I frowned, glad I was wearing clothes. “They’re not tiny.”

  “Oh, I mean, I saw. They’re comically small. Oh, I don’t mean offense by that, only relative to some of ours, I mean…” She motioned to one of the minotaur monsters, who had undressed again and had balls about the size of my head. “It’s all relative, of course. Your kind isn’t as endowed as monsters.”

  I waved it off. “Right, right. You were saying?”

  She blushed. “Thank you. That’s all. The queen has been killing us off for too long now. My whole village was wiped out by one of her little experiments, and I watched as she took over a neighboring village and mind-controlled them, having them attack other villages they’d been friends with. All because she can.”

  Holding this woman’s gaze, I said, “If we can stop her, we will.”

  “Thank you.” She took my hand, pressed it to her enormous breast, and said, “May my breasts be always in your service.”

  At that, she gave me another smile then took off to mingle with others.

  “What was…?” I started, and noticed Kinara walking up next to me. She grinned and said, “You met the Ulorma. Their breast milk works wonders in the world of healing, but also in other ways, like boosting your speed or strength.”

  I guffawed, unsure how that worked, but not opposed to trying. Wrapping my arm around Kinara, I pulled her close, leaning over to bury my nose in her hair. She smelled of the lake, but I didn’t care.

  Amabie walked by, taking the monsters in, and Lizzy was walking about. She joined us, and even Devasla had come back for the funeral.

  “Did that queen lady get you?” I asked Devasla.

  “No, but I’ve never been able to land much of a strike on her.”

  “You fought her before…?”

  “Twice.” Devasla beamed. “First time, got my ass handed to me. Second, she seemed to be toying with me. But this time? This time, I think I was getting close.”

  “We might end up with a chance to try again,” Jalee said, joining us. That was the last thing I wanted to be considering at the moment. As we stood there, I couldn’t help but look at the strange robot thing in the lake, pushed off to the edge.

  “Think we can get it to work, but for us?” I asked. “The robot, I mean.”

  “I might be able to figure something out,” Greg said, as the tech wiz of the group.

  “Great. And…” I turned back to where the portal had closed the day before, taking Vaper and Void with it. “We have to be ready. At all times. Because we never know what’s coming.”

  In fact, my words were very much true. That very night, we had an attack, but of a very different nature. It came as I was buried face-first in Koharu’s pussy, Kinara rubbing my back as the two kissed. Others were involved, too, but we all froze at the sounds of struggle, then alarms going off and Greg’s voice shouting over the intercom system, “We’re under attack!”

  “What is it?” I asked, wiping my chin as I stood and strode over to the window.

  I didn’t need them to answer, because staring at me through the window was a face almost like stone—a woman with two sets of longhorns, massive wings spread out behind her. At first, I thought she was just another monster, but it didn’t hit me what she really was until Ahlaksiz said the word.

  “A gargoyle,” she said, then another flew past, even larger than the first.

  We were under siege by an army of gargoyles!

  Author Notes

  Book 5 is complete! We entered the world of the monsters, and I imagine you might have thought, Hey, I’ve seen this place before! That is, if you’ve read my other books. Have you? If so, thoughts? Let me know on the Facebook group, or at JamieHawkeAuthor@gmail.com.

  Also, I hope the ending excites you. I’m not even going to beat around the bush at this point. Yes, this series is connected to Myth Protector and Stone Cold Mage. Both fun series, I’m sure you agree. Even more fun now that they’re connected.

  That should make for some fun in Book 6, and more fun for a potential future spinoff series. As I planned on the supers side, I’d like to explore the idea of doing a multi-POV series that allows me to tell the three series combined.

  Stay tuned!

  Book 6 Sample

  And don’t forget to read book 6!

  Finding out your mansion is being invaded by gargoyles isn't the best start to a night. You might remember where we left off but let me back up a bit. Back to those moments right after the funeral had ended, when Ahlaksiz was trying to get in touch with the Protector to let them know the bad news--that we'd lost the sun disk when Vaper went through.

