This is the story that I wrote. Not lovelydragoness. Me. In fact this is what gave Lovely his inspiration to write his stories. Now I kinda regret letting him read it. But being best friends and all I usually trust him. Yes it's long, no I don't care if you hate it, and yes this is how I used to write my stories before SoFurry.

???: Averin... Averin... Averin, wake up! Averin awoke to a woman shaking him like a ragdoll. Averin: Mom! I'm awake. Mom: Come on, we have to get to the shrine right now! Averin: Wait... Where are Tumba and Kreia? A Moment of silence fell between them. Mom: I'm.. I'm sorry Averin...But He has been angered by an outsider. I will go in your place though. I didn't want to see my own son.... Avern: No, I'll do it. If He called to me, then I must go. Mom: ...Fine. Soon Averin and his mom were running through the streets which used to be crouded with people of the colony but are now deserted. As they came up to the shrine people were crouded around the entrance waiting for the next person to enter. As Averin stepped up to the doorway his mom was grabbed from him. He ignored the screams of his mother as she was forced from him but he could not help the tears that welled up in his eyes. As tears ran down his cheeks he walked forward a few feet then stopped. He felt a sharp pain in his chest then everything went dark. Averin soon awoke to a deep darkness, he heard talking. He reached his arm out but his arm would not move. He opened his eyes and saw about twenty men in a room with about a hundred or so beds filled with people wrapped in bandages. From what he saw he figured that he was in a medical base. Man1: Look! He is breathing! Man2: He's got a pulse. Man1: What about his power levels? Man2: {gasp}They are rising! Man3: We did it men! We saved him! All hale the new king!! A group of about twenty men cheered loudly. A doctor walked to his side and spoke. Man1: Ah! You're awake. Do you feel any pain at all? Averin tryed to speak but nothing came out. Man2: Hold on... The man got out a large ring with crystals all around it, each with different shape and size. Man2: Try this. Man1: Good idea. The man took the ring and pulled out a thin metal chain. He connected the chain to the ring and spun the ring over Averin's head. Without will he took in a deep breath and sat up. Man1: There we go. Now do you feel any pain? Averin: No... I don't feel any pain at all. averin felt his chest and instead of an arrow sticking out of his chest there was a big bloody scar. Averin: Wh-where is the arrow? Man1: We took it out. It pierced the heart, so we had to give you a new one. Averin: Who would give up their own life to save mine? Man1: Well anyone would have given their life up for you, but it wasn't a someone. It was a something. Man2: He gave up his life to save yours because he said his time was finished. Averin: Who is this man? Man1: Hahahahaha! He's not a man, he's... Man2: I think its better that he sees for himself. Man1: You're right. Young sir, what is your name? Averin: Averin... Man1: Ok. Well, Averin, try getting up. Aerin nodded and slid his feet over the side of the bed and got up. Man1: Good, now follow me. Averin followed the man to a big statue in the middle of the castle courtyard. Man: This is the dragon that gave his life for you. Averin: Him?! Man: Yes and now you have a dragon's heart beating in your chest. It isnt beating very hard but it will once you start changing. Averin: Changing? Man: Yes. Averin: Hmm.. Oh! I never got your name. Man: Oh I apollagize. My name Himriggens Vorumtono Kricceste. Or Vorum for short. Averin: Oh. Well nice to meet you Vorum. could you explain to me what you mean by 'changing'. Vorum: In good time milord. Averin: Oh. Well then I hope that... that... Averin started to breath deeper and then started coughing up blood. After a few minutes he stoped coughing and he could breath better and easier than before. Averin: Is this... Averin noticed that his voice was deeper than before. Averin: What hapened to my voice?! Vorum: You are already starting to change. Averin: Change?! Change into what?! Vorum: A dragon. You are changing into what is called a half-dragon actually. Averin: A... A half-dragon? Vorum: Yes. You see, the dragons heart in your chest gives you magic abilities. Both wanted and unwanted. Averin: Unwanted being.. Vorum: Yes, changing into a dragon. Well half-dragon actually. Averin: So how often do the changes occur? Vorum: the next one will be in about five minutes and it will be the most painful of all. Averin: Then what is changing next? Vorum: Your bones, muscles, skin, and you will also grow a tail. Averin: Then lets prepare for it. Vorum: Yes sir. vorum lead Averin into a small room that was completely empty except for four guards. Vorum: This should be the safest room to change in. After a few minutes Averin let out a large scream and fell over, to then be caught by the guards. He felt his entire chest eexpand and the bones in his arms and legs pop into new places as if be ing slingshot back into place. His jaw stretched out into a snout and his tail started to extend from the base of his spine. a second set of shoulder blades formed on top the first ones and the wings jutted out of his back, ripping his skin. after his wings finished forming scales began to cut through his skin and stretch across the new bare bones that he recently grew. Averin, enduring the pain spoke to Vorum. Averin: Is that {pant} it. {pant} I mean for {pant} the painful part. Vorum: Yes. Now you rest for the next hour so your muscles can grow. Averin: Good. Averin looked at Vorum one last time then passed out. Averin woke an hour later in the same bed. Averin: Vorum! Vorum: Ah! You're awake. What can I do for you? Averin: I have a sister and a brother. Their names are Kreia and Tumba. Tumba is my brother, Kreia is my sister. When Vorum heard this his jaw dropped (and when I mean it dropped I mean it dropped to the floor) Vorum: Y-y-you know Tumba and Kreia?!?! Averin: Yeah. I just told you they are my brother and sister. Vorum: They have been the best warriors that this kingdom has had in the past four hundred years! Averin: What?! Tumba and Kreia? Warriors? How are they warriors? If anything they would have probably killed each other. Vorum: Well they have been here two years and not once have they had even a small argument. Averin: Well then where are they? Vorum went silent and looked down. Averin: Vorum! What happened to my brother and sister?! Tell me now or I'll... I'll... Wait why am I getting so angry all of a sudden? Vorum: ...six days ago... six days ago was the last time anyone in all three kingdoms had seen either of them. They were headed out to go to war with the Shadow Craller kingdom, and they never even made it to the battlefield. They just...vanished. Along with about three thousand soldiers. Averin: ...I am the king of this kingdom, right? Vorum nodded Averin: Then what is its name? vorum: The Blue Gear kingdom. Averin: Good. Now first order of business, find Tumba and Kreia. Vorum: I am sorry but you can not give any commands until you finish changing and get married. Averin: Um... Well, that was unexpected. Vorum: Come with me. You must choose your weapons and armor for future engagements and so that you will have something to make yourself decent. Averin: Uhh... By 'decent' do you mean clothed? Vorum: Why of course! You wouldn't look like a king at all wearing ripped clothes. Averin: You've got a point there. Vorum lead Averin into a large chamber filled with weapons and armor of all sizes. Averin: This is the armory, right? Vorum: Yes it is. But this one is just for the king and queen to use. Averin: Well I'm not to happy knowing that the only thing that I will be wearing is armor. Vorum: Then I will get you some clothing to put on under the armor. Vorum walked up to one of the maids standing outside of the room and said something in her ear. Then the maid left and came back a few minutes later with a cloak and trousers and handed it to Vorum.Averin was deciding which weapon he was going to take when Vorum came up to him holding out a large cloak that looked like robes to Averin. Averin: A robe? How would that help? Vorum: It is not a robe it is a cloak. Now put it on so we can fit it to your size. Averin took the large cloak and tryed to put it on but he had to fold in his wings. Vorum:This cloak is for you to use to get around without drawing attention to yourself. It is large enough to hide three men in it but with you wearing it it can hide you and your gear. Averin: Wow. Wait... how big am I? Vorum: You are about the size of a man and a half. Averin: Hmph. Well, then i will take a scythe. Vorum: Huh.You favor being a pole arm. Well what else will you take? Averin: Hmm... I'll take a bow and... Are there any armlet blades? Vorum: I'm not sure what that is. What does it do? Averin: Its a leather armlet that goes from the wrist to the elbow of the arm and it has a five inch wide blade that runs along it. Vorum: Well... We don't have anything like that, but te blacksmith might be able to make one. Averin: Good. Because it can come in handy when you lose your weapon. What about a twin blade set? Vorum: We have something like that. Vorum Went out of the room again and called over a guard this time. He said something and the guard left. Vorum walked back in the room and opened a door to another room. Vorum: While we wait lets get you in some armor shall we. Averin nodded and walked through the door. Averin: What about the armor in the other room? Vorum: Thats for king and queen, yes. But they are to small for you, instead you will be fitted for new armor. Averin: My throat is getting dry. Can i get some water? Vorum: After. Averin: After what? Averin started to cough and he felt his chest start to heat up. His chest continued to heat up and as he coughed smoke came out. He soon stopped coughing but smoke was still coming out as he breathed. Vorum: Come on now, you will be ok in a few more minutes. Vorum called over a man with a blackened face and overalls on. The man lifted his goggles And looks at Averin. Man: Who the hell are you? Vorum: This is Averin, the new king. Averin, this is the blacksmith. Blacksmith:Oh. Sorry milord, I did not know. Please forgive me. Averin: You can stop sucking up to me because I'm not king yet. Vorum: Yes, we are just here to get him fitted for some armor. Blacksmith: Oh. Well why didn't you just say so? I just finished a set of armor for a dragon but he can use it instead. The blacksmith turned around and unlocked a box. He pulled out a set of armor that was to big for any man and set them on a table. Blacksmith: This is what I got. The helmet, leggings, chest plate, and wing blades. Vorum: Very well then, how much are they worth? Blacksmith: Well this is for the king so, no payment just take it. Averin: Wow. Thank you. Averin took the cloak off and changed into the trousers. The blacksmith put the armor on Averin and then returned to what he was doing. Vorum: Now to solve the smoking problem take a deep breath and let it all out. Averin did what he said and inhaled as much as he could and exhaled a stream of fire. Averin: Umm... Did I just? Vorum: Yes. Now back this way please. Averin and Vorum went back to the armory and there was a guard waiting at the door way holding a claymore. Vorum: Ah! Here we go. Vorum takes the sword from the guard and the guard leaves. Vorum walks over to Averin and hands him the claymore. Vorum: This is a double blade sword. Double blade swords can be used as a two handed blade or split into two one handed blades. Averin: {takes the sword} How does it work? Vorum: You twist the handle and it divides into two blades. Averin twisted the handle and it clicked. It worked! The sword split into two blades! Averin: Even better. Vorum: Well, you're all set. So now you need to leave. Averin: Wh-what? Vorum: Remember, you are not king yet, so you can't stay here. Follow me. Averin followed Vorum to the gates of the castle, then Vorum stopped. Vorum: Remember, you need to get married to be king. There is a colony of half-dragons south of here. They are very hostile so be careful. Wear the cloak at all times and try not to get killed. Averin: Why do I have to go to a colony of Half-dragons? Vorum: Here half-dragons are hated. There, they are not. Averin: Will I change any more? Vorum: No. You have changed completely into half-dragon. Averin: Thats good to know. Vorum: And one more thing. Half-dragons are very easy to piss off, so try not to offend any of them. And since you are a half-dragon you will do the same thing and maybe even go feral. Averin: Feral? Vorum: The dragon part of you takes over. Now go! The guards are coming! Averin pulled his hood over his head and continued walking down the road. Three days later he heard the faint sound of laughter coming from up the road. He looked up and three Half-dragons were walking towards him. One of them spots Averin and they all stop walking. Averin stopped five feet from them. Man1: Hey. Whats your name? Averin remained quiet. Man1: Hey! I asked you a question. Averin: My name is Averin. Averin continued walking but was stopped by the three. Man1: Where do you think you're going? Averin thought for a second. Averin: The last person that stopped me ended up with his head on a stick. Man1: Hahaha! I'd like to see you try! Averin leaned in towards the person. Averin: Do... Not... Tempt me. Do you understand. Man1: Y-y-y-yes s-s-s-sir. Averin: Good. Man2: I call your bluff. Man3: Me too. Averin took out his scythe. Averin: Try me. Man2: Hehe. We're not afraid of you. Both of them took out longswords. Averin: I was hoping that I did not have to kill anyone. One of the two men ran up to him and Averin swung his schythe up and got him in the chest. The second man ran up to Averin while he was distracted by the first man and averin pulled out his sword and stabbed him in the abdomen. Averin dropped the first man off his scythe and put up his sword then walked over to the second man. Averin: Any last words? Man3: No! Please no! Averin brought the scythe down on the man's neck but stopped before it touched the skin. Averin: You're lucky I'm generous. Averin put the scythe up and put his cloak back on. He walked over to the man who just watched one of his friends die. Averin: Help me get your friend to the colony. The man nodded and helped Averin pick up his friend. After an hour of silence the man finally spoke. Man1: My name is Orpius. Averin: Ok. Orpius: Will he be fine? Averin: I don't know. It would be best if we just wait and see. So, where were you and your friends headed? Orpius: We were headed towards the astle to see if we could join the army. But after what happened today I don't think that we're good enough to be in the army. Averin: Well a few lessons and I might let you join. Orpius: Wow. That was a horrible joke. Averin; I don't joke. I'm the next king. Orpius: Ok man quit trying to be funny, its not working. Averin stopped walking. Averin: I told you, I do not joke. And if you tell anyone that I am the next king, I will kill them and then you. Are we clear? Orpius: Yes sir! Sorry sir! Averin: And another thing. I hate suck ups and call me by my name only. Several hours later it started to get dark and Orpius stopped walking. Orpius: We should set up camp. Averin: Why? Ive been traveling for three days straight and I could keep going. Orpius:How are you still alive? Aerin: What do you mean? Orpius: The royal guard hunt us down at night if we are on the roads. Averin: Hehehe. Orpius: Whats so funny? Averin: Before I left the castle, Vorum had- Orpius: You were in the castle?! AVerin: Yeah, Its a great story too. Orpius: Well could you shorten it? Averin: Sure. You see I'm not from this world. In fact the last thing Iremember about where I'm from is that I was sacraficed to a shrine. I woke up in the castle infirmary back then I was still human. Orpius: What??? Averin: You see, I used to be- Guard1: Hey! I think I see one! Averin took off his cloak tied it to his waist and picked up Orpius's half dead friend. He spread his wings to their twenty foot winspan and took off going straight up. Orpius did the same but with smaller wings. Both looked down at the two guards Who were running down a path through the forest. Both of them landed and verin put the man down. Orpius: I have never seen anyone with wings that big! Averin: My story explains it. I used to be a human. Orpius: Holy shit!! I Know a morpher!! Averin: yeah yeah, whatever. As I was saying, I used to be a human but Not anymore because I was given the heart of a dragon. Orpius: You... You killed a dragon. Averin: No, he actually gave up his life to save mine. You see, Someone shot me in the chest with an arrow when I was a human. I am supposed to be the next king for some reason, so they gave me a heart transplant. And now I have a dragon's heart beating in my chest. Orpius: Then how did you turn into a half-dragon? Averin: Actual dragon magic, the dragon's heart holds all of it's magic. Orpius: What dragon would give up their life for someone else to live? Averin: I don't know. Orpius: That would explain why your wings are so big. Averin: What do you mean? Orpius: Well when I saw you pick up Bennick, thats his name, I thought that we were going to run. So when I saw you take of into the air with him I almost shit myself. Averin: Care to explain to me what you're saying? Orpius: {sigh} We half-dragons can't fly while holding someone in our arms unless we are really strong. Averin: So I should just carry my own weight if I want to stay unnoticed. Orpius: Bingo! Averin: Well we better get going. Averin and Orpius walked the rest of the way to the colony and stopped at the front gates. Without thinking Averin walked up to the big doors and a small window slid open. Averin: Three draconians, one injured. Guard: Remove your cloak first. Averin growled at the guard then took off the cloak. Averin: Is that better? The window slid shut and the doors opened. Averin put his cloak back on. Orpius: How did you know what to say? Averin: I guess from pure instinct. Both of them walked in and headed for the medical tent. After they put Bennick in one of the beds they headed towards the exit. When they stepped outside there was a croud gathered around them. Orpius: {whispering} I swear i did not tell anyone anything. A big draconian walked up to averin and held out her hand. Draconian: Pay up. Averin: Did you just tell me to 'pay up'? Orpius: {to self}Uh-oh, bad move sister. Draconian: Yes, now pay up or else. Orpius: I'm going to back away so that I don't get killed. {backs away} Averin: Well I don't have any money. So deal with it. Croud: {gasp} Draconian: Well then, it looks like you're going to have to leave. The draconian grabbed Averin's shoulder. Averin: I would really hate to spill blood on the street. Draconian: Oh? Is that a challenge? Averin: No. Its a warning. The entire croud stopped speaking. Draconian: Look kid you better not piss me off because- Averin grabbed the draconians hand and threw her into hte side of a building. As she was getting up three others came to help her. Man1: Zerein! Are you ok? Man2: Here. Let us help you up! Zerein: Don't you dare touch me! The three draconians backed away from Zerein. Averin: I'm not a kid. I am twenty three years old. Zerein: You're going to wish you never set foot in here! Zerein pulled out a battle axe and charged at Averin. Averin: Its funny, the way we just met. Averin punched zerein in the stomach making her bend over in pain. Averin: My names Averin. Zerein: I'm going to kill you!! Zerein charged at him again and punched averin in the jaw sending him flying into a stone wall and shattering it on impact. Zerein: Dispose of the body. Two draconians ran over to Averin And one of them reatched for his arm. Averin: Touch me and you will die too! Both of them jumped when he said that and ran back into the croud. Man1: Zerein! Man2: He's still alive! Averin stood up and shook the rubble off. Averin: Now I'm pissed. Zerein: What?! You're still alive! But how? Averin: Because I am wearing dragon armor. Zerein: Ha! What a lie! Averin dropped his cloak revealing the armor and weapons he had. Zerein: It doesn't matter I'll still kill you. Averin: Really, you think you can kill me? Averin dashed at zerein with twice the speed she did and kicked her to the ground. As she got up Averin took out his scythe. Zerein flipped on her back Zerein: Who... are you? Averin: I am Averin Vientorau. Averin swung his scythe down at Zerein. Everyone looked away and Zerein closed her eyes, but Averin struck the ground right next to Zerein's head. Averin: Get up. Zerein opened her eyes. Zerein: You're...You're letting me live? Averin: Yes and now you owe me. Averin put up his scythe and held his hand out. Zerein grabbed his hand and he helped her up. Zerein: ... Averin: You don't have to go with me but if I ask you for your help... Zerein: I understand. Zerein turned and walked into the croud and out of sight. One person started clapping and then the rest of them joined in. Averin: Orpius! Orpius: Yes? Averin: Lets go. The croud stopped clapping. Man1: Wait! Where are you going? Averin: I can't stay here. Woman1: Why not? Averin: I have to make it to the mountains. Man2: But thats a three week trip from here. Woman1: Yeah you'll never make it without any food or water. Averin: It doesn't matter! I got here in three days without food, and I have been longer without anything to eat or drink. Orpius, are you coming or staying? Orpius: No, I think I'll stay. Averin: As you wish. Hey Orpius. Orpius: What? Averin: I'll be back, you better remember that. Orpius: I will. Averin picked up his cloak, put it on, and headed out the gates. Zerein lurked in the shadows and snuck out while everyone was distracted by a huge bar fight. Several hours later Averin stopped walking and headed into the woods. he walked for about half a mile then stopped and listened. He heard the faint footsteps of someone and took out his claymore. The familiar click of the handle echoed through the woods and the footsteps stopped. Averin: You shouldn't have followed me. Averin threw one of the two swords and it stuck in a tree right next to Zerein. Zerein listened carefully for Averin but she could not hear him. She took another step and an arrow landed in front of her foot. Averin snuck up behind her and stopped about five feet away from her. Averin: Why are you following me? Zerein jumped when she heard him and pulled out a knife and turned around. Zerein: Oh. Well I... Um... I... Averin turned around and started walking towards the path. Averin: Don't follow me. Zerein: Wait! Averin stopped. Averin: What? Zerein: I can't go back. Averin: Yes you can. Zerein: No. I literally am not aloud back in, because I left after I lost a fight. Its considered being cowardly, anyone who leaves after losing a fight is not aloud back in the gates. Averin: Then why did you leave/ Zerein: Because I couldn't stand the humiliation. so I came to find you. Averin: Well sorry to disappoint you but you can't come with me. Zerein: But I know where your sister is. Averin stopped walking. Averin: What? Zerein: When you said your full name, Averin Vientorau, I remembered an Aqueian I traveled with a while back. Averin: How do you know I'm looking for someone? Zerein: I used to have spies lurking around the castle but then you killed one and the other two quit. Averin: Orpius and Bennick... Zerein: Yes they told me you are going to be the next king. Averin: So what else do you know? Zerein: I'm afraid thats it. So can Iplease go with you? Averin: I'll think about it. Averin continued walking, Zerein still following. After another full day of walking it was night time again. Averin: We'll set up camp here. Zerein: In the middle of the road? The guards will find us. Averin: No they won't. After an hour passed averin had a large fire going and it was starting to get cold. Zerein: Why aren't you cold and how are you able to breath fire? Averin opened his cloak and showed Zerein his glowing chest. Averin: As you can see my chest has a flame burning inside of it. Zerein: How is that possible? Averin: All dragons have a flame burning inside of them. Zerein: What do you mean? Averin told his story from beginning to end. Zerein: Wow. So you've been through a lot lately, huh? Averin: It seems that I have. Zerein: {shivers} Man, it got cold quick. Averin: This cloak is big enough for the both of us, would you like to get in with me? Zerein: Sure! Zerein got up and Averin helped her get into his cloak. Zerein felt the warmth of his body and snuggled up to him. Zerein: Thank you. Averin: Don't mention it. They both layed down and went to sleep. The next morning Zerein woke up first. She gently got up trying not to wake Averin up. She stripped her clothes and jumped into the river that ran along the road. She swam down to the bottom and grabbed four lobsters then she swam up to the surface. When she broke the surface she swam to the edge and put the lobsters on the edge then got herself out of the water. She looked over at Averin To see if he was awake and he was still asleep. Zerein: Hey Averin. I got us something to eat. Averin sat up and looked at Zerein. Averin: What do you... He saw that Zerein was naked and blushed. Averin: ... Want. He turned his head the other way. Averin: I'm...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... Zerein grabbed his shoulder and he turned his head back towards her. She was sitting next to him cross-legged. Zerein: Its ok. I don't mind Averin: {blushing} You said you got us something to eat? Zerein: Ah! I left them on the edge of the river! Averin looked at the edge of the river and the only thing there was zereins clothes and weapons. He got up and got her clothes. Averin: Put thee back on before someone sees you. He gave her her clothes. Zerein: {to self} Does he like me or not? Averin: I don't, now get your clothes on. Zerein jumped when he said that and put on her clothes quickly. Averin: If you want me to love you then you have to earn my trust first. Zerein: Fine. Averin took off his cloak. Averin: I've decided to let you come with me. But you have to help me find my sister. Zerein: Yes love. Averin turns to her, opens his mouth to speak but stops. Averin: Never mind I'll let it slide. Zerein: Yes! Now the last place I saw Kreia was in the Black Skull Swamp. Averin: And where is that? Zerein: About a mile hike down from The northern dragon colony and a two day trip from the dragon scale quarry. Averin: Well If she disappeareda few days ago then we should check the quarry. Zerein: No, she disappeared about a year ago. Averin: What? Zerein: Yeah, but every now and then I get a message from her saying she is alive and kicking. Averin: Where do they come from? Zerein: I don't know they show up outside of the gates on the ground after someone or something knocks on them. Averin: Which way is the quarry? Zerein: Further down this path. We should be there in about five days time. Averin opened his wings. Averin: Lets make it there in an hour. Zerein: But I don't know how to fly. Averin: Then I'll carry you. Averin hugged Zerein. Averin: Hold on tight. Averin flapped his wings and flew straight up. After he was about five hundred feet in the air he started to follow the road until he came up to an active quarry and soon he landed in the forest. Averin: Ok. I know nothing about this quarry. Zerein: Its home to many orcs and they keep slaves to help with the work. Some draconians work with the orcs so that they can make some money so me and you could probably join temporarily. Averin: Its a good plan. Lets go in an hour so that they think we're together because I can tell you that I saw about fifty of them look at me. Zerein: Fine. An hour later they both exited the forest and Zerein was acting like she was putting her pants back on as she walked out. Zerein: Lets go love. They both walked to the quarry and a large orc stopped them at the entrance. Orc: Is she with you? Averin: Yes. Now could you tell me where we could sign up for a job here? Orc: Just look for the warden's office. Its got a large statue on it. Averin: Thanks. They both entered the quarry and almost immediately the spotted the statue on top of the warden's office. Averin: Lets hurry and get thi done. They both walked in the warden's office and the only thing in there was a desk with a draconian bigger than Averin and Zerein. They walked up to the large draconian and he turned towards them. Warden: May I help you? Averin: Yes, we would like to work here. Warden: Ok. You can start by taking this chart and check for any slaves that have escaped. Averin: Yes sir. Warden: And as for you miss, I do recall last seeing you running the river colony. And seeing how you're here it means that you lost to someone. So why don't you stay here and we can have a little talk tog- Averin drew his sword and held the point to the warden's face. Averin: She stays with me. Warden: Oh, a wise guy. Well let me tell you something, the last guy Who threate- Averin: 'The last guy' didn't beat Zerein like I did. Warden: Uh... I-I'm sorry. Averin put his sword away and both him and Zerein walked out. Zerein: {thinking} He does care for me. Averin went down the long list of names until he came to his sister's name. Averin: There she is! An orc came up to him. Orc: Thre who is. Averin: I need to find this person. Averin pointed to Kreia's name. Orc: Machinery, floor two. Averin: Thank you. Averin and Zerein both went to the area that the orc said was where his sister was and there was a bunch of aqueians going back and forth carrying water buckets. Averin: Would Kreia Vientorau please come with me? A small aqueian put downthe buckets it was carrying and walked over to Averin and Zerein. Kreia: Yes sir? Averin: Follow me Averin and Zerein lead Kreia out of the room and around the corner. Kreia stopped. Kreia: What are you going to do with me? Averin turned around and Kreia took a step back. Averin walked up to her and grabbed her. Kreia tried to break free but could not. Averin: Kreia! look at me! Kreia stopped squirming and looked at Averin. Averin: Now be quiet Or you'll get me in trouble. Kreia looked at him for a minute. Kreia: I've never seen you here before. Who are you? Averin: Its kind of hard to believe that you've been in this world longer than I have. Kreia looks at Zerein. Kreia: Wait a minute, is that you Zer- Zerein covered her mouth. Zerein: Shhh. Averin: Ok. The warden needs to see you in his office. Kreia bowed her head. She knew what he meant. When one of her friends goes to see the warden, they never come back. They walked out of the caves and into the wardens office. Averin: Warden. Warden: What? Averin: Do you know what this girl's name is? Warden: Yeah, Kreia Vientorau. Averin: Has she ever told you anything like her big brother will kill you if he finds her here? Warden: Yeah, she told me that 'Averin was going to come in here and kill me. Can you believe it? What a stupid name. Hahaha. Averin: Well, she was right. The warden stopped laughing. Warden: ...What? Averin: You heard me. And when she said that he will be pissed she meant it. Lets see I came in and asked for a job, you gave me a clipboard and said go find these people. Well, you didn't ask me my name, and thats where you screwed up. Averin dropped his cloak and took out his scythe. Warden: ...So you know Averin? Averin: No, I am Averin. Averin struck the top of the doorway frame and the door collapsed. Averin charged at the warden as fast as he could and forced the blade deep into his chest. The warden coughed up blood. Warden: I...I thoughtthat...you weren't...real. The warden breathed his last breath then his body fell limp. Averin pulled his scythe out of the wardens chest and put it away. Kreia ran upto hm and hugged him. Kreia: I missed you so much! Where were you? Averin: Trying to find you. Zerein: I hate to burst you bubble, but how do we get out of here? Averin walked over to the pile of rubble and pushed it out the way. Averin: I can only carry one at a time. Zerein: Then I guess I should learn to fly. Averin picked up Kreia who was two thirds his size and tied her te him with his cloak. Averin: Hide in here til I get back. Kreia: Yuo won't make it back. There are archers everywhere. Averin: Then when you flap your wings hold your arms together and flap them at the same time. Averin started running and took off at verry high speed. Zerein coppied Averin almost perfectly and she started flying just like him. Averin: There you go. Keep flapping your wings just like that. Soon they cleared the edge of the quarry and were flying over the forest. Then they soon cam up to the river colony and Zerein landed outside the gates but Averin cotinued Into the gates and landed in the middle of the small city. He let down Kreia called Orpius over. Orpius: Hey! You're back! Averin: {to everyone} Zerein is aloud back in! If anyone says anything different they have to deal with me! Man1: But thats against the colony code! Croud: Yeah! Averin Inhaled as musch air as he could and exhaled a stream of fire straight up. The croud immediately went quiet. Averin: Then she will stay with me the whole time. Come on in Zerein. Zerein walked into the middle of the town and to Averin's side. Zerein: Hello love. Averin: You heard what I said? Zerein:Yes. Averin: Good. Now if anyone kills her then I will burn this colony TO THE GROUND.!Do I make myself clear!? The whole colony replied by going back to what they were doing. A few Hours later it started to get dark and storm clouds started rolling in. Averin: I think we should go inside for the night. Zerein: We could stay at my old house. Averin: Good idea, but me and you have to sleep in the same room. Zerein: I know love. Kreia: Why does she keep calling you 'love'? Averin: Because she wants me. Kreia: Ohh. Al three of them went inside of Zerein's house. Kreia filled the bathtub with water, crawled in, and went to sleep leaving Zerein and Averin alone. Zerein: Well love seems that we're alone. Averin: {sarcastic} Huh? Really? I didn't notice. Zerein: Oh you now what I mean. Zerein sat down on her bed and took her top off making Averin blush. Zerein: You know you want to. Zerein and Averin locked lips and layed down on the bed. Early in the morningKreia woke up and got out of the bathtub. She drained it then went up stairs to wake Averin and Zerein up but stopped at the door. She heard moaning coming from inside and turned around then went back down stairs. Kreia: {to self} I guess that I'll wait another hour then. Kreia walked outside. Kreia: Hey, Orpius! Orpius: What do you want? Kreia: I'm Averin's sister. Orpius: Oh! I appologize. What can I get you? Kreia: Where is the nearest stream, lake, or pond? Orpius: just go left of the entrance. Kreia: Thanks. Kreia headed left of the entrance and sure enough there was a river. Kreia dived in andcaught as many fish as she could get and went to the shore. Kreia: Finally! Real food. Kreia ate the fish and then dived back in. Meanwhile back at the house Averin and Zerein Came out of her room. Zerein: That was great. Averin: It sure was. Zerein: So do you love me or not? Averin: Definitely. Zerein hugged Averin. Zerein: Yes! Averin: Ok. Lets go. Zerein: Aww... Can't we stay a little longer? Averin: I wish we could, but I still need to find my brother. Zerein: Oh alright. Let me change into something decent and I'll meet you outside. Averin: Ok. Zerein changed and joined Averin outside the house. Kreia came walking down the road and waved over at them. Kreia: Hey Averin! Averin: Good morning. Kreia: You seem, relaxed. Averin: I've just gotten used to being a dragon is all. Kreia: I heard what you two were doing so you can drop the act. Averin: How do you know. Kreia: I was going to wake you and Zerein up this morning but then I heard the moaning and decided not to interrupt you two. I left afterwards and went diving in the stream and caught a basket of fish. Averin: Where did you get a basket. Kreia: I made one from pine needles. Averin: Where is it then? Kreia: Still in the stream. Zerein: Not a good Idea. there are kappa who will take fish caught by other people. Kreia: Oh great. Now the baskets probably in pieces now. Zerein: Its best if we just get something to eat on the road. Kreai: Ok, fine. Averin: Well we should get going. Orpius! Orpius: Yeah? Averin: Any news on where my brother might be? Orpius: Nope. Averin: You know, I wonder why you follow me around. Orpius: I'm the head spy. If you ask me a Question I have to be there and answer it when you ask me. Averin: that explains a lot. You're not following me outside the gates are you? Orpius: No. Only when you're here. Averin Zerein and Kreia all left the colony and headed down the road. After Walking for half an hour Averin stopped. Averin: Don't move. Both Zerein and Kreia stopped walking. Averin Slowly took out his bow and readied an arrow. He stood still for a second and then turned towards zerein and Kreia. Averin: Don't move. Averin let the arrow fly and it flew between the two girls hitting a half-dragon in the shoulder. Averin: Who are you? Draconian: I'm looking for Averin Vientorau. The draconian pulled the arrow from his shoulder and walked up to Averin. Averin: Who wants to know? Draconian: Bennick Poncro, The one you brought to the medical tent. Averin: Are you here for another fight? Bennick: No. We have a problem. Averin: With what? Bennick: After you left the colony a human came asking for you. Averin: What did he look like? Bennick: We couldn't see who he was. When the guards wouldn't let him in the gates he forced the gates open by himself! Averin: What was he wearing? Bennick: Silver full body armor. Zerein: Sounds like a guild warrior! Averin: Is that bad? Zerein: Very! These things show up out of nowhere and don't leave till they find and kill their target. No one has survived an attack. Averin: Then lets get out of here while we can. Averin took off his cloak and tied Kreia his sister to him. He took off straight up and Zerein followed but still with a little trouble flying. Averin: Where is the Northern colony? Zerein: Not a good Idea. We should find out a way to kill that thing instead. Averin: How do we kill something that is stronger than ten draconians? Zerein: I know someone Who can help. But he won't listen to you unless you're king. Averin: Who is he? Zerein: Well he's the royal blacksmith. Averin stopped and hovered. Averin: Are you saying that just so that I will marry You? Zerein stopped next to Averin. Zerein: No actually... Averin: Zerein, what are you trying to say? Zerein: Well, I'm... Uhm. I think we should land first. They both landed next to a stream and Averin let Kreia down. Zerein: Kreia. Kreia: Yes? Zerein: Could you give me and Averin a minute alone? Kreia: Sure. I'l Try to get some fish. Kreia jumped into the stream and swam down. Averin: Ok we're alone, now tell me whats going on. Zerein: Well at first I thought I wasn't, but now I'm sure. Averin: Sure about what? That you love me? Zerein: No, I'm pregnant. Averin: ...I uh... Don't know what to say. Zerein: Yeah, I was kind of excited when I found out. But you didn't act the way I thought you would. Averin: How did you expect me to react? You thought I would angry at you or something? Zerein: Well, kind of. Just then Kreia came out of the water holding three fish. Kreia: Got 'em! She looked at Averin and he was looking at Zerein with a shocked look on his face. Kreia: What happened? Zerein: I told him that I was pregnant. Kreia: What?! You're pregnant?! Kreia started to hyperventilate and passed out. Zerein picked her up and shook her till she woke up. Kreia: AAAHHHH!!! Zerein: Kreia!! It's me, Zerein. Kreia stopped screaming and looked at her. Kreia: Oh. Hey Zerein. Averin: Uh... You ok Kreia? Kreia: Yeah I'm fine. They all ate the fish quietly and after an hour they heard the footsteps of something large and made of metal coming their way. Averin: Damn it! It found us! Kreia, swim back to the castle. Kreia nooded and jumped into the stream. Averin and Zerein took off into the air and flew towards the castle. Zerein: ...So. Will you marry me? Averin: I'm going to be a father. So yes. Zerein smiled. Zerein: Thanks love. Soon they were nearing the castle and Zerein stopped. Averin: Whats wrong? Zerein: What if they don't like me? Averin: Just stay with me. Zerein nodded and they landed outside the castle gates. Vorum was waiting outsideof the castle and spotted him. Vorum: Welcome back! How are youdo- Averin: Not now Vorum. I've got a guild warrior following me and I need to forge a weapon myself. Vorum: I'm sorry but the guards will not alow you in unless you have a wife. Averin: {sigh} Vorum, meet Zerein. Vorum: Oh! you found someone you love! Averin: Yeah yeah, cutto the end now because that thing isn't far behind. Vorum: Yes sir! Guards! Guard1: Yes sir? Vorum: {to guard1} You arrange for a wedding to be made. {to guard2} You escort The lord to the blacksmith. We've got a guild warrior hunting for his highness. Guard1&2: Yes sir! Right away sir. Averin followed the guard to the blacksmith who greeted him. Blacksmith: Did you find yourself a girl? Averin: Sure did. And by the way, your armor saved my life. Blacksmith: Wow! It ust be really good armor then! Averin: It sure is. And another thing, do you know how to kill a guild warrior? Blacksmith: Yeah, why do you ask? JUst then a guard rushed in. Guard: The guild warrior is here! Averin: Thats why. Blaksmith: Ok. I'll explain. Guild warriors are not alive at all, they are a suit of armor and source of agic energy. If you can take out the power source then it will fall apart. Averin: Explain What and where it is. Blacksmith: Its a green orb in the middle of the chest area. The back of the suit opens up but it will be a challenge to get it open. Averin: Can the movements be jammed? Blacksmith: Yes. A well placed arrow will force the joints to stop moving. Averin: Do you have any bombs? Blacksmith: Yes. The blacksmith pulled out a bomb and gave it to Averin. Blacksmith: I always keep one on me. Averin: Thanks. Now how do I open the armor? Blacksmith: You have to pry it open with your sword. Averin: Ok. Hey, how do you know so much about these? Blacksmith: Because Ive been trying to make a replica. Averin: ...Try not to blow yourself up. Averin made his way back outside where the guild warrior was fighting off twenty soldiers. Averin: Thats enough, retreat back to the castle. The soldiers stopped fighting the guild warrior and went back into the castle. Guild W.: I am lookng for Averin Vientorau. Where is he? Averin: Is that a command? Guild W.: Yes. Now where is he? Averin: Why do want him? Guild W.: You seem to be protecting him. Are you Averin Vientorau? Averin: Yeah I am. Guild W.: Then you must die. The guild w. charged at Averin And punched him. Averin quickly moved out of the way and flew straight up. The guild w. followed him up and Averin pulled out his bow. As the guild w. got close to him Averin shoved an arrow in its shoulder And flew back away from it. The guild w. tried to move its arm but was unsuccessful. Guild W.: MALFUNCTION Averin fired three arrows at the guild w. and all three stuck in the joints of the legs and its other arm. The guild w. fell to the ground with a large thud. Averin followed it down and took out his sword. Guild W.: You can't harm me. Averin: Who said anything about that. Guild W.: MALFUNCTION Averin ran behind the immobile guild w. and pryed open the back with his sword revealing the green glowing orb. averin reached in and grabbe the orb. A large jolt of electricity surged through his body but he still pulled it out. After he got the orb out he lit the bomb wick and threw it in the suit of armor. He ran back to the castle and watched as it exploded. Averin could here the chears getting fainter and fell over. Zerein: Averin!! The whole castle stopped cheering and V orum came over to him. Vorum: Guards!! Guards!! Man down!! Man down!! Averin then passed out. He woke up in a bed, it was night. Zerein: He's awake! He's awake! Kreia, come quick! Kreia: Averin! You're awake! Averin: How long was I asleep? Zerein: ...Eight months, three weeks, six days Averin: Damn. It will not be too long before the bay comes, will it? Zerein: Yes. Averin looks at Zerein's belly which was now protruding. Averin: I'm going to be a father... Zerein: And a good one too. Averin: {smiling} You really think so? Zerein: Yeah. Averin sat up And called for Vorum. Vorum: Is the baby coming?! Oh! Sir, you're awake! Averin: Where is the orb? Vorum: We put it on a stand in the trophy hall. Averin: Bring it to me. Vorum: But its... Why do you... What??? Averin: I said bring it to me. Vorum snapped his fingers and a guard came in with the orb a minute later. Averin: This thing shocked me really bad when I grabbed it... Averin took the orb and it glowed brighter. Vorum: Its never done that before! Averin got out of the bed. Vorum: Sir you shouldn't- Averin: I will be ok. Averin brought the orb to the blacksmith. Blacksmith: Whoa!! Howed did you get it without breaking it?! Averin: I just grabbed it, it gave me a nasty shock, and then I blew up the suit. Blacksmith: It shocked you? Averin: Yeah and it put me to sleep for the past nine months! Blacksmith: Then that means that its not just an orb! Its a plasmerian! Averin: A what?? Blacksmith: A plasmerian. They are very hard to find because they only exist in the dimension parallel to ours. Hand me the orb> Averin gave him the orb and the blacksmith hit it with a hammer, causing it to shatter. In his hand was now a small wisp. Blacksmith: I knew it! Wisp: Where is my suit? Averin: Gone. Wisp: who destroyed it? Averin: I did. Wisp: Thank you. Averin nodded andwent back to his bedroom. Zerein was sitting on th bed clenching her belly. Zerein: A-Averin! Its coming! Averin: Vorum! Kreia! Come quick!! Kreia: Whats wrong?! Vorum: Is something happening? Averin: The baby is coming Vorum: My word... Vorum fell over and passed out. Kreia: I'll go get the nurse. Kreia came back with the nurse. Zerein was screaming from pain now. Nurse: Averin could you please wait outside? Averin left the room and the nurse shut the door. An hour later Zerein stopped screaming and the nurse came out. Nurse: You can come in now. Averin Walked in and Zerein was asleep. Kreia came up to him and gave him his child. Kreia: Its a girl. Averin cradled his little girl in his arms. Averin: She's beautiful. Kreia helped the nurse clean up the room and both left. Nurse: You know, you might make a good nurse. Kreia: Really? Nurse: Yeah. Averin sat down next to Zerein as she was wakeing up. Averin: Hello love. What should we name her? Averin gave Zerein the child. Zerein: How about... Danrei? Averin: Hmm. Danrei... I like it. Kreia walked in holding a pillow with two crowns on it. Kreia: Here are your crowns for when your married. Kreia put the pillow on the table next to the bed and walked out of the room. Averin: I thinlk we should plan the wedding now that we have a child. Zerein: we should shouldn't we. Averin picked Vorum up off the floor and woke him up. Averin: Hey Vorum, we should start planning the wedding now that I'm awake. Vorum: ... Yes we should. Averin put Vorum down and left the room. Kreia followed. Kreia: Averin, when is the wedding? Averin: Tomorrow. Kreia: Wow. A little quick about it aren't you? Averin: Everyone has waited long enough for me to wake up. Kreia: But what about Tumba? Averin: ... Kreia: You're still worried about him though, aren't you? Averin: Yes. But I don't know where he is or where anyone last saw him. Or even what he is. Kreia: We were both here for a year. At first he was traveling to the mountains. But then our paths crossed and we found out who was who. Averin: So. did he or you find someone to stay with? Kreia: Yeah a dragon came along and saved us from an orc who went rampant. Averin: And he brought you here? Kreia: Uh-huh. Averin: Did you meet a special someone like I did? Kreia: Yes I did. Raechik, he's an aqueian like me. Averin: Where is he now? Kreia: ... Averin: Oh. Sorry for your loss. Kreia: He's not dead. But he betrayed me. Averin: What did he do to you? Kreia: That asshole put me in that hell hole of a quarry. Averin: Then why do you still like him? Kreia: He said that he would come back because he actually prooved to me that he loved me. But he never came back. Averin: He left you to die so that he could be free. Kreia: Actually it was a different situation than that. Do you have a few minutes to talk? Averin: I have plenty of time. So how did you to meet? Kreia: Well, when I passed to this realm...

