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 find candidates for the other four consort boxes I made him but we will see.
Daniel, Pip, Crystal, Sable, Laci, Bron and I spent most of the next week making the new boxes. We also helped Sable make a new set of Pix boxes, and we made three Lord Wizard and three apprentice boxes for Daniel and tied them to his Queens box. He said he was happy to make the rest once he was established in Conner City.
We got Storm, Kim and Luke to come visit while we were working and they were both delighted with Daniel’s proposition. Storm also agreed that Penny and Ulu would have no problems coming under Daniel’s leadership.
Storm was more than happy to have Bron and his people added to his menagerie. Storm and Kim had already given Daniel’s boxes to a certain High Mage called Lord Hugo in Trenton. I got to hear the story of how they had met him and I felt that he was a good candidate.
I was amused when Storm, Daniel, Luke and Sable all contributed materials to Bron’s and my supplies for the making of the boxes. Storm, Bron and I had fun exchanging notes on the making of magical items as we had each developed our own techniques. The others were just fascinated to learn.
JJ monitored the ships that had fled Green Island. She was disturbed when she lost track of the ship Gia was believed to be on. She was still a problem but no more than, any of the other Captains who still had High Mage boxes.
So far, we hadn’t had any reports of the ships creating havoc. We suspected that they might lay low for several months and let things settle down before they ventured out again. Luke did mention that two of the High Mage boxes had turned up on Pearl Island.
The Captains who’d had them were not good people as far as he was concerned, and that just meant two less for us to worry about. We still had ten ships roaming around, but he was sure at least half of them would quit being pirates. Matte was still heading to the Nut Islands, and we would know more in a couple of weeks once he got there.
Storm and Kim decided to ride on Xia with us when we went to visit Penny. Luke had headed home via the portal as he had plenty of work to do with ships to fix and men to train. Sable decided that he needed to go home too, and introduce his spouses to his people and then go look at Fire City, to see how much work was involved with getting it back into operation.
Penny and Alexus were delighted that we were visiting. We discussed the changes, they accepted the boxes and joined under Daniel’s banner but only after, they asked Storm about twenty times if he was sure that he wasn’t upset with them doing so. I had to admit Storm knew how to inspire loyalty.
Storm assured them that he liked the idea of having Ulu and them supporting Daniel since they were all from the original decade. Kim assured them that he too felt that it was the right thing to do as he felt they were more than capable of looking after their own people.
He was happy to select new people from Galina and to fill his decad, and he still had Olivia and Ashley, and now Bron and Luke for support. Daniel informed them that as soon as he was settled in Conner city, he would get the other boxes to them.
Our next stop was Ulu. He was exuberant at seeing us. He listened to our proposal, and he gave Kim a lecherous leer. “So I’ll get to be a Lord like Kim. I can see a lot of advantages, and it would be nice to be his equal again.”
He looked at Daniel and said more gravely, “Daniel, you know how much I love Kim and Storm. I’d not be where I was today if it weren’t for them. I gather that the linking of the boxes to the Queen who rules the continent is important.”
“I will accept because I know that as your grandfather he will still hold some sway over you. The fact your mother is bonded to the Emperor doesn’t hurt either. I will serve you faithfully, but please, never ask me to choose between you and Storm.”
Daniel returned Ulu’s grave look and replied, “The day I ask you to choose, will be the day you will know that I need to be removed from power. Like you, my love and respect for Storm can’t be measured, and I am as loyal.”
Then he grinned and added, “As long he and Mikal never expect me to choose between them and Lee, of course.”
We all knew that while he said it jokingly, he was deadly serious. I’d heard him and Storm both talk with great affection for this Queen Lee, and I knew that I would have to meet this woman. While Ulu believed he owed his life to Storm, Daniel believed that he owed his life to Lee and her husband, Sean.
