[Are you okay?!] Harold asked.

[He is fine, but who are you?] Libra asked curiously.

“Are you okay,” Dani asked as I opened my eyes to find her tiger-striped orange and black hairless face hanging over top of me.

I nodded as I was assaulted by all three voices inside and out of my head. I scrubbed my hands over my face and sat up, making Dani pull back as I did.

“Yeah, I think that I am alright, but I have control of one of the rings, and I have an idea of what I am dealing with now. Though it looks like I gained a new orchestra member in my mind,” I said, and Dani gave me a strained look.

“Are you sure that you are all right?” Dani asked me with a concerned look on her face, and I rolled my eyes.

Everyone seemed to think that I was crazy when I talked about the voices in my head, and one really couldn’t blame them.

[I am Hero, Zack’s guide. You are Libra, I would assume, right?] Harold asked.

[I am one of his Zodiac lovers! Libra, The Perfect Scales of Astral Balance!] Libra declared in my mind, and I could almost feel Harold’s eyes rolling.

[Of course, you are, and I did just mention that was your name. Regardless, what does this mean for us now? You were gone for a blink, but something interesting must have happened while you were gone, right?] Harold asked.

[Zackary will not talk of our private time in which he filled my tight wet Constellation to bursting with his Milky Wave!] Libra declared, and I rolled my eyes.

[Oh yes, there is no need if you are going to tell me! Sounds like you are better at describing than Zack is anyways!] Harold chuckled.

[You are the lewdest of men, Hero! You were not to listen to a lovely virgin maidens secret words!] Libra growled cutely.

[Oh yeah, a virgin, like my ass! Where did you find this one?] Harold asked me, and I sighed.

‘Buried in the ground; the same place that you are going to be soon if you don’t stop egging her on! You two are like a big pair of children; now let me deal with Dani so we can get going!’

I got up as Dani continued to look me over with concern, brushing bits of grass off my ass and the back of my legs. I turned and looked at the concerned-looking Caterpillar girl.

“I have one of the rings in my control now, and they are going to be my guild. It will be safer for you to wait here for me to get back after dealing with the brothers,” I said to Dani, ignoring her concerned look.

“Are you sure about this? You don’t seem like you are in the proper state of mind to go off by yourself!” Dani complained.

“Don’t worry, I will be fine; I have guides, and I can just muscle through anything that gets in my way if I get stuck,” I said, but that just seemed to antagonize the look on Dani’s face.

“See?! This is why I am so worried!” Dani yelled at me.

At the same time, I felt something coming out of me, and so did Dani, making her scream and then pass out. I turned my head, facing Libra, who was standing beside me in a sheer white dress.

Both her breasts floated off her chest like a pair of moons that hung weightlessly. I grinned at her and then reached out to her, but my hand passed through her figure, making her image waver slightly.

“Sorry, I can only come out and tease you and others, but I won’t normally do this. This girl just seemed to be a bit too concerned about things that didn’t concern her. Now she is taking a little nap, and you can get going. You have a job to do, don’t you?” Libra asked with a slight smile.

[That isn’t fair! Why can’t I do that!] Harold complained from inside of my head.

“You already have enough advantages, Astral Guide. This is just from me to help provide visual help. So I can tell my man when I want him to fill-,” Libra started to say, but I concentrated, and she was sucked back into my body before she could finish her sentence.

[Hey!] Libra complained from inside of my head as Harold laughed.

“You said that we needed to get going, so let’s get to that!” I said as I turned and started to walk across the rough ring.

The two stayed quiet, and I pressed through the mirror wall, and it was like passing through cool water that didn’t make my skin wet.

The other side was less than impressive, but I wasn’t really sure what I expected to see.

A large white marble wall was on the other side, but now I could see many insects, but they were more human-like than I would have expected. They were still bugs, but they all had some resemblance to humans.

Or that was what I thought at first, but I started to notice that most of them were missing eyes. The brothers must be shaping the bugs in this world to be more like them, but I was curious about the purpose of this all was?

[They need to make the bugs gain memories and then devour them when they gain enough experience. The bugs all typically have very short lives and are unthinking, so this is a win-win for them.] Libra explained, and I nodded as I looked over the insects as they filed to an opening in the wall.

I looked over at the crowded gate, but there seemed to be some disturbance, and the bugs were arguing.

[I am no longer influencing this ring, so they are probably arguing about something that isn’t important.. I suggest you just hop over the wall and get on your way!] Libra said in my mind with excitement.
