Fantasy Paradise Island

Matthew's eyes came open slowly. He noticed he was now in a hut, but not one that he recognized. It was ornate and beautifully decorated. He also noted the comfort of the bed and its enormous size. As his eyes focused more, he could now see the Matron, Sani, Alaria, and several other women gathered around him. The Matron locked her eyes on his and gave him the grandest smile imaginable. It was then that Matthew realized.

Guess I was right. That's convenient.

He was still groggy but started getting clearer. He felt tighter in certain places, but figured it was just soreness. He looked again at the Matron who figured he was lucid enough now.

"Are you alright, Matthew?"

He pondered at the question a second. He wiggled his fingers and toes and figured he couldn't be in too bad a shape.

"I think so, what happened?"

Alaria immediately responded to him with simple words.

"A miracle!"

This puzzled him a bit, but the Matron explained.

"You did it, Matthew. The light shone throughout the island and all the women as the Goddesses foretold. All the sisters it seems experienced at the same time."

This response puzzled him even more.

"Experienced?"

"A simultaneous orgasm that was felt throughout the island by all. It was glorious!" the Matron explained.

Matthew's first thought to this was typically male.

Getting thousands of women off all at once, gotta be a record!!

He smiled a little at this thought, but then turned his attention back to the women gathered around. One of them seemed very startled. He did not recognize her.

"Are you ok?" Matthew directed the question to the woman.

Kanya looked at him, remembering her earlier apprehension toward him.

"I am fine. I must confess that I doubted you." She began crying and went to her knees. "I beg your and the Goddesses forgiveness."

He looked at her stunned.

"It's ok. I'd wonder about me too."

His earnestness got Kanya's attention and she stood up. He found her stunningly beautiful. Definitely Polynesian looking with what looked like DD cup breasts and very pointy nipples. She noticed him looking her over and gave a slight grin. The Matron then got his attention right back on her.

"Matthew, how did you know that you could safely enter the pool?!"

"It was a guess but looking at the map gave me the clue."

"What clue?" the Matron inquired.

"The double "XX"'s surrounding the island. I tried to figure out in my head why it was two X's and not just one to outline the island. I figured they had to have meaning. Then I saw the Y in the location of the pool. I thought about what those symbols could mean. Then it hit me."

"What?" Sani now interjected.

"Chromosomes," Matthew stated matter-of-factly.

The women all looked at each other with an almost confused look, so Matthew continued explaining.

"When children are still in the womb, chromosomes decide if they will be male or female. Everyone starts off female by default symbolized by the double X chromosome. A hormone at the right time with the Y chromosome makes a child male. You have an island full of women symbolized with their chromosomes, and a Y inside of it."

The women all took this in as Matthew continued with his theory.

"All you have increased health, near immortality, striking beauty, and eternal youth. No one else on Earth has that and certainly no man. So, a pool is created to allow for that to be possible. A pool that can convert a man into what you are. Now, if this was known, you'd have an invasion on your hands. Men and women would kill for this. So, you're hidden from the world to keep it safe. I guess who ever created the pool figured that any man you allowed onto the island and into the pool would be deemed worthy."

The women gathered saw the logic of it. Now they were all thinking exactly the same thing.

How did we not consider this?!

"So, you are a male equivalent of us now?" the Matron inquired.

"I guess," Matthew said while shrugging his shoulders, "I really don't have the slightest idea."

Once he did that, he saw his arms freer from the sheet that was covering him. He saw how toned and defined his arms were now. He examined his chest and saw rock-hard muscles and well-defined abs. He then reached down lower and felt his toned legs. Lastly, his hand went to his dick and felt a very sizable difference. If a man knows anything, it's what his dick feels like. This felt very different.

Matthew now came back to reality while he saw the women gathered around admiring the same body that he himself was inspecting. There was some clear blushing from the ladies.

"So, what now?" Matthew inquired innocently.

The women gathered all looked at each other and some have very slight smiles on their faces. Matthew really didn't know what to make out of the reaction.

"Sisters, please leave us so I can speak to Matthew," the Matron requested.

