Verwyva yawns,<span style="font-style: italic">hearing</span>Blue’s pleas, but not<span style="font-style: italic">listening</span>, so to speak. “Little elf... truth be told, I actually really like you, and so I would like to make you an offer to become closer to me than you could ever imagine.” A tiny, glowing yellow sphere appears in front of Blue. “Do you see that? That is a piece of Ersiab, the yellow slime creature from the shop. Eat it, and it will neutralize the reforming drug that flows through your veins, allowing you to become part of my magnificent body. You will truly become one with your mistress, forever.” The marble-sized sphere inches closer to Blue. “Or you can simply ignore it, and in time, you’ll return to the store.” The dragoness yawns once more, lowering her head to the floor and closing her eyes. “The choice is yours.” she says, drifting off to sleep.
