Merlett: The BloodFairy Romance

Bedtime Stories

Scarlett woke up from an unpleasant dream about the previous day. This could also be said about the other members of the Racist Kindergardeners, altough with slight time differences, and differing content. Scarlett tied her hair, then immediately started to experiment with the celestial blood she found, and hers as well. While Tia went down for water, the experiment was successfull; by mixing the two flasks' content in a correct ratio, the overall structure of the blood has changed, possibly enchanting some abilities, but it proved to be instable at the same time. Clearly, it was a step, but more experimentation was needed.
- Which is your favourite blood? - asked Tia all of a sudden from behind her, holding a glass of water towards her. Scarlett took her precious time thinking about it, took the water, then answered:
- Well, maybe this one, this is from a celestial, but I don't have a big selection now, only this, mine[craft], and one from an orc.
- Cool. - replied Tia, then both heard a knock on the door. Scarlett opened it, and she saw Lantra:
- Hey there, when are you planning to depart?
- Soon, I'll check on the others. - replied Scarlett, and with that, she went to knock on the bois' door. Zachary opened the door, and said the following, heart-touching monologue:
- Good mo*COUGH COUGH FULLADÁSOS HALÁL*rning...
- You good?
- Yea, it will be fine. 
- Lantra was asking when are we planning to dep...
- As soon as we ate someting, I'm starving. - said Gaylord, interrupting the two. As the bois headed down, Scarlett turned towards Lantra:
- Hey, I know it will be a weird question to ask, but can I maybe examine you?
- What? I mean, for what purpose? - replied Lantra, as her face turned slightly red. She probably misunderstood that question...
- Oh, nothing, I'm just interested in you, you in your blood, specifically. In fact, I'm interested in all kinds of bloods... - now Lantra's ears were red as well. Scarlett relized this too late.
- Not for some weird sex-thing, right? - asked the aasimar, in a scared tone.
- No, no no no no, not for that, don't worry, I'm a nurse, proficient in blood-studies. - tried Scarlett to put ot the fire. With little success.
But she got the blood. 
While the others were eating.

...

[Gaylord managed to ride a horse named 'Archer' that was notorious for not letting anyone on his back. Nice fasz, Gaylord.]

Tent building competition:
Zachary: 15
Gaylord: 21

Gaylord won, but both were good enough to sleep in.

...

As Zachary went away with Lantra and Sevrik to have a "private chat" (😱😏), Scarlett convinced Gaylord to go hunting:
- But if you are hungry, why don't you go out to search for food?
- Why don't YOU go out to search for food?
- I'm not that hungry. But you know what? I'll go. I'm obviously better at hunting than you. - said Scarlett, with a slight smirk. Gaylord didn't realize that the bloodhunter was just messing with him to convince his ego.
- No, you're not. And I'll show it to you, in a contest. It starts now. - and the two went out to the dark forest. Gaylord chose a rather intriguing tactic; to climb up a tree, and with that overlook established, search for a prey. Scarlett was sticking to the ground, following a trail. Soon, she  saw a wild boar, quietly eating some acorns in front of her. She tried to stop the animal's heart via blood magic, but as soon as she tried, she saw the boar get obliterated into a crater by a blue and a red eldritch blast. As it turns out, Gaylord also saw the boar. He screamed from the top of the tree:
- Hah! I won! Told ya! - and thus, he climbed down.
- What? How could you call this a win? You didn't even catch it, you DESTROYED that poor boar!
- But I killed it. Therefore I'm the better hunter. - smiled Gaylord.
- So if you're the better hunter, what are you going to eat then? - Gaylord took a second to think, then said:
- That doesn't matter. I got it first. The loser has to search for food.
- Wait, what? We didn't even...
- I'm altering the deal, pray I don't alter it any further. - said Gaylord, as he could see Scarlett slightly infuriated. Infuriated, but not out of ideas:
- Double or nothing? The loser still has to search for food.
- Hmmmm... - Gaylord, again, took some time to think. But eventually, he gave in. No one could ever hope to beat him in anything:
- Okay. I'm in. - so the two continued the hunt. They were searching the forest up and down, after this little loud incident, that scared the local wildlife. Soon, they both saw a deer, unaware of their presence, or it's place in the bigger picture; the prize in a game it didn't even knows about.
Scarlett focused every ounce of her power to try and stop the deer's heartbeat before it, or Gaylord could react. This time she succeeded. The deer fell on the ground, devoid of life.
- I won! - screamed Scarlett towards Gaylord, who climbed atop a tree again. He slowly got down, and said:
- Correction: won the second time. I still was faster at the first, if you would've accepted defeat, we wouldn't be here.
- And you wouldn't have deer meat to feast upon tonight, am I right? And who catched this deer? Hmmm?
- I won't be fooled by your trickery of words, Scarlett. Let's just get back this deer into the camp.
- Looks like someone can't admit he lost... - she heard a small growl from Gaylord, but nothing more. The two lifted the deer, and went back to camp with it. 
The team had a great feast that night. Even Tia got out of Gaylord's tent after an 8 hour long horseing around (lol) to taste it. 

