Rex woke up after two days of resting. Using the Shadow Power constantly wore him out a lot worst than what he thought. He gently went down the stairs feeling every hurting bone.
"Morning, honey." Iris said.
She was wearing an apron with only a bra and panties on. Rex was surprised that she was this daring.
A nibble on his ear happened. Rex turned to the right to see who it was.
"Good morning, Sleeping Prince." Violet said.
Rex was truly surprised to see Violet acting this way. What was even more surprising was that she was dressed the same way as Iris.
"Truly a miracle." Rex thought.
Violet seemed a lot more joyful today than he normally knew. He was not for sure what was going on.
Ophiuchus came down. She was not expecting Rex to be up. When she came downstairs, she only wore a pair of panties.
"Good Morning, Mate." Ophiuchus said.
Rex turned and saw the chest of Ophiuchus. He started to blush. He did not think that she too would be on this train.
"Life is full of mysterious things. So why are they not worried about me seeing them currently?" Rex inwardly cried.
Bella came out of the kitchen. She was nude. When her eyes met Rex's, she joyfully jumped into his chest. She used her lower body to tease Rex.
"It truly is a blessing to see you awake." Bella whispered.
Rex felt his insides go crazy. He truly wanted to know what was going on. Not to mention, he started feeling tightness in his pants.
"This is going to be fun." Rex cried inwardly.
As much as she would want it right now, Rex was still barely able to move. She would do everything and there would be no sharing the deed currently. Rex would not allow this to happen.
Rex just held Bella. Finally everyone else came down. They were dressed like the others. Rex truly had no way to appreciate the views he was having.
Breakfast was ready. When the plates were placed, everyone looked at Rex.
"Rex, we decided to allow this to be your Christmas gift. So when you are ready, please give us ours." Iris said.
Rex was truly stunned at this announcement. He did not remember that they missed Christmas and know they were doing it.
"Of course. Give me two days to finish the shopping please." Rex asked.
He was not confident it would be done. He would at least give everyone something.
Breakfast was ate. Rex was the first to leave. It took him five minutes to actually exit the house. Every step he took hurt and the women knew. He would do this for them.
"Are you sure this was the right thing to do?" Ophiuchus asked.
"There are gifts that people have made for Rex already because of the beast. It should not take but a day for Rex to return and get them wrapped. Who knows, he always does surprises." Liz answered.
The women got up and got dressed. The quickly went to do their duties in the middle of town.
Rex had gone a few feet away from the house. He stepped into a hole and found himself beside the Shadow Nine Tailed Fox and his child.
Rex was glad that the duo were safe. He happily hugged them. He got an amazing idea.
"Can we go through the Third Realm to get gifts for everyone?" Rex asked.
"Sure." Both answered.
They were glad that they could spend time together especially since Rex was truly exhausted from using the Shadow Power. What made them happier was that Rex got them their gifts first.
For the Shadow Nine Tailed Fox, a piece of wood was carved to show that the duo were on equal terms. Showing something strange was over her. The child got a blanket that showed a father's love in many ways.
Rex finally got every gift he needed to. He returned to his house before the women did. He found several boxes of stuff having his name on them.
Of course, no one stacked it on top of each other. This is going to hurt is all Rex could get through his mind.
He finally got all the boxes inside Rex barely managed to sit on the couch before his body gave way.
He fell asleep on the couch. He was sleeping so hard, that he began to snore. This surprised Bella who was the first to come back.
She went over to the couch. She could tell that is where the noise was coming from. When she peeped over it, she found that Rex was asleep. She tried to adjust him to help him be in a better position.
It failed to help. She was stuck hearing it. Iris and Liz were the next two to arrive. When they heard the snoring, they knew that Rex had returned.
Shortly after Iris and Liz, everyone else appeared. They were happy to see that the master of the house was sleeping peacefully.
Before any good news could be said. Tiamat entered the house. This put an instant frown on each and everyone of the women.
"Rex will have to hurry and help save the others who need saving. If not, then the Realms will suffer greatly." Tiamat said.
Iris frowned.
"I know that you all want to celebrate this Christmas. Make sure that Rex cam hurry and rescue the others. Their time for rescue is quickly going down." Tiamat continued.
"He currently is too tired and sore to try and save those people." Liz said.
"When he is ready, I will help him recover quickly. This is to get the others to safety. Also, let him know that from the beast he and the Shadow Calamity killed. There is still a part of it in the Demon Realm, frozen. I do not know what the demons want to use it for. That needs to be eliminated." Tiamat replied.
This put a serious face on everyone. This was to began a search for where the Frozen Shadow People were being held.
