Hi hiii!!! How’s everyone doing? everyone eager to read the next chapter? I sure am excited to write it. I personally like how it’s going. I look forward each day to type up and post a new chapter. Though it may slow down from after tomorrow, I will still bring out a bare minimum of one chapter a week. Well here is the next chapter, enjoy!
Chapter 6
-Me(uh?)-
Red. There is definitely red there. Obviously not blood. The red that comes to your cheeks when embarrassed, is currently filling her face. Huh? Why? No way? You generally get embarrassed when you do something in front of friends, lovers, or something crazy in front of strangers. This definitely should not be in the above. Sure I think I might like her but there should be nothing on her end… calm down me, just play it off and if she asks be honest but if she says nothing, then let’s just leave it at that. For now.
“You have a sweet taste, just to let ya know.” Really?!?!?!?! That’s the first thing that comes out of my mouth?!?!?! Uuugh I’m an idiot. A complete idiot. Who am I? I am Idiot. Nice to meet you. Ugh, I hope she doesn’t feel uncomfortable from that.
“Um thank you, I think?” she thanked me, although she was slightly confused. Phew, not uncomfortable. I barely slid by with that one. Wait, slid by with what, exactly?
“You’re welcome.” You know this is a perfect time for an awkward atmosphere so therefore I shall break such a thing, now! “So? How was it? I was trying to make it feel a little relaxed or calming or…”
“A bit too intimate, I think.” Ah, so I did make her feel a bit uncomfortable, how regrettable. Well it did come outa nowhere so I can understand.
“Sorry got a bit carried away. Well, I have a few theories as to why you asked me to do that but first thing first is if I passed or not. I guess.” Well aren’t I a little direct. Well I am trying to save time ya know? Well, I don’t want to ruin anything because of that so after this I’ll slow down a bit.
She, with small movements, nodded her large head. Great! I passed, that’s good news. Well honestly I’d like to continue from here however, as of right now it’s almost 10 o’ clock. Though I could sleep here I’d rather sleep on my bed. Something about that bed is quite affable.
“Well if you don’t mind I would like to go to my home, for humans we go to bed… sleep at about this time. So if possible I’d like to return. Is it possible?” I asked, I had no intention of disobeying her if she said I couldn’t but instead she said
“Yes. On a condition.” She gave permission but with a catch. It’s as to be expected.
“Alrighty, let’s hear it.” I push my hand forward in a gesture to let her continue.
“We must accompany you.” Ah. Well then. Didn’t expect that. man my brain hurts.
“Sure, but I don’t think I have enough room in my house for over three hundred people. I think I can, at most, fit twenty, and that’s being generous. Well, that is if you don’t have any child sized hosts. Depending on size I could fit more.” I explained to her.
“That is fine. Only a few of us are needed.” She simply spoke. Well that’s fine. I think it’s better to be honest. Phew, no worries about cramming so many people into one house.
“Alrighty, shall we go?” I said as I opened the door. When I did a fist came to face too fast for me to react to, but, before the fist that could make heads explode could meet my face, a blade came between my face and the fist. Nice save queen. Reflexes like a boss. Now I owe you my life, well more so than what I already did.
“He’s safe. Do not kill him.” She commanded.
The brute, well I say brute because he looks like one of those gym rats that do nothing but lift weights day in and day out, gave me the most gruesome glares ever but resigned himself with a hmph, crossed his arms, and turned to the side to let me pass by. Thanks guy. I said to myself.
“Whatever.” He grumbled. Right. These guys have telepathy. I almost forgot that. That means the queen purposefully did not read my thoughts. She laid the foundation of trust long before I could. She’s cunning I’ll give her that. To think I’d be outdone in this field. It’s kinda cool. What? Thought I’d be against it? Thought I’d be jealous? Nope! Simple petty feelings like that are beneath me. To be exact, I feel more respect for her if anything. Well since she laid the foundation herself I guess I need to start building from here on. It’s going to be super lame if she does all the work.
As I contemplated my next steps and the future for these guys I incidentally came to front door of the college. When I entered these doors today I had no idea that I would be leading people from another race to my own home. Even further still, their very own queen. ‘Lucky me’ my further inner thoughts, well thought. It’s kinda exciting ya know? I wonder if they can taste food… I mean they do inhabit the bodies of humans however they're probably much smaller and only residing in the human. I don’t know if they can taste or feel anything the human hosts do. Let’s experiment shall we. I grew a slight wicked smile, but I instantly suppressed it. If they saw me right now, it definitely would not be good. Wellp onward!
Or so I’d like to say but what’s with this? A group of people were standing in front of me giving me glares of nothing but pure hatred. What’d I do? Huh? What? Ah. Blue tails. Makes sense I guess. Wait, no it doesn’t. I’ve literally done nothing. Why are you guy so hostile? I sighed without holding back.
