  “Shouldn’t we see about this Rabini settlement and make sure they are all right?” I ask, a bit worried.

  “No need,” Maxil says, shaking his head. “I will be sending some of our hunters to make sure all is well there. If it’s not, they will hasten to intercept you on your way to see the Elders.”

  “It will be our job to get through to the Elders,” Leeha says. “It will be a hard journey, but it will give us time for you to train, Alex. And honestly, I need to train as well, as I am learning what I can do with my own spells. And you are going to continue to teach me your language, right?” she asks me, sounding uncertain.

  I nod to her and smile, “It will be my pleasure to teach you, Leeha. You know that. It will be good to learn how to use my power more.” I turn back to Leeha’s parents. “Where is Marken, anyhow?” I ask them. I hadn’t seen him since we got back.

  “Ah,” Maxil says with a proud grin. “He has gone to train with a Fire Mage. We do not teach the new Mages in the Homestead in case things get destructive. So he is training about three hours east from here..”

  “Now, let’s get you some supplies,” Lahana says with a clap of both her hands.

  “Do we need supplies?” I ask curiously, since we didn’t need any when we came from the city of Lomar to here.

  Leeha nods at my question. “We can survive on hunting as we have been, but that takes time. If we bring our food, we can reduce that time and get to the Elders quicker. As speed is our goal, we will only make camp when we sleep at night. Most of the food will be travel rations, and we will supplement it with hunting when we can, but only if the animal appears for us. We shall not be going out of our way to do so.”

  “So, things like dried meats?” I ask her, wondering what their idea of travel rations are.

  “Yes, dried meats, fruits, and some nuts,” Leeha tells me with a smile.

  “And bread,” Maxil tells his daughter.

  “Oh? You made some travel bread?” Leeha asks her mother in surprise.

  “Yes. I figured you would all be heading out soon for your own adventures, so I made some Elven Bread.”

  “Elven Bread?” I ask, hearing the pronounced way she was saying it.

  “It’s a recipe where we add things that will give you stamina and energy,” Lahana tells me with a smile.

  “So why is it called Elven Bread?”

  “Because only we Elves can make it. We are not sure why, but when we make the bread and add the ingredients a certain way, it creates Elven Bread. The humans have tried to duplicate it but to no avail. Mostly they think we cannot make it anymore, as we refuse to sell it to them,” Lahana says with a conspiratorial grin.

  “You have hidden that for how long?” I ask her, amazed. So as a race, they can make something and somehow imbue it with magic? Is that like a race ability you would find in a game?

  “Well over five hundred years,” she says with a laugh.

  “Damn!” I tell her with some admiration. A race hiding something like that for so long? Wait, so if they have that, what do the other races have?

  “Can the other races create things like that as well? What about the humans?” I ask.

  Lahana shakes her head and says, “I am not sure about the other races. Just as we have hidden our bread from others, they might have hidden things as well. As for humans, we are one hundred per cent sure they do not have anything like this, and that they never did.”

  “Then why are you telling me?” I ask her with a questioning look.

  “Because of what you have done for our family. Also, we are about to send you to the Elders, and you will need to prove to them you are not simply a human. Just as you have been honest with us, we wish to be honest with you.”

  “Prove it to them? How?” I ask her nervously.

  “With power,” Maxil says, answering instead of Lahana.

  “What? You want me to show them how powerful I am?” I ask, looking at him.

  Maxil shakes his head. “No. With her.” He points to Leeha.

  Leeha? I look at her, trying to figure out what he means. She looks just as confused as I am. I turn back towards Maxil, and he laughs.

  “What I mean is, you need to teach my daughter this language of yours and make her more powerful. They have met her. They know her power. I need you to teach her to be stronger, so they will have no doubt that you are not simply a ‘human’. That other thing you named yourself, I think you can keep quiet about that for now,” he says, talking about the title of Elemental Summoner that I had given myself.

