Sometimes my hobby can really interfere with my sex life. It had been really frustrating to pursue such diversion as I was just getting heated with the older twin dragon as the others slumbered peacefully.

And as of the current time, I was surrounded by tall structures that limit the view of the dark skies. I was sitting on top of a warm "breathing" creature whose face was currently being seated upon by my tooshie.

Pinky's presence was patchy as he alternatively appeared and disappeared with the flicker of bright blue and electrifying light.

"Woah woah woah!" came from a man with a darker shade of skin color. He was wearing many layers of clothes which were similar to the clothes being worn by the man under me.

"Im raeg si degamad," Pinky stated in a foreign language as he tried to take control of his presence.

He was unsuccessful with his attempt when he disappeared permanently and left me with two unfamiliar men.

"Woah, um, can we help you? Are you guys extraterrestrial thangs that are trying to blend in with the human race?" the darker skinned man questioned as he extended his hand towards me for help. "Please don't be Pennywise and bite my hand off like what he did to that kid who was just tryna sail his paperboat."

I heard a muffled voice below me and felt the pressure of someone trying to get me off.

That was rather rude. My tooshie was just beginning to get comfortable in that position. This man didn't even ask if I wanted to get off of his face.

"Nephew that was not a rude gesture, actually, you are the rude one for staying in such position that could have suffocated him. You should apologize," uncle scolded.

"Alright uncle, I'll apologize if he agrees to let me sit on his face in the future. In that way, I'll call it quits."

I heard uncle sigh. "What am I going to do with you?"

I grabbed the offered hand and rose on my feet and the man who I was sitting on before sat up and shook his head. "Is it me or is your ass really flower scented?"

"Dude, what are you doing butt naked in the middle of the night? Your balls will fall off if you make it a habit! Hey Edward, get your ass up and help me with this guy. Should we go see the police and ask for help?"

Edward stood up and glared at me before proceeding to look at his companion. "I rather not help a guy who is on estrogen. Only a guy taking estrogen can have a butt that big," he stated with much venom in his voice.

Was my tooshie that big?

I tried to take a peek behind me but I ended up circling on my feet in attempt to take a glimpse of my back that he deemed 'big'.

The darker-skinned male groaned. "Don't mind the idiot. He's homophobic. My name is Ethan and whatchu doin' naked man? Here have my coat," he offered and placed his royal blue coat over my shoulders. "And do you know the dude that flickered like a light-bulb in a horror movie? Are you guys aliens or are you on to that Scientific experiment in your college Science fair? If you are, count me in! I rather stick witchu guys than to have this bitter ass dude complaining about how gays should die even though they're just tryna live their lives."

Edward huffed and rolled his eyes. "If you read the bible then you would know that being gay is a sin!"

"Stop with the bullshit Edward. If you read Twilight then you would know that Edward is the name of a blood-sucking vampire that glowed when the sun hits him but do you see me stripping you off your motherfucking clothes and place you under the sun just to see if you shimmered and shit?"

Edward stormed forward and shoved Ethan in rage. I do not get much of what they were saying but I will be siding with Ethan since he was kind enough to give me his clothes that I do not need for I enjoy freezing in the cold weather with nothing but my skin to protect me.

"It is better to blend in nephew. Act normal," uncle advised.

Normal?

How will I do that?

"The bible is different from all those cheesy shit that you read. It gives you the truth in life. It leads you to your salvation-"

Ethan smacked his hand over Edward's mouth and swished air out of his lips to silence him. "I said shut that motherfucking trap of yours man. I don't need bible lessons from a person who got an F in our Religion test exam. And watchu mean salvation? If I had a son at the age of 100 after waiting for so damn long and after having a woman who can't reproduce, I ain't gonna sacrifice him just because some old cranky ass man in his bathrobe in heaven tells me to do so because it's gonna glorify his old and hairy ass, hell no! My mommah raised a sane grown ass man who knows the difference between crazy and non- crazy! So you can keep that crazy bible talk of yours off my black ass and save it until you get admitted inside a mental institution!"

