Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 210: Holy Fucking Fly Fucking Donkey Shits With Wings!

Burning the island was a bust and a waste of time, but it was still fun to breathe fire. Turns out at about fifty miles even a dragon's sight meant jack shit. Luckily, Eva came up with a good plan, but I didn't want to worry Nina.

'It will be fine. I have the map in here because you have seen it. Once I contact my sister, I will be able to tell where we are roughly, then we can fly back to the mainland or keep going.' -Eva.

'Okay, do it then, we can't keep flying blind.'

'She is in front of us straight ahead, you need to fly to your right.' -Eva.

'What? You want me to keep flying forward? Haven't we gone too far?' 

'No, the signal is faint, meaning we are just over half the world away from her, the monster Islands are closer to the east side of Bjrothrone. If you were alone it would have been faster to fly that way than take a ship because there are no ports on that side. Monsters in the water are extremely violent to anything on the top of the water, and mountains line the coast all the way up to the Crashing Wave Empire.' -Eva.

I had already adjusted my heading and now I was turning on the speed. Eva would ping me when to adjust, and soon I could see bright yellow sand coming up in the distance. I was relieved and happy to find the islands, and I was even at one of the far corners, but to my disappointment, there was no big steel box. Then I had to angle higher north, but I wanted to test something first.

I moved slow close with my wings out, and Haruna snaked her plant vines down my wing and then out to stretch past. Once Haruna knew where the wall was, I moved closed to touch it.

'It feels like soft, but stiff glass, but I don't think we are seeing inside right now either, I think it is an image, or something like that.' -Haruna.

As the tip of my wing dragged across the image and made it ripple like a flag, but only briefly. Next, I went straight up, I could go as high as I could go this time, so I wanted to see just how high it was to the top of the. I floated up fast, but the barrier kept going to the point where I needed to take deep breaths, it must have kept going into space.

I dropped down and headed straight north as I did, flying faster. I got about thirty minutes and then took a hard left. Whatever the small island was I wouldn't touch it until I had checked the one with the storm around it.

Another twenty minutes put us in range of the continental-sized thunderhead, and black visible twisting storm head that rose into the heavens above. It was quite an ominous thing to look at, but with Eva's help, I found the box.

Relief flooded into me, but I rushed the ship, but then stopped. Don't be a dodo bird, up and over top add straight down. I don't need another ass-kicking halfway across the ocean. 

People were gathering and screaming up from the deck and waving as I lowered down. I was so happy to see all the girls, it made my heart hurt to think of the stress they had been under for the last day. I landed, and Haruna was already sliding from my back and I changed back. 

The girls rushed me, but I asked them to wait and let me see my little girl. I had seen her get caught, before...I just needed to see her. The girls separated, understanding my stress, and Kyra was standing there with a girl that looked to be about five years old. She had grown so much in such a short amount of time, my heart almost broke for the thought of all the lost time.

"Hyde...I'm so sorry for what" Kyra started to try and say.

I walked up, and picked up my teary-eyed little girl, and hugged Kyra into us with my free arm.

"We're all okay, and all of you aren't trying to go off on your own. That's all that matters."

"I'm sorry, Daddy!" Kyla yelled, finally cracking the little bit of calm she was holding on to.

"It's okay, Muffin. Let's just keep our eyes forward when we run, okay?"

Kyla nodded to me and I kissed her cheek and then kissed Kyra, turning back to the girls that were gathered behind me. I did and quick headcount and only Titania wasn't here, but Xelios was standing with a red-haired girl with a braid who was just a bit shorter than holy fucking fly fucking donkey shits with wings! THAT WAS TITANIA!?!

"Babe! Is that you? Titania?" I asked, almost yelling at her.

She was just smiling at me with her hands behind her back, just looking at me. What a little shit! Shrinks over a meter and she is just smug about it! I hugged and kissed each of the girls and then went over to Titania, who was standing alone. I still had Kyla in my arms, I wasn't ready to put her down yet, I was scared she would grow another year if I took my eyes off her.

"We have all been very worried about you, but we knew you weren't dead so we haven't been sitting around. I ended up evolving after having a long conversation with Xelios about the things that I want. When you go to the next world, I want to come with you, and to the next and then Aihalla. We all know that there is no leaving this game now, and we all know how much you have given for us...and that you plan on staying with us forever," Titania said hugging me and Kyla and putting her head on my chest. 

"Did you ever doubt that I wouldn't stay? I made this choice before entering the game, and that will never change, I love you all too much!"
