out.

“The mission is a failure, we must leave!” Said one as they all drop smoke bombs, I rush over to Hel to untie her.

“You alright?” I asked she turned to me and nods. I turn to the others and see there alright wait. Where Morgan?

“Let me go!” Morgan yelled.

“God damnit!” I yell as I go off to try and find her, but I see nothing. “Damnit! You hurt my friend I’ll hunt down every last one of you!” I yell after them. I growled then found the one I shocked before, well looks like we may get some info after all.

***Morgan pov.***

“It bit me on the head! I’m bleeding!” Yelled one of the Mouse in white as he being treated by the others.

“That's what you get for grabbing my butt!” I yelled from my rope confines. If I wasn't tied up I would turn into a snow wraith and tear them apart! I don't know why I feel so violent but it must have to do with my growth spurt a short while back.

“Not only that we lost one of our best members, What do we do? We can’t show up without the King's daughter. And why would the King corte want this thing anyway?” Said one of the Mouse ninja’s.

“Who cares I just want to get back to doing real work not stick around out here in the open.” Said another Mouse ninja who sounding like a girl.

“Hey are you a girl?” I shout at the mouse that just spoke.

“Shut up you should be grateful we didn’t get orders to kill you.” Said the one who was bitten.

“Realy? because it it would be a shame to kill the last of my kind if you did.” I quipped. Huh, messing with people is actually kinda fun, wonder why I didn’t realize this earlier?

“Wait, your the last of your kind?” Asked one looking at me.

“Well duh? Do you see any other bug like ponies that can shapeshift wandering around?” I said with a smirk.

“I don’t believe her.” Said another who was eating something.

“If I wasn’t tied up I would turn into a snow wraith and eat you first.” I deadpanned at the mouse that was eating.

“Sure if you had that kind of power you’d have changed from the start.” Said the female mouse who drinks something.

“You testing me? and I thought your brains would make up for your lack of cuteness!” I said while laughing, The smell of their irritation was tickling me to the point that I couldn't control myself!

“What did you say!” She screamed before the others held her back from trying to stab me.

“Hek, I find Hel to be plenty more adorable than you! and I'm not even into mice!” I say as my smirk turns into a devilish grin.

“You dare to look at lady Hel face! I should kill you for that alone!” She the Ninja as she getting angry.

“Stop it let just rest for the night and we’ll deal with her in the morning.” Said a male mouse as they all get ready to sleep.

“I have night vision!” I called out.

“Good you can warn us when something try to eat you.” Said the one who was bitten.

“Or I could escape in your sleep~” I sang as I saw her freeze.

“Not if you want to live, look at the your legs.” Said another pointing somewhere around my legs. “One wrong move and those wires will cut deeper and deeper into your flesh. Now shut and go to sleep.” Complains one as they lay down.

“Why do you think I’m not shapeshifting?” I deadpanned before smirking at her near explosive levels of rage. This is way too fun!

“I say we remove her tongue in the morning.”

“Agreed.” The other said all at once.

“Do that and I will hiss at you for the rest of the trip, as well as find some way to give you a very painful death.” I said in a tone that sent chills down even my spine. ok, where did that come from? I seriously need to find out what was going on with me… I hope these weird outbursts stop soon...

Maybe I’ll feel better once I’ve had some sleep. I don’t know how long it has been but it was still night time. I was able to get a good bit of sleep but it didn't last.

“Pisst wakey wakey.” Said a voice next to me.

“What do you want?” I grumbled as I stirred awake.

“Is that anyway to greet a friend.” Said Talion smiling at me.

“Wha… when? how?” I stammered. Seriously, I will never understand him...

“Later, the others have been knocked out and we’re taking there gear. And we’re here to save you to.” He said as he start to set me free. “Hey how do I get this wire off of her?” He asked a Mouse ninja who looked like someone sent her on fire a little.

“It the knot that tied behind the tree.” She grumbled.

