There will no longer be different currencies with different values. Every country will issue each adult and working student a credit debit card. All earnings will be placed on the card in credits. All credits will be valued at the same rate.
You've tested my patience long enough. You're running out of time people."
Bob nodded at Athena. She cut the outgoing link.
Cassandra's eyes had been roaming from monitor to monitor. Suddenly she froze, staring at one particular monitor. She watched it for a few seconds. "Bob, can you have Athena switch to thirty one for me please."
Bob looked at Cassandra. "Sure sweetie. But why?"
"I wanna hear what SHE has to say," Cassandra said. Pointing to the monitor.
Bob looked at the monitor. There was a beautiful brunette reporter talking to a man. Bob had Athena switch to the monitor.
Cassandra leaned forward a little listening to their conversation. After a minute or so she said, "I like her. She's bright, articulate, and stands her ground. She's perfect! Invite her to come here please."
Bob was stunned. "What? Why would I want to do that?"
"Please listen to me my love. You need a spokesperson. Someone the people of Earth can relate to. I may not know her name, but I've seen her face a few times. Look at her. Listen to her voice, the way she asks her questions. I'm telling you, I think she's perfect for the job."
"I'm not sure about this. But you think it's important. You're really adamant about it.
Why don't you go invite her here personally? You can port there and back on your own now."
"I can? How?"
"Cast a portal and step through it. Do the same thing to get back. Just make sure she steps through it first. Don't worry, I'll be watching."
Cassandra cast her portal appearing a few feet in front of the reporter.
The reporter gasped in shock. "You... you're the one who..."
Cassandra interrupted her. "I am. My name's Cassandra. I mean you no harm. I came to invite you to meet Creation's Guardian. A one on one interview. The invitation extends only to you and you must decide now."
It took the reporter all of about ten seconds to make up her mind. She was a rookie, fresh out of journalism school. An interview like this could make her career. "Okay I'll do it. How do we get there?"
Cassandra cast a portal. "just step through the portal. He's waiting on the other side. Don't worry, I'll be right behind you."
The reporter made the sign of the cross as she dived through the portal. She would have fallen flat on her face but Bob had seen her running dive through Cassandra's portal and used his magic to steady her.
Bob stood holding out his hand for her to shake. "Hello, my name's Bob. I'm Creation's Guardian. Welcome to Neuveia. What's your name girl?"
The reporter nearly jumped out of her skin as Cassandra appeared beside her. "I'm Stacy... Stacy Rodgers , Your Majesty."
"Well Stacy, Stacy Rodgers, my wife promised you an interview. I'm gonna take a break for an hour or so to clear my head. Then I'll need another half hour to check on Earth. After that I'll be free to give you as much time as you want for your interview.
"It's just Stacy Rodgers Your Majesty. I was a little flustered and repeated my first name twice. Waiting an hour and a half or so to do the interview isn't a problem. It'll give me some time to sort out what questions to ask you."
"Good. All right everybody, break time. I'm going down to the beach."
Cassandra, Kadir, and Aphrodite made their battle gear disappear as they yelled "YAY!"
Bob, Aphrodite, and Stacy sat at the picnic table watching as Cassandra and Kadir walked out to say hello to the dolphins.
Stacy was amazed. "are they actually talking to each other?"
Bob replied, "yes. They understand each other perfectly. Cassandra's Neuveia's queen and Kadir's Neuveia's princess. They love the dolphins and the dolphins love them."
"It's so beautiful here. Where are we? I mean where's Neuveia? It almost looks like we're still on Earth."
"That's because Neuveia's Earth's twin. It's about a hundred thousand light years from Earth. It was created because there are some people who don't deserve to die if I decide Earth has to be destroyed."
"I don't understand. What makes Earth so bad you'd have to destroy it?"
"Look around you Stacy. See how clear the water is? How fresh the air smells? Can you feel the peace and quiet, the serenity of the whole planet? This is what Earth should be like. It's not the Earth that's bad Stacy. It's the people living there.
Humans are a selfish, greedy, cruel, savage race that needs to be tamed. You've made the whole planet little more than a toxic waste dump.
The water isn't fit to drink. The air isn't fit to breathe and the land is full of poisonous chemicals.
You have all these so called religious leaders trying to ram their particular version of a religion down everyone's throat. Then there's a bunch of different political factions fighting over money, power and prestige. None of them care about anything other than themselves. The sad fact is, things have gotten this way because people have become too compliant. They don't wanna make the hard decisions. They allow the greedy corporations and corrupt politicians to do it for them. I don't have enough time right now to give you the whole list of Earth's problems. I think you know most of them anyway. I don't wanna destroy the Earth Stacy. But I will if I have to."
