A Journey That Changed The World.

Archer couldn't help but smile at Talila's happiness as she questioned. ''Who else are you here to see?''

''Kass,'' he replied, kissing her on the forehead with a love-filled smile. ''I'm glad you're pregnant, beautiful. I couldn't ask for a better mother.''

The silver-haired elf beamed as she rushed off to tell the others. Archer sensed someone heading in the direction of Ella's bedroom. This caused him to chuckle as he teleported to Kassandra, who was working out in the Domain.

As he arrived, his eyes locked onto the black-haired beauty, her movements a blur of grace and ferocity. She clashed against a swarm of Chull Guardians, their massive, insectoid forms lunging with snapping mandibles.

Her fists danced in the storm's dim light, smashing through their armored hides with relentless blows; each strike was proof of her unyielding skill. A pack of Chull Guardians loomed before her, their beetle-like shells glinting ominously, mandibles clacking,

But Kassandra wielded no blades; her fists were her weapons, clenched and ready, and a wild, radiant grin stretched across her face. A massive Chull charged, its claws tearing furrows in the mud.

Archer watched as the Kraken beauty sidestepped with uncanny grace, her smile never faltering, and drove her fist into its side. The impact rang like a hammer on stone, cracking its chitin and sending it staggering.

She laughed as another lunged. Ducking under its snapping jaws, she spun, slamming an uppercut into its underbelly. Ichor sprayed, and the beast screeched, collapsing in a twitching heap.

His breath caught, his fingers tightening around his unstrung bow. 'She's a wildfire,' he thought, mesmerized by her raw power.

Kassandra danced through the fray, her fists a blur. A third Chull swiped at her, but she caught its claw in one hand, twisting with impossible strength to hurl it into another, their armored bodies crashing together.

The young woman's grin widened, eyes alight with thrill as she leaped onto the pile, pummeling their weak points with relentless determination. Two more surged forward, their combined bulk shaking the ground.

'The sex has helped,' he mused with a proud smile. 'At least I don't have to worry about them.'

Kassandra vaulted over one, landing with a roll, and sprang up to deliver a double-fisted strike to its head, shattering an eye cluster. The second snapped at her, but she grabbed its mandible, yanking it down to meet her rising knee, the crack of chitin echoing through the glade.

''Come on!'' she taunted.

Archer's pulse raced, a mix of awe and excitement flooding him. 'Kass doesn't just fight, she revels in it.'

Her every move was a testament to strength and spirit, her smile a beacon in the storm. He itched to draw his bow and join her, but he stayed rooted, unable to tear his eyes from the spectacle of his gorgeous Kraken.

Following that, some of the Chull managed to get the drop on her and aimed a punch for her stomach, this sent his instincts wild the moment he saw it. He vanished, only to appear between Kassandra and the monster.

Archer blocked the attack, stopping the fight instantly, which surprised the black-haired beauty, but he growled at the monster. ''Return to your colony, no more fighting with her for at least a year.''

When the young woman heard this, her eyes narrowed as he turned to her and scanned her stomach. Moments later, a smile appeared on his face before he spoke in a relieved voice. ''I'm glad I stopped that attack. Our little one could have been hurt.''

''Huh?'' she replied while adorably tilting her head. ''What do you mean by that?''

Archer chuckled and waved his hand, creating a mana screen that showed a picture of a little white dot in a sea of darkness. She looked confused, ''What's this thing? A star? Maybe an angel?''

''That's one way to put it,'' he said with a sly chuckle. ''Thanks to me, our little hatchling's safe and sound. That's what you Krakens call your babies, right?''

Kassandra's black eyes widened, her jaw falling slack as the words sank in. Her hands flew to her stomach, cradling it instinctively, and his smile softened at the sight. 'She's reeling,' he thought.

''I'm pregnant?'' she muttered in shock.

Archer nodded while hugging the beautiful young woman. ''Yes, you are Kass, my love.''

