Author's Chapter Notes:

 


 

 

Reminder:


- When a character speaks "like that",

it means that they are only understood by the Iloas and those who know their language.

 

 


 

 


 

 

Scarlet Gate: 00:30, Day 57 of the Nascent Solar Age.

 


For such an influential and important personality as Jeellel, escaping from the Corroded City was difficult on many levels... but Jeellel's scientific curiosity was enough motivation to prepare for the escape.


The Iloa of the desert changed forever when the "Holy spear" illuminated their minds and the "desert of the Alitians". The ancient believers of magic lost their motivation, and it was replaced by interest in science and technology.

The Alitian artifacts were simply impressive, too attractive to be wasting time with spells and symbols. The first steps as a species were the reverse technology, and little by little they went from being able to only dismantle the artifacts to the current point, where they were beginning to be able to replicate them.

And it only took 300 years!


Jeellel managed to enter the cordoned area of r03;r03;the Scarlet gate without causing any fuss, through the gaps between the fences. The Iloa of the other tribes always forget the small, agile and flexible that is the tribe of the desert!

"If Flynn hasnt had any problems, he and his team should be here... more guards? Amra sure wants to keep the normal Iloa away from the portal!"
Jeellel hated having to act against her own people ... but in the name of science, she would not hesitate to do so.

The "Oblivion Boots" were an artifact reserved mainly to the heads of each expedition of the desert, due to the enormous possibilities to perform "evil" or "dubious morality" acts that they granted.

 Once the boots were placed on the feet of the individual, the dial of the right boot allowed to muffle the noise as much as the wearer needed, while the left dial allowed to enhance the force of the impacts of the boots.

How did they do it? Nobody had a clue! But that never detoured the desert tribe from using the artifacts.

Jeellel walked in total silence until she reached the guards of the forest tribe, and with two accurate kicks, left them unconscious on the ground. "Thank God they dont have guards of the sea!"


And while Jeellel said this, Flynn, followed by 5 huuuuges girls crossed the Scarlet Gate.

Flynn took out one of the dictionaries that Galle had sold to them after the first meeting, looking quickly at him and addressing Jeellel. "Jeellel, cheer up a lot, you be here."


Flynn's Ilen was totally horrible, at the level of a small child... but considering that it had only been two days to learn it, it was impressive.

"Flynn! You have to improve your pronunciation, but nothing bad! You have brought me my dictionary? I want to go studying your language!"


Flynn quickly looked through the dictionary, translating everything Jeellel had told him.Iloa thought about repeating it more slowly, thinking that it was impossible that Flynn could retain the entire message in an unknown language

...But impossible it was just a lie to Flynn.

"Of course, here you have it" With a much more fluid Ilen, Flynn took out a small children's dictionary from his tunic. "It's the edition used by the children of my planet, so I think you can understand it more or less... Just in case... I've had Hannah enslaved all day yesterday translating what each word means in your language"


"But... how could you..."


Flynn really enjoyed these moments, and Jeellel's expression was certainly fun. "Never doubt Flynn Sol, not even for a moment"

 

Jeellel bit her lip, showing a small smile. "There is no doubt... that you are a human certainly interesting, Flynn Sol" But although Flynn filled all his attention, the 5 girls behind did not seem to have very expensive to be alienated from the scene. "Can you introduce me to your team?"


Flynn pointed only to his daughter, ignoring the presence of all the others. "She is Valeria, my daughter and boss of GUN... about the rest... you can ignore them, I havent bothered to learn their names"


Jeellel approached Valeria, offering her hand to the much taller vampire. Flicking through the human dictionary and Hannah's notes, Jeellel quickly found the words she was looking for. "Valeria, nice to meet you, my name is Jeellel, supreme archeologist and leader of the Iloa tribe of the desert"


"Not bad... my name is Valeria, as I think dad has already told you" Valeria forgot all the jokes she had prepared on second contact, looking with a certain grudge towards Jeellel.


"Valeria, be more kind! She has offered to guide us to Phoenix even though she is a very busy person!" And Flynn's scolding did not fix things. He and Jeellel marched forward, speaking in the language of the "Iloa."

 

"Should we have an eye on her, master Valeria?" Saki asked, watching as Flynn seemed to apologize in that strange language.

 

"Not for now... but I dont like her attitude to my father" Valeria bit her tongue with her fang, letting the blood fill her mouth. "I will recognize an intruder when I see her..."


"And that Jeellel... stinks like an intruder from here" Glayze smirked as he surveyed the surroundings. "It doesnt look... so different from Earth, right?"


