A few readers of The Aegis Edge posted that they wanted some type of sequel. While I never intended to write one, I figured it would make sense to do a series of loosely connected chapters capturing Rex's married life. They might not be true one-shots though because I don't want to constrain myself to that.

Funny thing is I am starting to regret combining Pyra and Mythra into one being in my last story so let's just forget that part.

As Rex, Pyra, Mythra, and Nia held hands, staring at the sunset, with the World Tree in the background, it seemed their life in Leftheria was perfect. Rex ended up marrying all three of them; it was too hard for him to choose between the three loves of his life. However, life in Leftheria seemed a bit too quiet. They were quite far from the rest of their friends, and it seemed that each day was much of the same. These routines caused Mythra to pop a question finally.

"Hey, Rex?" Mythra asked.

"Yeah? What's up, Mythra?"

"Don't you think it's time you grow up a bit?"

"Mythra!" Pyra scolded.

"I mean life in Fonsett is all good and stuff, but it's too quiet and a bit boring. I know Corinne and Gramps mean well, but aren't you supposed to move out once you get married?"

"I was wondering the same thing!" Nia said.

"I think we should let Rex decide," Pyra said.

"No, you are right, Mythra. I've had some thoughts about it. I just don't know where we would move. I don't know even know where to begin."

Mythra sighed. "Do I have to do all the work around here?"

"Hey, I keep Rex in line too," Nia said.

"Well okay, where do you all want to live?" Rex asked.

"How about Torigoth?" Pyra suggested.

"Nah, it's my old home, but most of my memories there sucked," Nia replied.

"Mythra?"

"Didn't you promise you'll take us to Elysium? I suppose the new land would be the most appropriate."

"All the houses are taken in the New Judicium and New Torna areas though," Pyra noted.

"I guess Rex will have to build one," Mythra said.

Nia and Pyra looked at each other. Asking Rex to move away from Fonsett was one thing. Asking him to figure out how to buy a house was a much more significant challenge.

"Do you really think Rex is going to figure out how to build a house? Mythra, you are so demanding," Nia said.

"I'll do it," Rex said.

"Are you sure, honey?" Pyra asked, grabbing Rex's hand and squeezing it.

"Yes, I'm sure."

"I'm with you then."

"Wow! Rex is going to act like a grownup now!" Mythra exclaimed.

Nia leaned over to whisper in Rex's ear. "You don't have to do this just to keep Mythra happy. I am just playing along with her," she said.

Rex shook his head at Nia. "Nia, I want to do this now."

"Do you even know anything about building a house? Or buying one?" Mythra asked.

"No, but I'm sure I'll find out if I ask Corinne or Gramps about it."

"Are you prepared to tell them you're leaving?" asked Pyra.

"Hmm, I haven't thought about that."

During dinner that night, Rex brought up the subject to Aunt Corinne.

"Hey, Aunt Corinne. What would you think if I told you that the girls and I are thinking about moving?" Rex asked.

"Oh, to where?" Corinne asked.

"We don't know yet."

Corinne thought about it for a few seconds and suddenly beamed.

"Oh, Rex, that's wonderful!" she exclaimed. "Sure, I will miss you, but now you've grown up. It's time to move on and find someplace to settle, and maybe start a family!"

The three girls blushed. Finally, Pyra spoke up.

"I don't think a Blade can have children," Pyra reminded Corinne.

"A flesh eater can though," Mythra blurted.

Nia winced and glanced at Rex.

"Look, let's just worry about the house first," Rex suggested, clearly sensing a bit of apprehension among the girls.

"I promised the girls I would take them to Elysium, so I guess the new house must be on that new hunk of land. I'm not sure how to get started, honestly."

"Well, Rex. I can't say I know anybody that can help you. Why not ask your friends? Zeke and Mòrag must have connections. Or maybe you could check in Argentum. Come on, Rex. Be resourceful," Corinne said.

"Let me take over instead, I'll handle it," Mythra said.

Rex felt somewhat relieved at Mythra's words for once.

"Go right ahead, Mythra."

"Right, tomorrow we will go meet Mòrag and ask her about the new houses the Ardanians are building since their Titan will soon die. I'm sure there's room for us."

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes! What? Look, I'm sorry that I can make decisions faster than you, Rex."

Nia and Pyra laughed nervously in the background as they listened to Mythra scold Rex like she always did. Even after their marriage, Mythra and Rex still had their banter. None of this got in the way of their love for each other. At the end of the day, Mythra and Rex still had their moments alone. She loved Rex deeply, and he loved her back. To an outsider, it wouldn't seem likely though.

That night, it was Mythra's turn to spend the night with Rex. To keep things simpler, the girls took turns to be with Rex each night. The bed in Corinne's house would only support two people. The remaining two girls would share a room when it wasn't their turn.

The room smelled of Mythra's lemon shampoo as she entered after taking a bath. Rex was already lying down in bed.

