Aphrodite’s Harem Ch. 3

The next day after Aphrodite and her girls woke up, they returned back to the spot they teleported from. After they arrived, they were greeted by Peter, walking up to them, saying. "Welcome back."

"Dude, were you waiting for us?" Ember asked

"Yes." Peter said. "I'm sorry, but you said you would help, find the children."

"Yes, and we plan to do that." Katana said.

"I'm just so worried about my son, PJ" Peter said.

"PJ?" Rose asked. "Is that short for Peter Junior."

"No." Peter said. "It's short for Peanut Butter and Jelly."

"You named your son, Peanut Butter and Jelly?" Rose asked.

"Yes, it's a very unique name." Peter said.

"I love it!" Aphrodite exclaimed.

"Of course you do." Ember said.

"Shouldn't it be PBJ?" Rose asked.

"Huh, you make a good point." Peter said. "But it's too late to change it now."

"Alright, let us split up and look around the town." Katana said. "We will go in groups of two."

"I call Dite!" Ember said.

"No, I get Dite!" Rose said.

"You two will pair up together." Katana said. "Me and my love will search together."

"Why do you get to be with her?" Ember asked. "You spent all day with her yesterday."

"I am the strongest one here." Katana said. "That means I am the best choice to keep her safe."

"Do I get a choice in this?" Aphrodite asked.

"No!" The other three girls said.

"Fine, let's go flame brain." Rose said.

"Whatever." Ember said, as Rose and her headed off to the north part of town.

"You girls sure are energetic." Peter said.

"Yup!" Aphrodite energetically said.

"Let us go, my love." Katana said, heading to the south part of town.

"Coming!" Aphrodite said, following Katana.

"Good luck!" Peter said, waving to the girls as they walked away.

The girls searched the town for hours looking for any clues but found nothing. Searching in an alley, Katana signed, turned to Aphrodite and asked. "Do you really think we can find these children?"

"Of course we can!" Aphrodite said. "We have to, if we don't who knows what will happen to them."

"I know you want to help, but if the police of the town were not able find anything, then how can we?" Katana asked. "And what if they are already..."

"Don't say that!" Aphrodite yelled. "They're alive, I can feel it, and they're somewhere in this town, I just can't tell where."

"You two are looking for the missing children, correct?" Turning around Katana and Aphrodite saw a tall brown skinned man, sanding in the alleyway's entrance.

"Yes, do you know anything?" Aphrodite asked.

"I've heard rumors." The tall man said.

"What rumors?" Katana asked.

"Come into my bar and I'll tell you." The man said, as he turned around and left the alley, Aphrodite and Katana followed him out.

On the first level of the town is a park, a big section of the town covered in grass with a white marble wall surrounding it. The park was full of playground equipment for children to play, but there was no one there, except Ember and Rose, who had been searching for clues, but to no avail. Annoyed Ember said. "There is nothing here, why are we wasting time, when we could be searching somewhere else."

"This is where, Peter's son was last seen, so there has to be some sort of clue to where he went." Rose said, sitting in the middle of the park, an old book open in her lap.

"What are you doing, anyway?" Ember asked.

"There is a spell that lets me see what has happened in the past." Rose explained. "It can take the leaves from the tree and recreate the event."

"So why aren't you casting it?" Ember asked.

"I'm trying to, but it takes a lot of concentration." Rose said. "And you constantly interrupting me doesn't help, hot head."

"What do you two think you're doing?" Turning to look in the direction of the voice, Rose and Ember saw a man was wearing a black suit, with a police badge on the side of his hip, a white stick ,sticking out of his mouth.

"We are investigating the miss children." Rose said.

Pulling out the purple lollipop from his mouth, the man said. "And what business is it to you?"

"We agreed to help find them for someone." Rose said. "Now if you don't mind, I need quiet to do this."

"Hey, you're the jerk that wouldn't give a lollipop to Dite!" Ember yelled.

"Are you talking about that annoying pink haired girl?" The man said.

"What did you say about her?" Ember angrily asked, her hair lighting on fire.

"William is everything alright here?" Mayor Youth said, as he walked into the park.

"Mayor, these girls are messing around in this serious investigation." William said, putting the lollipop back into his mouth.

Looking over to Rose and Ember, the Mayor asked. "Are you two friends with those two girls, who showed up here yesterday?"

"Aphrodite and Katana?" Rose asked. "Yeah."

"Well then, William, I have given them permission to see if they could find anything." The Mayor said. "Mabey a new set of eyes can discover something we missed."

"Fine, but if you go around causing trouble, you will be sending the night in jail." William angrily said, before he turned and walked away.

"Don't mind him." The Mayor said. "He's under a lot of stress trying to solve this case."

"Yeah, well that doesn't give him the right to be a jerk." Ember said.

"Your one to talk." Rose said.

"You want to start something, short stack!" Ember said, her hair still aflame.

"Well, I'll leave you two to do your thing, I hope you can find something useful." The Mayor said. As The Mayor left the park Ember turned to Rose and said. "We're not gonna find anything useful here."

"If you'll be quiet I can concentrate and we will have an answer." Rose said.

"Have you ever cast this spell?" Ember asked.

"No, I've never needed to before." Rose replied.

