So here I am, holding Pandora, while rubbing her back, with her crying into my shirt, for ten minutes straight. While she is crying I keep thinking about this room. It’s very… orderly, by my definition at least. This room holds so much harmony, and yet chaos is everywhere. I don’t why she was trying to move that entertainment center, it is in the dead center of the room, at least it looks like that to me. But, maybe it’s not to her. I grasp her shoulders and gently pry her off, “Pandora.” putting my right pointer finger under her chin and lifted her head up so her eyes meet mine, “Please stop crying, it’s unbecoming of you.” I smile gently and soften the look in my eyes to try and calm her down. She responded with a slight chuckle and used her left paw to wipe her eyes, after that she looked straight into my eyes, even though they were puffy, they were still breathtaking and the smile she was sporting made her look even better. “Now, tell me what’s bothering you.”

“Well… that entertainment center over there is very off. For some reason, no matter how hard I try, I can’t get it perfectly center! I’ve been trying for hours!” she looks over to it and tries to stand up but I put my hand on her shoulder and stopped her.

“Whoa, slow down there hot stuff.” She blushed slightly at that, “I don’t see anything wrong with its placement at the mome-”

“Of course you don’t see it! Neither do I! But I can, I don’t know, I can just… FEEL that something is wrong. I felt it as soon as my dad brought it into the room earlier. He said it was a gift for me from him, but after weeks of getting this room just right...” She starts to tear up again.

“Hey what did I say about doing that?” I got a handkerchief from my H.O.M.E and wiped her eyes, “Now, why are those vase’s broken?”

She got a little upset, anger this time. “Because of that!” she pointed to the entertainment center, “It’s all because of that! As soon as my dad brought it into the room, hugged me, and left the room, everything has felt so… so-”

“Out of order? Kinda like the chaos and harmony went out of balance?”

“Yea... yea that’s a good way to describe it. After that brand new EC came in without any marks or scratches I felt like I had a little voice in my head telling me to fix it, next thing I know I’m pushing it around with two broken vase. I don’t know why my dad did this, he knows that I have this problem!” she starts rubbing her temples.

I know exactly why he did this, to get my attention. “Well I could help yo-”

Her eyes flashed with golden light, and very briefly I saw the symbols for chaos and harmony, overlapping each other in her eyes, “Really!?” she grabbed my hand and got VERY close to my face. After a few seconds I responded.

“... yes.” also yes, I’m most likely blushing. What the hell is wrong with me! I have never felt like this before, and I’ve been alive for longer than even I can remember!

“Yay!” what happened next surprised me. She grabbed my head and brought it down quickly to her chest, hugging me, while suffocating me between two firm yet soft holy grails. Good thing breathing is more of an instinctual habit, than a need for me.

After the hug she jumped up with a spring in her step, while I tried to calm down the spring in my pants. Ok now, dead puppies, kittens, old ladies, damn it’s not working. Wait… kissing the elf king, and there it goes. I stand up and rub my hands together and then clap, “Ok, where do you want me to push it.” I walk over to the side of the entertainment center that was facing the door and put my hands on it.

She started pacing around it, like a wolf circling its prey looking for a weakness in the form, “Very slightly push it.” I did as she said, pushing it about one inch forward from my position. “To much, too much, bring it back.” I brought it back about a centimeter this time. For about a hour and forty five minutes, I was doing this repeatedly, good thing I can’t get tired physically. after so long she closed her eyes and gave orders until finally, “ Ok there! Keep it there, it’s perfect!” she opens her eyes and I walk towards my right between the the entertainment center and the couch, as I was stretching I was tackled by Pandora. We landed on the couch with a soft plop. The mix matched beauty was hugging me with a good amount of force, but not enough to hurt or squeeze the air out of my lunges. As she comfortably hugged me she was also giving me… surprisingly nice nuzzles. I didn’t mind the actions at all, in all honesty I liked them. She lifted her head from my neck and looked at me with tired eyes, “Thank you.” she then scooted down my body and lied her head down on my chest, while wiggling a little until her body was on the rightmost part of me and on the couch. After that she wrapped her right leg around my legs, she stopped moving after she put her right arm on my torso and sighed comfortably.

“Uhh, what are you doing?” I ask in a confused tone.

“Going to sleep. Why do you ask?” she replies innocently.

“Because you're lying on me while locking my legs with yours.”

“That’s because I want you to stay, *yawn*, please, will you?” she rubs her head up against me… damn.

“*sigh* Fine.” I click my fingers and get rid of my shirt, jacket, sword, and shoes. I keep my pants because I feel more comfortable when I relax in them. I also keep my socks on as well because of a habit I’ve had from age one. Finally I take off my glasses while casting a P.B. (Pitch Black) spell and put it on a six hour timer.

I just lie there while Pandora falls asleep. The thing that sucks about this eye problem of mine is that it makes it hard to sleep since, even if I close my eyes, everything is still bright as it normally be with a decently lit room. But after many, many years of this, I’ve gotten accustomed to it slightly. I don’t require sleep, but I like to, because I get to say hello to my… well I guess he is a lot like a brother/teacher to me. Death.

