Genie’s face paled. Was she actually going to be put to work doing hard labor!? She was a princess! She really did not know how to take any of this. For millions of years, since she was born, she had lived a life of luxury with personal maids who waited on her hand and foot but now…. She wondered if this was truly the fate of her race….

“Anyway, that is Blake’s decision, so you will be undergoing a contract soon. This contract is only so that you will not harm Destiny City and its people in any way, shape, or form. This is why our city is safe for all races. The only ones who are an exception to this rule are Blake and Lillia. After all, they are the founders of this city. Even though I am his wife, I also have a contract on me. Although I am also no longer a dragonic either but a drakani now, thanks to Blake.” Faana was quite proud of herself. Being a Drakani had really given her a power boost!

“I-I see…. I will inform the others….” Genie kept her head low as she stood up and walked towards the exit. She realized she had to come to terms with her new situation. She really did not know what was in store for her. Many years later, Genie will be seen as the best actor to ever appear in Destiny City. She would grace the stage, whether it be live performances or tv shows and movies. She would play any role and do it better than anyone else.

An entire month passed, and Blake and his family were gathering their things and storing them away. “Everyone got everything?”

“I think we are all set, Blake. We have already run through the entire place five times.” Lillia had already scanned the place multiple times, but Blake kept feeling like they were forgetting something! Even though everything had been taken care of.

“Alright then….” Blake looked at Ishtar, who smiled and waved her hand. A large golden square formed in front of them.

“This is directly linked to your bedroom. Or I guess I should say, our bedroom now….” Ishtar blushed. She still felt giddy, knowing she was now Blake’s wife. Even though they had done it so many times now, she still couldn’t help but feel happy to be with the man she fell in love with.

“Then let’s go!” Blake waited for Lillia to enter first before making sure everyone else entered after. Only after everyone else had entered did Blake enter himself. With this return, Blake had ten servant girls who were Joy’s lovers and two goddesses who were now his wives.

At least this trip was fruitful. While how they got there was completely by accident, the fact of the matter is, is that they had gained a lot. Gotten new powers to allow them to face what was to come and were even able to get a better understanding of the world around them. When people said that the gods did not exist, at one point, Blake might have agreed to this point, but now he could say for sure. Gods and goddesses existed, and they were very powerful.

Blake stepped through the portal, and his vision shifted to a very familiar place. He looked at Nanaya and Ishtar, who were looking around curiously, and smiled. “This is now your home.”

“It is definitely different from what we are used to. The decor alone is alien to us. Even though Sister Lillia had me look at everything, seeing it in person is a whole different experience.” Ishtar was very curious about her new home. While she would still need to go back to the Astral Domain every day to handle her business, this was now her new home. And she would protect it as such.

“For now, you girls settle in. I should go make myself known, or the little ones might go crazy.” Blake knew he would soon be tackled by his daughters. He wondered just what he was going to have to do to appease them this time.

“No, before that, go to see Bret at the gate. You can just teleport there so you can escape the girls’ detection for the time being.” Lillia wanted Blake to handle the issues at hand first. She felt bad for her daughters since they would have to wait, but this was for the best.

“Alright. Then I will leave the girls to you. Tell them I will be there as soon as I finish up my business.” Blake would rather spend time with his daughters since he made a promise, but the reglios issue could not be ignored at this time.

Blake gave everyone a kiss before disappearing and reappearing on the wall of the city. Bret was down below handling a fight that broke out in line. SIghing Blake flew over to Bret and landed next to him. “Yo!”

“Holy shit!” Bret cried out from fright. He turned and threw a punch at Blake. ‘You bastard! You will give me a heart attack!”

“Haha!” Blake chuckled as he looked at the two men sitting on the ground, black and blue. “What happened here?”

“Oh, these two? They started fighting over a ration of bread. There are so many refugees, but we can only take them in one at a time. It’s a long process, but this is the best we can do at this time.” Bret sighed. “I am glad you are back, brother. My head was about to explode from dealing with everything.”

“You did an amazing job.” Blake patted Bret on the shoulder before looking around, his eyes scanning the shadows of all the people. He then walked over to a young man who was around twenty years old and stood before him. “Can I have you step out of line, please?”

“Di-did I do something wrong!?” This young man was human, and he had seen Bret and Blake horsing around seconds before, so he knew that Blake had some say within the city. To be suddenly pulled out of line like this made him feel as if he was being targeted for some reason. But he did not know what he did wrong.

Blake smiled and shook his head. “No, it is not you that did anything wrong but the one hiding in your shadow. So if you can stand perfectly still for me while I take care of some business.” And with that, Blake knelt down and grinned from ear to ear as he reached into the shadow and yanked hard….
