Chapter 3964: Desert Heart (Part 1)

’Since you did most of the job, I solved the final issue.’ Solus presented the final product to him with pride. ’Merfolk love flowers, and Grandma loves Fire Orchids. I’d say our work is done.’

’Excellent idea, Solus.’ Lith admired the life-like petals of the stone construct. ’It will help the merfolk not to think about the ocean and symbolize their allegiance to Grandma. Fire Orchids are the Blood Desert’s national flower.’

’Glad that you like it.’ Solus giggled. ’Also, I’d like to point out that it didn’t take us long, Mr. Negativity.’

’Credit where credit is due, Solus. You were right and I was wrong.’ Lith checked his pocket watch, discovering that a little less than five minutes had passed. ’Let’s go back to the party. I’ll deliver the Desert Heart, you go back to your hot date.’

’What hot date?’ Solus asked in confusion.

’The oven-fresh cakes.’ Lith chuckled. ’You’d better be quick, before they get cold.’

’My cakes! I mean, that’s rude! I’d teach you a lesson if I weren’t in a rush. Bye!’ Solus and Lith Warped away at the same time, but while Solus appeared outside the tent and walked back in, Lith appeared inside the bathroom.

"I’m sorry to keep you waiting." He said to a couple of merfolk who were knocking on the door. "I was busy with a number three."

"I know one and two. What’s a number three?" One of the merfolk asked.

"Don’t be rude to our guest, Nher." The other merfolk nudged him. "It must be a human thing."

Lith ignored them and walked around the banquet hall until he spotted Rem. The merfolk representative was still talking with Aran when Leria and the Fastarrows joined them.

’At this point, I might as well teach merfolk swimming to all the kids.’ She thought. ’They are our guests and I don’t want to make any of them feel left out.’

"Please, be patient with Onyx." Aran said. "She’s afraid of water."

"I’m not afraid of water." The Utgard was in her human form, unwittingly fooling her merfolk host into thinking Onyx was a little girl. "I swim better than you."

"She’s just too prideful to admit it, Rem, but Onyx is a big scaredy cat." Aran scratched her below the ear and along her jawline.

"I’m not a-" The loud, purring sound worthy of a racing engine contradicted her words and cut her short.

"Wait, is she really a cat?" Rem wasn’t very familiar with human anatomy, but she was pretty sure humans weren’t supposed to purr.

"Better, she’s an Utgard!" Aran said with pride while Onyx nuzzled against his hand for more cuddles.

"What’s an Utgard?" Rem asked in confusion.

"Of course you don’t know!" Aran slapped his forehead in realization. "She’s the first of her race. Show her, Onyx."

"Okay." She took a few steps back to a free space and shapeshifted into her real form.

Onyx now looked like a saber-toothed tiger, but with two sets of forelegs and a dark fur akin to that of a black panther. A set of purple membranous wings came out of her back that had bony spikes coming out of their five finger-like tips.

"She’s not a Verhen!" Rem pointed at the huge feline in shock. "She’s an Emperor Beast!"

"Onyx is a Verhen!" Aran hugged her muscular neck. "She’s my best friend and part of my family."

"And so is Abominus." At Leria’s signal, the young boy turned into a colossal wolf coated in a crystal fur.