  We were still recuperating as a group, figuring out how best to indoctrinate the new monsters. They were primarily set up in one of the nearby mansions, and we'd been doing the rounds, saying hello, helping to heal those who needed it. Mostly they were in shock with the knowledge that they'd gone through to a new world. I wondered if I could still use totems to summon monsters, and if so, how that would work if they were already here?

  I made myself a sandwich with turkey meat and barbeque and was about to see what was on the television before trying to get some visual novel writing time in, when I came upon Ahlaksiz, moving briskly through the hall toward me. I’d wanted to work, not because we needed the money with what we had from Ahlaksiz and now Randi, but because it was fun. My visual novels had always been as much about enjoyment as getting a payday, even if I had to target the market a bit more than I’d have preferred. The idea of not working on them simply because we had money didn’t even cross my mind. However, any interaction with these ladies was always preferable to work, even fun work.

  "There you are." She took me, arms around my neck, and pressed her lips to mine.

  "Hello to you, too," I said, loving the affection. "Everything okay?"

  "Just… stressed out about all this." Her cougar ears and tail were showing, which I was glad of. Apparently, around here she didn't feel the need to hide them anymore.

  "Did you get a hold of them?" I asked, referring to the Protector and his Myths.

  Ahlaksiz shook her head. "No, but we'll go tomorrow. Find them, maybe at the Malibu mansion, and fill them in on what happened."

  "Great, do keep me updated. And if there's a chance to meet up again, I'd love to. They seemed to be quite interesting."

  "Sure it's not just an excuse to stare at more beautiful women?"

  I scoffed. "When you're sitting down for a Thanksgiving feast, you don't exactly crave Taco Bell."

  "They're hardly Taco Bell, Ferris." She eyed me, then shook her head with a laugh. "Honestly, it'd be fine if you wanted to see them all again. It's not like any of us has room for jealousy. Not with so much going on."

  "None of you?"

  She grinned, then headed off as she said, "I'll keep trying to get through. Just need to get myself one of those sandwiches, first. Yours looks delicious."

  "Have it," I said, holding it out.

  She eyed it, grinned, and accepted. "You're a lifesaver."

  With that, she gave me another quick kiss, then headed back to do her thing. That left me wondering why I was so interested in seeing the Protector again. Jack. He was a cool enough guy, in that nerdy, “I get him” way. But it was more than that; it was the ladies, too, but not in that sexy context. It was the fact that they were the actual fairy tales, in a sense, that I'd grown up reading about. Seeing them was like meeting a favorite movie star, except ten times cooler.

  Anyway, I needed another sandwich, so I headed back down to make one. What I found was Koharu with Kinara, both at the dining room table, leaning against it and giggling. Considering how they stopped to eye me like a piece of raw meat when I got close, I had to assume they'd been talking about me.

  "What'd I miss?" I asked.

  "Koharu here thinks no men are really into going down on a woman, and I said that's bullshit," Kinara said. "It's bullshit. Tell her."

  "Complete bullshit," I agreed and meant it. "And… why were we discussing this?"

  "Ah, see… Koharu's horny. And so am I."

  I chuckled, but they both stared at me longingly. My appetite had suddenly shifted, so I no longer cared about having a sandwich.

  "Upstairs?" I asked.

  They nodded.

  My stomach rumbled. "Mind if I bring… toppings? For this dessert."

  "Not at all," Koharu said, already squirming. Her monkey tail swayed back and forth, while Kinara licked her lips my direction.

  "Don't take too long," Kinara said. "We'll head up and get clean."

  I nodded, unopposed to that. As much as I loved to eat pussy, it was always more pleasant when freshly washed. But my snacks would help with that, anyway. I found chocolate pudding and whipped cream, figuring that would do. Before heading up, I popped a couple of chocolate-covered almonds into my mouth, so I wouldn't be interrupted by actual hunger in the middle of my “feast.”

  The sound of running water drew my attention to the bathroom as I walked through the door. Clothes were strewn about. You better believe I stripped, too, and with perfect timing as the water shut off and the two ladies emerged.

