chapter 106: it's was a trap [Flashback] [R-18+]

Yuki jumped and hugged Shiro as she saw her, Yuki didn't know why she did it but for some reason she just felt like hugging Shiro after not seeing her for almost a week.

"Idiot your back!???" she said grabbing Yuki by under the arms but Yuki's grip on her was tight, Yuki then wrapped her legs around Shiro and sat up.

She then looked at Shiro's beautiful and confused face and kissed her, then leaning backwards to speak "I missed you so I came to visit~"

"Idiot don't be an idiot! It's storming outside! Why did you come here, you'll... Well now your stuck here!" she said being serious about the storm.

"I guess you'll have to take care of my sorry ass then~ Haha" Yuki said smiling at Shiro "language Yuki!" she pouted

"Huh?" Yuki tilted her head "no cursing" Shiro simply replied "ehh" that's very ironic coming from you.

"Don't be fucking stupid idiot, I said no cursing allowed" IRONIC RIGHT... SO FUCKING IRONIC.

"Then make me stop~" Yuki said with a lewd teasing smile and shiro just pulled out something from next to her.

She then opened it and sealed yuki's mouth which made Yuki's eye twitch as she got off of Shiro and stood infront of her with electrical tape litterally attached to her mouth.

"Well that's better~" Shiro said and Yuki's tail unraveled and started swaying around kinda pissed off.

Yuki then pealed off the tape which was painful as fuck since it was real electrical-tape, and now she could feel her lips throbing like a heart beat as they hurt.

Shiro smiled and yuki just took a deep breath before

.

.

.

"I DIDNT MEAN TAPE MY FUCKING MOUTH DUMBASS! ! !" Yuki was upset and she yelled at shiro as she ment for her to act sexual or kiss her, not fucking tape her mouth with electrical tape.

Yuki then stormed off and slamed the door behind her.

"What I do?" Shiro said innocently as she acted like she didn't do anything,

She then ran over and opened the door and saw Yuki just walking down the hall "where are you going Yuki!" she yelled over to her.

"I'm going to go fuck someone now leave me alone!" Yuki was pretty upset.

*************

[ Lilith PoV ]

She was laying in a rented room in the tavern and she was getting fucked by a human. He came for the second time in a row he pulled out laying down next to her.

She crawled over to him and took of his condom but as she did she saw that he was exhausted and had gotten soft.

She felt disappointed as she hadn't even came from that season plus it only lasted around fifteen minutes.

"Here's you pay" he said giving her twelve-hundread units "thanks, have a good day love" she said as she got off of the bed and got dressed before leaving.

"So disappointing, i was atleast hoping to cum one time atleast, he looked like a promising human too, but I guess his essence was worth it, it wasent that bad but it wasen't that good either" she said to herself as she walked back downstairs to meet up with Kokuf and have another drink.

she got down there and as she did she had a wisky this time and desided to drink untill she was hammered.

"i think you've had enough for today Lilith, Tizaru will take you to lay down in one of the spare rooms of the fifth floor" he said signaling his son to help her out.

"If you see any orc or beastkin come in here, tell them to hit me up... I swear... Those are what you call real men... 'hiccup' They all know how to satisfy a woman... Also Rin, if he comes back tell him to came and visit me again, I swear you're daughter are so fucking lucky man, for a human he really knows how to make a girl feel good... 'hiccup'... He's my favorite of all... Fucking jayba yabubu" she said as she rested her head on the counter and Tizaru picked up.

He carried her all the way to fifth floor were he layed her down on a bed "goodnight Lilith" he said turning around but as he did she grabbed his hand.

"My last client couldn't satisfy me, make me come" she told him as she lifted her shirt showing her breast to the lizard and lowing her hand to rub her pettle.

She was going into a lust-drive due to being blue ballsed and not satisfied by her client before.

"Lilith you know the rules of the tavern" he said seriously.

.

.

.

but then he took of his shirt "you have to pay for our services like everyone else, but I'm feeling good today so I'll give you half off like the girl I serviced this morning" he said striping and moving onto the bed.

******************

Meanwhile as this was happening Hunter found his way into shadowfall and then found himself at a tavern in the red-light district to relax before he started his work.

He was wet but then took off his large coat and put it on a stool as he sat next to it and looked over at Kokuf.

