"Why are you taking Tescelle and not me?" Nurwari complained, with hands on her hips and a pouty look on her face. "You know why, Arrentia is coming with me and you are staying to help with the people that need it back at Dreams. And you also want to come with me to the Cresting Wilds after this right? Arrentia will be taking your place when you do." "Ho! Fine! But then you are coming with me!" Nuwari grabbed me and started to drag me away, but I stopped her. I knew what she wanted and I was more…-

I kissed and said goodbye to each girl that would be going back to Dreams without me. I ended up taking over an hour, but I was going to be gone for a long time, possibly a month. With the extended days, well, I didn't want to leave them, but this was part of the job, and only one life, I still had three more to go. "You had better take good care of the girls! I don't like that you're taking so many of the new ones with you, but I guess Kyra will be with you. You had better watch over our daughter, and…

We ended up staying up way too late talking about the different prep items, that I had to give Violet a raincheck on the fun times. We still fell asleep together and had a bit of extended morning. Violet told me all about the different things she had been working on, and what she would be bringing along for the trip. It was really nice to just relax with her, no strings attached, just us talking and laughing. The next few days went by in a blur, I didn't even want to think about all the little shops I had…

Kyra went and put Kyla to bed, and the other girls went and got more chairs. They also came back with some fruity glowing wines that sparkled like bottles of what a person lighting magic was. Blue, pink yellow, green, purple, red, and orange shimmering colors lit the table I had to bring in, and now we had a little party. Now, if we only had a card against humanity, ugh, this would be great. "We need ATVs with machine guns! And drones! We need the drone!" Violet cheered. Violet could see through objects…

"Well, I can see why you have so many wives! You must have to beat them off with a stick!" Captain Jenna Black said with a coy smile. I walked over to the corner where I had tossed my shirt and pulled it back on. I would just be a distraction from whatever the real purpose that she was here. I had told her I would give her my magic, and that I would get her a ship to fly. "So, here to collect?" I asked after getting my shirt over my head. "Partially, but mostly here to make you an offer. Since you have…

The long table was being set and our guests were arriving, Xelios's Family. Standing beside me, Xelios glowed with excitement, literally. She looked like the northern lights incarnate, and absolutely beautiful. I was constantly reminded that I was the luckiest guy in any world, but my thoughts were interrupted by a young man wearing resplendent green, white, and gold robes who walked over to introduce himself. "It is a pleasure to finally meet my savior, and apparent son," The young Butterfly Folk…

Trem took us back to the beach where the women and children were. All the women cheered when they saw that we were back, but then they all stopped when they saw Wendy and me. "Was there an attack in the bakery?" Dalmia asked, coming up to me. She ran her finger down my cheek, whipping some chalk off. Then Dalmia popped the finger in her mouth before I could stop her. The group and I all started to laugh as Dalmia started licking her palm to get the chalk off. "What happened to you after you went for…

Power flooded into me as the fourth Gate burst open and I threw the handle up. I was able to get it three meters up and I ran forward, throwing my hands up. I pushed the fourth Gate wide open as I slammed my hands up into the rock, and I pushed. The crowd had started to roar the second my hands slammed up, and that was all I needed. Plus, I could hear Ice Ice Baby in the background firing me up, so I flexed my arms and legs and emptied the fourth gate. When I shoved the block up, the ground under me…

"You're just going to give them to him and let him go? You didn't even give him your magic! How do you know he even heard what you said?" Cable complained as we all walked down the road, handing out meat as we went. All of us had armfuls of meat from the shop. It was just going to go bad if we left it, and no matter how hungry we were, we could never finish it all. So the next best thing we could do was hand it out, and the people were more than grateful, and at the same time, my name was spread among…

Our group walked out onto a stone pathway that was littered with shacks and vendors all selling something different. I could smell the variety of food, and they all smell rich and greasy, just the type of thing I was looking for. Buddy stepped up to me and smiled, but I could tell he was hungry for some barbequed meat, and that made Buddy grin broadly. I turned to the other but only Breth smiled broadly, Cable and Dwayne looked confused. Dwayne couldn't just read my thoughts, Cable only got the basics…
