'This is a forest, so why can't I find any signs of Wood Nymphs? What a waste of time,' Simel though to himself, sliming along the forest floor.

He had been hired by Dark Master, alongside others, for something of a contest. Dark Master sought a collection of every type of Nymph that existed - Simel had no idea what for, but they were apparently to be hypnotised only - an easy enough task for him and the third white gemstone eye he possessed. Still, a job was a job. Even if nothing was happening.

Suddenly the tedium was broken by a screech and a descending purple-haired female shape leaping down from a tree with an axe. The warrior-woman swung, and he dropped to the floor in a puddle, reforming a few meters away from her.

"Alright, monster, you've taken your last splat into our forest! My name is Am Lee, and as the greatest warrior of the Forest Tribe I will defeat you!" She proclaimed.

He looked her over. An axe, not a problem for him if he kept the red gemstone in his chest safe. No sign of magical ability, but mentioning a whole tribe... They could be useful. He was only one slime, after all, and this seemed to be a large forest...

"That's rather rude. Why do you assume I am hostile?" Simel asked.

"Um, well, uh... Are you?" She said in confusion.

"Not any more, no," he said as he activated the hypnotic effects of his white gemstone.

"Well, that's... ghu..." 

Am Lee had fallen almost right into entrancement. She did not move an inch as Simel slid over to, and then utterly enveloped her. Within his slimy form, the hypnotised warrior-woman's body began to change. As her clothing dissolved, her skin changed to green and transparent. Soon, she slid out from his body, converted into a slime-girl, obediently enslaved to him.

"Now, where is the rest of your tribe? You and I have some Wood Nymphs to track down, and your friends could perhaps be useful, as could you."

The slime-girl nodded.

"Follow me, my master... my tribe is this way," she said.

As his new slave melted down into a puddle and began moving out, Simel followed and thought he'd struck it lucky. Even if he couldn't find any nymphs in this forest, at least a few new allies would be useful for later.