"So, how do you know it will work." Ember asked.

"It will, if you just shut up!" Rose yelled.

"Forget this, I'm going to go looking somewhere else." Ember said walking away. "Have fun, sitting there all night."

At Gunter's bar, Aphrodite and Katana sat at the bar while Gunter was behind the bar handing a glass of milk to Aphrodite. With a smile Aphrodite said. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Gunter said. "Are you sure you don't want anything?"

"No, I am fine." Katana said. "Can you tell us about that rumor?"

Putting one hand up to the side of his mouth, and looking around quickly, he bent over the bar right in the girl's faces and said. "I shouldn't tell you this, but I heard that Mrs. Backer was seen at a hotel with a man other than her husband."

"No way." Aphrodite said, shocked. "Does he have any idea?"

"I don't think so." Gunter said.

"That is not the rumor we were expecting." Katana said. "Can you please tell us about the missing children?"

"Oh, yeah, sorry." Gunter said. "I shouldn't tell you this, but I heard that the first child went missing a month after Fredrick and his gang arrived here."

"Rose and Ember already told us, about them." Katana sighed. "I guess we will just have to find them, and ask them if they know where the children are."

"The police have already asked them." Gunter said. "And they have just denied being involved."

"Then we will not ask nicely." Katana said.

"Is there anything else you can tell us?" Aphrodite asked.

"Yes, actually, I shouldn't tell you this, but Officer William was made chief of police at the same time as Fredrick's gang appeared." Gunter said.

"So, he might be involved." Katana said.

"Who is Officer William?" Aphrodite asked.

"The Mayor said, he was the cop that would not give you a lollipop." Katana said.

"That meanie!" Aphrodite said. "He's involved, now I really don't like him."

"I shouldn't tell you this..." Gunter started to say.

"But, you heard" Katana finished.

"Officer William really loves lollipops." Gunter said.

"We knew that already." Aphrodite said.

As the girls were talking to Gunter, a man with tan skin, short spiky dark brown hair, and a mechanical right hand, walked up to the bar, put two gold coins on the bar, and said. "Hey, Gunter one beer please."

"Coming right up." Gunter said, as he reached under the bar and handed the man a juice box.

"Thanks..." The man said, taking the juice box, before realizing what he was holding. "Dude, I asked for a beer, you want me to tell Fredrick you trying to trick me."

"No, but alcohol is very..." Gunter started to say.

"Dangerous, yeah yeah, so you keep saying." The man said. "Look, I'm paying you for a beer, so give me a damn beer."

Gunter reached under the bar and handed the man a can of beer. The man smiled and said. "Thanks, and here's a little something for your trouble."

The man tossed a bronze coin an Gunter, who caught it with one hand. The man turned and walked away. Katana watched the man as he walked to an empty table in the back left corner of the bar, sat down and opened his beer.

"You really don't like alcohol do you?" Aphrodite asked.

"Alcohol is bad for you, it can cause liver problems." Gunter said. "Also, when people drink they say things they shouldn't."

"Like what?" Aphrodite asked.

"I shouldn't tell you this, but I heard that..." Gunter started to say, but Katana wasn't paying attention to what he was saying, instead she was watching the man drink his beer. When the man was done, he got up, tossed his beer can on the floor, and left the bar.

"My love, I think we should head out." Katana said, getting off of her seat.

"Okay." Aphrodite said, getting off her seat and following Katana to the door, before she exited the building, she turned around and said. "Thanks for the help, bar guy."

Aphrodite and Katana followed the man out of the bar, and down the road, then the man turned into an alley. As the girls approached the alley they heard a man say. "It's not polite to follow people."

Turning around the two girls saw they were surrounded, in front of them was a brown skinned man wearing a top hat, on their right was a pale skinned blonde woman, holding a mace, and on their left was a white and black bunnyman, holding two hand axes in his hands. Walking up behind them was the man they were following, his mechanical hand, transformed into a big hook, smiling, he said. "You girls should be more careful about who you stalk."

"If you wanted to talk, you could have just asked." The brown skinned man said.

"Are you Fredrick?" Katana asked, her right hand wrapped around the hilt of her sword.

"Yes, but there is no need for this to turn violent." Fredrick said.

"Where are the missing kids?" Aphrodite asked.

"Why do you want to know?" The blonde woman asked.

"Because we promised to find them for Peanut Butter and Jelly's dad." Aphrodite said.

"I don't think this ones all there in the head, cheek cheek." The bunnyman said. "But she sure is hot, cheek cheek."

"Uh, thanks?" Aphrodite said. "But you're not my type."

"Enough, tell us where they are." Katana said. "Or else."

"Are you threating us?" Fredrick asked. "You don't know who I am do you?"

"You are just some, low life punk." Katana said. Out of the corner of her eye Katana saw the blonde girl run up to her, and swings her mace at Katana's head. Katana blocked the woman's attack with her sword, the sheath still on it, the woman lifted up her mace preparing for another attack. Seeing an opening Katana swung her sword, hitting the woman in the head, knocking her out.

"You bitch!" The tan skinned man said.

