*Chapter 24: The Extraordinary Is In What We Do Not Who We Are *

April 9th YOE 35

5:35 AM The she beast's chambers (Castle Wundagore)

A she beast prepares for he morning Essence of Winter....

My open admissions about myself I made yesterday pervaded my thoughts into the spring evening and the overnight. I continued to ponder this as I was spooned by my perfect person.

Her paw played with my scrotum as she attempted to gauge how much jizz my testicles had produced since our last coupling. When that failed to get a response, she turned me over placing my face between her cleavage.

Here is one of the strongest, most fiercest warriors in all of the empire trying to seduce me- yet I remained soft.

"Something wrong pet?" She asked rumbling. "Perhaps our morning workout should be more PHYSICAL?"

That reminded me of that time at the Maximum where Bertha, Spirit and I were talking after sex. I was laying face up on the former wrestler's torso and Spirit was laying on me. He was comparing our penises. I remember how he was fascinated that human genitalia was not enclosed within a sheath. He placed his on mine. I think that was the first time I realized his penis had two tones.... Kinda of cute.

"I could bite you and rake my claws against your back and buttocks!" My warrior bear cackled bringing me back to reality.

"You say something mistress?"

I asked too late.

*CHOMP*

"Owie!!! What was that for?"

"I noticed yesterday evening during our 'quality time' you were just going through the motions and this morning you seem quite uninterested." Was the golden eyed she beast's observation.

"I was?!"

"Perhaps you have grown bored of loving and gentle sex and would like to move on to something more AGGRESSIVE?"

"You mean like S & M?" I gasped.

"Sometimes on the battlefield a warrior may need to change tactics." The bear said cracking her knuckles. "It is the same in the bedroom."

She watched in amusement as my eyes went wide. Quite wide. "No!! No!! Soft, loving and gentle is just fine!" I replied flailing my arms.

"You are rather flat this morning my human." She opined.

"I can fix that!" I replied crawling toward her. I then gave that bear's snout a long kiss. Her paw made its way down my chest, stomach and to my groin where she touched my boy bits again."

It took a little coaxing but she did receive her Essence of Winter. As I came down from releasing my male milk, I contemplated nuzzling, licking, kissing and sucking on her tits, but her communicator went off.

"Good morning Lord Tiger."

"Morning Lady Ursa. I am sending you and Lady Vermin on a hunting mission."

"Sir?" She replied pushing me to the side as to not show her superior who she was sharing her bed with or that she and I were in our birthday suits.

"I think we have identified one of the routes second class citizens are using to depart the empire. I want you two to investigate, take action and report back to me."

"Yes sir."

"You are to meet up with Lady Vermin this morning at 8:00 AM sharp." The commander of the Knights of Wundagore replied ending the communication.

"Wow." I replied.

"I think we should start the day or I could bite your other shoulder if you would prefer." I felt a paw and its claws lightly rake my bottom.

"By your command my overseer."

6:35 AM Morning shower...

I blanked out again while we were bathing, staring off into space as my she beast lathered my body with soap foam.

"We will have to see to that wound Alex."

"You mean love-bite?"

"Yes... yes... pet love-bite."

"Mistress can I ask you a question?"

"Sure." She said moving down my back.

"Do you think I am a bad person?"

"Where did that come from?" She asked trading glances we me.

"The last year and four months of this one."

"No. Alex you are shy, kind, fiercely loyal and a person of integrity." My she bear said Turning me around to work on my front. "But that loyalty can lead to misguided actions."

"You mean questioning the High Master about having Spirited Spirit de-evolved and punishing the residents of the hidden colony?"

(Which still angers me to this day.)

"Yes. During my time as a beastial and in the service to the master, I have come to realize that humans have in-born self destructive tendencies that need to be kept in check otherwise..."

I stared at the nude female bathing me.

"You believe that?"

"I do, Sir Ram, Lady Vermin, Lord Tiger, Sanda, Lea and I would suspect even Sorren, Tauren and Lurie. I thought you did too as evidenced by what befell your world- Gaia."

"I suppose...."

"Beastials are the high master's foil to humans who need to be guided, directed and if necessary controlled. Isn't that why you supported the empire?"

"Yeah- not perfect but better than the government it replaced and far better than what was going on my world."

