Some time later they fell asleep together and Maik drifted off to that place, the mental construct. Analytical was disappointed with the other 3 aspects impulsive behavior but quickly refocused on the matter at hand. They collectively started looking over the notifications from earlier that day.

Quite the eventful day. The Chi stat went up 51points and we have 141 alteration points remaining. And a boyfriend. Hee hee. The matting was successful. We thrive. 40 points into durability. Ohh No you don't. I admit the usefulness of Durability. However, The intelligence to process all the different skills and keep track of our surroundings has obviously become just as important. Maybe if we increased perception some more that would help as well ? We should decide if we want to be front line or caster first.
The various aspects of Maik's collective consciousness deliberated on the pros and cons of their various stats and what was needed going forward.
Ultimately the lilin decided to allocate 16 points to Strength, 25 Points to Durability, 25 points to Intelligence, 25 points to Smarts, 25 points to Perception and the last 25 points to Chi. With the choices finalized Maik decided to take a look at their progress thus far, before drifting off to deep slumber.
The lilin was ever so warm and cozy when they woke, wrapped in the arms of their new lover. But the sounds of the morning were upon them. As soon as Maik moved the giants grip tightened, not ready to let his knew bed warmer go so easily.
Maik giggles. "Huh ha ha. Come one. I'm comfy too but.." Maik stretches a little bit while still within Eugene's embrace. "UNNnnnn... We need to get up."
The giant shifts, lifting his left leg and then draping it over the lilins lower body while something hot and hard presses up against Maik rear. "Whoa there big fella. You know thaaAAHhhh..."
Maik had reached a hand back to pat their lover on the head but it seemed that he wasn't willing to just let his needs go unattended, even for the promise of breakfast. Half way through Maik's statement he attackers the lilins neck with strong kisses while rolling over and on top of Maik, pinning the lilin, face down, under him.
Maik reaches behind, caressing Eugene's body while the super sized Mexican starts grinding his shaft through the crack of Maik's behind. His hands roam over the lilins body in turn and Maik finally gives in. "Huff. Alright, Huff. But make it quick."
With that the Mexican giant pulls his head back to whisper into Maik's ear. "Lift that ass for me, and spread your legs a bit." Maik complies and Eugene pulls back before slipping his rod down between the lilins thighs, the tip grinding up and down Maik's slit.
The anticipation is torturous as Maik feels the heat of their lovers cock head rubbing over their entrance over and over. Eugene adjust the angle to put pressure on Maik's entrance but not quite enough to penetrate. Then resumes the repeated grinding. He does this 3 more times and at random moments, going as many as 14 strokes between each prodding.
Eventually Maik's so wet and bothered that they cant take it any more and the next time Eugene moves to prod the entrance, the lilin shifts as well, arching their back and pushing back to deliberately take the head of the Mexican giants rod inside. "GEEUHH Fuck."
Eugene slowly drives his rod the rest of the way to Maik's inner barrier and the lilin lets our a long and intense moan while taking his length and girth, hands gripping the bed and biting down on the pillow. "GURRRRRNNNnnnnnn."
Eugene bites down in Maik's neck where it meets the shoulder and the lilins body shudders, opening their mouth wide in a outcry of passion as the Mexican Giant starts taking Maik from behind. "HOHHhhhHOHHhhhHOHHhhhHOHHhhh"
The camper stared to shake ominously but Maik was lost in the sensation of morning sex. With every push the lilin could feel how Eugene was stretching them more and more, getting a tiny bit deeper each time. With a final push he lets out a grunt of satisfaction as he gets past the inner barrier and goes balls deep.

Eugene releases his mouth grip on Maik's neck so that he can lift his torso up off the lilin and start pounding away at his lover. After all, they had said to be quick.
Sheets ripped and Maik's hand makes a hole in the thin wall of the camper when they slap it. Something broke under them and Eugene had to grip the lilin by the hips before pulling them up in order to continue. They almost broke the camper right off the truck bed before the Mexican giant came to a shuttering stop inside Maik, releasing all new waves of liquid heat and energy inside the lilins womb.
The already fertilized eggs within the Fallopian tubes were flooded when Maik's abdomen flexed and contracted to pump Eugene seed towards a fresh pair of eggs that awaited fertilization. "GASP, HUFF, How, Huff. How many. Gasp. Babies are. Huff. You trying. Huff. To put. Gasp. In me ?"
His only response was to pull Maik's upper body back towards himself and then give the lilin a deep kiss from behind without pulling out.
10 minutes later they finally emerged from the camper and it was rather evident that everyone knew what had transpired between the two from how people were looking at them.
The regular morning routine followed, though Maik took it easy and focused more on education those assembled then on stretching and exercise, for obvious reasons.
Another round of Chi data packets were passed out after the morning meal and then they set about packing everything up so that they could collectively move the camp and its live stock to the farm they had retaken the day before.
