    The trip through the water with the girls was pretty quiet, thankfully. After everything had just happened, and with what was sure to being in the future, I felt like I deserved some rxation.


    “So what are we going to this ind for?” Mati asked curiously as she swam circles around Lillian and me as we both swam in snake bodies.


    “It was marked as dangerous. I want to go see why,” I said.


    “Isn’t knowing that whoever lives there does want to see you enough?” What is the point of making them mad for no reason,” Mati asked curiously.


    “No, I have a job, and that is to cleanse all Demons. If I don’t stop and check this ind now, I am going to have toe back to it in the future,” I exined.


    “What do you mean by cleansing them?” Lillian asked from beside me.


    “That is a bit harder to exin. In short, I have an aura that can give orgasms. After that, my system does the rest of the work. I have arge group of people working on the problem right now, but I have no way to hit all the Demons at the same time,” I said, and Lillian gave me a look.


    “You can give an orgasm to a woman without touching her? This I would like to see!” Lillian said with a smile that looked like it wanted more than that.


    “After we clear this ind, we will spend some time together if you want, but I am not doing anything like that in the open waters. We have already run into enough problems along the way. We don''t need to be asking for trouble now,” I said as we continued to swim.


    It was a really nice swim this time, and I could feel the warmth of the sun above. We were only about ten feet from the surface of the water, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.


    “Zack! There are some creaturesing towards us!” Mati called from below where she was swimming.


    I looked on my map, and we were getting pretty close to the ind now. I scanned around and located the creatures that Mati was talking about.


    “Slow down, and we will wait for them. I can’t get a lock on them to see what they are, so we will just wait and see what they want,” I exined, and Mati swam over to give me a strange look.


    “What if they want to kill us?” Mati asked.


    “Unless they are secretly Old Gods, I really don''t think that there would be many problems. I have already dealt with two using my bare hands. If these people are more dangerous to them, I will be very surprised,” I exined.


    “Oh, I forgot about that! I guess we really don''t have to worry about anything then!” Matiughed as we stopped to float in the water.


    “I wouldn’t say that. There are things that are not alive that are much more dangerous. I was tossed into a crystal recently and sent to a world where I almost died. This ring I am wearing right now held a monster that nearly killed me,” I exined, but Matiughed.


    “I don''t have to worry about that kind of thing! Nothing can hurt me!” Matiughed, but I shook my finger at her as we waited.


    “Don’t say that. You just haven’t gotten yourself into something you can get out of. Do you remember when I put you in my ring? I could have just left you in there, and your abilities would not have been able to help you. I have spent some time with Mary and Missy, so I know how your power works. If you are not directly threatened, your uncanny ability to avoid danger won''t work. There won''t be any clear danger for your ability to try and get out of,” I exined, and Mati blinked at me.


    “What do you mean? I have been captured before! And I got away!”


    “How? Did they trick you into a cage and leave you there?” I asked.


    “Yes, but they tried to hurt me after, and all died horrible deaths from a group of passing sharks that killed them all,” Mati said.


    “Exactly, if they would have just left you there to die, you would have just died. Your ability only works with direct threats,” I exined, but the creatures that I could now see through the water were getting closer.


    “Hmm, I never thought about it this way. I guess I will have to watch out,” Mati said as two male fish-like men swam up to us, covered in weapons and holding a spear in each hand.


    It was hard to tell what race of creature these were. The best I coulde up with was Fishmen, but they were less fishy than the Sahuagin. I also didn’t see gills on them, which meant they werend creatures.


    “Halt!”


    “Jeff, they aren’t moving. They can’t halt anymore than they already are!”


    “Shut up! You aren’t supposed to tell them our names!”


    “Why not? They don’t look like Demons… Are you Demons?” The unnamed Fishman asked, and I shook my head with a smile.


    “My name is Zack, and I am human. I am the one and only in this world of my kind, and definitely not a Demon. I havee with my girls toe and visit your ind to check if there are any Demons on it. If there are, I will be taking them with me to clean,” I exined.


    “Well, we don’t have any Demons, so you might as well just turn around and leave to go back to wherever you came from!” Jeff demanded, but the other threatened him with a spear.


    “Jeff, if you don''t take that pole out of your ass, I am going to add another one!” The other threatened and then turned to me with a smile. “Sorry, Jeff doesn''t do good with new people, but we also haven’t had good experiences with demons. We tend to be one edge, but I feel like I can trust you. My name is Steve, and we are from the ind of Fishbar. Like Jeff said, we don’t have any Demons here, but you are more than wee toe to check out the ind!"