The women around the bed bowed their heads toward the Matron and all smiled at Matthew as they left. Alaria and Sani both squeezed his arm affectionately as they departed.

The Matron now sat on the bed and breathed deeply while looking out into space.

"Matthew, this is the time that we have looked toward for years upon years. You have solved the mystery of the sacred pool and likely have restarted our breeding cycles. There is potential now that we have never had before and there are many decisions to be made. This will be my greatest test as Matron. And of course, there is you."

The Matron then sighed and looked at Matthew.

"You have done more for us already then anyone could have ever dreamed. You have brought hope to us all. My sisters would all desire for you to stay here and help us conceive. I confess that I would desire it too."

She said this last almost wistfully and she noticed that her thighs dampened at the thought of it. She took a deeper breath now to compose herself and say what she knew in her heart that she must.

"However, this must be your choice. I cannot force you to stay here. You have a life that you left behind, I'm sure. If you so wish, I can arrange a ship that can take you back to the world of man. I have no doubt you would keep this place secret from the outside world. You would be able to continue your life there."

This sent Matthew's mind reeling.

I could go home.

But on top of this, Matthew had another thought quickly cross his mind. He had no family left and no real close friends that would miss him. Before he could get it out the Matron continued.

"I, of course, do not expect you to answer this question now. You should rest and recharge your strength. We can discuss this more later."

The Matron got up to leave, resigned to leave him to ponder what had happened and what he had been told. Suddenly, Matthew reached out and grabbed her hand.

The Matron immediately spun her head around and looked deep into Matthew's eyes. She saw something different in his eyes. Something she had seen before, but not from him. She recognized it immediately.

Desire.

She bent down and immediately kissed him deep on the lips. She immediately became intoxicated by him, his tongue, his touch, everything. He caressed his tongue with hers and immediately, she responded in kind. She could feel herself moisten in her womanhood and relished being in his strong arms. She began feeling and groping at his now well-defined chest. He started feeling her body as well, grasping at her breasts to her ecstasy.

He suddenly stopped and looked in her eyes. She showed concern on her face, but there was a question he wanted to ask.

"Matron, what's your real name?" Matthew asked innocently.

The Matron almost teared at the question.

"Blana," she returned gratefully.

"Thank you, Blana," Matthew returned.

Blana/the Matron then continued kissing and groping at Matthew. Matthew returned the affection grasping and kneading her ass. Blana then made the move down to his manhood. It was now massive and rock hard in her hands. Matthew moved his hands toward her pussy and saw it was already overflowing with wetness. She was greatly anticipating the next act and decided she could not wait any further.

She set herself on top and impaled herself onto him. She did not remember ever being so full and complete as this moment. Not even in the days of old, when men populated the island, did she ever feel this wonderful. The fake phalluses that the women used on the island simply could not compete. She was riding him enthusiastically with her heavenly breasts bouncing in rhythm with her. In this moment, she did not need to be the Matron and a symbol of authority to her sisters. Here, she was just a woman that was being satisfied.

Matthew was greatly enjoying the view and sensation. Her pussy felt much tighter than Alaria & Sani and he felt overwhelming pleasure. Strangely, he did not feel the urge to cum. He felt in complete control of his ejaculation. He thought to himself...

That could be very useful!

Blana then began an orgasm that she screamed out toward the heavens. Certainly, if anyone was in the vicinity of the hut, they heard her cries of pleasure. She was thrusting hard against Matthew, having wanted this since yesterday. She then orgasmed again and decided she needed to be taken. She flipped around presenting her backside to Matthew. He quickly took the hint and got on his knees behind her. She then felt him grabbing her hips and ramming into her. She loved the feeling of being taken. Normally, in coupling with her fellow sisters, she was fated to be the dominant force in the endeavor. She quickly climaxed again and was howling as loudly as she ever had.