Edward pried Ethan's hand off his mouth and shoved him more forcefully this time. "This is why you're one of those sinners. I can't even swallow the fact that you're my friend," he bitterly spat.

Ethan let out a 'tsk' and rolled his eyes. He placed comforting hands on top of my shoulders and moved me on my feet as we faced away from his friend. "Yeah, spitters are quitters as they say and you my friend, already resigned from living a life. Go back to the dorm without me. I'm gonna get this lil' dude some help."

"Yeah sure," Edward stated with his voice cracking a little. "Go with that faggot of a whore. Let's see who's laughing when Judgment day comes."

I heard Ethan chuckle a bit. "I will be and with all my brothers because we gonna grill barbecue. Heaven will be running out of fire so you'll be eating uncooked food for a bit. Take a chill pill Edward."

The argument finally died down just as it was getting more amusing when we left Edward. I took in the foreign sight and the rough floors. The humans really let the world go dirty with all their creations. If Lusceviel was here, he could have thrown a tantrum. Compared to his fathers, Lusceviel kept himself clean and he kept the things around him tidy.

Due to my discomfort in this coat I took it off of me and handed it to Ethan. "I am fine without one; I do not want to wear clothes."

When other humans saw me naked, they looked at me with startled expressions. Ethan smiled at them and then re-wrapped the coat around me.

"Sorry, my friend here is drunk and he stripped in the club. We couldn't find his clothes!" After saying that out loud, Ethan put his face closer to mine and whispered forcefully. "Dude you gotta work with me. Whatchu mean you don't wanna cover your white ass up? Are you a descendant of Tarzan or something? The dude got no choice since he got stuck in a gorilla ass island and what's your alibi? You can't walk around the streets at night butt as naked. You're a pretty ass dude and even animals get raped because of drugged sickos. Look I ain't judging your preferences but I'm just being a good human being who's concerned for your well-being. Where do you live? I'm taking you home," he spoke and ruffled my hair.

My lips twitched at his genuine concern. Even my uncle agreed that Ethan was a good man. "You are a nice human. I don't see why my son wouldn't let a human live with us."

Ethan's face twisted with confusion and a bit of fear was in there. "You know, I'm leaning more on the fact that you're an alien and that my life is in danger."

I gave him a short-lived smile. "Do not worry. I do not harm the lives of those who are worthy of possessing life. Although there are instances in which I cannot control nature which caused the death of many lives, I myself, do not desire to harm others."

"Okay...?" My kind companion stayed quiet for a bit as if he was thinking of something before confessing something quite interesting. "With all the supernatural shit that Edward and I are going through in our dormitory, I'm not really surprised if you're some kind of an inhumane thing that has been stalking us these past few days. What happened earlier can't be some kind of Science fair project." Ethan stopped walking so as to face me seriously.

"Tell me... What are you and that dude that vanished?"

"I do not think that it is safe to tell him what you are nephew. We don't fully know him."

I tilted my head to the side which seemed to make Ethan nervous. "What is the harm in telling him what I am uncle? What's the harm in telling them that they are not the first ones who walked on these very lands?"

The smell of something rotting caught my attention immediately and Ethan groaned.

"Damn it, did someone take their garbage out after a year? That stinks! I gotta apologize to Edward for saying that his socks smelled like hot garbage."

A strong blow of the dirty winds drifted passed us and the trees around me warned me of an old enemy. The sound of screams alerted Ethan and the other humans close to us. Ethan had to grab my wrist in a tight grasp in order to keep himself together. The scent of rot became even much stronger and the strong whirl of the familiar dusts started to make the buildings from afar crumble. Humans began to run away.

"Oh God no, holy Christ we gotta get outta here man!" Ethan announced and attempted to pull me but I hooked my feet on the ground.

