The sextet had a busy time ahead.
They spent most of the first week just sorting out who was to do what to get the girls set up. Aaden was a huge help as he outlined what was required and how Lord Storm ran his presses and printing shops.
One of the first things they decided to do was fix the road between the two cities, as it needed some serious work. Keven’s City, Rockville, was also on the coastline. The road from Greco her city was severely rutted and had to cross several low-lying causeways that often flooded.
The flyers that they planned to make first weren’t designed for high altitude flight. They were more a mode of transportation for produce and Ben called them air-trucks. A smooth road would be better even though they didn’t exactly travel on it. Plus the general population of the cities would also benefit.
They decided to upgrade the road from Greco to Oakville and then to Nickel City first. Then they would do the road between Oakville and Rockville. The magicians were surprised by how much just fixing the main road lightened the spirits of the population.
The loggers and miners could get their wares to Rockville and then onto Greco more efficiently. The farmers from Rockville could now get their produce to Greco faster. Those who lived along the main roads could also get in and out of the cities faster. The little towns in between also prospered as better roads meant more travellers.
Greco also benefited as farmers from the West could now get their products to market faster and in better condition thus improving quality and quantity. Deliveries could be done faster. Fewer wagons littered the roadside as smooth roads resulted in less wear and tear. It was a win-win situation for everyone.
Domo Leslie and her Council were surprised by how much the poor road conditions had affected business. They initiated their own people to fix the roads in their area and to the east. This provided employment and their Prols and Burgis races, in particular, liked this sort of work.
David and Kelli also instructed Leslie’s Pix engineers in how to design better sewerage systems. Explaining the health benefits and the fact it reduces the stink. With new money coming into town, the Council agreed this expenditure was worth it for the long term. More people suddenly had jobs.
Leslie was amused that more people in work also made the Council more money for other projects. She had never seen her Council so animated in improving things for the people. She was starting to wonder if they needed the other projects, but Aaden had informed her of the difference it had made in Trenton especially for operating businesses and for education.
He had reminded her that people liked to be able to communicate and find out what was going on in their regions. It helped the community feel that they were part of a whole and not just individuals trapped in their own little worlds.
The teams then split up to do their various chores.
JJ had Informed Ben where she believed the Transportation Ring was.
Storm had supplied her with the maps from Mage Davin’s notes making it easier for her. Ben and Raina collected some camping and climbing gear and headed into the mountains to the south-west. Ben was amused that Raina, once she knew the general direction, never consulted the maps again.
They spent the first three days hiking to the cavern. They could have gotten their faster, but they were both enjoying the walk and just being together. After having spent nearly over a month on a ship in space, they were more than happy to spend a couple of days communing with nature, plus some alone time never hurt.
They both tended to need it more than the others did. They were still coming to grips with the drastic changes in their lives. They talked about the dreams they had before and how they had changed. They found that their bond strengthened with every conversation they had.
They were both beginning to accept that this was their life now. It wasn’t the dream that they had envisioned, but this life was probably better, in that they both had a lot more to look forward to as long as they supported each other.
Raina was amused that Ben’s first goal was to get her pregnant as fast as he was physically capable. David had told him that when she came into heat, her smell would change and she would taste different, sweeter like nectar. So she wasn’t surprised that each night they stopped the first thing he did was bury his head between her legs.
She wasn’t going to complain, as Ben had gotten superb at finding her trigger points and sure knew how to suck and lick her to oblivion. What she really enjoyed was when he pushed his cock into her. She loved him being in her.
She was damn sure his cock had gotten bigger since he donned the wizards bling. She felt every millimetre of him when he was in her. Ben had mentioned that she was always tight on him and he loved feeling her muscles contracting around his cock.
He was surprised that he lasted as long as he did. He could only put it down to his desire to have Raina come with him, as it was always magnificent when she did. The head rush and feelings of joy and satisfaction were always more intense.
They both agreed that the sex was awesome. While Raina had no one to compare him to, Ben assured her that Justine, his only other experience, wasn’t even worth thinking about when compared to how much he enjoyed being with her.