"You're gonna pay, cheek cheek." The bunnyman said, bending his legs and jumping up high into the air, as the tan man charged at Katana, preparing to strike her with his hook. Katana swung her sword and hit the man charging at her, knocking him out. As the bunnyman started to descend, holding his axes above his head, he started to spin his body forward so fast that he became a blur. Katana raised her sword above her head, and blocked the bunnyman's attack. Landing back on the ground, the bunnyman held up his two axes and said. "As a bunnyman I have tons of energy, cheek cheek. So I can go all night, cheek..."

Before he could finish this sentence, Katana had appeared in front of him and swung her sword, hit him and knocked him out. As the bunnyman landed on the ground, Fredrick said. "Nice, you are very strong, but now I'm sorry to say, is the day you die."

Fredrick charged at Katana with incredible speed, pulling back his fist ready to strike, but before he could land his hit, Katana struck him with her sword in his stomach, sending him falling to the ground on his back.

Standing over him Katana, unsheathed her sword, pointed it at Fredrick, and said. "Now tell us where the children are, unless you want to lose your head."

"I don't know." Fredrick said. "We had nothing to do with it, I swear."

Katana turned her head to look at Aphrodite, who said. "I think he's telling the truth."

Returning her sword into its sheath, Katana hit Fredrick in the head, knocking him out, and said. "We need to regroup with the other two."

As Katana was fighting Fredrick and his gang, Rose was still sitting in the park, her book on her lap, and her eyes closed. Suddenly the leaves on the trees, flew off toward wear rose was sitting, and merged together to make the shape of a young boy. Opening her eyes Rose saw the recreation of Peter's son standing right in front of her, smiling to herself, she said. "Yes, I told that hot head, it would work."

Watching as the boy started to run towards the playground, Rose followed him, but soon he disappeared into a green blur. Rose said confused. "What was that?"

Rose closed her eyes and the leaves replayed the scene this time, Rose used her magic to make the leaves freeze. Staring in shock at the scene in front her, Rose saw the boy being picked up by Officer William. As she stood there, she heard in her head, Aphrodite say. "Regroup."

"Meet at the park." Rose thought back.

The other girls soon arrived at the park, and informed each other what they had learned, Ember her hair on fire, said. "The jerk, I can't wait to kick his ass."

"We should inform the Mayor about this." Rose said.

"Do we know where he is?" Ember asked.

"No, we need to go look for him." Katana said.

"Okay, let's split up!" Aphrodite said.

"We should stay together this time." Rose said. "If he learns that we know, he may try something."

"That'll take too long, we need to tell him about Officer Meanie before he takes someone else." Aphrodite said.

"Fine, we will all go search the town for him." Katana said. "If you find him explain the situation, and then contact Aphrodite."

The girls agreed and ran off in different directions. Running through the town Aphrodite sees The Mayor talking to some townsfolk. Running towards him, Aphrodite yells. "Hey, Mayor Big Nose!"

The townsfolk walked away from The Mayor as Aphrodite reached him, and he said. "It's Mayor Youth, if you please, big lollipop girl."

"We found out who is responsible for the missing children." Aphrodite told him.

"Really?" The Mayor asked. "And who is it?"

"Officer Meanie." Aphrodite said.

"Officer Meanie?" The Mayor asked. "Who is that?"

"The mean guy who wouldn't give me a lollipop." Aphrodite said, pouting.

"Oh, you mean Officer William." The Mayor said. "And how do you know it is him."

"Rose used her magic, and it showed us." Aphrodite said.

"Oh, really?" The Mayor said. "This is not good."

"I know we have to go find him and make him tell us where the kids are." Aphrodite said.

"You're not going anywhere I'm afraid." The Mayor said.

"Why?" Aphrodite asked.

"Because, you've interfered with my plans." The Mayor said, his whole body glowing gold. When he stopped glowing, The Mayor stood in front of Aphrodite, but he was not the same old man, instead he was younger, his grey hair was now golden, and his frail body was now muscular. Smiling, he said. "And now you must die."

Chapter notes:

So Fredrick and his group of characters were meant to be a fake out for the real villain, hopefully it worked. Fredrick and his group were all based off of the original four animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy's.

I hope that I did an okay job with the fight scene for this chapter, next chapter will have more complex fights, hopefully I can get them right.

Also this chapter shows one of Aphrodite's powers, that of Telepathy.

I'm very much having fun writing, hope there are some of you out there that like reading this. As always criticism is always welcome.

I originally posted this story here: https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3352240/1/Aphrodite-s-Harem. But I have decided to post it on other sites to try and get more feedback.

I will continue to post chapters here, but if this story interested you and you would like to read more please check out the link above.

Aphrodite’s Harem Ch. 2

After saving the village from bandits, Aphrodite and her girls headed forward to the next interesting location. Aphrodite, a pale skinned woman of average height, with long wavy pink hair, was wearing a black tank top, white jeans, and black heels. Katana, a tall woman of Asian descent, with long black hair tied into a ponytail with a strip of white cloth, she was wearing white stripes of cloth wrapped around her chest, arms, crotch, and legs, on her hip was her sword resting in its sheath. Rose, a short pale skinned woman, with shoulder length brown hair, she was wearing a yellow dress, and brown boots, on her right hand was a tattoo of a rose. Ember, a brown skinned woman of average height, with short red hair, was wearing a white tee shirt, and a black leather jacket, jeans, boots, and fingerless gloves. Her nails are painted red, and she was wearing red eye shadow.

