*Caelum’s POV*

I sighed again for like the umpteenth time today. Void still wasn’t answering me and it was getting pretty annoying. I finally decided just to give up on trying to get her to talk again and went about my business. I practiced with my powers for a little while before I finally decided that what she said was the truth. The circlet and the necklace really do allow me to control my powers completely. I also discovered that I could not use them when I used my powers if I wanted to. This would allow me to practice control over my power and it showed me that my powers were stronger when I wasn’t using the items.

Without the items, I only really have control over one element and that was time, surprisingly. It may have something to do with my constantly using it in my spars with the girls, but I really don’t know. This continued on for a month and I finally was able to control the space element as well. I was hanging out with Violetta and Sarah at the house when Katarina walked in saying that the underground area that I wrecked had finally been rebuilt.

We decided that it was time to finally head out into the universe and pretty much do whatever I felt like doing. Sarah pretty much begged me to allow her to come and I didn’t have any reason to really say no, so that added another member to the group. I was able to really teleport anywhere that I could visualize in my head, so Violetta wasn’t too mad about having to stay behind because I could visit her anytime she wanted me to.

Never would I thought that I one day would be able to control time and space. Of course, I never thought I would have a beautiful woman who was in love with me, more than one at that too. I sighed and then reviled smile towards Sarah and Flarea. They both smiled back and they grabbed onto my hands, I then teleported us to the underground area to use the Transfer Array. Once I actually visit someplace and am able to visualize it in my mind I won’t need to use the Transfer Array to go to those places again.

I may have been told that I am the strongest being in the universes, but no harm in being cautious. Even if I use my powers to teleport I will still arrive at the Transfer Array point of the places I go. There are devices and magic that can see when someone is teleporting into places other than the array area, Flarea told me about these earlier. There was a case that Flarea also told me about where a guy teleported himself outside of his favorite restaurant to grab a bite to eat. While he was eating the place was stormed by government officials who arrested him.

We teleported right into the middle of the underground area and I was happy that nobody was really caring about the fact that I wreaked the place last time I was here. There were some people who gave me a wide birth, but no one really tried to say anything to me. We walked towards a counter where Flarea spoke to the creature at the counter in English, “We are headed towards the Sithos System. Can you tell us when the next group will be heading there?”

The creature looked like a cross between a panda and a bug. It had a panda face and body, but on its back, it had a carapace covering some wings. Its back reminded me kind of like a cockroach. It checked its monitor and then spoke back in English, “The next group headed towards the Sithos System is due for two this afternoon. If you are not checked into the group by one fifty then you will have to wait another three days for the next group or purchase an individual ticket.” I raised an eyebrow, “An Individual Ticket?” The pandabug glanced at me and then looked back at Flarea, “If you have things you have to do and won’t be able to join the group the individual tickets cost 5 low-class monster crystals. If you would like to buy a permanent individual pass for the arrays in this system you can purchase one for 1 low-class intelligence crystal.”

They crystal talk was confusing me so I didn’t say anything and just let Flarea handle things. She thought about it for a second before looking over at me, “What do you want to do? Wait for the group or just get an individual ticket?” I shrugged my shoulders, “Whatever you want to do is fine with me.” She smiled and then looked back at the pandabug, “Two permanent universe passes.”

The pandabug’s eyes got wide like saucers and there was a gleam in them, “If you would like to purchase a universe pass that will cost you 1 mid-ascension crystal.” Flarea nodded and then reached into her cleavage and pulled out two blue crystals. The pandabug’s eyes looked like they were about to fall out and he started drooling. Flarea sat the crystals on the table and then after a few minutes of staring the pandabug took them and put them in the safe behind the counter.

He inputted somethings on the computer and then asked for our ID pads. Flarea handed him three cards from her cleavage again. I know they are huge, but how much can they freaking hold? She gave them to the pandabug and then he inserted them into his computer. A few seconds later and the computer spit out three passes. He gave Flarea our ID pads back and then gave her the passes. He smiled, “Thank you for your patronage and please enjoy your travels.”

Flarea then turned to us and handed us our passes. I looked down at mine and saw that it was blank. Flarea rubbed her finger across it and a hologram popped up. It had my picture and my mercenary name and rank on it. I smiled and then I heard Sarah speak, “What the hell, why does mine say servant on it?” I raised an eyebrow and Flarea explained, “You aren’t really strong enough to defend yourself so in order to protect you from being used to get to Caelum I listed you as a servant. We all know that you aren’t, but if he makes enemies, which he will, then you need to be someone that can’t be used against him. Most people in the universe don’t care about their servants because they can be replaced. That makes them less valuable as hostages and whatnot.”

