Hero had sex with Alia, and when I questioned them on it, Hero suddenly grabbed me and dragged me into it. I could have probably said no.. but I really didn’t want to.. It.. it felt so good.. Like something I had always wanted. Something I was always.. Missing.

  He made me feel so good I lost consciousness for a moment. When I came back he was killing a crab nearby and Alia was screaming at him. “You can’t just leave her like that! Go and finish now!”

  I smiled weakly at that. He had finished. Though.. I certainly would not have said no to more… Still, Hero was right in this case.. I needed to figure out what was happening to me.

  I slowly got to my feet and looked at myself. I was covered in sweat and other bodily juices that mixed with sand. It was gross and I wasn’t having it. Walking over to the water, I tested it. It was freezing!

  I cursed under my breath before my eyes wandered over to Wavey’s form. I smiled.

  “Wavey! Come! I ordered the little elemental. It rushed over obediently and I stood tall, opened my legs more and brought my arms up to either side. “Clean me!” I ordered.

  It became a stream of water that started at my feet and began to scrub me with his waves. As he reached my private area I covered it. I.. I didn’t want him cleaning there… But it was messy..

  Slowly, I removed my hand and looked away as he entered and cleaned before leaving and continuing up my body. I was clearly still turned on from earlier because that act almost made me come again.

  When he reached my breasts and cleaned them, he had to go down and clean up what that caused… Finally he cleaned my face and hair. Now I was nice and clean, just as a… I paused. “Just as a… what..”

  Alia had said I was a Princess before. Maybe it was something like that? Really, what I needed was something to cover myself. I hadn’t realized how much the sand was hurting until Wavey had cleaned it out.

  I looked around the beach and the nearby forest. I didn’t see anything that could be used to cover myself though. After a moment, I sighed and walked over to Hero and Alia. Maybe.. Maybe they would know where to get clothes.

  I had only taken a few steps when I felt.. Something.. Visions flashed in my head. I was looking up at Hero.. he was looking down at me.. With.. disdain? Why..

  The vision was gone and I was left standing there panting. “You coming Aqua, we could use your help!” Hero called out. I sighed as I beckoned Wavey to follow. It was time to fight.. I guess.

  “Wait!” Hero called suddenly in a panic. He seemed to be looking for someone on his naked body? Then he pulled out what seemed to be a picture? He sighed in relief and it vanished again.

  “Seriously? You are still holding onto that thing?!” Alia said in irritation. “If you want to see me, I am right here!” She stomped her foot. “I am not even naked in that picture!”

  Hero sighed and just blocked another crab pincer. Alia stuck her tongue out at him, then started firing at the crab really fast.

  I wasn’t sure what to do. “Um.. Wavey, attack that crab!” I pointed weakly at the crab. Wavey summoned a ball of water and fired it at the crab… it did almost nothing. I sighed and wondered if I just wasn’t meant for combat?

  A crab managed to snap past Hero’s spear and he almost dodged. He seemed to be distracted, which led to his arm falling useless on the ground. Sighing, he shook his head even as the crab reached him. CLAMP Hero died and a moment later, he appeared again next to Alia.

  He resummoned his spear and blocked the same crab right before it hit Alia. She jumped back and kept firing. A little crab walked up to me. I looked at it, it looked at me. CLAMP I felt.. Why?! Ouch! I hit the sand as my right leg from the knee down was cut off with a single clamp.

  I began to cry, the crab didn’t care, Wavy tried to stop it, but his water balls glanced off the stupid thing. “Just shift so it clips your neck! It’s less painful!” Alia called out.

  “Also, make sure to toss sand as it does so it can't chance you on respawn!” Hero added. I stared at the crab as it came close… no…no… Everything went black and I was caught by Hero.

  He instantly pushed me to the side to block another pincer. I slowly stood, shaking from the pain and dismemberment. I hated this place.. I hated it so much. Another crab made its way too me, I backed away as it chased.

  “Kick sand so it slows down a little!” Alia called. She jumped in front of me, kicked sand and the crab did slow down, she then dodged its pincer, fired a round of her bubble pistol, and jumped back over to Hero.

  I kicked sand at it, it slowed again, but I was already out of breath.. how .. did they have so much energy. After another moment, it reached me. I was able to dodge the first clamp, but the second got me.

  This time, I shifted my neck as I lay there and everything went black with less pain. The moment I respawned, I immediately summoned Wavey. The crab made its way towards me. “Block its path!” I ordered the elemental.

  Wavey moved and stood between the crab and myself. The crab walked around Wave even as Wavey kept firing water bolts at it… I sighed as it reached me. I didn’t bother running, I dodged the first pincer and leaned forward for the second.

  This time, I spawned Wavey and rushed over to Hero, Wavey followed me and began helping Alia fire at the crabs. He wasn’t doing much, but he was helping. When the crab chasing me got close, Hero turned and blocked its pincer as Alia blasted it down.

  “You owe me twenty gold coins!” Alia said giggling. Hero rolled his eyes and kicked sand in the face of the crab. I looked between them, but neither explained.

  I watched from behind Hero as he blocked the crabs. “Okay, I think this should be fine, ready for the big pull?” Alia suddenly asked Hero. Hero sighed and nodded. Hero didn’t seem to talk much…

  Alia suddenly turned and rushed down the beach. I was confused, especially when she left our sight. “What.. what is she doing?” I asked worriedly.

  Hero smiled. “Pulling the entire beach at once.” I blinked, then I shook my head. After a moment what he said fully set in.

  I slowly took 3 large steps back from Hero. “Is.. is she insane!?” I cried as I saw Alia entering my view. She was slightly faster than her walk, but slower than a run.

  She kept stopping to kick sand… I realized to my horror that as she walked, she kept firing her pistol at every crab she passed. “NO NO NO NO!” I screamed as terror filled me.

  I debated fleeing, realized there was nowhere safe, and pointed at Wavey. “Go.. Go help her or something!” Wavey moved towards Alia. When he reached her, he fired a water bolt at her!

  Alia tried to dodge, but she didn’t see it coming in time. Except.. Instead of taking damage, her eyes went wide and she smiled. She began to run. Wavey followed her and after a moment fired another ball of water.

  Alia sped up, continuing to fire at crabs. She began giggling maniacally as Wavey kept firing balls of water at her. “Fascinating, based on her stats, your elemental is restoring her energy every time he hits her with that skill. Wait, does that mean your elemental was increasing the crabs energy…” Hero frowned and went quiet, clearly lost in thought as Alia came closer.

  When Alia reached us, Hero and Alia killed all the crabs, Wavey kept firing at Alia the entire time and she was enjoying herself. Soon, they were all dead. “So, how much XP did you get?” Alia asked me. I frowned and shook my head.

  “She probably hasn’t turned her UI on.” Hero commented casually. Alia froze at that and shook her head before giggling.

  “That's.. That is not possible, she had to open her UI to select her elemental right?” She suddenly seemed very confused.

  “Maybe, but you have to remember, she wasn’t fully cognizant. She probably just selected something and closed it.” Hero answered. I felt my face heat up. He was right, I had just read quickly what each one did and clicked the one that looked prettiest.

  Alia stomped over to me. “Open your UI and turn on notifications!” She snapped at me with irritation. Taken aback by her sudden violence, I quickly opened my UI and looked for a notification thingy.

  After a moment I found it, it was a bell with a slash through it. I mentally selected it, and a popup came up.

  I tapped yes.

  “AHHHHHHH” I screamed as I covered my now bleeding ears and began to sob uncontrollably.
