This was something that was close to my heart and one of my own personal struggles, so I could completely understand where she was coming from.
"Yeah, I get that. If that is what you want, then I will make sure that it happens, and you and your friends can reunite again. I wish that it was an option for Matthias, but that is not the case, so I will help you the best that I can," I said, and Draconia gave me a tight hug.
"Thank you for understanding," She said as we continued on our way.
Finally, after much searching, we found Karma, Destiny, Luck, Fate, Murphy, and Nya sitting at the entrance of the White Cat's Paradise looking bored. When they saw us walk up, they all lit up with joy and ran over to us. All over them were wearing complimentary white cat ears that were twins to my own, down the hair.
I had to admit that it made them all look adorable, even Fate, but especially Murphy! Man, the things that I would do to that redhead bundle of misfortune just waiting to happen! ...not thinking about the elephant in the room on this; I was just going to enjoy Murphy looking like a sexy little cat girl as they ran over.
As soon as they got to us, Fate suddenly ripped the ears off her head, blushing when she caught me checking her out.
"Geez! Nobody said you had to wear them all the way out," She said, and I could only smile at her as Karma came over to give me a hug, looking cute with her cat ears.
"This place is so much fun! I hope that we can come back here again!" Karma laughed, and I lifted her up in my hug and spun her around.
"Next time, I will come with just you five, and I will give you the grand tour!" I said with a laugh and then smiled. "We are going to have to think about opening up this mall and place to the public, but some changes will have to be made first. Still, this is a conversation for another day. I think we should be getting back, but you can come with me, Fate."
"What do you want with me?" Fate asked with narrowed eyes as I opened a portal to my house for the other four Winds.
"Tallia wants to still see you, and I have to go see her," I said, and then hugged each of the Winds, except for Luck, before they left back to my palace.
"I am headed home now. Make sure Cherry gets back safe," Draconia said, and I gave her a hug before she opened her own portal into the open air.
I watched as she ran and jumped through, transforming into her massive black dragon form. The portal closed soon after, and Nya dragged Luck over with her.
"See you when we see you; now, give us both some love before I vanish, Nya~!" My little double-eared cat goddess ordered, and I chuckled before giving them both a tight hug and then peppering them both with kisses.
"Next time, I will think of something to make it even more fun," I said, and Nya just smiled in response while Luck waved goodbye.
And with that, it was only Fate and me left.
"Did you have fun?" I asked as I walked over to the black-haired Goddess, that was without any power now.
"I guess so. The girls were really excited, and there were some fun things... but I was hoping that we were all going together," Fate said, and I moved closer, but she jumped back like a scared cat.
"Don't fucking come near me! I am just saying! Keep that tail the fuck away from me, got it?!" Fate snapped, and I backed up with my hands up.
"Sorry, that was not my intention," I said, and Fate just shook her head at me.
"I am still trying to get used to being in this body, even if it feels more like my own than the other one. The last thing I need is you turning me into a puddle with that stupid tail of yours! Just stay away!" Fate said, and I nodded, trying to keep my distance.
"I understand. I will stay away," I said, and then opened a portal to Tallia's front door and knocked on it.
"Tallia, it's me. Can I come in?" I said, and a minute later, Tallia opened the door with a smile on her face.
"Galio! Of course, you can come in," She said, hugging me tight and looking me over with worry.
"Are you okay? You look like you have been through Hell or something," She said, and I shook my head.
"No, I am fine. We just had some fun at the White Cat's Paradise, that is all," I said, and then looked back at Fate. "I have Fate with me as well."
Tallia smiled and stepped aside, allowing Fate to enter, and I waited till she had left the side door to leave the house before entering with a sigh. Nemoria was over at the kitchen table drinking tea, and Tallia guided me over to one of the chairs, sitting me down.
"So, do I dare ask what happened?" Tallia asked, and Nemoria smiled.
"It doesn't look that bad. There were no tear stains, and she was still holding the ears from his park. I am sure it was just a misunderstanding," Nemoria said, and I nodded, letting out a sigh as I leaned back.
"Nothing really happened. We just had a nice day out, but at the end, when it was just Fate and me, she said she wished that I was with her group. I instinctively moved towards her, and she jumped back and snapped at me, but I just backed up and said sorry. I mean, I get where she is coming from, and I was in the wrong. She was just trying to tell me how she felt, and I pretty much just ignored it," I said, and Tallia patted my arm gently.
