There were now five creatures in Mike's already cramped space, no one had room to stand so Mike insisted on holding the little ones with his arms.
The door was sealed tightly and Tair unfurled his wings revealing his rather simple attire.
He wore just a pair of shorts he left his chest bare.
Makes sense.. He always used his huge wings to hide his upper part.
"This is the map of not just our kingdom but our island in particular." The knight explained while Shine wore a sulky expression.
"What's up with him?" Mike wondered out loud but Tair shook his head with a smirk.
The guard must've beat him to it…
Mike was analysing the map thoroughly, he saw the fishing dock and the little shack island he was on.
"What's that bridge?" Horu pointed out.
"That's the bridge connecting to other regions and islands, it's for those who have neither ship nor wings.
"It cuts off?" Mike asked.
"No, it goes on for a long while it's on a different part." The unicorn rolled his eyes.
Mike decided to shrug it off, until something caught his eye. "What are these small marking around this large thing?"
"That's a ravine sir." The elf politely responded while Shine began pulling at Tair's wings.
"It's a highly dangerous area." Tair added.
"Yes, your brother is right, this is where a group of bandits or rebels live." Shine immediately added.
"Or?" Mike tilted his head at the choice of words.
"We aren't certain of their goals." The knight elaborated. "There were some guards sent to disband them but their leader was too powerful. He possibly possesses shadow magic, which is not easy to deal with." His eyebrow twitched and Mike's heart began pounding.
The perfect man!! He will get me pregnant and not care about the baby once I run off! He'll probably send me off after a one night stand!
Mike's eyes sparked with joy and the knight slammed his hand on the map snapping him out of it.
"Your majesty!! Out of all places!!! I'll personally drag you out of there if rumors spread about your presence near any of these bastards!!" His cursing managed to startle everyone including Mike.
"I won't!" Mike bowed.
I totally will. I'll be fine!
Mike reaches out to take the map and furls it in.
"Brother." Tair huffed. "I won't!" The other insisted
Terrible liar. Everyone knew, even the little ones.
"Don't be stupid!" Soku kicked Mike's side.
"HEY HEY! DON'T MAKE ME DROP YOU!" Mike scolded while wincing.
The three most reasonable gave each other a glance. Despite their differences they could tell he was up to something.
"I'll help you, but you have to tell me when you go."
"Ah!?" Mike jumped up at Shine's response.
"All of us." Tair pointed at the knight with his wing and his other at himself.
"Okay! Deal!!!!"
—
"Okay! See ya!!" Mike waved in the middle of the night at his brothers and elf buddy.
"Do you have the gem?" "Do you have the knife?" "Do you have the right boots?"
All different questions each man asked.
Mike wondered how two of the three could even see him since their eyes are always covered!!
"Are you asking about my boots because you cant see them!" Mike teased.
"No, your pants are very long. Perhaps trim the ends to not trip over them." The twins answered in sync.
…
They seriously remind me of those two.
Ah?
Mike shook his head in confusion trying to figure out who he's even thinking about.
He pounced off of the wall and landed comfortably on the grass.
His clothes were no different from what he preferred, they were a white long sleeved shirt and nice thin ankle long pants.
But these boots!!
They wrapped tightly onto Mike's feet and calves. Mike felt twice as fast and could barely feel the ground shift beneath him.
There was a gem in Mike's pocket that would directly teleport him back to Tair's and Shine's bedroom.
They even share a bedroom… Jealous!!
Mike took out the map and began running to where the map was pointed.
He may have not been great at directions but he knew how to run in a straight line. He followed his route flawlessly; he ran through an open glowing field despite the temptation to stop; he chose to keep going.
His body wasn't tired at all and he finally arrived at the edge of the ravine. By the looks of it this seemed to be quite thin so following it should've been easy.
The trees began to lessen and there were tree stumps left behind and some tents could be seen from afar.
When he was about to take another step two blonde men suddenly fell from a branch above him hanging upside down.
"BOO!"
Their faces immediately acquainted Mike's fists causing both of them to hiss and recoil.
OH! THAT COULD'VE BEEN THE BADNITS!
"sorrryyy!!" Mike apologised while looking at the tree they came out of.
"Little prince… Little prince.." The voices echoed around him.
"What lures you to this place…" They both hummed in sync.
"I wanna meet your leader." Mike confessed without hesitation.
"We won't move! Turn around!" They both hissed but Mike shook his head.
"I just wanna talk to him!" He insisted.
"NO!" They both dropped off of the tree hanging upside down once more.
They had beautiful blonde hair and blood red eyes, both of them had fangs sticking out past their lips.
"Vampires?" Their skins were so pale Mike almost thought they were ghosts!
"hmmm~ clever boy" they both praised in unison their voices soft and hypnotic.
"Thank you!" Mike felt pride despite the backhanded compliment. "Bring me to your leader now?"
"No."
Mike stopped to consider until he just decided to walk around them. When he was halfway past them they both grabbed his shoulders.
"Don't make this complicated." They insisted.
Mike turned around shaking their hands off approaching them until he was face to face with them.
"Please let me through." Mike placed one of each hand onto their cheeks. His eyes were filled with something they couldn't read.
"We won't."
Their bodies suddenly stiffen and twitch; they both dropped onto the ground with a loud thud.
As if having a seizure they were twitching and hugging onto themselves.
"I'm sorry." Mike bowed his head at their shaking bodies before walking off.
Their eyes followed his back raging with bloodlust.
A dirty little trick I learned a while back… Handy!
Mike felt pride surge through him but he walked in a bit more ready, apparently they knew of him so he wasn't gonna act all oblivious.
When he got close enough another man popped up, the ravine was pretty close by so if anything Mike could jump down and teleport back.
