Since we were at the new wharf, I asked Ian and Robert where they wanted their cold rooms.
They already had the main road and a road built behind where the other longer wharf would go. The boys also planned another jetty at the other end of the beach. They had a lovely big mound of dirt and rocks that they had created when levelling off the road and clearing an area to start building back from the beach.
The road crew were due back in a week to build them a couple more roads. They were to run back from the wharf road, for warehouses and other businesses. They had already layed out a housing development further back and on higher ground, from where the jetty ran out along a spit of land.
It even had four homes and a form of bunkhouse built on it on one side of the access road for the work crews. I checked their map and the lay of the land, and I looked at what I had to work with. A large rocky outcrop backed onto the jetty, and I got them to walk up over the spit with me.
It was a bit rough, and the rocky outcrops were going to be a pain where they were. I looked over the other side of the spit and got an idea. I grinned at them, and I told them to link up with me. Robert didn’t have his ring yet, but I could teach him the spells, and he could feel what it felt like working with another mage. He did have the latent ability so he would benefit.
I had the picture in my head of what I wanted to achieve and the lay of the land. I showed them how to see what I did. I could pick out the different elements of the earth and showed them how to make them move and re-join in different combinations where I wanted them.
For a 150m down the spit, I hollowed out the outcrops 60m wide and pushed the rocks up as I built the walls. I built the walls up to 5m and created a thick solid floor above and below the area. I then built the next level up another 4m in height.
I split the bottom level into four 40m long by 60m wide sections. I left space for connecting doorways and large elevators to be put in later. I built wide stairs to the upper levels in each section. I split the top level into eight areas.
I provided access to the stairs and for where the elevators would go in later. I included a long wide hall between the eight sections that ran the entire length of the building. They could work out how they wanted to use the rooms.
I built a low gabled roof from the rocks and included big rain tanks under the roof and towards the ends of the building. They could be fully plumbed in later. I also provided a 20m wide covered area surround the outside of building to protect the lower sections from the weather.
The covers were so they could work when it rained. The shade in summer would be good too. I decided it could act as a balcony for the upper level. So I extended the roof and added some roof to ground pillars for ascetics.
I adjusted the gutters to go to the huge water tanks. We got more than enough rain that the tanks should provide ample water for the building and even for the ships. I dropped a purification spell on the tanks.
I left doorways where the boys wanted them on the different levels and even split one section on the landward end into several offices for them. I provided windows in the upper sections. On the bottom floor, I installed high glass sections would provide light access but the glass wasn’t designed to open, as the upper windows could.
We added large, wide access doors for the forklifts on the lower sections of the length of the wall that didn’t have the stairs and elevators. I then build three 20m square rooms in each section. They also had large doors for easy access. The rest of the space was left for them to use, how they wished.
On the other side of this warehouse, I flattened out the land and formed a 40m wide jetty 200m long with 20m of its width overhanging the sea as the jetty extended from the land. I added a few support pillars just to make it look solid. I flattened out a further 50m of the end of the peninsula on the seaward side to join the jetties and the warehouse.
On the point of the peninsula, for fun and navigation, I built a slim 40m high conical tower to be a lighthouse. I’d smoothed and rounded the seawalls and used the extra rocks in my lighthouse construction. I added several levels so the operator could live there too.
On the landward side, I flattened a 100m area, so it joined back to the access road. I opened my eyes to see what I had done. I grinned at Ian, “Shall we go put the crystals in place and ice up your cold rooms?”
Robert looked at the new building and the new jetty. “By the goddesses, that is three times bigger than what we were thinking of.”
“I was a bit worried it wouldn’t be big enough,” I said with a grin. They looked at me with raised eyebrows, and I had to chuckle. “You’ll need to get it wired up and plumbed. I had to leave you something to do,” I said.
I was pleased with the nice walls I had created for the building. Where possible I had split the rocks, so their inner layers were displayed and laid them, so they meshed. It created some interesting effects, and I liked the contrasts.
