The scene changed to a nearby hotel in the national park. We see the group talking in the hotel lobby.

Haaland: So let me get this straight, you're saying that there's a plague that's happening in Europe right now and no one knows about it?

Dario: Yeah, Rakezh told me about it earlier.

Rakezh: When I was in Spain that is.

Dario: He told me about it earlier when were hunting and then all went haywire when we encountered Fenrir.

Haaland: Oh, you guys can thank Vidarr here for helping us out.

He turned to Vidarr who was still in his muskox form as the footballer caressed the wild trophy's head, to which the bovine licked Haaland's hand back.

Dario: Listen, we somehow got to contain this from Norway getting hit with a plague like this again.

Haaland: Hmmm, I can raise a few strings and inform the media and maybe even the Norwegian government to raise awareness throughout Europe.

Dario: That sounds great!

Rakezh: Smart move there, we gotta contain this shit somehow.

Dario: You have our thanks Haaland, I don't know how I can repay you for this help of generosity.

Haaland: It's no big deal, besides we are in this together. I don't want to see my people turn into those zombies.

Meanwhile outside the hotel we see Scruffy and Gemini who were in their human forms talking with Hel who refused to go inside.

Scruffy: What do you mean you can't enter as a human?

Hel: How do I put this...I don't want humans to freak out when they look at me.

Gemini: I get your face isn't in the best of conditions but how bad can it be?

Hel: Well if you must know...

She then turned into her human form, she was now a a girl that was at least 5'1, had short brown hair, emerald green eyes, fair skin. She wore a choker around her neck, a red and white fur parka with exposed shoulders and reached down to her thighs, with brown boots.

But her distinguishing feature was the fact that the left side of her face was missing its skin, it was all mostly just flesh and tissue.

The girls tried their best not to get sick, Gemini smiled lightly from all the uncomfortable feelings she was having.

Gemini: You don't look half bad if you ask me.

Hel: You think so?

Gemini: Ya, you just need to...how do I say without hurting you....

Scruffy: Ya you look amazing...*forced smile* Gimme a quick sec ok?

She quickly rushed inside the hotel and ran passed the guys who were talking.

Dario: Hey Scruffy, what's up?

Scruffy: I think I'm gonna barf! *left*

Rakezh: Heh, weak stomach.

Dario knew what was happening, he got up.

Dario: I'll be back, there's something I gotta do...*leaves*

Gemini: And as we're speaking, all you need are some bandages, yeah! Some bandages and that way no one will know how injured you got.

Hel: *sigh* It's no use Gemini...

She sat on the ground with her legs crossed whilst sporting a sad look.

Hel: No matter how much I try to hide it...it won't work and it'll all fall apart...Worst of all I'll not find a mate due to every male labeling me as ugly...

Gemini: D-don't say that! You're beautiful you're just...-

The doors opened and Dario came outside to see them.

Dario: Hey girls what's up?

Gemini: Oh, hey Dario. It's just Hel doesn't wanna go inside because....

Dario looks at the sad lynx trophy, he gets an idea why.

Dario: No need to explain. Can you go inside?

Gemini: Why?

Dario: Cause Rakezh was feeling a bit cold and-

The wolf girl had a sassy smirk.

Gemini: Is that so huh? Well then I guess I'll go and warm him up~.

She playfully winked at Dario before going inside the hotel. It was just the hunter and the lynx.

Dario: Hey there, you alright?

Hel: Wish I was...

Dario: *sits next to her* Listen I get the issue here...you're ashamed to go inside huh?

Hel: Go figure Dario...

Dario: Listen, there's nothing to be ashamed of who you truly are. Not everyone are built to be strong, tall, smart or least of all to be pretty. We are all different and beautiful in our own ways Hel.

The lynx looked at Dario, being interested to what he has to say.

Dario: Just because your face is missing half of its skin doesn't automatically make you a monster. If I were in your shoes I'd be proud to wear that, there are some praised for it in the human side.

Hel: Huh, really now?

Dario: I'm not kidding, it's usually in the form of scars from war or when a wild animal lets say a bear attacked you and you managed to flee to safety. The point is, you're not ugly as you claim. You're beautiful.

