Chapter 1
Realm of Sey Eneerg
Fourteen years later - Present Day
August 20th, 2044
-Main POV: Misha-
Those fucking whores forgot my birthday! Misha paced in her room. From the bed with pink silk sheets to the window covered by the light purple curtain and back. Rinse and repeat. The soft, blood-red colored carpet silenced her stomping.
It was eight o'clock at night and Misha had not seen or heard from a single one of her friends. They all lived together in their coven home, yet she hadn't seen any of them for the last few days. She thought they were planning a surprise party for her twenty-first birthday however, as the hours of her birthday ticked away, it was becoming apparent that was not the case.
Kat, a water witch that is literally the Queen of the Dragons, had left the house a week ago saying that her dragon babies were hatching. Then she texted in their group chat that some of them were sick and she wouldn't be home for a few days.
Evee, an earth witch born as a valkyrie, had taken off the next day without a word. A few hours later, she texted the group that Kat needed her help with the dragons.
Phoenix, another witch born as a valkyrie and the Queen of Fire, and her mate Trinity, the Queen of Air, are Goddess only knows where. Misha saw them yesterday but that didn't mean they would be nearby. Phoenix has the ability to flash, teleporting to any place she has seen, even if it was just a picture of it. Ever since Google was created, her destinations have been endless! All she has to do is visualize the location and poof! They're there. Even though they are the coven leaders, they are often nowhere to be found.
Beatrix, half water witch and half siren, had left a week ago to deal with a "siren emergency," She at least messaged earlier to tell Misha happy birthday and that she wasn't going to be able to make it back in time.
Misha stopped pacing and walked over to throw herself onto her bed, releasing an aggravated sigh as she bounced. Her phone sat on the nightstand beside the bed, silent as an unconscious midget. She sat up and snatched the phone off the nightstand. She opened the group message and typed: “Dear whores, fuck all of you with a dirty broom stick! Y'all suck! Can't even answer your damned phones! ON MY BIRTHDAY!!! Seriously, where the fuck are y’all?”
“Message sent” her phone read. She threw it on her bed, stood up, and walked to her dresser. Her reflection stared back at her in the mirror that sat on top of the mahogany dresser. She hadn't dressed up. She hadn't even put makeup on. Her pale green eyes criticized her.
“You're right. Fuck them. I'll go party by my damn self!” Her pale green eyes flashed a deep amethyst. What the fuck? She stared into her eyes but they remained green. Had to have been a trick of the light. She dismissed it and opened the shirt drawer. She grabbed the first one her hand touched and pulled it over her black tank top. It was a form fitting pink t-shirt that said “the party just arrived!” Perfect. She bent down and pulled on her black and pink sneakers.
Ping! Ping! Ping! Misha raced over to her phone.
Trin: “Hey sorry Misha, Phoenix and I are, well, kinda not in the country at the moment. But HBD! We love you dear!”
Kat: “Sorry Meesh, I want to come celebrate, but these dragons are messy… Evee and I have been ready to scream. Love you!!! Happy day of life to you!”
Evee: "Not like you were going to out drink me anyway! Uh-hum, I mean, congrats on completing another cycle around the sun! I'll make it up to you, promise! 😈😇😁😘"
“Lame excuses ladies! Trin, you and Phoenix can suck a giant bag of donkey dicks! Y'all could pop in for five minutes and tell me HBD in person! Kat, I kinda understand. But. You still suck! Evee, I'll out drink you ANYTIME!” Send. She threw the phone back on the bed with a huff.
In her peripheral Misha saw movement by the door. Misha jolted upright and turned toward the door. A short, built man with a shaved, peanut shaped head stood in the doorway. He was dressed in blue jeans and a white tank top. He stared back at her with an expectant look. She could almost hear him thinking “Well?”
Misha took a battle ready stance. “Who are you and what do you want?” She tilted her head slightly. “Better question. How did you get in here?” The house was warded. No one could enter their coven home without being with a coven member.
Raygar, Trinity's huge Dire wolf that is able to shapeshift into a human, pranced into the room then looked back and forth between the two of them. Raygar won't let anything happen to me.