We planted the crystals, and I explained about why I was putting the crystals where I did, and how the coverage would keep the spells active. I added the extra ones to the cold rooms, and we set the middle rooms as to be colder than the outer ones.
I go them to link with me again, and we added the preservation spells. I explained they would preserve the building and its contents. They would probably be still standing is several hundred years’ time.
Happy with the new building we head back to the festival.
Our spouses took one look at us and sighed.
“Well there go goes the next couple of hours,” Bea commented, and we found ourselves being carted off to be bathed and recharged. As much as I loved screwing my girls they had worked out if I used a lot of magical energy the best way to recharge me was gang-bang me.
I knew what was coming when they stripped off and changed. I dutifully changed to female and got in the big tub we had in the bathroom attached to our room at Ian’s house. They took their time getting me ramped up, teasing me as they washed me.
I was starting to appreciate my spouses in their male forms when I was female. I’d never been particularly attracted to men as such. Yet, with them it was different as they were mine, and I knew when they screwed me when I was female it was the other side of their natures appealing to my feminine side.
They were my loves, and I had come to love both sides of their natures and mine. I still didn’t do it often, but when we did change, they always made it worth my while. By the time, they had finished with me I was a squirming mass of flesh.
The orgasms and recharges were massive and as one no sooner got me coming and came in me the next took their place. And I was taken to heaven again. I had to giggle at their self-satisfied grins as they watched me shudder uncontrollably from their efforts.
Greta had decided to go last, and she was still in me. She liked rocking her hips to keep me rammed even though she had come. She finally pulled out so I could come back to earth and they cuddled up to me. They gently rubbed my shivering body and gave me little kisses as I finally calmed down.
“Maybe, you should all come with me,” I said.
Cora chuckled and licked my nipple making me shudder again. “Nope, if we come you won’t look for our spouse,” she told me.
“You’re sure we need another? I’m more than happy with what I have,” I said seriously.
“Yes,” Bea said emphatically. “We know we can satisfy you if we can get you to change but even that is exhausting to do on a regular basis and you’re not comfortable doing it too often. When you really need a fix like today, we know we can get you to change.”
Cora then took over, “The problem is we love you making love to us too. We have no idea how you can do all of us in a night and more than once. You do manage it on a regular basis. You not needing as much sleep as we do doesn’t help either.”
Greta gently kissed me and added, “We, however, don’t require the level of sex you do. Even once a night with you is enough for us. A fourth would help us spread out our time with you and help ensure you get the fix you need and we get the rest we need.”
“You can be overpowering at times with how you make us come. You have no idea how happy I was to see Bea and Cora on the ship. I love you very much Bron, but I would have gone nuts by now without them. I think it’s because you’re a high-level mage and we aren’t.”
Bea chuckled and said, “Another high-level mage with a nymphomaniac personality might help.” She and others giggled at her description of the spouse they wanted me to find.
“So you’re not coming with me, so if I get frustrated enough, I’ll look for some else. That’s rough,” I said more seriously.
“No, that’s a reality. We know you, Bron. We had hoped you would accept Honey, but your love for us wouldn’t let you. If we aren’t there to influence you, we think it will be easier. Knowing that if you love the person, then we will too, should help you.”
“You have a very high standard. I knew as soon as I saw Bea and Cora that I could love them. The fact they wore magical items told me they were good people. I’d already guessed at Dad’s that it took someone special to get you interested. You have demonstrated that to us many times since,” Greta said.
Cora giggled, “It was so funny watching all those shifters trying to get you hard. We told them they could sleep with you if they got you to sprout an erection.”
“They were kissing you and rubbing up against you but nothing, unless we touched you. The moment another girl kissed you, down you went,” Bea chuckled.
“The closest you came was when you kissed dad,” Greta said. I looked at her in surprise. I do remember that I had kissed him but not a lot more. I was little more intoxicated than I thought if I did more.
She grinned, “Beth was just about in hysterics. Poor daddy, he just about came in his pants when you felt him up. You even changed to female and rubbed your udders on him, do you remember doing that?”