"What is that?" Ember asked, pointing into the distance at a shining white object. After walking a bit further, Rose said. "It looks like a fountain, but for us to be able to see it from here it must be a pretty big one."

"Then let's go to the fountain!" Aphrodite cheerfully said, and with that the girls had their next destination.

Arriving at the fountain, the girls stared in amazement at how big it was, it was a little over three stories high, as they walked forward the ground changed from dirt to white marble. A sign stood in front of them, it said, 'Welcome to Fountain Town.', behind the sign was two bridges, that went over a moat of water. Crossing the bridge to the left the girls saw the same white marble ground, which was split in half by a river of water, a bridge connected the two halves together. On both sides there were buildings made of the same white marble as the ground, around each building was a square of grass on the ground, with plant and trees growing, a mailbox stood at the edge of the square.

At the end of the river was a set of stairs on each side that connected as they went up, the stairs led to a higher level also made of marble with holes in its side, with water flowing out into the moat surrounding it and flowing into the river. On the second level the girls could see more marble buildings, some with signs for clothing, and food. There was another level higher than the second one, at the top was a huge fountain of water that shot into the sky before falling down to the second level. A few people were walking around, others were going in or coming out of the marble buildings, one was in the grass square around a building watering some plants. Looking around Rose said. "It looks like this is the residential district of the town, probably the financial district is up on the next level."

"We should probably get some food while we are here." Ember said. With that the girls headed up to the second level. Upon reaching the second level, it looked just like the first, with the ground being separated by a river of water, with bridges connecting the two halves together. The river went to another set of stairs that went up to the top level, where the fountain of water was being shot into the sky before it came back down into a moat that lead back into the river. Aphrodite looked in awe at the fountain top, and ran off into the crowd, Katana chased after her calling out. "Wait, my love!"

"There she goes." Ember said. "It looks like I'm stuck with you."

"Yeah, I'm so thrilled." Rose said, sarcastically. "Let's look for a grocery store, you have the money right?"

"Yup." Ember said, putting her hand into her pocket and bringing out two glittering gold coins. "Two should be enough, right?"

"It should, lets get the food, take it home, and then we can explore." Rose said, as she moved toward one of the stores. Rolling her eyes Ember sarcastically said. "Whatever you say boss."

Aphrodite, running through the town, followed by Katana, headed to the stairs that lead up to the third level, where the water was being shot to the sky. As she reached the stairs, Aphrodite saw a sign placed right in front of the stairs that said 'No Entry.'. Stopping in front of the sign, Aphrodite let out a sign and said. "I wanted to see were the water was coming out."

"It is probably closed to keep people from getting hurt." Katana said after catching up to Aphrodite. Hearing this, Aphrodite started to walk around the sign and climb up the stairs, Katana watched as she did this and asked. "What are you doing, my love?"

"You said it was here to keep people from getting hurt, but I don't have to worry about that." Aphrodite said smiling. Before Aphrodite could take another step up a low voice yelled out. "What do you think you are doing?"

Both girls turned their heads to see a pale skinned man with short brown hair, the end of his eyebrows continued up until they connected with his hair. The man was wearing a black suit, that had pockets on both sides of the chest, with small white sticks poking out if them, he also had a police badge on the side of his hip. The man stood behind Katana and looked annoyed as he said. "I'll ask you again, what do you think you are doing?"

"I'm going to see the top of the fountain." Aphrodite said. The man closed his eyes and let out an exhausted sigh and reached into his chest pocket and pulled out a purple lollipop, that he then put it his mouth. Looking back at Aphrodite he said. "Now, get away from there, or you are under arrest."

With a huff, Aphrodite got off the stairs and went back over to Katana. The man stared at the two girls before saying. "If I catch either of you here again, I will arrest you, we clear?"

"Yes, officer." Katana said, bowing.

"Good." The man said as he turned and started walking away.

"Hey, wait!" Aphrodite called out to the man.

"What?" The man said, turning around to face the girls.

"Can I have one of those?" Aphrodite asked, pointing to the lollipop in the man's mouth. "Please."

"No." The man said as he turned and started to walk away again.

"Meanie!" Aphrodite yelled.

"Come, my love, let us see if we can find you some at a store." Katana said.

"Fine." Aphrodite said, and with that the two women headed to the nearest store.

After they finished their shopping, Ember and Rose, walked into a building called 'Gunter's Bar'. The inside of the building looked nothing like the outside, which was beautiful white marble, the walls looked like they were made of wood planks, and the only light was coming in through the windows, two on each wall. Circular tables with four chairs per table were set up all around the bar, and on the wall opposite of the door was a bar, behind it were a couple of shelves with bottles of alcohol on them. Behind the bar stood a tall brown skinned man, with short white hair and mustache, he wore a blue shirt, tan pants, and a white apron, with a name tag that said 'Gunter'. The two girls walked to the bar, and sat down, the bartender, Gunter asked. "What can I get you?"

"I'll have a beer." Ember said.

"That will be two gold." Gunter said.

"Will this do?" Ember asked, giving the bartender a glittering gold coin.