"Yes hence the tracker tracers, the curfews and the current overseer system." My mistress said as she finished. She then turned so I could do the same to her.

"So if all human citizens would just fall in line...."

"The empire would be even stronger for it." She said as that beautiful ass of hers tempted me especially that nubby tail.

That was certainly profound but not absolute there were some that didn't like their current station in life or being dominated by the beastials hence all the rebels groups and factions that were crushed last year or the new rebellion that was launched as well as the humans trying to leave the five cities and the High Evoluntionary's control.

I was still lost in thought as we finished bathing, dried off and made our way to the great room.

7:23 AM Breakfast....

"Here you go pet." Lady Ursa said placing a plate in front of me at our high table near the kitchen.

I was too busy processing to notice.

"Alex? Alex? Pet?"

"Yes mistress?"

"Something wrong? You seem to be worlds away." The fierce female warrior dressed in a white shirt and toga observed. "Was it our conversation in the shower?"

"I was just thinking about my session with Sir Ram yesterday."

"Did the good sir knight give you much to think about?"

"Yeah. I learned somethings about myself that I didn't know before. He did too about me."

"So you are progressing then. I feel that there is a big but coming..." She replied setting the high table.

"Yeah my session with him was weird. He seemed less agitated, tolerant and even nice for someone who despises humans. It was not as intense as the previous sessions, it was open and relaxed; a Q and A."

"Perhaps he is amazed at how far you have come? The pre-rebel tendencies you were exhibiting are lessening to some extent. Now eat your breakfast before it gets cold." My overseer ordered me.

"Whoa you made breakfast?!" I said looking at the three waffles with honey and syrup on the white plate in front of me. "What is the occasion?"

"There doesn't have to be an occasion. I just felt like making you breakfast. Now eat!"

"Yes master." I replied.

Lady Ursa watched with interest as I devoured what was given to me like a good, obedient, docile, subservient, beta male.

"Good. Now clear the table." She ordered me.

I took the dishes into the kitchen, washed them by hand and met her in the hall.

"Good human." She said addressing me.

"Arf arf." I replied sarcastically. "Since I am progressing does that mean my sessions will be coming to an end?"

"That will be up to the High Evoluntionary pet."

(That explains a lot. Well it least it isn't a no.)

"Despite the amount of time that has passed, he is still mad at you."

(That was a no. Definitely a no.)

I helped her put on her uniform, retrieved her side arm and sword from the closet and gave it to her.

"Have a good day mistress." I said seeing her out.

"I will try but with things as busy as they are, there is no way to guarantee that."

As she was about to depart, my bear placed both her paws on my shoulders and kissed my forehead.

The pain in my shoulder made itself known.

"Sir Ram is in meetings all day today so he won't be meeting with you."

"Really?"

"Knight business and science business and projects. So perform your chores and after that..."

"I have some free to myself?" I smiled.

"I want you to re-read our high master's rules for human citizens." She said turning to depart.

"Yes overseer."

(Oh geez.)

So per the usual I started cooking and then cleaning the lair top to bottom. My daily chores as it was.

9:39 AM I was interrupted....

I was dusting the great room when the hub monitor activated. It was an incoming message- a request to join a game. I remembered the one I played with Sorren and another Ursa and I played with Corbin some years ago. But my overseer had curtailed my free time activities, so I declined. The request was made again and again and again each time I declined. I got tired of seeing the request, so I finally accepted.

The great room disappeared and I was immersed into what looked like a small bar and grill restaurant. From where I stood at the entrance there was a long wood bar with red stools to my left. Behind it was a wall of drinks and concoctions from the floor to the ceiling. Behind the red stools four circular tables with black chairs with red padding.

"What type of game is this?!"

That was when a familiar redhead waved at me from the farthest table.

"Alex!"

"Iya Summers?! What are you doing here? What is this place?"

"The only way we can realistically hold a conversation given that the fuzzies have you on lockdown."

"Nice game." I commented looking at the wooden floors and walls."

"It does appear that way doesn't it? Why don't you sit a spell?" The former soldier was dressed in a black full length body suit with a few pockets.

"I like the realism and the detail. So what is the goal of this game- driving? Fighting? Roleplaying?"

"No it is just a restaurant."

