I really appreciated everyone being so excited to see me, but hands were coming from everywhere and I could hardly make heads or tails of who was who. Finally, everyone pulled away from me, and then Kyra and Kyla came rushing over to me, grabbing me in a hug. "I am sorry for yelling at you guys." "We know you didn't mean it, but are you okay now? You looked like you were going to explode or something!" Kyra said as I picked up Kyla and kissed her cheek, making her giggle. "Are you okay, daddy?" Kyla…-

I woke up in a bed and there were warm bodies curled into me. One was small and the other big, and I opened my eyes to find Kyla and Kyra cuddled into me. I was in my room on the ship and it was only the three of us, but then I felt it. The purple stone that had flown into my arm, I could feel it, but my arm was being held by Kyra. I moved my arm that Kyra was held and her eyes shot open, making me stare into them. "You're awake? Are you okay? How are you feeling?" Kyra rushed me with questions, but…

A huge cleaving blade at least three meters long flew into the giant's hand. He had twisted horns that jutted up from his pauldrons, and I could see red eyes glowing and staring at me. The thing had a massive upper body and gigantic arms, but the legs were a lot shorter. I rubbed my hands together, the guy was strong, but now I could fight one on one with him. I jogged up at the glaring giant down at me, and I waved to him. He gave me a strange tilting of his head and then swung the single-edged tree…

I was hit with a wave of knowledge, and it was like I was learning about something completely new. The way I had been using the power was stupid and wasteful. On top of that, I had been only using the Gates for their power and that was it. I opened my eyes and looked into Rena's dark brown ones and smiled. "Did you do it? I can't feel anything; did the Gates not work?" Rena asked, squeezing my hands. "No, it worked. Come, let me carry you up," I said, standing and pulling Rena up with me. "But I can't…

"I know, I was just playing with you. I don't know how I feel about you that way yet, but I can't say that I am not attracted to your personality. I think you're brave and strong, plus you can keep your head in a fight, and I feel like I can trust you. Still, you have to know that it isn't just that easy for me, I have so many wives already." "I know that, and I am happy just to know that you do have some kind of feelings towards me and consider me more than just another friend. I will leave it alone and…

I closed all the Gates, the troll was dead now, Reginold would be sent back now though. That meant that he would be going after Dave, but he should have had enough time to get more experience. There was no point in worrying about him now, I had my own life here to worry about. I turned back around and Rena was jogging back over to me. "Remind me to never get on your bad side! That was violent, whoever that was, they would do well to listen to what you told them," Rena said, coming up to me. "That guy is…

I could hear voices as we got closer, and I was surprised to find the other four all in the same big chamber. I tried to walk over to Buddy, but I was stopped by an invisible wall. It was like the curtain around the islands, and when I dragged my hand across it the images of the others wavered. I turned fast, Buddy had sent a warning. Some things were coming out of the ground up ahead, and they looked like some kind of mud elementals. There were six of them, about two meters tall, but there was a larger…

Buddy and I walked back to the girls, and I told them to be careful. I watched Buddy and Moshi walk off down the middle lane, and all that was left was the right lane and Rena. "Ready to go?" I asked. "Mhm," Rena mumbled walking ahead of me. "Hey, come back and stay closer to me," I said and Rena froze mid-step and waited for me to catch up. "We have to be careful here, I don't want you to get hurt just because of a silly accident. Let's stay close and that way if something does happen, we can deal…

We all ran up the wide trail through the jungle, but this time I was in the lead, with Rena On my back. She was surprisingly light, and I hardly felt her when I stopped up straight. I opened the two Gates and we took off. The path that we had to take was lined up straight with the mountain. There was nothing around us other than the trees that fell past as we ran, and even then I kept my head down. It was starting to get worse, but the mountain was getting close, but it was still another ten minutes of…

I flew over to where my friends were and then transformed back into myself. I could have done it back there, but the big dumb hairless ape had made a real mess of the place. So, it would have just been a real big pain in the ass to try and walk back off the broken landscape. "So, what is this about a challenge?" I asked the group after I was finished transforming, but Cable asked me something before anyone could answer. "Why do you have to always make it look so damn easy?! Couldn't you even try to make…
