Netori: Stealing The Hero's Party!

Getting sucked off by Rose while the rest finished their last-minute preparations, Raven grabbed her by the hair and began forcing her dick all the way down. Stretching her throat, he could already feel his dick pulsing with the urge to flood her mouth and tummy. And without fail and wasting more time, he found himself submitting to the tight spaces inside her mouth.

Spraying his juices down her throat, and even leaving much of his in her mouth while pulling out, he took a step away and watched as she struggled to gulp it all down.

Once done, however, Rose cleaned up her lips and rose to her feet. With a smile, she guided Raven downstairs, and the duo distanced themselves from each other before anyone else could notice.

"Time to leave…" Said Amedith, done putting on his equipment.

Carrying their equipment on them as well, the rest of the party along with Raven made their way towards the exit. Following right behind with a bittersweet smile, Rose tried hiding her worries, yet they were clearly reflected in her eyes. Watching her son walk away, possibly never return, her eyes teared up by the time they took the first step outdoors.

Even so, quickly wiping the tears, she waved them by with a bittersweet smile. There was much both parties wanted to discuss, a lot to share, and even more to weep over. Thus, trimming the heavy part, they decided to part ways with a smile to remember each other by.

'Finally, on the dirt roads…' Thought Raven as he followed the rest of the crew from behind.

Things have been moving fast, not just for him, but everyone else. Leading them slightly drained, despite resting for a week straight. But the time for being lazy was over, for the goddess' first mission was right in their hands.

Reaching the corrupted forest separating Athenia and the next kingdom over, their party was meant to train over those monsters as they'd suddenly grown stronger, possibly due to a demon general's influence.

"Now that we're traveling, what do you guys think is over there?" Amedith asked, his eyes darting back and forth through everyone.

Feeling guilty from the events of last night, Mel couldn't force herself to speak, and Erika felt the same, although not to the same degree. Aria, on the other hand, left hanging over her reward never even heard what Ameidth had just said as she blindly kept following the group.

Realizing that nobody seemed interested in the discussion, Raven decided to be the one to speak up.

"Monsters obviously, but much stronger. Can't say by how much, but I doubt we'll be sweeping through them without leveling up our stats," curiously listening to Raven's input, Amedith didn't know what to make of it. On one hand, he was still pissed about losing his spot as the leader, while on the other, he knew Raven's assumption was most plausible.

Turning to the front, Amedith thought it over for a moment before giving his own input on the matter.

"Best we stick with our plan to scout the entrance while only a few make it inside at first," nodding back in response, everyone except the dreaming dark elf, agreed to Amedith's reminder.

For the rest of their path to the forest that led to their destination, everyone stayed in the company of their own mind, and it only changed when out in the distance, Raven noticed a carriage being drawn out of the forest with Linkle standing right beside it.

"What's she doing here?" He mumbled, picking up the pace to reach Linkle first.

"It's the carriage, the one I scared the bandits away from," Mino responded from the ruby bracelet, her voice carrying a bit more flair than in recent days.

"What kid?" Overhearing Mino as Raven passed her, Erika grabbed him by the arm. Forcing him to look at her, she looked into his eyes, frowning. "What is she talking about?"

"Nothing, I'll explain later!" Tactfully slipping his hand out of Erika's grasp, Raven quickly rushed over to the witch.

Noticing him and his party, Linkle wore her usual grumpy look–making her wrinkled body look even worse.

"Look who we have here, what are you guys doing here? I thought you left town," she asked, mimicking the coarse voice of a hag.

"Let me out!" Before Raven could even speak, Mino started making a ruckus inside the gemstone. "Let me out! Let me out!"

"What is she bitching about?" Linkle cursed with deep furrowed brows.

'Dammit…This might be a longer stop than I expected.' Letting Mino out of the ruby, Raven grabbed her the moment she was free, and from the very first thing she decided to do, it turned out to be the best course of choice.

"What do you know about this carriage?!" She screamed, trying to leap onto Linkle's body with enough force to crush her false appearance.

"Calm down," scoffing out loud, Linkle glanced across the confused faces of the rest of Raven's party before returning her gaze back to Raven. "Come with me to the city, I'll explain. Leave instantly after if you want, but I doubt any of us wanna stand here being feed for monsters."

Standing at the edge of the forest, nobody could refute Linkle's point. Although they could easily take care of rogue monsters from these woods, having a conversation while also fighting was obviously not the best idea.

"Besides…" Grabbing the reins to the horses dragging the carriage, the witch lightly tapped Raven's wrist as she passed him by. "I have something to give you, the ring, remember?"

Glancing over her shoulder with a weak smile, she flashed the teleportation ring on her ring finger.

"I managed to make one from the leftover material, it should help you get back to your party just as this one will help you get back to Athenia when you're gone," her explanation didn't make much sense to anyone other than Raven, but clearing that up had to come later.

Following the witch back into town, they decided to keep a low profile so they could sneak out without causing much ruckus as their presence back inside the city would only create unrest spreading rumors.