Sarah didn’t immediately respond as she seemed to be thinking something through. I was going to speak up, but she beat me to it, “Okay, I understand.” I smiled and then ran my hand through her hair, “Thanks, Sarah.” She blushed, “You can thank me later.” I grinned, “Oh, I plan on it.” Flarea spoke up, “Save the perverted stuff for when we settle down for the night you two, let’s head towards the Transfer Array.” We all headed for the array platform and when we got there, there was another pandabug standing next to a switch.

Flarea walked up to the pandabug, “Three to the Sithos System.” The pandabug nodded, “Tickets?” She handed him our three passes and the guys eyes instantly widened. He immediately started trying to curry favor with us, but Flarea shot him down and he started the array reluctantly. After a brief thirty-second warmup, we all stepped through the array and finally started our journey.

The trip through the array was different than when I teleported. When I teleported I honestly was in one place and then instantly in another place. If the surroundings didn’t change I honestly would have thought that I didn’t do anything but stand there. When we went through the array it reminded me of going through a wormhole in that television series about a round gate in a bunker.

A few minutes later, or at least what seemed like a few minutes, we were standing on another platform that was bustling. It kind of looked the same as the other platform and underground area, but this one was outside. I breathed in the air and noticed that there wasn’t much difference from Earth. I smiled, “So where are we now?” Flarea answered, “We are in the Sithos System, which Earth calls Alpha Centauri.” I widened my eyes, “We are in Alpha Centauri?” She nodded, “Yeah. You are on the planet known as Bentarin to the rest of the universe.”

She sighed, “It’s honestly really stupid why the universal council has put a ban on visiting earth via anything other than the Transfer Array. Earth is almost at the point where it is ready to meet other lifeforms, but until that time the council bans travel to the planet through the atmosphere. The habitable planet that they can see through their telescopes is actually camouflaged and doesn’t show them its true image. Otherwise, Earth would have had valid evidence of what you all call extraterrestrials.”

I raised an eyebrow at what she was talking about, but I quickly put it into the back of my mind. I honestly didn’t really care; coming to another planet full of other species was exciting enough. I wouldn’t tell her that though because she looked like she was enjoying telling me about it. I sighed and then saw something that annoyed me. I couldn’t understand what they were saying, but I could tell that some guys were harassing a woman.

The guys were all different species, there was one that looked like a grasshopper standing on two legs, there was another one that looked like a big fluffy bear, and two of them looked like humans with blades for hands. They all hand hungry and lustful looks on their faces and the woman in the middle was the reason why. I don’t like bullying especially of a woman.

The woman looked human except for the very beautiful butterfly-like wings on her back and the antennas coming out of her long pink hair. She had a very curvaceous body. Her breasts where about C cup in size, which was a little on the small side for me, but her ass was amazing. It was perked up and round, it instantly made me want to touch it and see if it was even real. I sighed and then went up to the group, “Hey! What’s going on?” I spoke in English hoping that this System was close enough to Earth’s that the language spread here.

Luckily the grasshopper understood what I was saying and replied, “Nothing is going on. We are just going to go get something to eat with our sister here.” The other three looked at me and started speaking in languages that I couldn’t understand. They all laughed and I could see that the butterfly lady had a look of fear on her face. Her gaze was basically asking me to save her. I really couldn’t deny a beauty though. I was kind of excited for a couple of reasons. One, I get to fight someone for real and two, I get to save a damsel in distress. Though this type of scene in stories is really cliché and overused quite a bit I won’t lie when I say that I actually like them.

If this encounter sticks to the cliché rout then the woman could possibly become mine and gladly give her body to me. I was drooling at the thought and had to wipe it from my mouth. I looked at the grasshopper, “It seems like the beautiful lady doesn’t want to go with you.” He instantly made a sound like he tasted himself and glared at me, “I think you might what to move along boy. We are trying to take this sister of hours out to eat and you are starting to annoy us.”

I grinned, “I believe you are trying to take this “sister” of yours out so you can eat her. Anyone can see your lust filled eyes from a mile away.” The grasshopper’s antennas stood up straight and his glare intensified. Flarea was just calmly standing behind me while I talked to the group and Sarah was hiding behind her. She was somehow used to the different species and wasn’t really surprised when we saw the pandabug either. I was actually wondering why for a split second before I filed it in the folder, things I should ask later.

