I closed my eyes for a moment, letting the memories of dinner with Lalabel and her companions slowly fade from my mind. Although the conversation and laughter had been comforting, my mind couldn't help but return to her, to Lalabel, the female who had awakened something in me that I had never felt before.
I settled into my bed of straw and furs, feeling the rough texture under my back. From that position, with my arms behind my head, I gazed up at the dark wooden ceiling. The rafters seemed to whisper ancient stories, while outside, the night spread in a blanket of mystery.
Lalabel... Her name echoed in my mind like a soft melody. She was an extraordinary female, brave and wise, with a beauty that transcended the physical. No other female in the village had captured my attention the way she had. It was as if she had been sculpted by God himself, with her purple hair evoking the scent of lavender flowers in a spring field.
I remembered the day I found myself in that cavern, lost and desperate. I had thought that no one would come looking for me, that I was doomed to die trapped. But then she appeared, her green eyes shining like precious gems in the dark. Her soft, gentle voice had been like a balm to my desperate soul, filling me with a warmth I had never known before.
From that moment on, her presence had occupied my thoughts day and night. I felt attracted to her in a way I could not explain, as if I was destined to be by her side.

The next day...
I knocked softly on the door and when Lalabel opened, I offered her a gift with a nervous smile.
—Hi, Lalabel! I thought you might enjoy these exotic fruits I found for you," I said, extending the basket to her.
Lalabel accepted the gift gratefully, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and appreciation.
—Wow, thank you so much, Liam. You're very thoughtful," she replied, a beaming smile lighting up her face.
After that first gesture, he continued to show my interest in Lalabel in various ways.

I began to patiently instruct Selene to enter a state of meditation so that she could concentrate on feeling her own conjugal mark on her partner's skin. After three attempts Selene managed to feel the approximate location of her mate, I asked Noir to go look for him, as he would be the quickest and most suitable.

Into the jungle...
He had transformed himself into an eagle in order to be able to travel long distances more quickly, and now he planned to go toward the edge of the forest, where the jungle stretched eastward in a blanket of mystery and danger.
As he flew in the direction of the forest boundary, where he met the jungle to the east, his thoughts were filled with doing all he could to help his companion achieve her goal.
As he neared his destination, Noir spotted a tiger in the bushes, sniffing and sniffing intently. He decided to descend and transform back into his human form. From a high branch, he watched the tiger warily, until he decided to reveal himself.
— "Is that you, Ryo?" asked Noir, turning his gaze to the imposing feline in front of him.
—"My mate is guarding your female. If you wish to return to her, follow me."
The tiger, whose name was Ryo, raised his head in surprise at the sound of Noir's voice. His golden eyes shone with a glint of recognition and gratitude, his expression enough to convey his understanding.
Now Noir and Ryo were traveling back to the Blue Feather village, to meet their respective companions.

One quiet afternoon, when the sun was beginning to decline over the horizon and the shadows were lengthening on the ground, Lalabel entered Selene's house. With a heart full of determination and hope, she decided to put one of her theories into practice, first Lalabel explained her idea to Selene, who, although skeptical at first, decided to trust her and give her plan a chance.
Sitting across from each other in the living room of the house, Lalabel placed her necklace, a delicate ornament with a sparkling gem in the center. With smooth, graceful movements, Lalabel began to sway the necklace back and forth, mesmerizing Selene with the steady, soothing rhythm.
Lalabel's voice, soft as a night breeze, filled the room as she led Selene into a state of deep relaxation.
You have used the skill: Voice of the soul.
With each word, Lalabel guided Selene into an altered state of consciousness, where Selene's mind became receptive to the suggestions Lalabel offered.
With skill and care, Lanabel began to address the underlying cause of Selene's biting habit, I began by exploring her childhood memories.
A new system message appears:
The requirements have been met, you have learned a new skill: Hypnotize.
Selene was in a state of tranquility she had never experienced before. As Lalabel continued the hypnosis process, something in Selene's mind unlocked and words flowed from her lips effortlessly, as if she was telling a story she had kept hidden for a long time.
— "My childhood was difficult," Selene began, her voice resonating with a mixture of sadness and resignation.
—"In my village, I was always considered an outcast child. My mother never liked me; she always looked down on me. Every time my mother saw me it only seemed to increase her rejection of me."
As she spoke, memories of her childhood surfaced in her mind, clear and sharp as if they had happened the day before. She remembered her mother's looks of disdain, the hurtful words she spoke to her, and the sense of loneliness that enveloped her even when she was surrounded by others.
—To defend myself against the abusive children in the village," Selene continued, —"I started to become more aggressive. I developed a kind of mask, a façade of bravery to hide the pain I felt inside. And when that wasn't enough, when I felt I couldn't take it anymore, I started to use my fangs. I started biting."
As she told her story, tears streaked down her cheeks and Selene felt a weight lift from her shoulders. Talking about her past, about the wounds she had carried for so long, was like releasing a weight she had been carrying with her all her life.
—"I think, in a way, biting became a way of defending myself," Selene concluded, her voice trembling with emotions she had barely acknowledged before. "
Lalabel continued with positive suggestion and reprogramming of mental patterns during this first hypnosis session. With each soothing and encouraging word that came from Lalabel's lips, Selene felt a sense of calm and serenity she had never experienced before.
With each positive suggestion, Selene felt stronger, more able to let go of the wounds of the past and look forward to a future full of possibilities. Lalabel's words echoed in her mind, taking deep root and slowly replacing the negative, destructive thoughts that had dominated her life for so long.