Misha relaxed the slightest bit as she looked into Raygar's caribbean-blue eyes.
-Attack! This man broke into our home!- Misha spoke telepathically into Raygar's mind.
Instead of responding, Raygar shook his silvery gray fur and rolled his eyes. He turned around and showed her his furry butt. He looked over his shoulder to ensure Misha had seen then he walked away. What the hell? Why didn't Raygar attack? He never lets anyone in unless Trin is home yet he just left me with an intruder!
Misha's eyes widened as she turned her attention back to the peanut headed man. He was staring at himself in her mirror, flexing his arms and mumbling that he would fuck himself.
“When you're done admiring yourself, you could answer my questions.”
The man met her gaze in the mirror with a look of surprise. “I completely forgot you were even there. You should have run. Rookie mistake," The man's deep voice said in an accent that made him sound like Vin Diesel.
The man reached his right hand into his pants pocket. Oh, hell no! He ain't grabbing a knife and stabbing me! Misha ran up to the man, grabbed his lower arm and yanked as he was withdrawing it from his pocket. A small vial flew across the room and rolled under the bed.
“Shit!” The man said as he threw a glance in the direction of the vial. He glared at her. “Guess we're doing this the hard way," His fist came up and smashed into her jaw. Misha stumbled back a few steps then lunged at him. She managed to knock him to the floor but he quickly rolled them and pinned her down. As he opened his mouth to say something she headbutted him in the nose. Crack! Misha smiled viciously up at him as blood sprayed on her from his now crooked nose.
“Yo momma does it the hard way!” Misha mocked him as she brought her knee up and connected with his groin. The man blew out a pained breath and released her arms to hammer away at her face. Crack! Misha felt a sharp pain as her jaw dislocated. The fists kept raining down as she fought to shove the man off of her. One of the blows made her eye water as it began to swell closed. Her cheek bone shattered.
“I don't have to tell you shit about who I am or where you will be going! Just know that they found out!” he yelled at her.
Getting nowhere by pushing on the man, Misha wrapped her hands around his neck and squeezed with all she had. She squeezed so hard she began to pant from the exertion. But it didn't seem to phase him.
“In case you didn't notice,” he said, barely winded at all, as he punched the other side of her dislocated jaw, “choking me only turns me on," Misha's jaw snapped back in place and she screamed.
“At least, it would turn me on… if you were someone else," The man continued with a secret smile. He stopped punching her and wrapped his own hands around her neck. Misha smacked and clawed at his big hands.
“Night, night bitch!” His masculine voice vibrated around her as her vision faded out.

Garfield County, Colorado
-Main POV: Deraj-
Deraj jolted awake from a vivid dream of being choked out by a man who looked like Vin Diesel.
He sat upright and clutched his throat while he caught his breath. His phone dinged on the nightstand beside his bed. He reached out and fumbled around in the dark until he found it.
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
The screen lit up and he cringed from the sudden light. There was a text from his commander.
Commander Yelworc: "ANAL is closing in. They captured Elyk. Be safe."
The Alien Neutralization And Limitations agency. They hunt down aliens and determine if they need to be eliminated, imprisoned, or told the rules and helped to acclimate. They label aliens as either Friendly Alien Guests (FAG) or Violent Alien Guests (VAG).
Elyk was one of five Nekawas that were sent five years after him because they thought his ship had malfunctioned and killed him.
Deraj released a sigh and texted back, "Loading up and relocating," Then he put his phone down and got up.
"Scarlet, turn the lights on in my room and the bathroom. Please," He added the last part as an afterthought. He was trying to be nice to his spaceship so that it wouldn't try to kill him again.
The lights turned on without a word from Scarlet. I guess it's still mad. "Hey, listen! I said I was sorry for calling you an incompetent piece of shi-"
"You said 'technology'! As if I'm not a female. As if I'm just a computer."
"I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry times a thousand! I'll be more sensitive! I'm just not used to this," He threw his arms up when he didn't get a response. "Can we not do the silent treatment? We're both well over three hundred now, we're not children!"
