Krysta and Hagata in the Primal Valley

Krysta was down on her luck finding for new jobs at the adventurer's guild. No one seemed to pair with her due to most of the jobs she take it ended up being a mess, most of the times because she forgot to bring essential items or read the basic details of a job before packing her stuff and marching forward to adventure.

She was the prime example of an adventurer who doesn't care about planning, strategies and basic survival tips: she just went with her golden armor and greatsword and hope everything was simple as in the stories she read back when she was little. But the lack of success was starting to get into her head.

The infamy made her take several solo jobs where she ended up being lost in the wilderness, having to survival off mold and hopes and dreams until someone found her and brought her back to the civilization. At least the times she was in the northern Labyrinth she met Asterios which could guide her out (frequently), but she couldn't relly on Asterios all the time! There wasn't many minotaurs outside of labyrinths and mountains: there was so many other places she wanted to adventure!

That's why she hired a Greenvalley mercenary to help her up her game! That's how she met Hagata.

Hagata was famous around town because of being a solo adventurer who sucessfully completed missions. People from all kinds of places followed her hoping to get trained by her or taken as apprentices, but rarely she accepted such desperate requests... that's why after Krysta failed four times to ask for her guidance, she made the very bad financial decision of taking a loan at the bank and hiring her by the exhorbitant prices a prime Greenvalley mercenary often requested.

Hagata was already a bit uneasy to train a grown-up woman just a few years younger than her, but her uneasiness was replaced by disgust when she realized that Krysta was one of the most incompetent adventurers she ever met. Preparations? Food suply? Sense of direction? Everything was second thought to her: the most important thing was "being motivated and having a sharp great sword!". It was as she was looking at a real life parody of what bards sang to bored princessess about how adventurers looked like.

She even wondered how she was able to survive far enough to get magical armor and some income to not be begging on the streets. Maybe she had rich parents? Probably not because of the bank loan... at that point, she was too afraid to ask.

That's why she dragged Krysta straight to the Primal Valley: a region flooded with several biomes of jungles, mountains and rivers where monsters of all kinds and sizes were hunted to both control their population and scavenge their hinds for materials.

As expected, Krysta didn't have problems in combat. She was a talented fighter if you pointed at the enemy and asked her to strike it until it dies. Maybe that's why she went so far despite being an useless adult in basic survival instincts.

Then, in the seventh day of their trip in the Primal Valley, Hagata conducted them inside the Draconian Crimsom Clan. Considered a faction of warriors inside the Primal Valley, Hagata used their services several times during her travels, being both a guest and a hired mercenary to them a few times in the past. She knew this time the shaman was around, and since he owned one for her, she could use that chance to do the "Draconina" initiation with Krysta to see if she could get a sharper mind after the draconians shared their knowdledge with them. She was curious herself about how that worked, anyways.

The shaman agreed, honoring the times Hagata lend them a hand in their territory wars. Hagata even reinforced how that was "important, since rarely the draconians allowed strangers to share their rituals". I guess those are the props of being a top tier mercenary, right?

So when Krysta and Hagata where instructed to be in a circle and take off everything, they were a bit confused. The draconian warriors surrounding them were anxious, both of the women could see a volume rising in their loincloths.

"Hey, Hagata. I believe they want to have sex with us". Krysta pointed as the shaman, a blue draconian, was chanting something in their native language. "How exactly they're going to make me smarter doing this?"

Hagata frowned. If she let Krysta know she never partaked in that ritual and had zero clue that "running a train" on them was their idea of enlightenment, her aprentice could ask her money back - and she already used that to invest in stocks. It seems like she just had to go along and keep the scam alive.

"Don't be insensitive, Krysta! That's a sacred ritual to make our heads blank, melting our thoughts on pleasure so we can fill it with wisdow". Hagata made her best professorial expression. "Besides... it's been months since I have been in the road and laid with someone. Doing it with a demihuman is a nice change of pace, don't you think?".

"Oh! Then is that 'kind' of ritual we are doing?" Krysta removed her armor more enthusiastically. She giggled, nostalgically. "I'm actually good at this. I mean... Asterios said I'm pretty good and there was that time with the goblingon tribe and the Bloodclaw werewolves... everytime I cross their territories they offer me a place to stay and say its part of their culture to share beds with their guests. For some reason, their females look at me with certain anger, though."

Suddenly Hagata was a bit worried. The Bloodclaws where wiped after the werewolf females traded their husbands for gnolls and the goblingon cave was burned to the ground in some kind of "dragon incident".

It can't be a coincidence. If Krysta had sex with those guys, could be possible she was bringing bad omens to the Draconian Crimsom Clan too? Maybe she was so cursed that anyone who shared a bed with her would share her bad luck as well and...

"The ritual is ready to start!" the Shaman grabbed Krysta, licking her body. She moaned like a professional.

The other draconian was reaching for Hagata, and while she embraced him, she thought.

"I think just for good measure, it's better I check those stocks I invested after we get back to town".

-------------------------

And Krysta and Hagata are sharing a scene together! ♥ It took me a while (I believe this one was made at the start of the month) to finish this scene, but finally its done! I added a bit of backstory of how Krysta is actually unlucky on top of being incompetent in basic survival situations (like reading a map, for example).

The "bad omen" thing happens only if she's in a place without proper guards against curse. If you hire a 9th level cleric with the "Hallow" spell and have sex with her inside it, you won't be affected by her bad luck and won't find a harrowing fate. Half of the reason Asterios isn't affected is the labyrinth he guards is already hallowed and the other half is his spell resistance, one of the worst mechanics 3.5 introduced (fight me on this).

It was a pretty fun scene to do and story to type! I wanted to add another scene, but by the amount of WIPs I currently have, that one will have to wait a little bit!

Hope you guys enjoy!
