In the middle of the night at around 3am, Zephyr wakes up wanting to use the bathroom. When she stands up, she falls over due to her problem with her balance. Ryan pops up out of bed as soon as he heard her crash to the floor. He then rush’s over to her and picks her up.
“Whats Wrong honey?” Ryan asks her.
“I just can’t walk. Can you please take me to the outhouse?” She asks him.
He then smiles at her and carries her outside. He puts her inside the building and waits about a minute and a half for her to finish up. He then carries her back inside. She crawls inside his arms and buries herself from the outside world still in a lot of pain and scared she may never be able to walk again. Ryan holds her tight and plays with her hair and assures her.
“I am here for you” He says to her.
She falls asleep crying silently 30 minutes later, and in the morning, everyone comes to the Kitchen Everyone agreed not to talk about what happened last night to Zephyr. They all eat breakfast, and Zephyr inquires about wanting to go to town with Kannell and Liz. Ryan goes with them since he was still her Indentured Servant/Boyfriend. He Carries her to Breanna’s Inn and sets her down at the bar in front of her.
The first thing Breanna did was ask about her tail, and Zephyr told her what happened. Breanna comes over to give her hug and comfort her like a caring Sister.
While She and Breanna were talking, Ryan walks up to the Inn’s Community board and notices a company in town is hiring “Transport Specialist’s” He takes the Flyer off the wall and reads it.

Ryan sees this and smiles.
“Hey honey?” Ryan asks while holding flyer in his hand.
“Whats up Ryan” Zephyr asks.
“I’ll be Right back in like 30 minutes” He tells her.
“Okay” She replies as Breanna looks at her back.
Ryan then walks outside and seeks out this business. He Asks Warren, and he Directs him to the Pipe depot near the plumbing project that everyone was working on that was to make the Fort walls collect Rainwater for the town. Next to the Pipe Depot, Ryan finds a man who was overseeing unloading of a cart full of Stone.
Ryan talks to the man and finds out this was Gary. Ryan then proceeds to explain to him how he had his hand in Moving Pipes, Limestone, and other supplies during the wall renovations. He also tells him he also defended the town during the siege. Gary then walks Ryan over to one of his Gatorboar’s and gives him a pop quiz.
Ryan surprises him with what her knew, and also told him He piloted a Donkey Train before they gave him these powerful beasts to use. Gary also asks him about the Trailers he’s used during the project, and Ryan shows him how you hook these things up, and also showed him a Weld job he did underneath it.

The man smiles at Ryan and pulls out a Contract.
“I Need 20,000 pounds of Iron Ore Delivered to Gainer. It needs to get there in the next 5 days. Do you think you could run this load 70 miles over there for me? The Queen herself is waiting for this and shes a big customer of mine” He asks Ryan.
“I Sure can! These Gatorboar’s can Run at 10 miles an hour so like that’s only like a 9-hour trip if you include stops and breaks and interruptions”, He tells Gary.
“Ahh you can also budget your time too! I love it kid. Heres the deal. I will start you off at 1 gold a mile on your first trip. Then if you succeed, I will raise your pay. I already have another load lined up that’s leaving Gainer and its going to Mia. That will be like a 200-mile trip.
“Okay, I’m in!” Ryan said as she signs the contract.
“Can I bring a Friend?” Ryan asks as he signs the form.
“I don’t see why not? Gary asks him.
“Cool.” Ryan said as he hands him the form.
“Can they fight? Because some of my loads are worth A LOT of money. And I expect you to fight and Defend them. He tells Ryan as she shakes his hand.
“Umm sort of” Ryan tells him as he thinks about Zephyr.
“Well I don’t mind; this is a Very lonely job” He tells Ryan as he taps him on the head with the rolled-up contract.
“You want to start tommorow? I’ll give you a day to get your stuff together” Gary tells Ryan.
“Sure, that sounds PERFECT” Ryan Replied.
“Okay then, I’ll see you here at 7am tommorow” Gary said as he walks back to the unload site.
Ryan seeming excited, walks over to Zephyr and tells her what he just did.
“So, you want to go tour the country with me?” Ryan asks Zephyr.
“Sure, that sounds FUN!” Zephyr said as she stands up and slowly wobbles over to Ryan.
“Your able to stand now, that’s good” Ryan tells her.
“Ya, I spent about 15 minutes healing up her wound with my healing spells. Shes a lot better now in conjunction with those druid healing spells that she was healed up with” Breanna said.
“Hey before we go tommorow take me to the bank honey, let me pull out some money for your Trip” Zephyr said as she crawls onto his back.
Ryan then heads over to the bank, and Zephyr wants to remove some of her savings. When she goes to withdrawal shes hit with some bad news.
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN I ONLY HAVE 300 GOLD LEFT! I HAD OVER 3 MILLON IN THERE LAST TIME I CHECKED!” Zephyr screams at Garrison.
“Lady Thickmane, I’m sorry but when you created an account, you signed a clause that stated the city may take out gold from your account at anytime due to War, Property Damage, and ECT.” Garrison told Zephyr.
“YES, I KNOW THAT! BUT THE MATH DOESN’T ADD UP. The contract says a Portion amount from my account with everyone else’s will be dedicated in times of war. There is no was my account paid for 3 million gold in supplies for the town. There is NO WAY!” Zephyr screamed at him.