"All of this has been going on for hundreds of years. What makes it so important to do something about it now?"
"That's the point Stacy. It's been going on far to long. My boss is tired of it all. But she has a soft spot for humans. Instead of just destroying you like she normally would, she wants me to try and salvage what I can."
"You have a boss? Who is she? Is she a goddess or something like that?"
"Yes I have a boss Stacy. She's not a goddess. I guess you could call her the maker of all things. She created all the gods and goddesses including yours.
Bob looked at Aphrodite. "I'm sorry sweet cheeks. I've been a bit rude. I should have introduced you two sooner. Why don't you tell Stacy who you are. Maybe it'll help her understand how much trouble Earth's really in."
Aphrodite replied, "Okay lover. But I doubt she'll believe me." Aphrodite turned to Stacy. "Hello Stacy. I'm Cassandra's mother. My name's Aphrodite. I'm the goddess of love. I live on Olympus. But right now, I'm doing everything I can to help Bob with Earth."
Stacy rolled her eyes. "Yeah right. Sure you are."
Aphrodite shrugged. "I told you she wouldn't believe me lover."
"Bob yelled, "Cassandra, could you come here a minute please?"
Cassandra ran to Bob. "Yes master?"
Bob pointed to Aphrodite "Could you please tell Stacy who this is?"
Cassandra smiled. "She's my mother. Her name's Aphrodite. Stacy this isn't Earth. You're gonna see and hear a lot of things that will be hard to believe. My mother is exactly who she says she is.
Come with me, I'll introduce you to the other Olympians that are here, and a few of the Djinn as well."
A few minutes later Cassandra and Stacy returned along with Kadir.
Stacy said, "I'm sorry I didn't believe you Aphrodite. I've always thought the Olympians and Djinn were myths. I guess I have a lot to learn."
Aphrodite replied, "don't worry about it Stacy. I never expected you to believe me. Besides, if my spoiled brat of daughter gets her way, which she usually does, you'll have plenty of time to learn about all of us."
Stacy gave Aphrodite a quizzical look. "Okay, now you've lost me. What's that supposed to mean?"
Bob spoke up. "It means my darling wife has been pushing very hard for me to offer you a job working for me here on Neuveia. But we'll talk about that later.
Right now, it's time to get back to the war room and check on Earth. Okay everybody, break's over."
Bob sat chuckling as his eyes scanned the front screens. "I guess those jumpsuits are having the desired effect," He made a chair appear across from him. "Have a seat Stacy."
Cassandra giggled. "Maybe. But I think my idea of forbidding clothes completely would have worked better."
"I thought about doing that. But there are some places on Earth where it's not practical."
Stacy frowned. "I can understand most of what you've done. But I don't understand the reasoning behind the jumpsuits. Sexual harassment is a major problem and those jumpsuits are only gonna make it worse."
Bob replied, "It's about actions and consequences Stacy. They refused to obey my orders. The jumpsuits are a consequence of that action. But you're right about the sexual harassment. I hadn't thought about that. I also forgot about athletes. They can't wear their gear."
Bob turned to Athena. "Tie me in to everybody just like you did last time sexy thing."
Athena replied, "you're tied in worldwide, Your Majesty."
"Okay people, I know you're uncomfortable wearing those jumpsuits. I could care less about that. But sexual harassment, bullying, and hazing will not be tolerated. Anyone doing so will feel like an elephant just stomped on their groin. The pain will get more intense lasting longer each time.
Athletes will be able to wear their gear as long as they're participating in a sport inside a sports facility. However, they must remove their gear before leaving the sports facility or it will disappear and have to be replaced."
Bob smiled at Stacy. "Thank you for reminding me of that Stacy. What do you think of my solution?"
Stacy giggled. "Feeling like you've been kicked in the balls by an elephant will definitely put a damper on sexual harassment, bullying, and hazing. But I still don't understand your reasoning behind the jumpsuits."
"If all I had to do was to stop the human race from self-destructing, my job would be done. But I'm trying to bring peace and prosperity to Earth as well. To do that, I need to overcome all the hatreds and racism people have towards each other. By forcing everyone to be dressed the same way, I'm leveling the playing field some. Everybody's in the same boat. I'm hoping it helps people see that no matter how rich or how poor, they're all humans."
