Dorian and Callie had spent the last two weeks at the Mystic's lair, waiting. While they were successful in placing a tracking device onto one of the ships of the gang that stole the artifact, they now had to be patient until the ship went out on it's own. They certainty couldn't take on the entire gang, but they were sure that they could take down at least one of them.
While The Mystic has spent the time training Dorian, Callie had mostly remained onboard the Chimera, monitoring where the tracking device was traveling, and sleeping in the captain's quarters at night.
In only two weeks her pregnancy had progressed quite a bit. The mystic, on the other hand, had given birth after only one week of being pregnant. Dorian noted that she had been much quicker than Esi, which proved to him that pregnancies caused by him had widely varying lengths.
Their child had been a boy, and it didn't take long until he had put another of his kids in her belly. The mystic was already a natural at being a mother, nursing their baby while simultaneously helping Dorian practice.
His power had grown quite a bit, allowing him to create and launch small flames without passing out, or even becoming lightheaded. The progress was slow however, and it didn't help his patience that the Mystic talked non stop about his potential. A few weeks ago he never would have believed that these powers were possible, but now he was becoming more and more worried that he wouldn't be able to do more than cast simple flames.
He had been overwhelmed during their first encounter when he had learned of his capabilities, but he was now curious about the other powers that were possible. Unfortunately, the Mystic had explained that she had no knowledge of the other powers, only the fact that others exist.
He had also been curious about The Mystic, which was only natural considering that he had gotten her pregnant twice. She had explained that she was an orphan, and thus was never given a name by her parents. Instead, she had been discovered as a baby by the villagers. Having never seen a member of her species, they found her glowing eyes and horns to be very strange and otherworldly, so their priests took to calling her The Mystic. She also went further in depth about how she gained her extremely limited power, explaining that she had traveled the galaxy for decades, following an instinct to search out the power. Her species were able to live for hundreds of years, and Dorian knew that he was only scratching the surface of her stories. It wasn't until twenty years ago that his father had visited her, explaining that the instinct that she felt was actually him subtly guiding her, manipulating her to gain the knowledge she would need for his future son, Dorian. She seemed to take the fact that her life was only a small part of his plan fairly well, as she agreed to take the artifact and protect it until the time was right.
Dorian also learned more about the cult that occupied the village, as she explained that after her meeting with his father she returned to her birthplace and destroyed the priesthood that she had been raised by, allowing the cult to rise up and occupy the village's temple. She then tricked them into thinking that she was more powerful than she actually was, and they worshiped her, vowing to protect the artifact with their lives. She never told Dorian how she destroyed the priesthood, but she became uncomfortable whenever he asked more about the subject so he decided to let it go and stop asking.
He was fascinated by her stories, especially the parts about his Father. He was surprised to learn that the first time she met him coincided with Dorian's birth.
The last two weeks weren't just nice storytelling time unfortunately. With two girls both carrying his seed, he had to balance time with both.
Taking Callie virginity was amazing, but he felt guilty about how it happened. That guilt also increased at the thought of the married village girl he had forced himself on. It was tempting to go find her and apologize, but he decided against it due to the fact that she was married and he didn't want to interfere with their lives.
Callie had grown much closer to him after being impregnated, but she understood that he was already married. They wouldn't be able to take things any further, but despite that, she was more committed to him than ever.
Due to what happened last time she needed to inform Dorian of something, and the fact that her pregnancy prevented her from running up the entire mountain again, they had briefly left the planet to purchase communicator that they now wore on their wrists. In addition, he had installed a restraint device into one of the empty rooms of the ship, which allowed them to take prisoners.
Dorian and The Mystic were laying together on the couch in her lair, holding their child while she kept her hand on her pregnant stomach, when his communicator began beeping.
He pressed a button and Callie's voice came through the speaker. "Captain, you need to return to the ship! It's time, the tracker says that the fighter is going out alone."
"Finally, I'll be there soon. Prepare the ship." He said before hanging up and turning to The Mystic.
She looked down at their child. "I guess this is it, I've taught you all I know. It's time for you to continue your training on your own. I don't know what's in store for you, but I wish you luck on your travels."
