I slid into the booth with Nancy following behind me. Willow turned on the main view screen. Nancy snuggled into my side while Willow prepared. An image of Mansion Valley populated.
“The caves are here, we are here. Mining is being conducted here, here, and here. The first priority is the southern wall blocking the county road access into the corridor of our valley. We widened the opening with plans for a single gate. Southbound traffic on the left to exit, northbound traffic on the right to enter. Even the second wall is expanding now before it is replaced,” Willow said, pausing to see if I had any input.
“We’re paving all this land?” I asked, pointing to the corridor.
“We intended to yesterday, at least in front of the first new wall. We were going to set up quick reaction forces here with a small garrison to supplement the wall defenders. But… Gravity tanks don't need paved roads, only trucks do. So we have scrapped the pavement besides for military structures and walkways.”
“Hold on Willow, we’re getting ahead of ourselves. You just said we’re making adjustments and the image you're showing me has pavements. I am going to gear up. Consider this a warning. You’re on the right track but the committee needs a fairy, and a crixxi on it. I can stomach you not wanting to waste ten minutes fixing something like black on the map. But I cannot handle the lack of foresight from -”
“I know, I apologize Eric. Perci said the same thing, but to brief you anyway before you stepped outside and saw changes and then cursed up a storm for not being briefed. She is covering our butts and said the blame is to be laid on her,” Willow said with a sharp gaze, and serious tone. Ah, perfect. I yanked my little moxy soldier down for a deep lustful kiss. She broke our lips for another more tender plant. “Thank you for understanding.”
“Understood, the fairies arrived hours ago. I am not concerned about the rapid changes being done right, I know they will get corrected if needed. I expect them at the next briefing you are -”
A knock at the door. “I heard you wanted to see us,” an assertive female voice said from behind the door.
“Who is that?” I asked and Willow gave a meek smile with a shoulder shrug and palms up. Nancy chuckled to the point my gaze stopped her.
“That is the headache we have been trying to keep at bay,” Willow said with a scoff. “Just remember, you could have had a cockroach that would have been obedient. Or hell, even fewer docile fairies. This one is all on you trying to be nice. No good deed goes unpunished my love.”
I rolled my eyes and commanded, “Enter!”
The door snapped open as it was rapidly swung to latch onto the side of the RV with a thud. I realized too late that the lead fairy had flung jizz into her hair. Well, that’s what you get for opening my door like you owned the place. I even managed to keep my face flat.
A trio of fairies barged in. The two leading females fluttered vibrant wings jostling for position to be the first in. Their elbows applied minor nudges, an escalation was averted with the male in the back tsking.
They wore something akin to bathing suits, goosebumps etched their arms from the night chill they were letting in. Fairies were definitely virum enhanced with curvy hips and large breasts. The male had rippling abs with bulky muscles. Their youthful faces made me guess they reached an optimal age younger than humans. Where we were around the young twenties they were late teens at eighteen or nineteen. Even as oversexed as I was I felt my cock stirring. Damn virum and its awesome effects. I fucking loved liking Nancy’s pussy earlier it was so yummy.
Between the two, a bright blue-haired fairy with sparkling green eyes won the dominance match. “We demand -”
Willow slammed a fist into her exposed abs. She connected right in the money spot to knock the wind out of the fairy’s lungs. When the fairy caught her breath she defiantly went to yell at Willow.
Willow bitch smacked her so hard my ears rang. My lovely lady stood tall over the fairies asserting her dominance. A glance was given to me for direction. Perfect. My inner voice screamed in pride.
“You, male in the back, step forward,” I commanded, waiting for him to bypass the females. “Give me your name and explain why I am having problems with your kind adapting to our ways?”
“Elithen, my lord,” Elithen said with a courteous bow. Well, they knew manners. I held up a hand pausing him.
I dialed into the command net on my Gpad and broadcast a call to everyone. “The fairies I acquired, the ones used to needing protection. I need their leader brought to RV3 now.”
Maria patched her video feed in and said, “I was cooking with Longoria, and she is taking the personal underway to Castle. Already fluttering away. Can we get wings?”
“Uh… Maybe. We got jetpacks,” I said and Mrs. Torrez frowned. “Thanks, Maria.”
I closed the connection.
I nudged Nancy out of the booth. “You three follow me. As your contract holder, I order you to not speak, unless spoken to. Now Elithen, continue to explain why I am getting a headache in the middle of the night by unruly fairies,” I said, exiting the booth stepping over the fairies. I had glanced over their bio page back in the grand market. Sure they were into dominance but you think that would be settled.
My bare feet smacked against the stairs while I exited the RV. My eyes widened in shock at seeing the outside.
“Holy shit!” I muttered.
“See I told you,” Willow said from inside.
“Proceed or wait, my lord?” Elithen asked.
“Hold for a moment.”
I absorbed my surroundings. We were backed against a steep mountain cliff. The solid rock wall soared into the sky with the moonlight light illuminating two towering Goliaths hard at work. A dirt wall was creating a barrier, the cubes of dirt and rock from the underway debris were being compacted into crude walls. A backhoe was digging on the other side for what I assumed was a moat. Umm… Yes! I was getting a freaking moat. I needed shark guards holding laser guns. Woah! I was stupid and wanted to smack my forehead. I would need sort of water babe instead of sharks. Unless there were shark babes. Hmm...
Inside the rapidly growing wall was enough space for a castle. RV3 was surrounded by TG99s and TP63s. Even a dozen octosuits were out by the wall opening. RV1 was inside the interior as well. Not far from RV3 was a pavilion much the same as the first dining hall. I saw a vat of greenish goo swirling around happily to the sound of classical music. Beside the vat was armor and weapons racks. There was a whole armory right here. Score.
The sound of nails being slammed into wood pulled my from my drooling gaze. A construction crew was rapidly attaching boards to four by fours creating walls. A team of male fairies were helping glide boards into place. The efforts were efficient and I watched the crews with a smirk.
I stepped for the vat of acrium with a motion for me to be followed. A female mounamine was waiting by the stairs to the acrium. She curtsied with precision while beaming a welcoming smile. Ah, this was nice to see. A mounamine was cute in different ways, their attitude certainly helped with their appeal.
“Welcome to Bastion,” I said, removing my robe for her. I touched the bowtie to study the list. Only one task, serve Eric Yang and his family as needed. The little mousy woman was wearing a thick set of leathers that were very alien. That would need to be fixed because I could see large mounds that were stubbornly covered. “What is your name, young lady?”
The mousy woman looked down before speaking. I gently lifted her chin to see the dark eyes of happiness. “Sammie is the name I chose from your language, my lord. Me and a dozen mounamine have been assigned to RV1. We are here for your every need,” Sammie said with a meek smile. “Queen Perci asked for volunteers for the royal household with a few caveats.”
“Let me guess, children?” I asked with a raised brow.
“I know better than to discuss such things with my Master. We will have your armor prepped on the table once you exit the acrium home,” Sammie replied, pointing to a clearing around all the gear. Three
other mounamine curtsied when gazed upon. Yeah, drab leather outfits were the worst. Perci was probably already fixing the issue.
Nancy handed her robe off and went up the stairs ahead of me. Her wide hips and juicy booty snapped with each step.
“Thank you for volunteering Sammie. I shall wait for my Queen to go first,” I said and then turned to Elithen. “Return to your explanation of why these fairies are so unruly.”
Elithen was given dagger stares from the ladies but they remained silent. Right when Elithen was about to talk I heard.
“Excuse me, I am searching for King Eric. I am Longoria, I was requested,” Longoria said from a platform station a dozen feet outside the pavilion.
Woah, impressive. The main mansion commute was at least a half mile if not further to the south. She got here in only a minute or two. The inner man child in me wanted to ride the underground train, if it even was a train.
“Ah, Longoria, come to my side, please continue Elithen,” I said, waving Longoria over.
My eyes went to watch through the clear acrylic. Nancy was swimming in the green goop talking away. She had a delightful smile on her face telling me she was enjoying her interaction with a manikin form of goop floating by her.
Elithen cleared his throat to get my attention and said, “We wild fairies us a hierarchy system. All species in our forests fall under this societal structure. All of them, my lord.”
“Ah, I think I get it now. But please continue.”
Elithen bowed his head and said, “That means our native animals must respect their elders. In this case, we know no other way. Females run our society, males tend to be child raisers. Fairy females like Seteria, and Nilvia, here will compete until a pecking order is established. We lost our former Matriarch and her family during the purge to get us under contract. We are leaderless, and because we also are without the majority of our most dominant fairies we are resorting the pecking order not only among ourselves but among the others here.”
I gave a loud hmm sound. “And if I dictate a leader?”
“We understand dominance. Queen Willow is the current Matriarch after her display. She would need to be challenged and defeated to lose status,” Elithen said. I paused him from continuing.
I turned to Longoria and asked, “How do you operate?”
“We obey our contract holders and protectors. All reasonable requests are met with reasonable responses,” Longoria said, performing a well-executed curtsy. She returned to a stiff posture. Regal in her pose, and elegant in her speech. Her outfit reminded me of a ball gown. “We wouldn’t adhere to this dominance non-sense.”
I nodded in understanding. “What would you recommend I do? I offered to let them return home, yet their home is lost,” I asked Longoria who frowned as she gazed at the blue-haired fairy. I then realized what she was staring at.
“If they let you mate with them already there is hardly an issue, I am impressed by this Master,” Longoria said pointing to my clump of seed in Seteria’s hair.
Seteria pleaded with big eyes to speak. I nodded. She found my jizz in her hair and sniffed it. A quick lick caused her wings to flutter and a hum from her chest sounded.
“How did this get here? Clever tactic. I want more now,” Seteria said with desire.
“My Queen was having fun, you flung the door open that had yet to be cleaned,” I said with a chuckle.
There were like five “OH’s” at once in understanding.
“Nilvia and I are twins, we were next in line and should be the rulers of our coven. If it still existed, and we returned home the two of us would jostle for top position over many fights. Here though, it is different. We are very weak among the Bastion people. The crixxi beat the curses out of us, your female soldiers too. Even your males put us in our place,” Seteria said with a muttering of disappointment.
I folded my arms and replied, “Here are your options. You stay and are low on the totem pole, even below Longoria. You will help me build a mighty empire and in return I will let your status improve. But on my orders, not on fighting. I am scrapping this pit idea. Last thing I need is you getting in good with the community only to get your ass kicked by some newly matured fairy and boom I have to replace you. Are you paying attention?”
My stern voice was given nods in response. I continued. “If this is beyond your ability to rationalize then you get resold and become,” I said trying to think of something dire. “Well, I won’t care. Longoria, what can Bastion do to improve your life here?”
“We need more vegetables, so improved food. We like clear pools of water with glowing fish and waterfalls to swim in. I know, wings normally conflict with water but ours are different. Also, there are some large trees we can transplant that would suit this area. Both the crixxi and we fairies would adore that, and then if we could get a budget for personal items I could live like a goddess. I would be most happy if those things happened,” Longoria said in such a regal tone. I was starting to feel this lady was wise with years of experience. While she divulged her information the three other fairies brightened with nods of agreement.
“You would build me a castle anyway, correct?” I asked, tossing my hands on my hips.
“Yes Master, in exchange for a stable home I will work to your desires,” Longoria said with a curtsy. “I don’t want to say getting the desires of your people filled will result in anything different. But picture if the roles were reversed.”
“You’re wise to be cautious with your words,” I replied.
Longoria curtsied and said, “I live to serve, and have done so for a long time due to my cautious mannerism. A very long time.”
A silence settled over our conversation as I pondered my options.
A gasping Nancy startled Sammie.
“Wow! That was amazing,” Nancy said from the edge of the acrium tank. She sauntered down the steps in blue and white armor that absorbed the lighting somehow. The woman looked radiant. “They told me I am having two girls and a son. I am so happy I going to go into the RV and cry.”
Nancy kissed my cheek and fled. Willow went to comfort her. I raced around Willow and caught Nancy. I pulled her into a tight hug that lifted her off the ground. I kissed her forehead and said, “I am happy for us my love.”
“I know. Prison, military, end of the world as we know it, and now I am just so stinking happy. Okay, I want to girl gab with Willow, go do Bastion King things,” Nancy said, smacking my bare bottom.
I trotted by a smirking Willow exchanging a hi-five. The four ferries were deep in a conversation sorting things out so I ran by them and dove into the green goop to introduce my naked awesomeness to the acrium.
A serenity of calm washed over my body. A playful display of a human form swam with me.
“Hello Eric,” a million voices said at once. “Your arm may cause issues, it is not organic.”
“I have a covering that is meant to mimic organic -”
“Yes, we will need that.” The voices replied.
I breached the surface, swimming to the edge of the container. “Sammie, go into that RV,” I said, pointing at RV3. “And ask Queen Willow for my silicone sleeve. She will understand.”
Sammie ran off to complete her task.
“What did you decide?” I asked, propping my armpits over the vats edged.
Elithen turned to me and said, “We are learning what it is like to a working force and not a hierarchy society. Longoria is giving horror stories of serving intellectually inferior races. There is a dark universe out there, here, it is not bad. And -”
Longoria interrupted by placing a hand on Elithen’s back. “And if you upgrade this settlement into something specific with our needs being met. Then you will have been the best protector species I have ever worked for. And based on that,” Longoria said, pointing to the vat. Her gesture went to encompass all the items of gear around the outpost. “And then all these weapons of war, then I think we will not be sold anytime soon. Let me ask something please, King Eric. What a
re the likelihoods of you buying these trees I request?”
“Depends on the cost. What does one cost say... comparative to you?” I asked since we both know what she cost about the price of three personal tanks.
“You can get a hundred for -”
“Then done, no second thought. Uh… Uno memento,” I said. Sammie came running out with my arm sleeve flopping like a dildo. “Hold it with two hands lovingly, it's the only one I got. Set it on the top of the stairs.”
I called Perci audio-only. “Why no video?”
“I’m in the goo.”
My hand smashed the video button and a camera hovered to show me. I saw Everly in forest green armor casing. Her hourglass figure was on full display with even her tail having a coating. The coverings were thicker over vital areas like the torso and thin on the limbs. She added extra height to her feet to tower over those approaching her. Crixxi were lined up kissing her cheek as they swore fealty to my crixxi queen. “When is auctioning over?”
“Just the last big batch of crixxi left, why?” Perci replied. “Everly is wanting to buy some more fairies if we can. We do not have enough for a long term gene pool unless they are compatible with humans. Well, she also wants more builders.”
“I have a counteroffer,” I said and a top exposed ear of Everly’s rotated. She held a palm out, halting the procession of crixxi before her. She approached Perci so I continued. Crixxi could hear so damn well. “Longoria here has a wish list. Sammie too.” Sammie pointed to her chest and I nodded.
“Uh… I don’t get it?” Perci replied.
“We are going to stop purchasing contracts and improve the quality of our contracts. Longoria, what is the name of the trees you would like to purchase?” I asked and she sent me a message to my translator. I converted it to my Gpad and sent it to Perci and Everly. I muted my audio before shouting, “Willow! I love that you girls are bonding but I need Gpads on these five! Stat!”
“What are you hollering about Eric,” Perci said watching the feed.
