Chapter 8

We begin our meeting with Jane and Jasper and Gray was sitting in on this meeting. Jane didn't look like she wanted to be responsible for destroying a star system, but it couldn't be helped.

"Do we really need to destroy the system? With the relay I mean." Jane asked us and cringed.

"Well, if we don't takeout the relay the reapers will flood out thru the galaxy faster than without the relay. If we can take some of them down here it will be less, we have to deal with later." Jasper pointed out to Jane

"Yes, but can't you like shrink it and just take it with us?" Jane asked getting worked up.

"Sure, we can shrink it and take it with us, but it won't help us in taking some of their numbers down." I say to them

"But we could step out of time and deal some major damage to them without destroying the star system." Bella points out and we all have an AHA moment I fight the urge to facepalm.

"Yes, we could definitely do that my dear Bella. Let's use every available ship we have close by. How many do we have in dock?"

"We have all 24 alphas and about that many aurora class ships. The rest are out on patrol and guarding the new space station." Jasper said.

"So, this would be another one of your epic surprise parties?" Gray said grinning

"Yes, I would classify this as a surprise party, and should we try to take out all that enter here? Or shall we save some for the fleet to take out? We could call the fleet here we still have two days till they arrive." I say grinning everyone had a thoughtful expression.

"I think we should do that! Can we shrink the relay after the fleet arrives?" Jane asked

"Yes, call them Joker tell them to send all available ships and recall most of our fleet also." I tell Joker because I know he is listening

"Yes sir, right away Alex."

"I just had a thought. We can stretch out our shields to encompass the fleet and take them a step out of time with us so they will be able to take their shots at them. We will have to make sure they move with our ships as we move, or they could be dropped back into time." I say to them.

"Good point Alex, Joker what is the ETA for the fleets?" Jasper asked

"They will be here in twelve hours Jasper; our ships will be here in a couple hours." Joker replied

"Now we need to get all our ships out of dock and prepare to form ranks to extend shields to the fleet. Jasper how much should we spread out the fleets?" I ask Jasper

"I think we should have at least four squadrons we will need to wait to see what direction they come from. I think we should cloak them all before we step out of time so they hopefully bunch together. That way it will be like shooting fish in a barrel." Jasper said looking thoughtful.

We wait for the fleets and they didn't hold back very many ships, we did move our ships out to extend our shields for the fleet. Hackett and admiral Victus agreed to our plan and was worried about what numbers we would be facing. We experiment with our plan and prove we could do what we claimed but they all must move as one unit. We practice the maneuvers several times before we get word they are on their way into the system.

We let Hackett and Victus take control of their own squadrons, we decided to leave the relay so that the reapers would go straight to the relay. We wait until they get close and we step out of time and take out about sixty. Once we have them all taken out, we beam the remains to the star, then we move back into positions and step back into time. The reapers come into the system and hesitate, they are trying to figure out why so many disappeared.

They finally decide to move swiftly toward the relay, and we repeat our previous attack. We again take out another sixty to seventy then beam the remains to the star. Once we are back in position we step back into time and watch them come to a complete stop. Instead of waiting we advance and begin firing then step out of time and take as many as we could see out. Once we have taken all out and can't find any more on sensors, we begin beaming the remains to the star.

Once all is cleaned up, we step back into time and wait to see if anymore were hanging back. We wait for several hours until the admirals want to meet, and we beam them aboard. They all are impressed with the way we could step out of time and finish the reapers off without them firing a shot towards us.

"Yes, Bella suggested it and we could have facepalmed for not thinking of it. But I won't say we are out of the woods yet gentlemen there could be another group coming in from another sector." I say making Bella blush and they smile at her.

"If we are lucky then this would be all of them, but I agree to keep all our fleets on high alert for the foreseeable future." Hackett said tense

"I agree with the admiral the turian fleet will also remain on alert for some time." Admiral Victus said

"Well, like they have said before its better to throw an epic surprise party and end a war that has gone on for centuries. Well, in this case it would be millions of years." Gray tried to look on the bright side of things.

