Exp And Other Drugs

Intalru awoke to a strange sound just before the first sun began to rise. It was oddly similar to an owl but much louder than any owl he heard back on earth.. "Hmmm I better check that out.." After making his way out of the wagon he was surprised to see a massive creature sitting on top of one of the fruit trees he grew the day before. "Hooo.." The creature turned it's head at an impossible angle to look at Intalru.

"I'm Intalru now Hooo are you?" Before he could laugh at his pun the giant owl opened it's beak. "I am Kaepora.." .... "Are you f*ck!ng with me?.." "I am not interested in men.. or lizards for that matter." Kaepora responded with a straight face. Well a normal owl face at least.. "Nice to meet you then.. just out of curiosity do you know a young man by the name of link?" Intalru couldn't resist since he's in a 'Fictional' world and has heard of multiple beings from different mythologies he figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.. "No but the one who raised me if I met him I should assist him any way I could.. Do you know link?" Kaepora asked while turning his body to properly face the interesting 'Lizard'.. "Honestly that was just a shot in the dark.. did the one who raised you happen to be someone reincarnated from earth?" The owl ruffled his feathers slightly and began preening his wing before answering.

"Yes she was born in a land called Japan.. but sadly she has been gone for a very long time. Are you from earth as well?" "Yes I am.. How long is long? a couple years? a decade?.." "Three hundred and eighty seven years six months and four days.." Kaepora responded rather sadly.. "My condolences.." "Thank you.." ..... Intalru didn't know what to say and felt the atmosphere was growing rather awkward. "Did you plant these trees?" The giant owl asked before biting a peach in half.. "Yes I did.. you probably shouldn't eat the pit their slightly poisonous." The owl ate the rest of the peach before answering. "I appreciate your concern but with my stature I would need to consume several 'Pits' to even begin feeling the effects of poisoning. Rei loved peaches.. Thank you for allowing me to taste them again.." And with that Kaepora flapped his massive wings and left.. "You're welcome?.." Intalru was confused as to why the massive bird even shown up in the first place.. "I'm to sober for this sh!t.." And with that Intalru packed a bowl and began his day.

After smoking for a few minutes he heard some noise from the tent Velma was sleeping in before she poked her head out. "Morning did you sleep well?" "Would have slept better if.." She stopped mid sentence realizing Intalru was burning more of her flowers. "Is it really that good?" She asked while looking somewhat conflicted. "Wanna try?" Intalru held the pipe out to her jokingly but to his surprise she snatched it from his claws and put the pipe in her mouth.. "You're supposed to light it." Intalru went to put a flame to the bud but Velma handed the pipe back to him while smiling.. "Now I have one up on her." Realization dawned on Intalru's face.. She got him with a 'Second hand kiss' "I can't believe I fell for that.." "Too late to do anything about it." Velma replied while beaming.

"He could always make another pipe.." Amanda said as she appeared from out of nowhere behind the two of them. "Stop doing that! And how can you sneak up on me? I literally have a passive skill to keep people from doing that!" Velma jumped in surprise at the Myconids sudden appearance. "I'm practicing my ninja arts, soon I will learn shadow clone.. Then you will truly fear me!" Amanda replied while slipping in to her 'Chuuni' mindset.

"If you learn how to use Kage Bunshin no jutsu I'm going to sh!t a brick.." Intalru said causing the two women to look at him in a mixture of concern and disgust. "It's an earth saying.. I won't literally do it." Intalru quickly cleared up the misconception before stowing the pipe away and hitching the Auroch back up to the wagon. "You two ready?" The girls nodded their heads in unison before hopping onto the wagon. The three set off as the second sun peaked over the distant horizon.

...

Sha Na was in serious meditation when suddenly.. "Sha Na! My teacher told me that Intalru will be here soon, Is this true?" Nil Kul popped her head into Sha Na's hut and broke her concentration. "Yes sister.. he will be here tomorrow, now let me concentrate I feel like I'm close to a breakthrough." Sha Na answered shortly as she closed her eyes again. Even with her eyes closed though she could feel Nil Kul staring at her.. "What‽ have you never seen a Draconian meditate before!" Sha Na roared at her sister while standing up and turning to face her.. "I've never seen you meditate with out falling asleep.. I was timing you to see when you would start snoring." Nil Kul replied with a cheeky smile. "You!! I swear the moment I learn 'Smite' I'm going to scorch a permanent black spot on your forehead.. And I don't SNORE!!!"

