Chapter 191: Good Fisting

My biggest concern right away was the safety of the people trapped. I had no idea where there were, but Trem had brought Tescelle and Alex, then took me to the location. Kadence came along to make a beacon that the dragons could see in the way of a massive pillar of fire.

Once there, Trem stayed with the girls, and after some quick directions, I left to go find out if anyone survived. I want them all to have an easy way to leave, and I could turn into a dragon, but I had a cloth over my face this time. it had been some kind of gas that had got me with the Queen, but now I had to see if anyone had survived whatever prison they were in.

I was running across a wooden treetop bridge and up ahead was supposed to be one of the places that had pods inside of it. I ran inside and people were already starting to move around, so I backed out of the room. They could figure this part out, everyone was just going to want to leave. By the looks of most of the skinny people that had crawled out, no one would have the strength to fight.

I left the hut and started to head back to my group, but then I heard a scream from another hit farther down the concourse. I was about to run over when the same voice cried out again.

"SORRY, WAS JUST GETTING THAT OUT OF MY SYSTEM, I AM FINE!"

I rolled my eyes and facepalmed, turning back to my group, and jogged back across. I wanted to get out of here and get back to my family, and Eva. I wanted to run her back, she had saved my life using her own judgment, and she would have had to act fast. I reached the group and smiled at them.

"Everyone one is alright, they are a little weak, but they will survive until the Dwarves get here to get everyone back to their hospitals. This will be too much for Arrentia and Nuwari, I don't think they are in bad shape, I just think they were kept in that state so they would be easier to control or whatever it was that she did. It's time we got back so I can run Eva back to the resort, then I think we have a grand tour to go on, I hope Titania is up to it."

"Depends how many more times you change her creation's name!" Kadence joked as Trem took us up in the air in an instant, we had all gotten used to this way of flying so we barely noticed the intense jumps.

"I changed it because that's the name I gave Nina's consciousness she left in there. Eva will be like a Driver Program that helps me control other vehicles, but she can also control them herself as you all saw her save my life."

We were back on the beach, and we had passed the dragons on the way. Mesh, Marly, and Wendy were all going to watch over the people until help got there and prevent any major conflicts. We didn't want thirsty slave trades coming in and scooping up different people and animals, so dragons would keep everyone pissing themselves until help got there, sorry help for all the mess, hehe.

It felt good to be back, the treetop area had a hopeless feeling, even though we had just reduced them. In time that would get better, but that place might get removed just because it was a reminder of a time that was hard and painful for all involved. It would just take time and the people, Beast Folk, and Demigod would need to figure things out. I had killed some of them, but the tiger, frog, and mantis all lived.

There would have to be more than that, but this should put a curve on the way things were done, but the job isn't finished. Some of them were going to be resentful, and not happy with the way things were decided. So I would have to make some special trips to straighten things out, that was almost a guarantee. 

I turned to Xelios, who wore a straight face, with the slightest smile, but she looked to be under a great deal of stress. I rushed over to her side, and then she looked up at me with shock.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Xelios asked with a confused look on her face.

"Wah? No, I was coming to ask you that! Is there something wrong? You looked so focused, so I thought something might be wrong?!"

"Wrong? No, I was trying to hold back my smile, I can hear my father's voice again, it's the first time in a very long time. I just didn't want to be impolite and smile after my mother was just killed! I'm sorry to worry you!" 

I started to laugh, really hard, and then I pulled my multi-colored wife into a gentle embrace, pressing my lips into hers. I put my hand to her face, pushing back some stray locks of her multi-hued hair. We held the kiss, blocking the world out, even if just for a minute, but then we broke apart. Xelios went to join the others and Trem, then disappeared.

I turned back to the Dragon Armor, Eva, and reached out. She had saved my life without hesitation, and I was beyond grateful. She reached down, and I merged back up with her, taking control of the golem.

'That was some good fisting you did out there!'

'Fisting?' -Eva.

'Whoops! I meant punching! But really, thank you. I hope we can work together a lot more in the future, your ability to make your own choices and decisions saved my life today. Thanks Eva!'

'Thank you...I mean you're...welcome!' -Eva.

'Now, let's go for a jog and you can come with me this time, you don't need to stay in the Dragon Armor.'

'Really?!' -Eva.

Maybe this was a bad idea, but I couldn't just leave her cooped up in a robot all day, could I?
