Chapter 542 Our Sworn Enemies

"It is fine. I know how much power the Guides have here, but the gig is up. Sadly, knowing this is not even half the battle. In reality, even without Nemoria and Kadeon, I will take his place, and Matthias will take your mother's place. That was his plan all along," I said, and a portal opened with Goldy stepping out.

"What is the big announcement?" The Dwarven Goddess asked but then frowned at Xena. "What village did you dig this one out of? She is gorgeous!"

"That is the Blood Witch, Xena," Tallia said, and Goldy flinched in surprise.

"What?! Is she the same one that was covered in black cracks?" Goldy asked, and Tallia nodded.

"Yes, now stop asking questions and get through the portal," Tallia scolded, and Goldy frowned as she looked over to my portal, but then her eyes got big.

"Is that really your island?!" Goldy asked, turning back to me, and I nodded. "Is my shop still there?!"

"Yes, but wait until I have talked to you all before going off," I said, and Goldy nodded.

"I got it, boss! You seem a bit different now?" Godly said curiously as she looked at me, but then Tallia started to push her toward my portal.

"Don't make him have to repeat himself. Once everyone is here, you will get all your answers," Tallia scolded, shoving the small goddess through the portal and sighing.

"Do you mind taking Xena? I will get everyone in, and then we'll talk," I said, and Tallia took her friend from me.

"Fine, but don't let the women dawdle. If I had my way, I would make you explain it all to me and then them, but I will wait," Tallia said as she took Xena from me, but before she left, I gave her a long kiss.

After we finished, I kissed Xena's forehead and let Tallia leave right as two more portals opened.

"What do you want? I was just about to go take a bath, and it is clear you didn't call me here for a fight... Are we having group sex? Is that what this is? Is that also your actual home?" Draconia fired off the moment she stepped through. Orchalla came through the second one, as Draconia was rambling, but then just nodded at me and walked through the portal to my house.

"No group sex. At least not right now. Just get through the portal, and I will explain after the rest of you get here. Don't bother asking anymore, and don't start drinking until after I start explaining things," I said, and Draconia sighed, then walked through to join the others.

After that, Goldenia, Amanda, and Giantessa came, and I waved them through after giving them the same spiel. Once they were, though, I portal to Elfinia, Claire, and then finally Oliva. After that, I had a living room filled with confused women, and I tried to figure out where I was supposed to start this as I tried to get everyone to quiet down.

"Alright. I know that you are all wondering why I have brought you here, so I will start with the basics," I said, and then took another breath before speaking. "Everything that we have known is a game fabricated by a man by the name of Matthias. In a reality much different than the one we are in now, I fought a war with Matthias, and he was known as the Dark Emperor. I wasn't able to kill him, but instead, I sealed him away and tore his very soul into three parts, but I had already lost everything, and I left my barren world. Later, my body crashed onto the planet that you all referred to as Prime after falling asleep for countless years drifting through the cosmos."

"Did you just make this story up? Since when have we ever lived on a planet named Prime?!" Draconia asked, but all the other women told her to shut up.

"This is the story of how we all met and why we are all here today. The leader of this magically advanced world was none other than Kadeon, who is also Tallia's father," I said, and the girls all gasped, looking between Tallia and me, but she looked like she was about to hit them all.

"No, he is not my brother, you dimwits! He came from a different world, and from what I know, he took my father's place and then married Nemoria, my mother, and myself. Since we are the First Wives, then that would make the rest of you the Royal Wives. Somehow my father was able to free this Matthias, and now the three parts are the Guides, yes?" Tallia snapped, her gaze falling on me as I chuckled.

"Yes, that is the gist of it. There is no point in going into the past right now; all you need to know is that Kadeon and The Guides are our sworn enemies, and we are fighting to get control of reality as we know it. The next thing is that I will be cutting our Realm off from Yaggisdral and the Twelve Astral Islands. Kadeon has always been in charge of the Zodiacs, and Cancer was proof of this. I will be severing the bonds each of you has with them, and I will give you my blessing in their place," I explained, and the room went silent.

Finally, Karma put up her hand, and I nodded. "What does this mean for us? The Winds?"

"Do you still have access to your abilities?" I asked, and she frowned at me and then looked at her hands with a concerned look. "I didn't think so. The Winds are Connected to this reality, meaning they will have cut off your power the moment that Kadeon starts to move."

"What are you doing about your mother?" Tallia asked.

"I am going to get her soon, but the moment that I do, Kadeon will be free to act. I have to drop my island down to the Mortal Realm and seal off the upper Realm, or we are going to have Zodiacs dropping into our Realm under Kadeon's control," I explained, and Tallia came over to me.

"What can we do to help?" Tallia asked, and everyone that was present nodded along.