"Fancy!" He chuckled while eyeing the prince up and down.
Mike was about to respond back to him when he suddenly saw a familiar face from afar.
ZIKAN!!
The man looked back to where Kioshi was looking and stepped to the side to obstruct his view.
"Hmmm?" He hummed with a teasing yet questioning tone.
"Can I speak to your leader? Or captain? Or whatever you guys call the big dog?" Mike smiled at the man.
Sure the first time being polite didn't work but aggression never led him anywhere!
"Let me think…" The man eyed him up and down once more while scratching his stubby chin.
"I'm feeling generous, state your reasoning." short brown hair but a scar running along his left eye. He had a more rough looking face but he's got a pretty good body to match!
"My honest reasoning? Or a more vague one." The prince offered after finishing his analysis of potential sperm donors.
"Oh? Should I not know your true intentions for meeting our 'big dog'?"
The man leaned down holding his ear closer to Mike. "Go on, I'm even keeping it a secret for you!"
"I wanna see if he's handsome or not." Mike whispered.
There was a moment of silence before the man burst out laughing. He held onto his stomach while leaning back.
"you know what!! SURE!" The man was so loud they pretty much caught the entire camp's attention.
He extended his hand and Mike happily took it.
"So eager!" The man chuckled while leading Mike towards the largest tent.
"Well excuse us for not having anything to greet you, your greatness." He jokes.
"Just the leader is enough!" Mike insisted.
When they went past the fur curtains Mike was immediately greeted with nothing.
"Did you lie to me?" He immediately accused.
All there was was an empty comfortable sofa made of all sorts of rags and furrs. It definitely looked like a resting place for someone fancy. There were a few unlit lanterns hanging off of the beams and a few extra small cushions on the ground much thinner than the plush ones in the palace.
"He should be here.. Maybe he left for a bit." The man seemed just as lost as Mike.
"Take a seat, I'll find him." He left, leaving the little prince to fend for himself in this tent.
He tried every cushion and even the sofa but none of them were comfortable enough.
Ugh!! I got spoiled! And I thought my broken bed was bad…
Mike sighed After testing practically everything including the table he decided to stay standing.
"Who the hell visits me after that large bastard.." A low growl could be heard from behind him and Mike turned around to take a look as steps approached.
"Be nice be nice!" A familiar voice insisted. When the curtain raised Mike's jaw almost hit the floor.
HE'S… MY TYPE!!!!!!!!
Standing on the opposite of him was a man with grey skin and long pointy elf ears sticking out of his long silver hair. Its length reached all the way down to his back.
Black eyes with white pupils… Who is this angel!!! I understand! I finally understand!!
Mike definitely wasn't finished drooling; his bare arms were perfectly sculpted with muscles and gold bracelets around his wrists.
Mike had finally found an appreciation for shirtless men since they have done nothing but bless his eyes with their muscular and lean bodies.
His muscles weren't aggressive like the dragon sailor but they definitely were something to gawk at.
He wore some ragged pants but those were such an afterthought.
"So? What do you think?" The other man showed off his leader and Mike raised his thumb while lowering his head.
Composure… Deep breaths.
He regained his posture and took a deep breath.
"Hello!" Mike beamed with a toothy smile.
The elf did not return the smile nor the hello.
"Could I have a moment with you?" The brunette suddenly laughed and puffed into smoke after hearing the prince's request.
Oh! Okay!! Is he gone?
Mike looked around and he found no trace of the scarred man.
The elf decided to walk past him and take a seat on the cushion.
"State your business." He commanded.
Mike flung himself onto the mans lap grabbing him by the chest locking their eyes together.
"IMPREGNATE ME AT ONCE!!" The prince insisted at the top of his lungs while digging his nails into the man's shoulder till it began drawing blood.
The dark elf was left speechless.
"I'm sorry I got too ahead of myself!" Mike leaned his face slightly back allowing him some space.
"I just want your baby! Or rather your baby making thing! Or just the seeds are fine!"
The elf couldn't believe his ears, eyes nor his senses. None of them reacted to chop this thing's head off.
"In fact! How about now! We got time! I can make it quick!" Mike grinned from ear to ear his eyes fogged with need and impulses.
Finally snapping out of it the elf grabbed onto Mike's throat and flung him onto the table with a slam.
"YOU!"
"ME!"
"You…!!!" The man couldn't even finish his sentence but Mike grabbed onto his wrist, slightly pushing aside the bracelet.
"So now?~ I'm fine with choking!" Kioshi groaned but the elf immediately retreated while wiping off his hand on his thigh.
"HARLOT!" He hissed.
"YES!" Mike agreed.
Their eyes locked with tension.
"I just want your baby.." Mike scooted closer to the edge of the table. "I promise once I have it I'll leave you be!" His legs slightly spread apart in suggestion.
"No." His voice was firm.
"Come on!" The prince whined but the elf was unmoving.
I need a back up, I need to think of more men, he's not enough! He might deny me!
Mike grew frustrated and jumped onto his feet. "Okay! But why not!"
"Why should I!?" He retorted.
The prince didn't think to plan this far. He thought that this would be an easy hit and run, but this man got more pride than the males in his home land.
"Can I give you anything to convince you?" Kioshi attempted to turn it into an exchange.
….
"What do you gain?" The elf analysed the young prince, unable to tell his intentions.
"I gain your baby." Mike smiled. "And?" The elf raised his eyebrow.
"Your baby."
"Get out." He turned away.
"Can't we make this work?" The smaller man whined.
There was no response. "Give it some time!" Mike cheered up. "I'll send you letters every day!!"
Before the grey man could say anything Mike already sprinted off fully engulfed by his delusions.