A kablot walked up to him "what'll it be sir, I assume your hear for a drink but we also offer food and special services" he said and Hunter looked at him indiffrently "your hitmen?" the kabolt shook his head "we don't do that...well maybe father might, but our services are sex sir, and today we have a few prostitutes here who are available and working with us, so if you find anyone intresting let us know, oh and not all of them are prostitutes" he explained.

"Oh... just get me whatever drink you thinks the strongest here, or a cold beer of you can't decide" he said and the kabalt smiled.

"So you'll be having a hybrid, okay just one moment, oh and thats going to be two silvers" he said signaling Kokuf and telling him.

Not long after a half blue red drink was surved by Kokuf, but before Kokuf left he stoped him.

"Sir what can you tell me about these people" he pulled out a paper with names and race.

Kokuf looked at it and then was about to say he didn't know anything, but then Hunter put a platinum coin on the paper.

Kokuf took it and then looked at it again.

"The first thrid and sixth are a mystery but I do know about the others,.

.

Sarada is a resident of the castuim tazzin Corp, she's a chi cultivator and if you ask for her she'll probably come if not busy.

.

Karl is the younge master of the prestige Harlem sect's head, but getting in contact with him is almost impossible without bung in the red-light district for a long time.

.

A darkness? I have no clue what this is about but... Wait aren't those the beings from the legends" he said confused but hunter had a serious look so he continued.

"Rin Ito huh? that kid's a collage student of I think it was... Winter-Spring University, and he's dating my daughter. that's all I know" he didnt exactly tell the truth but he didn't lie about the targets...

'Sorry but no amount of money will make this kobold, reavel anything deep on his valued and potental costomers... oh and that little boy Rin' he said to himself as he continued back to work.

"By any chance have you ever seen Rin use a dark power, more specifically a power of darkness" he said and Kokuf kept up a pokerface.

"Rin is able to manipulate ice, he's an ice mage, well he's an apprentice one, because he's not very skilled in it" he said covering for Rin as he didn't like this Stanger and wanted to tell him off, but he wasen't about to act suspicious and get his daughter's partner taken away so he just kept his mouth shut.

"Thank you for you time" Hunter said but it wasent enough info for them except Sarada, but then again he also got all the info he needed on a few of them.

He then took a sip of the blue red drink and she slightly smiled for the first time "this reminds me of a drink before my reincarnation here, haha" he chuckled

"Bar keeper, give me the cheapest room here for a month" he said and then took out a silver coin since the low quality rooms were only 3 copper coins for a day.

Kokuf didn't like the suspicious person, but business was business.

******************

"ahh ~ yuki ~ yuki ~" a girl moaned as yuki had sunk her fangs into her and another girl ate her out.

Yuki released her and but then another girl came into the picture and kissed Yuki, she tasted strongly of alcohol and Yuki kissed her back and then fingerbanged both her and the girl she sunk her fangs in before.

A minute passed and they broke their kiss and and pressed their forhead together erotically breathing.

but then Yuki's breathing for heavier as the girl went down and kissed her pussy, teasing her clit and sucking on it.

"Hey everyone it's Yuki's turn~!" the girl Yuki bit said aa she pulled Yuki onto her body hugging her from behind.

"Yeah let's get her~!" another girl said and all of them surrounded yuki.

One moved to her boob and started sucking her tit while another one teased her other nipple and at the same time both were groaping her small breasts.

The girl behind yuki turned her head and kissed Yuki muffling her moans, and three others were left out.

"Come here girls" the one teasing Yuki's pussy said and one joined her while the other two went to each of yuki's hands were Yuki finger banged both of them.

[Incu-lust]

They did this for half an hour and Yuki multi-orgasms a few times and so did all the other girls.

They got off of yuki and she was messy as drool came down her mouth from being ganged up on buy seven people.

"Girls look at me for a second" she said and as they did,

[ Incubus's rhythm ]

as they looked into her eyes multiple Yuki's appeared before eveyone and they all could see them all.

but as this happened it Wasent just yuki's that appeared.

"Your mine" a lotus with red eyes with a cold tone said and the girl blushed as he appeared and suddenly pushed her down and slowly began taking his time with her.

Another red eyes lotus was already fucking someone and the girl happy rode him, and it looked like he was being forced into submission "i love a bitch who can take control, but sorry love, a human like you is no match for me" he said claping both of his hands on her ass, he then started moving and she was going crazy with pleasure that she came after a minute.