Then came the night.
Tia went back to Gaylord's tent. The next one on the line was Scarlett; she took some time to choose a tent [Zachary was definitely not watching 😶], but eventually, by guidance of an unknown force, she stepped foot in Zachary's establishment. This was followed by Gaylord and Sevrik entering Gaylord's tent. As soon as they got out of sight, Zachary got hit by an ominous realization;
He will have to share the 3-person tent with two females. (😱😱😱👉👌😱😱😱)
This was made worse by the fact Lantra said this:
- You can go have a rest, I'll guard the camp first. In one hour I'll wake you or someone up. - Zachary froze.
"Wait, if she does guarding, then there will be only me and Scarlett in the tent 😳😳...)
- O-okay. I'll guess I'll... go sleep then. Yes. - replied the ranger, as he slowly walked towards the tent. He stopped before Gaylord's establishment, to look inside; no place for a fourth individual. He proceeded to his tent's entrance, took a big gulp, then he entered.
Scarlett was getting ready for the night. She untied her long, waist-high hair, and was in the middle of taking off her armor. She noticed Zachary entering, but didn't bother herself. Zachary, after a deep breath, said:
- Well, uhhh... the other tent was occupied, and I... well... 😰😰😰
- It's okay, no problem. - replied Scarlett, with a small smile on her face. Not a lusty smile, but rather a friendly one. This eased Zachary up a little bit; he lied down at the other side of the tent, and the tiredness slowly catched up to both of them. In 10 minutes, they were both sleeping like babies.

The night proved to be uneventful; at least for this one hour that Lantra was awake, alone, by the fire. She yawned, the got up, and walked to Zachary's tent. As she opened up the entrace, a really interesting sight welcomed her;
Zachary was sleeping in the middle, with one of his arms extended slightly towards Scarlett, who was facing Zachary. The two were awfully close to each other, on turn from any of them, and they would be sleeping ON each other (👀🥵🥵). Altough she didn't really knew them, therefore she didn't really knew what was going on here, she did not have the heart to wake any of them. Instead, she went to the other tent to wake Tia up. Tia got up with a big yawn, but eventually they settled in beside the fire. Lantra walked back to the tent, and took a sleeping position at the free end of the tent.

As their shift ended, Tia got up from the warm embrace of the fire, and walked to Zachary's tent (this ended well the last time didn't it?). They gazed upon the following:
Lantra sleeping on the right; Zachary and Scarlett facing each other in close vicinity. REALLY close vicinity. It was kind of a cute sight, Tia couldn't get themself to wake any of them up; they rather spent another hour guarding the camp. After that, they went back to wake Lantra, but...
Lantra was sleeping on the right end of the tent, as before. On the middle-left however, were Zachary and Scarlett; the latter sleeping on Zachary's arm, with only a very small gap between her, and the ranger's face (😳😱🥵😵). Tia carefully woke up Lantra, but the latter sent Tia to wake Gaylord instead. Tia did just that, and waked Gaylord by tickling his foot. The boy woke up a bit annoyed, but nevertheless, he did his duty.

However, when the one hour was finished, he immediately opened up Zachary's tent, to wake up Scarlett (this is a common theme now as it seems). He didn't really bother that they were nearly hugging each other at this point with Zachary, he just wanted to go back to sleep. Altough, he found this situation a bit strange.
- Scarlett, it's your turn. - to this, Scarlett woke up. 
She was lying on Zachary's arm. 
Facing him.
Really close. 
- 😳😳
To her movements, Zachary woke up slightly as well:
- 😴🥱😳
- 😳⬆️ - she sat up in literal lightspeed, with a small blush on her face. Zachary pretended to be asleep, with also a slight blush. He spent the next hour or so thinking about whether or not this happened. He slowly tilted his head to smell his arm; he could sense Scarlett's aroma. It made him a bit relaxed, and joyful. "Yeah, this really happened 😎" But he could also smell and slightly feel a tiny droplet of...
...saliva? Yes, saliva on his robe. 
She really did sleep deeply, it seems...

After a long, long hour, Zachary went out of the tent. All of the others were already out in the sunlight, but he went the other direction to take a manly, 50 second piss (😎😎hell yeah😎😎). He slowly walked back to the others, still thinking about last night's shenanigans in the tent, when he noticed Tia smiling at him. 
He didn't really understand, but perhaps he didn't need to.
The team were busy with examining a mint-smelling, strange sponge. As he got close, Gaylord said the following:
- So, Zachary and Scarlett, why were you sleeping together so tightly last night?

Zachary&Scarlett: 😳😳