"Oh hello, Rexy," she said as she climbed into bed.

"Hi, Mythra."

"Look about today…"

"I'm perfectly fine with you taking charge."

"Okay, I was just making sure. How much gold do we have saved up again?"

"Oh, Pyra would probably have a better idea, but around four million? We earned a ton from all that salvaging I did while we went on our journey."

"You delegated all of the finances to Pyra didn't you?"

"Hey, that stuff is all boring, and she was willing to handle it."

"What do you do around here, Rex?" Mythra asked jokingly.

"I salvage for a living."

Mythra leaned over and kissed Rex. "You leave the house stuff to me then."

"I guess that sounds fine."

"Good because the house needs to have a few things to make me happy. Heated pool, hot tub…"

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! We aren't going to go broke over this right?"

"Jeez, Rex. Relax. I won't make us poor in the process. You should probably keep salvaging for a living though," Mythra said.

Mythra kissed Rex again and then turned off the lamp in the room. Mythra's body still glowed in the night, but it never bothered Rex.

In the next room, Pyra and Nia spent much of their time pondering the idea of finding a new place to settle.

"Honestly, I thought we would be living the rest of our lives out in Leftheria," Pyra said. "Life is peaceful here. I'm not sure why everyone is always on about moving away from your family."

"I'm still thinking about Corinne wanting Rex to move away and start a family. Rex was like a child yesterday. Suddenly, he's thinking about all these grown-up things. I do wish we would move a little slower, but Mythra wants Rex to grow up quickly it seems."

"I guess I need to figure out how to be a parent," Pyra mused.

"You're thinking too far ahead, Pyra. I doubt Rex is interested in being a parent any time soon. I guess living on our own would be kind of nice though, as much as I like our lives here."

"I suppose you are right. The idea of moving out does make for an interesting chapter. Perhaps it would be pretty fun."

"I don't know if fun is the right word, but it's close enough."

The girls stopped speaking and minutes later, they fell asleep.

The morning came, and Rex suddenly realized he hadn't told Azurda about his plan to leave Leftheria with his wives. So, he got up early. Mythra, sensing that her Driver was up, reluctantly got up too.

"Seriously, Rex. What the hell are you doing getting up this early? Is Gramps even awake at this hour?" she complained.

"What's going on, Rex?" Pyra said, groggily emerging from her room with Nia.

"Yeah, getting up this early is bullshit," Nia retorted.

"I need to tell Gramps we are leaving."

"This early? Are you out of your mind?" Nia said.

"I mean we are leaving for Mor Ardain today, right? What if we find a place and don't come back?"

"Titan's foot! Rex, are you dumb? People don't just get a house right away and move in!" Mythra said.

Pyra interjected. "Doesn't Gramps deserve to know ahead of time?"

"Yeah, he does, but not at this Architect-damn hour!" Nia remarked.

Azurda was already outside the house. The Titan peeked into the window, where Mythra could spot him.

"Gramps is right there anyway," Mythra said, opening the window.

"I heard you were running off with the girls. My boy's finally grown up," Azurda said.

"So you're okay with it?" Rex asked.

"I was wondering when you'd get out of here. I guess that day has finally come. Now I'm just waiting for a great-grandchild."

"One step at a time," Rex said, explicitly noting the flustered look on Nia's face.

"Would people shut up about starting a family already?" Nia said. Azurda appeared a bit taken aback, but didn't dwell too much on it. After all, they were still a little young and maybe it was best that they enjoyed life to the fullest.

"Fair enough, Nia. Good luck to you all!"

News of the arrival of Rex and his wives reached Mòrag, and she arranged for their authorization to enter New Judicium. The area was still under development and travel to there was still restricted. They didn't want random people squatting on the properties there. Mòrag waited for her friends to arrive at Anangham Dock. She spotted their ship off the coast around midday. She boarded the ship along with Brighid.

"Hello everyone," she greeted. Mythra stepped forward.

"You found one?" Mythra asked.

"Found what?" Rex asked.

"Yes. There is a house with what you are looking for, Mythra. It's located next to a hot spring which is exactly what you asked for."

"Whoa! Whoa! Hold it, how much does this house cost?" Pyra asked.

"Mythra didn't tell you?" Morag asked, raising her eyebrows.

"No, Mythra didn't tell us anything," Nia said.

"It's about three and a half million gold," Morag said.

"Are you kidding me, Mythra? We can't comfortably afford that!" Pyra shouted.

"Sure, we can, Rex told me we had four million gold," Mythra replied.

"Rex! Why did you tell her that?"

"She asked me?"

"Oh Rex, you should have let me talk to her about this. You know how I feel about our tight budget."

"Oh, shut up! We can afford it. Rex can do more salvaging if we run out of money," Mythra replied.

Nia and Morag, meanwhile, were laughing at the whole spectacle.

"Is this what our married life is going to be like? It's pretty hilarious. Personally, I don't give a crap where we live, but the place better have running water," Nia said to Morag.