  Why does he want me to keep quiet about that? He must realize what I am thinking, as his next words prove. “We are not ready for that yet, and you are not powerful enough yet. The Elders are truly powerful, Alex. Be careful,” Maxil says softly.

  “I will watch over him, Father, Mother,” Leeha says softly, putting a hand on my knee. “As I am sure he will watch over me,” she continues, with a smile directed towards me.

  “I promise I will make her powerful and watch over her as well,” I tell Lahana and Maxil passionately.

  I do want Leeha to be powerful. I need powerful allies in this world. And if it means teaching her English, as it seems to be a magical language here, then so be it. I put my hand down on hers as it rests on my knee, and I smile at her. Fucking hell, she is beautiful. I am so glad she is the first one I met in this world, instead of a human.

  “What about me?” I hear from above me. I tilt my head and look at Bridget, who is still floating and is looking down at me with a pout.

  “The more powerful I get,” I tell her with a grin, “the more powerful you get.”

  She ponders that for a second, then gets a big smile on her face. “Oh, right!”

  Chapter Twenty-Nine

  “Have I mentioned just how stupid your fucking language is?” Leeha cries out in frustration.

  I have been trying to teach her the difference between a foot that is attached to my leg, and a foot that is used for distance. I had been telling her to say ‘a water dagger a foot long’, but then she told me I was mistaken as a foot is something we put our boot into. I have been teaching her slowly as we head towards the Elders. This was our fifth night away from the Homestead.

  I am finding out that yes, the English language is the most fucked up language, and there are so many damn homonyms! Words that are spelled the same and sound the same but mean different things.

  “Trust me, I know. Even in my world, when someone had to learn it, it was a pain in the ass. My language is a smattering of lots of other languages. I mean, don’t get me started on slang,” I tell her with a sigh.

  “Slang?” she repeats the unfamiliar word with a frown, turning to me.

  “Yeah. Slang words are made-up words that mean something else. I don’t even want to get into that,” I tell Leeha with a laugh. “That’s a rabbit hole you don’t want to go down.”

  “Your world sounds odd,” Bridget says from my other side.

  “Odd? It’s different. I mean, we use technology, but here you use magic. To me, that is odd,” I tell her with a smile.

  “I wish I could see your world,” Bridget says wistfully. “It sounds so fantastically odd.”

  “Well, I doubt that will happen, Bridget. My God told me that I have no body in that world, as my body has a bullet through its head,” I tell her. And I’m not sure I would want to go back to my world. Go to a world without magic? No fucking way.

  “Still,” she says with a sigh.

  “I have to agree. Your world, even with its fucked up language that you speak, does sound amazing,” Leeha chimes in. “Though the lack of magic, as you said, is kind of sad.”

  I throw another log on the fire and watch it catch quickly. We had stopped early for the night as Leeha had caught a small deer when we were running. Before I could even react, she had used a Water Bullet to shoot it with complete precision in the head. The kill was so clean that there was no blood coming out of the deer. I had Bridget use Air, and she carrie
d it along behind us as we ran.

  Leeha had me working on my stamina by running in spurts, and so we kept that up ‘til it was just starting to get dark, and she said we needed to find a camping spot. We ran for another fifteen minutes until we found what we needed. Once we did, Leeha prepped the deer, and it was already over the fire. The smell of the meat cooking was making my mouth water.

  The dried meat we had was good, with some kind of spice added to it, probably to cure it. The Elven Bread, on the other hand? It was fucking hard. I guess I expected Elven Bread to be something like you’d see in the movies, where it was soft, kept forever, and tasted like heaven on a cloud. Nope. It was nothing more than hardtack.

  “God, I would kill to clean up,” I say with a sigh. “I stink to high heaven.” I lift my left arm and sniff, before pulling away quickly in disgust. I need a lake or something to dip in. “Is there a lake around here?” I ask Leeha.

  “I have no clue. I never looked for one when I last went to see the Elders, and I was thirteen at the time,” she says with a laugh. “But yes, I would kill for a bath as well,” she finishes with a sad sigh.

