This time, she told me the exact shape of the fruit.

I do feel stupid, but to my defence, I didn’t think there could be different type in a single tree. This one is found at the very peak of the tree, and you can recognize it by his golden skin.

Sigh… I got back on the branch were I found the monkey. I’m so tired. I closed my eyes a bit.

When I opened them again, the monkey from before was here. Did he watch me sleep? He was shyly handing me something, what is that?

It looks like half the watermelon. Well, like that it was more of a coconut. Inside it was all liquid. Does he want me to drink it? That’s so nice of him.

I accepted his gift and drank it. It was amazing, the sweetness was overwhelming! And the texture! It was like drinking hot honey.

Without me noticing, the monkey had left again. They are indeed really shy.

The drink energize me, or was it the nap? Anyway, I feel I can go to the summit now.

The fruit was rarer than I thought. It took me 20 minutes to find my first one. As Lilith described, it looked exactly the same as a golden apple, and this time, there is no shell, I can eat it directly.

I took a huge bite of the apple. The taste was… not bad, but after drinking the watermelon blue juice, it was disappointing.

I checked out the Questbook.

Struggle#09

Objective: Consume the Forbidden Fruit

Sub-objective: Ride the Great Eagle – Drink a Blue Star – Not Safe For Disclosure

It didn’t complete the challenge?

I try eating the whole fruit, but it didn’t work either. Maybe the Forbidden Fruit is one of the fruit? Or it could also be that I have to eat more.

No and no. I spent an hour circling around the top of the tree. I found 4 more fruit, and I ate 3 of them. Still nothing. Plus, they were all identical, so I don’t think I have to eat one in particular.

My best chance right now would be to go back to Lilith, maybe she now something I don’t about the fruit.

So once again, I climbed down the mother tree, this time with a golden apple instead of a blue watermelon. So I guess it was a bit easier… but not that much.

Touching the ground, I felt grateful none of the birds went out of his way to high five me. Falling down from there would have been a disaster.

I circled around the Mother Tree to find the entrance of Lilith house. And it was here, pretty luxurious carved door.

I approach and knocked. Almost immediately, she opened the door and invited me in.

Inside, it was a single big circular room. As expected, almost everything from the floor to the ceiling was made of wood. On the left, you could see the kitchen, with what looked like a stone furnace, and besides it was a little campfire. She could probably put the fire under the oven or use it directly.

On the opposite side, there was a king-size bed, like the one you see in a royal bedroom. She has quite fancy taste.

“I see you found the right one this time.”

“Yeah… but something is off with it. And it’s not even that good.”

“Wait. You’ve already eaten one?”

“4. And it was hard at the end bec...”

Without letting me finish, she approached me and put two fingers on my neck. What? Is she checking my pulse?

“How many times since you ate them?”

“Wha-Well… one hour and a half for the first one I guess, maybe 2 hours.”

“That’s… amazing...”

“What? What did I do?”

“The golden apple is one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs you could find, but it can happen that one bite increases the blood flow so much it causes damage. Eating a whole fruit is considered suicidal!”

“WHAT? I’m going to die?!”

“No, you must have a lot of vital energy, because your body doesn’t seem to react badly to it.”

“Vital energy?”

“That’s how I call libido.”

“Oh...”

“Your fine for now, but if we don’t do anything you could be in danger. The effect should kick soon.”

“What do you… why are we going to your bed?”

“You were the one asking for it in the first place right?”

“I...I did?”

She widened her eyes and started to laugh.

“Don’t tell me… you don't know what “consuming the Forbidden Fruit” means?”

“...Should I?”

Did I miss something? She pushed me on the bed, and slowly brought her body closer to mine.

“It’s a metaphor sweety. Let me show you...”z

They’ve been at it for a long time…

I hope I didn’t miss anything when I had to refill the bucket.

He is more skilled than I thought.

Crunch Crunch

What?! How does she do that? Is that possible to be that flexible?

Crunch Crunch Crunch

Oh my god! He… on her… oh-oh-oh! That’s what I’m talking about.

“The kid is impressive.”

“AAAAHHH”

“WOW! Val! Why are you screaming?”

“When the hell did you guys got here?!”

The whole group was here, the 6 of them, with their own bucket of popcorn.

“This is not a show guys!”

“Say the girl eating popcorn.”

“Shut up Jules! Now fuck off!”

“What! But I just got here!”

“Yeah, it might be bad for you Clar to see this.”

“Why? Please! I want to see!”

Gwen, the muscle woman, took Clarence, the anything-but-muscle woman, away from the screen, like a parent dragging his kid away from ice cream.

“I wanna! I wanna! I wanna!”

“You're the Bard of Chastity Clar, it’s bad for you.”

“I wanna! I wanna! I wanna!”

“Same for all of you! It’s not my fault if all the other noobs are always doing the same boring things! Now, excuse me, but I have to… watch over my protégé.”

Crunch Crunch

Really, what a bunch of perverts.