I reopen my eyes to see the ruined plains I’m so accustomed to seeing. The grassy fields of swamp green and soggy gay brown, all withered with flowers of dark blues and desolait grays. The sky is black and the air is cold, the only light being the ashes that fall from the clouds that plum from the aged stone of a volcano in the background. I breath in the air and smell nightshade and hemlock, along with the smoke. I stare at the center of the plains and see a table, the table. It’s made from mahogany died ebony with red granite trimmings, the chairs were the same.

I walk over to the table and took a seat and blinked. On the other side of the table appeared a tall, lanky man in a black suit with a white dress shirt, a dark gray tie, and silver horse cufflinks. His hair was a pale off white and it was long enough to touch the back of his shoulders, his skin was a greyish white but young looking. His eyes are a vibrant orange, glowing almost, with lost of age and wisdom inside them. Finally on the side of his chair was a scythe made of vertebrae and and a bone blade, just by looking at it it feels me with both curiosity, dread, and acceptance.

He was holding his head with his left thumb and middle finger on his temples. He looked stressed out as he was writing in a black book bound in leather with multiple others that looked the same. he was using a silver quill.

I lean back in my seat and sigh “That looks like fun D.”

He chuckles slightly and with sarcasm he responds with “Oh yea, fixing the mistakes of my reapers is more fun than burning out my eyes every day with potassium nitrate.” he threw down his quill and started rubbing his face with his hands and then leaned back and supported his head with his left hand with his right elbow on the armrest “ But I can’t blame the guy, he was attacked by trappers after all.” He then looked straight at me, “ So you're going to be teaching my niece to control her power and mind… I find it ironic since you tried to help Harmony before you did the inevitable, That’s why you agreed to help Pandora isn’t it? By helping her you can try to fix what you failed so long ago.” He then smiled at me with a knowing look in his eyes.

I slowly clap my hands “Oh boy, The Great All Knowing Death strikes again! What next are you going to do, talk about how I got over my sister's death so easy? Or maybe how things have happened so quick around me, for example how in the span of a day my sister died, ended up being tricked by Chaos and sent into a new world, meeting royalty, ending up in Chaoses castle, and finding out Pandora has OCD, magic personality affliction, and she is a order stigma owner.”

He laughed, no howled at that “ Well I can explain all that. One, you have already accepted the death of everyone around you, two you are highly manipulative and can trick just about everyone around you, and play with them to the point they are like puppets, and three you're highly observant. The thing is you forgot the fourth thing that happened, heh heh.” he leaned forward placing his elbows on the table and grabbing his left fist in his right hand and lowering his head so his hands were in front of his mouth.

I mimicked his actions “ What did I forget?”

“Oh nothing too big, just the fact you seem to be drawn towards my niece.”

I recoil at that “ What!? What do you-, I just meet-”

“And she seems to like you as well. Come on stop acting like such a child, just admit you like her and get over this hurdle like all the others.”

“Those feelings don’t happen in a few hours!”

“ They do if you two are meant for eachother.”

I pause my thoughts and rewind “ What the hell do you mean? I just meet her.”

“Why do you think Chaos and Harmony never told you about her?”

I leaned back again and started rubbing my chin with my right hand while my right elbow supported me “ I’m not the best when it comes to socializing and I’m ok with children for only short periods of time before I get fed up. I mean they are nice and easy to manipulate, but eventually they just get boring and annoying.”

“ Do you know how entities are made? They are either born from two other entities or they just appear, but only one version of them exist. That is how me and my brothers, and my wife Life and her sisters came into the picture. Pandora was the creation of the Harmony and my brother porking each other like wild animals, like my son Purgatory. Their hasn't been a ‘pop up’ one of us in a long time until… well you don’t want to know your true age so, a long time ago.”

I start laughing at that “ Yea I’m an entity! And you're a mortal.”

“I’m being serious here Dust.”

“Then why are you telling me this now? Why wait all these years?”

“Pandora was the final test. We tend to be highly attracted to each other, but we only fall so fast for the one we deem right, usually our opposites or the one the multiverse deems equally as important. Now, she isn't attracted to her father so that only leaves you. You're probably thinking ‘why me and not some other entity’ well we have tried with both you. You have met other entities but never felt attraction to them, neither did she, so that means you both count as your opposites. She is Order, the perfect mix of chaos and harmony, but even I don’t know what you are. It has to be something that used to be wild and uncontrollable that has not had anyone assigned to it, and trust me, many laws and natural actions go unaccounted for.”

“This is why you siblings rarely talk to you, you never let any banter happen, you know what the other person is going to say before they get the chance to ask.” I put my head down on the table to attempt to take in all of this. What’s with this day? Also whoever is trying to get into my subconscious is going to be in for a rude awakening “So why does Pandora have both chaos and harmony? I can understand her having harmony but not chaos, it’s her father job after all.”

