With Aaron's departure from the chieftain's Crimson Star Castle, his last remaining doubleganger vanished into thin air, but it had done a great job before that.
Thanks to King Elda's magic, Aaron and Elsa found themselves in the middle of the Bambara village and chucked at each other. Elsa was amazed at the level of skill it took to transport them to this point whereas Aaron was impressed with the chieftain's magic.
"I'll see you tomorrow then, Elsa," Aaron said to his apprentice.
Elsa was a bit surprised on hearing this and looked around her. It was bright and the day hadn't go so far that there was not time to open up the clinic.
"We're not working today, master?" she asked with obvious surprise smeared on her face.
Aaron smiled at her and shook his head. "Go and get some rest. We will resume tomorrow."
"Okay, master," she answered back.
Elsa bowed to Aaron and departed from him, heading towards her way home.
Aaron watched her go far and out of his sight before heading towards his own direction. He walked for some time before finally reaching his home.
As he approached the low gates of their household, Aaron heaved a sigh. He knew what he was expecting, after all, he went days without writing to Alicia or passing a message across to her, knowing full well how worried she can get.
Aaron clicked his tongue as he thought about it. Alicia might have even thought him dead since she can be that dramatic but nevertheless, he was home already and had no option but to face whatever she had coming with head-on.
As he approached the door, he remembered Rhis' mantra and chuckled.
"A man should be a man in all things!"
Reaching there, he bent the doorknob and the door creaked up, announcing his presence before even he did.
"Mum! I'm ho—"
Before Aaron could finish what he was saying, he saw a pair of large boobs coming towards him and before he could raise his head, he felt Alicia's body weight fall on his body causing him to reel back, struggling to keep a sturdy stance and not fall down the stairs.
"Aaron dear!" Alicia shouted, caressing her son's entire face and hugging him so tightly that he went breathless.
Aaron eyes rolled up with his face shoved in between her large bosoms. Alicia was energetic and for reasons unknown to him but one thing he knew was that she was happy to have him back.
She held him by his shoulders, checking him out thoroughly.
"Are you okay? Did they do anything to you?" she asked worryingly.
"No, mum. They didn't do anything to me."
"Thank heavens!"
She pulled Aaron close once more and hugged him again. Aaron, on the hand, felt more comfortable with the second hug than the first one he wasn't expecting. The softness of her bosoms pressed against his face and his hands wrapped around her waist without Alicia protesting any of these.
"Have you eaten?"
Aaron looked at her, his nose and the lower half of his face hidden within her cleavage, and shook his head causing her breasts to bounce more and her face to redden.
"Go and bath and I will fix you something real quick," she said.
"Okay mum."
Aaron left and climbed up to his door to do as Alicia had suggested.

Getting into his room, Aaron fell onto his bed and exhaled deeply, relaxing into the soft material that it was crafted with.
"Maybe I should add a massage parlour to the clinic," he breathed.
His moment with Elene came rushing back into his head as he laid quiet in his room. He didn't think of that when he was planning the Love Clinic at first but Aaron was a man with a flexible mindset that was ready to accept change.
He chucked. "If I can do that, then that's extra star shillings for my divine touch."
His massage was a highly potential business on the side and was bound to fetch him a good amount if he could just get the word out there. However, there was one mountain he needed to surmount first as he analysed how he was going to go about his newfound idea — the mountain made up of jealous husbands and possible male lovers.
"It's a female-only massage parlour," he said with a sigh. "I wonder how that would work."
It was one obstacle but a big obstacle at that. Aaron knew how jealous men could get especially when their wives or women that they have their eyes on start getting touched by another man. Even if he doesn't plan to do anything inappropriate to and with them, unless they so desired it, there was bound to be trouble sooner or later.
Aaron sighed. "It would be perfect for the single ladies but if they end up spreading the news, then I will have another issue on my hands because I cannot chase the ones that will come away."
He shut his eyes and in an instant, his imagination stretched far. Aaron could already see his hands doing the divine work on the smooth, milky skin of willing ladies. The soft whimperings that escaped their mouths reached his ears, caressing his drums softly. He could already feel the shiver and pleasurable spasms that they would moan to whenever he touched them.
As he imagined all these, Aaron knew at that moment that he was not going to back down on this idea because some man or a group of men were going to get worried about what their women were doing with him.
"Well, it's their problem and not mine," he concluded. As far as Aaron was concerned, he was seeing only subservient women and the star shillings they would offer for his services.
Aaron raised his hand at the ceiling and slid it as if unveiling something.
"Divine... Touch!" he said, giggling at himself.
Aaron soon realised himself and perked up, removing his clothes and flexing his muscles in front of his mirror like he usually did.
He touched his hair and it was thicker and longer. Luckily, he had a blade this time to cut and trim the hair, and he was going to do so before having his bath.