  "Hello, there," Koharu said, and she had her hands on Kinara's back. Clearly, they'd been washing each other. The thought alone was enough to bring me to arousal. Her eyes lowered to my package and she added, "Sugoi."

  "I often forget you know Japanese," I said, then remembered that Suiko did, too, and it was very likely that Ahlaksiz was fluent. Damn, with Yuki and Greg as well, this place was perfect for any Japanophile. "Can we practice sometime? I mean, I've always wanted to be better at Japanese."

  "Ferris," Kinara interjected, "does this feel like the right time for that discussion?"

  "Well…" A glance over their bodies, then down to my erect cock, told me it was indeed not the right time.

  "It's okay," Koharu said, moving over to me, hand running down my body and caressing me below. "Chinko dekai, ne?"

  I gulped, hand going to her waist, caressing her smooth skin. It went down to her thigh as she stroked me, eyes moving over to the whipped cream.

  "Nani sorre?"

  "Kore wa…” I snatched up the bottle and held it over my cock, eyes meeting hers questioningly. "Ii desu ka?"

  Her tongue ran along her upper lip, and she gave me a subtle nod. Kinara came up behind her, hand moving along her tail, the other cupping her breast, watching as I squirted a dollop of whipped cream on the middle of my shaft.

  It was cold, causing me to jump slightly. Koharu chuckled, pushing me back to sit at the edge of the bed, and lowered her head between my legs. Kinara stood behind her, rubbing her shoulders and leaning over to get a good view as Koharu licked the edge of the cream, barely letting me feel the hint of her tongue.

  "Umai," Koharu said, running her hands along my inner thighs as she nuzzled my balls with her cheek, then adding, "Oishii."

  "This is a fun way to learn the language," Kinara said, kneeling to cup Koharu's breasts and kissing the back of her neck. "What do I call these?"

  "Opai?" I offered, referring to her breasts.

  "Mmm-hmm," Koharu replied, licking up the last of the cream, then taking my cock fully in her mouth.

  I leaned back, moaning, but on the point of orgasm, pulled back, and said, "My turn."

  She sat first, then I guided Kinara to sit next to her. They looked at me expectantly, then I led them to kiss. Their hands started caressing each other on their own, and I took the chocolate pudding, wiping a bit of it on Kinara's nipple, then some on Koharu's. I licked them both clean, then took some of that whipped cream. Lifting Koharu's leg to spread them, I grinned at the sight of her gorgeous pussy, and spread a bit of that cream along the curve of her mound. I dove in, lapping it up and not even caring that the cream was getting all over my cheeks and chin.

  Koharu took some of the cream from my cheek, spreading it on Kinara's breast to lick it off, then moving to her neck. She took more as I ran my tongue along her clit, watching. Spreading that cream on her own neck, she leaned over to let Kinara at it. She did, then pulled back, yacking.

  "Blah, yuck!" Kinara shot up, going to the bathroom and running the water.

  "What…?" I asked, leaning back, but Koharu grabbed my head and pulled me back in. Not that I was protesting. As I continued to kiss and lick, running my tongue around her clit, I did my best to hold back a laugh when Kinara returned, explaining that she hated the taste of sugar.

  "Put some raw meat or blood on that neck, you'll never get me off." Kinara leaned over me, running Koharu's tail along my back. It tickled, and I had to pull back..

  "Focus," Kinara said, pulling me in again. "And you, up here."

  When I was able to look, I got a view of Kinara's ass as she straddled Koharu's face. Koharu had laid back and was using the whipped cream as she brought moans from Kinara.

  "Has anyone seen the whipped cream…" Ahlaksiz said, entering and freezing at the sight.

  "Got it here," Kinara replied, and turned around to spray some on my back, causing me to shudder, and Koharu to yelp as I went too hard.

  I leaned back and motioned for Ahlaksiz to join us. She eyed us, considering, then said, "Yeah, I was going to use it for my coffee, but figure this should wake me up, too."

  "You're damn right it will," Kinara said, and she was up, going over to the woman to help her undress.