There was another lotus with green eyes and he looked shy, a girl teased him and he didn't refused, it seemed as if he enjoyed being teased by her.

.

"Please be gentle~" he said and she grinned as she wispered something in his ear and his face became cherry red and little steam puffs came out of his head, he then nodded his head and she layed back and then he moved up licking her pussy and making her cum before he penetrated her and they started fucking.

A pink eyes lotus made love with the girl Yuki bit and she looked as if she was loving every moment if it as they passionately went at it.

Meanwhile a red eyes Yuki was standing up and had a look of disgust in her eyes as she had her foot on a girls pussy just rubbing it with the ball of her food and the as the girl moaned from being stepped on, Yuki then used more of her foot as she looked down on the girl and stepped on her more.

.

"I bet a dirty whore like you is enjoying this right now you sick fuck, you disgust me" she said as she steped on the girl more and she came "Yuki step on me more~ make my dirty ass cum more with your amazing foot~" she moaned,

.

"Fucking masochist, if you want to be steped on so badly I guess I'll gave to make you my personal stepping stool, after all who am I to deny such a naughty whore like you" she said haughty as she pressed harder on her pussy and the girl moaned.

A green eyes Yuki was jealous of the other lotus's and yuki's and she was more possessive as she hugged a girl and kissed her, Yuki's lust then doubled and before she knew it, a girl and her were humping eachother and rubbing their clits together making eachother cum as they kissed.

Meanwhile the pink eyed Yuki took the girl infront of the origin Yuki and started making love to her, but she was a bit to wild as she fucked the girl with her tail and came quicker than the actual target, but this made the girl happy to hear Yuki moan and cum, she started teasing Yuki's pussy with her hand and tounge as she was being fucked by yuki's tail.

Meanwhile the original Yuki watched as shadows of herself/and himself were brought to life and had fun with the others.

She looked at them and each of them were actually made of her miasma/mist with a few drops of darkness mixed in there as their cores which lied in the center of their chest allowed them to take physical forms instead of illusions.

[3]

[ Mana and hunger fully depleted, you have depleted all 50 demonic mana that has been stored as well, please learn better mana control ]

"Are you kidding me!" Yuki yelled as she felt extreamly hungry and completely drained.

[ 2 ]

[ Now I understand why you actually have the soul armor's with mana stability and control enhancements ] - Annie said.

[ I know theirs a 50% chance of any sort of your magic being random, but who would of thought you would of used litterally all you had] - Annie said.

[ I'm impressed through... but there's still a lot of flaws especially in your technique and the way you used it. . . just know that the levels are their for a reason and you gain Exp by developing experience useing the skill, so you don't fuck up and make something else like you did now] - Annie said seriously and If she had a body she would shake her head at him.

[ But I guess these darkness Incubus things are good for the purpose of your mission right now....Hey already you evenl listening to me lotus ] - Annie asked.

She wasn't paying attention at all as her miasma filled the room and she joined in on the fun.

[ This is why I said I'd never have kids... 'sigh' ] - Annie said

***

A long passed and every time Yuki's mana would come back up it would suddenly vanish too keep them here.

She finally cut it as all the girls were tired out and the doubles imploded.

Yuki had around 12MP in her and she stood up looking at the tired out girls,

[ influence ]

"I hope you keep everything we did today a secret girls~" yuki said "why~? but I guess if you stay longer we'll think about it." they said and Yuki frowned as it didn't work out like she planned.

[ influence failed ]

But the she thought about it [influence] "fine, fine, just don't talk about me skill then, pretty please~" she said as she then layed next to the girls and they all cuddled up with eachother as they slowly began falling asleep.

Yuki didn't need to do anything, they were just naturally tired,

And with that she began her feast. As the essence filled the room and they were all for the taking.

***

An hour passed and as the warmth of the girls made her conformable, she ate all the avaliable essence but a quarter of them dissolved into the air.

[ 576/1,000 collected essence ]

Yuki collected 443 essence from that and each of them made a bit more than 50 essence each, and the one who produced the most was a girl name zelina who made 76 essence total.

Yuki felt refreshed after eating all of those human's essence, they were literally refreshing and they tasted...Alright, but they were just so gentle and had a weak flavor to them and their texture was that of tofu.