“Chaos is weakening.” I raise my head and look at him in slight disbelief, “ It rarely happens, but we can lose our power, not all, but mostly the important bits that are needed to do our job. I suspect Harmony dying may be the cause of his power lose… or Pandora being born. But I can’t give you all the answers, you’d get mad at me if I did.” he stood up and started stacking the logbooks, “ By the way, be ready for today, Chaos wants you to meet some VIP’s from that world.”

“Well that went by quick.” I stood up and stretched, the world around me was slowly being enveloped by darkness, “ I wonder If I will still be Pandora’s hostage when I wake up?”

D stops stacking the books “Wait, what?”

“Bye”

I wake up, yawn and stretch, not feeling anything on top of me. I re-summon my glasses and put them on before opening my eyes. Looking around I saw Pandora in a yellow bath towel, cleaning (mostly dusting) with wet hair. Over by the door were two trolleys, one had food (lots of meat, bacon, hamburgers, eggs) the other just had a normal breakfast of pancakes and some fruits. I sit up and lift my glasses while I rub my eyes.

“You’re up!” after I placed my glasses back in their correct orientation, I looked over and saw Pandora bring over the two trolleys and sets the one with the meat in front of me. She sat on the right of me and started eating.

I shrugged and took a bite of the bacon and found it to be cold, “You waited for me to get up before eating?”

“Yep! I know you like manners so I thought this would make a good impression on you.” she then rubbed her wet head up against my head in a show of what I believe to be affection.

I chuckle and snap my fingers, reheating our meals, “ Thank you for that. now let’s eat so we can get on with the day, because I have a feeling we will need the energy… “ we started eating and made small talk, you know about the weather, plans, the fact she was in nothing but a towel, the food, yesterday, etc. Half way through the meal I felt something brush up against my left arm, and then I noticed there is something wrapped around my waist. I looked down and saw her tail around me with the tip brushing up against my left arm. Why did I not notice this earlier? I’m usually highly paranoid, but for some reason, even with my heightened senses from years of watching everything, and everyone around me, I did not notice her tail… and for some reason I’m relaxed with someone else in the room. I’m never relaxed unless I’m alone in a room with only one entrance and no windows. But for some reason with her I feel… fine. I look to my right, “ Do you find this odd?” I ask questioningly.

She looks at me with a curious smile and tilts her head to her right, “What’s odd? Everything feels fine to me.” her tail shifts a little, not tighten, just getting more comfortable… for both of us.

“That’s what’s odd, we just met each other yesterday, but yet nuzzling, being half naked in front of each other, eating together, talking like we have always been around one another, sleeping right next to each other, this instant trust, and finally the affection… do you not question that?”

She scratched her head a little and then shrugged, “It feels good. Just… natural, and I like it! I like being around you. My mind is usually focusing on everything out of place around me, every perfection and imperfection, but with you around… my mind is clear, and I don’t want to regress.” her tail tightened protectively.

I was actually surprised by how protective she got just from the thought of us simply separating, but I also saw her fear. She fears her obsessions her powers gave her, but in her eyes it was a curse. But with me around it makes everything better. It makes no sense unless my aura is fixing her imbalance with balance… and her aura is fixing my paranoia and coldness. I’m actually being nice to someone expecting nothing in return! I’m not manipulating her, or trying to control her. The only way this big of a change can happen so quickly, in such a short amount of time is if… nope, just nope. “Hey where’s the shower?”

She lifted her talon and snapped, then on the left side of the room appeared another perfect door exactly like the one on the entrance. “Over there, towels should be under my bed, i will get you one.” she went to get up but I stopped her.

“No need, I’ve gotten really good at using my magic to be lazy.” I smiled and stood up, before being brought back down by her tail. She then grabbed me and and wrapped her arms around me while rubbing our noses together.

“I hope we get to spend more time with each other…” she said in a lo- I mean caring tone.

“Trust me, we will. Your dad and uncle want me to be your teacher, to help you with both mind and magic, but don’t get excited for every other student I have ever had ended up, hating me, fearing me, turning into me slightly, developing a personality disorder, suicide that one time, PTSD, and many more things. Pretty much, you have been signed up for something that has a small chance to make you, or completely destroy you. Are you up for that?”

“Well if you're the teacher, I think I will be alright, also, you know my uncle?”

“It’s a long story, but to sum it all up he is someone I go and banter with. Now, may I go to the shower without being held hostage?” she chuckles cutely and lets go of me.

“Get back soon…” I chuckle and shake my head slowly back and forth and stand up, making my way to the shower, I walk up to the door and grab the handle and turn it opening the door, I walk in, but before I close the door I look behind me. I see Pandora standing up while turned away from me… dropping her towel… I then shut my eyes and quickly shut the door.

*Inhale* *Exhale*

“Not going to ever forget that ass… *sigh*” I open my eyes to see a all white shower room with white octagon tiles all over the entire room. The shower was black and silver tub with a rain shower and was placed on the far side of the room. it was about ten by ten with a slightly smaller shower head, eight by eight. On the far wall above the tub slightly were two knobs, probably for water control. Finally there was a mirror on the door behind me and a drain in the middle of the room.

