Sera locked her gaze on Archer, who met her with a tender stare as tears cascaded down her face.

When he saw how upset she was he grabbed a hold of her and wrapped her in a comforting hug.

With a voice full of love, he spoke, "I apologize for the hardships you endured, Sera. But now, you are here, and I will never abandon you as your family did."

A smile graced her lips as Sera realized that she had finally discovered her boy, the one who would never forsake her.

The time they had spent together while she was in her dragon form held a cherished place in her heart, forming some of her most beloved memories.

They lay there, talking for a couple of hours until the sun rose, casting its radiant light through the tent windows.

As they rose to their feet, he cast Cleanse on both of them and in that moment, he realized that Sera stood before him completely naked.

His eyes fell upon her body, noticing her petite stature, standing two heads shorter than him. However, he had always held a special affection for the shorter girls, and a sense of joy washed over him.

She possessed a slender yet curvaceous figure, her dark brown skin blending harmoniously with her fiery red hair.

Her eyes, a mesmerizing ruby red, gazed at him with a mischievous expression before she asked him a question. "Do you like what you see, my husband?"

Archer nodded approvingly, his grin widening as he appraised her from head to toe. "Yes, Aylla, or should I say Seraphina? Either way, you are truly beautiful."

Sera tilted her head, a playful smile adorning her face as she replied, "I love Seraphina. I don't want my old name back."

Nodding in agreement, Archer was about to speak when Sera suddenly pounced on him, clinging to him like a baby monkey.

She playfully nibbled at his ear and neck, sending waves of pleasure coursing through his body.

After their playful exchange, Sera released her grip and glanced around the surroundings. Turning her hopeful expression towards Archer, she inquired, "Archer, do you have any clothes I can wear?"

He shook his head momentarily but then remembered the clothes he had discovered in the bandit hideout. Retrieving the crate, he handed it to Sera.

While she rummaged through the clothes, he felt a tremor in the bracelet on his wrist. To his surprise, the two girls materialized before him, their faces etched with worry.

Their attention shifted from Archer to a stunning red-headed girl who stood there, unclothed, sorting through the crate.

The two girls' heads snapped toward Archer, their eyes narrowing, and Ella started to interrogate him. "So while we were worrying about you in the domain you were here, having fun with a girl?"

Archer raised his arms in a gesture of innocence, preparing to explain who Sera was, but before he could, Ella focused her attention on him, poking his chest with a finger as she spoke.

"I've already told you that we don't mind if you have other girls, but you should of let us know beforehand."

While Ella was talking to Archer, Teuila observed the cheerful girl, who was happily going through a selection of clothes.

She took note of the girl's red hair, the two small horns adorning her head, and red scales running down her body.

Sera found a red dress that suited her well and a pair of sandals. Turning to Archer, she ignored Ella's conversation with him and asked as she finished getting ready, "How do I look, husband?"

The room fell silent as both girls turned their attention toward her. Sera couldn't help but wonder why they were staring at her like that.

A thought crossed her mind. 'Do they not recognize me?' She tilted her head, a hint of confusion etching across her face.

Teuila approached her, wearing a curious expression. As she drew closer, she couldn't help but notice Sera's captivating ruby-red eyes.

She stopped in her tracks, her eyes widening, and a big smile spread across her face as she spoke. "Is that you Sera?"

When Ella heard Teuila speak, a look of shock appeared on her face as she turned her gaze toward the smiling redhead.

Sera's smile grew even wider, and she nodded her head. "Yes, it's me."

Both girls rushed over to her, examining her from head to toe, quickly realizing that indeed, it was the fairy dragon.

Teuila turned to Ella with a grin. "I told you she had a humanoid form just like Archer."

The two girls turned to Archer, their curious expressions demanding an explanation. Teuila was the first to speak.

"Why was she calling you husband?"

Archer scratched his cheek, preparing to respond, but Sera beat him to it. "Well, I was really hurt, and he performed the rest of the dragon ritual, which bonded us together and restored my humanoid form."

The girls nodded their heads, accepting Sera's explanation. They weren't bothered by her appearance, as the two of them had already spent time together.

Ella, Teuila, and Sera stood side by side, their expressions brimming with excitement and curiosity.

The revelation of Sera's newfound humanoid form ignited a spark of wonder, and the trio shared a silent understanding.

Ella stepped forward, her voice firm yet filled with anticipation. "Archer, you can continue on to Nekhen. But we think it's important for Sera to spend some time with us, we want to get to know her better now that she's got her humanoid form."

Archer looked at Sera, a mixture of pride and concern in his eyes. "Are you sure, Sera? It's up to you. If you'd like to spend time with Ella and Teuila, I'm happy to accompany you."

Sera smiled appreciatively at him before turning to her friends. "I'm grateful for your offer, Archer, but I think it would be better if I spend some time alone with them. I want to learn more about them now that I can talk."

He nodded, comprehending the circumstances, while his heart filled with a blend of pride and yearning. "Okay, I'll continue my journey, but I'll eagerly await your return. Take care."

The trio of girls approached him, each planting a loving kiss on his cheek. Sera, in her playful manner, even gave a playful nibble to his neck before erupting into laughter.

With a wave, Archer opened a portal to the domain, and the three girls stepped through, disappearing from sight.

As they vanished, he retrieved a Kofta Skewer and began to enjoy its flavors, savoring every bite.

After finishing, he discarded the stick as he put the tent in his Item Box, and surveyed the jungle before him.

Birds and creatures gracefully glided through the verdant canopy above, Archer made his way to the edge of the ledge.

Without a second thought, he impulsively leaped into the air, his landing echoing with a resounding thud.

Shaking off the impact, he collected himself and fixed his gaze on the path stretching out before him.

Archer headed northward, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon in search of a road. After walking for some time, he finally came across a road and embarked upon it.

An hour passed, and in the distance, he spotted a town on the horizon. As he approached, a sense of unease enveloped the air, prompting him to activate his Aura Detector.

Scanning the road and the nearby forest, he remained vigilant. Caravans were sparsely traveling the road but he saw many turning onto the road he was on from another that came from the forest.

Suddenly, his attention was caught by a single, rapid ping approaching his location.

Under his breath, he whispered, "Draconis."

Raising his wings in a defensive stance, he braced himself as a missile-like spell collided with them. Though the impact caused him to skid backward, he easily shrugged off the attack.

Fixing his gaze on the attacker, Archer saw a menacing Lich, its wicked smile unyielding it continued its relentless assault, hurling dark magic spells at him.

Mostly Acit Blast and Dark Blasts. Reacting swiftly, Archer unleashed a counterattack. He started casting Element Bolts made from light.

The bolts struck the Lich with incredible speed, illuminating its body before it erupted into a blinding explosion. The creature crumbled to the ground, reduced to nothing but dust.

He looked at the spot where the Lich was standing, Archer continued walking and decided to check his status after eating the 50 hearts he managed to collect while bandit hunting.