"When you think of a new world, expect blue mountains, crystal trees and red rivers, but this place could well be a terrestrial landscape." Edlyn began to walk, letting herself be guided by the humidity of the environment. "There must be a lake or a river nearby, I can feel fresh water in the surroundings"


"Girls, I'm not going to lie to you, this world doesnt start as good as I'd like... but for now, stick with the plan and let's prove to my father that "Dark Moon Heirs" is capable of anything!" Valeria ran to Flynn, followed by all except Tess.


The Dhampir stayed behind, looking at the Scarlet Gate for a few moments. "Time to check what is worth more, Valeria or the contract" Tess ran out reaching the rest, while leaving the complex for the place that had served as an entrance for Jeellel.

 

 


 

 

 

The Corroded City, vestibule of link portals:

01:00 at night.

 


Jeellel was the first to cross the portal, falling to the other side and quickly checking that the room remained closed to the public as when he left. But that would be too simple, of course.

The vestibule of portals was full of archaeologists, apprentices, ordinary workers and citizens, all trembling with fear.


"Jeellel! But where the hell did you get yourself?" Vasell, Jeelllel's little sister, seemed to have the strongest men and women in the sanctuary holding the door. "Those damn kobolds have come in a pack, knocking down the main doors taking advantage of the sandstorm! And Phoenix is r03;r03;here too, doing... what she normally does!"


"Oh ..." Jeellel could not swear vengeance against those damned half-grown mutts, and how convenient it was that Phoenix was here. "Dont fear, people! Your supreme archeology has gone to seek help, and not help from this world!"
Jeellel went through the portal again, only to return in 30 seconds with Flynn, her daughter and the four humans. "And here they are, brave human warriors thirsting for curiosity and kobold blood!"


Next, dozens of Iloa surrounded Flynn, Valeria and her family, watching them, judging them, and some even daring to touch them.

"You have brought human warriors?! Why?! They have no idea to fight against those scavengers!" Vasnah grabbed her hair, pulling and clenching her teeth so as not to murder her older sister right then and there.


"Calm, dwarf! Flynn and his daughter are expert kobolds hunters, there is overpopulation on Earth and if you do not fight against them before the age of five, you can be dead!" Jeellel put on her best smile, as she looked out the door as two kobolds nibbled at one of the curtains that covered the outer ring of the sanctuary.

 

 


 

 

Terredell'alba-dex:

 

Hello everyone, friends!

Fee here to serve and explain to you about the beasts that the Iloa must fight throughout Terre dell'alba!

Today we have to open the section with one of the worst and most common monsters in the Great Desert: The Kobold!


Kobold: These small humanoids of 4 feet of height, with certain resemblance to the terrestrial dogs dominate from "Red Badlands" to the "Enchanted Barrens".


His fur and dark skin, together with the skin bags that cover his body, allows them to store water, which previously they drink in the underground caves that serve as shelter for these beasts. Its teeth are sharp and curved, ready to tear even the most rotten and old meat without any kind of control.


The Kobolds travel in herds of up to 9 members, except when they organize to attack Iloans settlements that can gather up to a whopping 50 of them. This behavior, along with others such as using small sticks or bones from other animals as weapons, or leaving food and water for the weakest of the herd suggests that they have some basic intelligence.


Unfortunately, taming them seems impossible, and their rapidity to reproduce and the inability to identify the females of each herd makes it difficult to deal with their species.

 

 


 

 

Flynn walked directly to Jeellel and her sister, having previously heard the conversation between them despite all the noise of the Iloa. "Forgive me Jeellel, but when we can begin to exterminate those Kobolds? Nothing would make me happier than exterminate them here, too." Flynn faked a small smile, enough to reassure Jeellel's sister as if to scare Jeellel herself.

But then... a brilliant idea clicked on Flynn's head. "You know, my own daughter and her team love to kill kobolds much more than me! Why dont you leave them the job, while you tell me a little about how this city works?"


"How well you speak our language ... I thought humans had a completely different one!" Jeellel was quick enough to cover her little sister's mouth.

"Flynn is a special case, and when it comes to delegating work to other people... I totally agree!"


Flynn nodded, as he turned to his daughter. "Valeria, you and your heirs of the green moon are going to clean this place of monsters called kobolds, while I gather information before talking to Phoenix, understood?"


Valeria lunged forward, ready to grab her father's neck although he was able to stop her before. "Dark moon heirs! You know the name perfectly, you have a perfect memory!"


"Anyway, you'll realize how bad the name sounds! Now walk, that the home of these poor people will not clean themselves!" Valeria growled annoyed, while Flynn let go of her arm and spoke again with Jeellel.


"Girls... let's go" Valeria started to make her way through the crowd, leaving the lobby followed by her team.

 

 


 

 

Corroded City: Exterior ring.

 


Valeria and her team were walking down the huge outer corridor, still without any trace of those "Kobolds". The map that Jeellel had lent to them was written logically in their language, but more or less Valeria managed to orient herself appropriately.