On the fourth morning of their trek, they found the cavern. It was apparent to them both that no one had been here for a very long time. They did find some interesting tracks that neither of them could identify, so they decided it was wise to take their time and remain vigilant.
They activated their wands, so they acted like torches and cautiously entered the cave system. As they proceeded, they found their way into a lower cavern. Raina stopped him and pointed out the bones. They approached the bones to examine them.
This planet didn’t have a large variety of insects or reptiles. It did have a lot of mammals and birds. Some of the birds here were huge, but the mammals were more like what they had back home, except that none here, were as big as elephants.
At first, they thought the bones were the remains of meals had by a Catalo. It’s a large tawny cat like creature that they knew could be found on several of the continents. They did get quite large, as big as lions in some regions.
Raina looked at Ben, “The teeth pattern is not Catalo. These are more serrated like a beak full of teeth. They remind me of the animals that Trixy said was a relative of her raptors, but they are smaller. I can’t discern large bite marks.”
Ben also examined them. “We never asked the locals what the predators were here. Not smart on our part,” he said with a wry grin.
Raina nodded, “I agree. However, these carcases suggest that occupancy wasn’t that recent, months at least. The bones are of small mammals like the rabbits, bandicoots and the rat type animals that we have seen. It doesn’t mean if they come back that they won’t harm us, especial if they have young. With any luck, they moved north for the winter.”
“Well, once we have found the cavern we want, hopefully, we can blink in and out of it without disturbing the local wildlife,” Ben replied.
Raina looked around the cavern, “That way, for some reason I want to go that way.”
Ben shrugged and brushed off his hands. They had three options out of this cavern, and Raina had picked the least obvious. He wasn’t worried about them getting lost. One, they could blink out and two, Raina never got lost.
She had her father’s ability to memorise everywhere she has been and could walk you back without even thinking about it. He had seen her do this before, so he just followed her lead. He had learned the hard way not to second-guess Raina’s sense of direction.
Ben opened his senses as he followed. He didn’t want whatever the predator was sneaking up behind them. He had even palmed the pistol just in case. They had to get down on hands and knees as they navigated one tight section. Raina created a soft pink coloured ball of light that she pushed ahead of her as she crawled.
The light ball was a trick that Daniel had taught her. It was very handy for this job. It was a spell that sucked heat out of the air condensed it and radiated it back at as light. Daniel believed it worked a lot like what the crystals they were looking for did.
Ben kept the pistol in his hand but put his wand away. Raina stopped at the entrance to the next cavern. Ben listened, and to his surprise, he heard a soft peeping noise. Raina dropped down over a short ledge and brightened the ball of light sending it higher, so the small cavern was flooded it with the soft pink light.
Ben watched Rania as she approached a pile of leaves and fur. She knelt down and said, “Hi sweetie, how come you have hatched? I don’t think your mummy is here.”
Ben knelt down beside her to see what she was talking at. “Damn, that looks like the wyvern’s that we have eggs for,” he said in surprise.
“Yes, I think she is this planet’s version. The eggs are of similar size and colours to ours, I bet she can mate with them when we hatch them,” Raina said. She put her hand out, and the little creature happily hopped onto her hand. It peeped again like a baby chicken. “She is hungry.”
“The best we have to offer is those snags in your freezer pack,” Ben suggested. Raina kissed him and placed the wyvern in her lap as she let Ben remove her pack. He scrounged for the preservation box that held their meat and removed a raw sausage for the baby.
The little creature pounced on it, ripped into the thin skin and gulped down the meat from inside. Ben was distracted when the fur in the nest shivered. He gently parted it to reveal the second egg. They both watched in awe as it trembled and cracked.
Raina smiled at Ben who was looking at the egg. She got up and checked the other nests, but they were all empty. Three of them had parts of shells in them suggesting the other babies had hatched about the time they believed the parents had last been in the cavern system.
She wondered why these two eggs had been left behind. The parents must have thought they weren’t going to hatch or they were left to hatch when they got back. Trixy had said the other eggs they had wouldn’t hatch until they could bond with someone suitable.
She had also stated that the wyverns and dragonets did do some strange things and she was still learning about her favourite animals. One day Raina might work out why the eggs were left, but for now, the babies were their problem. She sat beside Ben with her baby and watched as the other little creature pushed out of its shell.