  Yeah, a bath would be nice, I think with a smile. Hell, a hot tub for all three of us would be amazing right now. I was going to say I miss that, but I never really had that when I was on Earth. I went to a friend’s party once at his parents’ house and they had a hot tub, but only the cool kids went in.

  “What was the wistful sigh for?” Leeha asks me with a smile.

  “I was remembering something from my world. We had this thing that was called a hot tub where you would soak in it and air bubbles would come out from the bottom and the sides. The water was hot and it was good for sore muscles. It wasn’t used for washing, but to relax,” I tell her with a laugh.

  “That sounds like paradise,” Leeha says with a sigh. “I would love to soak in some hot water for these sore muscles,” she says and stretches up her arms, which makes her large breasts stick out even more in the tight outfit she is wearing.

  She had changed from her leathers into a white cloth outfit that is still open and shows off her chest and stomach. She is also wearing this blue stone jewel piece on her forehead. When I asked her about it, she said it was because she was going to see the Elders. It was meant to show that she was one of the stronger Water Mages. So a rank system, I told her, and she simply nodded.

  I look around the small area we are staying in for the night. It’s not fully dark yet, so I am able to see some of it. We are in a small clearing with trees all around us. Thinking about it, what’s the point of having magic if I can’t fuck around with it?

  Turning to Bridget, I tell her I want to try something. “Up for some magic?” I ask her with a grin.

  “Oh?” she says, turning towards me.

  “I want to build something. I know we have been using magic as a weapon. But do you remember that wall I built before?” I ask her. At this point, even Leeha has a look of interest.

  “Yes, the one that you created to protect you and Leeha while you were sleeping,” Bridget says, nodding.

  I nod to her. “Let’s try this. Earth.” Suddenly, Bridget changes from her Elf form to her Earth form. She is brown, and covered in leaves, dirt, and grass. Her eyes are acorns, and her hair is fine green vines. Her eyes are white mushroom caps.

  Thinking about what I want, I say in English, “Create a large bowl in the ground, large enough to hold three people and deep enough to sit inside. Make the sides smooth, with the lip extending about a hand width higher than the ground.”

  You have used a Spell command. You have used 1,000 points of power.

  “Oooooh!” Bridget says suddenly. “I get it! The context just came to me.”

  “What did you ask her to make?” Leeha says, looking at me suspiciously.

  “Watch,” I tell her with a grin, and I point at a spot about ten feet from the fire. Bridget nods and rushes to the area and seems to dive into the ground like a swimmer would dive into water.

  The ground begins to shift and move, and I can see the dirt get sucked into the ground and form into a round bowl. Then it slowly changes from dirt to smooth rock. Once it’s done, Bridget pops out of the ground like an acrobat and bows in front of us.

  “One hole in the ground,” she says with a laugh. “What’s next?” she asks me excitedly.

  “I think we can get Leeha to do this part,” I say, and I look at her. “Think you can fill it with water?”

  She stares at the hole uncertainly and then looks at me. “All the way?”.

  “No, I would say to about here.” I walk over, bend down on one knee, and place my hand about two feet lower than the top of the fake hot tub.

  “Sure, I can do that,” she says, looking oddly at the bowl.

  She puts her hand out and her Water Elemental appears, and I see that once again, it’s in the shape of a little female, making me grin. Her Water Elemental has been coming out like that every time lately. Suddenly, water starts pouring out of the hand of the little Water Elemental and into the bowl. Once it reaches where I told Leeha I wanted it, it stops, and then the small Water Elemental waves to me and disappears.

  Leeha turns to me and asks, confusion still on her face, “Now what?”

  “This,” I tell her, bending down again and putting my hand over the water. “Fire.”

  Then, looking up at the now fiery body of Bridget, I ask her in English, “Do you know what 100 degrees Fahrenheit is?”

  She gets a frown on her cute fire-colored face and says, “I do. I am not sure how I do, but I do. It’s a temperature.”