Matthew saw and heard this remarking to himself that he had only ever heard this level of volume in porn clips. He grunted hard and kept up the thrusting. He noticed that while he was sweating, that he didn't feel tired or worn down. Blana was thrusting herself back at him with great vigor. A feeling or instinct undertook Matthew, and he grabbed her hair and pulled. She was surprised and grateful for his ardor, now grunting like a mad woman. She quickly realized that there was another sensation she wanted to feel. Not caring at all about her station or status, she made this known to Matthew.

"Take my other hole, Matthew!" Blana screamed toward the heavens.

This was something Matthew had never done before. He had never had a partner show any interest in anal play. And now, easily the most beautiful woman he had ever seen was begging for it. He thought quickly that there was no lube nearby and from her urgency, she wasn't asking for it. He figured that his saliva and her lubrication from her pussy would have to suffice. He spat on his hand and lubed up her asshole as best he could, also using a finger to prime it.

Blana loved the feeling of Matthew's finger there and could not wait to feel the rest. Just feeling the double penetration of both of her sacred holes put her over the top with another orgasm. She gushed her juices all over Matthew and he figured that was as lubricated as it could get. He withdrew himself from her pussy and placed the tip of his cock at her back entrance. He rubbed more saliva on the end and started to press forward slowly. She felt the fullness of him immediately even with only the tip. She could not recall having anything like this back there before. He kept easing in slowly, but she eventually could not wait anymore. In one large thrust, she impaled all of herself on him. He felt the rush and grunted at the tightness. She screamed out in total ecstasy.

He started thrusting very slowly, trying to get her accustomed to his size. She, however, had a much different agenda in mind. She started thrusting herself wildly against, relishing every stroke. She could feel her sacred hole overflowing with wetness at this new feeling. Within one minute, she screamed out an orgasm that Matthew could swear shuddered the hut. He was grunting trying to keep up her pace. Sweat was pouring over the both of them as Blana was in an orgasmic daze.

Once the clouds started to part, she could fully feel the pleasure of every thrust. She finally decided that it was time for Matthew to reach his peak. She looked back at him and saw that he was still hard at work. She removed her herself from him and kneeled on the floor of the hut. She looked up into his eyes and spoke.

"Cover me with yourself!" Even she was shocked by her words.

Matthew was in a daze, but eventually realized what she was requesting. He was stunned, but he wasn't going to disappoint her. He stroked himself in front of her and eventually allowed himself to go over the edge. He exploded all over her, covering her face and chest with his seed. Spurt after spurt, he could not believe how much was coming out. Even last night, he did not have this much cum. He came out of his haze and looked down at her. She was smiling widely with eyes wide open. She felt along her breasts for some of his gift and immediately placed it in her mouth. She loved the taste of him and smiled even more. She looked to the side of the room and saw the water basin and towel. Matthew noticed this and went over to it. He poured some water into the bowl and grabbed a towel. He returned to Blana, and she began cleaning herself. She then took the towel and wiped the sweat from Matthew as well.

She then pulled him onto the bed, and they drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.

Matthew woke up from his nap and found Blana looking back at him while wrapped in his arms. She lightly kissed him on the lips and smiled back at him, loving being in his now very strong arms. She was looking for the right words to tell him, to get him to stay, but he beat her to the punch.

"I'll stay," Matthew answered to the question that was in the air.

"But what about your life back there?" Blana asked, clearly meaning Indianapolis.

"There isn't much there for me. I don't have any family and no close friends. My job is mediocre at best. I could go back to that or stay here in paradise with an island of gorgeous, wonderful women and maybe help others. Doesn't really seem like a hard choice."

Her reaction was immediate and grabbed and kissed him deeply. In his mind, Matthew thought over his decision to leave his old life behind and kept coming back to the same thought.

I would be insane to leave this place.

She eventually released him and was overcome with joy.

"Matthew, you have answered the prayers of us all! Thank you for your sacrifice to us!"

Matthew wondered why she thought this was a hardship, but his response was quick.

"It will be my honor, Matron." He said this as stoically as he could, while also showing his contentment as well.

She had a sharp reaction to this statement which Matthew took notice of.

"Blana, Matthew. From this day on, I am only Blana to you," the Matron commanded.

