"HA!" Kara yelled as her claws hit Stacy's wooden sword. Kara quickly followed up with another strike which Stacy easily blocked.
Stacy followed simple movements stopping Kara's barrage of claws as she swiped at her. It was interesting to watch as Melony hung in the air with various toys inside her for punishment. She tried using her real name when I had officially changed it trying to regain her identity. It was against my orders, and now all the sailors could see her, and they were only allowed to touch her pussy with fingers. Anyone trying to enter her would be killed, so they kept calm.
It was the same for Kitty, who was now being treated like a cat by the rest of the crew as the ship moved into the ocean. The trip so far had been uneventful after Commander Sandra, and we were slowly making our way to the Demon Lands. Now Kitty was bathing in the sun by Freya's feet as they watched the woman having her clit played with by a sailor.
I was dripping with sweat as I took a momentary break from gathering energy and progressing at my glacial pace. It was a slow progression but Progression nonetheless. I watched and took in the scene and smiled. I grabbed a whip and walked up to Melony as she was being played with. The crappy leather flogger was in my hand, and I whipped her massive breasts. "What is your name?" I asked.
"M- Mistress, it is Melony. Please, Forgive me," Melony cried.
Her skin was tanning in the ocean sun, and I watched her, and I whipped her breasts more. The sailor stopped playing with her clit, probably on a break, and looked at me. I watched him, motioned for him to continue, and whipped her breasts again. "Enjoy a couple more hours, then you can come down and eat," I told her.
"T- Thank you, Mistress; I will endeavor to remember your Kindness!" Melony cried.
It was a simple movement, and I walked back to my position before where I was out of the way in case Sailors needed to work. Instead, I sat for a moment, my muscles thanking me for the rest. I had been working on my energy conversion for weeks now on the sea. It was a long trip, and soon we would be at the Capitol of the Demon Lands.
My mind wandered as I rested, thinking about the trip we had been going through. The Necromancer was not far away, watching the sun in their cloak. The necromancer soon got up and walked over to me, uncaring about the ocean around us.
"Hello, Mistress," The Necromancer said with their androgynous voice I couldn't quite pinpoint their gender with. "I believe we need to talk," She said.
"Well, I am sure we do," I said, leaning back, "Bring down the crawl around your head so we can speak face to face," I replied a moment later.
To my surprise, the hooded Necromancer brought down the hood a little, showing a blue face with brown hair, and I felt the mana inside her full of life. A very irregular necromancer when all before this, woman? Were filled with death energy. "I would like to talk about your proposal earlier when we first started this trip. I believe several of us are not leaderless, and I was the strongest of the Necromancers. Some are close to being B ranked but with the recent," The Necromancer paused and sighed, "Incident, our presence on the mainland will not be welcomed," They said.
"I agree," I told them, "So you want me to be your supply point?" I asked.
"I need someone that we have worked with, although, at this point, you are our best option. But," The Necromancer paused and looked into my eyes. "That can change to another supplier if you are taking too long or lack the stock that we need."
"Understood," I replied, looking over the Necromancer.
The Necromancer looked almost like a tomboyish woman, but the cloak surrounding their body robbed me of other shapes making sure I wasn't sure of their gender. Their soft features made me unsure, and their voice did the same. The hair was no giveaway, and I was not even sure of the person's race before me. Interesting.
"Personally, I do not have something in place, so I will look for a supplier at first, and I will have to set up a fence as well. It will not be easy for me, so I will look into things for you. Once we are on the ground, I will be able to tell you more and gather information for pirating. In the meantime, you might either have to help me with a small supply of goods. I will pay you back and your Compatriots but," I shrugged, "I am on the same boat as you with only slightly more resources to my name." I finished.
The Necromancer looked at me and smiled, "But you are resourceful. I saw your actions in the fight and how you killed at least two B rankers. We will also be out at sea if I follow this route, but unfortunately, I believe it is better than landing. My associates and I will need to do much to gather these pirates and the ships needed to start bringing in cargo. You will have time, Tiger-kin. I believe in your resourcefulness. You promise me a great return on our products, and in return, we will fund you initially while we set up a base in the ocean."
That was a heavy promise, and I was smiling. I could tell that this Necromancer was thinking of something. "What else do you need besides supplies and gold? I can tell you want more." I told them.
The Necromancer showed me a small smile, "Slaves and research products. We are Wizards at the end of the day, and we will need to learn. Necromancer's currency is not gold at the end of the day but knowledge. You will need to find a way to supply us with various textbooks if possible. I have no idea how the leader was bringing in such Textbooks back in the Empire. But, it was how the Necromancer Guild ran. Knowledge!" The Necromancer finished, and I nodded.
That made a lot of sense.
"Okay, I will do my best, but you will have to do your best as well. A give and take. You bring supplies and funding, maybe the good people that will make great slaves, and I will fence your goods and find a way to keep you in charge," I finished, and the Necromancer nodded.
"At first, my strength will be what makes me the leader, but I will eventually need those things as well." The Necromancer stood in a stoic way, "I need to rest, Mistress," The Necromancer said before walking away and ending the conversation.
I watched her go, but I was smiling, and I stood taking a position in the ocean sun. I started to move slowly, once again, moving my energy around in my body and gradually increasing my capacity.
A new sliver of happiness resided in me. Something new to enjoy in the Demon lands. I may have had to flee, but I had more resources than I ever had in the Kingdom of Arlin. I wonder what awaited me on the shore.
