After two days of constant waiting, the convoy finally arrived. It was much bigger than the last with about a few hundred humanoid automatons working together. Leading the charge at the very front was Shamisha with a couple of her prodigy students–all of whom had never been outside the relatively safe wall of Elenaris.
Fidgety and afraid they stayed behind Shamisha, all the while, the work was mostly being done by the automatons.
The bunny girl sorceress tried to get them to hop around and direct things themselves, but it quickly became clear to her that they had near to no social skills to talk to anyone but hunks of iron. And so they walked behind her single file as she made her way over to Raven standing by the coliseum gates.
The slaves, the monsters, and the children had nearly all been loaded up in the carriage so there wasn't much left than for him to do but watch over the convoy pass.
"I believe you have two prisoners of Elenaris with you?" Stopping right in front of Raven, Shamisha leaned to the side, her small bunny tail curiously brushing the air.
Lifting her eyes to match hers, Raven kicked his back off the wall and spit the straw of grass from his mouth before speaking to her.
"I'll talk to her about it later," glancing up and down the coated bunny-girl, Raven couldn't help but notice more mechanical changes to her body. She already had a mechanical arm the last time they'd met, but now her cheeks had strange golden seams with a bead of blue lighting flashing by every other second. "What's up with your face?"
Squinting her eyes with her head turning to the side, Shamisha was confused about what he meant for a moment, but then she remembered the change to her own body. Running a finger across the golden seam for a few seconds, she let down her hands, rolled her eyes, and sighed at the overdone line of questioning.
With her husband dead and the only other man she trusted–Isaac, killed by Amedith, she wasn't exactly fitting into the group just yet even though loved her newfound freedom from the tyrant's clutches. What concerned her more were her people being shipped off to Elenaris, as Raven's promise to help her build a clan with his seed was far away in the distant future.
'She needs time, same as Arche...maybe Amelia too, she's not opened up as much as I expected her to to be honest.' Having three monster girls that haven't yet found their place in the party, Raven was seriously considering thinning out the group by leaving some of them behind in either Athenia or Elenaris.
'Regalia is already my source of information on Elenaris while I'm gone, so maybe in one of the coming cities? We'll see...'
The larger the group the more chances of a liability in battle, and given how none of the monster girls except Mino knew how to fight well, Raven wanted to train them a little before ever reaching for their help in battle. But then again came the question, should he thin the herd or continue as is? The answer obviously wasn't that simple.
'Maybe some time back in Athenia can help me sort it out?' Thinking back on it, Raven was also reminded of his other girls who had been left behind for a while. Aerin and her mother, Maria and the promised princess, as well as Tanya–who should've been really close to giving birth, and then finally Moxy.
Regalia as well as Diane and her family was also in the back of his mind, however, since he was going to be back in Elenaris before teleporting to Athenia, he knew that they wouldn't be neglected as much as the other already had because of his time away from Athenia.
"Maybe another visit to the Maze as well," fiddling back into his playboyish tendencies, plenty of other Athenian women were back on the platter. After all, what good would be his charm if not it wasn't used to help the desperate women too tired from their lackluster husbands and lovers?
His dark fae nature practically called for him to breed as many wombs as possible, and though the possibility was slim, it would spread his seed and spread more of his own kind through the cities.
But alas, that had to wait, as there was much that required his attention before thinking about blowing his load in aching pussies!