...One year, nine months, and four days ago...

Kreia woke up in a deep, cold darkness. It wasn't an unpleasent cold, but a soothing cold. Kreia tryed speaking but ti sounded like she was underwater. She panicked and swam towards what she thought was the surface. She swam for what seemed like a whole minute then stopped. She was almost out of breath, she stopped. Kreia: {thinking} Wait...If I was unconscious underwater at the bottom of what seems to be a deepsea trench...Then how am I alive? She felt her body and discovered that it was different from how she remembered it. She had scales instead of skin, gills on her neck and back, and fins. She stopped holding her breath and breathed normally. Kreia: {thinking} I don't understand. I can't see, I'm at the bottom of a trench, and I'm a fish! What do I do? Kreia moved her fins as if she had done it thousands of times before. As Kreia was exploring her new body something slammed into her. She heard something clicking and then something on it's sides began glowing. ???: {signing with hands} Oh! I'm sorry for hitting you. Kreia: ??? ???: {signing} Are you ok? Kreia pointed to what she thought to be up. The creature grabbed Kreia's arm and swam to the surface. Kreia coughed up a lot of water and sodid the creature. Kreia: Thank you! {gasp} I can speak! ???: Hmm. I've never seen you before. Are you new here? Kreia: New?! HA!! I don't know where the hell I am! ???: How did you get here? Kreia: I...Don't know. ???: Well Then you've got a lot to learn about this place. My name is Raechik Saumpolo, whats yours? Kreia: Kreia Vientorau. Raechik: First, do you even know what you are? Kreia: Not a clue, I woke up at the bottom of an underwater trench. Raechik: Wow... You are an aqueian. We aqueia are the dominant species that live in the seas. We communicate underwater by using a hand sign language. We live in cities made of an underwater plant called gompo. Kreia: Well, could you teach me that sign language you were using underwater? Raechik: Sure. Kreia: Wow! Thanks! Raechik: I could teach you on the way to the gompo market. Kreia: Ok, but uhm...could you give me a second to think? Raechik: Sure. When you need me just swim to that big sea spire. He pointed to a big rock rising out of the sea. Kreia nodded and swam down to the bottom. Kreia: {thinking} Ok, I'm whats called an "aqueian". But I don't feel like I changed at all, and on top that I'm not wearing any clothes. Am I still the same? Kreia felt her breasts. Kreia: {thinking} These are the same Kreia felt between her legs. Kreia: {thinking} it's the same too. I feel so exposed...But that guy didn't look at my body when we were talking. Should I trust him? Kreia swam back to the surface and turned towards the rock that Raechik pointed to earlier and swam to it. As she got close to it Raechik saw her and swam to her. Raechik: You ready? Kreia: Yeah. Raechik: Hey, why are you blushing? Kreia: Uhm..Do any of the other aqueia wear anything? Raechik: Yeah, every now and then you might see someone wearing a mask or a neckalace but thats pretty much it. Why do you ask? Kreia: Well...I don't feel very...comfortable. Raechik: What? Oh! You mean you feel exposed. Well aqueia only have sex once a year and you're a good three weeks away. Kreia: So noone will say anything about the way I look? Raechik: We aqueia don't feel the need for sexual relief until the warm tides come in. Kreia: Well I still feel naughty. Raechik put his hand on her shoulder. Raechik: don't worry about it. You will soon get used to it. Kreia nodded and they both headed to the gompo market. As they neared the market Kreia was learning the last of what Raechik knew. Kreia: {signing} No...thank...you...I'm...fine. Raechik: Good. Thats it. I've taught you every word I know. Kreia: Wow. I did not know that it was that easy to learn. Raechik: Hey, we're here. Lets get a nice size limb so I can plant a second room next to mine. Kreia: Is someone moving in with you? Raechik: No. I'm getting ready for the warm tides. Kreia: Oh. Raechik dived down and came back up a few minutes later holding a white stick with blue leaves covering it. Kreia: Thats gompo? Raechik: Yeah. You've never seen gompo before? Kreia: No. Raechik: So you don't have a house do you? Kreia: No. Raechik: Well then I'll get you a gompo limb. Raechik dove back underwater and came back up with another limb the same size as the one he got earlier. Kreia: Wow, thank you. But is it ok if I stay with you for a while? Raechik: No problem. I don't mind the company. Kreia: Thank you so much. Kreia hugged him and backed up right after. Raechik: Whats the matter? Kreia: I'm still not used to being this way yet. Raechik: Oh yeah you're not used to being exposed. We all go through it at first. Raechik grabbed her hand. Raechik: Come with me. It will be fun. Kreia and Raechik swam down to the base of the giant white and blue tree. They started signing to eachother. Raechick: There is a current that runs around this gompo tree that goes to where I live. It changes directions once a year. Kreia: How fast is it? Raechik: Fast enough to pull a whamparo into it. Kreia: Whats a whamparo? Raechik: A really big and fast fish. Raechik jumped into the current and disappeared from sight almost instantly. Kreia jumped in after him and she watched as the gigantic tree disappeared from view in less than a minute. Raechik Swam up to her holding the two limbs in his mouth. He grabbed her and hugged her tight then they slammed into something. Kreia: {signing} What happened? Raechik did not sign back or move at all. The limbs slowly drifted to the sea floor. Kreia: {thinking} Oh no! I have to do something! But what... Kreia grabbed Raechik's body and pryed him loose. She checked to see if he was breathing but his chest and gills were not moving. Kreia tried to scream for help but she remembered that she was underwater. Kreia felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see another aqueian. Kreia: {signing} Please. Help him. ???: [signing} No. You have to. Kreia: {signing} But I don't know how... ???: {signing} Kreia, You were brought here to help rule the land alongside your brothers. You and I both know you love him. So save him. Kreia: {signing} How? ???: {signing} You are able to use magic at will. Kreia thought for a second then turned to Raechik then back at the aqueian but the aqueian was gone. Kreia walked over to Raechik and made up a spell in her mind. Kreia: {thinking} I hope this works. Kreia took one of the branches and cast a spell on it. The branch withered away and a small light was in its place. Kreia held the light to raechik's chest and the light floated into him. After the light disappeared Raechik took a deep breath and sat up. Raechik: Are you ok?! Kreia did not respond and passed out. Raechik picked up Kreia and put the other branch in his mouth. Raechick: Where did the other one go? Oh well. Raechick walked around the Rock wall and the current swept them up again. In three minutes they were both carried to Raechik's house. Kreia woke up and looked around. Kreia: Raechik? She was not underwater anymore. Raechik walked in holding a big clam shell full of fish. Raechick: Good morning. Kreia: Its morning? Raechik: Yeah. You slept for about two weeks. Kreia: Two weeks... Raechik: Yes and I would not go outside if I were you. Kreia: Why? Raechik: Because the second either of us leaves the 'urge' will overcome us. The warm tides came early this year by a full two weeks. and the water is so warm that it is enough to turn an aqueian into a sex crazed maniac. Kreia: Well, did you plant that second room you wanted? Raechik: Yes actually. And its big enou... Wait. Why do you want to know? Kreia: Uhm...I was hoping to feel the warm water, to know what its like to be with someone. I want to feel safe around you. Raechik: Uhm. Well...I uh... I don't know what to say. But if you do go outside then listen carefully. The urges last until the warm tides pass or you get pregnant. Kreia: You might want to listen for a second. Raechik: Go ahead I'm listening. Kreia: When you hit the wall that was in the current, you died. I called out for help and an aqueian came up behind me. He called me by my name and told me that I was supposed to rule this land alongside my brothers. After that he said that we both know that love you so I had to save you. Then he told me that he gave me the ability to use magic and then I used the life of the branch to save yours. Raechik: that aqueian was the god we all worship, Rondoa... Kreia: So will you come outside with me? Raechik: Are you sure you wish to go through with this? Kreia: Yes. Raechik: Then ladies first. Raechik moved a branch revealing a small hallway. Kreia entered and Raechik followed her. Raechik: After I open the next passage we will be in the flooded area of my house. Kreia: ...Four weeks. I hope they last long. Raechik moved a branch and the whole hallway was flooded with warm water in seconds. Kreia: It...It feels Great to be in warm water. Kreia felt her belly tingle with excitement and they kissed.

