297 Chapter 297: Daki
“Haaaaaaaaa thanks Druakai, I owe you one.” Sam sighed and patted Druakai’s back before looking at his kids once again. “You hear that you little rascals, you get to stay here with the cubs, uncle Druakai will watch over you and feed you, but you’ll need to be back by dinner otherwise your mother will likely come and drag you back and you don’t want that.” He spoke sternly at the end, making sure his warning suck in. Tulip, Jasmine, and Ren all gulped and showed a little fear at his warning but quickly screamed out “yay” once they knew they could stay, returning back to their blissful and innocent states.
Meanwhile Ruby noticed the large, winged tiger that was silently standing behind Druakai, attempting to dodge her view as much as possible. A soft expression overcame Ruby’s face, and her eyes grew red. Gently picking off the fox cubs that were using her towering frame as a jungle gym she leapt over the fence landing in front of Kiba.
The two of them looked at one another, though Kiba turned away out of embarrassment. He was slightly bigger that his foster mother and was a fair deal stronger with room still to grow but that didn’t matter. He would always be that little cub that slept on her back and swiped at her tail it, didn’t matter how big or strong he became he would be nothing but a child before Ruby, his foster mother.
“Vrrmmm” Ruby chuffed before walking towards the big tiger, she then placed a paw on his head and patted, causing Kiba’s eyes to redden. She had forgiven him. Kiba then nestled up against Ruby, rubbing his head against her in affection. A touching moment, which no one interfered with.
“By the way Sam, my sister said she’s got something for you so you should probably swing by her place when you get a chance.” Not wanting to interrupt Kiba and Ruby, Druakai spoke softly to Sam.
“Hmmm something for me? I’ve not commissioned anything recently and probably wouldn’t need it anymore given my intention to retire. What is it?”
“Don’t know all she said was that it was a surprise and asked me to tell you next time I saw you.” Druakai shrugged his shoulders and shook his head as he knew nothing about the item. Sam tilted his head to the side and cupped his chin as his curiosity was piqued.
Druakai’s sister ran a weapons and armoury workshop on the first floor, and it was where he got his current great sword as well as several pieces of armour, a high quality place. Anything that Druakai’s sister made would be fine stuff, shame he wouldn’t need it anymore thanks to his retirement.
Sam then turned to Frost as he thought. He was supposed to show him the sights, so the first floor was certainly on the list given that it was a major business sector.
.....
“Alright, I’ll swing by now and introduce Frost, perhaps he’ll see something he’d like to buy.” Sam knew of Frost’s current equipment but was confident in the works made by Druakai’s sister.
Druakai turned to look at Frost, his face in particular before examining his entire frame. “Be careful that she doesn’t eat him up.” He spoke with all seriousness.
“That’ll be his problem to deal with, he’s a grown man after all hehehe.” Sam’s eyes turned upwards as though remembering a few things before shivering slightly.
“Alright then just felt it was my duty to give some warning.” Druakai shrugged and dusted his hands of the issue, claiming no part of what may transpire.
“You do realise that if she found out you said that she’d beat your ass half to death right?”
The massive muscle bound orc shivered and displayed a great a mount of fear in his eyes before glaring at Sam. “She’d only find out if some backstabber told her!” The Druakai who wouldn’t harm a fly clenched his massive green fist and waved it in front of Sam as a threat, but Sam was completely unaffected.
“I’m far more scared of her than I am of you.” He answered honestly causing Druakai no small amount of panic.
“Dude!”
“Hahahaha just kidding my lips are sealed brother.” Sam laughed and ended his teasing.
“Jerk!”
With a destination now set Frost and Sam prepared to leave the three kids in Druakai’s capable hands.
“I’ll have the contract materials ready for tomorrow. Since it’s for Kiba and the mayor’s orders I’ll use the highest quality materials so as to gain the best connection. We’ll go over some particulars then and there so until then have fun and relax, enjoy Kranor and all it has to offer.” Druakai being a member of management also subconsciously tried to promote Kranor as a good place to live. Not only would Frost’s strength be desirable for the enclave, if he had a home here he could visit Kiba.
The more Frost saw of Kranor and the more people he met here the more tempted he became to stay. It was far more to his liking than Furano and Northrend, but his home was back at the dungeon, and he needed to return. He’d spend the night in Kranor and leave with Kiba tomorrow, regardless of how tempting it may be to stay.
Sam and Frost walked back to the nearest lift and started to ascend to the top floor. Though they were tempted slightly to visit the fifth floor, the best action is really only present at night and the risk was too great for Sam given the spies planted by his wife and mother in law. They made their way straight to the first floor’s second town without any detours.
“Druakai’s sister has a workshop in the second town on the first floor, it’s where I got my great sword made as well as some of my armour. She provides high quality stuff and perhaps something might catch your eye. Druakai says she’d got a surprise for me so I thought I’d might introduce the two of you. We can visit some other shops nearby after so as to get a better outlook of how the floor is designed.” Sam remembered that Frost was keen to see how the enclave functions and its layout. He’d seen the farms as well as some of the government district so seeing how the major business sector operates should be helpful.
The first floor was far more populated than the others he’d seen and with a vast range of species. Kranor was not solely a sapient enclave, they had orcs, wolfmen and other intelligent monster species within its domain. Something that wasn’t seen in Northrend yet given the friendly atmosphere Frost could see here he couldn’t understand why. Of course, he understood that monsters were different from sapients, and the vast majority lacked much intelligence but then there were those like orcs, the wolfmen or even ice dwarves that could speak and understand common tongue. He wondered why there was such a division within the territories such as Northrend.
After walking for 20 minutes through crowded streets packed full of peddlers, tourists and merchants, Sam and Frost came cross a large store made of wood and stone called “Daki’s hammer and anvil” which currently had a closed sign on the door, much to the disappointment of many people passing by.
“Come on she’s probably just having lunch.” Sam ignored the closed sign, giving a quick knock on the door before letting himself in. He wasn’t a regular customer, so it was ok. Sam, Druakai, his sister and Lola had all known each other for years, they were the best of friends.
As Sam opened the door and let himself in an annoyed voice thundered throughout the store.
“DIDN’T YOU SEE THE SIGN WE’RE CLOSED!” It was woman’s voice that contained no small amount of charm, but it was deep and reverberated within their bodies. Sam rubbed his ear that was nearly blown apart by her roar.
“Is that anyway to treat an old friend Daki?” Sam shouted towards the backroom of the store where Daki likely was at this time of the day.
Bonk! In response Frost could hear clattering of metal items as someone quickly rushed out of the backroom to greet them.
“Sam! Perfect I’ve been waiting for you to get here!” From out of the back room appeared a female orc with a very tantalising figure. She had very large breasts even for her already large frame and her ass would make getting through regular doorways all but impossible. She had the most hourglass figure Frost had ever seen, even more than Maya’s. This frame however was not soft no it was muscular and toned. Daki though not as abnormal as her little brother was still quite the specimen in terms in size. Her arms were as wide as Frost’s legs, and she sported a very toned 8 pack on her abdomen. This seemed to add to her allure, all that muscle made her skin radiantly glow and appear smooth and supple as though she had oiled up. Her face though still that of an orc was very feminine, large luscious lips, dimples in the cheeks and large round eyes. Her tusks were on the small side and had clearly been shaven down to improve her look. Daki was an absolute bombshell even when wearing very little makeup. It was almost impossible to associate this charming woman with the word monster yet a monster she was in more ways than one.