"Oh." I said disappointed.

"So what did you find in the knight archives?" She said leaning on her arms and looking at me seductively.

"Mr. Cancel was the victim of the hover vehicle accident and was set up to take the blame- initially."

"What about the hammercock, the instigator of the accident? Was he ever found?" The former soldier from the Alliance faction asked.

"The knights were able to track his movements after he made off with the healer's rescue vehicle; he was found and fined."

"A slap on the wrist compared to Mr. Cancel.... Typical." Iya replied.

"Mr. Cancel was excused of causing the accident but was judged and punished for being in an area and time he wasn't supposed to be. According to the records- he was released."

"Not true Alex. He is still missing, no one from my community has seen him since the day of the accident."

"Curious and since the tracker tracer system is down, no one can find him." I added.

"His apartment is unoccupied, has been for weeks. What are his last known whereabouts?"

"Where he was taken into custody- here. You believe he is still a guest of the knights?" I said locking gazes with her. She nodded. "To what end?"

"There has been some weird activity by the empire in recent days. Augustice and I noticed these weird small orange bobbles being installed on some streets corners here in World One."

The female showed me a image she recorded from her cube.

"Some new communication relay?" I asked. They were about the size of a softball.

"If so why is it being installed in human populated areas?"

"Good point. I will keep my eyes open. And thanks for the pain suppressors they came in handy."

"Glad to hear that." Ms. Summers said patting me on my shoulder.

"OW."

"Looks like they have warn off. Hey, are those bite marks?"

"Oh that, it is a love bite from my beloved that was not patched up correctly. I guess I will need to go see my healer. I will reach out to you if I find anything more Iya."

"If that is a love bite, I wouldn't want to see what a hate bite is." She responded ending the program.

"Just one of the side effects of being in love with a beastial I suppose."

Just like that I was seated in the great room in front of the monitor. Feeling the pain in my shoulder, I decided to finish dusting later.

10:12 AM Dark Forest...

"I have so many bad memories about this place." The bear replied to the rat.

"If my hunch is right someone else is about to as well." Lady Vermin said motioning to Lady Ursa to land their hover bikes.

"Ok where to?"

"Our quarry's tracker tracer went off line right around here." The rat lady said sniffing the air.

"But my lady that was weeks ago." The bear also said sniffing the air.

"You smell that right? I suspect that they were hiding in plain sight." Lady Vermin sat down on the ground cross legged and took in the scenery- the plants and trees starting to bloom, the rustling of the wind, the forest starting to come alive with critters coming out of hibernation. It took a while before she saw it, but she saw it. "There."

The bear cocked her head sideways. "Well I will be, a shack about the size of a RV strategically hidden."

The two made their way over to it and pounded on the door. A woman who appeared to be in the twilight of her years- grey hair, wrinkled face answered the door.

"Abner! We have guests!"

"Gladys who is it?"

"Two knights.... A rat and brown bear."

There was an audible gasp from the woman's mate that could be heard all the way to the front door she had opened.

"Abner and Gladys Sunset you are in violation of the statute settlement." Lady Vermin began dressing down the woman.

"We are? No we aren't!! We are on vacation!!" She protested.

"Doubtful. Humans are not allowed to travel anywhere outside the empire without permission." The warrior bear said correcting her.

"Punishment for violations are quite severe. Does your overseer know you are here?" Lady Vermin asked.

"Did they approve of you leaving the empire without authorization?" The she bear asked cracking her knuckles.

The woman's silence spoke volumes.

"DIDN'T THINK SO." Lady Ursa and Lady Vermin said in unison reaching for their weapons.

"ABNER!!!!" The woman screamed to her husband.

*SPLOSH*

There was a momentary white flash. When the female knights could see again they were covered in this white gunk which limited their movements sticking them to the ground.

They watched helplessly as the shack converted into a six wheeled RV and sped off.

*VROOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*

"They are rather spry for a elderly couple." The rat lady commented while her companion struggled to get free from their predicament.

*GRRRR.....*

10:32 AM Lea's Lab...

As I headed out the door I started to notice the orange bobbles Iya was talking about in the hallways of the castle and specifically toward the science wing.

(I hope Lea isn't busy.)

As I approached the door to her lab. I pressed the announcement button.