Her baby wyvern was mostly covered in soft white down with small thin grey stripes over her back that were darker in the centre and faded into the white. She had a dark grey tuft of feathers on her head and two little horns. Her wings were a more bat-like membrane with tiny white feathers along the top ridges of her limbs.
Long fingers and claws were on the end of the second limb. Her tail was long and serpent like, with a double row of little ridges on top and she had a small fan of white feathers on the tip. Her large hooded eyes were set more forward, but Raina decided she had good side vision as well.
Her ears were very short and board at the base, similar to cats ears and her beak was high and wide, but not as long as she would have thought. The serrated backwards facing teeth were already evident. Raina guessed that they were designed to strip the meat off a carcas.
The wyvern had a long thin serpent like tongue, which flicked out to taste the air. Her neck was surprisingly long and slender, and the double row of ridges that Raina suspected continued down her back under the down to her tail was evident.
Her back legs were strong, with a backwards knee and finished in feet with three forward toes with long claws and one back like a bird. The pads under the long wide toes were thick suggesting a lot of strength.
-- Crystal -- I awoke depressed. Another day to get through. I rolled out of Kegan’s arms and moved over so I could flop back onto my back. I thought about Vaughn and Harmony. It has been nearly three months since my portal book said he had connected to a portal on another planet. He has tried to send me there, but for some reason, the portal on the other side refuses to let him send me. ‘I didn’t meet protocols’, were the replies that Vaughn got. He even connected to the portal on...
Summer was nearly at an end for us in Federation. We were worried about the two missing boxes, but considering the size of Amity and past experiences, I knew they could be hard to find. In my case, I had no link to the boxes. They were not my type of magical boxes. Raina and her mob had linked together, but they couldn’t feel the boxes either. We decided that it would take a Queen Wizard to find them and we didn’t have one on this planet. We could only hope that they weren’t claimed or that...
We spent three full days packing, two days shopping in Brisbane, one in Sydney, two in New York and three in Paris. We also visited about thirty other places in the two weeks as we did a worldwide tour of Earth. The longer stay in Paris was just because Crystal and Pearl wanted to go there at least once and they wanted to hit the fashion shops. Us blokes were outvoted. Apparently, Crystal and Pearl had three votes each to our one. I have a feeling they were trying to hoodwink us, but Mike...
Storm, had his head buried between two very long lovely legs. While he was happily supping on the meal on offer, a very active tongue and a wicked set of lips were doing divine things to his family jewels. He had slept in her room and had woken to her cunnie in his face and her mouth on junior. He pulled her hips down to his wet face again and sucked hard as his hips flexed up. She shuddered and he blew, and she sucked him harder. He grunted into her twitching cunnie and then sucked her...
-- Earth time: 2078-- “Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!” I cussed. As soon as I felt that weird feeling, I knew the damn book had sent me home. Daniel looked at me in surprise. He frowned at me. I sighed and sat up. I then picked him up, and balanced my son on my hip I walked over the Lectern. “Send me back immediately,” I demanded. “I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. I’ve lost contact with the portal you originated from. You look familiar. Let me see. Oh! This is very strange. According to my records,...
I was speechless when Crystal walked in to say that Raina and the babies were fine. She was the woman in the crystal ball. I guess Zara had known that she was to be my paramour. But I think something did change. I don’t believe Zara saw me as an Empress in the other version of our future. I drank in Crystal’s beauty and felt myself harden at the sight of her. I knew she was still to be mine in this version of reality. I had no problem with that at all. I glanced at Storm’s other three...
I looked at the camera. Seven months old, Devin stood on my right thigh, and his brother Quin stood on my left with my arms supporting them. Sky sat cross-legged across on my lap and leant against me. Kim was at my right shoulder with his right arm around Sarah. Beside him was Lindell her arm around him and Bonny. Raina fussed and finally said she had a lovely picture. Sky scrambled down to run to her big sister and see the results. Sarah bent and kissed me and claimed Devin while Bonny...