I snap my fingers and get rid of the last of my clothes, use the pitch black spell, and walk over to the shower. Using my magic I turn the knobs and test the water with my hand, I keep messing with them until I got the temperature right, scolding but not boiling. I step in and hiss at the burning pain, but eventually my body adjusts. “*sigh* What the hell… D can’t be right… but he is never wrong… all the signs are showing that our souls are… well… they are not matching wavelengths, but they are fixing each other. Any imperfections are fixed when we are around each other. She just accepts it, most likely because her father has taught her to give in to her emotions, which will make my job teaching her that much more difficult. An emotional stigma, is a destructive one. I’m going to have to put a limiter on it like I do with all the stigmas I meet… the Gleipnir seal. I got Gleipnir after I found Fenrir and freed him from it.

I walk out of the portal and immediately cast a heat spell, fuck it’s cold! I look around and see a ocean behind me with thick white fog on the surface. In front of me were grey jagged rocks the size of the Rockies from the looks of things it looks like they are surrounding something… something big. “It’s been awhile since I used my childhood tree climbing skills to good use.” I start my way up one of the rocks, using magic to reinforce my skin so it won’t get cut up. I might heal quick, but I still feel pain. After what felt like a hour of climbing I got to the top of one of the rocks and promptly scan the area “Ok this is an island, lots of rocks and skeletons, a mountain sized malnourished black wolf in the center, lots of water, broken chains… wait, what?” I look to the center and I see something I have never seen before, a HUGE wolf as black as the void, but its bones are showing through it's skin, like it hasn't eaten in a long while.

I draw my blade and jump down, increasing my speed as I fell staying close to the rock, before I hit the ground I drove my swords blade into the rock and put my hand on the back of the blade and slowed myself I stop with my feet hanging a few inches above the ground. I lift my sword with some force and dislodge it from the stone. I hit the ground gently and sheath my sword. I walk over to, what I suspected to be, the wolf’s corpse. His paws and torso were bound in a gold, silk rope that is tied off to a chain about four to five inches thick which was under a massive boulder… hmmm, this sounds familiar. A great black wolf of great size being bound by silk rope and thick chain, “Damn what’s the myths name… The Binding of- damn old brain remember! The wolf's name, Furor, Furios, Feurnir-”

“Fenrir... *growl*” says a very deep, and very hoarse voice behind me. I look in its direction and see a giant eye looking at me. It was the same color as fire. “Who are you, a new god! *snarl*”

“Holy shit your Fenrir… I don’t know if I should be happy, nerd out, or be in shock.” I say in aw.

“ANSWER!!!” he roared and the ground shook.

“No I’m not a god. My name is Dust, I’m a traveler, and I guess I’m in Asgard.” I start walking so I will be in front of him, instead of behind him so he won’t have to look back.

He squints his eyes and hums, “I sense no deceit in your words, but a lot of undermining, and yes this is my own desolate ‘home’ in Asgard. Now why are you here, Dust the ‘traveler’.”

I shrug “I just ended up here.” I kick up my legs and make an invisible platform under myself “Now why should I free you?”

He reeled back in shock, and then got angry and growled, “Don’t toy with me! First you you start hovering in the air, and then ask me as to why I should be free!” he starts foaming and the mouth.

I start playing with the Ulfberht sword in my hand, “Well since I just got the sword, formally stuck to the roof to your mouth, out as a show of my willingness to help you.”

He opened his mouth and ran his tongue along the roof of his mouth until he found the hole and kept licking it, “It’s gone… but how? You never came near my mouth, what sorcery is this!” he bellowed in shock, and I think some slight fear.

“Well I used my magic to destruct it out of your mouth and then reconstruct it in my hand, childs play to me… by the way I’m a mage. Now what can you do for me.” I say deconstructing the blade again to examine it more closely at a later date.

Realization struck his face at that moment, “You can free me… If you do I will give you whatever you ask of me. I need to be free… I need revenge.” he bowed his head to me. “Please, I beg of you, and I never beg.”

I scratched my chin then clicked my finger and placed my feet back on the ground, “Alright, I will free you, but, you owe me your soul after Ragnarok, and you must help me convince the other beasts to do the same.” I hold out my hand with my palm facing away from me, “Do you accept?”

He stared at my hand and thought, then he slowly leaned into it with his nose. For a brief second the world turned black and white, with the air getting colder, while a reaper bound our souls in chains and linked them. After that everything went back to normal.

I retracted my hand, “Now let’s find out how to get rid of this rope.” I walk over to his front paws and activated my stigma, and nearly went blind in the process. “Wow… this is the strongest seal I’ve ever seen.” I start deconstructing the magic to break it down into base parts to learn its makeup to see how I can break it.

Fenrir chuckles at that, “It was meant to be unbreakable, it’s the only thing that can hold me back after all!” he said with so much pride I nearly choked.

