"All right Netherlings, gather around please!" Ryzar, the netherlings babysitter (Their words, not mines).

The netherlings groaned as some reluctantly gathered around Ryzar, while the rest were actually more excited as the past few days without their Incubus was too boring... Ryzar, was too boring.

Ryzar clears his throat and happily tells the gathered netherlings the 'Good News' that he has for them.

"Later, I'll be going out for a bit to gather the surprise I have prepared for you guys!" He saids cheerfully.

Now this got the netherlings interest as the ginger giggled and dismissed their little, short meeting. What could the surprise be? They could only hope that it was food.

"All right netherlings I'm off! Make sure to behave while I'm gone." Ryzar waves to the netherlings who were all gathered by the front door and he waves goodbye to them while locking the front door.

As soon as they felt the dinoboi's presence fade away, chaos quickly took over the calm and peace.

A few netherlings slept inside the teacups Ryzar had suspiciously prepared on the bars counter, a murder of netherlings played with the clubs stair handrail. Using it like a slide.

While three netherlings were secretly separated from the legion... hiding underneath the bar counters cracks.... Plotting.

One of them squeaked and pulled out a whole sheet of paper that was bigger than its tiny body. But was strong enough to handle the paper.

That netherling laid the paper on the floor and started explaining (In netherling language aka squeaks) on how they should escape the place while the big, bad dinoboi was gone for a little while.

One netherling protested and didn't want to be apart of the escape plan, so the third netherling shook the scared netherling by its neck fur and told them that it'd be fine.

So after a little while off discussing their mini escape plan they decided to commence it right away without letting the other netherlings know.

While the other netherlings were busy in their own businesses, the three mischievous ones fled quietly to the clubs ventilation system, which gave them the opportunity to pitter patter to the other side of the vent. The outside.

The three squeaked happily and they walked to the front of the club to see if they could open the door from the outside to release the rest of the netherlings.

The three of them made a mini ladder by climbing on top of each other, using their jelly physics to stretch, which in return worked as the netherling on top started tinkering with the lock.

Using a piece of its neck fur... I wonder how that'll help?

"Hm? What're you three doing out here...?" A voice rang out from behind them and they saw a shadow looming over them as they shake in nervousness.

. . . . . . . .

"I'm baack!" Ryzar happily greeted each netherling that went to greet him but the other netherlings noticed that he was holding a paper bag, as well as... three netherlings by the tails?

Ryzar sat the paper bag on top of the bars counter and smirked at the three netherlings whom he held by the tails, who were also softly whining.

"Now, give me a good reason on why I shouldn't eat you for being disobedient~?" The three netherlings within his grasp started shaking in order to break free, one even trying to bite the gingers fingers but failed. While the three netherlings tried hard to break free the other netherlings started panicking and squealing.

Suddenly the paper bag Ryzar bought back started shaking.. like something or someone was inside of it. Ryzar chuckled and eventually put down the three netherlings within his grasp.

"I'll deal with you three later. Now~ Meet your new friends!" Ryzar put down the bag on the floor and then, all of a sudden a horde of delicious cupcake dino creatures came out of the bag.

"Netherlings, meet the Ryzawrs! My beloved cupcakes~" Ryzar happily gestured the two creatures to move closer to each other.

One ryzawr made the first move and wobbled closer to one of the netherlings. The dino cupcake then started sniffing the netherling that was in front of it. Until that said netherling hissed at the ryzawr-

"Heyy! No hissing. Play nice netherlings." Ryzar quickly scolded the netherlings and lets say that some of the netherlings weren't too happy about the arrival of the ryzawrs or as they call them. 'Intruders.'

While a few of the netherlings didn't like the ryzawrs approaching them, some had already become friends with the creature that looked rather delicious interesting looking.

"What happened cupcakes?" Ryzar was just prepping the ingredients for a feast he'll be cooking for him, the ryzawrs and netherlings.

But then, a few of the ryzawrs came running to him in a panicked manner. When asked what was wrong, the ryzawrs quickly explained that some of the netherlings tried to bite, nom or eat them.

Ryzar looked at his cupcakes.. dumbfounded.

Because he forgot one crucial thing about the netherlings.

The tiny, demonic, well beloved netherlings of Zander Netherbrand...

Were all fucking biters.

Ryzar sighed and reassured his ryzawrs that it won't happen again. He then walked outside of the kitchen and quickly made the netherlings gather around him, along with the ryzawrs.

"Listen netherlings. I know you guys have a tendency to bite things but don't bite, nom or try to eat the ryzawrs because they are friends!" Ryzar looked at each of the netherlings who had confused yet amused faces.

A ryzawr then came forward and started conversing with the netherlings who looked at the dino cupcake with interest.

Even if Ryzar couldn't really understand what his cupcake was saying, he could feel the positive emotions rolling off of it. The ryzawr then roared and put its paw out to enhance a handshake, initiating peace.

The netherlings looked at each other and one came forward before the ryzawr with the outstretched paw, and the netherling gently clasped the ryzawrs paw in its paw and they both did a handshake, making a peace treaty. Even if it was very one-sided lmao.

Ryzar looked happily at his cupcakes and the netherlings who were all in good terms now, he went back to the kitchen to cook their feast and couldn't wait to tell his friend about it.

