"Well, we should get going. Best not to keep my people waiting.

" Yue exclaims excitedly, looking forward to what comes next.

nAfter the two others stood up, Yue put his hands on each of their shoulders with a smile, and the key in his hand, he pushes it against his thumb. Thus teleporting all three of them at the same time onto the roof of one of the building around the town square (circle).

nUpon arriving, he removes his hands from their shoulder, and says louder than normal.

"Hello everyone, I apologize for being late. A few things happened, starting with the moon wanting to kill me, as I am sure you already know. Then next, traveling to the moon by accident, and making a compromise. After that, getting shot back down to earth, even bumping into a few asteroids along the way, by the way, for future reference, does not feel the best running into an asteroid at high speeds....

"

"Next, landing in the ocean, meeting pirates, then here I am. Sorry if it is more than you wanted to know. However in case you wanted to know where I was now you know. Now to the main point, there are two projects, maybe three depending on your answer.

" Yueliang says after giving an abridged version of what happened.

nA few seconds later, Yueliang continues.

"So the first project I would like you to work on will either be one or two parts based on your choice so listen closely. I would like you to build onto this town, we will cut around it, and make legs for it. If we can make this town move freely it will help in various ways in the future. Now for the choice part. Do you want to come with me, or stay where when I one day leave in the future? I will have a screen pop up before you, just choose as you desire.

"

nYang, then produces a screen before each of them saying. 'Do you want to go with Yueliang into space or stay on this planet? Choose carefully, as this will choose your future path. YES - NO

n---- About 2 Minutes Later ----

nYang says to Yue.

"The votes are in, and the majority of them have chosen to .... stay here.

"

nHearing this, Yue says.

"Do not worry if you want to come with me, feel free to join me. Those who wish to stay, as I said before I will come and check in on you periodically. Now, since the majority has chosen to stay, that will be less work, but the legs on the town are no longer needed as the town will not be moving all the time.

"

nContinuing, Yue comments.

"The last project is because I have seen the joy it brings, as well as how it helps. Thus I would like you to create a few small arenas, and one coliseum for large events. Also, for those who win, you will be able to earn credits, as well as the currency of this world. Also, a few more things to be built, are a water park, and a few training facilities. If I have learned anything from recent events, it is that if you all do not become stronger, as well as myself. One day I may have to watch you get taken or killed before me, and that is not something I want to watch. That is all I have to say, you are dismissed.

"

nFeeling the seriousness in the air, they all left, except Yue, Yin, and Rei, who just sat on the edge of the roof.

nRei speaks up, to voice his opinion.

"You might be giving us the push we need, but never wanted to accept. Our race has lived millennia, just focusing on tech, as well as learning a little about magic and chi. You see, we never cared for war, and hoped the tech, and our allies, could do everything for us, while we enjoy indulging in our research. However, it seems we may finally have to accept that in order to grow further, and protect what we care about, we have to fight.

"

nVoicing his thoughts next, Yin says.

"To be able to have lived your lives that way, this long, is already a miracle. Although, I am sure in the long run, this will help your people.

"

n

"I am glad, you are so accepting, however the question is, how well the rest will accept it? Meanwhile, I am sure the goblins will happily do it, in order to not be pushed around like before.

" Yue says, feeling that he may have been too quick to try and improve everyones' lives.

nLooking at Yues' face, Yin says.

"Fret not, as the day will come when they are grateful for this. You will learn, that it is the rulers who have to make the hard decision to help their people, just as parents make difficult choices for their children's futures.

"

nStill feeling a bit conflicted, he speaks his mind.

"You are probably right. It is just that I do not want to force any of you to do anything you do not want to do. Therefore, doing this, while it is right in the long run, it feels as though I have rushed this.

"

n

"One will not be a perfect leader in a day, unless they are born with the experience, knowledge, and skills, as well as everything else one needs. There is much more to being a good leader than just the things mentioned. You see, unlike many before you who worked over a short time up to the point that they became great leaders, you are not in a situation that will groom you to be as such. Thus it will take a little longer, just give it time, and one day you will obtain that which you seek.

" Rei comforts him.

nHearing this, Yue knew he was right, and pushed himself off of the second story roof. Landing on the ground as if he never fell, he looks up and asks with a smile.

"You coming?

"

nThe two jump down after giving each other a questioning glance. Once again landing perfectly as if they had never fallen, Yin asks before Rei can open his mouth.

"Where are we going now?

"

n

"Blakes' Gourmet of course. Where else has such great entertainment, as well as the best food?

" Yue asks as if there was such a place, before saying.

"Plus, the place is so aesthetically pleasing.

"

n

"By the way, what are the animals up to?

" Rei asks a question that has been on his mind since the beginning of the meeting.

nYue looks around before saying.

"No idea, but now that you mention it, I have not seen them since yesterday, when I told them to go and tell everyone about the meeting. After we eat, I will go look for them.

"

nFinishing what he had to say, the three, start walking out of the beautiful lush green area. Many beautiful flowery herbs, and other plants all around, making the place look like a utopia. Yet even with so many plants, not a single leaf looked out of place, as they all worked in harmony to create such an environment, that it did not look over run or messy.

nMaking their way to the restaurant, the three laughed, and talked the whole way. Even telling each other more about each of their respective home worlds.

nStopping in his tracks, Yue and Rei, stop as well. Yin then says.

"Instead of going to Blakes' Place, how about somewhere different this time? While I do enjoy my time there, every time we visit, I heard of this place, where you can design a cake. Supposedly it is fun, delicious, and made out of things that will not give you diabetes at the drop of a hat.

"

nThen Rei speaks up saying.

"While I have yet to go to Blakes' Gourmet myself, it does sound like fun. So do we make them as well, or just decorate?

"

nQuickly answering Yin says.

"Supposedly they are already made, but there are different flavors, types, and what not. However if you want a custom one, they do that as well, so I hear.

"

nThis time Yue nods in agreement, staying silent, and pulling out a knife from his inventory. Then he starts trying to spin it on his finger tips. Seeing this, the other two, just take it as agreement, and then Yue and Rei, just follow Yin.

nAs they change direction to go to the other place, Yue notices that he has succeeded in spinning it, so while walking and doing this, as it slows down and falls, he starts flipping it between his fingers, before putting it away, and thinking. 'Well, that was easier than expected. I guess I should have expected as much, considering I used to do the same thing with my pens back in the university when I was bored. Anyways, this place seems like it will be fun.'
