Chapter 14 - Welcome To My Crib

The three girls stood in silence as they process what they heard but Fenrir was the first to break the silence.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Fenrir! Styxx-nii also saved me from bad people today…Also, I like meat!"

The animals nodded at her and yipped and whined as if saying 'Welcome!'.

Bastet noticing that all eyes turned to her, she shyly stepped forward and began to introduce herself.

"Um, Um, I'm Bastet… um… Styxx nii-san also saved me…"

After introducing herself, she shyly stepped back and hid behind Tara. In turn, she got the same yipping and whining as Fenrir, welcoming her into the fold.

"And I'm Tara, please take care of me and my little sisters," said Tara, bowing a little towards the beasts.

Alpha jumped up growling and howling at Tara, startling her, before turning to Styxx and yipping at him, clearly she had a problem with Tara.

Styxx chuckled,

"No, she's not here to take your place as the big sister, your little sisters are Beta and Delta, while hers are the two small ones next to her. Besides, all three of them are older than you, so don't complain too much."

Alpha snorted and shook her head before turning her head away, she was discontent.

"Okay, okay, let's just go home," Styxx said,

"Fenrir, you get on Alpha, Bastet you get on Beta, and Tara you get on Delta,"

"Eh? What do you mean?" asked Tara,

"They are your rides… or do you prefer to walk the rest of the way? your choice," teased Styxx,

"Woo-hoo!"

Fenrir dashed towards Alpha, her tail wagging in excitement before hopping on her back without hesitation, she received the same level of enthusiasm from the black wolf as their tails seem to wag in sync. Bastet and Tara weren't as excited and hesitated as they neared the huge bears.

The two girls didn't know how to get on the twin bears, but before they could back out, Styxx picked them up by the sides, receiving a yelp from the girls and plopped them on the back of the bears respectively.

"Alright, let's go!" Styxx began to run and the three pairs followed diligently,

The girls were in awe as the animals maneuvered through the forest with ease, even the bears had no problems keeping up with the wolf in front of them.

Styxx was the most impressive to the girls as either he jumped over fallen trees or kicked off trees like a monkey. He even ran through boulders like he was a ghost.

Eventually, they made it to the mountainside, where only a huge campfire was built with tree trunks surrounding it, designed to be used as benches.

The girls slid off and looked around confused. This was it? Just a big campfire and some benches in a clearing by the mountainside?

"Is this home?" Tara asked, her voice tinged with disappointment.

She figured there would be at least a cabin or some tents. Does Styxx Onii-sama wants us to live under the sky?

"Yup," said Styxx, his smile widening as he saw the confusion and disappointment in their eyes.

"Come on, I'll give you a tour and then I'll make your rooms, it just so happened that I was in the middle of renovations,"

The girls still look confused as they watched Styxx walk near the side of the mountain. He stomped his foot and part of the mountain slid down revealing a lit-up hallway in the dark mountainside.

"Wow~" the girls exclaimed,

"I hope you girls didn't think that I slept on the ground," Styxx said with a smile,

Tara turned pink because that was exactly what she was thinking.

The girls followed Styxx inside, while the animals stayed behind and laid down around the campfire and gasped the moment they stepped inside. The hallway had beautifully hand-carved murals of monsters and people, like a half-man half-bull in a maze killing soldiers and an old man on a mountain throwing lightning bolts.

Styxx explained to them they were all scenes from Greek Mythology that he had carved on the walls as he had imagined them. They then walked into a large room, the walls were smooth like they were made of marvel and glowing cubes were placed in certain areas to light up the room, just like the hallways. On the right side was a stylish living room with the biggest couch and fluffiest pillows the girls have ever seen with a TV almost as big as the wall. On the left side of the room, a formal dining room and a brand-new shiny kitchen were stylishly placed next to each other. Styxx didn't need to eat at all, but he still liked to taste of food, so he had a habit of cooking for himself once in a while. Right in the middle of the room, an exquisite spiral staircase was placed.

On the other side of the room, another hallway could be seen, but this hallway was pitch black. Styxx explained that was where his lab and tech room was at, and that they should never go there unless he was present. When asked why by Fenrir, he explained that there was stuff in there that could kill them with just a touch.

Styxx lead them to the stairs and headed down. The stairs ended right in front of a door made of dark oak. On the door, beautiful mermaids sunbathed on rocks, broken ships sinking in the background. He opened the door to a restroom no different than to what you would find in a regular home; a toilet, a mirror, a sink, and some cubbies to put your clothes in.

Styxx motioned their attention to the sliding glass doors that were placed instead of a wall. The glass was patterned in the shape of diamonds.

He slid the door opened revealing a room twice as big as the living room upstairs. On the left side of the room, a hot spring the size of an Olympic swimming pool was the source of the steam that covered the room. Placed around the hot spring bath, statues of dragons, tigers, and phoenixes made of precious metals and gemstones shot water into the bath.

On the right side, a gentle waterfall emptied into a deep and crystal-clear pond. The girls thought it was beautiful as a luscious bamboo forest surrounded it and separated it from the bathhouse/hot spring next to it.

"There is an underground river about 20 meters below us, I tapped into it and that's where all the water I use come from. Everything also empties back in the river in a perpetual cycle." Styxx explained,

____________

1) I've already decided that these girls' relationship to the MC will be exclusively familial. Even if Tara develops a crush, I think these poor and abused children need to be pampered more than romance.

2) If, and I say IF, I do make a Harem or have the MC go through multiple relationships (As in one girl at a time), I want it to be with girls different from what other fanfics use, maybe a mix between favorites, OCs, and less popular ones. I really don't know yet... If it's just one girl? Milf or OC.

3)Recently I've been delving deeper into the waters of the fanfics world and let me tell you! Jesus fucking Christ! who the fuck is this 'GhostyZ'?! Is he/her/they for real?! I have more content in these 14 chapters than he does in most of his works put together! his ideas are good I'm not going to lie, but is any of them ever finished?!
