Humans were strange, and Sahara found this out pretty early...Sometimes they do the craziest things, and it could be connected to quite a few others...
There had to be a way to silently protect the women of Green Haven so that nothing too bad happened to them...Maybe we just needed...More of them...More…Women…
"Sahara?"
Sahara jumped to Matthew's voice and dropped the piece of parchment.
Picking it up, Matthew saw Sahara's input at the bottom and frowned.
Looking around, Sahara saw that everyone else had practically gone...
What happened!?
"We are finished."
Rubbing her eyes, Sahara felt weird, had she slept?
Getting picked up by Matthew, while he still had the parchment, they walked towards their small dwelling and Sahara leaned into him.
Had I starved myself into sleep?
"My dear, you were snoring so loud that the men started to laugh. I told them that if they have no idea on what was going on that they could leave, and some did...The others that stayed, I quickly asked a few questions and got some more names on this other parchment, so I didn't have to disturb you."
Sahara was deflated, she didn't even know that she'd fallen asleep! "Oh..."
"You're getting tired quickly. You said you didn't need your nap during the day, but I'm starting to think that you do."
Matthew was right, she felt like she hadn't needed it, but did it anyway. But now, it just sorta took over her and she goes offline!
Sahara suddenly felt like she might have to slow down a bit more.
Even though she didn't feel like she was doing anything too strenuous, it still seemed that whatever she was doing, was still enough to tucker her out!
"I should punish my child for making you so tired!" Matthew said in a grumble.
Sahara lazily laughed, "He's happy, so leave him alone!"
"Mmm, well I'll get dinner for everyone started now, so you rest."
Putting her down on their bed, Matthew kissed her forehead and his hidden son, and went to walk out. The sun wasn't gone, but it was starting to get dark, it looked like they were in for a storm soon.
Sahara ignored Matthew’s good will and got up, hurriedly following him, "Even though it's still mid-afternoon, I think we should hurry dinner a little earlier than normal."
Feeding five thousand people usually took two to three hours, even though she had heaps of helpers, but Sahara did not want to wait longer today.
Before she helped make dinner, with everyone else, Sahara pulled down the flag and stored it away. Luckily, she had remembered it before it started to rain, as it wasn’t wet, just a bit cold and wouldn’t have been easy to store if it had gotten damp. Being able to use her spiritual essence to take it down, fold it and place it nicely into a big chest, the job was done within five minutes, and she rushed off towards everyone making dinner…
After dinner was ready, that was when the rain started. Luckily, they had many places to eat and sleep now, without getting wet, but at least they weren't going to line up and wait to get their meal, while it was raining heavily.
Sahara sighed, she was told to lay down, but she was glad that she had been stubborn and helped out with dinner. Once again it was an instinct thing…
Having less chance for them to get wet, the people shouldn't get sick, so they should be fine...She wasn’t the only ‘doctor’ here, but people do prefer her unique way of healing, better than that of the other doctor, but it really gave her more work to do!
If the people could be prevented from getting sick, then she shouldn’t have to worry about healing them!
After all, wasn’t prevention the best medicine!?
After personally finishing their own dinner, Matthew came towards Sahara with a blanket and put it over her, as a slight wind came at her sometimes. "This won't be good for your men. It started to rain where they are too..."
Matthew sighed in surprise and questioned, "But what are we to do?"
Actually, Sahara was surprised at how big this storm was…She had come across a storm before that had covered the entire Green Haven, but this storm did in fact reach the people traveling here in the huge, land area. And they were still near two weeks away from here!
There was a difference though, as they had only started to get rain at least an hour after the rain had started here. Sahara didn’t know this, but as she can put a star high up in the air, it could be easily figured out that Purple Haven received the storm before the people traveling there did.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
It made her wonder how big that previous storm was that had covered the entire Green Haven previously…Had it covered a lot more than she had originally thought?
She didn’t care too much about the weather and the climate here on this planet previously, but now that she was thinking about it, it was different to that of Earth.
It did rain less, but when it rained it was in buckets full…And there wasn’t much in the way of a sea of water. From what she has investigated throughout using her Bending Space Meditation, she has seen that this planet mostly seemed of land…Sahara hoped that it contained some more sea, as she had been used to living near water and having gone to the beach in her last life…But…Well, the water she has seen was pretty big, but compared to the amount of land she’s seen it was small…
For a long moment, Sahara had already been thinking about this, and continued to. Five silent minutes passed between them and finally Sahara had an idea, just not sure if it would work or not.
Putting her hand to the ground uncomfortably, she made the earth come shotting out of the ground and go into a long form that would remind people of a wooden slate...But it grew to be quite large!
As it got bigger and bigger, Sahara made it go into the air and it started to spread out and stop them from seeing any part of the cloudy sky now.
Sighing, Sahara put most of her spiritual essence into it and speed it away, towards the entourage of people on their way here.
The long board of earth appeared over the top of the people who were trying to still travel, as they could not see well nor were they staying dry, but they were still trying to continue on their way diligently.
