The hivemind is conquering for me?

As I followed the river with my eyes, the old architecture was replaced with new as for miles and miles, a cityscape was all I could see with skyscrapers and buildings wherever you looked.

Drawing my eyes back to the river and the many bridges that cross its body, my eyes were taken to the ocean again, where off the coast a mountainous island had begun to hide the suns descent, bathing the sky a beautiful orange and purple colour. I could also see in the sky, the planets two moons. One blue and one white.

As I was taking in the scenery, Kathrine took me by the hand and spoke while looking ahead. "It never stops being this breath-taking you know? It makes me appreciate my home despite the fact that I have visited hundreds of planets, the most beautiful sights can always be found on my home world."

As Kathrine said that, a memory of Jewel, Orchid and I stargazing on home worlds surface flooded my mind. The scene was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Most likely because it was my home.

"There is no place like home." I muttered as I continued to stare out over the scenery. Not long afterwards, Hank came up behind us and coughed. "I was not sure if he was doing it to get our attention or if it was old person cough, either way our attention was got.

"Hello lovebirds, if you would follow me, Lady Valerica has sent a transport to pick us all up and to take us to her." He said before walking away, expecting us to follow. Although the man was old, it clearly did not affect the pace at which he walked as he was quite spry for his age and in no time we were inside a small personal ship that was flown via remote access for privacy reasons.

The flight was short, only around five minutes, but we travelled a large distance in those five minutes. After the ship landed and we took our leave, the surroundings had become all mountains in every direction. The only thing that was not mountains was the large mansion a couple minutes walk away.

"*Whistle* Nice place." I said as I took in the décor. Kathrine snorted, seemingly in competition with her own mother as she said. "Please, you should see my house. Makes this place look like a shit heap."

"Well maybe we can go there the next time I visit?" I said before I began walking in the direction of the mansion. Kathrine froze a moment with a smile on her face as she thought \'Next time?\'

As we made it to the front door of the mansion, I knocked on the door before asking Kathrine a question. "So for such a big shot, your mum has no guards or anything. Why is that?" Kathrine snorted at my question before apologising for her rudeness followed up with her reason.

"Mummy does not need guards here, she is plenty strong enough to handle anyone. Besides in her own words. \'If someone has the balls to make it up this mountain uninvited, they at least deserve a chance to rob or kill me before I turn them into meat paste.\' And it has happened a few times." Kathrine added as she remembered a particularly cold morning as she watched her mom power wash a man off one of her walls.

Just as Kathrine finished remembering that event, an intercom buzzed as a sensuous, mature voice sounded. "Hello baby girl, I am just in my gym finishing my sets, come up and say hello ok?"

As the voice finished saying that, the door to the mansion opened and Kathrine groaned slightly. "I really hope she doesn\'t make me work out. Though Apollo is here so she might be lenient." She mumbled to herself before turning to me. "Come on handsome, mummy won\'t stop her workout just because we are here, lets go." She then took my arm and began leading me up and through the mansion.

As we made our way through countless gaudy rooms and hallways, the sound of energising music became louder and louder. Eventually we made our way into the room and the sounds of enraged grunts could now be heard.

"Come on you bitch! Five more reps!" Was heard by both Kathrine and myself. As we rounded a corner, I could see a pair of arms pushing up a barbel with a weight plate on either side that had \'2.5 T\' written upon them.

The grunting continued a little while as we moved further into the room. With a final yell, the woman doing the bench press placed the weights on the sturdy rack before she sat upright and wiped herself with a towel.

Feeling our presence, the woman turned in our direction and flashed a smirk towards us. "Hello baby, So is this the new \'husband\' Hank was telling me about hmm?" Valerica said standing up. As she did stand up, my mouth opened slightly before closing as I took in the woman before me.

Valerica from my guess was in her mid seventies to early eighties considering Kathrine\'s age, yet she did not look a day over 35 as the Hyllus\' Psionic technique has left her with an abundance of youthful vitality and femininity.

Valerica\'s posture was perfect as she placed her hands on her hips while a smirk was evident on her plump lips. Valerica was currently wearing a sports bra, which barely contained her Ample bosom and hot pants. The ensemble really suited her physique as she had perfectly toned legs and well defined abs.

Valerica, like the other Hyllus women had red hair. Hers was a touch darker then her daughters and grandaughters, and was cut shoulder length as it swept to one side in messy curls that had a certain charm to them.

Her hair short allowed unobstructed access to her face. Which was tight and slim due to her healthy lifestyle. She had high cheekbones and a sharp jawline and chin. She had a thin nose, arched eyebrows and beautiful grey eyes that held a strength and wisdom to them.

All in all, Valerica Hyllus was a beautiful woman. What made her stand out especially to me was her height. The woman was seven feet tall. I had yet to actually meet a human that was taller than me yet, and I actually felt glad that I finally met one.

As Valeric walked over, she picked Kathrine up like she weighed a couple of grapes and brought her into a hug. "Oh I have missed you my baby. Now go get changed, I left a sports bra and pants in the next room as I new you were coming. We should work out together before dinner no?"

Kathrine groaned as she tried to escape her mothers grasp, but it was futile. "Ok mummy." She said dejectedly after she gave up and was put back down. She gave me a sad look before sulking out of the room slowly.

I could not look away from the sight as it amused me greatly watching Kathrine act like a scolded child. Once she left the room, I turned to Valeric while saying. "So you are Val-" I paused my sentence as a fist barrelled in my direction.

My body acted on instinct as I felt danger from the strike. In one quick movement, I slipped the blow, latched onto the extended arm with both of my own before positioning it over my shoulder.

I then applied a great deal of Gyrokinetic energy to lighten the body attached to the arm as I threw the body over my own, before expelling even more energy as I increased the gravity of the person as I threw them on the ground.

I had been in enough fights with Orchid to know to press my advantage and do my best to cause as much damage as possible while I still had leverage of the arm and was about to strike out at the persons face.

As I pulled my arm back, I seemed to finally come to as Valerica looked up at me with a look of surprise, curiosity and a few other emotions. As I lowered my fist, Valerica smiled playfully at me.

"Well, well well, colour me surprised. Even though I held back, that was truly impressive Apollo." As I let go of her arm, she got back to her feet and shrugged her shoulder a few times. "What was that you did to me just now? I felt my whole bodies weight change from light to heavy."

I immediately forgot the fact that she just tried to knock my teeth out while I was unaware as the subject of Psionics came to play. "Oh I used Gyrokinesis on you. I accidentally overcompensated as your body is extremely full of energy and I had to overpower it."

As I was about to continue and explain what Gyrokinesis meant as usual, Valerica commented with surprise.

"Oh Gravity manipulation? Aren\'t you a diamond in the rough. I can tell I am going to like you. Come, Kitten will do her workout on her own, I will know if she slacks off, lets you and me have a drink and get to know one another."