"Come!" I heard Lea's voice reply from the other side of the door.

"Hi Lea I am in need of a little patching up. You see I got a few more love bites than I anticipated with my mistress this morning." I started to say as I entered the lioness' lab. "I hope that you aren't too busy...."

Apparently she was. Lea was wearing a pink top and blue slacks under her white lab coat and she was fixating on a blond hair blue-eyed human strapped to horizontal - vertical platform at the end of the room.

"Oh Alex!" She turned around in shock as if I interrupted something very important.

"HELP!" The man whispered to me.

It was Aldor Cancel!

"I thought you locked down the lab!" A big horned sheep said walking into view.

"We were still waiting for Mara." Lea responded.

"Yes, that's right." Sir Ram replied. He was dressed in a one piece black body suite underneath his grey lab coat. "Our sessions for today have been canceled boy."

"Actually I was here to see Lea." I stated, again as the man pleaded for me to help him.

The lioness looked at the ram and the ram looked at the lioness.

"Yes... yes I can help you with that!" She running to a nearby drawer. She picked up a triangular scanner and ran it over my shoulder.

"No, the other one Lea."

"Slight puncture wound. No infection."

It took her less than thirty seconds to scan my shoulder and even less time to close the bite marks.

"There good as new." She replied forcing a smile.

"Thanks." I replied as there was an awkward pause between the three of us as my attention was directed back to their test subject who seemed that he was about to participate in a medical procedure... unwillingly.

Just then a goat lady entered the lab.

"You are late my love." The big horned sheep said.

"The preparations took some time." Mara replied. "Well if it isn't my favorite test subject!"

"Hi Mara." I said greeting the wicked goat lady.

"I think we are finished here." The sexy lioness said prodding me. "You should leave.... now."

"Please, I have paid for my transgressions all I want to do is leave too!" The man pleaded.

"But you are home Mr. Cancel. Consider it volunteering for the greater good." The beastial knight replied.

"Sir Ram?" I asked looking at their curious exchange.

"You have to use direct commands my dear." The beastial scientist said correcting his assistant. "You will return to your home, resume what activities you were performing before coming to this place and forget what you saw here today."

"Yes." I replied walking out of the door and into the hall. The man who was their unwilling volunteer immediately faded from my mind.

While on the way back to the lair I met a dear friend of mine.

"Hi Alex! How is it going? A red dragon wearing a cafeteria apron smirked as I started to walk by him.

"Sorren."

"That leash that Ursa has around your neck isn't too tight I hope?" The goofy dragon asked.

"........."

Off put by my lack of response he decided to move on.

"So what are you up to this morning?" He asked digging for answers.

"I am returning to the lair to resume my activities I was performing before I left it....."

"Hmmm....." The dragon replied watching me walk away.

And so I returned to the lair and continued the rest of my duties. It was after mid-day when I was watching the hub news that I noticed the scrolling text on screen seemed to be addressing me.

Greetings Mr. Winter....

"Deer-feeder."

"At your service."

"What do you want?"

"One of my operatives told me that the knights released Aldor Cancel shortly before he disappeared."

"Operatives?"

"Iya Summers. She works for me Mr. Winter."

"That also means Auggie works for you too. Wait, they are a part of the new rebellion?"

"We are the change that we wish to see Mr. Winter. Speaking of change I think that the time has come for you and I to meet."

"Why?"

"We believe the empire is working on a secret project to ensure the complete control and complete subjugation of the human race once and for all."

I stared at the scrolling text in disbelief.

"Aldor and you have unwillingly been involved in their efforts."

To Be Continued....

[MEANWHILE]

April 9th YOE 35

5:35 AM S'mar Nation- Three Rivers Pride Territory (Chaundoon)

"Step lively ladies." The stocky warrior said leading Annette and Naomi to the three rivers in the pre-dawn darkness.

In the light of the three moons. Naomi could just make out the square backside of the warrior who wielded two hammers as his weapons of choice. She watched as it jiggled and wiggled as he moved about.

"Master Hammer we appreciate your escort but should you really be up and about?" Naomi asked trying not to blush. His backside was rather handsome.

"Did you not express to our chieftain that you feared for you safety girl in light of what happened?" The warrior groaned as he stopped to turn and face her.

