500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"I did not just leave those Lamia's sitting in my living room! Bah!" I said, and Tallia blinked and then giggled.

"That is right. The two of us got so wrapped up in each other that we forgot about them. I suppose you should go get them," Tallia giggled as she opened her own portal.

I watched her leave with Fate following Tallia with her head down and then let out a long-ass sigh once it closed. Then I opened a portal to see Lexi and Karine sitting peacefully on the cushions where I had left them.

"I am so sorry for forgetting about you girls!" I said, but Lexi just smiled and shook her head as Cancer came over to my side.

"We are very comfortable here, so there is nothing to apologize about. I am a bit parched, though," Lexi said, and Cancer stepped through my portal.

"I can get you some tea or wine if you would like? Galio had an unlimited amount of both ready at all times," Cancer said, and Lexi's smile deepened.

"I can never say no to a wine sampling," Lexi said to Cancer, but then looked at me. "Are you sure it is okay for us to stay in this place without you? This is your home, after all."

"Wait! That is your house?!" Eliza exclaimed, and I nodded with a chuckle.

"Yes, you can go look if you want," I said, and she squealed, grabbing Karma's hand.

"Do you girls want to come with me? I have never been there before, so you can all show me around!" Eliza asked excitedly, and Karma nodded.

"I would love to do that! But after we are done, I want you to show me all over the city, deal?" Karma asked, and Eliza nodded.

"Of course! What kind of countess would I be if I didn't! You are all like royalty! Goddesses! Oh! this is going to be so much fun!" Eliza exclaimed and then looked at me. "You don't mind, right? I am sure that Trina can help you with the cake, right?"

"Yes, you girls, go have fun. There is nowhere on my island that is off limits, but stay out of the water unless you are itching for a fight," I warned, and Eliza ran over and gave me a fierce hug that I returned.

"I love you so much, Galio. Thank you for always bringing me new friends and amazing people to meet. You really are the best thing that has ever happened to me," Eliza whispered to me, then kissed me and wiggled free. "Okay, Girls! Let's go explore the mythical Cat God's Paradise!"

"It is just my Astral Island," I chuckled, but Eliza put a finger up to my lips to silence me.

"That is what it is to you, but to the rest of us normal and even godly folk, this is a mythical place that barely anyone has ever visited! Think about how excited you were to explore this world when you first got here, right?" Eliza scolded, and I smiled, kissing her finger and making her give me a hug before jumping through the portal. "Hey, Lexi! I will have a glass of that wine as well!"

"Okay, but you are all going to have to stay the night there, okay?" I asked as Destiny, Murphy, and Luck headed through the portal.

"That is fine! Senna can take care of things; just let her know for me!" Eliza called, and I shook my head with a chuckle as Karma walked over and gave me a hug and then a kiss.

"Thank you for everything that you did and have done. I will be sure to make it up to you the best that I can. Tallia is really an amazing woman, and I can see why you like her so much," Karma said, and I nodded.

"I can't deny how much I love her, but I love the rest of you as well; she is just different than everyone else to me. I think there is more to our connection than I know, but I don't know when either of us will figure it out. For all I know, she could already know, and the Guides are forcing her to hold it back from me. Would not be the first time they did something like that," I said, and Karma shrugged.

"You worry too much about things that you can't change. You just need to relax and take your time. Make that cake for the Angel that you upset, and just relax," Karma said, and then looked at the portal. "It is almost ironic that we are all going for a sleepover here without Fate coming when the whole point was to get here."

"Fate is here now, so he can't bother you or act all creepy possessive," I said, and Karma sighed.

"I still don't think this is about me. I think that I am just his excuse, and he is jealous of me. I don't know why, but that is the feeling that I get," Karma said, and I nodded.

"He is just a brat. He does not know how to handle his emotions, so he just lashes out. We will get through this, I promise you," I said, and Karma nodded.

"Now that he is a girl, I think that things will slowly change, I hope at least. Maybe spending some time with your goddess will do her some good. Tallia is one of the strongest women I have ever met, and she definitely knows how to handle you better than anyone I have seen," Karma said, and I scoffed.

"I don't know if I would call that handling, more like manhandling!" I complained, and Karma kissed me again.

"Have fun baking," Karma said and left through the portal.

"Have a good evening, Cat God, and thank you for allowing us to enjoy your island," Lexi said, and Karine nodded along.

"Enjoy yourselves, but I would like to have a conversation with you in private sometime, Lexi. We seem to get thoroughly interrupted when others are around,'' I chuckled, and she nodded.