Yuki really didn't understand his/her sister's choice in favorite race's for essence.

Shoot there also not able to last long either, it it wasent for me feeding them my blood and using my aphrodisiac on them, they would of only came eight times and it would of been so boring.

But then again human's have their quirks and their all so enjoyable to be around, I can somewhat understand, after all these girls were really amazing today.

Yuki gave the two girls next to her a peck on the cheek and she got up "love ya ladies~ sweet dreams~" yuki said as blue miasma seeped out of her and went into all seven girls.

[Dream Walker]

Leaving the girls with their desired fantasy her hear clip became her clothes and she switched back into lotus.

He yawned and he cloaked his entire body to turn transparent as he then left back to trinity's room.

He got there and as he walked in he saw candle lights and the light-crystals were off.

He got confused and then he saw trinity reading a book, it looked as their was a horned creature with a heart tail on the cover of the book.

The door then closed and she jumped and hid the book behind her back and then looked over to lotus.

"Oh hey your back! . . . . Uh, I was just.... Umm... I was about to text you to come back 'girl is that the best excuse you have to say to him' come and sit down I'll be right back" she said as she got up and hid the book behind her back as she went to her room.

This confused lotus "that was weird?" was she reading a porn mag or something? . . . no I don't smell any sorts immense lust radiating off of her so it must be something else.

But what was it?

Before he could think more about it she came back and he was about to ask about it but she was energetic and evaded it by making two plates of food and siting down infront of him.

He thanked her and as they ate she had a questions "you want to know how your brother's doing right?" he asked and she didn't have that in mind, but she nodded anyways "he's not at peace yet, probably because he still has a grudge against the other two ghost, but last time I saw him he was cultivating so he's probably training to became a spirit just like Ashley" he explained.

She looked a bit down hearing about her dead brother so he immediately apologized and changed the topic.

[ You need to socialize more lotus, think before speaking ] - Annie said disappointed in him

'But-'

[ No butt's, your excuse is nothing in the eyes of someone still grieving ]

'Its not like he's truly dead tho!'

[ We're not talking about it anymore lotus, now cheer her up and don't fuck up ] - she said pressurong him.

"So lotus your a Demon from hell right? I mean the underworld! sorry I didn't mean to say hell when thats not its real name" she said as hell was just a nickname for it, but the word hell was despised by all Demon's of this realm due to the Demon trials were they hunted all Demon's and called them hell walkers.

"It's okay, haha actually I'm from shadowfall" he said not really carring about it.

"Is that a place in the underworld?" she asked and he burst out in laughter "actually it's in the lower world, you wanna take a guess where" he said bugging.

"Is it in altira the Demon kingdom" she said and he looked at her stupidly "its the next city over from here" he said and she went silent.

"Well you see. . . ." she then paused as she didn't have a valid excuse for not knowing "your a Skull Habuku and you and your brother migrated form outside of the neutral kindmon, I've heard" he said remembering back to Tyson talking with him one time.

"Yeah! your right!" she said but then the atmosphere got a little dim and she changed the mood "can I see what you really look like~" she asked with puppy dog eyes.

She was hopping something cool like red or gray skin, swirly horns, a thin tail with a heart on the end, and if he has wings, then bat like wings and also maybe a scary look or even a beautiful hot manly look.

He snapped his fingers and his transformation and cloak dissapeared.

His face got flustered as he finished sheding his scales earlier that day while he was with Elaine and he felt naked as his wings and tail were more senstive and were at their weakest right now.

[cloak]

He then made it seem like his scales were there so he didn't feel as naked as he was, and the incubi clothing didn't help him either... SO FUCKING EMBARRASSING.

She saw as his tail and horns came out and it wasen't what she was expecting but then a pair of wings poped outand surprising her.

an3d then then she looked at his crimson red eyes which looked scary but his expression made it seem almost gentle.

"Stop staring so hard, can't you tell how embarrassing this is for me" he said bluntly showing his feelings.

"Oh my God your so adorable~~~. . .Well more than before atleast but still adorable" she cooed and then reachother and touched his wing startling him.

His body turned into a cloud of darkness and dispersed to behind the couch, where he then reappeared once a darkness figure of him came together.

"Don't suddenly touch me like that!" he yelled as they were extremely sensitive.