We unloaded the Batarian's back on their world and we left to take care of some things. We did rescue Grunt and Tank and we are taking them to perform the rite. We had rescued Kasumi and KG from Hock and we looted him to the concrete, literally! While we were on Tachunka we removed the bomb that the turian's had placed there long ago. We also checked on the newly built cities and school for the children. The treatment is working like we had hoped, and no children have died. But they aren't reproducing at an alarming rate, just up to two births a year per female Krogan.

Wrex is happy to see us and welcomes our adopted sons to perform the rite of passage. They pick Jasper, Gray, Jane, and I as their krant. It was rather fun the thresher maw was difficult, but we managed to kill it! We then plan to place our ships around Earth and Palaven for the next year and scattered around other high populated worlds. It was a good thing we were watching for more reapers. For not even six months after we took out the group at the alpha relay; more showed up at Earth and Palaven. Luckily, we were talking to the admirals because they had issues with where we had easily taken out what reapers we did.

They were a bunch of wind bags and just wanted to get their hands on our tech, but we weren't giving any away. The ones on board the ships were able to put up the defense grid before they could enter the atmosphere. All ships open fired on the reapers and Hackett was leading the fleet against this wave. We beam back up to our ship and oversee the battle we begin stepping out of time and taking out reapers. We manage to save several ships from the fleet, only two did we have to beam the crew aboard to save them from being killed.

Once we had all reapers taken out in the area, we beam the remains to the star, except for the element zero. We discovered they carry a massive amount when we took out the ones at the alpha relay. Once we have all cleared up, we wait for another wave and check on the other planets.

"How are our other fleets doing?" I ask

"You were right to watch these two planets for they seem to have only attacked here and Palaven." Jasper said as he was going over sensor logs.

"So, they didn't go after the Asari? Then they followed what they did in the game then. Now we need to find the command node in dark space, have everyone transported off the citadel then destroy the command node. Are we finished with the replacement space station?" I ask them

"Yes, we finished it just recently. Are we going to beam them off the citadel onto the new station? Or are we going to let them organize the move?" Bella asked us

"I say we give them the heads up and then remove who hasn't left when we find the command node." Jasper said smirking

"I can see that not going over very well." I say smirking

"Why because we will be saying to move or your going to die? Or they will probably tell us we are crazy that the reapers are gone, and it probably won't affect them." Jane said shaking her head

We decide to inform the council and they didn't want to believe us at first but thought they better evacuate just to be on the safe side. It takes us three weeks to locate the command node and that is how long it takes them to evacuate the citadel. There were some hold outs that we had to beam them to the new station. When the all clear was sent we destroyed the node and there was a backlash and it destroyed the citadel.

After we sweep the area and recycle what was left over, we moved the new space station to the same area the citadel was located. It took everyone several months to get used to the new station. There might have been a few grumblings about having to move. The geth and Quarrians were getting along great after they realized they weren't going to attack them in their sleep.

We spent time exploring Pegasus and Ida galaxies to see if there was any intelligent life. We did find what the Asgard evolved to without our race to guide them. They never tried the cloning and eventually took to a life of meditation and peace when they accepted that they didn't live very long. We didn't let them know of our presence we just observed them and moved on.

Hackett, Anderson, Septimus, Victus and a few other higher-ranking officers wanted to join us when we got back from exploring. So, we accepted them and began their training, for we could use their experience in our ship crews. There was an unintended side effect to the food shot, we had some turian and human mating and produced offspring. We ran tests and found them to be healthy little ones, we figured that we should warn the rest of the population about the side effects.

The resulting opinion afterwards was funny, they were like it's not possible, but we found out there were in fact more births between turian and humans. Garrus and Shepard had been sneaking around until she became pregnant. We said no need to sneak around so they now show each other affection while we are around. There were also human and Quarrian births and quarrian and turian births. They were so adorable or that is what my Bella said so I guess they were cute. I have yet to see them myself, but if my sweet Bella says they are adorable then they must be.

BELLA'S POV

This realm has been fun and stressful most of the time. We are lucky to recruit people like Hackett, Anderson, and Victus to name a few. They will help lighten the load on Alex and Jasper. They have worked long hours keeping reports up to date and sending out orders. They are suggesting taking several weeks off soon, after we have picked up all our tech and all ships are docked for the next realm jump.

