The tiny bookworm

Sprix sat on the table.

He could see how Donna Diana was speaking in a similar Apparatus - connecting both Worlds over the Abyss of Dimensions. And the Sorceress was obviously in a good Mood: "Carula is a strong Warrior - I think, by what she learned and accomplished here, she will be one of the mightiest Warriors in Tierra Sancta by now - a fitting Familiar and friend for Sally..."

Sprix smiled, knowing that things were going to be alright back in that dimension.

And against this Machine the Sorceress was speaking into, was leaning - another Sally.
The Neera Redhead, who was the Friend of Eloise, the Carthausian Neko.
"Hi, there!"
Wearing dark green, near-Army-Clothes, which were fitting her well, she looked almost like some Kind of `Special Agent´.

Sprix waved to her. "Hi! I'm sprix."

The slender Neera Girl sat down and smiled: "Yeah, I know... the weird Guy who can vanish on the Spot - and reappear in someone´s Dinner. But I think You´re cute - I like Your Face. It´s nice."

Sprix blushed "thanks. I like yours too."

Adter all was done and complete, Donna Diana leaned back and watched these two Cuties: "You know... Sprix has no Home here yet, I think. How about You showing him around a bit?"
"If he wants to?" Sally looked at the Sorceress.

"Sure."

"Okayyy.... what do You wanna see..." Sally asked Sprix and began to list it: "Rooftown... the Abkhani Stronghold... the Foxbat Stables... or the Dungeons down below... ?"

"The foxbat stables sound interesting"

So they went out of Donna Diana´s Room... through hidden Passageways between the Walls, taking some Stairways and even some Elevators, which went through some of these highly decorated Pillars - until they came to Rooftown: "Tadaaa!"
Sally showed Sprix the flourishing Tiny Town on a huge flat Roof - complete with Farms, cozy little Houses - and some bigger ones. And at a Wall to another of the countless Towers, there was a wooden Gate, which looked pretty big. In this open Gate stood a big Abkhani Girl at Guard, wearing the typical black and red Attire - like Carula did.
She was really pretty big - like Abkhani used to be and as Sally approached her, the redmand Neera Girl easily could stand between her Legs, as the athletic Abkhani Girl began to smile: "Hey, there - How are You?"
"Okay, I guess. Say, can I show my Companion the Foxbats?"
Looking at Sprix the Guard squatted down and got pretty curious: "Man - I never saw a blond Neera before... I am Saleen. Okay, I´ll show You around..."

"Nice to meet you, saleen." Sprix followed her into the stables

This `Stable´ in Fact seemed to be some Sort of wooden Walkway - on each Side there were pretty big batlike Animals dangling on their Feet from the dark Ceiling. Alongside this Walkway was... nothing. Some 17 meters deeper down there was an octagonal shaped Stone Floor, where...
In the Middle of this Tower there was a Crossing. Indeed, here were four Walkways - and each of them showed these huge Bats with their fox-like Heads, curiously watching the Newcomers.
"We guard them, feed them and protect them from Parasites. And so we can ride them. If You are as small as we are, You have to come up with an Idea to be faster." Salleen mentioned. Speaking of small... Of Course, compared to others both of them, Sally as a Neera and Saleen as an Abkhani were small - but in Fact Saleen more than doubled her Size compared to the redhaired Neera Girl. Come to think of it... this Abkhani Tribe really seemed to be the smallest Kind of Predators - and so a playful relationship between Tinies and Neeras seemed to bloom here in Rooftown...

Sprix smiled, and looked up at the foxbats. "So, what are they like?"

"They are cute - and they love Fruits. So they are pretty harmless. There are aggressive Bats too, who drink Blood - or some, who hunt Insects. But they have funny Noses and Ears - and are all much smaller." Saleen explained. Then she squatted down again and looked at Sprix and Sally: "Actually, some are just as small as You two here."

"really? that's cool."
sprix walked under one, looking up

"Yeah..." Saleen smiled - and touched the foxlike Nose of one of those big Bats with her own Nose: "They´re furry, cuddly and kind. And if You´re nice to them, they let You fly with them."

"cool!"