"Goddess gold." Gunter said. "That will be more than enough."

Taking the gold coin from Ember, Gunter bent down under the bar, and straightened back up with a cup of white liquid. Gunter placed the cup in front of Ember, looking at the cup Ember asked. "What is this?"

"Milk." Gunter said.

"I didn't ask for milk." Ember said, moving the milk aside, in front of Rose. Rose, sitting next to Ember was barely listening to the conversation, as her attention was on the many wanted posters hung up on the right side wall. Looking closer at the posters, Rose noticed they were all of children.

"Oh, my mistake." Gunter said, as he bent down under the bar again, this time he placed a juice box in front of Ember. Looking at the juice box in front of her, Ember's red hair started to light on fire as she said. "I asked you for a beer, where is my beer?"

"Alcohol is bad for you." Gunter said. "It will destroy your kidneys, this is much safer to drink."

"I paid you for a beer, so give me a beer!" Ember yelled, her hair now completely engulfed in flames.

"Calm down, hot head." Rose said, as she picked up the cup of milk and poured it over Ember's head, putting out the flames.

"What the hell, small fry, you want to start something?" Ember yelled at Rose. Ignoring Ember, Rose said to the bartender. "Excuse me, bartender."

"Gunter." Gunter said. "My names Gunter."

"Ok, Gunter, what's with the missing person posters?" Rose asked as she pointed to the wall of posters. Ember, milk still running down her face, looked to where Rose was pointing. "I noticed they're all children."

"Yes, I'm sad to say we've had many children go missing this last year." Gunter said, putting one hand up to the side of his mouth, and looking around quickly, he bent over the bar right in the girl's faces and said. "I shouldn't tell you this, but I heard that those guys over there have something to do with it."

Gunter pointed a finger to the back left corner of the bar, Ember and Rose turned their heads to see who he was pointing to. Sitting at a table where four people, the first was a light brown skinned man, with short brown hair, wearing a black top hat, black pants, and no shirt. Cuddling up to the man was a pale woman with long blonde hair, wearing a white shirt with the phrase 'Bite Me' on it, and pink shorts. Another man had white skin with black spots over his body, he had two long rabbit ears on his head, sprouting from his messy black hair, long whiskers that grow from his cheeks, and big buck teeth, he was wearing a blue shirt and pants. The last man had tan skin and short spiky dark brown hair, he had a mechanical right hand, and was wearing an open orange button up shirt, exposing his bear chest, and blue shorts.

"The man in the hat is Fredrick and the rest is his gang." Gunter said. "They're the local troublemakers."

Noticing that he's being watched, Fredrick looked over at the bar, and smiled when he saw the girls watching him. Seeing their boss smiling, the other two guys turned to look at the girls, smiling at each other, they stood up and walked over to the bar. Reaching the bar, the tan skinned man wrapped his arm around Rose, while the bunny man wrapped his arm around Ember, the milk finally drying off her.

"What are two beauties like you doing here all alone?" The tan skinned man asked.

"I'm a bunny man, cheek cheek." The bunny man said "Come with me and I can give you the night of your life, cheek cheek."

"Sorry, but we're taken." Rose said.

"Yeah, so get your arm off me." Ember said.

"I'm sure we could treat you better than any man you have." The tan skinned one said.

"Yeah, cheek cheek." The bunny man said. "I'll show you the saying about bunny men is true, cheek cheek."

"I said, get your arm off me." Ember angrily said, as her body started to heat up. The bunny man screamed in pain and removed his arm from Ember's shoulder, his arm red and burned.

"What the hell, cheek cheek!" The bunny man cried. "You burned me, cheek cheek."

"I'll roast you alive, if you and your friend don't leave us alone." Ember threatened, putting her hand in front of the bunny man, and igniting it on fire. Taking his arm off Rose the tan skinned guy, walked over to the bunny man and said. "We'll leave you girls alone."

The two men walked back over to their table and sat down. Rose got out of her seat, turned to Ember, and said. "Come on, let's go find Dite."

"Fine, not like I'm getting my beer anytime soon." Ember said, getting out of her seat, glaring at Gunter. As the two girls headed to the exit, they passed by Fredrick's table. Fredrick smiled as they passed and said. "You two should watch yourselves out there, never know who may be around the corner."

"Is that a threat?" Ember asked.

"No, just some friendly advice." Fredrick said, the blonde woman cuddling up to him giggled, then said. "Won't want you to go missing."

Rose and Ember looked at each other before they headed out the door of the bar.

Aphrodite and Katana exited a candy store called 'Sweet Tooth Decay', Aphrodite holding a big rainbow colored lollipop, a childlike smile on her face as she licked it and said. "This is delicious, are you sure you don't want some, Katana?"

"Yes, I am fine." Katana said. "I do not care for sweets."

"Your loss." Aphrodite said, as she continued to happily lick her big lollipop.

"We should find the others, it is getting dark." Katana said.

The two girls started walking away from the store when they heard a man say. "Please Mayor, you have to have some news, my son, he's been gone for months now."