"Um, yeah."

"That is why I am here. Slaves that feel safe and secure are productive slaves." Hammer replied.

"I think what my friend is trying to say master- is that you were wounded in yesterday's battle shouldn't you be resting and recovering from your injuries? You were singed after all." Annette said rather politely.

"That wrestling move you performed on that pyron was incredibly impressive! You were like Hammer SMASH!!! GOWARRR!!!!" Naomi said nearly gushing.

"Thank you human. Despite that miscalculation and the injuries I received, I feel fine." The savage replied grunting and returning to lead the females in the darkest hours before dawn.

"I think he is trying to walk it off." Naomi whispered to Annette.

"I can hear you." Hammer groaned. His burnt fur was starting to get to him.

"Master?" The female with the flower in her hair asked realizing he was hiding that he was still in pain from the burns he had received.

The two females watched as their guard doubled over as his groaning increased.

"Master Hammer?" The freckled teen asked running to his side.

"Naomi! Get back!!" Annette ran grabbing her co-slave by her hand. Just in time too.

*FOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

There was a large puff of smoke and when it had subsided the S'mar warrior became a walking blow torch!

"AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"

Ok, a crazed running blow torch.

Naomi and Annette watched as the newly formed fire being ran through the forest into the drylands.

"Uh what just happened?!" Naomi asked grabbing her friend's arm.

"Master Hammer succumbed to his injuries. He is one of them now."

"The blue flame... now that is different." The teen observed. "Well at least he is headed away from our pride."

"To terrorize other prides." The nude feline with the big breasts and wide butt watched as the vegetation around them was set ablaze.

9:39 AM Infirmary (World Seven)

"Shilo you gave Basil and Club quite the scare emerging from the facet like that." The shaman said as I examined our latest refugee to take up residence within the city.

"Sorry about that." The liquid in the wooden bucket replied.

"Psi, I can't make any sense of these readings. It would help have helped if we could of examined him before he got sick." I replied.

"Something destroyed his cohesion. He can't maintain a solid form at all." The bare chested grey dragon replied as he stuck his paw inside the bucket feeling up our patient. "Shilo, how are you feeling?"

I noticed that he was wearing a round white kilt with that blue stash that Penny likes.

"Weak and in-cohesive." The puddle replied.

"When did you start feeling this way?" The shaman continued his line of questioning of the water sprite.

"Do we even have to guess? It is the imbalance." I replied running the triangular scanner over the liquid again.

"Most likely, but I don't want that to become the blanket excuse for every little malady that befalls us." Psi said to me.

"Well until we have solid evidence I am going with that theory." I replied setting the triangular scanner on the table near a window. As I did, I casually looked out of the window that was facing the front of the city. There weren't as many refugees flooding the city this morning but there was this weird procession making its way past the knights and sand dragons guarding the city's entrance.

Psi noticed that I was staring out the window at something and came to join me.

At its center was a damaged blue coupe hoisted up high and being carried by four stone folk. It was immediately followed by eleven more included their leader ambassador Umebo. The whole thing reminded me of a funeral procession for the dead.

"No!!!"

I darted past Psi, and Lilly Blossom who was examining King Dragon. The three watched me run out of the infirmary and down the stairs of the central tower and on to Main Street.

As I approached, the four rock creatures lowered the blue coupe to the ground it- was smashed, dented and battered like it had gone through the fires of hades itself.

After the prototype was placed on the ground, its cracked dome opened up and a female bear and female lioness stepped out.

"Hello pet." Lady Ursa said assuming a heroic pose like she was a long lost warrior returning home from a decisive battle.

"Thank the stars!!" I ran to hug my perfect person. "When you two went missing, I feared the worst!"

"We knew you were waiting little cutie." My devious person replied making a 'do me right now' face with seductive eyes.

I ended my reunion with my bear knight with a deep passionate kiss. I then jumped over to my leonine healer and did the same.

"What happened?" I replied hugging my lovers again.

"We were in a place we could not leave." My bear replied.

"Where?"

"We don't know but it was beautiful, peaceful and very tranquil. The stone folk were there too." Shakara added.

"How did you get out?" I asked looking at the ambassador.

He shook his head.

"It was Angi." My warrior bear replied. "She guided us out."

