46. The Dangers of Travelling... *

Soon the morning of our departure arrived.

It was two wagons filled with 11 women and children. Six on horseback.

We bought a significant amount of momba fruits, since they don't keep so well and made a list of everyone's amount so we can distribute the coins evenly once sold.

I kept checking the little wooden chest Zephyr give me. It was filled coins.

It was a shocking amount. I thought since he supported us all he didn't had much savings. Turns out I was very wrong. My husband not only earns well, but never spent a coin.

Former resident of Tori joined his training and now with close to 70 students he was paid well.

He paid for Olaf services in advance who gave us great news, the claw now ready and by the time we arrived back, the daggers and my ring will be finished. He also commissioned various medallions for necklaces.

Our humble Wold family, will not only have jewelry but extremely rare one of that.

" We stop at the camping site you always used, and I don't think it will happen but, we are travelling out of season so let's keep our swords close and your legs limber. - he was addressing his brothers and the Emil brothers. " Look out for ambushes and cut them to pieces once find anyone. "

Zephyr giving some final instructions to the man who ride with him.

Moritz and Manata both joined his training just as they wanted form day one and could be considered a step below me. Which wasn't good.

Metill rode with them but, mostly likely not a fighter. But with Alexander and Lucian join him, we were well protected.

" Don't worry big brother.. I won't fail you again."

Zephyr put his hand on Lucian shoulder and give him a stern look.

" You didn't fail me, I told you. As first rider it was me..." - he still used that day as fuel and since all three committed to even more demanding training regiment." It was me as first rider, who should've saw them. What I'm always telling you? "

" ..Better."

" Better! " - he grabbed his shoulders. ".. everyday! Now go kiss your lady and settle up."

Alexander watched and took him away. " Come young Lucian, on that day when , I faced those fiends, cut them down flawlessly, my mind..."

Alexander retold his heroic tale again. While I walked to Zephyr for our own goodbye.

" Are sure you don't wanna ride with me? " - he asked again.. with the same perverted smile like before.

" Last time I rode with you, I almost came on a horse in front of dozens of people. " - I didn't forget that he had to stop me but still. " I'm gonna stay in the wagon."

He pulled me close and grabbed my ass.

" Stop with innocent act..I remember how yomhmhm."

I silenced him with my one of my hand.

I looked around seeing if no one was within earshot first. " Shushhh....and stop playing with my panties. "

I felt my legs contracted and peeked behind me again but, the horses covered us. I reached into his pants and grabbed his little brother.

" If you wanted that ...to happen again, than behave."

" Yes my Lady."

I kissed him once more and grabbed even harder, he exhaled in my mouth and ran from him, before I let him bend me over right there.

I climbed in the wagon joining the ladies in my family minus granny who was in the other wagon with the Emil girls and Lucian mother.

" You look flushed Lylly.. " - my sister comments were reliable as always.

" It's hot.. and we do carry a lot of money I'm nervous."

" Righttt.. Any concrete plans for your new house? "

I made myself comfortable and started took over braiding Ilianna hair from my mother.

" I want some beautiful linens and buy those expensive exotic flower seeds as well. They will be great for the wedding later and decorate the outside our home with. " - I made several long list then remade them when I was handed a fortune so it was a bit hasty. " Also need..some clothes as well as many other things. Zephyr told me to spend this chest on ourself and the house mainly. We coming back with the village in November."

Demelza rested comfortable already and stretched like a cat. " You lucky, that house is incredible. Two stories but I also noticed that you have no farming land behind."

" Zephyr have different plans for us.." - I remembered our talk a few days, back from Tori village. " I will plant some vegetables eventually but just for us I guess, no crops. " - I finished with Anna hair and she climed upon her grandmother enjoyed her pampering. " Also we planted dozens of those momba trees around us, Miri Emil told me it will be almost 100 ft in a few years."

I wanted to buy other tree saplings and all sort of exotic fruits for the seed. Our house will be like an jungle from far away land we hear stories in Malai. Perfect time f..

" What do mean different plans ? "

My mother asked while playing with little Anna.

I smiled happily and told them.

" He wants to have a baby soon..so I can't exactly be busy with farming with the new baby."

I touched my stomach smiled like crazy person yet received nothing but good wishes and prayers for a healthy future baby.

" ..and boy." - I added at the end.

" Why would it matter? "

" Ilianna here would be a responsible big sister like I was, and as extra she gonna be incredibly strong. I obviously want more girls too later. But a little Zephyr would be..." - I just closed my eyes and saw us two blue hair, two black. What a combination.

" Girls? Just how many you planned? "

" Stop the crazy stares Eli. It nothing weird."

I'll see how I feel after the first few. My granny used tell me nightmare stories about the wonder of new life and the pain it comes with it.

At least with granny and Eli I'll be in safe hands. If it's not too bad, then one more girl or twins would be the best. Well it's not like we can control these things.

There was also another issue, well not issue maybe just something we have to deal with in the future.

Zephyr was a blessed. Someone walking around with powers it wouldn't be the first to have a child who inherits abilities of their own.

As I said, its just something we have to deal with one day.

The ride was nice. The summer heat lessens considerably in September and it does nothing but rain in October. By that time we be cozy in our home entertaining our friends and family listening too the rain outside.

We arrived at the camping site used by travellers in larger groups. This time there were people also heading to Malai and setting up or finished their camp as we got out of the wagons.

No one mingles in these places. Just grateful for the extra numbers in case of an attack.

I got out and stretched my legs, which become numb and helped down Ilianna and the others.

I feel like we been camping a lot lately.

Zephyr was in deep conversation with Alexander.

" ..need more space. We might even need another wagon. Although after unloading all that fruit...I don't know."

" True..the lists we been given are extensive, not to mention our own. " - Alexander checked the bundles of fruit visible everywhere. " We deal, if needed and buy one. The city has everything."

I stepped behind him hugging his waist over locking my hands in a tight squeeze.

" You gonna love it..the foods especially."

He laughed and looked back at me.

" I don't know love..will you be my guide? Just to make sure, I'll have a good time?"

I kissed his neck and rested my head on his back.

" I won't leave your side. Except for some private shopping. "

We set up 2 big tents near the wagons. And soon the fires were lit all around the field, just in time too with the sunlight gone not long after we finished.

" Let's get some food on those pots. Lylly and Eli go and get some water form down the stream. " - mother was hyped being on a family trip and was full of energy. To order everyone about. " Demelza will look after the children and me and Miranda will handle all the food. Go go go!! "

Mother gave out orders and clapped her hand.

Zephyr and the man were taking caring the horses. I saw him taking his shirt off and used some of their water to wash his neck and chest.

He looked right at me, blown a kiss from afar. I looked around and saw a perfect opportunity.

" Eli why don't you stay...and umm let Zephyr help me with the..you know with the water? "

She looked at with an exhausted expression clearly tired to even fight.

" Fine go have sex in the woods...just hurry back. Mom can't start cooking with out the water."

I took the bucket from her and walked away with my head held high.. and fast.

We had limited time.

Zephyr saw me walking with two buckets swinging in my hands.

" You need help, carry some water.? "

"...Among other things."

" Well let me just bring some honey, I don't want you to tire out.."

I stepped closer so Alexander who was near us couldn't hear.

" I want you to tire me out...and right now."
