Chapter 243: Reuniting With Sari (1) As much as I wanted to explore the city and see all it had to offer, the first order of business - past sneaking Rhefia in and getting her a better 'disguise' - was to find the Catkin Captain who had responsibly sown her seed inside me and impregnated me. With a timer slowly ticking down the day and a half that remained before I birthed her child, I wanted to find my sadistic lover as quick as possible, so that she could be by my side to welcome our kit into the world. That special moment that held so much meaning to me was one I wanted to share with Sari, despite not really knowing the woman all that much; I just... needed her to be there as I delivered her baby, so that we could both see her at the same time. With that in mind, Rhefia and I set off into the city, having the others remain at Colodi Park to set everything up for tonight. I left them behind some money as well, telling them that if they wanted to explore the edge of the Park and visit the shops they could, but someone needed to remain with the carts - preferably Aethisia, Yiksa, or Prixisia, as they were all fighters. In that order too since I wasn't too sure on Prixisia's skill level - she was a poisoner, after all. So that was why Rhefia was guiding me by the hand as we walked through the busy, wide streets of Birchan, stopping a few times at some of the market stalls and picking up a new veil for her, as well as a cloak that would cover her wiry, yet muscular frame. She tied the veil around the base of her antlers and allowed the cloth to flow down, covering her face in its entirety before tying the bottom to the neck of the cloak, guaranteeing the veil wouldn't billow away and reveal her features to anyone should a gust of wind happen to blow past us. "I don't know how the hells you manage to live with this thing constantly on, Astra. This is... weird." I chuckled softly as I looked up at her head, knowing full well that Rhefia was scrunching her nose and trying to not reach up to itch it as we resumed walking, while she tilted her head at slight angles to try and see out from the cloth better. "You get used to it... Besides, once we either clear your name or leave, you never need to wear it again~! You're a beautiful woman for sure, but..." "Not as enrapturing as you? Yeah, I understand that. Though, you still draw so~ much attention even with that thing on... Maybe it's these~?" Directly in front of us was a gigantic statue of two women - one black, one silver - and many of the warriors bowed or knelt in its direction. Even Rhefia bowed her head deeply, muttering a prayer out before returning to her normal height. "Areseta and Serenata - Goddess of War and Honor standing beside her wife, the Goddess of Peace. A reminder that we wage war for the hope of a longer peace; that we inflict violence so that we might have more peace. Two sides of the same coin, and that coin is something that is required to even think about joining the Warrior's Guild." I stared at the two statues for a few moments more, wonder filling my mind as I saw their impressive visages and beautiful craftsmanship, a brief thought floating through my mind. Do they actually look like that? I let it drift away, not wanting to annoy a Goddess inside a place dedicated to them, so instead I looked around, searching for the familiar black furred Catkin that I had been dominated by. Rhefia was looking around too, before she just sighed and approached one of the many warriors, tapping the woman's shoulder. The muscular Bearkin glanced at Rhefia, her brown eyes narrowed as she rasped "Can I help you?" "Aye. Do you know where I might find Sari? A Catkin Captain? She told me to meet her here..." The Bearkin frowned, before nodding as she gestured towards the giant statues. "Outback, sparring. Careful though; those grounds aren't meant for the weak." Rhefia nodded, before placing a silver in the woman's palm, making the Bearkin snort as she turned away, returning to cleaning her axe. "Well, come on. Let's find her."
