"Stay here until we call for you," one of Nerissa's guards said to Josh and Jack, pushing them into a very small room.
"This is all on you. They would have never found if I hadn’t been stuck in your tentacles," Josh accused Jack loudly, almost screaming.
"How often do I have to tell you that it wasn't my fault? Why don't you try to coordinate so many tentacles," Jack countered, crossing his arms in front of him.
"Why didn't you shapeshift back to human form? That would have solved all the problems," Josh exclaid with a red face.
"Yeah, maybe because I didn’t think of it at the mont—those crabs hurt a lot," Jack explained, you could have said sothing too.
"I don't care. It's your fault we're slaves right now," Josh said reluctantly.
"Do you feel better now?" Jack asked after a short pause.
"No, I don't. I’m still a damn slave!" Josh yelled, thoring his arms around.
"I think you just need a hug," Jack said, walking up to Josh.
"No, I don't need a hug. Get away from !" Josh shouted, pushing Jack away.
"You can't always be so negative. You have to see the positive side of life." Jack tried.
"The positive side? I AM STILL A SLAVE!" Josh yelled in anger.
"Maybe it isn't that bad. She probably just wants to ask us so questions and will let us go after," Jack said with confidence.
"No, she won't do that," Josh shouted in disbelief. "Do you even know what slaves are?"
"Yes, of course I know that," Jack countered fast.
"So, my dear friend Jack, why don't you explain what slaves are exactly?" Josh asked slowly.
"Well, it's so kind of special employnt," Jack answered, although very slowly.
"Yeah, the kind of special employnt that can get you killed in this new world," Josh shouted loudly.
"Everyone will die one day," Jack shrugged.
"Not in this world. Didn't you know that we could live forever if we reached a high enough level?" Josh said, praying silently, Please, God, don't let die like this.
"You two, co. The Lady has requested your presence," one of the guards commanded after opening their cell door.
They walked around two corners, then they were led into the river again, which the people used as a street in this palace. A few doors later, they were in a great room that was filled with expensive items. It was so full that the great hall that suited Nerissa as a living room couldn't fit another single item.
Many n and won in expensive clothing were in the room. They all had sothing to drink and were talking until Jack and Josh, with their guard, stepped through the three-ter-tall door.
"Hello, everyone. This is what I wanted to present to you: my two new slaves, Josh and Jack," Nerissa announced, stepping out of the crowd and walking over to them.
"What is so special about them? They look pretty weak," a man in a golden robe asked, perplexed.
"It's their class. Can you believe it? They are shapeshifters," Nerissa said, raising her voice so everyone could hear her. "They can take the form of every beast they defeat."
"That's very interesting, but I would prefer to hear about that legendary golden vase and how you got it," another woman interjected.
"Be quiet. I want to see what they can change into," another man said, very interested.
"Show us your forms," Nerissa said to Jack and Josh, completely ignoring the woman from before.
Josh transford into the crab, and the whole room burst into laughter.
"A crab? Haha, where did you find these two idiots?" A woman laughed loudly.
"In what will the other guy transform—maybe a jellyfish?" Another woman laughed with tears of joy in her eyes.
"Are they for sale? My daughter always wanted a crab as a pet," a female voice in the back chuckled.
Josh transford back into his human form, his face bright red with embarrassnt.
"What about the other one? Why doesn't he transform?" A voice in the crowd yelled.
"Do it. This is a command," the guard said with a cold voice and pushed Jack forward.
Jack transford into a giant squid. The giant squid filled the whole room, crushing most of the items under his weight. Jack panicked, and his tentacles were flying around, throwing those who were not fast enough to dodge against the walls.
"Jack, stop it! You're going to get us both killed," Josh yelled in panic while pinned between Jack's eye and the wall.
"Josh, I can't breathe! I think I'm drowning," Jack yelled, also panicking.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
"Transform back imdiately!" Nerissa hissed with anger.
"I can't concentrate—soone is slicing my tentacles off, Josh!" Jack huffed, as though he had no air, which was probably true.
"Josh, I can't hold my breath any longer—I need to breathe," Jack exclaid in fear, while his tentacles thrashed around in panic.
"Please, Jack, concentrate! You can do it!" Josh tried, glancing at Nerissa's furious expression.
Her face was pale, and her eyes were almost ablaze with hatred as she watched the last of her precious items ripped from the walls, while everything else had been crushed under the squid's giant body.
Josh thought that the only reason Jack still lived was that she was so angry, that she was frozen in shock, making her unable to react.
"I think I'm passing out," Jack said in a fading voice.
"JACK!" Josh scread and punched the big eye.
The big squid was so surprised by the pain that he released hundreds of liters of black ink onto the nobles closest to Jack. Soon after, he transford back into his human form.
"Yes, I made it! God, I was so worried," Jack exclaid exhausted, before his eyes rolled back in his head, and he fell over, landing hard on the ground.
This focused the combined anger of all the nobles on the one slave who was still standing. Josh had no doubt they would make him pay for everything. One woman who had been stuck in Jack's tentacles was covered from head to toe in black ink.
"You will die a horrible death when I'm finished with you," a man yelled at him from behind.
"No, you don't have the skill for torture. Give the slave," an old woman hissed.
Nerissa had finally found her voice again. "Bring them back to their cell. I will think of an appropriate punishnt."
Josh swallowed. This was not good—not good at all.
