Delicious!

Fantasy food, in a fantasy world, with fantasy skilled chefs is!

D-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!

After the unfortunate issues were resolved, Emily moved with unstoppable momentum.

All those who refused to bend the knee were sent off to various Dungeons in the Empire.

“If they can return with a Core, then they are worth sparing. If not, I save the cost of an executioner’s axe.”

Truly words of wisdom, indeed!

As for the Imperial Family, well, they seemed to have a number of tragic accidents befall them.

Even though Emily was in full view of me the entire time…

I suppose the Imperial Guards wanted to make a solid show of loyalty.

People that can see the change in the winds an act on them without remorse are truly valuable indeed.

I doubt it hurt her chances that she is an albino bombshell, now.

Dryad and Emily were in talks while I’ve been continuing to eat my solid wooden heart out.

I have gotten a few creepy shivers down my trunk from the giggling that occasionally can be heard from them both.

However, I am feeling quite proud.

I didn’t kill anyone! I resolved this entire issue, and got my delicious food without a single fatality.

…That was my fault!

Yes, that’s a step up towards a brighter future.

Several hours of feasting later, I finally finish up.

It will take me time to memorize all these incredible flavors so I can reproduce them with Chaos magic later. With that in mind, I’m going to take a short doze. Unlike a nap, a doze is where I am semi-conscious, it’s not true sleep though. As a result of maintaining a half-awake level of awareness I cannot rest one hundred percent.

On the other hand, I just had a century long sleep. I’m not really in need of anymore for quite some time. Especially now that there aren’t children around, or Adventurers, things are nice and quiet.

Russstle.

Boring? I mean, well, a little yes.

Rustle.

Really? I mean that sounds like a good idea…

Rustle!

Yes, that Dungeon was rather fun except for the near death parts…

That’s it!

Let’s build our own Dungeon!

We’ll make it so awesome it rivals that garbage World Tree!

I bet I can make it so fantastic we get our own place in the Guiny Book of Dungeoning!

Rustle.

Really?

That, that’s unbelievable!

Dungeons can connect across through the Labyrinth into other universes?

Do you think we have a chance of getting back to our old world?

Russsssstle.

Well, a 1% chance is better than 0 I suppose…

It’s worth a shot though.

I can try to get back, and have fun at the same time.

Ruuuuustle.

Oh? I guess that works.

Yes, let’s make it like that.

The first Dungeon that charges an entry fee to delve it, what a novel idea!
