The days where becoming a little bit normal , or at least as normal as it was going to get.
I have found having a harem full of men with men with needs is a little exhausting I now understand, why the women here never leave their dens.
We've come up with the fairly good system in our family the men hunted in turns and in groups per my instructions, the ones that were not hunting were doing household chores and helping with the girls and and other kids.
I was teaching Seth writing and reading Tristan was learning along side him but I was also teaching him some of my first aid knowledge from my world that I had learned from the Internet and form classes.
We were living harmoniously.
The kids were thriving Xane is learning hunting and fighting and anything else that my mates were willing to teach him he is becoming very good at being a well rounded child.
El is still a grumpy preteen and is about to be a grumpy teenager in a couple of days, she prefers to be in my space most of the time and she has embraced her artistic side in the art room and crafts room.
She is even writing now I think it is a great way to express herself, her art is beautiful she is doing landscapes and portrait in paint.
When she is bored with that she is becoming adept in, crocheting weaving and macrame, she said she wants to make her own money/crystals and this is what she wants to do to earn it.
I Am proud of her and her independence and perseverance, she is shaping up to be a beautiful young lady and she is so smart.
The older kids don't know I know it but they have been secretly sparring with each other Xane teaching El what he is learning from my mates and she is teaching him what she knows from our world and fighting the kids from her school.
My mates are too afraid to teach El and are afraid to hurt her so today I am going to pull her a side with Seth and show her some self defense I have learned in my childhood form taekwondo and jujitsu classes.
I was going to teach her the front kick first.
The front kick is sometimes referred to as the "snap kick," because of the tremendous speed exerted in this move.
Seth and I were in the yard with the two oldest kids and I had set up some wood trunks for the three of us and did a demonstration for them of what I want them to do.
I explained to the kids, "the front kick It is performed by raising the knee of your kicking leg to the waist, then exerting force by exerting your foot forward, straight towards the target. This move is designed to push the target back, as well as injure them. It is one of the first kicks taught in Taekwondo, but is often considered as one of the most powerful even at higher levels."
I then demonstrated the kick on the log which splintered.
The males were watching and the kids started to clap.
I then demonstrated it on Seth it made him fly and wince from the force of the kick.
Once done I helped him up and told the kids to practice on their stumps until lunch if they stopped they would have to do the horse stance.
I corrected them a few times until they got it and then told Seth "you are in charge of them. Tell me if they stop."
I then showed him what a horse's stance is,horse's stance is used for endurance training as well as strengthening the back and leg muscles, tendon strength, and overall feeling and understanding of "feeling grounded". It is a wide, stable stance with a low center of gravity. Feet are placed 45 degrees outward.
This stance cannot only be integrated into fighting but also during exercises and forms, it also helps their posture.
I finished and went to check on the youngest girls who were growing up like weeds they are now rolling around and playing with each other.
They were throwing me through a loop with their rapid development they were all big girls now and they are trying to sit and crawl but have only gotten to the rolling so far but any day now I am almost done making them all wooden walkers.
After checking on the girls and Tony who has taken it upon himself to be the baby whisperer, I went to the kitchen and started to cook, egg fried Rice, Tteokbokk, Kimchi, stir fried Beef Bulgogi, Bibimbap, and for soup I did Galbi Tang, and some egg rolls just to diversify.
I was in the mood for Korean food and it's the ones I knew how to make from memory, it's not like I had every cookbook in the world I learned these from watching Korean cooking shows and looking them up online.
Once I was done I went back outside and checked on the big kids, they were both in a horse stance and I asked Seth, "so, how long did it take them to get to the horse stance?"
He kissed my cheek and said, "about 15 minutes before you showed up."
I kissed him back and asked," which one fell first?"
He smiled and said, "Xane did, and El made fun of him losing to a girl."
I frowned at this and looked at my kids, and said, "Xane you and your sister can stay like this, I don't like poor winners and Xane you are going to watch your sister and your sister will watch you if one of you fails so will the other. I just so happen feel like having a picnic with Seth today I will be bringing back our lunch and will be monitoring you both during lunch. Your father might have kept me from disciplining you both whenever you fought, but he is not here now and I will raise you how I feel right from now on. I do not like how you guys are so at each other's throats, and how entitled and variety you become. We're going to nip this into the butt before you guys are out of my hands for good."