“Thank you Lily!” Talion said in a sing song tone as he get to work freeing me.

“Lily? seriously?” I asked with a slight chuckle.

“...” The Mouse called Lily didn’t say anything as she looked away.

“No need to be embarrassed. Makes you seem friendlier than the ugly girl that wanted to cut out my tongue.” I laughed.

“I am only doing this to keep Lady Hel safe, if I didn’t help her life would be a risk.” Said Lily glaring at Talion.

“You sure that's the only reason? she is pretty cute for a mouse after all~” I laughed.

“S-Shut up! I wasn’t going to kill her anyway.” Said Talion as he blushed. “Besides I’m not cold blooded.”

“I wasn’t talking to you Talion, but your reaction is entertaining enough!” I laughed. That made both Talion and Lily blush a deep red. Like I said before, this is way too fun! Once I was freed and everyone took all the gear we could carry we went back to camp. Once we got back to camp I saw Hel was alright and Eron was back on his hooves. It was nice to see the big guy back up and cooking.

“Now that we’re back somewhere relatively safe… I’m going to go back to sleep.” I said while transforming into my bipedal form. I then grabbed Dust before using her as a pillow and falling asleep.

***Talion Ragnarok pov.***

“So this is pirate bay… Looks about right.” I said as we entered the city. Everything looked like it was made from old ships or at least parts of them.

“Why are we letting the assassin walk with us freely?” Asked Buggey glaring at her as Lily glared back walking next to Hel.

“And why did you give her back her weapons.” Growled Maggabl.

“Because she needs a bodyguard. And seeing as Lily is honor bound or whatever, she not just going to run off and leave Hel behind in a place like this right?” I said smiling at them. Lily huffed and looked away.

“Thank you Ragnarok for not taking my friends life.” Said Hel as she bow to me again. I sighed and kept walking.

“Stop with the honer stuff already I’m not noble I just do what I think is right.” I tell her as I rub my head, Huh that's odd I feel two small bumps on my head. I’ll have Mag take a look at it later.

“You guys know the drill, stay together, don’t talk to someone trying to sell you something, And Lastly don’t eat anything that looks like it was dropped on the floor.” I tell them as we walk around.

“Says the one who can’t smell deception.” Morgan quipped while giving me a smirk.

“Don’t make me cuddle you Morgan.” I tell her with a smile. “I know how much you hate that.”

“Only Dust can cuddle with me!” Morgan said before teleporting onto the other side of Dust to use her as a deterrent.

“Stop dragging me into this!” Dust complaints as she pushed the changeling away. “This place is dangerous so stop missing around.”

“No, I’m having fun.” Morgan said.

“You want some fun do ya now?” Said a deep voice of a scruffy Diamond dog smiling at Morgan. “I can show ya a good time.” He grinned as he walked over to the changeling. But stop once Eron got in the way, The Diamond dog took one look at him then ran off.

“I could have told him off!” Morgan whined at Eron.

“Like Dust said this place is dangerous, Look around.” Said Eron. I did everyone in this city was looking at us like we was ever meat or just another group of wonders passing through.

“But I’m a kid!” Morgan pouted.

“There all pirates, why do you think this place is called pirates bay. And some sick bastards are into that kind of thing.” Said Buggey as he put a hand on his pistol.

“We should keep moving.” I said as we walked deeper into the city. This place was a dump, not the same why that underground city I started in was. More like what you would think a city ran by pirates. There gunfire, drunken Von, Diamond dogs, griffons, Even Ponies of all kinds.

“I don’t like it here anymore…” Morgan gaged.

“You’re not going to like where we have to go next.” Said Eron. As we’re walking to what looks like a, wait… Why are there ponies wearing dresses? I think as we’re walking to a bar.

“Alright a brothel!” Said Buggey as he ran past us to get inside. I slowly looked at Eron and the others.

“A brothel… We’re going to a brothel why?” I asked as everyone was still walking. Hel and Morgan moved closer to me as they was most likely thinking the same thing as me.

