Showing uncharacteristic boldness, Michelle moved closer to the group. "His legal standing as a member of an independent race must be agreed upon before he leaves this room. This was the original and primary goal for this meeting, was it not?" The shy woman trembled slightly as she asserted herself.
Queen Mab glared at the Arachnid, but under the scrutiny of the room's occupants, especially Stanley, she begrudgingly nodded. "Agreed."
Michelle pulled a scroll from a tube strapped to her thorax and quickly filled in the date and Stanley's race on the appropriate line, holding the document flat between her front two legs. She looked at Stanley with a hopeful smile and turned the document toward him.
He discovered he felt more relaxed around Michelle, so he moved to her and took the pen from her hand to sign the document. She gave him another smile as she accepted it back.
The Arachnid looked to the Queen, who stiffly moved forward and signed the document, too.
Lise-Anne and Rand added their signatures as witnesses, and Michelle tucked the scroll back into the tube for safekeeping.
"How long will Stanley be in Ireland?" Lise-Anne asked.
"We must gather the most skilled Fae we have to build him a glamor. It will take a week—two at most. I do not give up the lives of my people willingly. We will find a way to do this as safely as possible," the Queen stated with finality.
Stanley was collecting the rest of his dropped clothes into his arms and looked at her with trepidation. He didn't want anyone to die!
"Michelle, Rand. Would you please accompany Stanley on this journey?" Lise-Anne asked. Rand nodded immediately, but Michelle looked a little surprised to be asked. She finally nodded. She handed the scroll to the Security Minister, who tucked it away. The fairy hesitated for just a moment, then looked to Baba Yaga.
"There is still the outstanding question of how you rescued a Satyr from so far in the pas—" Lise-Anne began but stopped abruptly when the witch glared at her with murder in her eyes.
"Baba?" Stanley said cautiously to defuse the situation. The old woman looked him in the eye, took a deep breath then snorted.
"I will not speak of this. Never ask again," the witch said with cold finality.
Queen Mab wasn't finished, however. "His horns!" she sighed with deep satisfaction.
Baba's eyes shot to hers, but she allowed a slight nod to the woman.
The others obviously still had questions but clearly knew it was best not to ask.
Lise-Anne, Clive, and Isaac nodded to the group, bowed to the Queen, activated their glamor disguises, and left with the scroll.
"There is still the matter of the Human interlopers. Well, the live one," Mab said. "The dead will be immolated once we leave the chamber."
Baba went to Camila and knelt down beside the woman. She touched the detective's temple, and a bump and bruise suddenly formed. "He will have a mild concussion. Tell him you found him in the stairwell where he must have slipped and fallen. Tell him you were bringing Stanley to meet his family for the first time, and he went to visit them." She looked to Mr. Duncan. "You! Furry one! Change back and carry this man back to the concourse."
Roy moved forward and lifted the detective gently in his arms.
Seeing this as permission to re-engage their glamor spells, everyone who had one activated it and made their way out of the clearing towards the hallway.
On their way, they noticed the shriveled and dried husk of what might have once been a man. It lay discarded on the floor by the bushes. They shared uneasy glances. Obviously, this was the work of Baba Yaga, as she was the last one in. They scurried past.
Once everyone left the chamber, the shame-faced and groggy guards closed the huge doors.
Queen Mab placed her hand on the door and spoke the words of power. The memory inside the room collapsed in on itself, squeezing tighter and tighter within a bubble of magic until the contents flash ignited. The temperature continued to climb until all matter in the bubble was converted into a ball of plasma. This energy was moved into an adjoining facility where the power trickled back into the building's power grid to reduce their electric bill by the amount the hidden basement levels consumed.
Camila, Marisa, and Sigrid were hesitant to leave Stanley, but Baba pointed them toward the exit, so they knew they likely didn't have much time before the detective woke. They quickly gave Stanley kisses, then rushed away after Mr. Duncan.
Before disappearing around the corner, Marisa looked back and opened her sight to him once more. She saw the bright path was much more present than before. She knew he would have the path of death linked to him until they found a way to break the curse.