He looked at her with a smile and just nodded. She then rose and called for her attendants. The attendants, who just an hour before had heard all of the activity previous, rushed inside and bowed.

"Send word to the sisters that I will address them within the hour. Prepare the grand room."

"Yes, Matron" was the response from one of the attendants who then all bowed their heads and left. Blana turned back toward Matthew and began to sit up from the bed.

"Matthew, let us go and have a cleaning before addressing the sisters."

Matthew realized that this was probably a good idea as he had to smell of sex and who knew how disheveled his hair looked. They proceeded out of the hut and immediately encountered Tiana instantly. She saw her and let her intentions be known.

"We shall have a cleaning before addressing our sisters. Prepare the great bath, Tiana," the Matron commanded.

Tiana bowed her head and hurried off. Blana took Matthew's arm, and they began walking.

"Matthew, I know all of this will be a colossal change for you; but I give you my solemn vow that will never regret your sacrifice for us."

"Of that, I have no doubt," Matthew responded, Blana noticing that he was smiling as he said this. She loved that he was staying with all of them and had no doubt he was pleased he was remaining as well. She only had one thought that flashed into her head immediately.

If he only knew what awaits him.

She grinned at the thought as they entered the bath.

Blana and Matthew entered the great bath again and Matthew noted that every time he entered this room, there were new bathers here.

Maybe they work on rotation.

One of the bathers came up to the Matron and bowed her head. The Matron returned the greeting and gave instructions.

"Please give myself and Matthew a cleaning. Please ensure Matthew gets a full cleaning."

She nodded and grinned all at once. Two teams of three women each escorted them both into the water and began their art. Matthew immediately noticed that the bathers were much closer to him than previous baths. One of the bathers started gently caressing his body while another was lightly kissing it as well. He looked over at Blana and she was receiving a similar treatment. She looked over at Matthew and smiled.

"Sisters, Matthew and I must talk, and I must enjoin you all not to discuss what is said."

All responded the same and in unison, "Yes, Matron."

Matthew turned himself to her to better show attention, even though he was finding it increasingly hard, in more ways than one.

"Matthew, now that you will stay here with us; I wish to provide you with your own rooms here at the High House. If you will accept, I wish you to feel this is now your home as well."

While officially not listening, the bathers all smiled at the knowledge that they would have permanent access to this man. Matthew also noticed that they began rubbing their bodies even more against him.

"Thank you. That's incredibly generous of you. I would be honored to say here with you."

He said the last with a bit of a smile which Blana returned. He noticed that her bathers were now fondling her breasts with soapy water as well as her pussy. The attentions being paid on him ramped up too as one of the bathers was now fondling his balls working up to his now rock-hard dick.

"Wonderful! In addition, I'm also obliged to assign attendants to you specifically. The typical number is three, but that can be revised later. There are many potential applicants that would jump at this, but three specifically have come to mind. Alaria and Sani have already requested the assignment if you chose to stay, and I believe Tiana would also love the chance to serve you. Would you find this acceptable?"

Matthew heard all of this all the while one of the bathers began vigorously "cleaning" his dick with her hands and mouth. He gathered himself as best he could to respond.

"That would be great, but what exactly would these attendants do?" Matthew inquired.

"They would be sure that you had anything you need. They would escort you anywhere you go for both any needs that would arise and any potential security that you may need."

Security?!

That bit got his attention. Even while virtually getting a blowjob, that statement raised his eyebrow. Blana saw this and decided to explain this further.

"Not security, Matthew in which you would be in danger. But you must understand that being the only male on the island with which women will be able to breed, you may get mobbed with attention when you venture out into the island. Of course, we all encourage you to partake in any of the sisters willing on the island, but we do not wish you overwhelmed either, do we?" she said with a wink.

Now understanding better, Matthew softened in his facial expression while his manhood remained firm. One of the bathers attending Matthew moved in front of him and looked to the Matron.

"May I, Matron?" she inquired remembering her previous instructions regarding partial cleanings previous.

The Matron smiled at her, understanding exactly what she was asking.

"By Matthew's leave, Sister," she said almost wistfully.

