Chapter 210 The Reunion
Before the light had even vanished, a startled shriek filled the air.
A figure came stumbling out of the portal.
It was TartKing, and following right behind her was a round, fluffy, pink… sheep.
“TartKing!”
Riley moved with lightning speed, catching the girl before she could do a face-plant into the dirt.
“Ugh… that was terrifying! Portaling feels like a bad roller coaster ride!”
TartKing stood up, shaking her head to clear the dizziness, and then looked around in shock.
“Don’t just stand out here in the cold; let’s head inside.”
Riley led them into the house.
“Woah! This carpet is so soft! And the lights are gorgeous!”

TartKing explored like a curious toddler, clutching her marshmallow sheep as she spun in circles. “And this kitchen! Oh my god! Look at the size of that cooking station! Though I don’t see any appliances?
“Wait…”
TartKing stopped dead in her tracks.
Her eyes locked onto a pair of animal ears peeking out from behind the sofa.
Neeko was wearing a cute little padded coat, her heterochromatic eyes wide with curiosity and a hint of shyness.
“It’s Neeko!”
TartKing’s eyes lit up as she charged forward, only to slam on the brakes two feet away to avoid scaring the girl.
“Hi there… I’m TartKing… I’m Riley’s friend…”
TartKing knelt down, using the gentlest voice she could manage. “Can I… may I touch your ears?”
Neeko blinked and looked up at Riley.
Riley smiled and gave a small nod. “It’s okay, Neeko. They’re family.”
With Riley’s blessing, Neeko stepped out from her hiding spot.
“Hello… I’m Neeko.”
Her voice was soft and sweet. “I know you! Riley told me about you-you’re the TartKing sister who makes the really yummy
cakes!”
“Yes! That’s me!”

Marking boked like she was about to cry from pure joy. “Do you want soffie cake? I’ll make you cakes for the rest of your life!”
PineappleBeer, who was mid-sip of water, nearly choked. “Tartking, take it down a notch.”
Despite the teasing, PineappleBeer’s eyes were glued to the gryphon cub in Neeko’s arms.
PineappleBeer leaned in and poked Ash’s round belly. “Why does he look like a feathered propane tank?”
“Chirp!”
