Read chapter 57 of I Became My Vampire Witch Character by Kurayami on NovelPedia.
It only took a couple of weeks for Ella and the gang to reach the desert. Each night beneath the stars was more time for her to explore Naela's body and a chance for her body to be explored. Ella had no idea that certain parts of her were hot spots, but Naela found them fast. The wyvern had a way of making Elanore sing. Getting busy with her wyvern wasn't the only thing she did in her free time. Every day, she had Naela go out to hunt for herself and the wolves, and each day that happened Elanore spoke to her items. Not only that, she was trying to find a way to make Naela's dagger special. Though, no matter how many items she found in the woods, none of them fit the bill for what she imagined. And she'd found plenty. The vampire was already starting to form a list of things in her inventory again. At the very edge of the desert, the grass started turning into sand. Trees became sparser and dunes spread out in front of them. Elanore was lucky that her new body seemed to be immune to weather. Naela didn't have a problem with the heat either, but the wolves were suffering. Each of them panted, refusing to say outright that it was bothering them. "You two have taken us far enough," Ella said, scratching beneath Duke's chin. "Why don't the both of you take a break inside of my inventory?" Before either one of them could protest, she wrapped her pink mist around them, and both were sucked inside. Elanore broadcast her voice to a cauldron and shelf inside of her inventory. Both of you, take good care of them. They are going to be your cute little subordinates. She received a smug answer from both items. Each of them seemed to take their new jobs as overseers very seriously. Why was that? Ella imagined that it was something like an evil minion being given control for the first time. She smiled wryly and asked them to play nice. "Mistress?" "Sorry, I had to make sure that my minions understood the pecking order." Naela grinned before taking Ella's hand in her own. "What order am I in, mistress?" "You are at the top, naturally." "Just like in bed, mistress?" Ella's face heated. "Hey! That is foul play. Let's focus on the objective instead." In either life, Ella had never been to a desert before, so this was a first for her. She could tell that the dunes beneath her boots were hot. In the distance, waves spread out over the horizon, creating a mirage. The blistering sun didn't stop some monsters from living here though. Before long, a group of large black scorpions started crawling over the sandy hills. "Bleh! I hate bugs. Is this desert really full of them?" Elanore readied her staff, but a hand stopped her. "Please, allow me to take care of them, mistress." The wyvern insisted upon it with a stern expression, so Ella didn't argue. Naela raised her hand towards the sky, and a large pink dragon of flames formed in the air. It was a serpent eastern dragon, and it coiled above the poor scorpions. She slammed her hand towards the ground, and the dragon did the same. It roared as if it was alive, and hit the ground, burning all of the scorpions to a crisp. Elanore watched with widened eyes. "Did you learn a new spell?" "I have been practicing," Naela said. Though, her brief smile faded, and she mumbled in the next breath. "Still not good enough." Elanore sighed and gripped Naela's hand tighter. "Hey, you don't have to worry about competing with me, you know?" "It's not you, mistress." "Was it that elf again? You came here with your party, right? We should really share more with each other." Naela managed a nod. "I think so as well. I don't want to hide anything from you." "How about this, then? We can do a story time beneath the stars." "Would that get in the way of our other activities, mistress?" Elanore felt her cheeks redden. "We can move those to every other day. We have been going at it a lot more since we left the city." Naela smiled. "I will look forward to it. You still need to tell me all about your previous world, mistress. I am