The bather immediately smiled and turned to Matthew to make clear her intention.

"May I, Master Matthew?" she inquired.

The "Master" bit didn't sit well with him, but he now understood what she wanted. He nodded slightly and her smile in response could have lit the darkest of rooms. She seemed almost Scandinavian in appearance. Small framed with perky B cup breasts and what looked like a small, but very tight ass. She now turned around and presented that tight ass toward him, bending over at the waist. He saw from looking at her pussy, that it was already quite damp and would have no issue with entry. The other bathers were urging him on silently, and one slipped her hand down to his dick and began to slide it into the bather in front of him.

He felt her tightness and dampness and she grunted as he inserted. She began to rhythmically move back toward him enjoying every thrust. The Matron could see the pleasure in her face and one of her bathers began to lick at her wetness. The other two bathers were continuing to clean and caress Matthew loving the site of seeing their sister being pleased. One slipped their hand to his ass and began playing with the hole. He had never had his ass played with like this but didn't stop her either. He noticed that he was having to do very little thrusting as the bather was doing most of that herself.

Eventually the bather attending to his asshole replaced her soapy finger with her mouth and began tonguing at it, thrusting in and out. Matthew found that he really liked the sensation and began to thrust harder into the bather in front of him. The third of the trio was rubbing his chest and began kissing him deeply on the lips. Even with all this stimulation, he found that he was still in control of his orgasm, almost like a switch to be flicked. He could experience the pleasure but felt in total control of his release.

The Matron saw the attention Matthew was receiving and was now receiving the same herself, with one of her bathers attending to her backside in the same way. She eventually cried out in ecstasy and the trio began immediately cleaning off any sweat or anything else that came off of her. Matthew could tell this added greatly to her pleasure. He then heard the bather in front of her cry out in pleasure as well. Not as loud as Blana, but very full throated. She thrusted back even more, and Matthew decided that it was now time. He grabbed her hips and thrust hard into her. He then "flipped the switch" so to speak and erupted inside her. Feeling the hard slap of his cum, she immediately had another orgasm as her sacred place tried to get as much of his seed as possible.

He finally ended his release, and the women began cleaning him up as well. The bather that had been kissing him started cleaning his cock with her mouth causing electric sensations to Matthew. The bather in front of him cupper her pussy trying to ensure that all of his load would stay contained in her. She smiled at him.

"Thank you, Master Matthew."

"What is your name?" Matthew innocently asked.

Seems polite to ask the name of someone you just fucked.

"Envira, Master Matthew," she responded while seeming to curtsy.

They finished cleaning both of them off and escorted them out of the pool. The Matron and Matthew were fully dried as Tiana reentered the room. She bowed to the Matron and reported.

"The sisters are gathering now, Matron. We can proceed when you are ready."

"Thank you, Tiana," the Matron responded. "Please have Sisters Alaria and Sani join us before we go to the platform."

"They are already there awaiting you both, Matron," Tiana responded.

"Wonderful! Walk with us, Tiana," the Matron requested/commanded.

"Honored, Matron," Tiana responded.

Blana took Matthew's hand and the three departed out.

Matthew loved the feeling of the warm sun on his now thoroughly cleaned body. Matthew realized for the first time that he had not felt too hot or cold his entire time here. He also found no need for sunglasses or other protection from the sun. This made him curious.

"Matron, may I ask if anyone here wears lotion or anything to protect from the sun?"

"The waters protect us from any sun burning or anything. The Goddesses provide all," the Matron responded while squeezing Matthew's hand.

Tiana looked back at the two and smiled at the question and answer. The Matron noticed this and decided to ask the question.

"Tiana, now that Matthew is remaining with us, he will need his own attendants. Would it please you to be among the three?"

She stopped in her tracks with a look of shock and happiness in her face.

"Matron! Master! You honor me so!" Tiana responded. She fell to her knees in front of Matthew.

"I promise to serve you faithfully, Master, in all things. You will never regret bestowing me this privilege!" Tiana continued.

Matthew caressed her cheek and acknowledged this.

"Thank you for your help. I'm very grateful."