The two girls looked around and saw and middle aged man with short blue hair, wearing a black shirt, blue pants, and white shoes. The man was talking to an elder man with short gray hair, and a nose that seemed to be too big for his face, he was wearing a yellow button up shirt with red and blue poka-dots, white pants, and black shoes. The big nose man said. "I'm sorry Peter, but we still haven't found any clues to where the missing children have gone."

Katana and Aphrodite walked toward the two men and Katana asked. "Where was your son last seen?"

The two men turned their heads to look at the two women standing in front of them, Peter said. "We were at the park, I looked away for one second and he was gone, that was three months ago."

"We have checked the park, but there has been no trail." The big nose man said. "I don't believe I know you two, I'm Mayor Youth."

"Has anyone told you, you have a big nose." Aphrodite said.

"My love, that is not polite." Katana said.

"That's alright." The Mayor laughed. "And you have a big lollipop."

"Yeah, that mean guy wouldn't give me one of his, so we had to go buy one." Aphrodite said.

"I assume you are talking about William." The Mayor said. "He is our chief of police."

"Anyway, I am Katana, and this is Aphrodite." Katana told the Mayor. "We just arrived here earlier today."

"Well welcome to Fountain Town." The Mayor said. "I hope you've enjoyed your time here."

"This place is so cool!" Aphrodite said.

Turning her attention back to Peter, Katana asked. "You said your son been missing for three months?"

"Yes." Peter said.

"And I overheard you say that you had no clue as to where the missing children have gone." Katana said. "Children, not child."

"Yes, this is not the first missing child case we have had this year." The Mayor said. "The police have been looking everywhere

"We'll help you look." Aphrodite said with a smile.

"Really, you'll help." Peter said.

"You really don't have to get involved in this town problems." The mayor said.

"It is fine." Katana said. "Once my love has her mind set on something, nothing will change it."

"Ok, then I hope you have better luck then we've had." The Mayor said. "Sorry to cut this conversation short but I must be going, good night."

The Mayor turned and walked away, leaving Aphrodite, Katana, and Peter still standing around. Peter said. "Thank you for helping, please let me help you, I own a hotel and you are welcome there for free while you look for my son."

"Thank you, but that will not be necessary." Katana said. "We have our own place to stay."

"You do?" Peter asked.

"Yes, once our other friends get her, we can go." Katana said.

"Dite!" A voice called out. The girls and Peter, looked around and saw Ember and Rose, running toward them. When they got to Aphrodite they went in to hug her, but stopped when they saw her holding her big lollipop. Ember asked. "Why do you have that?"

"It's the most delicious thing ever!" Aphrodite said. "Do you want some?"

"No, I'm good." Ember said.

"Have you two heard about the missing children?" Rose asked.

"Yes, and we have agreed to help them search." Katana said.

"Yes, and all of us in the town thank you." Peter said.

"Whose the guy?" Ember asked.

"This is Peter, one of the missing kids is his son." Katana said.

"If you need anything while you are here, don't hesitate to ask." Peter said.

Aphrodite yawned and Rose said. "I think we should head back, it's getting late and we've been walking around all day."

"Right, let us go." Katana says. With that Aphrodite and Rose disappeared into a swirling portal. Before Katana and Ember could go in, Peter asked. "How did they do that?"

"It is a portal to a pocket universe." Ember said, as she held up her arm, and pulled down the sleeve of her jacket to reveal a gold bracelet. "This bracelet let's us go in and out of the portal."

"Once we go into the portal, we can exit back to the same location we entered." Katana explained. "That is, unless the one wearing the bracelet is still outside the portal, then the ones inside will exit next to the one wearing the bracelet."

"Make sense?" Ember asked.

"Not really." Peter said.

"Well, it don't really have too, I guess." Ember said as Katana stepped into the portal, Ember followed behind, and the portal closed, leaving Peter standing there not sure that what he saw was real.

Inside the portal the girls stood in a large house, Katana turned and asked Rose. "Did you guys get more food?"

"Yeah, it's already in the kitchen." Rose said. The girls went into the kitchen and had dinner before they went into the bedroom. The bedroom was big with pink walls and a large bed. Aphrodite approached the bed and her clothes began to change, her normal clothes were replaced with her pink pajamas, once dressed she got up onto the bed. Ember and Rose's clothes also changed, Embers normal clothes were replaced with a black tee shirt and white panties, Rose's dress was replaced with a yellow nighty. Katana was the only on who did not change her clothes, instead just swapped her clothe out for fresh ones. After all the girls were dressed for bed, they all climbed on the bed with Aphrodite, Ember on her right, Katana and Rose on her left. Embraced by her girls Aphrodite fell asleep with a big smile on her face.

Chapter notes:

This is the start of my first story arc, and I'm having so much fun writing it.

The idea for fountain town started with it being just a town with a big fountain in the middle, but I thought that would be too boring, so I made the town the fountain.

I decided it was time to explain the living situation for the characters, the idea for the pocket dimension was inspired by Fire Emblem Fates.

Here are some lore stuff:

Goddess gold, is gold that gods use, it is worth 100 pieces of mortal gold.

Bunny men & Bunny women are one of the many sub human species in this world. The are like normal humans except they have rabbit ears instead of human ears, buck teeth, whiskers, and small fluffy tails. They can have the same hair colors and skin colors as normal humans, but almost always have patterns on their skin.

