My worries subsided from what would happen after the ritual and I decided to just enjoy myself with my family and what time we had. After so much time the Mistresses were allowed to roam about on the surface but had to check back underground within a time period. Mistress Ariana was able to talk to the head Mistress and she happy let Ariana take me onto the surface with her.

The first time I went up I had a lot of mixed emotions. I was sad, it was like looking back at my old life and it brought anger as well. My family had cleared away all of the bodies from the invasion which felt years have past from. I was surprised at the intact of most buildings and structures I would have thought surely that more damage would have been done but my family was very prepared for this and did a very good job on killing the humans without damaging important structures.

I was happy though, I was able to show Mistress Ariana were I had lived, some of my treasured belongings and show her how I use to live my life. We visited my old home, and the neighborhood it was in, However she wanted me to show her everything and sadly this included the school I went to as well. Just seeing that school made me upset, a rush of bad memories.

I told her how the school system worked and how the kids that went there with me could be so cruel to me and others who didn't really fit in with a popular group. A few times I needed to be comforted by Mistress Ariana for the memories were painful to me. She had promised me then that I would never have to go through such pain again. I remembered her exact words that would stay with me for the rest of my life as the words of true caring and love that No one else had ever shown me in my old life.

"Snake" She said holding me while we stood near my school. "The pains you have lived through truly ill me and I swear it to you and even to the Head Mistress that no matter what events shall take place I will not let you suffer like that."

I trusted her words as I always have and after so many more months the time had finally arrived when the Ritual would be performed. Everyone had to be present for it as it was a new beginning for them as well as human kind. It was also my biggest fear now.

I stood in a large dark cavern warmly lit with the glowing auras of magicks I have never seen before. Runic symbols shined brightly on the damp cavern floor combining in the circles around the center of this sacred area. I stood with dark humanoid creatures in the hundreds watching a selected few perform a powerful ritual. Large crystals floated about this place unaffected by gravity or the darkness as there blue light shined through dimly. I had anxiety beating through my heart and tears running down my cheeks as this event would forever change the course of our lives. I looked around at these creatures that stood almost twice my height; I was the only human among them, the only human who survived them. My thoughts drifted into the past as I wondered to myself of the incredible changes that molded who I had become. I can still remember those days that long passed, before they changed everything that was a lifetime ago.

I was startled by the sound of the bus driver yelling out my name while the people around me stared impatiently. I realized I was at my stop as I shook my head a bit to wake myself from the dream world I was torn from, getting up out of my seat and down the ramp. Before making it out there was one last attempt to destroy my pride with a kid sticking his foot out in the walkway to trip me. I did stumble but long grew use to this attempt and kept my holding on my feet only making a retreat out of that infernal bus and back into freedom.

I stepped out onto my street staring down blankly at the road for a moment before it all hit my like a brick wall. What am I doing back here? I've already lived this, the Ritual then it must have worked... I had a sinking feeling in my stomach as I started a conflict of ideas telling me it was only a dream. No it could not have been a dream, the love I felt, it was too real. I quickly remembered that during my stay with Ariana she had taught me a little of the magicks that they were born with. One of the abilities I learned rather quickly was summoning my staff to my hand.

I decided to start running down the street towards Dragon Hill and as I ran I began to concentrate. I had to imagine the staff being in my hand, I had to feel my staff being with me and most of all I had to believe it was with me. Any doubt would cancel the ability. A white pole of energy took shape of my staff in my hand and suddenly flashed as it materialized into my staff. I was incredibly excited this was proof that it was no dream. Mistress Ariana was sill down there and she would not just abandon me up here in this tormented land. I ran quicker with more encouragement and I noticed my strength, speed and over all stamina was greatly improved since the last time I was running for my life here, however this time I wasn't running away from anything, I was running towards my life.

I got to the hill and quickly stumbled my way up it looking around in hope and excitement but I saw nothing. No secret underground entrance, no Mistress Ariana and all that meant was no hope left. I would never go back to my old life, I would sooner take my life then live without my true family. I walked down the side of the hill were the entrance had been but there was nothing and a feel to my knee's with tears in my eyes.

"Mistress, you said you wouldn't leave me here. Please don't leave me up here, I don't belong here."

"That's right you don't sniveling worm." a kid said standing behind me with his friend. They were two bullies I had always been pushed by since I started going to school. I turned around standing up.