...Four weeks later...

Raechik: {panting} This is the last night that the warm tides will be here. Kreia: {panting} Lets make this one count. They both reached their climax and slept in that position. In the morning Raechik woke up first Raechik: Kreia...Kreia. Kreia: {yawn} Good morning honey. Raechik: Look. Kreia: Look at what? Raechik: What were we trying to do last night? Kreia: Get me pregnant. Raechik smiled and Kreia looked down at her slightly protruding belly. Kreia: {gasp} I'm pregnant! Raechik: We made the last night count. Kreia: We did... Raechik got up and went through the hall to the flooded part, leaving Kreia alone. Kreia: I'm finally pregnant after trying for a whole month. Raechik went outside the house and stretched in the cool water. He walked around his house to where he planted the gompo limb. It took root to the rock he put it on. Raechik went to the sides of it and tied it to the rest of his house using the seaweed. He went back inside and layed back down next to Kreia. Kreia: Thank you. Raechik: I should be thanking you. Kreia: Why? Raechik: Because you gave me a child. They heard a screem from outside and went to see what was happening. They saw a giant fish eating the gompo houses and started to get out of the house. Kreia stopped and clenched her belly. Raechik: I can't believe I forgot! You cant' move very much when you're pregnant, it can harm the child. Raechik picked her up and carryed her out of the room. As they were about to get out of the house teeth started to cut throught the house on both sides of them. They were trapped. just before the mouth closed it stopped and started to open. Kreia: Whats happening? Raechik looks to his left and a dragon was holding the mouth open. Dragon: {telepathically} Go! Now, while you still can! Raechik did not hesitate, he ran with Kreia in his arms through a hole in the side of house. The dragon came out behind them and stopped. Dragon: {telepathically} Are you Kreia Vientorau? Kreia nodded and the dragon layed down. Dragon: {telepathically}You need to come with me. Kreia: {thinking} Not without Raechik. Dragon: {telepathically} He is the father of your child, is he not? Raechik put Kreia on the dragon. Soon they were out of the water and in the air. Dragon: Your Brother has been found. Kreia: Do I know you? Raechik: Kreia. Raechik shook his head. Dragon: Its ok Raechik. Kreia, I am Rondoa. We met before when I came to you as an aqueian. Kreia: Oh its you. Rondoa: Your brother was last seen on his way to the mountains. I will drop you off at the castle. You can have your child there. Kreia looked at her belly. It had grown even more since they left. Kreia: How long until I go into labor? Raechik: I don't know. Rondoa: Shortly after I land. An hour later they landed in the courtyard of a large castle and Raechik helped Kreia down. As they were walking to the nursery Kreia stopped. Raechik: Kreia. You ok? Kreia: I'm going into labor. Raechik: What?! Now?! Kreia: Yes! Now help me get to the nursery! Raechik picked up Kreia and sprinted down the long hallway to another hallway lined with rooms. Raechik: Hello? Anybody here? A woman in a white outfit came out of one of the rooms. Nurse: Yes? Raechik: She just went into labor! Nurse: Oh my! bring her in here. Raechik Brought Kreia into the room. He put Kreia down and she clenched her belly. Kreia: Contraction. Nurse: The baby is about to come out. Raechik Wet a rag and dabbed Kreia's forehead. The nurse took out a small tub of water and put it next to Kreia. Nurse: I'm sorry but you will have to leave. Raechik left the room and Kreia started to scream. A few minutes later she stopped screaming and Raechik went back in. Kreia: It's a boy. What should we call him? Raechik: Berindt. Kreia: Berindt Vientorau or Berindt Saumpolo...Hmm...How about Berindt Saumpolo? Raechik: I like it. Kreia: So. What do you want to do now? Raechik: Well I don't... I don't... I... Raechik fell over. Kreia: {gasp} Raechik! Raechik Are you ok?! Nurse!!! The nurse came in the room. Nurse: Yes? Kreia: Its Raechik!! Nurse: Who? Kreia: He is on the ground! Nurse: Oh my! The nurse picked Raechik up and layed him on the bed next to Kreia. The baby sarted to cry. Kreia: The spell!! Nurse: What? Rondoa walked in. Rondoa: I gave her the ability to cast magic spells. That is all you need to know. Nurse: Y-yes s-sir. The nurse ran out of the room. Rondoa: Kreia, You tried to hard last time. If you were to do it the same way you would have killed him, so instead I will perform the spell. Rondoa created a large light orb and put it in Raechik's body. Raechik took in a deep breath and woke up. Rondoa: Now he should live his full life span. Which will end in about fifty years. Kreia: Thank you. I don't know what to do, but someday I will repay you. Rondoa: There is no need. I am an immortal god. It would not harm me at all. Kreia smiled. Kreia: Thank you Rondoa for saving my husband. Rondoa: Eh. I'll take it. You're welcome Kreia. Rondoa exited the room. A day later They were walking along the road to the market. Kreia: So as I was going to get a bucket the baby started to cry again. And then I had to carry them both to the bathroom with me. Yhen as I was.. A guy walked up to Kreia. ???: Stop where you are. He pulls out a knife. ???: Give me your money and you won't get hurt. Raechik: Oh really? Then I think you should leave before you get hurt. Kreia: Ooooohh. Good one honey. The man lunged at Kreia and Raechik jumped in between them and the man stabbed him. Raechik: {Coughs up blood} Guh... Raechik falls over on the ground and the man starts to panick. ???: Oh shit shit shit shit shit shit!! This wasn't supposed to happen. God damn it to fucking hell... A whole two minutes later... ???: ...Mother fuckin bitch!! Kreia: Hey!! You shouldn't have done that... He has already died... Twice! And I'm getting fucking fed up with this shit!!! {grumble} If either of my big brothers were here They would have both ripped you to shreds!!!!! ???: Ok, listen bitch!! No one and I repeat, NO ONE tells Tumba Vientorau what to fucking do!!! Kreia: Wait, what did you just call me?!?! Tumba: You heard me bitch I said 'bitch'! Kreia: Once I find Averin he will mount your ass on a wall!!! Tumba took a deep breath then stopped before he said anything. Tumba: ...Wait. What did you say? Kreia: You heard me asshole!! My big brother, Averin Will mount your ass on a fucking wall!!! Tumba: Thats... What I thought you said... Kreia: Oh! Whats wrong you scared? Tumba slapped Kreia Really hard. Tumba: Kreia! Stop yelling!! Kreia: Oh, mother fucker you did not just... Wait what did you call me? Tumba: I have been lokking for you for a whole year! Kreia: Wh-what? Tumba: Its me, Tumba! Kreia: ........ Tumba: Kreia? Kreia: .......God... Fucking!... DAMN IT!!!! Tumba: What? Kreia: I have been loking for Averin from day one! And now I'm stuck with you! Tumba: Oh my god. Why are you angry? Kreia: Two reasons. #1. You killed my husband!!! And #2. You called me a fucking bitch!!!!!! Tumba: Oh just drop it. Watch this. Tumba flipped Raechik on his back And took the knife out. He clicked the handle and a vial popped out. Tumba: This should help. Tumba Opened the vial and poured it on the stab wound. The stab wound closed and Raechik Woke up. Kreia: Raechik, are you ok? Raechik looked at tumba and attacked him. Raechik: I'll fucking kill you!!!!! Kreia: Raechik. Stop!!!! Raechik stopped his fist right in front of Tumba's face. Raechik: Why? Kreia: Because he's my big brother. Raechik: The fuck?! First he almost kills me and now he's your brother?!?! Kreia: Yes. Tumba: Wow. It really does pass on through sex. Raechik: What the hell did you just say?!?! Tumba: Whoa! I didn't mean to get all offensive, its just that all Vientorau usually get pissed very easily. Averin on the other hand doesn't though.

Back to present day...

Kreia: Then we talked about each other and caught up on whats been happening. Thats how I met Raechik. Averin: Wow, well I better get going. We can catch up on what has been happening later. Kreia: Ok, good luck. Averin walked to the throne room and stood in front of the throne. Voice: Averin... Averin pulled out his claymore. Averin: Whos there? Voice: Its only me, Rondoa. You are needed in another time... Averin: {puts his sword away} What? Rondoa: You were never brought to another realm. You were only brought forward in time. And now I will bring you farther ahead for your assistance is needed. Averin: Wait! What about my friends? My family? Rondoa: I will bring you back here once you are finished with the war. Averin went to the door and opened it. He was in a battle field, Guns were being fired all around him. He turned around but all he saw was a long hallway, the throne room was gone. A man came up to him. ???: Soldier! What is your name? Averin looked around him and then himself. He was human again. He smiled. Averin: Averin Vientorau! ???: Well, Averin welcome to the army! I'm General Rondoa! Averin: Good to finaly meet you! They shook hands. Rondoa: {In Averin's ear} Listen, There are no dragons here any more. They all go exstinct In about three thousand years afetr you die. Averin nodded. Rondoa: Here take this. Its the new Planet Sniper. Rondoa pulls out a seven foot long sniper rifle and hands it to Averin. Averin looks at the gun, puzzled by what Rondoa just gave him. Averin: What the hell is this? Rondoa Explained how to use the sniper rifle and what it was for. Rondoa: And here is some ammo. Rondoa gives Averin a belt with ten, 14 shot clips on it. Averin put the belt on, took one of the clips off, and loaded the sniper rifle. Averin: *Chock-chink* How far of a shot will I get on this? Rondoa: About thirty miles. Averin: *whistle* Damn! Rondoa: Thats what I said when I tested it for the first time! Hahaha! Now, We have three mortar pits, seven tanks, and five snipers that need to be taken down. Averin: challenge accepted. But I have no clue what the fuck any of those things are. Rondoa Took a whole twenty three minutes to explain what each thing was. Averin nodded and then they both walked to the top of the tower they are in. (yes they are in a tower) Rondoa: Take cover here and take out the mortar pits before they spot us. Averin aimed at one of the mortars as it was being loaded and shot the bomb killing everyone in the mortar pit. Averin: *Chock-chink* *Tinktinktink* Dang. I was hoping to destroy the man but then I saw the mortar. *POW* *Chock-chink* *POW* *Chock-chink* *POW* *Chock-chink* Got the second one. Rondoa: Good job now one left to go. A platoon of bomber planes flew over head and the one above where Averin was Opened its bombing doors. Averin: Oh FUCK NO!!!!!! Averin aimed at the underbelly of the cockpit and fired. The bullet went through the bottom of the plane and out the top. passing throught the pilot on the way through. The plane tarted to wobble then plummited down onto the last mortar pit. A few seconds later it exploded and then three of the tanks were left. Averin fired through the tanks as well killing the drivers. Then all that was left was the snipers. As Averin reloaded his rifle a bullet flew through the scope. Averin reacted by pulling out his bow and shooting an arrow where the bullet came from. A few seconds later a body fell from the tower he shot at and another bullet zoomed through his bow. He picked up a desert eagle and shot at the enemy sniper. he missed the first four shots but then he hit the enemy's sniper scope through its side. Averin didn't hesitate, he picked up another scope and switched it with his. A bullet flew through his ear and Averin let out a scream. Averin: Mother fucker!!! Averin aimed at the other sniper then shot him in the arm. He reloaded then shot the enemy's other arm Crippling the sniper. Rondoa: Well done. Now go get yourself cleaned up. You don't want to get an ear infection. Averin: Yes sir. Averin Got out a med kit and bandaged up his ear. He cleaned up the blood and put the med kit away. Averin: Hey General! Rondoa: What? Averin: Is it ok if i just call you Rondoa? Rondoa: Calling me by name is very disrespectful. So I'm going to have to deny that request. Averin: Understood. Averin grabbed the rifle and both of them walked back to the base. Rondoa: So howhave you and Zerein been doing? Averin: We haven't had a single fight yet. Rondoa: That's good to know. Has Tumba found a friend yet? Averin: I haven't even found him yet. Rondoa: Oh. Well then I warped you a little to early. Oh well, you won't be able to get back until this fight is over. Averin: God damn it. I have a child back there, And I cant leave her when she is still an infant. Rondoa: I am sorry but that is the way it is. You have a week to complete your task. Averin: A week...Hmm...Challenge accepted. Consider it done. Rondoa: Thats the spirit! Now, Your assignment is to assassinate these three people. {hands averin three folders} They are the leaders of the enemy nation. And Assassinate means kill them without anyone finding out it was you or even finding you. Averin: ...Is there any explosives I could use? Something that would create a big explosion. Rondoa: C4, TNT, or nitro. Averin: Which is the most destructive? Rondoa: C4. Averin: I'll take it. Rondoa: Ok how much? Averin: Enough to take down a building. Rondoa: Well, I'm not sure that's a good idea. Averin: Doesn't matter, I'll do it one way or another. Rondoa: {very quickly} Ok fine you can have it. {quickly gives five C4 charges to Averin} These are set to five minutes before detonation. So thats how long you will have to get out of the building. Averin: I don't plan on going into any building, I need something that I can throw into a window. Rondoa: Uhmmm...I can set the time limit to ten seconds if you want. Averin: Thats more like it. And I want to keep this gun. {shows Rondoa the desert eagle} Rondoa: Well then grab some ammo for it.

...Two days later...

Averin crawled out of the storage crate and looked at his watch. Averin: Six A.M. Perfect timing. A man with an assault rifle walked up to him. Man:Who the hell are you? Averin: I'm John Rightman, the expert sniper the boss requested. Man: Oh! Why did you come out of the crate though instead of through the door? Averin: I'm an expert sniper, I'm not supposed to be discovered. Man: Damn you're good. Averin: Where is the boss right now? Man: At a meeting with the other bosses. Why? Averin: Because I need to know where my target is. Averin pulled out a pistol with a silencer on it and shoots the guy in the head. Averin: Thanks for the info. Averin took the planet sniper out of the crate And headed out the room and started down the hall. After walking for about a minute he stopped and looked at a heavily guarded door. Averin: Is this where the boss is? The four men guarding it aimed at Averin. Man: Who are you?! Averin: John Rightman. Man: The expert sniper guy we heard about? Averin: Thats the one. Man: {they all lower their weapons} Oh! We're really sorry sir! Averin: Its ok...for now. Just don't expect any special treatment from me. I believe he was expecting me? Man: Yes, he was! Right this way sir. Averin: Thank you. Now could you go get my equipment please? Man: Yes sir. Three of the men left and Averin walked up to the last guy. Man: Its a pleasure to meet you sir. Averin: The pleasure's all mine. Averin pulls out the silenced pistol and shoots the guard in the head. Averin: Two down. Averin walked in the room and the three people stopped arguing. Man1: What is it now? Man2: Who are you? Man3: Wait a minute, Aren't you John Rightman? Averin: No, I'm Averin Vientorau. Head sniper of the rebels. Man1: Guards!! Guards!! Averin pulls out a switch and flips it.

Down the hall...

Man1: Where is his stuff? Man2: In the storage room, He came in a crate. Man3: Wait, Why would he come in a crate instead of through the front door? Man2: I don't know. As they entered the room they heard a high pitch noise coming from the crate Averin came in. As they walked closer to it the crate exploded incinerating all three of them.

Back in the conference Room...

*BOOM* Smoke trailed into the room from down the hall. Averin: They are all dead. Man1: What do you want with us? Averin: I was sent here to kill you so I'm going to kill you. Averin wallks to the door, shuts it then breaks the doorknob off. Averin: I was told to assassinate all three of you but thats not my style. Averin pulled out a C4 charge and started the timer. Then he ran to the window and crashed through it. After the C4 exploded he opened his parachute and landed on a terrace below him. Averin pulled out a short range radio. Averin: Mission accomplished. All three of them are dead. Rondoa: {on the radio} Holy shit! I didn't expect you to finish for onather five days. Averin: Well I'm not exactly finished yet. Averinpulls out the rest of the C4, starts the timers and throws them into four other windows. After they explode Averin shields himself from the falling glass and picks the radio back up. Averin: The building is destroyed. I'm going undercover for now. I'll be back in three days. Rondoa: Damn it Averin. Make it eight hours. Averin: {sigh} Fine. Eight and a half hours later Averin makes it back to the base and Rondoa greets him with a punch to the face. Rondoa: What the hell were you thinking?!?! Averin: Hey I killed my targets and not a single person knows it was me. Rondoa: But seriously! You brought down an entire skyscraper for crying out loud! Averin: Wasn't it the enemy's building? Rondoa: Yes it was. Averin: Then why does it matter? Rondoa opens his mouth but stops before he said anything. Rondoa: You know what? Nevermind. I'll Bring you back to your family tomorrow. Is there anything else that you would like to say. Averin: Yes, I would like to keep this sniper rifle. Rondoa: ...Fine. But you have to keep it hidden from The people there. Averin: Thank you sir. The next day averin got his old weapons back and packed the planet sniper in a large weapon case along with five hundred rounds of ammo. He walked over to Rondoa and rondoa checked the case. Rondoa: Think you got enough ammo? Theres enough ammo here to take down an entire batallion. Averin: Well I need ammo to use it don't I? Rondoa: Well then put the ammo and sniper rifle in sepperate cases. Averin: Ok then. Five minutes later Averin had the ammo and sniper rifle in two cases of the same size. Averin: Ready to go sir. Rondoa: Ok then, I will teleport you to out of sight down the road to the castle. Keep the cases locked and don't let anyone else use it. Averin: I understand sir. Rondoa pointed towards a door and averin walked over to it. Rondoa opened the door and Averin walked through it. He looked at his arms and instead of skin there were scales. He was a half-dragon again. He continued walking and two guards stopped him in front of the gates. Guard: Halt! State your business! Averin put down the two weapon cases and removed his hood. Averin: I am Averin Vientorau, king of this castle. The two guards bowed to Averin and moved out of his way. Averin picked up the cases and walked in. Then Zerein and Kreia both ran up to him and gave him a hug. he dropped the cases and hugged them back. Averin: I missed you both. Kreia: Where did you go? ou disappeared all of a sudden and the wedding was canceled. Averin: Rondoa needed my assistence. Zerein: Wow. Oh, Guess who we found? Averin: That bastard Raechik? Zerein: No! We found Tumba!! Averin: Wow! Where is he? Kreia and Zerein Both looked down. Kreia: Hes not doing to well right now. Averin: Is he in the infirmary? Zerein: Yes. Averin dropped the two cases. Averin: Take these and bring them to my room Kreia. Please help her Zerein. Averin took off towards the infirmary and found his brother laying in a bed. Tumba's skin was a pale white and he was breathing very slowly. Averin: Damn it! What the hell happened to you Tumba? Tumba: Averin?! Tumba sat up. Averin: Tumba! You're ok! Tumba: Actually no I'm not. Averin: ??? Tumba: I got a damn parasite sucking the life out of me. Averin: Where? Tumba raised his arm. Tumba: Here. The doctors could'nt get it off. Averin remebered the parasite from when he was at the war and thought. Averin: Hey. I know how to get rid of these. Guard!! Guard: Yes sir! Averin: Bring me the blacksmith. The guard disappeared and came back with the blacksmith. Blacksmith: Hey, Whats been going on? Averin: You still got that plasmerian? Plasmerian: I'm still here. Averin: Ah! Good timing. Could you please zap this parasite? Plasmerian: Yes. The plasmerian floated over to the parasite and let loose a large amount of electricity into it and the parasite fell t the floor and curled up into a ball and turned to dust. Tumba: How did you know to do that? Averin: I learned it from an old friend. Tumba's color started to return And he even got out of bed. Tumba: Wow! Thanks big bro! Tumba Hugged him. Averin: You're welcome. now I got to go and pt something up in my room. Tumba: {he stopped hugging him} Ohhh. You and Zerein gone get it on huh? Averin: Maybe but I do need to put something away. Tumba: Oh. What is it? Averin: I'm not going to tell you. Tumba: {sigh} Fine. Averin: And if I find out you have it or touched it, I will kill you with it. Tumba: Whoa whoa whoa!! Dude, I'm your little brother. You would really do that to me? Averin: Oh, sorry. A few days at war can do that to you. Tumba: Ok, now if you don't wan me to know anything about then I won't worry about it. Averin: You know what? I'll show it to you, Kreia, and Zerein this afternoon. After Tumba left the room Averin went to his room to find his cases not there. Averin: Where the hell- Tumba walks in carrying both cases. Tumba: You know, Neither of them could carry these. Averin: Wow. I didn't think that they were that heavy. As Averin finishe his sentence Kreia and Zerein walked in. Averin: Well, Would you three like to see what is in theses cases? All three: Yes! Averin opened both the cases and they looked at the items with a puzzled look. Averin: This is a planet sniper sniper rifle. Averin: This is a type of ranged weapon used for taking out targets that are way out of the range of any type of bow. Averin put the gun together and loaded it. *Click* *Chock-chink* Averin: I have only five hundred shots for this. So, it shall be used by me only during a time of great peril. Unless I say otherwise. Am I clear? All three: Yes. Averin: Good. Now I will demonstrate tonight, so meet me in the Gaia Plains. Now Return to what you were doing. I don't want to keep you from whatever it is you were doing. Kreia and Tumba left but Zerein stayed. Averin finished putting the planet sniper away and put both of the cases by his bed. Averin started to walk out but Zerein blocked him. Zerein: Now that you're done how about we have a little fun? Averin: Well I've been disappearing and making you worry. I think I owe you a little something. Zerein smiled and closed the door with her tail. Zerein: I was hoping you'd say that...

In the hallway...