We should be getting close to our next heat cycle, or those of us that have been traveling in the stargate realm since we were there for over thirty years. Dad and Sue and the others will still have a good forty years yet. I asked Alex if we could possibly have another mate in a different realm. He wasn't to sure but said it was possible but he wasn't looking for one, he has all he needs right now. Did I mention he is the sweetest man I have ever met? No? Well let me just say that he is. He did say if we did find an additional mate, we would worry about it then.

We still need to figure out what to do with the Rachni queen. I have visited her several times; it still amazes me how she communicates. She has already laid a clutch of eggs and has many workers running about. The warriors and drones are the larger of her species, and she will be laying a queen egg in the next clutch. From what we can put together the queens can live several hundred years. But the workers last maybe ten to twenty years, the warriors and drones live up to thirty years. Unless they die defending the nest, so the queen lays eggs about every five to six years to keep up on the worker population.

All our scientists have gone crazy investigating all these new races, then Alex throws them into a frenzy with the realization that the levo dextro food shot has altered everyone. That was a real eye opener! But I have to say that the mixed-race babies are so cute! I almost said I wanted one or three. But I didn't think Alex would like that very well. Then again, he would probably love to have a couple the way I catch him looking at Tali. I am not jealous I actually have found myself checking her out at times. What can I say she is sweet and beautiful! Now if Prince Legolas was to turn out to be a mate then yes, I might just ask Alex to share, maybe.

But this realm has been interesting with all the different aliens and all the time spent in space on our ships we are missing fresh air and the sun! I hope we get a realm that we can stretch our magic muscles soon, preferably on a planet with fresh air and lots of sun! though I will have to say the kids and our husbands have loved the high-tech side of this trip.

Us wives have enjoyed it to, well we enjoy meeting all the new family members. Joker is a real smart ass but the rest are just what we need for the military part of ship operations. With all the extras we brought on board in this realm we took in right at one hundred twenty thousand. So, we have enough to crew all of our ships and have ground teams. But we had to stress to everyone that we will be watching more than fighting, and many could see where that would be needed.

I think I will go find Alex and drag him to our room, yeah that sounds like a really great idea! I am feeling frisky!

JASPER'S POV

This realm has been fun with all the space fighting! Now that we have the bad guys taken care of everyone is looking forward to fun in the sun. And I have heard several wishes for the next realm to be more magic fights and on a planet with fresh air and sun. I couldn't blame them one bit, I am looking forward to the same thing also. Uh oh here comes Bella and she is throwing out a ton of lust for Alex. We should be hitting our heat cycle soon come to think of it. It didn't take much to convince Alex to go back to their room for some lovin. Hmm I think I will go find my mate and have me some lovin it has been a few hours since we had sex. I didn't have to look far she is spread out on the bed waiting for me! What a woman! I am so damn lucky I think I am done for the day so this will last until I wear her ass out.

I can't wait to see what we do next, but I will wait till later to find out.

ALEX'S POV

After our few days off of just making love to my Bella. We made sure to have everything recalled and stowed away for our next realm travel. The newest people to join our family had as much training that we could squeeze in before we docked the ships. The word from them is they are beyond happy to have joined us for a new way of life. The turian's love all the extra training, everyone else haven't said anything against it but it's more than most are used to.

We decide not to go back home and just move forward on this trip; Charlie has enjoyed his time here with us. He likes having a whole planet as his fishing hole, plus Jack and little Charlie join him most of the time. We always try to set aside the weekends for guy day, though there aren't any sports we can watch. I take that back we downloaded the last two hundred years of sports from earth. Everyone was interested in what direction they would evolve over time.

We all gather on the command deck. By all I mean the counsel, the squadron commanders, and us. Meaning Jasper, Bella, most of our kids Jane, Joker, Hackett, Anderson, Victus, and I and a few others thrown in that make up our circle of command crew. We shrink our ship and activate the realm drive and pass thru the portal, now to investigate on where we are at and what kind of fun we will get to have!

