Macedonia, or as most of the world call it "North Macedonia". A landlocked country here in Southeastern Europe, a small one but with various places to offer in terms of natural beauty.

We currently are taking a closer look to our protagonist, who happens to have an origin from this part of the world.

We see Dario in one of the towns on the west side of the country, Gostivar. But he wasn't alone on this venture.

This time he was accompanied by the likes of Okami, Shirogami, Mythal and Whitney. After they learned the truth, they along with the others made it their mission to join in stopping Vlad, and to not let Dario go alone from now on.

Dario: And here we are girls, home sweet home.

They were now in Gostivar's town square. Where the most noticeable building was a big church, along with other buildings such as cafes, restaurants or etc. It wasn't the flashiest of towns, but that's how most of Eastern Europe is in terms of structure.

Okami: Dario honey, dis is where ye grew up for a bit right?

Dario: Yup, this is where my mom comes from.

Okami: No offense babe, but it's-

Whitney: It's great! It looks cool, kinda reminds mae of something like old Victorian England.

Shirogami: How do ye know how Victorian England looked loik?

Whitney: I read books, duh!

Okami: Eh I was going to say it-

Mythal death glared the wolf as she smiled nervously.

Okami: It looks amazing!

Mythal: So ye mentioned yer mom roit? When can we meet her?

Dario: Hey hey no rushing we just got here girls, we'll get to her eventually.

Shirogami leaned to Dario's left arm.

Shirogami: Can we know how yer ma is like?

Dario: She's the most wonderful woman in the world. She's always there for me when dad wasn't around.

Whitney: Aww, like what is her profession?

Dario: She owns a bakery here, I especially grew up with her pastries. Like pishii, solenki, bogača and penerlii. You should all try some one day, you won't regret it.

Mythal: Does she do sweet pastries as well?

Dario: Yeah, why?

Mythal: Oh, I will ask her to make us a huge cake for our wedding in de future. I want her consent.

Okami: We came here to check if der's any signs of that bloke Vlad, not ask for her permission to marry Dario!

Dario: Girls, calm down. There's a time for that in the future I swear.

???: Swear on what?

Dario recognized that voice, it was familiar to him.

He and the Scottish girls turned their attention to the voice.

They saw a woman who was in her mid 40's, she had red orange hair like Dario's, had the same exact eye color as him which was brown. She had a white marigold on over her head, she wore a white apron, a black shirt with a blue pants and white boots.

Dario's face ranged from shocked to happy.

Dario: Maмо! (Mom!)

The hunter himself hugged his mom, the woman hugged back in joy and tears in her eyes.

Dario's mom: Синко! Шо ти текна да дојдеш? Знајш дека се вратив тука само заради гласањето. (Son, what made you come? You know I only came here because of the elections)

Dario: Знам знам, но ајде барем да си дојдам на домашен терен. Плус ми недостигаше додека бев во затвор. (I know I know, but still I come back to home turf. Plus I missed you while I was in prison)

While the two shared their family reunion, the girls couldn't help but find it adorable.

Whitney: They're so bloody cute...

Shirogami: Tell me about it lass, hehe.

Dario's mom noticed the girls and her expression changed.

Dario's mom: Дарче, кои се овие жени? (Darche, who are these women?)

Dario: Aх, ами...како да ти кажам....моите девојки. (Oh, well...how do I say this...My girlfriends.)

His mother's eyes widened, they looked like they were about to pop out from the news she has heard.

Dario turned to the girls to introduce them to his mom.

Dario: Girls, this is my mom Marija.

O/M/W/S: 'Ello/Hi/Nice to meet ye/Heya.

Dario: Мамо, запознај се со Вајолет (Okami), Скај (Mythal), Витни (Whitney) и Фумика (Shirogami), мојте партнерки. (Mom, meet Violet, Skye, Whitney and Fumika, my partners)

Mythal: It really is an honor to meet my love's mother, it truly is. *bows*

Marija was flabbergasted by this news before deciding to speak English.

Marija: So, you're with my son huh? All four of you?

Shirogami: 4? Well...more like 25 *grin*

Dario and the others: SHIRO!!!

Marija: *turns to Dario with an angry look* Ти значи се кецал со 25 разни девојки наму во Америка? Ти шо си, курвар? (So this means you fucked with 25 other girls over there in America? What are you, a manwhore?)

Dario: Знам знам, абнормално е тука. Ама знајш каква е Америка, се е подруго од тука. Но да бидеме фер, син ти знае да биде казанова и добар дечко. Ја не го третирам кецање од досада или како хоби, јас генерално ги сакам сите девојки. Од срце ти го кажувам. (I know I know, it would be abnormal here. But you know how America is like, it's way different than here. But let's be fair, your son knows how to be a casanova and a good boyfriend. I don't treat fucking to cure boredom or as a honby, I genuinely love all these girls. I'm telling you this from the heart)

Marija could only sigh before crossing her arms.