Kreia: So Tumba. What have you been doing since the last time we met? Tumba: Well, being a master forger's apprentice isn't to bad. Kreia: Oh, so what have you made so far. Tumba: A soul gear. Kreia: Thats it? Just a gear? Tumba: Well Its not easy to make one at all. It takes a full month to process the metal, another month to make the mold, and then yet another month to melt the metal! Kreia: Three months for a tiny piece of metal. If its so hard to make then why is it even made? Tumba: To power the machines of course. It's something that spins on its own, and we use that to spin the other gears in a machine without having to use man power. Kreia: Ah. I see. Well I've got a favor to ask. Tumba: What kind of favor? Kreia: Well, when you attacked me and Raechik... Tumba: When we first met. Kreia: Yeah. I felt like...like I was defenseless. Tumba: Ok. And what do you want to do about that? Be your body guard? Kreia: No. Would tou please make me a weapon? Tumba: Why don't you just go ask the blacksmith to do that for you? Kreia: Because, one, Averin wouldn't let me weild a wepon at all. Two, I nedd something that can be thrown underwater. Tumba: Ah! Well Why didn't you say so? I've got the blueprints for a blade-toothed gear I was going to make for a part of my battle machine. It will work perfectly. Kreia: Could you make a single large one? Tumba: Yes, I can. I'll Have it to you in three days time. Kreia: Wow. You beat the blacksmith by a full two days. Tumba: Well He hasn't learned from Master Ponkaro. Kreia: Who's that? Tumba: Master Ponkaro? Why she is the head of the master forgers! Kreia: Wait a minute...Did you become her apprentice just so that you could be near her? Tumba: What? No! She's fifty seven years old! Kreia: Oh. Ok then. Kreia ran down the hall to the dining hall. Tumba took out the blueprints for the blade-toothed gear and looked at them. Tumba: Three days... I will finish it in two! Later that night Zerein and Averin came out of their room. Averin: Why don't you go get the other two and all three of you meet me in Gaia plains. Zerein: Ok love. Zerein went down the hall and once she was out of sight averin went to the side of his bed and got the planet sniper out. He put it together half way and tied the two pieces together. He grabbed a clip and put it in his cloak then shut bothe the cases and locked them. He walked out of his room and headed to the castle gates. When he got to the castle gates Three Guards were trying to hold back Orpius. Averin: Hey! What the hell is going on! Guard1: This Half-dragon came asking for you. Orpius: Averin! I've got urgent news! Averin: Guards, let him in. The guards let go of Orpius and Orpius ran up to Averin. Orpius: The Shadow Crawler kingdom attacked the river colony! We tried to stop them but then a bunch of orcs came out of nowhere and joined in the fight! Averin: {sigh} Great, just great...Listen, I will help but you must not interfere. Orpius: Yes sir! Averin: Guards! Send a battalion to the river colony to fight off the Shadow Crawlers. If I find out any of the soldiers attacked the Half-dragons there I will Execute them. Guard: Yes sir! The guards all formed ranks and headed out. Averin continued towards Gaia plains. When He got to Gaia plains the moon was high in the sky. Averin: Full moon... Zerein: Hey love. Kreia: Where you been? Tumba: Bout time! Averin smiled and got out the planet sniper. He finished putting it together and loaded it. *Click* *Chock-chink* He looked through his scope and spotted a small baby dragon and its mother sleeping soundly and then aimed to the side of them at an approaching blood tusk. Averin pointed towards the two dragons. Averin: See those two dragons? Look beside them. All three saw the blood tusk. Kreai: Oh no! they won't make it! Averin: Keep watching. The blood tusk leped at the two dragons and Averin fired. Tumba, Zerein, and Kreia jumped at the sound and a tenth of a second later the blood tusk flew backwards and landed five feet away from the sleeping dragons and the mother dragon woke up. She hissed at the dead body then went back to sleep. Tumba: Damn!! I've never seen anything do that to a blood tusk Before. Averin: Hehe. Well This gun can do that to a full blown dragon thirty miles away. And that blood tusk wasn't even a full mile away. Kreia: Wow. You think thats deadly enough? Averin: Yes. Yes I do. {looks through scope} Averin searched the field until he saw an Aqueian walking next to a river holding a baby Aqueian in its arms. Averin: Hey Kreia. Didnt you say you had a child? Kreia: Yes. Averin: Did Raechik Take the child with him? Kreia: Well Berindt wasn't in the nursery when I got back, so I'm guessing he did. Averin Gives her the scope. Averin: Look at the edge of that river. Kreia looked through the scope and saw the Aqueian. Kreia: ...Son of a bitch. Hes right there! Shoot him. Shoot him now! Averin took the scope from Kreia and put it back on the planet sniper. He looked through the scope and shot right in front of the Aqueian. The Aqueian stopped walking and Averin shot in front of it again. The Aqueian looked at where it heard the gunshot come from and saw Averin. Averin put the planet sniper down, took his cloak off, and flew over to the Aqueian. ???: What...What do you want? Averin: Are you Raechik Saumpolo? ???: Yes. Why do you want to know? Averin: Because thats my nephew you're holding. Raechik: ...Wh-what?? Averin: Still don't know? Then this might help. Do you know who Kreia Vientorau is? Raechik: {gasp} You know where she is?! Where is she?! Averin: You're nothing like how she described you... Raechik: What do you mean? Averin: You know what? I'll bring you to her right now. Raechik: What?! Where is she? Averin: Shes up ont that hill. {points towards Kreia} And as for me, I'm her brother. Raechik: Well its very nice to meet you. Averin grabbed raechik and flew over to where the others were. Kreia: What tthe hell Averin?!?! Why did you bring him over here?!?! Averin slapped Kreai and she stopped. Kreia: ...Ow... Averin: Kreia, stop acting like a bitch. Now by what you said he abandoned you in the quarry. But after I asked him if he knew who you were he got all excited. Now Raechik, what do you remember from the day you sold Kreia to the quarry? Raechik: ...That day was the worst day of my life...It started when I woke up to The sound of musical instruments. I went to check it out and when I got there something took control of my body and the music stopped. After that whatever was controlling me had left but when we came up to the quarry it took over my body again... Kreia: And thats what happened. This entire time I thought That you did that on purpose. Kreia Tried to hug him but Raechik forced her away from him. Raechik: No! Don't! It still takes control of my body sometimes. Here take Berindt. Raechik gave Kreia the baby and backed up. Raechik: I have been staying here so that I don't harm anyone. It has been hard but...Run...Run! Raechick's eyes turned dark red and he grabbed Averin's scythe. Raechik: This isn't me! This Isn't-Quiet!! Raechik's voice got deeper. Raechik: Finally. I have been trying to hunt you down for a long time Kreia. Kreia: Wh-what do you... Averin stepped in front of Kreia. Averin: If you put her in the quarry then why have you been trying to hunt her down? Averin grabbed the scythe and Raechik kicked him. Averin slid backwards then pointed at Raechik with the sniper rifle. Averin: I really don't want to kill my little sister's Husband. Raechik Jumped up and came down on Kreia. Averin pulled out his claymorre and blocked him. Raechik: Get out of the way!! Averin took the scythe from Raechik and pinned him to the ground. Raechik: I command you to let me go immediately!!! Averin: Sorry but I'm the only one who gives commands in this kingdom. Tumba do You have anything that can put him to sleep? Tumba pulled out his medical knife and a small vial. he put the vial in the knife, clicked the handle, then poked Raechik with the tip. Raechik: Why you, I will kill...you...for... Raechik fell asleep and averin got up. Tumba tied Raechik up and picked him up . Kreia: Raechik...Whats happened to you? They all headed back to the castle. An hour later Raechik Woke up. His eyes were still red but it was him talking. Raechik: I was afraid something like this would happen. Kreia: Its ok Raechik. It isn't your fault. Raechik sat up. Kreia: Its ok, I cast a spell to hold it back. Raechik: How long will it last? Kreia: Well its a strong spell so it should last a few days. Raechik: Its good to see you again. Kreia: Same here. But it seems that whoever did this is a really strong warlock. Raechik: {deep voice} What did you do to me?! Averin: how bout you go back to sleep Sindaio. Raechik: {deep voice} Why do you keep me here?! Kreia: Because all members of the ientorau get pissed very easily. And you have tread into the wrong territory. Raechik: {deep voice} I will kill you!! Rondoa walks in. Rondoa: No you won't. Sindaio Toropa, the exhiled Warlock of the Shadow Crawler kingdom. I know everything about you but one thing. Why did you attack Kreia and not Averin. Raechik' s eyes returned to normal. Raechik: Why is he not responding? Averin: My guess is he likes Kreia. But he doesn't know how to express his feelings for her. Kreia: Hey! That's your little sister you're talking about! Averin: Hehehe. Kreia punches Averin in the jaw. Averin: God damn!! You can hit hard! Kreia: Joking like that isn't funny. Raechik's eyes turned red again Raechik: {deep voice} No. He's right... Averin: I-I am?! Raechik: {deep voice} I was originally trying to actually kill her. But then I couldn't stop thiking about you. Soon afterwards I accepted the fact that I love you. But You already love someone else. Kreia: Sindaio, listen You and I can't be together. One, you tried to kill me. Two, you put me in a quarry to work as their personal slave...But...If you promise not to hurt me and leave Raechik's body, Then we might be friends. Raechik: {deep voice} If the best that I will get out of it is being friends, then I'll take it. Raechik's eyes changed back to normal. Kreia: Raechik? Raechik: Yes? Kreia: Where did Sindaio go? Sindaio: {from behind them} Right here. Krreia: Well, If you keep your promise then the answer is yes. Sindaio: I shall keep my promise and also serve this kingdom. Sindaio bows to Averin. Averin: The first mistake you make I will personally kill you. Sindaio: I understand every word my leige. Averin: Good. You can release Raechik now Kreia. Kreia: Oh right! Osuolor! Raechik got out of bed and hugged Kreia. Raechik: It feels good to hug you again Kreia. Kreia hugged him back. Kreia: Same here. Tumba walked in holding a silver blade-toothed gear. Kreia: Wow...Not even a day. Tumba: Yup. And unless you're underwater it will be heavy. Kreia: well thanks alot but now Averin knows. Averin: Oh I knew from the beginning. You shouldn't talk right outside my door. Kreia: So you're letting me keep it? Averin: Yeah. You'll need it when you're alone. Kreia: Thanks Averin. Raechik: Hey Kreia. Kreia: Yes? Raechik: The warmtides are in two weeks. Kreia: Really?! Averin: I know what that means. Tumba: What? Whats going on? Averin: Hahaha! Its funny how you don't know. Well anyways, how long might you two be gone? Kreia: Its going to be a month before we come back if we leave today. Averin: Do you want to leave today? Kreia: Yes. Averin: Well then, Rondoa Would you please escort them to the ocean? Rondoa: Well I don't see why not. Kreia and Raechik: Yay! Rondoa left the room and Kreia and Raechik followed. Averin: So. You got a Girlfriend yet? Tumba: {sigh} No. Averin: Haha!! Sucks to be you! Tumba punched averin in the jaw just as hard as Kreia did And walked out of the room. Averin: {mumble} Tumba stopped walking when a guard came up to him. Guard: Sir. A letter came for you. The guard gives the letter to Tumba. The guard left and Tumba openedthe letter. Dear Tumba, I don't know how to say this, but I will not be in this world for much longer. I write this to my best student as a will. You get my tools and work area, and also someone has to take my place as haed forging master. I know you haven't finished your training but then again neither did I. And look at me now! Hehe...Good bye Tumba. Head Forging Master Ponkaro Tumba: Damn... He quickly folded up the letter and put it away then headed towards the stables. When he got there a guard stopped him. Guard: What is your business here sir? Tumba: I need to get to the northern colony now! Guard: Yes sir! The guard stepped out of the way and Tumba ran in and grabbed a saddle. He turned around and put the saddle on a black horse Then mounted it. The horse neighed at the amount of weight that was put on its back and stood on its back legs. Tumba: Whoa boy! The horse calmed down and then ran forward. Three hours later they were almost to the gates of the northern colony then the horse started to slow down then stopped. Tumba got down and the horse fell over, panting from the long ride. Tumba ran to the open gates and then to Ponkaro's hut. But as he got there he was to late, she had already passed away and they were taking her to the burrial grounds. Tumba: Wait! The people carying her stopped and Tumba took off his apprentices' gear neckalace then placed it in her hands. A tear ran down his cheak and he backed away. Forge Master: I'm sorry Tumba, but no matter how hard you try you can't take her place. Tumba took the letter out and gave it to the forge master. Tumba: I believe that if she says I am then I take her place. Tumba walked into Ponkaro's hut and shut the door. The forge master looked at the letter, gave out a sigh, then folded it back up. Forge Master: I guess he did make it... Tumbalooked around the hut that was his new home and he got to work. A few days later he came out of the hut holding a bunch of blueprints under his arm and a forge master stopped him. Tumba: Do not disturb me Riggin. Forge Master Riggin: I only came to give you your letter back. Others were trying to burn it or rip it up. Tumba: {takes letter} Thanks Riggin. Tumba continued walking to the forge factory. When he got there Another forge master stopped him. Tumba: What? Forge Master: I'm sorry but only forge masters are aloud in here Tumba. The forge master shut and lock the door. Tumba took the letter out and recited the spell imbedded in the seal. A black band of letters formed around his right wrist and he held it up to the door. The door opened up and th forge master was still there. Tumba: Disrespecting the head forge master. You are stripped of rank. The forge master's clothes changed from elegant robes to peasant clothes. Tumba walked in and the former forge master left. Three days later Tumba came out holding a large wrench (Five feet tall). Tumba: I am the new head forge master. And I shall from now on command this colony. But I shall leave control to Riggin while I am gone. And this! {holds up his right arm, showing the black band} This shows that I am! And even though I must help this colony, I must leave. So Riggin, as second highest ranked forger in this colony. Will you stay and take over while I am gone? Forge Master Riggin: Yes. I will. Tumba: Thank you old friend. May we meet again soon. Tumba left the colony and stood outside the gates. Tumba: Farewell my people I shall return, someday. Tumba mounted the horse that was outside and he traveled to the mountain colony for a rest. He dismounted the horse and tied it to a post outside the gates. Tumba: What now? Guard: Excuse me? Tumba: Oh sorry. I was speaking to my self. Guard: Wait...Are you from the northern colony? Tumba: Yes. How did you know? Guard: The giant wrench. We heard what happened. Tumba: ... Guard: Here. Take this money. Its enough to buy you a room for the night. The guard gives Tumba a pouch of money. Tumba: Why are you helping me? The guard pulls his neckalace out and on it was an apprentices' gear. Tumba: A fellow forger. Thank you. Tumba entered the gates and headed to the nearest inn. On his way there a woman ran into him got back up and continued running. She was being followed by three men. Tumba: Hey! You three. Man1: {stops running} What do you want? Tumba: First, you better watch it. Second, why are you chasing after that woman? Man2: She stabbed me in the god damn foot! Tumba: Let me guess. You grabbed one of her breasts didn't you? Man2: Well if she put them in front of me Then I- Tumba Wacked him with the wrench. Man2: Mother fucker!! Get em boys! The two others ran after Tumba with knives. Tumba grabbed one of the two and hit the other in the head with his wrench. Tumba: Mistake number one! You pissed me off. Man2: Like it matters. Tumba: You never, piss of, a member, of the Vientorau family! The three men stopped rushing Tumba and backed up. Tumba: Now! If you value your lives then leave! Man1: Y-yes s-sir. All three of them ran the opposite direction and the woman came up to Tumba. Tumba turned around and jumped. Tumba: Ah! God damn it. You should be more careful. Next time ask someone else to stab someone for you. ???: Hehehe. That might actually work. Well thanks anyways. Tumba: Hey what's your name? ???: Sohta Kobonu. The woman walked away. Tumba: Damn. Playing hard to get? Tumba headed towards the inn, bought a room, and went to bed. In the morning he woke u to chirping of birds and the smell of the sweet morning dew. He got and got dressed then headed out the inn but when he opened the door Sohta was standing outside. Sohta: {smiling} Hello again stranger. She walked in and upstairs. Tumba: Fuuuuck!! She did it again! Tumba walked out of the inn and headed towards the market and there she was again at one of the stalls. Tumba: Hey Sohta. How the hell do you get arround so fast? Sohta: I'm sorry. Have we met before? Tumba: Yes! Twice! Sohta: Oooohhh. Hold on. Sohta pulled a gem from Her robes and Tumba saw what she was wearing for the first time. She had a black and red robe, a black shirt, black pants, and a round pointed hat. She looked just like a witch. Tumba: Uhm. Are you a witch? Sohta: {happy tone} Only if you piss me off. The gem glowed for a few seconds and then a copy of her walked out of the inn and another came out of the bar, running. The same three men were chasing her. Tumba stepped up to them and they ran back into the bar. Tumba: Care to explain? Sohta: I split my mind three ways. I am happiness, The one that came out of the inn iscourage, and the one that came out of the bar is anger. Tumba: That explains why those three keep chasing her. The gem glowed bright once more then all three Sohtas formed into one. Sohta: {clenching head} Nng. Thats better. Now it seems you saved anger and just crossed paths with courage. She put the gem back in her robes. Tumba: So why did you do that in the first place? Sohta: I was testing a new spell. And it seems to have worked. Tumba: Well it sure di because there were three of you. Sohta: Well being how you saved me, twice. I think I owe you a date. Tumba: Wait.. I... Uh.............What?? Sohta: {giggle} meet me at the Angry Blood Tusk tonight. I'l be waiting outside in green and blue robes. Tumba: But you don't even know my name! Sohta: Tumba Vientorau. Sohta Walks away down the street. Tumba: What the hell just happened?? Tumba walked to the gates and got on the horse. He then rode to the castle anddismounted the horse. Averin was waiting outside the ates. Averin: Where the hell have you been? Tumba Showed Averin the letter. Averin: Oh, well did anything else happen. Tumba: Yes but I have no clue what the hell just happened. Averin: Uhhhhhh... Tumba: This hot woman is being chased by three men, I saved her. Then this morning when I came out of the inn there she was again. And when I headed to the market, there she was again! Then she sayed that she split herself into three. Then she reformed herself into one. Averin: And then what happened? Tumba: I don't no man!! Averin slapped Tumba in the face. Averin: Shes hot, she likes you, just go for it! Tumba: But I don't even know where the Angry Blood Tusk is at all. Averin: ...Thats all the way in the mountain colony. How did you manage that? Tumba: I didn't! Sohta did! Averin: So her names Sohta? Tumba: Yes. and I don't know what to wear. Averin thought for a second. Averin: Lets try this. Averin ripped the sleeves off of Tumbas shirt and took his small wrench and medical knife. Tumba: What the hell?!?! Averin: Trust me, she'll like it. Tumba: But you ripped the sleeves off of my shirt! Averin: Tumba, you've got a muscle mass double that of mine! Tumba: ...You're right . I do don't I? Averin: Now go get her. Tumba: I will! Tumba disappeared into a cloud of smoke. Averin: Uhhh...I suppose he planned that. Tumba appeared in front of the Angry Blood Tusk. Sohta walked up to him. Sohta: You're late. Not lazy late, but hot late. Tumba: Oohh. Why are you so confusing?! Sohta: {giggle} So cute! Come on. Sohta grabbed his hand and lead him inside to a small round table. They had dinner together and they both met outside. Tumba: {laughing} Man. I've never seen anyone do that before. Sohta: {laughing} Neither have I. Who knew it was possible to blow grits out of your own nose? Tumba: Whew. Man, I have not had a laugh like that in years! Sohta: Well I had a great night. So you want to come hang over at my house or no? Tumba: Sure. Sohta: Yay! Omeh! The both teleported to a small house somewhere in the woods. Tumba: Whoa! Hang on. Where are we? Sohta: The direct center of the eastern forest. Tumba: Uh... Sohta: I know not a good place to put a house. Tumba: Oooookaaay. Both walked into the house and the door shut behind them. Sohta sat down on a love seat. Sohta: Why don't you come sit with me? Tumba sat down next to her and she snuggled up to him. Tumba put his arm around her and she looked at him. Sohta: So you do like me! Tumba: Well yeah. You're unpredictable. colorful, and you- Sohta kissed him. She wasn't wearing her robe anymore. Tumba: Wow you look hotter without your robes on. Sohta: Thank you. They continued kissing and then Sohta Unbuttoned Tumba's pants. Tumba: Its only the first date and you're already trying to get in my pants. Sohta got up and walked to her beroom door upstairs. Sohta: You coming or not? Tumba followed her to her bed and they both layed down. Tumba woke up first and sat up. He looked around and saw Sohta asleep beside him. He reached a hand oer to wake her up. Tumba: Sohta...Sohta... Sohta: {yawn} Good morning Tumba. Tumba: Good morning. I will make us something to eat. Sohta: Ok. Tumba got out of bed and got his clothes on then walked down to the kitchen. He looked through the cabinets for a skillet. Tumba: Spices...Medicine...Towels... {a lizard jumps out of the cabinet} Ah!! Tumba picks the lizard up and off of him. Tumba: Where did you come from? The lizard curled up into a ball. Sohta: He's my pet. Tumba turned around and Sohta was wearing blue clothes and blue and white robes. Her white hair draped down past her shoulders, she wasn't wearing a hat. Tumba: Wow! You look beautiful. Sohta: Thank you. Come see Besle. The lizard unrolled itself and crawled up Sohta's leg to her shoulder. Sohta: Good morning my little blue friend. Sohta out a knife from her robes and the lizard bit a piece of it off then she put it back away. Sohta: He's a baby metalius. Tumba: Just as long as he doesn't eat my wrench, I'm fine. Sohta: He only eats what I give him. Tumba: Oh. Where are the pots? Sohta: I'm a witch Tumba. I don't need any pots. Tumba: Well I just thought that maybe I could make breakfast for us. Sohta: Don't worry about it. Go Besle. The lizard jumped down from Sohta's shoulder and crwaled into a crack in the floor. Sohta: Lets go. Sohta walked out the door and Tumba followed. When he stepped outside he was at the market in the mountain colony. Sohta: So what do you want to do now? Tumba: Would you like to come with me to High Soaring Castle? Sohta: Sure. Tumba: Ok, then we can take a horse at the gate. They both walked to the gate and got on a horse. They headed to the castle. Sohta: You deal with machines right? Tumba: Yeah. Sohta: Could you stop for a minute? Tumba stopped the horse in the middle of the road. Sohta: My dad used to be a forger like you. Sohta got off the horse. Tumba: What are you doing? Sohta: Watch. She pulled a small metal figure made of tiny gears from her robes and threw it into the field. Tumba: Why did you do that? Sohta got on the horse. Sohta: Get down before he wakes up. Tumba: {getting down} Who? Sohta smiled then galloped off down the road. Tumba sighed and turned around and saw a horse made of metal gears walking towards him. It stopped and all signs of movement in the mechanism stopped. Tumba: Think Tumba. Why did it stop? He pulled out his soul gear and a piece of metal on the horse's head moved revealing a slot in the shape of a gear. Tumba put the gear next to the hole, it was just the right size. Tumba put the gear in place and the horse neighed in acceptence. Tumba: Lets see what you can do. Tumba got on the horse and the gears shifted places as the horse changed into a flying machine that hovered above the ground now. The machine had the soulgear in the dead center, two wings in the front and the legplates turned into a turbine that rested at the back. Tumba: Voice command initate. *clink* Tumba: Switch to manual operation. *chink* Tumba grabbed the two handles and tested the controls. Left, right, forward, back, up, and down. He recalled his training with a machine similar to this. But this one looked like a newer design. He put it in flight instead of hover and blasted off after Sohta. After a minute had passed he finally caught up to Sohta. Tumba: Hey, why did you leave me back there? Sohta snapped her fingers and the horse transformed into a hellfire stallion and she increased speed. Sohta: Race ya! Tumba: You're on! Tumba pulled back on the handles then shifted gears with his foot and he increased speed too. Three minutes later the castle was in sight and both were going head to head. They both slowed to a stop and then both rides turned back into horses. Tumba: Damn! Who made this thing? Sohta: My dad made it. Tumba: Who is your dad? Sohta: He was Head Forge Master Ponkoro's wife. Tumba: You're the daughter of Ponkoro?! Sohta slapped Tumba across the face. Sohta: Don't ever call her Ponkoro!! Tumba: Whoa whoa. Hey, she left me her will and in it she said that I take her place as Head Forge Master. I was even her last apprentice, so its ok for me to call her Ponkoro. Sohta looked at him then at his wrist. Sohta: It's true...You are. Tumba: Yes. Now come on you should meet my family. Tumba got down of the mechanical stallion and helped Sohta off the horse. When Tumba got to the gates Averin, Kreia, Raechik, and Zerein were waiting outside. Averin: Hey look who's here. Kreia: Hey Tumba! Zerein: Whats that thing he just got off of? Raechik: Who is he with? {no one heard} Tumba: Hey everyone. Averin: So did it work? Tumba: Did what work? Averin: I guess not. Well tonight we get you a girlfriend. Sohta: Whats he talking about? Tumba: I really do not know. Sohta: Well anyways, I'll be in the dining hall. Sohta disappeared into a cloud of smoke. Kreia: So Tumba. What is that? {points to the machine} Tumba: Oh. This is a mechanius stallion version 3.7.1. Kreia: What does it do? Tumba: Its ahorse Kreia. They don't do much. Kreia: Not what I meant. Tumba: Hey Kreia, why aren't you and Raechik chilling in the sea? Raechik: Because there was a massive hurricane that was passing over where I live. So We decided to go in a week. Tumba: Oh. Averin: So anything new? Tumba: Yes. Two things, one I became Head Forging Master. And two my master passed away. Averin: And nothing else? Tumba: Mmmm nope. Averin: Well ok then. Later in the dining hall Tumba sat down next to Sohta and they talked for a bit. After Sohta finished eating she got up and walked out, passing by a large man. Man: Hey cutey, why don't you come sit with me? Sohta: Uh, no. She continued walking and the man grabbed her arm tight. Sohta: Either let go of my arm or I'll make you. Man: Haha! A little feisty aren't you? Tumba: Hey. I wouldn't do that if I were you. Man: What will happen? Is she going to bite me? Sohta: No. But I'll sure as hell burn your face off. She conjured up a fireball and shoved it in the man's face. the man let go of her arm and put them to his face, screaming. Sohta walked out and Tumba soon followed. As Averin and Kreia were talking Tumba and Sohta walk past them, talking to each other. Averin: So is it cold when... {sees Tumba and Sohta} Kreia turns and sees Tumba and Sohta too. Kreia: You see what I see? Averin: Wow she is hot. Tumba: Would it be possible for me to learn spells? Sohta: You know I think it might work. Averin: Hey Tumba! Tumba: Yes? Averin: Who's she? Tumba: She's my fiance. Averin: So you did find someone. Tumba: Wasn't it obvious when we came up to the front gates? Averin: Well I thought you two were just friends. Sohta: Way more than friends. Ooh. I know this really beautiful place that we could go hang out for a while to kill some time. Tumba: Where? Sohta: If I remember correctly its somewheres in the black surge forest. Tumba: But no one has ever come out alive. Sohta: Thats because they fall in love with one of the witches and never leave. Tumba: Well then what are we waiting for? Sohta: You up for another race? This time we go feral. Sohta ran and jumped in the air. Purple flames washed over her body and she turned into a large purple blood tusk then ran towards the mountains. Tuba hurried up and got on the machine. Tumba: Full body arming activate. The machine shifted over his body and turned into a metal blood tusk. Tumba took control and ran after Sohta. He soon caught up to her and she spit a fireball at him. He responded with a swipe of his large metal paw. Sohta dodged it then dashed ahead of him and into the black surge forest then stopped. Sohta: I win. Tumba: Dang! well where to know? Tumba got out of the machine and it changed back into a horse. Sohta changed back and headed further into the forest. They came up to a small clearing with a soft mossy ground and Sohta sat down. Tumba sat down next to her. and looked around. Tumba: Wow. You were right. It is beautiful. He turned towards Sohta and she had already taken her shirt off. Sohta: So you want to get busy or what? Tumba: Answer me this first. Do you really love me? Sohta cuddled up to Tumba. Sohta: Yes. Tumba Grabbed her breasts and they locked lips. Three hours later they made it back to the castle. Tumba: Twice in less than a day. Sohta: What can I say you feel great. Tumba: So About those spells... Sohta: Hmm. Well, we've already had sex twice so you should be able to cast a few small spells. Tumba: Well I've got just one in mind. Alchemy. Sohta: Hm. The transmutation of one element into another Through the use of a magic circle. How about I Just give you this. Sohta took a tiny booklet out of her robes and it grew three times as thick and wide. Sohta: E Biblio, Alchemeia. The book, alchemy. All you have to do is make something that you can wear, put a circle on it, and you should be able to do alchemy depending on what circle you choose. Tumba: This will come in handy when I need materials. Thank you. Sohta: I'm glad you like it. When they walked in the courtyard was filled with people. Tumba lifted Sohta up onto his shoulder. Tumba: Can you see whats happening? Sohta: Someones getting married. It looks like two Half-dragons. Tumba: That's Averin, my big brothe, and Zerein.They met a while- Sohta: {gasp} Oh my god they are about to kiss! I'm so excited. Tumba felt something wArm and wet on his shoulder. Tumba: Uhhh, Sohta? Sohta: Oh I'm sorry. I just got a little to excited. Tumba puts Sohta down and takes his shirt of showing his large chest muscles and abbs. Sohta: Ohhh I never get tired of that. Tumba: A little to excited is right. Come on. Sohta followed Tumba to his room and when she got inside she closed the door. WhileTumba Was looking for another shirt a sweet aroma caught his attention. Tumba: {sigh} Are you... Sohta: Only when i get excited. Tumba: That explains why you disappeared when we got here. Tumba turns around and Sohta is right in front of him. Sohta: But I actually do love you. Sohta kissed him and put her leg around him. Tumba layed her down on the bed. An hour later they both came out of his room and Tumba was wear a skin tight black shirt with long sleeves. Sohta: Wow. Much better. Tumba: Well I can't keep doing this for you every time I turn around. Sohta: Ok, 'll try not to get excited to quickly.