I saw his buddies get into a fighting stance and I cracked my neck, “Oh yeah… that felt good.” As soon as the words left my mouth I disappeared from where I was standing. I appeared behind the big fluffy bear and tapped him on the shoulders, “Hey. I’m right here.” He stiffened up and turned around with a fist heading straight for me. I grinned and then caught the fist, causing a shockwave from the impact. I raised an eye at the power behind the punch and realized if a normal human were to take it they would be mush. There wouldn’t be anything left at the point of impact.

The big bear's eyes were round like saucers. I guess he wasn’t expecting me to catch his fist like that. I grinned and then gripped his fist before making and over the shoulder slam. His big bulky body slammed into the ground and embedded itself. Blood spurted from his mouth and his eyes rolled backward showing the white part. I let go of his fist and patted my hands together before looking at the grasshopper. His eyes were wide too, but he quickly resumed his glare and then dashed at me.

His dash was pretty quick and if I wasn’t concentrating on him or using any power he may have looked like he disappeared, but I was staring at him and I could see where he was. He dashed behind me and threw a punch at the back of my head. His punch looked like it was going to make contact, but it phased through my head like I wasn’t even there. He looked shocked and jumped backward. His knees bent backward and he looked like he was ready to pounce.

The afterimage that I left before he tried to hit me finally disappeared and I was whistling behind one of the guys with blades for hands. He was shocked, but he still managed to swing his blade at my throat. I smiled and channeled the earth element through my body and let the blade hit me. There was a clang as his blade hand hit my throat and bounced off. I grinned at the surprised look on his face before I threw a punch at it. My fist connected with his face smashing him into the ground.

Without waiting for the other one to react I quickly kicked him in the gut sending him crashing into the wall of the building next to us. His body was embedded inside of the wall and you could see the whites of his eyes. I looked back at the grasshopper, which was trembling now, and grinned. Though, before I could do anything he screamed like a little girl and took off running away. I nearly hit the ground at that reaction and I couldn’t help, but sigh. So much for actually being able to fight, I felt like I was playing with some little brothers from back in the day or something.

I looked back at the beautiful woman and smiled, “I don’t know if you can understand me, but you’re safe now.” The woman looked like she didn’t understand and Flarea quickly translated for me. The woman nodded and then spoke something back. Flarea translated it for me, “Thank you so much for saving me. I think my husband may have left me if someone would have violated me.” My attitude immediately plummeted when I heard what she said.

Flarea looked like she was reveling in my disappointment while Sarah patted my back. The woman smiled and spoke again. Flarea looked surprised and seemed like she didn’t want to translate what was said. I raised an eyebrow at her and she finally translated for me, “I am sorry if I wasn’t able to fulfill your cliché fantasy, but if it helps and can count as repayment I could introduce you to my older half-sister.” I smiled and nodded at the woman, much to Flarea’s displeasure.

The woman spoke again and Flarea translated, “Let me give you my number and you can give me yours. This way I can set up a meeting for you two later.” I nodded and then pulled out my Uni-Phone. The woman seemed a little shocked when she saw the phone, but she just smiled and pulled out her own phone. We traded information and she sent me a text. It automatically translated it into English for me as she told me she would set the meetup and goodbye.

When she fluttered away and I stared at her ass there was a pinch on my side. I gave a yip and then saw that Flarea was glaring at me. She spoke through gritted teeth, “That’s it!” She grabbed onto my ear and pulled me along with her. I could have resisted, but I honestly felt like I deserved this. She pulled me down the road and I could hear a few people snickering at me, but I didn’t care.

She kept pulling me until we finally arrived at a building. She spoke to the person at the desk with the same language as the butterfly lady. Speaking of the butterfly lady, I never did get her name. Sarah was standing there trying not to laugh at my situation. A few seconds later and Flarea pulled me down the hallway and into a room. I let her throw me onto the bed as she turned to Sarah, “There is a big bath behind that door; would you please make use of it for a bit.”

Sarah seemed to understand something as a brief look of disappointment flitted across her face before she smiled and nodded. She took some clothes out of the storage rings Katarina gave us and went into the room. Flarea looked at me like some predator. I smiled, “Why do you look like you want to eat me?” She grinned, “Oh I am going to eat you.” After that, she pounced on me and I briefly wondered what was going on, but when I saw her release her massive jade-like bunnies the thought instantly disappeared.

She must have seen me drooling because she had a smile on her face, “I figured you like big breasts because of how much you stared at Violetta’s and Katarina’s.” I grinned and then looked her in the eyes, “Why are you doing this? Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining, but I am confused.” The look in her eye became extremely conflicted and somewhat lonely.

