Scaling The Realms

ticed that she was speaking to someone. This someone was wearing light armor which only covered their appendages and vital spots of their body. They also wore a mask covering their face, but what it didn cover was the persons beautiful golden locks which draped down to the middle of their back, giving away that Someone was a girl.

While Nico was analyzing the masked woman in front of him Gertrude noticed him approaching and called out.

”Nico, you didn tell me that you were coming as well. ” She said,

Gertrudes words let the masked girl know that Nico was there and she looked towards him, Nico could feel the womans scrutinizing but non-hostile gaze.

”Yeah, when you told me about it last night I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to broaden my horizons so I decided to join. ” He replied, tearing his gaze away from the masked woman.

”Sounds good to me, we are only waiting on the last three now. I need to go make sure everything is prepared for departure so I will be right back. ” When she finished speaking Gertrude proceeded to walk inside of the carriage, leaving Nico and the Masked Woman alone.

Nico then took the initiative to introduce himself to the woman.

”Hey, Im Nico, it seems we are going to be working together for a little while. ” He said, while extending his hand for a handshake.

”It seems we will, my names Ella, I look forward to our short time together. ” She said in a silky voice that could calm even the most out of control men, while accepting Nicos handshake.

When Ella shook Nicos hand they both noticed the calluses on each others hands, raising their respect for one another up a level.

As their hands departed they noticed another group of three heading their way. Two women with brown hair and one man with blonde hair. It was obvious to both Ella and Nico that the threes relationship wasn that simple because the two women had their arms linked through the mans arms.

”It seems we have some love birds joining us. ” Ella jokes.

”Haha…Yeah and a three piece at that. ” Replied Nico.

By the time the two of them were finished joking, the trio was in front of them and the man began introducing themselves.

”Hello, my name is Leon. My two beautiful women beside me are named Riley and Trish. Its a pleasure to meet you. ” When the man named Leon spoke, he put an emphasis on the word My while looking at Nico. Sadly the poor man didn realize the two girls beside him were already engrossed with Nicos features.

Nico had black hair with a tint of red in it and green eyes which didn match but that look of disharmony just added to his attraction. This added with his tall lean body which had just the perfect amount of muscle for it not to seem like too much or too little, made Nico have the looks to charm many women.

He looks…perfect… Thought both Riley and Trish.

Leon finished his introduction, making it Nico turn to introduce himself.

”My names Nico, its nice to meet you. ” He said as he first held his hand out to Leon, who was obviously the leader of their little group.

Leon responded with a wide smile but when he went to shake Nicos hand he grabbed it with all of his force. Of course, Nico didn even flinch at the pressure coming onto his hand, he might have been level 3 but his stats were close to a level 50s. Nico only responded by putting enough strength into his grip to let Leon know that he wasn hurting him.

Realizing that he wasn hurting him, Leon released Nicos hand and turned to Ella with glowing eyes.

She may be wearing a mask but there is no way for someone with a body hat nice to be ugly! He thought, holding out his hand to her.

But unlike the time Nico introduced himself, she refused to shake Leons hand, hell, she didn even say anything to him and only gave him a nod of acknowledgement.

Noticing that he wasn getting his way, Leon decided to move on from the introductions with a twitching brow.

”So, do you two know when we are leaving? ” He said.

Just as he said that, Gertrude exited the carriage and spoke.

”Alright everything is all set to go, let us be on our way. ”
