Serita lets Narg out of the bag, followed by Kim-Sung and the sixteen daughters of Li-Tak. The school’s head teacher Jamie, and the teacher Silas, both come out to see what is going on. Narg introduces Kim, as “Hiroshi’s daughter.” “Hiroshi who?” asks Jamie. Kim-Sung says “Narg, they haven’t met him yet! Hello, my name is Kim-Sung, and Hiroshi is the uncle of your ship’s crewmember Toshiro Mitsubishi. Toshiro is my cousin.” “Is Toshiro with you?” asks Silas. Kim answers “No, he’s gone back to propose marriage to the daughter of the Emperor, once she finishes mourning the death of her husband.” “Did Toshiro cause his death?” is Silas’s immediate question. “Did the Silver Moon?” asks Jamie. “No,” Narg exclaims, “We didn’t kill anybody, at least not in that city.”</p><p></p><p>Gesturing to the sixteen oriental women in colorful silk kimonos, Jaime asks “Who are they?” “That’s a long story,” Narg answers, “The short version is they are going to live here.” “On the Island?” Silas asks. “At your school” Serita answers. Silas replies “I’d better go get Beulla and Kharole (two of the other teachers at the school). The two women, along with Jaime’s husband Vincenzo, soon arrive. Narg tells Kharole “Get packed, you’re going back with Serita to the orient, they need another magic-user.” Kharole asks what the danger is, being told “None, we won, they just need you to cast some spells to get all of the junk we picked up back here. It may take a few weeks.” Silas, who is Kharole’s husband, mutters “I never get to go anywhere anymore.” </p><p></p><p>Serita decides that she is going to join Narg for his talk with Vallessa. He lets her know that that is definitely “Not going to happen. What I have to say to her is private. And I’d better not see any flies on the wall, or they’ll get smashed, if you know what I mean.” Serita continues to try to tag along, until Narg finally decides that he can’t trust her. He refuses to meet with Vallessa until after Serita and Kharole both leave the island. The two eventually pack up, and teleport off. </p><p></p><p>One of the girls asks “Who the schoolmaster.” Jamie says that she is, and is immediately handed a bag filled with magic rings. “What are these for?” she asks. “To give to our children when you feel they are ready,” the girl answers. Kim says “It’s a long story, why don’t we all go inside to discuss it.” Narg watches as the nineteen women head inside the building. He then has a brief conversation with Silas and Vincenzo, telling them that the Silver Moon won and to spread the word to the others on the island. He then borrows a horse, and rides up the Island’s mountain to his home, located in an ancient city at the top of the mountain. . </p><p></p><p>Narg arrives back at his home at around ten in the morning. He immediately strips off all of his clothing and starts to wash up. Narg’s valet Hobbson enters, and gesturing to the pile of clothing on the floor asks “Would you like me to burn those, sir?” “It might be best,” is Narg’s reply. He then says “Hobbson, I have a big problem.” The valet answers “Yes, but burning the clothes will probably kill whatever is living inside of them.” “Not that,” the half-elf fighter answers, “Hobbson, you are a man of the world, you’ve been around. I need to ask you some advice regarding my lady friend.” “Ah yes, Queen Vallessa,” the valet states. "Well yes," says Narg, "If I knew something important." "Like her birthday?" the valet interrupts. Narg continues "If I knew something really big, that she doesn't know I know, should I come right out and tell her?" Hobbson replies "Well, sir, I am really not sure, you are being a little vague." </p><p></p><p>Narg starts again "If I knew something, and she doesn't know that I know, then she'd play it straight. But if she knew that I also knew, then the thing is, she would play in differently, but I don't know if she would respond the way I want her to. Hobbson, what would you do." Still perplexed about what his employer is talking about, the valet replies "Jewelry, that always works. Sir, if I can be so bold, what exactly is it that Sir knows about?" "She's expecting," Narg replies." "Expecting jewelry?" the valet answers. "No, a baby," the fighter replies. "Oh, good," replies Hobbson, "She was throwing up last week, I was afraid that it was my cooking." Narg asks "Hobbson, how are you with babies. You don't freak out or anything do you?" "No sir, I just leave," he replies. Narg asks "How much would I have to pay you to help care for a baby?" Hobbson answers "Sir, you do not have enough money, but this might be a good time for me to ask for a raise." As usual, Narg ignores his servant’s request for a raise. </p><p></p><p>Hobbson then says "Sir, whatever you choose to do, I would recommend honesty. You are a horrible liar." "I am?" Narg comments. Hobbson then says "I would also recommend you talk to her in a big open space, where there isn't anything sharp for her to throw.” Narg starts to head for the door when Hobbson interjects “You may also want to wear some clothing." The mentally distracted Narg notices that he is still naked, and says "Could I borrow your good clothes? I want to do this right." Hobbson goes to his own quarters and gets his tux. </p><p></p><p>He brings the tux to Narg and says "Might I also suggest that you have a ring with you." "I don't have one," the fighter replies. "Wait here Sir," the valet replies, and heads off into Mojo's room. Hobbson soon returns holding a tray full of rings. Narg starts to reach for one, and Hobbson says "No, not that one Sir, it spits acid." Narg picks another one, saying "Wish me luck," and heads off. After he leaves Hobbson shakes his head and brings the other rings back into Mojo's room. </p><p></p><p>Narg walks down the street and arrives at Vallessa's house and knocks on the door. Vallessa opens the door, being very surprised to see Narg standing there. "I'm back, we won" he says. She gives the tux a once over and says "And this is your victory outfit? Why did you knock? You normally just walk right in" Narg asks “Can I come in? We need to talk.” A look of total fear crosses her face, and she exclaims "Oh my god. You've found somebody else!" "No," he answers, and thrusts forward the ring, saying "I wouldn't give this to anybody else." She looks at the ring, and says, "Isn't that Mojo's?" "I'm gonna get you another one!," Narg snaps. </p><p></p><p>She steps back, apparently still confused. Narg enters the room, and says "Look, I should come right to the point." "You haven't yet," she answers. He says, "Look, I know what is going on. I know what is happening." "That makes one of us," she answers. "Look, I know you are expecting!" he yells. After a short pause, she softly says, "How would you know that?" Narg answers "It's kind of a long story." She waits. He continues "Somebody thought it was necessary to tell me…. I was glad to know." "Who told you?" she asks. "That's not important," he answers, "It made me happy to know."</p><p></p><p>She almost breaks into tears, saying, "I was afraid to tell you before you left. I thought if you went into battle knowing it would distract you, and….you wouldn't have come back." He says, "I almost didn't come back. It was close there a few times, but we won." He steps forward, and drops to his knee, asking, "Do you want to marry me?" Her answer is immediate "What…maybe someday…not now." </p><p></p><p>He continues "I want our son, err, our child, whether it be a boy or girl, but I think it will be a boy, to have a good family to group up in. Look, I'm not good at speeches." "Apparently," she states, cutting him off, then asks, "Who told you?" He realizes he isn't going to be able to avoid answering her on this, and says, "Let's just say that someone from the future told me." "That makes as much sense as anything," she answers. He realizes that pressing her further will just make matters worse, so decides to accept her "maybe someday" as a non-negative answer, and quit while he is ahead. He kisses her, and says, "We can talk more later", and heads back to his home. Hobbson notices that Narg is back much sooner than expected, says nothing, and pours him a double strength drink.</p></blockquote><p></p>
