Welcome to my world by D.A.Sanford - HTML preview

Home, children and especially mothers

As I get ready to open the door, it flies open and my wives pour out. I am smothered in kisses and hugs. Then the atmosphere turns heavy, thick with what I know is going to happen. It is the same as always. They love me, know what a powerful wizard I am but here it comes. I mentally put a foot behind me to brace for impact.

“You do this every time. Go away for weeks and never give us a thought as to how we feel. We sit here for days on end, not to mention the nights that we are deprived of your company.” My first wife dresses me down. I have been chastised before and it always hurts me.

Atasha continues but now tears are forming on all of them. “We never know whether you are ever going to return. That world you go to will explode sometime soon. What would happen to us without you. If you don’t think of us, think of your children. There is still some countries the have slaves. Your daughters would be prime targets. We wish you would just either destroy that arch or us rather than leave us to that fate.”

Now they are all hysterical. Sobbing their eyes out. They are right. I get lost on the other world. The people, that car and the supplies that I can bring back. I forget that the time flows different there. Two days there will equal four weeks here.

It calms down, I introduce the two to my wives and have all sit down. It is time to talk seriously especially to the two.

“They are right. That world is doomed. It will not be too much longer until the missiles fly. It really could be gone as we speak. Time is different here. Your world progresses slower than here. I ask you to think about this very fact. In two weeks here, I will destroy the arch to your world. We as a family will show you around in that two weeks.” You need to seriously think about this, do you stay or return to that world. We will not influence you either way.”

Ken broaches the subject that I have avoided.

“What about our family if we want to stay. I have both my parents and a younger brother. What about them?”

Peter says that only his mother is alive and he was an only child.

My wives see that I am hesitating so Atasha, who is the leader of the wives, looks at me. I nod and she speaks. “If your families are not hostile or racist, we will welcome them but only them. Only the immediate families, not your uncles and aunts. No friends. In other words only those parents and the sibling. They would need to make that decision on the spot. Our husband will go with you both to show them his powers. Know this, we his wives want that arch destroyed. It will be destroyed in two weeks by our husband, no later. Stay or go you have two weeks here to decide.”

Peter asks if it would be okay for him to go now and fetch his mother? Ken asks the same thing. I put my foot down. I banged my staff on the floor. That causes a distortion, a ripple in the air. It brings all to attention.

“It is my decision and mine alone that in the morning, I will take them back and we will explain to the two families what has happened to these two and what will happen to the world. You two will then have to make that decision. Stay or go. On your world, I will stay for only four hours there then I will return here and destroy the arch. Remember, without me, you will only see a trunk and branches in that brush. If your parents and the boy will come, I’ll make that bush so that they don’t have to climb. Matter of fact, I like that SUV so I will make it so we just drive into the dirt bank. That should convince them that this is real.”

They agree to that but it shakes them to their core. Hearing that everything that they knew up till they advised an old man about a porta poddy instead of going In the brush, is going to be destroyed. Now that old man is an escape route for their families but only them. For the first time in their lives, they must make an irrevocable decision. Live or perish if their families choose to stay.

Ken knows that he will at the very least kidnap his younger brother and return to this realm. Peter is feeling that he would not like to leave his mother alone to face that destruction.

Those two are being shown around by the older girls. Some of the others are disinterested. Only the youngest ones are trailing them. They are just as eager to show their special spots. It is actually funny to see how the older girls are trying not to show their irritation.

The mother’s see it also and come to the rescue by announcing that fresh baked warm cookies need some little girls to eat them.

It has not gone by my attention. You see, for what ever reason, all my children are girls. Not a boy in the lot. This has always been on my mind. I was going to search the realm for suitable mates Now is the time. I pull my wives aside.

“Between us we now have twenty daughters. Since we are willing to accept their families, why don’t we ask those two about trusted friends. If we could get five more boys, that would solve the immediate problem. Otherwise we could have a time of conflict.”

My second wife, Ginger, says that those two could handle multiple wives. “I do not know about the others but hastily picks could be very bad. Survival brings out the worst in people. Ken’s brother will be able to take some of the younger.”

Atasha sums it up. “We now only need to worry sometime in the immediate future. You need to choose a better world. All bets are off if one or both stay but I don’t see that. Those older girls already are sinking their hooks into them. We may even need to set watch tonight. Not on the men but on our daughters.”

We laugh but they are true. We could accept someone that could be the ruination of this world. Like in battle, rush decisions are always sketchy at best. Usually they lead to disaster. So we now have a plan. We meet at Ken’s house and since Peter’s mother is only one house down. He will bring his mother to Ken’s house.

It is morning here. I have my special family vacation coach appear here. Including the golem driver. The three of us board and go through the arch. We are now in the SUV. Driving to Ken’s house we hear dire warnings from the radio. All indications are that war will be erupting before midnight. I’m glad we did not wait.

It is still morning here. Only a few minutes have passed here from when Peter and Ken joined me in this adventure. Peter jumps out and runs to get his mother. Meanwhile Ken lets me in but leaves the door open for Peter.

All are now present. I lay out what they already know. This world is doomed.

“Your sons have been to my realm. It is on another world. I invite you all to come with me and live.” To show them that I am real, as I layout my proposal, I started to reform from my old wizard form to a forty then thirty, then teens and then as a six year old. I finished by going back to my real age.

To say that their minds have shut down is an understatement. They have lived with the fantasy characters their sons have imitated for a long period of time. Now they are being shown that a fantasy world does exist.

I put the frosting on the cake. I had their sons show what magical abilities they had so far. Both families were told that only who is here will go. They now tell me that this is no place to be. They will go.

We all get into the SUV then we drive off. On the radio the government has declared Marshal Law. All public functions are cancelled and all need to get to shelters or in their cellars. They are giving general advice. I think that it is all futile.

