Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 79: A Lost Tail

I was never going to learn. 

Before the sunspots cleared from my eye, I could hear Mishka's excited voice.

"You want to have kids with me?!"

"Of course, I do! Why wouldn't I?"

I rubbed my eye and was finally able to somewhat see out of them again. I blinked a couple of times, trying to make sure my eyes were playing some other kind of tricks on me. It was like I was staring at another person, the change I Mishka's body and hair... everything was out of this world, and she was stunning.

Then I felt it and grabbed the chair closest to me as the wave hit me, and I felt a new power to join the others, but it was so much different than the others. I spun the chair around and sat down before I fell; Breth got up and came over, kneeling in front of me.

"Are you okay, Hyde?" 

"Yeah, I'm fine; I just get an overwhelming feeling every time someone evolves now. It's what I imagine being dropped in the middle of the ocean would feel like. The feeling is hard to put into words."

"Try to remember that it is a part of you, not the other way around. Try holding that thought in your mind when it happens next time. It sounds like you are getting overwhelmed by the number of different type of magic ins..."

"I will try that, but it's not about how many are in there already; I get dizzy from the sheer amount of space that isn't being used. Breth, with all the magic I have gained, barely three percent is full, from what I can feel. I have received all that power, and it's only just a small part of what is to come. That's what makes me lose my breath."

Everyone became quiet, and my new beautiful wife came to sit in my lap; I only call her new because of the fact that it felt like I was looking at a completely different person. Mishka's long hair was a more orangish-red, where Kadence hair was a darker red, and her tail was now gone. Breth made an excuse up to go help with breakfast, which wasn't really an excuse; I just forgot about him being our Turret Taskmaster.

Mishka adjusted herself on my lap, and I noticed something missing as she did. I slid a hand below her back, sliding down the new orangish-red flaring dress that covered her body. As my hand slid over her bottom, I gave it a squeeze.

"Hey! Don't you think we should save that for where we are alone?"

"Well, my dear, we are alone, but I was just getting used to your tail being gone."

Mishka jumped from my lap and spun around with her hands, gripping her own bottom through her dress. She turned back to me with tears in her eye, smiling, so I went over and took her into my arms. Mishka put her hands flat on my chest and rested her head on them. 

"Well, now that we have figured out things here, what do you say to come to sit in a boring meeting about of future?"

"That doesn't sound that boring; what are we doing now?"

"Make a home! Considering how Alex isn't going to stop throwing wives at me, I think it is time that I made a home in this world. I don't know how it will be set up, though; how do I keep you all happy?"

Mishka laughed and stepped on her toes to kiss me. I lipped pressed together, and I could smell the fruit of whatever perfume she had put on. The scent made me slide my hand up the back of her neck and push my fingers into her silky smooth hair.

"You will be fine, you already have made us all the happiest women in the world by marrying us, and you have helped each one of us. The real question is, how do we keep you happy?"

"Happy? That you all do a splendid job; the real task is to keep me sane and on the right path. I don't want to have to make another example like Blood Lake, but I will."

"We all know that and support you. Let's go see the..."

I didn't let her finish as I scooped her up and ran for the edge, planting my foot on the railing. I launched us in the air, and fire lit my thoughts as Kadences fire magic burned from the bottom of my pant leg, shooting us into the air higher. Mishka held on to me, but she trusted me to keep her safe and had a massive smile on her face; I remembered how much she enjoyed flying to go get Marly.

I would need to check up on Mesh and Cable and the new women in their lives in the future. I probably should be able to leave them alone, but I was responsible for both hookups. I looked down at Mishka, who was not paying any attention to me; instead, she was enraptured by the surrounding landscape. 

"What do you think of my matchmaker with the boys? It would be a real waste to let them fall apart, but honestly, now I think Mesh might be starting to get Marly to warm up to. Cable is the one im worried about, he acts cool on the outside, but I think he is a pussy when it comes to women."

"I think you right about Cable, but I don't think we have to worry about it. Gweneth may seem...a bit crazy, but she had a good heart and will treat him right. The real problem will come from any woman that tries to get close to Cable! As for Mesh, Marly and I have had some talks over the last few days; they are fine."

"Well, that is a big load off my back?"

"But don't you have a city to build?"

"No, we have a city to build!"
