Chapter 3

At the hotel that night, Jorani and I slept together. She was no longer afraid of me and cuddled up against me as soon as we got in bed naked following a good shower together and taking care of our teeth.

“You are a great Phi mot (Wizard) and a powerful Mung kron (Dragon) Craig,” she told me as we kissed, hugged and rubbed against each other. I spent time massaging her breasts. She has great breasts, not huge but just right for her small body. This led to more contact and eventually wound up with us having sex. Jorani turned out to be a great sex partner and was better than any of the girls that I had dated in college. After slipping my long, hard, thick cock into her, there were slow, passionate strokes that lasted for an extended period of time before our needs overcame our desire to be together. Jorani had several small orgasms during that time. We both had huge climaxes at the end, and it took us a while to recover.

“You are indeed a Great Dragon,” Jorani told me when she could speak again.

There was some ordinary Magic in our room before we finished, but it wasn’t nearly as thick or as intense as it had been at the hotel in Tampa the night that my Sisters got pregnant. They thought I didn’t know about all of the Magic that had gathered that night, but I had sensed it even though none of it was in my room. You would have had to have NO Talent at all to not sense all of it.

Jorani sensed and saw the Magic when we had recovered.

“Where did that come from?” she asked in a quiet voice.

“We caused it. Magic always accumulates when two Dragons have sex. If you had been ready to get pregnant, there would have been a lot more Magic, and it would have been circling around us and all through the room. When my Mother got pregnant, the Magic was so thick that they couldn’t move from the bed to shower until much of it returned to the Lines. It was Ley Line Magic. This is only ordinary Magic, as there are no Ley Lines near Korat. There were two Lines, one near the Thai border and the other near Samraony when I rescued you,” I told her. We slept very well that night following another shower but were a bit late getting up in the morning.

Later, we were at breakfast in the hotel when Suchin and Saroj joined us. Both men seemed surprised to see us.

“You were out late last night,” Suchin said when they had joined us and ordered.

“The movie was a double feature. It didn’t get out until late,” I told him, but that was all.

“What are we doing today? Will you be returning to Bangkok now that you have what you were looking for?” Suchin asked while we ate.

“I haven’t made up my mind about today yet. I still have something to do here in Korat,” I told them.

“Will it take long?” Saroj asked.

“No, not all that long. It would be good if you brought the car here so we can leave as soon as I finish,” I told him. He went to get the car while we finished our breakfast. I paid the hotel bill then, and we gathered our things from the room and brought them down to the hotel’s lobby.

Suchin and Saroj were standing in front of the car in the hotel’s compound when we reached the lobby. On exiting the building, Jorani and I set our luggage down, and I frowned at the two men.

“Both of you may return to the people that you actually work for and tell them not to bother Dragons. It isn’t healthy,” I finished. Both men appeared to be surprised by what I had said.

“What are you saying?” Suchin demanded.

“Both the American government and the Chinese government want to stick their noses and probably other parts into my business. What I do is none of their concern. It’s Dragon’s business, and the only ones concerned are my Mother, the Dragon Queen, and the Queens in the Jewel. It’s not even the business of other male Dragons, and it certainly had not been the business of the spy from the Guoanbu that I eliminated last night,” I told them with a smile.

On hearing this, Saroj whipped out a small pistol and fired at both Jorani and me. Pop, pop ... pop, pop. I had already cast a ward around us before we left our room for just such an eventually. He was shocked when neither of us were affected by the bullets that he fired. Instantly transforming into my Dragon at the twenty-foot-tall level, I hit him in the chest with a blast of Dragon Magic from the middle claw of my right hand.

The blast literally picked him up off the ground and over the car to fling him across the parking area in front of the hotel and into the power transformers where the electricity came into the building from the road in front of it. There were three transformers that sat on a platform between two poles above the wall surrounding the hotel’s compound. Saroj shorted out two of the transformers and was fried by the high voltage. This also set off the remaining cartridges in his pistol which blew up. When I looked back down at Suchin, he was staring at me in shock and at the four bullets now on the ground.

“What I do isn’t any of the CIA’s business either. Take the car and return to those in Bangkok who you work for and deliver my message,” I told him in my Dragon voice.

Of course, the gun shots and the explosive shorting out of the transformers had been noticed and a crowd of the curious had gathered to see what was happening. Others had emerged from the hotel. They all stared at me in shock. I, or rather we, didn’t need the notoriety, and I roared a Dragon roar to frighten them away. They all ran off screaming, and I returned to my Human form.

“Don’t send anyone else to look for us,” I warned Suchin before taking Jorani’s hand, and we and our luggage vanished with a flash of Magic, leaving him standing by the car with a shocked expression on his face.

We instantly appeared on the balcony at the theater where we had watched the movies last night. It was the best place that I could think of. On arriving back in Korat yesterday, I had failed to consider the need for a backup location to disappear to in case of trouble. Of course, there hadn’t been any trouble until late last night.

Still, the theater’s balcony was a good choice. The theater didn’t open until the afternoon. It wasn’t even mid-morning yet, so no one was here. The employees wouldn’t arrive to begin cleaning up for some time yet. This gave us time to decide what we were going to do.

“Why are we here?” Jorani asked as her eyes adjusted to the dark.

