Three years later…


    Michelle


    “Do you have everything?” Michelle asked.


    Luna rolled her eyes. “Yes, Mom. I’ve checked everything three times.”


    “I know, I know, but it’s easy to forget things.”


    Luna didn’t comment. Michelle locked the front door behind them and they walked together to the prearranged carriage.


    Luna smiled as she spotted her girlfriend, having finally gotten together with her a year and a half ago, much to everyone’s immeasurable relief.


    It really was a fairy tale romance for her, wasn’t it? Her childhood friend and eventual lover was secretly a princess, and she went from having no home and just me as family, to having lots of people who love her and a city that she’ll miss while she’s away.


    Both Luna’s and Nipha’s families were gathered to see them off, as were Izara and other close friends from school. The two girls were going to travel together, and with a group of people they already knew would be good teammates.


    After loading up her luggage, Luna made sure to give everyone a solid hug, which took a while.


    “Goodbye, everyone! I love you!” she called out.


    “I love you, too, sweetie!” Michelle called back to her.


    The carriage began to move once everyone was aboard.


    “And just like that, she’s gone,” Michelle said.


    Her wives hugged her.


    Nipha still hadn’t decided whether or not she wanted to be Queen, but she still had several years to decide. She was currently leaning in the direction of not going for it. Regardless of her decision, Luna would be by her side no matter what.


    Luna and Nipha actually had an advantage that most people didn’t have when traveling. Roumazi created a few permanent ice cubes for them that they could simply shatter if they were in trouble or just if they wanted to check in.


    I don’t normally miss having a cellphone, but right now I definitely do.


    “Moms, I’m going to the library,” Diamond said to them.


    “Okay. We’ll see you when you get home from work,” Sarah replied.


    The remaining teenager sighed and began walking back home. Elana had made great progress since leaving Earth behind, but she still had a lot of issues to work through. She enjoyed the quiet that alchemy provided her, and her Gift allowed her to rapidly shape materials and help in other, smaller ways. They had even experimented with her creating molds out of her barriers and then casting metal in them.


    The additions of Elana, Michael, and Liz to their workshop allowed them to increase production a bit, but they weren’t intending to become some kind of huge blacksmithing franchise or anything, so their current output was fine. Demand for more interesting gear was still gradually increasing, and other smithies were starting to take notice as well.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen.

    I can’t wait to see what people are wearing at the next tournament now that more interesting things are starting to catch on.


    Michelle had even finally managed to create wearable clothes out of her ice. She had originally intended to create durable clothing for use when riding her bike, but her armor was still the better option. Still, the ability to create regular clothing out of ice and snow was a lot of fun to play with. She just had to make sure it was entirely opaque, at least outside of the bedroom.


    She had the urge to go for a drive right now, but might unintentionally follow her daughter for a bit if she left, so she instead began walking home with everyone. The enchantment for the bike had been finished recently as well, so Michael had also had his share of fun driving it around.


    They were already working on a second version. They also considered eventually trying to build one entirely out of enchantments rather than relying on Michelle''s Gift, but it was still unclear if something that complex would even be possible.


    Having a sibling is nice, but then again, I didn’t grow up with him. Luna and Diamond hardly ever had any problems, though.


    Michael had tried going on a couple dates with people since moving here, but found himself much more interested in smithing at the moment.


    He also occasionally tried experimenting with wearing more feminine clothes now that he was no longer constrained by Earth''s ideas of what was appropriate, but still had no idea what he was really doing. But that was fine, and no one was forcing him to do anything. Michelle had long since gotten used to wearing whatever she felt like, whether it was masculine, feminine, or both, and Michael would also eventually reach that level of comfort.


    Liz was happier than she had ever been, also getting to fulfill her sword lesbian fantasies just like Amber. She hadn’t consistently been in a relationship with anyone so far, but was quite enjoying the freedom she now had. And she took to blacksmithing just as eagerly as her sister had.


    It’s interesting being on the teaching side of things. It really helps with my own learning.


    With the Gift Senava had abruptly received three years ago, she began looking more into how printers functioned and was working to improve them as a side project alongside some specialists.


    This was not only a favor for Sarah, but having that technology would also be highly beneficial for the Queendom as a whole.


    Sarah also decided to create a bookbinding tutorial with detailed illustrations from her wives. She then grew annoyed when it became her most popular book practically overnight. While there already were blank books for sale, many of them weren’t exactly formatted for writing stories, so there were many who found bookbinding an interesting idea. And writing things out by hand was much more common in this world where computers didn’t exist, which made it much more valuable.


    Sarah’s stories were gradually picking some regular readers. She was still quite far from being a famous author, but she was happy that people were interested. She was still self-publishing, but the demand was starting to be a bit much for just their family to make all the copies.


    She’ll probably have to talk to publishers again.


    Michelle hopped into the conversation pit with her wives. They were all feeling a little forlorn that one of their daughters was now on her own and the other would likely be moving out soon as well.


    Luna’s powerful and skilled, and we put everything we had into her armor and sword. She’ll be fine. She’s an adult now.


    She awoke several hours later by Michael opening the front door to let the royal throuple in.


    “Ahh, that looks cozy,” Senava said, seeing the Woods polycule all rubbing the sleep from their eyes.


    Roumazi laughed, “Sorry. A nap just seemed right, after seeing them off.”


    Rayna smiled. “I took one, too. Didn’t get to sleep in a pile, though,” she pouted at her wives.


    Amber yawned and stretched. “Game night?”


    “That’s still the plan, yes.”


    Elana stayed in her room for most of the night, but did come out to chat for a while. Diamond simply returned to her own room after her workday was finished. Michelle didn’t miss that the wolf paused for a moment before entering. The sisters had been by each other’s side for twelve years, after all.


    Be well, Luna. Come back with interesting stories.