I know I sound harsh but, I will not be alive forever and one day my children will be left alone without me there to protect them I don't want them to just survive I want them to thrive and be happy one day they will only have each other left as blood family, this includes the little ones also.
I will teach my children the only way I know, with the help off my awesome mates.
Their father would easily dismiss their fights as kids being kids or get on to me for being to harsh by reprimanding them.
I have spanked them before but they put themselves and others in danger, I then explained why they had such a harsh punishment and why their actions warranted it. Mostly I just grounded them or took their electronics away throwing them a book and saying I want a report afterwards if I get one they get one electronic back for an hour.
Then I went and packed up enough food for 4 people into a picnic basket with utensils and plates, afterwards telling the rest of my mates and to eat, I headed to my destination.
When I got back the kids were still struggling so I let them off the hook and said, " you can come over and eat with us but after your break you need to start training again for an hour then go get cleaned up and start your schoolwork."
They both nodded and helped me with setting up the picnic.
We had a n enjoyable time joking and a little rough housing afterwards they went back to their front kicks with more enthusiasm.
It's not like their schooling is lacking I am teaching them everything they will need to know to graduate from Earth schools just in case they want to go back.
I even got the system to give me Chromebooks full of knowledge for their education on earth, I got it when I got my last mate as a rewards.
It's supposed to have all the knowledge they will ever need to fully understand all they need to know to graduate highschool and go to college on earth.
I might be selfish but I had a discussion with the system along these lines:
Ash:"system can I send my kids back?"
System: " yes they will be sent back to the the timeline you took them from."
Ash:" will they have all their memories from here?"
System: "yes all knowledge and memories will be intact."
Ash: " system can I get Chromebooks that will teach them everything they will need to know for their future on earth?"
System: "find a new mate and I will give you enough for all your children and mates to learn if you want to go back later on."
Ash: "if my mates and I go back won't we need IDs, paperwork, and money?"
System: "yes, you are technically dead in your world, I will convert your crystals to money and give you all the paperwork you will need to survive, but you can't leave until three or more of your children want to stay here to help with the female population."
Ash: "dose that include boys?"
System: "yes, since boy determine the sex of the offspring they will have the more boys you have the better, but girls are good as well. The more mates from different breeds you have the better, you need to give each one a child. I don't expect you to have hundreds of mates though. We don't want you to become the next Qin or her mother."
Ash: "we? Are there more of you?"
System: " yes, but the others are with the other females that came here, their are about 200 of us that have women counter partners some have decided to not turn in a game system some have decided to become physical partners others decided to abandon their partners and go to be with one of the other females, if you want I can change forms and be a physical adapter.
Ash: "let me think about it, will I lose you and my space and abilitys when it if I go back?"
System: "no, what you have are yours and yours alone and even if you gain more they will stay with you, though you will be able to transfer ownership to your children upon your death bed. You are not done yet on your missions so don't be surprised if you gain more powers you are the daughter of the beast Gods your body was reborn by their hands. You are blessed because of your mothers heart."
Ash: "you do know just because you think I am a good mom doesn't mean I am one? I am human and will make mistakes I try and learn from them, but it doesn't mean I won't fail every once in a while. Even if I try my hardest to help develop decent people it is ultimately up to them to be one. I can't live their lives for them, or really know what is going on in their heads and hearts.
All I can do is guide them to the best of my ability and keep them safe until they are adults after that the rest is up to them since they have free will."
System: "this reason is why the beast Gods chose you for the future of the Beastmen, your wisdom and kindness that and your willingness to let you children have the freedom of choice. You noticed that your oldest where wanting to get stronger so you found a way to help them, you even noticed that your youngest girls are developing rapidly and found a way to help them with it. The walkers will come in handy in the next few days, good job on the foresight. You are a good mom."
Ash: "thank you for the acknowledgment, even though I don't feel like I'm a good mom ever, and that I'm lacking in a lot of areas."
System: "have fun in your new life and stop stressing about your earthly up bringing, that says you have to be perfect for everyone else Just be yourself."
Ash: "thank you for your support and advice. It's nice to have you in my head and my moms voice out of it. It's kinda like your my own personal therapist/ guru."
It was nice to know that I was stuck in this world and neither were my children, and that I was doing a halfway decent job enough for the gods to acknowledge me.
After myself contemplation's and revisions I decided to go and finish up the walkers for my girls.
I came inside just in time to seeing my girls sit up by themselves they really are developing rapidly for newborns it must be their Beastmen bloodline.
