-- Earth time: 2087--
The next eight years were busy for me.
I felt I had become a permanent student. For every course I could do at the University, I could do two online. I had to do catch-up courses for chemistry, maths and physics before I could enrol properly. This took up the first year. I was glad I had plenty of money and didn’t have to worry about finances.
I then started studying seriously. I was amazed by just how much I had to learn. Even with my phenomenal memory, it seemed to take longer than I thought it should for me to get the information to link together and make sense in my head.
Having a child to raise also didn’t help as Daniel still needed a lot of my time in the first four years until I could get him into school properly. I had an argument here, as they said he should wait another year, but I told them he was driving me nuts.
He could already read better than kids in the second grade could. He could write his name and several other words. He could even count to twenty and add up numbers that came to ten.
I got one of the schools that offered gifted programs to accept him. It meant I had to move, but it was easier to live closer to his school than being closer to mine. I was able to get him into an after school program, so I had time to get home to him from the University on the days I had to attend.
As for my love life, for the first four years, it was the pits. I had met Mike in my first year, but he already had a steady girlfriend. With the ratio of men to women being one to two, most blokes didn’t have a lot of trouble finding girlfriends.
I had to use a glamour and frequent the local nightclubs and pubs. I had organised a babysitter saying I had late classes and tried not to stay out late. I didn’t want to get involved with the blokes from the University.
Most of the men who were in the clubs and pubs were only after free sex, so that suited me fine, as that’s all I wanted them for too. I had been able to keep my need down to once a fortnight with wearing the armlets, but I was happier if I got a sexual fix at least once a week.
It also seemed to help me study if I got it more often. If my need got too bad, I resorted to a little compulsion to get what I wanted. It was some of the lousiest sex I’d ever had, and I knew why most of the men were not claimed.
My main problem was because of my gifts I found it hard finding blokes to actually satisfy me. I’d had several short relationships in the first four years. However, if the blokes started getting serious, I gave them the flick. I also wouldn’t tolerate them abusing Daniel. If he didn’t like them on first meeting, they didn’t get a second chance.
It wasn’t until my third year at the University that Mike became available. I heard a rumour that his fertility test had come back with a poor result and his girlfriend gave him the flick, she wanted kids the natural way.
If there was one thing that kept blokes single, it was their inability to have kids. Many still got married and did the rounds of IVF for their wives, but a lot of those kids were from donor sperm. I didn’t want any more kids. So his low count suited me just fine.
I was also sharing some advanced classes with Mike so pretty much did the same as I had done with his dad and made sure I was added to his study groups. I let the others sell him on me and didn’t say no when he asked me out.
He wasn’t quite as serious as his father had been and he was a lot fun. As I had a reputation of not dating the blokes at Uni, Mike took my interest in him seriously, and it wasn’t long before we were a couple. At least I got regular sex. I also found that he loved Daniel and Daniel loved him. After six months of dating, I let him move in.
Daniel seemed to thrive with having Mike around. Mike for his part, loved us both. He seemed intoxicated with me and was more than happy to screw me whenever I wanted him to. As it was often, he stopped worrying about his lack of fertility being an issue with us.
The fact I already had a son didn’t bother him as he found Daniel a joy to be with and easy to love. The one thing that I knew bothered him the most was my disappearances.
At least once a month I would tell him, I had to go to Melbourne to look after some business I had there. In fact, I went to the Island to see if Tristan had turned up and if the portal could be opened to Amity.
We had been together for three wonderful years when I first came into season. As soon as I realised I had, I disappeared for a week. Mike was disconcerted, to say the least. I didn’t tell him what was going on only that I needed him to look after Daniel.
I spent the week in the cave. It damn near drove me crazy but lying under the crystals helped. I also did a lot of work on the bling trying to fix it while I was there. I now understood a lot better how to fix it, but I still had trouble getting the new gems cut correctly to replace the damaged ones.
I didn’t seem to have the patience to start with, and manual skills were not my forte. Tristan had visited at least once when I had left a message in the book that I was still having problems.
He had left me some gems in the box, but I still couldn’t get them to take the spells I wanted them to. I had his list of spells that he felt should be on them, but his wizard’s box was part of a Decad and mine part of Sextet. I was beginning to think I needed some different spells from his.