Baba swatted Stanley's face to get his attention, and he looked into her eyes. He could read her question there. He just nodded, so she smiled and walked away.
Stanley was left with Queen Mab, her remaining agent, Rand, and Michelle. He looked to the Queen. "How will I get out of the building looking like this?"
"We're going to a private underground parking lot in the adjoining building. Stay close, and I'll shield you within my aura."
He nodded, and she hooked her arm through his. They walked down a corridor leading in the opposite direction the others went.
"I don't have my passport!" Stanley exclaimed.
The Queen smiled indulgently at him. "No need to worry about that. I'll get us there."
He looked at her in surprise, and she smiled gleefully.
"Stanley, we are going to have such a lovely time while you are visiting," the Queen purred.
He glanced at Michelle and Rand, and they gave him reassuring smiles. But they couldn't feel how good the Queen's body felt against his, sense how her perfume was making his head spin, or hear how her breathing was beginning to quicken.
He was in trouble.
Chapter 32
Sandy dragged the squeaking grocery cart behind her, cursing the greedy, sadistic bastards who designed them to fall apart so quickly.
She flashed back to the first conversation she'd had with Stanley, and her mood dipped closer to despair. She fought her grief back and blinked away the impending tears.
It had been a little more than a month since he went to visit family overseas. Marisa had called to let her know he'd be away for a short time.
Then, a week later, the beauty appeared on her doorstep. This time, the message was he wasn't coming back. There'd been an accident—
Sandy sucked back a gasp as her emotions threatened to get loose.
The cart's wheel chose that moment to break loose and roll off into the street to be crushed under the wheels of a bus.
She stood on the sidewalk, frozen by the sheer fucking mean spirit of fate.
She tried one more step, but a grocery cart with just one wheel was more like an anchor. She'd loaded down on food as she wanted to cook for her friends to lift her spirits.
Fuck it!
She kicked the remaining wheel until it broke free. Then she gripped the cart's handle and dragged the metal cage, scraping along the last block to her building. She pulled the bags out of the broken cart at the front door and struggled to maneuver herself and the heavy, awkward bags inside.
"May I lend you a hand?"
Sandy yelped and dropped one of her bags, but a hand shot forward and caught it before it hit the floor.
She remained frozen as the large man collected all the bags from her numb hands. She couldn't help but stare at the stranger with the familiar features.
He was at least six feet tall with broad shoulders, strong arms, and big hands. Long, soft brown hair fell to his shoulders. His tailored shirt showed off his trim waist, and the black pants hinted at powerful legs.
But his face held her eyes, making her unable to look away. So familiar but... different.
"Stanley?" she squeaked quietly.
The man shook his head sadly. "Sorry, no. I'm Henry." His expression wobbled a little. "Stanley... was my brother."
Sandy suddenly realized how ridiculous she sounded. This man... this beautiful, large man couldn't possibly be Stanley. But his brother? Yes, there was definitely a strong family resemblance.
She realized she was standing in the doorway, gaping at the man effortlessly carrying all her grocery bags. "Oh! I'm so sorry! I'm Sandy! I was—"
"A good friend of Stanley's. Yes, he told me. I hope... we can be good friends too," Henry said with a hopeful smile. His voice was similar to Stanley's but deeper.
Sandy's expression opened with a wide smile. She nodded and made her way to the elevators. They entered, and she pressed four.
"Are... are you here to collect his things?" Sandy said with just a little pain in her voice. Henry's face showed sympathetic pain of his own.
"No, I'm moving in. I've been offered Stanley's condo and position with VRL."
"Oh!" Sandy exclaimed with wide eyes. "Are you good with technology too!"
Henry smiled self-consciously and looked away shyly. "VRL thinks so," he said.
Sandy's breath caught in her chest at the gesture. The man shared so much with Stanley! Her heart ached at his loss, but this meeting felt like he was still somehow with her, watching over her.
She opened her door, and he followed her inside to place the groceries on her kitchen counter.
He looked around with a smile. "You have a lovely place!"
She blushed. "Thank you!" She had an idea. "Would you like to join me and my friends for dinner tonight? It's just a casual get-together. They'd love to meet you!"