"And now you're calling me childish. Apology and insult all with one breath. Wow," Scarlet huffed.
"Are you serious? You've got to be kidding me," He stomped his way into the bathroom, took a quick shower, and dressed as Scarlet lectured him about femininity.
"Scarlet, we don't have time for this. We need to relocate," How do you make up with an alien robot that has feelings like a human female? Wish I could just ask Scarlet...
"Do you want me to activate the camouflage and fly us to a new location?" Scarlet replied.
"Yes, but first shrink us down to the size of a fly. And I want the walls invisible so I can see everything going on outside,"
The Scarlet SX is able to shrink and grow without affecting the inside. It's a little similar to the Doctor's Tardis, bigger on the inside and all that. The camouflage is more like invisibility, anyone that looks at the spaceship now will just see through to whatever is behind it. There is a slight glimmer around the edges but people never seem to notice that, especially when the glimmer would be the size of a fly. The problem is that it uses a lot more energy in both camouflage and invisibility mode.
The Scarlet SX can be charged one of two ways: by starlight (distance matters greatly) or by blood. Blood doesn't work as well because it takes a lot and, unless you're in the middle of a war, it's harder to get enough of it. So blood was not really an option. Unfortunately, the ship cannot recharge via this planet's nearest star, the sun, either because it is currently night. It will take longer to charge from the more distant stars. They would need to relocate quickly then lay low until the sun was available to recharge Scarlet.
Deraj buckled into the captain's seat as Scarlet shrank down and became invisible. Deraj saw two teenage boys, who were outside walking by, stop and stare open mouthed as the place that a house had just been became empty air. The two took off running away as if a ghost was chasing them. Deraj busted out laughing then looked around.
They were in a neighborhood that had been built around Scarlet's house form. After the little girl and her family had disappeared and he hadn't been able to find them, Deraj had decided to have his spaceship turn into a house close to the house that they had left behind, in case they came back. They never did, but eventually other people decided to cut down the trees in the woods surrounding the two houses and build their own.
Scarlet took flight and began flying in circles and loops. "So where are we going?" she asked as Deraj began to feel nauseous.
"Please stop. Please," He clutched his stomach and covered his mouth.
"Stop what? I don't understand what you are referring to," she said as she started a new loop.
"Scarlet, please!"
Scarlet sighed. "Fine,"
She leveled out and hovered over a tree limb. Deraj breathed a sigh of relief. Then she began to zig zag between the leaves, narrowly missing them.
"Scarlet!" Deraj yelled as he gripped the sides of his chair. His knuckles quickly turned white and his face red. He was regretting his command of invisibility.
Scarlet laughed maniacally as she leveled out again and hovered. "Choose a direction and I'll take us as far as I can."
Deraj quickly pointed in a random direction. "That way," Immediately, he grabbed hold of his arm rest again.
"South West, here we come!" Scarlet laughed as she zoomed full speed ahead.

Realm of Sey Eneerg
-Main POV: Trinity-
Trinity stared down at Misha's bloody face and winced. Might have been a bit harder on her than necessary. Misha's face was bruised and, because she isn't immortal yet, it would take quite a while for her to heal on her own.
“I'd like you to know that I'm very disappointed with your reaction to an intruder. And that was a weak fight you gave me," Trinity said in her Vin Diesel voice even though she knew that Misha was unconscious.
She pushed her male body up off of Misha and walked back over to the mirror. Her now battered Vin Diesel form stared back at her. Blood smeared all over her face. Nose at an odd angle. Bruises and scratches all over. “You are still such a sexy beast! Even sexier all beat up actually! The things I plan to do with you… mmm,” she murmured to herself.
Trinity has a bit of an obsession with Vin Diesel. But, can you blame her? Especially when her mate, Phoenix, can make her look like anyone and her air power allows her to change her voice. Really, her obsession is more about herself than the actual guy. Just his appearance.
Trinity sighed. “Phoenix is going to be so pissed," She dug her phone out of her pocket, muttering “Ow. Ow. Ow!” as her cut up hands scraped against the pants. She snapped a few pictures of her with Misha then dialed Phoenix's number.
