After realizing I was going to teach Artoria how to cultivate. I didn't hesitate to get started as Artoria herself didn't have the 'talent' for martial arts or magic that her other children had.
Cultivation however? Especially the cultivation system of Martial World was on the higher end... And being of a higher-end meant that I could abuse loopholes and resources to make people who didn't have as much, if any talent be able to cultivate.
As for what 'supreme cultivation' style I was going to endow upon Artoria. Allowing her to flip the world and capture the stars within her palms in the future...
Yeah, I engraved a dual cultivation art into her mind scape as I folded her into a mating press so that her cultivation was tied with how often and hard we went at fucking.
Not only did this help her cultivate, as we did our deeds. But most cultivation styles punished women in particular for having sex and especially for having kids, as it would damage their life essence.
"And you say it will extend my lifespan and make me stronger hmm?" Artoria whispered as our nude forms lay intertwined across my bed. Her large breasts pushed into my side and my own lower chest as she kissed my neck with each breath.
Then my face twitched as she giggled and said. "If anything... I would be happiest if this would strengthen my shoulders. My chest is rather heavy after all."
I squeezed Artoria's waist with my hands before I said with a hum. "Good. I am glad you believed in me."
Artoria sniffed in reply before she said with a sigh. "I signed away my life to become your retainer. You are close friends with several of my daughters and even saved a couple of their lives. I know you woudn't hurt me."
Then she kissed up my neck to my jaw line before kissing down to my ear and sucking on my earlobe before she whispered. "We both already gave so much to one another... If you fall asleep with your face between my breasts, if you want to put a new child in my womb. How in the world could I think you would want to harm me?"
She giggled at my shudder at the mention of putting a child inside of her with her exhaling softly into my ear as she said softly and so quietly. "I have been so lonely with all my girls leaving home, Jake... Taking care of you kids is a bit of work. But my nest in my heart is so empty."
"I am barely even over thirty years old, Jake. In the last decade, I spent half of those years pregnant than not... I need a man in my life to keep my bed warm you understand Jake?"
'Yup! Time for the milf to get pregnant!' I thought as Artoria clearly baby crazy to say the least.
-
After almost throwing out Artoria's hips in extreme baby-making sexual depravity, complete with hand holding in the dark for several hours.
I went and spent a good bit of time with the rest of my friends, especially my shipgirls, as they weren't going to be coming with me to the Rose family's estate.
After spending time with my friends with my bags packed for a couple weeks-long vacation, I made my way to the airport at the edge of the mountains where Beacon was built.
And as I reached the end, it didn't take me long to find Ruby and Summer as Ruby herself was excitedly waving at me from outside of what could only have been the Rose Duke families own Bullhead.
The V-TOL style bullhead was larger the other's with several more weapon systems attached to it. And clear glowing runes embedded into it's metal frame.
"Jake! I am so excited you are coming over!" Ruby said with something much 'more' than mere excitement with her cheer as she grinned at me.
And without much fuss, I threw my baggage into the side panels of their ship for storage and Ruby all but dragged me onto the plane, which in reality looked more like a luxury hotel room than anything.
"So you guys use this plane a lot?" I asked as the front loading area was a living room, and nearer the front was a couple of small bedrooms.
Ruby nodded, but then pouted as she said in some annoyance. "Yup! We used to use it to visit the other Silver Eye family in Atlas. But tension between Vale and Atlas has made that almost impossible for us to visit."
Not so much that Atlas was outright refusing them entry... But it was clear Summer was worried about Atlas letting them go at all.
Then a seat spun around, and I blinked at seeing Summer out of her combat outfit and wearing a very flattering sundress of all things as she smiled at me and waved.
"I am glad you aren't late... I expected Luxanna to make you late by a day as she would throw any number of excuses, haha." Summer laughed, and honestly, I couldn't blame her.
Lux clearly was at the end of her rope with other teachers entering my life.
Still, I could only defend my master as I said easily. "She merely wishes the best for me and wants to watch out for me."
At both silver-eyed women's unbelieving gazes, I cleared my throat and took a seat across from Summer on a couch that had seat belts built between the cushions's
Then, without any shame at all! Ruby threw herself into the seat next to me and began chattering happily. "I got soooo much to show you around my house Jake! My room has a piano I can play pretty well, we got a swimming pool, gym, and an indoor sports area to play ball games!"
Summer then added with a light chuckle. "We also employ several very skilled chefs at all hours. So if you desire any snacks or any particular meal, please send a message to the chefs, and they will make it for you."
"Thank you for bringing me into your home." I said respectfully with Summer chuckling and responding with words that made Ruby flush and squeak out a hushed 'Mooom!'
"Of course, we are going to open our home to you. You have the Silver Eye's so you are basically family already. Well, speaking of family, you and Ruby are also rather close, aren't you?"
