Now that Lyn was out on the field of battle, you would continue to give her instructions while still tied to her earring, since she wasn’t accustomed to battle, even though she was highly skilled with swords...

You and Lyn examine the field, and realize that none of the bandits were near each other, and that there were only two of them. Because of that, you say “Lyn, you should attack the bandit closest to your hut! After that, you should go after the one standing by that other hut, because he looks like the leader to me. Does that make sense?”

Lyn nods; causing you to be flung about as you were still tied to one of her earrings, so she apologizes for her action and says “Oh no! Are you okay?” You nod, so Lyn says “All you said makes sense to me! I’ll keep us safe now!”

Following that, Lyn advances, starting with the bandit closest to her. She effortlessly dodges his axe, and cuts him down, while you struggle to keep your eyes open due to the wind force. And after that, she looks toward the apparent bandit boss, who readies himself with his axe. Once Lyn reaches that bandit, he laughs and says “Who do you think you are? You think you can stand up to Batta the Beast?”

Unsurprisingly, Lyn did think that she could stand up to Batta the Beast, as she begins to move at a blindingly fast pace, while delivering a series of quick slashes, before appearing where she started as she slid her blade back into its cover. You felt like the world was spinning, as you could barely comprehend Lyn’s movements. But as you were still dizzy, Batta the Beast began to stammer, saying “What? How... How did you—“ Before he could finish, he collapsed on the ground, leaving Lyn victorious.

Now that the battle was over, Lyn brings you back to her hut, this time carefully carrying you so you wouldn’t get swung about while attached to her earring...

Once you both calm down from experiencing your first battle, Lyn says “You were such a big help, Mark! I really appreciate you guiding me!”

You smile and nod, before saying “It’s the least I can do, after all you’ve done to help me out. And your swordsmanship is incredible, Lyn!”

Lyn blushes, as she says “I just trained everyday... I had to be useful to the tribe somehow...”

She starts to look down sadly, so Mark clears his throat, and says “About us traveling together. If you really want to help me, I won’t deny your kindness, but shouldn’t you let your family know first?”

Hearing this, Lyn grows silent for a few seconds, before saying “Oh... No, I can’t. You see, bandits attacked our settlement about six months ago, and my parents died while protecting me. And the rest of the Lorca tribe members just went their separate ways, because they couldn’t trust me to lead them, since I’m only 18 years old...” She starts to tear up, making you realize that Lyn experienced some heavy hardships during the course of this year.

After all of this, you rub your hand into one of her much larger fingers, in an attempt to comfort her. She notices this, and smiles while wiping away her tears with her free hand, as you say “Your parents sound like wonderful people. And if you want to see the world, I’d gladly welcome you to join me on my journey. Truth be told, I wouldn’t be able to do it on my own anyway...”

Hearing this, Lyn takes a deep breath before widely smiling, and saying “Then it’s decided! I’ll take you wherever you need to go. And I won’t cry anymore!”

You smile at Lyn’s determination, so you nod, causing her to place you on a table while she packs a few things and supplies for the journey. She makes sure to bring a few healing vulneraries and a spare weapon. And once she was ready, she steps out of her hut, with you safely in her palm...

But once Lyn steps back outside into the open air, a gust of wind causes you to fall over on her palm, worrying her. And once she helps you stand back up, she says “You know Mark; it might not be safe for you to just stay on my palm. And my pack has too much in it for you to stay there either...”

You nod, and say “Do you have any ideas? The winds along the plains won’t get any weaker as we travel.”

Lyn begins to think about a solution, and eventually she gets an idea, so she says “I think I know where I can keep you, Mark!” You listen intently, as Lyn continues, saying “My plains garb is fairly snug, so why don’t I just place you in them?”

You nod a few times, until you actually process what Lyn meant, causing you to look up at her in shock, as you say “I can’t do that!”

Lyn just smiles, and says “Well, thanks to me you almost spent the day in my boot, so you deserve a nicer place to stay. And if you weren’t here, I’m not sure if I would have been able to defeat those bandits. I promise you’ll be safe...”

Honestly, you weren’t worried about safety, but Lyn seemed intent on doing this. And she was quite a beautiful woman, and you could also admit that this could make the journey a lot more enjoyable. As you weighed your options, Lyn stared at you with an almost puppy dog expression, so you relent and say “If you’re okay with me riding in your clothing, then I won’t object. And don’t feel upset about before. I doubt that there are many cases of people shrinking in size, so I am just happy that we’re traveling as equals.”

Hearing this, Lyn happily grins at you, and says “I’ll make sure you’re nicely secure, Mark!” And after that, Lyn pulls back the clothing near her neck, and slowly lowers you until you were between her breasts, causing you to be quickly sandwiched against them. As you struggle to keep yourself properly oriented, Lyn begins to giggle, intensely shaking you due to the travelling vibrations. It was also challenging because Lyn’s boobs were both slick with sweat as well as incredibly soft, which made getting a good grip difficult.