Though there was an oddity. 4 of the 15 bodies that had been hung until dead were outright missing, not even just chewed up by some monster or another. People just figured that it was a result of some new, even bigger monster and moved on. Heck, half the live stock had gone though some form of change at this point, as well as the pets they had with them. House cats looked more like bobcats and one of the dogs even had a Chi ability that let them perform an empower jump.
The hulking animal was still a lovable lap dog with their owner though and had the most adorable puppy smile when someone scratched him behind the ears.
However, Even when they got back to the Townly farm their work wasn't done. The bodies of the enemy had to be processed, graves dug for the brave fallen and monsters removed form various bars while they saved what live stock could be saved.
The only dangerous moment came when a toad the size of a small car leaped out of the pond next to the Main house by the front entrance. The damn thing leaped 30 feet out of the water and over to pounce on a group of 3 people who went over to clean up the bodies. Thankfully Russel was with the group and managed to keep his footing long enough to unload a few rounds into the thing, driving it off. One of the other guys bad been knocked aside. The third guy was the one the toad and chomped at and it took the combined efforts of Maik and Stacy to save him.
However, by the time they were done with those tasks it had become clear that the houses and barns on the Townly farm were spaced too far apart. After the combined losses from the battle with the bandits and then the betrayal of the faithless they simply didn't have the numbers to hold the spacious farm any more. They would be better off going back to the horse farm where their camp had congregated.
There were enough sturdy barns close enough together that they could be fortified against both the weather and the monsters, allowing them to safe guard the live stock and themselves. It wouldn't be as comfortable and it would mean leaving their homes behind but they could make it work.
With grim determination the patriarch of the Townly farm swore to someday reclaim that land before they moved back to the location of the former camp but only after performing funeral rights.
That pretty much took up the whole day and the only gains Maik had to show for it was a few skill boosts.
Tier 3 skill advanced - Chi data packet - intermediate.
Tier 4 skill advanced - Sending - Effective.
Tier 4 skill advanced - Minor healing - effective.
Tier 5 special trait advanced - Flesh molding - Intermediate.
Tier 5 special trait advanced - Minor regeneration - Intermediate.
It seemed that after yesterday Maik only needed a little nudge to finish advancing the sending skills and doing another round of Chi data packets provided the extra push. Minor healing advanced while helping the poor toad attack victims and Maik just had to practice the flesh molding trait some more while they were digging the graves.
It also turned out that Maik was right on the cusp of advancing the Minor regeneration skill too and after healing from the swift kick to the face by a half starved and half crazed cow Maik received the notification. Good thing for the cow because the lilin was about ready to turn that bovine into a steak dinner after spitting out a few teeth. Those took over an hour to fully regenerate as bone took 10 times longer to regenerate than flesh.
In the end they were right back at the same camp, though now there were plans to start cannibalizing the Townly farm for resources. They would dismantle the fences for lumber to be used in fortifying the fences of the camp. Then start dismantling the houses and barns to build new structures. They were actually talking about founding a small farming town over dinner and Maik couldn't help but lean over to share their thoughts with their friends.
"Their talking like... Well like American has already fallen apart. Like they aren't a part of the Darrion county alliance..."
Maik searches the faces of their friends but their solemn and introspective faces offer little to dispute the patriarchs point of view. Eugene just reaches an arm around Maik's should and pulls them in for a hug before kissing the top of the lilins head.
Eventually James speaks up, his eyes glued to the deck of cards, Sara's deck of cards, which he twiddles between his fingers. "I... I used to believe that things were going to go back to normal, just like Boyd said... That this was just a natural disaster that would pass." He went silent after that. There was no need for him to continue the thought. That fact that this belief was past tense now having said all that needed to be said on the matter.
The jock had been a late teen when magic became a thing, they all had been late teens. legally adults, but yet to even finish high school. But they could no longer claim such a thing. Even Stacy, who had only wanted to be a healer, had killed at this point. Multiple times. When your a front line healer and the enemy closes to melee range you either have to fight, or become a casualty of the battle.
She sniffed and then spoke those thoughts out loud. "Jose and Sara. Ehem. I'm here because I learned to defend myself, not just to heal but to kill."
She looked each of her friends in the eyes in turn, her eyes ultimately locking with Maik's. "You urged me to become stronger and that's what I did. I became stronger is what ever way was needed to survive in this new world. They didn't do that.... And now their gone. The old world is gone. Our old lives, are gone."
She looked over to where Townly was standing silent and the group suddenly realized that they were the center of attention. At some point the patriarch had stopped talking about the future and started listening in on their conversation and everyone else had followed suit.
Now the once old man, now a strong man in his prime with ink black hair and fare more prominent native American features filled the quiet once more. "Well said young lady. As the young Chi instructor put it, we are not a herd of sheep waiting on a shepherd. Such a flock is only food for the monsters that now swarm our lands. We, all of us, must have the strength and will to forge our own destiny, lest we be swept aside by the tides of change."
That evening was nothing special either, aside from David trying to separate the two love birds. Eugene went giant sized and stepped right up in front of the squad leader. "Excuse me, but I'm not sure I heard you right."
