"The elders will want them home as soon as possible, there's the guard to organize and much preparations to be made."
I tuned out Justin for a minute as my daughter communicated to me that her mommy was not yet ready to make such a trip, she was quick to reassure me that all will be well when I started questioning whether or not Tamara would ever be ready.
"Why don't we relax in the study, I'll see about refreshments."
I took her with me to the kitchen where we put together a tray for the men, Tamara was extremely quiet but Nicolas kept me apprised of her vitals.
Apparently she was in a state of mild shock with the days' revelations, while the strengthening children in her womb were bringing about drastic changes in her.
As they grew inside her, especially Nicola she would go through a period of weakness and since she was of this realm, without our powers it will be hard on her, until somewhere between the fifth or sixth month when her own abilities will strengthen as well as her gaining new abilities.
It didn't take long before Justin was filling us in on the conflict that had brought them here. It appeared that the Cyclades Clan was still seeking ascension to the throne, one of the daughters, the more aggressive of the three, who'd been trying to get her hooks into me for aeons, has now been questioning my bonding, just one minute in Tamara's presence would convince anyone of my people of her austerity, but I didn't bow to the dictates of others, ever.
I was quite aware that Theodora Cyclades was off balanced and somewhat evil in her doings at times and though there were still many of my people who had lived as long as I and some much longer, there were still ways for the lesser beings to die.
To protect Tamara, I would destroy many.
"So you see brother, we must be very cautious, your family must be protected at all cost, certain provisions must be made before you travel home again. If you will, might I suggest we return immediately and apprise the elders of the situation here, and then return with the rest of your guard until you leave this place?"
Rudolph drew me from my musings with his offer.
They looked around the room with a slight sneer of distaste, of course the golden one and their empress were too good for an earthly mansion. Only a Seraphian would find such opulence lacking.
I knew no matter that my powers were greater than my people's, the elders would never leave the empress unguarded, even I had to fight for the freedom to be here like this with Tamara for such a length of time. They took their protection of me very seriously for though we did not see death like our earth brothers did, there was still lots of darkness around.
It would be a minor miracle if they didn't try to send a contingent of ten or more.
We spent some more time going back and forth, I was ever aware of my children and what they were saying, Tamara was growing weak and I needed to get her to bed.
"The Cyclades woman is more of a nuisance than a real concern, do not trouble yourselves with such nonsense, as to the guard none is needed here, I am more than capable of protecting what's mine. We will follow when it's convenient for my life mate to travel, until then, keep the peace."
They were hardly out the door before I was hustling her off to bed, the three of them were a tired mess.
I put her to bed and pulled the covers up before kissing her brow and walking away.
"Stay."
I walked back to the bed and bent over her.
"I'll be back soon, I promise, I'm just going to the garden for a bit. Sleep my love, you need your rest, when you wake up I promise to love you okay?"
She blushed and hid her face in the pillow. Such an enigma, she can have obscene, though rather hilarious conversations with her pussy, but she blushes like a school girl at her lover's promise.
At any rate she was asleep before I left the room, my son gave me a sleepy goodbye while my daughter yawned and slept.
PUSSY Oh no you don't wake your ass up there's a whole lotta shit going on around here
that I don't understand.
ME You and me both, now let me sleep, I'll tell you what I know later.
PUSSY Clink clink.
ME What the hell is that?
PUSSY Pussy on lock down, this tunnel is closed until farther notice, start talking bitch or
I'm going on strike.
ME How do you plan to do that you nut, you do know I control you and not the other way
around right.
Pussy laughed her ass off at that, I swear she thinks she's the boss of me.
ME What're you laughing at?
PUSSY Look, I don't have time to deal with your delusions of grandeur, just tell me one
thing, is dude human or not?
ME Of course he's human, he's just......I don't know, like the ancients or something,
when human beings had telepathy and they lived longer and had certain powers,
you know like people who perform unbelievable feats, shit like that.