"I shall stay here," I spoke. "I need to stop this or else your people will die."

Ethan looked at me with disbelief. "You're not human?"

"I'm not human," I replied.

"Are you sure you can handle whatever shit is happening without dying?" he asked me again.

"Yes, I shall live. I still have a family to go home to. They are waiting for me," I assured him which caused Ethan's expression to soften a bit before taking me into a quick hug.

"Don't die you hear me? Gotta go blondie!" he stated in a hurry and ran away and looked back to wave at me one last time.

I waved back at him and watched him go before finally facing an old enemy that belonged into a once respected race. They were the fallen ancients. They were the death to all lives.

My eyes widened when a growl of a werewolf sounded in the midst of the mist of black dusts. Fire erupted and accompanied the dark particles and I found the cause of this disaster lunging forward towards me with its rotting flesh. It was indeed a werewolf that was possessed by a catastrophe. It was a fire werewolf.

"Watch out!" I heard someone shout and an icy shield formed in front of me which blocked the werewolf from getting near.

"Lucius....I have a bad feeling about this nephew."

"Yes I know, only oniisan had the stone which caged the catastrophes so why is there a being possessed by one?"

Had oniisan turned against us? I would like to deny it but the obvious evidence made me think otherwise of denying such thinking.

A brown haired man with heterochromatic eyes ran towards me behind the protection of the ice shield. "You have to leave this place. It is dangerous."

I shook my head at him in disapproval. "I am not human. I shall stop this creature. It cannot roam the lands and cause destruction just like what it did thousands of years ago."

The man looked at me with interest. "You know this creature? I'm pretty sure that it was a werewolf that belonged to the fiery pack. I don't know what happened to it to get this amount of destructible power. Do you know how to stop this thing?"

I nodded at him. "Destroy the vessel and don't let its soul touch you or it'll possess you."

The stranger nodded and then created another shield when the possessed werewolf blasted the first layer of shield. I slipped on the coat that Ethan left me with to show my gratefulness for his kindness and so that I can keep it as a remembrance for the first human that I have interacted with.

The newcomer and I split ways and the soil cracked and moved at my command. Spikes of rotting soil burst out and the fiery wolf immediately dodged. Sharp icicles that pierced from the ground were controlled by the stranger and I commanded the soil to meet the icicles with its own sharp rise to trap the werewolf. With the last icicle and the last sharp pointy and rocky soil that consumed the last space in stand, the werewolf was still alive.

"This is strange. Catastrophes that managed to possess a creature cannot use their powers if the said vessel is not an ancient. How is this one managing to use its rotting power?" Uncle pointed out.

"Let us figure this out later uncle. This is much troublesome."

"Yes, it's quick on its feet," uncle commented.

The buildings around us were already being consumed by decomposing dusts making them near their crumble. The humans who were caught in the midst of the rotting atmosphere were weakened by the dusts as they gasped for clean air. The particles were also affecting me but my companion didn't seem to be affected as much. He must belong to a strong race. I let the winds carry me and I landed in front of the rotting origin of death.

I placed my hands to my side and I controlled the zephyrs to carry the winds upwards just to spare the lives of those who had the chance to live. The werewolf growled and a pressure of fire was produced that went straight towards me and could have burned my form if not for the thick ice that immediately saved me.

The rotting particles dispersed and I heard the sound of something propelling in the air. I looked up and found something flying above. The werewolf looked at the same direction and then a whip of fire rose from its body which quickly melted the icicles that were about to harm him and then extended above to quickly destroy the propelling object in the sky. I heard the object explode and emit fire from afar.

"I can't use my vines to trap it; it'll only burn them with the power of fire that it possessed."

"Use Earth," uncle advised.

I concentrated on its movement and immediately let my wings grow out once I realize that it was coming for me. I soared above and watched as the stranger initiated physical combat with the werewolf. I commanded the earth to trap the werewolf's legs which gave the stranger an advantage to give him continuous strikes of his fists and legs while at the same time, avoiding being bitten by the werewolf.