Phoenix answered on the first ring. “What took so long, babe? I was beginning to wonder if you killed her.”
Trinity glanced at Misha's battered, unconscious form. “Of course not… but, things didn't go according to plan. We are going to have to make a healing potion ASAP. Things got kinda ugly. But on a good note, I really do look great like this. Sooo, any time you think you want to try being with the male of this species, this will do. I have to say though, the goods are a little light. You might want to work on that," she said as she held out her pants and examined her goods.
In the background on the phone she heard Kat say "Evee and I already have a few healing potions ready! Evee needed the practice anyway and I figured Misha would use her training. No worries!"
Then came Evee's, “Why do you sound so nasally?”
"Shut up, Evee! I would send a pic but I would rather not embarrass her on her birthday... So I took pics to hang up in the house later! How long till y'all get home? She is bruising fast."
At the same time they all told her, "About to be there!" Then one of them disconnected the line. Moments later, she heard claws scraping on the floor in another room. And there they are.
Phoenix came into the room first, the healing potions in her hands. She walked over and knelt down beside Misha. She glanced up at Trinity with her eyebrows raised. "Damn babe, did you have to fuck her up so bad? Not sure you should have done that to the birthday girl."
Kat and Evee came in, briefly getting into a smacking fight at the doorway over who was walking through first after they had tried to go through at the same time and had gotten stuck. It ended with Kat dying laughing as Evee elbowed her and ran through.
Trinity stared at Evee and Kat. "Do you two have to act like that every time you come home? After so many years it does," she released a big yawn, "get a little old."
Evee flipped her off then started dancing over Misha, poking her swollen face. "It's why she wins. It's too damn comical," Kat says as she walks over and grabs Evee's hands to make her stop. Kat releases Evee and leans down to place her hands on Misha. Her hands begin to glow a blood red as she checks Misha's vital signs.
"Seriously, Trin? You caused so much damage to her head that you put Misha into a coma?" Kat sighs then looks up to meet Trinity's gaze. "Why didn't you just pin her down and pull the air out of her body?"
"I know I shouldn't have beat her so badly but the way she fought me off... things didn't go so well with using the sleeping powder. All in all it could have been way worse. You know, I never even thought to use my actual powers. She kneed me in my balls. Did I mention that? It hurt so fucking bad!" Trinity replies, half hysterically.
Evee put her hand over her mouth and hid her laugh with a cough as Kat openly chuckled. "I kind of figured, but damn you did a number on her face, Trin! It's a good thing I can heal anything short of being turned to ash," Kat said, turning to look at Phoenix with a small smirk.
Phoenix throws her arms up in the air, facing Kat. "What? It was ONE time!"
Trying to breathe around her laughter, Kat manages to get out, "I wasn't complaining, Phoenix. It was well deserved!"
"He started it," Phoenix mumbled under her breath as Trinity clapped her hands to get their attention.
"We need to get to the place because, as soon as she gets the wake up potion, it will work almost instantly. Not to mention we should stand back. She is going to wake up with the last thing she remembers fresh in her mind, so she may wake up swinging. I don't think me looking like this when she opens her eyes will be a good thing either. Besides, I miss my tits. Rock hard pecs are nice but not really my thing. But first... Phoenix, my love, do you like me better as me or as this sexy god bod?" Trinity said with a wink at Phoenix as she flexes her masculine biceps.
"Yeah babe, that's not even a real question. I definitely miss your tits!" She snaps her fingers at Trinity. Trinity's body instantly thins out and plump, full breasts emerge, leaving the men's clothes bagging on her. Her face becomes less peanut shaped and more heart shaped.
Trinity walks over to stand in front of the mirror yet again. "Phoenix... honey, where the fuck is my hair?" Trinity asked with extreme calmness. "I think you need to do something here,"
She points at her shaved head, "Help me out. I am missing those gorgeous long natural curls. I don't think going to a party with these boots," she said as she pulled a magazine out of her back pocket and points to a picture of thigh high leather boots, "this dress," she flips a few pages and gestures to a picture of a black lace dress, "and looking like I just came off the set of G.I.Jane would be too sexy."