Marija: Исто како татко ти. (Just like your dad)

Dario: Не сум ја крив, крива е ДНК-та хаха. (It's not my fault, it's the DNA's haha)

Okami: Hate to intrude in yer reunion but can I ask, how did ye raise our lovely big lad here?

Marija: Oh I'll explain over for some tea.

The scene changed to then at Marija's bakery who brought tea to her son and his girls.

Marija: To answer your question from earlier Violet, I raised him well. Do they know about your dad?

Dario: Not quite but I did tell them all eventually.

Marija: Well, his dad was mostly busy before we divorced. It was hard to raise a kid whilst being single, I always had to make sacrifices for him, I wanted my son to be a man and have a bright future. He's my bright sun, my little shining star that I love and adore.

Dario: *blushed* Maмо! (Mom!)

Shirogami: Hehe, can I ask how was he like when as a kid?

Marija: Hang on I got a picture on my phone, just wait until you see him!

Dario: It's not necessary mom...*embarassed*

Marija: Tadaaa, isn't he adorable?

She showed a picture of a little Dario who was around the age of 7 as he was in a European footballer's uniform, smiling whilst holding the ball on his left arm.

The girls gasped and awwwed to see how adorable he was at such a young age.

Mythal: Awwwww, my big kin is adorable as a child?

Okami: Awww, who knew you were such a little munchkin~.

Whitney: You're so adorbs.

Shirogami: I could eat you up, cutie pie. *pinches Dario's cheek*

Dario on the other hand was getting flustered before removing Shirogami's hand.

Dario: Mамо ма, престани! Не сум веќе мал! (Mom, stop! I'm not young anymore!)

He was about to drink his tea but he noticed it was more of a darker color.

Dario: Еј мамо, водата загадена ли е?

Marija: Де да видам. (Let me check)

She went to the sink and turned on the water as it had a bit of a darker shade to it. Dario and the others saw it which made them gasp.

Marija: What?

Dario: Mom...I think it's best you don't drink or use the water, I don't want you contaminating yourself.

Whitney: Ya I agree, like in America uh, Mythal here got sick after she accidentally drank contaminated water.

Mythal: Totally! Hehe...

Marija: If you say so.

Dario: Anyways we have to go.

Marija: But why? You just got here.

Okami: We know Ms Vasilov but we gotta go uhh...

Shirogami: Buy some souvenirs!

Okami: Yeah, ye know for memories of visiting this wonderful place.

Dario: We'll be back mom, we promise.

Marija: You better, otherwise no cake for you tonight$

Dario: Got it! Let's go girls.

They quickly ran out of the bakery as they started panicking.

Dario: We're too late! They reached the water here.

Mythal: What do we do now? Yer people moight be at de risk of death and Vlad could have more to his army.

Dario: Our best bet is to go to Vrutok. It's the source of the largest river in my country, Vardar.

Okami: Where is that?

Dario: It's in the National park Mavrovo, my hometown is happens to be close to it. We need to get there ASAP!

Whitney: Right, let's go there now.

They all turned in their true forms before Mythal stood next to Dario so that he could climb on her back and ride her.

The group were now on their way to Mavrovo National park.

Meanwhile, the scene changed to Vrutok, the source of Vardar's waters. It was contaminated.

Lugosi: Haha, the water's contaminated! Now all of those meatsacks are about to die from either that or from thirst.

Vlad: That's not the only reason why we came here for? We're going to be excavating and digging the ground for chromite.

Faust: Oh, is that a part of your master plan now monsiuer Vlad?

Vlad: It is, you seem to be rather sarcastic about it.

Faust: I was promised chaos, disarray and FUN. Not to dig like my life depended on it.

Vlad: Well I guess you won't have an issue joining Duke in blocking entrances to our excavation site.

Archduke: Eh?! It's Archduke!

Vlad: I don't want animals OR especially humans interfering in this. Thus why I am sending you two to handle that by blocking the west side of the national park.

Archduke: Ok, but what about east side?

Vlad: THAT is being taken care of by another friend of ours. Now get going.

Archduke: After all of this I get Belgium right?

Vlad: Were you deaf before? I meant what I said, or do I need to remind you of what I meant last time? *got close to Archduke*

Archduke: *scared* Y-yes! On the way, come on Faust.

Faust: Whatever, finissons-en avec ça...(Let's just get this over with)

The two left, Vlad turned to the others.

Vlad: You three, start digging. I'm going to check on our new friend's progress so far.

Jäger: Yes my lord.

He attached one of his antlers and it turned into a shovel, he also gave another antler shovel to Renfield.

Lugosi: Hello? What am I supposed to dig with?

Vlad: Use your claws, aren't you a lynx? They dig through snow with their claws. *left*

Lugosi was grumpy before silently mocking Vlad before turning into his true form to dig with Jäger and Renfield.

The scene changed to Dario and the girls who were still running and on their way to the National park. But suddenly the wind got a little chilly.