Our adversary erupted with blazing fire which caused the stranger to be hit by such energy. He leaped back and had his affected body parts which were burnt to the bone cover up with ice. I formed a stone in my hand and placed it inside my mouth just to make sure that I do not lose it though as long as the stone was near, it'll suck any vessel-less catastrophe.

A teenage boy appeared and made grabbing motions to the ground. He was holding the creature's...shadow?

"Now Prince Alaster!" the boy shouted and the stranger lunged forward and had a sharp icicle form on his hand.

I spat the stone that I kept in my mouth just in time for 'Prince Alaster' to have his icicle pierce through the werewolf's head. The soul that was about to latch on to either the Prince or the boy was immediately sucked inside the stone that then dropped to the cracked grounds.

I landed firmly on the ground and watched as the ice melted and freed Alaster from being connected to the dead catastrophe. The teenage boy released the shadow and I picked up the stone.

Now where do I throw this?

I should give this to someone who bears a grudge to his lover's ex girlfriend.

"That was an easy catch. I can't say the same for the next ones..." uncle said.

"I will hope that there aren't any 'next ones' but seeing that faith is created by an insane tik, I will stay alert," I replied. I looked at my companions who were observing our dead adversary. Prince Alaster then diverted his gaze to the stone that I was holding.

"You're an Ancient aren't you? You're an Ancient that our Ancestor Caleb has spoken about."

I tilted my head at him in question. "You know Caleb?"

Alaster smiled in a friendly manner and bowed with his fist against his chest but our conversation was cut off by humans.

Creatures who shouldn't even know that we existed.

I do not understand why Lusceviel didn't want our exposure to them. Were they that bad? My criteria for bad was Wye Fye. Can someone from the humans reach that respectful level?

"Shit, so are you guys gonna tell us what you people are?" I heard Ethan speak from behind us. Ah so they were still here.

The youngest among the group raised his hand towards the two humans. "Must destroy," he muttered with no care whatsoever.

"Shush Sciath, we do not harm humans," Alaster scolded and then smiled sweetly at the two. "We will take our leave now but I must first erase your memories."

I had my eyes on Edward and then pointed at him. "I give you permission to destroy that one. His existence is meaningless at first glance. It makes me question why I even saved the world in the first place. I should have let it rot."

"That's cruel nephew."

"Reality is cruel uncle. That's why we have tiks scattered all over the world."

"No no, no one is hurting anyone. Drop that hand Sciath," Alaster stated in a warning tone before returning his attention back to the two men. "Now, let's erase those memories. Forgive me but it must be done."

My eyes busied themselves with the rot occurring around us. I was restless. I need to purify the land before I grow insane.

"Woah hold on a minute! We won't tell anyone. Just tell us, what the hell are you guys?" Ethan questioned.

"This is a bad idea Ethan. Let's just go before we get involved into a deeper mess!" Edward snarled.

"You want to know what I am Ethan?" I questioned with my lips twitching in excitement.

Maybe it was time to live with the humans and show them how life was before. Maybe we don't have to hide from them.

Maybe it was time to merge the supernatural with the natural.

I let my wings dissolve from my back and concentrated my powers on my feet. Light swarmed the rotting soil which silenced the bickering that was about to start. I started to give a hearty laugh and let the zephyrs whirl around and purify the air. Plants from the land of Eli grew to life and the sweet scent of flowers flooded the area. Tall and mighty trees rose in pride and claimed the place of the tall structures that once stood before. The humans that managed to survive the attack look at the growing plants in awe.

They have tasted the power of death so it was only fair for them to taste the power of pure life that they have never witnessed in this era. I halted the flow of my powers once I was assured that no evidence of rot was left.

I returned my attention to my companions. "I belong to one of the races that walked on these lands before your ancestors," I spoke and smiled at them.

" I am an Ancient."
