Archer, Kassandra, Lucrezia and Demetra were led too a small palace built for them just inside the heavily guarded port, just as a storm descended on the city, causing people to rush home or into nearby buildings. Once inside, he slumped down in one of the comfortable chairs, sunking into the fluffy cushions.
The Demon Shark woman giggled at his reaction. ''Don't fall asleep, the others will be arriving soon,'' she said.
''I'm not,'' he replied, chuckling. ''I've been sleeping well lately, thanks to the women giving me the baby's and those little gremlins swamping me, all I feel is pinches throughout the night to make sure I'm still there.''
Demetra's yellow shark eyes lit up. ''How adorable, they love you so much,'' she said, beaming. ''I'm glad our baby's have a father like you, makes it different compared to how we grew up.''
''I see their growing bigger,'' Kassandra commented, putting her feet up near the fireplace. ''Especially Freya, she's getting smarter everyday.''