Henry seemed to think about it for a moment, then he nodded with a smile. "I'd like that."
Sandy smiled widely, then blushed at his obvious look of delight. "Come by at seven?" she asked, looking up at him through her bangs.
"I'll be here," he replied with another smile.
She followed him back to her front door. When he turned to say goodbye, she spontaneously leaned forward and gathered him into a hug.
Henry froze for just a moment then he hugged her, too, with his strong arms.
She swooned just a little at the feel of his big, hard muscles.
Blonde hair swept forward to envelop and caress Henry's head.
Sandy giggled as she pulled back to collect her unruly hair. "I'm so sorry about that! I don't know what gets into my hair sometimes."
"It's no problem," he chuckled. He caught a lock of the shining hair in his fingers and pressed it against his lips with a gentle smile.
Sandy gasped as pleasure cascaded through her body from her scalp to her toes. Her mind flashed back to Stanley's kiss, and the memory warmed her heart.
"Until tonight," he said as he slipped out the door.
Sandy leaned back against her door and hugged herself as she bathed in the afterglow of his kiss.
She suddenly recalled who else, or rather what else, Henry reminded her of!
Grinning madly, she couldn't wait for her friends to meet her new neighbor!

weirdly weak start, and ive got valid criticism of several things, but pretty fun when it got rolling
Too many holes in the plot to maintain interest, too predictable to develop any intrigue.
Had to struggle to get to page 15.
Wow, a truly masterpiece here. Not read for the continuation yet, will savor this tale for some weeks, Stanley will be in my dreams! :*
What imagination and storytelling. I can't believe the plot outline you developed to fill in this tale of discovery. That you for creating a parallel world and beings provide escapism from a harsh reality to the myths and legends of old.
Wow ! This was so well written and engaging that I bing-read the whole thing lol. When I read the title/sub text, I expected the MC to end up in a magic world full of satyrs. But instead, he's the one who's a satyr. Very nice.
I'd love to see a crossover story between this universe and the Horny Monsters universe.
The fae, succubi, satyrs, kitsune, arachnids, goblins, etc
I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through. Amazingly well crafted, and a truly enjoyable read.
3 days , almost non stop reading , with sometimes a translator needed... i'm french
it got me so thrilled
The second story I've read from you, and the second story I've ever read on Lit that thru simply don't allow enough stars for! I did notice that you called Camilla the CIO twice instead of CEO, but that will only reduce my opinion of your masterful skill from 11 stars down to 10.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (with some explicatives added, of course)
Jesus, what did your parents feed you on that opened the door to such a wonderful imagination. Absolutely out of this world lol. Need more stars. Thanks
Absolutely delightful tale. An exemplary illustration of the genre. This was my second reading. Kudos to the author.
Damn, what a brilliant Author! Second to None! Been over a year since I've had the pleasure of reading this series. Love it to pieces! 5 BIG ASS FUCKING HUGE FLAMING NOVA STARS!
Stanley, the Last Satyr, ... the Witch Baba Yaga, ... the Queen of the Fairies, Mab, ... all of the people of the Manhattan Financial house, VRL, ... Stanley's friends and neighbors, .... and many more, ... this is an excellent opening story to a wonderful series that was a joy to read the first time, and it is an exceptional tale to reread, ... BurntRedstone wished to try his hand at writing a magic and monsters tale, and he has more than just succeeded, he has set new standards for these types of stories, .... I think you could safely say that I liked it, .... ;-) ttfn
A tall order of orgasms for our resident Queen Witch, grandma YaGa!!!! Love her.
Tell me in this story or rather particular universe Vampire or born or made, because Meixiu said she was gifted as a child by her parents or they were just adopted parents.
This Baba Yaga looks like more powerful than Gandalf and Dumbledore, but dark.
Stanley now Henry,Paloma now Marsa,Camila,Roy,Sigrid,Baba Yaga,Walter Zhou,Queen Mab,Sandy,Meixui,Roger,Dayshia,Tish,Felix,Siobahn,Inspector Harmon,and Inspector Morris,oh and Yuko,Younger Sister,and Mom.