Tiana had small tears in her eyes as she had hoped to be assigned to him. She then stood and continued escorting the two. Blana then whispered in Matthew's ear.

"I do believe you made her decade, Matthew. She is a wonderful attendant and will serve you very well," she said smiling at him.

"Do you think that Alaria and Sani will accept as well?" Matthew inquired.

"I think you will persuade them..." Blana said with almost a mischievous grin.

The trio made their way to what almost looked like a backstage area to Matthew. There were a set of curtains in front of them and Matthew could see a large platform through the cracks. He heard a crowd beyond it that was murmuring. Matthew then saw Sani and Alaria move toward the three and they bowed their heads.

"Everything is prepared, Matron. We will be ready to proceed in a few minutes," Sani reported.

"Thank you, sisters," the Matron responded. "Matthew, I believe has a question for you both if you will come over here."

They all moved to a slightly more secluded area away from the platform and the other sisters.

"Go ahead, Matthew," Blana instructed.

The two women looked intently at Matthew while Tiana was doing her best to suppress her smile.

"Um, the Matron told me that I was welcome to stay permanently on the island if I wanted," Matthew began. Both women had smiles on their faces hearing this. "After thinking it over, I've accepted."

Both women cheered as quietly as they could. The Matron looked on approvingly and smiled, knowing how happy this would make them.

"She also told me that I would need three attendants assigned to me if I were to stay. Tiana has already agreed to be one of them."

Alaria and Sani held each other's hands in anticipation of what was to come next, praying to the Goddesses it would be what they hoped.

"I was wondering if the two of you would consider..."

Before he could finish the two swarmed Matthew and hugged and kissed him profusely. He could feel the heat from their bodies, and it was starting to give him a semi.

The Matron laughed and looked them over.

"I think you have your answer, Matthew," the Matron joked.

Sani and Alaria then fell to their knees in front of Matthew. Alaria spoke first.

"Thank you, Matthew! You have honored us beyond our dreams. We will serve you faithfully and fully."

"Our devotion will not waver, and I am sure all three of us will never give occasion to regret bestowing us so," Sani added.

Matthew smiled at them and as meekly as he could, bade them to both stand up. They then proceeded to hug and kiss Tiana as well.

"This is a joyous day, sister!" Alaria declared.

The Matron greatly enjoyed the scene and shared their joy. But she soon went about going back to issues at hand.

"Sisters, we will swear you in officially on the platform so all will be made aware. The honored rooms are being prepared for Matthew for his personal residence. After this, will you ensure that your belongings are brought up and that everything is ready for Matthew?"

"Yes, Matron," all three answered simultaneously.

A signal from a sister on the side indicated to all that everything was ready.

"Are you ready, Matthew," Blana asked.

"As ready as I will be, I guess," Matthew answered pensively.

"Sisters," the Matron said using her hands to indicate it was time. As they walked toward the platform the curtains were pulled back.

The gathering of sisters outside was enormous. The Matron privately believed that the whole sisterhood was gathered. Matthew looked over the crowd and saw what looked like thousands of women all seeming to cheer. He looked at Blana who was smiling as she approached the center stage. Matthew hung back behind her with his now attendants. The Matron raised her hands to indicate to the crowd that she was ready to speak.

"Sisters, the Goddesses have blessed us this day!"

The crowd cheered at this, clearly showing their agreement.

"The long-awaited prophesy has been fulfilled and our womanhood fully restored! For this we give thanks to the Goddesses in their majesty and to the one who made this possible!" she said indicating Matthew.

The crowd roared in approval, and he could swear that some were actually chanting his name. The Matron heard this as well and her heart swelled for him.

"For this service, Matthew has our everlasting love and gratitude! But my sisters, I cannot in good conscious force him to stay with us against his will!"

The crowd now was almost mournful, quiet. Matthew could see the sorrow spread through the ranks. The Matron looked back at Matthew and winked.

"Which is why, my sisters.... Of his own accord, he has determined to remain with us!"

