Before waking, Jay had been having pleasant dreams, but these were filled with visions of his children and even grandchildren playing in the new forests that they were seeding across the surface of New Earth. The name might be lame, but the place most certainly was not, and it provided them with a reminder of where they came from.
Fifteen years had passed since they settled onto New Earth. Jay periodically checked on the other human settlements spread throughout the universe, but most of them were far enough away that he didn’t bother checking in more than once a year. Many of them were even hostile to him.
Not outrightly hostile to him, because, well, they wanted to keep living. That didn’t mean they weren’t hostile. The list of grievances against him were as varied as those with the complaints. Even after fifteen years many of the sleepers were having trouble adjusting. Part of Jay couldn’t blame them. After all they had woken to find that everyone and everything they knew was gone, including their planet.
Of course, so had he and his team, but they had to fight through all the hell to make a safe world for the sleepers to wake up in. So that distinctly lessened his sympathy.
Beyond complaints of things not being the way they wanted them to be, the biggest issue he heard about was why couldn’t Jay turn the rest of them into “god-like” figures. Most of the time, Jay tried to give them a diplomatic answer, but a few times it came down to an amazingly simple, “Because, I don’t trust you.”
He also had to visit the Tamoori home world every couple of months. Eesa missed being around her people despite having brought a couple dozen of their people to New Earth. Sure, she had integrated remarkably well into their family and growing society. But she was still different. She knew it and they knew it.
Jay dreaded what might happen at some point in the future when a distinction might be drawn between his half-Tamoori children and his purely evolved human children. It was a problem for another day though. Today had enough to keep him occupied.
Today, children should be allowed to be children. And why not. Yes, they had some special abilities, but they didn’t have implants or stimulants to push there bodies to further evolutions. They had what they had, and Jay thought that was for the best.
Jay pushed those concerns out of his mind though. He and his wives had worked tirelessly making safe worlds for each of the other human colonies. They had striven to make sure that the people on each world would be on an equal footing. They had even put the other worlds before their own. Now, those worlds would rise or fall on their own merit.
His thoughts were brought back into the moment as he felt a hand subtly sneak under the sheet and down between his legs. He smiled, even after the threats were gone and evolved humanity stood atop the food chain in the known universe, he was still wanted. He was loved and he loved in return. Could there be any better feeling in the world?
Jay knew he needed to go out and help with reshaping the planet’s topography. There was a mountain that needed to be shifted to create a better tropical zone. But the only mountains he was interested in now were pressed against his skin sending shivers down his spine.
Having a harem was better than he ever imagined, and it was good to be the king. He was no lecher, he was just a man in love, many times over.
THANKS FOR READING DESCEND- SEEING STARS
This wraps up the adventures of Jay and his harem, although there is a story in my mind that I’d like to tell about their universe in the distant future. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we get to visit them once again.