We run scans to see where we are in known space, we find we are several light years away from earth. Now we will get detailed scans and listen in to the goings on to maybe tell what realm this is. Nothing stands out right away and we wait for several days just watching and listening. There is the Alpha gate at the south pole, but the survivor isn't there, the outpost is intact but out of power. So, we send a team down to investigate and power up the outpost to try to find something out on what happened.

We didn't find anything out that would help piece this mystery together. We then send out ten scouting parties to the known worlds that would have intelligent life. Also, while they are out, they are to scan for any traces of our tech and stargate system. They are planning to be out for three weeks, so we are just going to take a break. I know how fair is that for the scouting teams? They are fine with it this gives them seat time on the ships.

While we have down time, we are getting some fishing in, and the kids are enjoying rough housing with Jasper and some of the furling. Bella and I are usually out enjoying the beach if the kids aren't tormenting us. We have a very restful three weeks now we get to go over what the scouting parties have discovered.

"I have to say it's weird traveling through space in this time and realm and not see anything that we are used to." Anderson said starting off the meeting, he led one of the teams.

"I have to agree with you on that, it was a bit unnerving to see Palaven and no trace of our race anywhere. But there is life there its just not our race living there." Victus said shocked at the realization that we are in a different realm now.

"So, did anyone find anything that remains of our tech? because we have been checking out every possibility here. What we have come up with are varying discrepancies in our history." Bella said catching several humans off guard.

"You mean this is just another plain earth with slight outcomes from your own realm? I wonder how much else is different?" Gray asked.

"We didn't find anything worth mentioning on any of the scouting teams? I wonder if we should take a trip to Pegasus to see how things are there?" I ask everyone.

"I think it would be a good idea since there are signs that our ancestors were here for a very short time. And with where the outpost was completely out of power and was not updated, they might not have returned like they did in your realm." Hackett said looking over the scout logs.

"I agree let's keep six ships out as an escort, I know we can take anything on but still better safe than sorry." Anderson suggested

"Okay, we will leave once all other alphas are docked then we will head to Pegasus then maybe go to Ida galaxy afterwards to check on the Asgard." I tell them and I get a nod and we break from the meeting.

I went to my office and was going over the results of the scout mission reports. It was almost like our own realm only with a little less tech left behind. There wasn't even thirty stargates left behind. Bella and Jasper came in and was going over the reports with me when they informed me they were ready to get underway. We head to the command deck and give the order to take us to Pegasus at best speed. Joker was only too happy to comply with that order.

We are checking scans while we are waiting, there really wasn't that many inhabited worlds here. And what is here is just about the same level as earth except for maybe two races. No sign of the evil little snakes that's a good sign at least. When we get to Pegasus we are met with many advanced worlds, and all are our race with a few exceptions. What is odd is they are more militarized than what we would have guessed, so we are now wondering if contact is a wise idea.

We decide to leave before they can detect us, if they haven't already that is. And they have and are asking us to drop our cloak. So, we do, and they are shocked by the size of our ships, theirs are small and fast. Unlike the city ships that they still use, and we have detected at least two per habitable world. The meeting was short they told us to leave and not come back, even though we are descended from their race in another realm. They did want our story though, so the high counselor came aboard and met with our counsel. He was amazed by the story of how we were able to bring Atlantis back from almost a watery grave. They hadn't advanced all that much further than us, and they had to change to fight the Ori. They didn't detect us it was an ascended that let them know we were watching.

So, we informed them on what was going on in the other galaxy now. He wasn't interested in them right now to primitive to bother watching. He was curious as to why in our realm they let things get so far out of hand. We had no answers for him, and he just shrugged it off and said they were happy to hear that we managed to pull so many survivors back with us. After he left with his security detail, we left we didn't even bother with the cloaks and we docked the six alphas to make it look less menacing.

When we finally got back to earth, we decided to go to the next realm since there was not anything to do here. We shrink and open the next portal and enter hoping for something a little more interesting on this one. When we get thru the portal we begin scanning again and discover we are in a totally different universe. I guess you could say realm but that would be silly because we already know that. But everything is completely wrong, as in everything isn't where it should be.

