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 been delighted to divert my attention. Helping run Daniel’s Wizards’ School has also been a labour of love. It was a brilliant idea and a great way for us to keep tabs on each other and bring us all closer.
Mikal is a brilliant teacher, and we had to build a dedicated server just to store his knowledge. Bron has also contributed immensely to our collection and even the development of our teaching methods. Being of similar ages, he and I have become very close friends.
Lee, Sean and other people from Harmony have managed to come and visit us and given lectures that are always packed. They have even joined some of Mikal and Bron’s classes, and the boys have gone to lecture in her school. Lee said her school is packed to the rafters when they visit.
Mikal did one of Bron’s theatre productions the first time, and they and Crystal have done some since. Lee said there were some very starry-eyed wizards after the performances and it wasn’t just the younger element. They have done them here too, and get standing ovations, each time.
The three of them told me they had a ball putting them together and I just knew they had. I’m still learning how they achieved half what they did. As far as a display of how to do wizardly things, it just boggled the mind.
I do wonder what the next few years will bring. As far as the prophecy is concerned, I believe it has been achieved as well as it can be. The people are slowly becoming one, as well as you could expect. At least we all have the same laws and the rulers agree.
You will always get malcontents, but despite the Keltrian way, I don’t think even they could totally subvert the nature of sentient beings. After all, people that they had cast out were responsible for destroying their system of planets.
I’m just glad that so far, we have avoided the same cataclysm happening here.
MikalSince my last contribution to this story, a lot has happened.
After Crystal and I had our little altercation with Dolton, I sent my ship to Earth. Crystal had said she had used a portal on an island, so I went there first. Xia has shields that can turn our ship invisible, so we found a convenient place to land before going to visit the cavern.
Xia was conducting a search on Mike and Mikael for us. Crystal informed me that theoretically, it had been nearly eleven years since she was last here. She pointed out things that had changed, commenting that there were more shops and houses in the sub-division.
She had seriously thought of buying a property and moving here with Daniel. She’d made an appointment with the real-estate lady but had missed it since she jumped to Amity. She pointed out a ten-acre property and said she had liked it as it was close to the cavern.
“They haven’t done much with it,” I replied.
“No, it seems they like to keep it private and natural, although there are more trees than I remember. I don’t remember it having solar panels like those. They must have upgraded when Sean’s went on the market,” she said.
“Aren’t they still expensive?” I asked her.
Crystal chuckled, “Not from what I heard. Sean told Bron about how he was selling them to third world countries for peanuts,” she replied.
“Is that a form of currency I don’t know about?” I asked trying to think if I’d heard that expression.
“It’s what you buy monkeys with,” Crystal said trying to keep a straight face.
“Ah,” I replied smiling at her. Apparently, I had gaps in my education. Xia was linked into the local satellites, busy gaining me updates on the political and social changes since David had left and what I had heard from Crystal until she left here. Most of my understanding of Earth society was out of date.
“Hey, they have kids,” Crystal said. She had zoomed in on the house, and the young couple had come outside with two kids. I guessed the kids were about eight and five. “Bloody hell!” she exclaimed.
“What?” I asked.
“Mike, that’s Mike, I’d know that walk and that smile anywhere,” she said staring avidly into the screen.
I was a little worried by the exuberance she was displaying. I understood from Daniel that this Mike had been very special to Crystal. I looked closely at the screen. “Isn’t he supposed to be like forty-six or something?” I asked.
Crystal frowned and looked more closely too, “He barely looks older than when I left, and she looks no older than me. Hum, something fishy is going on here. I think we need to go visiting,” she said.
“Are you sure, you wish to go that far?” I asked her.
“Yeah!! Something is very odd about those two. Oh shit! I think I know who she is,” Crystal exclaimed in excitement.
“Care to enlighten me?” I asked.
“Not until I’m sure, but we might have passengers when we go home,” she told me and then hurried off to get dressed. She fussed and made sure she looked presentable, and then she checked me over to make sure I was too.
She took a big breath and blinked me to their driveway. Holding my hand tightly she walked me up to the door and pushed a button beside it.
“Yes,” a voice said.
“Hi, I think an old friend of mine lives here,” Crystal said to the air.
“Who are you looking for?” the voice came back.
Then a male voice gasped, “Bugger me!” and the door was pulled back. Crystal and the man looked at each other in shock, and then they were hugging each other tightly, saying unintelligent worlds and then dancing around as the hugged.