She sighed, “Honestly, I like you, plain and simple, but it’s more than that. I have been lonely for far too long. I have been keeping myself away from people for centuries. I lost my first and last lover so long ago to someone that was more powerful than I had ever seen before. He hit on me and my lover tried to protect my honor or some bullshit like that causing the man to kill him.”

Tears started to flow down her face and her shoulder started to tremble, “It wasn’t that simple though. Before the man killed him he violated me in front of him. He took the innocence that I wanted to give to my lover and he ripped it away right in front of him. He played with me in so many ways that I wanted to kill myself. I even tried, but the man saved me in the end. He beat me after he was done until I couldn’t move anymore and then he killed him right in front of me.”

The tears were coming like a waterfall now and her shoulders wouldn’t stop trembling, there was even a tremble in her voice. She continued, “Mrs. Katarina found me as I was lying next to his body. I was a wreck and I asked for her to just kill me and end my suffering. There are some days that I still want to just end it all…”

She stopped talking and started to sob, it made my heart ache and I didn’t know what I could do. I pulled her into my embrace and started to stroke her hair. She wrapped her arms around me and started to wail. I felt horrible for her, but all I could do was hold her and tried to comfort her. She spoke into my chest, “I like you Caelum and I thought I wouldn’t like anyone again. I thought I had closed that part of me off forever. I didn’t want anyone to get hurt again because of me. I also feel like trash that someone discarded after they were done. I feel dirty and I don’t want to tarnish anyone else.”

I grabbed her chin and had her look at me. I wiped the tears from her face and she looked straight into my eyes. I smiled at her and then stole her lips for the second time. She struggled a little again before submitting to it and returning my kiss. We separated after a few minutes, “You will never be dirty in my eyes Flare. I like you too and I want you to be mine. You don’t have to worry about me being hurt or me leaving you either. As long as you stay faithfully mine I will always be here for you.”

She had a brief smile before it disappeared, but I am tainted. I was violated by a man that I don’t even know the name of.” I smiled, “You are not tainted. You are as pure, in my mind, as a virgin on her wedding day. If you want me too and if it will help you, I will hunt this man down and make him pay for everything he has done, plus interest. I will throw him into a start alive or I could slowly lower him in that way it’s a slow and painful death. I can cripple him and then let some dandy men have their way with him for days before slowly dipping him into a volcano. I can curse him and give him a thousand times the sensation before letting insects eat him alive.”

I looked her deep in the eyes, “I can do this for you Flare. I can now give you anything you want in any of these universes.” She looked at me with love in her eyes, but her next question startled me and even hurt me a bit. She looked me dead in the eyes, “Can you bring him back to me?” It shocked me and hurt me deep down inside, but I nodded. I sighed, “I have control over the element of death, souls, and everything pertaining to life. I would have to visit the underworld to find his soul and then make him a body from scratch, but I can do it if that is what will truly make you happy.”

I honestly did not what to do that, I didn’t want to help a woman that I liked to find another man. Especially if that means I have to go through the effort of bringing him back from the dead. I don’t know what the consequences will be of messing with the natural order of life or how hard it will actually be, but if it makes her happy then I will do it. I guess my answer made her happy, but what she said next confused me.

She smiled and shook her head, “That would make me happy, but what makes me even happier is that you would willingly give me up to let me be happy. Not a lot of men are unselfish like that. I knew I made the right decision of moving on with you.” I was confused and I didn’t know what to say next or even what to do. She smiled, “I can see the confusion on your face.” I nodded and she smiled again, “Let me explain it to you.” She leaned forward and stole my lips from me as she pushed me down on the bed.

I honestly felt a little be embarrassed because part of me was still confused, but I filed that in the part of my mind labeled “fuck it”. I responded to her kiss and she was running her hands all over my body. Her hand found the tent in my pants and then invaded it. Her hand wrapped around my shaft and I felt her grin. She gave it a squeeze, “Quite the weapon we got here dear.” I smiled, “Never really thought about it that way.” She smiled, “Well you should, and it’s very impressive. I smiled again, “As long as it makes you happy I don’t care how impressive it is.”

She laughed, “Well it’s the biggest I have seen or felt. Of course, I have only seen two.” I saw her eyes moisten and grip loosened a little.” I leaned forward and kissed her and the fire in her eyes immediately returned. She gripped me with even more vigor causing me to gasp. She grinned and then crawled backward on the bed. She gripped my belt with her teeth and pulled at it. She used her left hand to pull the metal pin from the leather and the belt was free.

