Stepping through the portal was a nauseating experience, it feels like you are sea sick while also going up and down constantly on a roller coaster that is doing barrel rolls. That experience was only going through the portal itself, and upon stepping out of the portal the view that I saw could rival any beautiful view.
The place we stepped out of the portal was as lush green medow, a clearing where the portal was where we were. Throughout the medow were sprinkles of different types of flowers, some being roses, sunflowers, poppys, violets, and so on, thier were even flowers that I have never seen before. The grass was about ankle high at the lowest and seemingly about maybe 2.5 meters at the tallest. Looking farther I could see trees, and not just any trees but redwoods, oaks, birch, magnolias, live oaks, pines, cypress and more. Most of those trees were not able to grow everywhere but it seemed now they can.
After I had finished taking in the view I looked towards my girls, and when I did so the sight of them was completely different than when I saw them in the dungeon. Sarahs sunset orange-red hair now seemed to have a visible hue to it, her hair that seemed normal in the cave now had a silky smooth look to it that had a noticable shine. Her alabaster skin looked vibrant in the morning sun, her emerald green eyes seemed to connect with this place giving off a slight glow. Her now well endowed body seemed fuller now compared to when I saw her in the cave for some reason and I don't know why.
She took in a deep breath of this crisp and fresh air and exhaled with a contented sigh. "Ahhh, I feel so alive right now, this place feels like an extension of my body. I can not explain the feelings im feeling right now but, for what I can explain is that I am happy and whole now." Sarah said with a jubilant smile on her face, then she turned to me and that beautiful smile that adorned her perfect face faded and was replaced with furrowed brows, a scrunched nose and a frown.
"What?" she said with a glare so intense that if possible would have burned my soul. Through that intense glare that my stupid brain could not recognize I said loud enough for her to hear, "Beautiful." In that split second her soul burning and angered filled face vanished, and was replaced with a slowly growing shade of crimson that crawled all the way up to the tips of her tapered ears. In a voice so low you could have sworn that a mosquito was near your ear, "w-w-what?"
I started to regain my composue at some point in her transition from and angry beauty to a bashful and shy beauty which added to it even more. I then realized what I had said and smiled, this outcome was what I did not expect but accepted. I then raised my right hand with while my upsidedown extended index finger touched the bottom of her chin and gently raised her head up so our gazes locked with each others. I then spoke after we continued to stare into each others eyes, " I realize what I said, and I will not retract it for I have no reason to. I think you are the most beautifle woman I have ever laid my eyes on." I said this while glancing over to Sasha, I then did something neither of them expected. While Sarah was still in a daze, I lowered my left hand to her waist and in a smooth motion I brought her in closer, so close that both our chests touched one anothers and I brought my face down and hers up slightly..... and we kissed.
There was no resistence, no signs of refusal, and when Sarahs mind finally caught up to her actions her eyes went wide and then moistened slightly while squinting before finally accepting fully and closing her eyes and wrapping her arms around my neck and enjoying the kiss. The kiss only lasted for maybe 40 seconds but in those 40 seconds both of them could feel each others feelings, and those feelings were not only mutual but just as intense as well.
After they had parted their kiss, they rested there forehead against each others for a little before Mike looked on over to Sasha who had a suprised yet sad look on her face. Looking back to Sarah who looked up at him and just nodded and then smiled, smiling back at her he left a kiss on her forehead before walking on over to Sasha.
Sasha had seen the whole exchange and could not decide on an emotion. She was disgusted but also jealous, she was angry and also jealous, she was jealous and also jeal-.... ok maybe she was mainly jealous. On one hand she was his sister, but on another she was only his sister in name now. In the old world this kind of relationship and love was extremely frowned upon, even forbidden.
But in this new world where even her entire being was redone and remade and the only thing that is preventing her from showing her true feelings was her pre-new world mindset. Sasha was never really ever able to confront her feelings, especially when put on the spot.
Mike watched the conflicting emotions Sasha was going through, through her eyes. She started to lower her head but not before taking on a light shade of red that continued to deepen, and as this happened mike made his choice.