A month later... Tumba and Sohta came out of his room. Tumba: Twenty seven. Twenty seven times this month you have gotten "excited". Sohta: Well I can't help it. Tumba: Well either you control yourself or find someone else. Because you are keeping me away from the northern colony and I am supposed to lead them. Not sit around having sex all day. Sohta: But... Tumba: No. If you can't go the next few days without getting "excited" then we're through. Tumba left her in the hall alone. Sohta went into his bedroom and cryed for the next hour. After, she got up and walked out of the room and to the dining hall. She got a cup of bloodberry teaand sat down. She took a sip of her tea and when she put the cup down Besle was there in front of her. Sohta: Besle! How'd you find me? Besle flicked his tongue and wagged his tail. Sohta: Ohh, I'm just so excited I would get you a nice size chunk of iron! Come on. lets go finda horse shoe. Sohta picked up Besle and she went to the stables. She found an old rusty horse shoe and melted it into a chunk of iron using a fireball. She gave it to Besle and he happily ate it. Kreia came up to her holding a book of a Thousand recipes for cooked fish. Kreia: Hey Sohta. Would you like to come to the winter banquet with us? Sohta: Really?! Sure! Is there going to be any blood tusk meat? Kreia: Yes. Sohta: Yes! Kreia: Excited much? Sohta: Yes! Kreia: Wow... Kreia walked away and Sohta ran off to find Tumba. After searching for a few minutes she found him napping on The ground in the shade. Sohta: Hey Tumba! Tumba: {groans} Not even a day. Sohta: The Winter banquet is tonight and I'm so excited! Tumba: Are you atleast controlling it? Sohta: Well actually now that I think about it, I haven't Been having that feeling when I get excited and I even.........Oohhhhh. Tumba: What? Sohta: I will be back in a few minutes. Sohta Ran off towards the Infirmary. Tumba: Question mark? Tumba layed back down and when he was just about to doze off... Sohta: Uhm. Tumba. Tumba sat up. Sohta: I just got back from the infirmary and... Tumba: And what? Sohta: Well, I have bad news and good news. Tumba: Good news first. Sohta: I can get as excited as I want and you don't have to "calm" me down. Tumba: Ok. And whats the bad news? Sohta: ...I'm pregnant. Tumba: Well thats what happens when you have sex frequently. Sohta: You're...not surprised? Tumba: No. In fact I figured this might happen. Sohta: So you planned this? Tumba: What? No! Its just common sense. If anyone were to have sex this frequently Then they would soon have a child too. Sohta: Well, since that is out of the way, you want to go see what your brother is up to? Tumba: Patrolling the north road. Sohta: What about Kreia? Tumba: Shes planning the banquet. Sohta: Oh yeah. What about... Tumba: Sohta, how about we just relax for a little while. I'm really tired from last night. Sohta: I know the perfect place for that. How about we go to the red valley springs? Tumba: Hm...Sure. Sohta: Yay! Tumba: So how do you plan on getting there? Sohta: Like this. Sohta pulled a scroll out of her robes and recited the spell written on it. They both disappeared and reappeared Twenty feet from a small hot spring pool. Sohta began taking her clothes off and Tumba did too. They both Hurried in because of how cold it was in the valley. Tumba: Aaaaahhhhh...This feels great. Sohta: It's so soothing that i don't want to get out. Tumba: I haven't been here in a few months. Sohta: Who did you come with? Tumba: Ponkaro brought me here as a reward for making a soul gear. But because of age purposes I refused to be in the same one as her and then she got mad. Sohta: She always thought that she looked like a hot woman at that age. Tumba: So I guess she just couldn't handle the rejection. Sohta: Yeah... Sohta rested her head on Tumba. Tumba: So when you... He looked at Sohta and she was already asleep. Tumba: Wow. You're tired too. After a few minutes passed Tumba got out of the water and woke Sohta up. Tumba: Come on Sohta. How about we go home? Sohta: Ok. Sohta got out and both hurried and got their clothes back on. Sohta flicked her wrist and they both teleported to Tumba's room. Sohta yawned then layed down on the bed and went to sleep. Tumba did the same. As they were sleeping something passed by their room and Tumba woke up. Tumba: Hey. What do you want? Sohta mumbled in her sleep and something passed by their room again. There were no foot steps. Just a quick swooping sound. Tumba: {whisper} Sohta. Sohta! Wake up. Hurry! Sohta: {mumbles} What? Tumba: {whisper} Ssshhhh. Cast a spell so that nothing can come in the room after I leave. Sohta became wide awake and nodded. Tumba grabbed his wrench and medical knife. Something passed by their room again. Sohta: {inhale} Tumba put his hand over her mouth and put a finger to his lips then got up and silently walked out of the room. He closed the door and it locked itself. Tumba looked down all three halls but there was nothing there and it was night time. He opened up a secret passage that he and Sohta discovered a few nights ago and closed it behind him. Three torches lined each side of the walls. Something passed by the hallway up ahead and Tumba ran after it but when he got there it was nowhere to be seen. Tumba went back into the passage and closed the other side behind him. He was in a hallway that can only be opened from the inside now. Tumba sat down and thought. Tumba: I can't here its foot steps and it moves really fast...Oh no. Sohta! Tumba made it back to the room where he left Sohta and knocked. Tumba: Sohta! Hurry! Open the door! Sohta: What is my mom's name? Tumba: Ponkoro. The door unlocked and opened and Tumba hurried inside. He locked the door and turned towards Sohta. Tumba: We've got a problem. There is a vampire lurking the halls. The door handle started to slowly turn. Guard: Hey you! You're not supposed to be here! The door handle was let go of. Guard: Aahhhhch!!! Sohta Put her hand to her mouth and tears welled up in her eyes. ???: {Ponkoro's voice} Tumba. Sohta. Where are you hiding? Sohta: {whispering} *gasp* It's mom! Tumba Stopped her from getting to the door and put his hand over her mouth then he put his back to the wall and the door swung open. ???: Hisssssss! There was a moment of silence and the vampire walked in. Sohta Cast a silent spell and both her and Tumba turned invisible. The vampire turned around and it was Ponkoro. She had no pupils, Her teeth were twice as long and her nails were three inches long. At that moment Sohta wet herself from fear at what her own mother looked like. Ponkoro: Trying to get away...Good, it's more fun this way. Ponkoro left the room and the door shut behind her.Sohta let go of the spell and Tumba let go of her. Sohta started to cry and Tumba held her close. Tumba: {whisper} Ssshhhh. Don't cry or she might come back. Sohta: *sniff* {whisper} Ok... Tumba broke a leg off of the bed and sharpened it. He gave it to Sohta and broke another off. Tumba: Listen. If she attacks you don't be affraid to kill her. Tumba walked towards the door and Sohta grabbed his arm. Sohta: Wait... Tumba: I must go and warn the others. Sohta took a bottle of water out of her robes. Sohta: Take this and sprinkle some in a door way. She won't be able to pass through it. I already sprinkled some in the door way of this room. Tumba took out an empty vial and filled it with the holy water then put it in the knife. He clicked the handle then went out the door. He went to Averin's room and there were no guards in front. He went in and slowly closed the door. Zerein woke up and covered herself with the blanket. Tumba put a finger to his lips then moved to the side of the door and a shadowed passed by the door. After a full minute passed Tumba nodded towards Averin and Zerein woke him up. Averin: Huh? What? Zerein: Sshhh. {points to Tumba} Averin: {whisper} What are you doing in here?! Tumba: {whisper} There is a vampire lurking the halls. Get dressed and stay quiet. Averin and Zerein both got dressed as Tumba watched the door. Averin: {whisper} Kreia. Tumba nodded and all three slowly made it to Kreia's room. Tumba closed the door and moved out of the way. A shadow passed by The door and they waited. A minute later Kreia came out of the bathroom and stopped when she saw all three of them. Kreia: What did I- Averin rushed over to her and put his hand overmouth. The shadow appeared at the door and stood there for three minutes then disappeared. Kreia: {signing} What was that? Averin: {signing} Vampire. Raechik walked in. Kreia: {signing} Don't speak. There is a vampire outside the room. Raechik: {signing} Come on. I found a secret passage yesterday. Raechik walks to the wall beside a large dresser and turns the hook hanging on it then the door slowly opens and Tumba pushes against it. Ponkoro: I found you! At last. Tumba: Averin, help! Averin pushed against the door and it slowly closed. The wall slid open where Raechik was and they all rushed in. Ponkoro came through the door after them and Tumba hit her backwards with his wrench. Everyone hurried insideand the Wall closed up. They all heard a loud scream and then silence. Tumba: What do we do?! Averin: She will find the spot where this tunnel is open soon and she'll cut us off. So we keep moving. They all ran down the hallway until they came to an opening. The guard waiting outside of it turned towards them and claws went through his chest. The guard fell to the floor and Ponkoro was standing in front of them. Tumba got in front of them and withdrew his knife. Ponkoro: Hahahahaha! You think you can hurt me with that? Tumba: Yes. He rushes after Ponkoro and she throws him across the courtyard. Tumba: Run! Go now! Ponkoro went after him and bit him. Tumba shoved the knife in her head and she let go of him. She screamed a few times while holding her head and then fell over and turned to ash. Tumba got up and put a hand over the bite to keep himself from bleeding to death and stumbled over to Averin then passed out. Averin picked him up and brought him to the infirmary. A few days later he woke up in a pitch black room. Tumba: Where am I?! Nurse: You're in the infirmary. Sohta: Tumba! You're Ok! Something hugs him. Tumba: Why is it dark in here. Nurse: Should you tell him or should I? Sohta: It's best if he hears it from me. Nurse: Ok. Sohta: Tumba. Do you remember what happened the other day? Tumba: Yes. Sohta: Well, We treated the bite before it completely transformed you but the holy water didn't stop all of it. Tumba: Just tell me! Sohta: ...You bit me. Tumba: Oh I'm so sorry.. Sohta: It's ok. You weren't you when you bit me. But I had the bite treated earlier. So I didn't change as much as you did. Nurse: She has just fangs. But you have fangs, claws, and your senses have hightened. But you both change during the night. Tumba: What about blood lust and the sun? Sohta: It does'nt affect me but we're not sure about you. Tumba got up. Nurse: Whoa hey! Take it easy big guy. Tumba felt around to find the door but had no luck.Sohta created a fireball and illuminated the room. Ther wer four archers, ten soldiers, and Averin watching Tumba. Averin: We're twenty feet below ground. There is no door only a ladder. Tumba: Can I please leave? Sohta: Only if I go with you. Sohta got up off the bed and walked towards a ladder, Tumba followed. They both got outside and the warmth of the sun washed over them. Tumba: Hmph...It feels like its hotter outside. Sohta: So it doesn't burn? Tumba: No. Hey Soht. Did you change your pants yet? Sohta: Uh! Tumba! Tumba: What? I'm just picking. Sohta: You scared me when you left. I think you owe me an apology. Sohta snapped her fingers and they teleported to the clearing in Black surge forest. Tumba: Well then what do I have to do to make it up to you? Sohta ran a finger up his chest. Tumba Grabbed her but and she smiled. Sohta: Thats more like it. They kissed and then layed down. Tumba: I still don't see why you are always trying to get in my pants. Sohta: Its love baby. They continue kissing. Raechik walked into Kreia's room and she was feeding the baby. Raechik: Do you want me to take him tonight? Kreia: Sure. Tonight Zerein, Sohta, and I are going to the red valley hot springs with a few other friends. Raechik: So whats the occasion? Raechik takes the baby from Kreia. Kreia: It's girl business. Raechik: Then I don't want to know. Kreia: Well this is something that you would want to know about. But Sohta told me not to say anything yet so I can't tell you anyways. Kreia gave Raechik a kiss then headed out. Kreia: Bye. Raechik: Bye.

Back in the forest...

Sohta woke up and realized that it was night time. She checked her teeth. Her inscisors were twice as long and had a sharp point. She was afraid this might happen. Tumba stirred next to her and got up. Tumba: What happened? Are you ok? Sohta: I'm fine. I'm just scared that no one won't like me. Oh no! I forgot! Tonight me Zerein and Kreia were supposed to go to the red valley hot springs. Sohta quickly got her clothes back on and Tumba did too. Tumba: Hold on. Be quiet for a second. Sohta stopped moving. In the distance Tumba heard laughter and talking. It was Kreia and Zerein. Tumba: {points to his left} Directly that away. Sohta: Thank you so much. Sohta kissed him and then hurried towards the two girls. Tumba started walking in the direction of the castle then stopped. He smelled blood and decay. He listened and not far from where he heard the girls there was a low growl and silent footsteps. Tumba rushed in the diredtion of the beast. When he saw it the blood tusk started torun after towards the three girls. Tumba sprinted after it and tackled it. The three girls saw what was happening and hid in the bushes. Tumba grabbed the blood tusk with his claws and threw it against a large tree. The blood tusk got up and ran after Tumba. He punched the blood tusk in the side of its head and it tumbled to the ground. The blood tusk stopped breathing. Sohta: Tumba! Tumba looked at Sohta and then ran into the forest. Kreia and Zerein came out and walked towards Sohta. Kreia: Sohta. Zerein: What happened to Tumba! Sohta: Averin didn't tell you? Kreia: No. He didn't. Zerein: Explain. Now! Sohta: Tumba was bitten by the vampire. We treated the bite but it was a few minutes afterwards. And...Well...He bit me. Kreia took a step back. Kreia: So You are a vampire? Sohta: Not exactly. Even though the bite was treated almost immediately, it still changed my teeth. Sohta opened her mouthand showed Them her teeth. Sohta: And we both got lucky, we don't have to drink blood. But we still change at night. And as for Tumba, He has claws and his senses have hightened. So if it wasn't for him we'd be dead right now. Kreia: Just as long as he doesn't show up at the hot springs, you'll be fine. Sohta: I'm sure he won't bother us unless something is about to happen. So who all is going to be there? Zerein: All the gypsies cought word and they brought a lot of beer with them. Sohta: So there is going to be alot of people. But don't let me have to many drinks. I don't want to bite anyone. Kreia: Well I don't drink, so I'll keep an eye on you. Sohta: Good. What about entertainment? Zerein: This year we compare our skills. Sohta: In combat? Zerein nodded. Kreia: Yeah, I even brought my blade gear. Zerein: You plan on competing this year? Kreia: Uh huh. So who was the last victor? Zerein: Gorabonna Red Blade. She has been the victor for the past four competitions, twenty years. Kreia: Damn. So have you ever fought her? Zerein: Yes. Three times I fought her, three times I lost the competition. Three more women joined them. Zerein: Oh, Kreia I'd like you to meet Deserei, Jein, And Scilla. Deserei: Hi, I've never seen you before. Jein: Olleh, stuw raey omun? Scilla: {to Jein} U'iork. {to Kreia} Sorry, my sister doesn't speak english. It's nice to meet you Kreia. Kreia: Like wise. Sohta: Jein! S'Weh ti geing nieg? Jein: Otorp deig. Es nithonu won? Sohta: D'I rohtur ten klut taebu ti. Kreia: You know Zerein, I hate it when I can't understand what people are saying. Zerein: I agree, lets go. All six of the girls soon made it to the valley. There was a lot of screaming and shouting. Zerein: What the hell is going on? Zerein flew down to where a lot of people had gathered. Zerein: Hey! Break it up! the fighting stopped and everyone looked at her. Zerein: Where's Gorabonna?! Gorabonna: Zerein? Zerein: There you are. What's going on? Gorabonna: A cute little lizard wandered into the valley and everyone swarmed it. Sohta: Lizard? Besle! Besle struggled out of the shuffling pile of women and crawled up to Sohta's shoulder. One of the women looked at Sohta. Woman: There he is! Everybody was going after Sohta and shewaved a hand in front of her. The people froze in place. Sohta: No one touches my lizard! The entire Crowd got quiet. Kreia: Uhm. Sohta. Sohta: Yes? Kreia: Uh, your fangs. Sohta: Oh no, I forgot! Zerein: Not only that, but I think their longer. sohta letgo of the spell and the people stayed still. She felt her fangs and they really did get longer. Sohta covered her mouth and ran behind a large tree. She felt something tap her shoulder and it was Jein: Sohta. It's ok. Sohta: You speak English?! Jein: Yeah but i didn't want anyone to know so that they would leave me alone. Sohta: Why? Jein moved her hair and revealed a bite mark. Jein: I'm a vampire too. Sohta: But I'm only part vampire. I've only got the fangs. Jein: So your bite was treated. But you were bitten by an undead vampire. When bitten by an undead vampire you change quickly. But if its a living vampire you're more than likely going to be ok for the next day. I just wasn't lucky enough to get treatment for the next few days. So who bit you? Sohta: My fiance, Tumba Vientorau. He was bitten by my mom, Who had died about a month and a half ago. She came searching for me and if it wasn't for tumba I would be blood sucking vampire. Jein: So what about him? Sohta: He was treated after a few minutes. Jein: Is he still alive? Sohta: Yeah. He has the fangs, claws, and senses of a vampire but without the bloodlust. Jein: You know, You can use black magic to the full extent now. Sohta: So thats why you can cast spells! Jein: Yes. Sohta: Thanks Jein. Jein: No problem now come on. An hour later the people were happy and joyful again. Zerein stepped up onto a large rock. Zerein: The competition will start with Gorabonna Red Blade and Kreia Aquablade! Sohta: Ooohhh. Cool name. Gorabonna: Since this is you're first time, you choose the terrain. Kreia: Well we're both aqueians, so underwater. Gorabonna: Ha! Not the smartest one are you? Kreia: When you come out of that water missing an arm, don't you blame me. Kreia flipped the collapsed gear open and hung it around her arm. Gorabonna took out two knives. Gorabonna: You first. Kreia split the gear in two and dove into the water in a torpedo like spining motion. Gorabonna: Show off. Gorabonna Ran and dove into the water. As she decended to the bottom Kreai's blade gear zoom passed her and went back down. Gorabonna threw her knife towards where it came from. For the next minute nothing happened. Gorabonna went down to retrieve the knife then stopped. The water was moving. Kreia lit up her sides and showed that she was spinning in the middle of the lake. Gorabonna: {thinking} How the hell Is she doing that? White wisps extended from the ends of the Gear blade halves and Kreia jetted towards Gorabonna. Gorabonna dodged the attack and Kreia kept on going to the surface. She broke the surface and the jet stream followed her. Kreia turned around and dove back into the lake with a loud splash. She stopped spinning and connected the two bladegear halves then threw it at Gorabonna. Gorabonna didn't have time to move out of the way. Kreia noticed this and stopped the gear with a spell. It stopped three inches away from Gorabonna's head. Kreia retrieved the blade gear and surfaced.She got out of the water and walked towards the table. Kreia: Don't piss me off again.

*flashback*

Gorabonna: Listen new girl. Drop out now before you get your arm broken. Kreia: Ha! You made me laugh. kreia continued walking. Gorabonna: Oh. So you plan on getting embarrased in front of over a- Kreia: Listen now and listen good. I am a member of the Vientorau family. And we get pissed very easily. So if you want to live then stop there. Gorabonna: Ok then bitch you- Kreia: Bitch?! Oh thats it! Kreia pulled out her Blade gear and rushed at Gorabonna. Sohta and Zerein both grabbed her Arms. Zerein: Gorabonna, if you wish to live then get as far away from her as fast as you can, now! Gorabonna: I was gonna leave anyway. Gorabonna left the room.