Slowly the hypnosis section was coming to an end, Selene felt as if she had emerged from a long sleep. She felt refreshed, ready to face the world with a new perspective and a renewed sense of self-esteem and self-confidence.
Lalabel gently helped her out of her hypnotic trance, making sure she felt comfortable and safe at all times. Selene slowly opened her eyes, meeting the warm, understanding gaze of her friend waiting for her on the other side.
— "How are you feeling?" asked Lalabel gently, placing a comforting hand on Selene's hands.
Selene took a deep breath of air and smiled, a genuine smile lighting up her face.

— "I feel amazing," she replied in a steady voice.
— "As if I could finally put all the pain and suffering of the past behind me and start over."
Lalabel nodded with a satisfied smile. - "I'm so proud of you, Selene," she said sincerely. - "You've taken a big step today."

After saying goodbye to Selene and leaving her house, I found neither of my husbands nearby, so I decided to walk home alone along one of the village's grassy paths, letting the fresh air and the gentle murmur of nature envelop me.
My thoughts kept turning to the hypnosis session with Selene; I was happy to have been able to help her overcome her problems, but I also felt emotionally drained by the intensity of the process.
Immersed in my thoughts, I suddenly ran into Liam, that handsome male in his early twenties with two stripes, who always got my heart beating a little faster. His charming smile and sparkling blue eyes made me smile involuntarily.
—"Hi, Lalabel!" greeted Liam enthusiastically, approaching me with a confident stride.
—"How did it go with Selene?"
—"Hi, Liam!" I replied, returning his smile.
—"It went really well with her, I started dealing with her problem."
Liam shook his head with a mischievous expression. —"Better now that I see you. I was actually looking for you." He pulled something out from behind his back and held out his hand to me with a hair clip made of tropical flowers. — "I thought this would look perfect on you."
My cheeks flared slightly at Liam's thoughtful gesture. I accepted the brooch gratefully, admiring the delicacy of the wood-carved flowers. —"It's beautiful! Thank you so much, Liam."
He smirked, his blue eyes sparkling with a mischievous twinkle. —"You're welcome, Lalabel. I just wanted to make you smile."
We stood there for a moment, enjoying each other's company and the quiet village atmosphere around us.
Finally, Liam broke the silence with a charming smile. —"Well, I guess I should let you get on with your thing. I'll see you for dinner later, okay?".
—Okay," I smiled enthusiastically, then followed enthusiastically into the house. After walking away from Liam and continuing to walk towards my house, I was met with the cozy warmth of my home. Upon entering, I was greeted by Yang, my third husband, who wrapped his strong arms around my waist and placed a soft kiss on my cheek. His comforting presence was so affectionate with me that it made me feel like I was on cloud nine.
— "Hi, Lala," Yang greeted with a gentle smile, her voice soft and soothing. —"How was your day?"
— "Hi, yang!" I replied happily, turning to return her hug. "My day was quite interesting, actually. I had a hypnosis session with Selene and then met Liam on the way back."
Yang's eyes sparkled with interest as she listened intently to my words. —"How was the session with Selene, did you manage to help her?"
I nodded with a smile, sharing with Yang the details of our session and how I had helped Selene overcome her problems. He listened attentively, showing genuine interest in my activities and concern for my well-being.
ain. The air filled with electricity and the atmosphere grew cooler as dark clouds gathered on the horizon.
—"I think it's going to rain soon," I commented, looking out the window at the threatening sky.
About ten minutes later...
Teru, my second husband, came home from his physical training. His breath was heaving from exertion and his face was lit up from the exercise.
— "Hi, Lala!" greeted Teru, energetically entering the house.
— "I just finished my workout and felt a storm coming on."
I nodded with a smile as I watched Teru leave the bow with the arrow case leaning against the wall, walk over to me and deposit a soft kiss on my cheek.
—We're just watching the clouds out the window for the rain that looks like it's coming," I replied warmly.
Just as Lala finished speaking, a deafening clap of thunder echoed across the sky, followed by a brilliant flash of lightning that briefly illuminated the room. The rain began to fall heavily, pounding the roof of our house with a steady rhythm.
— "Wow, that was pretty impressive!" exclaimed Teru, looking out the window in awe.
I suddenly remembered that my first husband, Noir, had been away from the village for several others ago. Worry came over me as I imagined Noir fighting the rain somewhere outside.