“Well hate to burst your bubble, but it is one of the weakest ropes I have ever seen. The only reason you can’t break it is the enchantments on it, they absorb all force and power exerted onto them and then seal it, weakening the owner of the power until the rope is untied. Even If I try to cut it, my sword would dull, even with all of its enchants. but luckily I can destroy it! But I have a short window to do so, let’s get started!”

I grabbed the rope and start channeling any anti magic spells I know… the pain was excruciating, like my soul was in a blender while I have my dick slowly skinned with a rusty scalpel. But I persevered until I got my opening, a small, almost unseeable hole in the enchant, after I saw that the rope disappeared, and Fenrir took a VERY deep breath.

His muscles started to gain form again, and his shriveled form stated to fill out, but not completely, his bones still showed, he has strength, but is still malnourished. “FINALLY I’M FREE!!!!!!!!” he bellowed as the ground under him shattered creating a creator as he stood to his full height. turning around he looked at me and lowered his head so we were mere centimeters away from each other, “How?” he asked.

“Well-” I stumble and put my hand on him for support, “Give me a moment.” I stand there leaning on him.

He squinted again, “You hurt yourself to free me?”

I nod, “Ya a little.”

His eyes focused and hardened, “Get on!” he lied down.

I start waving my hands in defiance “No, no, I will be fine.” I then buckled over, “Ok, maybe I will take you up on that offer.” I climb on top of his head and lied down. “Oh, I broke Gleipnir by making a hole in the magic surrounding it, then deconstructed it into small particles, which I roughly re weaved into a spell, I will perfect it at a later date. Now about Ragnarok… “

That was the start of that adventure, but that’s not my main focus. This world is dying, Chaos is one of its rulers, elves exist here, I have emotions I can’t control for someone I just meet that wants to give in to her’s, I have to teach her… and I’m apparently an entity!

“Hey, Dusty!” Pandora barged into the shower room, good thing I casted that spell, “I can’t see a thing in here.” she said slowly making her way into the shower room.

“Whats up Pandora?” I ask wondering why she was in here.

“I forgot to give you the shampoo, now where are you?”

I used my magic to grab the shampoo from her paw, and then made a path of light going from her to the exit, “Thank you, now can I take a shower?”

“Awww, can’t I join you?”

“What? No. Why would you ask that?” I ask while opening the shampoo bottle and pouring some in my hand. I then lathered my body, and hair with it, washing off the previous day.

She slowly starts to stalk forward “Because, the closer I am to you the better I feel~!” She purred.

The lights flicked on and the water stopped, I looked at her and saw confusion, but I know why. After all when someone goes from soaking wet and naked to fully clothed and dry in a split second. I might like Pandora but she has to compete with my magic. I then look at the rest of her and whistled. She was wearing a red and black striped, form fitting shirt with a V neck that was revealing, but not to much. She had on a silver necklace with a ring on it. The ring had yellow and blue crystals that spiraled, and it seemed familiar. She wore a jacket that looked almost exactly like mine, except it was more form fitting and slightly long tail and cuffs. Her pants were grey jeans, and like everything else, formed to her well. She also wore black slippers with grey socks that matched her pants.

“Hmm your clothes look familiar… I think it's the jacket.” I say while walking out of the shower.

She snaps out of it and follows me out the shower room door, “Your clothes look like the same ones from yesterday.” she snaps her fingers and the door to the shower disappeared.

I walk to the main entrance and open it, holding it for the woman behind me, “I have a signature look.” she has no problem using the magic she got from her father. I mean it’s rough but she can use it with no strain, so that means she needs lessons to control the magic she got from her mother. But she will need a stress test first to find her limit, and to reveal her stigmas primal state so I can place the Gleipnir Seal on it. The process is painful and it has killed a Gaia stigma user at one point… but she is stronger than that student. For some reason it hurts to think about putting her through that… what she will see… what she will feel… what she will have to do… *sigh*. The worst part is she believes it won’t be that bad.

We get out the door and I followed her lead. She went left. “The meeting room is this way.”

I furrow my brow, “Why are we going to the meeting room?”

She grabbed my right arm and held it as she walked, pushing her bosom against it, “My dad and my friends told me to bring you there!” she replied cheerily.

“Well lets stop at my room before we go, I need to get Clockwork.” I say changing course to my room.

“What’s that?”

I smile, “You’ll see.”

We make it to my room. I open the door and call out, “CLOCKWORK!” and out came the little sucker, flying around and making tweeting sounds that sounded like rubbing two pieces of metal together really roughly and in quick succession. I also noticed he was bigger… “What did you eat?” he was the size of a hawk now.

The this surprised me, “What did you eat now?” got reflected back at me.

“You ate my microphone and speakers you little shit!” I said half angrily and half playfully. I have a lot of speakers and mics in my H.O.M.E. but these ones had sentimental value to them.

The what do you know, “You ate my microphone and speakers you little shit!”