Now it wasn't explained what lingering effects Sandy would have from eating Stanleys cum off Marisa's finger but could that mean Sandy now has magical abilities since her hair can sense Stanley's presence when he is close to Sandy.
Also about Paloma/Marisa obviously has feelings for Stanley and maybe even loves him despite her being a Succubus,somehow I think Marisa could see spending the rest of her life with Stanley/Henry.
Baba Yaga granted is a hard-ass bitch,but for Stanley she loves and protects him at any cost,but her being a Witch and a powerful one at that is pretty much the scariest woman you never want to come across,oh and it wasn't discussed but when she showed up behind Detective Harmon after she supposedly ate Ulysses and threw up his husk and bones did that mean she ate him.Damn that Woman is scary as shit.
Sigrid,and Camila both seem more like friends with benefits with Stanley than actual love interests.Roy on the other hand is seen as a Father Figure to Stanley since he looks so much like his Dad.
Now for Meixiu it was unfortunate she spent a life of slavery to Walter Zhou,but for her to bite Stanley so she could escape was completely justified,and Stanley being the sweetest person,satyr there is forgave Meixiu,so I take it that Meixiu will forever retain her child appearence since she is a vampire.Ultimately sin Sigrid and them rescued Meixiu she now is free,and for that I am happy and hope she now lives a peaceful life free of Walter Zhou who is now dead like he belongs.
Finally back to Marisa and Sandy,but could they also have occassional funtime in the future especially with Stanley/Henry,and could Henry in human form be with Sandy since his two forms have different levels,that would be so Awesome.
It really threw me off when you had Camila being referred to as the CIO multiple times when Stanleys neighbors were looking for him in the office building.
I'm not a CIO, but I've done just about all of the tasks you had Stanley going through, throughout my career. I'm thinking its safe to assume that you're in MIS/IT/InfoSec? That said, not only did I enjoy the story lines and the interaction between the characters, but I also like how you wove tech into the story line realistically Outstanding!
Rereading this for the second time. The writing is still fine, the characters are still interesting, and the worldbuilding going on is still amazing! Good work!
This is maybe the third time i've read this but i'm reading the whole thing again to refresh my mind for the new part i'm (im)patiently waiting to be updated lol
What's the difference between good storytelling and good writing? A good storyline has consistent continuity, creating and developing the characters and their interactions. Good writing also makes it easily readable. That's why correct language-sensitive spelling, grammar, punctuation are all so important. They develop the inflections, pauses, even the accents of the spoken storyline and dialects of the actors. If you want to self edit, read your story aloud. Do the characters just ramble on without inflection so a listener/reader can't tell the difference between a parenthetical remark or a compound sentence? I am an inveterate reader; I like to read the good stories which are well-written, but have never elected to listen to any of the audios published on Lit.
I truly enjoyed this story so much; I went to Wikipedia to research a lot of the mythology, which made it even more enjoyable for me to see how realistic this story really is. I liked the character development along with the early introduction of unexplained events followed later in the course of the story by disclosure of the details clarifying earlier results. One glaring error to me based upon the story in the Manhattan region was describing the path train which we all know must be identified as the PATH train (Port Authority Trans Hudson.) Otherwise typographically, pretty good, but like most Lit authors, could be much better with attention to proper punctuation to make it more readable.
... oh, and I trust that some of your many fans wrote you regarding the using of CIO several times when you meant to type CEO, (five?) oopsies, ... oh well, no one is perfect, ... ;-) TTFN
,,, also: regarding ieatpussylikepeaches of 4 months ago, ... I really love that name, outstanding and very creative, ... ;-) TTFN
A wonderful installment, but you killed off (kind of) the lead character, ... another writer once complained that because he actually knew a great deal about the background in the story he was writing, it made the job much more difficult for him and took way longer, ... you said writing about magic and its creatures was new for you, so I hope this story flowed easily for you, and you will keep writing more (of Stanley's brother Henry), I enjoyed it a lot, ... thank you for sharing, ... ;-) TTFN
Yes absolutely a WOW ...... This story is definitely leveling other famous authors, ok the sex is just for us lit readers, but the storyline and the writing quality, the character building and all those details and nifty crooks, man this is a masterful crafted tale
Fabulous adventures extraordinary dramatic
Hope there is a second part
Fibe stars are not enough so ten will it be 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🍀🦄
My only real complaint with this wonderful story is the pacing. I never understood why authors feel like they have to pack the entirety of a story into a few months. The way its described, everything that Stanley experienced (which was a metric fuck-ton) happened over the course of 2-3 months. The enormity of this adventure would have been better served with, at minimum, a 6 month timeline or more. Especially for the progression of the relationships.
