For the next twelve days, Erik's ship sailed across the Norwegian and North seas. They stayed close to the coast to avoid the larger, more dangerous mutated sea creatures that likely lived in the deeper waters.
So far, Erik hadn't encountered any beasts that went beyond the second rank, and he assud it was the sa for the sea creatures. Unfortunately, even just sothing of second rank might prove a danger to them on the water, especially if it was large.
As for the weaker creatures like the Tidal Tempest they encountered last ti, they were avoided through the ship's invisibility.
Thus, Erik and the others enjoyed so peace and quiet for almost two weeks. Naturally, they spent most of this ti training, having sex, and doing so more bonding.
Most of them enjoyed the journey, as they were all with most of the people they loved. They were having fun, and getting stronger at the sa ti, all in the lap of luxury that was Erik's dinsion.
Only one person was not exactly enjoying herself: Anne.
Erik never touched her, but he did force her to sleep in his room and watch anyti he was having sex with his wives in an effort to entice her. So far his plan hadn't worked yet, but he was confident it would eventually, because the poor woman was already showing so cracks.
Being around so much sex all the ti, and being forced to sleep in a room saturated with Erik's modified, lust inducing pheromones, was pushing her own libido into overdrive.
Erik hadn't forbidden her from touching herself or anything like that, an advantage Anne gladly made use of whenever she was alone and outside the dinsion to steer the ship, but he could tell it wasn't enough for her.
Especially not with both Nora and Emma constantly pushing Anne in Erik's direction as well. Despite Nora's changes, Anne still looked to the blond werewolf for friendship, and after what happened in Alta, she also quickly grew closer to Emma, who still reminded her of her mother.
More and more, Anne started feeling frustrated and isolated. Everyone knew it wouldn't be long before she'd just decide to give in and get it over with.
But it wouldn't happen in this first leg of their journey.
After twelve days, the ship stealthily arrived in the Worthing harbour.
* * *
With sure step, and armoured Erik stepped down from the ship's boarding ramp and looked around the area. Worthing was a small town about an hour away from London at his top speed. It was located on the southern coast of England, along the English Canal.
The town appeared to be entirely deserted, but that wasn't much of a surprise. With London close by, most people had likely travelled there in recent years, to seek the Council's protection.
After all, the Council didn't have the manpower to secure every town or city on the map, so they focused on specific hubs in an area.
The harbour they arrived at was desolate, with rust and plant growth everywhere. He could see packs of wild dogs and other animals roaming the surroundings, and even felt so second-rankers among them.
But they were no danger or concern to him.
He turned around, and now faced Nora and Anne. "Keep an eye on the place ship, alright? London should be close enough for us to use our bond, so warn imdiately if sothing happens."
Nora answered with a cheerful bow that made her sizable breasts jiggle, and a happy, "Understood, Master!"
Besides her, Anne grumbled a little, but also nodded. Nora wasn't happy with that, however, and quickly pulled Anne down to a bow as well, making Erik chuckle.
Surprisingly, they were both wearing so kind of uniform. Elora had decided that their direct servants, like Nora and Anne, should have a way to distinguish themselves from others.
Thus, she designed and created a uniform for them, using sigils and simple rank one materials. Naturally, she'd used materials that gave enough stretch to allow the two of them to transform without destroying their uniforms.
The main outfit was a sophisticated, fantasy-inspired robe with a sleek and elegant design, and primarily blue, with gold colours decorations.
The top portion of the robe is sleeveless and form-fitting, with a high collar and a keyhole design at the chest, exposing so skin and cleavage. The robe cinched just below the chest, creating a flattering silhouette.
Then, it extended downwards, where their waist was cinched as well, using a golden belt. From there, the robe split into two parts: a flowing loin cloth in the front, and a back panel behind, both extending down to the ankles.
This left plenty of space to show of their legs from the front, which showed short, black pants that extended no further than the middle of their thighs, and fit closely to their legs.
The boots were black and extended up to the knees, after which a pair of socks continued upward to just below where the short pants ended. The outfit included long black gloves, extending above the elbows, but without covering the fingers, to leave room for their claws after transformation.
Boots, gloves, and pants were all decorated with gold ornants.

To finish the outfit, and truly signify them as servants of Erik and Elora, the outfit showed the sa symbol as appeared when they made a covenant: a howling wolf head in front of two fairy wings.
This symbol was stitched in golden colours on their belts, their loincloth, and the robe above their collarbone.
Despite not wearing the outfit with any particular amount of pride yet, even Anne had to reluctantly admit that she looked good in it.
After admiring the two of them for a few seconds, Erik nodded approvingly, "Good girls. I'll be sure to reward you both when I get back."
With that promise, he turned around, transford into wolf form, together with the Runeguard armour, and took off running.
Behind him, Nora and Anne stretched their backs again. While Nora watching her master longingly, Anne turned towards her with a wry expression, "Did we really have to bow to him?"
Nora grinned mischievously, "No, but we should, don't you think? He's our master, and deserves respect. I an, I've never known you to do anything half-heartedly, Anne. It's the choice you willingly made, rember? "
Anne sighed and muttered under her breath, "Yeah yeah, let's just get back inside."
Nora giggled at Anne's reluctance, as they both turned around to walk back onto the invisible ship.

anwhile, Erik was racing across post-apocalyptic England. No beasts bothered him as their instincts scread danger when he ca close, and he encountered no humans or supernaturals.
He ca across a lot of ruined farms, Victorian architecture, and beautiful forests that were slowly regaining the land.
As expected, he arrived in London after an hour, and pointed his sights in the direction of the Ashcroft residence.
This was their first stop in England. He had made a promise to Emily that she and her sister could take a mont to say goodbye to that house and their parents graves', sothing they didn't have the ti to do when they left.1
