The Story of Hanna/Chapter I - Road to Eletria
You wake up early, still in the arms of shirtless Leon, to the buzzing sound emanating from outside the cave. 'Monsters', you realize. Giant insects. What kind, you wonder? You don't want to find out alone, so you shake Leon's shoulders. He wakes up instantly and before he can even ask you what's wrong, he realizes that the enemy is nearby. He picks up his pants and weapons. He doesn't need anything else. First bug invades your space, and Leon assaults it, slicing it clean in half. It is a giant wasp, and not giant by conventional standards. Its body is almost meter long from its spike to head, and its wingspan is even longer. There's even more of them. You can still hear sounds from outside. He looks at you without saying a word, and you both nod to each other. Still naked, you crawl to your feet, and follow him closely, as he slowly moves out of the cave. With your reinforcement and boosting spells at his assistance, he eliminates every single one of the wasps.
These enemies weren't like wolves you encountered yesterday. These were an example of different kind of sinister. They would've probably killed you, but not on purpose. Rather, they would kill you because your body wouldn't take what they had in store for you anymore. They're not smart enough to feed you or take care of you in any other way either. Only thing they know is to lay eggs inside a female when they smell one. Giant forest wasps are like that. They lay their eggs inside their victims and force them to give birth up to a dozen generations of wasps, after the host usually dies, if she's not found and saved. They don't usually attack young children, and only attack teenagers and adults, but since you are fertile, you're a suitable target for them. You don't have the biological shield against most monsters that other kids have. It's something you often curse, mostly because you hate the fact that you can get pregnant.
On a side note, you've heard that giant wasp eggs are a huge delicacy and taste amazing even with only a slight smell of wood from a campfire as a seasoning. It's too bad harvesting these eggs would require you to use your vagina.
As you are dressing up, you realize something. You don't have contraceptives with you since you didn't have time to take some from home with you. You look at Leon, who is packing stuff, with a worried smile on your face. "Leon…?"
"Yes?"
"Hanna doesn't have a morning-after potion with her…"
"So…" Leon realizes this. He probably didn't even think that it is possible for you to get pregnant. He laid his seed deep into your womb. Left untreated, you're bound to get pregnant. "Well, we can get medicine when we get to Eletria."
You cross your arms. "It's a dangerous week."
"S-stop making me worried… I'm not ready to get a child…"
"Neither is Hanna."
"Well, let's eat something and move out quickly."
…
Since you two haven't eaten since last evening when you left, you both are quite hungry. You also need energy to get through a long walk to Eletria. Food is limited, water is not. Your camp is next to a clean spring, after all. After you leave with Leon, you don't face any more adversities. You get out of forest and re-enter a paved road with only thirty minutes of walking ahead of you. Now that you manage to relax, you are able to discuss both your powers and therefore learn more about each other.
Eletria is the most important costal city in the northern seas, especially now that Nova Albion has fallen, and is the second largest city in the kingdom of Gallia overall. It's an autonomous city state despite falling under Gallia's crown, and therefore has lot of laws unique to them present. There are also a lot of Gallian laws and market regulations that aren't followed in Eletria, which is famous for its laissez-faire attitude. You can get anything the money can buy there, including things you can't get anywhere else. Sure, slavery is legal all over Gallia, but in Eletria, it's pushed to overdrive. And it's not just slaves either. Gambling, illegal goods in black markets, monsters for sale, anything at all, you ask for it, they have it. Politicians and ministers don't seem to care either, since they're in the scheme more often than they are not. Corruption is a big problem in the city and it's a huge worry for you as well. All it takes is one corrupt guard to detain you on shaky grounds, realize that Leon is not your legal owner, and then take you into custody.
"Are you sure Hanna is going to be fine…?"
"Well, what choice do we have? This is the only official way to enter the city."
You can't help but to worry and it's written all over your face.
"Don't worry, Chad prepared me a permit for you when he sent me to fetch you."
"But what if it's not enough?" you ask. "What if they ask questions?"
"They never ask questions. They're so apathetic when it comes to their jobs that they probably won't even read the permit."
Then, you get to the city gates. There is no line before you. Leon presents his adventurers license to city guard, and then he shows a permit to him, which presumably holds some information about you and your status as a slave. Guard nods, and Leon walks in, with you walking not far behind. You can see the guard look at you. It is a surprised face. Why is he making that face? It almost looks as if he recognizes you. Why? You don't remember this man being your customer, ever. Regardless, he seems highly suspicious of you, which worries you. Then, you realize that Leon is already quite a few steps ahead.
- Smile at the guard before you walk up to Leon. ((DISCLAIMER: This route has been cancelled in its entirety. I have too many ideas for where this story could branch into and fear that it would just distract me from the story I want to tell here. I plan on using and recycling some of the ideas I've used here in another, completely independent story taking place in another universe so that those ideas won't go to waste.))