"Sorry" she put her hands up.

He ended up sitting back down and he explained he recently shed his scales and she understood but still asked and got to feel his tail and wings which made him slightly moan and she blushed as she continued.

.

But she took it slower.

***

In the end, after endless torture of Tysons sister Trinity toying with his wings and messing with him, he ended up laying down passed out on the couch and she moved his head to lay on her lay as she stroked his head and looked at a few photos she took of him, during their time together.

She smiled and couldn't stop blushing as she replayed her time teasing him in her head.

"To think your a male succubus, your nothing of what I imagined, your personality is diffrent from what I've heard and I was expecting you to be super hot... not cute, kinda like how your sisters are all beautiful" she said as she stoked his hair more.

"Ha, it dosen't matter if your hot or not tho, I like you for you lotus, goodnight and thanks for today~" she said talking to his sleeping body.

[ Trinity's bond: 405% ]

( how the hell is it so high ×-×)

***

Waking up today lotus sat up and he saw Trinity asleep siting up and he was confused on what happened but he assumed he fell asleep and she kept him company.

He thought that was nice of her and he Got up and left, he didn't know what to do about collecting essence and he wasent hungry so he didnt feel like feeding even tho he had to, so he desided to throw his own little party.

He looked around as he went to the second hall he looked and saw that it was crowded as many students were talking to eachother In groups.

His power and skills didn't really work well like this but it wouldn't hurt to try. He walked throught the hallway and released his miasma.

He poisoned the air around all of them with his transparent miasma which was potent with his aphrodisiac and he stoped in the middle.

He didn't stop because he wanted to be in the middle its because he saw Vonya infront of him... But this was a perfect chance to expose everyone to more of his miasma and let the aphrodisiac build up.

He tapped her sholder and she was immediately defensive. But then he smiled and greeted her and she jumped at him hugging him.

She was happy to see him and her whole personality switched as they cough up and talked.

It didn't seem like long passed and his plan was working, some of them gave into their desire and began making out with the closest to them, it was if they all were hypnotized and went into lust drives.

But their was also those who had a high resistance to his aphrodisiac.

Vonya had some resistance, but in the end she was driven by her primal instincts which drew her to grab lotus and kiss him.

he accepted it and kissed her back so he didnt draw any attention to himself since more and more people were being drawn in by their desires for another as well.

They both hit a wall and sat down as they made out. Meanwhile some others were beginning to get freaky did some exhibition as they publicly began fucking eachother.

This hallway was mostly full of beastkin's, warlocks, a few witch's who dated the warlocks there, and some werewolves like Vonya.

"Rin... Can we" she cooed but before she could finish he had a cresent smile "of couse~" he said and she had a lewd look as she licked his cheek and kissed him deeply while undoing his pants.

She got it but then moaned as he rubbed her pussy lips and pinched her clit hood.

She couldn't wait any longer and without hesitation she sat on his cock sliding it into her which she immediately tensed up and her pussy walls clamped down strongly on his cock which made him a quarter of the way there already.

"Its b-been so... So long sin-since we...Made lo-love like this... I missed you Rin" she said as she leaned against his chest and her tail wagged happily.

He didn't say anything as he felt his mind slip for a second, she was going to say something but then he lifted her head up and kissed her passionate.

His actions told her everything as she got even more excited as his hands touched her ass and he rubbed his rubbed his crotch against hers teasing her clit and also edging her pussy as his cock hit her cervix and it was like his cock was kissing her womb.

It didn't look like a satisfying motion but she could feel it rubbing her walls and satisfying her just as much as him bending her over and ficking her.

She deeply enjoyed passionate sex and perfered it being more slow and having it building up which got her even more excited... But right now she wanted to just fuck and her love for him made her crave him.

***

An hour past and he found himself exhausted as he was still siting there with her in his arms and her head laying in his shoulder.

He then started absorbing the essence that filled the hallway and lotus wasen't the only one tired out, everyone else was as well and his miasma kept building up the aphrodisiac untill it exploded inside of them and they all were unable to keep it going.

"Congratulations eveyone~ I feel like alot of you are going to be good parents, haha" lotus laughed to himself as he just got alot of people...probably knocked up.

Well it's their problem now, lets just hope the guys didn't shoot anything too strong and the ladies here weren't fertile, well the beastkin for sure weren't fertile in this season. . .But you never know.