"Leave me alone, I've had enough of you two always pushing me to the edge and right now is not the time for it." I sniffled whipping tears from my eyes.

"What are you gonna do if we don't huh? Gonna cry like a little baby haha. Cry cry cry."

I was already at my threshold and I would not take anymore. I Growled under my breath which caught them off guard, I had never done anything offensively to anyone but it was all about to change now. With an upward flick of my staff I bashed the kid talking to me in the noise with the tip of my staff staggering him backwards. Then a swung it around my back jabbing it out while it was behind me into the other kids stomach before he could fight back. Finally I twirled the staff above my head and with a powerful blow knocked one of the kids on the ass smashing the blunt staff across there head and I did the same only a second later in a downward attack against the other.

"I told you leave me the hell alone stupid punks! You have no idea what I've been through and no idea what suffering really is so I suggest you get off your asses and get the hell out of here before I show you what torture can feel like on your frail breakable bodies!" They got up backing off acting like they were bored but were doing a bad job of it. They eventually turned and went into a run as the scurried off.

I felt like a large amount of stress and weight had just disappeared off my shoulders. Standing up for myself for once and taking out my frustration on them felt very relieving, but no matter how much I tried it would never be enough for me to continue my life without my family.

"Mistress Ariana..." I whimpered staring at the ground lost.

I heard a quiet shuffle of rocks behind me which alarmed me but before I could do anything else something suddenly grabbed around my chest and covered my mouth so I couldn't make any noise, pulling me violently back. I struggled holding onto my staff ready to use it in case those stupid kids brought some one else to try and beat me up but as I looked around I was pulled back into a lift it looked like. An elevator inside the hill. The entrance I had been pulled into closed quickly and I couldn't see anything but I was able to feel the elevator moving downward quickly.

I stopped struggling and the tall figure let me go. I took a breath stumbling over to the other side of the elevator as it continued downward.

"M-mistress Ariana?" I asked with hope.

"No it is not Snake." A female replied.

I knew that voice, it had to be the one other Mistress I had meet that was in the same rank as Ariana before Sisay was thrown out. The elevator stopped and a door behind the figure opened bringing light into the lift. It was the Mistress I was thinking of and I was so happy I nearly wet myself leaping over to her with a hug. She smiled and hugged back

"Welcome home Snake. Your Mistress will be here soon for you, she sends her apologies that she could not have rescued you herself but she was needed in the capture of Sisay since she was reset to her chambers when the ritual was over. I am sure Ariana is giving a little pay back for the scar Sisay gave her."

I nodded and smiled as she lead me out of the lift and back into the familiar passages I had grown to love and call home. Filled with many members of my family there were many happy to see me back and I was overjoyed to see all of them too. My eye lit up as I saw Mistress Ariana walking with the Head Mistress down the hall towards me. I couldn't resist but to run towards her screaming her name in excitement. I pounced into her arms and she picked me up in a cradling hug just how she always use to do.

"Mistress I'm so glad, I was so scared that you had..." I had tears in my eyes.

"shh, it is ok Snake. I told you I would never let you suffer. The days of invasion and ritual are over and now we can finally start our efforts to slowly clean up the mess on the surface without the humans knowing we exist. Of course that also means you will never be able to go back up there, you are stuck down here with us now." She spoke partially sarcastic and smiled.

I giggled and hugged around her neck "I wouldn't have it any other way."

From that day forth I spent the rest of my life with my real family. I stayed with my Mistress Ariana and some nights I would have nightmares of the past but I was always in bed with her so she would be right there to calm me and show that I was safe underground with them.

I began meeting with the head Mistress regularly after that. Mistress Ariana said it was a great honor to be a regular visitor to the head Mistress. The head Mistress said it was a great honor to have me with them. I figured between the two being alive here was a great honor in itself.

And finally I began making it a daily habit to visit around the sector with the others there, learning about more of my family, meeting wonderful knew people and most of all I got to meet with the other Mistress who I had fallen for. It took some time to accept but the both of us had strong feelings for each other and to my luck there sexual reproduction was the same as humans. Eventually we even shared the pleasure of sex.

I felt that I was given a second chance at life. No longer depressed and hurt I had everything I ever wanted now. A caring Family, a warm home, structure and support around me and love as well. I know in reality there is no such thing as perfect because everyone's views on what perfect is are different, however my life as it is now, is my personal definition of perfect.
