My story was a bit embellished, but the essence was the truth. I told him about the vicious rapes and the starvation of the villagers. I let him know that the victims were human men women and children. Stressing that all of the occupation force were human as well. He was downright shaking when I finished. When I sild the contract over the table to him he nodded and squeaked "I agree!" When we looked at him, he looked embarrassed and cleared his throat. "I think Giganto and Wetham are a major threat to our peace and security. I'll approve this right away and you can expect your initial payment in the morning". Mary smiled wryly bowed slightly. It seemed she was a bit disturbed as well. She reached out for his hand and said "We look forward for this collaboration. Thank you for this great opportunity". He shook it and said "Yes. It says a bit that the city will be relying on you lot for the near future". He smiled as he signed a copy and handed it back to Mary. We then turned and left. Mary waited until we were out the building before she thanked me.
I got some exp. for completing the quest and smiled with pride. "I can get back myself from here. Good night, Mr. Divad" she said. I let her go on to the office by herself with a wave. Now that I was done for the day, I went back to the inn that I paid for earlier in the day. I needed to wash off all the dirt and grime. I decided to get in the bath- more deliberately this time. I washed my fur with the bristle brush again for the second time and made sure I was squeaky clean. I waded deep in the water and let my body soak in the warm water. I sighed as my muscles relaxed. I looked and saw the other patrons soaking for the evening. When I climbed out the pool and shook the water off me, it was not the lizardkin bath wench from before that came to me. Instead it was Arcolio. "You're living here, huh?" he remarked as he began wiping me down. "You're a bath wench here?" I asked in confusion. He gave me a look and said "I need a job when I'm not called for the guild. You need to be bronze rank before you get paid a salary".
That was a surprise to me. "So. Do you want my services? I seen you fight today. I wouldn't mind it. I'm sure I could take your dick" the centaur said in a matter of fact way. It surprised me and he raised an eyebrow. "Epic City is not easy to live in. Most of us non-humans have to find ways to survive unless you have connections with the humans for money. You must have seen it. Even joining the guild as a servant costs 5 lin" he said. I nodded in understanding as Bardolf came to mind. "I'm lucky. As a centaur with strong legs and a broad back, I get jobs to escort caravans. They even saddle me with extra goods sometimes. Rikra has been in the guild about the same time as me and I've done 9 jobs. This was his second. To make ends meet, I have to whore myself out. You have no clue how many curious and drunk humans want to see how it feels to take me on for size. Of course, a sex worker's main clients come from their own race. I've been taking centaur dicks since I was a colt. A feral centaur tribe dick would split me apart, but I can take anything else".
Asking how old he was made him scoff. "I'm 19 years old. Please, don't bother. I know Yieldless like you have a thing for ages. Most humans come of age at 16 years old. Centaurs like me come of age at 12". He looked annoyed. "Are you into males?" I asked him. Arcolio shrugged. "I don't care. I've fucked males and females of many races. If I had my choice, I'd choose a centaur mare. In fact... I would mount and fuck your pussy all night if you wanted" he said as he realized I wanted an answer to my question. I shook my head. "Suzie is my girlfriend. It wouldn't be right" I said. He nodded in understanding. "That's fine. Let me finish drying you off" he sighed. He then worked on me until I was dry. "I'm glad you picked us today. It is the rules of the guild that if we get contracted for a battle, we automatically rank up" he said approvingly as he set the towel aside. "Doesn't that mean you won't have a coal ranks?" I noticed. "Not all of us will make it. Creatures would flock to us after they see how much honor and loot we get during the battle" he explained. I thanked him as I went off to my room.