"Well, this is new. Anyone have a clue to what realm this is?" Jasper asked the room.

"We are still running scans on near by systems for habitable worlds." One of Jaspers kids answered right away.

"We are detecting a type of magical energy readings coming from an earth type planet in the next system over." I think that is one of our vampires kids? Yes, I would say his father is Marcus.

"Let's go take a closer look Joker." I give the order to move closer to better investigate this new planet.

"Yes sir! We will be there in three minutes Alex. Does this mean we might get to see the elves? Or would this be the dragon age realm?"

"We won't know till we arrive Joker. If you would recall both realms have elves in them? So, if we get involved, we could meet some either way." He just nods and brings us to a complete stop.

"I would say this is the Lord of the rings universe guys! The land mass that hasn't been scarred badly and has the highest concentration of humans. Oh, and these here must be the elves signature. They are emitting a type of magic but different to ours. But the strange thing is the whole planet seems to be emitting its own magic. So, our magic might be a little overpowered by the wild magic here, if we go down?" one of my own said getting excited.

Everyone is quietly going over the scan data for about fifteen minutes before anyone asks, if we are going down to check out the planet? That was the catalyst to get everyone talking at the same time. I just sit back and let them all get it all out of their systems before we address the question. It takes four minutes for everyone to notice Jasper, Bella, and I just sitting back with a grin plastered to our faces.

"Okay, now that you all have got that out of your systems lets have the council decide on the issue of going down there and getting involved. I am not saying I don't want to go kill some orcs. But we will have to use swords, bows, and magic to fight. That is if we want to try to stay inconspicuous. But have your big guns ready for if you get into a tight spot with ogres or overwhelming numbers." I tell them in a calm voice when I am wanting to jump around like a kid on Christmas. Jasper raises an eyebrow and elbows me then smirks, that's when I notice his knee is jumping like crazy. I can't help but grin back and chuckle.

"But we are here we get to meet the immortal elves! So, what if we must help kill some gross orcs and ogres! This is so cool it beats any space fighting; plus, did I mention the beautiful elves?" the kids were all bouncing around trying to stay calm. I can't help it I chuckle at them.

The council decides we can't all go, that would overwhelm the native people to this world. That was fine not everyone was interested in swinging a sword or firing a bow. But there are several that want to try out their magic muscle. I suggested if that was the case, they had to be able to defend themselves with a sword because you couldn't rely on magic alone. Now we must figure out where we are in the time line. If the ring has been found yet or not? If so, how soon till they try to cross the country to drop it into the volcano of doom? The only way to know is to send a team down and to get the feel for their language. We may have to work with translators until we can pick up their dialogue.

We decide on several groups and Jasper, Bella, and I with our cloaked body guards will go to Rivendell. Bella is bouncing around excited to meet the elves; I can't complain any. I want to meet them and see if the architecture is like it was in the movies or if it is even better. I will be using my dads' powers more here, I think. I can transform us into elves as to keep the distrust down a bit. Yes, my foresight shows me using it to do just that and our kids do find mates in among the single elves. The sad part is not all will be coming with us to the next realm. Oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

"Bella? You need to know that some of our kids will not come back after they meet their mates in the single elves. And its not just our kids but all our kids from the first heat cycle."

"Oh, well that will be hard. What else do you see in our future here my sweet mate?" she sat down hard on hearing and realizing we could lose several of our kids to mating.

"Well, a few of our kids mate with Jasper and Monica's kids. That is probably why they have always got along so well together."

"How many will we keep together with Jasper and Monica?"

"Three boys and both of our girls will mate with Jaspers kids; we lose one to mating with an elf. But the other two manage to talk their mates into coming with us. The same will happen to Jasper they lose one to an elf mating, but we can always come back and check on them."

"What about everyone else's kids? Do they lose any to the mating?"

"The ones who were with us for thirty years in the Stargate realm will lose at least one each. And possibly those that are younger if I change us into elves, see it takes them one hundred years to mature into about an eighteen-year-old elflings. So, they will be all over our kids because they will not be full grown yet. Well except those that came with us the whole time since we began."

