Ariel, the one behind Rhaëlya's screen, saw everything. And as an emergency decided to put Crypt in a deep sleep. Unfortunately, as Crypt lost balance and fell forward due to the sudden dizziness, the woman in his arms also rolled out of his embrace.
He couldn't do anything as his consciousness faded away.
That's when the small Jellyfish came to the rescue. She couldn't care less about the snakeman, she only cared about her host. She quickly caught her with her abilities before teleporting themselves to the other side.
The system headquarters where Ariel was waiting for them.
A young man, with a refined appearance, was sitting on a doctor's chair while silently waiting for the little jellyfish and Rhaëlya.
His long, pale pink hair was tied in a high ponytail while he struggled to put up his already too long bangs. His ruby like eyes stained with excitement.
It was rare to ever touch a host, even less bring one to his office or heck, even seeing one in person.
But this one was an exception, he didn't know why but he still listened to the will of the Gods. They wanted him to care for his current host as if she was the daughter of the skies.
And maybe she was. But he isn't allowed to make such assumptions without the Heavens' approval or knowledge.
Still-
*Fwoosh*
'Ah, they're here.'
"Ariel!! Quickly!!" The jellyfish exclaimed while putting the unconscious Rhaëlya on the med bed.
The young man was now sitting above his host. After the jellyfish was now a young woman, she looked, well, not human at all. Unlike the young doctor.
Her hair was flowing in chunks of translucent matter tainted with a pale blue and fading into light purple. With it some fine threads like her tentacles in her jellyfish form. She was wearing clothes made of soft material that magically appear on her when she transforms. Her eyes are whited out completely while her pale eyelashes give her an angelic look. Now with a worried expression on her face she looked like a fallen angel. Even Ariel had difficulties avoiding staring at her.
So the young man focused on his host's vitals. He checked them with spirit technology.
After looking at the results he sighed a sigh of relief.
"It looks like nothing too bad. Her body is still in the adjusting phase." He calmly explained.
"Is that all?? Are you sure??" The young woman asked him, her voice flowing out with a worried undertone.
Ariel wanted to reassure her again when he felt his host coming back from teh dreamland. He signaled to the jellywoman with his eyes and she understood in a second.
The next second they were back where they left the snakeman and Rhaëlya finally came back. Crypt was already conscious waiting for her. He couldn't explain why but he felt that she never moved from this place, even if he couldn't see or smell her. It's as if she disappeared out of thin air.
Still, when he felt her presence right behind him, he couldn't explain why, but he didn't care what had happened. As long as she was safe, and as long as she came back to him.
"Bloom!" He shouted while slithering towards her. Rhaëlya was now standing on two feet, not knowing what had happened but feeling weirdly rested.
She decided that she'll ask her system what happened later but suddenly the screen appeared in front of her, playing the recording of what happened. Unfortunately it didn't show who excalty were the people in it beside her or what they talked about but the screen told her that the small jellyfish took her to him to check on her.
She decided to not completely trust them but right now she didn't have the time to interrogate them further.
"Can we please leave now?" Rhaëlya said while pushing Crypt away. They were still in the middle of the forest and she was starting to get antsy.
"Sure." He answered back while still intently watching her.

A few hours later they arrived at a beast village. One of the few biggest villages where multiple beastmen resided. At the entrance, there were four three to five level beastmen. They were massive.
"They're bears." Crypt told her after seeing her look at those beastmen curiously. Although he didn't truly like the fact that she was looking at other beastmen like that, he had a feeling that if he were to tell her that then she'll get upset again. What's more, he didn't smell anything other than curiosity from her.
The beastmen at the entrance of the village gasped when seeing them. Then they were completely captivated by the beauty of the female in the snakeman's hands. They silently moved aside for them to enter acter Crypt paid three medium sized yellow gems. Rhaëlya didn't know how valuable those were in modern money—
[Equivalent of $323,93 • 300€ • 463,23$CA]
The screen once again appeared in front of her. She couldn't even be bothered to care about it anymore.
But three hundred euros?? That was expensive! All of that just to enter!
Suddenly her expression darkened.
"What's wrong?" Crypt asked her worriedly. Is she upset that I didn't ask her first?
"Nothing." She replied with a sweet smile on her face. She already troubled him enough, she didn't want to trouble him further.
As they walked through the village, many beastmen were looking at Rhaëlya with mesmerized eyes. Even the mated males or the pregnant ones.
Wait. Pregnant males?
'Yes! Here males can get pregnant instead of the female! Of course, females can also get impregnated if they wish. But it's all up to the females to decide! The only reason why not all females decide on always having a pregnant male is because the baby growing in a male's stomach has 80% of being a male. Here females are favored thus those wishing for a female cub would rather get impregnated themselves!' The system quickly explained in her head.
Crypt stopped in front of a cave near the end of the village. The cave was one among many others around them. Though there were huts and also tree houses around them as well, the small mountain at the end of the village also had houses in it. Well, caves to be more exact.
Rhaëlya decided that it was better to ask for more details after Crypt fell asleep so that she could understand it all at once.
It absolutely isn't because she had difficulties understanding what was just said. Not at all!
