Thessa's Odyssey - Part 20

Part 20

It takes three whole days and nights for the storm of magic on the island to calm down, the light from centre point isle can be seen from anywhere with a direct line of sight, and the sky is too bright to see any stars over the whole continent, and even the people of Knossos can sunbathe in the reflected light from the magic, only it is not hot, it just feels good on the skin.

I land the ship in the harbour and we take the tub to the dark tower, it is still dark, but it feels cheerful and happy. As we float down its steps we get to the labyrinth that changes and is in three dimensions that Willy spoke of. However I sense the taste of life nearby, not plants or insects or anything simple, but actual big sentient life with potential for magic. Instead of playing by the labyrinth's rules I simply blast any wall that ends up in my way and then I blow up one of the walls revealing the machinery that is controlling the walls and I just blow that up and finally the noise of the moving walls cease and I continue following the sense of life.

I finally blast my way into a... this makes no sense... a harem? Only there are naked men too not just women. All the women are pregnant. I leap out of the tub and run towards the high elves, dark elves, grey elves, humans, orcs and dwarves that are part of this harem. Then I spot the horror of this place, a deep pit and as I look down into it I see a pile of baby bones, several meters high. I can't look away, I just stare at the horror, my tears dripping down on them.

I do not remember exactly what happened next, my next memory is jolting awake in bed on Tethys' tits, I can feel we are moving, and I get out of bed and up on the deck and I can see the people from the harem, I walk up to each of them touching their collars and changing them to my own kind of collar. To make sure there is no chance of a new wraith being created. They all hug me and thank me for saving them and Aravinareth is kissing a woman who has a much more athletic build with purple hair and irises, even on her pubic mound, her skin is nicely tanned cinnamon, I walk up to them and Aravinareth smiles "I love you Thessa, this is Kethatria, my beautiful wind dancer, and lover, please let her stay." I giggle and kiss Kethatria and change her collar as well. "She was the one that was important to you?"

Aravinareth looks a little bit sad "the others were dead, but yes she was the most important to me personally, I will mourn my brother and sister, and uncle and aunt, I am just glad I don't have to mourn all of them." I caress Kethatria's belly "do you want to stay here with me on the ship, the both of you or do you want to go somewhere else to settle down and be happy?"

They both speak up at the same time "with you" they say and kiss me and I feel really happy. "Oh good we are home!" I hear from the crow's nest and see Trylia there and she gets down from the crow's nest "I am not leaving you, but I hope you will come with me and take a bath in the crystal pool in my home, I really could use some of that, and I need to bring seed crystals and a pool onto she ship so I can grow a new crystal pool, for us."

I laugh "yes I would like that, will your people help me build a garden city and trading hub at centre isle? I am going to invite everyone over to help, even the humans." Whom despite it all I still feel least comfortable with, as most of the men in my city had taken part in hurting me, despite its distance in time it still pops up and bothers me from time to time.

"Of course, it is the perfect place for a trading centre. We will help fetch any plants and animals you want to live in your garden, and I am sure the dwarves will be happy to help design and build the walls and harbour and all the technical bits. While we others see to the magical aspects of the city." Trylia says.

I turn to Maiazalia and say "Maiazalia, will you get your people to help too, with that pretty stone your floating city is built of?" she shivers "please stop calling me that, call me Azalia, that is my name before the wraiths tortured, broke and corrupted me, please I am going to be your slave and serve life for all eternity, even if you force me to do it in really bad ways, just don't call me that horrible name I took for myself after they broke me." I smile "Azalia, good that you are back on the good side, but you will still have to help me, and your people has to help me too." she smiles and nods "I am yours and if my people will listen to me I will guide them as you see fit, I trust you know what is best for my people."

I touch my skin and feel that all the oil is gone "I need a bath" I say and head back to my suite and soon enough all except for Trylia join me as she takes over docking the ship, using my sphere to control it, rather than all the other complex stuff. The others that travel with me join me soon after that and I float us over to Trylia's palace and we all step from the tub and into the crystal pool, it is much more of a tight squeeze but we enjoy being close together and we make the crystals sing as we moan and sing for them, as we make love until we all pass out.

The next month is spent shipping people and supplies to the isle, setting up one of the Knossos gates inside the dark tower, inside I find a big library of really old books about magic, all written on metal plates, in whatever language the wraiths spoke, I use my own magic to interpret them and learn the magical knowledge there, while the city is built around me, not so much of a city as such though, we set up a big market square next to the harbour, that we expand, then we create a dome around the rest of the isle that keeps the climate wonderful via magical means the tower touches the central point of the dome and the garden inside the dome is a paradise, the dome only lets naked people with no hostile intent pass through, naked, only I can alter that rule the sun and moon elves move there and while wearing my collars and experiencing eternal youth they get to work on attempting to breed as bunnies. Everyone who wears my collar and gets pregnant seem to have twins. Quite interesting that, not something I tried to do, but after the plague we could use some more people. My people will be safe and happy here with me, forever, or until they get bored and decide to leave me.

A lot of us are now walking around with huge beautiful bellies, containing the future hope of the world, our children. I am sure many adventures await me still, as the mists and storms of the big ocean beyond our continent has calmed, I yearn to travel there and see what peoples I might meet, places I can see, and adventures I can get into. Though that will have to wait till my children can safely travel with me, or at least do not need me as much.

The End