"Our Angi?" I asked as Lady Ursa drew her sword and pushed me aside. "Yes."

"How is that possible? She is in class right now." I said watching my she beast making her way to Una's and Rose's school.

"What is here living among us is not Angi." My lioness said placing her paw on my shoulder.

"Shakara?"

I watched as Shakara pointed to Naka and Mattimeo who were watching the entrance to the city. "You and you she needs back up! Now!"

10:12 AM General Assembly (Una's and Rose's School)

"Alright everyone settle down." The female naga said to the joint session of her class and her fellow teacher's class.

"The votes have be tallied and the majority of you voted to use the hour system to address thirty six hour days here on Chaundoon." The black female bear announced.

"We will present the results of the poll to the colony council." Ms. Una added.

"Aw, I wanted to say 36 o'clock just once!" Yogi shouted.

"I think that would be quite weird." Little Gia signed.

"Thirty six hundred hours does sound better." Kip replied.

"When does this take effect?" Corbin asked.

"Most likely before the end of the year." The female snake lady replied.

"Most fascinating." Angi said examining the audience present.

"Hey Kiwi, Naka's here." Mia announced.

"Not again! I thought he was going to stop that!" The boy gasped as the Wild's son and daughter smirked.

Song and Naka had kept a very close eye on their boy since his mysterious abduction and return weeks earlier. Naka still had it in for the beings that had done this to Kiwi.

"Wait is that Lady Ursa, Mattimeo and Ambassador Umebo with him?!" Little Corey added.

"I don't think they are here for you." Yogi replied, as Kip, Corbin, Little Gia, Mia and Little Corey looked on from where they were seated.

"Lady Ursa when did you get back?" Ms. Una asked as the assembly was interrupted.

"There is a matter of urgent concern that needs to be addressed." The knight replied. "Angi I need you to come with me."

As Lady Ursa said that the dragon warrior and the maned wolf made their way into the audience and grabbed the teen.

"What is going on?" She asked.

"We are taking you to the infirmary." Naka announced.

"Ms. Una, Yogi this concerns you as well." Mattimeo announced.

10:32 AM Medical....

I ran the triangular scanner over the former faux beagle while her guardian and adoptive brother looked on. She was flanked by Mattimeo, Naka, my perfect person and my devious person.

Outside of medical a crowd formed including those who worked in the central tower and residents of the city as word started to get out.

"Alex?" The bear knight asked as I gave the scanner to Shakara.

"All readings are normal; I am looking at a healthy teenage girl." I replied as Shakara confirmed the readings.

"One who longed to become one of us." Naka added. "She has been like that even when she was with my group."

"What is this about?" The teen on the examination table asked curiously.

"Oh you know what it is about whatever you are." The red eyed lioness said locking eyes on to the teenager.

"I was wondering that too?" Ms. Una said placing her paw on Yogi's head.

"Ms. Una, Yogi that sitting on the table over there and who has been living with you two for the last four months is not Angi." My bear knight said.

"How do you know that madam knight?" The young yeti asked.

"Because we ran into her where-ever we were." My lioness added. "She is no longer human."

"Really?" Naka asked.

"She told us that she swapped bodies with another creature at the Midnight Festival late last year, so now she looks like it and it looks like her." My fierce ursine warrior replied.

"What does she look like now?" The maned wolf asked intrigued.

"A brownish-tanish canine, feline, lizard creature with fangs, claws, paws and a tail." The lioness added.

"Well it isn't a mimic- they copy their targets- not swap bodies." The sand dragon added.

"I am Bine of the Eeth." The thing in Angi's body finally admitted. "It was a fair swap. Angi likes my body and I like hers."

"She told us that over and over." The lioness replied.

"And over and over." The bear added.

"There was an additional condition she had to live among Eeth and I among you." The being said as Una and Yogi gasped.

"I thought there was something 'off' about you." The manufactured toy said frowning. "You seemed to know a lot more about the planet than the rest of us.

"Why did you not say anything to anyone?" Ms. Una said staring down the thing that was in her ward's body.

"Um, it was a trial period? The fact is Angi and I have decided to make the swap permanent she is what is the human expression? Tickled pink. She didn't like who she was and longed to be something else, someone else. Now she is experiencing life among my kind and I am among hers."