The crowd now roared in approval as a wave of relief swept through them. They now began to loudly cheer him. The Matron beckoned Matthew to step forward to join her. This only got the crowd more worked up. Matthew felt the love and so many naked women cheering him only made his dick swell. The crowd saw this as well and loved the sight. After a minute or two, the Matron beckoned them to settle once again.

"To this end, I am declaring that henceforth he shall be designated as "Honored One" among us!"

The crowd now starting shouting this to him as well. Again, the Matron moved to quiet the crowd.

"Our glorious sisters Alaria, Tiana, and Sani have been blessed to serve as his attendants. Bring forth the sacred bindings!"

A sister now came out with a pillow that had three leather chokers with jewels and the symbol from Matthew's ring.

"Sisters, come forward!" the Matron commanded.

The three obeyed and stood in front of the Matron and the Honored One. They bowed and fell to their knees.

"Do you swear to serve the Honored One in all things, protecting him from harm, ensuring the loyalty of the sisterhood and divine service to the Goddesses'?"

"We do onto death," all three sisters responded.

"Honored One, adorn your attendants!" the Matron commanded.

The sister who held the pillow came to Matthew and he grabbed the first choker. He approached Alaria first and fastened it around her throat. She then bent down and kissed each of his feet. He repeated this toward Tiana and Sani with them both also kissing his feet. Matthew then moved back toward the Matron as he thought he should, and no one stopped him.

"Rise, Honored Attendants and receive the blessings of our sisterhood!"

The crowd cheered as they rose and turned to the crowd, but Matthew noticed it was slightly less than he had received. Matthew quickly thought of why this might be.

They wish it was them.

The Honored Attendants then moved to Matthew's side slightly behind him. The Matron satisfied that the task was now completed, turned back to the crowd.

"In the coming time, The Honored One shall bless us all and give rebirth to our sisterhood! A new era dawns today!!"

The crowd then roared with approval and cheered both the Matron and the Honored One. The Matron started waving to the crowd and beckoned Matthew to do so as well. He did, feeling more than a little embarrassed as it now occurred to him what his destiny was to be.

I have to impregnate them all!!

The group returned to the back area with the crowds still cheering in their approval. The Honored Attendants then came forward to Matthew and bowed their heads.

"Honored One, with your approval; we shall see that the Honored Rooms are prepared to the fullest," Tiana stated.

While he was uncomfortable with the formality, he nodded his head slightly and the three retreated out, bowing once again. The Matron now came forward.

"You did very well, Matthew."

"Thank you, Matron. I didn't really do much though," Matthew stated matter-of-factly.

"Fear not, Matthew. You will," Blana stated with resolve and a very obvious grin. "Let us now have lunch while your rooms are being prepared," Blana suggested, offering her hand. Matthew took her hand and she led him out. He noticed that they were heading back to where they had breakfast earlier today. They entered and the attendants immediately bowed to them both.

"Please prepare some refreshments for us, sisters," the Matron commanded. The attendants bowed again and left to do as instructed. The Matron sat down, and Matthew moved to sit next to her.

"Is everything going to be this formal going forward?" Matthew inquired.

"Yes, Matthew," the Matron answered. "Now that you are consecrated as the Honored One, you will be shown the same level of respect as I. I would tell you that you will grow accustomed to it, but even I tire of it," the Matron said almost mournfully. She then smiled and looked into his eyes. "But for you and me, it shall always be Matthew and Blana," the Matron stated softly grabbing his hand. Matthew smiled at this thought.

At least I'm not alone in this.

The attendants returned carrying trays of fruits and drinks. They bowed as they served and retreated back to the sides. Matthew thanked them as they did so, and they all smiled at him.

"Now, Matthew," the Matron stated, "Let us discuss the way forward."

Matthew turned his body toward her while taking a sip of his drink which he discovered to be very good lemonade.

"You will be expected to join with as many of our sisters as possible and whenever you desire. You must be sure to ask permission before proceeding, but this is largely a formality as I would doubt that anyone would refuse. The Honored Attendants will be your escorts through the villages ensuring that you are not overcome with attention."

Matthew nodded while he was taking all of this.

