10 Walk To The River

"GET OUT!" I yelled at Kyra and Alexcoria.

The two girls let the blind down, but Kalita had turned and burrowed into my side. I started to get hot and bothered, so I got up slowly and left her covered. I got up, and she didn't say anything, but she watched me get dress, and I passed Kalita her clothes.

I turned while she dressed and waited until she tapped my shoulder. When I turned around, I couldn't help but smile. Kalita was now the gremlin again and in a little green dress.

"Sorry, I don't have any dresses yet, but Miss Alex said she would make me some!"

"It's OK. I am actually more comfortable talking to you like this. When your, you know, I get pretty flustered, and I think this is the part where I ask you to marry me?"

This comment made Kalita blush furiously, and it made her look cute. I wonder how old she was? Not like I could just ask. I decided to get this out of the way since everyone seemed to want to join Hyde's harem of wives. I'm seventeen, and it's not like I don't want to mess around, but I feel like if I start fucking around, then I'm not gonna get anything done.

"Yeah."

"Alright then, let go see everyone."

We both headed out, and the entire village was waiting for us. Everyone cheered as we walked out and the elders were also stand in front of the crowd. Once we walked out, they put up their hands, and everyone went quiet.

"Thank you for saving us, Hero, from another world!"

The crowd cheered, but it was only half-hearted. The girls and my party were all lead to a circle just outside the village. Once there, we all sat down with the entire village. The oldest elder sat in the middle on a stump and began to tell Alex and me what happened and how it ended up like this. The rest of the village was just happy to sit and laugh in peace.

He talked about how the village has been a safe haven for royal bastards. The elder gave some other fancy name, but I'll just call them royal bastards. Anyways, usually, a ward enchantment was cast on our village to keep us safe from prying eyes, but last year the country that the enchanter was from fell into war, and they never sent one. Shit gets worse from here.

Next, Thurman and his idiot hunters show up and force their way into the village just to do nothing but bully the people. The couple of month according to the elders, had been hell for them, but luckily they never discovered the real purpose of this place. So this was a royal reject dumping ground, eh?

I decided to try and get ahold of Gripton, but I got nothing from him. Maybe that "Limitless Reach" drained him too. After the story was done, we were all brought various nuts and berries. These are cool, but I wanted some meat in the future, so I stood up and called my vassals to come to my side.

"Do you all see these people?"

"Yeah!"

"I have the power to make you all this strong and healthy! To hell with the days of being scared and having half-assed magic. Join me and take my hand. We will take this world by storm and set it straight, but before you all start cheering and lining up, Listen to me very closely. This mission will not be easy, people you see right now will die, and we will kill the people that stop us from saving the ones that need it, DO YOU HEAR ME!"

The crowd roared, and people started pouring towards me, but I put up my hand to stop them.

"Hold on! We have to set up stations first!"

Everyone looked puzzled, so I explained further.

"Everyone will line up and come to the first desk and name their magic and display it. Then come to me and then to more places. Those to will test your new powers, and the last will be a position designator. This person will tell you where your magic can be used best, and then you pick."

There were a lot of confused looks, but the elders were getting the four tables ready. They had instructed people to get some, and soon we all had spots, but Kadence asked to sit beside me at my table since she wasn't very good at reading and writing. Alex had told her that she would help with that. This woman was turning out to be the mother wife of my other wives,

Trem and Kalita sat at the first table, then us at the next. The testing table had Kyra and Harmonie, who had shocked a lot of people on his return. The last table had Alex and Ganth, who was really her errand boy, but Ganth didn't mind.

We finally got through everyone by lunchtime, but only our party was hungry, so we were served a feast. Afterward, I asked Alex to make a list with Jelina's new Schematic Magic. I wanted to go for a walk, but the other girls asked to come, so I told Alex I would make it up to her later.

"Where are we going?" Kyra asked from my shoulders.

"To go try some things."

"Dirty things?" Kyra squirmed, rubbing her bare crotch on the back of my neck, and it almost made me fall over.

"NO!"

Kadence and Kalita both laughed at us, and we continued until we hit a stream. I let Kyra down by squatting, but she ground herself into the back of my neck a couple of times before hopping off. That girl had no shame. Of course, she and Alex were related.

"OK, let's try a game. Each of you picks one thing from around here."

The girls looked puzzled, but they started to look around when they saw my take off my right black and red glove. Soon, each of them brought me some very different items.

The first was fancy looking rose the looked like it had mutated into three times the standard size. I reached forward and touched the massive flower, and it began to turn silver. Soon, the entire picked flower dropped from her hand with a thud onto the ground. I reach down to touch it, but it was solid metal, but not like normal. It had a more pinking tinge.

Next was Kalita, and she had found a shiny looking rock with refective flecks in it. It reminded me of fools gold, but silver, but the shine disappeared when I took it in my hand. Instead, the rock melted in my hand, and Kadence and Kalita both gasped.

"What happened to it? I would have had to melt that with fire, but now I can see it soak into the ground like water."

"My ability works on everything, but the effects are varied. I wanted to come out here and test some effects while everyone else is getting used to their new power."

'Or you just hiding from your potential wives.' -Gripton.

'Oh, look who showed up.'

'Where are your other two wives? And it looks like you have gained another one without me even pushing.' -Gripton.

'Fuck off, what the hell were you doing?'

'Sorry, been looking into your abilities more, and I got lost in the work.' -Gripton.

'So what now, boss? I have about fifteen people that can fight and ten that have abilities more suited to building a helping.'

'You have been busy! Let's focus on the forest, for now. These dwellers are easier to deal with. I think we should visit my son Maxven, AlphaKing, The Wolf God.' -Gripton.

'Kyra's father, right? Well, your probably right. Speaking of my cat-elf, where did she go?

"Where did Kyra go?" I asked the two girls, but they both shrugged.

Neither even knew the direction she had gone, but suddenly we started to two people fighting. All of us rushed in the direction of the sound, but when we got there, I was to take a double-take. The item Kyra had found wasn't just an item. No, the article was a small green man thing with pointy ears and a face that probably caused its mother to push it from a cliff.

"What can we do with this? Can you make this thing magic?"

She was struggling to restrain the little green man but was soon helped by the other girls. I walked towards the struggling thing that the girls were holding down and squatted down in front of it. It was indeed the ugliest thing I had ever seen, but I reached forward and touched the squirming little bastard.

*BOOM!*

Everyone was thrown backward from the little green man in opposite directions. When we were able to get up, and the smoke cleared. In the place of the small little ugly man were a six-foot green chiseled body and a handsome face.

'What did you just do to that goblin?' -Gripton.

'God damn it! I better get something cool like that!'