"Mooom! Don't be weird!" Ruby whined with Summer just giggling with her eye's tightening with amusement.
Then, with a hum, she clicked a button or something in her chair, and then she spoke. "The Bullhead will be leaving in five minutes now Jake. Are you suuure, you didn't forget anything?"
I shook my head and said firmly. "No, I got more than a week of separate clothes, including a couple sets of dress clothes and other things. I am fine."
To which Summer nodded and then she looked to Ruby before she looked back to me with more of a serious expression. "Good. Then tomorrow, after you settle in. We will start on your first day of training. Getting you to open your Silver Eye's truly. Is the most important thing."
"I should tell you, though, Summer. Some weird girl from the church was waiting for me at Beacon." I said with a frown.
Summer blinked and then rolled her eyes. "Bah, if some little girl wants your children, either do it or have one of your retainers keep your seed or something."
Ruby looked ready to hiss at her mom, but both of them froze as I said in a cooler tone. "If that was the case. It would far simpler to deal with. No, she all but blatantly threatened to rip my own eyes own to replace her own hollow sockets."
There was a pause as both Rose's absorbed that information before Summer actually hissed at some realization.
Then she grimaced before looking at Ruby, before she spoke quietly and coldly. "The church for all the good it does in this world, hunting the Abominations, and Grimm themselves are not without their inner power struggles within their halls."
She shook her head and took a deep breath. "You remember the Pope, correct Jake? She was also once a sacrificial conduit meant to empower a champion of the church in the same ritual you, yourself went through."
"While your conduit obviously burnt itself to ashes in order for the God of Light to properly descend and give you your eyes. She lost her eyes as almost all conduits do, but she didn't die, and her soul was only strengthened instead of burnt out by the god of light."
Summer took a breath and said with a frown. "There is a cult within the Church now... Called the True Born. Women who were once used as conduits but survived and given power, like the Pope and that Arch Bishop from Mistral, they have already taken over a large portion of the Church's leadership in truth."
My lips formed a frown as I realized the true threat involved then. Ozpin and my master couldn't have been blind to this either.
So when they told me to go on ahead... Take a couple of nuns and pump them full of my seed to get the church off my back.
What they truly meant was for those children to be sacrifices to keep the church from going after my own eyes.
Did it piss me off that they told me to do so? A bit, but this world's depths were far deeper than the normal world of RWBY. And just because I was 'close' to some of the top figures in Vale's humanity.
I was still far off from taking on the responsibilities of a Sage, let alone a Sage King like Ozpin, who was the reason humanity survived up to this point on this continent.
Summer cleared her throat and then asked. "Did... Something actually happen with you and that nun?"
To which I could only smile wryly as I said helplessly. "I threatened to kill her, and when she got mouthy, I almost cut her in half as she tried to stroll away through a portal after threatening to pull my eyes from my corpse."
Summer's face twitched as she took a breath and said helplessly. "That girl... She looked alot like the Pope herself, correct?"
And at my nod, Summer continued. "That was very likely Pope's daughter, you could say... More of a clone made out of holy energy, the Pope's own genetics, and a large amount of distilled faith-filled souls."
"Didn't think the church would get involved in such things." I said with a grimace at the thought.
But even as Summer snorted. Ruby herself said with clear disgust. "For all their brightness and holy front. Their darkness in the Inquisition is a stark contrast to match their faith in the Light."
Ruby then looked around furtively before she whispered. "You can't mention this, Jake... But supposedly, some members of the Inquisition even worship a God of Darkness! Which is utter heresy, and if anyone publicly tried to do that, the church would burn them alive as a heretic!"
'Uhhh, sorry Ruby. But the God of Darkness did exist at one point. His ass dying is the reason that the Grimm are overpowered as fuck. And the God of Light is all but bailing on this world as he hides from his shame of killing his brother.' I thought helplessly.
Still after that, Summer cleared her throat and said firmly. "Yes, Jake... Do not even joke about members of the church worshiping a god of 'darkness'. The church takes any such mention of a being extremely seriously."
Then Summer put on a more easy smile, though it was clear her mind was on our previous conversation.
"As for the Pope's daughter Lucille... She won't dare touch you in the open. And the Inquisition has its own Sages who not even the Pope can fully command so do not worry for Sages, especially won't come after you with Ozpin and The Goodwitch as your backing."
"Now! How about some chocolate-covered strawberries and some cookies that Ruby and I made before we came to pick you up?" Summer finished with a clap of her hands.
And from the cockpit of the bullhead came two faunus maids bringing out a couple of tray's of those snacks to us.
'Well, I am probably going to gain a couple of pounds from all these sweets.' I thought helplessly as Ruby happily handed me a chocolate strawberry.
Clearly waiting for me to bite into it and declare how it was obviously the greatest thing ever.
