But at long last he finally stopped, actually taking the time to make certain she was relatively comfortable among the roots of the tree as he retracted, letting the seed pour out of her body in a thick stream. With a gesture, the section where her things had been hidden opened, and he spoke again at last.<br/><br/>"There we are, done. You'll find that when you pull the princess, she'll come free of the tree now. As I told you, though, she's not...<em>unchanged.</em>Now, for finishing my side of the bargain."

"This will lead you to the Throne Room. Behind the throne is a secret passage which will take you out of the Citadel. And with that, thank you, little elf. With this, I can once more roam the entire Citadel. Maybe even find a way to return home. Goodbye, and take care of our little one."<br/><br/>With a last caress of Naael's stomach, the incubus turned and walked out of the room, heedless of any protests that Naael might make.