As we are driving Peter spots four men that he really knows. He pleads for me to stop and get them. They are what they call nerds. All four are dressed as Japanese high school boys but each display their skill. A swordsman, a wizard, an axe man and a shield hammer. All carrying their weapons. They know what will happen so they figure that they will just go to their club room and wait for the final explosion. If only that world we dreamed about really existed, is running through each of their minds

I’m interested so we stop. The three of us jump out.

“You look like you could use an adventure to a world of magic and conquest. Want to come?”

I have the two strike poses and show some of what they can do. Then I do the change bit again. I then open the door and utter the words that they will respond to. “Real isekai, real furries!”

They did not hesitate but their brains have gone into blue screen. You know that, in a normal SUV, twelve people would be crowded. Inside mine is where the magic is exhibited. Outside a normal SUV, inside a palatial mansion. All they could say is that it is bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside. The four just stare at what is going on in that SUV.

The mothers are off exploring the mansion. Ken’s father has found the premium sipping whiskey. Ken’s younger brother has the game setup going. There is no sense of motion. The four are just standing there. Just as suddenly they are quivering and burst out into cheers.

They are now realizing all their fantasies are coming true. Furries! When they finally calm down, somewhat, I tell them that this world will not be here much longer. “I don’t think that even dusk is pushing it. When we get to my realm, I will destroy the means that connects the two together. We are almost at the spot. One final call. This is one way. You will never be able to return here.”

None speak but now the SUV is back to the carriage and the door opens. We are realm side of the arch. We will walk the final bit but now the carriage disappears and I point at the arch. It just crumbles. The pile of remnants just get absorbed into the soil. You would never tell that anything but grass was ever there.

Now back at the mansion. Atasha is crossed armed and tapping her toes while the other wives and all my daughters are now in overload. So are the nerds.

“I thought that we had a plan? No, you could not help but pick up strays.”

I said nothing but hugged her. “Did you at least destroy that arch?” I tell her that it is done. “Please this next time you need to go, pick a world that is on our time and peaceful. Now everyone come in. daughters please, do not molest those men. I mean it.”

They all look mad but also they need to obey mother Atasha. She is almost as talented as their father. All the mothers have that crossed arm stare that even their father will back down.

Atasha is the one to start. “We have told your sons about this world but I will just go over some of the highlights. The biggest thing is that we respect each other and each other’s privacy. Daughters, you now have two more mothers.”

She asks each mother to introduce themselves. Peter’s mother is Mary. Ken’s parents are George and Joyce. His younger brother is Chris.

The four nerds are now shaking and bowing as they introduce themselves but first Tasha, my fifth wife confiscated all their armament and puts it in the armory. “You four need to relax. I took those weapons because you were going to hurt someone the way you are acting. We are only people. You are in another world, calm down.”

Thomas seems to be the leader of the four. He tells us that never in their lives did they expect to be here. “This has always been an unattainable dream for us. All the role playing, All the ridicule that we took. My friends are only these three. I’m Thomas and my friends are Charles, Steven and Robert. I need to remember to breathe. We are actually here. I want to go outside and shout.”

Judith, fourth wife, turns into a bear and takes them outside. We hear her roar. A sound that would scare almost anything but we hear the four just screaming various things but all boiling down to “You ridiculed us, picked on us, scorned us yet here we are in our delusional world and you are most likely dead.”

The four come back and Judith tells us that they feel more relaxed. “Now we need to get them some durable clothes. Same with you two. Those silky costumes are too delicate for actual fighting.” She and Katrina, third wife, take the seven into the wardrobe room.

Soon all come out with more practical dress. Pants shirts and vests in complementary colors. By the look of my two wives, those are not the same colors the gentlemen picked out. Katrina said it all. “The colors they picked out said please kill me.”

Both of Peter’s and Ken’s mothers just remarked that those costumes they wore said the same but Mary added that they were screaming “Put us out of your misery.” All the mothers in the room chuckled but our daughters told us that they thought their dress made them very attractive.

Atasha told her daughter who is like the leader of the daughters, “If a man wore a fig leaf, you would find that attractive” but as she was saying that, both being rabbit folk, Atasha is looking at me with those eyes.

“A fig leaf is out of the question. They are like a combination of sandpaper and small spikes. Cut outs from fabric will be entertained.” I tell her.

I do notice the looks from the newbies. “Come on folks. You see twenty daughters here. In this house, sex is known not hidden. Hidden things will come around and bite you in the ass. These daughters know about it but have not had males here. We have, however, instructed them that only after they are officially mated will sex be allowed.”

As I said that, I was staring as those seven males. “Only after they are mates!” I repeated and the ripple in the air was back. My daughters were giggling. I know it will not be too long before they double team each male and come asking us.

I do see Atasha eyeing Mary.

We have a good meal and then it was time to rest. Our new residents were shown the facilities. Without mine knowing it, there is now two separate bathing areas separated by barriers of my design. I do not tell them because it needs to be a surprise. One room for men and the other for the women. That is now extremely large.

I have not gone in yet but the seven young men have. I laugh as I hear more than one daughter scream from a nonlethal shock. Then, “Daddy how could you!”

Yelling up the hall, “I did say only after the official mating. Then I may make a few detached homes. Sound proof of course.” I can hear downright laughter coming from all the mothers. Joyce just yells to those daughters, “You need to come in here. Your mothers now have the look. If you don’t come in they will come out naked and blind any man who opens their eyes.”

I tell George that we need to sit outside and wink at the stars. “You will find that they wink back after a few glasses of that sipping whiskey.”

Then we hear Judith yell, “Get drunk and I’ll go grizzly.”

“I guess that will be lemonade.”