  “Good. It seems my God not only gave you context but information. I figured as you can speak English as well as me, you would know its meaning. Now then,” I say, looking back at the water with my hand over it. “Heat the water to 100 degrees Fahrenheit and keep it there.”

  You have used a Spell command. You have used 1,000 points of power.

  “Oh!” Bridget says with a giggle, and she walks into the water in her Fire Elemental form. The water doesn’t put her fire out, but instead it starts to steam. She sits down in the water and moves it around with her hands, enjoying herself.

  I turn to see Leeha’s reaction and I laugh. She is looking at Bridget enviously. “How about we wait ‘til she is done,” I tell her with a grin, and she looks up at me guiltily as if I caught her thinking something she wasn’t supposed to. But then Bridget pipes up.

  “Done!” she squeals, and as I watch, she changes back to her Elf form and sighs contentedly. “Oh, by the Gods, Alex!” she says, looking at me in shock. “The context for this and the experience are not the same!”

  “It can’t be that good,” Leeha says hesitantly. “I mean, it looks extremely hot,” she continues, pointing at the steam going up into the air.

  “Oh, it is,” I tell her with a grin, stepping back about five feet and undressing in front of the two girls.

  One thing I seem to have no problems doing with this new body is undressing in front of them. Once I am naked with the two girls looking at me, I walk to the edge of the rock hot tub and dip my toe into it. Oh fuck, it’s hot, all right! But not boiling. Slowly I put my foot in until it hits the bottom, and then I gradually put in my other leg.

  Once both legs are in, I slowly lower myself until I am sitting down, and I get a surprise. I expected the side to be dished-shape and to have to lean against it, but instead, there is a seat there! That wasn’t there a second ago. I look at Bridget, and she has a big grin on her face.

  “I changed it to sit better, so we don’t slide towards the middle,” she says with a laugh.

  “Damn, I didn’t think of that. You changed it on your own?” I ask her.

  She blushes and gets a worried look. “What that all right?” she asks me softly.

  “Of course!” I tell her with a chuckle. “That was a perfect idea!”

  We both turn to Leeha simultaneously, and she is looking at us with envy and uncertainty.

  “Come on!
The water is amazing!” shouts Bridget at her.

  Finally deciding to join us, Leeha nods and undresses. I can’t help but stare as she does. She has the perfect body. Slim, tall, and with large breasts that don’t need a bra to keep them up. Her skin is smooth and flawless. She folds her clothes and puts them on the ground. Unlike me, who simply dropped them where they fell. She stands back up, and even from here I can see that her nipples have gotten hard from the cooler air as the sun went down.

  Leeha walks towards us and looks down, unsure again, but then she slowly puts her foot over the lip of the rock until her toe touches the water. Her eyes open in amazement. She lowers herself until one leg is in, and then she follows with the other. Finally, she sits down next to me and looks around in wonder.

  “By the Gods, Alex. This feels so amazing!” Water flies in her face and she sputters, looking across at Bridget, who was the culprit.

  “See! Alex knows what he is doing! He is amazing!” she cries and moves across the hot tub ‘til she is on my other side. We are all facing away from the fire in order to keep our night vision. Shit! Fire.

  “Shit, the meat on the fire!” I blurt out, looking back towards it.

  “I got it!” Bridget says, and suddenly she isn’t next to me but is standing beside the fire, naked as a jaybird. She moves the meat over the coals a bit and then suddenly she is no longer at the fire anymore but is next to me in the water.

  “How the fuck are you doing that!” I exclaim in astonishment.

  “As I said, your survival is my priority. So I extended it to include that meat you want to eat so badly!” she says with a giggle.

  Laughing, I sit back with my arms over the wall of the hot tub. The girls, without being asked, both slide in against me, and they sigh blissfully.

  Chapter Thirty

  This water is amazing. God, I love doing magic! I start thinking of everything I can try to do with magic when my thoughts are interrupted by a hand on my cock. Opening my eyes, I look over at Leeha, who has a smile on her face. I look down and see that it’s her hand stroking my cock, making it harder by the second.
