  The first thing I was confronted with when I woke up was a slew of windows, which I temporarily pushed away and wallowed in the soft embrace around me. “““Morning Darling~””” My wife cooed as she affectionately tightened the embrace, pushing me further into her chest.

  Wait wife? I opened the eyes of my two heads and came face to face with three pairs staring back at me. With bronze colored skin mixed with black fur the three headed woman smiled down at me. The leftmost head had a pair of bear ears and a soft round face, the center had wolf ears and a straight face with a soft jaw, and the right head had ears of a puma and a sharply defined face.

  Four arms were gently wrapped around me, with the forelimbs covered in soft steel-grey fur and tipped with retractable claws while the biceps were bare and muscular. Her two legs were similar with extremely thick bottom limbs reminiscent of a bear crossed with a puma. Fur also covered her back and the outside of her thighs, and a six cen wide soft scaled tail was wrapped around us, reaching a good two meters before ending with a snake head that was affectionately licking my face.

  The whole being exuded affectionate warmth to me. Naturally claiming us as each others. I could even feel the emotions of happiness leaking through the connection between our two consciousness’. Smiling happily I let myself rest on her thick, muscular yet soft body, the unease easily leaking out of me.

  “Umu! Master~!” I blinked and lifted my right head, turning I saw Flysa standing a bit aways while worriedly glancing between me and my mate.

  ““Yes Flysa?”” I asked with slight annoyance. I’m trying to rest here…

  “““You know this person Darling?””” My mate asked curiously.

  ““Mm.”” I answered. Now that I thought of it Flysa must be lonely, we usually slept together every night. ““Flysa, come lay down with us.””

  “““Ah.””” My mate spoke up as if realizing something. “““Is this person your mate as well darling?””” She spoke curiously while Flysa hesitantly approached, warily watching my mate for any sudden movements.

  I smiled slightly gestured her closer, “Not my mate, you are my mate or course. She is… Umu…” I stopped and pondered a bit while Flysa and my Mate attentively waited for my answer. “I guess she is like my mate, though probably not as much as you are.” I said while nuzzling into her.

  My mate turned her right head towards Flysa, “Then I am sorry for attacking you earlier. Come, let us rest.”

  Flysa nodded warily and approached us. Now that I notice it Flysa is much taller than my mate as well, though not as massive. Umu, my mate needs a name. I turned to her, “Your name will be Jerae.” *ting~

  Sure.

  “““Jerae… So that is my name. Thank you darling.””” She smiled and out left heads kissed tentively, warmly. Electricity ran down my spine at the kiss and my body heated up. Meanwhile I was looking over her status and noted her five unique skills. Flysa had also reached us and was warily wrapping her arm around my leg. *ting~

  This… I tilted my left head while my right rested a Jerae’s shoulder. I tried to recall what happened before I lost consciousness, but I couldn’t remember the image I was holding when I used my third tails ability. Speaking of which shouldn’t it have only created a vassal?

  Well, not that I mind. I smiled and inhaled her scent.

  “Immuta.” Jack called out to me, and I lifted my right head up in annoyance.

  ““Yes?”” I said, then blinked as saw the dried blood on his arm and lip. “What happened to you?” I asked curiously.

  He opened his mouth, then decided against it and sighed. I noticed Reverie and Choco were sending amused gazes at him, well Choco was. Well, Reverie it was hard to tell due to her lack of facial features, but her flames seemed to dance playfully.

  “Anyway,” Jack dusted himself off, “We should probably get moving. Standing in the middle of this cavern probably isn’t the best if other monsters decide to attack.”

  I looked around and noted we were still in the cave where we fought the behemoth that turned into Jerae. The walls and floor were heavily cracked, and in some places melted into slag. Also there was a human shaped depression on one of the walls that seemed recent.

  I shrugged and regretfully separated from Jerae, who stood up beside me. While Flysa was still double my height when in small form, Jerae was only a head or two taller than me. Flysa who was clinging to my leg took the opportunity to give me a long hug which I returned gratefully. Separating I joined hands with Jerae and motioned for Reverie to lead the way. Let’s get to the next series of floors quickly.
