"It is possible for you to have your headquarters here." Silent said while sitting across from Annabel. "Like everyone else, you need to pay."
Silent was now in charge of all Destol. This was her first big meeting with an investor that could make the city more prosperous. She was a little nervous, but she was determined to do her best.
"It isn't possible for Starlight to purchase the land and buildings we need outright. Too much of our money is tied up as it is. We only have so much gold. What percent do we need to put down as a deposit?"
Silent thought about carefully. She was about to ask Lucan through the system interface but then thought differently. She wanted to do this on her own.
"Alright, if you pay 40% of the cost, I will let you move in and work the rest off. You can pay slowly over time."
"60%." Annabel muttered. "It will be hard to get our hands on that much gold."
"It doesn't have to be gold." Silent said. "You can also pay using real world money. You can transfer the funds to World Conqueror Industries."
"Really? You would be willing to do that for us?" Annabel asked. "I was under the impression that everyone needs gold in the game and that it is the most important resource."
"It is true that gold is important, but we have plenty for the time being. Cash will work just fine."
"Good, good. Let's write up some contracts to make everything plain and clear." Annabel suggested.
Two hours later, the contracts were complete. Starlight ended up purchasing the rights to over a dozen buildings in Destol. Since they didn't have to make the purchases using gold, Starlight was able to pay for everything outright.
Lucan was in for a surprise when the system interface notified him of a bank transfer into his account. He looked happily at the new funds in his company account. It didn't take long for him to guess what happened.
[Lucan Quilldrake: The money showed up in the company account.]
He said to silent to let her know.
[Silent Night: Great. Things are all settled here.]
Lucan continued to search for a pocket dimension.
He flew through the air on his magic carpet while Adrestia rested in his lap. From time to time, Lucan would activate his Omni-vision and look around in hopes of finding what he was searching for. Since Omni-vision had a set time limit he could use it every day, he would quickly inspect his surroundings and then use his passive ethereal vision to check anything that caught his eye.

He still hadn't found any sort of pocket dimension. He wasn't entirely sure what it would look like, but Gilbuzz assured him that he would recognize it when he saw it.
Lucan searched high and low. He couldn't rule out a pocket dimension being found in the sky, now could he rule one out being found underground or under water. He searched until late at night.
The warlock hadn't gone to far from Destol, so he decided to head back to the city. Today had been his first time to the new city, but he was confident that he would have some sort of residence their. If nor, and worst came to worst, he could just rent a room at an Inn.
Ultimately, that wasn't necessary. The previous governor had joined the Plague Baron in his march against Lucan and never returned. When Silent arrived in the city, the first thing she did was take over his estate and make it her own.
He found out where she was and flew out to meet her.
Once Lucan stored away the carpet and entered the building, she quickly gave him a hug and dragged him to the bedroom.
"I am so tired, but I didn't want to head to be before you showed up." She mumbled before washing her face.
"I won't bother you, let's get some sleep." Lucan said, crawling into the large bed after casting his armor aside.
A minute later, Silent had joined him under the covers. She quickly fell asleep while her husband held her tightly.
The next morning the both felt refreshed. Getting up, they had a quick breakfast together.
"I thought you were hanging out with your sister?" Lucan asked. "How come I haven't seen her around?"
"She has to settle a few things for her guild yesterday. She will be back today."
Lucan nodded while finishing his toast.
"Annabel said she didn't mind if we came over and took a look today."
"Oh really?" Lucan asked, not sure why they would want to watch an entertainment company prepair to distribute a movie.
Silent could read his thought from a single glance at his face.
"They aren't just releasing a movie that they shot in the real world. They are also starting to film movies inside of Evolution. Think about how easy it would be to do the special effects."
Lucan nodded. "That is true. And I guess they don't have to worry about anybody getting seriously injured."