I’ve decided the last few chapters of this book should be Mikal’s summary. Of all of us, he has probably had the most interesting year. While a lot has happened to me too, I think the others have summed up my major achievements in their way. I know that I’m a very content man. Being surrounded by the huge loving family that I have managed to gather just makes me an even happier one. I find plenty to keep me occupied and having my kids has also been a major distraction, towards which I’ve...
“Fuck!” I said aloud. “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” I was still standing in a Ring. However, it wasn’t the same ring that I had been standing inside of, only moments before. I was in another cavern. This cavern also had a disused look similar to the one I had been in, but it was cleaner and better sealed. I looked up and noticed the crystals were a lot dimmer and there was not as many, as in the other cavern. I had a feeling if I wanted to go home, they would need to be a lot brighter and recharged....
David was checking out the information Carline had given him. With JJ’s help and the new satellites, they had built a comprehensive map of Federation. From what he could determine, the people had spread out around the coasts, radiating out from where the sections of the original starship had landed. Federation was the largest content on the planet. It linked into the Southern pole and then stretched up to the equator. It crossed it in a large, wide chunk of land. Several short, broader...
A runner turned at the homestead. My spouses were coming home. I immediately started tossing out orders, to get the carts on the road and get the herders assembled. I was running around like a clucker with its head cut off. Greta and Edith calmly took over and told me to go. I was on Opal so fast it wasn’t funny. I was pacing the wharf waiting for Captain Hail to tie up his ship so he could drop the planks and I could board. I raced up the plank and stopped dead at the sight of Bea and...
Tom was correct, and we did arrive in Weston just after lunch. He followed Reilly’s directions and ended up pulled up on a nice wide dock over to the southern side of the long bay. It was a little removed from the other docks, but as he explained, they were considered a higher end market area these days. The area had once been a big meat works, which was why they had the separate dock and sale pens for livestock. With the changes in population, the meatworks moved further north as it seemed...
After the fun of entering the Palace compound, we arrived at a courtyard and dismounted. We were then shown through umpteen dozen hallways and rooms, each gaudier than the last, to get to a waiting room. As we walked, I wondered if the King was related to Higgins. He had the same horrible taste in decorations. John and Tony left us in a little alcove to wait. We settled in, as I didn’t expect to be received in any hurry. I was glad we’d had something to eat before we were interrupted. I did...
-- Earth time: 2095-- Where was I? Yes, my first trip to my Island. If I wasn’t nuts before I got here, I was by the time I left. My arrival... -- Earth time: 1100-- I coughed and then vomited again. I dry retched several times and finally sat up as the dizzy sensation abated. I looked around me and found that I was sitting inside a Ring. I knew that it wasn’t the same Ring as the room was also different. This room had curved walls and had a high domed ceiling that was covered in...
-- Storm - Earth time 2102-- Kim and Lindell had decided to come on the trip with Sarah and me. Sarah dropped her shuttle down onto an open paddock near the section of Torus in the old crater. As we disembarked, a man dressed in what I’d call cut down buckskins approached. He was taller than the average here, lean and fit with sable hair tied back off his face. He looked at most as if he was twenty years old. With him was a very shapely woman. She had paler, more honey coloured hair but...
-- Daniel -- I’m surprised by how well Pip and I have learnt to work together. It’s not been an easy task, and we both realise that we still have a lot of work to do and a lot to learn about running a city and a community. The people we rescued have been settling into the city and taking over a lot of the work of rebuilding their lives and new homes. I think the fact that they could spread out a bit sorted out a lot of the animosity between the different factions. Captain Dale has been of...
-- Storm - Amity - Earth time: 2102 -- We were in a right pickle. Daniel and Pip stayed a couple of extra days to help with the clean-up and burying of the dead. Even my other wizards turned up in Nickel City and then teleported to us to help. Ulu even brought Carline and Sharon with him. Carline was Leslie’s only living daughter, and Sharon was Anne’s daughter to a different shifter, called Trip. They were both pretty upset about their mothers dying like they had, as one would expect....
I woke early and crawled out of the bodies piled onto my bed. I still liked about four hours sleep, and I think I had slept so solidly due to utter exhaustion. It had been a very fulfilling night, and my loved ones had worked hard to please me. I showered and dressed and then popped down to the café and grabbed some food and a large pot of tea to get me going. I asked JJ where the ships were, near Saran and Green Island. She pointed out that the ships near Saran were just off the coast. I...