*end flashback*

Gorabonna came out of the water and jumped at Kreia. Kreia Swung her Blade gear at Gorabonna and slashed her chest open. Kreia wiped off the blood and pulled one of the knives out of her arm. Kreia: You should have listened to Zerein. Kreia Waved a hand over Gorabonna and the gash sealed up. Kreia: Get up. Gorabonna got up off the ground and stood in front of Kreia. Kreia: You're lucky That I can use magic. Gorabonna: If you use magic in a weapons only fight you're disqualified. Kreia: The match is over, it was over when I stopped my blade from cutting through your head. I used magic to save your life, twice. And you are denying every bit of it. Gorabonna stayed quiet. Kreia: Exactly. Get out of my sight, now. Gorabonna left. Sohta walked up to Kreia. She wasfeeling the tip of one of her fangs and it pricked her. Sohta: Ouch. Kreia, I have never seen Gorabonna humiliated before. Kreia: She's a bitch. She needed to learn to respect people. Rondoa came walking through and all the women in the springs covered themselves. Zerein: What the hell Rondoa?! Rondoa: Don't start. Sohta. Sohta stopped picking at her fangs. Sohta: Yes? Rondoa: You were told not to leave Tumba by himself. Sohta: I never did. He's on the rim of valley where I told him to stay. Sohta put two fingers in her mouth and whistled. A few seconds later Tumba whistled back. All the girls gasped when they heard him. Sohta: Told you. And girls, don't worry. From where he is he can only hear us, just barely though. All the women let out a sigh. Rondoa started to walk away and all the women covered themselves again. Sohta: Hey Rondoa. Rondoa stopped and turned around. Rondoa: What? Sohta: Do you have a knife on you? Rondoa throws a knife to her and she catches it. Sohta: Thanks. Rondoa spreads his wings and takes off. Sohta: Here we go. This should do. Sohta broke off her fangs with the knife. Sohta: {Groan} God damn it that hurt! Zerein looked at Sohta And her fangs grew back. Zerein: They just grew back. Sohta: ...Damn it!! She put the broken fangs in a pocket in her robes and grabbed a beer mug. She took a big gulp and put it back down. Zerein: Damn girl. Problems? Sohta: I hate these fangs. I can't get rid of them, everyone is scared of me, And I have this overwhelming urge to sink my teeth into something. Jein: Thats the vampire talking. Zerein looked at Jein. Zerein: The hell. I thought you couldn't speak english. Jein: I can, I just chose not to do it. Zerein: Why? Jein: This. She showed them her fangs. Zerein: How the hell did we miss that? Jein: Because we control when we change. Zerein: You know what, I'm so drunk right now I won't even remember anything from tonight. Kreia gets out of the water. Kreia: It really sucks how I can't go and relax in the hot springs. Sohta: Why can't you? Kreia: Because when we aqueia submerge our bodies in warm enough water we get very sexually active. And that reminds me. Kreia takes Sohta's mug and pours it out. Sohta: Hey! Kreia: You're pregnant. You shouldn't be drinking. Woman: You're pregnant? A bunch of other women asked the same question over and over again. Sohta: This is the exact reason why I haven't said anything about it to anyone here. Zerein: Hey girls. It's starting to get late. Sohta: Yeah 'm getting a little tired. Jein: Hold on. Before you leave. Jein bites Sohta on the neck and lets go. she spit out blood. Sohta: Ow! What the hell?! Jein: Bite Tumba and by this time tomorrw you should both have just fangs and neither of you two will continue changing. By the way, if I would have never done that your baby would have killed you when you give birth. Sohta: Uh...Thanks? Jeez, major Question mark. Sohta Kreia and Zerein Waked back to the castle and sohta went to bed. Tumba got in bed with her and she woke up. Sohta: Tumba. Tumba: Yes? Sohta: please don't hit me. Tumba: Why would I? Sohta bit him in the neck, let go, and spit the blood out. Tumba: What was that for? Sohta: It was a request from my friend Jein. By this time tomorrow you should have only fangs. That is what she told me when she bit me. Tumba: When did she bite you? Sohta: About an hour ago. Tumba: How could a vampire help another vampire by biting them? Sohta explained that there is two wypes of vampires, undead and living. Tumba woke up to the feeling that something was biting him in the neck. He put his hand on his neck, nothing was biting him. Sohta: You too? Tumba: What? Sohta: I woke up about an hour ago and did the same thing. You know with me being pregnant it makes me think about what is happening to the baby. Tumba: The baby will be fine. Sohta snuggles up to Tumba. Sohta: I'm just worried is all. Tumba: Don't worry. Sohta: I'm trying,but I'm also going through a lot of stress. Tumba: Have you tried relaxing? Sohta: Yes I have but everything that I try doesn't work. Tumba: Well then, you want to do something? Sohta: Sure what did you have in mind? Tumba: How about a walk in the moon light? It always calms me. Sohta: Lets try that. They both got up and walked outside. The cool night air washed over them and Sohta stretched. Tumba walked into the moonlight and stopped. Tumba: It feels like its empowering to be in the moonlight. Sohta: I know what you mean. Tumba turned towards the moon. It changed from full to black to full again. Tumba: What the... Tumba turned to Sohta and she fadded away into the moonlight. Tumba: Sohta?! Sohta! Where are you?! The light faded away and the castle desintegrated in seconds along with the rest of the world, and then it all went black....Tumba woke up. Tumba: Where am...Sohta!! He got up quickly and hit his head on something. ???: {sleepily} Hey...Whats the matter with you? We're trying to sleep... Tumba: Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?! ???: The heck...Wait a minute. What's your name? Tumba: Tumba Vientorau. ???: ...Ha. Haha. Thats a good one. Tumba puls the man off the top bunk by the neck and holds him in the air. Tumba: Are you Questioning me? Man: Holy Shit! Don't kill me! A large man tackles Tumba and Tumba pins him to the ground. Tumba: Hey! What was that for? Man2: You attacked your officer. I'm just supposed to break up the fights. I swear. Man1: Do you even know my name? Tumba: Not a clue, I don't care, and where is Sohta? Man1: Sohta? You mean The high witch who helped end the war Sohta? Tumba: Sister in law to Averin Vientorau. Man1: I was just about to say that. What do you want with her? She's been deceased for three thousand years. Tumba: ...Damn it! Tumba got up and ran out the room, he was now in a large room filled with high tech equipment. A nicely dressed man walked up to him. Man3: Hello again Tumba. Man1: Holy mother... You really are Tumba Vientorau!! My name is Kreag Joriss. Tumba: Could someone please tell me what the hell is going on here?!?! Man3: In case you don't know I am Rondoa. Tumba: ...Averin told me about his trip. You tell me I need to help you with something, I do it ,I go home. End of story. Rondoa: Not quite. You will learn to use a weapon only design for you to use. For instance Ponkoro Taught you how to use this. Rondoa tosses Tumba a tiny gear horse. Tumba: Mechanicus... Rondoa: You have already met your engineer AKA officer Kreag. Kreag bows to Tumba. Tumba: So whats my assignment? Rondoa: Walk with me. They both start walking to the mess hall. Rondoa: I will supply you with a particle accelerator, fusion reactor, fission reactor, and an artificial gravity generator. Your assignment is to use these resources to build a Hover Knight engine. and it has to be powerful enough to lift he High soaring kingdom of the ground and station itself above the Dead Dragon peak. Why? I can not tell you until he day of the war of the three kingdoms. Tumba: ...Challenge accepted, except I have no clue how to do that! Rondoa: Thats where your little metal friend comes into play. The doors to the mess hall open and Rondoa walks inside. Tumba goes back to his room. Kreag: How did you survive three thousand years? Tumba: I didn't. And if I told you any more Rondoa- Kreag: Commander Rondoa. Tumba: I can tell you now that I have known him longer than you have. As I was saying, if I told you any more then Rondoa would have me kill you. Rondoa passes by their room. Rondoa: Damn straight. Tumba: Now, Kreag, Explain to me what has happened in the past...Three thousand years.

One L-O-N-G talk later...

