I focused back on the vast Hydrous ocean before me. I started thinking about how I could fix the problem that was central to all of this but gave my head a shake.
“I have time,” I said with a sigh, but then I turned to the sound of the door sliding open.
“Yes, you do. I am sure that you are probably trying to solve all the problems that you have in your head right now, but you should stop,” Lidy said as she walked into the room.
“I know I should, and I am trying,” I said with a weak smile as Lidy walked over with her horns swaying back and forth.
“You know, things haven’t really changed much since then. I am still preparing your meals, and you are still making me eggs,” Lidy said with a smile as she slipped her hands around my waist.
Lidy Forester, my favorite cafeteria worker, always gave me extra servings in the back room. She was a relief from the constant stress I had been under while working on the God Frequency, but I have been intimate with many of the girls.
Still, Lidy and I had spent a lot of time over the ten years that I had worked for Helsin. Her temper had gotten worse, but besides that, she was still the same beautiful woman that I remembered.
“I am just glad to be able to finally remember who you and all the girls are to me. We had a connection from the beginning, but now I can remember why,” I said with a smile, wrapping my arms around Lidy.
“So, captain? What is your plan now?” Lidy giggled, and I kissed her with a smile.
“Well, tonight we are going to find out what is hiding under those horns, but for now, I need to see where we are heading. I haven’t had a chance to see the control room, and I want to check out what Kieta has been working on lately. The fight with Thesta was pretty anti-climatic,” I said, and Lidy grinned up at me.
“I like the sound of that tonight. I also could come down with you, and we can test out some of her new weapons. I promise to go easy on you,” Lidy said to me, and I laughed.
“Sure, but I am the one that is supposed to be saying that to you, right?” I laughed as we broke apart.
“Don’t you remember me kicking you through the walls?” Lidy asked, giving me a sideways look.
“Not an easy thing to forget, but I am a bit different now. I am curious to see what I can do now if I really cut loose,” I laughed and then gave Lidy a smug smile. “Give me the best you have, and then we will have some fun. I feel like you are going to lose some of your heat when you change, so you might as well go all out while you still can!”
“You had better remember that you asked for it! If you think that you can fight me now, then I won't hold anything back,” Lidy grinned as we walked through the kitchen to the front of the house.
I opened the door for Lidy, but there was just a tiny metal room on the other side with one door and a kiosk window.
“Zack! You are back!” Keri cried out, and the door opened up as the short red skinned girl with burning eyes came running over.
I scooped Keri up and kissed her neck and face until she squealed for me to stop.
“What are you doing back there?” I asked, and Kerri gave me a serious look as I held her.
“I am keeping the people out that don’t belong! Mex said that there are some people that don’t belong past this point, so I am the guard!” Keri explained, putting her hand in a salute to her forehead.

“State your… bussy-ness!” Keri declared, and I smiled.
“Our bussy-ness is to see where we are headed next. So, can we come in?” I asked, but then I heard Mex yell from the other side.
“Keri! That’s Zack! You don't have to ask him!”
“But you told me to ask everyone!” Keri yelled back but then opened the door for us.
Lidy giggled as we walked through into another hall that opened up to the Control Room. There was a sunken area around a massive raised section that had a massive table in the center of it.
A number of the girls worked behind consoles in lower areas, but Lidy and I walked up to the upper section first. Mex was up there with Nushi, Nixi, and Beeno, who all smiled at me as Lidy and I walked up, except for Nixi.
“Why do you look so grumpy? I mean, besides all the normal reasons?” I asked, looking right at Nixi.
“This idiot wants to head to Death Summit Island! What reason should we be going to bother that creature for?!” Nixi declared.
“If we are going to defeat the Demons, Zack is going to need more help. Getting the Old Gods of this world on our side is in his best interests!” Mex declared, and Nixi tossed her hands up in the air.
“Are you really sure about this, father? From what I know about Fearcania, she was once kind, but from what I saw in Lizy’s memories, that is not the case now. Do you think that it is worth the risk?” Nushi asked, and Mex looked at me.
“What do you think? If you can bind them, you will gain power from them. You are a Sage, so if you can get to level fifty, you will be able to bind them to you. That is a long way away, I know, but you aren’t going to want to come back to get her, right?” Mex asked.