We were sad to leave Bron and his people. Sable was delighted that his dad had become a Lord Wizard. We had a good laugh about the fact that he truly was Lord Bull Bron Horn now. Silver and Rose thought it very fitting, as far as they were concerned he had always acted like a Lord Wizard anyway. I suspected that little would change on Green Island following the upgrades as, the Bulls were an exceptional group of people and led their people by example as it was. Bron said he had no plans to...
It was well after midnight when Jack felt himself stir awake. Sharley had done a magnificent job of wearing him out, and the bed was in the same wrecked condition they had left it that afternoon. She was now sleeping deeply, her nightie a thing of the past, and had collapsed finally in utter orgasmic bliss. Jack had slept soundly for a few hours but had woken shortly before two. “I seem to be sleeping less,” he commented. “Yes, Lord, that is to be expected. Your mental powers are continuing...
The numbness begins to fade and you slowly become aware of you cheek, resting on a scratchy surface. You body feels hot and warm but your feet and legs feel cold. You hear what sounds like waves lapping at a shore. You open your eyes and are blinded by the sun in your face. "Ah..." you squint as your eyes struggle to adjust. You sit up slowly, looking around you in confusion. You're on the shore of a great body of water. The sky is light blue with a few small clouds lazily moving by in the...
It was very late in the office in the Finacial District, and Annie, an experienced manager, was in a closed conference room on a video call. She was not working though, but connecting with her also busy husband undressing for him from her upscale office clothes. They worked in different countries, both stayed late, and this was one of the ways to entertain one another. Several days ago, he was telling her a story, and she was wildly pleasuring herself to it. Today, Annie was feeling like making...
Wife Lovers?Well, it's been a month already. Of course I'm going to be impatient.? ?Yeah, and what exactly have you done besides let him know you're accessible?? Tanya made a valid point. Alan sat back on his computer chair and frowned. He'd pulled out all the stops to get his roommate Tom in his clutches; a slutty maid outfit, a makeup artist, and a bet gone awry had done wonders. A sore ass and exhaustion had kept them from round two, and after that... Tom had been avoiding him as much as...
I went for a hike. I’d not been out to the Isa for ages, and you still didn’t have to go far out of town to be in the bush. Most of the area was cattle stations and mine sites. I bummed a lift to the airport with a bloke heading that way from my hotel and then hiked out to the man-made dam they called Lake Moondarra. It was about 14km in, and I had packed my small backpack for the day. Making sure, I had plenty of water in my two belt canteens and steriliser tablets. I had a box of my...
‘Ho-ho, ho-ho, a bussing we will go.’ Actually, I hate buses as much as I hate planes. But they are a necessary evil when you travel. I’d had to bus to a hotel in town for the night. I then bussed to a different airport. I then jumped on my next flight to get to Kuching and then another one to get to the Mulu airport. A friend had organised for me to stay in Mulu Village with a family that he had stayed with previously. From here, I could pretty much do as I wished. I’d organised a couple...
I got up and found the loo. Upon inspection, I decided that it needed to go. I headed downstairs to the better bathroom and used it instead. I even took a quick bath. I put on my clean set of clothes and spruced them up a little, now I knew how. I tightened the waist on the pants and lengthened them a little with the excess material. Then I trimmed some of the excesses out of the shirt by tightening the weave and trimming the material. It looked a higher quality of material now and a better...
The rest of that week was busy. I collected a heap of new crystals and Wally, Walter, and I went around the house embedding them in the walls. We then went room to room, and we decided on a colour scheme for each. Once we were all happy, we liked it, I transported the furniture I’d picked for the room, and we arranged it accordingly. Pammy suggested we move some to different rooms, so they didn’t look cluttered, so the boys moved it. I then inspected the alteration and approved the moves...
I helped myself to the port and sat across from Kim. I asked why he was down here alone and he pouted at me and told me it was my fault. When I gave him an inquiring look, he grinned and said I shouldn’t have winked at him. I laughed. “Sorry, I’ve never actually been with a bloke, but for some reason, I thought if I did, you wouldn’t be a bad place to start.” He must have liked this answer because he said, “Damn straight! You’d break my heart if you did it with anyone else before...