"This place is beautiful! It seems made of sand and marble, it's as if we were on a stage of "The Arabian Nights!" Glayce commented while admiring the windows carved in the stones and the torches with fire crystals inside that illuminated the aisle.


"A desert... that Phoenix had to live in a desert..." Edlyn walked more and more slowly and with less strength, having to throw Tess water bottle over to avoid dehydration.


"Calm down, we should soon find what look like public toilets, we'll make a stop for you to get wet and recharge your bottles and water reserves" Valeria was still so focused on looking at the map, that Saki had to move it from side to side to prevent the vampire from falling to the ground.

 

The quintet detubed at the signal of Tess, who looked at the door in front of them with care. "Those must be the kobolds, two of them devouring the corpse of some poor wretch, how do we behave, boss?"


Valeria put the map in her pocket, poking at the door above Tess. "Those are the kobolds, I expected them to be bigger and more threatening! How can they be afraid of a kind of caveman-dog?" Valeria went through the door, entering the patio while preparing a Sol wave.

The kolbods turned quickly when they heard Valeria's footsteps, watching her and putting both of them on the defensive. "Hi, disgusting things! Dont take it personally, okay?" Valeria prepared to jump towards them...


When Saki managed to see that on top of the open roof of the courtyard, another kobold was waiting, carrying a kind of primitiba club made of several sticks and a stone that shone mysteriously. The Kobold leapt towards Valeria.
"Master Valeria!" Saki jump forward at full speed, colliding with Valeria and away from the path of the Kobold... but staying she below.


 The Kobold hit with all his strength in the skull of Saki, leaving her unconscious in the act and causing a wound with very bad aspect. Valeria had little reaction time, before the other two kobolds pulled out their victim's arms and wielded them like clubs.

The vampire, furious to see Saki unconscious, hit the head of one of the kobolds with a slash of air, decapitating it. The kobold with the mace jumped into Valeria, hitting her with the club in the back with all her might until a shot from Tess's gun shattered her head.


Valeria groaned in pain, as she gathered herself looking at the surviving kobold begin to run. Snapping his fingers, Glayce sent a wave of ice across the floor, freezing him instantly on impact."Ahhh... setting traps ?! They didnt seem so smart... to make things like this..."

 

Valeria stretched her back to crunch her, before running back to where Saki lay in Edlyn's arms. "Situation of Saki?!"


"The blow has been incredibly powerful... it's a miracle that she's breathing... we need to find a place with water to clean the wound before I start treating her!" Edlyn said, carefully checking Saki's skull.


Tess came back from the baths, wiping her hands with a small cloth towel. "Well, do not expect to find it here, the toilets are dry and the water supply cut in. Looking at the structure, I'm surprised they have pipes." Tess crouched in front of the kobold's mace, inspecting the shiny stone.


Valeria growled frustrated, while checking the map at full speed. "It's supposed that there's a big hall in the middle of the next section, with a lot of tables and... bookstores?... If it's a library, they'll have to have bathrooms, right?"


"It's our best chance for now... let's hurry, Saki can be in danger" Glayce charged with the cheshire on his back, running out the next stretch of the outer ring in front of them, followed by the other three.

 

 


 


Time was pressing, and every time there were more and more kobolds in the corridors.Valeria assumed that they had found the largest group in the pack, while she stepped next to Tess, killing every Kobold that stood in her way.

Behind them, Glayce ran with Saki dripping blood slowly but steadily, and even further back, Edlyn struggled to keep pace, each time suffering more and more from the lack of water.


The nereid was beginning to lose her strength to stay awake, but Saki's unconscious gaze forced her to keep going. Not only was she the hand of Valeria, but she was the family doctor... falling unconscious while a partner was suffering was not something Edlyn was willing to do.

But then, seeing that Glayze, Valeria and Tess stopped, Edlyn leaned against the wall to see a kobold much larger than the others.

That kobold seemed to wear a kind of worn and worn shirt tied around his neck, and a cane made of what appeared to be branches joined together with dried mud. The other Kobolds surrounded him as they seemed to sharpen their weapons.


"Great... the level boss! I dont have time for your nonsense, you pooches!" Valeria launched a gust of wind to the leading Kobold, ready to put an end to this at the moment.


"Heirs of the dark world?... the Master was right..." The kobold said between grunts, before hitting the ground with the stick and raising a sand barrier between it and the blast.


"Fuck me... has that kobold just spoken or am I beginning to hallucinate?!" Edlyn leaned against the wall with one hand, doubting her own vision and with reason.


"He hasnt only spoken... he has spoken in OUR language... this isnt something I expected, but I dont care... Valeria, they are in front of the library" Tess threw her cloak back, taking out both pistols and pointing to Chief Kobold.