“They are the oldest amongst us. Though oldest, they haven’t reached half span.” The queen introduced. Are they that young because of the previous incident? If so than that’s quite understandable, but still, those hateful gazes are truly unnecessary. I hope you guys can hear me. IT’s unnecessary!
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
“Queen, might I ask as to why this one hasn’t been taken over, or dealt with yet?” the brute is the one that spoke. Figured it would be him first. He has that air about him that says he’s going to disagree with everything I say. Actually that’s great. If, in the future, all they became were yes men than that too would make things complicated. Though I do need their trust, I do not, however, need yes men. Trust, but still able to doubt me a little.
“We can trust him for now.” She simply stated.
No one moved nor said a word, the brute however glared at me again. What are you? Some evil eyeball that sends lasers from its eyes made of pure hate? A child that got its candy stolen? I’ma call you Ass. Yup, your name, to me, for now on, is Ass. Hello Ass how are you today.
“If I’m ass you’re hole.” He tried to come back at me. It was a nice try but it was pretty bad. Sorry Ass you lose this round. Come back later after you’ve learned to become an insult master like me. I stick my tongue out at him and walk past him heading home.
“Arrogant bastard. The moment you lose our queens trust you die. Remember that.” the brute threatened.
Did… DID HE REALLY SAY SUCH A CLICHÉ LINE!!!!!!! Seriously?!?!?!?! What, is he from the freakin 50’s? Holy crap! Of all the crazy things that has happened today this by far is the craziest! Uuugh am I really going to be walking with a walking cliché? Am I? Mercy? No? I don’t get mercy? Well shit. I sighed a sigh that gave off the feeling of utter despair. This, I’m extremely tired after this. And… shit. I have a thirty-minute walk to my house. Whyy-yyy-yy-yy-y-y I cried inside. Let’s just speed walk and reduce the time. As much as I want to be lazy, this is an emergency therefore let’s hurry.
I picked up my speed to where if I go any faster I would be running, and them? Well they too are walking, though it looks like they could take a nap with how easy it seems to be. Dammiiitt!! Stop being so damn cool! Calm down, it’s not the person it’s the blue tail. It’s all in the blue tail. Without the blue tail they are weak squishy buggy humans… Bullshit!! Regardless of what they are they still look cool walking backwards… is that guy keeping up with me while he’s moon walking? I got nothing to say but props man. GG no re. K.O. let’s just focus on getting home. Ignore the awesome bastards.
Instead of thirty minutes, though still a bit of time, it took us twenty to get to my place. I almost tripped a couple times because it’s been a while since I last walked to my home in the dark and I, being on the line between civilization and nature, have no light to tell me what’s ahead and have to rely on vague memory to navigate. I sighed and opened the front door and breathed in.
“Aaaah home sweet home.” I said with a nostalgic and relaxed tone. “Well find a place to stay, It doesn’t matter where. I’m goin to my room and get comfortable.” I left them with that and went upstairs to my room.
When I arrived at my room I threw off my shoes and flopped on my bed. “It has been quite the long day.” I look at the picture of my family. My mom, dad, little brother and sister all smiling like big idiots. I remembered something nice. A small smile slipped my face but it lasted only a moment. I sighed. “I hope I can do you guys proud... Hey dad, I’m taking your advice and doing something with my life. Though I think it’s a little different than what you’d expect, but I think you can respect it. Little bro and sis, one day your big bro will come see you again.” I chuckled when I thought about it more. “Maybe. It’ll have to wait though. Gotta save an alien race first! You know how it is.”
Thud!
Huh?! Oh shit I fell asleep. Daaamn I must really have been tired. What time is it? I looked at the clock. “Midnight even huh? Seems I was asleep for about forty minutes. Not too bad, then what the HELL ARE THEY DOING DOWN THERE?!?!?” I shouted as I heard multiple thuds and a crash.
I ran down stairs to see what the commotion was and lo and behold. A sight that really isn’t a way to start a new day… once again I sighed with full force.
-Over there-
The hustle and bustle of the city never ends, even at night. If anything it would seem to increase at night. This city in particular is especially bad for that. Trafficking of all sorts arise here at night. One would think that the police would fix the problem but in actuality they are the start of it. The government in this city is part of one of the great Pentagram. Of the five this one is the most corrupt. Greed, lust, pride, sloth, and glutton are the easiest words to describe this section. Whatever’s rare, whatever gleams, whatever that could be desired is sought after like a hungry beast in this government.
This government though is detached from the others for this reason. Living on the small continent from the mainland. Their base is only a small section of the landmass and is separated from the Shadowless Forest by a single two story house.

Welll? Thoughts? How was it? Be honest now. For me this one was a bit difficult to run smoothly but I think I was able to do so. The big guy got a rather interesting name wouldn’t you agree? And Sky’s family. We now know something about them. He seems to have some endearment to them, but what are his circumstances? Well, I’ll just let you guys think on it for a while. And once again thanks for reading!! Have a wonderful day!!!