I got up early. I wanted to get the building I owned fixed before it fell down. I also needed to do a bit of Lord Wizard’s stuff. I tried not to disturb Kim when I got up, and I headed to the cavern workshop and double checked what was required to build the boxes for Kim and Mathew. I was finding I only slept for about four hours and I was awake and ready to go. Most of the rest I was learning slept about seven hours. I found all I needed in the cavern, except the copper. I still had...
We went with the others to Mathew’s place. We sat and talked for a bit and then the couples wandered off to find a room. I wasn’t surprised that the new couples had been invited, nor that they disappeared early. I was left with Lindell. She giggled and said, “Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.” The others wouldn’t know if we sat here for the night or not. I finished my drink and said, “My place.” I got up, and I made her stand and then blinked her to my room. She was surprised to...
I woke to a cock between my arse cheeks. Kim was rocking his hard cock between my arse cheeks. He had already managed to penetrate me and was happily working in deeper, and my arse didn’t seem to mind at all. I found my cock was rocking in between Lindell’s cheeks. I could feel Junior was already between her cunnie lips and she wasn’t helping by encouraging him to bury in further. I groaned as Kim pushed in harder and Lindell pushed back onto me. I think they both realised they were...
We found the formal dining room set up for us. I think I had to accept that I couldn’t eat with the staff now the house was getting a mistress. Kim whispered something to Lindell. She looked at me and then headed for the kitchen. I took my seat and then looked up to see my staff heading into the dining room, their plates in one hand and a dish of food in the other. They all picked a seat and made themselves comfortable as Kim and Lindell sat either side of me. I beamed at them, and they all...
Our staff were happy to see us home. We had to attend meetings with the Magistrates and learned that Veldor had flipped out on them. The man had not liked admitting a few home truths as to how he obtained his wealth or his wife. They ended up sending him to a special place where they put people, who had difficulties relating to the world and that had been convicted of serious crimes. All of his wealth was confiscated. They determined that he has used Raelene’s wealth and title to accrue...
I don’t sleep as long as my loves. I got up and decided to consult the crystal ball on the location of the broken medallions. I was surprised they weren’t in the wing I couldn’t approach but in a different house. I blinked over but stayed invisible. The house had a couple of ‘protection’ spells, but they couldn’t detect me while I was inside the invisibility shield. I entered the establishment and found what I was looking for. They were stuffed in a box in the man’s study. They looked like...
It didn’t surprise me to find a mouth on my cock when I woke. Kim was happily licking me and sliding his mouth down my cock. My groan and tightening hips made him aware I was awake. He sucked me harder making my hips flex in time with him. Once he was happy that I was suitably prepared, he popped off my cock. “Fuck Lindell, so I can fuck you,” he asked. My wife removed her tit from my mouth where it had found itself and grinned at me. She moved on to all fours and wiggled her arse at me. I...
In the morning, we had a staff meeting. I explained that we had to go home for a few days and then we had to take the Sarans home. I appointed Oslo as my manager and told him to contact James in Iron Hills for his supplies. If he needed more staff, he was welcome to hire them. He could also have the flat above, once we left. He liked this idea very much. He and Wayne asked if their girls could stay. They wanted to marry them. I don’t think this surprised any of the staff. I said I’d ask the...
David James cussed when he banged his busted knee on the old trunk. He rubbed it and noticed the knee was swelling up again. He was supposed to stay off it for at least another week, but that wasn’t happening. While in the hospital, he had been contacted by a lawyer about his Father’s estate. He owned an apartment building containing sixteen units in the city of Cairns, Queensland, on the northern end of the Esplanade. The lawyer had a buyer. UNSEC (The United Nations Security...
Ulu was feeling miserable. It had turned colder the further north they had travelled, and they had found the thin blankets offered little protection. Ulu hated the cold and was feeling very disgruntled at his confinement. In the last hour or so, the ship had been rocking and rolling more than normal. Several of the girls had been sick in the privy and were a bit green about the gills. It had gotten dark earlier. Ulu heard the sailors shout to get the sails down as they were being chased by...