Tumba: So the particle transmitter responds to the oscellator through mgnetic discharge? (by the way I have no clue if this is true or notfor the technology has not yet even been invented) Kreag: No, Electro-magnetic discharge. Tumba: Ok Then this pice should be turned around. Kreag: But then it won't even work at all. Tumba: Just watch... Tumba took a long glass toob with metal ends out of the machine and turned it around. He took to wires from the panel next to it and connected them to the ends of the tube along with the terminals. (I do know about this though) Tumba took a small electro-lacerator and fused the wires to the terminals. Tumba: Now you see that small metal toy horse. Tumba pointe to the metal figure. Kreag: Yeah. Tumba: Watch this. He turned a gear on the side of it and it grew to the size of an actual horse. Kreag: {flipping out} Holy!!!! What the hell is that?!?! Tumba: Treiaus. Tumba took the soul gear out of its head and gave it to Kreag. Tumba: That small gear is what powers that entire thing. Its called a soul gear, and I'm the one that made it. They are usually made out of a magic imbued metal. But this one is made out of what you would call Technetium. Just it isn't radioactive, it is what I call magically charged, Because...Well...It isn't radioactive but it still has a lot of energy that it releases when used. And that is the kind of energy that this plasma pump will provide when elctrical energy is provided. Kreag: This defies the laws of physics. Tumba: Hand me that wrench attached to the side of it. Kreag: O...k? Kreag took a tiny wrench off of the gaer and the wrench grew to five feet long. Kreag: Whoa! Dude,You're really starting to scare me with all of this. He hands the wrench to Tumba. Tumba takes the wrench and hits the side of the machine. Kreag: Are you fucking mad!!!! You'll kill us all!!! Tumba: Wait for it... The machine started working and slowly rose into the air. Kreag: ...Uh...Uh...Uh... Tumba: I had to knock the piece inside back into place. And that was what is called the uhm, oh thats right, fuel rod. Kreag: What the hell!!! if a fuel rod were moved around like that it would have exploded. (if this were a different situation i would have put "The side of Kreag's head explodes because he can't explain how the laws of physics make this possible." But no, he needs to live) Rondoa walks in the room. Rondoa: It seems that you have done it. And as a reward you can keep that side project you've been working on for the past few nights. Tumba: Thank you sir, but how did you know? Rondoa: Cameras... Tumba: Aha. Well now that its finished... Tumba put his wrench back oto the gear and it shrunk to the size of a toothpick. He put it back into the metal horses head and shrunk the horse back into a small figurine. Tumba: My work here is done, can I go now? Rondoa: Not yet. I'm sure you would like to enjoy a few more nights as a human instead of a vampire. Tumba: What? Rondoa: Yes, I changed you back into a human so that you would fit in more here. Feel free to roam the ship. I even have a surprise for you. Just meet me in the mess hall in a few minutes. Tumba: Can do. See you there. Rondoa left. Tumba: Kreag, I thank you for all your help but the best thing I can give you is an apprentices' necklace. He takes a thin leather rope out of his pocket with a small metal gear on it and gives it to Kreag. Tumba: Keep this as a thank you. Kreag: Thanks. It was a pleasure working with the brother of the high king, Averin. Tumba: You know? I still don't see why he gets all the special treatment and... A man accidentally bumps into Tumba. Tumba: Hey! You better watchit or I will shive your own foot down your throat! The man backs away quickly. Kreag: Hehe, thats probably why. Tumba: Don't you start Or I might do that to you. Kreag: ...Uhm. Tumba: ...Hahaha! I'm just playing with you. Tumba leaves and heads to the mess hall When he gets there Rondoa invites Tumba to sit next to him. Tumba does. Rondoa: Heres to Tumba, for reinventing the antigravity generator. All: Hooray! Tumba: Wow. I didn't think it would be a big deal. Rondoa: You just brought man kind another step forward in technology. You deserve it. Thank you for everything. Heres your mechanical wing set, I finished it for you last night. Sohta will really like it. Rondoa gives Tumba a small set of metal triangles. Tumba: You think so? Rondoa: Yes. Now, she is waiting for you. Rondoa and all the people in the room faded away. The walls desintegrated along with th rest of the ship and Tumba was back in the courtyard of the castle, holding the two metal wings in his hand. Sohta: Tumba? You ok? Where did you get those? Tumba: I'm fine. Here these are for you. Hands them to Sohta. Sohta: What are they? Tumba: Open. Long metal blades extended from the bases of the trianlges Sohta: Whoa! They look like wings. How do I use them? Tumba: They attach to your shoulder blades, I mean they go on your back. Tumba put the wings on her back. She tested each one. And then lifted herself into the air. Sohta: {gasp} Its wonderful! Thank you Tumba! Tumba: Its nothing. Just wait until you see what I make for the kingdom. Sohta: Well I hope its as wonderful as these wings are. She lands and give Tumba a kiss. Tumba pick her up. Sohta laughs and he puts her down. Tumba come on. I'm getting tired. Sohta: Yeah, me too. They both go back to bed. In the morning Sohta woke up first. She got dressed and went outside. Kreia: Hey Sohta. Time for the training to begin already? Sohta: Uh-huh. Kreia: Ok. A few minutes later Tumba wakes up when He felt something lick his face. Tumba: Oh hey little guy. It was Besle. Besle: Mahck! Tumba: Sorry but I don't have any metal on me. Besle: {Growl} Mah... Besle slithered off down the hall and a lady screamed. Tumba: Why doesn't she teach it not to scare people? Tumba got up and walked out then stopped. Kreag was in front of him. Tumba: ...How the hell did you get here?! Kreag: Uhm. I'm not sure about that myself. One moment I'm talking to Commander Rondoa about you and the next...I'm here. Which I have noclue as of to when or where I'm at. Tumba: {sigh} Damn it Rondoa. You are in the Castle of the High Soaring Kingdom. Before it was lifted off the ground. Kreag: ...Three thousand years in the past?!?!?! Tumba: It would seem so my friend. Try not to get eaten if you leave. Tumba continues walking and turns at into a hallway. Kreag went to the nearest guard he could find and the guard tackled him. Guard: Who are you working for?! Kreag: Whoa whoa! I just need to know where Lord Averin is. Guard: Who's asking? Kreag takes the forge apprentice's necklace off and gives it to the guard. Guard: Oh. I'm really sorry about that. The guard gets off of him and Kreag gets up. Kreag: I am Tumba's apprentice. {puts necklace back on} Guard:I appologise. He is in the dining hall. Kreag: Thanks. Kreag heads to the dining hall and Tumba stops him on the way in. Tumba: Whoa. If you walk in their then three guards will tackle you. Go change your clothes first.You can wear a set of my clothes, they might fit you. Kreag goes back to Tumba's room and changes into a set of Tumba's clothes. He walks back to the dining halland Tumba stops him again. Tumba: They fit perfectly. I've only known you for three days and you are already wearing my clothes. Haha! {walks intothe dining hall and sits between Averin and Sohta. Kreag sits at the other side of the table across from Tumba. Kreag: Ok, would you please telll me which of these two half-dragons is Lord Averin. {points to Zerein and Averin. Zerein: Hey! Who do you think you are sitting at the rulers' table? Tumba: Don't worry, he's my apprentice. Kreag: Jeez, hostile much? Tumba: You don't know the half of it. That is Zerein {points to Zerein}, And thats Averin {points to Averin}. Kreag: Ah. Ok, thats a lot better. Kreag takes his gun out and slides it to Averin. He picks it up, Takes the clip out, and slides the gun back to Kreag. Kreag: So you do know what this is. Averin: Yeah. I had to handle one back in 5387. The day the three monarchs died. Kreag: So, you were the assassin? Averin: Bingo. I'm also the current holder of a planet sniper. Kreag: The 80 Caliber sniper rifle. How long of a sight you got? Averin: Thirty miles. Kreag: Damn...Well when Rondoa brought me here I was carrying my own arsenal of weapons. Averin: So what do you currently have? Kreag: Fifty frag grenades, one hundred shotgun shells, two pump action shotguns, about two hundred pistol rounds, two desert eagles including this one, twenty claymore mines, fifty pounds of C4, a weapon modifying kit, and one razor sharp army knife. Averin: How the hell did you carry all of that? Kreag: I cleaned out my locker and put everything on a cart. When I went in my room I was in a stone hallway. I turned backand the bunker itself had disapeared. I hid the weapons and came looking for Tumba. Averin: So let me get this straight, you brought enough C4 to blow this castle to rubble? Kreag: ...I think I should move it all to the armory, shouldn't I? Averin: {gets up} Come on. If any of the soldier find it we're all screwed. Kreag lead Averin to where he hid the cart of weapons and they moved it into Averin's personal armory. Averin: This here is my personal armory. Noone will even look in here without my permission. Anything else I'd like to know about? Kreag: ...Not that I know of. Oh! I hve a few vials of nitro glycerin for a small explosion. Averin: How many? Kreag: Fifty. Kreag opens up a crate with a caution sign on it and takes a small hour glass shaped vial out. The vial had a yellow fluid in one end and nothing in the other with a small metal band seperating the two ends. Kreag: This is it. Twist it, throw it, watch the enemy get blown to pieces. Averin: Ok then, well I'm going back to the dining hall. Kreag and Averin went back to the dining hall and sat down. Kreag: I forgot to give you this Averin. Kreag takes a holster and a loaded desert eagle out and gives it to Averin. Averin: Thanks. Kreag and Tumba bothe get up and head to the stables. Kreag mounts a horse and Tumba mounts his machanical horse. They headed toward the Gaia Plains. An hour later they stopped at the edge of the Gaia Plains. Kreag: What is the most dangerous animal? Tumba: A bloodtusk, They get to be a little bit bigger than a lion. Kreag headed off into the middle of the plains. He unmounted his horse, letting it run off. Kreag: I won't be needing you when I'm done. He takes out a bag of raw chicken and throws a few pieces out onto the ground then hides in a bush. Tumba: What the hell is he doing? Half an hour later bloodtusk come up and eats some of the chicken. It falls over and Kreag mounts it then takes out a capsule. He takes a syringe out of the capsule and injects the bloodtusk. The bloodtusk jumps up then runs off and tries to get Kreag off its back. It stops after a few minutes and Kreag unmounts it. He gives it a chunk of chicken that isn't poisoned and leads it back to the edge of the plains. Tumba looks to see what Kreag is doing and he sees the bloodtusk in front of him. Tumba: Oh my god!! Kreag: Whoa whoa whoa!! Its ok. She won't eat you. Tumba: She?! Kreag: Yes. It's a female. Tumba: How the hell do you even know what a bloodtusk is? Kreag: I overheard a hunter Talking to a few women about how he took down a bloodtusk with his bare hands. I called his bluff and he said that if a bloodtusk walked into the castle courtyard he would kill it the second he saw it... Tumba: With his bare hands... Kreag: Yep. So I'm going to bring this beauty here to the castle, talk to Averin about her, and then bring it into the middle of the courtyard where that hunter will be waiting. Tumba: You don't play around at all do you? Kreag: No I do not. Kreag took out a few leather straps and made a make shift halter for the blood tusk. The bloodtusk sat down and let him put it on her. Kreag: I think that you people think of these creatures as territorial, but they just try to defend themselves. Kreag mounted the bloodtusk and Tumba mounted his iron steed. Tumba: I think I should wash up when we get back to the castle. Kreag: Why? Tumba: I actually did kill a Bloodtusk with my bare hands a few days ago. Kreag: Knowing how hostile you get and how strong you are I still don't believe you. Tumba: No, I really did. But it was only possible because I am a vampire. Kreag: Then why are you not burning up in the sunlight? Tumba explained the difference between living and undead vampires. Kreag: Now I understand. Tumba: Yeah but the sunlight feels a little bit hotter than when I was human. They both headed back to the castleand Kreag stopped at the gates of the castle. Tumba continued going and a few guards came up to Kreag and his bloodtusk with spears. Tumba unmounted his horse. Tumba: Hold it!! The guards stopped with the spears an inch from the bloodtusk's skin. Kreag: It's ok girl. Tumba: withdraw your weapons. This bloodtusk is tamed. Guard: Why should we? Tumba: How many people come to the castle on a bloodtusk that hasn't eaten them? Guard: ...Fine. Guards, back down. The guards back down and Kreag unmounts the bloodtusk and walks up to one of the guards. Kreag: Go get Averin. The guard left and came back with Averin. Averin: Why the hell is there a bloodtusk in front of the gates? Kreag: Well, I have two reasons why. One, I tamed her. She will not attack anyone unless she is attacked or I will her to. Two, I need to prove to a certain hunter that he is bluffing and that is actually the whole reason why there is a bloodtusk here. Averin: Really, you went out and tamed a very dangerous animal? Just to bring it here and prove a hunter wrong? Kreag: Well, actually I did it for that and because I wanted to have something other than a horse to ride. Averin: Are you stupid? Kreag: No. All I had to do was put it to sleep with some raw chicken, mount it, wake it up, and then break it like you would a horse. Averin thought for a minute. Averin: {sigh} If she kills anyone I will kill her, then you. Kreag: Well if I get to fight you then better to go out fighting. She hasn't eaten in a while so could you please get me some raw meat. And it can't be bloodtusk meat. Because then...Well you know the rest. Averin: Guard, get a pig, kill it, and bring it here. I will be in the throne room. I have to finish the session. Guard: Yes sir! The guard leaves and come back a few minutes later with a bloody pig. Guard: Here. {hands it to Kreag} You feed it. Kreag: Ok. Kreag puts the pig down in front of the bloodtusk and she happily eats it. Kreag waits until she finishes and brings her to the center of the courtyard where the hunter was waiting. The hunter was talking to some women and they all run away. He looks to see what they were running from and jumps. Hunter: Holy sshhit!!!!! Kreag: I believe you said, and I quote, "If you ever bring a Bloodtusk in this castle I will personally kill it with my bare hands before it kills anyone." And you know what? She is tamed, she won't attack anyone unless attacked or if I will it. And you seem to be scared, why is that? Hunter: Hey...I...I was just lieing about that, ok? I just wanted to get girls man. Kreag: You went up to me and said I'm not good at hunting at all. Guess what? Half an hour and I caught a bloodtusk. And if you ever dis me again I will mame you with my bare hands. The hunter runs away and Kreag brings the bloodtusk with him to the outside of the castle. Tumba: Hey. Aren't you going to stay inside? Kreag: Nah. I like sleeping outside. If you need me I'll be somewheres in the Gaia Plains. Tumba: Ok then. I expect to see you tomorrow at the crack of dawn. If you are going to where those clothes then you will be a forge apprentice. Kreag: That don't bother me. I guess I'll meet up with you at the gates of the northern colony then? Tumba: Definitely. You need to declare yourself as my apprentice. Kreag: Ok. Well see ya. Kreag mounted his bloodtusk and headed towards the plains. When he got there he continued going until he got to a rather large tree. Then he stopped and unmounted the bloodtusk. Kreag: Well I guess I should give you a name. Rondoa: You should. Kreag Turned towards the tree and Rondoa was leaning up against it. Rondoa: If you plan on being in the wilderness then here. Rondoa waves his hand at Kreag and a black ring with symbols in it appears on his arms. Rondoa: I bestow upon you the power of alchemy. Use it to survive and stay alive. Good luck. Rondoa disappears into a cloud of smoke. Kreag looks at his arms. Kreag: Tumba told me something about this. Kreag went to the tree, clapped his hands together, and then put them both on the tree. The tree immediately began growing and continued growing until it was the size of a hundred year old oak tree. The branches now created an umbrella of shade. Kreag: Now about your name...Kiesha. I shall call you Kiesha. The bloodtusk roared in agreement. Kreag: Hehe...You like it don't you? Kiesha went under the tree and layed down. Kreag: I here ya. He layed down on his back, resting his head on her back and went to sleep. A few hours later he woke up to something moving towards him. He slowly got up and moved into some tall grass. A few minutes later a person crawled out of a bush and up to Kiesha. The person pulled out a dagger and held it above her. Kreag creapt out of the gras and behind the person and put his gun to the back of the person's head. Kreag: You kill her and I kill you. The person turned around, swinging her dagger at him but missed. ???: I have been tracking this bloodtusk for three hours now. Why shouldn't I? Kreag: Because that is my pet you're after. ???: ...Pet?! How stupid are you? It would rather kill you than be your pet. Kreag whistles and Kiesha gets up, sees the person, and tackles her. Kreag: Down Kiesha. Kiesha moved off of the person. ???: How...The hell? Kreag: I'm a good hunter. I even heard you coming. ???: I am the best hunter in the High Soaring Kingdom! How did you hear me? Kreag: Easy. {helps her up} I listen for the slightest change in noise. ???: I don't care. I just need to get another bloodtusk head for my wall. Kreag: Well don't kill Kiesha or I will hunt you down. The person leaves and Kreag and Kiesha both lie back down. Kreag goes to sleep and wakes up a few hours later to the light of the sunset. He got up and checked to see if his gun was still in his holster, it was gone. And so was all his other weapons. Kreag: Damn...I was really hoping not to have to hunt her down. The person jumps down off of one of the branches. ???: I was wondering when you were going to wake up. Kreag checks his boot and his knife was still there. Kreag: You forgot one thing. ???: What? Kreag: This. He pulls the knife out and pins the person to the tree, his knife to her neck. Kreag: Now where are my weapons? ???: They are on one of these branches. Kreag takes his kife away from her throat and puts it back in his boot. The person takes it out of his boot,throws it up in the tree, claps her hands together, then puts them on the tree. Kreag: Alchemy...Why does it have to be alchemy? Kreig Does the same and then all of the leaves dissapate. His weapons were all on the top of the tree. He climbs up,grabs them, the climbs down. Kreag: Take them again and I will bury you. Kreag puts all of his weapons back where he had them and turned to the person. Kreag: Why did you do that? ???: I wanted to know if you could do alchemy. The person drops a small white sphere and a bunch of smoke exploded out of it. Kreag: Why does everyone mess with me? Kreag wakes Kiesha up and starts traveling to the middle of the field of grass. Averin swoops in overhead and lands next to him. Kiesha growls at Averin. Averin: Oh hush. So whats going on Kreag? Kreag: Rondoa gave me the ability to use alchemy. And now I have this women who keeps bothering me because she can use alchemy too. Averin: You've got a female bully. Haha! Kreag: I respect you as my king, but when out here I have the resources at my command. So when say this I mean, Don't push your luck. Averin: Eh. I believe you too. I Fought Zerein when she was leader of the river colony. She bullied me too, but Then she pissed me of and my instincts took over. Kreag: I see. But this woman took my weapons put them in my tree then said find them. And now I have to put the leaves back. Sure making them disappear is easy. But when you need to put them all back you're taking away from the tree. Averin: Well I came here for hunting. It just so happen that I saw you. Kreag: What you hunting with and where s your spot? Averin: I go all the way to the mountains and snipe the biggest game I find. Kreag: Must be hard hitting something like that from that far away. Averin: Its a real challenge. Kreag: Well I hunt with my knife and trapping expertise. So I play it traditional. As they came up to a clearing they heard a loud roar that was cut off. Kreag withdrew his pistol and hurried into the clearing. It was the same woman fighting a bloodtusk with her dagger. He put his gun away and backed up. Kreag: Look its her, the one that has been annoying the hell out of me. Averin looks into the clearing and sees the huntress. Averin: Damn. If she is messing with you then she either likes you or hates you. Kreag: Well I stopped her from killing Kiesha and she looked mad. Averin: {out loud} Well I say she likes you, Kreag. She kills the blood tusk and hurls the knife at Averin and he catches it. Averin: Nope. She hates you. ???: Damn straight I don't. {Takes knife from averin} Averin: Calm down Burga. Burga: Then quit saying that I like that asshole! Averin: Ok. Averin flies up and then towards the mountains. Burga rips one of Kreag's sleeves off and cleans her blade. She gives it back to Kreag, And looks at his tattoo. Burga: So thats how you can do alchemy. How did you find these symbols? I have read many books on alchemy and I have never found these symbols. Kreag: Rondoa did this because I'd rather live in the wild than at the castle. Burga: Then I should ask Rondoa about this. Burga starts heading back to the castle and Kreag stops her. Kreag: Wait. How are you able to do alchemy? Burga: ...I'm a homunculus. She continues walking and disappears into the bushes. Kreag: What the hell is a homunculus? I'll ask Tumba. He mounted Kiesha and went back to the castle. Tumba was outside walking with Sohta and K reag stopped in front of them. Sohta: {gasp} Its a bloodtusk! Tumba: She won't bite you Sohta. What do you need Kreag? Kreag unmounts Kiesha. Kreag: Could you tell me what a hmonculus is? Tumba: {gasp} How do you know that word? Kreag: Because I met one in the field. Sohta: Homunculus are dangerous people. But here, this book should help you with this homunculus. Sohta take a book out of her robes and gives it to Kreag. Kreag: Thanks. Kreag returned to the Gaia Plains and his tree. He opened the book and on the first page it said, "This book itself was written by the homunculus Lirra. Do not let any homunculus get this book for it can be a dangerous decision." Kreag: Well then how about this. Kreag transmutes the book into pure knowledge and absorbs it. Kreag: Now where is her Ouroboris located? Burga: On my shoulder. Kreag: So you can't regenerate fast but you can track even the smallest creature across a continent. You are instinct, but who's? Burga: Congratulations. You figured it out. You, Tumba, and Sohta are the only people who know I a am a homunculus. So why did you absorb the book? Kreag: Having knowledge on all homunculi is very dangerous for a homunculus to know. Burga: Because then we would do what we can in our own power to absorb the other homunculi by absorbing their philosopher stone. I already know about it all because I've already read the book. But I prefer having a single personality. Kreag: So I'm not in danger? Burga: Yes you are actually. So you better start running. Kreag Headed back to the castle grabbed ten clips for his pistol and went back to the tree. Kreag: If you want to hunt me then I will make a deal with you. If I can shoot you ten times before you kill me, you have to stop trying to kill me. Deal? Burga: ...Deal. Kreag transmuted his knife into a longer blade and unmounted Kiesha. Kreag: How much of a head start do I get? Instinct: Until night time. And your time is almost up. Kreag noticed the increasing darkness and sprinted into the grass after running for a minute he realized that it was night time. He clapped his hands together and put them on the ground. His tracks completely disappeared and he continued on. A few minutes later while he was running a dagger flew into his right arm. He pulled it out and dressed the wound then pulled out his pistol. he transmuted the ground around him and all of the grass around him to a hundred feet away disappeared and he readied himself. Instinct came out of the grass and sprinted at him. He strated firing at her and she dodged most of the bullets. Kreag: One...Two, three...Four. The clip was emptied and Kreag continued into the grass, covering his tracks again. He took the dagger and threw it back to where he thought he knew where Instinct was and he heard a scream. He reloaded his gun and repeated the process from earlier. He saw Instinct and shot her three more times. Instinct: Damn it that hurts. Kreag quickly reloaded his pistol and shot her twice then let her come up to him. Kreag: Ten... Kreag shot her in the femur and Instinct stumbled to the ground. The bullet hole healed in a few seconds. Kreag put his pistol up and left. Instinct Got up and disappeared into the grass. Kreag went back to his tree and Kiesha was waiting for him. She gave a low growl and they both layed down under the tree. He realized that the tree had leaves on it. Kreag: I didn't do this. Kreag jumped up and took out his sword. He put his back to the tree. Kreag: Kiesha, go. Kiesha got up and ran into the tall grass. Kreag listened and he heard a twig break. He transmuted his sword back into a knife. Kreag: Kiesha, come here girl. Kiesha returned to him and Instinct jumped down out of the tree. She pulled out her dagger. Kreag reacted, he took his gun out and shot her in the head. Instinct dropped her dagger and put her hand to her head. Instinct: Fuck!! Why did you do that?! Kreag: You tried to kill me. What do you think I'm going to do? Instinct: It was a test of reflex. You weren't supposed to shoot me. Kreag: Why are you even following me? Instinct: No one has ever beaten me in any contest or game. I just can't stand it. Kreag: Then would you like to stay with me and learn how I became so good. Instinct: ...Fine. But if you try to make a move on me I will break your neck. Kreag: I believe you. And if you try to kill me, I know how to kill you. Instinct: Yeah I know, the book. Kreag: Don't you live in the castle? Instinct: No. I've been traveling all of my life because I can't stand it in the city. I feel like an actual animal. Kreag: Well I don't like to sleep in a building at all either. Through my years as an army man, I prefer to be outside than inside. Instinct: Which army? Kreag: Rondoa brought me from the future. So I have more advanced training than anyone in this time. And that includes you too. Instinct: That explains a lot, like how you survived. Kreag: Well I can train you to be better. Instinct: Then will you teach me? Kreag: As long as you don't hurt me or Kiesha. Instinct: Ok. It doesn't bother me. Instinct stretched and jumped into the tree. Kreag: What are you doing? Instinct: I sure as hell am not sleeping down there with you. Kreag: So you are going to sleep in a tree like a squirrel? Instinct: You got a problem with me or something? Kreag: No. Its just weird. Kreag layed down on the ground and Kiesha layed down next to him. He ripped his other sleeve of and threw it to the side. He went to sleep. In the morning he woke up. It was almost dawn. He went to the waterfalls that bordered the Gaia Plains and stopped when he heard someone humming. He hid behind a rock and looked around. Instinct was Washing under the waterfall. She had her back turned to him and he reverted his gaze back away. Instinct: You know, It's not polite to peek. Kreag: Hey! I didn't see anything. Instinct: Good. Now leave. Kreag returns to the tree. It was now dawn. Kreag: Guess I'm not going to wash up. He wakes Kiesha up and mounts her. He then headed to the northern colony and stopped in front of the gates. Tumba was waiting With a pig next to him. Kreag: Hey. You got Kiesha's breakfast. Tumba: Who's Kiesha? Kreag: Big girl right here. Tumba: You mean burga? Kreag: What? Kreag looked to the side and Instinct was standing there. Kreag: Why are you following me? Instinct: You were the one who left me in the plains. You said that you were going to teach me how to be a great hunter. Tumba: Wait, what? Are you two together? Kreag: You shouldn't have said that. Tumba: Why you... Tumba: Why? Kreag: Because she hates me and she has already tried killing me. Do you think that we're together no? Tumba: Well Zerein tried to kill Averin. Now look at them. Instinct: Not this time. Kreag: I would advise stopping at this point. Tumba: Ok. So who is Kiesha? Kreag: My bloodtusk! Kreag unmounts Kiesha and she attacks the pig. Kreag: Looks like she was waiting for me to get off her back. Instinct: Shut up. Kreag: Haha! I knew that would annoy you. Lead the way Tumba. Tumba and Kreag entered the gates and headed for Tumba's housing. When they got there Tumba held his wrist to the door and it clicked on the other side. Tumba: {quietly} Welcome to my house. Now hurry in before someone sees us. Kreag: Why? Tumba: Get in! Forge master: Tumba? Hey the Head Forge Master is back everyone! A bunch of people started rushing to Tumba. Tumba: You see this is why. Kreag: Well I ddn't know. Tumba: Well since everyone is here. This young man has an anouncement to make. Kreag: I am his new apprentice. The croud of people cheered. They both went inside. Tumba: Ok. First you will make a Soul Gear out of an activated metal. So heres the ore. Go smelt it. Kreag clapped his hands together and touched the bucket of ore and it split into two buckets. One with the impurities and another with the unforged metal. Then he changed the metal into a molten metal. He made a gear mold and poured the liquid metal into it. tumba had his mouth wide open the entire time. Tumba: How the hell did you do that? Kreag: Rondoa gave me the ability to use alchemy at will. Hence the tattoos on my arms. Tumba: Great. Just great. Now I have to speed up your training by a few years. Kreag: Rondoa is a little too nice to us is he? Tumba: No. He is just trying to keep us alive for the great war between the three kingdoms. Now for your next lesson, Build an exact replica of this. Tumba takes out the metal horse and sets it on the ground, it grows to full size and Tumba takes the soul gear out. Tumba: I'l give you an hour. Kreag: Not even that. Just get me the metal that this horse of yours is made out of and I'll make one that is exactly like it inside and out. Tumba: Go to the distributer outside. He'll give you a five foot block of metal. Kreag went outside and found an old man sitting behind a desk in front of a giant block of metal that was about ten stories high. Kreag: How did you do that? Man: I didn't. Tumba transmuted the old walker that was in the way of new buildings. He put on a small bracelet, clapped his hands together, touched it, and it turned into this. He even gave me that bracelet and said use this to hand out blocks of metal to whoever needs it. Kreag: So he is also an alchemist? Man: Whats an alchemist? Kreag: ...Nevermind. I need a block for a project he has me doing. Man: You're the new apprentice? Kreag: Yes. I am. Man: Well in that case you don't have to pay for any of it. The man clapped his hands together and put them on the block metal. I five foot cube of metal morphed out of the block. Kreag: Thanks. Kreag Transmuted the block into a cart and moved it into Tumba's house. He transmuted the horse into seperate floating pieces and replicated the machine in minutes. After he was done Tumba walked in and couldn't decide which one was his. Tumba: Which one is mine? Kreag: Mine has The apprentice gear symbol on the head. Tumba: Ok. Well Then lets see if it will work. Kreag put his soul gear in the head piece and a purple light filled the inner mechanics with life. Tumba: How did you get it purple? Kreag: Its a Transmutation trick for Forgers. Tumba: Oh. Tumba put the soul gear back in his and a blue light filled the inner mechanics. Tumba: I still prefer the blue though. Instinct: Tumba. You done with him yet? Kreag jumped when he heard her. Tumba: Yeah. You can have him. Instinct: That didn't take too long. Tumba: Well next he is going to make a replica of the walker. Kreag: you mean the thing that you turned into that giant cube? Tumba: Yes. Now go run along with your fiance. Instinct punches Tumba in the jaw really hard. Instinct: You better watch it. Kreag: I told you but you didn't listen. Tumba: Ah Hhahhah. He pops his jaw back into place. Tumba: Man that hurt. She sure can punch. Kreag: You don't know the half of it. Tumba: You know, for a homunculus you're a little weak. Instinct: What did you say?! Kreag grabbed her and held her from jumping at Tumba. Kreag: Ok asshole, I think its time to stop before she kills you. Tumba: Hey I'm just having a little fun. Instinct: I'm a homunculus, you're a human. I could easily... Tumba: Human? Ha! Last time I checked I had fangs and a slight hunger for blood. Instinct: {gasp} Vampire! Instinct backed up a little. Tumba: Oh. It seems you're afraid of me. Instinct: No... Kreag looked behind Tumba and backed up too. Tumba: Oh. Sorry Kreag I thought you knew. Kreag: Tumba. Behind you. Tumba sighed and turned around. It was Sohta. Sohta: Hey! Tumba jumped. Tumba: Damn it, Sohta. You can't come in here unnoticed. You'll scare the other forgers. Why are you scared Kreag? You knew that me and Sohta are together. Kreag: I could of swore that she had blonde hair the last time we met. Tumba: Noticed that Sohta had black hair. Tumba: She changes her hair color to go with her outfit. Kreag: Oh. Well see you whenever. Kreag and Instinct left. Sohta: She is totally inlove with him. A dagger flies past her head. Instinct: Say it again and I will not miss. She takes her dagger and leaves. She catches up with Kreag. Kreag: How good are you at hearing? Instinct: I can here a butterfly flap its wings. Kreag: What about listening for no sound at all? Instinct: That makes no sense what so ever. Kreag: I'll show you once we get to the bar. They walk into the bar and the loud talk almost blocks out the quiet sounds of the clanks of beer mugs. They both sit down at the bar. Kreag: Two mugs please. Instinct: So how does this work? Kreag: Its used to pinpoint the location of your target. You listen to the conversation going on over there. when the man to the left falls silent they will star a bar fight, so you will turn to the group and throw your dagger at his mug without opening your eyes when he does to prevent it. Now close your eyes. Instinct closed her eyes and listened, the man on the left stopped talking and she turned and threw her dagger. It stuck into the mans hand next to the mug. Kreag: Bullseye. Instinct: But I didn't hit the mug. Kreag: You weren't supposed to. Instinc: I hate you so much. The bar man put two mugs on the counter and filled them. Kreag took his and took a big swig. Kreag: Thats good beer. He turned to Instinct and she had already downed half the mug. Instinct: There is something off about it though. She takes a piece of raw meat out of her bag and drops it in the mug. She takes another sip. Instinct: Thats better. The man came up to Instinct and she looked up. Instinct: Wheres my dagger? Man: You threw it into my hand! The man reaches out to grab her and she grabs his hand then breaks it. The man screams in pain and a few other men come up to her. Instinct finishes the rest of her beer. Instinct: Whos next? A large man steps up to her. Instinct: I guess you then. She smashes the mug on the guys head and kicks him in the groin, causing him to smash into a table. A small man ran up to her. She kicked him in the head and hit him with an uppercut. Then the rest of the men in the bar came after her. A few minutes later Instinct was standing on a pile of unconscious men. She held up her hand. Instinct: Whiskey bottle. The bar man threw her a bottle of whiskey and she left. Kreag followed her out. Kreag: I guess that It didn't work. Instinct: Well thats what happens when you attack someone in a bar. She pulls the cork out with her teeth and spits it at a tree. She drinks half the jug. Instinct: I haven't been in a bar in...three years. Hey! You want to see my treehouse? Kreag: Uhm. Sure? Instinct: Come on its in the redwood forest. Instinct drank the rest of the whiskey and ran to the gate and got on a horse. She galloped off down the trail and veared off into the redwood forest. Kreag: {sigh} She's drunk. Kreag whistled and Kiesha ran up to him. He mounted her and then went after Instinct. A few minutes later he stopped under a tree that Instinct was jumping around in. She missed a branch and fell down to a lower branch. Instinct: Ow. Hey Kreag. Kreag: You seem...Happy. Instinct: Well duh. I always feel happy when I'm with you. Kreag: Wow, you are drunk. nstinct: I'm not drunk. I've had my eyes on you from the start. Kreag: Then why did you attack me? Instinct: It has something to do with The seasons and how hot or cold the climate is. Follow me. She went into the trunk of the tree. Kreag climbed the tree to the spot where she entered and followed her into the rather large tree. Kreag: So...Your angry when...But your happy...What? Instinct:How about this. She kissed him. Kreag: So do you like me or hate me? Instinct: Just go with it. She continued kissing him and they layed down on the soft moss. Kreag woke up. Instinct was still asleep. Kreag: That was exhausting to do. Instinct wakes up. Instinct: Yeah. But it was wonderful. Kreag: It sure was. What time is it? Instinct: It should be night time right about now. Kreag: You know, this tree house of yours is actually kind of cool. How did you get a flat surface and moss carpet? Instinct: I brought a lot of dirt in here and the moss grew by itself. Kreag: Its beautiful. Instinct: Thank you. Kreag: Do you really love me? Or are you just doing it for the sex? Instinct: I love you and thats the truth. Kreag: Wellthen you might want to check if your pregnant every now and then. Instinct: I know, and I'll keep trying until I get pregnant. Kreag: Well then only once a day. I have to get work done. Instinct: Then how about during the day you can do what you need to do and at night you come cuddle with me. Kreag: Then where are you going to stay tonight? Instinct: How about the tree that we met under? Kreag: Its fine with me. Now I got to go. He got up, put his close on, and climbed out of the tree. He whistled and Kiesha appeared next to him. Kreag: So you hungry? Kiesha gave a small roar and Kreag mounted her. He headed toward the north colony. When he got there no one was at the gates or in the colony and the gates were smashed in. He unmounted Kiesha and she ran back down the road. Kreag took his pistol out and loaded it. Something passed by the crack in the gate. He readied the pistol. something grabbed him and pulled him into a bush. Whatever grabbed him took his pistol. Tumba: Sshhh. Are you crazy? There is an undead vampire lurking in the colony! He got three people already. Instinct came into the hiding area. Instinct: Kreag! Thank god you're alive. Tumba: What? I thought she hated you. Kreag: Just go with that for now. Instinct why are you even here? Tumba: Instinct? Instinct: Yes my real name is Instinct because I'm a homunculus. Kreag, I smelled a decaying carcus and blood. It was strong from in the forest so I came looking for you. Kreag: You didn't have to worry. Instinct Yes I did. You are the only person I have ever fallen in love with. And I am one hundred forty seven years old. Compared to anyone that is two life times. Instinct took a sword from a guy nearby and left. Instinct: Hey! Mosquito! The vampire came out, saw Instinct, and ran towards her. When the vampire got close enough Instinct swung the sword and sliced the head off. The vampire turned to dust. Man: Damn. You know how to use that better than I do. Instinct gave him his sword back and went to Kreag. Tumba: Well it looks like your girl friend killed the vampire. I guess the walker could wait till tomorrow. Kreag: You want to go again Instinct? Instinct: Yes! But first.... Instinct took out a piece of charcoal, Turned Kreag around, and took his shirt off. Kreag: Uhh...What are you doing? Instinct: Just give me a second. Instinct drew two bird wings on his back. She clapped her hands together and touched both of them. The turned into two large wings. Kreag: Whoa! I did not know that was possible. Instinct: Power of the philosopher stone baby. Kreag: But what about you? I won't be able to do that. Instinct grinned and then started running. She got on all fours and started to go faster. Kreag: Well Tumba, I guess I got to chase my own woman. Kreag flew after her. When he finaly caught up to her she was waiting at the tree that he transmuted a few days ago. Instinct: I expected you to be here later than that. If I'd have known I would already have my clothes off. Kreag: Well you should always know that I adapt to my environment very quickly. Instinct well then how are we going to have our fun this time? Krea: Lets just see where it takes us. Instinct kissed him and they leaned against the tree. Kreag transmuted the tree into a largeer tree with a hole in the side. Kreag: Shall we take this inside? Instinct: Mmm. Ok. They both went into the tree and continued kissing. In the morning Instinct woke up to the sound of the steps of something big. It was far away but by the way she heard it it was heading towards the tree. Instinct: Kreag! Get up! They both hurriedly got their clothes back on and ran outside. A giant walker passed above them. Kreag: Its headed for the castle! Kreag took off into the air and entered the massive construct. He landed in a hallway and continued to the next one. the door opened and he was at an intersection. In the center of the intersection was a floating cube with a map on each side. There were red parts and green parts in the map. The center room was lit up red. Kreag: Lets hope that is the command room. Kreag glided down the halls to the room. The construct came to a stop and Kreag hit a wall. He got back up and continued to the center of the construct. Turns out every room that was marked red was either damaged or had no energy cells to make it useable. After a few minutes he got to a room that was dimly lit. he folded his wings and sparks flew from a purple cylander on the wall. ???: God damn it! Anold man came into the room and recharged the cylander with a purple energy ball. The lights came back on but they were still dim. Kreag: Who are you? ???: Bierto Zateim Makrius. Now how did you get up here? Kreag: My name is Kreag Joriss. I flew up here. Makrius: With what? Kreag: My wings. Kreag unfolds his wings then folds them back. Makrius: Ah Ok then. Kreag: Charge it when it isn't on the wall and it might be a lot different. Makrius: Lets try it. Would you please help me? Kreag helped Makrius take the cylander out of the wall. Makrius hit it with another energy ball and it was now glowing. Kreag put it back in the wall and the room was now fully lit and all the equipment in the room was now operational. Makrius: Wow. You know, I could really use your help. Would you like to help me fix this walker? Kreag: Only if my fiance can come. Instinct: I was waiting for my introduction. Makrius: Instinct. Instinct: Its been to long father. Kreag: Hes your father? How is he still alive? Instinct: Hes a warloc, They live for a long time. Makrius: I haven't seen you since you ran away. What have you been doing? You're all dirty, you smell like a dead carcus, you have blood all over your clothes. Instinct: I live in the wilderness, my clothes stink not me, and I purposely soak my clothes in blood. Makrius: Did you go insane or something? Instinct: No. I hunted the most dangerous animals in the three kingdoms except for a few. Makrius: Well its good to catch up. I have been working on this construct for over a decade now. Kreag: Why take so long to do that? Makrius: I had to recreate the energy cells and the command room power cell. This construct has different forms that it can take. It can be an air ship, space ship, a type of underwater ship, or just a walker. It also has many many machines that have been stored in here, but they all require a soul gear to work. Kreag: It just so happens that I have one on me right now. Makrius: Really? That means that you can use any of these machines. Kreag: Well its mostly machinery with gears. Makrius: Com this way. They all went into a room filled with machines of all kinds. As they passed each one Makrius explained what it does. He stopped when they got to a small console with three crystals poking out. Makrius waved a hand over it and a screen materialized. Makrius: This is the manuel control panel for what it turns into, but it can't change into another form unless I finish fixing the rooms. It needs all of the hallways to be lit up and all of the rooms to be lit up. A bunch o symbols appeared on the screen. Makrius looked at them and then at Instinct with a worried look. Makrius: Instinct. I need you to do two things for me. One, there is a ring in the command room, it is in a box. activate it and you should be able to regenerate faster. Two, I need you to go to the central power core. In there is a nucleus that has recently become unstable. You need to remove it and bring it to the flight deck. Kreag, I need you to put your soul gear in one of the tanks. If we don't get rid of the nucleus then the three kingdoms will be no more. Kreag: You're talking about a nuke. Makrius: What? Kreag: Ok, long story short, Rondoa brought me from the future and if the blast equals up to the size of the nucleus then it is called a nuke that has become unstable. probably because of your frequent blasting the Power cell in the command room. Makrius: What are you getting at? Kreag: If we can contain it in a lead casing then it woul be useable to power every room in this construct. So we need to put it in a power cell, not an energy cell. Makrius: If this works then you will be a hero to millions of people. Instinct returned with the nucleus, her arms were burning from the heat and radiation. Kreag: Oh no, its too late. Kreag takes out his soul gear. Kreag: We need to use the cannon that this thing holds above it, not a tank. lets move Instinct, we can't afford to lose any time. Instinct began running through doors and Kreag followed after her. Soon they got to a room that had a bunch of empty energy cells on the floor.Instinct put the nucleus into one of them and handed it to Kreag: Ok. Now look for a tube that has an opening in the side. Instinct looked around and she saw a tube with a large bar on it. Instinct: There. She pointed to the tube and Krea opened it, took the old energy cell out and put the energy cell with the nucleus in it. He closed the tube and went to the pad next to the tube he aimed up into the sky and opened the firing controls. Kreag: When I say cover your ears then do it. Instinct nodded. Kreag plotted the power that wa going to be used and he set it to maximum. Kreag: Cover your ears! Instinct put her hands over her ears and Kreag pulled a leaver down.The nucleus shot out of the cell down the long tube, shaking the room violently. It changed colors from white to red as it left the tube. A large shock wave came from the barrel of the giant cannon along with the nucleus. When the nucleus exploded the clouds parted from where it exploded for hundreds of miles. Kreag inserted the soul gear into a small mechanism and the cannon returned to its original position. Kreag: that was a close one. Instinct: I agree. They both made it back to Makrius who was readying a spell. Makrius: Ah. Just in time. He finished the spell and a nucleus appeared in front of him. He put the nucleus into a purple cylander and sealed it. Makrius: Both are made by magic. I need you to take this to the central power core. Instinct nodded and went to the power core. When she put the cell in the middle the core extended clamps to the cell and held it in place while more metal came down to hold it in place. Makrius noticed the lights come on. Makrius: There we go. Kreag: now as for fixing it, why didn't you just transmute the entire thing? Makrius: Its too big for me. Kreag: Fine then I'll do it. Makrius: You're an alchemist? Kreag: Yes, I am a class A alchemist. Kreag clapped his hands together then touched the floor. Kreag: That should do it. Makrius: Then lets see. He checked the screen and an option for changing into the airship appeared on the screen, then the space ship, then the aquatic ship, and then a new design that wasn't finished appeared. He selected that one and a larger screen came up. It was a building with an extended cannon on top. Kreag: A mass driver cannon. They can really do some damage. Looks like the wlker will have to put out clamps to keep it from moving when the cannon is fired. Makrius: I had never known about this one until just now. These things are usually controlled from the command room or from a transmitter that con be anywhere on the planet. Something changed in the design. Makrius zoomed in and someone was making the next room have a small cell attached to a wiring of some type. It was small but they both noticed it. Instinct: Hey Kreag you forgot your soul gear. Kreag: I did/ Instinct gave the soul gear to him. Makrius was messing with the structure of the new structure. Makrius: This will never do. Without forward thrust it wouldn't move. ???: Thats because the new design doesn't move. Makrius: Well what if it needs to move out of the way of an attack that would destroy it? ???: It doesn't matter. Makrius: Ohh. You are really starting to push my buttons little girl. ???: I don't care dad. Instinct: Wait a minute. I know who that is. Greda? Is that you? ???: Is that my big sis Instinct? Instinct: Yeah it is. Greda: Well isn't this a surprise. How ya been? Instinct: You know how you said I needed to get me a man? Greda: Don't tell me. You won't get one because your a lesbian. Instinct: I wouldn't say stuff like that because once I go back to anger I might come after you. Anyways I got me a hunk! Come here Kreag. Kreag stepped in front of the screen. Greda: ...Fuuuuck! Not fair! I can't even get myself a boyfriend. Instinct: Well he is actually my fiance. We have spent a few times together. Greda: Really? Instinct: No kiddin. Hey. Where are you at? Greda: I don't know. One minute I'm going to my own bed and the next I was in here. So I learned about what this equipment does and I have spent the past year making a new model for the large constructs. Instinct: If you can contact the constructs then you can pinpoint your own location by sending them back to the station they deployed from. Makrius: You know, that just might work. Kreag: Hey Makrius. I just realized something. Makrius: What? Kreag: Two things. One, your a terrible parent. Two, you have children that are scattered around the world. Makrius: Not my fault, they decide to leave and I let them. Kreag: Well if we're going to get to the station and back before dinner then we should put this thing in motion. Set it to the air ship. Console: Voice command confirmed. Kreag: What? The construct shifted the rooms round and lifted into the air. The new large ship had two turbines and the wings were in an X formation. The ship hit full power and in three hours they landed in a humungous hangar along with three other ships. They exited the ship and Greda was standing at the entrance to another room. Greda: Hey dad. Hey Instinct. Instinct: I still refuse to call him dad. So its no use trying to get me too. Greda: I don't care what you say, just as long as it isn't a threat. Makrius: Greda. Its so good to see you again, I mean in the flesh. Greda: You too dad. As you can see there are only four constructs. This facility is big enough to hold fifty. The technology to repair the station has been lost over the centuries and the constructs were used to fix it. By the way we are about three miles above the ground right now. So there is now outside unless you can fly. Instinct: So, Greda, Did you fix this station? Greda: Oh yeah. Alchemy works wonders in this station. Instinct: But it can't make you a boyfriend can it? Greda: Alasno. Not without a soul to give it. And then we could see how long the soul lasts attached to the body. Instinct: Well anyways. We watched where we flew to on the way here and it turns out that you are somewhere above the Raboura Sea. Greda: How the hell...? Kreag: Lets check the command room for this thing. Greda: Station. Kreag: Station. And find out how she could have gotten here. Kreag went to the command room. It was bigger than the construct's command room and it had two floors. Kreag flew up to the center console and check what its status was. It was moving at about five miles per hour and headed to the Abiss Fault line. He checked the power and it was low. Kreag returned to the three who had just finished a small family reunion. Makrius: So Kreag, What do you think of my daughter Instinct? Kreag: I'm sorry but there is no time for that right now the power levels of this station are almost zero. And that means that it willplunge into the sea at any moment. Can this station land in water and float? Greda: I'm afraid it can't convert to aquatic mode right now. Kreag: Why not? Greda: You see when I tried to fix the station I couldn't seal up the entire thing so I only sealed the areas that I would be in most. Kreag: What class alchemist are you? Greda: Class A. Why? Instinct: You're going to help him fix the station. Kreag: You are too. Instinct: But I'm not as good as you are. Kreag: Well I need you two to make a larger nucleus and bring it to the core. force the old positive core to absorb a new negative core. It should create a more stable compound nucleus. It will give us aboutan hour before this thing drops. Instinct: Come father. We must get this done. Makrius and Instinct left. Kreag: Ok. I can fly because I have wings, so I can get around quickly. Do you have a way to get around quickly? Greda: I can Ride one of the smaller vehicles stored in the constructs. Kreag: Good enough for me. We need to get to the center of this station so that we can fix the entire thing. Kreag whistled and a mechanical steed ran out of the construct and stopped in front of him. Kreag: Take her with you to the center of this station Mechanus. The metal horse nodded and Greda mounted it. Kreag: Go. The horse galloped to the center room of the sttion and Kreag glided behind them. Instinct and Makrius got to the core and it filled the room with a blue color. Instinct: Now how do we do this? Makrius: The core is approximitely twenty times larger than the core used in the construct. So it will take me a while to get one atleast half its size. Kreag and Greda just got to the room. Kreag: Ok, how much time do we have left. He flew to the console and then a large creaking noise came from the ship. Everything went silent. Kreag: What just happened? The station used the last of its power and dropped. Greda: Kreag...How long until its over? Kreag: Not even a minute. None of us will make it out alive. Greda: Well it was nice meeting you Kreag. Kreag: same here. Kreag sat down. Kreag: I guess rondoa can't fix this. Rondoa: Indeed I can't. I wish I could. You and Instinct have a wonderful family in the future. Rondoa was a half-dragon. Kreag: Thanks for bringing me into this era. It was fun while it lasted. Rondoa: The best I could do was warn your friends. The Vientorau family have never left anyone behind. But you might be dead before they get here. Kreag: Just if we had a few more minutes we would have this thing in the air long enough to get it to float on the water. Rondoa: But I can do this. Rondoa snapped his fingers and Instinct and Makrius appeared next to him. Instinct hugged Kreag. Kreag: Good bye Instinct. Kreag Said the last of a prayer and hugged Instinct tightly. The Entire station hit the water but no water rushed into it. Kreag looked at Rondoa. Rondoa: This is not my doing. Kreag: I need to get to the hangar now! Rondoa: I can unlocke the bay doors from here and they should be open wide enough for you to get a glider out. Kreag: Thank you. Kreag flew down the halls and soon came to the hangar when he got into the glider he put his soul gear inthe power slot and flew out of the hangar at the speed of sound he turned around and a giant water vortex was holding the station up. Kreag: What in the... He landed in the hangar and went back to the command room. Kreag: There is a giant water vortex holding us up! Rondoa: Kreia! Kreag: She's doing this? Rondoa: Yes. And if she can boost us up we could even get this in orbit again. Kreag: This used to be in orbit? Rondoa: Yes. It was built there. Now restore power to the station and fix it. I will be back in a few minutes. They all split up. Rondoa flew down the halls and out the bay doors. He went into a dive bmb and dove into the sea in less than A minute. He swam to the center of the vortex and saw Kreia swimming in a circle and spinning along with three other aqueia. rondoa joined in and stayed next to Kreia. Rondoa: {signing} Kreia. We need you to speed this up. That station needs to make orbit. Kreia nodded and cast a spell on her and the other three aqueia. As they spead up Rondoa returned to the station and the command room. Instinct and Makrius made it to the Core of the station and the nucleus disappeared. Instinct: I'l boost its power by transmuting it with the sunlight that the station has covering the outer layer of it's metal. Makrius: Then it should be fully charged. Makrius created a ball of white light and gave it to Instinct. She clapped her hands together and touched the station and ball. A surge of electricity went through her body from the sttion to the ball and it grew to ten times its size. Makrius used his magic to push the ball into the center of the room. When it was in the dead center of the room four rings came down from the roof and held the ball in place. the lights in the room came on and so did the lights throughout the station. Outside, the thrusters came on. Kreag watched as the power levels climbed until they reached miximum. He walked over to a lever and pushed it up the column. The thrusters increased thrust and the station started to lift faster and faster untill the ocean was far below it then the vortex let go. Rondoa: Retract landing clamps. Makrius returned to the room. Makrius: We did it! Rondoa: Kreag! Pull that lever. Kreag pulled the lever and the lower half of the station extended three stories downward. Makrius: I may be of better assistance. Makrius typed on the hologram keyboard and the station began slowing down. Once they hit the vacuum the station completely stopped and thrusted to the left a little. The station rotated slowly until it turned completely around. All of them floated to the window and saw the planet. Kreag: Damn. What a sight. Instinct: You took the word right out of my mouth. Rondoa: Magnificent. I have never been in orbit like this. Makrius was at the console. He looked at the power levels. Makrius: Well you get to enjoy that view for the next day. Because we don't have enough power to open the bay doors. I won't be able to make another core either, I don't have enough energy. Instinct: Well then lets take one of the cores from a construct. Cause I want to get home. Makrius: You might be right. Rondoa: I'll stay here and send a message to the construct to extract its core to the station and call your transport back tomorrow. Bring some food back with you Makrius. The other three aren't coming back and we need to get the sentinel beam working before the bone dragon comes back to life. I have had a few quarrels with her before. But she is too dangerous. Makrius: I won't ask. Greda, Instinct, Makrius, and Kreag went to the hangar and as they walk in the core was being brought to the power room. They got into the Construct that they fixed and transformed it into the space ship. When it finished converting they bay doors opened. Kreag: Ok. Land in the Balicson river. Its clossest to the castle. We need to thank Kreia and her friends. Makrius: Who's that? Kreag: Sister to the new king of the High soaring kingdom. They reentered the atmosphere. Kreag: Reposition the staion at an angle three degrees upwards. The construct shifted and fire surrounded the front of it. After a few minutes the fire dissipated and they all saw that the castle had been lifted into the air by a large machine. Kreag: I thought that he would wait for me. The landed in the water and Averin came to greet them. Averin: Hey. You made it. I was hoping that you would be here sooner. Kreag: Yeah. Kreag stretches his arms legs and wings. Tumba: How did you get those? Instinct: It was a gift from me. Tumba: But how? Instinct: Alchemy. now where's the food? Kreia comes out of a small house carrying a large plate of fish. Kreia: You going to roast these or not? Averin: Lets greet Makrius first. Kreag: ...Wait a minute. Averin, you can't lift a pebble even if you used magic to make yourself super strong. Averin: Oh yes I can. Instinct: {whisper} Why are you being such an ass? Kreag: Could you guys give us a second? Kreag grabs Instincts arm and pulls her over to the side of the river. Kreag: Ok. How did they know that we were coming back to this spot. And how do they know Makrius. He hasn't even walked out of the construct yet. I say these aren't them. What do they smell like? Instinct: Sniffed the air then covered her nose. Instinct: They smell likea rotting corpse. If you got close enough you'd smell it. Kreag: I think we should get back on the construct. Kreia came up behind them. Kreia: Why do you need to get back on the construct? Kreag: We just left something back at the station. We'll be back in a few minutes. Kreia: Oh. Ok. They went back into the construct and shut the doors and locked all the openings. Kreag: Makrius! Makrius: Yes? Kreag: We need to leave now before they catch on. Makrius: Who? Kreag: They are not who we thought they were. Makrius: I'll take your word for it. Lets get off the ground. Kreia overheard them from the outside. Kreia: {in a hush voice} They know that we are not their friendsss. Instinct turned around at the door. Instinct: Guys we better hurry. They know. There was a loud bang on the door and Greda screamed. Kreag move Instinct! Kreag pushed her out the way and carved a cross on the door. Before he finished a claws went through the door. Instinct: Blood hunters! They saw a black, boney person with red eyes and little hair and long teeth that were all sharp. Blood hunter: Blood! Must have one now! I will kill all- Something hit her and knocked her down. ???: Hey! If you're going to kill them then you have to kill me first. Three othe blood hunters ran to the left of the construct and all three were sliced to pieces in minutes. Kreag Hid behind the door as footsteps came closer. ???: Its okay. They are dead. Kreag: How do I know you are not one? ???: Because I am not trying to get through the door. Now open it up so I can get inside before more show up! Kreag: ...Fine. Instinct, if its one of those things then get ready. Kreag opened the door and a half-dragon was standing in front of him. Kreag: Who are you? I am Danrei Vientorau. Leader of the third hunter clan. Who are you? Kreag: I am Kreag Joriss. Danrei: I'm not playing. He has been dead for thirty years. No what is your name? A bunch of blood hunter eyes appeared in the bushes. Danrei: Damn it! Get this thing airborn now! Makrius pushed the lever up the column and the Construct lifted off. Danrei climbed out and onto the top of the construct then back into it and closed the door. Danrei: There are none on the roof. Instinct: What the hell is going on?! Kreag: Uh, Instinct. Why so angry? Instinct: Ask me that question again and I will throw you off this thing. Kreag: Oh great. She's mad. Danrei: I will ask one more time. What is your name. Kreag: I told you. I am Kreag Joriss. Danrei looked at him for a moment then at Instinct. Danrei: Are you his lover? Intinct: If you even think about touching him I will- Danrei: Take your shirt off. Instinct: What?! Danrei: I said take it off. Instinct took her shirt off and Danrei saw the ouroboros tattoo. Danrei: You are uncle Kreag! Kreag: Uncle?! Danrei: This is impossible. How did you get here? You were killed in the first attack years ago. Kreag: Attack? What attack? MAKRIUS: Uhm. Kreag. I think that there is a malfunction with the core. Kreag: What? Makrius: If she says she is who she is, then that means when we reentered the atmosphere we jumped about a hundred years into the future. Kreag: Oh no. Will we be stuck here? Makrius: If I can make it to the core room then no. A loud bang came from somewhere deep in the construct. Danrei: Ah! there's the escort. Danrei took out a headset. Danrei: Tony. We've got a little surprise for you. Tony: We? Danrei: You'll see. Kreag: Hey Danrei. Do me and Instinct ever have a child? Danrei: You mean my cousin Berrick? Yeah. she gets pregnant a few days after you two are supposed to meet. How long ago did you two meet? Kreag: Thats kind of personal. Danrei: No it isn't. If you two don't have a child soon then we will lose this war. He is the one who...Who... Kreag: Who what? Danrei: Nothing. I've said too much. The construct stopped moving and Makrius killed the engines. Makrius: That should do it. Danrei: Lets go! Danrei opened the door and lead them into a hangar of a ship that was busy with a lot of people. Danrei: Welcome to the overlook station. She has been in orbit for fifty eight years. Kreag: Hey Danrei. What happens to our son? Danrei: ...I don't like to talk about it... A large man comesup to them. Tony: Ay! Yer crew needs a nice thank ye fer finishin the cannon. Danrei: Maybe later... Danrei walks away. Tony: Ye din't mention Berrick did ye? Kreag: Well excuse me for trying to look after my own child. Tony: Oh my. She hasn't been teh same since e' died. They were lovers for a time. But then e' din't make teh jump. Instinct: She told us that if we didn't have him soon then this war would be lost withou him. Tony: Ay. She told me bout 'em. And ye three too. It's been a long time since we had any new recruits. Kreag: Well if we ar to help then we name our ship. Makrius. If you will do the honors. Makrius: Why thank you...How about the serpentine mistress? Instinct: Sounds great 'dad'. Makrius: Why thank you I thought it- Wait! you called me dad! Instinct: Indeed I did. Kreag: Wait a minute. Mood swings. She hasn't bothered me about sex in a while either. She is a little too happy. Instinct: Well you kind of just ruined it. I was about to ask you if you wanted to take a shower with me when we were alone but... Kreag: Sorry. I'm just a little on edge here. But since you asked I think I will. Tony: Down teh hall at teh right of teh dock over there is an empty one. Instinct: Yay! Kreag and Instinct run off. Greda: Does it seem like they are a little desperate? Makrius: maybe. Greda: Well anyways. Tony, How did Berrick die? Tony:When we had teh first infection e' was helping us all get out of teh launch station. E' told us that e' was goin to stay behind and make sure we get to teh orbital station. E' was telling Danrei how e' loved 'er before e' was cut off. Really we 'ave no way of knowin if e' be alive an kickin. Greda: God, I love that accent. Tony: whoa whoa der lassy. I'm not lookin fer someone to be with right at teh moment. Greda: I don't care but one thing puzzles me. Why do people always say how much they love eachother before they die or go missing? Tony: I don't even know that 'n lassy. Makrius: Well we better find out what has been happening from Danrei. I'm sorry Tony but I can't understand half of what you're saying. Tony: Well ye can juss shove it up yer arse an die with itt der. Makrius: I'm not sure wether as to take that as a compliment or as an insult. Greda: {giggle} I am not kidding you. Everything you say just meks me want youmore and more. Makrius: Oh great. Tony: Well I know two people oo can 'elp ye two. Meet Tumba an Sohta. Tumba: Hello. I will be yourcaptain in charge. I was told there were four of you. Where are the other two? Greda: In the shower. Tumba: Oh they are in the showers, ok. Greda: No. They are in the SHOWER. Tumba: ...Oh, I see. Well then What are their names. Greda: Kreag and Instinct. Tumba: Kreag?! Greda: Yes, Kreag. Makrius: Through a technical error in the system of the construct we came in. We traveled about fifty years into the future. Tumba: O...k. Well then You won't be of any help to us because you need to get back to your time. Without Kreag's help the High Soaring kingdom will never be lifted off of the ground. Here take these passes and get some sleep. you could use it. Greda takes the passes and gives one to Makrius. Greda: Thank you. Greda and Makrius leave. Sohta: He's here. Your apprentice is here. What if he bites someone? Tumba: Lets just hope he isn't bitten yet. About an hour later Kreag and Instinct came out of the bathroom. Instinct took the towel off her head and let her hair go down. Instinct: Just as long as I can sleep outside I'll be fine. Kreag: We are on a space station in orbit. There is no outside. Man: Well there is the garden on the top floor. Thats the closest thing to being outside on the station. Though I don't know why you would want to sleep there. Kreag: Thank you sir. And we are people who prefer the great outdoors over the safety of a housing. Man: Ok. The man continues walking down the hall. Kreag: Well first we gotta- Tumba: Hey Kreag! Kreag jumps and puts his pistol to Tumba's head. Kreag: Oh sorry. He puts his gun up. Kreag: So how you been for the past fifty years? Tumba: Not a single person was bitten by me. What about you? Kreag: Well do you remember the day Instinct killed that undead vampire? Tumba: Yes. Kreag: Well its the day after that one that we mjumped to this time from. Tumba looked at Sohta. Tumba: He hasn't been bitten yet. Sohta: Whew. What a relief. Kreag: Well Instinct needs to make a trip to the doctor and I need to know where the garden is. Tumba: The doctor is on the third floor and the garden is at the top floor. There is an elevator in the center of the hall over there. Tumba points to a long hallway. Kreag: Thank you. Kreag and instinct head their seperate ways. Instinct goes to the doctor and there is three people already there in beds. Nurse: May help you? Instinct: Yes. I need to know if I'm pregnant. Kreag makes it to the garden and looks up through the window. The planet was now a deep red and had black spots every where. He looked at the garden and took a deep breath. The gardedn was about a mile wide and a mile long. It had trees of all izes and there was one in the middle that was bigger than the rest. It's leaves were in an umbrella shape and there was a big hole in the side of the trunk big enough for someone his ize to just barely get through. It was his tree. He went up to it and there wassomething engraved on it above the entrance.