It did freak out a lot of people, as what came above them totally stopped them from seeing anywhere else! It wasn’t as big as their current way they were traveling, but if they were to band together a little more and form up, the big, huge roof would be able to cover all of them up.
Sahara advance the earth element inside the 'wooden board' to have supporters, so that it could stay high enough to not have anyone bend down or make things hard for the wagons or horses. Supporters sprouted out to the ground and connected strongly to the wet dirt, digging itself deep enough to be stable, and the people stopped moving, enjoying the rain no longer hitting them. This big shelter, coming from nothing, looks particularly…Strange, in the big land area. For as far as the eye could see there were just small bushes and dirt and the occasional higher land to form a small mountain, but now it contained a shelter that kept many people and their carts dry from the rain…
Putting walls to three sides of the area around the huge, wooden like board, Sahara had to disconnect herself as soon as she knew it was safe and that it wouldn't fall to the stormy winds.
She had used much of her spiritual essence and Matthew carried her over to the bed.
"They will have to stop traveling for a while, but they shouldn't be getting wet anymore. I'll check on them tomorrow...Make sure...Make sure they don't...Get sick."
Matthew sighed, as he watched his Princess fall asleep. He wished to have seen what she had done but could only see her start to sweat and exhaust herself.
Kissing her on her head and on where his son was residing, he covered her with the blanket and went to a small desk that she had made quite some time ago.
He wanted to take more work off her, so that she could relax. That note about the women, that she had left before falling asleep earlier, he will figure out a way for her!
He really loved how they were constantly together now, but by the looks of it, she was pushing herself harder than he had first thought.
Back in Green Haven, he knew he would be able to pamper her more, make sure that all she had to do was eat and sleep…But here was another story. Here, she was basically the one holding everyone together, she was their best asset and one that seemed to be able to lead them from being ‘scavengers’ and bring the people back into a more civilized state.
Matthew sighed, as he looked over at his beloved Princess. He only wished life for her to be easy, especially now that she was with his child. Yet, he had never worked so hard before…Well, it wasn’t just physical, it was also working mentally hard at understanding the steps that she was taking…
Wanting to lay down beside her and take her into his arms, he sighed once again. There had to be a way to let her relax more!
He had personally seen two sides of her, one was serious, mature and selfless, and this is mostly what he has seen here in Purple Haven. The other side of her was more sarcastic, immature and laid back, which he had seen more of beforehand.
When they hadn’t had so many worries and living in his estate, she had even laughed at a wild cat that Naruto had caught.
Having seen her point at the nearly dead, mangled body of the cat, Matthew let out a chuckle to what his beloved had said back then…That it had served the wild cat right to have gotten caught.
At first, he thought she was going to scream and cower at the sight of the mangled body of the wild cat, but she ended up praising her little mutt instead!
Admitting to missing that more relaxed and lazy part of her, Matthew even thought that he should try and get Naruto to come and entertain her the next day…
Getting up, unable to stop himself, Matthew gently touched Sahara’s cheek and his eyes showed how much he treasured the beautiful sleeping woman in front of him. Putting a hand over her swollen body, Matthew felt the usual pride flow through him…And happiness…
He had never thought that he would find this type of life, as earlier, having been married to Isabella and them only being friends, was very different to now being with Sahara. Leaning his ear lightly over her bump, he tried to listen to anything that could be heard from the inside…He might not have been able to hear very much at all…But the golden connection he felt with his sister, was like what he felt from in there, making him have no doubt whatsoever that the child was indeed his. He had never wanted to question his beloved Princess, but it was like a miracle!
The connection that he could feel was complete evidence, and there were just no more questions, only happiness of a family that was growing…A family indeed, and three wasn’t going to be enough! Especially when he was still unable to stay away from his wife’s lovely, luscious body!
Having a little Sahara around would be perfect!
He was certain that this was only the beginning, that marrying and being beside Sahara was the start of his fulfilling life with his very own special family…
This was his family, this was where he belonged, whether it was in Purple Haven or Green Haven…
Kissing Sahara twice, once again he got up and went back to the desk quietly, not wanting to wake her up.
Knowing the answers to the math test, Matthew went through the answers that the people gave, writing another list of the names and how many questions that they had gotten right.
So, after a few hours, he had two lists of names, one from the test Sahara had done, and the math test.
Going through the names, then the parchments that had already been written earlier, Matthew found a quite few names that matched up and he wrote them down, so that they were known to having done a ‘test’ and if they passed or how much they knew.
Sahara will be happy when she sees who had done a ‘test’, had matched up with a few earlier parchments she had already given to Prince Seth. One had been in the ‘test’ she had done, who had ‘passed’, then the other had done a math test and had gotten several right answers…
She will most likely re read them and send them off to Prince Seth…
Matthew smiled, as he felt like he may have helped his lovely wife out a tiny bit…And knowing what she may even do, made him feel an ego start to come out of nowhere.
He never had too much of an ego beforehand, but now…This feeling seems to rely upon knowing who Sahara is and how she would act. Was this really an ego, when it really didn’t imply much to himself?
Looking back at his Princess, Matthew smiled, whatever it was, it made him feel good to know about his woman!