Hel blushed a bit from the remark.

Hel: Beautiful?

Dario: Yes. You. Are. Beautiful! In your own special way. Being special doesn't make you normal, it's what makes you stand out from the rest, making you unique from others. Like a diamond in the rough.

The lynx trophy smile and had a small blush on her right cheek.

Hel: Gee...that's probably the nicest thing any male has told me so far...

Dario: Vidarr doesn't talk right?

Hel: Never ever.

Dario: Well I'm not surprised that I'm a first.

The lynx girl giggled.

Dario: By the way...How did you get half of your face ripped off?

Hel: Oh....Fenrir did it, before he became a plague carrier that is. When I was young.

Dario: Sheesh, glad that savage is put down.

Hel: Thanks to Vidarr and the blonde one.

Dario: Yeah.

Hel got closer to him.

Hel: Can you be honest with me about one thing.

Dario: Yeah?

Hel: Am I REALLY beautiful as how you claim?

Dario: We already established that. Yes you are. You're so beautiful that even I'd have no issue dating you-

Hel gasped in surprise.

Hel: You'd...have no issue dating me...?

Dario: It was a figure of speech-

Hel: But what about the wolverine girl that's with you?

Dario: I uhh....I feel like this is being rushed.

Hel: My humble apologies human....

She looked away, but she smiled at the idea of them dating.

Dario: You're not the only lynx girl that I met.

Hel: A rival hu-I mean, you know one?

Dario: Ya, her name is Whitney, she's Scottish.

Hel: Ah, from the British Isles. I am aware of those types.

Dario: Oh come on, they're not all angry and talking loud or with weird noses and teeth. She's pleasant to be around.

Hel: I thought the wolverine was your girlfriend unless....Oh....

She had a smirk.

Hel: So you're a ladies man? Hm Mr Dario?

Dario: Well if you put it that way, then yeah. I know my way with girls.

The lynx girl giggled.

The scene changed back to the lobby, we see Haaland and Vidarr who were confused as they starred at Rakezh and Gemini having a banter.

Gemini: Oh come on Raky, your friend told me that you were feeling cold?

Rakezh: Who Dario? Nah he's bluffing!

Gemini: More you are, why not let wolfy warm you and your frigid heart~.

She hugged him behind with an UwU face, making the leopard growl more as he was fuming in anger.

Rakezh: I swear down, I will eviscerate that face of yours.

Gemini: Only if you have guts~.

Haaland and Vidarr look at one another.

Haaland: I'm glad me and my girlfriend aren't like them. What about you, do you have a mate?

Vidarr shakes his head in a no.

Then Scruffy came back as she was groaning.

Scruffy: Man that felt worse than the roller coaster...

Then the doors opened as Dario and Hel came in, with Hel's left side of her face now bandaged thanks to Dario.

Dario: Alright fellas, ya ready to go-What are you two doing?

Rakezh: You and I are GONNA have a talk about this!

Gemini: Stop resisting the hug.

Scruffy: Oh hey, you covered it up.

Hel: Yes, but when we get home I will remove it. Dario told me that I should be proud of what I am, I don't care if I look ugly to others. Because he has seen my true beauty.

Scruffy looked at Dario with a smirk and cocked a brow as she knew about his tricks, the hunter only shrugged.

Dario: Anywhoo, Haaland you'll take care of things right?

Haaland: Absolutely, I am keeping my word and will spread the news throughout Europe. And in case something happens, I will let you know.

Dario: Great, well gang are you ready to head back home?

Rakezh: Definitely.

Scruffy: Yeah.

Hel: Buckle up because another passenger is coming.

Gemini: You're coming too? Sweet? Got a reason?

Hel: I'll figure out eventually. You coming Vidarr?

Vidarr shook his head in a no.

Hel: But why?

Vidarr stood his ground and was next to Haaland.

Dario: I think he wants to stay with Haaland.

Haaland: Yeah, he can be my loyal pet.

Rakezh: And they say a dog is a man's best friend huh...

Gemini: Ever tried if a wolf is a leopard's best friend? Hmm~?

Rakezh: *groan* Shut up!

End.

OK guys, this was chapter 101.

Peace out!