“Ok that’s enough. Now I would like you to meet Pandora.” I nodded my head in her diffraction, “And Pandora this is Clockwork.” I held my hand out in his direction. Clockwork then flew over to her and landed on her shoulder. Now I have a bird on Pandora's shoulder while having her head on my shoulder. “I think he likes you.” I say as we start moving again.

She giggles, “I like him too.” we keep walking for a good ten minutes talking about magic and how much she currently knows of it. She knows a multitude of spells taught to her by her friends, the princesses, and her father and many aunts and uncles. Fire spells, ice, mind spells, augmentation, reality manipulation, and something I was surprise she knew, a advanced time spell called Redo. To sum it up, it turns back time for a few second, ten max, it can cheat Death if used right, but for most users to get the max time out of it would drain most of their mana. This is good, now I know what her current potential is.

“Here we are!” In front of me was a pretty simple looking twelve by ten double door made of oak with heavy brass handles, and two minotaur guards standing on each side. interesting. They were dawned in plate steel armor, with some engravings of a draconequus in the center with a ruby and topaz were its eyes are. Around it was multiple different creatures ranging from ponies to elves and woodland creatures all playing and having fun while the draconequus watches… with a human with wings plated with gold hugs it from behind… *sigh*. I flash my stigma and see protection and strength runes surrounding the minotaurs originating from the gems and gold. Protection from the gold, and strength from the gems. “You can let us in boys, this is who they are expecting.” ordered Pandora. They nodded and each opened a door.

Inside was a room of white with pillars of marble, and gold trimmings. In the center was a long black table with multiple chess boards set up on them. At the very end was Cha- sorry I mean ‘Discord’. “Hello Dust, glad you joined us! Sit at the end there, my daughter can sit next to you as well!” he snapped his talon summoning a red velvet and ebony oak chair, just like all the others. “Now let me introduce everyone here. This is Magice, the wendigo leader!”

To his right stood a six foot, elderly looking, ghostly pale stallion with an equally pale long beard and long mane. He looked expressionless but behind his blue eyes lied judgment and patience. He was dressed in extremely thick furs ranging from all different types of arctic animals. On his belt was a worn, but fancy looking, axe made of bone and some sort of black metal. He also wore a blue and pink ribbon tying his long mane back and out of his eyes. He nodded and sat back down.

“This is Zar’day, the tree ant elder!”

To his left stood an eleven foot tall human looking being made of wood and bark. His eyes were a glowing green with a lighter green pupil. He had eyebrows made of braided twigs with grey and green leaves. He had a beard made of moss and grass, and hair of vines that went down to his upper back. He wore nothing but a simple necklace made of different leaves encased in amber. “Greetings.” he said in a gravelly, well used voice and then sat down in a huge chair.

“Next to him is Flock, the griffon king!”

On the tree ant’s left stood 4 foot proud looking gold and red Gryphon. His throat bared a huge, deep scar and he was dressed in richly fine clothes, almost as if he was vainly attempting to show off his race's wealth. He kept switching his amber eyes between me and Celestia on the opposite side of him, when he looked at me he seemed like he was trying to earn my trust, but when he looked at her, it was like watching a snake hunt a rat. On his head dawned heavy golden crown that almost looks like it's a part of his feathers. “Hello newcomer, welcome to our world.” he said with a cocky, proud, and mid pitched voice. sounded a little russian as well. He then sat down.

“You already know Celly,”

Who was now wearing a gown that was yellow at the top and stated fading to white as it went down the dress. She also wore a sun locket with an orange gem in the center and a gold tiara with a purple gem in the center.

“so meet the one next to her, Chronos, the elven ruler!”

When I saw this… thing here, i wanted to growl like a rabid dog and get rid of it. There stood a six foot one male monstrosi- I mean elf. His skin was a flawless porcelain and he had bright blonde hair that was completely straight and tied up in a ponytail, the tie was black. He wore robes of yellow and white with a silver sash that had different runes on it, all holy restoration runes made to protect and heal, but the heal runes are constantly on… ha. He had on a gold wedding band and a small crown made of silver with one onyx peacie in the center. He had on a disapproving look. On his back was a simple broad sword, but it was enchanted to hell and back. “Welcome.” he said in a monotone slightly deep voice.

“Now next to Flock is Emperor Nemean.”

Standing up was a six foot eight, completely ripped silver lion with a fade black mane that was braided and very long. He wore nothing but a gold arm greave that had a lions head at the shoulder and was detailed with other lions lining up in front of it like an army. On the same arm was an enchanted gauntlet that was also made out of some black metal and was shaped like a rams head on the knuckles. He also wore a brown leather studded skirt with a red undercloth. On his right hip was a gladius. His left eye was a faded murky blue grey, like what happens when you go blind, but his right was a strong royal red. He then walked up to me with a strong, powerful look in his eyes and stood about an arm's length away. We both started into eachothers eyes, challenging eachothers will, after a minute he smiled showing his teeth and stuck out his hand/paw, “Well met stranger. I like what I see in you, you're powerful, brave, and stand up for yourself, but you keep your circle of acquaintances small, but your enemies are many. You are intelligent and manipulative, but you only use your true power when it is needed. I’m going to enjoy having someone like you around.”