Lotus began absorbing it all and after many hours his darkness roared as his darkness-intent became visible and it was like black flames came off of him but it didn't burn nor make any heat.

It then dissapesred and his eyes lit up as he grinned.

[ 1,000/1,000 collected essence ]

[ Wow master you actually completed it! your the seventeenth to ever complete this evolviotion challenge, or atleast your the first incubus ]

[ Now let me tell you whats going to happen, since you're not a child of Apolo, you won't gain his charm, nor skills, or anything relating to that guy like your sisters ]

[ Actually it seems your too attached to your mother's grate charm for lust. . .But not love, and since you truly don't understand what love actually is ]

[ Your going to have a harder time trying to survive because of this reward, its actually both a gift and curse ]

"Ehh? Wait! Wait! Wait! What curse? And what do you mean I'll have a harder time surviving" he said anxious because of the system.

[ You saw this coming lotus. . .Your personality shifted and even your eyes became more like him ]

"Him?" he said in response.

[ Its to late I can't explane, but if you don't want everyone inside of the school to die do as I instruct ]

The system said and his thirst for blood increased as well as his bloodlust.

She told him and stood up moved Vonya off of him quickly, waking her up in the process.

"Rin?" but as she said that she saw a circle of darkness under him and his body sunk into the darkness.

She wasen't the only one, Shiro who was walking down to get breakfast heard what was happening and she watched as her inner pervert showed.

But then this happened and she noticed lotus, all she could do was watch as her body suddenly froze up and wouldn't let her move.

He disappeared and she was finally free.

* * * * *

meanwhile lotus was now in the void once again.

As he entered in their he saw immediately saw a darkness with a sunset red glow and the darkness jumped as lotus had startled him.

"Ten!?" he was deeply confused as he floated there.

[ all the partners that have chosen you by choice will stay while the other one's will be set free, some thing may change while other's will stay the same with them ]

[ Your power resides more on your mother's side because your father's side was sealed away for the most part by that wretched witch of a mother who cursed her children ]

[ It will lessen and seducing someone will be harder and you may strve a few times as her power over you will all go away, finally leaving you with your own power ]

[ But the sealed which hid part of you away will finally be broken ]

[ And with these finally words you will finally gain your real power... which truly belongs to you! not her ]

The system said and his demonic features poped out fully showing

His scales regrew instantly.

Demonic mana shrouded his body and purple like essence started to get forcfully ejected out of him, which then gotten eaten by the void itself.

He snarled and growled as his body was in pain from the love goddess blessing and curse being ripped out him.

It all finally left and his demonic mana started getting mixed in with green and then black, his darkness and core mana joined in.

It then mixed and then all went back inside of him.

Blood rushed out of his eyes, nose, and mouth before blood red mana erupted out of him and he felt his body evaporate as getting replaced by his real darkness body.

His firey fanged green face glew and he suddenly felt sleepy.

The fifth darkness cought lotus and checked he was alright, but then lotus looked at him and nodded as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

[ Your true power is unleashed ]

[ You will find it challenging and more difficult to feed and your incubus nature will be put to the test, not just in love&lust but also blood and war will show ]

[ Your finally at a balance and no overpowered being like your mother can monopolize you anymore ]

[ With the loss of your greatest strength, you however have gained a few useful things ]

[ Son of Khorne and Jösephinetle ]

***

Lotus floated around the void asleep for a few years, he was hibernating and when he woke up he was met with his brother who stayed by his side, he told him what happened and they spoke for a bit.

It seemed another year passed withing the void but only an hour passed in the real world.

Lotus eventually went back into hibernation before waking up again, and only a few hours had passed in the real world.

But how many years did he sleep for?

***Present Time***

After he made love with Maria they both layed there on the couch and she was excited as their adventurer started tomorrow.

She already had a place she wanted to start with...but she had some worries, and it wasen't the adventurer, she was all about that.

But the people outside the kindom were very... diffrent, vampiresand Demons like them weren't as welcomed like it is in this kingdom.

Even tho she didn't know he was a Demon and be didn't know she was a vampire

She pushed all the bad thought behind her.

She had a plan and as long as she was with lotus she wouldn't get exposed and or discovered.

"We're just going to be two human adventurers traveling" she said think about it and also whatever lotus was, she thought he was a halfling.
