The next town meeting was a big one.
For one thing, we had an extra eighty citizens to account for. I’d made some big decisions that week and they were going to learn about them. During the week, I’d watched carefully how the refugees interacted with my people and vice-versa.
Kathy, Toby and I also hadn’t mentioned our change of status to anyone outside of my four girls. I didn’t have much choice in telling them. I had to ask Gale if she wouldn’t mind if Jina joining and me and her on Tuesday night.
Poor Gale just couldn’t get me to come, and I was bloody frustrated. She was buggered after the first hour of me screwing her in every position we could think off to get me to come. I happily fucked Jina for a while, but I still couldn’t get the release I needed.
She’d gotten me to come a lot sooner the night before. I end up getting them to change form and screw me together. It reminded me of when Pete, Grunt and I had done it. It was kinda amusing as we had never had a threesome in all the years I’ve been screwed them.
They said they were game and changed. Gale could form a real nice thick cock, and I happily climbed on her. I then got Jina to enter me, and I told her what to do. Jina then had a lot of fun direction the action like Pete had, and when I came, the relief was well worth the effort. I shook like a vibrating machine when I did. The magic flooding my system was mind blowing.
After Jina had pulled out of me, she staggered to the bed and flopped on it. “Bloody hell Mikal are you in season?” she asked me.
“Oh shit!” I said. “If I’m this bad now what am going to be like when I am?”
They looked at me. I turned my bling on so they could see it. To say they were speechless would be an understatement. Gale finally said, “Well looks like we’re going to have to double duty from now on.”
Jina made me hug her when she said, “Oh, how sad. We’re probably going to have to fuck like that most times to get him to come. It is a hell of a way to finish the warm-ups.”
“Oh, I agree, my love. Next time you get to be underneath. I want to see your face when comes on you like he did on me,” Gale said.
Jina giggled and said, “Trust me, my love; it was pretty damn good from where I was standing. You wait until you’re trying to keep hold of him when his arse is pulsating on your cock so fast all you can do is blow.”
We all end up laughing. My girls stayed a bit longer. I got a double cuddle, which I enjoyed very much and then they fucked me again before they left with their arms wrapped around each other and big grins.
I warned Hail and Effie, and I think Jina and Gale did too. I got a strange look from Indi on Friday when I asked her if she were to spend a night with someone else and me, whom she would prefer. I was a little surprised when she blushed and said, to be honest, she found me a bit much to be with all the time.
She told me that had also been seeing one of the Genteli females from the ship. When I asked her if she had stayed female for me most of the time on Mia was because she thought that, that was what I preferred, she had said yes.
I scolded her and informed her that sex was the only time I really enjoyed being in female form. I loved coming in either form. They both have their benefits. Indi had hugged me as she laughed, “Now you tell me,” she said.
She did cry off, so I let it be known I was free on Saturday. As it turned out the twins from Group Four approached me Saturday afternoon. Vera and Ulla said that they had been talking to Kathy and she had mentioned that I’d taken a liking to multi-partner sex.
They had been trying to get pregnant and their season was almost finished, would I mind. I didn’t really want any more kids, but it had been six years and I’d not gotten any of the girls from this group pregnant. After all over a third of the naturally born kids were mine.
Us Paragons currently total one hundred eighteen. Only thirty-six of us are over seventeen. We do have two hundred zoetics, but I have half of them in the outposts, and I’d sent an extra ten to Able. I had found when I asked around that others were then happy to move to new digs.
I’d noticed some interesting interaction with the zoetics and refugees. The refugees were going to learn a few home truths at the meeting. Many of these people were not endearing themselves to me the longer I interacted with them.
Anyway, suffice to say I gave in. It was a fun night, and the twins were bloody enthusiastic even if I did wear them out. Hail and Effie’s marvellous efforts the two nights before had taken the edge off, so I was able to tone it down a bit.
The two girls have three gem medallions, so that helped, but I suspect I mostly got off because they were in season. The only thing that bothers me is that I’m bloody sure the twins are going to have twins. Shit! That’s twenty-one friggin kids.
I need a vasectomy.
We normally held the meetings in the café.
With eighty extra people, it was a going to be a full house. It was just as well the seating side could expand out towards the street. We had already expanded it to seat an extra forty people. Cheffy had said he had made the kitchen big enough to feed one hundred and fifty at a sitting, so he wasn’t worried.
Tory sent him some extra androids to help. He added an extra row of serving warmers and chillers and just kept the food coming. Able and the families with her had popped through the Ring and joined us so that all of us Paragons attended.
The zoetics that were at the outposts didn’t come, but there were enough of them present that it didn’t matter as the rest would all have vid access by tapping into their controller and could relay any questions to the ones who were here.
Once the majority were fed, I started the meeting. I gave the refugees a little bit of background on how we came to be here. I then gave my people a little bit of background on how the refugees got here. There had been some funny rumours running around on both sides of the fence, so I hoped my little narration cleared most of them up.
I addressed the refugees with my next part. It wouldn’t hurt for our younger kids to take notice as well. “One thing that has been distressing me since we acquired the new members of our population is the treatment of the members of the Zoetic Race and their parents the Controllers.”
“As I mentioned, they are not androids nor are they dumb machines. They are sentient beings. They have names, personalities and can think for themselves. They have feelings as those new members who have bothered to get to know some of them, have learnt.”