The spaceship got under way, and they headed off to Mars. This Explorer ship was one of their newest at about 120m long and 60m at its widest. It looked like a flattened oblong. It had two liveable decks that were about 3m high with a meter crawl space between. Helm, food-prep, a sickbay, a rec-room and labs were on this deck. Six bunkrooms were on the second deck, with perishable storage and a communal bathroom. The third deck was the biggest and housed the transporter that seated four of...
David woke slowly. He reached out to find the other side of the bed empty. He frowned. Carol rarely got up before him, as the lady liked her sleep. A tear rolled down his cheek, as he remembered that Carol would be sleeping forever. They had grown close over the weeks they had been together, and while he didn’t love her, he had enjoyed her company, both in and out of bed. The silly bugger hadn’t put the safety harness on the chair on properly. When they had left in a hurry, he had grabbed...
Doc Allan Avon and Kale were working in his lab with the berries. Allan was an avid scientist and loved learning about why different components in plants affected people. He had distilled quite a few poisons and toxins in his time. He had even found plants that helped with pain and stopped wounds from getting infected. He loved plants. They had found a small epiphyte plant growing the berries on one of the trees near the farm. Kale had helped him carefully remove it, and they put it in a...
David was sitting at the helm. He was watching the pictures of the planet below scroll across his screens. He knew why it was called Hades. It was a weird planet. It had an axial tilt of about fifteen degrees. The equator was boiling hot, but Sarah said it was actually cooling. It also had huge ice caps that she told him were, in fact, melting and making the sea less saline. It had active volcanoes caused by something hitting the planet hard and what life was on the planet was basic at...
The magicians spent a week trying to sort out the Palatines at Spur. As Markus had predicted, it was a mess. Some wanted to stay, some want to go. This included both slaves and invaders. Some of the women wanted to keep their man others emphatically didn’t. Then there were the kids. The magicians had arrived en masse and Storm had them do a blanket spell to remove the bad spells that were on the people in the valley. They had agreed to put a temporary spell on them so that they couldn’t...
They decided it was time to get some rooms sorted out. The ladies took them upstairs to show them the rooms that they had picked out. They, in turn, selected rooms nearby, so they stayed together. Everyone agreed to meet up for lunch in an hour or so, once they were settled in. David and his girls collected their basics from the ship and made themselves at home. David and Kelli both had to laugh at the starry-eyed look on Sarah’s face. She didn’t seem the least perturbed that Storm already...
For Raina, it had been a bitter-sweet eighteen months. She loved being at college, and she learned a lot more about how her crafts were made and programmed. She had found her input from what she had flown was making its way to the designers. She loved her daughter whom she had called Dana and suffered through the death of her mother who had a run-in with a kangaroo one night coming back down the range from the Atherton Tablelands to Cairns in her old van. She had only been fifty, and it...
Ben and the boys were picking their rooms. They had discovered upon the first inspection that Zarka was very well equipped for a crew of eight. She had four large bedrooms with huge beds in them, and each had an ensuite. One was either side of the lift exit and the other two towards the back of the ship separated by their ensuites. DT and KJ decided on the two by the lifts. They dropped their packs on the beds and checked out the amenities. The showers looked strange, but they decided...
They finally joined the other three in the kitchen. DT had been cooking and teaching Zarka, with a very attentive KJ helping. Raina wondered which boy was going to get lucky because she had a feeling one of, if not both were also going. She had been as surprised as Ben when Zarka made herself known to them. She had also realised Zarka didn’t really need her to fly the ship. She was obviously capable of doing it herself, since she was apparently, also the ship. That was an explanation,...
Raina found Zarka and DT in the dining area an hour or so later. “Where is KJ?” she asked as she helped herself to coffee. The other two grinned at her like Cheshire cats. “What did you do to him?” she asked. Zarka said while shaking her head slowly, “DT was very naughty.” DT blushed at Raina’s enquiring look. “Oh?” she said. Zarka nodded, “Yes, very, very naughty. I thought them Russians could be naughty, but DT is a bad boy. Poor KJ couldn’t decide if he was coming or going.” DT...