I grab his wrist, and he does the same to mine, “The same to you as well, its nice to meet someone who can read others with such accuracy, now it’s my turn. You’re someone who has seen many things, from the hardest of battles, to the birth of civilizations. You have lived a long time, most likely one of the oldest here. But you are not immortal, you can be killed, it’s just no one has succeeded because of your strong hide. Your leadership skills are unmatched, everyone around you instantly feel pride to be in your commanding presence, but that is also because you treat them like family instead of subjects or enemies. You like war and puzzles as well, most likely to keep your mind sharp. We have that in common, don't we?”

He laughed, patted me on the back, and walked back to his seat and sat down.

“That went well. Now next to him is Apex, The current pack leader of the wolves! He is still young, but his entire species wanted him to lead them.”

Now next to Neiman stood a five foot four, untamed and untested looking, silver wolf with dark highlights that stood out from the rest of him. He wore only simple pants leaving his upper body free from any form of clothes. His messy and unkempt mane had a single eagle feather tied to one of his locks. His eyes are a mix of red and yellow, and they truly showed his youth. “Hello sir.” he said with the voice of a teenager.

“How old are you boy?”

“Thirteen sir, and before you ask, yes I can make big decisions.”

I smile, “Good, but that’s not what I was going to say. I was going to ask if you get any free time to be a child?”

He scratched his ear, “Yes and no, but I have a job to do.”

I nod in understanding and he took his seat.

“Now next to Chronos is Nava, the nymph queen!”

Standing was a five foot nine, elf-like woman with green skin. She wore a rose colored lingerie like dress that showed off her feminine looks and hourglass curves, and double D’s. Simple, but effective, she looked like sex with class. Her hair was a crimped dark black. Her eyes were also a dark brown with a constant look of attraction, like she was trying to lure me in, to put it simple, she is a nymph.

“Let’s get along, Dust~” she cooed with a sultry voice that pulled on the strings of my inner male instincts… she’s good.

“Yes, let’s” I nod, and she sits.

“Now next to her is Fairy Lord Eboron!”

Standing on the table was a two foot ten, cream skinned fairy. Looks like he is from the leprechaun tree from his proportions. He had rich, Irish green eyes and the smile of a con artist, gold canines and all. He had black nails and kinda large hands for his size, like most of his kind. His ears were long and pointy, much different from the elves ears. His suit was a nice pinstriped tulip blue and dark green with a blue tophat with a dark green belt with a gold buckle. He also had a nice white undershirt and black bowtie. On his fingers were gold and silver rings that looked like they told a story, but I had a hard time understanding it, going to ask him later. Since he is the first pair of feet I could see, he wore black shiny clods. If there was anyone in this room I was more nervous about, it would be him. Fairies have ridiculously strong magic for some fucking reason. They could even match an average stigma user in power. “Hello there, we all must come as quite a shock, but don’t blame us, Celestia was the one who made us all flock.” he said in a cheery irish voice. “Don’t worry, we will be nice, or we will all pay the price. Discord told us to take heed, or you will do a harmful deed…”

“Well if that were to happen, you have the best chance out of everyone to survive, haha.” I joke knowing a leprechaun’s craftiness. He then laughed and stayed where he was.

“Next is the behemoth next to Nava, Faas kenlik do tiid, the dragon King!”

Through the huge balcony window came a dragons head, about the size of the room I was given… so that explains the size of this room. He looked aged and battle worn, but very wise and regal. His scales were black with a bronze center, but they were few and all that was under them was a gold skin. He had great ivory white horn s that curled like a ram. His eyes were a piercing blood red. “Ahnok rovaan... Zu'u mindok bok fod Zu'u koraav nii, vos mii tun un onikaan ahst zuspein zahtiid, waan hi vis mindoraan zey tol los.” he spoke in a rumbly, aged voice.

I smile at the sound of the dragon tongue, “Ov zey, mu fen.”

“Hmmm, interesting.”

“That’s my line.”

Discord clapped “Alright almost done, now next to Apex is Eve, The kitsune Empress!”

Now off to the right stood a five foot eight woman with red fox ears and nine red tails. Her skin was a pure white and her hair was black and was long, going down to her mid back. She had two locks tied with red ties in the front on each side of her head, with the back hanging freely down. She is wearing a black kimono with a dark purple trim and belt. It had a pink falling cherry blossom design I couldn’t tell her bust size because of the kimono, but from what I can see she is a C cup. Her eyes were a bright orange and were captivating. She bowed with a smile, then blew me a kiss, and giggled.

I smile as well, “Why thank you, I am honored to receive such a gift from a creature as lovely as you.” her face quickly flushed and she used one of her tails to hide herself. She is old, but yet she gets flustered by such a simple complement… either she is good at playing her part, or I’m not the only elderly child here besides ‘Discord’.

