Chapter 170: Jenna ck


    Over the next two days, I helped Queen Anti, my mother as I had taken to calling her, with getting the city back into working order. The ce was a mess and people had questions, but that part wasn''t for me to deal with, no, instead I was very busy. Doing things, and stuff...okay I was beingzier than a cut cat, but I had time to kill and this wasn''t my mess to clean up.


    "...The demon beast tribes were hard to get near, and in the end, we just gave up on them. After losing about ten men, I decided that it was best just to see what else was on the ind."


    I was sitting with Captain ck as she regaled the tales of her trip to the Monster Inds. I have to admit, I was on the edge of my seat the entire discussion, this was fascinating! The stories that she told me made it seem like the inds were a whole other world that was just waiting to be explored!


    "So, how did you run into the bloodsuckers then?"


    "It was less of us running into them as it was them guiding me. I was like a pull, making me want to get closer to that ce" Jenna ck exined, but she let her voice trailed off, her eyes going distant.


    "What was this ce? A temple or something like that?"


    "No, thinking back now, the ce was nothing more than a hole in the ground with many cave structures deep down inside at the time when I was there. I can still remember entering the ce thinking that it was just a hole in the ground, but when I left after finding the Pure Vampires it was like leaving a hall of glory. I can remember asking them why they wanted to leave such a grand ce, and they said they wanted to try new things."


    "Well, they weren''t lying, but things are slowly starting to go back to the way it was, but I will be changing things once my people are here. What do you n on doing, now that you are not an eternal bloodsucking vampire?" I asked jokingly.


    "I was thinking of getting a new flying ship and traveling north, to the top of the world," Jenna said with a far off look, towards the mountain range that blocked the bay on the other side, and the far off Tri-Inds.


    "I don''t suggest that a very angry person up there and you just don''t want any part of that, yet. How about youe and work for me? I could use a good captain, and I supply you with a ship and crew. The only thing is I might ask you to run errands here and there, but for the most part, the ship and crew will be your free of charge. Plus, when we get back, I give you a little boost too, magically speaking that is, I already have enough wives, hehe!"


    Jenna took a drink of some wine straight out of the bottle, and after almost a full five counts, she let the bottle breathe. Jenna let out her own gasp to suck in the air but leaned forward with breasts almost falling out of the white silk dress she was wearing. Her ck hair fell down around her beautiful face and green eyes that were trying to bore holes through the other side of my head.


    "Why would you want to just give me, of all people, a boat and crew for free? Just so I can run around and make these children''s scratchings for you? I will, but, why?"


    "Chicken scratch, looks like you''re trying to pleasure yourself while you draw, am I right?" I asked standing up and backing away with my hands to the sides.


    This woman had been constantly moving towards me and I had to get out of the way before I got suffocated. The ''Chicken Scratch'' was her magic to draw maps, but when she did, it looked like she was shaking uncontrobly, and the maps were almost impossible to read, but notpletely. Nina and I had worked together, talking about how we could use the drawing, but we had decided to wait for Tescelle to help us with it.


    "What is your point, Baldy?"


    "Oh? So you do like my sense of hair fashion? When we get back to Dreams I have a wife that can project maps, so we can use that with your ability to make maps, after I give you the power!"


    "You keep talking about this power, what does that mean, exactly?"


    "Hmmm?" I put a finger on my lip, trying to think of a way to exin it.


    "It is the King Magic, You get to be a hero or like one." Came the muffled squeak from my pocket.


    Julius hadn''t changed from a bat and didn''t want to leave my pocket, so I didn''t force him, but I would be kicking him out soon. I was sure that someone would be keeping mepany this evening, and I was pretty sure I knew who would be at the head of the army. I really hope they didn''t overdo it and bring it to many people.


    "Sure, I''ll work for you and wash your feet, if youmand it," Jenna said standing up straight and looking serious.


    "Hey! What happened to the hussy that just drank half my bottle of wine my mother-inw gave me! Now, are you all ready to go and see the world?"


    "I have only heard myths about this magic, and if Julius vouches for you after being turned into a bat and shoved in your pocket, then I have no reason to doubt what you say is true. I wille with you Great Herald, let''s see what kind of trouble we can stir up!"


    "Okay, so, it''s Great Master Hyde, and you better not be stirring up trouble! I want you to explore and make maps, just, this time, don''t bring home any more Vampires, or at least let us know youring."


    "Oh, yes, I''ll just send a bird with a letter the next time I''ve been mind-controlled!"


    "Fine, but we will have to figure out a good crew for you to have that can prevent that. The next step is getting back and then I have to make a trip to see my Father-inw before he dies of old age."


    "How many wives do you have?"


    "Woman, don''t even get me started on that!"