"That is so weird! You mean you will physically alter us to an elf? Your dad has an amazing amount of power, well I suppose you do as well my sexy mate! Hey! I do get me a sexy elf mate after all!" she giggles and rips our clothes off for several hours of making love.

We have a meeting with everyone that is going down and inform them about changing them into an elf if they are going to one of the three kingdoms. I also informed them of our children possibly mating with an elf and staying behind with said mate. Jasper gave me a look that said we will be talking about this later. The news was not what they had expected to hear, several started to say their kids couldn't go. But was shot down when they were asked if they would like to be kept from meeting their mate?

When the meeting was over Jasper cornered me and Bella. He wanted to know what I was holding back.

"We lose only one to staying behind the rest will either mate with your kids or find an elf mate and convince them to come with us. Five of my kids mate with five of yours Jasper. Three boys and my two girls, so you might not lose one to an elf." He grinned and patted me on the back

"Well, we always wondered why our kids got along better than with anyone else. I guess this makes us a real family now, so how long before we know about who is mated to who?"

"It will be a matter of days after I change everyone into an elf, something sets them off so we will just have to sit back and watch them pair up. It was getting close to time to them looking for their mates anyway. You do realize this means our heat cycles will be coming soon?"

"Yeah? We had been wondering how much longer. So, you can really turn us into an actual elf? No side effects or anything?" Jasper was a little worried now.

"Well, not that I can see. Other than the native elves will go bat shit crazy over our little elflings when they see them." I say holding back a grin I must have failed because he punched my arm and walked away.

Only a couple of us went into the um… city? So, I could get a feel for their language and what they look like. I was floored with how downright gorgeous these people are, and graceful they are stunning and perfect. I get what I need, and I snap my fingers and change us all into elves. Once they were aware of the fact, they came in and we looked each other over. I also managed to make it to where we speak elvish fluently along with westron or what ever they call English. It amazed me that the humans speak English here. That was when several elves spotted us and noticed we had a few younglings with us. And I am sure they knew we were strangers and not from here since their community is so small.

Bella had latched onto my arm claiming me right off the bat. Jasper did the same with Monica we just smile and walk further into the city. City? No, the movies did not do this place justice, it is so beautiful here!

"I could live here for several decades and never get tired of this beautiful place." I say with awe and everyone just nods with their mouth hanging open. That we don't notice a group of guards and Lord Elrond coming and circling us.

"Greetings, I am Lord Elrond who might you strangers be? I notice you have many elflings with you. How is this possible there hasn't been any known births for a thousand years." Now they were standing there with their mouths hanging open.

"Greetings, I am Alex and we are visitors here from a distant land. We just arrived and would like to get to know your people Lord Elrond." I spoke in perfect elvish, which didn't seem to faze him at all.

"Well then, I look forward to hearing your tale Alex, would you accompany me to my study?" I nod and drag Bella along with me Jasper and Monica follow behind us.

Well the walk doesn't take long enough to see more of this wonderful city, so before we know it, we walk into his study and there is an old looking man with a long grey beard and smoking a pipe. I know its Gandalf right off the bat, so I greet him, and he is shocked that I know him, but he can't recall ever meeting me. He was so shocked he got choked on his pipe, Lord Elrond was smirking at the old wizard.

Right off Lord Elrond wants to know where we come from. For he has never seen a diverse group like ours. Or with elflings they had not heard about because they would have celebrated each birth. We begin our story and they can't believe cities that fly much less among the stars. When I get to the part where I turned us all into elves, they were staring at me shocked beyond belief.

So, I begin to ask what the date is and that didn't help me any, so I asked if Smaug had been killed yet? When Gandalf nodded, I asked how long ago was this? So, the fellowship of the ring is about to take place within the next few years. I then tell them of my knowledge of their history to what is about to happen to the one ring. Gandalf choked on his pipe again when I said it was found then stolen and he knows who I am referring too. They both share a look of terror when they realize the one ring is gaining in power and soon will try to go back to its master.

