with the traits of a deer of some sort, blessed with bigger and browner eyes than Roarke could have imagined existed.
- Korri!
- Vaya!
They met in an embrace some distance ahead of Roarke, who found himself standing around awkwardly, waiting to be introduced.
- My sister, I’ve been worried for your safety. Plista said something had happened but assured us you were safe and on your way back home.
Her eyes landed on Roarke, who didn’t know how to react, not wanting to contract more broken ribs.
- So Ama was telling the truth, I almost didn’t believe it when he told us of what he had seen. You travel with together with a human.
- This is Roarke, he’s a friend. He helped me avoid the traitor’s lackeys and he... he actually saved my life.
Vaya disengaged herself from Korri and walked up to Roarke. Sensing his apprehension, she offered a smile that Roarke reckoned could melt the coldest of hearts. She was truly beautiful, sweet eyes that promised safety, as big fuzzy ears twitched, gently rocking entwined braids that flowed along side the main part of her hair. Roarke returned the smile whilst he felt his cheeks heat up.
- I understand Ama didn’t give you the warmest of greetings, please forgive his anger, he has his reasons. Please know that you will not receive any hostility from me, if Korri says she trusts you, I trust you. And if I understand, you should not only have my trust but also my gratitude for saving my sister, allowing her to return to us.
As she finished talking, she moved in, embracing him, all while giving him a peck on the cheek. Her, despite the differences, womanly body so close to his, voluptuous breasts squeezing against his torso along with the fragrant smell of her hair, lit a fire inside of him, making him harden. If she noticed, she gracefully let it go by unremarked and as their short embrace ended, she smiled once more.
- Come, you must be weary from travel, and we have to see to those injuries as well. But where are my manners, my name is Vaya, Kappa of reindeer.
She gently bowed her head.
-... And welcome Roarke, to Vanalf, and to the trees of Braida.

Whoa....
The sylvan village that the Kappas called Braida would have been, if built, the most amazing construction ever imagined. But that was the thing, it wasn’t built, it was grown. Roarke didn’t see a nail or sawed plank in sight as they moved through this wonder of nature. Trees and plants of varying size and sort worked in harmony, creating everything from what looked to be nests in the high canopies, with shapes looking down on their new guests. Underground settlements leading to unknown expanses and natural hot springs that seemed to call for Roarke’s aching body. To Roarke’s delight their party stopped by the path leading to the natural bathhouses.
- If you follow this path, you will find your way to the springs. The warm water will help soothe your tired muscles whilst Korri will come with me and deliver her report, after which you will join us once more.
As Korri and Vaya started moving away along the path on which they had come, Roarke hesitated in the intersection, feeling a pang of uncertainty.
- Get moving or you’ll sprout roots!
Korri’s caustic remark bounced back towards him, reaching his ears and stinging his pride.
- Blueeh!
Roarke’s childish retort missed its mark as the two Kappas had already vanished into the thick vegetation, leaving him and his outstretched tongue alone. Figuring he would be dead long ago if they had wanted him killed, Roarke shook off his worries and started down the path leading to the springs. His attention jumped from one amazement to the next, finding something new every other second. Seeing animals that must have been reindeer, judging by the color of their coats, coupled