She proceeded to unbutton them and bite the waistband of my boxers with her teeth. I lifted my ass a little to help her out. She struggled a bit which was kind of cute before she actually managed to pull them down enough to free my little brother. It sprung up into her face and she gasped when it hit her. She focused on it and smiled, “Definitely impressive. I don’t know if this will actually be able to fit in me.” There was a voice from the door across the room, “Oh it will.” We both looked over, but the door was still shut.

I smiled and then activated the sound element soundproofing the room. I don’t mind her listening or even watching, but it is our first time together and I feel that it should belong to us. Flarea was trembling and it was confused, “What’s wrong?” She trembled, “She heard everything.” I gently smiled at her and pulled her head up to my face, “It doesn’t matter if she heard Flare. She is your sister wife and I believe there should be no secrets between us. I will talk to her later and if she really heard I will make her keep it a secret if you really want me to.”

She sobbed again for a few seconds before she shook her head, “No it’s fine. I need to be able to move past it or at least try to. I can’t live in the past forever and I also can’t let it control my future.” I smiled, “Good girl.” I rubbed her head before I stole her lips again. The fire lit up in her eyes and she grabbed onto my shaft, which was still hard as before. She started to stroke it while we passionately kissed.

After a few minutes of making out, she crawled backward again and kissed the tip of my dick. She licked it a couple of times before completely taking it into her mouth. I shivered when I felt it enter that warm moistness. She continued to service me for a while and I was honestly feeling good enough that I didn’t know what to do with my hands. I felt her smile around my cock as she grabbed my hands and placed them on her breasts.

I immediately became a little bit clear-headed as I started to morph them into different shapes and sizes. It was amazing how she was able to restrain these amazing breast behind the wraps like she does, it must be painful for her. I massaged her massive mounds and tried to make them feel as best I could. I must have been doing a good job because she moaned around my dick. I was actually starting to get really close to cumming and I couldn’t form the words to tell her. For some reason, she started to suck harder and take me even deeper.

It wasn’t but maybe thirty seconds later when I couldn’t hold it in any longer. I grabbed the back of her head and pushed her down on me. She gagged just a little, but she didn’t fight as I released in the back of her throat. She sucked and swallowed it all. I released her head and she came back up for air before cleaning me with her tongue. She finished cleaning me and licked her lips before looking up at my face.

I was just dumbly staring at her and couldn’t form words right now. She smiled and blew on my penis. The cold air sent shivers up my spine, but it felt good. She must of like the look on my face because she stripped the rest of her clothes off and straddled me. She grabbed my hands and placed them on her hips as she lowered herself on top of me. It was surprisingly tight when I was entering her and it was sending waves of pleasure up my spine.

I could tell that she was enjoying every time that I shivered in pleasure. We were finally about three-quarters of the way inside when she stopped. She gasped, “It won’t go any further.” I felt that it should be able to because Violetta was able to take it all. I gripped her hips and then pulled down as I pushed up. Flarea screamed, but it sounded like a mixture of pain and pleasure. I let go of her hips, “I’m sorry… I didn’t think it would hurt.”

She was breathing heavily, “I said it wouldn’t go any further.” I felt guilty, “I thought it would. I’m sorry.” She must have seen the guilt on my face because she caressed my face, “I knew what you were thinking dear. You have only been with two women and don’t know a whole lot. Of course, I have only been with one man and I really don’t want to remember that time so I don’t know much either. I do know that every woman is different. Either Violetta or Sarah was able to take you fully into them at first, but I will take time.”

I nodded, “We can stop so you can rest.” She quickly shook her head, “No, I will not leave you like this.” Before I could respond she started to move her hips with zeal. The instant amount of pleasure stopped any words that were going to form from coming out of my mouth. I placed my hands on her hips and let her do with me what she wanted. She continued to ride me as I watched her breasts bounce up and down.

We continued our lovemaking for the next couple of hours. By this time Sarah was tired of her skin getting wrinkly in the bath so she came into the room and sat down in the chair. She was playing with the tablet that Flarea brought with her. I was surprised when she came in and just nonchalantly sat down in the chair, but Flarea was too engorged in what she was doing to notice. A half an hour later I finally felt myself coming to the end of my rope. I held it for a few more minutes before I grabbed her hip and thrust deep inside of her releasing everything I had. I couldn’t count how many times I felt her orgasm while she was riding me, but when I finally released she collapsed on top of me and took a deep breath before she passed out.

I pulled out and rolled over and spooned her, I felt another body snuggle up to my back and a pair of arms wrap around me. I smiled and I was utterly confused at why she was completely okay with this now. I hope she isn’t forcing herself to be okay with it. I mentally sighed and pushed the thought back into the file of stuff to ask later and gave both of the girls along with a quick grope of their plentiful breasts before I also passed out.