I felt something wrap around my leg and squeeze VERY tightly. I wince slightly and act like I’m rubbing my eye so I could look down without raising suspicion. I end up seeing Pandora's tail squeezing the hell out of my leg. But when I looked back up I move my eyes in her direction and she seemed fine… after so many years I still have a hard time understanding females of any species.

“Alright, we only have two more left, no next to Eve is Chrysalis, queen of the changelings!”

Standing at about six foot two was a bug like version of a pony with short dark black fur and light green catlike eyes. dress in an long free flowing earthy dress that speaks volumes on her maturity, looks, and grace. Hanging on neck was a gold heart pendant with small green emeralds that form a flame on the hearts center. Her mane was long and was a mossy green with some black and blue mixed together. She has big bug wings and sharp fangs that show. “Well you sure are interesting aren't you?” she said in a multi tone voice that was… nice.

“Why would you say that?”

She chuckled, “I can feel the emotions of everyone in this room, I can taste them to, but for some reason I can’t sense anything from you… you are either dead, a machine, or really good at locking things up. Since you are talking and you don’t seem like a machine you are just good at hiding yourself. So Dust what might you be hiding?” She ask sitting down with a triumphant grin.

I laugh at that, “ I just find dealing with emotions to be a chore, I also don’t like others knowing what I’m feeling or thinking, it gives too much of an advantage to beings like you.” I give her a look that said ‘you will never win’ but she kept her composer and that shit eating grin pissed me off… so you taste and feel emotions, well I can enter and fuck with minds. Keep it up and you will suffer for it.

‘Discord’ uncomfortably chuckled “Ummm… well let’s move on to the final introduction. If you look to your right you will see next to you Strong Heart, The Minotaur Lord.

Next to me was an eight foot tall grayish blue Minotaur bull clad in bronze, spartan like armor and wore no arm greaves. Doing so showed off his ridiculous arm muscles. Seriously, he is a BEAST! His arms are covered in tattoos that cried ancient battle curses, runes and art all mixed together to tell a story, and be of use. Scanning them with a flash of my eyes I find they essentially weaken the enemy's mentality, inducing fear, paranoia, and insomnia. If they happen to escape by any chance they will be cursed with crippling PTSD and at a later stage, suicide… damn. But to allies it’s different, it will boost morale, increase split second thinking, heightened senses, and gives a pain resistance. SH, you are built for war. His horns were sharp and were strangely an ivory color. Now finally his eyes are dark in color nearly pitch black. “Stand with me.” he said in a Braum-ish voice.

I raise an eyebrow at the request but I do so and step to my right a few feet and he did so as well. We were now in front of each other, “May I ask wh-” I was cut off when he grabbed me in a bone obliterating hug!

“HAHA, welcome to these lands strange mage! I hope to share many tales with each other and drink our body weights in spirits together!” he bellowed with cheerfulness. He then let go and I fell to my feet.

“Damn big guy, uncle, uncle!” I rub my back and laugh, I actually like him so far. He is a kind giant.

He then grabbed me again this time putting his arm around me and grabbing my right shoulder with my left side connecting with his right, “Imagine it, sitting in bull bar with hardest liquor, chating our tales and chanting our songs of adventure!” he said while slowly bringing his outstretched left hand from right to left.

“Sound like a blast, by the way I can regenerate my injuries quickly, but I can still feel the slowly breaking ribs and right humerus, no may we sit down and get through this so we can make your plans come true?” I say, trying to appeal to reason.

He grabbed his chin and looked down and hummed in thought, “Hmm, you make a good point, and I do feel something cracking… alright then, later we will do, what the children say? Oh yes Hang Out!” he let me go and I hissed when he patted me on the back. After that we both sat down in our respective seats.

“Alright that’s everyone!” announced ‘Discord’, “Now then, Dust, Celly here had some concerns about you and came to me with them, so to appease her I called a meeting-”

The elf interrupted, “You kidnapped us.” he said bluntly crossing his arms and giving Discord an unamused look.

Discord shrugged, “Same thing. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, I called this meeting of the world's most influential leaders so we may discuss these concerns and banish them! Or just make things worse.” he shrugged again, “Now while you were on your way here we brought up topics that everyone wants addressed, like how you are going to be training my daughter, you past, your motives, who you are going to side with, if you are evil, what are your tastes in the opposite sex, what you eat, your power, your intelligence, where did you come from, what you truly are, are you a good lover, if you're married, how old you are, and many, many more questions like that! Now then, what do you say about answering some questions?” he said while making a question mark over everyone's heads but Pandoras and I.

I take a moment and rub the headache in my eyes while contemplating why this shitload of information and events is being dropped on me in such a short amount of time, for it is starting to aggravate me. I mean stuff usually happens quick around me, but holy hell the amount and scale of it all in only a day and a fourth is way more than I’m used to! I sigh and inhale deeply while clasping my hands together on the table and promptly exhale, “So, how can I help you?!”

Author's Notes:
