I was polite, but made it clear that it was time for Xavier to leave. He nodded and said "Yes Wraxix. I need to go there are some spell scrolls that I need you to teach all of them to me. I finally have mana to do magic. I don't want to waste a single moment that I could be using for training." That was true. He was just a level 1 warlock. Xavier finished getting dressed and both Marantyz and I walked him out. Once Xavier was gone from sight, he looked at me. "Why did you give him to me!?" he asked. I looked back at him. "I didn't give him to you. I was being honest when I said I let him chose the dancer that he wanted. Something about those pecs of yours just really attracted him." I said. He smiled and said "Well, the others don't have good tits like me. Even in female form, you're not going to see any of them beat me." I let him brag. This was a victory for him. A warlock chose him and no one else. I was not going to rain on his big parade right now. It would not make me treat him any better than the others, but now he had a tool to claw power away from others. "No using Xavier against others." I said.
Warning him was just a courtesy. If Marantyz was going to try something, I would solve the problem on my own. We still had to get ready for opening. It was 1:00 and all of the early bird patrons would be arriving to get in when we opened at 4 o'clock. I was helping out today. Thinking about what had happened, I looked around. All of the incubi were at work, or at the very least pretending to be busy. I did not see Myles or Kyle anywhere. Checking the clock, it was almost 3:30. That was odd. They usually came in by 3 o'clock. I decided to go see what was taking them so long. Leaving the strip club, I walked the route they used to get to work. When I got to their house, I heard a lot of banging and crashing. Something was going on. I was concerned for them and hurried inside. I went in stealth as I did not know what to expect. I saw that things had been knocked over and smashed. There were also scorch marks all over the floor and walls. I found Myles face down in the kitchen. Hurrying to him, I shook him to wake him up. He was unconscious. I had to give him a greater health potion quickly.
Myles jolted awake. I looked at him and steadied him. "What the hell happened here!?" I demanded. He winced and said "We were ambushed. Everything was going fine for us until a squad of 7 air elementals appeared. They all had wanted us to go back with them. We can't go because of our contract with you. They attacked us and tried to take us by force." This was clearly not good. "We were both caught off guard. By the time we could respond, they were already engaging us. We fought them, but we obviously lost the fight." he continued. "I don't know where Kyle is. We have to go up and look for him. I think that he's still fighting them from all the banging that's going on." He paused to hear it. There certainly was fighting going on upstairs. We went upstairs together to search for Kyle. He was laying in the middle of the hallway. He was out cold. Standing over him were some of the air elementals. It was clear that he was able to take 2 out on his own. They were on the ground too. These guys were all fighting to see if they could take my air elementals away. I was not going to let it happen.