While Ryzar was cooking. A few of the netherlings and ryzawrs were sitting in a circle in one of the clubs tables.

Talking about the other creatures they often see around their masters other friends.

One netherling said that the dewdrops were perfect for hydration but they were quickly bonked by another netherling who said that the dewdrops were friends and not things to drink.

Meanwhile the ryzawrs talked about how the cinderbuns would melt them when they got too close or how the adzenturers would stare at them weirdly all the time.

The ryzawrs and netherlings chat for awhile; sharing laughs, jokes and gossip as time went by and by the time Ryzar finished cooking their feast. He asks the two creatures to help each other prepare the dinner table while he goes out to buy refreshments.

. . . . . . . .

"Uhh... wha-what happened?" Ryzar's eyes widened as he saw all the ryzawrs and netherlings covered in flour..

He was only gone for five minutes and he came back to half the kitchen being covered in flour.

The ryzawrs explained that the netherlings thought it'd be a good idea if they baked a few cupcakes for deserts but while they were preparing to put the cupcakes inside the oven, one of the netherlings accidentally pushed a ryzawr inside the oven.. and thats when chaos ensured.

The ryzawrs panicked and started rushing to open and turn off the oven before one of their siblings get turned into an actual dino cupcake while the netherlings started eating the flour but some did help the ryzawrs.

Ryzar smiled blankly and asked all of them to clean the kitchen with him before they sit down to eat dinner. Which took about 40 minutes as he had to keep a eye on the ryzawrs and netherlings.

After the whole charade, they all dig into the feast Ryzar cooked that was still hot even if it took them awhile to clean the kitchen.

. . . . . . . .

"Aren't they all so cute Zanny?" Ryzar whispered quietly into his phones mic.

Right after the big feast, the netherlings and ryzawrs immediately passed out from a food coma, so Ryzar cleaned up the dishes. Then he laid a comforter on a table and put all the netherlings and ryzawrs there. He then put the covers on top of them and wished them all a goodnight.

He then started filming a video to show how the netherlings were as he was pretty sure that Zander was too busy to video call so he just recorded a video for him.

. . . . . . . .

Zander chews his takoyaki vigorously as he watched a netherling and ryzawr cuddled up on each other.. Even if it was cute, his jealously weighed more, but it didn't mean he wasn't happy that his netherlings were happy. But why the fuck was that ryzawr cuddling his netherling?-

"Uhhh Zanny.. your drinks pouring onto your pants."

"Ahh fuck-"

Jealously really is such a fickle emotion, isn't it?

Had sm fun writing this chapter, it was so chaotic and kinda all over the place lmao. But I hope that this was a good read and have made you all even more excited for the upcoming chaps!

My white day thing will be posted a little late tomorrow btw because school has on a chokehold right now lmao. But I'll work hard!

See you guys on my next post~! Thanks for reading this far.

"Your wish is my command." A mysterious man in a brown tattered hood said as he sat on the Persian rug/carpet.

I clasped my hands fervently as the long-awaited fantasy eventually turns into reality. 'Am I really this crazy and that desperate?'

"Wait! What if I don't want to stay there and want to go back?"

The hooded man paused and smiled. "You're quite the cunning one, aren't you? In that case...all you have to do is to recall your memories and it will lead you back to the way you came from."

I frowned. "Isn't that a bit vague? Can you be more specific about it?"

The hooded mangave me a mischievous grin. "Give me your hand, you curious bunny." I reached out and he took it gently, placing a bracelet of pearl-white, white with a dangling green tassel with a gradient of burgundy at the bottom.

"What is this for?" I asked.

"Your memories are the key to unlocking the portal back into the human world and this bracelet is the gateway between the fantasy and reality. You must not lose this bracelet no matter what happens."

"Hmm...still vague, but okay." I said, wearing the bracelet and admiring the jade tassel.

The hooded man glanced at my wrist, and his golden, cat-like eyes shone in fascination. "It fits you."

"Thanks! I've always wanted to buy this merch, but thanks to you, I don't have buy one anymore. This looks really expensive...where did you get it?" I looked up and just like a mirage, he was gone.

"Eh? Where did he go?" I looked at the ground, and even his Persian rug was nowhere to be seen.

After searching around the back of the building for thirty minutes, I was about to convince myself that it was all a trick of the mind...if it weren't for the fact that I had seen him sitting there for the past three days.

Seeing him either standing or sitting leisurely, he seemed like a suspicious man begging for alms when his Persian rug looked so expensive.

Many had offered him money to buy his old, dusty rug, but each and every time he refused.

Whenever I passed by he kept complaining at how hard it was to be human again, even if it was what he wanted all along.

I used to give him food and drink whenever I passed by, instead of giving him money. And on the third day...he asked me about it.

"I just wanted to help people, that's all." I said with a smile.

He kept asking me questions, and before I knew it I had basically told him my whole life story. He seemed to express a desire to reciprocate, to do something in return to the kindness I have shown him, and these were his exact words:

"Whatever you wish...your wish is my command."

Later in the evening, I returned to my small apartment, wearily changing out of my office clothes into a more comfortable set of pajamas.

I cooked rice and prepped some Onigiri for dinner and fed my goldfish pet at the dining table, admiring it before brushing my teeth and laying in bed ready to call it a day, pulling out my phone to watch my favorite Vtuber streaming...until I fell asleep.
