Should Have Let Me Die

I struggled With Kyra as she tried to climb my back and bite my neck. I looked at Kadence and Harmonie, but they were both laughing together now at me. I finally got ahold of the slippery little vixen and held her at arm's length.

"Your mine now!" Kyra announced while biting her help lip.

"No."

"I didn't ask you!"

'Ooh, she is persistent. It looks like wife number one has picked herself!' -Gripton.

'I'm not getting married, I'm taking over the world!'

'You're going to have to marry a couple of women before this is all over.' -Gripton.

'Bullshit, I'm gonna be one of the tyrant kings that stand too far above everyone else!'

'Oh? You and What Army? It will take your entire life to gain enough people to take on the entire world!' -Gripton.

'Wah?'

'The only way to do it fast is to start scooping up noble wives from other kingdoms!' -Gripton.

'Hold on, you fucker, you never told me about any of this before!'

That because your a chicken shit virgin that is scared of women! Why do you think I didn't tell you? If I had, I would have had to use extreme measures to change your mind when you rejected me, and neither of us want that. -Gripton.

'What am I supposed to then about the girl?'

'First off, tell her you to accept whatever she is offering her.' -Gripton.

"Fine!"

Kyra's eyes went huge, and she got a goofy look on her face and slipped out of my hands. She rushed forward and kissed me fast before darting back and out of my reach. I hand to turn around and kick a rock hard enough to hurt my foot. I had almost broken into a full blush. Damn girl and damn me.

'FUCK!'

'That one just slipped right out, eh? No matter, pay attention to her!' -Gripton.

I looked back to see animals coming from all directions. Most were small, but there was a grey wolf among them. Kyra was talking to them all but stopped as the wolf approached.

I was worried about her for some reason, but the wolf approached Kyra slowly. It placed its head in her hand, and she spoke to it, then it said back!

"Little Elf Princess, I have heard your voice many, but I was unable to talk to you!"

"I know this is all so new to me, and I'm excited to be able to hear all your voices. This power is all thanks to Hyde!" Kyra explained while excitedly pointing at me. "He's my new mate!"

"Mate?"

"Mate?" I ask, as well.

"You just said yeah"

"Well, ya, I guess…"

"See?"

"Hmm? I must inform your father at once. Before I go, know that AraciQueen is waiting for you all. I sent word ahead once I knew your power had evolved. Good luck. You will be hearing from your father soon."

The grey wolf bounded off into the forest and left me open-mouthed. Kyra came back over and wrapped herself around my arm. I patted her on the head, knowing resisting was useless at this point.

'A princess! How many other royal miscreants are we going to find in the backwater village?' -Gripton.

"Well, Trem, let see what you got!"

Trem smiled and stepped up to a tree and held his hand on it. Suddenly the branches pulled sideways along with the tree starting to lean that way. Trem concentrated again, and the tree went back to normal.

Stepping back from the tree, Trem gave a bow and walked over to Ganth.

'Wow, not much for showing off, but that's pretty cool, changing the direction of the object's gravitational pull.' -Gripton.

'Just wait! I saved the best for last!'

Last but not least, I turned to Kadence. She had separated from Harmonie, and I wave her over to me. Kadence had an unsure look on her face as she walked over.

"Are you sure you want me this close to you?"

"Yes, but you need to go with the others, Kyra."

"But…"

"No, butts! I listened to you. Now listen to me!"

Krya scurried off with the others, and it was just me and Kadence left in the clearing. I looked at her hands, and they were shaking, so I took one with my bare right hand. She made a sound but slowly stopped shaking.

'What are you doing! Get back, you idiot! This one took in a lot of magic from you for some reason, not as much as Harmonie, but this magic is different.' -Gripton.

'I'll be alright, I think. What the fuck does it matter to you? I die, and you get the rest of the day off, right?'

'No, not right! If you die, then this world won't have a chance! Even though your plan doesn't sound like much of a plan, it's still better than not having anyone who will try something stupid!' -Gripton.

'Still, I don't feel danger from her. Fuck it!'

"Show me what you got, but take it slow."

Kadence created a small ball of fire, then tendrils of fire started to pour out of the ball. Soon they were weaving in intricate patterns, and I was glued to the display until something went wrong. The grip on my hand tightened, and the lines of fire started to get tangled.

Soon the tangle pulled the mess of burning lines closer to us, and I look at Kadence, who was sweating from concentration. She looked like she was about to lose control, so I took my left middle finger and put it in my mouth. Ripping the glove off with my teeth, I reached over with one finger and tapped the ball of fire and burning tendrils.

It disappeared. All the flame and fire were gone just like that, almost like an illusion. Kadence gasped, but I stepped back, letting go of her hand and holding my hand away. I quickly put on my glove and went back to her, helping her steady herself.

"Well, That was quite the display! Next time let's stick to shooting fireballs and save the fancy shit for training?"

"How did you do that?" Kadence asked between gasps.

'I have to admit, you're getting the hang of this!' -Gripton.

"What I give, I can also take away. Except, I can take away all magic from a thing."

Kadence then leaned over and put her hand to my ear and whispered something that made her, but I kicked another rock. What is wrong with these damn women? Was this going to be the whole thing? I give a girl superpowers, and she falls head over heels for me?

'Well, when you rescue oppressed people and give them away, so they never have to go through it again, come on, what did you expect. We will have you married to half the continent by this time next year!' -Gripton.

'Fuck off, you pervert Grip!'

'I supposed I deserved that one.' -Gripton.

"Hey?" That was Kadence, shit. I forgot that she was leaning on me, and I zoned out.

'Can I tell them about you?'

'Oh, Yes! This show will be good, I shall make popcorn!' -Gripton.

"Hey, sorry. So I I tell you why I space out you can't call me so nut job, OK? I'm not some Looney Toons psycho, OK?"

"What's a…"

"What I'm trying to say is that there is a god inside my head, and he talks to me."

"Wah?!"

"You hear voices in your head, Darling?" Kyra and the group and filed back over.

'Do you think I should get more popcorn?' -Gripton.

'Shut the fuck up!'

"Are You talking to God right now? What is he saying?" Ganth asked with interest.

"He asked if he should get more popcorn."

"What's popcorn?" Kadence asked cutely.

"Nothing, it doesn't matter. My point was to let you all know I'm not ignoring you, and to just give me a minute to finish talking to him, OK? So, now, are we all pumped up to go see the queen?"

"We are going to see her? I thought we were supposed to kill the AraciQueen, aren't we?" Trem asked with a dubious expression.

"Why? I think this is a misunderstanding, and That big off meant to start a fight, but that not what I have planned!"

After explaining myself and going over the plan, we all started moving. I was in the front with Kyra and Kadence, While Harmonie and Garth were in the back. Trem was falling from tree to tree, sideways?

'HA! Now that's falling with style! Look at this group of once rag tags!'

'We will see.' -Gripton.