"Wow! That's an ambitious agenda. I don't envy you that task at all. You're trying to undo centuries of human conditioning. I'm not sure that's possible, even for you."
"Nothing good ever comes easy Stacy. You're right, I don't have the power to directly affect people's feelings. But what I can do is make it impossible for them to act on those feelings. I know it's hard to believe, but I was born and brought up on Earth. I'm not sure exactly what I am now, but I was once a human being. I understand the hatred, the racism, and the prejudices all too well. Frankly, a lot of the time people bring it on themselves.
Take me for example. Right about now I'd bet that almost every person on Earth hates me. Especially the Muslims. Most of my commands are gonna have a huge impact on their little corner of the world.
As far as I'm concerned, organized religion is as big a threat to human existence as the nukes were. Look back through Earth's history. Organized religion has caused almost as much pain, suffering, and death as wars. The crusades, the Spanish inquisition, the Nazis and the Jews, the Muslims and the Israelis, the Muslims and the Christians, the Muslims and the Muslims. That's only a partial list.
I don't think any religion is better or worse than the next one. I don't care what god people worship. That's their own business. My problem is that they always wanna kill each other over it.
I can't let myself get bogged down in the different shades of gray that stir Earth's conflicts. I have to see things as black or white, right or wrong. Otherwise, I'll run out of time and Earth will be destroyed. If not by me, then by my boss."
Bob scanned the front monitors. "Everything's quiet right now. All right everyone, I'm gonna call it a day. Let's go down to the beach and have a barbecue. Be back here at eight in the morning."
Bob stood and stretched. Stacy blushed, noticing for the first time that Bob was naked. His enormous cock was hanging directly at her eye level less than a foot from her face. She glanced down at herself and blushed an even deeper shade of red when she realized he wasn't the only one showing everything they owned!
Cassandra noticed Stacy blushing and giggled as they walked to the beach. "Stacy, you've been talking to my husband for over two hours. His magnificent cock has been flapping in the breeze all that time. Don't you think it's a little late to blush now?"
Stacy giggled. "I um...I guess I was too fascinated by everything that's going on to notice before. In fact I just realized he's not the only one letting it all hang out. I've been to a few nude beaches and done my share of skinny dipping with the guys. So the nudity doesn't make me uncomfortable. It's the casualness of it all that caught me by surprise. I've never seen a cock that big before. That kinda caught my attention real quick," she laughed.
Bob looked at the two of them as he set the potatoes and corn on the grill to roast. "Hey you two, I'm more than just a hunk of meat ya know."
Cassandra's eyes sparkled with mischief as she kissed him on the cheek. "I know that master. But maybe later you can satisfy Stacy's curiosity by letting her go for a ride on your beautiful cock."
Stacy stuttered, "but, but, I thought he was your husband."
Cassandra replied, "he is. But he's also my king and my master. You have a gorgeous body. If you want to use it to bring him pleasure, I see no reason to object. I'm sure he won't mind letting you take a ride on that monster,"she giggled.
"You wouldn't get jealous?"
"Of course not. Jealousy is such an ugly emotion. I love him with every fiber of my being. I have since the first time I saw him. I could never deny him the pleasure another woman would give him."
Cassandra smiled. "My mother's right, he does spoil me rotten. Not with material things, with his unconditional love." She went on to tell Stacy how she and Bob met, about their first few days together, how even then, he made her feel like a queen.
Stacy laughed when Cassandra told her about how she tricked Aphrodite into fucking Bob that first time. "I wondered why your mother calls him lover. Now I understand," she giggled.
"That's only the beginning Stacy. Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera are carrying his children. They're all having twins. Once these six are born, he plans on impregnating Artemis, Demeter, and Hestia with twins too."
"That doesn't bother you at all?"
"Not in the least. As a matter of fact, I told him to do it. If you decide to satisfy your curiosity, you'll be in for the ride of your life. I promise you won't regret it."
Stacy glanced at Bob's enormous cock licking her lips. "That's a very tempting offer Cassandra. But I'm in the fertile part of my cycle right now. I don't believe in using birth control. A pregnancy is the last thing I need."
"I understand how you feel Stacy. I'm not ready to start having children either. But you needn't worry about that. He has the ability to control if he impregnates someone and he would never do it without your permission."
"In that case..."Stacy licked her lips again. "I might just take you up on that offer," she giggled.
Bob looked over at Cassandra and Stacy. "If you two are done talking about me like I'm some prize winning bull, dinner's ready."
Both women giggled. Stacy said, "good, I haven't eaten all day. I'm starving!"