At one point they asked if I was a god or above Gandalf in the scheme of things with my knowledge and power to turn humans into elves. We all laugh, and we shake our head no. I can tell they are a little fearful and unnerved by us, well more so me than anyone else. I then throw out the shocker that several of our group will find their mate or their one among the elves. They were staring again, Lord Elrond then asked if I had the gift of foresight? I answered with a yes and nod, he is quiet for a little bit and wanted to know if I would be willing to meet with Lady Galadriel? I said sure I would love to meet her. Well come to find out she was going to be there within the next week.

Lord Elrond then offered us rooms, but he wouldn't have room for everyone in our group. We just grin and say we can have more than two to a room and unshrink a trunk and offer them a tour. Again, they are amazed that such magic is possible, I just say this is small to our star in a pocket universe. I think Gandalf about passed out with that statement because he stumbled slightly. I promised I would take them to our world when they were ready. We got a good use of our trunk mansions that night and probably the entire time we will be here.

The following week we met with Lord Elrond and Gandalf everyday just talking about our realm of earth. Or showing off our magic abilities and everyone was having fun, Lord Elrond and Gandalf even started to relax around us more. The day Lady Galadriel arrived we were given fancy clothes to wear since our human like apparel stood out too much. The clothes were so light and airy I had to keep checking to make sure I was wearing anything! Bella loved them she wanted a whole wardrobe full of clothes. I just said we could just make our own with a similar material, so she squealed and said yes! Lord Elrond just smiled at her and asked Arwen to take her and get her some more dresses.

When we met Lady Galadriel and we retold our story she was just as shocked as the other two were. Especially since we look like we just came into adulthood and already have eight kids. One of which had found his mate and already asked to stay behind when we leave. Bella was heartbroken but she was expecting this. So, it was a surprise to Lord Elrond when he asked to live among them when we leave.

Lady Galadriel was finally able to form words and then asked to read my mind to see if I was telling the truth. Because we not only look like an elf, we become one but still retain all our powers. So, we have the grace and beauty of the elves and everything that goes with it. That was what she was having a hard time believing, she read my mind and saw I was in fact telling her the truth. I then tell her about a spell we can perform to ensure birth while she was reading me, and she gasped. They thought I was lying because she gasped until they seen the tears well up in her eyes.

From that point on we always had couples coming up to us to perform the spell. Lady Galadriel, Lord Elrond and Gandalf were always with us from then on even when we were training in sword play or archery. It has been an exciting visit, but Lady Galadriel must return to her kingdom soon. She asked if any would be returning with her to see if they would have a mate? We said yes if that was okay with them, and we want to send a lot more with her to experience their way of life. She was momentarily stunned but agreed to our request happily.

Its been several weeks and we have become close to the elves and when the Lady said it was time to go home? Bella teared up and hugged the stuffing out of Lady Galadriel. That was when she offered for us to visit her at anytime and Bella said yes! we will! with a watery giggle. We watch as the very large group left Rivendell, we would visit soon but we must discuss how soon to destroy the one ring before it becomes an issue. Lady Galadriel said what ever we decide to do was fine with her, she trusts Lord Elrond and Gandalf to do so wisely.

We then discover it's the better part of two weeks of horse back riding to get to the Shire. We mention we can get there instantaneous with our method of travel. Gandalf wanted to witness this type of travel first hand, and wanted to know if it was possible for him to learn how to do it himself. We just shrug and say it's possible with practice, but he might find it tiring to travel very far. So, we teleport to Bilbo Baggins earth home, and I must say they came close to what it was like in the movies.

Gandalf convinces Bilbo to hand the ring over to Frodo because the ring has been with him to long and has him under its spell. Frodo will not have any issue dropping the ring in the volcano. I teleport Gandalf, Frodo, Jasper, and myself to mount doom right at the opening and we run in and Frodo drops the ring and we teleport back out as the volcano begins to erupt. We drop Frodo back off at the shire to pick up some clothes and his friend Sam to visit Rivendell. The two hobbits were in awe when one second, they were in the shire then they were in Rivendell.

