Looking at George, observing himself a bit dumbfoundedly, I smiled a little before turning at Alex who was waiting for me with a pouch of Cores in his hands.

Though he was observing me with a really confused face, as his eyes jumped from me to George many times. I could see question marks all over his faces as he turned at me before asking,

"What would have taken about 3 months.. finished in less than an hour.. brother.. What exactly did you do?... and how?"

I just chuckled a little before moving towards him, patting him on the head as I ruffled my finger through his hair, messing it up a bit. Then I took the pouch filled with cores from his hand and turned around,

"Someday I'll tell you. But, for now, I believe it would be better if I keep my secrets to myself, don't you think?"

He was quiet for a couple of moments, but after thinking about it; he nodded at me. His confusion was erased, which was soon replaced with a pondering expression. He, after recalling something, spoke,

"Gramps asked me to tell you that there is something that he wanted to talk about."

"Tell him I will see him tonight,"I spoke as I began walking towards George and checked up on him once again.

Confirming he was fine, I spoke,"try to use this energy to protect the people of this place. During times when I am not here, I will be counting on you. You can do that much, can't you, George?"

George looked at me with reverence in his eyes as he spoke,"Yes. I will."

"Now go and help out, White. See if he needs anything," I told him and he nodded before leaving from there and our gazes kept looking in the direction he was walking until he vanished from our eyesight.historical

"I still think it would have been better if you had used that core on yourself," Caroline spoke as she observed me and, turning to her, I pondered how I should answer that.

"Brother doesn't need it," spoke Alex as he observed me before turning to Caroline. He continued,"unlike the rest of us, brother's power doesn't come from the energy of the Cores or the zombies. It is something else totally. Otherwise, I would have been able to sense at least some power from him."

Hearing this, Caroline makes a bewildered look before she turns at me and I chuckle as I speak,"that is true, I suppose. Well.. I guess it won't be much of a problem to tell you this, so listen. This whole energy thing that you absorb from the cores is a form of evolutionary energy. The more you have of it, the more you would evolve. It's not limited to just humans, but zombies, too. Though I don't have any idea about animals and plants.. still, I believe they would be evolving as well."

Hearing this, both of them nodded as they had already guessed it this much, so I continued,

"There are two ways of absorbing the energy. Cores and directly from the atmosphere. Also, how much closer you are to Zombies plays an important factor in it."

Hearing this, they made a pondering expression before Alex spoke,"yeah. I guess I have witnessed that already."

I then recalled if I missed anything and sure enough, I did,"there is a very important thing that I need you guys to know. Don't take a powerful core which you can't handle. For example, the zombie core which I got from the basement zombie was too powerful for any of you. If you had tried absorbing the core, you would have turned into a Zombie.. a really powerful one at that."

Hearing my words, they gulped before making a horrifying expression. Clearly, they didn't know this piece of information. Maybe they had an idea about it, but that's about it.

"Okay. I guess that is all about Zombie Cores. Alex, is there anything else for you to say?" I asked as I looked at him and he shook his head as he spoke,"no. I just came here to give you the cores, brother. Also, about that message to Gramps, I'll pass it on to him. See you later, brother!"

He ran away cheerfully as he spoke, and I chuckled at his enthusiasm.

"What happened to the food problems?" I asked as I turned to Caroline before moving towards the room gate.

"The shop was filled with all sorts of things. Thanks to you, clearing the whole area from Zombies, we got access to the shop and our food supplies were replenished. Currently, we can go for another two weeks or so, before we need to get another source," Caroline spoke with a calculating expression and I nodded at her before closing the gate of the room from the inside.

"Is that so? I guess we would be needing a few things.." I then began moving closer to her as I continued,".. A few expeditions of sorts to find and collect food supplies from other places as well."

Reaching closer to her, I kissed her on her lips before holding her left hand with my right. Then, moving towards the bed, I slowly pulled her with me as I sat on the bed with my back against the wall. She, too, moved up with me and sat beside me as she lay her head on my right shoulders, covering her with my arm from behind as she pressed her breasts against my chest.

"Does that mean we will be venturing into the outside world now?" She asked curiously. I nodded before I slid my right hand through the lower hole of her T-shirt towards her breasts.

"Though there is somewhere I need to go before there. Somewhere I need to go alone," I spoke as played with her nipples with a little and she, turning at me a bit surprised, asked,

"Alone?"

There was worry in her eyes. They kept looking into mine as I looked at her only a few inches away.

Moving closer to her, I kissed her on her lips as I spoke,"Don't worry. I will be back before you know it."

Though her worry didn't vanish as she observed me with a question filled look and asked,

"Where are you going?" I just looked at her with a small smile as I spoke,"I.. I can't answer that."

"Is it related to those strange powers of yours?" She asked as she connected the dots, and I nodded with the same look. Then she turned silent for the next few moments before she spoke.

"Hey.. you aren't doing anything you are forced to, are you?"

Hearing her words, a warm smile formed on my face and I kissed her on her lips again as I answered with a smile,"I am not."

"And you are not going to do anything dangerous?" She asked with her gaze fixated at me.

I kissed her again as I answered,"nothing I can't handle."

"Then take me with you," she spoke with determination and I stopped to look at her sweet face before I smiled and proceeded to kiss her again.

"You are needed here more than there. Plus, I don't think I can take you there anyway," I spoke as I looked at her with a small smile. Her slight hope vanished before she asked again,

"How many days will you be gone for?"

"More or less a week," I spoke pondering, and she sighed as she muttered silently,"but you have only returned after two weeks."

I could hear her sigh in those words before she moved my right hand away from her breast, stood up and then proceeded to sit on my lap with her leg on each side. Her eyes then turned to me as she asked me,

"I don't want to feel like a burden anymore, Michael. Tell me how to get strong.. strong enough to stand beside you, strong enough so that you can rely on me."

There was a determination on her face and it looked like she was really worried about her strength. A warm fuzzy feeling filled my chest as I looked at her

I observed her for a few moments before something struck in my mind and my expression turned mischievous as I spoke,

"There is actually a shortcut.."

Hearing my words, her eyes opened up wide, and she looked like she would eat me up if I didn't tell her, but..

"I have a few conditions," I spoke as I looked at her with my gaze turning a bit more erotic and she, though worried before, understanding my intentions, chuckled a little.

Bending forward, she kissed me on my lips, before speaking,"What is.. that His Majesty wants.. from me?"

Hearing her words, and the way she was speaking.. I couldn't control myself a little, and kissed her again. This time, however, I let my tongue make it through her lips as she, too, started using her tongue, kissing me back.

After a few moments of continuous kissing, I slowed down a little as she moved slightly backwards and gazed at my face.

Moments of stillness, then I slowly reached her ears, whispering in a low but melodious voice,"make me." before I moved back.

At these words, her eyes turned a bit more lusty and her face turned a bit more red. She observed me with a beautiful smile before she chuckled a little as she spoke,"is that so?"

Her eyes still gazing at me with a bit of lust, she began unclothing herself. Removing her top as she once again showed me those enchanting breasts of hers, and spoke,

"Then.. how about I show you.. a little of heaven.. your majesty?"
