Asn spent the 3 month break getting his sea legs. Well, actually 2 weeks has passed already on the way here, so he spent just over two months here
By the day, he spent time with his father on the boat, catching fish so rge they nearly couldn't even be brought onto the deck! Asn got used to the taste of raw, fresh fish as his father showed him with fish were the tastiest
The first few days, at nights his parents checked on his progress. His abilities with fire and shadow using his racial magics already matched his parents, and he showed them that he had developed them beyond that with his shadow control, shadow manipution, shadow storing/hiding in the shadow realm, and even his bck fire!
They have never even heard of such magic and found that both of them could not perform such magic too!
Astra tested the other magic he has learned in the Academy, and found that he was a natural genius, able to learn and master many different forms of magic.
And they knew since he was young, that he had incredible mana reserves, which was why Balthazar wanted to breed him for a new body in the first pce!
Astra and Orcrage allowed him to continue training on his own at night, realizing that he was beyond them already, even at only 15 years of age
He developed the fine control for his inextinguishable bck fme, able to control how much it burned, and instantly putting it out. So he would be able to burn just the hair off on a person, but extinguishing it before it burns the skin. Or burning all the skin of a person or animal, but not burning the flesh underneath!
He also brought out the doppelgangers, three copies of himself, and one each of Aria, Aimee and Anvi! They were real doppelgangers, and their bodies looked and felt identical even the insides of their pussies!
Only that they were inert bodies, controlled and lifelike by his shadow ability
He clothed them in bck skin tight clothes, and even made them wear a mask, so he could use them immediately
But he did show them to his parents, so they knew who his three lovers were!
"What are those? Those 3 are identical to you. Doppelgangers?" Astrid asked
Asn described the creatures that created them and the illithids that he fought. He also described the doppelgangers connected by a thread to oozes
"Oblexes!" Cage said, recognizing his description
"Is that what those ooze things are called?" Asn asked
"Yes. And they are capable of creating perfect duplicates of yourselves" Astrid said
"Princess Aria is beautiful indeed. And uh..Anvi is it? She's cute. I never thought a dwarf could be considered pretty. Don't they all have beards?" Cage asked
"No they don't!" Asn ughed. He thought so too until he met Anvi. And, contrary to belief, dwarven women did not have beards. Not the ones in Smithe at least. But at least he now knew where he got that impression from
"So this is your official bride. Exceptional, even for a high elf!" Astrid said, examining the face of the Aria doppelganger
"How are you controlling them?" Astrid asked, as they moved around independently
"I control their shadows. So where the shadow goes or does, so does the physical bodies" Asn said
Cage shook his head. Asn's abilities go beyond logic, even by the standards of magic
"Oh, right! I bought this in an auction... I was wondering what to do with it" Asn said as another figure walked out of the shadow realm
It was the naked female that Balthazar had turned into a mannequin, made of flesh and skin.
"What? Mya?" Astrid said in shock, recognizing the figure with the dried up skin
"Mya? She was dead all along? So that's what happened to her!" Cage said in anger and rage
"You... you guys know her?" Asn asked in shock
"She is.. was a supremely beautiful and talented succubus. The Demon King's favorite actually. But she always rejected him. One day, she was sent to disrupt the Hero's party, and create jealousy and strife. But she disappeared during the mission" Cage said
"If the she didn't reject him, I would think that she would have become the Demon Queen" Astrid said
"Not you, mum?" Asn asked
"The Demon King was attracted to me too. But she was clearly first choice. Your father fancied her too!" Astrid said
"No I did not! No matter how friendly she was, I always kept in mind that she's a succubus. Her attraction to me wasn't real, just her nature to be flirtatious. Like that Ve, Desiree!" Cage said
"Wise man. Otherwise, she would absorb your lifeforce, even shriveling up your mighty 12 inch cock" Astrid said
Cage just ughed uncomfortably

Mya stood in front of Asn, fully nude as he wondered if he should proceed
Necromancy was a dark art frowned upon even by many in the Demon King's army
The way Asn understood, there were more than just the two forces of good and evil, human and other races like the elves and dwarves versus the demon army and allies like the dark elves and high orcs.
There was also a neutral force like the Vis and other simir forces of nature, but they would most likely side with the human forces. And then there were the undead and the aberrations, like the illithids that they met
So necromancy and the undead were just as opposed to the demonic forces as to the human forces. And this was what Balthazar studied to create a foothold for himself
This was why he was performing this experiment in the shadow realm, so neither sight nor sound could be heard outside
"Ah! Fuck it. Just do it" Asn said to himself and started casting from Bathazar's notes
Asn looked in amazement as the skin seemed to tighten around Mya's body, and start to smoothern
He was now calling her Mya rather than simply referring to her as a random body since his parents recognized and recognized her by name
Her body writhed as it seemed like she was being electrocuted as her organs and blood revived, turning from dead preserved matter into living, breathing tissue
She screamed in pain before she colpsed on her knees, peeing everywhere
He held her shoulders and noted that her flesh felt real, supple and soft. It worked! She was alive again! And she was absolutely gorgeous!
She looked up at him, looking scared and confused.
"Mya! Do you remember who you are?" he asked
She suddenly hugged him
"How? I was.. dead! I am alive again?" she asked
Asn expined what was happening, what year it was and what he knew about her death
She nodded and agreed with most of what he said, correcting him on some details!
But she didn't seem too bothered by it! It felt like he was talking about somebody else
"Let's get you washed up" he said
He brought her to his room in the middle of the night, and brought her to bathe
She seemed independent enough and at least knew how to bathe herself, though she somehow wanted to be watched
He went over to her, and put his hand into the water, touching her body
Drying her, he groped her body, feeling her soft flesh. He felt his cock grow rge again
It has been weeks since he's seen Aria, Aimee or Anvi. He was horny. And Mya wouldn't mind if he took advantage of her, right?
But she was a succubus! Would she suck out his lifeforce? He dared not fuck her until he was sure. But his willpower didn't st very long, and he caved in pretty easily, fucking her every night for the rest of the time he was there!
Fortunately, she was completely obedient to him. She wouldn't even activate her power without him expressly telling her to. And besides fucking, he has been testing and training her with using her powers
She remembered everything, but she felt no attachments to her memories like watching memories of someone else.
He kept her a secret even from his parents. She was his secret reservoir of information of the past, a secret weapon, and his secret sex toy

While there, Asn also shared some of his wealth with his parents. He didn't give them all, of course
Not that he didn't trust them, but having too much gold would attract too much attention. Besides, there was no safer pce than his shadow realm anyway
He gave them a hundred thousand gold, which even than needed Cage to dig a hole under the floorboards of the house to keep safely
His parents didn't need that much anyway, and Cage made a decent amount of money as a fisherman. In a isoted fishing town like that, there was no need for riches
Unless they wanted to purchase a castle or maybe buy a kingdom!
Although both Orcrage and Astra were the king and queen of their individual race once, they had no reason to want to regain that past in the least
Thus Asn kept most of the gold from the bck dragon's hoard, as well as the ever growing number of mana cores that was worth a fortune by now, especially the three dragon cores!
