Harem Reborn

Once I heard Sasha's name, I relaxed marginally, even if this guy was friendly, we were outside of the walls, and there were large monsters out here. Dresnal led us to one of the broken down buildings and inside was a trap coving something with wheels.

"Here is a dessert cart we will be taking to the caves. I got some helmets that with keep the sand out and a blanket and rope."

"Rope?" Kyrina asked with a bit of worry in her eyes.

"There is only two-seat, and the sand storm can tear your skin off your body. I don't have sand gear here, so your gonna have to wrap up and sit on Dave's lap, and then ill tie you both down."

This was by far crazier than anything else I have done before, and I could feel Kyrina shaking on my lap, so I held her close and kissed her, telling her it would be fine, but I wasn't really sure about it that was true myself. After we had been strapped down, neither of us could see, and maybe that was part of it all. Suddenly the vehicle started to shake and then move, but it made no sound.

As we rode, I could feel us move at fast speeds, but the way the wind whip and pressed the blanket. We traveled for about thirty minutes before the sand started, and then we could feel it come in violent torrents. We began to get tossed back and forth, but the rope held us down.

I was glad we had been wrap and tied down like a sack of potatoes. What that sand could do to bare skin was something I dint want to even try to imagine. Kyrina had fallen asleep, and even though the tossing and violent turning, she stayed asleep. It was probably for the best because now I could hear the sound of creatures unseen in the sandstorm; I could only hope Dresnal got us to where ever we were going safely.

Two hours later, the sand stopped abruptly along with the winds, and I could feel the inertia of us slowing down, pulling me forwards. Soon we stopped, and I felt the ropes loosen. Dim lights greeted me as the blanket was removed; both Kyrina and I were covered in sand; the blanket had only prevented us from severe damage.

Kyrina got off my lap and started to stretch, and I admired her in that beautiful green dress. She turned and caught me looking with a smile and gave a spin to shake the sand off, and I stood up, looking around. It was a low and wide cave with a couple more of the sand buggies parked, but no one was there to greet us.

I looked over at Dresnal, but he was taking some of the cloth off himself, revealing his translucent blue body and arms. He left his gloves on, and I was looking at them, and he explained that touching sand caused him to expend energy, so gloves are the best thing for him to keep on. It was similar to Maxine and water, so I could understand.

"So, how did you find us?"

"Luck mostly. Your little stunt is the real reason we were able to get you, and I was watching for you guys, but some many come though, so it's hard to catch two people."

We were led deeper into the tunnel, and then it opened up to a large cave that had some tents in it. There wasn't more than fifteen set up around the place, and I was wonder what the big idea was? This was the rebellion or whatever?

I looked at him, and he had a stupid grin on his face.

"Don't look so serious, we have lots of other camps, don't worry, we won't be staying here either. This is just a small camp for the transport circle."

"You have one?" Kyrina piped up from beside me.

"One what? Is this a teleporter?"contemporary romance

"Yeah, they are band here, so we have to, you know, keep it on the hush."

Kyrina looked shock at this news and then squinted her eye at Dresnal before looking back at me.

"We can trust them; there is no way they would show us unless they planned on killing us right now. I know this is for the purpose of saving planets, but that doesn't change the fact that this is banned on every known planet. I don't think anyone needs an explanation of what would happen if someone got a hold of this."

"How are you so familiar with these laws?" I asked, but it was Dresnal that answered.

"It common knowledge boy, anyone in the galactic arm knows this!"

"He was from a pre-space planet, so he wouldn't know. You know we are Universal Watch if you know Sasha, so you know our position on this, right?"

"Yeah, and after Xeno-Tsunami is safe, we will turn it over to the Watch, don't worry. Jill knows about it, so don't worry, let's go, this place is stuffy! Let me take you to where the rest of us hang out."

Dresnal led us to the back of the cave, where there was a tent just more significant than the rest. We were led inside, and the was two metal golden disk on the ground. Dresnal walked over and touched them both with each hand and took on a look of intense concentration. Suddenly the disc's started to glow and shake until he to his hands of them. They began to spin fast and faster, and soon they separated, opening a hole in the air.

We both stepped forward, but Kyrina was far more confident about it the I was. I could see green trees and water on the other side of the hole, and I was starting to loosen the reservations I was holding, but my choice was made for me. Kyrina pulled me into the spot, and I was worried that we would hit the sides of the hole, but suddenly we were on the other side, and I could feel a cool breeze.

I heard Dresnal come behind us, and I stepped ahead more to get out of his way, then turned. I saw Dresnal's blue smile, and he looked around, taking a deep breath, but I wasn't really sure if he had lungs, but I didn't want to contemplate that right now. No, the world around me was a beautiful garden with tents everywhere and many races walking around.

I turned to Kyrina, but she was smiling, looking out at everything lost in the people and landscape. I couldn't blame her. It was great, and we had been in space since we got here; I mean, I was in a tavern, but that doesn't really count. This was a lot different; this was a real paradise, but where was this? I turned to Dresnal, but he waved ahead; the man was uncannily perceptive.

I looked forward, and the girls were there, and I then realized that even Kyrina had disappeared and was already over there talking to them. Well, This was the best possibility, if we all got to stay here until race day, we wouldn't have to worry about the kind and other racers. This was perfect; I wonder why Irellia hadn't said anything? Maybe she didn't know, and Jill didn't want to change things, good girl.

I walked over to join the group, Tama and Mikota came over and clamped onto me, but I only kissed the top of their heads. This earned me some puzzled looks, and the two of them looked to Kyrina. When Kyrina noticed, she was just as confused, but the girl's knife-like stares started to sink, and Kyrina looked away, turning bright red.

I used two hands and chopped the top of their heads to make them complain, but it broke the death glares at Kyrina. I was going to have to bring this up, or maybe I wouldn't. I'm sure the girls are starting to get the vibe, I guess you would call it. I don't know if it was a thing you could feel, but I think women have a sense for it.

Sasha and Maxine smiled at me when I gave them hugs, and when I got to Tilly, she looked happy and gave me a big hug with a big smile. When she leaned in, she whispered into my ear.

"Treat her good, Dave. I'll keep the girls back. You deserve this for all that you have done."

I felt a bit choked up, and my eyes were feeling wet, so I walked ahead before going to see Iona. I let my eyes dry and turned back to the girl with arms crossed. She was so cute, but I knew it was all an act; I had held her in that little house while we talked about the pains and struggles and what I was trying to do.

"Don't frown; the smile looks better!"

"Shut up, just remember there will be more games, Ill be here each time. Don't forget it!"

Iona turned back to the girls, and Tilly smiled at me warmly before turning and following Iona around. I was left feeling oddly content. It was a new feeling that was starting to feel more like what it was. Love.