"Thank you, I'll get the artifact back." He took a look at their son and kissed him on the forehead. "I'm sure we'll see each other again, but until then I'll miss you."
He turned away and began walking, but just as he opened the door to the cave entrance he heard the voice of The Mystic. "Dorian wait!" He turned around just in time for The Mystic to reach him and pull him into a kiss, sliding her long tongue into his mouth. When they separated she leaned in close to his ear and began whispering in a seductive tone. "When you go back to your wife, I know you'll think about how much better my pussy is than hers. After all, you've already knocked me up twice."
Dorian's face went red, and blood rushed to his cock. Before he could say anything however, The Mystic laughed and guided him out the door, saying goodbye to the man that was both her lover and apprentice.

He had tried his best to hurry back to the ship, but it still took him quite a while to go all the way from the cave lair to the field where The Chimera was 'docked'. He wondered if the farmer who owned the field would be happy that they were finally leaving, especially since Dorian had said that'd only need to use it for a couple of hours, which turned out to be completely wrong.
He ran up the boarding ramp and entered, sealing the airlock behind him. Callie was already waiting, ready for takeoff.
Dorian sat in the pilot's chair, which Callie had started calling "The Captain's Chair". He saw that the navigation coordinates were already entered into the ship's computer.
"So, where are we heading?" He asked while preparing the engines.
Callie was sitting in her navigation chair, focusing on her pregnant belly. "The fighter is in a sector of space that is known for having abandoned space stations."
"Abandoned space stations? Why would they bother with them? They aren't scavengers."
Callie had clearly already thought about it. "Well, since they probably have a large amount of money now if they sold the artifact, so maybe they're scouting for a new base? Maybe one that they can fix up or something. Or maybe the person flying the fighter has their own motives, instead of doing it for the whole gang. Either way, they're making a clear pattern of stops, and I know which stations they're visiting."
"Hmm, in that case we might be able to set a trap. Let me think about it." He replied.

The trip through space was fairly short, but both of them were glad to be onboard a ship in space again. They had been on the ground too long, and it felt good to fly again.
They reached their destination, and it gave Dorian enough time to think of a plan. "They May be on their own, but they're still flying a fighter. The Chimera isn't nearly nimble enough to compete with something like that, and our weapons are pretty outdated. I say we hide inside one of the space stations and ambush them on foot when they come to investigate. You said you knew which station they're most likely to inspect next, right?"
Callie nodded. "Whoever is flying that fighter is making a clear path of stations they are visiting. I can predict which one will be next based on which one they are currently at."
"Good, lead us to it." He commanded.
Callie indicated which station to head to and they began moving towards it, careful not to alert the small fighter of their presence in the sector. The Chimera drifted through space towards the huge hulking structure that was once used by hundreds of people on a regular basis, but now silently hung in space, empty.
They drifted to the main hanger, as that was the place that the fighter was likely to land. Dorian sat The Chimera down near some massive cargo containers before shutting everything down. They wanted the ship to fit in and not be suspicious, which was helped by the fact that The Chimera wasn't exactly like in the best shape. Being in Yarrin's jungle for two hundred years had taken its toll on the beat up ship, which fit their current plan perfectly.
Upon exiting the ship and walking out into the open hanger, he immediately began looking for anywhere to set an ambush. He didn't want to put Callie in danger, especially since she was pregnant with his child, but she insisted on helping him, claiming that she would feel guilty if something happened to him. He eventually relented, and agreed that she could help during the fight, but only if she stayed far away and used a blaster. She agreed.
They found places to hide and got into position, Dorian behind some rusty crates on the opposite side of the hanger from the ship, and Callie crouched on a bridge that overlooked the hanger and was used to perform maintenance on smaller ships that would be hanging from the ceiling of the hanger back before the station was abandoned. Dorian carried the energy sword that Esi had given him, and Callie held a long blaster rifle. It was set to stun, since the whole point was to interrogate the pilot. Unfortunately, her weapon would be much less accurate while on stun mode, since it was mostly meant to be used in close quarters.
They didn't have to wait long, as the fighter that they had been tracking soon reached the station. It landed in the middle of the hanger, it's engines sending small pieces of scrap flying in different directions.
