In the monster dimension with the eastern team, everyone was rested and was ready to head from the port. The ship was fully repaired and was on its way to the other side to wait for the team. They checked out of the inn and were heading through the market, looking at what was for sale. Mekuboto was sticking close to Elysium and Captain Harvey joined the team. A Minotaur was looking at Mekuboto and he was trying to grab her but Elysium's sensors picked up on it and he launched a fireball to intercept. The Minotaur got hit back from the fireball and hit the ground.

Elysium: Don't touch her.

Mekuboto was holding onto Elysium.

Minotaur: What are you to say, you are just a mage.

Captain Harley: A mage with a team and she is off limits.

Everyone was ready with their weapons to protect Mekuboto.

Minotaur: She could sell for a fortune with those chains included.

Elysium: She is not for sale and we are leaving.

Mekuboto hooked onto Elysium and everyone got back on task. They were making sure they were fully stocked for the trip ahead, the snake that was with them had already split up and was headed towards its destination. They were just about ready to hit the road to another village. Just then Nico was hearing something.

Monster: Sir, they don't have any mercenaries to help us with getting back to the castle.

Nico: Hold up everyone, I am hearing something.

Jess: What is it?

Nico: Sounds like someone needs an escort to somewhere.

Captain Harley: Wait here, I know what you mean.

Captain Harley left and went to see what is going on. Mekuboto got off Elysium's back and came in front of him, he was rubbing her head.

Elysium: Don't worry; no one is going to treat you badly, not while I am protecting you.

Captain Harley came back with a piece of paper.

Captain Harley: Looks like they need mercenaries for an escort back to their city from the port. The roads are getting more dangerous with the Frankensteins on the roads attacking the caravans.

Jones: Shouldn't we help out; we are going the same way.

Human: Wouldn't hurt to help.

All of them go over to the mercenary house for the job.

Neko: I'm telling you, no one else wants to go that direction.

Captain Harley: We will take it.

The team came in and was ready to go.

Neko: You all are a bunch of novices; this is a job for skilled people.

Monster: At this time, I'll take them.

The monster looking for mercenaries was a different type of Lamia, this was an anaconda type.

Jess: Whoa, that is one big Lamia!

Elysium: From the read of my database I downloaded, she is an anaconda type.

Jess: Squeeze up their prey and swallow them whole type?

Anaconda: Yes, which is how I eat and don't worry, I'm still digesting my meal from last month, should last me for a year.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Jones: What do you need help with?

Anaconda: An escort and transport to our home city in the forest. We were stopping at the port for our usual supplies for our livestock but the roads have become more dangerous now with these new monsters.