"That is right." Silent added. "Annabel invited me to come watch them film. I am going to bring Heaven with me so we can check it out. What are you going to be up to today."
"I still need to search for a pocket dimension. But I also using the time to search the realms for a proper wedding venue for us. I have already seen a few good locations."
Silent started to act shy when Lucan brought up the wedding. He thought it was cute. They were married in real life, and she was the one who wanted to get married in the game, but whenever he brought it up, she would still get shy and embarrassed.
"How is the dress coming along?" He asked.
"Heaven said that the tailor she has working on it is making good progress. I think it is pretty much done."
"Good, good. There are not too many things left to do. It will be married in the game in no time." Lucan said, sliding next to her.
Silent nodded but didn't say much,
"You aren't thinking of backing out now, are you?" He asked teasingly.
"What, no." Silent quickly answered while turning his way.
"Good, good." Lucan said before giving her a kiss. "I am going to get back to searching. Do you need any help here? I can send people over from Shadowsweep if you need anything."
"No, I am fine. I will see you later." She said, beckoning him to go.
Lucan stepped onto the flying carpet and soared away, into the skies.
A half an hour later, Heaven showed up.
"Did you save any breakfast for me?" She asked Silent.
The rogue pushed a plate of fresh food toward the sister that sat across from her.
"Hey, why do you look down?" Heaven asked.
"Lucan brought up the wedding today, and I think he realizes that something is wrong."
Heaven shook her head after taking a bite of a piece of fruit. "Listen to yourself. You make things sound so bad. You are nervous to have sex for the first time and a bit afraid. It is nothing to make a big deal about. That husband of yours isn't a complete idiot. He probably already knows. Trust me, everything will be fine. You will enjoy yourself."
Silent nodded but didn't say anything else while the two women finished their meal.
"So what are we doing today?" Heaven asked. "You were pretty excited yesterday when you told me you made plans."
Silent nodded, the thoughts about her wedding night were pushed to the back of her mind.
"I talked to Annabel yesterday and she doesn't mind if we come and watch them film their newest movie. They have quite a few popular names involved, I thought you would enjoy this opportunity."
"What?! No way!? For real?!?" Heaven excitedly asked.
"Yeah, they already gave me the location. The first scene they are shooting is only ten minutes outside of the city. Should we head that way?"
"Yes, yes, yes please." Heaven quickly said.
Silent had understood that Annabel didn't invite purely out of the kindness of her heart. But she understood. If they had trouble with any wild monsters that tried to wreck the scene they were planning on shooting, Silent and her sister would step in and take care of it.
Leaving the city, the passed through a forest before emerging on the other side.
Starlight had already set up for the morning and were getting things ready.
They were filming a scene on a lake today, and the lake before them was their target.
Annabel politely put the two to work when they arrived. She was aware that ordering the Barons wife around wasn't a good thing, but if Silent offered to help it wasn't a problem.
She had Silent and Heaven check out the lake for monster.
Heaven sent a few spells into the water and Silent let a few arrows dive into the depths. After a few minutes they gave all clear to Annabel.
Getting hurt or injured wasn't a huge deal. But if monsters killed the cast or destroyed the set, it would make things take longer. Starlight was determined to be the first company to film a movie entirely inside of Evolution.
But they weren't the only ones with this idea. Their competitors had the same thought. Each of the big entertainment company wanted to be first. It was a race against the clock.

The WereLionesses Mate
She was running out of breath, but that didn't matter, all that mattered was getting away from him and proving him wrong. Branches scraped her face and her arms, her body burning hot; but cold from her sweat as the wind blew over her skin. Her pants soaked from running through the streams, her shirt ripped to shreds around her stomach from very low hanging branches. Her hair, a tumbling fiery mess of tangles, and waves slipping through the ponytail she had quickly fastened trying to tame her wild hair. Running and crawling on the ground through the forest floor, trying to get back to the camp grounds so Whhooossshhhh! All of a sudden a giant gust of wind flew past her nearly lifting her off the ground and throwing her into a tree. Where in the world did that wind come from? She thought, but she kept running like it had never happened. She jumped over a fallen log, ignoring the fact that she almost fell in the process. She zoomed past all the trees and sprinted over the roots coming out of the ground. She rounded another tree coming to a sudden halt at seeing him standing there with a drink in his hand laughing and joking. She stood there wondering how in the world he could have beaten her here; He looked at her then, He looked, well, handsome, his faced was clean shaven and his button up shirt was all unbuttoned minus the three at the bottom. She could still visibly see his bronze chest and the top of his ripped-hard abs. He walked over to her and smiled, showing all of his teeth, the smile reaching his eyes. His eyes were dark and stormy, their color was usually a nice honey brown but now his eyes looked mid-night black. They looked like they could kill a man at eighty paces, but could sweep a woman off her feet at the same time.