Then the offer to help get rid of the orcs or at least to thin them out was agreed to. We decided to go about this high tech and beam them directly to the star. Then go in and clean up any stragglers and to check if they have any allies we need to go after. It takes us a week to clean up the orcs, goblins, and ogres after we got their signatures recorded. But we didn't beam them straight to their death. We beam them to an area that we could double check them before we send them to their doom. Several elves and our people wanted to fight them before we dispose of them. So, we had quite the fight every couple of days with orcs and goblins. I have to say these things are quite vile and GROSS!

We spend the next couple of years just visiting after we have the mess cleaned up. Arwen asked if I would turn her love Aragorn to an elf so she would not lose him to death, and she would not fade away. I got the okay from Aragorn to do this and he braced for a painful transformation. I just chuckle and snap my fingers and he is now an elf, he checked himself over the last thing he checked was his ears. Lord Elrond was pleased he would not lose either of them soon. But they will be sailing across the sea in a few years because the time of the elves is coming to a close. At least they will leave the world a little better shape for the race of men.

The entire time we were visiting many came down from the ship to see for themselves the beauty of this world. They wanted to try and replicate the elven architecture on our world. So, they asked several craftsmen to come and help. They were shocked at what power we had that we could capture a star and keep our own world healthy. Lord Elrond, Lady Galadriel, Lord Celeborn, Gandalf, and Prince Legolas came to see what wonders we can produce. We even landed Atlantis to show them we could make our cities fly and float on water. They were speechless the entire time, but what really got them shocked was to meet aliens for the first time.

The big selling point was the star system in a bottle as we call it. They just couldn't imagine the power it would take to perform such a feat. When we landed Atlantis on their planet we caught the attention of the humans as we flew by their towns and villages. So, they were standing on the shore watching and wondering about where and who the flying floating city belonged too. They were still watching when we launched back to space and docked with our mothership.

The ride for our visitors was watched in silence and then they asked what we weren't capable of? We just said we weren't always able to save someone from death. They asked if we could save the most gravely injured then? We answered with most of the time, sometimes they have accepted their fate and let go even though we could have saved them. When we got them back to Rivendell Lord Elrond was quiet and I ask when his wife was almost lost? I get a date and I travel back in time and save his wife and bring her forward in time with me. He of course thinks she was lost since they did not find her. But when I appear with her beside me? He is brought to tears for it had been so long without his wife. Then after a tearful reunion he asked her if she would like to have another child? She said yes but how is it possible then we go over what we can do with a spell and she agrees right away.

Prince Legolas witnessed this and asked if I could do the same for his mother? I say yes but I need a time and place of when she became lost. He informed me of when and where, when I arrive, I must fight several orcs to get her to safety. Then I tell her about what I was about to do, and she was a little hesitant, but Legolas sent along a letter telling her to trust me. In the end she agrees to come with me, and we arrive, and Legolas hugs his mother like she was about to disappear. I then transport us to their kingdom in the greenwood forest.

The reception with Legolas' father was tense at first and I know about the dragon fire damage he is hiding. So, I scan past his glamour and come up with a treatment to restore his face. It takes several days to fix the damage but, in the end. He is free of the pain he has had to live with and was showing a more forgiving side and was happy to have his wife back. They of course want the fertility spell so they can have another child, along with many other couples. When many elves feel the calling to sail to the undying lands, we figure the time has come for us to leave also.

The ones to mate with an elf some stay behind, and the rest will be coming with us. The ones to mate with an elf decide it is better to remain an elf with their mate. So, now we count four elves in our family though they are all dragons now also, now that was a hard sell.

We say our farewell and we slowly teleport up to our ship over several days to give them time to say good bye. Once we have all teleported up, we spend a few months exploring this universe. It is quite beautiful and totally different to our realms. When we are ready, we transform back to our original selves, though there were several who wished to remain an elf, so we have elves among our crew. If we ever go to the star trek universe, they might think they were Vulcan! That would be so funny!

We shrink our mothership and prepare to do our next realm jump excited to see what we will see next. This realm has been fun, and we got to practice magic a little more but not as much as we thought we would have had to. Oh well, we may yet see one realm we have to use magic more. But as we pass thru the portal all we can do is scan and work out where and what realm we are in.