  Ahlaksiz met my gaze as her clothes came off, then she turned Kinara around to face me, caressing her body from behind, moving a hand between her legs, and sliding a finger into her pussy as I watched. Then they moved over to us, and she started kissing Koharu while I went down on Kinara, before moving over to bury my face in Ahlaksiz from behind. As I did, I felt hands on my ass and a tongue on my balls, then someone pulling me over and pushing me to my back. As if on cue, all three women converged on me, kissing my mouth, abs, and cock. I didn't even know who was where, I was so caught up in the moment.

  Then they were somehow all down there, tongues flicking about, whipped cream and chocolate mousse in places I was pretty sure it didn't belong. Kinara made sure to map out her own area to avoid the sugar taste, and she was the one who slurped up the majority of my cum when I couldn't hold out any longer and finally unleashed.

  Koharu slid in to get the last dribbles, then Ahlaksiz pinned down Kinara to finger her, tail moving along her body with her tongue. Since they were occupied and I hadn't finished what I'd started with Koharu, I helped her back to a sitting position at the edge of the bed and knelt there, working to finish her off.

  I froze, tongue mid-flick across Koharu's clit, the sound of a shout and thuds alerting me. Too in the moment, I was going back in for more when an alarm blared.

  "Fuck," I muttered, kissing Koharu on the left labia and pulling back, eyes meeting hers as we wondered what was going on.

  Greg's voice came over the intercom in answer, shouting, "We're under attack."

  Not surprising, but also kind of annoying. I stood, wiping my chin as I asked, "What is it?"

  There she was, the first gargoyle I'd seen in my life. This woman had two long horns and massive wings that seemed to be flesh but with a stony quality.

  Ahlaksiz strode up next to me, leg in front of my crotch so the creature wouldn't be exposed to that sight, and said, "A gargoyle," in almost a growl.

  When the next one flew by, even larger than the first, I knew we might be in trouble.

  "Clothes," I said, running out of the room and grabbing my yukata on the way. I threw it around myself and tied the sash, then realized I had no idea where I was going.

  "Ferris?" Lizzy asked, sticking her head out from a few doors down.

  "Gargoyles on the attack," I replied, ignoring the way her eyes moved to the bulge clearly not hidden by my yukata. "Where's the security room?"

  "Follow me."

  She darted out and down the stairs, wearing flannel pants and a tank top. With the arm exposed, I couldn't help but look at the way her metal limb was merged to the flesh. Where the two met, little strands of darkness floated as if just off the surface.

  "Where're you going?" Ahlaksiz asked, catching up.

  "The security room, to see what we're up against. Get everyone ready and prepare defenses.”

  "I'm coming with you."

  I didn't argue but reached out mentally to Suiko, then summoned Devasla.

  "Where do you want me?" Devasla said, rising from a hole in the ground at the entrance as we passed it. More thuds sounded, and something dark was moving outside the door, visible in a brief movement through the window.

  "Close that up and make sure there are no fires," I said. "Then stand by. If anything gets through that door, attack!"

  We went around the stairs to where Randi had shown me a secret entrance leading into the security room. A wall covered with screens showed glimpses of flying gargoyles, but there was more than that. The reason for the thudding was a massive beast with bulging biceps, but what looked like a woman sat on its shoulders, hands in its glowing head. They were actually inside of that monster, as if massaging its brain!

  I blinked, trying to understand what I was seeing. There was another figure on the ground, beyond the walls, barely visible with the camera’s angle. A two-headed creature, with a staff glowing in one hand. One of its heads was covered by a hood. The other wasn't visible, but had long, flowing silver hair.

  "Monsters?" I asked.

  "No," Ahlaksiz said, now catching up. "The gargoyles are a different breed altogether. Been around here and there for a while, you could say. That and their witches--this one here," she indicated the thing pounding on the door," she kind of summons monsters, too, but from somewhere else. A worse, more primal sort of monster."

  "Are they associated with the witches we faced?"

  "I…" She looked puzzled, then shrugged.

  "And the two-headed one?"

  "What?"

  I pointed, and she laughed.