Tears welled in the Kraken's eyes as she wrapped him in a tight embrace, overwhelmed with joy. She nuzzled against his neck, her voice a whisper. ''Thank you, my love! I hoped it would happen soon, but I never dreamed it would be now.''

Kassandra's heart swelled, a rush of warmth she couldn't contain. Without warning, she shifted closer, her hands gently cupping his face. Archer's eyes flicked to hers, startled but curious, as she leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to his forehead.

''I love you,'' she murmured, her voice low but fierce.

Another kiss landed on his cheek, then the bridge of his nose. ''I love you so much.''

''Kass—'' he started, but she didn't let him finish, peppering his face with kisses, his temples, his jaw, the corner of his mouth.

Each one was deliberate, punctuated by her whispered words. ''I love you. You know that, right? I love you.''

Kassandra's fingers slid into his hair, and she pulled back just enough to meet his gaze. Her gorgeous black eyes were bright with emotion. Archer's usually guarded expression softened, and a genuine smile broke through.

His hands found her waist, steadying her as he smiled. ''Yeah, Kass. I know, and I love you so much more.''

But she wasn't done, leaning in to kiss his cheek again, and he didn't pull away, letting her warmth wash over him. Following that, the two of them returned to the treehouse as the Kraken woman was beaming.

As they stepped inside, they ran into Ella, Nefertiti, Leira, and Nala. The four women lit up at the sight of Archer, their faces breaking into warm smiles. They enveloped him in a group hug, each planting a quick kiss on his cheek, their laughter filling the air.

The four women's eyes shifted to Kassandra, curiosity dancing in their gazes. Nala, the cat woman, tilted her head and sniffed the air delicately. Her tail shot upright, and her emerald eyes gleamed with surprise.

''Congratulations, Kass!'' she purred, a knowing grin spreading across her face. ''About time our husband got you pregnant.''

When the other three heard this, they beamed before swamping the Kraken as Ella appeared beside him with a warm smile. ''Congratulations, Arch. Who would have thought we would end up becoming parents? I remember when we were little children and now we're having our own.''

Archer beamed but nodded. ''Yes, it's surprising, but I'm happy and can't wait to end this war so we can live in peace,'' he revealed.

Ella giggled. ''There's no rush, handsome. We've got all the time in the world thanks to whatever you've done to us,'' she said with a smile.

He leaned down and whispered into her pointed ear. ''Yes, you've been ravaged so much that my mana has seeped into every part of your body.''

The young woman trembled in delight as her head snapped toward him with a knowing grin. ''Don't tempt me, Arch, I could do with feeling you inside me.''

His smile grew wider, responding. ''Let me say hello to the others, then I'll take you to the bedroom.''

Kassandra, the stunning blonde half-elf, flushed a deep crimson at his words, but a playful, sultry smile curved her lips as she gave a quick nod, her eyes sparkling with mischief. ''I look forward to it, husband.''

Following that, he greeted Nefertiti, who beamed at the affection he showed her, but she spoke. ''Go pamper Leira and Nala. They've been missing you.''

He leaned in, capturing the pink-haired succubus in a deep, passionate kiss. She froze for a heartbeat, caught off guard, before melting into him, eagerly returning the kiss with equal excitement.

Moments later, they separated as Nefertitit pushed him toward the others with a smile. ''Remember, you have more than one pregnant woman, now go show them some love.''

Archer's lips curved into a warm smile as he pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. His gaze then shifted to the purple-haired cat girl, her tail swaying playfully behind her, as he approached with a soft, knowing look.

''Hello Leira,'' he said warmly. ''It's good to see you glowing.''

The young woman beamed before accepting the hug that he gave her. She melted into his embrace as she whispered. ''Mother and Father are over the moon with happiness, my love. They've been celebrating every day since I've told them.''

Archer chuckled when hearing that, prompting him to reply. ''I have to go see the two of them soon. It's been a while.''

''Yes you should,'' she replied with a big smile. ''They asked about you when I visited a couple of days ago.''

Before Leira could say anything else, he leaned down and gave the young woman a passionate kiss.