"The Master wants to meet you, heirs of the dark world! Dont resist and accompany us, by hook or by crook!" The kobold chief pointed his staff at the group, giving the order for dozens of Kobold to be launched against them.


...it was like a massacre. Valeria alone couldnt with so many enemies at once, dodging and attacking as she watched as Edlyn and Glayze covered themselves behind a barrier of ice, unable to do anything else.

Tess dodged, jumped on them and fired their enchanted bullets, but the number of kobold didnt stop increasing, while their loaders didnt stop diminishing.


"Damn bastards!" Valeria gritted her teeth, trying to activate a Will card... but as always, it did not work. The vampire screamed in rage, as she launched herself at the leading kobold. "DEAD THE CAPTAIN, THE SOLDIERS WILL FLEE!"

 

"Dont fight against us! The Master needs to know you, to assimilate your strength! The dark world has been far beyond the reach of the Master, but now his heirs present themselves in front of him!" Chief Kobold blocked Valeria's attack with her staff, releasing a dark energy from him with enough power to throw the vampire against the wall.

"Succumb to the one Master, and reborn at his side! He liberates your authentic potential!"

 

Valeria tried to get up, when the sound of a broken glass caught her attention.To his right, Glayce's barrier had been broken, and dozens of Kobold threw themselves on the three of them hitting them with their maces. Tess also seemed unable to continue the fight, running out of a bullet and receiving a blow to her side.

The vampire gave no credit, and after rising against the wall, grabbed one of the nearby kobolds and stamped it on the ground. The kobold, instead of exploiting the skull as Valeria intended, exploded in hundreds of crystals, as if Valeria had broken a crystal figure.


"But... but what?" Valeria looked at the crystals on the floor, seeing herself reflected in them. "Mirrors?..." The vampire reacted too late, while the kobold boss hit her in the face with his cane.


"The Master can wait all that is necessary, because he has already won the war! Succumb to his presence, and join his will!" From the fragments of mirrors, hundreds of crystalline tentacles emerged, grabbing Valeria's leg and resisting all her blows.


The vampire hit with all her strength, crying of the pain that was being inflicted although it did not manage to make them yield a bit.

"NO NO NO! LOOSE... LOOSE!"

 

"The Master, eh? he has to be authentically powerful if he's really been able to teach reasoning to a dog like you!" A gigantic explosion of fire erupted from the library doors, destroying the kobolds and harming all the girls in the process.

Valeria could see between the flames, as of the 40 kobolds that were attacking them, there were only 8 cadavers, the rest exploding in mirror fragments. Chief Kobold fell to the ground, but without letting go of his staff, he threw an Eldritch bolt at the source of the explosion.


A feather of pure fire pierced the beam, hitting the kobold boss and instantly reducing it to ashes.


"Ufff... that's close, right Valeria?" A female figure of at least 7 feet made its way through the flames. Two wings of pure fire and a flaming tail of colors sprang from her body, being next to the yellow eyes the only thing that Valeria could distinguish between her agony.

"You can rest awhile, old friend, I take care of everything"


Valeria closed her eyes exhausted, without recognizing that person.

Chapter End Notes:

 


 

 

10,000 readings! I have no words to say how grateful I am with all of you!


When I started writing this story, I didnt know very well if someone wanted to bother reading it, because I didnt plan to write a typical story about giantesses or about someone's growth.

(Although I enjoy them very much!)

 
From the original script of the story, I have arrived more or less to this point fulfilling almost everything.


Here you can see some of the ideas that were left as forgotten:


- Sofia was originally the second biggest boss in history, destroying Dylan just before he launched the second message and confronting Hannah, the lioness completely drunk by the light of the moon.

 
- Jolbirth was going to die in each appearance after his resurrection, as usual Gag. In the end, everything was left in its equation at the hands of the unknown (I say this in case someone does not read it and does not want spoilers)

 
- Maria was really going to be the lunar priestess moved by her wife, who was really going to be Flynn's sister. In the end, change roles to create Eleanor and be able to have conflicts in the direction of Bahia 2.0.

 
- Hannah was going to be able to go back to 10 feet and grow again using the Will card, but it seemed to me that it gave more play if the story progressed at the same time that it made it up to Hannah.

 

 
In the end, all ideas that for lack of time, way of capturing them or others ended up being replaced by the story we have now!

Speaking of today's chapter, we started three important concepts about Terre dell'alba!:


- The monsters that attack the Iloa and now also the humans.


- The "relationship" between Flynn, Jeellel and Valeria.


- The appearance of Phoenix and the Master.


We will deepen more in them in the third part of the "Chapters from Bahia"!

Until tomorrow and again and with even more excitement, thanks for reading!
