Chapter 202: Setting Off pt1

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 make sure she doesn't pick up any more nasty little bad habits on the way. Cable has been complaining about a certain little wolf girl flicking 'Nose Rockets' at him. Those were his own words I would like to add," Alex said after we had a long hug and kiss.

The women had taken to considering all the children to be their own, so now I was watching over everyone's little girl. Most of them thought she was a little angel, but both Kyra and I knew that those furry ears of hers that were always pointing out were just horn covers. Trying to keep that growing little girl out of trouble was going to be a full-time job on this trip!

"I will try and break that one, I'll paint her a target to flick them on instead!"

"Hyde, you don't have to act like a seventeen-year-old in that body, you can act like the grown adult man I love. Just, please be careful; as you said, we are all counting on you," Alex said, giving me one last kiss before she let the next person step up.

I took Wendy into my arms, and we kissed deeply, but it felt like she was cold or something on her was. I pulled back and looked at her up and down, but besides her being beautiful with her sapphire blue eyes and hair, I couldn't see a difference. Wendy smiled as she noticed the confused look on my face, and then held out her hand in front of me, palm up.

I watched with rapt attention as she slowly created a little snowman that was about eight centimeters tall. He had no carrot nose or stick arms, but he had a deep mouth and eye holes that gave him a cute look. Then the little bugger started to move around in her hand.

"Hey! Look at that! You can create and control snow? Now that's pretty cool!"

"No, it's a bit different, you will see later that Kyla has a small snow kitten like this snowman. I can create little animals and then connect them to the person. I don't really know what they can do besides that because I only just learned that I have this ability. I didn't have magic before this, so it was by accident that I stumbled on to it. I can't control them, but they shouldn't melt, but the big thing is that I always know where they are. I would make you a dragon, but it seems that I can only make one of each thing at a time, so you will have to take this little guy," Wendy said, sticking her hand out to me.

I stuck out my hand in excitement, and she dropped the balls of snow into my hand and they fell apart from each other. At first, I was worried that he was broken, but then the balls rolled back together and it stood upright again. Oh my god, this thing was cute, and it wasn't that cold; cool but not cold.

"What's his name?" I asked as the little guy looked up at me with a smile. 

"Whatever you want him to be called, I heard Kyla calling her kitten snowy, so I think that one is taken. You can pick it when you want there is no rush, just put him up on your shoulder and he will stay there," Wendy said, coming in to get a quick kiss before stepping away.

"That is a cute little friend you have there! I bet I could shrink done and I and the baby could come along! You know I'm only joking, right? A little bit?" Kalita said while looking at my new friend, Icle.

"I wish you could but you need to relax and enjoy being pregnant," I said, taking her into my arms.

"Ya, but I want to relax with you and be pregnant! I know, you need time with the other girls, but I am still going to miss you!" Kalita said while peppering me with kisses. 

"I know, and I am going to miss you too my little gremlin! I will be back soon, and then you can come with me when we go to the cresting wilds. We still have a lot of leg work to do before we will be at the final battle in this world so just relax," I said kissing her, and then she pulled away, only to be replaced by brilliant red hair.

"Things will be pretty peaceful around Dreams for the next month or so, hm? We aren't going to have to run around and make sure to do all the things that you forget to do for an entire month! This is almost like getting a second vacation. Maybe we will have to start making this a thing twice a year!" Kadence said with a laugh, as I pulled her into a long and warm kiss.

"You will have plenty of time without me to chase around, but that just means the ones that stay will have to step up their game."

"Or you could just try thinking before doing? I know, it's a lot to ask, but dear, do please try. Or you will end up working your poor wives to death!" Kadence said while giving me a poke in the ribs.

"Yes, dear, I will try," I said, before leaning in to steal and other kisses.

I looked and there weren't many left to go through, but I ended up having to add a couple extra wives, for personal reasons to the trip. Now, Nuwari was standing in front of me with a frown, great, what did or didn't I do this time?
