“Wow,” I exclaimed, my eyes wide with wonder. “What is it?”

“It’s a mineral called gargoyle’s fire. A very rare and powerful mineral that gives us our strength and vitality.”

I licked the crystal again, savoring the burst of energy. I could run for miles, or lift a mountain.

“Can I take some with me?” I asked, my voice filled with excitement.

Veda laughed. “Of course. Take as much as you want. We have plenty.”

I filled my pockets with the glowing crystals, feeling a surge of gratitude towards Veda and the gargoyles for sharing their secrets with me.

As we left the chamber, I couldn’t help but feel like I was slowly becoming a part of this wonderful world, one crystal-licking ritual at a time.

Veda turned to me. “Now, it’s your turn with the hot springs bath. It will please Kuzar if you do this.”

Veda led me through a labyrinth of tunnels and chambers, the air thick with humidity and the sound of dripping water. We descended deeper and deeper into the earth until we reached a hidden chamber filled with hot springs. Steam rose from the water, creating a surreal atmosphere.

“This is it.” Veda's voice echoed slightly. “The hot springs. They’re a sacred place for us gargoyles. We come here to bathe and relax.”

I looked around, my eyes wide with wonder. The chamber was vast and dimly lit, with a natural pool in the center surrounded by smooth, worn rocks. An odd earthy scent filled the air, resembling the rapids in the stream near my parents' home after a rain, while the water in the natural pool was crystal clear and steaming hot.

“It’s beautiful,” I whispered, feeling a sense of awe.

Veda smiled. “Yes, it is. And it’s very good for you. The minerals in the water help to heal and rejuvenate the body.”

“Undress and sit in the pool. I’ll scrub your back.”

I hesitated for a moment, feeling self-conscious. I had never been naked in front of anyone other than my mother and Kuzar.

At Veda’s prompting, I obeyed and sat in the hot springs, the warm water enveloping me like a comforting embrace. The stress and tension of the past few days seemed to melt away as I sank deeper into the pool, the steam rising from the water creating a surreal and ethereal atmosphere.

Veda scrubbed my back, her strong, gentle hands moving in circular motions. I closed my eyes and let myself relax, enjoying the sensation of her touch. The water was the perfect temperature, not too hot and not too cold, and the minerals in the water soothed my skin, leaving it feeling smooth.

Peace and tranquility washed over. All the worries and uncertainties that plagued me since I came to this unfamiliar world seemed to fade away, replaced by a sense of calm and contentment.

After many minutes, Veda finished scrubbing my back. I stood up and stepped out of the pool, feeling refreshed and invigorated. Veda handed me a towel, and I dried myself off.

As we walked back to my new home, Kuzar met us at the entrance. When we entered, he smiled with approval. “You look beautiful."

I blushed and looked down at my feet. “Thank you,” I murmured.

We sat down at the table, and Veda served us a simple meal of roasted vegetables and fresh fruit. Kuzar ate in silence, but his eyes never left me. His gaze burned into my skin, and I fidgeted nervously.

After we finished eating, Kuzar stood and walked over to me. He took my hand and led me to our bedchamber. I followed him, my heart pounding in my chest.

He closed the door behind us and turned to face me. His eyes were dark and intense, and the heat of his body radiated towards me. He reached out and caressed my cheek, his touch gentle but firm.

“You’re just so beautiful.” His voice turned husky and low.

I didn’t know what to say, so I simply stared at him, my breath catching in my throat.

He leaned in and kissed me, his lips soft and warm against mine. I kissed him back, my body responding instinctively to his touch. His hands moved down my back, pulling me closer to him. His muscles rippled beneath my fingertips, and I shivered with desire.

He lifted me and carried me to the bed, laying me down gently. He climbed on top of me, his weight pressing me into the mattress. I closed my eyes and waited for him to take me.

His kiss deepened, and his tongue explored my mouth, tasting and teasing me. His hands moved over my body, caressing my breasts and thighs. I moaned softly, arching my back against him.

He entered me slowly and gently, and I gasped at the feeling of him filling me. His thrusts were slow and deliberate at first, then gradually increasing in speed and intensity. I wrapped my legs around him, pulling him closer.