As always, if you have any criticism please let me know. Also I would like to have some input on the relationship between the girls. Right now I have it where the other girls are in love with Aphrodite, but she doesn't act on it, but I want to know if people would prefer if they were all her official girlfriends, having her refer to them as such and maybe even having them kiss. I don't want to just do that because I don't want people to see it as some lez smut story, but if anyone actually reads and like this it would be good to have some options.

Aphrodite’s Harem Chapter 1.

The world is made up of three zones. Above is the gods zone, in it dwell the immortal gods. Gods are omnipotent beings that are said to be the creators of all mortals. Below is the devils zone, in it dwell the immortal devils. Devils are devious omnipotent beings that are said to cause all the disasters that befall mortals. And finally in the middle is the mortal zone, in it dwell the mortals.

Time moves differently in the zones, in both the gods zone and the devils zone, one day is equal to one year in the mortal zone. Because of this gods and devils tend to travel into the mortal zone, where they are immune to the effects of aging, and thus can't die of old age. A god or devil can't be killed by a mortal only another god or devil. While in the mortal zone gods and devils can start whole religions that are dedicated to them, giving them an extra amount of power.

Back in the past gods and devils went to the mortal zone in order to gain more power, but wars began to start, and many mortals were killed. After that the gods and devils agreed on a rule that neither side was allowed to just freely gone between the realms. A ritual was created and became required for any immortal to leave into the mortal zone, and doing so would cause them to lose most of their powers. Those who did go into the mortal realm were considered criminals and not allowed back, but were able to gain back their power if they learned where their powers came from. If one couldn't figure it out, then they would lose all their power and become mortal. It was this that keep most immortals to stay in their own zones, and mess with the mortals in different ways. It is debated about whether the gods gave us are individual appearances to give us uniqueness, or if it was the work of the devils wanting us to judge based on appearance. One thing that is known is that both the gods and devils play with the mortals, granting them powers, or giving them curses just out of boredom.

Even though there were risks involved, some gods and devils have traveled to the mortal zone, for one reason or another. Among them was a god by the name of Aphrodite, who about a month ago arrived in the mortal zone. This is the tale of her and the women she meets along the way, and the adventures they go on.

It was a sunny day in a small village, kids were running around laughing and playing, while the adults talked, and performed their daily activities. One young girl went running out to a field and began to search for flowers to pick. She smiled when she found a pink one, her favorite color, and picked the flower. Excited, she turned around and started to run back to show her mother, but stopped when she heard a scream. She stood staring in horror as her village was burning before her eyes, tears began to form in her eyes, as the fear took over her.

From behind her, she heard a ruff voice. "Well, what have we got here?" She turned around and was looking at a tall, rough, ugly looking man with a short sword in his hand. He smiled when he said. "Looks like you got no home to go back to, eh girly?"

The girl screamed and ran away as fast as she could. "Were you running girly?" the man said as he took off after her his sword raised. Being faster than the girl the man caught up to her in no time, and prepared to strike. The girl closed her eyes as she waited for the blade to cut her, but instead of that she heard the man yell in pain. She opened her eyes and saw the man lying on the ground, a bloody gash on his chest. Standing in front of her was a tall woman of Asian descent, her long black hair tied up in a ponytail. She wore white stripes of cloth wrapped around her chest, arms, crotch, and legs. She held a katana in her hand, the mans fresh blood still dripping off it.

The woman kneeled down to the girl's level and said in a calm voice, "You are safe now, stay by   me and I will keep you safe."

With tears in her eyes the little girl asks "My village, it's... it's on fire. My mom and dad are there." The little girl started to cry.

"Do not worry, little one, your village is being taken care off as we speak." The woman said. "My name is Katana, what is your's?"

"Wendy" the little girl said.

"Well Wendy, my companions are taking care of your village. So there is no need for you to cry now." Katana said as she wiped away Wendy's tears.

Meanwhile, in the village, the raging fire has started to calm down as a brown skinned woman with short red hair, stood in the middle of the village, her arms out in front of her. The woman's name was Ember, and she wore a white t-shirt, and black leather jacket, jeans, boots, and fingerless gloves. Her nails were painted red, and she wore red eye shadow.

The fire from the village flew into her hands and disappeared, until all the fire in the village has been put out. As Ember was removing the fire, a man approached from behind her, sword raised ready to strike. Before the man could strike, he was tangled up in vines, that sprouted from the ground. Ember turned around and aimed her right hand at the man, instantly the man and the vines were engulfed in flames. The man now charred black, fell forward to the ground, smoke rising from his body, the vines burned and turned to ash blowing in the wind.

"Really? Just had to burn my vines, hothead?" Behind the burnt man stood a pale skinned woman with long brown hair. The woman's name was Rose and she wore a yellow dress, and brown boots, on her right hand was a tattoo of a rose. "Next time I'll just let them kill you."

"I didn't need your help, shorty" Ember said.

"Don't call me short, matchstick!" Rose said, as she walked up to the other woman, her head coming up to the other woman's chest.

"How about shrimp?" Ember replied.

The two began shouting insults at each other, Ember's hair burst into flames, as a man with a sword ran up to them, sword raised, ready to strike, shouting. "Maybe instead of arguing with each other, you should pay attention!"