"You may be with anyone you choose, but always be sure to join with your attendants at least once a day. Also, as much as I relished taking your seed on my body earlier, you must be sure to do so inside of the sister going forward. I am sure it goes without saying that self-satisfaction for you will be unnecessary and would bring insult to the sisters."

"I understand," Matthew responded feeling almost overwhelmed.

The Matron smiled. "Also, be sure that you still visit me on occasion as well. It would be a great joy to share my bed and join with you," Blana requested with her trademark grin. Matthew picked up on the hint and smiled while bowing his head slightly.

"Once a sister is impregnated and known to be carrying, it is traditional not to spill into her again until after the child has emerged. This is to ensure that your seed is spread to as many as possible. You may still join with them, especially myself and the Honored Attendants, but be sure to have another sister there to receive your seed at your commencement."

Matthew saw the logic of this and nodded again.

"So, once the babies are born, what does my role entail then?" Matthew asked.

The Matron smiled as she appreciated the thoughtfulness of the question.

"As far as direct parenting, none. The child is taken to our nursery and raised so she can learn the ways of the sisterhood."

"What if the child is a boy?" Matthew pushed.

"According to the prophesy, there will only be females born from the Honored One. The sisterhood is what will be replenished. Once the young sisters have their first cycles, they will be considered full sisters and a ceremony conducted. They will be schooled in the ways of pleasure among the sisterhood before this, but this will be your opportunity to share your seed with them as well."

This got Matthew's attention.

"You want me to join with my own "daughters"?" Matthew asked anxiously.

"Of course!" the Matron stated. "This will allow the sisterhood to grow and keep our ranks flush. You must understand that what is considered in the outside world as incest does not exist here. Joining and showing love among all is what the sisterhood strives for. Denying this to those who spring from you would be terrible and cruel. You would not wish to deny them, would you?"

Matthew rolled this around in his head. Realizing that this issue was quite a few years off, he decided to go with the flow for now.

"I see your point, sorry to offend," Matthew responded.

Blana smiled at him. "Fear not, Matthew. Soon you will feel honored and blessed in this. Please believe me."

"Of course, Matron," Matthew answered.

"Blana, Matthew. Always Blana to you," she reproached smiling as she did. Matthew returned the smile. "To the rest of the sisterhood, we must play our roles. But to each other, we may truly be as equals."

They continued to enjoy the refreshments while Matthew pondered more questions.

"So, how long can you all extend your lives here? Are you immortal?"

The Matron sighed at this question, which she knew was appropriate.

"Yes and no. With the sacred waters, we do not age past a certain point as will it be with you. That being said, accidents can happen, and sisters may not be able to get to a sacred pool soon enough. It is rare, however. If a sister stays on the island, yes, they can likely maintain their lives indefinitely."

"If they stay?"

"Yes. Now that the cycles have been restarted and new generations of sisters will be forthcoming, sisters may eventually decide to remain here or to explore the outer world. This is extremely important. To ensure our mandate from the Goddesses of joining our world with the outer world, sisters will travel within it and work toward the greater bond. Some will go out of duty and others pure curiosity. Seeing your world from the crystals is quite different than travelling in it."

"So the crystals allow you to see my world?"

"Yes," she replied, "with the crystals we can monitor events and keep current on the state of your world. It is necessary so we can learn and so that we can know your world. Curiosity gets to us all, in time."

"I guess you're right. If you grow up around a wall, you wanna see what's on the other side," Matthew quipped.

One other question had been on Matthew's mind, and he figured now was as good a time as any.

"May I ask you a question about you?"

Blana was interested immediately about this, looking at Matthew and smiling.

"Of course, Matthew. Anything you wish."

"I was curious how you became Matron of the island. Is it an elected position or hereditary or what?"

Blana was actually wondering how long it would take Matthew to ask about this.

"When the Goddesses left us, they designated me to lead the people. I have a council of advisors that assist me and help to ensure all of the sisterhood is listened to. The Honored One of course is a part of that counsel. If something were to happen to me, that council would then choose a new leader unless the Goddesses return to bless us."