"Permanent?" Yogi gasped.

"PERMANENT. There is something about this form- it is caporal, weak, frail, defined, limited. It is without fur, fangs, claws, paws, tails and other natural defenses- IT IS INCREDIBLE!!"

(Gee, thanks.)

"During the four or so months that I have lived among you, I have observed your struggles- the pain, misery and suffering you have experienced- the suffering everyone has experienced as part of the imbalance and I have a proposal...." Bine said smiling.

11:22 AM Throne Room....

An obvious bead of sweat dripped down from the brow of the stone folks' leader as he was about to receive a dressing down from the leader of the sand folk.

"Ooga ooga ur....."

Duchess Jua was silent but grinded her teeth as she was awash with anger and emotion.

The colony council members in attendance Song, Basil, Haem and Shira wondered if there was going to be all out brawl in their makeshift council room.

"Jua?" Sorren said he approached his beloved.

"Your majesty?" The beautiful chakat asked growing concerned.

Just then doors to the throne room opened up. In walked Angi followed by Lady Ursa, Shakara, Naka, Mattimeo and myself as well Masha who immediately approached King Dragon and whispered something to him. Sorren's eyes grew wide.

"Umebo we have much to discuss." The dragoness said redirecting her attention to her beau who was looking at the Eeth in the teen girl's body.

The she dragon joined the he dragon as they gave their attention to Bine.

"I have been brought up to speed regarding the Eeth in Angi's clothing. How is it that no one discovered this until now?" King Dragon asked those present.

"It was Angi and my secret your majesties." Bine replied bowing.

"The human girl where is she now?" Jua asked.

"With my kind as a- how do you say it? An ambassador of good will." The being said smiling. "As I am with her kind doing the same."

"King dragon, Shakara and I spoke with Angi at length. She is loving her existence and is in a good place." Lady Ursa said addressing all present.

"I examined her in detail; she is the happiest we have ever seen her." My lioness added.

"Exactly where is this good place?" Sorren asked curiously.

"URRRR...." Umebo said passionately.

"It is a place of peace and tranquility." Shakara said remembering the endless blue skies and white clouds.

"We were trapped there for sometime and would still be had it not been for Angi showing us the way out." My bear knight replied.

"The plane of tranquility." Bine replied stepping forward.

"The what?" Haem signed.

"Think of it as our backyard." The thing in Angie's body said snapping his fingers.

In that instant the throne room, the central tower, all the buildings and World Seven itself were transported to that which the being was talking about.

11:40 AM Prison Pit....

*UGGG*

*OHHHH*

"It looks like Mathias and Axe have returned back to normal. Hue replied to Cassia.

"What happened to the sky? Wasn't it red a moment ago?" The yellow tentacled eyeball said to the red.

"What happened? Why am I restrained?!" The feline warrior asked.

"I think I know... we succumbed to the crazy." The sand dragon said to the savage.

11:43 AM Throne Room...

"I have observed your city's and the surrounding kingdoms' struggles over your so called last few months. Many have grown afraid as the imbalance has increased and are looking for any kind or refuge. In this place we are immune to the effects of all that is going on."

Everyone present from the rulers, to the council members, to the knights, medical staff and the ruler of the stone folk took a good look at the zone.

"It is really calm and peaceful." Masha said to Basil.

"Indeed." The prehistoric cave bear replied.

"And quite lovely." Song said to Naka.

"We understand Bine that you have a proposal for us?" Jua said crossing her arms and frowning.

"The Eeth can make what you see permanent- alleviating your city from the imbalance the planet is now experiencing- sentient weather, hostile creatures, abductions, disappearances, missing gravity and the crazy for a price." Bine replied kneeling.

The throne room grew silent.

"What is this price?" Shira asked the being in Angi's body.

"Dawn Stern, Corey Collins, Mia Wild, Corey Wild, Hue Wild, Oliver Justice, Theresa Branch, Kiwi Goodfellow, Alex Winter, your groomers Milton and Melinda and their newborn child."

"Huh?" The bear with the grey muzzle asked.

"They want our humans Basil. All of them." Sorren replied.

"What?!" I gasped.

"That's right, give us your humans... all of them." Bine said standing.