"Stay out of this!" The two women yelled, as the man was hit by multiple vines, and a ball of flames. The man fell to the ground as the two women went back to arguing with each other. Soon the two women were surrounded by ten guys each holding swords.

"Let's fight later, looks like we have party crashers." Rose said.

"Who ever beats the most wins?" Ember asked.

As the two women started to attack the men, a pink haired, pale skinned woman, wearing pink pajamas with red heart shapes on them, appeared out of a spiral portal, into the village. Her name was Aphrodite, who let out a yawn, as a man with his hair on fire ran behind her screaming. The man, still screaming, turned and started to run in front of her, he ran a circle around her. The man did this two more times, before Aphrodite stuck out her leg and triped him, causing him to land face first onto the ground, the fire on his head went out.

"And that makes five, looks like I win." Ember proclaimed.

"Do the math oven top, there were ten of them, if you beat five then that means I also beat five, so we're tied." Rose said.

"What'd I miss?" Aphrodite asked, looking at the two women, the bodies of unconscious men half burned, half tangled in vines, lay around them. Hearing her voice the two women stopped fighting and turned their heads to Aphrodite, took off running toward her, and both shouted "Dite!"

The two women wrapped their arms around Aphrodite, and Ember exclaimed. "Your awake!"

"Yes I am, now can tell me what's going on, Ember?" Aphrodite asked.

The two women let go of Aphrodite, and Ember, said. "This village was attacked by bandits, so we stopped to help them."

Aphrodite looked around and saw many of the buildings had been burnt. Around them the villagers had gathered and looked at them in awe, some sporting burns, others with bleeding wounds. Aphrodite turned to Rose and asked her. "Rose, can you tie these guys up, and then help the injured villagers?"

"Of course." Rose said. As Rose went to do what she was asked, Aphrodite heard a young girl's voice shout "Mommy, Daddy!"

"Wendy!" A woman shouted as a young girl came running toward her. The woman knelt down and the girl ran into her arms, a man knelt next to the woman, and the three of them hugged, and started to cry. "I was so worried, what happened, where were you?"

"I went to find you a flower mommy, then this man came after me, but then a tall lady with a sword, saved me." As the girl said this, a woman's voice called out. "My love, you are awake!"

Aphrodite looked to her left, as Katana ran up to her and hugged her. "Katana, you're crushing me!"

"I'm sorry my love." Katana said, bowing.

Rose brought over the last of the men, vines wrapped around his torso, his arms behind his back, and forced him to sit next to ten other bound men, half of them burned. Rose said. "Here they are, I'm gonna go get started on healing up the injured."

"Thank you." Aphrodite said.

Smiling Rose turned to face the villagers and said "Anyone who is in need of medical attention follow me."

Rose walked through the crowd, a group of burned and bleeding villagers following her. As Rose walked away, Wendy and her parents walked up to Katana, the father said. "Thank you for saving our daughter, if there is anything we can do for you please don't hesitate to ask."

"It is no big deal, I was happy to do it." Katana said smiling.

"Please let us do something to repay you." The father insisted.

"I'm hungry, do you have any food?" Aphrodite asked.

"Yes, the food storage luckily was spared from the fire, as thanks for saving the village and my daughter, we will throw you all a feast." Wendy's father said.

"Yay, feast!" Aphrodite yelled. A cough from one of the bandits caused Dite to look back at them.

"What are you looking at bitch!" One of them asked Aphrodite. The bandit quickly went quiet when a sword was pointed at his throat, Katana calmly said. "Shall I execute them for you, my love."

"No, it's ok" Aphrodite said, Katana removed her sword from the bandit's throat. "But what should I do with them?"

"I got an idea." The bandit said. "Let us go and we'll give you girls the time of your lives."

"Yeah, no." Aphrodite said cocking her head smiling.

"How about you red?" The Bandit asked Ember. "Wanna come back with us, I promise it will be fun."

"Ew, no way creep." Ember said. All of a sudden Aphrodite's happy attitude was replaced with rage as she stared at the tied up bandits. Instantly they all turned into frogs, and began hopping away in different directions. Aphrodite turned to Wendy's father, smiling and asked. "When's the feast?"

Later that night, the entire village was gathered outside around a fire, the villagers ate, laughed, danced, and drank. Aphrodite sat on the ground with plates full of food, stuffing her face as Katana, Ember, and Rose sat by her and ate their own smaller portions. Wendy and her parents sat across from them, Wendy's father asked them, "So, what brought you to our village in the first place?"

"We were just passing by" Katana said. "We are looking for something."

"What?" Wendy's mother asked.

"We don't know." Rose replied.

"You don't know?" Wendy's father asked.

"I don't remember." Aphrodite said.

"You don't remember?" Wendy's mother asked.

"Nope, when I came to the mortal zone I forgot what it was." Aphrodite said.

"Mortal zone, who are you?" Wendy's father asked.

"My names Aphrodite, and I'm a god." Aphrodite said with a smile on her face.

"A god!" Wendy's parents exclaimed.

In the morning it was time for the girls to leave the village, they said their goodbyes to Wendy and her parents and went to look for whatever it is Aphrodite is looking for, what adventures await them only time and this story will tell.