“Um, you DID have a Shadow Priest on your team on that final battle with the Disturbian Priest. Your Shadow Priest ended up inflicting massive damage to the wall, and we had to replace a whole section after the battle was over”. Garrison told Zephyr in a regretful tone.
“That’s not my fault, plus she did help kill that guy with that blast of hers” Zephyr told him.
“Well Yes, she did help defeat him, but at the same time, she was IN YOUR PARTY when she blew that wall open. Yes, I know Ryan was the leader of the group, but he didn’t have enough money to pay for the damages she causes so we passed them on to you” Garrison explained to her
“Oh, you’re So fucking Lucky I can’t Walk right now!” Zephyr screams at him. Ryan then jumps in and pulls her out of the bank.
“Chill out honey. He’s a Direct line to Lake” Ryan warns her.
“So is Liz!” Zephyr said in a pissed off tone as she hops on Ryan’s back.
Ryan then Carries her over to Kannell and Liz who were over by the “Ye Old Love Shack” Shop
Ryan who doesn’t want to go into this Adult store, waits outside and the girls walk out with some goodies in some black bags.
Zephyr then screams at Liz about what happened at the bank, and Liz explains to her she cannot undo it. Since Lake was the one who authorized it. This pisses her off even more. The girls then Teleport them all back home. Ryan Carries Zephyr on his back inside and the get the door for him. They all put the Groceries they had for the week down on the table, and then Carry their “Personal Toys” to their rooms.
Ryan then puts away the Vegetables, the White Rice, and some of the fish they bought. He then walks into the bathroom and gets a Bath going. He carries Zephyr into their room, and she tells him what clothes she wants to wear. He picks them out of the Dresser, and then carries her into the bathroom. He then places her onto the Granite steps that lead up into the bath. He then starts to heat up the water for 10 minutes, then walks up to her, and undresses her.
She Still felt devastated now she didn’t have her Tail, but the way Ryan was treating her made her feel like a princess. He was doing everything she always wanted her future boyfriend to do. She was starting to feel loved by him. As he takes off her shirt and her bra, and then her dress, he carries her into the water and then takes of his shirt and Shorts He sits down next to her and looks into her eyes.
To Ryan, He still felt bad that his wish came true, but Zephyr was secretly a Super sexy normal girl in his eyes now. She resembled a Human now, and those cute Cat ears of hers were forgivable, and cute at the same time. He picks up some soap and a Rag and starts bathing her.
Zephyr while he washed every inch of her body Started to really love this. When he washes her Hair for her She pulls him into her for a kiss and they go down into the water. This Excites Zephyr a little bit, but at the same time also excites Ryan.
Ryan Continues washing off Zephyr and Zephyr also with the best of her ability returns the favor and washes Ryan off. They then pull the Plugs on the bath and he carries her out. He then Dries her with a Towel, and Dress’s her. He then Carries her to the bedroom and tucks her in the bed. She needed to get as much Rest as she could, Sure The bath helped clean up her wound. But it was going to be a Long Day tommorow. He laid beside her and they talked some more.
“So whats the day going to be like tommorow?” Zephyr asked him.
“Well, we will head to town, grab a Huge Trailer-Cart, and attach it to a Gatorboar then head down to Gainer. It will be a fun Trip for both of us to take through the Country” Ryan told her.
“As Long as I’m with you, any trip we take is fun” Zephyr told him in a romantic tone.
“Aww, that’s sweet” Ryan told her while kissing her on the cheek.
“Nope Try again Mister!” She said in a Flirty tone.
Ryan smiles at her and then gives her a kiss on the lips.
“Ahh much better” Zephyr said while snuggling up against him.
“So, it’s going to take like 9 hours at the most to do that 70-mile run there” Ryan tells her.
“Well, that’s sounds fun. I haven’t really explored Tourterra, so this will give me the chance to now” She told him.
“Well, after we deliver that load there, we have another load that’s headed over to Mia, which is like 200 miles away from there” Ryan tells her.
“Sweet! Another adventure is already lined up for us? That sounds Awesome!” Zephyr replied back in a hyper tone.
“But that one will take like 20 hours to do. We will have to set up camp” Ryan tells her.
“Honey stop Exciting me! Now I Cannot wait, I love camping!” Zephyr told him.
“Ok, then honey” He told her as he gives her a kiss.
‘I’m gong to talk to Kannell about lending us her tent” Ryan said as she walks out the door ,
“Okay honey.” She told him as she tries to daydream on what tommorow will be like.
Ryan then comes back with a tent for them, and she gets even more excited.
Then for the rest of the Day, Ryan does all of Zephyrs Chores. He cleans her laundry outside in the lake, and then cleans the bathroom and the Kitchen while Misty plays with Zara.