My eyebrows shot up, and I shook my head, “No, I do remember that he was a good kisser. I think it may have even made me think of you, Greta,” I said just to stir her in turn.
“That makes sense since he did teach me how to kiss,” she replied. “I didn’t tend to go with the others. Daddy was a very gentle lover and tried to make it as pleasant for us as he could. He does like kissing,” she added with a cheeky grin.
I grinned back, “Yep, he sure is good at it. It’s probably why I felt him up. My inhibitions were way down that night. My brain was fried with all the stimulation.”
“Really?” Bea said, “Hum, that does make sense. I have noticed that you seek one of us out after someone tries to stir you up. You are a strange shifter, Bron. I wonder why you don’t display the physical symptoms of becoming aroused by other people.”
I shrugged, “I can only guess there is something screwy with the way my brain is wired.”
“I wonder if that is why you’re happy to kiss the other Bulls. Maybe if the person doesn’t have strong magical abilities your desires to actually mate with them is suppressed in some way. You can still appreciate them but not enough to mate,” Cora said.
“My love, your guess is as good as mine. I am what I am. At least you know as long as I’m not in season, I’ll behave,” I commented.
“Why was Honey the exception? Does she have magical ability?” Bea asked.
“Yes, but I detected some conflict within her, and I think she is like Wanda and Dale and needs to find the people or person who truly loves her first,” I added.
“But that wasn’t you was it, my love? Just having magical ability wasn’t enough for you,” Greta said in speculation.
“No, I’m sorry, but I didn’t feel for her what I feel for you three. You each give me something I seem to need. I don’t feel that I love you the same. I don’t feel I love you any less than each other it’s just different for each of you. If that makes sense,” I finished.
The girls looked at each other. We had all changed back to our preferred states as we talked. They smiled at me and kissed me very deeply one after the other. They chuckled at my erection, and Bea kissed the tip of my cock, “You behave you, naughty boy. You have had more than enough for now.”
I pouted, and they chuckled and got off the bed to get dressed.
We left the next morning.
We decided to make it a round trip and went home via Midton. The road builders had finished this section of road. They were busy building the new road from Midton to Central across Phil’s land. He planned to set up a village about midway between the two towns.
It would split up his property a lot more, but it had been pointed out he hadn’t used the land in his lifetime, and while we all preserved large sections of land for the native wildlife, a lot of our properties were not really used. Probably about three-quarters of my land was in a similar condition.
I think many of the Bulls were surprised at how little of the land we owned was actually used. Sometimes it was easy to forget just how big our island was. I didn’t really wish to encourage a massive population explosion or even us cultivating a lot more land.
Travelling around as we were, made me realise that it would take some time before over-population would be an issue. Even with our relatives being allowed to breed, I’d been getting a general impression from many of them they were not planning large families. I was kinda happy they weren’t.
Not that I could bitch about this issue since I already had six calves of my own. As I had told my spouses, I was more than happy if we didn’t have any more, until this lot were grown up. I got some chuckles from them, and I had a feeling I’d end up with more, sooner than I probably wished. I, however, still didn’t plan to birth them.
If I do end up with another spouse that would most likely change the number of calves I do end up with. I was still in two minds as to if I should even look. I decided it would be a wait and see type thing. If it happened, it happened, if it didn’t then it didn’t.
Since we were going that way, we left with Robert, Cavil and Phil. We stopped in at Robert’s and found his ring was spotty and the girls helped me fix it, and it happily went to Robert. He was delighted, as was Pauli his spouse. I’d been able to give her a novices pouch when we were at Ian’s house.
I was delighted with the health of his animals, and I could see that other more recent improvements had been made. He was happy to show us around and point out some of the projects his people had been working on.
I gave him and Pauli one of the small bags of crystals each and reminded him to contact the girls if they needed help. I was glad I had collected a heap of new ones while were in Horn City. I wasn’t sure why I wanted them at the time, but I was now happy to have them to give away.
We travelled to Cavil’s homestead. My other home, I told Cavil and Beth. They both hugged me and said by rights, it should be mine. I shook my head and said, “No, the right person is looking after this Herd. Cerys may be a problem though.”
They looked at me in surprise. I grinned and said, “I think you will find that she will be your heir. I see retirement in your future.”
Cavil looked at his daughter and then back at me, “Well if the ring goes to me, she may have to wait a while.”
“She’ll wait, but you may need to send her on a world tour when she hits twenty or so,” I chuckled.
“Well that gives me plenty of time to make the property one she would be proud to inherit,” he replied.
I agreed, and we looked at his ring. It was in a safe that he rarely used and we were surprised that it was a four gem ring. It had Psychic, Lore, Nature and Earth gems on it. “That could explain why the Hind family had always been a principle family,” I said to Cavil.
Phil frowned at the ring and asked to look at it. He looked at it carefully and said, “Hum, okay. Why do you have the Horn Ring, Cavil?”
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,...
-- 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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
“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...
-- 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...
-- Philip - 2052 -- My name is Philip Carpenter, and I was born in the year 2036 to Eca Johana. My mother lived in Malaysia when she met my biological father whom she called Storm. She liked to tell me that he had the most compelling eyes and that I had inherited them. When we were happy or excited, they shone green. When we were upset or angry, they darkened to grey, and you could see the storm in them. I guess she liked my eyes. I learned later in life that many other women did as well,...
As Smithy had predicted the snowfall wasn’t that bad. It was a very chipper crowd that greeted Trixi and me at the fire the next morning. We did get a few head shakes after the night before, and I did blush. You see I tried something new. Trixi was exhausted after four days of helping me recharge and the magic she had used that day. My girls had indicated to me in the past that it wasn’t so much the sex but me channelling the magic through them when I came. I was going to try to be the...
We were packed up ready to go on our next adventure. It was late autumn, and we were looking forward to going and seeing how our new village was developing. Tara had sent me countless reports and thanked us for the power systems. Volt, one of the shifters from the City that had married into my family, was an electrician, so they didn’t need a crew to come set up the systems. I scratched Hornville, Barton and our homestead from the list of towns needing an electrical crew. Volt had planned...
We had not long rounded the Horn of Federation when we saw the storm. It was bearing down on us from the north-west. The air smelt funny and the sky to the west was dark as far as we could see. Dazzle, the first mated was very worried, and I didn’t blame him. He recommended that rather than turn out to sea as were planning, we go further down the coast and look for a cove that we could hide in. I had seen the results of one of these storms going over land and the mess it made to both the...
The next two days were very busy. Bea being an Earth mage made sure the house paddock was smooth to reduce tripping hazards. She also tidied up the drive and the area beside the new barn Greta, and I had built. The outer floor and walls of the barn are made of packed earth. We can’t really call them bricks because we used a spell to make the compacted floor and walls from earth. We also made the inner dividing walls, posts and second floor from earth, as well as the stairs. We did use more...
I pulled Opal up and looked at the tower. I had been surprised to learn that I owned the top of the second tower. The museum was in the fourth tower. The council chambers were in the third. The bottom floors of the second, all of the first tower and the front three wings that joined the towers together, had been rented out as offices, shops and apartments. The towers of what was called the Citadel were originally arranged in a hexagon shape. The Citadel was located on the western side of...
The next week was a lot of fun. I’d brought hard miners hats that had my crystal lamps attached to the front of them. I’d also made a heap of small crystal lamps that we used to mark intersections. Albi and I would scribe arrows and one or two words to help anyone to get to a particular feature we found, or back to the main cavern. We also marked dangerous tunnels that had sudden drops to catch the unwary. One of the cavern entrances we had climbed up to and accessed from the central tunnel...
I had never been on a long ocean voyage before. I’d travelled a couple times on ships when we had gone to visit the southern properties, but the open ocean was a whole different experience I’d not had. So far, I’d never been seasick. I think my merman genes had a lot to do with that. I had also discovered there was something new I could do with my magic. My fourth discipline was Physics. I could shape liquids and move air. I had a plan to make the voyage more pleasant. In one of the...
The trip to Ochre City was surprisingly boring. Captain Hail had set the suite aside for Sable and I. I had the master room, and Harry was bunking with Sable in his room. We even had our own little reading room between our rooms and a little bathroom. The ship was now fully lit, and they even had a better pump, so we had water for the showers. Silver had added a new water tank in the hold as part of our ballast, so we no longer carried the water barrels. She had even fitted a special...
-- Ant - 2057 -- Our team soon settled into their new lives. We didn’t get to take the first team of construction workers to the Moon. UNSEC had built a larger ship that could house thirty people. It would become the base until the construction crew got the first dome built. A lot of planning had gone into the design of these domes to reduce construction time. Once the underground bases had been constructed, the Domes would be built like giant jigsaw puzzles. They could be built with no...
We found a deserted farm about 2km down the road. The barn was barely big enough for the mothers, but it got them out of the cold. A storm was coming up from the south, and it had a decided chill to it. The herd I had collected from the mountain surrounded my young heifers to keep them warm. Big Ben took up guard duties. I had Bea and Cora touch me, and we were able to create a shield big enough to cover the small house and the barn. If anyone passing by, remembered the farm being there,...
My people had organised activities since this was a first official day of the party. We expected everyone to be here by noon depending on where they had camped the night before. Since all of the players were here, the festivities started in earnest. I was surprised to see that several couples were already inseparable. Since my friends had arrived early, their Herds had taken to the spirit of the occasion and had been checking out who was who and who might tickle their fancy. They also...
Garson was a large city. Cora had often come here to sell their bighorns and woollies, so she knew it well. It looked like she was going to prove very useful. We had to wait for an agent to come aboard the ship before we could unload. He was a pompous arse, and I immediately took a dislike to him. The first thing he asked was what did we have on board. The Captain had docked his ship down the end of the wharf near the stock pens. The dickhead had to have heard several of our bighorns...
It was a beautiful morning to set sail. With the speed of our ship, we should be in Weston late in the day on the second day. Trixi and Foxi had both been to Weston, so they were happy to be out tour guides in the city. Albi would be our guide in the mountains. I think the smoothness of the travel had them all amazed that they were on a ship at sea. We had picked up ten other passengers, a family of four, two single men and two couples. They too found our ship odd. Albi bunked in with...
Trixi took me to see the herds nearest herds to town, which were was sick. I explained my methods of overcoming the sickness to the people she introduced me to. I healed the worst animals and informed them that feeding the mash with the extra salt should get the rest back into good health along with checking that the hay didn’t have the tell-tale mould that seemed to be partially responsible. They had the mould on all three properties, and I told them of my better storage methods for the...
Once were docked we spent the afternoon wandering the docks. We worked out many of the ships were from Weston. A few were from Federation, and several smaller ships were from Orient. They also had a large fishing fleet. There were plenty of taverns and other places dedicated to the entertainment of sailors. We checked out the markets, and I even found a bank and organised an account. I wandered in and out of several jewellery stores. I found some of their styles interesting, but from what I...
As I had predicted, Snort managed to get half his heifers pregnant in the first four days. Tally and I decided to split the herd into six lots before he did the rest. Five lots had ten cows in each. Half were pregnant, and the other half were not. The sixth lot included the other ten girls and Snort. If the owners of the first five lots wanted Snort to finish the job, they would have to pay his new owner. Else, they could put them to their own bulls. We considered this fair and the feedback...
-- Philip - 2061 -- Ant and I looked at the Rih drive. There was no way we were going to get that baby going again. She was Fucked with a capital ‘F’. I was still surprised the computer hadn’t shut it down. It must have failed catastrophically to melt as it had. We went and checked the other three drives. The second drive on this end was fine, giving us some hope. I suggested we might need to do a spacewalk. Theoretical we could drop the cones off and replace them. It was also possible the...
It was five years later before I claimed my sixth spouse. Inx’s family had moved to Ochre from Weston. She had been born in a tiny village that was north of Unna, in Orient. They still had problems with slavers, so her family moved. Her family had moved around a lot before settling in Weston for a while. When they heard people could go to the protected city of Ochre, they had applied. They did very well in Ochre finding the people there much more accepting of them being shifters. She became...
-- Storm -- I was a happy man. While my sons were still a mystery to be solved, I had at least gotten my daughters back. I can’t believe my amazing Crystal. She had done everything in her power to save her spirit friend even from himself. In my mind, that made her an exception wizard, and I wished I could give her a box she truly deserved. As for Sable, I took great delight in contacting Bron and telling him what his amazing son had done for my daughter and me. If she wants to marry him,...
We spent two more weeks in town. When I’d asked Rose where she found the extra organisers that I had requested I had learnt some things that I didn’t know. Rose admitted to me that Garnet and Iren had fixed a little replicator that was designed to be portable. It only made items that could fit into a 40cm square by 50cm long area. It was designed to go to new mining sites to provide basics for the miners like toiletries, bedding, small tools, work clothes and safety items like boots,...
The next two weeks were uneventful. We had good weather all the way. The ship went even faster with the clean hull. I think all the damn crystals they had embedded in the ship helped as well. The food was awesome. We had fresh produce every day. The cook, Ben, excelled himself. The ship normally had sixteen crew members, but since the Captain had a feeling he was going to have a bored crew on a ship that would rarely break down, we had left six of the crew with the girls. Half of his crew...
My first meeting was with the rent collectors. I’d spent some time the night before going through the two sets of books I’d retrieved from Enders office. I was appalled by what I had found. When I compared the amounts, I guessed they had ripped off my grandfather over the years but their bank accounts would not show much of the money, which would have been spent or hidden. Going by the decor of the apartment, I could see where a lot of Higgins’ money went. Ender was a different story....
Greta and I left the Bulls to their own devices. I had a couple of meetings I had promised to attend, and the last town forum was being run that afternoon. It was the candidates’ last chance to convince the locals to vote for them. Things had been going well for the first half hour then a few people started asking strange questions of the clerks’ that were running for election and Anna and Nat. They wanted to know things like what spells I had put on them and how often they had to fuck...
The coronation went well. Four of the five Lords attended. The fifth was the one was who caused a lot of speculation. He had sent word that he was indisposed. They had an illness affecting his people, so they didn’t even send a representative. Ryan told me Lord Mark Metal owned a valley that was further away than many of the others. He was also very old and being indisposed wasn’t something new to them. While the Lords operated the Shires in a rough semi-circle around Weston, Mark’s Shire,...
Once we were packed, we headed down the passageway. The man-made features lasted longer in this tunnel. Initially, it was rectangular. After about 20m, it changed abruptly. When I investigated, I pointed out to Mica that I believed it had once ended with a spelled door. When we had flashed our lights down this tunnel, it had appeared as a dead end. It was only as we got to the end did we realise it joined a cross passageway. The new path had a lower more rounded roof and was narrower. We...
Jay turned off his cornerstone and became visible. I noted the calculating look Casey sent his way. I wished her luck. I had a feeling Harry would soon disillusion her of her aspirations. I noted the way Jay looking over Mica and Casey. While it was a look of appreciation for two fine looking women, I knew as well he did that his heart was in Harry’s hands. He was perfectly happy that it was. I suspected my little effort the night before had affected all of those in camp. Harry and Jay...
I was amused to be seated at the head of the table. Greta was on my left and Cavil had the other end of the table. The Bellows may have been wondering what was going on, but I wasn’t in any hurry to tell them. Dick had been seated beside Greta and his sons interspaced with Cavil’s three main spouses at my request. I had invited only one of my grandfather’s people to be at the main table. I was interested as to why my sister Jose had been part of his entourage. She had been seated on my...
Lady Di came out to meet us when we got to her homestead. She seemed in a good mood and pleased to see Cora and me. She gave Bea a couple of long looks, but she didn’t behave inappropriately towards her or Cora. She told me that the reports from her other properties were coming back that the sickness had gone and the herds were improving in health. We went to look at the herd she had purchased from me, and I introduced Snort to Bea. We all laughed when he gave her a big sloppy kiss. He...
On the trip home, we had an interesting discussion. I wanted to go to Weston. Goran had fired up my interest. Sable was adamant that he would be coming too. Harry said if Sable went then he went. Rose said where I went she went. Rose amused me because she seemed to relish the idea of going to visit Silver’s City, so she didn’t even attempt to talk me out of the trip. I also suspected she had a thing for Silver. They had become best buddies when they met in Horn City. I did occasionally...
Cavil’s spouses were confused when he announced that he was no longer married to them. They were not sure why he was now saying they weren’t married, as they all believed that they were now my spouses. We confused them a little more when we explained the status-quo. They weren’t my spouses either. I patiently explained to them that since Cavil had proclaimed that he had stepped down as Bull the marriages were considered null-and-void. They all nodded to this. I then explained that I didn’t...
The big family meeting went better than I expected. While I had shelved a few projects until we got the site for the new village surveyed, we still had plenty of work to keep people busy. I think the fact I wasn’t going to evict anyone also helped. They all understood that I expected them to earn the wages they would be paid. The only real bank we had on the island was in Horn City. Other than that, there was just the money in a Bull’s coin chest. I wanted to introduce a system as I had...
Leigh handed the floor over to me. I laid out some of my plans to the other Bulls. I also looked at Leigh and Bob as I included plans that they could get involved in as my nearest neighbours. I could see them all looking at each other as their minds filled with ideas. I suggest that we retired to the lunch tables so we could mingle. This suggestion was unanimously agreed upon, and the Bulls headed out with a lot of excited chatter. I collared Cavil and got him to wait for me. I had to stop...
“I still can’t believe my magic box opened for you?” I said, to Sable. “I’m as surprised as you are, daddy. I just told the box we needed to charge the crystals to help you, and it opened for me,” he replied. “You are probably the only person it would open for too, son,” I said. “My entity likes you for some obscure reason.” Sable chuckled, “It loves you, dad. I think you frightened it when you collapsed. So it was willing to trust me so Trixi and I could help you.” I looked around the...
Bea wasn’t shy by any means. I stopped and checked what the bathing arrangements were and the landlady said she had two buckets of hot water ready if I wished to carry them up to my room. The tub was already in place as were towels and bathing requirements. I went to the kitchen with her, and she filled the buckets for me. I carefully took them up the back stairs. We were in a large room near the back stairs. I put the buckets down and swung the door to our room open. Picking up the...
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 party after the election was massive. It may sound a bit anti-climactic, but I was happy with the outcome of the election. The clerks that I was happy to see promoted were. The candidates I felt would be voted in were and the candidates I felt would take Clerk jobs did. Most importantly, Vaughn shoed it in. I wonder how many people noticed the ring on Vaughn’s finger. Yeah, he got two promotions. I had found him after I’d dealt with Dale and his spouses. I also collected Anna, Nat,...
I went home to get my girls. I was so happy to be home. The family greeted me with a lot of enthusiasm. I spent the day sorting out problems with different projects and finally got to spend some time with my girls. Bea and Cora were bloody horny that night. It had been nearly three weeks since I was home and the girls planned for me to make up for my absence. I was more than happy to indulge them. They intended to get more involved in the running of the property, and both had decided to...
I let Greta into the room in the morning. I wasn’t really surprised to find Honey gone when I got up in the morning. Greta sat me on the bed and informed me that Bea and Cora helped her pack. Honey had appeared in their room hysterical. She explained that she had behaved very badly. My reactions and look of horror had snapped her out of whatever spell she had been under. She couldn’t believe that she had done what she had. She told them she couldn’t face me. So they helped her pack and...
