"I beat him once without even trying; this time, I will have to try, but I promise you that the results will never change, just like Mathias never will. I refuse to let any more happiness be taken away from the people I love or me, so I will make sure that I do not repeat history again," I said as I returned the hug.
"I am sure you will end things this time," Nemoria said, and then we shared a long kiss before Tallia and her left.
I said goodbyes to everyone else, sent Lexi and Karine back to my house, and was about to send Eliza back, but she jumped into my arms, hugging me tightly. I returned the hug, but Eliza held on for a long time, so I pulled her tighter into my chest, wrapping my tail around her.
"Are you okay?" I asked, and she nodded into my chest.
"There are just some many amazing women in your life that come after you from your old life, but I am not one of them... I guess I am just worried that you are going to forget about me..." Eliza said softly, and I took her head in my hands, lifting it up so that she could look up at me.
"That is never going to happen. You are too special to ever be forgotten," I said and then kissed her forehead. "The fact that no one knows who you are makes you one of the most unique and special people that I have met. I mean, Tallia, Nemoria, and all the other girls are amazing, but you are a mystery, and that is what makes you so alluring."
Eliza smiled up at me before finally letting go of my tail and standing on her own. She started to walk away but stopped and turned around, saying one final thing.
"I will always be here if you need me. I am marked by you, so you know how to find me," Eliza said as I opened a portal.
"You can get a hold of me any time as well. Even if you just want a kiss, just put your hand to the make and think about me. Just make sure to use the proper emotions when you are calling me. If you stub your toe and want to tell me about it, and I am in the middle of a fight, I will think you are actually hurt and in trouble. It is a silly example, but an example nonetheless," I said, and Eliza giggled and then gave me one more quick hug.
"I love you, Galio!" She said and then ran off through the portal to her backyard. I called it back to her, and she turned with a big smile, and waved bye, then ran off as my portal closed.
I turned to the remaining women, and Draconia had her arms crossed, and her nostrils were flaring.
"Are you ladies ready for an adventure?" I asked, and everyone nodded with excitement, and Draconia was the only one that did not seem as enthused as the others.
"Come on, let's go! We have wasted enough time!" Draconia shouted, finally coming with the rest of us and pushing me along toward our destination.
As we set off, I couldn't help but feel a slight excitement building up inside me. After shopping and everything else, it would be nice to end the trip off at the Zodia Mall Amusement Park, The White Cat's Paradise. Although there were no real cats here, I had built the place to have all forms of entertainment. With its magical attractions and cat girls, I knew I would be in for a treat when we arrived. I knew this was going to be an amazing experience, and I couldn't wait to get started with some much-needed relaxation!
Though, it would be in the form of stomach-turning rides unlike any of the Winds of Change had seen before. My previous relationship with Fate made it so that he never wanted Karma and me in the same room, so I never got to take any of them here. Things were hopefully different now, but I would be focusing on Draconia this time anyways. After all, this was her idea, and I hadn't given her any of my time since coming to this world.
"Everyone ready? The White Cat's Paradise awaits us!" I said as I opened a portal to the amusement park that I had built so long ago. Everyone cheered and clapped with anticipation while I stepped through, leading everyone into the fun.
The White Cat's Paradise was an impressive sight to behold with every step we took. The bright colors and lights of the various carnival rides and attractions sparkled in the sunlight, filling everyone with a sense of excitement as they saw what the park had to offer. The pathways were lined with white cats from top to bottom, giving it a unique magical feeling as if fairy tales could come alive. The entrance gates were tall and large, made out of shimmering metal that glittered like stars in the night sky. As we stepped through the gates, we felt as though we had stepped into another world, one of fun, adventure, and enchantment.
? "Wha?! This place is inside of the mall?!" Luck exclaimed, and Nya laughed and grabbed her hand.
"Come on! I will take you girls and show you around while Draconia and Galio go try some rides that none of you are going to want to try, Nya~!" She said, and I smiled at her, silently thanking her for making my life easier, but I got a 'you owe me' wink in return.
"Hey! I want to try some of the rides too, Nya!" Draconia said, and Nya just laughed.
"Silly Draconia, you can go ride some scary ones with Galio," She said, and Draconia perked up, practically jumping around in excitement.
"Okay! Let's do it then!" Draconia said, grabbing my hand and leading me away from everyone else towards the rides. As she dragged me there, I couldn't help but feel a bit of excitement as well. It had been such a long time since I had visited this particular part of the mall that it felt like coming home again.