I smiled at the bemused young woman and put out my hand in greeting, “G’day, I’m Mikal James and the lady hugging your husband is my wife, Crystal.”
He eyes went wide, and she looked at the pair who were still in a bear hug with tears in their eyes. “The Crystal?” she asked me.
“Going by the way they are hugging each other, I believe so,” I replied and took her hand. I looked at her as I held it and said, “Hum, I think we had better take this reunion inside. You are not what you seem, are you my dear?”
“Neither are you, and I bet our condition explains a lot about her too,” she replied. “So how did you find us?” she asked me as I followed her inside. We assumed Crystal and Mike would follow eventually.
She took me to the kitchen and got busy making tea for us. I answered her question as I sat the dining room table and replied, “Chance, if you believe in fate,” I replied.
I then had two gorgeous kids checking me out. I thought the boy would have been eight going on nine and the girl not much more five. She looked at me and said, “You glow like mummy and daddy. Is you magicians too?”
“Yes,” I replied solemnly. “So are you,” I then told her.
“See,” she said to her brother, “I’s told you we was, too.” She gave me a brilliant smile and then skipped off with a raggedy looking doll under her arm.
Her brother looked at me, and I saw a resemblance to Daniel. This kid looked enough like him that you’d know instantly that they were related. I said to him, “Did you know you had an Uncle Daniel?” I asked him.
He looked at his mother and then back at me, “Daddy said I looked like my granddad. Does Daniel look like him too?”
“Well, Daniel looks like you, but he is older of course,” I replied.
“Does he have girls making google eyes at him and trying to kiss him?” he asked me seriously.
I chuckled and replied, “Yes, and it gets him into all sorts of trouble.”
“Well, if he gets into trouble there isn’t much hope for me,” he said with resignation.
“As long as you are a gentleman and don’t take advantage of them, you will be fine,” I told him.
“That’s what dad says,” he told me. “Oh, I’m Mitch, My sister is called Gemma. It’s been nice to meet you, sir.”
He put out his, and I shook it. He looked up at me and grinned, and then walked away shaking his hand. I watched him with a smile. ‘He will be one to keep an eye on,’ I thought.
The other adults all looked at me. Mike put out his hand, and I stood and shook it. “Sorry about the greeting, I was a bit overwhelmed,” he replied. “Woh! What are you?” he asked me as he looked up into my face.
“A little higher up the ladder from you,” I replied with a grin. I then sat as I felt the ceiling in this house was a little low. I’d had fun trying to duck through the doorways as it was.
Crystal laughed at my double innuendo, and the grin on Mike’s face said he got it too. Pearl shook her head and finished putting tea and a big plate of cakes and biscuits on the table with other things. The others then joined me, and once we had our cuppas, I looked at Pearl, “So how did you get here, Pearl?” I asked her.
“How do you know my name?” she asked me with a little trepidation.
“I’m not sure if you will feel sorrow or not, but Doug is dead,” I told her.
She went pale, and then relief washed over her face, and I felt some of the tension go out of her body. “Thank you, you have no idea how much better that makes me feel. I was always worried that he would come here. It was why I couldn’t leave here,” she said.
Mike took her hand, and it was obvious to me that they loved each other deeply. I felt myself relax and as the tension left me, I knew Mike wasn’t a threat. Crystal took my hand and gave me that smile that makes my heart rate speed up and gets other things stirred up, as well.
Pearl looked at us, and I think she also knew that while Mike and Crystal have a history that wasn’t where their hearts lay anymore. She smiled at me and said, “I came here about eleven years ago. It seems Crystal and I also have a history.”
Crystal frowned, “How so?”
Well, it seems that I actived the portal. From what the book and I have worked out, when I was eight, I fell through the wall in to the cave. I hit my head hard. I was dazed and lost my memory. I stumbled into the portal room and onto the dais. Book said that I disappeared, and you and a baby took my place.”
“When I was escaping Doug, I told my portal on Pearl Island to take me home. Apparently, you were sitting on the dais here and it activated. You went back to Amity and the portal you were locked onto, and I took your place here. Some of the crystals here then failed, so the portal became locked while it was repairing itself.”
“We think the portal here stayed locked onto mine. Book said Tristan was able to activate it twice after I left, but then for some reason, it would lock back onto the portal I went to. If you tried to come back during the first ten years I was here, you probably wouldn’t have been able to. It took Tristan and me that long to get the silly thing to work properly again.”