That said though, this author continues to delight me with his talent and imagination. Its a crime that we have to wait so long in between chapters due to the fact that he has so many incredible series' he has to work on.
Wow! I am impressed with your writing script and how well you defined your characters and made them come to life. I can’t wait to continue the journey. Thank you for your efforts and sharing your story with us. Five!
BK
I loved this story’s pace and romance. BurntRedstone, allow me to say: Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Titian, MichelAngelo used their paintbrushes to create their magic for us, you use your pen today us into your world of wonder.
So perfectly balanced, word wise and perfectly edited too. No unnecessary words or sentences or silly grammar ‘faux pass’, which would detract us from the story. Kudos, super kudos. Job well done, as far as I am concerned.
Very descriptive without slipping into the pitfall of becoming raunchy. I kept reading because the story never deteriorated into heavy fuck scenes in every paragraph. That tends to become boring really fast.
This was my page turning story and I didn’t like to see it end. I am hooked into the lives of Marisa, Sigrid, Camilla and Stanly/Henry. Please spoil us with more snippets of the mundane (not really :-) ) life of our heroes.
I love these characters, they are interesting, be they Hidden Race or human.
This is story telling on the level of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter … The way you use words, it’s like I am standing next to the characters as they interact with each other.
Please give us more, more, more, pretty please 3>
Greetings from NovaM
LOVED IT!!! just a note for when this series is edited before being published in book form, ... there were a couple of places, a chapter or two apart where Camela, VRL's CEO, was mistakenly referred to as the CIO, Stanley's title. Your stories editing is most awesome, almost no typos or mistakes at all, so this stood out to me, ... thanks for sharing, ... and your take on the world of magic and myth is wonderful! ;-) TTFN
Loved it. Sorta reminds me of the Novel "Riddle of Stars", by Patricia McKillip. Brilliant Author, like BurntRedStone! Thank you for this first chapter! 5 BIG FAT FLAMING STARS!
Wow!! What a tale! I'm totally in awe of writers who form a tale in their minds, add characters, add detailed dialog and then mold it into a tale to flush out the vision in their mind. This is the second story I have read on this sight. It is one of the best fantasy tales I've ever read.
Honestly really good story, but so frustrating that no one ever has any accountability. The only reason I’m saying this is probably because it was so much better than the average story on here that I’m actually holding it accountable, but goddamn it could just as easily be called “3 succubi and a Valkyrie ruin a mans life, then it works out”
I was delighted to find this new installment and have been thrilled by the journey it delivered. Had a good laugh from the conclusion:-)
I'm strongly against the concept of spoon feeding the plot, but I managed to miss the mechanism by which Henry kept wielding after healing from the lightning. I may have to start from the beginning again to see if I can work it out.
What a cracking read! 100% 5⭐️ Quality!
I’ll echo the comments re the length, when it’s this good, why make it shorter? My only question really is, why a Satyr? So many other magical creatures out there to choose from and BurntRedstone goes for Mr Tumnus older, sexier, brother…..
this story is a masterpiece, excellent reading, I can't wait to read more. Thank you.
Wow, bravo. That was a fun read! TO people who comment "long" please grow a pair and be thankful. To put a full 7 course meal in a single lit post is awesome - way nicer to read than clicking through 9 zillion web chapters.
And to the author, my deepest gratitude! On every level, this was a great read!
Another GREAT one! Looking forward to read the other chapters! Thank-you so much for your writing talent. It is so much appreciated!