I was distracted from my thoughts when Storm replied, “Daniel, the day I ask you to do anything to harm Lee or her family you can have me removed. With all of the help that she and Sean have given me, I couldn’t ask for better friends and family. I still think she should be an Empress. I don’t know how she keeps tabs on four planets.”
“Four?” I said in surprise. They then explained to me the situation that Lee found herself in. “Good grief! Now that is a catastrophe in the making if I’ve ever heard one. She needs to get her decad’s upgraded and some more Queen’s in place. The poor women must be running herself ragged.”
“I told her that,” Daniel said. “She had been looking, but she can’t find out how to make an Empress’s box. Having the portal books mean’s that she has been able to get to more systems but from what she has learnt, Zara, who originally came to this arm of the galaxy, had come a lot further than the other ships.”
“True,” I replied. “Torus was a second generation ship and had been jumping along Zara’s path and stopping to check out some of the systems that Zara had flagged along the way here. Zara told me that her original crew had seeded a lot of possible planets but not left people on a lot of them, as they expected others to follow.”
“Her primary aim was to drop-off gates between systems and send probes to monitor systems. Her crew only stopped when they had too many people to keep in stasis and they found a planet worth settling like Earth.”
“From what I have learnt, it was off-spring from her crew, who originally settled here on Amity. The pieces of Torus came through a time anomaly to end up here when they did. Zara seems to know a lot of what should happen, and it is why she has been collecting us.”
“I suspect she can still access probes in many systems and when she time jumps she collects the information from them to learn how those settlements she knows of are faring. I think she took an interest in here and Torus because of David and Storm. Interestingly, I don’t believe she knows about the Empress’s box I have or Xia.”
“She did let slip that there is a limit to how far into our future from this point in time, that she can go. I’m not sure why or what will happen to her at that time. It does worry me that some of my children are aboard, but I don’t believe she would let them stay on her if she knows her demise was imminent.”
“Back to Queen Lee, I believe I can help her. I’d like to stick around for a bit just to make sure the threat of the contaminated items has been squelched. Once Crystal has had the babies, we should be ready to go visiting, and hopefully, by then I’ll know where Zarka is.”
“Why is Zarka a problem?” Ulu wished to know.
“She has been around the longest of Zara’s children and has the same genetic flaw that Sarah and Bron had. Bron was already showing signs of the problems it can cause and Zara is a lot older than him,” I replied.
We chatted for a bit longer, and then Ulu and Selwyn accepted their boxes. Ulu gave Daniel one of his small, fast cargo shuttles. Daniel wasn’t sure if he needed to shift much, but it was a safer way to get to places he hadn’t been, and Pip couldn’t use the portal system.
He planned to stop off in Conner City on the way home to see what he needed to do there to make it liveable and then he’d visit his other cities and set up the decad for Aurum. He had plenty to do to keep him occupied for some time.
Crystal and I were going to visit an old friend.
Zia hovered over the town.
It was odd, but it didn’t look much different from what it had when I had been here twenty-two years before, local time. For me, it was a lot longer. I got Xia to settle in a paddock just outside town while I made some changes to our attire so we looked more like the locals.
I even strapped on my gun. I wasn’t taking any chances with Dalton. Crystal whistled when she turned around and looked at me, “Damn, ain’t you a cutie in that rig.”
I looked her up and down and said, “Do you think he will remember you?”
“Probably, I did stay here for several weeks, and it was only seven years ago. I wonder if he will be happy to see me back. I don’t think he will like me having a gorgeous hunk like you for a bodyguard though.”
“Bodyguard?” I asked.
“Sweetie, we can’t do anything unless he behaves badly. While you may think corruption of a magical item is enough, we do have to see if he has changed,” Crystal told me.
“He hasn’t, according to Daniel,” I retorted.
“True, but Daniel hasn’t caught him doing anything. only his men. Otherwise, I think Daniel would have done something by now. My son is no coward, and he will do what’s right.”