Phoenix laughs and snaps her fingers at her. In a blink, Trinity has curly red hair that reaches her butt. Her blue jeans and white tank top now replaced by a form fitting black mini dress with a flare starting at her hips that shows the gossamer layers flowing to the floor on either side, showing off her sexy thigh high leather boots.
"Much better!" Trinity says in her normal female voice and twirls around. Kat and Evee started smacking each other with one hand as they fought over who would be next, waving pictures of what they wanted with their free hands at Phoenix. Phoenix rolls her eyes at them. She snaps her fingers at Kat then at Evee.
A blood red, skin tight, leather corset top appears on Kat, highlighting her tattoo of two sleeping dragons on her chest. It flows into an extremely soft black skirt that ends right under the knees, looking airy and elegant. Black silk ballerina flats adorn her feet.
A turquoise top that looked more like a fancy bra hugged Evee's breasts and stopped right below them. A matching turquoise skirt flows from her hips to her ankles, with a slit down the right side starting mid thigh. She had on one of her favorite belly button rings, an actual turquoise stone with the tree of life symbol dangling down. Black silk ballerina flats adorn her feet as well.
Evee squeals and jumps up and down behind Kat as Kat strikes poses in front of the mirror.
Raygar walks into the room and looks at the group of witches. They all pause and look at him.
-Keep it down. The pups are finally asleep.- he projects into their minds.
"Sorry!" They all whisper aloud as one. He rolls his eyes and walks away, pausing to flutter his tail as he exits the room.
I am so glad he didn't come and talk to me about the pups earlier. With all the planning and excitement, I forgot to tell him to go along with it all. He must be tired, being a new papa. Trinity thought with a sympathetic sigh escaping her lips.
Phoenix turns toward Misha. She rubs her hands together as she says, "And now for your outfit. I feel like a fairy Godmother!"
"Wait. I made an enchanted dress for the birthday girl," Kat says. She opens an air pocket portal and reaches in. She pulls out a cotton candy pink dress that has a leather halter top.
"Seriously? You can't dress her in that! It's so… pink," Evee says with a look of disgust.
"It changes color based on her mood. That's the enchantment. Plus no matter how she grows or shrinks, it will always fit perfectly on her."
"I don't understand why anyone would want a mood-dress. That reveals way too much!" Evee grumbles.
"Evee, I'm not stupid. Only we can see the color change. To mortals though she will be the hottest and most unattainable in the room," Kat stated.
Trinity could feel the enchantment coming from the dress and knew what Kat hadn't said. Kat had used a spell that Trinity had taught her. A defense invisibility spell. Trinity smiled with approval.
"Oh, now that sounds cool! And I've got a perfect plan for her birthday prank! But how are we going to get that dress on her while she's unconscious?" Evee asks.
"Easy, like this!" Trinity says and, with a wave of her arms, Misha lifts off the ground then a whirlwind surrounds her. Kat puts the dress into the vortex and waits a minute. Once the vortex dissipates, Misha is back to lying down but with the dress on her.
"Oh! I know the perfect shoes!" Phoenix says as she snaps her fingers at Misha. Knee high black leather boots appear on her still form.
Kat lifts Misha on a watery bubble and they all follow her floating body to Kat's room. The black light illuminated three lounging dragons. Misha is gently lowered onto one. Phoenix and Trinity climb onto one together and Kat climbs onto her familiar Kyrie. Evee looks at Kat with a lost expression.
"You wanted to play the prank on her. You get to ride with her and make sure that she doesn't fall off! Besides you know Taryan would get butthurt if you rode on any other dragon."
Evee pointedly glares at Kat as she climbs onto Taryan to join Misha. Kat smirks smugly. She was obviously thinking 'I win' but at least she didn’t say it… This time anyway.
"I'll open the portal. It took you so long to learn how to open one that I'm still worried yours might take us back in time," Trinity teases Kat. She waves her arms through the air and a shimmer appears.
"Las Vegas, here we come!" Evee squeals.