Do not mock mother earth for she will get you back some day. -Kreag Joriss day 3 of the war.

He felt the rough bark of the tree and something sharp pricked his finger. he pulled his finger away and pulled the sharp object out. It was a large piece of glass with a piece of paper in the middle of it. He transmuted the glass off and unfolded the paper. It was a note from himself in the past.

What should have been done was never done. Do not ever leave Instinct alone. It will be the biggest mistake of your life.

instinct comes up behind him. Instint: Hey Kreag. Kreag: Yes? He turns around. instinct: Guess what? Kreag: You're pregnant? Instinct: Yes! Kreag: Thats wonderful news. Instinct: I've been pregnant from the first time we tried. Kreag: Well thats a surprise. Instinct: I know. Is that your tree from the plains? Kreag: Yep. And read what I carved on it. And...Here read this. Its apparently a message from my past self. Instinct read bothe of them. Instinct: Well something big must have happened. I'm getting tired. Kreag me too. They both got in the tree and went to sleep. Ten hours later they woke up and got out of the tree. Instinct: Hey Kreag. Kreag: {stretching} Yeah? Instinct: How do you think we are going to get back? Kreag: I'm sure Makrius will have already gotten that fixed by now. Instinct: Well I want to find out what happens to our child. Instinct sprints out of the room and into the elevator before Kreag could get his wings working right. Instinct clicked the lowest number and the doors closed. She looked to her side and Tony was standing there. Instinct: Ah! Tony. Just the person I needed. Tony: What do ye need lass? Instinct: I was wondering if you could tell me where Danrei is. Tony: She secludes erself in teh older parts of teh station. Which will be in teh inner parts of teh station. Tony hits the button in the dead center of the panel and the elevator stops. Tony: If ye want to meet er then this is where ye get off. The doors open. Tony: Be careful. Der be Blood hunters in these 'ere parts. Instinct: Thank you. Instinct walks out of the elevator and the doors close behind her. She walks up the wall and onto the ceiling of the hallway. Instinct: Gravity boots. They always work. Something passes by her. She clings to the roof and slowly draws her sword. The blood hunter looks at her and screams. it jumps at her and then somone shoots it in the side of the head. It flies to the side. Danrei: What the hell are you doing here?! Instinct: Look out! Instinct dives at her and impales a blood hunter behind Danrei. Danrei: Its not safe to talk here. Danrei grabs Instincts arm and pulls her into a small storage area barely big enough for them stand. Danrei closes the entrance. Danrei: What? Instinct: I want to know what happens to my child. Danrei: ...You want to know what happened to him...We were best friends. We played together when we were children. when we became adults and started looking for someone to stay with...He seduced me. We soon became lovers. Then...The war started. We fought together on the front lines, slicing througheverything they threw at us. We practically won the war. Then the blood hunters came. They just showed up out of no where. And within days the war between the three kingdoms ended and all joined forces. Soon the war became a struggle to survive. Instinct: There is an infection in the poison of the blood hunters then. Danrei:We don't know what it is...But that last day I saw him was the worst day possible.

Three years ago...

Sirens were going off and red lights were blinking. Danrei woke up and got up. Danrei: Whats happening?! Berrick: They've breatched the outer compound defenses! Danrei: Damn! Get the children and hurry. Berrick nodded. Danrei ran to the closet and got out her guns. Danrei: Thanks for everything uncle Kreag... Danrei put the holsters on and ran down the hall to the launching bay. Tony: Missy! We got a problem! Danrei: What?! Tony: The landing gear is still holding it down and the launch crew are already dead! Danrei: Then we won't make it. Berrick came up to her with two teenage girls. One was human and the other was a half-dragon. They all went inside but Berrick stayed behind until the door shut. Danrei turned around just in time to stop the door. She reached out to the door switch. Berrick: No! don't open it. I will release the clamps so that you can make it. Danrei: But... Berrick: I said no! Danrei turned around and ran to the command room. Berri ck turne around and ran to the launch control room and flipped the swithc to turn the com radio on. Berrick: Danrei, Make sure the children get a new home. He pulled a lever and the clamps released. The construct increased speed and blasted out of the hangar. Berrick turned around and three blood hunters blocked his path. Seven more entered the room and Berrick withdrew his claymore. Berrick: So its going to be like that huh? Danrei watches the com screen as blood spatters all over the window to the control room and blocks her sight. A tear runs down her cheek and she turns around. The two girls were looking at her with worried looks. Girl: Mom. Is dad going to make it? Danrei: {sniff} I can't let you see this. Danrei pulls the wire out of the side of the com screen and it shuts off. Danrei: But I can tell you. The last thing he did for us was to make sure that we made it out alive. Qerra, take this gun. Danrei gives the half-dragon girl a desert eagle. Qerra: This is granddad's. Danrei: It was handed down to your dad. And Erika, You get his sword. Danrei hands a longsword to the human girl. Erika: I will cherish it always. Danrei: These are the only things that your dad gave to me to keep. I told him that this is all I ever wanted. And they are what we now have to remamber him by. Danrei hugs them and returns to the command room. Danrei: Kill the connection. Man: Aye captain. Danrei: Tony, plot a course to the station. We aren't going back. Tony: Understood cap'n

Danrei: After that the girls never said another word. They pray in the morning, eat, and go back to bed. It just tears me up inside to see them like that. I don't know what to do. Instinct: I can tell you what you can do. Talk to your girls. If they have no father then atleast give them a mother they can love. Danrei: But what do i tell them? They hate me. Instinct: Take charge of them. You are the parent. Instinct opened the door looked around then climbed out. Danrei climbed out after her and they both made it to the elevator.

I had ended it there and moved on because of a damn writer's block. If you like it then say so. If you don't like it then do what that alien guy said and kindly go fuck yourself with a cactus. This is fantasy fiction. MY fantasy. And believe me. It's not that easy putting yourself in a woman's shoes. So if the women parts are crappy then I don't give a care. I am not a female. So suck it up and say somethin nice.

This was originally named Half-dragon. But once I found out that half-dragon's already exist I had to change everything. Think of a dragon that always stands up on its hind legs and uses its forelegs like arms. But they are actually arms. K?