“That where we’ll get a ship.” Said Dust as she walks in first. Oh thor help us, I think as we go inside. Unlike outside this place looked nice. There was even music going off and everything, it was like a party was going on in here.

“Okay, Morgan, Hel stay close to me. If I’m not around stay close to Lily.” I tell them as we followed them inside. It looked like Buggey was ordering drinks with Busier. Dust and Eron was talking to a Diamond dog in a dress… That looks so strange to me.

“I… Urp… don’t feel good…” Morgan said before collapsing as her chitin began to glow a slight pink.

“Okay crap, Help me get her out side.” I said as me, Hel and the ninja mouse help Morgan outside. We moved quickly moved her outside and away from the brothel. As Hel was trying to fan Morgan I noticed something, looked like a ship heading out, strange part was there only one ship.

I stay with the others but called out to a passer by. “Hey, what up with that ship?” I asked a Minotaur, he had a broken horn and looked at the ship then laughed.

“Wait and see.” He said before walking off. I looked back to the ship and watched as soon as it went into deeper waters the front of it caught on fire. I was shocked by this but it seemed everyone else who saw this stop to watch. It looked like the crew were jumping off to get off the ship that was now on fire.

“Guess we need to take down that last tower then.” I said to myself as I go back to look after Morgan. “How she doing?” I asked as I crouch down to the changeling.

“She better.” Said Hel as she keeps fanning the changeling. “But she resting.”

“Why are we here it not safe for the-.” Said Lily but I stop her. I looked around before going up and whispering to the mouse ninja.

“It not safe here, like you said so guard your words.” I tell her as we wait for Morgan to wake up.

“No… Not cake… Anything but cake!” Morgan groaned before she began to wake up, “Wha… what just happened…”

“You passed out.” I said looking her over.

“That still doesn't explain why I feel like a boulder was smashed on my head… or why everything is fuzzy…” Morgan said as the pink glow surrounding her body began to fade a bit.

“We kind of went into a brothel.” I said as we waited for the others.

“So that’s why the air tasted like Dust from when she was drunk…” Morgan groaned as she shifted uncomfortably. That when the rest of the group walked out with what looked like a abino Von talking to them.

“Alright I can get you a ship, a working one but I’m leaving with you when you all leave. Understand and my girls are coming with us. Savey?” She said with a smile as her red eyes looked at everyone.

“She sound funny.” Morgan giggled before she started hiccuping as a group of particularly drunk minotaurs passed by. The Albino Van looked at Morgan and smiled.

“A changeling, haven’t seen one of these cuties since my last girl got married to a nice griffon. Nice bloke but not a good flyer.” She said with a smile.

“I'm cute!” Morgan cheered as she shifted into her anthro form and tried to stand up by using me as a crutch.

“Let me guess, first time being near so much lust, love and drunken gits.” She said with a smile.

“Yay beer!” Morgan giggled before collapsing onto the ground. “wee~ everything is spinning and warpy~” she added before beginning to barf up the pink stuff again. I rolled my eyes at this as I noticed the way Hel was looking at the Von.

“I am so sorry to the misfortune you must of suffered.” Said Hel as she gave what I think is a prayer.

“Ha! cute girly, you have a real sweet heart here. Is she your lover or something?” She asked and I just go wide eyed at this. I also think Hel was blushing if I could see her face.

“Hehe… White rat make white mousy blush~” Morgan slurred from her spot on the ground. Should I cover her up? I think as I saw Hel cover her face with her robe.

“Well then I’ll let you be on your way then, don’t forget we have a deal.” She said and walks back to the brothel.

“Who was she?” I asked as everyone was getting ready to leave. Dust rolled her eyes as she walked past. I picked up Morgan with the help of Hel as we followed after our party.

“My x Viktoria Swagertail, she a pirate.” Said Bruier as he walks past me. Wait, she was his x? Something tell me I don’t want to know. I just sighed as I followed the others, let just get this done.
