Soon it was time to leave Sub-Eternia, after a month there the group felt sad to leave their friends. Adam was sure once they left they would be attacked with in the hour, and he was right The snakemen attacked fifty three minutes after they left. Once again Lyn used her frost magic to slow them down , Sonara helped by using her sonic scream to disorient them. This left them completely open for Adam, Teela, and Grune to make brutal attacks. Cringer even jumped one, the five hundred pound tiger nearly ripped him in half. Damani got a couple light hits in with her whip. Adam charged in cutting four down with his sword, headed for King Hiss. Teela used her snake staff and crippled three, then spun her staff and brought it down on a fourth ones head laying him out dead. Grune used her spiked mace and just smashed all who stood in her way. In all eleven snakemen died before Adam reached King Hiss._
Once Adam had got close Hiss unleashed his true form, and started striking at him. Adam dodged and struck back with his sword, Hiss nearly lost a head in the exchange. Hiss continued to lash out trying to sink a set of fangs in Adam, But the prince was actually getting better as they fought. Then it happen, Hiss went for a strike on Adam's arm only to lose that arm/snake. Hiss thanked Serpose he could regenerate it, but he had to call a retreat for today. When he did he was shocked to see only half his men were still with him, as the others had been dealt with. He figured it was mostly Grune considering the state her mace was in and the smirk on her lovely face._
After the snakemen withdrew the group went on to Andreanose, where Adam was happy to find Sweetbee a scout for the hive ship. Adam had met Sweetbee on Etheria, she was looking for a place for her people to live. He had mentioned Eternia and it seemed she sought it out. Now her people and the Andreanians had come together being so similar in biology, Sweetbee's people had become part of the Andreanians extended hive and their leader a male had been just what the Andreanian Queen needed. The two had married just a week before Adam and the girls came_
Sweetbee had been chosen to represent the new Andreanians being she not only already knew Adam but she was also the daughter of the Newly wed royal couple. Needless to say Damani wasn't the only one who wasn't happy with how Sweetbee effected Adam, Grune wasn't the only green eyed monster in the room. Things changed quickly over the next couple days as they learned of new advances in science and medicine being made in Andreanose, Sweetbee's people were mostly doctors, scientists, and engineers. After two weeks they traveled to Avalon where Stradose's cousin Hawk joined them, she was a big help in getting Damani to join in combat training as well as helping around the house. The two had become friends, well sort of, they talked a lot and argued even more._
Two weeks later They headed out Adam, Cringer, And seven ladies. Over the next four months they add six more ladies to the group for a total of twelve women, Adam took them all to his country villa. They were met by a large staff who prepared rooms, fixed meals, and thoroughly cleaned the whole house, once everyone went to bed that night Adam thanked the staff and sent them home with a bonus. He wanted to test the ladies and see who would make a good wife and queen, for that was his real purpose here. Though she never said anything Adam was sure Teela knew he was He-man, he just needed to find a way to know for sure. Until then he would have some fun with his tests._
The next day the ladies awoke to the smell of pancakes and coffee, they were shocked to see Adam in shorts and an apron finish making a stack of pancakes. He then informed them his villa had no staff and they would be taking care of themselves, Damani asked about the staff that was there only to be told they had come to get it ready for them and help the first day. There was more than one grumble, but to Adam's surprise lady Damani wasn't among those complaining._
After breakfast some ladies chose to lay out by the pool while others chose to train with Adam, later he checked the list of chores to see who volunteered to do what. Between those two things Adam knew who was lazy and pampered and who wasn't afraid to work hard. Come the end of the week Adam had little choice But to send four ladies home. Damani was shocked she had made it through the first elimination, so was Adam. To be honest Everyone of the original foursome was in shock, but Adam had to give Damani credit. She had grown up quite a bit since they started this trip._
The next week things got better, with less people meant less work and more play time. One day they were lounging around the pool when Adam suggested a bikini contest, the winner would get a date with him out in town. Damani asked to change it to a swimsuit competition, Adam agreed as did everyone else. While everyone of the ladies nearly took his breath away it was Lady Arrissa who won, she was six feet tall with a perfect hourglass figure and a bust like Castaspella's (48 DDD) long flowing raven black hair and jade green eyes._
That night Adam took her out dancing, her long legs and high hips made her a natural dancer. The young couple dominated the dance floor as other patrons watched in awe of their moves and regal grace. Adam had a really nice time until he overheard a her talking to her mother on the comm system back at the house, he overheard her belittling the others and saying she would win because he was too stupid to know when he was being played. The next morning she awoke to find her things packed and a carriage waiting for her. _
Once again Damani had avoided getting sent home and she had a plan to avoid it a little longer, three days later she awoke Adam saying her roommate had just snuck out. The two followed only to find Lady Calcitey the Rock woman meet and make out with a young man. Adam cleared his throat and soon learned they wanted to get married but her father wouldn't hear of her being with a tree man (an elven looking race who live in the trees, not a member of Moss-man's race). Adam had the young man Coralon to go back to the villa with them._
In the morning the girls decorated the house while Adam called for a priest, by noon the wedding began. A fight nearly broke out when Calcitey threw the bouquet, however it was snached out of the air by Lyn and Teela who grabbed it at the same time. this earned a kiss on the cheek of both women by Adam. The newlyweds left with much thanks to everyone for making their wedding so special. Adam was proud of how they came together and did all that for Calcitey, he was so happy he overlooked the fact Damani had picked the lock on his room last night._
Adam awoke a week and a half later to find Damani laying in just her corset in bed with him, knowing he didn't invite her and his door had been locked he knew she had snuck in but why? Adam carefully picked her up and carried her back to her own bed, Teela had caught him however and made a scene. that woke everyone else in the house, Damani was the last to awaken. it didn't take long for everyone to figure out what was going on. Teela returned to her room in a huff, the others grumbled as they went back to bed. When it was just Adam and Damani He said "Damani I don't know what you were thinking but you stirred up a hornets nest, I think in the morning you should pack up and go home. Damani pouted as she scampered back to her room with her gown wrapped around her. _