"Yes you do.." Lilan Ka said as he poked his head into the window next to Nil Kul. "Lilan! how have you been? I went to check on you earlier but all I found was your teacher mumbling about.. what was it again.. something to do with good and evil.." Nil Kul asked while looking at her brother strangely. "Oh that.. Naro Thala was telling me about a spell called 'Protect from good and evil' and I was curious as to how it works.. Just because you think someone or thing is evil doesn't necessarily mean they/it are.. Let's take Sha Na for example, If I casted protect from evil on her and a celestial being appeared and decided to strike her would she still be protected? Celestials tend to be considered good but harming my sister is evil in my book. So should I have casted protect from good?"

..... The two women stared at Lilan Ka while blinking. "I.. hmmm.. No wonder your teacher hates you." Sha Na said causing Lilan Ka to look pained and Nil Kul began laughing. "It's a valid question though! I want to know what I should use in a situation like that.." Lilan Ka sulked. "What makes you think we will be fighting celestials any time soon?" Nil Kul asked quizzically. "Intalru.." Was the one word reply Lilan gave to defend himself. "Just do me a favor brother.. Cast a fireball instead I'm sure I'll be plenty safe if it decides to attack you instead for antagonizing it." Sha Na said before chuckling. "Teacher said I'm not allowed to use offensive spells at the moment, my aim is kind of.. off." Lilan replied.

"Ok you two go socialize somewhere else I need to concentrate!" Sha Na said while shooing her siblings away. "Come outside after you get to a stopping point I want to show you my new skill!" Nil Kul said as she dragged Lilan Ka away. "Sure! I can't wait to see it." After the two were out of her sight Sha Na began meditating again..

Sha Na felt her sould drift and opened her eyes to be greeted by the sight of beautiful women with snake like tails instead of legs. The women were staring at her with joyous smiles and began singing the moment she opened her eyes.

Idir ann is idir as

Idir thuaidh is idir theas

Idir thiar is idir thoir

Idir am is idir áit

Casann sí dhom

Amhrán na farraige

Suaimhneach nó ciúin

Ag cuardú go damanta

Mo ghrá

Idir gaoth is idir tonn

Idir tuilleadh is idir gann

Casann sí dhom

Amhrán na Farraige

Suaimhneach nó ciúin

Ag cuardú go damanta

Idir cósta, idir cléibh

Idir mé is idir mé féin

Tá mé i dtiúin..

The song was beautiful even though she couldn't understand the language they spoke it made her feel happy yet sad.. After the women finished singing one of them with glistening silver hair floating in the water swam to her and flashed a gentle smile, her sea blue eyes filled withe sorrow as she kissed Sha Na's forehead.

Suddenly Sha Na awoke in the hut she was meditating in.. Ding! Title 'Lí Ban's grace' has been gifted to you, would you like to equip?.. "Oh no... I'm like him.." was all she muttered before she began worrying about her future.

...

"Achoo!" Intalru suddenly sneezed. "Someone must be talking about you." Amanda said from the back of the wagon. "Must be Sha Na.. I don't think anyone else has anything to say about me." Intalru replied half joking. "I don't know about that.. you're pretty memorable." Velma said while smiling gently. "And what does that mean?" Intalru asked indignantly. "Just that you're hard to forget." Amanda replied. "That doesn't exactly make me feel better.." Intalru sighed before focusing on the Auroch again.

...

After calming down for a moment Sha Na decided to equip her new title "Equip title Lí Ban's grace.." Suddenly Sha Na felt as if she was immersed in water for a moment, then she felt her Mana swelling inside of her. "Oh no.. oh no, oh no, no, no, nooo!!! I'm not special! don't make me like Intalru!!! Take it back!.. D*mn!t!!!... At least I should be able to summon a rain storm now.." No sooner had the words crossed her lips did the sky's darken and a heavy downpour let loose.. "Oops.. that might make it tough to hunt. Sorry.."

...

"huh?" Zul Sha was almost to the river when suddenly the sky darkened over the village. "I knew she was Blessed! that lying little.. ugh.. well I could act like I didn't see the storm and demand for her to cast it again just to see how strong her connection is to the Undine.." "What are you mumbling about you old lizard.." While Zul Sha was focusing on the village a m.a.t.u.r.e female draconian with a barely discernable silver glint to the scales around her eyes had snuck up on him.. She was the village chieftain Uru Elna. "Where's your escort? Don't you know you could die if a passing birds turd happened to land on you? I mean you're so old I'm impressed you can even get out of bed without summoning a spirit to pull you up straight.." The insults continued for several minutes before she finally asked him why he was out of the village in the first place. Zul Sha began breathing heavy and looked as if he was going to start yelling before he suddenly grew call and smiled amiably "You should save your limited vocabulary for the speech you have to present tomorrow.." "What speech?" Uru Elna asked while looking at the old lizard strangely. "The speech you are going to dedicate to the young champion of Tiamat and Bahamut.." Zul Sha began to explain. what the chief had missed out on while she was taking care of her scales... "Are you F*ck!ng with me‽‽‽"