While she was looking down and away mike had stopped arms reach from her. Mike was just looking at her with a satisfied smile on his face, "She just looks so damn cute, I do not know how I am resisting her right now but it sure is difficult," I thought to myself. I knew of the old worlds forbiddens but why does the old world have to have influence in the new one. I approached her slowly and extended my left arm up slightly to slip around her waist and pull her close. As the motion was slow it was very smooth as well, when her body and mine connected her previously downward looking head shot up so quick that a whizz noise could be heard.
Our eyes locked with each others and her slightly red face became one of a tomato or could be considered one. Sasha was still having a hard time coming to terms with her feelings so I made the move. Having her so close made my smile more genuine, I raised my right hand slowly to caress her cheek while bringing my face closer and using the hand I caressed her cheek with placed it behind her neck and brought her face closer to mine, she did not resist.
We were inching our faces closer to one another, I could feel my heart beating like a war drum and the slight thumps that were also coming from her as well made it easy to determine this was something she really did want. The distance kept shortening until it happened, our lips met for the briefest of moments but that was not the end but only the beginning. That brief peck was the straw that broke the camels back, she lunged toward me again and this time her hands wrapped around my neck while also bringing me lower so that I can meet her lips again.
This was no forced act, but a test to see if it was all true, and by everything I could bet on it was. I always had a slight suspicon that they had liked or crushed on me, but do to how even though I was adopted, I could never persue them like they wanted and neither could they. We stood there for what felt like days or maybe hours, the act made time flow differently, we slowly parted while a bridge of saliva was formed from our mouths seperating.
"That was nice," Sasha said in a voice so soft you would think you were hearing something. "I loved it, I won't deny it, I really loved it with both of you," I said with a smile on my face while glancing over to Sarah. Sasha also looked towards her but her looking was more of a jerk of the head with eyes the size of dinner plates. When Sasha caught Sarahs eyes she started to panic and buried her head into my chest.
She may have not noticed it but I did, while I was watching the whole exchange I had noticed after Sasha buried her face into my chest and wrapping my arms around her I had kept my eyes on Sarah. I noticed her eyes turning misty and jubilant smile adorned her perfect face while staring at the embaressed Sasha. I did not see any jealousy, anger, hate, or even disgust but only love and pure happiness.
We, 3 people who were never ment to be, were finally able to be. Feelings locked away and emotions buried, resurfaced and exploded with an intensity to great it made all of us happy.
I gestured towards Sarah to come closer and she did. I gestured to come even closer, she finally got the hint and she entered the hug. We stood there enjoying something that we could have never enjoyed the way we always wanted to. We stayed like that for almost an hour, for as the sun started to dim we finally ended the hug.
"I think we should make camp here since we kinda got distracted," I said to both of them. They nodded and asked some basic questions about what we would need and I told them and then we got to work.
I started to mark out the area for our temporary camp I took a look at the sun to try and guage the amount of time we had until the sun sets. I looked around to try and find the sun, it took me a second to actually find it, and oh boy when I found it there was not only A sun but also a SECOND ONE!!!! 2 suns like how? I had a feeling that the suns still operated normally or in this sense for now like a single body for some reason, I could not tell you why I was 100% confident in this assumption but I was. Now going off that logic I had to say around 2 hours of daylight was left and that made me get back to work.
After the outline was done I started to make a lean-to. I started by putting to roughly 10 foot poles in the ground and only submerging about 3 feet of it in the ground. My abnormal strength made it very easy to push them in the ground, Then I made a little split at the top of both poles so I could put a pole running across to connect them both, and as I was making this I had an idea and yelled for Sarah to come to me, and within a few minutes she stood beside me.
"Yes~," Sarah called in a very sultry voice, I then looked at her with a razed brow. "Did you have to say it like that?" I questioned her, She just giggled. I exhaled deeply and just looked at her with a straight face or so I thought, apparently I had a hint of a smirk on my face which made her smile like a child who showed there parent a rock they found. "Ok, I need to ask you to try something, do you think you can give it a shot?" I asked before mentioning what I wanted. "I mean I can give it a try, but I don't think if what you are going to ask is to much I will be able to," Sarah said to me and I just smiled at her.
"It is fine if you do not succeed, this will only be a temporary camp so try your best ok," I said to her reassuringly. She nodded and listened to what I asked her to do, again she nodded and started to focus.
In mere seconds, the air around me started to get super dense for a second before it just abruptly disappeared. After wondering why there was a heavy pressure on me I tossed it to the side and decided to deal with it later. I looked back towards where Sarah was and to my suprise she started to glow green, not only that but with multiple different shades of green ranging from yellow green to dark sea-weed green.
All that green mist must have been mana, I started to guess that she was using the mana in the area to hopefully grow the 2 straight sticks over the one that is crossed over them. I waited at a distance for some time before I went back to her, The multi-colored green arua started to slowly dissapate and that was when I started to approach her. Upon my arival next to her I was stunned, I saw a FUCKING HOUSE MADE OF DAMN TREES!!!
"WHAT! DID YOU DO ALL THIS IN THAT SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME!" I was so shocked that I did not realise I was basically shouting, at least not until I looked towards her and saw her on her knees hunched over on the ground. My eyes widened in fear and rushed over to her to see what happened, "Sarah are you ok? What happened?" I said in a panic. Slowly but surely Sarah stopped trembling and her breathing was finally becoming more normal, she started to sit up but not before I aided her in doing so. "Please tell me you are not pushing yourself to hard, what happened?" I asked her, and to my suprise she said, "You."
"Huh? What do you mean me?" I asked her is suprise. She raised a finger as a gesture to wait as she was still heaving, I waited for her to calm herself a bit and for her breathing to stablize. Sarah was about to speak but got interupted by Sasha who shouted with wide eyes, "WHAT WAS THAT NOISE!!! I SWEAR I THOUGHT I WAS ABOUT TO PASS OUT!" When I looked on over to her I could see the fatigue and weakness in her, I looked to Sarah and she had the same look to her, then I heard a Ding.
*DING*

"Holy fucking shit," I said in a neutral voice, not because I was not suprised but I got scared shitless. I had nearly almost killed Sarah, now I started to crack little by little, until I got up walked up over to Sasha and picked her up in a princess carry and walked over to Sarah and sat down next to her. I put Sasha to my side then proceeded to hug them both tightly, it became really quiet after that as the only sounds that could be heared was my soft sobs. Time flew by for I had cried myself to sleep, hugging both Sasha and Sarah tightly but tenderly.
****
I awoke to find myself inbetween both the girls as I smiled I then realized that is was MORNING and I had fallen asleep. I sat up to be completely suprised, I was in a house, more like a small efficiency but that still suprised me for I thought back to when Sarah was helping me and all I could do was shake my head and smile. I guess she put a lot into this and it did come out amazing, I stopped for a second after hearing a moan coming from the, "Huh?" I said in suprise, "Damn, I keep getting suprised, I guess I should stop at some point but it still is shocking."
I saw a bed, and not just any bed but a bed that looked to be about 1.5x the size of a california king and that was just the bed frame, the actual bed was the same in size but had a depth of about 2 feet from the underside of the mattress to the top. The depth of the mattress was not the shocking part but it was what the bed was made out of, dark green moss covered the top of the mattress and for what seemed to be the casing were leaves, leaves of all types from pine, to oak, to mayple leaves. The springiness and softness of the mattress could also rival that of sleeping on a cloud, I could not comprehend how this was made but I was thankful.
While I was gawking at the wonderfull mattress, both Sasha and Sarah had fully awoken and just stared at me lovingly. After some time had passed I heard a, "ehm," come from the bed, I looked up to see both the girls looking at me with happy smiles along with caring and loving eyes. When I saw that, I walked over to them, I had wanted to throw myself at them but for some reason I could not because of my 'pride?' I could not understand why my body would not listen, but I just let it be.
When the girls saw me walking towards them they just opened there arms awaiting my embrace. When I reached them I had to climb on the bed and when I did so I wrapped both of them in my embrace without saying a word. We just stayed like that for some time until be parted. Once we did seperate, I looked at both at them and told them that it was time to go and to where, only god knows.