Diplomatically, David explained that they had ruined the camper and living space was limited. So either they were splitting up or sharing space in one of the barns. The two decided to go with the barn and just cuddled that night.
Tier 3 skill advanced - Chi data packet - intermediate. + 18 alteration points. + 10 Chi
Tier 4 skill advanced - Sending - Effective. + 28 alteration points. + 14 Chi
Tier 4 skill advanced - Minor healing - effective. + 28 alteration points. + 14 Chi
Tier 5 special trait advanced - Flesh molding - Intermediate. + 24 alteration points. + 10 Endurance.
Tier 5 special trait advanced - Minor regeneration - Intermediate. + 24 alteration points. ? 10 Durability.
Despite only advancing 5 skills Maik saw that they had still gained 122 alteration points. The usual arguments were made by Maik's various aspects but ultimately they decided upon 20 to Strength, 20 to Endurance, 20 to Durability, 20 to Intelligence and 22 to Aura.
The next morning, squad leader David wanted to roll out but Maik and the others weren't ready to leave yet. As James and put it. "Before Townly farm we thought that this mission was just going to the last thing we needed to do in order to get back to our families... And then life would go back to a semblance of normal, you know. But that's not going to happen. Is it ?"
Maik picked up from there. "Were going to have to rebuild our lives and maybe even society. Why not start here ?"
Thus began a new normal for the group where Maik would spend time each day working on innovating cultivation and Chi skills which would then be taught directly to the others or shared with the wider population of the camp though Chi data packets.
Stacy would work closely with Maik on this and act as the head healer, focusing on reaching Maik's level, at least in that aspect. The others helped in stripping the Townly farm for building materials and constructing a true farming settlement. Thanks to Chi skills and enhanced attributes the work proceeded quickly. This was doubly so due to the fact that these farmers had not one for 7 copies of The Book. A compendium on how to rebuild society form scratch.
People just kind of ignored the ever growing size of the moon at this point, despite the fact it was close enough now to fill half of the sky line. If it hit, then it hit. There really wasn't anything anyone could do to change the outcome so the People the newly founded Ranchers bastion settlement collectively decided to have faith that the moon would not hit the earth and that life would go on.
Thus they acted accordingly. They tended to their animals, Planted crops, tended the fields, built lasting structures and were good to each other. They also partied every evening meal. Eternally thankful for every last moment together.
Over the radio they heard stories of show downs similar to the one they endured with the bandits. Their were even more stories of despair as people proclaimed this the end of days and just gave up.
On the second day after they new normal was established a group of 28 showed up. They were from the church half way between Ranchers bastion and Botala. They heard that the people here still had faith that everything would be alright if they just held on and these 28 people wanted in on that.
Apparently many of the others at the Church had lost faith and were engaging in all manor of self destructive behavior. "Its why we don't have much in the way of supplies. We had to organize a big party and get pretty much everyone else shit faced drunk in order to get away unnoticed. The Preacher tried to leave with his family to come here yesterday but the biker boss beat him to death for trying to, quote, abandon the church."
The look of shame on the mans face was palpable when Townly confronted him about that point. "So let me get this strait. You failed to help Your preacher, in his time of need, while your gang leader beat him to death and now you want us to let you join our settlement ? Is that about the gist of it ?"
The man leading the 28 was joined by his wife who was leading 3 children over and she spoke for them. "The gang leaders name is Darrel and his men were the only ones with guns at the church. My husband was outnumbered 3 to 1. These.." She hugs the children to her. "Are William, Christie and Samantha. The departed Preacher Farllon's Children."
The icy glare in the patriarchs eyes thawed considerably while looking at the children. Still he had to ask. "And the preachers wife ?"
Tears ran down the woman's face. "She stayed behind to distract Darrel. He had taken her as his prize for becoming the Churches new pastor and she played no small part in helping us escape.
Townly and the rest of the town counsel spoke directly with the children after that to get the other 25s measure. All the following day each and every one of the remaining 25 were interviewed and vetted.
At first people protested. Then they were shown the corpse tree where the faithless had been hanged while the settlements new matriarch, Miss Weathers, explained why the bodies were up there. She further explained that if anyone didn't like how things were done in Ranchers bastion then they weren't just free to leave but then would be forcibly ejected from the settlement with extreme prejudices. They complied after that.
That was, except one that is. It was to no ones surprise that he failed the interview process either. In fact he hadn't even been invited but was the brother of one of the woman who had come and had discovered them in mid escape so they had brought him along. There had been debate about just feeding his ass to the monsters and being done with it but the sister still pleaded for his life, so the man was released and even allowed to take one of the trucks with him.
And like that, Ranchers bastion now had a population of 103 + the 8 temporary residence of Maik's group. That and only 3 days left until the moon would either pass earth by to smash into it according to Boyd's original calculation.
Some experts had stated that the Moon would pass them by the first time but come back and strike. Others said it would hit in the first pass. Some even said it wouldn't matter and Maik supposed that it didn't. It didn't change that fact that cows still needed milking first thing in the morning or that the lilin was now with child.