They were preparing to leave when a young man appeared with a backpack. “Hi Daniel, I didn’t know that you were coming to visit,” Trixy said. “Not quite Trixy. I’m going with them,” he announced. Raina frowned at him and walked up to him. She gently touched his cheek and looked into his eyes. He gave her a cheeky grin and wiggled his eyebrows at her, and she had to smile back. Ben felt a prickle of unease at their interaction. He was a nice looking young man about 178cm tall, with his...
His Eminence, Prime Bishop Richard the First, sat on his throne and strummed his first two fingers of his left hand. His birth name was Dick Baker, but there were few people alive, who knew this. Only a select few called him Richard. Most people called him Your Eminence or Prime Bishop. He was a short, rotund man with thinning grey hair and a bald patch on the back of his head. His complexion was mottled, and his skin looked patchy with small areas of scabby rashes all over his body. His...
Penny, Alexus, Kale and Selwyn blinked to Tinble City. They were sad to find that the shield had failed. The devastation suggested that it had failed many years before. When they entered the Citadel, they found it dark and quiet. They activated their wands, so they provided light and using the stairs they headed to the room that the SAI should be located in. They found that she had died. The dried out mess in the tank suggested that she had been dead for a year or possibly two. Kale...
Princess Olivia stood at 158cm tall in her soft diamond studded slippers. Her short mop of tight white, curls surrounded her face like a fluffy cloud. Her large light purple eyes could pin you against the wall when you upset her. Her skin had a light, peachy hue, and her mother said she blushed prettily. She had also somehow ended up with pointy tips on her ears. Her nose was a little unfortunate. Olivia had busted it when she was six, and it now tipped down at the end. It flattened out her...
Olivia jumped down off the waggon and pulled off her hat, to wipe her brow. She dusted it off against the thin linen of her wide flowing pants and looked around. If you looked at where she stood from the air, the mountain range formed a large ‘Y’. It was called the Yani Mountain Range. In the fork of the ‘Y’ was an area that was known as the Forbidden Valley. It was believed that all who approached the valley were turned away. Silver Kingdom sat on the south side of the longest leg of the...
Olivia and Markus both woke refreshed. They headed down to the café and ordered breakfast. Patina happily reported, “Lord Paul and his people had a dreadful night. Six of his men had deserted in the night, and he only has sixteen now. Lord Paul had a particularly bad night. He is a grumpy boy this morning.” Olivia and Markus had to snigger at his misfortune. “Your people are also fine,” Patina told them. Olivia asked, “So how do we convince the rest of the intruders to bugger off?” “Well,...
Storm and Sarah had been on their way to Silver City when Alexus had called them. They then stayed with them for a few days to them to help out, before heading to Silver City. Now that Alexus’s had his apprentice’s box working, he and Penny believed they could get things, up and running during the winter season ahead. Kale and Selwyn planned to help the couple for a few more days before joining David and Kelli in what was to be their new home in Nickle City. Kale and Selwyn were having a...
To say the wizards stole the show would be putting it politely. While they had arrived in the more acceptable manner by coming to the front door and waiting to be announced, that was about all they did that was mundane. Olivia, Warren and Lillian were amused as they watched them enter the ballroom. To start with, they were the tallest people there. Sarah, Zarka and Payton were breathtaking. There was more than one man in the room who wanted to bury his head in their tits. The fact that that...
The sextet was complete. David had become the unofficial leader of the sextet even though they were theoretically equal. He brought his fellow team members up to speed with what Master Bart had told him regarding the political situation in Federation. Keven recommended that they go to see her grandmother, Domo Leslie and that they should get her side of the story. Keven’s sisters, Levi and Selwyn, also agreed this was a good place to start. The rest agreed, and they all blinked to the...
David and Kelli went to check out the mines and logging operations with Levi and Chris. Chris was delighted to show them around. He hoped Levi found that he had looked after her Duchy as if it was his own. He hadn’t done a lot with the mansion other than to keep it maintained. He told Levi that now that it was her home she could do what she liked with the place. She might have to watch their spending for a while if they were going to need the money for expansion. He had the staff assemble...