Bob replied, "I apologize for that Stacy. None of us require food or drink to survive. I've gotten so used to it that it slipped my mind you do."
"I don't understand. If you don't need to eat, why have a barbecue?"
"Just because we don't need it doesn't mean we can't still enjoy it Stacy. The food is good. The company is great and it helps us unwind from the stress of dealing with Earth's bullshit all day."
Cassandra giggled. "Yeah, and I love those chocolaty, chewy, gooey, crunchy things that come later."
Bob chuckled. "Cassandra's talking about s'mores Stacy."
"Oh my god! I love s'mores too," Stacy replied.
After dinner Cassandra said to Kadir, "come on sis, let's go introduce Stacy to our friends in the water."
Cassandra took one of Stacy's hands while Kadir took the other. When the water was waist deep, Cassandra called softly to the dolphins. "Come my children, say hello to our new friend."
The dolphins paused their playing swimming slowly over to Cassandra. They looked at Stacy for a few seconds then each one nuzzled Stacy's hand. They swam a few feet away then jumped in the air splashing the three women. Afterwards they stood on their tails chattering away as if laughing at them.
Cassandra looked over at Stacy with a smile. "Well that settles it. The dolphins say you're one of us. You just don't know it yet."
"I have no clue what that's supposed to mean," Stacy replied.
"It means they like you. They've accepted you as one of the family. It seems they know something we don't. Because they're not just saying hello, they're welcoming you to your new home."
Before Stacy could answer, both Destiny and Life appeared on the beach. Cassandra sighed deeply. "Now what?"
"Who are they Cassandra? Are you expecting trouble," Stacy asked.
"They're the fates, Destiny and Life. Normally we only see one at a time. Usually it means the boss wants my master to do something. They're both here this time so it must be something big."
Cassandra was shocked when Destiny and Life didn't go straight to the picnic table where Bob was sitting, waiting instead for Cassandra, Kadir, and Stacy to reach the shore.
Destiny and Life both hugged Cassandra, each giving her a kiss on the cheek. Destiny said, "we're all very proud of you my child. You're doing a wonderful job as Neuveia's queen. Mother thinks your idea is brilliant. She also agrees with you that Stacy would be great for what you have in mind.
But there are a few things you haven't thought about. Your husband has thought about them though and that's part of the reason he's been hesitating. So we're here to see if we can help you out by solving a few of his problems. Let me talk to him for a few minutes and we'll go from there."
"Okay, but please, don't dump any more bullshit in his lap. He's got enough problems dealing with Earth."
Destiny kissed Cassandra on the cheek again. "I promise, no bullshit. We're just here to help."
Bob had been watching the interaction between Cassandra and Destiny with interest. He stood as Destiny jogged over to him. "Hi Destiny. What's up now?"
Destiny pulled him in for a hug kissing his cheek. "Don't worry little brother, we're only here to help you decide what to do about Stacy. Mother loves the idea. She thinks Stacy's perfect for the job. But we understand why you've been hesitating. Stacy has a relatively short life span compared to yours. You don't wanna get attached to her because her mind and body will age and she'll eventually die. You don't wanna lose another loved one, we realize all of that. If you decide to offer Stacy the job adding her to your stable, and if Stacy accepts, mother has given us permission to offer Stacy eternal youth and immortality. We'll insure there's no jealousy issues and no discord as well.
"There's only one condition. Her position will require absolute loyalty to you. She'll have to become a bound servant similar to Kadir. But without the ring. Her spirit and her loyalty will be bound to you eternally. If you decide not to add her to your stable by not offering her the job, simply do the interview and send her back to Earth."
Cassandra's been really adamant about this. She has her heart set on it. I can't just send Stacy back to Earth without at least making the offer." Bob looked over where Cassandra stood with the other women. "All right ladies, come over here. We need to talk." He gave Life a hug kissing her cheek. "Hi sis. Everyone have a seat, this is gonna take a bit." He took a deep breath letting it out slowly. Then looked at Stacy. "I'm gonna make you an offer. I want you to listen very closely. If you accept, it's gonna mean some major changes in your life. I'd like you to be my media spokesperson. But more than that, you're a very beautiful woman. I wanna add you to my stable. If you accept my offer, Life and Destiny are prepared to offer you eternal youth, beauty, and immortality on the condition that you become a bound servant like Kadir. Let me be clear on this, you can't accept the job without agreeing to the whole package. You're free to decline of course. But if you do, when we finish with your interview, I'll have to return you to Earth."