But Lyn reaches in, and rotates you until you could at least partially see out through her clothing, where her breasts would keep you relatively in place. And once that was finished, she rebuttons the top part of her clothing, before saying “Okay! Time to start the adventure!” Lyn walks in an excited and animated way, obviously looking forward to seeing the world, but you were just glad to finally be making progress with your mission again.

Luckily, Lyn’s garb was as tight as she claimed, which prevented her breasts from moving much, which gave you a fairly smooth ride. Eventually, you nod off, as you were fairly drained from both getting Lyn’s attention and advising her through her first battle. Lyn notices this and smiles, deciding to take in the sighs as she walked, hoping that you’d get a bit of rest.

An hour later...

Suddenly, Lyn’s finger begins to poke you, gently waking you up, causing you to loudly yawn. And then, she carefully lifts you free, and looks at you happily, as she says “Did you rest well?” You nod, so she continues, saying “I wanted to let you sleep longer, but we’re about to pass Bulgar, where an ancient Sacaen temple rests. I thought you might want to get to see it...”

Hearing this, your eyes light up, as you say “That sounds amazing! There’s no telling what I could learn from visiting the temple here. Thank you Lyn!!”

Lyn lightly blushes, and says “We’re travelling partners now, so of course I’d help you! And I’ve never met many outsiders who were interested in our culture...”

You nod, and say “I’m a lover of history! So of course this is exciting for me.”

Following this, Lyn tucks you back between her breasts, allowing you to more easily see the outside, as she enters the temple. But when she enters, she sees an elderly temple priest and a gruff looking mercenary.

As she walks closer, the elderly priest weakly says “To use this blade in combat is of the greatest sacrilege! I shall not give up the Mani Katti...”

The mercenary scoffs and pushes the elderly priest aside, while saying “Sacrilege? I’m Glass! The gods fear my name! My swordplay is peerless! And if I want this sword, then I shall claim it. Stay out of my way!”

Hearing this, Lyn runs forward while drawing her blade, causing you to be smacked about by her massive and sweaty breasts. And once she gets close enough, she says “I shall not let you treat this elder so carelessly. If your swordplay is as great as you claim, then I’ll challenge you!”

Glass merely laughs, and says “Should I, Glass, fear a little girl? I’ll cut you down, and take the blade that belongs to one as mighty as I!”

Hearing this, Lyn prepares herself, while whispering “I’m sorry Mark, but I’ll try to make things as smooth for you as I can...”

You shake your head and yell up, saying “Don’t worry about me! I’ll be okay in here. You need to focus on that guy, because he’ll be much more of a challenge, since he also uses swords!”

Lyn nods, before charging forward, barely dodging Glass’ first strike. Luckily, Lyn swings her sword as she dodges, slicing Glass right against his chest, causing him to stumble back. And while he was momentarily stunned, Lyn advances to finish him off, moving at an incredible speed. You realize that she was doing the same thing she did against Batta, as she suddenly attacked again, before swiftly stepping away. This was difficult for you, since you were still between her breasts, which flopped about as she dashed for that final blow.

As Lyn sheathes her blade, Glass falls to the ground, as the priest approaches and says “Thank you so much, young one. Are you on a journey...?”

Lyn nods, and says “Yes! I wanted to visit the temple before continuing, but then I heard all of this. Are you alright?”

The priest nods, and says “You are a brave and kind woman. Do you wish to pray at the Mani Katti before leaving?”

Lyn nods in response, and touches the blade while silent in prayer, giving you a fascinating glimpse into Sacaen religious customs. But as Lyn prayed, the sword started to shine, causing the priest to step back in shock. Lyn quickly jumps back as well, as you watch with complete fascination, while the priest says “I haven’t seen a reaction like that in all of my life. Young lady, would you mind attempting to unsheathe the blade?”

Hearing this, Lyn picks up the weapon and unsheathes it, having little trouble at all, causing the priest to say “My dear, I believe that the Mani Katti has chosen you as its wielder. Please bring it with you on your journey, as thanks for saving this temple, at the very least.”

Lyn looks at the blade, as she feels an odd sense of comfort while holding it, so she nods and says “Okay. Thank you very much sir! I’ll wield this blade with the honor of Sacae!”

The priest smiles, as Lyn walks off, while you try to wrap your head around all of this. While Lyn continues the journey, you ask her many questions surrounding the Mani Katti and her religious customs. Lyn answers your questions as best as she can, happy to help you out in your research, as it was a nice way to pass the time.

And eventually, you approach a small village, but neither of you notice a young Pegasus knight crashing down in your direction...
