Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

"What is the point of your existence? You are an infinite being, so you are never going to die as long as you have my mother's heart. How can you not think about the grander scale of things?" Calishora asked me, and I stopped, and the scene changed as I sat down in an idle powerboat.

"Sit down first," I said as Calishora started to look around with shock.

"How do you keep changing the scenes?" Calishora asked as I put her arms out to balance herself, the boat rocking gently. I reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her into the seat.

"I am in control of everything here because you invited me in. Since this is your mind, I am using your imagination to create memories from my past. This one is just one of the many relaxing things that I enjoyed doing with the girls," I said, gesturing to the fishing gear in the back.

There was also a lunch bag, but only half of it would be food. The rest would be books in zip lock bags with our phones.

"What is the point of this?" Calishora asked as she looked around. "It is beautiful, but what are you going to do here?"

"This!" I said with a smile, grabbing the lever on my right and pushing it forward slowly. This thing had some power, and I didn't want to flip the boat like I did before. That was how I lost it, but Anya and I had been fine.

"What is the point of this?!" Calishora repeated.

"Just relax. There is no point in it. We are traveling to my fishing spot!" I called and sat back.

Time had stopped outside of this space I was in, so I effectively had some free time. Sure, I could leave and do the other thing, but I was already here. No point rushing considering just how I had been going nonstop for a week.

Calishora sat back and didn't speak, but I could tell that she had a lot on her mind. That was expected, considering what I was offering her. This was a chance for her to become her own individual self.

The thing was that I still planned on putting her back into a Drakar body that I was hoping to find in Area Fifty One. I was going to run some tests with her, but I wasn't going to let Sofia cut into her.

We would find another one for that that was already dead. The more we knew about the biology of these creatures, the better we could deal with them.

Rather than shooting normal bullets, we could take them out in many different gruesome fashions. Whether it be an injection from darts or gas, we could engineer viruses that would only affect them.

It's not like I wanted to inflict pain for entertainment; I wanted to make sure that I put my foot down here. I had already stepped up to both Astral Gods and asserted myself as a force to be reckoned with.

Now I needed to keep driving the point home. Leave me alone, or incur my wrath.

"What are you thinking about?" Calishora asked me. "You have a serious look on your face."

"You really don't want to know," I said as I started to slow the boat down.

"Try me," Calishora said, turning in her seat and putting her legs into the center aisle.

"I am trying to think of the most gruesome way to kill your people and the Gideons. I want to make them fear me and not want to come and mess with us," I said, and Calishora nodded.

"That is a good idea. Both of our races are very proud and unmatched by most races that we have met. You are the first person to be able to genuinely stand up to us. I think that if you start crushing them, even Tiamat is going to have a hard time trying to force more people to fight without an overwhelming force," Calishora explained.

I plan to keep bouncing around until I can find Alpha's heart. It will be near impossible to keep tabs on me," I said as I stood up and stretched.

"Do not underestimate the size of the force that both Astral Gods command. They both already have people heading to where your blackhole tunnel exits out a white hole. They will be far behind, but they will be able to track you. The only way you are ever going to be free is to get rid of the Gods," Calishora explained.

I grabbed one of my rods after getting out the red and white bobber float and pack of minnows. I unhooked the pickerel rig, untangled it, hooked three minnows, pulled a bit of line, and hooked on the bob.

"Quiet possible, but I don't know what I am going to do about that yet. I need to get a hold of the other Astral Heart. Once I have that, I feel like I will have a better idea of what I am going to be doing," I said as I gently cast out my rig.

This was a great place to fish with lots of fallen logs, but you had to be careful. When you dropped a line, there was a good chance the bitch would get stuck. I have lost my share of rigs in the past here, but I have learned over the years. This was the best place to park the boat, and there were two good places out the back of the boat to cast out to.

"Come and sit down here with this fishing pole," I said to Calishora as I stuck the rod in the holder.

There were two seats in the back that faced opposite the front ones, and that was mostly Anya, and I would sit and read while waiting for bites. We did a lot more, but that wasn't something I was going to do with Calishora.

Calishora got up, holding the top of the seat as she quickly came around. She sat down right away and began watching me get the next rod ready.

"What is the point of this?" Calishora asked.

"Does everything have to have a point? See that red and white ball in the water? Watch it. If it starts to move, then you get a bite. I will help you from there," I said and then cast out the second line off the side of the boat.

Once it settled, I stuck my rod into the holder and pulled the lunch bag over. I pulled out a beer, cracked it, and offered it to Calishora.

"What is this?"

"Horse piss in a can. Take it. It will put some hair on your chest," I said, but Calishora gave me a disgusted look that made me burst out laughing.

"I will not be drinking animal urine, nor do I want hair on my chest!" Calishora snapped, and I slapped my knee.

"Oh boy, am I going to have fun with you here!" I laughed. "It is no actual piss. Just try it, and stop asking so many damn questions that don't matter!"

"Then what kind of questions matter?"

"Now, there is one right there! Seriously though, aren't you curious why I am helping you?" I asked as Calishora took the beer from me.

She put it up to her nose and scrunched up her face.

"It does smell like piss. I am not drinking this!" Calishora declared, and I rolled my eyes, but she was no different than Anya.

"Fine!" I laughed as I took the drink from her, took a long drink, and then put the can in the holder.

I went back into the bag and grabbed the bottle opener as I pulled out a lemonade cooler. I popped the top off and handed it to Calishora, who accepted.

This time she closed her eyes and breathed in the sweet lemony scent. The Dragoness put the bottle to her lips and then downed it all in one shot, making a refreshed sound after finishing it.

"I guess you liked this one more?" I asked with a chuckle, and Calishora nodded.

"That is very good. We have a drink that is like that, but that sour taste with the sweet is very nice, but the burn was strange," Calishora said as she looked in the empty bottle. She tipped it back again, trying to get the last few drops.

"Would you like another?" I asked, and I reached into the cooler, and Calishora nodded aggressively. "Go slower with this one," I said as I offered her a sparkling grapefruit cooler.

The woman sniffed it again with eyes closed and then drained it.

"I am going to stop giving you them if you keep doing that!" I warned, not wanting to deal with a person's first time getting drunk.

I was trying to relax and fish, with a slight possibility of getting some reading in.

"What?! Why not?! They are so good! Can't you just make more?! I like them!" Calishora declared, and her galactic skin seemed to start moving. That was enough to almost give me motion sickness watching it, so I turned away.

"Fine, drink what you want from the bag, but don't complain to me when you get sick!" I warned, and Calishora stuck up her nose at me.

"I am an Astral Dragon. I will not get sick!" Calishora declared, but I shook my head, and she became a human woman with galactic hair and eyes.

"Nope, you are just a human now, so be careful how much you drink, or you will regret it," I said and reached for my book that had my phone with it.