"Oh Titan's Foot. I guess I should have made sure that all of them knew what Mythra was doing," Morag replied.

Brighid finally stepped in to break up the argument.

"Pyra, don't you think you're a little bit of a control freak here? It's not like you guys can't make more money. Even after buying the house, you will still have half a million gold left," Brighid said.

"I am not a control freak," Pyra said flatly. "I think you mistook me for Mythra."

"Whaat?! How am I a control freak?!"

"We'll buy the house," Rex said finally. "I'll make it work!"

"But Rex…" Pyra began.

"We'll figure it out. It's not like we're totally broke."

"You know, if money does become a problem, I can help," Morag said. "Mor Ardain isn't going to let the Aegis and her Driver starve."

"Thanks, Morag. I don't think it will come to that though. I think we'll manage just fine," Rex replied.

Pyra threw her hands up. "Alright, if Rex is fine, I'm sure we'll be fine."

"Come on, Pyra. Don't be like that," Rex said.

Pyra sighed and then took a seat.

"I don't know what she's mad about," Nia whispered to Mythra.

"She's mad that I called a shot for once," Mythra whispered back.

The girls didn't speak for the rest of the trip to New Judicium, but Rex could tell there were tensions between Mythra and Pyra. Having three wives was much harder than he thought. They would often disagree with each other. Rex wasn't a particularly successful peacemaker. However, usually, the disagreements resolved themselves. He hoped that the same would happen in this case.

As they arrived in New Judicium, Rex and friends stared in awe at the new city. The city appeared to be modeled off the deserted city of Elysium. However, most of the architecture appeared to be a cross between Ardanian and Urayan architecture. The entrance was lined with shops as most cities were. Some of the buildings were made of steel like the industrial look of Ardanian buildings, but others were mostly the dark brick commonly associated with the Urayans. As soon as the front gate attended checked their paperwork, they allowed the group to proceed. The broad cobblestone street opened up to the city square.

"Come along, this way," Morag said. She led them up a few flights of stairs. The steps took them up to a grassy hill, not unlike the one Rex saw in his visions about Elysium. Except that on this hill, instead of just greenery, there was a small row of unoccupied brick houses. There were still some workers putting the finishing touches on a few of them.

"Nobody has moved in here yet since much of the city is still under construction. However, it does appear to have what Mythra wants. What about you guys? Do you think it's okay?"

"Oh come on, it's perfect right?" Mythra asked.

"I'm not sure about having neighbors," Pyra said. "Most of Alrest knows who we are now. Won't it be distracting?"

"I could make sure that nobody unsavory buys the house next to yours," Morag suggested. "Most of the individuals moving in will be families of Ardanian and Gormotti soldiers. I doubt they will give you too much trouble."

"I suppose so. This whole neighbor thing is just new to me."

"I'll just bash 'em up if they give us any trouble," Nia said.

"Um, that sounds like a bad idea," Rex said.

"Let's have a look, I guess," Pyra suggested.

Rex and the girls stepped into one of the completed houses. The house had one floor like Corinne's, but it several more rooms. It also had wood floors. The entrance put you right into the living room which they lacked in Leftheria. There were a small fireplace and chimney in the middle. Off to the left was a small hallway leading into the kitchen which was quite spacious.

"Oh well, I think this kitchen is much nicer! I could store more ingredients, and the stove is larger!" Pyra commented, excitedly.

The kitchen had a large wood-burning stove which would allow Pyra to cook more things at once. The counters were also much broader.

Nia was busy checking out the three bedrooms which were to the right side of the living room. They were fully furnished with beds and nightstands. Nia particularly liked that the rooms were much larger than at Corinne's house.

"You know, if we decided in the far future that we want a family, this would certainly be enough room."

Mythra was just staring at the hot tub in the bathroom.

"Ah yes! I have always wanted one of these!"

"Do you like it, Rex? If so, I can get an agent over here, so you can get the process started."

"Well, it certainly feels like Elysium. I want to hear what the girls think."

"We'll take it," they said in unison.

The agent met them at an exchange at the town square. After a few words and a few signatures, especially since all his wives had to sign, Rex was 3.5 Million Gold poorer.

"I should go salvage, so we don't starve," Rex said.

"Yeah, let's head back to Leftheria for now to do that. After all, you left all your cylinders at home," Pyra said.

"We do also need to move our stuff out," Nia remarked.

"Let's make sure we earn 500,000 gold from salvaging."

"Oh, Pyra, you are so demanding," Rex said.

"Am I? I'm sorry," Pyra apologized.

"I was just joking; learning from Mythra a bit."

"Hey, I'm not that big of an asshole! I wouldn't ever diss my own sister!" Mythra yelled.

"Anyways, should we get a move on?" Nia asked.

The four of them stepped onto the ship back to Leftheria, excited to begin a new chapter in their lives.