Dario: *felt cold* Brrr...I knew Mavrovo was cold, but this is beyond the limit. It's fucking freezing.

Okami: What could dose fuckers be up to?

Suddenly they saw massive stalagmites of ice, frozen ground and snow on their path. Mythal nearly slipped from the icy ground.

Whitney: Careful Myth, ye nearly fell off.

Shirogami: I think we made it!

They saw a sign with the captions "Mavrovo National Park" entry, they were going to enter inside only to be stopped by a frozen lightning bolt hitting the ground, forcing the group to stop in their tracks.

Dario: Now what?

Suddenly more freeze rays were fired to which all of them started running around and dodging the shots.

???: Ahahaha, what a bunch of running bitches!

Okami stopped.

Okami: Who are ya calling bitch, ya lousy fuckbag!

Whitney: Up there!

She pointed at an otter who was colored blue like the ice around them and had red eyes, the tip of its tail was frozen like an icicle.

Mythal: An otter?

Morozko: Not just any otter. I'm fucking Morozko, the greatest otter to ever live in this stupid National park! And today you trespassers are my bitches!

Dario: Let me guess, it doesn't take a genius to figure out you work for Vlad.

Morozko: Oh, I met a black wolf like him when he arrived. He explained to me what happened to the water and offered me a spot in his group or something, but I don't care. I just wanna cause some chaos and destruction haha!

Shirogami: Wow, not cool dude. *smug*

Morozko fired a freezing beam at her by the white fox trophy dodged the attack.

Shirogami: Nah nah! Ya missed loser!

Morozko grit his sharp teeth before he turned in his human form. He was now pale skinned with red eyes, he had blue spiky hair, his attire consisted of a white jacket and a grey shirt with black pants. On the middle of the shirt there was a blue snowflake imprinted on it.

Morozko: Hahaha! Once I'm through turning this park into a frozen wasteland, I'll this entire continent into a giant popsicle. Why you may ask? Because I can hahahahaha!!

Okami: And here I thought Mythal was hit in de head.

Mythal: *glares at Okami* Watch it...

Dario: Mythal! Look out.

A frozen lightning bolt was coming their way. The red deer launched Dario across the scene where he landed in the snow.

Mythal on the other hand got frozen, in solid ice.

Everyone gasped in shock.

Dario: Mythal! NOOOO!!!

Whitney: WHAT DE FUCK?!

Morozko laughed more.

Morozko: Hahaha! That was fun, sooner or later I'll turn that Vlad guy into an ice cube. That tar crying faker's got nothing on me-

???: You're going to do what now?

Morozko's eyes widened before he turned to see Vlad towering over him, the otter chuckled in fear.

Morozko: I uhh...nothing! Nothing at all hehe...I'm ready to serve sir!

Dario: You!

Vlad: Yes Dario, it's me!

Okami: So dis is Vlad huh? You were right lad, he's ugly to look at.

Vlad: *Evil grin* Awww you flatter me dear, compliments appreciated. I see you met Morozko, I must say you're doing a great job covering this area in ice.

Morozko: Heh, too easy for me!

Vlad: I didn't ask.

Dario: What do you want now Vlad?! What are you doing here in my home?!

Vlad: Oh so this is your home huh? I must say I was expecting a warm welcome if you may will, now I remember why I want you humans gone.

Shirogami: Warm welcome? You're just freezing Dario's home and you're surprised he's giving you the cold shoulder?

Vlad: That'll get you nowhere fox. Trust me, you're only making yourself look bad by the second.

Morozko: Ya, so shut your yap and let the boss-man talk! Besides, there's no way for you and your motley crew to enter as long as I'm around to create barriers of ice haha.

Dario approached and touched Mythal's ice cube frozen in ice,

Okami: Oh we'll give you a warm welcome alright, we'll enter that park and give you a pummeling you won't forget! We'll find a way in.

Vlad: *chuckled* You can try, but I would advise you to flee, because sooner you'll be far outnumbered and torn into pieces...

Morozko: All sides where the park entrances lead to are covered so that none of you pipsqueaks enter while we're working.

Vlad: *to Morozko* Finish them.

Vlad turns around walking away, Morozko grinned before cracking his knuckles.

Dario: Crap....

The scene changed back to the trio of Lugosi, Renfield and Jäger who were digging. Suddenly the lynx had an idea as he stopped digging and smirked.

Lugosi: I'm not digging.

Jäger: Vlad said to dig.

Lugosi: I know but I'm gonna go and check on Faust and Duke to see their side of the job.

He then ran off.

Jäger: Hey! Get back here and dig before I hunt you down!

Lugosi: Ha! As if you could! *laughs*

Renfield put his hand on the moose's shoulder as he shook his head, meaning it was not worth it.

Jäger: Grr...one day you annoying childish blowhard, you will recieve your comeuppance. Then we'll see who's having the final laugh....

To be continued....

OK guys, this was chapter 107.

Peace out!