“I pulled her into my arms and kissed her. “Yes, our son has proved his worth in my eyes. He didn’t hesitate to back me up on Doug’s ship. I was quite impressed with him. He is a son you have every right to be proud of Crystal,” I told her.
She gave me a soft loving smile that had its effect on me, making her giggle and she rubbed against me, making me even harder. “Down boy, you are insatiable you know. Yes, I’m very proud of my son. He turned out a lot better than any mother could hope for.”
“It’s a shame his true father never got to spend a lot of time with him. Daniel did love going to visit them, and Michael and Mike both loved him very much. I hope I didn’t screw up their lives too much. They didn’t deserve how I treated them.”
“Would you like to talk to Lee about them? Daniel said he asked her to find them for him,” I replied.
“I think I should go see them if they are still alive. With all that has happened since, they may be able to believe why I acted like I did at the time. I just don’t wish to upset their lives any more than I have,” she said pensively.
“I think we do have to go see them. You will have me with you, I can’t let you go alone Crystal,” I replied and then grinned. “Did you know that Xia can do a little trick that I taught her?”
Crystal gave me an odd look at the change in topic, but she took the bait I had dangled. “Go on tell me, I can see you are busting too.”
“Xia, can lock onto a portal ring and jump to the location,” I told her.
“Any portal ring?” she asked in surprise.
“Yes, I jumped to the ring she had when we were visiting Bron. It’s only big enough for two, but now she has access to the coordinate’s book, and since we peppered the hull with crystals she can jump to the vicinity of any portal ring.”
“I haven’t seen a ring on this ship,” she replied.
“It’s in a little room at the back of the cargo bay between the rear engines. Bron gave me some fresh bugs to put into the room and Storm gave me Sean’s data on creating a mix of chemicals to inject into the room to stimulate growth.”
“Xia just feeds them now and then to keep them happy, and the androids remove the excess crystals to one of the containers for me. It is amazing how fast they have regenerated the crystals in only the couple of weeks I’ve been here. Xia says she had the power to spare. I even topped up her hydrazine tanks, thanks to Storm.”
“So we could go visit anytime we want and in the comfort of Xia. What about me being pregnant, can we still do it if I am?” Crystal asked.
Xia butted in, “Excuse me, Lady Crystal, I have done some analysis, and I believe that you being pregnant wouldn’t be a problem since you are in the ship and protected by me. We can go anytime you wish. My systems are optimal.”
I chuckled and said, “I think Xia wants to go exploring. She had been cooped up in that cave for a long time.”
“Xia, as soon as we have taken care of Dolton, plan for a trip to Earth. I suddenly have a hankering to go visit a few friends,” Crystal said.
“Yes your Ladyship,” Xia replied.
We grinned, as it wasn’t hard to tell that Xia was delighted to do so. I noted she didn’t ask me, but then I think she already knew what my answer was. I to felt the trip to Earth was something we needed to do sooner rather than later.
I took Crystals hand and we walked out into the sunshine.
I shivered, “Bloody hell, it’s cold here.”
Crystal giggled and replied, “Well it is just into spring here, and winter is longer this far north.”
“No wonder Daniel wants to move,” I grumbled. I hate being cold.
Crystal chuckled, “Yes, where we lived in Australia, it was a warmer climate too. It’s one of the reasons I love Topaz Island, it doesn’t get cold there, either.”
“It sounds like it’s a place I’ll be happy to call home once we get back there,” I retorted and shivered again.
We strolled into town, I pointed out things I remembered and Crystal did the same. The same eatery I’d dined at was still in business, so we decided it was a good place to stop and observe. A young man came and took our orders. He gave Crystal an odd look and hurried inside.
We had barely been served our tea when my medallion went warm. I looked at Crystal, and she nodded down the street. I looked and impassively observed my old nemesis. It seemed he had not fared as well as I had.
He should look a lot younger than he did. I could only surmise that his abuse of his items were the reason why. Dolton strode with purpose towards us. I noted his men fan out to ensure that we couldn’t leave until they decided we could.
