No sooner did we make it through the Portal than it collapsed. Well, the dungeon was already collapsing, and the only thing that was keeping it standing was my own blessing. The second I left, it must have popped like a bubble. To think, an entire world was gone just like that. It left me feeling complicated, and perhaps even more confused about the nature of dungeons and worlds than ever before.
Taking a deep breath, I surveyed the world around me. It was then that I froze, my eyes nearly popping out of my head. I would have sworn I was dreaming, but Carmine was standing beside me in her armor, and Garnet and Bernice were looking around in wide-eyed wonder.
What is this place? Bernice sputtered.
Master? I think you took us to the wrong world, Carmine said.
I did. I responded with a dry throat.
Wow what kind of people live here? Theyre able to build things so tall! Garnet cried out excitedly.
Beep Beep! The group of us were standing in the middle of a street, and a car pulled up and honked its horn as Garnet was staring up. She jumped at the beep, but as she moved out of the way of the vehicle, she looked it up and down excitedly.
Did you see that? Its a machine! Theres a man inside controlling it! Its like the machines the Deep Dwarves used to make.
I imagine. I responded bitterly.
It wasnt a busy street, but we were drawing eyes. I brought everyone to the side. However, they saw a television. All three girls stared in awe at the strange device. It was, ironically, showing a fantasy movie containing a knight fighting a dragon.
Master Im confused. Where is this place? I thought you were going to take us home. Carmine asked.
I did. I responded weakly. I just didnt concentrate enough on which home.
As I spoke, I sat down on a bench on the side of the road.
Which home? Carmine blinked.
I made it. Like that, huh? I was speaking to myself now. I felt tears welling in my eyes, but the feelings inside me werent pure happiness. I felt extremely complicated emotions at that moment.
What are you saying, Master?
Its home. I said. Its my world. Were on Earth.
This is where Master came from? Carmines eyes brightened slightly.
Yeah this is where I came from. I mean not this city. I dont know where we are however, its Earth alright.
But this is good, right? Carmine gave me a concerned look.
I looked up at her and forced a smile on my face. Yeah it is.
Well, it isnt for me! I want to return to Aberis! Bernice snapped angrily.
Let me try again, I responded, standing up and starting the spell again.
{Interdimensional travel can only be used once per week.}
Were going to have to wait a week. I shrugged.
Y-you! Bernice pouted.
Its fine. We can spend a week in Masters world. And from now on, you can live in both worlds, right? Garnet responded encouragingly.
Yeah we can.
I managed to find a pawn shop, and given how many treasures we had, it wasnt difficult to get a thousand or so. I also figured out where we were. Id need to order plane tickets to get home. I had considered opening up my Map. To my surprise, the city was being mapped out in front of me. I then borrowed a US map, but like the other world, without in-depth detail of having been there, it doesnt work. I had even thought google maps with satellite pictures might be enough, but I still wasnt able to Portal home.
Thus, we got a hotel for the night, with a flight the next day. I had considered picking up the phone and calling, but every time I picked it up, I found myself unable to dial. What would I say? I was sitting in my hotel room, separated from the girls, as insisted by Bernice. One would think it was the battle for my life, the Demon King, and the dungeon collapsing that exhausted me, but the few hours since I had been back in this world was considerably more tiring than all of that combined.
There was a light tap on my door. Come in.
The door opened and in stepped Carmine. She was wearing a sexy nightgown, which immediately caught my eyes. I had bought all of the girls extra clothing to wear for the week we were here. I couldnt have them walking around in armor and cloaks. As for this piece, I didnt remember getting it for her, but I had given them all some spending money. It wasnt surprising that Carmine spent hers as soon as she got it, but this seemed like more of a gift for me.
Carmine?
Master She responded, blushing.
What are you doing?
Master I know you dont like to go to bed alone. Perhaps I could keep you company.
This is because of the princess?
She shook her head. No I mean, it is, but not in the way you think.
I raised an eyebrow.
She bit her lip, the usually cool and confident Paladin suddenly looking uncertain. I thought Id be alone. When my village was destroyed, and I lost my sister I always saw my life as a lonely one. I suppose thats why I always filled my life with stuff because stuff could be replaced. Stuff could never leave you.
Carmine She raised her hand, stopping me.
When I was taken, I was lost for so long. But then Master appeared. You found me and pulled me from that fog. I realized that no matter what happens, you will always be my shining light. In the past, I always knew I owed you. I loved you as my Master and would do anything for you. I have done many things for you. She blushed. B-but now I dont want to continue as just a slave who wants to please her Master rather I mean I want you as a woman.
I sat up, grabbed her, and kissed her. She didnt need to say anymore. Gently picking her up, I lay her down in my bed. She looked so beautiful in that nightgown, regrettably, she didnt wear it for long.