“We need to decide where to go,” I told her.

“You don’t know where to go?” she asked in surprise.

“I have an idea but wanted to talk to you about it,” I told her.

“Where is this place?” she asked.

“I’m not sure. I haven’t had a chance to look at the map yet and wasn’t sure how to spell its name,” I told her.

“What is its name?” she asked.

“In the dream last night, I saw a very impressive temple and a voice told me that it was Pee My,” I told her. She smiled.

“Yes, Phi Mai. It was a very famous Wat. It was built a long time ago,” she told me.

“Do you know where it is?” I asked.

“It is near Korat. Get out your map, and we can find it,” she told me.

“I will need to cast a light spell first,” I told her, as the existing light was very dim. After casting the spell, I dug the map out of my luggage. On opening it, we soon located Phi Mai to the northeast of Korat. It didn’t appear to be that far away.

“We should go there. It is a very famous Wat, and we will be able to learn where to go from there. A few prayers to the Buddha should find where to go,” she told me very enthusiastically. “We can get a car to take us there. There will be many to take tourists there,” she added.

“Renting a car is not a good idea,” I told her to a disappointed look. “I’m sure that the CIA will pay little attention to what Suchin reports to them. They will send people to trace where we went, and what we are doing. They are sure to question those who drive the tourists. No, we need a more anonymous way to travel. Something where we won’t be noticed,” I told her.

“Is too far to take a tuk tuk,” she said right away.

“How about the bus?” I asked.

“They would notice a Fa rung (foreigner) on the bus,” she told me.

“Would they notice an Indian man and a Khmer girl on the bus going to Phi Mai?” I asked.

“Indian man?”

“Yes, I noticed this Indian man while in Bangkok,” I told her and cast a glamour of the man around me. Jorani was shocked on seeing it.

“No, they would not notice a pair like that, but what about all of the luggage that we have? They would surely notice that. They wouldn’t be traveling with all of that to visit Phi Mai,” she told me. I called the two backpacks to me that I had inspected yesterday while shopping with her. They were simple cheap backpacks. This also shocked her.

“We will only take a few clothes and other things with us. I have noticed that backpacks seem to be a common accessory of many Thais. We will not look out of place with them,” I told her.

“What about our other things?” she asked.

“We will keep them in a safe place,” I told her.

“Safe place? Where?”

“In the Timeless Zone. That way, they will always be available but out of sight,” I told her. Jorani considered this for a short time.

“Yes, that could work,” she finally said. “When should we leave?” she asked next.

“There is one other detail to take care of before we leave,” I told her and called the three men from last night to me from the Timeless Zone. They appeared several feet from us, shocking her again.

“What are you going to do?” she asked hesitantly on recovering.

“I am going to change their freeze spell to a timed one and leave them here behind the curtain on the wall. They will wake up in a few hours. We will be long gone, and they will be confused. It won’t matter to us what they say then,” I told her before changing the freeze spell on them.

Once outside the theater a few minutes later, Jorani hailed a tuk tuk, and he took us to bus station number 2. At the station, Jorani got us two tickets on the bus to Phi Mai and Chumphuang. She was upset that the tickets were 50 Baht each (about $1.54 each). I had stopped at a bank yesterday and exchanged Dollars for Baht, so had plenty of Baht. We only had a short wait before the next scheduled bus left, as they leave every half-hour during the day.

The trip to Phi Mai took an hour for the bus to travel the 60 km (36 miles), as it made many stops along the way to drop off or pick up passengers. We arrived there just before noon, and left the bus at the clock tower in the center of town.

“We should eat first,” Jorani told me as we looked around.

“I need to change appearances first,” I told her, as I looked around for a convenient place to drop the glamour of the man that I had been impersonating.

“Over there,” Jorani said pointing to where an old abandoned looking wood building stood with open doors. We moved over to it, and she stood guard while I entered far enough to be out of sight and dropped the glamour. I quickly exited the building, and we went to a nearby open-air restaurant for a meal.

Following a filling meal of chicken fried rice and a soda, Jorani hailed a tuk tuk and told him that we wanted a very private room in a good guest house or a hotel. The driver smiled and took us to a small guest house near the river. The river Mun surrounds part of the town on its north and east sides with the river Chakarat flowing into it from the south. There is also a canal on the west side of the town connecting the two together.

Once we had secured a room, we left most of our things there, and I called the remainder of our luggage to me from the Timeless Zone. After casting my wards around the room, we left to visit the Phi Mai Historical Park where the ancient temple is located.

Earlier, as our bus had approached the modern town of Phi Mai, I had become aware of why the Cambodians had built a temple here. Even from a mile away, I could sense the strong Ley Lines that crossed the area. This had been a Dragon gathering place in the past I realized and wondered what had attracted them to the area,

Now as we approached the Park, I could feel the individual Ley Lines in the area. The driver of our tuk tuk dropped us off at the south or old town gate in the outer or third curtain wall which surrounds the area of the old city which is an area 565 meters by 1033 meters (1863 x 3388 feet). Jorani had been shocked to learn that the admission charge for foreigners was 100 Baht or just over $3.00. For Thai citizens or those with a Thai ID card the charge was only 20 Baht or about $0.60. We had picked up several brochures about Phi Mai and the Historical Park at our guest house.