It amused me that they thought they could stop us. I had deliberately toned my aura down to a bare glimmer. I had Crystal do the same. They would know were magical but have no idea as to our strength.
“Crystal, how delightful to see you again. I was most upset when you cut short your last visit to us, so abruptly,” Dolton exclaimed as he came up to us. He looked me over but then dismissed me as no threat.
At first, I was peeved, but then I remembered that he would mostly remember me in my female form. I stayed quiet. I was happy to let Crystal take the lead for now. I was interested to see what he would do.
-- 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...
Summer was nearly at an end for us in Federation. We were worried about the two missing boxes, but considering the size of Amity and past experiences, I knew they could be hard to find. In my case, I had no link to the boxes. They were not my type of magical boxes. Raina and her mob had linked together, but they couldn’t feel the boxes either. We decided that it would take a Queen Wizard to find them and we didn’t have one on this planet. We could only hope that they weren’t claimed or that...
We spent three full days packing, two days shopping in Brisbane, one in Sydney, two in New York and three in Paris. We also visited about thirty other places in the two weeks as we did a worldwide tour of Earth. The longer stay in Paris was just because Crystal and Pearl wanted to go there at least once and they wanted to hit the fashion shops. Us blokes were outvoted. Apparently, Crystal and Pearl had three votes each to our one. I have a feeling they were trying to hoodwink us, but Mike...
Storm, had his head buried between two very long lovely legs. While he was happily supping on the meal on offer, a very active tongue and a wicked set of lips were doing divine things to his family jewels. He had slept in her room and had woken to her cunnie in his face and her mouth on junior. He pulled her hips down to his wet face again and sucked hard as his hips flexed up. She shuddered and he blew, and she sucked him harder. He grunted into her twitching cunnie and then sucked her...
-- Earth time: 2078-- “Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!” I cussed. As soon as I felt that weird feeling, I knew the damn book had sent me home. Daniel looked at me in surprise. He frowned at me. I sighed and sat up. I then picked him up, and balanced my son on my hip I walked over the Lectern. “Send me back immediately,” I demanded. “I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. I’ve lost contact with the portal you originated from. You look familiar. Let me see. Oh! This is very strange. According to my records,...
-- Crystal -- I awoke depressed. Another day to get through. I rolled out of Kegan’s arms and moved over so I could flop back onto my back. I thought about Vaughn and Harmony. It has been nearly three months since my portal book said he had connected to a portal on another planet. He has tried to send me there, but for some reason, the portal on the other side refuses to let him send me. ‘I didn’t meet protocols’, were the replies that Vaughn got. He even connected to the portal on...
I was speechless when Crystal walked in to say that Raina and the babies were fine. She was the woman in the crystal ball. I guess Zara had known that she was to be my paramour. But I think something did change. I don’t believe Zara saw me as an Empress in the other version of our future. I drank in Crystal’s beauty and felt myself harden at the sight of her. I knew she was still to be mine in this version of reality. I had no problem with that at all. I glanced at Storm’s other three...
I looked at the camera. Seven months old, Devin stood on my right thigh, and his brother Quin stood on my left with my arms supporting them. Sky sat cross-legged across on my lap and leant against me. Kim was at my right shoulder with his right arm around Sarah. Beside him was Lindell her arm around him and Bonny. Raina fussed and finally said she had a lovely picture. Sky scrambled down to run to her big sister and see the results. Sarah bent and kissed me and claimed Devin while Bonny...
I’ve decided the last few chapters of this book should be Mikal’s summary. Of all of us, he has probably had the most interesting year. While a lot has happened to me too, I think the others have summed up my major achievements in their way. I know that I’m a very content man. Being surrounded by the huge loving family that I have managed to gather just makes me an even happier one. I find plenty to keep me occupied and having my kids has also been a major distraction, towards which I’ve...
“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...
?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...
