Should Have Let Me Die - Chapter 209

“Get back from the hut, I’m going to open four Gates!”

“Are you sure you are healed enough? If you use the Gates too early…” But Haruna could see the determination in my eyes and left the hut not taking anything.

I waited until she yelled, and then I let the Gates snap open at full power, and the world erupted around me in a storm of leaves and sticks. The bed was gone and everything else…and I was sinking. I closed three of the Gates, the power had fully healed me and I felt great again, but I had learned another lesson in my frailty.

Haruna tried to come to me, but I put a hand up and then started to change. I let the dragon come out and consume my body. I watched Haruna the entire time, and I had to give it to her, she didn’t bat an eye. This woman was as solid as a brick shit house in her unwavering stance.

‘Climb on my back.’

I sent the message, but I got two mind deafening screams that made me cringe.

‘HYDE!’ -Eva/Trinity.

‘Oye!’

‘Hyde?’ -Haruna.

‘Oh my god, Hyde! We thought you were dead!’ -Trinity.

‘Actually, only she thought you were dead, but I told her we would have died.’ -Eva.

‘Hyde, who is in your head?’ -Haruna.

“Hyde, who is that? -Trinity.

Holy flying fuck, everyone was thinking over top of the next and my head was like a press conference with all the reporters calling out questions.

‘STOP! Hold on, I can’t think with you all talking!’

*Cricket chirping*

Better.

‘Haruna, Meet Eva, she is a clone of Nina, but she is stuck in my head and can’t come out. The more excited one is Trinity, she…is an A.I. built by Gripton.’

*Cricket chirping intensifies*

I rolled my eyes and motioned to the grinning Haruna to get on. I would have to be careful with her on my back with no thread magic to hold her down.

I knelt down and made it easy for her to climb on, but when she climbed on, I felt something wrapping around me. I turned my neck and looked back at Haruna who was growing vines from her hands. They snaked around both of us, and soon she was strapped down tight.

‘That’s so good! I wonder what kind of magic I would have if I could come out there? Maybe an orgasm magic!’ -Trinity.

‘At least turn around when you do it!’ -Eva.

‘What?! You don’t want to watch? I’ll let you help! If I had orgasm magic this would be-e-e…ahh! Oh, I feel so much better now!’ -Trinity.

‘Do I have to stay in here with her? Where did you get such a weirdo?’ -Eva.

‘Hey!’ -Trinity.

‘Play nice, and Trinity, go find a corner, and stop being a little hussy. Eva doesn’t need to see that all the time. I have a dirty enough mind without your help!’

‘Is it always this loud in your head?’ -Haruna.

‘You have no idea.’

I lifted up into the air, there was no need for some crazy jump or flapping of wings, just a gentle rise into the air. I rose up and got a better view of the ridiculously small island. It might have been two hundred and fifty meters across, how had she survived?

I rose until I was just above the clouds, there weren’t many of them, but I could only go so high before I heard Haruna start to breathe heavily so I had to stop and descend. I had gotten high enough that I couldn’t see the island before I had to drop back down, but there was another problem. Even as high as I was, there was no land in sight in any direction.

This was troubling, alone I could fly at top speed, but with Haruna, I had to worry about the G’s and the wind. I could shield her with my wing, and then move fast, but I dropped to just above the island first and then drew in a deep breath, opening up a second airway that was burgeoning and ready to bring hellfire.

This was the first time I had a need to use the dragon fire, and even in the present situation, it was still fucking cool as shit! The flame poured out of me like a stream of liquid fire, sticking to anything it touched. Soon, the entire island was up in flames, and I was satisfied with my work, but Haruna wasn’t that impressed.

‘What did you do that for? Do you know how long I spent on that little shit hole?’ -Haruna.

‘What? I thought you would be happy to see it burn? I am using it for a beacon so I can keep going in the same direction for as long as we can see the smoke. How did you get on this island anyways?’

I was heading in the general direction of southwest. I had to assume that I wasn’t tossed off course too bad, so if I flew this way, I should hit the islands. I pulled my wings up to shield Haruna, but I turned back to her when I felt something in the way of them. Haruna was encased inside some kind of jelly plant that had grown up and around her. I recognized the cucumber dark green of the jelly as the stuff that was on me before.

‘I will be protected inside of this I think, you can go as fast as you need. While we travel, I will tell you my story of how I was betrayed, by a female elf in the Firesti kingdom that I was born into.’ -Haruna.

‘A new story that I haven’t heard! This is exciting!’ -Eva.

‘Yeah, come and we will get popcorn and you can snuggle with me in a blanket. Then you can, give me a hand, hehe, if you know what I mean!’ -Trinity.

‘Don’t you ever get tired of being a pervert?’ -Eva.

‘Do you get tired of breathing?’ -Trinity.