I had even removed the parts of my bling and examined them to see what was different. It had felt very strange to remove any of the items, but I needed the bling fixed. I wanted to give it to Mike.
I didn’t know how he had done it, but he had wormed his way into my heart even deeper than his father had. I wanted him to stay in my life and to do that I needed the damn box to work. I wanted to take him to Amity. I had this nagging feeling that that was where my destiny lay.
When I got home, I practically raped poor Mike. My actions put his fears to rest that I was having an affair as I carted him off to bed at every opportunity for the weeks after I came home. I tried to be as loving and attentive as I could, and I knew that I wound him deeper under my spell. The gems I had been able to replace seemed to help me too.
Mike wanted me so badly that he proposed to me. When I accepted, I could see his delight. Daniel had no problems with him becoming his daddy as he already thought of him as such.
I wasn’t in any hurry to marry as I was studying new material at the Uni and I wanted to present him with his box when we married. Mike was also busy as he had left Uni, and was now employed in one of his father’s companies. He was still based in Brisbane.
We had decided to put it off for a year. I still wasn’t in any hurry to meet Mike’s people, and this was the one bone of contention, we had. I feared meeting Michael. I knew it was irrational at the time but it was how I felt, and I learned it was a true fear.
The indication than things here not going to go as planned was when Michael and Vivian turned up to meet the woman Mike had told them he was to marry. Like Mike, they couldn’t understand why after four years they had never met me.
I’d let Mike take Danial home with him several times. I used the excuse of my business and Uni commitments to not go with them. In reality, I was working on fixing his box. If Mike got too argumentative I dropped, a small spell on him so that he accepted that I couldn’t go with him. I hoped he would forgive me later when I presented him with the box.
The parents, however, turned up unannounced. Michael was shocked when he met me, and I had difficulty convincing him that I wasn’t his Crystal even if I looked like her. It may have been thirty years, but something about me pulled Michael to me.
He tried tricking me into mentioning things about our past, but I just gave him blank looks. By the fourth night of their stay, I was getting very worried by Michael. He couldn’t seem to leave me alone.
The next morning when the others had gone out, he cornered me in the bedroom to ask me the truth of who I was. Somehow, I ended up in his arms and him kissing me. As soon as his lips touched mine, he knew who I was.
He didn’t know how or why I didn’t look any older than when he had last seen me, but I still affected him just had I had done, all those years before. I was shocked by the feelings that assailed my body when he held me and kissed me.
The memories burst forth from the room I had imprisoned them in, in my mind. I found myself responding to him. It was if some part of my brain had shut down and another had taken over. I found myself kissing him back just as hungrily as he kissed me.
It wasn’t until he slid his cock into me that I knew I had fucked up. Initially, I tried to stop him, but he could no more stop pumping his cock into me than that I could help but respond to him.
I cried as he fucked me. The joy of having Michael in me was a memory I had long suppressed. He may look older, but he was still my Michael my first love. He still fucked like the Michael in my memories and I couldn’t deny him my body.
He still kissed me like my Michael. He remembered my little sensitive spots. He sucked my tits and filled me, as only Michael had been able to. He made me orgasm as only Michael had ever made me come. I screamed as I came for him.
As much as I believed that I loved Mike, he didn’t make love to me as Michael did. I came for him and enjoyed his lovemaking, but somehow it just wasn’t the same as it was with Michael.
Michael seemed to come back from some far off place to find himself still buried to the balls in me. He was shocked that he had fallen under my spell without any thought of the consequences. I knew he had been a faithful husband.
What worried him and me the most was that he didn’t regret making love to me. I couldn’t deny my love for him no matter how much I tried. He didn’t want to let me go, and part of me didn’t wish to let him go.
I knew damn well, if I asked, he’d come running. He wasn’t even sure that he could leave me now he had found me again. I’d always had that effect on him. I had fucked up his life again.
“Shit Crystal, what you have done to me? Why have taken my son, too? Do you fuck him as stupid, as you do me? What a fucking mess. Why did you come back? Why did you leave me?” he sobbed in his confusion and desire for me.
He hugged me to him tightly. “I loved you damn it. I still bloody love you and always have. I don’t bloody understand, but you are my Crystal. I just know you are.”
His confusion tore at my heart, and I didn’t want him like this. “No, no, I’m not, I’m Mikes Talia. I don’t know why I let you fuck me, but it can’t happen again. I’m going to marry Mike,” I sobbed and pushed him off me.
I ran to the bathroom and locked myself in. Then I broke into tears and racking sobs. I berated my weakness for Michael. I let out my senses to feel for him, as I just couldn’t seem to let him go now I had reconnected with him.
Michael had gotten off the bed and dressed. I felt his confused thoughts. He knew logically that I couldn’t be his Crystal. That I didn’t look the correct age, but he also knew in his heart and mind that I was the same woman. The most memorable week of his life was making love to me.
I gasped at his next line of thought. He felt that Daniel was family even if he couldn’t possibly be his, or could he? He questioned the fact of why the woman who calling herself Talia was using his sire name, and he had to know the truth.
Vivian and Mike turned up, and they knew something was wrong. Michael paced and waited until I came out of the bathroom and demanded answers from me. Answers I couldn’t give him without revealing what I was. Mike got upset at the way Michael was treating me. It was a fucking mess, and I was in turmoil.
Vivian knew something strange was going on by Michael’s behaviour. She hadn’t seen him this upset in all the years they had been together. Only the woman, who looked like me, had done that to Michael. She had good reason to worry, as I knew Michael would leave her for me in a moment. I’d stolen his heart back even though I’d not meant to.
Michael insisted that they have DNA testing done to prove who I was and that I wasn’t related if I was going to marry Mike since I had the same surname. He then shocked them, as he demanded to have Daniel done as well.
I panicked and did my block over this request. I screamed at Michael to get out and told Mike to go as well. I spelled them to force them to leave. I packed Daniel up and blinked him to the Island. I demanded that the book, send me home to Amity, now!
It tried to tell me that it couldn’t, but I was too distraught to listen. So it once again tried to send me to Haven to Tristan hoping that he could help me. Nothing happened, and I broke down in hysterical tears.
I spent two weeks in the cave, but the book couldn’t send me anywhere. The portal refused to work no matter how hard the book tried to get it to respond to my demands.
I finally calmed enough to think rationally and took Daniel home. I changed his memories to a nice holiday on the Island and removed the cavern from them. I was paranoid that Mike or Michael would question him on where we had gone.
Mike was in the flat and was beside himself with worry. I told him to get out and to keep his father away from me. Mike tried everything to convince me that he didn’t care what his father thought. He loved me and wanted me as his wife. I wouldn’t be placated.
In anger, I implanted a memory of us having a massive fight and that he had decided to leave, and that he didn’t love me because I had cheated on him. I planted the memory of me being a selfish bitch and that he didn’t need me in his life. Then I sent Mike on his way.
When Michael turned up a week later, I did the same to him. It was the hardest thing I had ever done, but I just couldn’t let him back into my life. I had promised myself not to interfere in his life, and I did that by pursuing Mike.
I stopped going to the University and moved house again. I changed Daniel’s and my names. I had little trouble manipulating the ID chips and even the records at Daniels school so the information the new school received seemed correct.
I also implanted the idea into Daniel’s head to call himself, as I had taken his grandfather’s name. I didn’t try to wipe his memories of Mike as they were too entrenched. I told him that Mike had changed his mind and left. It was why I was so sad.
I’m not sure if Daniel believed me. He moped as much I did after I had wiped Mike and his family from our lives. Daniel had loved Mike and had liked his mum and dad. I had taken them from him just as I had taken Collin and Alyn from him. I was a horrible mother.
I think I shutdown. The spirit in my bling seemed unable to help me. I was suffering the same sort of pain it had suffered. I changed and not for the better. I decided all men were bastards and had no compunction in using them as I desired. I never thought to get help mostly because I was in too much pain to listen.
I spent as much time away from home as I did in it. I would spend hours just wandering the streets, finding some random bloke and fucking him. Then I’d try to pull myself together and hit the books. I desperately tried to find a way to fix the damn box, so I could find the love of my life. I pushed Mike and Michael behind the locked door in my head.
I guess I’d flipped out to some extent. I neglected Daniel and would feel bad and try to spend time with him, but my heart just wasn’t in it. I would blink back the cave once or twice a week and try to get to book to send me somewhere.
For the next four years, it refused and then it worked for me.
-- Earth time: 2075 --
I arrived back on Amity.
But this time I didn’t have Daniel with me. I asked if I could go back to get Daniel, but Vaughn said he had lost contact with the Earth Portal. When I asked what time period I was in, he explained it had been nearly a thousand years since I was last on Amity.
I screamed. I screamed and screamed in utter frustration and desolation. I couldn’t believe that I had been fucked over again. I’d been alive for thirty-five years and had nothing to show for it, not even my son.
When I finally settled down, I had asked about the city.
I groaned. What did I expect? The bloody controller wasn’t working, and the city was without shields. The people had dispersed again as they had no protection from other clans without it.
Those that still lived here lived in the old area that had been occupied when I had come here before. I had to start all over again. I was getting very sick of restarting my life over, again and again.
When I checked, I found all of the higher level boxes were in the room. Some of the lower order ones must have been able to be passed on, and most of the diadems were gone. However, only I could give out the other boxes with three or four gems, as I had put spells on them the last time I was here.
When I checked the controller, I found that she had left spores in the skeleton. I was able to activate her. My skills had grown in the last twelve years even if I couldn’t fix the damn box. Over the next week, I was able to get the shield for the main part of city restarted as well.
They had been down for fifteen years, and upon initial inspections, I knew I had a lot of work to do to get my city cleaned up. The other shields had been down a lot longer, and many of the towers needed repairs and respelling.
By the time I had the shields covering the area I had under my control the last time I was here, I was exhausted. I slept for five hours (Amity time) straight that night. Ravenous, I hit the kitchens as I had found they were still stocked.
I was still eating when a delegation of six appeared in the café. I eyed them up and down. “So, are you here to work or to try to tell me how my city is to be run?” I asked them leaning back in my chair. I planned on staying this time and intended to be the boss this time too. I never wanted to go back Earth, ever again.
I cast my eyes over the people and stood. I walked up to one man and kissed him. “You’ll do for one of my consorts,” I told the shocked man. I walked down the line and then back to stop in front of the woman who was standing beside the first man, and I kissed her. “Well, as his partner you’ll do for number two.”
I looked over the other four again, “I want four more. Send me those who you think are the most gifted. I don’t want old farts. No one older than the pair I picked and no children. I don’t care which group or clan of people they come from, but I do like shifters.”
I waved my hand at the four to send them away and sat back down. I gestured at the other two to sit. “Tell me a story,” I asked. I picked up my fork again and watched the other four out of the corner of my eye as they whispered and then looked at the pair who had sat at my command.
The others hurried away when the man shooed at them. I knew that I had picked the current Domo and his consort. ‘They will be perfect, ‘ I thought. I knew they were both shifters and I was more than happy with them being so, as I liked shifters as lovers.
I had picked a box for both of them when I had kissed them and checked out their mental state. They were new to the job and ambitious. I had caused a stir amongst the people when I reactivated the shields and told them the wizard was back.
However, this time Domo Reed and his partner Rene decided to come see the wizard. I learnt that there were a dozen factions living under the newly shielded area and this couple wanted to rule all of them.
I had no issue with a little ambition. I, however, didn’t plan to tie myself to this City, even though it would be mine. So I need people to look after it when I was travelling. I needed to find another wizard to help me fix the bloody boxes, and I wouldn’t find him on my Island.
I knew I was a little out of control and my spirit seemed to be even more distant since my breakdown. I needed my spirit guide to help me, but he didn’t seem capable. I felt that if I didn’t get help soon, I would be unable to fulfil my destiny, even though I didn’t know what it was.
I was also very worried that I was going mad.
I was talking to the couple when a second party turned up.
I looked this delegation over as well. I got up and approached the youngest woman in the group. I kissed her. She kissed me back, and I found that I liked kissing this one. The lips changed slightly, and I opened my eyes to look at the person.
The woman had changed into her male persona. I slid my hand over the front of the pants and decided that I liked this one very much. “You’re consort, number three. What is your name?”
He answered, “Lord Kegan, at your service Lady Wizard.”
I grinned at him, “Yes, I believe you will serve well. I don’t need them. If I have anything to say I’m sure you will pass it on,” I said and resumed my seat. I was delighted to have already acquired three of my consorts.
We watched the little group, and I grinned when Kegan shrugged and walked back to me and sat with the other two. They knew whom each other was and greeted each other civilly enough.
The next two delegations arrived together only a few minutes later. I noted the reactions of my three consorts to them. It wasn’t positive. I looked over the group. “I was under the impression you bowed to a Lady Wizard?” I said to them in a deceptively mild tone.
They glared at the three people sitting beside me and bowed. The very fat man stepped forward and went to say his piece. I put up my hand in the universal stop signal. “Not interested,” I said curtly.
“When I’ve selected my council of consorts, you can tell them your problems. We will have a town meeting in a week. In the meantime, I suggest you consult Olive the controller for this City and read the Cities Charter. It will be put back in place. Do you understand?”
He went to bluster but I blew at him, and he had to step back and grab his elaborate robes to stop them from flapping furiously around him. “Go,” I said with an icy voice.
The delegation bowed hurriedly and left. Kegan chuckled and said, “You may wish to watch your back with that lot, my Lady.”
I grinned at him, “Sweetie, that’s your job.”
Kegan bowed his head in assent. He was more than happy to watch my back while his cock fucked me. If I was the same wizard from the history books, then he knew that I liked a lot of sex. He had a feeling that was why I was selecting multiple consorts.
I chuckled inwardly as I read his thoughts. He had no idea what he was in for. Kegan, planned to be my favourite even if it meant he would be bonded to me. He also hoped it meant he got a one of the four gem, mages boxes that I had planned to give to my consorts the first time I was here.
He had no problem sharing me with Rene and Reed either. He thought that they were a sexy pair, and he was happy to fuck both of them. He was interested to see who the other three would be. He turned to observe the next two delegations that entered.
I also looked them over with interest. This group seemed to be more Genteli than the other groups. I knew they seemed to think they should rule. I glanced at the other three, but they had schooled their reaction to neutral.
I assumed it was for my benefit, but I still heard their thoughts. I had gotten very good over the years at reading people’s thoughts when I wanted to.
This group was also predominantly women. I could see one that was a possibility for accepting one of the boxes I planned on finding owners for but I didn’t want women. The shifters were fine, as they liked changing to male for sex with me and if I felt like a bit of girl, they provided that too.
The one male in the group was a little younger than I was looking for but he did have some height and wasn’t that much shorter than me. He was nicely built even though I suspected he wasn’t much more than sixteen or seventeen. Something about him tickled my fancy.
I crooked my finger at him to come forward. He looked at the others and then hesitantly stepped closer. I wiggled my finger to come closer still, so he inched forward until he stopped in front of me.
“What’s your name, boy”, I asked.
“Dane”, he replied.
“Kiss me,” I said to him.
His eyebrows shot up in surprise and then he gave me a cheeky grin. He slipped his hand behind my head and gently pressed his lips to mine. He then teased my lips with his tongue and lips until I opened for him and then he kissed me hard and plundered my mouth with his. It was the best bloody kiss I’d had in years.
He released me and stepped back to gauge my reaction. I looked at his crotch and then lifted one eyebrow and said, “That had better be real, boy.”
Dane grinned, “You’re gunna have to like em big. My daddy was of the Grandteli race.”
I grinned, “So what do you look like in your female form?” I asked.
I heard a gasp from the group. Dane frowned, “I’m not a shifter.”
“If you’re not a shifter then I’m not a bloody wizard,” I said, and I turned on my bling so they could all see it. Dane stepped back and looked at one of the women. “Mother?” he enquired.
One of the elaborately dressed women paled. “We adopted him from a shifter who abandoned him because he was born male.”
I nodded, “My son is the same. Except he had horns when he was born. I’ve never seen him shift since that first time, but I believe he has the ability.”
I wondered if my reaction to the horns at his birth had stopped him from ever doing it again. Plus people on earth don’t shape change, and I never encouraged him to do it even in private.
Kegan stood and went over to Dane, and he kissed him. He linked with him mentally when he did, and Dane changed. Dane looked at Kegan amazed when he released him. Dane looked down at his body. “Damn, I’m a hot babe,” he said.
Kegan and I chuckled. Kegan looked at me and smiled. I nodded in assent. Dane was our boy. Kegan took Dane’s hand and had him sit with the other couple.
“Well, that’s four, I just need two more. Please go home. Olive, the cities new Controller, is working and you can access her information portals. I suggest you all read the City’s Charter. We will have a meeting in a week. You are dismissed.”
The two delegations left. No more turned up in the next hour as it was getting late. I had my consorts get some food, and I discussed some rules with them as they ate.
I explained that I planned to find the owners to the six, four gem mage’s boxes. They would all be bonded to each other and me. They couldn’t screw around outside the group. If anyone displeased me to the point that I banished them then I would exchange their mage’s box with a medallion.
It had learned enough to make medallions and rings but that was as far as I had gotten with my magic bling making but I didn’t give them this information.
I explained that the medallion would stop them from going mad and it would limit their magical abilities. They would also have to leave the city. I would also prefer that no more than one consort was pregnant at a time.
Two consorts would attend my bed each night unless I wished otherwise. They could take it in turns or work out a roster I didn’t care how they chose to do it, just that they made damn sure I had at least two of them. I also didn’t care which other consort they slept with the rest of the time.
“That’s a bit cold,” Rene commented.
“Yes, it probably is. Once you have your boxes, however, you will understand to a degree. My partner’s box is broken. While I may become very fond of you all, I can’t love you. However, I still need to be loved and made love to. Once we have things sorted out here, I plan to go find someone to help me fix that box,” I told them.
I didn’t mention that my own box wasn’t healthy. I was hoping that with them around me, it would help keep me stable and sane. I told Dane and Kegan that they would spend the first night with me and I didn’t get any objections.
I gave the boys a workout, and I knew they would be even better once I have given them their boxes. Dane recovered the quickest, and he seemed to enjoy fucking me. Mind you, Kegan wasn’t a slouch either. Dane liked hard and fast but Kegan liked to make my body sing, and he took his time.
By the third round, Dane started following Kegan’s lead, and they worked me over pretty good that time. Having two blokes licking and sucking and kissing every inch of my body like I was their favourite lolly was delightful. Then they fucked me together, and I was finally sated when they both came in me. I felt better when I was magically charged and was happy to let them try to please me.
I had spent so much of the last four years feeling starved of magic that I planned to make a complete glutton of myself, while I could. I also hoped it would help to fix my bling to some extent, as Tristan had said it should heal itself if it had been damaged and had access to magical energy.
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...
“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...
?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...
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...
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...
Keven wasn’t impressed. When Leslie had said that her Duchy hadn’t been doing well of late, she was wrong; it was a disaster. Keven, Aaden, Kale and Selwyn spent some time, just jumping around and looking at the state of her province and the businesses in and around her town. They found three deserted villages along the coast, one on the east side and two on the west. They found one farmer who had stayed on his land near the furthermost village. “Hi,” Keven said as they approached him, “can...
Daniel grinned and savoured the bar he had. He found his thoughts drifting to wonder if Pip was as feisty in bed. He was surprised to find he was getting a massive hard-on thinking about her. He had to take a few deep breaths to try to control his reaction. He glanced at Pip and caught her looking away. He was darn sure that he knew where her eyes had been. To his consternation that only made him harder. She was having a decidedly unusual effect on him. He normally had pretty good control...
She followed him outside, still thinking. She had always felt that she wasn’t like ordinary people. That something in her made her different to them. She wondered if that was why her people had rejected her and sent her to the Mothers Cave. She looked at Daniel in surprise. She told him, “That’s what it was about the cave and the idols. When they wished to send someone back to the Mother Goddess, they would put an idol in the cave to collect their soul and then push them down that...