“Isn’t that about when Storm said that the three systems came back into sync?” I asked Crystal.
“Yes, I guess having two Lord Wizards working on the problem must have had something to do with it,” she replied. “So how did you two meet?” she asked them.
“She seduced me,” Mike said with a big grin.
“Yeah, like that was hard to do,” Pearl retorted.
“What can I say, I’m a sucker for a tall blonde, with nice tits and a cute arse,” Mike said making us all grin. He then looked more serious. “After the big blow up with dad, I kinda lost it for a bit. Then you breaking up with me had me really mad and I tossed in my job and went bush.”
“I wandered around Oz for a few years doing odd jobs and then went back to Bundaberg. I’d had this idea in my head and dad financed it. So when I became filthy rich, I decided to look for a nice place to get some peace and quiet.”
“I remembered Daniel saying that you loved coming here. So I came to find out what appealed to you so much about this island. I was having dinner by myself in one of the open restaurants; just chilling out, when she wandered in.”
“Pearl just walked up to me and said, ‘are you married?’ When I said no, she smiled and took my hand. That was about ten years ago. I’ve been living here ever since,” Mike said.
“How’s Michael?” Crystal asked with trepidation.
“Good, very good, I’m not sure what you did to him, but he never looked his age even when I was a kid. Then Pearl did some spell on him and mum and gave them some bling and about a year ago they moved to a place called Harmony.”
“Dad’s teaching at some fancy school they have while learning to be a magician. I know he asked if you were there but I don’t think it was to bother you. When Pearl removed the spell from us, we came to realise why you panicked and dad was really upset for a bit.”
“He told me what happened between you, too. I don’t think your spell removed all of his guilt, but I did understand. He knows Daniel’s his by the way. I think he knew when I first brought him home to visit and it was why he was pestering me about meeting you.”
“He did love you, you know. He and mum had a few heart to hearts, and I think he came to realise that he was as much in love with what could have been if things hadn’t happened as they did. You were the first person he fell in love with and losing you so soon after he had let you into his heart was hard for him.”
“Personally, I think you two would have had a rough time. Dad’s a bit possessive, and I think knowing what your step did would have eaten at him. The shock of what he did was a real wake-up call, and he had to do a bit of reassessing.”
“Mum stuck with him, and I think he has finally come to realise what a gem she is and has let go of his past and got on with living a new life with her. After Pearl had given them the bling, they decided it was time to redo their lives. They had a smash-up renewal of their vows and then shipped out.”
“Mum said she is expecting a baby and dad is happy as a clam. He has really changed in the last five years and loves being at the school. He is teaching engineering and is thick as thieves with a bloke he calls Pete, and his other mates.”
“I think Pete’s the Queen’s dad but the fact he and a few of the others are from Oz and in his age group, they have all become bosom buddies. So yeah, it was rough for a bit, but he has come out on top. Pearl says with the bling he has, he should still have a long life ahead of him and dad is embracing it with a passion.”
I had been watching Crystal while Mike brought her up-to-date. I was relieved to see that she was happy that Michael had got over her. I wasn’t that surprised it had taken him so long. I’m not sure I’d get over losing her in a hurry.
I’ve had her haunting my life for about as long as he has, and now that she was mine, I’d probably be no different to Michael in wanting to keep her. It surprised me that I too felt possessive of Crystal. I’d never felt this way for another woman and it kinda shocked me.
-- 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...
“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...

I was feeling a little uncomfortable. I am a country boy that was out of place. I had to go into the city for a business meeting in one of the tallest buildings in the city. I found a place to park about five blocks away and walked the rest of the way. I was amazed at how tall the building was, it looked over a hundred stories tall. My appointment was on the 27th floor and the building was a very busy place. I felt lucky to find an elevator that wasn’t crowded. On the way up the elevator...

I gladly accepted, knowing how happy it would make my mistress. My first mistake came on Monday morning while I was attending to my morning erection.

The ocean raged like a wounded beast miles above them, whipped up by the violent thunderstorm passing overhead, but the tempest barely registered eight hundred fathoms beneath the surface. It certainly did not register to Tess, intent as she was on the moonlight colored pearl she held lightly between her teeth, readying herself to push it with a trembling tongue into the waiting labial lips of Eperia, her secret lover and the captain of the underwater seaship known as the Kraken.The true black...

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,...