“For those few people, I thank you very much for your efforts. As for the majority, however, I am appalled, by both your attitudes and behaviour,” I said in an angry tone. I looked at the new members, calculating their reactions to my statement. I knew I had their attention at the very least.
Then I continued, “According to the teachings of the Keltrian people before a potential magician can accept a magical item, they must say a pledge, ‘I promise that I will learn to serve, and act in the best interests of the One People, to the best of my abilities’.”
I paused to let this sink in. “One People, for those who are not sure, means all people. ALL sentient life forms that live in this community are part of my people. I will not have my parents, and the other zoetics treated like second class citizens because here, we don’t have classes, we are One People.” I glared at Tannin in particular.
“If you can’t accept us for who we are, you do not belong here. I have learnt something new about myself since you people were let out of stasis and allowed to join us,” I said as surveyed the room and picked out certain individuals so they I was referring to them. “I hate bigotry.”
“I’ve learnt that since one of your suns started to die the Keltrian races learnt what fear was. Fear is good; reacting to fear can save your life. However, turning your fear into hatred is not good. Hatred begets, even more, hatred. Hatred turns one person against another.”
“That is not the Keltrian way, and it is not our way. I hate that I found something in you people that I don’t like about you. It is something I must deal with so that I don’t let it lead to more hate,” I let them see my sorrow in having to deal with this facet of myself.
“The pledge had two other very important parts, ‘Learn to serve’ and ‘Act in the best interests of’. So what does the word ‘serve’, mean to you? To me it means to render assistance, be of use, to help. It doesn’t mean to attend to your ever whim or be at your beck and call or put your wants ahead of my needs or the needs of others.”
“So what about, ‘Best interests’? Who’s best interest? This one is easy; the pledge clearly states the One People. It’s why societies have rules to protect not only the individual but also everyone as a whole.”
“Comments and actions that are designed to hurt one person can also hurt those who care about that person. For example, comments to my parents calling them useless bloody androids have also hurt me, and every child that they have raised. I wish all of you could have Cee and Dee as your parents.”
“They are two of the finest people I’ve ever met,” I smiled at Cee and Dee, and they nodded at me indulgently. They knew damn well I loved them. I had learnt as much from them as they had me, as I grew up.
“Comments and actions that hurt Tory, Rusty, Cheffy and Cookie just will not be tolerated. There is not a member of my race or theirs in this community, who will tolerate that, as they have helped raise us all.”
“The controllers and zoetics are not machines; they are not second class citizens. They are members of our families and our community. Do I make myself very clear on this point?” I finished with force in my voice.
I was met with stunned silence at my tirade. Having a lot of kids make up your community and being a parent to as many I have, teaches you tolerance. It is very rare that others get to witness my anger. More often than not only Tory has ever seen me truly anger.
I took a deep breath and continued, “So we have several choices in how to solve my problem. I could put the malcontents back in stasis until the community is large enough for their pettiness to be overlooked and ignored. Be warned, if I do this, it may be for a very long time.”
“I could send the malcontents to an outpost in Rusha and let them get on with their lives and let them live however they damn please as long as they stay there and don’t annoy the rest of us. This option is still high on my list.”
“I could give them the option to redeem themselves and let them learn to live with us now that I have pointed out the error of their ways. I am delighted to say that I have seen several take this option already and I’m very proud of them for trying. This is my preferred option.”
I looked at Heidi, and she smiled at me. Tiana and Davis both touched her gently. I don’t think Heidi was a problem anymore. She had people to love her and a job she enjoyed.
“I have one last option, and I consider this a last resort option. I can coerce you to conform,” I said. The Keltrians looked at me in horror. This was the punishment, which Heidi had feared I’d do to her.
I’d read in Queen Tanisha’s books that she’d had to put down riots by using coercion. She had found it particularly distasteful. There were too many people to cuff or put in the correction chambers. I hadn’t found how to make the cuffs or chambers yet, but I knew the information was there.
I’d like to think I’d never need them but this community was still very young. Only time would tell, and I’d be around a very long time according to what I had read. Queens and even Lord Wizards don’t tend to die unless either they want to, lose their magical items for misdeeds or a sun blows them up.
I probably won’t look any older than the twenty-odd years I look now when I die. My small amount of vanity wasn’t that displeased when I read this. The girls all said I was a handsome man and a hot chick when I want to be one, but what do I know.
I returned to the discussion, “To put a few other records straight. I’ve discussed barter with the older girls and Tory. We are happy that if you have a talent to offer and wish to exchange an item you produce for another, then that is acceptable.”
“If you want something that someone owns or makes, you can offer a service for it if you have nothing else to exchange. We may in the future decide on a set value for labour and items, but up to now we haven’t had that need.”
“However, we consider food and shelter are needs not wants. Producing food and building materials, assisting with building and maintaining dwellings and storage faculties and machines are a benefit to the community.”
“We have always chipped in and done our bit when assistance is required in these endeavours, Tory and I do not want to see that change. It is part of what makes us a community and one people.”
“For the newcomers. I’m going to give you a week to decide on your options. I will be open to short meetings if you wish to discuss them with me. If you choose to stay here, abide by our rules and join us in building our community, we are more than happy to accommodate you.”
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...
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...
-- 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...
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...
