Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 200: I Want That

Kyra went and put Kyla to bed, and the other girls went and got more chairs. They also came back with some fruity glowing wines that sparkled like bottles of what a person lighting magic was. Blue, pink yellow, green, purple, red, and orange shimmering colors lit the table I had to bring in, and now we had a little party. Now, if we only had a card against humanity, ugh, this would be great.

"We need ATVs with machine guns! And drones! We need the drone!" Violet cheered.

Violet could see through objects as her magical ability in this world, but she loved small vehicles. I wasn't really sure where she was going to get the drone from, but she seems adamant, so she must already have something in the works. Violent was already pouring her third drink and she was sitting beside me, so I slid my arms around her waist, and then kissed her earlobe gently while whispering

"Don't drink too much and pass out before everyone leaves," I said and gave a big wet kiss into her ear, making her squeal and yell at me as she tried to get away.

I was already holding her, so there was no escaping me, but I stopped and kissed her cheek and then gave her a squeeze before letting her go. She was blushing, and then she jumped her chair tight into mine and cuddled up under my arm. I was so distracted by her cute little performance that I didn't notice the room had gone quiet.

I looked up and frowned when all the girls except for Jenna, who was smiling, turned blushing faces away. Kyra still wasn't back, so it was just Tamika, Dalmia, Nika, and Jenna around the table with me. What were the girls all blushing for?

"What has got your heads so hot?" I asked, petting Violet's purple hair, and when the girls saw this, the three let out a sigh.

"You two are just so cute, and the way you're patting her hair...I want that when it's our time," Nika said, fanning herself.

"So do we, but we would like it together...just not the later part. That way we can have more time!" Dalmia said, hugging Tamika.

"I will share my time with you Violet if you want?" Nika asked, but I had to put up a hand.

"Girls, this is so far off-topic, we are in another state! We will have so much time together over the next two weeks to spend together. So, don't worry, head pats and cuddles will be in no shortage on the trip over, right Captain?" I asked Jenna.

"Yes, with three days there and another three to get back, and that doesn't include the time between. I have no idea how long it will take us at each island, this is going to be one of the biggest expeditions ever gathered. We are going to need a few days to get everything in order, and a crew of able ship hands, plus we are going to need lots of ground crews."

"I got the ground crews, we will make them from monsters when we get there, they will know the terrain the best, and I wanna see some of the crazy things we can turn into people! Plus, you said there were people on the islands, we can get them to help if they want to!"

"Didn't you hear the part about shooting and not asking any questions? They are tribes of savages! There is no reasoning with them! They will just kill and then eat you! They are cannibals, or they to the body of our people, I don't know what they really are. All I know is that they aren't friendly and they don't like strangers," Jenna said with exasperation.

"Ah!" I said raising my drink. "It's just a matter of how you approach it, but the real trouble is going to be making sure we are dressed properly. For the ice and sand, we should just be able to fly"

"Nope, you can only enter the islands by foot and flying magic doesn't work when you are on the inside of the island. There is a magical barrier around each island preventing anything but ground units from entering. The strange thing is that the islands only have one entrance each on the farthest outside point from the center."

Well, now we really did need to pack and plan things out, this was going to also make the trip take longer. It would also be more dangerous, but that was going to be a constant people no matter what. We would just have to do all the planning with the rest of the women as well, we might end up with a few extra crew members, but I wasn't going to bring more wives. 

These girls all deserved some attention, but I would ask Elise about coming. I didn't think she would, but it would be wrong for me not to ask her. I was going to need Buddy and Cable, but Mesh would have to go back to Dreams to help with guarding the city with Marley and Wendy. In time there would be more dragons again, but none of the other Dragon-Kin males had evolved, but with the fresh female Dragon-Kin, they could just be waiting for a partner.

"So, the one last thing that is bothering me about this all is the elephant in the room. We have no idea what we are looking for, or if there even is something there."

"I can feel it, Hyde, I know that there is something there! You have to believe me! I would stake my entire life on something important there!" Jenna shouted as she stood up pushing her chair back.

I could see her resolve, so I touched her rand with my right hand. There was a bright flash and Miss Black looked like a real captain now, like it was her spirit animal, I could see a faceless afterimage. Jenna's eyes were gray now, and her hair blackened and then streaks of white appeared.

"Then draw me a map, Captain Black!"
